Quote context

- Must have been very interesting living with the Apache.

- I liked it.

- This Indian wife you have...

- Had. She's dead.

- I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bring up an unhappy memory.

- The first sound you hear of a brook curling over some rocks, with trout jumping.

- It's like when you get up in the first light, just you and her and you go out of a wickiup.
