It also points out its import statistics, which show a far larger per capita consumption of spiritous liquors. Guvutu explains this on the basis that Goboto does a larger business and has more visitors. Goboto retorts that its resident population is smaller and that its visitors are thirstier.
And from what I hear about those Guvutu sybarites, the best time to shop will be in the morning. And now you'll have to excuse me, for I've got to pack." "I'll go over with you," Sheldon announced. "Let me run you over in the Minerva," said Young. She shook her head laughingly. "I'm going in the whale-boat. One would think, from all your solicitude, that I'd never been away from home before.
He is not a nice man, and, I repeat, it is impossible." "There is Guvutu," she suggested. He shook his head. "There's nothing there but fever and five white men who are drinking themselves to death. I couldn't permit it." "Oh thank you," she said quietly. "I guess I'll start to-day. Viaburi! You go along Noa Noah, speak 'm come along me."
The big Tahitian smiled and nodded, his black eyes, soft and deer-like, seeming to give the lie to so belligerent a nature. "We start in an hour in the whale-boat for Guvutu, big brother," Joan said to him. "Tell your brothers, all of them, so that they can get ready. We catch the Upolu for Sydney.

Of course I am not your guardian. You know you can go to Guvutu if you want to" "or to the devil," he was almost tempted to add. "Only, I should deeply regret it, that is all.

I'll wager fifty pounds he's the man that enters and that his words will be, 'In Guvutu they merely drink between drinks. " Deacon was for the moment crushed.
