conversation on the trolley

Nurse: "I see that you dont have your cane today"
Blind Lady: "I have my daughter with me today to lead me. I'm no good with the cane, it gets stuck on things and keep bumping into walls. I feel like a pinball machine, but with bruises."
(everyone forces a nervous laugh)
Nurse: "Oh well you have very pretty eyes anyway..."
(awkward moment)
Blind Lady: "Thanks."
