"If there are any," says Geoffrey, with a twinkle in his eye. "Yes. One can understand that," replies she, gravely, not heeding the closeness of his regard. "Many things affect me curiously," she goes on, dreamily,—"sad pictures and poetry and the sound of sweet music." "Come with me. You may kill two grizzly bears," said Cold Maker.
