Pauline said, “This is the rhetorical device called anacoenesis, in which one pretends to put oneself in the place of one’s opponent.”

I asked if she would like something to drink, something hot, alcoholic, or water perhaps, but she didn't want anything just then, she lit a cigarette, we all smoked in our office despite the regulations, apart from Mulryan who was trying to give it up, and she continued talking quickly and volubly in order not to get to the point or to the one thing that she was obliged to tell me - what a night, it feels as if it were raining all over the world, no, she didn't say that, but something similar with the same trivial meaning, if one pretends there is nothing extraordinary about one's extraordinary behaviour it can end up not seeming extraordinary at all, this very dumb trick works with the dozy, passive majority and there's nothing more useful than liberties taken and left unchecked, but neither she nor I, Tupra or Wheeler belonged to the majority, rather, we were the sort who never let go of our prey, are never dazzled and never entirely lose the thread or lose sight of our objective, or only in part or apparently. She did not cross her legs until a little while later, as if her indecisiveness about the zips on her boots were only possible while her legs remained parallel and at a right angle, nor did she use the towel I quickly handed her to dry her legs (she was wearing dusky tights, not dark or transparent; I noticed a loose thread which would soon become a ladder, even though they were winter tights), she applied it to her face, hands, throat and neck, not this time to her sides or armpits or breasts, none of those was visible.
Le ofrecí algo, caliente, alcohólico, agua, de momento no quiso nada, encendió un cigarrillo, en esa oficina fumábamos todos salvo Mulryan que se quitaba, sin hacer caso de las ordenanzas, ella seguía hablando rápido y mucho para no ir a lo sustancial o a lo único que me debía, qué noche, es como si la lluvia se hubiera apoderado del mundo, no, no dijo eso pero sí algo semejante con el mismo trivial sentido, si uno finge que nada hay de extraordinario en su extraordinario comportamiento, éste puede acabar no pareciéndolo, funciona eso tan tonto con la mayoría adormilada o pasiva y nada más útil que las confianzas tomadas y no atajadas, pero ni ella ni yo ni Tupra ni Wheeler pertenecíamos a la mayoría, sino que éramos de los que no sueltan la presa ni se deslumbran ni pierden nunca del todo el hilo ni sus propósitos, tan sólo en parte, o en apariencia. No cruzó las piernas hasta un poco más tarde, como si la indecisión de sus cremalleras sólo fuera posible con las extremidades en paralelo y formando ángulo recto, a ellas no les aplicó la toalla que le presté al instante (llevaba medias sombreadas, no oscuras ni transparentes, le vi un punto suelto, acabaría en carrera pronto aunque fueran de invierno), se la llevó a la cara, a las manos, al cuello, a la nuca, no esta vez a los costados ni a las axilas ni al pecho, nada de eso era visible.
