(Exit Gopi.)
FIFTH ACT—SECOND SCENE.
The Bedroom of Nobin Bose.
Aduri crying when preparing Nobin’s bed.
Aduri. Ah! ha! ha! where shall I go? My heart is on the point of bursting. They have beaten him so severely that the pulse is moving very slowly; our mistress will die as soon as she sees this. When Nobin was taken by force to the Factory, they were tearing themselves and weeping under the shade of that tree; but when brought towards our house, they did not see that.
(Aside.) We shall take him into the house.
Aduri. Bring him into the house. None of them are here.
Enter Sadhu and Torapa bearing the senseless Nobin on their shoulders.
Sadhu. (Making Nobin Madhab to lie on the bed.) Madam, where art thou?
