			            "God will provide," she said, and there was that awful light in her eyes that said she was doing something mixed-up in her brain just to be able to concentrate. She pushed the cloth into his arms and stood back. "I - I w-wish I knew what to do, but... we have not sent down the message that thou shouldst be miserable - be a man, stand up, surely don't give in. For her. You haveta... Keep your head. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
