"Listen!" said Mīka´pi. "For days and nights I have heard your mourning, and I too have mourned. Your husband was my close friend, and now he is dead, and no relations are left to avenge him. So now I say to you, I will take the load from your hearts; I will go to war and kill enemies and take scalps, and when I return they shall be yours.

She greets them all with a solemn cordiality that impresses everybody but Mona, who is gazing dreamily into the gray eyes of her hostess and wondering vaguely if her lips have ever smiled. Her hostess in return is gazing at her, perhaps in silent admiration of her soft loveliness. "Where can Mona be?" says Doatie, suddenly. "Better not remember it," says Violet, but she smiles as she calls to mind Jack's apt quotation. "Well, then, I think it is only just you should be unhappy," says Mona, with some vehemence.
