She was standing on the sidewalk in downtown Palo Alto. It was around lunchtime -- lots of people walking past. She was almost a fixture -- the crazy lady with the shopping cart and the baby doll, mumbling to herself. But this day, she was crying and begging, "Leave me alone! Leave me alone!" Yelling at the voices that only she could hear.
Archie walked a little past her, and then turned and said, loudly, "Leave her alone!"
As he turned and began to walk on, he heard her say, "Thank you."
