The Ashes of Madame Blavatsky
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 propitious 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 applied
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 standing on his head, and swore
that the mother who bore him was a pragmatic paralogism.
Wherefore he was held in high reverence, 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 honourable death by the kick of a jackass he was
reincarnated as a Yellow Dog. As such he ate the Ashes of
Madame Blavatsky, and Theosophy was no more.
