Tookaram, who had gone out to fetch some 'pan' and betelnuts, on his return home had brought the two guests with him.

After returning home he gave them 'pan supari'.

While they were eating it my mother came out of the room and inquired of one of the guests, Ramji, what had happened to his foot, when he replied that he had tried many remedies, but they had done him no good.

My mother then took some rice in her hand and prophesied that the disease which Ramji was suffering from would not be cured until he returned to his native country.

In the meantime the deceased Casi came from the direction of an out-house, and stood in front on the threshold of our room with a 'lota' in her hand.
Tookaram then told his two guests to leave the room, and they then went up the steps towards the quarry.
