39463 | Is it any wonder that these form attractions which prove too strong for the average robber to resist? |
39463 | Now why should they place such a high value on these emblems? |
39463 | Often these women have said to me,"Why do you love us, Khatoun?" |
39463 | She was telling me how poor she was, as her"man"was ill and could not work; but I said,"I expect you have gold?" |
39463 | Should we be any better under like circumstances? |
39463 | Sometimes they would desist, but as a rule would only laugh, saying:"What does it matter? |
39463 | Suddenly a bright idea strikes him, and running to the priest, he calls out,"Will you take my hand, then, oh my lord?" |
39463 | Tea, did I say? |
39463 | Terribly alarmed, they asked the men however they came to be there-- did they not know it was"hareem"? |
39463 | That"cup of coffee"is a most useful(?) |
39463 | The first unfortunate woman to be put in this ward(?) |
39463 | The ladies will begin with a series of questions, such as--"How old are you?" |
39463 | The"table"is the ground, so we must gracefully(?) |
39463 | They assert that"he did not even know our language, and so how could he have propagated his doctrines among us?" |
39463 | They came and stood in front of the covered- up bride, and called in a loud voice,"Oh, my daughter, will you consent to be the bride of this man?" |
39463 | This being the sentiment of every Moslem man, is it any wonder that there is no happiness or mutual regard in the family life? |
39463 | This is one of the good(?) |
39463 | To the oft- repeated question,"How much farther?" |
39463 | What can be said to people whose mind is capable of evolving such ideas? |
39463 | What had happened? |
39463 | What, then, is the purpose of all those tall, square, chimney- like buildings, appearing from the roofs of nearly all the dwelling- places of Yezd? |
39463 | When asked,"What is your father''s name?" |
39463 | When we think of the sufferings of these hundreds of poor innocent children, do not our hearts ache with sadness for them? |
39463 | Who is to tell them of love if we do not? |
39463 | Will no one heed the cry of anguish and despair which goes up from their midst? |
39463 | Will you let me live always with you?" |
39463 | is the Beg dead? |
39463 | or"Had she done this to avenge herself for some wrong?" |
39463 | or,"Did I not bring So- and- so to see you?" |
39463 | they say,"How do I know?" |
39463 | think, Abib, dost thou think? |
39463 | why do you not make better?" |
22117 | And,he added,"can you also measure the length of cloth with them?" |
22117 | Are the troops then only drilled in the autumn and spring? |
22117 | Baku?--where is that? |
22117 | But you look very young to have travelled so much? |
22117 | But, Sadek, can you not see the white perfectly straight line stretching along, straighter than anything else around you? |
22117 | Can this be the Swiss hotel? |
22117 | Can you not see that the white track leads exactly in the direction where my compass says we must go? |
22117 | Do camel men in your country, Sahib, make as good bread as this when they cross the_ lut_( desert)? |
22117 | Do you drill in winter? |
22117 | Do you drink spirits and wine? |
22117 | Do you know what you are asking the guard? |
22117 | Do you not think,said the Mullah,"that England is now an old nation, tired and worn-- too old to fight? |
22117 | Do you smoke? |
22117 | Have you heard the guns being fired? |
22117 | How far are we from Nasratabad? |
22117 | How much does it cost to build a house? |
22117 | How much does your King give you to go about seeing foreign countries? |
22117 | I suppose they are also only dressed and shod on the Shah''s birthday? |
22117 | I thought you said that Englishmen were hated in Russia, and that they would confiscate all my things? 22117 In your travels do you find the people generally good or bad?" |
22117 | Is Meftah- es- Sultaneh here? |
22117 | Is there a town here called Nasirabad? |
22117 | It is a fine house, is it not, Sahib? |
22117 | Palatinski means''Do you speak Latin?'' 22117 Sahib, have you been to the country where the sun''goes to sleep''in a hole in the earth every evening?" |
22117 | Sahib,he said,"do you know what your servant is doing? |
22117 | Then do you think that your king will grant me a pension, so that I can live in luxury and without working to the end of my days? |
22117 | What can all those lights be? |
22117 | What do you think of my beloved city, Sher- i- Nasrya? |
22117 | What for? |
22117 | What have I done to you that you kill me? |
22117 | What type and calibre rifle is used in the Persian army? |
22117 | What? 22117 Who do you think is the most powerful?" |
22117 | Who in the world is that? |
22117 | Whose caravan is this? |
22117 | Why did you run away? |
22117 | Why should I settle here? |
22117 | Why, then, did you come here? |
22117 | Will the Chinese ever be able to fight England or Russia with success? 22117 Will you not get off your horses and have some dinner with me by the light of them?" |
22117 | You are very late on the road, sahib? |
22117 | You have no camels, sahib,--no_ lut_--in your country? |
22117 | _ Combien de livres avez vous écrits?_( How many books have you written?) |
22117 | _ Combien de livres avez vous écrits?_( How many books have you written?) |
22117 | _ Combien livres avez vous envoyé moi?_( How many books have you sent me?) |
22117 | _ Combien livres avez vous envoyé moi?_( How many books have you sent me?) |
22117 | _ Vous écrivez livres?_thundered the Shah to me in lame French, as he stroked his moustache in a nervous manner. |
22117 | ---- Cichorium(?). |
22117 | And, after all, does this protection keep out our goods from those countries? |
22117 | Are we not as good as they are? |
22117 | But what else could they do? |
22117 | But, besides, have we not got soldiers to defend India? |
22117 | Did the_ ferenghi_ know how to find gold in the earth? |
22117 | Do you happen to know where the English Consulate is?" |
22117 | Had they been stolen or had they run away? |
22117 | Have you not some companions?" |
22117 | He had understood that all Englishmen had yellow hair; why had I dark hair? |
22117 | How can you expect a Russian railway- guard to speak Latin? |
22117 | How could we then get as good bread as yours?" |
22117 | How much? |
22117 | If properly armed and drilled, what chances had the Chinese army of winning against the Allies? |
22117 | Now, why should it not be possible-- and certainly more profitable-- to meet the wishes of natives of Eastern countries and give them what they want? |
22117 | One point in our conversation which his Excellency seemed very anxious to clear up was, what would be the future of China? |
22117 | One question frequently asked is:"Who owns Beluchistan?" |
22117 | Or else how could we account for these enormous fortresses which are found all along to protect the great city? |
22117 | Our names are Clemenson and Marsh-- but what in the world are you doing here? |
22117 | Result? |
22117 | The result? |
22117 | To which one might almost answer:"Yes, who does?" |
22117 | Was I a Russian or an Englishman? |
22117 | Was it modesty,--was it to deceive envious eyes? |
22117 | Were the Chinese well- armed during the war of 1900? |
22117 | What becomes of the olives? |
22117 | What have you done to earn such a sum?" |
22117 | Who are you? |
22117 | Who are you?] |
22117 | Why on earth did the_ ferenghi_ want to know how high mountains were? |
22117 | Why should we ever encourage the so far unconcerned Russian to come to India by showing our fear? |
22117 | Why should we fear the Russians? |
22117 | Why then hurry? |
22117 | Why? |
22117 | Will you accept him as your slave?" |
22117 | Would China be eventually absorbed and divided into two or more shares by European powers, or would she be maintained as an Empire?" |
22117 | Yes, certainly, but why did the Government not see? |
22117 | _ Kesankur_ Peganum Harmala L._ Kanderi_(?) |
22117 | exclaimed Ali, with his eyes fast expanding with surprise;"Why, then, did you come here?" |
22117 | not Tibet Landor? |
1170 | A peltast, then? |
1170 | And the neighbouring country? |
1170 | And yet, if we yield ourselves and fall into the king''s power, need we ask what our fate will be? 1170 But consider one point,"urged Xenophon;"if we are to march by night, is not the Hellenic fashion best? |
1170 | But how,it was asked,"will they manage to wrestle on the hard scrubby ground?" |
1170 | But let me ask you, in what condition do you turn your backs on this 31 land to- day? 1170 But what right have I to be drawing conclusions about stealing in your presence, Cheirisophus? |
1170 | But when they have expended their ammunition,said Xenophon,"there is nothing else, is there, to hinder our passing? |
1170 | Dost thou not mark how my son has sneezed a blessing on all my words? |
1170 | Good,said Xenophon,"but to what use do you propose to put us, if we become your allies? |
1170 | How then are we to get them collected? |
1170 | Nay,retorted Xenophon,"by the same token we shall all one day be dead, but that is no reason why meantime we should all be buried alive?" |
1170 | Some one may say, are you not ashamed to be so taken in like a fool? 1170 Then what injury have you received from me,"Cyrus asked,"that now for the third time, you have been detected in a treasonous plot against me?" |
1170 | Then, once more having discovered the limits of your power, did you flee to the altar of Artemis, crying out that you repented? 1170 Well then,"said Xenophon,"supposing we came, what should you be able to give us? |
1170 | Well then,said they,"he will oppose our taking away the troops, will he not?" |
1170 | Well,said he,"was he any the less dead when I reported him to you?" |
1170 | What was the country? |
1170 | What, must we anticipate, will now be our fate? 1170 Why had he not invited Xenophon with the others?" |
1170 | Why, when we had it in our power to destroy you, did we not proceed to do it? 1170 ( 1) Can this be the same man whose escape is so graphically described above? 1170 --How say you the same views?" |
1170 | 5 Then at last he recognised him, and inquired:"Are you the fellow who carried home the sick man?" |
1170 | After that they asked,"Were there any captains of light infantry willing to accompany the expedition?" |
1170 | After that,"and at this point Cyrus turned to Orontas, and addressed him personally--"after that, did I do you any wrong?" |
1170 | And Clearchus answered:"So, then, that is your 20 deliberate view? |
1170 | And again,"For whom are the horses being bred?" |
1170 | And how do you propose to stimulate their sense of awe, and keep them in good behaviour towards you? |
1170 | And now, since we have reached Hellenic cities, how has it fared with us? |
1170 | And what had we? |
1170 | And what will you in turn be able to do to assist our passage?" |
1170 | And you, who know all this, how can you say that it is mere nonsense to talk of self- defence? |
1170 | Are not all things in all ways subject to the gods? |
1170 | Are these things so?" |
1170 | Are you minded to stop and keep truce, or is there to be war? |
1170 | As soon as he was fully awake, the first clear thought which came into his head was, Why am I lying here? |
1170 | As to the generals, their immediate concern was to try and gain some information as to Seuthes:"Was he hostile or friendly? |
1170 | At this point he again questioned Medosades,"Whether the words attributed to him were exact?" |
1170 | But how so? |
1170 | But if he who partly gave you this security has failed to pay in full the wages due to you therefrom, is not that a terrible misfortune? |
1170 | But now, what do you think of their case, these men of Cerasus? |
1170 | But what is your behaviour? |
1170 | But you will tell me, perhaps, that I get from Seuthes what is by right yours, and that I deal subtly by you? |
1170 | But, granted that the rivers do bar our passage, and that guides are not forthcoming, what care we? |
1170 | Cheirisophus answered:"But why should you go and leave your command in the rear? |
1170 | Cheirisophus answered:"Look up there,"pointing as he spoke to the mountain,"do you see how inaccessible it all is? |
1170 | Clearchus listened to the reasoning, and then he asked the messenger,"How large the country between the Tigris and the canal might be?" |
1170 | Clearly, the attacking party must either conquer or be worsted: if they conquer, what need of their breaking down the bridge? |
1170 | Consider, then; is it better to go and meet the foe with arms advanced, or with arms reversed to watch him as he assails us on our rear? |
1170 | Could any one make you believe that the sun rises here and sets there, or that he sets here and rises there? |
1170 | Did Cheirisophus conceivably die of fever brought on by some poisonous draught? |
1170 | Did I ask you for something and, on your refusing it to me, did I proceed to beat you? |
1170 | Did any one ever die in battle from the bite or kick of a horse? |
1170 | Do I hinder any of them from speaking any word of import in his power? |
1170 | Do not the cities which gave us birth yield them obedience also? |
1170 | Do you not see all these great plains, which you find it hard enough to traverse even when they are friendly? |
1170 | Does not the surgeon also cauterise and cut us for our good? |
1170 | Eucleides congratulated Xenophon upon his safe return, and asked him how much gold he had got? |
1170 | For if I am not much mistaken, the enemy were close at our heels?" |
1170 | For what of the man who can not be trusted? |
1170 | Galloping up to the front himself, he asked:"Why do you summon me?" |
1170 | Have you not wintered here in the lap of plenty? |
1170 | Hearing this, Xenophon dismounted, and the other asked:"Why do you dismount just when speed is the thing we want?" |
1170 | How are we to march most safely? |
1170 | However, why do you address yourself to me? |
1170 | I ask then, with all these banded together against us, is there any one so insensate as to imagine that we can survive the contest? |
1170 | I ask you, does it seem to you that we lack the means, if we had the will, to destroy you? |
1170 | I now call upon you, and you first, Clearchus, to declare your opinion-- what think you?" |
1170 | If as our master, why need he ask for them rather than come and take them? |
1170 | If we can trust any guide whom Cyrus may vouchsafe to us, why not order Cyrus at once to occupy the pass on our behoof? |
1170 | In this way he contrived to turn back and consult the victims,"Would the gods allow him to try and bring the army over to Seuthes?" |
1170 | In your choice of leaders do I stand in the way of any one, is that it? |
1170 | It is a little dangerous for myself, is it not? |
1170 | Nay, if in a fit of madness we murdered you, what then? |
1170 | Now is that a point in which a man might hope to cheat you? |
1170 | Now, sirs, is it not clear that all these good things belong to whoever has strength to hold them? |
1170 | Or again, which will be the greater drain on your purse? |
1170 | Or do you impute the fault to some one not here? |
1170 | Other people with Cyrus won great success, they were told( 1); why should it not be so with them? |
1170 | Presently the Lacedaemonians asked:"What sort of man is Xenophon?" |
1170 | Seuthes put the question,"Would you like to die on his behalf, Episthenes?" |
1170 | Seuthes, turning to the boy, asked,"Shall I smite him instead of you?" |
1170 | Should we not ourselves bestow the worst of names on the perpetrators of like deeds?" |
1170 | The other again asked:"Peace or war, what answer shall I make?" |
1170 | The others asked,"Were they willing to give them pledges to that effect?" |
1170 | The soldiers held a meeting, and took counsel about the remainder of the journey: should they make their exit from the Pontus by sea or by land? |
1170 | The soldiers, on their side, laid the blame of course on Xenophon:"Where was their pay?" |
1170 | The two were brought up at once and questioned separately:"Did they know of any other road than the one visible?" |
1170 | Then the Arcadians inquired of Xenophon''s officers-- why they had quenched the watch- fires? |
1170 | There is no passing, 39 until we have dislodged these fellows; why have you not brought up the light infantry?" |
1170 | Thereupon they consulted together, and to Xenophon''s inquiry,"What it was which hindered their simply walking in?" |
1170 | They asked:"Does he play the popular leader?" |
1170 | Was I not actually on my road home when I turned back? |
1170 | Was I the worse for liquor, and behaving like a drunkard?" |
1170 | Was he really leading them to attack the king? |
1170 | Was it a debt, for which I demanded payment? |
1170 | Was it not rather, that they had noticed my abundant zeal on your behalf? |
1170 | Was it, do you suppose, because they detected some ill- will in me towards you that they made the allegation? |
1170 | What answer shall I take from you?" |
1170 | What follows? |
1170 | What friendly city will receive us when they see rampant lawlessness in our midst? |
1170 | What is it? |
1170 | What then did common sense suggest? |
1170 | What wrong did I commit in bringing you, whither you were eager to go? |
1170 | When Polynicus and I asked Seuthes, what sort of a man he was? |
1170 | When asked,"What shall you need?" |
1170 | When the man met each of these questions with a negative, he questioned him further:"Are you a heavy infantry soldier?" |
1170 | When, lithe of limb, she danced the Pyrrhic( 4), loud clapping followed; and the Paphlagonians asked,"If these women fought by their side in battle?" |
1170 | Where are the men posted to intercept us? |
1170 | Who indeed would care to carry a flag of truce, or go as a herald with 30 the blood of heralds upon his hands? |
1170 | Who was there now to furnish them with a market? |
1170 | Who will have the courage to afford us a market, when we prove our worthlessness in these weightiest concerns? |
1170 | Why should it be guarded since it was friendly? |
1170 | Why? |
1170 | Will you take us for your allies? |
1170 | Will you then please inform us as to that point also? |
1170 | Would you, Xenophon, repeat what you said to us?" |
1170 | Xenophon inquired:"And how far from the sea shall you expect the army to follow you?" |
1170 | Xenophon laughed and said:"But supposing these all together do not amount to the pay; for whom is the talent, shall I say? |
1170 | You ask what it is I would have you to do? |
1170 | You heard the threats?" |
1170 | a general to undertake the work? |
1170 | also, would they have to march through the Sacred mountain( 1), or round about through the middle of Thrace?" |
1170 | am I waiting till I am older mysef and of riper age? |
1170 | and all yonder great mountain chains left for you to cross, which we can at any time occupy in advance and render impassable? |
1170 | and did you thus work upon my feelings, that we a second time shook hands and made interchange of solemn pledges? |
1170 | and from what city? |
1170 | and what becomes of the praise we expect to win from the mouths of men? |
1170 | have we not horsemen enough, or infantry, or whatever other arm you like, whereby we may be able to injure you, without risk of suffering in return? |
1170 | how can you bid us go again and try the arts of persuasion? |
1170 | in slaying our benefactor should we not have challenged to enter the lists against us a more formidable antagonist in the king himself? |
1170 | is not their lordship over all alike outspread? |
1170 | of striking a blow in your behalf and his own, if that is his choice? |
1170 | or a quarrel about some boy or other? |
1170 | or did he die under treatment? |
1170 | or did he take poison whilst suffering from fever? |
1170 | or how shall we, who lay the knife to each other''s throats, give battle to our enemies? |
1170 | or where blows are needed, how are we to fight to the best advantage? |
1170 | or, finally, of keeping his eyes and ears open to secure your safety? |
1170 | or, possibly, do we seem to you 17 to lack the physical surroundings suitable for attacking you? |
1170 | the question arises, Was he equally good as a commander? |
1170 | the soldiers, the officers, and the generals? |
1170 | to pay off your present debt, or, with that still owing, to bid for more troops, and of a better quality? |
1170 | what am I waiting for? |
1170 | what did I say,"he asked,"at your next visit, when 28 you came to me in Selybria?" |
1170 | what is happening at this instant? |
1170 | while others hearing from us a hundred stories in your praise, hasten to present themselves at your desire? |
1170 | who will vouchsafe it to us, if this is our behaviour? |
1170 | why have I managed my affairs no better? |
52189 | ''And what is your opinion?'' 52189 ''And you give the thieves a full and free pardon?'' |
52189 | ''Does your majesty require the thieves or the treasure? 52189 ''How? |
52189 | ''Very well,''said the king:''but who were they? 52189 ''What are you doing?'' |
52189 | ''What can you have to confess to me?'' 52189 ''What proof of love,''exclaimed poor Ahmed,''can you desire, which I will not give?'' |
52189 | ''Who,''said the irritated lady,''do you take me for? 52189 A friend asked him how it happened that the two most celebrated Persian Soofee poets should differ so much in their description of love? |
52189 | And do you think,said he,"I will do what I have told them?" |
52189 | And what did the foolish writer of that book know about Solomon? |
52189 | And what did you do? |
52189 | Are the French,he asked,"a powerful people?" |
52189 | But how do they see or hear,said I,"sufficient to direct them in their choice?" |
52189 | But what is the use of those peeps and chance meetings to your young ladies, if they have not the liberty of choice with regard to their husbands? |
52189 | But why,said I,"if they have this power, and such rights of property, are they cooped up, and never allowed to stir abroad without veils? |
52189 | But you suffer from oppression like others? |
52189 | Can not you go without cheese one day, you luxurious little rascal? 52189 Can you see land to starboard?" |
52189 | Four? |
52189 | Hajee,said Aga Mahomed Khan, half angry,"have I been mistaken? |
52189 | Have you no laws,said I one day to Aga Meer,"but the Koran, and the traditions upon that volume?" |
52189 | Have you studied our law,said Meerzâ Aga Meer to me,"particularly that part of it which relates to property and inheritance?" |
52189 | How answerest thou? |
52189 | How many fersekhs long do you wish it? |
52189 | Is it not as likely they have been stolen from us? |
52189 | Is that oppression? |
52189 | Is the blood of the first race on the plains of Kipchâk contaminated? 52189 It depends upon his age; I suppose he is past five?" |
52189 | It is taking the animal,said Rahmân Beg to me,"off his natural position; and for what? |
52189 | Now what is our situation in Persia? 52189 Pray, do you expect,"said a pert courtier, who heard this declaration,"that the caliph is to pay your ignorance?" |
52189 | The Greeks talk of the club of Hercules, but what was his club to the bull- headed mace with which Roostem destroyed whole armies? 52189 The old dame''s cat requested to know what rich meat was, and what taste wheat- cakes had? |
52189 | Then,I observed,"when you made Soonees captives, you did not make them slaves?" |
52189 | They delight in nothing,said he,"but strong liquor and hogs''flesh; and, would you believe it?" |
52189 | Well,said the minister, addressing the Elchee''s relation,"how did you find Sûlimân Khan?" |
52189 | What are you about, you fool? |
52189 | What becomes of your illegitimate children in England? |
52189 | What conduct is this, you scoundrel? |
52189 | What does it look like? |
52189 | What is the use of his lenity, if he neither gives his soldiers money himself, nor allows them to take it from others? 52189 What is the use of your quarter less three,"said an impatient landsman,"when the ship is aground?" |
52189 | What think you of Persia? |
52189 | Where can I go? |
52189 | Where is the darling boy? |
52189 | Where is the old villain,said the chief,"that dares to claim any one whom I protect?" |
52189 | Who are these peasants? |
52189 | Who has done it? |
52189 | Why, then,said I,"did your Prophet permit polygamy, and set so bad an example? |
52189 | You have heard of Zohâk, prince of Arabia? |
52189 | You seem to have some distress of mind? |
52189 | You were never married, then? |
52189 | ''And my Indian handkerchief and golden slippers?'' |
52189 | ''And my silk vest?'' |
52189 | ''Are you sure?'' |
52189 | ''Are you tired of looking down at your last,''cried another,''that you are now looking up at the planets?'' |
52189 | ''But how has this miraculous change been wrought?'' |
52189 | ''Certainly,''said the jeweller, for such he was;''have you one to sell?'' |
52189 | ''Common pebbles, I suppose; can you show me any?'' |
52189 | ''Do n''t you know Ahmed the cobbler?'' |
52189 | ''Do you really mean to say you are happy?'' |
52189 | ''Do you think it possible I can suffer such gross wrong and injustice without complaining, and making it known to all the world?'' |
52189 | ''Hadst thou been slain,''asked he of the intelligent brute,''how should I have accomplished my enterprise?'' |
52189 | ''I will take this,''he said, wrapping it up, and putting it under his arm;''What is the price?'' |
52189 | ''Nonsense,''said his friend;''do we not all know to what a termagant you are united? |
52189 | ''Poor who?'' |
52189 | ''Tell me, Ahmed,''said the king,''who has stolen my treasure?'' |
52189 | ''Well, Ahmed,''said his wife, as he entered,''what news at court?'' |
52189 | ''What are you-- a common sailor?'' |
52189 | ''What are you?'' |
52189 | ''What did you find there? |
52189 | ''What have I to do with your wife?'' |
52189 | ''What have you got?'' |
52189 | ''What is that you say?'' |
52189 | ''What is that?'' |
52189 | ''What, friend Ahmed,''said one,''have you worked till your head is turned?'' |
52189 | ''Why did you dare,''said the enraged monarch,''to write me fermâns? |
52189 | ''Why?'' |
52189 | Addressing those around him, he said,''Do not you now see the extent of the knowledge of Noosheerwân? |
52189 | Admitting that the inhabitants of Europe received these tales and apologues from the Saracens, the next question is, where did they get them? |
52189 | After complimenting him on his courage, I asked where he was born? |
52189 | Am I to experience such prosperity after such adversity?'' |
52189 | Am not I the cherished wife of your bosom?'' |
52189 | But for me you must either have given up your journey, or have been drowned in that stream, and what is my reward? |
52189 | But what can this be? |
52189 | But why did you send a Persian to my court? |
52189 | But, what is that?" |
52189 | Can not you fill the bag and bring it away?'' |
52189 | Can there be a doubt, at the present moment, how they ought to act between you and the French? |
52189 | Did you ever see or hear such a set of swaggerers and story- tellers? |
52189 | Did you not recover my treasure? |
52189 | Do they not hear of other countries? |
52189 | From whence have you arrived with so lovely an appearance? |
52189 | Has he married the daughter of a citizen of Nishâpoor?" |
52189 | Have I given him sweetmeats so often, to be stared at as a stranger? |
52189 | Have you not brought me this emerald?'' |
52189 | He asked the man, pointing to those in the shop, if he would buy any such articles? |
52189 | He desired particularly to know how the Elchee had been treated in his dominions, and whether he liked what he had seen of Persia? |
52189 | He exclaimed aloud to the heroes of Iran,''Where is Roostem? |
52189 | He prophesied that there should be one unworthy man with me; it is this fellow: what have you taken?'' |
52189 | How could he ascertain their exact number? |
52189 | I asked Rahmân Beg, how he, as a Mahomedan, could reconcile himself to make slaves of persons of the same religion? |
52189 | I asked a person sitting near me, if this familiarity did not now and then interfere with discipline? |
52189 | I have made up my mind to leave Nishâpoor; why should I remain? |
52189 | I looked round; and observing my surprise, he instantly exclaimed,"What do I care who knows my sentiments? |
52189 | I took it, and said to it,''Art thou musk or ambergris, for I am charmed with thy perfume?'' |
52189 | I understand the rights of your legitimate wives and daughters; but what becomes of the numerous progeny of slaves and others of the Harem?" |
52189 | I went on well,"he adds,"till I came near to Hamadân, when our kâfillah was plundered by sixty horsemen: one fellow asked me,''what I had got?'' |
52189 | In a conversation I had with him, as we were walking the deck, the day we arrived at Muscat, I asked him if he had a wife? |
52189 | In came an English waiter, with his head all powdered, shuffling and mincing, saying, as he entered the room,''Do you want me, Sir?'' |
52189 | Is this your boasted freedom?" |
52189 | On being asked if he would sell him--"What will you give me?" |
52189 | Seeing him look very miserable, I asked him what was the matter? |
52189 | Seeing my friend quite delighted with the contemplation of this rich scene, I asked him, with some exultation, what he thought of it? |
52189 | The breathless Yûsuph was the first who reached his father:''Where is my horse and my sword?'' |
52189 | The enraged squire sent for Abdûlla:''You blockhead,''said he,''what have you been about? |
52189 | The mehmandar immediately called to a young woman of handsome appearance, and asked her in Turkish if she was a soldier''s daughter? |
52189 | The princess rose, went to her husband, and said,''There, Ahmed, what do you think of the success of my calculations?'' |
52189 | The very thought alarmed him; and he turned to his kind friend, and asked if he could not recommend a suitable animal? |
52189 | There you see Sûlimân Khan Kajir, and several other of the first chiefs of the kingdom-- I can cut all their heads off: can I not?" |
52189 | They appear a lively, intelligent race-- can they be insensible to their comparatively wretched condition? |
52189 | Was ever man more cruel than Aga Mahomed Khan? |
52189 | What could poor Ahmed do? |
52189 | What could you expect?" |
52189 | What protection can be more effectual than this? |
52189 | What, my dear father, are high rank or brilliant talents without religion and virtue? |
52189 | When he had placed him safe on the opposite shore, he turned to him and said,''Are not you the most wicked and ungrateful of reptiles? |
52189 | When the Turk approached the throne, Nadir, assuming his fiercest look, and exerting his voice to the utmost, said,"What do you desire of me?" |
52189 | When they were dividing the spoil, I was called to an eminence where the chief stood:''What property have you got my little fellow?'' |
52189 | Where have you acquired such a comeliness? |
52189 | Who can afford it? |
52189 | Why( said he, with animation), what can you expect from men who are ignorant of the surface of the globe? |
52189 | [ 94] Een kârkhâneh cheh fâideh; berâe sipâhee cheh zeroor sewâe neezeh wa dil? |
52189 | and how came you by that glorious strength?'' |
52189 | and night after night, without ever once being mistaken? |
52189 | and what have they done with my gold and jewels?'' |
52189 | are the people rich? |
52189 | are they happy?'' |
52189 | are you also a fool? |
52189 | by what means am I to find them?'' |
52189 | did not his wanton atrocities exceed all belief? |
52189 | ever enable me to go to the Hemmân like the wife of the chief astrologer? |
52189 | have they no envy, no desire for improvement?" |
52189 | is it a fine country? |
52189 | said I,"could he venture to take him from you?" |
52189 | said I;"did you inquire after her?" |
52189 | says he, quite pitiful,''are you the poor fellow who has suffered so much? |
52189 | she exclaimed,''have I not the sacred claims of a neighbour upon you; are we not linked in the ties of kindred? |
52189 | what can a soldier want beyond a spear and a heart? |
52189 | what prevents your giving a proof of friendship, by taking me with you when next you visit the palace? |
52189 | what success?'' |
52189 | when I contemplate this, in a dream or awake? |
52189 | with such usages how can they attain that knowledge of the world which is necessary to enable them to perform their duties?" |
52189 | you must be mistaken; do you mean such piastres as these?'' |
8699 | And was it more noisy than at Marbeeshoo? |
8699 | And what do you, want of Joshua? |
8699 | Are you allowed to use your own books? |
8699 | Are you willing? |
8699 | But have you not forsaken some of your church fasts? |
8699 | But have you not left the books of your fathers? |
8699 | But may it not be in that Bethel? |
8699 | But where is that other dear friend of our school[ Dr. Grant], who was the beautiful staff of her support? 8699 But why do you want to die?" |
8699 | Can you work, or have you become Ingleez? |
8699 | Could ye not watch with me one hour? |
8699 | Did it make much noise? |
8699 | Do these ladies let you see your friends? |
8699 | Do you fast? |
8699 | Do you not think that I too can pray? |
8699 | Do you pray, Heleneh? |
8699 | Has Miss Fiske taught you this? |
8699 | Have you finished? |
8699 | Have you had bad news? |
8699 | I have dreamed a dream, dear friends-- may I relate it? 8699 May I tell God just what is in my heart?" |
8699 | No, not very; why do you ask? |
8699 | Shall I remember you by this? |
8699 | Then I saw those whom I had led into sin and encouraged in unbelief, and said to them,''Can you forgive me?'' 8699 Was it deep and wide?" |
8699 | Was there much water in it? |
8699 | Were you at prayers? |
8699 | Were you late? |
8699 | What are we, that the Lord should choose us from the midst of such darkness, and send you to us with the message of life? 8699 What are your prayers?" |
8699 | What do we know? 8699 What do you do here?" |
8699 | What do you do when at home? |
8699 | What is it? |
8699 | What word of fitting love can I write, and how tell you what God has done? 8699 Why do you ask?" |
8699 | Why not go, then? |
8699 | Why, did you not enjoy it? |
8699 | Why? 8699 Will Christ sustain us to the last? |
8699 | Would your teachers allow you to fast? |
8699 | Yes,said Mr. Stocking,"but if the fires of hell could be out, you would not be troubled-- would you?" |
8699 | or that one? |
8699 | or that other? |
8699 | ''Are you sure that you have not forsaken him in all these years?'' |
8699 | ''Can no one help me? |
8699 | ''Can you not cry,"Lord, remember me,"like the dying malefactor?'' |
8699 | ''Can you not pray?'' |
8699 | ''Have you kept up secret prayer during all these years?'' |
8699 | ''How is it that I have not known it?'' |
8699 | ''How long have you thought so?'' |
8699 | ''Is it God''s fault, or yours?'' |
8699 | ''O Eli, Eli, why speak to her thus? |
8699 | ''O Lord, how long?'' |
8699 | ''Then you know some as Christians?'' |
8699 | ''What can I do in such distress?'' |
8699 | ''Why fear or sorrow, when Christ has overcome both death and sin?'' |
8699 | Am I not better to thee than ten sons?'' |
8699 | Among other things, she asked,"Is it true, that for one sin Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden?" |
8699 | And can we live?" |
8699 | And now, to whom shall I look to help me in this matter? |
8699 | And what shall we tell you of the wonders God showed us among those poor women? |
8699 | Are there other sisters of like faith, who believe in the only Mediator?'' |
8699 | As I listened in anguish, I cried aloud,''Is there no hope for me?'' |
8699 | As my weeping mother wiped the cold sweat from my brow, she gently whispered,''Where is my child going?'' |
8699 | As the blows fell thick and fast, he cried,"Must this come from my own father?" |
8699 | As they spoke of old friends, Yonan asked,"Heleneh, do you remember where our Lord was crucified?" |
8699 | At once his eyes filled, and he said,"You once helped me in a worse road; may I not now help you?" |
8699 | At one meeting in the Male Seminary, the young men burst into tears while singing the hymn,"Alas, and did my Saviour bleed?" |
8699 | At times, the anguish of some for sin was so overpowering, that the question,"Can a woman forget her sucking child?" |
8699 | Both were bright stars, but where is the people on whom they shone? |
8699 | But another said,"May I tell you alone?" |
8699 | But how? |
8699 | But if such houses were comfortless abodes for those in health, what were they for the sick? |
8699 | But we hear the voice of Eli:''How long wilt thou be drunken?'' |
8699 | But what shall I say of our poor people? |
8699 | But where shall we find them? |
8699 | But why? |
8699 | But would they be allowed to spend the night on the mission premises? |
8699 | Can I ever forget the fervent supplications and preaching of blessed Mr. Stocking, and how he begged us to flee from the wrath to come? |
8699 | Can I forget_ Calvary?_"as though grieved that he should think she could forget. |
8699 | Can I go and confess it to- night, and pray with her, and then may I go and work for money to replace them?" |
8699 | Can I see her?" |
8699 | Can we bear, dear sisters, to see the deadly wings of Satan''s kingdom spread out and destroy those bought by the precious blood of Christ? |
8699 | Can we forget her prayers with some of us the week she left us? |
8699 | Can we never again point her to Jesus?'' |
8699 | Can we not do something for souls? |
8699 | Can you do nothing for me?'' |
8699 | Could she open it? |
8699 | Did you ever see one that had wealth? |
8699 | Did you think that we would not love her? |
8699 | Do Christians in this country realize as they ought the connection between their prayers and the blessings bestowed on the opposite side of the globe? |
8699 | Do you inquire for the source of all this loveliness? |
8699 | Do you not wish to see me?'' |
8699 | Father, father, I am going; can you do nothing?'' |
8699 | For example: after reading the history of the creation( for she began at the beginning), she asked,"Who was the first man?" |
8699 | Grant?" |
8699 | Guwergis now cried out,''Women, where are you? |
8699 | Guwergis spoke up,''We have butter: what shall we cook in it for the bride?'' |
8699 | Has he left the least thing undone for you?'' |
8699 | Have you repented? |
8699 | He asks Hannah to go with him: not in a voice of harsh command, but in love he said,''Will you go?'' |
8699 | He said,''Why weep? |
8699 | He talks with my father, saying,"How can you give your daughter to the Papists? |
8699 | He was asked,"Have you and your wife chosen the good part?" |
8699 | His stripes, his anguish, his crucifixion,--were they not for you? |
8699 | How can I ever forget the first night that you met me, after the Lord had touched my heart, in that blessed room? |
8699 | How can I forget you? |
8699 | How can we sleep until forgiven?" |
8699 | How could they leave their Christian home, and the means of grace they had enjoyed so much? |
8699 | How do the daughters of the Oroomiah schools mourn, and their eyes run down with water, because Miss Fiske is far from them?'' |
8699 | How, then, could the Nestorians be induced to send their daughters to schools? |
8699 | I am a Demas; and with such agony now, what will be the wrath to come?'' |
8699 | I asked her,''Did you ever do any thing for your little girl that you remember now with gratitude?'' |
8699 | I asked her,''Do you pray with your children? |
8699 | I asked one,''What is the distance between you and God?'' |
8699 | I commenced:''Do you think yourself a Christian?'' |
8699 | I did not want to leave them, but I did ask, Can the image of Christ ever be reflected from such hearts? |
8699 | I earnestly pressed these questions: What do you think of yourself? |
8699 | I heard him ask,''How long shall those precious souls, redeemed by thy blood, be led astray? |
8699 | I said,''Are there any Christians in our village?'' |
8699 | I said,''Do you think you love the Saviour?'' |
8699 | I said,''Is this death-- that which we poor mortals fear?'' |
8699 | I said,''You have ever shown great love; can you not help me now?'' |
8699 | I then looked on another, noted for his wickedness, and said,''Beloved, did not Christ come for you? |
8699 | I turned to my mother:''There is no love like a mother''s; can that do nothing for me now?'' |
8699 | If Jonah mourned over the gourd for which he had not labored, how shall not you mourn after those for whom you have labored? |
8699 | If all were Christians, what might we not see? |
8699 | If but one of us reach that place, will you deem your labor in vain? |
8699 | If he is so bold here, what will he be in the mountains?" |
8699 | In a voice unlike all I ever heard before, he said,''Slayer of my Son, despiser of my grace, what hast thou done? |
8699 | In answer to the usual inquiry,"From whence do you come?" |
8699 | In short, on which side are you? |
8699 | Instantly a woman called out,"And have you heard those deceivers preach?" |
8699 | Is it strange that, as the slips of paper fell at her feet, her heart was moved? |
8699 | Is there another Miss Fiske in your country? |
8699 | Is there no ray of light for her in the darkness? |
8699 | It was a frequent remark,"We all lie here; do you think we could succeed in business without it?" |
8699 | May I give you one of the Master''s sermons? |
8699 | May I not fly on the wings of love, and destroy that city of blasphemy on the seven hills, that the glory may be thine?'' |
8699 | Miss Fiske would begin by saying,"Is not that a pretty name? |
8699 | Must I leave you all, forever? |
8699 | Must she see another face that night? |
8699 | My father then asked,''Do you suffer much''?'' |
8699 | My friends asked,''Has he no terrors for you?'' |
8699 | My poor mother interposed,''But are you willing to leave us?'' |
8699 | My teacher now cried,''We had hoped to see our dear pupil passing over to the new Jerusalem; but, instead of that, must she dwell among the lost?'' |
8699 | No one asked,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
8699 | No wonder she now inwardly exclaimed,"What hath God wrought? |
8699 | One came to Miss Fiske in great distress, saying,"Do you remember the day, two years ago, when Sawdee''s new shoes were taken from the door?" |
8699 | One day he came to the teachers, saying,"I have a petition to make; will you receive it?" |
8699 | One little girl said,"Did you ever see a new- born lamb cast into the snow and live? |
8699 | One of them wept bitterly when asked if she was willing to forsake every sin, saying,"What shall I do? |
8699 | Perhaps you will reply, in your cheerful way,''Do you feel so? |
8699 | Sanum and Sarah lingered behind the rest; and as they drew near, she asked,"Did you not understand me?" |
8699 | Shall I ever forget the Lord''s coming among us by the still rain of the Holy Spirit? |
8699 | Shall I never see your face again-- that face, which bore to us more than a mother''s love? |
8699 | Shall not such a woman be praised? |
8699 | Shall we come in and bathe your feet? |
8699 | Shall we ever find a better time than when so many are praying for us?" |
8699 | Shall we not also prepare the way of the Lord? |
8699 | Shall we not believe that the fruits of his labors have sprung up among us? |
8699 | She placed her hand in his, looked up in his face, and answered his''Is Christ become beautiful?'' |
8699 | She staid till a voice seemed to say, What doest thou here, Elijah? |
8699 | She took me from my horse, exclaiming,''Is it true that you have come? |
8699 | Should a voice come from the mountains to- day, calling for preachers, would they give their sons to go and save the lost? |
8699 | So, as many of them were strangers to the cleansing properties of water, they would ask again and again,"How do you make them so white?" |
8699 | Some might have cried out, when her fine intellect and rare acquirements were devoted to the missionary work,"Why is this waste of the ointment made?" |
8699 | Still no reply; but when they got near enough, they whispered,"May we have to- day to care for our souls?" |
8699 | Struck by the languor of her teacher''s looks, she inquired tenderly,"Are you very tired?" |
8699 | The catechist went on:"Have you seen the same river on the plain?" |
8699 | The disease made rapid progress, and again she said,"I am very sick; I shall die soon: shall we not pray together?" |
8699 | The leader could only ask,"Who will pray?" |
8699 | The next question was,"What does it mean?" |
8699 | The will of the Lord was her will, and what evil could befall her? |
8699 | Then did she not seek a corner of the court where she might pray? |
8699 | Then ought we not to mourn over this people, lost and fallen under the yoke of Satan? |
8699 | Then to whom shall I look, as the instrument to do this work? |
8699 | Then, shall we think no more of it? |
8699 | Then, where are they? |
8699 | Then, where is he? |
8699 | There was no time in which they did not cry, with tears,''What shall we do?'' |
8699 | They said,"Can we not have one more prayer meeting before you leave?" |
8699 | They would say,''What shall we do? |
8699 | Was it not like an angel''s? |
8699 | We find Yonan putting this question to a communicant:"Do you and M. live pleasantly together?" |
8699 | We have certainly received freely: have we given any thing? |
8699 | We have grown fat; and how long shall we lie under the quilts?'' |
8699 | What can we say to you, dear Mrs. Stoddard, who are shrouded in a cloud that is very dark? |
8699 | What could she do? |
8699 | What is your dependence for salvation? |
8699 | What meant this simultaneous movement to the mercy seat? |
8699 | What overcame this strong national prejudice? |
8699 | What shall I do? |
8699 | What shall I do? |
8699 | What shall we do? |
8699 | What was the matter? |
8699 | What were her feelings when she looked round on twenty- three, sitting with their heads bowed down in silence? |
8699 | What will become of you and me, who have sinned so often?" |
8699 | When shall I see him as he is, and be filled with his love?'' |
8699 | When she first came to Christ, her teacher was awakened one morning by her asking at the bedside,"Is it wrong to wish to die?" |
8699 | Who am I, that I should be raised from companionship with sin to the society of heaven? |
8699 | Who does not admire that grace which, in this missionary age, raised up such a type of piety to be diffused over the globe? |
8699 | Who will rise among us to carry forward the kingdom of our Christ? |
8699 | Why was she thus loved? |
8699 | Why were my associates, once, like me, children of wrath, now in heaven, while I was shut out? |
8699 | Why, then, treat him so ill? |
8699 | Will he be with us through the dark valley? |
8699 | Will he come for us and receive us to himself, as he promised?" |
8699 | Will our mothers follow the example of Hannah? |
8699 | Yet what shall this people do? |
8699 | and if separations are so trying here, what must be those of the last day? |
8699 | and on being told that it was so,"There,"said she, turning to the unconcerned neighbor, who had come with her,"do you hear that? |
8699 | and when shall I see my blessed Saviour?" |
8699 | and why eatest thou not? |
8699 | and why is thy heart grieved? |
8699 | and will you not send them to our little school?" |
8699 | are you sick?" |
8699 | from one who never remembered to have seen the light? |
8699 | or how many times you took me by the hand, and led me to the throne of grace? |
8699 | or how, when she took our hand for the last time, she said,''The blessing of the Lord rest upon you''? |
8699 | or those meetings of the sisters for prayer? |
8699 | or those tearful pleadings in the closets? |
8699 | or,"Who could endure a dish like that?''" |
8699 | saying,''Hannah, why weepest thou? |
8699 | twice in the week?" |
8699 | when shall I see him? |
36301 | ''But pray inform me, my lord and master, when and how I have given you any cause of complaint? 36301 ''But, my child,''said the king,''if by chance some one should present himself, and reply to your questions?'' |
36301 | ''What has happened?'' 36301 ''What is the matter, my dear husband? |
36301 | ''What is the matter? 36301 ''_ Do_ I love him?'' |
36301 | Ah, my lord,said he,"where are we, and to what state am I reduced?" |
36301 | Ah,cried he,"weak worms, what have you presumed to do? |
36301 | And pray,I asked in reply,"what are you doing at Candahar, and why have you left the court of Persia? |
36301 | And the others,replied Hadgi- Achmet;"couldst not thou, if necessary, dispose of them, and buy others with the price?" |
36301 | And thou, woman,said the dey,"dost thou still maintain that thy husband leaves thee in want of nourishment?" |
36301 | And who lives,I asked,"in the palace at the end of the plain?" |
36301 | Are there not, then, many honest men who are no richer than myself? |
36301 | Art thou poor? |
36301 | But tell me,returned Lin- pao,"why do n''t you still wear a white head- dress? |
36301 | But thou,rejoined Selim,"if thou hadst aught to give away, what wouldst thou do?" |
36301 | But, madam,I replied,"why give way to such gloomy presentiments at the very time when your presence brings me such delight?" |
36301 | But,resumed king Bahaman,"night is coming on, and still the king of the genii does not appear; can he have forsaken us?" |
36301 | By what means,he said,"can any person, however ingenious and daring, enter this fortress? |
36301 | Can any man on earth do this? |
36301 | Can she wish to be an eye- witness of my death, and does she desire to have me assassinated before the eyes of her father? 36301 Can these things be removed?" |
36301 | Can you propose to us that we should live at the expense of your liberty? 36301 Do they not already kill each other by sea and by land?" |
36301 | Do what you like,replied the king;"but what answer shall we send the caliph?" |
36301 | Do you know,he said,"that a subject who has the audacity to lie to his master merits death?" |
36301 | Do you mean to say that all men have some secret anxiety preying on their minds, because you appear in that state? 36301 Do you see all these bones?" |
36301 | Does that prove that it would be wrong to do so? |
36301 | Dost thou require much? |
36301 | Father,said Haroun,"is it true that there is in this city a young man called Aboulcassem, who surpasses even kings in magnificence and generosity?" |
36301 | From what country do you come? |
36301 | Has any misfortune happened to you? |
36301 | Has your life returned to you? |
36301 | Have you also a place where I can put my horse? |
36301 | Have you ever heard of this unfortunate El Kattab before? |
36301 | How is it,replied Khalaf,"that she is such a source of grief to him?" |
36301 | How is it,said the prince, raising him, and placing him on a sofa,"that you are still alive? |
36301 | How much do you ask? |
36301 | I asked you,said Tourandocte,"what tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?" |
36301 | I thought that no plant was ever to be found on those mountain tops covered with perpetual snow and frost? |
36301 | I will suppose that I may enjoy the longest of lives, a hundred years for example, thinkest thou I shall live yet longer? |
36301 | I? 36301 If I am not more successful than this,"thought he,"how am I to support my father and mother?" |
36301 | If I made the fortune of my son, instead of that of my friend,said he at length to himself,"should I be guilty? |
36301 | In this wall? |
36301 | Is it then true,exclaimed the caliph,"that the happiness of all is a dream? |
36301 | Is not your name Aswad? |
36301 | Is this young prince mad,they whispered one to another,"to risk the loss of that for which he perilled his life? |
36301 | It is something, nevertheless,replied Selim,"and wilt thou tell me what is necessary to be done, in order to add fifty years to one''s existence?" |
36301 | It may be; but will it be good in practice? 36301 Merciful Heaven,"cried Khalaf, when he recovered from his stupefaction,"did I hear aright? |
36301 | Must I believe,said he,"what I have just heard? |
36301 | My dear friend,said he,"how old is your son?" |
36301 | My father,cried he,"is it so indeed? |
36301 | My lord,replied Tourandocte,"why do you think that I shall not be able to reply to the question of this prince? |
36301 | My lord,said she,"what is it you propose to your daughter? |
36301 | My lord,said she,"whence this violent transport which agitates you, and what do those words mean which you have just spoken?" |
36301 | My thought is a good one then? |
36301 | Of what use is our flight? |
36301 | Of what use will thy doubloons be to thee when thou art dead? 36301 On what dost thou muse?" |
36301 | Poor creature,said Medjeddin,"what is the matter? |
36301 | Prince,I said to him,"could you possibly think that I would refuse to help you in the embarrassing situation in which you were placed on my account? |
36301 | Prince,said he,"have you reflected upon the words which have just escaped your lips?" |
36301 | Prince,said he,"why did you not come at once to me? |
36301 | The prince Mesoud? |
36301 | Then thou desirest not to prolong thy days upon the earth? 36301 Then thou wilt not consent to give me the third of what I know to be here, hidden though it may be?" |
36301 | Then why not diminish thy transactions, and live in peace? |
36301 | Thou wouldst change the order of things, the whole course of nature? |
36301 | Well then,said Tourandocte,"tell me what creature is that which belongs to every land, is a friend to the whole world, and will not brook an equal?" |
36301 | Well, and the result? |
36301 | Well, my daughter,he said,"have you seen the treasure?" |
36301 | Well, my lord,said Zemroude,"do you think the cadi has much reason to be satisfied with his work? |
36301 | Well, prince,began Altoun- Khan,"am I to rejoice or grieve at your presence here to- day? |
36301 | Well,he continued,"since you knew that, why have you committed the greatest of all crimes?" |
36301 | Well,said Selim,"what has befallen thee? |
36301 | Well,said the Jew,"what sayest thou? |
36301 | Well,said the monarch,"have you done what I commanded you?" |
36301 | What ails you, madam? |
36301 | What am I about to do? |
36301 | What can be the design of the princess? |
36301 | What can be the reason, my angel,said he,"that your father prevents your marrying? |
36301 | What crime have I committed? |
36301 | What do you say, my son? |
36301 | What do you say, my son? |
36301 | What have you done, my lord? |
36301 | What is it, madam? |
36301 | What is it? 36301 What is that mother,"resumed the princess,"who, after having brought her children into the world, devours them when they are grown up?" |
36301 | What is the matter, my lord? |
36301 | What man,said he,"is entirely master over his own thoughts? |
36301 | What matters it,I said,"whether I die of thirst or of poison?" |
36301 | What obligations am I not under to you? |
36301 | What on earth is all this to end in? |
36301 | What profits it to meditate so deeply upon a thing which all the reflections of man can not change? |
36301 | What sayest thou? |
36301 | What sayst thou? |
36301 | What was his name? |
36301 | What wilt thou do to effect my cure? |
36301 | What, now, fakir,asked I,"do you view my happy condition with chagrin? |
36301 | What,exclaimed Medjeddin in astonishment,"in his pocket!--how can that be?" |
36301 | What,he asked,"was the colour of the girdle which contained your money, and of what material was it made?" |
36301 | Who is the man of whom you make this complaint? |
36301 | Why am I still in the world? |
36301 | Why have you treated my nightingale thus? 36301 Why should you be afraid to tell them? |
36301 | Why then,said the vizir,"did you pretend not to know him at Ormus?" |
36301 | Why,asked Bahaman, when his enemy was brought before him,"why have you advanced into my dominions against all right and reason? |
36301 | Will I tell thee? |
36301 | With whom dost thou decree that Ormed shall remain? 36301 Wretch,"said the cadi,"what dost thou take me for? |
36301 | You are in a great hurry,she remarked;"what can it be that obliges you to walk so fast?" |
36301 | ''Am I just made a bridegroom, clothed in silk, wearing a shawl and a dagger set with diamonds, and am I to go and shut the door? |
36301 | ''Do you ask whether the ant beneath your feet has a right to complain? |
36301 | ''What signifies it, whether we die in a stable or on a throne? |
36301 | A neighbour, who heard me calling out in an agony of despair, opened her door, and said to me,"Hassan Abdallah, is that you? |
36301 | And do you seriously think of carrying it into effect?" |
36301 | And what does he give me in return? |
36301 | And why? |
36301 | Are they not creditable to you?" |
36301 | Are we the first princes whom the rod of justice has struck? |
36301 | Are we to become the object of the inquiries and suspicions of the police?" |
36301 | Are you a beggar, and do you need any gift? |
36301 | Are you now in a fit state to resist all attempts to make you disclose your secret? |
36301 | Are you strong enough to support the highest joy that your heart can feel or conceive?" |
36301 | Art thou content?" |
36301 | As I concealed the clothes, he said to me,"My brother, what have you got there hid under your cloak?" |
36301 | Aswad, where was your discretion? |
36301 | At length the lady Wang went to the door, and standing behind it without opening it, asked,"Who is knocking there, and making such a disturbance?" |
36301 | At these words Firouzshah appeared thunderstruck, and then addressing Zelica, he inquired,"Who then is the prince who is your father?" |
36301 | At these words Yang at first appeared confused, and changed colour; then, assuming a more confident expression,"What are you thinking of?" |
36301 | Besides, how do you know that I shall not be able to reply to her questions? |
36301 | But I ask you, princess, ought I thus to steal away from Altoun- Khan? |
36301 | But come, hast thou decided? |
36301 | But dost thou not see that it is wise to be at peace with thy brother, and that to obtain this peace there is no sacrifice too great? |
36301 | But has he got a son? |
36301 | But how is a private individual able to make such presents? |
36301 | But in what did his riches consist? |
36301 | But speak, what is the cause of your affliction?" |
36301 | But tell me how is it? |
36301 | But what could I do in my cage? |
36301 | But what do I say? |
36301 | But what had become of the inhabitants? |
36301 | But what profit would this be to me?" |
36301 | But who can say or know what is really a good or an evil? |
36301 | But who shall describe her ecstasies of joy when her son was presented to her? |
36301 | But why wish to purchase me? |
36301 | By what good luck do I find you here?" |
36301 | By what scourge had they been cut off, or what reason had induced them to quit so beautiful a city? |
36301 | Can I refuse to obey it?" |
36301 | Can he have changed his mind, and issued the order for my death?" |
36301 | Can she carry her cruelty thus far? |
36301 | Can the death of the princess Zelica have driven you away as it did me?" |
36301 | Can the king be an accomplice in the deed? |
36301 | Can you be sure that I shall not be able to answer the questions that may be put to me? |
36301 | Can you tell me where the sheik Hassan Abdallah, the son of El- Achaar, resides in the city?" |
36301 | Can you tell me why this street is so quiet, as though every inhabitant were dead?" |
36301 | Conducting me into a very elegant apartment, he asked me,"What is your name?" |
36301 | Do you call it_ possessing_ a treasure if it must not be touched? |
36301 | Do you know the peril to which you may expose her? |
36301 | Do you love Aswad sufficiently to make so great a sacrifice?'' |
36301 | Do you really believe this to be the truth?" |
36301 | Do you take me for a dishonest man, or imagine that my purse is empty?" |
36301 | Do you think I shall soon spend all this?" |
36301 | Do you think me so unjust, that I shall take it from you?" |
36301 | Do you think to impose upon me? |
36301 | Do you wish to see us die with hunger?" |
36301 | Does he imagine he can propose a question that will be too difficult for Tourandocte to solve? |
36301 | Does it depend upon men themselves to be happy or unhappy? |
36301 | Dost thou dare thus to treat me who have it in my power to revenge myself on my enemies; me who, when I please, can put the like of thee in fetters? |
36301 | Exerting all her ingenuity, she next asked,"What tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?" |
36301 | Hadgi- Achmet turned to the other brother:"Farzan, canst thou not yield to thy brother the amulet he wishes to possess?" |
36301 | Hadgi- Achmet, addressing himself to Chamyl, said,"In what does thy fortune consist?" |
36301 | Haroun was offended at this, and said to himself,"What does all this mean? |
36301 | Hast thou not children, and are not children much dearer than a friend?" |
36301 | Have I said or done any thing to cause your tears to flow? |
36301 | He asked her a thousand questions; what were the customs of the inhabitants of the city? |
36301 | He is now at hand: does your majesty wish him to be introduced to your presence?" |
36301 | He then proceeded to relate to him the events of his journey, and ended by asking,"Giafar, what shall I do? |
36301 | Here are the twenty täels that my friend Tchin has given me; can I do better than employ them towards the maintenance of some virtuous bonzes? |
36301 | How can I be sufficiently grateful for so many favours? |
36301 | How could she conceive so base a project?" |
36301 | How long ago was it inhabited? |
36301 | How much dost thou demand for thy reward?" |
36301 | How ought I to distribute the half of my large fortune?" |
36301 | How then can I surpass him in generosity?" |
36301 | I am also informed that you keep concealed at home a daughter of an age to marry; is that true?" |
36301 | I am suddenly become very rich, as thou knowest, and I have no son to inherit my wealth; is it not too great for a single solitary man? |
36301 | I could explain to you all these mysteries; but to what purpose? |
36301 | I have not wherewith to continue my journey to that town, will you be so charitable as to lend me three täels? |
36301 | I said, weeping,"is this indeed a thing so easy for me? |
36301 | I thought; can this be some new misfortune that has befallen me? |
36301 | I told you a thousand times that she would not suit you; you would not believe-- whose fault is it?" |
36301 | If God has the power to pluck off crowns, has He not also the power to restore them? |
36301 | If I cure thee what will be my profit? |
36301 | If there were any intention of making you marry again, do you think there would be any difficulty? |
36301 | If this business is hurried on, how shall I be able to inform them of it? |
36301 | If thou discoverest another still more marvellous, thou wilt give it me, at least for my own use, wilt thou not?" |
36301 | If you did not wish him to live, why did you restore him to life?" |
36301 | In a word, is he a man to whose interests I could worthily attach myself?" |
36301 | In what way dost thou consider it would be most desirable to employ this wealth?" |
36301 | Is he afraid I want him to make me a present? |
36301 | Is he generous, and do you think that he would pay any regard to a young stranger, who might offer to serve him against his enemies? |
36301 | Is it not Allah that spins the thread of our destiny? |
36301 | Is it not also true that the king himself used all his endeavours to dissuade you from your rash resolution?" |
36301 | Is it not in hopes of making them more happy that I am about to expose my life? |
36301 | Is it possible that it is you I have met here?" |
36301 | Is it possible that the princess of China could be guilty of such an atrocious attempt? |
36301 | Is it the secret of making gold?" |
36301 | Is it thus that you show the submission you owe to the decrees of Heaven? |
36301 | Is not a son nearer and dearer than all the friends in the world? |
36301 | Is not this unexpected good fortune, a blessing from Heaven? |
36301 | Is the question the prince has proposed so difficult, that you can not answer it? |
36301 | Is your majesty quite contented?" |
36301 | It is of no use to say to a poor man like me,''To whom wouldst thou give thy money?'' |
36301 | May I be so bold in return to inquire to whom I have the honour of speaking?" |
36301 | Merciful Heaven, is it the lot of all those who look upon this portrait to become enamoured of this inhuman princess? |
36301 | My dear bird, my little husband, why art thou taken from, me so soon? |
36301 | Nevertheless, I desire not to sell the powder, but may I bestow it, and at once, upon one or two men whom I esteem highly?" |
36301 | Of what account are fifty years added to sixty or eighty, soon to be over for me? |
36301 | Of what avail is it that these walls are built of precious stones? |
36301 | Of what benefit would money got by such means be to me?" |
36301 | Of what have I been guilty?'' |
36301 | On my way to the palace I said to myself,"Firouzshah has no doubt discovered my correspondence with Zelica; but how can he have learned it?" |
36301 | On the sixteenth day my guest, after chatting on indifferent matters, said to me,"Hassan, would you like to sell yourself to me?" |
36301 | Ought you to have feared an ungracious reception? |
36301 | Possessed of gold, what can we not enjoy? |
36301 | Pray what are the contents of this chest?" |
36301 | Regrettest thou what has been taken from thy shop? |
36301 | Shall I succeed in my purpose? |
36301 | Since this prince has answered your questions satisfactorily, I ask all this assembly if it is not right that you should become his wife?" |
36301 | Speak, and reply exactly and truly to my questions:--When you came to Candahar, were you not told that I was a severe punisher of criminals?" |
36301 | Tchin thought to himself,"Where should I find a man of such probity as Lin- in? |
36301 | The book of wisdom is now useless; what man is there who does not think himself wise?" |
36301 | The khan then said to him,"Thou appearest to be a stranger amongst us; where wast thou born, and what is thy profession?" |
36301 | The king then said,"Who are you? |
36301 | The officer, at these words, regarding him with astonishment, said to him,"Prince, do you know that you come to seek death? |
36301 | Then he said,"Mahmoud, dost thou declare that thou affordest sufficient nourishment to thy wife?" |
36301 | There, near the Indies, is a high mountain, Mount Himalaya-- dost thou not know it?" |
36301 | Thy wife and thy sons, are they ill? |
36301 | To live fifty years longer than usual, what is that?" |
36301 | We are too fortunate not to be molested by these monsters; why should we go in search of them?" |
36301 | What alarm can all the princes of the world, to say nothing of Cacem, occasion to the father- in- law of the king of the genii? |
36301 | What am I to think? |
36301 | What are you come to tell me?'' |
36301 | What can detain her so long at her father''s? |
36301 | What can have happened? |
36301 | What can his motive be?" |
36301 | What certainty have you that I shall perish? |
36301 | What clothes are these you appear in? |
36301 | What could he intend to do? |
36301 | What good would that do? |
36301 | What has happened? |
36301 | What has taken place?'' |
36301 | What have I done to deserve such punishment from Heaven?" |
36301 | What injury shall I do him by taking the chandelier? |
36301 | What is the good of throwing oneself into the water before the ship is really going to pieces?" |
36301 | What is your determination?" |
36301 | What king could have possessed such riches? |
36301 | What man would not be terrified at the condition without which he can not hope to obtain her? |
36301 | What precious stones do you speak of that we have belonging to you?" |
36301 | What prince would be mad enough to face such danger?'' |
36301 | What provocation have I given you for making war against me?" |
36301 | What shall I write to the caliph?" |
36301 | What tongue can express to you the gratitude I feel for so great an honour? |
36301 | What will be his grief when he knows that he has conferred such a benefit upon his enemy? |
36301 | What would he think of me? |
36301 | When I related the strange proposal of my guest, my mother said,"What can this man want to do with you?" |
36301 | When she confesses to you that you are dear to her, how will you receive such a glorious avowal? |
36301 | When the Arab saw me, he said,"Is this what you promised me? |
36301 | When they arrived, he said to them,"What were you disputing about, my friends, when I passed you?" |
36301 | Where would it be possible for her to meet with one more perfectly worthy of her?" |
36301 | Who are you who can promise this?" |
36301 | Who are you?" |
36301 | Why do you not show me your treasure? |
36301 | Why give way to this transport of fury? |
36301 | Why have you risked the danger of losing the object of your love?" |
36301 | Why have you torn me away from my poor but peaceful home?" |
36301 | Why is it that he is now the fortunate owner of this treasure of treasures? |
36301 | Why not therefore endeavour to prolong thine own? |
36301 | Why persevere in the pursuit of an inhuman creature whom thou wilt never be able to obtain? |
36301 | Why was it ordained that you should come to lodge in my house? |
36301 | Why will you not do it yourself? |
36301 | Why, have I often asked myself, should our lives be shorter than those of an oak of the forests, of a serpent, or even of a vulture?" |
36301 | Will you become one of our fraternity? |
36301 | Will your love for me hold out against the honour of having the affections of the first princess in the world?" |
36301 | Wilt thou enter into partnership with me?" |
36301 | Would it not be better to keep this treasure for thyself and for thy sons? |
36301 | Would they not kill each other for want of room?" |
36301 | added he,"what will be thy grief when thou shalt be told of the extraordinary death of thy son? |
36301 | and who shall dare to carry thee the news?" |
36301 | are you ill?" |
36301 | art thou sick, or dost thou return to me perishing of hunger?" |
36301 | asked I;"of what am I accused?" |
36301 | charming Tourandocte,"hereupon cried the prince of the Nagäis,"is it possible that you entertain such favourable sentiments towards me? |
36301 | cried he;"ought I to disclose to my eyes so dangerous an object? |
36301 | cried she,"by what good fortune did you recover our dear child, whom I thought we had lost for ever?" |
36301 | cried the physician of Tunis,"is not life preferable to all the riches in the world? |
36301 | cruel daughter of the best of kings, is it thus that you abuse the gifts with which Heaven has endowed you? |
36301 | eagerly asked the widow,"what enterprise are you so rashly planning? |
36301 | exclaimed the Arab;"are you not Hassan Abdallah, and can you send away your guest by concealing your name?" |
36301 | exclaimed the cadi,"is it possible to marry such a monster as that?" |
36301 | exclaimed the lady,"whither does your love carry you? |
36301 | have I lied to thee, or deceived myself? |
36301 | have you become so much altered in the course of so few years? |
36301 | have you discovered any thing?'' |
36301 | have you found any thing? |
36301 | have you left off mourning?" |
36301 | have you then killed and robbed some one? |
36301 | he cried,"what are you doing? |
36301 | he replied, eyeing them with a threatening aspect,"what will you say, when I show you a certificate from the cadi of Ormus, proving the contrary?" |
36301 | he said,"is it to you I owe my life?" |
36301 | how can I escape his snares? |
36301 | how couldst thou confer on this barbarous princess so much beauty, or why adorn so inhuman a soul with so many charms?" |
36301 | how did you learn to break my charm in this manner? |
36301 | how has the time passed with you since our last interview?" |
36301 | how is it that you have told what I wished to conceal, if it were possible, even from myself? |
36301 | how many families Pekin was said to contain? |
36301 | how was it possible for him to get into my room? |
36301 | is not this street lonely enough, that you can not hold your discourse aloud? |
36301 | is that you, my eldest brother? |
36301 | must I confess it, cruel though the princess of China be, I could never find in my foolish heart to hate her? |
36301 | my dear child,"said he, patronizingly,"of what service can I be to you?" |
36301 | oh, king of the world, was it you who honoured your slave''s house?" |
36301 | resumed Tchin;"where else should I find such honesty and generosity?" |
36301 | said Aboulcassem,"is it possible so unworthy and cruel a father possesses such a daughter?" |
36301 | said I to myself;"and by whose orders can it be that this eunuch treats me in such a manner?" |
36301 | said I,"what is the nature of the secret? |
36301 | said Yousouf,"art thou mad? |
36301 | said he to himself,"how is this, that the cadi, my greatest enemy, is become so civil to me to- day? |
36301 | said he,"if I die, what will become of my father and mother?" |
36301 | said he,"what are you doing? |
36301 | said she;"what causes you to be thus agitated?" |
36301 | said the young man much surprised;"why this sudden grief? |
36301 | shall I receive from him such an act of kindness, and not be able to repay him? |
36301 | she asked,"and what fancies have you got into your head? |
36301 | she exclaimed,"what is the meaning of this change, and what has that man been saying to you?" |
36301 | she exclaimed;''am I, young, robed in a satin dress, with lace and precious stones, am I to go and shut the court- yard door? |
36301 | she said,"do you still bring back this basket? |
36301 | that this lattice is of fine gold, that this cage is of gold, and hangs on a golden chain? |
36301 | that what is joy to one, may be the cause of grief to another? |
36301 | what am I, and what have I done to deserve the honour of being your father- in- law?" |
36301 | what has Aswad done more than other men to deserve such an accumulation of good fortune?" |
36301 | what sayst thou?" |
36301 | what will become of us? |
36301 | where is your sister- in- law?" |
36301 | where? |
36301 | who are you, and where do you come from? |
36301 | who bid you destroy the cage?" |
36301 | who can foresee the consequences of things? |
36301 | why did I speak of Tourandocte? |
36301 | why had my master not my eyes when he took thee into his hands? |
36301 | why will they not leave me to live in peace without making attempts on my liberty? |
36301 | with his adopted or with his real father?" |
36301 | with the genius and penetration you possess, can you not accomplish it?" |
36301 | you say the enchanter brings his hateful son with him-- why, then, have I never seen him?" |
21331 | Am I a fool,answered the old man,"that I should dislike it? |
21331 | Are you a man,said he,"to treat a poor Emir like me in the manner you have done, as if my house was a charnel- house? |
21331 | Are your vile lips to defile the name of him who is the_ Alem penah_, the refuge of the world? 21331 As ye love your eyes,"exclaimed he,"who is there?" |
21331 | Do you call God''s viceregent upon earth, you old demi- stitching, demi- praying fool, an infidel dog? |
21331 | Do? |
21331 | Friend,said Mansouri,"what are you talking about? |
21331 | Have you burnt it? |
21331 | Have you thrown it away? |
21331 | Is it hiding at any other person''s house? |
21331 | Is it lying in your house? |
21331 | Then in the name of the Prophet what have you done with it? 21331 True, I said: what would you have more?" |
21331 | Well, Babadul,said Mansouri,"have you a mind for a job,--a good job?" |
21331 | Well, then, you agree to my proposal? |
21331 | What your name? |
21331 | Where is it, indeed? |
21331 | Where is it? |
21331 | Where is the Greek? |
21331 | Where is the head, the head of the Aga of the Janissaries? |
21331 | You are a tailor, are you not? |
21331 | After all, is he not a prince? |
21331 | Am I not a Mussulman like yourselves? |
21331 | Am not I the Banou of this harem? |
21331 | And my property, what is become of it? |
21331 | And their viziers also have their allotted portion: why should they refuse them? |
21331 | And what dog has done this deed? |
21331 | Are the Gins at work, that they should have brought this about? � � Yes, Hajji, � said she, very composedly, � fate is a wonderful thing. |
21331 | Are there Gins and Peris in this land? � � Are you such a novice, � answered the old woman, � not to know what that flower means? |
21331 | Are there Gins and Peris in this land? � � Are you such a novice, � answered the old woman, � not to know what that flower means? |
21331 | Are you an ass, that you should start at a shadow? |
21331 | Are you going to eat it?" |
21331 | Are you mad, oh Hakîm, or do you think me so? |
21331 | Are you mad, or are you become a gambler? � � God forgive me, � answered I, � I am neither a madman nor a gambler. |
21331 | As I continued to gaze upon her, she at length said, though still going on with her work, � Why do you look at me? |
21331 | As for instance, what do you possess here at Constantinople? |
21331 | As we stood at the window, the grand vizier said to the mollah Nadân, � In the name of Ali, what is this that we hear? |
21331 | But tell us first, � addressing himself to me, � what have you seen and done? |
21331 | But then, on the other hand, who made me so? |
21331 | But what could I do? |
21331 | But where should I stop, if I attempted to describe the numerous moving objects which attracted my attention? |
21331 | But who can withstand the decrees of destiny? |
21331 | But why weep at all? |
21331 | But why, � said I, � does this khanum �--(pointing to the unveiled one)-- � why does she hold me so long in suspense? |
21331 | But you, you who killed my husband, how came you to be a mollah? � � Is your husband dead, then, � said I, � that you talk to me thus? |
21331 | But you, you who killed my husband, how came you to be a mollah? � � Is your husband dead, then, � said I, � that you talk to me thus? |
21331 | But you,--what road do you intend to pursue? |
21331 | But, after all, what shall I do? � � What can I say? � answered I. |
21331 | But, after all, what shall I do? � � What can I say? � answered I. |
21331 | But, shall I own it? |
21331 | By my soul, tell me; where is the beast? � � � Friend, � answered my father, � what shall I say? |
21331 | By my soul, tell me; where is the beast? � � � Friend, � answered my father, � what shall I say? |
21331 | By the king � s beard, � said the king to Nadân, � tell me, do I stand for nothing in my own capital? |
21331 | Cadies, mufties, sheikh- el- islams, abound here as well as in other Mohamedan cities, and why should I not have recourse to them? |
21331 | Can I offer him five tomauns, and a pair of crimson_ shalwars_( trowsers)? � � What do I know, � said I, � what will satisfy him? |
21331 | Can I offer him five tomauns, and a pair of crimson_ shalwars_( trowsers)? � � What do I know, � said I, � what will satisfy him? |
21331 | Can not I fly from the horrid scene? |
21331 | Can not I rather run a dagger into my heart? |
21331 | Can we contend with fate? |
21331 | Can you tell me anything positive about Yengi duniah, the New World; for I have heard so many contradictory reports that my brain is bewildered? |
21331 | Did you bring home this dead man''s head to make a suit of clothes of?" |
21331 | Did you ever see so large a mouth? |
21331 | Did you never hear of the king who gave a famous poet a_ miscal_[18] of gold for every stanza which he composed? |
21331 | Do not you know that death is cold, and that blood is hot, and that the first principle of the art is to apply warm remedies to cold diseases? |
21331 | Do not you remark that they confirm every word by an oath? |
21331 | Do they care for any one of these things? |
21331 | Do you ever say your prayers? |
21331 | Do you take us for animals, without understanding, without common sense? |
21331 | Do you want to disgrace me, you filthy piece of flesh? |
21331 | Dogs did I say? |
21331 | Don � t you know that poets are sometimes very rich, and can, if they choose, become rich at all times, for they carry their wealth in their heads? |
21331 | Every son of Islâm has the blessed Koran as his refuge, and ye would not be such infidels as to deprive me of that? |
21331 | Family, did you say? |
21331 | From Kaiumars, the first king of the world, to me who am the present Shah, what list is so perfect, so glorious? |
21331 | Has a child of Ispahan( for such you are by your accent) been taken in by a Turk? |
21331 | Have you become a prophet? |
21331 | Have you brought the corn, or the ked khoda, which? � � I beg leave to state for your service, � said Shîr Ali, � neither. |
21331 | Have you not even saved my ass, for I am sorely tired of going on foot? |
21331 | Have your wits forsaken you? |
21331 | Having inspected each in turn, he paused, and keeping his eyes riveted upon me, turned to the doctor, and said, � What sort of thing is this? |
21331 | Having smoked two or three long whiffs, he said, � Where is this Armenian? |
21331 | He prefaced his information by saying, � But why trouble yourself? |
21331 | He spends at least five or six times that sum; and how is he to get it, if it flows not from the contributions of those who come under his cognizance? |
21331 | He swears by his own head, that he will make me the first example if I do not find out the culprit. � � What culprit? |
21331 | He therefore gently drew off the lid, when need I mention his horror and surprise at seeing a human head staring him in the face? |
21331 | How am I then to know you? |
21331 | How came I here? |
21331 | How came you to sleep in a fine bed? � said one. |
21331 | How did the head get there? |
21331 | How many guns, did you say, they had? � � Four or five, or six, � said I. |
21331 | How shall I be able to go through my duties, with this misfortune about my neck? |
21331 | How shall I manage to become master of these? |
21331 | I bring the news, and expect the present. � � What, Hajji? � said the porter, � he who used to shave my head so well? |
21331 | I bring the news, and expect the present. � � What, Hajji? � said the porter, � he who used to shave my head so well? |
21331 | I had it in my mind to go to the cadi. � � To the cadi? � said Ali Mohamed. |
21331 | I have no resistance to offer; but pray save her. � � Who are you? � said I. |
21331 | I neither married your daughter, nor your sister, and therefore what can it be to you who I am? � All this while he seemed swelling with rage. |
21331 | I returned in utter despair to my muleteer, who appeared not in the least surprised at what had happened and said, � What could you expect more? |
21331 | I returned with the messenger, and the first words which the serdar said, upon my appearing before him, were, � Where is Yûsûf? |
21331 | I thought of again taking to my profession; but who would trust their throats to a man who had the reputation of being a Turcoman spy? |
21331 | If innocent in heart and mind, I sin unconscious of offence What use, O casuist, shall I find In absolution � s recompense? |
21331 | If it be known that we have had a dead man''s head to bake, who will ever employ us again? |
21331 | Is he an acquaintance of yours? |
21331 | Is it not so? � said he to the ferash. |
21331 | Is it so? � �_ Che arz bekunum?_ what supplication can I make? � said I, not knowing precisely whether to acknowledge my friend or not. |
21331 | Is it so? � �_ Che arz bekunum?_ what supplication can I make? � said I, not knowing precisely whether to acknowledge my friend or not. |

21331 | Is not the same thing said of the present Shah? |
21331 | Is she sick? � � Ah, poor thing, � replied the good negro girl, � she has been sick and sorry too. |
21331 | It forms the subject of the following work; and tell me, can I dedicate it to any but him who first awakened my mind to its value? |
21331 | Keep to your silence, and your sighs, and your shrugs, and your downcast looks, and who is there that will discover you to be an ass? |
21331 | Let me spit upon such an inheritance. � � But where is your money, your ready cash, Hajji? |
21331 | Look at my eyes: have they lost their brightness? |
21331 | Need I say more? |
21331 | No, am I to be surprised at anything, when I see animals, without reason, acting like men, with it? |
21331 | Och! � said I, sighing, � my liver has become water, and my soul has withered up. � � What news is this? � said the old man. |
21331 | Of what good would all your riches be, if the day after repossessing them you were found dead in your bed? |
21331 | Of what use is a beard, � said I, taking mine into my hand, � when an empty sconce is tied to the end of it? |
21331 | Ought you to repine at what is a subject for joy? |
21331 | Ought you to weep at that? |
21331 | Shall we continue in arms against all the world? |
21331 | Should I restore them? |
21331 | Should the Shah hear of the one we possess, he will instantly send for it, and what are we to do then? |
21331 | Speak, man; what dream have you been dreaming? |
21331 | Tell me, why did you not bring them? � � We wished much to bring them, � said Shîr Ali, looking at me to help him out. |
21331 | Tell me, � said he to Shîr Ali, � by my soul, by the king � s salt, tell me, how much have you got for yourself? |
21331 | That is plain enough, is it not, Mirza Abdul Cossim? � said he, addressing himself to the mûshtehed. |
21331 | That which has passed through many generations of your ignoble ancestors, do ye now pretend to put off upon me? |
21331 | The capiji, who was accustomed to such discoveries, was the only one who had the readiness to say, � But where is the thief? |
21331 | The doctor may boast of his medicine; but what medicine is equal to a glance from the king � s eye? |
21331 | The double charms of love and wine Alike from one sweet source arise: Are we to blame, shall we repine, When unconstrain � d the passions rise? |
21331 | The infidels did not dare to face the_ Kizzil bashes_, eh? |
21331 | The links which our existence bind Hang not by one weak thread alone; Of man � s distress why tease the mind? |
21331 | Then what are we to believe? |
21331 | Then why should we become indebted to this infidel ambassador for things that we do not want? |
21331 | This Frangistan, is it a large country? |
21331 | This was how the irritated ambassador wrote: � What for you write � Hajji Baba, � sir? |
21331 | To the courier I said, � Why are you so angry? |
21331 | To this he was answered, � That may be very true; but what is that to us? |
21331 | Upon which, in his rage, he threw it down and kicked it from him; but recollecting himself he said,"But, after all, what shall I do with it? |
21331 | Want nothing, seek nothing, and nothing will seek you. � � How long have you been a Sûfi � said I, � that you talk after this manner? |
21331 | Was it necessary to go so far, and to take such precautions, to bring this misfortune on our heads? |
21331 | We have succeeded before, and why should we not be as successful now? |
21331 | We must call in the diviners. � � The diviners? � said my mother, in some agitation; � of what use can they be? |
21331 | We must call in the diviners. � � The diviners? � said my mother, in some agitation; � of what use can they be? |

21331 | What news is this, O caliph? |
21331 | What shall we do, eh, Dilferîb, my soul, say?" |
21331 | What sort of religion can theirs be which makes them seek the life of an inoffensive man? |
21331 | What well- fed hound ever went among wolves without being torn to pieces? |
