1970 - There's A Hippie On The Highway - Plot & Excerpts
The air was still and hot, and on either side of the road dense mangrove thickets made a solid black wall.They walked silently: Harry just ahead: both of them preoccupied with their thoughts, but aware of each other and contented not to be alone.They had left Yellow Acres soon after 19.00 hours. Each had been given a large wrapped parcel which Morelli had said was a little snack in case they became hungry during the walk. There had been a lot of hand shaking, and Harry had promised to look in on his way back.He was now thinking of Maria, comparing her to the girl he had spent two nights with in New York who continually called him ‘Ducky’, chain smoked even when they were making love and was as full of boring problems as a pod is full of peas. He wondered about Maria’s ease of manner and her apparent simplicity.Maybe, he thought, she too had problems, but was in control of herself. He rubbed the back of his neck, thinking. Everyone had problems these days. It depended on how they coped with them.
