Waiting for him when he returned from the graveyard: a copperand--brass lamp, his renewed inheritance. He went into Changez's study and closed the door. There were his old slippers by the bed: he had become, as he'd foretold, "a pair of emptied shoes". The bedclothes still bore the imprint of his father's body; the room was full of sickly perfume: sandalwood, camphor, cloves. He took the lamp from its shelf and sat at Changez's desk. Taking a handkerchief from his pocket, he rubbed briskly: once, twice, thrice.
The lights all went on at once.
Zeenat Vakil entered the room.
"O God, I'm sorry, maybe you wanted them off, but with the blinds closed it was just so sad." Waving her arms, speaking loudly in her beautiful croak of a voice, her hair woven, for once, into a waist-length ponytail, here she was

Some of the poorer labourers had constructed rough-and-ready shelters in the angles of stout branches, and actually lived inside the dense ignored, like hopes long since shown to be false. It was a Muslim village, which was why the convert Osman had come here with his clown's outfit and his "boom-boom" bullock after he had embraced the foliage. There were branches that were used as pathways across the village, and children's swings made out of the old tree's beards, and in places where the tree stooped low down towards the earth its leaves formed roofs for many a hutment that seemed to hang from the greenery like the nest of a weaver bird.
