All the Tartar languages are closely allied, so that a person of average linguistic talent who has mastered one of them, whether it be the rude Turki of Central Asia or the highly polished Turkish of Stambul, can easily acquire any of the others; whereas even an extensive acquaintance with the Tartar dialects will be of no practical use to him in learning a language of the Mongol group.
They were employed in the same way that any other merchant employs a catalogue. They reached the hands of many an opulent and abandoned 'profiteer' of Damascus, Stambul where you will. Molly's picture would be one of many. Remember that hundreds of pretty girls disappear from their homes taking the whole of the world every year. Clearly, English beauty is popular at the moment!
"Most mighty and most gracious One, if thou deignest to listen to the worthless words which drop from the mouth of thine unprofitable servant with those ears of thine created but to receive messages from Heaven, I will relate to thee what has happened most recently in Stambul." The Sultan continued to play with his ring, which he had taken off one finger to slip on to another.
Only this very week the fairest part of Stambul, close to the Chojabasha, was burnt to the ground; and only a few weeks ago the same fate befell the suburb of Ejub along the whole length of the sea-front, and that, too, at the very time when the other part of the city was illuminated in honour of the birthday of Prince Murad.
"Poor Irene!" sighed Janaki, buckling on his sword with which he certainly was not very likely to kill anybody and he accompanied the insurgents to the Etmeidan. In Stambul things were all topsy-turvy once more. The seventh Janissary regiment, when the two-and-thirty Janissaries returned to them with bloody swords boasting of their deed, rushed upon them and cut them to pieces.
If by evening thou dost not show thyself in the camp, then so sure as God is one, the host will not remain in Scutari but will come to Stambul." The host is coming to Stambul! that was a word of terror. And Achmed III. well understood what it meant.
Good counsel was now precious indeed. The Grand Vizier opined that the army, leaving the Sultan behind at Brusa, should set off at once towards Tebrif to meet the foe. If it were found possible to unite with Abdullah Pasha all was won. Stambul was to be left to itself, and the rebels allowed to do as they liked there. Once let the external enemy be well beaten and then their turn would come too.
The caique is narrow and sharp as a canoe, painted white, with a gold border on the gunwale. Two powerful men take their oars, and the caique darts over the blue waters of the Bosporus. Half-way between Scutari and Stambul, Fatima looks eagerly down the Sea of Marmora. She longs for an hour of freedom, and orders the boatmen to change the direction.
Ablutions before prayers. The first section of the Koran. The Imperial Treasury. The part of Stambul inhabited by the Greeks. Companies of horse. "God be for ever gracious to him." Believer. Unbeliever. Anti-Christ. The prescribed almsgiving. Voluntary almsgiving. Peter the Great. The allusion is to the Peace of the Pruth.
Dependent on Stambul, it served to turn thither the eyes and prayers of the provincials. The naturally submissive and peaceful population of Asia Minor quickly accustomed itself to look beyond the dismantled strongholds of its fallen beys. As for the rest contumacious and bellicose beys and sheikhs of Kurdish hills and Syrian steppes their hour of surrender was yet to come.
