	Emma Smith said of the inspired process: "After meals, or after interruptions, [Joseph] would at once begin where he had left off, without either seeing the manuscript or having any portion of it read to him."10 One who has dictated and been interrupted must usually resume by inquiring, "Now, where were we?" Not so with the Prophet!
