Neville's dancing partner comments on his Bible reading, on his 1936 engagement to Bill

When Neville and Bill got engaged in 1936 his dancing partner, who disapproved of his interest in the Bible, told his wife to wear a dress resembling the Bible to keep him; he read it six hours a day, seven days a week, with the Hebrew and Greek concordances, and refuses the best-sellers people press on him.

  • There Is No Other God ¶25 (In fact, my dancing partner, when Bill and I got engaged back in 1936 – she said to my wife: “You know, I’ll tell you one thing, how to keep him. Wear a dress that resembles the Bible. He’s always reading it.”)
