He grows wheat and cotton, and appeared to be quite intelligent as well as prosperous, although he wore nothing save a turban and an abbreviated lower garment not quite stretching from his loins to his knees, the rest of his body being entirely naked. "And how much is paid per day when a single day's labor is wanted?" I asked. "Two annas and bread," was the reply.
At others, directed by an evil fate, they crashed into groups of Jews, destroying all they touched. Wandering to and fro among these people was that crazed man Jesus, the son of Annas, who had met them with his wild prophetic cry as they entered into Jerusalem, and whose ill-omened voice Miriam had heard again before Marcus was taken at the fight in the Old Tower.
Can I do anything?" "Certainly. You can be as good as you know how to be." "But that won't make other people better." "I do not know that. Some other people it may." "But that will be the people who are good already. I want to mend the people who are bad." "Then pray for them," said Annas, gravely. Pray for Cecilia Osborne! It came upon me with a feeling of intense aversion.
The priests and people shouted, "Away with him to Golgotha! Long live the synagogue! Long live the nation!" Then said Annas, "Hasten, that we may come home in time to eat the Passover." The priests and Pharisees said, "We will keep this Passover with joy, as did our fathers in Egypt." "Now," said Caiaphas, "let our triumphal procession go through the midst of Jerusalem."
"Go you, Hunsa," Ajeet commanded, "into this depraved village and summon the patil to come forth and pay to the sainted yogi the usual gift of one rupee four annas, and make his salaams. Also he is to provide fowl and fruits for us who are on this sacred mission. He may be a son of swine, such as the lord of a village is, so speak, Jamadar, of the swords the Raja's guards carry.
Annas said it had been the Abbots grange belonging to the old Abbey which gives its name to Abbotscliff and Monksburn, and several other estates and villages in the neighbourhood. Here we found Lady Monksburn in the drawing-room, busied with some soft kind of embroidered work; and I thought I could have guessed her to be the mother of Mr Keith.
"Annas," said I, "I wish you would tell me what right is. I do get so puzzled." "What puzzles you, Cary? Right is what God wills." "But would the Prince not have the right, if God did not will him to succeed?" "The Lawgiver can always repeal His own laws. We in the crowd, Cary, can only judge when they be repealed by hearing Him decree something contrary to them.
Theoretically, the Government should have paid for every shoe and iinchpin, for every hand employed in the loading; but Government vouchers cash themselves slowly, and intelligent and efficient clerks write at great length, contesting unauthorised expenditures of eight annas. The man who wants to make his work a success must draw on his own bank-account of money or other things as he goes.
I felt that I must just speak first to my Aunt Dorothea; and she did shake hands with Flora and me, and courtesied to Annas. Then we courtesied to the company, and left the room, I telling the big man that Grandmamma wished Perkins to attend us. The big man looked over the banisters, and said, "Harry, call Perkins."
Consider the Dispensation of Jesus Christ. Behold, how all the learned men of that generation, though eagerly anticipating the coming of the Promised One, have nevertheless denied Him. Both Annas, the most learned among the divines of His day, and Caiaphas, the high priest, denounced Him and pronounced the sentence of His death.
