First of all walked Teshumai Tewindrow and the Neolithic ladies , tightly holding on to the Stranger-man , whose hair was full of mud -LRB- although he was a Tewara -RRB- . Behind them came the Head Chief , the Vice-Chief , the Deputy and Assistant Chiefs -LRB- all armed to the upper teeth -RRB- , the Hetmans and Heads of Hundreds , Platoffs with their Platoons , and Dolmans with their Detachments ; Woons , Neguses , and Akhoonds ranking in the rear -LRB- still armed to the teeth -RRB- . Behind them was the Tribe in hierarchical order , from owners of four caves -LRB- one for each season -RRB- , a private reindeer-run , and two salmon-leaps , to feudal and prognathous Villeins , semi-entitled to half a bearskin of winter nights , seven yards from the fire , and adscript serfs , holding the reversion of a scraped marrow-bone under heriot -LRB- Are n't those beautiful words , Best Beloved ? -RRB- . They were all there , prancing and shouting , and they frightened every fish for twenty miles , and Tegumai thanked them in a fluid Neolithic oration . Then Teshumai Tewindrow ran down and kissed and hugged Taffy very much indeed ; but the Head Chief of the Tribe of Tegumai took Tegumai by the top-knot feathers and shook him severely . ` Explain ! Explain ! Explain ! ' cried all the Tribe of Tegumai . ` Goodness ' sakes alive ! ' said Tegumai . ` Let go of my top-knot . Ca n't a man break his carp-spear without the whole countryside descending on him ? You 're a very interfering people . ' ' I do n't believe you 've brought my Daddy 's black-handled spear after all , ' said Taffy . ` And what are you doing to my nice Stranger-man ? ' They were thumping him by twos and threes and tens till his eyes turned round and round . He could only gasp and point at Taffy . ` Where are the bad people who speared you , my darling ? '
