The story takes place in a fishing lodge where two Englishmen, Froggy and Charlie, arrive as guests. The shy Charlie agreed to accompany Froggy on the trip after his sick wife begged him to go. When people at the lodge try to talk to Charlie, however, he remains silent. Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a “foreigner” from an exotic country, and does not understand English.
