If you do not desire to be weaker than the woman whose opposition roused your wrath, sacrifice your own wishes for the welfare of yonder thousands, who are of the same blood! With your hand on these stones you must swear . . . ." But here her voice failed. Her hands groped vainly for some support, and with a loud cry she sank on her knees beside Hur's token.

It had been no easy matter, in truth, to deter the younger of the ill-treated bondsmen from this act of vengeance; but each one was a member of some family, and when Hur's admonitions were supported by those of the fathers and mothers, they not only allowed themselves to be pacified, but aided the elders to distribute the contents of the magazines among the heads of families and pack them on the beasts of burden and into the carts which were to accompany the fugitives.
"Welcome to Llanwaetur, welcome to Llanwaetur, and Cot pless hur pretty face," said the old woman, who followed Betty Williams out of the cottage. "Hur's my grandmother, miss," said Betty. "Very likely but let me see my Araminta," cried Angelina: "cruel woman! where is she, I say?" "Cot pless hur! Cot pless hur pretty face," repeated the old woman, curtsying.
Joshua, at the head of a strong detachment, had retreated from the battle, accompanied by Bezaleel, Hur's grandson, Aholiab, his most beloved comrade, the youthful Ephraim, and Reuben, Milcah's husband.

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.
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.

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.
