In the days of Augustus Pan was a boorish anachronism; it was left to medieval Christianity to create a god who was in fact a shepherd of men and so to render possible a pastoral allegory that should embody the dearest hopes and aspirations of the human heart. That Christian pastoralists availed themselves successfully of the possibilities of the theme it would be difficult to maintain.
Answer, ye pastoralists! Stevenson had just drafted and paid for his batch, when Barefooted Bob stalked up, bearing an unmistakable scowl on his frank face, and a saddle on his shoulder. "Did you receive my message last night, Bob?" demanded Smythe. "Well," drawled Bob, "I couldn't say whether it was las' night or this mornin' but I got your message right enough." "And why didn't you turn-up?"
The Slavs were a people who tilled the soil, cherished free institutions, fought on foot, were gentle in character. The Bulgars were nomads and pastoralists, obeying despotic chiefs, fighting as cavalry. They came as conquerors, but in time were absorbed in the more stable Slavonic type.

When handing it to me, Riley said, "Now, I give you two hours to consult your partner, and give me your decision."

"Certainly," answered Strong. "Straight talk never offends me." "Then how do I know you have tried to do fairly?" enquired Ned. "Our experience with the pastoralists leads us to think the opposite." "There have been rabid pastoralists," admitted Strong, after a moment's thought, "just as there have been rabid men on the other side.
