| 14900 | Is there any difference of kind or degree in the moral sense of the two races? |
| 14900 | Is there such a thing as pure intellect or pure rationality? |
| 14900 | Is this aversion a matter of absolute instinct or is it an acquired social characteristic and as such liable to change? |
| 14900 | It is a heroic plan, and it will demand great sacrifice from both peoples, but who can doubt that the end will be worth the effort? |
| 14900 | Now it is easy to drive away old men and women, but who can drive away two pretty girls like these that have been made to speak against me to- day? |
| 14900 | Was it the dancing or the profuse sweating which I had noticed? |
| 14900 | Why should I not be merry while I may? |
| 14900 | Why should he have bothered about making fire where there was no need of artificial warmth or for the cooking of food? |
| 14900 | Why, we may well ask, should the primitive African have worried about cultivating the soil where edible roots and berries abounded? |
| 15520 | Lie down you---- fool,said the friend;"ca n''t you see you are drawing the fire?" |
| 15520 | Oh,said I,"there was n''t much of your poor friend left, I suppose?" |

| 15520 | Are the burghers who survive the struggle to be evicted from their farms and left with their wives and children to starvation? |

| 15520 | How were the Boers able to discern our approaching columns? |
| 15520 | Moreover, where is the land to come from for any considerable number of such settlers? |
| 15520 | One of the reservists asked me:"Do you think I shall lose my thigh? |
| 15520 | They frequently ask indignantly how it is that our guns have been outclassed by those of the Boers? |
| 15520 | We have, of course, had the case of the Gordons at Dargai-- who ever hears of any other regiment popularly mentioned in this connection? |
| 15520 | What are we fighting for, sir?" |

| 21391 | Poor Sekwebu looked at his friend, asking:"Is this the way you go?" |
| 21391 | Should they liberate the slaves? |
| 21391 | The bishop consulted Dr Livingstone as to whether, should the Manjangas ask his assistance against the Ajawa, it would be his duty to give it? |
| 21391 | The thought occurred to him, but what should his gun miss fire? |
| 21391 | The usual question was also put:"What are you come for?" |
| 21391 | Unable to deny that he had fired, he declared that in his dreams he had seen a thief pass his door; and then asked what was the matter? |
| 21391 | Upon this the chief who had most distinguished himself in this memorable battle, Bagah Furby, demanded:"Did he ever hear of me?" |
| 21391 | What do you do for servants?" |
| 21391 | What is the use of sitting so mute?" |

| 16466 | As I must wait here an hour,said he blandly,"wo n''t you dismount and take a seat beside me under the shade of the awning?" |

| 16466 | --Sir George White''s narrow escape-- A disastrous shot-- Fiftieth day of the siege-- Grave and gay--"What does England think of us?" |
| 16466 | At the same time a sergeant going off in another direction, and calling,"Second Rifle Brigade, are you there?" |
| 16466 | Do they regard us as heroes or damned fools for stopping here?" |
| 16466 | In a voice huskily vibrant, he challenged,"Wie kom dar?" |
| 16466 | Is it any wonder that they are the raggedest, most weather- stained, and most unkempt crowd who ever played the part of soldiers? |
| 16466 | On the same evening the Boers on Bulwaan signalled to the Gordons at Fly Kraal Post--"Where is Buller now? |
| 16466 | One man felt something brush against him, and said by way of precaution,"Third Rifle Brigade?" |
| 16466 | Suddenly a challenge"Wie kom dar?" |
| 16466 | To- day soldiers greeted each other with a cheery"''Ave you''eard the noos? |

| 21254 | Do you remember the time Root was in South America? |
| 21254 | Had I hit or missed? |
| 21254 | I shouted,"what''s the finish of that story?" |
| 21254 | I took the picture, and then the thought struck me,"Why not drive him into camp, where he could be secured by the one having a special license?" |
| 21254 | If any one had asked me,"Is it hot enough for you?" |
| 21254 | If he did, we could only bow our heads in grief and submission, for after all were not we only foster friends and not blood relations? |
| 21254 | If the colonel was out shooting"singing topis"or"singing sun hats,"why, then, should he not also shoot corn cobs or cob pipes? |
| 21254 | It does n''t sound like good hunting in such a district, does it? |
| 21254 | Kill him?" |
| 21254 | One then says,"Are you there?" |
| 21254 | Still, what can a shipowner expect who puts a nude bust of himself in his own ship? |
| 21254 | Then there were a number of the porters who were Mohammedans of a sort, but these were wo nt to say,"O, what is a creed among friends?" |
| 21254 | When speaking with English sportsmen in London my first question was,"Did you get any lions?" |
| 21254 | Who can imagine the feelings of the poor slave? |
| 21254 | Would Little Wanderobo Dog, reclaimed from the swamp, harken to the call of the blood and join the band of his own kind? |

| 11104 | And have they never any desire to travel, or to visit the Bazaars, as the Turkish ladies do? |
| 11104 | From what part of France did she come? |
| 11104 | So your mother is French,_ Mademoiselle_? |
| 11104 | The Aïssaouas? |
| 11104 | But how were we to get within sight of them? |
| 11104 | But what would even their beauty be without the leafy setting of the place? |
| 11104 | Do n''t they find them excessively ugly?" |
| 11104 | Had I any children? |
| 11104 | How associate anything so precise and Occidental as years or centuries with these visions of frail splendor seen through cypresses and roses? |
| 11104 | Knowing that European fashions are of absorbing interest to the harem I next enquired:"What do these ladies think of our stiff tailor- dresses? |
| 11104 | V ON THE ROOFS"Should you like to see the Chleuh boys dance?" |
| 11104 | Was ever shade so blue- black and delicious as that of the cork- tree near the spring where the donkey''s water- cans are being filled? |
| 11104 | Were these the vaulted granaries, or the subterranean reservoirs under the three miles of stabling which housed the twelve thousand horses? |
| 11104 | What, then, prevents the tourist from instantly taking ship at Bordeaux or Algeciras and letting loose his motor on this new world? |
| 11104 | Where have they come from, where are they going, all these slow wayfarers out of the unknown? |
| 11104 | Who can have conceived, in the heart of a savage Saharan camp, the serenity and balance of this hidden place? |
| 11104 | motor? |
| 26198 | Certainly, but when will bloodshed begin? |
| 26198 | I shook hands, and said,''Commandant who?'' 26198 I stood by, and said,''Are you Boers( farmers) like ourselves or vagabonds? |
| 26198 | Wie gaat daar? |
| 26198 | ''Who goes there?'' |
| 26198 | --"Who goes there?" |
| 26198 | But what would Britain do if her soldiers ran from the enemy? |
| 26198 | Had these guns been landed earlier, how much might have been saved? |
| 26198 | I went out, and was fiercely greeted with,''Where are the other two men? |
| 26198 | I wonder what the future has in store for us? |
| 26198 | Mrs. V. and myself made some buckets of coffee and let them have a pull at it; and were not they thankful for it? |
| 26198 | Then, with a sudden surprised"Who goes there?" |
| 26198 | They were then asked,"Where are you going?" |
| 26198 | What is the result, I wonder? |
| 26198 | When the heliographers questioned the enemy,"Are you Boers?" |
| 26198 | Where were the 366 splendid fellows of the Northumberland Regiment who had started out in rude health only the night before? |
| 26198 | Why was it left to fortunate accident to furnish the garrison at the very last moment with the means of defence? |
| 26198 | Why were such guns not provided? |
| 26198 | Wounded: Major F. A. Bracington(? |
| 12561 | And how shall I describe the emotions I felt as we approached the plains of Troy? |
| 12561 | And why should it be otherwise here? |
| 12561 | But to what purpose would the unnatural mixture have been? |
| 12561 | But who shall describe my feelings of joy when I discovered a European among the passengers? |
| 12561 | For instance, would not a plain piece of beef have been a greater luxury to us on our journey than the most costly delicacies at home? |
| 12561 | I started, and thought I must be mistaken, for whom in the world could I meet here who knew my Christian name? |
| 12561 | Is this happiness dearly purchased by the dangers, fatigues, and privations attendant upon it? |
| 12561 | It was at once concluded by all that this ship must be a pirate, else why did she alter her course and give chase to us? |
| 12561 | Shall I ever see it again? |
| 12561 | The parting was certainly most bitter, for the thought involuntarily obtruded itself,"Should we ever meet again in this world?" |
| 12561 | We did not ask each other, Are you from England, France, Italy; we inquired, Whither are you going? |
| 12561 | Were it not well if in this matter we abated something of our conventionality and ostentation? |
| 12561 | What was to be done? |
| 12561 | What, indeed, are the entertainments of a large town compared to the Delta of the Nile, and many similar scenes? |
| 12561 | When will this dishonourable bigotry cease? |
| 12561 | Where, indeed, could a butterfly or a bee find nourishment, while not a flower nor a blade of grass shoots up from the stony earth? |
| 12561 | Why could he not put an end to the poor camel''s pain by a blow with a knife? |
| 12561 | Why could not an officer be appointed for these days to take care of the poor travellers? |
| 12561 | Why should fifty persons suffer for the convenience of one, and be deprived of their liberty for an extra day? |
| 12561 | Why should the pomp and extravagance of man accompany him to his last resting- place? |
| 12561 | Ye wretched madmen, ye poor fellahs, are ye too ready to join in this praise? |
| 12561 | wilt thou see him again, or will the cold ground be a barrier between you till this life is past? |
| 14297 | Ay, man,gasped Burton, now quite purple,"did you think we were trying to amuse the dog?" |
| 14297 | But,I protested,"what''s sixpence to you? |
| 14297 | Why should you suppose,Mr. Daniel Guggenheim asked me,"that in the Congo we will treat the negroes harshly? |
| 14297 | You going far? |
| 14297 | You want him? 14297 ''Why do n''t you ship those logs with us?'' 14297 Are the Americans going to use slaves also, or do they intendon commercial lines"to pay those who work for them living wages? |
| 14297 | But how did the original eleven become experts? |
| 14297 | Did I know it? |
| 14297 | Do I seem to find fault with Banana out of all proportion to its importance? |
| 14297 | Do you know Fordham College?" |
| 14297 | Hey?" |
| 14297 | I suppose you''ve heard him play the banjo, have n''t you? |
| 14297 | If you pursue a pickpocket and recover your watch from him, are your motives in doing so open to suspicion? |
| 14297 | It is as though you asked:"What sort of a house is this one Jones has built?" |
| 14297 | No one can shirk his responsibility by sneering,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
| 14297 | Of the colonies of what other country can one say the same? |
| 14297 | Was it not intelligent of her?" |
| 14297 | What ulterior motives? |
| 14297 | What will be the outcome of the American advance into the Congo? |
| 14297 | When asked:"Under your concessions are you given similar powers over the native blacks as are enjoyed by other concessionaires?" |
| 14297 | Why should men as rich as these elect to go into partnership with one who sweats his dollars out of the naked black? |
| 14297 | Will it be, if that were possible, a greater evil? |
| 14297 | Will it prove the salvation of the Congo? |
| 16600 | Had you any reason to suppose that he considered him one? |
| 16600 | Surely you can do what you like? |
| 16600 | The second question--''Are our officials exerting themselves to make the Camps as little oppressive as possible?'' 16600 They? |
| 16600 | And when one of his guests tactlessly remarked,"But surely you need not have done so, Mr. Rhodes? |
| 16600 | And, after all, was this annexation of the dominions of poor Lobengula a conquest? |
| 16600 | Are our officials exerting themselves to make the conditions of the Camps as little oppressive as possible? |
| 16600 | But what was the real situation? |
| 16600 | Could a woman''s out- out size be procured? |
| 16600 | His reply was most characteristic:"What should I do with myself? |
| 16600 | Is it a matter of astonishment, therefore, that many people felt sore and bitter at all that they had undergone and were going through? |
| 16600 | Ought the public at home to supplement the efforts of the officials, and supply additional comforts and luxuries? |
| 16600 | Rhodes?" |
| 16600 | Was the creation of these Camps necessary from the military point of view? |
| 16600 | Who?" |
| 16600 | Why waste words over events which can not be helped, and about which there will always be two opinions? |
| 16600 | he retorted immediately,"And if I choose to allow the world to think that such was the case, what business is it of yours?" |
| 39042 | And have they never any desire to travel, or to visit the Bazaars, as the Turkish ladies do? |
| 39042 | So your mother is French,_ Mademoiselle_? |
| 39042 | The Aïssaouas? |
| 39042 | _ Oui, Madame._"From what part of France did she come? |
| 39042 | But how were we to get within sight of them? |

| 23638 | But, Cooper,I queried,"why do n''t they hang you?" |
| 23638 | How do you mean? |
| 23638 | Hullo? |
| 23638 | I''m damned if they''re not asking ten pounds apiece for claims,said he;"did you ever hear of anything so ridiculous?" |
| 23638 | Now, Scully,said the proud parent, pointing to his boy,"is n''t he a regular Cook?" |
| 23638 | Phwat d''ye want? |
| 23638 | Was it a white man or a black man that you shot? |
| 23638 | Well, Cooper,said I,"how are you getting on here?" |
| 23638 | Well, Scull, how are you today? |
| 23638 | Well, have you made our fortune? |
| 23638 | What are they? |
| 23638 | Where is it? |
| 23638 | Why, what is the matter? |
| 23638 | Could I drive four horses in a cart, he asked? |
| 23638 | I had faced lions on the Lebomba and crocodiles in the Komati; why should I quail before a mere magistrate? |
| 23638 | I wonder if it is still where we hid it? |
| 23638 | My cargo smelt to heaven but what of that? |
| 23638 | One man sang out to a friend across the street"Say, Jim, them looks like town- made legs and country made trousers, eh?" |
| 23638 | The latter had a special interest for us; we were now in the land of gold and who could tell where the clues of Fortune were not to be picked up? |
| 23638 | The port- office signals were against us, but what did we care? |
| 23638 | There was something in this idea, and if Sims and the old gentleman were prepared to take the risks, why should not I? |
| 23638 | What direction first to explore in? |
| 23638 | What was to be done? |
| 23638 | What''s his name?" |
| 23638 | Which was most likely to be the result, I would ask myself, assassination or suicide? |
| 14451 | Am I like one dog? |
| 14451 | Are those good tests for genuineness? |
| 14451 | Are you afraid of jackals, too? |
| 14451 | But why in blazes could n''t you have told us of that quietly and decently? 14451 How did we know that? |
| 14451 | How much you give? |
| 14451 | The inflammation of the sparkling plugs? |
| 14451 | They were far? |
| 14451 | Wataka neenee( what do you want)? |
| 14451 | What are they going to do with them? |
| 14451 | What does this mean? |
| 14451 | What is the use of this killing game? |
| 14451 | What,he demanded disgustedly,"what is the matter with the beggars?" |
| 14451 | What_ do_ they want? |
| 14451 | When,we inquired gently,"does the expedition start?" |
| 14451 | Why, what is it? |
| 14451 | Why,we inquired,"were not the Wanderobo sent at first, instead of yourselves?" |
| 14451 | And have given in exchange? |
| 14451 | Did the victims rise up in a body and capture that hose nozzle and turn the stream to sweep the decks? |
| 14451 | Did they at least know enough to scatter and run? |
| 14451 | Did they duck for shelter? |
| 14451 | How much?" |
| 14451 | Or that our masters are no gentlemen? |
| 14451 | Suppose I had not reported and should die to- day, and should go to heaven, and God should ask me,''Have you done your duty to- day?'' |
| 14451 | That our early training is all wrong? |
| 14451 | What is one to conclude? |
| 14451 | Why did n''t you tell us?" |
| 14451 | Why did n''t you warn us before reporting?" |
| 14451 | Why not let them take their own speed? |
| 14451 | Why? |
| 14451 | that we are at one experience to turn apostate to the settled and only correct order of things? |
| 14451 | what should I say to Him?" |
| 39348 | Are not you Dutchmen tired of the war? |
| 39348 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
| 39348 | Tell me, what was that firing last night? |
| 39348 | What, and hold my hands up at the same time? |
| 39348 | What, do n''t you know,said I,"what has occurred this morning?" |
| 39348 | What, then, am I to do with my men? |
| 39348 | Will you hand over that revolver? |
| 39348 | Will you hold your damned hands up? |
| 39348 | But then, after all, what is the destiny of the War Office unless to meddle and make muddle? |
| 39348 | But who can tell? |
| 39348 | Does this sentence contain the secret history of the failure of Commandant Eloff? |
| 39348 | How comes it that London should be in ignorance of our condition? |
| 39348 | How could we otherwise have pierced your lines?" |
| 39348 | Is it even fair to hazard an estimation of the man in his present environment? |
| 39348 | Is it, for example, quite impossible to supply them with that not uninteresting development of the musical- box-- the megaphone? |
| 39348 | There is a certain pathos in the question of the aged President asking General Snyman,"Where is Plumer? |
| 39348 | Was there a man dismayed in the Boer lines? |
| 39348 | We ask, When will the end be? |
| 39348 | Where do these rumours come from? |
| 39348 | Where else do express trains arrive several hours in advance of their scheduled time? |
| 39348 | Where else do goods trains arrive several days late? |
| 39348 | Who can tell? |
| 39348 | was such a thing possible? |
| 46303 | 1st Royal Munster Fusiliers-- Lieutenant D. Best(? |
| 46303 | A moment afterwards a voice was heard asking,"Can any one speak Dutch?" |
| 46303 | As we jolted along to Pretoria in an ox- waggon, I told Cordua it was a serious business for me; who would protect me should I escape? |
| 46303 | Have they not shown themselves worthy of their liberty and their fatherland? |
| 46303 | Was he to retire his Gordons and leave the guns in the enemy''s hands? |
| 46303 | What was to be done? |
| 46303 | Will the world allow them to be crushed? |
| 15175 | Who has ever heard of a Government which binds itself to give the surveyorship of a new country to one man only? 15175 And did they succeed? 15175 And how have they acquitted themselves of the task? 15175 And the question naturally arises-- how long will this continue? 15175 And when the question is asked-- why all this has happened? 15175 But what happened? 15175 Can anyone wonder that South Africa has lost all confidence in British statesmanship? 15175 Can it be contended with the slightest shadow of right and fairness that these grievances afford a reason for intervention? 15175 Do not the recorded grievances and abuses find a parallel in occurrences which are taking place every day in the most civilised countries? 15175 Is there any instance in the history of civilised diplomacy of such trickery and such callous jugglery with the highest interests of South Africa? 15175 May I ask was this the tone that St. Paul adopted in his mission work among the oppressed slaves of his day?... 15175 On what grounds does he base his claim? 15175 To what extent was effect given to these recommendations? 15175 Were the people and the Volksraad as corrupt as they thought, and as they still endeavour to make the world believe? 15175 What are the true facts? 15175 What are the true facts? 15175 What crimes have been committed here against humanity or the law of nations? 15175 What happened, however? 15175 What happened, however? 15175 Who can doubt it? 15109 ''And are those heavy wagons just going down the street carrying the big guns to the outskirts?'' 15109 ''And now,''he questioned,''if Rhodes refuses to give you the money, what will you do?'' 15109 ''And who might they be?'' 15109 ''Is it the death sentence?'' 15109 ''Is the news from Jameson really true?'' 15109 ''Lionel Phillips, have you any legal reasons to urge why sentence of death should not be passed upon you, according to law?'' 15109 ''Then will you say to Mrs. Kruger that I am praying to the same God that peace may come?'' 15109 ''Were you not afraid?'' 15109 ''What did you think I was going to do?'' 15109 ''What does she say?'' 15109 ''What for?'' 15109 ''When the worst comes, you''ll do all you can to help us, Sir James?'' 15109 ''Where were you?'' 15109 ''Will you please make an exception in my favour and allow me to see my husband? 15109 CAN THIS BE LOVE? 15109 Do you approve?''] 15109 Hammond, what did_ you_ do in the revolution?'' 15109 Heath, will you please tell my sister- in- law that I am alone?'' 15109 I could hear them ask,''Where is he?'' 15109 I have often been asked since if I did not realise that the Boers would never have_ dared_ execute my husband? 15109 I said to one of his countrymen,''Why does he, in his safety, flourish about, pinning us deeper down in the wreckage?'' 15109 I told him everything; showed him the letters which I had received, and, facing him, asked,''What is my duty? 15109 INDIA: WHAT CAN IT TEACH US? 15109 LUCK, OR CUNNING, AS THE MAIN MEANS OF ORGANIC MODIFICATION? 15109 Max Müller''s( F.)

| 32720 | But how could we, Lucy? |
| 32720 | Can you tell me anything more about this Babylon in Egypt? |
| 32720 | Do they leave the camels to die, and take no trouble to bury them or do anything with them? |
| 32720 | Do they pray towards Mecca, then, just as Daniel prayed towards Jerusalem? |
| 32720 | Has any one besides Colonel Howard Vyse tried to clear away the sand? |
| 32720 | How many yards is that, Hugh? |
| 32720 | I should like to make one little Egyptian girl a Christian,said Lucy;"would not you, Hugh?" |
| 32720 | Is it the same as Babylon the Great? |
| 32720 | May I ride round it? |
| 32720 | May we see it? |
| 32720 | Not even a small one like me? |
| 32720 | Shall we find the trees standing, all turned into stone? 32720 Was it safe for the officer to hide him?" |
| 32720 | What are those people doing? |
| 32720 | What did the man call that niche for prayer? |
| 32720 | What is that? 32720 What made it?" |
| 32720 | What sort of bed had you last night, Hugh? |
| 32720 | When can we see that? |
| 32720 | Where are we going now? |
| 32720 | Why was that city called''the City of the Dogs''? |
| 32720 | Why? |
| 32720 | Will they give us some dinner? |
| 32720 | Can I do it?" |
| 32720 | Did he know Emir Bey before?" |
| 32720 | Did you ever try to pack bricks into a box all but too small for them? |
| 32720 | For petrified means turned into stone, does it not?" |
| 32720 | Has Hugh got a bed?" |
| 32720 | Mamma, may we learn Egyptian?" |
| 32720 | Shall not we show our gratitude to him by helping our neighbours whenever we can, even at the cost of some self- denial? |
| 32720 | What was to be done? |
| 32720 | Where is it now? |
| 32720 | the great Saladin who fought with Richard Coeur de Lion?" |
| 22799 | How is it,they said,"that you have reached this country, hitherto unknown to men? |
| 22799 | Is it true, Dedi, that you can fasten on a head which has been cut off? |
| 22799 | Then the serpent began to speak:''What has brought thee, little one, what has brought thee? 22799 Who is he, Hordadef?" |
| 22799 | Who, then? |
| 22799 | And his wife answered,"Why, then, do you keep this dog always with you? |
| 22799 | And when they had nursed the three children awhile, Rud- didet''s husband said to them,"My ladies, what wages shall I give you?" |
| 22799 | And, still more, how were they ever swung up to that dizzy height, and laid in their places? |
| 22799 | But did you ever think what a long story it is, and how very early it begins? |
| 22799 | But what was heaven? |
| 22799 | But when they had gone a little way, Isis, the chief of them, said,"Why have we not done a wonder for these children?" |
| 22799 | But why did they give so much attention to their tombs? |
| 22799 | CHAPTER VI CHILD- LIFE IN ANCIENT EGYPT How did the boys and girls live in this quaint old land so many hundreds of years ago? |
| 22799 | Have you come by way of the sky, or have you sailed on the waters of the Divine Sea?" |
| 22799 | How can a rainless country grow anything? |
| 22799 | How does he go about it? |
| 22799 | How were they dressed, what sort of games did they play at, what sort of lessons did they learn, and what kind of school did they go to? |
| 22799 | How were they ever brought to the place? |
| 22799 | I suffer thee not to harm him; Comest thou to take him away? |
| 22799 | I suffer thee not to kiss him; Comest thou to quiet him? |
| 22799 | I suffer thee not to quiet him; Comest thou to harm him? |
| 22799 | It all seems rather a curious idea of heaven, does it not? |
| 22799 | It sounds very silly, does n''t it? |
| 22799 | Now, it fell on a day that he asked them,"Why do you stay here, trying always to climb this rock?" |
| 22799 | So he said to the servant who was with him,"What is this that walks behind the man who is coming along the road?" |
| 22799 | Then his Majesty said,''Why have you stopped rowing, little one?'' |
| 22799 | Then said his Majesty,"Why have I never seen you before, Dedi?" |
| 22799 | Then the Chief of Naharaina was very angry, and said,"Shall I give my daughter to an Egyptian fugitive? |
| 22799 | Therefore he sent a message to his father, saying,"Why am I always to be shut up here? |

| 36866 | And echo answered-- When? |
| 36866 | And will these men volunteer? |
| 36866 | At last we had our hands upon these Boers: what manner of men were they, and how did they live? |
| 36866 | But all with what result? |
| 36866 | But how? |

| 15106 | Does the Bible not say,''The Lord loveth the stranger?'' 15106 And can that gracious Lord, if we only let Him act, not also protect us against any wiles and dangers if such should occur in the future? 15106 Can true converts be made to order by constraint, motives of self- interest, or by baptizing them_ en bloc_? 15106 Could the religion of such teachers ever find favour with their victims? 15106 Did God not pull us through all along? 15106 How could doctrines of righteousness and love be understood when so glaringly violated by their preceptors? 15106 Is he likely to surrender it all to an invading beneficent operation? 15106 Is it not attributable in a large proportion to misguided as well as to venal journalism that the Boer cause has so heavily scored? 15106 Is it not well that we should take great care to act in accordance? 15106 Is it right or prudent to exclude such interests and such a majority from legislative representation? 15106 May we hate them for old questions which that peace was intended to bury for ever? 15106 Shall we deceive them? 15106 Was that dealing fairly by confiding strangers? 15106 What advantage would accrue to shareholders? 15106 What else does it reveal but a thinly veiled recruiting device for auxiliaries against England? 15106 What was done soon after we had attracted strangers to establish businesses with us? 15106 Who else but the devil is that enemy? 15106 Will he not rather continue a most determined and desperate resistance and oppose the most advanced of his subtle devices? 15106 was it not He who provided the peace of 1881 which restored our independence? 41017 Any chance of the rain stopping?" |

| 15110 | Clery''s force on the Mooi River? |
| 15110 | Has the Government appreciated either the needs of the situation or the temper of the Nation? |
| 15110 | Has the Government even now begun to take the war seriously? |
| 15110 | How comes it, then, that for six weeks Sir George White has to defend Natal with one against two? |
| 15110 | How long, then, the reader may ask, should the civil view of war be allowed scope and when should the military view be called in? |
| 15110 | It is admitted that this was not done, and what is the excuse now made? |

| 21704 | His name-- why should I not state it? |
| 21704 | I exclaimed,"the little girl who was saved by the missionaries of the Shire River?" |
| 21704 | Look, do n''t you see his eye? |

| 16672 | Am I to be cut out by some one discovering southern fountains of the river of Egypt, of which I have now no conception? |
| 16672 | But I inquired,"How can you believe the Arab so easily?" |
| 16672 | But why should we be so prone to criticise? |
| 16672 | Can it be a tradition of its being like the tree of life, which Archbishop Whately conjectures may have been used in Paradise to render man immortal? |
| 16672 | Did the people give the name Kumbé to the tree after the value of the gum became known to them? |
| 16672 | Did you not know that the country people would take advantage of your march, encumbered as you will be by women and slaves?" |
| 16672 | He answered with the usual reason,"But who would cook for strangers if I had but one?" |
| 16672 | He asked, if he went to Bombay what ought he to take to secure some gold? |
| 16672 | He had an abortive toe where his knee should have been; some said to his mother,"Kill him;"but she replied,"How can I kill my son?" |
| 16672 | He had heard of our want of food and of a band of sepoys, and what could the English think of doing but putting an end to the slave- trade? |
| 16672 | I asked a man who came to see what the arrival was, for a hut; he said,"Do strangers require huts, or ask for them at night?" |
| 16672 | I replied,"Ivory,"he rejoined,"Would slaves not be a good speculation?" |
| 16672 | I wonder if this"bubbling or boiling over"has been preserved as the form in which the true prophets of old gave forth their"burdens"? |
| 16672 | If they can not keep them, why buy them-- why put their money into a bag with holes? |
| 16672 | Is that not what is meant in"Blessed is he that considereth the poor"? |
| 16672 | Lunga, another river, comes out of nearly the same spot which goes into the Leuñge, Kafué(?). |
| 16672 | Settlers have carried the house- fly in bottles and boxes for their new locations, but what European insect will follow us and extirpate the tsetse? |

| 40830 | Are they then good pioneers? |
| 40830 | May not an Arab tribe have passed down along the east coast, and established themselves in the Mashona region, and formed a kingdom? |
| 40830 | May not these two tribes have travelled up the Zambese together at some remote time? |
| 40830 | May not this be one identification, that it was right that woman should be a ruler as well as man, handed down from the Queen of Sheba''s time? |
| 40830 | Now it is an interesting question, what tribe or nation did these emperors spring from? |
| 40830 | On which Durnford called out,"Will nobody stand by me?" |
| 40830 | The old Boer asked, which is always the first question put after shaking hands,"What''s your name? |

| 42737 | And then the Fiscal-- fat and old-- What matters? |
| 42737 | But Marinus loves to tell a story, and he has to listen to many; so I said:''His story of what?'' |
| 42737 | But no one would want this horror, would they?'' |
| 42737 | Could any torture of the Inquisition be worse? |
| 42737 | Do their ghosts disturb the dreams of the little high- school''backfish''? |
| 42737 | Gigantic appetites, had n''t they? |
| 42737 | His friends, filled with national and patriotic zeal, rushed out to Sea Point:''Have you, then, nothing of any value?'' |
| 42737 | How could they have manners and graces? |
| 42737 | Should such free householders cost the Company so much that soldiers are to be kept for their defence, instead of their assisting the Company?...'' |

| 42737 | Why not? |

| 7937 | Among the unsolvable riddles which nature propounds to mankind, we may reckon the question, Who is Mother Carey, and where does she rear her chickens? |
| 7937 | And again, why is not her own strength so directed as to give the trade a death- blow at once? |
| 7937 | But how is an American cruiser to take hold of a vessel so circumstanced? |
| 7937 | But who has a right to trample on a woman''s breast? |
| 7937 | But, in this case, where would be the head- money and the emigrants? |
| 7937 | Can a man, vowed to the service of a Divine Master, think it much to practise similar self- denial? |
| 7937 | Had a man fallen overboard? |
| 7937 | How much better will their condition be, as apprentices in Trinidad or Jamaica, than as slaves in Cuba? |
| 7937 | How then can such a vessel be taken or molested, so long as the present treaties and laws continue in force? |
| 7937 | How, then, can it be made profitable in Liberia, where labor commands so high a price, and is often impossible to be procured? |
| 7937 | If sincere, why does she not, as she readily might, induce Spain, Portugal, and Brazil, to declare the traffic piratical? |
| 7937 | What can have been the motive of such a seclusion? |
| 7937 | Who should win it?--her guardian angel? |
| 7937 | or the gambling fiend? |
| 7937 | or, possibly, to live his own simple life, untrammelled by the irksome exterior of greatness? |
| 7937 | to do with warlike parade? |
| 7937 | was it in the personal character of the king, and did he shut himself up to meditate on high matters, or to revel in physical indulgence? |
| 23692 | Did I ever tell Mr. Shepstone,his Majesty cried,"that I would not kill? |
| 23692 | What did you do? |
| 23692 | What we have to consider is, what will be the condition of things here in the event of a conflict? 23692 What,"said he,"would you have us do? |
| 23692 | A second horseman appeared approaching the fort, his horse apparently much blown, Who is he?... |
| 23692 | As to our tillage, or building, or planting, our forefathers did so and so and were satisfied, and why should not we do the same? |
| 23692 | At Dalkeith he remarked:--"If we cast our eyes to South Africa, what do we behold? |
| 23692 | But what were the circumstances under which that annexation was effected? |
| 23692 | But why this delay? |
| 23692 | Can you beat them? |
| 23692 | Did Mr. Rhodes engage in the plot for the sake of financial gain? |
| 23692 | Did Mr. Shepstone tell the white people I made such an arrangement? |
| 23692 | Did he do so out of sympathy for the"cause,"or did he attempt a magnificent political_ coup_? |
| 23692 | Did the Reformers set all their grievances aside before the paramount question,"Under which flag, Jameson?" |
| 23692 | How can England hope for loyalty from South Africans? |
| 23692 | I called out to the Commandant on the bank that we were stuck, and to send assistance, or might we return? |
| 23692 | I immediately said,''Do you think it is any use going back?'' |
| 23692 | Is there one man in this Raad who would accept the Franchise on the same terms? |
| 23692 | The Manifesto wound up with the pertinent question,"How shall we get it?" |
| 23692 | The officer commanding our party( Captain Robertson, 92nd) then signalled the question,''Who are you?'' |
| 23692 | They had gained by strategy a strong position; but could they hold it? |
| 23692 | Turning to Captain Elliot, who was sitting beside me, I said,''We must swim for it,''and asked could he swim? |
| 23692 | Under this ideal(?) |
| 23692 | Were they attacked, or attacking? |
| 23692 | What was it? |
| 23692 | What would you have done?" |
| 23692 | Who is he?... |
| 23692 | Who shall say? |
| 23692 | Why do the white people start at nothing? |
| 23692 | Why does the Governor of Natal speak to me about my laws? |
| 23692 | Why should they permit people to mock at the Almighty in this manner? |
| 41744 | Can the Mahdi do that? |
| 41744 | Do your rivers in France run in a straight line? |
| 41744 | How''s that, sir? |
| 41744 | Well then,the Pasha triumphantly exclaimed,"do you think that either you or I know better than Allah how water ought to run?" |
| 41744 | What is the use of your making all these alterations,reasoned the Egyptian official,"if they are not to last?" |
| 41744 | Who made them; was it not Allah? |
| 41744 | Are you guilty, or are you not guilty, of the crime with which you stand charged?" |
| 41744 | As early as 1.30, the ships were beginning to run short of ammunition, and the_ Sultan_ signalled to the_ Alexandra_,"How many filled shell have you?" |
| 41744 | Being asked,"Where is Osman Digna?" |
| 41744 | Europeans,"he said,"are ahead of us, but why? |
| 41744 | For the sake of this handful, is it advisable to reverse Soudan policy? |
| 41744 | If you lose two or three, what of it? |
| 41744 | Is it because they are stronger, better, or more enduring than we? |
| 41744 | It has been asked, Why were the fatigue men employed in cutting materials for the zeriba allowed to go into the bush unarmed? |
| 41744 | Lord Dufferin added the question,"Why was the Sultan not there with his troops to keep them in order?" |
| 41744 | On what was the authority to rest which was to enable him to cope with intrigues in his Cabinet or conspiracy among his troops? |
| 41744 | Que voulez- vous ici?" |
| 41744 | Tewfik again wavered, he turned for counsel to a native officer at his side, and repeated,"What can I do? |
| 41744 | The Constitution was excellent as a model, but where did the strength reside that alone could make it work? |
| 41744 | The Khedive addressed Colvin, and said,"You hear what he says?" |
| 41744 | The Sirdar then asked,"Why have you come into my country to burn and kill?" |
| 41744 | The former is represented as saying,"Most serious, is it not? |
| 41744 | The_ Sultan_ replied in the affirmative, adding,"Can you touch up Pharos? |
| 41744 | This being so, of what had De Lesseps to complain, and where does the question of neutrality arise? |
| 41744 | Was he, at his time of life, to be asked to give reasons for all he had done? |
| 41744 | What possible influence could my saying that that feeble Treaty of 1877 was not going to be enforced have on people who were going to be abandoned?" |
| 41744 | When, however, the question was put to him,"To whom do you attribute these changes for the better?" |
| 32913 | And at that time,interpolated the interviewer,"they had to contend with natives, who are now subdued?" |
| 32913 | And seeing that the Cape is so much nearer to England than Australia, there is no reason why an export trade should not be developed in time? |
| 32913 | Did you observe the criticisms of the_ Financial News_ on your proposal regarding the railway from Bulawayo to the sea? |
| 32913 | Do you think the black men in South Africa are likely to disappear as the whites increase? |
| 32913 | Do you, then, think that the best farms are already allotted? |
| 32913 | Had you an opportunity of discussing such problems with Mr Escombe or any of the leading politicians of the Colony? |
| 32913 | How do you think the white men in Natal now would regard the influx? |
| 32913 | How were you impressed with Natal? |
| 32913 | I daresay it is your opinion that little can be done in this direction by the isolated efforts of individuals? |
| 32913 | In your opinion Rhodesia is well adapted for cattle raising? |
| 32913 | Is there in Rhodesia plenty of land beyond what is required for the Matabele and the Mashonas? |
| 32913 | Is there not an obstacle to your scheme, in the circumstance that people nowadays are not content to go abroad for a mere living? 32913 Men, of course, can support themselves on farms, even although there is no town in the vicinity to furnish a market for their surplus produce?" |
| 32913 | Probably Cape Town would look askance at any proposal to establish a port at Mossamedes? |
| 32913 | The coolie immigration question, I take it, is not one of the least of these? |
| 32913 | Then you appear to justify Rhodes in his attempt to rectify this? |
| 32913 | Those are points in economic development that want immediate tackling? |
| 32913 | What are the principal countries outside South Africa from which such settlers could be drawn? |
| 32913 | What do you propose as a means towards the end you speak of? |
| 32913 | What, all these miles of groves and gardens and villas sprung up since 1892? |
| 32913 | You think Mr Rhodes has perhaps overlooked the advantage of putting forward these considerations? |
| 32913 | And here, it seems to me, is a fitting place to ask: What is Rhodesia, about which so much has been said and written? |
| 32913 | But how does the scene at Bulawayo affect the political world? |
| 32913 | But what have we to do with racial war and its horrors? |
| 32913 | How are you to reach the class of people required for this? |
| 32913 | How does that agree with a fourpenny tax on a four- pound loaf of bread? |
| 32913 | The immigration would have to be worked from this end, would it not?" |
| 32913 | We can only get impressions from the mutterings of those in the country who say,` What is the use of coming here? |
| 32913 | We have to abide by the Convention; why should not the other party also abide by it? |
| 32913 | What are its prospects? |
| 32913 | What are their offers? |
| 32913 | What are you to offer them? |
| 32913 | What is Rhodesia? |
| 32913 | What, then, is to be done? |
| 32913 | Why do you all the time place English sentiment in opposition to us, with a view of tyrannising over us? |
| 32913 | Why not have continued it on to the Victoria Falls? |
| 32913 | Why not have continued this trunk line on to Salisbury, on to Tete, and the Zambesi? |
| 32913 | Why this place more than any other? |
| 32913 | Why will men not follow in the path of the Lord instead of losing money at races and by gambling?" |
| 41521 | Who goes there? |
| 41521 | ( President).--''I presume you will not object to that continuing?'' |
| 41521 | 244 the question was,''Is there any distinction in regard to the privileges or rights of Englishmen in the Transvaal?'' |
| 41521 | 244 the question was:''Is there any distinction in regard to the privileges or rights of Englishmen in the Transvaal?'' |
| 41521 | And equal privileges?" |
| 41521 | Are you ready, Harry?''" |
| 41521 | As to the sun, did n''t Joshua bid it stand still, and how could he have done that if it was already stationary and the world went round it? |
| 41521 | Before annexation had British subjects complete freedom of trade throughout the Transvaal? |
| 41521 | Boer or Briton? |
| 41521 | But how, I ask, could they play the craven when one- half were stark and stiff, dying, as they had lived, for their country? |
| 41521 | Could a final demand for redress on this account be postponed? |
| 41521 | Everybody, unconsciously it may be, puts the question,"Why should a shell hit me rather than another?" |
| 41521 | For Jingoism? |
| 41521 | How could General Gatacre have found out that the hill could not be scaled without attempting it with his men? |
| 41521 | I presume you will not object to that continuing?" |
| 41521 | Is the oath of allegiance required from a person, not being born in the Transvaal, coming to reside there, who claims burgher rights? |
| 41521 | It is another form of the question: At what distance is a self- cocking revolver a better weapon than a magazine rifle? |
| 41521 | President--"When?" |
| 41521 | Then it is not every burgher who has a vote; it is only the burghers who have taken the oath of allegiance that have a vote? |
| 41521 | There are no disabilities with regard to trade, are there?" |
| 41521 | What better title is there anywhere for self- government than a people in the majority? |
| 41521 | When do we hear of Moses or Noah riding in a railway?" |
| 41521 | Why do the white men start at nothing? |
| 41521 | Why should they be bounded in enterprise in the way all the stars have led, any more than eastward whence comes the light of day? |
| 41521 | Why were the Boers, who came over and swarmed around them safe, while the British had been crushed on that very spot by an"inferno"fire? |
| 41521 | Wood).--''And equal privileges?'' |
| 41521 | [ Sidenote: Love of Liberty] What of the Boer love of freedom? |
| 41521 | [ Sidenote: Natal Forces] Meanwhile what of the South African Colonies? |
| 41521 | [ Sidenote: Who Broke the Peace?] |
| 41521 | were they on the same footing as citizens?" |
| 34548 | And dogma? |
| 34548 | But where are all our people? |
| 34548 | Do not I read in the Book,he said,"that the world stands on four pillars?" |
| 34548 | And yet who shall limit Africa to one aspect? |
| 34548 | As one lives with it the thought arises, May not some future civilisation grow up here in keeping with the grave country? |
| 34548 | But for the rest? |
| 34548 | But where are the natives to come from? |
| 34548 | But which is which? |
| 34548 | He did not give his confidence readily, as who would if he believed that the world was in league against him? |
| 34548 | How far has this act improved the economic position of the Transvaal? |
| 34548 | How much, I wonder, will the new- comers see of its manifold graces? |
| 34548 | How much, I wonder, will they see of it all-- the people who have the purse to compass health resorts and the constitutions to need them? |
| 34548 | I readily grant the latter, but is the first fairly described? |
| 34548 | I suppose fifteen to twenty miles might be a good day''s march, but who shall measure value by miles? |
| 34548 | In some future century( who knows? |
| 34548 | Is, then, the small holder of 100 or 200 acres, or the owner of a mixed farm of 1000 acres, to become extinct in the land? |
| 34548 | Patience may be a distasteful counsel, but why should she disquiet herself when all things in the end must be in her hands? |
| 34548 | Social and political rights also must be given; but why social and political equality? |
| 34548 | The Dutch, in their heyday, had an empire chiefly of forts and factories; and what part has the Dutch empire played in the destinies of mankind? |
| 34548 | The real question is, Can they offer the settler no greater risks than he has to face elsewhere, and at least a fair chance of greater prosperity? |
| 34548 | The sun beats on it at mid- day with pitiless force, and if it was hot in the month of August, what must it be at midsummer? |
| 34548 | There are two questions to be met: How far is the land capable of intensive and sustained production? |
| 34548 | Two questions may be taken as the general heads of our inquiry: first, Wherein consists the wealth of the land, actual and potential? |
| 34548 | What could it be but the great river of Egypt? |
| 34548 | What fashionable suburb has a vista of forty miles of wild country, with a mountain wall on the horizon? |
| 34548 | What is this mysterious thing, this veld, so full of memories for the English race, so omnipresent, so baffling? |
| 34548 | What is to be the end of this fecundity? |
| 34548 | What is to be the fate of it? |
| 34548 | What manner of men are the citizens of this new nation to be? |
| 34548 | What mattered desperate peril so long as it had daylight and honour in it? |
| 34548 | What part are the native races to play in the labour- supply and the production of South Africa? |
| 34548 | What, then, is the proper view to take of this footnote to the world''s history, this Marathon of an unimaginative race? |
| 34548 | When mines are shut down because of a lack of underground labourers, what becomes of the Englishmen who work above ground? |
| 34548 | Will the result, as Cromwell asked long ago, be"answerable to the simplicity and honesty of the design"? |
| 34548 | and, granting the capacity, what guarantee is there of profitable markets? |
| 34548 | and, secondly, How best may that wealth be maintained and developed for the national good? |
| 34548 | what is to be their economic destiny in face of the competition of modern life and the industrial development of the country? |
| 34548 | what is to be their tenure of land? |
| 42956 | Are the mounted men all in? |
| 42956 | I fear''tis so, General,was the answer; upon which our chief exclaimed,"And what are you, sir, doing here?" |
| 42956 | Is that the case? 42956 Speak, sir; what has happened?" |
| 42956 | What has become of Somtsen( Shepstone)? |
| 42956 | What have your English dogs done with the traitor Oham? |
| 42956 | Where is the Prince? |
| 42956 | Why,it will be asked,"were not the waggons laagered? |
| 42956 | Again, who could have anticipated the attack? |
| 42956 | But why was Colonel Durnford to form squares? |
| 42956 | Cetywayo was much grieved at this, and exclaimed,''Why does Umnyama do this? |
| 42956 | Here is the answer to"How did it happen?" |
| 42956 | How could a general lead troops in such a condition against a foe flushed and elated with spoil and recent victory? |
| 42956 | I might envy, but I could not participate--"For who can view the ripen''d rose, nor seek To wear it?" |
| 42956 | It is asked why did not the troops form squares? |
| 42956 | It will be asked why this had not been done long since? |
| 42956 | The whispered"Who goes there?" |
| 42956 | Was not this a good reason for striking a blow? |
| 42956 | Were not the mounted men, under the terrible Buller, flying before the fierce onslaught of the Zulu braves? |
| 42956 | What was he under these circumstances to do? |
| 42956 | What was to be done? |
| 42956 | Where are the guardians of England''s princely guest? |
| 42956 | Where is the English iron nerve that is proof against the panic of a moment? |
| 42956 | Where was the friend and associate of England''s guest? |
| 42956 | Where was the officer who had specially applied for this sacred and most honourable duty? |
| 42956 | Where, we want to know, was the English officer in command of the"escort"? |
| 42956 | Whose duty was it to see this done?" |
| 42956 | Why does he act treacherously towards me? |
| 42956 | Why does he not send a message to tell me to deliver myself up?'' |
| 42956 | and why was Cetywayo allowed to escape?" |
| 16603 | Any more entries for the United Service mule race? 16603 Are you killed?" |
| 16603 | Are you? |
| 16603 | But how if you get pom- pom too, boss? |
| 16603 | Call that a performance? |
| 16603 | Do n''t you know your own friends? |
| 16603 | They are arrant cowards, these Boers,he cried, stamping the echoing ground;"why do n''t they come on and fight us like men?" |
| 16603 | Where''s Captain Paley? |
| 16603 | Where''s Captain Paley? |
| 16603 | Who''s that? 16603 Why do n''t they go on bombardin''of us to- day?" |
| 16603 | Are you ready? |
| 16603 | But here and at Dundee we must make a stand, and all yesterday and this morning we have thought only of one question: Will they venture to come on? |
| 16603 | But two or three more such victories, and where should we be? |
| 16603 | But what was that position? |
| 16603 | But who knows whether by Christmas we shall not be glad even of a bit of old trek- ox? |
| 16603 | Can it be a Dutchman who has such a pleasant wit? |
| 16603 | Can the black- coated old gentleman inside be Oom Paul himself? |
| 16603 | Can this be the herald of it? |
| 16603 | Did I not say that Zulu was the future language of opera? |
| 16603 | Did they bring reinforcements, or were they waiting to take"Long Tom"home by return ticket? |
| 16603 | Do we lose no men? |
| 16603 | From whom shall we indignant Britons demand our money back? |
| 16603 | Had Buller really advanced? |
| 16603 | Had I not promised never to bring them into danger-- always to leave them snug in the rear? |
| 16603 | Had the Basutos overrun the Free State? |
| 16603 | Is it possible that tin huts might be their Capua? |
| 16603 | Is there not something a little medià ¦ val in sending a crowd of hungry non- combatants into an invested town? |
| 16603 | My pass was in my hand; and what was the good of it? |
| 16603 | Or what would she say if we allowed her sick and wounded to die in discomfort for the want of a little money? |
| 16603 | Sentry, are you keeping your eye on that gun?" |
| 16603 | So the chances of attack seem about equally balanced, and only the days can answer that one question of ours: Will they come on? |
| 16603 | Then a sentry cried,"Who''s there? |
| 16603 | Then some inspired genius( Major Carey- Davis[? |
| 16603 | Three or four messages came through, but who could have guessed the thrilling importance of the first? |
| 16603 | Was that the reason of the day''s failure? |
| 16603 | Was"Long Tom"ill? |
| 16603 | What is it all but a huge military tournament to be pulled together, and got up to time? |
| 16603 | What is the good of Christianity? |
| 16603 | What should we have done without the Naval guns? |
| 16603 | What was the matter? |
| 16603 | When shall we hear of a masterly advance to our aid? |
| 16603 | Who''s there?" |
| 16603 | Why do the women go to look? |
| 16603 | Yet who knows? |
| 16603 | _ December 18, 1899._ How is one to treat an indeterminate situation? |
| 16603 | _ February 1, 1900._ How we should have laughed in November at the thought of being shut up here till February? |
| 16603 | _ February 7, 1900._ We have now but one thought-- is it possible for Buller to force his way across that line of hills overlooking the Tugela? |
| 16603 | who goes there?" |
| 41976 | Blood- brothers,you say,"what does that mean?" |
| 41976 | Do n''t they have any houses to protect them during the storms? 41976 Do you think they will steal from us unless we watch carefully?" |
| 41976 | Do you use nets, or catch the fish with hooks? |
| 41976 | HOW do these queer little people sleep? |
| 41976 | How dare you enter my house in such a rude manner? |
| 41976 | How do they light their fires? |
| 41976 | How do you fish? |
| 41976 | Mpuke, do you think a gorilla is near us? |
| 41976 | Owi? |
| 41976 | What do you mean? |
| 41976 | What,we say,"is it possible that a savage knows how to fill teeth?" |
| 41976 | Would you like to go? |
| 41976 | ("Is it dead?") |
| 41976 | ARE you ready for a long journey this morning? |
| 41976 | And what kind of clothes do the men and women wear? |
| 41976 | But how does Mpuke spend the afternoon after he has returned from the camp of the dwarfs? |
| 41976 | But what is the message that causes such a state of excitement? |
| 41976 | Did the doctor really have the power to drive spirits away? |
| 41976 | Did you ever see a spider''s web propped up by a tiny twig? |
| 41976 | Do you care to taste it? |
| 41976 | Do you not think so? |
| 41976 | Do you suppose the black hunters laughed at the idea of help from this group of tiny people? |
| 41976 | Gombo, will you tell my people what we discovered as we nearly reached the village?" |
| 41976 | Has a passing hunter shot it during its mother''s absence, or did it sicken and die? |
| 41976 | Has any one been setting a snare here for birds or rabbits? |
| 41976 | It is very seldom that an outsider is allowed to enter the sacred(?) |
| 41976 | Must I endure this? |
| 41976 | Or was it the medicine the boy swallowed? |

| 17968 | But why should the English insist upon obtaining the franchise for Uitlanders? |
| 17968 | Has an inferior civilisation the right to impose itself upon a superior civilisation, and to propagate itself by means of war? |
| 17968 | Has civilisation the right to propagate itself by means of war? |

| 17968 | Their resolution might be couched in words as strong as they liked, but what effective sanction could they give it? 17968 Two years of continuous registration,"--but are the registers carefully kept in the Transvaal? |
| 17968 | Who is responsible for the War in South Africa? |
| 17968 | Why should he not appoint as one of his nominees an Uitlander of position, whose integrity and judgment he has confidence in? 17968 Why then did you not take it yourselves?" |
| 17968 | And what of the Boers? |
| 17968 | But arbitration of what kind? |
| 17968 | Could England recognise the right which the Boers had given themselves, to violate over and over again the Conventions of 1881 and 1884? |
| 17968 | For instance, what did the words"trifling matters"mean? |
| 17968 | Here we have a minority governing the majority; what else is an oligarchy? |
| 17968 | How did the Boers construe the application of these conditions of the Convention of 1884? |
| 17968 | However,"Who should intervene?" |
| 17968 | I have been asked"Why have you not answered Dr. Kuyper''s article in the_ Revue des Deux Mondes_?" |
| 17968 | I have heard it said that between those dates a cablegram from Dr. Leyds gave hopes of European intervention...."Does this telegram exist? |
| 17968 | If you mention Transvaal affairs to a Pro- Boer, he shuts you up at once with"what about the Jameson Raid?" |
| 17968 | Is it likely that this glorious little country will consent? |
| 17968 | Is not this an answer to those who contended that England"would not be satisfied with what she offered the Transvaal?" |
| 17968 | Now why were the Boers not represented at the Hague Conference? |
| 17968 | Secondly, what was the object of this meeting? |
| 17968 | Then, certain members of the ultra peace party ask hotly:"Why did he not accept arbitration?" |
| 17968 | Were they on the same footing as the citizens of the Transvaal?''" |
| 17968 | What Uitlander then could ever have obtained his naturalisation? |
| 17968 | What does it prove? |
| 17968 | What is the future? |
| 17968 | What is the reply of the Boer Government on September 2nd? |
| 17968 | What will the position of the Republics then be? |
| 17968 | Why then did the Boers,"so essentially men of war and politics,"permit this? |
| 17968 | [ 24] 1.--_Where are the Peace Lovers?_ I have finished my criticism of Dr. Kuyper''s article. |
| 17968 | about what? |
| 17968 | and which will be reserved? |
| 17968 | which are the subjects it will be competent to settle? |
| 35308 | And there is but one God? |
| 35308 | And you are sure,continued the Kaffir,"that man is very wicked, and God alone is good?" |
| 35308 | But,asked another,"was it followed by refreshing rain?" |
| 35308 | Has he a sore throat? |
| 35308 | In the arms? |
| 35308 | In the chest? |
| 35308 | Pain in the shoulders? |
| 35308 | Was it large? |
| 35308 | Well, have the old men no power to restrain them from throwing it? |
| 35308 | Were they so very numerous? |
| 35308 | What are you doing here? |
| 35308 | What is he saying? |
| 35308 | What surprised him most? |
| 35308 | Who would imagine,thought I,"that such a scene of peace and beauty should be one of the fastnesses for wild beasts?" |
| 35308 | Why,I asked,"are the young men permitted to raise their voices above the old ones?" |
| 35308 | Are such qualities consistent with bravery of character? |
| 35308 | At last, the former asks the invalid who has bewitched him? |
| 35308 | Colonel Somerset asked what guarantee he should have that Pato would keep his word: a word which had been broken so often? |
| 35308 | Has no one ever doubted that One being wise and the other being weak and sinful? |
| 35308 | Have we not driven God Almighty from the land?'' |
| 35308 | He afterwards asked the interpreter how it was that white women spoke with the minds of men? |
| 35308 | How? |
| 35308 | I asked Tola if he belonged to the war- party? |
| 35308 | Of what availed the slave''s freedom, under such circumstances? |
| 35308 | On recovering her senses, the fair nun inquired if the gentleman who had caused her emotion bore the name of H? |
| 35308 | On their dismissal, they repaired to the Kraal, where several members of each tribe awaited their return with the eager question,"What news?" |
| 35308 | Punctual himself, he was naturally angry at their absence, and demanded where they were? |
| 35308 | Some crept nearer the bivouac, and entreated their favourite pack- oxen to come out to them:` What business,''said they,` have you among white men? |
| 35308 | The savage pondered some minutes, and then observed,"What proof have you that God is right, and men are wrong? |
| 35308 | The` moon is dead,''and where is the promised cattle from Stock? |
| 35308 | Then why indulge in what he had never been accustomed to? |
| 35308 | These were, to obey the laws established by him; to abolish and"disbelieve"(?) |
| 35308 | Umhala asked several times, in a tone of quiet impertinence,"by what right Colonel Hare had summoned him at all? |
| 35308 | We asked them if they, too, had lost their cattle? |
| 35308 | What must have been their feelings when they beheld her run right ashore? |
| 35308 | What proof was there of his hostility towards Gasella?" |
| 35308 | What, for instance, could be more cunning than Kreli''s reply, when accused of sheltering Pato? |
| 35308 | What, in the meanwhile, became of him? |
| 35308 | Where are the happy faces I have seen gathered round the cheerful hearth long years ago? |
| 35308 | Where are the large herds of cattle of which I left you in possession? |
| 35308 | Where are these poor Bushmen now? |
| 35308 | With a grave face and solemn air, the doctor begins his inquiries,--"Does his head ache?" |
| 35308 | Yet, what could be done? |
| 35308 | You tell us that every one is wrong, and God alone is right?" |
| 35308 | _ Did I ever tell you a lie_?" |
| 35308 | ` No, no,''said another party,` who ever heard of attacking a kraal of guns?'' |

| 13777 | The enterprise displayed was admirable; but-- had we to wait till the vegetables grew? |
| 13777 | The possibility of forwarding them to their destination was out of the question; how were they to be sent out of Kimberley? |

| 10355 | Aged Moor.--"What can I do for you, stranger? |

| 10355 | Am I not buying?" |
| 10355 | Are you going to possess it again?" |
| 10355 | But how many of us really and knowingly seek our misfortunes? |
| 10355 | Can anything be more ruinous to commerce? |
| 10355 | Can not you tell me where money is buried? |

| 10355 | How is it possible for men thus fed, to fight and wrestle with the billows and terrors of the deep? |
| 10355 | How much do you owe the Sultan, my master?" |
| 10355 | If any one were to ask me,"What would carry a roan to Timbuctoo through the Desert? |
| 10355 | On our entrance, the solitary Moor raised his eyes, quietly, and said faintly,"Where is it?" |
| 10355 | The Moors.--"Of what country are you?" |
| 10355 | The lieutenant- governor sent for Phillips, to know what I came for, who I was, and how I passed my time? |
| 10355 | Then his Excellency asked, in due studied form:"Where do you come from?" |
| 10355 | Traveller.--"But will the Emir of the Shereefs accept of money from us Christians?" |
| 10355 | Traveller.--"Can I travel in safety in Morocco?" |
| 10355 | Traveller.--"Tell me how to get on in my mission? |
| 10355 | Traveller.--"Well, what then? |
| 10355 | Traveller.--"What am I to give the minister Ben Dris, to get his favour?" |
| 10355 | Traveller.--"What do you think of the country( Cordova)?" |
| 10355 | What are you doing?" |
| 10355 | What can I do for you in my country?" |
| 10355 | What though the Desert wind slay me; What of it? |
| 10355 | What was all this? |
| 10355 | What was this Moorish boat in which I went on shore? |
| 10355 | When will mankind learn that violation of the physical economy of their nature can never be acceptable to the Great Creator? |
| 10355 | When will people learn to be united, so that by union they may win their freedom and independence? |
| 10355 | Where are you going? |
| 10355 | Where next are you going?" |
| 10355 | Why not be quiet and return home, and live a marabout? |
| 10355 | Your young children are even praised by their mothers if they commit a theft without being found out:[ 27] is this right?" |
| 10355 | [ 33] I asked a Moor,"Who built this castle on the sands?" |
| 10355 | [ 6] Traveller.--"Nonsense; have you seen the hundred pillars of your mosque?" |
| 10355 | _ His Excellency_.--"What''s your business?" |
| 10355 | _ His Excellency_.--"Where are you going?" |
| 10355 | _ Moors_.--"All the people of Morocco are soldiers; what can the foreigner do against them? |
| 10355 | _ Moors_.--"How much pay has the Governor of Gibraltar?" |
| 10355 | _ Renegade._--"Why? |
| 10355 | _ Taleb_.--"Now, as you have become so wise in our country, and read Arabic, where next are you going? |
| 10355 | _ Traveller._--"Are you not conscience- stricken? |
| 10355 | _ Traveller._--"Do you like this country and the Moors?" |
| 10355 | _ Traveller._--"Shall you ever attempt to return to Spain?" |
| 10355 | _ Traveller_--"How long have you escaped?" |
| 10355 | _ Traveller_.--"It''s not your religion to sell Mussulman; you sell the children of your own slaves, born in your houses, and who are Mussulmen?" |
| 10355 | are you children, or are ye men?" |
| 10355 | do you intend to act like Christians and kill one another?" |
| 10355 | having committed such a crime, how can you mention it?" |
| 10355 | is it courage, or money, or prudence?" |
| 10355 | who can resist?" |
| 10355 | why should we respect the national existence of any community of Mahometans? |
| 32875 | How,he said,"could I have remained loyal to a Government which I knew intended to leave me in the lurch afterwards? |
| 32875 | Is he not marked with small- pox? |
| 32875 | Is he not slightly lame? |
| 32875 | Who''s there? |
| 32875 | ("Is the Master Yusef alive?") |
| 32875 | ("Who are you?") |
| 32875 | Adlan answered:"What can I do? |
| 32875 | At this moment I received a kick in the ribs from Ahmed Wad Suleiman, who cried out,"Ask him how many guns are in possession of the unbelievers?" |
| 32875 | Besides, who could say what changes might not take place in a year in Omdurman, which might entirely frustrate our plans? |
| 32875 | For some moments we were so excited we could scarcely speak; but my first thought was,"Why is Bonomi only sent for?" |
| 32875 | For the sake of three people did not England undertake a costly and difficult war? |
| 32875 | Had he returned? |
| 32875 | Had our flight been discovered at once? |
| 32875 | Had they remained faithful, what had they to expect when the Mahdi prevailed? |
| 32875 | Having arrived there he said,"Have you not seen my army?" |
| 32875 | He was sure they would come-- but when? |
| 32875 | His actual words were,"What prevents me now from throwing you into the river, and making you food for fishes?" |
| 32875 | His first question was,"Osta Yusef fi?" |
| 32875 | How could he attempt resistance with a feeble force of this description? |
| 32875 | How could people accustomed to ease and comfort bear up against such hardships? |
| 32875 | How long shall this condition of affairs continue? |
| 32875 | How should I explain Bonomi''s absence to the emir without saying anything which would implicate myself? |
| 32875 | How was it possible Gordon could be for an instant in doubt as to the inclinations and intentions of these men? |
| 32875 | I took him to my hut, and after the usual Arabic greetings, he said to me,"Here I am, are you coming?" |
| 32875 | Idris also added,"By what right should we be ruled by the Turks? |
| 32875 | Is not even a more worthy object the punishment of Abdullah and the delivery of the enslaved and decimated peoples? |
| 32875 | Negotiation with Abdullah is hopeless; that has been proved by many well- intentioned efforts, but shall savagery and desolation continue for ever? |
| 32875 | Now what good could this execution have done for Mahdiism? |

| 32875 | Reflections on the situation in the Sudan-- The horrors of the present Khalifa''s rule-- How long shall it continue? |
| 32875 | Several of the survivors of Khartum would pass by these wretched people, and staring at their wounds would shout out,"Have you forgotten Khartum?" |
| 32875 | Shall the roads remain always closed that lead from Halfa and Sawakin to the richest provinces of Africa? |
| 32875 | Sheikh Idris was annoyed at my ill- treatment, but what could one man do with these hordes of fanatics? |
| 32875 | The Arabs also approached; but Klootz, who did not understand a word of Arabic, called out,"Dervish-- where is the Dervish?" |
| 32875 | The Khalifa sent for the mukuddum to inquire about the matter, and casually asked about the other Greeks, and where they were? |
| 32875 | The Mudir extorted all the corn and money he could from the rich merchants, but of what good was a mere handful of corn to the soldiers? |
| 32875 | Then might not death intervene any day? |
| 32875 | Then the monk said,"Do you see this book? |
| 32875 | We trotted quietly on towards this village, when a man suddenly sprang out in front of us and cried,"Enta min?" |
| 32875 | What could Gordon do alone, against the now universally worshipped Mahdi? |
| 32875 | What could it be? |
| 32875 | What would happen to those left behind? |
| 32875 | Where may they look for a deliverer? |
| 32875 | Who could the unfortunate man be? |
| 32875 | Why should I live any longer? |
| 32875 | Why should they remain loyal to a Government which had decided to give up their land? |
| 32875 | Why should they seek after riches when in a very short time the world would cease to exist? |
| 32875 | Would Bonomi succeed, and what would happen to me? |
| 32875 | can we not govern ourselves?" |
| 28016 | But,said her friends,"suppose she dies? |

| 28016 | Would she enjoy being with the Lord much more than living on like this? |
| 28016 | A slave appeared once and said,"I have a mistress: she''s very old, is n''t she?" |
| 28016 | After all, argues the Moor, who could wish to alter Morocco? |
| 28016 | After all, who and what are to blame except the people themselves? |

| 28016 | And who knows what lies at the bottom of those quiet pools? |
| 28016 | And yet, how much does one know of them? |
| 28016 | But why? |
| 28016 | But would S`lam trouble to prevent that? |
| 28016 | CHAPTER V Why curse? |
| 28016 | Could S`lam possibly see? |
| 28016 | Did it grumble to itself, that vessel of the more ungainly make? |
| 28016 | Even then one would turn round at the door and say,"Then I am to eat this ointment?" |
| 28016 | If it was water, why did S`lam keep it wrapped up, and why did Tahara think it was poison? |
| 28016 | If told to be silent, they reply that they must talk to keep awake; for if they fell asleep, how could they guard? |
| 28016 | In what, O wheel, have I offended you? |
| 28016 | Is anything better, anything better? |
| 28016 | Private matters are public property: the man in the street chats with the Minister of Finance-- for are not all men equal? |
| 28016 | Query: have many artists been lost to the world in fourteen hundred years among a sect numbering a hundred millions? |
| 28016 | The other wanderers in Tangier filter through the land from their own countries: who can tell why or wherefore? |
| 28016 | Was it not certain to be shut when we wanted to return? |
| 28016 | Was it to end in death or release? |
| 28016 | Was there to be more rain? |
| 28016 | What are the twelve uncomfortable days by sea to Jeddah? |
| 28016 | What is time to an Arab? |
| 28016 | What is, is good; why"civilize"and"progress"? |
| 28016 | What shall we get for our money then?" |
| 28016 | What was the use of reading? |
| 28016 | Who can tell what a day may not bring forth? |
| 28016 | Who could tell? |
| 28016 | Who knows? |
| 28016 | Why should he read? |
| 28016 | Why should they give themselves the fatigue of walking? |
| 28016 | Why should they strike out a line of their own, these"cattle"and"beasts of burden,"as they call themselves? |
| 28016 | Why should they? |
| 28016 | Why should we want to learn anything?" |
| 28016 | Would the city gate still be open when we reached it? |
| 28016 | Would we give him a sheet of paper and envelope? |
| 28016 | cried the poor, discomfited loser;"did you not receive the mirror?" |
| 28016 | did the Hand then of the Potter shake? |
| 28016 | do you see any one coming?" |
| 8564 | The hands of the Moor In his wrath do they bind him? 8564 ''You people of the Gadado or Atego,''& c,''why do n''t you hasten to the wall?'' 8564 Are not your eyes dimmed with straining to the north, where all your thoughts must ever be? 8564 At Caffo some of the people on shore called out to the guide,Amadi Fatouma, how can you pass through our country without giving us anything?" |
| 8564 | He could not be made to comprehend the objects of the expedition, and for two hours reiterated the two questions,--"Are you come to trade?" |
| 8564 | He inquired,"What was their object in coming?" |
| 8564 | He replied,"I gave_ you_ victuals when you was hungry.--Have you forgot the man who brought you milk at Karrankalla? |
| 8564 | He was reading to them from an Arabic book; and inquired, with a smile, if I understood it? |
| 8564 | If they are asked, for what reason then do they offer up a prayer on the appearance of the new moon? |
| 8564 | If you speak of a good_ gun_; who made it? |
| 8564 | In battle, who spreads terror around him like the buffalo in his rage? |
| 8564 | Tahr, the chief, after strictly examining into the motive of his journey, said,"And have you been three years from your home? |
| 8564 | The Dooty asked Park, through Amadi,"Whether the white men intended to return to that place?" |
| 8564 | The troops sang the praises of Barca Gana, crying,"Who is in battle like the rolling of thunder? |
| 8564 | What is there extraordinary in a Christian''s death?'' |
| 8564 | and"Are you come to make war?" |
| 8564 | pour Thy full streams to the morning? |
| 8564 | shall we be so near them, and not eat them? |
| 8564 | which means,"How do you do?" |
| 8564 | who is this?" |
| 44649 | How do you know that you were a slave? 44649 And for the rest, what is the obvious meaning of this provision? 44649 And must he,--Burgers,--go down to posterity as a Dutchman who tried to forward the interests of the English party? 44649 And what is the consequence? 44649 Because our Lord clearly points him out to be the man, for why is there no other candidate? 44649 But, addressing those of other and older doctrines, I would ask what such an event would mean? 44649 Can it still be avoided? 44649 Could not the two great parties agree to rule Colonial affairs, and especially South African affairs, out of the party game? 44649 Did it not belong to our fathers and forefathers before us, long before the Boers came here? 44649 Did the country, then, belong to the Boers? 44649 Does he not know fear, feel pain, affection, hate, and gratitude? 44649 Doubtless the Annexation was wrong, since England disowns her acts; and may not that dream about the great South African Republic come true after all? 44649 If the Queen wishes to give them their land, why does she not give them back the Cape? |
| 44649 | In the same way I ask, Has a native no feelings or affections? |
| 44649 | Is it to be believed, too, that the Boers will stop to try and rule them? |
| 44649 | Is it well that two men(''amadoda- amabili'') should be made''iziula''( fools)? |
| 44649 | It is all very well to create a Resident with extensive powers; but how is he to enforce his decisions? |
| 44649 | Of course, there was a lady in it; what plot would be complete without? |
| 44649 | Of them might be aptly quoted the speech Shakespeare puts into Shylock''s mouth:"Hath not a Jew eyes? |
| 44649 | Put very briefly, what has happened in that time? |
| 44649 | R. H. Meanwhile, can nothing be done by direct treaty with the Portuguese? |
| 44649 | To give back the country, what would it mean? |
| 44649 | What does this mean to us? |
| 44649 | What is he to do if his awards are laughed at and made a mockery of, as they are and will be? |
| 44649 | What is now the remedy?" |
| 44649 | What warrant had we to refer their rights to the arbitration of Marshal MacMahon? |
| 44649 | What, for instance, is meant by the territory to the north of the Vaal River? |
| 44649 | When will this problem receive the attention it deserves at the hands of our Governments and of those over whom they rule? |
| 44649 | Who arranged it this way?" |
| 44649 | Who shall say that he is wrong? |
| 44649 | Why do you refuse to sign the paper? |
| 44649 | Why? |
| 44649 | Would it not be better if they looked back a little and tried to discover the causes of the war? |
| 44649 | does he not suffer when his parents are shot, or his children stolen, or when he is driven a wanderer from his home? |
| 44649 | hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?" |
| 16337 | Has it hit the gun? |
| 16337 | How will the war go? 16337 Imperial Light Horse?" |
| 16337 | Over where? |
| 16337 | What,said the weak voice-- the smile struggled to come out again, but dropped back even sooner than before--"have they got my finger too?" |
| 16337 | Where? |
| 16337 | 10._"Good morning,"banged four- point- seven;"have you used Long Tom?" |
| 16337 | And now what does it feel like to be bombarded? |
| 16337 | And this is more or less what he said:--"Information? |
| 16337 | And what was the good? |
| 16337 | And who''s fault''s that? |
| 16337 | Armoured train blown up, Mafeking cut off, Kimberley in danger, and General Butler-- what? |
| 16337 | But what matters it whether they lost one or one million? |
| 16337 | But what odds? |
| 16337 | But when that was done, what could they do? |
| 16337 | But where do you come from? |
| 16337 | Every Dutchman''s armed, and how many rifles will you find among the English? |
| 16337 | Has a man of that Army Corps left England? |
| 16337 | Has not the Government sent us a garrison? |
| 16337 | He turned with the beginning of a smile that would not finish:"Would you mind straightening out my arm?" |
| 16337 | Hour by hour-- would day never break? |
| 16337 | How could that be possible at this hour? |
| 16337 | How could we expect undergraduates to be moral if Mr Steevens did such things? |
| 16337 | How, indeed? |
| 16337 | I wonder if it is all real? |
| 16337 | I''ve left my property in the Free State, and odds are I shall lose every penny I''ve got-- what part? |
| 16337 | In the mean time the good lady of the refreshment- room says:"Dinner? |
| 16337 | In the morning they asked the Director of Military Intelligence what the shelling was; he replied,"What shelling?" |
| 16337 | In the rain- blurred light of the lantern-- could it not cease, that piercing drizzle to- night of all nights at least? |
| 16337 | Is there no stretcher?" |
| 16337 | It seems bitter, unjust, a quite superfluous dispensation; and then one''s eye falls on the next sentence--''What have we to show in return?'' |
| 16337 | Now how could we have confidence after all this in British Government? |
| 16337 | O Lord, how long? |
| 16337 | Only where? |
| 16337 | Six policemen, gentlemen, and the Boers are at Pieter''s farrm, and they''ll be here to- night and sjambok--_ Thin- faced man._ Where are the troops? |
| 16337 | That on their side-- and on ours? |
| 16337 | Then the third line and the second were lost on the brown, and the third-- where? |
| 16337 | They tould me there was a box of cigars here; do ye know, sorr, if the bhoys have shmoked them all?" |
| 16337 | WILL IT BE CIVIL WAR? |
| 16337 | WILL IT BE CIVIL WAR? |
| 16337 | Was it an apparition, or was that under the kummerbund a bit of kilt and an end of sporran? |
| 16337 | Well, then, if the Army Corps had left three months ago, would n''t the Boers have declared war three months ago too? |
| 16337 | Were we mad? |
| 16337 | What in the name of gunpowder is it all about? |
| 16337 | What next? |
| 16337 | What was I to do? |
| 16337 | What were they? |
| 16337 | What were we doing? |
| 16337 | Where are the volunteers? |
| 16337 | Where was I to go? |
| 16337 | Where were we? |
| 16337 | Where''s the Army Corps? |
| 16337 | Who goes there?" |
| 16337 | Who would not weep over the extinction of a career set in a promise so golden, in an accomplishment so rare and splendid? |
| 16337 | Why didna they send the Army Corps out three months ago? |
| 16337 | Why does our Government--_ Brown- faced man._ Are you accustomed to shoot? |
| 16337 | Would it never end? |
| 16337 | Would this cursed hill never end? |
| 16337 | _ Thick- set man._ And where are the British arms? |
| 16337 | _ Thin- faced man._ Any trouble in getting away? |
| 16337 | _ Thin- faced man._ But I want to know why the Boers are armed and we are n''t? |
| 16337 | all over-- and come here on to British soil, and what do I find? |
| 16337 | cried the staff officer with amazement in his voice;"what on earth for?" |
| 16337 | who are you fallin''up against? |
| 6886 | ''Where is my son?'' 6886 And if it blew fire?" |
| 6886 | Dost thou believe me to be a coward, 0 Pilgrim? |
| 6886 | He surely will not sail in a sea like this? |
| 6886 | If we drink coffee once,say they,"we shall want it again, and then where are we to get it?" |
| 6886 | ( 0 Captain) said he addressing me with a sneer,''where are you going to?--do you think the Bedoos will let you pass through their country? |
| 6886 | A favourite question to the missionaries was this,"Is your God white or black?" |
| 6886 | After much murmuring had subsided, Jami asked in a loud voice,"Who is thy protector?" |
| 6886 | But how explain to you the obstacles thrown in our way by African indolence, petty intrigue, and interminable suspicion? |
| 6886 | Each tribe and clan wished to rank first, none would be even second,--what was to be done? |
| 6886 | For half a generation we have been masters of Aden, filling Southern Arabia with our calicos and rupees-- what is the present state of affairs there? |
| 6886 | Nothing abashed, he hammered his mule with heel, and departed ejaculating,"What hath man but a single life? |
| 6886 | Old women on the journey are kenned by their sleeping I( 0 camel) can''st sniff the cock- boat and the sea? |
| 6886 | One remarked, with surly emphasis, that he had"seen no good and eaten no Bori[ 34] from that caravan, why should he aid it?" |
| 6886 | Report informed him, moreover, that we had given 600 dollars and various valuables to the Gerad Adan,--Why then had he been neglected? |
| 6886 | The ruffians still live at Juddah( Jubbah?) |
| 6886 | The same voice then demanded in angrier accents,"Of what tribe be ye?" |
| 6886 | When the moment for delivery is come, the head man inquires,"What is the news?" |
| 6886 | When we asked the applauding hearers what they had done for us, they rejoined by inquiring whose the land was? |
| 6886 | Why not come with me to Tajoorah? |
| 6886 | Yet is it not practically the case with ourselves? |
| 6886 | and he who throweth it away, what is he but a fool?" |
| 6886 | but why did you not buy me a mule instead of a horse?'' |
| 6886 | groaned the old man,"it is not that!--how can the boy be_ my boy_, I who have ever given instead of receiving stabs?" |
| 6886 | shall I remain When ye are gone before?'' |
| 36422 | Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, terrible as an army with banners? |
| 36422 | A jackal, of course,--but why was he yelping? |
| 36422 | Besides,--who knew but that when my supply of tobacco and dates ran out, my popularity might not wane? |
| 36422 | But how did Andries manage it? |
| 36422 | But what were those creatures darting here and there; anon rushing towards us over the livid surface of the sand? |
| 36422 | But why try to explain the inexplicable? |
| 36422 | Could it be that I strode along the same course whereon a few short hours ago I had paced hand in hand with gentle dreams? |
| 36422 | Could it be that in other regions of that earth, which there seemed so austere, so sinless and so ordered, men were struggling in warren- like cities? |
| 36422 | Did the author of a successful play advance to the proscenium and enjoy the tribute of plaudits paid to a successful playwright? |
| 36422 | Did the unanealed spirits of those long- dead creatures still people that haunted solitude which made day more terrifying than midnight? |
| 36422 | Dune, desert and star,--past, present and future-- what were they? |
| 36422 | George? |
| 36422 | Had the miracle happened? |
| 36422 | How was that? |
| 36422 | I brought a simple magnifying glass to bear on this,--and what did I see? |
| 36422 | If one could only have stripped the scales from them, what wonders might they not have seen? |
| 36422 | Is this flower a grail, bearing beauty too ineffable to die, through an arid aeon from one cycle of fertility to another? |
| 36422 | Of what was he dreaming? |
| 36422 | Of whom was it that Mr Hein reminded me? |
| 36422 | Shade-- coolness-- where were they to be found? |
| 36422 | Something approaching despair seized me; it was then nearly noon-- could I live through another six hours of such torture? |
| 36422 | Take for instance the term"gemsbok,"as applied to the oryx; what could be more inappropriate? |
| 36422 | The European revenged the Bushman on the Hottentot; who would revenge the Hottentot on the European? |
| 36422 | The morning was at seven; what would the sunshine be like at noon? |
| 36422 | The name is too obvious; why not call it what it really is, a"gazelle?" |
| 36422 | There,--on that dusty, gasping sun- scorched flat? |
| 36422 | Was it possible that that villain, with all his cunning, could have really believed that I was taking just an ordinary stroll? |
| 36422 | Was she married? |
| 36422 | We found the course fatiguing in the descent; what would it be when we came to retrace our steps? |
| 36422 | Were the landscapes of the mirage simulacra of those bounding an inland sea in which the dragon and the kraken lived and multiplied? |
| 36422 | What did these people take me for; did they suppose I lived on a ghoonya diet-- that I fed my caravan on ghoonya soup? |
| 36422 | What was his objective? |
| 36422 | What was that looming through the fog- fringe? |
| 36422 | What was that? |
| 36422 | What was the stately measure they were treading,--to what sphere- music did their gliding feet keep time? |
| 36422 | When he afterwards stood, begging his bread at the corner of the Heerengracht, Cape Town,--did he ever recall that scene? |
| 36422 | Where was her husband? |
| 36422 | Where were they? |
| 36422 | Where, to- day, is the voice of Truth to be heard? |
| 36422 | Whither was the awakening night- wind bearing us? |
| 36422 | Who and what was he, that unspeakable entity? |
| 36422 | Who could paint the terrific desolation of that home of chaos,--the towering peaks, the jutting ledges, the Cyclopean, bulging protuberances? |
| 36422 | Why had I done it? |
| 36422 | Why is it, I wonder, that during the forenoon springbuck in the desert appear to be white? |
| 36422 | Why should this anticipation have almost destroyed my physical pleasure? |
| 36422 | why should mind and body thus have been set at variance with each other as the sense of grateful warmth penetrated my shivering limbs? |
| 8417 | Then,quoth the energetic Jemadar,"were your gourds made for nothing? |
| 8417 | Where is he going? |
| 8417 | And why? |
| 8417 | Had he not fought battles by their side, of which his scars bore living testimony? |
| 8417 | He was ready to sink into the earth, and said to me,"Oh, why did you not whip me when I was in fault? |
| 8417 | How could jungle- folk like them know anything of the English and their intentions? |
| 8417 | How did Ptolemy hear of the two lakes which he considered were the sources of the Nile? |
| 8417 | In great glee at this I asked Snay, through Captain Burton, whether or not a river ran out of that lake? |
| 8417 | Sumunter and all the men alike said,"Of what good is your coming here, if you do not enjoy yourself? |
| 8417 | We all came on this journey to reap advantages from serving you, and now if you do n''t shoot, what may we expect?" |
| 8417 | What will be the consequences now if I return to Aden?" |
| 8417 | _ P._--"Then why did you not land it at Goriat, and give it me there, or why did you even buy it at all at Aden if it was of no use?" |
| 8417 | _ P._--"Where are the bales of cloth which by my account and Imam''s are missing?" |
| 8417 | _ P._--"Where are the twenty rupees I gave you for hiring donkeys, and which I particularly ordered should not be expended for any other purpose?" |
| 8417 | _ P._--"Why did you attempt to bribe Farhan to leave my service, and say nothing to me about it?" |
| 8417 | _ P._--"Why did you change my good rice for bad?" |
| 8417 | and,"Very well, I hope?") |
| 8417 | they said they had come a long way to see, and now must have a good long stare; for when was there ever a Mzungu here before? |
| 8417 | why have you come to this land, where there are no laws, or any respect for life? |
| 2519 | And has his present a cough too,remarked one of our party,"that it does not come to us? |
| 2519 | And how much did you get for yourself? |
| 2519 | Did you never,he was asked,"have a fit of travelling come over you; a desire to see other lands and people?" |
| 2519 | Do they wear such things in your country? |
| 2519 | Do you not see how he is trembling now? |
| 2519 | Is the cloth taken? |
| 2519 | Is this country good for cattle? |
| 2519 | Is this the way to come into a man''s village, without sending him word that you are coming? |
| 2519 | Ma,inquired a little girl,"why grind in the dark?" |
| 2519 | Shall we interfere? |
| 2519 | Then why did n''t you go yonder at first? |
| 2519 | Then you have seen white men before? |
| 2519 | There is a lake,said he,"for how could the white men know about it in a book if it did not exist?" |
| 2519 | Truly,he replied,"do you not see abundance of those grasses which the cattle love, and get fat upon?" |
| 2519 | Was he asleep? 2519 We are strangers,"answered Masakasa,"why do you not bring us some food?" |
| 2519 | What do I care for this country? |
| 2519 | What have you got there? |
| 2519 | What would these insects eat, if we did not pass this way? |
| 2519 | Why did you fire a gun, a little while ago? |
| 2519 | Why do the women wear these things? |
| 2519 | Why do you wash? |
| 2519 | You a chief, eh? 2519 You did not wish to die on the field, you wished to die at home, did you? |
| 2519 | _ We_ come from the interior,cried out a tall fellow, measuring some six feet four,"are_ we_ dwarfs? |
| 2519 | After a short silence he said to Masakasa,"You are with the white people, so why do you not tell them to give me a cloth?" |
| 2519 | Are you not ashamed of yourself? |
| 2519 | Asking the Makololo whence they came, Bonga rejoined,"Why do you come from my enemy to me? |
| 2519 | Can thick lips ever have been thought beautiful, and this mode of artificial enlargement resorted to in consequence? |
| 2519 | Could he not see the channel was somewhere else?" |
| 2519 | Do you not see Pangola?" |
| 2519 | For a second or two dusky forms appeared among the trees, and the Mazitu were asked, in their own tongue,"What do you want?" |
| 2519 | Having told him that we were hurrying on because the rains were near,"Are they near?" |
| 2519 | How are we to live?" |
| 2519 | How then can such a mass of iron float? |
| 2519 | Is this the fear and the dread of man, which the Almighty said to Noah was to be upon every beast of the field? |
| 2519 | Is this the way your chief treats strangers, receives their present, and sends them no food in return?" |
| 2519 | Masiko adding,"What do you say?" |
| 2519 | Men have beards and whiskers; women have none; and what kind of creature would a woman be without whiskers, and without the pelele? |
| 2519 | Need it be said we never let Tuba go without that meal again? |
| 2519 | Sacred to what deity would be this awful chasm and that dark grove, over which hovers an ever- abiding"pillar of cloud"? |
| 2519 | Sebituane, with all his veterans, could not withstand that enemy; and how could they be resisted, now that most of the brave warriors were dead? |
| 2519 | The first question put to us at the lake crossing- places, was,"Have you come to buy slaves?" |
| 2519 | The honey- guide is an extraordinary bird; how is it that every member of its family has learned that all men, white or black, are fond of honey? |
| 2519 | The people had brought a little corn with them; but they said,"What shall we eat when that is done? |
| 2519 | The women are as ugly as those on Lake Nyassa, for who can be handsome wearing the pelele, or upper- lip ring, of large dimensions? |
| 2519 | They hailed us from the bank in the evening with"Why do n''t you come and sleep onshore like other people?" |
| 2519 | Things for sale, or do you want to sell anything? |
| 2519 | To the question,"Would they work for Europeans?" |
| 2519 | What sort of man are you?" |
| 2519 | Why did he allow the boat to come there? |
| 2519 | You call yourself a chief, do you? |
| 2519 | You have not the heart of a chief; why do n''t you kill your own beef? |
| 2519 | are you?" |
| 2519 | eagerly inquired an old counsellor,"and are we to have plenty of rain this year?" |
| 2519 | have_ we_ horns on our heads?" |
| 2519 | of what is it made?" |
| 21661 | ''Av a''oss, guv''nor,''av a''oss? |
| 21661 | A very dark day, is it not? |
| 21661 | Ah,said he,"another earthquake, is it not?" |
| 21661 | And all your friends? |
| 21661 | And have you no high buildings either? |
| 21661 | Bully, is n''t it? |
| 21661 | Custos, quid de nocte? |
| 21661 | Did I not expect to meet a lot of savages? |
| 21661 | Hallo, you, with whom are you dining to- night? |
| 21661 | Have you no street cars like in New York? |
| 21661 | Is that one, there? |
| 21661 | My goodness, is n''t that Lord Roberts? |
| 21661 | Rest, long rest, is what we want, I suppose; but how can a fellow get rest working in a big newspaper office in this city? |
| 21661 | Was I not surprised to hear them speaking English? |
| 21661 | What did I think of the Boers? |
| 21661 | What is a company promoter? |
| 21661 | Why do n''t you get married? |
| 21661 | A man near me said to me,"Do you hear the steam escaping? |
| 21661 | A soldier galloped along and called out,"Hallo, Johnny, what are you doing here? |
| 21661 | As I write I am looking down from the thirtieth story of one of the highest, feeling as if I had been"set on the pinnacle of the Temple"( of Mammon?). |
| 21661 | But she said, laughing,"Is it not just like a curio- dealer''s shop?" |
| 21661 | How was it that no one seemed to be laughing and enjoying himself out of all the crowd? |
| 21661 | I wonder what that other city looked like from the pinnacle of whose temple He looked down on the other great cities that had their day? |
| 21661 | If they did not enjoy it, why did they do it? |

| 22323 | But under what flag? |
| 22323 | Did then the grievances of which the British residents in the Transvaal complained furnish such a basis? |
| 22323 | Did they vanish imperceptibly away, or did they fly to the coast, or were they massacred in a rising of their slaves? |
| 22323 | Had not the English many other lands to rule, without appropriating this one also? |
| 22323 | Has the suppression of the revolt given permanent security? |
| 22323 | How will the relations of two races so living together be adjusted? |
| 22323 | Is such evidence forthcoming? |
| 22323 | Is that language which should be used by a high officer of the Government? |
| 22323 | It raised a point often debated by moralists: What are the circumstances which justify insurrection? |
| 22323 | Or would they hoist the Union Jack and carry the country back under the British Crown? |
| 22323 | The great question, therefore, is, How will the gold- reefs turn out? |
| 22323 | These were hardships, but were they hardships such as could justify a recourse to arms? |
| 22323 | Was there not also, it may be asked, the suzerainty of Britain, and if so, did it not justify intervention? |
| 22323 | What are these probabilities? |
| 22323 | What is the future of the Kafirs likely to be? |
| 22323 | What more could a thrifty and cautious and conscientious country do? |
| 22323 | What purpose were these buildings meant to serve? |

| 22323 | What tongue did they speak? |

| 22323 | Whence came the builders? |
| 22323 | Where are such precepts to be found, and whence are the motives and emotions to be drawn which will give the new precepts a power to command the will? |

| 22323 | Why have they proved so troublesome? |

| 47449 | Would she introduce among the dim lights of the North the terrible practices of her people? |
| 47449 | Would the quiet village be scandalised by strange feasts and weird howlings? |
| 47449 | or what are the chances of the early exhaustion of the mining industry? |
| 49591 | By whom? |
| 49591 | Oh dear,I said to myself,"why do I not understand the language of the ndovas, so that I might know what the old fellow says to him? |
| 49591 | What are they? |
| 49591 | What do you mean, Rogala? |
| 49591 | Where are they? |
| 49591 | Where is the food? |
| 49591 | Why,said I,"do you think he is a cannibal?" |
| 49591 | But soon he said to himself:"How can the Oguizi be angry with me? |
| 49591 | But what was he doing? |
| 49591 | Ca n''t you see how thin I am?" |
| 49591 | Did he not say,''Take good care of Ndova and Andekko''?" |
| 49591 | Did he not shake hands with me before he left the camp? |
| 49591 | Do you see little stars round it?" |
| 49591 | Had I changed shape, and was I wandering in the forest as an elephant, antelope, leopard, or as a tiny insect? |
| 49591 | Had Ndova warned them not to come nearer? |
| 49591 | Had any one discovered our abode? |
| 49591 | Had he heard us? |
| 49591 | Had the Oguizi left him, and seen all he wanted to see in the big forest, and gone back to the"Land of the Oguizis"? |
| 49591 | Had they killed dear Andekko? |
| 49591 | Has he perhaps been devoured by a prowling leopard?" |
| 49591 | Have we not eaten together? |
| 49591 | He sent the following message to me: How could he dare to come before the great Oguizi, whom his forefathers had never seen? |
| 49591 | How was it that Andekko did not bark? |
| 49591 | I asked Rogala in a very low tone:"Have the nginas scented us?" |
| 49591 | I did not forget that he had sometimes saved me from hunger; then did not his capers, queer gestures, and comical grimaces amuse me many times? |
| 49591 | I had"Bulldog,"--not that I wanted to use it, but I thought it was prudent to have my most powerful weapon with me;"for, who knows?" |
| 49591 | I whispered to Rogala:"What can be the cause of Ndova''s fright and anger? |
| 49591 | If so, what would Rotembo say when he returned without me? |
| 49591 | Suddenly the villagers heard a voice outside of the stockade asking:"Is the Oguizi here?" |
| 49591 | The first one would say:"Hello, is that you, Paul? |
| 49591 | The sounds he uttered seemed to mean,"Have you brought me no berries, fruits, or nuts?" |
| 49591 | Then my friend asked:"Paul, which piece do you like best?" |
| 49591 | Unfortunately I could not see what Ndova was doing inside; was he also trying to break his cage and go to the monkeys? |
| 49591 | Was he killed also? |
| 49591 | Was he not our companion in the great forest, one of us indeed? |
| 49591 | Was the inside of our fortress full of enemies waiting for Rogala, Shinshooko, Alapai, and me? |
| 49591 | We must capture him, for who knows but he may have discovered our camp?" |
| 49591 | We returned home with our spoil, and the following afternoon I said to Rogala:"Where is Andekko? |
| 49591 | Were they lost, or had they been killed by gorillas or elephants? |
| 49591 | What was the cause of this sudden change in their conduct? |
| 49591 | What were they doing there? |
| 49591 | Wo n''t you dine with me to- day? |
| 49591 | Would you take a knife and kill our friend Ndova, who has been so often the cause of our getting food, thus preventing us from starving?" |
| 49591 | You do not mean to say that they wish you to be ill and die? |
| 15131 | How long? |
| 15131 | That''s a most extraordinary thing,thinks I, deeply interested,"what land whale of these plains blows sand up in that fashion?" |
| 15131 | What are they shooting at? |
| 15131 | Where are you to- day? |
| 15131 | Will the Guides kindly...? |
| 15131 | A pleasant morning for a ride, is it not?" |
| 15131 | All this is very sad and lugubrious, is it not? |
| 15131 | And the Guards? |
| 15131 | And what must have been the feelings of the poor Boers? |
| 15131 | Are these the prisoners that we played at dice for? |
| 15131 | Are thieving, and lying, and looting, and bestial talk very bad things? |
| 15131 | Are those kopjes out of range? |
| 15131 | Are you going to burn down every house, and turn the whole country into a desert? |
| 15131 | Are you less of these things? |
| 15131 | Are you wide- awake, sharp, and shrewd, plucky; can you lead? |
| 15131 | But what a revelation, is it not? |
| 15131 | But what was the reason of this latest? |
| 15131 | But where does their main strength lie? |
| 15131 | Can anything in that hell down there be left alive? |
| 15131 | Can there be so blessed a place? |
| 15131 | Can there be such a land? |
| 15131 | Can you conceive a more disgusting termination to a morning stroll? |
| 15131 | Do n''t you? |
| 15131 | Do you know Colonials? |
| 15131 | Do you know the emancipated feeling yourself? |
| 15131 | Have we been through Belmont and Graspan and Modder River and Magersfontein for nothing? |
| 15131 | Here is a bit of raw humanity for you to study, a sample of the old Anglo- Saxon breed; what do you make of it? |
| 15131 | Here''s another-- First Tommy:"And the bullets was comin''that thick----"Second Tommy:"Well, but''adn''t you got no ant''ills?" |
| 15131 | Horse is it, or man? |
| 15131 | How are you? |
| 15131 | How far do you mean to go in this? |
| 15131 | How many of this little brotherhood under the mud wall, idly I wonder, will ever see English meadows again? |
| 15131 | How often has this happened to the Colonials? |
| 15131 | If the plot existed, why did n''t the plot work? |
| 15131 | If this scheme for a general rising existed, why is not the Colony in arms now? |
| 15131 | In a grey light I rouse myself to look out across the wet misty flat, hearing some one say,"Who''s that? |
| 15131 | Is n''t there? |
| 15131 | It is generally considered rather a coup in war, I believe, to take the enemy''s capital, is n''t it? |
| 15131 | Let''s all lie and steal; what does it signify? |
| 15131 | Of what use is even courage itself if it goes with impatience and a flash in the pan endurance? |
| 15131 | Shall I ever submit to that varlet again? |
| 15131 | The question is, how are we to collar them? |
| 15131 | Then what about your bedding? |
| 15131 | Then where was French? |
| 15131 | These are roughish traits, are they not? |
| 15131 | Was ever such luck? |
| 15131 | We have always said,"Why, with all these armies in the field, can not we surround them, or catch them, or deal a decisive blow of some sort?" |
| 15131 | We have come along well, have we not? |
| 15131 | What do you think the answer to that is? |
| 15131 | What force is that?" |
| 15131 | What is it to be a child of the veldt, and never to have known any other life except the life of these plains? |
| 15131 | What manner of life, think you, is in yonder ditch? |
| 15131 | What news can you expect in such times? |
| 15131 | What sterner test can a nation be put to than this? |
| 15131 | What the devil''s the use of the bravest man with half- a- dozen bullets through him? |
| 15131 | What were they there for? |
| 15131 | What would you give for a peep at the show; to see the types and hear the talk? |
| 15131 | What would you think of giving Puckie a rifle and sending him out to fight? |
| 15131 | Who decides these things? |
| 15131 | Who goes there?" |
| 15131 | Why on earth did Broadwood camp the wrong side of that ditch? |
| 15131 | Why should naval guns be so vastly superior to land ones? |
| 15131 | Will Methuen decide the point, or the war correspondents, or will they hold a cabinet council about it? |
| 15131 | Would any one kindly tell him why the Guards were not somewhere else? |
| 15131 | You know a hawk''s hover? |
| 15131 | what the dash are you running for?" |
| 15131 | where are their guns? |
| 45442 | Am I really and truly ugly? |
| 45442 | And does your wife understand German too? |
| 45442 | And why, pray? |
| 45442 | Are these for sale? |
| 45442 | But why should I get up? |
| 45442 | Have some cheese? |
| 45442 | How else would you keep the lice from feeding on its little scalp? |
| 45442 | How scientist? |
| 45442 | Is there anything wrong with the chickens? |
| 45442 | Other way? |
| 45442 | What time is it? 45442 Who knows?" |
| 45442 | Who made it? |
| 45442 | Who made it? |
| 45442 | Why not? |
| 45442 | And after all, what is the philosophy of these savages regarding marriage but a primitive form of eugenics? |
| 45442 | But suppose one big wave come roll up, sweep baby away? |
| 45442 | Could we use a doll; and if so, could a sufficiently large and lifelike doll be had in Lome? |
| 45442 | Did I put palm oil on it? |
| 45442 | Did all white women''s hair grow straight like mine? |
| 45442 | Does the cook spoil or steal your rations? |
| 45442 | Have I slept, or have I been awake all the time, and only imagined the sleep that came not? |
| 45442 | It was me he addressed this time, and his words were as follows:"Come, little lady; are you not going to get up?" |
| 45442 | Muckè simply replied,"Is there? |
| 45442 | My treasured boxes? |
| 45442 | Said Schomburgk:"Where do you come from?" |
| 45442 | Shall I ever be in a position to redeem my promise, I wonder? |
| 45442 | Shall I ever forget it? |
| 45442 | Shall I like her? |
| 45442 | Shall we get on together? |
| 45442 | The good God made you so, did he not? |
| 45442 | Was it all my own? |
| 45442 | What had become of them?" |
| 45442 | What is she like? |
| 45442 | What made it so shiny? |
| 45442 | What then? |
| 45442 | Whatever shall we do? |
| 45442 | Where are we?" |
| 45442 | Why do you think such things?" |
| 45442 | Would it be possible to paint a black baby white without injury to the infant? |
| 45442 | Would the native sell? |
| 45442 | so this boy has served under a woman, has he? |
| 16160 | And now are you not saying,''Remain in Byblos?'' 16160 Are you not the man who came to me every day saying,"Get out of my harbour?" |
| 16160 | Art not become a lord of frankincense? 16160 Hast thou not much incense( here, then)?" |
| 16160 | What is a greater thing,says Sinuhe in the tale of his adventures in Asia,"than that I should be buried in the land in which I was born?" |
| 16160 | Whatever is the matter with you? |
| 16160 | Who brought thee, who brought thee, little one? |
| 16160 | And what is it all for? |
| 16160 | And where is the fine ship which Nesubanebded would have given you, and where is its picked Syrian crew? |
| 16160 | And why should the digger refrain from appropriating the objects which his pick reveals? |
| 16160 | Are we to imagine that because there has been a respite for a hundred years the precedent of six thousand years has now to be disregarded? |
| 16160 | Are we to suppose that these continuous incursions into Asia have suddenly come to an end? |
| 16160 | At length he said to me,''On what business have you come here?'' |
| 16160 | But is he blind that he sees not the great gulf fixed between the ways of the east and those of his accustomed west? |
| 16160 | But the point is ethical; and what has the Theban to do with ethics? |
| 16160 | But why were they stray? |
| 16160 | But why, then, are not the expenses of such a journey met by the various museums? |
| 16160 | Can it be supposed that she would then have desired to abandon the reconquered territory? |
| 16160 | Can we wonder, then, that this form of adventure is so often met with in Egypt, the land of hidden treasure? |
| 16160 | Do statesmen and diplomatists, then, listen to him who can unravel for them the policies of the Past? |
| 16160 | Does not the archæologist perform a service to his contemporaries by searching out such rhymes and delving for more? |
| 16160 | Doth one give water to a bird on the eve, when it is to be slain on the morrow?" |
| 16160 | He said to me,''How long is it from now since you left the abode of Amon?'' |
| 16160 | His religious revolution had ruined Egypt, and had failed: did he, one wonders, find consolation in the sunshine and amidst the flowers? |
| 16160 | How, then, shall those like you judge others, while there is one among you committing a crime against justice?''" |
| 16160 | In a word, does the scarab mean history to them, the history of a period, of a dynasty, of a craft? |
| 16160 | Is there now no longer any chance of her expanding in other directions should her hands become free? |
| 16160 | Is this money spent, then, to amuse the tourist in the land, or simply to fulfil obligations to ethical susceptibilities? |
| 16160 | One almost expected him to rise, like the dead knights of Kildare in the Irish legend, and to ask,"Is it time?" |
| 16160 | Sir from one year ago I work in the Santruple(?) |
| 16160 | The prince then said,"Look now, if what you say is true, where is the writing of Amon which should be in your hand? |
| 16160 | They have come into the harbour, and how long shall I be left forsaken here? |
| 16160 | This was repeated to the queen, who replied,"Indeed!--what is this that you say?" |
| 16160 | To the gambler who could be more enticing than the archæologist who has seen kings play at dice for their kingdoms? |
| 16160 | To the gourmet who could more appeal than the archæologist who has made abundant acquaintance with the forgotten dishes of the East? |
| 16160 | Was it not a Sicilian who stole it, and no thief of ours? |
| 16160 | What remains, then, of the objections? |
| 16160 | What should we do without the''Vicar of Wakefield,''the''Compleat Angler,''''Pepys''Diary,''and all the rest of the ancient books? |
| 16160 | What will my angry mother say? |
| 16160 | What would Yuletide be without the olden times to bolster it? |
| 16160 | Where is the letter of the High Priest of Amon which should be in your hand?" |
| 16160 | Who could better arrest the attention of the coxcomb than the archæologist who has knowledge of silks and scents now lost to the living world? |
| 16160 | Who has not desired the hidden wealth of the late Captain Kidd, or coveted the lost treasure of the Incas? |
| 16160 | Whom would they have sought the god from then?--and you, whom would they have sought you from then?'' |
| 16160 | Why is it, one asks, that archæology is a thing so misunderstood? |
| 16160 | Why were they ever cut from the walls of the Egyptian monuments? |
| 16160 | are not these the years of thy life upon earth? |
| 16160 | he asked again,"Who brought thee to this island of the Great Green Sea, whereof the( under) half is waves?" |
| 16460 | Armstrong,said he,"what''s the matter? |
| 16460 | What do you mean? |
| 16460 | ''And what was your experience?'' |
| 16460 | ''Boers?'' |

| 44456 | At length the sun came forth, the darkness was lifted up; but what awful horror now held the people? |

| 44456 | Guessed you not that this was my grave, and that it was I who held you firmly to the ground, so that not even all your companions could raise you? |
| 44456 | Had Siloane seen him? |

| 46705 | Here is an example: A man asked confidingly of another,"Will you lend me fifty piastres?" |

| 39971 | And how could they maintain that position without driving the English out of Egypt? |

| 39971 | Has the occupation failed in any respect? |
| 39971 | Have not all the rulers of Egypt sought the conquest of Syria and the Hejaz? |
| 39971 | How came it, then, that the French not only did not despoil them, but paid and paid well for what they required? |
| 39971 | How can they benefit us without knowing or understanding what are our hopes, our wishes, our aspirations, our prejudices, our predilections? |
| 39971 | How could such men as these fall down and worship the golden calf of the French Republic? |
| 39971 | How could the French, whose farthest horizon was no further off than the short limits of"the average duration of life,"comprehend the Egyptian? |

| 39971 | If the blind thus lead the blind whither can their progress tend? |
| 39971 | If you poison us, do we not die?" |
| 39971 | If, the Egyptians ask, the English are really anxious to benefit us, how is it that they thus hold us at arm''s length? |
| 39971 | Is it a retribution that for the most part they go to swell the ranks of the anti- English party? |
| 39971 | Once the die was cast and the supremacy of the English settled, he was no longer tossed on the horns of the dilemma, Which of two evils is the least? |

| 39971 | Strange, for, after all,"how can man die better than facing fearful odds, for the ashes of his fathers, and the temples of their gods?" |
| 39971 | Surely these Englishmen knew how to influence their countrymen; and how, then, could the Egyptians do better than imitate their methods and manner? |
| 39971 | The Turkish Vizier with his army was sure to come to their relief soon, and perhaps the English, for were not the English the enemies of the French? |
| 39971 | The one question the Egyptians were asking themselves was not, What shall we do if the war breaks out? |
| 39971 | Think you that the French people of that time would have hailed the innovations forced upon them with rapturous delight? |

| 39971 | Was not this the object of the English? |

| 39971 | What result could such a system bring about other than the corruption of the whole service? |
| 39971 | What wonder if Bonaparte, as the histories tell us, was"furious"or"enraged"? |
| 39971 | Why should the English be in such a hurry to pick a quarrel with the Sultan if they had no ulterior aims in view? |
| 39971 | Why should they pay when they could if they would help themselves freely? |
| 39971 | Why worry and fret about these reforms? |
| 39971 | Why, then, toil and moil for mere vanities that we must leave behind us? |
| 39971 | Would it be human in them to forget that to the present day they are sufferers from the ills their immediate ancestors had to bear? |
| 39971 | Would they be considered"unreasonable"if they protested? |
| 39971 | Would they be regarded as"ungrateful"because they did not thank the invaders for the financial benefit they were conferring on the country? |
| 39971 | but, How can war be prevented? |
| 39971 | if not, why did they offer terms? |
| 39971 | or to the flogging of a seaman"round the fleet"that was so often carried out long after? |
| 39971 | sacked and pillaged, burned and wrecked the churches, shops, and houses of Catholics and of those who favoured the cause of Catholic emancipation? |
| 46483 | Afraid, Mutla? 46483 Ah, Koos, is it you, my boy? |
| 46483 | And I''ll promise to ride home with him on Ferus, afterwards, and we''ll-- oh, what is that? |
| 46483 | And it was called the''Star of Africa,''and presented to King Edward, was n''t it, Daddy? |
| 46483 | And was Rhodes buried, like Livingstone, in Westminster Abbey? |
| 46483 | But is the Kalahari Desert as bad as people say? |
| 46483 | Dirk? 46483 Dirk? |
| 46483 | In search of the little English boy? 46483 Koos, did you ever go hunting?" |
| 46483 | Listen, George, do n''t you like to hear it? |
| 46483 | Master afraid? |
| 46483 | Mutla, what about the sheep- shearing? 46483 Petrus, what is this we are coming to? |
| 46483 | Shall we always have to fly the''Union Jack''in the Transvaal, Grandfather? 46483 The portfolio, Grandfather? |
| 46483 | These mines must be as rich as the Klondike, Aunt Kotie? |
| 46483 | Was it Uncle Petrus Jacobus, Grandfather? 46483 Which shall it be, children? |
| 46483 | Why did n''t the Boers rebel? |
| 46483 | Why, Lieutenant Wortley, should the Zulus threaten your lives? |
| 46483 | You, Grandfather? |
| 46483 | And do you know what''Transvaal''means? |
| 46483 | And tell me all about his great victories of Majuba Hill and Laing''s Neck, wo n''t you? |
| 46483 | And, as for his own great trip over the new"Cape to Cairo"road? |
| 46483 | Are we not both well armed?" |
| 46483 | Are you ready to start now?" |
| 46483 | But I think Petrus likes sheep- farming best, do n''t you, Koos?" |
| 46483 | But how dare we get him away from Dirk?" |
| 46483 | But if you do, and Uncle Abraham will let me, ca n''t I go along to see London? |
| 46483 | Ca n''t we, Uncle?" |
| 46483 | Could n''t you stop them?" |
| 46483 | Did the Voor- trekkers come straight to the Transvaal with all their covered ox- wagons and everything?" |
| 46483 | Do you think so?" |
| 46483 | How would you like to go with us there, Koos?" |
| 46483 | Is Uncle Petrus''picture there? |
| 46483 | Is it all over?" |
| 46483 | Is n''t that right, Koos?" |
| 46483 | Is that so?" |
| 46483 | Oh, Grandfather, may I see his picture? |
| 46483 | Petrus handed the youngster a sixpence and asked:"Dirk? |
| 46483 | President Kruger?" |
| 46483 | See him?" |
| 46483 | See those black clouds coming? |
| 46483 | Shall we?" |
| 46483 | Snakes, too, Koos?" |
| 46483 | Suppose we go over towards the Kafir kraals, George? |
| 46483 | The one in your old iron chest?" |
| 46483 | The one who was made President next after Kruger, and who became a famous general? |
| 46483 | The one who was made commander- in- chief of all the Boer forces, and gained the victories of Majuba Hill and Laing''s Neck, against the British? |
| 46483 | The uncle whose name I bear? |
| 46483 | The''Story of the Shining Princess''or''Nya- Nya Bulembu,''''The Fairy Frog,''or''The Beauty and the Beast''?" |
| 46483 | Want Dirk?" |
| 46483 | Were you with him there long?" |
| 46483 | What can it all be about?" |
| 46483 | When we go next week, am I not to stay a few days, and visit Aunt Kotie afterwards?" |
| 46483 | Where are you? |
| 46483 | Where are you?" |
| 46483 | Where''s Dirk?" |
| 46483 | Who do you suppose that bit of a boy was, Koos?" |
| 46483 | Why should we be afraid? |
| 46483 | Will you come?" |
| 46483 | You''ve never seen the way Kafirs live, have you, George? |
| 46483 | Your mealie- fields?" |
| 46483 | and were your dangers over when you''d crossed that terrible Karroo?" |
| 26490 | Did he ask for money to carry out this object[_ i.e._ to stop the war on the assurance that the Boers wanted nothing more than their independence]? |
| 26490 | Is it really necessary for you to go? 26490 Is it the English only who have the right to make conditions?" |
| 26490 | Is there no opportunity,he said,[61]"of bringing about a_ rapprochement_ between us, in which the Free State might play the part of honest broker? |
| 26490 | Read the history of South Africa, and ask yourselves: Has the British Government been a blessing or a curse to this sub- continent? 26490 The heroic warrior and commander over a portion of the civilised(?) |
| 26490 | What is going to happen under responsible government? 26490 Where are the native chiefs of Bechuanaland now, and who owns their land? |
| 26490 | Where is Waterboer to- day? 26490 ''Then you may remember the passage where theytip the black spot"to Long John Silver?'' |
| 26490 | A wasted and enslaved South Africa, or-- a Free, United South Africa? |
| 26490 | All forms will be duly observed; as why should they not be? |
| 26490 | And how can we expect those not their own kith and kin to be willing to give up liberty for their sakes?" |
| 26490 | And to this communication was added the question:"Do you desire to make any observations?" |
| 26490 | And what assistance can we expect from Afrikanders in the Cape Colony?... |
| 26490 | And what of the Dutch in the Cape Colony? |
| 26490 | And who will be destroyed if it comes to a collision? |
| 26490 | And why? |
| 26490 | But what could the High Commissioner do? |
| 26490 | But what is to be thought of the Englishmen who, both in the Cape Colony and in England, took part in this"conciliation"movement? |
| 26490 | CHAPTER IV UNDER WHICH FLAG? |
| 26490 | Can any one desire that it should? |
| 26490 | Could not the man who foresaw these dangers have prevented them? |
| 26490 | Had he a reasonable expectation of carrying out the plan as Rhodes conceived it, in spite of the change in the position of affairs at Johannesburg? |
| 26490 | Had he any reason to believe that Rhodes desired him to force the insurrection in spite of his telegrams to the contrary? |
| 26490 | History may well ask, On what was this claim based? |
| 26490 | How then shall we succeed in winter, and with horses so weak that they can only go_ op- een- stap_? |
| 26490 | If success could be won in Canada, Australia and New Zealand, in India and in Egypt, why failure in South Africa? |
| 26490 | If the Cabinet did so reason to themselves, what English statesman could have"cast the first stone"at them? |
| 26490 | If these are not the methods of barbarism, what methods did barbarism employ?... |
| 26490 | In response to the question,"It was never in your contemplation that Mr. Krüger would declare war?" |
| 26490 | In such a shameful, in fact, inhuman, manner were these men treated; and for what reason? |
| 26490 | In the schools, in the Church, and"in our family life above all,"it must be considered a"disgrace to speak English.... Who will join the war? |
| 26490 | In what respect do you think that we can be of more use than before?" |
| 26490 | Mr. Reitz, he tells us,[182]"suddenly turned round and said,''Have you read_ Treasure Island_? |
| 26490 | Must we surrender everything, and disown our fathers? |
| 26490 | Our nation can not, dare not, say with Cain,''Am I my brother''s keeper?'' |
| 26490 | That being so, they ask, Can you blame us for hesitating to adopt what was at the most, as we understood it, the opinion of a majority? |
| 26490 | The question is, how can these two policies be harmonised? |
| 26490 | Was Mr. Chamberlain right? |
| 26490 | Were they, then, the comrades or the dupes of the Afrikander nationalists? |
| 26490 | What are we to do with them? |
| 26490 | What did Mr. John Redmond say? |
| 26490 | What do the Boers and their leaders think when they read the newspapers written in England which are full of these things? |
| 26490 | What has the nation done to deserve extinction?" |
| 26490 | What is it to be? |
| 26490 | What is the future? |
| 26490 | What is the good of your loyalty, he said in effect to the Cape Dutch, if you refuse to help us in the one thing needful? |
| 26490 | What reason could there be for any disloyalty? |
| 26490 | What was his real standpoint, and what was his relationship to Lord Milner? |
| 26490 | What was the position in South Africa? |
| 26490 | What was the position of Mr. Schreiner? |
| 26490 | What were we to do? |
| 26490 | What will be the contents of those minutes, I wonder? |
| 26490 | Where lies Lobengula in his unknown grave to- day, and what fillibusters and fortune- hunters are possessors of his country? |
| 26490 | Why should I not? |
| 26490 | With these words fresh in his memory, Mr. Chamberlain continued:"Is Mr. Morley a Liberal? |
| 26490 | Would you be so good as to send word by the driver of the cab which waits?..." |
| 26490 | Would your interests be benefited thereby? |
| 26490 | [ 165] President Steyn''s reply was,''Can you give me a guarantee that no troops will come to the border?'' |
| 26490 | or has not the time yet arrived to prevent this civilised nation, or to punish them for their atrocities? |
| 36324 | After all,said I to myself,"what am I?" |
| 36324 | Am I tipsy with plantain wine? 36324 Do I see aright when I see that his hair is long, and as black as that of the mondi? |
| 36324 | He then rose, and, accompanied by the people, returned to the village; and when Redjioua saw him he said,''How is it that Akenda Mbani has returned? 36324 How could King Olenda run off, when his great friend Quengueza sent him a moguizi?" |
| 36324 | How do you know,said another,"that the leopards asked the one without a tail''What is the matter?'' |
| 36324 | How is it,said I to the people,"that I have never seen a white gorilla?" |
| 36324 | What kind of people live in those mountains? |
| 36324 | Where are we? |
| 36324 | Where? |
| 36324 | Why did you not, Etia, kill the snake at once? |
| 36324 | After our breakfast of nuts and berries, the question naturally arose, Shall we go back to the strange village? |
| 36324 | Again I shouted,"Querlaouen, where are you?" |
| 36324 | Am I not the Man of the Woods? |
| 36324 | Am I not the master here? |
| 36324 | And, pointing to my clothes,"Why do you wear garments?" |
| 36324 | Are we going to be buried alive in the forest?" |
| 36324 | Are you ready to hear it?" |
| 36324 | As soon as I saw him, I cried out,"Where is friend Querlaouen?" |
| 36324 | But then, run away-- where? |
| 36324 | But what kind of an eagle? |
| 36324 | By the way, should I say bag? |
| 36324 | Do I not roam where I please?''" |
| 36324 | Do n''t you see bees round there? |
| 36324 | Do tell me, Okendjo, if I see aright, or is it a hallucination of my mind? |
| 36324 | Do tell me-- tell me quick, Okendjo, am I drunk?" |
| 36324 | Finally I fired a gun, and then another, and soon I heard the voices of my men shouting"Moguizi, where are you? |
| 36324 | Have I not before me the spirit who makes the guns, the beads, the brass rods, and the copper rings? |
| 36324 | Have you ever thought, when looking at the web of a spider, what an admirable piece of work it is, and how this thread is manufactured? |
| 36324 | He placed the leopard at my feet, saying,"Did I not tell you I had a fetich to kill leopards?" |
| 36324 | He would look at the fires before him, then at us, and then give a howl, as if was saying,"What have I before me?" |
| 36324 | How could our small shot reach the top of that tree, which was covered with red berries, upon which the monkeys were quietly feeding? |
| 36324 | How is it-- Mpomo was well a few days ago, and now Mpomo is dead?" |
| 36324 | I exclaimed;"and why have you cut off the head of your brother?" |
| 36324 | I look, and what do I see?--what do I see yonder up in the sky? |
| 36324 | I questioned Querlaouen,"Did Arondo ever marry?" |
| 36324 | I shouted with all the power of my voice,"You are not going to kill the beautiful and good Okandaga-- the pride and beauty of the village? |
| 36324 | I shouted, in English,"what does all this mean? |
| 36324 | IS IT TRUE? |
| 36324 | Ilogo, we ask thee, What shall we do to cure the king? |
| 36324 | Moguizi, where are you?" |
| 36324 | Moguizi, where are you?" |
| 36324 | My good friend Ranpano said,"Why do you wish to go back into the forest? |
| 36324 | One day I said to Olenda,"Olenda, have you ever been to the Nkoumou- Nabouali?" |
| 36324 | Remandji also said,"Did I not tell you I had a man who had a big fetich to kill leopards?" |
| 36324 | Remandji then said,"What becomes of all the people we sell, and that go down the river for you to take away? |
| 36324 | Shall the king die? |
| 36324 | She did not in the least mind what he said, but swam off down stream like a buoy, shouting continually,"Where is my bunch of plantains? |
| 36324 | Should we sleep in that forlorn- looking village or not? |
| 36324 | The king also sent word that I should be carried; for why should the moguizi walk if he is tired? |
| 36324 | The leopard had seen us, and was looking at us, as if to say,"Why do you disturb me in my sleep?" |
| 36324 | The leopard ran away to his companions, who, when they saw him, asked,''What is the matter?'' |
| 36324 | The people, not seeing him with me, asked after their king, Quengueza, crying out,"Our king went with you, why have you not brought him back? |
| 36324 | The question that arose in my mind was,"How did the king happen to be in the woods?" |
| 36324 | The village was deserted, darkness was coming on, and the question now was, What were we going to do? |
| 36324 | Then Gambo interrupted the story by saying,"The king knew very well that Akenda Mbani could not go twice to the same spot; why did he ask him to go?" |
| 36324 | Then the question arose, Did the birds follow the monkeys, or the monkeys the birds? |
| 36324 | Then what should I say to Quengueza? |
| 36324 | They looked at me as if they would have said,"What''s the matter with Chally, he looks so excited?" |
| 36324 | Was Querlaouen dead? |
| 36324 | Was he a white gorilla or not? |
| 36324 | Was my great and beloved African friend to die? |
| 36324 | Were they to spear me? |
| 36324 | Were they yellow wild boars, or black ones? |
| 36324 | What am I in this great forest?" |
| 36324 | What can these voices be, those of friends or enemies? |
| 36324 | What could all this mean? |
| 36324 | What could have brought these huge boulders on those mountains? |
| 36324 | What did it all mean? |
| 36324 | What did you see in the bush? |
| 36324 | What had he died for? |
| 36324 | What had that immense crowd come for? |
| 36324 | What will become of our elephants?" |
| 36324 | What would the Ashiras say if one of their number should be carried away by a wild beast? |
| 36324 | What would the people say? |
| 36324 | When I became composed again, I asked,"How did he die?" |
| 36324 | When he went with you he was well, why has he been sick?" |
| 36324 | When one of the Ashiras said to me, pointing to the mountain,"You see that mountain, Moguizi?" |
| 36324 | Where is the giant that could show such prodigious feet? |
| 36324 | Who knows? |
| 36324 | You are not dead, are you?" |
| 36324 | my friend Querlaouen, what has become of you? |
| 36324 | said the gorilla,''how do the woods belong to thee? |
| 36324 | shouted one man,"and then you would have had the ncheri for your dinner?" |
| 36324 | that his face is of a color I never saw? |
| 36324 | what did I see? |
| 36324 | what do I see? |
| 36324 | what do I see? |
| 36324 | when I see that his legs are black, and that he has no toes( I had boots on)? |
| 38870 | A rat,I said;"what do you mean?" |
| 38870 | Are n''t they, my friend? |
| 38870 | Do n''t you, my young friend? 38870 Do you get anything else but fever down there?" |
| 38870 | Do you remember poor C.? |
| 38870 | Had he brought me a present of yams? |
| 38870 | Have you got any tobacco? |
| 38870 | If he said that of Kruboys,say the old coasters,"how can he have known or understood anything?" |
| 38870 | Look here,said an anxious inquirer;"why are some of these rocks named after the Company''s ships?" |
| 38870 | Suppose you come, you no fit to talk? |
| 38870 | Well,I said,"how about the people amongst whom you now are? |
| 38870 | Well,I said,"is it a river of any size? |
| 38870 | Well,said I,"would you go if you could? |
| 38870 | What am I to do, sir? |
| 38870 | What do you think of that, doctor? |
| 38870 | What is the matter? |
| 38870 | What is the matter? |
| 38870 | Where do you call--? |
| 38870 | ''What, is he dead?'' |
| 38870 | Arrived at the gangway, his majesty, in the most natural way imaginable, notices for the first time(?) |
| 38870 | As I used to be sitting on deck every one who came across me would say,"Wet, is n''t it? |
| 38870 | As an instance of the form which native justice(?) |
| 38870 | At first sight it might be said,"Where is the link between self- preservation and missionary effort, and how comes it to work against the missions?" |
| 38870 | Besides this, what would his position be when there, if he could not get any white men there to trade with? |
| 38870 | But why call this humbug? |
| 38870 | For one Englishman killed by the West Indies West Africa will want ten; for every £1,000, £20,000--and all for what? |
| 38870 | Had I not seen how strong and long a shadow, be it of man or tree or of the great mountain itself, was in the early morning time? |
| 38870 | Have we quite run out of constructive ability in Statecraft? |
| 38870 | How can you fly, I should like to know, unless you have a jumping off place? |
| 38870 | How is it the''Yoruba Rock''and the''Gambia Rock?'' |
| 38870 | I had survived Sierra Leone, I had enjoyed it; why, therefore, not survive other places, and enjoy them? |
| 38870 | I have heard of one(?) |
| 38870 | I trust, My Friend, you remembered it, and killed the fatted calf on his return?" |
| 38870 | If this is so in our oldest colony, what reason have we to believe that in the others we are safer? |
| 38870 | If you were to- morrow to kill every native there, what use would the country be to you? |
| 38870 | Is it not possible to formulate some new plan to mark the age of Victoria? |
| 38870 | It is no use saying, Look at our Indian system, why not just introduce that into West Africa? |
| 38870 | It''s the way with most of them, is n''t it?" |
| 38870 | Might not the ancestors of this people have brought the art of working in brass with them from the far distant land of Canaan? |
| 38870 | Might not these brazen serpents be a remnant of some tradition handed down from the time of Moses? |
| 38870 | Now why must each of you decide Your heart and purse to open wide? |
| 38870 | Now, here we come to a very interesting question: What is witchcraft in itself? |
| 38870 | Now, you will say, Wherefore should the general public in England interest itself in this matter? |
| 38870 | One of the Agents would look at the Captain during a meal- time, and say,"You remember J., Captain?" |
| 38870 | Or, in other words, will you give me all the support I need if I undertake to go?" |
| 38870 | She is continually saying:"English possessions on that Coast pay, why should not mine?" |
| 38870 | The Ju- Ju priest was clothed(?) |
| 38870 | The cook was summoned, and asked by Her Britannic Majesty''s representative"Where that smell came from?" |
| 38870 | The question was--"Had I any proof that this man was one of the thieves, or in any way connected with the affair?" |
| 38870 | Then, as for the domestic finance, why expect officers and lawyers, doctors and gentlemen from clubland to manage fiscal matters? |
| 38870 | Was it because you thought some one else could do it better? |
| 38870 | We meet in this school, however, with a serious problem-- namely, what does become of dead chiefs? |
| 38870 | Well, you see this is the wet season on the Coast"--or,"Damp, is n''t it? |
| 38870 | What are the causes that lead these people to work against the missions? |
| 38870 | What did all this wonderful catch bring about? |
| 38870 | What did you catch it for?" |
| 38870 | What does it matter to him whether the section of the human race he strives to save be black, white, or yellow? |
| 38870 | What else remains? |
| 38870 | When he returned his captain asked him, saying,"Pills, are they all mad on board that vessel or merely drunk as usual?" |
| 38870 | Why did n''t he fly? |
| 38870 | Without slaves, wives, and funds, how can the dead soul you care for speak with the weight of testimony of men as to its resting place or position? |
| 38870 | Would it not be a good place to open up a new business?" |
| 38870 | Yet how many of these earnest people could one guarantee to have completely cast out all their belief in Ju- Juism? |
| 38870 | You be big man, suppose pusson sick?" |
| 38870 | You fit for come?" |
| 38870 | You remember D----?" |
| 38870 | ["]: added closing quote p. 42 You remember D----? |

| 38870 | she''ll say;"no rubber? |

| 14299 | ''Who speaks about a boundary line?'' |

| 14299 | Anarchy and lawlessness, or good government which tends to peace and prosperity? |

| 14299 | As an old Abolitionist, who has been engaged for thirty years in a war against slavery in another form, may I be allowed to cite a parallel? |
| 14299 | But why did they dislike British Government? |
| 14299 | But_ what_ Peace? |
| 14299 | Can we suppose that these stations can be maintained if we suffer the road to fall within the limits of the Transvaal? |
| 14299 | Dear Sir Bartle, you know the material we have; it is good, but who is to guide? |
| 14299 | Did it not belong to our fathers and forefathers before us, long before the Boers came here? |
| 14299 | Did the country, then, belong to the Boers? |
| 14299 | Did this influential editor represent a large number of English people? |
| 14299 | Does he not know fear, feel pain, affection, hate, and gratitude? |
| 14299 | Have you not heard of the treaties which we have been able to make with the natives and with the Portuguese?'' |
| 14299 | He could never keep his temper on that subject, My host abruptly demanded,''But do n''t you think that Frere should have been hanged?'' |
| 14299 | How could there, under these circumstances, be confidence any longer? |
| 14299 | How far has South Africa been governed on these principles? |
| 14299 | How is she best to pursue it? |
| 14299 | I said,''these countries do not belong to the Transvaal;''to which they replied,''Do you know what our intentions are? |
| 14299 | I will ask you to consider what would have been the best advice that we could have given at that time to the Government at Washington? |
| 14299 | If both pray, must He refuse one? |
| 14299 | If the Queen wishes to give them their land, why does she not give them back the Cape?" |
| 14299 | In regard to the assertion that"England coveted the gold of the Transvaal,"what is here meant by"England?" |
| 14299 | In the same way, I ask, has a native no feelings or affections? |
| 14299 | Is it possible that Boer theologians, who quote Scripture with so much readiness, have never read the following? |
| 14299 | Is it true, Mr. Mackenzie, that those blacks were kind to our people who fled to them from the Transvaal, and that they there protected them?'' |
| 14299 | Is n''t it what everybody is saying here? |
| 14299 | Is not honesty one of the cardinal virtues which we should expect to find amongst small nations, if nowhere else? |
| 14299 | Is therefore God for one nation and not for another? |
| 14299 | Is this true?'' |
| 14299 | It is the Peace of God which we pray for? |
| 14299 | Let the Government adopt, with mathematical rigour if you like, an opposition to annexation, and what does it effect? |
| 14299 | May He not be for one, and for the other too? |
| 14299 | My friends have sometimes asked me, what then is the ground of my hope for the future of our country and all over whom our Queen reigns? |
| 14299 | No appeal should be permitted, for may it not lead to a quashing of the conviction? |
| 14299 | Now what are the articles to which the Boer Government here objects, and has continued to object? |
| 14299 | Of them might be aptly quoted the speech Shakespeare puts into Shylock''s mouth:''Hath not a Jew eyes? |
| 14299 | Shall we place legal restrictions on marriage, or on the birth of children, or prescribe that no family shall exceed a certain number? |
| 14299 | Summary justice(?) |
| 14299 | Their lives have been disciplined under native rule, and now that the white man is breaking up that rule, what is he going to give as a substitute? |
| 14299 | There was a hum of approval, with a sharp enquiry from Montsioa,--did he really mean to go himself? |
| 14299 | They appealed to our Government, and we did nothing; there came again and again despairing appeals to England, and how were they met? |
| 14299 | To loose the bands of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free, And that ye break every yoke?" |
| 14299 | Was Dr. Dale ready to run the risk of a fresh war in South Africa? |
| 14299 | Was his policy to be changed, and how? |
| 14299 | We have not heard that you are sick; then why have you to leave us? |
| 14299 | Were they in their own minds out of South Africa, and resolved never to return? |
| 14299 | What about the speeches still more recently made in this country in support of it?'' |
| 14299 | What are our Sons to do? |
| 14299 | What are the facts? |
| 14299 | What can the chief of a small State of 250,000 inhabitants do with such a large amount of Secret funds? |
| 14299 | What changes does it involve? |
| 14299 | What has the Boer done to lift these people? |
| 14299 | What have they done? |
| 14299 | What new forces and inspiration will it need? |
| 14299 | What shall I say if you do not return?" |
| 14299 | Where are our cattle?'' |
| 14299 | Who shall chastise them? |
| 14299 | Why is this? |
| 14299 | Why should we do so when the Boers do n''t?'' |
| 14299 | Will Britain flinch or falter in her world- wide task? |
| 14299 | With what result? |

| 14299 | yes, certainty, why not?'' |
| 41373 | Did ye not hear it? 41373 Is there no virtue? |
| 41373 | What is it you want? 41373 Which of them pitied us? |
| 41373 | With what right to speak? 41373 ''You bad, wicked man, why do n''t rebel?'' 41373 ''You bad, wicked man, why do n''t you know?'' 41373 A continuance of self- government? 41373 And I answered him,_ Ye saat le Basha_, is Egypt then a woman who has borne but eight sons and then been barren?" |
| 41373 | And I answered him,''_ Ya saat el Basha_, is Egypt then a woman who has borne but eight sons and then become barren?'' |
| 41373 | And what would you put in its place? |
| 41373 | And what would you put in its place? |

| 41373 | But how to say it? |
| 41373 | But how to say it? |
| 41373 | But how to say it? |
| 41373 | But is it not open to doubt whether according to international law or prescription a man can be defended by foreign counsel? |
| 41373 | But to what ears? |
| 41373 | Can he have come to grief?... |
| 41373 | Can this ordering of troops have been the consequence? |
| 41373 | Could Arabi have not stopped the whole thing? |
| 41373 | Could things have ended worse if he had said everything? |
| 41373 | Could you not form a Ministry with Sultan Pasha as Prime Minister? |
| 41373 | Foreign rule less strenuous than now? |
| 41373 | He is still living and employed in the Mékhemeh(?). |
| 41373 | He said, almost pathetically,"What can we do? |
| 41373 | His God of gods? |
| 41373 | His only answer was"Will they give up the claim of the Chamber to vote the Budget?" |
| 41373 | Holds he the Queen''s commission?" |
| 41373 | How shall I move a world by lamentation-- A world which heeded not a Nation''s tears? |
| 41373 | How shall I speak of them, the priests of Baal, The men who sowed the wind for their ill ends? |
| 41373 | How shall I tell the mystery of guile-- The fraud that fought-- the treason that disbanded-- The gold that slew the children of the Nile? |
| 41373 | I said,''I should vote only on one consideration, a £ 5 note,''_ Cardinal_:''You mean you will not vote at all?'' |
| 41373 | In high places? |
| 41373 | In the street? |
| 41373 | Let them prove it,-- What matter? |

| 41373 | Thinkest thou, England, God can be outwitted For ever thus by him who sells and buys? |
| 41373 | This question will probobly soon have better could be got?... |
| 41373 | What better could be got?... |
| 41373 | What chance was yours in this ignoble strife? |

| 41373 | What could I say more exactly suited? |
| 41373 | What could I say?" |
| 41373 | What did they build but tombs for Liberty? |
| 41373 | What does any patriot suppose would have resulted from Arabi''s compliance? |
| 41373 | What hast thou bought? |

| 41373 | Why? |
| 41373 | With Gladstone on our side, what more was there to fear? |
| 41373 | Would not the position be intolerable?... |
| 41373 | Your strategy of love too soon outplotted, What was there left you of your dreams but this? |
| 41373 | made one thus feel like a child? |
| 41373 | made one thus feel like a child?" |
| 41373 | to change the Ministry? |
| 41373 | to change the Ministry? |
| 3233 | Are the other camels better or worse than that? |
| 3233 | Are they all dead? |
| 3233 | But,I replied,"why should you disturb the bones of those whom you have already buried, and expose them on the outskirts of the town?" |
| 3233 | Do you not know that there is a spirit within you different from flesh? 3233 Do you see no difference in good and bad actions?" |
| 3233 | Do you think man is like a beast, that dies and is ended? |
| 3233 | Do you think that a good man and a bad must share the same fate, and alike die, and end? |
| 3233 | Do you use whistles in your country? |
| 3233 | Does he sleep still? |
| 3233 | FOOD FOR THE VULTURES? |
| 3233 | Have you no belief in a future existence after death? 3233 Have you no idea of the existence of spirits superior to either man or beast? |
| 3233 | How do you bring it? 3233 I give them rain if they do n''t give me goats? |
| 3233 | Is not a man superior in sense to an ox? 3233 Mahomet, you rascal, why do n''t you answer?" |
| 3233 | Well,I replied,"you are the rain- maker; why do n''t you give your people rain?" |
| 3233 | What do you think of the English ladies? 3233 Where are you going?" |
| 3233 | Where does fire live? 3233 Where shall we go?" |
| 3233 | Who am I? |
| 3233 | Who can travel without a guide? 3233 Who wishes to go to Mecca?" |
| 3233 | Who wishes to remit money to his family, as I will send it and deduct it from his wages? |
| 3233 | Why has he brought so many men with him? |
| 3233 | Would the lady like to have a girrit( baboon)? |
| 3233 | Are they not lovely?" |
| 3233 | Are you a rain- maker?" |
| 3233 | As he came rapidly round toward us flourishing his coorbatch, I called to him,"Is that a nice hygeen for the Sit( lady), EL Baggar? |
| 3233 | But where was home? |
| 3233 | Can a dead man get out of his grave, unless we dig him out?" |
| 3233 | Can you explain what we frequently see at night when lost in the wilderness? |
| 3233 | Choose your course frankly, like a man-- friend or enemy?" |
| 3233 | Commoro( laughing)--"Well, how do YOU account for it? |
| 3233 | Commoro--"Where will the spirit live?" |
| 3233 | Commoro.--"Yes; what else can they do? |
| 3233 | Could they be Speke and Grant? |
| 3233 | Do you know, they have positively threatened to kill me unless I bring the rain? |
| 3233 | Do you not dream and wander in thought to distant places in your sleep? |
| 3233 | Eh, Mahomet?" |
| 3233 | Had I overrated the importance of the discovery? |
| 3233 | Had I really come from the Nile Sources? |
| 3233 | Has he not a mind to direct his actions?" |
| 3233 | Has not that fire, that lies harmless and unseen in the sticks, the power to consume the whole country? |
| 3233 | Have you no fear of evil except from bodily causes?" |
| 3233 | He asked,"What''s the use of the ammunition if you wo n''t give me your rifle?" |
| 3233 | He suddenly altered his tone, and asked,"Have you any rain in your country?" |
| 3233 | How can that be? |
| 3233 | How can they help dying? |
| 3233 | How do you account for this?" |
| 3233 | How many ages had the rains and the stream been at work to scoop out from the flat tableland this deep and broad valley? |
| 3233 | I begged him not to sing;"my wife had a headache-- I disliked the fiddle-- could He play anything else instead?" |
| 3233 | I even said to Speke,"Does not one leaf of the laurel remain for me?" |
| 3233 | I recalled to recollection the practical question of Commoro, the chief of Latooka,"Suppose you get to the great lake, what will you do with it? |
| 3233 | I said,"do you not see that the natives have no SHIELDS with them, but merely lances? |
| 3233 | I said:"Ibrahim, why should we be enemies in the midst of this hostile country? |
| 3233 | If you find that the large river does flow from it, what then?" |
| 3233 | If you leave no belief in a future state, WHY SHOULD A MAN BE GOOD? |
| 3233 | Is it very easy?" |
| 3233 | Is not some idea expressed in the act of exhuming the bones after the flesh is decayed?" |
| 3233 | It was your own fault; why did you not agree to fight Fowooka? |
| 3233 | My men were almost green with awe when I asked them solemnly,"Where are the men who deserted from me?" |
| 3233 | That which was music to our ears was discord to those of Mahomet, who with terror in his face came to us and exclaimed,"Master, what''s that? |
| 3233 | Then,"If you are not Kamrasi, pray who are you?" |
| 3233 | Was it possible that it was so near, and that to- morrow we could say,"The work is accomplished"? |
| 3233 | Was she to die? |
| 3233 | Was so terrible a sacrifice to be the result of my selfish exile? |
| 3233 | We believe in the same God; why should we quarrel in this land of heathens, who believe in no God? |
| 3233 | We had succeeded-- and what was the result? |
| 3233 | What do you think of the weather to- day?" |
| 3233 | What for master and the missus come to this bad country? |
| 3233 | What river- fiend answered to the summons? |
| 3233 | What was the reply? |
| 3233 | What were our feelings at that moment? |
| 3233 | What will be the good of it? |
| 3233 | Where was El Baggar? |
| 3233 | Where was the first lion? |
| 3233 | Where were all the crowded inhabitants of the pool? |
| 3233 | Where were my spare guns? |
| 3233 | Which is the stronger, the small stick that first PRODUCES the fire, or the fire itself? |
| 3233 | Why should he not be bad, if he can prosper by wickedness?" |
| 3233 | Would a boat be waiting for us with supplies and letters? |
| 3233 | Would they commence an attack without their shields? |
| 3233 | You want ivory; I am a simple traveller; why should we clash? |
| 3233 | and had I wasted some of the best years of my life to obtain a shadow? |
| 3233 | by rubbing two sticks together? |
| 3233 | eh, Richarn? |
| 3233 | said Taher Noor,"a couple of dollars? |
| 3233 | why he had not followed the Nile to the Luta N''zige lake, and from the lake to Gondokoro? |
| 12101 | An annual report of what? |
| 12101 | Are they admitted as citizens? |
| 12101 | Are we men? |
| 12101 | But,continued Nott,"the solemn question here arises-- in what condition will this momentous change place us? |
| 12101 | How forswear? |
| 12101 | I have plowed, and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me-- and a''n''t I a woman? 12101 Just what is the light in which we are to regard the slaves?" |
| 12101 | What can a man do to help such a suffering mass of humanity? |
| 12101 | What of the darker world that watches? 12101 What, Peggy,"asked Price,"were you going to set the town on fire?" |
| 12101 | What, is it about Mr. Hogg''s goods? |
| 12101 | ( Boston?) |
| 12101 | After a while the slave raised the important question: Had not his residence outside of a slave state made him a free man? |
| 12101 | And what was the Negro Problem? |
| 12101 | And which is the world to choose, Christ or Mammon? |
| 12101 | Approaching the cabin of a free Negro they asked,"Is this Southampton County?" |
| 12101 | Are they admitted as property? |
| 12101 | Asked in court by Gray if he still believed in the providential nature of his mission, he asked,"Was not Christ crucified?" |
| 12101 | But whar did Christ come from?" |
| 12101 | But, sir, where did the Greeks and the Romans and the Jews get it? |
| 12101 | Could a bishop hold a slave? |
| 12101 | Could any one use a young woman who wanted to work for her board? |
| 12101 | Could our worst enemies or the worst enemies of republics, wish us a severer judgment?" |
| 12101 | Could the Church really countenance slavery? |
| 12101 | Dey talks''bout dis ting in de head-- what dis dey call it?" |
| 12101 | Do we not owe it to civilized man to stand in the breach and stay the uplifted arm?... |
| 12101 | Have we any other master but Jesus Christ alone? |
| 12101 | How could one know that wakeful and sagacious enemies without would not discover the vulnerable point and use it for the country''s overthrow? |
| 12101 | How many families of your town would take in a Negro man or woman, teach them, bear with them, and seek to make them Christians? |
| 12101 | How many merchants would take Adolph, if I wanted to make him a clerk; or mechanics, if I wanted to teach him a trade? |
| 12101 | How shall we measure such a life? |
| 12101 | I am aware that many object to the severity of my language; but is there not cause for severity? |
| 12101 | I could work as much and eat as much as a man, when I could get it, and bear de lash as well-- and a''n''t I a woman? |
| 12101 | If I wanted to put Jane and Rosa to school, how many schools are there in the Northern states that would take them in?... |
| 12101 | If my cup wo n''t hold but a pint and yourn holds a quart, would n''t ye be mean not to let me have my little half- measure full?" |
| 12101 | In any case the answer to the first question at once suggested another, What shall we do with the Negro? |
| 12101 | In the first place, what is he worth, and especially what is he worth in honest Southern opinion? |
| 12101 | In the same month George W. Cable answered affirmatively and with emphasis the question,"Does the Negro pay for his education?" |
| 12101 | In this life was it also possible for the children of Africa to have a permanent and an honorable place? |
| 12101 | Is He not their master as well as ours? |
| 12101 | Is it finally to be an agency for the upbuilding of the nation, or simply one of the forces that retard? |
| 12101 | Is she to abide by the principles that guided her in 1776, or simply seize her share of the booty? |
| 12101 | Is there not land enough in America, or''corn enough in Egypt''? |
| 12101 | It was said after the Civil War that he would not work except under compulsion; just how had he come to be regarded in the industry of the New South? |
| 12101 | Maughan''s The Republic of Liberia, London( 1920? |
| 12101 | Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? |
| 12101 | Query: Was it genuine statesmanship that permitted these people to feel that they must leave the South? |
| 12101 | Raising her voice she repeated,"Whar did Christ come from? |
| 12101 | Said St. Clair to Ophelia:"If we emancipate, are you willing to educate? |
| 12101 | Shall we permit that blow to fall? |
| 12101 | So did the king of Egypt doubt the very existence of God, saying,''Who is the Lord, that I should let Israel go?'' |
| 12101 | Somerset objected to this and in so doing raised the important legal question, Did a slave by being brought to England become free? |
| 12101 | The question then arises: Just what is the relation that he is finally to sustain to other workingmen? |
| 12101 | This is a duty: the whites do not trade with you; why should you give them your patronage? |
| 12101 | Was he not made by the Creator to sit in the shade, and make the blacks work without remuneration for their services, to support him and his family? |
| 12101 | What is its real promise in American life? |
| 12101 | What right, then, have we to obey and call any man master but Himself? |
| 12101 | What the Negro in the last analysis wonders is: Who was right, Livingstone or Rhodes? |
| 12101 | What though before us lies the open grave? |
| 12101 | What will my children say if I deprive them of so much estate? |
| 12101 | What''s dat got to do with women''s rights or niggers''rights? |
| 12101 | What, then, is this dark world thinking? |
| 12101 | When despairing African fugitives do the same thing-- it is-- what_ is_ it?" |
| 12101 | When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? |
| 12101 | Who can weigh love and hope and service, and the joy of answered prayer? |
| 12101 | Who could believe that such a tremendous physical force would remain forever spell- bound and quiescent? |
| 12101 | Why should they send us into a far country to die? |
| 12101 | Will you despair, seeing Truth, and Justice, and Mercy, and God, and Christ, and the Holy Ghost, are on your side? |
| 12101 | Would King accordingly enter into conference with the English officials with reference to disposing of any Negroes who might be sent? |
| 12101 | _ But is there no civil law to protect me_? |
| 12101 | he asked;"then why are they not admitted on an equality with white citizens? |
| 12101 | my brothers, are we men?... |
| 12101 | or naked, and clothed thee? |
| 12101 | or thirsty, and gave thee drink? |
| 12101 | then why is not other property admitted into the computation?" |
| 12667 | And can you fight with two hundred Brass people? |
| 12667 | And what are you come to see? |
| 12667 | And where do they lead to? |
| 12667 | God forbid,exclaimed he,"but how can you compare our faiths? |
| 12667 | How many of you Bonny people are there? |
| 12667 | Is he such a man? |
| 12667 | Rais Khaleel,said he,"what would your sultan do to Min Ali, if he was to go to England? |
| 12667 | What are Protestants? |
| 12667 | What do you do then for servants? |
| 12667 | What do you think of it? |
| 12667 | What does he do,said he,"when one of his wives has a child? |
| 12667 | What is his name? |
| 12667 | What the d--- l have I to do with the widow? |
| 12667 | What: has the great bashaw caffre friends? |
| 12667 | Where is your Jew servant? |
| 12667 | Why did you not talk to him,said the servant,"about the dangers of the road?" |
| 12667 | Why,as Richard Lander says,"did they entrap us in this manner? |
| 12667 | Would you force us to become Christians? |
| 12667 | You are a Christian, Abdallah? |
| 12667 | & c., and smiling, asked with great naivete, whether I had not learned, during the last two months, a little more Arabic? |
| 12667 | ''If I can not afford to keep myself,''said the man,''how can I feed horses?'' |
| 12667 | ( Captain Lyon''s travelling name,) How is he? |
| 12667 | ( How do you do?) |
| 12667 | Among the negro slaves at Wadinoon was a woman, who said she came from a place called Kanno,( Cano?) |
| 12667 | Another asked him if his horse was sick? |
| 12667 | Are not your eyes dimmed with straining to the north, where all your thoughts must ever be? |
| 12667 | At last, however, came the fatal question,--"Is he moslem?" |
| 12667 | At this the governor smiled, and again asked,"would you Christians allow us to come and see your country?" |

| 12667 | But my brother says you will never become Moslem-- won''t you, to please Abdi Zeleel''s sister? |
| 12667 | But, said Clapperton, on leaving him, it is necessary for me to visit those places, or else how can the English get here? |
| 12667 | Do you believe in such things?" |
| 12667 | Else why this double dealing, this deceit, this chicanery, these hollow professions? |
| 12667 | Have you forgotten the man who brought you milk at Karrankalla? |
| 12667 | He first denied that he had any, notwithstanding the bowls were scarcely ten paces behind him, and then asked, what they had got to pay for it? |
| 12667 | He was well acquainted with the major''s travelling name, for the moment he entered, he said laughing,"How do you do, Abdallah? |
| 12667 | How great will be their astonishment?" |
| 12667 | How have you passed the heat of the day? |
| 12667 | How is your health? |

| 12667 | These operations they accompanied with loud praises of Barca Gana, calling out,"Who is in battle like the rolling of thunder? |
| 12667 | They delivered their letter from the bashaw, and after he had read it, he inquired,"What was our object in coming?" |
| 12667 | They salute one another by laying the hand on the breast, making a bow, and inquiring,_ Kona lafia? |
| 12667 | To the great surprise of Major Denham, striking his breast, he exclaimed,"I am Hateeta, Are you a countryman of Said? |
| 12667 | Was this the tract of the Romans merely into the interior, or did they come to the valley for dates? |
| 12667 | What would our neighbours, what would our friends-- our foes say to this? |
| 12667 | When in the midst of them, perceiving tears falling fast down his cheeks, they asked him why he wept so? |
| 12667 | Where shall Fezzan now look for her protector? |
| 12667 | Who could not understand the meaning of all this? |
| 12667 | Who shall now be safe? |
| 12667 | Who shall now be safe?" |
| 12667 | Who will succeed him when he dies?" |
| 12667 | Why did you not inquire of him about what you wish for? |
| 12667 | Why have they led us about as though we had been blind, only to place us in the very lap of what they imagine to be danger? |
| 12667 | Will you come and see me at Hadyja on your return?" |
| 12667 | Would he kill me, or would he keep me there a prisoner? |
| 12667 | You people of the gadado,( or atego,& c.) why do you not hasten to the wall?" |
| 12667 | You seem very melancholy; do you want money?'' |

| 12667 | _ Salem Ali Frederick!_ How many wives have they?" |

| 12667 | and are you come to make war? |
| 12667 | but the God made us all, though not all handsome like Mussulmans, so who could tell?" |
| 12667 | do you call the name of God dirty water?" |
| 12667 | exclaimed Min Ali,"I should take him something; but what could I give him? |
| 12667 | he exclaimed,"and do you ever pray?" |

| 4943 | A European Power was on the Upper Nile: which? |
| 4943 | A further question immediately arose: Should the railway to Abu Hamed start from Korosko or from Wady Halfa? |
| 4943 | A great, though perhaps academic, issue remains: Was the war justified by wisdom and by right? |
| 4943 | And should these few devoted men impede a regiment? |

| 4943 | Is there another revolt in the west? |
| 4943 | It turned, however, on one point: Was the Desert Railway a possibility? |

| 52444 | Why not keep Sangala''s woman on board? |
| 52444 | Yes,said I;"but when he gets old his face is black; and do you not see his nose, how flat it is, like yours?" |
| 52444 | ***** What do you think he did next? |
| 52444 | An animal-- a man- monkey-- with no hair on the top of his head? |
| 52444 | And what kind of skin do you think it was? |
| 52444 | But how? |
| 52444 | But what could the shark do against the powerful saw of his antagonist? |
| 52444 | But where was I to sit down? |
| 52444 | But why were they all there dancing and screeching around the idol? |
| 52444 | Could it be a leopard, or what? |
| 52444 | Did I not tell you the truth?" |
| 52444 | Do his eyes penetrate the grass which we can not see through? |
| 52444 | Had they smelt us? |
| 52444 | Have I not killed the elephant?" |
| 52444 | Have you ever heard of such a horrible superstition? |
| 52444 | Have you known what hunger is-- real craving hunger? |
| 52444 | He thought his costume was just the thing, and he looked loftily around, as if to say,"Am I not a fine- looking fellow?" |
| 52444 | How could one approach it without being seen? |
| 52444 | How was I to bring him to America? |
| 52444 | How was I to find my way in that vast African forest? |
| 52444 | I rubbed my eyes in a hurry-- what could be the matter? |
| 52444 | I said to Obindji,"Why do you ring your kendo?" |
| 52444 | I said,"Fasiko, you have one wife, what do you care for a leopard''s tail?" |
| 52444 | I was going farther and farther from the sea; if the savages were to leave me and run away in the forest, what would become of me? |
| 52444 | I wonder if you boys would like it? |
| 52444 | If so, is he ready to spring? |
| 52444 | If you had been in my place, boys, would you not have felt the same? |
| 52444 | In what was I to wash my face? |
| 52444 | Is he coming towards us-- crouching like a cat on the ground, and ready to spring upon us when near enough? |
| 52444 | It was a long way off, and how was I to get there through the dense jungle? |
| 52444 | Of course, you know what the equator is? |
| 52444 | Okabi, pointing to the head triumphantly, exclaimed,"See, Chaillie, is not the animal bald- headed? |
| 52444 | One might have asked himself,"Are they hippopotami or not?" |
| 52444 | Ought we not to be thankful that we were born in a civilized country? |
| 52444 | Quengueza was greatly delighted, and exclaimed,"What kind of ntangani( white man) is this? |
| 52444 | Ranpano kept whispering in my ears,"Why did you not keep Sangala''s wife on board?" |
| 52444 | Shall I be able to tame him? |
| 52444 | The thought passed through my mind: Is he watching us? |
| 52444 | Want chop?" |
| 52444 | Was I afraid? |
| 52444 | We wanted very much to kill it, for we had not killed anything yet; and what were we to have for our dinner and supper? |
| 52444 | We watched the hippopotamus intently, looking at each other as if to say,"Are you ready?" |
| 52444 | What could be the matter? |
| 52444 | What could it be? |
| 52444 | What could it be? |
| 52444 | What could it be? |

| 52444 | What were we to do but to kill him? |
| 52444 | What were we to do? |
| 52444 | What would prevent him from doing so if he chose? |
| 52444 | When he thought I must be hungry, he said,"Want chop? |
| 52444 | Where had he gone? |
| 52444 | Who among us does not relish a good dinner, I should like to know? |
| 52444 | Would they come near enough for me to get a shot at them? |
| 52444 | Would you believe it? |
| 52444 | Would you have left the gorillas alone? |
| 52444 | Would you have left the snakes alone? |
| 52444 | Would you have let the elephants go unmolested in the forest? |
| 52444 | Would you like to know how we captured turtles? |
| 52444 | Would you not have liked to make a meal of Aboko or of Chaillie?" |
| 52444 | You would like to know, I dare say, what these Africans mean by a wizard, or a witch? |
| 52444 | a bald- headed ape? |
| 52444 | had we made a noise that excited their suspicions? |
| 52444 | what is to become of us, if our guns miss fire, or if we only wound the huge beast? |
| 48598 | ''For what reason?'' 48598 ''Have you not heard,''said the old man,''what I have sworn to do with anyone making that request? |
| 48598 | ''What do you want?'' 48598 And are they on the Hargeisa road?" |
| 48598 | And did they come quietly, Constable? |
| 48598 | And if it is so dark that you can not see the stars? |
| 48598 | And is this your child? |
| 48598 | And pray what do you know about their legs, Buralli? |
| 48598 | Buralli,I said,"had you been in the accused''s place what would you have done?" |
| 48598 | Did you expect me to get anything out of that? |
| 48598 | Do these women live in the same quarter of the town? |
| 48598 | Do you mean to tell me,I exclaimed in astonishment,"that you still dive?" |
| 48598 | Do you wish to return or will you follow me, Mahomed? 48598 How? |
| 48598 | Is the boat ready, Buralli? |
| 48598 | It is peaceful here? |
| 48598 | No, Sahib, who can stop a Somal woman? 48598 Now what did he want, this wise old man, but to lay hands on his dagger? |
| 48598 | She is a----"Will you be quiet? |
| 48598 | Then whatever on earth has happened to your eye? |
| 48598 | Well now you have killed him, what about the compensation, dia, that is coming to me for his death? |
| 48598 | Well, madam,said I to the one in the witness- box,"what is your trouble?" |
| 48598 | Well, now you are here at the Mem- Sahib''s orders, do you think you can do anything? 48598 Were you fighting in France, Monsieur?" |
| 48598 | What are you doing here, Mahomed? 48598 What else do you think I could do?" |
| 48598 | Who are coming with me? |
| 48598 | Why, do n''t you wish him to go? |
| 48598 | Women as well as men? |
| 48598 | Yes, what about it? |
| 48598 | You are collecting bêche- de- mer and shark fins? |
| 48598 | You say there are four Sahibs? |
| 48598 | And had he seen anything of four Sahibs? |
| 48598 | And is this the Hargeisa road? |
| 48598 | And why ca n''t they tell me that is the reason? |
| 48598 | And, given half a chance, if you are a good- looking young fellow, she does not mind showing her face; and what harm does it do her or anyone else? |
| 48598 | But how to pay for it? |
| 48598 | But what about this miserable mule?" |
| 48598 | Can you catch one of these bullets in your hand? |
| 48598 | Can you go through that hill?" |
| 48598 | Describe the men I met at that party? |
| 48598 | Did she not now refuse to return to him, prepared as he was to forgive her? |
| 48598 | Did they know who had piled up these stones? |
| 48598 | Do you mind?" |
| 48598 | Does it matter, excepting to me, what they said? |
| 48598 | For what? |
| 48598 | Had I any suggestions to make? |
| 48598 | Had she not left her house to go visiting without his permission? |
| 48598 | Had there been good rain, and was the grazing good out his way? |
| 48598 | Has he not been the cause of her losing two silver rupees? |
| 48598 | Have you heard any news?" |
| 48598 | Have you really finished?" |
| 48598 | He concluded this piece of wisdom by asking the French Hakim,"What about the fight at Wakderia?" |
| 48598 | I have not a rupee in the house: will you lend me four, please?" |
| 48598 | I wonder if they are? |
| 48598 | Is it true?" |
| 48598 | Is she caught in the rope or just holding on? |
| 48598 | Is there ever a man here with whom I can have a chat?'' |
| 48598 | More pay? |
| 48598 | Now the Yibir had a son who came to the Sheikh and said,"What''s this I hear about you and my father? |
| 48598 | Now what do you think of that, sir?" |
| 48598 | Oh, why do they beat that wretched drum at this hour? |
| 48598 | Said I to myself,"I wonder who pays the Yibir his fee for that makran-- baby''s father or I? |
| 48598 | Said Sheikh Ishaak to the Yibir,"Is this true, all I hear concerning you, that there is nothing you can not do?" |
| 48598 | Then the French Hakim sent for Adan and asked,"What''s this story you have been telling concerning these piratical Arabs?" |
| 48598 | Ushered, did I say? |
| 48598 | Was the political situation quite satisfactory? |
| 48598 | What a joy is running water, and how many people know it? |
| 48598 | What is it?" |
| 48598 | What is their history? |
| 48598 | What sort of things? |
| 48598 | Where? |
| 48598 | Where?" |
| 48598 | Who dares to say that our commerce has not its spice of romance? |
| 48598 | Why should my man be flopping about like a dying duck in a thunderstorm, whilst these other fellows were still putting their backs into it? |
| 48598 | Why? |
| 48598 | Will I accept the sheep the Akil has brought as a present? |
| 48598 | Will not your honour grant permission?" |
| 48598 | for what? |
| 37712 | Baron Nisco:''Did they flog you?'' 37712 Baron Nisco:''Who cut your beard off?'' |
| 37712 | But if you offered a decent remuneration, would you not get free labour? |
| 37712 | But the law? |
| 37712 | How do you know the names of the men murdered? |
| 37712 | Lontulu:''May I call my son lest I make a mistake?'' 37712 President Janssens:''Did you see sentries kill your people? |

| 37712 | President:''Was Isekifasu killed at this time?'' 37712 To Lontulu:''Were the people of Monji, etc., given the corpses to eat?'' |
| 37712 | What are the revenues of this mysterious civil personality? 37712 What have you to say?" |
| 37712 | _ Q._''How do you know it was the white men themselves who ordered these cruel things to be done to you? 37712 _ Q._''How long is it since you left your homes, since the big trouble you speak of?'' |
| 37712 | _ Q._''How many days is it from N---- to your own country?'' 37712 _ Q._''How much pay did you get for this?'' |
| 37712 | _ Q._''You mean to tell me that any white man ordered your bodies to be mutilated like that, and those parts of you carried to him?'' 37712 _ Q._''You say this is true? |
| 37712 | _ Question_:''Were the sentries and people who helped given the dead bodies to eat?'' 37712 ''So you count by guns?'' 37712 ''What, not gone yet?'' 37712 Am I not a lucky fellow? 37712 And what shall that action be? 37712 But what can I do? 37712 Can a solution be found through Belgium? 37712 Can they say more than the man actually incriminated, M. Le Jeune, the chief agent at the spot? 37712 Company, whose iniquities had been thoroughly exposed before the Commission, and whose manager M. Le Jeune, had fled to Europe? 37712 Could King Leopold have shown more clearly how far any real reform was from his mind? 37712 Could they be told in plainer terms that they were to disregard it? 37712 Did he already foresee how widely his future actions would differ from his present professions? 37712 Did they kill many?'' 37712 Do n''t you see among them the hands of little children and girls( young girls or boys)? 37712 Do the Kimberley diamond hunters like work? 37712 Do the blacks of the Rand gold mines like work? 37712 Do the carriers of an East German caravan like work? 37712 Does the philanthropic King of the Belgians know about this? 37712 Does this all seem horrible? 37712 Either the surplus is furnished freely; and if so, how can coercion be logically argued? 37712 He continues:To whom does the rubber belong which grows upon the land occupied by the Congo natives? |
| 37712 | He tells how the white man fought him, and when the fight was over handed him his corpses, and said:''Now you will bring rubber, wo n''t you?'' |
| 37712 | He then asked:''Where is his rubber?'' |
| 37712 | He was_ chicotted_( flogged), and said,"Why do you do this? |
| 37712 | He withdrew all that he had said at the Commission-- and who can blame him? |
| 37712 | How could the foreign merchant do business when the State had seized everything and could sell it for itself direct in Europe? |
| 37712 | How could they trade when the State had taken from them everything which they had to offer? |
| 37712 | How much blood will the transport make to flow? |
| 37712 | How, then, is this produce to be gathered? |
| 37712 | How, then, was Mr. Stannard to produce evidence that his account was correct? |
| 37712 | I mention that after travelling many miles to obtain cloth for ivory and redwood powder, the despairing natives asked:''Well, what is it you do want? |
| 37712 | If the agents on the spot did not attempt before the Commission to deny the outrages who shall venture to do it in their name? |
| 37712 | If the sentinels were puzzled about this message, what would the natives be?" |
| 37712 | If, then, they saw as much as they did, what must have been the condition of those huge tracts of country where no missions existed? |
| 37712 | Is it not clear that these steps are not accidental, but are absolutely essential to the original idea? |
| 37712 | Is it not evident that, save the first three, these were the very men who were on their trial? |
| 37712 | Is it right to flog a chief?"'' |
| 37712 | Is it the making of money? |
| 37712 | Know you not the military man among you, the lawyer and the merchant, the banker, the artist, or the poet? |
| 37712 | Meeting a poor woman, whose husband was away fishing, he asked:''Where is your husband?'' |
| 37712 | One Monday night, a sentinel who had just returned from the Commissary, said to me:''What are the sentinels to do? |
| 37712 | Or is it the United States which would stand in the way, when her citizens have vied with our own in withstanding and exposing these iniquities? |
| 37712 | Or, lastly, is France the danger? |
| 37712 | Suppose he resigns? |
| 37712 | Surely there is some limit to the silent complicity of the civilized world? |
| 37712 | There was hardly a sound building in the place.... Why such dilapidation? |
| 37712 | War with Belgium? |
| 37712 | Was he at that time consciously hypocritical? |
| 37712 | Was it ashamed of its bloodthirsty deeds? |
| 37712 | Was it prepared in any way to modify its policy after the revelations which its representatives had admitted to be true? |
| 37712 | Was it with the capita? |
| 37712 | Was it, then, with the District Commissary? |
| 37712 | Was it, then, with the Governor- General at Boma? |
| 37712 | Was it, then, with the agent? |
| 37712 | Weak and trimming, it is true, but it was the cornerstone of all that the King had built, and how were they to knock it rudely out? |
| 37712 | Were many of you so treated after being shot?'' |
| 37712 | What advantage, then, would the Protestants gain by any change? |
| 37712 | What can I do? |
| 37712 | What can be done? |
| 37712 | What can he do then? |

| 27765 | That''s a hymn, ai n''t it? |
| 27765 | Well, after all these long travels what are you going to do now? |
| 27765 | What Yeomanry? |
| 27765 | What am I going to do? |
| 27765 | What''s this chummy? |
| 27765 | Where did he hail from? |
| 27765 | Where''s my rifle an''hat? 27765 Where''s that beastly peg?" |
| 27765 | Who gave you permission to shoot this horse? |

| 27765 | A Fife friend tells me he now and again gets a large medicine bottle of-- well, what would it be for a Scotchman? |
| 27765 | After the day''s march, when the Infantry not on picket are in camp, a dark figure often slouches up our lines, and a voice inquires,"Is Pem''ere?" |
| 27765 | After tramping another two miles:"How far off is Pretoria?" |
| 27765 | And if we had n''t, what would we have done? |
| 27765 | And where, most of all, queries your enforced member of a Blue Ribbon Army-- where is the Wassail Bowl? |
| 27765 | And why? |
| 27765 | And, after all, what do you think the wily Boer bagged as the result of such a lovely death trap? |
| 27765 | Anyhow, what do they want with gwub? |
| 27765 | As I write this evening by candlelight, in our rude substitute for a tent, I can hear the chorus of"The miner''s( why not a yeoman''s?) |
| 27765 | As she ships it green on the old trail, our own trail, the home trail, As she lifts and''scends on the long trail-- the trail that is always new?" |

| 27765 | But I was born to suffer, and was I not in hospital? |
| 27765 | But did I draw it in action? |
| 27765 | But now, what does the fully- fledged Imperial Yeoman do? |
| 27765 | But where were the tents, the men and horses that used to be? |
| 27765 | But, oh, where was my pipe, should I ever see it again? |

| 27765 | Does this sound Utopian? |
| 27765 | Field Hospital from our boots, but let not an abusive word be levelled at them, for are they not all honourable men? |
| 27765 | Good, is n''t it? |
| 27765 | Had they had any mails? |
| 27765 | Has it e''er drawn human blood? |
| 27765 | Have you used Pears''soap?" |
| 27765 | Having paraded and answered to our names, a doctor strolled down the ranks questioning us,"Are you all right?" |
| 27765 | His reply, as he told me, struck me as quaint and natural,"''Ow can I''old my''ands up?" |
| 27765 | How would you like to be awakened out of a comfortable sleep at 3 a.m. in the above manner? |
| 27765 | I wonder how the veterans of the Natal campaign, the gallant Irish Brigade, and others, will be received when they return? |
| 27765 | If you ask a British soldier,"How goes it?" |
| 27765 | If you could n''t stand discipline, what did you come out here for?" |
| 27765 | Imperial Bugs, The time grows heavy on our hands; Are the recruiting sergeants dead? |

| 27765 | Men just in from patrol._ Man with bullet hole in hat:"Is tea up?" |
| 27765 | Near me, from under a rain- soaked blanket a sun- bronzed face appeared and a sleepy voice inquired"are the_ burchers_( burghers) shelling us?" |
| 27765 | Now I know for a fact that these persons will, on first meeting me, demand at once,"Have you brought any sets of surcharged Transvaal stamps back?" |
| 27765 | Oh, how did the point get blunted, sir? |
| 27765 | Only a few days ago I received amongst my mails a letter from my sister, who inquired,"How is your horse?" |
| 27765 | Presently the inevitable question"What''s the date?" |
| 27765 | So on I pushed, inquiring of everybody,"Where is the Farrier- Sergeant?" |
| 27765 | Sometimes a generous friend would confidentially ask,"Do you think they''ll let you start?" |
| 27765 | The next burning questions were"What boat will it be and when does she sail?" |
| 27765 | The rain ceasing after a while, the other fellows emerged like so many slugs, and soon under my supervision( was I not articled to an architect once?) |
| 27765 | Then that little tin soldier he sobbed and sighed, So I patted his little tin head,"What vexes your little tin soul?" |
| 27765 | Then, after another remark or so,"Seen much fighting?" |
| 27765 | Then, further on,"Have n''t the oats come on in that field?" |
| 27765 | Then, with cries of"Close the water- tight compartments,""Man the pumps,""Launch the lifeboat,""Where''s the rocket apparatus?" |
| 27765 | Then,"I wonder if they''ve got any fowls left in that shanty over there?" |
| 27765 | This order was obeyed reluctantly, then"Who are you?" |
| 27765 | To which my neighbour replied,"Do n''t you remember coming this way when we were leading those Argentine remounts?" |
| 27765 | Upon us, one by one, he pounced, this"brave, silent(?) |
| 27765 | We have all been like so many children at Christmas- time, asking one another"How many did you get?" |
| 27765 | We were dirty and unshaven, but it mattered not, we were monarchs(_ VÃ ¦ Victis!_) and was it not my birthday? |
| 27765 | What War?" |
| 27765 | When I do, I sez''I''m all right;''ow''s yerself?'' |
| 27765 | When you meet a man out here, usually the first question is"What sort of grub are you having?" |
| 27765 | Where is the prickly, red- berried holly? |
| 27765 | Where was it? |
| 27765 | Where was my pipe, should I get it all right? |
| 27765 | Where, too, the mistletoe with its pearly berries? |
| 27765 | Which one? |
| 27765 | Who will ever forget them? |
| 27765 | Why was n''t I wearing this article? |
| 27765 | You ask if it e''er took a life, sir? |

| 27765 | _ Wednesday, July 11th, 1900._( More_ kopje?_) Here I am again on the outlying picket racket, and renewing my studies of kopjes. |
| 27765 | and if I answer"Nay,"what will they think of me? |
| 27765 | in K._:"Have many Boers been past here?" |
| 27765 | in K._:"Is he on those kopjes, potting at us?" |
| 27765 | in K._:"Where is your brother?" |
| 27765 | in K._:"Where is your husband?" |
| 38447 | Are you sure that Labotsibeni has few warriors and that these will not remain faithful? |
| 38447 | But what is the charge? 38447 But why wo n''t she see me? |
| 38447 | Ca n''t you get ten or fifteen women, Nkoos? |
| 38447 | Did that snake come on two feet? |
| 38447 | Do n''t you want to practice a little practical Christianity? 38447 Do you not know that these are white witch- doctors of great magic and are too great to even look on such lowly people as you?" |
| 38447 | Does the king expect me? 38447 Finally I asked,''Ou funaan?'' |
| 38447 | Guilty or not guilty? |
| 38447 | How did the snake come to his kraal? |
| 38447 | How long ago was that? |
| 38447 | How many followers has Sebuza, Nkosikaas? |
| 38447 | How many young women, all maidens, are you prepared to give? |
| 38447 | How was Labotsibeni killed? |
| 38447 | Is the way prepared for us? |
| 38447 | Lochien, faithful induna and counsellor,Tzaneen replied,"Is my son, the king, wounded or hurt in any way? |
| 38447 | Mzaan Bakoor, you of great magic, can you count the blades of grass in the field? |
| 38447 | Nkoos, is it true that Buno is dead? |
| 38447 | Nkoos, you have a present for me? |
| 38447 | Nkoos, you have sent for me? |
| 38447 | Now will you be so kind as to tell me what you are doing at Zombode? |
| 38447 | Now, how can I tell him about this? |
| 38447 | Since when? 38447 So she is worried, eh?" |
| 38447 | So you are all right, Mzaan Bakoor? |
| 38447 | The war is over, yes? |
| 38447 | Then, Nkoos, why did you pay Lomwazi and Queen Labotsibeni all the money, cows, and gin for the right to use the black boxes? |
| 38447 | They say it was a bad business? |
| 38447 | We are, are we? |
| 38447 | Well, Doctor O''Neil? |
| 38447 | What did you see? 38447 What did you tell him?" |
| 38447 | What if your child be a woman? |
| 38447 | What next? 38447 What the devil is the matter with you?" |
| 38447 | What will happen to Lomwazi when he has turned over the kingdom to Sebuza? |
| 38447 | What''s all this trouble? |
| 38447 | What''s the matter? |
| 38447 | What''s the use, lad? |
| 38447 | When is it planned to hold the formal ceremonies of making Sebuza king of Swaziland? |
| 38447 | Who am I that I am kept out of my kingdom? |
| 38447 | Who are they that I should go to them? |
| 38447 | Who is to rule Swaziland until your child is born? |
| 38447 | Why are these warlike manoeuvers? 38447 Why do you disturb L''Tunga and his white friends?" |
| 38447 | Why do you make all this row so early in the morning? |
| 38447 | Why do you make so much fight? 38447 Why is America so foolish?" |
| 38447 | Why should an O''Neil of Rietvlei wait on these common gamblers from Johannesburg? 38447 Would n''t it be better to fight?" |
| 38447 | Yes? 38447 You have heard the charge?" |
| 38447 | You hear that, Mzaan Bakoor? |
| 38447 | You see those black boxes? |
| 38447 | You see those? |
| 38447 | After we had had several drinks, Sugden turned to me and asked:"Well, what are we here for? |
| 38447 | And did he carry himself in battle as should the son of Buno?" |
| 38447 | Are his men waiting for me?" |
| 38447 | Are none of you going to give us a hand in this fight?" |
| 38447 | By the way, I wonder what His Majesty''s Royal High Commissioner for Swaziland thinks of things now?" |
| 38447 | Come on, unless you want to see him go?" |
| 38447 | Do n''t you know that sudden death is always walking abroad at night in Swaziland? |
| 38447 | Do n''t you think it is my turn to wear them? |
| 38447 | Do n''t you think you''d better wait a day or two before tackling me?" |
| 38447 | Do you give up the throne?" |
| 38447 | Do you want to die?" |
| 38447 | Does my son, the son of Slim Gert O''Neil, want to be a nigger?" |
| 38447 | Gradually we led the conversation to the coming coronation and finally asked him the leading question: How soon will it be? |
| 38447 | Have I not told you?" |
| 38447 | He thought for a moment, and then answered,"Mzaan Bakoor, can you count the blades of grass in a field?" |
| 38447 | His only reply was,"Induna? |
| 38447 | How could I? |
| 38447 | I wonder what he is doing? |
| 38447 | If I had n''t seen it, how could I know anything about it? |
| 38447 | If I''d seen it, it was my duty to report it, was n''t it? |
| 38447 | Is Lomwazi going to be executed as part of the festivities?" |
| 38447 | Is it not so?" |
| 38447 | Is this not so?" |
| 38447 | Is this so?" |
| 38447 | Now what do you think of your Uncle Tuys?" |
| 38447 | Of course I could n''t tell Oom Paul that Buno and I had an important business deal on at that time, could I? |
| 38447 | Our talk ended when Mr. Honey rose to his feet with the remark,"Of course you are dining with me tonight?" |
| 38447 | Shall I give the word that means death, or will you listen and obey the order I now give?" |
| 38447 | Shall I tell him to go to hell?" |
| 38447 | Shall we fight?" |
| 38447 | Shall we go through with the plan, or fight? |
| 38447 | Tell me, what did you see?" |
| 38447 | The witch- doctors might tell them that you were putting some sort of a curse on them, and then where would you be?" |
| 38447 | Then he asked,"Are you sure there were ten indunas sacrificed?" |
| 38447 | Then how soon will Sebuza be crowned?" |
| 38447 | There was the usual salutation, and she asked,"My son, the king, is dead?" |
| 38447 | They say that Buno is sick, but that ought not to make any difference, ought it?" |
| 38447 | What are these plans?" |
| 38447 | What do we want?" |
| 38447 | What happened? |
| 38447 | What have they done? |
| 38447 | What more could be desired? |
| 38447 | What next?" |
| 38447 | What shall we do now? |
| 38447 | When did you change your name?" |
| 38447 | Who am I that I should take notice of such dirt?" |
| 38447 | Who the devil are those busybodies who do n''t mind their own business?" |
| 38447 | Who will join my life- saving crew?" |
| 38447 | Why did she go into the war?" |
| 38447 | Why do you tell such lies? |
| 38447 | Why have these warriors stopped my men?" |
| 38447 | Why have you come to see me?" |
| 38447 | Will you be their guardian when I am gone?" |
| 38447 | Will you bet with them? |
| 38447 | Will you do this?" |
| 38447 | Will you go and see what''s the matter?" |
| 38447 | Wo n''t we, Sibijaan?" |
| 38447 | Wo n''t you rest a while and have some tswala and refresh yourselves? |
| 38447 | You would not have done this if the queen''s permission was not of great value to you, would you?" |
| 38447 | You''ve seen the pipe, have n''t you? |
| 38447 | which means''What do you want?'' |
| 16131 | Americans? |
| 16131 | And your own? |
| 16131 | Are you an Englishman? |
| 16131 | Been in Africa long? |
| 16131 | Been''stopping one''? |
| 16131 | Born in this country? |
| 16131 | But how the devil do you know they are shooting from the farmhouse? |
| 16131 | Did n''t they show fight? |
| 16131 | Did they ill- treat you-- knock you about, and that sort of thing? |
| 16131 | Do you take us for savages? |
| 16131 | Do you think him a good fighter? |
| 16131 | Do you think him as good a man as Lord Kitchener? |
| 16131 | Do you think him as good as Lord Roberts? |
| 16131 | Feel any better now, old fellow? |
| 16131 | Fight? |
| 16131 | Have the same hatred for the Boers before the war as you have now? |
| 16131 | Hotel- keeper, perhaps? |
| 16131 | How long is it since I was knocked over? |
| 16131 | Is my comrade dead? |
| 16131 | Like venison? |
| 16131 | Merchant? |
| 16131 | Mines? |
| 16131 | Positive they were Dutchmen? |
| 16131 | Shoot it yourself, eh? |
| 16131 | Shopkeeper? |
| 16131 | Stopped a few, did he? 16131 Think they''d trust us to look after anything so important?" |
| 16131 | To whom? |
| 16131 | Well, what if they are? 16131 What are we here fer, Bill?" |
| 16131 | What do you Britishers and Australians think of Cronje? |
| 16131 | What do you fellows think of Australians as fighters? |
| 16131 | What for? |
| 16131 | What was your calling, or profession, or business, or means of livelihood? |
| 16131 | Where did you put in most of your time before the war? |
| 16131 | Where were you when the war broke out? |
| 16131 | Which one, Karl? |
| 16131 | Which one? |
| 16131 | Why did n''t you pick up a rifle and have a hand in the fighting? |
| 16131 | Why do you hate them so bitterly, then? |
| 16131 | Why should I; do n''t we pay''Tommy''to do that for us? |
| 16131 | Why should not the white population of South Africa be ready to live under the protection of Britain? 16131 Why should we live under any flag but our own?" |
| 16131 | Yes, d-- n you; did you think we were springbok? |
| 16131 | You, of course, blame all the Colonials, Australians and others, for coming to fight against you? |
| 16131 | ''Who goes there?'' |
| 16131 | Ai n''t plenty of the Cape Volunteers who are fighting under President Kruger''s banner born of Dutch parents? |
| 16131 | And their women; what of them? |
| 16131 | And you, who hold the remedy in your own hands, what will you do? |
| 16131 | And yours be the shame if the Empire''s flag be lowered-- not theirs, but yours; for you-- what do you do? |
| 16131 | Are they fit to tramp the whole night through to make a forced march to turn a position, and then fight as their fathers fought next day? |
| 16131 | Are those men fit to storm a kopje? |
| 16131 | Are we not great enough to look with pride upon a gallant foe? |
| 16131 | Are we only an English market, Held dear for the sake of trade? |
| 16131 | Are we only an English market, Held dear for the sake of trade? |
| 16131 | As I rode from position to position our fellows greeted me with the cry:"Any news, sir? |
| 16131 | But-- er, have you been in the hands of the Boers since the war started?" |
| 16131 | Did they rob you?" |
| 16131 | Do you count us devoid of pride? |
| 16131 | Do you sneer at the Boers? |
| 16131 | Do you take me for a d----''Tommy,''sir?" |
| 16131 | Do you think we are chicken- hearted? |
| 16131 | Have you ever seen a savage nigger wench pout, my masters? |
| 16131 | Have you grown tame, have you waxed fat and foolish during these long years of peace? |
| 16131 | Heard if we are going to have a go at''em with the spoons( bayonets)?" |
| 16131 | How did we know? |
| 16131 | How do they charge, these bare- legged sons of Scotia? |
| 16131 | I muttered,"and he''ll have to rot on the open veldt, I suppose?" |
| 16131 | I''m a prisoner, ai n''t I?" |
| 16131 | If our commanders blunder, who is to blame but the criminally negligent officials who have supplied them with false or foolish data to work upon? |
| 16131 | If two innocent, incompetent(?) |
| 16131 | Is n''t that enough?" |
| 16131 | It is pleasant to swagger and brag of"your fellows at the front;"but why do n''t you see that they are fed, if you want them to fight? |
| 16131 | Just give me a few names and dates and facts, will you?" |
| 16131 | Or are we a part of the Empire Close welded as hilt and blade? |
| 16131 | Or are we a part of the Empire, Close welded as hilt and blade? |
| 16131 | Should we not curse them as a craven crowd, and teach our lisping babes to mock their memory? |
| 16131 | Staked it for what? |
| 16131 | The hills of Afghanistan must have re- echoed to his tread, else why the green and crimson ribbon that mingled with the rest? |
| 16131 | There was a pause in the ranks of the Yeomen, then a voice lisped through the gathering gloom,"Are you fellahs British?" |
| 16131 | Therefore, I ask, why should these negroes be privileged to do what Australians or Canadians are forbidden to do? |
| 16131 | They were but twenty men, and we four hundred"A"Tommy"sitting at the speaker''s feet looked up and said:"What are yer makin''sich a song abart it far? |
| 16131 | Though every man in all that fearless few is England''s foe, yet we, who boast the Vikings''blood in every vein, can we not honour them? |
| 16131 | Was it a trap? |
| 16131 | Was it because of poisoned or polluted water, left in their path by the enemy whom they were fighting? |
| 16131 | Was it because the country through which we marched lent itself climatically to the propagation and dissemination of fever germs? |
| 16131 | Was it because their hearts failed them in the presence of hardship and danger? |
| 16131 | Was there some devilish craft behind that apparent peacefulness? |
| 16131 | We must not pander to them to the injury of the Dutch, or how are we to weld Dutch and British into a national whole? |
| 16131 | What did it mean? |
| 16131 | What has become of the rations of rum, of sugar, of tea, of cocoa, of groceries generally? |
| 16131 | What is a camp liar? |
| 16131 | What on earth made you do such a fool''s trick as to try and ride from our rifles at that distance?" |
| 16131 | What was his rank?" |
| 16131 | What were you chasing the other fellah foah, eh?" |
| 16131 | Where do these rumours come from? |
| 16131 | Why did n''t you do the same if you reckoned yourself a better man?" |
| 16131 | Why did they die, these strong young soldiers of our Queen? |
| 16131 | Why did they die? |
| 16131 | Why did they die? |
| 16131 | Why should we bow our necks to Britain''s yoke, even if it be a yoke of silk?" |
| 16131 | Would Kitchener, whose dread name strikes terror to the heart of every burgher, would he befoul his foeman''s fame? |
| 16131 | Would he carry me safely out of that line of fire, or would he fail me? |
| 16131 | Would you ask one Boer to fight against another Boer simply because he lived on one side of a river and his blood relation lived on the other? |
| 18764 | ''And from Mekka to Jerusalem?'' 18764 ''And thence to the second heaven?'' |

| 18764 | And what happens to him in the day time? |
| 18764 | And when abroad? |
| 18764 | And when at home? |
| 18764 | But how does this poor fellow come in for it? |
| 18764 | But what has that to do with the gun? |
| 18764 | Canst read, O Moses? |
| 18764 | Dost suppose that my master is a dog of a Nazarene, that he should keep his word to thee? 18764 Enough? |
| 18764 | For how much? |
| 18764 | How can I befriend you? |
| 18764 | How did he die? |
| 18764 | How did you lose your property? |
| 18764 | How doest thou? |
| 18764 | How dost thou find thyself this morning? |
| 18764 | How fares thy house? |
| 18764 | Is any incredulous here? 18764 Is it not so?" |
| 18764 | Is nothing wrong with thee? |
| 18764 | Is that So- and- so? |
| 18764 | My home? 18764 No ill, praise God; and thyself, O Sáïd?" |
| 18764 | Now, my friends, which among you will do business with the palms of all these faithful ones? 18764 Now, where is the good man and true who reveres the name of this holy one? |
| 18764 | Oh, indeed, so you like the Christians? |
| 18764 | So? 18764 The kaïd was there, and when he saw us he exclaimed,''There you are, are you? |
| 18764 | Thou know''st my complaint and my only cure: Why, then, wilt thou heal me not? 18764 Well, how now?" |
| 18764 | Well, what dost thou want? |
| 18764 | What for? |
| 18764 | What will you do with your palace when you leave it? |
| 18764 | What? 18764 Who art thou?" |
| 18764 | Who is willing to yield himself wholly and entirely to Mulai Abd el Káder? 18764 Who says they are harmless? |
| 18764 | Who wishes to have a good conscience and a clean heart? 18764 Why run,"they ask,"when you might just as well walk? |
| 18764 | Wonderest thou still, O Bashador, that I prefer the Nazarenes, and wish there were more of them in the country? 18764 _ Have_ I? |
| 18764 | ''Dost thou think me a fool, to come here to discuss the science of religion, and to be put off with a game of chess?'' |
| 18764 | ''O victorious of God,''they with one voice replied,''since God, the High and Blessed, is our King, what have we to fear? |
| 18764 | ''Who mayest_ thou_ be,''they asked,''who dost not wish peace to the Resigned?'' |
| 18764 | ("And when at home?'') |
| 18764 | = FOREWORD= Which of us has yet forgotten that first day when we set foot in Barbary? |
| 18764 | A creaky voice here breaks in from round the corner--"Hast thou not a copper for the sake of the Lord?" |
| 18764 | A piece is leisurely handed down, and the customer inquires in a disparaging tone,"How much?" |
| 18764 | After the usual salutations have been exchanged, the eager inquiry is made,"Is there a steamer yet?" |
| 18764 | Against such methods who can compete? |
| 18764 | And in the majority of cases there is at least a question: What were the victims doing there? |
| 18764 | And what has Mulai Abd El Azîz replied to French complaints and demands respecting the now historical dismissal of the military_ attachés_? |
| 18764 | And why, lying down, keep your eyes open?" |
| 18764 | As already agreed, the Nazarene was the first to question:"''How far is it from the Earth to the first heaven?'' |
| 18764 | But as this is only a means to an end, who can tell what that may be? |
| 18764 | But what can one expect with such a standard of honour? |
| 18764 | But what chances have they? |
| 18764 | Can they have realized what it all means? |
| 18764 | Can we shut our eyes to the deliberate provocations they are giving the Makhzen in almost every part of the sultanate? |
| 18764 | Could ever bell send thrill like that? |
| 18764 | Did they kill your father?" |
| 18764 | Had not thirty- four correspondents descended on Tangier alone, each with expenses to meet? |
| 18764 | Had they not done so, who would answer for the consequences? |
| 18764 | How can I tell thee where that was, when I was brought away so early? |
| 18764 | How convince such people that brigandage is an art unknown south of the Oom Rabya? |
| 18764 | How could it be otherwise? |
| 18764 | I am often asked,"What would a Moor think of this?" |
| 18764 | In spite of all our comfortable ca nt about justice to less powerful races, who in England cares about justice to Morocco and her Sultan? |
| 18764 | Is it thus thou beginnest the world? |
| 18764 | It was a fine present, was it not, Bashador? |
| 18764 | Now, who knows? |
| 18764 | Presently your scattered thoughts are recalled by a chirping voice from within--"Who''s that?" |
| 18764 | Shall I try it on thee?" |
| 18764 | That the prayer of the Shluh, when a Nazarene visits their land, is that nothing may happen to bring trouble on the clan? |
| 18764 | The inscription on their marble tomb in the church above tells how that the Moors having been conquered and heresy stamped out(? |
| 18764 | Then comes a policeman, a makházni, who seats himself amid a shower of salutations--"Hast thou any more of those selháms"( hooded cloaks)? |
| 18764 | What avails it that grace of a generation''s span is allowed them, that they may not individually suffer from the change? |
| 18764 | What can you give me?" |
| 18764 | What is the pleasure of my Lord?" |
| 18764 | What is your trouble?" |
| 18764 | What might he not do next? |
| 18764 | What more could be wished? |
| 18764 | What next?" |
| 18764 | When both cease for lack of breath, after a brief pause the new arrival asks,"Have you any of that''Merican?" |
| 18764 | Where else did Rome find so near a match, and what wars cost her more than did those of Africa? |
| 18764 | Where would they have stopped? |
| 18764 | Who has heard, who wants to hear, the Moorish side of the question? |
| 18764 | Who says their fangs are extracted?" |
| 18764 | Who will dedicate himself from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head? |
| 18764 | Who will say a prayer to Mulai Abd el Káder?" |
| 18764 | Why should we trouble them? |
| 18764 | Why sit, when lying down gives so much more rest? |
| 18764 | Why stand, when sitting is so much less fatiguing? |
| 18764 | Why walk, when standing would do? |
| 18764 | Will they never cease? |
| 18764 | Would they ever have been driven out, or would St. Paul''s have been a second Kûtûbîya, and Westminster a Karûeeïn? |
| 18764 | _ Sultan._"How much does he ask?" |
| 18764 | _ Sultan._"Is there anything I can do for such good friends?" |
| 18764 | _ Sultan._"What sort of place is that on the Marshan?" |
| 18764 | not drink it?" |
| 18764 | what is that weird, low sound which strikes upon our ear and interrupts our musings? |

| 16859 | ***** Wednesday, September 25.--Deathbed; sorrowful topic to write upon, and yet why shirk it? |
| 16859 | Afternoon comes; new church; funerals; final visits, and where does the preparation come in? |
| 16859 | And is not this plea enough? |
| 16859 | And now, where are these dead? |
| 16859 | And now-- now the daughter is better, the three children on the way to recovery, and the faithful old grandmother? |
| 16859 | And now? |
| 16859 | And now? |
| 16859 | And our camp? |
| 16859 | And sermon? |
| 16859 | And the hospital? |
| 16859 | And the sick? |
| 16859 | And there sat the mother with hands clasped round her knee and a little girl beside her;"En het jij dan nie ander goed nie?" |
| 16859 | And what, now what, do they always put in tea and coffee in other places? |
| 16859 | And with a wasted constitution who can battle against fever, pneumonia, and other things? |
| 16859 | And yet let me confess, can there be any work grander, more glorious, than just this work of mine? |
| 16859 | And yet, after all, will a coffin save the soul? |
| 16859 | Astounded this evening by doctor,"Well, now, was n''t it fine that I got you the right to grant briefies?" |
| 16859 | Authority( Assistant Superintendent):"En wanneer eet julle Boere dan breakfast?" |
| 16859 | Buried her this afternoon, also seven others;"Dood, waar is uw prikkel?" |
| 16859 | But where, O where, are our prayers? |
| 16859 | But will I ever here roll me snugly in my blankets with the satisfaction that all the sick and suffering have been visited? |
| 16859 | By the way, what do we call that stuff one sometimes puts on bread for breakfast and tea? |
| 16859 | Can a man sink so low? |
| 16859 | Can a man( let alone a woman-- breathe not of a child) remain healthy and strong on bread, meat( miserable half- pound), coffee, and condensed milk? |
| 16859 | Can not we sometimes forget the inevitable political aspect of things and see beyond into the human? |
| 16859 | Can one be unmoved when you see weeping, stricken mothers kneeling in anguish beside their infants''graves? |
| 16859 | Cui bono? |
| 16859 | Floor? |

| 16859 | Great question; where to get material for coffin for Lena? |
| 16859 | Here is where the dissatisfaction comes in; and yet, how am I to know? |
| 16859 | How can one''s heart remain hard? |
| 16859 | How do we write? |
| 16859 | How many go away empty- handed who present"briefies"at the office? |
| 16859 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel?) |
| 16859 | Ik is alleen hier en twee van mij kinders is al dood, and nou le die dochtertje ernstig ziek in die hospital?" |
| 16859 | In other ward Mrs. Du Toit and Mrs. Grobbelaar very, very bad; saw the worst, and prayed for them-- and the end? |
| 16859 | Introduction and second point more satisfactory; luckily(?) |
| 16859 | Is there Life after Death? |
| 16859 | Is there a Heaven? |
| 16859 | Is there a Hell? |
| 16859 | Is there a Throne above, around which a crowd that can not be numbered stand clothed in long white robes? |
| 16859 | Is there a sorrow like to our sorrow? |
| 16859 | Is there no pity? |
| 16859 | Is there perhaps a purgatory where souls are purified? |
| 16859 | Is this Death? |
| 16859 | Maar hoe''n soort boek is dit?" |
| 16859 | No, I havn''t that at all; but what kind of book is it?) |
| 16859 | Now what on earth can be more beautiful than our meeting this evening? |
| 16859 | Now, what could I do? |
| 16859 | Now, what has become of all our prayers and supplications? |
| 16859 | Old Mr. Plessis pleurisy; great agony; restless; fretful; fearful; fear the worst; wonder if prepared to die? |
| 16859 | Old Mrs. Griesel, delirious,"Ach, minheer, en moet ik nou sterve en dit zonder eers een glas karren melk to kry?" |
| 16859 | Onze ou baby is dood, en ik kan nerens vir haar een stukkie hout krij nie"( Sir, wo n''t I be able to have that little box? |
| 16859 | Overheard conversation between old man and doctor: You, what do you want here? |
| 16859 | Poor little mites; and nourishment? |
| 16859 | She asked me the last time I saw her,"Wanneer gaat, minheer, dan mij stukkie lees uit die Bijbel?" |
| 16859 | Soon man stood next to me,"Minheer, zal ik dan nie daardie kisje kan krij nie? |
| 16859 | Straight to convalescent tent; reproaches;"Ach, minheer, het min dan ver ons vergeet?" |
| 16859 | Talked to her this afternoon, and asked her if she knew Who had made her sick? |
| 16859 | There is one man always at my back; times a day; came with most wonderful request two days ago; wants me to get him a-- guess? |
| 16859 | This afternoon,"Hoe zou ik u overgeven, O Efraim? |
| 16859 | U overleveren, O Israel?" |
| 16859 | Was it ignorance or obstinacy or indifference? |
| 16859 | Wat is dit?" |
| 16859 | Went with trembling heart to 532;"Waar is die kind?" |
| 16859 | What about the palm branches? |
| 16859 | What could I do? |
| 16859 | What do the departed do just now? |
| 16859 | What have we written? |
| 16859 | What is it?") |
| 16859 | What now? |
| 16859 | What on earth will become of them? |
| 16859 | What shall I write about? |
| 16859 | What would she tell me? |
| 16859 | What''s to be done? |
| 16859 | When they simultaneously tell you all about their departed cherubs? |
| 16859 | When will I find time to prepare myself decently? |
| 16859 | Where does it originate? |
| 16859 | Why ask me to issue briefies? |
| 16859 | Why can not husband and wife be allowed to go in same camp? |
| 16859 | Why is there so much sorrow and bitterness in this life? |
| 16859 | Wonder if he is still alive? |
| 16859 | Wonder what the look and smell of a vegetable is? |
| 16859 | Young man addressed me quite intimate- like this afternoon,"En wat schrijf maat in de boekie?" |
| 16859 | [ 36]***** Saturday, September 7.--To- morrow is Sunday, and my sermons? |

| 38389 | ''But then he is a very great man, is he not?'' 38389 ''But, suppose you do not know who the thief is?'' |
| 38389 | ''Do you believe in witchcraft?'' 38389 ''Do you think he is alive?'' |
| 38389 | ''Hallo,''said I,''is this another one?'' 38389 ''How do the Wagogo marry?'' |
| 38389 | ''How do you bury a Wagogo?'' 38389 ''How do you punish a thief?'' |
| 38389 | ''How much has the sultan got to pay?'' 38389 ''If God made my father, God made me, did n''t He?'' |
| 38389 | ''In cases of murder, what do you do to the man that kills another?'' 38389 ''In this village?'' |
| 38389 | ''Supposing you resolve to stay, what of the Egyptians?'' 38389 ''Well, what is your name?'' |
| 38389 | ''Well, who made you?'' 38389 ''What are you, Chumah, the friend of Weko- tani?'' |
| 38389 | ''What do you do with the sultan, when he is dead?'' 38389 ''What is a woman worth?'' |
| 38389 | ''What will it cost?'' 38389 ''What,''said I,''do you really think I can find Dr. Livingstone? |
| 38389 | ''Where has he been so long? 38389 ''Who are you?'' |
| 38389 | ''Who succeeds the sultan? 38389 ''Why,''said she,''is he not one of us? |
| 38389 | After throwing over his shoulders his_ robe de chambre_, Mr. Bennett asked:''Where do you think Livingstone is?'' 38389 And is he now stopping at Ujiji?" |
| 38389 | Are raids of this kind frequent? |
| 38389 | Did you know him? |
| 38389 | Eh-- eh? |
| 38389 | How is he dressed? |
| 38389 | How long is he going to stay there? |
| 38389 | Is he young or old? |
| 38389 | Is it necessary for me to proceed further to teach you? |
| 38389 | Shaw, did you fire? |
| 38389 | The following conversation occurred between myself and a Wagogo trader:''Who do you suppose made your parents?'' |
| 38389 | Was he ever there before? |
| 38389 | Was it Providence or luck? 38389 What could a man have exaggerated of these facts? |
| 38389 | What do you mean? |
| 38389 | What is this? |
| 38389 | Where has he come from? |
| 38389 | Who fired that gun? |
| 38389 | ''Cast off,''the little master said,''nothing will happen; am I not here?'' |
| 38389 | ''Will you hush?'' |
| 38389 | At this moment an Arab, who had approached from behind, struck up the wretch''s gun and exclaimed,"Man, how dare you point your gun at the master?" |
| 38389 | But the great wonder of all was,''How did you come from Unyanyembe?'' |
| 38389 | But this-- where is the nobleman''s park that can match this scene? |
| 38389 | But what would Livingstone do locked up at Ujiji? |
| 38389 | But why should I feel as if baited by these stupid, slow- witted Arabs, and their warnings and croakings? |
| 38389 | Could he get canoes-- could he surmount difficulties that neither Livingstone nor Cameron were able to overcome? |
| 38389 | Did I not well remember my first bitter experience in African jungles, when in the maritime region? |
| 38389 | Do you know that the Suez Canal is a fact-- is opened and a regular trade carried on between Europe and India through it?'' |
| 38389 | Do you know that you are my servant, sir, not my companion?" |
| 38389 | Do you know why? |
| 38389 | Do you mean me to go to Central Africa?'' |
| 38389 | Do you realize where you are? |
| 38389 | Does he not bring plenty of cloth and beads? |
| 38389 | Halting, I asked what was the matter, and what they wanted, and why they made such a noise? |
| 38389 | Has he not taken possession of your soil, in that he has put his horse into your ground without your permission? |
| 38389 | Have I uttered a prayer? |
| 38389 | Have you considered well your position? |
| 38389 | Have you never seen the effect of water thrown upon lime? |
| 38389 | He snatched his revolver and rushed out from the tent, and asked the men around the watch- fires,"Who shot?" |
| 38389 | He was spared the stormy scenes we went through afterwards in our war with the Waturn: and who knows how much he has been saved from? |
| 38389 | How can they all be brought out of here? |
| 38389 | How long, I wonder, had it remained at Unyanyembe, had I not been dispatched into Central Africa in search of the great traveler? |
| 38389 | How many beads? |
| 38389 | How many pigeons as carriers? |
| 38389 | How many soldiers? |
| 38389 | How much cloth? |
| 38389 | How much wire? |
| 38389 | I suppose you have heard of the New York_ Herald_?" |
| 38389 | Instead of doing so, he exclaimed, in an insulting tone,"What dog''s meat is this?" |
| 38389 | Is he not a thief?'' |
| 38389 | Is he the eldest son?'' |
| 38389 | Is there really no way of getting a satisfactory, true explanation of all this? |
| 38389 | It occurred thus: The poor fellow asked,"Will the master give his slave liberty to speak?" |
| 38389 | Kingaru--"Why?" |
| 38389 | Livingstone, I presume?'' |
| 38389 | Livingstone?'' |
| 38389 | Livingstone?'' |
| 38389 | No, he could not give it up, but what then-- fight one against four, all armed with muskets, to retain it? |
| 38389 | No; tell me the general news; how is the world getting along?'' |
| 38389 | Now you may ask how came these once solid rocks, which are now but skeletons of hills and stony heaps, to be thus split into so many fragments? |
| 38389 | On my side I may ask, what have you been doing? |
| 38389 | On yours you may ask, and what have you been doing? |
| 38389 | That one man fixed his destiny for this world, and who knows but for the eternal ages? |
| 38389 | The first things to decide were: How much money is required? |
| 38389 | The question each one kept asking himself was, how long will this last and when shall we see smooth water again? |
| 38389 | Then turning to Stanley, he said:"Was he not a very good man?" |
| 38389 | Therefore have I come to ask you who gave you permission to use my soil for a burying- ground?" |
| 38389 | This enraged them, and they walked backward and forward like angry tom- cats, shouting,"Are the Wagogo to be beaten like slaves?" |
| 38389 | This was natural, for Stanley had already won fame there, and why should he not win still greater laurels in the same field? |
| 38389 | W. M.--"How many fighting men have you?" |
| 38389 | W. M.--"How many soldiers have you?" |
| 38389 | W. M.--"The great, great chief?" |
| 38389 | W. M.--"Why do you come and make trouble, then?" |
| 38389 | Was he, indeed, so near this great inland sea, of which Ujiji was the chief harbor? |
| 38389 | What about? |
| 38389 | What could I do but lift up my face toward the pure, glowing sky, and cry,''God be thanked?''" |
| 38389 | What did these dumb witnesses relate to me? |
| 38389 | What else?'' |
| 38389 | What happy influence was it that restrained me from destroying all those concerned in it? |
| 38389 | What is there to fear? |
| 38389 | What kinds of cloth is required for the different tribes? |
| 38389 | What-- who is there? |
| 38389 | When saw you a road so wide? |
| 38389 | Where do you suppose your father has gone to, now that he is dead?'' |
| 38389 | Who are they, that they should be compared to white men? |
| 38389 | Why can not your black women do the same? |
| 38389 | Why should he not be happy? |
| 38389 | Why, what''s the matter?" |
| 38389 | Would I be right in leaving them to their fate? |
| 38389 | Would it not be consigning them all to ruin? |
| 38389 | Would they ever return? |
| 38389 | You surely would not leave them, and they can not travel?'' |
| 38389 | and''Where have you been all this long time? |
| 38389 | carriers for what?'' |
| 38389 | did you fire that shot?" |
| 38389 | is Dr. Livingstone here?'' |
| 38389 | said he, suddenly awakening;"me?--me fire? |
| 38389 | was the terrible question Stanley was perpetually putting to himself, and if not, what desperate movement should he attempt? |
| 38389 | we mutually asked questions of one another, such as:''How did you come here?'' |
| 5891 | A relief? |
| 5891 | Do you get much rubber round here? |
| 5891 | Get up, you lazy scamps,is the next exclamation, followed almost immediately by the question,"Why has not this man been buried?" |
| 5891 | Hatsi soko:--"Who are you?" |
| 5891 | Have you any tobacco? |
| 5891 | Hi, hi, do n''t you hear? 5891 How are we going to get through that way?" |
| 5891 | How long does a palaver usually take to talk round here? |
| 5891 | Ke Soko?'' |
| 5891 | N''est- ce pas? |
| 5891 | No got one, ma? |
| 5891 | Was I a wife of them Move white man,they inquired--"or them other white man?" |
| 5891 | What for good him ting for We country, Cappy? 5891 What for good him ting, Cappy?" |
| 5891 | What if I ca n''t help it? |
| 5891 | What''s the news? |
| 5891 | What? |
| 5891 | What? |
| 5891 | Where be your husband, ma? |
| 5891 | Where them Black Man Misery? |
| 5891 | Where them Black boy live? |
| 5891 | Where them Smiles? |
| 5891 | Where''s John Holt''s factory? |
| 5891 | Where''s the Agent? |
| 5891 | Why not take the native in the rear, Mademoiselle,said he,"and convert the native gods?" |
| 5891 | Why you no got one? |
| 5891 | Why? |
| 5891 | Why? |
| 5891 | Yes, do you not see that until it shows there is nothing but forest, forest, forest, and that still stretch of river? 5891 You be Christian, ma?" |
| 5891 | You kill? |
| 5891 | You no sabe him clock you done sell me? |
| 5891 | All of us save one, need I say that one was myself? |
| 5891 | But repose is not long allowed to that active spirit; he sees something in the water-- what? |
| 5891 | Captain Verdier exceedingly pleasant and constantly saying"N''est- ce pas?" |
| 5891 | Cook does not feel these forest charms, and gives me notice after an hour''s experience of mountain forest- belt work; what cook would not? |
| 5891 | Did you know poor B---? |
| 5891 | Does any one who knows them feel inclined to tell me that those old palm- oil chiefs have not learnt a thing or two during their lives? |
| 5891 | Drawbacks, you say? |
| 5891 | Exit from saloon-- silence-- then:"You sabe five o''clock? |
| 5891 | Exit-- silence-- then:"You sabe half- past five o''clock? |
| 5891 | Fearing my two Agents would fight and damage each other, so that neither would be any good for me, I firmly said,"Have you got any rum?" |
| 5891 | For an hour and a half thought I, Why did I come to Africa, or why, having come, did I not know when I was well off and stay in Glass? |
| 5891 | He did not answer, and his father said,''Do you wish me to kill a goat?'' |
| 5891 | He did not answer; his father said,''Do you wish me to give you new wives?'' |
| 5891 | How can a fish possess land?" |
| 5891 | How in the world is any one going to take a bath in a house with no doors, and only very sketchy wooden window- shutters? |
| 5891 | How would you feel? |
| 5891 | I said,"Why in the world do you throw away in the bush the bodies of your dead slaves? |
| 5891 | I said,"Why not stay for bush?" |
| 5891 | I wonder what they will be like when we are up in their home; up atop of that precious wall? |
| 5891 | I wonder whether the rocks or the trees were there first? |
| 5891 | Is it? |
| 5891 | Kefalla soon arrives upon the scene full of argument,"You no sabe this be Sunday, Ma?" |
| 5891 | Obanjo who had all the time suspected me of having trade motives, artfully said,"What for you come across from Ogowe? |
| 5891 | Of course the first question was, Why was I there? |
| 5891 | One important point that you must remember is that the African is logically right in his answer to such a question as"You have not cleaned this lamp?" |
| 5891 | Surely you have not forgotten your old friend?" |
| 5891 | The Governor is thus liable to be cut off at any moment in the middle of a conversation with Clarence, and the amount of"Hellos""Are you there s?" |
| 5891 | The only question is: Do I individually come under this class? |
| 5891 | The sun which rises and sets, the moon which changes, the tides which come and go:--what do they care? |
| 5891 | Then came the inquiry,"If a man is not a thief?" |
| 5891 | Then his father said,''Do you want me to build you a fetish hut?'' |
| 5891 | Then orders to avoid the night air are still more difficult to obey-- may I ask how you are to do without air from 6.30 P.M. to 6.30 A.M.? |
| 5891 | Then you say where''s my trade?" |
| 5891 | This last is evidently a very heavy accusation, but Kefalla says,"What can a man buy with money better than them thing he like best?" |
| 5891 | This used to be the sort of thing--"Where them Nettlerash lib?" |
| 5891 | Understand? |
| 5891 | We did not receive him even civilly; I burst out laughing, and the boys went off in a roar, and we shouted at him,"Where them chop?" |
| 5891 | Well, we always have been, and they will say it anyhow; and where after all is the harm in it? |
| 5891 | Well, yes, but where are there not drawbacks? |
| 5891 | Whatever can this be? |
| 5891 | When white man blow dat ting and pussin sleep he kin tap wah make dem bwoy carn do so? |
| 5891 | Where on earth am I to go? |
| 5891 | Who cares for hotels now? |
| 5891 | Why do you not make it with something finer?" |
| 5891 | Would you take the sardines or the pocket- handkerchiefs? |
| 5891 | You may say, Why not bring home these things in their raw state? |
| 5891 | You white men will say,"Why go on believing in him then?" |
| 5891 | but where''s Agonjo? |
| 5891 | or that a well- matured bush trader has not? |
| 5891 | or what other air there is but night air, heavy with malarious exhalations, available then? |
| 5891 | very good as far as it goes, but where is your real estate? |
| 1039 | Are you a doctor of medicine and a''doutor mathematico''too? 1039 But what about the missionaries?" |
| 1039 | But who will take us across, if you do not? |
| 1039 | Did your forefathers know of a future judgment? |
| 1039 | Do n''t you see this? |
| 1039 | Have these hunters, who come so far and work so hard, no meat at home? |
| 1039 | How can the irons spin, weave, and print so beautifully? |
| 1039 | How did I wander? 1039 Is it fierceness to kill boys?" |
| 1039 | Is that hair? 1039 Is that me?" |
| 1039 | Is this the way you go? |
| 1039 | Now,added they to my men,"how can you Makololo trade with these''Mermen''? |
| 1039 | Oh no,replied he;"it is the Barimo( gods or departed spirits), who have called a picho; do n''t you see they have the Lord( sun) in the centre?" |
| 1039 | Oh yes,said he;"where is she? |
| 1039 | Suppose one went for water, would the others see if he were kidnapped? |
| 1039 | Suppose we went north,I said,"would you come?" |
| 1039 | They have wandered in order to be destroyed, and what can they do without shields among so many? |
| 1039 | We can all swim: who carried the white man across the river but himself? |
| 1039 | What right has your government to set up that large glass at the Cape to look after us behind the Cashan Mountains? |
| 1039 | What shall we put on? 1039 Whence does this come?" |
| 1039 | Where are you going? 1039 Who refuses?" |
| 1039 | Why do you pass me? 1039 Why do you speak of death?" |
| 1039 | Will not the Queen listen to me? |
| 1039 | Will you herd the cattle well? |
| 1039 | Yes; do n''t you see it is? |
| 1039 | (? |
| 1039 | --"And yet they come here, and endure so much thirst for the sake of this dry meat, none of which is equal to beef?" |
| 1039 | --Do you make butter, cheese, etc.? |
| 1039 | --Grapes, figs, or peaches? |
| 1039 | 26d 30''?) |
| 1039 | Addressing him with,"How ever did these shells come into these rocks?" |
| 1039 | And Sekwebu informed me that he had gone to this man''s house, and heard him saying to his wife,"Do you think that I would ever leave you?" |
| 1039 | And have the same hair? |
| 1039 | Are these the migratory birds of Europe, which return there to breed and rear their young? |
| 1039 | Are they of the same color as I am? |
| 1039 | At every fresh instance of liberality, Sekwebu said,"Did not I tell you that these people had hearts, while we were still at Linyanti?" |
| 1039 | But how is it that the natives, being so vastly superior in numbers to the Boers, do not rise and annihilate them? |
| 1039 | But my forefathers were living at the same time yours were; and how is it that they did not send them word about these terrible things? |
| 1039 | Can it be that they have the power of combining the oxygen and hydrogen of their vegetable food by vital force so as to form water? |
| 1039 | Can they be the vestiges of traditions of animals which no longer exist? |
| 1039 | Can you enter into the sea, and tell them to come ashore?" |
| 1039 | Did the great Niger expedition turn back when near such a desirable position for its stricken and prostrate members? |
| 1039 | Do n''t I see the comrade of Sebituane? |
| 1039 | Do n''t I see the father of Sekeletu?" |
| 1039 | Do n''t you know that they have mouths like other people?" |
| 1039 | Do you grow wheat? |
| 1039 | Do you want to have it all to yourself?" |
| 1039 | Does the passage of a few such aerolites through the atmosphere to the earth by day cause thunder without clouds? |
| 1039 | Have they a guardian spirit over them? |
| 1039 | How is it that you, who have a book that tells you about him, do not come forward at once to pay this chief tribute like every one else?" |
| 1039 | How much farther do these high ridges extend? |
| 1039 | I remarked to my men,"Did you ever hear such a fool?" |
| 1039 | I replied that I was unable to purchase a mill, when he instantly rejoined,"Why not take ivory to buy it?" |
| 1039 | I smiled and said,"Yes; do n''t you see it is?" |
| 1039 | I usually got rid of the last question by putting another:"Is it not better to have children with a wife, than to have children without a wife?" |
| 1039 | If asked his age, he answers by putting another question,"Does a man remember when he was born?" |
| 1039 | If her family was to be suspected of dealing in evil charms, why were Masiko''s people not to be thought guilty of leaving the same in her hut? |
| 1039 | If you wish me to leave off my medicines, why continue your own? |
| 1039 | In passing through the woods I for the first time heard the bird called Mokwa reza, or"Son- in- law of God"( Micropogon sulphuratus? |
| 1039 | In these assemblies great freedom of speech is allowed; and on this occasion one of the old diviners said,"Where is he taking you to? |
| 1039 | Irritated at last, he uttered some words of impatience, when another man sprang at him, exclaiming,"How dare you curse my''Mama''?" |
| 1039 | Is a man not as much a domestic animal as a dog? |
| 1039 | Is death pleasant, then? |
| 1039 | Is she not pretty?" |
| 1039 | Is this the way you go?" |
| 1039 | It is connected with another named Kalagwe( Garague? |
| 1039 | L.)?" |
| 1039 | M. D. Could you make it rain on one spot and not on another? |
| 1039 | M. D. So you really believe that you can command the clouds? |
| 1039 | On asking if Matiamvo did not know he was a man, and would be judged, in company with those he destroyed, by a Lord who is no respector of persons? |
| 1039 | One very intelligent man among them asked,"If he should make a canoe, and take it down the river to the Makololo, would he get a cow for it?" |
| 1039 | Poor Sekwebu looked at me when these terrible seas broke over, and said,"Is this the way you go? |
| 1039 | She said this with an air as if the inference must be drawn by even a stupid white man:"I know how to manage, do n''t I?" |
| 1039 | Slavery and immorality have here done their work; nowhere else does the European name stand at so low an ebb; but what can be expected? |
| 1039 | The bar may be said to be formed by two series of sand- banks; that running from the eastern point runs diagonally across( opposite?) |
| 1039 | The land is so fertile as to produce almost any( thing?) |
| 1039 | The thought flashed across my mind,"What if your gun misses fire?" |
| 1039 | Their usual exclamation was"Ga ba na pelu"( They have no heart); and they added, with reference to the slaves,"Why do they let them?" |
| 1039 | They are not allowed to speak; though on one occasion a man, feeling his wrist held too tightly, said,"Hold me gently, ca n''t you? |
| 1039 | They are reported to contain great mineral wealth; gold and copper being found in the range, as also COAL(?). |
| 1039 | They brought cattle, sheep, goats, and dogs; why not the horse, the delight of savage hordes? |
| 1039 | They said,"Is that hair? |
| 1039 | This is a point of so much interest in that country that the first question we ask of passers by is,"Have you had water?" |
| 1039 | This is so unusual an occurrence, when the precaution is taken to coast along the shore, that my men exclaimed,"Is the beast mad?" |
| 1039 | This struck a chord in his bosom, and he said,"Oh yes; where is she, and where is Robert?" |
| 1039 | Two others had sent forward notice of their approach from another quarter( the west); could it be Barth or Krapf? |
| 1039 | What can Mpende say to refusing him a passage?" |
| 1039 | What can this fellow mean by his thanks and talk about water? |
| 1039 | What guilt have I, that you pass without looking at me?" |
| 1039 | When we became a little familiar, the questions put were rather amusing:"Is it common for missionaries to be doctors?" |
| 1039 | Where do these ants get their moisture? |
| 1039 | Where is Robert?" |
| 1039 | Who ever thought of making trial of starvation? |
| 1039 | Why does Darfur not give rise to great rivers, like Londa and the country east of it? |
| 1039 | Would n''t a thrashing bring him to his senses again?" |
| 1039 | said he,"did you ever taste white ants?" |
| 1039 | the first inquiry a native puts to a fellow- countryman is,"Where is the rain?" |
| 1039 | then, turning to Sekwebu, he asked,"Do you think I would leave this pretty woman? |
| 1039 | what will God say when you appear before him?" |
| 1039 | you prefer dying at home to dying in the field, do you? |
| 39615 | ''What do you do here?'' 39615 And do they allow you to kiss their hands?" |
| 39615 | And how long have you been travelling about? |
| 39615 | And if you behave ill,said Bruce,"what do you think you will deserve?" |
| 39615 | And was it sport, sir,said Bruce,"when you said you would send me the flesh of elephants to eat? |
| 39615 | Are the women handsome in your country? |
| 39615 | Are you really sincere in what you say,said I,"and will you have no after excuses?" |
| 39615 | But do you know,said Sittina,"that no man ever kissed my hand but you?" |
| 39615 | Christian,said he, taking him by the hand,"what dost thou at such a time in such a country?" |
| 39615 | Confound Sidi Ali el Genowi,said Bruce,"you beast, can not you give me a rational answer?" |
| 39615 | Do you think I shall read all these letters? 39615 Have you companions,"says the soldier,"from such a country?" |
| 39615 | I apprehend, sir,said Bruce, with great firmness, and at the same time drawing away his hand,"you do not know me?" |
| 39615 | Sir,said Bruce( who had a very important object which he was desirous to gain),"may I beg leave to say two words to you? |
| 39615 | This being so,said the bey, with great looks of complacency,"what is it in my power to do for you? |
| 39615 | What are the monks? |
| 39615 | ''And so you know Sacala and Geesh?'' |
| 39615 | ''And why did you say this?'' |
| 39615 | ''Are those before us Ababdé?'' |
| 39615 | ''Are you wanting a passage to India?'' |
| 39615 | ''How is it, then,''says she,''that you do not believe in miracles?'' |
| 39615 | ''I believe so,''says she, smiling;''but is there any harm in believing too much, and is not there great danger in believing too little?'' |
| 39615 | ''Sir,''says he,''are you an Englishman?'' |
| 39615 | ''Tell me first,''said I,''who is that you have before?'' |
| 39615 | ''What is the matter?'' |
| 39615 | ''You surely are sick, you should be in your bed; have you been long sick?'' |
| 39615 | ( How do you do, merchant?) |
| 39615 | After he had taken two whiffs of his pipe, and when the slave had left the room,"Are you prepared?" |
| 39615 | Again the bey asked,"Whether Constantinople would be burned or taken?" |
| 39615 | Again, if anything was to befall you, what should I answer to the king and the iteghe? |
| 39615 | And who is Waragna Fasil? |
| 39615 | Are you not afraid, so thinly attended, to venture upon these long and dangerous voyages?" |
| 39615 | But how has it fared with the body, that frail companion of the mind, during this weary journey? |
| 39615 | But who are you?'' |
| 39615 | But you want payment, do you?" |
| 39615 | Did you ever know a Christian eat any sort of flesh that a Mohammedan killed?" |
| 39615 | Does your highness imagine it difficult for a party to reach the Nile( Niger) through the dominions of your friend the King of Bornou? |
| 39615 | From whence is he come?'' |
| 39615 | He asked,''How?'' |
| 39615 | He had time, wind, water, a vessel, and provisions, and what could he have asked for more? |
| 39615 | He laughed, and said,''Ay, why not? |
| 39615 | He looked steadfastly at me, saying, half under his breath,''Endet nawi? |
| 39615 | He offered them the salute of"Salum Alicum,"with which at first they were offended, asking him what, as a Turk, he had to do there? |
| 39615 | How can that be?" |
| 39615 | How does the Nimmer? |
| 39615 | However, I pricked up courage, and, putting on the best appearance I could, said to them steadily, without trepidation,''What men are these before?'' |
| 39615 | I answered,''Is this the order in which your majesty means to engage?'' |
| 39615 | I ask you, where is Ibrahim, your sheikh''s son?'' |
| 39615 | I was perfectly silent when he cried,''Well, what do you say to us now, Yagoube?'' |
| 39615 | In a most violent passion, the man threw away his pipe, and, seizing a stick, exclaimed,"Who am I, then? |
| 39615 | In short, had not human curiosity been pushed too far, and had it made any other discovery than of its own weakness? |
| 39615 | Is there anything surprising in all this?" |
| 39615 | Now a question naturally arises, Which of these two rivers is the principal stream? |
| 39615 | Now, pray, shum, tell me what is your business with me; and why have you followed me beyond your government, which is bounded by that river?'' |
| 39615 | Should we fight?" |
| 39615 | Tell me how my cruisers are to know all these different writings and seals?" |
| 39615 | The answer, after some pause, was,''They are men;''and they looked very queerly, as if they meant to ask each other''What sort of spark is this?'' |
| 39615 | The first question which the naybe asked Bruce was,"What the comet meant, and why it had appeared?" |
| 39615 | The king asked him, in a condoling tone,"What ailed him?" |
| 39615 | They answered me, two or three of them at once,''that it was all very well; what should they do? |
| 39615 | Upon my coming near them, the eldest put her hand to her mouth, and kissed it, saying, at the same time, in very vulgar Arabic,''Kifhalek howaja?'' |
| 39615 | What have you to do with the comet?" |
| 39615 | When he was asked,"What could he do against so many?" |
| 39615 | When will you see this tried?'' |
| 39615 | When will you set out? |
| 39615 | Where are your piastres?" |
| 39615 | Where is Ibrahim?'' |
| 39615 | Who are those of my people that have authority to murder and take prisoners while I am here? |
| 39615 | Who commands you here? |
| 39615 | Who is that? |
| 39615 | Who knows, at this moment, if the king is in safety, or how long I shall be so? |
| 39615 | Whose heart has ne''er within him burn''d, As HOME his footsteps he has turn''d, From wandering on a foreign strand?" |
| 39615 | Why, then, should"a Briton"insist on carrying his fleecy hosiery to the Line? |
| 39615 | Will Metical call this safety? |
| 39615 | Will he not be subject to much troublesome inquiry on that head? |
| 39615 | Will you come to see me? |
| 39615 | Will your highness grant protection to a party wishing to proceed that way? |
| 39615 | You are a stranger now where I command; you are my father''s stranger likewise, and this is a double obligation upon me: what shall I do?" |
| 39615 | You are come hither by a thousand miracles, and after this, will you tempt God and go back? |
| 39615 | You did not learn that language in Habesh?'' |
| 39615 | a girl, a woman, a pagan dog, like yourselves? |
| 39615 | are you not his slaves? |
| 39615 | are you raving?'' |
| 39615 | are you very well?'' |
| 39615 | bogo nawi?'' |
| 39615 | did I not tell you this would happen for murdering the aga?''" |
| 39615 | do you imagine that I came this journey alone?" |
| 39615 | exclaimed Bruce,"I can not speak for surprise; what is the meaning of your having left Gondar to come into this wilderness?" |
| 39615 | exclaimed he, with a pretended surprise;''do you know what you are saying? |
| 39615 | exclaimed one of the company, putting his hand to his knife,"if the naybe wished to murder you, could he not do it here this minute?" |
| 39615 | he said;"have you brought the money along with you?" |
| 39615 | repeats he again:''are you to get there, do you think, in a twelvemonth, or more, or when?'' |
| 39615 | said I;''are they from Sheikh Amner?'' |
| 39615 | said the king;''you will not persuade me that with a tallow candle you can kill a man or a horse?'' |
| 39615 | said they,''are you Yagoube, our physician and our friend? |
| 39615 | should they give themselves up to the Bishareen, and be murdered? |
| 39615 | this in the king''s presence?'' |
| 39615 | to- morrow?" |
| 39615 | was there any other way of escaping?'' |
| 39615 | where is that to be found? |
| 39615 | which, in Amharic, is,''How do you do? |
| 15224 | And what did you reply? |
| 15224 | And what is the situation now? |
| 15224 | Are those Boers or English, outa? |
| 15224 | Build a line without material? 15224 But do n''t you think it would be better to join a commando and help in making an organised resistance? |
| 15224 | But honestly, what is your real opinion of those who desert their country in her hour of need? |
| 15224 | But suppose the animal dies? |
| 15224 | Can you give me anything to eat? |
| 15224 | Can you remain there for a while? |
| 15224 | Could you see when your bullet went home? |
| 15224 | Did your commando lose many men? |
| 15224 | Do you advise me to try? |
| 15224 | Do you know what that is? |
| 15224 | Do you mean to disobey the orders of the Government? |
| 15224 | Do you think they catch children like him? |
| 15224 | Father, can I go too? |
| 15224 | Go away,said one of the Boers,"what do you mean by staring at the man like that? |
| 15224 | Good evening,I said in English,"are there any Boers about?" |
| 15224 | Good morning,I said;"rather early, is n''t it?" |
| 15224 | Had I not better remain and watch their movements? |
| 15224 | Have you money enough? 15224 Hello, is that you? |
| 15224 | How dare you be guilty of such sacrilege? |
| 15224 | How did you feel during the fight? |
| 15224 | How now, Harry? |
| 15224 | How was that possible? |
| 15224 | Is this the road to Vrede? |
| 15224 | Oh, you''re the Kafir chief, are you? |
| 15224 | Something happened up there last night? |
| 15224 | Sure? |
| 15224 | The unexpected, I suppose? |
| 15224 | They have not been here yet? |
| 15224 | This is a bit different from old Tyneside, ai n''t it? |
| 15224 | Well, ca n''t you answer? |
| 15224 | Well,he said, calling me by name,"where do you come from?" |
| 15224 | What ails him? |
| 15224 | What do we owe you for the forage? |
| 15224 | What do you think the confounded English have had the cheek to do? |
| 15224 | What for, uncle? |
| 15224 | What is it? 15224 What news?" |
| 15224 | What''s the matter, my son,asked the astonished father,"does n''t he like his khakis?" |
| 15224 | Where are your sentries? |
| 15224 | Where''s the Standerton laager? |
| 15224 | Which is the road to Colenso? |
| 15224 | Whither would you flee? |
| 15224 | Who is in charge? |
| 15224 | Who struck that match? |
| 15224 | Who will take in ammunition? |
| 15224 | Whose are those you are using now? |
| 15224 | Why do n''t you ask the President''s party for food? 15224 Why not, my lad?" |
| 15224 | Why? |
| 15224 | Will I? 15224 You mean us to act like the dervishes at Omdurman? |
| 15224 | You noticed that soldier lying behind the antheap, a hole in his forehead? 15224 Your husband is not back yet?" |
| 15224 | ), the Jansen transformed into Johnson, and the Volschenk merged into Foolskunk? |
| 15224 | A burgher woke up one night to find himself being roughly shaken and someone shouting in his ear--"What are you doing? |
| 15224 | And all for what? |
| 15224 | And cousins?" |
| 15224 | And mine, I say, and mine; three they are, boys yet-- what, no more? |
| 15224 | And perhaps, after all, if we ride steadily, who knows? |
| 15224 | And where are your arms? |
| 15224 | And where the devil are you running away to in such a hurry?" |
| 15224 | Are we, who have lost sons, brothers, friends-- are we, I say, to think of our property now? |
| 15224 | Are you Winburg?" |
| 15224 | But honestly, why do n''t you come in and surrender?" |
| 15224 | But how? |
| 15224 | But what can one say of those"oprechte[A] Afrikaners"who followed the same procedure? |
| 15224 | But what-- how comes he here? |
| 15224 | Ca n''t you load it up for me as far as Lindley?" |
| 15224 | Can you sell us a few bundles of forage?" |
| 15224 | Can you supply me with a horse?" |
| 15224 | Coming along?" |
| 15224 | Deserted the town? |
| 15224 | Devons? |
| 15224 | Do n''t you hear the alarm?" |
| 15224 | Do n''t you know any better than to insult a helpless prisoner?" |
| 15224 | Do you mind remaining three or four days longer?" |
| 15224 | Does not one old lady still bear the scars of the nineteen stabs she received on that day? |
| 15224 | First came the question_ in English_--"Where are they?" |
| 15224 | For what did these poor Lancashire lads know or care about the merits of the war? |
| 15224 | Got a blanket?" |
| 15224 | Have you ever steered an extremely willing young thing through her first waltz? |
| 15224 | His gun stands in the bucket; we can shoot him, but then, the others? |
| 15224 | How could I argue? |
| 15224 | How did you like the hell fire from the Nordenfeldt?" |
| 15224 | How did you like the little bits o''lyddite yesterday?" |
| 15224 | How much? |
| 15224 | Is it any man''s duty to kill and be killed without knowing why? |
| 15224 | It was plainly my duty to protest, but what could I do, a stranger, a mere youth? |
| 15224 | My sons, do they live? |
| 15224 | Of course we made a very poor show; what can you expect? |
| 15224 | Of what people may cousin be?" |
| 15224 | On seeing me, the leader reined in and shouted--"What the devil is this? |
| 15224 | Responsible? |
| 15224 | Sha n''t I go and try to tap it?" |
| 15224 | Speaking to an old campaigner on the subject, he said--"Tell me candidly, how do you feel?" |
| 15224 | The Smits who became Smith, the Louw that suddenly shrank into Lowe( could he sink lower? |
| 15224 | The gun found buried in your yard; your father''s work? |
| 15224 | The men''s hearts grow light as they polish their rifles, for are not they going to behold their dear ones soon? |
| 15224 | Then what are they fighting for? |
| 15224 | Then,"Where is Piet De Wet?" |
| 15224 | Thoroughly roused by his bullying tone, I retorted--"And who the devil are you? |
| 15224 | Trying to fool us, are you?" |
| 15224 | Was it you, Jantje?" |
| 15224 | We do not take the_ spoor_, we slip across the veld; my mount treads gingerly, but what odds? |
| 15224 | What are you doing here?" |
| 15224 | What can have happened? |
| 15224 | What commando is this?" |
| 15224 | What did John Bull think of all these precious acquisitions to his family? |
| 15224 | What do you think happened?" |
| 15224 | What else can you be but cursed spies, riding about the country like this?" |
| 15224 | What is one horse more or less?" |
| 15224 | What is the secret of his success? |
| 15224 | What means all this commotion? |
| 15224 | What were those lines of Bret Harte''s about the humming of the battle bees?... |
| 15224 | What''s the news?" |
| 15224 | What''s up?" |
| 15224 | What, the others gone already? |
| 15224 | Whatever will become of us?" |
| 15224 | Where are those ten guns?" |
| 15224 | Where is our commando? |
| 15224 | Where''s the enemy? |
| 15224 | Where''s the foe, quick? |
| 15224 | Who are you?" |
| 15224 | Who can describe it all? |
| 15224 | Who can tell what regrets for the past were felt by the aged couple?--what hopes for the future by the helpless lasses? |
| 15224 | Who has arrived?" |
| 15224 | Why are you leaving already? |
| 15224 | Why was the burgher guard absent? |
| 15224 | Why? |
| 15224 | Why?" |
| 15224 | Wo n''t you join us at supper?" |
| 15224 | Would he exchange it for ours, and take something to boot? |
| 15224 | Yes? |
| 15224 | You may kill a few of the enemy by hanging about in twos and threes, but what difference will that make in the end?" |
| 15224 | Your brother, is he well? |
| 16463 | Do you know these fellows? |
| 16463 | For how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his gods? |
| 16463 | Has our attempt been a complete failure? 16463 Have you permission to leave your farm?" |
| 16463 | Well, and where do you want to put them on? |
| 16463 | What is that hard thing in your pocket? |
| 16463 | Why,asked Fouchà ©,"do n''t you capture this fellow with his raiding bands? |
| 16463 | ''I wish politicians could see their handiwork,''''What can God in Heaven think of this sight?''" |
| 16463 | ''What o''clock is it?'' |
| 16463 | After my acquittal I was advanced to the honour(?) |
| 16463 | And his broad chin, does it not reveal the man of tenacity and endurance? |
| 16463 | And how did General De Wet fare when he crossed the Orange River on the 11th of February, 1901? |
| 16463 | And how did the officers who had to subscribe to these terms of peace feel? |
| 16463 | And the Boer women, who are the very embodiment of liberty itself, were they less enthusiastic and determined to be free than their husbands and sons? |
| 16463 | And these pioneers, whence came they, and what is their origin? |
| 16463 | And your conscience, is that not tarnished with the blood of men, women and children, who fell in Freedom''s holy war? |
| 16463 | Anxiously we asked ourselves, Whither now? |
| 16463 | Are these not qualities which recommend themselves as worthy of admiration? |
| 16463 | Are they not indications of much that is noble and good, even though the foe be vanquished? |
| 16463 | Are you not ashamed to slander your own people in this way? |
| 16463 | Are your hands not stained with the blood of your countrymen? |
| 16463 | But are they not found among all nations? |
| 16463 | But asked at the same time,"Do tell me, are you really an Englishman? |
| 16463 | But what about the women- folk, if the country is to be cleared? |
| 16463 | Can the mountain torrent rushing down the valley be stemmed in its onward course? |
| 16463 | Can we surprise the enemy? |
| 16463 | Could the English have given the Boers a better testimonial of gallant behaviour than these? |
| 16463 | Did Lord Roberts think that the occupation of Pretoria would terminate hostilities? |
| 16463 | Did they merit such treatment? |
| 16463 | Did they not hit upon the right photo? |
| 16463 | Do not such engagements prove that the Boers could hold their own not only behind stones and in trenches but also on the plain? |
| 16463 | Do not the English pride themselves in possessing these very qualities, qualities which, they say, have made them a great and mighty nation? |
| 16463 | Does not his broad forehead indicate thoughtfulness? |
| 16463 | Does this often happen in the history of wars-- a foe lashed by its own weapons? |
| 16463 | For were we not encouraged by our recent success, and was there not every chance of achieving another? |
| 16463 | Had the Colonists no claim to protection? |
| 16463 | Had the prosecutor not sounded them beforehand by asking them to point out the prisoner''s photo among a number of other photos? |
| 16463 | Has this not been done in certain cases? |
| 16463 | Hast thou verily extinguished by force the highest and holiest ambitions of a free- born people? |
| 16463 | Have not sentences of death, confiscation of property, and imprisonment been passed on the evidences of such witnesses? |
| 16463 | Have not the British forces sustained some of their greatest losses when these untrained peasants led the charge? |
| 16463 | He was asked,''Is that Kritzinger?'' |
| 16463 | How can he then be responsible for the shooting of these natives when he was not at the farm? |
| 16463 | How couldst thou have torn so mercilessly the noble passions and aspirations of being free and independent from the Boer hearts? |
| 16463 | How did Jan Louw identify Kritzinger? |
| 16463 | How enthusiastically(?) |
| 16463 | How has this to be accounted for? |
| 16463 | How? |
| 16463 | I am glad it has been brought out, for it goes to show nothing against the character of the accused, but it tells in his favour, for, what do we find? |
| 16463 | If 300 Britishers were to have entered the two republics, would they have proceeded very far? |
| 16463 | If the British had the right to stay in the Republics, why should we not tarry awhile in the Colony? |
| 16463 | If wounded officers, entrusted to your care, are treated thus, what must the private expect?" |
| 16463 | In short, this kind(?) |
| 16463 | In so doing have they committed the unpardonable sin? |
| 16463 | Is a man who bears such a character likely to have committed the crimes charged against him? |
| 16463 | Is it because the colonists enjoy such great liberty(?) |
| 16463 | Is it too much to plead for a general amnesty? |
| 16463 | Is this not conclusive evidence that they must have seen and known the prisoner? |
| 16463 | It seems a barbarous process, but is not war, at its very best, barbarous, brutal, and unbefitting civilized nations? |
| 16463 | Kritzinger is supposed to have said to the boy:''Did you see those boys? |
| 16463 | Must he then be condemned without it? |
| 16463 | My secretary, who had never before been in such a circle, asked me:"Now, General, what now? |
| 16463 | Now what is the truth in regard to them? |
| 16463 | Now when any one is hungry, and people will neither give nor sell, what else can he do than help himself? |
| 16463 | Now, sir, what proof have we of that being so in this case? |
| 16463 | O, if to fight for... commonweal Were piety in thine, it is in these.... Wilt thou draw near the nature of the Gods? |
| 16463 | One English writer says:"What glory shall a mighty empire win from a victory over 15,000 farmers? |
| 16463 | Or will there be mercy even for these? |
| 16463 | Peeping out at the door, he asked with tremulous voice,"What do you want?" |
| 16463 | Pretorius, who posed as an English officer, asked Mr. B.,"Where are the Boers?" |
| 16463 | Rest? |
| 16463 | Retreat? |
| 16463 | Shall we succeed or not? |
| 16463 | Shall we succeed? |
| 16463 | Surely the odds were already great enough-- why then adopt blacks? |
| 16463 | Surrender? |
| 16463 | Surrender? |
| 16463 | The horses, saddles, bridles, rifles and bandoliers, where were they? |
| 16463 | The latter, pointing to certain ridges in the distance, said in rather broken English,"Do you see those kopjes yonder? |
| 16463 | The two men we had sent ahead-- what became of them? |
| 16463 | Then, indeed, the darkness seemed tangible Who shall number the tears shed on that day-- tears of men, women, and even children? |
| 16463 | Those that came back, what did they find? |
| 16463 | To the question,"Guilty or not?" |
| 16463 | Van der Walt said to me,"Do you see that man in front, riding on the large blue horse? |
| 16463 | Was it fear that kept me awake? |
| 16463 | Was it quite prudent on the part of the British to tempt them to rear their children in bitter hatred of the English race? |
| 16463 | Was it red earth, or was it the blood of friend or foe that coloured the water? |
| 16463 | Was it the fault of the Colonists that they were placed in such an awkward position? |
| 16463 | Was it their fault? |
| 16463 | Was it then arrogance and vainglory which prompted them to offer battle to one of the great Powers of the world? |
| 16463 | We do not marvel at this, for are they not formed of that stuff of which martyrs have been made in bygone years? |
| 16463 | Were they not prosecuted after our departure for welcoming and receiving their kith and kin? |
| 16463 | What about the faults and defects of the Boer? |
| 16463 | What are their main characteristics? |
| 16463 | What if a prisoner does not possess the means to secure legal defence? |
| 16463 | What if they refuse to surrender? |
| 16463 | What is our next move?" |
| 16463 | What is that deep rumbling in the distance? |
| 16463 | What is their significance? |
| 16463 | What must be done? |
| 16463 | What then were their reasons for risking their very lives in a cause which might perhaps fail? |
| 16463 | What was it? |
| 16463 | What was the stimulus and inspiration of the British forces? |
| 16463 | What will be the issue? |
| 16463 | What would one expect? |
| 16463 | What would the English have done if subjected to such treatment? |
| 16463 | When they reached the Boer scouts the two burghers had already captured(?) |
| 16463 | Whither? |
| 16463 | Who goes there?'' |
| 16463 | Who shall describe the anxiety of such moments? |
| 16463 | Who then shall adequately depict the misery and woe which has entered so many homes since the first shot was fired in South Africa? |
| 16463 | Who, then, are these men and women who so stubbornly resisted British power and supremacy for such a long period under such great disadvantages? |
| 16463 | Why could I not sleep? |
| 16463 | Why not engage them? |
| 16463 | Why trek again in the bitter cold at midnight?" |
| 16463 | Will that happy day ever dawn, or is South Africa doomed to be a land of discord? |
| 16463 | Will that not lessen the intense race- hatred between two peoples destined to live in the same land? |
| 16463 | and share in so many privileges? |
| 16463 | brother, national scout, who may be reading this, do you not regret and lament the unhappy part of traitor? |
| 16463 | so much-- their homes, their beloved families, their possessions and their lives? |
| 16463 | something in the darkness-- what may that be? |

| 42228 | But yourself? |
| 42228 | But,he continued,"how long start will you give me?" |
| 42228 | Did you eat meat to- day? |
| 42228 | Do you mean to tell me that that black fellow can see spoor going at this pace and over such ground as we are now on? |
| 42228 | Do you think he will be able to track them? |
| 42228 | Fast, is it? |
| 42228 | First, why did the chief attack us? 42228 Halt, who goes there?" |
| 42228 | How on earth does he know that? |
| 42228 | If so, what then? |
| 42228 | Is it not written,I said,"''He that lendeth to the poor giveth to the Lord''? |
| 42228 | Is your head well above water, and can you hang on till I get help from the fort? |
| 42228 | Look for you? |
| 42228 | Lost in the bush? |
| 42228 | Now, what made you come here? |
| 42228 | Sure, and do n''t I know that? |
| 42228 | Tracks? |
| 42228 | Well, and whose fault is that now? 42228 What do you mean? |
| 42228 | What have they been doing to you to capsize you in this fashion, and why do n''t you take water with your pongello? |
| 42228 | What have you given the colonel? |
| 42228 | What the deuce have you been up to, Mike? |
| 42228 | What''s that? |
| 42228 | Where are they? |
| 42228 | Who has been here? 42228 Who the devil has been here, you drunken blackguard?" |
| 42228 | Why, Davy, what''s the matter? |
| 42228 | Why, what''s gone wrong with you? |
| 42228 | Will they become converted and join the Hau Haus? |
| 42228 | Will you try some, sir? |
| 42228 | Word of honour? |
| 42228 | Again I not pointed him out the dangers he ran in attacking a Christian? |
| 42228 | Again, how did he escape my search and that of other parties who had looked for him? |
| 42228 | And were we not responsible for the honour of it? |
| 42228 | And what greater calamity was possible to mortal man than to have an obscene lizard grow out of his hand? |
| 42228 | And, above all, why did not a lion skoff him? |
| 42228 | Another thing, what were they doing there? |
| 42228 | Are you much hurt?" |
| 42228 | Are you one?" |
| 42228 | But then why, O Te Parione, did he forbid us food and water? |
| 42228 | But, then, what will not some men risk for notoriety? |
| 42228 | By the way, what is the strength of your invading force?" |
| 42228 | Could I not give him some sound advice? |
| 42228 | Could he not be allowed to sleep longer? |
| 42228 | Did you imbibe the faith?" |
| 42228 | Do n''t you hear the row the boys are making inspanning, or see the river in front of you?" |
| 42228 | Do n''t you see the waggons? |
| 42228 | Do n''t you see you are on the road? |
| 42228 | Do you mind taking him with you? |
| 42228 | Do you want work of that sort?" |
| 42228 | Had I not assured him that the mana of the white man''s God was far stronger than the mana of his pagan deities? |
| 42228 | Had he believed me and taken my advice? |
| 42228 | Had he brought his dress out with him? |
| 42228 | Had it not knocked him over and over again, and that with the peaceful end of it? |
| 42228 | Had it not made him see more stars in a few minutes than he had ever before seen in his whole life? |
| 42228 | Had not the Waikatos lent us their pah to live in? |
| 42228 | Have you removed anything from it?" |
| 42228 | He was game to lead, were the twenty- five game to follow? |
| 42228 | How could we give it up? |
| 42228 | How could we give up the pah? |
| 42228 | How dare you grin over my shoulder like that?" |
| 42228 | I jumped forward and seized him, saying:"What''s the matter with you? |
| 42228 | If we had prevented you from obtaining food, how could you have continued to fight?" |
| 42228 | If you had fallen three days ago where would you have been now?" |
| 42228 | It was clear that the first thing to be done was to get the natives to come back to their kainga; but how? |
| 42228 | Long odds, my gentle reader? |
| 42228 | My friend was raving mad, and wanted me at once to alarm my troopers, but I said:"No; you''d got your gun with you just now, why did you not use it?" |
| 42228 | No; had they not seen the beast come out of my hand at the very moment I was relating my dream? |
| 42228 | Now I hold pen instead of carbine and revolver, but why should memories of the old days pass away? |
| 42228 | Now was that Hau Hau, blood- stained brute as he undoubtedly was, a martyr or only a bally fool? |
| 42228 | Now what in the name of Comus could Jack want with a wheelbarrow? |
| 42228 | Oh, how can you say that? |
| 42228 | Peering over, I could see nothing, so shouted:"Steve, are you much hurt?" |
| 42228 | Presently along''e comes, and sez''e to me, sez''e:''Brother, wherefore did you assault me while in the water?'' |
| 42228 | Stubbs, another of the Englishmen, was stabbed by a boy, and when he felt it was his death wound exclaimed:"Am I to be killed by a boy like you?" |
| 42228 | The General knew they had no water, then why did he risk the lives of his splendid men by ordering futile assaults? |
| 42228 | The man thereupon brought out the bottle from his haversack, and said to him:"Do you think this would do you any good, sir?" |
| 42228 | Then he cursed them with unction, but that succeeded no better, till at last, thoroughly angry, he shouted out:"Oh, you want a smash, do you? |
| 42228 | Then who was to blame? |
| 42228 | Then, turning to his people, he would say:"What is the use of this crying? |
| 42228 | True, I only had my sheath knife and fingers to eat with, but what of that? |
| 42228 | Was I not fighting in the Crimee with your honourable father before he was breeched? |
| 42228 | Was I spiteful? |
| 42228 | Was I, fool as I had been, to lose my head and run mad through the bush like an untrained new chum? |
| 42228 | Was he growing wings like a duck, or, perchance, fins like a fish? |
| 42228 | Was the river uncrossable? |
| 42228 | Was there no soda water? |
| 42228 | Was there not great danger from wild animals and snakes? |
| 42228 | We were thin, footsore, our legs torn, our kit in rags; but what mattered that? |
| 42228 | What are you doing here?" |
| 42228 | What became of his rifle, boots and clothes? |
| 42228 | What for did yer try to drown me?'' |
| 42228 | What had happened? |
| 42228 | What is the cause of this awful smell, and what have you been making such a row about?" |
| 42228 | What man dare make fun of, or render ridiculous, the dignity and majesty of the head chiefs of the Arawa tribe? |
| 42228 | What on earth use could the gift of tongues be to a man when there was not to be a single foreigner left in the country with whom to collogue? |
| 42228 | What then should be done with Pehi and his party? |
| 42228 | What was to be done? |
| 42228 | What was to be done? |
| 42228 | What will I do? |
| 42228 | What will I do?" |
| 42228 | What''s that you say? |
| 42228 | Where was he to sleep? |
| 42228 | Where, therefore, would be the fun if he could not kill his enemy, eat him, nor turn his bones into useful and ornamental articles? |
| 42228 | Why did they not go for me? |
| 42228 | Why now should I let these childish qualms assail me and funk shadows? |
| 42228 | Why? |
| 42228 | Will yez call on the blessed saints or not, ye contumacious blaggard?" |
| 42228 | Would I give it him? |
| 42228 | Would he do me a very great favour? |
| 42228 | a horse ca n''t understand you? |
| 42228 | he was a poor man, he had none; but would I not lend him the gun, just to shoot one Christian with? |
| 42228 | rifles, and that you will take three or four batteries of artillery, rockets, etc., and that a percentage of your natives will be armed with rifles?" |
| 42228 | tell me I was too small? |
| 8815 | And you, Flad, what do you say? |
| 8815 | But were you not also one of the party? |
| 8815 | Did not I tell you so? |
| 8815 | I? |
| 8815 | Nothing,replied Samuel;"are you not the master?" |
| 8815 | Of what use is it,they said,"fighting against your people? |
| 8815 | What is it? |
| 8815 | You donkey, why did you call me the son of a poor woman? 8815 A few days before his death he introduced him to Mr. Rassam, saying,Alamayou, why do you not bow to your father?" |
| 8815 | After we had been told to sit down, Theodore called his workmen before him, and asked them if he ought to get"kassa?" |
| 8815 | Are not my ancestors greater than his? |
| 8815 | Are you a consul?" |
| 8815 | Are you to dictate to me what I am to do? |
| 8815 | As soon as they arrived he asked,"Do you hear this wailing? |
| 8815 | At last he said to Samuel, who was interpreting,"What have you to say if I chain your friends?" |
| 8815 | But since then( to use his own words),"having heard that they have calumniated and hated me with the Turks, I said to myself, Can this be true? |
| 8815 | But what should be done? |
| 8815 | But what was it? |
| 8815 | But within, are they always words of love that fill the echoes of the dome? |
| 8815 | Did I ever show any desire to follow your creed?" |
| 8815 | Did not Mr. Rosenthal say that the English Government had laughed at his letter?" |
| 8815 | Did not the Hakeem keep his head uncovered? |
| 8815 | Did the English fight with the Ashantees? |
| 8815 | Did they conquer them? |
| 8815 | Did we know? |
| 8815 | Did you not come with a friendly letter from the Queen of England? |
| 8815 | Did you not see me? |
| 8815 | Do I not look after my wife? |
| 8815 | Do you believe that I would not have gone to meet your people, and asked them what they came into my country for? |
| 8815 | Do you want me to kill these white men, and cover Abyssinia with blood?" |
| 8815 | Does it mean that the English will help me to subdue my enemies, or does, it mean honourable treatment as a prisoner?" |
| 8815 | Fourthly,"Did he not give a letter to Consul Cameron for him to deliver to the Queen of England, and did not the Consul return without an answer? |
| 8815 | Had Theodore again changed his mind? |
| 8815 | Had we been imprudent enough openly to take his part, what would have become of us? |
| 8815 | Have I not bought you with money? |
| 8815 | He asked them,"Why did you wish to leave my country before you took leave of me?" |
| 8815 | He then addressed one of his chiefs, saying,"Can you watch these people in the tent?" |
| 8815 | He then asked Mr. Rassam whether he knew or not that Jerusalem belonged to him, and that the Abyssinian convent there had been seized by the Turks? |
| 8815 | He then asked me,"Do you know Arabic?" |
| 8815 | He then said,"Why did you not ask Mr. Rassam to bring you to me, and be reconciled before you left?" |
| 8815 | He was, it is true, still far away; but who could say? |
| 8815 | How many soldiers had they? |
| 8815 | How many were killed? |
| 8815 | I know you love but me; what is it if you stoop now and then to pick up some flowers, to beautify them by your breath?" |
| 8815 | I told you to reconcile me with them; why did you not do so?" |
| 8815 | If God made him great, can he not make me also great?" |
| 8815 | If we could directly run away we did so; but if perceived, we had to put on our blandest smile, bow to the rude inquiry,"How art thou? |
| 8815 | Imbued with a few European notions, he longed to obtain some of the advantages he had heard of: but how? |
| 8815 | In conclusion, his Majesty said, addressing himself to us"Do you want to be my masters? |
| 8815 | Is it like this? |
| 8815 | Is peace the only sound that issues from its walls? |
| 8815 | Is their country unhealthy? |
| 8815 | Is there anything concerning us?" |
| 8815 | It was twice translated, and at the conclusion of the second reading he asked, in a deliberate manner,"What does honourable treatment mean? |
| 8815 | Mr. Stern he said, smiling all the while,"O Kokab( Star), why have you plaited your hair?" |
| 8815 | Mr. Stern, and asked him,"Was it as a Christian, a heathen, or a Jew, that you abused me? |
| 8815 | Need I say that the expedition failed utterly? |
| 8815 | On our way to Kourata we had been asked indirectly by his servants whether we knew anything about boat- making? |
| 8815 | One day she said to her fickle lord, who felt rather astonished at her forbearance,"Why should I be jealous? |
| 8815 | Ras Engeddah said to him,"Are you a woman, to cry? |
| 8815 | Shortly after Cameron''s arrival Theodore sent several messages, asking,"Where is the answer to the letter I gave you? |
| 8815 | Shortly afterwards one of his servants brought us the following message:--"Who is that woman who sends her soldiers to fight against a king? |
| 8815 | So near liberty, were we again doomed to captivity or death? |
| 8815 | Some of the questions asked by his Majesty were, to say the least, childish:"Where are the prisoners? |
| 8815 | Tell me where you find in the Bible that a Christian ought to abuse? |
| 8815 | The following day, during the march, Theodore sent Samuel backwards and forwards with questions,--such as:"Is the American war over? |
| 8815 | The third question was,"Is it not true that the Egyptian railway was built by the English?" |
| 8815 | Then addressing the two I had met on the road, he said,"You are proud, are you? |
| 8815 | Theodore then ordered every one to retire, and having told Flad to sit down, asked him,"Have you seen the Queen?" |
| 8815 | Theodore then took the letter, and, tearing it to pieces, said:--"Who is that Napoleon? |
| 8815 | Theodore told him,"Why did not you know that I would be a father to your child? |
| 8815 | Theodore turned towards some of the Europeans that stood near him and said,"Did I ever inquire of you about your religion? |
| 8815 | Theodore was calm, asked them why they were so ungrateful, and why they wanted to run away? |
| 8815 | Theodore was coming--_qu''importe_? |
| 8815 | Theodore, who was reposing after indulging in deep potations, asked his attendant,"What is it?" |
| 8815 | Those who abused me to you, were they my enemies or yours? |
| 8815 | Was it not their joyous shouts that had scared away the rebel? |
| 8815 | Was not Merewether there? |
| 8815 | What do you know about such matters?" |
| 8815 | What does a beggar like you know about my affairs? |
| 8815 | What had occurred? |
| 8815 | What have I done, said I, that they should hate me, and treat me with animosity? |
| 8815 | What if two of his servants had run away? |
| 8815 | What is his religion?" |
| 8815 | What possible business can about 500 brokers have? |
| 8815 | What shall I do? |
| 8815 | What will it be when the whole English army comes? |
| 8815 | When you wrote your book, by whose authority did you do it? |
| 8815 | Who are you that you dare call yourselves''lords?'' |
| 8815 | Who was it told you evil things against me?" |
| 8815 | Why are your people so slow?" |
| 8815 | Why did the King of Dahomey kill so many of his subjects? |
| 8815 | Why did they not defend me? |
| 8815 | Why did they not take a better road? |
| 8815 | Why did you abase me?" |
| 8815 | Why did you go to my enemies the Turks? |
| 8815 | Why do you not kill me? |
| 8815 | Why have you given them fire- arms? |
| 8815 | Why have you not brought them to me? |
| 8815 | Why have you sent letters to the coast?" |
| 8815 | With such men as a Napier, a Staveley at the head of British troops, who could feel but contempt for petty vexations? |
| 8815 | Would they advance him a year''s tribute? |
| 8815 | but how can I? |
| 8815 | could they not provide more liberally for the wants of his army? |
| 8815 | have I not killed enough these two last days? |
| 8815 | they were unfaithful, and he was only too glad that they had left his amba; as for the arms lost, what did it matter? |
| 8815 | what have you come for?'' |
| 8815 | why did you not on reaching me shout out''Miserach''( good tidings)? |
| 8815 | why had not Damash and his men come back? |
| 16494 | ''"Sir Hercules Robinson: I presume you will not object to that continuing? |
| 16494 | ''Now,''asked His Honour triumphantly,''can you contradict that? |
| 16494 | ''Then,''said his British friend,''what is influence worth if it can not be used for good? |
| 16494 | ''Why should they be debarred from learning to read and write? |
| 16494 | *******''Complain to other Powers, and seek justice there? |
| 16494 | *******''Do you know what has recently happened in Turkey? |
| 16494 | *******''Whence has arisen that urgency to make an appeal for interference elsewhere? |
| 16494 | A member of the deputation said,''Surely, if we take the oath of allegiance, you will trust us?'' |
| 16494 | Advocate: Do you deny that you gave any indication or opinion as to what ought to be done with these men? |
| 16494 | Advocate: Do you positively swear that Commandant Cronjé specified the sentence of twenty- five lashes each? |
| 16494 | Advocate: He had every opportunity of knowing what took place and what was said? |
| 16494 | Advocate: He was present throughout the whole proceeding? |
| 16494 | Advocate: Well, Mr. Cronjé, I want to know which of you two the Court is to believe, you or Commandant Trichard? |
| 16494 | Again I ask what account is to be given to our descendants and what can be our hope in the future? |
| 16494 | And as there can only be schools if they are brought together in villages, why should they not be collected together?'' |
| 16494 | And besides who would benefit? |
| 16494 | And if this is done to an empire, will a little republic be excused when it misbehaves? |
| 16494 | And why should they want more power here all at once? |
| 16494 | And why should they worry and weary the burghers once more by asking them to decide upon Mr. Meyer''s motion? |
| 16494 | And would this be so miserable? |
| 16494 | Are these things necessary or are they calculated to irritate the feeling to breaking point? |
| 16494 | But as a matter of form you did not hear any evidence on her behalf? |
| 16494 | But at whose expense was this noble and generous act carried out? |
| 16494 | But can we be surprised if they hesitate to do so? |
| 16494 | But when we look to the debates of the last few years, what do we find? |
| 16494 | But whence this weakness? |
| 16494 | By whom should the waste places of the land, the vast areas which were without other occupants than a few roving Bushmen, be peopled? |
| 16494 | Can it be said that Mr. Kruger and his colleagues contemplated it or would have dared to avow the intention if it were ever entertained? |
| 16494 | Can there be said to be influence when it can not be used at all?'' |
| 16494 | Can they gather any hope from that? |
| 16494 | Cronjé then replied,''Then I must believe you upon your word that you have no flag?'' |
| 16494 | Did he want help? |
| 16494 | Did it mean to send a force out? |
| 16494 | Did you not guess at all?'' |
| 16494 | Do you approve? |
| 16494 | Do you positively deny that you said anything about twenty- five lashes? |
| 16494 | Dr. Coster then altered his tactics and asked,''Had you no opinions on the subject? |
| 16494 | Dr. Jameson made no comment further than to say,''It is too late now,''and then asked the question,''Where are the troops?'' |
| 16494 | Gentlemen, I am anxiously groping for the light; but what, in the face of this, am I to advise my people? |
| 16494 | Has that appeal been made only by enemies of the State? |
| 16494 | He asked,''What is up here? |
| 16494 | He got no further however than saying to the witness,''You said you were a member of the Government Commission?'' |
| 16494 | How then could these petitioners have disobeyed it? |
| 16494 | I have stated plainly what our grievances are, and I shall answer with equal directness the question,''What do we want?'' |
| 16494 | Is it not probable that the deleted figures''2,000''in Colonel Rhodes''letter( see photograph) may account for some of the talk about 2,000 armed men? |
| 16494 | Is it surprising that people should want to know why? |
| 16494 | Is it then possible? |
| 16494 | Is it true? |
| 16494 | Is that fact alone not sufficient to warn us and to prove how unstatesmanlike our policy is? |
| 16494 | Is that so? |
| 16494 | Is there one man in this Raad who would accept the franchise on the same terms? |
| 16494 | Is this so? |
| 16494 | It is asked, What have they got to do with our position? |
| 16494 | Judge: His letter of complaint to you seemed sufficient? |
| 16494 | Judge: No answer, Mr. Cronjé? |
| 16494 | Judge: Then you merely gave these natives the right to appeal against the sentence of lashes after they should have received the lashes? |
| 16494 | Judge: You brought no evidence against her? |
| 16494 | Judge: You did not call upon Schoeman to produce any evidence against her? |
| 16494 | Judge: You did not give her any opportunity to bring evidence? |
| 16494 | Judge: You did not tell these officials to stay execution? |
| 16494 | Mr. JEPPE, in the course of his speech, said: Who are the people who now demand from us a reasonable extension of the franchise? |
| 16494 | Mr. WESSELS cross- examined the witness upon this point as follows:-- Advocate: I believe Commandant Trichard accompanied you on this commission? |
| 16494 | Mr. Wessels did not lose his opportunity,''You have stated,''he said,''that you are a Judge of the High Court?'' |
| 16494 | Now, Mr. Cronjé, did you notify Erasmus and Schoeman that they should stay execution of the sentence pending the hearing of any appeal? |
| 16494 | Now, tell me in a word, Is there any one thing that you require more than anything else, which we can help you to get?'' |
| 16494 | Old as the world is, has an attempt like ours ever succeeded for long? |
| 16494 | Shall we convert them into friends or shall we send them away empty, dissatisfied, embittered? |
| 16494 | Shall we say as a French king did that things will last our time, and after that we reck not the deluge? |
| 16494 | The CHAIRMAN: Will you keep order? |
| 16494 | The President answered merely by the question:''If a crisis should occur, on which side shall I find the Americans?'' |
| 16494 | The influence of advice has failed, dare you try the influence of repudiation?'' |
| 16494 | The only drawback to our profound intellectual delight in the parable is the question,''Who will be the tortoise?'' |
| 16494 | The prohibiting of public meetings is''quite wrong, of course, but can you wonder at it?'' |
| 16494 | There now remains the question which is to be put before you at the meeting of the 6th January, viz., How shall we get it? |
| 16494 | Thereupon Cronjé said to Jameson,''I understand that you and your men will surrender yourselves with your flag and everything you possess?'' |
| 16494 | They were the persons, the millionaires side by side with mining workers whom Mr. Jeppe spoke of, but where did they find these people side by side? |
| 16494 | This did not satisfy Dr. Coster, who then pressed the question,''Well, what did you think? |
| 16494 | This was a Dutch country, with Dutch laws, and why should they be asked to exchange the Dutch language for the English? |
| 16494 | To the suggestion,''Then why not say so publicly?'' |
| 16494 | Was it because they were deformed? |
| 16494 | We have now only two questions to consider:_( a)_ What do we want? |
| 16494 | Well, Jorissen is done for; Nellmapius is dead; Leyds is in Europe-- who is it now?'' |
| 16494 | Were they on the same footing as citizens of the Transvaal? |
| 16494 | Were they serfs or subjects? |
| 16494 | What do you mean by"John Bull"?'' |
| 16494 | What do you_ write_ things to me for? |
| 16494 | What had the English done for the country that this should be asked? |
| 16494 | What has happened? |
| 16494 | What is an olive branch?'' |
| 16494 | What is it I am to advise the people of Johannesburg? |
| 16494 | What is it about South Africa, one asks, that has upset so many men of capacity and experience? |
| 16494 | What necessity is there for forts in peaceful inland towns? |
| 16494 | What was the cause of all this commotion? |
| 16494 | What was the consequence? |
| 16494 | What was the result? |
| 16494 | What we have to consider is, What will be the condition of things here in the event of a conflict? |
| 16494 | What were they clamouring for? |
| 16494 | What were your thoughts?'' |
| 16494 | What will our answer be? |
| 16494 | What will we do with them now? |
| 16494 | What would they have been under the old conditions? |
| 16494 | Who can say? |
| 16494 | Who were they? |
| 16494 | Why do n''t you_ speak_ so that one can understand?'' |
| 16494 | Why not the poor as well as the rich, if that were the case? |
| 16494 | Why should they permit people to mock at the Almighty in this manner? |
| 16494 | Why then does he not support Mr. Meyer''s proposal, which affects naturalized people only? |
| 16494 | You heard evidence neither for nor against them, but you handed them over to-- to whom, Mr. Cronjé? |
| 16494 | _( b)_ how shall we get it? |
| 16494 | because they were too few and too insignificant to occupy the country? |
| 16494 | because they were worse than other people? |
| 16494 | to which Mr. Lace replied,''What troops do you mean? |
| 16494 | what is the good of protesting? |
| 16494 | { 17} The story is told of two up- country Boers who applied to the President for appointments, and received the reply,''What_ can_ I do for you? |
| 14426 | ''And Ladysmith?'' |
| 14426 | ''And how many Boers are killed?'' |
| 14426 | ''And you find the soldiers brave?'' |
| 14426 | ''And you?'' |
| 14426 | ''Are not our farms our own? |
| 14426 | ''But what about the other commando that came up the next day?'' |
| 14426 | ''But why,''we asked,''should they shell Colenso?'' |
| 14426 | ''Can any soldiers bear that long? |
| 14426 | ''Cease fire-- cease fire there, will you?'' |
| 14426 | ''Did n''t you think we should get through?'' |
| 14426 | ''Do n''t you find the rates very high?'' |
| 14426 | ''Do n''t you know that the gold mines are the property of the shareholders, many of whom are foreigners-- Frenchman and Germans and others? |
| 14426 | ''Do n''t you think it wicked to try to steal our country?'' |
| 14426 | ''Do these shells catch anyone?'' |
| 14426 | ''Do you know any names of killed in the Leicesters?'' |
| 14426 | ''Do you really mean to say that we forced this war on you, that you did not want to fight us?'' |
| 14426 | ''Do you suppose I should get such wages under the English Government?'' |
| 14426 | ''Does Cape Colony?'' |
| 14426 | ''Good afternoon, my man,''he said in his most nervous, apologetic voice;''what are you doing here?'' |
| 14426 | ''Halt, who goes there?'' |
| 14426 | ''How can I help it? |
| 14426 | ''How do you mean"not free"?'' |
| 14426 | ''How far?'' |
| 14426 | ''How many?'' |
| 14426 | ''How many?'' |
| 14426 | ''How old are you?'' |
| 14426 | ''How will you like a new one-- with the Queen''s head on it?'' |
| 14426 | ''Is there going to be much more war?'' |
| 14426 | ''May n''t we even blow up this lot?'' |
| 14426 | ''Oh, that''s all right; good show, was n''t it? |
| 14426 | ''Out of a thousand?'' |
| 14426 | ''So now you fight against your country?'' |
| 14426 | ''Tell us about the losses-- who are killed and wounded?'' |
| 14426 | ''That''s not a Dutch name?'' |
| 14426 | ''Then why did you make every preparation-- turn the Republics into armed camps-- prepare deep- laid plans for the invasion of our Colonies?'' |
| 14426 | ''Then why do you go and fight against the British?'' |
| 14426 | ''There''s a poor boy dying up there-- only a boy, and so cold-- who''s got a blanket?'' |
| 14426 | ''Well, is it right that a dirty Kaffir should walk on the pavement-- without a pass too? |
| 14426 | ''Well, now, you send a good deal of your produce by rail, I suppose?'' |
| 14426 | ''Well, what about that ironclad?'' |
| 14426 | ''Well, why should you come and invade our country?'' |
| 14426 | ''What about Ladysmith?'' |
| 14426 | ''What are we fighting for then?'' |
| 14426 | ''What did you lose in the action?'' |
| 14426 | ''What does he say?'' |
| 14426 | ''What''s to be done, sir?'' |
| 14426 | ''What''s your name?'' |
| 14426 | ''When is Buller coming?'' |
| 14426 | ''Where does the money come from?'' |
| 14426 | ''Where is Buller?'' |
| 14426 | ''Where is the"reporter,"with whom we talked last evening?'' |
| 14426 | ''Where, on the left of Railway Hill?'' |
| 14426 | ''Who can tell?'' |
| 14426 | ''Why should they be a cause of war? |
| 14426 | ''Why should you English take this country away from us?'' |
| 14426 | ''Why, what could we do after the Jameson Raid? |
| 14426 | ''Will you have some cigarettes?'' |
| 14426 | ''Will you kindly tell us all about who you are?'' |
| 14426 | ''Will you tell us why there is this war?'' |
| 14426 | ''Yes, but what I want to know is this, did they get into them with the bayonet?'' |
| 14426 | ''You are the son of Lord Randolph Churchill?'' |
| 14426 | ''You never wanted war?'' |
| 14426 | ''Your country? |
| 14426 | After all, what use could I find for a hat, when there were plenty of helmets to spare if I wanted to Walk in the courtyard? |
| 14426 | After this who will dare call Outlanders cowards? |
| 14426 | Again, why not? |
| 14426 | All cares-- for who can be worried about the little matters of humdrum life when he may be dead before the night? |
| 14426 | Another bayonet attack by the garrison? |
| 14426 | Are they sending the cavalry over? |
| 14426 | Are we going to be exchanged?'' |
| 14426 | Besides, do you think the European Powers will allow you to bully us?'' |
| 14426 | Brooke greeted him and asked,''Bone?'' |
| 14426 | Can the position be turned? |
| 14426 | Can you get back again?'' |
| 14426 | Do n''t you call that cruel?'' |
| 14426 | Do n''t you have to obey your orders?'' |
| 14426 | Do you think we would fight Great Britain for amusement?'' |
| 14426 | Evidently a shell had passed a few feet over our heads, but was it from our guns shelling the hills in front, or from the enemy? |
| 14426 | He raised his voice,''Ladysmith hold out a month? |
| 14426 | How are you? |
| 14426 | How did we know? |
| 14426 | How long can they hold out? |
| 14426 | How long would the English go on fighting? |
| 14426 | How many more letters shall I write you from an unsatisfactory address? |
| 14426 | How much longer would the heroic garrison be persecuted? |
| 14426 | How should it befall a man who died in a quarrel he did not understand? |
| 14426 | How, then, could the Boers obtain the necessary time to reduce it? |
| 14426 | I expect there will be some who will inquire--''Why not"at first"?'' |
| 14426 | I said,''Surely you do n''t think you will win this war?'' |
| 14426 | I said,''Why bully if you are so strong?'' |
| 14426 | I said,''Will Methuen get to Kimberley?'' |
| 14426 | I said,''You have not been at the front yet?'' |
| 14426 | I said:''What about Methuen? |
| 14426 | Insist on their proper treatment will you? |
| 14426 | Is a flank attack possible? |
| 14426 | Is he, therefore, justified in running the greatest risks? |
| 14426 | Monotony is the characteristic of a modern voyage, and who shall describe it? |
| 14426 | My companion regarded these steadfastly, then he said:''Why do they all look so pleased?'' |
| 14426 | Nothing more than a soldier should always expect; but what of the position? |
| 14426 | Now, what is the situation which confronts the General and the army? |
| 14426 | On the other hand, how can we let Ladysmith and all its gallant defenders fall into the hands of the enemy? |
| 14426 | She signalled again:''What won the Cesarewitch?'' |
| 14426 | Should I continue to fly? |
| 14426 | Something big happening at Ladysmith-- hell of a cannonade-- never heard anything like it-- worse than Colenso-- what do you think of it? |
| 14426 | Such was the order; and is not offence the surest defence? |
| 14426 | Suppose they missed me? |
| 14426 | The Australians asked questions:''Is Sir Redvers Buller on board?'' |
| 14426 | The abandoned colonist, the shamed soldier, the''cowardly Englishman,''the white flag, the''How about Majuba?'' |
| 14426 | The group passed by, and the last thing I heard was,''How much of the artillery has crossed? |
| 14426 | The last cry of''Any more for the shore?'' |
| 14426 | The question now arose-- Where should the river be crossed? |
| 14426 | The questions were, could guns be brought up the hill; and, if so, could the troops maintain themselves? |
| 14426 | They might scour the country; but would they search the shed? |
| 14426 | To be killed by bombshells? |
| 14426 | To blockade Ladysmith? |
| 14426 | Was it not God''s hand that stopped them? |
| 14426 | Was it on the Delagoa Bay line? |
| 14426 | Was it the line to Delagoa Bay or the Pietersburg branch? |
| 14426 | Were they going to lose the day for us when it was already won? |
| 14426 | What about our Government?'' |
| 14426 | What are my wages?'' |
| 14426 | What are those terms? |
| 14426 | What can the wide world give him in exchange? |
| 14426 | What did he think? |
| 14426 | What did they think he was paid for? |
| 14426 | What did we think of South Africa? |
| 14426 | What do they mean by harassing us?'' |
| 14426 | What do we care for that? |
| 14426 | What do you think? |
| 14426 | What does it mean-- this scrap of intelligence which tells so much and leaves so much untold? |
| 14426 | What hope have you of withstanding a hundred thousand soldiers?'' |
| 14426 | What if we should break through, only to have the door shut behind us? |
| 14426 | What is the true and original root of Dutch aversion to British rule? |
| 14426 | What on earth could this be? |
| 14426 | What part were the cavalry to play? |
| 14426 | What should I do in the morning? |
| 14426 | What the deuce is this? |
| 14426 | What then? |
| 14426 | What train should I take? |
| 14426 | What was happening eighteen miles away over the hills? |
| 14426 | What was happening? |
| 14426 | What was happening? |
| 14426 | What was it all for? |
| 14426 | What was the good of human effort? |
| 14426 | What was their design? |
| 14426 | What will Sir Redvers Buller do? |
| 14426 | What will come of it all?'' |
| 14426 | What''s the latest news of Buller''s advance? |
| 14426 | When would the war end? |
| 14426 | Where did they catch you? |
| 14426 | Where was my comrade? |
| 14426 | Where was the train going to? |
| 14426 | Where would it be unloaded? |
| 14426 | Where, then, was the need of caution? |
| 14426 | Wherefore was this miserable land of stone and scrub created? |
| 14426 | Whither? |
| 14426 | Why are men''s wounded souls left to the care of a village practitioner?'' |
| 14426 | Why are they wasting time now? |
| 14426 | Why did they declare war if they had nothing up their sleeves? |
| 14426 | Why is there this war?'' |
| 14426 | Why must we fight for them?'' |
| 14426 | Why not lie buried underneath this litter until prisoners and escort had marched away together? |
| 14426 | Why not seize the heights above Potgieter''s? |
| 14426 | Why, then, had he neglected this obvious precaution? |
| 14426 | Why, then, had they abandoned it to a parcel of horsemen without a shot fired? |
| 14426 | Why? |
| 14426 | Why?'' |
| 14426 | Worst of all, I could not speak a word of Dutch or Kaffir, and how was I to get food or direction? |
| 14426 | Would it be searched? |
| 14426 | Would they count? |
| 14426 | Would they notice? |
| 14426 | Would we like to go in an armoured train again? |
| 14426 | Yet if he has found the account of a dull voyage dull, he should not complain; for is not that successful realism? |
| 14426 | Your artillery? |
| 13262 | But does he regret it? 13262 Do people die with you?" |
| 13262 | Have you no charm against death? 13262 Here we are, off Cape Corrientes(''Whaur''s that, I wonner? |
| 13262 | How are you doing? 13262 I preached,"he writes to his wife,"on the text,''Why will ye die?'' |
| 13262 | Is n''t it interesting,he writes to Mr. Moore,"to get blamed for everything? |
| 13262 | MY DEAR MOORE,--And why did n''t you begin when you were so often on the point of writing, but did n''t? 13262 May we not say, with old Baxter( something altered from that verse)? |
| 13262 | My days seem to have been spent in an Elysian field; otherwise, why should I so keenly regret the near approach of the parting hour? 13262 Oh, reader, had you been at my side on this day in Ujiji, how eloquently could be told the nature of this man''s work? |
| 13262 | Will you go with me northward? |
| 13262 | Afraid of these crocodiles, eh?'' |
| 13262 | Again and again have I been pained at heart to hear the question put, Where will these new brethren find fields of labor in this country? |
| 13262 | Am I to be cut off before I do anything to effect permanent improvement in Africa? |
| 13262 | Amazed, we ask, Had Livingstone any heart? |
| 13262 | And who can tell how often his soul may have been refreshed through their intercessions?... |
| 13262 | And why should we so regard all we give and do for the Well- beloved of our souls? |
| 13262 | Apart from the branches it looked like a mass of granite; and then the Bakoba in their canoes-- did I not enjoy sailing in them? |
| 13262 | Are we not guilty of treating our Lord somewhat more scurvily than we would treat our indigent fellow- men? |
| 13262 | As he wrote to one of his friends, he felt jammed into a corner, and what could he do? |
| 13262 | At last Livingstone said:''What is the use of my waiting for the end of this abominable opium war? |
| 13262 | But I know that thou wilt receive no injustice whither thou art gone;''Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'' |
| 13262 | But I told thee of a Saviour; didst thou think of Him, and did He lead thee through the dark valley? |
| 13262 | But how did he get this? |
| 13262 | But how is the land so promising to be occupied?... |
| 13262 | But then the old man who was conducting us across might have said,''What on earth are you blubbering for? |
| 13262 | But what for Africa? |
| 13262 | But what means the lugubrious wail that too often bursts from the circle of his friends? |
| 13262 | But who will go if we do n''t? |
| 13262 | But wilt Thou permit me to plead for Africa? |
| 13262 | Can I hope for ultimate success? |
| 13262 | Can that be called a sacrifice which is simply paid back as a small part of a great debt owing to our God, which we can never repay? |
| 13262 | Can you explain why Adam''s first feeling has no trace of existence in his offspring?" |
| 13262 | Could you ascertain? |
| 13262 | Did He comfort as He only can? |
| 13262 | Didst thou think of what I told thee as thou turnedst from side to side in distress? |
| 13262 | Do n''t you think something could be done by setting the persons I mention to do something for themselves?" |
| 13262 | Do n''t you think this sensible?"] |
| 13262 | Do we begin again in our new existence to learn much by experience, or have we full powers? |
| 13262 | Do you ever pray for her?" |
| 13262 | Do you see that one hiding herself? |
| 13262 | Do you wonder at my pressing on in the way we have done? |
| 13262 | Does he think that aldermen grow in Africa? |
| 13262 | Does not Mrs. Maclear envy us? |
| 13262 | Fifty added to the church sounds fine at home, but if only five of these are genuine, what will it profit in the Great Day? |
| 13262 | Great deeds are wrought in unconsciousness, from constraining love to Christ; in humbly asking, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do? |
| 13262 | Has Satan power over the course of the winds and clouds? |
| 13262 | Has he starved her? |
| 13262 | Has the Caffre War paper shared the same fate? |
| 13262 | Have I not been battered by successive fevers, prostrate with agony day after day lately? |
| 13262 | Have I not clenched my fists in fury, and fought with the wild strength of despair when in delirium? |
| 13262 | Have I not labored in vain? |
| 13262 | Have I not raved and stormed in madness? |
| 13262 | Have I seen the end of my wife and children? |
| 13262 | Have you any knowledge of a famous despatch written by Sir George Grey( late of the Cape), on the proper treatment of native tribes? |
| 13262 | He was afraid to utter what struck him so much, but at last he said to Livingstone,"Do you notice any change?" |
| 13262 | How are my dear ones? |
| 13262 | How could commerce or Christianity flourish in countries desolated by war? |
| 13262 | How did I live without you these long long years of woe? |
| 13262 | How is this?'' |
| 13262 | How tall is Zouga? |
| 13262 | How was that continent ever to be evangelized? |
| 13262 | How will it end? |
| 13262 | How would Nannie like to be thus treated? |
| 13262 | If Kolobeng should have to be abandoned, where would Livingstone go next? |
| 13262 | If so, how shall I look upon thee in the judgment? |
| 13262 | In another, hardly legible on the marble paper, we find:"So runs my dream: but what am I? |
| 13262 | In regard to mission work for the future an important question arose, What should be done for the Bakwains? |
| 13262 | Is God not preparing the world for missions which will embrace the whole of Adam''s family? |
| 13262 | Is it not the Niger of this part of Africa?... |
| 13262 | Is not the word ungraciously applied to the Lord Jesus, as if He were a poor beggar, and an unworthy one too? |
| 13262 | Is that not enough? |
| 13262 | Is the Tau learning to read with mamma? |
| 13262 | Is there no food in the country to which she has been?'' |
| 13262 | Is this such service as He deserves who, though rich, for our sakes became poor? |
| 13262 | Isaiah said:"Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" |
| 13262 | It was impossible to supply Mr. Rae''s place, and if anything should go wrong with the engines, what was to be done? |
| 13262 | It was the old story of the traveler who fell among thieves that robbed him of all he had; but where was the good Samaritan? |
| 13262 | It would appear as flight, and should such a man as I flee? |
| 13262 | Livingstone was unwilling to plant Mebalwe beside so bloodthirsty a neighbor**(spelling? |
| 13262 | Livingstone, I presume?'' |
| 13262 | Lord Shaftesbury was in the chair:"What better thing can we do,"asked the noble Earl,"than to welcome such a man to the shores of our country? |
| 13262 | M.--''Who were your parents?'' |
| 13262 | May we venture to invite young men of education, when laying down the plan of their lives, to take a glance at that of missionary? |
| 13262 | My soul, whither wilt thou emigrate? |
| 13262 | No doubt much good had been done; he had prevented several wars; but where were the conversions[24]? |
| 13262 | No one knew anything beyond his own district, and who cared where the rivers ran? |
| 13262 | Oh, am I guilty of the blood of thy soul, my poor dear Sehamy? |
| 13262 | Oh, where is he now? |
| 13262 | On his arrival, Mr. Bennett asked him bluntly,"Where do you think Livingstone is?" |
| 13262 | Or did ever man perform the duties of each with such painstaking accuracy and so great success? |
| 13262 | Or must we submit to it as one of the crooked things of this life, which Solomon says can not be made straight?" |
| 13262 | Prince of the power of the air, art thou hindering us? |
| 13262 | So you think I would reproach you with the sorrows that I bore? |
| 13262 | The breaking up of all my connections with earth, leaving this fair and beautiful world, and knowing so little of it? |
| 13262 | The herds of the buffaloes, kept I believe for their milk, invariably made the question glance across the mind,''Where''s your rifle?'' |
| 13262 | Then which is it? |
| 13262 | These and many other interesting points of information are followed up by the significant question--"Who will penetrate through Africa?" |
| 13262 | Thought I was his brother, and asked me frequently,''Where is your brother? |
| 13262 | Traveler, geographer, zoologist, astronomer, missionary, physician, and mercantile director, did ever man sustain so many characters at once? |
| 13262 | Was he then to be beaten? |
| 13262 | Was it not, then, his duty to find and found a new station for them? |
| 13262 | Was there ever a plea more powerful or more just? |
| 13262 | We have heard again and again of a"preparatory work going on"in India, but who ever heard of such in Africa? |
| 13262 | What could have sustained his heart and kept him firm to his purpose in such a wilderness of desolation? |
| 13262 | What did these dumb witnesses relate to me? |
| 13262 | What does it see first? |
| 13262 | What man but Dr. Livingstone would have encumbered himself with such baggage, and for what conceivable purpose except the benefit of Africa? |
| 13262 | What think you of a navigable highway into a large section of the interior? |
| 13262 | What was this stronger force? |
| 13262 | When is the book to appear? |
| 13262 | When shall we return to Kolobeng? |
| 13262 | When to Kuruman? |
| 13262 | When will the rays of Divine light dispel the darkness in this beautiful empire? |
| 13262 | When will these dwellers in the wilderness bow down before their Lord? |
| 13262 | When will they be able to write a letter to me? |

| 13262 | Who are my imprudent friends that publish everything? |
| 13262 | Who has not admired the band of Leonidas at the pass of Thermopylæ? |
| 13262 | Who would not be a missionary? |
| 13262 | Who would not be a missionary? |
| 13262 | Who? |
| 13262 | Why did not Livingstone go home? |
| 13262 | Why, then, it may be asked, was Livingstone so ill- pleased when it was said that all that the Bishop had done was done by his advice? |
| 13262 | Will He be pleased in mercy to use me for his glory? |
| 13262 | Will an angel soothe thy fluttering, for sadly flurried wilt thou be in entering upon eternity? |
| 13262 | Will you examine catalogues to find whether there is any dictionary of ancient Egyptian within my means, so that I might purchase and compare? |
| 13262 | Will you purchase the above for me?" |
| 13262 | Will you translate it, beginning at''Remember not, Lord, our offenses,''up to''the right way''? |
| 13262 | Would you like to serve Him? |
| 13262 | Would you not like to work for Him among men? |
| 13262 | Yes, I do feel solemn at death, but there is no melancholy about it, for what is our life, so short and so transient? |

| 13262 | could he bring his family? |

| 13262 | yet that the Tamanak''le is.... Who will go into that goodly land? |
| 8185 | And what do you say,I asked,"to our so- called national hypocrisy?" |
| 8185 | And why not? |
| 8185 | And yesterday? |
| 8185 | Are there interesting people at your Italian restaurant? |
| 8185 | By the way, how does it come about that you, being a Pole, should have a Russian family name? |
| 8185 | Could I at least find a horse in the morning-- a mule-- a donkey-- a camel? |
| 8185 | Do n''t you_ ever_ wash? |
| 8185 | Eh? 8185 Ha, was he? |
| 8185 | How can I make you understand? 8185 How do you know this?" |
| 8185 | How so? |
| 8185 | How? 8185 I know quite well----""How do you know?" |
| 8185 | So you have not yet taken your fill of dirt and discomfort in Tunisia, Monsieur? |
| 8185 | That? 8185 The cases are not quite parallel, are they?" |
| 8185 | Well, there is Hirsch, the young German: you know him? |
| 8185 | What have you done to- day? |
| 8185 | Why not, indeed? 8185 Why not? |
| 8185 | You have forgotten your_ kif_? |
| 8185 | Your friend, is he an_ alfatier_? |
| 8185 | A creed of everyday use which hampers a man''s reasoning in the most ordinary matters of life-- is it not like a garment that fetters his hands? |
| 8185 | And for how long, I wonder, has this convenient shelter been inhabited? |
| 8185 | And how do the English manage in India? |
| 8185 | And next, with needless vehemence:"_ What_ do you know?" |
| 8185 | And then, emphatically:"_ Gafsa?_ Why on earth did n''t you go over Sfax?" |
| 8185 | And then, emphatically:"_ Gafsa?_ Why on earth did n''t you go over Sfax?" |
| 8185 | And were they not right? |
| 8185 | And what are they, in a land like this? |
| 8185 | And what brought the railway? |
| 8185 | And what of our snobbishness?" |
| 8185 | And where are the paving- stones? |
| 8185 | And who, you ask, was to blame for these follies? |
| 8185 | And why, above all things, select an inappropriate Muscovite name? |
| 8185 | And you are leaving to- morrow for the Djerid? |
| 8185 | Are we to have nothing for our risks? |
| 8185 | At last he said:"Oh, it''s about the same thing, is n''t it? |
| 8185 | At last the Moroccan enquired:"Are you the man who sold me that piece of cloth three weeks ago?" |
| 8185 | But I will decline: what are a few francs to me? |
| 8185 | But how explain to others? |
| 8185 | But what is justice? |
| 8185 | But why a Pole? |
| 8185 | But why caricature them? |
| 8185 | Can it be the mere change from an island to a continent? |
| 8185 | Can you understand such a feeling? |
| 8185 | Can you understand such an attitude?" |
| 8185 | Did you observe the young proprietor of the restaurant at Sbeitla? |
| 8185 | Do they ever wonder whence they came or who made them? |
| 8185 | Eject them? |
| 8185 | For what is the burnous save a glorified aboriginal beast- skin? |
| 8185 | Have they been slowly submerged under the debris of Arabism, or taken up and worked into the masonry of the Kasbah and other buildings? |
| 8185 | Have you ever been to Tozeur?" |
| 8185 | Have_ they_ made the burnous, or vice- versa? |
| 8185 | How are you to find out anything about him? |
| 8185 | How does it all come about, I wonder?" |
| 8185 | How far, I wonder, is such a man the author of his own calamities, and how far have they_ made him_? |
| 8185 | How lived they? |
| 8185 | How much?" |
| 8185 | I wonder how much they are paid for making that statement, and who pays it?" |
| 8185 | If so, how was it that after three centuries of their rule there should come a drought lasting for five years? |
| 8185 | In what obscure chamber of the brain had those words slumbered, closely folded, for thirty years? |
| 8185 | Is a poor man, then, insane?" |
| 8185 | Is it worth while? |
| 8185 | Laughable, is it not? |
| 8185 | Look at this installation of machinery-- all built, too, with a view to future aggrandizement: does it strike you as a half- hearted speculation?" |
| 8185 | May I ask whether you ever chastise them?" |
| 8185 | Monsieur est botaniste? |
| 8185 | Now how on earth did you find that out?" |
| 8185 | On what point, do you think? |
| 8185 | Or if the wells dried up? |
| 8185 | Or, if a display of force was considered inadvisable, why not try the_ suaviter in modo_? |
| 8185 | Shall I open him?" |
| 8185 | Small praise? |
| 8185 | Some defalcation or forgery? |
| 8185 | Supposing the system of dams, which now force the liquid to keep to a certain plane, fell into disuse, how would it end? |
| 8185 | Tell me, is not poverty a kind of madness, an obsession that haunts you night and day? |
| 8185 | The key of the_ piscine?_ He regretted he could give me no information as to its whereabouts-- no information whatever. |
| 8185 | The key? |
| 8185 | The objection is brushed aside; one word is as good as another,_ n''est- ce- pas_? |
| 8185 | The sanguine temperament... What is a man of this type doing in Gafsa? |
| 8185 | Then:"That new eye: how came you by it?" |
| 8185 | There is an irresistible air of geniality about this home: can it be the house itself? |
| 8185 | There is in most of us, Arabs or otherwise, a deep- seated sporting instinct( is that the right word?) |
| 8185 | There is no fighting against such heroic perseverance on a woman''s part; besides, was he not brought up on the same lines? |
| 8185 | They caught him, and in due time he died(?) |
| 8185 | Too modest, perhaps-- too unworldly; too foolish, or too proud: who can tell? |
| 8185 | Two husbands to one wife, or half a wife apiece-- what do you think of that?" |
| 8185 | Was this, perhaps, Zafrana? |
| 8185 | We have held Gafsa for the last thirty years, and what have we done to improve the place? |
| 8185 | What can be the meaning of this unlovely comedy? |
| 8185 | What is happening? |
| 8185 | What is the use of a_ marabout_, if he can not be bribed? |
| 8185 | What is this gift, this distinguishing mark? |
| 8185 | What kind of man was this that managed to survive it? |
| 8185 | What''s that?" |
| 8185 | What, in the name of heaven, do I care for art and politics, with the knife at my throat? |
| 8185 | Where are they now? |
| 8185 | Where had he been? |
| 8185 | Where was the key? |
| 8185 | Where-- where? |
| 8185 | Whither wending? |
| 8185 | Who were these carvers of stones, the aboriginals of Gafsa? |
| 8185 | Why a count? |
| 8185 | Why do French travellers not complain oftener? |
| 8185 | Why do I tell you all this? |
| 8185 | Why do n''t you settle down and make yourselves at home? |
| 8185 | Why do n''t you smile, Monsieur-- you, who have never known the bitterness?" |
| 8185 | Why not import some of these sterner conceptions into our morality, as we import their peppery curries and kouskous and pilaffs into our cuisine? |
| 8185 | Why not leave this country and go to the Souf, to Eloued, instead? |
| 8185 | Why not the_ Legion d''Honneur_ while we are about it? |
| 8185 | Why should I do anything?" |
| 8185 | Why? |
| 8185 | Will he ever appear? |
| 8185 | Will the natives ever realize that the abolition of this sleeveless and buttonless anachronism is one of the conditions of their betterment? |
| 8185 | Wood brings water, and if things were so satisfactory, why did they penuriously hive and distribute the element? |
| 8185 | Would I not thrash my own children if they deserved it? |
| 8185 | Would not a man, under such perennial vexations, end in bowing his head and letting things take their course? |
| 8185 | You are not coming to see me?" |
| 8185 | You have every facility for buying land, for importing this and that-- why do n''t you settle down and make yourselves at home? |
| 8185 | You smile? |
| 8185 | [ Illustration: A Street in Gafsa] What do the natives think of these relics of past civilization? |
| 8185 | said the Englishman,"what''s all this?" |
| 37083 | And you? 37083 Are you wounded?" |
| 37083 | Bloemfontein? |
| 37083 | Ca n''t Auntie have my clothes washed? |
| 37083 | Can you not see,he continued,"that the hand of God is stretched out against us?" |
| 37083 | Fight to the bitter end? |
| 37083 | Has Tante( Aunt) any dried fruit for sale? |
| 37083 | How far is it still? |
| 37083 | How old are you? |
| 37083 | Must we understand,asked General L. Botha, when Lord Milner had read this document,--"must we understand that our proposal is rejected entirely?" |
| 37083 | Watchman,so I seemed to cry,"what of the night? |
| 37083 | What is your name? |
| 37083 | What o''clock is it? |
| 37083 | What should we eat, and what should we drink? |
| 37083 | What,he asked one of the latter,"do you think of a rescue?" |
| 37083 | Where is east? |
| 37083 | Where must we look for Harrismith? |
| 37083 | Will this lead to peace? |
| 37083 | (?) |
| 37083 | After half an hour we ask again,"And how far is it now?" |
| 37083 | And had these ideals now been rudely dragged through the mud by the bitter result? |
| 37083 | And how was this received by our burghers? |
| 37083 | And if at the commencement we had put our trust in God, why should we now not continue to do so? |
| 37083 | And then it was asked, whether the war had not been begun in faith, and whether it could not be carried through in the same faith? |
| 37083 | And was it not therefore the duty of everyone to join those who were going to the Government for that purpose? |
| 37083 | And what did the English say about the laager that they had taken? |
| 37083 | And what had we to record as to our loss on the following day after this terrible bombardment? |
| 37083 | And what shall I say of those-- our own flesh and blood-- who went over to the enemy? |
| 37083 | And what was his reply?--What? |
| 37083 | And what was the effect of this spectacle on the burghers? |
| 37083 | And yet how could I blame others for being troublesome when I had on one occasion got a loaf of bread from that house myself? |
| 37083 | But how should we surrender? |
| 37083 | But what sort of Peace? |
| 37083 | But why was all so still? |
| 37083 | Can I ever forget those evenings? |
| 37083 | Constantly the question arose in his mind, what would become of the People? |
| 37083 | Could he not be released? |
| 37083 | Could inhumanity go further? |
| 37083 | Could they do more? |
| 37083 | Delay? |
| 37083 | Did no dart of pain, no pang of sorrow, pass through his heart at the thought that he had taken a great share in the extinction of a free people? |
| 37083 | Did not thine own great hero, Wellington, declare that a nation has the right to adopt every means to resist a foe that is invading its country? |
| 37083 | Did the English know anything about us? |
| 37083 | Did this give him satisfaction? |
| 37083 | Do n''t we keep the war going in this way? |
| 37083 | EPILOGUE Do I feel any remorse, now that all is over, because I struggled on to the end? |
| 37083 | Fear? |
| 37083 | For was it not against the world that the little nation fought? |
| 37083 | Had that People appealed to God, and had He declared Himself against them? |
| 37083 | Had the faith of the People been in vain? |
| 37083 | Has this often happened in the history of the world? |
| 37083 | He put out his head through the waggon- flap and asked his sons--"Children, what is this?" |
| 37083 | He would ask_ where_ that bitter end was? |
| 37083 | How did I behave after having had to manage with my clasp- knife on the grass for so long? |
| 37083 | How long, we asked ourselves, would our burghers be able to hold out? |
| 37083 | I asked myself, as I rode by his side, what could be the secret of his power? |
| 37083 | I do not know how to describe it, so feeble it was,--this:"And why do you ruin England so?" |
| 37083 | If anybody had said then that the war would last another seventeen months, who would have believed him? |
| 37083 | If she asked what she was to give her two, three, or six children to eat, the rough retort was,"Ask de Wet that?" |
| 37083 | If the English did not wish to exterminate us, what then did they mean by driving weak women and children out of doors and destroying the houses? |
| 37083 | If they had been united in the struggle until now, then surely it would be wrong to be divided at the last? |
| 37083 | Is it not the Crown of the Orange Free State? |
| 37083 | It was further pointed out that horses were becoming more and more scarce, and what would the burghers signify without horses? |
| 37083 | It was now asked,"Where is Field- Cornet Jan Lyon?" |
| 37083 | Many have not been able to understand the will of God, and have been overthrown by the insulting question,"Where is now your God?" |
| 37083 | Merely for the sake of fighting; merely to shoot and be shot? |
| 37083 | One Delegate said that the war had been commenced with prayer and with the Mauser, and, he asked, what had been God''s answer to this prayer? |
| 37083 | PART III_ RESIGNATION_ CHAPTER I"WILL THIS LEAD TO PEACE?" |
| 37083 | Racial hatred? |
| 37083 | Renegades!--What can I say? |
| 37083 | Return to the Delegates and inform them that England would not grant what they desired? |
| 37083 | Should we get the looted cattle back? |
| 37083 | So the English kept on saying; yet, oh mine enemy, what right had''st thou to prescribe to us how we should fight? |
| 37083 | Strange, is it not? |
| 37083 | Surely not another proclamation? |
| 37083 | The burghers were terribly bored in the laager? |
| 37083 | The day came, and who had surrendered? |
| 37083 | The question now before the meeting was, whether the Representatives would accept this proposal of England, or-- reject it and continue the war? |
| 37083 | The question now was, what the meeting was going to do in regard to those proposals? |
| 37083 | The question was, Whither? |
| 37083 | They approached the fort in the greatest silence, but the picquet became aware of their approach and cried,"Werda?" |
| 37083 | This I asked myself, when we had got beyond these mountains, should we then bravely march against the enemy on the plains? |
| 37083 | Unconditionally? |
| 37083 | Was he not Chief- Commandant, or at least did he not act as such? |
| 37083 | Was it not God''s guidance to keep the People united to the last moment? |
| 37083 | Was it not because there was always something to keep us busy? |
| 37083 | Was it not for the sole and only purpose of getting breathing- time?--to get reorganised? |
| 37083 | Was it red earth, or was it the blood of friend and foe that coloured the water? |
| 37083 | Was it the daylight that vanquished the apprehensions and uncertainties of night? |
| 37083 | Was this the beginning of the end? |
| 37083 | Was this, I asked myself, the child whose cry I had heard in the night, when the shells of the Maxim- Nordenfeldt flew over us? |
| 37083 | We ask ourselves, whence the courage which inspired us to face so determinedly what was before us? |
| 37083 | Well, then, was there any chance left, humanly speaking, of retaining it?" |
| 37083 | What advantage would we gain thereby? |
| 37083 | What are a thousand years to Him who forms the crust of the earth through myriads of years? |
| 37083 | What better-- what more nutritious food could they have given me than mealies? |
| 37083 | What else but undisguised hostility could the Governments of the two Republics see in this action of England? |
| 37083 | What else was I living for? |
| 37083 | What is an age to Him for whom one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years are as one day? |
| 37083 | What is faith?... |
| 37083 | What is that deep rumbling in the distance? |
| 37083 | What is to be done now? |
| 37083 | What of that, if only it came at last? |
| 37083 | What of that? |
| 37083 | What was the commission now to do? |
| 37083 | What would become of the People if their leaders, in order to gratify their own military sentiment, surrendered unconditionally? |
| 37083 | What would that be? |
| 37083 | When he came to a farmhouse, the first questions of his officers and soldiers to the housewife were,"Where is your husband? |
| 37083 | When we were at Doornkloof the question persistently presented itself to me: Where in the world_ are_ we going to? |
| 37083 | Where are the Boers?" |
| 37083 | Where are you going to?" |
| 37083 | Where is Steyn? |
| 37083 | Where is de Wet? |
| 37083 | Where were the 4000 who had been ordered to take the hill? |
| 37083 | Whither were we going now, now that we could not rest in the neighbourhood of Reitz? |
| 37083 | Whither? |
| 37083 | Who can blame the Africander if he can not forget what was done to his mother, to his wife, to his sister? |
| 37083 | Who cared that they were the utterances of the heart, even though the heart of an enemy? |
| 37083 | Who is to blame for it if it exists? |
| 37083 | Who will condemn this action? |
| 37083 | Who, whilst reading them, asked of himself:"What would I desire the enemy to do, if a letter of mine should fall into their hands?" |
| 37083 | Why did they not leave an opening on the south for the English to retire by? |
| 37083 | Why did we have a Commander if, under certain circumstances, we had to decide for ourselves without recognising him? |
| 37083 | Why is he present at such a scene? |
| 37083 | Why should there still be division amongst them? |
| 37083 | Why should they be there? |
| 37083 | Why then, some Delegates asked, should this be the last chance of negotiating? |
| 37083 | Why, then, did the burghers feel bored in the laager? |
| 37083 | Why? |
| 37083 | Why? |
| 37083 | Will there be patrols of the enemy on the line? |
| 37083 | Would it be like that in the Cape Colony? |
| 37083 | Would it not be best to go through the Vaal River in order to consult Dr. von Rennenkamff, who had joined the commandos of General de la Rey? |
| 37083 | Would the Delegates be divided? |
| 37083 | Would they for all future time look back upon this, the greatest moment in the history of South Africa, with bitter reproaches against each other? |
| 37083 | Would they part from each other in anger? |
| 37083 | Would this letter be the last I should write her? |
| 37083 | Yet could I blame this confused multitude? |
| 37083 | _ But has the bitter end not come?_ Each one of you must decide that question for himself." |
| 37083 | _ Lord Milner._ May I ask if the prisoners- of- war will also be consulted? |
| 37083 | _ President Steyn._ I would like to know from Your Excellency what sort of self- government it would be? |
| 37083 | _ President Steyn._ Your Excellency surely can not be in earnest in putting this question? |
| 37083 | and then? |
| 37083 | did not trouble me; but"wherewithal should we be clothed?" |
| 37083 | have we a Japanese show here?" |
| 37083 | he asked, addressing the meeting,--"do you say that? |
| 37083 | just as in the cases I have mentioned, can give the date and the place? |
| 37083 | v. Niekerk._ But, Piet, you were a Commandant yourself; what did you think of our small numbers against our mighty foe then? |
| 37083 | what brought me, a man of peace in every sense of the word, on the field of battle? |
| 37083 | what is that? |
| 37083 | what of the night?" |
| 37083 | whence the strength which upheld our worn- out horses? |
| 37083 | who goes there?" |
| 37083 | who goes there?" |
| 37083 | why did those three foals whinny so incessantly? |
| 37083 | will shots be fired? |
| 37083 | will there be confusion? |
| 3284 | All right, your majesty; what is it? |
| 3284 | And did you get drunk? |
| 3284 | And were his officers drunk too? |
| 3284 | And where is Petherick now? |
| 3284 | And why not say Uganda? |
| 3284 | And would you like to see me to- morrow? |
| 3284 | And you can give no stimulants? |
| 3284 | At buffaloes? |
| 3284 | But the road,I cried,"has that been gained? |
| 3284 | But there are no pills; why wo n''t you give us pills? 3284 But, for the present, is it true what I have heard, that Bana would like to go out with me shooting?" |
| 3284 | Can you swim? |
| 3284 | Had they not,it was said,"heard of Budja''s telling Mtesa that K''yengo''s children prevented the white men from returning to Uganda? |
| 3284 | Has she any children? |
| 3284 | Hippopotami? |
| 3284 | How can we go in? |
| 3284 | How did we come here from the last ground? |
| 3284 | How is it you have not got English colours, then? |
| 3284 | How? 3284 I wish to know positively if you would like English traders to come here regularly, as the Arabs do to trade at Karague? |
| 3284 | If that is the case,I said, taking things easy,"how is it you have opened my loads and scattered the wires about in the tent?" |
| 3284 | If that is the case,I said,"why do you want a gun?" |
| 3284 | Now, Bana, tell me-- do you not think, if two such shots as you and I were opposed to an elephant, would he have any chance before us? 3284 Oh,"he said, over and over again and again, according to my informer,"can this be true? |
| 3284 | Then by whose orders are we kept here? |
| 3284 | Then can I not see him at once and pay my respects, for I have come a great way to obtain that pleasure? |
| 3284 | Then he must know we are here? |
| 3284 | Then what is to be done, your majesty? |
| 3284 | Well, then, where is the tree you told Bombay you would point out to us with Petherick''s name on it? |
| 3284 | Well, what is it? 3284 Well,"I said,"that is all very interesting, but what next?--will the big king see us?" |
| 3284 | Well,said I to Bombay,"what was Suwarora like?" |
| 3284 | What is it, your majesty? 3284 What luck was there in that?" |
| 3284 | What provision do you want? |
| 3284 | What,said these poor creatures,"can we do then? |
| 3284 | Where? |
| 3284 | Who is Debono? |
| 3284 | Who will guide us? |
| 3284 | Who,he said,"is to carry all this until the natives have got in their crops?" |
| 3284 | Why does Kamrasi keep us here? |
| 3284 | 25th and 26th.--I sent Frij to the palace to inquire after Bombay, and got the usual reply:"Why is Bana in such a hurry? |
| 3284 | A strong debated ensued, which Bombay, by his own account, turned to advantage, by saying,"What use is there in shooting cows? |
| 3284 | Again she promised to feed them, but she objected to them bearing swords,"for of what use are swords? |
| 3284 | And would you like to shoot buffalo?" |
| 3284 | Are we such chickens that we can not speak about matters like men? |
| 3284 | As well as I could I reassured the villagers, and brought them back again, when they said to me,"Oh, what have you done? |
| 3284 | At first Baraka said,"Do you wish to have us killed? |
| 3284 | Bombay no sooner arrived in the palace, and saw the king upon his throne, than Mtesa asked him why he came? |
| 3284 | But as the two were walking off, I heard Wadimoyo say to Baraka,"Is he not afraid now? |
| 3284 | But what does Bana want?" |
| 3284 | But what had become of Petherick? |
| 3284 | Can the white man have come all this way to see me? |
| 3284 | Could I after that refuse him such a mere trifle as a compass? |
| 3284 | Could I not go on as a servant with the first caravan, or buy up a whole caravan if I liked? |
| 3284 | Could it be possible, I thought, I had been fighting with a phantom all this while, and yet the king had not been able to perceive it? |
| 3284 | Did you hear what Bana said, and that fool''s reply to it? |
| 3284 | Did you not go about like two brothers-- walking, talking, shooting, and even eating together? |
| 3284 | Do you not see through this humbug? |
| 3284 | Do you suppose you can do as you like in this country?" |
| 3284 | Do you think if we went to Suwarora''s you would ever see us back again? |
| 3284 | Everything was granted without the slightest hesitation; and then the king, turning to me, said,"Well, Bana, so you really wish to go?" |
| 3284 | Flog me if you like, but do n''t keep count against me, else I shall run away; and what will you do then?" |
| 3284 | Go back at once and recover your things else how can I make my report at Gondokoro?" |
| 3284 | Has he forgotten Mtesa, who loves him so?" |
| 3284 | He laughed, but still was silent; so I said,"What message have you brought from Mtesa?" |
| 3284 | He promised me assistance, but with an air which seemed to say, What are the sufferings of other men to me? |
| 3284 | He said, in return,"If friendship is your desire, what would you say if I showed you a road by which you might reach your home in one month?" |
| 3284 | He said,"As you gave men to Mtesa, why would you refuse them to me?" |
| 3284 | He then inquired if I would like to go shooting? |
| 3284 | He then, growing more familiar, said,"Now, Bana, do tell me-- did you not shoot that bird with something more than common ammunition? |
| 3284 | Here the knotty question arose again, what territory they, the Arabs, would give to Manua Sera? |
| 3284 | Here was altogether a staggerer: I would stop for three or four days, but if Kamrasi would not have us by that time, what was to be done? |
| 3284 | His cattle were much troubled with sickness, dying in great numbers-- could I cure them? |
| 3284 | His first question was,"Well, Bana, where are your guns? |
| 3284 | How could he be countenanced as a friend when the men under him steal from us? |
| 3284 | How would you account for this?" |
| 3284 | I asked him what use he had for so many women? |
| 3284 | I asked him, in Kisuahili, if he knew where Grant was? |
| 3284 | I did not tell you before, but the king says,''How can I answer Rumanika if Kamrasi injures Bana? |
| 3284 | I said,"How is it Petherick has not come here to meet me? |
| 3284 | I said,"Oh, Baraka, how can you be such a fool? |
| 3284 | I said;"what is impossible? |
| 3284 | If the Waganda do n''t like the Wanguana, can swords prevail in our country?" |
| 3284 | Kamrasi said,"What will be the use of your going empty- handed? |
| 3284 | Moreover, he was rather put to shame by my saying,"Pray, who now is biggest-- Ruhe or yourself? |
| 3284 | Mtesa now said,"It is late, and time to break up; what provisions would you wish to have?" |
| 3284 | My hurry he thought was uncalled for; for, as I had spent so many days with Kamrasi, why could I not be content to do so with him? |
| 3284 | My replay was, alluding to our fight in the river,"How did N''yamyonjo''s men fare?" |
| 3284 | N''yamgundu then turning to the company, said, What would he do now to expiate his folly? |
| 3284 | Now, what was to be done with this huge carcass? |
| 3284 | Of course, I said they were my guests in Uganda, and if they had been wise they would have eaten their cow on the spot; what was that to Kamrasi? |
| 3284 | Of what value, he observed, would the beads be to him if his life was lost? |
| 3284 | On taking my seat, he proudly pointed to two vultures which he had shot with bullet, saying to his brothers,"There, do you see these birds? |
| 3284 | S."Well, that is strange; and where are your brothers and sister?" |
| 3284 | S.( then changing the word Anguja for Anguza, says to Ntalo)"I think you said your mother and father both died at Anguza, did you not?" |
| 3284 | Sangizo opened the battle by saying,"Ntalo, who are you?" |
| 3284 | Supposing a man had a headache, what should he take for it? |
| 3284 | Surprised, at first Mtesa said,"Can it be possible Bana has asked for this?" |
| 3284 | That was true; but were there not two white men? |
| 3284 | The Wakungu then changed the subject by asking, if I married a black woman, would there be any offspring, and what would be their colour? |
| 3284 | The boys replied,"How can you go with his women? |
| 3284 | The friend coaxingly responded,"Oh no; he likes Mtesa, and will go and see him too; wo n''t you?" |
| 3284 | The gun obtained us all a speedy admittance, when the king opened conversation by saying,"Well, Bana, so you really are going?" |
| 3284 | The king jokingly looked at me and laughed, and then at these strange creatures, by turn, as much as to say, What do you think of them? |
| 3284 | The king said to him,"And did you do it well?" |
| 3284 | The king then said to me,"What is powder made of?" |
| 3284 | The queen retorted,"And what have you brought me, pray? |
| 3284 | The towel and handkerchiefs were also very beautiful, but what use could they be put to? |
| 3284 | The unmannerly creature, standing among a thousand of the sleekest cattle, gruffishly replied,"What can I know of any other animals than cows?" |
| 3284 | Then I said,"What would you do with Mkisiwa? |
| 3284 | Then said the king, turning to me,"Did I not tell you I had sent many men to fight? |
| 3284 | Then, as if a sudden freak had seized him, though I knew it was on account of Maula''s having excited his curiosity, he said,"Where does Bana live? |
| 3284 | Then, as that could not be managed, what would the king devise himself? |
| 3284 | Then, changing the subject, much to my relief, Kamrasi asked Bombay,"Who governs England?" |
| 3284 | Then, turning to Bombay, he said,"What does your master think of this business?" |
| 3284 | Then, turning to Frij, he said,"What would you do if they came?--go back with them?" |
| 3284 | Then, turning to us, he said,"Why have you not brought the medicine- chest and the saw? |
| 3284 | They laughed at this, and asked, Who would stop with me when the fight began? |
| 3284 | They saw the king, who simply asked,"Where is Bana?" |
| 3284 | This, of course, was exactly what I wanted; but how could king Mtesa, after the rebuff he had received from Kamrasi be induced to consent to it? |
| 3284 | To which, in a timid, modest kind of manner, he said,"Bana knows-- what more need I say? |
| 3284 | Was not Mtesa the king of the country, to do as he liked? |
| 3284 | What brought this scourge? |
| 3284 | What can such a sign mean?" |
| 3284 | What can such conduct mean, when she arranged everything so nicely for me after my own desire, that she might drink her medicine properly? |
| 3284 | What could this mean? |
| 3284 | What is impossible? |
| 3284 | What is it you do want?" |
| 3284 | What is the interpretation of this sign, if it does not point to the favour in which Mtesa is upheld by the spirits? |
| 3284 | What''s the use of those things?" |
| 3284 | Whether she kept a number of women as he did? |
| 3284 | Why should he doubt our word more than anybody else? |
| 3284 | Would it be prudent to try Kisuere now Baraka had been refused the Gani route? |
| 3284 | and if so, would you give me a pembe( magic horn) as a warrant, that everybody may know Kamrasi, king of Unyoro, desires it?" |
| 3284 | and then turning to the Sakibobo himself, asked what he would pay to be released? |
| 3284 | and what would cure it? |
| 3284 | are these men, then, Mussulmans? |
| 3284 | can this be?--is it true? |
| 3284 | going away?" |
| 3284 | is he married?" |
| 3284 | said Kamrasi,"does Bana forget my promised appointment that I would either see him to- day or to- morrow? |
| 3284 | said he,"do you want goats?" |
| 3284 | said the king, turning to his pages again,"have you given these men no plantains, as I ordered? |
| 3284 | says the Kamraviona,"what wonders will happen next?" |
| 3284 | says the king, strutting about with gigantic strides, and brandishing the rifle over his head before all his men,"what is the use of spears and bows? |
| 3284 | then where is your father?" |
| 3284 | then where is your mother?" |
| 3284 | then you did not come to visit us, but to beg, eh? |
| 3284 | those brutes who said we should all die here if we stayed, and yet dared not face the danger with us, should we now give them a helping hand? |
| 3284 | was the reply;"does he think we came here to trick kings that he doubts our words? |
| 3284 | what does that mean?" |
| 3284 | what gate? |
| 3284 | where is it? |
| 3284 | who cared about Rumanika? |
| 3284 | wo n''t he go back?" |
| 39881 | Any officers? |
| 39881 | But am I not an Intelligence Officer? |
| 39881 | But am I not an intelligent officer? |
| 39881 | But, I beg pardon,said the artist,"now everything''s all right, is n''t it? |
| 39881 | Canadian, are n''t you? |
| 39881 | Conductor back? |
| 39881 | Good morning,said I,"do you speak English?" |
| 39881 | Here,Mr. Barnes cried,"who are you? |
| 39881 | How are you getting on? 39881 How did you chaps come to be sent to Africa?" |
| 39881 | How do you feel? |
| 39881 | How do you get on with the soldiers from home? |
| 39881 | How often do you drill there? |
| 39881 | I say, old cocky,was the remark made once by a captain to a full colonel,"had n''t you better see about getting some grub?" |
| 39881 | Is there anything else-- or anything you are in doubt about? |
| 39881 | Know Binks? 39881 Lead my horse home?" |
| 39881 | Like him? 39881 Next point,"says I,"who are they?" |
| 39881 | Surely you agree with me that this thing has got to stop? |
| 39881 | Surely you will not allow such canting nonsense to go into the paper? |
| 39881 | Then who is it that gets killed by our bullets in all these fights? |
| 39881 | Then you Australians rather like Tommy? |
| 39881 | To us,did I say? |
| 39881 | Ungrateful Wretches,said the Military Authorities;"what would you now have?" |
| 39881 | WHO STOLE THE CART? |
| 39881 | Well then,says I, getting back to point three,"what''s their position?" |
| 39881 | Well, bein''agreed on reskewin'', wot''s our plan of battle? 39881 Well, now,"said the artist,"wo n''t you please let me keep the mules? |
| 39881 | What do you mean by wearing a thing like that when you are under British rule, and have been both protected and generously treated? |
| 39881 | What sort of a lady is it who lives in that house? |

| 39881 | Who are these dead men?" |
| 39881 | Who could conceive, who has seen the prim soldier of peace, that he could so quickly transform himself into this grim, virile barbarian? |
| 39881 | Who has been the chief spirit of commerce within your gates? |
| 39881 | Who has helped to fill your coffers, public and private, with wealth? |
| 39881 | Who has helped to uphold the dignity of your land? |
| 39881 | Whose bodies do you suppose they were? |
| 39881 | Why do you laugh? |
| 39881 | Why do you spend your money on a man whose sympathies are with the Boers? |
| 39881 | Why does Rembrandt stand out as the greatest master of etchings? |
| 39881 | Why have a slow and a rapid moving artillery? |
| 39881 | Why not have a galloping"pom- pom"? |
| 39881 | Why not make the whole of it capable of rapidity? |
| 39881 | Why should these men be referred to in this way? |
| 39881 | Why should we conceal facts or mince words if we are earnestly endeavouring to probe our own weaknesses and mend our faults? |
| 39881 | Why, do you know that the dam of that horse belonged to my Uncle Jim? |
| 39881 | Why? |
| 39881 | Will the gentleman who took a brown pony_ by mistake_ from a boy at the door of this Club- house on March 15 kindly return it to manager? |
| 39881 | Will you do it?" |
| 39881 | With pen in hand and pipe in mouth he sat at the larger of the two tables in our editorial poke- hole, and beginning with a"Now, what shall I do? |
| 39881 | Write a poem, fill out cables, or correct proofs?" |
| 39881 | You do like us British, do n''t you, dear? |
| 39881 | You remember Stoke, do n''t you? |
| 39881 | You understand? |
| 39881 | You wo n''t forget that little episode, will you, Miss Bloemfontein? |
| 39881 | _ Editors_, THE FRIEND,--SIRS,--Can you inform me whether there has been a sudden exodus from Bloemfontein of war correspondents armed with cameras? |
| 39881 | _ To the Editors of_ THE FRIEND,--SIRS,--Is this a chestnut? |
| 39881 | more in price,( These loyal(?) |
| 39881 | used to sing? |
| 39881 | what cheer? |
| 39881 | why do they not try and look like soldiers too? |
| 43654 | And I suppose you will ask me next how does it affect your personal interests? 43654 And you-- you are the only one left?" |
| 43654 | But tell me, Mr. Stanley, how long do you suppose it will be before we meet? |
| 43654 | But what would be the fate of thousands of people who have remained loyal on the Upper Nile? 43654 By whom?" |
| 43654 | Carriers for what? |
| 43654 | Dead? 43654 Did the others?" |
| 43654 | Do you allow only 100 left? 43654 Failing the King of the Belgians, who else will undertake your support and maintenance, befitting your station and necessity? |
| 43654 | For surely, dear master,he said,"after the longest night comes day, and why not sunshine after darkness with us? |
| 43654 | Had any of them heard of Muta, or Luta Nzige? |
| 43654 | Have you anything to say before I pass the word? |
| 43654 | Have you anything to say before the word is given? |
| 43654 | How many hours to the next village? |
| 43654 | If you stay here during life, what becomes of the provinces afterwards? 43654 Know ye not one village or country beyond here?" |
| 43654 | May I suggest then, Pasha, if you elect to remain here, that you make your will? |
| 43654 | Muini Sumai told me that one of Sanga''s women was beating the drum when the Major came up, and the Major went to the house saying''Who is that?'' 43654 Nay,"said one in reply, mockingly,"do n''t you also see the lake, and the steamer, and that Pasha whom we seek?" |
| 43654 | Not one; how should I? |
| 43654 | Now supposing you resolve to stay, what of the Egyptians? |
| 43654 | Now which would you personally prefer doing? 43654 Now, my man, have you anything to say to us before you join your brother who died yesterday?" |
| 43654 | Of Unyoro? |
| 43654 | Of a great water near Unyoro? |
| 43654 | Really,I said;"Why?" |
| 43654 | Shall Mazamboni be a son of''Bula Matari?'' |
| 43654 | Shall there be true peace between us and the strangers? |
| 43654 | That is very true,replied the Pasha;"but supposing the men surround me and detain me by force?" |
| 43654 | The Ituri, you mean? |
| 43654 | The Ituri? |
| 43654 | Unyoro? 43654 Well"--here there was a little hesitation--"do you remember when Mr.----, of the India Office, introduced me to you? |
| 43654 | Well, Sir Evelyn,I said,"do you not think that there are as clever men in England as Messrs. Schweinfurth and Junker? |
| 43654 | Well, do you begin to understand why I have been sweet, and good, and liberal to Tippu- Tib? 43654 Well, now, say do you think Tippu- Tib will keep his contract, and bring his 600 people?" |
| 43654 | Well, what are they? |
| 43654 | Well, what can we do else than kill those who are trying to kill us? 43654 Were you all equally desirous to be on the road?" |
| 43654 | Were you not burning to be off from Yambuya? |
| 43654 | What is he doing there, in the name of goodness? |
| 43654 | What land is this? 43654 What makes you think so, particularly now?" |
| 43654 | What would you, unruly men? |
| 43654 | Which is the way, guide? |
| 43654 | Which way, sir? |
| 43654 | Who else, then, will be so quixotic as to cast a covetous eye on these Provinces? 43654 Why,"said they,"who can gather bananas if they are continually watched and told to''Fall in, fall in?''" |
| 43654 | Why? 43654 Why?" |
| 43654 | You still think, then, that in some way Major Barttelot is the cause of this delay? |
| 43654 | -----[ I] Was he very unfortunate? |
| 43654 | A hundred-- two hundred-- three hundred miles? |
| 43654 | About 200 yards from the village we stopped paddling, and as I saw a great number of strangers on the shore, I asked,"Whose men are you?" |
| 43654 | Ah, but we have seen a thing to- day that our fathers never saw, eh?" |
| 43654 | And disloyal to whom?" |
| 43654 | And how far is the Nyanza?" |
| 43654 | And if 60 rations can only be procured for 146 people by the State authorities, how were we to supply 750 people? |
| 43654 | And of the gallant band of Englishmen? |
| 43654 | And supposing you reach the sea, what will you do then? |
| 43654 | Are you now satisfied?" |
| 43654 | Besides, may I ask you if, with your recent experience, you think it likely that communication could be kept open at reasonable cost?" |
| 43654 | But can black men, the"brutes,""niggers,""black devils,"feel so? |
| 43654 | But was there an effective Government? |
| 43654 | But what does it matter to you if he does not come within twenty days? |
| 43654 | But why need we say over again what I have already said? |
| 43654 | By the way of the Ituri? |
| 43654 | Can it be possible that we are near the end of this forest hell?" |
| 43654 | Could I possibly leave you here, with my knowledge of what they are capable of-- alone? |
| 43654 | Could I, could anybody suggest anything else?" |
| 43654 | Did Dr. Junker report you correctly, Pasha?" |
| 43654 | Do n''t the natives know their own country better? |
| 43654 | Do they not all say that all the world is covered with trees and thick bush? |
| 43654 | Dost thou not remember the crocodile?" |
| 43654 | During your lifetime? |
| 43654 | Eight years I believe you said? |
| 43654 | Fever?" |
| 43654 | For if you have no rifles left, or ammunition, can you march either forward or backward?" |
| 43654 | For what does it matter after all? |
| 43654 | Had they ever heard of such a man? |
| 43654 | Has he then altered his mind about the Victoria? |
| 43654 | Have I said well, oh, warriors?" |
| 43654 | Have you not told me over and over again that you are burning to accompany us, that you would infinitely prefer marching to waiting here? |
| 43654 | He also said that his raiders had gone eastward a month''s journey, and had seen from a high hill( Kassololo? |
| 43654 | He asks me to banish(?) |
| 43654 | How can they all be brought out of here? |
| 43654 | How could it be otherwise with the pioneers''shouts, cries, noise of cutting and crushing, and pounding of trees, the murmur of a large caravan? |
| 43654 | How could the Arabs of Ujiji resist the Wajiji and Warundi, or how could those of Unyamyembé live among the bowmen and spearmen of Unyamwezi? |
| 43654 | How dead? |
| 43654 | How do you like it?" |
| 43654 | How far does the forest reach inland? |
| 43654 | How far was it permissible for me to deviate from my course? |
| 43654 | However, will you leave the Pool? |
| 43654 | I remember the circumstance well?" |
| 43654 | I shook hands with all, and asked which was Emin Pasha? |
| 43654 | I turn to Mr. Bonny, and ask,"Were you not all anxious to be at work?" |
| 43654 | I wonder if any one will minister unto us?" |
| 43654 | If he with his 4000 soldiers appealed for help, what could we effect with 173? |
| 43654 | If not, what had occurred? |
| 43654 | Is it all in his stomach? |
| 43654 | Is it no hoax? |
| 43654 | Is it not the fear of this desertion that was one of the reasons I chose the Congo? |
| 43654 | Now tell me, who would you wish for your second?" |
| 43654 | One asked my servant with a grim smile,"Did you say the other day that you believed there was much honey in these brown paper nests of the wasps? |
| 43654 | Or perhaps you meditate leaving it to Nubar Pasha?" |
| 43654 | Pressing his hand, I said,"Well, Bonny, how are you? |
| 43654 | Say that you reach the Congo, and are nearing civilization; how will you maintain your people, for food must then be bought for money or goods? |
| 43654 | Scores of voices would cry out,"Wherein lies this fellow''s merit? |
| 43654 | See, is not my body a ruin?" |
| 43654 | She cried out,"It is true, then? |
| 43654 | Sick, I suppose?" |
| 43654 | The King of the Belgians? |
| 43654 | The Parasite echoed,"Where are you going?" |
| 43654 | The age of miracles is past, it is said, but why should they be? |
| 43654 | The fifth rain of this month began at 8 A.M. Had we not enough afflictions without this perpetual rain? |
| 43654 | The first Speaker said,"Hey, strangers, where are you going?" |
| 43654 | The men crowded up the slope eagerly with inquiring open- eyed looks, which, before they worded their thoughts, we knew meant"Is it true? |
| 43654 | The pioneers halted, reflecting, and remarking somewhat after this manner:"What does this mean? |
| 43654 | They asked,"How can the master tell? |
| 43654 | They said, with solemn shaking of their heads,"Know you that such and such a man is dead? |
| 43654 | Tippu- Tib opened his eyes and snapped them rapidly, as his custom is, and asked,"Me?" |
| 43654 | Troup?" |
| 43654 | Was the man deaf and dumb? |
| 43654 | Well, what do you think of the honey now? |
| 43654 | Well, where is Jameson?" |
| 43654 | What are these doing? |
| 43654 | What are they? |
| 43654 | What can it be made of? |
| 43654 | What could I have possibly said that was any way peculiar to cling to your memory like this? |
| 43654 | What could possibly have happened except wholesale desertion caused by some misunderstanding between the officers and men? |
| 43654 | What did he say to you before you left him?" |
| 43654 | What did such names convey to dull senses and blank minds? |
| 43654 | What do you say?" |
| 43654 | What do you want to look after 600 men in your camp doing nothing, waiting for the steamer? |
| 43654 | What does the field hand want on the Continent? |
| 43654 | What for?" |
| 43654 | What had the Government officials to offer? |
| 43654 | What is such a sum to a man about to be shelved? |
| 43654 | What men are these? |
| 43654 | What nameless horrors awaited them further on none could conjecture? |
| 43654 | What ought we to say of Hicks? |
| 43654 | What position remains for the methodical, business- like, and zealous Mr. John Rose Troup? |
| 43654 | What possible chance could Tippu- Tib, Abed bin Salim, Ugarrowwa and Kilonga- Longa have against the Basongora and Bakusu? |
| 43654 | What remains for the faithful Jameson,"whose alacrity, capacity, and willingness to work are unbounded,"to do? |
| 43654 | What right has he to the honour of a shroud and a burial?" |
| 43654 | What then? |
| 43654 | What was said that was in any way peculiar?" |
| 43654 | What will the Egyptian Government think of my conduct in venturing to treat of such a matter?" |
| 43654 | What would the Government do with such a mass of people? |
| 43654 | When do you think all this will happen? |
| 43654 | When has this self- interest of the people been cultivated or fostered? |
| 43654 | Whence are they?" |
| 43654 | Whence do they come?" |
| 43654 | Where are the sentries? |
| 43654 | Where are these fifty dollar men?" |
| 43654 | Where is the Major? |
| 43654 | Where is the promising, intelligent, and capable Ward? |
| 43654 | Which of them has seen grass? |
| 43654 | Which way did you come here? |
| 43654 | While they shot their arrows, and crept nearer to their intended victims, they cried,"_ Ku- la- la heh lelo?_"--"Where will you sleep to- night? |
| 43654 | Who ever heard of good people coming from that direction? |
| 43654 | Who is your chief? |
| 43654 | Who will assist you to convey your people to their homes? |
| 43654 | Whom after all does this bloody seizure of ivory enrich? |
| 43654 | Whose wish was that? |
| 43654 | Why I have given him free passage and board for himself and followers from Zanzibar to Stanley Falls? |
| 43654 | Why I have shared the kid and the lamb with him?" |
| 43654 | Why are they not at their posts?" |
| 43654 | Why did he fail? |
| 43654 | Why do you adjure me to abandon the Mission? |
| 43654 | Why do you grieve to- day?" |
| 43654 | Why do you not go on and try your luck elsewhere? |
| 43654 | Why does it not tell us, then, that we may see and believe? |
| 43654 | Why how can you-- grown to the rank of Major-- ask such questions, or doubt the why and wherefore of acts which are as clear as daylight? |
| 43654 | Why not attempt the carriage of this ivory to the Congo? |
| 43654 | Why not? |
| 43654 | Why should any one be disloyal? |
| 43654 | Why should the herd hear State policy?" |
| 43654 | Why should we think of the distresses of to- morrow? |
| 43654 | Why should we wonder that the servant runs away from his master when he can not feed him?" |
| 43654 | Why, Major, I am surprised that you who have seen Stanley Falls, and some hundreds of the Arabs should ask the question? |
| 43654 | Why, whoever put you in mind of that word? |
| 43654 | Why? |
| 43654 | Will it tell him which is the path? |
| 43654 | Will that instrument show him the road? |
| 43654 | Will we carry a letter for you to Unyoro? |
| 43654 | Will we sell a canoe? |
| 43654 | With eighty rifles against probably 3000, perhaps 5000 guns? |
| 43654 | Would I be right in leaving them to their fate? |
| 43654 | Would it feed them? |
| 43654 | Would it have been prudent for me to have left this man in such a state? |
| 43654 | Would it not be consigning them all to ruin? |
| 43654 | You are the carriers of the boat-- not we, Do you speak, what shall be done unto her?" |
| 43654 | _ Malleju_ with a deep deep voice asked about you-- his brother? |
| 43654 | and what do you think of them now?" |
| 43654 | cried the native boy--"Nyanza? |
| 43654 | do n''t you know you are surrounded? |
| 43654 | do n''t you think it is rather a bitter sort?" |
| 43654 | master, how do you like that style for high acting?" |
| 43654 | was it he said? |
| 43654 | what can he be doing there?" |
| 35369 | A fish,quoth the man of Hurrur,"what is that?" |
| 35369 | A head is ahead, is it not, all the world over? |
| 35369 | Am I then a dog,he continued, in the highest indignation,"and not worth the trouble of propitiating? |
| 35369 | And sheep and goats? |
| 35369 | And their Negoos, does he carry_ debaboch_[ Umbrellas of state], and make great_ zumachas_[ Military expeditions] with warriors like these? |
| 35369 | Are my children well?--have they entered in safety? 35369 Are these people pagans?" |
| 35369 | Are they Islams? |
| 35369 | Are you all well? 35369 Call you this English gold?" |
| 35369 | Do all of your nation thus burn their meat? |
| 35369 | Do n''t you know that the hole has been burnt, and therefore that it_ must_ be repaired with another colour? |
| 35369 | Have all my children arrived in safety? |
| 35369 | Have you a better house than this in your country? |
| 35369 | Have you any such in your country? |
| 35369 | Have you mashela, and daboo, and tullah in your country? |
| 35369 | How are you? 35369 How could that be?" |
| 35369 | How did I know? 35369 How do you do?" |
| 35369 | How have you passed the night? 35369 Is he dead? |
| 35369 | Let his friendship go into the sea,quoth His Majesty, who had overheard this appalling announcement--"Is not he an accursed Moslem? |
| 35369 | Manina teni_? |
| 35369 | My children,he returned deliberately,"how can this be? |
| 35369 | Sahela Selassie ye moot? |
| 35369 | Shall I leave my children in the day of their distress,he exclaimed,"and the seat of my fathers to be polluted by the accursed touch of the rebel? |
| 35369 | Then what are they? |
| 35369 | Was Subagadis not slain on the appearance of one, and did another not bring defeat to Ras Ali? |
| 35369 | What can you expect from that besotted old man? |
| 35369 | What do you know about the Hawash? |
| 35369 | What fault have you to find with her performance? |
| 35369 | What have you gained by this battle? |
| 35369 | What need is there now of this? |
| 35369 | What think you of my Galla ditch? |
| 35369 | What''s that, what do you say? |
| 35369 | Whence comes this_ maskal_? |
| 35369 | Where did the commander learn to throw a spear? |
| 35369 | Where is the man who was to supply water on the road? |
| 35369 | Where is the road? |
| 35369 | Where is thy brother? |
| 35369 | Where now is your friend Ali Mohammad? |
| 35369 | Who are the foxes,they invariably inquire,"but the kings and the governors of the land, who seek only after worldly vanities? |
| 35369 | Who gave_ that man_ tobacco? |
| 35369 | Who has seen the Eesah, who has heard the Eesah? |
| 35369 | Who has seen the Eesah, who has heard the Eesah? |
| 35369 | Who is the King of Shoa, that he should trample upon men braver than himself? 35369 Whose dog is Hajji Abdallah Kurmani?" |
| 35369 | Why do n''t you grow taller as well as sharper? |
| 35369 | Why do not my children ask for what they want? 35369 Why do you do that?" |
| 35369 | Why not? |
| 35369 | Why tarried ye in the tent? 35369 You are a tall man,"quoth Aboo Bekr drolly,"suppose we shorten you by the legs?" |
| 35369 | _ Fein tero_? 35369 what is his father?" |
| 35369 | whither are you going? |
| 35369 | --"How, no mules?" |
| 35369 | And what nation is better qualified to confer such inestimable gifts, or more likely to profit by them, when judiciously bestowed, than Great Britain? |
| 35369 | Are they Moslems, or Pagans, or even the enemies of the kingdom? |
| 35369 | Are you able to build boats?" |
| 35369 | Are you all well? |
| 35369 | Are you in perfect health?" |
| 35369 | Are you not well?" |
| 35369 | Are you perfectly well? |
| 35369 | Are you quite well? |
| 35369 | Are you quite well?" |
| 35369 | Are you very well? |
| 35369 | Are you well? |
| 35369 | Are you well? |
| 35369 | Are you well? |
| 35369 | Are you well? |
| 35369 | Are you well? |
| 35369 | Are your wives and all your children happy, and are your houses prosperous? |
| 35369 | At all events he must contrive to make it appear so, otherwise what would become of his primary thesis, that the Embassy"fell into such disrepute?" |
| 35369 | Before Dr Krapf quitted Massowah? |
| 35369 | But how is this proved? |
| 35369 | But how on these points did he happen to remain so much in the dark? |
| 35369 | But where is the Abyssinian who is proof against bribery and corruption? |
| 35369 | But who knows? |
| 35369 | Ca n''t you keep the road? |
| 35369 | Dahena karamoon? |
| 35369 | Dahena sanabatachoon? |
| 35369 | Do the Woema to this hour not pay tribute to Zeyla in acknowledgment of the assistance rendered? |
| 35369 | Do you conceive that I can always consent to receive the paltry pittance of rice with which I have hitherto been put off? |
| 35369 | Do you see?" |
| 35369 | Ejegoon dahena natchoon_?" |
| 35369 | Ejegoon dahenaderachoon? |
| 35369 | Had he not all the great Abyssinian authorities at his elbow? |
| 35369 | Has the spirit of the foul hare entered into the breast of the warrior? |
| 35369 | Have I not always told you that my people are bad? |
| 35369 | Have my children had a good journey? |
| 35369 | Have they cattle?" |
| 35369 | Have they entered in safety? |
| 35369 | Have you been quite well since our last interview? |
| 35369 | Have you been quite well since our last interview? |
| 35369 | Have you no medicine to drive it from myself?" |
| 35369 | Have you no medicine to drive them away?" |
| 35369 | Have you rested very well? |
| 35369 | Have your flocks and your herds multiplied, and are your fields and your pastures covered with plenty?" |
| 35369 | Hereat the Negoos waxing wroth, exclaimed,"Am I then the vassal of Ras Ali, that he thus interrogates me?" |
| 35369 | His Majesty inquired, with well- feigned simplicity,"Of what use should my children''s letters be to me, who understand not their language?" |
| 35369 | How can I reply to this? |
| 35369 | How do ye do? |
| 35369 | How happens it that his oracles grew suddenly dumb when he consulted them on the subject of dates? |
| 35369 | How have you passed your time? |
| 35369 | How have you spent the rainy season? |
| 35369 | However, supposing I had here been wrong, would it therefore have been fair to infer that on every other point I must be wrong also? |
| 35369 | In the name of the three kaliphs where are you going to?" |
| 35369 | Is he dead?" |
| 35369 | Is not Birkenich my daughter?" |
| 35369 | Is the commander a babe that he thus trifles with the safety of the caravan? |
| 35369 | Is the land of his ancestors invaded? |
| 35369 | Is the shield no longer to clash, nor the broad spear to glitter in the valley of Gobaad? |
| 35369 | Is this the scene Where the old earthquake''s demon taught her young Ruin? |
| 35369 | Kayf halut, how fares it with your health?" |
| 35369 | Must I reprint all the works which had been previously published, and point out the additions I have made? |
| 35369 | My control extends not to these disturbed districts; and if blows should be struck, what account shall I render unto the king my lord?" |
| 35369 | My petition was accompanied by the enquiry,"how I should be able to represent his proceedings to the Government by which I had been sent?" |
| 35369 | Now is this animal found in your country, and how do they call its name?" |
| 35369 | Now, what say you? |
| 35369 | On presenting himself before the judgment- seat, it will be asked"what he would have?" |
| 35369 | Repeated interrogatories of"_ Fein toro_?" |
| 35369 | Shall I on the second point enlighten the critic, or shall I not? |
| 35369 | The Mohammadans, again, he says, never drink blood; and why? |
| 35369 | The slumberer is started from sleep by the dinning"How do ye do?" |
| 35369 | They observe no fast, and wear no_ mateb_ as a badge of their religion Is there any grass in their country?" |
| 35369 | They will demolish you; and what answer am I then to give? |
| 35369 | Upon the remarks on"mafeesh,"I scarcely know what to say; but if he were to ask me,--is there any point or sense in them? |
| 35369 | Was the ox whose blood was employed killed in the name of the holy Trinity?" |
| 35369 | Were these their toys?--or did a sea Of fire envelope once this dismal cape?" |
| 35369 | Were they not all, whilst there, legally subject to his caprice, and was it not prudent to endeavour to emancipate them from that caprice? |
| 35369 | What answer should I give if my children were to be demolished by buffaloes in the kingdom of Shoa? |
| 35369 | What does it signify, that practically Sahela Selassie had in many instances permitted Europeans to enter his country? |
| 35369 | What have I to give in return for such wealth? |
| 35369 | What is your advice in this matter? |
| 35369 | What then becomes of his prodigious influence, since it did not suffice for his own protection? |
| 35369 | What then is to be said of the Abyssinian fiddle, whose squeaking voice presided at this festive board? |
| 35369 | What true believer in the fair province of Kurman would ever have suspected Hajji Abdallah of bringing his beard to so vile a market?" |
| 35369 | What was it? |
| 35369 | When was the house ever destitute of_ quanta_ or of_ qualima_? |
| 35369 | Where shall I find her equal? |
| 35369 | Where was his_ fidus Achates_, the"Arqueem Nobba?" |
| 35369 | Where was the erudite individual who weighed my classical attainments in the balance, and found them wanting? |
| 35369 | Who could prepare_ shiro_, and_ wotz_, and_ dilli_, like Etagainya? |
| 35369 | Why dost thou cast us down?" |
| 35369 | Will he, therefore, argue, that there is no such thing as a Mohammadan thief? |
| 35369 | Wokao? |
| 35369 | Would the Woema meanwhile destroy the seat of learning and of religion? |
| 35369 | Would the sons brandish the gory spear where their fathers were wo nt to fall prostrate in prayer? |
| 35369 | [ Note 1] and who ever asked for_ tullah_ or for_ tedj_, that she did not reply,`_ Malto_,''There is abundance? |
| 35369 | ` Ali''s to be sure,''growled a sleepy voice;` what do you want with it?'' |
| 35369 | ` And this head in the scuppers, pray whose is it?'' |
| 35369 | ` And whose knees are these?'' |
| 35369 | and whether in his present state he held dominion over the angels? |
| 35369 | and who the birds but the priests and bishops, who in hymns and hallelujahs thus fly upwards, and build their nests in heaven?" |
| 35369 | and"_ Wogerri maani_?" |
| 35369 | are you quite well? |
| 35369 | are you well? |
| 35369 | he exclaimed reproachfully:"do not I know that you would administer to Sahela Selassie nothing that could do him mischief? |
| 35369 | he exclaimed with a sneer to one of his charge, who was so amusing himself within hearing;"what are you whistling for? |
| 35369 | how could the sacred volume experience any better fate at the hand of infidels?" |
| 35369 | inquired the sporting monarch on one of these occasions, adjuring the informant by his own illustrious life;"are they well surrounded?" |
| 35369 | repeated the dragoman who interpreted His Majesty''s salutations.--"How have you passed your time? |
| 35369 | was the unvarying reply.--"How are you, and how have you been? |
| 18794 | A previous speaker has referred to the help of the Lord, but who is able to fathom His counsels? 18794 And ought we not to be convinced that independence is now irretrievably lost? |
| 18794 | Are you General De Wet? |
| 18794 | Are you afraid of things like that? |
| 18794 | Are you mad? 18794 But are we really justified in prolonging the struggle, and making still further sacrifices? |
| 18794 | But has nobody on horseback crossed here? |
| 18794 | But where is your gun? |
| 18794 | Do baboons walk across? |
| 18794 | Do you mean to tell me,he asked,"that you are going to give the English a free hand, whilst your men take their holidays?" |
| 18794 | Do you want more of my reasons? 18794 General, when shall we come to the blockhouses?" |
| 18794 | Has a man never ridden across here? |
| 18794 | Have we not arrived at the stage of our history when we must pray,''Thy will be done''? 18794 How is it,"they would ask,"that we are not now free men? |
| 18794 | Is that satisfactory? |
| 18794 | It will be asked why, if we have kept up the struggle for two years and a half, can we not still continue to do so? 18794 Let every one consider this well: Is he prepared to sacrifice the nation on the shrine of his own ambition? |
| 18794 | The question still remains, What are we to do? 18794 The sacrifice must be made; is not this also a trial of our faith? |
| 18794 | There has been talk about fighting to the bitter end; but has not the bitter end already come? 18794 Those who wish to continue the war are influenced chiefly by hope; but on what is this hope founded? |
| 18794 | What can be the meaning of this? |
| 18794 | What do you mean by riding ahead like this? |
| 18794 | What is there left to hope for? 18794 What was he like?" |
| 18794 | What, then, is the prevailing feeling in the Orange Free State? 18794 Where is Veldtcornet--?" |
| 18794 | Will you give us your word of honour,he asked me when he caught sight of the gun,"not to stir from your position till we have got ten miles away? |
| 18794 | A year ago both parties had been inspired by faith, but what had been the result? |
| 18794 | Again, could the war be continued when their commandos were so much weakened, and when food was so scarce? |
| 18794 | And critical our condition certainly is; so that I am not surprised that some of us are asking,''What hope have we now in continuing the struggle?'' |
| 18794 | And has this brought us independence? |
| 18794 | And how can we expect those not their own kith and kin to be willing to give up liberty for their sakes? |
| 18794 | And how could it be otherwise? |
| 18794 | And how do you imagine that this arrangement could be carried on?" |
| 18794 | And should the commandos in time become so weak as to be forced to surrender unconditionally, what then would be the fate of the officers? |
| 18794 | And the Boer women-- did they lose courage with this before their eyes? |
| 18794 | And the abandoned tracts-- to whom will they belong? |
| 18794 | And to the families in the camps? |
| 18794 | And we? |
| 18794 | And what could they hope to gain by continuing the struggle? |
| 18794 | And what did that messenger say? |
| 18794 | And what does the voice of reason say? |
| 18794 | And what real advantage had accrued from his successes in the veldt? |
| 18794 | And why? |
| 18794 | And why? |
| 18794 | Are our affairs darker now? |
| 18794 | Are we going to say,''We will continue the struggle and leave these districts to their fate''? |
| 18794 | Are we not to desist until every man of us is in captivity, in exile, or in his grave? |
| 18794 | Are we to continue the war? |
| 18794 | Are we to retain our independence by ceding a part of our territories? |
| 18794 | Are you satisfied with this?" |
| 18794 | At length the moment of decision came, and what course remained open to us? |
| 18794 | At the same time they said,''We are anxious for peace; will you make other proposals?'' |
| 18794 | Breijtenbach( Utrecht) urged that a definite yes or no must be given to the question, Is the war to continue? |
| 18794 | But I would ask another question:''What hope had we at the beginning of the war?'' |
| 18794 | But am I only to consider myself? |
| 18794 | But could not the delegates continue to stand by one another, and make a covenant with the Lord? |
| 18794 | But how are we to do so? |
| 18794 | But how could it have been otherwise? |
| 18794 | But how is it now with us? |
| 18794 | But how shall we negotiate? |
| 18794 | But how? |
| 18794 | But if we go on with the war until we are forced to surrender, who will then take care of them? |
| 18794 | But the question for us to answer is this: Are we going forwards or backwards? |
| 18794 | But was it not, perhaps, prompted by a desire to make a fine speech, which would go down to posterity? |
| 18794 | But what did I hear? |
| 18794 | But what did it matter? |
| 18794 | But what grounds for hope were there when the war began? |
| 18794 | But what happened? |
| 18794 | But what happened? |
| 18794 | But what is''the bitter end''? |
| 18794 | But what really happened? |
| 18794 | But what tangible reason for hope was there at the beginning of the war? |
| 18794 | But what was faith? |
| 18794 | But what were the arguments against going on with the war? |
| 18794 | But what were we to do now? |
| 18794 | But why were they of this mind? |
| 18794 | But would that be possible? |
| 18794 | But, as it was, the burghers kept on asking:"Where shall I put this rifle, General? |
| 18794 | By what right do you usurp that title? |
| 18794 | CHAPTER XXVII Was Ours a Guerilla War? |
| 18794 | Can it be right to sacrifice a nation which has fought as the African nation has done?" |
| 18794 | Can we become faithless to the hundreds of killed and prisoners, who, trusting in our firmness, offered their lives and freedom for the fatherland? |
| 18794 | Can we now-- when it is merely a question of banishment-- shrink from our duty? |
| 18794 | Can you not see that the whole course of events was a miracle from beginning to end? |
| 18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Am I to understand that you mean that we are getting away from the point in discussion?" |
| 18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Are we to understand that our proposal is now altogether rejected?" |
| 18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Then I understand that you are going to be guided only by the Middelburg proposals?" |
| 18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Will not a Dutch translation be annexed?" |
| 18794 | Could England then be considered to be annexed by the other nation, and could the enemy term the English"Guerillas"? |
| 18794 | Could any one ever have thought before the war that the twentieth century could show such barbarities? |
| 18794 | Could that be called encouragement? |
| 18794 | Cronje''s pitiable condition confronted us, and we had but one thought-- could we relieve him? |
| 18794 | Did I call myself a man? |
| 18794 | Did it not realize that if the case of the Republic was hopeless in Europe the deputation would send word to that effect? |
| 18794 | Did the money they brought ever do us any good? |
| 18794 | Does it not show that He is minded to form us, by this war, into a nation worthy of the name? |
| 18794 | Does not this prove that no other Government is willing to receive it? |
| 18794 | For how could our diminutive army hope to stand against the overwhelming numbers at the enemy''s command? |
| 18794 | For instance, if you come to the conclusion that we have exhausted every expedient, will you still continue the struggle? |
| 18794 | For ten or twelve years? |
| 18794 | For what has the gold done for us? |
| 18794 | For what nation exists, or has existed, which has not a historical record whether to its advantage or to its disadvantage? |
| 18794 | From which side should the attack take place? |
| 18794 | General Smuts:"Is it your opinion that our proposal must be set aside?" |
| 18794 | Had I then to go on from commando to commando, to undergo everywhere the martyrdom of beholding ceaseless surrenders? |
| 18794 | Had the meeting lost its confidence in that deputation? |
| 18794 | Have we not also one- third of our army left? |
| 18794 | He had consulted his burghers and their women- folk; he had asked them,"What conditions of peace will you accept?" |
| 18794 | How am I to explain the inexplicable? |
| 18794 | How are we to transport it from one district to another? |
| 18794 | How can I describe my feelings when I saw Bloemfontein in the hands of the English? |
| 18794 | How could we have endured it?" |
| 18794 | How did he use it? |
| 18794 | How do matters stand now? |
| 18794 | How many are there now? |
| 18794 | How was it to be explained that two hundred and forty thousand troops had failed to exterminate two small Republics? |
| 18794 | How would the delegates face their families on their return, after the sacrifice of independence? |
| 18794 | How would they be able to meet their burghers with such an answer as that? |
| 18794 | How, then, could we think of making a stand, with our tiny forces, against two hundred and forty thousand men, with three or four hundred guns? |
| 18794 | I asked myself, and if so, why did I run away? |
| 18794 | I heard burghers muttering:--"Suppose the enemy should aim those guns at us-- what will become of us then? |
| 18794 | I pitied the poor"Tommies,"but what else could I do but order them to march with me? |
| 18794 | I therefore ask, Is the difference so great that, in order for England to obtain her object, an entirely new status must be called into existence?" |
| 18794 | I thought at first that it was only some cattle being shot for food, but all at once there were more shots, and what did we see? |
| 18794 | I will answer this question by another-- who first broke the terms of this oath?--the burghers or the English military authorities? |
| 18794 | If in two years we have been reduced from sixty thousand fighting men to half that number, where will our army be after another ten years of war? |
| 18794 | If such has been the history of the past year, in what sort of condition shall we be at the end of the present one? |
| 18794 | If the famous Cronje were captured, how could any ordinary burgher be expected to continue his resistance? |
| 18794 | If the_ whole_ becomes annexed by us, how then can a_ part_ be ceded by you?" |
| 18794 | If there is not a great deal going on in Europe which England wants to hide from us, why is she so careful not to let us see European journals? |
| 18794 | If they had trusted in God at the beginning, why did they not continue to trust in Him? |
| 18794 | If we reject this proposal, what prospects have we in the future? |
| 18794 | If_ we_ are united, then will the nation be united also; but if we are divided, in what a plight will the nation find itself?" |
| 18794 | In the second place, he would ask how it was they had not been allowed to meet their deputation? |
| 18794 | In what position do you think you are placing Lord Kitchener and myself? |
| 18794 | Is it not my first duty to look at the interests of my nation? |
| 18794 | Is it possible? |
| 18794 | Is it to come when all of us are either banished or in our graves? |
| 18794 | Is not a loss such as this, in so short a time as two and a half years, a serious matter? |
| 18794 | Is not this the bitter end? |
| 18794 | Is there no sound of approaching footsteps? |
| 18794 | It is not too late to save it now, but who can tell what the future holds in store for us? |
| 18794 | It is possible that a war may arise in Europe from which we shall gain something, but what right have we to expect such a contingency? |
| 18794 | It may be asked, however, why the deputation did not send a report of its own? |
| 18794 | It might become necessary for the commandos to leave the district, and if so, what was to become of the families? |
| 18794 | It was necessary to act-- but how? |
| 18794 | It was there that General Piet de Wet came to me and asked if I still saw any chance of being able to continue the struggle? |
| 18794 | It was, however, very tedious work, for how could any of us be sure that we were not placing the after- oxen in front and the fore- oxen behind? |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Am I to understand by this that it is an unlimited amount, or does it come within the amount decided on by the Volksraad?" |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Are you prepared to set aside your present proposal and to hand in another one bearing a closer resemblance to that of Middelburg? |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Do you accept the annexation?" |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Do you mean by your proposal that the Boers will become British citizens?" |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Is it necessary to make a proposal about this?" |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Is this the only point you wish to bring forward, or are there others in addition?" |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Well, would two or three million be sufficient? |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Will you then consider yourselves British subjects? |
| 18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Would that meet your difficulty?" |
| 18794 | Lord Milner:"Are we to understand that the Middelburg proposals are not according to the mind of your people?" |
| 18794 | Lord Milner:"Do you wish us to refer your proposals to His Majesty''s Government?" |
| 18794 | Lord Milner:"What is the good then?" |
| 18794 | Lord Milner:"What is the next point you wish to raise? |
| 18794 | Lord Milner:"You mean that one part would become a British Colony of the ordinary type, and another part a protected Republic?" |
| 18794 | Meanwhile our friends(?) |
| 18794 | Men as lovable or as valiant there might be, but where should I find a man who combined so many virtues and good qualities in one person? |
| 18794 | Mr. De Clercq then addressed the meeting in the following words:"The question before us is, whether or not the war can be continued? |
| 18794 | Must they still continue to shed blood? |
| 18794 | Must we then not ask ourselves, What will be the best for the nation as a whole? |
| 18794 | Nearly all with one accord sprang up and asked,"Who are you?" |
| 18794 | Need I say that these men had to be captured? |
| 18794 | Now, supposing that we can hold out another year, what should we gain by doing so? |
| 18794 | On all sides one heard the question,"Where are we really going? |
| 18794 | On intervention? |
| 18794 | On our arms? |
| 18794 | On what then? |
| 18794 | One must ask: If the nation were here, what would it wish to be done? |
| 18794 | Or can we lose faith in a just God, who has so wonderfully upheld us till now? |
| 18794 | Or does it mean the time when the nation has fought until it never can fight again? |
| 18794 | Or if we were all killed, what could we do for them? |
| 18794 | Or that, if the war were to be continued, the people would gain any advantage which that proposal did not give them? |
| 18794 | Rather, will it not enable the enemy to concentrate still more? |
| 18794 | Shall such a nation perish? |
| 18794 | Shall we make a new proposal?" |
| 18794 | Shall we say continue the war, or shall we approach the enemy and make a proposal? |
| 18794 | Should they then continue the war? |
| 18794 | Should we serve their interests by continuing the war? |
| 18794 | Some asked what were the chances of success? |
| 18794 | Some of the delegates set their hopes on the European deputation, but what did that deputation say a year ago? |
| 18794 | Some will reply,''Go on with the war,''Yes, but for how long? |
| 18794 | The President concluded this very remarkable and powerful letter with the question:--"Are we again to leave the Colonial burghers in the lurch? |
| 18794 | The burghers could not understand this, and began to grumble about it-- what could their General mean? |
| 18794 | The district would have to be abandoned, and what would then be the fate of the families, which even now could only be scantily provided for? |
| 18794 | The military authorities without any doubt; what other answer can one give? |
| 18794 | The question now is, Is there anything further that we can do? |
| 18794 | The question was,"Which way shall we go?" |
| 18794 | The reader, perusing them, may well pause in surprise and cry out,"Can such things be possible?" |
| 18794 | There were a large number of burghers in the veldt to continue the war-- what has become of our independence?" |
| 18794 | To flee-- what could be more bitter than that? |
| 18794 | To the question, What probability was there of their being able to continue the struggle? |
| 18794 | WAS OURS A GUERILLA WAR? |
| 18794 | Was it possible for one part of the nation to continue fighting without the other? |
| 18794 | Was it that our Governments relied on foreign intervention? |
| 18794 | Was not the aim in some cases that future generations might recall these speeches when they were told of the brave fight our men had made? |
| 18794 | Was nothing on this earth then solid or lasting? |
| 18794 | We are told that there is food here, and food there; but how are we to get at it? |
| 18794 | We asked each other in wonder,"Is it possible? |
| 18794 | We asked ourselves what we should do without the President at our meetings? |
| 18794 | We think our cause a righteous one, but are we willing to die for it? |
| 18794 | Were they again going to decide to continue their resistance? |
| 18794 | Were they now to abandon these Colonists, and-- thinking only about saving themselves-- leave them to fight on alone? |
| 18794 | Were they, then, to surrender unconditionally? |
| 18794 | What advantage can there then be in persisting in the struggle? |
| 18794 | What are we to do with them? |
| 18794 | What benefit have they ever done us? |
| 18794 | What can we have to do at Winburg?" |
| 18794 | What could we do now? |
| 18794 | What could we do now? |
| 18794 | What grounds have we for expecting that we may yet be victorious? |
| 18794 | What had followed on them? |
| 18794 | What has the nation done to deserve extinction? |
| 18794 | What have I to do with this horse?" |
| 18794 | What have we gained since June, 1901? |
| 18794 | What more, then, was there left for them to do? |
| 18794 | What reason had they for wishing to prolong this struggle? |
| 18794 | What right shall we have to intercede for these unfortunate ones when we have rejected the proposals of the English Government? |
| 18794 | What right, then, had the delegates to give up the war on the basis of the proposal now before them? |
| 18794 | What shall we gain by going on? |
| 18794 | What then was I to do? |
| 18794 | What was I to do? |
| 18794 | What was I to do? |
| 18794 | What was I to do? |
| 18794 | What was our total strength when we began this war? |
| 18794 | What was to become of them if the burghers, by refusing to come to terms with the enemy, should no longer be able to act as their mutual protectors? |
| 18794 | What were we to do? |
| 18794 | What will the world say of these young burghers? |
| 18794 | What will then become of these families? |
| 18794 | What would it be to have to give up that name for ever? |
| 18794 | What would their progeny say of them if they were to persist in the struggle and thus lose everything they had possessed? |
| 18794 | What, he asked, were the arguments in favour of continuing the war? |
| 18794 | What, moreover, was to happen to the prisoners of war, if the struggle were to be continued? |
| 18794 | What, then, is the answer to be? |
| 18794 | What, then, is to be our judgment on this act of Prinsloo and of the other chief officers in command of our forces behind the Roodebergen? |
| 18794 | When on the following night we were again in the saddle I heard from many a mouth,"Whither now?" |
| 18794 | When the Kaffir came out to me, I pointed to the Magalies Mountains, and asked:--"Right before us, can a man cross there?" |
| 18794 | When we had gone up about half- way we heard the challenge of a sentry:--"Halt; who goes there?" |
| 18794 | Where is the''honourable peace''for us? |
| 18794 | Which of them could say that he could have obtained better terms for the people than those contained in that proposal? |
| 18794 | Who goes there?" |
| 18794 | Why should we lose our trust in God? |
| 18794 | Why then should Germany interfere in favour of the Republics, when she has everything to lose by such a course of action? |
| 18794 | Why then should they argue any longer? |
| 18794 | Why this sudden change in his plans? |
| 18794 | Will not this make our remorse all the more bitter? |
| 18794 | Will this make us stronger? |
| 18794 | Will you give us your permission to adjourn for a moment in order to discuss the matter?" |
| 18794 | Will you not continue fighting until you are relieved? |
| 18794 | Would England then be entitled to call their antagonists"Guerillas"? |
| 18794 | Would it not be better to come to some agreement with the enemy, while we have the opportunity? |
| 18794 | Would they not lose everything, and be banished into the bargain? |
| 18794 | [ 120]"What, then, are we to do? |
| 18794 | [ Footnote 22:"How is it with you?"] |
| 18794 | _ Weak_, did I say? |
| 18794 | that is very surprising; but shall we retain this power long? |
| 20400 | And why? |
| 20400 | Any Colonials? |
| 20400 | Anything serious, sir? |
| 20400 | Anything serious? |
| 20400 | Are you in a giant hurry to get back to Henniker''s? |
| 20400 | Can you spare me, sir? |
| 20400 | Come and sit down, Mr Intelligence; have you raised a band of robbers yet? |
| 20400 | Did you ever see such fellows? 20400 Do you know where to find him?" |
| 20400 | Do you speak Dutch and Kaffir? |
| 20400 | Eggs-- butter? 20400 Have you got him?" |
| 20400 | How about Zwingelspan? |
| 20400 | How did you see me? 20400 How do you mean?" |
| 20400 | How was we to know, sir, as how they were generals? 20400 In what capacity do you want me?" |
| 20400 | Mr Intelligence, what do you make the distance between this and the pass this side of Fauresmith? |
| 20400 | No; who are you? |
| 20400 | Not Henniker''s? |
| 20400 | Oh, it''s you, is it? |
| 20400 | Oh, you are from the general, are you? 20400 Railway Staff Officer? |
| 20400 | That I do n''t wear kid gloves----? |
| 20400 | Well, my pocket Ulysses, what is the extent of your adventure? |
| 20400 | Well, will you come down to a farm over there, and back me up in everything that I do? 20400 What do you mean?" |
| 20400 | What do you want? |
| 20400 | What is it, Tiger? |
| 20400 | What proof have you that it is not all a plant on the part of your friend, Mr Intelligence? 20400 Where have you come from?" |
| 20400 | Where is headquarters? |
| 20400 | Where is your man? 20400 Where the devil are you galloping to? |
| 20400 | Where''s a map? |
| 20400 | Which is the brigadier? |
| 20400 | Which means----? |
| 20400 | Who are these? |
| 20400 | Who is it? |
| 20400 | Who is the commandant? |
| 20400 | Who the h-- ll are these fellows?--are they tame Boers? |
| 20400 | Whose column? |
| 20400 | Will you canter up and mark out a camp? 20400 [ 7]"And your sons?" |
| 20400 | ''What commando is this?--is it Judge Hertzog''s?'' |
| 20400 | ''Will you give me your hand on that, colonel?'' |
| 20400 | ( furiously)_"You d----d young cub!--is this the way you treat your seniors? |
| 20400 | (_ Intelligence Officer and the Tiger canter on._)_ Tiger._"Please, sir, did he say that the De Aar column was in?" |
| 20400 | (_ Roughly_) Now, throw it out,--what happened?" |
| 20400 | (_ The Intelligence officer nodded assent._) Then why do you detain our only chance? |
| 20400 | *****"Please, sir, can I speak to you a moment?" |
| 20400 | Also of what value are the British soldiers? |
| 20400 | Am I not of an age to formulate opinions of my own? |
| 20400 | And who can blame him? |
| 20400 | And why is this? |
| 20400 | Are you astonished that I should have mistaken your attitude towards us? |
| 20400 | Are you sure that he was leading you wrongly?" |
| 20400 | Are you with the main column?" |
| 20400 | As to my object in coming here, surely your Africander spy has informed you?" |
| 20400 | But can we ask the general to dinner?" |
| 20400 | But how does it affect the orders you issued last night?" |
| 20400 | But is there no other way by which the enemy can get to the Riet: by swinging round between Fauresmith and Jagersfontein, for instance?" |
| 20400 | But may not he have been told to tip us this yarn on purpose? |
| 20400 | But may we not be in the right position to- night? |
| 20400 | But what are you going to do with it? |
| 20400 | But where will you be?" |
| 20400 | But who may you be?" |
| 20400 | But with what object?" |
| 20400 | But you will say, How, if this is really the case, was it to be avoided? |
| 20400 | By the way, has the rest of the New Cavalry Brigade come in here? |
| 20400 | C._"The devil you have!--but do you realise what it means when you mutiny on active service?" |
| 20400 | Can any enemy within a mile have failed to hear it? |
| 20400 | Did I ever tell you about the Boer spies? |
| 20400 | Did you give him a guide, Mr Intelligence?" |
| 20400 | Did you hear that boy give an order? |
| 20400 | Did you kill him?" |
| 20400 | Do n''t you know that you should n''t approach mounted troops at that pace?" |
| 20400 | Do they often treat you to these protests?" |
| 20400 | Do you go straight in up to the elbows, or do you play about in kid gloves?" |
| 20400 | Do you know anything about staff work?" |
| 20400 | Do you know this country?" |
| 20400 | Five thousand!--did you count them, sergeant?" |
| 20400 | For what reason had he sent him? |
| 20400 | Hand her over to the supply officer,--he''s acting provost- marshal, is he not? |
| 20400 | Have you any other information confirming this theory?" |
| 20400 | Have you been into Strydenburg? |
| 20400 | Have you got a match?" |
| 20400 | Have you got any boys? |
| 20400 | Have you got your rifle loaded?" |
| 20400 | Have you had anything to eat? |
| 20400 | Have you told your men to rally on that farm?" |
| 20400 | He never looked up from the paper on which he was writing as he opened the following conversation--_ Pale Youth._"What can I do for you?" |
| 20400 | Here, signaller!--where is the brigade signaller?" |
| 20400 | Here, who is commanding the advance- guard? |
| 20400 | Here, you(_ and he beckoned a colonel in palpably just- out- from- England kit, who was standing by_); what are you doing here? |
| 20400 | His answer was characteristic:''Say, colonel, what do you want us for? |
| 20400 | How could I?" |
| 20400 | How could he be? |
| 20400 | How could he? |
| 20400 | How could it be otherwise? |
| 20400 | How far back is your general?" |
| 20400 | How many boys have you on this farm?" |
| 20400 | How many men had Mr Crauford with him?" |
| 20400 | How much separated these two men in age? |
| 20400 | I do n''t see why-- but what do you want----?" |
| 20400 | I have----"_ B._"My dear colonel, have some tea; or perhaps you would prefer some whisky- and- sparklet? |
| 20400 | If bricks have to be made, has not the workman a right to expect to be supplied with the ingredients? |
| 20400 | If the country''s honour lay in my groom''s hands, how much more must it lie in mine-- the employer of labour? |
| 20400 | If the other column should not be in position?" |
| 20400 | Is it for a straight scrapping with Boers, or is it to meander about as a town garrison?'' |
| 20400 | Is it surprising that I regarded you as their accomplice in rebellion?" |
| 20400 | Is not centralisation the cause of it all? |
| 20400 | Is that a flag?" |
| 20400 | It is this that has made you so beloved in the Republics; but how does your attitude hold good with me? |
| 20400 | J._"For how much?" |
| 20400 | Let me see; you have a brigade- major?" |
| 20400 | Madam, had you not better withdraw?" |
| 20400 | May I see him?" |
| 20400 | Now, what is his information?" |
| 20400 | O._"But your children have seen Burgher generals?" |
| 20400 | O._"Did you see all the Boers pass?" |
| 20400 | O._"How did you come by this?" |
| 20400 | O._"How do I know that you are not still playing a part?" |
| 20400 | O._"How many Boers would you say went by?" |
| 20400 | O._"How many men had he with him?" |
| 20400 | O._"How, if your object was to save your father, did it happen that Lotter was informed of our presence at Richmond Road?" |
| 20400 | O._"I mean, what is your job?" |
| 20400 | O._"In that farm? |
| 20400 | O._"Then what are you doing out here now?" |
| 20400 | O._"Then whatever made you come out in the ranks?" |
| 20400 | O._"Were they going fast?" |
| 20400 | O._"What do you belong to?" |
| 20400 | O._"What is in there?" |
| 20400 | O._"When did he leave?" |
| 20400 | O._"Where are the others? |
| 20400 | O._"Which way did he go?" |
| 20400 | O._"Who are the people in this house? |
| 20400 | O._"Who is Fischer?" |
| 20400 | O._"Why the devil did n''t you shoot them?" |
| 20400 | O._"You can find your way there in the dark?" |
| 20400 | O._(_ brutally_)"And did you? |
| 20400 | Repeat to,"& c._ Brigadier._"What do you think of that?" |
| 20400 | See that depot over there? |
| 20400 | Tell me who is in Britstown?" |
| 20400 | That is true, but how was it to be prevented?--where can you draw the line between legitimate requisition in war and brutal plunder? |
| 20400 | The Mount Nelson Light Horse-- they are marching from Hanover Road?" |
| 20400 | Then this being given, why not deal leniently with such men as have served you well, and who may be trusted to profit by experience dearly purchased? |
| 20400 | Then turning to the chief of the staff,"Have you got a match? |
| 20400 | There; is not that an admission worthy of a loyal Africander?" |
| 20400 | This is not the only road in the whole bally country, I presume?" |
| 20400 | Two men, who kept on shouting orders to the passing Boers, were sitting in the back of it----"_ Intelligence Officer._"What were they like?" |
| 20400 | Well, what the deuce is he worth to you after that, either as a framer of fact or flinger of fiction? |
| 20400 | Were you out here, sir, during the Black Week-- the Colenso- Magersfontein period? |
| 20400 | What about your details?" |
| 20400 | What can I do for you?" |
| 20400 | What can I do for you?" |
| 20400 | What can that boy know about it? |
| 20400 | What chance had the horses which had been overridden and under- fed for the last twelve days? |
| 20400 | What chance of success lies with the officer content to passively hug ox- waggons instead of pressing on against his mobile foe? |
| 20400 | What columns are in Hopetown?" |
| 20400 | What did Nelson do at the battle of Copenhagen? |
| 20400 | What do you belong to?" |
| 20400 | What do you do at home?" |
| 20400 | What do you think? |
| 20400 | What does it all mean? |
| 20400 | What have they got to say?" |
| 20400 | What have your prisoners got to say, Mr Intelligence?" |
| 20400 | What is it?" |
| 20400 | What is our private information?" |
| 20400 | What is the full limit at which you may requisition a spring cart?" |
| 20400 | What is your name?" |
| 20400 | What kind of a man are you? |
| 20400 | What right, therefore, have you to catechise me as to my goings and comings? |
| 20400 | What was it worth? |
| 20400 | What would the bright little maid who brings in the tea in the morning say, if she could see us now? |
| 20400 | What would you think if you could catch a glimpse of us? |
| 20400 | What''s the force?" |
| 20400 | What''s the good of lying? |
| 20400 | Where are the rest of you, then?" |
| 20400 | Where are the telegrams? |
| 20400 | Where are the''Number Threes''?" |
| 20400 | Where are we to go?" |
| 20400 | Where are you going now?" |
| 20400 | Where is your father? |
| 20400 | Where is your manhood, where the courtly bearing of the Englishman, of which I have heard so much-- and seen so little?" |
| 20400 | Who are you?" |
| 20400 | Who commands you?" |
| 20400 | Who has attempted to follow the train of thought which has been uppermost in the native mind? |
| 20400 | Who is it from?" |
| 20400 | Who may you be? |
| 20400 | Who shall blend the two? |
| 20400 | Who told you to come in here? |
| 20400 | Who, if they had not known, would have said that the beautiful panorama, which the morning sun now unveiled before us, was a theatre of war? |
| 20400 | Whose column is that?" |
| 20400 | Why do you wish to see him?" |
| 20400 | Why should men fight in a land such as this? |
| 20400 | Why?" |
| 20400 | Will you have some coffee?" |
| 20400 | Wo n''t you stay for your drink?" |
| 20400 | Yes, they had both; they would only be too glad-- would not the general take food with them?" |
| 20400 | You are senior captain in your corps, are you not?" |
| 20400 | You only slip into it worse every time; now, then, to the columns?" |
| 20400 | You see the parallelogram? |
| 20400 | Your dream and rest is over; for are you not the general''s flunkey? |
| 20400 | [ 28]"Are you aware, old boy, that we do n''t get any grub to- night?" |
| 20400 | _ B.-M._"And what do you intend doing yourself, sir?" |
| 20400 | _ B.-M._"But if I find that he has crossed the river? |
| 20400 | _ B.-M._"What escort shall I give it?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"And what are four columns doing halted here in this_ dorp_? |
| 20400 | _ B._"Are the wounded talkative?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Do you know your Shakespeare?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Good; and what is the latest news about De Wet?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Have you any one who knows the way?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"How many dismounted men are there? |
| 20400 | _ B._"I forget how you came by this information?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Intervening country?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Sanguinary, my boy; well, are you the last survivor? |
| 20400 | _ B._"True for you; what''s the odds?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Wait-- how did you get away from the general battue?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Well, what has he got to say?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"What happened?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"What would you think is the value of this one?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"When is our convoy due at Strydenburg?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Who are on him?" |
| 20400 | _ B._"Will old Stick- in- the- mud have got that, too?" |
| 20400 | _ Brigadier._"And your guide?" |
| 20400 | _ Brigadier._"Any Boer wounded?" |
| 20400 | _ Brigadier._"How far is the flat kopje from us?" |
| 20400 | _ Brigadier._"Was there ever a worse atrocity perpetrated than this? |
| 20400 | _ Brigadier._"Well, have you been fighting-- where''s your crush?" |
| 20400 | _ Brigadier._"What do you make of it?" |
| 20400 | _ Brigadier_(_ commencing to divest himself of his wet clothes in front of the fire and pointing to the turkey_),"Honestly come by?" |
| 20400 | _ Chief._"Where have you come from?" |
| 20400 | _ Colonial Colonel._"What does this mean, men?" |
| 20400 | _ D._"Where will you want him to take you? |
| 20400 | _ D._"Who can say? |
| 20400 | _ D._(_ the tears drying_)"And you promise me that you will not harm him?" |
| 20400 | _ F._"Are you a general, mister?" |
| 20400 | _ F._"Can I see the general, Mister Secretary?" |
| 20400 | _ G._"When do you meet your convoy, and how far behind you are your details?" |
| 20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Do you know where the camp is?" |
| 20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Is this road clear into the_ dorp_? |
| 20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Miss Pretorius,--how did you get here?" |
| 20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Sjambok?" |
| 20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Who are you? |
| 20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Who is Stephanus?" |
| 20400 | _ Miss P._"And may I also ask something,--What authority have you to put me such a question? |
| 20400 | _ Miss P._"Did I? |
| 20400 | _ Miss P._(_ suddenly paling, and losing for the moment her self- control_)"The worst!--surely you have not burned our farm? |
| 20400 | _ Oom Jan._"But the commandant wo n''t take my cart?" |
| 20400 | _ Staff Officer._"Certainly, sir; but what do you belong to? |
| 20400 | _ Staff Officer._"What column is this?" |
| 20400 | _ Sub._"Have you been here before?" |
| 20400 | _ Sub._"Have your boys?" |
| 20400 | _ Sub._"Which way?--how many were there?" |
| 20400 | _ Subaltern._"Why have n''t you given me a guide?" |
| 20400 | _ T._"So you have taken her out for a drive to- day?" |
| 20400 | _ T._"Then you have been driving another lady?" |
| 20400 | _ T._"What have you got those two cushions on the seat for? |
| 20400 | _ T._"Where have you come from?" |
| 20400 | _ T._"Where is that?" |
| 20400 | _ T._(_ who was now close up to the cart and busy in examination of it_)"What have you been doing in Britstown, and how long have you been there?" |
| 20400 | _ Weeping Bride._"If you take him, how shall I ever know what you will do with him? |
| 20400 | and where the devil have you come from?" |
| 20400 | have you seen any of the staff of the other column?" |
| 20400 | muttered the Rimington captain, and as the truth flashed upon him came the challenge in Dutch--"_ Wie dar?_""Follow me, Rimington''s!" |
| 20400 | said the brigadier when the Intelligence officer reported himself,"what has all the shooting been about?" |
| 20400 | what is that?" |
| 20400 | where are your horses?" |
| 20400 | where''s your rifle?" |
| 20400 | who goes there?" |
| 41035 | Abdel Kader,said he, confidentially,"I look on you as one of us; tell me what do you think of this Frenchman?" |
| 41035 | Abdel Kader,said he, when he saw me standing in front of him,"are you submitting with resignation to your fate?" |
| 41035 | Abdel Kader,said he,"are you well?" |
| 41035 | All right,said I,"but how is he going to cure me?" |
| 41035 | All right,said I;"but tell me privately who sent you here, the Khalifa or Yakub?" |
| 41035 | Am I then known as a tyrant amongst the people,said he,"that the sound of my ombeÿa should always mean the death of some one?" |
| 41035 | And now, Abdel Kader, what have you to say? |
| 41035 | And what did you answer? |
| 41035 | And what else have you against the man? |
| 41035 | And what is the punishment for disobedience? |
| 41035 | And you,said he,"where do you wish to go; have you any one to take care of you?" |
| 41035 | And you? |
| 41035 | Are you a Mohammedan? |
| 41035 | Are you going to tell me where you have hidden your treasure? |
| 41035 | But how did it occur? 41035 But what is to be done?" |
| 41035 | But what should a Frenchman want with us, that he should come all that long distance? |
| 41035 | But,said I,"where are the camels carrying ammunition and rockets? |
| 41035 | Did he also order you to write what you did? |
| 41035 | Did he not tell you where his money was buried? |
| 41035 | Did you bring bread? |
| 41035 | Did you inform Yunes,said he,"that you are going to accompany him?" |
| 41035 | Do n''t you know our animals? 41035 Do you belong to the French race?" |
| 41035 | Do you go with me across the desert? |
| 41035 | Do you not know that he who falls fighting for his women and children goes straight to Paradise? |
| 41035 | Do you see the broad, gray band in front crossing from south to northwest? |
| 41035 | Do you speak French? |
| 41035 | Do you take me for an ordinary man? |
| 41035 | Do you think that your proposal will be accepted? |
| 41035 | Do you think,said the Khalifa,"that he will comply implicitly with my orders, and will come? |
| 41035 | Have I anything else to do? |
| 41035 | Have you any children? |
| 41035 | Have you forgotten that I am your master? |
| 41035 | How could I throw myself at his feet,said I,"and crave his pardon for a crime I never committed? |
| 41035 | How do you know that the man who has given evidence against you is a Dongolawi? |
| 41035 | How long a start have we got from our enemies? 41035 I hope,"said I,"that Hajji Mohammed has not suffered serious loss?" |
| 41035 | I was told that the names of Elias Pasha and Hajji Mohammed Abu Girga are mentioned; is this so? |
| 41035 | If you do not wish to fight for your wives and children, for what then will you fight? |
| 41035 | Is not this the head of your uncle the unbeliever? |
| 41035 | Is your wife of your own race? |
| 41035 | No; what medicine? |
| 41035 | Now, then,said the Khalifa, impatiently,"have you made out what it means?" |
| 41035 | Of what race are you? |
| 41035 | Perhaps,said Wad Ibrahim,"you are unwilling to fire on Gordon, who is said to be your uncle, and that is your reason for making these excuses?" |
| 41035 | Poison? |
| 41035 | Suppose that I now turned Mohammedan,said I,"would my men believe in me and hope for victory? |
| 41035 | Tell me now,said I, well knowing how jealous they were of each other,"to which of you should I hand over my arms and my horses?" |
| 41035 | Tell me, Isa, what was the end? |
| 41035 | That is very questionable,said I;"but have you left a family at home?" |
| 41035 | Then what does this telegram mean? |
| 41035 | Then you are for having the man killed? |
| 41035 | This drink,said he,"encourages one for the fight; and as for our wives and children, why should we leave them for our enemies? |
| 41035 | Very well,he said,"I believe you; and so you refuse to marry my cousin?" |
| 41035 | Well, my fine hero, where is your courage now? |
| 41035 | Well,said I,"you wish to retreat during the night; but what will you do with all our wounded comrades and brothers? |
| 41035 | What are you doing? |
| 41035 | What assistance? |
| 41035 | What business has he to compare affairs here with those of Egypt? |
| 41035 | What do you say? |
| 41035 | What have you to say to his words? |
| 41035 | What is the matter? |
| 41035 | What is this? |
| 41035 | What is your name? |
| 41035 | What must be the condition of an army,he remarked,"when even a European servant deserts to the enemy?" |
| 41035 | What news? |
| 41035 | What of it? |
| 41035 | What sort of man is the new Governor? |
| 41035 | Where are Kuku Agha and the soldiers? |
| 41035 | Where have you been? 41035 Where is Ibrahim Ali?" |
| 41035 | Where is Yusef? |
| 41035 | Where is the Gospel that has been sent to you? |
| 41035 | Who are you? |
| 41035 | Who knows? |
| 41035 | Why have you come here; and what do you want from us? |
| 41035 | Why on account of my faith? |
| 41035 | Why,said he, smiling,"did you not wait for me outside the camp, instead of entering without permission? |
| 41035 | Why? |
| 41035 | You are not tired? |
| 41035 | Zeki,said I,"did Mohammed give you the medicine?" |
| 41035 | ( Abdel Kader, are you well?). |
| 41035 | ( Where is your master, Zubeir? |
| 41035 | A wild discharge of fire- arms and cannon, and in a few minutes complete stillness? |
| 41035 | And after that what was to be our fate? |
| 41035 | And were not the troops composed mostly of the disbanded rabble of Arabi Pasha''s army, which had just been defeated by the British? |
| 41035 | And would this year come and go like the rest, leaving me still in his clutches? |
| 41035 | Are you going to write a letter to the Mahdi?" |
| 41035 | As most of the workmen in the dock- yard were killed during the siege of Khartum, I suppose you have had some difficulty in replacing them?" |
| 41035 | At length, the Khalifa approached my corner, and, with a friendly nod, said,"Abdel Kader, enta tayeb?" |
| 41035 | Besides, do you not think it is outrageous that an old woman like you should have married a young lad who might have been your grandson?" |
| 41035 | Besides, were there not now enrolled under the Mahdi''s banners thousands of regulars and irregulars who had been formerly in the Government service? |
| 41035 | But how long was I to continue in this wretched position? |
| 41035 | But tell me how goes it at Toweisha? |
| 41035 | But tell me, sir, frankly, why should I be detained?" |
| 41035 | But who was the originator of this movement which had already been so successful? |
| 41035 | But why should I worry myself with such thoughts? |
| 41035 | But, sire, how can I, your servant, take your own wife for myself? |
| 41035 | By- the- bye where is Mustafa? |
| 41035 | Can any one imagine that this was a pleasing prospect? |
| 41035 | Can you find the way alone, or shall I come back for you?" |
| 41035 | Could it be a letter from my relations, or from the Egyptian Government; and had the messenger who brought it been captured? |
| 41035 | Could it be that he had been befooled by the Mahdi''s doctrines and preaching? |
| 41035 | Could the rescuing army possibly arrive in time? |
| 41035 | Could they have been noticed by some Dervishes who had perhaps arrested them on suspicion? |
| 41035 | Could they have opposed the Mahdi, his forty thousand rifles, and his hosts of wild fanatics panting for blood and plunder? |
| 41035 | Could this possibly be the great attack on Khartum? |
| 41035 | Cutting his way through the first line of Bazingers, Ibrahim shouted,"Fein sidkum ez Zubeir?" |
| 41035 | Did he think that it was out of the question for an English expedition to be delayed? |
| 41035 | Did their commanders not know Khartum, and the lives of all in it, were hanging by a thread? |
| 41035 | Did they imagine for a moment that all these men, when the chance came, intended to desert and join Hicks? |
| 41035 | Did you not assert yesterday, Sergeant Mohammed, that you had almost two hundred men at your disposal? |
| 41035 | Do you agree to these conditions, and do you promise to put them into full effect?" |
| 41035 | Do you not recognise God''s power in this? |
| 41035 | Do you now expect to gather more riches?" |
| 41035 | Do you see that stone hillock about three miles away? |
| 41035 | Do you understand what I mean?" |
| 41035 | Do you want to leave them to the tender mercies of our enemies?" |
| 41035 | Had Gordon never been informed of the Mahdi''s proclamations, sent to all the tribes after the fall of El Obeid? |
| 41035 | Had I better send the horse I gave you after you, or shall I keep it here?" |
| 41035 | Had new difficulties arisen? |
| 41035 | Had they not conquered Bahr el Ghazal, and brought the proud Sultans of Darfur to submission? |
| 41035 | Had they not won victories on the White Nile at Duffilà ©? |
| 41035 | Hassan instantly turned to me, saying,"Do you still think you are Governor- General of Darfur and can say what you like?" |
| 41035 | Have they not been tried?" |
| 41035 | Have you any objection?" |
| 41035 | Have you forgotten the duties required of you from your position? |
| 41035 | He duly arrived the next day, and, seeing my three Black boys at the door, his first question was,"Are these boys free, or slaves?" |
| 41035 | He might well have employed a company of soldiers for this purpose; and who would have thought of questioning the advantage of protecting himself? |
| 41035 | He then asked me, abruptly,"Are you not a Mohammedan; where then did you leave your wives?" |
| 41035 | His extraordinary success has inclined your heart to him; have you forgotten all the favours you have reaped from Government? |
| 41035 | How do you feel after your long and tiring journey?" |
| 41035 | How is the chief of the district, Abo Bey el Bartawi?" |
| 41035 | How long did you take to come here?" |
| 41035 | How long was I to keep up this constant strain of always standing on the defensive; how much longer could my present relations with the Khalifa last? |
| 41035 | How much was I still to suffer before it came to my turn to enter into everlasting rest? |
| 41035 | I am ready to do so, but what shall I earn by the job?" |
| 41035 | I at once rushed up and begged him to allow me to do this for him, but he answered,''Why should I be ashamed of doing work? |
| 41035 | I confess to feeling a little mistrustful when I thought of what Ahmed had said; but then, after all, doctors in Europe speak, so why should not he? |
| 41035 | I have not seen him since we left Rahad?" |
| 41035 | I now raised my head, which hitherto I had kept closely bent down; and the Khalifa asked,"Well, what do the papers contain?" |
| 41035 | I will bring you an animal to ride, or do you feel strong enough to go on foot?" |
| 41035 | In another passage he wrote,"I make my notes and write my reports, but who is going to take them home?" |
| 41035 | In what direction are they going?" |
| 41035 | Is not this so?" |
| 41035 | Is she not pretty, or has she a bad character?" |
| 41035 | Is the house I am to have uninhabited?" |
| 41035 | Is this what they object to? |
| 41035 | It was now to be a case of my wits against those of my new masters,--who would win? |
| 41035 | Master, where is the heart without fear? |
| 41035 | Motioning us to be seated, he welcomed us, and, turning to me, said,"Are you satisfied?" |
| 41035 | Now may I ask you if, during your illness, the Mahdi paid any attention to you?" |
| 41035 | Now what had the Mahdi done, and wherein lay his power to revive a religion which had become so debased? |
| 41035 | Now, how was it possible for me in a bushy, trackless region, with heavily laden camels, to catch up a man flying on a horse? |
| 41035 | Now, in accordance with the Mahdi''s orders, I was out of harm''s way; but what was to be my fate? |
| 41035 | Now, tell me truly?" |
| 41035 | Of what use was the English army now? |
| 41035 | Once in the presence of the Khalifa, the latter said to me,"And what is your opinion?" |
| 41035 | Or do you not agree?" |
| 41035 | Poor Vizetelly made his sketches, and O''Donovan wrote his diary; but who was to send them home to those who were so anxiously awaiting them? |
| 41035 | Should we concur with your proposals, what do you consider we should do with him?" |
| 41035 | Sire, what have I done? |
| 41035 | Speak, is it not so?" |
| 41035 | Speaking generally to all present, I said to them,"Can any of you understand how it was we were defeated to- day?" |
| 41035 | Taking no notice of his question,"Where is your master the Mahdi?" |
| 41035 | Tell me now what is written on the paper?" |
| 41035 | Tell me now, truthfully, why you left the others?" |
| 41035 | Tell me what is the present condition of Khartum, and what are the population doing?" |
| 41035 | Tell me, how am I regarded personally by the men and the officers, excepting, of course, those who are selfishly seeking their own interests?" |
| 41035 | The delay was inexplicable; what could it mean? |
| 41035 | The sun was now rising red over the horizon; what would this day bring forth? |
| 41035 | Then what could be more cruel than his punishment of the Ashraf? |
| 41035 | Then what could have induced him to read that fatal notice, proclaiming far and wide that the Government intended to abandon the Sudan? |
| 41035 | Then why did they not send some Englishmen on board, no matter how few, and despatch them instantly to Khartum? |
| 41035 | These were the last words I ever heard him utter; but who could have imagined the fate that was in store for both of us? |
| 41035 | They will trust you implicitly; but will you change your faith from conviction?" |
| 41035 | This was evidently a most lucrative trade; but how were the establishments of these merchants to be taxed, and what action was I to take? |
| 41035 | To turn from generalisation to details, what do we find to be the present situation? |
| 41035 | Turning then to Lupton, he said,"And you, Abdullahi?" |
| 41035 | Was I to trust him, or not? |
| 41035 | Was it possible Sultan Harun had suddenly returned and was attacking my men? |
| 41035 | Was it possible the news was false? |
| 41035 | Was it to be that of Mohammed Pasha Said and Ali Bey Sherif? |
| 41035 | We have at once had the man imprisoned, for he formerly escaped from here; what have you to say in your defence?" |
| 41035 | What can they do of themselves against their despotic rulers? |
| 41035 | What change has come over me? |
| 41035 | What could have happened to our men? |
| 41035 | What could the Khalifa want of me at such an hour? |
| 41035 | What could this ill- armed and ignorant fiki do? |
| 41035 | What do those people care about good actions and kindnesses previously done to them? |
| 41035 | What have you to say to this?" |
| 41035 | What was I to do with horses, when I was not allowed to ride them? |
| 41035 | What was I to do? |
| 41035 | What was the nature of his teachings? |
| 41035 | What was the use of all these decorations now; what good were all their ranks and honours? |
| 41035 | What, therefore, could be his intentions? |
| 41035 | When may I come and take over your old house?" |
| 41035 | When one''s possessions have been seized by violence and carried off, are they likely to be given back? |
| 41035 | When will they miss you?" |
| 41035 | Where is my motto of"Never despair?" |
| 41035 | Whilst I was talking, Salama had tightened up the cloth round his chest and loins, and merely said,"Where are the letters?" |
| 41035 | Who can be nobler than the direct descendant of the Prophet?" |
| 41035 | Who could have induced him to believe that the Kuran which had been sent to me was the Gospel? |
| 41035 | Who, therefore, in the whole world holds so high a position as I? |
| 41035 | Why did he neglect to make a redoubt, or keep within the fortifications, the central point of which might well have been the Palace? |
| 41035 | Why did he not write to you himself, if he thinks well of you?" |
| 41035 | Why did the long expected steamers with the English troops not come? |
| 41035 | Why do n''t they let me stay with you?" |
| 41035 | Why do you not ask for mercy?" |
| 41035 | Why should such men as Yusef Pasha, Mohammed Bey, and Abu Sidr fear a starving crowd of sickly, half- famished, and almost naked Arabs? |
| 41035 | Will Egypt once more become the actual possessor of the country of which she was the legitimate owner? |
| 41035 | Would some unforeseen event frustrate this effort too? |
| 41035 | Would this attempt also fail like the others? |
| 41035 | Yet could it be possible the news was grossly exaggerated? |
| 41035 | You have the money on you?" |
| 41035 | You remember it, do you not, Abdel Kader? |
| 41035 | and where are all the merchants and their families who came to you for protection? |
| 41035 | and would that give them more confidence in me?" |
| 41035 | said I, in a tone of wonder,"how could heavily laden camels become separated from horsemen? |
| 41035 | said I;"how could I know of his intention to escape, and how could I tell you that he had done so? |
| 41035 | said he to me,"or are there different tribes in your country, as there are here with us in the Sudan?" |
| 41035 | said the Mahdi,"why should you have done this? |
| 27529 | A further consideration is, what will become of the widows and orphans if we do not come to terms, and thus no longer remain their natural protectors? |
| 27529 | A further question is: Are we as leaders of the people justified in making further sacrifices? |
| 27529 | Allow me also a reply to the question:"Why did we not conclude peace sooner?" |
| 27529 | Am I not called upon to guard the interests of that people committed to my guidance by my reason? |
| 27529 | An answer is insisted upon to the question:"What grounds have we for continuing the war?" |
| 27529 | An offensive and defensive treaty? |
| 27529 | And can the majority then go on alone? |
| 27529 | And how do you propose that the government should be carried on? |
| 27529 | And how does the enemy fare? |
| 27529 | And if these opinions become known, what will the result be? |
| 27529 | And shall we accuse those men who have up till now stood faithfully with us of cowardice because they can not go on any longer? |
| 27529 | And that there are not any other matters? |
| 27529 | And then what have we in Swazieland? |
| 27529 | And then, how shall we materially rescue our people without the Gold Fields? |
| 27529 | And what can we expect from the coming generation, who can not now understand what is being done? |
| 27529 | And what objection is there that a draft proclamation be given to us to take to Vereeniging, which will be promulgated as soon as peace is concluded? |
| 27529 | And when the end came, what did it not cost us to persuade the head to do what the heart refused to perform? |
| 27529 | And where is, then, the honourable peace for us? |
| 27529 | And why did he say that we could see from the papers that there was nothing brewing in Europe? |
| 27529 | And why, while we were still in Natal, was it stated in war reports that the Deputation were doing good work? |
| 27529 | And, further, what is the condition of our women and children? |
| 27529 | Are there not at least two or three districts that can not proceed with the struggle? |
| 27529 | Are we making progress, or are we gradually going down the precipice? |
| 27529 | Are we not convinced that our cause is right? |
| 27529 | Are we not going down the precipice? |
| 27529 | Are we now able to continue the war? |
| 27529 | Are you satisfied with that? |
| 27529 | As regards a protectorate, what does that mean? |
| 27529 | As the Republics had ceased to exist, the question arose: Who could publish such Minutes? |
| 27529 | As they had no more food for the men, what would become of the families if the struggle was to be continued? |
| 27529 | But I ask in turn:"What grounds had we when we commenced the war?" |
| 27529 | But I in turn ask: Who will care for them if we are later forced to surrender? |
| 27529 | But can we do that? |
| 27529 | But does not this question remain if we prosecute the war? |
| 27529 | But even granted that the present proposals are more favourable, what have we not sacrificed for such improvement? |
| 27529 | But even this suggestion offers a great difficulty, namely this, that we have with us many wives of prisoners- of- war, and what can we do with them? |
| 27529 | But he would ask: Should they not continue until they were all delivered? |
| 27529 | But how long will the people wish it? |
| 27529 | But how? |
| 27529 | But is this meeting not also an irregular military procedure? |
| 27529 | But later, during the conference, he addressed each( was it inadvertently?) |
| 27529 | But on what do they build that hope? |
| 27529 | But supposing we did that, what would we gain thereby? |
| 27529 | But the question is, what must we do now? |
| 27529 | But then, what about the People? |
| 27529 | But what happened? |
| 27529 | Can we let the people be annihilated for the sake of honour and fame for ourselves? |
| 27529 | Can we thus cherish any hopes of assistance from European nations? |
| 27529 | Commandant ALBERTS: No war tax-- therefore there will be other taxes? |
| 27529 | Commandant FLEMMING: There is therefore hope for British receipts? |
| 27529 | Commandant FLEMMING: Was nothing said about receipts issued by the British themselves? |
| 27529 | Commandant JACOBSZ: What course will be pursued in cases where notes have passed from hand to hand? |
| 27529 | Commandant OPPERMAN: Will their property be confiscated? |
| 27529 | Commandant VAN NIEKERK( Kroonstad): What course will be pursued with reference to the farms which have been sold? |
| 27529 | Could they give up these districts? |
| 27529 | For more than two and a half years we have fought for our just rights, and what do we see if we take a retrospective view? |
| 27529 | For the sake of the franchise? |
| 27529 | For whose benefit would the struggle then have been carried on? |
| 27529 | Friendship in trade? |
| 27529 | General BOTHA: Must I understand that we pass from this point? |
| 27529 | General BOTHA: Then I must understand that you are going to adhere to the Middelburg proposals only? |
| 27529 | General BOTHA: Will a Dutch translation not be attached to it? |
| 27529 | General BRAND: Why are the names of these cases not inserted in the peace proposal? |
| 27529 | General Botha asked what the delegates came to do? |
| 27529 | General C. F. BEYERS( Waterberg) said: The matter presents itself to me thus: Which must I follow: my conscience or my reason? |
| 27529 | General DU TOIT: Does Natal hold another view regarding the rebels? |
| 27529 | General DU TOIT: If the rebels remain outside the boundaries of their Colonies will they then be free? |
| 27529 | General DU TOIT: What will be the Constitution of the Civil Government? |
| 27529 | General KEMP: Is no time fixed within which Civil Government must be introduced? |
| 27529 | General SMUTS: If, then, the idea is to alter the Middelburg proposals, would it not be best to do so now and to attach them to this document? |
| 27529 | General SMUTS: Is it your opinion that our proposal must be set aside? |
| 27529 | God works miracles, but who can assure me that He will do so in our case? |
| 27529 | Had the last resources been exhausted, and was all your strength spent?" |
| 27529 | Had they grounds for saying that they with 15,000 men could achieve what 50,000 burghers could not do? |
| 27529 | Has a time been fixed, or will it be done in the course of years? |
| 27529 | Has all this brought us nearer to our independence? |
| 27529 | Has it become darker now? |
| 27529 | Has the way become darker or lighter to us? |
| 27529 | Have subsequent events not proved that our view was correct? |
| 27529 | Have we not also still got about a third of our fighting force? |
| 27529 | Have we not now arrived at that stage when we should pray:"Thy will be done"? |
| 27529 | Have we not the right to assume that England is already in difficulties financially? |
| 27529 | How could we have entered into such a struggle if we had not done so in Faith? |
| 27529 | How have they not approached us since the commencement of the war, when they forced themselves into our country? |
| 27529 | How must this war end? |
| 27529 | How shall we pay our debts? |
| 27529 | How was it received? |
| 27529 | How would it be if you went back to the people and asked them whether they would not accept our proposals? |
| 27529 | I ask you, who would acquaint us thereof sooner than they? |
| 27529 | I ask you: Can we under the existing circumstances prosecute the war? |
| 27529 | I ask:"Have we, then, no more faith in them?" |
| 27529 | I believe there is nothing else for us to discuss than the questions: Shall we continue the war, or shall we accept the terms before us? |
| 27529 | I say, whatever they may have been, what have we gained? |
| 27529 | I would like to know whether it is understood now that we are agreed on all these draft proposals with your amendment? |
| 27529 | If Lord Kitchener agreed to a conference with them, he would ask: what do you propose? |
| 27529 | If all attempts in these directions came to nothing, could they not be satisfied with an"encumbered independence"? |
| 27529 | If in two years''time we have been reduced from 60,000 men to a fourth of that number, to what number shall we have sunk in another two years? |
| 27529 | If it were decided here by a majority of say, twenty, to continue the war, then I ask: why do the others vote in the minority? |
| 27529 | If matters have proceeded thus in the course of a year, what will be our position twelve months hence? |
| 27529 | If that threat were carried into execution, what would become of us? |
| 27529 | If the next generation should say:"There were so many burghers in the field, and yet we are not free; where is our country?" |
| 27529 | If the whole is annexed by us, how can you part with a portion of it? |
| 27529 | If they find that there is no chance for help for us in Europe, will they not inform us to that effect soon enough? |
| 27529 | If we are divided here, what will the people be? |
| 27529 | If we did not cherish that hope, why did we send the Deputation to Europe? |
| 27529 | If we give that up, what can we offer instead to the women and children who have suffered so grievously? |
| 27529 | If we must continue the war I with my men can leave my district, but what must I then do with my 200 families? |
| 27529 | If we surrender unconditionally and return to the burghers and they ask us:"What have you obtained for us on surrendering?" |
| 27529 | If you do the latter, know, then, that the matter is not disposed of, for then the question arises:"What will become of our people?" |
| 27529 | If, however, they gave up their independence, where then could they look for a ray of light? |
| 27529 | If, now, we were to go so far as to sacrifice the last man and to fire our last cartridge, what have we then? |
| 27529 | In only one portion of our country, namely, in Zoutpansberg, is there still food, but how do we obtain our provisions there? |
| 27529 | Is it because they are afraid, or tired out, or do not wish to co- operate? |
| 27529 | Is it not a serious matter that so many fell in the course of two and a half years? |
| 27529 | Is it not better for us to be a poor but independent people than rich and a subject nation? |
| 27529 | Is it there where everyone lies in his grave or is banished? |
| 27529 | Is our Faith, then, going to be so much weaker than that of our forefathers? |
| 27529 | Is such a message from the Deputation encouraging to you? |
| 27529 | Is that good? |
| 27529 | Is that not a marvel? |
| 27529 | Is that progress? |
| 27529 | Is the bitter end not there, where the people have struggled till they can struggle no more? |
| 27529 | Is this not the bitter end? |
| 27529 | Is this possible for us under the circumstances in which we find ourselves; what are the prospects; and what will the consequences be? |
| 27529 | It is argued that we must have faith, but faith must have grounds, and what grounds have we? |
| 27529 | It is asked what will future generations say, if they read that we decided to make peace and to give up our independence? |
| 27529 | It is asked: What about our families? |
| 27529 | It is asked: What prospect have we of continuing the fight with success? |
| 27529 | It is asked:"What are our prospects?" |
| 27529 | It is further asked: What will become of our widows and orphans if we make peace? |
| 27529 | It is stated that we commenced the war with faith and trust in God, but is that quite correct? |
| 27529 | It was then also a struggle in Faith only, and what was the result? |
| 27529 | It would perhaps become necessary for the commando to leave the district, and then the great question arose: What would become of the families there? |
| 27529 | Landdrost STOFBERG: A foreign language therefore? |
| 27529 | Landdrost STOFBERG: Does Clause 5 signify that the medium of instruction will be Dutch? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Are you prepared to drop your proposal and to hand in another nearer to the Middelburg proposals? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Do you accept the annexations? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Do you mean that this is an undefined amount, or that it falls under the amount fixed by the Volksraad? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Does your proposal assume that the Boers become British citizens? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Is it necessary to have this as a proposal? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Is that the only point or will other points be raised? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Will you then consider yourselves as British subjects? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Would that meet your difficulty? |
| 27529 | Lord KITCHENER: Would £ 2,000,000 or £ 3,000,000 meet you? |
| 27529 | Lord MILNER: Do you wish your proposal to be referred to His Majesty''s Government? |
| 27529 | Lord MILNER: May I ask if the prisoners- of- war will also be consulted? |
| 27529 | Lord MILNER: Must we understand that the Middelburg proposals are not in the spirit of what your people wish? |
| 27529 | Lord MILNER: What is the good of it then? |
| 27529 | Lord MILNER: What is your next point? |
| 27529 | Lord MILNER: You mean that one portion would become a British Colony of the ordinary type, and the other portion a Protected Republic? |
| 27529 | Lord MILNER: You say you abandon the independence as far as foreign relations are concerned? |
| 27529 | May I know what acts are here referred to? |
| 27529 | Mr. BIRKENSTOCK: A pension, for instance? |
| 27529 | Mr. BIRKENSTOCK: Do the words:"to assist those who are not able to assist themselves,"mean that widows, orphans and maimed will be assisted? |
| 27529 | Mr. BIRKENSTOCK: What property is referred to in Clause 3? |
| 27529 | Mr. DE CLERCQ: What, then, becomes of persons who have been banished? |
| 27529 | Mr. J. L. GROBLER( Carolina): How many farms have been sold? |
| 27529 | Mr. J. L. GROBLER: Where? |
| 27529 | Mr. L. JACOBSZ: Does Clause 2 provide for the return of the deputation and other persons in Europe? |
| 27529 | Mr. NAUDÉ: Is a man a burgher who became such after the commencement of the war? |
| 27529 | Mr. P. R. VILJOEN: If anyone has a Government note or receipt must he prove how he obtained it? |
| 27529 | Must they wait until everyone had been captured? |
| 27529 | Must we demand more sacrifices from the burghers and families if we see no light for the future? |
| 27529 | Must we now jump out of the door and leave them in the lurch? |
| 27529 | My mounted men I can always save, but if I did so what would become of the unmounted men, and what of the women and children? |
| 27529 | Now, I wish to ask you: Why has Lord Kitchener refused to allow our deputation to come out? |
| 27529 | Now, if a Power refuses to acknowledge our Deputation, what help can we as a nation expect from such a Power? |
| 27529 | Now, what has been the result of this meeting? |
| 27529 | On intervention? |
| 27529 | On our arms? |
| 27529 | On that I ask:"Has the enemy not grown weaker too?" |
| 27529 | On the contrary, are we not gradually going backwards? |
| 27529 | On the great question before us, I would first ask: How are we now situated? |
| 27529 | On what grounds can we hope to prosecute the war to a successful issue? |
| 27529 | Or shall we continue until all the leaders and many burghers are banished or killed? |
| 27529 | Our families are prepared to suffer for another year to retain our freedom, and how shall we meet them if we now make peace on these terms? |
| 27529 | Our idea is that after it has been considered here, it can be submitted to the burghers, and you can ask them:"Do you agree to our signing it?" |
| 27529 | President STEYN: I would like to know from Your Excellency what sort of self- government it would be? |
| 27529 | President STEYN: Your Excellency surely can not be in earnest in putting this question? |
| 27529 | Scheepers was already under the sod, and whom must they shoot for him? |
| 27529 | Shall we make a new proposal? |
| 27529 | Shall we not try to get those rights acknowledged here now we have the chance? |
| 27529 | Shall we now allow a people, who have sacrificed even women and children, to be exterminated? |
| 27529 | Shall we now continue to shed blood? |
| 27529 | Should we not offer the British the Witwatersrand and Swazieland? |
| 27529 | Should we not rather all co- operate to obtain from the enemy what we can, and try to retain a portion of our independence? |
| 27529 | That would be manly and would redound to the honour of ourselves and of our descendants; but must we act from lust of glory? |
| 27529 | The district would have to be abandoned, and then came the question: What would become of these families? |
| 27529 | The eyes of the enemy are upon us, and what will be the effect if we are divided? |
| 27529 | The facts still stand, and I thus ask on what grounds can we decide to go on with the war? |
| 27529 | The one party says:"Stop the war,"and they continually ask on what grounds can the struggle be continued? |
| 27529 | The question before us now is: how must we set to work? |
| 27529 | The question is asked, and rightly too: What about the Cape Colonists who have thrown in their lot with us? |
| 27529 | The question is asked:"What will the future bring us if we surrender?" |
| 27529 | The question is: How shall we negotiate? |
| 27529 | The question may now be asked: Why have the Deputation not sent us a report on these conditions? |
| 27529 | The question now is: What help can be expected from the Cape Colony for our cause? |
| 27529 | The question now is: What must we do? |
| 27529 | The question was: what proposals? |
| 27529 | The question:"Is it for_ this_ that I sacrificed my husband, my son, my child?" |
| 27529 | The time for unconditional surrender is past, and in reply to the question, What will become of our people if we accept these terms? |
| 27529 | The war was forced upon the South African Republic and her confederate, the Orange Free State, and why? |
| 27529 | They should not consult their hearts only, but also their heads, and what did his head tell him? |
| 27529 | Those who say that the struggle must be given up want tangible grounds from us for the continuance of it, but what grounds had we at the commencement? |
| 27529 | Three million pounds are indeed offered, but how much is that among so many? |
| 27529 | To reply to that I must go back to the beginning of the war, and ask what hope and prospects had we then? |
| 27529 | Upon what, then, is the hope founded? |
| 27529 | Was it a good thing that they should allow a people that had struggled as the Africander people had done to share such a fate? |
| 27529 | Was there no hope? |
| 27529 | Was there not also a contempt of our great enemy? |
| 27529 | Was there not also a spirit of self- confidence, of trust in our own arms, and our efficiency to handle those arms? |
| 27529 | Was there now not still a chance to save something for the People? |
| 27529 | We are asked:"Why did you make peace? |
| 27529 | We have 200 families, and how and on what must they live? |
| 27529 | We have had some successful encounters, but I put myself the question:"What have I actually effected by these victories?" |
| 27529 | We hear continually of the death of this one or that one, and it is asked who will care for the widows if we make peace now? |
| 27529 | We shall have rejected the proposals of the British Government, and what right will we have to intercede for these unfortunate people? |
| 27529 | Well, then, what is the difference between going into our graves in reality, and digging the grave for our national existence? |
| 27529 | Were there grounds then?" |
| 27529 | What assurance had they that England was not willing to give them their independence, if she could retain the Cape Colony? |
| 27529 | What chance have we of persevering so long? |
| 27529 | What did the Netherlands Minister write to the British Government on the 1st of January, 1902? |
| 27529 | What has maintained us to this moment? |
| 27529 | What has the gold done for us? |
| 27529 | What has the wealth from Johannesburg done for us? |
| 27529 | What have we gained by it? |
| 27529 | What have we got in the Witwatersrand? |
| 27529 | What is faith? |
| 27529 | What is now the mood prevailing amongst the burghers of the Orange Free State? |
| 27529 | What is the position you place Lord Kitchener and me in? |
| 27529 | What is the situation there to- day? |
| 27529 | What must not the sufferings of our women and children in the Concentration Camps have been at the death of so many of their number? |
| 27529 | What reasonable chance is there still to retain our independence? |
| 27529 | What shall we now do with these families? |
| 27529 | What shall we then have gained by continuing the struggle? |
| 27529 | What will be the position of those who return to continue the war? |
| 27529 | What will become of all the other thousands of poor in the country? |
| 27529 | What will future generations say, if we do not save what can still be saved? |
| 27529 | What will happen if the burghers from the other parts of the Transvaal resort to those districts also? |
| 27529 | What will it avail us to resolve to continue the struggle if the burghers can not hold out any longer? |
| 27529 | What will it profit us to resolve to go on if we have no people to fight? |
| 27529 | What will now be the result if we decide to continue the struggle? |
| 27529 | What will our future be? |
| 27529 | What will the future be if a portion of this meeting decides to make peace and another portion to continue the war? |
| 27529 | What will then become of the burghers who have no horses? |
| 27529 | What will then become of us and of our officers? |
| 27529 | What would further unnecessary torture avail us? |
| 27529 | What would otherwise become of them? |
| 27529 | Where could we find men to"hands up"with them? |
| 27529 | Where then shall we stand with regard to Him if our faith now forsakes us? |
| 27529 | Which course must be chosen? |
| 27529 | Which papers, however, did he refer to? |
| 27529 | Who knew what was still to fall to the lot of their people in the future? |
| 27529 | Whom can I send to care for those whose natural protectors are already prisoners of war? |
| 27529 | Whom does it include? |
| 27529 | Why did you not persevere? |
| 27529 | Why should they have done that if there was no hope of intervention? |
| 27529 | Why should they not continue to place their trust in God? |
| 27529 | Why will the enemy not allow us to hear from our Deputation? |
| 27529 | Will German statesmen therefore intervene to check England to their own detriment? |
| 27529 | Will there be no other taxes? |
| 27529 | Will they not be banished? |
| 27529 | Will they now be able to lay bare that policy to us? |
| 27529 | With the Mauser and with Prayer they had commenced the war, and what had God''s answer to those prayers been? |
| 27529 | Would it be like that of the Cape Colony? |
| 27529 | Would it be right to let those districts, with the men, women and children who were still in them be lost? |
| 27529 | Would it not be possible to conclude a federal union with the two Colonies? |
| 27529 | Would it therefore be advisable to miss that chance, and simply to say that we must persevere in the struggle? |
| 27529 | Would that be desirable? |
| 27529 | Would that be sensible and right towards our people? |
| 27529 | Would the gentlemen not,"he continued,"first consult about this privately? |
| 27529 | Would those representing the majority have to submit? |
| 27529 | and then when we feel what His will is, surrender ourselves to it? |
| 27529 | but I ask,"What were our prospects when we commenced the war? |
| 27529 | or should they, for the sake of their people, adopt another course? |
| 20194 | ''When last seen?'' 20194 And if anything should happen to us before you come again?" |
| 20194 | And if they are found in their homes? |
| 20194 | And your father? |
| 20194 | Are they all in? |
| 20194 | Are you a Boer? 20194 Are you all right, mother? |
| 20194 | Are you sketchin'', miss? |
| 20194 | Are you sure? |
| 20194 | But how could you find me guilty? |
| 20194 | But what did they say they wanted with Harmony? |
| 20194 | But what is all this accursed war about, miss? 20194 But you look ill-- why do n''t you come home and take a good rest?" |
| 20194 | By the way,said the Captain suddenly,"who is Flippie?" |
| 20194 | By what sign will you know that we have been taken and that Harmony is a pitfall instead of a refuge? |
| 20194 | Did they ever reach the Boer commandos, and oh, when shall we hear from them? |
| 20194 | Did you have a good night? 20194 Do n''t you see, miss? |
| 20194 | Do n''t you think I ought to go and tell the men to wait? |
| 20194 | Do you not think it would be better to trust me and tell me what you wish to do? 20194 Do you think I believe these lying cables? |
| 20194 | Do you wish to see my mother? |
| 20194 | Do_ you_ know General Botha? |
| 20194 | Eendracht maakt Macht? |
| 20194 | F.? |
| 20194 | Flippie? |
| 20194 | For me? |
| 20194 | Gentleman Jim? |
| 20194 | Glad? 20194 Have the others not come yet?" |
| 20194 | Have you any objection to being cross- questioned? |
| 20194 | Have you fed the fowls, Flippie? |
| 20194 | Have you thought of any one? |
| 20194 | How can I? |
| 20194 | How can we ever harbour them here again? 20194 How can you be so reckless and foolhardy, Hansie?" |
| 20194 | How can you go about the town so much in broad daylight, whenever you come in? |
| 20194 | How could one get a message through to him? |
| 20194 | How could you risk it to come here? |
| 20194 | How did you come in? |
| 20194 | How did you come in? |
| 20194 | How is trade this morning? |
| 20194 | How many brothers have you in the field? |
| 20194 | How much money have you? |
| 20194 | How shall I get this away? 20194 I am very sorry,"he said,"but what have_ I_ done?" |
| 20194 | I suppose you can not let my wife know that I have been here and am well? |
| 20194 | I think we have earned it-- don''t you? |
| 20194 | Is there any danger for my mother in connection with those petitions? |
| 20194 | Leggings? 20194 May we walk with the prisoner as far as the Johannesburg Fort?" |
| 20194 | Now, why are you not there? |
| 20194 | Oh yes, but----"Then why not we? 20194 Oh, mother, was n''t it funny of him?" |
| 20194 | Oh, why did I leave my little round tent at Irene Camp? |
| 20194 | Poetry? |
| 20194 | Shall I put a guard here again? |
| 20194 | Shall I stay? |
| 20194 | Stay here and go home in de dark? |
| 20194 | The crowd under the willows last night? |
| 20194 | War? |
| 20194 | Was it the Concentration Camps? |
| 20194 | Well,he answered, smiling slightly,"what can I do for you?" |
| 20194 | Well,he answered,"is n''t Might_ Right_ all the world over?" |
| 20194 | Were you followed home? |
| 20194 | Were you? |
| 20194 | What about our oath of neutrality? |
| 20194 | What am I doing here? 20194 What are you doing, Jim?" |
| 20194 | What are you going to call her? |
| 20194 | What are you going to do about this? |
| 20194 | What are you going to do? |
| 20194 | What are you going to do? |
| 20194 | What can I do for you? |
| 20194 | What did those two khaki women want with you last night, Miss Hansie? |
| 20194 | What direction did they take, and how many of them are there? |
| 20194 | What do the men think of the Concentration Camps? |
| 20194 | What do you think I ought to do? 20194 What for you make so much noise, Carlo? |
| 20194 | What is it you want me to do? |
| 20194 | What is this for? |
| 20194 | What is this? |
| 20194 | What is this? |
| 20194 | What is this? |
| 20194 | What is this? |
| 20194 | What is to be done? |
| 20194 | What is your name? |
| 20194 | What meant it all? 20194 What was it, then? |
| 20194 | What will you do if Captain Naudé and Mr. Greyling come in to- night? |
| 20194 | What you like? 20194 Where are they, I wonder?" |
| 20194 | Where can they be so late? |
| 20194 | Where is your mother? |
| 20194 | Where were our heroes? |
| 20194 | Where, mother? 20194 Who are you? |
| 20194 | Who are you? |
| 20194 | Who dat lying under our trees, Miss Hansie? |
| 20194 | Why did you not bring him with you? |
| 20194 | Why do n''t you do as I tell you? 20194 Why do n''t you go and conquer the Transvaal?" |
| 20194 | Why do you ask? |
| 20194 | Why not go in now? |
| 20194 | Why not? |
| 20194 | Why should we not come? |
| 20194 | Why you lock up the dog every night, missis? |
| 20194 | Why,he exclaimed in surprise,"can you not rehearse without a permit?" |
| 20194 | Why? |
| 20194 | Will they give in for the sake of the women and children? |
| 20194 | Will they never come? 20194 Will you allow me to send the warm clothing and blankets which I intended to distribute in the Camps?" |
| 20194 | Will you be all right alone, mother, at a time like this? |
| 20194 | Will you have some grapes? |
| 20194 | Will you leave me now? |
| 20194 | Will you let me be your secretary? |
| 20194 | Will you take off dat ribbon? |
| 20194 | Wo n''t you ask them to come up to the house? |
| 20194 | Would it be any help if I told you their names? |
| 20194 | Would there be much risk and difficulty in communicating with General Botha through such a person? |
| 20194 | Writing a book, mother? 20194 Yes, but when will you learn to be more careful? |
| 20194 | You have heard of the terrible battle we had at Bakenlaagte-- when Colonel Benson fell, mortally wounded? 20194 You will come with us to the Coronation?" |
| 20194 | You will wire for me, wo n''t you? |
| 20194 | You would all be taken near the wire fence,he said,"and what about the men who would be without their passes while you had them?" |
| 20194 | You-- er-- will have some tea? |
| 20194 | ( what did he mean?) |
| 20194 | *****"When did you see General Botha last?" |
| 20194 | About the spies? |
| 20194 | Added to this she was frequently tried beyond endurance by the questions:"Why did the Boers give in? |
| 20194 | After beating about the bush a good deal, Miss F. remarked:"You know the Zoutpansberg District very well, do you not?" |
| 20194 | Ah, unknown soldier, did you in after years, I wonder, remember the prophetic words spoken by the lips of a girl that day? |
| 20194 | Ah, why did Hansie not obey the warning voice within, and go? |
| 20194 | And pray, how long?" |
| 20194 | And the lemon- juice? |
| 20194 | And what has been the history of these fourteen years? |
| 20194 | And what would he have to tell? |
| 20194 | Another bag? |
| 20194 | Are all your women such staunch patriots?" |
| 20194 | Are these historical events not fully recorded in other books, by other writers more competent than myself? |
| 20194 | Are you afraid?" |
| 20194 | Are you catching butterflies? |
| 20194 | Are you going to be seen about the house or not?" |
| 20194 | Are you prepared for this? |
| 20194 | But Lord---- is trying to take my country, why should I not take his cat?" |
| 20194 | But how can this be done? |
| 20194 | But these people? |
| 20194 | But what is this? |
| 20194 | But what must I do when the babies are dying like that?" |
| 20194 | But, tell me, Miss van Warmelo, are you not glad that your brother has been captured and is out of danger now?" |
| 20194 | CHAPTER XXI FLIPPIE AND CO."Was there no fear of betrayal through the servants at Harmony?" |
| 20194 | Can that be possible?" |
| 20194 | Can you tell me whether there is a young couple with a baby, from Zoutpansberg, staying at the hotel?" |
| 20194 | Despair? |
| 20194 | Did Greyling confide the secret of the time- table to him? |
| 20194 | Did he also know the names of the members of the Committee? |
| 20194 | Did he feel the suppressed agitation, the unrest in the air? |
| 20194 | Did n''t she go to Pretoria yesterday? |
| 20194 | Did she mind being left, and was she only eager to have her daughter out of danger''s way? |
| 20194 | Did you ask about the portmanteau and box?" |
| 20194 | Did you hear anything of what he said to Lord Kitchener?" |
| 20194 | Do you know, Jim?" |
| 20194 | Do you think that we are going to allow British officers to sleep in their beds? |
| 20194 | Do you want any one here?" |
| 20194 | English prisoners were set free( what could the Boers do with them otherwise? |
| 20194 | Fear? |
| 20194 | Had Naudé reached the commandos in safety or had he fallen into the hands of the enemy with the tell- tale waistcoat on? |
| 20194 | Hansie just glanced at her mother and then asked hoarsely,"Was any one hurt? |
| 20194 | Hansie walked boldly towards the Military Camp, whistling to Carlo and admonishing him thus audibly:"Why ca n''t you leave the kittens alone, Carlo?" |
| 20194 | Has that been going on under our noses? |
| 20194 | Have they fallen into some unforeseen pitfall? |
| 20194 | Have you thought of any one who could accompany you?" |
| 20194 | He was met by a confusion of voices calling out,"Where is our General?" |
| 20194 | Her companion, glancing at her face, asked suddenly, curiously:"Would you be glad if King Edward were to die?" |
| 20194 | How can I tell the tale? |
| 20194 | How can we let them know that Harmony is being watched? |
| 20194 | How could you be so indiscreet?" |
| 20194 | How could_ she_ understand? |
| 20194 | How do you think this has come about?" |
| 20194 | How now to get rid of these men? |
| 20194 | How shall we get through the anxiety and suspense when we begin to expect them again? |
| 20194 | How was that possible?" |
| 20194 | How_ could_ the Boers give in and lose their independence?" |
| 20194 | In case of an unexpected search, how was she going to account for the smell of smoke in her bedroom? |
| 20194 | Is Mrs. Knevitt in?" |
| 20194 | It is small and oblong and white, and it was laid by a hen?" |
| 20194 | Just wait a minute, please, will you?" |
| 20194 | May I ask you to send it for me? |
| 20194 | Mother, what can that mean? |
| 20194 | Mrs. Armstrong asked, with her cheerful, ever- ready laugh;"do n''t other people come here still?" |
| 20194 | Need I say that she jumped at the suggestion? |
| 20194 | No, how can I be glad? |
| 20194 | Now perhaps this was indiscreet, but, after all, what harm could it do? |
| 20194 | Of what avail to kiss that icy brow? |
| 20194 | Oh, mother, what will the English say?" |
| 20194 | One day, when Hansie heard him sigh more heavily than usual, she asked:"Are you thinking of your wife and children, Paulus?" |
| 20194 | Or did she intend putting up the danger- signal, after all? |
| 20194 | Pleading for her son? |
| 20194 | Riding- breeches? |
| 20194 | Shall I tell you what it is about?" |
| 20194 | Shall he enter that, unarmed, without provisions or water and totally ignorant of the direction to take? |
| 20194 | She ran through the bathroom and, opening the door leading to the garden, asked softly,"Who is there?" |
| 20194 | She was met at the gate by Mrs. Malan, wringing her hands and crying out:"Oh, where have you been so long? |
| 20194 | The Consuls spoke to her direct, advising her to be more careful of her facts, and Mr. Cinatti, when she assured him of her innocence(? |
| 20194 | The German Consul''s visit or the President''s escape? |
| 20194 | The accommodation in the Camps will probably be very bad, and what would you think of a charge of dynamite under your train?" |
| 20194 | The arming of the natives?" |
| 20194 | The former shook hands and greeted her with a curt,"Well, what is the matter with you now?" |
| 20194 | The police? |
| 20194 | The sergeant- major? |
| 20194 | The war? |
| 20194 | Their looks and gestures spoke as plainly as the plainest words:"Can it be possible? |
| 20194 | Them black ones or them white ones?" |
| 20194 | Then she said:"I have to go to town at once, F.; will you come with me? |
| 20194 | To what place of refuge could they be moved that night? |
| 20194 | Was any one taken?" |
| 20194 | Was her mother play- acting? |
| 20194 | Was not the mother safe at Harmony and her wise counsels forgotten? |
| 20194 | Was she going to stay? |
| 20194 | Was there no way of helping her? |
| 20194 | Well, I am in serious trouble now-- not for myself-- but, tell me, have you your residential pass with you?" |
| 20194 | Well, will you please give these cards to Mrs. Knevitt when she comes in?" |
| 20194 | Were they not both good patriots? |
| 20194 | What awaited her on this tour? |
| 20194 | What did they want with Harmony?" |
| 20194 | What do you mean?" |
| 20194 | What do you think he could have meant?" |
| 20194 | What does he care about our anxieties? |
| 20194 | What does he say?" |
| 20194 | What does it contain? |
| 20194 | What impudent impertinence was dis? |
| 20194 | What is dis? |
| 20194 | What is that approaching him in the distance? |
| 20194 | What more proof could be wanted after that? |
| 20194 | What now? |
| 20194 | What now? |
| 20194 | What shall I do?" |
| 20194 | What shall our watchword be?" |
| 20194 | What use to speculate now on what might have been? |
| 20194 | What was he to do? |
| 20194 | What was that? |
| 20194 | What was the old lady doing there? |
| 20194 | What was to be done with those two men? |
| 20194 | What words from my poor pen can describe the emotions of_ that_ meeting? |
| 20194 | What would the meeting be like to- morrow? |
| 20194 | What_ do_ you mean, Flippie?" |
| 20194 | When must you have it?" |
| 20194 | When must you have them?" |
| 20194 | When the first greetings were over Mr. Botha said:"Wife, what became of that old hymn- book which was standing on the shelf in the dining- room?" |
| 20194 | Where are you going?" |
| 20194 | Where are you?" |
| 20194 | Who are they?" |
| 20194 | Who could sleep in such a storm? |
| 20194 | Who goes there?" |
| 20194 | Who was that with her? |
| 20194 | Whose, and where are you taking it?" |
| 20194 | Why are you here?" |
| 20194 | Why did she come back? |
| 20194 | Why did you not come sooner? |
| 20194 | Why have the boys been separated?" |
| 20194 | Why should England not give in?" |
| 20194 | Why should the Boers give in? |
| 20194 | Will you be good enough to ask your friends to come up to my house if they wish to speak to me?" |
| 20194 | Will you believe it? |
| 20194 | Will you believe that for three days not a drop of water passed my lips? |
| 20194 | Will you let_ me_ go round to all the Camps also, to write reports for you?" |
| 20194 | Will you not send a timely warning? |
| 20194 | Would he be changed? |
| 20194 | Would it not be possible for you to go over to Irene with me to- morrow? |
| 20194 | Would the long night_ never_ end? |
| 20194 | You wo n''t mention it to Dr. Franks, will you?" |
| 20194 | _ Who could it have been? |
| 20194 | who goes there?" |
| 20194 | who is in command?" |
| 20194 | who will tell that bereaved parent that her son''s last thoughts and words were for her alone? |
| 5157 | A white man? |
| 5157 | After me? |
| 5157 | Ah, Mirambo is where? 5157 And how long do you think this little journey will take you?" |
| 5157 | And is the- Doctor well? |
| 5157 | And whither art thou bound with thy caravan? |
| 5157 | And why? |
| 5157 | And you, Chowpereh? |
| 5157 | Any more of my people dead? |
| 5157 | Anybody with him? |
| 5157 | Are you sure? |
| 5157 | Are you sure? |
| 5157 | Are you well? |
| 5157 | As it has turned out, though, do n''t you think I did right? |
| 5157 | But do n''t you see us halted, and the bale opened to send it to you? 5157 But do n''t you think I did perfectly right?" |
| 5157 | But do you not think, Mr. Dawson, you have been rather too hasty in tendering your resignation, from the more verbal report of my men? |
| 5157 | But where is this Kazeh, Sheikh Sayd? |
| 5157 | Did Mionvu tell you that this is the last time we would have to pay? |
| 5157 | Did you have to pay much tribute to the Wagogo? |
| 5157 | Do you hear? |
| 5157 | Do you think he is alive? |
| 5157 | Do you think he will do so? |
| 5157 | Do you think he will stop there until we see him? |
| 5157 | Hallo,said I,"is this another one?" |
| 5157 | Halloa, Doctor!--you up already? 5157 Have the Turks many soldiers?" |
| 5157 | Have these men-- these black savages from pagan Africa,I asked myself,"the qualities which make man loveable among his fellows? |
| 5157 | Have you found him? |
| 5157 | Have you heard, master, of Suleiman bin Ali? |
| 5157 | Have you seen Kerbela, Bagdad, Masr, Stamboul? |
| 5157 | Have you seen the northern head of the Tangannka, Doctor? |
| 5157 | How do you like Zanzibar? |
| 5157 | How goes the war? |
| 5157 | How is he dressed? |
| 5157 | How long ago? |
| 5157 | How many beads? |
| 5157 | How many has Persia? |
| 5157 | How many pagazis, or carriers? 5157 How many soldiers?" |
| 5157 | How much cloth? |
| 5157 | How much did you pay? |
| 5157 | How much wire? |
| 5157 | How will it ever be possible,I thought,"to move all this inert mass across the wilderness stretching between the sea, and the great lakes of Africa? |
| 5157 | How? |
| 5157 | In this village? |
| 5157 | Is Mr. Oswell Livingstone here? |
| 5157 | Is Persia fertile? |
| 5157 | Is he young, or old? |
| 5157 | Is this true, Wallahi? |
| 5157 | Kabogo? 5157 Kazeh? |
| 5157 | My friendly Sheikh, wilt thou smoke? |
| 5157 | Now, Doctor,said I,"you are, probably, wondering why I came here?" |
| 5157 | Oh, if you do n''t, perhaps you would not object to me smoking, in order to assist digestion? |
| 5157 | Oh, indeed? |
| 5157 | Oh-- who has not heard of that newspaper? |
| 5157 | Then it is settled, is it, that we go? |
| 5157 | Was he ever at Ujiji before? |
| 5157 | Was this the place where Burton and Speke stood, Bombay, when they saw the lake first? |
| 5157 | Well, Dr. Livingstone is relieved and found, as Mr. Henn tells me, is he not? |
| 5157 | Well, how did you come to Ukaranga? |
| 5157 | Well, then, is Mirambo dead? |
| 5157 | Well, then, where is Kazeh? 5157 Well, then,"said I,"if Hamed wants to be a fool, and kill his pagazis, why should we? |
| 5157 | Well, what are you going to do now? |
| 5157 | Well, what is your name? |
| 5157 | What are you going to do now? |
| 5157 | What did he die of? |
| 5157 | What do you say, Asmani? 5157 What do you say, Mabruki?" |
| 5157 | What has thou to tell me of the white man at Unyanyembe? |
| 5157 | What is the matter with you, Bombay? |
| 5157 | What kinds of cloth are required for the different tribes? |
| 5157 | What news from Zanzibar? |
| 5157 | What was I sent for? |
| 5157 | What will it cost? |
| 5157 | What will you have to drink-- beer, stout, brandy? 5157 Where else could it flow to?" |
| 5157 | Where has he been so long? |
| 5157 | Where has he come from? |
| 5157 | Where is that Hajji Abdullah( Captain Burton) that came here, and Spiki? |
| 5157 | Where is the Doctor? |
| 5157 | Which white man? |
| 5157 | Who are you? |
| 5157 | Why did you go away, Bombay, when you knew I intended to go, and was waiting? |
| 5157 | Why not? 5157 Why,"said she,"is he not one of us? |
| 5157 | Why? |
| 5157 | Wo n''t you walk in? |
| 5157 | Yes, master; you no do it, when you go away? 5157 Yes, of course; am I not in his house? |
| 5157 | You do not mean to say the white man is dead? |
| 5157 | You? |
| 5157 | ( how are you, master?) |
| 5157 | ), and impassioned force(? |
| 5157 | ), rhythmic excellence(? |
| 5157 | * Livingstone"Speak, men, freedmen, shall we not?--shall we not go to the Tanganika without any more trouble? |
| 5157 | ************ Dear me; is it the 21st of July? |
| 5157 | --"Nor over the left nipple sometimes-- a quick throbbing, with a shortness of breath?" |
| 5157 | After he was seated, and had taken his coffee, I asked,"What is thy news, my friend, that thou bast brought from Unyanyembe?" |
| 5157 | After throwing over his shoulders his robe- de- chambre Mr. Bennett asked,"Where do you think Livingstone is?" |
| 5157 | Against whom? |
| 5157 | Also would they take hold of your watch and ask you with a cheerful curiosity,"What is this for, white man?" |
| 5157 | And I? |
| 5157 | Are not these the sources of the Nile mentioned by the Secretary of Minerva, in the city of Sais, to Herodotus? |
| 5157 | Are there no bullocks, and sheep, and goats in the land, from which far better soup can be made than any that was ever potted? |
| 5157 | Are we prepared to give up the ivory of Ujiji, of Urundi, of Karagwah, of Uganda, because of this one man? |
| 5157 | Are you deserting the Musungu, for we know you belong to him, since you bought from us yesterday two doti worth of meat?'' |
| 5157 | Art thou mad?" |
| 5157 | But I was madly rejoiced; intensely eager to resolve the burning question,"Is it Dr. David Livingstone?" |
| 5157 | But Khamis broke out impatiently with,"Would you advise us to stop in our tembes, for fear of this Mshensi( pagan)? |
| 5157 | But the great wonder of all was,"How did you come from Unyanyembe?" |
| 5157 | But this-- where is the nobleman''s park that can match this scene? |
| 5157 | But was it not England''s place to be in the front here? |
| 5157 | But what could he do, with five men and fifteen or twenty cloths? |
| 5157 | But what should I do at all, at all? |
| 5157 | But why should I feel as if baited by these stupid, slow- witted Arabs and their warnings and croakings? |
| 5157 | By anything in Asia? |
| 5157 | By anything in Europe? |
| 5157 | By what shall I gauge the loveliness of the wild, free, luxuriant, spontaneous nature within its boundaries? |
| 5157 | Can these men-- these barbarians-- appreciate kindness or feel resentment like myself?" |
| 5157 | Cazembe asked,"What can you want to go there for? |
| 5157 | Children of Oman, shall it be so? |
| 5157 | Did not Burton write much about black mud in Uzaramo? |
| 5157 | Do n''t you hear my men call you the''Great Master,''and me the''Little Master?'' |
| 5157 | Do n''t you see, old fellow, the importance of the mission; do n''t you see what reward you will get from Mr. Bennett, if you will help me? |
| 5157 | Do you hear them, Wanyamwezi? |
| 5157 | Do you know that the Suez Canal is a fact-- is opened, and a regular trade carried on between Europe and India through it?" |
| 5157 | Do you mean me to go to Central Africa?" |
| 5157 | Do you not see he is sick?" |
| 5157 | Do you understand them well? |
| 5157 | Do you wish to die? |
| 5157 | Do you?" |
| 5157 | Does he not bring plenty of cloth and beads? |
| 5157 | Does not the white man know there lives a king in Uhha, to whom the Wangwana and Arabs pay something for right of passage?" |
| 5157 | Does not the white man mean to pay the King''s dues? |
| 5157 | Does the white man mean to fight? |
| 5157 | Every village will rise all about us, and how can forty- five men fight thousands of people? |
| 5157 | Evidently Sheikh Hamed was gone stark mad, otherwise why should he be so frantic for the march at such an early hour? |
| 5157 | FOREVER? |
| 5157 | Forty spears against forty guns-- but how many guns would not have decamped? |
| 5157 | Had HE heard of my coming? |
| 5157 | Halting, I asked what was the matter, and what they wanted, and why they made such noise? |
| 5157 | Has he not taken possession of your soil, in that he has put his horse into your ground without your permission? |
| 5157 | Have I not been battered by successive fevers, prostrate with agony day after day lately? |
| 5157 | Have I not clenched my fists in fury, and fought with the wild strength of despair when in delirium? |
| 5157 | Have I not raved and stormed in madness? |
| 5157 | Have I uttered a prayer? |
| 5157 | He said aloud to himself, in my hearing,''Why should I get the Musungu pagazis? |
| 5157 | Highness to me.--"Are you well?" |
| 5157 | How am I to reach Livingstone, without being beggared? |
| 5157 | How is His Highness?" |
| 5157 | How long, I wonder, had it remained at Unyanyembe had I not been despatched into Central Africa in search of the great traveller? |
| 5157 | How many of their friendly faces shall I see again? |
| 5157 | How much would Shaw be willing to give to be in my place now? |
| 5157 | I asked Selim,"Why did you not also run away, and leave your master to die?" |
| 5157 | I asked him why he purchased such a slave, and, while he was with him, why he did not feed him? |
| 5157 | I asked,"Do you not sometimes feel pain on the right side?" |
| 5157 | I asked,"did you come so far back without finishing the task which you say you have got to do?" |
| 5157 | I felt very much like going out to help them; but after debating long upon the pros and cons of it,--asking myself, Was it prudent? |
| 5157 | I had to feel my way, and every step of the way, and was, generally, groping in the dark-- for who cared where the rivers ran? |
| 5157 | I hear, also, that there are white men at Bagamoyo, who are about starting into the country to look after me(?). |
| 5157 | I hope you have slept well?" |
| 5157 | I replied cordially also,"Yambo, mutware?--How do you do, chief?" |
| 5157 | If I am a rich sultan why comes not the chief with a rich present to me, that he might get a rich return?" |
| 5157 | If I do a friendly part by him, will he not do a friendly part by me? |
| 5157 | If I shot a buffalo cow, she was sure to be the best of her kind, and her horns were worth while carrying home as specimens; and was she not fat? |
| 5157 | If the cloth was my own, could I not purchase what I liked? |
| 5157 | If you have been long in your hut you must have seen him, Can you tell us where he is?'' |
| 5157 | In view of which, what is to be done? |
| 5157 | Instead of submerging himself as others had done he coolly turned round his head as if to ask,"Why this waste of valuable cartridges on us?" |
| 5157 | Is Dr. Livingstone here?" |
| 5157 | Is it a wonder, then, that all felt happy at such a moment? |
| 5157 | Is it not so?" |
| 5157 | Is not that near Betlem el Kuds?" |
| 5157 | It is of no use for you to tell me you are all one caravan, otherwise why so many flags and tents? |
| 5157 | It was not my fault, was it? |
| 5157 | Kaif- Halek...."How do you do?" |
| 5157 | Kazeh? |
| 5157 | Kingaru.--"Why?" |
| 5157 | Livingstone?" |
| 5157 | My days seem to have been spent in an Elysian field; otherwise, why should I so keenly regret the near approach of the parting hour? |
| 5157 | No, tell me the general news: how is the world getting along? |
| 5157 | Now, will you promise me that you will follow him-- do what he tells you, obey him in all things, and not desert him?" |
| 5157 | On the 2(7? |
| 5157 | Ough-- Mirambo is where? |
| 5157 | Ought I to go? |
| 5157 | Replied he, tartly,"Was he not my slave? |
| 5157 | Said he to me,"I am your friend; I wish to serve you., what can I do for you?" |
| 5157 | Said he,"Could I leave Thani, my friend, behind?" |
| 5157 | Selim, my Arab servant, asked him,"What are you doing here, Sheikh Hamed? |
| 5157 | Shall we fight or pay?" |
| 5157 | Shall we give this fellow everything he asks? |
| 5157 | Shall we submit to be robbed? |
| 5157 | Shaw?" |
| 5157 | Should you happen to fall sick in Kwihara who knows how to administer medicine to you? |
| 5157 | Speak, Salim, son of Sayf, shall we go to meet this Mshensi( pagan) or shall we return to our island?" |
| 5157 | Spiki dead? |
| 5157 | Supposing you are delirious, how can any of the soldiers know what you want, or what is beneficial and necessary for you? |
| 5157 | The Consul now introduces business; and questions about my travels follow from His Highness--"How do you like Persia?" |
| 5157 | The Sultan was very much inebriated, and was pleased to say,"What is it you want, you thief? |
| 5157 | The question,"Was the Rusizi an effluent or an influent?" |
| 5157 | The soups-- who cared for meat soups in Africa? |
| 5157 | Then began the questions, the gossipy, curious, serious, light questions:"How came the master? |
| 5157 | Therefore have I come to ask you, who gave you permission to use my soil for a burying- ground?" |
| 5157 | These are some of the questions I asked myself, as I tossed on my bed at night:--"How much money is required?" |
| 5157 | They paced backwards and forwards, asking themselves,"Are the Wagoga to be beaten like slaves by this Musungu? |
| 5157 | They would kill us all in a few minutes, and how would you ever reach Ujiji if you died? |
| 5157 | This is the last time; and what are one hundred cloths to you?" |
| 5157 | This is the singular farewell which I received from the Wanyamwezi of Singiri, and for its remarkable epic beauty(? |
| 5157 | Three bottles of curry were next produced-- but who cares for curry? |
| 5157 | To which of these rains should I compare this dreadful Masika of East Africa? |
| 5157 | W. M.--"How many fighting men have you?" |
| 5157 | W. M.--"How many soldiers have you?" |
| 5157 | W. M.--"The great, great chief?" |
| 5157 | W. M.--"Why do you come and make trouble, then?" |
| 5157 | Was HE still there? |
| 5157 | Was it not an afternoon march to enable caravans to reach water and food? |
| 5157 | Was it not in Musa Mzuri''s house?" |
| 5157 | Was not the cloth with which I bought him mine? |
| 5157 | Was the Makata bad?" |
| 5157 | We called to him when he was near, saying,''Master, where are you going so fast? |
| 5157 | We knew them to be the men we were expecting; so we hailed them, and said,''Masters, what are ye looking for?'' |
| 5157 | What Hajji Abdullah? |
| 5157 | What a deplorable state of mind, is it not? |
| 5157 | What about? |
| 5157 | What could a man have exaggerated of these facts? |
| 5157 | What did these dumb witnesses relate to me? |
| 5157 | What else?" |
| 5157 | What if he were marching to Unyanyembe directly into the war country? |
| 5157 | What is it? |
| 5157 | What shall I do? |
| 5157 | What were two antelopes for one day''s sport to the thousands that browsed over the plain? |
| 5157 | What will become of the people if I were killed? |
| 5157 | What will the leaders of it do now? |
| 5157 | When did Mionvu ever hear of white men warring against black men? |
| 5157 | When did you ever see him lift his hand against an offender? |
| 5157 | When my advice was asked by Thani, I voted the whole thing as sheer nonsense; and, in turn, asked him what a terekeza was for? |
| 5157 | When near to us, he hailed me with the words,"Yambo, bana?--How do you do, master?" |
| 5157 | Where are the other warriors of whom the Wangwana and Wanyamwezi bards sing? |
| 5157 | Where are ye going? |
| 5157 | Where did Hajji Abdullah and Spiki live when they were in Unyanyembe? |
| 5157 | Where is Sayd, the son of Majid? |
| 5157 | Where is mighty Kisesa-- great Abdullah bin Nasib? |
| 5157 | Where? |
| 5157 | Who are they that they should be compared to white men? |
| 5157 | Who can imagine the position? |
| 5157 | Who could have desecrated this solemn, holy harmony of nature? |
| 5157 | Who goes with me?" |
| 5157 | Who is he that having read them will not remember with horror the dreadful account given by Speke of his encounters with these pests? |
| 5157 | Who is your master? |
| 5157 | Who knows how long his weak health had borne up against the several disappointments to which he would be subjected? |
| 5157 | Who reads those newspapers, those''Saturday Reviews''and numbers of''Punch''lying on the floor?" |
| 5157 | Who will be the next?" |
| 5157 | Who will come to East Africa without reading the experiences of Burton and Speke? |
| 5157 | Whose clothes, whose boots, are those? |
| 5157 | Whose compass is that hanging on a peg there? |
| 5157 | Why do you molest him and his people? |
| 5157 | Why do you talk so?" |
| 5157 | Why does he not come to our village? |
| 5157 | Why does he stop on the road? |
| 5157 | Why does the white man halt in the road? |
| 5157 | Why is man so feeble, and weak, that he must tramp, tramp hundreds of miles to satisfy the doubts his impatient and uncurbed mind feels? |
| 5157 | Why should I go home before my task is ended, to have to come back again to do what I can very well do now?" |
| 5157 | Why should I trouble myself about him? |
| 5157 | Why will he not enter the village of Lukomo, where there is food and shade-- where we can discuss this thing quietly? |
| 5157 | Why, do you come to trouble the Wakonongo: What have you to do with them? |
| 5157 | Will Mionvu say what I can do for him?" |
| 5157 | Will the white man have war or peace?" |
| 5157 | Will they not desert me again? |
| 5157 | Will you walk to our village, and rest yourselves under the shade of our trees until we can send messengers to Kawanga?" |
| 5157 | With this small body of men, whither can I go? |
| 5157 | Would HE fly? |
| 5157 | Yambo....."How are you?" |
| 5157 | You have heard of the''New York Herald?''" |
| 5157 | You wo n''t? |
| 5157 | and is he stopping at Ujiji now?" |
| 5157 | are you Chumah, the friend of Wekotani?" |
| 5157 | said I,"do you really think I can find Dr Livingstone? |
| 5157 | we mutually asked questions of one another, such as"How did you come here?" |
| 5157 | what is that?" |
| 5157 | where do you come from?" |
| 32908 | A pleasant lot of fellows; and when is this infernal plot to be carried out? |
| 32908 | A ship lying to-- and what is there strange in that? |
| 32908 | And Dona Isabel? |
| 32908 | And Lucy Coetmore, Enrico, was she beautiful? |
| 32908 | And Lucy? |
| 32908 | And Mozelkatse''s pass is necessary to reach them? |
| 32908 | And Mozelkatse-- will he keep his word, think you? |
| 32908 | And did he ever get it? |
| 32908 | And did he yield? |
| 32908 | And did she die young? |
| 32908 | And do not they know of others? |
| 32908 | And do you for a moment think I am going to be shut up like a bandicoot in a hole, while others fight for life and liberty? |
| 32908 | And does it harm man? |
| 32908 | And from what direction? |
| 32908 | And have I not seen the bull fights of Seville? |
| 32908 | And have you any plans for the future, Enrico mio? |
| 32908 | And if I return no more, Isabel? |
| 32908 | And no other ruined huts are here? |
| 32908 | And now the fairy dream is over, what do you intend to do when we reach the Cape, Enrico? 32908 And she has told you that your love is returned, has she not?" |
| 32908 | And the boats? |
| 32908 | And the captain and remaining crew? |
| 32908 | And the crew? |
| 32908 | And the officer who connived at the escape? |
| 32908 | And the old priest-- what was Father Guy''s fate, Enrico? 32908 And the people?" |
| 32908 | And the stone tablets on the mountain? |
| 32908 | And this you think is the fate the wretches in yonder craft reserve for us? |
| 32908 | And this,continued Wyzinski, who seemed to have monopolised the conversation,"is it not a beautiful skin? |
| 32908 | And were none of the ships lost? |
| 32908 | And what are your intentions, Wyzinski, on your arrival at the Cape? |
| 32908 | And what is that over yonder, which I took for you? |
| 32908 | And what is that, father? |
| 32908 | And where is Cawnpore? |
| 32908 | And who owns the land? |
| 32908 | And who the deuce is Sgalam? |
| 32908 | And why should you wish so strongly to get into the interior? |
| 32908 | And you do n''t mean to go to England? |
| 32908 | And you say,asked Wyzinski,"that you often find worked and smelted gold here?" |
| 32908 | And you think that the Malays were part of her crew? |
| 32908 | And you, gentlemen,inquired the captain,"are of the same advice?" |
| 32908 | And your father, Isabel? |
| 32908 | And your poor friend, Senhor,asked Isabel;"did you never hear of him again?" |
| 32908 | Are the white men murderers as well as gold seekers? |
| 32908 | Are you hurt, Wyzinski? |
| 32908 | Are you ready, Wyzinski? |
| 32908 | Are you tired of our quiet life at the Cape, Enrico? |
| 32908 | Are you well enough to take command of your regiment? |
| 32908 | Ask him where his caracal is, Luji? |
| 32908 | Ay, ay; we could swim, but what use was swimming in such a sea? 32908 Ay, but how will you get over the sacred nature of the ruins if they do exist?" |
| 32908 | But how,asked Hughes, speaking his own tongue, which he had acquired in India,"how comes an Arab tribe settled here?" |
| 32908 | But quite strong enough to go down the stream-- of course I do n''t mean the stream of life, but of the Zambesi-- with Dona Isabel de Maxara? |
| 32908 | But that does not account for my seeing Masheesh at your side in yonder boat? |
| 32908 | But what about Mozelkatse? 32908 But what had become of the other?" |
| 32908 | But what were you doing here on the Zambesi, Captain Weber, and how came you in company with Masheesh? |
| 32908 | But why call it custard- apple, Hughes? |
| 32908 | But why did you not try to run over the bar like the schooner? |
| 32908 | But you reached the fort at last? |
| 32908 | But you think the pirate has left us? |
| 32908 | By whom? |
| 32908 | Can Masheesh procure a canoe? 32908 Can the Matabele warrior assert it as his own faith? |
| 32908 | Can we do nothing with our guns, Captain Weber? |
| 32908 | Can you give me any particulars about the entrance to the harbour? |
| 32908 | Can you make him out now? |
| 32908 | Can you walk, do you think, Wyzinski? |
| 32908 | Captain Weber, can we not take the remains of Dom Maxara on shore for burial? |
| 32908 | Could he be mistaken? 32908 Could not a lifeboat live in that sea?" |
| 32908 | Could we not make them hear us? |
| 32908 | Could you not tack and stand towards her? |
| 32908 | Danger!--how can there be? 32908 Did I not tell you, Enrico, all is against us? |
| 32908 | Did I understand you rightly that you have landed on the Madagascar coast? |
| 32908 | Did not Masheesh call yonder river the Golden River-- and why? |
| 32908 | Did you hear any lions about? |
| 32908 | Did you remain near each other? |
| 32908 | Do any of you gentlemen speak Kaffir? |
| 32908 | Do n''t you think a light infantry movement and a timely retreat would be a brilliant evolution? |
| 32908 | Do n''t you think you might utilise your light infantry education? |
| 32908 | Do you hear? |
| 32908 | Do you make out the boats, sir? |
| 32908 | Do you remember the Rajah who was a prisoner on the top of Bellary rock? |
| 32908 | Do you see yonder fellow at the wheel? 32908 Do you think he will keep his word, Wyzinski?" |
| 32908 | Do you think our guns did much damage among the Malays? |
| 32908 | Do you think so meanly of me? 32908 Do you think we can land with prudence, Wyzinski?" |
| 32908 | Do you think, Captain Weber, the fellow dare attack us again after the taste he had of our quality last night? |
| 32908 | Does not all this go to prove my theory, Hughes; and are we not approaching a gold country? |
| 32908 | Does the white chief disbelieve in the charm cast on the dead Amatonga? |
| 32908 | Had the captain not better be roused? |
| 32908 | Had we not better lie to till morning; may there not yet be some other survivor? |
| 32908 | Had we not better send Luji back to the tent? |
| 32908 | Have my white brethren all they can want? |
| 32908 | Have the white chiefs no fear of death,he asked,"that they sleep soundly?" |
| 32908 | Have you any plans for the future, Enrico mio? |
| 32908 | Have you any quinine, Senhor? |
| 32908 | Have you done, Enrico? |
| 32908 | Have you heard anything of Dom Maxara? |
| 32908 | Have you noticed how sullen the men seemed yesterday, how apathetic they were when the ship went about? |
| 32908 | Have you spoken to Adams and to Morris? |
| 32908 | Have you the muster roll of your losses? |
| 32908 | He gave you some trouble, did he not? |
| 32908 | Here comes the Matabele chief; what has he got? 32908 Here, Luji,"shouted Hughes, who was carefully loading his rifle,"just see what these fellows want, will you?" |
| 32908 | How are you, Curtis? |
| 32908 | How could I go to sleep? |
| 32908 | How do you account for the great confusion on board her? 32908 How does the white man account for Sgalam''s death?" |
| 32908 | How long do you propose lying here, Captain Weber? |
| 32908 | How''s her head now, Jones? |
| 32908 | How''s the barometer, sir? |
| 32908 | I climb in tree? |
| 32908 | I know that, none better; but what has that got to do with you? |
| 32908 | I say, Biddulph, wo n''t we trounce those Gwalior chaps? 32908 I say, Mr Lowe, you''ll let us poor beggars down mild, wo n''t you? |
| 32908 | I say, my lads,replied the still half- drunken man,"what''s the use of this kind of thing? |
| 32908 | I suppose there is not any danger here? |
| 32908 | I thought,replied Hughes,"that wherever the sugar cane prospers the climate is unhealthy?" |
| 32908 | I was wondering, Senhora,said Hughes, breaking the silence at last,"what made you think of a voyage to so remote a region as Africa?" |
| 32908 | I wish we were away from this horrible but beautiful island; and you, how did you escape? |
| 32908 | I wonder what we should do without the custard- apples? |
| 32908 | I wonder whether they have any quinine? 32908 I would say good bye to my father, Enrico,"murmured Isabel;"have we time?" |
| 32908 | I''ll think of it,replied the missionary;"but, Hughes, will you give me a certificate?" |
| 32908 | If ever I get the chance of paying off these thieves, wo n''t I? |
| 32908 | Is land far off? |
| 32908 | Is not that day breaking, away to the eastward? |
| 32908 | Is she armed? |
| 32908 | Is she, too, in such a hurry to leave Senna? |
| 32908 | Is that the star you mean, Enrico? |
| 32908 | Is the harbour dangerous at all times? |
| 32908 | Is there any one else hurt? |
| 32908 | Is there any stick that will serve for a jib- boom? |
| 32908 | Is this, like my own, your first trial of life on the plains of South Africa? 32908 Is your object to found new missions, or are you seeking a crown of martyrdom?" |
| 32908 | Isabel, can you return a soldier''s love? |
| 32908 | Just stop that fellow''s bellowing, Reynolds, will you? |
| 32908 | Killed by the natives, I suppose? 32908 Masheesh, must we send back the waggon?" |
| 32908 | Master hid away in hole? |
| 32908 | Master no like Quissango hippopotamus? 32908 Matter enough; have you seen any lions?" |
| 32908 | No, Adams; what do you make of it? |
| 32908 | Now, Wyzinski,asked his comrade, as he leaned on his rifle,"where runs the Zambesi? |
| 32908 | Phillips, do you remember when I took you on board at Saint Helena? 32908 Shall I tell you the history of the land, and my own views at the same time?" |
| 32908 | Shall I? |
| 32908 | Shall it be the white man''s? 32908 Shall we feel the loss of our spars much?" |
| 32908 | Shall we try our range, Captain Weber? |
| 32908 | So the white chief thinks Umhleswa cast the spell? |
| 32908 | Surely you will take me with you? |
| 32908 | Surely, you mean killed in open warfare, Enrico? 32908 The Amatonga have a custom; would you break that custom, and defile the grave of our brother with the blood of the innocent? |
| 32908 | The Senhor Dom Francisco Maxara? |
| 32908 | The Tati, chief? |
| 32908 | The white man speaking our language answers for his brother? |
| 32908 | Then you are in search of gold? |
| 32908 | There is a considerable sheet of water here, and why should it exist? 32908 There, that would carry you to somewhere about the latitude of Cape Correnti, and then?" |
| 32908 | They have their knives-- there are eleven of them, and we count how many? |
| 32908 | They seek some fallen huts, formerly made by their white fathers? |
| 32908 | To starboard or port? |
| 32908 | Umhleswa saved you when the knives of his people were about to drink your blood? |
| 32908 | Was it such a terrible one? |
| 32908 | We are well out of that, Wyzinski,remarked Hughes, as he seated himself at the foot of the rock,"and now, what are we to do next?" |
| 32908 | We shall near her rapidly then? |
| 32908 | We then resolve to strike the Zambesi, somewhere near Tete or Senna? |
| 32908 | Well, Enrico,--and my tale? |
| 32908 | Well, a chief has departed from among his people, and the Amatonga have lost a brave; but what then? |
| 32908 | Well, if so be as we are to go in for the yellow boys, why not now? 32908 Well, what is it, Forrest?" |
| 32908 | Well, what say you, shall we follow the spoor; it will lead us to yonder mountains, where we shall in all probability find the wounded panther? |
| 32908 | What could induce Umhleswa to tell us such an untruth? |
| 32908 | What course did you steer after leaving Delagoa Bay-- can you remember? |
| 32908 | What do you make her out, Williams? |
| 32908 | What do you mean? |
| 32908 | What do you say to making an hour or two of halt here, Wyzinski? |
| 32908 | What do you think of the weather, Captain Weber? |
| 32908 | What does? |
| 32908 | What has gone wrong? |
| 32908 | What has happened? |
| 32908 | What if we were to follow the young one? |
| 32908 | What is it? |
| 32908 | What is the matter with the Matabele? |
| 32908 | What is the news on deck? 32908 What master think the cry?" |
| 32908 | What news will interest you, Isabel? |
| 32908 | What on earth does he want with that hedgehog? |
| 32908 | What on earth is the matter? |
| 32908 | What on earth is wrong now? |
| 32908 | What tonnage was the` Saint Augustine''? 32908 What use will it be? |
| 32908 | What was it, Curtis? 32908 What was the meaning of the firing?" |
| 32908 | What''s a caracal, Wyzinski? |
| 32908 | What''s the matter? |
| 32908 | What''s the use? 32908 What, run away from the Landeens?" |
| 32908 | Where are Major Hughes''s quarters? |
| 32908 | Where away? |
| 32908 | Where away? |
| 32908 | Where is Masheesh? |
| 32908 | Where is my father? |
| 32908 | Where is the elephant? |
| 32908 | Where''s Harris? 32908 Where''s Noti?" |
| 32908 | Where, oh, where did you win that, Enrico mio? |
| 32908 | Who holds Saint Salvador House? |
| 32908 | Who is commanding officer? |
| 32908 | Who is that? |
| 32908 | Who owns the land, Luji? |
| 32908 | Who would have thought of meeting such a divine creature here, Wyzinski? 32908 Why do n''t you run for Delagoa Bay, captain?" |
| 32908 | Why were you lying to when we first sighted you? |
| 32908 | Why, what is the matter, Enrico? |
| 32908 | Why, what''s the matter? |
| 32908 | Will the God of the white man send rain when his children ask for it? |
| 32908 | Will the chief try? |
| 32908 | Will the white men keep their promise if Masheesh comes? |
| 32908 | Will they pay a ransom? |
| 32908 | Will they promise, by their God, not to go near the fallen huts if set free? |
| 32908 | Would it pain you to tell it me? |
| 32908 | Would you kill the innocent, and spare the guilty? |
| 32908 | Yes, at your service; but not having had any before, what have you been using? |
| 32908 | Yes, we did reach it at last, did n''t we, Hughes? |
| 32908 | You are a dead rifle shot,replied the captain, speaking slowly and deliberately,"are you not?" |
| 32908 | You are speaking of Natal, but what about this part of the country? |
| 32908 | You could both swim, I suppose? |
| 32908 | You have heard of the man, have you not, who thanked God he had at least reached a civilised country on seeing a gibbet? 32908 You seem to know the country, senhor?" |
| 32908 | You speak as if you like the country, Enrico? |
| 32908 | You think we shall have a storm? |
| 32908 | You think, then, we shall have wind? |
| 32908 | You will let me fight by your side? |
| 32908 | ` And so, Griffith,''he said to a man who was standing near the door,` that was all you learned?'' 32908 ` And you say great preparations were on foot for the reception of guests?'' |
| 32908 | ` Could you not join at once on receipt of this? 32908 And the poor wife? |
| 32908 | And what has become of Major Ashley?" |
| 32908 | And when is it to take place?" |
| 32908 | Are we not nearing Madagascar?" |
| 32908 | Are you aware that Isabel, on her father''s side, descends from the oldest dukedom of the land, that of the princely house of Cadaval?" |
| 32908 | Are you ready? |
| 32908 | Are you ready?" |
| 32908 | But what about the pass from Mozelkatse? |
| 32908 | But what are the ruins yonder? |
| 32908 | But what was that to him, and what had he to do with the blood of the Guzmans? |
| 32908 | But why should he be glad? |
| 32908 | But will not the senhor be too weak if we leave to- morrow?" |
| 32908 | Can it be on land?" |
| 32908 | Can we be near some large kraal?" |
| 32908 | Captain Hughes, will you tell Dona Isabel we are ready?" |
| 32908 | Could he refuse to share them with the man who had that day saved his life? |
| 32908 | Cracked, blackened, and defaced, there was no mistake, the stones were worked into flat slabs, but whose were the hands that fashioned them? |
| 32908 | Did he pay the penalty of his zeal?" |
| 32908 | Did you obtain it?" |
| 32908 | Do they know that death has been pronounced against them, and do they know the kind of death they must meet?" |
| 32908 | Do you believe me to be so unworthy of you?" |
| 32908 | Do you hear the wind sighing aloft? |
| 32908 | Do you hear? |
| 32908 | Do you know?" |
| 32908 | Do you not see, do you not remember what Masheesh told us this morning?" |
| 32908 | Do you remember, Hughes, shooting this wild cat in the tree the morning of that terrible day among the Amatongas?" |
| 32908 | Does it not seem strange to be floating about on a few sticks in the middle of the ocean? |
| 32908 | Does the blow come from them? |
| 32908 | Dom Assevedo''s messenger said so, did he not, Captain Weber?" |
| 32908 | For all covering a piece of hide round the loins, and what on earth has he on his face? |
| 32908 | Had they any affinity to those found in Mexico? |
| 32908 | Hallo what''s all that?" |
| 32908 | Has he spoken?" |
| 32908 | Have they worked the evil?" |
| 32908 | Have you any one you know in South Africa?" |
| 32908 | He has been gone many days and should be on his return?" |
| 32908 | He thought of Isabel, his wife,"where was she now?" |
| 32908 | How far do you reckon we are from land?" |
| 32908 | I say, Hughes, you can answer for how my fellows do their work? |
| 32908 | If he had been struck down and made prisoner with his rifle in his hand and wide awake, what chance was there for the sleeping soldier? |
| 32908 | If"Enrico"seemed pleasant from the mouth of the stately old noble, what was that first"Enrico mio"from those ruby lips? |
| 32908 | Is all this possible?" |
| 32908 | Is he credulous, like an Amatonga?" |
| 32908 | Is it the braves of Manica? |
| 32908 | Is it the men of the Batonga who have done this deed? |
| 32908 | Is there any one who understands an armourer''s business?" |
| 32908 | Isabel, can you not persuade the Senhor to join us?" |
| 32908 | Load?" |
| 32908 | My scouts are out on the spoor: will the white men join my braves this day?" |
| 32908 | No one ever reads prefaces now- a- days; why, therefore, should I write one? |
| 32908 | Perhaps you, gentlemen, will honour me with a visit?" |
| 32908 | Senhor de Maxara, will you order your men to get your boat ready?" |
| 32908 | Shall I rouse the crew?" |
| 32908 | Shall I tell you of this?" |
| 32908 | Shall I, a daughter of sunny Portugal, in whose veins flows the proud blood of Castille, bid you stay?" |
| 32908 | Should n''t that whaling chap be down yonder away, sir?" |
| 32908 | Speak to Masheesh-- will you?" |
| 32908 | Suppose you tell me the rest of the tale you left unfinished that fearful night on the raft; or shall we ride to Wynebergh?" |
| 32908 | Was it Wyzinski following him? |
| 32908 | Was it possible he knew of the ambush? |
| 32908 | We deserve all we''ll get, but you''ll not be down on us too hard, will ye?" |
| 32908 | Well, Masheesh, what''s wrong?" |
| 32908 | What are they doing?" |
| 32908 | What better time than the present? |
| 32908 | What can have become of Masheesh?" |
| 32908 | What did he ask, and who was he?" |
| 32908 | What had he done to you that he should lie there, you damned mutinous scoundrels?" |
| 32908 | What has an old Portuguese fort to do with all this?" |
| 32908 | What if he fell in the unequal fight which was to take place? |
| 32908 | What if he were to utilise Masheesh''s absence? |
| 32908 | What is there to fear?" |
| 32908 | What on earth did Dona Isabel''s position matter to him? |
| 32908 | What say you to landing in our park, taking possession, and having our dinner there?" |
| 32908 | What to him was land? |
| 32908 | What to me is yonder ship? |
| 32908 | What was it, indeed? |
| 32908 | What would the ambushed man have given had even Luji been within range? |
| 32908 | Who are those fellows?" |
| 32908 | Who built them?" |
| 32908 | Why the devil did n''t she find herself here away yesterday?" |
| 32908 | Will the chief give it now?" |
| 32908 | Will the senhors honour us by becoming the latter?" |
| 32908 | Will the white chiefs promise?" |
| 32908 | Will the white men give their rifles now?" |
| 32908 | Will you certify there are no monkeys in your Light Company?" |
| 32908 | Will you join me, captain? |
| 32908 | Will you join me?" |
| 32908 | Will you know the place again?" |
| 32908 | Wo n''t that be a treat after weeks of venison diet?" |
| 32908 | Yonder fellows have flint musquets: where did they get them, Luji?" |
| 32908 | You heard Umhleswa ask about the rain?" |
| 32908 | You see yonder schooner?" |
| 32908 | and can we go down the river?" |
| 32908 | and what became of him?" |
| 32908 | asked the missionary;"why, what had the monkey and lion in common?" |
| 32908 | do you hear that?" |
| 32908 | exclaimed Wyzinski, at once mounting his favourite hobby,"where are they?" |
| 32908 | she ejaculated,"where am I?" |
| 32908 | shouted a man, who was holding on in the mizen rigging of the ship,"what raft is that?" |
| 32908 | will you join me in the search?" |
