in a restaurant near Ephesus

Here Thelma is having a fruit juice, but she didn't mind having Turkish tea, which is ultra sweet and is more like a dessert than a drink. Thelma wasn't keen on Turkish coffee, though, which I like, but which is very strong and with all the dregs left in. With Thelma I never had to be aware that I am Hungarian and she is different by being Scottish-English. She was the woman I had been looking for in any part of the world including Hungary and England. She settled close to my heart and talked to me as if we had been born in the same town, wherever that may be. To me she was just the perfect woman and perfect wife in any language and under any label. She was unique - even in her own family. It is a truism that you don't miss your water until your well runs dry.
