Shirley had realized. The woman was a nurse walking to the hospital for the late shift. Unless Shirley took immediate action they would meet. Shirley stepped out in the street to walk diagonally toward the apartment. It was most unladylike, but that of course was Shirley's problem. She was not ladylike and perhaps the nurse would know it too? The two apparently passed about 30 feet apart without recognition. As she neared her own friendly vestibule, Shirley saw two other nurses coming up her street. They were too far away to be a problem. Shirley was back in the hall, safe! She had made it! No one had stopped her. Her secret world was safe, but it was a lonely secret world, and just perhaps the nurse if passed directly, might have given Shirley a look of compassion or understanding. Perhaps there were people in this world who could understand and accept Shirley. Where were they? "Oh God where were they"?
