Did she not work continually without ever looking to her own comfort ? Did she not know thatt it was her interest to keep in with her ?2 She had always taken care so to conduct herself as to give her cruel and malicious sister-in-law no reason whatever"28 SVARNALATA [...] and went off again saying to her only I am not going to wait for supper I am going to the jaltm."
