I am going far away, and the man who has broken his faith to the maiden who trusted him, will never be a good husband." "If I were Wenona, and you married the Deer-killer," said the Bright Star to Wanska, "you should not live long after it.

She is a coward or she would not let you laugh at her as you did.

I believe _she has no heart_ since the Virgin's feast; sometimes she laughs so loud that we can hear her from our teepee, and then she bends her head and weeps.
When her mother places food before her she says, 'Will he bring the meat of the young deer for me to dress for him, and will my lodge be ever full of food, that I may offer it to the hungry and weary stranger who stops to rest himself ?' If I were in her place, Wanska," added the Bright Star, "I would try and be a medicine woman, and I would throw a spell upon the Deer-killer, and upon you too, if you married him." "The Deer-killer is coming," said another of the girls.

"He has been watching us; and now that he sees Wenona has gone away, he is coming to talk to Wanska.

He wears many eagle feathers: Wenona may well weep that she cannot be his wife, for there is not a warrior in the village who steps so proudly as he." But he advanced and passed them indifferently.
