His legendary lore instructed him that where there was a hiding-place there was always a hidden spring, and he pried and pressed and fumbled in an eager search for the sensitive spot.
The part played by them in the conservation of the Persian literary tradition 30 The different varieties of this tradition; scientific, epico-historic, legendary and ethico-didactic 32 We have demonstrated above that in the time subsequent to the Arab conquest Iranian tradition found a congenial asylum in the bosom of the Parsi priesthood.
But we vainly hunt through the Newcastle MSS., and the State Papers, Domestic, in the Record Office, for a trace of the examination of Saint-Germain. I am not aware that he was anywhere left his trail in official documents; he lives in more or less legendary memoirs, alone.

This the rebels did during the last battles. The rebels showed great generalship. Jackson is already the legendary hero, and deserves to be.
It receives nothing, it will produce nothing; but there is no reason why it should get out of order if it is not deteriorated by external agents.
