Ramila : I hope so. It's nearly three o'clock. Goodnight dear.

Ramesh . Oh, hell! What's that? They are having a row now.

Ramila : I'm not surprised. They always have rows after parties.

Ramesh : I'm certain that they are throwing pots and pans again.

Ramila : No, I'm sure that was a plate dear, maybe the TV. They'll be
sorry in the morning.

(After some time)

Ramila : Silu's Papa! Listen. There’s someone in the garden next
door.

Ramesh : Eh! It must be the milkman.

Ramila : No. I am certain it's not him. It's too early. Who could it be?
You'd better have a look.

Ramesh : All right. Gosh! It's Mr Dahal and there is no doubt that he's
carrying a spade.

Ramila : Oh, no! You don't think he has killed her, do you?
Ramesh : If he's killed her, he might be burying the body.

Ramila : What? You don't think so, do you?

Ramesh : He can't be planting potatoes, can he? Shall I call the
police?

Ramila : No, ask him what he's doing first!

Ramesh : Hello, there, Mr Dahal. You are up early this morning.

Dahal : I haven't been to bed yet. We had a party last night. I hope
we didn't keep you awake.

Ramesh : Oh, no. We didn't hear anything, nothing at all.

Dahal : Well, it was a pretty noisy party. My wife knocked over
the goldfish tank while we were clearing up. The poor fish
died. I'm just burying them before the children wake up.
