[[Morya\|M.]] tells me he gives me ''carte blanche'' to tell anything I like to you, he will not have me say a word to [[Allan Octavian Hume\|Hume]]; nor would he ever forgive you — he says, were you to interfere between the punishment of Hume's pride, and — fate. [[Edmond W. Fern\|Fern]] is not really to be blamed, for thinking that so long as the result is accomplished the details are of no account, since he was brought at such a school, and that he really has the welfare of the Cause at heart, whereas, with Hume — it is really ''bona fide'' Selfishness, egotism — the chief and only motive power. "Egotistic philanthropist" is a word which paints his portrait at full length.		any price could I but recall the event and replace my letter with somebody else's message.

Khool]]'s or M.'s production — the former felt quite proud and begged my permission to precipitate another such likeness, for Col. Chesney. Of course, the permission was granted, though I laughed at the idea, and M. told D.K. that the Col. would also laugh at what he will suspect as my conceit.

	In the interval, I, fearing that [[Edmond W. Fern\|Master Fern]] may, perhaps, place the portrait in the folds of [[Colonel Chesney\|Col. Chesney]]'s "napkin," and produce some "spiritual manifestation with his foot" — I wrote to you from Poona through [[Damodar K. Mavalankar\|Damodar]], giving you a very broad hint I believe, which, of course, you did not understand but will now. Meanwhile, yester morning [[[[Djual Khool\|D.K.]] came and told me that Fern still had his picture and that he feared that some trick had or would be played. Then I immediately aroused my too indifferent Brother from his apathy. I showed to him how dangerous was the situation left in the unscrupulous hands of a boy, whose sense of morality was still more blunted, by the "[[probation]]" tests and deceit which he regarded nigh as legal and permissible and — aroused him finally into action. A telegram was sent to Fern in [[Morya\|M.]]'s own handwriting, this time, from the Central Provinces — (Bussawla, I believe — where lives a [[chela]]) ordering Fern to send on immediately the packet he had for the Colonel to his address by post — and Fern, as I see received it, yesterday, in the forenoon, by our time (Tuesday, 22). And thus when you hear of it, you will know the whole truth.		In the interval, I, fearing that [[Edmond W. Fern\|Master Fern]] may, perhaps, place the portrait in the folds of [[Colonel Chesney\|Col.
