Priscilla was amazed at what she’d learned about Mitch and his family. She assumed he had some Indian in him but didn’t know he was half Crow. She also had no idea he could speak French. It had been a dirty trick for him to keep that from her. But then, her assumptions had been shattered more than a few times since she’d arrived. Ian was, by far, the brightest student in her class. Mitch was a smart man, dedicated to the town and his son.

But he still should have told her he knew French.

At Priscilla’s suggestion, once they were all seated, they joined hands and thanked the Lord for the food, their health, and the company at the table. Soon platters and bowls were passed around until everyone’s plate was overflowing.

“Two Moons. Is that the name you go by in your Ranger duties?” Priscilla asked.

“No. I thought that might a bit hard for the Rangers to swallow. I go by T. M. and borrowed Mitch’s last name, so to the Rangers I’m T. M. Beaumont.”

“And where does Two Moons come from?”

“I was born in a month that had two moons. I’m afraid my parents weren’t very inventive.”

“Every summer Uncle comes to Dogtown and takes me to the reservation where his family lives,” Ian said between swallows. “I stay there for a few weeks. That’s how I learned Crow.”

“I think that’s a wonderful idea.” She turned to Two Moons. “I would love to meet your family.”

“You would?” Mitch said, his eyebrows raised.

Two Moons grinned and winked at him, something passing between the two men that she didn’t understand. “Yes. I think visiting a reservation and living there for a while is a wonderful learning experience.” She looked at Ian. “I suggest when you go this summer you keep a journal and share it with the class when school starts up again in the fall.”

“See, Pa. I told you Miss Cochran wasn’t going anywhere.”

Awkward silence fell at the table, both Mitch and Priscilla very interested in their food.

“Sounds to me like she’s heading off to the reservation come summer. What do you say Mitch?”

He snorted and continued to eat, despite the hardy laugh coming from Two Moons.
