Above these was a terraced street, where a vast multitude moved to and fro--a living tide as crowded and as busy as that in Cheapside.
After what seemed a long time the Kohen returned.

This time he came with a number of people, all of whom were in cars drawn by opkuks.
Half were men and half women.

These came aboard, and it seemed as though we were to be separated; for the women took Almah, while the men took me.

Upon this I entreated the Kohen not to separate us.

I informed him that we were both of a different race from his, that we did not understand their ways; we should be miserable if separated.
I spoke long and with all the entreaty possible to one with my limited acquaintance with the language.
