From the gate we went up the path to the village passing as we did so a number of little boys with heads completely shaved except for the top knot. The latter was tied to a feather and buried in wads of cotton wool. |

Inside the village I noticed a long hall built upon a bridge. It contained on one side a long wooden platform with piles of bedding and on the other stools and lamps. A boy was sleeping when I entered. I was told that the hall was a dormitory and belonged to the Kavema Khel. Thirty boys of that Khel used it as their club and all of them regularly slept there. |
