The Chairman. All those below the grade of Lords of the Absence of Paths in the Abyss of the Great Gulf Fixed will kindly leave the Court. I will myself set the example.
[Exeunt. Bones and Bowley soli.
Bowley. Your method of keeping silence is a good one. Dialogue is the best form, after all. But hush! who comes?
Enter the Yonly Yeats, with druid apple-blossom in his hair, and the druid casting-net of the stars in one hand. Does his turn and exit.
Bones. To continue—True! And saying "true," let us discuss "truth." In the lower worlds, where are we? Take this frivolous Mrs. I. Why does she elude Mrs. J.? From fear.
Bowley. Fear is failure.
Bones. More, G. H. Frater! It is the forerunner of failure.
Bowley. I certainly recommend people to be without fear.
Bones. The more so that in the heart of the coward virtue abideth not.
Bowley. Pass thou on!
Bones. I take in my hand page 39 of your able monograph and follow my guide Axiokersos, the Second of the Samothracian Kabeiri, to the Portal on whose is veil written "No separate Existence!" If I assert my own point of view, I deny the Unity—But hush! who comes here?
Enter Whitehead, eguilibrist, does his turn, makes a Long Nose, and exit.
Bowley. Re what you said just now, you can't play at Kether down in Malkuth!
Bones. I scorn the remark. Wait! By answering the fool according to his folly
Bowley. You degrade yourself to his level. But hush! who comes here?
