"excuse me, madam" the voice came from behind her, and madam ramotswe turned round to see who had addressed her. it was the waitress, a young woman whom madam ramotswe had not seen at the cafe before. "yes, madam, what is it? " the waitress pointed an accusing finger at her. "you cannot run away like that," she said. "i saw you. you're trying to go away without paying the bill. i saw you." for a moment madam ramotswe was unable to speak. the accusation was a terrible one, and so unwarranted. of course she had not been trying to get away without paying the bill - she would never do such a thing: all she was doing was trying to stop a crime being committed before her eyes. she recovered sufficiently to reply. "i am not trying to go away," she said. "i am just trying to stop that person over there from stealing from that man. then i would have come back to pay." the waitress smiled knowingly. "they all find some excuse," she said. "every day there are some people like you. they come and eat our food and then they run away and hide. you people are all the same." madam ramotswa looked over toward the stall. the woman had begun to walk away, presumably with the bangle still firmly in her pocket. it would now be too late to do anything about it, and all because of this silly young woman who had misunderstood what she was doing. she went back to the table and sat down. "bring me the bill," she said. "i will pay it straightaway." the waitress stared at her. "i will bring you the bill," she said, "but i shall have to add something for myself. i will have to add this if you do not want me to call the police and tell them about how you tried to run away." as the waitress went off to fetch the bill, madam ramotswe glanced around her to see if people at the neighbouring tables had witnessed the scene. at the table next to hers, a woman sat with her two children, who were sipping with great pleasure at large milkshakes. the woman smiled at madam ramotswe, and turned her attention back to the children. she had not seen anything, thought madam ramotswe, but then the woman leaned across the table and addressed a remark to her. "bad luck, madam," she said.
