A smug preacher.
- 1891, Alfred Trumble, The Art Collector: A Journal Devoted to the Arts and the Crafts (page 50)
  Chadbands have nothing to do with art, and their appearance on every possible occasion is an insult to artistic intelligence. The priest is the enemy of art; always has been, and always will be. Art is pagan, and the prattle of the preacher will never make it anything else.

  Would a Chadband, a deliberate hypocrite, have achieved the stern self-abandonment with which he now set himself to readjust Edward Albert's affairs?
