The woman with the red bandanna shakes her head sullenly, but the bare-legged girl with the bright face counts on her fingers—five, six! "Six, sir!” Six grown people and five children. "Only five,” she says with a smile, swathing the little one on her lap in its cruel bandage. There is another in the cradle.
