` There are four green stones , and one with a hole in it ; there is one yellow stone that I can see through , and one like a pipe-stem . There are two red stones , and -- and -- I made the count fifteen , but two I have forgotten . No ! Give me time . One was of ivory , little and brownish ; and -- and -- give me time ... ' ` One -- two ' -- Lurgan Sahib counted him out up to ten . Kim shook his head . ` Hear my count ! ' the child burst in , trilling with laughter . ` First , are two flawed sapphires -- one of two ruttees and one of four as I should judge . The four-ruttee sapphire is chipped at the edge . There is one Turkestan turquoise , plain with black veins , and there are two inscribed -- one with a Name of God in gilt , and the other being cracked across , for it came out of an old ring , I can not read . We have now all five blue stones . Four flawed emeralds there are , but one is drilled in two places , and one is a little carven - ' ` Their weights ? ' said Lurgan Sahib impassively . ` Three -- five -- five -- and four ruttees as I judge it . There is one piece of old greenish pipe amber , and a cut topaz from Europe . There is one ruby of Burma , of two ruttees , without a flaw , and there is a balas-ruby , flawed , of two ruttees . There is a carved ivory from China representing a rat sucking an egg ; and there is last -- ah ha ! -- a ball of crystal as big as a bean set on a gold leaf . ' He clapped his hands at the close .
` He is thy master , ' said Lurgan XXXXX , smiling .
