I turned around and saw a woman getting up from her booth, or so I thought. As I was about to glide in, she asked if I was already sitting there. She had already acquiesced because she thought I had an original claim. I could not unduly usurp my fellow cafe mate. “No, I thought you were getting up,” said I. “I appreciate that,” she said, “if you like we can share the booth.” I accepted her gracious offer, and we had a lovely conversation about coffee and other important life subjects.
