The Lioness only scoffed at her, and told her that the best thing she could do was to dry her tears, and try to please her; that if she acted otherwise, she would be the most miserable person in the world. “Thanks, Jerry,” Whitney said seriously. Bob happened to look around and missed Feather-in-the-Wind from the group. “You bet I have. A whole heap. Bet it’ll make your hair curl—”.

Jerry tried to answer in a light and casual manner but he made a rather bad attempt at it..
