The arrogant
postmaster who earlier had behaved so callously and rudely with Ali for
inquiring about whether there was any letter for him from Miriam, was
completely transformed after he underwent the pain of not hearing any news
about his own sick daughter who lived in a distant town. Now he empathized with
Ali. He wondered he could not bear the suspense concerning his daughter's
health only for one night and how Ali must have gone through the painful
suspense concerning his daughter, Miriam for five years! He felt remorseful for
his misbehavior. Coincidentally, when he saw Miriam's letter addressed to Ali,
he picked it up excitedly thinking he would hand over the letter himself. He realised the truth. He no longer thought of
letters in terms of envelopes and postcards. Now he saw the essential human worth
of a letter.He watched them as eagerly as though each contained a warm,
beating heart.
