Incipit :
Gaylord Pentecost came back from his summer holydays in Germany. He said, 'Mother, you know you said you wanted an au pair girl?'
'Did I, darling?'
'Yes. you remember?'
'I do now. It was about ten years ago. You were a little boy and Amanda was a babe in arms.'
Gaylord did wish that Mother, whenever he had a Dramatic Annoucement to make, wouldn't somehow edge him off centre stage. He said, slightly deflated, 'Well, I've got you one.' He gave her his charming, boyish smile.
