When Higgins finds out that Pickering has been in India and is the writer of Spoken Sanskrit, he exclaims that he was planning to travel to India to meet the man. Pickering is equally excited when he realizes that he has happened upon the creator of "Higgins's Universal Alphabet"--for he has traveled from India to meet Higgins. The men share a love of language and dialect.
