Tui Tulifau was a sympathetic monarch, whose queen, on occasions when he was particularly drunk, was known to beat him. For political reasons the queen belonging to as royal stock as himself and her brother commanding the army Tui Tulifau could not divorce her, but he could and did divorce Ieremia, who promptly took up with commercial life and the lady of his choice.
He kept on angling with his hand in the hole, and caught hold of a man's hand. The man leaped back and broke his grasp, and cried: "Tui N'Kualita, spare my life and I will be your wargod. My name is Tui Namoliwai." Tui N'Kualita answered him: "I am of a valiant people, and I vanquish all my enemies. I have no need of you."

The king, surrounded by half a dozen chiefs, lay on mats under the shade of the avocados in the palace compound.
"Here is the sack to put the coin money in," Ieremia urged. "It must be postponed," Cornelius said desperately, "'Tis not in banking hours." Ieremia flourished a package of money. "Nothing of banking hours is written here. It says on demand, and I now demand." "Let them come to-morrow, O Tui Tulifau," Cornelius appealed to the king. "They shall be paid to-morrow."
I don't doubt your delicacy and good-breeding; but in this particular case, as I was allowed the privilege of walking alone with a very interesting young woman, you must allow me to remark, in the classic version of a familiar phrase, used by our Master Benjamin Franklin, it is nullum tui negotii.
