The
Guru and assistant having been slightly stunned by this apparition,
shrug it off and go into a
trance-like state, the Guru abruptly rattles his bell, and begins
to chant. His eyes become glazed
and he moves towards centre squatting on his haunches, followed
by his assistant who does
likewise. She has joined the chant. This very low mumbling chant
begins to influence the
Schoolgirl and Gigolo. All sorts of other people start to appear
from all directions as if called
hypnotically. Their hands are held like those of sleep-walkers
– they have a vacant expression
and are all chanting in a manner that is like a collection of
deep sonorous murmurings, waxing
and waning – never in perfect phase, and the Guru’s
lips moving all the time to an almost
unheard and unintelligible gibberish.
