` Up and down the land , as he has these three years . He seeks a River of Healing . God 's curse upon all -- ' Mahbub checked himself . ` He beds down at the Temple of the Tirthankars or at Buddh Gaya when he is in from the Road . Then he goes to see the boy at the madrissah , as we know for the boy was punished for it twice or thrice . He is quite mad , but a peaceful man . I have met him . The Babu also has had dealings with him . We have watched him for three years . Red Lamas are not so common in Hind that one loses track . ' ` Babus are very curious , ' said Lurgan meditatively . ` Do you know what Hurree Babu really wants ? He wants to be made a member of the Royal Society by taking ethnological notes . I tell you , I tell him about the lama everything which Mahbub and the boy have told me . Hurree Babu goes down to Benares -- at his own expense , I think . ' ' I do n't , ' said Creighton briefly . He had paid Hurree 's travelling expenses , out of a most lively curiosity to learn what the lama might be . ` And he applies to the lama for information on lamaism , and devil-dances , and spells and charms , several times in these few years . Holy Virgin ! I could have told him all that yeears ago .
I think Hurree XXXXX is getting too old for the Road .
