Therefore it was nearly noon when a bend of the river showed him the dam.,"Yet I think you should have told me," she whispers, as a last fading censure. "Do you know you have made me very unhappy?",This tirade has hardly the effect upon Dorothy that might be desired. She still stands firm, utterly unshaken by the storm that has just swept over her (frail child though she is), and, except for a slight touch of indignation that is fast growing within her eyes, appears unmoved.,The woman went on and got the water, and when she came back she took the stone and gave it to her husband, telling him about the song and what the stone had said.，"Well, really, do you know, I think she did!" says Mona, so demurely that they all smile again.，"Quite right.
