Question

Describe the state of mind of the cook referred to in the lesson.

Answer 1

The cook was drunk and had forgotten about preparing dishes for the dinner Mrs. Pandit had with Prime Minister of Great Britain and Lady Eden. When Mrs. Pandit entered her kitchen, the cook was waving the ladle and singing. However, instead of losing her calm, Mrs. Pandit recalled Gandhiji's advice and encouraged everyone in kitchen to work towards preparation of certain dishes.
