‘Smile’ is one of Lawrence's shorter pieces, a thumbnail sketch of an idea. A man is relived that his wife is dead and struggles to hide his relief when confronted with his wife's body. The relief breaks out in a smile which he struggles to excuse. How much better it would have been, Lawrence seems to be saying, if he had just laughed out loud!
