Our singing master Vishnu would sometimes chaff him: "Look here, Munshi, you'll be taking the bread out of our mouths at this rate!"
我们的歌唱老师毗湿纽偶尔挪揄他道：“你看，门希，像你这样唱，会让我们把嘴里的面包都呕吐出来的！”

This shows that the Munshi was amenable to soft words; and in fact, whenever we wanted we could persuade him to write to the school authorities to excuse us from attendance.
