55779And now, chief, what do you propose to do with me?
55779And so it is you, chief, to whom I owe my life?
55779And what do people say about the Russians? 55779 And would you thus burden yourself with a stranger?"

55779Are you awake?
55779Are you going anywhere, master?
55779Are you ready to undertake a hazardous mission?
55779But does your chief guarantee that we shall go unmolested down to Dadur?

55779How much would be charged?
55779How on earth did you manage it?

55779I hear that one of your men is ill, can anything be done for him? 55779 I suppose it would be of no use taking torches?"
55779In the first place,the general said,"what is the state of the Bolan?"
55779Is it true that the kafirs are bringing no big guns with them?
55779It means, then,he said,"that if I do not leave Herat there will be war?"
55779May I ask what dress it will be proper for me to wear?
55779Shall I get the woman''s dress?
55779Shall you be sending a message to the minister?
55779So you are back, Suffyd?
55779Then why do you not do it? 55779 Then why should you go, master?"
55779Then you do n''t think things are going on well?
55779Then, if we are attacked we must be taken prisoners?
55779There were no troops there, then?
55779They tell me,the governor said,"that you can speak our tongue?"
55779Well, how much would you charge?

55779What are you thinking of doing?
55779What can it mean? 55779 What do you think has happened?"
55779What do you want?
55779What does it matter,he said,"whether the soldiers take things or not?
55779What has happened?

55779You are Mr. Campbell, the young gentleman of whom our vice- consul at Tabriz writes to me?
55779You are aware of its contents?
55779You have come hither for purposes of trade? 55779 You have my disguise ready and your own, Azim?"
55779You journeyed here comfortably, I hope?
55779You speak Persian, your excellency?
55779''Do you think that because our chief is a traitor we are traitors too?''"
55779Angus said,"and why have we been carried off?"
55779Angus uttered an exclamation of disgust, and Azim struck another blow at his plan by saying,"How would you get the horses out, master?
55779Are there any of your tribe who would act as a guide for us?
55779Are you alone going to fail?"
55779Are you going to return to the embassy or remain here?"
55779Are you uninjured?"
55779As for to- morrow, who can say?"
55779As soon as they had cleared the snow and opened the felt out a little, Sadut called--"Are you awake, Hassan?"
55779Besides, how could they have told that a Momund chief had been here with Dost Mahomed when he passed through?"
55779But how did you learn that I was going to try to make my way down to Jellalabad?
55779But how should we get the camel?"
55779But should I see him have you any message for him?
55779But why do you stand so far away?"
55779But why should they have taken this trouble?

55779If someone did not come in an hour, why should he come in a week or a month?"
55779Is it you who has thus made us prisoners?"
55779Is that your man over there with the two horses?
55779Now that you have told us about yourself, please give us any details you can of what you saw of the fighting?"
55779Now, I suppose you want something to eat?
55779Now, about forage?"
55779Presently he said:"But we have no pen and ink to write this order?"
55779Shall I desert my friends when they most need comfort and aid?
55779Shall I mention your name to him?"
55779Should I speak to him if I do so?"
55779Surely you could not send an army all that distance?"
55779The officers were silent for a minute, and then Pottinger said:"What do you think, Brigadier?
55779The question is, do you feel strong enough to travel through the mountains?
55779Then you saw nothing of it?"
55779There would be no harm in that, would there?"
55779Think you that Saleh would let me traffic with them?"
55779Was there any news when you left there?"
55779We know about it as far as the edge of Beloochee Desert; what is it beyond that?

55779Where are you dwelling now?"
55779Where are you thinking of cashing this?"

55779Your father had correspondents also in Bombay, had he not?"
55779and why should they have prepared this place beforehand for our reception?
