He cornered me near his lodge and put his hands all over me. When I protested, he said he had that right. He is going to my brother today to ask that I become his woman. He says he will no longer tolerate my coldness to him."Makinna buried her own misery and took Inea's hand, wanting to help the gentle maiden she had come to care about.

"Tell me, what would happen if Santo saw you with Kachee in a pose that would make him look like a fool?" "I do not know what you mean.""Suppose you and Kachee were seen by many onlookers, including your brother, in a loving situation? What would happen?"Inea's eyes widened with horror. "Santo would kill Kachee!""Not, I think, with Tykota looking on. And not if I am there to confirm how unhappy you are about Santo. Since I am not of your tribe, I am not bound to support your laws."Inea looked hopeful but frightened. "If only we could do that."Makinna nodded with assurance.
