Age
and
obesity
had
made
her
inapt
for
love
,
but
she
took
a
keen
interest
in
the
amatory
affairs
of
the
young
.
She
looked
upon
venery
as
the
natural
occupation
for
men
and
women
,
and
was
ever
ready
with
precept
and
example
from
her
own
wide
experience
.
"
I
was
not
fifteen
when
my
father
found
that
I
had
a
lover
,
"
she
said
.
"
He
was
third
mate
on
the
Tropic
Bird
.
A
good
-
looking
boy
.
"
She
sighed
a
little
.
They
say
a
woman
always
remembers
her
first
lover
with
affection
;
but
perhaps
she
does
not
always
remember
him
.
"
My
father
was
a
sensible
man
.
"
"
What
did
he
do
?
"
I
asked
.
"
He
thrashed
me
within
an
inch
of
my
life
,
and
then
he
made
me
marry
Captain
Johnson
.
I
did
not
mind
.
He
was
older
,
of
course
,
but
he
was
good
-
looking
too
.
"
Tiare
—
her
father
had
called
her
by
the
name
of
the
white
,
scented
flower
which
,
they
tell
you
,
if
you
have
once
smelt
,
will
always
draw
you
back
to
Tahiti
in
the
end
,
however
far
you
may
have
roamed
—
Tiare
remembered
Strickland
very
well
.
"
He
used
to
come
here
sometimes
,
and
I
used
to
see
him
walking
about
Papeete
.
I
was
sorry
for
him
,
he
was
so
thin
,
and
he
never
had
any
money
.
When
I
heard
he
was
in
town
,
I
used
to
send
a
boy
to
find
him
and
make
him
come
to
dinner
with
me
.
I
got
him
a
job
once
or
twice
,
but
he
couldn
’
t
stick
to
anything
.
After
a
little
while
he
wanted
to
get
back
to
the
bush
,
and
one
morning
he
would
be
gone
.
"
Strickland
reached
Tahiti
about
six
months
after
he
left
Marseilles
.
He
worked
his
passage
on
a
sailing
vessel
that
was
making
the
trip
from
Auckland
to
San
Francisco
,
and
he
arrived
with
a
box
of
paints
,
an
easel
,
and
a
dozen
canvases
.
He
had
a
few
pounds
in
his
pocket
,
for
he
had
found
work
in
Sydney
,
and
he
took
a
small
room
in
a
native
house
outside
the
town
