She did not know what to do when the various bells<br \/>\nwere tapped and behave, unlike others. When the first bell rang, she pulled a<br \/>\nchair and sat on it. As she saw others standing, she began to rise and looked<br \/>\nshyly around to see how chairs were used. When the second bell was sounded, she<br \/>\nhad to crawl back into her chair. She looked around when a man was speaking at<br \/>\nthe end of the hall. She dropped her eyes when she found the paleface woman<br \/>\nlooking at her.

She had got a terrible warning from<br \/>\nher friend Judewin who overheard the pale-faced woman who was discussing cutting their long heavy hairs. The author decided not to submit easily as she<br \/>\nwanted to struggle first. Her mother taught her that only the unskilled<br \/>\nwarriors had to shingle their hairs by the enemy, moreover, it was the cowards<br \/>\nwhose hairs had to be cut.
