had died some months before and added that he had left them neither money nor any property. She further told that

How old is the edifice, guide?
Madame, it’s a 15th century edifice.
What a wonderful edifice it is!
It was built by Akbar, the emperor of India.
Oh! I see.
Madame, we should move now. The sun is about to set. It would be dark.
Isn’t the place safe?
It is. But, the security does not allow anybody after the sunset.
