Now manifestly a Kathiawar mare taken from the sands of her birthplace and removed to the west of Bengal founders -- nor is even a Balkh stallion -LRB- and there are no better horses than those of Balkh , were they not so heavy in the shoulder -RRB- of any account in the great Northern deserts beside the snow-camels I have seen . Therefore I say in my heart the Faiths are like the horses . Each has merit in its own country . ' ` But my lama said altogether a different thing . ' ` Oh , he is an old dreamer of dreams from Bhotiyal . My heart is a little angry , Friend of all the World , that thou shouldst see such worth in a man so little known . ' ` It is true , Hajji ; but that worth do I see , and to him my heart is drawn . ' ` And his to thine , I hear . Hearts are like horses . They come and they go against bit or spur . Shout Gul Sher Khan yonder to drive in that bay stallion 's pickets more firmly . We do not want a horse-fight at every resting-stage , and the dun and the black will be locked in a little ... Now hear me . Is it necessary to the comfort of thy heart to see that lama ? ' ` It is one part of my bond , ' said Kim . ` If I do not see him , and if he is taken from me , I will go out of that madrissah in Nucklao and , and -- once gone , who is to find me again ? ' ` It is true . Never was colt held on a lighter heel-rope than thou . ' Mahbub nodded his head . ` Do not be afraid . ' Kim spoke as though he could have vanished on the moment .
` My XXXXX has said that he will come to see me at the madrissah -- ' ' A beggar and his bowl in the presence of those young Sa -- ' ` Not all ! '
