conciliation prove

Killthat man tiger, Wi, and never mind the great black bear.
Henga glowered at him, gnawing at his lip, then said:So be it, dog. When one comes whom Wi lovesbetter than he does you, then we may be friends again, but notbefore.
Cease, Pag, cease, said Wi, stuffing his fingers into his ears. For this was no thief, this was Pag, his slave who loved him.
I went with him because of words whichyou had spoken which you will remember well. Near to the Gods House, Son, answered Wi, nodding toward theglacier, as he kissed him back.
Then, causing Wi to strip off his cloak, hemade him lie down and rubbed him all over with seal oil.
Because Henga is greedy over salmon, especially the first of theyear. But it is lawful that I should kill him, and I will.
No mans wife or daughter or robe or foodis safe from him.
Take no heed of his words, Brother, said Moananga the Happy-faced.
What chance has this toy against the clubof Henga?
So Pag stayed on with Wi and wasbeloved of him and by Wis children, but hated of Aaka.
Hou the Unstable sprangup at length and said that he was not afraid and would be the leader.
I say it isbecause of the wickedness of Henga. Yet,he added reflectively, it is a big business.
Cure it quickly, Pag, for it will be warm and these winds arecold. She made as though she would pass him, setting her face towardthe hut.
We turn our backs on you, we put our handsbefore our eyes and see nothing.
Look, said one woman to another in hearing, there goes he who hatesus, the spear-tongued dwarf. I made it for myself, but Wi shall have it.
The dead are dead, and well dead,perchance. That is my answer, and the omen is verygood.
Let there be peace between us for an hour, or gibe on ifyou will, and I will not answer. Near to the Gods House, Son, answered Wi, nodding toward theglacier, as he kissed him back.
Still, in thismatter, as in all others, do what you will. That is clever; I should never have thought of that, said Moananga. Good, and what are your wishes as regards myself?
When Iwoke up this morning I could not find you. Also, I think that, if I am wrong, itdoesnt matter, for I shall never know that I was wrong. The cave onlybelongs to the chief while he can defend it with his hands. He needs one that is warm, even in the summer, for lately he hasbeen coughing and spitting.
Shemeant to have twins but they got mixed up together and Henga cameinstead.
That is my answer, and the omen is verygood. Then she felt its edge, which was sharper than that of new-flakedflint, and asked what it was. Laughing hoarsely, Henga went back into the cave, and Wi and all theothers slipped away.
