What
's
the
matter
,
Meggie
?
"
"
You
did
n't
speak
to
me
tonight
!
"
"
Ah
!
I
thought
that
might
be
it
.
Come
,
Meggie
,
look
at
me
!
"
Away
in
the
east
was
a
pearly
luster
,
a
fleeing
of
total
darkness
,
and
the
Drogheda
roosters
were
shrieking
an
early
welcome
to
the
dawn
.
So
he
could
see
that
not
even
protracted
tears
could
dim
the
loveliness
of
her
eyes
.
"
Meggie
,
you
were
by
far
the
prettiest
girl
at
the
party
,
and
it
's
well
known
that
I
come
to
Drogheda
more
often
than
I
need
.
I
am
a
priest
and
therefore
I
ought
to
be
above
suspicion
--
a
bit
like
Caesar
's
wife
--
but
I
'm
afraid
people
do
n't
think
so
purely
.
As
priests
go
I
'm
young
,
and
not
bad-looking
.
"
He
paused
to
think
how
Mary
Carson
would
have
greeted
that
bit
of
understatement
,
and
laughed
soundlessly
.
"
If
I
had
paid
you
a
skerrick
of
attention
it
would
have
been
all
over
Gilly
in
record
time
.
Every
party
line
in
the
district
would
have
been
buzzing
with
it
.
Do
you
know
what
I
mean
?
"
She
shook
her
head
;
the
cropped
curls
were
growing
brighter
in
the
advancing
light
.
"
Well
,
you
're
young
to
come
to
knowledge
of
the
ways
of
the
world
,
but
you
've
got
to
learn
,
and
it
always
seems
to
be
my
province
to
teach
you
,
does
n't
it
?
I
mean
people
would
be
saying
I
was
interested
in
you
as
a
man
,
not
as
a
priest
.
"
"
Father
!
"
"
Dreadful
,
is
n't
it
?
"
He
smiled
.
"
But
that
's
what
people
would
say
,
I
assure
you
.
You
see
,
Meggie
,
you
're
not
a
little
girl
anymore
,
you
're
a
young
lady
.
But
you
have
n't
learned
yet
to
hide
your
affection
for
me
,
so
had
I
stopped
to
speak
to
you
with
all
those
people
looking
on
,
you
'd
have
stared
at
me
in
a
way
which
might
have
been
misconstrued
.
