On Saturday morning I took extra time grooming myself. I wanted to look my best, since Norah said Connor was helping Granny at the market and they would be meeting Margaret here afterwards. Margaret arrived early and invited me to sit with her and Norah while they had tea. I told her about my admission to Secondary School and she was impressed. In Ireland, most children only went to Primary School from ages four to twelve. Secondary education was considered a privilege, reserved for those who could afford it.

I asked her how she felt about Connor going to the Air Force when he completed school, and she said she hoped he’d change his mind and attend Fordham College where they lived in the Bronx, New York. She said she didn’t like the idea of him being up in the air.

Ryan and Rachel came to the table looking for Margaret’s attention, and she got up and chased them before scooping them up one at a time and kissing them until they screamed. Norah rolled her eyes and said, “She dotes too much. She’ll be lost when Connor leaves.”
