“The sky was beautiful; the sand was like gold. The pyramids rose like majestic monuments of truth against the azure sky. “What a fool I am!” Judith said aloud to the wind and the sky. “I shall do what I have come to do!” She suddenly wanted to laugh and run out of pure joy. She gathered her skirts up nearly to her knees and plunged through the soft, deep sand with galloping leaps. “Taste and see the goodness of the Lord!” she cried.”
