She arrived on a wintry Saturday morning, her water broken and the first contraction pains just beginning to mount. Due to circumstance it would be many hours before we met: by then she would be in fulminant labor, our opportunity to establish rapport now limited by time, discomfort, her broken English and my total lack of Mandarin.
