Then she added aloud: "I need not beg you to remember me lovingly; thanks to you both the warmest, deepest thanks for all.... You, Pul. . . ." And she clasped the mother and daughter to her bosom, while Mary, clinging to her, hid her little face in her skirts, weeping bitterly. . . . "You, Dame Joanna, took me in, a forlorn creature, and made me happy till Fate fell on us all you know, ah! you know too well.
When Pul, or Tiglath-pileser, seized the throne of Nineveh, he pushed his conquests to the Caspian Sea on the north and the Indus on the east, to the frontier of Egypt and the deserts of Sinai on the west and south.
The abbess had it at hand; as she put the cup to his lips she spoke her warm and effusive thanks, and many words of comfort; then she asked him what she could do for him and his, when they should be in safety. "Love them truly," he said gently. "Pul will certainly never be quite happy till she is in a convent. But she must not leave her mother she must stay with her; Joanna-Joanna...."
"Our soul in God hath joy and game." "They are so fed that even for fat thier eyes oft-times out start." "They grin they mow they nod thier heads." "While they have war within thier hearts." as butter are thier words." "Divide them Lord & from them pul thier devilish double-tongue." "My silly soul uptake." "And rained down Manna for them to eat a food of mickle-wonder."
Forgive an old man for such fatherly familiarity with the daughter of Thomas; hardly five years after my marriage with this good wife, not long after we had lost our only son, I left her and our little daughter, Pul there, for more than two years, to follow the Emperor Heraclius of my own free will to the war against the Persians who had done me no harm not, indeed, as a soldier, but as a surgeon eager for experience.
This scheme, in which there is nothing conjectural except the length of the reign of Pul, receives very remarkable confirmation from the Assyrian monuments.
Among these were Rezon of Damascus and Menahem of Samaria. Tiglath-pileser was still known in Palestine under his original name of Pul, and the tribute of Menahem is accordingly described by the Israelitish chronicler as having been given to Pul. The Assyrian king was now free to turn the full strength of his forces against Ararat.
Her ruddy gold hair, which Pul has inherited, seems to have bewitched him and, as the handsome foreigner pleased her well for men like my father are hard to match nowadays she turned Christian for his sake and came home with him.
Tell that to your mother, little wagtail, and come again very often." "Thank you very much. But let me ask you, if I may, where you heard that odious nickname? I hate it." "From the same person who told you the secret that my Pulcheria is called Pul!" said Rufinus; he laughed and bowed and left the two girls together. "What a dear old man!" cried Katharina.
I have been like a lamb among you through all this misfortune and serious trouble; but there is something more in me than that. You will be quite astonished!" "Nay, nay. Remain what you are," the widow said. "Always and ever full of love for you and Pul. But I am a grand and trusted person now! I have something very important to do for Orion to-morrow. Something Rustem will go with me.
