STEWART:
Miss McGrath, Alisdair Stewart.
You'll have to wake yourself.
I've got men here to carry your
things.
ADA and FLORA struggle up to find themselves confronted by a group of
men and women. The MAORIS stare curiously and comment on the women.
Aut he anahera enci?
(Are they angels, they look
like angels.)
SUBTITLED:
A man points at FLORA's feet and gestures as if holding one of the
little shoes in his hand.
Te monohi hoki!
(So small!)
SUBTITLED:
FLORA is struck by shyness and hides under her mother's skirt. ADA
cannot look straight at STEWART and STEWART also cannot look at her.
STEWART:
I see you have a good many
boxes, I'd like to know what is
in each.
As ADA does not move STEWART is puzzled.
STEWART:
ADA nods and looks up coldly, insulted by his slow loud speaking.
STEWART:
Well that is good, yes that is
good, good.
STEWART smiling searches ADA's face for some sign of comprehension but
is unnerved by her lack of response. He stops smiling, and, patting
his hair walks to the closest box. Several of the MAORI party follow
behind STEWART while one of them closely and particularly mimics him.
STEWART:
What's in here?
ADA points to the writing already on the box saying "Crockery and
Pots".
STEWART:
Ohh, yes so it is, written
there, crockery.
STEWART:
And this one?
ADA writes "bedclothes and linen" on the pad around her neck- While
she writes he takes the opportunity to scrutinise her.
STEWART:
You're small. I never thought
you'd be small.
STEWART:
What's here?
She writes "clothes". The MAORI mimic also pretends to write.
Finally he comes to the piano box. He lifts a corner experimentally.
STEWART:
What's in here then, lead?
FLORA:
(gravely) It's my mother's
piano.
STEWART:
A piano?
