"I wouldn't marry yo' if ye wuz the last nubbin' in the Lord A'mighty's crib, and thar'd never be another crap o' men.
One answers to another from cottage to cottage; the storks are screaming somewhere on high. The Ulan feels well and bright. Some one had spoken of a battle to-morrow. Hei! that will go on, like all the others, with shouting, with fluttering of flaglets. The young blood is playing like a trumpet, though the night cools it. But it is dawning.
Mago disappeared like magic, but in an instant a din was rising from the front of the house, cries, blows, clash of steel. Into the peristylium, where the angry young master was standing, rushed the old slave woman, Laïs. "Hei! hei!" she screamed, "they are breaking in! Monsters! a hundred of them! They will kill us all!" Drusus grew calm in an instant.
Pi-Bast seemed from edge to edge to be one hall filled with music, singing, laughter, and the sound of goblets.

Like ghostly vessels they passed on, until at last they could hear the stir and murmur of life along the banks of the stream. Boom! boom! boom! Through the mist the guns of the city were pouring shot and shell out into Ali Wad Hei's camp, and Ali Wad Hei laughed contemptuously.
"You did with all save this man, who got away," was his unflinching answer. "Although in mercy you strangled all your captors before you had them put on the crosses." "Hei!" quoth the Imperator. "I should have spared them to give me criticism of those verses now."
