Lines from the novel 'Devdas' by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyaya

 

“Where’s Paru, Auntie?”

“In her room.”

Going up to her room, Devdas found Paru lighting the evening lamps. He

called, “What are you doing Paru?”

Startled, Paru did not reply at first, then she greeted him and stood back.

For some reason that he did not understand, Devdas felt embarrassed before

his playmate.

“I’m sort of tired today, Paru. I think I’ll go home now.”

and he left.
