After I was hit on the head with the Bible, the Pentecostals seem to melt silently away. The lady who had hit me did mutter I am sorry. Michael thought it was quite funny saying she really nailed you, Foad said something like you and women, Marion came over, worried but asked what did you say to that lady so she hit you like that? Ruhiyyih was of the same view such a nice lady why would she do that , as a nurse she did make sure I was okay though. The check-up was how many fingers am I holding up, there is no blood , where does it hurt on your head oh there dont be such a baby etc etc. On the Monday I had gone to the Coffee Pot to have a quiet morning coffee and a custard pie. I was musing about the Saturday night; does this mean Bahais should wear protective headgear, I reflected that the Hidden Words was too small to act as a shield does this mean much large Bahai books for that purpose. When who should appear at my booth the one and only my watcher/stalker. Unlike the normal opening of hell-fire and devil worshipper and bible quotes, although the Bible was firmly grasped in her hand, she said may I speak to you please Derek. To her obvious surprise I said why dont you sit down and let me get you a coffee and bun. The essence of the conversation was that she was so sorry for hitting me and clearly was. She said I have never hit anybody in my life. She said at the Church yesterday we talked about what had happened and said prayers for you hoping you were okay. I then found out the their Church had decided, because young people were becoming Bahais , they had to stop the Bahai Faith. She said we all were given a person to make contact with because you do not have a leader or priest. We feel badly about you becoming Bahais because you are such nice young people and we want to save you. She told me she had been a Pentecostal for 6 years, the other churches she explained she did not think had the spirit of Jesus alive in them. So she said we decided yesterday that we are not going to be following each one of you around anymore. I asked how did you know we would be on the bus. It turned out the Pentecostal girls< We referred to them as Michaels Christian groupies> who had been attending our parties had heard we all planning to go to Manchester on the Bus. Mildred asked me if I would meet with the leader of their Church. I said I thought you did not have a minister , he is the lay preacher of our Church. We agreed to meet the next day for coffee.
