Very
gently
he
took
her
pointed
face
between
his
hands
,
smiling
down
at
her
with
so
much
love
that
her
own
hands
came
up
to
clutch
at
his
wrists
,
soak
it
in
through
every
pore
.
As
if
all
those
childhood
years
were
remembered
,
treasured
.
Yet
behind
what
she
saw
in
his
eyes
on
her
behalf
she
sensed
a
shadowy
doubt
,
only
perhaps
doubt
was
too
strong
a
word
;
more
like
anxiety
.
Mostly
he
was
sure
Mum
would
understand
eventually
,
but
he
was
human
,
though
all
save
he
tended
to
forget
the
fact
.
"
Jus
,
will
you
do
something
for
me
?
"
he
asked
as
he
let
her
go
.
"
Anything
,
"
she
said
,
meaning
it
.
"
I
've
got
a
sort
of
respite
,
to
think
about
what
I
'm
going
to
do
.
Two
months
.
And
I
'm
going
to
do
the
heavy
thinking
on
a
Drogheda
horse
after
I
've
talked
to
Mum
--
somehow
I
feel
I
ca
n't
sort
anything
out
until
after
I
've
talked
to
her
.
But
first
,
well
...
I
've
got
to
get
up
my
courage
to
go
home
.
So
if
you
could
manage
it
,
come
down
to
the
Peloponnese
with
me
for
a
couple
of
weeks
,
tick
me
off
good
and
proper
about
being
a
coward
until
I
get
so
sick
of
your
voice
I
put
myself
on
a
plane
to
get
away
from
it
.
"
He
smiled
at
her
.
"
Besides
,
Jussy
,
I
do
n't
want
you
to
think
I
'm
going
to
exclude
you
from
my
life
absolutely
,
any
more
than
I
will
Mum
.
You
need
your
old
conscience
around
occasionally
.
"
"
Oh
,
Dane
,
of
course
I
'll
go
!
"
"
Good
,
"
he
said
,
then
grinned
,
eyed
her
mischievously
.
"
I
really
do
need
you
,
Jus
.
Having
you
bitching
in
my
ear
will
be
just
like
old
times
.
"
"
Uh-uh-uh
!
No
obscenities
,
Father
O'Neill
!
"
His
arms
went
behind
his
head
,
he
leaned
back
on
the
couch
contentedly
.
"
I
am
!
Is
n't
it
marvelous
?
And
maybe
after
I
've
seen
Mum
,
I
can
concentrate
on
Our
Lord
.
I
think
that
's
where
my
inclinations
lie
,
you
know
.
Simply
thinking
about
Our
Lord
.
"
"
You
ought
to
have
espoused
an
order
,
Dane
.
