After the skimpy dinner which consists of two chappaatis and one sabzi, Shri Nathji and Priya Nath discuss Mangal Singh and the untidiness he has created in the kitchen and his possible pilfering as well as his headstrong habits–sitting in the market place most of the time.“Baahar sau dost dushman hote hain, naukoron si milkar kuchh khilaa hee den!“There are so many friends and foes outside who can collude with servants and have something given to us in the food.”Shri Nathji had always warned of such a possibility and that was why Priya Nath was reluctant to allow servants inside the kitchen.
