Sir, – My seven-year-old granddaughter got sick on the footpath at Lincoln Place in Dublin last Friday. Immediately an American visitor opened his rucksack and pressed a wad of paper hankies into my hand. Another passer-by stopped and handed me a hair bobble to hold her hair back, and a young woman came out very willingly and cheerfully with a bucket and mop from a nearby hostelry to clean up, despite the busy lunch hour.
Three acts of kindness that gladdened my heart.
