A ten came through the money slot and without looking at the face, she picked up the bill, made sure it was real then put five ones and a five dollar bill in the slot. When the stranger continued to stand there, she mumbled, "Can I help you?"

It wasn't in her nature to be so perturbed all the time.

"Did you read the instructions?" she asked.
"Please, come help me?" he asked again.
