‘Oh, he’s enjoyin’ that cuppa tea alright. Good bread too, ya reckon. Cuppa tea. Miss that. But no more now, us fellas, Moorabool’s time, Mary’s time, soon be Woorer Woorer’s time and Alfie, that young Alfie. They enough, you reckon, strong enough to fight the war without spears? Hmm. Time, eh. Time will tell. Oh, I miss that cuppa tea. Look at that ol’ Moorabool slurpin’ it up in the sun. Oh, well, he mightn’t get too many more in peace. Let him enjoy this one, an’ the bread, see how thick she cut it? Where she got bread like that? She good girl that Mary, strong girl. Good for our people. Not give up.
