Around
her
neck
were
skulls
,
and
her
many
hands
held
knives
,
and
swords
,
and
severed
heads
.
"
I
did
not
call
you
a
child
,
Mama
-
ji
,
"
said
Wednesday
,
peaceably
.
"
But
it
seems
self
-
evident
—
"
"
The
only
thing
that
seems
self
-
evident
,
"
said
the
old
woman
,
pointing
(
as
behind
her
,
through
her
,
above
her
,
a
black
finger
,
sharp
-
taloned
,
pointed
in
echo
)
,
"
is
your
own
desire
for
glory
.
We
’
ve
lived
in
peace
in
this
country
for
a
long
time
.
Some
of
us
do
better
than
others
,
I
agree
.
I
do
well
.
Back
in
India
,
there
is
an
incarnation
of
me
who
does
much
better
,
but
so
be
it
.
I
am
not
envious
.
I
’
ve
watched
the
new
ones
rise
,
and
I
’
ve
watched
them
fall
again
.
"
Her
hand
fell
to
her
side
.
Shadow
saw
that
the
others
were
looking
at
her
,
a
mixture
of
expressions
—
respect
,
amusement
,
embarrassment
—
in
their
eyes
.
"
They
worshiped
the
railroads
here
,
only
a
blink
of
an
eye
ago
.
And
now
the
iron
gods
are
as
forgotten
as
the
emerald
hunters
…
"
"
Make
your
point
,
Mama
-
ji
,
"
said
Wednesday
.
"
My
point
?
"
Her
nostrils
flared
.
The
corners
of
her
mouth
turned
down
.
"
I
—
and
I
am
obviously
only
a
child
—
say
that
we
wait
.
We
do
nothing
.
We
don
’
t
know
that
they
mean
us
harm
.
"
"
And
will
you
still
counsel
waiting
when
they
come
in
the
night
and
they
kill
you
,
or
they
take
you
away
?
"
Her
expression
was
disdainful
and
amused
:
it
was
all
in
the
lips
and
the
eyebrows
and
the
set
of
the
nose
.
"
If
they
try
such
a
thing
,
"
she
said
,
"
they
will
find
me
hard
to
catch
,
and
harder
still
to
kill
.
"
A
squat
young
man
sitting
on
the
bench
behind
her
harrumphed
for
attention
,
then
said
,
with
a
booming
voice
,
"
All
-
Father
,
my
people
are
comfortable
.
We
make
the
best
of
what
we
have
.
If
this
war
of
yours
goes
against
us
,
we
could
lose
everything
.
"
Wednesday
said
,
"
You
have
already
lost
everything
.
I
am
offering
you
the
chance
to
take
something
back
.
"
The
fire
blazed
high
as
he
spoke
,
illuminating
the
faces
of
the
audience
.
