more confused. Mali indicated the at his side and said,
Thus
from the being she is introduced as Mali‘s wife. Without any information about
her. It is grace only who herself reveals everything to Jagan either by her
talk or by her action.
1. Grace; Emerging as a Domestic and
Caring Girl:-
The

nature make him happy. Since her arrival, she started taking care of the house.
She started visiting Jagan’s quarters and tidied then up. The roll of mat was
shaken and put away. His pillow of hard cotton patted. She washed the vessels
in his kitchen and arranged them neatly on shelf. She used to sweep floor and
when Jagan tried to stop her, she told him.
“Father, you thinking. I mind it? I don’t.
I must not forget that I’m an Indian daughter-in-law.”
She
liked to work. For her it was a very lovely house. Now there was orderliness in
their house. She always talked either Jagan very lovingly. She felt surprise
when Jagan asked her about Mali’s education in America. She told Jagan that the
letters written to him were composed by her. Her company had started giving
comfort to Jagan. He had stared liking for her.
2. Her Past:-
Grace
was a child of Korean mother and American father. Her father was a soldier. She
was born in New York. Her father had died before her birth. She had studied at
a girl’s School named Margaret’s. Then she had studied domestic science at
Michigan. She had met Mali over there when he went there for his creative
writing course. At first she was afraid to come to India as she knew about
cast-system. She had feared the she would not be accepted. But Jagan accepted
generally as there was no other way.
3. Her support to Mali fo getting
money:-
One
day Mali went to Jagan and called Grace by telling that he was discussing
business. At that time Mali wanted fifty one thousand dollars from him to set
up a factory for manufacturing novel writing machines in collaboration with his
America associates. Mali convinced so many people from Malgudi were going to
join in his “Schemes”. He said that Grace had
come to India especially for this purpose.
Mali
explains each and every detail about the story writing machine but For Jagan it
was a risky business and fifty one thousand dollars was not small amount. Mali
and Grace insisted a lot but the couldn’t change his decision. Finally one day
Mali told Jagan that Grace had come there to work and she had no work so she
was going to back. Thus Mali’s idea of sending grace back to America disturbed
Jag a lots.

she was there for the project to work with Mali. If she had nothing to do, She
would go to back to America.

girls at Dr. Kuruwilla’s house. When Jagan talked to Grace, he got the greeted
shock of his life. The great secret of Mali was revealed by grace. She told
Jagan,
“But
we are not married. He promised he’d marry me
in
the India way. But it did not happen.”
Jagan
was shocked. He felt that both of them had tainted his ancestral house. For
sometimes he barricaded himself in the one part of his house but finally
decided to leave for retreat.
5. A good Girl :-
Thus
Grace emerged as a good girl in the beinging. She supported Mali. She changed
herself in Indian ways but she couldn’t get any result for it because Mali
rejected her. But For Jagan she was a good girl. When Jagan went to his
retreat, He promised cousin that he would arrange for the fare of air ticket
whenever Grace wanted to go.
