He thinks everyone must be fond of me . ' ` Then I think he is a fool . ' ` Hearest thou ? ' said Lurgan Sahib to the shaking shoulders . ` The Sahib 's son thinks thou art a little fool . Come out , and next time thy heart is troubled , do not try white arsenic quite so openly . Surely the Devil Dasim was lord of our table-cloth that day ! It might have made me ill , child , and then a stranger would have guarded the jewels . Come ! ' The child , heavy-eyed with much weeping , crept out from behind the bale and flung himself passionately at Lurgan Sahib 's feet , with an extravagance of remorse that impressed even Kim . ' I will look into the ink-pools -- I will faithfully guard the jewels ! Oh , my Father and my Mother , send him away ! ' He indicated Kim with a backward jerk of his bare heel . ` Not yet -- not yet . In a little while he will go away again . But now he is at school -- at a new madrissah -- and thou shalt be his teacher . Play the Play of the Jewels against him . I will keep tally . ' The child dried his tears at once , and dashed to the back of the shop , whence he returned with a copper tray . ` Give me ! '
he said to Lurgan XXXXX .
