Chapter 12 + 13 Flashcards
Aruna would … Cousin Ramu? … And anamika - …?
Pay no attention, she is too busy
Where was /he/?
Had marriage /devoured/ her?
Uma stares into their faces
With open defiance
She will read a poem or two, and find
The pleasure they deny her
Her toes twiddle
With delight
‘Come fly
With me darling - fly’
Mama’s voice is …
Battering it, sharp as an axe
Her silence
Roars at them
‘/this/, this is
What I know. And you, you /don’t/’
She no longer had fits: it was as if the
Plunge into the river had caused the fits and hysterics to be carried off by the currents
Only at night the idea that
There was someone who /had/ won what she desired would come winging through the dark
‘Job?’ Gulped Uma, having never
Aspired so high in her life
Papa looked … And mama …
Incredulous
Outraged
The frown was filled with everything he though of
Working women, of women who dared to presume to step into the work he occupied
Uma’s head was … Her lips were…
Bobbing
Fluttering: yes, yespleaseyes.
‘What will my
Madcap do next?’
