He
went
into
a
small
restaurant
,
where
he
ate
smoked
puffin
and
cloudberries
and
arctic
char
and
boiled
potatoes
,
and
he
drank
Coca
-
Cola
,
which
tasted
sweeter
,
more
sugary
than
he
remembered
it
tasting
back
in
the
States
.
The
waiter
brought
his
bill
—
the
meal
was
more
expensive
than
Shadow
had
expected
,
but
that
seemed
to
be
true
of
meals
in
every
place
on
Shadow
’
s
wandering
.
As
the
waiter
put
the
bill
down
on
the
table
,
he
said
,
"
Excuse
me
.
You
are
American
?
"
"
Yes
.
"
"
Then
,
happy
Fourth
of
July
,
"
said
the
waiter
.
He
looked
pleased
with
himself
.
Shadow
had
not
realized
that
it
was
the
Fourth
.
Independence
Day
.
Yes
.
He
liked
the
idea
of
independence
.
He
left
the
money
and
a
tip
on
the
table
,
and
walked
outside
.
There
was
a
cool
breeze
coming
in
off
the
Atlantic
,
and
he
buttoned
up
his
coat
.
He
sat
down
on
a
grassy
bank
and
looked
at
the
city
that
surrounded
him
,
and
thought
,
one
day
he
would
have
to
go
home
.
And
one
day
he
would
have
to
make
a
home
to
go
back
to
.
He
wondered
whether
home
was
a
thing
that
happened
to
a
place
after
a
while
,
or
if
it
was
something
that
you
found
in
the
end
,
if
you
simply
walked
and
waited
and
willed
it
long
enough
.
He
pulled
out
his
book
.
An
old
man
came
striding
across
the
hillside
toward
him
:
he
wore
a
dark
gray
cloak
,
ragged
at
the
bottom
,
as
if
he
had
done
a
lot
of
traveling
,
and
he
wore
a
broad
-
brimmed
blue
hat
,
with
a
seagull
feather
tucked
into
the
band
,
at
a
jaunty
angle
.
He
looked
like
an
aging
hippie
,
thought
Shadow
.
Or
a
long
-
retired
gunfighter
.
The
old
man
was
ridiculously
tall
.
The
man
squatted
beside
Shadow
on
the
hillside
.
He
nodded
,
curtly
,
to
Shadow
.
He
had
a
piratical
black
eye
patch
over
one
eye
,
and
a
jutting
white
chin
-
beard
.
Shadow
wondered
if
the
man
was
going
to
hit
him
up
for
a
cigarette
.
