A Division Of The Spoils (Raj Quartet 4) - Plot & Excerpts
‘It’s time, father.’ ‘Has Mr Mehboob arrived?’ ‘Yes, half-an-hour ago. But Hosain said you hadn’t bothered to go to bed and were only dozing, so I left you until the last moment.’ ‘Even on stationary trains I don’t sleep. Just for me we could all have come by car and not bothered with this.’ He wound his scarf round his neck and put on his cap. ‘How far is the Circuit House? I’ve forgotten.’ ‘About half-an-hour’s drive.’ ‘So near?’ On that previous occasion, coming from the Circuit House, the journey seemed endless. But that had been a journey with a joyful reunion, not a painful one, at the end, and they had driven all the way to the station at Mirat, not this station. He made a mental note: I am not fully awake – guard against these muddles. Outside in the carpeted corridor Hosain was waiting and took the briefcase from him, to relieve him both of the weight and of the supposed indignity of having to carry anything himself. Unencumbered he went to the door.
