An' he bought the Slater place, an' there's ten acres of vineyard, an' Barden, he's the real 'state agent over t' Elsmore, you know 'im, he told my fawther they wuz all raisin-grapes, white muscat, didn't he, pappy? an' my fawther here paid cash down fer the place, an' the vineyard's comin' into bearin' next fall, an' Parker Lowe, he has a gov'ment claim on section eighteen, back of our ranch, -maybe you know 'im, he says they're every one mission grapes fer makin' wine.
They need to learn everything, and even their language is of little use to them, as they need to learn Arabic before they can get along in Arabia. The Muscat boys first learned English from the missionary, but it was not easy for them. They only knew a few words when I first went to Muscat. For instance, they called all lights, such as lamps, candles, etc., fire.
"There are no coal stations except at Aden and Perim, so far as I know, unless you run up to Muscat, and I am not sure that there is any there," answered the captain of the ship. "I learned from Mr. Gaskill, the Parsee agent here, after I told him who and what we were, that he had heard of us before. Stories exaggerated beyond all decent limits have been told about us.
Missionaries have been well received there by the enlightened ruler a member of the Kaaiti house with the local title of Jemadar, inherited from an ancestor who soldiered in the Arab bodyguard of a former Nizam at Haiderabad. The interior is not suited to missionary enterprise. Muscat, the capital of Oman, has already been occupied by missionaries.
It is worth one-quarter of an anna; there are sixteen annas in a rupee, and a rupee is worth about thirty-three cents. Not a big value, is it? But for four of these coins the poorest boy in Muscat can buy a complete gospel of Matthew.
England's power in checking the cruel slave trade and rooting out piracy on the coasts of Arabia has made its influence felt. An English primer is sure to follow a penny with an English motto, and some day our mission will have a school at Muscat for Arab boys and girls, as well as for rescued slaves. Your American pennies and your prayers will help to bring it about.
Do you mean that the forty lines which you construed in Virgil were in a part you had not before learned? I despair of getting genuine Tent wine in this city. There never was a bottle of real unadulterated Tent imported here for sale. Mr. Jefferson, who had some for his own use, has left town. Good Burgundy and Muscat, mixed in equal parts, make a better Tent than can be bought.
"I have as good an appetite as anyone," she replied, "and an excellent digestion. You shall see for yourself when I grow more accustomed to my sudden happiness." "At least you can drink; this wine is admirable. If you prefer Greek muscat I will send for some. It will remind you of your lover." "If you love me at all, I beg you will spare me that mortification."
TENNIS PALE, a Frenchman, out of these four, made eight sorts of excellent wine; and says of the Muscat, after it had been long boiled, that the second draught will intoxicate after four months old; and that here may be gathered and made two hundred tuns in the vintage months, and that the vines with good cultivation will mend."
I had not the least thought of it when I spoke to you of my affairs, and I now regret having troubled you with them." The two friends walked on in silence side by side, but were impatient to part as soon as they could decorously. When they had nearly reached the place where their homeward paths would separate, the professor repeated his invitation. "Won't you come and taste my muscat?"
