So he did . That was in the time of the bloom of my beauty . ' She chuckled like a contented parrot above the sugar lump . ` Now tell me of thy goings and comings -- as much as may be without shame . How many maids , and whose wives , hang upon thine eyelashes ? Ye hail from Benares ? I would have gone there again this year , but my daughter -- we have only two sons . Phaii ! Such is the effect of these low plains . Now in Kulu men are elephants . But I would ask thy Holy One -- stand aside , rogue -- a charm against most lamentable windy colics that in mango-time overtake my daughter 's eldest . Two years back he gave me a powerful spell . ' ` Oh , Holy One ! ' said Kim , bubbling with mirth at the lama 's rueful face . ` It is true . I gave her one against wind . ' ` Teeth -- teeth -- teeth , ' snapped the old woman . '' ` Cure them if they are sick , '' ' Kim quoted relishingly , '' ` but by no means work charms . Remember what befell the Mahratta . '' ' ` That was two Rains ago ; she wearied me with her continual importunity . '
The XXXXX groaned as the Unjust Judge had groaned before him .
