The Poison Tree

CHAPTER XX
6/14

My husband is about to be married to Kunda.

I have arranged this marriage.

Widow-marriage is allowed in the Shastras, so what fault can be found with it?
The wedding will take place in a couple of days; but you will not be able to attend, otherwise I would have invited you.

Come, if you can, in time for the ceremony of _Phul Saja_.[13] I have a great desire to see you." [Footnote 13: _Phul Saja_.

On the day following the wedding, the bride's father sends flowers and sweetmeats to the friends.] Kamal could not understand the meaning of this letter.
