"I always wanted to get leave, you know. So did Buck. Orry seems to have got in ahead on the leave business." He grinned at Erwin, but Andra put in with: "Well, we're all on leave only, aren't we, Mr. Erwin?" "You gir you ladies, too?" essayed Bangs, while Erwin nodded. "Why, yes. We're enlisted in the Red Cross, you know, and they're so strict about letting us off. But we, too, got our ten days.
In the sixth year of his reign Jehan Gir married the beautiful Nur Jehan, by whose influence the emperor's natural brutality was greatly modified in practice. His son, Prince Khurram, later known as Shah Jehan, distinguished himself in war with the Rajputs, displaying a character not unworthy of his grandfather.
He was not bleeding freely, and seemed more weak than in pain. "I am a dead man," he said in a whisper I had to kneel down to hear him "a dead man who has got his deserts.

The most difficult point to explain in Ptolemy's central Africa is the river Gir, which he describes as equal in length to the Niger, and running in the same direction, till it loses itself in the same lake. What this river is, geographers have not agreed. It is mentioned by Claudian, as resembling the Nile in the abundance of its waters.
