16999Luibitza answered:''The forest is wide, and the lighted faggot burns bright, but where is the supper? 16999 Now I recollect most of the gipsies here are Moslems; how do you show your adherence to Islamism?"
16999Quangt etes vous venie, Monsieur?
16999Were you ever a soldier?
16999What do I know of engineering?
16999What do they do?
16999What do we care for the Bey?
16999What does he do?
16999What is the age of Gospody Wellington?
16999What is the reason of that?
16999What is to be seen at Sokol?
16999What language do you speak?
16999What,said I,"all dispersed already?"
16999What?
16999Where did you study?
16999Where is the Drina?
16999Who would have expected to see a Persian on the borders of Bosnia? 16999 Will not this revolutionize the globe?"
16999_ Bella, bella_?
16999_ Deunde venut_?
16999_ Roumgi_?
16999--"How have you slept?
16999A story is related of this Bishop, that on the occasion of some former traveller rising to depart, he asked,"Are your pistols in good order?"
16999Are they not Turks?"
16999But Bosnia is a beautiful country; how do you intend to proceed from here?"
16999Did you never hear of the Tower of London?"
16999Did you stay long at Belgrade?"
16999Do you expect to see your cross planted some day on the castle?"
16999Have we not fasted since yesterday?''
16999Have you heard of the baby giantess?"
16999He amused me by asking me"if the king of my country lived in a strong castle?"
16999Holman?"
16999I took off my fez, and said,"Do you know, Father Igoumen, what has given me the most pleasure in the course of my visit?"
16999Pray can you get me a lodging?"
16999Take the advice of those who know the country?"
16999The same old man, whom I had met at Palesh, and who had asked me,"if the king of my country lived in a strong castle?"
16999Were you pleased with your tour?"
16999What can one think of a man who has changed his religion, but that no dependence can be placed on him?
16999What did the crew of that distressed ship do, when Jesus showed them his chart, and gave them all the bearings?
16999What is the population of Zwornik?"
16999Whence have you come?
16999Who can doubt of its_ ultimate_ accomplishment, in spite of the alternate precipitancy and prostration of enterprise?
42204And is this the reason a cat always falls on her feet?
42204Are n''t you too tired?
42204Are their eyes open yet? 42204 Are we to drive or walk, papa?"
42204Before we go home, will you take me out on the bridge of boats?
42204But the Sultan never leaves the palace grounds, except on the two great times each year, does he?
42204Dear me, a wedding- festival is a grand thing, is n''t it? 42204 Did many poor people come in to look at the pretty things?"
42204Did they die there from want of food, papa?
42204Did they kill him?
42204Fatima, do n''t you see what is the matter? 42204 He has many children, has n''t he?"
42204He is clothed in rags, but he is n''t a beggar, is he?
42204How did they dance, papa?
42204How would you like a day by the Sweet Waters of Europe, my child?
42204I suppose, Osman, you know that our dogs are always ready to attack one of a different breed?
42204Is it really true that Sultan Mahmoud''s old nurse saved his life by hiding him away in an oven?
42204Is n''t it beautiful?
42204Is n''t it pretty music, papa? 42204 It does n''t seem as though the bridge could be made of boats until we look over the sides, does it?"
42204Late for what?
42204May I give him a coin, papa?
42204May I, mamma?
42204Outdoors in that field, papa?
42204Papa, do you remember when you were a little boy like me, and went to children''s carnivals?
42204Papa, where is the oldest mosque in the world?
42204That would be lovely, mamma, but ca n''t Selim go with us?
42204The dress of the people was much prettier long ago, was n''t it?
42204The gipsies dress in the old style of our country, do n''t they, papa?
42204The silver is the pay for the fortune- telling, is n''t it?
42204Then, will you let me take your mules?
42204There is a theatre, as well as a great many other buildings, is n''t there, papa?
42204Was there a great crowd, mamma?
42204What did you do on Tuesday, mamma?
42204What did you see, papa? 42204 What is the use of working so hard?"
42204What is the use? 42204 What made the trouble, papa?"
42204What was done with the altars and the images and paintings, papa?
42204What was the bride doing all this time, mamma?
42204When did the bridegroom enter, mamma?
42204Where did they come from in the first place, papa?
42204Where? 42204 Why do people call our harbour the Golden Horn?"
42204Why do we call it''Agia Sophia,''papa?
42204Why does it cost so much?
42204Why should I hurry to dress myself for the day?
42204Why was that, mamma?
42204Wo n''t you tell my little boy the story of Mohammed and the cat?
42204You helped in making the bower, did n''t you, mamma?
42204You spent Wednesday with the bride, too, did n''t you?
42204And did any of the women offer to tell you your fortune?"
42204Ca n''t we get some lunch?
42204Do n''t you see the police?
42204Do n''t you think so?"
42204Do you remember Ibrahim, your boy friend?''
42204Do you think he could have enjoyed himself very much?
42204Does their mother seem fond of them?
42204He suffered very much, did n''t he, papa?"
42204How could the schoolmaster understand what they said?
42204How is it that a cat can do such a thing?
42204How many are there?"
42204I love the creatures; do n''t you, papa?
42204In a little while a man came to the door of the cottage, and said:"Friend Wood- cutter, will you help me with your mules?
42204Is it near here?"
42204May n''t I please have one?"
42204What caused his eyes to look so bright?
42204What did he do?
42204What had he done that the Grand Vizier should send for him?
42204What is all the noise about?"
42204What made Osman wake up sooner than usual this morning?
42204Who knows what changes will come to our country?
42204Why should n''t they have a good time?
42204Why was the nurse taking such pains with his hair and dress?
42204Would you believe it?
42204Would you like to go with me to- morrow to the mosque of Agia Sophia?"
19669A sad affair, was it not, Mademoiselle?
19669And were no arrests then made?
19669And who is responsible for killing the Archduke?
19669But did not the police stop them?
19669But how, I ask you, could he fail to see severed heads in a war? 19669 But if the Fraulein had died?"
19669But what do you see?
19669But why do you not like him?
19669But why was this done?
19669But why?
19669Ca n''t you smell it? 19669 Do you know, Mademoiselle, that what you did was excessively dangerous?"
19669Have you a passport? 19669 How can he know yet whether he likes you or not?
19669How do you think this young man will do as Prince of Macedonia?
19669How is it not necessary? 19669 How much has the lady?"
19669My God, why did I build cells like this?
19669No, why should they?
19669No,said I decidedly, for I was quite certain,"It will not be Mirko"; and I asked"How did they die?"
19669Pourquoi pas?
19669Tell me,said I,"what happened?
19669Then why may I not go?
19669We are not in blood with these people,they said,"Why should we fight them?"
19669What do you think?
19669What do you want to do there?
19669What does Russia want with Manchuria? 19669 What does that matter?"
19669What have you been doing in London?
19669What is the matter? 19669 When did you leave Bosnia?"
19669Which do you love best-- me or Ferdinand?
19669Which do you mean to rob then, the Franciscans or the Dominicans?
19669Who knows? 19669 Why do n''t you, then, Monsieur?"
19669Why do you do these things?
19669You have a navy?
19669You wo n''t ever go back again now, will you?
19669A good fellow this consul, is he not?
19669Are you ill?"
19669At the last minute, when told the thing must go to press, he said:"But why all this anxiety about facts, Mademoiselle?
19669But what can they do?
19669But what sort of peace can be expected when men such as this are in the diplomatic service helping to pull the strings?
19669Could I cause them to be restored?
19669Could any of the refugees return in safety to their burnt villages, or, at least, cut the corn that must now be ripe?
19669Could not England, I was asked, open a school?
19669Did he suppose that a diplomat on business would bring a party of ladies?"
19669Did not the Greeks, in the fourteenth century, call the Turks to Europe to fight the"Tsar of Macedonia who loves Christ?"
19669For what else is this Entente?
19669Had I any information for him?
19669Had I met death, what explanation would they have offered to the questions that must have cropped up over the death of a British subject?
19669Had it not withdrawn its correspondent?
19669Had not Russia already said the road to Constantinople lay through Vienna?
19669Had the British Government reversed its policy?
19669Had the Society the right to circulate Albanian Testaments?
19669Has it, perhaps, the same result in India and Egypt?
19669He addressed me sharply in German:"You want to go to Bosnia?"
19669He asked me doubtfully:"Will you promise not to send off what I say to a newspaper?"
19669How could we resist all Europe?
19669I asked quite suddenly:"And when will you be ready, Monsieur?"
19669I asked the Italian point- blank:"Are you going to war as Austria''s ally?"
19669I asked,"What is the Serb army like?"
19669I noted in my diary,"Will the army, now that it has taken the bit between its teeth, be more than King Petar can manage?"
19669I said to Mr. Lamb:"This means war, does n''t it?"
19669I said:"I suppose Russia is mixed up in this?"
19669I said:"Why not keep quiet and develop autonomy?"
19669I wonder how many other people got out as cheaply?
19669I wonder if Russia knew this?
19669If so, would I give him copies?
19669Is not her very name of Greek origin?
19669Might I return under armed escort to the village of the telegraph office where they knew me?
19669Now how far dare I go?
19669People ask why should not we, like the Bulgars and Serbs, rule our own land?
19669Point- blank, I asked,"Is travelling in Serbia so very dangerous then?"
19669She, who had just arrived, looked with wonder at the bare grey rocks we passed and asked,"Why ever did we take all these stones, father?"
19669The cry rose:"Russia helped us in 1877, why does she not come forward now?"
19669The question was, where was the Greek army?
19669The question was: Who was behind the Montenegrin students in Belgrade, and who supplied the bombs?
19669The waiter replied"You want to see our King?
19669Their number and variety caused me to ask:"But why are so many Powers represented in such a hole of a place?"
19669To what more laudable end could they be expended?
19669To which Power or group should it belong?
19669What can you expect?
19669What did Great Britain mean?
19669What did I intend writing to the papers on the subject?
19669What did he know about the so- called Englishwoman whose passport he had signed?
19669What else could the poor man do?
19669What good is this Christianity to them?"
19669What is your Empire?
19669What was done with all the money?
19669What was the object of this mission to Scutari?
19669When mentioning this later to a company of Serbs they asked"What was the name of the man you had an introduction to?"
19669Where had I been?
19669Which Power was shoving her?
19669Which won?
19669Who superintends the foreign students in your capital?"
19669Why did the Greeks arrest the tailor?
19669Why do you not make them in your own land and leave our land to us?
19669Why had he, who was Consul- General for Montenegro, not been called on?
19669Why had not the British envoy visited the Vali?
19669Why not Great Britain?
19669Why should he, when he came not on official business, but merely to see the bazar?"
19669Why should they?
19669You know Shaban?
19669You remember how they tried to kill King Nikola?
19669to something of international interest such as:"Which washer- woman in Cetinje gets up shirt fronts best?"
19669where have all these people gone?
19871Are not the Turks made of flesh and blood as you? 19871 I do n''t know,"replied the cow;"but tell me: Is it right that the grass grows up from the bodies of my parents and will grow up from my own body?"
19871If a poor man can not serve God with his heart, how can a rich one serve Him with gold?
19871If the simple mind of the unlearned man can not know God, how can the bewildered mind of a learned man know Him? 19871 O man, why do you look at us?"
19871Where to?
19871Why are you listening to me?
19871Why do you come every day to me?
19871Would you kill them, Andrea?
19871***** What is Death?
19871***** What is it to be a gentleman?
19871***** What is man?
19871*****"Why should not I believe in Fate?"
19871A beggar?
19871A gentleman from South Africa wrote to me the other day and asked about my country--"why it is so shining"?
19871A gipsy asked a king: Of how much value are your riches?
19871A king asks another king: How many people do you govern?
19871Among the population in Serbia there is the greatest misery and almost starvation_ en masse._"What happened?
19871And the poor sons of Serbia, that thou visitest them?
19871And the poor sons of Serbia, that thou visitest them?
19871And what happened with the ship of the Serbian nation?
19871Another: Why are there so many Mohammedans in the world?
19871Are you afraid to touch the unclean man?
19871As they reached the rocky frontier of Albania, the girls asked the mother:"And now, whither?"
19871But if God speaks to a king, he asks: How many people are you helping?
19871But to come how and where?
19871But when by such a people is meant a people of the European, Aryan race-- what then?
19871Can not their blood be shed as yours?
19871Can you not equal a woman?
19871Chastity?
19871Chivalry?
19871Could you imagine England without Stratford, the birthplace of Shakespeare?
19871Cowardice?
19871Death?
19871Dishonour?
19871Do n''t you agree with me?
19871Do n''t you think indeed that there is something wrong about this life of ours?
19871Do you think that it is difficult for a rich nation as well as for a rich man to come into the kingdom of Heaven?
19871Do you want a proof?
19871Even the dry leaves cry out when trodden on; why should not the trodden man cry out?
19871Fearlessness?
19871For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion?
19871For who can be proud believing in God?
19871For who created the small nations if not He that created all great and small things in this wonderful world?
19871For whose cause indeed is Belgium''s and Serbia''s, if not God''s cause?
19871Freedom?
19871God and a mother asked each other the same question:"How long will you continue to forgive your children?"
19871God?
19871He was asked:"Why did you take such a burden, since you are a burden to yourself?"
19871Home?
19871Honour?
19871How can you understand its language?
19871How could we now sing our songs while our homes are transformed into empty caves?
19871How could we sing now, when all our past protests against you and all our dead are disturbed in their graves?
19871How could we sing, seeing our bread in strangers''hands and cold stones in ours?
19871How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land?"
19871Humility?
19871I read the other day a German menacing song: We are going, we are going to see Who will henceforth govern the world-- England or God?
19871If you should ask any of the Serbian peasants:"To whom does this house belong?
19871Injustice?
19871Is that not Fate?"
19871Is that the principle of Frederick the Great, or Leasing, or Kant and Schiller?"
19871Justice?
19871Love?
19871Mercifulness?
19871Not to drop the cup-- And tell me, brother, Why to- day does slumber''s power subdue thee?"
19871Now thy wings are from thy body riven?''
19871Obedience?
19871Or who can feel God in this Universe and still say, I am great?
19871Patience?
19871Prayer?
19871Protection of the weak?
19871Serbs??
19871Serbs??
19871Shall I remind you of the results?
19871Shall I say that is Serbia?
19871Shall I say that is Serbia?
19871Still it might be asked: Has such a great body indeed an aim?
19871Suffering?
19871Tell me, tell me, hast thou kill''d my brother?''
19871Tell us, how we could sing now?
19871The French sailor said:"But you will perish if you do not give Macedonia to the Bulgars?"
19871The angel said:"If the clear eyes of a child can not see God, how can the dim eye of passionate man see Him?
19871The foolish man speaks much because he has to apologise his foolishness, but why must you speak so much?
19871The grass asked a cow:"Is it right that you eat me and tread on me?"
19871The peasant was asked:"What are you digging for?"
19871The sun complain''d to God of such an insult:"What shall be done with this presumptuous maiden?"
19871WHAT IS SERBIA THEN?
19871Was it not likewise the belief and hope of King Ethelbert, of Saint Oswald and Edward the Confessor?
19871We, men, either great or little?
19871We, nations, rich or poor?
19871We, the churches, either right or wrong?
19871Wealth?
19871What are we, then, on this small grain of dust?
19871What can we say about THE AIM OF THE GREATEST EMPIRE?
19871What did they do?
19871What do the Serbian men need?
19871What is God?
19871What is clay?
19871What is the first principle for humanity?
19871What is the news?
19871What is this morale, taught by Serbian poetry and proverbs, when uttered in a dry form?
19871What is, indeed, the whole of our planet?
19871What may it be?
19871What may such a people be doing?
19871What represents a boastful man?
19871What shall I say then about our women''s singing in the autumn in the dry and soft moonlight?
19871What, then, is this first principle?
19871When will the world become better?
19871When will the world become better?
19871When will this suffering of man from man stop?
19871When will you show us your virtues?
19871When wolves and sheep are brothers, what will the wolves eat?
19871Where are all the greatest empires of the past?
19871Whither are we all going, great or small?
19871Whither are you running?
19871Why am I protesting now before you, sons and daughters of Great Britain?
19871Why does God send suffering to the best of His children?
19871Why should not men think better of birds?
19871Why should you lament?
19871Why?
19871Why?
19871Why?
19871Why?
19871Why?
19871Work?
19871Would you know assuredly through which of the powerful nations God is working to- day?
19871Yet who can see any end of God, either in the past or in the future?

41499I have never seen a foreign woman before,he said,"will you come into my shop and talk to me?"
41499I know that,he replied;"I asked, do the potatoes grow well in London?"

41499Why do you laugh? 41499 Why do you not travel in my country?"
41499Why do you wish to see Servia? 41499 Why have you come here?"

41499After an hour of it, I asked,"How far?"
41499And Tsar Lazar answered,"O Militza, my lady and my empress, which one of thy brethren dost thou wish should remain with thee in the white castle?"
41499And had he not too"fought often for his faith"against"a hethen in Turkeye"?
41499And one of them croaked, and the other cried,"Is this the tower of the mighty Lazar?"
41499And so long as there was enough to eat, why trouble?
41499And the Empress called to him,"O Milutin, why hast thou deserted thy Tsar at Kosovo?"
41499And when he had come to himself a little, she prayed of him,"O Milutin, what has come to pass upon the field of Kosovo?
41499Are there many Turks in thy vilayet?"

41499At what time would I have supper?
41499But who knows?

41499He also volunteered that it was a good thing that I had not gone with the officers Nizams, but gave no answer when I asked"Why?"
41499He had been again to Berani, and told me with a grin that the"ljuta zmija,"the Kaimmakam, had asked,"Where is that Englishwoman?"
41499He ruled from the middle of the twelfth century, abdicated a few years before his death( which took place in 1195?
41499He said the innkeeper was very much vexed, and feared that I had been annoyed by one of the officers; which one was it?
41499He was a long, lean, morose individual, who snapped,"What do you want?"
41499How have you learned this in England?
41499How many Turks have they killed?"

41499Is it not in the form of a cross?"
41499Ljubitza hung around the door of my room and suggested that there were two beds in it, did I still prefer sleeping alone?
41499Mademoiselle is perhaps Russian?"
41499Militza?
41499Milosh plucks up courage, thumps his chest and blurts out,"Wilt thou have me?"
41499Omitting a mass of childish and personal questions, the conversation was always more or less on this pattern:--"Hast thou a father?"
41499On the other hand, you like Servia, or why should you have come?
41499Our relief was great when we heard the words,"Vous parlez français, mesdemoiselles?"
41499PART I MONTENEGRO AND THE WAY THERE"What land is this?"
41499Perhaps Mademoiselle lives with her father and mother?
41499Prince Mirko?
41499Should I like to see something truly Servian?
41499Son of the race with the worst reputation in Europe and born in one of Europe''s worst governed corners, he lamented( as which of us has not done?)
41499Striking his hand heavily on the table to compel my attention, he said very loudly,"You have come from Rashka?"
41499Surprised and pleased, I asked myself,"Which of our own bobbies could thus assist a foreigner?"
41499The time flew, and when I heard the clink of spurs on the marble floor, and the pandur saluting said,"Are you hungry?"
41499Then I cried,"What is it?"
41499Then again,"How far?"
41499Then he said, would I think three francs too much?
41499Then he said,"When are you going?"
41499Then"You come from Nish?"
41499Then--"Is thy vilayet( province) far off?"

41499When shall I again see visitors from England?"
41499Where are old Yug Bogdan and his nine sons?"
41499Where are your friends?"
41499Where can there be money for such an undertaking?"
