De'il tak' ye, ye lang-leggit, lazy loun, flichterin' roun' wi' yir 'Gude evenin' sir! an' a' sic' clishmaclaver. Awa' wi ye! dinna come fleechin' tae me!

"Gude save's!"
The general conversation was becoming more and more noisy, and the laughter more and more boisterous, several of the young men were now very much the worse for their frequent libations, and Nir- jalis, particularly, began again to show marked symptoms of an inclination to break loose from all the bonds of prudent reserve.
He therefore, sorely against his will, and only for Sah-luma's sake, kept silence, watching Nir- jalis meanwhile in a sort of horrible fascination.
He loves me, and I weary of his love, . . I would have him dead dead as Nir- jalis! ... but were he to drain the Silver Nectar, the whole city would cry out upon me for his loss, therefore he may not perish so.
Sah-luma took what was evidently his accustomed post at her right hand, while Theos found a vacant corner on her left, next to the picturesque, lounging figure of the young man Nir jahs, who looked up at him with a half smile as he seated himself, and courteously made more room for him among the tumbled emerald silk diapers of the luxurious divan, they now shared together.
Nergal, the planet Mars, whose name was continued to a late date, under the form of Nerig in the astronomical system of the Mendaeans, is a god whose character and attributes are tolerably clear and definite. His name is evidently compounded of the two Hamitic roots nir, "a man," and gala, "great;" so that he is "the great man," or "the great hero."
The impassive, cold-blooded calmness with which all the men present, even Sah-luma, looked on at the revolting spectacle of their late comrade's torture, filled Theos with shuddering abhorrence, ... sick at heart, he strove to turn away his eyes from the straining throat and upturned face of the miserable Nir- jalis, a face that had a moment or two before been beautiful, but was now so disfigured as to be almost beyond recognition.
"An' here's now in New York, that's got to be so wicked honest folks can't live in it, a lot o' crazy men talking about building one of these here steamboats big enough to cross the Atlantic." "Der won't be much heerd of de mans nir de vomans vat goes in um," interrupted Hanz. "Peoples is not sho crazy as t'too any un de sort. 'Tis all hombug;" joined the doctor.
"I can imagine your feelings; but M'Murdo didn't think of you being here when he spoke." "The de'il haet A care fir Collins, ony mair nir A dae fir yir ain sel', Nelson!" replied Mac defiantly. "Od! air ye no din greetin' the yet, lassie?" he continued, turning to Ida. "No anither pegh oot o' yir heed, ir bagode A'll tak' ye in han'."
Nir jahs was by no means sober, but he had recovered a little of his self-possession since Lysia's sleepy eyes had darted such cold contempt upon him, and he seemed for the present to be on his guard against giving any further possible cause of offence. "Thou art a new comer, a stranger, if I mistake not?" he inquired in a low, abrupt, yet kindly tone.
