You see , it is all my invention . Verree good . Sat Bhai has many members , and perhaps before they jolly-well-cut-your-throat they may give you just a chance of life . That is useful , anyhow . And moreover , these foolish natives -- if they are not too excited -- they always stop to think before they kill a man who says he belongs to any speecific organization . You see ? You say then when you are in tight place , `` I am Son of the Charm '' , and you get -- perhaps -- ah -- your second wind . That is only in extreme instances , or to open negotiations with a stranger . Can you quite see ? Verree good . But suppose now , I , or any one of the Department , come to you dressed quite different . You would not know me at all unless I choose , I bet you . Some day I will prove it . I come as Ladakhi trader -- oh , anything -- and I say to you : `` You want to buy precious stones ? '' You say : `` Do I look like a man who buys precious stones ? '' Then I say : `` Even verree poor man can buy a turquoise or tarkeean . '' ' ` That is kichree -- vegetable curry , ' said Kim . ` Of course it is . You say : `` Let me see the tarkeean . '' Then I say : `` It was cooked by a woman , and perhaps it is bad for your caste . ''
Then you say : `` There is no caste when men go to -- look for XXXXX . ''
