I tell thee he does not know how to lie -- as we two know . ' ` And if thou wilt carry a message for me as far as Umballa , I will give thee money . It concerns a horse -- a white stallion which I have sold to an officer upon the last time I returned from the Passes . But then -- stand nearer and hold up hands as begging -- the pedigree of the white stallion was not fully established , and that officer , who is now at Umballa , bade me make it clear . ' -LRB- Mahbub here described the horse and the appearance of the officer . -RRB- ` So the message to that officer will be : `` The pedigree of the white stallion is fully established . '' By this will he know that thou comest from me . He will then say `` What proof hast thou ? '' and thou wilt answer : `` Mahbub Ali has given me the proof . '' ' ` And all for the sake of a white stallion , ' said Kim , with a giggle , his eyes aflame . ` That pedigree I will give thee now -- in my own fashion and some hard words as well . ' A shadow passed behind Kim , and a feeding camel . Mahbub Ali raised his voice . ` Allah ! Art thou the only beggar in the city ? Thy mother is dead . Thy father is dead . So is it with all of them . Well , well -- ' He turned as feeling on the floor beside him and tossed a flap of soft , greasy Mussalman bread to the boy . ` Go and lie down among my horseboys for tonight -- thou and the lama .
Tomorrow I may XXXXX thee service . '
