THE WRECK

"Aren't you well? What's the matter?" asked Kamala, turning round again.

"I'm not exactly unwell, it's nothing at all really; I feel like this sometimes. Please go on again."

"Would you like to see the picture in my geography primer?" asked Kamala, bent on entertaining him with her newly-acquired learning.

Ramesh demanded its production with apparent alacrity.

Kamala brought her book at once and held it open in front of him. "These two globes that you see," she proceeded, "are really one. You know, one can never see both sides of a round thing at the same time."

Ramesh appeared to ponder over this. "It's the same if a thing's flat," he remarked.

"That's why the two hemispheres are shown sepa- rately in this picture," went on Kamala ; and thus they spent the first evening of the holidays.
