"I and my brother here have come because I want to ask you something. But if you are at work, grandfather, then we will go." "I am not working, sa uishe," said the cacique. "Speak; I listen. What is it you wish?" "Can I see the kopishtai?" Hoshkanyi whispered anxiously. The eyes of the Hotshanyi brightened. His look suddenly became clear and firm.
"No, Mitsha does not bite; but if other boys should come to see her she might perhaps strike them. But you, sa uishe," the woman moved closer to him, "you, I am sure, she will not send away. Is it not so, Mitsha? Okoya may come to see you, may he not?" The poor girl was terribly embarrassed by this more than direct question, and Okoya himself hung his head in confusion.
"Then you are better than people say." "Sh sh !" the woman cried, pointing to Shyuote, "you need not speak thus. Sa uishe," she turned to the boy, "go to rest." "I won't!" growled the disobedient child, "I want to hear what you say." "That is just what you shall not," commanded the woman. "Go out at once. Lie down on the hides."
So he stood still and turned to the shaman, saying, "Nashtio yaya, the night will soon be over, and the sun may come out from behind the mountain in the east." "Ko," grunted the medicine-man. "It is far yet to the houses of the Moshome Tehua." The Chayan stood still. "Sa uishe nashtio," said he, "the Shiuana direct us to go on a different road. I saw an owl fly toward the moon.
At last the spectator within thought that the boy's musings were of a rather long duration, and she called out, "Sa uishe, opona!" He started and looked toward the dwelling, but saw only two black points peeping through the port-hole. Again the voice spoke, Now he became conscious that Hannay was calling him into her home.
His first impulse was to run away, but that was only a passing thought; and it became clear to him that he had reached the place whither he was going, and furthermore that the women were alone. Without a word of reply he climbed the roof and nimbly down into the apartment. He was still on the ladder when Hannay repeated the invitation, "Opona, sa uishe."
Mitsha, come down and give sa uishe something to eat." A thrill went through Okoya's whole frame. She had called him sa uishe, "my child." He ventured to cast a furtive glance at the maiden. Mitsha had recovered her self-control; she returned his shy glance with an open, free, but sweet look, and said, "Come and partake of the food." There was no resisting an invitation from her.
"I will tell you, sa uishe; I will speak to you as I would to my own child." The artful flattery had its desired effect. Okoya became very attentive; he moved closer apparently to the mother, in reality, to the daughter. "You know Tyope is a Koshare, and I am Koshare too; and he is very wise, a great man among those who create delight. Now it may be that you know also what we have to do."
Deny everything you can deny, and what you have to confess lay on me. Do as I tell you, sa uishe," she insisted, as Say moved uneasily, "and trust to me for the rest." Shotaye arose, shook her wet garments, and stepped into the outer room. There she turned around once more, and repeated in a low but impressive voice,
Several more men approached from various directions; their steps were almost inaudible, and when they reached the company each invariably uttered a hoarse "guatzena, sa uishe." One by one the new-comers glided into the estufa, until six of them had entered. Then a metallic sound was heard within, as if two plates of very hard material were beaten against each other.
