Það er það skrýtna við sjávarþorpsstelpuna. Elskar stórborgir, ys, þys, dagblaðastanda, skyndibitastaði, kaffihús, æpandi dyraverði, kokkteila, expressó og kökur. Finnst bensínlykt og mengunarlykt góð. Sér fegurðina í blautu malbiki. Inspírerandi að sitja á bekk og horfa á konu sem borar í nefið. Sumum er ekki viðbjargandi.

Kona situr í sætu sunnudagslegu sakleysi rétt innan við gluggann á Eymundssson á Skólvörðustíg. Hún stundar uppáhaldsiðju sína, drekka kaffi og lesa áfergjulega helgarblöðin - og borða feita kleinu.
Hún veit ekki fyrr til en að henni vindur sér maður með blaðsnepil í hendi og hendir örsnöggt á borðið hennar. Hún er eitthvað týnd í heiminum, því hún registrerar atburðinn ekki á sálarprikið um leið og hann gerist.
Þegar hún áttar sig, lítur hún á snepilinn. Þar stendur sisona:

" Les við gluggann,

brott rekur skuggann,

sólskin í hennar heiði,

hamingjan hana leiði."

Maðurinn var á bak og burt.
Konan vill koma á framfæri þökkum til þessa velviljaða manns.
