7096 | How is it possible for me to keep silence about it? 7096 How then, Gilgamish, wilt thou be able to cross the sea? |
7096 | My heart sad, my form dejected? |
7096 | The hero Shamash( the Sun- god) hath indeed crossed the sea, but who besides him could do so? 7096 Thou starest out blankly(?) |

28072 | [ 35] How far did that diversity go? 28072 ***** When we attempt to mount the stream of history and to pierce the mists which become ever thicker as we near its source, what is it that we see? 28072 350- 3(?). 28072 Again, is not the building on the left of the picture obviously a flat- roofed house? 28072 And is not that enough to suggest a probable reason for the want of windows characteristic of an Oriental dwelling? 28072 And may not these groups, though distinct, have been more closely connected than the Jews were willing to admit? 28072 Are they ideographic signs or funeral offerings? 28072 But how to represent the wooded mountains on this side of the water? 28072 Can any other instance be cited of an art so well endowed entirely suppressing what we should call the civil element of life? 28072 Granting wooden roofs, how is such an accumulation to be accounted for? 28072 How many stages were there? 28072 In the case of vaults how are we to suppose that the rooms were lighted? 28072 Is it too much to suppose that by means of rivers and canals those of Nineveh may have been taken there too? 28072 M. Halévy has translated an Assyrian text, whose meaning he thus epitomizes:What becomes of the individual deposited in a tomb? |
28072 | Must they not have trembled for the security of tombs surrounded by a rebellious and angry populace? |
28072 | Must we believe that it was never finished or used? |
28072 | Must we conclude that stone columns were unknown in Chaldæa and Assyria? |
28072 | Must we take it to be the plan of his royal city as a whole, or only of his palace? |
28072 | Nineveh,"the dwelling of the lions,""the bloody city,"saw its last day;"Nineveh is laid waste,"says the prophet Nahum,"who will bemoan her? |
28072 | Supposing such an arrangement to have obtained in Mesopotamia, of what material were the piers or columns composed? |
28072 | Was it impelled by mere inability to distinguish, by varieties of feature, form and attitude, between the different gods created by the imagination? |
28072 | Was it the same in Chaldæa? |
28072 | What then were we to make of these arched blocks, also coated with stucco, but found in the centre of the rooms and far away from the walls? |
28072 | What, it is asked, do these men want with light? |
28072 | When wooden roofs were used were they upheld by wooden uprights or by columns of any other material? |
28072 | Why did art, in creating divine types, give such prominence to features borrowed from the lower animals? |
28072 | Why is it that such works have perished and left no sign? |

29631 | Yet,he said"you had mercy upon me, and cured me and my daughter( who also had had the plague), and why? |
29631 | Am I to remain under the ministry of such a teacher? |
29631 | And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? |
29631 | And had we gone, what a state should we have been in? |
29631 | And yet, in truth, how are they inconsistent with the universal love of God and propitiation of Christ? |
29631 | Are they wiser than our Bishops and ancient fathers, that we should reject what they introduced?" |
29631 | But were not the Scribes and Pharisees in many things ignorant and unsound? |
29631 | But why set up one set of worms and their conduct against another set of worms and theirs, when we have the record of God in our hands? |
29631 | By presumptuous confidence? |
29631 | Do you not praise God for these dear brothers and sisters he has given us? |
29631 | Does not Paul say, Who is Paul or Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believe? |
29631 | From such men, what can you expect? |
29631 | He added,"Did you ever see me before I came about my leg?" |
29631 | How? |
29631 | I fear this is ominous, for if ransom is what the Yezidees want, would they not have contrived to forward some notice to Bagdad? |
29631 | If it does but lead to my Lord''s glory, I am sure it will lead to my dear sufferer''s; then why should I repine? |
29631 | Is it a principle antecedent and necessary to faith? |
29631 | Is it ever in the sense of presumptuous confidence? |
29631 | Is it in the mode of appointment of Bishops? |
29631 | Is it in the mode of appointment to the cure of souls? |
29631 | Is it the Liturgy? |
29631 | Is it, that men have life in them_ first_, to capacitate them to eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man? |
29631 | Is spirit and life in men first from another source, and then do they take and profit by his words? |
29631 | Is there, then, no need for regeneration? |
29631 | John, in like manner, tells us, that"whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world,"and if we ask, what is born of God? |
29631 | Lord, I desire so to do; for he is a dear and kind father, though_ nature_ can not always see it, and indeed how could this be? |
29631 | No-- but by saying he hath given bread, but_ can he give meat_ also? |
29631 | Now, where is this written? |
29631 | Oh, when will the Lord come to put an end to these scenes of disorder, physical as well as moral? |
29631 | On the other hand, what example does he give if he quit this, which may be granted on all hands to be an unsound ministry, for a sound one? |
29631 | Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it,"What makest thou?" |
29631 | She constantly exclaimed, as we walked on the roof of our house[32] of an evening,"When will he come?" |
29631 | Surely the judgment of the Lord is on this land? |
29631 | Therefore he said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? |
29631 | They immediately began with saying,"What does this infidel with arms? |
29631 | What, indeed, is meant to be asserted? |
29631 | What, then, is the Church of England, or Scotland, or the Dissenters, but various ministries, by which we believe? |
29631 | When day by day I rise and see our numbers complete, and all in health, my soul is indeed made to feel what can not the Lord do? |
29631 | When the sceptical Sadducees and the Pharisees, sought a sign it was to try him, can he do it? |
29631 | Where then does this apostolic similarity dwell, and in what does it consist? |
29631 | Wherefore do ye tempt the Lord? |
29631 | Will he kill Moslems?" |
29631 | With them what can you do? |
29631 | Would this contain even an insinuation, that they were the exclusive objects of his disinterested ardour? |
29631 | Yes, truly; but were these the things of which the Lord said expressly, these things observe and do? |
29631 | [ 39] By whom authorised, of God or of man? |
29631 | [ 6] And yet what security is afforded by a present abatement of the visitation? |
29631 | had not Moses respect unto the recompense of reward; and in all the 11th of the Hebrews, where is this abstraction held up? |
29631 | indeed, what part of it so peculiarly his own, as to love his neighbour as himself? |
29631 | then, what might be expected if we had been strong in the Lord and in the power of his might? |
29631 | will you give it to these infidels before us?" |
38714 | A company of infantry with a machine- gun, assisted by Halil''s horde, will no doubt suffice? |
38714 | A new apprentice, barber? |
38714 | A prisoner? |
38714 | And how did you get out? |
38714 | And if I am not? 38714 And it falls upon you to count all these things? |
38714 | And what of our big push, sir? |
38714 | And why is he too not in the army? |
38714 | Answer my question: what have you done since you left the barber? |
38714 | Are you indeed the man who saved Rejeb out of the hand of Halil''s creatures?--the man whom our chief bade us hold in honour? |
38714 | But what will it profit? |
38714 | But where to? 38714 Did not my heart tell me you were not as you seemed?" |
38714 | Did they put up a fight, sir? |
38714 | Have you no eyes, foolish one? |
38714 | He has a straight back, Allah be praised,said the barber,"but what is that? |
38714 | He will understand that Rejeb is waiting to hear whether he may expect help? 38714 How did you know?" |
38714 | How long would it take you to patch up sufficiently to get us back? |
38714 | If I am thus employed, how can I accompany you in your goings to and fro, and accompany you I must, for your own safety? |
38714 | Is it for servants to know their master''s business? |
38714 | Is it good news, my brother? |
38714 | May not my hands now be unbound? |
38714 | Might they not construct a raft on which to convey it on the stream itself? |
38714 | Say you so? 38714 The machine''s all right?" |
38714 | Then will you fly a few miles northward, say as far as the_ tell_, and see what the beggars are up to? 38714 These ruins the Turks must pass on their way; shall we not then ride directly thither, and there lie in wait?" |
38714 | We''ll do it, then? |
38714 | What about non- combatants? |
38714 | What are you? 38714 What can you do?" |
38714 | What did I say, Aga? |
38714 | What evil destiny brought you before my eyes? 38714 What for?" |
38714 | What harm has befallen you? |
38714 | What if you are some paltry horse- thief that has taken the name of Yusuf the boatman with some evil design? 38714 What is that sound, brother?" |
38714 | What is that? |
38714 | What is to become of you, Aga? 38714 What is your name, whence do you come, and on what errand?" |
38714 | What need? 38714 What was that?" |
38714 | What? 38714 What?" |
38714 | Where did you steal it? |
38714 | Where in the swamps would they find wood? 38714 Where is your apprentice?" |
38714 | Who am I that I should offer counsel? |
38714 | Who can tell the future? |
38714 | Who knows whether there will be such a chance? |
38714 | Who then are you? |
38714 | Why wait for the guns? |
38714 | Will you not take a larger force? |
38714 | Will you send out men to bring them in? |
38714 | You are no boatman? |
38714 | You ca n''t fly, then? |
38714 | You left Firouz Ali: what are you doing here? |
38714 | You smell the oil of lavender? 38714 You will not go alone?" |
38714 | Your father''s son must always be welcome,he said,"but what of prudence? |
38714 | Your name? |
38714 | A crate had fallen: what was that to him? |
38714 | Am I a child? |
38714 | An aeroplane was approaching: was it friend or foe? |
38714 | And here, effendi, is a bottle of my famous lotion-- a small token of my gratitude, but in truth what can a man give better than his best?" |
38714 | And was I not honoured in bedewing your own matchless locks with my sweet- savoured essences? |
38714 | Any messages for headquarters?" |
38714 | Are you badly hurt?" |
38714 | Ass- head I am, but my legs-- are not they the legs of a man? |
38714 | But how could an attack be made? |
38714 | But how is it at the end of the day? |
38714 | But surely your life was not in danger?" |
38714 | But what can we do? |
38714 | But what is this? |
38714 | But who can strive against Fate? |
38714 | By the tomb of my father, what should he do in the army? |
38714 | CHAPTER IX FRIENDS OR FOES? |
38714 | Can your Arab friend stick it for a week or two without help?" |
38714 | Could he discover the stronghold, leave the horse in Rejeb''s care, and yet keep his appointment with Captain Ellingford? |
38714 | Could you not trust me to bring us both safely away? |
38714 | D''you know what this here thing reminds me of?" |
38714 | Did he not break my best basin into a thousand and one fragments?" |
38714 | Did the man reach you?" |
38714 | Did you not perceive his sulkiness, and the sparkle of some thought in his eye? |
38714 | Did you not see him pass out, rubbing his pumpkin pate?" |
38714 | Do not I ask myself that question twenty times a day? |
38714 | Do you know such a place?" |
38714 | For what purpose did the Turks require petrol? |
38714 | Further if by good luck he should meet Captain Ellingford-- and that was now doubtful-- what could he do with the horse then? |
38714 | Had he been seen in spite of all his caution? |
38714 | He was not content with knowing that killing was his duty: he felt bound to go a step farther back, and ask himself, was his duty right? |
38714 | He was standing beside Jackson, who had just set up the machine- gun, when the man suddenly swung round, exclaiming:"Hear that hum, sir?" |
38714 | How many are these Turks?" |
38714 | How should they keep pace with the legs of these mules?" |
38714 | How was he to achieve it? |
38714 | How would the Arabs, wearied by exertions unfamiliar to them, suffering from scarcity of food, endure the shock and strain of the crisis? |
38714 | If things go ill, where is the misbegotten dog of a non- commissioned officer who is to blame?" |
38714 | Is Ellingford well enough to fly?" |
38714 | Is it a time for questions? |
38714 | Is it not a necessary virtue? |
38714 | Is it not because they know that my people hate the Turks, and will lend assistance to all who are the Turk''s enemies? |
38714 | Is it not known far and wide that the illustrious Bukkad Bey has entrusted to me his noble chin? |
38714 | Is it not my business to know?" |
38714 | Is it not wise to seize any chance of keeping them at a distance?" |
38714 | Is not his name Bukkad Bey?" |
38714 | Is not the aroma fragrant as the gardens of the Prophet? |
38714 | Moreover, is there not great danger in the handling of them? |
38714 | No doubt they can be got away by the route you followed?" |
38714 | Now and again he found himself asking,"Why do n''t they come?" |
38714 | Now, as to this fastness-- you have a map? |
38714 | Now, what about ammunition?" |
38714 | On the other hand, if the machine was piloted by the captain, why had he alighted so far from his destination? |
38714 | Rejeb''s men were accustomed to go forth on their forays by night: was this a foraging party from the stronghold, or a hostile band? |
38714 | Shall I have more dealings with a shaving- brush?" |
38714 | Shall I speak twice?" |
38714 | Shall it be told that an Arab of Rejeb''s tribe is not equal to a dog of a Turk? |
38714 | Shall we say a month from to- day? |
38714 | Should he stampede them? |
38714 | Surely he had counted six before? |
38714 | That you are Firouz Ali the barber I know, and that you have shaved Bukkad Bey and shampooed me; but who is this? |
38714 | The newcomer sat himself down on a stool, and the barber went on:"Said I not truly? |
38714 | The situation of the fastness is described as a long march south of the_ tell_ of-- what is the name, major?" |
38714 | These Turks are a reconnoitring patrol of a larger force----""What?" |
38714 | Was he the victim suddenly of the airman''s chief foe, engine trouble? |
38714 | What could he do? |
38714 | What had remotest antiquity to do with this symbol of modernity, the last word in scientific invention in a world of scientific marvels? |
38714 | What if they slept in turn, leaving one always on guard? |
38714 | What if we should steal away by night? |
38714 | What is his offence, I pray you?" |
38714 | What is that to you if I am a friend?" |
38714 | What is this?" |
38714 | What need to hide in the very chamber of the foe? |
38714 | What should he reply? |
38714 | What sort of reception shall we get there?" |
38714 | What then could be done? |
38714 | What would be their next move? |
38714 | Where are his wits? |
38714 | Where did your Arab friends spring from?" |
38714 | Where were the others? |
38714 | Where would you locate it on the map?" |
38714 | Where''s Ellingford?" |
38714 | Wherefore then is he in your company, his raiment changed?" |
38714 | Who can bear witness better than you that I am Firouz Ali, the barber of Bagdad, the maker of sweet scents and famous lotions? |
38714 | Who can tell? |
38714 | Who is to lead my people if the Turkish dogs attack?" |
38714 | Whose hand is more cunning than Firouz Ali''s? |
38714 | Why are you wandering here alone?" |
38714 | Why in the softness of my heart did I have pity on you, poor fool, and hire you to be my helper? |
38714 | Why should not the barber make capital of his summons to Burckhardt? |
38714 | Why was not the prisoner following him? |
38714 | Will he repay me for all my pains in training him to my honourable craft? |
38714 | Wish you was at Brighton, Bill?" |
38714 | Would it be possible to elude them? |
38714 | Would the Arabs''resolution stand the test of gun fire? |
38714 | Would the British relief force arrive during that time? |
38714 | Would they be able to ride him down? |
38714 | Would they halt at the_ tell_, or, late as the hour was, continue their march to Rejeb''s stronghold? |
38714 | Would you shame me before the very face of his excellency? |
38714 | Would you take away my good name, and cause it to be spread abroad throughout the world that Firouz Ali is the uncle of an ass? |
38714 | [ Illustration: MAJOR BURCKHARDT IS DISTURBED]"What-- what is happening?" |
38714 | was it not well done?" |
38714 | were it not better to take repose and refresh yourself for what the morrow may bring forth?" |
35615 | And after that? |
35615 | And what about the numbers 3 and 5? |
35615 | And where now is this accursed serpent belt? |
35615 | And you put them all to flight? |
35615 | And you would remain here for so long? |
35615 | Are you sorry that you came? |
35615 | Are you sure that he is an Englishman? 35615 Are you, then, Faris''s son?" |
35615 | Brother,I said,"have you so soon forgotten me?" |
35615 | But how,I asked,"did Shahzadi''s shoe become the talisman of the Muntafik?" |
35615 | But suppose it does not come off, what is going to happen? 35615 But tell me some of the strange things that this golden belt has done?" |
35615 | But tell me, did the seer bring the belt to the appointed place? |
35615 | But what about our old friends, the sheik and Sedjur? |
35615 | But what shall we do with the sick stranger? |
35615 | But why are you so anxious to find me? |
35615 | But,I inquired,"had the Ingleezee 5000 kerans with him, so that he might purchase the belt?" |
35615 | Can he possibly pull round? |
35615 | Can you read German? |
35615 | Could not we break through the wall,I asked,"and so escape?" |
35615 | Could you possibly conceive,he blurted out,"that the world could contain such a pack of bigoted idiots? |
35615 | Did he not give you any other message? |
35615 | Did he? |
35615 | Did you not know,I asked,"why he came with your sheik from Kerbela?" |
35615 | Do n''t you believe it,said I,"what sort of a person do you take me for? |
35615 | Do you not now possess it? |
35615 | Do you not remember what was written in the paper which you read to me? 35615 Do you suppose,"I asked him at last,"that they have been giving him your medicine properly?" |
35615 | Do you think I did right,I asked, when I had finished,"in making a clean breast of everything?" |
35615 | Do you understand? |
35615 | Do you want anything? |
35615 | Fool,said he,"would you murder a priest in the presence of his goddess, in her own temple? |
35615 | Has it ever struck you, sir,I said,"that our friend Edwards is a little bit afraid of it?" |
35615 | Have I not sworn by Allah? |
35615 | Have n''t you forgotten that miserable bauble? |
35615 | Have n''t you opened the box since then? |
35615 | Have you considered,continued the Governor,"what has resulted from your headstrong behaviour? |
35615 | Have you ever left your watch lying about? |
35615 | Have you such a poor opinion of us town- dwellers, then? |
35615 | Have you turned woman? 35615 Have you, then, secured it?" |
35615 | How do you know this? |
35615 | How far is it to the city? |
35615 | How know you? |
35615 | How long ago did he die? |
35615 | How long, Effendi, have you been in Hillah? |
35615 | How many days in your boat? |
35615 | How many do you want? |
35615 | How many kerans did you say, Beg? |
35615 | How many of the accursed robbers did you say you encountered at Babil the day before yesterday, father? |
35615 | How much farther have we to go? |
35615 | How shall you start the subject? |
35615 | How so? |
35615 | How think you we shall walk through that waterless waste, when even to ride through it is courting death? |
35615 | How, in heaven''s name, did you get here? |
35615 | I must get hold of him somehow,I said;"what do you think I had better do?" |
35615 | If,I said, addressing Haroun,"we accept the Governor''s suggestion, will he then send an envoy and sue for peace?" |
35615 | Is it still safe and sound? |
35615 | Is n''t it enough? |
35615 | Is not the safe itself made of iron? 35615 Is that all?" |
35615 | Is that all? |
35615 | Is this really the seer of whom you told me,I whispered to Faris,"and the same that we thought had perished in the fire?" |
35615 | Know you,said the first Arab,"that your illness cost us the life of our sheik, Abbas- ibn- Rashid, who was ever your friend?" |
35615 | Let us take the way that we came, and retrace our steps out of these underground dungeons; or shall we cast lots as to the road we shall follow? |
35615 | Master,said the man, as he drew near,"it is you who were with Sheik Faris in the desert; is it not so?" |
35615 | My poor friend,I said,"how_ could_ you have come to this?" |
35615 | Naturally,said I,"who else will make the post mortem?" |
35615 | Not very cheerful, is it? |
35615 | Of what mare? |
35615 | Shall we ride back to camp? |
35615 | Sheik Faris,I asked,"sent, by you, nothing for me?" |
35615 | Sheik,I said in a low voice, hardly daring to break the silence,"what was it?" |
35615 | Sheik,I whispered, fearing to speak aloud,"do you know which way to take?" |
35615 | Then what do you wish to do with him? |
35615 | Then what is it that you wish to say? |
35615 | Then why,I asked,"have you now come to Baghdad to seek him? |
35615 | Then you saw all? |
35615 | Then,said Daud,"you know not that that Ingleezee is dead?" |
35615 | Well, Hussein, what is the news? |
35615 | Well, Walter,said my uncle, after we had recovered from the excitement of our first meeting,"is your golden treasure still safe and sound?" |
35615 | Well, now, Sheik of Sheiks,I said, after we had settled down to our pipes in private,"what news of the serpent belt?" |
35615 | Well, what is the matter with the poor little chap? |
35615 | Well, which way shall we go? |
35615 | Well,I asked at last,"what do you propose that we shall do?" |
35615 | Well,said Edwards, after I had given him the sheik''s account of the mysterious girdle,"what is your programme now? |
35615 | Well,said Edwards, anxiously, when I had finished reading,"what do you think?" |
35615 | Well,said I,"shall we go and suggest that we would like to go off to Baghdad at once, without waiting to go to Meshed Ali?" |
35615 | What age do you suppose this Faris to be? |
35615 | What are all these tents? |
35615 | What are we going to do? |
35615 | What are you going to do? |
35615 | What became of the boatman who brought me down here, and saved my life? |
35615 | What bill? |
35615 | What can we do? |
35615 | What do you imagine that Faris and Sedjur are doing here? |
35615 | What do you suppose is going to happen to us? |
35615 | What earthly good would it do? 35615 What else can we do?" |
35615 | What harm would it do my friend,asked Edwards,"were you to proclaim that you saw him at Katib? |
35615 | What has been going on, then? |
35615 | What is it that has happened? |
35615 | What is it that has happened? |
35615 | What is it, my friend,he asked,"that you wish to say?" |
35615 | What is it? |
35615 | What is the matter, Haroun? |
35615 | What is the matter, old man? |
35615 | What is the matter? |
35615 | What manner of man,I asked,"is that Ingleezee?" |
35615 | What matter does it make,said I,"by whom the horse was stolen? |
35615 | What on earth for? |
35615 | What on earth is the matter? |
35615 | What possible good do you think you can do him? |
35615 | What situation? |
35615 | What sort of lock have you got on the box? |
35615 | What thought you of the horse you have been riding? |
35615 | What was it like? |
35615 | What were they? |
35615 | What will the Governor do? |
35615 | What, Abbas- ibn- Rashid? |
35615 | What, my brother Faris? |
35615 | When will you start? |
35615 | When, sheik,he asked, addressing Faris,"do you propose to quit Baghdad?" |
35615 | Where are our horses? |
35615 | Where are you? |
35615 | Where is Dimitri Sahib? |
35615 | Where is the letter? |
35615 | Where is your village? |
35615 | Where on earth have they gone? |
35615 | Where then is the sheik, your father? |
35615 | Where to? |
35615 | Which way? |
35615 | Who are ye who speak thus lightly? |
35615 | Who is he? |
35615 | Who was it, then,I asked,"who lowered me into the well, from which I recovered the Girdle? |
35615 | Who was it? |
35615 | Why did they bother to bring_ us_? |
35615 | Why did you not tell this to your captors when you were taken? |
35615 | Why is it,I asked,"that you will never speak about my Girdle?" |
35615 | Why should your people wish to keep in such a place so unimportant a thing as the shoe of one of our mares? 35615 Why was not the Ingleezee to take the belt?" |
35615 | Why, then,I asked,"since you believed me to be dead, should you have taken any further trouble about Mersina and the Girdle?" |
35615 | Why? |
35615 | Will you allow us the night to decide? |
35615 | Will you take me there? |
35615 | Would you like to read it? |
35615 | You are very silent,said the captain, after a long pause in the conversation,"are you getting sleepy?" |
35615 | You do not mean to say,said I,"that you propose rushing back to Baghdad?" |
35615 | You secured no booty, then? |
35615 | You will not chuck him over until after the fight, will you? |
35615 | And was it a mere coincidence that Shahzadi''s shoe had at first 3 nail- holes on either side, and then 8 nail- holes altogether?" |
35615 | And we have returned; what more can they want? |
35615 | And who was the man whom I saw lying dead among the rocks?" |
35615 | Answer me yet again, did you meet any Bedouins as you rode hither?" |
35615 | Are you on for it?" |
35615 | But how was I to reach my goal? |
35615 | But now tell me, was it indeed an accident that brought you and your friend the Hakim to our tents?" |
35615 | But what will he do with it?" |
35615 | But why do you ask?" |
35615 | But your friend thinks that the evil spirit which was in the Girdle has now flown, does he not?" |
35615 | But, tell me, how far have we yet to go? |
35615 | By whom was it stolen?" |
35615 | Can he be the writer of that note?" |
35615 | Can it be possible that he was escaping with the serpent belt? |
35615 | Can you yourself think of any plan by which they may be removed?" |
35615 | Can you, with all your knowledge of magic, say why fire suddenly issued from the ground and destroyed the inmates of that chamber?" |
35615 | Come, Daud, do you understand my meaning?" |
35615 | Come, Hakim, my honoured guest, buckle on the belt, and end the trouble; otherwise, who knows? |
35615 | Could I possibly obtain it? |
35615 | Could it be that the seer had become mad? |
35615 | Do these also go to the big house where the horse- shoe is?" |
35615 | Do you imagine that you are capable of combating all the evil that fell on every man who ever touched the dreaded thing? |
35615 | Do you see the luminous paint? |
35615 | Do you see them?" |
35615 | Do you suppose I have been looking at this compass of mine ever since we left the guide simply to amuse myself? |
35615 | Do you suppose we shall be able to take him to Baghdad with us?" |
35615 | Do you suppose your Western magic to be more powerful than that of the East? |
35615 | Do you think I might?" |
35615 | Do you think that Henderson ought to sit up so late?" |
35615 | Do you wish to show mercy to your bitterest foe?" |
35615 | Eh, Henderson?" |
35615 | Had all this been brought about by the goddess Sophana, wrathful at my desire to possess her sacred girdle? |
35615 | Have I lived another life, in another world? |
35615 | Have you brought Shahzadi''s shoe?" |
35615 | How are you feeling after that awful jolting?" |
35615 | How did you meet with him?" |
35615 | How did you succeed in carrying off that serpent belt?" |
35615 | How do you feel now?" |
35615 | How do you imagine that anyone is going to squeeze a paltry thousand pounds, or even a hundred pounds, out of two such paupers as you and me? |
35615 | How do you, an Ingleezee, know of such matters as these? |
35615 | How was it that you let go the rope? |
35615 | How, then, is it possible for me to agree to your proposals?" |
35615 | I answered,"have you no soul? |
35615 | I can not even see the soldiers, can you?" |
35615 | I replied in astonishment,"why should you think that he has died?" |
35615 | If so, how comes it that you yourself practise medicine?" |
35615 | Is he all right otherwise?" |
35615 | Is it not positively sickening?" |
35615 | Know you not, sheik, that these very Shammar extended to me full hospitality? |
35615 | May he not be a native of some other country of Europe?" |
35615 | Shall I be expected to be present?" |
35615 | Shall we leave them, and abandon our search?" |
35615 | Shall we, then, fix a day for your departure?" |
35615 | She would have lost the services of a hundred trained fighting men, and who would be left to repel the eventual attack on the town?" |
35615 | Should I also go mad from having worn it? |
35615 | Should I leave it there? |
35615 | Tell me, do the people who live in the big house keep all they possess for ever?" |
35615 | Tell me, from which direction did you ride hither?" |
35615 | Then where would Adiba be? |
35615 | Was I another Mazeppa? |
35615 | Was I to be thus carried about the desert until death came to my relief? |
35615 | Was I to start again on another interminable ride? |
35615 | Was it not so?" |
35615 | Well, sheik, what have you got to tell us?" |
35615 | Were you also trussed up on the side of a camel?" |
35615 | What are we going to do?" |
35615 | What became of the robbers who left the two merchants naked in the desert, and what became of the merchants?" |
35615 | What have you done with the other?" |
35615 | What have you to answer on that count?" |
35615 | What if the Englishman who found your wounded Sedjur had uttered such words?" |
35615 | What is the use of worrying about the future, and about such a hopeless thing as compensation? |
35615 | What proof is there that the child had any of his medicines?" |
35615 | What say you?" |
35615 | What says our hero? |
35615 | What was the matter?" |
35615 | When do you expect that the town will be attacked?" |
35615 | Where did you say it was kept?" |
35615 | Whereabouts are we?" |
35615 | Whom do you think I have been talking to, Walter?" |
35615 | Why do you follow me about?" |
35615 | Will you also come?" |
35615 | Would I also have to face tier above tier of London society? |
35615 | Would I have to deliver an address, and relate all my experiences? |
35615 | Would that it had brought you Queen Sophana''s Serpent Belt also? |
35615 | You surely do not suggest that we should continue to fool about in the desert any longer?" |
35615 | he replied;"what matter? |
35615 | interrupted my father,"are you going on with this much longer?" |
38319 | ; no shadow on the earth to which one could sayWhence?" |
38319 | Ah, well, kim bilior? |
38319 | Allah bilior( God knows), and then, after a minute''s silence, he repeated:"Kim bilior? |
38319 | Am not I a good kalekji? |
38319 | Aman,rejoins Arten,"what am I to do? |
38319 | And are there no written words,he said,"to tell you the meaning of this law?" |
38319 | And how much money must I give for him, Padishah? |
38319 | And if you do not follow the law, what then? |
38319 | And you, Vali Pasha, have you also a friend in England? |
38319 | Are they wicked men, then? |
38319 | Are you ready? |
38319 | Burra, burra, burra,he would say, pointing his thumb at them;"burra, burra, burra, what is the use of all this talking?" |
38319 | But can they not see that you are travelling? |
38319 | But do you not see all these people looking at you? 38319 But if you all do the same,"said Hassan,"how can you progress? |
38319 | But why,persisted Hassan,"should that cause them not to understand you?" |
38319 | But, mademoiselle, do you not understand? 38319 Ca n''t you hurry the men up?" |
38319 | Can you not send these men away, ladies? 38319 Did you hear, Hassan?" |
38319 | Do you not see anything of the natives? |
38319 | Do you think the Mudir will be angry with us for leaving him behind? |
38319 | Do you? |
38319 | Does this abuse of the hat emanate from the same source? |
38319 | Got anything like this in London? |
38319 | Has she no friend in England,he asked X one day,"or does she never speak in England either?" |
38319 | Has there come to thee the story of the overwhelming? |
38319 | Have we not done well, Effendi? |
38319 | Health good? |
38319 | How can that be? |
38319 | How cold? |
38319 | How could I know you would like them? |
38319 | How did you know we liked tough chunks burnt on a brazier? |
38319 | How far is it to the next stage? |
38319 | How is that? |
38319 | How long has he been there? |
38319 | How much did you give for him? |
38319 | How''s everything? |
38319 | I say''Yasdin me''and she says,''How many piastres?'' 38319 Is Allah here?" |
38319 | Is he always going about in his shirt- sleeves, I wonder? |
38319 | Is it a sin that your country has committed that it is thus condemned,he went on,"or is the jinn an evil spirit under whose curse it lies?" |
38319 | Is it always like this? |
38319 | Is it really going to be a pudding? |
38319 | Is it this jinn that makes your men wear the hard black hats and the tight black clothes? |
38319 | Is my face as red as yours? |
38319 | Is not that mirage in front of us? 38319 It is so,"he said, nodding his head solemnly;"Kim bilior? |
38319 | It means''Have you written it?'' |
38319 | Kach Saat daha? |
38319 | Kim bilior? |
38319 | My hot- water bottle,answered X reflectively;"and you?" |
38319 | My soul is Christian,he said anxiously, as I moved off;"are you not my sister?" |
38319 | Nazil? |
38319 | Ne Pilij? |
38319 | Ne faidet? |
38319 | Ne yasdin me? |
38319 | No fowl, how eggs? |
38319 | Nothing,he would exclaim;"nothing?" |
38319 | Oh, is that all? |
38319 | Oh,said X, turning to me,"what was it?" |
38319 | Pas possible, mademoiselle,he kept on ejaculating,"pas possible, comment faire cuisine?" |
38319 | Pasha, what are we against these men? 38319 Pretty view, is n''t it?" |
38319 | Raki? |
38319 | Sheker, effendi? |
38319 | Soan? |
38319 | Supposing he does stop rowing,said X,"will you shoot him?" |
38319 | Surely you can appeal to the local authorities? |
38319 | The English fear nothing; why should they fear water? |
38319 | The Nicene Creed-- eh, what? |
38319 | The ladies like me, do they not? 38319 There, now do you see? |
38319 | They told us you would look after us here? |
38319 | We can only give to those who are really ill,we answered;"what is the matter with this one?" |
38319 | What are all these people doing? |
38319 | What are we to do? |
38319 | What can I do with figures? |
38319 | What can we have? |
38319 | What danger has there been? |
38319 | What do you want? |
38319 | What do you want? |
38319 | What is all this crowd about? |
38319 | What is going to happen to us? |
38319 | What is it to you? |
38319 | What is she saying? |
38319 | What is the matter with Hassan? |
38319 | What is this? |
38319 | What is this? |
38319 | What on earth do you mean? |
38319 | What will you have for supper? |
38319 | What would you mind losing most? |
38319 | What''s up? |
38319 | When would that be? |
38319 | Where are the cutlets? |
38319 | Where are your husbands? |
38319 | Where have you been? |
38319 | Where is he? 38319 Where is your dragoman?" |
38319 | Where is your friend now, Padishah? |
38319 | Where, indeed? |
38319 | Who are you? |
38319 | Who are you? |
38319 | Who is that? |
38319 | Who is this person then? |
38319 | Who know what? |
38319 | Who says that we may not camp here? |
38319 | Why did you never let us have them, then? |
38319 | Why did you say he had not come? |
38319 | Why do n''t you go and scold the Padishah? |
38319 | Why do they keep on looking at us? |
38319 | Why do you not carry arms? |
38319 | Why in such a hurry? |
38319 | Why, what does it make you think about? |
38319 | Why,laughed X,"do they think I shall roll over?" |
38319 | Will you come with us and guard us well? |
38319 | Will you explain,she said,"that the raft is ours, and that we are very sorry but we are afraid we can not take the ladies with us?" |
38319 | X,I murmured softly,"what does this make you think about?" |
38319 | X,I said,"I fear this poor creature''s head has been turned with fright; do you think a little quinine would be of any use? |
38319 | X,I said,"if you met a savage all alone in a wild piece of country what would you do?" |
38319 | X,I said,"is n''t this a splendid piece of luck?" |
38319 | X,I said,"what does''atesh getir''mean?" |
38319 | X,I said,"where do you think we are floating to?" |
38319 | X,I said,"will it be best to eat chocolate with the Bovril thrown in, or to drink Bovril with the chocolate thrown in?" |
38319 | X,I shout across the tent,"what does''yasdin me''mean? |
38319 | X? |
38319 | Yasdin me? 38319 Yasdin me? |
38319 | Yasdin me? |
38319 | Yasdin me? |
38319 | Yes, but what is it? |
38319 | You speak Turkish, then? |
38319 | You were not frightened in the night, I hope? |
38319 | ( Who knows? |
38319 | ( Who knows?) |
38319 | ( what is pilij?). |
38319 | ( what is the use? |
38319 | ( what is"yasdin me?"). |
38319 | (_ Turns to us._ You said that, did n''t you?) |
38319 | ***** Was it the sun only, with its light on the yellow columns, that made one think of Palmyra purely as a city of gold? |
38319 | A dishevelled looking official in uniform peeped through the door:"The Governor''s salaams, and do the Princesses require anything?" |
38319 | A messenger arrived from the Kaimakam-- were the ladies ready for the feast? |
38319 | A stray Armenian would accost us on the road with"Who are you? |
38319 | An angry buzz arose just behind us; were they going to stick us in the back? |
38319 | And as we tarried, marvelling on these things, there came out a messenger from the city, and he said,"Why standest thou without? |
38319 | And how do the noble ladies find Adana? |
38319 | And we said to Hassan,"Wherefore these mounds?" |
38319 | And we said,"Tell us, we pray thee, how that is?" |
38319 | And we, speaking through Jacobhan, said to him,"Has your business been well?" |
38319 | And where do the ladies intend to travel after this? |
38319 | Art thou become like unto us? |
38319 | But can you, in any mood or under any circumstance, evade the silence of the desert? |
38319 | But does this never happen to those who have made elaborate plans against all possible contingencies? |
38319 | But use it? |
38319 | But was not the moon more for us alone? |
38319 | But what would Time, that unremitting, relentless current, do with us? |
38319 | But why should our souls be vexed over the words of learned men? |
38319 | Coming out of a state of primitive civilisation, are we unable to appreciate the true meaning of our surroundings? |
38319 | Did they envy us, sitting boldly outside, unveiled, open to the stares of all this crowd? |
38319 | Do you feel any freedom in the wind until you have created it? |
38319 | Do you hear, Vali Pasha?" |
38319 | Do you mind it at all?" |
38319 | Do you never change then either, you in the West?" |
38319 | Do you not think it must be mirage, Effendi?" |
38319 | Do you not think the moment has arrived for giving ourselves some little return for all the bother they have been?" |
38319 | Does his Excellency think the road is safe? |
38319 | Had not Nebuchadnezzar entered into the House of the Dead in the great cavern Araltu, the Land of No Return? |
38319 | Hassan''s words rang in my ears,"Kim bilior? |
38319 | Hassan, has the Mudir come?" |
38319 | Have the ladies a kalek[6] in London? |
38319 | Have the ladies no husbands, then? |
38319 | Have you written it?" |
38319 | Have you written it?" |
38319 | Have you written it?" |
38319 | He admitted being there to tout for trade_ in case_ it came; but who could tell, in a country like this, what would happen? |
38319 | How could they be otherwise? |
38319 | How do the ladies like Turkey? |
38319 | How indeed can they be otherwise if you propose travelling in a country which has not yet been ticketed and docketed for the tourist? |
38319 | How much longer will its solitude be left unviolated? |
38319 | How will it be when the Monster comes, roaring and snorting through these silent plains, polluting this clear air with his dust and smoke? |
38319 | How''s mine?" |
38319 | I asked( How many hours more?). |
38319 | I have not the smallest idea what"yasdin me"means, but I pretend to write it down and then say:"How many piastres was it?" |
38319 | I look down this long_ table d''hôte_, and what do I see? |
38319 | I said,"how dared you begin by holding out hopes of lobster salad and maraschino croûstades?" |
38319 | In a short time they also will be dead, and you and I will be dead, and therefore why should we care whether or not this was the city of Abraham? |
38319 | Is it possible, moreover, to judge this method of travel by our standard of ideas in the West? |
38319 | Is she alone? |
38319 | Is there any calm for you in the sea until you put it there? |
38319 | It showed then no more favour to us than to these dwellers in towns, and yet was it not more to us? |
38319 | It was a laconic method, essentially Turkish, of saying"How?" |
38319 | Look, it is there; do you see, did you hear? |
38319 | Mesdemoiselles, did I not implore you for the love of God to respect the secrecy? |
38319 | No Turkish? |
38319 | Now and then he would reach out one to me.--"Will you smoke, Effendi?" |
38319 | One only asks,"Why have made the plan?" |
38319 | Our friend had sent down sheets for our beds, which were being constructed on the divans; would he show them where they were meant to go? |
38319 | Surely they are not going to take us all at once? |
38319 | That was what you said, was n''t it, Padishah?" |
38319 | The dead had been stirred up, even the chief ones of earth, to greet him as he entered hell:"Art thou also become weak as we? |
38319 | The great doctor in London, has he not said,''You shall sleep in the tent every night''?" |
38319 | The ladies are sisters, then? |
38319 | The lady''s father, is he a great Pasha? |
38319 | The other lady(_ nodding at me_), is she a servant that she does not speak? |
38319 | There was nothing one could take hold of; no cloud in the sky of which to ask the question"Whither? |
38319 | They surely like me better than their other kalekjis?" |
38319 | Turkish was becoming more intelligible to us, and the conversation usually took the same form:--"Who is your father?" |
38319 | Was all this din and bustle going on? |
38319 | Was it going to hurl us too into oblivion? |
38319 | Was it not in such a place as this, alone with the great forces of Nature, that Mahomet formed his conception of God as an Irresistible Power? |
38319 | Was it only the day before that X had said she felt like floating to Eternity and I had maintained that we should be hurled into Oblivion? |
38319 | Was it under such influences as these that Mahomet''s longing, awe- struck soul first heard,"Cry, what shall I cry?" |
38319 | Was there nothing left of our stores? |
38319 | We could speak the language, then?" |
38319 | We might be there for days, and what should we do for food? |
38319 | We were to sleep indoors, but was it not with Government sanction and under Government auspices? |
38319 | Well, only such words as"hot water,""tea,"and"be quick,"and"is my horse ready?" |
38319 | Were we not more conscious of its innumerable gifts; and did we not receive more from it as a result of our greater appreciation? |
38319 | Were we only joking then? |
38319 | What are the Government going to do with us? |
38319 | What are you saying to them?" |
38319 | What casual observer would realise what we had in common? |
38319 | What do they know of you who pull down blinds and light up the gas and dwell in curtained rooms? |
38319 | What hordes of like beings might not be concealed behind these mysterious hillocks? |
38319 | What is she doing there? |
38319 | What is your name?" |
38319 | What justification is there then for writing a book at all? |
38319 | What would you do?" |
38319 | Where are you going? |
38319 | Where did she come from? |
38319 | Where is he? |
38319 | Where were we drifting to? |
38319 | Who are you? |
38319 | Who is your Pasha? |
38319 | Why are they not married? |
38319 | Why not? |
38319 | Why should we resist?" |
38319 | Why this sudden interest in your food?" |
38319 | Why this unnatural dread of truth and simplicity? |
38319 | Wild sons of the desert, product of this eternal silence, are you so much a part of it that you are unconscious of its power? |
38319 | Will it please the ladies to dine with me to- morrow? |
38319 | Will you send my love to his Excellency your father? |
38319 | Would we not reconsider it? |
38319 | You have the best kalekji; do you see I always have the best of the river? |
38319 | You were n''t afraid, were you?" |
38319 | Your father, the great Pasha, has he many sons? |
38319 | _ i.e._,"How are you?" |
38319 | and subsequently gave forth that long blazonry of Nature''s beauty in the Koran? |
38319 | are the ladies not the honoured guests of the Sultan? |
38319 | he called out,"un, deux?" |
38319 | he cries out at one time, and again:"Does there not come in man a portion of time when he is nothing worth mentioning?" |
38319 | he said;"was the Pasha afraid of the waters?" |
38319 | he went on;"is it because you are great Pashas?" |
38319 | how can one associate with them? |
38319 | mademoiselle, what can one do with such people? |
38319 | shouted X to Hassan through the felt wall,"why have n''t we started?" |
38319 | they said;"why do you not send for him?" |
38319 | was there no way of making yourself heard or felt? |
38319 | what is the use of this Kallabalak?" |
38319 | who is afraid of Ibrahim Pasha? |
38319 | yasdin me? |
38319 | yasdin me? |
38319 | yasdin me?" |
38319 | yasdin me?" |
