Jehovah, when thou wentest forth from Seir, When thou marchest from the land of Edom, The earth trembled, the heavens also dripped, Yea, the clouds dropped water. The mountains quaked before Jehovah, Yon Sinai before Jehovah, the God of Israel. In the days of Shamgar the son of Anath, In the days of Jael, the highways ceased to be used, And travellers walked by round-about paths.
"Mrs Broughton," said Clara, thoughtful of her raiment, and remembering that it might not be well that she should return home, even in a cab, dressed as Jael; "if you will allow me, I will go into your room for a minute or two." "Certainly, Clara," said Mrs Broughton, preparing to accompany her.
He often wished to consult Jael Dence again; he had a superstitious belief in her sagacity. But the recollection of her cold manner deterred him. At last, however, impatience and the sense of desolation conquered, and he rode over to Raby Hall. He found his uncle and his mother in the dining-room. Mr. Raby was walking about looking vexed, and even irritable. The cause soon transpired.
The third is the eulogy of Jael for doing so, as "blessed above women," in the so-called Song of Deborah. Here, you see, Providence is only concerned with the fortunes of Israel; any deceit and any cruelty is right which brings success to this people. Providence is not concerned with morality; nor is it concerned with individuals, except as the individual serves or opposes Israel.
He walked moodily up and down, very little satisfied with himself, and at last he got ashamed of his own thoughts. "Oh, no!" he said, "she is in her room, sure enough." He turned his back, and strolled out into the road. Presently he heard the rustle of a woman's dress. He stepped into the shade of the firs directly, and his heart began to beat hard. But it was only Jael Dence.
Then there was much kissing, and shaking of hands, and promising to come again, and away they drove to Hillsborough. On the road Henry, for the first time, was very respectful, as well as kind, to Jael. She was soft and gentle, but rather silent and reserved. They parted at the door of "Woodbine Villa." Next day, Henry called early, and found Miss Carden alone. His heart beat tumultuously.
But I can see as far through a stone wall as any blind horse can, and I know better maybe than you do, Jael that all they'll get by cutting loose and playing pirates is the worst end of it. I hate to see them lose out, so I use what gifts I've got in their behalf." "Do you call it helping us to come out against Ali Higg and kidnap his wives?" she retorted. "Ali Higg is a patriot.
Grace faltered out an explanation. "When he had saved my life, I was so grateful I wanted to make him a return. I believed Jael Dence and he I have so high an opinion of her I ventured to give him a hint that he might find happiness there." Raby bit his lip. "A most singular interference on the part of a young lady," said he, stiffly. "You are right, doctor; this age resembles no other.
And I am sure poor Jael was innocent of any jocular intention, as advancing sternly she pointed to her master's pate, where his long-worn powder was scarcely distinguishable from the snows of age. He bore the assault gravely and unshrinkingly, merely saying, "Woman, peace!"
It made me think of the suppers of the Three Bears in their three basins, and I dare say theirs were rather cold too. Perhaps their Jael boiled their bread-and-milk at her own time, whether they were ready for it or not. But I think mine must have been like the Little Bear's supper, for I ate it all up.
