` It is too easy to deal in that market , Friend of all the World . Tell me for love . Our lives lie in each other 's hand . ' ` Very good . I saw the Jang-i-Lat Sahib -LSB- the Commander-in-Chief -RSB- come to a big dinner . I saw him in Creighton Sahib 's office . I saw the two read the white stallion 's pedigree . I heard the very orders given for the opening of a great war . ' ` Hah ! ' Mahbub nodded with deepest eyes afire . ` The game is well played . That war is done now , and the evil , we hope , nipped before the flower -- thanks to me -- and thee . What didst thou later ? ' ' I made the news as it were a hook to catch me victual and honour among the villagers in a village whose priest drugged my lama . But I bore away the old man 's purse , and the Brahmin found nothing . So next morning he was angry . Ho ! Ho ! And I also used the news when I fell into the hands of that white Regiment with their Bull ! ' ` That was foolishness . '
XXXXX scowled .
