Pigji! Dogji! What do these fat slugs from Calcutta know? He draws and draws and draws, and talks and talks and talks, and his maps are all wrong. I, Janki, know that this is so. When a man has been shut up in the dark for thirty years, God gives him knowledge. The old gallery that Tibu's gang made is not six feet from Number Five.
'The name only had slipped my memory. Tibu's gang's gallery is here. 'A lie, said Kundoo. 'There have been no galleries in this place since my day. 'Three paces was the depth of the ledge, muttered Janki without heeding 'and oh, my poor bones! I have found it! It is here, up this ledge.
