The Poison Tree

CHAPTER IX
3/8

If I have a desire on earth it is for my husband's love: of that love Kunda Nandini is cheating me.

Do not think evil of your brother; I am not reproaching him.

He is virtuous, not even his enemies can find a fault in him.

I can see daily that he tries to subdue his heart.
Wherever Kunda Nandini may happen to be, from that spot, if possible, he averts his eyes; unless there is absolute necessity he does not speak her name.
