Hello
,
Justine
,
"
Meggie
said
,
not
perturbed
.
Jussy
called
,
infrequently
,
to
see
how
everything
was
.
"
Mum
?
Is
that
you
,
Mum
?
"
"
Yes
,
it
's
Mum
here
,
"
said
Meggie
gently
,
sensing
Justine
's
distress
.

"
Oh
,
Mum
!
Oh
,
Mum
!
"
There
was
what
sounded
like
a
gasp
,
or
a
sob
.
"
Mum
,
Dane
's
dead
.
Dane
's
dead
!
"
A
pit
opened
at
her
feet
.
Down
and
down
and
down
it
went
,
and
had
no
bottom
.
Meggie
slid
into
it
,
felt
its
lips
close
over
her
head
,
and
understood
that
she
would
never
come
out
again
as
long
as
she
lived
.
What
more
could
the
gods
do
?
She
had
n't
known
when
she
asked
it
.
How
could
she
have
asked
it
,
how
could
she
not
have
known
?
Do
n't
tempt
the
gods
,
they
love
it
.
In
not
going
to
see
him
in
this
most
beautiful
moment
of
his
life
,
share
it
with
him
,
she
had
finally
thought
to
make
the
payment
.
Dane
would
be
free
of
it
,
and
free
of
her
.
In
not
seeing
the
face
which
was
dearer
to
her
than
all
other
faces
,
she
would
repay
.
The
pit
closed
in
,
suffocating
.
Meggie
stood
there
,
and
realized
it
was
too
late
.
"
Justine
,
my
dearest
,
be
calm
,
"
said
Meggie
strongly
,
not
a
falter
in
her
voice
.
"
Calm
yourself
and
tell
me
.
Are
you
sure
?
"
"
Australia
House
called
me
--
they
thought
I
was
his
next
of
kin
.
Some
dreadful
man
who
only
wanted
to
know
what
I
wanted
done
with
the
body
.
'
The
body
,
'
he
kept
calling
Dane
.
As
if
he
was
n't
entitled
to
it
anymore
,
as
if
it
was
anyone
's
.
"
Meggie
heard
her
sob
.
"
God
!
I
suppose
the
poor
man
hated
what
he
was
doing
.
Oh
,
Mum
,
Dane
's
dead
!

How
,
Justine
?
Where
?
In
Rome
?
Why
has
n't
Ralph
called
me
?
"
"
No
,
not
in
Rome
.
The
Cardinal
probably
does
n't
know
anything
about
it
.
In
Crete
.
The
man
said
he
was
drowned
,
a
sea
rescue
.
He
was
on
holiday
,
Mum
,
he
asked
me
to
go
with
him
and
I
did
n't
,
I
wanted
to
play
Desdemona
,
I
wanted
to
be
with
Rain
.
If
I
'd
only
been
with
him
!
If
I
had
,
it
might
n't
have
happened
.
Oh
,
God
,
what
can
I
do
?
"
"
Stop
it
,
Justine
,
"
said
Meggie
sternly
.
"
No
thinking
like
that
,
do
you
hear
me
?
Dane
would
hate
it
,
you
know
he
would
.
Things
happen
,
why
we
do
n't
know
.
The
important
thing
now
is
that
you
're
all
right
,
I
have
n't
lost
both
of
you
.
You
're
all
I
've
got
left
now
.
Oh
,
Jussy
,
Jussy
,
it
's
so
far
away
!
The
world
's
big
,
too
big
.
Come
home
to
Drogheda
!
I
hate
to
think
of
you
all
alone
.
