Well, could you do something for me? When I stayed with you in Bhopal last month, I left two library books behind at your house. I think they are still on that little cane table between the cupboard and the sewing-machine. If they are not on the table, then they must be under my pillow on the bed. Do look for them and bring them along when you come to Delhi.
Don’t forget to write and tell me when you are coming. I’ll be at the station to meet you. The train usually arrives on Platform 9. Look out for me, will you?
