I
do
n't
see
what
's
so
strange
about
it
,
"
said
Anne
.
"
After
all
,
what
could
you
expect
from
the
men
?
Stuck
out
here
as
shy
as
kangas
,
never
meeting
the
girls
they
might
have
married
.
And
with
Jims
and
Patsy
,
the
war
to
boot
.
Could
you
see
Jims
marrying
when
he
knows
Patsy
ca
n't
?
They
're
far
too
fond
of
each
other
for
that
.
And
besides
,
the
land
's
demanding
in
a
neutered
way
.
It
takes
just
about
all
they
've
got
to
give
,
because
I
do
n't
think
they
have
a
great
deal
.
In
a
physical
sense
,
I
mean
.
Has
n't
it
ever
struck
you
,
Meggie
?
Yours
is
n't
a
very
highly
sexed
family
,
to
put
it
bluntly
.
And
that
goes
for
Dane
and
Justine
,
too
.
I
mean
,
there
are
some
people
who
compulsively
hunt
it
like
tomcats
,
but
not
your
lot
.
Though
perhaps
Justine
will
marry
.
There
's
this
German
chap
Rainer
;
she
seems
terribly
fond
of
him
.
"
"
You
've
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
,
"
said
Meggie
,
in
no
mood
to
be
comforted
.
"
She
seems
terribly
fond
of
him
.
Just
that
.
After
all
,
she
's
known
him
for
seven
years
.
If
she
wanted
to
marry
him
,
it
would
have
happened
ages
ago
.
"
"
Would
it
?
I
know
Justine
pretty
well
,
"
answered
Anne
truthfully
,
for
she
did
;
better
than
anyone
else
on
Drogheda
,
including
Meggie
and
Fee
.
"
I
think
she
's
terrified
of
committing
herself
to
the
kind
of
love
marriage
would
entail
,
and
I
must
say
I
admire
Rainer
.
He
seems
to
understand
her
very
well
.
Oh
,
I
do
n't
say
he
's
in
love
with
her
for
sure
,
but
if
he
is
,
at
least
he
's
got
the
sense
to
wait
until
she
's
ready
to
take
the
plunge
.
"
She
leaned
forward
,
her
book
falling
forgotten
to
the
tiles
.
"
Oh
,
will
you
listen
to
that
bird
?
I
'm
sure
even
a
nightingale
could
n't
match
it
.
"
Then
she
said
what
she
had
been
wanting
to
say
for
weeks
.
"
Meggie
,
why
wo
n't
you
go
to
Rome
to
see
Dane
ordained
?
Is
n't
that
peculiar
?
Dane
--
ordain
.
"
"
I
'm
not
going
to
Rome
!
"
said
Meggie
between
clenched
teeth
.
"
I
shall
never
leave
Drogheda
again
.
"
"
Meggie
,
do
n't
!
You
ca
n't
disappoint
him
so
!
Go
,
please
!
If
you
do
n't
,
Drogheda
wo
n't
have
a
single
woman
there
,
because
you
're
the
only
woman
young
enough
to
take
the
flight
.
But
I
tell
you
,
if
I
thought
for
one
minute
my
body
would
survive
I
'd
be
right
on
that
plane
.
"
"
Go
to
Rome
and
see
Ralph
de
Bricassart
smirking
?
I
'd
rather
be
dead
!
"
"
Oh
,
Meggie
,
Meggie
!
Why
must
you
take
out
your
frustrations
on
him
,
and
on
your
son
?
You
said
it
once
yourself
--
it
's
your
own
fault
.
So
beggar
your
pride
,
and
go
to
Rome
.
Please
!
"
"
It
is
n't
a
question
of
pride
.
"
She
shivered
.
"
Oh
,
Anne
,
I
'm
frightened
to
go
!
Because
I
do
n't
believe
it
,
I
just
do
n't
!
My
flesh
creeps
when
I
think
about
it
.
