Part 36 (1/1)

When an Indian is seen completely shrouded in his blanket, standing or sitting a little apart from the camp, he either has a grouch or he is praying. In either case it is not good manners to interrupt him.

As far as possible the use of the blanket is indicated in the text.

Always it may be safely taken as an indication of the wearer's att.i.tude toward whatever is going on about him.
