:49:03
He said my father officiated
as a priest in his household
:49:10
Now he wants me to perform
the same duties
:49:15
They're having a religious
ceremony next month
:49:20
He wants me to baptise them
:49:25
- They are rich
- Have you agreed?
:49:29
If I agree straight away,
they'll think we are starving
:49:34
Accept at once
:49:36
The trouble is that some people
will criticize if they know
:49:42
Who will know?
:49:44
You might talk; you know
what women are like
:49:48
I have better things to do
with my time
:49:52
Don't be upset. The client
won't run away
:49:57
I mustn't seem over-eager; he can
wait until after the festival
:50:02
We'll manage on my wages until then
:50:05
The children need new clothes
and Auntie needs a shawl
:50:09
We owe Mrs Mukherji five rupees
:50:11
We'll have to pay all that
out of the wages
:50:18
And the repairs?
:50:19
We have survived the monsoon
:50:23
The repairs must wait,
but I'll get estimates
:50:27
Something must be done to the kitchen
:50:30
Don't worry. Kitchen, walls, roof,
everything will be done
:50:42
How many days to the festival?
:50:47
Twenty-one
