Robin liked to have a good seat, so she could only afford a Saturday matinee. She picked a play that was being done on one of her weekends off from the hospital. She never read it beforehand, and she did not care whether it was a tragedy or a comedy. She had yet to see a single person there that she knew, in the theater or out on the streets, and that suited her very well. One of the nurses she worked with had said to her ´´I would never have the nerve to do that all on my own´´and that had made Robin realise how different she herself must be from most people.She never felt more at ease than at these times, surrounded by strangers.
After the play she would walk downtown , along the river, and find some inexpensive place to eat - usually a sandwich, as she sat on a stool at the counter. And at twenty to eight she should catch the train home. That was all. Yet those few hours filled her with an assurance that the life she was going back to, which seemed so makeshift and unsatisfactory, was only temporary and could easily be put up with.

Langt sitat men jeg synes det er så sant og så vakkert ....... Sitatet er hentet frside 239 i den engelsek versjonen "Runaway".

Sånn er det det skjer. Du legger det til side for en periode og nå og da kikker du i skapet på leting etter noe helt annet, og du kommer på det, og du tenker: snart. Så blir det etterhvert noe som bare er der, i skapet og andre ting blir stuet foran. Denne tingen som var din blankeste skatt. Du tenker bare ikke på det. På et tidspunkt et tap du ikke maktet forestille deg, og så blir det til noe du knapt husker. Sånn er det det skjer.
