"This palm-tree and the other designs you have not been speaking about will be enticing her," said Shoepack Sam. "But do not speak to her of going away at the time of asking her." "This is wisdom," said Rainbow Pete, and he put his lips to the flute, to be giving us a touch of music. This was a light reason for marriage, disn't it seem?
"Here, take my hand, and let me see if strength is coming back," said Shoepack. "What is a rainbow without colors?" Then the little medicine-man took his pulse, kneeling on the floor beside him. Oh, the great sailor was puzzled. Still he drank what was in the glass before him and after this he put his mustache into his mouth, sipping it by chance.
A single man, Shoepack Sam was saying, would not have to be looking at the wreck of his wife in the morning; and this is when women were caught unawares in the gill-nets time is lowering for them. "They are pale about the gills then," he said. "They are just drowned fish. They have stayed in the nets too long." "No, it's not certain," said Rainbow Pete.
"I am in charge here for the day," said Shoepack. "How is this?" said Rainbow, whispering. They went laughing on all sides of him. Oh the demons, they were cackling while he sat devouring a great moose joint, until he was close to braining them with the yellow ball of the joint. He went eating like a timber-wolf from Great Bear. "This is the palm-tree man," they sang in his ear.
"Listen to me, I have seen them in a long line, on her shelf, with many odors." So they were talking together, and Rainbow Pete was putting his fingers to the flute and staring down the valley, where Throat River was twisting like a rag. "I could have had a wife for speaking at Kicking Horse," he said. "There is one for speaking now," said Shoepack.
"She might be pleasant-looking on the pillow with her hair adrift." Then Shoepack told him that the salt water had leaked into his brains, what with his voyages. "Still, this is a beautiful cheek," said Pete, speaking low, because she was moving about beyond the boards. "These things are purchased," said Shoepack, scraping his feet together in yellow moosehides.
