 and saw ihat it was true that beside the lodg'e stood the tree Tooth, 

 whose flowers wei'e the source of the light of the eai'th there present, 

 and also of the man-beings dwelling there. Verily, she then entered 

 the lodge. Then she looked, and saw that in the middle of the lodge a 

 mat was spread, and that thereon, moreover, lay the chief. Now, at 

 that time, she removed her pack-strap burden, and then she also set the 

 basket before him, and then, moreover, she said: "Thou and 1 marry," 

 and then, moreover, she handed the basket to him. He said nothing. 

 When it liecame night, he spread a mat for her at the foot of his mat, 

 and then, moreover, he said: " Verily, here thou wilt stay overnight." 

 Moreover, it thus came to pass. Now. verily, they laid their liodies 

 down and they slept.
