and making so thorough a job of it that there was a good chgance he would think it correct . he muttered :" you're nathan 's second wife ?"
" yes , aren't i lucky? not the first , but definitely the last ." the words tripped off my tongue and i made sure i included barry in my next remark to roger ." nathan and i must visit the cherry valley . i'll make take me ."
roger a tapped a cigarette packet ." is it permitted ? he exhaled a plume of smoke ." you must be the only person in the world who can make nathan do anything . we have to work hard to convince him sometimes to come on board . it's one of his strengths ."
suddenly , shockingly , i scented danger ." vistemax has had an exceptional year ," i explained to barry ." they 've wiped the floor with the opposition ." i pushed an ashtray in roger's direction ." you must be so pleased . nathan is ."
before roger could respond , we were interrupted by a cry from the doorway . it was lucas in his teddy bear pajama , hopping from one foot to the other ." i can't sleep ...."
the red mrk on his cheek suggested otherwise . anthan turned round ." lukey ..." he smiles and luca tumble toward him , arms outstretched . nathan pushed back his chair , scooped him up , and settle him on his lap ." what are you doing up , you naughty boy ?"
"naughty boy ." lucas agree and setled himself against his father's shoulder for the duration . he reckoned that he was in with a chance and , judging by the way nathan held him close , he was right .
the clatter of forks and spoons acted as a counterpoint to lucas's high , chidlish voice and nathan 's deep tones . this had not been included on the timeable stuck to the fridge .
