ten o'clock
It was Sunday . There was no magistrate 's court sitting . Both husband and wife were looking expectantly along the road , waiting from early morning for Raicharan 's appearance . At ten o'clock he came , leading Phailna by the hand . Anukul 's wife , without a question , took the boy into her lap , and was wild with excitement , sometimes laughing , sometimes weeping , touching him , kissing his hair and his forehead , and gazing into his face with hungry , eager eyes . The boy was very good-looking and dressed like a gentleman 's son . The heart of Anukul brimmed over with a sudden rush of affection .
