Shall I take it away ? ' ` Friend of the Stars , thou hast done well in all things . Let it be at thy pleasure . Is it another healing ? ' ` Quick ! Be quick ! ' gasped the Mahratta . ` The train may stop . ' ' A healing against the shadow of death , ' said Kim , mixing the Kamboh 's flour with the mingled charcoal and tobacco ash in the red-earth bowl of the pipe . E , without a word , slipped off his turban and shook down his long black hair . ` That is my food -- priest , ' the jat growled . ' A buffalo in the temple ! Hast thou dared to look even thus far ? ' said Kim . ' I must do mysteries before fools ; but have a care for thine eyes . Is there a film before them already ? I save the babe , and for return thou -- oh , shameless ! '
The man flinched at the direct gaze , for XXXXX was wholly in earnest .
