Meggie
,
look
at
me
.
No
,
look
at
me
!
"
She
raised
hunted
eyes
and
saw
that
he
was
smiling
;
an
immeasurable
contentment
filled
her
soul
at
once
.
He
would
not
smile
so
if
she
were
dying
;
she
knew
very
well
how
much
she
meant
to
him
,
for
he
had
never
concealed
it
.
"
Meggie
,
you
're
not
dying
and
you
have
n't
got
cancer
.
It
is
n't
my
place
to
tell
you
what
's
the
matter
,
but
I
think
I
had
better
.
Your
mother
should
have
told
you
years
ago
,
prepared
you
,
and
why
she
did
n't
is
beyond
me
.
"
He
looked
up
at
the
inscrutable
marble
angel
above
him
and
gave
a
peculiar
,
half-strangled
laugh
.
"
Dear
Jesus
!
The
things
Thou
givest
me
to
do
!
"
Then
,
to
the
waiting
Meggie
:
"
In
years
to
come
,
as
you
grow
older
and
learn
more
about
the
ways
of
the
world
,
you
might
be
tempted
to
remember
today
with
embarrassment
,
even
shame
.
But
do
n't
remember
today
like
that
,
Meggie
.
There
's
absolutely
nothing
shameful
or
embarrassing
about
it
.
In
this
,
as
in
everything
I
do
,
I
am
simply
the
instrument
of
Our
Lord
.
It
is
my
only
function
on
this
earth
;
I
must
admit
no
other
.
You
were
very
frightened
,
you
needed
help
,
and
Our
Lord
has
sent
you
that
help
in
my
person
.
Remember
that
alone
,
Meggie
.
I
am
Our
Lord
's
priest
,
and
I
speak
in
His
Name
.
"
You
're
only
doing
what
all
women
do
,
Meggie
.
Once
a
month
for
several
days
you
'll
pass
blood
.
It
starts
usually
around
twelve
or
thirteen
years
of
age
--
how
old
are
you
,
as
much
as
that
?
"
"
I
'm
fifteen
,
Father
.
"
"
Fifteen
?
You
?
"
He
shook
his
head
,
only
half
believing
her
.
"
Well
,
if
you
say
you
are
,
I
'll
have
to
take
your
word
for
it
.
In
which
case
you
're
later
than
most
girls
.
But
it
continues
every
month
until
you
're
about
fifty
,
and
in
some
women
it
's
as
regular
as
the
phases
of
the
moon
,
in
others
it
's
not
so
predictable
.
Some
women
have
no
pain
with
it
,
others
suffer
a
lot
of
pain
.
No
one
knows
why
it
's
so
different
from
one
woman
to
another
.
But
to
pass
blood
every
month
is
a
sign
that
you
're
mature
.
Do
you
know
what
'
mature
'
means
?
"
"
Of
course
,
Father
!
I
read
!
It
means
grown
up
.
"
"
All
right
,
that
will
do
.
While
ever
the
bleeding
persists
,
you
're
capable
of
having
children
.
The
bleeding
is
a
part
of
the
cycle
of
procreation
.
In
the
days
before
the
Fall
,
it
is
said
Eve
did
n't
menstruate
.
The
proper
name
for
it
is
menstruation
,
to
menstruate
.
But
when
Adam
and
Eve
fell
,
God
punished
the
woman
more
than
He
did
the
man
,
because
it
was
really
her
fault
they
fell
.
She
tempted
the
man
.
Do
you
remember
the
words
in
your
Bible
history
?
'
In
sorrow
thou
shalt
bring
forth
children
.
'
What
God
meant
was
that
for
a
woman
everything
having
to
do
with
children
involves
pain
.
Great
joy
,
but
also
great
pain
.
It
is
your
lot
,
Meggie
,
and
you
must
accept
it
.
