At a dinner in Barbados the previous year, at his son Larry's hotel with his wife, Larry and Larry's wife and two ministers and their wives, he told an Episcopal minister of David calling him Father; the minister objected that David said 'my lord', and Neville answered from the word Adonay. He addressed himself chiefly to the second, Negro minister, who drove him the fifteen miles home and, told that every word was true, replied 'I believe it'.
