Footsteps

"That night, Daru cannot sleep; he dreams that there are footsteps outside. "

It is never explicitly said that the footsteps are a dream of Daru's--he just thinks they are. The story's ending and other incidents preceding it strongly suggest that while Daru assumes them to be a dream, they are the very real footsteps of the Arab's relatives, waiting to see whether Daru will send their brother to the police or not. 71.246.153.113 04:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
