You
're
lucky
here
,
you
have
a
bathroom
,
"
Father
Ralph
said
as
he
brought
them
up
the
plank
steps
to
the
front
veranda
;
it
was
quite
a
climb
,
for
the
piles
upon
which
the
house
was
poised
were
fifteen
feet
high
.
"
In
case
the
creek
runs
a
banker
,
"
Father
Ralph
explained
.
"
You
're
right
on
it
here
and
I
've
heard
it
can
rise
sixty
feet
in
a
night
.
"
They
did
indeed
have
a
bathroom
;
an
old
tin
bath
and
a
chipped
water
heater
stood
in
a
walled-off
alcove
at
the
end
of
the
back
veranda
.
But
,
as
the
women
found
to
their
disgust
,
the
lavatory
was
nothing
more
than
a
hole
in
the
ground
some
two
hundred
yards
away
from
the
house
,
and
it
stank
.
After
New
Zealand
,
primitive
.
"
Whoever
lived
here
was
n't
very
clean
,
"
Fee
said
as
she
ran
her
finger
through
the
dust
on
the
sideboard
.
Father
Ralph
laughed
.
"
You
'll
fight
a
losing
battle
trying
to
get
rid
of
that
,
"
he
said
.
"
This
is
the
Outback
,
and
there
are
three
things
you
'll
never
defeat
--
the
heat
,
the
dust
and
the
flies
.
No
matter
what
you
do
,
they
'll
aways
be
with
you
.
"
Fee
looked
at
the
priest
.
"
You
're
very
good
to
us
,
Father
.
"
"
And
why
not
?
You
're
the
only
relatives
of
my
very
good
friend
,
Mary
Carson
.
"
She
shrugged
,
unimpressed
.
"
I
'm
not
used
to
being
on
friendly
terms
with
a
priest
.
In
New
Zealand
they
kept
themselves
very
much
to
themselves
.
"
"
You
're
not
a
Catholic
,
are
you
?
"
"
No
,
Paddy
's
the
Catholic
.
Naturally
the
children
have
been
reared
as
Catholics
,
every
last
one
of
them
,
if
that
's
what
's
worrying
you
.
"
"
It
never
occurred
to
me
.
Do
you
resent
it
?
