Numa thought of the travelers, and a voice seemed to whisper, "They are now happy!"

And one reason of our own, superadded to the common reasons against allowing a Greek origin, is this: The Sfakians are a large-limbed, fine-looking race, more resembling the Wallachians whom we have already noticed, than the other races of Crete, or the other Greek islanders, and like the Wallachians, are often of colossal stature.

The other twelve thousand men under Charles were Cossacks and Wallachians, who had joined him in that country.
The besiegers had lost a great number, and began to fall back, after fruitless efforts to break in the door, when a footman entered breathless to inform Barnabas that the Wallachians were beginning to scale the opposite side of the castle with ladders, and that the servants were unable to resist them. Barnabas rushed to the spot.
Men saw ride before King Etzel on the road many bold knights of many tongues and many mighty troops of Christians and of paynims. When they met the lady, they rode along in lordly wise.
