Wilfred smiled and said to Mido, “Mido, go and get a pot of charcoal fire for Mr. Peters, and have the heat turned up.”
Mido quickly replied, “Very well, father.”
Adrian smiled and echoed, “Mido, thank you!”

Wilfred invited Adrian to sit in a cold wooden chair. As soon as he sat down, he couldn’t help but stand up again. He said, “Oh, old man, I’d better wait for the charcoal fire to come before sitting. It’s too cold to bear it…”
Wilfred nodded and said, “We are not hospitable enough.”
Adrian waved his hand, saying, “I arrived at night and disturbed you. It must be inconvenient.”
