'Muriel...read me the Fourth Commandment. Does it not say something about never sleeping in a bed?' With some difficulty Murie spelt it out.

From now onwards it was forbidden to sing it.

Do you not see what is written on the side of that van?' [said Benjamin]...That gave the animals pause, and there was a hush. Muriel began to spell out the words. But Benjamin pushed her aside..." (107-108)."Years passed...Muriel was dead" (112).
