         Am I in some kind of zone where time has stopped?  How long have I been sitting here while the hands on the clock haven’t moved?  The suspense is unbelievable. 

          I want to know. I want to know!  I need to know.  So much depends on this! Nothing has ever been so important to me.  And I wait. 

         And wait and wait.  I will the clock to move faster. 

         At last it is done! The test is over.  Time to look, time to know!

Oh, it is!  It is!  It is really happening.  I want to sing, I want to dance, and laugh and cry and I need to get my feet back down on the floor.

         The door opens and he comes in looking tousled and sleepy.  I must have woken him when I cried out with joy.

         I show him the little wand with the two lines clearly showing.  His face lights with a smile and we hold each other rejoicing.
