It seems the ambassador was aware that “bye-and-bye” was a phrase that would please the English; because, in a campaign in which both nations had fought together, bye-and-bye was the constant reply of the Turkish soldiers and marines., when roused arid pressed by the English sailors and soldiers, crying, Háideh! háideh! “Go on! go on!” Thus each of the two nations first learnt from each other the phrase most congenial to their character—the English that of activity, the Turks that of tardiness.
