Well no, made him behave oddly. He wasn't odd if left to himself, just not as sociable as adults thought he should be."He'll grow out of it" said his ...randmother Jones, unconvincingly "It's just a phase"The other adults nodded, all unconvinced but unsure what else to do, James was his own person and would do what he would do.What he did was to continue, contentedly, on the periphery of any social group he was 'in'. He was joined to Wolfcubs and was content to be a seconder, and then a sixer,. " While I was still staring at the mirror,Ilsa said "You won?t deny that I?ve pampered you this weekend."Obviously, I couldn?t deny it.*Monday noon, I got a call from Ilsa."Victor, dear. A friend invited me to dinner tonight. Is it alrightwith you?" Sure, why not," I answered, ignorant of how things were going toprecipitate."OK, see you at home before nine. If you can make it." Of course I can."I arrived home on time, and found Ilsa making her finishing touches.She looked wonderful and quite. "If you cost me money again, Souris, you had better forget seeing thatchild grow."The threat against little Tasha made him feel like throwing up. Stevensuddenly felt very protective of this little black baby that he barelyknew. For some reason, which he could not explain, doing whatever he hadto, to protect the child, became secondary to his own situation."I be ready," Steven said softly, before hanging up the phone, fully awarethat he'd just agreed to have sex with other men!After he hung up. I told him about the saw mill that I ordered. It was a portable unit that would need five centaurs to operate it. After he cleared an area he could move the mill to the next area to be cleared.Toni asked what we planned to use the sawdust for. She was planning on mixing it with the manure and composting it. It would also make great bedding for a mushroom farm. We would need to build a sterilizer plant for the manure. In a couple of years Bangalore would be the most fertile moon in this.
