Well, first of all, that they had noticed each other. In addition, that they both belonged to the Homo sapiens species. And that they were of the male and female gender respectively. That they were not carrying a weapon and that, at least at first glance, they did not have any hostile intentions. That they both were, at that moment at any rate but most likely for some time, all alone. That for them to go for a swim this early in the morning at a pebbled beach, however much it hurt their back and the soles of their feet, they must have sought out solitude and could not stand all the noise and hubbub.

Even if she neither was nor pretended to be, not even close, a “goddess of beauty”. But that it lifted her up was a fact. The plane had barely landed on the island and already she could feel it either trailing up from her buttocks to her breasts and from there to her face, or, on the odd occasion, following the opposite route in-stead. From that moment on, whether she was dressed up, in her swimming costume, topless or completely in the nude, it pursued her. She had gotten used to it. In her country it was almost non-existent. There, the men did not fixate on passers-by.

Where she was actually from, it occurred to Babis through proof by contradiction. What the heck, he could identify his female compatriots from miles away, thanks to the characteristic manner with which they carried themselves around the beach, a manner

That phrase is grist to the mill to a prone to easily criticism critique which will of course accuse you of what?
