#AN 17 But as for me, I sold the field which I had received of my father, even my cornfield, for a small price; for it had become little more than a place of graves, wherein lay many thousands of the dead. 18 Ariel, speaking on behalf of her family, vowed to help the brethren to seek a quiet life far from the continuing threat of war, as many as were willing to go.

But the seemingly boundless generosity of Ariel and her kinfolk still engendered suspicion there was a underlying motive. 6:1 Now when the faithful of the Lord of Hosts Fellowship first beheld the likeness of Ariel in the color portrait, many among them did take her for a young man, or even a lad; and I confess that at that time I did likewise. And upon the road unto the farm of the Haivri, I did often ride somewhat behind her, and observe her closely, for my heart was much drawn unto her.
