Note 26 — A-slender-one-who-was-given-away

The moment that he seized her he quickly touched noses.26 One servant picked up her weapons with the scalp, ready to strike him, and the other one, too, was ready to strike him with the bone club. But she stopped them. “Do not kill him. I will marry him.” The human bones lying around belonged to those who, having become fascinated at the sight of her, had seized her, and had presently been killed by the servants.
