“It's all right," Meg assured the Medium earnestly. "Truly it is, Mrs. Medium, and we thank you very much." "Are you sure?" the Medium asked, brightening. "Of course! It really helped me ever so much because it made me mad, and when I'm mad I don't have room to be scared.”

They hunted the world’s most dangerous game with quarter-ounce arrows, they stood off lions and dealt with strangers, all without a shred of the bravado or machismo that so characterizes the men of other societies, including ours. The Ju/wa men simply did what men do without making anything of it, and didn't even think of themselves as brave.”
