Revenge: A Love Tale of the Mount Eden Tribe
[introduction]
"Now you will remember," said Maro as he changed his position and stretched his cramped limbs, "that all I have said about Popo and his love up to the time of the pakuha was told to me by my mother. Then the events of that night and succeeding days I told you from my own memory, for I was there, and it was then I saw Rehu and loved her. I had seen Popo when I was a very little boy when I did not know how to remember. I could not hold in memory what was passing round me till the time I saw Rehu, and then was the first day of remembrance when I looked at people and listened to what they said, and kept in my head what I saw and heard.
"Now I must continue the story of Popo as it was told to me by my mother, for I was not at this time at Mount Eden."
