He
shrugged
,
dying
to
get
away
.
"
I
do
n't
care
.
Oh
,
tell
her
to
hang
on
a
while
longer
.
Now
that
she
's
gone
ahead
with
the
family
business
,
I
would
n't
mind
a
son
.
"
Leaning
against
the
wall
for
support
,
Anne
bent
over
the
wicker
basket
and
lifted
the
baby
up
,
then
managed
to
shuffle
to
the
bed
and
sit
down
.
Luke
made
no
move
to
help
her
,
or
take
the
baby
;
he
looked
rather
frightened
of
his
daughter
.
"
Go
away
,
Luke
!
You
do
n't
deserve
what
you
've
got
.
I
'm
sick
of
the
sight
of
you
.
Go
back
to
bloody
Arne
,
and
the
flaming
sugar
,
and
the
backbreak
!
"
At
the
door
he
paused
.
"
What
did
she
call
it
?
I
've
forgotten
its
name
.
"
"
Justine
,
Justine
,
Justine
!
"
"
Bloody
stupid
name
,
"
he
said
,
and
went
out
.
Anne
put
Justine
on
the
bed
and
burst
into
tears
.
God
damn
all
men
but
Luddie
,
God
damn
them
!
Was
it
the
soft
,
sentimental
,
almost
womanish
streak
in
Luddie
made
him
capable
of
loving
?
Was
Luke
right
?
Was
it
just
a
figment
of
women
's
imaginations
?
Or
was
it
something
only
women
were
able
to
feel
,
or
men
with
a
little
woman
in
them
?
No
woman
could
ever
hold
Luke
,
no
woman
ever
had
.
What
he
wanted
no
woman
could
ever
give
him
.
But
by
the
next
day
she
had
calmed
down
,
no
longer
feeling
she
had
tried
for
nothing
.
A
postcard
from
Meggie
had
come
that
morning
,
waxing
enthusiastic
about
Matlock
Island
and
how
well
she
was
.
Something
good
had
come
out
of
it
.
Meggie
was
feeling
better
.
She
would
come
back
as
the
monsoons
diminished
and
be
able
to
face
her
life
.
But
Anne
resolved
not
to
tell
her
about
Luke
.
So
Nancy
,
short
for
Annunziata
,
carried
Justine
out
onto
the
front
veranda
,
while
Anne
hobbled
out
with
the
baby
's
wants
in
a
little
basket
between
her
teeth
;
clean
diaper
,
tin
of
powder
and
toys
.
She
settled
in
a
cane
chair
,
took
the
baby
from
Nancy
and
began
to
feed
her
from
the
bottle
of
Lactogen
Nancy
had
warmed
.
It
was
very
pleasant
,
life
was
very
pleasant
;
she
had
done
her
best
to
make
Luke
see
sense
,
and
if
she
had
failed
,
at
least
it
meant
Meggie
and
Justine
would
remain
at
Himmelhoch
a
while
longer
.
She
had
no
doubt
that
eventually
Meggie
would
realize
there
was
no
hope
of
salvaging
her
relationship
with
Luke
,
and
would
then
return
to
Drogheda
.
But
Anne
dreaded
the
day
.
