"It come through raound closin' time and they wa'n't nobody baound that way, so I held it over." "This craze for being characteristic," observed Mr. Amber obscurely, "is the only thing that really stands in the way of Nokomis becoming a thriving metropolis. Do you agree with me? No matter."
"I don't think Doggott was any more dumfounded than I," said Amber. "I couldn't believe he'd left you, yet it seemed impossible that you should be here of all places in the neighbourhood of Nokomis, I mean. As for that " Amber shook his head expressively, glancing round the mean room in which he had found this man of such extraordinary qualities.
"And ... you forgive ?" "Forgive!" He smiled faintly. "That photograph?" "I had it ready to return to you that morning, David." "Knowing what it meant to me?" "Knowing what it meant to me what it meant to both of us, David." "So you weren't offended, that night?" "I loved you even then, David. I think I must have loved you from that first day at Nokomis. Do you remember...?"
Fleet Deer says nothing, but he is thinking of the time when his son will take part in the war dance of his tribe. Little White Cloud stands by her mother. She has known three winters and is now a chubby, pretty little Indian girl. Suddenly she begins to imitate her brother. She throws out her tiny brown arms, turns round and round, jumps and bows, while Nokomis and Good Bird shout with laughter.
In the south a shimmer of laughing gold and blue edged the faded horizon. Eagerly the young man leaned forward, dark eyes the functions of waiting-room and ticket and telegraph offices. From its eaves depended a weather-worn board bearing the legend: "Nokomis."
Peace being thus restored, Souwanas, who had been much amused by Mary's ire, resumed his story: "When Nokomis heard her grandson describe how he was going to let the monster swallow him she resolved to come and pitch her tent on the seashore, among the people who had been so troubled, and there to await the return of her grandson, if he should ever come back from such a perilous adventure.
Advancing and retreating, turning and twisting, bowing and whirling, they imitate the moving lights about them and above them. In front of the lodges sit the warriors and the squaws looking on. Good Bird is watching every move of her son. He is one of the most active dancers on the field. "Look, Nokomis!" she says, "No boy is straighter than your grandson, and there is no better dancer."
At last a spark flew from the dry wood and the grass was lighted. Meat and birds' eggs were soon roasted in the hot ashes. After the meal Nokomis and White Cloud started for home, each with a bundle of wood strapped to her back. "Now I'm ready for the story you promised me," said White Cloud. "Far in the east, above the sky, the great Thunderer lives with his two sons.
Now we will use some of our dry wood and make a fire." "Can I learn to get the fire out of wood?" asked White Cloud. "You will need to try again and again, for it is not an easy task. Watch me, my child, and see how it is done." Nokomis soon had a pile of dry grass and twigs. Then she rubbed two pieces of wood together for a long time.
"Thank you ever so much," said the grateful Minnehaha, as she rose to have loving hands carefully wrap her up for the return ride, "for that sweet, sweet story. It was so good of Nanahboozhoo to tell them about the sap in the maple trees, even if it is only there in the spring time." "I think old Nokomis deserves a good deal of the credit," said Sagastao.
