Explaining Coming Late

Father! I was held up due to the light failure in the town. at about 9.45, when the play was just in the middle, the light had gone off. There was a confusion worst confounded in the hall. the audience as well as the actors were much confused about what to do. I sent two ofmy friends to a tent house to arrange for 4 gas-lanterns immediately. Meanwhile I arranged for a few candles and torches for the nearby houses. with great difficulty I could control the crowd.

the two boys came back with the lanterns and after that we had a few interesting scenes from the play, just for the satisfaction of the public who were by than convinced about our helplessness. The people started cursing the Municipal authorities for the failure of the lights.

By 11, every thing was over and then only I could leave the hall after arranging for the other participants return journey as many of them had to travel long distances. Some girls were dropped by the escorts at their homes since the electric train had also stopped. We had to hire a few taxies for that.

That was the reason Mummy! for my late return. Since I was the pupil in charge for the staging of the play, I am sorry, I could not leave the stage in a chaotic condition. Hope you and Papa would not mind my late return, realising my responsibility towards my team.
