“Good thing there’s no polite company here,” Midge says. If Robert’s seen her act (and she’s not sure if he has), he would know that her sense of humor is ribald. She’s not easily offended.
Midge nods. “I’ve heard of it, though I’ve never been there.” Most of her life has been spent in cities and that’s generally where she prefers to be. Maybe she just hasn’t been to the types of rural places that would hold her interest.
“Non,” she replies. “Tres petite.” That’s probably not how to say that she knows very little French, but that only underscores her point. “I speak Hebrew and Russian, though I read and understand them far better than I can speak them.”
Midge turns to look at him. “What other languages do you speak?” It’s an assumption that he does, based on the fact that he travels so much.
