Tyope had spoken very well.
Hoshkanyi Tihua was delighted with the talk of his clan-brother.
Forgetful of his position as chairman he looked around the circle proudly, as if to say, "He can do it better than any one of you." The stillness that followed was suddenly broken by the voice of the Hishtanyi Chayan, who called out in a dry, business-like manner,-- "Our brother Tyope has spoken well, and all the others have spoken as their hearts directed them to speak; but my brother"-- he emphasized the _my_--"the maseua has not yet said what he thinks.

My brother is very wise.

Let him open his heart to us." There was a slight commotion among the assembled parties.

The speech of Tyope had so monopolized their attention that none of them had thought of the maseua.

Now they were reminded of his presence through the principal medicine-man himself, and that reminder acted like a reproach.
The eyes of all, Tyope and the Koshare Naua excepted, turned toward the doorway, where Topanashka was quietly sitting.
