Chief
Dare not! Simwa must hear of this, but not on his wedding day. To-morrow we will take counsel. I would I might have a word with Padahoon.
Tavwots
He is there on the barranca; I will call him. Oh—ee, Padahoon!
Padahoon
(Appearing on the barranca.) What now? (Ironically.) Can not the Arrow-Maker so much as take a wife without calling all the tribes to witness? (Coming down the barranca, noting their gravity.) What has happened? Is the Council called?
Chief
For to-morrow. In the mean time there is this. (Handing up the arrow.)
Padahoon
(Standing halfway down the bank as he examines it.) An arrow of Tecuya. Blood? Blood of Sagharawite?
