When the people saw the buffalo coming they led a big band of them to the piskun, but just as the leaders were about to jump over the cliff a raven came and flapped its wings in front of them and croaked, and they turned off and ran down another way. Every time a herd of buffalo was brought near to the piskun this raven frightened them away. Then Napi knew that the raven was the person who had kept the buffalo hidden. Mona, not attempting to reason with her again, shakes her head despondingly, and leaves the cabin with Geoffrey at her side. "Well, neither should I!" says Mrs. Geoffrey, with conviction.

Cocks are crowing, geese are cackling, and in the midst of all this life stands a girl with her back turned to the weary travellers. At this Geoffrey says something under his breath about Paul Rodney that he ought not to say, looking the while at Nicholas with a certain light in his blue eyes that means not only admiration but affection. "It is terrible," says Mona, with such exceeding earnestness that he could have hugged her on the spot..
