glorious freedom, the quick rushing 

 blood, the bounding motion, of the 

 wild life, the joy of the living and of 

 the doing, of the mountain and the 

 plain ; I have learned to know and feel 

 some, at least, of the secrets of the Wild 

 Ones. In short, though I am still a 

 woman and may be tender, I am a 

 Woman Tenderfoot no longer.
