38253 | And do you agree with me that the prime of life may be reasonably reckoned at a period of twenty years for a woman, and thirty for a man? |
38253 | But I suppose you will hardly extend your approbation to my next proposition? |
38253 | What is that? |
38253 | Where do you place these years? |
38253 | And Emir Hussein asked him, how dare you come to Mecca being a friend of the Portuguese? |
38253 | He says:"But how are they to distinguish fathers and daughters, and the relations you described just now?" |
38253 | N''est- ce pas faire de Carsa un dieu chimérique?" |
3810 | Did n''t you say,I asked,"that you heard I had got a fine lion?" |
3810 | How far away are they? |
3810 | Shot? |
3810 | That''s not much of a dream, is it? |
3810 | Well,I replied,"are you really very anxious to shoot one before you go home?" |
3810 | Where on earth have you come from? |
3810 | Where? |
3810 | Why did n''t you turn up to dinner last night? |
3810 | Why, what''s up? |
3810 | After a little I again asked,"Where are the lions?" |
3810 | As a coolie gravely remarked,"Was he not fighting with a lion?" |
3810 | I plied him with questions-- were they both lions or lionesses? |
3810 | My thoughts being full of my adventures of the day before, I answered:"Yes, I did; but how on earth did you hear of it?" |
3810 | On coming nearer, the leader of the party eagerly asked in Swahili,"What does the Bwana Makubwa("Great Master") desire?" |
3810 | Pathans going to allow themselves to be led away by men of that kind? |
3810 | Poor Ungan Singh must have died hard; but what chance had he? |
3810 | The lion''s roar was such that the very earth would tremble at the sound, and where was the man who did not feel afraid? |

21254 | Could he make it? |
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 | [ Drawing:_ Camp in the Forest_]"Can Askar take us up to the cave and the big door?" |
10362 | And how shall I pay for food the next two months, if my pay is 200 rupees only, and hospital expenses 500? |
10362 | Before I consider surrender,he said,"tell me what force you''ve got?" |

10362 | How about the lice? |
10362 | How can you ask your men to carry loads and then fight as well, in Equatorial Africa? |
10362 | How is it that I do n''t get close to the good fellows on board the ship? |
10362 | It ca n''t be you? |
10362 | We are not barbarians, are we Fritz? |
10362 | Well, what about it? |
10362 | What do you mean,he exclaimed in anger,"by a little longer?" |
10362 | What,I said again,"do you suggest that these soldiers are thieves?" |
10362 | Why do n''t these fellow- officers of mine come to church? 10362 Why do they put you in with coloured men?" |
10362 | Would you care to nurse our wounded soldiers? |
10362 | And had the Hun been of such, a fibre as to appreciate the lesson, of what great value we might hope that it would be? |
10362 | But how could a man of character go to God''s House and be such an infernal hypocrite? |
10362 | But the true Hun character came out when he asked whether the hated Boers were coming? |
10362 | But what does it profit him to tuck in the net when dysentery drags him from his blanket every hour at night? |
10362 | But will the French? |
10362 | Can one wonder that she was everywhere and anywhere at all homes and in all places? |
10362 | Can you wonder that Tommy understood, and, understanding, copied this example? |
10362 | Can you wonder that the soldier spoke of his padre comrade in such generous terms and that the whole tone of the regiment improved? |
10362 | Could one wonder at the wolfish look upon his face, the dreary hopelessness of his expression? |
10362 | Do we not think that it is a good thing that our army is, by force of circumstances, a teetotal one? |
10362 | Do you blame gentle Sister Mabel that she would never speak to any Hun in German, using only Swahili and precious little of that? |
10362 | Do you think these two ruffians will get the rope? |
10362 | Do you wonder that the stewards and crew of the Union Castle liner struck work rather than convey and look after these beasts on the voyage to Europe? |
10362 | For did not the Emperor''s Eagle now float over Paris and Petersburg? |
10362 | Have n''t you heard the tale that Rumpel tells after his escape? |
10362 | He did not look to be made of heroic mould, but who can tell? |
10362 | How could I hold him back? |
10362 | How could one think that harm could lurk in the tincture of such fragrant things as the flowers of English meadows? |
10362 | How could we tell he was a doctor? |
10362 | How is it that fellows I know to be good and generous and kindly are yet to be found at the bar, in the smoking- room, when my service is on? |
10362 | How is it, you might ask me, that there are any natives left, if tropical Africa is so full of such beastly diseases as this? |
10362 | How should he need the padre, when God Himself is near? |
10362 | How the prestige of the white man had fallen, for had not natives seen white men, on both sides, run away before them? |
10362 | How then could one expect him to put up a mosquito net in the pitch- black darkness in a country where every tree has got a thorn? |
10362 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
10362 | Rather an unpleasant name, is n''t it? |
10362 | SHERRY AND BITTERS A common inquiry put to doctors is,"What do you think of the alcohol question in a tropical campaign?" |
10362 | THE GERMAN IN PEACE AND WAR"What do I think of this country, and how does the Hun of East Africa compare with his European brother?" |
10362 | The Governor''s palace, where is it? |
10362 | The railway was broken, the bridges down, and where could we look for help or hospital comforts or medical necessities? |
10362 | To one in whom the spirit of adventure and romance is not dead what more attractive than an elephant hunter''s life? |
10362 | True they built the railway; but what use to a planter to build a line and rob him of his profits in the freight? |
10362 | We, however, are natural, we like to look at such things, why should we not carry them with us?" |
10362 | What are we to believe?" |
10362 | What can one do with such a people? |
10362 | What can the native do? |
10362 | What could I do but tell him the truth? |
10362 | What do you tell us when we go to early chapel in the morning? |
10362 | What is going to happen to German children? |
10362 | What more natural than that they should keep their drugs for their own troops? |
10362 | What of the two dry docks that were to make Dar- es- Salaam the only ship- repairing station on the East Coast? |
10362 | Where are our prisoners that the Belgians took in Ujiji and along the line? |
10362 | Who could blame a Hun when the British were such fools and forgery of receipts so easy? |
10362 | Who could tell their pressing need in months to come? |
10362 | Who would run his machine- gun section, if he were away, and his battalion in action? |
10362 | Will Italy forgive? |
10362 | Will the Mohammedan world condone this? |
10362 | Would you care to go for walks?" |
10362 | Would you like native servants? |
10362 | You do n''t believe these stories of German brutalities, do you?" |
10362 | what will the Belgians do when they hear the tales that are told of our German troops in Belgium? |
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?" |
37472 | ''By whom?'' 37472 ''One day a man came up to me and said,"Are you looking for work?" |
37472 | ''Well, what''s that to do with there being no heart or ears?'' 37472 ''What does this mean?'' |
37472 | ''When the other three slaves came to my father, he asked them,Where is your master?" |
37472 | ''Where are they?'' 37472 ''Why, did n''t you know this was a washerman''s donkey?'' |
37472 | A wonder? |
37472 | Ah, where is he? |
37472 | Ah,cried she,"do you think I would say such a thing if it were not so?" |
37472 | Are you a traveler? |
37472 | Are you mad? |
37472 | Are you the man who married our mistress? |
37472 | As Bolookeea drew near, one of the genii said to him''Where are you going?'' 37472 Do n''t you see for yourself,"continued one of them,"that he is on the dust heap? |
37472 | Do you hear the great one coming? |
37472 | Do you know what your name is? |
37472 | Do you take me for a washerman''s donkey? |
37472 | How can I go? |
37472 | How could I help it? |
37472 | How so? |
37472 | How''s that, gentlemen? |
37472 | Hullo, old lady,said he;"how is it I smell a new kind of odor inside there?" |
37472 | Indeed? 37472 Is it possible that in this world there is anything that is positively good? |
37472 | Look here, old lady; ca n''t you put me on to some plan of getting near this big snake, that I may kill him? |
37472 | Mad? 37472 Now, husband,"persisted the lady,"what has Keejeepaa done to you? |
37472 | Now, when that man had wandered until he reached Egypt, he met another man, who asked him,''Who are you?'' 37472 Of course,"said the gazelle;"did n''t I promise you? |
37472 | Oh, everything is going along pretty well,said he;"what''s the news around here?" |
37472 | Oh, is it? |
37472 | Oh, well,said the master,"what can I do? |
37472 | Oh, yes, master; shall we march up to it? |
37472 | Then I said to him,''Where do you expect to find him, if he''s not yet born? 37472 Then Soongoora waited many days, until the lion and the donkey were both well and strong, when he said:''What do you think now, Simba? |
37472 | Well,said the lion,"what is it this time?" |
37472 | Well,said the master,"what do you want, old woman?" |
37472 | Well? |
37472 | What about? |
37472 | What are you thinking about? |
37472 | What do you mean by talking in that manner to me? |
37472 | What do you want, then? |
37472 | What peculiarity is there about a washerman''s donkey? |
37472 | What was your father''s name? |
37472 | What would be the best thing to do with you, then? |
37472 | What''s the matter with you? |
37472 | What''s your name? |
37472 | What? 37472 What?" |
37472 | Where are his books? |
37472 | Where do you come from? |
37472 | Where, master? |
37472 | Who has beaten you so dreadfully? |
37472 | Who in the world ever before knew of a gazelle that could speak? |
37472 | Who is your mistress? |
37472 | Whose honey? |
37472 | Why do n''t you come and walk in our town? |
37472 | Why do you say that, mistress? |
37472 | Why, how is that? |
37472 | Why, what is there to tell? |
37472 | Why,said he,"I was thinking this: When people like us put on new coats, where do the old ones go to?" |
37472 | ''Whose son are you?'' |
37472 | After the cry had been repeated several times, the sultan said to his attendants,"Who is doing all that calling?" |
37472 | And directly an old woman inside answered,"Who is that calling so loudly?" |
37472 | As soon as he was within reach, the lion caught hold of him, and asked,"Who was up there with you?" |
37472 | At last I came to a town where one asked me,"Who are you?" |
37472 | At last he said,"Well?" |
37472 | At last some of the people plucked up courage; and, going to the sultan, said:"How is this, master? |
37472 | At this Haamdaanee turned and said:"Why do you push me on the cheek, when I''ve done nothing to you? |
37472 | At this the monkey poked his head out from among the upper branches and asked, in great surprise,"Going? |
37472 | But Eenzee said,"If I were so powerful would I be eaten by the gazelle?" |
37472 | But Haamdaanee, paying no attention to the men, said to Moohaadeem,"How much for one of your gazelles?" |
37472 | But Kaamba said,"If I were so powerful would I be cut by a knife?" |
37472 | But Keesoo said,"If I were so powerful would I be burned by the fire?" |
37472 | But Keeyambaaza said,"If I were so powerful would I be bored through by the rat?" |
37472 | But Koosee said,"If I were so powerful would I be stopped by a mud wall?" |
37472 | But Maajee said,"If I were so powerful would I be drunk by the ox?" |
37472 | But Moto said,"If I were so powerful would I be put out by water?" |
37472 | But Ng''ombay said,"If I were so powerful would I be tormented by the fly?" |
37472 | But Paaka said,"If I were so powerful would I be tied by a rope?" |
37472 | But Paanya said,"If I were so powerful would I be eaten by a cat?" |
37472 | But in a very little while Simba roared out angrily:"Who are you, I say? |
37472 | But the gazelle answered:"Ah, my master, can I take these soldiers with me and put Sultan Daaraaee to shame? |
37472 | Did n''t you see him when I threw him down?" |
37472 | Do n''t you know me?" |
37472 | Do you know that he occupies himself with eating people, and donkeys, and horses, and oxen and goats and everything he can lay his hands on? |
37472 | Do you see it?" |
37472 | Do you think he would want to buy a gazelle? |
37472 | Every day, as I pass this place, I say,''How d''ye do, house?'' |
37472 | Food that is both sweet and bitter is good food, but if food were nothing but sweetness would it not be injurious?" |
37472 | Has he done you any wrong? |
37472 | Has this big snake a sword?" |
37472 | Have you rented all these things, or have they been given you? |
37472 | He was, of course, very much troubled at this; and his mother said,"Now, where do you expect to find this noondah? |
37472 | How d''ye do?" |
37472 | How did I get back here, I wonder?" |
37472 | How did you get this town? |
37472 | How''s this? |
37472 | If I take it to my master he will be killed; for, being a poor man, if they say to him,''Where did you get it?'' |
37472 | If he had any money, would n''t he buy a square meal, for once in his life? |
37472 | In the midst of the feast, who should appear at the foot of the tree but Sim''ba, the lion? |
37472 | Is it the noondah?" |
37472 | Is that so?" |
37472 | Is there anything else you want? |
37472 | Just then Mr. Simba, who owned the honey, came out again, and, looking up, inquired,"Who are you, up there?" |
37472 | Just then the children going along, and seeing him, laughed and hooted at him, calling out:"Hullo, Haamdaanee, where have you been? |
37472 | Koongooroo had lain in the street but a short time, when some passing kites saw him and inquired threateningly,"What are you doing here in our town?" |
37472 | Lion is inside, is he?" |
37472 | Looking up, and seeing them eating, he asked,"Who are you?" |
37472 | Next Mchaawee said,"Have you seen our country game?" |
37472 | Now, then, do you think yourself a match for him?" |
37472 | Now, what on earth are we to do?" |
37472 | One day I saw a stranger coming along, and I said to him,''Where are you from?'' |
37472 | Say nothing except,''How d''ye do?'' |
37472 | Seeing him so overcome, Keejeepaa asked,"Why, master, what''s the matter?" |
37472 | Shall I bring you your meat?'' |
37472 | So Simba caught the hare, and, holding him with his paw, said,"Now, what shall I do with you?" |
37472 | So he led them to the house of the king of the snakes, who, when he saw him, said,"Did n''t I tell you you would come back to kill me?" |
37472 | So, when the lion asked again,"Who are you?" |
37472 | Staring wildly he looked around to the right and left, saying:"Oh, who has played this trick on me? |
37472 | The master, looking around and seeing her, said:"What''s the matter now, old woman?" |
37472 | The next victim was a camel; and when they told the sultan he said:"What''s the matter with you folks? |
37472 | Then Bolookeea asked him,''Who are you?'' |
37472 | Then Keejeepaa said,"You do n''t bear any ill will against me, who am only a messenger?" |
37472 | Then another of those men broke in:"You''re very innocent, are n''t you? |
37472 | Then another one said:"What''s the use? |
37472 | Then his wife said:"Oh, husband, wo n''t you go down and see the poor gazelle? |
37472 | Then it came out of the well and said:"How? |
37472 | Then suddenly he thought to himself,"Where did that scorpion come from? |
37472 | Then the sultan asked him,"Why should this man invite you to his home and then speak ill of you?" |
37472 | Then the young man said,"Now the sun is setting, shall we fire at it, or let be till morning?" |
37472 | Then they exchanged salutations and compliments, after which she asked the gazelle,"What''s the news from your place, grandson?" |
37472 | Then, cautiously going back a little way, he called out:"How d''ye do, house? |
37472 | This is it,"said she, taking from its peg a very keen and beautiful blade, and handing it to him;"but what''s the use in bothering about it? |
37472 | This scared the youth pretty badly, and he faltered,"What are we to do?" |
37472 | Those three are already dead; and if you are killed also, will not that be one wound upon another to my heart?" |
37472 | To which he answered:"Have n''t I told you often enough not to bother me?" |
37472 | We eat rice; is n''t red millet good enough for a gazelle that cost only a dime?" |
37472 | Well, what is it?" |
37472 | What are you crying about? |
37472 | What are you frightened about?" |
37472 | What do you want from me?'' |
37472 | What has become of the inhabitants of the place?'' |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have I done?" |
37472 | What have you in that cage?" |
37472 | What is the matter with him?" |
37472 | What kind of animals?" |
37472 | What shall we do?" |
37472 | What work did my father do to support us?" |
37472 | What would he do with it? |
37472 | When he had heard it, he said:"Did he really tell you to make me red millet gruel?" |
37472 | When he returned in the same manner, his master asked:"Well, what''s the news? |
37472 | When the lion heard this he called out,"How d''ye do?" |
37472 | When the tortoise reached the ground, the lion said,"You''re pretty hard; what can I do to make you eatable?" |
37472 | Where are you going?'' |
37472 | Where do you come from? |
37472 | Where?" |
37472 | Who are you?" |
37472 | Who are you?'' |
37472 | Who are you?'' |
37472 | Who calls?" |
37472 | Who is the owner of this house? |
37472 | Who owns it?" |
37472 | Why are you beating me? |
37472 | Why are you beating me? |
37472 | Why are you beating me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why do you beat me? |
37472 | Why, then, should I grieve you? |
37472 | Why, what do you mean?" |
37472 | Wo n''t you make it?" |
37472 | Would you like a drink?" |
37472 | Yet he has never asked:''How did you get this house? |
37472 | You told me this honey was yours; am I right in suspecting that it belongs to Simba?" |
37472 | and the house always answers,''How d''ye do?'' |
37472 | and''What''s the news?'' |
37472 | ejaculated Keema;"do n''t you know about us? |
37472 | exclaimed his wife, staring at him in amazement;"do you wish her to feed our friend with stuff that a horse would not eat if he were ever so hungry? |
37472 | have n''t you your heart here?" |
37472 | have you got it?'' |
37472 | he cried;"who are you?" |
37472 | laughed Keejeepaa;"is that all? |
37472 | said she;"who would have thought you could be a match for him, my grandson?" |
37472 | said the gazelle, looking all around;"why, what is this wonder, that makes you act as if you were all broken up?" |
37472 | said the horse;"where do you come from, you son of Adam?" |
37472 | said the shark, anxiously;"why do n''t you speak?" |
37472 | they exclaimed with surprise,"are you not going to church to- day?" |
