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 lama 's agony : ' I think if you will let me go now we will walk away quietly and not steal . We will look for that River like before I was caught . I wish I did not come here to find the Red Bull and all that sort of thing . I do not want it . ' ` It 's the very best day 's work you ever did for yourself , young man , ' said Bennett .
` Good heavens , I do n't know how to console him , ' XXXXX Father Victor , watching the lama intently .
