This was a mistake. I waited so long to return to the place of my birth, wanting to show Esme my human history. But this was not my heritage. England had changed which, of course, was to be expected with the passage of well over three hundred years.

Hiding my disappointment, I suggested that we sail for Ireland earlier than planned.
