"Why does he come? I don't like him. He has a bad breath." Next morning Norwan rose and began to dance. "My sister," said Hessiha, that evening, "I hear that a man is coming from Chanahl Puyuk, a good man. His name is Kaukau Herit. He is coming to see you." "Why does he come here?" asked Norwan. "His neck is too long, his legs are too long." "Well, my sister, I have heard that a man who lives far away west is coming to see you, Kobalus Herit. He is a good man. He lives at Nomken Kobalus Waimemton." "That man has a crooked nose," said Norwan, "and a crooked mouth. I don't like him, he is all twisted." Next evening Hessiha said,-- "There is a man who lives at the same place as Kobalus Herit. He wants to see you. His name is Tsanteris Herit." "That man has a hollow breast," said Norwan. "I don't like him." "A man from the far north is coming, Keli Herit." "I don't like him," said Norwan; "he has a bad odor. He smells like the earth." "A man from way down south, Bisus Herit, is coming to see you." "Oh, I don't like him; his legs are too short; he eats bony fish." "My sister, a man is coming who lives a short distance south of us, Tede Wiu Herit." "I don't like him; he has too much breast; it sticks out too much." "My sister, Katsi Herit is coming." "I know him," said Norwan. "He is too quick-tempered: he gets angry too easily." "Chati Wai Halina Herit is coming to see you." "I don't like him; he smells of pitch always. "I must go now for wood; we have no wood this evening," said Norwan, and she went out to bring some. She brought an armful, and while going to the same place for a second bundle she heard some one coming. A man took her by the arm. She turned, and saw Sedit of Sonomyai dressed beautifully. She pushed him away and ran home. Sedit did not follow her. Next morning early she went out, and looking at one side of the door saw two stones lying there, and a hooked stick four or five feet long, called lakus, used to pull a limb of a tree toward you. She broke the stones to pieces, broke the stick, threw the pieces in the fire, and burned them. She knew that some man had put them there and intended to come. That night she was lying on the south side of the sweat-house and her brother on the north. It was dark, and they heard some one coming toward the house. The stranger came in, sat down behind Hessiha, sat with his head between his hands; his hair was sticking out, and looked as though it had never been combed. Norwan looked at this person, never took her eyes from him, but said not a word, and he said nothing. After a while he stood up and walked out. While going he threw something toward Norwan. It fell near her, and she picked it up. It was a small net bag half full of mice. She threw it after the stranger. He was Chati Wai Halina. When morning came, Norwan took a bundle of brush, went to where the visitor had sat, swept the place clean, and threw fresh earth on it.
