00:00I loved dancing with him. I knew him for a long time, but just as a brother, more or less.
00:08I thought he was so nice, and he did things for me, and he treated me nice, and I liked it.
00:15I kind of got to, it was more than like, you know.
00:19The fundamental things apply as time goes by.
00:26You see, this is what people think. I think us oldies never had sex.
00:34We did, and Moran rushes home, and of course, don't forget, we're young, and all we do is rush into bed.
00:41And I said to him, I remember saying, if I get pregnant, will you be glad or happy?
00:49And he said, happy. And then, don't laugh, I was pregnant.
00:54And that made me laugh, because it was a rush job.
01:00You'll find that you'll like New Zealanders, or most of them, and that the New Zealanders will like you, or most of you.
01:11Oh, they used to come and carloads wagons.
01:13I'll tell you what, the third night the guys were in here, they were old women, must be getting 60 or 70,
01:19coming out there looking like young lambs and these old hogguts.
01:23Tell you what.
01:25We had these three final leaves.
01:28And when he was coming, when he was going on the last one, I said, look, if you get another one, please, don't come back.
01:36Just let them tell me you've gone.
01:39I couldn't have faced it, and neither could he.
01:41He got harder and harder, each time saying goodbye, because by this time we were very, very close.
01:49And I was his well, and he was mine, and he was going, and I was staying.
01:56Suddenly, your boys were away on a big ship, and we were waving madly, crying, and standing there, and couldn't do one thing.
02:06And that made you realise that people, our boys, were going to die.
02:12Dad took this message from Jeff's father to say that Jeff had been killed.
02:19And I stood, and I screamed.
02:23I was going to cry.
02:23And we went to six other marae, I think, after that, because at one marae there, seven went in the original lot, and not one came back.
02:40And I remember one of my people's and parents' neighbours saying to me,
02:54Oh, well, now you've had all that wonderful experience, I suppose now you'll settle down and get married.
02:59And I just wanted to kill her.
03:02They had no idea, they really thought that's what we would want to do.
03:06They had no idea what that experience had done to us.
03:20You must remember this
