cereals and milk and she hasn't made a
cake for so long she is afraid the one man

which it isn't.
For a whole glorious fortnight in
which she spoils most of her best clothes,

the end of il, soothed and refreshed by
her delightful trip, she returns to work
able to tolerate once more the comforts
and freedom Of home life.
