Note 4 — The Millet Trader
H. (Henry) Parker translation
In The Indian Antiquary, vol. xviii, p. 120, there is a story from Southern India, by Paṇḍita Naṭēśa Sāstrī, in which a youth obtained work under an appā4 (or “hopper”) woman, giving his name as “Last Year.” When he absconded with her cash-box she gave the alarm in the village by saying, “Last Year (he) stole and took my box,” and was thought to be out of her mind.
