Jalil tells Nana about another child he has had, and Nana is bitter about the fact that her daughter is not counted among his children. Jalil sits with Miriam and they sing songs and draw pictures together. He tells her about events in the outside world, the coup in Afghanistan in 1973. He gives Miriam a necklace, and Miriam begins to wonder what it would be like to go through Herat, to hear people say "there goes Jalil Khan with his daughter." (p. 24). Jalil clearly plays favourites with the different children he has from different mothers.
