Julia winked as she started walking backwards, asking "Wait on Philip til I
get back if you don't mind?  And I remember... no speeding."

She said the last part with mock resignation before winking and 'love you'
and heading out the door.  The sooner she left, the sooner she was back.

"All right," Derek agreed as he watched her leave.  He then went back to the
kitchen and sat down at the table.  "Mother, would you mind finishing your
tea in the downstairs library.  I need to speak iwth you alone."
