"I'm not, I'm an honest maan, but I haave a chile dying wi' hunger now it's your life or his, by an' ye'll decide!" "I think yer a liar as well as a thief," the man said, "but if we can prove what ye say I'm yer friend." "Will ye go with me?" "Aye." "D'ye mane it?" "Aye, I do!" "I'll carry th' gun." "Ye may, there's nothin' in it." "There's enough in th' butt t' batther a maan's brains out."
It was on the afternoon of the following day that Joel was to return home; and Hulda, who knew that her brother would come back by the table-lands of the Gousta and along the left bank of the Maan, went to meet him at the ferry across that impetuous stream.
"Jamie," he said as he removed his pipe and looked seriously at my father, "who was that poltroon that discovered tobacco?" Anna informed him. "What'll become ov 'im whin compared wid O'Hare, th' inventor of th' rosemary delection? I ax ye, Jamie, bekase ye're an honest maan." "Heaven knows, Billy."
The customers were given fair warning that at the hour of midnight the bench would be put away until Monday morning. There was nothing theological about the observance. It was a custom, not a code. Anna looked upon it as an over-punctilious notion. More than once she was heard to say: "The Sabbath was made for maan, Jamie, and not maan for th' Sabbath." His answer had brevity and point.
"Ye did, did ye," said Hughie, "but did ye iver hear ov the maan that climbed up over th' clouds wid a hammer in his han' an' clinched it on th' other side?" "No," said the champion. "I'm him!" said Hughie. "I'm bate!" said Jack Rooney, "an' begobs if I wor St. Peether I'd kape ye outside th' gate till ye tuk it out agin!" Anna returned with a blanket rolled up under her arm.
But I will not go lower than thirty diners. The Amir laughed and said nothing; whereupon the Bedouin knew that it was he whom he had met and said, 'O my lord, except thou bring the thirty diners, there is the ass tied ready at the door and here sits Maan. At this, Maan laughed, till he fell backward, and calling his steward, said to him, 'Give him a thousand diners and five hundred and three hundred and two hundred and one hundred and fifty and thirty and leave the ass where he is. So the Bedouin, to his amazement, received two thousand and nine score diners, and may God have mercy on them both!
The Turkish fort up at Akaba had been knocked about a good deal by various ships of the patrol, and the whole place was uninhabited; but we visited it frequently, as drifting mines were put in up there, having been taken off the rail at Maan and brought down to the head of the gulf, in section, by camel.
I said, as I put my mouth to his ear. "I only want to mind that he had three very beautiful daughters!" "Did ye iver spake t' aany o' thim?" Jamie asked. "Yes." "Whin?" "When I sold them papers." "Ha, ha, a ha'penny connection, eh?" "It's betther t' mind three fine things about a maan than wan mean thing, Jamie," Anna said. "If both o' ye's on me I'm bate," he said.
It is told also of Maan ben Zaideh that he went forth one day to the chase with his company, and they came upon a herd of gazelles. So they separated in pursuit of them and Maan was left alone in chase of one of the gazelles. When he had made prize of it, he alighted and slaughtered it; and as he was thus engaged, he espied a man coming towards him on an ass.
Tinoset is situated near the end of Lake Tinn, and here the Maan plunges majestically into the valley below, where it resumes its former course. The horses being already harnessed to the carriage, our friends immediately started in the direction of Bamble.
