With Clive in India

CHAPTER 2: The Young Writer
6/25

My nephew will tell you what are the hours for meals.

Of course, you will want to be gadding about with him.

You will understand that there is no occasion to be in to meals; but if you are not present when they are upon the table, you will have to wait for the next.

I cannot have my house turned upside down, by meals being brought up at all sorts of hours.
"You must not expect me, Niece, to be at your beck and call during the day, as I have my business to attend to; but of an evening I shall, of course, feel it my duty to accompany you to the playhouse.

It will not do for you to be going about with only the protection of a hare-brained boy." The remainder of Charlie's stay in London passed most pleasantly.
