47285Nay, nay, O my mother,protested Aladdin;"it were wiser to keep them, for did not the Slave of the Ring deliver me from death?
47285O King of the Age,he said,"doth thy Felicity now believe that the palace and all Aladdin''s wealth were the work of sorcery?"
47285O King,he said,"thinkest thou that such a thing as this could be done save by the vilest of sorcery?
47285O Sindbad,he said,"this King must be exceedingly wealthy and powerful; what sayest thou?"
47285O brother mine,I replied,"I see here a melon, but where is the knife?"
47285O brother,he said to me,"wilt thou in thy kindness cut me up a water melon, and sprinkle it with sugar?"
47285O my Lord,he said, green with envy,"rich though these things be, thinkest thou they are worth one single curl of thy daughter''s head?
47285O my lord,I said,"and the stranger that sojourneth with thee: if his wife die, do ye treat him in like manner?"
47285O my mother,he said;"is this all the Sultan requireth?
47285O my son,cried the Sultan as Aladdin greeted him,"why didst thou not let my jewellers complete the niche in the kiosk?
47285O my son,she cried in despair,"wilt thou bring me into thy madness?
47285O my son,she exclaimed, weeping,"said I not to thee that the Grand Vizier was thine enemy?
47285O our Master and Prince,they said,"why hast thou tarried so long?
47285On the head and the eye?
47285Sayest thou so?
47285Shall we return, O my uncle?
47285Sire,said she,"why dost thou summon me thus into the presence of men?"
47285Tell me, how doth this accursed man treat thee?
47285Tell me, young man,he said,"what is thy name, that on a future occasion I may return thy hospitality?"
47285Tell me,I said,"what is the history of this mountain?"
47285Tell me,he asked again presently,"where doth this accursed keep the Lamp?"
47285Tell me,he said,"who am I, and where am I?"
47285Then,went on Abu- l- Hasan,"she will weep with thee, for have I not found favour in her eyes?
47285These,I said,"are mine, and forty priceless damsels are also mine: what Sultan can compare with me?"
47285Thou knowest me: what is thy desire?
47285Uncle,she said;"what is abroad in the city that the people close their shops and place candles and garlands in their windows?"
47285Well,said the Sultan,"where is thy palace?
47285What ails thee?
47285What is that bundle thou hast under thine arm?
47285What is thy plan?
47285What is thy suit?
47285What is thy thought on this, O Vizier?
47285What is thy will, O Prince of the Faithful?
47285What is thy wish, O my master?
47285What is thy wish, O my master?
47285What is thy wish? 47285 What now, O my son?"
47285What sayest thou, O Vizier?
47285What sayest thou?
47285What sayest thou?
47285What strange thing is this?
47285What?
47285Where hast thou been, my son?
47285Where is Aladdin?
47285Where is this tomb of which thou speakest?
47285Wherefore should I slay this woman, who hath done me no injury, and whom I have never seen before?
47285Wherefore this?
47285Wherefore, O my son?
47285Wherefore, O my uncle?
47285Who art thou, and what doest thou here?
47285Who art thou, miserable old woman?
47285Wilt thou not help me?
47285Wouldst thou like to be a merchant?
47285After some days he called me to him and said,"Art thou skilled in any art or trade?"
47285Am I not thine uncle, and have I not said it?
47285Am I now Abu- l- Hasan dreaming I am the Khalifeh, or was I, last night and heretofore for many nights, the Khalifeh dreaming he was Abu- l- Hasan?"
47285And are there such radiant maidens even in the Fragrant Paradise?"
47285And did I not cleave the hillside with my incantations?
47285And hath he risen to a high position through the Lamp and the Slave of the Lamp?"
47285And is it not thy duty to perform this office for me?"
47285And my daughter, where is she?
47285And the Sultan answered with a charming smile,"O my son, thou art too generous; but who could refuse thee anything?"
47285And, what is more to me, where is my daughter?"
47285And, whenever Aladdin thanked his uncle for his kindness, the Dervish replied,"Nay, boy; am I not thine uncle?
47285Art thou not the tailor''s son?"
47285Besides all this, O my son, how shall I even gain access to the Sultan''s presence for this purpose without bearing a rich gift to offer him?
47285But Aladdin''s face told him nothing; so he enquired,"What price do you ask, O my master?"
47285But how shalt thou approach the Sultan in thy merchant''s garments?
47285But is not thy promise worth most of all?
47285But what desert place had I come to by this daring misadventure?
47285But when he heard the name"Aladdin,"and the fame attached to it, he muttered to himself,"Can this be he?
47285Everything?
47285Give me, I pray thee, a little space of time-- two days; and when my eyes are dim with weeping for Aladdin--""Two days?
47285Had he gone mad?
47285Hast thou a plan which is not a trick?
47285Hast thou ever, from first to last, beheld a palace like this?"
47285Hast thou not an old lamp so that we might test him and see whether his cry be true or false?"
47285Hath he refused the jewels, and thy head still on thy shoulders?"
47285Having waited so long, surely thou canst wait another--""Day?
47285He appeared to take thought for a moment, and then he said:"Thou wilt swear that thou lovest not this man?"
47285How camest thou hither?"
47285How can I marry another when this very day I depart this life?"
47285How can my son do this?
47285How hast thou hid from me so long?"
47285How should he reach it?
47285I said,"Tell me why is this: that ye bury the living with the dead?"
47285I then took steps to separate them, but who can lock love out?
47285Immediately the Efrite stepped out of the unseen and stood before him, saying,"Thou hast invoked me: what is thy desire?
47285In a flash the Slave of the Ring appeared and standing before him, said,"O my master, what is thy desire?"
47285Is it clear to thee, my son?"
47285Is not thy heart with us?"
47285Is there aught else thou dost desire?"
47285Is there, perchance, one amongst them who is a skilled caligraphist?''
47285Knowest thou aught of her?"
47285Knowest thou not that the King of this city is thy father''s greatest enemy, having a blood- debt against him?
47285Knowest thou not that, to- day, they will bury my wife, and that they will bury me also in the same tomb with her?
47285Meanwhile, do you all agree to what I have proposed?"
47285Methinks I dream, or--"he went on, half to himself,--"Can it be?
47285My guest-- he bade me drink and-- what subtle enchantment is this?
47285Page 169]"What is my offence?"
47285Peradventure another bowl of jewels?"
47285Said I not to thee that the Grand Vizier was thine enemy?
47285Seeing this, he rallied me and said,"Art thou dumb?
47285Shall we admit them?"
47285She hastened home to Aladdin, who, when he saw her with the bowl of jewels just as when she departed, cried,"What is this, O my mother?
47285Tell me, O Vizier, have I in my treasury a single jewel that will compare with even the smallest of these?"
47285The Efrite saw her look, and cried,"Is it not enough?
47285The Executioner set forth running at full speed, and no sooner was he gone than the Khalifeh said to Zubeydeh,"Wilt thou make me a wager?"
47285Then she questioned him, saying,"O my son, was not this the same Efrite that appeared to thee when thou wast in the cavern?"
47285Then the being spoke:"Thou hast invoked me; what is thy wish?"
47285Then, O my mother, if I place in thy hands an offering richer than any King in the world can make to any other, wilt thou carry out my desire?"
47285Then, addressing the woman, he said:"Hast thou chosen?"
47285Then, gradually, arose a great cry of wonder and astonishment, which spread throughout the city: Had the King chosen an ape for his Grand Vizier?
47285Then, seeing that they were perplexed, I shouted in my excitement,"Do you not hear me?
47285Therefore, to preserve my honour in Zubeydeh''s eyes, is it not proper that_ thou_ be dead?"
47285Thou canst do this?"
47285What ails thee?
47285What dost thou desire me to do?"
47285What gift wilt thou send the wedded pair?
47285What hast thou done for thy country, or what are thy vast possessions that the Sultan should reward thee with his daughter?"
47285What is his condition and state of life?''"
47285What is it, O my mother?"
47285What is thy desire?"
47285What marvellous thing was this?
47285What say you, O my sisters?"
47285What sayest thou?
47285What sayest thou?"
47285What stranger could refuse?
47285What thinkest thou, my son?"
47285What was he not going to do for me?
47285When, presently, he regained his senses, he sat up and cried out,"What have I done, O my uncle, that thou shouldst strike me?"
47285Where hast thou been, and where is thine uncle?"
47285Where were the slave girls?
47285Which is easier: for the Khalifeh to play the merchant, or the merchant to play the Khalifeh?
47285Who will exchange old lamps for new?"
47285Who will exchange old lamps for new?"
47285Why had he not already won this as well as her love by means of the Lamp?
47285Will you grace it with your presence?"
47285Wilt thou not have the palace whole?"
47285Wilt thou still commit the crime of unfaithfulness with thine eye?"
47285Ye doubt me?
47285and has not the Slave of the Lamp brought us delicious food when we were hungry?"
47285he cried;"did we not swear never to cross one another''s path?"
47285he gasped;"have I attained to the fragrant Paradise, or do I dream?"
47285he was shouting;"am I not the Prince of the Faithful?"
47285my son, of a truth thou art favoured by fate; for how else could''st thou escape so great a peril?
47285said Nuzhat- el- Fuad, eagerly,"proceed-- what then?"
47285said the King,"this excellent work done by an ape?"
47285said the lady, regarding me intently,"or art thou an Efrite?"
47285whither shall I flee for safety?"
47285why dost thou laugh?"
128A man or a genius?
128Ali Cogia,he said,"when you brought me the vase of olives did I ever touch it?"
128Amina,I exclaimed in astonishment,"is that the way you eat rice at home?
128And how come you here?
128And suppose,answered the dervish,"that your enemies are invisible, how then?"
128And what can they be?
128And what is that?
128And where do you go now?
128And you,she asked, addressing another,"were you born blind of one eye?"
128Are you not a debtor of the King of the Ebony Island?
128Are you quite well now?
128As for her looking a little younger than we do, what does that matter? 128 As you are so kind,"I said,"tell me, I pray you, what are the virtues of this ointment?"
128But how do you know this, my daughter?
128But if he really is a stranger to me,she replied,"why should I tell a lie and cause his death?"
128But what have I done to you?
128But what is the matter with the princess that she needs the dervish''s prayers?
128But why not?
128But why,cried the king in a burst of fear and anger,"why did you not call him back when you saw him disappearing?"
128But, bird,objected the princess,"you know how dearly we love each other; will not all this spoil our friendship?"
128But, madam,inquired the Persian,"what harm is there in that?"
128But, my son,urged Fatima,"you surely do not wish to be the last of a race which has reigned so long and so gloriously over this kingdom?"
128But, your Majesty,said I,"dare I ask if this law applies to foreigners also?"
128But,said the merchant,"how can I have killed your son?
128But,thought he,"how shall I find my way back?
128By what accident do you come here?
128Ca n''t you see for yourself that it can belong to nobody but a Barmecide?
128Can you possibly understand what the Sultan saw in that little cat,said one to the other,"for him to be so fascinated by her?"
128Charming Maimoune,asked Danhasch,"may I inquire who and what is the prince of whom you speak?"
128Charming Persian,answered Noureddin,"how could I be guilty of such baseness?
128Do you call this a simple country house?
128Do you imagine that I should appropriate this treasure? 128 Do you know it is a whole year''s journey from here?
128Do you know this lake?
128Do you not know,was the answer,"that the son of the grand- vizir is to marry the Sultan''s daughter to- night?"
128Do you see that mountain?
128Do you think I can tell you while I am shut up in here?
128Do you wish him to regain his proper shape?
128Does he want to take my son from me?
128Forgive my ignorance,he asked,"what is this palace you speak of?"
128Good- day,he answered;"is it possible that you do not recognise me?"
128Have you lost your senses?
128Have you not heard of Prince Aladdin''s palace,was the reply,"the greatest wonder of the world?
128How can I be better,answered the Sultan, imitating the language of the Ethiopians,"when I can never sleep for the cries and groans of your husband?"
128How can I thank you for your goodness towards a stranger, and for what you have done? 128 How did this hatchet and those shoes get here?"
128How did you escape?
128How do you like this bread?
128How have you made up your mind,he asked,"to sacrifice your own daughter to me?"
128How long do you require?
128How should I, when I never saw her before?
128How should I?
128I gave you the key of my shop and you put it yourself where you liked, and did you not find it in exactly the same spot and in the same state? 128 I have just freed you; have you already forgotten that?"
128I think it was you who judged the case of Ali Cogia and the merchant last night? 128 I?
128Is it possible,he cried,"that while I am in Bagdad, a man like you should be starving?
128Is it true, gentlemen,asked Zobeida, drawing herself up,"that you have charged this man to put me that question?"
128Is it your pleasure to rise?
128Is there any other verdict possible?
128Is this,continued Zobeida, growing more angry every moment,"is this the return you make for the hospitality I have shown you?
128It would be an excellent thing to do,returned the grand- vizir,"but how do you propose to accomplish it?"
128Ladies,I replied,"what is the meaning of these strange words-- I pray you to tell me?"
128Madam,replied the slave,"who can help laughing to see an old fool offering to exchange fine new lamps for old ones?"
128Most likely,said the prince;"but now that you are here I am glad of the opportunity to ask you where is the lady who slept in this room last night?"
128My good man, where do you come from?
128Oh, madam,replied he,"how can you desire me to quit you in the state in which I am?
128Once again, my father,said Scheherazade,"will you grant me what I ask?"
128Since I must die,he said,"before I choose the manner of my death, I conjure you on your honour to tell me if you really were in that vase?"
128Sire,answered the princess,"do you see that cage hanging in one of the windows of the saloon?
128Sire,she said to her father,"what can you be thinking of to summon me like this into the presence of a man?"
128So, captain,said I,"the merchant who owned those bales was called Sindbad?"
128Tell me, madam, I pray you,he said at last,"how this marvellous tree came into your garden?
128Tell me,he cried,"where is this wicked woman, and where is the miserable object of her affection, whom she just manages to keep alive?"
128Tell me,he said,"how long can olives be kept so as to be pleasant eating?"
128Tell me,said he,"can you shoot with a bow?"
128Tell me,she cried,"where is the young man I love so dearly, and who slept near me last night?"
128That vase could not contain one of your feet even, and how could your whole body go in? 128 Well,"asked the Sultan,"can you tell me what must be done to disenchant the young prince?"
128Well,asked the king as soon as he appeared,"and how did you find my son?"
128What are you doing?
128What are you doing?
128What are you thinking of, sir,exclaimed some;"why expose yourself to certain death?
128What business is that of yours?
128What can he have done to deserve to be treated like this?
128What crimes have I committed, your majesty?
128What danger can there be?
128What did Imma do to Ateca?
128What do you mean?
128What do you mean?
128What does a dervish want with riches like that?
128What does it all mean?'' 128 What had the vizir done,"said the Greek king,"to merit the punishment?"
128What has put such a thing into your head? 128 What have I done, uncle?"
128What have you been doing?
128What have you done?
128What is it?
128What is the matter, my sister?
128What is this you are saying, great genius? 128 What news?"
128What would you have, Sindbad?
128What, are you still so obstinate?
128What, you are dying of hunger?
128When you arrived here did you not sit down on the ground?
128Where am I?
128Where have you hidden your musicians?
128Where is my palace and my daughter?
128Who are you, my lord?
128Who are you? 128 Who is this imbecile?"
128Why are you so drowsy?
128Why are you so resolved upon your own ruin?
128Why, bird, who ever heard of such a dish? 128 Why, what are you doing here?"
128Why,cried she,"was it you my father wished me to marry?
128Will your highness permit me to do as my sister asks?
128You condemn yourself by your refusal,said the genius; then turning to me, he added,"and you, do you not know her?"
128You suppose him to have perished then?
128You travelled,I said,"and what did you gain?"
128Aladdin''s mother, when she came to herself, said:"Whence comes this splendid feast?"
128Ali Cogia,"he added,"have you got the vase with you?"
128And did you do it because your appetite was so small, or did you wish to count the grains so that you might never eat more than a certain number?
128And other voices replied,"Where is he, mamma, that we may eat him at once, as we are very hungry?"
128And supposing that I had the strength, why should I put an innocent man to death?"
128Approaching my brother with an angry countenance he exclaimed,"What business have you here?"
128Are not the heads you see exposed on the town wall sufficient warning?
128Are you ill?
128As soon as my wife heard me speak this she at once cried out,"What are you doing, husband?
128But how can he or any one else know what takes place in this house?
128But how would it be if he were first to marry?
128But may I ask the purpose of your question?"
128But putting him aside she addressed the others a second time, saying,"Answer me; who are you?
128But what am I saying?
128But what dangers can there be in the adventure which courage and a good sword can not meet?"
128But when I have related it, will you grant me also the third part of the merchant''s punishment?"
128But, good brother, you, who are so kind and charitable, and know the secrets of such vast learning, have you nothing that will give me back my sight?"
128But, indeed, I have no inclination to change my state, for where could I find so happy a life amidst so many beautiful and delightful surroundings?
128Can you doubt any longer?"
128Did you ever say anything about them before?
128Did you not read the inscription over the door?
128Do n''t you remember now?"
128Do you not think it is a most marvellous one?
128Giving him one last embrace, I observed accidentally,"What are you going to do with that little box of ointment?
128Hagi Hassan, then closing the door upon her, began to offer her for sale-- calling out:"Who will bid 4,000 gold pieces for the Persian slave?"
128Has my husband not told you that you are destined for the king?"
128Have you ever heard of anyone who has suffered more, or had more narrow escapes than I have?
128Have you forgotten the one condition on which you were allowed to enter the house?
128He lay quite still, and in a moment he heard a voice saying,"Can you guess whom this man is that we have saved from death?"
128He rubbed it, and the genie appeared, saying:"What is thy will?"
128He was thunderstruck, and turning to the vizir said:"What sayest thou?
128He went up to her and, imitating the voice of a woman, he said,"Do you happen to have a pair of scales you could lend me?
128How am I to know that she will not be proud, passionate, contemptuous, and recklessly extravagant, or that her disposition will in any way suit mine?"
128How were you driven to commit such a terrible crime?"
128I cried,"what is happening?"
128I have a presentiment that Ali Cogia will return, and what will he think of you?
128I have come to ask whether you would do me the favour to keep this vase of olives for me till I come back?"
128If he wished to take my life, why did he cure me?
128Immediately an enormous and frightful genie rose out of the earth, saying:"What wouldst thou with me?
128Is it not just that I should now enjoy a life of ease and tranquillity?"
128Is it possible that you take me, my lord, for one of those miserable creatures who force their way into houses to beg for alms?
128Is not this hatchet yours, and these shoes?"
128Is this not a most marvellous tale?
128It is now for you to say if we deserve mercy or punishment; life or death?"
128Must I go up hill or down?
128My own?
128Now what do you say?"
128Of what use would my alms be if I treated you so ill?"
128Or has anything happened?"
128Ought I not to bestow the princess on one who values her at such a price?"
128Shall I cure the princess in her own presence, or shall I do it from here without seeing her?"
128She came near his couch and said,"Are you better to- day, my dear slave?
128She struck one of the fish with her rod,"Fish, fish,"said she,"are you doing your duty?"
128She then returned to the cage, and said:"Bird, there is still something else, where shall I find the Singing Tree?"
128Should he follow his father into the palace, and there give reins to his despair?
128Still, Amina, it seems to me that there be some among them as sweet to the taste as the flesh of a corpse?"
128Suddenly Zobeida turned round, and seeing their excitement she said,"What is the matter-- what are you all discussing so earnestly?"
128The Sultan sent her mother to her, who said:"How comes it, child, that you will not speak to your father?
128The lady who had led him hither stood watching him with amusement, till the porteress exclaimed,"Why do n''t you come in, my sister?
128The poor man was dumb with horror, then, lifting up his hands, he exclaimed,"Can my old friend really have committed such a crime?"
128The prince recognised her at once, and, embracing her with the utmost tenderness, cried,"Ah, how can I thank the king for this delightful surprise?"
128Then Maimoune turning to the genie said:"Well, are you satisfied that my prince surpasses your princess?
128Then a voice came from the vase which said to the fisherman,"Well, unbelieving fisherman, here I am in the vase; do you believe me now?"
128Then he said to my brother,"Why do n''t you wash your hands too?"
128Then, turning to his attendants who stood round, he said to them,"What reward shall I give to the man who has restored me my daughter?"
128Thus Sindbad ended the story of his seventh and last voyage, and turning to Hindbad he added:"Well, my friend, and what do you think now?
128Was it by accident that one window was left unfinished?"
128We have waited for your awakening; tell us now whence you come and where you were going by that dangerous way?"
128What do you think about it?"
128What do you want?"
128What has happened?"
128What has he done that you should give him this pleasant life-- what have I done to deserve so hard a fate?"
128What is its name?"
128What was he to do?
128What would you say if you could see the prince I have just been looking at and whose beauty is really transcendent?
128Whatever befalls me I can not forbear asking,` Why you daub your faces with black, and how it is you are all blind of one eye?''"
128Where did you get them from?"
128Where is the lamp?"
128Who are you?"
128Who knows what this remedy, with which he has cured you, may not in time have a bad effect on you?"
128Whose is this palace, and why is it thus empty?"
128Why not wait another year and then inform the Prince in the midst of the assembled council that the good of the state demands his marriage?
128Why should I not build a raft and trust myself to its swiftly flowing waters?
128Will you grant it to me?"
128Will you tell some of them to me?"
128You do not belong to the house?"
128and what is the world coming to?
128answered the king,"what is to hinder the horse from descending straight into the sea, or dashing him to pieces on the rocks?"
128asked Prince Bahman;"why are you so grave?
128asked the genius,"and did you not take some dates from your wallet, and whilst eating them did not you throw the stones about?"
128cried the genius,"is not this man your lover?"
128exclaimed the lady,"you ask me that, knowing that my son Noureddin has been alone with you?"
128he asked the princess;"are they up in the air, or under the earth?
128he cried,"do you know me?"
128he cried,"is it not enough that I have done everything for you, but you must command me to bring my master and hang him up in the midst of this dome?
128he cried,"you do not wake at the signs of Camaralzaman''s love?
128he exclaimed,"how would it be possible for any man, much less a woman, to enter this room at night without walking over your slave on the threshold?
128he exclaimed,"why did I not wait for the light?
128he exclaimed;"where is the spring, and how do you make the fountain rise so high?
128replied Maimoune,"what harm can you do me?
128said the king;"is that wretch still alive?
128she exclaimed,"what is the meaning of this?
128she said in a bewildered manner;"and how did I get here?"
128they asked,"and did the gardener come to tell you he had found a treasure?"
128what shall I say to the Sultan?
128why should you kill me?"
41003Always?
41003And canst thou direct us thither?
41003And his wife? 41003 And if not?"
41003And if so?
41003And if thou failest?
41003And shall I see her?
41003And the dwelling- place of the Ruler of the World is that high land, towards which, at sunrise, we shall be pushing forward to discover?
41003And thou desirest to return because thou lovest her?
41003And thou desireth me to set forth in search of this legendary spot which no man hath yet discovered?
41003And thou wilt not fail to render me assistance in the hour of my need?
41003And thy parentage?
41003And what is the name of this unknown country?
41003And what manner of things were revealed?
41003And wilt thou not explain thy reason?
41003Are the others spies?
41003Are we not friends?
41003Art thou actually one of his handmaidens?
41003Art thou an Arab from the North?
41003Art thou bearer of a message from her?
41003Art thou certain that yonder crest is actually the rock we seek?
41003Art thou dazzled?
41003Art thou not afraid to accompany me in this search?
41003Art thou on thy way to them?
41003Believest thou that the Evil Spirit hath power supreme?
41003But are not its waters fatal? 41003 But hadst thou no motive in bringing me into this thine apartment, even at the imminent risk of detection and disgrace?"
41003But how came I to bear the mark?
41003But how dost thou know my innermost secrets?
41003But how is the extraordinary effect produced?
41003But if, while I sought to alienate the guards and soldiers against the Sultan, my seditious words should be whispered into his ear? 41003 By what means did the dog obtain admission?"
41003By whom?
41003Can not she write?
41003Canst thou not reveal to me anything now?
41003Canst thou not see that the asp''s poison is fatal?
41003Couldst thou not guide me thither?
41003Daughter of whom?
41003Did we not set forth to seek the Rock of the Great Sin, and didst thou not express thy readiness to accompany me whithersoever I went?
41003Didst thou have speech with him?
41003Didst thou not declare thou wouldst engage Malec in single combat in thine endeavour to fathom the Secret of the Asps?
41003Didst thou not witness in the prism the decree of Fate? 41003 Do all the versions agree that the Rock of the Great Sin is the gate of a region unknown?"
41003Do our enemies pursue us?
41003Do they eat human flesh?
41003Dost thou not fear to have a son of Anu as thy body- servant?
41003Dost thou promise to we d me if I am successful in my search after the truth?
41003Dost thou reside here always?
41003Dost thou think thou wilt succeed where valiant men for ages past have failed?
41003Even though thy Pearl may be daughter of the Evil One, and able to accomplish things superhuman?
41003Fearest thou to return?
41003For what reason hast thou sought to thus keep observation upon me?
41003From Omdurman?
41003From my camp?
41003From what destiny?
41003From whom hast thou heard mention of it?
41003From whom?
41003Has his Majesty given utterance to such a threat?
41003Hast thou ever seen Ea mirrored on the clouds?
41003Hast thou never seen its counterpart?
41003Hast thou still an amulet thy father gavest unto thee before his death?
41003Hast thou, in the course of thy many journeys afar, learned nothing of its existence beyond what the wise men and story- tellers relate?
41003Hath no man ever been able to penetrate into the mysterious abode?
41003Have thine eyes ever gazed upon the Rock of the Great Sin?
41003How camest thou, son of_ sebel_ to pass the guards of mine innermost court?
41003How didst thou detect their presence?
41003How earnest thou hither in company with horsemen of the Sultan''Othman, who fled at our approach?
41003How earnest thou hither?
41003How earnest thou to bear the brand of the serpents?
41003How was my life spared?
41003How?
41003How?
41003How?
41003In my harem?
41003In which direction?
41003Is it not folly, O friend, to trust thyself in yon sacred lake? 41003 Is it not written that we should bear no malice?"
41003Is the Lalla so carefully guarded that none can approach her?
41003Knowest thou any of that name?
41003Knowest thou mine enemies?
41003Knowest thou not the punishment meted out to those who dare to pass the Janissaries and tread the sacred courts of the harem?
41003Knowest thou not the writing upon my foundation- stones, offspring of Anu, defiler of the holy Ziggurratu?
41003Knowest thou the reason?
41003Knowest thou the routes in the forest?
41003Knowest thou the words graven upon the great image? 41003 Knowest thou where the Rock of the Great Sin is situated?"
41003Lovest thou me fondly enough to marry?
41003May I not investigate its contents now?
41003Not alone?
41003Of what tribe art thou? 41003 Of what?"
41003Or peradventure thy marriage?
41003Shall I go back and tell her, while thou remainest here until my return?
41003So thou art the Arab Zafar- Ben- A''Ziz, the horseman who alone escaped death at the well of Sabo- n- Gari?
41003Tell me, in which direction doth it lie?
41003Tell me, whence comest thou?
41003The right path? 41003 Then how can we we d?"
41003Then thou art not a Dervish?
41003Then thou canst give me absolutely no clue to its position?
41003Then, according to thy belief, the Good Spirit is powerless?
41003Then, in acting as our guide, thou art running a risk of death?
41003Then, thou didst discover the secret entrance; the mystery that hath remained hidden through an hundred ages?
41003Then, whither dost thou advise me to search for information? 41003 Then, why dost thou desire to leave our land of Ea?
41003Think, what art thou now? 41003 Thinkest thou that thou canst save a man whom thou bringest unto thine apartment in secrecy, dressed in woman''s garments?"
41003Thou hast chosen?
41003Thou, O friend, art not alone in seeking to discover it?
41003To show me favour, wilt thou not accept it, in order to pay those who perform service for thee?
41003Was he the Arab horseman captured at the well of Sabo- n- Gari?
41003Well,I said, after a pause,"believest thou that I am the prophesied doer of evil?"
41003Well?
41003Well?
41003Well?
41003What beholdest thou?
41003What didst thou discern?
41003What dost thou recognise?
41003What hast thou done?
41003What hideous shape hath frightened thee?
41003What is it? 41003 What is its name?"
41003What is the nature of her peril?
41003What knowest thou of my goal?
41003What knowest thou of the rock?
41003What message bearest thou?
41003What name bearest thou?
41003What revelation have I made?
41003What secret doth it contain?
41003What secret?
41003What seekest thou? 41003 What seest thou in the Mark of the Asps to amaze thee?"
41003What time has elapsed since we set forth?
41003What truth?
41003What was his name?
41003What was it?
41003What was the nature of thine offence?
41003What, I wondered, had I done that I was allowed to sit in the royal presence?
41003Whence comest thou?
41003Whence comest thou?
41003Whence didst thou obtain it?
41003Where be those owls, those oxen of the oxen, those beggars, those cut- off ones, those aliens, those Sons of Flight? 41003 Where, then, have I taken mine ease?"
41003Wherefore art thou unhappy?
41003While thy fellows have been making merry thou hast been gazing up at yonder lattice? 41003 Whither goest thou?"
41003Who art thou, son of_ sebel_, who vouchest for this dyer''s loyalty, and darest to give orders unto the emissaries of his Majesty?
41003Who art thou, that thou shouldst speak our sacred tongue?
41003Who dareth to gaze upon her with thoughts of affection?
41003Who is the woman?
41003Who seeketh it beside myself?
41003Who was the man who escaped?
41003Whom dost thou mean?
41003Why desirest thou to return to thy land of evil?
41003Why did this tou bab( European) desire to discover it?
41003Why hast thou approached me?
41003Why hast thou given warning?
41003Why standest thou here aloof from thy comrades, O friend?
41003Why? 41003 Why?"
41003Why?
41003Why?
41003Why?
41003Will any act of mine place about thee the walls of security and the stillness of peace?
41003Wilt thou not rest yonder for a while before returning?
41003Yet, during thy travels, hast thou never discovered the Rock of the Great Sin of which the wise men tell?
41003Yukub Sarraf, the Kaid of El- Manaa?
41003Am I a slave, that spies should be set to report upon my doings?"
41003Among the pigmies of the Wambutti?"
41003Are there not many regions still unknown to men?"
41003Art thou ready to adopt my suggestion?"
41003But have we not been told that they kill and eat their captives?
41003But how?
41003But if I failed to discover any exit?
41003But what mission bringest thou hither from the far north, without fighting- men?"
41003By whose hand had those marvellous pictures been chiselled?
41003By whose order had that tablet been prepared?
41003Canst thou not hear the thud of horses''hoofs?
41003Could that spot have been the actual entrance to the Unknown Land?
41003Did she know anything?"
41003Fearest thou to investigate the mysteries of Eblis, or to serve his handmaiden?"
41003From which of its small, closely- barred lattices had the city been revealed to me?
41003Had I not read on the tablet of Semiramis that no stranger was permitted to enter the Kingdom of Ea on penalty of death?
41003Had he ever heard of such a rock?
41003Had not the Sultan warned me that if I again set foot within his empire my life would pay the penalty?
41003Had she, I wondered, lonely and sad, watched from behind the lattice the festivities in the courts below?
41003Hast thou never seen it?"
41003Hast thou not warned thy father of the approach of the hosts of the Khalifa?"
41003Hast thou seen her?"
41003Have I not already expelled thee from this my kingdom?"
41003Have we not been warned that they are among the fiercest cannibals of the Forest of the Congo?"
41003He answered eagerly:"Meanest thou the Great Rock where dwelleth the bird- god Zu,` the wise one''?"
41003Her surprise found echo in the murmurings of the eager, excited crowd; but a moment later she asked,--"How camest thou hither?"
41003How earnest thou by that mystic mark of the serpents?"
41003How many persons inhabit this, thy palace?"
41003I looked at her a moment, dazed, then, rising slowly to my feet, seized her hands, asking,"When shall I set forth?"
41003If it were a man, as I supposed, why should the mark upon my breast have such attraction for him?
41003Might not the exit have been sealed in the same manner as the entrance?
41003Might not the zealously- guarded gate have closed and sunk beneath the surface of the unfathomable waters?
41003Of what character are they?"
41003On earth, who is supreme?
41003Our destinies are written in the Book, and therefore what is there left but to submit?
41003Tell me, why do thy people of the Avejeli regard it as sacred?"
41003Tell me, why shouldst thou interest thyself in my well- being?"
41003Then the Arabs asked,--"Speak, O leader, in what manner shall the pagan''s life be taken?"
41003Then turning, he added,"Hast thou forgotten thou still wearest the silk robe of a eunuch?
41003Then, after blowing out his torch, he addressed me, saying,"Art thou the friend of the Lalla Azala?"
41003There is the sign?"
41003Was I not actually within the Rock of the Great Sin?
41003Was it my ragged, unkempt appearance that had caused her such terror?
41003Was this chamber the sanctum of some seer whose duty it was to forecast the good or evil fortune of the doves of the harem?
41003Was this the Land of the Myriad Mysteries, that region dreaded by my clansmen of the deserts from the Atlas to the Niger?
41003Was this the cavern described in the legends as the entrance to the Land of the No Return?
41003Was this weird, misty gorge, devoid of herbage, and exuding a death- dealing breath, the actual entrance of the territory of all- consuming terror?
41003What could be the significance of the two asps?
41003What meanest this?
41003What meanest thou?"
41003What was she?
41003What was there beyond that impassable barrier?
41003What, I wondered, could these entwined asps denote?
41003What, I wondered, had been their crimes?
41003What, I wondered, was the nature of the great sin to which the rock had remained a mute witness?
41003When may these secrets be revealed unto me?
41003Whence comest thou?"
41003Whence comest thou?"
41003Where is their country?"
41003Whither will it lead us?"
41003Who are they?
41003Who was she?
41003Who were these emaciated, half- starved wretches?
41003Who, we wondered, were the assailants?
41003Why demandest thou an audience in this my dwelling- place?
41003Why dost thou taunt me?"
41003Why goest thou not unto the temple to make sacrifice before the golden image?"
41003Why had unhappiness consumed her?
41003Why not remain here in happiness and contentment?"
41003Why, indeed, had she concealed so much from me?
41003Why?"
41003Would she, I wondered, be successful in releasing me from this horribly maddening captivity?
41003Yet we love each other, though I am a disgraced outcast from the harem, in peril of my life--""Why art thou in such deadly peril?
41003the dwelling- place of the savage reptile that acted as janitor?
20916And how,said the emeer,"can we contrive to enter it, and divert ourselves with a view of its wonders?"
20916And how,said the king,"do they walk in the sea without being wetted?"
20916And what did Imama to Ateca?
20916And what is that?
20916And what may that reason be, sir,replied Ali Baba,"if I may be so bold as to ask you?"
20916And what stratagem is it you would employ?
20916And where,said the sheikh,"is the way to the City of Brass, and the place wherein are the bottles?
20916Are all my sons,demanded he,"in the tower?"
20916But they who will attack you are not to be seen,replied the dervish;"how will you defend yourself against invisible persons?"
20916But wherein have I offended you?
20916From whence come you?
20916Genie,said he,"will not you keep the oath you just now made?"
20916How comes it, child,said the sultaness,"that you do not return my caresses?
20916How many of these pieces,added he,"have you?
20916How, brother?
20916Is that your reward for the service I have rendered you?
20916Know''st thou not that lake?
20916Mother,replied he,"how do you know the sultan has been guilty of a breach of promise?"
20916Mother,said he,"have I an uncle?"
20916My daughter,said he to the princess,"where are the musicians whom I hear?
20916My dear lord,cried she,"do I not deceive myself; is it certain that I hear you, and that you speak to me?"
20916My good mother,replied the Princess Periezade,"what are those?
20916My lovely black,resumed the queen,"what do you mean by the root?"
20916O my son,cried the sultan,"is it possible that you are restored to me?
20916One of them said to the other,''Is not the queen wrong, not to love so amiable a prince?'' 20916 Princes,"cried he,"is it you whom I behold?
20916Sir,said Codadad,"give me leave to ask how you could know the adventure of the castle?
20916Sister,said Prince Bahman,"what is become of all your mirth and gaiety?
20916That is strange,said the fisherman,"are you resolved to reward good with evil?
20916Unhappy woman,said the sultan,"art thou worthy that I should answer thee?"
20916Vizier,replied the sultan,"why will you have it to be enchantment?
20916Well, Aladdin,replied the magician,"what business do you follow?
20916Well, brother,said she, with impatience,"what news do you bring me of my husband?
20916Well, daughter,said he,"are you in a better humour than yesterday?"
20916Well, giggler,said the princess,"will you tell me what you laugh at?"
20916Well, vizier,said he aloud,"who do you think it can be that has sent me so extraordinary a present?
20916Well,continued the sultan,"what sayest thou to such a present?
20916Well,said Baba Mustapha, which was his name, and who was a merry old fellow, looking at the gold,"this is good hansel: what must I do for it?
20916Well,said the emperor,"have you spoken to your sister, and has she consented to the pleasure I expect of seeing you?"
20916Well,said the enchantress,"to pacify you, I am ready to execute your commands; would you have me restore him?"
20916Well,said the sultan,"have you seen Aladdin''s palace?"
20916What calamity hath befallen you?
20916What can be the meaning of this mark?
20916What could you sew up a dead body for? 20916 What do I hear?"
20916What do you here, my dear brothers?
20916What motive can hinder you?
20916What novelty is this?
20916What wouldst thou have?
20916Where are you, my brave lads,cried he,"old companions of my watchings, inroads, and labour?
20916Where,said she,"can he get so many large gold trays, and such precious stones to fill them?
20916Who is this difficult man,said she,"who eats no salt with his meat?
20916''But tell me,''replied he,''can you shoot with a bow?''
20916''But, sir,''said I,''may I presume to ask your Majesty, if strangers be obliged to observe this law?''
20916''Captain,''said I,''was the merchant''s name, to whom those bales belonged, Sinbad?''
20916''Those negroes,''replied they,''eat men, and by what miracle did you escape their cruelty?''
20916''What do you mean, Sinbad?''
20916''You believe him, then, to be dead?''
20916After the proof we have had of his riches, can we think it strange that he should raise a palace in so short a time?
20916Aladdin got up trembling, and with tears in his eyes, said to the magician:"What have I done, uncle, to be treated in this severe manner?"
20916Aladdin''s mother asked the oil- merchant what was the meaning of all this preparation of public festivity?
20916Aladdin, who had never been so far before, began to find himself much tired, and said to the magician:"Where are we going, uncle?
20916And if I could, can I undertake it without exposing so much gold and treasure to him who hath already enriched himself out of it?
20916And ought I not to bestow her on one who values her at so great price?"
20916And the sheikh said:"Are there in this place any of the efreets confined in bottles of brass from the time of Solomon?"
20916And thereupon, Talib, the son of Sahl, said to the Emeer Moosa:"O Emeer, shall we leave this damsel with the things that are upon her?
20916And they replied:''O great King, can Solomon do aught unto thee, when thou art in the midst of this vast sea?
20916And what have I done to deserve one so wretched?"
20916Are they under ground, or invisible in the air?
20916Are you all here alive?
20916Are you allied by blood or love?''
20916Are you not well?
20916Are you of any trade?"
20916Are you resolved to let me die without affording me the comfort of hearing your voice?"
20916As he expected what had happened at Ali Baba''s might make a great noise, he asked his host what news there was in the city?
20916At that summons the genie appeared, and said:"What wouldst thou have?
20916But do you think it an easy matter absolutely to refuse the emperor what he seems so earnestly to desire?
20916But do you think you have merited the honour you would have me ask?
20916But the emeer replied:"Heardest thou not that which the damsel hath given as a charge, in the inscription upon this tablet?
20916But to come to what most particularly concerns me: tell me, I conjure you, how so wicked and perfidious a man treats you?"
20916But what presents have you to make?
20916But who,''added he, looking upon the sultan, my husband,''is that man?
20916Can I believe these are your brothers who have treated you so unmercifully, those brothers whom thy valour had saved?
20916Can not these inspire you with joy and make you forget the fancies of a dream?"
20916Codadad, my dear Codadad,"cried she,"is it you whom I behold just departing this life?
20916Did I not just now set you at liberty, and have you already forgotten my services?"
20916Do not you hear the trumpets of congratulation, and concerts of the finest music?
20916Do not you think, mother, that what I brought home with me the day on which I was delivered from death may be an acceptable present?
20916Do you know what she wants?"
20916Do you not know it?
20916Do you not think the first person I should speak to would take me for a mad woman, and chastise me as I should deserve?
20916Do you think him worthy of the Princess Badroulboudour, my daughter?"
20916Hast thou then a wish to accomplish the affair of the Prince of the Faithful?"
20916Have any of my brothers, repenting, owned it to you?"
20916Have you any other commands?"
20916Have you not been an eye- witness of what it has procured us?
20916He advanced toward the pan, and touching one of the fish with his staff, said, with a terrible voice:"Fish, are you in your duty?"
20916He could not check his anger:"Indiscreet stranger,"said he to Codadad,"why did you let my sons go without bearing them company?
20916He sent for the fisherman, and when he came, said to him:"Fisherman, the fish you have brought us make me very uneasy; where did you catch them?"
20916How came that vile genie to address himself to me, and not to you, to whom he had appeared before in the cave?"
20916How can I open my mouth to make the proposal to the sultan?
20916How could so extraordinary a thought come into your head, as that I should go to the sultan and ask him to give his daughter in marriage to you?
20916How then can she return the salutation?"
20916How then could my heart be happy to quit thee, and to depart from thee?
20916How then shall the affair be?"
20916In what province, country, or part of the world, shall I find that and my dear princess?
20916Is it from insensibility, or contempt?
20916Is it not reasonable that, after all this, I should enjoy a quiet and pleasant life?"
20916Is it not worthy of the princess, my daughter?
20916Is it possible that he does not perceive it?''
20916Is it possible that thou dost not believe me after the solemn oath I have taken?"
20916Madam,"added he, addressing himself to the princess of Deryabar,"do you also forgive me for having concealed my birth from you?
20916May I flatter myself that it is in my power to restore you to the sultan your father, who is inconsolable for the loss of you?
20916Must I spend my life in sloth, when all my brothers have the happiness to be fighting by his side?"
20916Must he go again to that subterranean abode and gather them off the trees?
20916Ought you to treat your mother after this manner?
20916Pray tell us your history, for it must be extraordinary; how did you venture yourself into this river, and whence did you come?''
20916Remember, too, that he would eat no salt with you; and what would you have more to persuade you of his wicked design?
20916She replied:"O my master, is the recompense of beneficence aught but beneficence?
20916She was in as great amazement at what her son told her, as at the appearance of the genie; and said to him:"But, son, what have we to do with genies?
20916So the Emeer Moosa said:"O Sheikh Abd- Es- Samad, what are these people?"
20916So the emeer said to him:"What hast thou seen, O Sheikh?"
20916So the king said to him:"What dost thou desire, O Saleh?"
20916Some said:"Where is that fool going?
20916Suppose I had the impudence to present myself before the sultan, to whom should I address myself to be introduced to his majesty?
20916The Vizier Talib, however, said:"And on account of these words wilt thou leave these riches and these jewels, when she is dead?
20916The apothecary inquired who was ill at her master''s?
20916The emeer said to him:"How long a period doth it require?"
20916The fisherman, when he heard these words of the genie, recovered his courage and said to him:"Thou proud spirit, what is it you say?
20916The genie helped him to dress, and when he had done, transported him back to his own chamber, where he asked him if he had any other commands?
20916The sultan, being much surprised, sent immediately for the fisherman, and said to him:"Friend, can not you bring me four more such fish?"
20916The sultan, growing impatient, demanded of him again:"Where is your palace, and what is become of my daughter?"
20916Then he said to his viziers:''What say ye respecting the affair of Solomon?
20916Then he said to them:"How will you carry away your goods?
20916Then the king of the blacks said to the emeer:"Are ye of mankind, or of the genies?"
20916There, possessed by his despair, he said to himself:"Where shall I seek my palace?
20916Unfortunate Codadad, why did you leave me?"
20916Was it a reason sufficient for him not to cast his eyes on you, because she was somewhat younger?
20916What can I do without you?
20916What could Cassim''s widow do better than accept of this proposal?
20916What craft can sail those perilous seas like the book that has been called a great three- decker to carry tired people to Islands of the Blest?
20916What distance is there between us and it?"
20916What has he done to obtain a lot so agreeable?
20916What have you done to claim such a favour, either for your prince or country?
20916What impudence is this?
20916What name do you call it by?"
20916What relation does he bear to you?
20916What say you, my lads?"
20916What then should she do with these things, which are the ornaments of the world, and the decoration of the living?
20916What would he have?
20916When he came to the door, he said:"Go in; you ought to know whereabouts your palace stood: look round and tell me what is become of it?"
20916When shall I enlist so gallant a troop again?
20916When they were gone, Codadad, directing his discourse to the lady, said:"What place, madam, do you desire to go to?
20916Where are they who enjoy quietly the happiness which they hold of her, and whose day is always clear and serene?"
20916Where has that poor wretch got all this wealth?"
20916Where is he going?
20916Who knows what dangers you and I may be exposed to, which neither of us can foresee, and from which it may deliver us?"
20916Who knows whether I shall ever see you again?
20916Why does he not call me to his assistance?
20916Why should you now doubt of the truth of what the holy woman told you?
20916Why, who are you, son,"continued she,"that you can have the assurance to think of your sultan''s daughter?
20916Will not this step be injurious to that friendship?"
20916You believed he was my uncle, as well as I; and what other thoughts could we entertain of a man who was so kind to me?
20916and what proportion could they bear to the favour you would ask?
20916and where will he get so many such slaves as the sultan requires?
20916child,"said she,"what are you thinking of?
20916cried the genie,"if you have a mind to be informed, open the vessel: do you think that I can be in a humour to relate stories in so strait a prison?
20916cried the mother,"was your lamp then the occasion of that cursed genie''s addressing himself rather to me than to you?
20916exclaimed Ali Baba,"what have you done to ruin me and my family?"
20916he exclaimed,''whom can we trust in these times?
20916my lord,"replied the young man,"how is it possible but I should grieve, and my eyes be inexhaustible fountains of tears?"
20916my son,"cried the African magician with a sigh,"how can I forbear?
20916or has some misfortune befallen you?
20916replied he,"you would have me do something against my conscience or against my honour?"
20916replied he,''how do you think I should obtain the favour you wish me?
20916replied the fisherman,"why should you kill me?
20916replied the prince;"and what difficulties do you find in so doing?"
20916replied the queen,"why do you reproach me thus?"
20916replied the sultan;"who can have that audacity?"
20916said Ali Baba,"what is it you show me?
20916said Codadad;"whence come these miserable lamentations, which pierce my ears?"
20916said he;"and with what design were these cucumbers stuffed thus with pearls, since pearls are not to be eaten?"
20916said she, addressing herself to the sultan, conceiving him to be the black,"My sun, my life, will you always be silent?
20916said she,"has Ali Baba gold so plentiful as to measure it?
20916said she,"what will become of me?
20916said the first,''how should he?
20916what are they, madam?''
20916which has condemned me to lead a life of calamities, if you will not permit me to have a consort, why did you permit me to find one?
20916why dost thou not swallow up that monster so revolting to human nature, or rather why dost thou not swallow up this pair of monsters?''
52782''Hello,''says I,''when did you git in? 52782 About what matter?"
52782Ah, you''re finding our boy out, eh?
52782Ai n''t you going for to make some sorter effort to git your hosses out of the field?
52782Ai n''t you got no sense? 52782 All the way through the dark for that?
52782And so this is Mr. Simmons, the famous negro hunter?
52782And so you did n''t catch him; and your fine dogs are finer now than they ever were?
52782And then what?
52782And what was you doing all that time?
52782And what wonderful person will do this for you, my boy?
52782And when are you going home to your master?
52782Are you still in the woods, Aaron?
52782But if we find them, Son of Ben Ali?
52782But what was the nigger doing at your place?
52782But, Colonel, if he''s that, what do you want him caught for?
52782But, Colonel,drawled Mr. Simmons,"what under the sun ever got the idee in your head that Addison Abercrombie_ is_ harboring your nigger?"
52782But, Colonel,remonstrated Mr. Jim Simmons,"did n''t you send for me?
52782By what means did you know that the horse had been left without food and water?
52782Can you pass them here?
52782Can you walk, Master?
52782Dat ar Aaron had um atter''i m, an''what''d he do?
52782Den how come I ca n''t fool dem ar dogs?
52782Did I say that? 52782 Did anybody cross from the other side this morning?"
52782Did he go into the cabins?
52782Did n''t you hear him when he butted me?
52782Did you fellows see It?
52782Did you notice,said the young man who was first to see the apparition,"that the Thing that was riding the Thing had no head?"
52782Do n''t he open on track?
52782Do n''t you know dey done foun''out whar you stays at? 52782 Do n''t you know what a runaway is?
52782Do you think you''d''a''caught him, Colonel, taking into account all the circumstances and things?
52782Ear- marks? 52782 Got who?"
52782Have you ever paid Abercrombie?
52782Have you ever visited that country?
52782Have you seen a pistol lying loose anywhere around here?
52782Here?
52782Honey, ai n''t it de trufe?
52782How came it so red, den?
52782How come any chil''out dis time er night?
52782How come, I like ter know?
52782How come? 52782 How come?"
52782How long have you been standing here?
52782How you know?
52782Hurt much, Master?
52782I charged you interest, did n''t I, Simmons?
52782I did n''t say I was going to catch him, did I?
52782I did n''t say he could n''t get away from my dogs, did I?
52782I''d git de meat-- but dey mout ketch''i m, an''den what''d I look like?
52782If they were after the runaway, what on earth did he mean by going in this direction?
52782Is anybody ever hear de beat er dat? 52782 Is dat Aaron?"
52782Is that Sound?
52782Is that so?
52782Is that so?
52782Is that so?
52782Jim Simmons? 52782 Jimmy, you did n''t go and apologize to that old buzzard for what I said, did you?"
52782Kin you handle dish yer paddle? 52782 Man, ai n''t you tired?"
52782Man, what you think?
52782May I ask the old man there a few questions?
52782Me? 52782 Me?
52782Me?
52782Mine? 52782 Nothing?"
52782Of course they are-- how can they help themselves?
52782Of course you believed in the country next door to the world?
52782Oh, have you been admitted to the sanctum?
52782On what bank, Gossett?
52782Only three, Son of Ben Ali? 52782 Shall I go too?"
52782Shall I have Timoleon put in the new stable to- night?
52782Shall I ride him down, Son of Ben Ali?
52782Shall I use a club on you, White Grunter? 52782 Sho nuff?"
52782Suh?
52782Supposing you had,suggested Mr. Simmons,"would you''a''done it?
52782That you, Terrell?
52782The child with the crutches?
52782The missing boat? 52782 Then that''s the reason you think Abercrombie ai n''t harboring my nigger?"
52782Up or down?
52782Was a bateau missing from this side this morning?
52782Was anybody with you in the bateau when you went down the river this morning?
52782Was he in that one?
52782Well?
52782Were the bloodhounds after him?
52782Were you hunting the runaway?
52782Whar yo''huffs? 52782 What Aaron done done?"
52782What are the ear- marks, ma''am?
52782What are you crying about?
52782What dat?
52782What dey doin''out dar?
52782What did you find?
52782What did you see? 52782 What do I think?
52782What do you see in the man?
52782What do you suppose the trouble was?
52782What do you think now?
52782What has this great man ever done for you, Simmons?
52782What horse?
52782What is the noise about, Lucy?
52782What is your name?
52782What kind er folks is you?
52782What two things, Colonel?
52782What was that dog barking at just now?
52782What was the trouble, Randall?
52782What were they talking about?
52782What wid?
52782What yo''name?
52782What you doin''?
52782What you gwine ter do?
52782What you gwine ter lan''on the same side wid Jim Simmons fer?
52782What''s that?
52782What''s that?
52782What''s what?
52782What''s your name?
52782When was that?
52782Where did the voice come from?
52782Where is this country that is next door to the world?
52782Where is your runaway? 52782 Where''s my pistol?"
52782Where''s the ford?
52782Whereabouts is that country?
52782Which way did It go?
52782Which way did he go, Uncle Jake?
52782White er blue?
52782Who are you?
52782Who carried the bateau over the shoals this morning?
52782Who is you? 52782 Who lives there?"
52782Who said anything about fire? 52782 Who was it?"
52782Who was with you in the bateau?
52782Who''s behind you?
52782Who? 52782 Who?"
52782Why did you come?
52782Why, confound it, do n''t you know this horse is as wild as a buck? 52782 Whyn''t you go in an''see whether Aaron was in there?"
52782Would you teach me?
52782Wuz you, sho nuff?
52782Yes, ai n''t that Gossett?
52782Yes, where?
52782You are still anxious to punish the poor man who was hurt by the horse?
52782You gwine dar to Gossett''s? 52782 You know that new school teacher at Abercrombie''s?"
52782You wish what?
52782You''ve saved your$ 30, hain''t you?
52782You? 52782 Your runaway?
52782A runaway sitting by his side and driving a fractious and easily frightened horse without bit or bridle?
52782A''on gwine in dar en put dat ar hoss up?
52782Ai n''t you coming?
52782Am I a horse to be ridden?
52782An''whar de lines?
52782And more than that: do n''t I know from my own niggers that the yaller rapscallion comes here every chance he gets?
52782And the reply was,"Well, why not?"
52782And was it truly true that he had ever worn a shoe as small as that?
52782And who''s going to hurt me, pap?"
52782And why did Susy''s Sam hang back and want to turn his mule around before he had finished the furrow?
52782And why should he come whirling back at dusk,--a red cloud of dust rising beneath the Gray Pony''s feet?
52782Are you fixing to have me killed?
52782But did Aaron have the same power over his own master?
52782But what difference did that make?
52782But what is it to be touched?
52782But where?
52782Ca n''t you put him in his stable?"
52782Ca n''t you talk?
52782Could it be that by some noiseless shifting of the scenery he was even now in the country next door to the world?
52782De speckled pullet hollered shoo ter hawk, but what good did dat do?"
52782Did he know the paths?
52782Did n''t Aaron belong to Chunky Riley''s master?
52782Did n''t he double and turn and go back the way he came, to be caught and killed on dry land?
52782Did n''t he have the Simmons nigger- dogs after him that very day?
52782Did n''t his master try to catch him?
52782Did n''t the Colonel send one of his nigger women to the quarters on the Abercrombie plantation?
52782Did n''t the woman say she had seen the runaway?
52782Did n''t you buy him and pay your money down for him?
52782Did n''t you say,''Glad to see you, Simmons; walk right in and make yourself at home''?
52782Do n''t you know dey er gwine ter hunt you in de mornin''?
52782Do n''t you know dey got de dogs dar?
52782Do n''t you know he''ll ketch you ef you do dat?
52782Do n''t you know some er de niggers''ll see you-- an''maybe de overseer?
52782Do n''t you know you ca n''t git away fum dem dogs fer ter save yo''life?"
52782Do n''t you reckon you could tell when anybody was trying to insult you?
52782Do n''t you think it''s cunning?"
52782Do n''t you want him out of the woods?
52782Do n''t you want ter b''long ter Sally Ward?"
52782Do you blame me, Colonel?"
52782Do you keep him in a box and permit only your best friends to peep at him occasionally?"
52782Ear- marks?
52782Ef I squeeze too tight, des say de word;"and then,"Whar we gwine, honey?
52782Fer catching the nigger?
52782Fullalove?"
52782Git him out, did I say?
52782Had he seen the horses?
52782Has he escaped?"
52782Have stray dogs crept under the door?
52782He felt that he and his father had been wronged by some one, he could n''t say who, but not by the runaway, for what was a"nigger,"anyhow?
52782He jumped as if he had heard the report of a gun, and cried out in a tone of alarm:--"Who flung dat rock?
52782He knew by the scent of the cigar that the voices he heard belonged to white men: but who were they?
52782Him harbor niggers?
52782Hit''s some trouble ter git de corn off''n de cob, but spozen dey want no corn on de cob, what den?"
52782How am I to do it?"
52782How come dey ai n''t no niggers but de Gossett niggers in de woods?
52782How come you got ter go up de river?"
52782How come you ter know''bout de missin''boat?"
52782How could this be?
52782How did Aaron know that the horse had gone without water and food?
52782How did he know?
52782How did the Swamp know?
52782I tried to make the hoss stand, but he would n''t, and, just then, what should I see but two great big wildcats trying to sneak up on me?
52782I wonder if he''s taken up over here?
52782I''m so small, and-- and so crippled, you know, nobody would ever think I had a runaway?"
52782If Aaron really had any influence over his own master, why did n''t he stay at home instead of going into the woods?
52782If it was too late for him to learn the language of the animals, how could he hope to interpret the prophecies of the constellations?
52782If we find them, shall I use my teeth?"
52782Is anybody ever see de beat er dat?
52782Is that it?"
52782Is we dat close?"
52782Jimmy do n''t owe you nothin'', does he?"
52782Man, who is you?"
52782Marster, how in de name er goodness kin you drive dish yer hoss widout bridle er lines?"
52782May I examine your neck to see what can be done?"
52782Me?"
52782Now what do you pay me fer?
52782Now, how come dat?
52782Now, if he was n''t a nigger what was he trying to play nigger for?
52782Now, was n''t he wise for his age?
52782Now, where does he go?"
52782Oh, is n''t there some one to hear me?"
52782Once there, was there a hound that would venture to take a bath with him?
52782Saddle''em by sun- up?
52782Says he,''Will you please, sir, give me as much as a spoonful of low- wines for to rub on my legs?''
52782Shall I make bacon of you?
52782She''s a scorcher, ai n''t she?"
52782Smoke without fire?
52782Suppose that some quagmire or other in that there swamp has gone and got up a ruction on its own hook?
52782That is, if Aaron could n''t call the elements to his aid-- but suppose he could?
52782Was he following the rolling echoes?
52782Was he listening?
52782Was it Mr. Coon or Cousin Coon?
52782Was it for this,--for this,--her darling child had been born?
52782Was it indeed true?
52782Was it the runaway''s intention to jump suddenly from the buggy and strike the horse with the whip?
52782Was n''t he a runaway?
52782Was n''t there a snap and a snarl when the partridge- pea vine caught his foot?
52782Was n''t there a splash and a splutter as he ran into the quagmire?
52782Was one of the bateaux missing this morning?"
52782Well, then, why did n''t his master keep Aaron while he had him in the buggy?
52782Were n''t the chances ten to one that when she saw him she told him that Simmons would be after him in the morning?
52782Whar you say de key is?"
52782What about foxfire?
52782What am I that my food should be thrown at me through the cracks?
52782What am I to do to- day?"
52782What are you doing now?"
52782What could the Little Master want at this early hour?
52782What could the rest hope for if so fierce a creature as the White Pig could be disposed of in this fashion?
52782What demon was this that had seized the White Grunter and was carrying him off?
52782What does that mean?"
52782What have you done with your hosses?"
52782What living and moving creetur could build a fire in that thicket?
52782What man am I to carry, Son of Ben Ali?"
52782What then?
52782What then?
52782What was he up to?
52782What was the rider''s errand?
52782What was this going on right before his eyes?
52782What yo''name, honey?"
52782What''d I do out dar by myse''f at night?
52782What''s to hinder you?
52782What, then, was to be done?
52782When did you come to like me so well?"
52782When everything was ready, the question arose, how was the horse to be removed to his new quarters?
52782When the time comes for the cart I shall have-- what do you call it?"
52782Where did the nigger go?
52782Where''ve you been?"
52782Who are you, anyhow?"
52782Who else would dare to hurt him, or even threaten to hurt him?
52782Who is dat?
52782Who knows?
52782Who stopped him?"
52782Who talked of turns where the Little Master was concerned?
52782Who''s going to know where the fire is?"
52782Who, then, but Abercrombie?
52782Why could n''t the track dogs catch him?
52782Why did he sit still and allow the runaway to go back to the woods?
52782Why not stay here with me to- morrow, and the next day?"
52782Why should I doubt your word?"
52782Why should he go skimming along the red road at day dawn?
52782Why, then, should a thin but steady stream of blue smoke be constantly rising upwards from the centre of Spivey''s Canebrake?
52782Why, what on the face of the earth do you mean?
52782Why?
52782Why?
52782Why?
52782Will dey ketch you ef I tell?"
52782Would Mr. Coon of the Swamp ever be caught on dry land?
52782Would she hasten it?
52782You ca n''t help seeing what''s right at you, can you?"
52782You reckon he gwine ter foller you ter de landin''en den turn right''roun''in his tracks en go back?"
52782You''d have Jim Simmons''s nigger dogs atter you, an''den what''d you do?"
52782Your name, Son of Ben Ali?"
52782[ Illustration: HE EDGED AWAY AS FAR AS HE COULD]"What is it?"
52782[ Illustration: THE EXCITED HORSE PLUNGED ALONG]"Hurt much?"
52782[ Illustration: THE HORSES WERE RIGHT AT HIS HEELS]"Is anybody ever see de beat er dat?"
52782and"Whar you been, Little Marster, dat we ai n''t seed you sence day''fo''yistiddy?"
52782he cried;"ai n''t he your nigger?
52782he cried;"what queer country is this, where all the birds are headless?
52782how can you put such an idea in the child''s mind?"
52782insisted Mr. Jim Simmons with his careless, irritating drawl,"ai n''t it a plum''fact that this nigger''s been in the woods a month or sech a matter?
5612About a year after, he took him aside, and said to him, Well, son, have you thoroughly considered of what I proposed to you last year about marrying?
5612About the middle of the might, the miller came to my brother, and said, Neighbour, are you asleep?
5612After the first compliments were passed, they inquired what had brought me hither?
5612Agreeable Maimoune, replied Danhasch, may I presume to ask you what this prince is called?
5612Alas, sir, answered she, trembling, who are you?
5612Am I not handsome and agreeable?
5612Am not I a customer to your shop?
5612Am not I unhappy to be born to love, without hope of enjoying him whom I love?
5612Amgrad did all he could to hinder her: What are you doing, madam?
5612Amgrad drank and rose: Where are you going?
5612Amgrad, cried he, what shall we do?
5612And do not you agree that there is no wickedness equal to that of women?
5612And for what crime?
5612And how can I, when I think of your sweet face, entertain that prince with that joy which he always observed in my eyes whenever he came to see me?
5612And what did Imama to Ateca, replies the fisherman?
5612And what hinders you from revealing the secret, says she?
5612And what is that, says the fisherman?
5612And why should I endeavour to live after she is dead?
5612And why should not my eyes be inexhaustible fountains of tears?
5612And why, fool, said the man of the house, do you not answer at first, when people ask you who is there?
5612Another voice asked, What need had the princess of the dervize''s prayers?
5612Are these the actions of Mussulmen, of persons who make professions of probity and justice, and practise all manner of good works?
5612Are you in the contrivance, then, villain?
5612Are you resolved to let me die, without giving me so much comfort as to tell me that you love me?
5612Art thou not now convinced how much thy princess is inferior to my prince in charms?
5612As soon as I saw him, I entreated him to alight, and asked him if he would not take his money?
5612As soon as my wife heard me say so, she immediately cried out, What do you do, husband?
5612Assad awoke at the noise he made, and asked, Who''s there?
5612At these words the children cried out, Agib, What do you say?
5612Bedreddin, astonished at the sight, said, with a pitiful tone, Pray, good people, why do you serve me so?
5612Bedreddin, lifting up his head, said, What is the matter?
5612Before I took leave of the merchant, I asked him if he knew the lady?
5612Before we told down the money, she asked me several questions, and particularly if I was married?
5612Besides, what is become of Schemselnihar and the prince of Persia?
5612But captain, says I, was the merchant''s name, to whom those bales belonged, Sindbad?
5612But for what, good nurse?
5612But he soon heard a voice, which said, Do you know what honest man this is to whom we have done this piece of service?
5612But how could she get into this tower without my consent?
5612But is what you say true?
5612But must we stop here?
5612But pray, replies the cadi, what offence could your master do to me, to oblige me to use him after that rate?
5612But shall we rather flatter ourselves that we may see one another?
5612But tell me what sort of men your brothers are: were they like you?
5612But tell me, replies he, Can you shoot with a bow?
5612But then, brother, says he further, if this marriage should happen, would you expect that my son should settle a jointure on your daughter?
5612But what do I say?
5612But what means have I to come at the knowledge of her?
5612But wherein have I offended you, replies the fisherman?
5612But why do I talk of that?
5612But why should your fear of wronging an innocent man hinder your putting this physician to death?
5612But, replies he, how came you into my dominions, and from whence came you last?
5612But, sir, says I, may I presume to demand of your majesty, if strangers be obliged to observe this law?
5612By what adventure, said she,( fetching a deep sigh,) are you come hither?
5612By what means will you now carry on your correspondence with Schemselnihar?
5612Can I relish his kind words and caresses?
5612Can I see the caliph cheek to cheek with her that I love, and not die of grief?
5612Can not the heads you see on all the gates of this city deter you from such an undertaking?
5612Can the wife of a sovereign, such as I am, be capable of such an infamous action?
5612Can you flatter yourself so far as to believe that the trifling adventures of a young rake can make such an impression upon me as those of my jester?
5612Dare you swear it by the name of the great God?
5612Daughter, said she, you know well you was alone in this apartment; how then could any man come to you?
5612Dear sister, said they to her, what is the matter?
5612Dear sister, says Dinarzade, how surprising are the last events you have told us?
5612Did not I expose myself to a greater danger in getting him out of a house where I thought he was ill- treated?
5612Did not I tell you truly that you would expose your life by your obstinate refusal to let me go with you?
5612Did not he throw himself into danger, and could he have come off so well without my assistance?
5612Did not you sit down when you came hither, replies the genie?
5612Did not you take dates out of your portmanteau, and, as you ate them, did not you throw the shells about on both sides?
5612Did you not rise from me but now?
5612Did you think I came so boldly into your house to ask alms?
5612Do not you and I both know what is just?
5612Do you assure me, then, that you will cure me of my leprosy, without making me take any potion, or applying any external medicine?
5612Do you believe, said she, that the hope of seeing me would contribute any thing to rescue him from the danger he is in?
5612Do you imagine that she has any real occasion for your stuffs?
5612Do you know me?
5612Do you know, continued he, that I am master of the secret to make you white, instead of being black as you are?
5612Do you not see this poor man so heavy loaded, that he is scarcely able to stand under it?
5612Do you remember ever seeing me before?
5612Do you see this charming beauty?
5612Do you take Heaven to be witness to this promise, says the genie?
5612Do you think that I would suffer such a filthy fellow to touch me?
5612Do you think there may not be a pastry- cook in the world who knows how to make cream- tarts as well as your son?
5612Does not all that you see make you understand that it is the palace of a Bermecide?
5612Dost thou think I am as perfidious an elf as thyself, and that I am capable of breaking the serious oath I have made?
5612From whom have you this, answered the king, that you dare tell it me?
5612Gentlemen, said he, I am much troubled for that young man and the lady; can you tell me any thing of them?
5612God help you also, answered he, is it possible you do not know me?
5612Good God, cried Bedreddin, what news is this?
5612Good man, replied the servant, whence do you come, that you ask such a question?
5612Good people, replied the cadi, for what should I assassinate your master, whom I do not know, and who has done no offence?
5612Great queen, replied Assad, with tears in his eyes, does your majesty ask what my name was formerly, or what it is now?
5612Had I not better, think you, have tarried in Bagdad, and undergone any fate, rather than have been reduced to this extremity?
5612Has any thing disquieted you?
5612Has he actually no other disease than what is occasioned by the love of me?
5612Has he any reason to complain of me, and to give me so many bad words?
5612Have I given you any occasion to be uneasy?
5612Have you not read the inscription over the gate?
5612Have you seen her confident?
5612Have you shut those eyes that showed me so much love, and were all my joy?
5612Having let down her veil, she told me that she wanted several sorts of the richest and finest stuffs, and asked me if I had them?
5612He advanced towards the pan, and touching one of the fishes with his baton, says to it with a terrible voice,"Fish, art thou in thy duty?"
5612He asked me who I was, and by what adventure I came into his dominions?
5612He asked the princess, in great anger, what has happened to you, and why did you call me?
5612He entered the court full of fear, and perceived a man, who asked him who he was?
5612He has perhaps cured you only in appearance, and not radically; who knows but the medicines he has given you may in time have pernicious effects?
5612He saluted me, and pulling out his handkerchief, where he had a sample of sesame and Turkey corn, asked me what a bushel of such sesame would fetch?
5612He sent for the fisherman; and when he came, says to him, Fisherman, the fishes you have brought us make me very uneasy; where did you catch them?
5612He stopped his horse, asked who she was, how she came to be alone in that place, and what she wanted?
5612He then stepped towards the bed, and said to her, Pray, madam, tell me, is it long since I left you?
5612He your husband, madam?
5612Honest man, said the vizier, who art thou?
5612How came that axe and those ropes there?
5612How came the lady hither who lay with me tonight, and who brought her?
5612How can I appear abroad again without mustachos?
5612How can I have contributed to it?
5612How could she get in here, and by what conveyance, without my consent?
5612How could you resolve, says he, to bring me your own daughter?
5612How did they take the punishment I commanded to be executed on them?
5612How didst thou do, said he, to avoid being taken by the watch?
5612How it comes that each of you have but one eye?
5612How know you, replied the jeweller, that I have another house?
5612How like you this bread?
5612How little reason had I, says he, to think that no one was so unfortunate as myself?
5612How long will you be silent?
5612How shall I get rid of this cursed barber?
5612How, madam, said he, what is it I must believe?
5612How, replied I, did not you tell me the other day that he sat down before your window when you opened it to water your flower- pot?
5612How, replied the gardener, do you imagine I will take these riches as mine which you found out?
5612How, says the dog,, what would you have him to do?
5612Hump- back, who was furiously mad at Bedreddin, suspecting him to be his rival, gave him a cross look, and said, And thou, what dost thou wait for?
5612I also knew the captain; but, being persuaded that he believed me to be drowned, I went and asked him whose bales these were?
5612I am a poet, an architect, nay, what is it I am not?
5612I asked him what reason he had thus to despair?
5612I asked the old woman what was become of the favourite lady?
5612I asked them what brought them there?
5612I believe such a violent proceeding was never heard of before; but against whom should I make my complaint?
5612I called to him, and said, Good slave, pray thee tell me where thou hadst this apple?
5612I cried, Dear cousin, what is the meaning of this?
5612I entertained him very kindly, and asked him how his mistress did?
5612I have e''en made an end of the fellow who was brought to me to be cured?
5612I lifted up my head, and looking wistfully to my husband, Alas, said I, to what condition am I reduced?
5612I must obey him; and what a dismal employment is that for a father?
5612I own I am the man, replied Bedreddin; but pray what crime is that?
5612I put on a sad countenance, and fetched many deep sighs, and began to squeeze out some tears: My good mother, said she, what is the matter with you?
5612I question if ever you come back again on the same errand?
5612I sat up, and asked her who she was?
5612I saw Sindbad perish with my own eyes, and the passengers on board saw it as well as I, and yet you tell me that you are that Sindbad?
5612I saw three apples lying by her, and asked where she had them?
5612I should be glad to know of your majesty for what reason?
5612I suffered myself to be tied as well as the rest, without speaking one word: for to what purpose should I have spoken, or made any resistance?
5612I think you told me you left him behind in the city of the idolaters: can you tell me what he does there?
5612I told him I had the headache, and hoped he would inquire no further; but he took a candle, and saw that my cheek was hurt: How comes this wound?
5612I took out what was most valuable in my bales, and presented it to King Mihrage, who, knowing my misfortune, asked me how I came by such rarities?
5612If I do not know him, said the princess, would you have me to make a lie on purpose to ruin him?
5612If he is, how came he in, or who could have introduced him?
5612If you cast your eyes on the other side, steering up towards Ethiopia, how many other objects of admiration?
5612If you look, added he, towards the island that is formed by the two great branches of the Nile, what variety of verdure have you there?
5612If you speak of the Nile, pray where is there a more admirable river?
5612If your own breast can not keep your secret, how do you think that another person will keep it?
5612Immediately the cadi ran himself, opened the door, and asked what they wanted?
5612In the mean time, what advantage do you reap by all the indignities you suffer?
5612In this condition, and after the thieves had left them, the prince said to the jeweller, What is to be done, my friend, in this conjuncture?
5612In what can I serve you?
5612In what terms shall I express the trouble that I am in?
5612Is Schemselnihar then dead?
5612Is he in my house?
5612Is it a capital crime to make a bad creamtart?
5612Is it bashfulness, said she, that keeps you from speaking?
5612Is it from want of sense, or out of contempt?
5612Is it not enough that he is accused of a design against your life to authorize you to take away his?
5612Is it not just to kill him that has killed another?
5612Is it not reasonable, that, after all this, I should enjoy a quiet and pleasant life?
5612Is it possible they can be insensible of the dangerous consequences of their correspondence?
5612Is it possible they should be capable of taking a man''s life for not putting pepper in a cream- tart?
5612Is it possible, sir, said she, that you take me for an impudent beggar?
5612Is it possible, thought I to myself, that these ladies can be so nice and vindictive for so small a fault?
5612Is it so?
5612Is it thus, replies the physician, that you reward me for curing you?
5612Is it true what you say?
5612Is it true, said he, that you are willing to deliver it for fifty sherriffs?
5612Is not Grand Cairo the largest, the most populous, and the richest city in the universe?
5612Is not this she, said he, whom the sultan my father would have had me marry?
5612Is not this your hatchet?
5612Is that true?
5612It is your company alone that is comfortable to me: but, in a word, I conjure you not to dissemble with me; what news do you bring of Schemselnihar?
5612Know ye, says the king, when he saw him, why I sent for you?
5612Know you that pond, says the sultan to the vizier?
5612Madam, answered the nurse, is it to jest and impose upon us that your highness asks these questions?
5612Madam, said he, how could you live with such wicked people as I have now so justly revenged myself upon?
5612Madam, says the caliph, where is the bundle of hair?
5612May I flatter myself that yours have the same impatience to see me?
5612May not I have so much time, said he, as to take some money and jewels along with me?
5612May one ask you; said I, by what mischance it was that you lost your right hand?
5612Mr Bedreddin, said I to the merchant, what do you say, you must have for this stuff that belongs to me?
5612Must I be rifled, and have all the godds in my house broken in pieces, imprisoned in a chest, and at last nailed to a stake?
5612Must fate add new misfortunes to just complaints?
5612Must such a passionate love as mine be disturbed by so potent a rival?
5612My brother gave no answer, and knocked a second time: the master of the house asked again, Who is there?
5612My dear little one, said he, what hast thou in thy bosom?
5612My dear lord, says she, do not I deceive myself?
5612My dear sisters, says she, are you content that they come in?
5612My lord, replied the slave, I know of no such lady; and if there was any such, how should she come in without my knowledge, since I lay at the door?
5612My lord, said the Jew, then you sell unto me, for a thousand sequins, the lading of the first of your ships that shall arrive in port?
5612My lovely black, replies she, what do you mean by the roots?
5612My son, said, he, you seem to be a young man well educated, and of good sense; how is it possible that you could be guilty of such an unworthy action?
5612No, let me rather die, said the prince; for what signifies it whether I die here or elsewhere?
5612No, said the younger, I will not consent to that; are we not brethren, and equal in title and dignity?
5612Oh, Lord, and for what( cried the lady, feigning astonishment) would they have used you so cruelly?
5612On his arrival, king Camaralzaman asked him if he had done what he ordered?
5612One day as I sat taking the cool air at my gate, a very fine lady came to me, and asked if I did not sell stuffs?
5612One day he knocked thus at a door, and the master of the house, who was alone, cried, Who is there?
5612One of them says to the other, Is not the queen much in the wrong not to love such an amiable prince as this?
5612Perfidious wretch, said the genie to her, pointing at me, is not this your gallant?
5612Pray tell us your history, for it must be extraordinary; how did you venture yourself into this river, and whence did you come?
5612Pray, tell me what crime I am guilty of, to have deserved this usage?
5612Princess, cried I, what means all this?
5612See now what has happened to you by your own fault; and if I had not resolutely followed you to see whither you went, what would have become of you?
5612Seeing that he did not enter, Why do not you come into your house?
5612She is not afraid to expose her life for me, and would you have me to regard mine?
5612She returned a third time; and, at that interview, when we were both warm with wine, she spoke thus: My dear heart, what do you think of me?
5612Should not I and my family be quite destroyed?
5612Silent man, said he to him, I understand that you know wonderful stories; will you tell me some of them?
5612Silent man, said the sultan, speak to me; why do you laugh so hard?
5612Sir, replied one of the domestics, will you listen to a robber, who enters people''s houses to plunder and murder them?
5612Sir, said he, with a dulness that put me out of all patience, what reason have you to be angry with me?
5612Sir, said the barber, what do you mean by that?
5612Sir, says he, why would your majesty take away my life?
5612Some days after, not knowing who I was, he asked me if I knew any trade?
5612Son, said he, I desire you to tell me what lady that was who lay with you last night, as I have been told?
5612Son, said he, what are you going to do?
5612Tell me rather by what miracle you became intrusted with the rarest treasure that ever was in the world?
5612Tell me, I conjure you, added he, what cruel lady this is, who forces people to love her, without giving them time to advise?
5612Tell me, is it just to impute an unhappy accident to people who no ways contributed towards it?
5612Tell me, said the princess, what is become of the young man that has lain with me to- night, and whom I love with all my soul?
5612Tell me, then, wandering spirit, whence thou comest, what thou hast seen, and what mischief thou hast done this night?
5612That is very strange, says the fisherman, are you resolved to reward good for evil?
5612The brokers and criers having thus promised to put me in a way of losing nothing by my goods, I asked them what course they would have me take?
5612The caliph, moved with compassion, says to the fisherman, Hast thou the courage to go back and cast thy nets once more?
5612The caliph, perceiving that he did not meddle with me, grew angry: Did not I command thee, said he, to cut off the heads of ten highwaymen?
5612The caliph, who heard this, came up to him and the other calenders, and asked them what might be the meaning of all this?
5612The captain, in his turn, demanded of the prince whether he was not a debtor to the king of Ebene?
5612The case being so, what a fool am I to kill myself with grief?
5612The cock, standing up on tip- toe, answers the dog fiercely, And why should I not do it to- day as well as other days?
5612The day after the death of the youngest, not finding her at table, I asked her eldest sister what was become of her?
5612The eunuch, perceiving that he followed them, was extremely surprised: You impertinent fellow, said he, with an angry tone, what do you want?
5612The eunuch, redoubling his pace, with much difficulty got up with him, when, taking him by the arm, he cried, Whither away so fast, sir?
5612The farmer''s daughter came: My good maid, says I, can you restore my son to his former shape?
5612The genie( continued she) having promised to speak the truth, the fisherman says to him, I would know if you were actually in this vessel?
5612The grandmother, frowning on the eunuch, said, How now, Schaban?
5612The judge did not give ear to all that was said in my behalf, but asked the cayalier if he suspected anybody else besides me?
5612The lady hearing of my arrival, and that I was not well, came to me in all haste: My dear soul, said she, what is the matter with you?
5612The lady, on the contrary, being transported at the sight, cried out, How, my lord, did you fear there was nothing ready?
5612The lady, seeing a handsome young man just come out of the bath, asked him, with a smiling air, whither he was going?
5612The lady, who enjoyed his confusion, said, Once more, I pray you, my lord, come to bed again; why do you stand?
5612The master of the house being surprised, stopped him: Where are you going?
5612The neighbourhood came, and asked what ailed him, and what relief he wanted that they could give?
5612The pastry- cook, seeing them all gone, asked him what he was, and who brought him hither?
5612The people who gathered pepper came to meet me, and, as soon as they saw me, asked me in Arabic, who I was, and whence I came?
5612The queen answered, have you two names then?
5612The sultan asked the fisherman, how far the pond might be from the palace?
5612The sultan caused them to bring in a chess- board, and asked me, by a sign, if I understood that game, and would play with him?
5612The sultan smiled at the barber''s liberty, and replied, Why do you ask?
5612The sultan, perceiving his surprise, said to him in a mild way, Do you know, son, for what reason I have sent for you hither?
5612The young man cast his eyes upon me, and said, My good lady, pray let me know who you are, and what has brought you to this desolate city?
5612Then addressing himself to the audience, Did you ever hear, said he, such a surprising story as has happened on account of my little crooked buffoon?
5612Then she will prostrate herself at my feet, kiss them, and say to me, Sir, is it possible that you can suspect my daughter''s chastity?
5612Then tell me sincerely, said he, how you came by this wound?
5612Then the caliph asked the criminals which of them it was that so cruelly murdered the lady, and threw her into the Tigris?
5612Therefore I answered the genie, How should I know her, that never saw her till now?
5612This action frightened the fisherman: Genie, says he, what is the meaning of that; will not you keep the oath you made, just now?
5612This is my history, O prince of genies, do not you think it very extraordinary?
5612This is the history of myself and this bitch, is it not one of the most wonderful and surprising that can be?
5612This, sir, is the story I had to tell you: does not your majesty find it yet more surprising than that of the crooked buffoon?
5612Those blacks, replied they, eat men; but by what miracle did you escape their cruelty?
5612To this end, he sent immediately for the fisherman, and says to him, Friend, can not you bring me four more such fishes?
5612To whom, think you, belongs this slave?
5612Unhappy wretch, said the sultan, art thou worthy that I should answer thy discourse?
5612Upon this the sultan said again to his daughter, How do you know that this prince has been transformed by enchantment into an ape?
5612Upon this, the beautiful lady says to her, Pray sister, come in, what do you stay for?
5612Upon which, turning to me, And thou, said he, dost thou hot know her?
5612Very well, replies the fisherman, shall I speak to you with more civility, and call you the owl of good luck?
5612Very well, says the enchantress, to pacify you, I am ready to do what you will command me; would you that I restore him as he was?
5612Was it not enough to be afflicted for the death of so dear a father?
5612Was it not you, replied they, who made the cream- tart you sold to the eunuch?
5612Was it not you, said they, who sold this eunuch the cream- tart?
5612Was it you that took the gentleman''s purse from him?
5612Well then, my abused daughter, said he, can you give me no further light into this matter?
5612Well, cried Schemseddin, turning to Schaban, after all this, will you continue to deny that you entered the pastry- cook''s house, and ate there?
5612Well, how do you relish it?
5612Well, replies the king, why is that book so precious as you talk of?
5612Well, said the king, in what condition did you find my son?
5612Were you born blind of the right eye?
5612What a prodigious number of cities, villages, canals, and a thousand other agreeable objects?
5612What answer, however, could the jeweller have made, in the deplorable condition he was placed?
5612What are you afraid of?
5612What beauty, or rather what prodigy of beauty, said she within herself, will this youth appear, when his so well formed eye- lids shall be open?
5612What can the matter be that he does not make use of his right hand?
5612What can this mean?
5612What could I say when I felt myself so cruelly tortured?
5612What crime can he have committed, to deserve this rigorous treatment?
5612What crime have I committed?
5612What do you mean, Sindbad?
5612What do you mean, sir, said some who stood near him, to expose thus your life, which promises so much, to certain death?
5612What enamel of all sorts of flowers?
5612What fable do you tell me?
5612What had that vizier done, says the Grecian king, to deserve punishment?
5612What has he done to obtain from thee a lot so agreeable, and what have I done to deserve one so miserable?
5612What has he done to you?
5612What hast thou got in these trunks?
5612What have I done to be subject to the severe law of not being able to enjoy the person whom I love?
5612What have I done?
5612What have you been doing, that you came no sooner?
5612What impudence is this?
5612What is the matter?
5612What is the meaning of this?
5612What misfortune befel the ass?
5612What news is that, replied the prince, which could give my father so great uneasiness?
5612What proportion is there between the punishment and the crime?
5612What said she to you?
5612What shall I do?
5612What time do you demand then, replies the genie?
5612What water was ever lighter or more delicious?
5612What will I do?
5612What will it be when you are obliged to part?
5612What will not the world say of such a bloody rage?
5612What will they say of us if we break them?
5612What will you do with me, then?
5612What would you say, if you had seen the fine prince whom I am just come from, and whom I love with a passion equal to his desert?
5612What, said the genie, he is the cause of thy being in the condition thou art justly in; and yet darest thou say thou dost not know him?
5612What, says the caliph, are you not of the family?
5612What, son, replied Fatima; have you then more reasons than those you have already advanced?
5612Whatever misfortune befals me, I can not forbear asking, why you bedaubed your faces with black?
5612When Bahader and prince Amgrad were in the court, Bahader demanded of the prince, how the lady came into his house, and why they broke open his door?
5612When he arrived, he heard the ass say to the ox, Comrade, tell me, I pray you, what you intend to do to- morrow, when the labourer brings you meat?
5612When he had ended his story, without hiding any part of it, he asked him which was the nearest way to his father''s territories?
5612When he had got the purse in his hand, he asked the horseman if it was his, and how much money was in it?
5612When he had read what the king of Serendib wrote to him, he asked me if that prince was really so rich and potent as he had said in his letter?
5612When he saw that the slave made no haste to obey his orders, Why do not you strike?
5612When the captain heard me speak thus, O heaven, says he, whom can we ever trust now- a- days?
5612When the officers brought him before the magistrate, he asked him where he had the goods which he carried home last night?
5612When they come to fasten you to the stall, why do not you make resistance?
5612When will the time come that I shall enjoy it without fear of being ever deprived of it?
5612Where are they who enjoy quietly the happiness which they hold of her, and whose day is always clear and serene?"
5612Where does he live?
5612Where have you been?
5612Where shall I find her, and how seek for her?
5612Whilst I looked upon her, I heard the voice of a man from under ground, who immediately appeared to me, and asked who I was?
5612Whilst she was thus bewailing herself, in comes the grand vizier, and asked her if the fishes were ready?
5612Whither art thou going?
5612Whither canst thou fly for refuge against the unjust prince who persecutes thee?
5612Whither could he go?
5612Whither do you go then, sir?
5612Who are you?
5612Who can assure me that I shall be more successful than you have been?
5612Who knows but fortune waits, upon my getting off this dangerous shelve, to compensate my shipwreck with usury?
5612Whom do you seek?
5612Whom do you wait for?
5612Why are you so cast down?
5612Why art thou not gone as well as the rest?
5612Why did she come to sleep only, inflame you with her beauty, and then leave you while you was in a slumber?
5612Why did you not ask money of me, and I would have lent it you?
5612Why did you not take care to wash your hands after eating of that cursed ragoo?
5612Why do you give any body the trouble to come and open the door when they speak to you?
5612Why do you sigh and cry so bitterly?
5612Why should you require of me, said she, with a profound sigh, what will but renew my grief?
5612Why, I sent for you, said the sultan, to let you know that I design to marry you: what do you think of it?
5612Why, how did you kill this man?
5612Why, madam, said I, wherein have I deserved your displeasure?
5612Why, said my brother, can not a man carry a knife without being a highwayman?
5612Why, said the lady in a surprise, why do you offer to use me so?
5612Why, then, do not you enter?
5612Why, then, hast thou cut off but nine?
5612Will not the arrival of the caliph put me in mind of your departure?
5612Will you absolutely take away the life of a poor innocent?
5612Will you be pleased to allow me the comfort of giving her this last testimony of my friendship?
5612Will you do me the honour to come to my home?
5612Will you not tell us whether she received the chastisement she deserved?
5612Will you stain your hands and your palace with your own blood?
5612Will you still refuse me the satisfaction I desire, and let me die without seeing myself revive in your posterity?
5612Woe be to thee, replies the genius, hast thou the boldness to venture to marry my mistress?
5612Would it not have been better, think you, and much more for his honour and quiet, that he had never run such a risk?
5612Would you have me to transport all the stones of those walls, so solidly built, beyond mount Caucasus, and out of the bounds of the habitable world?
5612Yes, replied he, I am the man, and who says any thing against it?
5612You believe him then to be dead, said I?
5612You do not tell me truth, said he; he is your father, not mine; but whose son am I?
5612You have lost your thumb, said the master of the house; how came that about?
5612You have travelled, said I, and what have you gained by it?
5612You impertinent prattler, said I, will you have done, and begin to shave me?
5612You jest, sir, said he; if your friends have invited you to a feast, why should you hinder me to accompany you?
5612You know by what medicine, or rather by what miracle, he cured me of my leprosy; if he had a design upon my life, why did he save me?
5612You were about, added he, to put to death an innocent person; for how can he be guilty of the death of a man who was dead before he saw him?
5612You, who know the cause of my tears, have you no pity for my unfortunate condition?
5612Your stubbornness, replies the vizier, will make me angry; why will you run headlong to your ruin?
5612Zobeide says to the two ladies, when she came to them, Sisters, do not you see that this honest man is like to sink under his burden?
5612], to write?
5612a man or a genie?
5612after the hideous sacrifice you have just consummated, can you see me with so much satisfaction?
5612and I am no less curious to know why another of you has her bosom full of scars?
5612and do you not know that you are at one of the gates of Damascus?
5612and it is you that come down the chimney to rob me, is it?
5612and whereabouts do you live?
5612and why you are alone?
5612and, in short, why do not you frighten them by bellowing aloud?
5612are you mad?
5612brother, are you then one of those who believe me mad?
5612can not I prevail with you then?
5612cried I, embracing him, how could I know you in this condition?
5612cried I, why do you not swallow up that monster in nature, or rather why do you not swallow up the gallant and his mistress?
5612cried he, what hast thou done?
5612cried she, is it you the king my father has designed me for a husband?
5612cried the prince, how would you have me answer so kind a letter?
5612cried they, laying hold of him; and dare you say that you are not a robber?
5612cried they, redoubling their blows, would you have us to believe you are an honest man, when your back convinces us to the contrary?
5612dare you say that the vizier Schemseddin is not my father?
5612did not Crook- back lie with you last night?
5612do not you know me?
5612does not thy barbarity surpass my vengeance?
5612dost thou deserve to live after the execrable crime which thou hast committed?
5612dost thou not now see what thy contest is come to?
5612has not the genie a very faithful mistress?
5612has our master so little sense?
5612have you abated that excessive love he had for me?
5612have you the insolence to talk thus to your father and sultan?
5612how came you to know her?
5612how could he find out the untracked way of the mountains, and the untrodden paths of the vallies?
5612how would you have us go?
5612how you came to be here?
5612in attempting the life of the object whom I adore, hast thou not robbed me of mine?
5612is it certain that I hear you, and that you speak to me?
5612is it possible that I am still alive after so many torments as I have suffered?
5612is that charming prince then, dead?
5612ladies, whither do you command me to go in the condition I am in?
5612must I then die in the prime of my youth?
5612my dear friend, said she, by your being here at this time of night, you must be my husband''s comrade?
5612my good lord, of what crime can I be guilty towards you, that you should take away my life?
5612my lord, replies the young man, how is it possible but I should grieve?
5612nor can you resolve us concerning the two black bitches and the lady that fainted away, and has been so basely abused?
5612or do you come on purpose to tell me you do not love me?
5612or is it want of confidence in me?
5612or rather did she not promise to see you, and restore those bitches to their natural shape?
5612replied Maimoune, what hurt canst thou do me?
5612replied he; can you retain these thoughts so long?
5612replied the Bermecide; and are you fasting till now?
5612replied the lady; is it not your house?
5612replied the merchant, can nothing prevail with you?
5612replied the princess, how is it possible I should execute what you would force me to do?
5612replied the princess, without giving the king leave to go on; do you ask me if any one lay with me last night?
5612replied the queen: what occasion did you give my daughter for using you so ill?
5612replies he, how do you think I should obtain that favour you wish me?
5612replies he, in a passion, have you lost your senses, daughter, that you make such a dangerous request to me?
5612replies the queen, why do you reproach me thus?
5612said Amgrad, with a fierce tone and a fiery look, is there such a slave as thou in all the world?
5612said Assad, we have but a short time to live, and what need have we to quench our thirst?
5612said Bedreddin, what do you mean to do with a stake?
5612said I to myself, this affront is insufferable; how shall I dare to return to Moussol?
5612said Schemseddin roughly?
5612said he in a passion, do you appear before me thus?
5612said he to my brother; ought you not to be ashamed to abuse thus a young spouse, who gave you no cause to complain?
5612said he to the eunuch, as soon as he had read it through, is this the fidelity thou owest thy master and thy king?
5612said he, canst thou suffer me to die an ignominious and painful death?
5612said he, do not you remember it?
5612said he, do you feign yourselves blind then, and under that pretext cheat people, by begging their charity, and abusing poor women?
5612said he, is it thus that a Christian dares to assassinate a Mussulman?
5612said he, rubbing his eyes, am I asleep or awake?
5612said he, speaking to me, and are not these your cords?
5612said he, unfortunate Bedreddin, what will become of thee?
5612said he, what induced me to come down without a light?
5612said he, where hadst thou this apple?
5612said he, you pitiful wretch, have you the impudence to abuse the trust I repose in you?
5612said he; what have I done?
5612said he; who is it that holds you?
5612said he; who placed you thus?
5612said my brother, what have you to say against me?
5612said my brother, why do you beat me?
5612said she, does my child thus despise the work of my hands?
5612said she, what is the meaning of this?
5612said the Bermecide; do not you find it very good?
5612said the despairing lover, if I knew which way to return, how durst I appear before my princess without her talisman?
5612said the king, has any one lain with you last night?
5612said the lady; and why do you take the cup with your left hand instead of your right?
5612said the prince, do you not awake at these testimonies of love given you by prince Camaralzaman?
5612said the vizier, was it not you who made the cream- tart you sent me?
5612said the vizier, what favour?
5612said they, what other thing could be capable of grieving us, but the necessity of parting from you?
5612says he to himself, I am scarce out of my palace, and but just under the walls of Samarcande, and dare they put such an outrage upon me?
5612says he, is the sultaness of the Indies capable of prostituting herself in so base a manner?
5612says she, addressing herself to the sultan, while she thought she spoke to the black, my soul, my life, will you always be silent?
5612says she, what will become of me?
5612says the first, how would you have him to perceive it?
5612says the genie, if you have a mind to know it, open the vessel; do you think that I can be in a humour to tell stories in so strait a prison?
5612says the merchant, how should I kill your son?
5612says the sultan, are not these admirable characters written by the hands of a man?
5612shouldst thou not rather have staid at home, and quietly enjoyed the fruits of thy labour?
5612thinks I within myself: What will become of me?
5612thou wretch, said he, is this your inspection into the actions of my people?
5612was the care of my grandchild committed to you to carry him to eat at pastry- shops like a beggar?
5612what are you disputing about?
5612what art thou waiting for?
5612what did you hear?
5612what is that news, madam, said I?
5612what is the meaning of this miracle?
5612what news dost thou bring?
5612what obligations, said she, are the prince of Persia and I under to that honest man you speak of?
5612what this castle is?
5612which way return?
5612who can assure you of that?
5612who ever heard of such a thing?
5612why do not you ease him of it?
5612why do not you strike them with your horns, and show that you are angry by striking your foot against the ground?
