But somewhere in her a bell of warning was ringing. The poignant sting of sex appeal had come home to her for the first time.

The young Hebrew, bringing a message, had arrived at the house of his grandfather Nun, before sunrise, after a long night walk from Pithom, called by the Hebrews Succoth, but finding it deserted had lain down in one of the rooms to rest a while. Roused by the shouts of the infuriated mob, he had heard the curses on his race which rang through the whole quarter and fled to the cellar.

All the trees were bright and dewy in the sunrise birds were singing and the thousand variegated colors of the fall swept on from end to end of it, swallowing the little stream, and breaking against the sky like a gay fringe. Verty knew all this, and though he did not look at it, he saw it, and his lips moved. Cloud pricked up his ears, and the hound gazed at his master inquiringly.
