One after another the names were called Allarakhkhi fixed her gaze on the trees across the way. She no
longer cared whose name was being called, who was collecting pay, and who was starting or laughing at
her. Suddenly, she heard her name and was startled. Slowly, she walked ahead with slow steps. The

if she was given even half her pay. She stood there for a second to see if the paymaster would ask for the
money back.
