Baba inquired where Ivy Duce was, also Helen Webb. Both were ill, but the Master sent for them, saying it was their last chance to see Him in His physical form. Then He began to joke a bit with us all. He twitted Dr Kenmore about eating so much ("right after breakfast he is hungry"). When He heard "Energy" and Mrs. Bahjejian had gotten back their passports from the thieves, He said, "Nothing goes anywhere but it comes to Me. Remember that you wanted to give Me 400 Rupees?

All during this time the musicians were tuning up off-stage and wetting their "whistles" with tea. Eruch told us the better the musician, the longer it took to tune up. Tomorrow we were to hear musicians from The All-India Poona Radio Station. Perhaps hinting this would be the last Sahavas, Baba said there would be no other opportunity to hear music like this in His Presence.
