Then three of the sisters in the field appeared, coming toward the road, so the Golden One walked away from us. They took the bag of seeds, and they threw the seeds into the furrows of earth as they walked away. But the seeds flew wildly, for the hand of the Golden One was trembling. THEN THREE OF THE SISTERS IN THE FIELD APPEARED COMING TOWARD THE ROAD SO THE GOLDEN ONE WALKED AWAY FROM US THEY TOOK THE BAG OF SEEDS AND THEY THREW THE SEEDS INTO THE FRIARS OF EARTH AS THEY WALKED AWAY BUT THE SEEDS FLEW WILDLY FOR THE HAND OF THE GOLDEN ONE WAS TREMBLING
 cause for the thought which came to us, we felt cold, cold to our stomach. “How old are you?” we asked. They understood our thought, for they lowered their eyes for the first time. “Seventeen,” they whispered. And we sighed, as if a burden had been taken from us, for we had been thinking without reason of the Palace of Mating. And we thought that we would not let the Golden One be sent to the Palace. How to prevent it, how to bar the will of the Councils, we knew not, but we knew suddenly that we would. Only we do not know why such thought came to us, for these ugly matters bear no relation to us and the Golden One. What relation can they bear? Still, without reason, as we stood there by the hedge, we felt our lips drawn tight with hatred, a sudden hatred for all our brother men. And the Golden One saw it and smiled slowly, and there was in their smile the first sadness we had seen in them. We think that in the wisdom of women the Golden One had understood more than we can understand. NG MEN AND SUDDENLY WITHOUT CAUSE FOR THE THOUGHT WHICH CAME TO US WE FELT COLD COLD TO OUR STOMACH HOW OLD ARE YOU WE ASKED THEY UNDERSTOOD OUR THOUGHT FOR THEY LOWERED THEIR EYES FOR THE FIRST TIME SEVENTEEN THEY WHISPERED AND WE SIGHED AS IF A BURDEN HAD BEEN TAKEN FROM US FOR WE HAD BEEN THINKING WITHOUT REASON OF THE PALACE OF MAIDEN AND WE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD NOT LET THE GOLDEN ONE BE SENT TO THE PALACE HOW TO PREVENT IT HOW TO BAR THE WILL OF THE COUNCILS WE KNEW NOT BUT WE KNEW SUDDENLY THAT WE WOULD ONLY WE DO NOT KNOW WHY SUCH THOUGHT CAME TO US FOR THESE UGLY MATTERS BEAR NO RELATION TO US AND THE GOLDEN ONE WHAT RELATION CAN THEY BEAR STILL WITHOUT REASON AS WE STOOD THERE BY THE HEDGE WE FELT OUR LIPS DRAWN TIGHT WITH HATRED A SUDDEN HATRED FOR ALL OUR BROTHER MEN AND THE GOLDEN ONE SAW IT AND SMILED SLOW SLOWLY AND THERE WAS IN THEIR SMILE THE FIRST SADNESS WE HAD SEEN IN THEM WE THINK THAT IN THE WISDOM OF WOMEN THE GOLDEN ONE HAD UNDERSTOOD MORE THAN WE CAN UNDERSTAND
