'Elpmyupasteps,' he said.
Tm sorry,' 1 said. '1 don't understand.'
For a minute he stood by the door of the cab and said nothing. Then he hit the cab with his stick.
'STEPS!' he said loudly. 'Help me up the steps!'
Then I understood. There were three steps up into the cab, and he could not get up them.
'Yes, I see. l'm sorry,' I said. 'Let me help you.'
I took his left hand and began to help him. My right hand was behind his back. I felt very strange. His left hand was like a young woman's, but his back, under the coat, was horrible. I could feel the bags of old skin on his back un der the coat.
He put one enormous foot on the first step, and then he stopped. After a minute, he moved his second foot slowly. Then he stopped and waited again.
'HelIo, sir. Can I help you?'
I looked behind me. It was the postman. And behind him, I could see three young boys. One of the boys laughed.
The postman smiled. 'Is the gentleman ill?' he asked.
I thought quickly. 'Yeso But this is a lady, not a gentleman. I'rn a doctor, and she's ill. Take her hand,
so I can help her better.'
