Hark to them! said a third scornfully.
human
You bring news, is it not so? We heard sounds of a fight. Our people have fled, and we are free!
gpt
Ay, there was a big fight, and our people have won.
human
You gabble, old woman! Our men have no stomach for fighting. They can only talk.
gpt
Noenti, how you chatter! If our folk have won, they will be feasting and dancing.
human
Oh, your news is old like yourself, mother, said Noenti.
gpt
We saw the fighting, and our people won; but it was because of the stranger who led them--a great man.
human
Oh, well, if you know everything I will return; when I was a girl I always listened to what my elders had to say. So you saw the fight and the great chief. I could have told about him, but you already know.
gpt
Tell us! they all cried together.
human
Catch her, hold her fast!
gpt
Yinny!
