Paragraph 14

In plain words

It is nearly nine. The Master is in his room. Manomohan has come from Konnagar with his family. He bowed to the Master and said, "I am taking them to Calcutta." The Master asked after their welfare and said: "Today is the first of the month, an agastya day, and you are going to Calcutta! Who knows, my dear fellow!" He laughed a little as he said it, and spoke of other things.
