To habit in. "As you have refused to explain your presence here to me, you shall remain where you now are until help arrives," says Mona, with evident determination. It was on this stream near the mountains that the Piegans were camped when Mīka´pi went to war. This was long ago. "That's me," says Mona, glancing at him archly from under her long lashes..
