19378	''What is your opinion?''
19378	''What is your will?''
19378	''What knife?
19378	''What like was this said cabman?''
19378	''What makes the cook like that, devoid of reverence?''
19378	''What on earth did he do that for?''
19378	''What right have they to charge me money for the water of this natural spring, which is the gift of God?
19378	''What things?''
19378	''What was his name?''
19378	''Whatever did he do with them?''
19378	''Whatever for?''
19378	''When thou seest Hasan, son of Ali, nicely mounted, wilt thou not think he is the better man?''
19378	''Where are the clothes?''
19378	''Where is your camp?''
19378	''Where?''
19378	''Who is their chief?''
19378	''Who talks of selling justice?
19378	''Whose is that savage beast?''
19378	''Why did you not tell me this before?''
19378	''Why do the Franks object to killing wicked people?''
19378	''Why do they nourish good and bad in their society?''
19378	''Why have you kept me waiting all this while?
19378	''Why need he seem a Christian?''
19378	''Why not?''
19378	''Why should I kill a man who offered me no violence?''
19378	''Why should I shoot a man for such a trifle?''
19378	''Why should he go to prison?
19378	''Why should you not do so, when the man is evidently wicked?''
19378	''You do n''t mean that you gave them to the Caïmmacâm?''
19378	''You like to give a trifle to the brisoners?''
19378	''You say that you have kept him in strict order?
19378	''Your Excellency has been robbed,''he murmured in a secret tone,''and you would know the robber?
19378	''Your Honour is an Englishman?''
19378	''Your Honour thinks of settling here among us?''
19378	''Your Honour understands?
19378	''_ I_ call thee thief?
19378	A Turk, or one of us?''
19378	A voice out of the shadows questioned:''Is it thou, the Englishman?''
19378	Am I to bear this shame for evermore?''
19378	And then:''You are a Brûtestant?''
19378	And thou, hast thou a passport for that fine revolver?
19378	Any more questions?
19378	Are you English?''
19378	But his manners----''''What know they of his manners?
19378	But how could we fulfil it?
19378	But what am I to do?
19378	But what was I to say?
19378	But, suddenly, he whispered once again:''O my dear lord, forgive me the disturbance, but hast thou our revolver safe?''
19378	CHAPTER III THE RHINOCEROS WHIP''Where is the whip?''
19378	CHAPTER VI NAWÂDIR(_ continued_)''What happened to the man who went to seek one filthier than she was?
19378	CHAPTER XXIII CONCERNING BRIBES''Why did you want those four mejîdis?''
19378	Did not I know how it would be?
19378	Does not your Honour also think my horse the best?''
19378	Dost thou understand?''
19378	Even supposing what you say is true, are you certain that nothing in your appearance, conversation, or behaviour gave him cause for anger?
19378	Has he ever entered the saloon or bed- tent to defile them?
19378	Has he ever spoken insult in their hearing?
19378	Having captured their attention by this solemn adjuration, he inquired:''Who is the chief among you?
19378	He laughed as he exclaimed:''Ripe grapes, thou sayest?
19378	He shouted:''Is it tigers you desire?
19378	How came the dreadful malady upon him?''
19378	How can he be the same as one like thee who laughs and talks?''
19378	How could he ever find one filthier?''
19378	How many of you are there, then?''
19378	How, I ask?
19378	I heard the woman whisper:''Shall I bring it?''
19378	I think you are an English gentleman?''
19378	If my soul is sick, I ask the doctor:"How many kîrâts of hope?"
19378	Is it your Honour''s will that I should beat a few of them?''
19378	Is that necessary?''
19378	Is there then a guild of thieves?''
19378	Is your heart set upon the purchase of that land?''
19378	It said:''Why mention such a trifling detail?
19378	It was after that revolting episode, when I was really angry for a moment, that Rashîd came to me and said:''You hate this hypocrite; is it not so?''
19378	Must we then part from our beloved, from our souls''companion?
19378	My prayer is always that I may survive my lady, for how could she, poor creature, fare alone?
19378	No more than that,''I cried,''for killing men?''
19378	Say, O my father, is there not a strong resemblance?''
19378	Say, can you of your own experience of children of the Arabs say that one of us has ever robbed you of a small para, or wronged you seriously?''
19378	Say, what became of him thereafter, O narrator?''
19378	The screams were so disturbing, so indecent, that several of the great ones round me frowned and asked:''Whose horse is that?''
19378	Then the Cadi asked:''"Why, pray, did you attack my servant in that savage way?"
19378	There was a postscript:--''Why not go and see the judge?''
19378	They asked:''What means this portent of the hanging dog?''
19378	Thou hast heard about it?
19378	Thou thinkest me a thief, a lawbreaker, because I took that fellow''s knife?''
19378	Tigers?
19378	Was it a sign of war, or some enchantment?
19378	Was it not like depriving life of all its sweetness thus to destroy their youth''s companions and their nearest kin?
19378	What allegations did he make?
19378	What creature of the sons of Adam can condemn them quite?''
19378	What is to be done with you?''
19378	What say you?''
19378	What wealth can ever compensate him for the haunting fear that on the Last Day he may rise inextricably mingled with thy worthy grandfather?
19378	What would my Arab friends, censorious in all such matters, think of that?
19378	What would you have, mon ami?
19378	What wouldst thou have done?''
19378	What?
19378	Who ever heard of such a thing in this wild region?
19378	Who is he?''
19378	Who knows their lurking- places?
19378	Who, under Allah, could feel love for such a man?''
19378	Why did I not do so?
19378	Why does the Orthodox Church forbid it?
19378	Why not, indeed?
19378	Will that make the English laugh?''
19378	Will you allow him to be tethered in some other place?''
19378	Will you be good enough to go and ask?''
19378	Would I be so kind as to excuse a makeshift?
19378	Would that be punishment enough in my opinion?
19378	Would you really care to hear it?''
19378	You do n''t mean that?''
19378	You see that eminence?''
19378	You see that pear tree?
19378	he made moan,''What can I do?
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?"
