Question

house without her mother’s knowledge. But she managed this without too much

difficulty. Every day after lunch her mother would nap from about one to four or so. Valli

always used these hours for her ‘excursions’ as she stood looking from the doorway of

her house or sometimes even ventured out into the village; today, these same hours

could be used for her first excursion outside the village.

Are you looking for ounces or fluid ounces? If you are looking for fluid ounces there are 15.34 fluid ounces in a pound of water.

I can't remember exactly, but I think 18 ounces in a lb. You might want to double check that.
