. i reached for my handbag for my checkbook ." look , why don't lend you some for the moment . it will stave off some of the problem  , and then you ad  i will go and see theo . he is bound to confidentiality ."
poppy raised  her head ," would you do that ?"
her atonishment was -  almost - offensive  but funnily enough , i understand ," yes ."
" okay , thanks ." tears streamed down poppy's cheeks ." i'm a  mess , minty . that's what i am , and what do i do about it ?"
egg-spoon race . next up the sack race . felix was in that one . i i hauled my notebook out of my bag ." actually , poppy , i've done some research on counseling ."
"counseling ," she was dismissive .
i  STared a her ." are you serious or not ?"
pooppy did not answere  , i grabbed her wrist , hauled her out of paradox  , hailed the first taxi , and ordered him to drive to an address in souh kensington ." i'm taking you to a counselor  who is highly  recommened . when  we get there . poppy  , you are going to make an appointment  and i'm going to watch you do it ."
by the time i arrived at the common , the races had been run ,  te rosettles pinned onto chests , and the picnic were in ful twing .
there was the usual melee of parents , mostly  mothers , with one or two progressive , unemployed  or browbeaten fathers . an are of the common  had been held down by several  silver cups . their  status came under the heading of reprieved the cups were the relic of an earth era , and there had been much solemn debate among the staff at to wheter competive races should be allowed .
