Smriti Kumar Sinha: "A TALE OF CITIES" in SEDUCING THE RAIN GOD [collection of short stories]* (NIYOGI BOOKS, New Delhi), p. 91-93
*Translated from Bishnupriya Manipuri by Ramlal Sinha
[Being a resident of Guwahati, I can see that the story-teller is in Panbazar near WESTERN BOOK DEPOT and watching a poor baby boy, lying on the footpath in front of Shukreswar temple, getting up, crossing MG ROAD (Mahatma Gandhi Road) alone, and moving towards the narrator. This heart-touching story has the simplicity of "Ruskin Bond" stories. "A TALE OF CITIES" by Dr. Smriti Kumar Sinha reminds Me of A TALE OF TWO CITIES by the English novelist Charles Dickens.]

NOTE:
In this last section of the story, I have taken the liberty of using THEIR for HIS:
Narendra and Surabala briefed the guests with all finer details of the house. Surendra and Sunanda were glued to HIS words. (p. 13)
Narendra and Surabala briefed the guests with all finer details of the house. Surendra and Sunanda were glued to THEIR words.
WALL is used in two senses here:
(1) moss-covered brick boundary walls
(2) wire-mesh (net) walls of the poultry shed kept at the corner of two (moss-covered) boundary walls
It seems that the cock is peeping at a patch of blue sky (looking like a "frayed" jeans rag because of wire grids) through a gap between the two boundary walls.

At a hanging! ...
Better learn the ROPES now!
no shame attached to a sojourn [stay] there [jail]!
you get free and good food at regular intervals!
Only the lack of women and tobacco are regarded as deprivations!
hastily commit some offence so that they may return there [jail] again!
because as yet he had not had the official SACK!
while we waited for our hanging!
'Maung Lu Gale, committed to death for murder, you may leave this jail with my full permission and consent'!
After which Maung Lu Gale did so!
Gentlewoman for Lady!
[Cf. "patriot" Bhagat Singh was reportedly "HANGED" INSIDE JAIL by British rulers BUT his "dead body" was NOT handed over to his family ... "patriot" Arvind Kejriwal reincarnation of "patriot" Bhagat Singh?!!]
