No one knows much about Ali, for he came here just recently. Anyhow, he and Phut didn't get along very well it seems. "Neighbors often heard 'em scrappin' a lot, and this afternoon they went at it again hot and heavy. Then things quieted down, and nobody heard anything more. Toward dark a man went in to buy a lamp.
This Phut was wonderfully wise and self-confident; so the chief of the caravan examined his effects in secret, and found nothing save a medal of the goddess Astaroth. This medal pricked the heart of the leader of the caravan: 'How could a Hittite have a Phoenician medal? "So when they came to Sidon he reported straightway to the elders, and thenceforth our secret police kept this Phut in view.
Said it was an ancient timepiece, which he had owned for many years, and as it could have no connection with the crime they let him take it." "Oh, well, I suppose that was all right. No, Singa Phut didn't have a thing to do with the killing, I'm positive of that." "And his alibi is perfect," said the colonel. "Well, I guess you've told me all I want to know.
On the wood-pile the guinea cock clattered incessantly: "Phut rack! Phut rack!" Across the dooryard came the old turkey-gobbler with fan tail and a rasping scrape of wing, evincing his delight in spring and mating time by a series of explosive snorts. On the barnyard gate the old Shanghai was lustily challenging to mortal combat one of his kind three miles across country.
"He asked me," continued the host, "that master of ten policemen asked, 'What sort of man is that black one who sits two hours over a handful of dates? I replied: 'A very honorable man, the lord Phut. 'Whence comes he? 'From the country of the Hittites, from the city of Harran; he has a good house there of three stories, and much land. 'Why has he come hither? 'He has come, I replied, 'to receive five talents from a certain priest, talents lent by his father.
Here a primitive Babylonian kingdom is assigned to a people distinctly said to have been Cushite by blood, and to have stood in close connection with Mizraim, or the people of Egypt, Phut, or those of Central Africa, and Canaan, or those of Palestine.
"A couple of months ago, in Asarhadon's inn, lodged a certain Phut from the city of Harran." "He had to receive five talents from some priest," interrupted Dagon. "What further?" asked Hiram. "Nothing. He found favor with a certain priestess, and at her advice went to seek his debtor in Thebes." "Thou hast the mind of a child and the talkativeness of a woman," said Hiram.
It is clear to any merchant that if Phut is to collect five talents from a priest he must win favors from all who go around in the sanctuaries. But Thou hast no understanding." "My heart tells me that this must be an Assyrian ambassador watching to destroy his holiness." Kush looked with contempt on Asarhadon. "Watch him, then; follow every step of his.
I mentioned this, because I do not think that they proceeded much farther: most of the nations to the south being, as I imagine, of the race of Phut. This opinion however was refuted by the celebrated Captain Cooke, who shewed that the traject between the continents of Asia and America, was as short as some, which people in as rude a state have been actually known to pass.
I can tell you how she dance down the meadows in the ring-a-rosy play and how she " "Phut! Your tongue is as long as your rake and it goes reaching down into other folks' affairs, old Etienne! What cares this strange gentleman for what happened in Tadousac? Go use your key instead of your tongue. Unlock your little door so that Rosemarie may walk on the cool grass beside the canal."
