First lines
"Hai -- Yai, so bright a day, so clear! " said Mitiahwe as she entered the / big lodge and laid upon a wide, low couch, covered with soft skins, the / fur of a grizzly which had fallen to her man's rifle. "Hai-yai, I wish / it would last for ever -- so sweet! " she added, smoothing the fur / lingeringly, and showing her teeth in a smile.
"There will come a great storm, Mitiahwe. See, the birds go south so / soon," responded a deep voice from a corner by the doorway.
