you're that Maori fellow, said Balfa Crosby. Wells is mate. The man moved his eyes to Balfour's but did not speak. Give us your name again. Your name? Kotaro Dhofar, Eh, Doku in Goa. Crikey babysit. Give us just the name part. Hey, hold his palms close together to signify small amount. Just the name around. Tough on a can't say that either. About for said he shook his head. Well, what your friends call you, then, your white man friends. What did Crosby call you? Terao. Not much better, is it? Said Balfa. I'd be a fool to try, wouldn't I? How about I call you Ted? That's a good British name for you. Short for Theodore or Edward, You can choose Edwards. A nice name. How far did not respond? I'm Thomas, Balfa said, placing his hand on his heart and your Ted. He leaned over and patted Tafari on the crown of his head. The man flinched, and Balfour, in surprise, quickly snatched back his hand and took a step backwards feeling for her. She stuck out his leg and shoved both his hands into the pockets of his vest. Damn it, he said. Tell Father I come again in my tongue. Your name is damn iti. Ah, After sit very relieved. He shook his hands out of his pockets, clap them together and then folded his arms. You've got a bit of English. Good.
