"I say, Sam," interrupted Rik, "don't you think there's just a possibility of our becoming a large long-exhausted company if you don't bring this interesting lecture to a close?" "Shame! shame! uncle Rik," cried Robin. As the rest of the company sided with him, the captain had to give way, and Sam went on. "I won't try your patience much longer; in fact I have nearly come to an end.
And those mighty car-warriors sometimes proceeded in haste, carrying their mother on their backs; and sometimes they proceeded in disguise, and sometimes again with great celerity. And they used to study the Rik and the other Vedas and also all the Vedangas as well as the sciences of morals and politics.
All I know is that we shall be sent to the East somewhere." "Bah! boo! Why does nobody ask for my opinion on the matter?" said uncle Rik, as he gazed at the company over a goose drumstick, which was obviously not tender. "Your opinion, brother," said Mr Wright, "is so valuable, that no doubt your nephew has been keeping it to the last as a sort of tit-bit eh, Robin?"
And he was fanned with a Chamara perfumed with celestial scents. And he was eulogised by many Gandharvas headed by Viswavasu and others, by bards and singers, and by foremost Brahmanas chanting Rik and Yajus hymns. And the mighty son of Kunti, approaching Indra, saluted him by bending his head to the ground. And Indra thereupon embraced him with his round and plump arms.
And O regenerate one, it is I who, assuming the form of a boar, had raised in days of yore this earth sunk in water. In consequence of my energy from my mouth, my arms, my thighs, and my feet gradually sprang Brahmanas and Kshatriyas and Vaisyas and Sudras. It is from me that the Rik, the Sama, the Yajus, and the Atharvan Vedas spring, and it is in me that they all enter when the time cometh.
He also who knows this rises above all evil. Rik and Saman are his joints. So much with reference to the devas. Now with reference to the body. Now that person who is seen within the eye, he is Rik, he is Saman, Uktha, Yajus, Brahman. Up.
Four knights were slain, and he would have been seized, had not a Gascon knight, named Guillaume des Porcelets, called out that he himself was the Malek Rik, and allowed himself to be taken. Richard offered ten noble Saracens in exchange for this generous knight, whom Saladin restored, together with a valuable horse that had been captured at the same time.
That is to say, not bad news, certainly, but amazing news. Boh! I'm a fool." He stopped short after this complimentary assertion, for uncle Rik had somewhere read or heard that joy can kill, and he feared to become an accomplice in a murder. "Come, Rik, don't keep us in suspense," said his brother, rising; "something has happened."
Robin had just returned home after the laying of the 1866 Atlantic Cable, as briefly narrated in the last chapter. It may be said with some truth that the old home became, during the next few days, a private lunatic asylum, for its inmates went mildly mad with joy. Chief among the lunatics was uncle Rik, the retired sea-captain.
"Yes, then they'll bu'st," repeated Rik, with an approving nod at Robin; "you're right, my boy, and the sooner they do it the better, for I'm quite sick of their flashings and crashings." "I rather suspect, Sam," said Mr Wright, "that the gentlemen with whom you dined the other day would not agree with uncle Rik." "Whom do you refer to, George?" asked Mrs Wright.
