Excerpt from Ongon: A Tale of Early Chicago Her maid and companion, now called Gurgling Water, and now Josie, was younger in years, Indian, and from her speech educated. Once Jean had called her pretty and roguish - the very spirit of a merry smile that had taken a fourteen-year - ply sunburn, and thence had turned up human and feminine. Then the mistress had been answered by a devotion of eyes. Savage is the delight for praise. The two were kneeling in the sands with flowers, rejoicing in a strangely fascinating task. They had formed a cross of wild prim roses, and the letters 0. A. Of violets upon a delicate framework of primrose stems. The Indian girl had enjoyed the play of trying to make her fingers move as deftly as those of her mistress, while laughingly endeavoring as well to grasp with a quick mind the mystery of words.
