"We," said the Raven chief, "are those who carry the raven (Măs-to-pāh´-tă-kīks). Of all the fliers, of all the birds, what one is so smart as the raven? None.

If you fail to get them, blows will not fail to follow, for these I often give, and know well how to administer." The Queen began to cry; such threats as these were anything but pleasant to her and she was in despair at the thought of the impossibility of finding flowers.

That is how the people came to possess the Worm Pipe. That pipe belongs to the band of Piegans known as the Worm People. "It is very strange," says Mona, with a dissatisfied sigh, "but I'll tell you all about it by and by." "I hardly think I follow you," says Geoffrey, in a frozen tone. "In regard to what would you wish your servants deceived?" "It was for you," she says, hanging her head. "I thought if I could do something to make you happier, you might learn to love me a little!".
