Why didn’t he just say no to him? Ludo Connod lived in Paris with his family and old dog, happily approaching forty. He’d done enough, had enough. Why on earth was he flying to America?
It was the money, that was it, secure his pension forever, that was it. Sense of patriotic duty. That was really it. He wasn’t even American, he was French, only his fathers genes were American.
“The Blight came from the Almighty, the famine from The English. Eddy Murtagh was a Ribbonman, all his folks wanted was a fair deal and enough land to grow food, but no, he took it all away, sent his bully boys and henchmen to get them out, burn them out, kill them if necessary. Eddy was a Navvie, building railways on the mainland, tough, strong and fearless, except for Lillian. He’d fix it. He did fix it. Then he had to leave.
She was a waitress in Libya, a refugee from Somalia sending money back home to keep her loved ones alive. She loved being with him. He bought her flowers.

Edward Charles McClone the 5th, knew the answer.
