` Tck ! Tck ! ' said Father Victor sympathetically . ` I 'd give a good deal to be able to talk the vernacular . A river that washes away sin ! And how long have you two been looking for it ? ' ` Oh , many days . Now we wish to go away and look for it again . It is not here , you see . ' ' I see , ' said Father Victor gravely . ` But he ca n't go on in that old man 's company . It would be different , Kim , if you were not a soldier 's son . Tell him that the Regiment will take care of you and make you as good a man as your -- as good a man as can be . Tell him that if he believes in miracles he must believe that -- ' ` There is no need to play on his credulity , ' Bennett interrupted . ` I 'm doing no such thing . He must believe that the boy 's coming here -- to his own Regiment -- in search of his Red Bull is in the nature of a miracle . Consider the chances against it , Bennett . This one boy in all India , and our Regiment of all others on the line o ' march for him to meet with ! It 's predestined on the face of it . Yes , tell him it 's Kismet .
