After our talk, Leela began to suspect my brother of misdoings no matter the time of day. She turned about and about in bed, occasionally shuffling to the doorway on the pretense of seeking fresh air, searching for our return from the fields.

One morning the window presented my mother with a nauseating sight: a Forest Department jeep grumbling up to the front of our house. My mother found she could not move. What had Jayan done? His old sins rushed through her in a breathtaking wave.

“Who is it?” Leela called from the bed.

The car door opened, and out came a fat black shoe, mannish if not for the mud-spattered sari hem that fell over it.

“Who?”

“Hush,” was all my mother managed to say, for it was the high priestess of the greenbacks aka the lardy little Muslim aka Divisional Range Officer Samina Hakim.
