chapter-025Do n''t you find her pretty nearly as much the child as she was ten years ago?"
chapter-025Do you know of any good school?"
chapter-025Faithful?
chapter-025I hope you approve of the arrangement, Countess de Bassompierre?"
chapter-025I watched her keenly: here was a true test of that memory she had boasted; would her recollections now be faithful?
chapter-025Is it wine?"
chapter-025Was his a pseudo pride?
chapter-025Well, Miss Snowe, why do you go on with it?"
chapter-025What was the result?
chapter-025You wo n''t go into town, will you, papa?"
chapter-025was it real dignity?
chapter-025you are not going out?"
chapter-039La petite va m''aidern''est- ce pas?
chapter-039O sont- ils? chapter-039 After all, who may this young girl, this Justine Marie, be? chapter-039 Am I known? chapter-039 And what and who was she that had haunted me? chapter-039 Ask first what were the circumstances attendant on this respite? chapter-039 Can it be a wandering dog that has come in from the street and crept and nestled hither? chapter-039 Can we spare him a moment''s notice? chapter-039 Have we a stray glance to give to the third member of this company? chapter-039 How does she look? chapter-039 How far did this delay concern me? chapter-039 I had left the great door ajar; should I find it thus? chapter-039 I lightly pushed the heavy leaf; would it yield? chapter-039 Is it a robber who has made his way through the open street- door, and lies there in wait? chapter-039 Justine Mariethe dead nunwhere was she? chapter-039 Perhaps the wind or some other accident may have thrown it to with sufficient force to start the spring- bolt? chapter-039 Pourquoi ne viennent- ils?
chapter-039The answer was prompt enough, God knows?
chapter-039The carriage thunders past, but what do I see, or fancy I see, as it rushes by?
chapter-039The family junta wish this heiress to be married to one of their bandwhich is it?
chapter-039Vital questionwhich is it?
chapter-039Was I glad?
chapter-039Was it a fact to warrant joy?
chapter-039Was that signal meant for me?
chapter-039Were there not those whom it might touch more nearly?
chapter-039What dark, usurping shape, supine, long, and strange?
chapter-039What does she wear?
chapter-039What is she like?
chapter-039What was this business?
chapter-039What was this?
chapter-039What, then; do I see between the half- drawn curtains?
chapter-039Whence came these vestments?
chapter-039Who contrived this artifice?
chapter-039Who could recognise me?
chapter-039Who is she?
chapter-039Why, in her grave, Madame Walravenswhat can you want with her?
chapter-039Will it spring, will it leap out if I approach?
chapter-039when imagination once runs riot where do we stop?
chapter-024And do you remember that?
chapter-024And you are little Polly?
chapter-024Because he is a foreigner? chapter-024 Did I?
chapter-024Do n''t I know what mamma says about him? chapter-024 Do you hate him for that reason?"
chapter-024Dr. and Mrs. Bretton were at M. de Bassompierre''s this evening?
chapter-024How did the recognition between him and your father come about?
chapter-024Howknow something?
chapter-024Is Miss de Bassompierre quite well now?
chapter-024M. de Bassompierre has a daughter?
chapter-024Oh, you have? chapter-024 Partial to me?
chapter-024The only visitor? chapter-024 The sharpness must be gonethe point, the poignancythe deep imprint must be softened away and effaced?"
chapter-024Was it so formerly? chapter-024 Were you the only visitor?"
chapter-024Who? chapter-024 You have forgotten then that I have sat on your knee, been lifted in your arms, even shared your pillow?
chapter-024You must have forgotten some things?
chapter-024You think I have forgotten whom I liked, and in what degree I liked them when a child?
chapter-024''whom do you indicate by that name?
chapter-024And they live at a large hotel in the Rue Crcy?"
chapter-024At last I stammered,"I think I never met you till that night, some weeks ago, when you were hurt?"
chapter-024Bretton?"
chapter-024Did it so strike you?
chapter-024Do you thus remember him?"
chapter-024Have you made new acquaintance?"
chapter-024How do you know?"
chapter-024I suppose Sunday will now be Dr. Bretton''s dining- out day.?"
chapter-024I suppose his disposition is still gay and careless?"
chapter-024I thought you always found her house charming?"
chapter-024I wonder what always makes you so mighty testy l''endroit du gros Jean?
chapter-024It was dated"La Terrasse,"and it ran thus:"DEAR LUCY, It occurs to me to inquire what you have been doing with yourself for the last month or two?
chapter-024Mrs. Cholmondeley?
chapter-024She and Esculapius have the entre of the de Bassompierre apartments: it seems''my son John''attended missy on the occasion of her accidentAccident?
chapter-024Was there error somewhere?
chapter-024While he slept, I thought he looked very bonny, Lucy: fool as I am to be so proud of him; but who can help it?
chapter-024You have no memory for the comfort and protection by which you soothed an acute distress?
chapter-024and you remember the old time at Bretton?"
chapter-024or for what other reason of equal weight?"
chapter-022About Ginevra Fanshaweeh?
chapter-022And why, Lucy, ca n''t you look and feel as I dobuoyant, courageous, and fit to defy all the nuns and flirts in Christendom? chapter-022 Are they going to interrupt?"
chapter-022Are you satisfied now?
chapter-022Did she not sometimes make you miserable?
chapter-022If I were to bring Miss Fanshawe into your presence just now?
chapter-022Was it my letter, Lucy?
chapter-022Well then,he proceeded,"how do you feel physically?
chapter-022What letter, Lucy? chapter-022 Will it be cool?will it be kind?"
chapter-022Will it be longwill it be short?
chapter-022You are able, consequently, to tell me what you saw? chapter-022 You will not laugh?"
chapter-022You will tell nobody?
chapter-022You would laugh?
chapter-022And had there been anything in the garret?
chapter-022Are there evil influences haunting the air, and poisoning it for man?
chapter-022Are there wicked things, not human, which envy human bliss?
chapter-022Are you growing calmer?
chapter-022Bretton himself?
chapter-022Could I believe that ear?
chapter-022Could I trust my eyes?
chapter-022Did I now look on the face of the writer of that very letter?
chapter-022Had I recognised the tone?
chapter-022Had she a pretty face?
chapter-022How do you manage?"
chapter-022I said briefly to the doctor:"do you cultivate happiness?
chapter-022Is there no cure?no preventive?"
chapter-022Lucy, was she a pretty nun?
chapter-022Mamma says sometimes, too, that I have a harmonizing property of tongue and eye; but you never saw that in medid you, Lucy?"
chapter-022My dear girl, what letter?"
chapter-022There stood the bougie quenched on the drawers; but where was the letter?
chapter-022Was it a man?
chapter-022Was it an animal?
chapter-022Well, Lucy"( drawing on his gloves),"will the Nun come again to- night, think you?"
chapter-022What did they discover?
chapter-022What does such advice mean?
chapter-022What is it worth?
chapter-022What was it?"
chapter-022What was near me?
chapter-022Why is it not better worth such tears, and such tenderly exaggerating faith?"
chapter-022Will she stand that, do you think?"
chapter-022Your account was quite vague, do you know?
chapter-016Am I in England? chapter-016 Do n''t you deserve cold tea, for being late?"
chapter-016Do you like it, Polly?
chapter-016Do you want Graham?
chapter-016Do, I, madam? chapter-016 Graham Bretton?"
chapter-016How was I found, madam, and by whom?
chapter-016I speak to Mrs. Bretton, formerly of Bretton, shire?
chapter-016Madam, where am I?
chapter-016Now, when she looks down; now, when she turns sideways, who is she like, Graham?
chapter-016Observed what? chapter-016 Tell me, Graham, of whom does that young lady remind you?"
chapter-016Who else should it be, mamma?
chapter-016Will she come forward and speak for herself?
chapter-016You are quite better then? chapter-016 You considered me a little bold; perhaps?"
chapter-016You do not come from England?
chapter-016You see how it was now?
chapter-016Am I at Bretton?"
chapter-016And why did Bretton and my fourteenth year haunt me thus?
chapter-016As to spontaneous recognitionthough I, perhaps, was still less changed than hethe idea never approached his mind, and why should I suggest it?
chapter-016Besides, I kept thinking of the son of that tall matron: when should I see him?
chapter-016Excluded?
chapter-016Graham, have you observed it?"
chapter-016Have you been long in this country?
chapter-016How is your patient, mamma?"
chapter-016I gasped audibly,"Where am I?"
chapter-016Into some house I had been carriedbut what house?
chapter-016Not only in what spot of the world, but in what year of our Lord?
chapter-016Quite strongeh?"
chapter-016What ails the Old Lady now?
chapter-016What brought it on, I have yet to learn, and all particulars; meantime, I trust you really do feel better?"
chapter-016What can you mean?"
chapter-016What dark- tinged draught might she now be offering?
chapter-016What was there in this simple and somewhat pretty sleeping- closet to startle the most timid?
chapter-016Where was I?
chapter-016Why hovered before my distempered vision the mere furniture, while the rooms and the locality were gone?
chapter-016Why, if they came at all, did they not return complete?
chapter-016Why?
chapter-016You seem to know my son?"
chapter-016Your sonthe picture there?"
chapter-016what Genii- elixir or Magi- distillation?
chapter-026And you do n''t like him now? chapter-026 But who, Paulina, can it be?
chapter-026Did I keep my word, papa? chapter-026 How, Madame?"
chapter-026I suppose it may be: but why consider the subject? chapter-026 It may be true that he once thought her handsome: does she give him out as still her suitor?"
chapter-026No, I daresay: and how does she mix up these with her sentiment and her.love? chapter-026 Oh, to be sure, what man would not be afraid of such a little silent lady?"
chapter-026What does she say, Paulina? chapter-026 Who are you?
chapter-026Your way, you little chatter- box? chapter-026 But tell me this you are very particular in making me be civil to Dr. Bretton, do you like him yourself?
chapter-026But what road was open?what plan available?
chapter-026Did I behave better?"
chapter-026Do n''t you remember that, as a little girl, you used to be rather partial to him?"
chapter-026He may be careless and proud; but when was he ever mean or slavish?
chapter-026How did she like that genial, half humorous vein, which to me gave such delight?
chapter-026How was it necessary?
chapter-026I was well enough, he supposed?
chapter-026I wonder what she thought of my correspondence?
chapter-026In the grenier?
chapter-026In what corner of this strange house was it possible to find security or secresy?
chapter-026Is any of it true?"
chapter-026Is he afraid of me, do you think, papa?"
chapter-026Is not that another thing, Lucy, to be loved?"
chapter-026Lucy, is it true?
chapter-026No; the grenier would not dobut where then?
chapter-026Papa, is it the Edinburgh or the Aberdeen accent you have?"
chapter-026She does mix them, I suppose?"
chapter-026Talk away when he is here, and have no fear of him?"
chapter-026What do you know about it?"
chapter-026What estimate did she form of Dr. John Bretton''s epistolary powers?
chapter-026What had a person devoted to a serious calling, that of education, to do with Counts and Countesses, hotels and chteaux?
chapter-026What has he done?"
chapter-026What is love to you?
chapter-026What should I do to prevent this?
chapter-026Where could a key be a safeguard, or a padlock a barrier?
chapter-026Who that has near access to you would dare to do it?"
chapter-026Why do you sit here by yourself?
chapter-026You really make quite a stranger of Dr. Bretton: how is this?
chapter-026and why do you come to me?"
chapter-026how seemed these things to you?
chapter-026said she,"is that the summit of earthly happiness, the end of lifeto love?
chapter-021And afterwards?
chapter-021And what did he say?
chapter-021And will Graham really write?
chapter-021And your letter?
chapter-021But if I feel, may I never express?
chapter-021But when I want yours so much, ange farouche, what does a little reluctance on your part signify? chapter-021 Come,"said he, more softly,"tell me the truthyou grieve at being parted from friendsis it not so?"
chapter-021Did he?
chapter-021Do you think I noticed you?
chapter-021Est- ce que vous avez l''intention de m''insulter?
chapter-021Every answer to his queries was then refused? chapter-021 Fun for you, Miss Fanshawe?
chapter-021Ginevra, have you seriously done with Dr. Bretton? chapter-021 He noticed that?
chapter-021He would n''t lie still?
chapter-021If,muttered she,"if he should write, what then?
chapter-021Lucy,stepping after me"shall you feel very solitary here?"
chapter-021No, did he? chapter-021 Oh, have you?
chapter-021Saw the bracelet? chapter-021 Was I the mistress of these girls?
chapter-021Well, and how ever did you get him home?
chapter-021You do n''t say so? chapter-021 You promise yourself a pleasant moment,"said he,"in reading that letter; you will open it when alonen''est- ce pas?
chapter-021And so, Ourson, you know Isidore?"
chapter-021And this new, this out- door, this male spy, what business had brought him to the premises at this unwonted hour?
chapter-021But now, come, grand- mother, I hope you like coffee as much, and pistolets as little as ever: are you disposed to barter?"
chapter-021But, how is our well- beloved John?
chapter-021Did I consume the venison at once and with haste, as if Esau''s shaft flew every day?
chapter-021Did I read my letter there and then?
chapter-021Do you meditate pleasure in replying?
chapter-021Do you want him to give you up?"
chapter-021Had I ever reminded him of that rencontre, or explained it?
chapter-021Have you no pity on his poor mother and me?
chapter-021He saw the bracelet?"
chapter-021I''ll writejust any cheerful nonsense that comes into my headshall I?"
chapter-021Shall I tell you of what I am reminded while watching you?"
chapter-021Was n''t I cruel?"
chapter-021Was this modesty?
chapter-021What could I say to all this?
chapter-021What did he say to my behaviour the other night?
chapter-021What possible right had he to intrude on me thus?
chapter-021Who is your tailleuse?"
chapter-021it is too good to read at once; you save it, as, when I was a boy, I used to save a peach whose bloom was very ripe?"
chapter-021you know he ca n''t do that: but was n''t he mad?"
chapter-035And dare I rely on Monsieur''s regard? chapter-035 But, in short, Monsieur, now I think of it, you must live somewhere?
chapter-035By what bonds or duties?
chapter-035Can I enter into your visions? chapter-035 Et puis?"
chapter-035Et vous, Mademoiselle? chapter-035 Hein?"
chapter-035Hein?
chapter-035I know that you have a pleasant old house in a pleasant old square of the Basse- Villewhy do n''t you go and live there?
chapter-035I see you have entered into my secrets,said he,"but how was it done?"
chapter-035Knowing me thoroughly nowall my antecedents, all my responsibilitieshaving long known my faults, can you and I still be friends?
chapter-035Lucy,said M. Paul, speaking low, and still holding my hand,"did you see a picture in the boudoir of the old house?"
chapter-035Qu''est- ce donc? chapter-035 Shall I tell Monsieur the tale?"
chapter-035The portrait of a nun?
chapter-035What do you know? chapter-035 Where did you pick up all that?
chapter-035You did not connect the two ideas; that would be folly?
chapter-035You did not, nor will you fancy,pursued he,"that a saint in heaven perturbs herself with rivalries of earth?
chapter-035You have, then, the whole situation?
chapter-035You heard her history?
chapter-035You remember what we saw that night in the berceau?
chapter-035And what of the charities which absorbed his worldly goods?
chapter-035Besides, no good- living womanmuch less a pure, happy spiritwould trouble amity like ours n''est- il pas vrai?"
chapter-035But what of the''Priest''s Pupil?''"
chapter-035But, if all melted like a dream, as once before had happened?
chapter-035Can I guess a woman''s waking thoughts, much less her sleeping fantasies?"
chapter-035Could they not see at once the crude hand of a novice in that composition they called a forgery?
chapter-035Dare I speak to him when I am so inclined?"
chapter-035Did I dream it, Monsieur, do you think?"
chapter-035Do tell me where; and what establishment of servants do you keep?"
chapter-035Does he really think he needs me, and can take an interest in me as a sister?"
chapter-035Forget him?
chapter-035I heard one of my examinershe of the braided surtoutwhisper to his co- professor,"Est- elle donc idiote?"
chapter-035If he would but prove reliable, and he looked reliable, what, beyond his friendship, could I ever covet?
chapter-035Protestants are rarely superstitious; these morbid fancies will not beset you?"
chapter-035To ascertain the fact, to fix and seal it, I asked"Is Monsieur quite serious?
chapter-035Was I, then, to be frightened by Justine Marie?
chapter-035Was the picture of a pale dead nun to rise, an eternal barrier?
chapter-035What is it?"
chapter-035What means had I, before this day, of being certain whether he could love at all or not?
chapter-035What of his heart sworn to virginity?
chapter-035What story?
chapter-035What was I to make of it?
chapter-035What was the matter?
chapter-035Who told you?"
chapter-035Will Miss Lucy be the sister of a very poor, fettered, burdened, encumbered man?"
chapter-041Dare you take the freedom of going all over the house?
chapter-041Do I displease your eyes much?
chapter-041Do you know Marie Justine?
chapter-041Do you wish to puzzle me? chapter-041 He did not like leaving me in the Rue Fossette; he feared I should miss him there too muchI should feel desolateI should grow sad?"
chapter-041How is it? chapter-041 It is a school then?"
chapter-041It made you very sad then to lose your friend?
chapter-041Must I tell you what I told Modeste Beckthat you do not know me? chapter-041 Must we sit down here and wait?"
chapter-041What now?
chapter-041Who keeps it? chapter-041 Will you have the goodness to accept of a few prospectuses for distribution in behalf of a friend of mine?"
chapter-041Am I the directress?
chapter-041And what did I say to M. Paul Emanuel?
chapter-041But now, what will you do for pupils?"
chapter-041Did you furnish it?
chapter-041Did you get these papers printed?
chapter-041Do you know her?
chapter-041Do you mean me?
chapter-041Does he purpose to come?
chapter-041I am not pleasant to look at?"
chapter-041I asked him whether his friends, Pre Silas and Madame Beck, knew what he had donewhether they had seen my house?
chapter-041I had talked once, he reminded me, of trying to be independent and keeping a little school of my own: had I dropped the idea?
chapter-041I think I deserved strong reproof; but when have we our deserts?
chapter-041If I had put myself into your power, and you had begun with your questions of look and lipWhere have you been, M. Paul?
chapter-041Is there another Lucy Snowe?
chapter-041Is this your house?
chapter-041Must I show and teach you my character?
chapter-041Must I tell how I and the two stalwart companions I brought home from the illuminated park bore the test of intimate acquaintance?
chapter-041Must I, ere I close, render some account of that Freedom and Renovation which I won on the fte- night?
chapter-041Object?
chapter-041Paul?"
chapter-041Shall I yet see him before he goes?
chapter-041Should you object to beginning with three petite bourgeoises, the Demoiselles Miret?
chapter-041Was it weak to lay so much stress on an opinion about appearance?
chapter-041Was the record painful?"
chapter-041What have you been doing?
chapter-041What is in a name?what in three words?
chapter-041Who is your friend, if not Emanuel?
chapter-041Who prizes you, if I do not?
chapter-041Will he bear me in mind?
chapter-041Will this daywill the next hour bring him?
chapter-041Without clear proof this hand will not lie still in mine, it will not trust my shoulder as a safe stay?
chapter-041You will have proof that I can be a firm friend?
chapter-027And the other?
chapter-027But are you anybody?
chapter-027But what did I say?
chapter-027But you were speaking of tastes: we may see the same objects, yet estimate them differently?
chapter-027But, Lucy, how is that? chapter-027 Could I manage to make you ever grateful?"
chapter-027Do we?
chapter-027Dodo tell me who you are? chapter-027 In the Bible on Sunday nights?"
chapter-027Is it?
chapter-027Is there,he pursued,"another in the room as lovely?"
chapter-027On what terms were''little Polly''and I? chapter-027 Rather a peculiar child, was she not?
chapter-027Then it was my words which wounded you? chapter-027 What now?"
chapter-027Who am I indeed? chapter-027 Who are you, Miss Snowe?"
chapter-027You did? chapter-027 You do n''t remember her as a child?"
chapter-027You do n''t remember then? chapter-027 And why? chapter-027 Are they the same which I used to direct to a horn- book? chapter-027 Are you ready at last?
chapter-027But you do n''t recollect me, of course?"
chapter-027Could you manage that, think you, Lucy, and make me ever grateful?"
chapter-027Do you think little Polly''s memory, not more definite?"
chapter-027I have given more than one solitary moment to thoughts and calculations of your estimate of Lucy Snowe: was it always kind or just?
chapter-027Is it true, Lucy, or half- true?
chapter-027Look at her large eyes, Lucy; can they read a word in the page of memory?
chapter-027That"Is it?"
chapter-027Was I fond of children in those days?
chapter-027Was there anything gracious or kindly about megreat, reckless, schoolboy as I was?
chapter-027Were you not a guest at Bretton ten years ago, when Mr. Home brought his little girl, whom we then called''little Polly,''to stay with mamma?"
chapter-027What am I to- day?
chapter-027What was I the yesterday of ten years back?"
chapter-027Who could help smiling at his wistfulness, his simplicity, his earnestness?
chapter-027Who has words at the right moment?
chapter-027Would you believe it?
chapter-027You meant, in short, to express that you are not ashamed to be seen in the street with me?
chapter-027he pursued;"tell me: I was angry: I have forgotten my words; what were they?"
chapter-031Are you afraid? chapter-031 But, Monsieur, you could not from the distance of that window see what passed in this garden at night?"
chapter-031Comment? chapter-031 Did the shawls keep you warm?"
chapter-031Good- night, Mademoiselle; or, rather, good- eveningthe sun is scarce set; I hope you slept well?
chapter-031Here?in this house?
chapter-031Look, at it,said he:"is not that spark like an eye watching you and me?"
chapter-031Mademoiselle, do you Protestants believe in the supernatural?
chapter-031Monsieur, what if it comes and goes here still?
chapter-031No: but it has happened to me to experience impressions"Since you came here?
chapter-031What other things?
chapter-031Why do you shrink and speak so faintly? chapter-031 Why, Monsieur, do you ask such a question?"
chapter-031Are you superstitious?"
chapter-031By whose creed?
chapter-031Do you ask thanks for them?"
chapter-031Do you hear that you have some of my tones of voice?
chapter-031Do you know that you have many of my looks?
chapter-031Do you observe that your forehead is shaped like minethat your eyes are cut like mine?
chapter-031Do you see it, Mademoiselle, when you look in the glass?
chapter-031Do you see that window with a light in it?"
chapter-031Does some dogma of Calvin or Luther condemn it?
chapter-031Does the nectarine love either the bee or bird it feeds?
chapter-031Had I been too hasty?
chapter-031I dislike it the more because""You believe?"
chapter-031Is the sweetbriar enamoured of the air?
chapter-031It seems you turn day into night, and choose a desk for a pillow; rather hard lodging?"
chapter-031Madame Beck''s commencement wasas I have often heard her sayfrom no higher starting- point, and where is she now?
chapter-031No matter; what did it signify?
chapter-031None, except St. Pierre, was inimical to me; but which of them had the art, the thought, the habit, of benefiting thus tenderly?
chapter-031Offer to the strongestif the darkest angel of God''s hostwater, when he has asked bloodwill he take it?
chapter-031Pierre?"
chapter-031Was this feeling dead?
chapter-031What Dryad was born of these throes?
chapter-031What birth succeeded this travail?
chapter-031What is that to me?
chapter-031What was become of that curious one- sided friendship which was half marble and half life; only on one hand truth, and on the other perhaps a jest?
chapter-031When?
chapter-031Whether is it of my words or that red jealous eye just winking itself out?"
chapter-031Which of the pupils?
chapter-031Which of the teachers?
chapter-031Which of them had a step so quiet, a hand so gentle, but I should have heard or felt her, if she had approached or touched me in a day- sleep?
chapter-031Who had done this?
chapter-031Who was my friend?
chapter-031You know the legend of this house and garden?"
chapter-031You looked pale in your slumbers: are you home- sick?"
chapter-031he cried, laughing;"when did you ever see me trouble my head about my dignity?
chapter-031it is not right?
chapter-031where?"
chapter-038Are you coming, too?
chapter-038Be ready?
chapter-038What have I done, Meess? chapter-038 Why was it his duty?"
chapter-038But what bodily illness was ever like this pain?
chapter-038Can I manage it?
chapter-038Could it be that he was becoming more than friend or brother?
chapter-038Could it not?
chapter-038Could my Greatheart overcome?
chapter-038Could my guide reach me?
chapter-038Did I not begin to flag, quail, and wish for safety under a roof?
