Now they began to do their best to make life easier for the good old woman who had worked so hard to keep them from starving and freezing.

She is "cribbed, cabined, and confined," through no fault of her own, and grows listless and dispirited in her captivity. Then spoke the Bear, saying, "There are many animals and some of them are powerful; but the bear is the strongest and greatest of all. He fears nothing and is always ready to fight.".

But Violet is content. Is scorned abroad, and lives on tricks at home?" "Through the window. I was passing, and found it open." There is some note in his voice that might well be termed mocking. "I know that. If I was not utterly sure of it I should instantly commit suicide by precipitating myself under the carriage-wheels," says Geoffrey. "Still—'let us dissemble.' Now say what I told you.".
