21979	You remember her, Shepherd?
21979	Zhall we get down and go furder into wood, or zhall we wait here?"
21979	he repeated;"what are you talking about zhaving?"
21979	the young wife exclaimed, apprehensively,"what could she do?
21979	whom do I see here?"
55779	An Englishman?
55779	And I suppose that you know something of trade?
55779	And how about Burnes?
55779	And now you come hither as a spy?
55779	And now, chief, what do you propose to do with me?
55779	And so it is you, chief, to whom I owe my life?
55779	And what do people say about the Russians? 55779 And would you thus burden yourself with a stranger?"
55779	Are they madmen, who think they can tear down the walls of Ghuznee with their finger- nails?
55779	Are you awake?
55779	Are you going anywhere, master?
55779	Are you ready to undertake a hazardous mission?
55779	But does your chief guarantee that we shall go unmolested down to Dadur?
55779	But how,he said doubtfully,"can your country, which is, as I hear, very far distant, exercise any influence with the Shah?
55779	But what is our army doing?
55779	But who are you, then, who have travelled so far, and how is it that having learned so many languages you are now here as a peasant?
55779	But why should England have interfered? 55779 Can you find your way across the mountains in the dark?
55779	Do you know the name of this chief?
55779	Do you know where they have brought us?
55779	Do you not see that we are friends?
55779	Do you not think that Kamran will be able at any important moment to come forward and show himself among the defenders of the breach? 55779 Do you think that Akbar was a sharer in this treacherous attack?"

55779	How could this have happened, Azim? 55779 How do they intend to take Ghuznee?
55779	How long is the pass, master?
55779	How much would be charged?
55779	How on earth did you manage it?
55779	How quickly have you come from Cabul? 55779 How was it that you did not turn back when you found that your army was retiring without having captured Herat?"
55779	I hear that one of your men is ill, can anything be done for him? 55779 I suppose it would be of no use taking torches?"
55779	In the first place,the general said,"what is the state of the Bolan?"
55779	Is it true that the kafirs are bringing no big guns with them?
55779	It means, then,he said,"that if I do not leave Herat there will be war?"
55779	May I ask what dress it will be proper for me to wear?
55779	Shall I get the woman''s dress?
55779	Shall you be sending a message to the minister?
55779	So you are back, Suffyd?
55779	Then why do you not do it? 55779 Then why should you go, master?"
55779	Then you do n''t think things are going on well?
55779	Then, if we are attacked we must be taken prisoners?
55779	There were no troops there, then?
55779	They tell me,the governor said,"that you can speak our tongue?"
55779	Well, how much would you charge?
55779	Well, lad, have you thought of any plan yet?
55779	Well, lad?
55779	Well, what would you have? 55779 Were you in the Persian camp?"
55779	What are we to take, master? 55779 What are you doing, fools?"
55779	What are you smiling at, Campbell?
55779	What are you thinking of doing?
55779	What can it mean? 55779 What do you think has happened?"
55779	What do you want?
55779	What does it matter,he said,"whether the soldiers take things or not?
55779	What has happened?
55779	What is it that you have come to ask of me? 55779 What is it that you want with me?"
55779	What is its nature?
55779	What is to be done next?
55779	What on earth does this mean?
55779	What should I do with money without employment?
55779	What should we say,he burst out,"if the families of Dost Mahomed and Akbar himself were to be sold by your people as slaves to some barbarous race?

55779	When do you expect that a relief column will arrive from Peshawur?
55779	When you have been in the city, Azim, have you ever seen our friend Sadut?
55779	Where are you wounded?
55779	Where could we put him in prison?
55779	Where did you learn it?
55779	Where did you say you came from?
55779	Where in the world did you get these wedges?
55779	Which, think you, would be best-- to travel straight for Cabul when you hear that the British have arrived there, or to wait here? 55779 Who are you?"
55779	Who can withstand your people when they are fighting among your own hills? 55779 Why are we brought here?
55779	Why come you here, Persian?
55779	Why trouble to bring him as a prisoner?
55779	Will you tell Izaac effendi that I desire greatly to speak to him?
55779	Yes, what your minister says is true; but will he do this at once?
55779	You are Mr. Campbell, the young gentleman of whom our vice- consul at Tabriz writes to me?
55779	You are aware of its contents?
55779	You have come hither for purposes of trade? 55779 You have my disguise ready and your own, Azim?"
55779	You journeyed here comfortably, I hope?
55779	You speak Persian, your excellency?
55779	''Do you think that because our chief is a traitor we are traitors too?''"
55779	Angus said,"and why have we been carried off?"
55779	Angus uttered an exclamation of disgust, and Azim struck another blow at his plan by saying,"How would you get the horses out, master?
55779	Are there any of your tribe who would act as a guide for us?
55779	Are you alone going to fail?"
55779	Are you going to return to the embassy or remain here?"
55779	Are you uninjured?"
55779	As for to- morrow, who can say?"
55779	As soon as they had cleared the snow and opened the felt out a little, Sadut called--"Are you awake, Hassan?"
55779	Besides, how could they have told that a Momund chief had been here with Dost Mahomed when he passed through?"
55779	But how did you learn that I was going to try to make my way down to Jellalabad?
55779	But how should we get the camel?"
55779	But should I see him have you any message for him?
55779	But why do you stand so far away?"
55779	But why should they have taken this trouble?
55779	CHAPTER XIX THE BRITISH CAPTIVES"Why are you going as a Cashmerian?"
55779	Campbell?"
55779	Can you tell me how it was that my wife, Lady Macnaghten, and the other ladies, escaped uninjured?
55779	Can you tell me where I can procure a lodging?"
55779	Did you suffer from want of water?"
55779	Do you know any other language at all?"
55779	Do you think that you can do it without his hearing you?
55779	From what city do you come?"
55779	Has the chief returned?"
55779	Have you European clothes with you?"
55779	Have you a good commander?"
55779	Have you cooked some of the flour?"
55779	Have you ever been through by night before?"
55779	Have you, chief, taken part in this terrible business?"
55779	How comes it that you have entered this lonely gorge with your pack- horses and your goods?"
55779	How did men say it was that they failed to capture Herat, which is but a weak town?"
55779	How have you got through?"
55779	How is that?"
55779	How long are you going to stay here?"
55779	How long would it take us?"
55779	How many years has your excellency?"
55779	How much would you be willing to pay?"
55779	How old are you now?"
55779	I suppose Mohun Lal really did give you the assurance about the ransom?"
55779	I suppose that he will be armed?"
55779	I suppose you have come to see how we are getting on?"
55779	I suppose you speak Persian well?"
55779	I suppose you will start at once?"
55779	If someone did not come in an hour, why should he come in a week or a month?"
55779	Is it you who has thus made us prisoners?"
55779	Is that your man over there with the two horses?
55779	Now that you have told us about yourself, please give us any details you can of what you saw of the fighting?"
55779	Now, I suppose you want something to eat?
55779	Now, about forage?"
55779	Presently he said:"But we have no pen and ink to write this order?"
55779	Shall I desert my friends when they most need comfort and aid?
55779	Shall I mention your name to him?"
55779	Should I speak to him if I do so?"
55779	Surely you could not send an army all that distance?"
55779	The officers were silent for a minute, and then Pottinger said:"What do you think, Brigadier?
55779	The question is, do you feel strong enough to travel through the mountains?
55779	Then you saw nothing of it?"
55779	There would be no harm in that, would there?"
55779	Think you that Saleh would let me traffic with them?"
55779	Was there any news when you left there?"
55779	We know about it as far as the edge of Beloochee Desert; what is it beyond that?
55779	Were they very strong?
55779	What are your instructions?
55779	What disguise could he adopt, and how could he evade the vigilance of those who were watching him?
55779	What do you think of the state of affairs?
55779	What guarantee does Mohun Lal offer that these terms shall be fulfilled?"
55779	What harm have we done?"
55779	What is my friendship worth if I should, now in your hour of need, turn my back upon you?
55779	What motive, chief, could I have in deceiving you?"
55779	What on earth can Macnaghten and Elphinstone be doing?"
55779	What would happen if the British again settled down at Cabul?
55779	When do we start?"
55779	When will you start?"
55779	Where are you dwelling now?"
55779	Where are you thinking of cashing this?"
55779	Which road will he go by?"
55779	Who do you think it is?"
55779	Why leave the animals?"
55779	Why not kill him?
55779	Why should a man throw away his life?
55779	Why should he not have bought a larger store of Indian goods to exchange with the Turkomans?
55779	Why should they leave us our swords and provide a good meal for us if they intended to murder us afterwards?"
55779	Will they fly over the walls or burrow through the rock?"
55779	Will you undertake that mission?
55779	Would you be ready to start on Thursday?"
55779	Would you wish me to return as soon as I have delivered your message?"
55779	You have a horse, of course, and a servant, I suppose?"
55779	You know Syud Moorteza?"
55779	Your father had correspondents also in Bombay, had he not?"
55779	and why should they have prepared this place beforehand for our reception?
55779	he said,"and what message can one like you bear to me?"
55779	he said;"and how come you to speak our language?"
55779	if so, how was it that the Shah was friendly with them?
55779	were they infidels?
55779	were they really in alliance with Persia?
