The Chowkidar drove away the crying woman for the fifth time. Her daughter was lost, no trace at all. The last time she was seen was going to Babu Pasupatinath Rai’s haveli a few days ago. After that the story became many stories. Some claimed to have seen her emerge from the side gate. Others are said to have seen her leave from the main dwaar, a majestic carved hardwood notched with scenes from the epics, set to hinges that didn’t rust or creak, made by the family of local lohaars.
