39463or,"Did I not bring So- and- so to see you?"
39463they say,"How do I know?"
39463think, Abib, dost thou think?
39463why do you not make better?"
22117And,he added,"can you also measure the length of cloth with them?"
22117Are the troops then only drilled in the autumn and spring?
22117Baku?--where is that?
22117But you look very young to have travelled so much?
22117But, Sadek, can you not see the white perfectly straight line stretching along, straighter than anything else around you?
22117Can this be the Swiss hotel?
22117Can you not see that the white track leads exactly in the direction where my compass says we must go?
22117Do camel men in your country, Sahib, make as good bread as this when they cross the_ lut_( desert)?
22117Do you drill in winter?
22117Do you drink spirits and wine?
22117Do you know what you are asking the guard?
22117Do you not think,said the Mullah,"that England is now an old nation, tired and worn-- too old to fight?
22117Do you smoke?
22117Have you heard the guns being fired?
22117How far are we from Nasratabad?
22117How much does it cost to build a house?
22117How much does your King give you to go about seeing foreign countries?
22117I suppose they are also only dressed and shod on the Shah''s birthday?
22117I thought you said that Englishmen were hated in Russia, and that they would confiscate all my things? 22117 In your travels do you find the people generally good or bad?"
22117Is Meftah- es- Sultaneh here?
22117Is there a town here called Nasirabad?
22117It is a fine house, is it not, Sahib?
22117Palatinski means''Do you speak Latin?'' 22117 Sahib, have you been to the country where the sun''goes to sleep''in a hole in the earth every evening?"
22117Sahib,he said,"do you know what your servant is doing?
22117Then do you think that your king will grant me a pension, so that I can live in luxury and without working to the end of my days?
22117What can all those lights be?
22117What do you think of my beloved city, Sher- i- Nasrya?
22117What for?
22117What have I done to you that you kill me?
22117What type and calibre rifle is used in the Persian army?
22117What? 22117 Who do you think is the most powerful?"
22117Who in the world is that?
22117Whose caravan is this?
22117Why did you run away?
22117Why should I settle here?
22117Why, then, did you come here?
22117Will the Chinese ever be able to fight England or Russia with success? 22117 Will you not get off your horses and have some dinner with me by the light of them?"
22117You are very late on the road, sahib?
22117You have no camels, sahib,--no_ lut_--in your country?
22117_ Combien de livres avez vous écrits?_( How many books have you written?)
22117_ Combien de livres avez vous écrits?_( How many books have you written?)
22117_ Combien livres avez vous envoyé moi?_( How many books have you sent me?)
22117_ Combien livres avez vous envoyé moi?_( How many books have you sent me?)
22117_ Vous écrivez livres?_thundered the Shah to me in lame French, as he stroked his moustache in a nervous manner.
22117---- Cichorium(?).
22117And, after all, does this protection keep out our goods from those countries?
22117Are we not as good as they are?
22117But what else could they do?
22117But, besides, have we not got soldiers to defend India?
22117Did the_ ferenghi_ know how to find gold in the earth?
22117Do you happen to know where the English Consulate is?"
22117Had they been stolen or had they run away?
22117Have you not some companions?"
22117He had understood that all Englishmen had yellow hair; why had I dark hair?
22117How can you expect a Russian railway- guard to speak Latin?
22117How could we then get as good bread as yours?"
22117How much?
22117If properly armed and drilled, what chances had the Chinese army of winning against the Allies?
22117Now, why should it not be possible-- and certainly more profitable-- to meet the wishes of natives of Eastern countries and give them what they want?
22117One point in our conversation which his Excellency seemed very anxious to clear up was, what would be the future of China?
22117One question frequently asked is:"Who owns Beluchistan?"
22117Or else how could we account for these enormous fortresses which are found all along to protect the great city?
22117Our names are Clemenson and Marsh-- but what in the world are you doing here?
22117Result?
22117The result?
22117To which one might almost answer:"Yes, who does?"
22117Was I a Russian or an Englishman?
22117Was it modesty,--was it to deceive envious eyes?
22117Were the Chinese well- armed during the war of 1900?
22117What becomes of the olives?
22117What have you done to earn such a sum?"
22117Who are you?
22117Who are you?]
22117Why on earth did the_ ferenghi_ want to know how high mountains were?
22117Why should we ever encourage the so far unconcerned Russian to come to India by showing our fear?
22117Why should we fear the Russians?
22117Why then hurry?
22117Why?
22117Will you accept him as your slave?"
22117Would China be eventually absorbed and divided into two or more shares by European powers, or would she be maintained as an Empire?"
22117Yes, certainly, but why did the Government not see?
22117_ Kesankur_ Peganum Harmala L._ Kanderi_(?)
22117exclaimed Ali, with his eyes fast expanding with surprise;"Why, then, did you come here?"
22117not Tibet Landor?
1170A peltast, then?
1170And the neighbouring country?
1170And yet, if we yield ourselves and fall into the king''s power, need we ask what our fate will be? 1170 But consider one point,"urged Xenophon;"if we are to march by night, is not the Hellenic fashion best?
1170But how,it was asked,"will they manage to wrestle on the hard scrubby ground?"
1170But let me ask you, in what condition do you turn your backs on this 31 land to- day? 1170 But what right have I to be drawing conclusions about stealing in your presence, Cheirisophus?
1170But when they have expended their ammunition,said Xenophon,"there is nothing else, is there, to hinder our passing?
1170Dost thou not mark how my son has sneezed a blessing on all my words?
1170Good,said Xenophon,"but to what use do you propose to put us, if we become your allies?
1170How then are we to get them collected?
1170Nay,retorted Xenophon,"by the same token we shall all one day be dead, but that is no reason why meantime we should all be buried alive?"
1170Some one may say, are you not ashamed to be so taken in like a fool? 1170 Then what injury have you received from me,"Cyrus asked,"that now for the third time, you have been detected in a treasonous plot against me?"
1170Then, once more having discovered the limits of your power, did you flee to the altar of Artemis, crying out that you repented? 1170 Well then,"said Xenophon,"supposing we came, what should you be able to give us?
1170Well then,said they,"he will oppose our taking away the troops, will he not?"
1170Well,said he,"was he any the less dead when I reported him to you?"
1170What was the country?
1170What, must we anticipate, will now be our fate? 1170 Why had he not invited Xenophon with the others?"
1170Why, when we had it in our power to destroy you, did we not proceed to do it? 1170 ( 1) Can this be the same man whose escape is so graphically described above? 1170 --How say you the same views?"
11705 Then at last he recognised him, and inquired:"Are you the fellow who carried home the sick man?"
1170After that they asked,"Were there any captains of light infantry willing to accompany the expedition?"
1170After that,"and at this point Cyrus turned to Orontas, and addressed him personally--"after that, did I do you any wrong?"
1170And Clearchus answered:"So, then, that is your 20 deliberate view?
1170And again,"For whom are the horses being bred?"
1170And how do you propose to stimulate their sense of awe, and keep them in good behaviour towards you?
1170And now, since we have reached Hellenic cities, how has it fared with us?
1170And what had we?
1170And what will you in turn be able to do to assist our passage?"
1170And you, who know all this, how can you say that it is mere nonsense to talk of self- defence?
1170Are not all things in all ways subject to the gods?
1170Are these things so?"
1170Are you minded to stop and keep truce, or is there to be war?
1170As soon as he was fully awake, the first clear thought which came into his head was, Why am I lying here?
1170As to the generals, their immediate concern was to try and gain some information as to Seuthes:"Was he hostile or friendly?
1170At this point he again questioned Medosades,"Whether the words attributed to him were exact?"
1170But how so?
1170But if he who partly gave you this security has failed to pay in full the wages due to you therefrom, is not that a terrible misfortune?
1170But now, what do you think of their case, these men of Cerasus?
1170But what is your behaviour?
1170But you will tell me, perhaps, that I get from Seuthes what is by right yours, and that I deal subtly by you?
1170But, granted that the rivers do bar our passage, and that guides are not forthcoming, what care we?
1170Cheirisophus answered:"But why should you go and leave your command in the rear?
1170Cheirisophus answered:"Look up there,"pointing as he spoke to the mountain,"do you see how inaccessible it all is?
1170Clearchus listened to the reasoning, and then he asked the messenger,"How large the country between the Tigris and the canal might be?"
1170Clearly, the attacking party must either conquer or be worsted: if they conquer, what need of their breaking down the bridge?
1170Consider, then; is it better to go and meet the foe with arms advanced, or with arms reversed to watch him as he assails us on our rear?
1170Could any one make you believe that the sun rises here and sets there, or that he sets here and rises there?
1170Did Cheirisophus conceivably die of fever brought on by some poisonous draught?
1170Did I ask you for something and, on your refusing it to me, did I proceed to beat you?
1170Did any one ever die in battle from the bite or kick of a horse?
1170Do I hinder any of them from speaking any word of import in his power?
1170Do not the cities which gave us birth yield them obedience also?
1170Do you not see all these great plains, which you find it hard enough to traverse even when they are friendly?
1170Does not the surgeon also cauterise and cut us for our good?
1170Eucleides congratulated Xenophon upon his safe return, and asked him how much gold he had got?
1170For if I am not much mistaken, the enemy were close at our heels?"
1170For what of the man who can not be trusted?
1170Galloping up to the front himself, he asked:"Why do you summon me?"
1170Have you not wintered here in the lap of plenty?
1170Hearing this, Xenophon dismounted, and the other asked:"Why do you dismount just when speed is the thing we want?"
1170How are we to march most safely?
1170However, why do you address yourself to me?
1170I ask then, with all these banded together against us, is there any one so insensate as to imagine that we can survive the contest?
1170I ask you, does it seem to you that we lack the means, if we had the will, to destroy you?
1170I now call upon you, and you first, Clearchus, to declare your opinion-- what think you?"
1170If as our master, why need he ask for them rather than come and take them?
1170If we can trust any guide whom Cyrus may vouchsafe to us, why not order Cyrus at once to occupy the pass on our behoof?
1170In this way he contrived to turn back and consult the victims,"Would the gods allow him to try and bring the army over to Seuthes?"
1170In your choice of leaders do I stand in the way of any one, is that it?
1170It is a little dangerous for myself, is it not?
1170Nay, if in a fit of madness we murdered you, what then?
1170Now is that a point in which a man might hope to cheat you?
1170Now, sirs, is it not clear that all these good things belong to whoever has strength to hold them?
1170Or again, which will be the greater drain on your purse?
1170Or do you impute the fault to some one not here?
1170Other people with Cyrus won great success, they were told( 1); why should it not be so with them?
1170Presently the Lacedaemonians asked:"What sort of man is Xenophon?"
1170Seuthes put the question,"Would you like to die on his behalf, Episthenes?"
1170Seuthes, turning to the boy, asked,"Shall I smite him instead of you?"
1170Should we not ourselves bestow the worst of names on the perpetrators of like deeds?"
1170The other again asked:"Peace or war, what answer shall I make?"
1170The others asked,"Were they willing to give them pledges to that effect?"
1170The soldiers held a meeting, and took counsel about the remainder of the journey: should they make their exit from the Pontus by sea or by land?
1170The soldiers, on their side, laid the blame of course on Xenophon:"Where was their pay?"
1170The two were brought up at once and questioned separately:"Did they know of any other road than the one visible?"
1170Then the Arcadians inquired of Xenophon''s officers-- why they had quenched the watch- fires?
1170There is no passing, 39 until we have dislodged these fellows; why have you not brought up the light infantry?"
1170Thereupon they consulted together, and to Xenophon''s inquiry,"What it was which hindered their simply walking in?"
1170They asked:"Does he play the popular leader?"
1170Was I not actually on my road home when I turned back?
1170Was I the worse for liquor, and behaving like a drunkard?"
1170Was he really leading them to attack the king?
1170Was it a debt, for which I demanded payment?
1170Was it not rather, that they had noticed my abundant zeal on your behalf?
1170Was it, do you suppose, because they detected some ill- will in me towards you that they made the allegation?
1170What answer shall I take from you?"
1170What follows?
1170What friendly city will receive us when they see rampant lawlessness in our midst?
1170What is it?
1170What then did common sense suggest?
1170What wrong did I commit in bringing you, whither you were eager to go?
1170When Polynicus and I asked Seuthes, what sort of a man he was?
1170When asked,"What shall you need?"
1170When the man met each of these questions with a negative, he questioned him further:"Are you a heavy infantry soldier?"
1170When, lithe of limb, she danced the Pyrrhic( 4), loud clapping followed; and the Paphlagonians asked,"If these women fought by their side in battle?"
1170Where are the men posted to intercept us?
1170Who indeed would care to carry a flag of truce, or go as a herald with 30 the blood of heralds upon his hands?
1170Who was there now to furnish them with a market?
1170Who will have the courage to afford us a market, when we prove our worthlessness in these weightiest concerns?
1170Why should it be guarded since it was friendly?
1170Why?
1170Will you take us for your allies?
1170Will you then please inform us as to that point also?
1170Would you, Xenophon, repeat what you said to us?"
1170Xenophon inquired:"And how far from the sea shall you expect the army to follow you?"
1170Xenophon laughed and said:"But supposing these all together do not amount to the pay; for whom is the talent, shall I say?
1170You ask what it is I would have you to do?
1170You heard the threats?"
1170a general to undertake the work?
1170also, would they have to march through the Sacred mountain( 1), or round about through the middle of Thrace?"
1170am I waiting till I am older mysef and of riper age?
1170and all yonder great mountain chains left for you to cross, which we can at any time occupy in advance and render impassable?
1170and did you thus work upon my feelings, that we a second time shook hands and made interchange of solemn pledges?
1170and from what city?
1170and what becomes of the praise we expect to win from the mouths of men?
1170have we not horsemen enough, or infantry, or whatever other arm you like, whereby we may be able to injure you, without risk of suffering in return?
1170how can you bid us go again and try the arts of persuasion?
1170in slaying our benefactor should we not have challenged to enter the lists against us a more formidable antagonist in the king himself?
1170is not their lordship over all alike outspread?
1170of striking a blow in your behalf and his own, if that is his choice?
1170or a quarrel about some boy or other?
1170or did he die under treatment?
1170or did he take poison whilst suffering from fever?
1170or how shall we, who lay the knife to each other''s throats, give battle to our enemies?
1170or where blows are needed, how are we to fight to the best advantage?
1170or, finally, of keeping his eyes and ears open to secure your safety?
1170or, possibly, do we seem to you 17 to lack the physical surroundings suitable for attacking you?
1170the question arises, Was he equally good as a commander?
1170the soldiers, the officers, and the generals?
1170to pay off your present debt, or, with that still owing, to bid for more troops, and of a better quality?
1170what am I waiting for?
1170what did I say,"he asked,"at your next visit, when 28 you came to me in Selybria?"
1170what is happening at this instant?
1170while others hearing from us a hundred stories in your praise, hasten to present themselves at your desire?
1170who will vouchsafe it to us, if this is our behaviour?
1170why have I managed my affairs no better?
52189''And what is your opinion?'' 52189 ''And you give the thieves a full and free pardon?''
52189''Does your majesty require the thieves or the treasure? 52189 ''How?
52189''Very well,''said the king:''but who were they? 52189 ''What are you doing?''
52189''What can you have to confess to me?'' 52189 ''What proof of love,''exclaimed poor Ahmed,''can you desire, which I will not give?''
52189''Who,''said the irritated lady,''do you take me for? 52189 A friend asked him how it happened that the two most celebrated Persian Soofee poets should differ so much in their description of love?
52189And do you think,said he,"I will do what I have told them?"
52189And what did the foolish writer of that book know about Solomon?
52189And what did you do?
52189Are the French,he asked,"a powerful people?"
52189But how do they see or hear,said I,"sufficient to direct them in their choice?"
52189But what is the use of those peeps and chance meetings to your young ladies, if they have not the liberty of choice with regard to their husbands?
52189But why,said I,"if they have this power, and such rights of property, are they cooped up, and never allowed to stir abroad without veils?
52189But you suffer from oppression like others?
52189Can not you go without cheese one day, you luxurious little rascal? 52189 Can you see land to starboard?"
52189Four?
52189Hajee,said Aga Mahomed Khan, half angry,"have I been mistaken?
52189Have you no laws,said I one day to Aga Meer,"but the Koran, and the traditions upon that volume?"
52189Have you studied our law,said Meerzâ Aga Meer to me,"particularly that part of it which relates to property and inheritance?"
52189How answerest thou?
52189How many fersekhs long do you wish it?
52189Is it not as likely they have been stolen from us?
52189Is that oppression?
52189Is the blood of the first race on the plains of Kipchâk contaminated? 52189 It depends upon his age; I suppose he is past five?"
52189It is taking the animal,said Rahmân Beg to me,"off his natural position; and for what?
52189Now what is our situation in Persia? 52189 Pray, do you expect,"said a pert courtier, who heard this declaration,"that the caliph is to pay your ignorance?"
52189The Greeks talk of the club of Hercules, but what was his club to the bull- headed mace with which Roostem destroyed whole armies? 52189 The old dame''s cat requested to know what rich meat was, and what taste wheat- cakes had?
52189Then,I observed,"when you made Soonees captives, you did not make them slaves?"
52189They delight in nothing,said he,"but strong liquor and hogs''flesh; and, would you believe it?"
52189Well,said the minister, addressing the Elchee''s relation,"how did you find Sûlimân Khan?"
52189What are you about, you fool?
52189What becomes of your illegitimate children in England?
52189What conduct is this, you scoundrel?
52189What does it look like?
52189What is the use of his lenity, if he neither gives his soldiers money himself, nor allows them to take it from others? 52189 What is the use of your quarter less three,"said an impatient landsman,"when the ship is aground?"
52189What think you of Persia?
52189Where can I go?
52189Where is the darling boy?
52189Where is the old villain,said the chief,"that dares to claim any one whom I protect?"
52189Who are these peasants?
52189Who has done it?
52189Why, then,said I,"did your Prophet permit polygamy, and set so bad an example?
52189You have heard of Zohâk, prince of Arabia?
52189You seem to have some distress of mind?
52189You were never married, then?
52189''And my Indian handkerchief and golden slippers?''
52189''And my silk vest?''
52189''Are you sure?''
52189''Are you tired of looking down at your last,''cried another,''that you are now looking up at the planets?''
52189''But how has this miraculous change been wrought?''
52189''Certainly,''said the jeweller, for such he was;''have you one to sell?''
52189''Common pebbles, I suppose; can you show me any?''
52189''Do n''t you know Ahmed the cobbler?''
52189''Do you really mean to say you are happy?''
52189''Do you think it possible I can suffer such gross wrong and injustice without complaining, and making it known to all the world?''
52189''Hadst thou been slain,''asked he of the intelligent brute,''how should I have accomplished my enterprise?''
52189''I will take this,''he said, wrapping it up, and putting it under his arm;''What is the price?''
52189''Nonsense,''said his friend;''do we not all know to what a termagant you are united?
52189''Poor who?''
52189''Tell me, Ahmed,''said the king,''who has stolen my treasure?''
52189''Well, Ahmed,''said his wife, as he entered,''what news at court?''
52189''What are you-- a common sailor?''
52189''What are you?''
52189''What did you find there?
52189''What have I to do with your wife?''
52189''What have you got?''
52189''What is that you say?''
52189''What is that?''
52189''What, friend Ahmed,''said one,''have you worked till your head is turned?''
52189''Why did you dare,''said the enraged monarch,''to write me fermâns?
52189''Why?''
52189Addressing those around him, he said,''Do not you now see the extent of the knowledge of Noosheerwân?
52189Admitting that the inhabitants of Europe received these tales and apologues from the Saracens, the next question is, where did they get them?
52189After complimenting him on his courage, I asked where he was born?
52189Am I to experience such prosperity after such adversity?''
52189Am not I the cherished wife of your bosom?''
52189But for me you must either have given up your journey, or have been drowned in that stream, and what is my reward?
52189But what can this be?
52189But why did you send a Persian to my court?
52189But, what is that?"
52189Can not you fill the bag and bring it away?''
52189Can there be a doubt, at the present moment, how they ought to act between you and the French?
52189Did you ever see or hear such a set of swaggerers and story- tellers?
52189Did you not recover my treasure?
52189Do they not hear of other countries?
52189From whence have you arrived with so lovely an appearance?
52189Has he married the daughter of a citizen of Nishâpoor?"
52189Have I given him sweetmeats so often, to be stared at as a stranger?
52189Have you not brought me this emerald?''
52189He asked the man, pointing to those in the shop, if he would buy any such articles?
52189He desired particularly to know how the Elchee had been treated in his dominions, and whether he liked what he had seen of Persia?
52189He exclaimed aloud to the heroes of Iran,''Where is Roostem?
52189He prophesied that there should be one unworthy man with me; it is this fellow: what have you taken?''
52189How could he ascertain their exact number?
52189I asked Rahmân Beg, how he, as a Mahomedan, could reconcile himself to make slaves of persons of the same religion?
52189I asked a person sitting near me, if this familiarity did not now and then interfere with discipline?
52189I have made up my mind to leave Nishâpoor; why should I remain?
52189I looked round; and observing my surprise, he instantly exclaimed,"What do I care who knows my sentiments?
52189I took it, and said to it,''Art thou musk or ambergris, for I am charmed with thy perfume?''
52189I understand the rights of your legitimate wives and daughters; but what becomes of the numerous progeny of slaves and others of the Harem?"
52189I went on well,"he adds,"till I came near to Hamadân, when our kâfillah was plundered by sixty horsemen: one fellow asked me,''what I had got?''
52189In a conversation I had with him, as we were walking the deck, the day we arrived at Muscat, I asked him if he had a wife?
52189In came an English waiter, with his head all powdered, shuffling and mincing, saying, as he entered the room,''Do you want me, Sir?''
52189Is this your boasted freedom?"
52189On being asked if he would sell him--"What will you give me?"
52189Seeing him look very miserable, I asked him what was the matter?
52189Seeing my friend quite delighted with the contemplation of this rich scene, I asked him, with some exultation, what he thought of it?
52189The breathless Yûsuph was the first who reached his father:''Where is my horse and my sword?''
52189The enraged squire sent for Abdûlla:''You blockhead,''said he,''what have you been about?
52189The mehmandar immediately called to a young woman of handsome appearance, and asked her in Turkish if she was a soldier''s daughter?
52189The princess rose, went to her husband, and said,''There, Ahmed, what do you think of the success of my calculations?''
52189The very thought alarmed him; and he turned to his kind friend, and asked if he could not recommend a suitable animal?
52189There you see Sûlimân Khan Kajir, and several other of the first chiefs of the kingdom-- I can cut all their heads off: can I not?"
52189They appear a lively, intelligent race-- can they be insensible to their comparatively wretched condition?
52189Was ever man more cruel than Aga Mahomed Khan?
52189What could poor Ahmed do?
52189What could you expect?"
52189What protection can be more effectual than this?
52189What, my dear father, are high rank or brilliant talents without religion and virtue?
52189When he had placed him safe on the opposite shore, he turned to him and said,''Are not you the most wicked and ungrateful of reptiles?
52189When the Turk approached the throne, Nadir, assuming his fiercest look, and exerting his voice to the utmost, said,"What do you desire of me?"
52189When they were dividing the spoil, I was called to an eminence where the chief stood:''What property have you got my little fellow?''
52189Where have you acquired such a comeliness?
52189Who can afford it?
52189Why( said he, with animation), what can you expect from men who are ignorant of the surface of the globe?
52189[ 94] Een kârkhâneh cheh fâideh; berâe sipâhee cheh zeroor sewâe neezeh wa dil?
52189and how came you by that glorious strength?''
52189and night after night, without ever once being mistaken?
52189and what have they done with my gold and jewels?''
52189are the people rich?
52189are they happy?''
52189are you also a fool?
52189by what means am I to find them?''
52189did not his wanton atrocities exceed all belief?
52189ever enable me to go to the Hemmân like the wife of the chief astrologer?
52189have they no envy, no desire for improvement?"
52189is it a fine country?
52189said I,"could he venture to take him from you?"
52189said I;"did you inquire after her?"
52189says he, quite pitiful,''are you the poor fellow who has suffered so much?
52189she exclaimed,''have I not the sacred claims of a neighbour upon you; are we not linked in the ties of kindred?
52189what can a soldier want beyond a spear and a heart?
52189what prevents your giving a proof of friendship, by taking me with you when next you visit the palace?
52189what success?''
52189when I contemplate this, in a dream or awake?
52189with such usages how can they attain that knowledge of the world which is necessary to enable them to perform their duties?"
52189you must be mistaken; do you mean such piastres as these?''
8699And was it more noisy than at Marbeeshoo?
8699And what do you, want of Joshua?
8699Are you allowed to use your own books?
8699Are you willing?
8699But have you not forsaken some of your church fasts?
8699But have you not left the books of your fathers?
8699But may it not be in that Bethel?
8699But where is that other dear friend of our school[ Dr. Grant], who was the beautiful staff of her support? 8699 But why do you want to die?"
8699Can you work, or have you become Ingleez?
8699Could ye not watch with me one hour?
8699Did it make much noise?
8699Do these ladies let you see your friends?
8699Do you fast?
8699Do you not think that I too can pray?
8699Do you pray, Heleneh?
8699Has Miss Fiske taught you this?
8699Have you finished?
8699Have you had bad news?
8699I have dreamed a dream, dear friends-- may I relate it? 8699 May I tell God just what is in my heart?"
8699No, not very; why do you ask?
8699Shall I remember you by this?
8699Then I saw those whom I had led into sin and encouraged in unbelief, and said to them,''Can you forgive me?'' 8699 Was it deep and wide?"
8699Was there much water in it?
8699Were you at prayers?
8699Were you late?
8699What are we, that the Lord should choose us from the midst of such darkness, and send you to us with the message of life? 8699 What are your prayers?"
8699What do we know? 8699 What do you do here?"
8699What do you do when at home?
8699What is it?
8699What word of fitting love can I write, and how tell you what God has done? 8699 Why do you ask?"
8699Why not go, then?
8699Why, did you not enjoy it?
8699Why? 8699 Will Christ sustain us to the last?
8699Would your teachers allow you to fast?
8699Yes,said Mr. Stocking,"but if the fires of hell could be out, you would not be troubled-- would you?"
8699or that one?
8699or that other?
8699''Are you sure that you have not forsaken him in all these years?''
8699''Can no one help me?
8699''Can you not cry,"Lord, remember me,"like the dying malefactor?''
8699''Can you not pray?''
8699''Have you kept up secret prayer during all these years?''
8699''How is it that I have not known it?''
8699''How long have you thought so?''
8699''Is it God''s fault, or yours?''
8699''O Eli, Eli, why speak to her thus?
8699''O Lord, how long?''
8699''Then you know some as Christians?''
8699''What can I do in such distress?''
8699''Why fear or sorrow, when Christ has overcome both death and sin?''
8699Am I not better to thee than ten sons?''
8699Among other things, she asked,"Is it true, that for one sin Adam and Eve were cast out of Eden?"
8699And can we live?"
8699And now, to whom shall I look to help me in this matter?
8699And what shall we tell you of the wonders God showed us among those poor women?
8699Are there other sisters of like faith, who believe in the only Mediator?''
8699As I listened in anguish, I cried aloud,''Is there no hope for me?''
8699As my weeping mother wiped the cold sweat from my brow, she gently whispered,''Where is my child going?''
8699As the blows fell thick and fast, he cried,"Must this come from my own father?"
8699As they spoke of old friends, Yonan asked,"Heleneh, do you remember where our Lord was crucified?"
8699At once his eyes filled, and he said,"You once helped me in a worse road; may I not now help you?"
8699At one meeting in the Male Seminary, the young men burst into tears while singing the hymn,"Alas, and did my Saviour bleed?"
8699At times, the anguish of some for sin was so overpowering, that the question,"Can a woman forget her sucking child?"
8699Both were bright stars, but where is the people on whom they shone?
8699But another said,"May I tell you alone?"
8699But how?
8699But if such houses were comfortless abodes for those in health, what were they for the sick?
8699But we hear the voice of Eli:''How long wilt thou be drunken?''
8699But what shall I say of our poor people?
8699But where shall we find them?
8699But why?
8699But would they be allowed to spend the night on the mission premises?
8699Can I ever forget the fervent supplications and preaching of blessed Mr. Stocking, and how he begged us to flee from the wrath to come?
8699Can I forget_ Calvary?_"as though grieved that he should think she could forget.
8699Can I go and confess it to- night, and pray with her, and then may I go and work for money to replace them?"
8699Can I see her?"
8699Can we bear, dear sisters, to see the deadly wings of Satan''s kingdom spread out and destroy those bought by the precious blood of Christ?
8699Can we forget her prayers with some of us the week she left us?
8699Can we never again point her to Jesus?''
8699Can we not do something for souls?
8699Can you do nothing for me?''
8699Could she open it?
8699Did you ever see one that had wealth?
8699Did you think that we would not love her?
8699Do Christians in this country realize as they ought the connection between their prayers and the blessings bestowed on the opposite side of the globe?
8699Do you inquire for the source of all this loveliness?
8699Do you not wish to see me?''
8699Father, father, I am going; can you do nothing?''
8699For example: after reading the history of the creation( for she began at the beginning), she asked,"Who was the first man?"
8699Grant?"
8699Guwergis now cried out,''Women, where are you?
8699Guwergis spoke up,''We have butter: what shall we cook in it for the bride?''
8699Has he left the least thing undone for you?''
8699Have you repented?
8699He asks Hannah to go with him: not in a voice of harsh command, but in love he said,''Will you go?''
8699He said,''Why weep?
8699He talks with my father, saying,"How can you give your daughter to the Papists?
8699He was asked,"Have you and your wife chosen the good part?"
8699His stripes, his anguish, his crucifixion,--were they not for you?
8699How can I ever forget the first night that you met me, after the Lord had touched my heart, in that blessed room?
8699How can I forget you?
8699How can we sleep until forgiven?"
8699How could they leave their Christian home, and the means of grace they had enjoyed so much?
8699How do the daughters of the Oroomiah schools mourn, and their eyes run down with water, because Miss Fiske is far from them?''
8699How, then, could the Nestorians be induced to send their daughters to schools?
8699I am a Demas; and with such agony now, what will be the wrath to come?''
8699I asked her,''Did you ever do any thing for your little girl that you remember now with gratitude?''
8699I asked her,''Do you pray with your children?
8699I asked one,''What is the distance between you and God?''
8699I commenced:''Do you think yourself a Christian?''
8699I did not want to leave them, but I did ask, Can the image of Christ ever be reflected from such hearts?
8699I earnestly pressed these questions: What do you think of yourself?
8699I heard him ask,''How long shall those precious souls, redeemed by thy blood, be led astray?
8699I said,''Are there any Christians in our village?''
8699I said,''Do you think you love the Saviour?''
8699I said,''Is this death-- that which we poor mortals fear?''
8699I said,''You have ever shown great love; can you not help me now?''
8699I then looked on another, noted for his wickedness, and said,''Beloved, did not Christ come for you?
8699I turned to my mother:''There is no love like a mother''s; can that do nothing for me now?''
8699If Jonah mourned over the gourd for which he had not labored, how shall not you mourn after those for whom you have labored?
8699If all were Christians, what might we not see?
8699If but one of us reach that place, will you deem your labor in vain?
8699If he is so bold here, what will he be in the mountains?"
8699In a voice unlike all I ever heard before, he said,''Slayer of my Son, despiser of my grace, what hast thou done?
8699In answer to the usual inquiry,"From whence do you come?"
8699In short, on which side are you?
8699Instantly a woman called out,"And have you heard those deceivers preach?"
8699Is it strange that, as the slips of paper fell at her feet, her heart was moved?
8699Is there another Miss Fiske in your country?
8699Is there no ray of light for her in the darkness?
8699It was a frequent remark,"We all lie here; do you think we could succeed in business without it?"
8699May I give you one of the Master''s sermons?
8699May I not fly on the wings of love, and destroy that city of blasphemy on the seven hills, that the glory may be thine?''
8699Miss Fiske would begin by saying,"Is not that a pretty name?
8699Must I leave you all, forever?
8699Must she see another face that night?
8699My father then asked,''Do you suffer much''?''
8699My friends asked,''Has he no terrors for you?''
8699My poor mother interposed,''But are you willing to leave us?''
8699My teacher now cried,''We had hoped to see our dear pupil passing over to the new Jerusalem; but, instead of that, must she dwell among the lost?''
8699No one asked,"What shall I do to be saved?"
8699No wonder she now inwardly exclaimed,"What hath God wrought?
8699One came to Miss Fiske in great distress, saying,"Do you remember the day, two years ago, when Sawdee''s new shoes were taken from the door?"
8699One day he came to the teachers, saying,"I have a petition to make; will you receive it?"
8699One little girl said,"Did you ever see a new- born lamb cast into the snow and live?
8699One of them wept bitterly when asked if she was willing to forsake every sin, saying,"What shall I do?
8699Perhaps you will reply, in your cheerful way,''Do you feel so?
8699Sanum and Sarah lingered behind the rest; and as they drew near, she asked,"Did you not understand me?"
8699Shall I ever forget the Lord''s coming among us by the still rain of the Holy Spirit?
8699Shall I never see your face again-- that face, which bore to us more than a mother''s love?
8699Shall not such a woman be praised?
8699Shall we come in and bathe your feet?
8699Shall we ever find a better time than when so many are praying for us?"
8699Shall we not also prepare the way of the Lord?
8699Shall we not believe that the fruits of his labors have sprung up among us?
8699She placed her hand in his, looked up in his face, and answered his''Is Christ become beautiful?''
8699She staid till a voice seemed to say, What doest thou here, Elijah?
8699She took me from my horse, exclaiming,''Is it true that you have come?
8699Should a voice come from the mountains to- day, calling for preachers, would they give their sons to go and save the lost?
8699So, as many of them were strangers to the cleansing properties of water, they would ask again and again,"How do you make them so white?"
8699Some might have cried out, when her fine intellect and rare acquirements were devoted to the missionary work,"Why is this waste of the ointment made?"
8699Still no reply; but when they got near enough, they whispered,"May we have to- day to care for our souls?"
8699Struck by the languor of her teacher''s looks, she inquired tenderly,"Are you very tired?"
8699The catechist went on:"Have you seen the same river on the plain?"
8699The disease made rapid progress, and again she said,"I am very sick; I shall die soon: shall we not pray together?"
8699The leader could only ask,"Who will pray?"
8699The next question was,"What does it mean?"
8699The will of the Lord was her will, and what evil could befall her?
8699Then did she not seek a corner of the court where she might pray?
8699Then ought we not to mourn over this people, lost and fallen under the yoke of Satan?
8699Then to whom shall I look, as the instrument to do this work?
8699Then, shall we think no more of it?
8699Then, where are they?
8699Then, where is he?
8699There was no time in which they did not cry, with tears,''What shall we do?''
8699They said,"Can we not have one more prayer meeting before you leave?"
8699They would say,''What shall we do?
8699Was it not like an angel''s?
8699We find Yonan putting this question to a communicant:"Do you and M. live pleasantly together?"
8699We have certainly received freely: have we given any thing?
8699We have grown fat; and how long shall we lie under the quilts?''
8699What can we say to you, dear Mrs. Stoddard, who are shrouded in a cloud that is very dark?
8699What could she do?
8699What is your dependence for salvation?
8699What meant this simultaneous movement to the mercy seat?
8699What overcame this strong national prejudice?
8699What shall I do?
8699What shall I do?
8699What shall we do?
8699What was the matter?
8699What were her feelings when she looked round on twenty- three, sitting with their heads bowed down in silence?
8699What will become of you and me, who have sinned so often?"
8699When shall I see him as he is, and be filled with his love?''
8699When she first came to Christ, her teacher was awakened one morning by her asking at the bedside,"Is it wrong to wish to die?"
8699Who am I, that I should be raised from companionship with sin to the society of heaven?
8699Who does not admire that grace which, in this missionary age, raised up such a type of piety to be diffused over the globe?
8699Who will rise among us to carry forward the kingdom of our Christ?
8699Why was she thus loved?
8699Why were my associates, once, like me, children of wrath, now in heaven, while I was shut out?
8699Why, then, treat him so ill?
8699Will he be with us through the dark valley?
8699Will he come for us and receive us to himself, as he promised?"
8699Will our mothers follow the example of Hannah?
8699Yet what shall this people do?
8699and if separations are so trying here, what must be those of the last day?
8699and on being told that it was so,"There,"said she, turning to the unconcerned neighbor, who had come with her,"do you hear that?
8699and when shall I see my blessed Saviour?"
8699and why eatest thou not?
8699and why is thy heart grieved?
8699and will you not send them to our little school?"
8699are you sick?"
8699from one who never remembered to have seen the light?
8699or how many times you took me by the hand, and led me to the throne of grace?
8699or how, when she took our hand for the last time, she said,''The blessing of the Lord rest upon you''?
8699or those meetings of the sisters for prayer?
8699or those tearful pleadings in the closets?
8699or,"Who could endure a dish like that?''"
8699saying,''Hannah, why weepest thou?
8699twice in the week?"
8699when shall I see him?
36301''But pray inform me, my lord and master, when and how I have given you any cause of complaint? 36301 ''But, my child,''said the king,''if by chance some one should present himself, and reply to your questions?''
36301''What has happened?'' 36301 ''What is the matter, my dear husband?
36301''What is the matter? 36301 ''_ Do_ I love him?''
36301Ah, my lord,said he,"where are we, and to what state am I reduced?"
36301Ah,cried he,"weak worms, what have you presumed to do?
36301And pray,I asked in reply,"what are you doing at Candahar, and why have you left the court of Persia?
36301And the others,replied Hadgi- Achmet;"couldst not thou, if necessary, dispose of them, and buy others with the price?"
36301And thou, woman,said the dey,"dost thou still maintain that thy husband leaves thee in want of nourishment?"
36301And who lives,I asked,"in the palace at the end of the plain?"
36301Are there not, then, many honest men who are no richer than myself?
36301Art thou poor?
36301But tell me,returned Lin- pao,"why do n''t you still wear a white head- dress?
36301But thou,rejoined Selim,"if thou hadst aught to give away, what wouldst thou do?"
36301But, madam,I replied,"why give way to such gloomy presentiments at the very time when your presence brings me such delight?"
36301But,resumed king Bahaman,"night is coming on, and still the king of the genii does not appear; can he have forsaken us?"
36301By what means,he said,"can any person, however ingenious and daring, enter this fortress?
36301Can any man on earth do this?
36301Can she wish to be an eye- witness of my death, and does she desire to have me assassinated before the eyes of her father? 36301 Can these things be removed?"
36301Can you propose to us that we should live at the expense of your liberty? 36301 Do they not already kill each other by sea and by land?"
36301Do what you like,replied the king;"but what answer shall we send the caliph?"
36301Do you know,he said,"that a subject who has the audacity to lie to his master merits death?"
36301Do you mean to say that all men have some secret anxiety preying on their minds, because you appear in that state? 36301 Do you see all these bones?"
36301Does that prove that it would be wrong to do so?
36301Dost thou require much?
36301Father,said Haroun,"is it true that there is in this city a young man called Aboulcassem, who surpasses even kings in magnificence and generosity?"
36301From what country do you come?
36301Has any misfortune happened to you?
36301Has your life returned to you?
36301Have you also a place where I can put my horse?
36301Have you ever heard of this unfortunate El Kattab before?
36301How is it,replied Khalaf,"that she is such a source of grief to him?"
36301How is it,said the prince, raising him, and placing him on a sofa,"that you are still alive?
36301How much do you ask?
36301I asked you,said Tourandocte,"what tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?"
36301I thought that no plant was ever to be found on those mountain tops covered with perpetual snow and frost?
36301I will suppose that I may enjoy the longest of lives, a hundred years for example, thinkest thou I shall live yet longer?
36301I? 36301 If I am not more successful than this,"thought he,"how am I to support my father and mother?"
36301If I made the fortune of my son, instead of that of my friend,said he at length to himself,"should I be guilty?
36301In this wall?
36301Is it then true,exclaimed the caliph,"that the happiness of all is a dream?
36301Is not your name Aswad?
36301Is this young prince mad,they whispered one to another,"to risk the loss of that for which he perilled his life?
36301It is something, nevertheless,replied Selim,"and wilt thou tell me what is necessary to be done, in order to add fifty years to one''s existence?"
36301It may be; but will it be good in practice? 36301 Merciful Heaven,"cried Khalaf, when he recovered from his stupefaction,"did I hear aright?
36301Must I believe,said he,"what I have just heard?
36301My dear friend,said he,"how old is your son?"
36301My father,cried he,"is it so indeed?
36301My lord,replied Tourandocte,"why do you think that I shall not be able to reply to the question of this prince?
36301My lord,said she,"what is it you propose to your daughter?
36301My lord,said she,"whence this violent transport which agitates you, and what do those words mean which you have just spoken?"
36301My thought is a good one then?
36301Of what use is our flight?
36301Of what use will thy doubloons be to thee when thou art dead? 36301 On what dost thou muse?"
36301Poor creature,said Medjeddin,"what is the matter?
36301Prince,I said to him,"could you possibly think that I would refuse to help you in the embarrassing situation in which you were placed on my account?
36301Prince,said he,"have you reflected upon the words which have just escaped your lips?"
36301Prince,said he,"why did you not come at once to me?
36301The prince Mesoud?
36301Then thou desirest not to prolong thy days upon the earth? 36301 Then thou wilt not consent to give me the third of what I know to be here, hidden though it may be?"
36301Then why not diminish thy transactions, and live in peace?
36301Thou wouldst change the order of things, the whole course of nature?
36301Well then,said Tourandocte,"tell me what creature is that which belongs to every land, is a friend to the whole world, and will not brook an equal?"
36301Well, and the result?
36301Well, my daughter,he said,"have you seen the treasure?"
36301Well, my lord,said Zemroude,"do you think the cadi has much reason to be satisfied with his work?
36301Well, prince,began Altoun- Khan,"am I to rejoice or grieve at your presence here to- day?
36301Well,he continued,"since you knew that, why have you committed the greatest of all crimes?"
36301Well,said Selim,"what has befallen thee?
36301Well,said the Jew,"what sayest thou?
36301Well,said the monarch,"have you done what I commanded you?"
36301What ails you, madam?
36301What am I about to do?
36301What can be the design of the princess?
36301What can be the reason, my angel,said he,"that your father prevents your marrying?
36301What crime have I committed?
36301What do you say, my son?
36301What do you say, my son?
36301What have you done, my lord?
36301What is it, madam?
36301What is it? 36301 What is that mother,"resumed the princess,"who, after having brought her children into the world, devours them when they are grown up?"
36301What is the matter, my lord?
36301What man,said he,"is entirely master over his own thoughts?
36301What matters it,I said,"whether I die of thirst or of poison?"
36301What obligations am I not under to you?
36301What on earth is all this to end in?
36301What profits it to meditate so deeply upon a thing which all the reflections of man can not change?
36301What sayest thou?
36301What sayst thou?
36301What was his name?
36301What wilt thou do to effect my cure?
36301What, now, fakir,asked I,"do you view my happy condition with chagrin?
36301What,exclaimed Medjeddin in astonishment,"in his pocket!--how can that be?"
36301What,he asked,"was the colour of the girdle which contained your money, and of what material was it made?"
36301Who is the man of whom you make this complaint?
36301Why am I still in the world?
36301Why have you treated my nightingale thus? 36301 Why should you be afraid to tell them?
36301Why then,said the vizir,"did you pretend not to know him at Ormus?"
36301Why,asked Bahaman, when his enemy was brought before him,"why have you advanced into my dominions against all right and reason?
36301Will I tell thee?
36301With whom dost thou decree that Ormed shall remain? 36301 Wretch,"said the cadi,"what dost thou take me for?
36301You are in a great hurry,she remarked;"what can it be that obliges you to walk so fast?"
36301''Am I just made a bridegroom, clothed in silk, wearing a shawl and a dagger set with diamonds, and am I to go and shut the door?
36301''Do you ask whether the ant beneath your feet has a right to complain?
36301''What signifies it, whether we die in a stable or on a throne?
36301A neighbour, who heard me calling out in an agony of despair, opened her door, and said to me,"Hassan Abdallah, is that you?
36301And do you seriously think of carrying it into effect?"
36301And what does he give me in return?
36301And why?
36301Are they not creditable to you?"
36301Are we the first princes whom the rod of justice has struck?
36301Are we to become the object of the inquiries and suspicions of the police?"
36301Are you a beggar, and do you need any gift?
36301Are you now in a fit state to resist all attempts to make you disclose your secret?
36301Are you strong enough to support the highest joy that your heart can feel or conceive?"
36301Art thou content?"
36301As I concealed the clothes, he said to me,"My brother, what have you got there hid under your cloak?"
36301Aswad, where was your discretion?
36301At length the lady Wang went to the door, and standing behind it without opening it, asked,"Who is knocking there, and making such a disturbance?"
36301At these words Firouzshah appeared thunderstruck, and then addressing Zelica, he inquired,"Who then is the prince who is your father?"
36301At these words Yang at first appeared confused, and changed colour; then, assuming a more confident expression,"What are you thinking of?"
36301Besides, how do you know that I shall not be able to reply to her questions?
36301But I ask you, princess, ought I thus to steal away from Altoun- Khan?
36301But come, hast thou decided?
36301But dost thou not see that it is wise to be at peace with thy brother, and that to obtain this peace there is no sacrifice too great?
36301But has he got a son?
36301But how is a private individual able to make such presents?
36301But in what did his riches consist?
36301But speak, what is the cause of your affliction?"
36301But tell me how is it?
36301But what could I do in my cage?
36301But what do I say?
36301But what had become of the inhabitants?
36301But what profit would this be to me?"
36301But who can say or know what is really a good or an evil?
36301But who shall describe her ecstasies of joy when her son was presented to her?
36301But why wish to purchase me?
36301By what good luck do I find you here?"
36301By what scourge had they been cut off, or what reason had induced them to quit so beautiful a city?
36301Can I refuse to obey it?"
36301Can he have changed his mind, and issued the order for my death?"
36301Can she carry her cruelty thus far?
36301Can the death of the princess Zelica have driven you away as it did me?"
36301Can the king be an accomplice in the deed?
36301Can you be sure that I shall not be able to answer the questions that may be put to me?
36301Can you tell me where the sheik Hassan Abdallah, the son of El- Achaar, resides in the city?"
36301Can you tell me why this street is so quiet, as though every inhabitant were dead?"
36301Conducting me into a very elegant apartment, he asked me,"What is your name?"
36301Do you call it_ possessing_ a treasure if it must not be touched?
36301Do you know the peril to which you may expose her?
36301Do you love Aswad sufficiently to make so great a sacrifice?''
36301Do you really believe this to be the truth?"
36301Do you take me for a dishonest man, or imagine that my purse is empty?"
36301Do you think I shall soon spend all this?"
36301Do you think me so unjust, that I shall take it from you?"
36301Do you think to impose upon me?
36301Do you wish to see us die with hunger?"
36301Does he imagine he can propose a question that will be too difficult for Tourandocte to solve?
36301Does it depend upon men themselves to be happy or unhappy?
36301Dost thou dare thus to treat me who have it in my power to revenge myself on my enemies; me who, when I please, can put the like of thee in fetters?
36301Exerting all her ingenuity, she next asked,"What tree is that whose leaves are white on one side and black on the other?"
36301Hadgi- Achmet turned to the other brother:"Farzan, canst thou not yield to thy brother the amulet he wishes to possess?"
36301Hadgi- Achmet, addressing himself to Chamyl, said,"In what does thy fortune consist?"
36301Haroun was offended at this, and said to himself,"What does all this mean?
36301Hast thou not children, and are not children much dearer than a friend?"
36301Have I said or done any thing to cause your tears to flow?
36301He asked her a thousand questions; what were the customs of the inhabitants of the city?
36301He is now at hand: does your majesty wish him to be introduced to your presence?"
36301He then proceeded to relate to him the events of his journey, and ended by asking,"Giafar, what shall I do?
36301Here are the twenty täels that my friend Tchin has given me; can I do better than employ them towards the maintenance of some virtuous bonzes?
36301How can I be sufficiently grateful for so many favours?
36301How could she conceive so base a project?"
36301How long ago was it inhabited?
36301How much dost thou demand for thy reward?"
36301How ought I to distribute the half of my large fortune?"
36301How then can I surpass him in generosity?"
36301I am also informed that you keep concealed at home a daughter of an age to marry; is that true?"
36301I am suddenly become very rich, as thou knowest, and I have no son to inherit my wealth; is it not too great for a single solitary man?
36301I could explain to you all these mysteries; but to what purpose?
36301I have not wherewith to continue my journey to that town, will you be so charitable as to lend me three täels?
36301I said, weeping,"is this indeed a thing so easy for me?
36301I thought; can this be some new misfortune that has befallen me?
36301I told you a thousand times that she would not suit you; you would not believe-- whose fault is it?"
36301If God has the power to pluck off crowns, has He not also the power to restore them?
36301If I cure thee what will be my profit?
36301If there were any intention of making you marry again, do you think there would be any difficulty?
36301If this business is hurried on, how shall I be able to inform them of it?
36301If thou discoverest another still more marvellous, thou wilt give it me, at least for my own use, wilt thou not?"
36301If you did not wish him to live, why did you restore him to life?"
36301In a word, is he a man to whose interests I could worthily attach myself?"
36301In what way dost thou consider it would be most desirable to employ this wealth?"
36301Is he afraid I want him to make me a present?
36301Is he generous, and do you think that he would pay any regard to a young stranger, who might offer to serve him against his enemies?
36301Is it not Allah that spins the thread of our destiny?
36301Is it not also true that the king himself used all his endeavours to dissuade you from your rash resolution?"
36301Is it not in hopes of making them more happy that I am about to expose my life?
36301Is it possible that it is you I have met here?"
36301Is it possible that the princess of China could be guilty of such an atrocious attempt?
36301Is it the secret of making gold?"
36301Is it thus that you show the submission you owe to the decrees of Heaven?
36301Is not a son nearer and dearer than all the friends in the world?
36301Is not this unexpected good fortune, a blessing from Heaven?
36301Is the question the prince has proposed so difficult, that you can not answer it?
36301Is your majesty quite contented?"
36301It is of no use to say to a poor man like me,''To whom wouldst thou give thy money?''
36301May I be so bold in return to inquire to whom I have the honour of speaking?"
36301Merciful Heaven, is it the lot of all those who look upon this portrait to become enamoured of this inhuman princess?
36301My dear bird, my little husband, why art thou taken from, me so soon?
36301Nevertheless, I desire not to sell the powder, but may I bestow it, and at once, upon one or two men whom I esteem highly?"
36301Of what account are fifty years added to sixty or eighty, soon to be over for me?
36301Of what avail is it that these walls are built of precious stones?
36301Of what benefit would money got by such means be to me?"
36301Of what have I been guilty?''
36301On my way to the palace I said to myself,"Firouzshah has no doubt discovered my correspondence with Zelica; but how can he have learned it?"
36301On the sixteenth day my guest, after chatting on indifferent matters, said to me,"Hassan, would you like to sell yourself to me?"
36301Ought you to have feared an ungracious reception?
36301Possessed of gold, what can we not enjoy?
36301Pray what are the contents of this chest?"
36301Regrettest thou what has been taken from thy shop?
36301Shall I succeed in my purpose?
36301Since this prince has answered your questions satisfactorily, I ask all this assembly if it is not right that you should become his wife?"
36301Speak, and reply exactly and truly to my questions:--When you came to Candahar, were you not told that I was a severe punisher of criminals?"
36301Tchin thought to himself,"Where should I find a man of such probity as Lin- in?
36301The book of wisdom is now useless; what man is there who does not think himself wise?"
36301The khan then said to him,"Thou appearest to be a stranger amongst us; where wast thou born, and what is thy profession?"
36301The king then said,"Who are you?
36301The officer, at these words, regarding him with astonishment, said to him,"Prince, do you know that you come to seek death?
36301Then he said,"Mahmoud, dost thou declare that thou affordest sufficient nourishment to thy wife?"
36301There, near the Indies, is a high mountain, Mount Himalaya-- dost thou not know it?"
36301Thy wife and thy sons, are they ill?
36301To live fifty years longer than usual, what is that?"
36301We are too fortunate not to be molested by these monsters; why should we go in search of them?"
36301What alarm can all the princes of the world, to say nothing of Cacem, occasion to the father- in- law of the king of the genii?
36301What am I to think?
36301What are you come to tell me?''
36301What can detain her so long at her father''s?
36301What can have happened?
36301What can his motive be?"
36301What certainty have you that I shall perish?
36301What clothes are these you appear in?
36301What could he intend to do?
36301What good would that do?
36301What has happened?
36301What has taken place?''
36301What have I done to deserve such punishment from Heaven?"
36301What injury shall I do him by taking the chandelier?
36301What is the good of throwing oneself into the water before the ship is really going to pieces?"
36301What is your determination?"
36301What king could have possessed such riches?
36301What man would not be terrified at the condition without which he can not hope to obtain her?
36301What precious stones do you speak of that we have belonging to you?"
36301What prince would be mad enough to face such danger?''
36301What provocation have I given you for making war against me?"
36301What shall I write to the caliph?"
36301What tongue can express to you the gratitude I feel for so great an honour?
36301What will be his grief when he knows that he has conferred such a benefit upon his enemy?
36301What would he think of me?
36301When I related the strange proposal of my guest, my mother said,"What can this man want to do with you?"
36301When she confesses to you that you are dear to her, how will you receive such a glorious avowal?
36301When the Arab saw me, he said,"Is this what you promised me?
36301When they arrived, he said to them,"What were you disputing about, my friends, when I passed you?"
36301Where would it be possible for her to meet with one more perfectly worthy of her?"
36301Who are you who can promise this?"
36301Who are you?"
36301Why do you not show me your treasure?
36301Why give way to this transport of fury?
36301Why have you risked the danger of losing the object of your love?"
36301Why have you torn me away from my poor but peaceful home?"
36301Why is it that he is now the fortunate owner of this treasure of treasures?
36301Why not therefore endeavour to prolong thine own?
36301Why persevere in the pursuit of an inhuman creature whom thou wilt never be able to obtain?
36301Why was it ordained that you should come to lodge in my house?
36301Why will you not do it yourself?
36301Why, have I often asked myself, should our lives be shorter than those of an oak of the forests, of a serpent, or even of a vulture?"
36301Will you become one of our fraternity?
36301Will your love for me hold out against the honour of having the affections of the first princess in the world?"
36301Wilt thou enter into partnership with me?"
36301Would it not be better to keep this treasure for thyself and for thy sons?
36301Would they not kill each other for want of room?"
36301added he,"what will be thy grief when thou shalt be told of the extraordinary death of thy son?
36301and who shall dare to carry thee the news?"
36301are you ill?"
36301art thou sick, or dost thou return to me perishing of hunger?"
36301asked I;"of what am I accused?"
36301charming Tourandocte,"hereupon cried the prince of the Nagäis,"is it possible that you entertain such favourable sentiments towards me?
36301cried he;"ought I to disclose to my eyes so dangerous an object?
36301cried she,"by what good fortune did you recover our dear child, whom I thought we had lost for ever?"
36301cried the physician of Tunis,"is not life preferable to all the riches in the world?
36301cruel daughter of the best of kings, is it thus that you abuse the gifts with which Heaven has endowed you?
36301eagerly asked the widow,"what enterprise are you so rashly planning?
36301exclaimed the Arab;"are you not Hassan Abdallah, and can you send away your guest by concealing your name?"
36301exclaimed the cadi,"is it possible to marry such a monster as that?"
36301exclaimed the lady,"whither does your love carry you?
36301have I lied to thee, or deceived myself?
36301have you become so much altered in the course of so few years?
36301have you discovered any thing?''
36301have you found any thing?
36301have you left off mourning?"
36301have you then killed and robbed some one?
36301he cried,"what are you doing?
36301he replied, eyeing them with a threatening aspect,"what will you say, when I show you a certificate from the cadi of Ormus, proving the contrary?"
36301he said,"is it to you I owe my life?"
36301how can I escape his snares?
36301how couldst thou confer on this barbarous princess so much beauty, or why adorn so inhuman a soul with so many charms?"
36301how did you learn to break my charm in this manner?
36301how has the time passed with you since our last interview?"
36301how is it that you have told what I wished to conceal, if it were possible, even from myself?
36301how many families Pekin was said to contain?
36301how was it possible for him to get into my room?
36301is not this street lonely enough, that you can not hold your discourse aloud?
36301is that you, my eldest brother?
36301must I confess it, cruel though the princess of China be, I could never find in my foolish heart to hate her?
36301my dear child,"said he, patronizingly,"of what service can I be to you?"
36301oh, king of the world, was it you who honoured your slave''s house?"
36301resumed Tchin;"where else should I find such honesty and generosity?"
36301said Aboulcassem,"is it possible so unworthy and cruel a father possesses such a daughter?"
36301said I to myself;"and by whose orders can it be that this eunuch treats me in such a manner?"
36301said I,"what is the nature of the secret?
36301said Yousouf,"art thou mad?
36301said he to himself,"how is this, that the cadi, my greatest enemy, is become so civil to me to- day?
36301said he,"if I die, what will become of my father and mother?"
36301said he,"what are you doing?
36301said she;"what causes you to be thus agitated?"
36301said the young man much surprised;"why this sudden grief?
36301shall I receive from him such an act of kindness, and not be able to repay him?
36301she asked,"and what fancies have you got into your head?
36301she exclaimed,"what is the meaning of this change, and what has that man been saying to you?"
36301she exclaimed;''am I, young, robed in a satin dress, with lace and precious stones, am I to go and shut the court- yard door?
36301she said,"do you still bring back this basket?
36301that this lattice is of fine gold, that this cage is of gold, and hangs on a golden chain?
36301that what is joy to one, may be the cause of grief to another?
36301what am I, and what have I done to deserve the honour of being your father- in- law?"
36301what has Aswad done more than other men to deserve such an accumulation of good fortune?"
36301what sayst thou?"
36301what will become of us?
36301where is your sister- in- law?"
36301where?
36301who are you, and where do you come from?
36301who bid you destroy the cage?"
36301who can foresee the consequences of things?
36301why did I speak of Tourandocte?
36301why had my master not my eyes when he took thee into his hands?
36301why will they not leave me to live in peace without making attempts on my liberty?
36301with his adopted or with his real father?"
36301with the genius and penetration you possess, can you not accomplish it?"
36301you say the enchanter brings his hateful son with him-- why, then, have I never seen him?"
21331Am I a fool,answered the old man,"that I should dislike it?
21331Are you a man,said he,"to treat a poor Emir like me in the manner you have done, as if my house was a charnel- house?
21331Are your vile lips to defile the name of him who is the_ Alem penah_, the refuge of the world? 21331 As ye love your eyes,"exclaimed he,"who is there?"
21331Do you call God''s viceregent upon earth, you old demi- stitching, demi- praying fool, an infidel dog?
21331Do?
21331Friend,said Mansouri,"what are you talking about?
21331Have you burnt it?
21331Have you thrown it away?
21331Is it hiding at any other person''s house?
21331Is it lying in your house?
21331Then in the name of the Prophet what have you done with it? 21331 True, I said: what would you have more?"
21331Well, Babadul,said Mansouri,"have you a mind for a job,--a good job?"
21331Well, then, you agree to my proposal?
21331What your name?
21331Where is it, indeed?
21331Where is it?
21331Where is the Greek?
21331Where is the head, the head of the Aga of the Janissaries?
21331You are a tailor, are you not?
21331After all, is he not a prince?
21331Am I not a Mussulman like yourselves?
21331Am not I the Banou of this harem?
21331And my property, what is become of it?
21331And their viziers also have their allotted portion: why should they refuse them?
21331And what dog has done this deed?
21331Are the Gins at work, that they should have brought this about? � � Yes, Hajji, � said she, very composedly, � fate is a wonderful thing.
21331Are there Gins and Peris in this land? � � Are you such a novice, � answered the old woman, � not to know what that flower means?
21331Are there Gins and Peris in this land? � � Are you such a novice, � answered the old woman, � not to know what that flower means?
21331Are you an ass, that you should start at a shadow?
21331Are you going to eat it?"
21331Are you mad, oh Hakîm, or do you think me so?
21331Are you mad, or are you become a gambler? � � God forgive me, � answered I, � I am neither a madman nor a gambler.
21331As I continued to gaze upon her, she at length said, though still going on with her work, � Why do you look at me?
21331As for instance, what do you possess here at Constantinople?
21331As we stood at the window, the grand vizier said to the mollah Nadân, � In the name of Ali, what is this that we hear?
21331But tell us first, � addressing himself to me, � what have you seen and done?
21331But then, on the other hand, who made me so?
21331But what could I do?
21331But where should I stop, if I attempted to describe the numerous moving objects which attracted my attention?
21331But who can withstand the decrees of destiny?
21331But why weep at all?
21331But why, � said I, � does this khanum �--(pointing to the unveiled one)-- � why does she hold me so long in suspense?
21331But you, you who killed my husband, how came you to be a mollah? � � Is your husband dead, then, � said I, � that you talk to me thus?
21331But you, you who killed my husband, how came you to be a mollah? � � Is your husband dead, then, � said I, � that you talk to me thus?
21331But you,--what road do you intend to pursue?
21331But, after all, what shall I do? � � What can I say? � answered I.
21331But, after all, what shall I do? � � What can I say? � answered I.
21331But, shall I own it?
21331By my soul, tell me; where is the beast? � � � Friend, � answered my father, � what shall I say?
21331By my soul, tell me; where is the beast? � � � Friend, � answered my father, � what shall I say?
21331By the king � s beard, � said the king to Nadân, � tell me, do I stand for nothing in my own capital?
21331Cadies, mufties, sheikh- el- islams, abound here as well as in other Mohamedan cities, and why should I not have recourse to them?
21331Can I offer him five tomauns, and a pair of crimson_ shalwars_( trowsers)? � � What do I know, � said I, � what will satisfy him?
21331Can I offer him five tomauns, and a pair of crimson_ shalwars_( trowsers)? � � What do I know, � said I, � what will satisfy him?
21331Can not I fly from the horrid scene?
21331Can not I rather run a dagger into my heart?
21331Can we contend with fate?
21331Can you tell me anything positive about Yengi duniah, the New World; for I have heard so many contradictory reports that my brain is bewildered?
21331Did you bring home this dead man''s head to make a suit of clothes of?"
21331Did you ever see so large a mouth?
21331Did you never hear of the king who gave a famous poet a_ miscal_[18] of gold for every stanza which he composed?
21331Do not you know that death is cold, and that blood is hot, and that the first principle of the art is to apply warm remedies to cold diseases?
21331Do not you remark that they confirm every word by an oath?
21331Do they care for any one of these things?
21331Do you ever say your prayers?
21331Do you take us for animals, without understanding, without common sense?
21331Do you want to disgrace me, you filthy piece of flesh?
21331Dogs did I say?
21331Don � t you know that poets are sometimes very rich, and can, if they choose, become rich at all times, for they carry their wealth in their heads?
21331Every son of Islâm has the blessed Koran as his refuge, and ye would not be such infidels as to deprive me of that?
21331Family, did you say?
21331From Kaiumars, the first king of the world, to me who am the present Shah, what list is so perfect, so glorious?
21331Has a child of Ispahan( for such you are by your accent) been taken in by a Turk?
21331Have you become a prophet?
21331Have you brought the corn, or the ked khoda, which? � � I beg leave to state for your service, � said Shîr Ali, � neither.
21331Have you not even saved my ass, for I am sorely tired of going on foot?
21331Have your wits forsaken you?
21331Having inspected each in turn, he paused, and keeping his eyes riveted upon me, turned to the doctor, and said, � What sort of thing is this?
21331Having smoked two or three long whiffs, he said, � Where is this Armenian?
21331He prefaced his information by saying, � But why trouble yourself?
21331He spends at least five or six times that sum; and how is he to get it, if it flows not from the contributions of those who come under his cognizance?
21331He swears by his own head, that he will make me the first example if I do not find out the culprit. � � What culprit?
21331He therefore gently drew off the lid, when need I mention his horror and surprise at seeing a human head staring him in the face?

21331I returned in utter despair to my muleteer, who appeared not in the least surprised at what had happened and said, � What could you expect more?
21331I returned with the messenger, and the first words which the serdar said, upon my appearing before him, were, � Where is Yûsûf?
21331I thought of again taking to my profession; but who would trust their throats to a man who had the reputation of being a Turcoman spy?
21331If innocent in heart and mind, I sin unconscious of offence What use, O casuist, shall I find In absolution � s recompense?

21331Let me spit upon such an inheritance. � � But where is your money, your ready cash, Hajji?
21331Look at my eyes: have they lost their brightness?
21331Need I say more?
21331No, am I to be surprised at anything, when I see animals, without reason, acting like men, with it?
21331Och! � said I, sighing, � my liver has become water, and my soul has withered up. � � What news is this? � said the old man.
21331Of what good would all your riches be, if the day after repossessing them you were found dead in your bed?
