You might have killed him

Rudyard Kipling

But why?

Peachy

I caught him stealing your watch

Rudyard Kipling

My watch...I say it is my watch! Well! Im much obliged to you Mr..?

Peachy Carnehan

Where are you heading for?

Rudyard Kipling

Jodhpur.

Peachy Carnehan

Will you return on this line?

Rudyard Kipling

In 10 days.

Peachy Carnehan

Can you make it eight? I have a message for a man......travelling through Marwar Junction on the 24th. He expects to meet but I have urgent business.

Peachy

...Suppose I was to ask you, as a stranger going to the West, to seek for that which was lost - what would you say then?

Kipling

...I should answer, where do you come from?

Peachy

From the East, and I am hoping that you will give my message on the square for the sake of the widow’s son.

Kipling

...Which lodge do you hail from?

Peachy

Traveling Lodge 3276, Fore and Fit. The Queen’s Own Royal Loyal Light Infantry. Regimental District 329A.

Kipling

(satisfied)

To whom is the message?

Peachy

Daniel Dravot.

Kipling

Dravot.

Peachy

A big man with long gray sideboards. A great swell. You'll find him in a first-class compartment.Don't be afraid. Slip the window down and say, "Peachy's gone south for the week."

Kipling

"Peachy's gone south for the week."

Peachy

- Yes, and he'll tumble. Well, I'll be getting off now before we reach the station.

Kipling

By the way, Brother Carnehan..I missed my watch in the station at Lahore...before boarding the train.

Peachy

How was I to know you were a Mason?
