It was gone. The discovery knocked her breath away and she had to sit
on the bed while the room spun around, until her breath came back in short,
agitated pants. Panic welled inside her. She tore the sheets offthe bed, crawled
on hands and knees on the cold stone floor, searching for non-existent crevices,
then feeling a heavy sickness clogging the pit of her stomach, she began
to rummage through the drawers, scattering the contents all over the room,
all the time muttering, 'O my God! O my God! under her breath, until Nilkant
found her with dishevelled hair and terrified, dilated eyes, peering into
the night.

A career. Leaving home. Living alone. These troubling, secret possibilities
now entered Uma's mind
-
as Mama would have pointed out had she known

whenever Uma was idle. They were like seeds dropped on the stony, arid land
that Uma inhabited. Sometimes, miraculously, they sprouted forth the idea:
run away, escape. But Uma could not visualise escape in the form ofa career.

WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE : Julins Caesar

(a)
CALPURNIA : Caesar, I never stood on ceremonies,
Yet now they fright me. There is one within,
Besides the things that we have heard and seen,
Recounts most horrid sights seen by the watch.
A lioness hath whelped in the streets;
And graves have yawn'd, and yielded up their dead;
Fierce fiery warriors fight upon the clouds,
In ranks and squadrons and right form ofwar,
Which drizzled blood upon the Capitol;
The noise ofbattle hurtled in the ai1
Horses did neigh, and dying men did groan;
And ghosts did shriek and squeal about the streets.
O Caesar, these things are beyond all use,
And I do fear them!
