As I was anxious to witness some of their purely religious ceremonies, I wished to go.

When I told Almah, she looked sad, but said nothing.

I wondered at this, and asked her if she was going.

She informed me that she would have to go, whereupon I assured her that this was an additional reason why I should go.
I went with Almah.

The Kohen attended us with his usual kind and gracious consideration.
