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 Babu is getting too old for the Road . He likes better to collect manners and customs information . Yes , he wants to be an FRS . ` Hurree thinks well of the boy , does n't he ? ' ` Oh , very indeed -- we have had some pleasant evenings at my little place -- but I think it would be waste to throw him away with Hurree on the Ethnological side . ' ` Not for a first experience . How does that strike you , Mahbub ? Let the boy run with the lama for six months . After that we can see . He will get experience . ' ` He has it already , Sahib -- as a fish controls the water he swims in . But for every reason it will be well to loose him from the school . ' ` Very good , then , ' said Creighton , half to himself . ` He can go with the lama , and if Hurree Babu cares to keep an eye on them so much the better . He wo n't lead the boy into any danger as Mahbub would . Curious -- his wish to be an F R S. Very human , too .
He is best on the XXXXX side -- Hurree . '
