A riddle about a Scotchman, and such a novel answer. Fla ! Ha ! Aunt Hilda remembers. Kumara was the place where Richard John Seddon, a former Premier of New Zealand, was so well known. There are many pictures of him hanging in the homes on the Coast. What else do you remember? Aunt Hilda remembers a bouquet of very early spring violets given by a tiny girl at Kumara Junction. Who can remember?
