THE PRICE OF URBANISATION Among our group there was one very simple boy, Morris, of high school age but unable to read. He has a sweet and charming nature; although he could not be expected to understand much of the goings on, he was enjoying himself immensely, and was a popular figure at Matakana Island, playing football well, singing a most amusing solo number, and riding about expertly on a fine horse. Morris's shoes were far too small for him; the heels were almost worn away, and his feet were very painful. While we were waiting for the Museum staff to meet us we noticed Morris had come in with bare feet, his first slip in etiquette since the beginning of the tour. He was hastily sent back for the shoes but a little while later returned, still barefooted on the marble, and with a disarming grin—the bus had driven off, with his shoes on it.
