Though
by
birth
he
is
an
Irishman
,
and
though
it
seems
he
will
not
exert
his
influence
as
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
in
Australia
,
we
still
feel
that
to
a
large
extent
Australia
may
rightly
claim
this
remarkable
man
as
her
own
.
Meggie
handed
the
paper
back
to
Fee
,
and
smiled
at
her
mother
ruefully
.
"
One
must
congratulate
him
,
as
I
said
to
the
Herald
reporter
.
They
did
n't
print
that
,
did
they
?
Though
they
printed
your
little
eulogy
almost
verbatim
,
I
see
.
What
a
barbed
tongue
you
've
got
!
At
least
I
know
where
Justine
gets
it
from
.
I
wonder
how
many
people
will
be
smart
enough
to
read
between
the
lines
of
what
you
said
?
"
"
He
will
,
anyway
,
if
he
ever
sees
it
.
"
"
I
wonder
does
he
remember
us
?
"
Meggie
sighed
.
"
Undoubtedly
.
After
all
,
he
still
finds
time
to
administer
Drogheda
himself
.
Of
course
he
remembers
us
,
Meggie
.
How
could
he
forget
?
"
"
True
,
I
had
forgotten
Drogheda
.
We
're
right
up
there
on
top
of
the
earnings
,
are
n't
we
?
He
must
be
very
pleased
.
With
our
wool
at
a
pound
per
pound
in
the
auctions
,
the
Drogheda
wool
check
this
year
must
have
made
even
the
gold
mines
look
sick
.
Talk
about
Golden
Fleece
.
Over
four
million
pounds
,
just
from
shaving
our
baa-lambs
.
"
"
Do
n't
be
cynical
,
Meggie
,
it
does
n't
suit
you
,
"
said
Fee
;
her
manner
toward
Meggie
these
days
,
though
often
mildly
withering
,
was
tempered
with
respect
and
affection
.
"
We
've
done
well
enough
,
have
n't
we
?
Do
n't
forget
we
get
our
money
every
year
,
good
or
bad
.
Did
n't
he
pay
Bob
a
hundred
thousand
as
a
bonus
,
the
rest
of
us
fifty
thousand
each
?
If
he
threw
us
off
Drogheda
tomorrow
we
could
afford
to
buy
Bugela
,
even
at
today
's
inflated
land
prices
.
And
how
much
has
he
given
your
children
?
Thousands
upon
thousands
.
Be
fair
to
him
.
"
"
But
my
children
do
n't
know
it
,
and
they
're
not
going
to
find
out
.
Dane
and
Justine
will
grow
up
to
think
they
must
make
their
own
ways
in
the
world
,
without
benefit
of
dear
Ralph
Raoul
,
Cardinal
de
Bricassart
.
Fancy
his
second
name
being
Raoul
!
Very
Norman
,
is
n't
it
?
