They found the lama where he had dropped . ` The Search is at an end for me , ' shouted Kim in the vernacular . ' I have found the Bull , but God knows what comes next . They will not hurt you . Come to the fat priest 's tent with this thin man and see the end . It is all new , and they can not talk Hindi . They are only uncurried donkeys . ' ` Then it is not well to make a jest of their ignorance , ' the lama returned . ' I am glad if thou art rejoiced , chela . ' Dignified and unsuspicious , he strode into the little tent , saluted the Churches as a Churchman , and sat down by the open charcoal brazier . The yellow lining of the tent reflected in the lamplight made his face red-gold . Bennett looked at him with the triple-ringed uninterest of the creed that lumps nine-tenths of the world under the title of ` heathen ' . ` And what was the end of the Search ? What gift has the Red Bull brought ? ' The lama addressed himself to Kim . ` He says , `` What are you going to do ? '' ' Bennett was staring uneasily at Father Victor , and Kim , for his own ends , took upon himself the office of interpreter . ' I do not see what concern this fakir has with the boy , who is probably his dupe or his confederate , ' Bennett began . ` We can not allow an English boy -- Assuming that he is the son of a Mason , the sooner he goes to the Masonic Orphanage the better . ' ` Ah !
That 's your opinion as Secretary to the Regimental Lodge , ' said Father XXXXX ; ` but we might as well tell the old man what we are going to do .
