The last words were pronounced in a fearful tone. Numa was no longer the cold unmoved statue he had hitherto appeared, he was like a fiery genius of wrath, whose very breath was destruction. The Wallachians fell upon their knees in silent awe, while the women who had been standing outside, rushed shrieking down the rocks.
So the Saxons, who were Germans, thought they had driven the Cymry beyond the western borders of the country which was later called England, and into what they named the foreign or Welsh parts. Centuries afterwards, this land received the name of Wales. People in Europe spoke of Galatians, Wallachians, Belgians, Walloons, Alsatians, and others as "Welsh."
"Well, the Wallachians are now no further advanced in military science than were the Tartars then." "Yes, but at that time the Szekler Stone was in a condition for defence," objected Manasseh. "And how do you know I haven't put it in such a condition again?" asked the other. "I should like to see how you have accomplished it."
'Dear one, thou art come at last! Take the reward of all thy toils, all thy dangers, all thy love! Come, adored Mandeville accept the prize of silence and fidelity! And she added, 'and never upon brows more worthy could a wreath of chivalry be placed. "She placed the coronet upon my head, and then gently raising me, exclaimed "'Wallachians! behold your PRINCE!"
Scarcely had the words escaped his lips, than the Decurio, raising his left hand, severed the contradictor's head at one stroke from his body; and as it fell back, the lifeless trunk dropped on its knees before the Decurio, with its arms around him, as if in supplication.

Of his 20,000 men, 9000 were left on that battle-field, and 3000 made prisoners.
Happily for her, her eyes had ceased to distinguish the light of sun, and ere long the light of an eternal glory had risen upon them. The Wallachians then dug a common grave for the bodies, and threw them all in together.
The Wallachians, "have a superstition that every flower has a soul, and that the water-lily is the sinless and scentless flower of the lake, which blossoms at the gates of Paradise to judge the rest, and that she will inquire strictly what they have done with their odours."
The practice of employing women as beasts of burden which, although it exists among many of the peoples of Europe, for example, the Basques, Wallachians, and Portuguese, is almost peculiar to barbarous nations, seems to have been lost in the Philippines as far back as the time of its discovery by the Spaniards; and even among the wild people of the Isaróg, the women engage only in light labor, and are well treated.
"Ha! what is going on here?" thundered a voice from behind. The Wallachians looked round. A figure stood among them fully a head taller than all the rest. He wore a brass helmet, in which a deep cleft was visible, and held in his left hand a Roman sword. His features bore the ancient Roman character. "The Decurio!" they murmured, making way for him.
