And yet they are so narrow in their conception of their faith, that they declined, the other day, to receive into their fold the English bride of one of their number. Thus they decided that there is no door of entrance into their religion for any one who is not a born Parsee. It is in this city, also, that we find a large representation of another ancient cult Jainism.
Fogg and Sir Francis stood erect, the Parsee bowed his head, and Passepartout was, no doubt, scarcely less stupefied. The resuscitated rajah approached Sir Francis and Mr. Fogg, and, in an abrupt tone, said, "Let us be off!"
Depend upon it, he will be very useful and very active; so, for the present, farewell." Mr. Swinton and Major Henderson called together that afternoon, and the latter, as soon as he was admitted into the party, began to talk over the plans and preparations. "My suite is not very large," said he; "I have two horses and two dogs, a Parsee servant, and a Cape baboon.
She had often been to his place with Mrs. Lindsay; and had, from the time that she entered her service, deposited her savings with him. She had, in the first place, asked her master to keep them for her; but he had advised her to go to Jeemajee. The Parsee was, himself, in his shop. She went up to him. "You do not remember me, sahib?" she said. "I was the ayah of Major Lindsay.
An iron door admits the corpse of the Parsee, and once within the strange building it is proffered to the birds of the air gloating vultures, coarse and repugnant in every aspect.

"What are you going to do about your nurse?" "We have not quite arranged, as yet, sir; but she will, at any rate, remain here for a time.
At one time he fed me with "broon custard" pudding for about six months, until in desperation I interdicted that preparation for evermore, and he fell back upon "lemol custard."
