"But from the beginning to to-day I would cut the throats of all the Sahibs in the land if I could. Hold me fast, Sahib, lest I get away and return to those who would follow me. I forgot them when I was in Burma, but now that I am in my own country again, I remember everything." "Do you remember that you have given me your Honor not to make your tendance a hard matter?" said the Subaltern.
And I am a Sahib. 'Friend of all the World, the lama looked directly at Kim 'I am an old man pleased with shows as are children. To those who follow the Way there is neither black nor white, Hind nor Bhotiyal. We be all souls seeking escape. No matter what thy wisdom learned among Sahibs, when we come to my River thou wilt be freed from all illusion at my side. Hai!
Villages have almost come to blows over the honour of bearing it, for not only has the lama given them blessings, but his disciple good money full one-third Sahibs' prices. Twelve miles a day has the dooli travelled, as the greasy, rubbed pole-ends show, and by roads that few Sahibs use.

"Let us go back, sahibs," cried Me Dain, beside himself in terror of the awful reptiles now coming down stream upon them with frightful rapidity. "Let us go back.
