Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I rere atu a Colin Shearing, 70, ki tawahi o te Channel ki Paris kia kore ai ia e herea mo te whakaeke moepuku. Whakaahua kōnae. Kua rere atu tētahi kaituhi tamariki ki Wīwī kia kore ai e herea mō te whakaeke i tētahi kōtiro e ono tau te pakeke. Kua tukuna he raihana hopu Pākehā mō Colin Shearing, 70, kāore i tae mai ki te kōti inanahi ki te whakawātea. I whakawakia ia mo te whakaeke kino, a i hoatu ki a ia he wiki i runga i te peera ki te 'whakatikatika i ona take whaiaro.' Engari i rongo te Kooti Karauna o Swansea kua whiti ia i te Channel me te tono i tetahi ruma i te Hotel des Nation i Paris. Kātahi ka neke atu ia ki tētahi hōtera tuarua, kātahi ki tētahi hōtera tuatoru i roto i tētahi whakamātau kia noho i mua i te pirihimana, e whai ana i a ia puta noa i te whenua. I tukuna e te Kai-whakawa, a Huw Davies, he raihana a-Iuropi mo te hopu i a Shearing. I rongo te kooti i whakaekea e ia te kotiro e rua nga wa neke atu i te 20 tau ki muri, a ka whiua ia ki te toru tau ki te whare herehere i a ia e ngaro ana. Engari ka whiwhi anō ia i tētahi whiu anō mō te rerenga i te wā ka kitea ia. I kii te Tiati Davies, ko Shearing, o Chichester, Sussex, kaore i whakaatu i te 'kore pouri' mo tana mahi. I whakaae a Shearing, he Mema o te Royal Society of Arts, kei roto i ana pukapuka, e whakaputaina ana i raro i te ingoa Colin King, he wāhanga e pā ana ki ngā tamariki e pā ana ki ngā tamariki. I rongo te marae i te tono a Shearing i a ia ano ki te Hotel des Nations i Paris (i whakaahuatia) i mua i tana neke ki te hotera tuarua me te tuatoru ki te karo i te pirihimana. I whakaae a ia kei roto i ana pukapuka, i whakaputaina i raro i te ingoa Colin King, he wāhanga e pā ana ki ngā tamariki e pā ana ki te moepuku tahi - engari i tohe tonu ia he mahi pakiwaitara noa iho. E rua ngā wā i tukinotia ai e te kaituhi te kōtiro i ngā tau 1980. I whakakitea e ia ko nga maharatanga o te whakaeke i hoki mai ki a ia i nga tau i muri mai ka akiaki ia ki te amuamu i tana kitenga kua uru atu a Shearing ki tetahi whare tapere taiohi. Kua whakahaua a Shearing kia rēhita hei kaitukino moepuku. I whakawakia a Shearing mo te whakaekenga kino, a, i whiua ki te toru tau ki te whare herehere i te Kooti Karauna o Swansea (i whakaahuatia) a, kei te anga atu ia ki tetahi atu...
