an archduke or two were expendable - but because the russians had mobilized thier tarins . once that happened it was imossible to cry halt .
eve had drive the twins to school and , to my astonishment , had volunteered to take them for a session in the park faterward . already i felt differently : i had waved them off , pleased that all concerned in this household had reached oanother milestone . again , i ran over my timetable . it was impressively severe in its just in time scheduling . with no margin for slack .
i ploughed on . wardrobe checks . nathan required new socks , and the twin had grown out of their dungarees , equipment : " frying pan ," i jotted on the shopping list . food : menus for the following two weeks .
the phone rang ." minty ," poppy dispensed with preliminaries ." can i asked you something ? do you think you could speak to jilly ?"
this was entired unexpected ." why on earth ?"
she was full of importance ." i don't kow if dad mentioned it but she's refusing to go to the states with sam , who has been offered this famtasitic job . well , you know what that means . sam will be the target of every predatory female in the state . and did you know that he has bumped into alice ? you remember her ? his girl friend before he married jilly ? she was very cut up when he went off with jilly . personally , i think alice maneuuvered it . she's never gotten over losing sam . anyway . he talked about her last itme i saw him . and it set alrm bell ringing ." i knew poppy well enough to know that it was a matter of a short wait before all became clear ." minty , i'm sorry , but there's no two ways to put it and 'll have to be rude , but could you tlk to jilly and expalin that the other woman seizes her chance ?
