When the Colonel learns the scoundrel's real character, he will withdraw his support in disgust." "I'm none so sure of that. Remember his fatal predilection for black sheep.

You speak so plainly, we can understand you!" "No, I am going to the islands, to the blacks there." "You are wanted here! Never mind the blacks!" "Ought not the Gospel to be preached to them, too? They have no teacher. Is it not right they should be taught as you have been?" "Ke rae tika ana. Yes, yes, that is right!"
