As the occupants of the carriage changed, he varied this tale, or adorned it with all the shoots of a budding fancy, the more rampant for being held off native speech so long. In all India that night was no human being so joyful as Kim. At Umballa he got out and headed eastward, plashing over the sodden fields to the village where the old soldier lived.
They came out upon grassy shoulders still snow-speckled, and through forest, to grass anew. For all their marchings, Kedarnath and Badrinath were not impressed; and it was only after days of travel that Kim, uplifted upon some insignificant ten-thousand-foot hummock, could see that a shoulder-knot or horn of the two great lords had ever so slightly changed outline.
At Bandakui, where lives one of Us, I thought to slip the scent by changing my face, and so made me a Mahratta. Then I came to Agra, and would have turned back to Chitor to recover the letter. So sure I was I had slipped them. I wished the credit of it all. Kim nodded. He understood that feeling well.
The Minister urged on the King the helpless condition of China, and the futility of expecting assistance from her, and begged the King to take up a bold position, announce Korea's independence and dare China's wrath. The King listened, but made no pledges. Kim and the Japanese Secretary called in their allies, to discuss how to strike.
He himself had been taught by the Sahibs, who do not consider expense, in the lordly halls of Calcutta; but, as he was ever first to acknowledge, there lay a wisdom behind earthly wisdom the high and lonely lore of meditation. Kim looked on with envy. The Hurree Babu of his knowledge oily, effusive, and nervous was gone; gone, too, was the brazen drug-vendor of overnight.
'It was a bull a Red Bull that shall come and help thee and carry thee whither? I have forgotten. A Red Bull on a green field, was it not? 'Nay, it will carry me nowhere, said Kim. 'It is but a tale I told thee. 'What is this? The cultivator's wife leaned forward, her bracelets clinking on her arm. 'Do ye both dream dreams?
'And some day, she said, confusedly remembering O'Hara's prophecies, 'there will come for you a great Red Bull on a green field, and the Colonel riding on his tall horse, yes, and' dropping into English 'nine hundred devils. 'Ah, said Kim, 'I shall remember. A Red Bull and a Colonel on a horse will come, but first, my father said, will come the two men making ready the ground for these matters.
And Morianton did live to an exceedingly great age, and then he begat Kim; and Kim did reign in the stead of his father; and he did reign eight years, and his father died. And it came to pass that Kim did not reign in righteousness, wherefore he was not favored of the Lord.
The coconut palm rises into the air, ripens its fruit, and departs. But always are there more coconut palms. This is not all my own smart talk. Much of it my father told me. Proceed, honourable Mrs. Tai Fu, and beat your son who is my Third Husband To Be. But I shall laugh. I warn you I shall laugh." Ah Kim dropped down on his knees so as to give his mother every advantage.
I think it is verree good. My word, Mister O'Hara, they know about you and the lama for fifty miles the common people. So I come. Do you mind? 'Babuji, said Kim, looking up at the broad, grinning face, 'I am a Sahib. 'My dear Mister O'Hara 'And I hope to play the Great Game. 'You are subordinate to me departmentally at present. 'Then why talk like an ape in a tree?
