Summary
Chapter 7
The railway platform in Thabai is a place where the young people meet to talk, gossip, laugh, and flirt. On Sundays girls washed and went to the train, while men just showed up without rituals.

Gikonyo tells Mugo he rarely missed it, and Mugo says the day he missed it was the best day of his life.
Gikonyo reflects on his past. His father, Waruhiu, was a squatter on European farms and was very attractive to women. He would get tired of them and send them along their way, which is what he did to Wangari and their son. Wangari tried to send Gikonyo to school but could not afford it, so he took up carpentry. He was very good at it and loved the wood he worked with. His mother enjoyed watching him work.

The condition was/ is reasonable and fits perfectly within Articles 24, 27, 49(1) (h) and 50 of the Constitution and therefore is legal and proper. Having noted the magnitude to which corruption levels have grown, in spite of an impressive array of existing laws and institutions to fight it, and the ascent

Chapter 14
Kenya attains Uhuru on December 12, The flags are switched and even though it rains people dance and sing. Everyone waits for something to happen, and someone suggests everyone go to Mugo’s hut, where they stand outside and sing.
The next morning the drizzle becomes a downpour and the wind moans. The sky clears, though, and the celebrations begin. First there are school sports and races. The gloom is palpable until later in the day when a three-mile race is announced. All can take place and the excitement mounts.
Karanja is there even though he got Mumbi’s note, and he prepares to run the race. Mumbi notices him from where she sits with her parents, and is disturbed. Her mind flashes to the night before when Mugo confessed what he had done to Kihika. She does not want anyone to die for her brother.
Gikonyo prepares to race Karanja, seeing that they are rivals again but not sure for what since Mumbi is gone. Karanja remembers the first race and hopes Mumbi cares for him now; perhaps that is why she wrote that note. If he can be with her his life would be complete.
