The plumber is wild-eyed and intense. He's short, skinny, with sharp features, jutting cheekbones. He wears a filthy shirt and a lungi tucked up over his knees. He walks briskly, carrying his bag of tools. He's earnest, he wants to explain what has gone wrong. He puts his lips to clogged pipes and blows on them like a trumpet to show you they are jammed.
Today he finished a job, and there was half a bag of white cement left over. He placed it carefully under one of the rocks around the pool in the atrium, and said, "Let this be kept here." I said, "I'll keep it, but not here." He said "No, keep it here, it will be useful to repair joints and for other work." I said that I would rather put it in a cupboard, and he smiled politely, unconvinced.
