After
that
chance
meeting
Meggie
kept
her
ears
open
for
opinions
and
gossip
about
Luke
O'Neill
.
Bob
and
the
boys
were
pleased
with
his
work
and
seemed
to
get
along
well
with
him
;
apparently
he
had
n't
a
lazy
bone
in
his
body
,
according
to
Bob
.
Even
Fee
brought
his
name
up
in
conversation
one
evening
by
remarking
that
he
was
a
very
handsome
man
.
"
Does
he
remind
you
of
anyone
?
"
Meggie
asked
idly
,
flat
on
her
stomach
on
the
carpet
reading
a
book
.
Fee
considered
the
question
for
a
moment
.
"
Well
,
I
suppose
he
's
a
bit
like
Father
de
Bricassart
.
The
same
build
,
the
same
coloring
.
But
it
is
n't
a
striking
likeness
;
they
're
too
different
as
men
.
"
Meggie
,
I
wish
you
'd
sit
in
a
chair
like
a
lady
to
read
!
Just
because
you
're
in
jodhpurs
you
do
n't
have
to
forget
modesty
entirely
.
"
"
Pooh
!
"
said
Meggie
.
"
As
if
anyone
notices
!
"
And
so
it
went
.
There
was
a
likeness
,
but
the
men
behind
the
faces
were
so
unalike
only
Meggie
was
plagued
by
it
,
for
she
was
in
love
with
one
of
them
and
resented
finding
the
other
attractive
.
In
the
kitchen
she
found
he
was
a
prime
favorite
,
and
also
discovered
how
he
could
afford
the
luxury
of
wearing
white
shirts
and
white
breeches
into
the
paddocks
;
Mrs.
Smith
washed
and
ironed
them
for
him
,
succumbing
to
his
ready
,
beguiling
charm
.
"
Och
,
what
a
fine
Irishman
he
is
and
all
!
"
Minnie
sighed
ecstatically
.
"
He
's
an
Australian
,
"
said
Meggie
provocatively
.
"
Born
here
,
maybe
,
Miss
Meggie
darlin
'
,
but
wit
'
a
name
like
O'Neill
now
,
he
's
as
Irish
as
Paddy
's
pigs
,
not
meanin
'
any
disrespect
to
yer
sainted
father
,
Miss
Meggie
,
may
he
rest
in
peace
and
sing
wit
'
the
angels
.
Mr.
Luke
not
Irish
,
and
him
wit
'
that
black
hair
,
thim
blue
eyes
?
In
the
old
days
the
O'Neills
was
the
kings
of
Ireland
.
"
"
I
thought
the
O'Connors
were
,
"
said
Meggie
slyly
.
