Excerpt from Turkestan Solo

Just as I am about to throw an eggshell into the fire the woman puts out her hand. What does she want to do with it? I pass it to her but she looks dissatisified. How irritating it is not to be able to understand each other.
"Bother!" says Mila, "it's an egg she wants and there aren't any left."
