"FUSS" DEPRECATED
MANY YEARS' ROMANCE
ENGAGED SINCE 1908
■'. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, September 2. | "What's all this to-do and . fuss about?" asked Mr. John Turvey when interviewed at Mission Bay with reference to the cable message from London stating that a 40 years' romance is to end in his marriage to Miss Mary Hannah. Huntingdon, Eng- [ land, who will arrive at Wellington on I October 12. "I don't want to make any fuss, and 1 am sure she wouldn't like it." he added. "Anyway, they have got their dates wrong. I came to New Zealand in 1901, and I reckon we were engaged in 1908, when she first said she would come to New Zealand and be married." Mr. Turvey has spent most of his time cream-grading and butter-making at Stratford. War injuries forced him to give up work and about 18 months ago he settled at Auckland. He has a small war, pension. . Both Miss Huntington and he were born at Bradford and lived close to each other and attended schools which were not far away. Mr. Turvey has not seen his bride-to-be since he left England. Not even when he went to England with the Twenty-fourth Keinforcements"did he visit Bradford. He has not decided whether to go to Wellington to meet Miss Huntington. She will stay with a brother at Wellington for a few days and will then come to Auckland. However, if he goes to Wellington they might be married there. They intend to settle at Mission Bay. ■'
