"Skib, skib, skibble de de dosh!" Again the deep and sweeping courtesy and chanting of the weird words. The final "dosh!" held, in its low, fierce tone, all the significance of abject adoration. With that "dosh" had the child Priscilla wooed the favour and recognition of the god. It was a triumph of appeal.
"It means," she breathed, advancing upon her mother's retreating form, "it means skib, skib, skibble de de dosh!"

An unknown element was here.
It was a beautiful thing, that dance, grotesque, pagan, and yet divine, and through it all, panting and pulsing, sounded the strange, incomprehensible words: "Skib, skib, skibble de de dosh!"

The words came of their own volition; they were part and kin to the mood that held and swayed her.
