Children of the Wolf
“IT is strange how those two took up my days. I was rarely with Rama and the other children except at meals, and I did not miss them, although until the arrival of the wolf-girls they had been my only companions. Instead I followed the wolf-children around, followed as closely as I dared, watching as they crawled or scuttled around the compound, in the part of the courtyard shaded by the giant jackfruit tree.
Their loincloths were continually soiled with dirt and dog droppings and their own unte...nded filth. As fast as Mrs. Welles changed them, she was never fast enough. and I was not allowed to do that office for them. Yet I found that their filth did not offend me. Amala and Kamala were like infants or baby animals, blissfully unaware that what they did might wrinkle the noses of fastidious human beings.
Indira openly mocked them. Rama made his abhorrence clear by the way he walked around them, never looking directly at them, not even letting his eyes slide toward the corner they had made their own.MoreLess
