expensive. As Baba wished, Margaret and I also stayed there during the week. Baba, for his own reasons, did not wish to be among too many Indians, so he slept and lived at number 46 (another branch of the Club a few doors away). He liked his room which was airy and large. Adi and one other slept there in the same home, the others in the Club's main house. Food was sent in but, as it was not too good, we had extra sent in from an Indian restaurant. Baba enjoyed it.

I met Baba and party the next day, Monday, May 9th at Dover; and fortunately, too. It had been a very bad crossing and the party was ill and looked like nothing on earth. Being there early, I was able to book two carriages on the Boat Train for the party and order hot tea. Baba's Karam board was left behind but turned up a few days later. Some were sad on this last stage of the journey, as Baba was to leave us in five days to go to America. He, too, was sad and little was said during the next two hours.

The following five days in London were very hectic and rushed; running up and down endless flights of stairs (there being no telephone extension), visitors, and always questions to ask. Meredith and Margaret were staying at Stephanie's for the five days and Kenneth Ross was also in town. Tod was busy seeing to tickets for passage and other necessary details.

I recall an incident when Baba went to see Meredith's mother one afternoon and left us to take the boys, with Kenneth Ross, to town to buy suits. Baba expected to be back at five, but none of us had heard him say that we too must be back then. We walked across the Park to Hyde Park Corner (a bitter day) and took the bus to the Strand, got out and looked in many shops, but found nothing suitable. We then had tea at an A.B.C. near Somerset House. Here I left them to continue their shopping with Kenneth, while I hurried back to Lancaster Gate. In a few minutes after leaving the shop, almost at the corner of Waterloo Bridge Road, I saw a man's shop with suits around the price Baba had told the boys to pay. I retraced my steps and met the boys coming out of the tea shop. I walked with them to this shop and saw them enter, then returned home, walked upstairs tired and out-of breath, and saw a silent gathering — Baba and the rest of the party. I knew something was wrong and was quickly informed by the others. Why had I not brought back the boys as ordered, at five? I explained where I had left them and that they knew nothing about returning at five, and that I had come along early to explain where they were. This did not satisfy Baba. He walked up and down the room, reading out front the board that such a thing had never happened before, the boys would not dare to disobey him, etc. I was actually sent down to telephone to
