" i can't do much for you , minty , except help woth the small things . heree's the name of a good florist . just tell them what you want for nathan , and they 'll undersatnd ."
florist ? " thank you . " my lips were trembling ." did roger say how nathan was yesterday ?" gisela made a play of stowing the dnotebook back in her bag ." i'd like to know what he said and how he looked ."
" all right ." gisela seemed to have been expecting my question ." roger was dreading the meeting . anthan was a froend , no , don't look like that , mitny , you know it , as well as i do . roger gave the news to him straight , at first , anthan did not say much ," gisel paused ." roger said he walked pver to window and turned his back on him . it was shock . he said , and he needed a minute or two . then he went on the attack and told roger the decision was crazy and wrong . furthermore , vistermax did not need destabilizing at the moment ."
" nathan fought back ." to those who knew him intimately , the signs would have been readable . when he tightened his mouth , things were not good for the opposition . if he dug a hand into a trouser pocket , the strategy had been worked out .
" i have never seen roger so sad , so rattled . at the .... prospect of doing it ." gisela offered ." and nathan gave him a very , very hard time ."
" gisela , nathan was about to lose everything ."
" not everything . he had you and the boys . that was one of the points . roger reckoned that he might be quite glad of period at home to see more of the twins ."
astonished , i stared at gisela . " nathan was sacked because roger thought he'd make a good nany ?"
