The delegate of the Water people was _hors du combat_ for the remainder of the evening.
The incident had made an impression on the assembly.

Nearly everybody shared more or less in the excitement.

Now that quiet was restored, apparent calmness seemed to prevail in their minds again.

The men stared as motionless as before; but their faces were dark, and many an eye displayed a spark of passionate fire.

Topanashka had not moved during the quarrel, and Tyope hid his face in his hands as before.
Hoshkanyi's voice still trembled as he called upon the representative of Tanyi hanutsh.
