"Libi is getting to be a big girl, momma"....Petra.
"Really? How can you tell?" .....Momma.
"Because Libi has teeth now!".....Petra.
"What happens when Libi is a big girl and there are no more babies in our house?" .....Momma.

God forgive us! God Arouse! Shame us out of our callousness!

The tom-toms thumped straight on all night, and the darkness shuddered round me like a living, feeling thing. I could not go to sleep, so I lay awake and looked; and I saw, as it seemed, this:

That I stood on a grassy sward, and at my feet a precipice broke sheer down into infinite space. I looked, but saw no bottom; only cloud shapes, black and furiously coiled, and great shadow-shrouded hollows, and unfathomable depths. Back I drew, dizzy at the depth.

Then I saw forms of people moving single file along the grass. They were making for the edge. There was a woman with a baby in her arms and another little child holding her dress. She was on the very verge. Then I saw that she was blind. She lifted her foot for the next step...it trod into air. She was over, and the children over with her. Oh, the cry as they went over!
