` Then what is the plan ? ' ' O fool , have I not told it a hundred times ? Wait till he comes to lie down , and then one sure shot . The trucks are between us and pursuit . We have but to run back over the lines and go our way . They will not see whence the shot came . Wait here at least till the dawn . What manner of fakir art thou , to shiver at a little watching ? ' ` Oho ! ' thought Kim , behind close-shut eyes . ` Once again it is Mahbub . Indeed a white stallion 's pedigree is not a good thing to peddle to Sahibs ! Or maybe Mahbub has been selling other news . Now what is to do , Kim ? I know not where Mahbub houses , and if he comes here before the dawn they will shoot him . That would be no profit for thee , Kim . And this is not a matter for the police . That would be no profit for Mahbub ; and ' -- he giggled almost aloud -- ' I do not remember any lesson at Nucklao which will help me . Allah ! Here is Kim and yonder are they .
First , then , XXXXX must wake and go away , so that they shall not suspect .
Kim Mahbub Nucklao Oho Sahibs art dawn lesson matter shot
