Kaumatua Hori was a big man— On the Railway scales he weighed twenty stone. He loved the pictures. The seats were narrow so he sat in the aisle. The Manager said, ‘Hori is a good Patron.’ He removed an arm between two seats— In the front row. Hori was comfortable, On the screen—Cowboys. That was years ago. * * * * Now Hori is a respected old man. He spreads himself out on the living-room couch. His back is rested. His toes Released from pinching boots, Curl in delicious freedom. On the screen—Cowboys. Hori watches Television. — Marie Andersen.
