"But, children, where are you going?" asked one of the men. Whereupon the littlest ones set up a loud wail, and the eldest boy answered: "We don't want to go to Jerusalem; we want to go home."
"What are you hiding here, my Lady? I insist upon knowing!" My Lady cast down her eyes, and spoke in the littlest of little voices. "Don't make fun of it, Benjamin!" she pleaded. "It's it's -don't you understand? It's a DAGGER!" "And what's that for?" sneered His Excellency. "We've only got to make people think he's dead! We haven't got to kill him!
