It was to you that Baron [ Pondicherry's last French governor] said he wanted to be buried in my woolen blankets! (laughter) Yes, it seems he was cold. S. looks after him, and she wrote me that he would wake up shivering; she asked me, "Could you send him a blanket or two?" It seems there was in the meditation hall one of those big wooden trunks full of magnificent woolen blankets! So I sent him two. I only said, "Provided he doesn't carry them away with him ... because he's quite capable of taking them!" (laughter) Then he told F. he was, oh, so happy: "I'll ask to be buried in these blankets"!
