"That is plain enough," said Nick sturdily "but if you mean to say that the answer to the problem I gave you is fifty per cent., you are wrong." "Oxplains how dot ain't," said Mr. Ribsam, suddenly becoming serious. The mother was also interested, and looked smilingly toward her bright son.
Three centuries had passed since the Sultans of the race of Hafs had established their authority on the old Carthaginian site, upon the breaking up of the African empire of the Almohades.
The port of Tunis offered all that a Corsair could wish. The Goletta in those days was but slightly fortified, and the principal building, besides the castle, was the custom-house, where the wealth of many nations was taxed by the Sultan of the House of Hafs. The very sight of such an institution was stimulating to a pirate.

Maziyar, son of Qaren, and grandson of Vindad-Hurmizd was at first defeated by Shahryar the son of Shervin of the Bavend dynasty and took refuge with the Khalif Mamun in 816-17, and returned after the victory over Musa Ibn Hafs in 825 but was himself worsened by the Arabs in 839 and executed.
"Nein; I don't valks, miss; ven I ish god dings to pring abbles or botatoes or some dings else I say to mine Shakey, 'Just hitch de harness on de horse and hang him to de stable door; or if I got nodings to pring I tells de poy, 'Hitch him up a horseback; den I comes in to mine vork and I tash!

It's yer powers o' prophecy as amazes me `an' The other hafs no beter' a deal wus, Susan, if ye only know'd it. Ah! my sweet gal, if ye knew wot a grief that word `beter' wos to me before I diskivered wot it wos, ye'd try to improve yer hand o' write, an' make fewer blots!" At this point Jo was arrested by the sound of footsteps behind him.
Twenty-one rulers of their line had succeeded one another, till the vigour of the Benī Hafs was sapped, and fraternal jealousies added bloodshed to weakness. Hasan, the twenty-second, stepped to the throne over the bodies of forty-four slaughtered brothers, and when he had thus secured his place he set a pattern of vicious feebleness for all sovereigns to avoid.
