Told by Sylvia Whitehead
' I opened the back door to find Sarah standing there. She was rather beautiful in an Egyptian sort of way. Her whole attitude was one of take it or leave it—couldn't care less. Yet there was something else, something unfathomable, which bothered me.'
The story is about the relationship which developed between two people of utterly dissimilar backgrounds and traditional beliefs, and the self-awareness and the deeper understanding of their environment which came to them both as a result.
