102.3

The friends with whom I had travelled from Agrah to Bengal were anxious on this occasion to repay me for the kindness I had done them in taking them as my companions. They came to interview me, and by a long argument tried to draw from my purse three thousand rupees. They said if I gave them the three thousand rupees, they had the power of arranging a very profitable marriage for me. They supposed that at the time I knew nothing of this proposed marriage, and thus they came confidently hoping to suck these three thousand rupees out of me. With an unmoved face I gave them my thanks, saying that I had no wish to marry. Worn out by talking, they had to quit my dwelling without the rupees.
