Hannay improved the opportunity to still further praise her child. She said, "Mitsha does not only know how to paint; she can also shape the uashtanyi, the atash, and the asa." With this she rose, went to the wall, and began to rummage about in some recess. Okoya had meanwhile taken one of the girl's hands in his playing with her dainty fingers which she suffered him to do.
It was long after midnight when that husband returned to the roof of his wife, and Hannay was already fast asleep. Okoya had gone long before Hannay thought of returning. He went home happy, and satisfied that Mitsha henceforth belonged to him.
Hayoue and his sister-in-law looked at each other in mute admiration at this speech, which to them appeared so wise, so thoroughly appropriate. Topanashka went on, "You have told me that Mitsha is the child of Tyope. That, it is true, is not good. But if Okoya is strong and if Mitsha is true to him what can Tyope do?
The Chayani of lesser rank alone returned from time to time to perform specially strong incantations in aid of the still travelling soul. Mitsha had gone down to the brook to get water. It occurred only once a day during these days, for the people of Tyame fasted, taking but one frugal meal daily.
"Tell me, but tell me the truth; did Hayoue say it was well for you to go with Mitsha?" Okoya was so embarrassed by this direct query that he could not answer at once. He stood still and hung his head. "Tell me, child," Say insisted. "He said" the words were scarcely audible "that it was well." "Did he also say it was good for you to listen to the words of Tyope and his woman?"
If it is accompanied by a present it bears the character of an official acceptance of courtship. That step Mitsha was afraid as yet to take; it was too early; there were too many contingencies in the way. Still she longed to go to Say Koitza now. But visits of condolence are not in vogue among Indians as long as there is loud mourning, except at the house where the mourning is going on.
Hayoue goes to every one; he is like a fly, he sits down everywhere and stops nowhere." Okoya enjoyed hugely his mother's joke. The latter with some hesitancy continued, "Does he also visit Mitsha Koitza?" Okoya bent down to avoid her glance, then he resolutely replied, "No." "Are you sure of it?" "I am sure." He cast a furtive glance at his mother. "Did Mitsha tell you?"
If I were to do that, you would rob me of my handsome maiden and that would be the last of it. No, Dinne, I do not need you to such an extent, I am not obliged to have you. But if you go to the Tyuonyi and accuse the witch, then you shall go out free, and Mitsha must follow you to the hogans of your people, whether she will or not. Do what I tell you, and I will do as I promise.
"She certainly will not bite you," the mother answered, causing the maiden to turn her face away. "Does she bite others?" Okoya asked. Again Hannay laughed aloud, and from the corner whither Mitsha had retreated there sounded something like a suppressed laugh also. It amused her to think that she might bite people. Her mother, however, explained,
He noticed that the two returned his compliments without reserve, whereas Mitsha stood in silence leaning against the house-wall. One single look, one earnest almost sad glance, she sent after the disappearing form of Shyuote's elder brother. The main building was now close at hand. It was an irregular pentagon, and at places two, at others three stories high.
