In/in her/ppo dark/jj ,/, scornful/jj fashion/nn she/pps proceeded/vbd to/in her/pp$ destination/nn ,/, afraid/jj of/in nothing/pn ,/, not/* even/rb the/at evil/jj spirits/nns which/wdt kept/vbd her/ppo company/nn in/in her/pp$ time/nn of/in bleeding/vbg ./.


	Seeing/vbg her/ppo come/vb ,/, he/pps caught/vbd his/pp$ breath/nn ,/, feeling/vbg his/pp$ heart/nn bounce/vb in/in him/ppo ,/, and/cc turned/vbd away/rb ,/, afraid/jj now/rb ./.
Even/rb he/pps ,/, wanting/vbg her/ppo ,/, afraid/jj of/in her/ppo and/cc not/* knowing/vbg how/wrb to/to press/vb his/pp$ suit/nn ,/, feared/vbd the/at evil/jj presences/nns in/in her/pp$ metabolism/nn more/rbr ./.
His/pp$ breath/nn caught/vbd ,/, and/cc ,/, trembling/vbg ,/, he/pps closed/vbd his/pp$ eyes/nns and/cc stumbled/vbd off/rp ./.
Going/vbg ,/, he/pps saw/vbd as/cs often/rb before/rb some/dti queer/jj ,/, hideous/jj yellow/jj face/nn over/in his/pp$ head/nn ,/, shining/vbg and/cc weird/jj like/cs the/at old/jj images/nns which/wdt had/hvd invested/vbn him/ppo at/in other/ap times/nns like/vb those/dts that/wps appear/vb sometimes/rb near/in the/at eyeballs/nns when/wrb they/ppss are/ber perhaps/rb pressed/vbn by/in the/at thumbs/nns ./.

	Elsewhere/nn others/nns heard/vbn and/cc stopped/vbd and/cc waited/vbd ,/, the/at women/nns peering/vbg from/in their/pp$ lodges/nns then/rb gathering/vbg in/in small/jj ,/, curious/jj clusters/nns ./.
Early/jj-tl Spring/nn-tl came/vbd from/in her/pp$ bed/nn ,/, from/in beside/in her/ppo half-drunk/jj husband/nn ,/, Walitzee/np ,/, and/cc stood/vbd at/in the/at entrance/nn way/nn to/in her/pp$ lodge/nn hearing/vbg the/at mild/jj commotion/nn ,/, the/at sound/nn of/in hushed/vbn voices/nns ./.
Standing/vbg there/rb she/pps saw/vbd Shades/nns-tl of/in-tl Night/nn-tl come/vb through/in the/at trees/nns and/cc stop/vb beside/in the/at lodge/nn ,/, silent/jj ,/, almost/rb imperious/jj ,/, her/pp$ body/nn taut/jj ,/, simply/rb standing/vbg without/in speaking/vbg or/cc moving/vbg while/cs the/at wife/nn of/in Walitzee/np waited/vbd ,/, perhaps/rb denying/vbg the/at dread/nn that/wps moved/vbd in/in her/ppo ./.
When/wrb at/in last/ap she/pps could/md suffer/vb the/at insult/nn no/at longer/jjr ,/, nor/cc face/vb the/at girl's/nn$ scorn/nn ,/, she/pps said/vbd in/in a/at voice/nn overloud/jj :/:

They/ppss picked/vbd up/rp sticks/nns and/cc hurled/vbd them/ppo at/in the/at girl/nn ./.
The/at sticks/nns fell/vb like/cs a/at shower/nn around/in her/ppo and/cc she/pps felt/vbd them/ppo sting/vb her/pp$ flesh/nn and/cc send/vb tiny/jj points/nns of/in pain/nn along/in her/pp$ thighs/nns ./.
