` Upon a day , ' said Kim , delighted at the sensation he was creating , ' I shall be made great by means of a Red Bull on a green field , but first there will enter two men making all things ready . ' ` Yes : thus ever at the opening of a vision . A thick darkness that clears slowly ; anon one enters with a broom making ready the place . Then begins the Sight . Two men -- thou sayest ? Ay , ay . The Sun , leaving the House of the Bull , enters that of the Twins . Hence the two men of the prophecy . Let us now consider . Fetch me a twig , little one . ' He knitted his brows , scratched , smoothed out , and scratched again in the dust mysterious signs -- to the wonder of all save the lama , who , with fine instinct , forbore to interfere . At the end of half an hour , he tossed the twig from him with a grunt . ` Hm ! Thus say the stars . Within three days come the two men to make all things ready . After them follows the Bull ; but the sign over against him is the sign of War and armed men . ' ` There was indeed a man of the Ludhiana Sikhs in the carriage from Lahore , ' said the cultivator 's wife hopefully . ` Tck ! Armed men -- many hundreds . What concern hast thou with war ? '
said the priest to XXXXX .
