260 wivesbehavingbadly

. but if the situation was left to nature there was absolutely no change of achieving them either . the selection of books  ranged on a shelf -  the insightful soul . ten step to a beautiful body , and managing oueselves added to the cool considered conspiracy .
 across the corridor that was covered in deep pile carpet , gisela occupied a room identical to mine - except that it was larger , had a complimenttary  fruit bowl , and the bathroom was draped with more towels .
no child ever set foot in clair manor . no child would be permited to invade its pinks , scented , draped and hushed interiors .
i stretched out to experiment with toe aerobics , and tried to recapture the uplift of spirits , i had  experienced when gisela and i had arrived in reception ." i can run amok " i confided to gisela  ." eat pickled onions and order  BLT  on room services at four in the morning ." she had looked at me oddly " minty this is  a health farm . may i remind you that your body is a temple "in the cold light of morning  , groggy with the sleeping pill  . an all too vivid  mental picture took shape . i bet lucas and  felix were sittin up in bed and saving to live "mumy 's gone too ."
as we at dinner ( mung beans and onion ragout ) roger phoned gisela twice for no good reason . gisela litened , soothed and apologized for intrusion  ." roger gets agitated when i go away . he hates it ."" she poke at a bean . "this is man who has run a couple of large companies and made millions ....."
"and ...." i prompted when she fell silent .
gisela grasped her water glass .." that's what i want to talk to you about . but not tonight  . tomorrow ."
the threat of the conversation to come loomed as the last vetiges of sleep fell away .
