  12. The only snag in Comrade K.N.M Pillai’s plan was Velutha.

  13. Foreign Objects Lodged Up Their Noses.

  14. Minutes before that picture was taken she had finished explaining patiently to Estha and Rahel . . .how there was a pretty good chance that they were bastards, and what bastard really meant.
