Side 26 - When rich people, chiefs, or men of rank die, their favourite concubines swear, before their master's death, that in case he dies they will go with him. On the day the corpse is taken out of the house, a high wooden scaffolding is erected, at the foot of which wood is piled up in a large heap, and when the fire burns fiercely two or three of his concubines, who have sworn before, their heads covered with flowers and their...
Side 583 - cried Punchkin. Then the boy took hold of the parrot, and tore off one of its wings ; and as he did so the Magician's right arm fell off. Punchkin then stretched out his left arm, crying, " Give me my parrot ! " The Prince pulled off the parrot's second wing, and the Magician's left arm tumbled off. " Give me my parrot !
