With a half-uttered sigh she drew off her sandals and tucked them carefully beneath the silver zone that held her sarong in place. "Anak," he said softly, as they left the hot, red streets, filled with lumbering bullock-carts and omnipresent rickshas, "why do you look away when I talk of our marriage?
