Father
,
you
're
not
watching
!
"
Meggie
accused
him
.
"
I
'm
sorry
,
Meggie
.
I
was
thinking
.
"
He
turned
back
to
her
as
she
finished
with
Jims
;
the
three
of
them
stood
watching
him
expectantly
until
he
bent
and
scooped
the
twins
up
,
one
on
either
hip
.
"
Let
's
go
and
see
your
Auntie
Mary
,
shall
we
?
"
Meggie
followed
him
up
the
track
carrying
his
crop
and
leading
the
chestnut
mare
;
he
toted
the
infants
with
easy
familiarity
and
seemed
not
to
mind
,
though
it
was
almost
a
mile
from
the
creek
to
the
big
house
.
At
the
cookhouse
he
relinquished
the
twins
to
an
ecstatic
Mrs.
Smith
and
passed
on
up
the
walkway
to
the
main
house
with
Meggie
by
his
side
.
Mary
Carson
was
sitting
in
her
wing
chair
.
She
hardly
ever
moved
from
it
these
days
;
there
was
not
the
necessity
any
more
with
Paddy
so
capable
of
overseeing
things
.
As
Father
Ralph
came
in
holding
Meggie
's
hand
,
her
malevolent
gaze
beat
the
child
's
down
;
Father
Ralph
felt
the
increase
in
Meggie
's
pulse
rate
and
squeezed
her
wrist
sympathetically
.
The
little
girl
dropped
her
aunt
a
clumsy
curtsy
,
murmuring
an
inaudible
greeting
.
"
Go
to
the
kitchen
,
girl
,
have
your
tea
with
Mrs.
Smith
,
"
said
Mary
Carson
curtly
.
"
Why
do
n't
you
like
her
?
"
Father
Ralph
asked
as
he
sank
into
the
chair
he
had
come
to
think
of
as
his
own
.
"
Because
you
do
,
"
she
answered
.
"
Oh
,
come
now
!
"
For
once
she
made
him
feel
at
a
loss
.
"
She
's
just
a
waif
,
Mary
.
"
"
That
's
not
what
you
see
in
her
,
and
you
know
it
.
"
