"I beg pardon of your sublime highness, but the beauteous princess is not yet married," said Menouni; "the story is not yet finished." "Wallah el nebi!" exclaimed the pacha. "By God and his prophet, is she never to be married?" "Yes, your sublime highness, but not just yet. Shall I proceed?" "Yes, Menouni, and the faster you get on the better."
What is that?" said the shikaree wallah in a low voice, pointing to a sunny spot at no great distance off, where Reginald caught sight of the huge head of a crocodile, with its jaws open. The creature was apparently fast asleep, basking in the sun.
"My pleasure is," replied the invader, "that you forthwith furnish me with slaves, cattle, and money, to the value of 100,000 dollars." "Pooh!" said Nemmir, "you jest; all my country could not produce what you require in one hundred moons." "Ha! Wallah!" was the young Pasha's reply, and he struck the Tiger across the face with his pipe.
Wallah! it is wonderful, but it is true! we have seen him with our eyes. There is no god but God! and both joining in this pious exclamation, they galloped off, without further words, in the direction of their tents. On reaching the ruins I descended into the new trench, and found the workmen, who had already seen me as I approached, standing near a heap of baskets and cloaks.
"Wallah el Nebi! by God and his Prophet, you do indeed. Is it all to be like that?" "No! pacha. I wish to Heaven that it had been. Merciful God! why didst thou permit the blow? Was not I grateful?
Wallah, thou wilt fill men's eyes. Now rise, and make haste with thy washing." He rose accordingly and, having dedicated his works to God, dipped a hand-bowl in the earthen jar which served as cistern, and carried it out on to the sand before the threshold.
Wallah Thaib! Well said, by Allah! I never should have thought of that," observed the pacha. "Proceed with your story." The five months had elapsed, according to my calculations, when one morning I heard a grating noise close to me; soon afterwards I perceived the teeth of a saw entering my domicile, and I correctly judged that some ship was cutting her way through the ice.
Then: "You tell me that Feisul knows, and yet..." "Oh, I didn't tell you that," laughed Jeremy. "It was this other man who said so. I never deceived anyone; I'm an honest fellow, I am. Remember, I warned you against him when we talked in the hotel; you can't blame me. I told you he was up to mischief. I advised you to keep a careful eye on him and to look twice at his paper! Wallah!
"Then may I advise your highness to walk out this evening in search of more, and not exhaust that which is in your possession?" "Wallah Thaib! It is well said!" answered the pacha, rising from his musnud or carpet of state: "the moon is up when all is ready we will proceed."
Wallah is, in Hindostanee, as nearly as possible an equivalent to "fellow," and in explaining the character of this particular order of Wallah, the accent is always strong on the second syllable of the compass.
