How much they take? Asked the driver when his mate returned.
Ten shillings.
You see, said the driver to obi. You see what you do. Now i pay ten shillings, not two.
The driver did not speak to obi for the rest of the journey. The woman with the baby fell asleep.
Obi thought about clara. He had asked her about her friend ship with sam okoli.
Are you in love with him? Obi had arked her.
Nonsense! Clara had replied. Sam and i are old friends - that's all.
