(2) Back home at two-thirty, Bepin Babu lay down in bed and tried to
gather his wits together. He knew that it was possible to lose one's memory
through an injury in the head, but he didn't know of a single instance
of someone remembering everything except one particular incident - and
a fairly recent and significant one at that. He had always wanted to go
to Ranchi; to have gone there, done things, and not to remember was
something utterly impossible.
At seven thirty, Bepin Babu's servant came and announced, “Chuni
Babu, sir. Says it's very important."
Bepin Babu knew what Chuni had come for. Chunilal had been at
school with him. He'd been having a rough time lately and had been
coming to see him about a job. Bepin Babu knew it was not possible to
do anything for him and, in fact, told him so. But Chuni kept turning
up like a bad penny.

(4) What does the phrase "turn up like a bad penny' suggest ?
