In two hours several telegrams had reached the angry minister of a southern State reporting that all trace of a somewhat bruised Mahratta had been lost; and by the time the leisurely train halted at Saharunpore the last ripple of the stone Kim had helped to heave was lapping against the steps of a mosque in far-away Roum where it disturbed a pious man at prayers.
So, when with scufflings and scrapings and a hot air of importance, paddled up nothing less than the Sahiba's pet palanquin sent twenty miles, with that same grizzled old Oorya servant in charge, and when they reached the disorderly order of the long white rambling house behind Saharunpore, the lama took his own measures.

I abode there in meditation in a room against the dovecot except when she talked eternally. 'Oho! the woman from Kulu. That is by Saharunpore. Kim laughed. 'How does the spirit move thy master?
As a town-mouse well acquainted with the latest songs by the most fashionable composers they are women for the most part Kim had a distinct advantage over men from a little fruit-village behind Saharunpore, but he let that advantage be inferred.

He named the village.
Then I will slip away and follow down the road to Saharunpore. Therefore, Holy One, keep with that Kulu woman on no account stray far from her cart till I come again.

I come to tell you so. 'Umm! The frogs were busy in the ditches, and the moon slid to her setting. Some happy servant had gone out to commune with the night and to beat upon a drum. Kim's next sentence was in the vernacular. 'How didst thou follow us? 'Oah. Thatt was nothing. I know from our mutual friend you go to Saharunpore. So I come on. Red Lamas are not inconspicuous persons.
This servant of your Honour has presently no place to lay crown of his head, but going to Benares by train on account of persecution of old woman talking so much and unanxious residing Saharunpore in any domestic capacity."
