Ninth entry

Dear diary,
I went to Tulsi's house to vist Bill.I was surprised to see the cage was empty!He told me that Bill was gone. I thought that Bill died and felt a tingle of remorse.I told him the photograph would remind him of the dead Bill. To relieve the gloomy atmosphere, I suggested a meal at Mansur's. However, he told me that he had lost his taste for that. I was so surprised. Then he explained that his blood pressure had gone to normal since he took chakra-parna. I showed him today's newspaper.There was a report about an unexpected threat to poultry and domestic animals. It was believed not to be tigers. A witness said that it was a 2-legged animal.I am beginning to suspect something.

Eighth entry

Dear diary,
I made two enlargements of the photographs.One gave to Tulsi and another I took it to the ornithologist Ranajoy Shome. It was because he had just written an article in the weekly magazine Desh.However, he failed to identify the bird. When asked where can the bird be seen, I lied to him without blinking an eye that a friend had sent this photograph from Osaka and wanted me to help identify it. This reason kept him satisfied.

Seventh entry

Dear diary,
Both Tulsi and I were having tea and a small chat,I heard from him that ever since Bill arrived, crows and sparrows had stopped coming to the flat. He thought it was a blessing because the sparrows would build nests in the most unlikely places, while the crows would make off with food from the kitchen. All that had stopped.Natobar feeds it meat with pincers. Whenever Bill gets nasty, amazingly, one sight of him calms it down.
