We had already made a trip into West Virginia, and were quite unnerved one day. A sign at the edge of a country road said ‘Eggs’, so we pulled up to buy some. It was a poor family. But when we went into their little compound, they stared at us not exactly in a hostile way but with an eery lack of expression. As though we came from another planet. Well, I suppose that from their point of view Hong Kong would be like another planet. But there was no conversation from which they might have gathered where we normally lived at that time. Still they could no doubt hear from our speech that we were outlandish. We just bought the eggs.
