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