How
do
you
know
Meggie
,
Your
Grace
?
For
how
long
?
"
The
priest
smiled
wryly
and
clasped
his
thin
,
very
beautiful
hands
together
so
they
made
a
pointed
church
roof
.
"
I
've
known
Meggie
since
she
was
ten
years
old
,
only
days
off
the
boat
from
New
Zealand
.
You
might
in
all
truth
say
that
I
've
known
Meggie
through
flood
and
fire
and
emotional
famine
,
and
through
death
,
and
life
.
All
that
we
have
to
bear
.
Meggie
is
the
mirror
in
which
I
'm
forced
to
view
my
mortality
.
"
"
You
love
her
!
"
Anne
's
tone
was
surprised
.
"
Always
.
"
"
It
's
a
tragedy
for
both
of
you
.
"
"
I
had
hoped
only
for
me
.
Tell
me
about
her
,
what
's
happened
to
her
since
she
married
.
It
's
many
years
since
I
've
seen
her
,
but
I
have
n't
been
happy
about
her
.
"
"
I
'll
tell
you
,
but
only
after
you
've
told
me
about
Meggie
.
Oh
,
I
do
n't
mean
personal
things
,
only
about
what
sort
of
life
she
led
before
she
came
to
Dunny
.
We
know
absolutely
nothing
of
her
,
Luddie
and
I
,
except
that
she
used
to
live
somewhere
near
Gillanbone
.
We
'd
like
to
know
more
,
because
we
're
very
fond
of
her
.
But
she
would
never
tell
us
a
thing
--
pride
,
I
think
.
"
Luddie
carried
in
a
tray
loaded
with
tea
and
food
,
and
sat
down
while
the
priest
gave
them
an
outline
of
Meggie
's
life
before
she
married
Luke
.
"
I
would
never
have
guessed
it
in
a
million
years
!
To
think
Luke
O'Neill
had
the
temerity
to
take
her
from
all
that
and
put
her
to
work
as
a
housemaid
!
And
had
the
hide
to
stipulate
that
her
wages
be
put
in
his
bank-book
!
Do
you
know
the
poor
little
thing
has
never
had
a
penny
in
her
purse
to
spend
on
herself
since
she
's
been
here
?
I
had
Luddie
give
her
a
cash
bonus
last
Christmas
,
but
by
then
she
needed
so
many
things
it
was
all
spent
in
a
day
,
and
she
'd
never
take
more
from
us
.
