There
's
no
point
in
our
renting
a
house
,
Meg
.
I
'm
going
to
cut
cane
;
it
's
all
arranged
.
The
best
gang
of
cutters
in
Queensland
is
a
gang
of
Swedes
,
Poles
and
Irish
led
by
a
bloke
called
Arne
Swenson
,
and
while
you
were
sleeping
off
the
journey
I
went
to
see
him
.
He
's
a
man
short
and
he
's
willing
to
give
me
a
trial
.
That
means
I
'll
be
living
in
barracks
with
them
.
We
cut
six
days
a
week
,
sunrise
to
sunset
.
Not
only
that
,
but
we
move
around
up
and
down
the
coast
,
wherever
the
next
job
takes
us
.
How
much
I
earn
depends
on
how
much
sugar
I
cut
,
and
if
I
'm
good
enough
to
cut
with
Arne
's
gang
I
'll
be
pulling
in
more
than
twenty
quid
a
week
.
Twenty
quid
a
week
!
Can
you
imagine
that
?
"
"
Are
you
trying
to
tell
me
we
wo
n't
be
living
togther
,
Luke
?
"
"
We
ca
n't
,
Meg
!
The
men
wo
n't
have
a
woman
in
the
barracks
,
and
what
's
the
use
of
your
living
alone
in
a
house
?
You
may
as
well
work
,
too
;
it
's
all
money
toward
our
station
.
"
"
But
where
will
I
live
?
What
sort
of
work
can
I
do
?
There
's
no
stock
to
drove
up
here
.
"
"
No
,
more
's
the
pity
.
That
's
why
I
've
got
you
a
live-in
job
,
Meg
.
You
'll
get
free
board
,
I
wo
n't
have
the
expense
of
keeping
you
.
You
're
going
to
work
as
a
housemaid
on
Himmelhoch
,
Ludwig
Mueller
's
place
.
He
's
the
biggest
cane
cocky
in
the
district
and
his
wife
's
an
invalid
,
ca
n't
manage
the
house
on
her
own
.
I
'll
take
you
there
tomorrow
morning
.
"
"
But
when
will
I
see
you
,
Luke
?
"
"
On
Sundays
.
Luddie
understands
you
're
married
;
he
does
n't
mind
if
you
disappear
on
Sundays
.
"
"
Well
!
You
've
certainly
arranged
things
to
your
satisfaction
,
have
n't
you
?
"
"
I
reckon
.
Oh
,
Meg
,
we
're
going
to
be
rich
!
We
'll
work
hard
and
save
every
penny
,
and
it
wo
n't
be
long
before
we
can
buy
ourselves
the
best
station
in
Western
Queensland
.
There
's
the
fourteen
thousand
I
've
got
in
the
Gilly
bank
,
the
two
thousand
a
year
more
coming
in
there
,
and
the
thirteen
hundred
or
more
a
year
we
can
earn
between
us
.
It
wo
n't
be
long
,
love
,
I
promise
.
Grin
and
bear
it
for
me
,
eh
?
Why
be
content
with
a
rented
house
when
the
harder
we
work
now
means
the
sooner
you
'll
be
looking
around
your
own
kitchen
?
"
"
If
it
's
what
you
want
.
"
She
looked
down
at
her
purse
.
"
Luke
,
did
you
take
my
hundred
pounds
?
