Marquise Diamonds are also occasionally called Navette, meaning “small ship” in French. ...

In the initial part of the story Lushkoff comes across as a characterless lazy moron who wants easy life.
Indian marriages are mostly 'arranged'. It is said that it is not only the two persons who get married but also the two families who get married to each other. Therefore, Indian parents still play a big role in finding a bride or groom for their children.
Once there lived a poor woodcutter. He used to cut trees in the woods. One day he was cutting wood on the bank of a river. His axe fell down into the river. The river was deep. He could not take his axe out. He sat on the bank and began to weep.
Mercury, the god of water appeared. He asked the reason of his weeping. The woodcutter told the whole story. Mercury dived into the water and brought a golden axe. The woodcutter refused to take it. Mercury again dived and brought a silver axe. The woodcutter did not take it either. Then he brought an iron axe. The woodcutter took it gladly. Mercury was much pleased. He rewarded the woodcutter with the other two axes.
Moral: Honesty is the best policy.
