...worry. God is with us.' He is so calm, he makes me furious. It doesn't mean that he doesn't trust me, only that he doesn't want to worry me. A little while after that we got hold of a tape recording of a conversation by the plotters. My husband was planning to go to Alexandria next day, and we heard on the tape that they were thinking of assassinating him on his way there. But he canceled his trip and went to Cairo instead...
