Since the Duke and Duchess of York visited Rotorua no other guide than the dark-eyed, dulcet-voiced Maggie Papakura, who showed the Duke himself around, has had a show with the

tourist-- Eve’ yone has insisted on being guided by Maggie, and being beguiled "by her languishing glances, and entertu'ned with her rosy description of the thermal sights, and her occasional pointed anecdote, told in that delightfully pleasing style of her own.
