over the T'ua Mata's death,
and wept and called him

neither, and carried on in a
shocking way, and couldn't

other women beside the Tua

the first thing he did was to
take two very stiff drinks
of whisky, with no food to

urge him not to, but he
looked up at nae, under his
eyebrows, and says:
Damn you. hold your
tongue.' Which / did.
Afterward he walked up
and down for an hour, nut

a little more. and then took
another nip. So he went on
through most of the day.
Her Lad yship, very white
and deatnly,i tried once or
twice to speak 70 him. but
he cut her of as savage as
an angry dog, and so she let
him alone.
Once, toward noon. he
went into the big house.

of their dead princess. and
drove them away, and
stayed there alone for half
an hour or so. When lie
came out he was shiyeriug
