Suddenly Leny's bell rings. When I'm almost at her room, I already hear her screaming: 'Nurse, nurse!' I step inside and say: 'Hi Leny, what's wrong?' She is completely panicked, points to a dark corner of the room and shouts: 'There, there's a man standing there! Send him away!' What do you say then? 'No Leny, I can't do that, figure it out yourself'? Of course not. With my head held high and big steps, I walk to the corner. I try to sound as tough as possible, but my voice cracks a bit as I say to the antique floor lamp: 'Sir, we are closed! I kindly request you to leave the premises!' As I walk back, I say to Leny: 'He won't come back, you know.'
