Quote from All Fun and Games:
Everyone talked about the joys and the hardships, but for most of the three years.......motherhood mainly consisted of gaping aeons of numbing tedium punctuated by sudden, heart-stopping moments of panic.
But later on in the book I began to feel a bit better when the head of MI5 is quoted as saying being a mother prepares you for being a spy: Being a mother instils a ruthlessness of mind, a linearity of purpose reports Bett. Don't you think all those years of playing a one-woman good-cop, bad-cop to get the little buggers to cooperate would make you adept at maintaining a deceit in order to procure what you need?
