from previous

....Tracy and mikeal sat in the back seat  comfortably  with their luggage,  the  tall elderly man who got down after them from the train  was in the passenger seat of the van
Father  addressed  mikeal to the   man who was so helpful to them,  mikeal  s tone was saturated with pure reverence for spending  the time  traveling from Hyderabad to Karachi  together  in a most amiable manner  now the  wonderful man was  going with them to drop them at their place,  this type of kindness in human beings was already extinct, 
The good old man had told Tracy and mikeal his name was Father  Jacob  and for past three hours  he was  playing a most convincing role of a priest 
The reason  mikeal and his daughter  blindly began trusting him 
Peter  said softly  Jacob to the man in the driving seat they were to first drive to the sadar and then to the chapel,  was that  instruction clear  
Peter   shortly  answered in a monosyllable 
Father Jacob rubbing his throat declared he wanted something to  drink to   remove  the dryness,  if there was  anything  available,  Peter  had mineral water and juice to offer,  Jacob asked for mineral water because he wouldn't take glucose much but Peter must  give the  juice to the guests , Peter  drove the van out from the railway  vicinity and obediently followed Jacob's  orders
