Gwyneira attended the final concert in Christchurch together with Marama. She had wanted to bring James, Jack, and most of all, Gloria. Marama agreed that it would be good to bring Kura and her child together. James, however, refused categorically to pay to hear Kura’s singing, and Jack strongly opposed exposing Gloria to it.

“She’ll probably cry when Kura sings,” the boy said. “But I suppose we haven’t tried it in a while. She might stay quiet, and then Kura might think she has talent. You never know what will run through her head. What will we do if she suddenly wants to take Gloria to England?”

“She is her mother,” Gwyneira objected halfheartedly.

James shook his head reluctantly. “When the boy’s right, he’s right. She’s never cared for the child, but Gloria’s bigger and prettier now, and Kura could get some crazy idea in her head. It’s better not to take the risk. If Kura wants to see her daughter, she can come to Kiward Station. The ship is not leaving for England first thing tomorrow.”

Though Gwyneira considered that a sound argument, Marama remained of the opinion that they should at least try to get Kura to take an interest in Gloria. Erring on the side of caution, Jack found his own solution to the matter: he disappeared with the little girl on the day of the trip. He had recently started setting her in front of him on his horse, so looking for them would be useless. The pair could be miles away.

“I’ll bend him over my knee when he gets back,” James said when the women finally departed, with a wink at Gwyneira. He would more likely congratulate his son instead.
