was calling,

° “Margaret,” my mother was trying to sound casual, “an old boyfriend of yours ke just called, someone ‘we once met on a holiday who took you waterskiing. He wants to take you out on a date.”

cI was: outraged,

“Mother, I don't want a date with anyone.” :) She was crestfallen. “Aren't you even interested to ‘know who it is?”

“Well, who then?”

“Pierre Trudeau.” :. When I look back on it now ‘I ecan't help being a little ‘ashamed of ‘the speed with

‘+ It had been all too easy to persuade me toaccept the date. I kept up my nonchalance for just the time it took to buy a

_ dress. In a French boutique ‘called Armagi, I found the ideal

garment — gabardine, white, short sleeves with fine stitching around the seams. The rest of ‘our shopping — stockings, bag, -shoes, all. the things I had fondly imagined I would -never sully myself with again — ‘took ‘no time at all... *

The awkwardness vanish- ed: quickly. Within a few minutes I had blown my, cover. The little French dress was a sham, and I couldn't keep all the small talk up.

We talked about student revolution and i told him about Morocco. It all came pouring out, Thad found a friend at last.

Pierre gave me. every encouragement. It is in his nature to be charming and complimentary to women and, ‘away from that short of old- fashioned gallantry for so long,

“My God,” I saw him thinking,

“this lady's moved into town!"

After dinner he proposed a stroll in the, garden. Pierre gently kissed me. My future looked even more promising.

The, next morning I was startled out of my fantasies by a letter from Yves.

“T'm going to buy a sail- boat,” it said. “Please sail around the world with me. I have something precise to offer you.” I took this to” be the marriage I had pressed for.

“Darling Yves," I wrote back, “your letter has come too late. I'm beached in Ottawa. I'm contracted into the very society you pred me to ji join - remem- ber?"

full of doubts, Pierre far more

than me.

- He kept saying, “I am simply too old. How can you take up with a man two years older than your mother?”

During. the, moments his doubts were at their most acute he fought me off and returned to his social life of pretty ladies.

“It was romance. For the next few days my jealousy was such that each time Pierre rang I slammed down the phone. “Go back to your American actress: es!" I yelled,
