I knew Mr. Parasang before the wedding, and it was because of my close intimacy with him that I came to know the relations between the two and the story of it.

Strengthened by this alliance, he crossed, with the confederate armies, the river Gaon, which was five parasangs from Balak, and opposed himself to the camp of Mahmud.

Yet for aught I know, you may be some parasangs nigher that primitive ideaPlato's manthan we in England here have the honour to reckon ourselves.

It was six months later when I got the habit of dining with them pretty regularly and of calling for Parasang on my way down town in the morning.
