The date of her second journal entry is February 16th. The narrator is in Satipur, where she has found a room, in which she feels very private and comfortable. From her window she can look down at a bazaar, which she likes to observe. In her room she has just a little furniture, so she fears that her sparse furnishings disappoint her landlord, Inder Lal, who coincidentally works near the house where Olivia had lived with Douglas.
