Flora Scales in conversation with M. de Lange, 1983, recalled this scene in Nelson, New Zealand, supplying the approximate date and exclaiming, “Dear cows! Dear pets! Madame Kalachnikoff doesn’t like their udders – tits. I had to feed calves and all sorts of things and I loved them.” In this passage Scales was probably referring to episodes in her life as a young woman visiting family and friends on farms near Wellington.
