She
's
a
throwback
,
the
funny
little
thing
,
Does
n't
look
too
happy
,
does
she
?
"
"
How
could
she
look
happy
?
"
Anne
snapped
,
hanging
on
to
her
temper
grimly
.
"
She
's
never
seen
her
father
,
she
has
no
real
home
and
not
much
likelihood
of
one
before
she
's
grown
up
if
you
go
on
the
way
you
are
!
"
"
I
'm
saving
,
Anne
!
"
he
protested
.
"
Rubbish
!
I
know
how
much
money
you
've
got
.
Friends
of
mine
in
Charters
Towers
send
me
the
local
paper
from
time
to
time
,
so
I
've
seen
the
ads
for
western
properties
a
lot
closer
in
than
Kynuna
,
and
a
lot
more
fertile
.
There
's
a
Depression
on
,
Luke
!
You
could
pick
up
a
beauty
of
a
place
for
a
lot
less
by
far
than
the
amount
you
have
in
the
bank
,
and
you
know
it
.
"
"
Now
that
's
just
it
!
There
's
a
Depression
on
,
and
west
of
the
ranges
a
bloody
terrible
drought
from
Junee
to
the
Isa
.
It
's
in
its
second
year
and
there
's
no
rain
at
all
,
not
a
drop
.
Right
now
I
'll
bet
Drogheda
's
hurting
,
so
what
do
you
think
it
's
like
out
around
Winton
and
Blackall
?
No
,
I
reckon
I
ought
to
wait
.
"
"
Wait
until
the
price
of
land
goes
up
in
a
good
wet
season
?
Come
off
it
,
Luke
!
Now
's
the
time
to
buy
!
With
Meggie
's
assured
two
thousand
a
year
,
you
can
wait
out
a
ten-year
drought
!
Just
do
n't
stock
the
place
.
Live
on
Meggie
's
two
thousand
a
year
until
the
rains
come
,
then
put
your
stock
on
.
"
"
I
'm
not
ready
to
leave
the
sugar
yet
,
"
he
said
,
stubbornly
,
still
staring
at
his
daughter
's
strange
light
eyes
.
"
And
that
's
the
truth
at
last
,
is
n't
it
?
Why
do
n't
you
admit
it
,
Luke
?
You
do
n't
want
to
be
married
,
you
'd
rather
live
the
way
you
are
at
the
moment
,
hard
,
among
men
,
working
your
innards
out
,
just
like
one
out
of
every
two
Australian
men
I
've
ever
known
!
What
is
it
about
this
frigging
country
,
that
its
men
prefer
being
with
other
men
to
having
a
home
life
with
their
wives
and
children
?
If
the
bachelor
's
life
is
what
they
truly
want
,
why
on
earth
do
they
try
marriage
at
all
?
Do
you
know
how
many
deserted
wives
there
are
in
Dunny
alone
,
scraping
an
existence
and
trying
to
rear
their
children
without
fathers
?
Oh
,
he
's
just
off
in
the
sugar
,
he
'll
be
back
,
you
know
,
it
's
only
for
a
little
while
.
Hah
!
And
every
mail
they
're
there
hanging
over
the
front
gate
waiting
for
the
postie
,
hoping
the
bastard
's
sent
them
a
little
money
.
And
mostly
he
has
n't
,
sometimes
he
has
--
not
enough
,
but
something
to
keep
things
going
!
"
She
was
trembling
with
rage
,
her
gentle
brown
eyes
sparking
.
"
You
know
,
I
read
in
the
Brisbane
Mail
that
Australia
has
the
highest
percentage
of
deserted
wives
in
the
civilized
world
?
It
's
the
only
thing
we
beat
every
other
country
at
--
is
n't
that
a
record
to
be
proud
of
!
"
"
Go
easy
,
Anne
!
I
have
n't
deserted
Meg
;
she
's
safe
and
she
's
not
starving
.
