Harihar Ray:
I was collecting rents today when I met a distinguished looking fellow. He suddenly bowed deeply and said, "Sir, you don't know me, but I knew your father well. He often officiated as a priest at my house." "What's your name?" "Mahesh Biswas." "What do you want?" "I have something to ask you." "What?" "My whole family would like to be initiated next month. It would be wonderful if you could officiate." Quite wealthy people.
Sarbojaya Ray:
Did you say you'd do it?
Harihar Ray:
Are you crazy? Accept right off? They'd think I was hard up.
Sarbojaya Ray:
Let them. We are hard up.
Harihar Ray:
There could be a scandal if people found out his caste.
Sarbojaya Ray:
Who would tell them?
Harihar Ray:
You never know. Maybe you. I know how you women are.
Sarbojaya Ray:
I'm busy enough without running around telling your business.
Harihar Ray:
Don't be angry. The job's not going anywhere. I told him we'd discuss it after the festival. I mustn't seem overeager. Try to manage till then on what I gave you. That should cover clothes for the kids and a shawl for Auntie.
