Chapter XXXII.
FAREWELL TO AO-TEA-ROA.
“ . . . . . . . with a sweet freight
Of memories on our souls, that cannot die.”
When we found that we could, at the cost of a little extra fatigue, spend another two days in Dunedin instead of Invercargill we unanimously chose Dunedin. And this meant leaving Te Anau at four-thirty in the morning and arriving at Dunedin at seven in the evening, so that the last day of our eleven together was the longest of all.
And when Colonel Deane’s many friends in the Scottish city heard of our arrival with him they showered invitations upon us to such an extent that if we had had two weeks instead of two days we could not have accepted them all.
