"We have more than enough, don't we?" "It's not that" "Are they too short?" "Why do they need to be tall?" "Both of us have enough height" "But I feel they are a bit too young" "Oh!" "That's not a problem" "They may be just about 10 years younger" "After 5 years it will reduce to 5 years, isn't it?" " That's not a problem" " That's true" "After 10 years we will be same age" " Yes" " Then, it's okay" "So after 20 years will these kids be 10 years older than them?" "Oh!" "To hell with it!"

"No, the house and land is in my name" "But if they come to know that I am selling it fortheir sake ...they will be very upset" "They might even discontinue their course ...and come back here" "They have another 6 months to complete their course" "Bro, do you understand what this implies?" "Registration will take place only after 6 months lsn't that correct?" "We will proceed as decided but let it be kept a secret for 6 months" "And bear the inconvenience" "Oh!" "To bear with them..." "Understood" "After paying you the money the house registration is done and once the house is in their names ...they have to live with you for 6 months, right?" "But how will they do that?" "And if they cannot I definitely cannot lf you are in their place will you be able to?" "If you are able to then say so" "We understand the hurt you are going through mentally" "We also have the medicine to heal that" "Continue, sir" "You want a particular sum of money for which you are selling the house" "But the children should not know it isn't that correct?" "We will give you the money" "Registration cannot be kept a secret" "The news may somehow leak out lf your children come to know they will be upset" "And if they are upset we will be upset" "We have trust in you" "So we won't register now" "But how... lt's nothing" "No one need know about anything!" "But till then we will live here with you" "What?" "On rent" "Eh?" "The top floor of the house is vacant, isn't it?"

"Brandy" "Now pour it out" "Oh so he's sick, deprived of booze is it?" "Just feed him this lf you drink poisoned liquor the best antidote is brandy l read this in the papers while on my way back from Vypin" "Should it be given before food or after food?" "It was when they were struggling to save my life that you came in" "Who are you guys?" "This is what actually happened last night" "Best story!" "Why?" "You don't believe me, do you?" "Shirley, be quiet" "Do you feel any discomfort now?" " Yes..." " Oh my!" "My dear foolish sister, did you believe this stupid story?" " Don't say anything anymore" " Yes, my dear lf l cut open and show my heart she'll only say it's a red shoe-flower I am totally upset I want to lie down" "Papa, please don't over act And bring illnesses which don't exist I believe you, enough?" "But I am sure of one more thing I think these cobras are not so poisonous" "Otherwise your imagination ...wouldn't run wild like this to save them" " lsn't it?" " Oh go away!" " So were you lying?" "A little bit" "No, don't!" "Oh!" "Don't sulk You are my sweetie pie" "So, my dear...shall I ask them to come back here?" " Please?" " Thank you" "Sir, you haven't given me a reply" "What reply?"

"When did that happen?" "Not yet, but when it does things like this might happen" "Yes, correct" "Just think this was a rehearsal" "Since they cried and begged forgiveness" "Forgiveness?" "Who did?" "Not exactly, but it will happen" "Otherwise will mrjohn send us to bring you there so confidently?" "Well, why don't we go, bro?" " No, we should not rush like that" " We'll lose our weight, right?" "Let's have 2 pegs and then go What do you say?" "But didn't we decide to stop booze, bro?" "Why?" "For whom?" "Ah, why are you standing there?" " Come in" " Bro?"
