She did not mean this, but said it just in fun, and as soon as she had said it, she wondered greatly when she saw the buffalo come jumping over the edge, falling down the cliff.

Again they heard the feast shout, and he who called was the chief of the Bear society. After they had eaten and smoked the chief said, She doesn't put any g into her "charming," which, however, is neither here or there, and is perhaps a shabby thing to take notice of at all. Turning sorrowfully away, she drops some silver into the poor widow's lap; whereon Geoffrey, who has been standing close to her all the time, covers it with two sovereigns. "You may try just as hard as ever you like," she says, with dignity: "I sha'n't!".
