"Are you all right?" asked Tilly-Bear.
"Oh, I'm all right," said Theodore. "I just need to spend a little more
time studying my Bible and seeking out the Lord."
"But, Theodore, you've been doing this for almost two weeks. You haven't been
sleeping right and you've hardly eaten a thing. I found something special for you to eat
if you'll come home. Is this so important that you can't stop for a while to eat and
rest?" asked Tilly-Bear.
"It's very, very important," said Theodore. "I'll be all right. Just
leave me alone for a little while longer."
