"How about another coffee first, dear Claudia?"
"Yes, please, but this round is on me"
"No way. You have given me the best looks of a lady in glasses I have seen in
ages, except for my partner Nel, of course"
"You give me praise but you speak highly of her and that's the way it should be.
By the way, my own partner is here as well. He has been near to us ever since
we first spoke to eachother in De Stijlloods"
The stranger looked around him but he saw no familiar face.
"Where is your own partner, Claudia?"
"Ah, I did not tell you. He's the Invisible Man. He protects me wherever I go"
"Does he wear glasses for his own protection?"
"No, he does not need them. He is invisible, but mighty strong"
When Claudia was sipping her fresh coffee, she took out the pair of glasses that
she had spotted
"These glasses look even stronger than the blended myodiscs. But the frame is
really beautiful. Quite modern", she said.
"They are ordinary myodiscs with high index lenses", the stranger replied,
"They are close to minus twenty".
"I feel that these glasses may have something to tell us", Claudia said in a dreamy
voice. "Can I try them on?"
"If you feel up to it after all you have gone through", the stranger said.
Claudia put on the myodisc glasses and gazed around her. She then seemed to
concentrate on something invisible but this time there was no strain, let alone panic.
