Excerpt from In the Narrow Path
They had been married seven years. Theyhad no children. It was best so, her mother had said. Oh, her mother was a sage. Noth ing was beyond her, everything was easy, so very easy! When she relinquished her daughter - the only child - she knew that he drank; she knew that he was a bear, and like a bear, should be tamed and trained. But she had handled men - her late husband, for in stance. He was a bear too; not a big, strong and rough bear like Krag, for he had been a small, slim person of no physical power, and gentle as a lamb. Nevertheless, from her view point he was a bear, being of the masculine gender.
Then, on his wedding day, the experiment with Krag was begun. He was tamed and trained by his mother-in-law, who found this a fascinating pastime, a kind of sport difficult to leave. Her daughter for a time was a spec tator only. But the play wearied her, it dragged like some of the novels, she thought.
There was no movement, no spirit in it. So, at length she took hold of the reins; her mother, of course, still held the whip. But two drivers to a single steed are worse than none.
