"As the Lord liveth, it is Amrah!" he said to himself. He hurried on, and passing by the mother and daughter, still without recognizing them, he stopped before the servant. "Amrah," he said to her, "Amrah, what do you here?" She rushed forward, and fell upon her knees before him, blinded by her tears, nigh speechless with contending joy and fear. "O master, master!
Thus encouraged Tirzah took Amrah's hand and arose; but as they were going, Amrah said, "Stay; the man is returning." And they waited for him. "I pray your grace, woman," he said, upon overtaking them. "Remembering that the sun will be hot before the Nazarene arrives, and that the city is near by to give me refreshment should I need it, I thought this water would do thee better than it will me.
Her mistress, her darling they? The soul of the woman sickened at the sight. "These are old women," she said to herself. "I never saw them before. I will go back." She turned away. "Amrah," said one of the lepers. The Egyptian dropped the jar, and looked back, trembling. "Who called me?" she asked. "Amrah." The servant's wondering eyes settled upon the speaker's face. "Who are you?" she cried.
They moved back, but heard him mutter in his dream, "Mother! Amrah! Where is " He fell off into the deep sleep. Tirzah stared wistfully. The mother put her face in the dust, struggling to suppress a sob so deep and strong it seemed her heart was bursting. Almost she wished he might waken. He had asked for her; she was not forgotten; in his sleep he was thinking of her. Was it not enough?
"Prove to me what you say, Amrah." "I am ready." "Then you shall not tell him where we are or that you have seen us only that, Amrah." "But he is looking for you. He has come from afar to find you." "He must not find us. He shall not become what we are. Hear, Amrah. You shall serve us as you have this day. You shall bring us the little we need not long now not long.
On the road going their infirmity left them, so that there was nothing to remind us of it except their polluted clothes." "Such thing was never heard before never in all Israel!" said Simonides, in undertone.

So poor Amrah, aloof and hiding her face, knew the transformation the lepers were undergoing without a word spoken to her knew it, and shared all their feeling to the full.
"These we see are from the city going to meet him; those we hear in the east are his friends bearing him company; and it will not be strange if the processions meet here before us. "I fear, if they do, we cannot be heard." The same thought was in the elder's mind. "Amrah," she asked, "when Judah spoke of the healing of the ten, in what words did he say they called to the Nazarene?"
Suddenly she arose upon her knees again. "O my mistress, where is Tirzah?" "Here I am, Amrah, here! Will you not bring me a little water?" The habit of the servant renewed itself. Putting back the coarse hair fallen over her face, Amrah arose and went to the basket and uncovered it. "See," she said, "here are bread and meat."
"Our father's mother wore it I do not know how many Sabbaths in her life. It has cured I do not know how many people more than three anyhow. It is approved look, here is the mark of the rabbis." "I have no faith in amulets." She raised her eyes to his in astonishment. "What would Amrah say?" "Amrah's father and mother tended sakiyeh for a garden on the Nile." "But Gamaliel!"
