Well
,
Ata
,
he
said
,
do
you
fancy
me
for
a
husband
.
"
She
did
not
say
anything
,
but
just
giggled
.
"
But
I
tell
you
,
my
poor
Strickland
,
the
girl
has
a
beguin
for
you
,
I
said

"
I
shall
beat
you
,
he
said
,
looking
at
her
.
"
How
else
should
I
know
you
loved
me
,
she
answered
.
"
Tiare
broke
off
her
narrative
and
addressed
herself
to
me
reflectively
.
"
My
first
husband
,
Captain
Johnson
,
used
to
thrash
me
regularly
.
He
was
a
man
.
He
was
handsome
,
six
foot
three
,
and
when
he
was
drunk
there
was
no
holding
him
.
I
would
be
black
and
blue
all
over
for
days
at
a
time
.
Oh
,
I
cried
when
he
died
.
I
thought
I
should
never
get
over
it
.
But
it
wasn
t
till
I
married
George
Rainey
that
I
knew
what
I
d
lost
.
You
can
never
tell
what
a
man
is
like
till
you
live
with
him
.
I
ve
never
been
so
deceived
in
a
man
as
I
was
in
George
Rainey
.
He
was
a
fine
,
upstanding
fellow
too
.
He
was
nearly
as
tall
as
Captain
Johnson
,
and
he
looked
strong
enough
.
But
it
was
all
on
the
surface
.
He
never
drank
.
He
never
raised
his
hand
to
me
.
He
might
have
been
a
missionary
.
I
made
love
with
the
officers
of
every
ship
that
touched
the
island
,
and
George
Rainey
never
saw
anything
.
At
last
I
was
disgusted
with
him
,
and
I
got
a
divorce
.
What
was
the
good
of
a
husband
like
that
?
It
s
a
terrible
thing
the
way
some
men
treat
women
.

I
condoled
with
Tiare
,
and
remarked
feelingly
that
men
were
deceivers
ever
,
then
asked
her
to
go
on
with
her
story
of
Strickland
.
"
Well
,
I
said
to
him
,
there
s
no
hurry
about
it
.
Take
your
time
and
think
it
over
.
Ata
has
a
very
nice
room
in
the
annexe
.
Live
with
her
for
a
month
,
and
see
how
you
like
her
.
You
can
have
your
meals
here
.
And
at
the
end
of
a
month
,
if
you
decide
you
want
to
marry
her
,
you
can
just
go
and
settle
down
on
her
property
.
"
Well
,
he
agreed
to
that
.
