Levi held his torch up near the roof.

"It is because she is the handmaiden of the Lord," replied Levi, reverently.
After they had left the cave and were once more out in the bright sunshine, the children were allowed to choose a place for the picnic dinner. They had brought water for bathing the hands and face as well as for drinking. Levi had told them before they started that there was no well or spring near the place.

"Indeed we would," sounded a chorus of voices.
