But it had been used, and on the sandy soil for mats had been spread only in the living room of the tent she saw close beside her own bed the prints of Hur's footsteps. So he had stood close by it and perhaps, while she was sleeping, gazed yearningly into her face. Ay, this had really happened; her old female slave told her so unasked.
Hur's consort must be made aware that he, Joshua, no longer cherished any love for her. Even in his solitary hours, he had wholly ceased to think of her. He confessed that she was a noble, a majestic woman, but the very memory of this grandeur now sent a chill through his veins. Her actions, too, appeared in a new light.
Her course was as plain as the vision which had just vanished. And, as if the Most High desired to show her that she had rightly understood its meaning, Hur's voice was heard near the sycamore ere she had risen to prepare her lover for the sorrow to which she must condemn herself and him commanding the multitude flocking from all directions to prepare for the departure.

Moses and Aaron, too, had gone away, taking Hur's grandson with them; but no one had deemed her, who lived and breathed solely for her people and their welfare, worthy to learn whither their journey led or what was its purpose. Why had the God to whom she devoted her whole life and being made her a woman, yet given her the mind and soul of a man?
He had learned from Hur's words that his father and Moses rejected all mediation, yet the promises he was bearing to the people seemed to him a merciful gift from the Most High.
"Who is the young lady?" whispered the mistress of the fruit shop to Betty Williams, whilst Miss Warwick was walking we should say pacing up and down the room, in anxious solicitude, and evident agitation. "Hur's a young lady," replied Betty, stopping to take a mouthful of cheesecake between every member of her sentence, "a young lady that has lost hur " "Her heart so I thought."
Perault would not tell me the truth." "Non, ma petite, dat hur's not so ver' bad, but de cole water das bad ting for fader, sure." The cloud of gloom on the girl's face deepened. She turned away toward the door and saying, "I'll go and get some crocuses," she mounted her pony and rode off toward the Jumping Rock. Within half an hour the girl came galloping back.
The men under Hur's command also joined in the prayer and wherever Joshua appeared Ephraim's companions greeted him with cheers. "Hail to our chief !" often rang on the air, as they marched forward: "Hail to him whom the Most High Himself has chosen for His sword! We will gladly follow him; for through him God leads us to victory."
Was this fitting gratitude for the generosity with which he had divested himself, for the sake of the younger man, of a dignity that belonged to him alone? To see her husband thus slighted pierced her to the heart and caused her more pain than Hur's leaving her, his newly-wedded wife, to solitude. The supper before the tent of the Ephraimites lasted a long time.
