The two brightest lights of Theosophy being in the same place at once in company with the Ashes of Madame Blavatsky, an Inquiring Soul thought the time propitious1 to learn something worth while. So he sat at the feet of one awhile, and then he sat awhile at the feet of the other, and at last he applied2 his ear to the keyhole of the casket containing the Ashes of Madame Blavatsky. When the Inquiring Soul had completed his course of instruction he declared himself the Ahkoond of Swat, fell into the baleful habit of standing3 on his head, and swore that the mother who bore him was a pragmatic paralogism. Wherefore he was held in high reverence4, and when the two other gentlemen were hanged for lying the Theosophists elected him to the leadership of their Disastral Body, and after a quiet life and an honourable5 death by the kick of a jackass he was reincarnated6 as a Yellow Dog. As such he ate the Ashes of Madame Blavatsky, and Theosophy was no more.
