The elders said to each other, "let us return to our houses because it is near time for lunch."
After they went and after the elders separated from one another, each one turned back and returned to the garden and found themselves together.

On that day, they were lying in wait and Susanna came as she was accustomed, to wash in the garden during the heat of the day. With her were her two handmaidens.
