Amongst other Indian tribes of North America women at menstruation are forbidden to touch men's utensils, which would be so defiled by their touch that their subsequent use would be attended by certain misfortune. The Canadian Dénés believe that the very sight of a woman in this condition is dangerous to society, so that she wears a special skin bonnet to hide her from the public gaze.
This valley, or goyal, as we term it, being small for a valley, lies to the west of Linton, about a mile from the town perhaps, and away towards Ley Manor. Our homefolk always call it the Danes, or the Denes, which is no more, they tell me, than a hollow place, even as the word 'den' is.
The loneliness of the place, its distance from every habitation details to which I held no special distaste before got hideously upon my nerves at last. Supposing anything happened, in what a position did we three women stand! What chance was there of help? In my mind I surveyed the prospect from my window. The trackless Denes, the wild, unfriendly sea.

Rex turned one over critically. "Good little fish. Who is the angler?"

In the end I got out from among the houses, and arrived upon the sea-beach, where I discovered a sheltered pit among the sand hillocks, which they call denes, and there I lay down and slept off my weariness. When I awoke the sun was so far up that I judged it to be nearly nine o'clock.
As it was getting late, we settled not to go on shore until the following morning. After an early breakfast, we landed on the north side of the river, and made our way over a level sandy plain towards a tall column which rose in the midst of it. The plain is called the Denes, and extends from the mouth of the river to the town.
