NINETEEN
Again, the car sickness. By the time we drove past the bulletriddled sign that read THE KHYBER PASS WELCOMES YOU, my mouth had begun to water. Something inside my stomach churned and twisted. Farid, my driver, threw me a cold glance. There was no empathy in his eyes.“Can we roll down the window?” I asked.He lit a cigarette and tucked it between the remaining two fingers of his left hand, the one resting on the steering wheel. Keeping his black eyes on the road, he stooped forward, picked up the screwdriver lying between his feet, and handed it to me. I stuck it in the small hole in the door where the handle belonged and turned it to roll down my window.
Farid gave me another dismissive look, this one with a hint of barely suppressed animosity, and went back to smoking his cigarette. He hadn’t said more than a dozen words since we’d departed from Jamrud Fort.
“Try a lemon.”
“What?”
“Lemon. Good for the sickness,”
Farid said. “I always bring one for this drive.”
“Nay, thank you,”
I said. The mere thought of adding acidity to my stomach stirred more nausea. Farid snickered. “It’s not fancy like American medicine, I know, just an old remedy my mother taught me.”
I regretted blowing my chance to warm up to him. “In that case, maybe you should give me some.”

法里德又鄙夷地看著我，眼中的嫌惡不加掩飾，然后收回目光，繼續(xù)抽煙。自從我們離開雅姆魯?shù)卤疽詠?，他跟我說的，只有寥寥數(shù)語。
“吃個檸檬試試?！?br />“什么？”
“檸檬。對暈車很有效。
”法里德說，“每次開這條路我都會帶一個。”
“不用，謝謝你。
”我說。光是想到要我吃下酸的東西，就夠我反胃的了。法里德冷冷一笑，“它不像美國藥丸那樣靈妙，我知道，不過是我媽媽告訴我的古老藥方罷了?！?br />我后悔白白放過這個和他套近乎的機會，“要是那樣的話，也許你可以給我一些?！?
