But such devout hope is wasted.,"Come in and rest," she said. Broken Bow did not understand her language, but Cold Maker, who understands all tribes, said, "We are cold. Will you let us sit by your fire?",She was dressed in a simple velvet gown the color that the twilight sky takes just before the stars come out, sapphire blue.
