` Well , ' -- Hurree shrugged his shoulders -- ` there is no accounting for thee taste . Mahbub was angry too . He has sold horses all about here , and he says old lady is pukka -LSB- thorough -RSB- old lady and would not condescend to such ungentlemanly things . I do not care . I have got the papers , and I was very glad of moral support from Mahbub . I tell you , I am fearful man , but , somehow or other , the more fearful I am the more dam ' - tight places I get into . So I was glad you came with me to Chini , and I am glad Mahbub was close by . The old lady she is sometimes very rude to me and my beautiful pills . ' ` Allah be merciful ! ' said Kim on his elbow , rejoicing . ` What a beast of wonder is a Babu ! And that man walked alone -- if he did walk -- with robbed and angry foreigners ! ' ` Oah , thatt was nothing , after they had done beating me ; but if I lost the papers it was pretty-jolly serious . Mahbub he nearly beat me too , and he went and consorted with the lama no end . I shall stick to ethnological investigations henceforwards . Now good-bye , Mister O'Hara . I can catch 4.25 p.m. to Umballa if I am quick . It will be good times when we all tell thee tale up at Mr Lurgan 's . I shall report you offeecially better . Good-bye , my dear fallow , and when next you are under thee emotions please do not use the Mohammedan terms with the Tibetan dress . '
He shook hands twice -- a XXXXX to his boot-heels -- and opened the door .
