The phantom of the next day, with the dreary five to follow, sate as a load upon my poor Sabbath recreations. What charm has washed that Ethiop white? What is gone of Black Monday? All days are the same.
This sounds unchivalrous, but she will please remember that her attorneys insist that this cause be tried solely upon its merits. Brute force does not rule the world. If it did the lion or the elephant would be creation's lord, and the Ethiop and the red Indian drive the Caucasian into the waste places of the earth or reduce him to slavery.
Peleus and Kadmos are counted of that company; and the mother of Achilles, when her prayer had moved the heart of Zeus, bare thither her son, even him who overthrew Hector, Troy's unbending invincible pillar, even him who gave Kyknos to death and the Ethiop son of the Morning.
It is better to die with honour by the teeth of a lion, than with dishonour beneath the whip of a master. So at least we think in Ethiopia." "Well spoken, dwarf Bes!" exclaimed the King. "So would I have all men think throughout the East. Let the words of this Ethiop be written down and copies of them sent to the satraps of all the provinces that they may be read to the peoples of the earth.
"Tonight, before my Ethiop friends eat you, I shall tell you what has already befallen your wife and child, and what further plans I have for their futures." The Dance of Death Through the luxuriant, tangled vegetation of the Stygian jungle night a great lithe body made its way sinuously and in utter silence upon its soft padded feet.
The ill-starred gentlewoman whose passion for the magnificent prompted her to adorn her floating bower thus luxuriously, and who, like Cleopatra, was attended on her barge by Ethiop slaves, had not relinquished her faith in Burr's dream of conquest and empire.

"Halt dar! Countersign not correck," was the only answer. The bayonet still maintained a position which, in a military point of view, was impressive.
Such in vague and general outline is the strange story of the valley of the Nile of Egypt, the motherland of human culture and "That starr'd Ethiop Queen that strove To set her beauty's praise above The sea nymphs." Cf. Maciver and Thompson: Ancient Races of the Thebaid. Journal of Race Development, I, 484. Petrie: History of Egypt, I, 51, 237. From West Africa to Palestine, p. 114.
Sesostris again fawned his gratitude, and Agias, with quickened wits and eyes alert, toiled up the dark stairway, and found himself at the top of the building. He had "entered the enemy's country." The Ethiop might not have been open to bribes, but he might be unlocked through friendship, and Agias never needed all his senses more than now.
"What shall I do?" said the girl to the Ethiop in a very audible whisper. "Sing," interrupted Agias. "Let me hear the rest of the Theocritus." "I don't like to sing those songs," objected Artemisia. "Pratinas makes me, I don't know why." "Well," said Agias, smiling, "I wouldn't for the-world make you sing against your will. Suppose you tell me about yourself.
