== Epilogue ==

What's interesting to me about the whole thing is that at no point was I certain that I should intervene. I wasn't entirely certain to start with that the lady was being bothered. At the end of the whole thing I was still left somewhat confused as to whether what I did was right.

Most of the girls to whom I tell this story seem to think I did a right thing, though not all the right things, I suppose. I choose to believe that they find it easier to recognize the signs.

The other thing was that I could easily have missed all of this. I believe I was reading [[wikipedia:Moll Flanders|Moll Flanders]] from a 1920s copy from a delightful used bookstore I've never rediscovered. If I hadn't looked up to see where I was I might have entirely missed what was going on next to me. But real life is full of detail and things going on.

On the whole, I think I did the right thing. I wish there was some way for me to tell, though.
