1 The Nawab, at the head of his table, also appeared to be listening to his guest with attention and respect.

2 Olivia first met the Nawab at a dinner party he gave in his palace at Khatm.

3 The Common Nawab is found all over Asia and is a superb specimen with a wingspan of about ten centimeters.

4 Nawab leaned the bike on its kickstand each evening and waited for his girls to come, all of them, around him,[] jumping on him.

5 A little courage, thought FakhrLI, and I will be a nawab.

6 It was their fault, coming with such tales to frighten her; and talking like that about the Nawab.

7 But also that day he sent a note to the Nawab, regretfully declining the invitation. 28 February.

8 She was lonely, and it was decent of the Nawab to have called on her.

9 Probably now that she had gone they were talking more freely-about the Nawab and his mysterious misdeeds.

10 It happened - whether by accident or design Olivia didn't know-that she and the Nawab were the last two players left.
