Still," he added good-humouredly and as to minimise if not the cause at least the consequence, "I think I agree with Nanda that it's no worse than anything else." Mrs. Brook had recovered the volume from Mr. Longdon's relaxed hand and now, without another glance at it, held it behind her with an unusual air of firmness. "Oh how can you say that, my dear man, of anything so revolting?"
He then assumes the spirit's form himself, telling Nanda and the cowherds that in response to their worship the mountain spirit has appeared. The cowherds' eyes are easily deceived. Beholding, as they think, Govardhana himself, they make offerings and go rejoicing home. Such an act of defiance greatly enrages Indra and he assembles all the gods.
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.
Edward appeared for a moment at a loss. "Tishy Grendon and her craze for Nanda." "Has she a craze for Nanda?" "Surely I told you Nanda's to be with her for Easter." "I believe you did," he bethought himself, "but you didn't say anything about a craze. And where's Harold?" he went on. "He's at Brander. That is he will be by dinner. He has just gone." "And how does he get there?"
As God they offer to you prayers, penance, sacrifice and love. How then can they deny you food? Krishna replies that they should not worship him for he is only the child of the cowherd, Nanda. He was hungry and they took pity on him, and he only regrets that being far from home he cannot return their hospitality.

Pile on the fire and close up the ranks; this WAS our best hour, you know and all the more that Tishy, I see, is getting rid of her superfluities. Here comes back old Van," she wound up, "vanquished, I judge, in the attempt to divert Nanda from her prey.
Of course he has only taken it for three or four weeks, but even for that time it's a handsome compliment. He doesn't care what he does. It's his way of amusing himself. He amuses himself at our expense," the girl continued. "Well, I hope that makes up, my dear, for the rate at which we're doing so at his!" "His amusement," said Nanda, "is to see us believe what he says." Mr.
Nanda was once more and completely now enthroned in high justice. "Oh he's more old-fashioned than you." "Much more," said Mr. Longdon with a queer face. "He tried," the girl went on "he did his best. But he couldn't. And he's so right for himself." Her visitor, before meeting this, gathered in his hat and stick, which for a minute occupied his attention. "He ought to have married !"
This minister, also called Vishnugupta, is famous as a writer on Nity or "rules of government and polity", and the reputed author of numerous moral and political precepts commonly current in India. Nanda is slain by the contrivances of this wily Brahman, who thus assists Chandragupta to the throne, and becomes his minister.
"We shan't need any pistols, whatever may be decided about the post-chaise; and any flight we may undertake together will need no cover of secrecy or night.
