" Anjan was Batty because Bhattacharya had too many syllables. He’d told one man his first name; the fellow had blinked, and then had immediately dubbed him John. That’s who they thought he was: John Batty. These well-meaning English boys had taken his name as easily, and with as much jovial friendship, as their fathers had taken his country. And Emily had called him Bhattacharya. He’d fallen a little bit in love with her the moment she’d said his name as if it had value. His fist clenched, but he kept on smiling. "
