Then, as Ibrahim mounted and marshaled his party in front of him, he forgot manners as well as the liberal payment. "Mashallah!" "Now I go to make Armenians pay for this! Let the shapkali,* too, avoid me! Ya Ali, ya Mahoma, Alahu!" * Shapkali hatted man-foreigner. "Let's hope they haven't a spark of honesty!" said Monty cryptically, watching them canter away. "Why on earth ?"
Mashallah! it has been a great day; it will be talked of long in our tribe, how, with but twenty men, and many of these not at their best, we withstood forty dervishes, and so beat them that when a reinforcement of eight men came to us we destroyed them altogether." "Four may have got away," Edgar said; "they must have left their horses in the direction in which they fled.
"The wisdom of your highness is brighter than the stars of heaven," observed Mustapha. "Shall the slave be honoured with your bounty?" "Mashallah! bounty! I've given him his life, and, as he considers it of more value than an aga's, I think 'tis a very handsome present. Drown an aga, indeed!" continued the pacha, rising, "but it certainly was a very curious story. Let it be written down, Mustapha.
"No," Grim answered, smiling. "By that they would recognize you as a ruler, which they will not do until they surely know you rule." "Mashallah! How shall men know that I am a ruler unless I make war and enforce my will?" "Have I made war on you?" asked Grim. "Have I disarmed you, or killed one man? Yet I enforce my will, as you shall see."

Laws cannot be made for all; they must therefore be made for the control of the majority Is it not so? Who are the majority? Why the poor. If laws were made for the rich and powerful, such laws would not suit the community at large. Mashallah! there are no laws for pachas, who have only to believe that there is one God and Mahomet is his prophet. Does your slave say well?"
"Mashallah! but he swims well," said the pacha, breaking up the audience. Menouni was well content to remain, as the liberality of the pacha was not to be fallen in with every day, and the next evening he was again ushered into the sublime presence. "Khosh amedeid! you are welcome," said the pacha, as Menouni made his low obeisance. "Now let us have another story.
After I had been there about six months I was tired; and as there was only twenty thousand miles between that country and my own, I determined to swim back. "Mashallah! swim back how many thousand miles?" exclaimed Mustapha. "Only twenty thousand a mere nothing." So one fine morning I throws a young kangaroo on my shoulder, and off I starts.
Finally, all the guests having arrived, I ride several times around the brick-walks, the strange audience of turbaned priests and veiled women showing their great approval in murmuring undertones of "kylie khoob" and involuntary acclamations of "Mashallah! mash-all-ah!" as they witness with bated breath the strange and incomprehensible scene of a Ferenghi riding a vehicle, that will not stand alone.
Gradually, gradually the spectacle rose on their view fuller and fuller, not the ruddy wings of the Algerine or Italian, but the square white castle-like tiers of sails rising one above another, bearing along in a south-easterly direction. 'English or French, said Tam, with a long breath, for her colours and build were not yet discernible. 'Mashallah! I beg pardon.
"Bismillah, mashallah, barikallah," said I; which means, "My good friend, what I have seen is not worth the trouble of relation, and fills my bosom with the darkest forebodings." "You could not then see the Gujputi alone, and stab him with your dagger?" Mashallah! I am told the soldiers who first get in are to have their pick.
