The World English Bible (WEB): Jonah
Book 32 Jonah 001:001 Now the word of Yahweh came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, 001:002 "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me." 001:003 But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. He went down to Joppa, and found a ship going to Tarshish; so he paid its fare, and went down into it, to go with them to Tarshish from the presence of Yahweh. 001:004 But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up. 001:005 Then the mariners were afraid, and cried every man to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten it. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep. 001:006 So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God{or, gods}! Maybe your God{or, gods} will notice us, so that we won't perish." 001:007 They all said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this evil is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
Mr. Conant stood and stared at her, his hands clasped behind his back in
characteristic attitude. He could not remember ever having heard of
Sarah Judd.
"Mrs. Morrison," he said in his choppy voice, "is in Europe."
The girl stared at him in return, as if stupified. Then she sat down in
the nearest chair and continued to stare. Finding her determined on
silence, Mr. Conant spoke again.
"The Morrisons are spending the summer abroad. I and my family are
occupying the Lodge in their absence. I--eh--eh--I am Mr. Conant, of
Dorfield."
The girl sighed drearily. She was quite small, about seventeen years of
age and dressed in a faded gingham over which she wore a black cloth
coat that was rusty and frayed. A black straw hat, fearfully decorated
with red velvet and mussed artificial flowers, was tipped over her
forehead. Her features were not bad, but her nose was blotched, her face
strongly freckled and her red hair very untidy. Only the mild blue eyes
redeemed the unattractive face--eyes very like those of Mary Louise in
expression, mused Mr. Conant, as he critically eyed the girl.
"I have come here to work," she said after a long pause, during which
she seemed trying to collect her thoughts. "I am Sarah Judd. Mrs.
Morrison said I must come here on Saturday, the tenth day of July, to go
