At the time appointed all the tribe came together and pitched their lodges in a great circle, and within this circle the Medicine Lodge was built. The ceremony lasted for four days and four nights, during which time the woman who had promised to make the Medicine Lodge neither ate nor drank, except once in sacrifice.

I cannot," said Broken Bow sadly. "Do," says the duchess. A deep hush has fallen upon everything. The air is cold and piercing.
