What
had
been
the
matter
with
her
,
to
doubt
him
so
?
She
was
so
ashamed
of
herself
she
felt
like
jabbing
the
big
darning
needle
into
her
leg
,
but
she
was
too
happy
to
contemplate
self-infliction
of
pain
for
very
long
,
and
anyway
,
it
was
just
an
extravagant
way
of
expressing
her
remorse
.
Her
face
shone
.
"
Oh
,
Daddy
,
I
'll
love
it
!
"
"
What
about
me
,
Daddy
?
"
asked
Stuart
.
"
The
girls
do
n't
need
you
around
the
house
anymore
,
so
you
'll
be
out
in
the
paddocks
again
,
Stu
.
"
"
All
right
,
Daddy
.
"
He
looked
at
Fee
longingly
,
but
said
nothing
.

Fee
and
Meggie
learned
to
drive
the
new
Rolls-Royce
Mary
Carson
had
taken
delivery
of
a
week
before
she
died
,
and
Meggie
learned
to
work
the
dogs
while
Fee
learned
to
keep
the
books
.
If
it
had
n't
been
for
Father
Ralph
's
continued
absence
,
Meggie
for
one
would
have
been
absolutely
happy
.
This
was
what
she
had
always
longed
to
do
:
be
out
there
in
the
paddocks
astride
a
horse
,
doing
stockman
's
work
.
Yet
the
ache
for
Father
Ralph
was
always
there
,
too
,
the
memory
of
his
kiss
something
to
be
dreamed
about
,
treasured
,
felt
again
a
thousand
times
.
However
,
memory
was
n't
a
patch
on
reality
;
try
as
she
would
,
the
actual
sensation
could
n't
be
conjured
up
,
only
a
shadow
of
it
,
like
a
thin
sad
cloud
.
When
he
wrote
to
tell
them
about
Frank
,
her
hopes
that
he
would
use
this
as
a
pretext
to
visit
them
were
abruptly
shatttered
.
His
description
of
the
trip
to
see
,
Frank
in
Goulburn
Gaol
was
carefully
worded
,
stripped
of
the
pain
it
had
engendered
,
giving
no
hint
of
Frank
's
steadily
worsening
psychosis
.
He
had
tried
vainly
to
have
Frank
committed
to
Morisset
asylum
for
the
criminally
insane
,
but
no
one
had
listened
.
So
he
simply
passed
on
an
idealistic
image
of
a
Frank
resigned
to
paying
for
his
sins
to
society
,
and
in
a
passage
heavily
underlined
told
Paddy
Frank
had
no
idea
they
knew
what
had
happened
.
It
had
come
to
his
ears
,
he
assured
Frank
,
through
Sydney
newspapers
,
and
he
would
make
sure
the
family
never
knew
.
After
being
told
this
,
Frank
settled
better
,
he
said
,
and
left
it
at
that
.
