i am practically the only mother in the world prepared to put her children first , paige maintained , and she was not entirely joking . it's lonely . if we go on like this , there 'll be no population in the western hemisphere . look at italy . look at germany . cjild-free countries .paige's zeal the heatens . yet there was something reassuring abotu the straightforward outlook that did not involve nay of the watering-down " if 's and buts ," those depentdent clauses that draw the sting out of rules and regulations .
barry sauntered into my office , but his greeting was sharp " what kept yoiu ?"

i cursed inwardly and flushed , for i was twenty minutes late ." sorry barry . the tube ."
he glanced at hios rolex ." you can make it up later ."
barry was only half joking . he threw himself down into a chair ." i've got a tricky day  .we need the green light for the AIDS film , so say your prayers ." he was dressed in a dark armani suite and red tie that meant big meeting and probably  expalined the sharpness . he smelled of aftershave , and a hint of claret from the night before .
again he checked his watch ." five minutes to go , and i'm going to waste them with you ."
" what's up with gabrielle ? hovered on the tiop of my tongue , but i resisted . on closer inspection . barry looked tired , and his collar points were not quite adjusted . then i understood that he did not , at this moment , require the diversion of superb body and a sexy giggle . what barry needed was an adult , sensible , grounding conversation before he went into a big meeting .
