Her face was in no wise disfigured when they lifted her from the water.
It was solemn and inflexible, as had been its expression for a long
time before.
Two days after, she was buried by her co-religionists in the spot
belonging to her in the "Good Place." As they dug the grave, they found
the remains of a large bush. Only a few knew that it was once a
rose-bush, which had been used in a very solemn ceremony connected with
the deceased.
On her gravestone is this inscription:
---------------------------------------------------
| Judith, Countess Baranowski, |
| |
| DAUGHTER OF NATHANIEL BEN-MANASSES, |
| OF THE TRIBE OF ISRAEL. |
| |
| She died in darkness, but the day will dawn. |
