"When you're satisfied a woman's 'really' poor you never give her a crust?" "Do you call Nanda a crust, Duchess?" Vanderbank amusedly asked. "She's all at any rate, apparently, just now, that poor Tishy has to live on." "You're severe then," the young man said, "on our dinner of to-night." "Oh Jane," Mrs. Brook declared, "is never severe: she's only uncontrollably witty.
On their heads are pitchers full of curd and as a magical means of ensuring prosperity, they proceed to throw it over the gathering. Nanda presents them with cloth and betel and they depart elated at the news. Some days later Nanda learns of Kansa's order to seize all male children and, deeming it prudent to offer presents, he collects the cowherds in a body and goes to Mathura to pay tribute.
Nanda praised to the satellite so fantastically described the charming spot she had quitted, with the effect that they presently took fresh possession of it, finding the beauty of the view deepened as the afternoon grew old and the shadows long.
Seeing them busy, Krishna asks Nanda what is the point of all their preparations. What good can Indra really do? he asks. He is only a god, not God himself. He is often worsted by demons and abjectly put to flight. In fact he has no power at all. Men prosper because of their virtues or their fates, not because of Indra.
"You're too much one of us all," he continued. "We've tremendous perceptions," he laughed. "Of course I SHOULD have come for him. But after all," he added, as if all sorts of nonsense would equally serve, "he mightn't, except for you, you know, have asked me." Nanda so far accepted this view as to reply: "That's awfully weak. He's so modest that he might have been afraid of your boring yourself."
Longdon's expense to expose everything and criticise. Father and mother, in Scotland, are on a grand campaign. Well" she pulled herself up "I'm not in THAT at any rate. Say you've lent Harold only five shillings," she went on. Vanderbank stood smiling. "Well, say I have. I never lend any one whatever more." "It only adds to my conviction," Nanda explained, "that he writes to Mr. Longdon."
He had got up to make room for his host of so many occasions and, having forced him into the empty chair, now moved vaguely off to the quarter of the room occupied by Nanda and Mr. Cashmore. "That's very well," the Duchess resumed, "but it doesn't at all clear you, cara mia, of the misdemeanour of setting up as a felt domestic need something of which Edward proves deeply unconscious.
Nanda had by this time seated herself, taking her place, under the interest of their talk, on her mother's sofa, where, except for the removal of her long soft gloves, which one of her hands again and again drew caressingly through the other, she remained very much as if she were some friendly yet circumspect young visitor to whom Mrs. Brook had on some occasion dropped "DO come."
Nanda sees the force of Krishna's remarks and holds a meeting. 'Do not brush aside his words as those of a mere boy, he says. 'If we face the facts, we have really nothing to do with the ruler of the gods.
Flutes and drums play and in the midst of the throng Balarama sings and dances, clasping the cowgirls to him, making love and rousing them to ecstasy. Night after night the dance is performed, while each day Balarama comforts Nanda and Yasoda with news of Krishna. One night as his visit is ending, he feels exhausted and commands the river Jumna to change its course and bathe him with its water.
