`` Judith ! '' gasped Salome , aghast at the impiety . She half expected to see her sister struck dead at her feet . `` Do n't ` Judith ' me ! '' said Judith passionately , in the strange anger that any discussion of the subject always roused in her . `` I mean every word I say . Before you got lame I did n't feel much about it one way or another ; I 'd just as soon have gone with mother as with father . But , when you were struck down like that , I knew father was right . '' For a moment Salome quailed . She felt that she could not , dare not , stand out against Judith . For her own sake she could not have done so , but the thought of Lionel Hezekiah nerved her to desperation . She struck her thin , bleached little hands wildly together . `` Judith , I 'm going to church to-morrow , '' she cried . `` I tell you I am , I wo n't set Lionel Hezekiah a bad example one day longer . I 'll not take him ; I wo n't go against you in that , for it is your bounty feeds and clothes him ; but I 'm going myself . '' `` If you do , Salome Marsh , I 'll never forgive you , '' said Judith , her harsh face dark with anger ; and then , not trusting herself to discuss the subject any longer , she went out . Salome dissolved into her ready tears , and cried most of the night . But her resolution did not fail . Go to church she would , for that dear baby 's sake . Judith would not speak to her at breakfast , and this almost broke Salome 's heart ; but she dared not yield .
After breakfast , she limped painfully XXXXX her room , and still more painfully dressed herself .
