And of all the priests the one that mattered most was the venerable High Priest of Hec. It was to this prelate, therefore, that Ascobaruch made his way at the close of the proceedings.
The chariot drove on, till now it took the road adjoining the royal Linx. A wall lined a portion of this road, and suddenly, from behind this wall, there rent the air a great shout of laughter. "Pull up!" cried Ascobaruch to the charioteer. He had recognized that laugh. It was the laugh of Merolchazzar. Ascobaruch crept to the wall and cautiously poked his head over it.
The cheers which greeted the words showed how correctly he had voiced popular sentiment. Of all those who had listened to the High Priest's speech, none had listened more intently than the King's half-brother, Ascobaruch. A sinister, disappointed man, this Ascobaruch, with mean eyes and a crafty smile.
"Of course," went on Ascobaruch, "you had an excellent subject. I mean to say, inspiring and all that. Why, by Hec, even I though, of course, I couldn't have approached your level even I could have done something with a subject like that. I mean, going off and worshipping a new god no one has ever heard of. I tell you, my blood fairly boiled.
"O man of infinite wisdom," cried the High Priest, warmly, "verily hast them spoken a fullness of the mouth!" "Is it a wager?" said Ascobaruch. "It is a wager!" said the High Priest. "That's that, then," said Ascobaruch.
"The muneecipal linx." "Tell me, fellow, why do you talk that way?" "Whitway?" "Why, like that. The way you're talking." "Hoots, mon!" said the charioteer. "His Majesty King Merolchazzar may his handicap decrease! hae passit a law that a' his soobjects shall do it. Aiblins, 'tis the language spoken by The Pro, on whom be peace! Mphm!" Ascobaruch sat back limply, his head swimming.
