"Well, he agreed to that. Ata continued to do the housework, and I gave him his meals as I said I would. I taught Ata to make one or two dishes I knew he was fond of. He did not paint much. He wandered about the hills and bathed in the stream. And he sat about the front looking at the lagoon, and at sunset he would go down and look at Murea. He used to go fishing on the reef. He loved to moon about the harbour talking to the natives. He was a nice, quiet fellow. And every evening after dinner he would go down to the annexe with Ata. I saw he was longing to get away to the bush, and at the end of the month I asked him what he intended to do. He said if Ata was willing to go, he was willing to go with her. So I gave them a wedding dinner. I cooked it with my own hands. I gave them a pea soup and lobster a la portugaise, and a curry, and a cocoa-nut salad—you've never had one of my cocoa-nut salads, have you? I must make you one before you go—and then I made them an ice. We had all the champagne we could drink and liqueurs to follow. Oh, I'd made up my mind to do things well. And afterwards we danced in the drawing-room. I was not so fat, then, and I always loved dancing."

“他同意这样做。爱塔仍然给我干活儿,我叫思特里克兰德在我这里吃饭,象我答应过的那样。我教给爱塔做一两样他喜欢吃的菜。他并没有怎么画画儿。他在山里游荡,在河里边洗澡。他坐在海边上眺望咸水湖。每逢日落的时候,就到海边上去看莫里阿岛。他也常常到礁石上去钓鱼。他喜欢在码头上闲逛,同本地人东拉西扯。他从不叫叫嚷嚷,非常讨人喜欢。每天吃过晚饭他就同爱塔一起到厢房里去。我看得出来,他渴望回到丛林里去。到了一个月头上,我问他打算怎么办。他说,要是爱塔愿意走的话,他是愿意同爱塔一起走的。于是我给他们准备了一桌喜酒。我亲自下的厨。我给他们做了豌豆汤、葡萄牙式的大虾、咖喱饭和椰子色拉——你还没尝过我做的椰子色拉呢,是不是?在你离开这里以前我一定给你做一回——我还给他们准备了冰激凌。我们拼命地喝香槟,接着又喝甜酒。啊,我早就打定主意,一定要把婚礼办得象个样子。吃完了饭,我们就在客厅里跳舞。那时候我还不象现在这么胖,我从年轻的时候就喜欢跳舞。”
