When people get together to discuss a subject there is no guarantee, as so many chairmen have found to their distress, that they will stick to the rules of debate. They have a sometimes pleasant habit of wandering, as this extract from a lettei - to a Taranaki resident suggests: "The householders’ meeting was supposed to be at 8 p.m. Five persons in all turned up, and discussed politics, crops, cows, dogs and pigs, Hitler, Mussolini and local doctors till 9.20. when the evening’s business was put through. I got home at 10.30!”
