took a vow that he would buy every bit
that his team needed from that great firm.
There were three implications in this
letter that filled Rajam and his friends
with rapture: (1) that His Majesty's post
office recognized their team was proved
by the fact that the letter addressed to
the captain was promptly delivered to him;
(2) that they were really recognized by
such a magnificent firm as Binns of Madras
was proved by the fact that Binns cared
to reply in a full letter and not on a card,
and actually typed the letter! (3) Binns sent
under another cover carrying four annas
postage a huge catalogue. What a tribute!
The letter informed the captain that
Messrs Binns thanked him for his letter
and would be much obliged to him if
he would kindly remit 25% with the order
and the balance could be paid against the
V.P.P. of the railway receipt.
Three heads buzzed over the meaning
of this letter. The trouble was that they
could not understand whether Binns were
going to send the goods or not. Mani
promised to unravel the letter if somebody
would tell him what 'obliged' meant.
