What do you think of R? he asked
The question was innocuous enough - no preamble speech - no introduction of bias. It was important to exclude prejudice from the equation.
There is something wrong with his eyes, she answered.,
"They cannot be trusted."
He drew a breath in, keeping his eyes on the road, then glanced askance at her.
... so you can do it too.
He breathed again : "We have a lot in common, you and I."
"Yes." - spoken almost too quietly to be heard.
She smiled.
