How would you interpret this sentence? How would you interpret this sentence ‘You’re very mistaken’ in the last passage? Does it mean Wilson’s opinion about the woman was wrong? Or did the woman mean that Wilson’s word ‘you’re not coming’ was wrong? Because the husband and wife were clients and Wilson was a white hunter. Wilson was supposed to serve the couple, not to prevent them from looking for fun. What do you think? Thank you. The excerpt is taken from the short story ‘The Short Happy Life of Francis Macomber’ written by Ernest Hemingway.The excerpt: “We’re going after buff in the morning,” he (Wilson, a white hunter) told her (Francis’ wife). “I’m coming,” she said. “No, you’re not.” “Oh, yes, I am. Mayn’t I, Francis?” “Why not stay in camp?” “Not for anything,” she said. “I wouldn’t miss something like today for anything.” When she left, Wilson was thinking, when she went off to cry, she seemed a hell of a fine woman. She seemed to understand, to realize, to be hurt for him and for herself and to know how things really stood. She is away for twenty minutes and now she is back, simply enamelled in that American female cruelty. They are the damnedest women. Really the damnedest. “We’ll put on another show for you tomorrow,” Francis Macomber said. “You’re not coming,” Wilson said. “You’re very mistaken,” she told him. “And I want so to see you perform again. You were lovely this morning. That is if blowing things’ heads off is lovely.”
