Quote
The Old General:
[Dictating his orders for welcoming the soon-to-arrive nuns]
Mr. Dean! You will receive them for me, and you will do everything for them that they want doing.
The Old General:
[Now turning his attention to Ayah]
You too. You will engage servants for them, and you will both look after them until they care to look after themselves.
Angu Ayah:
What do they eat? How do I know what nuns eat?
The Old General:
I have remembered that.
The Old General:
[Toda Rai walks over to a screened opening that looks out over the courtyard, where his men are unloading advance provisions for the nuns, who are still on their way]
Do you see that crate?
The Old General:
[He points, and Ayah squints carefully at the large wooden crates being unloaded, some of which are clearly stenciled with the word "sausages."]
Sausages. They will eat sausages. Europeans eat sausages wherever they go. They will eat them when they come and until they can tell the cook what else they want to eat.
The Old General:
[With a dramatic flourish, Toda Rai leaves the room, with these parting words to Ayah before he departs]
Now remember, Ayah, if you give any trouble, you will be sorry.
Angu Ayah:
I'm sorry NOW!
