Goodness, Pam, the things I don't know about you. Consultant to the
film-makers, now!
Now I will have to get out the video and scrutinise the bf scene.
More breastfeeding from Bryce Courtenay's "The Power of One" (the hero is to
box against a black man who has the same surname as his Nanny, and when he
asks if there is a family connection, he finds out that this is his milk
brother):
"I stood in front of the Zulu fighter completely stunned. I was going to
fight Nanny's son, the infant she had had to leave to look after me. It was
I who had stolen the milk from her breasts when she had been hired to be
first my wet nurse and then my nanny." ..... "now he would fight the one
who had taken his mother from him so that he had not known her until he was
six years old." .....
"I was having trouble keeping the steel trap in my mind closed. Images of
Nanny swept through my head. A sweet, dark woman who gave me unstintingly
of her love, who never once mentioned the child torn from her when her
breasts were still firm with milk. Gideon Mandoma had a right to hate me
and hate is a good friend in a fight."
