I will be spending a welcome hour or two with Mabel Watson Payne on most weekdays for the next two weeks. Her maternal grandmother is official babysitter for this fortnight and has given me the chance to help out in the late afternoon and bask again in the unfailing charm of this child. Today she invented a peekaboo game based on pushing my knees apart so she could pop out between them.
As the action gets rowdier the focus gets blurrier.
