Wiping
the
grin
off
his
face
hastily
,
Paddy
stared
at
the
far
wall
for
a
moment
to
compose
himself
,
then
turned
toward
Meggie
.
"
All
excited
about
going
to
school
,
eh
?
"
"
I
do
n't
know
.
She
was
sick
before
they
left
this
morning
,
and
it
held
them
up
long
enough
to
be
late
for
the
bell
.
They
all
got
sixers
,
but
Meggie
was
terribly
upset
because
she
thought
she
ought
to
have
been
the
only
one
punished
.
After
lunch
Sister
Ag
pounced
on
her
again
,
and
our
Meggie
spewed
bread
and
jam
all
over
Sister
Ag
's
clean
black
habit
.
"
"
What
happened
then
?
"
"
Sister
Ag
caned
her
good
and
proper
,
and
sent
her
home
in
disgrace
.
"
"
Well
,
I
'd
say
she
's
had
punishment
enough
.
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
the
nuns
and
I
know
it
is
n't
our
place
to
question
what
they
do
,
but
I
wish
they
were
a
bit
less
eager
with
the
cane
.
I
know
they
have
to
beat
the
three
R
's
into
our
thick
Irish
heads
,
but
after
all
,
it
was
wee
Meggie
's
first
day
at
school
.
"
Frank
was
staring
at
his
father
,
amazed
.
Not
until
this
moment
had
Paddy
ever
communicated
man-to-man
with
his
oldest
son
.
Shocked
out
of
perpetual
resentment
,
Frank
realized
that
for
all
his
proud
boasting
,
Paddy
loved
Meggie
more
than
he
did
his
sons
.
He
found
himself
almost
liking
his
father
,
so
he
smiled
without
the
mistrust
.
"
She
's
a
bonzer
little
thing
,
is
n't
she
?
"
he
asked
.
Paddy
nodded
absently
,
engrossed
in
watching
her
.
The
horse
blew
its
lips
in
and
out
,
flapping
;
Meggie
stirred
,
rolled
over
and
opened
her
eyes
.
When
she
saw
her
father
standing
beside
Frank
she
sat
bolt
upright
,
fright
paling
her
skin
.
"
Well
,
Meggie
girl
,
you
've
had
quite
a
day
,
have
n't
you
?
"
Paddy
went
over
and
lifted
her
out
of
the
hay
,
gasping
as
he
caught
a
whiff
of
her
.
Then
he
shrugged
his
shoulders
and
held
her
against
him
hard
.
