| Williams and Davies walked with me to a part of a neighbouring forest, to show me the famous kauri pine. The silly ass who owns her,--he's captain too, named Davies,-- he's lost his certificate, or something. Davies was coming to town, and so we thought we'd join him in a post-chaise; and he behaved very genteelly, and paid ten or twelve shillings more than we did. |
