The bus was half-empty and a woman of about sixty or seventy caught my eye. It was difficult to get a sense of her age, or her social class. Could she be poor? No, but she didn\u2019t seem rich either, nor did I pick up on any of that visible effort the middle class put into their appearance: dressing neatly, in complementary colors. Her clothes reminded me, more than anything, of someone trying to go incognito. She didn\u2019t come off as a housewife; I decided she had the look of a government inspector. She sat down beside me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cSe\u00f1ora, I\u2019m getting off at Pueyrred\u00f3n,\u201d I said, so I wouldn\u2019t have to get up if her stop was before mine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWorks for me,\u201d she said, \u201cI\u2019m getting off at Laprida.\u201d<!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She settled in beside the window as though she owned the seat and was allowing me to sit next to her. The bus driver was a young, pudgy guy, but agile. He drove expertly and very fast, which I noticed when we passed another 92 (they tend to run two or three at a time, the drivers amusing themselves by racing). He changed gears smoothly, as though he\u2019d been born at the steering wheel. \u201cWhoa!\u201d he said suddenly. I asked what happened. My neighbor, looking straight ahead at nothing in particular, said, \u201cShe shouldn\u2019t have passed on the right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Her tone was cold and dry and I felt ignorant. I hadn\u2019t noticed anyone crossing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe pulled it off,\u201d the driver said. \u201cWhat a brave girl\u2014sometimes girls are brave.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I didn\u2019t know what to say, because it isn\u2019t every day that a bus driver speaks. I also didn\u2019t understand why the girl had been brave for crossing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cYes,\u201d said my neighbor the inspector, \u201cBut she could end up in a tree.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This sounded a lot like a prophecy, or a desire that the girl end up in a tree. The driver cracked a smile\u2014he found something funny in the statement. A woman got on the bus; she greeted the driver, he returned the greeting. I wanted to feel worthy of my seat, so I said something about their civility\u2014I wanted the inspector woman to accept me. I referred to their greeting as an old-fashioned custom.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s good manners,\u201d she said, without looking at me.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seemed that good manners, to her, were not about doing polite things to make life more pleasant but were things of divine origin. The driver spoke again: \u201cThere\u2019s a traffic jam. Someone double-parked.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThat\u2019s not allowed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He spoke to her even though he didn\u2019t care much about good manners. I would never have known where and how to park.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere it is. Over there, at Bazterrica Hospital,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">She replied yet again. I felt a growing need to say something to him, partly to appear less ignorant and partly to take advantage of the rare opportunity to talk to a bus driver. So I said something that I immediately regretted: \u201cSir, do you like it when people greet you?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I regretted asking because I figured the woman was going to dislike my question.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen it\u2019s one or two of them, have at it, but when it\u2019s about a hundred I start thinking they want something,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s good manners,\u201d the woman insisted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wanted to ask the driver another question so I could join their conversation, but even as the questions formed in my mind, they already seemed trivial. Despite knowing I was headed toward being ostracized, I said, \u201cHow often do you take this route every day?\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFour times.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He answered me curtly, even though he wasn\u2019t the curt type. Evidently, he was speaking only with her. I had another question up my sleeve: Where did the 92 come from and where was it going? I genuinely would have liked to know. But it seemed so irrelevant (and my seatmate\u2019s silence ever so deafening) that I kept quiet. Her silence made me feel like I was six or seven years old again, playing with a nutty girl I knew back then: every time I went to do something\u2014swing in the hammock or take off running\u2014the girl would stomp her foot angrily and say \u201cNo!\u201d It made me feel like I was perpetually in the wrong. Everything I did or stood for was\u2014to that girl\u2014bad. But things were different now. I no longer felt thrashed, like a wind-beaten plant, by that uncomfortable feeling. I had built up my defenses. When we got to Pueyrred\u00f3n, I avoided every possible show of good manners: I got off the bus without saying goodbye to either of them.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Anna Vilner\u2019s translation <span class=\"il\">of<\/span> <\/em>\u201cGood Manners\u201d <em>will appear in a forthcoming collection of Hebe Uhart\u2019s <\/em>cr\u00f3nicas<em>, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/archipelagobooks.org\/book\/the-brush-copy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A Question <span class=\"il\">of<\/span> Belonging<\/a>, <em>to be published by\u00a0Archipelago Books in May 2024.
