The Story of a New Zealand River
Authorship not stated
A punt loaded with furniture and children leaves a rotting landing at dawn, because the river is the only road to the new house. You play Alice Roland, six hours upstream through mangroves and wet bush beside a man introduced to you minutes ago — David Bruce, who runs the timber work for your husband. Asia keeps asking which hill belongs to her father. The house, when it finally appears, is still open framing.
