They had reconciled themselves to the disappointment in store and were feverishly engaged in making alternative arrangements, for they had heard that the was in high floods and that I was at . So they feared that I might not be able to cross the floods and come south in time for this engagement. From the fact that I had permitted them to announce My arrival for the function, they could well have inferred that the floods would subside and that I would be in their midst, for, once My word goes forth, it must happen accordingly. Do not doubt it. The furious waves calmed before ; the floods went down in time for Me. We left last night at 11 p.m. and reached at about dawn. From there we motored throughout the day, without as much as a halt on the way, not slowing down even when the and others accosted Me near the bridge on the outskirts of this town, for I was determined to be here at 5 p.m. as promised. Let me reveal to you that the organisers were caught a little unawares; they were confused by rumour that I was held up and that I could not be reached by post or telegram or telephone. They asked Me for some time, about two hours they said, for hastening with the arrangements!
