"And after the Christmas tree my father told the teachers (and Emma Two Bears was interpreter): 'Your school is a good place, for it makes the Indian teeny children fairly smart, and you treat the Indian visitors fairly kind, so I shall let Dolly stay, and then Lucinda will stay, too.' Very fast Lucinda stopped being morose, for she thought before my father would not let Dolly stay till she was twelve birthdays, and Lucinda loves her so she would not stay without her.

"And the doll they hung me on the Christmas tree was giganticger than Cordelia Running Bird's, and its hairs and clothes were prettier, so I told Cordelia, 'I am your friend, and I shall give you my doll.' And she did not want to take it, but I made her. So she exclaimed, 'I am your friend, and I shall give you my doll, but it is not so nice as yours.'
