The premise

Here’s the bit.

A nurse settles her patient on a park bench with his newspaper, but his quiet break ends when an eccentric woman sits beside him. Fresh from a lecture on reincarnation, she dismisses another woman’s claim to have been Cleopatra and launches into her own extravagant memories of ancient rulers, romance and animal companions. As her stories grow stranger, his attempts to summon the nurse become increasingly desperate.
