'With the polis, said Kim ... 'Yet I saved the Kamboh's child. The lama snuffed blandly. 'Ah, chela, see how thou art overtaken! Thou didst cure the Kamboh's child solely to acquire merit. But thou didst put a spell on the Mahratta with prideful workings I watched thee and with sidelong glances to bewilder an old old man and a foolish farmer: whence calamity and suspicion.
His beating heart told him this was indeed true; but he pressed his hands over his eyes, and said: "Do not bewilder me with terror in my last moments. If thy veil conceals the features of a spectre, hide them from me still, and let me die in peace." "Alas!" rejoined the forlorn one, "wilt thou not look upon me once again?

So come, cease this folly, if you wish to negotiate with the Athenians in a moderate way, and not to be forced into conceding points against your will.
