Then the thought came into Lod's mind, "Ged does not hit. What will Ged do instead?" And Lod lowered his sword and struck not, and his imagination began to work on that "What will Ged do instead?" And the more Lod thought, the worse was his fear of Ged. And Lod ran away and left him.
In A.D. 135 it was captured by a Roman force after a siege of three and a half years. Ramleh, a point twelve miles from Jaffa, was once occupied by Napoleon. Lydda, supposed to be the Lod of Ezra 2:33, was passed. Here Peter healed Aeneas, who had been palsied eight years. Jaffa is the Joppa of the Bible, and has a good deal of interesting history.
Evening fell and the night came when Ith should speak with Ged, and Lod became ever surer of the doom of his race. He lay down but could not sleep. Midnight had barely come when Lod arose and went with his iron sword again to the hill. And there sat Ged. Had Ith been to him yet? Ith whom Ged loved, who hated the sword-holders.
Suffice it to say that Pierre Loti has been always the nom de plume of M. Viaud. Lod has no immediate literary ancestor and no pupil worthy of the name.
Deep in his heart Lod shuddered, for his instinct told him that Ged wanted Lod's only son, who should hold the iron sword when Lod was gone. No one would dare touch Lod because of the iron sword, but his instinct said in his slow mind again and again, "Ged loves Ith. Ith has said so. Ith hates the sword-holders." "Ith hates the sword-holders. Ged loves Ith."
The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two. The children of the other Elam, a thousand two hundred fifty and four. The children of Harim, three hundred and twenty. The children of Jericho, three hundred forty and five. The children of Lod, Hadid, and Ono, seven hundred twenty and one. The children of Senaah, three thousand nine hundred and thirty.
Here, can't ye len' a hond? Dom it, I'd ha' dean it if all my boans were brokken. 'Here! cried Nicholas, staggering to his feet, 'I'm ready. I'm only a little abroad, that's all.

I'm goin' to read up this Socialism; for it seems to me to be worth it." "So will I. I hae got twa or three bits o' books that I bought, an' I'll swallow them as quick as I can. Lod! It seems as if a new world had opened up a' thegether the night. I'm that dam'd happy, I could rin roon' an' tell everybody aboot it!
And Ith said little, but the tribe thought that he had expected the terrible storm because the meat that they had laid before Ged had been tough meat, and not the best parts of the beasts they slew. And Ged grew to have more honour among the tribe than Lod. And Lod was vexed. One night Lod arose when all were asleep, and quieted his dog, and took his iron sword and went away to the hill.
And he came on Ged in the starlight, sitting still, with his elbows pointing outwards, and his beast's paw, and the mark of the fire on the ground where his food had been cooked. And Lod stood there for a while in great fear, trying to keep to his purpose. Suddenly he stepped up close to Ged and lifted his iron sword, and Ged neither hit nor shrank.
