Froggy claims that Charlie cannot talk because he is a 'foreigner' from an exotic country, and does not understand English. When people at the lodge try to talk to Charlie, however, he remains silent: he is terribly shy, depressed about his wife's illness, and cannot find the words to reply. The shy Charlie agreed to accompany Froggy on the trip after his sick wife begged him to go. Two Englishmen, Froggy and Charlie, arrive as guests at a fishing lodge in rural Tilghman County, Georgia.
