The young woman took Madame Guillois's hand.
"Koutonepi's mother wishes to see her son again," she simply answered.
Unicorn's face grew brighter, and his voice softened.
"My brother's mother is welcome in Unicorn's camp," he said, as he courteously bowed to the old lady.
"Is not my son with you, chief?" she anxiously asked.
"No, but my mother can be at rest; if she desire it, she shall see him before the second sun."
"Thanks, chief."
"I will send a warrior to tell Koutonepi of his mother's presence among us."
"I will go myself," Spider said.
"Good! That is settled. My mother will enter my lodge to take the rest she needs."
