Even
so
racked
and
tortured
,
to
Jims
and
Patsy
the
land
was
ineffably
lovely
,
the
sheep
comforting
,
the
late
roses
in
the
garden
a
perfume
of
some
heaven
.
And
somehow
they
had
to
drink
of
it
all
so
deeply
they
'd
never
again
forget
,
for
that
first
going
away
had
been
a
careless
one
;
they
had
had
no
idea
what
it
would
be
like
.
When
they
left
this
time
it
would
be
with
every
moment
hoarded
to
remember
and
treasure
,
and
with
Drogheda
roses
pressed
into
their
wallets
along
with
a
few
blades
of
scarce
Drogheda
grass
.
To
Fee
they
were
kind
and
pitying
,
but
to
Meggie
,
Mrs.
Smith
,
Minnie
and
Cat
they
were
loving
,
very
tender
.
They
had
been
the
real
mothers
.
What
delighted
Meggie
most
was
the
way
they
loved
Dane
,
played
with
him
for
hours
,
took
him
with
them
for
rides
,
laughed
with
him
,
rolled
him
over
and
over
on
the
lawn
.
Justine
seemed
to
frighten
them
;
but
then
,
they
were
awkward
with
anyone
female
whom
they
did
n't
know
as
well
as
they
knew
the
older
women
.
Besides
which
,
poor
Justine
was
furiously
jealous
of
the
way
they
monopolized
Dane
's
company
,
for
it
meant
she
had
no
one
to
play
with
.
"
He
's
a
bonzer
little
bloke
,
Meggie
,
"
said
Jims
to
Meggie
when
she
came
out
onto
the
veranda
one
day
;
he
was
sitting
in
a
cane
chair
watching
Patsy
and
Dane
playing
on
the
lawn
.
"
Yes
,
he
is
a
little
beauty
,
is
n't
he
?
"
She
smiled
,
sitting
where
she
could
see
her
youngest
brother
.
Her
eyes
were
soft
with
pity
;
they
had
been
her
babies
,
too
.
"
What
's
the
matter
,
Jims
?
Ca
n't
you
tell
me
?
"
His
eyes
lifted
to
hers
,
wretched
with
some
deep
pain
,
but
he
shook
his
head
as
if
not
even
tempted
.
"
No
,
Meggie
.
It
is
n't
anything
I
could
ever
tell
a
woman
.
"
"
What
about
when
all
this
is
over
and
you
marry
?
Wo
n't
you
want
to
tell
your
wife
?
"
"
Us
marry
?
I
do
n't
think
so
.
War
takes
all
that
out
of
a
man
.
We
were
itching
to
go
,
but
we
're
wiser
now
.
If
we
married
we
'd
have
sons
,
and
for
what
?
See
them
grow
up
,
get
pushed
off
to
do
what
we
've
done
,
see
what
we
've
seen
?
"
"
Do
n't
,
Jims
,
do
n't
!
"
His
gaze
followed
hers
,
to
Dane
chuckling
in
glee
because
Patsy
was
holding
him
upside
down
.
"
Do
n't
ever
let
him
leave
Drogheda
,
Meggie
.
On
Drogheda
he
ca
n't
come
to
any
harm
,
"
said
Jims
.
