My dear child, the priest inserted, it's not often one of these--he threw a meaningful glance at Hunter-- offers to make an honorable woman of a captive. Wouldn't it be wise to accept?I'm in no need of matrimony, Father. I still my honor.Hunter jerked her to his side and, in an ominously even voice, said, Your honor will soon go the way of the wind, Blue Eyes. You made a God promise. You are my woman! Now I say you will be my wife!
In "Comanche Moon," a tense moment arises between a character named Hunter and another individual referred to as Blue Eyes. The priest suggests that it is rare for someone to offer such a serious commitment to someone in captivity. He implies that accepting this proposal would be wise, but Blue Eyes stands firm in her decision, asserting that she does not require marriage to maintain her honor.
Nevertheless, Hunter forcibly draws her close, threatening her honor by invoking a promise he believes she made to him. He insists that she is his and proclaims that she will become his wife, highlighting the struggle between personal agency and societal expectations of honor and commitment in their circumstances.
