Doubtless, in the dozen years the gentle Lovaina ministered to the needs of travelers and residents, many girls came and went in her house. Some have married, and some have gone away without a ring, but all have been made much of by those they served, and have lived gayly and by the way. Lovaina, herself, said to me: "You know those girl', they go ruin.
I move to the Annexe Description of building The baroness and her baby Evoa and poia The corals of the lagoon The Chinese shrine The Tahitian sky. Lovaina suggested, since I liked to be about the lagoon, that I move to the Annexe, a rooming-house she owned and conducted as an adjunct to the Tiare. I moved there, and regretted that I had stayed so long in the animal-yard.
In about a fortnight we began to have fish as usual, and Lovaina signed to me that the Dummy procured them in the country. I was very curious, and asked if I might accompany him. She said that he would call for me at the Annexe the next time he went. I was awakened after midnight in my room the doors were never locked by the Dummy leaning over and shaking me.
Jus' one French woman who know to swear turribil. This swear woman she call her turribil name and say, 'Everybody don't know you was convict in Noumea for killing one man for money. That turribil talk, and she jus' fell down. Good for her, I think." Lovaina seldom rode in her automobile, which she kept primarily for renting to guests for country tours.
Lovaina was at the serving-table with volunteers cutting cakes and taking the money. The parlor, with its red and blue plush chairs, was filled with Argentineans playing the piano and singing songs of their country. Suddenly Lovaina discovered that some one had stolen the album of portraits from the piano-top.
I think may be you love one country vahine!" She rubbed my back, and said that Lying Bill, who had been at the Tiare for luncheon, hoped to sail in two days. McHenry was to go with us as a passenger on the schooner. Everybody knew everybody's business. Lovaina suddenly bethought herself of a richer morsel of gossip. She struck her forehead. "My God! how long you been?
"I not go swim now," she said regretfully, "'cep' some night-time. Too big. Before I marry, eighteen seven'y-nine, and before my three children grow up, I swim plenty then." "Lovaina," I said, "it was hardly eighteen seventynine you were married. You are only forty-three now. Was it not eighty-nine?" "Mus' be," she replied thoughtfully. "I nineteen when marry.
She hesitated I was almost a stranger, and in a vain effort to do better, trod on the sheet, and pulled it to her feet. I picked it up for her. "I shamed for you see me like this!" she said. I was blushing all over, though why I don't know, but I faltered: "Like a great American Beauty rose." "Faded rose too big," exclaimed Lovaina, with the faintest air of coquetry as I hastily shut the door.
The populace were joyous, though some old wholesale buyers like Lovaina questioned the wisdom of the governor's edict and the effect on themselves. "If they do that," said she, "maybe, by'n'by they fix my meal or lime squash." Until the date of carrying out the mandate, one picked out a pleasing fish or string of fish, all nicely wrapped in leaves, and one asked, "A hia? How much?"
While Lovaina stayed in the garden of the Annexe, gathering a garland of roses for my hat, the Dummy endeavored to narrate to me the tragedy of David.
