Mrs. Donaldson is a fifty five year old widow, with a conventional daughter who tries to make sure her mother lives in reverence of the memory of her husband. She plays the role of different patients and their illnesses in order to illustrate Dr. Ballantyne’s classes. Mrs. Donaldson begins to discover depths within herself that she had previously been unaware of. / La señora Donaldson es una viuda reciente, de cincuenta y cinco años, con una hija casada, puritana e insoportablemente convencional que pretende que su madre viva reverenciando la memoria de un difunto marido muy aburrido. Aburrimiento contra el que la señora Donaldson no se rebelaba, y ni siquiera cuestionaba, educada en la firme creencia de que ser y hacer lo que se espera de nosotros son los pilares de la cotidiana felicidad. O conformidad. Pero ahora su vida comienza a cambiar. Ha conseguido un trabajo en un hospital: actúa interpretando a pacientes, con sus correspondientes enfermedades, para ilustrar las clases del doctor Ballantyne. Y, de interpretación en interpretación, la señora Donaldson comienza a descubrir pliegues y honduras que ignoraba de sí misma. También ha alquilado una habitación a una pareja de estudiantes que le proponen un pago en especies para saldar lo que le deben: le ofrecerán un espectáculo porno sólo para sus ojos. Y ella, contra todo pronóstico, acepta, los contempla y cuando terminan les ofrece una taza de té.
