Of
course
not
,
"
said
Fee
positively
.
"
People
do
n't
look
any
further
than
the
color
of
the
eyes
,
the
shape
of
the
nose
,
the
general
build
.
Like
enough
to
Luke
's
.
I
knew
because
I
'd
been
watching
you
and
Ralph
de
Bricassart
for
years
.
All
he
had
to
do
was
crook
his
little
finger
and
you
'd
have
gone
running
,
so
a
fig
for
your
'
it
's
against
the
laws
of
the
Church
'
when
it
comes
to
divorce
.
You
were
panting
to
break
a
far
more
serious
law
of
the
Church
than
the
one
about
divorce
.
Shameless
,
Meggie
,
that
's
what
you
were
.
Shameless
!
"
A
hint
of
hardness
crept
into
her
voice
.
"
But
he
was
a
stubborn
man
.
His
heart
was
set
on
being
a
perfect
priest
;
you
came
a
very
bad
second
.
Oh
,
idiocy
!
It
did
n't
do
him
any
good
,
did
it
?
It
was
only
a
matter
of
time
before
something
happened
.
"
Around
the
corner
of
the
veranda
someone
dropped
a
hammer
,
and
let
fly
with
a
string
of
curses
;
Fee
winced
,
shuddered
.
"
Dear
heaven
,
I
'll
be
glad
when
they
're
done
with
the
screening
!
"
She
got
back
to
the
subject
.
"
Did
you
think
you
fooled
me
when
you
would
n't
have
Ralph
de
Bricassart
to
marry
you
to
Luke
?
I
knew
.
You
wanted
him
as
the
bridegroom
,
not
as
the
officiating
cleric
.
Then
when
he
came
to
Drogheda
before
he
left
for
Athens
and
you
were
n't
here
,
I
knew
sooner
or
later
he
'd
have
to
go
and
find
you
.
He
wandered
around
the
place
as
lost
as
a
little
boy
at
the
Sydney
Royal
Easter
Show
.
Marrying
Luke
was
the
smartest
move
you
made
,
Meggie
.
As
long
as
he
knew
you
were
pining
for
him
Ralph
did
n't
want
you
,
but
the
minute
you
became
somebody
else
's
he
exhibited
all
the
classical
signs
of
the
dog
in
the
manger
.
Of
course
he
'd
convinced
himself
that
his
attachment
to
you
was
as
pure
as
the
driven
snow
,
but
the
fact
remained
that
he
needed
you
.
You
were
necessary
to
him
in
a
way
no
other
woman
ever
had
been
,
or
I
suspect
ever
will
be
.
Strange
,
"
said
Fee
with
real
puzzlement
.
"
I
always
wondered
what
on
earth
he
saw
in
you
,
but
I
suppose
mothers
are
always
a
little
blind
about
their
daughters
until
they
're
too
old
to
be
jealous
of
youth
.
You
are
about
Justine
,
the
same
as
I
was
about
you
.
"
She
leaned
back
in
her
chair
,
rocking
slightly
,
her
eyes
half
closed
,
but
she
watched
Meggie
like
a
scientist
his
specimen
.
"
Whatever
it
was
he
saw
in
you
,
"
she
went
on
,
"
he
saw
it
the
first
time
he
met
you
,
and
it
never
left
off
enchanting
him
.
The
hardest
thing
he
had
to
face
was
your
growing
up
,
but
he
faced
it
that
time
he
came
to
find
you
gone
,
married
.
Poor
Ralph
!
He
had
no
choice
but
to
look
for
you
.
And
he
did
find
you
,
did
n't
he
?
I
knew
it
when
you
came
home
,
before
Dane
was
born
.
Once
you
had
Ralph
de
Bricassart
it
was
n't
necessary
to
stay
any
longer
with
Luke
.
"
"
Yes
,
"
sighed
Meggie
,
"
Ralph
found
me
.
But
it
did
n't
solve
anything
for
us
,
did
it
?
I
knew
he
would
never
be
willing
to
give
up
his
God
.
It
was
for
that
reason
I
was
determined
to
have
the
only
part
of
him
I
ever
could
.
His
child
.
Dane
.
"
"
It
's
like
listening
to
an
echo
,
"
Fee
said
,
laughing
her
rusty
laugh
.
"
You
might
be
me
,
saying
that
.
"
"
Frank
?
"
The
chair
scraped
;
Fee
got
up
,
paced
the
tiles
,
came
back
and
stared
hard
at
her
daughter
.
"
Well
,
well
!
Tit
for
tat
,
eh
,
Meggie
?
How
long
have
you
known
?
"
"
Since
I
was
a
little
girl
.
Since
the
time
Frank
ran
away
.
