Brook asked, "all the advantages?" "Well yes," said Nanda, who had now begun dimly to smile "call them advantages." Mrs. Brook had a pause. "One would be quite ready to do that if one only knew a little more exactly what they're to consist of." "Oh the great advantage, I feel, is doing something for HIM." Nanda's companion, at this, hesitated afresh.
He has put his finger on Nanda's true interest. He doesn't care a bit how it would LOOK for you to want her." "Don't you mean rather, Jane, how it looks for us NOT to want her?" Mrs. Brook amended with a detachment now complete. "Of course, dear old friend," she continued to Mr.
Longdon appeared to have caught from Nanda's message an obscure agitation; he met his young friend's suggestion at all events with a visible intensity. "Will you go with me?" Vanderbank had just debated, recalling engagements; which gave Mrs. Brook time to intervene. "Can't you live without him?" she asked of her elder friend. Vanderbank had looked at her an instant.
The unborn child, however, tells them not to fear and Devaki and Vasudeva compose their minds. Krishna is now born, dark as a cloud and with eyes like lotuses. He is clad in a yellow vest and wears a crown. He takes the form of Vishnu and commands Vasudeva to bear him to Nanda's house in Gokula and substitute him for the infant daughter who has just been born to Yasoda, Nanda's wife.
Longdon remained mute a while, and when he at last, raised his eyes it was without meeting Nanda's and with some dryness of manner. "The end of everything? One might easily receive that impression." He again became mute, and there was a pause between them of some length, accepted by Nanda with an anxious stillness that it might have touched a spectator to observe.
He looked off at her child, who, at a distance and not hearing them, had not moved. "I know she's a great friend of Nanda's." "Has Nanda told you that?" "Often taking such an interest in her." "I'm glad she thinks so then though really her interests are so various. But come to my baby.
"What I don't admit is that you've given me ground to take for a proof of your 'intentions' to use the odious term your association with me on behalf of the preposterous fiction, as it after all is, of Nanda's blankness of mind." Vanderbank's head, in his chair, was thrown back; his eyes ranged over the top of the room.
Devaki and Vasudeva worship him. The vision then fades and they discover the new-born child crying at their side. They debate what to do Devaki urging Vasudeva to take the baby to Nanda's house where Rohini, his other wife, is still living and where Yasoda will receive it.
Kansa receives him and on his way back Vasudeva meets him at the river. He dare not disclose his secret that Krishna is not Nanda's son but his own. At the same time he cannot suppress his anxiety as a father. He contents himself by telling Nanda that demons and evil spirits are abroad seeking to destroy young children and urges him to return to Gokula as quickly as possible.
"It has doubtless already occurred to you that, since your sentiment for the living is the charming fruit of your sentiment for the dead, there would be a sacrifice to Lady Julia's memory more exquisite than any other." At this finally Mr. Longdon turned. "The effort on the lines you speak of for Nanda's happiness?" She fairly glowed with hope.
