The Nightwatchman's Occurrence book (2010)
“Dead Chicken AND THE NEXT DAY, in spite of Chittaranjan’s plan, Harbans was in trouble, big trouble.
The day began badly, you might almost say with an omen. Foam had an accident outside Chittaranjan’s shop. Only a chicken was involved, but the repercussions of the accident were to shake Elvira before dusk.
It was just about midday when the accident happened. Ramlogan had closed his rumshop for the regulation hours from twelve to four. Chittaranjan’s two workmen had disappeared somewhere into th...e back of the shop to eat—Mrs Chittaranjan gave them food and they ate squatting on the floor downstairs. Just then the two rival loudspeaker vans approached one another.
Foam gave his speech everything. ‘People of Elvira, vote for the only honourable man fit to become an Honourable Member of the Legislative Council of Trinidad and Tobago. Vote for Mr Surujpat Harbans, popularly known to all and sundry as Pat Harbans. Mr Harbans is your popular candidate. Mr Harbans will leave no stones unturned to work on your behalf.MoreLess
