Brendan, the eldest son, goes off to be a missionary in Africa, surfacing later as a Catholic bishop in New York; Sheila, the only daughter, is a nurse at Guy's Hospital in London, then marries (unhappily) a rich Englishman; Frankie, the late arrival, seeks freedom in the Australian outback and loses touch - but Minnie waits confidently every day for his knock at the door.
