"'Tain't review Sunday, teacher."
Teacher decided to ignore this. "Very well," she said. "We will now have the Golden Text for today. Who will say it first? I will give you a start—'As Moses—'"
"As Moses," piped a chorus of small voices.
"Lifted up," prompted Desire.
"Lifted up," shrilled the chorus.
"Yes?" expectantly.
The chorus was silent.
"Well, children, go on."
But nobody went on.
"You don't know it," declared Desire with mild severity. "Very well. Learn it for next Sunday. Now I am going to ask you some questions. First of all—who was Moses?"
