Chapter 14 Summary

Roxana goes to Chateau Felicity to visit Coomy and Jal. Waiting for the elevator, she runs into Edul Munshi, the inveterate handyman that everyone dreads. Roxana makes the suggestion that Edul might like to help fix up the ceilings in Coomy and Jal's apartment. Edul is delighted. In fact, he wants to go up there with Roxana right away and start working on an estimate for the materials, but Roxana persuades him to let her talk to Coomy first. She does so. Jal, who is delighted to see her, agrees right away, and Coomy agrees after a while, realizing that Edul has the reputation of taking forever to finish any job. If they give him the okay to fix the ceilings it will take so long that she will never have to worry about Nariman coming home.

Mr. Kapur is still wrapped up...
