15658	How many are there of these little missionaries, do you ask?
15658	How many in the New Testament?
15658	How many in the Old Testament?
15658	How much is one- quarter of an Anna?
15658	I do not think the King will leave a province where He has buried so much treasure in the hands of the enemy, do you?
15658	I had been teaching them this Psalm, but I did not know how well they knew it; it was a nice answer, do not you think so?
15658	I hope he is an honest man, although I do not think he looks very honest, do you?
15658	I wonder whether he got them at the grocer''s?
15658	I wonder whether the myrrh which Nicodemus used to embalm the body of our Saviour for His burial came from Arabia?
15658	Is His mercy to these children of Abraham clean gone forever?
15658	Is not the design very pretty for an embroidery pattern?
15658	It is hard to love the cruel slave trader, is it not?
15658	Little black_ and white_ boys are always ready to eat, are they not?
15658	Moreover, do you not think that if they keep on buying gospels and reading them, Jesus Christ will some time be the true_ Imam of Muscat and Oman_?
15658	Not a big value, is it?
15658	One morning I held up the Bible and asked them,''What is this?''
15658	That surely contradicts the other picture, does it not?
15658	The words are very beautiful I think, do n''t you?
15658	They often tell us,"You are so good and kind why do n''t you accept the true religion and become a believer?"
15658	They said to the blind man, throw away your stick; he replied, why desert an old friend?
15658	Think of Noorah''s question,"_ You_, why do n''t you pray?"
15658	WHY IS ARABIA TOPSY- TURVY LAND?
15658	What did Noorah pray?
15658	What do Noorah and her more than two million Bedouin sisters ask of God five times daily?
15658	What do you think of our second picture?
15658	What does St. Paul say?
15658	What is an Imam?
15658	What''s the good of a house without food?
15658	When Noorah had ended her prayer and resumed the task of belabouring the white camel, she turned to me with a question,_"Laish ma tesully anta?
15658	Who is Fessul bin Turkee?
15658	Why did Noorah pray?
15658	Why?
15658	Will He not answer it?
15658	Will you ask God to make the boys pray this prayer from their hearts?
15658	Will you not pray for western Arabia, and also for the Arab slave dealers that God may soften their hearts and make them stop their bad work?
15658	Will you not pray that they may learn to value the Pearl of Great Price?
15658	Would it not be nice to make something pretty for use in the home or in the Sunday- school, and embroider the Arabic words on it?
15658	Would you like to hear how a day was spent in this Muscat school when the boys were beginning to learn?
15658	Would you like to hear something about their language and their writing?
15658	Would you like to hear something, before we close this book about the missions that are now working in this country?
15658	Would you like to know how they make bread in Arabia?
15658	Would you like to walk in the hot sand with no covering for your feet?
15658	You do not think that is dear, do you, for a boat that holds a crew of twenty?
15658	You remember reading in chapter three how they took the black stone from Mecca?
15658	_ Potato_ in Arabic would be written with English letters this way: O A O T T P Can you read it?
15658	but,"have you had your cup of Mocha coffee?"
34959	Have I then deserved death?
34959	''A cold hand, a hot cheek, a bright eye?''
34959	''Am I a fool because I desire your love?
34959	''Am I a jackal, that I should sniff at dead bodies?''
34959	''Am I a widow?
34959	''Am I afraid?
34959	''Am I more dear to you than so much gold, Zehowah?''
34959	''Am I not young and beautiful, and possessed of many jewels and treasures?
34959	''And am I foolish, because I have done this thing?''
34959	''And are not all men her sons also?''
34959	''And are there no women to mourn over the dead of your kindred who have fallen in a good fight?
34959	''And are you not pleased that you are to be the wife of Abdul Kerim, who is a rich man and still young?''
34959	''And besides, are you not an unbeliever?''
34959	''And besides, are you not my lord and my master?
34959	''And besides, what need have we of Abdullah to help us into the palace?
34959	''And did not this Abdullah in the first place divorce with ignominy his second wife, who is my kinswoman, being the daughter of my father''s sister?
34959	''And do you think that Allah does not know before whether the man will stretch out his hand or not?''
34959	''And how can I do what you wish?''
34959	''And if I destroy all your enemies and the enemies of your people, will you love me then, Zehowah?''
34959	''And if the soldiers will not go with you, will you indeed go out alone?''
34959	''And if you could not touch my face with your hands, nor kiss me with your lips?''
34959	''And if you do not believe me, how shall others do so?''
34959	''And if you have heard it do you believe it?''
34959	''And if you were deaf?''
34959	''And what are these lies of which you speak?''
34959	''And what do you desire of his majesty?
34959	''And what if I refuse even to consider your proposal?''
34959	''And where are the treasures of Riad?''
34959	''And which is greater, the happiness of many or the happiness of one?''
34959	''And who is this Khaled whom you praise?''
34959	''And why not all that you feel?''
34959	''And will you dry up the well from which the tree draws life, and take away the corner- stone of the tower''s foundation?''
34959	''Another husband?''
34959	''Are such mares bred in the Red Desert?''
34959	''Are there no old men and boys in Riad to bind the sheaves you have mown?''
34959	''Are you also heavy at heart to- night?''
34959	''Are you better than we?''
34959	''Are you not Aziz whom I was about to take for my fourth wife on account of your red hair?
34959	''Are you not afraid, Zehowah?''
34959	''Are you not the palm tree in my plain, and a tower of refuge for my people?''
34959	''Are you truly glad?''
34959	''Are you weary?
34959	''Ass of Egypt,''replied the Sheikh reprovingly,''do pilgrims ride at a full gallop upon steeds of pure blood?
34959	''But did I say that I had heard of him as already married to Zehowah?''
34959	''But have I asked for an offering of blood, or a marriage dower of dead bodies?''
34959	''But how am I to know what that is?''
34959	''But how shall I ride her without saddle or bridle?''
34959	''But the hand is like any other hand-- how can I tell whether it be strong?
34959	''But what shall we do with the woman?
34959	''Can I answer that I do all this in order to see whether Zehowah is jealous?
34959	''Can I change my destiny?
34959	''Can you make gold grow in the purse of a beggar?
34959	''Can you say this,"My father was a dog and the son of dogs"?''
34959	''Could I love defeat?
34959	''Could any man sit thus, expecting death, and refusing to let any one stand by him to fight with him?
34959	''Did I not stand ten months and thirteen days in the third heaven, unconscious of the passing of time?
34959	''Did I not tell you to give him drink?''
34959	''Did I say so?
34959	''Did that please you?
34959	''Do I believe that the sun is black and the night as white as the sun?
34959	''Do I need the imaginary cosmetic you call love to smooth my wrinkles, to lighten my eyes, or to make my teeth white?''
34959	''Do I say to my eyes,"be dull"--or to my hand,"do not tremble"?''
34959	''Do you believe this of me, Zehowah?''
34959	''Do you call love a thought?
34959	''Do you see that stranger, holding a beautiful mare by the bridle?''
34959	''Do you still thirst for war, Khaled?''
34959	''Do you suppose that I wish to put any woman in your place?''
34959	''Do you think I am jealous of her now?''
34959	''Do you think that I believe this of you?''
34959	''Do you think that I have not heard what you have done?''
34959	''Do you think that love is nothing but a whim of the fancy?''
34959	''Do you think you can deceive me?
34959	''Do you understand what we have told you?''
34959	''Do you wish me to marry this man?''
34959	''Do you wish me to marry this man?''
34959	''Does a sound man need a horse to escape from cripples?''
34959	''Does it please you?''
34959	''Does the camel say to his driver:"I do not like to carry a load of barley, I would rather bear a basket of dates"?
34959	''Good reasons?
34959	''Has he not all that the heart of man can desire?''
34959	''Has he not scattered our enemies as the wind scatters the sand?
34959	''Has not Allah bound every man''s fate about his neck?
34959	''Has our lord chosen you for himself, that you will not let us come near him?''
34959	''Has this stranger enchanted your imagination?''
34959	''Have I done wisely in telling you?''
34959	''Have I not done deeds also?''
34959	''Have I not lately married the most beautiful woman in the world?''
34959	''Have I not married Zehowah?
34959	''Have I not treasures and garments enough and to spare, besides the spoil you have now brought home?
34959	''Have I seen you, or touched you, or heard your voice for these two months and a half?''
34959	''Have you ever seen such a woman?''
34959	''Have you ever seen such eyes?
34959	''Have you examined the dead man as minutely as you have observed the stars?''
34959	''Have you heard it also?''
34959	''Have you heard this tale?''
34959	''How camest thou hither?''
34959	''How can I tell what you are, if you will not tell me?
34959	''How can a man expect that a woman should love him, if he will not put his trust in her?''
34959	''How can you expect me to say that I love you, when you yourself are unable to answer such a simple question?''
34959	''How can you understand me if you do not love me?''
34959	''How could you marry a man who has no family and no inheritance?
34959	''How did he die?''
34959	''How is it possible that you should be of the black- eyed ones, when your eyes are blue?''
34959	''How many did you slay with your own hand?''
34959	''How often have I told you not to be so importunate?
34959	''How shall I take a woman who is perhaps a murderess?''
34959	''How then are you in danger?
34959	''How was it possible?
34959	''If it is all gold, what is the use of the passages?''
34959	''If not a thought, what then?
34959	''Is he not the Sultan?''
34959	''Is he not the sheikh of my tribe?
34959	''Is it charity to cause happiness?''
34959	''Is it for me to be pleased or displeased with the deeds of my lord and master?''
34959	''Is it for me to set myself up against the holy law?
34959	''Is it not easy for you to go secretly to his chamber and to give him as much gold as he needs?''
34959	''Is it not possible?''
34959	''Is it not so?''
34959	''Is it nothing to you, whether I take her or not?''
34959	''Is it possible that love is only a thought?''
34959	''Is it then not natural in a woman to love man?
34959	''Is it?
34959	''Is love a piece of gold, that it matters not whence it be, so long as a man has it in his own possession?
34959	''Is man a rock that he should never change?''
34959	''Is not this the woman of whom you spoke?''
34959	''Is she mine that you need ask me?
34959	''Is that love?''
34959	''Is the milk sour, because the slave has imagined a lie saying,"I will say it is bad and then it will be given to me to drink"?
34959	''Is there no mark of violence upon him, nor of poison, nor of strangling?''
34959	''Is there no woman among them all who can talk this woman''s language?''
34959	''Is this a time to go out into the northern desert?
34959	''Is this love, Zehowah?''
34959	''Is this the spirit befitting a wife?''
34959	''Is this, which you ask of me, something I can command at will, as I can a smile or a word?
34959	''It is the victory you love then-- not me?''
34959	''My life?
34959	''Not love?
34959	''O my brother,''the Bedouin began,''was not my mother the adopted daughter of your uncle, upon whom be peace?
34959	''Of what kind is her beauty?''
34959	''Of what use are you to me?
34959	''Of whom do you speak?''
34959	''Or has he but one eye with which to see but one kind of beauty?
34959	''Or have I spoken much, that you should reproach me?
34959	''Said I not truly that he is as brave as the lion, and as strong as the camel?''
34959	''Shall I be of the Hur al Oyun of whom you speak?''
34959	''Shall I give them presents because they have believed evil of me?''
34959	''Shall I now be one of the Hur al Oyun?''
34959	''Shall I take her who was perhaps the cause of your revered father''s death?
34959	''Shall a fox turn back a herd of hyà ¦ nas?''
34959	''Shall one man stop an army?''
34959	''Shall the blind sheep go out and fight the lion?''
34959	''Tell me, Zehowah, will you love me?''
34959	''The Sultan?''
34959	''The black or the gold?
34959	''The head of the Sultan of Shammar?''
34959	''Then how can you ask my wishes?''
34959	''Then it was for love of me, was it not?''
34959	''They did so, Abdullah,''''And they immediately went and took the gold and gave it to the guards?
34959	''Was ever a man, or an angel, so placed in the world as I am placed?''
34959	''What can I do?
34959	''What did you hear in Basrah?
34959	''What did you hear of him?''
34959	''What do I care for myself?''
34959	''What do you like best in the whole world?''
34959	''What else can it be?
34959	''What folly is this?''
34959	''What have I done?''
34959	''What injury can she do me?''
34959	''What is all the happiness of the world without love?''
34959	''What is gold that it should be weighed in the balance with the life of a man?
34959	''What is it to him, whether I go, or stay?''
34959	''What is it to you, whether I go, or stay?''
34959	''What is it you would have?''
34959	''What is it?
34959	''What is it?''
34959	''What is it?''
34959	''What is it?''
34959	''What is love?
34959	''What is love?''
34959	''What is that?''
34959	''What is the love of any other woman to me?
34959	''What is the name of the bay mare?''
34959	''What is this evil tale which you are telling me?''
34959	''What is this idle tale of Afrits?''
34959	''What is this lie?''
34959	''What is this message?''
34959	''What is this secret of yours?''
34959	''What is this?''
34959	''What is your name?''
34959	''What shall I give you?''
34959	''What should I do with the world?''
34959	''What then?''
34959	''When the smith has heated the iron in the forge, does he wait until it is cold before striking?''
34959	''Whence come you, my friend?''
34959	''Where is Abdullah?''
34959	''Where is this Abdullah?''
34959	''Which do you like best?''
34959	''Who has given you the right to kill my captives?''
34959	''Who has put these words into your mouth, Khaled?
34959	''Who has sent me this unbelieving woman to torture me with thirst?''
34959	''Who has told you the lie?''
34959	''Who has told you this lie?''
34959	''Who is she?''
34959	''Who is the Sultan now?''
34959	''Who shall deliver over the Bedouin to a white- faced people, who live on boiled chestnuts and ride astride of a camel?
34959	''Whom do you wish to kill?''
34959	''Why are my lord''s eyes like frozen pools by the Kura, and why is his forehead like Kasbek in a mist?''
34959	''Why did you hide yourself?''
34959	''Why did you kill him?
34959	''Why did you not keep the beautiful one for yourself?''
34959	''Why did you not remain too?''
34959	''Why do you not finish it?''
34959	''Why do you not then lie in wait for Abdullah yourself and slay him as he passes you in the dark?''
34959	''Why do you shed tears?''
34959	''Why do you sigh?''
34959	''Why do you wish me to kill you?''
34959	''Why do you wish to die?
34959	''Why is Almasta lamenting in this way?''
34959	''Why is it strange?''
34959	''Why is my lord displeased?''
34959	''Why not?
34959	''Why not?''
34959	''Why should I love you then, more than now?
34959	''Why should you fight for me, since you do not love me?
34959	''Why should you stay here?''
34959	''Will nothing but war please you?
34959	''Will you convict her without witnesses?
34959	''Will you drink again?
34959	''Will you go out in the heat of the day, wounded and wearied?''
34959	''Will you love me better if I stay?''
34959	''Will you not let me stay with you now?''
34959	''Will you sing to me again, Zehowah?''
34959	''Will you tell me how to kill a man and leave no trace?''
34959	''With you?''
34959	''Would it be nothing to you, if I took her?''
34959	''Would this not be a murder?''
34959	''Would you have him whom you love sit still in the net until the hunters come to catch him?''
34959	''You?''
34959	A net with which to draw wealth and fame from the waters of life?
34959	A precious stone that you can fasten in your turban?
34959	A rich carpet to spread in your house?
34959	A treasure of gold, a mountain of ambergris, a bushel of pearls from Oman?
34959	Again, I ask, what is it to you whether I love you or not?
34959	Am I not beautiful enough?
34959	Am I not your wife, and are you not my master?
34959	Am I not your wife, and faithful?
34959	Am I not your wife?''
34959	Am I old?''
34959	Am I unlike all the rest?''
34959	And as for Zehowah, thinkest thou that she would have loved thee, even if she had married thee?
34959	And can a man cast it from him?''
34959	And has he restored the dowry as the law commands?
34959	And have I not called you brother and filled your barley- sack from time to time these many years?''
34959	And have I the right to refuse to sacrifice my freedom when the sacrifice may be the means of converting an idolater to the right way?
34959	And how could you have done this thing unseen, since he was guarded by many attendants?''
34959	And how could you have heard of him there?''
34959	And how will it profit you to take my life or your own?''
34959	And what is a beautiful woman without love?
34959	And when a man has got a kingdom, why should he give it up to any one, except under force?''
34959	And where is your witness?
34959	And why do you command her to bring you drink and fan you when it is hot, and you sleep in the afternoon?
34959	And why is he dressed like a man of the city?''
34959	And why should this woman not love me?
34959	And will the next Sultan scatter gold in the streets as Khaled did on the first day when he rode to the mosque?
34959	And you?''
34959	Are not all women the children of one mother?''
34959	Are there any among the captives who are beautiful?''
34959	Are there no strange rumours afloat of late concerning Khaled the Sultan?''
34959	Are they not like twin heavens of a deep blue, each having a shining sun in the midst?
34959	Are those the words?''
34959	Are you full of bitterness, because I do not love you?
34959	Are you not my lord to whom I am subject?''
34959	Are you not yet satisfied?
34959	Are you tired with the feasting?
34959	But if not, why do you expect of me what I can not do?
34959	But if not, why should I labour to amuse you, as though I were a slave?
34959	But if this be true, where are the men that came with him?
34959	But in the name of Allah, which are the foxes?''
34959	But now, who shall tell us what share of the riches he is hiding away in the more secret vaults?''
34959	But tell me first, what is the news in the city?
34959	But what is this tale which you have invented?''
34959	But what is this talk of love?
34959	But where are the treasures you have brought back, the slaves and the rich spoils?
34959	But where is the angel?
34959	Can a camel gallop like a horse, or a horse trot like a camel, or bear great burdens through the desert?
34959	Can another woman make me more or less beautiful?
34959	Can you draw the string?
34959	Can you strike with it?
34959	Could a man be of the desert, they asked, and yet not be known by name in any of the tribes, nor his father before him?
34959	Did not the physician explain the reason of the death, and did he suspect that there was anything unnatural about it?
34959	Do I speak wisdom or folly?''
34959	Do you imagine, because I have answered you and talked with you to- day, and listened to your arguments, that I do not understand your heart?
34959	Do you not believe me?
34959	Do you think that all women love their husbands in this way you mean?
34959	Do you understand?
34959	Do you wish me to kill you that I may have peace from you?
34959	Does he need love, who is himself the master?''
34959	Does pity burn like fire?
34959	For if you could not see me, nor touch me, nor hear me, what would remain to you but an empty thought?''
34959	Had he not gone out for her into the raging heat of summer, and borne the burden of a great war, and destroyed a nation and taken a city?
34959	Has any man called him Khaled ibn Mohammed, or Khaled ibn Abdullah?
34959	Has she not given me herself, whom I desired, and a great kingdom which, indeed, I did not desire, but which no man can despise as a gift?
34959	Have I not given him wealth and power, and has he not with his own hand got the victory over his enemies and mine?
34959	Have I not given you a kingdom and treasure beyond counting?
34959	Have I not two hands, two feet, two ears, two nostrils and two eyes?''
34959	Have you brought me out into the desert to die of thirst like a lame camel?
34959	Have you heard no tales of love from the story- tellers of the harem?''
34959	Have you no other enemies for me to destroy, or have you no secret foe whose head would be a pleasant gift?''
34959	Have you not said that she is more beautiful than I?''
34959	How can I complain?
34959	How could I love you at all then?''
34959	How could the woman know the way to the treasure chambers and find it in the dark?
34959	How is it her business whether I love or not?''
34959	How then can I lay a hand on him?
34959	How then could news of Khaled have reached Basrah before you left that place?''
34959	How then is my advantage also yours?''
34959	If you can teach me, I will think what you will; but if you can not teach me, who shall?
34959	Is a man''s heart like his belly, which is alike satisfied with different kinds of food?''
34959	Is he a man of your tribe whose descent you can count upon your fingers, from him to his grandfather and to Ishmael and Abraham?
34959	Is it a rich garment that you can wear?
