278 wivesbehavingbadly

. lucas stARE  at me , blankly  . then . he shook his head . " dunnow ...." he murured and launched himself across me to hit  felix . there was a shriek as felix was felled .
i allowed them to fight . fighting gave them relief , the consolation  of thumps  , and i  looked at the clock on the wall  . never had the numerals on it appeared so black and precisely etched . sunday ..... sunday...time was running out .
my mind clicked into overdrive . one scenario in particular sounded  a reveiille to the black feelings .
" sorry." barry would say when i rang to tell him i could not make the meeting on monday ." i'm not sure this arrangement is working ."  i pictured him spreading his hands and the wristbands rippling ." we need someone we can rely on , minty .it doesn't look like you at the moment ."
 the mark of a civilized man ( the civilized woman was not included ) is to be able to hold on to  contrary propositions in the head at the same time . nathan ....was dead  . his children lived .
an idea took shape . listen , it insisted at as i dismissed it . i studied my fingers . think about it .
the decibels ascended to a dangerous level and set about prizing the boys apart . felix rolled over and bit my hand hard , i snatched it back ." don't do that ." he stiffened  and rolled away . i crouched down beside him ." felix , you never , never bite people . have you listened to mumy ? i am trying to teach you something important ."
there are many ways in which to tackle survival ." we will now discuss in a little more detail the struggle for existence ."
charles darwin  wrote in the origin of species .
once , after we had beeen married for a little while , in middle of making  frantic  love , nathan halted ." i have never desired anyone  like i desire you , minty ." he confessed a thrilling  passionate way .
