‘There’s going to be a moon tonight,’ said Nick. He looked across the bay to the hills that were beginning to sharpen against the sky. Beyond the hills he knew the moon was coming up.
‘I know it,’ Marjorie said happily.
‘You know everything,’ Nick said.
‘Oh, Nick, please cut it out! Please, please don’t be that way!’
‘I can’t help it,’ Nick said. ‘You do. You know everything. That’s the trouble. You know you do.’
Marjorie did not say anything.
‘I’ve taught you everything. You know you do. What don’t you know, anyway ’
‘Oh, shut up,’ Marjorie said. ‘There comes the moon.’
They sat on the blanket without touching each other and watched the moon rise.
‘You don’t have to talk silly,’ Marjorie said; ‘what’s really the matter ’
‘I don’t know.’
‘Of course you know.’
‘No, I don’t.’
’Go on and say it.’
Nick looked on at the moon, coming up over the hills.
‘It isn’t any fun any more.’
He was afraid to look at Marjorie. Then he looked at her. She sat with her back towards him. He looked at her back. ‘It isn’t fun any more. Not any of it.’
She didn’t say anything. He went on. ‘I feel as though everything was gone to hell inside of me. I don’t know, Marge. I don’t know what to say.’
He looked at her back.
‘Isn’t love any fun ’ Marjorie said.
‘No,’ Nick said. Marjorie stood up. Nick sat there, his head in his hands.
‘I’m going to take the boat,’ Marjorie called to him. ‘You can walk back around the point.’
‘I’ll push the boat off for you.’
‘You don’t need to,’ she said. She was afloat in the boat on the water with the moonlight on it. Nick went back and lay down with his face in the blanket by the fire. He could hear Marjorie rowing on the water.
He lay there for a long time. He lay there while he heard Bill come into the clearing, walking around through the woods. He felt Bill coming up to the fire. Bill didn’t touch him, either.
‘Did she go all right ’ Bill said.
‘Oh, yes,’ Nick said, lying, his face on the blankets.
‘Have a scene ’
‘No, there wasn’t any scene.’
‘How do you feel ’
‘Oh, go away, Bill! Go away for a while.’
Bill selected a sandwich from the lunch basket and walked over to have a look at the rods.

Text 2
The dealers did not glance at one another nor at the pearl. The man behind the desk said, “ I have put a value on this pearl. The owner here does not think it fair. I will ask you to examine this – this thing and make an offer. Notice,” he said to Kino, “I have not mentioned what I have offered.”
The first dealer, dry and stringy, seemed now to see the pearl for the first time. He took it up, rolled it quickly between thumb and forefinger, and then cast it contemptuously back into the tray.
“Do not include me in this discussion,”he said dryly. “I will make no offer at all. I do not want it. This is not a pearl – it is a monstrosity.” His thin lips curled.
Now the second dealer, a little man with a shy soft voice, took up the pearl, and he examined it carefully. He took a glass from his pocket and inspected it under magnification. Then he laughed softly.
“Better pearls are made of paste,”he said. “I know these things. This is soft and chalky, it will lose its color and die in a few months. Look –.” He offered the glass to Kino, showed him how to use it, and Kino, who had never seen a pearl’s surface magnified, was shocked at the strange-looking surface.
The third dealer took the pearl from Kino’s hands. “One of my clients likes such things,” he said. “I will offer five hundred pesos, and perhaps I can sell it to my client for six hundred.”
Kino reached quickly and snatched the pearl from his hand. He wrapped it in the deerskin and thrust it inside his shirt.
The man behind the desk said, “I’m a fool, I know, but my first offer stands. I still offer a thousand. What are you doing ” he asked, as Kino thrust the pearl out of sight.
“I am cheated,”Kino cried fiercely. “My pearl is not for sale here. I will go, perhaps even to the capital.”
Now the dealers glanced quickly at one another. They knew they had played too hard; they knew they would be disciplined for their failure, and the man at the desk said quickly, ‘I might go to fifteen hundred.’
But Kino was pushing his way through the crowd. The hum of talk came to him dimly, his rage blood pounded in his ears, and he burst through and strode away. Juana followed, trotting after him.
26.The text is taken from ______.
A.Heart of Darkness
