1. What on this Hemmingway short story?

"Up in Michigan"
The story opens in a small town in Michigan called Horton’s Bay. The countryside round about the town is farming and timber country and catches breezes from Lake Michigan. Jim Gilmore, originally from Canada, is the town blacksmith, does a good job, and takes his meals at D.J. Smith’s, where Liz Coates works in the kitchen. Liz is obsessed with Jim but he doesn’t think about her much beyond a vague sense of appreciation at how neat her hair is.

Liz and Mrs. Smith see Jim, D.J. Smith, and Charley Wyman off on a fall deer-hunting trip. The women were cooking for four days beforehand and although Liz wanted to make something special for Jim, she was too embarrassed to attempt it.
Anticipation of the Jim’s return builds inside Liz all the time they are gone, but when they do return with three deer, she is disappointed because nothing special happened. That night, Charley Wyman stays to supper at Smith’s and the men drink whiskey before dinner. Dinner passes without incident, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith go upstairs, leaving Jim and Charley drinking together in the front room and Liz in the kitchen.
Jim comes out of the front room obviously drunk and enters the kitchen, where Liz is reading a book. He starts touching her, and though she is shocked because no one has touched her before, she enjoys it. Jim suggests they go for a walk and they exit the house, kissing on the way down to the warehouse on the dock.
