` She asked me many questions and propounded many problems -- the most of which were idle tales which she had heard from devil-serving priests who pretend to follow the Way . Some I answered , and some I said were foolish . Many wear the Robe , but few keep the Way . ' ` True . That is true . ' Kim used the thoughtful , conciliatory tone of those who wish to draw confidences . ` But by her lights she is most right-minded . She desires greatly that we should go with her to Buddh Gaya ; her road being ours , as I understand , for many days ' journey to the southward . ' ` And ? ' ` Patience a little . To this I said that my Search came before all things . She had heard many foolish legends , but this great truth of my River she had never heard . Such are the priests of the lower hills ! She knew the Abbot of Lung-Cho , but she did not know of my River -- nor the tale of the Arrow . ' ` And ? ' ' I spoke therefore of the Search , and of the Way , and of matters that were profitable ; she desiring only that I should accompany her and make prayer for a second son . ' ` Aha ! `` We women '' do not think of anything save children , ' said Kim sleepily . ` Now , since our roads run together for a while , I do not see that we in any way depart from our Search if so be we accompany her -- at least as far as -- I have forgotten the name of the city . ' ` Ohe ! '
said XXXXX , turning and speaking in a sharp whisper to one of the Ooryas a few yards away .
