The third act of the dance soon ended, and the jesters went to work once more, women and girls now became the objects of their attentions. The screams and shrieks from the roof terraces when a Koshare is tearing about amongst the women, loud as they are, are drowned by the uproarious laughter of the men, who enjoy hugely the disgust and terror of the other sex.
This, she represented, had to be attempted when the Koshare were in their greatest power, and could only be effected by means of the owl's feathers. By burying these feathers near the place where the Delight Makers used to assemble, Shotaye asserted that not only would the disease be eliminated forever, but the guilty one be punished according to the measure of his crime.
"But you are right also, nashtio yaya, when you say that it is Tzitz hanutsh who shall decide whether or not it wishes to part with some of its fields for the benefit of the Turquoise people." Both Tyope and the Koshare Naua grew very serious at these words. "We cannot compel the Water people to give up any of their soil." "No," the Shikama Chayan audibly whispered.
But everybody, on the other hand, noticed the reply given by the aged Hotshanyi, felt it like some dread warning, the foreboding of some momentous question of danger to the people. An uneasy feeling crept over many of the assistants who were not, like Tyope and the Koshare Naua, in the secrets of the case. After the departure of the caciques, therefore, the same dead silence prevailed as before.
You are only a few people, and you are lazy; whereas we are many and thrifty; you are a liar!" "Hush! hush!" sounded the voice of the principal shaman, between the shouts and screams of the disputing parties. "No! no!" shrieked Kauaitshe, "I will not hush. I will speak! I will tell these friends " "Water-mole!" yelled the tapop in response; and both the Koshare Naua and Tyope cried at once,
Do you love her well enough to be an Indian all the rest of your life, wear your hair in side-locks, enter the clan of the eagle, or the panther, become Koshare or Cuirana, dance at the feasts, forget your people, and never again be other than an Indian? If you do, speak, and she shall be your wife." Ambrosio shut his lips tightly and waited for the young man's answer.
"After we have prayed, fasted, and done penance, it ought to rain, in order that yamunyi may grow to koatshit, and koatshit ripen to yakka." In these words she artfully shrouded the true objects of the Koshare. It enhanced their importance in the eyes of the uninitiated listener by making him believe that the making of rain was also an attribute of theirs.
"The Koshare know all." Unconsciously the cave-dweller uttered these words while staring into the remnant of gleaming coals on the hearth; then she became silent. Neither could Say Koitza utter a word; only from time to time her spasmodic sobs broke the stillness of the room.
On the other hand, Okoya was very young; he might be flexible if properly handled; and in case the boy, whose father was already a Koshare and completely under Tyope's influence, could be induced to join the society of the Delight Makers, it would be a gain fully compensating for the other disadvantages of the situation.
"'They will think I set you on to threaten the Koshare because they mocked me, he said. 'Have you not done me mischief enough already? "That was when we were back in the cave, where he penned me till morning. There was no way I could tell him that there was a Dine among the Koshare."
