Would
you
rather
have
a
room
in
the
big
house
,
Frank
,
or
a
guesthouse
all
to
yourself
?
"
his
mother
asked
.
"
I
'll
take
a
guesthouse
,
thanks
.
"
The
exhausted
eyes
rested
on
her
face
.
"
It
will
be
nice
to
be
able
to
get
away
from
people
,
"
he
explained
.
That
was
the
only
reference
he
ever
made
to
conditions
in
jail
.
"
I
think
it
will
be
better
for
you
,
"
she
said
,
leading
the
way
into
her
drawing
room
.
"
The
big
house
is
pretty
full
at
the
moment
,
what
with
the
Cardinal
here
,
Dane
and
Justine
home
,
and
Luddie
and
Anne
Mueller
arriving
the
day
after
tomorrow
for
Christmas
.
"
She
pulled
the
bell
cord
for
tea
and
went
quickly
round
the
room
lighting
the
kerosene
lamps
.
"
Luddie
and
Anne
Mueller
?
"
he
asked
.
She
stopped
in
the
act
of
turning
up
a
wick
,
looked
at
him
.
"
It
's
been
a
long
time
,
Frank
.
The
Muellers
are
friends
of
Meggie
's
.
"
The
lamp
trimmed
to
her
satisfaction
,
she
sat
down
in
her
wing
chair
.
"
We
'll
have
dinner
in
an
hour
,
but
first
we
'll
have
a
cup
of
tea
.
I
have
to
wash
the
dust
of
the
road
out
of
my
mouth
.
"
Frank
seated
himself
awkwardly
on
the
edge
of
one
of
the
cream
silk
ottomans
,
gazing
at
the
room
in
awe
.
"
It
looks
so
different
from
the
days
of
Auntie
Mary
.
"
Fee
smiled
.
"
Well
,
I
think
so
,
"
she
said
.
Then
Meggie
came
in
,
and
it
was
harder
to
assimilate
the
fact
of
Meggie
grown
into
a
mature
woman
than
to
see
his
mother
old
.
As
his
sister
hugged
and
kissed
him
he
turned
his
face
away
,
shrank
inside
his
baggy
coat
and
searched
beyond
her
to
his
mother
,
who
sat
looking
at
him
as
if
to
say
:
It
does
n't
matter
,
it
will
all
seem
normal
soon
,
just
give
it
time
.
A
minute
later
,
while
he
was
still
searching
for
something
to
say
to
this
stranger
,
Meggie
's
daughter
came
in
;
a
tall
,
skinny
young
girl
who
sat
down
stiffly
,
her
big
hands
pleating
folds
in
her
dress
,
her
light
eyes
fixed
first
on
one
face
,
then
on
another
.
Meggie
's
son
entered
with
the
Cardinal
and
went
to
sit
on
the
floor
beside
his
sister
,
a
beautiful
,
calmly
aloof
boy
.
"
Frank
,
this
is
marvelous
,
"
said
Cardinal
Ralph
,
shaking
him
by
the
hand
,
then
turning
to
Fee
with
his
left
brow
raised
.
"
A
cup
of
tea
?
Very
good
idea
.
"
