    put through. I dunked my head and scrubbed desperately until at least most of the foul stench was washed away. All the while, I kept thinking of Red Elk. I wondered if he was married and if he had children of his own. I wondered why he out traveling alone and where he was coming from when he came upon me? He sure was handsome and knowing how good his hands felt in mine made me curious of him touching other areas of my body. I was shocked that I should be thinking such things when I never even thought of my own husband in such a way. I just couldn't help it. There was something about Red Elk I couldn't ignore. *** Elsie. I did not know what it meant, but the sound came off her lips like a warm breeze. It was a pleasant sound and I said it several times after she walked away. Elsie. Elsie. I found I liked saying it. It was as exotic as she herself was, and almost as beautiful. I remembered how her hand felt in mine. Being young still, and not betrothed, I had not yet laid with a woman in my life. The effect of just holding her small hand in mine was almost overwhelming to me, and I realized that this White woman, this 'Elsie', was stealing my heart. Already, I felt myself wanting to be with her at all times. So it was that I became concerned when she walked into a stand of trees and vanished from my sight.

Her skin was white as milk and the curves of her body, or what of them I could see above the water, seemed the perfect image of what a woman should be. Her golden hair was bundled up high on her head, exposing her shoulders and a hint of her breasts. I was overjoyed at seeing her so comfortable with me. Surely if she considered me a savage, would she invite me to see her in such a natural and defenseless state? To me, it seemed that she was beginning to accept that we were now together. I climbed up on a rock overlooking the river and I stripped of my skins as I prepared to join her. The water was cool and looked deep, so with a whoop of joy, I dove in not far from Elsie, hoping to surprise her and to join her in her bath. I heard her scream in surprise just as I cut through the water. The cool river enveloped my body and I quickly swam toward Elsie, hoping to make her laugh. When I broke the surface though, she swam back, as if fearing my intentions. I was shocked to see such fear in her eyes. I had only meant to share my joy, but once again, I must have misunderstood.
