Peter has brought a photograph, not his tools, into the hospital. It shows the rocking horse he made for his daughter. One ear leans outward. He had planned to correct it, but his daughter declared that the horse was listening round a corner. After that, straightening the ear would have been an insult. Peter remembers the large furniture he made less clearly than that small decision. He turns the photograph towards the visitor chair. There, he says, is the only commission whose customer improved the design.
