shop in Simla. As part of his training, Kim looks at a tray full of mixed objects and notes which have been
added or taken away, a pastime still called Kim's Game, also called the Jewel Game.
After three years of schooling, Kim is given a government appointment so that he can begin his
role in the Great Game. Before this appointment begins however, he is granted time to take a much-
deserved break. Kim rejoins the Lama and at the behest of Kim's superior, Hurree Chunder Mookherjee,
they make a trip to the Himalayas. Here the espionage and spiritual threads of the story collide, with the
Lama unwittingly falling into conflict with Russian intelligence agents. Kim obtains maps, papers, and
other important items from the Russians working to undermine British control of the region. Mookherjee
befriends the Russians under cover, acting as a guide and ensures that they do not recover the lost
items. Kim, aided by some porters and villagers, helps to rescue the Lama.
