Murder by the Dead SeaThe children are shocked and outraged
Chapter 44
By and by, Harry went to great ugly place called iIndiana,
2Where multitudes of children were crying out against the jgenocide being committed by the Americans,
3And he showed up near to a dead sea called Erie,
4And beheld a giant clamor as children mocked the ksoldiers who had come to oppress them for their ideals.
5Even as he watched, the soldiers grew weary with the taunts of the children,
6And fired rifles at them,
7lKilling several on the spot.
8Thereupon, there was a great weeping and wailing,
9As the children who had not been shot beat their breasts,
10Saying, “How can this be, that we are hunted down like animals,
11“And tormented, and treated with such great shabbiness, and excrement like that?
12Among these were several who recognized Harry,
13Having heard of him and his Angels,
14From their friends on the coast,
15And they approached him respectfully, saying,
16“Master, truly we have been told great things about your mwisdom and your power.
17“But if you know so much, then tell us how we might restore our friends who have been murdered,
18n“And how we might gain vengeance against the evil ones who have done this terrible thing.”
19While the children spoke to him, waving their arms about with great energy and violence, Harry listened attentively;
20And when they had done, and stood staring at him expectantly, he replied to them in a calm voice, with his arms folded, saying, Forget about these things,
21They do not matter,
22Because they are already in the past,
23aAnd nothing will bring these dead children back to life,
24For truly their hearts have stopped beating,
25And they are bhistory.
