If once we admit that ark, or arch, in the sense of 'bright' and of 'bear, existed, not only in Sanskrit, but in the undivided Aryan tongue, and that the name Riksha, bear, 'became in that sense most popular in Greek and Latin, this theory seems more than plausible.
But what I did just now any other person who spoke both languages would have been glad to do." The end of the episode was that Mme. Fontaine waited with Miss Campbell and the three girls, while Billie, in the center of a curious circle of onlookers and with the help of Komatsu, put on a new tire. "Are you in a 'riksha?" asked Miss Campbell of their deliverer.
When presently the Widow of Shanghai rode up in a 'riksha and was helped to alight by three maids at once, Miss Campbell was all graciousness and affability. Mme. Fontaine wore a beautiful white embroidered crêpe dinner dress. Her figure was so slender Miss Campbell feared it might sway and bend with the least breath of wind.
Mr. Campbell shook his head anxiously as he paced up and down the piazza waiting for the 'riksha the messenger was to send back from Tokyo. Billie's faith in her friend was wonderful. He admired it, but he was obliged to say he felt rather skeptical himself, all things considered. "There comes the 'riksha," announced Mary at last. Mr.
And Arihan took to wife Sudeva, the princess of Anga, and upon her he begat a son named Riksha. And Riksha married Jwala, the daughter of Takshaka, and he begat upon her a son of the name of Matinara, who performed on the bank of Saraswati the twelve years' sacrifice said to be so efficacious. On conclusion of the sacrifice, Saraswati appeared in person before the king and chose him for husband.

So, prepared to embrace Nancy tenderly and let bygones be bygones, Billie could scarcely wait to leap down from the 'riksha and ring the widow's bell. The house had a shut-up appearance, but all Japanese houses look thus in rainy weather.
Komatsu regarded her from a distance with respectful sympathy. "Back home," she ordered, and all the way she indulged in the bitterest weeping she had ever known in her life. "Nancy, Nancy, how could you?" she kept repeating to herself. Before she reached the house she dried her eyes and leaning out of the 'riksha let the rain beat against her face.
"Did you notice," said Mary, "that the Japanese lady in the 'riksha wore her arm in a sling?" No, they had not noticed it, but there was nothing remarkable in that. No one even commented on the fact, while they waited for Komatsu to inquire and leave their cards. "Mme.
But the "Comet," who never had any luck all the time he was in Japan, proceeded to burst one of his tires and the explosion mingled threateningly with a low roll of thunder in the distance. "We'd better take him to a garage and go back in a 'riksha," announced Billie, much annoyed. "Poor old 'Comet, it wasn't his fault, but the prologues of these storms do put one in a bad temper."
"The storm had washed the track away in places and we had to wait many times while it was repaired. As soon as I arrived, I took a 'riksha to Mr. Buxton's lodgings and then we went to see Mme. Fontaine and Yoritomo " "Oh, that widow woman," interrupted Mr. Buxton. "She's a sly one, I can tell you. As we entered the front door, she departed at the back.
