Where the hard worked soil…

Track length6:20
$1.00
$1.30

It was an old, withered man…

Track length7:23
$2.00
$2.60

Here the old soldier hobbled up…

Track length7:41
$2.00
$2.60

'What manner of life hast thou led…'

Track length6:17
$1.00
$1.30

'Sahibs praying to a bull!'

Track length6:14
$1.00

It was the drummer boy…

Track length8:18

Though he would not say so…

Track length7:33
$2.00

The day dragged to its weary end.

Track length6:23
$1.00
$1.30

When they came to the crowded Lucknow station…

Track length7:49
$2.00
$2.60

'Go to Jehannum and abide there…'

Track length8:27
$2.00
$2.60

None the less he remembered…

Track length8:21
$2.00
$2.60

Next morning, on the same course…

Track length6:45
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 8

Track length6:15
$1.00
$1.30

Up went a gout of heavy smoke.

Track length7:53
$2.00
$2.60

'Have I been such a hindrance till now?'

Track length7:25
$2.00
$2.60

He paddled along swiftly…

Track length7:58
$2.00
$2.60

Mahbub smiled with heavenly resignation.

Track length7:59
$2.00
$2.60

There was that in the tone…

Track length7:56
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 9

Track length8:24
$2.00
$2.60

The trumpet-box was pouring out…

Track length8:05
$2.00
$2.60

To save his life…

Track length7:24
$2.00
$2.60

The child dried his tears at once…

Track length7:54
$2.00
$2.60

Carried away by enthusiasm…

Track length6:31
$1.00
$1.30

Four days later a seat was booked…

Track length6:04
$1.00
$1.30

'That is reward of merit…'

Chapter 10

Track length7:34
$2.00
$2.60

The report in its unmistakable…

Track length4:49
$1.00
$1.30

They marched…

Track length7:33
$2.00
$2.60

No money and no preferment…

Track length8:22
$2.00
$2.60

The room, with its dirty cushions…

Track length7:50
$2.00
$2.60

Huneefa's crisis passed…

Track length5:35
$1.00
$1.30

Kim snapped his fingers mechanically…

Track length7:23
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 11

Track length8:02
$2.00
$2.60

Kim halted at the carved outer door…

Track length7:39
$2.00
$2.60

The lama smiled.

Track length5:50
$1.00
$1.30

He drew from under the table…

Track length4:52
$1.00
$1.30

Kim watched the last dusty sunshine fade…

Track length6:37
$1.00
$1.30

The pallor of hunger suited Kim…

Track length6:53
$1.00
$1.30

They all piled into it…

Track length5:52
$1.00
$1.30

'I came from the South…'

Track length7:57
$2.00
$2.60

'This comes next,' said Kim…

Track length7:04
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 12

Track length6:26
$1.00
$1.30

Kim hurried to his carriage…

Track length7:37
$2.00
$2.60

When the shadows shortened…

Track length7:39
$2.00
$2.60

But news travels fast in India…

Track length7:21
$2.00
$2.60

Kim bristled like an expectant terrier.

Track length7:56
$2.00
$2.60

For the first time in his life…

Track length7:27
$2.00
$2.60

They are well received by Hilas and Bunar.

Track length6:27
$1.00
$1.30

'Well is the Game called great!'

Track length7:46
$2.00
$2.60

There were cakes, there were sweetmeats…

Track length5:37
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 13

Track length7:13
$2.00
$2.60

'We saw thee come over the black Breasts of Eua'

Track length6:53
$1.00
$1.30

At last they entered a world within a world…

Track length7:46
$2.00
$2.60

He skipped nimbly…

Track length7:35
$2.00
$2.60

The two men stood bareheaded…

Track length6:54
$1.00
$1.30

It was too late.

Track length7:31
$2.00
$2.60

He drew from his breast a bottle…

Track length7:46
$2.00
$2.60

'The old man still sleeps…'

Track length7:04
$2.00
$2.60

Chapter 14

Track length8:08
$2.00
$2.60

'The others have gone…'

Track length7:44
$2.00
$2.60

Kim looked his astonishment…

Track length6:11
$1.00
$1.30

From time to time…

Track length8:07
$2.00
$2.60

Kim was genuinely distressed…

Track length7:33
$2.00
$2.60

Kim turned to the woman…

Track length7:14
$2.00
$2.60

The lama had squatted limply…

Track length6:06
$1.00
$1.30

Chapter 15

Track length5:45
$1.00
$1.30

On the edge of the Doon…

Track length7:53
$2.00
$2.60

Kim thought of the oilskin packet…

Track length6:21
$1.00
$1.30

So, when with scufflings and scrapings…

Track length6:56
$1.00
$1.30

She brewed drinks…

Track length8:08
$2.00
$2.60

'Send him here, mother…'

Track length8:06
$2.00
$2.60

A native proverb - unquotable - showed…

Track length6:08
$1.00
$1.30

There stood an empty bullock-cart…

Track length8:12
$2.00
$2.60

'What matter? When I must have him…'

Track length6:52
$1.00
$1.30

He peered at the cross-legged figure…

Track length4:36
$1.00
$1.30

By this I knew that I was free.
