"Nolini-da, I have received a letter from Dilip-da.""From Dilip? To you?"
"Yes. Recently I wrote an article about his father, D.L. Roy. I asked him to correct my article. He did so and sent it back to me with a letter. He has written much about you."
"About me?"
"You may wish to see it."
Nolini-da read the letter and said: "Mad, mad! Dilip compares me with his most illustrious father. He is really mad. I am sure you have told him that I am writing an article on his father."
I said: "No, I have not told him that. He has heard it from some other source, it seems."
"Anyway, if you answer his letter, tell him that I shall try to write something about his father. But don't say that I am writing something. You know me well. I may not get the necessary time to complete it."
