Sir, – It is reassuring in these stressful times to experience random acts of kindness – particularly those that are incapable of direct acknowledgment.
On returning by train to Limerick after the weekend I discovered that I had absent-mindedly (well, I am 92) left the driver’s window of my car open.
An angel of mercy had taken the time and made the considerable effort to close the opening with a plastic sheet thus saving my car seats from the weekend’s torrential downpours and making my car look less vulnerable than it clearly was.
My self-reproach at my carelessness was more than compensated for by the warm glow of appreciation for the unknown good Samaritan. Please allow me through your letters column to express my sincere thanks. – Yours, etc,
