"Do not fear," said Red Robe, "do not fear, my mother, his anger and his power are no longer to be feared. He is as feeble and as helpless as one of those old bulls one sees on the sunny side of the coulée, spending his last days before the wolves pull him down." "It is true," says Violet, evenly. "Yet, dear Mona, I wish you could try to be a little more like the rest of the world." At the mention of the word "secret" every one grows very much alive at once.
