Almost exactly at dawn Sita Ram, as sleepy as a homing owl, reached his own small quarters in the densest part of town. He had his hand on the door when another hand restrained him from behind. "You know me?" said a voice he did not know. A moment later his terrified eyes informed him. "Mukhum Dass? I owe you nothing!" "Liar! You have my title-deed! Hand it over before I bring the constabeel!"
Its loss would mean more to him than the loss of a wife to some men as Yasmini knew, and counted on. "Open the door and let me in, Mukhum Dass! The terms are these " "Nay, we can talk with the door between us." "Very well, then, lose thy title-deed! Dhulap Singh, thine enemy, shall have it within the hour!" She took her foot out from the door and turned away briskly.
It is a foundation of peace and strength and happiness more to be valued, in my account, than the title-deed of all the world.
The property was fairly purchased, and she had the title-deed in her possession, but perceiving that other interested parties also murmured about the sale, far from defending her rights, according to the letter of the law, she left the whole matter at the discretion of the adverse party, saying pleasantly that she wished, at any cost, to preserve charity with her neighbor, and she also wished her neighbor to feel charitably disposed towards her.
First, some one was sent for to make over the yellow heaps, to another, which the heaper now found would be of no use to himself in shooting the gulf; a transfer which ought to have been made while the tenement was sound. Then what sending for the wise men who professed to explain the title-deed!
In the year 1653, the seventy-fifth of his life, Harvey presented the College of Physicians with the title-deed of a building erected in their garden, and elegantly fitted up, at his expense, with a library and museum, and commodious apartments for their social meetings. Upon this occasion he resigned the professorship of anatomy, which he had held for nearly forty years, and was succeeded by Dr.
I looked at my father, and the vague hope Roland had excited fell as I looked. "Brother," said he, slowly, and shaking his head, "the world, which gives codes and laws to those who live in it, does not care much for a pedigree, unless it goes with a title-deed to estates." "Trevanion was not richer than Pisistratus when he married Lady Ellinor," said my uncle.
His voice was a little unsteady as he said this. Then he put his hand into his pocket again, and, after keeping it there for a moment or two, drew out a large folded piece of paper that looked like a title-deed, and handed it to his wife, who took it with a trembling hand. She opened it, read a few words, and, bursting into tears, turned and went quickly from the room.
How often has it been bruited that the color of the negro is the Cain-mark, propagated downward. Cain's posterity started an opposition to the ark, forsooth, and rode out the flood with flying streamers! How could miracle be more worthily employed, or better vindicate the ways of God to man than by pointing such an argument, and filling out for slaveholders a Divine title-deed!
So he resolutely refused to pay or to give up a single span of his land unless the friars should first prove the legality of their claim by exhibiting a title-deed of some kind. As they had none, a lawsuit followed, and Cabesang Tales entered into it, confiding that some at least, if not all, were lovers of justice and respecters of the law.
