    She is smiling at him, and her expression is eager and curious. When she opens her lips to speak, he doesn’t realize, at first, what is happening. The words sound to him like noises only, like the low guttural clucks the hunters make when they are soothing their dogs at night, but then, with a shudder of dismay, he understands she is talking to him in a crude but recognizable form of English, that she is trying to say “good-bye.”“Gud bye,” she says to him, smiling still. “Gud bye.”He frowns at her, then shakes his head. He feels exposed and sullied by her efforts. Ashamed. It is as if a bright, burning light has been flashed upon the two of them and their pitiful nakedness has been revealed to the world.
