"Oh, he's angry and he'll never speak to us again, but who cares? We weren't trying to change his mind ourselves. We were just trying to find out who it is who does have influence over him. And we did."
"We did?"
"Jane picked up on it at once. When he said he was a man of 'perfect simplicity.'"
"Does that mean something more than the plain sense of it?"
"Mr. Hikari, my dear, has revealed himself to be a secret disciple of Ua Lava."
Wang-mu was baffled.
"It's a religious movement. Or a joke. It's hard to know which. It's a Samoan term, with the literal meaning 'Now enough,' but which is translated more accurately as, 'enough already!'"
"I'm sure you're an expert on Samoan." Wang-mu, for her part, had never heard of the language.
"Jane is," said Peter testily. "I have her jewel in my ear and you don't. Don't you want me to pass along what she tells me?"
"Yes, please," said Wang-mu.
"It's a sort of philosophy-- cheerful stoicism, one might call it, because when things get bad or when things are good, you say the same thing. But as taught by a particular Samoan writer named Leiloa Lavea, it became more than a mere attitude. She taught--"
"She? Hikari is a disciple of a woman?"
"I didn't say that," said Peter. "If you listen, I'll tell you what Jane is telling me." He waited. She listened.
"All right, then, what Leiloa Lavea taught was a sort of volunteer communism. It's not enough just to laugh at good fortune and say, 'Enough already.' You have to really mean it-- that you have enough. And because you mean it, you take the surplus and you give it away. Similarly, when bad fortune comes, you bear it until it becomes unbearable-- your family is hungry, or you can no longer function in your work. And then again you say, 'Enough already,' and you change something. You move; you change careers; you let your spouse make all the decisions. Something. You don't endure the unendurable."
"What does that have to do with 'perfect simplicity'?"
