The attic surprised Sarah by being clean and recently dusted, which probably meant it had already been searched. But having given Dawn her word, she began her quest for the will the very next afternoon.

Full of broken furniture, worn mattresses, and old trunks, the attic felt hot and stuffy, but Sarah searched every piece of

furniture, fingered every mattress lump, and rummaged through all the clothing in every trunk.

The clothes, she noted, must have been her grandmother's—they were of that era. They intrigued her. In a spotted mirror atop an old dresser, she held dress after dress up to herself, posing prettily for each.

As she picked up a blue silk, something rolled out of the bodice, thumping to the floor. Sarah stooped to retrieve it. Just an old book! She cast it aside. Modeling dresses until the light began to fade, she decided to conclude her search for the day. Prepared to leave, she spotted the old book, shrugged, and then pocketed it. One never knew when a good book might come in handy.

Over the dinner table Dawn and Sarah shared secret looks, for they were conspirators. They had something else in common—they both loved Storm and plotted against him for his own good.

Sarah wondered if it was God's Spirit within her that changed her outlook. Despite her problems, she felt happy and often found herself humming and whistling. She found herself full of love for everyone, including Little Bird.

Sarah smiled often at Little Bird, offering to do things for her, but no matter how well meaning Sarah's gestures were, they only served to further infuriate the Indian girl.

After Sarah had been at the ranch a week, Storm announced it was high time she made an inspection of her ranch.

"The crew is disappointed that you haven't come to inspect their work. For days they've been excited and buzzing like bees, seeing that everything is perfect."

"I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me?" Sarah asked.

He smiled lazily, "I just did."

Later, on horseback, Sarah and Storm approached the far side of the stable, where a large fenced area was attached to the barn. Broken Wing greeted them with a wave. "I breaking Black; you watch?"

After dismounting, Storm plucked Sarah from her horse and placed her on the fencepost. Standing close beside her, he rested his elbows on the fence.

From the barn, Broken Wing led out a frisky, oversized, ebony stallion. The horse's shiny skin rippled with excitement as it pranced in place, scuffing the ground and whinnying furiously with wide, flaring nostrils.

"Oh, Storm, he's not going to try riding him, is he?"

"Not yet. Watch."

Broken Wing walked the horse around the pen several times, talking softly. When he tried to stroke Black's mane, the horse shook convulsively, bucking and snorting wildly at his touch.

They sat for almost an hour, watching Broken Wing's advances being thwarted by Black before he finally tolerated the Indian's gentle touch.

"Broken Wing, I'm impressed," praised Sarah.

Broken Wing smiled with pride. "Riding him next step. Will try in few days."

Broken Wing had been filled with pleasure at the few words of praise from her.
