Mr Kelechi had a befitting bungalow with three bedrooms.

Though it had the outfit of a local building but due to it’s fashionable roof and colour of paint, it appears modernized. Inside the house, in the sitting room, are pictures and calenders on the wall.

One of the calenders also had an image of a newly ordained reverend father of a Catholic church.

A small television could also be seen on a large room-divider and at the centre of the room is a table with three chiars surrounding it.

Suddenly, Mr. Kelechi came out from his room trying to put on his redcap with a staff enclosed in his armpit.

He had a dark complexion and looking young regardless the fact that he was in his late fifties.

He also had an average height with a weak civilian typology. As he got ready to go out, Ngozi, his daughter barged in and breathing hastily to the extent she nearly pushed her father down. “What’s chasing you?” the father asked unhappily. “Papa, sir Dike..” Ngozi held her breath. “You mean Dike the grammarian?” “Yes, papa, but he’s not the one chasing me.

“Who then is cause of this panicky feeling in this hazy afternoon?” “His grammar couldn’t let me stay, so i had to run inside the house” Ngozi replied and felt a bit silly and ashamed then the father disdained her and said, “So a common grammar made you barge into my house hastily..” before he finished his sentence, a knock came from the door and Dike entered.

They have no scenario of…”“Dike..” Mr. Kelechi interrupted him. “Don’t worry, when we get to the palace, you’ll finish up your grammar.
