April 14. “Goodnight, Button.”

“What! We’ve not had any kind of dialogue and your opening line to me is goodnight! I can’t believe this.”

“I’m sorry but I have a very bad backache and must go to bed at once. Once again, my apologies.”

“Okay. Maaf kar diya but can we, please, get on with our story? Soon.”

“Certainly. Tomorrow. I promise.”

“You seem worried. Is anything the matter?”

“Sadhu has a very bad wound on his back again. He was perfect yesterday!”

“He survived the first time after you both cured him. Let’s hope he gets lucky this time round. He must be in agony.”
