A
red
English
sports
car
roared
off
the
Dunny
road
and
up
the
long
,
hilly
drive
;
it
was
new
and
expensive
,
its
bonnet
strapped
down
with
leather
,
its
silver
exhausts
and
scarlet
paintwork
glittering
.
For
a
while
she
did
n't
recognize
the
man
who
vaulted
over
the
low
door
,
for
he
wore
the
North
Queensland
uniform
of
a
pair
of
shorts
and
nothing
else
.
My
word
,
what
a
beautiful
bloke
!
she
thought
,
watching
him
appreciatively
and
with
a
twinge
of
memory
as
he
took
the
steps
two
at
a
time
.
I
wish
Luddie
would
n't
eat
so
much
;
he
could
do
with
a
bit
of
this
chap
's
condition
.
Now
,
he
's
no
chicken
--
look
at
those
marvelous
silver
temples
--
but
I
've
never
seen
a
cane
cutter
in
better
nick
.
When
the
calm
,
aloof
eyes
looked
into
hers
,
she
realized
who
he
was
.
"
My
God
!
"
she
said
,
and
dropped
the
baby
's
bottle
.
He
retrieved
it
,
handed
it
to
her
and
leaned
against
the
veranda
railing
,
facing
her
:
"
It
's
all
right
.
The
teat
did
n't
strike
the
ground
;
you
can
feed
her
with
it
.
"
The
baby
was
just
beginning
a
deprived
quiver
.
Anne
stuck
the
rubber
in
her
mouth
and
got
enough
breath
back
to
speak
.
"
Well
,
Your
Grace
,
this
is
a
surprise
!
"
Her
eyes
slid
over
him
,
amused
.
"
I
must
say
you
do
n't
exactly
look
like
an
archbishop
.
Not
that
you
ever
did
,
even
in
the
proper
togs
.
I
always
imagine
archbishops
of
any
religious
denomination
to
be
fat
and
self-satisfied
.
"
"
At
the
moment
I
'm
not
an
archbishop
,
only
a
priest
on
a
wellearned
holiday
,
so
you
can
call
me
Ralph
.
Is
this
the
little
thing
caused
Meggie
so
much
trouble
when
I
was
here
last
?
May
I
have
her
?
I
think
I
can
manage
to
hold
the
bottle
at
the
appropriate
angle
.
"
He
settled
into
a
chair
alongside
Anne
,
took
baby
and
bottle
and
continued
to
feed
her
,
his
legs
crossed
casually
.
"
Did
Meggie
name
her
Justine
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
