Excerpt from The City of Sunshine, Vol. 1 of 3: A Novel It was the morning after the Dewali Puja, the Hindoo "Feast of Lanterns," and though the sun was already high over head, not a soul was astir in the little village of Dhupnagar. The waters of the big tank where folks bathed the first thing of a morning, sparkled brightly in the dazzling rays, undisturbed except by the nocturnal cur that, encouraged by the unusual stillness, had ventured out of the jungle to drink. The bazaar was tenantless. Shops, with their wares temptingly exposed to any passing thief, stood open upon each side of the street; but the owners, worn out by last night's excitement, were still too sleepy to think of buying or selling.
