61.  A father explained to me that he would put one of his three sons through primary and secondary education.

62.  A feeling of isolation swept over me.

63.  A feeling that I had run a terrible risk and now everything was going to be all right.

64.  A few clapped, but I think it was in gratitude for their drinks.

65.  A few cocktails later, enough to addle my memory, I found myself in bed with Bob.

66.  A few days after my gift was discovered, Milagros cast me a worried look at dinner.

67.  A few days later I found some use-them-once plastic hypodermics in the medicine cabinet.

68.  A few days later, I received a contrite telephone call from the store, saying there had been a mistake.

69.  A few miles from the house where Irina and I live lies an old churchyard.
