I sent Martha away, and journeyed on alone.

It was sweet to find myself free, to see the heavens above my head, and to hear the soft night breezes.

In the clear brightness of the night I could see far about me, and I knew that I was alone and had naught to fear.

Thanks to Martha's good nursing and the food she had contrived for me, I was stronger than I had been for many long days and weeks.

It was happiness to use my limbs, and I was not wearied by my journey.
