When, at length, it was time to start, they escorted my short-haireddamsel, with plump shapely arms, her gold bangles and her guileless, radiant face, into the boat. I could divine that she was returning fromher father's to her husband's home. They all stood there, following theboat with their gaze as it cast off, one or two wiping their eyes with theloose end of their _saris_. A little girl, with her hair tightly tiedinto a knot, clung to the neck of an older woman and silently wept on hershou...lder. Perhaps she was losing a darling Didimani [1] who joined in herdoll games and also slapped her when she was naughty. .. .
[Footnote 1: An elder sister is often called sister-jewel(_Didimani_). ] The quiet floating away of a boat on the stream seems to add to the pathosof a separation--it is so like death--the departing one lost to sight, those left behind returning to their daily life, wiping their eyes. True, the pang lasts but a while, and is perhaps already wearing off both inthose who have gone and those who remain, --pain being temporary, oblivionpermanent.
