'All the events in the narrative take place at or in relation to Yajarlu: the theft of the child, its return to its rightful home, the separate but always present concern of the old Jupurrurla for both the people, the mother and child, and the country, and who might be lighting fires. The narrative is about restoring things to their rightful state and position, In this way at the close of thstory, the traveller who is passing through on his way to his own home and relatives provides a coda elegantly emphasizing this central concern.'
