She couldn't make the bank if she wanted to. She's got to run 'em. Holy smoke, see her wavin' the paddle at Tekewani! Osterhaut, she's the limit, that petticoat so quiet and shy and don't-look-at-me, too, with eyes like brown diamonds." "Oh, get out, Jowett; she's all right!
It cleared as the face of the sun clears when a cloud drives past and is gone. The transformation was startling. Without further glance at his companion, he moved swiftly towards the house. Once more Fleda's voice called, and before he could answer they were face to face. She stood radiant and elate, and seemed not apprehensive of disfavour or reproach. Behind her was Tekewani and his braves.
A hedgehog crossed the path here, and it brought those days back to me Charley Long and Aunt Cynthy and all. Yes, the first time I ever ate hedgehog; was in Aunt Cynthy's house. Hi-yi, as old Tekewani says, but it was good!" "What is the Romany word for hedgehog?" Fleda asked in a low tone. "Hotchewitchi," he replied instantly. "That's right, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's singing," she answered. "Who is it some of the heathen from the Reservation?" "Yes, some of the heathen," she answered. "Has Tekewani got a lodge about here?" "He had one here in the old days." "And his people go to it still-was that where you were going when I broke in on you?" "Yes, I was going there. I am a heathen, also, you know."
"I fainted, but I was not to die it was not my time." He shook his head gloomily. "Once it may be, but the evil spirits tempt us to death. It matters not what comes to Tekewani; he is as the leaf that falls from the stem; but for Summer Song that has far to go, it is the madness from beyond the Hills of Life." She took his hand. "I will not do it again, Tekewani."

What was it made the difference between the two? It was the world in a man personality, knowledge of life, the culture of the thousand things which make up civilization: it was personality got from life and power in contest with the ordered world. Yet was this so after all? Tekewani was only an Indian brave who lived on the bounty of a government, and yet he had presence and an air of command.
Tekewani had been a nomad; he had not been bound to one place, settled in one city, held subservient to one flag. But, no, she was wrong: Tekewani had been the servant and child of a system which was as fixed and historical as that of Russia or Spain.
No one hears it but the great. The whisper only is for this one here and that one there who is of the Few. It whispers, and the whisper must be obeyed. So it was from the beginning." "Yes, you understand, Tekewani," she answered softly. "I did it because something whispered from the Other Earth to me." Her head drooped a little, her eyes had a sudden shadow.
