Baba then retired for the night. Two or three hours later, Baba had Francis Brabazon, Bill Le Page and Reg Paffle called to find out the cause of noise on the roof. A high wind had started. They got ladders and climbed up to investigate. They checked a frame carrying a banner of welcome as the possible cause, but found it secure.
Baba then smiled and said, "This has given you three more opportunities to see me."
That day the Daily Telegraph had carried a story about Baba's arrival with this headline: "Man of Tongues and of None." The article read: "Meher Baba has the gift of tongues — he has mastered six languages. But he speaks none of them."
Baba had stated to the reporter, "I have come to awaken people to the one God, one humanity, one brotherhood. I have not come to teach a new religion but to revitalize the existing ones."
The next morning at 8:00 A.M., Saturday, 11 August 1956, the group assembled before Baba. Baba asked about their health, how they had slept, and joked with them. Baba then played marbles with the children. Baba even showed Bernard Bruford, 13, a trick shot. He had Bernard place a marble on the tips of his fingers and hold it in the air. Baba stepped back about four feet and fired another marble in the air at it. Baba missed the first time but then struck the marble Bernard was holding twice in a row.
Baba was standing by the doorway as the children were leaving, when he asked several of them, "Who am I?"
Different answers were given. Bernard said, "The greatest man on Earth!" This made Baba very happy and he lifted his hands up in jubilation.
Afterward a general darshan program for the public was held from 9:00 to 11:30 A.M. Almost 150 people came. Baba stood on the sandstone slab at the doorway of Meher House to greet the crowd, paying special attention to the children, including some of the workmen's children. Baba distributed prasad of dried fruits and nuts. May Lundquist cooked fish for Baba's lunch that day.
