Far from despising them she was thinking how pleasant it must be to have such a careless abundance of time together that the whole evenings can be comfortably squandered without a word spoken 2/2

For more than a moment Helen didn't recognise him. Away from the hospital he looked so ordinary - just a tired, middle-aged man buying potatoes. No heads turned as he passed and Helen had experienced the curious sensation of seeing him as everyone else must; as he really was, perhaps. She had ducked out of sight behind a stall selling trays of white eggs, her heart thumping in protest at this unwanted awakening.
