A lady from Fiji called Moa came to seek a husband, and found one in a chief called Nonu, and hence the place was called Amoa, or the settlement of Lady Moa. O LE ITU TAOA, the side of Taoa, was the name of the north side of Savaii. Latterly it has been called the side of men, from their bravery in the war against Aana in 1830.
And I shall not care if you tell me of anything that's out of the way in my talking," said Clementina, generously. "Thank you; I think I won't wait any longer for Mr. Fane." "Why, I'm su'a he'll be back very soon, now. I'll try not to disturb you any moa." Gregory turned from taking some steps towards the door, and said, "I wish you would tell Mr. Fane something." "For you? Why, suttainly!" "No.
I felt her lunge against me. And suddenly I was gripping her, twisting her wrist. But she flung the knife away. Her strength was almost the equal of my own. Her hand went for my throat, and with the other hand she was fumbling. The deck abruptly sprang into light again. Moa had found the switch and threw it back. She fought me as I tried to reach the switch. I saw down on the deck.
"Yes?" "We're both of us gettin' pretty well on, and you'd ought to have somebody to look after you if I'm not around. You want somebody that can do for you; and keep you company, and read to you, and talk to you well, moa like a daughta than a suvvant somebody that you'd get attached to, maybe" "And don't you see," Mrs. Lander broke out severely upon him, "what a ca'e that would be?
I can't eva think it wasn't, no matta why you did it." "It was atrocious. I can see that now." "I say it, because I shouldn't eva wish to say it again. I know that all the time you we'e betta than what you did, and I blame myself a good deal moa fo' not knowing when you came to Florence that I had begun to ca'e fo'some one else.
He told you he would not harm you." "And so he struck me with one of your Martian paralyzing rays!" "He is sorry...." She seemed gauging me, trying, no doubt, to find out what reprisal would be taken against her brother. I felt sure that Moa was as active as a man in any plan that was under way to capture the Grantline treasure.
If the form should prove as plastic as that of our ordinary barnyard species, we may indeed succeed in developing a variety approaching in dimensions the gigantic moa of New Zealand, or the æpyornis of Madagascar, those magnificent creatures of the past which passed away just before their native lands were known to our race.
I recall an instant of horrible, tense silence, and in the gloom beside me I was aware of Moa moving. I felt a thrill of instinctive fear would she plunge that knife into me? The silence of the darkened deck was broken with a confusion of sounds. A babble of voices; a woman passenger's scream; shuffling feet; and above it all, Miko's roar: "Stand quiet! Everyone! No movement!"
"I don't believe I'm goin' to be sick, but it's one of my pooa days, and I might just as well be in bed as not." Clementina agreed with her, and Mrs. Lander asked: "You hea'd anything moa?" "No. Mr. Hinkle has just been he'a, but he hadn't any news." Mrs. Lander turned her face toward the wall. "Next thing, he'll be drownin' himself.
And as I regarded him with fascinated horror, there came upon his heavy gray face a look of dawning comprehension. And I heard Snap's startled intake of breath. He moved to the spectro, where the zed-ray connections were still humming. But, with a leap, Miko flung him away. "Off with you! Moa, watch him! Haljan, don't move!" Again Miko stood staring. I saw now that he was staring at Anita!
