. it was unheard of for paige to have doubts ." p[aige . have you been in touch with martin as all . "
" tell you what ask me about lara 's arabesques instead ."
" paige  . have you been in touch with martin ?"
" minty . don't interfere . okay ?"
i raised  my eyes to the ceiling ." how are lara's arabesque ?"
" funnily enough , very good . she has an excellent line . but she's let down a bit by her feet . pats of butter . unfortuntely  . but we'll get to work on them ."
i felt sorry for the framshackle , terrorized lara . from now on , her feet  would not be her own .at the other  end of the phone paige sighed  heavily  ; a sound  filled with despair  and uncertainty ; and i weighed in  . " you have got to think again about matin ."
"i think about  him , minty  all the time . and i am very fond of him , very . but i have n't time to be married . not with three children . not if i'm  to do things properly ."
"paige , haven't you eaten today ?"
" eaten ? not much  , i'm far too busy . and before you ask , no . i'm not sleeping  well . i know  you think , i've gone mad with  postnatal depression  and  maybe  i have . but at  the best  of times , martin  is a reluctant father . he doesn't enjoy it . he hates the house being full of children . now , who's the one with a psycfhsis .?'
"all the same , he needs to be there ."
there was an omious silence . " minty . i'm not sure about  lectures from you ."
" where is he living ?"
" at his mother's  she 's put him in the attic  bedroom for the time being ."
