Als der gutaussehende Mann im Kilt mit gebrochenem Herzen an meiner Theke Platz nimmt, will ich ihn aufmuntern.

Ein Platanenblatt segelt vor meiner Nase auf den hellen Kies im Hof. Eine Eidechse huscht in ihre Mauernische, als mein Schatten auf sie fällt.

Moreover, she has lost her original English manuscript of this work.
