MICHELSON.] MAN UNRELEASED FROM DEATH CEREMONIES 449 
well. Soon again when he began to court women, he would become 
much sicker. When he stayed constantly in one spot, he would 
become very well. He would not again in any way haye ill-health. 
Gradually he would begin to walk around and around. Yet he would 
not in any way think of courting women. And soon again he would 
begin to be frightened at anything. Soon he would cease to be in 
the habit of going around any place. He would be continually 
frightened by the ghost (of his dead wife). If he ceased going any 
place he might be well. Soon again he would begin to continually 
court women. But if he did that, he would also always be refused. 
They would be unwilling. ‘You did not well, it appears, when you 
were formerly married. It doesnot appear at all probable that (the 
second time) you would treat me well,’ is what he would be told by 
women. “I am not unwillimg to hurt your feelings,” is what he 
would be told. And he would always be unsuccessful. Finally he 
would find one who thinks a man is hard to get, one thought to be 
nothing, that is one he would marry, an immoral one. After they 
have each other, when (the man) does any little thing, he already 
would become sick because he did not behave properly when unre- 
leased from death-ceremonies. That is what would happen to him. 
So it is told of (such a one). 
And one who is careful while unreleased from death-ceremonies, 
one who merely stays around for a long time, when he courts women, 
it seems as if he had many women. Nor would he in any way be 
made afraid. And he would go any place, and he would do anything. 
For he would have been having a hard time. After he becomes a 
widower released from death-ceremonies, it seems as if he would 
become a young man. Surely as the young men are thought of, that 
is what he would be thought to be, if he does this, fcllows carefully 
the rules concerning widowers unreleased from death-ceremonies. 
The man would often visit the relatives (of his dead wife). He would 
please them very much by doing so. If any one does that, if he 
carefully observes the rules appurtenant to widowers unreleased from 
death-ceremonies, it seems as if his sister-in-laws became his sisters, 
if he did not love them (i. e., desire to marry them). If he loves 
any of them, he might marry them. He would behave well, for he 
would have that reputation. It is not lawful for him to be blamed. 
Surely he would marry if he wants them. But if he does not want 
them he merely goes and visits them once in a while. When he 
comes there he would be treated as nicely as possible by as many as 
continued the relationship; he would be thought of kindly by them. 
And they would often come to see him. They would always know 
how he felt in the past, it seems, and how fond he was of (his) former 
(wife) while she was still alive would be known. They would be 
very fond of him. They would never say anything evil against him.
