Kim is given a role in the Great Game by the British government, but before his job begins, he takes a sabbatical. Part of his training is to memorize trays of objects, then to notice when one is taken away or added. They keep in touch during Kim's education, and Kim also keeps in touch with the spies, doing little jobs occasionally. The monk urges the boy to obey the winds of fate, and the boy is taken back to town, to a British boarding school in Lucknow. Then, a friend of Kim's father identifies him and separates him from the monk. On the journey, Ali charges him with a mission, to deliver intelligence to the British in Umballa. He believes if he can find the "River of the Arrow" that he will be enlightened. Kim meets a Tibetan Lama, a monk who is on a sacred quest to transcend the wheel of human fortune and fate. As an boy raised in India, he is culturally very Indian, so he lives in community with the local people and the British alike. He takes odd jobs for Mahbub Ali, a horse trader, a local spy for the British. Kim's family lives in India, so when he is orphaned, he becomes a beggar in Lahore. Kimbrall O'Hara is a recent orphan, following the deaths of his father, an Irish soldier, and his Irish mother, who died as a result of their desperate poverty.
