- Contexto
- He's a lovely man, couldn't hurt a woman if he tried, though his hands are as big as hams and he had to steady himself against the door when we were out behind Mangan's. Now Father Lenehan says this Brit with AIDS has gone and given some of the men in town a ride. I am not up the pole, which is a good sign, because I usually get pregnant when Tiny looks at me sideways. But if Tiny got a ride off the Brit that night, I've far more than a babby to worry about.
