When the son-in-law had come pretty close to where the buffalo lay he said to his father-in-law, "Old man, stand up and look all about you. Look carefully and well, for it will be the last time that you will ever see anything"; and while the son-in-law said this he took an arrow from his quiver.

"Do you really like it?" asks she, plainly delighted. She tells him of it, and he is deeply interested; and when she proposes to write and get him one from her native soil, he is glad as a schoolboy promised a new bat, and her conquest of Sir Nicholas is complete. "But I wish it had been any one but Mona," says Geoffrey, still agitated. "Is she by herself? Is there nobody living with her?" asks Mona, somewhat nervously..
