[Dahcotah by Mary Eastman]@TWC D-Link bookDahcotah CHAPTER II 3/4
For a time her sighs were heard--but at length sleep came to her relief, and her grief was forgotten in dreams.
But morn has come and they are to make an early start.
Was ever such confusion? Look at that old hag knocking the very senses out of her daughter's head because she is not ready! and the girl, in order to avoid the blows, stumbles over an unfortunate dog, who commences a horrible barking and whining, tempting all the dogs of the village to outbark and outwhine him. There goes "White Buffalo" with his two wives, the first wife with the teepee on her back and her child on the top of it.
No wonder she looks so cross, for the second wife walks leisurely on.
Now is her time, but let her beware! for White Buffalo is thinking seriously of taking a third. But they are all off at last.
