THE POST OFFICE
83
Headman
I say, Madhav, I hear you hobnob with bigwigs nowadays.
Madhav
Spare me your jests, Headman, we are but common people.
Headman
But your child here is expecting a letter from the King.
Madhav
Don't you take any notice of him, a mere foolish boy !
Headman
Indeed, why not! It'll beat the King hard to find a better family! Don't you see why the King plants his new Post Office right before your win- dow ? Why there's a letter for you from the King, urchin.
