In Chapter 19, on the way to the Futuremouse presentation, Millat finds his last name, "IQBAL," etched into a wooden bench. In an extended flashback, the narrator recounts Samad, soon after immigrating to England, bleeding out of his thumb after a kitchen accident. Unsure what to do, Samad traces his name in blood, then uses his knife to finish the artistic job:
After a while, he gave up holding his thumb upright and let it hang down to the floor like halal meat, hoping it would quicken the bleeding process. Then, with his head between his legs, and his thumb leaking onto the pavement, a primitive impulse had come over him. Slowly, with the dribbling blood, he wrote IQBAL from one bench leg to the next. Then, in an attempt to make it more permanent, he had gone over it again with a penknife, scratching it into the stone.
