or wrestling her to the stretcher. She is having delusions, and it is
not wise to give these delusions credence by acknowledging
them, such as by shaking Mr. Nureyev's hand. She might protest
when you tell her that Mr. Nureyev is not right there dancing with
her, but your confidence and gently demeanor will more often
than not win her over to doing what you would like her to do
