"Bloketu, the maiden, begs her mistress not to switch her," sobbed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 139 |
"Bloketu, your maiden, begs mercy of her Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 734 |
Iwoso, doubtless, in secret, had lovingly prepared that collar for Bloketu when she was Bloketu's maiden. |
10 |
| 2 | 325 |
"You, too, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka, looking up at the mounted girl. |
10 |
| 2 | 329 |
Bloketu is the daughter of Watonka". |
10 |
| 2 | 341 |
The expression 'Bloketu', incidentally, the name of the girl on the kaiila, the daughter of the Isanna chieftain, Watonka, means "Summer" or "Summertime". |
10 |
| 2 | 343 |
"I do not know her," said Bloketu, not deigning to look upon Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 2 | 357 |
"You see," said Bloketu, from the height of the saddle, "you are not remembered". |
10 |
| 2 | 391 |
"Perhaps you will come sew with us sometime," said Bloketu, lofty and beautiful on the kaiila, to Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 2 | 393 |
"Is she not pretty, Iwoso?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 2 | 395 |
"I wonder if she is the sort of woman who must please warriors," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 2 | 397 |
I saw that he would not have minded teaching the lofty Bloketu something about the pleasing of men. |
10 |
| 2 | 409 |
"How often does such a meeting take place? Who would wish to miss it? Too, I wanted to see the white slaves, and Bloketu and Iwoso". |
10 |
| 2 | 414 |
"What of Bloketu and Iwoso?" I asked. |
10 |
| 3 | 9 |
Even the daughters of chieftains, such as Bloketu, the daughter of Watonka, might have envied her the sumptuousness and glory of her raiment. |
10 |
| 5 | 117 |
* * * * "My, there is a pretty girl," said Bloketu, the daughter of Watonka, the chief of the Isanna Kaiila. |
10 |
| 5 | 119 |
"Greetings, Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 121 |
"You have cut a great deal of meat," said Bloketu, honestly observing this. |
10 |
| 5 | 123 |
I noted that both Bloketu and Iwoso were suitably impressed with this. |
10 |
| 5 | 125 |
"One," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 128 |
Bloketu was a beauty, and the daughter of a chieftain. |
10 |
| 5 | 129 |
"Iwoso is slow," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 131 |
"It is you who are lazy and slow, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 5 | 134 |
"Oh!" cried Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 137 |
"At least you think I am beautiful," said Bloketu, somewhat mollified. |
10 |
| 5 | 144 |
"Oh!" said Bloketu, angrily. |
10 |
| 5 | 148 |
"Come, Iwoso, my dear maiden," said Bloketu, "let us go. |
10 |
| 5 | 150 |
"You might make an excellent slave, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 5 | 155 |
"Oh, oh!" said Bloketu, speechless with rage. |
10 |
| 5 | 161 |
"I have been insulted, Hci," said Bloketu, complaining to the young man. |
10 |
| 5 | 164 |
"Her!" said Bloketu, returning to the tribally prescribed feminine gender for Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 5 | 166 |
"She said that I was lazy and slow!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 170 |
"Too, he said that I might make an excellent slave, and that it might be pleasant to put me in a collar!" Hci looked Bloketu over, slowly. |
10 |
| 5 | 175 |
"She should not be wearing leggings," he said to Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 178 |
"She is only my maiden," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 180 |
"I do not put her in one," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 191 |
Hci then again turned his attention to Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 192 |
"Punish him," said Bloketu, pointing to Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 5 | 194 |
"Her!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 5 | 197 |
"Oh," cried Bloketu, angrily. |
10 |
| 5 | 208 |
"That is not good meat, or good hide," said Bloketu, puzzled. |
10 |
| 5 | 209 |
"Attend to it, Bloketu," said Hci. |
10 |
| 5 | 211 |
The two women, then, Bloketu and Iwoso, the travois poles marking the grass behind their kaiila, took their way away. |
10 |
| 6 | 102 |
We knew that these words of Hci, to that extent, could be sworn to by Bloketu and Iwoso. |
10 |
| 7 | 1 |
Bloketu and Iwoso Come Visiting "He beat me," wailed Winyela, running up to me. |
10 |
| 7 | 528 |
"Bloketu and Iwoso are in the vicinity," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 532 |
"How is it that Bloketu hates you so?" I asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 539 |
Bloketu, on the other hand, seemed to take a malicious and peculiar delight in doing so. |
10 |
| 7 | 540 |
"I had a dream last night about Bloketu," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 7 | 547 |
"Oh, Iwoso," called out Bloketu, coming up, "here is that pretty girl we met on the prairie, you know, the one in the white-woman's dress". |
10 |
| 7 | 551 |
"But she was such a naughty girl," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 554 |
"What is her name? It is Cuwignaka, is it not?" laughed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 556 |
"Ah, Cuwignaka," said Bloketu, "you are fortunate that you are not the woman of a Kaiila warrior. |
10 |
| 7 | 559 |
"It is he again," whispered Iwoso to Bloketu, looking behind her. |
10 |
| 7 | 560 |
"Oh?" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 564 |
"Are you following us about?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 566 |
"I have heard that rumor," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 569 |
"If you wish to court Iwoso," said Bloketu, "you may come to the lodge tonight and sit outside, cross-legged, playing the love flute. |
10 |
| 7 | 572 |
"It is not necessary to follow Iwoso about like a panting sleen," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 576 |
"That you are a Sleen Soldier does not permit you to speak so!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 581 |
What did you do?" "Nothing," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 583 |
"You are an expert tracker," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 591 |
"They were Isanna hunters," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 593 |
"Oh," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 595 |
"They were Wismahi," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 598 |
"You cannot know that," said Bloketu, angrily. |
10 |
| 7 | 602 |
Bloketu looked about. |
10 |
| 7 | 621 |
"You may not know of this, Hci," said Bloketu, "but Mahpiyasapa and the other chieftains know of it. |
10 |
| 7 | 628 |
"Why?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 631 |
"There is more to life than collecting coups," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 638 |
"Do not be afraid, Hci," laughed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 656 |
"It is all right, Hci," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 659 |
"There is to be a council on the matter," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 666 |
"Oh," laughed Bloketu, light-heartedly, as if desiring to shift the locus of discourse, "I see you were not really spying on us, at all, Hci. |
10 |
| 7 | 669 |
"I know you find Iwoso attractive," said Bloketu, laughing. |
10 |
| 7 | 672 |
"She has been with the Kaiila since the age of twelve," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 677 |
"Perhaps, Iwoso," said Bloketu, "I will let Hci court you". |
10 |
| 7 | 682 |
"Then I shall decide," said Bloketu to Iwoso, "whether or not you shall accept him". |
10 |
| 7 | 684 |
"Do you dispute me, my maiden?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 687 |
"You men would like us all to be your helpless slaves," said Bloketu, angrily. |
10 |
| 7 | 688 |
I saw Cuwignaka looking at Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 691 |
"Do you want Iwoso?" asked Bloketu, angrily, of Hci. |
10 |
| 7 | 696 |
"Do you want her?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 698 |
"You are speaking of my maiden," said Bloketu, scandalized. |
10 |
| 7 | 700 |
"Bloketu!" protested Iwoso. |
10 |
| 7 | 701 |
"If you want her," said Bloketu, angrily, "you must court her properly". |
10 |
| 7 | 705 |
"What an arrogant young man," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 707 |
"I might let him court you," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 709 |
"Then," said Bloketu, smiling, "I might let you spurn him. |
10 |
| 7 | 714 |
"Why?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 717 |
"He would not dare," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 719 |
"Have no fear," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 722 |
"I will do what I want," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 723 |
"Yes, Bloketu," said Iwoso. |
10 |
| 7 | 724 |
"You are afraid of him, are you not?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 727 |
"Interesting," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 731 |
"Slaves are so fearful," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 733 |
"Perhaps," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 736 |
At any rate, I did not think that the lovely Bloketu, if she were to find herself truly enslaved, would experience any difficulty in learning fear. |
10 |
| 7 | 742 |
"I will do what I want," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 744 |
"We will see what mood I am in at the time," said Bloketu, loftily. |
10 |
| 7 | 746 |
"We will see how I feel at the time," said Bloketu, "whether Hci is nice or not, whether or not I am pleased with you. |
10 |
| 7 | 749 |
"Do not anger me, maiden," said Bloketu, "or I may send you to him for the night, without your clothes and tied, maybe with a quirt tied around your neck, like you were a white female slave!" Iwoso was immediately silent. |
10 |
| 7 | 750 |
"That is better, my maiden," smiled Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 753 |
I did not understand Bloketu's remark about Iwoso not yet being important. |
10 |
| 7 | 756 |
"Are you obedient, my maiden?" asked Bloketu of Iwoso, sweetly. |
10 |
| 7 | 758 |
This was the first time I had ever heard Iwoso use this word to Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 763 |
"It does not matter," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 766 |
"Such matters are not the proper concern of one who is only a pretty young girl like yourself," laughed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 768 |
"Then you admit that you are a mere female," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 770 |
"Listen to the pretty young thing!" laughed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 772 |
"You lost meat!" laughed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 776 |
"Maybe," smiled Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 780 |
"Perhaps," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 782 |
"Perhaps," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 785 |
"Yes," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 790 |
Bloketu seemed relieved. |
10 |
| 7 | 801 |
"But did we not come here to visit with this pretty girl?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 804 |
"We will tarry a moment," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 808 |
"She seems very diligent," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 810 |
"What are you doing, pretty girl?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 813 |
"Saucy girl," chided Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 815 |
"You are very famous," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 823 |
"But what they probably do not know," said Bloketu, "is how pretty you are, and what a marvelous worker you are". |
10 |
| 7 | 826 |
"It is too bad you lost all that meat," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 833 |
"All in all, I think you would be a very valuable girl to have in a lodge, Cuwignaka," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 838 |
"Can you cook, and sew?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 841 |
"The young men will not mind," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 846 |
"Be quiet," snapped Bloketu to Iwoso. |
10 |
| 7 | 848 |
"What do you mean by that?" asked Bloketu, angrily, of Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 7 | 849 |
"It is well known among the Kaiila," said Cuwignaka, kneeling back on his heels, putting aside the bone scraper and looking up at Bloketu, "that you are not good for much". |
10 |
| 7 | 850 |
"Oh?" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 853 |
"The young men do not seem to mind," said Bloketu, collecting herself, loftily. |
10 |
| 7 | 855 |
"No," said Bloketu, angrily. |
10 |
| 7 | 860 |
"No!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 862 |
"No!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 864 |
"No!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 868 |
I saw, too, in so simple an exchange, that Cuwignaka was intellectually dominant over Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 869 |
"Everyone tells me I am beautiful," said Bloketu, angrily. |
10 |
| 7 | 871 |
"In a way," said Bloketu, warily. |
10 |
| 7 | 889 |
He went to stand before Bloketu. |
10 |
| 7 | 893 |
"Yes, Bloketu," he said. |
10 |
| 7 | 904 |
"I desire you, Bloketu," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 7 | 915 |
"Who do you think is the most beautiful, Iwoso or Bloketu?" he asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 916 |
"Bloketu," I said. |
10 |
| 7 | 918 |
"I was somewhat disturbed by portions of the conversation between you, and Bloketu and Iwoso," I said, "in particular, the business about the enlargement of Watonka's importance". |
10 |
| 7 | 920 |
"I am afraid," he said, "that Bloketu and Iwoso were not entirely candid with us about that matter". |
10 |
| 7 | 933 |
"Thus," said Cuwignaka, "Bloketu would be important, being the daughter of such a man, and even Iwoso, only a slave, would become celebrated amongst several tribes, serving as a maiden in so rich a household". |
10 |
| 7 | 935 |
"It is easy to see why Bloketu and Iwoso might have been hesitant to speak of this aspect of the matter," I said, "seeing what profits might accrue to them". |
10 |
| 7 | 984 |
"Bloketu is insufficiently disciplined, for example?" I asked. |
10 |
| 7 | 985 |
"Yes," said Cuwignaka, "Bloketu is insufficiently disciplined. |
10 |
| 7 | 986 |
Bloketu needs discipline, severe discipline". |
10 |
| 7 | 990 |
Fortunately for the lovely Bloketu she stood high among the Kaiila. |
10 |
| 11 | 55 |
"Well, my friend, put the dream of Bloketu from your mind. |
10 |
| 18 | 301 |
Near the men, a bit to one side, were Bloketu and Iwoso. |
10 |
| 18 | 302 |
Bloketu, too, seemed ill at ease. |
10 |
| 18 | 307 |
I did not know if Bloketu would be permitted into the council or not. |
10 |
| 18 | 319 |
"Bloketu," I said, going to her. |
10 |
| 18 | 330 |
"You may speak before my maiden," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 18 | 341 |
"This slave is an amusing fool," laughed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 18 | 347 |
"You could not know such a thing," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 18 | 351 |
"She is obviously mistaken," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 19 | 54 |
"I would rather," I said, ruefully, "have told it to someone else, and, actually, it was to Bloketu that I told it. |
10 |
| 19 | 85 |
"What was Bloketu's reaction?" he asked. |
10 |
| 19 | 174 |
"He, and his entire party, including Iwoso and Bloketu, wore yellow scarves, or sashes, about their bodies," I said. |
10 |
| 19 | 181 |
"Do you recall, Tatankasa," asked Cuwignaka, "some days ago, when we spoke with Bloketu and Iwoso outside our lodge. |
10 |
| 19 | 185 |
"From this we conjectured that Watonka, and Bloketu, too, would then be even more important". |
10 |
| 25 | 101 |
"What of Bloketu?" asked Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 25 | 103 |
"Yes, Bloketu, the traitress," said Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 28 | 223 |
It was in this way that Watonka, the Yellow-Knife war chiefs, Bloketu, Iwoso and others had been identified as personages not to be fired upon by the Kinyanpi. |
10 |
| 32 | 176 |
"I did not know that Bloketu was so beautiful," I said. |
10 |
| 32 | 186 |
"Perhaps you can manage to take your eyes off Bloketu". |
10 |
| 43 | 1 |
What Occurred When We Visited a Yellow-Knife Camp "You must make swifter progress in learning Yellow Knife," said Iwoso to Bloketu, in Kaiila. |
10 |
| 43 | 2 |
"It is hard for me," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 3 |
The two girls knelt, Bloketu behind Iwoso. |
10 |
| 43 | 4 |
Bloketu was combing Iwoso's hair. |
10 |
| 43 | 10 |
"You were captured as a child," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 13 |
"No, Mistress," said Bloketu, quickly. |
10 |
| 43 | 15 |
"Please do not do so, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 22 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 24 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 25 |
There was a yellow, beaded collar about Bloketu's reddish-brown neck. |
10 |
| 43 | 30 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 33 |
Forgive me, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 37 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 38 |
Bloketu wore an unfringed, unornamented shirtdress. |
10 |
| 43 | 44 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 46 |
"I was the daughter of a chief!" cried Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 48 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu, sobbing. |
10 |
| 43 | 50 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 52 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 54 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 56 |
"I do not know," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 58 |
"Please, Mistress," moaned Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 60 |
"No, you are not too kind," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 62 |
"No, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 64 |
"No, Mistress!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 66 |
"Yes, yes!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 68 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 70 |
"Yes, Mistress, you are too kind!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 72 |
"No, Mistress," wept Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 75 |
Bloketu sobbed. |
10 |
| 43 | 78 |
Thank you, Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 81 |
"Please, no, Mistress," begged Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 85 |
"You tricked me!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 87 |
"No, Mistress," sobbed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 90 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 92 |
"What, Mistress?" asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 94 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu, frightened. |
10 |
| 43 | 96 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 98 |
"I have heard that," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 100 |
"Of course, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 102 |
"I do not know, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 104 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 108 |
Bloketu trembled. |
10 |
| 43 | 113 |
"Of interest, Mistress?" asked Bloketu, frightened. |
10 |
| 43 | 115 |
"Perhaps, Mistress," said Bloketu, frightened. |
10 |
| 43 | 123 |
"Yes, Mistress," moaned Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 125 |
"Please, no, Mistress," begged Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 127 |
"Please, no, no, Mistress!" begged Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 130 |
"Yes, Mistress," sobbed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 135 |
"Do not give me for judgment to my people," begged Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 137 |
"Yes! Yes!" said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 143 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 145 |
"Yes, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 154 |
We then, with thongs, Cuwignaka working with Bloketu and Hci with Iwoso, tied each girl's hands together before her body. |
10 |
| 43 | 155 |
Cuwignaka then removed the pieces of hide, tied on with strings, which had served Bloketu as a substitute for moccasins, from her feet. |
10 |
| 43 | 158 |
Cuwignaka then, with another thong, tied together Bloketu's ankles and Hci, working swiftly, served Iwoso in the same fashion. |
10 |
| 43 | 160 |
Only the collar was left on Bloketu's neck, Iwoso's collar. |
10 |
| 43 | 186 |
Bloketu made piteous, tiny noises, trying to attract the attention of Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 43 | 220 |
Their fears were not allayed in the least when I, having fetched a stout rawhide rope, crouched down next to them and tied one end of this rope about the handles of Bloketu's sack and the other end about the handles of Iwoso's sack. |
10 |
| 43 | 271 |
Bloketu then lifted her head, piteously, whimpering pleadingly. |
10 |
| 43 | 275 |
Bloketu lay back, tears running out of her eyes. |
10 |
| 43 | 286 |
Bloketu lay on her back, sobbing. |
10 |
| 43 | 335 |
Neither Iwoso nor Bloketu would sustain skin or body damage as a result of what was being done to them. |
10 |
| 43 | 361 |
Had she, thus, been bound more leniently than Bloketu, particularly since she was being bound by Hci, who seemed to bear her great hatred, she might have become suspicious. |
10 |
| 43 | 430 |
I then threaded one length of the rope through the handles on Bloketu's sack and tied the two ends together, drawing it up from the handles in such a way as to make a long, double loop, the two high portions of the loop well above the handles and adjacent to one another; I then, with the other lengt... |
10 |
| 43 | 443 |
I glanced at Bloketu. |
10 |
| 43 | 460 |
I lifted Bloketu to her feet, holding her with my left arm, the double loop in my right hand. |
10 |
| 43 | 470 |
Bloketu, at what must have been a breathtaking acceleration, was jerked upward and away. |
10 |
| 44 | 25 |
Bloketu, naked, was already bound to the first post. |
10 |
| 44 | 41 |
Iwoso's head, like Bloketu's, was then roped back helplessly against the post. |
10 |
| 44 | 42 |
"But I am an animal," cried Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 45 |
Bloketu moaned in misery. |
10 |
| 44 | 55 |
I will make you rich among the Yellow Knives!" "What of her?" I asked, indicating Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 59 |
Bloketu regarded her, piteously. |
10 |
| 44 | 61 |
"Forgive me, Mistress," said Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 134 |
Did she truly think that it was a mere accident that she and Bloketu had been brought to the posts this morning, interestingly, on the last day of Canwapegiwi? Without seeming to Iwoso then began to scan the terrain below, doubtless with some anxiety. |
10 |
| 44 | 428 |
"Oh!" cried Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 433 |
"Please untie me, Cuwignaka!" begged Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 434 |
Cuwignaka, in fury, went to Bloketu and slapped her head, back and forth, in the neck bonds. |
10 |
| 44 | 437 |
Bloketu looked at Cuwignaka, startled, disbelievingly. |
10 |
| 44 | 443 |
The once-haughty Bloketu was now no more than a slave. |
10 |
| 44 | 537 |
The warrior, looking upward, scarcely noticed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 729 |
We looked upon Iwoso, and Bloketu, too, though she was but a slave. |
10 |
| 44 | 732 |
My eyes strayed to what I could see of the intricate, colorful beading on Bloketu's high, leather collar, knotted at her throat. |
10 |
| 44 | 756 |
Obviously they had overheard her conversation with Bloketu in the lodge. |
10 |
| 44 | 810 |
"Do you beg food, Slave Girl?" he asked Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 817 |
Bloketu obeyed. |
10 |
| 44 | 823 |
He then thrust pemmican into her mouth, as Cuwignaka had with Bloketu. |
10 |
| 44 | 830 |
"Thank you for my food and drink, Master," said Bloketu to Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 44 | 877 |
I freed the necks of Bloketu and Iwoso from the posts. |
10 |
| 44 | 887 |
I then, similarly, hooded Bloketu. |
10 |
| 46 | 6 |
Bloketu was already bound to her post. |
10 |
| 47 | 30 |
"Feed and water Bloketu". |
10 |
| 48 | 1 |
Two Women "Free this slave," said Hci to Iwoso, pointing to Bloketu. |
10 |
| 48 | 5 |
"I free you," said Iwoso to Bloketu. |
10 |
| 48 | 6 |
She fumbled with the knot on Bloketu's collar, removing it from her. |
10 |
| 48 | 21 |
"Your former names, 'Bloketu' and 'Iwoso'," said Hci, "are now put on you as slave names". |
10 |
| 48 | 25 |
Bloketu tried to read in the eyes of Cuwignaka, and Iwoso tried to read in the eyes of Hci, what was to be her fate. |
10 |
| 48 | 66 |
"As you see," said Hci, quoting Iwoso's remark to Bloketu in her lodge, overheard by us the night of their capture, "it is not difficult to trick a stupid slave". |
10 |
| 48 | 68 |
Bloketu, I thought, had been avenged. |
10 |
| 48 | 77 |
This was bound behind the necks of Bloketu and Iwoso. |
10 |
| 48 | 84 |
Bloketu began to sob. |
10 |
| 49 | 22 |
Bloketu put down her head. |
10 |
| 49 | 26 |
Bloketu looked at him, aghast. |
10 |
| 50 | 9 |
Cuwignaka conducted Bloketu by the arm. |
10 |
| 50 | 12 |
Bloketu and Iwoso stood while Cuwignaka and Hci, crouching down, looped thongs about their ankles. |
10 |
| 50 | 27 |
Cuwignaka seized Bloketu from behind by the arms. |
10 |
| 50 | 30 |
"I beg the alternative!" screamed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 50 | 31 |
"I beg the alternative!" screamed Bloketu. |
10 |
| 50 | 34 |
Mahpiyasapa made a sign and Cuwignaka, at the very edge of the surface, released Bloketu. |
10 |
| 50 | 63 |
"Later, shameless slave," said Mahpiyasapa to she who had been Bloketu, "you who had the insolence, the punishable audacity, to pretend to be a free woman, it will be decided what is to be done with you". |
10 |
| 50 | 99 |
"Please, no," begged she who had been Bloketu. |
10 |
| 50 | 103 |
"Take us as slaves," begged she who had been Bloketu. |
10 |
| 50 | 110 |
"Please, Master," cried she who had been Bloketu, suddenly, turning and throwing herself to her shoulder, and then to her belly, before Cuwignaka. |
10 |
| 50 | 138 |
"I accept this woman," he said, indicating she who had been Bloketu, "as my slave". |
10 |
| 50 | 139 |
She who had been Bloketu laid her cheek on the rock beside his moccasins, shuddering. |
10 |
| 50 | 147 |
"You are Cespu," said Cuwignaka to she who had been Bloketu. |
