THAT night Father Joseph had a dream of cloven hooves and shaggy muscled legs and little Ruth Gower’s sweet white body held fast between them, her small breasts grasped in brutal, hairy hands.

He woke and sat up in bed. His skin was clammy and sweat dripped from his forehead. It was dread, he thought, dread of what would become of Maidie’s girl down there in that sink of iniquity. He was old, he knew – his congregation was dwindling, the young ones were drifting away, the pew beside the confessional was empty most Saturdays – but while he had breath in him, that girl would be saved. He would shame Margaret May into keeping young Ruth in Barinjii. He would force Maidie’s hand.

Father Joseph switched on the light and opened the drawer of his bedside table. He’d already written his sermon for tomorrow, but he knew now it wouldn’t do. He took out the pad of paper, ripped out the sheets, and started all over again.
