The resounding horns, passengers have started boarding the ship. There were scenes of cries, hugs, and the opportunistic traders who tried their last minute ditch to make more moneies from selling their sutff to the passengers. Here, there was a old lady fortune teller bending at waist trembling in the crowd, in her hand she carred a string of shell and gem stones that become the center of attraction of the crowd.
The sparkling ray filled the mystical illusion and the ranbow colors were so maystifuing that the poeple were unable to neglect its existence. The old lady started chanting and her lips could not stop her whispers as it was talking to oneself or it was a curse but on one could understand. Where did this old lady came from? Nobody knew. The mysterious old lady as if was descended from the sky, even those busy hawkers were mystified by her present. they started whispering, trying to eavesdrop her whereabouts, however, nobody knew. Thd dismayed and disapointed Miss Adela who determined to leave alone, went on a sightseeing cave tour to ease her mind, her mind was completely blank, she did not want to recall anything about her first ovearsea trip in her life. Prior to her arrival, she had great expectation and dreams, and as a result of the trip to India, all her dreams and hopes were shattered, especially what had happened in the cave sightseeing tour. She only had her pride and dignity to remind her.
In fact, there was only a ray of light from the cave, what happened was a mater of induction or perception. She did not want or need to explain, she just wanted to leave this sorrowful place which was a colony of England- a place she deemed as chaotic and low -class. Her fiance did not stop her insistence to leave this city, her engagement as a result of this was called off. No one knew what would happen next.
