S. M. | Yes, your honour. | |
|---|---|---|
F. | But I thought that you said “Harmonium by - Mohin Chander Tagore” or some thing like that? | |
S. M. | Yes your honour, the Harmonium on which he is playing was made by Mohin Chander Tagore. | |
F. | Oh! That is what you meant! I see. | |
S. M. | How does your honour like the music? | |
F. | If you want me to be plain Sabapathy, I must tell you that I do not like it at all; it bores me. | |
S. M. | I am glad we both agree your honour, that is exactly what I feel when I hear some English music. Sometimes when a band plays, I call it—earboring ceremony. | |
F. | Ah Ah! Ear-boring ceremony is a funny expression. But I am glad you are plain-spoken. | |
S. M. | I am always so, your honour. I will stop this music; and go to the next item. “ஐயா!” (to the musician) வாசிச்சது போதும் நிறுத்துங்க. Next item in the programme, is “The Mathermatical Prodigy” — Gopalakrishna Naidu, வாங்கையா சீக்கிரம். | |
F. | What is the matter with him? He seems to limp. | |
S. M. | Yes your honour, he is suffering from Hypnotism. | |
F. | Hypnotism! What do you mean? | |
S. M. | He has got pain in the hip. | |
F. | Oh! I see! What does the gentleman do? | |
S. M. | Now, your honour, give him any question in arithmetic, Youkiled, allzebra (Euclid, Algebra). He will answer in half a minute. You give him any question in square root, cube root, or any root, he will polish it off in half a minute. | |
F. | I will give him a question in multiplication. Please multiply (Writing in a piece of paper) 567,928 by 160,727. | |
G. N. | 180 521. | |
F. | What 180521. That cannot be correct. Let me work it out (working). |
