And though they exhibited no resentment at the request, the want of delicacy and consideration on the part of Captain Cook is none the less glaring. After his death, and when the illusion of godship had subsided, his spoliation of the very Heiau in which he had been deified was not one of the least of the grievances which native annalists laid up against him."
And by this tenure may Heaven be merciful to me, a sinner do I, Nathaniel Cross, of the county of Doorham, now hold this dignity of Too-Keela-Keela, having slain, therefor, in just quarrel, my antecessor in the high godship." As he reached these words Methuselah paused, and choked in his throat slightly.
You never saw such a skin in your life." The Colonel tugged his moustache thought-fully. "Now, how the deuce," said he, "am I to include that in my report?" Indeed, the official version of the Bhils' anti-vaccination stampede said nothing about Lieutenant John Chinn, his godship. But Bukta knew, and the corps knew, and every Bhil in the Satpura hills knew.
The supreme proof of his Godship, of his complete knowledge of the meaning of life was to be found in his parables.

I have my quarrel with the book, I confess it.
Tell me of this servant of yours and how you found him in the sea." "Why should I tell you, Inca? Is it because you want to kill him who is so like to this lost Kari of yours?"

Hark you, Urco wearies me so much that sometimes I wonder whether he really is my son.
And so through the night the shuttle of superstitious talk went backward and forward and wove a still more marvellous garment of fancy to drape the reputation of elephant and man.
