Father Martin who passed there in the moon of the Sun Returning, on his way to establish a mission among the People of the Coarse Hanging Hair, reported to his superior that Father Letrado was ripe for martyrdom. "It came the following Sunday, when only Ho-tai and a few old women came to mass.
'Thus, in this killing, has the secret evil of your hearts come forth, said the Padre, and 'True, He speaks true, said Ho-tai, upon which the Priests of the Hawikuhkwe were astonished. They thought their gods spoke through his madness.
She was unhappy because she saw that the dead hand of Father Letrado was still heavy on her husband's heart. "Not that Ho-tai feared what the soldiers from Santa Fe might do to the slayer, but what the god of the Padre might do to the whole people. He saw doom hanging over K'iakime, and his wife could not comfort him.
"Toward the end of two years when it began to be rumored that soldiers and new Padres were coming to K'iakime to deal with the killing of Father Letrado, Ho-tai began to sleep more quietly at night. Then his wife knew that he had made up his mind to tell, if it seemed necessary to reconcile the Spaniards to his people, and it was a knife in her heart.
And in due course they were married, and Ho-tai came to live in the house of the Chief Priest at Hawikuh, for her parents could not think of parting with her, "They were very happy," said the Condor, "for she was wisely slow as well as beautiful, and she eased him of the struggle of his two hearts, one against the other, and rested in her life as a woman."
"Finally Ho-tai of the pueblo of Matsaki heard of her, and said to his mother, 'That is the wife for me. "'Shoom! said his mother; 'what have you to offer her? for they were very poor. "'Shoom yourself! said Ho-tai. 'He that is poor in spirit as well as in appearance, is poor indeed.
