Then someone beat him on the back , crying : ` Tell us how ye knew , ye little limb of Satan ? Father dear , see if ye can make him tell . ' A pony ranged alongside , and he was hauled on to the priest 's saddlebow . ` Now , my son , your prophecy of last night has come true . Our orders are to entrain at Umballa for the Front tomorrow . ' ` What is thatt ? ' said Kim , for ` front ' and ` entrain ' were newish words to him . ` We are going to `` thee War , '' as you called it . ' ` Of course you are going to thee War . I said last night . ' ` Ye did ; but , Powers o ' Darkness , how did ye know ? ' Kim 's eyes sparkled . He shut his lips , nodded his head , and looked unspeakable things . The Chaplain moved on through the dust , and privates , sergeants , and subalterns called one another 's attention to the boy . The Colonel , at the head of the column , stared at him curiously . ` It was probably some bazar rumour . ' he said ; ` but even then -- ' He referred to the paper in his hand . ` Hang it all , the thing was only decided within the last forty-eight hours . ' ` Are there many more like you in India ? ' said Father Victor , ` or are you by way o ' being a lusus naturae ? '
` Now I have told you , ' XXXXX the boy , ` will you let me go back to my old man ?
