Champaklal Speaks

12 December 1934

D keeps the door of the staircase wide open while talking to L. Even when D goes inside to fetch something for L she leaves the door open. This morning I happened to open the door when L knocked. In spite of L's request to leave it open, I closed it, saying that I shall send D.

I would like to know whether I have done anything wrong in closing the door.

It is safer to keep the door closed, but you can explain to L that it is not for her, but the Mother wants it shut so that others who are indiscreet may not arrive and rush in.
