Chapter Five

Sita lay awake most of the night worrying about Wilfrid Blunt and at the same time terrified in case one of the people who had been killed in the bazaar was her friend.

And yet, something told her that if he was dead she would have known it and she was sure with an instinct that could not be denied that he was alive.

She lay there in the dark calling to him for help and feeling because he had been so positive that they could communicate with each other in that way and that he would hear her.
