She looks at him as she says this, fearlessly, honestly, and without a suspicion of coquetry. Mona, rising, pushes Violet gently into her own chair, a little black-and-gold wicker thing, gaudily cushioned. "How pretty that is! Yet I should like you to see me, if only for once, as you have seen others," says Mona. "I saw you," said Fisher, "when you went into that lodge. Did you, when you came out of the lodge, see there in the water another lodge painted with yellow buffalo? Is it still there?".
