 | | This small diminution, apparently, is down to the fact that she took a somewhat protracted maternity leave; protracted because, having astounded everyone by getting married, she then had not one baby but two, in unseemly proximity to one another, and has been mothering away like billy-ho in the wilds of Shropshire since. |
