Why
not
,
I
thought
,
write
to
him
and
ask
him
to
bring
himself
and
his
sons
here
?
When
I
die
he
'll
inherit
Drogheda
and
Michar
Limited
,
as
he
's
my
only
living
relative
closer
than
some
unknown
cousins
back
in
Ireland
.
"
She
smiled
.
"
It
seems
silly
to
wait
,
does
n't
it
?
He
might
as
well
come
now
as
later
,
get
used
to
running
sheep
on
the
black
soil
plains
,
which
I
'm
sure
is
quite
different
from
sheep
in
New
Zealand
.
Then
when
I
'm
gone
he
can
step
into
my
shoes
without
feeling
the
pinch
.
"
Head
lowered
,
she
watched
Father
Ralph
closely
.
"
I
wonder
you
did
n't
think
of
it
earlier
,
"
he
said
.
"
Oh
,
I
did
.
But
until
recently
I
thought
the
last
thing
I
wanted
was
a
lot
of
vultures
waiting
anxiously
for
me
to
breathe
my
last
.
Only
lately
the
day
of
my
demise
seems
a
lot
closer
than
is
used
to
,
and
I
feel
...
oh
,
I
do
n't
know
.
As
if
it
might
be
nice
to
be
surrounded
by
people
of
my
own
flesh
and
blood
.
"
"
What
's
the
matter
,
do
you
think
you
're
ill
?
"
he
asked
quickly
,
a
real
concern
in
his
eyes
.
She
shrugged
.
"
I
'm
perfectly
all
right
.
Yet
there
's
something
ominous
about
turning
sixty-five
.
Suddenly
old
age
is
not
a
phenomenon
which
will
occur
;
it
has
occurred
.
"
"
I
see
what
you
mean
,
and
you
're
right
.
It
will
be
very
pleasant
for
you
,
hearing
young
voices
in
the
house
.
"
"
Oh
,
they
wo
n't
live
here
,
"
she
said
.
"
They
can
live
in
the
head
stockman
's
house
down
by
the
creek
,
well
away
from
me
.
I
'm
not
fond
of
children
or
their
voices
.
"
"
Is
n't
that
a
rather
shabby
way
to
treat
your
only
brother
,
Mary
?
Even
if
your
ages
are
so
disparate
?
"
"
He
'll
inherit
--
let
him
earn
it
,
"
she
said
crudely
.
