| | Homage to Hone « Cassidys in Auckland |
 | | Hone Tuwhare himself was in attendance, at 84 a small, stooped slow figure, but with a cheerful grin and a bright eye. |
 | | Interestingly, Hone was encouraged in English by his father and revelled in a formal elegance drawn from the King James Bible, to such an extent that he lost his fluency in Maori. |
 | | As she was speaking, she was interrupted by one of the female Maori singers, who began, very gently, a traditional song, which was soon picked up by the other Maori singers on stage. |
