35334And when he stepped forth out of the bird, his companions asked him,''Hast thou thoroughly accomplished all that thou didst desire?''

35334But he said,"Know ye not that the kings of the world are obedient to me, and under my authority, and that no one who is in it disobeyeth my command?"
35334But the Arschi said,''Who could have told you so?
35334But what good hast thou done in behalf of this snake, to render thee worthy of punishment?"
35334By what means am I to find them?"
35334Can not you fill the bag and bring it away?"
35334From whence have you arrived with so lovely an appearance?
35334Has anything then befallen the Chan''s son?''
35334Hast thou considered me a true friend unto thee when I am an enemy who rejoiceth in thy misfortune?
35334Have I not rendered thee a benefit?
35334How can it be proper for him that is wise to speak falsely?
35334How can it become an intelligent man to state an untruth?"
35334How could a large snake such as thou be contained in so small a space?"
35334How could he ascertain their exact number?
35334How far, then, art thou from profiting thyself, and how far am I from receiving thine advice?
35334How, then, dost thou hope, with thy little sense and thine ignorance, that I will deliver thee, when thou hast heard what rude language I used?
35334If I do what she requires of me, how do I know that there will be any left?''
35334If the Chan and the wife of the Chan remain, what need is there of their son?
35334Knowest thou not, O ignorant wolf, that the author of the proverb saith,''He who thinks not of results will not be secure from perils?''"
35334On hearing this, the man in the hayrick crept out as far as his breast, and when the people thronged around him and asked,''What hast thou learned?''
35334On my part there was faithfulness, Why then this injustice upon thine?"
35334She then said to him,"Seest thou not these servants and soldiers and wealth and treasures and hoards?"
35334So the wolf raised his head towards him, and said,"Is it from thy compassion for me that thou hast wept, O Abu- l- Hoseyn?"
35334So the wolf said to the fox,"What is the proof of that which thou hast declared?"
35334So the wolf said,"And what is thy proposal that I am to accept?"
35334So the young man wondered thereat, and asked,"How shall I return to my family?"
35334So the youth said to him,"O uncle, hast thou known me before now?"
35334The first man, therefore, said to the other,''Why hast thou not begun by curing thyself?''
35334The fox replied,"Thou seemest an intelligent person, why then dost thou tell me an untruth?
35334The fox, putting on the garb of astonishment, said,"How can I believe this thing?
35334The man cried out,"But how is this?
35334The old dame''s cat requested to know what rich meat was, and what taste wheat- cakes had?
35334The son of the Chan replied to these inquiries of the maiden,''Do you not know that they are now celebrating the feast of my funeral?''
35334The women replied,''What have ye to give in exchange for strong liquor?''
35334The youth asked,"And what is it, O uncle?"
35334Then said her husband,''Where is my birdhouse?''
35334Then spake the Chan, full of joy, to the magician,''How can I reward you for the great deed that thou hast done?''
35334Then they betook themselves to their house, and at night- time the wife of the magician asked him,''How camest thou to be presented with such gifts?''
35334They proceeded together to the tree; and the snake, opening its mouth, said,"O tree, what is the recompense for good?"
35334This bag I could hardly manage when empty; when full, it would require twenty strong men to carry it; what shall I do?
35334This feast would last for a week or more; and while enjoying it she was wo nt to exclaim--"Am I, O God, when I contemplate this, in a dream or awake?
35334This horseman said to him,"Who brought you, O young man, unto this place?"
35334Thus thinking to himself, the elder called out to the magicians,"Saw ye ever a horse like unto this?
35334Thus thinking, the Baktschi said,"Wherefore, O dove, fliest thou hither in such alarm?"
35334What can a woman do without these two things?
35334What could poor Ahmed do?
35334What form shall I assume?"

35334What thinkest thou of him?''
35334When his wife returned and saw the bladder of butter upon the shelf, she asked,''Where found you this bladder of butter?''
35334When the sun bowed down towards the west the bird returned home, and said to his wife,''What, art thou already returned?''
35334When they came up to the cow, the snake, opening its mouth, said,"O cow, what is the recompense for benefits received?"
35334Whence come you?''
35334Where have you acquired such a comeliness?
35334Where, then, has my young brother found so beautiful a horse?
35334Wherefore, then, should I not aid in thy destruction when thou art of the associates of the devil?
35334Why, then, is such to be my recompense?
35334Wilt thou be our wife?
35334and how came you by that glorious strength?"
35334and how can I refuse to ride thereon?"
35334and night after night, without ever once being mistaken?
35334and what have they done with my gold and jewels?"
35334are we not linked in the ties of kindred?
35334bethought the Baktschi to himself,"that this dove has fled hither pursued by seven hawks?"
35334cried the Chan,''art thou returned from the kingdom of the Tângâri?''
35334exclaimed she;''was I not this night with my father and mother-- and did I not retire to sleep on a bed of silk?''
35334friend Ahmed,"said one,"have you worked till your head is turned?"
35334has a woman given birth to a son in the stable of the elephants?
35334he exclaimed,''art thou indeed the son of Arschi?''
35334how is it that thou hopest to effect my safety and thine own, that thou askest me to give thee a delay?
35334shall this maiden be devoted to a spiritual or worldly life?
35334she exclaimed,"have I not the sacred claims of a neighbour upon you?
35334that thou knowest not a stratagem by means of which to save thyself from destruction?
35334was there ever such a man?''
35334what success?"
35334wherefore didst thou rejoice in my misfortune?
35334who, indeed, would dwell with an old Arschi?''
12410How, then,quoth the king''s son,"do all men die?"
12410''Are there,''said the prince,''many such beings in the world?''

32977Not good for me?
32977Now do you see?
32977Now if they do this in the capital, what damage must they not do to the crops in the district?
32977Now this was rude, because the ordinary form of salutation on the Road is usually"And what are you for?"
32977Of all the disgusting, inaccessible dens-- Holy Cupid, what''s this?"
32977Once more, can anything be done to a people without nerves as without digestion, and, if reports speak truly, without morals?
32977Or did she, with the others of the batch, give a spinsters''ball as a last trial-- following the custom of the country?
32977Or if you claim from him overtime service as a right, will he work zealously?
32977Other men have told you that, have they?
32977Our punishments?
32977Politics in America?
32977S''pose I write fifteen hundred?"
32977Savvy these things?
32977Sha n''t I, Blake?"
32977Shameful extravagance?
32977Somebody opened a door with a crash, and a man cried out:"Who is there?"
32977Sounds funny, does n''t it?
32977Suppose I give an itinerary of what we saw?"
32977Suppose the drawing- room should be full of people,--suppose a baby were sick, how was I to explain that I only wanted to shake hands with him?
32977That goes well, even after all these years, does it not?
32977The first question that a Japanese on the railway asks an Englishman is:"Have you got the English translation of our Constitution?"
32977Their hands are full of work; so full that, when the incult wanderer said:"What do you find to do?"
32977Then I am compelled to believe that the public educate the paper?
32977Then said he:"Are you going to get out your letters,--your letters of naturalisation?"
32977Then the burly Superintendent brings his hand down on his thigh with a crack like a pistol- shot and shouts:"How do, John?"
32977Then turning upon the Englishman, he said fiercely:"What have you come here for?"
32977There is a certain amount of personal violence in and about the State, or else where would be the good of the weapons?
32977This morning she advanced to me and said, as though it were the most natural thing in the world:"Shall I take away your tea- cup, sir?"
32977This sounds mad, does n''t it?
32977This, by the way, demoralises the Globe- trotter, whose first cry is,"Where can we get horses?
32977Under what new god, thought I, are we irrepressible English sitting now?
32977Was I a fool?
32977Was it not De Quincey that had a horror of the Chinese-- of their inhumaneness and their inscrutability?
32977Was n''t that the place where I got the good cigars?"
32977Was the city grateful?
32977We could turn out more?
32977We stumbled upon a young couple saying good- by in the twilight, and"When shall I see you again?"
32977Were canals made only to wash in?"
32977Were their forest officers trained at Nancy, or are they local products?
32977What am I now?
32977What am I to do with a people like this?"
32977What are their pleasures and diversions?
32977What can be extracted from a people who call four miles variously_ do kosh_,_ do kush_,_ dhi hkas_,_ doo- a koth_, and_ diakast_ all one word?
32977What can one do?
32977What can we do?"
32977What comes to them in the end?
32977What could the Englishman do?
32977What country is such a fool?
32977What d''you think of that?"
32977What did tables and chairs and eggs and fowls and very bright lamps matter to the Raj?
32977What do you choose to do with my gift?"
32977What do you make it by Indian standards?
32977What do you think of him?"
32977What do_ you_ think?
32977What does it matter to the Down- Easter who Wrap- up- his- Tail was?"
32977What happens, I wonder, when the pick strikes the liquid, and the miner has to run or be parboiled?
32977What have you seen?"
32977What is a wheel?"
32977What is it?"
32977What made this yellow image of a shopman here take delight in a dwarf orange tree in a turquoise blue pot?"
32977What man do you think would dare to use a pistol at even thirty yards, if his life depended oh it?
32977What may these things mean?
32977What shall we say to such a_ bunnia_?
32977What should we do without the cowboy?"
32977What the Devil have I to do with your horses?
32977What then?''
32977What was that now?"
32977What was the use?
32977What were they going to do with the Chinese decoration all over Penang?
32977What will the American do with the negro?
32977What would happen if one spoke to this Bobby?
32977What would happen if the train went off the line?
32977What would you have?
32977What''s here?"
32977What''s that you say about polygamy?
32977What''s the President to you on this day of all others?
32977What''s the best with you?"
32977What''s the use of talking?"
32977What''s the use?"
32977Where are the men who used''em?
32977Where can a man get food?
32977Where can we get elephants?
32977Where is his_ pensin_?
32977Where is the fowl- man from whom you got the eggs?"
32977Where would_ you_ be?"
32977Where''s that Emporium?
32977Where, oh where, in all this wilderness of life shall a man go?
32977Where_ is_ the Park Street Cemetery?
32977Whereunto all this lecture?
32977Who are you, and what are you in for?"
32977Who is the man to write to for all these things?"
32977Who knows her?"
32977Who knows?
32977Who takes count of the prejudices which we absorb through the skin by way of our surroundings?
32977Why did n''t they call her Mechlin lace Falls at fifty dollars a yard while they were at it?"
32977Why do n''t they make a row and sing and shout, and so on?"
32977Why does the Westerner spit?
32977Why is it that when one views for the first time any of the wonders of the earth a bystander always strikes in with,"You should see it, etc."?
32977Why not, the trams aiding, go to the Old Park Street Cemetery?
32977Why should he trouble to climb up the bank and bring down the eave of the cave?
32977Why should n''t he?"
32977Why should not a baby enjoy himself if he liked?
32977Why would n''t the scheme work?
32977Why, asks a savage, let them vote at all?
32977Why- for are you such a horrible contradiction?"
32977Why?
32977Will a North countryman give you anything but warm hospitality for nothing?
32977Will any one take the contract?
32977Wo n''t he grow sensible some day and drop foreign habits?"
32977Would I play?
32977Would he be offended?
32977Would they try to wisely obliterate that?
32977Would we be pleased to inspect the manufactory?
32977Would you not rather take a cheroot and loaf about the streets seeing what was to be seen?
32977Would you taste one of the real pleasures of Life?
32977Would_ you_ have bothered your head about politics or temples?
32977You are very much in earnest about yours, are you not?"
32977You do n''t carry a pistol, Doctor?
32977You do n''t say so?
32977You have a Parliament, have you not?"
32977You have heaps of''em in India, have n''t you?"
32977You know how in Bengal to this day the child- wife is taught to curse her possible co- wife, ere yet she has gone to her husband''s house?
32977You never saw it in India?"
32977You onderstandt?
32977You see all those men turning brass and looking after the machinery?
32977You see?
32977You see?"
32977You trafel for pleasure?
32977You understand how very unpleasant it must have been, do you not?"
32977You understand that?
32977You would eat thatch, would you?
32977You''re looking at all those chopped rails?
32977You''ve never heard of the rice- Christians, have you?
32977You''ve read the_ Vicar of Wakefield_?"
32977Young man, whurr are those beavers?
32977Your Honour remembers me?
32977Your command here is for five years, is n''t it?"
32977_ Bus!_[17] Will the Sirdar take the tale of clay?
32977_ Does_ Calcutta smell so pestiferously after all?
32977_ Why_ is he like the Jap?"
32977and how can the side be bodily torn out of a ship?
32977at thirty- second intervals, and at the end of five minutes call one to another:"Sa- ay, do n''t you think it''s vurry much the same all along?"
32977how do you make room for the fresh stock?"
32977indeed that''s very sad; but look here, where do you say my rooms are?"
32977last?
32977meaning"what house do you represent?"
32977said I,"is it possible that you-- you-- speak that disgusting pidgin- talk to your_ nauker_?
32977what air you doing?''"
32977what sort of a row?"
26358''Are you mad?'' 26358 ''Madam,''said I,''since this censer belongs to you, I know where to place it; will you allow me to have it?''
26358''What has hurt your cheek?'' 26358 ''Whence come you, wicked young man?''
26358''Who is the proprietor of that censer?'' 26358 ''Why,''said my spouse,''do you leave your lute lying upon the ground?''
26358A man,says he,"who can not disengage himself from a fly, can he have power over the works of nature?"
26358Abosaber,would he say to him,"you appear to me to be still at the bottom of the well: when is your patience to raise you to the throne?"
26358Alas,said I,"nurse, what new evil has befallen me?
26358And by whom were you chiefly favoured?
26358And could not I,said the dervish,"learn from you your history, when you appear to be so well qualified for giving it?"
26358And how long,said Misnar,"doth this feast last?"
26358And how wilt thou prevail against Ahubal the Prince and Tasnar the magician?
26358And how, my kind governess,said Urad,"will those corns assist me?"
26358And may I not hope,continued the Sultan,"that it will please Him to release these my fellow- sufferers also?"
26358And were you in possession of that science?
26358And what dost thou want now?
26358And what will you do to get hold of her?
26358And what,interrupted Misnar,"is the cause of this change in favour of the Sultan?"
26358And what,said she,"must I do with the peppercorns?"
26358And what,said the Sultan,"has made thee thine own accuser, since the life you took was in your own defence?
26358And what,says she,"has the poor child done to you that you should treat her so roughly?"
26358And wherefore,said Misnar,"is this silence imposed?
26358And who is this young man?
26358And why should I not be kept in that character? 26358 Are my friends dead?"
26358Are not you,said he to him,"the confidant of Chamsada?"
26358Are you afflicted at the loss of your treasure? 26358 Are you ignorant that I have all power over the Prince whose daughter you are desirous to marry?
26358Are you no longer in favour with her?
26358Are you not satisfied with what you have read?
26358Are you not satisfied,said Misnar,"O ill- fated Horam, that you come to deceive me with new illusions?
26358Are you obliged to have recourse to such means?
26358Are you satisfied?
26358Are you truly she? 26358 Art thou not coming?"
26358Ay, true,answered two or three more,"we must look out a clever young fellow for Urad; whom shall she have?"
26358But how can we take our flight?
26358But how did he incur your indignation?
26358But how has this miraculous change been wrought?
26358But how will my lord discover him amidst three hundred thousand troops?
26358But how,said he,"am I to return, for I know not the way?"
26358But if our King is not a god,said they to him,"whom then are we to adore?"
26358But knowest thou not,said Horam,"that death will be the consequence of this rash deed?"
26358But surely,said Mesrour,"you are not kept here in confinement among the number of mad people?"
26358But what is the virtue of this talisman that you offer me?
26358But what precaution will you take to remove them with safety? 26358 But why this cruel reserve with me?"
26358But will your lord ever come again?
26358But, O Mahoud, suffer me, ere I declare my own grief, to ask what has become of the lovely Hemjunah, the Princess of Cassimir? 26358 But, madam,"answered I,"does the happiness of my father''s subjects require such a sacrifice in me?
26358But,said I, as I went along,"what am I about to do?
26358But,said he to the magician,"whither shall I bend my course?
26358But,said he, calling to mind the old woman''s words,"could I not have a dog to accompany me on the way?"
26358By what means is this tablet endued with these rare virtues?
26358Can I not have a few days granted me to think over the matter, and prepare for the sore trial?
26358Can any man on earth do this?
26358Can you imagine I could submit to the ideas that are given us of the Grand Lama? 26358 Death hath nothing dreadful to me,"replied he;"but can I remain insensible to the hardships of your lot?
26358Did she not assure me,said he,"that I should find water enough above me?
26358Did she not say,''If thou shouldst wish to see me, thou must seek me in the fatherland of the variegated butterflies?''
26358Did you foretell that I was to die by the hand of a robber?--you who threatened me only with dying by that of my son?
26358Did you not hear it?
26358Did you not, then,said Misnar,"hear the adventures of Hemjunah, the Princess of Cassimir?"
26358Do I awake, or do I feel the illusions of a dream?
26358Do you consider,said he to the old man,"of what consequence secrecy will be upon this occasion?"
26358Do you doubt the power of Mahomet?
26358Do you know the King?
26358Do you know,said one,"why the Prophet forbade his disciples to drink wine?"
26358Do you not know your lord,asked Jussuf, full of indignation,"that you thus oppose him?"
26358Do you really mean to say you are happy?
26358Do you wish to make me angry?
26358Dost thou see?
26358Eight hundred?
26358Enemy of our race,said they,"where is he who was to redeem our glory and to revenge our blood?
26358Go on, beauteous Damake,said Nourgehan, with tenderness;"if you love me, can you conceal anything from me?"
26358Hapacuson,said the fair one, addressing herself to the hag,"why wilt thou vainly brandish thy rebellious arms against the powers of Heaven?
26358Has your life returned to you?
26358Hast thou enough now?
26358Hast thou the wonder- stone from Mount Massis?
26358Hast thou, then, mighty enchanter,answered the Prince Ahubal,"the gods of Europe in thy power?"
26358Have I not riches enough in possessing thee?
26358Have not I,replied he,"excellent generals and good troops?
26358Have you ever heard of this unfortunate Naima before?
26358Have you quite forgotten me, that you have allowed so long a time to elapse without asking after me? 26358 Have you, base slave,"said the enchanter,"aught to reveal to us?
26358He causes the former King to be regretted, then?
26358His wife?
26358How can I but be surprised?
26358How could I remain a moment in doubt?
26358How could you know me,replied the dethroned Prince,"since shame and confusion obliged me to be silent?
26358How is Chamsada employed?
26358How now, Jussuf?
26358How shall I procure myself to be recognized as their lawful monarch?
26358How will you escape?
26358How, Hassan Assad, thou the guide that I was to find here?
26358How, O genius,said Urad,"for such I perceive thou art-- how is Urad guilty?
26358I do not remember his features,answered Misnar:"came he not to the council of our divan?"
26358I have heard of it,replied Jalaladdeen;"but in which direction am I to journey, in order to discover this wonder- stone?"
26358I obey,answered Jalaladdeen;"but suffer me before my departure to ask, Who are ye?"
26358I suppose,said Mesrour to him,"that you are entrusted with overseeing those who make a noise in the court?"
26358I ungrateful?
26358If you are Mahomet,said he to the old madman,"who has put you in a place like this?"
26358In how many ranks,said the Sultan,"is the army to be disposed?"
26358In what branch did you excel?
26358In your present condition? 26358 Inform me,"said the Sultan,"whom it is my happy fate to release from this wretched confinement?"
26358Is it by putting me to death that you would show your gratitude and repay my favours? 26358 Is it not,"asked Bennaskar,"O Mahoud, the full of the moon?"
26358Is it possible,said he,"that you whom my daughter loads with her kindness should be engaged in the intrigue of Halechalbe''s marriage?
26358Is it the prospect of death which terrifies you?
26358Is it thus with you?
26358Is not this a vision?
26358Is such a trifle,said I,"the test of friendship?
26358Is there deceit in Horam,said the Sultan,"that he cometh like a thief in the night?
26358Is this really the wonder- stone?
26358Is this the man pointed out by your god?
26358It is,replied I, with a smile;"but doth Bennaskar intend to change with that fluctuating planet?"
26358Look round you,said the crier;"is there none here that pleases you better?"
26358Mahoud, then,returned he,"is faithful?"
26358Mahoud,answered Bennaskar,"art thou faithful, and wilt thou ever remain faithful to thy friend?"
26358Most powerful magician,answered Ibrac,"what need is there of this deceit?
26358Mundian Oppu?
26358My dear Houadir,said Urad,"when shall I behold your proper shape?
26358My lord,answered I,"of what service can I be to you by such a compliance?
26358My slave,said Horam, as he saw the disguised enchanter,"hast thou succeeded?
26358No, no,said one of them, obstructing the way;"what business have you in?
26358Noble Emir,cried the youth,"I am rejoiced to see you-- tell me, how is Perizide?
26358Now, you will not wish to eat any of this enchanted melon?
26358Now,said Jussuf,"what news do you bring?"
26358Now,said she to him,"will you at last be wise, and give up this idleness?
26358O my Prince and master,answered Nemana, in great astonishment,"whom could I serve but your daughter, the Princess Zeraïde?"
26358O my children,said she,"where is the Vizier your father, to revenge me on the man who hath murdered my children?"
26358O son of Houadir, what hast thou done?
26358Of what use is our flight?
26358Oh, why did I neglect my father''s injunctions? 26358 On whose judgment could I better rely than on yours?"
26358Perhaps one of you has eaten it, not knowing that I picked it for myself?
26358Perhaps you could give ninety-- eighty-- seventy?
26358Perhaps,returned Nourgehan,"the difference of our religions is an obstacle to my happiness?"
26358Poor creature,said Haschem,"what is the matter?
26358Prudent Tasnar,said the Prince,"I admire thy foresight; but of what use is this murdered slave now to us?"
26358Queen,replied the slave,"I am willing to sacrifice my life for you: what do you require of me?"
26358Rise, faithful Horam,said the Sultan Misnar;"your plot is sufficiently unravelled; but why did you hide your intentions from your lord?"
26358Seven hundred?
26358Shall I tremble?
26358Shall we hear her?
26358She will speak, then?
26358Sire,replied the modest Aladin,"do the people look for an example of your justice?
26358That was a pomegranate and became wasps, and where are they now gone?
26358The age of thy friendship,said Bennaskar,"is a month, and wouldst thou be admitted in so short a time to all the secrets of my heart?
26358The night is dark and gloomy,said the Rabbi, coming to his casement,"and mine age is great: are there not younger men than I in Cairo?"
26358Then,answered I,"you doubt the faithfulness of Mahoud; else why may not I know the meaning of the wonders I have seen?"
26358Then,said he,"where is Mount Massis?
26358There are two pearls,said he to him,"but you ought to have ten: what have you done with the other eight?"
26358This is a severe task,said he;"is there no alternative, nor any method by which I may evade it?"
26358Thou wilt lead me to the object of my desires?
26358To save him?
26358To whom does this warehouse belong?
26358True,replied the genius;"but although you are weak, ought you therefore to be presumptuous?
26358Wait, wait,said the former;"who knows whether we shall ever see each other again?
26358Well, what has brought you into this situation?
26358Well, what of the melon? 26358 What are you doing here, young man?"
26358What are you doing?
26358What art thou?
26358What avails my fortunate shot?
26358What can I conclude from that?
26358What can be the cause of it?
26358What can you require further?
26358What can you wait for further to render me the happiest man upon earth?
26358What connection has his story with thy crime? 26358 What did she say?"
26358What do these words signify,cried he,"which are upon the standard?"
26358What dost thou see,said the Demon,"that makes thee look so eagerly?
26358What dost thou think of doing? 26358 What dreadful behaviour is this of yours?"
26358What enemies? 26358 What hast thou done, O Tasnar?"
26358What hast thou done, wretched Vizier?
26358What have you for a sign?
26358What hour of the night is it?
26358What image of deformity,said I,"must Mahoud wear?
26358What interest have you in this criminal?
26358What is it I go there to seek?
26358What is it? 26358 What is it?"
26358What is it?
26358What is that to thee?
26358What is that, O lady of beauty?
26358What is that?
26358What is the cause of this deadly feud?
26358What is the matter with you, Chamsada?
26358What is the matter with you, my son?
26358What is the matter?
26358What is the name of him who governs it?
26358What is there so much to be wondered at, and to stand with open mouth? 26358 What is this?"
26358What is your complaint?
26358What is your name?
26358What man?
26358What merchant do you mean?
26358What noise is that?
26358What of that?
26358What shall I owe the obligation to you of procuring me such treasures, shall you make my fortune, and do you think I shall be failing in my return? 26358 What strange things,"said Houadir,"has Urad to ask of the Sultan Almurah?"
26358What think you,said the Prince to the companions of his adventures,"of the story which has now been related?
26358What use would it have been to you not to have brought it to me?
26358What wonderful axe is this,said the Sultan,"that is thus preserved in the bowels of the earth?"
26358What, then,answered I, sternly,"has induced you to deceive my Court?"
26358What,answered the Sultan hastily,"were they?
26358What,said Bennaskar from the closet,"what doth Hemjunah now say to my desires?"
26358What,said I"Eloubrou, what dost thou say?
26358What,said I,"my lord, is the cause of your grief?
26358What,said Mussapulta, sternly,"dost thou refuse my proffered love?
26358What,said Urad,"brings back Lahnar to the sorrows of this cottage?"
26358Whence comes this noise?
26358Whence cometh Mahoud?
26358Whence, then, comes this monster of a melon?
26358Whence,exclaimed he,"is the power of this hideous old woman?
26358Where did that go?
26358Where have you been lingering so long to- day?
26358Where is Camul?
26358Where,said Nouri,"O afflicted stranger, is the pious young man that dutifully bore the burden of age on his shoulders?"
26358Where,said he to himself,"can the mighty find a trusty friend?
26358Whither shall I go?
26358Who are you, young man?
26358Who are you?
26358Who art thou,said Kifri, with the voice of thunder,"that fliest like the roebuck, and tremblest like the heart- stricken antelope?"
26358Who art thou?
26358Who is Camul? 26358 Who is this Abosaber?"
26358Who would do that? 26358 Why blushes, Urad?"
26358Why did the Governor of Dioul,resumed Nourgehan,"conceal from Diafer that Seidel- Beckir was the maker of that which he possessed?"
26358Why have you concealed from me the state of your heart?
26358Why have you concealed it from me, who loved you so dearly?
26358Why should we so soon leave these enchanting scenes?
26358Why should we,said he,"enter in uncertainty on either of those roads?
26358Why so?
26358Why was it,said he anxiously to himself,"that Haschanascha was to- day so mournful at parting?
26358Why would you prolong the strife and contest?
26358Why,said Urad,"didst thou bestow so many peppercorns upon me, as they now will become useless?"
26358Why,said the proud Vizier,"do you delay to obey me?"
26358Will you all believe,she called aloud to the spectators,"that I have done right in killing this snake, if I tell you what you will find within it?"
26358Without thee,said he,"could I never have obtained the object of my desires?
26358You come from Egypt,said the officer:"did you meet Prince Shaseliman?"
26358You could work miracles, then?
26358You have invited us here, and furnished your table most sumptuously; and are matters thus with you? 26358 You were in correspondence with the stars, then?"
26358Young man,said he,"why is a man so rational as you appear to be, to be found among mad people?"
26358''How could you let your worthy parents continue ignorant of what had become of you?''
26358''Need I inform you that the marriage follows the contract?
26358''O genius,''replied I,''how shall age and infirmity comply with thy commands?''
26358''What have I done?''
26358After she had thus shown him several times, she cried out, laughing mischievously,"Well, hast thou not yet observed why thou failest?
26358Against whom, O my brethren, is this array of battle?
26358Am I to be sacrificed this night to my father''s policy?
26358Am not I Bennaskar, the wealthy merchant of Delhi?
26358Am not I also the creature of Allah?
26358And Haschem repeated his question,"Do you feel strong enough?"
26358And I answered,"May Mahoud be the friend of thy bosom?"
26358And even if they had, how could I descend to the plain with such a beast, through the clefts in the rocks, from this height?"
26358And if the life even of these is to be spared, how could you imagine that you might dispose of your husband''s according to your pleasure and caprice?
26358And of what use have you been to me till to- day?
26358And shall I open you only when I have lost all hope to attain my desire?
26358And she turned to the King, and said,"My King and father, will you suffer yourself any longer to be deceived by these stupid and obstinate men?
26358And the Prince said to him,"Where hast thou found those ancient coins they speak of?"
26358And was I called forth to see only a passage made in the rocks, and the slaves of Horam as ill employed as their master lately has been?
26358And what glory is there not, even in pardoning an offence?
26358And what shall befall him that sweareth not unto you?
26358And what should he set about in that small town till, on the third day after the new moon, he should find his sign- post?
26358And who shall offend him who seeketh not to offend others?"
26358And would he revenge himself on them if they attempted his life?"
26358And, as Jussuf could not carry any more, he asked again,"Now hast thou not enough, at last?"
26358And, even if it were so, what can such a tiresome serious person be to you?
26358Are not these wise and sage magicians, then, a match for a boy''s prudence?
26358Are you a beggar, and do you need any gift?
26358Are you afraid that he will not accept the honour of our alliance?"
26358Are you alone obliged to acknowledge Him?"
26358Are you ill?"
26358Are you strong enough to support the highest joy that your heart can conceive and feel?"
26358Are you sure of yourself?
26358Are you the daughter of Seidel- Beckir, or are you an enchantress yourself?"
26358Are your courage and your zeal for the glory of the kingdom annihilated?
26358Are, then, the riches of Delhi to be so easily resigned, and your tedious marches over the deserts to be foiled by a moment''s fear?
26358Art thou gone so far as to play the hypocrite with thy old master?"
26358Art thou the departed shade of my once- loved Hemjunah?"
26358As he was preparing, he said,"The way up the rock and the oft- frequented path is dangerous; could I not get a travelling- staff to help me?"
26358Be not foolish: hast thou lost thine understanding?"
26358Believest thou that He has forgot to punish the fate of the learned Egyptian, whom thy avarice put to death, contrary to the most sacred oaths?"
26358Besides, what is an earthly sovereignty, subjected to so much labour and exposed to so many dangers, compared to that which you enjoy?
26358But Haschem laughed, and said,"Forgive my ignorance: what is Mundiana?"
26358But Jussuf shook his head thoughtfully, and said,"What shall I do?
26358But Nourgehan, at the entreaty of Damake, having commanded them to continue the conference, one of them demanded,"What is heavier than a mountain?"
26358But can ambition ever be satisfied?
26358But can man, who is bound to the service of Allah by an unalterable law, dispose of himself against the will of his Maker?
26358But can robbers be sheltered in this land?"
26358But he soon continued, with collected courage,"Yet of what use are all the goods of the earth to me?
26358But how could she remove them?
26358But if virtue, pursued by a superior force, is so often deserted, where are the resources of guilt?
26358But in what manner can my slaves have subsisted whilst I have kept them enclosed there?
26358But inform me, O ye sages, under the semblance of which of your brethren did that foul enchanter gain admittance here?"
26358But of what use is this one which the beauteous Damake has presented to me?"
26358But people wondered, and said,"Is not this the man who was called Rabbi Jochonan the Miser?
26358But she answered,"What is there to be wondered at?
26358But she laughed, and said,"Are you not already betrothed to Haschanascha?
26358But speak, what is the cause of your sorrow and your tears?"
26358But suppose ye that the conquerors will give up the treasures they hope to earn by their blood?
26358But tell me, I pray, how is that beautiful animal I used to ride with so much pleasure?"
26358But tell me-- how is it possible?
26358But what could I do in my cage?
26358But what have you done with your turban?
26358But what is this dreadful trial that obliges Bennaskar to suspect his friend?"
26358But what motives determined you to conceal your birth?
26358But what naturalist could name it from this imperfect description, without having seen the butterfly?"
26358But while the presumptive heir of the Persian throne was reduced to such a strange situation, how was Queen Chamsada employed?
26358But why did the distrustful Urad despair, or why did she accuse Providence of deserting her?
26358But why should I be surprised at her weakness, who am myself the object of their malice?
26358But why should I doubt thee?
26358But why should he order us to shun it?
26358But, had I been only a common man, after speaking to you in so modest and friendly a manner, ought you to have threatened me with death?"
26358But,"continued she,"why should I not examine the enchanter, who perhaps is yet immovable in the cottage?
26358By what right do you pretend to it?
26358Can I expect, therefore, that time should spare me?
26358Can I not inform him that my life depends upon his?
26358Can I think calmly upon the loss which the sorrowful Chamsada will suffer?"
26358Can he call back the brave men he has caused to be destroyed, and give life and spirits and joy again to the widows and orphans of India?
26358Can he who has refused silver and gold and diamonds be moved by a paltry bunch of rusty iron?"
26358Can he, who is the tenderest, the best of friends, be also the vilest and most cruel of mankind?
26358Can there be any happy talisman in love but the heart?"
26358Can we believe that a man is immortal?
26358Can you tell me why this street is so quiet, as though every inhabitant were dead?"
26358Can you think of sacrificing your liberty?''
26358Canst thou be such a stranger in the country as to be ignorant of the prediction of the prophet and the astrologers?
26358Come, will you give me your talisman?
26358Come,"continued she, quickly changing to a quieter and more mischievous manner,"Dost thou see those figs hanging on the branch over the way?
26358Consider how have your days been employed since I left you?
26358Could one regain confidence who has not known how to deserve it by a sincere and timely confession?
26358Could this only have been a shade of the dead one?
26358Could you read upon my forehead a character which the justice of Heaven had effaced?
26358Dakianos answered him,"Who will believe that I am so?"
26358Dakianos being informed of it, sent for them into his presence, and said to them,"Do you adore another God beside me?"
26358Dakianos, surprised with this discourse, answered,"How can it be as you say?
26358Darest thou enter into my womens''apartment, wretch that thou art?
26358Did you think I did not know it?
26358Do I really see you at last?"
26358Do you consider her as a creature like yourself?
26358Do you fear nothing from your own indiscretion?"
26358Do you know, then, what has become of this unfortunate Prince?
26358Do you not recollect the fig that we ate together?
26358Do you take me, then, for a strange outlandish animal, that you lead me about in a cage as a sight?"
26358Do you think me wiser than others?
26358Does fate, then, pursue this monarch even beyond the grave?
26358Does it become thee to search into the secrets of Providence?
26358Does not the law require that every accuser or deponent should have been a witness of the crime?
26358Dost not thou remember, Horam, the story of Mahoud, the son of the jeweller?
26358Dost thou hear?
26358For the first time, as he lay quietly in bed, he asked himself this question:"What shall I do with thee?"
26358For what crime have you been already condemned to lose an ear?"
26358Furious against Casem( for who did not know Casem''s pantofles?
26358Go under a roof-- sit to table with you to partake of meats prepared from the flesh of animals and the flour of wheat?
26358Halechalbe,''continued she,''is very amiable; he undoubtedly loves you, and who would not?
26358Has she shaken off her dependence on Mahomet, and indulged the unavailing sorrows of her heart?"
26358Hast thou at last been able to spare an hour from thy business to pay a visit to the old Modibjah?
26358Have you continued to watch the labours of the silk- worm?
26358Have you ever played with her an hour so merrily as we have played the whole day?
26358Have you repeated the lessons I gave you?
26358Having set out from the city of Issessara, how could they come back so soon from Babylon?
26358He afterwards turned himself towards Jemlikha, and said to him,"How can this house belong to you?
26358He placed himself in the midst, and cried with great earnestness,"Who dares here to usurp Jussuf''s place?
26358He saluted them all very politely, and said very affably to the old man,"This house, I believe, belongs to me; why do I find you here?
26358He that disguises his countenance, how shall one put faith in his words?''"
26358He therefore turned to him, and said,"Forgive me, sir, my curiosity, and tell me if you knew Jussuf''s servant who brought the box?"
26358He would have rubbed the beautiful dust off my wings; and then, what would have become of my beauty?
26358How are wasps and pomegranates generally produced in this world?
26358How can I be the god of the earth?"
26358How can I reconcile these inconsistencies?
26358How can that be?"
26358How could he discern if they were both equally so?
26358How could he know which of the two he ought to spare?
26358How could he strike two objects who were so dear to him?
26358How could you make him known?"
26358How did it acquire this extraordinary name?"
26358How did you fall into the hands of the caravan?"
26358How did you learn to break my charm in this manner?
26358How have you existed?
26358How is it possible that a cypress- tree should bear such beautiful blossoms?"
26358How often did he reproach himself with not having carried it with him?
26358How should he take vengeance on the guilty?
26358How was it possible that lovely being should be betrayed into the powers of those wicked enchanters?
26358How, then, did Urad keep to the instructions of Houadir?"
26358How, then, do you know he is the right one?"
26358How, then, shall we pay honour to Allah, if we neglect and desert the peculiar duties of that post wherein Allah hath placed us?
26358How, young man, have you guessed the cause which made me travel from Egypt into Persia?
26358How?
26358I could explain to you all these mysteries; but to what purpose?
26358I have never been an infidel; how can I then be a reprobate?"
26358I was about to tell her of the pieces of glass, but she interrupted me with asking,''whence I got the censer which I held in my hand?''
26358If the decree which strikes me comes not from Heaven, what could all your attempts avail?
26358If the exterior of the building delighted him, how much more was he pleased with its interior?
26358Is King Balavan, your Sovereign, still alive?"
26358Is it not true that you have given it me?"
26358Is it our own blood that must be poured forth over these lands to enrich them for a stranger''s benefit?
26358Is it possible that you live?
26358Is it to abuse me that thou feignest this distraction?
26358Is it worth while to make such a fuss about a miserable fragment of stone?"
26358Is no one here who could bring me a refreshing drink?"
26358Is not Haschanascha the magic word which has led me here alone, away from all men who understand my language and share my anxieties?"
26358Is not mine at your disposal?"
26358Is not that the name of her whom I was to call in the ruins of the destroyed capital?
26358Is not the mind of man free?
26358Is she gone to seek her disobedient daughter over the burning lake?"
26358Is there any that could destroy an attested fact?
26358Is there no way to build up the seat of justice and mercy but in murder and fratricide?
26358Is this like the rest of your promises?
26358Is this the way to greet your frolicking playmate?
26358It rejoices my very heart to see you come home sound and well again; but what is it you want with the water- jug?"
26358Jalaladdeen took it, and intimated his readiness to undertake the mission, at the same time asking,"What is my duty?"
26358Jemlikha, ashamed of speaking to him so inadvertently, quitted him, saying within himself,"Most high Allah, have you deprived me of reason?"
26358Jussuf remained irresolute, and looked after her; then she stopped her pace, and called back to him,"Art thou transformed into a statue?
26358Knowest thou not that the Sultan Misnar suffered with you because he despaired?
26358Leaping also nearer to Jussuf, it sang in a higher but equally buzzing tone:"Mark me well: oh, what can be Direful wasps but plagues to thee?
26358Leave me, Mahoud, leave me; nay, if thou departest, where shall I find thy fellow?
26358May I not be permitted to pass the night here?"
26358Men slander him; but the moon rises in heaven, and who will then believe that there is darkness?''"
26358Modibjah also here?"
26358Must I live in a country to whose language and manners I am a stranger?
26358My trouble will be lost; yet what do I risk by awaking this young man, and inquiring concerning the person of whom I am in search?
26358Nevertheless, he was tormented by a new uneasiness: the presence of his son recalled to him his brother--"What is become of him?"
26358Now for the proof: what word will your lips breathe on this talisman?"
26358O Allah, wherefore hast Thou made the weakest the most subject to deceit?"
26358Of what avail is it that these walls are built of precious stones?
26358Of what chapter in my book do you wish to understand the text or the explanation?"
26358On his entry he was met by a man, who took his lance from him and said,"Hast thou done thy duty?"
26358Or can you tell me how it is that grass comes up and grows out of a grain of seed?
26358Or shall I basely betray that love which is proffered me, and embitter fair Noradin''s future cup of life?
26358Perhaps it is beginning to decay, or is it not good for anything?
26358Perhaps you think I am too dear?
26358Say, then, what course shall Misnar pursue that may secure him on the throne of the mighty Dabulcombar?"
26358Say, then, what doth the peace and security of my throne require from me concerning my brother Ahubal, the issue of the mighty Dabulcombar?"
26358Sensible am I that the dangers of my pilgrimage are great; but what resource have I left?
26358Shall I allow myself to be bound for life by the speaking of a hoary imam?
26358Shall I not call her if the spark in Modibjah''s talisman no longer shines?
26358Shall I reap at length the fruit of my anxiety and labours?
26358Shall I, to the end of my days, remain in her trammels?
26358Shall not Mahoud share alike with you the smiles and the frowns of Allah?"
26358She approached him, patted his cheek with her left hand, and holding out the talisman with her right, said smiling,"Does it belong to me?
26358She looked at him with a scornful laugh, and said,"I?
26358Should an unfortunate and suppliant King be treated with so much rigour?
26358Should not the younger be as servant to the first- born of his father, and are not all the Princes the vassals of the Sultans of the East?
26358Since you are able to render yourself invisible, why can not you enter the Sultan''s palace unseen, and stab him to the heart?"
26358So surprised and astonished was he, that he seized the bow, drew an arrow from the quiver, and asked,"What is my duty?
26358Surely,"continued the Sultan,"this our companion, whom you called Princess, can not be the daughter of Zebenezer, the Sultan of Cassimir?"
26358Tell me all, and hide nothing from me; and first let me know frankly who you are?"
26358The King said to him,"Thou seemest to have sense; thy countenance is agreeable, and thy manner composed: how can thy speech be so unreasonable?
26358The King then said,"Who are you?
26358The Princess?
26358The baker answered him with the most eager curiosity,"Where hast thou found this money?"
26358The black negress?
26358The man whom you threaten with death alone escaped from perishing in the waves, and must I this day be the witness of his death?
26358Then Keschetiouch said to them,"How have you found the way to a place where I never yet saw any mortal?
26358Then said he to himself,"What hope can I now have of attaining the end of my wishes?
26358Then she stopped, and asked,"Is this the reason of your earnestness?
26358Then she turned to the high priest, and asked,"Has your god shown you no sign by which you may know the man that ought to be sacrificed?"
26358Then the dervish got up, and turned round on one foot angrily, and exclaimed,"Thou shameful man, art thou insatiable?
26358Then the maiden approached him with ceaseless laughter, and said,"What has happened to thee, friend Jussuf?
26358Then the priests answered,"Do the people doubt of our god?
26358There they seated themselves, and Jussuf asked,"Why am I imprisoned?
26358These words embarrassed me, and, not daring to answer otherwise, I said,"Why doth my lord doubt the sincerity of my heart?"
26358Thinks he that my daughter is obliged to share his unsteady attachment?
26358Thou wert, then, pleased with it?"
26358To whom had I given my goods?
26358To whom, then, can I fly, but to the Prophet of the Faithful?
26358Upon this, one of the young men, who appeared to be the host, said,"Why do you not drink?"
26358Was it for thee, base coward, that Ollomand poured forth his unnumbered stores?
26358Was it worth while to wake me up about that?"
26358Was there one among you all who supported innocence?"
26358What ails you, my son?
26358What binds you to her?
26358What can I tell thee more?"
26358What can be concealed in it?
26358What can make thee imagine that I have found a treasure?"
26358What can you mean?
26358What canst thou reproach me with?"
26358What connection can it have with my bright and waggish playmate, who is only fit to be a daughter of the genii?"
26358What do you, then, mean?"
26358What enemy dost thou mean?
26358What hath made the change?"
26358What have you done with them?
26358What help would a whole army of the most faithful and the boldest companions be to me?
26358What is become of them?"
26358What is snow but water?
26358What is the reason that I am held up in this scandalous manner as a show, and shut up in a cage like a wild beast?"
26358What is the reason that we are summoned from the recesses of the temple, and must even bring the divine snake in its chest with us?"
26358What is this tree?
26358What may all this mean?
26358What must I say?
26358What new device has Misnar practised against them?
26358What secret grief consumes you?
26358What shall I do?"
26358What shall I say?
26358What succours could he find in so barren a desert as that with which it was surrounded?
26358What thoughts are now passing through your head?"
26358What wants there more?
26358What worse can happen than my marriage with a stranger?"
26358What would my master say if I took anything from a poor devil like you?
26358What, then, is he who wantons in the death of those who advantage him not?
26358What, then, is the pride of man but deceit, and the glories of the earth but shadows?
26358What, then, must you think of those mean wretches who cajole you under the appearance of affection, and yet tell you that it was only to try you?
26358When he had said some words to her, she asked Jussuf,"My King and foster- father asks who taught you the name Haschanascha?"
26358When shall I see you as my tutelary genius?"
26358When she had finished her song, she bowed before Jussuf in a mocking mood, and said,"How does that please you, Jussuf?
26358Whence have you drawn those numerous maxims and judicious reflections which can only be the fruit of experience and study?"
26358Where are my slaves?
26358Where are the guards of the seraglio?"
26358Where could I find duties so pleasant to fulfil?"
26358Where could I find him?"
26358Where is Ahubal, of whom the dark saying went forth, that none but our race could overpower him?
26358Where is Picksag, the chief of my eunuchs?
26358Where is my kingdom?
26358Where is my royal father Zebenezer, and the fond Chederazade, the mother of my heart?"
26358Where is the impostor?
26358Where is the impostor?
26358Where, then, is the much- honoured Chederazade?
26358Whither can I fly for comfort?
26358Whither shall guilt flee when Heaven pursues it?--when the Divine vengeance arises from the earth to strike?"
26358Who are you who can promise this?"
26358Who are you?"
26358Who art thou, bold man, that durst stand before the Princess of Cassimir?
26358Who art thou, woman, that speakest to me thus?"
26358Who bid you destroy the cage?"
26358Who could inform you of it?
26358Who dare say aught against my fame?
26358Who dares here to pass for Jussuf''s wife?
26358Who hath reduced you to the distressed situation in which I see you?"
26358Who is the person in that litter, and whither are you conducting it?"
26358Who is the woman you have given him for a wife?"
26358Who knows but we may sleep to- morrow night in this pavilion which now causes uneasiness?"
26358Who knows how many brothers may be dwelling here together?
26358Who knows what is hidden in it?"
26358Who would ask such a thing?
26358Who would make such a commotion about a merry game?
26358Whoever, like Damake, joined such merit to so much beauty?
26358Why are they not veiled deeply over the eyes?
26358Why can she fear that I should ever allow Modibjah''s talisman to get into a stranger''s hands when I always wear it?"
26358Why court they destruction in gazing upon his beauty?
26358Why dost thou gaze upon thy turban with such anxious attention?
26358Why dost thou not sing my little song when thou throwest up the garland?
26358Why have you wrought none?"
26358Why should not my Lord Jussuf have a wife?
26358Will he love thee better than the apple of his eye?''"
26358Will you give nine hundred ducats for me?"
26358Wilt thou not return to the town, and unload thyself of thy treasures?"
26358Without the accident of the serpent, of which any other man would have made the same use, what would have become of him?
26358Would it be indiscreet in us, should we beg of you to give us some account of your history?"
26358Would your god know its enemies if there were any such here?
26358Yet, notwithstanding this, what am I in the eyes of an animal whom God protects?
26358You say the enchanter brings his hateful son with him: why, then, have I never seen him?"
26358Your subjects are devoted to your interest, and where would he find any who would be foolish enough to cherish ambitious designs against you?"
26358and am I brought here to be again deceived?"
26358and am I to carry it in a simple wicker basket?"
26358and canst thou go forth and combat the enchantments of Tasnar, the enemy of thy master''s peace?"
26358and even if I succeed in reaching it, how shall I discover the wonder- stone?"
26358and in the midst of conquest and acclamation, who regardeth the tears and afflictions of those who have lost their friends in the public service?"
26358and is Tasnar, the foe of the Faithful, dead?"
26358and the third,"What is swifter than an arrow?"
26358and what axe doth he bear in his hand?
26358and what business have you to do in it?"
26358and what mysterious place is this?"
26358and where are my accusers?
26358and where is it to be found?"
26358and whose blood seek ye to spill on the plains which our forefathers have cultivated?
26358and why not rather be thyself a sufferer than make an innocent virgin the subject of thy cruelties?
26358and yet shall I go upwards?
26358answered I,"shall I trust to a stranger, whom I know not, and fly from my father''s Court?
26358answered Misnar,"has the rebel army been foraging so near Delhi?"
26358answered the beautiful maiden,"art thou the vile Bennaskar, or the still more vile Mahoud?
26358answered the old woman,"and for what?"
26358are you disconsolate?"
26358asked Jussuf,"does the merchant Jussuf still live?"
26358asked she, jestingly:"if there be one such black creature more or less in the world, what consequence is it to you?
26358can he be alive after the dreadful news that are spread here concerning him?"
26358canst thou not run?
26358cried Jussuf,"shall I be offered to a snake-- to a stupid, superstitious fancy?"
26358cried Jussuf,"your lord already arrived?
26358cried he, at last awaking from his astonishment,"are you indeed she?
26358cried he,"weak worms, what have you presumed to do?
26358cried he:"is it so indeed?
26358cried she, returning his turban,"do you carry such things about with you?
26358darest thou blaspheme a God who has let thee live, notwithstanding the crimes that thou hast been guilty of?
26358dear uncle,"said she,"what sentiments will ever replace those whose sweetness I here experience?
26358do you acknowledge him for your ancestor?"
26358do you not distinguish in these characters the finger of God, and the inspiration of the angel Gabriel?
26358exclaimed Jalaladdeen, bitterly;"why should I thus exhaust my strength?
26358exclaimed Jalaladdeen;"wast thou that hideous old woman?
26358exclaimed the slave,"am I so happy as to hear Shaseliman mentioned?
26358exclaimed the young Halechalbe,"can I retain any resentment against the person who is dearer to me than life?
26358hast thou suffered thyself to be deceived, and to be made an advocate of the imposition?
26358he cried,"what have you done?"
26358how can I direct my steps to Egypt?
26358is it befitting for thee, so young as thou art, to stand there like an old idler?
26358is it possible that the Sultan of India and the Prince of Georgia should be one and the same?"
26358is it you?
26358is not this a snake?"
26358is not this street lonely enough, that you can not hold your discourse aloud?
26358is this thy gratitude for my favour?
26358knowest thou where thou hast been brought?"
26358must I be for ever banished?"
26358my good nurse, what explanation can I expect?
26358or are you sent as a spy to betray the counsels of the brave?"
26358or can the worm of the earth, the property of Heaven, set up itself against the hand that formed it?
26358or has the time of Urad been consumed in idleness and disobedience?
26358or how is it that a fig- tree can spring up from each little seed of the fig?
26358or was it she herself?
26358or what slave will be faithful to that master who has robbed him of his liberty?
26358rejoined the maiden;"where did it go?
26358replied the Prince in anger;"what caution should I observe with my slave?
26358said Ahubal, trembling:"by what misfortune am I bereaved of them?
26358said Bennaskar, as we met,"how can I request my friend to wear the image of deformity?"
26358said Eloubrou,"who shall tell the dismal tale to thy tender heart?"
26358said I,"is my beloved mother no more?
26358said I,"what service hast thou performed?
26358said Jalaladdeen to himself:"can they possibly have camels in this unfrequented place?
26358said Jalaladdeen to himself:"what shall I do with such an unclean animal?
26358said Jalaladdeen,"am I to enter that gloomy hole?"
26358said Misnar, transported, and yet at the same time recoiling with surprise,"is my faithful Horam also the unfortunate partner of my griefs?"
26358said Smaragdine,"and for what purpose have you come into my states?"
26358said Smaragdine,"and wherefore hast thou come into our states?".
26358said Urad to herself,"what will become of thee, inclosed in a forest through which thou knowest no path?
26358said Urad,"why has Houadir deceived me?
26358said a third,"do you wish us to take up the office of host in order to come to the same end at which you have arrived?"
26358said he to him,"dost thou not know Bohetzad?
26358said he to him,"how canst thou bear my sight, thou most ungrateful of mankind?"
26358said he to them,"what torments ought I not to make you suffer when you shall fall into my hands?
26358said he, in perfect astonishment;"would not any one believe that all those things were only a delusion of the mind?
26358said he,"Semà ¦ num?
26358said he,"can not a fortnight''s pleasure in this palace efface the remembrance of your sorrows?
26358said his friend;"do we not all know to what a termagant you are united?
26358said my father,''you are returned from Balsora?
26358said she in emotion,"what is it I behold?
26358said she to him,"what answer did you make to the King when he asked you who this young man was?"
26358said she;"art thou afraid of the water?"
26358said the King to him,"is it thus you acknowledge my favours and your obligations?
26358said the Princess,"I am now convinced of thy perfidy, allowing thine own account to be true; for what promise could bind thee to a cruel action?
26358said the Sultan to himself,"shall I, for the gratification of my passion, give up the glories of my father''s kingdom, and the viceregency of Mahomet?
26358said the Sultan, as he saw his Vizier enter with the female slave,"what new kind of warrior has Horam brought me?"
26358said the Sultan, astonished at his words;"whom hast thou slain, O wicked fakeer, that thine own fears should turn evidence against thee?"
26358said the Sultan, enraged,"hast thou brought me through the dangerous passes of the mountains by night only to cut a rope asunder?
26358said the Sultan, starting from his knees,"do I behold the unfortunate Princess of Cassimir?"
26358said the beautiful Urad,"what is this that I hear?"
26358said the young Sultan Misnar,"what do thy base suspicious fears advise?
26358said this barbarous King to him,"can patience then bring a man from the bottom of a well to a throne?
26358says he,"what do you here?"
26358says the old reprobate,"have I got you at last into my hands?
26358sent no messenger?"
26358shall I not fetch water from the depth, whence commonly springs and streams flow?
26358should not the relieved wait with patience on the hand that supports him, and not cry out with impatience, and charge its benefactor with neglect?"
26358that the plains of India were dyed with the blood of Desra, the mistress of our race?"
26358that this cage is of gold, and hangs on a golden chain?
26358that this lattice is of fine gold?
26358the other,"What is more cutting than a sabre?"
26358venerable old man,"returned Jemlikha,"how can I tell you of my adventure?
26358was this pretended treasure nothing but a slave?"
26358what can_ I_ effect against them, when these fall away before his victorious arm?"
26358what do you come to seek at a Court where you can find nothing but death?
26358what hast thou said?
26358what were four hundred guards and twenty mutes to the army that opposed us?
26358when one has so long wandered from truth, is it possible to return?
26358where art thou?
26358where is Mount Massis?
26358where is the Princess of Cassimir, and the man who revealed thy unrighteous actions?"
26358where my army?
26358where my royalty?
26358where the dear parent of my life?"
26358whispered she to the youth,"will you not buy me?"
26358who art thou?"
26358who is to relieve our distresses but Allah?"
26358would he say,"how were you so little intimidated by the death which threatened you as to recollect all the circumstances you related?
26358you have asked me reasonable and sensible questions, you have understood my answers, and can you imagine that you are asleep?"
26358you want to pay passage- money?
