While she thus mourned from the bottom of her heart, the thought came to her how she would feel in case her father was brought home in the same way. Mitsha was a good child, and Tyope had always treated her not only with affection but with kindness.
She was overjoyed at seeing the two become more familiar. Okoya returned to his former position, placing the vessel on the floor with tender care; and Mitsha resumed her sitting posture, only she sat much nearer the boy than before. He still examined the bowl with wonder. "Who taught you to make such nice things?" he asked at last. "An old woman from Mokatsh.
He pitied the maiden for having such a mother. As Mitsha gave no answer, Hannay repeated, "No," breathed the poor creature thus sorely pressed. A thrill went through the frame of Okoya; he looked up, and his eyes beamed in the reflex of the fire. The woman had watched him with the closest attention, and nothing escaped her notice. Her eyes also sparkled with pleasure, for she felt sure of him.
You are right, makatza; on the mesa we suffered much; there the Moshome did us a great deal of harm. If it had not been for you we should not be here." "For me?" Mitsha asked in surprise. "Yes, you. You saved me, saved the yaya, saved Shyuote from the fierce shuatyam! Yes, surely," he continued as the girl shook her head incredulously.
Even though she lacked evening toilette, Mitsha presented a handsome picture; and her friend became absorbed in contemplation of the lithe, graceful form.
He stood like a statue, and yet his chest heaved. He cast his eyes to the ground. Mitsha had turned her face away; her whole body was trembling like a leaf. Her mother persisted. "Take him down into the room and feed him," she repeated, and smiled. "I have nothing," murmured Mitsha. "If such is the case I shall go and see myself."
Still we miss among that little band of Queres fugitives those with whom we have become more closely acquainted. In vain we look for Say Koitza, for Mitsha, for Okoya. Can it be true, as Hayoue surmised, that his bosom friend, Zashue's eldest son, is dead? The throwing about of fruit has ceased; the dance is resumed, and new figures may appear.
"Sa uishe, has your father come?" "No," murmured the still dreaming child. "Where is Okoya?" "He has left." "Will he come again?" "Oh, yes," breathed Mitsha softly; then she turned over, sighed, and spoke no more. Hannay was happy. The boy would return! That was all she cared for. She really liked him, for he was so candid, so good, and so simple-minded.
Okoya was in his father's plot, sitting comfortably among the corn; but it was not the plantation that occupied his thoughts, they were with Mitsha; and he pondered over what she had told him the night before, and how he might succeed in making her his beyond cavil. Looking up accidentally he discerned the form of his uncle coming toward him, and his face brightened.
It was easy to recognize them as those of Mitsha, who was soundly, peacefully asleep. Hannay, as soon as she reached the floor of the apartment, called out, "Sa uishe!" No reply. "Sa uishe!" No answer. She groped about in the dark until her hands touched the sleeping form. She pulled the girl's dress and shook her by the arm until she sighed and moved, and then asked,
