Zinnia is not a cheetah like Fate, but she isn’t a quitter either. She made a valiant effort to keep up with Fate circling the sheep, she waited until Fate was tired, and her tongue was hanging down to the ground, and then made a valiant charge.

She did it, at least for a second or two. She kept up with Fate. She was immensely pleased with herself. She is snoring at my feet as I write thig.
