Elsewhere Mirza Jani speaks of the 'troubles of Badasht, at which the gallant Riẓa Khan performed 'most valuable services. Nothing is said, however, of the part taken in the quieting of these troubles either by the 'Gate's Gate' or by Ḳuddus. The place of most interest in this exciting episode is the fortified tomb of Sheykh Tabarsi, twelve or fourteen miles south of Barfurush.

After many bouts a compromise was reached and an armistice declared between the belligerent powers until Dic should return from New York. This armistice was virtually a surrender of the Bays forces, so that evening when Dic started home Rita accompanied him to the gate beneath the dark shadow of a drooping elm, and the gate's the place for "a' that and a' that."

Going down I spent reading of the "Five Sermons of Five Several Styles," worth comparing one with another: but I do think, when all is done, that, contrary to the design of the book, the Presbyterian style and the Independent are the best of the five sermons to be preached in; this I do, by the best of my present judgment think, and coming back I spent reading of a book of warrants of our office in the first Dutch war, and do find that my letters and warrants and method will be found another gate's business than this that the world so much adores, and I am glad for my own sake to find it so.

"There's a road midway between here and the river and a private road leading off," said Beale; "the gate, I presume, is hidden somewhere in those bushes." He raised a pair of field-glasses and focused them. "Yes, the gate's there," he said. "Do you see that man?" Homo took the glasses and looked.

The scenery was grand, and for the artist no doubt full of attractions; but for Europeans, driven like cattle by semi-barbarians, the precipitous descents and steep acclivities had certainly no charms. Another couple of hours' march brought us to the gate's of Begemder.

The gate's shut behind him." "Let us go now," I begged. "No, no, not yet!" cried Lisa. "I must know what happens next. We are in the midst of it, indeed." I hardly cared what she did, now. Ivor had come to see Maxine de Renzie, and nothing else mattered very much. I had no strength to insist that we should go. "I wonder what the man in the shadow would do if he saw us?" Lisa said.

If the former were admitted, the number of Bābīs must have been considerable, for the 'Gate's Gate' is said to have gathered a band of 230 men, and Ḳuddus a band of 300, many of them men of wealth and position, and yet ready to give the supreme proof of their absolute sincerity.

But the others knew, I could see by their faces, that not even this was the foremost thing in my mind. "Noises? ou ay, there'll be noises, the wind in the trees, and the water soughing down the glen. As for tramps, Cornel, no, there's little o' that kind o' cattle about here; and Merran at the gate's a careful body." Jarvis moved about with some embarrassment from one leg to another as he spoke.

Elizabeth rapped sharply on the window, and the shutter was opened, but, all being dark inside, she could not see by whom. "Prithee, let me through the gate. I've a message of import for Master Ewring, at the mill." "Gate's shut," said the gruff voice of the gatekeeper. "Can't let any through while morning." "Darnell, you'll let me through!" pleaded Elizabeth.

Through this gate an' mind 'ow you leave 'er, f'r the wire hinclines to slip hover. Then straight along 'ere, through the pine-ridge, f'm hend to hend. You're hon the Nalrookar track, mind, t' wot time you see a gate hin the fence as you're a-kerryin' hon yer right shoulder. Gate's sebm mile f'm 'ere.
