Simwa

There are two or three things to the making of fighting men, Tavwots, beside the blessing of women.

Tavwots

Two or three things, Simwa, that I think you have not: honor to win advantage and wit to keep what you have got.

Padahoon

As for me, I am with Tavwots; but (he looks at Simwa)—the gods have no favors for unbelievers.

Tavwots

Nor have we, by the Bear!

Indians

(Springing up.) Nor have we! No; by the Bear! Out with him! (They hustle Simwa. One snatches off the war-bonnet, another the collar of bears' claws. Even the women strike dust upon him with their feet in an excess of contempt.)
