 But it was a horses leg that tripped me,and I fell
on the horses stone-dead body.
We stood them both in front of us and sat down with
our backsagainst the loads.
Say, if anything ud make a man believe in hell,
that chanting would! We asked him his name, and he said it was
Mordecai.
One way and another my senses were all nervously
alert.
Herefused to have anything to do with you or me
unless I gave himthe wallet as security. You may remain here and freeze,same as me
Tsang-Mondrong promptly denied ever having seen the
wallet.
Presently a bell rings, and theres
silence.
They were discussing whether or not to betray us to
the authoritiesat Leh.
But it was doubtless he who tried to poison
thechiling.
Theres old books in thatplace that ud fetch a
fortune in New York. Presently a bell rings, and theres silence. But we liketo
pretend we are rational, since self-conceit is half the art ofbeing
happy.
He is a black-souleddevils offspring and a liar,
whose oath is no good. You cant tell which is which; theres blacks andwhites all in
one monastery. No need, therefore, to goto him; you have come to him,
Why, then, did he send you in pursuit of us! Hell
die anyhow if you dont do something.
The others fell asleep at once, but I was
restless.
You, too, are looking for that chiling, andmen say
you always succeed in everything you attempt. Once or twice I tried shouting again,
and stopped to listen, butthere was no answer. Tsang-Mondrong said the chiling Rait
made two or three attemptsto poison him.
The chiling had vanished as if the earth
hadswallowed him! Why, then, did he send you in pursuit of us!
And besides, there was the psychology of delay to
reckon with.
So I was not quite green at the business.
