Judith always gave Salome her own way except on one point . `` If you want the child , I suppose you must have him , '' she said finally . `` I wish he had a civilized name , though . Hezekiah is bad , and Lionel is worse ; but the two in combination , and tacked on to Smith at that , is something that only Martha Smith could have invented . Her judgment was the same clear through , from selecting husbands to names . '' So Lionel Hezekiah came into Judith 's home and Salome 's heart . The latter was permitted to love him all she pleased , but Judith overlooked his training with a critical eye . Possibly it was just as well , for Salome might otherwise have ruined him with indulgence . Salome , who always adopted Judith 's opinions , no matter how ill they fitted her , deferred to the former 's decrees meekly , and suffered far more than Lionel Hezekiah when he was punished . She sat on the stairs until she fell asleep herself , her head pillowed on her arm . Judith found her there when she came in , severe and triumphant , from her bout with the henhouse door . Her face softened into marvelous tenderness as she looked at Salome . `` She 's nothing but a child herself in spite of her age , '' she thought pityingly . `` A child that 's had her whole life thwarted and spoiled through no fault of her own . And yet folks say there is a God who is kind and good ! If there is a God , he is a cruel , jealous tyrant , and I hate Him ! '' Judith 's eyes were bitter and vindictive . She thought she had many grievances against the great Power that rules the universe , but the most intense was Salome 's helplessness -- Salome , who fifteen years before had been the brightest , happiest of maidens , light of heart and foot , bubbling over with harmless , sparkling mirth and life . If Salome could only walk like other women , Judith told herself that she would not hate the great tyrannical Power . Lionel Hezekiah was subdued and angelic for four days after that affair of the henhouse door .
