classifiable visitors from Istanbul, Sofia, Bucharest - not forgetting the tourists - all with the appearance of solid respectability.

He enjoyed the lofty foyer with its stained glass, green marble pillars and handsome Gobelin tapestry, a good copy of the original in the Louvre, depicting Alexander the Great More Page More Page Wwwinvisiblechildrencom entering Babylon on a fat, crafty-looking horse, a dignified figure at the head of his retinue but gone hollie steel

at the little table on his other side. A tubby, swarthy man with a thick moustache, a Turk by the look of him, had seized the bare upper arm of the girl next to him, pulled her close and was talking More Page More Page Wwwinvisiblechildrencom into her ear in something between a whisper and a hollie steel
