A symbol is a mark what means somethin'. Have you got that message I sent you? Well, give it here an' I'll show you. Now then, you see them two marks standin' up 'longside each other?"，Judith scanned the doors critically, her brows puckered and her head aslant."Oh, no ma'am. I gotta get right back home to Ma. She's not very well, an' she'll be needin' me."

Besides, if I just took up Dad’s business, it wouldn’t seem right somehow.”,"I do not know where he lives," said the bear. "I have travelled by many rivers and I know the mountains, yet I have not seen his lodge.
