13957	Far in advance of all, however, was my lord with a drawn sword in his hand, shouting,"Where is the wretch who has dishonoured my son, where is he?
13957	From what land but that before me could have proceeded those portentous beings who astounded the Old World and filled the New with horror and blood?
13957	Good are our horses, and good our riders, yea, very good are the Moslems at mounting the horse; who are like them?
13957	Had I not better become in reality what I had hitherto been merely playing at-- a tinker or a gypsy?
13957	He forthwith filled the glass, and pointing to its contents said:''There, your honour, did you ever see such ale?
13957	Here''s to Whiter''s health-- so you know nothing about the fight?''
13957	His dinner hour must be at hand; why are you not in the kitchen?''
13957	How did he stand?
13957	I do n''t know much of Slavonian; but--''''What is Slavonian, brother?''
13957	I mean to what religious denomination dost thou belong, my young friend?''
13957	I say, young man, will you warrant this horse?''
13957	I was living, it is true, not unpleasantly, enjoying the healthy air of heaven; but, upon the whole, was I not sadly misspending my time?
13957	I went up to the woman and said,''What is the cause of this?
13957	If beavers ever existed in Britain, and do not tradition and Giraldus say that they have, why should they not have existed in this pool?
13957	Is not the word a fitting brother of the Arabic timsah, denoting the dread horny lizard of the waters?
13957	It looked far off--''Shall I go and see what it is?''
13957	Lavengro"Is it a long time?"
13957	Lavengro"Will you take a glass of wine?"
13957	Life is very sweet, brother; who would wish to die?''
13957	Moreover, have we not the voice of tradition that the afanc was something monstrous?
13957	My whole frame was shaken, it is true; and during one long week I could hardly move foot or hand; but what of that?
13957	Now, madam,''said she, again taking Belle by the hand,''do oblige me by allowing me to plait your hair a little?''
13957	Now, what do you think of it?''
13957	Petulengro?"
13957	Petulengro?''
13957	Romany Rye"And who is Jerry Grant?"
13957	Romany Rye"Does your honour remember?"
13957	She turned her countenance upon me with the glance of a demon, and at last with a sneer of contempt exclaimed,''Carals, que es eso?
13957	Should I write another book like the Life of Joseph Sell; take it to London, and offer it to a publisher?
13957	Show me anything like that near Llangollen?''
13957	Thou readest the Scriptures?''
13957	Well, did you ever see a more quiet horse, or a better trotter?''
13957	Well, why not marry, and go and till the ground in America?
13957	Were those words which I heard?
13957	What do the books which mention it say about it, your honour?''
13957	What does not my own poor self owe to thee?
13957	What had been the profit of the tongues which I had learnt?
13957	What is there to see in Llangollen?''
13957	What knew he of Pegasus?
13957	What profession dost thou make?
13957	What should I have given them?
13957	What''s a gypsy?''
13957	When a boy of fourteen, I was present at a prize- fight; why should I hide the truth?
13957	Who could stand against such fellows and such whips?
13957	Who was it did, at Suderoe, The deed no other dared to do?
13957	Who was it flung the rope to me?
13957	Who was it taught my willing tongue, The songs that Braga fram''d and sung?
13957	Who was it, when the Boff had burst, And whelm''d me in its womb accurst, Who was it dashed amid the wave, With frantic zeal, my life to save?
13957	Why dost thou not undertake the study?''
13957	Will you let me get into the saddle, young man?''
13957	Would he have had recourse to them to draw out the little harmless beaver?
13957	You have heard of the Russians, Jasper?''
13957	Zincali"Are you of the least use?"
13957	ale like that, your honour, was never brewed in that trumpery hole Llangollen,''''You seem to have a very low opinion of Llangollen?''
13957	all eyes are turned upon him-- what looks of interest-- of respect-- and, what is this?
13957	and the voices of our chies, with their cukkerin and dukkerin, do n''t help to make them pleasant?''
13957	ay, why not?
13957	had they ever assisted me in the day of hunger?
13957	meat and bread?
13957	not daily?
13957	oh, that''s the cuckoo tolling; but what has the cuckoo to do with the matter?''
13957	said I, interrupting him;''have the vipers a king?''
13957	said both,''surely you are not too proud to sit down with us?''
13957	said he, a few moments after I had passed,''whose horse is that?
13957	said the old man,''who else should it be?
13957	shall I name thee last?
13957	what right had I to insult them by offering them money?
13957	what''s the man crying for?
18588	''And do you think that is the end of man?'' 18588 ''And how came the good woman not to tell me you were her husband?''
18588	''And how should a man?'' 18588 ''And the chals and chies into radical weavers and factory wenches, hey, brother?''
18588	''And the young girl I saw your daughter?'' 18588 ''And where will you take me?''
18588	''And who has more right,''said I,''seeing that you live by them? 18588 ''And who is your brother, little Sas?''
18588	''And why not cuckoos, brother?'' 18588 ''And you have spent it already?''
18588	''And your hanner will give me a shilling?'' 18588 ''Are you a native of these parts?''
18588	''But, your hanner, what shall we do for the words? 18588 ''But,''said I, after the landlord had departed,''I must insist on being[?
18588	''Can you playCroppies Lie Down"?''
18588	''Danger, brother, there is no danger; what danger should there be? 18588 ''Did I not say to you,''cried the bullfighter,''that you knew nothing of the crabbed_ Gitano_?
18588	''Do you choose to get on?'' 18588 ''Do you hear that, sir?''
18588	''Do you think so?'' 18588 ''Hanner bright, your hanner?''
18588	''Have you then realized a large capital in Spain?'' 18588 ''How do you know it?''
18588	''How much money did you bring with you to town?'' 18588 ''I suppose you are waiting to be paid,''said I;''what is your demand?''
18588	''I suppose you live there as servant?'' 18588 ''I would, your hanner; and why not?
18588	''In blindness, Jasper?'' 18588 ''In sickness, Jasper?''
18588	''Is the good woman I saw there your wife?'' 18588 ''It is not possible, say you?
18588	''Kosko Divvus, Pal,''said Mr. Petulengro, riding through the water;''are you turning back?'' 18588 ''O then you have been an Orange fiddler?''
18588	''O, who can doubt,''thought I,''that the word was originally intended for something monstrous and horrible? 18588 ''On what grounds do you suppose me to be so?''
18588	''Then why did you turn off the lord, and take up with me?'' 18588 ''Were you an author yourself,''replied my host,''you would not talk in this manner; once an author, ever an author-- besides, what could I do?
18588	''What are ye doing with the dog of peace?'' 18588 ''What are you doing with the dog, the fairy dog?''
18588	''What do you see there, brother?'' 18588 ''What does it look like, brother?''
18588	''What family have you?'' 18588 ''What horse is that?''
18588	''What is the name of this village?'' 18588 ''What, indeed, except in sleeping beneath a tree; what is that you have got in your hand?''
18588	''What,''said I,''and give up Popery for the second time?'' 18588 ''Where do you live?''
18588	''Which shall I have, brother?'' 18588 ''Who is staring at us so, and whose horse has not yet done drinking?
18588	''Who knows, your hanner? 18588 ''Who knows?''
18588	''Who knows?'' 18588 ''Why do you say so?''
18588	''Would you take your oath of it, brother-- your bodily oath?'' 18588 ''Yes,''said I,''I eat meat sometimes; what should I eat?''
18588	''You are a Roman Catholic, I suppose?'' 18588 ''You are a professor of music, I suppose?''
18588	''You have been a soldier of the King of Spain,''said I;''how did you like the service?'' 18588 ''You have taken drows, sir,''said Mrs. Herne;''do you hear, sir?
18588	''You hear what the young rye says?'' 18588 ''You speak the language of Spain very imperfectly,''said I;''how long have you been in the country?''
18588	''Your hanner will give me a shilling?'' 18588 Belle looked at me for a moment in silence; then turning to Mrs. Petulengro, she said,''You have had your will with me; are you satisfied?''
18588	Dear baby, what makes ye your countenance hide?
18588	Do ye mean,Borrow says that he said,"that ye would wish to be hanged?"
18588	My father, my father, and seest thou not His sorceress daughter in yonder dark spot?
18588	Perhaps you will not mind reciting me something in the Persian tongue?
18588	Spur, father, your courser and rowel his side; The Erl- King is chasing us over the heath;"Peace, baby, thou seest a vapoury wreath?
18588	Then there was myself; for what was I born? 18588 What is truth?"
18588	When a boy of fourteen,he says,"I was present at a prize fight; why should I hide the truth?
18588	When may I look for thee once more here? 18588 _ Mother_.--''But of what?
18588	''And by what means do you possess such apparent influence over them?''
18588	''And do you keep them,''said I,''for the sake of making mead with their honey?''
18588	''And do you live alone?''
18588	''And do you support yourself entirely by means of your bees?''
18588	''And have you always lived alone?''
18588	''And whom may it betide?''
18588	''Are you bound for Finisterra, cavalheiros?''
18588	''Are you married?''
18588	''But suppose all that were to happen, what would it signify to you?''
18588	''By whom else?''
18588	''Come, let us know what you ask for him?''
18588	''Did he know them?''
18588	''Do you call that a great price?''
18588	''Do you remember what I told you of the Eastern origin of these people?
18588	''Do you think my black pal ever rides at a leaping bar?
18588	''Dost thou see that man in the ford?''
18588	''Have you made a long journey to- night?''
18588	''Have you many bees?''
18588	''How do you know that?''
18588	''I believe I heard you coming in my sleep,''said I;''did the dogs above bark at you?''
18588	''If crocodiles,''thought I,''ever existed in Britain, and who shall say they have not?
18588	''Kennst du das land wo die citronen bluhen?''"
18588	''My father, why were moles made?''
18588	''My father, why were you and I made?''
18588	''Separate,''said I,''what do you mean?
18588	''Then you were talking with her beneath the hedge?''
18588	''Well,''said I,''and could he not make an honest penny, and yet give me the price I ask?''
18588	''What are you thinking of?''
18588	''What do you ask for him?''
18588	''When and where was that?''
18588	''Where do you get it?''
18588	''Who are those people, and what could have brought them into that strange situation?''
18588	''Who is that?''
18588	''Why not?''
18588	''Will you let me look in his mouth?''
18588	''Yes,''said Isopel,''very violently; did you think of me in your sleep?''
18588	''Yorkshire?''
18588	*****"''What ails you, my child?''
18588	And as to the_ time_ spent, hunting is inseparable from_ early rising_; and, with habits of early rising, who ever wanted time for any business?"
18588	And yet I do n''t know; did n''t he write Childe Harold and that ode?
18588	Are not all things born to be forgotten?
18588	Are not all things subjected to the law of necessity?
18588	Art thou, as leeches say, the concomitant of disease-- the result of shattered nerves?
18588	Assuredly; time and chance govern all things: yet how can this be?
18588	Batuschca,''he exclaimed the other night, on reading an article in a newspaper;''what do you think of the present doings in Spain?
18588	Borrow asked:''Is that old Lyle I met here once, the man who stands at the door( of some den or other) and_ bets_?''
18588	Borrow, that the Persian is a very fine language; is it so?"
18588	Borrow, who were they?''
18588	But could I, taking all circumstances into consideration, have done better than I had?
18588	But how could I help him?
18588	But how were indifferent people to distinguish between madness and this screaming horror?
18588	But it is not fair or necessary to retort as Hindes Groome did:"Is the Man in Black then also a reality, and the Reverend Mr. Platitude?
18588	But was I ever born?
18588	Cheered with hope, we struggle along through all the difficulties of moor, bog, and mountain, to arrive at-- what?
18588	Come, your hanner, shall I play ye"Croppies Get Up"?''
18588	Dialogue with tall man Merddyn?
18588	Did he?
18588	Did you not hear me say that I would give a quart of ale to see a poet?''
18588	Do you know where you are?''
18588	Do you know where you will be this time to- morrow?''
18588	Do you mean my account books?"
18588	Flow on, beautiful one!--which of the world''s streams canst thou envy, with thy beauty and renown?
18588	Good are our horses, and good our riders-- yea, very good are the Moslems at mounting the horse; who are like them?
18588	Had I not better become in reality what I had hitherto been merely playing at-- a tinker or a Gypsy?
18588	Had he not said, in his preface, that he had known the Gypsies for twenty years and that they treated him well because they thought him a Gypsy?
18588	He calls the fatalist''s question:"Can an Arabian steed submit to be a vile drudge?"
18588	He can also be precise and connoisseur- like, as when he describes the cataract at Llan Rhaiadr:"What shall I liken it to?
18588	He is said to have stained his face to darken it further, and to have been asked by Valpy:"Is that jaundice or only dirt, Borrow?"
18588	He said to the silent archbishop:"I suppose your lordship knows who I am?
18588	His horses are magnificent:"What,"he asks,"what is a missionary in the heart of Spain without a horse?
18588	His"Letter concerning the two first chapters of Luke"has the further title,"Who was the father of Christ?"
18588	How did he stand?
18588	How should a bird have a soul?''
18588	I am glad to see you: how are you getting on?''
18588	I grasped, I tore, and strove to fling it from me; but of what avail were my efforts?
18588	I know you will give me one, pretty brother, grey- haired brother-- which shall I have, brother?''
18588	I say, young man, will you warrant this horse?''
18588	I was asking, brother, whether you believe in dukkeripens?''
18588	I was living, it is true, not unpleasantly, enjoying the healthy air of heaven; but, upon the whole, was I not sadly misspending my time?
18588	If beavers ever existed in Britain, and do not tradition and Giraldus say that they have?
18588	If so, of what profit is life?
18588	In other words, did Tractarianism exist in 1825, eight years before it was engendered by Keble''s sermon?"
18588	In the earlier version of"Lavengro,"represented by a manuscript and a proof,"Ardry"is"Arden,""Jasper"is"Ambrose,"and the question"What is his name?"
18588	In the same way, when he has told a man called Dafydd Tibbot, that he is a Frenchman--"Dearie me, sir, am I indeed?"
18588	In what did I not doubt?
18588	In what is man better than a butterfly?
18588	Is it possible she can be singing?
18588	Is not all that I see a lie-- a deceitful phantom?
18588	Is not the word a fitting brother of the Arabic timsah, denoting the dread horny lizard of the waters?
18588	Is there a world, and earth, and sky?
18588	Is this invention?
18588	James?"
18588	L---?''
18588	Life is very sweet, brother; who would wish to die?''
18588	Moreover, have we not the voice of tradition that the afanc was something monstrous?
18588	Now what am I to give you for the things?"
18588	Now, madam,''said she, again taking Belle by the hand,''do oblige me by allowing me to plait your hair a little?''
18588	O how from their fury shall I flee?
18588	O who can read the stars like the Egyptians?

18588	Photo: W. J. Roberts: page27.jpg} CHAPTER IV-- WHAT IS TRUTH?
18588	Reader, have you ever pored days and nights over the pages of Snorro?
18588	Scraps like this from"Wisdom of the Egyptians,"are well enough:"''My father, why were worms made?''
18588	Should I write another book like the''Life of Joseph Sell;''take it to London, and offer it to a publisher?
18588	Thackeray tried to get up a conversation with him, his final effort being the question,"Have you seen my''Snob Papers''in''Punch''?"
18588	That''s incomprehensible: yet is it not so?
18588	The girl and water-- B---?
18588	The same critic has remarked on"the Sterne- like conclusion of a chapter:''Italy-- what was I going to say about Italy?''"
18588	This chapter now ends with the magistrate''s question to young Borrow about this man:"What is his name?"
18588	Thou wouldst be joyous, wouldst thou?
18588	To which Borrow answered:"In''Punch''?
18588	Translated from the French[ by Borrow?].
18588	Was it before his first escape from London, as he says in"Lavengro"?
18588	Was it during his second long stay in London or after his second escape?
18588	Was it not there that I introduced you to the sorcerer who tamed the savage horses by a single whisper into their ear?
18588	Was it now, or when he was bookkeeper at the inn in 1825, that he saw so much of the ways of commercial travellers?
18588	Was it possible that it was relaxing its grasp, releasing its prey?
18588	Was it possible?
18588	Was it the beauty of the scene which gave rise to these emotions?
18588	Well, why not marry, and go and till the ground in America?
18588	What beautiful object has not something which more or less mars its loveliness?
18588	What danger is there?''
18588	What does not my own poor self owe to thee?
18588	What great work was ever the result of joy, the puny one?
18588	What had been the profit of the tongues which I had learned?
18588	What languages do you understand?"
18588	What matters it then if the author professes the opinion that"the friendship of the unrighteous is never of long duration"?
18588	What should I do: run to the nearest town or village, and request the assistance of my fellow- men?
18588	What should I do: say my prayers?
18588	What will you have for that nokengro?''
18588	When he was only eighteen he was continually asking himself"What is truth?"
18588	When roast the heifer and spice the beer?"
18588	Where is there such a man who can not trace to this cause a very considerable part of all the mortifications and sufferings of his life?
18588	Who associates Snowdon with Arthur, and what Arthurian stories have the valleys and passes of Snowdon for their scenes?
18588	Who can lie down on Elvir Hill without experiencing something of the sorcery of the place?
18588	Who could stand against such fellows and such whips?
18588	Who have been the wise ones, the mighty ones, the conquering ones of this earth?
18588	Who was it did all this for me?
18588	Who was it did, at Suderoe, The deed no other dared to do?
18588	Who was it flung the rope to me?
18588	Who was it taught my willing tongue, The songs that Braga fram''d and sung?
18588	Who was it, when the Boff had burst, And whelm''d me in its womb accurst, Who was it dashed amid the wave, With frantic zeal, my life to save?
18588	Who when he thinks of Snowdon does not associate it with the heroes of romance, Arthur and his knights?
18588	Why should a man with such a life invent for the purpose of only five books?
18588	Will a time come when all will be forgotten that now is beneath the sun?
18588	Will you believe her words?
18588	Will you let me get into the saddle, young man?''
18588	Would he have had recourse to them to draw out the little harmless beaver?
18588	Years afterwards, when Mr. Watts- Dunton asked him,"What is the real nature of autobiography?"
18588	all eyes are turned upon him-- what looks of interest-- of respect-- and, what is this?
18588	and in another place referred to the time when he lived with the English Gypsies?
18588	and who can read the lines of the palm like the Egyptians?
18588	and who knows that I may not play the ould tune round Willie''s image in College Green, even as I used some twenty- seven years ago?''
18588	but how is this?
18588	do you think that the being before ye has any sympathy for the like of you?
18588	had they ever assisted me in the day of hunger?
18588	he answered in questions:"Is it a mere record of the incidents of a man''s life?
18588	or is it a picture of the man himself-- his character, his soul?"
18588	other things far more genuine-- how he had tamed savage mares, wrestled with Satan, and had dealings with ferocious publishers"?
18588	return to my former state of vegetation?
18588	said I,''was it you that cried danger?
18588	said I;''surely you are not thinking of driving me away?''
18588	said a mother to her son, as he lay on a couch under the influence of the dreadful one;''what ails you?
18588	said he, a few moments after I had passed,''whose horse is that?
18588	seeing that their remains have been discovered, why should they not have haunted this pool?
18588	the great man exclaimed:"Pray, what books do you mean, madam?
18588	the joyous?
18588	there is no one can harm you; of what are you apprehensive?''
18588	they are not of our blood, and shall that be shed for them?"
18588	what"poets of modern Europe"have sung of it?
18588	who''ll stay here?
18588	why not?
18588	why should a mortal worm be sitting in judgment over thee?
18588	why should they not have existed in this pool?
