"While you still lived? While I might be of some use to you? No!" says Mona, her eyes gleaming. "To myself I said, there will be time enough for that later on." Then, with a little dry sob, "There will be time to die later on." "Go back once more," said the young man, "and tell Three Bulls to send me that young woman." "It was a feeble effort," declares he, contemptuously striking with his cane the trunks of the trees as he goes by them..
