` Such a Sahib as was he who kept the images in the Wonder House . ' The lama 's experience of white men was limited . He seemed to be repeating a lesson . ` So then it is not seemly that he should do other than as the Sahibs do . He must go back to his own people . ' ` For a day and a night and a day , ' Kim pleaded . ` No , ye do n't ! ' Father Victor saw Kim edging towards the door , and interposed a strong leg . ' I do not understand the customs of white men . The Priest of the Images in the Wonder House in Lahore was more courteous than the thin one here . This boy will be taken from me . They will make a Sahib of my disciple ? Woe to me ! How shall I find my River ? Have they no disciples ? Ask . ' ` He says he is very sorree that he can not find the River now any more . He says , Why have you no disciples , and stop bothering him ? He wants to be washed of his sins . ' Neither Bennett nor Father Victor found any answer ready .
Said Kim in English , distressed for the XXXXX 's agony : ' I think if you will let me go now we will walk away quietly and not steal .
