Ghorepani, 1943

The village men found Lieutenant Harper asleep next to what remained of Alisha’s funeral-pyre, beside the fast-flowing stream in the valley bottom where, a day or two before, her ashes had washed away. I wanted to go with them, but they wouldn’t allow me to. They said there weren’t enough lamps to go round, that I didn’t know the path, and that it would be dangerous for me. I watched them set off at midnight down the street with their sticks, pegs and ropes, in case they had to climb. The light from their oil lamps cast eerie, flickering shadows as they moved between the village buildings.
