“I hope it isn’t too late. I was sort of busy with Henri. He put up a major resistance to going to bed tonight and this is my first chance to call.”
“No. It’s not too late at all. I only got in a few minutes ago. Anyway, I never go to sleep before twelve. I was hoping to hear from you.”

“I didn’t hear it; I read it. Please don’t think I’m a snoop. I’m not. It’s just that one of my jobs is to do the mail and when any legal papers pass by my desk I like to look at them,” she says. “I’m going to Nova Law at night and I think it’s good to see how they do it in the real world.
