Bruce did not expect to find any one there. What he wanted was to arm himself and to examine the boulder. Meantime, Ahmed returned with the truant elephant to find nothing but disorder and evidence of a struggle. A tent was overturned, the long grass trampled, and the colonel's sola-topee hat lay crumpled near Kathlyn's tent. "Ai, ai!" he wailed.
Who first to hear the wondrous news but his Princess? That there was a vacancy in Hickney Heath he knew, as all Great Britain knew; for Ponting, the Radical Member, had died suddenly the day before. But it had never entered his head that he could be chosen as a candidate. "Mais j'y ai bien pense, moi," came the voice through the telephone.
Now redden, ye roses, in your sorrow, and now wax red, ye wind-flowers; now, thou hyacinth, whisper the letters on thee graven, and add a deeper ai ai to thy petals: he is dead, the beautiful singer.... Ye nightingales that lament among the thick leaves of the trees, tell ye to the Sicilian waters of Arethusa the tidings that Bion the herdsman is dead.... Thy sudden doom, O Bion, Apollo himself lamented, and the Satyrs mourned thee, and the Priapi in sable raiment, and the Panes sorrow for thy song, and the Fountain-fairies in the wood made moan, and their tears turned to rivers of waters.
You and I are not going to mix well, and you may as well know it from the start. As for this 'guest' business, just what do you mean?" Escobar shrugged elaborately and half veiled his insolent eyes with the long lashes. "You mean," went on Kendric stubbornly, "your 'Queen Lady' as you call her, has instructed her rabble to bring us in, willy-nilly?" "Ai!" cried Escobar in mock surprise.
It appears, moreover, that a record of these families, of the households in each, and even of the individuals belonging to every household, was placed in the hands of the chief ruler; for it is related that, on the suspicion excited with regard to the spoils of Jericho and the discomfiture at Ai, "Joshua brought Israel by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken; and he brought the family of Judah, and he took the family of the Zarhites; and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man, and Zabdi was taken; and he brought his household man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken."
"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." "They have heard that it hath been said, an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth." "For Joshua drew not his hand back, wherewith he stretched out the spear, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai " Thus far the words of Meek were intelligible to those who remained, but distance soon confounded the syllables.
But the Gibeonites, who inhabited very near to Jerusalem, when they saw what miseries had happened to the inhabitants of Jericho; and to those of Ai, and suspected that the like sore calamity would come as far as themselves, they did not think fit to ask for mercy of Joshua; for they supposed they should find little mercy from him, who made war that he might entirely destroy the nation of the Canaanites; but they invited the people of Cephirah and Kiriathjearim, who were their neighbors, to join in league with them; and told them that neither could they themselves avoid the danger they were all in, if the Israelites should prevent them, and seize upon them: so when they had persuaded them, they resolved to endeavor to escape the forces of the Israelites.
Suppose our excellent friend has invented him up in London, and brings him down with his character for wealth to prey upon the innocent folks here?" "J'y ai souvent pense, milor," says the little Baron, placing his finger to his nose very knowingly, "that Baroness is capable of anything." "A Baron a Baroness, que voulez-vous, my friend? I mean the late lamented husband. Do you know who he was?"
“All? You stand with folded hands!” “All—for I am thinking.” “Thinking—oh, make actions of your thoughts!” “I will.” “When?” “When the god opens the way. Just now the way is fast closed.” “Ai! woe—and it is already far into the evening, and Hellas is lost.” Themistocles laughed almost lightly. “No, my friend. Hellas will not be lost until to-morrow morning, and much can happen in a night.
J'en ai le coeur tout emu!" When she was gone, my professor demanded of me why I suffered "cette fille effrontee, cette creature sans pudeur," to address me in such terms. I had no pacifying answer to give. The terms were precisely such as Rosine a young lady in whose skull the organs of reverence and reserve were not largely developed was in the constant habit of using.
