'Perhaps the. Indian gentleman's servants all sleep downstairs,she thought sadly.
Her life was very lonely now. She saw becky every day, of course,but they did not have much time for talking.The cook and the other servants were not friendly . Sometimes,at night ,ermengarde came up to sara is room ,but it was not easy for her to come often. Then one evening, sara was in her attic when she heard a noise on the roof.she looked up-and there at the open window was a small monkey.
'Oh ,you dear little thing!' Cried sara .
At once,the monkey jumped down and began to run round the room .sara laughed.she got up on the table and looked out of her window,and at the next window she saw a face-the smiling face of an indian lascar. 'Oh,cried sara,'have you got a monkey? He is in my room.'
The lascar's name was ram dass,and yes,it was his monkey.he gave sara a big smile.
'I am so sorry,'he said sara.'Can i come and get him?' Oh' yes,please,' said sara. I think he is afraid of me.And he runs so fast! But can you get across the roof?'
Yes,Ram dass could , and a minute later he was in sara is room . Soon the monkey jumped into his arms,and ram dass thanked sara again and again . Then he went away , across the roof,back into the house next door.
