"Sweet Mercy! Minister Mac, you look terrible! You could have called, if you weren't feeling well. You look like something the cat drug in six months ago, and, oh, where's my manners, please come in."  Clara opened the door and walked him over to the sofa. "Stay here, I'll be right back with some cold water."<br/><br/>"Dukey, go talk to Minister Mac, and tell him what you said to me about our babies. I am going to get him some ice water, and will join you in a minute."
