...Some good ideas have come to me in letters over the years. Virgin Mobile wouldn't have existed if someone hadn't shoved a letter in my hand and said that mobile-phone customers are being ripped off and that he thought he could form a mobile company in the Virgin brand.

But she apparently never made a run for it, returning each day instead to a shed in the backyard of the man who allegedly kidnapped and raped her.
