Chapter -12 The Brave Act
'It's you behind that newspaper, isn't it?' asked Sam one Sunday morning. I was hidden
behind the outsize Sunday Special I was reading. 'How do you do it, Brit?' | emerged, his
giggling twelve-year-old.
"How do I do want?'
'Live. You seem to be quite happy. Are you?'
'Of course, I'm happy!' I said indignantly. I mean, if you weren't happy, it was like flunking
your exams.
Or is it just your brave act? Smiling face, weeping heart. Y'know, like the movie we saw last
week about the circus clown, how he was always putting on his comic act while he was really
having a rotten time.'
'That was a movie. A Hindi movie.'
"So? Oh, you mustn't be snobbish,
Brit. That only means you aren't big
enough yourself. Oh, God! I didn't
mean BIG enough. I'm really sorry?
He lifted me carefully on to his lap.
I was always sitting on people's laps: at
the movies, when a tall bald man or a
fat, fuzzy-haired lady took the seat in
front of mine, in motor-cars so that I
could see the passing view, at parties
where there was a shortage of chairs,
'Happy?' said Sam. 'After everything
you've been through? After knowing what
life's going to be like?'

I was squirming like a puppy in his arms. No one likes being asked things like that. 'What do
you see in your crystal ball?' I asked.
'Well,' he said, and his eyes were sad as death, 'fractures for a few more years. Then I
suppose you'll study, but you won't get a job. You know, it's very tough getting a job these days.
I see the young boys who come to the bank with their applications. Some of them have their
MAs and they're healthy and good-looking, they're trying for a job that'll pay them eight
hundred rupees a month. And they don't even get that.... are you happy in spite of everything?
