I wondered what the message meant, and what had come over the Queen, and whither the girl had gone.

But the Prophet was firm, and promised them fighting in plenty as soon as they should have reached Medina again.
They listened silently to this frank speech, and some of their faces wore crestfallen expressions by the time she had finished.
