I at length lost all patience at the non-arrival of the expected interpreter, and, rising, made a profound salaam to the chief, which was, I saw, accurately imitated by Jack, who was at my side with a comical expression of countenance not indicative of much respect for the great man.
From the translations that you have made for me, and the manner in which you have acted as interpreter for the machinists, I see that you are intelligent. Now that I am blind, I need someone to see for me, to tell me about things I wish to know, and also about things that strike them also.
What did I say to them? What did I say through Madame Beattie?" "We don't know." "Ask Moore." "Mr. Moore doesn't know." "He can ask his interpreter, can't he?" "Andrea? He won't tell." Jeffrey released his knees and lay back against the bench. He gave a hoot of delighted laughter, and Lydia, watching them from the window, thought of Miss Amabel with a wistful envy and wondered how she did it.
Hastings is stated by some evidence to have acted as interpreter in this memorable congress. But Major Calliaud agreed to it without any difficulty. Accordingly, an instrument was drawn, an indenture tripartite prepared by the Persian secretary, securing to the party the reward of this infamous, perfidious, murderous act. First, the Nabob put his own seal to the murder.
"But," continued the Interpreter, "you muss not nottice me frind nowhar. Unerstand?" "Oh yes, I think I do," returned Mark, with an intelligent look. "I suppose he does not wish people to think that he is helping or favouring us?" "That's him! you's got it!" replied the Interpreter, quite pleased apparently with his success in the use of English.
So the pony was tied on the shady side of the shop. Hartigan turned to the half-breed interpreter to ask, "What do you want him shod for?" It was well known that the Indians did not shoe their horses. The half-breed spoke to Red Cloud, who was standing near with his men, talking among themselves.
He could translate Bach and Beethoven, Mendelssohn and Mozart, all the great poet-musicians that are silent now, and must be listened to through an interpreter. All the great people and all the little people came to hear him. A princess fell in love with him. She would have married him. She did everything but ask him to marry her.
But the squat and stubby old sailor stood little show in a foot-race with his gaunt and sinewy adversary. It was undoubtedly Colonel Ward's knowledge of this that now led him to make the race the test of victory instead of depending on an interpreter over the telephone. A little more than a block from the wharf's lane he came up with and passed his adversary.
"Ching leady in five minutes," said the interpreter, running towards the door. "Eh? Why, you are ready," said Smith. "No. Go put on new blue silk flock. Leady dilectly." Ten minutes later we were being rowed ashore, to be landed at the wharf where we met with so unpleasant an attack a short time before.
Hence, it is seriously urged, that if theft, or adultery, or murder, be perpetrated, it must be in accordance with the will of God, and consequently no sin in his sight. “The whole notion of sinning against God,” this book says, “is perfectly puerile.” Now all this vile stuff proceeds on the supposition, that “the event is the best interpreter of the divine intention;” and it rests upon that supposition with just as great security, as does the argument in favour of a limited atonement.
