He saw the most ridiculous aspect of one. His indication of Lovaina's figure made one shriek, and the governor would have sentenced him for lese-majesty had he seen himself taken off. The sounds he made in which he greeted any one he liked, or in anger, were terrible, dismaying.
They found that very difficult, as they had not accurate descriptions. "A beauty named Atupu," or "A black-eyed girl?" They had no aid among the girls they interrogated. "Why bother with some one who may be dead when we are here?" they asked. And Juan listened to the sirens and rested content. At Lovaina's there were seventy to dinner.
I had heard that delicious incident before, but it never lost savor. After dinner and a prolonged session upon the camphor-wood chest to hear Lovaina's chatter, I came leisurely to the Annexe along the shore of the lagoon. It was after midnight, and the heavens sang with stars as the ripe moon dipped into the western sea.
Baillon was a very handsome cow-boy from British Columbia, and was housed in Papeete with a giant Scandinavian who owned a cattle ranch in South America. He was generally called the Great Dane, and was the person meant in the charge for three cocktails at Lovaina's: "Germani to Fany, 3 feathers." The cow-boy became ill. I prescribed castor-oil, and Mme.
With all their embellishments, the French would not incommode themselves at the whim of a baton-wielder, who in America had only to wave his stick in "The Star-Spangled Banner," and any one who did not humor his whim by getting on his feet was beaten by his neighbors, who would not suffer without him. With the governor were the inspecteurs colonials, the bearded napkin-wearers of Lovaina's.
"But when the letter's mailed to ol' Morton in Frisco, 'e comes down on the nex' steamer, an' carries a gun to kill Llewellyn, an' tells everybody 'at Llewellyn dragged his nephew to 'ell, an' M'seer Lontane takes 'is gun away when Llewellyn meets 'im in Lovaina's porch, an' 'e pulls the gun, an' the Dummy stops 'im, and Llewellyn grabs a knife off the table.
There were no scaly fish, and it came out that the shellfish were caught by women, widows who had no men to obey or please, who had children, or who wanted francs to buy gewgaws or tobacco; and a few unsocial men fishers who did not abide by the common interests of their group. At Lovaina's we were on a tiresome round of canned salmon, eggs, and beef, and eggs rose to six sous each.
I saw an entry in Lovaina's day-book on the table: "Germani to Fany 3 feathers." This was a charge made by Atupu against a Dane for three cocktails. He took his meals at Mme. Klopfer's restaurant. Her first name is Fanny, and Atupu thinks all men not English, French, or Americans, are Germans; so she identified the Dane as the German who went to Fanny's for his meals.
Iromea of the Tiare Hotel perhaps some of Lovaina's maidens knew our plans and came over on the packet took the accordion from Kelly. She began to play, and two of the Moorea men joined her, one with a pair of tablespoons and the other with an empty gasolene-can.
We could cook feis, and there was plenty of other fruit, with shelter in the house, if we needed that. We could start down early and be at Lovaina's for the first déjeuner. Zeus! to pass the night in such a solitude!
