The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Betty Zane by Zane Grey: blood that keep her true. The white man changes his loves and his wives. That
is not an Indian gift."
"No, Myeerah, I did not say so. There is no other woman. It is that I am
wretched and sick at heart. Do you not see that this will end in a tragedy
some day? Can you not realize that we would be happier if you would let me go?
If you love me you would not want to see me dead. If I do not marry you they
will kill me; if I try to escape again they win kill me. Let me go free."
"I cannot! I cannot!" she cried. "You have taught me many of the ways of your
people, but you cannot change my nature."
"Why cannot you free me?"
"I love you, and I will not live without you."
