"Ask any one you like,—any one, I mean, that is not quite impossible," says Nicholas. The son-in-law and his wives came home, bringing the meat, and after a little time they heard the child in the next lodge crying. The son-in-law said to his youngest wife, "Go over to your mother's and see whether that baby is a boy or a girl. If it is a boy, tell your parents to kill it." "Go to her," says Geoffrey, and Mona, slipping from his embrace, falls on her knees at his mother's feet.
