Paddy
's
back
stiffened
.
"
I
would
n't
dream
of
dunning
her
for
that
!
"
he
snapped
.
"
We
can
get
to
Australia
without
begging
from
her
;
I
have
enough
put
by
.
"
"
I
think
she
ought
to
pay
our
way
,
"
Fee
maintained
stubbornly
,
and
to
everyone
's
shocked
surprise
;
she
did
not
often
voice
an
opinion
.
"
Why
should
you
give
up
your
life
here
and
go
off
to
work
for
her
on
the
strength
of
a
promise
given
in
a
letter
?
She
's
never
lifted
a
finger
to
help
us
before
,
and
I
do
n't
trust
her
.
All
I
ever
remember
your
saying
about
her
was
that
she
had
the
tightest
clutch
on
a
pound
you
'd
ever
seen
.
After
all
,
Paddy
,
it
's
not
as
if
you
know
her
so
very
well
;
there
was
such
a
big
gap
between
you
in
age
,
and
she
went
to
Australia
before
you
were
old
enough
to
start
school
.
"
"
I
do
n't
see
how
that
alters
things
now
,
and
if
she
is
tight-fisted
,
all
the
more
for
us
to
inherit
.
No
,
Fee
,
we
're
going
to
Australia
,
and
we
'll
pay
our
own
way
there
.
"
Fee
said
no
more
.
It
was
impossible
to
tell
from
her
face
whether
she
resented
being
so
summarily
dismissed
.
"
Hooray
,
we
're
going
to
Australia
!
"
Bob
shouted
,
grabbing
at
his
father
's
shoulder
.
Jack
,
Hughie
and
Stu
jigged
up
and
down
,
and
Frank
was
smiling
,
his
eyes
seeing
nothing
in
the
room
but
something
far
beyond
it
.
Only
Fee
and
Meggie
wondered
and
feared
,
hoping
painfully
it
would
all
come
to
nothing
,
for
their
lives
could
be
no
easier
in
Australia
,
just
the
same
things
under
strange
conditions
.
"
Where
's
Gillanbone
?
"
Stuart
asked
.
Out
came
the
old
atlas
;
poor
though
the
Clearys
were
,
there
were
several
shelves
of
books
behind
the
kitchen
dining
table
.
The
boys
pored
over
yellowing
pages
until
they
found
New
South
Wales
.
Used
to
small
New
Zealand
distances
,
it
did
n't
occur
to
them
to
consult
the
scale
of
miles
in
the
bottom
left-hand
corner
.
They
just
naturally
assumed
New
South
Wales
was
the
same
size
as
the
North
Island
of
New
Zealand
.
And
there
was
Gillanbone
,
up
toward
the
top
left-hand
corner
;
about
the
same
distance
from
Sydney
as
Wanganui
was
from
Auckland
,
it
seemed
,
though
the
dots
indicating
towns
were
far
fewer
than
on
the
North
Island
map
.
"
It
's
a
very
old
atlas
,
"
Paddy
said
.
"
Australia
is
like
America
,
growing
in
leaps
and
bounds
.
I
'm
sure
there
are
a
lot
more
towns
these
days
.
"
