How delicious ! The prospect tempts even me, a hermit! But never mind, dear, about this wedding. Let it be. I tell you when you wed there'll be no lack of nieces in his household.
Madhav

Fakir, now that Uncle's off, just tell me, has the King sent me a letter to the Post Office?
Gaffer
I gather that his letter has already started; but it's still on the way.
