The World English Bible (WEB): Ezekiel
Book 26 Ezekiel 001:001 Now it happened in the thirtieth year, in the fourth [month], in the fifth [day] of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 001:002 In the fifth [day] of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity, 001:003 the word of Yahweh came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Yahweh was there on him. 001:004 I looked, and behold, a stormy wind came out of the north, a great cloud, with flashing lightning, and a brightness round about it, and out of the midst of it as it were glowing metal, out of the midst of the fire. 001:005 Out of the midst of it came the likeness of four living creatures. This was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man. 001:006 Everyone had four faces, and each one of them had four wings. 001:007 Their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's foot; and they sparkled like burnished brass. 001:008 They had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides;
with Adrienne and Ethel. Of the old clan, Norma Bennett alone was
absent, a loss which was loudly lamented by all.
So swiftly did time fly that the party ended in a mad scurry to comply
with the inexorable half-past ten o'clock rule.
Jane went to bed that night considerably lighter of heart. Reunion with
the girls who were nearest to her had driven the afternoon's
unpleasantness from her thoughts, for the time being at least. The
friendly presence of those she loved had proved a powerful antidote.
A night's sound sleep served to separate her further from the
disagreeable incidents of the previous day. She had two things, at
least, to be glad of, she reflected, as she dressed next morning. She
was back in her own room. More, she now stood on an entirely different
footing with Mrs. Weatherbee than heretofore.
This last was brought home to her more strongly than ever when, in going
down to breakfast, she passed the matron on her way to the dining-room
and received a smiling "Good morning, Miss Allen."
It was at decided variance with the reserved manner in which Mrs.
Weatherbee had formerly been wont to greet her.
"Well, we are once again at the same table," remarked Adrienne as Jane
slipped into the place at table she had occupied during her freshman
