Zorba's booming, gravelly, jovial, challenging, welcoming voice should be wafting back and forth across the camp as he told one person to get working faster, asked another person about his sick uncle, pontificated on the philosophy of monogamous vs. polygynous marriage, and so on and so forth. But there was only silence.
