'it's just the sewage, miss. the pipes from the toilets are old and the weather is hot in india,' he explained. 'there are many people in bombay - the pipes get very full.' the taxi driver almost felt sorry for his passenger. she was middle- aged but had a pretty face and shiny dark hair, though her teeth were too big for his taste. yet …

'but it's so small!' desiree said in surprise.
