Just an addition to the capsule life of Galla. As a widow, she fell
victim to that well-known medical problem of built-up sexual heat. The
temperature level of her metabolism rose so high that it ignited her male
hormones. She was warned that if she did not give up her celibate life
and re-marry she would grow a beard and she cheerfully accepted this
terrible condition of her continued fidelity to God.
Now that I think of this, I wonder if the breast cancer should be
construed as a more painful consequence of this renunciation of her
womanhood.
