The caribou were necessary. How could I remain here without bringing in food?

A ghost should not know what is happening. A ghost knows what has happened and what will happen.

Why are you drunk?

A cat can go where a young white girl cannot, of course.

Unhappy spirit, you confuse your pain. You are worried about your old ship and you consume the alcohol because you feel powerless.

*removing a pinch of sand from her medicine pouch, and then pulls a tiny piece of willowbark out and powders it into the sand, in her palm*

I cannot go among these people easily because I do not understand their tribal ways. If you want me to try and help, you can tell me what you hear.

This medicine will clear your mind and give you hope, for another turn of the sun. Perhaps by that time you will feel able to go forward and join your ancestors. If not, I will help you.

*whispers several phrases in her native tongue, then tosses the pinch of sand in the air so that the grains fall over the area where the ghost is*

*pulls the imaginary spear out of the wall and lets it drop* Go free, ghost. I will soon have words with a cat.


willowbark is the ancestor of aspirin. smiley - smiley
