And the woman looked down at the hole and said—'What hole is this?'
And a loud voice answered her, saying—
'That hole is Hell!'
And the woman looked up, and, lo! there was God laughing at her.

And the woman looked down again at the hole, and saw how red it was and how very deep.
And she knelt down, with both arms leaning on the brink of the hole.
And she said to God: 'I like this place.'
And God answered: 'Ay, dost thou so?'
And God laughed again.
