19094 Why should n''t the thunder be Jupiter? 19094 Why, really-- are you the...? 19094 Why, what does she do? 19094 You believed quite simply that I was a magician? 19094 You do n''t drink wine yourself? 19094 You do n''t think she''ll keep him awake all night with fairy tales? 19094 You do n''t think she''ll throw the medicine- bottle out of window and administer-- er-- a dewdrop, or anything of that sort? 19094 You know the Duke has two wards who are to live with him now? 19094 You mean that it''s really quite simple? 19094 You would really be willing to pay a sum like this to know the way I did that trick? 19094 [_ Abruptly._] And how''s Patricia? 19094 [_ Abruptly._] Why did you wear that cloak with the hood up? 19094 [_ After a silence, very suddenly._] What is that noise? 19094 [_ After a silence._] Where is Mr. Morris Carleon? 19094 [_ Almost nervously._] Why, what do you mean? 19094 [_ Angrily._] Well, what am I? 19094 [_ Astonished and angry._] Do you really mean that you take the cheque and then tell us it was only magic? 19094 [_ Becoming nasal again in anger._] That''s so, eh? 19094 [_ Breaking the silence in unusual exasperation._] Any what? 19094 [_ Dreamily._] Where shall wisdom be found, and what is the place of understanding? 19094 [_ Exasperated._] Why the devil do you dress up like that if you do n''t believe in it? 19094 [_ Genially._] And whereabouts is that? 19094 [_ Hastening forward._] You want the Doctor? 19094 [_ Humorously, as he puts in his head at the window._] See here, does a Duke live here? 19094 [_ In a lower voice._] What would you suppose? 19094 [_ Jumping up and bustling about, altering cards, papers, etc., on tables._] Room horrible? 19094 [_ Looking at him steadily._] Do you mean he is going mad? 19094 [_ Looking at him._] Do you believe in your own religion? 19094 [_ More and more thoughtful._] You would pay much more....[_ Suddenly._] But suppose I tell you the secret and you find there''s nothing in it? 19094 [_ More good- humouredly._] Well, what is a model public- house? 19094 [_ Pacing the room again._] Could it be done with mirrors? 19094 [_ Quietly._] I suppose you mean you knew something odd about the family? 19094 [_ Restrainedly._] Shall I take the programmes, your Grace? 19094 [_ Rising rather shakily._] And what are you going to do? 19094 [_ Rising, rigid with horror._] How I did that trick? 19094 [_ Sceptically._] Do you know the language of the elves? 19094 [_ Sharply._] Has it any inhabitants? 19094 [_ Smiling faintly._] And what did this friend of yours do? 19094 [_ Smiling._] Well, then, where''s Patricia? 19094 [_ Smiling._] Why? 19094 [_ Staring._] All what? 19094 [_ Starting._] Indeed? 19094 [_ Still dashing cards about the table._] Miss Carleon, might I speak to you a moment? 19094 [_ Still looking at him._] And do n''t you think you ask me a rather unfair question, Dr. Grimthorpe? 19094 [_ Swinging round suddenly on the table._] But do you blame a man very much, Miss Carleon, if he enjoyed the only fairy tale he had had in his life? 19094 [_ Turns to_ HASTINGS,_ who has gone over to a table with the papers._] You know Mr. Carleon is coming this afternoon? 19094 [_ With a sneer._] Will you disappear now? 19094 [_ With a sort of fury._] Well, does anybody believe it? 19094 [_ With amazement._] The_ conjurer_? 19094 [_ With violence._] Or perhaps you do n''t believe in devils? 19094 _ Enter_ PATRICIA CARLEON[_ Still agitated._] Patricia, where have you been? 19094 _ Was_ Joan of Arc a Vegetarian? 1718 A question? |
| 1718 | A woman? 1718 All?" |
| 1718 | And is THIS, may I ask,he said,"the sanity that is spreading?" |
| 1718 | And is this true? |
| 1718 | And no shots hit the Warden, though they were fired quite close to him too? |
| 1718 | And people in their senses? |
| 1718 | And pray where in earth or heaven are there any prudent marriages? 1718 And who wrote that?" |
| 1718 | But are you Smith? |
| 1718 | But how do you know,cried Rosamund desperately,"that Mr. Smith is a known criminal?" |
| 1718 | But was there in Smith''s taste any such variety as the learned doctor describes? 1718 But where is your husband taking you?" |
| 1718 | But why do you bring in these people here? |
| 1718 | Can the court now sitting throw any light on a truly singular circumstance? 1718 Catchin''flies?" |
| 1718 | Do you mean to say,asked Inglewood,"that you still doubt the evidence of exculpation we have brought forward?" |
| 1718 | Do you mean you want to marry me? |
| 1718 | Do you, perhaps,inquired Pym with austere irony,"maintain that your client was a bird of some sort-- say, a flamingo?" |
| 1718 | Doctor demandin''something? 1718 Does the aunt mind much?" |
| 1718 | From what quarter? |
| 1718 | Have you looked at it? |
| 1718 | Have you noticed this about him,asked Moon, with unshaken persistency,"that he has done so much and said so little? |
| 1718 | Have you,continued Moon,"identified the houses in Hoxton up which they climbed?" |
| 1718 | How can poor Mr. Smith be so dreadful as he is by your account? |
| 1718 | I''m all for lies in an ordinary way; but do n''t you see that to- night they wo n''t do? 1718 In the first place,"continued Moon,"have you the date of Canon Hawkins''s last glimpse of Smith and Percy climbing up the walls and roofs?" |
| 1718 | Inglewood,said Michael Moon, with his blue eye on the bird,"have you any friends?" |
| 1718 | Inglewood,said Michael Moon,"have you ever heard that I am a blackguard?" |
| 1718 | Is my name Moon? |
| 1718 | Is n''t the mere sight of him enough to banish all your morbid reflections? |
| 1718 | Is that one of your jokes? |
| 1718 | Is your name Hunt? 1718 It is impossible, then, to trace him?" |
| 1718 | It will then be asked,` Why does Innocent Smith continue far into his middle age a farcical existence, that exposes him to so many false charges?'' 1718 Kites are all right, but why should it only be kites? |
| 1718 | Knew what? |
| 1718 | Let us what? |
| 1718 | Matriculation? |
| 1718 | Michael,cried Rosamund, wringing her hands,"how can you stand there talking nonsense? |
| 1718 | My darling, what else is there to do? |
| 1718 | O Diana,cried Rosamund in a lower voice and altering her phrase;"but how did you tell her?" |
| 1718 | O lord, he is n''t a woman too, is he? |
| 1718 | Oh, how can one explain a change in sun and moon and everybody''s soul? |
| 1718 | Oh, what''s the good of talking about men? |
| 1718 | Outlived it? |
| 1718 | Perhaps a version of alive and kicking? 1718 Rosamund,"she cried in despair,"what shall I do with her?" |
| 1718 | Shall I die in defence of this sacred pale? 1718 Silly?" |
| 1718 | Snakes? |
| 1718 | Symptoms? |
| 1718 | The defence? |
| 1718 | Well, hang it all,said Moon, in an injured manner,"if Dr. Pym may have an old friend with ferrets, why may n''t I have an old aunt with poplars?" |
| 1718 | Well, really,cried Inglewood, left behind in a collapse of humour,"have I noticed anything else?" |
| 1718 | Well,answered Moon,"that Beacon House is a certain rather singular sort of house-- a house with the tiles loose, shall we say? |
| 1718 | Well,said Michael quietly,"will you tell me one thing? |
| 1718 | Well,said Michael, cocking an eyebrow at him,"was there any burglary in that terrace that night? |
| 1718 | Well,said the girl solidly,"what is there to wake up to?" |
| 1718 | What am I to do now, I wonder? 1718 What do you mean?" |
| 1718 | What do you mean? |
| 1718 | What do you mean? |
| 1718 | What is the matter? |
| 1718 | What is the meaning of this queer coincidence about colours? 1718 What on earth am I to do with her?" |
| 1718 | What other occupation is there for an active man on this earth, except to marry you? 1718 What was Dr. Warner talking about just before the first shot?" |
| 1718 | What was this telegram? |
| 1718 | What would be the good of gold,he was saying,"if it did not glitter? |
| 1718 | What? |
| 1718 | Who are you? 1718 Who is there?" |
| 1718 | Why did n''t you get their evidence? |
| 1718 | Why do n''t they make more games out of wind? |
| 1718 | Why do you want us to go inside? |
| 1718 | Why does everybody repeat riddles,went on Moon abruptly,"even if they''ve forgotten the answers? |
| 1718 | Why not? |
| 1718 | Why, did n''t you know? |
| 1718 | Why, what bush do you mean? |
| 1718 | With her? |
| 1718 | Would it have much authority? |
| 1718 | Yes,he said at last;"but how can I lean on this gate if you keep on opening it?" |
| 1718 | You are sure it''s impossible? |
| 1718 | You see all this,said Rosamund, with a grand sincerity in her solid face,"and do you really want to marry me?" |
| 1718 | You''ve got the evidence of the Sub- Warden who heard some shots; where''s the evidence of the Warden himself who was shot at? 1718 ` And why is it dangerous?'' |
| 1718 | ` But why?'' 1718 ` Do you believe in the gods?'' |
| 1718 | ` Do you mean,''I demanded,` that the owner of this house approves of all you do?'' 1718 ` Do you really mean,''I cried,` that you have come right round the world? |
| 1718 | ` Does he drink too much, then?'' 1718 ` Have you no other house of your own?'' |
| 1718 | ` I ca n''t express a millionth part of what I''ve thought of,''I cried,` but it''s something like this... oh, ca n''t you see it? 1718 ` Is it not even shorter,''I asked,` to stop where you are?'' |
| 1718 | ` Mine,''said the burglar,` May I present you to my wife?'' 1718 ` Nora?'' |
| 1718 | ` What do you mean?'' 1718 ` What do you mean?'' |
| 1718 | ` What do you mean?'' 1718 ` What song do you mean?'' |
| 1718 | ` What will do him good?'' 1718 ` Why does n''t he strike us dead?'' |
| 1718 | ` Why, what is the matter?'' 1718 ` YOU have had an escape from death?'' |
| 1718 | ` You know the house, then?'' 1718 `"The Doll''s House"?'' |
| 1718 | ''Ow can we drop in and buy the` Pink''Un''at the railway station at Kosky Wosky or whatever it was? |
| 1718 | ''Ow can we go and do a gargle at the saloon- bar on top of the Sierra Mountains? |
| 1718 | ''Ow can we test all those tales? |
| 1718 | Agreed? |
| 1718 | An allegory, shall we say? |
| 1718 | And this seemed to me a strange question to ask, for what should a man do except what men have done? |
| 1718 | And when Inglewood broke through his native politeness so far as to say suddenly,"Is your name Smith?" |
| 1718 | And will you kindly tell me what the deuce is the good of a jewel except that it looks like a jewel? |
| 1718 | Are you Innocent?" |
| 1718 | Are you mad?... |
| 1718 | Are you, may I ask, a professional acrobat on a tour, or a travelling advertisement of Sunny Jim? |
| 1718 | But does he want specially to be snapshotted by all the journalists~prostratus in horto~? |
| 1718 | But how does this picking of holes affect the issue? |
| 1718 | But if I followed the star, should I find the house?'' |
| 1718 | But is there any evidence of such variety here? |
| 1718 | But we still ask whether they were ever born?" |
| 1718 | But what do you expect? |
| 1718 | But what else are all the trees and clouds for, you silly kittens?" |
| 1718 | By the way, what was the Seal of Solomon? |
| 1718 | By the way,"he cried out, pointing in quite a startling way,"where does that door lead to?" |
| 1718 | Ca n''t you find that mandoline of yours, Rosamund?" |
| 1718 | Can he produce it?" |
| 1718 | Could a Greek tragedy be more gray and cruel than that daybreak and awakening? |
| 1718 | Did it come direct from the prisoner?" |
| 1718 | Did n''t I tell you I wanted to talk to Inglewood?" |
| 1718 | Do I understand that you want to get back to life?'' |
| 1718 | Do n''t you know that? |
| 1718 | Do n''t you know what it is to be all one family circle, with aunts and uncles, when a schoolboy comes home for the holidays? |
| 1718 | Do n''t you see one only breaks the fence or shoots the moon in order to get HOME?'' |
| 1718 | Do n''t you see that everything in this garden looks like a jewel? |
| 1718 | Do n''t you see there''s something sacred in the silliness of such things?'' |
| 1718 | Do n''t you think so?" |
| 1718 | Do you know anything of him?'' |
| 1718 | Do you like being hanged upon nothing? |
| 1718 | Do you notice that maniacs mostly try either to destroy other things, or( if they are thoughtful) to destroy themselves? |
| 1718 | Do you see that fifth house along the terrace with the flat roof? |
| 1718 | Do you,''he asked with a sudden intensity,` do you never want to rush out of your house in order to find it?'' |
| 1718 | Does he want to enter the court of justice on all fours? |
| 1718 | Does it exist? |
| 1718 | Dog- stealer, horse- stealer, man- stealer-- can you think of anything so base as a toy- stealer?'' |
| 1718 | Down what chimney from hell would come the goblin that should take away the children''s balls and dolls while they slept? |
| 1718 | Duke?" |
| 1718 | Eames, we''ve been to the brink of death together; wo n''t you admit I''m right?'' |
| 1718 | Have n''t you ever had a spring cleaning?" |
| 1718 | Have n''t you ever noticed that Miss Duke never sits still-- a notorious sign? |
| 1718 | Have n''t you ever observed that Inglewood is always washing his hands-- a known mark of mental disease? |
| 1718 | Have n''t you noticed that we never saw him since we found ourselves? |
| 1718 | Have we outlived it?" |
| 1718 | Have you forgotten that only this afternoon we flew the flag of independence and severed ourselves from all the nations of the earth?" |
| 1718 | Have you noticed anything odd about Smith?" |
| 1718 | He must have justice; but does he want to ask for justice, not only on his knees, but on his hands and knees? |
| 1718 | He''d throw off the doctor like the disease, do n''t you know? |
| 1718 | How and why do you display all this energy for clearing walls and climbing trees in our melancholy, but at least rational, suburbs?" |
| 1718 | How could he express his trust in us better than that? |
| 1718 | How could he have shown it better than by escaping in the cab and coming back again? |
| 1718 | How could he have shown it better than by standing quite still and letting us discuss it? |
| 1718 | I asked,` should you wish to return to that particular doll''s house? |
| 1718 | I asked;` what thing?'' |
| 1718 | I called out;` you are not going on with this blackguard?'' |
| 1718 | I ventilate the house, and you sweep the house; but what is going to HAPPEN in the house?" |
| 1718 | If we ca n''t do a little thing like that, what right have we to put crosses on ballot papers?" |
| 1718 | Inglewood lingered behind them, saying with a certain amicable exasperation,"I say, do you really want to speak to me?" |
| 1718 | Innocent Smith is only the doctor that visits us; had n''t you come when he called before? |
| 1718 | Into how many virginal ears has he whispered that holy word? |
| 1718 | Is it anybody''s interest here to wash this linen in public? |
| 1718 | Is it not at least a hypothesis holding the field that Dr. Warner is such a man? |
| 1718 | Is not love a Hercules, Still climbing trees in the Hesperides?" |
| 1718 | Is there any trace of a gigantic Patagonian in the story? |
| 1718 | May I ask how the defence got hold of the letter from Curate Percy? |
| 1718 | Miss Duke is rather--""I know,"cried the stranger, looking up radiantly from his bag;"magnificent, is n''t she? |
| 1718 | Miss Duke, do you or your aunt want a sort of notice stuck up over your boarding- house--`Doctors shot here.''? |
| 1718 | Moon is talking about? |
| 1718 | No one moved of the groups in the garden except Mary Gray, who stepped forward quite naturally, calling out,"Are you ready, Innocent? |
| 1718 | Now is there any one who doubts that our tale is true?" |
| 1718 | Smith?" |
| 1718 | Smith?" |
| 1718 | Smith?" |
| 1718 | Smith?" |
| 1718 | Then he added,"Are there two maniacs here?" |
| 1718 | Trip?" |
| 1718 | Warner?" |
| 1718 | Was Lady Bullingdon''s dressmaker a negress? |
| 1718 | Was the typewriter an Eskimo? |
| 1718 | We all see that for any thinking man mere extinction is the... What are you doing?... |
| 1718 | Well, what abart this Mrs. Smith the curate talks of, with her blarsted shyness-- transmigogrified into a blighted sharpness? |
| 1718 | What could be more powerful than the combination of Scientific Theory with Common Sense? |
| 1718 | What other court dares to try one of our company, save only the High Court of Beacon? |
| 1718 | What other term, it will be said, could be applied to such a being? |
| 1718 | What should we feel if there were less? |
| 1718 | What would you say if I called a man wicked on the word of two priests?" |
| 1718 | What''s the alternative to marriage, barring sleep? |
| 1718 | What''s the good of a Sovereign State if you ca n''t define a sovereign? |
| 1718 | What( the undersigned persons ask themselves) is a puddle? |
| 1718 | What, gentlemen, is the ethical position of marriage? |
| 1718 | Which of us has ever tried it?" |
| 1718 | Who the devil are you that you should n''t be unhappy, like the mother that bore you? |
| 1718 | Who would have thought of that trapdoor? |
| 1718 | Who would have thought that this cursed colonial claret could taste quite nice among the chimney- pots? |
| 1718 | Why are children not afraid of Santa Claus, though he comes like a thief in the night? |
| 1718 | Why do n''t you produce the evidence of the other clergyman, who actually followed the burglar and presumably was present at the crime?" |
| 1718 | Why have you not got evidence of them?" |
| 1718 | Why should we care for a black sovereign any more than for a black sun at noon? |
| 1718 | Will you paint these blue railings red with my gore?" |
| 1718 | Wot then? |
| 1718 | Would you be so obliging as to tell me whose house this is?'' |
| 1718 | Would you read a book, or buy a dog, or go to a hotel on the advice of twenty such? |
| 1718 | You and I have dawdled round each other long enough, and are we any safer than Smith and Mary Gray, who met last night? |
| 1718 | You do n''t want last year''s hats there, do you, any more than last year''s leaves? |
| 1718 | ` Do you mean to kill me?'' |
| 1718 | ` Well, of all the cheek--''"` Oh, do n''t you understand, do n''t you understand?'' |
| 1718 | ` What did you know?'' |
| 1718 | ` What is more immortal,''he would cry,` than love and war? |
| 1718 | ` What reason?'' |
| 1718 | asked the great doctor stiffly--"what discovery?" |
| 1718 | cried Arthur Inglewood in a kind of agony,"are you going to get out of the way?" |
| 1718 | cried Dr. Warner, fixing his former disciple with a stare,"are you mad?" |
| 1718 | cried Rosamund;"Michael, what does it mean?" |
| 1718 | demanded the exasperated Eames;` what song?'' |
| 1718 | he cried, stepping back from the steely glitter as men step back from a serpent;"are you afraid of burglars? |
| 1718 | or when and why do you deal death out of that machine gun?" |
| 1718 | the sooner this ugly business is over the better-- and how can we open the gate if you will keep leaning on it?" |
| 1718 | what''s the funeral, gents?" |
| 1720 | A scientific interest, I suppose? |
| 1720 | About you? |
| 1720 | Am I cleared? 1720 And how did you get on the track of all this hidden history?" |
| 1720 | And how do you propose to play the detective? |
| 1720 | And if that is the truth,said Horne Fisher,"are you going to tell it?" |
| 1720 | And that is? |
| 1720 | And what is that? |
| 1720 | And what is that? |
| 1720 | And what may that be? |
| 1720 | And what was that? |
| 1720 | And who is Usher? |
| 1720 | And who''s a funk, either? 1720 And why should that particular hole in the ground have anything to do with it?" |
| 1720 | And why? |
| 1720 | And you have nothing more immediate than your topography to offer,said Brain, with a sneer,"to help me avenge my friend?" |
| 1720 | Are n''t you going to dress up? |
| 1720 | Are you a first- class criminal? |
| 1720 | Are you a monk? |
| 1720 | Are you sure? |
| 1720 | As bad as all that? |
| 1720 | As they say in the examinations, what did you fail in? |
| 1720 | Because keeping hens is rather a mild amusement for a poacher? 1720 But how did it happen,"demanded Crane,"that for the first time Bulmer fell in at that particular spot?" |
| 1720 | But in that case,he cried, in a new and altered voice,"why then of course-- You said a piece of steel--?" |
| 1720 | But in that case,said March, frowning,"at what sort of unearthly hour in the morning was the murder really committed? |
| 1720 | But what could it be? |
| 1720 | But what is to be done? |
| 1720 | But what will the Chief do at Birmingham without the epigrams whispered to him by his brilliant secretary? |
| 1720 | But why? |
| 1720 | But would n''t the shot be heard at the inn or somewhere? |
| 1720 | But, after all, what could you expect?'' |
| 1720 | By the way, is there any news of anything? |
| 1720 | Can you see anything there? |
| 1720 | Could I have a word with you, sir? |
| 1720 | Could he have thrown down the statue after he''d stripped the corpse? |
| 1720 | Could n''t this have been an accident? |
| 1720 | Dare one suggest,he said,"that some of the things we have been talking about are among the old things that turn out not to be old?" |
| 1720 | Did Mary Cregan give evidence? |
| 1720 | Did he tell you what he and Hastings were doing? |
| 1720 | Did you get anything out of him? |
| 1720 | Did you hear that cry? |
| 1720 | Did you know him well? |
| 1720 | Did you know this unfortunate man? |
| 1720 | Did you notice that sort of flash or flicker the candle gave before it was extinguished? 1720 Did you quarrel with him?" |
| 1720 | Did you think I had found nothing but filth in the deep seas into which fate has thrown me? 1720 Did you think there was nothing but evil at the bottom of them?" |
| 1720 | Do n''t you see that they''re condemning him for the very reason for which they acquit everybody else? 1720 Do n''t you think agricultural laborers would rather have three acres and a cow than three acres of printed forms and a committee? |
| 1720 | Do n''t you think this is infamous? |
| 1720 | Do we know anything about him? |
| 1720 | Do you call that an explanation? |
| 1720 | Do you collect omnibuses like stamps? |
| 1720 | Do you know that mood when one could scream because a mat is crooked? |
| 1720 | Do you know what that means? |
| 1720 | Do you mean that girl Bridget Royce? |
| 1720 | Do you mean that you saw the murder? |
| 1720 | Do you mean to say,asked Crane, quickly,"that there really was a well?" |
| 1720 | Do you mean to say,asked Grayne,"that this infernal crime is not to be punished?" |
| 1720 | Do you mean to say,he asked,"that you know more about the business here because you have come from London?" |
| 1720 | Do you really mean,he said,"that Colonel Morris took the relic?" |
| 1720 | Do you think England is so little as all that? |
| 1720 | Do you think I do n''t know you''re always talking about my damned debts and expectations? |
| 1720 | Does a big fish ever break the line and get away? |
| 1720 | Fits in with what? |
| 1720 | Guatemalan Golcondas, was n''t it? |
| 1720 | Has she turned king''s evidence to that extent? |
| 1720 | Have they been used in the removal of the relic from downstairs? |
| 1720 | Have you discovered anything in there? |
| 1720 | Have you ever considered what it must be like to be a man who does n''t exist? 1720 Have you heard the news?" |
| 1720 | Hope? |
| 1720 | How can you possibly see a man? |
| 1720 | How do you know they are not the secret emissaries of our diplomacy? |
| 1720 | How was he dressed? |
| 1720 | How would you begin now? |
| 1720 | I mean what else could you expect, after making such a muck of it? |
| 1720 | I suppose you do n''t believe in spirits? |
| 1720 | If we want country people to vote for us, why do n''t we get somebody with some notion about the country? 1720 If we want to attack Verner, why not attack him? |
| 1720 | If you agree with us, why the devil do n''t you act with us? |
| 1720 | If you think it''s right, why do n''t you do what''s right? 1720 Is Sir Howard Horne your cousin?" |
| 1720 | Is it as bad as all that? |
| 1720 | Is it like St. Paul''s Cathedral? |
| 1720 | Is that the real reason of your pious alarms? |
| 1720 | It is certainly an idea,said Sir Walter, smiling,"but what about the balcony? |
| 1720 | Look here,said Crane, planting himself in front of him,"can you tell me anything about this business?" |
| 1720 | Now, how does a man search a revolving bookcase? 1720 Outside?" |
| 1720 | Poor old who? |
| 1720 | Studying botany, or is it archaeology? |
| 1720 | Surely you do n''t mean Jefferson Jenkins, the social reformer? 1720 The meaning of the outrages on Orientals?" |
| 1720 | There are other windows, are n''t there? |
| 1720 | Torwood Park does n''t belong to your cousin? |
| 1720 | Was he alive and well? |
| 1720 | Was he blind? 1720 Well?" |
| 1720 | What about me, then? |
| 1720 | What are you doing with that? |
| 1720 | What are you going to do next? |
| 1720 | What are you waiting for? |
| 1720 | What bad news do you mean? |
| 1720 | What crime do you mean? |
| 1720 | What do you mean,asked Boyle,"what mistakes?" |
| 1720 | What do you mean? 1720 What do you mean? |
| 1720 | What do you mean? |
| 1720 | What do you mean? |
| 1720 | What do you mean? |
| 1720 | What do you mean? |
| 1720 | What do you mean? |
| 1720 | What do you mean? |
| 1720 | What does all this mean? |
| 1720 | What does it all mean? |
| 1720 | What has the bottomless well got to do with it? |
| 1720 | What have you done about it? |
| 1720 | What is it? |
| 1720 | What is it? |
| 1720 | What is the matter? |
| 1720 | What is the meaning of this social satire? |
| 1720 | What man? |
| 1720 | What on earth are you talking about? |
| 1720 | What on earth do you mean? 1720 What on earth do you mean?" |
| 1720 | What on earth do you mean? |
| 1720 | What on earth is the trouble? |
| 1720 | What place? |
| 1720 | What the deuce are you talking about? |
| 1720 | What the devil do you mean? |
| 1720 | What would you propose doing? |
| 1720 | Where is Usher? |
| 1720 | Where is the Prime Minister? |
| 1720 | Who said you had? |
| 1720 | Who''s a child? |
| 1720 | Why are you the officer in charge now? |
| 1720 | Why can you conduct the inquiry on your own lines now? 1720 Why did he quarrel with you?" |
| 1720 | Why do you cry out before you''re hurt? |
| 1720 | Why do you object? |
| 1720 | Why not open my mind''s eye for me? 1720 Why should you, of all people, be so passionate about it?" |
| 1720 | Why, do n''t you know,he observed quietly,"that I am the fool of the family?" |
| 1720 | Why, you lunatic,cried Henry, in tones of ringing sincerity,"you do n''t suppose you were meant to_ win_ the seat, did you? |
| 1720 | Wo n''t you sit down? |
| 1720 | Yes, and what of that? |
| 1720 | Yes,remarked Fisher,"and what about the bottomless well?" |
| 1720 | You do n''t mean to say you suspect Tom Travers? |
| 1720 | You have heard of the magi, perhaps? 1720 You mean you''re staying here with your uncle, like a good boy?" |
| 1720 | After a pause, Cuthbert Grayne said,"And what are we to say to the newspapers?" |
| 1720 | Am I not going to be cleared?" |
| 1720 | And how else could he have unclothed a man covered with that stone monument? |
| 1720 | And that suggests a very queer idea, does n''t it?" |
| 1720 | And who was he? |
| 1720 | And why do n''t they attack men like Verner for what they are, which is something about as old and traditional as an American oil trust?" |
| 1720 | Are you coming up there now?" |
| 1720 | Army contracts?" |
| 1720 | Besides-- Hullo, who''s that up there?" |
| 1720 | But how do you know about the letter?" |
| 1720 | But if so, why do you degrade yourself to serve this dirty foreigner, when you at least saw the last of a genuine national gentry? |
| 1720 | But is it best? |
| 1720 | But we can all back you up, ca n''t we? |
| 1720 | But who knows?" |
| 1720 | But who was the spy who stole the papers?" |
| 1720 | But why do they turn up here at this time of night?" |
| 1720 | But why?" |
| 1720 | But, to begin with, will you tell me something? |
| 1720 | Crane?" |
| 1720 | Did I have it carried away by seven flying dragons, or was it merely a trifling matter of turning it into a milk- white hind?" |
| 1720 | Did anybody here actually see Lord Bulmer this morning?" |
| 1720 | Did he call out because he landed in the water, do you think?" |
| 1720 | Did n''t I hear that Harker was down here?" |
| 1720 | Did n''t you know Halkett wrote Burke''s book for him? |
| 1720 | Did n''t you notice that he only fell on the slope of soft grass underneath? |
| 1720 | Did you ever hear of an artist so clever that he could draw with a gun? |
| 1720 | Do you know many people called Tompkins? |
| 1720 | Do you know the Arab legend about that well?" |
| 1720 | Do you remember that silly talk about how old Isaac could always play his fish? |
| 1720 | Do you suppose he has n''t always known you as an honest man who would say these things when he got a chance? |
| 1720 | Do you suppose that Attwood has n''t always known them? |
| 1720 | Do you think it bad news?" |
| 1720 | Fisher?" |
| 1720 | For instance, we both want to turn Verner out of Parliament, but what weapon are we to use? |
| 1720 | Had you any guess of this at the start?" |
| 1720 | Has your chief come down yet?" |
| 1720 | Have n''t you come down here to see Number One before he goes on to Birmingham?" |
| 1720 | Have you developed a new theory about how this fellow escaped out of the ring round him?" |
| 1720 | Have you ever had that mystical feeling that things have happened before?" |
| 1720 | Have you ever heard of irreligious mania? |
| 1720 | Hawker?" |
| 1720 | He precipitated himself at it, calling out,"I say, does that connect?" |
| 1720 | Horne Fisher continued:"Are you only a servant, perhaps, that rather sinister old servant who was butler to Hawker and Verner? |
| 1720 | How can we make a democracy with no democrats? |
| 1720 | How could we know you were going to be-- well, really, such a rotten failure?" |
| 1720 | How did it all come to be like that?" |
| 1720 | How did it come about, I wonder, that the elder officers are not here to interfere with anything you do?" |
| 1720 | I mean did you see the statue fall?" |
| 1720 | I mean that are not there now?" |
| 1720 | I''ve heard a lot of gossip against him, but is it right to act on mere gossip? |
| 1720 | If I ran your unfortunate friend through the body, what did I do with the body? |
| 1720 | If he was alive, it might be you who killed him, or why should you have held your tongue about his death? |
| 1720 | Is it any worse when a whole great nation is set free as well as a family? |
| 1720 | Is there anyone else you could be? |
| 1720 | Like a bad dream come true, was n''t it?" |
| 1720 | Might be a pun on my pottering about here, might n''t it?" |
| 1720 | Now there are two things that are puzzling people about that problem, are n''t there? |
| 1720 | Oil? |
| 1720 | Or blind drunk?" |
| 1720 | Or do you keep them in your locker?" |
| 1720 | Shall I tell you the second hint I hit on, after yours, to make me think it was Jenkins? |
| 1720 | Tell the truth?" |
| 1720 | The other four men had already gathered on the same spot and almost simultaneously were calling out to him,"What does he say now?" |
| 1720 | The required silence remained unbroken for a long time until at last the clergyman said to Symon in a low voice:"I suppose it''s all right about air?" |
| 1720 | Then after another silence he added:"Do you remember when we first met, when you were fishing in that brook in the affair of the target? |
| 1720 | There was a faint stir in the stillness, and the magician said,"Can you see what is in the pocket?" |
| 1720 | There was a heavy silence, and at last Harold March said,"But where is the real relic?" |
| 1720 | There was another pause and the inquirer added,"Do you see anything of the relic itself?" |
| 1720 | There was another silence, and then Sir Walter said, quietly:"What sort of notion have you really got in your head, Fisher? |
| 1720 | Usher? |
| 1720 | Well, why did not Boyle do it? |
| 1720 | What about poaching eggs?" |
| 1720 | What can I do for you?" |
| 1720 | What could I do? |
| 1720 | What did he make his money in? |
| 1720 | What do you think of this Burgundy? |
| 1720 | What do you think we should do next?" |
| 1720 | What else should he do? |
| 1720 | What hope can there ever be of a free peasantry in England if the peasants themselves are such snobs as to want to be gentlemen? |
| 1720 | What is all this botheration about Sir Isaac and the rest of you? |
| 1720 | What really happened when you met Bulmer this morning? |
| 1720 | What will happen if I try to divide this estate decently among decent people?" |
| 1720 | What''s become of that fellow in green-- the architect dressed up as a forester? |
| 1720 | What''s the matter with you?" |
| 1720 | What? |
| 1720 | When you went through his papers in such a hurry, Harker, were n''t you looking for something to-- to make sure it should n''t be found?" |
| 1720 | Where does he come from? |
| 1720 | Where''s his nephew? |
| 1720 | Who could you be, now? |
| 1720 | Who is Verner? |
| 1720 | Why compliment him on being a romantic reactionary aristocrat? |
| 1720 | Why could n''t he speak? |
| 1720 | Why do n''t we give the squire''s land to the squire''s tenants, instead of dragging in the county council?" |
| 1720 | Why do n''t you speak plainer?" |
| 1720 | Why do we talk to people in Somerset about nothing but slums and socialism? |
| 1720 | Why does Attwood unmuzzle you like a dog at this moment, after all these years? |
| 1720 | Why does n''t somebody start a yeoman party in politics, appealing to the old traditions of the small landowner? |
| 1720 | Why talk about his blue blood? |
| 1720 | Why was he able to stand in the place of the scarecrow, hidden by nothing but an old hat? |
| 1720 | Will you?" |
| 1720 | asked Morton,"and a door, of course, somewhere round the corner? |
| 1720 | cried March,"shall we never get to the bottom of your mines and countermines?" |
| 1720 | demanded March,"or the accident? |
| 1720 | he cried,"have you seen what''s outside?" |
| 1720 | remarked Harry, humorously,"you beginning to take notice?" |
| 1720 | what_ is_ a man ashamed of nowadays?" |
| 20058 | ''Well, what about Bayswater?'' 20058 ''Why?'' |
| 20058 | Absurd? |
| 20058 | All those, sir? |
| 20058 | And be thrashed in public by a red- haired madman whom any two doctors would lock up? |
| 20058 | And how does your commerce go, you strange guardian of the past? |
| 20058 | And if they are beaten too? |
| 20058 | And is this the end of poor old Wayne? |
| 20058 | And what''s that? |
| 20058 | And what,asked the other,"would you call the summary of those things?" |
| 20058 | And you risk it? |
| 20058 | Any of our summer articles? 20058 Anything else I can do, sir?" |
| 20058 | Anything more, sir? |
| 20058 | Anything more, sir? |
| 20058 | Are they so terrible? |
| 20058 | Are you insane? |
| 20058 | Are you mad? |
| 20058 | Are you, then,he said,"no longer a democracy in England?" |
| 20058 | Barker,he said,"what is all this?" |
| 20058 | Beaten-- by what? |
| 20058 | Bowler,he said,"is n''t there some society of historical research, or something of which I am an honorary member?" |
| 20058 | But your Majesty,said Barker, eagerly and suavely,"does not refuse our proposals?" |
| 20058 | But, in God''s name, do n''t you see, Quin, that the thing is quite different? 20058 Ca n''t your''atmosphere''help you?" |
| 20058 | Can I get you anything? |
| 20058 | Did not half the historical nations trust to the chance of the eldest sons of eldest sons, and did not half of them get on tolerably well? 20058 Did they never tell you this is the Feast of the Lamps, the anniversary of the great battle that almost lost and just saved Notting Hill? |
| 20058 | Did what, Señor? |
| 20058 | Did you not tell me, Wilfrid Lambert,he said,"that I should be of more public value if I adopted a more popular form of humour? |
| 20058 | Do n''t you realise common public necessities? |
| 20058 | Do n''t you really think the sacred Notting Hill at all absurd? |
| 20058 | Do n''t you understand? |
| 20058 | Do you call me Majesty? 20058 Do you mean now? |
| 20058 | Do you think fighting is under the Factory Acts? |
| 20058 | Does a man of your intelligence come to me with these damned early Victorian ethics? 20058 Eh?" |
| 20058 | Eightpence, tenpence, or one and sixpence a bottle? |
| 20058 | Fifteen hundred pounds,whispered Mr. Wilson of Bayswater;"can we do fifteen hundred pounds?" |
| 20058 | From North Kensington? |
| 20058 | General Barker,he said, bowing,"do you propose now to receive the message from the besieged?" |
| 20058 | Has your master, Mr. Adam Wayne, received our request for surrender? |
| 20058 | Have I, then,he said,"your Majesty''s permission to depart? |
| 20058 | Have you heard the good news? |
| 20058 | How are we to get on? 20058 How did it happen?" |
| 20058 | How large now, my lord,he cried,"is the Empire of Notting Hill?" |
| 20058 | How the devil do I know? |
| 20058 | How will this do? |
| 20058 | I beg your pardon? |
| 20058 | I do n''t mind so much about being dead,he said,"but why should you say that we shall be defeated?" |
| 20058 | I suppose,he said, looking up appealingly, and sucking the pencil--"I suppose we could n''t say''wictory''--''Wayne''s wonderful wictory''? |
| 20058 | I suppose,said Adam, turning on him with a fierce suddenness--"I suppose you fancy crucifixion was a serious affair?" |
| 20058 | I wonder,said Barker, thoughtfully,"if I might speak freely to your Majesty?" |
| 20058 | I''m so sorry, Auberon,said Lambert, good- naturedly;"do you feel bad?" |
| 20058 | If I stood firm before, do you think I shall weaken now that I have seen the face of the King? 20058 If that was Portobello Road, do n''t you see what happened?" |
| 20058 | In what sense,cried Barker, with his feverish eyes and hands,"is the Government on your side?" |
| 20058 | In what? |
| 20058 | Is he really off his chump, do you think? |
| 20058 | Is it altogether impossible to make a thing good without it immediately insisting on being wicked? 20058 Is it possible that a man of your intelligence does not know that it is every one''s interest--""Do n''t you believe in Zoroaster? |
| 20058 | Is it really true, my dear Wayne,said the King, interrupting,"that you think you will be beaten to- morrow?" |
| 20058 | Is n''t it obvious? 20058 Is n''t that odd enough for anybody? |
| 20058 | May I ask the Señor how, under ordinary circumstances, he catches a wild horse? |
| 20058 | Must I attempt explanations in the romantic manner? 20058 Not really, sir? |
| 20058 | Now, where are your posters of last night''s defeat? |
| 20058 | Oh, damn your-- But what''s this? 20058 Oh, do n''t you know?" |
| 20058 | Oh,said Wayne, somewhat disturbed--"oh, what is it chemists sell? |
| 20058 | Our cousin of Bayswater,said the King, with delight;"what can we get for you?" |
| 20058 | Shaving, sir? |
| 20058 | The matter? |
| 20058 | Then, which way are they retreating? 20058 To whom have I the honour of speaking?" |
| 20058 | War? |
| 20058 | Was it my Lord Buck,he inquired,"who said that the King of England''shall''do something?" |
| 20058 | Was that Portobello Road? |
| 20058 | We swung round the corner eastwards, Wilson running first, brandishing the halberd--Will you pardon a little egotism? |
| 20058 | Well,said Buck, coolly,"how did they? |
| 20058 | Well? |
| 20058 | What answer does your master send? |
| 20058 | What can I do for you, sir? |
| 20058 | What cockatoo? 20058 What do you mean?" |
| 20058 | What do you mean? |
| 20058 | What do you mean? |
| 20058 | What do you propose to do, Mr. Barker? 20058 What does it all mean?" |
| 20058 | What does yer Majesty think necessary? |
| 20058 | What event? |
| 20058 | What in God''s name is the matter? |
| 20058 | What is happening now? |
| 20058 | What is it, then? |
| 20058 | What is the matter? |
| 20058 | What is the object of streets? |
| 20058 | What is the object of supper? |
| 20058 | What is this, my people? |
| 20058 | What is your wand? |
| 20058 | What news does he bring from that land of high hills and fair women? 20058 What news from the Hill of a Hundred Legends? |
| 20058 | What shall we say to them? |
| 20058 | What the devil are you talking about? |
| 20058 | What the devil do you make of that fellow? |
| 20058 | What the devil is all this? 20058 What thoughts?" |
| 20058 | What was the meaning of mocking the prophets? |
| 20058 | What will they do when they consent? |
| 20058 | What''s that roll in the corner? 20058 What?" |
| 20058 | What? |
| 20058 | What? |
| 20058 | Where are you going? |
| 20058 | Where is your favour now, Provost? |
| 20058 | Where''s it been all the time? |
| 20058 | Where,asked the King, leaning forward--"where in Heaven''s name did you get this miraculously inane idea?" |
| 20058 | Where? |
| 20058 | Why ca n''t you keep it to your own private life? |
| 20058 | Why do you hang them outside your shop? |
| 20058 | Why do you keep these old things? |
| 20058 | Why not,said Wayne, gently having reached the crisis of his delicate persuasion--"why not be a colonel?" |
| 20058 | Why should I? |
| 20058 | Why should it not make lamp- posts fairer than Greek lamps; and an omnibus- ride like a painted ship? 20058 Why should n''t I have them? |
| 20058 | Why the dickens not? |
| 20058 | Why the hell are n''t we holding all those approaches now, and passing in on them again? 20058 Why?" |
| 20058 | Will wonders never cease? 20058 Will you be so good as to step this way?" |
| 20058 | You are quite sure,he said,"that you must be beaten?" |
| 20058 | You ass,said Lambert;"why ca n''t you be like other people? |
| 20058 | You do n''t know what a thing happening means? 20058 You think that is certain?" |
| 20058 | You''ve heard the news, Pally-- you''ve heard the news? |
| 20058 | ''Do n''t you see? |
| 20058 | ''Is that you?'' |
| 20058 | Adam Wayne, Lord High Provost of Notting Hill, do n''t you think it splendid?" |
| 20058 | After all, why was it absurd? |
| 20058 | And do n''t you know that upon that night every year all lights are turned out for half an hour while we sing the Notting Hill anthem in the darkness? |
| 20058 | And shall I turn back?" |
| 20058 | And then came the pamphlet from Oregon( where the thing was tried), the pamphlet called"Why should Salt suffer?" |
| 20058 | And when should a popular form of humour be more firmly riveted upon me than now, when I have become the darling of a whole people? |
| 20058 | Are they not witnesses to that terror and beauty, that desire for a lovely death, which could not be excluded even from the immortality of Eden? |
| 20058 | Are thy relations with thy driver, I wonder, those of the Bedouin and his steed? |
| 20058 | Are you answered? |
| 20058 | Are you the patriot, and he the tyrant?" |
| 20058 | Art in the home, Pally? |
| 20058 | At last Wayne said, very slowly--"You did it all only as a joke?" |
| 20058 | At length Barker said suddenly--"Buck, does it ever cross your mind what this is all about? |
| 20058 | At this crucial moment of our country, the voice of the People demands with a single tongue,''Where is the King?'' |
| 20058 | Barker always felt so when the King said,"Why trouble about politics?" |
| 20058 | Before Notting Hill arose, did any person passing through Hammersmith Broadway expect to see there a gigantic silver hammer? |
| 20058 | Buck, have you ever stood and let a six foot of man lash and lash at your head with six feet of pole with six pounds of steel at the end? |
| 20058 | But all such larger but yet more soluble riddles are as nothing compared to the one small but unanswerable riddle: Where did they get the horses? |
| 20058 | But do you keep only, sir, the symbols of this prehistoric sanity, this childish rationality of the earth? |
| 20058 | But do you really mean that you will trust to the ordinary man, the man who may happen to come next, as a good despot?" |
| 20058 | But in Heaven''s name what would you have called it-- two days before?" |
| 20058 | But is it worth it? |
| 20058 | But may I ask you and appeal to your common good- nature for a sincere answer? |
| 20058 | But seriously, is n''t it funny?" |
| 20058 | But what can be the object of it in this case? |
| 20058 | But what is the good? |
| 20058 | But what was the good of it? |
| 20058 | But why am I talking? |
| 20058 | But why? |
| 20058 | Ca n''t you do it now? |
| 20058 | Can not you be content with that destiny which was enough for Athens, which was enough for Nazareth? |
| 20058 | Can you do nothing else but guard relics?" |
| 20058 | Can you find a deep philosophical meaning in the difference between the Stuarts and the Hanoverians? |
| 20058 | Can you not understand the ancient sanctity of colours? |
| 20058 | Can you see the humour of the stars? |
| 20058 | Can you see the humour of the sunsets?'' |
| 20058 | Can you tell me, in a world that is flagrant with the failures of civilisation, what there is particularly immortal about yours?" |
| 20058 | Can you tell me, in the name of all the gods you do n''t believe in, why I should care for anything else?" |
| 20058 | Can you write us the special article, Buck? |
| 20058 | Could any of your glebes and combes and all the rest of it produce so fragrant an idea? |
| 20058 | Decorations for your private residence? |
| 20058 | Did Bayswater erect it? |
| 20058 | Did you ever long for a miracle, Bowler?" |
| 20058 | Do n''t you see what would have saved you?" |
| 20058 | Do we not assume the same thing in a jury?" |
| 20058 | Do you disagree?" |
| 20058 | Do you happen to sell liquorice?" |
| 20058 | Do you know that he has the one collection of Japanese lacquer in Europe? |
| 20058 | Do you know what I am going to do for you?" |
| 20058 | Do you know what I''ve done, Barker? |
| 20058 | Do you know what Portobello Road is? |
| 20058 | Do you know who I am?" |
| 20058 | Do you not keep more terrible things? |
| 20058 | Do you not realise the chief incident of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries?" |
| 20058 | Do you not see that it is the glory of our achievement that we have infected the other cities with the idealism of Notting Hill? |
| 20058 | Do you really mean that you are-- God help me!--a Notting Hill patriot; that you are--?" |
| 20058 | Do you really mean to say that at the moment when the Esquimaux has learnt to vote for a County Council, you will have learnt to spear a walrus? |
| 20058 | Do you remember the times before the war?" |
| 20058 | Do you think I have no right to fight for Notting Hill, you whose English Government has so often fought for tomfooleries? |
| 20058 | For what is a state without dreams? |
| 20058 | Fulham may seek for wealth, and Kensington for art, but when did the men of Bayswater care for anything but glory?" |
| 20058 | God, what have I done? |
| 20058 | Had Wayne met some of our men and been defeated? |
| 20058 | Has Athens asked every one to wear the chlamys? |
| 20058 | Has he conquered and become by conquest commonplace? |
| 20058 | Has it occurred to you, my brilliant Barker, that another singular event has happened since that singular event of the lamps going out?" |
| 20058 | Has nothing been done by Notting Hill than any chance clump of farmers or clan of savages would not have done without it? |
| 20058 | Have the two greatest marvels been achieved? |
| 20058 | Have you a rich style?" |
| 20058 | Have you ever been in his rooms? |
| 20058 | Have you ever seen his books? |
| 20058 | Have you hypnotised me? |
| 20058 | Have you not noticed how continually in history democracy becomes despotism? |
| 20058 | Have you turned altruistic, and has Wayne turned selfish? |
| 20058 | Houses upside down-- more hygienic, perhaps? |
| 20058 | How are we to chase the enemy? |
| 20058 | How are you, James?" |
| 20058 | How can they?" |
| 20058 | How can two hundred men beat six hundred? |
| 20058 | How, I thought to myself, will this man, used only to the wooden swords that give pleasure, think of the steel swords that give pain? |
| 20058 | I ask you, in the name of Heaven, who wins?" |
| 20058 | I say, do you know a little shop anywhere where they cut your hair properly? |
| 20058 | If no temples and no scriptures are sacred, what is sacred if a man''s own youth is not sacred?" |
| 20058 | If they fought for these trumpery shops and a few lamp- posts, shall we not fight for the great High Street and the sacred Natural History Museum?" |
| 20058 | In the Lord''s name, was n''t the joke broad and bold enough? |
| 20058 | Is Athens angry because Romans and Florentines have adopted her phraseology for expressing their own patriotism? |
| 20058 | Is Nazareth angry because as a little village it has become the type of all little villages out of which, as the Snobs say, no good can come? |
| 20058 | Is it possible that you neglect Mumbo- Jumbo?" |
| 20058 | Is it really not enough for you, who have had so many other affairs to excite and distract you? |
| 20058 | Is it that I have neglected to rise to the full meaning of their work? |
| 20058 | Is it the relic of a moral sense?" |
| 20058 | Is it thoughtlessly, do you think, that I strike the dark old drum of peril in the paradise of children? |
| 20058 | Is it true? |
| 20058 | Is n''t it a joke?" |
| 20058 | Is n''t it immense?" |
| 20058 | Is there anything we have not thought of? |
| 20058 | Is there some secret buried in each of these shops which no mere poet can discover?" |
| 20058 | Is this ancient spirit of the London townships to die out? |
| 20058 | Is this his victory that he, my incomparable Wayne, is now only one in a world of Waynes? |
| 20058 | It does n''t really so much matter to you-- what''s a road or so? |
| 20058 | It will be asked,''Can you see the humour of this iron railing?'' |
| 20058 | Just as we inaugurated our symbols and ceremonies, so they have inaugurated theirs; and are you so mad as to contend against them? |
| 20058 | May I ask, Mr. Pinker, if you have any objection to being presented to the Provost and to General Turnbull?" |
| 20058 | Men walking on hands-- make feet flexible, do n''t you know? |
| 20058 | Mr. Bowles, shall all this witchery cease?" |
| 20058 | Must Mr. Mead, the grocer, talk as high as he? |
| 20058 | My God, what''s this?" |
| 20058 | O too humble fools, why should you wish to destroy your enemies? |
| 20058 | Odd to hear me talk like that, is n''t it? |
| 20058 | Officer,"he continued, addressing the startled messenger,"are there no ceremonies to celebrate my entry into the city?" |
| 20058 | On what else do all laws rest? |
| 20058 | Or did he and his men want to get away in disguise? |
| 20058 | Or did they want to hide in houses somewhere? |
| 20058 | Or had he flung these horses at us as some kind of ruse or mad new mode of warfare, such as he seemed bent on inventing? |
| 20058 | Provost Wayne, you stand firm?" |
| 20058 | Shall it be destroyed? |
| 20058 | Shall we take a hansom down to Kensington? |
| 20058 | She can never be utterly of the town, as a man can; indeed, do we not speak( with sacred propriety) of''a man about town''? |
| 20058 | Suppose we let it alone?" |
| 20058 | The chemist appeared to pause, only a moment, to take in the insult, and immediately said--"And the next article, please?" |
| 20058 | The next annotation at the side was almost undecipherable, but seemed to be something like--"How about old Steevens and the_ mot juste_? |
| 20058 | Then Buck said, in his jolly, jarring voice:"Is the whole world mad?" |
| 20058 | Then for the first time the great being addressed his adoring onlookers--"Can any one,"he said, with a pleasing foreign accent,"lend me a pin?" |
| 20058 | Then he said--"Anything out of the shop, sir?" |
| 20058 | Then the wise men grew like wild things, and swayed hither and thither, crying,"What can it be? |
| 20058 | Then through the darkness he cried in a dreadful voice--"Did I blaspheme God? |
| 20058 | To apologise to the admirable Mr. Wayne? |
| 20058 | To clasp to your bosom the flag of the Red Lion? |
| 20058 | To hold out for all that time and then to give in of necessity, what does it mean? |
| 20058 | To kiss in succession every sacred lamp- post that saved Notting Hill? |
| 20058 | To kneel to the Charter of the Cities? |
| 20058 | Touching the matter of the defence of Notting Hill, I--""Defence of Notting Hill? |
| 20058 | Wall- paper? |
| 20058 | Were they there before we came? |
| 20058 | What am I saying? |
| 20058 | What are those boxes, seemingly of lead soldiers, that I see in that glass case? |
| 20058 | What are you saying? |
| 20058 | What can it be in me? |
| 20058 | What can it be? |
| 20058 | What could be funnier than the idea of a respectable old Apostle upside down? |
| 20058 | What could be more in the style of your modern humour? |
| 20058 | What could have happened to the world if Notting Hill had never been?" |
| 20058 | What could it mean? |
| 20058 | What did you do with it?" |
| 20058 | What do you make of him?" |
| 20058 | What does he want, I wonder? |
| 20058 | What does it mean?" |
| 20058 | What else can we say? |
| 20058 | What have I done? |
| 20058 | What have you for the ear of your King? |
| 20058 | What is he doing while his subjects tear each other in pieces in the streets of a great city? |
| 20058 | What is the good of anything? |
| 20058 | What is the good of it? |
| 20058 | What is to be done with such a world? |
| 20058 | What more can we have on our side than the common sense of everybody? |
| 20058 | What the devil''s this?" |
| 20058 | What will London be like a century hence? |
| 20058 | What with my travels in Asia Minor, and my book having to be written( you have read my''Life of Prince Albert for Children,''of course? |
| 20058 | What would happen?" |
| 20058 | What would they say? |
| 20058 | Whatever were your objects, were they that?" |
| 20058 | When shall we open the next campaign?" |
| 20058 | When you drew up the Charter of the Cities, did you contemplate the rise of a man like Adam Wayne? |
| 20058 | Where have they gone?" |
| 20058 | Where should I be without tact?" |
| 20058 | Where''s your red cockatoo?" |
| 20058 | Which is more certainly the stay of the city, the swift chivalrous chemist or the benignant all- providing grocer? |
| 20058 | Which should come first to our affections, the enduring sanities of peace or the half- maniacal virtues of battle? |
| 20058 | Which should come first, the man great in the daily round or the man great in emergency? |
| 20058 | Which should come first, to return to the enigma before me, the grocer or the chemist? |
| 20058 | Who created all these things? |
| 20058 | Who erected that statue? |
| 20058 | Who ever spoke of a woman about town? |
| 20058 | Who would have thought of it before Notting Hill arose? |
| 20058 | Why am I asking questions of a nice young gentleman who is totally mad? |
| 20058 | Why ca n''t you let it alone? |
| 20058 | Why ca n''t you let it alone? |
| 20058 | Why ca n''t you say something really funny, or hold your tongue? |
| 20058 | Why not let him alone?" |
| 20058 | Why should I think it absurd?" |
| 20058 | Why should it condescend to be a mere Empire? |
| 20058 | Why should it not be you and I? |
| 20058 | Why should not hairdressers be heroes? |
| 20058 | Why should they be absurd? |
| 20058 | Why should they be commonplace? |
| 20058 | Why should two idiots, one a clown and the other a screaming lunatic, make sane men so different from themselves? |
| 20058 | Why was it absurd? |
| 20058 | Will it? |
| 20058 | Will you do me and my friends, with whom you have held some conversation, the honour of lunching with us at the adjoining restaurant?" |
| 20058 | Will you hold it feudally from the Provost of Hammersmith? |
| 20058 | You do really propose to fight these modern improvers with their boards and inspectors and surveyors and all the rest of it?" |
| 20058 | You felt pretty benedicted, did n''t you, Barker?" |
| 20058 | You have come, my Lord, about Pump Street?" |
| 20058 | do n''t you see how they''ve got us? |
| 20058 | he said;"is it possible that there is within the four seas of Britain a man who takes Notting Hill seriously?" |
| 20058 | or''Can you see the humour of this field of corn? |
| 20058 | said Buck, bitterly;"do n''t you see how these maniacs have got us? |
| 20058 | said Wayne passionately;"is it possible that there is within the four seas of Britain a man who does not take it seriously?" |
| 20058 | said Wilson, turning round to Barker--"well?" |
| 20058 | those special powers of knowledge or sacrifice which are made possible only by the existence of evil? |
| 20058 | where?" |
