In part two our narrator, Joe, now older, heads out to the outback to raise sheep with his best friend who has just married a girl they had grown up with. Upon leaving she asks Joe not to let her new husband go near a drink- because he can't stop it once he gets starrted. Joe promises he won't. The reverend McLaghlin appears large in this story as well- bringing in the sheep.
