A
nice
bride
you
are
!
Here
I
am
looking
forward
to
my
honeymoon
and
my
wife
conks
out
for
nearly
two
days
!
I
was
a
bit
worried
when
I
could
n't
wake
you
up
,
but
the
publican
says
it
hits
women
like
that
,
the
trip
up
in
the
train
and
the
humidity
.
He
said
just
let
you
sleep
it
off
.
How
do
you
feel
now
?
"
She
sat
up
stiffly
,
stretched
her
arms
and
yawned
,
"
I
feel
much
better
,
thank
you
.
Oh
,
Luke
!
I
know
I
'm
young
and
strong
,
but
I
'm
a
woman
!
I
ca
n't
take
the
sort
of
physical
punishment
you
can
.
"
He
came
to
sit
on
the
edge
of
the
bed
,
rubbing
her
arm
in
a
rather
charming
gesture
of
contrition
.
"
I
'm
sorry
,
Meghann
,
I
really
am
.
I
did
n't
think
of
your
being
a
woman
.
Not
used
to
having
a
wife
with
me
,
that
's
all
.
Are
you
hungry
,
darling
?
"
"
Starved
.
Do
you
realize
it
's
almost
a
week
since
I
've
eaten
?
"
"
Then
why
do
n't
you
have
a
bath
,
put
on
a
clean
dress
and
come
outside
to
look
at
Dungloe
?
"
There
was
a
Chinese
café
next
door
to
the
hotel
,
where
Luke
led
Meggie
for
her
first-ever
taste
of
Oriental
food
.
She
was
so
hungry
anything
would
have
tasted
good
,
but
this
was
superb
.
Nor
did
she
care
if
it
was
made
of
rats
'
tails
and
sharks
'
fins
and
fowls
'
bowels
,
as
rumor
had
it
in
Gillanbone
,
which
only
possessed
a
café
run
by
Greeks
who
served
steak
and
chips
.
Luke
had
brown-bagged
two
quart
bottles
of
beer
from
the
hotel
and
insisted
she
drink
a
glass
in
spite
of
her
dislike
for
beer
.
"
Go
easy
on
the
water
at
first
,
"
he
advised
.
"
Beer
wo
n't
give
you
the
trots
.
"
Then
he
took
her
arm
and
walked
her
around
Dungloe
proudly
,
as
if
he
owned
it
.
But
then
,
Luke
was
born
a
Queenslander
.
What
a
place
Dungloe
was
!
It
had
a
look
and
a
character
far
removed
from
western
towns
.
In
size
it
was
probably
the
same
as
Gilly
,
but
instead
of
rambling
forever
down
one
main
street
,
Dungloe
was
built
in
ordered
square
blocks
,
and
all
its
shops
and
houses
were
painted
white
,
not
brown
.
Windows
were
vertical
wooden
transoms
,
presumably
to
catch
the
breeze
,
and
wherever
possible
roofs
had
been
dispensed
with
,
like
the
movie
theater
,
which
had
a
screen
,
transomed
walls
and
rows
of
ship
's
canvas
desk
chairs
,
but
no
roof
at
all
.
All
around
the
edge
of
the
town
encroached
a
genuine
jungle
.
Vines
and
creepers
sprawled
everywhere
--
up
posts
,
across
roofs
,
along
walls
.
