When people have once squared their accounts, they all feel quite relieved; no one can lord it over any one then. Every one gets what is due to him, and every one is satisfied; joy and sorrow are both done with. When a transaction is over, each party retires naturally into himself; if any point of difference arises, then there is an occasion for speech. Tuka has settled up his accounts, he stands clear of all complications; so now he has nothing to talk about but the sweet theme of peace.
