Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)

Rama laughed. “Goodness, it’s almost time for Evensong. Come, say your prayers with Mama and get into bed.”

“I’ll wait for Ajibai.”

“You don’t have to wait for Ajibai when I’m here.”

“Ajibai always says my prayers with me. She says I must say them with her last thing before bed.”

“Ajibai won’t mind.”

“No. Ajibai always comes before she goes to church.”

“Manorama Mary, I’m your mother. It’s my duty to hear your prayers. I insist you kneel and begin.”
