Description

Upper image: A quarrel between a husband and wife. The husband saying “Get out of my house … ”The wife asserting that she won’t go anywhere … Bad souls are encouraging and heating up the fight. All the while, money is flying away.

Lower image: A continuation from the previous page. Our rickshaw driver, in the entrance to the home, is holding a packet wrapped by a cloth wrapper (Furoshiki). He says “Thank you for riding my rickshaw a while ago. I found this in the vehicle. It seems to be yours …” The attendant says “Oh, what an honest person you are!” The young girl seems to be in love with the man, and the good souls are trying to make sure this couple gets tied together!

Any comments are welcome! (S.I)
