"MARGARET! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME! THERE'S A BEAR IN THE HOUSE!"

"The old color photograph of the woman posing, rifle in hand, next to a log cabin with the massive dead grizzly bear stirred the imagination. What happened, when and where? And who is she?"

"She knew it wasn't Jock because she hadn't heard the team coming. And she hollered out, 'Who is it?' Nobody answered. She thought it was a hunter, probably, but nobody answered and she was spooked about that. Pretty soon she heard the noise again. Then she went over by the window. She looked out the window. She could look out the window but she couldn't really see. She was right there, being very quiet. Then she heard sniffing and so forth and knew it was a bear."
