Can you quite see ? Verree good . But suppose now , I , or any one of the Department , come to you dressed quite different . You would not know me at all unless I choose , I bet you . Some day I will prove it . I come as Ladakhi trader -- oh , anything -- and I say to you : `` You want to buy precious stones ? '' You say : `` Do I look like a man who buys precious stones ? '' Then I say : `` Even verree poor man can buy a turquoise or tarkeean . '' ' ` That is kichree -- vegetable curry , ' said Kim . ` Of course it is . You say : `` Let me see the tarkeean . '' Then I say : `` It was cooked by a woman , and perhaps it is bad for your caste . '' Then you say : `` There is no caste when men go to -- look for tarkeean . '' You stop a little between those words , `` to -- look '' . That is thee whole secret . The little stop before the words . ' Kim repeated the test-sentence . ` That is all right . Then I will show you my turquoise if there is time , and then you know who I am , and then we exchange views and documents and those-all things . And so it is with any other man of us .
We talk sometimes about turquoises and sometimes about XXXXX , but always with that little stop in the words .
