We made our best speed this way, and very soon were back at home in the Great City. We crossed the garden and entered the front door, expecting to find Lua in the living room, but she was not there. The house was quiet. "She would wait up, she told me," Miela said, and, raising her voice, called her mother's name. There was no answer, although now I remember I thought I heard a footfall upstairs.
EVE. Yes: you have to twirl a stick to feel your strength: you cannot taste life without making it bitter and boiling hot: you cannot love Lua until her face is painted, nor feel the natural warmth of her flesh until you have stuck a squirrel's fur on it. You can feel nothing but a torment, and believe nothing but a lie.
Lua refused to accompany us; but she urged Anina to go, and the little girl was ready enough to take advantage of her mother's permission. Though he said nothing, I shall never forget Mercer's face as this decision was made. The vehicle in which Miela had made her former trip was still lying in the valley where we had left it.
I looked curiously at these specimens of the Musulungu or Musurungu, a wilder race than that of Shark Point: the English, of course, call them Missolonghi, because Lord Byron died there. Here the people say "le" for "re," and "rua" for "lua," confounding both liquids, which may also be found in the Kibundo tongue.
These revolts against the chiefs have given birth, to several proverbial expressions, applied to the district of Ka'u. Thus it is called Aina makaha Land of torrents: a nation which removes and shatters every thing like a torrent; Ka'u makaha Ka'u the torrent; Ka lua kupapau o na'lii The sepulchre of the high chiefs; Aina kipi The rebellious land. He was a chief of the olden time.
"To Baar's house they are taking us, I think. It is on the marshland below." Miela spoke without fear of our captors understanding the English words. We took advantage of this until after a moment we were roughly ordered to be quiet. Lua, we thought, must have been taken away before we arrived; we would find her at Baar's house when we arrived there.
I dropped wearily into a seat, and Miela sat on the floor at my feet with her arms on my knees. I stroked her glossy black hair idly. "I'm tired, girl. I'm all in. Aren't you?" We had not slept since the afternoon before, and so much had happened since. Suddenly I remembered Lua. "Miela your mother. We must find her." I started to my feet, then sat down again.
Ḥuqúqu’lláh funds, supplemented by the practice of deputization, which was already an established feature of Persian Bahá’í consciousness, provided material support for this teaching activity. In the West, inspiration for the promotion of the Faith had been provided by the response to the Master’s appeals by such outstanding individuals as Lua Getsinger, May Maxwell and Martha Root.
Ask that woman whom you made, who is also my wife, whether she would have me as I was in the days when I followed the ways of Adam, and was a digger and a drudge? You dare come here boasting about that good-for-nothing Lua, the worst of daughters and the worst of wives! You her master! You are more her slave than Adam's ox or your own sheepdog.
A woman stood on the front platform an instant, and then, screaming, flung herself into the water. The city was in commotion. Faces appeared at windows; girls flew up and gathered in a frightened flock, circling about the burning building; boats miraculously appeared from everywhere. Lua was steering their boat on its tortuous way between the houses.
