41878A foreigner, talking about Esperanto, remarked:"What would be the use of making an universal language?
41878After we had talked some time the question was put plainly to them:"Would they support such a University?"
41878At last he was asked,"Have you never allowed you were wrong in your whole life?"
41878But why not accept the Chinese architecture as eminently fitted for the climate?
41878Could any Western power hope to accomplish such a feat?

41878The question put to the Chinaman is not,"Will you be Roman or Protestant?"

41878Those who have not realised the size of China will be perhaps inclined to ask why not unite the two schemes?
41878WHAT HAS AWAKENED CHINA?
41878We then changed the conversation to the question of"whether Confucius believed in God or not?"
41878What will Chinese Christianity be?

2133How then about this one, stranger than Buddhist or Taoist creed?
2133How then can men willingly walk with devils?
2133I ask what and whence is this loving- kindness of which he speaks?
2133Is it below Christianity in this?
2133Is it that no holy and wise men have appeared?
2133It is always a compliment to an old man, who is justly proud of his years, and takes the curious form of"your venerable teeth?"
2133Of all religions the only true one, What false doctrine can compare with it?
2133On receiving an affirmative reply, the Emperor added,"Even down to the crutch on which you lean?"
2133Say will you come back, little red- coat, again?
2133Should we not run the risk of sowing seed for future and bloody religious wars on soil where none now rage?
2133The shapeless, voiceless imp-- Why worship him?
2133Where, then, is this scourge of which men speak?
2133Who ever sees in China a tipsy man reeling about a crowded thoroughfare, or lying with his head in a ditch by the side of some country road?
2133Why then sacrifice so much for such trifling gain?
2133Would Christianity raise the Chinese to the standard of European sobriety?
2133Would it bring them to renounce opium, only to replace it with gin?
2133[ A drunken man does n''t know heaven from earth, how can he be expected to distinguish right from wrong?

27481What sort of a foreign woman was this?
27481Why should they learn to read? 27481 (All right?")
27481A few were in chairs; I had long since jumped out of mine, although as Liu complained,"Why does the Ku Niang hire one if she will not use it?"
27481And now-- is it too late?
27481And who can blame them?
27481But where was the famous lamassery that lay at its foot?
27481Did ever pilgrim tread a more beautiful path to the Delectable Mountains?
27481Do trees anywhere group themselves as picturesquely as in China?
27481How did I live?
27481How would the wheels go round in the East without"chits"?
27481Old wall, new railway; which will serve China best?
27481The question one naturally asks is, Why do these men become lamas; do they do it willingly or under compulsion?
27481Then, riding up with thumbs held high in greeting, they would cry to me"San?"
27481To whom will they now fall?
27481What are the chair and the pony for?
27481What lies behind the riddle of their impassive faces?
27481What of the Mongols nowadays?
27481What was I writing?
27481What was the land that bred such a race?
27481What''s the use?
27481Where in a Western frontier town could one find the like?

27481Who can tell what the Chinese coolie is doing in the same way?
27481Why does not the shoemaker of the West, if he wishes to secure an Eastern market, study the foot of the native, and make him shoes suited to his need?

11367: did it mean"white"plus"horse"?
11367A much more difficult question, however, faced him: How was the empire to be governed?
11367And how could it be ascertained whom Heaven had destined as successor if the existing dynasty was brought down?
11367But how was it that the Mongol rule did not collapse until some forty years later?
11367But what had happened to the Toba?
11367But what was the position of the"official"religion?
11367But what was the purpose of all this?
11367But what were the traders to do with their profits?
11367But whence came the officials?
11367But why not by the Toba?
11367Can the Chinese eradicate this tendency?
11367How can we explain that Buddhism had gained such influence?
11367How could unity be restored in these things?
11367How was it that in spite of all this the Manchus were able to establish themselves?
11367Northern Ch''i( Chinese?
11367Now a new question arose: what should be done with all those people?
11367Or should the right wing prevail, an alliance be concluded with the capitalists, and limits be set to the expropriation of landed estates?
11367Or was"white horse"no longer a horse at all but something quite different?
11367Should they work with it or against it?
11367The Europeans concentrated especially on the purchase of silk and tea; but what could they import into China?
11367The volume of short stories entitled_ Liao- chai chich- i_, by P''u Sung- lin( 1640- 1715?
11367Were the aliens to hold to their own worship of heaven, or were they to take over the official Chinese cult, or what else?

11367What could take their place?
11367What was to be done, for instance, with Chu''s helpers?
11367When we read of the turning over of great landed estates to the state, do we not imagine that we are faced with a modern land reform?
11367Why discuss the hearts of the people?"
11367Why should not the Huns have the same right?
11367Why should not they join in this struggle for the Chinese imperial throne?
11367Why was it that the Mongols were able to be so much more successful than their predecessors?
11367Will China be able to continue its eighteenth- century dream of direct or indirect domination of South- east Asia?
11367Will North Vietnam detach itself from China and attach itself more closely to Russia?
11367Will Russia and China continue to create separate spheres of influence in Asia, Africa, and South America?
11367Will the present government change the minds of these men and eradicate their feelings?
33712A more serious question for the ruler was, how did it affect his own position with regard to his subjects?
33712An officer( Kho Dalay?)
33712And how had this soldier of fortune acted towards his own country when he had received everything from her that he needed?
33712And what was that law?
33712But what is that fortunate stroke of diplomacy to be?
33712Did Yakoob Beg appear in the eyes of the Kashgari as an exacting and oppressive tyrant on account of these heavy impositions?
33712Does this concession, which we never made use of, entitle us to send a mission to the Chinese in Kashgar?
33712For all Russia''s protestations of friendship and good- will, what advantages has China reaped from those high- flown promises?
33712He died near the town of Balisan(?
33712How can it be peacefully solved, if Russia will not accede to the terms from which China is resolved not to budge?
33712If we admit this, as can scarcely be gainsaid, what becomes of the Kuldja question, and of its peaceful solution that many claim to see?
33712Mulla Yunus Jan, the Governor of Yarkand, and his son and brother fell into the hands of Hasan Jan Bai, Ikskal(?
33712The question then was, who was Hakim Khan Torah?
33712The three great Asiatic Powers have now converged upon a point; what is to be the result?
33712To so courageous and so honourable a reply what rejoinder could be made by the abashed officers?
33712We can scarcely persuade ourselves that he was aware of these occurrences, and yet how could he be ignorant of them?
33712What better epitaph could be placed over a courageous and just ruler?
33712What can we judge from this, but that the rule of Yakoob Beg, while presenting some striking features, was inferior in degree to that of the Chinese?
33712What have been the mutual relations between England, Russia, and China?
33712What necessity could be alleged to justify a scarcely excusable attack in a moral sense, and a quite unnecessary in a political?
33712What, then, have been the mutual relations between England and China in the past?
33712Why therefore will you persist in coming to it?
33712and how is it to be brought to pass?
6708At the end of the tour he asked how much greater he was than his minister?
6708Can not men respect its decrees?
6708Could it be done?
6708He asked:"Are these proceedings worthy, I will not say of princes, but of men possessing the least spark of honor?
6708He exclaimed,"What need have I of gold after my death?
6708He wrapped up this counsel in the exhortation,"What is the use of embarrassing ourselves with wealth?
6708How could the Sungs expect to avoid the same fate, or to propitiate the most implacable and insatiable of conquering races?
6708If Heaven had not favored me should I have succeeded in destroying with such ease those who withdrew into the desert of Shamo?
6708If they had paid heed to it, should we ever have reached this spot?"
6708In his letter to Niyamoho he said,"Why fatigue your troops with long and arduous marches when I will grant you of my own will whatever you demand?"
6708Is not the fate of man decreed by heaven?"
6708Oh, heaven, shall I be acting against thy desires if I sought to place a new prince of this family on the throne?"
6708The English no doubt demanded more than they ought, but what was the use of arguing with them, as they were masters of the situation?
6708What are the advantages which Russia possesses over England in dealing with China?
6708What is the conclusion to which the observations of all first- hand students of China have conducted them?
6708What would China be worth to Russia?
6708What would you say if we were to transport ourselves to Europe and to act there as you have done here?
6708What, in brief, was the Chinese case?
6708Who is more worthy of it than our general?"
6708Would you stand it for a moment?
26070And what about your wife and family? 26070 And what may the price be?"
26070And what, may I ask, may be the trade in which you are engaged, and of which you seem to be so ashamed that you dare not openly confess it?
26070Are you dissatisfied with the services I have rendered to you to- day?
26070But are you aware who I am?
26070But have you never appealed to Yam- lo, the ruler of the Land of Shadows? 26070 But have your ministers of State made no efforts during all these three years to discover their lost king?"
26070But how am I to get you out?
26070But how can such a ceremony be performed over persons who are still alive?
26070But is there any system by which the unfortunate people may get to know when this terrible sacrifice is going to be demanded from them?
26070But may I not tell the people of this approaching calamity?
26070But shall I and my family escape with our lives?
26070But what is the Demon like?
26070But when will that be?
26070Can you tell me, my man,asked Yin,"to whom this piece of land belongs?"
26070Do you not know that the man who owns this building is my father- in- law, and that his daughter is my promised wife? 26070 Do you see that dilapidated- looking cottage down by the riverside?
26070Do you wish to dispose of these things?
26070May I ask,said Sam- Chung,"what was the reason for the great gathering here to- day?
26070What age was this man Chan,she asked,"when you entered into this engagement with him?"
26070What did you mean,asked the visitor,"by depriving me of the one chance I had of gaining my freedom?"
26070What do you think would happen were I to do what you suggest? 26070 After I had proved the murder, what would become of me? 26070 And would she, a young girl of eighteen, be content to accept as a husband a man so advanced in years as he now was? 26070 But what did the words really mean? 26070 But where was he being taken? 26070 But who knows how he may have changed since last you saw him? 26070 Drawing close up to him, he said in a low voice,Do you see those six men who are descending the hill and coming in our direction?
26070Had Willow after all made a mistake eighteen years ago when she gave him the name of this town as the place where her new home was to be?
26070Have they tamely submitted to have you disappear without raising an outcry that would resound throughout the whole kingdom?
26070I should be cast into prison, and I might have to lie there for years, for who would ever bail out a thief?
26070May I ask how it came into your possession and what reason you can give for not having restored it to the King, who has long wished to discover it?"
26070To his astonishment, Lo- yung, with a frown upon his face, angrily exclaimed;"You common fellow, what do you mean by calling me your brother?
26070What if the bird should tire, he thought, and he should be dropped into the fathomless abyss below?
26070Where, too, was he being carried and how should he be ever able to return to his far- off home on the earth?
26070Why not then be contented and cease to long after the dignities which the State can confer, but which can never give you any real happiness?"
26070Would she recognize him?
33359''And who the devil is Atisa?''
33359''But has he no interests or amusements?''
33359''But what does he do all day?''
33359''But why did you not treat with the Tibetans themselves?''
33359''Do you get much of this sort of thing?''
33359''Do you read much?''
33359''The ruler of your country leaves his palace and capital, and you know nothing?''
33359''What the devil is that old thief doing over there?''
33359''Who are you?''
33359A transport officer was shouting:''How many bags have you, babu?''
33359And the rabble?
33359And what Englishman with the same prospect to face, caught in this dark eddy of circumstance, would not have done the same thing?
33359And who is he?
33359Answer:"What signifies whether it was a bird or not?"
33359But the men who attacked the Kangma post, what parallel in history have we for these?
33359But what was left him if he lived except shame and humiliation?
33359But what was the flame that smouldered in these men and lighted them to action?
33359But why not own up that one travels for the glamour of the thing?
33359Do you know where he is?''
33359Have we removed it?
33359How in the name of all their Buddhas were they to stop such a man?
33359It may be asked, then, What is, or was, the nature of the Russian menace in Tibet?
33359One wondered, were they pursuing truth or were they petrified by ritual and routine?
33359Or are they depths?
33359Or were we noted as food for gossip and criticism when their self- imposed ordeal was done?
33359Says I,"Was that a bird at the magistrate''s that flapped so loud?"
33359We will not molest you, but we refuse to accept your terms''?
33359What could they have done?
33359What, then, drove them on?
33359When Colonel Younghusband put the question direct to a head Lama in open durbar,''Have you news of the Dalai Lama?
33359Where else can one find a racecourse, polo- ground, fishing, and shooting, and a rainfall that is little more than a third of that of Darjeeling?
33359Who can tell what they think or what they wish, these undivinable creatures?
33359Who knows?
33359Why could we not have left at least one city out of bounds?
33359Why do n''t they send up the--th Light Cavalry?''
33359Why should he?
33359Why should not the Tibetans, who are of the same stock, yield themselves to enlightenment?
33359Why should they?
33359Why, in the name of all their Bodhisats and Munis, did they not run?
33359Why, then, deal with China at all?
33359You do n''t understand?
33359_ Officer coming up_:''... Up above Phari ideal country for native cavalry, is n''t it?...
16261Is it well with thee, my lord?
16261_ Do you ask me who she was,--the beautiful Sië- Thao? 16261 And the Spirit of the Furnace made answer unto him with roaring of fire:_ Canst thou divide a Soul?
16261And the Spirit of the Furnace mysteriously answered him with muttering of fire:"_ Canst thou give ghost unto a stone?
16261But whither, whither?
16261But whither, whither?
16261Did she not say she was wedded to Ping- Khang?
16261Did she not sing the songs of Kao- pien?
16261Ere he could speak a word, Pelou demanded:"Son, in what place have you been passing your nights?"
16261Had she ever done aught to merit the malediction of an ascetic?
16261Has Thought feet, that man may perceive the trace of its passing?
16261Hast thirst?
16261How shall man lend the aspect of sentient life to dead clay?
16261Knowest thou not, also, that the people of my kingdom are the first- born of the Master of Heaven?
16261O thou most pitiless god!--thou whom I have worshipped with ten thousand sacrifices!--for what fault hast thou abandoned me?
16261This is the way of..._ Her_ form, too, unsubstantial, unreal, an illusion only, though comeliest of illusions?
16261Unto whom was it first given to discover the divine art of porcelain?
16261Was the merit of the giver illusive also,--illusive like the grace of the supple fingers that gave?
16261Was this death?
16261Was this languor of the Will a signal of coming peril, the peril of slumber?
16261What marvel had been wrought?
16261What was she?
16261Who first discovered the virtue of the curd- white clay?
16261Who save the Infinite can give soul?"
16261Why not permit him to slumber in my house during the season of snow?"
16261Wouldst pray?
16261Wouldst sacrifice?
16261ever render the aspect of flesh made to creep with the utterance of a Word, sentient to the titillation of a Thought, if thou wilt not aid me?"
16261for what error hast thou forsaken me?
16261was everything a dream?
16261why should he curse her?
49121Do you think it will be pretty? 49121 If he is a man of letters,"they ask,"why is he dressed like a colonel?"
49121Well,he questioned,"how did it go?
49121And the women, wo n''t they freeze in their evening gowns?
49121Are there hidden princesses and treasures here?
49121Barbarians have been this way,--but which?
49121Do you think it will be a little unusual?
49121Had they been abandoned?
49121Has some one lived here in our time or was it in the distant past?
49121Her body?
49121How could one fancy oneself in China, in Pekin itself, so near to mysterious enclosures, to palaces so full of wonders?
49121How many hours-- or how many centuries-- has he been gone, and who could he have been, the occupant of the abandoned room?
49121How to get them away without looking like pillagers in the eyes of the servants and guards we meet on the way back is the question?
49121In this dry, powdery soil how can the new wheat grow, which here and there makes squares of really fresh green in the midst of the infinite grays?
49121In what far- away forest did the trees grow that permitted such groves to be created out of one single piece?
49121Is it a fortress, a prison, or something more lugubrious still?
49121Jumping Jacks?
49121Monkeys?
49121Possibly they will again destroy my churches; who knows?
49121The air is soft and moist.--Is it the summer of the North, or the winter of a warm climate?
49121To be a soldier such as he was, to make yourself loved like a little child, could there be anything more beautiful?"
49121What are we to do?
49121What can it be that keeps itself rolled up like a ball, and has such a long tail?
49121What can they be?
49121What could I do, with my borrowed"mafou"and my revolver, if my appearance did not happen to please them?
49121What distorted views of life had been bequeathed to him of the things of this world and of the world beyond?
49121What do all these gruesome symbols signify to him?
49121What do their Asiatic brains make of all this French gaiety?
49121What of the illuminations, of the awnings?
49121What shall we do, since it is to take place in the open air on the terraces of the palace, if the north wind should blow?
49121What sort of a reception shall we have in this mysterious enclosure?
49121What was the real character of this dreamer, who shall ever say?
49121What will be their fate?
49121What, then, was Europe doing?
49121Where are we to lay our heads?
49121Where are we, then, in what obscure, closed, clandestine dwelling?
49121Who knows what has been done with the body?
49121Who lived here, then, sequestered behind so many walls,--walls more terrible by far than those of our western prisons?
49121Why should there be three of them?
49121Why should this desert be enclosed by the city''s walls?
49121Would not a supreme attack against them be attempted, an effort be made to destroy them before the allied troops could enter?
49121what was your impression of it all?"
34167And Jean- Marie? 34167 Are you content patiently to await all the horrors of the future?
34167Do these monsters pray?
34167Do you see the three boats yonder?
34167Hate the men as much as you like,said one of his companions,"but why be so cruel as to kill the women?
34167Is he English?
34167Was n''t she some pirate''s mother?
34167What more can I know of the horrors of the sea,I asked myself,"if it be not to make it my grave?"
34167Will you then do nothing?
34167Would they lie at anchor if they were pursued?
34167Are you below?
34167Being so wretched, what more had I to fear?
34167Can you not help to disguise me?
34167Could I get it down into the sea?
34167Could it be the approach of a steamer which caused the flight of our captors?
34167Even supposing that we had come across a steamer by the way, what had we to hope?
34167Had I strength enough to row or paddle two miles?
34167Had we been separated from our companions only to die slowly of hunger, thirst, and suffocation?
34167How can you sleep while we are yet in so much danger?"
34167How shall I describe these absurd warriors, dignified by the titles of"War- tigers,"and"Mountain- splitters?"
34167I can still hear the voice of the captain calling, and counting his sailors--"Jacques, Pierre, André, Remy, Christian, Robert, where are you?"
34167I questioned my past life; I searched all the corners of my memory; I asked myself what I had done to merit this great trial?
34167I turned to Than- Sing, who was awake and listening also, and asked him what he thought could be doing overhead?
34167If even we had succeeded in weighing the anchor, what chance had we, in our dismasted state, of drifting into any place of shelter?
34167Jean- Marie?"
34167Might not the pirates even now return, and might not the steamer put off without having once perceived us?
34167Till to- morrow nothing could now be done, and who could tell what that morrow might bring forth?
34167Transferred to another junk, what might not be our fate?
34167Was it possible that they were nailing down the trap above our heads?
34167Was it possible, after all, that they were about to give up, and go back to the steamer?
34167Was it their intention to cut off my hands?
34167Was this hole destined to be our coffin and our tomb?
34167We are going to seek our fortunes-- to seek, but what to find?
34167What could they want?
34167What had we to expect?
34167What shall I do?
34167What was now to become of me, friendless and alone, in a strange and savage country?
34167What were death to one whose sufferings had already touched the bounds of human endurance?
34167What would now become of us?
34167What would they do with us?
34167Who knows what might have happened had one single drop of blood been actually shed?
34167Would not our captors sooner throw us overboard, than be taken in the fact of piracy and kidnapping on the high seas?
34167fire!--the ship is on fire-- do you hear?--what noise is that?"
34167was that anchor ever to be weighed again, or was it destined to rust away throughout all the ages of time, in the spot where it was now imbedded?
34167what if it were but a ship bound for Hong- Kong, Canton, or Macao?
34167what should we do if the pirates came back, and once more took us prisoners?
34167where are you?
44261Are you satisfied with this proposal or not?"
44261But do we not every where see government placards inviting us to submit, why do we not then send somebody to make the offer?
44261Can the bird remain quiet with strong wings, or will the fish not move in deep water?
44261Every man will charge me with the wanton murder of a commander, after he had been vanquished and his ships taken?
44261Fung yung fa said:"How then if government should not trust our word?"
44261He met him at Neaou chow, and asked him:"Why did you not come to my assistance?"
44261How can we, under such circumstances, be confident and rely on our own strength?"
44261How could these extraordinary engines have escaped the discriminating genius of Marco Polo, had they existed in China?
44261How shall I alone be able to fight the government forces?
44261If O po tae could before vanquish you quite alone, how much more can he now when he is united with government?
44261If they pursue us in the different windings and bays of the sea-- they have maps of them[47]--should we not get plenty to do?
44261If they should make extortions a second time, when should we get money to comply with their demands?
44261Is_ Lang lae_ a mistake for_ L[)u]h lae_, which is mentioned in the_ Hae kw[)o] hëen këen_, p. 214?
44261It is said that the_ Kaou chun peih mow_(?)
44261Paou addressed himself in an angry tone to Neaou sh[)i]h url, and said:"I advise you to submit, will you not follow my advice, what have you to say?"
44261Paou became enraged and said:"How is this, will you then separate from us?"
44261Paou then asked the Doctor:"Have you any commission about this matter, or not?"
44261Paou.--"Thou hast committed some crime and comest to me for protection?"
44261Paou.--"You will then know, how it stands concerning the report about our submission, if it is true or false?"

40350How can Western technology be used without the attitude of mind which has created it and brought it to operative efficiency?
40350How can a world which never knew Rome or the Normanic_ Curia Regis_ know jurisprudence?
40350How can government be studied when politics are antecedent to government?
40350How can modern government be made Chinese, when government itself has meant something far different in China from what it has meant in the West?
40350How can the standards of the modern world be divorced from their Western origins?
40350How did this shift develop?
40350How do men wield authority of any sort, while they create or destroy the machinery of authority?
40350How is it that China''s institutions survive, while those of other nations did not?
40350How is it that, with their great talents for organization, they have let a shabby third- rate militarism sweep their land in modern times?
40350How real are Chinese institutions today?
40350How, it may be asked, have the Chinese succeeded in being such a peaceful people, and yet a people so prone to popular uprising?
40350If property is insecure and the standards of wealth subject to variation, how can economic power be treated as an ultimate determinant?
40350If the rulers make and unmake the form of government almost at will, where is the real source of their power?
40350If these disappear the question arises: How can the individual conceive clearly his relationships within Chinese society?
40350Or, more dangerously: chaos or political extinction?

40350The Western world faces today the same problem that the Chinese face: How are men to agree widely enough to live together in peace?
40350The old system was threatened with ruin, and modern China faced the problem: replacement or reconstitution?
40350The problem was: could Chiang accede without ruining his prestige or impairing the ideological position he had so laboriously built up for himself?
40350Was the Nanking government a dictatorship?
40350What are these?
40350What happens when they must and yet can not effectuate such adaptation?
40350What ways of thought are there that the conquerors might tear apart from the long past, to change China into a mere geographical expression?
40350What ways of thought are there today that will absorb the conquerors?
40350What, precisely, is the Republic of China?
40350Why did their polity not break up into a wilderness of tiny social groups, each jealous and particularistic, like medieval Europe?
40350Will the Chinese preserve their national equanimity and sanity in the face of such an attitude?

19365But how can you afford to lose a day''s money like that?
19365But what about the money for all these men?
19365But why are you not working to- day? 19365 Is there too great a burden on the shoulders of the Chinese Christians?
19365Were you not sorry to see them burnt, seeing that you had prepared them so carefully, and had spent a lot of money on them?
19365What about your beads? 19365 Why do n''t you try to save him?
19365But how should she begin?
19365But where was the money to come from?
19365Could such faithful work, done through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and through the constraining love of Christ, be in vain?
19365Could the Lord have dealt more kindly with the old man, who would have had none to lovingly care for him had he passed through a long illness?
19365Did the Lord not have compassion on them, or had He ceased to care?
19365Do you know what happened last week?
19365For Christ''s sake to me; for Christ''s sake to Thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be?
19365Had the Lord changed in His love for them, or had He forgotten to be gracious?
19365Her heart is lifted up in prayer to God for a lost world; shall we let her wrestle alone, and let the cry of many a despairing soul go unheeded?
19365Her husband''s death would be at her door, for had she not angered the idols in leaving them?
19365How can you play about like this?"
19365How could she do without it?
19365It comes unto me; it comes unto thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be?
19365Now, how much is it worth?
19365On her last Sunday morning on earth she asked,"Who is coming to preach to- day?"
19365Pulling out one straw, and showing it to her, we said,"Do you see that straw?
19365Shall we not unite our voices with hers?
19365Some months before his baptism we asked him,"Grandfather Hsü, what about your boxes of clothes and all your paper money?"
19365Some one said,''I see you have a big burden, have n''t you?''
19365The writer, putting her hand on Mrs. Lü''s shoulder, said,"Mrs. Lü, what are you doing this morning?
19365This was his dream; but was it not a clear call to that man to seek the things above?
19365Was it not because he believed God and took Him simply at His word?
19365Was it possible to flee from the suffering in the next world?
19365Was there anything that could give her aching heart some comfort, her despairing soul some hope?
19365What about you?
19365What am I to do?"
19365What had happened to the man?
19365What is our part to be?
19365What is the outcome to be?
19365What might that be?
19365What more could be said?
19365What power was there in that strange religion that could make him forgo all the money a weekly day of rest meant to him and his family?
19365What was she to do?
19365What was to be done next?
19365Where are they going to be hung?"
19365Where had they gone?
19365Why did they not prosper in everything as before?
19365Why do you not call them?"
19365Why should he reveal to her what he had hidden from the other worshippers?
19365Yet, what were they to do?
62121Are you quite serious?
62121But are there no European edifices in Canton?
62121But how about wagons, carriages, and horses?
62121By the way,said a friend at my side,"do you know that once in the history of this country the Japanese throne itself was wrestled for?
62121Good morning, sir,said one of them in excellent English,"do you know Carter Harrison, of Chicago?"
62121Have you not been to Haruna, beyond Ikao?
62121How can your people live thus thinly clad, and with so little fire?
62121Must I get into this thing, and have n''t you any blankets for these horses?
62121So you are Ah Cum?
62121What is it,we exclaimed,"a winged Mercury, or a Coney Island bather rushing to the beach?"
62121What is this?
62121What places have you visited?
62121What under heaven is this?
62121Why not retrace your steps and go there now? 62121 And if so, who will guarantee that we shall not be murdered?
62121At last he gathered strength enough to ask:"But what security have you that I will repay you?"
62121But is anything good for those who lead a sedentary life?
62121But now, among so much that is disagreeable, one naturally inquires,"Are there not some redeeming features in this Chinese life?"
62121But were they really coming in just that economical style of dress?
62121Did we desire an entire story?
62121Did we insist on having separate rooms?
62121Have we a definite conception of what four hundred million human beings are?
62121How could they?
62121How do we know that his future may not be superior to our present?"
62121I exclaimed,"can any one be too happy in this world?"
62121I exclaimed,"what in the world do you mean by''precipice beef?''"
62121If such then be the state of things in the capital, what must it be in the interior towns, so rarely reached by foreigners?
62121Seeing some buildings on the opposite bank, we asked:"How do you cross here from shore to shore?
62121Shades of our childhood!--what are these?
62121Shall, then, our people die, and your lives not be required?
62121Should we approach a group of Chinese merchants in Canton, and ask any one of them"How many children have you?"
62121The motion lasted less than a minute; but what can not an earthquake do in forty seconds?
62121The only question is:"Which side is up, and which is down?"
62121What is a hundred years?
62121What matters it if those who merit death are said to have committed one crime or another?
62121What wonder, then, that tourists resort to Miyanóshita?
62121Who could resist, in such a place, the impulse to revere that Power of which these forms of nature were imperfect symbols?
62121Who shall say that there are not worse methods than this old Japanese mode of arbitration?"
62121Will this old empire ever be aroused to new activity, and can fresh life- blood be infused into her shrunken veins to animate her inert frame?
62121Will you take me?"
62121Yes, we will take you; and, first of all, can you get us safely into one of those boats?
62121Yet search the world through, and where will you find servants such as these?
39421Suppose men do reach the top of Mount Everest, what then?
39421Suppose we do establish the fact that man has the capacity to surmount the highest summit of his surroundings, of what good is that knowledge?
39421What then?
39421Why be so particular about the two?
39421A disappointment?
39421Allium Wallichii, Kunth Allium Govenianum, Wall.?
39421And how long should we require for these operations in such weather?
39421And if the snow has melted, where will ice be found?
39421And presuming Wheeler were wrong?
39421And was it not in any case an attractive summit?
39421And what more were we likely to accomplish from a camp on Chang La?
39421And what of the Sahibs?
39421And what of the final arête?
39421Are we seeing the true edge?
39421But how, if this bay were of any importance, could the glacier stream be so small?
39421But the puzzle is, how can that point be arrived at from below?
39421But what lay ahead of us?
39421Cl.?
39421Could the North col be reached from the East and how could we attain this point?
39421Could this glacier conceivably proceed in an almost level course up to Chang La, itself?
39421Drum.?
39421How could so little water drain so large an area of ice as must exist on this supposition?
39421How could they be otherwise?
39421How many days would he be absent before he came to tell his story, and what sort of story would it be?
39421Is it not a first principle of mountaineering to be as comfortable as possible as long as one can?
39421Is there an arête connecting this with the great rock peak South of Everest or is it joined up with the col we reached the day before yesterday?
39421Might we not see it from the summit of our mountain?
39421Or was it cut off much nearer to us by the high skyline which we saw beyond it?
39421Or will black and white appear in altered proportions?
39421The question is often asked,"Why twenty- nine thousand and two?"
39421Was it all composed of pinnacles?
39421Were they not to prove highways here?
39421Were we fit to push the adventure further?
39421What can be cut out next time?
39421What is to be done for a man who is sick or abnormally exhausted at these high altitudes?
39421What lay between them?
39421What was the meaning of this?
39421Where had we been?
39421Where is the limit of this process?
39421Where were we going and what should we find?
39421Why not get to the col and find out what lay beyond it?
39421Will the amount of snow on the mountain be the same in June, 1922, as twelve months before?
39421Will the multiplication of red corpuscles continue so that men may become acclimatised much higher?
39421Will the whole of the snow fallen during the monsoon of 1921 have melted before the next monsoon, and if so by what date?
39421Would he know for certain that the way was found?
39421Would it not be better to follow up this glacier from the Rongbuk Valley?
39421Would they prove an insuperable obstacle?

27021Are you one of his advance- guard?"
27021Can we stop near your camp and pick up the food that you will throw away?"
27021Had he come across some of his mates, or had he heard from the soldiers that they were in the neighborhood?

27021How could we now turn back when so near our goal?

6624Your Majesty can do it, certainly,was the reply,"but how about the consequences?"
6624), when confusion and change was going on in Tsin state; how can they take this as a fit precedent?"
6624And, even if a rare case occasionally occurred, what chances are there of any one recording it?
6624As to the bulk of the Japanese race, be it mixed or unmixed, it is surely in the main to be found now where it always was, or close by?
6624CHAPTER XVI LAND AND PEOPLE What sort of folk were the masses of China, upon whom the ruling classes depended, then as now, for their support?
6624Do you think the state of_ Cheng_ will last out your life?
6624He observed when in Lu:"We only know how to knot our hair in Wu; what could we do with such fine clothes as you wear?"
6624How can the superiors maintain their patrimonies?
6624How can they now respect their superiors( having book to go by)?
6624How is Ts''i going on?
6624How much more, then, must we be ignorant about the Japanese movements?
6624I did see rogues on the stage, it is true, but none of them looked like a Ts''i man; hence I asked,''What is it?''"
6624If superiors and commoners confuse degree, how can the state go on?
6624If the celestial movements can be foretold, why not corresponding terrestrial movements, each corner of the earth being on the meridian of something?
6624If you are doing it with a view to pacify the people, surely you will not find this an easy matter?
6624In 535 the Ts''in administration consulted its own astrologer upon the point:"Will the state of Ch''en survive?"
6624Lastly, are there any_ proved_ instances of such radical tamperings with history by the Chinese annalists as M. Chavannes suggests?
6624Naturally every one asked:"What is that?"
6624Not many years after that, when the future Second Protector was making his terms with the King of Ts''u, he remarked:"What can I do for you in return?
6624On being refused, he said:"Do you forget my ancestor''s services to the father of the Chou founder?"
6624Once in Tsin it was asked, about a prisoner:"Who is that southernhatted fellow?"
6624Or:"If the people we find at A. must have come from B., whence did the people at B. come, before they went to A.?"
6624The Chinese historians have no statistics, indulge in fen( few?)
6624The old Tartar blood and Tartar sympathies of the First August Emperor must surely re- appear in a policy so incompatible with all orthodox teaching?
6624Under these circumstances, even if they did not want to gain the people over, how can they avoid it?
6624What can they do to me?"
6624What could the semi- Tartar ruler of Ts''in have known of all these wearisome refinements in pomp, mourning, and music?
6624What do you propose to do?
6624What is the use of that?''
6624When did the ruling house ever before reach the low depths of to- day?
6624Where were the written laws in those times?
6624Which of us does not begin to furbish up his pedigree when he is made a peer of the realm?
6624Why is it that the book which Lao- tsz wrote at the request of a friend is not alluded to by any writer previous to 100 B.C.?
6624Why is that life so scant, and why does the writer of it allude to"other stories"current about him?
6624Why should Duke Muh trouble himself about the rites due to members of the Ki family, to which the Emperor belonged, but he himself did not?
6624Will this apply to present conditions?"
6624and was never heard of again?"
6624do not attempt to decide are: Why is the life of Lao- tsz not given to us earlier than 100 B.C.?
6624if the king slays one of his officers, who can avenge it?

42732What advantage or what point did we ever gain,he wrote,"by negotiating or humbling ourselves before these people, or rather before their Government?
42732What will you do, sir, if they fire?
42732: Tsze- kung asked, saying,"Is there one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one''s life?"
42732And at the close of the Portuguese campaign:"I wonder if Alcock knows that he has got the decoration of the Tower and Sword?
42732And in either case would it not have been better to have had the point cleared up before undertaking the mission?
42732Are they all for Namoa?
42732But imports of what?
42732But this is surely remarkable testimony from the Minister of Great Britain who was charged with the protection of his nationals[13] from wrong?
42732But what was it precisely that he approved of?
42732But what, then, is the secret of dealing with the Chinese which so many able men, not certainly intending to make failures, have missed?
42732But why"massacre,"much or little?
42732Can it be doubted which left the deeper impression?
42732Do you go farther up the coast?"
42732For where was the"difficulty,"one is tempted to ask?
42732How can these foreigners then remain unawed?
42732How did these various occurrences influence the progress of diplomatic relations with the Government?
42732How has such a gigantic displacement been brought about?
42732How was one to take advantage of the opening, and be first in the field?
42732How, then, were they likely to regard the, to them, infinitely greater outrage of resident foreign Ministers in the sacred capital itself?
42732If our former treaty needed a material guarantee for its execution, how much more this one?
42732Is it the cause that inspires him, or is it only devotion to his immediate leader?
42732Is it the fighting instinct, hereditary heroism, or military discipline that makes the soldier?
42732Or are we to interfere and insist upon justice being administered not according to their usages, but ours?
42732That is saying a good deal, but how could it be otherwise than satisfactory?
42732The Master said,"Is not RECIPROCITY such a word?
42732The Prince looked aghast, then said solemnly,"Do you mean to say we have been deceived?"
42732The mandarin opened by the direct questions,"How many chests have you on board?
42732The world rested securely enough on the tortoise, but what did the tortoise itself rest on?
42732These opinions may be false or true in their foundation, that is not the question, but, What is the influence they are calculated to exercise?
42732Though it be allowed that the foreign guns are powerful and effective, can their ammunition be employed for any long period and not be expended?
42732To the first four great commercial objects involved in our relations with China, as above specified, shall we sacrifice the fifth?
42732Was it so much as conceivable that it would be voluntarily carried out?
42732Was it, then, greater knowledge, or superior judgment, that inspired Lord Elgin to an opposite opinion?
42732Were not this preferable to the fruitless proclamations and manifestos of government?"
42732What advantage or what point, again, have we ever lost that was just and reasonable, by acting with promptitude and vigour?
42732What did I find on my return?
42732What is the explanation of this continuous repetition of the same mistake?
42732What said the imperial decree published in the''Peking Gazette''?
42732What was the official charged with the protection of his countrymen to do?
42732What, under these circumstances, was the"present value"of the treaty?
42732Whence, it is pertinent to ask, came this sudden access of vigour in the British representative?
42732Which of these is the more important in a national point of view,--the commerce, or the revenue derived from it?
42732Why should they?
42732Why was nothing done to protect them at least from the consequences of this misrule?
42732Why?
2330And if so, what is it?
2330Animals,he argues,"do not become spirits after death; why should man alone undergo this change?
2330Any slip of a boy may be that,replied Ch''in;"why not I?"
2330But all men die whether they have found the truth or not, urged the questioner; what then is the difference between them? 2330 But,"argued the Sage,"we support our dogs and our horses; without reverence, what is there to distinguish one from the other?"
2330Has God a head?
2330Has God a surname?
2330Has God feet?
2330Has God got ears?
2330How do you know that?
2330If the soul comes back, the man lives, answered Mou; but if it does not, whither does it go? 2330 If then spirits have neither sound nor form nor substance, are they consequently non- existent?
2330Is consciousness dispersed after death, or does it still exist?
2330Of course,replied the disbeliever,"many people have seen and heard spirits; but is there any instance of a properly verified appearance?"
2330What have these creatures to do with the matter?
2330Where is He?
2330Another question was,"As Nu- ch''i had no husband, how could she bear nine sons?"
2330At death the soul reverts to its original state: how then can it possess consciousness?
2330But if men sacrifice men, who will enjoy the offering?"
2330But why wait until time is pressing, and man''s skill of no further avail?
2330Can it be possible that what man regards as evil, God regards as good, and_ vice versa_?
2330Can you expect your prayers to be answered?"
2330Did not God give her comfort?
2330Did not Lao Tzu say,''The reason why I suffer so much is because I have a body''?
2330From of old until now the people have constantly seen and heard spiritual beings; how then can you say they do not exist?
2330Had He not accepted her sacrifice, So that thus easily she brought forth her son?
2330How can it become a spirit?
2330How did she give birth to them?
2330How is praying for rain asking a favour?
2330How so?
2330How then can you ask what is the difference?"
2330How then should we dare to offer up a man?
2330If He allows good men to be put upon, and evil men to be a source of fear, is not this to admit that God has His likes and dislikes?
2330If He had no feet, how could He step?"
2330If He had not ears, how could He hear it?"
2330If he is already dead, to whom do they call?
2330If something brushes against me, and I grab at, but do not seize it,--is that a spirit?
2330If the five sacrificial animals may not be used promiscuously, how much less can a feudal prince be offered up?"
2330If there is something in the room, and I look for it but can not see it,--is that a spirit?
2330If they had never seen nor heard them, could people say that they existed?"
2330Is it that God is unable to determine the characteristics of each, and lets each follow its own bent and develop good or evil accordingly?
2330It is not; for if spirits are soundless and formless, how can they have substance?
2330So long as God does not destroy this wisdom, what can the people of K''uang do to me?"
2330Some are wanting in virtue, and will not acknowledge their transgressions; only when God chastens them do they cry, What are we to do?"
2330The envoy took upon himself to catechise the philosopher, with the following result:--"You are engaged in study, are you not?"
2330To one who asked about God, he replied,"What have I to do with God?
2330Wei Tao Tzu asked Yu Li Tzu, saying,"Is it true that God loves good and hates evil?"
2330What crime have my people committed now, That God sends down death and disorder, And famine comes upon us again?
2330Where then is God''s love of good and hatred of evil?"
2330Where then shall God be found?
2330Why in spring and summer?
2330Why not in autumn and winter?
2330Why so?
26744And how do you propose to go there?
26744And may I ask whence you come and whither you are going?
26744And your honourable second name?
26744Are you going in that direction?
26744Are you going to Hai- ning?
26744Are you going to Kia- hing Fu?
26744Do n''t you see the wind is coming? 26744 How much may that be?"
26744How much money will you give us?
26744What is it?
26744What may be your honourable profession?
26744Why,I asked in surprise,"has Amelia broken her promise?
26744Will you give me a passage as far as you do go that way?
26744You are a physician, are you?
26744And are we not told to seek first the kingdom of GOD, not means to advance it, and that all these things shall be added to us?
26744At last a man responded,"Are you a guest from Shih- mun- wan?"
26744But had not GOD said that whatever we ask in the Name of the LORD JESUS shall be done?
26744But scarcely had I opened my lips with"Our FATHER who art in heaven"than conscience said within,"Dare you mock GOD?
26744Could that which was wrong for one Christian to do be right for an association of Christians?
26744Dare you kneel down and call Him FATHER with that half- crown in your pocket?"
26744He answered,"What would be the good of that?"
26744How do you write it?"
26744How long shall this continue, and the MASTER''S words,"To every creature,"remain unheeded?
26744I said to him in the quietest tone, but so as to convince him that I was not, nor had been, sleeping,"What do you want?"
26744Is it so hard- hearted, so wicked a thing to neglect to save the body?
26744Is there any spirit of prayer on our behalf among GOD''s people in Kilsyth?
26744Need I say that peace at once flowed into my burdened heart?
26744Now arose in my mind the question, Ought not this sum also to be tithed?
26744Of how much sorer punishment, then, is he worthy who leaves the soul to perish, and Cain- like says,"Am I my brother''s keeper?"
26744Oh, why did you not come sooner?"
26744Or could any amount of precedents make a wrong course justifiable?
26744Ought I not, for her sake, to speak about the matter of the salary?
26744Shall we say to_ Him_,"No, it is not convenient"?
26744The next question was,"How am I to go?"
26744The thought passed through my mind,"Why does the author use this expression?
26744The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing"--and if not good, why want it?
26744Then came the thought,"If the whole work was finished and the whole debt paid, what is there left for me to do?"
26744There was no doubt that if faith did not fail, GOD would not fail; but, then, what if one''s faith should prove insufficient?
26744What circumstances could have rendered the Word of GOD more sweet, the presence of GOD more real, the help of GOD more precious?
26744What was I to do?
26744What was finished?
26744While thus engaged I said to the landlord,"I suppose I can arrange to spend the night here?"
26744Why live I here?
26744Yet, what was I to do?
26744and He that keepeth_ thy_ soul, doth not he know it?
26744and shall not He render to every man according to his works?"
26744might repeat the same question to- day?
26744or is there any effort to seek this spirit?
26744or will my want of faith and power with GOD prove to be so serious an obstacle as to preclude my entering upon this much- prized service?"
26744shall we tell_ Him_ that we are busy fishing and can not go?
26744that we have bought a piece of ground and can not go?
26744that we have purchased five yoke of oxen, or have married, or are engaged in other and more interesting pursuits, and can not go?
26744why not say the atoning or propitiatory work of CHRIST?"
14492Can they heal the sick?
14492Can_ girls_ learn anything?
14492Do you know what that means? 14492 How can you go''round''a''square''?"
14492Is it true they have been studying for four years in a foreign land?
14492Is self- supporting work a missionary work? 14492 What makes these girls look so different from the other Chinese women who come here?"
14492Will they live in Kiukiang?
14492After a while one of the girls came back and said,''My face is clean now, is it not?''
14492An explanation of this was afforded Dr. Hü, by a remark which she overheard:"How can we stand having this hospital closed?
14492And if all money received goes again into the work, to increase its efficiency, why may it not be counted missionary?
14492As she was starting for Chicago at the end of May, she wrote Dr. Danforth:"Do you think I shall be able to see much clinic in two weeks?
14492As the company slowly proceeded up the Bund, the missionaries were besieged with eager questions:"Are they Chinese women?"
14492As they came up an old woman who carried one corner of the bamboo bed called out,''Doctor, have you opened your accounts yet?''
14492Assuredly yes; for is not the money thus gained used in giving relief to the poor?...
14492But what did you call the writing on the stones in the graveyard?
14492Can any one dare to think,''What is the use to teach these Chinese people?''"
14492Can not Mrs. Ahok make an exception and come on this occasion?"
14492Do you think we ought to refuse that offer, which is a wonderful one, because the church has only just been established there?
14492Finally the woman said,"Why do n''t you answer me?
14492He wanted me to do what?
14492How can we undertake to help spread medical education in China with the limited means at our command?
14492How could you hear unless I came to tell you?
14492How could you know the needs of China without hearing them?
14492How do you suppose he found out about the matter?
14492How many physicians are there to minister to this vast mass of humanity?
14492I have never seen_ them_ yet; so why should I come so far to see other places?
14492I left my little boy, my husband, my mother-- all this: for what purpose, do you think?
14492I said,''Do you want me, or do you want the idols?
14492If we ask,''What would Jesus do?''
14492If_ you_ can not, will you cause others to come, by sending them and doing what you can to help them to come?"
14492Is n''t that splendid?"
14492Missionary work?
14492No one could resist Dr. Mary Stone''s persuasive tones as she went up and down the aisles asking,''Wo n''t you join?''
14492One morning as she was going down to breakfast some one asked,"How is our little China girl this morning?"
14492One woman who heard her sing asked,"Why do you let her go back?
14492Shall we simply take unto ourselves a few students as assistants, and after training them for a few years turn them out as doctors?
14492So she asked an old"literary man"standing near her,"Ibah, are you glad to see us building?
14492So what do you think I do?
14492So wherever we go we must think how to benefit our people, and not do as we please, and then how can we be proud?"
14492The first question asked was,"Please give your reasons for coming to study medicine?"
14492The_ New York Herald_ gave a long and enthusiastic report of her work, ending with the words:"''Am I not fortunate?
14492Was that a prescription or a proscription?"
14492Was that a prescription or a subscription?"
14492What was it we had in church last Sunday?
14492When she would ask,"Can you stand them a little tighter?"
14492Where comes the time and strength to teach the students as they should be taught?
14492Will you buy one-- a good one-- for me?"
14492Will you come back to China with me?"
14492You wonder how I know it?
27243After all what would he have had to sacrifice had he followed Jesus? 27243 Are you aware that I have been a Christian for twelve years, and that I am known far and wide by Chinese and foreigners alike?"
27243Did you say_ twelve_ years a Church member?

27243Had he been informed correctly that we had been appointed to carry on the work in Hwochow?
27243How could they be filled?
27243Immediately upon the conclusion of my business he asked:"Is that Miss French of Taiyüanfu?

21661How was it that no one seemed to be laughing and enjoying himself out of all the crowd?

522Chi,I asked,"do you have any such games as host and guest, or games in which the large boys protect the small ones?"
522Chi,we asked,"what kind of games do boys play?"
522Did you ever hear this one?
522Do the Chinese have no other kinds of toy animals?
522Do you have any other guessing games?
522Do you know any games?
522Do you know any of these stories?
522For instance?
522Have you any games more vigorous than this?
522Have you any other games which develop the protective instinct in boys?
522Have you any other games which require strength?
522How high were they?

522What have they done?
522What is it for?
522What is that game you were playing a few days ago in which you used one stick to knock another?
522What is that game,we inquired of Chi,"the boys on the street play with two marbles?"
522What is that?
522What is the knife for?
522What is your name?
522What rhymes?
522What shall we play?
522What were you playing a few days ago when all the boys lay in a straight line?

522Finally, as it began to dawn on him that I was talking of his son, he asked:"Whom are you talking about?"
522Headland?"
522Hsin?"
522I followed him but how could I catch a man on horseback?"
522If you want them we can play any number of them for you, but what will you do with them after you get them?"
522In imagination I can see the reader raise his eyebrows and mutter,"Do the Chinese eat crows?"

522Returning she asked:"How is this that one of my flowers is gone?"
522They walked up to the girl digging and engaged in the following conversation:"What are you digging?"
522We said to Mr. Hsin,"Foreigners say the Chinese do not have dolls, how is that?"
522We want the monkey show, may we have it?"
522What do you see in the earth, pray tell?

29683''And ca n''t An Ching come with us?''
29683''And did you get my letter?''
29683''And what if she does?''
29683''But what plan?''
29683''But,''said Chang,''if we get the children, are we to keep them here until they are taken back to Peking?''
29683''Do you know where she is?''
29683''Do you think I shall let him go to the Legation?''
29683''Do you think your father will give money to have you back?''
29683''How can it be managed?''
29683''How can you expect me to know how to make"Hung"and"Li"?''
29683''How did you manage to find us?''
29683''How do you feel, An Ching?''
29683''How do you mean to do it?''
29683''How is it that you can sing that hymn?
29683''However did you find us?''
29683''Oh dear,''she sobbed,''why do n''t they let us out?
29683''Oh, what will my mother do?''
29683''So he is not going to take us to some other place?
29683''To be sure,''said Chang,''and are we not living pretty comfortably on the type- cutting I get from the missionaries in Peking?
29683''Was that you singing?''
29683''Well, have you thought of a plan to get hold of those children?''
29683''What are the others doing, and where are they?''
29683''What are you doing here?''
29683''What are you looking at?''
29683''What can be done?''
29683''What does it matter?
29683''What does this mean?''
29683''What is the matter?''
29683''What is the matter?''
29683''Whatever is the matter?''
29683''Where are they?''
29683''Who is An Ching?''
29683''Who?
29683''Why did you do this?''
29683''Why do you want to keep us?''
29683''Why me?''
29683''Yes,''grunted Ku Nai- nai,''and what''s to prevent the child telling her father where to find us in Yung Ching?''
29683''Yes,''said An Ching,''but who is to write it?''
29683''You are sure she wo n''t tell her mother- in- law or any female friends who come to the house?''
29683''You shall come as my maid to England; but you ca n''t do much, can you?
29683''You surely did not tell about those children?''
29683''You will make Hung Li give up An Ching and take her with us, father, wo n''t you?''
29683Are you sure she is to be trusted?''
29683Are you sure you can?''
29683Are you well?''
29683But would Little Yi consent?
29683CHAPTER XIII THE ROAD TO PEKING''Now what are you going to do?''
29683Chang, after making sure that Hung Li was not looking, quickly put his head forward and asked under his breath,''To Peking?''
29683Chang, who was still at his post, took away all An Ching''s embarrassment by greeting her with:''Is the young Ku Nai- nai well?''
29683Could you be here to- morrow morning while the women are brushing their hair?''
29683Do Catholics sing"Art thou weary,"I wonder?
29683Have I ever heard of any missionaries who live at Yung Ching?
29683He continued:''How is it that you have large feet?
29683How is Baby Buckle?
29683It may rain, and then what shall I do?
29683May n''t I tell her about you?
29683Please will you tell me your name?''
29683Should I ask Ku Nai- nai if there are any Christians in Yung Ching?
29683Suppose our son had been stolen, what should we have done?
29683What did they mean to do with her?
29683What do you mean?''
29683Where can I hide it?
29683Where do you live?''
29683Wo n''t your mother be miserable too?''
29683Wo n''t yours?
29683Would n''t you like to learn some English to begin with?''
29683Would you come with me and leave the Chinese girl?''
29683You do n''t suppose I want to adopt the children?
29683and Bob and Bessie and Arthur, and all the other children?
29683sighed Nelly,''shall we ever get home?''
19172But where is it?
19172But why, señor?
19172But''Australia''--where is it?
19172Do we believe that these millions are without hope in the next world? 19172 How far is it now?"
19172How many honourable and distinguished sons have you?
19172Pardon me, Caballero,he said,"but will you do me the favour to tell me where you come from?"
19172Pardon me, but will you do me the favour to look at this basin?
19172Sir,he said,"do you wish anything?"
19172The Chinese? 19172 Then you have a Chinese interpreter?
19172What do I think of him?
19172What is your noble and exalted occupation?
19172What is your noble patronymic?
19172What kind of a man is D.?
19172What pidgin belong you?
19172Where from?
19172You speak Chinese, of course?
19172A Chinese servant who can speak English?
19172An English companion who can speak Chinese?
19172And what is his reward?
19172Any relation?
19172But why does China grow this poppy?
19172But why should they look south?
19172But without doubt you are armed?
19172Ca n''t you see I do n''t understand a word you say, you benighted heathen you?
19172Could I get him a bottle of hair- dye?
19172Could I give him any higher praise than that?
19172Could anything be simpler?
19172He continues--"How many tens of thousands of pieces of silver have you?"
19172How much longer are we to persist in regarding the Chinese, as they now are, as a warlike power?
19172In England this creek would be spanned by a bridge; but the poor heathen, in China, how do they find their way across the stream?
19172In the same time how many hundreds of unoffending Chinese have been murdered in civilised foreign countries?
19172Surely they will come to blows?
19172Their fates were in his hands; which master should the Italian serve, the French or the Burmese?
19172Town?"
19172We went on another six li, when again he asked me:"Teacher Mô, how many li to Santien?"
19172What did he mean by that?
19172What do you think of him?"
19172What is to be their condition beyond the grave?
19172What part?"
19172What was his probable tenure of life?
19172What was the dispute?
19172Which half should he hang, when all were equally guilty?
19172Which is to be our colonist, the Asiatic or the Englishman?
19172Who could ever have expected to meet_ you_ here?"
19172gustar?_"is not meant to be accepted.
19172he asked-- meaning what is your business?
19172meaning how many daughters have you?
19172my dear friends, may I say one word about that condition?
19172so then you come from Austria?"
19172what are they?''
12344And what was it?
12344Are you not ashamed to fight with children?
12344How old do you think I am?
12344Is Her Majesty the Empress- Dowager agreeable to receiving me as British Minister?
12344Look,said he suddenly, addressing the table in his most charming manner,"did you ever see sherry exactly like that before?
12344May I offer you my boutonnière?
12344Then is she willing to have me leave the Inspectorate?
12344Then you have too much work to do?
12344Was not that an excellent idea?
12344We must have a chat about old times,said he cordially;"when may I come and see you-- on Tuesday?"
12344Well, are you willing?
12344What can I do?
12344What has happened?
12344What is your secret power of settling a difficult matter?
12344What,retorted Hart, astonished,"is the list published already?"
12344Why do you not ask me to give you this amount?
12344Will he come back a heathen?
12344After this little victory the Governor of the school remarked to him:"Now you see what you can do when you try, Hart; why do n''t you try?"
12344And why?
12344Anything to declare?"
12344But what could he do beyond asking Mr. Campbell politely if there was any other matter about which he would like to speak?
12344But what hope had he of being heard?
12344Can you not make peace with him for me?"
12344Could it be a Censor had denounced some one and enquiries were to be made?
12344Do you not think that my going will be an excellent opportunity for you to send some of your people to see a little of the world?"
12344Do you notice its peculiar colour?
12344Eight weeks of doing nothing,--what more could a man expect?"
12344How could order be brought out of chaos?
12344How has he done it?
12344How shall I collect them?"
12344I believe not once but a dozen times in an afternoon he would turn to the boy and ask wistfully,"Who are you?"
12344I wonder if their ghosts have a sense of humour, and if they ever chuckle a little over the trick Fate played on them when they were helpless?
12344Is he small?
12344Might he telegraph it home to his Government?
12344Naturally he refused to do either of these things; how could he possibly agree to such quixotic demands?
12344News?
12344Nobody, indeed?
12344Shall I tell you the secret-- or what he often laughingly said was the secret?
12344So will you please tell me what happened in the latter place?"
12344The Chinese officials_ could_ not listen and his own countrymen_ would_ not, so where was he to turn?
12344The first thing the Minister said to him was,"Have you sent that telegram?"
12344The man who would cheat time should live on nuts like the squirrels( do they contrive to do it, I wonder?).
12344Therefore, when we give rewards, shall we not give them where they are justly due?"
12344Was ever an arrival more providential?
12344Was ever simpler or saner method discovered for warding off old age?
12344Was ever stranger complaint made by servant to master?
12344Was it about the finances of the provinces?
12344What could the change mean?
12344What do you think they said, now, before I came up to Peking?
12344What more natural?
12344What was more natural, since he was destined to"wag his head in a pulpit?"
12344Why not seek to soften the hearts of his captors by a_ kotow_ as profound as it was novel; why not stand on his head?
12344Why not, indeed?
12344Would they?
12344Yet what could they do to circumvent these innovations?
12344and after they had spoken with him for ten minutes,"Can he be all that?"
12344half laughingly remarked,"So you are going to fight China after all?
12344one might ask, and another-- but never aloud--"Will he come at all?"
12344say about such and such a thing?"
39486And is there nothing we can do for you?
39486Asked me to do?
39486But are you really going to eat them?
39486But we have come at daylight,they replied, with amazement in their looks;"what is it now but daylight?"
39486But why engage to bear so heavy a load? 39486 Did you die on such a date and were you eighteen years of age then?"
39486Do you find that your grave is dry or wet?
39486Do you mean me?
39486Do you really think I would cheat you? 39486 How far have you travelled with your load?"
39486How is it, then, that these three have come so much earlier in the day than is the custom with opium smokers?
39486How old am I?
39486Is your name Pearl?
39486May I ask,said the doctor, with a smiling face,"what people generally call you?"
39486Well, when you were a girl what did your mother call you?
39486What do you mean? 39486 What does the mistress mean?"
39486What have you gained to- day in your appeal to the goddess?
39486What is its weight?
39486What is the matter,I asked,"and why do you stop?"
39486What is the matter,I at last asked,"and why are you making such a row over your meal?"
39486What need is there,they replied,"to search for other bearers, when you have us, who are perfectly willing to make the return journey with you?"
39486Yes, I mean you,he said;"what is your name?"
39486Yes, I mean you; how old are you?
39486You ask me what answer I have got to my petition to the goddess?
39486You mean me?
39486You mean my name?
39486A person comes along who asks them what they are talking about?
39486And is it any marvel that this should happen?
39486Are you acquainted with the wiles of the Chinese mind, or will you accept everything you are told as though it were gospel truth?
39486Are you not afraid of teaching him to be a liar?
39486Are you shrewd and wideawake, or are you so green that you can be cheated with your eyes open?
39486But how amid the maze of narrow streets shall he find a shop where he shall be able to make his selection?
39486Coming to her turn to be treated, the doctor said to her,"What is your name?"
39486Confucius replied,"Whilst we do not know sufficiently of life, how can we know anything about death?"
39486Did you expect us to come without having had our breakfast?
39486Do you know where it is?"
39486Do you see this man?"
39486Does he understand his work?
39486Have you the medicine you just now spoke of as essential in my case?
39486He must be guilty, for how otherwise would he be here charged with this offence?
39486How could one expect that it should?
39486How could we come earlier with all these things to do?
39486How did it come about that your mother gave it you?"
39486In this case there was no one to bring any complaint before the authorities; for what was the crime?
39486Is he good- tempered, or is he touchy and masterful, and, like most Chinese, does he want his own way?
39486Knowing this peculiarity of the Chinese mind, you repeat your order, and you ask him if he knows where the post- office is?
39486The question often arises, how is it they are all so identical?
39486Was it safe, therefore, for him under these circumstances to accept the offer that had been made him, or should he reject it?
39486Were we really labouring under a mistake, and were the broad daylight and the great sun that glared down upon us simply visions of the imagination?
39486What had her conduct got to do with the favour of the goddess?
39486What motive could he bring before them to induce them bravely to meet death?
39486Where can it have got to?"
39486Who are these men that thrust themselves so prominently upon the notice of the stranger and the traveller?
39486Why delay?
39486Why should not some of them be, say, a foot or two longer, and a few inches wider, so as to anticipate the needs of a growing family?
39486Will you watch everything that is going on in your kitchen, or will you leave the full control in his hands?
39486You are astonished, and you ask him, with a look of wonder on your face, what he means and what he intends doing?
39486You say to a man, for example, more for the purpose perhaps of having something to say than anything else,"How old are you?"
39486of course we are; you would not have us waste the food, would you?
56089But would the American Government assist China in bearing the responsibilities of such a step?
56089Could the Allies, even with the assistance of the United States, win a decisive victory?
56089Do you not think that General Tuan should leave Peking?
56089Have you not,the Premier asked me,"found me always candid and true?"
56089What form,I asked,"has the Chinese answer taken?"
56089What is the present state of the war, and what the relative strength or degree of exhaustion of the belligerent parties?
56089What is the purpose of your government?
56089What substitute for this protection do you suggest?
56089What, then, will happen at the conclusion of the war?
56089What,the Premier asked,"may be expected of America by way of direct military action?
56089Will you remove the American marines,he queried,"from the Chienmen Tower?"
56089--"If you try to punish us, we shall all go away; and then what will become of the orphan asylum?"
56089A New World War Coming?
56089But the Premier met all my explanations with:"What can we do?
56089But when the minister I saw most frequently would ask:"But what will you do to maintain these rights you have so often asserted?"
56089CHAPTER XXVIII A NEW WORLD WAR COMING?
56089Could foreign financial action and influence in China be gathered up into a unit?
56089Could it be made to build for the whole of China, not tear it down in its several parts?
56089Did he not remember the Treaty of 1903 and America''s long- continued interest in Chinese currency betterment?
56089Do you not know that Japanese engineers were formerly employed there?"
56089Do you suppose that some of our friends in China would wish to contribute?"
56089England and her European allies, it was determined, had"gone broke"; if there was to be a Consortium of lenders to China, would America lead the way?
56089I could not explain its purposes; but when my visitor asked:"Does this paper recognize the paramount position of Japan in China?"
56089If not, will she not lead in a reorganization loan joined by several powers?"
56089Not perceiving anything unusual to which his expression of horror could refer, I asked,"What?"
56089Now what shall we do?"
56089Now will not the United States independently finance China?
56089Or again:"Are you not weary of the domineering attitude of the foreign ministers in Peking?
56089Questions came from all directions:"Is this action to be immediate?"
56089Should they await its delivery, or try to placate the Japanese by further concessions?
56089Should we stand together, who could close the door in our face?"
56089The Premier asked:"Why not go ahead with the development of mining and iron manufacture?
56089The chauffeur had said:"Is your old man going to sign up?
56089The present American administration might withdraw its"pretensions"; but what if they should be resumed in future?
56089Then also our people, having grown wise, will be sure to shout:"Why was not this stopped while there was yet time?"
56089Two days later the representative of the London_ Times_, who had been out of town, asked me casually:"Has anything happened?"
56089Was a new one looming?
56089Was not here a vindication of distinct priority enjoyed by Japan in China?
56089Was not this the entering wedge for a complete control of Chinese military affairs by Japan?
56089Was she to get the rest?
56089What exceptions would be made?
56089What matters the woe of the whole nation by the side of the joy and happiness of our own families?"
56089What should she do?
56089Why are they so slow to come in?"
56089Why may she not have the raw materials for them?"
56089Why not hold her in a prison somewhere in Germany until the war is over?"
56089With eyes of real sadness he looked me full in the face, saying:"What shall we do?
56089With whom would he ally himself?
56089Would China longer freely coöperate with the other Allies?
56089Would it also mean the end of sinister intrigue in China?
56089Would it not be useful if the American Government would confirm Mr. Bryan''s statement?
56089Would not Chinese militarism be strengthened and made obedient to Japanese policy?
56089Would not this alone be ample security for a large conservancy loan?
56089Would she not be under Japan''s strict leadership?
56089Would the neutral ministers view the Allied ministers as guests of honour on this occasion?
56089Would those in control be real republicans, or would they be merely politicians?
13420Be your servant? 13420 Chow?"
13420Great Brother,he ejaculated,"why journeyest thou wearisomely towards Yung- ch''ang?
13420What does she say, T''ong?
13420And as I look upon it all I wonder-- wonder whether with the"Opening of China"this must all change?
13420And then, after a time:"You no wantchee catch''chow''?"
13420And who will contradict it?
13420Art thou not the''Living Garment of God''?
13420But the new life can come from whence?
13420But, again, will she?
13420Can do?"
13420Could I not from such things get free, even in Inland China?
13420DOES CHINA WANT THE FOREIGNER?
13420Did I not know that the foreigner_ must_ have a chair?
13420Did it reach to the ends of the Empire?
13420Did the blank, blank, blank cook, the worm and no man, not know that a foreigner was among them?
13420FOOTNOTES:[ Footnote U: The incredulous of my readers may question, and rightly so,"Then where did he get his saddle?"
13420From within or from without?
13420Have you had a good journey?
13420How far are you going?
13420I wonder at his ignorance of merest rudimentary political economy-- but why?
13420I wonder whether you, reader, were ever thirsty?
13420If there is no opium, where do the people so easily secure it in endeavors to take their lives upon the slightest provocation?
13420Is it then surprising that I look upon these stupendous masses with wonder, which seem to breathe only eternity and immensity?
13420Is there any business man in the Straits Settlements who has not the same opinion of the Straits- born Chinese?
13420May I give a word of advice here to any reader contemplating a visit to China under similar conditions?
13420Mysterious words, what could they mean?
13420No international question has become more hackneyed than"Does China want the foreigner?"
13420O Heaven, is it in very deed, He, then, that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?
13420See?
13420See?
13420Shall I ever forget the day?
13420Shall I say the shadow of the smile upon her lips deepened and softened with an infinite compassion?
13420Shall I?
13420Should there be a rebellion, would the soldiers remain true?
13420Something had happened, but what?
13420The question is, will he?
13420Very warm?"
13420Was the reform, if genuine at all, universal in China?
13420Were all the foreigners resident in this town dodging us, afraid of us-- or what?
13420Were they going to kill me?
13420What is it in the nature of the Chinese which makes them appear to be so totally oblivious to the best they see in their own country?
13420What is it that makes a man''s heart go pit- a- pat when he is about to meet a European lady in mid- China?
13420What on earth did you come for?"
13420What right had he to listen to what I in secret would say of the horrid keeper and his twice horrid shakedown inn?
13420What the---- who the----?"
13420What was the little trick?
13420What would have become of me?
13420What would the canny Highlander or the rural English rustic think of two pig- tailed men tramping through his countryside?
13420What, then, was the little game?
13420When in Yün- nan-- or even in the whole of China-- will there be the innocence and beauty of childhood as we of the West are blessed with?
13420Where, then, was our picul of rice, and our curry, and our sugar?
13420Who can describe it?
13420Who is there that could give his time and energy to the removal of a dead man?
13420Who is there, who knows anything about it, who would wish to see the Chinese character drop out of the national life?
13420Will she go?
13420Will the people continue to live as they are living?
13420_ Does China want the foreigner?
13420_ Is the Chinese racially inferior to the European?
13420_ Is your master drunk?
13420_ Will China lose her national characteristics?
13420shall I?
13420why do I not name thee God?
26162And what did they do?
26162Are you hurt?
26162Ask the Chinese Government?
26162Ask the Chinese? 26162 But if they have n''t the money, if they must borrow?"
26162But, naturally, you hate us all?
26162Do you admire the view?
26162Have you an invitation to tiffin?
26162How do the European nations acquire these''spheres of influence''in China?
26162Just notify China?
26162Mess?
26162Present for Missy; cumshaw,says the pleasant voice, and what can you do?
26162Trus''dat niggah?
26162What with, stupid Gretchen?
26162What''s the difference?
26162Which of us do you hate most?
26162Why did n''t he wait till the Chinese took it down?
26162Why do n''t you leave us alone?
26162Why not?
26162You mean they do n''t consult China at all and find out whether she''s willing or not? 26162 After all, what does food matter? 26162 And after the war is over, how many years will it be before they are sufficiently recovered financially to undertake such an expenditure? 26162 And why did we declare diplomatic severance with Germany? 26162 And will the country from whom she borrows money, who agrees to train and equip her armies, also have full military control over the affairs of China? 26162 Are we going to pull them up to our level, to our high idealism, or are we going to sink to theirs? 26162 But what did the Shanghai Combine do? 26162 But will the Chinese, in spite of their ample skirts, have laps wide enough to catch them? 26162 But-- but-- what does it all mean? 26162 Ca n''t you imagine a Chinese lady in satin trousers passing through a great American department store and being remarked upon? 26162 Can you blame us? 26162 Could anything have been more fortunate? 26162 Could such things happen anywhere except in Peking?
26162Do you think a ten- thousand- dollar automobile is handsome?
26162Do you think donkeys are sure- footed?
26162Do you think we can do so?
26162Does it not seem rather ludicrous that she should suddenly proclaim herself the upholder of international law?
26162Finally, in exasperation, the American turned to the silent Chinese and asked:"Where the hell is China?"
26162From whom?
26162Germs?
26162Glad Missy back,""Missy like Peking best?"
26162How are they behaving?
26162How are they taking it, the Chinese?
26162How can I reconcile this impression with previous ones, of the docility and servility we had previously encountered?
26162How can a virtually bankrupt nation like China take up arms, which she does n''t possess, against the mighty nations of Europe?
26162How comes it that she''s got this sudden influx of moral strength?
26162How then, can a Government be held responsible when it is not in a position to enforce its authority?
26162However, I ask myself-- I who am nothing if not fair- minded-- why should n''t missionaries act as recruiting- agents?
26162Is the participation in the war beneficial to China or to the Entente Powers?
26162Is this the same China that accepted the deal of the Shanghai Opium Combine, powerless to prevent it?
26162Is this the same China, prating about the sanctity of international law, that sat supine and helpless under the French grab of Lao Hsi Kai?
26162Like Moses of old, she is now stretching forth her arms; but who are they who uphold those arms?
26162One"adviser"arranges everything nicely in the interests of his country, and then what does the"corrupt"Chinese official do?
26162Saddles?
26162Shall we be trotting home again?"
26162Thought of what?
26162Was it not to render assistance to the Entente Powers, and was it not to render direct help to Great Britain?
26162Well, what can one do?
26162What did they do?
26162What else could we have done?
26162What happened?
26162What''s the use of spending years converting heathen into Christians, if they are not to act as Christians?
26162Who are we, to question the truth of them?
26162Who or which shall it be?
26162Who would n''t be in the circumstances?
26162Why did we address a protest to the German Government against its submarine warfare?
26162Why not try to forget?
26162Why remember?
26162Why should there be any scruples about enlisting converts for a"Holy War"?
26162Why?
26162Will that nation be given liberty to suppress her press, to stifle all opposition to whatever moves military necessity may dictate?
26162Would it not be well to see that these ripe plums do not fall into the lap of Chinese incompetence?
26162You ask, why did n''t the Chinese fight?

58369Seeing that she did not speak, but only blushed the more, he asked:''What is your name?''
58369Sell who again?
58369Taught to read?
58369The truth?
58369Then it would be a great favor to you if I went and looked happy?
58369Well, first, why do you wish to learn to read?
58369Were the gods deaf to their prayers, that they should thus destroy them?
58369Were you glad?
58369What matters a girl?
58369What?
58369Where did he get her?
58369Who ever heard of a woman who could read, or who even wanted to? 58369 Who is this creature?"
58369Why should you, when you have food and clothes here? 58369 Why?"
58369Will the dragons let it rain now, father?
58369Yes, why not?
58369You mean my son has bought, do you not? 58369 After a while, Tuen came back and, squatting down on a silken cushion beside Szu, said:Could a woman have done what that Woo How did?"
58369And how dare you speak of selling her?
58369Do n''t you say so, Wang?"
58369Have you not some news of what goes on in the city?"
58369Is not that enough?"
58369Is not that true, O Wise ruler of the province of Kiangsi?"
58369Just when she was so happy must it all come to an end?
58369May I ask whither you are bound, that you traverse this bleak plain?"
58369Now tell me what gods are the most to be feared?"
58369Of all living creatures which would you like to be?"
58369One day when the sun was hot and she was tired, Tuen said to Szu impatiently:"Do n''t you know anything except about the old kings and their wars?"
58369Perhaps it was the admiration she read in his face, perhaps but an impulse that caused Tuen to ask abruptly:"What is your name?"
58369Seeing that no one moved she cried, angrily:"What, is the reward not great enough?
58369She was satisfied, why not let her stay where she was?
58369The music sinks to a low, reverberating wail as the Princess tragically exclaims:"What place is this?"
58369The old story- teller turned his face toward her, and asked, scornfully:"Who would listen to the babble of a woman?
58369Was she again to be sent forth, alone and friendless, among strangers?
58369What can the people hope when they have such rulers?
58369What did he mean?
58369What is it?"
58369When the rescuer stood before her, Tuen said, reprovingly:"You have done well, but why must you be bought before you would help the drowning man?"
58369Who first made porcelain?
58369Who made paper first?
58369Who was it that discovered the compass?
58369Why did you not ask him for a silk dress, or for a pair of gold ear- rings?
58369Why might not their souls, wandering in the unknown, look back to earth and listen to the prayers of mortals?
58369Why should you make sport of me?"
58369Will you not accept it, and thereby lighten a traveller''s load?"
58369Wo Ting made a sign of assent, and someone else remarked:"Why not?
58369Would he be pleased?
58369Would he speak to her?
58369Would he wear it there?
58369Would you like to hear of her?"
58369cried the astonished Emperor;''not Woo How, the daughter of one Tai- ting?''
11754Are missionaries subject to discipline by the Tai- hoey?
11754Are the missionaries members of Tai- hoey in full and on a perfect equality with the native members?
11754But whence this cheerfulness? 11754 Is it likely that there can be but one Presbyterian Church in China?
11754Is it not likely that the sooner the native churches become self- governing, the sooner they will be self- supporting and self- propagating?
11754Is not that a specimen of humility? 11754 What are these benevolent- looking barbarians tramping up and down the country for?
11754Why should the Christian tremble at the prospect of suffering, or be impatient under its existence? 11754 ''But,''I asked again,''is he not still a man?'' 11754 ''Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?'' 11754 ....But may not the Church change or improve her decisions?
11754An extract reads as follows:"But what shall I tell you of the Lord''s visitation of mercy at Chioh- be?
11754And how many do you think have been strangled at birth?
11754And where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from?
11754Are they all alive?
11754Are they happy?
11754Are they well?
11754But how and where has this test been applied and found so satisfactory?
11754But how was it to be done?
11754But the grace of God triumphed and again she said,"I prayed to God for this, how can I object?"
11754But the point is, how can our disapproval of the mongrel Classis mar the peace of the Amoy brethren?
11754But, it may be asked, if the native members so far outnumber the foreign, of what avail is it that missionaries be more than advisory members?
11754Can this be secured?
11754Can we give them a sufficient reason for such separation?
11754Do not different denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land?
11754Do you ask why?
11754Do you remember that many years ago I said,''I am going to be a missionary''?"
11754Does this look as if missions were a failure in this region?
11754Has it been tested in China?
11754Has it been tested in Japan?
11754He, also, has rights; but how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them?
11754How shall the company of believers be organized and governed?
11754How, then, can we do this thing?
11754I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice?
11754I inquired,''Is he not a man?''
11754IS CHINA TO BE WON, AND HOW?
11754If he can benefit his fellow- men by running the risk of losing his own life, shall he hesitate to run that risk?"
11754If not, what modifications shall be made?
11754In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said that we are looking for a chimera?
11754Is Chinese human nature different from American?
11754Is any one inclined to blame him too much for this, as though he wore himself out and sacrificed his life before the time?
11754Is it right to impose a yoke like this on that little Church which God is gathering, by your instrumentality, in that far- off land of China?
11754Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing?
11754It ought to be so, ought it not?
11754Let Almighty grace for nearly three- quarters of a century triumph in a man''s soul, and do you wonder that he is happy?
11754Now, who dare say that this shall not exist at Amoy?
11754Oh, when will He stay His hand?
11754Our churches originally were one, and still are one, and the question is not whether those churches shall be united, but shall they be separated?
11754Possibly the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one?
11754Shall it be exactly on the model of the church which the missionary represents?
11754Shall the seedling ten thousand miles away be roped to the mother tree or shall it be encouraged to stand alone?
11754The City of the"Elegant Gate"Description of Amoy and Amoy Island Ancestral Worship Infanticide Is China to be won, and how?
11754The''King of Glory''suffered, and shall a sinful man complain?
11754Was not this sometimes the case in the days of the apostles?
11754We now ask, Can the Prudential Committee expect of us, while we hold such views, to conform to their decision?
11754What advantages in independence?
11754What is the House of Hapsburg or Stuarts, compared with being son of the Lord God Almighty?
11754What is this request?
11754What perils?
11754What relation shall he sustain to the home church?
11754What shall be our relation as individuals to the Dutch Church in America?
11754What shall be the status of the foreign missionary before the native church just organizing?
11754What voice so cheering as hers, to conduct him down the steep of old age?
11754What will the aged man do without this other to lean on?
11754Who can so well understand how to sympathize and counsel?
11754Why are they establishing churches and schools and hospitals?
11754Why not?
11754Why strive to entail like evils on our missionary churches?
11754Will Mr. Stronach recognize his native land?
11754Will not their prayers be heard?
11754Wonder where and how my many friends are?
11754Would it alter matters much to say, and to make it a fact, that some of those churches belong to a Classis and others to a Presbytery?
11754Would it, indeed?
11754Would they respect us if we did?
11754or are differences of dialect, etc., such as to make different organizations necessary and inevitable?"
26553(_ Gazes enraptured on the miniature._) These eyes to meet, these rosy lips to kiss, Who would not hazard all to win such bliss?
26553(_ Suddenly recollects himself, and looks at her searchingly._) Skirina, would''st thou traitress turn?
26553(_ after gazing at_ KALAF,_ aside to_ SKIRINA)-- Skirina, what can ail me?
26553(_ aloud_) Say, who art thou?
26553(_ looking about, uneasily._) What spectres shall I see?
26553(_ rises and declaims_)-- What is that thing, held cheap as dust, Yet honor''d by the Emperor''s hand?
26553(_ who has listened with increasing emotion_)-- His words are torture to my wav''ring pride, How shall I act?
26553Adelma here?
26553Adelma shall I trust?
26553Ah, what a gallant youth, Behead him?
26553Ah, why Altoum, wert thou too merciful?
26553And thou, my domineering, wilful child, Wilt not relent towards this youth?
26553Are you convinced?
26553Art thou her tool?
26553Be slave To brutish force, that makes your sex our lord?
26553But hast thou not, good keeper, Some better news to tell a waken''d sleeper?
26553But how escaped you from that fatal licking The Bey of Tefflis gave us all in battle?
26553But what''s the meaning of the crowds that flood Each caravanserah?
26553But who''s this man?
26553But, dearest Prince, how was it, tell me, pray, You''scaped the perils of that dreadful day?
26553Can it be?
26553Can nothing your credulity convince?
26553D''you think the royal head of your kind Daddy Is lined with lead, like a Japan tea- caddy; What say you, colleague; and ye Doctors wise?
26553Dear me, what is the matter?
26553Dear prince, May not our Royal words your ear convince?
26553Do I still live?
26553Do my eyes Deceive me?
26553Down, stubborn soul(_ advances towards_ ALT.,_ then hesitates_), and yet, beneath Man''s yoke To crouch?
26553Each day do we not see, for smaller gain, Great captains brave the dangers of the main?
26553Fair cruel one, who may your tears withstand?
26553From what far distant land Dost come to seek in marriage that fair hand Which only royal blood may justly claim?
26553Good gracious, what can hither bring my wife?
26553Has thy keen wit discovered-- tell me truth-- The secret of this overtrusting youth?
26553Have you not heard that Turandot the fair Has filled this land with bloodshed and despair?
26553How can a painted semblance thus have crazed So sensible a prince?
26553How dare you make such a confounded clatter?
26553How may I best decide?
26553I say, Truffaldin, what''s this grand array?
26553Is this a wedding march, with muffled drums?
26553No woman yet has caused my heart to throb,-- Shall painted lines my soul of freedom rob?
26553Of what has he been talking?
26553Oh dear, oh dear, what ever shall I do?
26553Our handsome guest will be Chang''s future Who''d have believed such an astounding thing?
26553Presumptuous wretch, dar''st thou our queen defy?
26553Prime Minister, ca n''t you some project form And be your monarch''s rudder thro''this storm?
26553Prince Kalaf?
26553Shall I by thy hand fall?
26553Shall he outwit me?
26553So far, so good; what hast thou more to say?
26553Tartaglia, have you seen this poor young fellow?
26553The Bey of Tefflis dead?
26553The high Divan again-- twice in one day?
26553Thy cruel will shall find no more resistance; Why need the headsman end my sad existence?
26553Truffaldin, do you hear?
26553Well, friend, what is it?
26553What do they say?
26553What do they say?
26553What do you say?
26553What do you say?
26553What do you say?
26553What do you say?
26553What does she say?
26553What have I?
26553What is he muttering all to himself, Just like a miser counting o''er his pelf?
26553What is the matter?
26553What is this mirror bright and clear, Free given to all, to all so dear?
26553What is this tree, so young, so old, So sunny warm, so icy cold?
26553What makes his Majesty indulge in high rant?
26553What man is this?
26553What put such silly nonsense in your head?
26553What should I fear?
26553What will Adelma''s fertile brain devise?
26553What, do n''t you know Skirina?
26553Where art thou going, wife, in such a hurry?
26553Who calls?
26553Who comes this way?
26553Who''d be Prime Minister?
26553Why does my hand such tempting bait afford?
26553Why make you such a fuss?
26553Why should I grieve to see That men for love such arrant fools can be?
26553Why should my person, throne, and wealth be booty To one harsh, jealous master?
26553Why, what harm''s done?
26553Why, what''s the matter?
26553Will treachery be used my life to end?
26553Wouldst doom me to a life, of love bereft?
26553You had possession-- nine points of the law, Why should you for her meagrims care one straw?
26553You know my stranger- guest?
26553You stupid, do n''t you know the whole Divan Are called to meet as quickly as they can?
26553You understand?
26553here-- alive?
26553must thy life thus end?
26553what dreary sprite?
26553when will this torture cease?
56985''Where away?'' 56985 And did n''t ye jest tell me,"Kathleen replied,"that Japan is an island in the Pacific Oshin?
56985And is it really the case,said Frank,"that a Japanese baby never cries?"
56985And so these things come here in cans, do they?
56985And were lost in it, I suppose?
56985And what are norimons and cangos?
56985And what is sa- kee, please?
56985And what is the difference between Buddhism and Shintoism?
56985And what was the edict?
56985And you''ll let me go with them, wo n''t you, father?
56985Another thing,said Fred--"why is it that the grooms are covered with tattoo- marks, and wear so little clothing?"
56985Anything else?
56985But does every Chinese who goes to a foreign country understand how to talk pidgin English?
56985But you wo n''t let him go all alone, father, now, will you?
56985Ca n''t we go first to Yeddo?
56985Can I get any kind of money with this letter, father?
56985Can it be? 56985 Did n''t you find that an orange would buy more cherries or apples at one time than at another?"
56985Did they destroy the cities that we see in ruins?
56985Do my eyes deceive me? 56985 Do you mean the island of Pappenberg?"
56985Doctor Bronson has been there before, has n''t he, father?
56985How can I tell?
56985How do you know which way to turn?
56985How long shall we be on the voyage, Doctor?
56985How was that?
56985How was that?
56985I ca n''t think of it,replied Frank;"what is it?"
56985If they did no work,said Frank,"how did they manage to live?"
56985Is there any law about it?
56985Now,continued Frank,"there are thirty- two points of the compass; do you know them?"
56985Please, Doctor,said Frank,"what is the nature of the notices they put on the sign- board?"
56985Please, Doctor,said Mary,"what do you mean by legal tender?"
56985Something Japanese?
56985Then the emperor is called the Mikado, is he not?
56985Well, how did he live all that time?
56985Well, then, as they are both women, or girls, as you may choose to call them, why do n''t you take up the subject of women in Japan? 56985 Well, what did you expect to find?"
56985Well, what is it?
56985Well, what is it?
56985Were you ever sea- sick, Doctor?
56985What did you do then, Doctor?
56985What do they use for the burning?
56985What do you suppose it was? 56985 What is it?"
56985What is it?
56985What is that?
56985What is the jin- riki- sha?
56985What is the reason they do n''t strike the hours here as they do on land?
56985What is the use of writing up our Canton experiences,said Frank,"till we know what we are to do?
56985What puts that into your head, Kathleen?
56985What time in the evening must we go,said Fred,"so as to be there in season for the beginning of the performance?"
56985What was that?
56985What''s that to do with the crow?
56985Where are we going, please?
56985Where away?
56985Why are we like that chambermaid over there?
56985Why do n''t they work on the ground instead of climbing up there?
56985Why do they call that the Golden Gate?
56985Why is that network we have just been looking at like a crow calling to his mates?
56985Why so?
56985Why so?
56985Why, everything,Frank answered;"the crow makes ye- caw- go, does n''t it?"
56985Why, what could pirates have to do with this boat, I wonder?
56985Why? 56985 Will we stop anywhere on the way?"
56985Would n''t it be well to go the day before?
56985Would the money be lost altogether?
56985You mean those little things the Japanese sleep on?
56985But then what could you expect of a lot of heathens like the Japanese?
56985Could anything be more fortunate?
56985Curious custom, is n''t it, according to our notions?"
56985Do n''t you see that Bishop Berkeley wrote before railways were invented, and before people could travel as they do nowadays?
56985Do you observe that one side of the island is like a precipice?"
56985Do you see that little hollow down there?"
56985Do you see that low bank there, in front of a mud- wall to the left of the fort?"
56985Do you think my old drawing- master at home could do the same thing?
56985Frank inquired,"or must I take it in pounds sterling?
56985He had just strength enough to say, in a troubled voice, to the man nearest him,"Say, stranger, how far does this thing fly before it lights?"
56985I wonder if they make much money out of the music they are playing?
56985Is n''t it a grand idea?"
56985Perhaps you have seen New York Bay on a pleasant afternoon in summer when every boat that could hoist a sail was out for an airing?
56985Then the question naturally arose,"How is the operation performed?"
56985Then the question very naturally arose,"What is pidgin English?"
56985Thus:''Can do walkee?''
56985Very kind, is n''t it?
56985Very sensible advice, I think-- don''t you?
56985What do you mean?"
56985What is the meaning of this?"
56985What was it?"
56985Why should we be in a hurry to write up our account, when, in any case, we shall have the time to do so while we are at sea?"
56985Wo n''t that be nice?"
56985You know we expect every kitten in America to play with her tail, and what can she do when she has no tail to play with?
56985You remember the pocket pin- cushion you made for me?
56985[ Illustration]"''"Man- man,"one girlee talkee he:"What for you go top- side look- see?"
56985an American leader for Chinese?"
56985means''Are you able to walk?''
56985said he;"what are those beautiful white birds?"
17003Have you seen them?
17003What do you mean by deceiving me?
17003And yet what did this mean?
17003Are they traces of a forgotten siege?
17003But about the trains-- why are they stopping?
17003But could anything have dared to move to us?
17003But for how long?
17003But the ultimatum-- what is it, and against whom is it so summarily directed?
17003But will this last?
17003Does he not know his history?
17003Everybody was obviously making for the north of the city; what was going on in the other quarters to cause this exodus?
17003Foolish bishop he is, is he not, when Christians have been expressly born to be massacred?
17003From whence came that shot?
17003Had they seen me?
17003Have you ever heard a high- velocity machine- gun firing down deserted and gloomy thorough- fares?
17003How could it have been?
17003How long will this last?...
17003I asked for them-- where were they kept?
17003I began to ask myself this question: Were we really playing an immense comedy, or was there a great and terrible peril menacing us?
17003I know that half of them are much upset at the_ role_ they are being forced to play, but who can help them?
17003I waited patiently to see how they proposed to solve this problem-- did they wish a bold, open, frontal attack or an underground plot?
17003In all the clouds of dust and smoke around them, how can they understand?
17003Is it always thus with faith?
17003Is it good to hope on a 13th, or is it mere foolishness to thing about such things?
17003Is it only the power not to be afraid which makes one a hero?
17003Is it true that they are losing courage?
17003Is it true, or is it merely a mistake, such as life- loving man most naturally makes?
17003Is not the South African War still proceeding, and has England not enough troubles without this additional one?
17003It means... what the devil does it mean?
17003K---- was manifestly plotting for those watches; it was not my business-- what did it matter to me if he took everything there was?
17003Marines, sailors, and Legation juniors groaned; was this opportunity to be missed?
17003Meanwhile, is there anything special for me to chronicle?
17003Now do you wonder about our clocks and our watches, and our time?
17003Of course the Boxers coming in openly through the gates can not be true, and yet-- shades of Genghis Khan and all his Tartars, what is that?
17003Otherwise, why had they been brought?
17003Passers- by, did I say?
17003Somehow my heart sank within me at this; was it too late?
17003Suddenly a quiet voice said to him in French out of the gloom:"_ Monsieur desire quelque chose?
17003They had not made anything-- was not that a sufficient excuse for any behaviour?
17003They wanted to go to the British Legation; not to this place-- what was it; where was the British Legation?
17003Was all the world still asleep, tired from the night''s debauch, or was it merely the end of everything?
17003Was it really so?
17003We are still on speaking terms with the Chinese Government, but who knows what the morrow may bring?
17003Were they white troops at last-- were they Bannermen of the white Banners?...
17003Were we trapped?
17003What could I do?...
17003What course should we take, if the attack was suddenly carried all round our area?
17003What did it matter?
17003What did that door mean?
17003What did this fleeing to the north of the city and this ominous quiet mean?
17003What did this mean?
17003What did we wish?
17003What had happened to all the inhabitants?
17003What has happened to justify all this, you will ask?
17003What in the name of all that is extraordinary was happening to cause these strange doings?
17003What is going to happen?
17003What is the use of depriving one''s self for the common good later on under such circumstances?
17003What is to be the next thing?
17003What should we do-- push on or go back?
17003What was it?
17003What were these newcomers?
17003What, indeed, did it matter?
17003What, then, has happened?
17003Where had the famed Boxers vanished to?
17003Where the devil were our relieving columns?
17003Where were the Russians, the Italians, and the Germans?
17003Where were they all?...
17003Who has not heard that pleasant sound?
17003Who was to go?
17003Who would not rob a fleeing Emperor of his possessions?
17003Why have they wives, you will ask, since they are only half men, and can not perform the duties of the male?
17003Why should so many be called-- why should we die thus in a hole?...
17003Why should the obvious be so often discovered?
17003Why, you will ask?
17003Wife of a eunuch, did I say?
17003Will not something happen which will fling our enemy against us animated by one desire--a desire to slay us one and all?
17003With a natural impulse, everybody''s attention became concentrated on this fugitive: would he reach cover in safety?
17003Would I go?
17003Would it have been safety?
17003Yet can one ever forget?
17003Yet, what could be done-- what steps could be taken?
17003You remember the V- shaped barricade garrisoned by Russian sailors, I spoke about a few days ago?
17003mais ou est l''or?_"It was almost pitiful to hear him repeat these words again and again like a child.
17003was I no longer to experience that supreme delight of shooting and being shot at-- of that unending excitement?
17003was it really over?...
48788A foreigner?
48788Are there other foreigners here?
48788Are you speaking of Pragmatism? 48788 At billiards?"
48788But I thought you had one year''s furlough every seven?
48788But do n''t you want to see your daughter?
48788But if it is so easy to write a play why do dramatists take so long about it?
48788But what is your explanation?
48788But what on earth makes you stay with the man?
48788But what''s the grave for?
48788But you, do you know what you are doing?
48788Do n''t you think we might leave it till after luncheon?
48788Do they know you''ve come here?
48788Do you believe in fate?
48788Do you care for a game of billiards?
48788Do you know it was found within thirty miles of here, on this side of the Tibetan frontier?
48788Do you know who that is?
48788Do you like them better than paintings?
48788Do you think so? 48788 Do you think so?"
48788Do you think that is why I wear it?
48788Do you?
48788Does it require no more than that to write a play?
48788Everything go off all right?
48788For me?
48788Found where?
48788Have you not noticed that Ibsen uses the same plot over and over again? 48788 Have you read_ Les Avarià © s_?"
48788Have you studied the modern developments of philosophy in America?
48788He had lodgings with you?
48788He''s priceless, is n''t he?
48788Hulloa,he said,"where have you sprung from?"
48788Hume and Berkeley? 48788 Is it not strange,"he said, with his charming smile,"that we Chinese wear this gown because three hundred years ago the Manchus were horsemen?"
48788Nerve, eh?
48788Nice looking fellow, eh?
48788Roads to Freedom? 48788 Shall we say apartments then?"
48788Tell me,I said,"do you believe God will condemn the Chinese to eternal punishment if they do n''t accept Christianity?"
48788They do not go so far as to get out and let the nuns ride in their stead?
48788Well,they said,"did you see the blighter shot?"
48788Well?
48788What are you having a grave dug for?
48788What do you mean?
48788What do you mean?
48788What have you written?
48788What is socialism?
48788What is the reason for which you deem yourselves our betters? 48788 What is your name?"
48788What the devil do you mean by that? 48788 What''s the good of going back to England?"
48788What''s the young man like?
48788When are you going home?
48788When are you going on leave?
48788Who the devil''s that for?
48788Who was this anyway?
48788Why,she asked,"do you English write such silly books about Russia?"
48788Will these American students ever produce anything like this?
48788Wo n''t you also give me a translation?
48788Would you like that?
48788_ Moi?_ Oh, in a day or two.
48788''But what about the sick?''
48788''What is the name of the doctor in charge?''
48788''When do they take their holidays then?''
48788Am I right or am I wrong?"
48788And the string?
48788And what will become of your superiority when the yellow man can make as good guns as the white and fire them as straight?
48788But how can I analyse the subtle quality which distinguished this old man?
48788Do you call yourself a Christian?"
48788Do you know that we tried an experiment which is unique in the history of the world?
48788Do you know what I did?"
48788Do you not know that there are in this country four hundred millions of the most practical and industrious people in the world?
48788Do you not know that we have a genius for mechanics?
48788Do you think it will take us long to learn?
48788England?
48788Has our civilisation been less elaborate, less complicated, less refined than yours?
48788Have our thinkers been less profound than yours?
48788Have you excelled us in arts or letters?
48788Have you seen the last one?"
48788He was always ready to have a drink with you and no sooner was your glass empty than he was prompt with the China phrase:"Ready for the other half?"
48788How long had the kingdom lasted and what tragedy marked its fall?
48788I knew he was drunk, but I did not think he was very drunk, till he asked me suddenly:"What is democracy?"
48788Shall I tell you?
48788Shall we go into the drawing- room?"
48788The moment he got back to his office he called to his number two:"I say, Peters, who''s dead, d''you know?"
48788Then why does the white man despise the yellow?
48788What bold adventurer was he who had penetrated so far towards the East to found a kingdom?
48788What did he care about Shanghai?
48788What did it matter what people thought?
48788What did it mean?
48788What in heaven''s name was to be done?
48788When they had met that afternoon Dr. Saunders had exclaimed:"What on earth has brought you to the city at this time of year?"
48788Why had he ever come?
48788Why should he unless he were a missionary or a Chinese Secretary at the Legation?
48788You could n''t have an hallucination twice, could you?
48788Yü?"
44043And so Chook Aloong is an opium smoker?
44043Are all these men dying from opium smoking?
44043But where are all the people who are suffering from opium smoking?
44043But where are the smokers?
44043Do many people smoke?
44043Do you sell much?
44043Oh, is not this a terrible thing?
44043What for,said he,"you say my no talkee lie?
44043You say they are good, respectable men?
44043Against whom and against what is all this outcry?
44043And for whom pray would this sacrifice be made?
44043And what fault can be found with the merchants?
44043Are these Chinese converts the class of the Chinese from which truth is to be gleaned?
44043As he leaves he asks his guide,"Does the keeper of the opium shop expect a gratuity?"
44043As to the tincture of opium( commonly called laudanum),_ that_ might certainly intoxicate, if a man could bear to take enough of it; but why?
44043But even admitting, for argument''s sake, that smuggling in its ordinary acceptation did, in fact, exist, how does the matter stand?
44043But how is it that such divergent opinions can exist between Englishmen living in China and certain Englishmen here at home?
44043But what does Sir Robert Hart, with all his official information, say?
44043But what if it be a mere figment of the imagination, and absolutely devoid, as Dr. Medhurst says, of a semblance of truth?
44043By what right could the English Government or any other Government do such things?
44043Can he believe that human nature in China is different to what it is in Europe?
44043Could any evidence against the allegations of the Anti- Opium Society be stronger than this?
44043Could anything be more disingenuous than this?
44043Could the force of folly or fanaticism go further than that?
44043Does Mr. Storrs Turner consider those gentlemen worthy of credit?
44043Does it not strike His Lordship how absurd is such an antithesis as pleasure and death?
44043Does not that form the strongest possible evidence that the Chinese are an extremely steady and abstemious race?
44043Drink vely bad for Inglismen; what for you do n''t go home and teach them to be soba, plaupa men?"
44043Here I would first inquire-- what is the poppy?
44043How many times has it happened that the consuls have had discussions with the Chinese governors respecting these receiving ships?
44043I admit that opium is in itself a poison, but let me ask what changes does not fire produce in the various substances which it consumes?
44043I do not believe there is any solid truth in this assertion; but if there is, what does the fact prove?
44043I should like to ask Mr. Storrs Turner were the medical and other gentlemen then present Englishmen or foreigners?
44043If that is not what is wished, what is?
44043Is it honest or just to place the civilized, wise, and educated Chinese in the same category with the barbarous natives of Central Africa?
44043Is it not the Chinese who go out of their ports to the"Receiving Ships"to fetch it?
44043Is the Chinese nation composed of children, or of savages who do not know right from wrong?
44043Is the testimony of such people of the slightest value?
44043Is this patriotic or proper on the part of this Anti- Opium Society?
44043Now did anyone ever hear of such an extraordinary explanation of De Quincey''s motives in publishing that volume?
44043Now why have not these merchants ever complained that commerce has suffered from the opium traffic?
44043Now, is that a fair parallel?
44043Now, why are England and Englishmen thought so well of by the Chinese?
44043Now, why is this belief so prevalent?
44043Should the Company prohibit the culture of the drug in order to allow other nations to derive the emoluments arising from it?
44043Should we then have the Chinese the hard- working, industrious, thrifty, frugal people that we find them?
44043Storrs Turner, who is himself no mean Chinese scholar, to mislead his readers by making use of so forced and inapplicable a comparison?
44043Take him to the Tung- Wah and to an opium shop, you savee?"
44043The great subject on his mind is opium, so he comes to the point at once, and asks,"Is there much opium smoked in the colony?"
44043The whole affair is just as defensible a proceeding as that of some tenth- rate dauber who, having copied(?)
44043They say,"We do not protect these ships; why do you not drive them away?"
44043This is it:-- They[ the missionaries] secure some adherence to the Christian religion, no doubt, but what is the value of the Christianity?
44043To reduce the quantity of opium smoked in China?
44043Was he right or wrong in doing so?
44043What do you mean, then, by trying to make Christians of us?"
44043What was the celebrated saying of Prince Kung to the British Ambassador?
44043What, then, is the fair conclusion to draw from such a state of things?
44043What, then, may I ask, is the reproach constantly hurled at the East India Company?
44043Whence, then, comes the great bulk of the drug to satisfy all these smokers?
44043Why does he not apply the same rule to the one as to the other?
44043Why, then, does not the Government of China suppress the cultivation of the poppy there?
44043Why, then, is it not grown here?
44043Why?
44043Yet these are the people whom Mr. Storrs Turner would put in the same category as the savages of Africa?
44043Yet what are the present plans of this pragmatical body?
44043is that the way?"
22210''Smart,''sir?
22210''Wild''you spell w- i- l- d?
22210And where does he live?
22210Are the people very obsequious to the Rajiwar?
22210Are you quite sure, Kachi, that this lake is the home of the gods?
22210Cut off my head?
22210Cut off my head?
22210Cut off our heads?
22210Did you not feel the earth shake and quiver?
22210Do the natives adopt any special method to protect themselves from these mountain demons?
22210Do the spirits ever speak?
22210Do you ever expect to become a saint?
22210Do you hear the sound of bells?
22210Do you know any one who has seen them?
22210Does not Mr. Landor remind you of''that other''eccentric gentleman that came through here last year?
22210Does not that sound more like an attack of indigestion?
22210Have we passed the Gomba? 22210 Have you ever seen a spirit, Jagat Sing?"
22210How is he clothed?
22210How many coolies will you take, sir?
22210Is it a Plenki?
22210Sahib, do you see that island?
22210Tell me,I said to Jagat Sing,"are there''spirits of the mountain''in these ranges?
22210What are the evil qualities to be mostly avoided?
22210What are you doing, sir?
22210What are you going to do?
22210What do you do with these?
22210What have you done with it?
22210What is that?
22210What is that?
22210What is your name?
22210What?
22210Where are your certificates?
22210Where is my book, Chanden Sing?
22210Where is your son?
22210Where?
22210Which way did it go?
22210Who is that?
22210Who is that?
22210Why is that?
22210_ Keran ga naddo ung?_("Where are you going?")
22210_ Keran ga naddo ung?_("Where are you going?")
22210_ Keran ga naddoung?_("Where are you going?")
22210_ Keran ga naddoung?_("Where are you going?")
22210_ Kuan hai?_("Who is there?")
22210_ Kuan hai?_("Who is there?")
22210And do the people really believe in them?"
22210And if it were the God''s decree that he should die, what could be the use of rebelling against it?
22210And who better than the Lamas could make peace between God and him?
22210And you?"
22210Are you married?
22210Are you one of his advance guard?"
22210Are you still at Almora?
22210Are your dear parents alive?
22210As time went on, and they did not put in an appearance, we began to entertain doubts as to their safety, or would they betray us and never return?
22210Besides, what does it matter whether you die to- day or to- morrow?"
22210But how could they be when you consider the gallons of filthy tea which they drink daily, and the liquor to which they are so partial?
22210Can we stop near your camp and pick up the food that you will throw away?"
22210DEAR MR. LANDOR, Do you remember the night when we separated near Lama Chokden in Tibet, you to proceed towards Lhassa, and I to return to India?
22210Had he come across some of his mates?
22210Have we not yet reached it?"
22210Have you any brothers and sisters?
22210Have you not got a copy of my official report?
22210Having come thus far, should I be compelled now to go back or give in, and be captured by the Tibetan soldiers whom I had so successfully evaded?
22210How are your eyes and spine?
22210How could we now turn back when so near our goal?
22210How did the photographs which we took up at the Lippu Pass turn out?
22210How many times had not my schemes been upset?
22210How much do they want?"
22210How spell?"
22210I said to the Rongba,"what is that?"
22210Is that the care you take of my notes and sketches?
22210No doubt the satisfaction of going up high mountains is very great; but can it be compared to that of coming down?
22210Or, as was more likely, had they been caught by the Jong Pen( the master of the fort), and been imprisoned and tortured?
22210Should I dwindle painlessly away, preferring rest and peace to effort, or should I make a last struggle to save myself?
22210THE BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM OF TO- DAY: Preformation or Epigenesis?
22210Then you, sir, I, sir, five coolies, sir, start night- time, what clock?"
22210Tumka hatte?_ Come, come, come quickly!
22210Was what I saw before me real?
22210Were the Tarjum''s men coming, preceded by their animals?
22210Were these Tibetans trying to surprise us in our sleep, or could they be our men returning at last?
22210Were we discovered?
22210What have you done with them?"
22210What is meaning?
22210What is your name?"
22210What is''kiang''in English?"
22210What painter could do those mountains justice?"
22210Where are you?"
22210Why then should we expect them to be faithful to us?
22210Will five do?"
22210Would all the brides of the first man become the brides of the second?
22210Would it be possible, I asked them, to get over the Lumpiya Pass or the still higher Mangshan?
22210[ Illustration: THE LADY IN QUESTION]"''Why did you marry me?''
22210[ Illustration: THE NERPANI ROAD]"Where are they?"
22210[ Illustration: THE PHOTOGRAPH THAT CAUSED THE CHILD''S DEATH]"And how about your husband?"
22210[ Illustration: WOMAN CARRYING CHILD IN BASKET]"_ Kiula tuku taka zando?_"("How many children have you?")
22210[ Illustration: WOMAN CARRYING CHILD IN BASKET]"_ Kiula tuku taka zando?_"("How many children have you?")
22210asked he inquisitively,"how long have you taken to come from Ladak?"
22210or had he heard from the sepoys that they were in the neighbourhood?
22210where has it gone?"
12818But will he do nothing about the matter?
12818How did you learn this?
12818Is it possible that such a being as man can, according to law... become a slave even by his own consent?
12818Is it really true that the authorities have been deceived, and did not know of this flagrant violation of the Ordinance to protect women and girls?
12818What is this strange man doing here?
12818Who among you will give ear to this? 12818 And where did Suey Ying come from? 12818 Are they not likely to exist in spite of laws against them, so long as human nature remains so frail? 12818 At this moment Mrs. Lau heard voices of men on her stairs, and said in alarm to A- Kan,The inspector is coming, looking for you, is n''t he?"
12818Besides this long argumentative answer, one question must be answered:--Is it right to do or sanction wrong that good may come?"
12818But from whence comes that danger of rudeness and insult or worse from which man is to protect woman?
12818But need we go into further painful details?
12818But to what purpose?
12818But was that the truth?
12818But what about working women?
12818But what could a Chinese woman do in the face of such a debt?
12818But what of the many young girls with whom exceptional conditions did not exist, when_ they_ were brought to the examination table?
12818But what transpired when that Commission was held?
12818But what would be the effect on any man having to administer such an Ordinance?
12818But why should Americans be called upon to acquaint themselves with such loathsome details?
12818But, what was the fashion of his uniform?
12818By and by a woman came and offered to buy poor man''s little girl, and as he had but little food, he asks,''How much?''
12818Can not?
12818Did he attend the receptions of His Excellency and the Port Admiral?
12818Do we not pretend that it is such to all who are oppressed?
12818Do you believe God did that, reader?
12818Do you wonder that these girls do not tell everybody who asks them that they are unwilling captives?
12818Forsooth, to protect her from what?
12818From what motive will you read our recital?
12818Have not murder and stealing always existed?
12818Here, again, it may be asked what are the precise relations of the acting Colonial surgeon to''our private hospitals?''
12818How can we explain such a state of affairs?
12818How could a Government that held slaves in its licensed brothels forbid Chinese residents holding slaves in their homes?
12818How to administer them the Orient already knows, for has not the door to his domicile been already forced open by the Western trader?
12818If she were sent to jail what would become of her little boy?
12818Is it not quite likely it was from him she borrowed the money?
12818Lonely and friendless, and poor, is she in no danger of a false accusation from malice or from error?
12818Might she not in reality have been acting the part of"pocket- mother"to the girl?]
12818Rattlesnakes, buffalo, lions, wildcats no more overrun the country, and why is this relation of"protector"still claimed?
12818Reader, have you ever traveled on another''s ticket?
12818She came and said to Tai Yau:"Who is this?"
12818She is brought up the next day to be tried for the offence; but, before whom?
12818She replied:"He said:''What can I do?
12818Should not the entire country be one great city of refuge?
12818So the three planned this campaign:"When is Detective---- coming?"
12818The Attorney General:--"May I ask your Lordship to say on what charge?"
12818The Judge asked,''Is this your own mother?''
12818The Judge said,''Did anybody tell you to say all this?"
12818The Judge said,''Did this woman give you birth?''
12818The question naturally arises,--Are these women and girls free agents?
12818Then were they likely to strike a blow at that slavery?
12818Then why not license_ them_ in order to keep_ them_ under control?
12818Then, will you continue to read from a worthier motive?
12818To what other source indeed could they turn for a livelihood?
12818Was he allowed precedence of chaplains, or how otherwise?
12818Was he decorated on the abolition of his office, and allowed a good service pension?
12818We asked,''How would a girl have to do in order to live in this house?''
12818We asked,''If a girl should say that she_ did not_ want to be a prostitute what would be done?''
12818We can not, without sin against humanity, ask the scoffer''s question,"Am I my sister''s keeper?"
12818Were the informers punished for giving false evidence designed to work incalculable injury to five innocent women?
12818What could they say?
12818What did all the laws against man- stealing and slave- trading ever accomplish so long as the slave owner was allowed to keep his slave?
12818What important event had to be discussed?
12818What is to be thought of the character of such reports for the_ Public_, and such an_ Official Report_,"not_ intended_ to be_ published_"?
12818What serious matter decided?
12818What was the outcome of this dreadful arraignment of crimes against Chinese girls?
12818What was then done?
12818What was to be done?
12818What, if the master is brutal, or the mistress jealous, becomes of the poor girl?
12818Who can tell, moreover, what hopes or aspirations have been instilled into the minds of these girls?
12818Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?"
12818Why are not these societies broken up, root and branch?
12818Why did she not turn him out of the house?
12818Why should not the pursuer be turned back at the Golden Gate, rather than at the door of an exceptional home in San Francisco?
12818Why should they shrink from it?
12818Will it not be good to see something actually done and at once about that matter?
12818Would the Mission try to save this poor girl?
12818and was he expected to dine with the Bishop?
12818or is he still in the service of''our religious and gracious Queen?''"
12818what about the daughters, sisters and wives of working men, out, it may be, on an errand of mercy at night?
17002Are such things right?
17002Are these ecclesiastical bodies respectively Indian, Chinese, and African in their character?
17002Are these the doctrines or policy of the Dutch Church?
17002Are they, then, two- thirds of an integral part in America, and one- third of an integral part in England?
17002Besides this, how shall we know which of them were converted through our instrumentality?
17002But are these things so?
17002But has it been more successful than the Mission at Amoy?
17002But how and where has this test been applied, and found so satisfactory?
17002But how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them?
17002But the point is, how can our disapproval of_ the mongrel Classis_ mar the peace of the Amoy brethren?"
17002But will the plan of Synod give us any greater security for these things?
17002But will they do it?
17002Can it be that a policy which requires_ such constitutional changes_ can be the old and proper policy of our Church?
17002Can the Board try them?
17002Can they be designed to prejudice the Church at home against the ecclesiastical body which has grown up at Amoy?
17002Can this be secured?
17002Can you account for such things except by the energy of the Spirit of God?
17002Can you not do the same now?
17002Cannot-- ought not-- the Church change her policy if wrong, or if a better can be adopted?
17002Do not different Denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land?
17002Do you wish a similar result in China?
17002Does that mean that we had no qualms of conscience about''submitting to the decision that had been reached?''
17002General Synod?
17002Has it been tested in China?
17002Has it been tested in Japan?
17002Hence the question has been put to us with all sincerity and gravity,"Is it a_ Classis_, or is it a_ Presbytery_?"
17002How can they be secured?
17002How should we designate such an act?
17002I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice?
17002I have been asked, Why not bring this subject before the Church through the columns of the_ Christian Intelligencer_?
17002In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said, that we are looking for a chimera?
17002Is Chinese human nature different from American?
17002Is every thing then to be regarded as_ unsettled_ and_ changeable_ but this policy of the Church?
17002Is it because they were baptized by our Missionaries?
17002Is it because they were converted through the instrumentality of the preaching of our Missionaries?
17002Is it necessary to defend such acts?
17002Is it not plain that the Church at home will not thus have a moiety of the control over her Missionaries she now has?
17002Is it right to impose a yoke like this on that little Church which God is gathering by your instrumentality in that far- off land of China?
17002Is it well that we should be disputing among ourselves concerning who shall have that credit which all belongs to Christ?
17002Is the Classis, in evangelizing the heathen around, to operate through the Board, or the Board through the Classis?
17002Is the Dutch Church a hierarchy?
17002Is the Mission, then, to attend to all the evangelistic work, and the Classis to do nothing?
17002Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing?
17002Is this right?
17002Is this the way to keep the Church at Amoy sound and pure?
17002Is this, indeed, as the Committee assert, one of the"admitted principles"of our Church?
17002It ought to be so, ought it not?
17002May the Board of Missions, on mere report or suspicion, recall them without giving them a proper trial?
17002May we not refer, without being charged with disrespect, to the Synod of Jerusalem as a proper example for our General Synod?
17002May we not,_ must_ we not, correct them?
17002No?
17002On the plan proposed, what can the Church do with them?
17002Or are there to be two distinct evangelistic policies carried on at Amoy, the one by the Mission, and the other by the Classis?
17002Or is the Classis first to come over to the Synod, and so get to the Board in order to carry on the work around?
17002Peter says,"Why tempt ye God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither we nor our fathers were able to bear?"
17002Possibly( not probably) the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one?
17002The church grew, and in due time a Consistory was called for; must the work stop, because the Constitution had made no provision?
17002The important question now is, what will be the result of this decision on the Church at Amoy?
17002Then why form the connection?
17002They might by the act of our Church, and_ a correlative act on their own part_, become an integral part of the Church in America?
17002They would have been strictly correct if they had run as follows:"These Churches are_ all_( why say,''_ three at least_''?)
17002We might have acted on such principles, but shall we be_ censured_ for not doing it?
17002We must obey Synod, but may not the Church change or improve her decisions?
17002What made them so?
17002What then?
17002What will be the difficulties when it becomes an_ Indian_ Classis?
17002Who is the Lord of conscience?
17002Why forget or ignore the fact that they are_ Evangelists_ and_ not Pastors_?
17002Why is not the Dutch Church the principal Presbyterian body in this land?
17002Why must we deprive the native Christians of the benefit of the collective wisdom of all the churches of like doctrine and order among them?
17002Why not so?
17002Why not?
17002Why object to an ecclesiastical relationship exactly corresponding to, and required by, their office and position?
17002Why strive to entail like evils on our Missionary churches?
17002Why, then, such questions and suggestions?
17002Will any one assert that the Classis thus formed at Amoy is not a Classis_ de facto_?
17002Will it be said, there is no danger of such difficulty?
17002Will it not seem to them that our Church is deficient in liberality, when they learn the decision of the last Synod?
17002Would such a reflection have been cast on any other body of ministers in our Church?
17002_ They conceived it to be their duty!_ Was it?
17002and where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from?
17002one of the"convictions in the mind of our Church, hardly separable in idea from its very existence?"
17002one of the"old truths maintained through blood and flame?"
17002or are they all_ essentially American_?
17002or that they were in any sense under the control of those bodies?
889Were you brought up in Europe and educated?
889: What had Miss Carl been saying?
889A little boy like you come to fight me?
889After Miss Carl had left the Court, Her Majesty asked me one day:"Did she ever ask you much about the Boxer movement of 1900?"
889After she had passed the camera she turned and asked my brother:"Did you take a picture?"
889After that we return to the Sea Palace, and what can we do with this artist?
889And even if this can be satisfactorily arranged, what about the Winter Palace in the Forbidden City?
889And how do you know that these are my favorites and have placed them near me?
889Another thing-- did you notice that Mrs. Conger handed a parcel to Miss Carl out in the courtyard when she came in?"
889Are these good presents?
889Are you all tired?"
889Are you hungry?
889Are you not dizzy turning round and round?
889Are you standing on your head or feet?"
889Before we had time to explain to her, she said:"I see, dresses with tails behind must be more dignified than short ones, am I right?"
889Ca n''t they see that the veranda is wet?"
889Can you guess what it is?"
889Coming again?"
889Continuing, she said:"By the way, how long will it take before this portrait is finished?"
889Could you get Chinese food when you were abroad, and were you homesick?
889Did any of the foreign ladies ever tell you that I am a fierce- looking old woman?"
889Did n''t I tell you she was watching you when you pulled my sleeve?
889Did you enjoy yourself while you were there, and do you wish to go back again?
889Did you really study to acquire all those languages or was it drinking the water that gave them to you?"
889Did you sleep at all?"
889Do n''t you think that our own customs are much nicer?"
889Do they consider me a man of character and do they think me clever?
889Do you have to jump up and down with men?
889Do you know how the Boxer rising began?
889Do you remember what Her Majesty said to you?
889Do you think they are beautiful?"
889Do you think they, the foreigners, really like me?
889Do you think you know enough Chinese to read this map?"
889Does she speak Chinese?"
889Evans?"
889Has she found out yet that you are there simply to keep an eye upon her?"
889He looked surprised and asked:"Can you take pictures, too?
889Her Majesty exclaimed:"Why is it your head is upside down?
889Her Majesty said to me:"Why ca n''t you win once?"
889Her Majesty said:"I would like to see how you jump, can you show me a little?"
889Her Majesty said:"Why must you change your clothes?
889Her Majesty then enquired:"Do you think that this Artist lady will paint my picture to look black also?
889Her Majesty turned to me and said:"Have you ever witnessed such an operation?"
889Her Majesty walked along a little way, then laughed and said to me:"Do n''t I look more comfortable now?
889How dare she suggest that you would say anything against Miss Carl?
889How dare they give orders without receiving instructions from me first?
889How did you learn?
889How is Yu Keng?"
889How is it?"
889How would you like to look after her?
889I can see that it is myself all right, but why is it that my face and hands are dark?"
889I order you to bring all your things to this place, but what is your father going to do?
889I told her that perhaps Mrs. Conger thought I wanted to advise her to refuse this request, but Her Majesty said:"What does that matter?
889I was very much surprised to see Court ladies doing this kind of work and I said to myself, if I come here will I have to do this sort of thing?
889I wonder who made that story up?
889Is it bad luck?"
889Is it true that the foreigners do n''t respect their parents at all- that they could beat their parents and drive them out of the house?"
889Is that true?"
889Is this dress only worn on certain occasions, or is it worn any time, even when gentlemen are present?"
889Matters became worse day by day and Yung Lu was the only one against the Boxers, but what could one man accomplish against so many?
889Now, where can we put her?
889One day Her Majesty asked me:"What kind of medicine does a foreign doctor usually give in case of a fever?
889Plancon say yesterday?
889She again asked me what was my objection to getting married; was I afraid of having a mother- in- law, or what was it?
889She again examined the portrait and said:"Why is it that one side of your face is painted white and the other black?
889She asked me:"How do you like this kind of life?"
889She asked:"Do you not think this food has more flavor than that prepared by the cooks?"
889She came out and said:"I want to see you people eat; why is it that you are standing at the end of the table, the best dishes are not there?
889She could not understand this at all, and exclaimed:"Why has this gone black?
889She looked surprised and said:"Why did n''t you tell me that before?
889She said that I had guessed right, and asked:"Do you know anything about this audience?
889She said to me:"I know you can wear my shoes, for I tried yours on the first day you came, do n''t you remember?
889She said:"How is it that these foreign ladies have such large feet?
889She said:"If her brother has been in the Customs service for so long, how is it that she does n''t speak Chinese also?"
889She said:"Oh, must you jump with music?"
889She said:"What kind of a place is this wonderful Paris I have heard so much about?
889She sat up on the bed, smiled, and said:"Are you glad to come back?
889She smiled and asked:"Have you had a good rest?
889Tell me, have you yet changed your opinion with regard to foreign customs?
889Tell me, is not this so?"
889That night one Court lady came over to me while I was sitting on the veranda and said:"I wonder if you will look nice in Manchu dress?"
889Then I heard Her Majesty say to the Emperor,"Is that correct?"
889Then she asked us:"Is it very tiring to hold half of your dress in your hand when you are walking?
889Then she said:"Has anyone told you to put them away as soon as I am finished with them?
889They asked:"Do you think you would like to live in this place, and how long do you intend to stay?"
889This Li was indeed a bad and cruel man, and said:"Why not beat him to death?"
889Was she really pleased?
889What does the Emperor know?
889What is dancing?
889What is the general opinion amongst the foreigners regarding myself?
889What is the matter with you?"
889What is the use of changing everything?
889When Her Majesty saw me, she asked me:"Where have you been?"
889When will he be able to come to the Court?
889When will it take place?"
889While we were talking Her Majesty said that she felt chilly and asked:"Are you cold?
889Who can the rest of the people be?
889Who told you to come and wake me?"
889Who told you?"
889Why are your arms and neck all bare?
889Why could n''t they leave China to deal with her own subjects and mind their own business a little more?
889Why did n''t you show them to me before?"
889Would n''t it be foolish to have a school at the Palace; besides, where am I going to get so many girls to study?
889and on my brother answering that he had, Her Majesty said:"Why did n''t you tell me?
889it is you, is it?
63233''Are the Manchus capable of regeneration?'' 63233 ''Do you think the baby Emperor can be raised to be a capable sovereign for the nation?''
63233''Has Yuan Shih K''ai any reason to love the Manchus?'' 63233 ''Has she any real power?''
63233''How are they brought up in the palace and what is the influence of this upon their views about government?'' 63233 ''If the Monarchy is retained, what reforms should be made in the social life of the Court?''
63233''What are the first things to be done in China to institute real reform?'' 63233 ''What is the chief source of their inefficiency-- does it lie in their characters, training, or habits?''
63233''What kind of Government do you think is better for the present?
63233''What kind of a woman is the present Empress Dowager?'' 63233 ''What part is she likely to play if the infant Emperor remains upon the throne under a Constitutional Government and Chinese Regency?
63233''What part will the Manchus of all kinds play in China under a Constitutional or Republican Government?'' 63233 ''What sort of education and surroundings should he have?''
63233''Who is, then, the real power among the Manchu nobility?'' 63233 ''Why are the Manchu princes and high officials so inefficient?''
63233Are they? 63233 Are you quite sure that the Revolution will be permanently successful, that all China will become loyal to the Republican flag?"
63233As regards business, do you think that Hankow will benefit in trade from the Revolution?
63233But do n''t you think that that''s a funny sort of_ tao li_ for Chinese to kill Chinese?
63233But do you think the Revolutionary party, as it is, strong enough to establish conditions which shall permanently make for peace and real progress?
63233Do you think that Yuan Shih K''ai will be the first President?
63233Have you any more to say?
63233How often would you elect a President? 63233 Of course, you have been a Revolutionary for some years, have you not?"
63233Well, will you be in favour of granting concessions to foreign syndicates for the development of mines and so on?
63233What are you going to do now?
63233What do you consider the main point upon which the two parties will have difficulty in seeing eye to eye about at the Peace Conference?
63233Where to?
63233Who are your political associates at this time?
63233Who do you think you would ask to become the President-- Yuan Shih K''ai perhaps?
63233Why, General Li, did the Revolution break out? 63233 After a moment I suggested:But Yuan Shih K''ai is one of your great friends, is he not?"
63233Ah, who knew?
63233And have you ever seen a cargo of human freight not knowing what to do to reach the shore or any place of safety?
63233And imagining, think you that you could describe?
63233Another Dynasty, or a Republic?
63233Are we not all alike, subjects of the great Manchu Dynasty, and shall we not acquit ourselves like men in the service of the State?
63233But I ask again, Can_ you_ imagine all this?
63233But is there no way to avert it?
63233But shall we?
63233But what at?
63233But what is the sum of it all?
63233But what was happening elsewhere?
63233But{ 286} what is the genius of any reform, and what are the elements which ensure its success?
63233Ca n''t you stop this dreadful carnage?
63233Can you tell me briefly the specific reason you assign for the outbreak to have taken place so suddenly?"
63233Coming over to me, with sincerity shining in his eyes, he exclaimed:"Come, you''re a journalist; ca n''t you help us?
63233Could a Republic solve these offhand?
63233Did they think that the great bulk of the common people of China actually understood what the issues were?
63233Do you not think, General Li, that Christianity will become more popular among the people as the country is opened up more?"
63233Fighting was still heavy, but every moment made a difference-- and who knew but that those blind boys were being burnt alive?
63233Have you ever noticed how soon a Chinese can spoil or totally destroy things in general?
63233Have you ever seen a boat drifting on a rapid river?
63233Have you ever watched a Chinese junk, ungainly and ugly perhaps, just going helplessly with the tide?
63233How can they think that?
63233I know that General Li Yuan Hung is anxious for a Republic, but do you think there are many who would rather see a Republic than anything else?"
63233If further war were to come?
63233If he is true, why does he not withdraw his army at once and let there be peace?
63233If the present Dynasty would be overthrown, what would replace it?
63233If we had agreed to your terms, had you any means of compelling the Manchu Government to fulfil its promises?
63233In the battle of brains( as well as of bullets) who would prove to be the stronger man?
63233Is China, the oldest, and to all outward seeming one of the most effete, of Oriental monarchies, fit for so vast a change?
63233Is it not a well- known fact that every anti- Christian outbreak invariably brings misery to the stupid innocent people of the district concerned?
63233Is not this a lamentable thing?
63233Is there no way to save the lives and property of millions of people?
63233Now how can they bear fine sons?
63233Or would{ 193} a republic have a better prospect?
63233Should Yuan Shih K''ai concede the point at issue and assent to a Republic, what then?
63233Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, till eight o''clock in the morning-- after then, what?
63233THE PEACE CONFERENCE-- A MONARCHY OR A REPUBLIC?
63233The letter continued:"Are you not the most famous and most able man among the Chinese?
63233The next point is, Who is to get it, and how is it to be got?
63233The students rule the people-- who rules the students?
63233Then--"Where do you come from?
63233There will be need for foreign loans now more than ever?"
63233They have decided cases unjustly, and what not?
63233Was it Yuan?
63233Was there to be any more fighting?
63233What can they do with power?
63233What do you want?
63233What else are the mutations of the Yin and the Yang?
63233What man could convert Szechuan, Kiangsi, Anhui, Kiangsu, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Yunnan, Kweichow, Shansi, and Shensi to republicanism?
63233What was she going to do?
63233Who wants to protest against this thing?
63233Why not meet and set younger civilisations an example in civics?
63233Yuan was looked upon as being the great man who could make no false moves; Li was merely a trained soldier, and what could he know?
63233{ 183}"Do you in Wuchang still hold out so strongly for the Republican form of government as you did?
63233{ 185} CHAPTER XIII THE PEACE CONFERENCE-- A MONARCHY OR A REPUBLIC?
63233{ 62} What nationality are you?"
63233{ 81} CHAPTER VIII THE BURNING OF HANKOW Have you ever seen a fire-- a big fire?
37376''What miscellaneous account of mine?'' 37376 ''Who''s a magician?''
37376All were killed-- none were left?
37376And is there security here?
37376And now-- where is the fighting now-- have all the devils been driven into the sea?
37376And those shoes?
37376And were you afraid?
37376And what have you done in the way of work?
37376And what is your purpose in journeying when all is unsettled?
37376And you?
37376But are you sure that you can keep it there for many days?
37376But give me to eat?
37376But the dead-- what of the dead?
37376But the year of the test, may I not learn the year?
37376But where-- in what direction?
37376But would you not show fear?
37376But your full name?
37376Certain powers are given: otherwise how comes it that the sword draws no blood?
37376Do you wish to fight?
37376Has he been here long?
37376How could we know? 37376 How has this happened?"
37376How is it possible to talk of security, when we fear at any moment the resumption of fighting? 37376 How is it that you who lack food have money?"
37376How is it?
37376How many coins? 37376 In the city--""And what is your name?"
37376Is not that what I declared?
37376Is that supposition true, do you think?
37376Just as he was speaking the chirping of a small bird was heard in a tree, so they all asked the priest:''Listen to the bird; what is he saying?''
37376Leave the boy alone-- go your way-- what have you to do with him?
37376Tell me: was there not fighting here last month? 37376 That is all?"
37376The city,he exclaimed in his rude, guttural voice,"would you see the city?"
37376Then what will you do?
37376Um,said the priest,"and how many such coins have you with you?"
37376Up there was it that you saw it?
37376Was that laughable or not?
37376Well, is it good?
37376Well, what do you say?
37376Well-- what do you think of it?
37376What can I do?
37376What do you mean?
37376What have you got to do with me and what have I to do with you?
37376What is it-- what does the writing say?
37376What is it?
37376What is your Honourable intention?
37376What is your name?
37376What work?
37376What would you?
37376What''s a bad business?
37376What''s the matter?
37376What,cried the woman,"you would eat all our store for one small_ tiao_ of money?"
37376Where are your relatives?
37376Where do we go?
37376Where do you come from?
37376Where do you come from?
37376Where is it?
37376Where?
37376Who gave you permission to go up there? 37376 Who is it that laughed?"
37376Who is that?
37376Who is your honourable Saint?
37376Whose child is this?
37376Whose money was it you carried?
37376Whose money, I say?
37376You would strike me with that?
37376_ Lao- ho- shang_, have you noticed that an ear has dropped off?
37376_ Shui_--(who is that)?
37376''What do they say this time?''
37376And should I give away from my small store when I may shortly be in need myself?"
37376And the Sword Society, have we them also to expect?"
37376And where is the money your mother gave you that I may feed you?"
37376Are you ready?"
37376As for renovation where shall I find funds?
37376But almost at once she changed her mind and exclaimed irately:"What are you doing up there, ill- educated boy?"
37376But is it not true that my gatekeeper was once a robber?
37376But just then the girl asked:"Will you risk climbing up again?"
37376But what do you do in the house?"
37376But where was the foreign army-- where?
37376But who was to do anything?
37376But why did you wish to look over?"
37376Do you understand?"
37376Do you understand?"
37376Do you understand?"
37376Do you understand?"
37376Had all been massacred?
37376He tried again:"_ Yeh- yeh_( grandfather) can you not give me some comforting information about this neighbourhood?"
37376He tried to calculate how many days had passed since he had left the capital-- was it six, seven or eight?
37376How and when?"
37376How could people travel when there were no conveyances for hire?
37376How many times have you been warned that if you break orders you would be dismissed?"
37376If I go who is there to insure safety?"
37376If they did that to the men what would they not do to him?
37376If you do n''t believe this what objection is there to your going and inquiring?''
37376In any case it is too late to turn back, for whither should we go?"
37376In smuggling, the account of the smuggled goods is always carried like that--""But then it may be known to others?"
37376It was so rumoured in our locality?"
37376My grandfather is the steward-- has no one told you?
37376Now he went to the nearest foreign gateway, and accosting a man there asked:"Is there no place where I can most easily see all the foreigners?"
37376Now the hands?"
37376One of the guests at the table said,''Do you hear this bird?
37376Still there was no doubt or hesitation in his reply:"How can I forget that Your Honour''s house gave me employment and food when I was in want?
37376The boy stammered:"My full name?
37376The priest eyed him suspiciously for a long time and at last commenced this interrogatory:"How far have you journeyed?"
37376The resentment within him had faded, for was this not his father?
37376Then he asked:"And you, will you follow the example of the others?"
37376There will be no soldiers about, for what would soldiers be doing in marshes?
37376Two snakes-- what did two snakes mean?
37376Well-- he had travelled far and braved many risks-- was that not enough?
37376Were they barking at some person or merely baying an evening salute?
37376What did it mean?
37376What did this mean?
37376What does he say?''
37376What is the nearest village?"
37376What will be our lot then?"
37376Where do you go?"
37376Where have these eaters of foreign rice gone?"
37376Where now were the watchers of crops?
37376Whither should I flee even if there were the great danger since I am without parents?"
37376Who will face danger willingly and not hesitate if by another way there is safety?
37376Why had the others not done what they had undertaken to do?
37376Why has it not come-- who is arresting its progress?
37376Why indeed should any one mind?
37376Why should n''t he run away, too?
37376With trouble abroad how dare I venture out?
37376Would they be allowed to proceed?
19665Does that not sound familiar to thine ears? 19665 How have you eaten?"
19665Thou hast seen her?
1966525 Is there anything so wonderful as being the mother of a son?
1966526 Dost thou know what love is?
196654 My Dear Mother, Dost thou remember Liang Tai- tai, the daughter of the Princess Tseng, thine old friend of Pau- chau?
19665And what is our conscience but the inherited sum of countless dead experiences with all things good and evil?"
19665Are not our ancestors in very truth our souls?
19665Art thou dissatisfied with me?
19665Art thou not glad that thou art in a far- off country?
19665Art thou not tired of that far- off country?
19665But why?
19665But, instead, what have they done?
19665Can I ever forget that day when I came to my husband''s people?
19665Canst send me Feng- yi, who understands our customs?
19665Canst thou hear her, and see her shake her head dolefully over the dismal fact that thou hast left the narrow way of Confucius and the classics?
19665Canst thou imagine it?
19665Canst thou imagine thy Mother''s face if a God from a stranger family was in the niche above the stove?
19665Canst thou send me Wong- si for a few months?
19665Did I say I disliked these foreigners?
19665Did he not say frankly that he must consult his mother, and was he not honoured and given permission to come to his home to have thy blessing?
19665Did not thy son have to ask thy leave before he would decide that he could go with His Highness to the foreign lands?
19665Do I love thee?
19665Do I speak strongly, my Mother?
19665Does it bring back thy son?
19665Does it bring thee happiness, my lord?
19665Does it make a quick little catch in thy breath?
19665Does not that make thee think of thy childhood''s days?
19665Does thy pulse quicken at the thought that soon thou wilt be a father?
19665Dost thou remember Chen- peh, who is from my province and who married Ling Peh- yu about two moons after I came to thy household?
19665Dost thou remember him?
19665Dost thou remember him?
19665Dost thou remember it?
19665Dost thou remember the Kwan- lin Pagoda?
19665Dost thou remember the servant Cho- to, who came to us soon after I became thy bride?
19665Dost thou remember the story over which the Chinese in all the Empire laughed within their sleeves?
19665Dost thou remember the wife of Wang, the secretary of the embassy at London?
19665Dost thou remember when first thou raised my veil and looked long into my eyes?
19665For centuries untold, men have been able to support their wives; why enter the market- places?
19665Have I done wrong?
19665He said, just like a child,"Why should I go?
19665How can I describe them to thee so that thou wilt understand?
19665How can she feel, how can she know, that thing of gilded wood and plaster?
19665How can they expect us to believe in this great Teacher when they themselves are doubtful of his message, and criticise quite openly their Holy Book?
19665I do everything the same as if thou wert here, and in everything I say,"Would this please my master?"
19665I often ask, when looking at my son, what is his gain?
19665I said nothing-- what is the use?
19665I said, quite calmly for me,"Thou meanest thou art choosing thy wife instead of allowing thy father and mother to choose her?"
19665I said,"Do you want little eyes to fill with tears each time they see you coming across the courtyard?
19665I said,"Is not four years of college in America enough?
19665I said,"There are too many Gods-- why add a new one?
19665I said,"Why, is she a friend of thy sister''s?"
19665I sat back in my chair and looked at him, and said within myself,"Was ever mother blessed with such children; what may I next expect?"
19665I say,"I am too old; I have suffered in the binding, why suffer in the unbinding?"
19665I say,"Thou dost not understand?
19665I was thinking,"Will he find me beautiful?"
19665I wonder what will be the outcome of it all; if after all this turmoil and bloodshed China will really become a different nation?
19665If a woman bear not sons for her lord, what worth her life?
19665If it is true, should education and science make its teaching less authentic?
19665If it were not for the kindly sun which dries them, how could they toil and work and drag the great rice- boats up to the water- gate?
19665In this passage from the unknown to the unknown, this pilgrimage of life, which is the straight path, which the true road-- if indeed there be a Way?
19665Is he not a God to them?"
19665Is it not enough that they take care of the home, that they train the children and fulfill the duties of the life in which the Gods place women?
19665Is it not ridiculous, little Mah- li needing a strong hand?
19665Is not every action the work of the dead who dwell within us?
19665Is there not work enough for our men in the province without going to that land of heat and sickness?
19665Is this a long and tiresome letter, my Honourable Mother?
19665My husband was bewailing the fact of the empty strong- box, and Wang said,"Why do n''t you do what I did when I was in command of the troops?
19665My last letter was unhappy, and these little slips of paper must bring to thee joy, not sorrow, else why the written word?
19665My wife, my sons, my home, my all, were within the walls; why go outside?"
19665Now would this tortoise rather be dead and have its remains venerated, or be alive and wagging its tail in the mud?"
19665Of what use is it in the end?
19665Of what worth that clothing lying in that box of camphor- wood?
19665Oh, Mother mine, why didst thou send to me that priest of thine?
19665Oh, dear one, dost thou understand that, to a woman who loves, her husband is more than Heaven, more than herself?
19665Shall we insist that they return to the old regime and learn nothing but embroidery?
19665She gave her sleep; and who can blame her?
19665She was cold, and thy Mother came to me so gently and said,"Kwei- li, hast thou no clothing for the child that was found by thy servants?"
19665Should we think of that thing which is in each of us and which we call''I''should it be''I''or''they''?
19665Sometimes I think,"If something should happen; if the Gods should be jealous of my happiness and I should not see thee more?"
19665Their courtesy, what is it?
19665Then he thought,"If there is ater here for me, why not for all this great city of many tens of thousands?"
19665What can we do?
19665What do I do?
19665What is honour, what is this country, this fighting, quarrelling, maddened country, what is our fame, in comparison to his dear life?
19665What is it that has given these men this marvellous adaptability to all conditions, however hard they may seem?
19665What is life?
19665What is our pride or shame but the pride or shame of the unseen in that which they have made?
19665What is progress?
19665What is the true answer; where may we find it?
19665What is there to compare in binding power to the family customs of our people?
19665What will become of the filial piety that has been the backbone of our country?
19665What will they do to gain their food in this great country which is already full to over- flowing?
19665When wilt thou come to me, thou keeper of my heart?
19665Whence do I come; where do I go?
19665Where is there one so autocratic in her own home as a Chinese mother?
19665Which is the Way, which path to God is broad enough for all the world?
19665Which is the best?
19665Whose holy book holds the key that will open wide the door?
19665Why can not we, with our unlimited numbers, make an army that will cause our country to be respected and take its place among the powers of the world?
19665Why can they not take what is best for an Eastern woman from the learning of the West, as the bee selects honey from each flower, and leave the rest?
19665Why could they not have left thy son for thee to see?
19665Why four years''separation to prepare to go to that college?
19665Why then not set our hearts at rest, why wear the soul with anxious thoughts?
19665Why, Mother- mine, didst thou send the old priest from the temple down here?
19665Why, then, should our young people be ashamed of their country''s learning?
19665You ask me how I pass my days?
609Ca n''t you spare a glance? 609 After all, the main question is, does a sensational play exercise a beneficial or a pernicious influence over the audience? 609 Again, can Americans say that they are happier than the Chinese? 609 Air in a closed cage must be mischievous, and what are ill- ventilated rooms but vicious air cages, in which mischiefs of all sorts breed? 609 America professes to believe in publicity, and what ispublicity"but the open window and the open door?
609American versus Chinese Civilization( Continued) The question has often been asked"Which are the civilized nations?"
609Are not many women practically governed by their husbands, whose word is their law?
609Are there not many in their midst who are friendless and penurious?
609Are they happier than others?
609Are they indeed so"highly civilized"as to be in all respects worthy paragons to the so- called semi- civilized nations?
609Are they not swayed in politics by their"bosses", and do not many of them act and vote as their bosses dictate?
609But are they perfectly free, and are they really independent?
609But do Chinese really make good husbands?
609But what have been the advantages to Great Britain?
609But when a serious play ending tragically is put on the boards is that amusement?
609But who wishes to attack her?
609But why not consent to allow the cardinal principles of morality to be taught in every school?
609Does not this indicate that the intellect of the American woman is equal, if not superior, to that of the men?
609Does the superior cunning and intellect of man warrant his taking life for fun?
609During the Russo- Japan War was it not the yellow race that displayed the superior intelligence?
609First, as regards the weather, does woman''s dress protect her from the cold?
609Have they succeeded in prolonging their lives?
609Have we got a chance?
609How does this compare with the states in America?
609I should like to know how many persons pay even a little attention to this important subject of pure air breathing?
609If so, why?
609If this high- toned doctrine continues where will it end?
609In addition to the suggestions I have made, may I be pardoned another?
609In domestic circles are not many husbands hen- pecked by their wives, because they, and not the men, rule the roost?
609In his home and his office has he not enough to engage his serious attention, and to frequently worry his mind?
609In society are they not bound by conventionalities and, dare they infringe the strict rules laid down by the society leaders?
609In the matter of dress also are they not slaves, abjectly following new- fangled fashions imported from Paris?
609Is anything more important than that which concerns their health and comfort?
609Is it advisable to adopt a similar system in the United States?
609Is it for the purpose of emigration?
609Is it for the purpose of trade?
609Is it not amusement?
609Is it not good for both to learn the same subjects?
609Is it to be wondered at that American servants have different manners from their brethren in other countries?
609Is it worth his while to dress and spend an evening watching a performance which, however skilfully played, will make him no happier than before?
609Is not the slogan of nationality, to a great extent, the root of the evil?
609Let me ask again what is the object of nations seeking new possessions?
609Now Hongkong is a self- supporting colony, but what benefits do the British enjoy there that do not belong to everyone else?
609Now does the dress of Americans meet these requirements?
609Now what is Civilization?
609Ought a free and independent people to live after this fashion?
609Should such people be denied admission into Australia, Canada, or the United States?
609Should we encourage such artful devices?
609Sir, strive to keep the world in its original simplicity-- why so much fuss?
609That which is good for a boy to learn is it not equally advisable for a girl to know, and vice versa?
609The Importance of Names"What''s in a name?
609The name of Emperor may be distasteful to some, but may not a new meaning be given to it?
609The theater, as I have already said, was in several countries religious in its origin; why not use it to elevate people indirectly?
609Then I said to the young lady,"Will you accept his offer?"
609This science is undoubtedly of the first importance, but what advantage is good birth if afterward life is poisoned with foul air?
609To the query,"What about the nations in the East?"
609Was I to be blamed for wondering if the elevator would be my coffin?
609What about the sufferings of pugilists who take part in the prize- fights, in which so many thousands in the United States delight?
609What benefit does he receive from witnessing a tragedy?
609What effect will this have on mankind?
609What pleasure can there be in being tricked?
609What right have we to wantonly kill these harmless and defenseless birds flying in the air?
609What, I ask, is the advantage of adding to national territory?
609What, however, we may ask, is the object of the theater?
609When he said this did he think of the way the women of his country dress when they go to a ball?
609When such a state of things exists can international peace be perpetuated?
609When the matter is further pressed and it is asked,"What about China?"
609When you purchase a knife do n''t you expect to use it?
609Whence but from himself?
609Why are the world''s armaments constantly increasing?
609Why do we dress at all?
609Why not convene an international congress to decide as to the best form of dress for men and women?
609Why not go a step further and preach through a play?
609Why should not hostesses make as much effort to stimulate the minds of their guests as they do to gratify their palates?
609Why should such matters invariably be remanded to formal conferences and set speeches?
609Why should the world assume a depressing monotony of costume?
609Why should we allow nature''s diversities to disappear?
609Why then forbid cockfighting or bull- baiting?
609Will not occasion be found to test those war implements and to utilize the naval and military men?
609Will not such a policy create mutual sympathy between the sexes?
609Will some one inform me why so many varieties of wines are always served on American tables, and why the sparkling champagne is never avoidable?
609Will the great American nation still refuse to consent to this?
609Will the twentieth century witness the collapse of our present civilization?
609With their genius for invention why have they not discovered means to safeguard themselves so that they can live longer on this earth?
609Would not the exclusionists in those countries profit by association with them?
609what differs more than man from man, And whence that difference?
15125But can you govern the empire on horseback? 15125 Has he been called to account?"
15125Is it not evident that whatever spark caused the explosion, the nitro- glycerin that made it possible came from the boycott? 15125 Shall I then have no tidings of mankind?
15125Suppose,said one of his students,"that Shun''s father had killed a man, would Shun, being king, have allowed him to be condemned?"
15125We beg your pardon, we know enough about Asia; but what of America-- does polygamy flourish there?

15125What is to hinder us from doing what those islanders have done?

15125And is she not at this moment taking the medicine of Japan?
15125Are not the same to be seen all the way from Afghanistan to Dahomey?
15125Are the Chinese hostile to these branches of missionary work?
15125But do we not know how it has been fostered in China?
15125But how about the preaching missionary and the teaching missionary?
15125But is there not a deplorable difference between the conditions under which it is used in the two countries?
15125But what do they think now, when they see cabinets and chambers of commerce compelled to reckon with the British of the North Pacific?
15125But what of the feeling towards religious missions?
15125But where would he look for the third?
15125But why extend the gruesome list?
15125But will they not see it when the trolleys run?
15125Chinese authors assert that it was sent in search of the"elixir of life,"but do they not distort everything in the history of the First Hwang- ti?
15125Could Hebrew or Arab hospitality surpass it?
15125Could he have been less humane in the treatment of his new subjects?
15125Did not China after a trial of European methods also relapse during the Boxer craze into her old superstitions?
15125Did she hate the foreigner for driving her away, or did she thank him for her repeated restoration?
15125Do not these specimens show a laudable attempt to simulate a free press?
15125Do our Chinese friends wish to be looked on as Quakers, or do they desire to fraternise freely with the people of the great West?
15125Do they not announce more clearly than the batteries which command the waterway the coming of a new China?
15125Does not China do the same when she mistakes hostility to foreigners for patriotism?
15125Had they not made war on China ten years before because they could brook no rival in the peninsula?
15125Has not Carlyle shown in his"Sartor Resartus"how the Philosophy of Clothes is fundamental to the history of civilisation?
15125Has not hatred of the foreigner been mistaken for patriotism, and been secretly instigated as a safeguard against foreign aggression?
15125Have we not seen her in that splendid portrait executed by Miss Carl, and exhibited at St. Louis?
15125He expired on the island of Shang- chuen or St. John''s, exclaiming"O rock, rock, when wilt thou open?"
15125How could China be opened; how was a stable equilibrium possible so long as foreign powers were kept at a distance from the capital of the Empire?
15125How could they tolerate the intrusion of Russia?
15125How does her period of probation compare with that of her neighbour?
15125If she makes things easy for China this time, will it not be because the Republic is engaged in mortal combat with the Roman Church?
15125If so, might it not be possible to wrest the sceptre from their feeble grasp, and emancipate the Chinese race?
15125If stocks pay well, why should not the Government hold them?
15125If we of the Yellow Race only stand together, What foreign power will dare to molest us?
15125If we suspect the artist of flattery, have we not a gallery of photographs, in which she shows herself in many a majestic pose?
15125In China does not the coming of a parliament involve the previous issue of a Magna Charta?
15125In view of these facts, what wonder that Chinese newspapers are discussing the question of a national religion?
15125Is flattery possible to a sunbeam?
15125Is it merely tributary or is it a portion of the Chinese Empire?
15125Is it not because greatness in these higher realms requires patient thought for due appreciation?
15125Is it not probable that the same view of the situation flashed on the minds of all three simultaneously?
15125Is it not probable that their representations, backed by the viceroy, moved the hand that sways the sceptre?
15125Is it not probable that they were occupied in making good their claim to the nine provinces emblazoned on the tripods?
15125Is it not therefore a fair question whether the maintenance of these old restrictions is desirable or politic?
15125Is it not to be regretted that the Chinese are excluded from the Philippines?
15125Is not China in danger of being left to the fate which her friends have sought to avert?

15125Is there a people in either hemisphere that can afford to look on with indifference?
15125May we not look forward with confidence to a time when China shall be found in the brotherhood of Christian nations?
15125Might we not call the place the Temple of Cain?
15125On one occasion a feudal prince asked the question,"How heavy are these tripods?"
15125One may ask, too, would Japan have come to terms so readily if she had not seen her huge neighbour bowing to superior force?
15125One of the princes asking him,"How do you know that I have it in me to become a good ruler?"
15125Say, when shall we next meet together?
15125Shall we describe such manifestations as hysteria, hypnotism, or hypocrisy?
15125Should they turn back or push ahead?
15125That he was allowed to do so-- does it not speak as much for the morality of Ts''in as for the courage of Lin?
15125The new education requires new tests; but what is to hinder their incorporation in the old system?
15125The question arises, did we know her in person and character?
15125The question no doubt arises in the mind of the reader, Will China succeed in freeing herself from bondage to this hateful vice?
15125To him a golden dream, will it ever be a reality to his people?
15125Too late for Port Arthur, might they not reënforce Vladivostok and save it from a like fate?
15125Was it not the satisfaction of a gladiator who seated himself on the throne of the Cæsars in a burning amphitheatre?
15125Was not this a sure sign that their divine commission had been withdrawn by the Court of Heaven?
15125We heartily approve the practice of Europe, but what of Africa?"
15125What better evidence than that he has kept himself on top of a rolling log for thirty years?
15125What but that impelled her to seek for it a second terminus on the Gulf of Pechili?
15125What but that led her to construct the longest railway in the world?

15125What influence can we presume on when our commodities are shut out, not by legislative action but as a result of popular resentment?
15125What may we not expect when the women learn to read, and when education becomes more general among men?
15125What of the other 14,000?
15125What shall be said of the successors of Cheng- wang?
15125What use had they for books on that subject, so long as they held no intercourse on equal terms with foreign countries?

15125What was the real object of that strange expedition?
15125What, for example, was the lady from Szechuen doing but carrying on a customary[ Page 299] form of the slave traffic?
15125When these changes come, what will be left of this queer antique?
15125Where could it be, if not in that very channel?
15125Where is there another conqueror in the annals of the world who has such solid claims to everlasting renown?
15125Where there was no tribute and no command, why send them?
15125Who says the Chinese are not original?
15125Who will find us a man to take them in hand and keep them in place?"
15125Why did they not enact a law that no man should surpass the longevity of his father?
15125Why sought this mountain den?
15125Why?
15125Will not the new arts and sciences of the West convince them that their Sage was not omniscient?
15125Will they persist in burning incense before it to disguise its ill- odour, or will they bury it out of sight at once and for ever?
15125Would not the future of that archipelago be brighter if the shiftless native were replaced by the thrifty Chinaman?
43549And how long will he remain there?
43549Are you all Ladakis?
43549But is it not possible that the prisoner may speak to the monk who pushes the_ tsamba_ dish into the loophole? 43549 But what happens if he is ill?
43549But who are you?
43549But why? 43549 Did I not tell you that I was not going to Khotan by the ordinary route, but by roundabout ways which would demand at least two months?"
43549Did you not promise to give me the black horse in exchange for butter? 43549 Does the Sahib remember me?"
43549Does the road cross over high passes?
43549Has he relations?
43549Has that ever happened?
43549How long has he lived in the darkness?
43549How old is he?
43549Is it not beautiful?
43549Is it not just as wrong to kill sheep and eat their flesh?
43549Is not our country hard and terrible to live in? 43549 May he never come out again into the daylight before his death?"
43549Tell us, Bombo Chimbo, is it you, with your glass and measuring instruments, that is keeping back the rain this year? 43549 Then he must have enough light to read by?"
43549What are the names of the others?
43549What colour is he?
43549What does Lobsang think?
43549What horse is that?
43549What if we have to stay here till the lake freezes over, four months hence?
43549What is it?
43549What is the name of the lama who is now walled up in this cell?
43549What is to be done? 43549 What is to be done?"
43549What man is that?
43549What would you do if I quietly disappeared one night? 43549 Whence have you come?"
43549Where does the lake lie?
43549Where has he come from?
43549Where have you come from?
43549Which of you is my cook?
43549Who is the caravan bashi?
43549Why do you weep?
43549You are then eleven men altogether-- three Lamaists and eight Mohammedans?
43549You never know, then, how he is?
43549You will perhaps allow two of my own servants to carry a letter from me to Gyangtse?
43549And he thinks:"What is a short earthly life in darkness compared to the glorious light of eternity?"
43549And if we tried to slink through to Rudok and thence make eastwards?
43549And then?
43549Are you mad?
43549Are you well armed?"
43549But does he clearly conceive what this means?
43549But how much water flows to the lake by underground passages which we could not measure?
43549But how would that be possible?
43549But tell me why you have come back again?
43549But would it be prudent to advance further into Nepal?
43549Can not he get help?"
43549Did I not tell you expressly to take barley for 2½ months?"
43549Did it actually exist?
43549Did you not obey my orders?
43549Does he not hear what we are saying, or, at least, that some one is talking outside his den?"
43549Every time I write in my diary"the first,"I wonder what the new month holds in its lap-- new discoveries or new disappointments?
43549Had I not already brought about Hlaje Tsering''s fall, and would I cause the new Governor of Naktsang to meet the same fate?
43549Had he gone quite off his head?
43549Had he got lost, or was he a scout sent out to see if the ice were broken up on the lakes to the north?
43549Had you not enough last year, when you were obliged to leave the country by the road to Ladak?
43549Had, perchance, the horses strayed away?
43549Has the Gossul monastery been changed by some whim of the gods into an air- ship which is bearing us away to another planet?
43549Have you brought me a message?"
43549He had 2500 rupees with him; had he decamped, or had he been robbed?
43549He said himself that he would crawl to Shyok, but how was he to get across the river?
43549Here you have me again; what do you mean to do with me?"
43549How far would this snow extend?
43549How has it been produced, since the lake is quite peaceful?
43549How have you found the way?
43549How is that possible, and why are you come?"
43549How seldom are all these conditions fulfilled?
43549How was this to be done?
43549How would it all end?
43549I clapped him on the shoulder, saying,"Do you know me again, Pemba Tsering?"
43549I could not avoid Rawling''s and Deasy''s country, but what did it matter?
43549In Turkestan one simply encamps when a storm comes on, but what is the use of encamping to await the end of a storm which lasts thirty days?
43549In a corner surely waves a Swedish flag?
43549Is June to be reckoned among the winter months?
43549Is not the Bombo Chimbo''s country( India) better?"
43549It is very kind of you to say so, but would it not be better if you were to love your own country a little more?
43549Late at night two horsemen rode past our camp; the watchmen called out"Who''s there?"
43549May I hear which way you really wish to take?"
43549Mundang is marked on the English maps of Nepal, but who was Lo Gapu,"the King of the Southern Land"?
43549Nothing could be done with the leather waistcoat and the fur coat; they would not be dry by night, but what did it matter?
43549On the morning of May 27 the weather was really fine after a minimum of only 23 °; had the spring come at last?
43549Or what did I mean?
43549Shall we leave it on the right or left?
43549Shall we turn back?
43549Should I never cross the Trans- Himalaya again?
43549Should we be able to cross it with our little caravan?
43549Should we be successful, and be able to complete this exceedingly important meridional traverse through an unknown part of Tibet?
43549Should we succeed, or should we be forced back when we had traversed only half the distance across the blank space?
43549Should we try to make a road along which the animals could be helped over the blocks by the united strength of the men?
43549Should we venture in our little canvas boat on the lake, exposed to all the winds?
43549Should we venture to creep along the shore southwards so as to reach a point opposite the camp?
43549Stags''horns are set up on a_ mani_ heap; where do they come from?
43549Then the thought shot through my mind:"Is the boat moored securely?
43549Was it now the turn of the men after half the caravan had been lost?
43549Was it one of the men who had been drowned in the winter?
43549We are a little beyond the promontory; would it not be better to turn back?
43549We are certainly past the early days of August, but is it possible that autumn is already beginning?
43549We see the boat filling slowly-- shall we reach the bank before it sinks?
43549Were the dogs keeping together, or were they seeking us along different paths, having lost each other?
43549Were they afraid of us or were they suspicious?
43549Were they spies?
43549Were we hurt at all, and would we come up into the monastery and spend the night in their warm rooms?
43549What could the Tibetans be thinking of?
43549What did they want?
43549What do you mean to do then?"
43549What has become of the earth, if all is sky and clouds?
43549What if I went down into Nepal and came back again into Tibet by unguarded roads?
43549What if we went through the Chang- chenmo valley to Pamzal and the Lanak- la?
43549What in the world did this mean?
43549What is the use of looking forward to spring when the days are darker as time goes on?
43549What is your occupation?"
43549What news?"
43549What shall we do then?
43549What would she do when night came down with its dreadful darkness and its prowling wolves?
43549What would they say, what would they do, if we were drowned like cats in this raging lake?
43549Where are the others?"
43549Where was she?
43549Which was more expedient-- to travel north- east or south- west?
43549Who was he?
43549Why do you ask the names of the valleys?"
43549Why had we not started an hour earlier, instead of watching the religious ablutions of the Hindus?
43549Why have you come back again?"
43549Why have you travelled in winter?
43549Why is the beautiful view concealed and the daylight excluded?
43549Why then do you travel by this dangerous side route?
43549Will you agree to accompany me to Kamba Tsenam''s tent, four days''journey from here?
43549Will you instead have the kindness to follow us to Semoku by the Tsango, on the_ tasam_, which is only two days''journey to the south- west?
43549Would he keep his word?
43549what was she doing at this moment?
14345What is my crime?
14345Which side will win the war? 14345 And as the Powers will be afraid of a second world- war, who will come to our aid? 14345 And why must it be so? 14345 And yet is there no plan possible whereby she may be saved? 14345 At what precise moment will that occur? 14345 But at this season of construction and dire crisis how shall these mutual suspicions find a place? 14345 But can we suspect the troops-- so long trained under the Great President-- of such unworthy conduct? 14345 But do they even know whether the Great President has taken the least part in connection with the phantasies of the past four months? 14345 But what a year and what a day we are now living in? 14345 Can it be imagined that Chang Hsun is actuated by a patriotic motive? 14345 Can it be possible that Chang Hsun has acted in the interest of the Ching House? 14345 Can it be possible that you have never heard of this and thus raise this extraordinary subject without any cause? 14345 Can our authorities firmly make up their mind to solve this Chinese Question by the actual carrying out of this fundamental principle? 14345 Can such a man blame his wife for immorality after marriage? 14345 Can you find any person who is able to be at the head of the state besides His Excellency Yuan Shih- kai? 14345 Can you gentlemen bear to see this come to pass? 14345 Can you tell me anything along that line? 14345 Could you not at that time have brought out an essay by one of the great scholars of the world as a subject for discussion? 14345 Could you not have cited the cases of American republics as a warning for us that these republics were by no means peaceful? 14345 Did it not heap persecution and humiliation on me to the utmost of its power and resources? 14345 Did we recognize it as such? 14345 Do not the Sages say:In dealing with the people aim at faithfulness?"
14345Do they know that the Great President has, on many occasions, sworn fidelity before high Heaven and the noon- day sun?
14345Do you not know that you, as citizens of the Republic, must in duty bound observe the Constitution and obey the laws and mandates?
14345Do you not realize that the State is a thing of great importance and should not be disturbed carelessly?
14345Do you still doubt my words?
14345Do you think this provision is not sufficient to avert the terrible times which you have just described?
14345Do you understand?
14345Do you wish to select a person other than the Great President?
14345Does not the last ray of hope for China depend on this?
14345For who can replace the Great President in coping with our numerous difficulties?
14345Have we not seen the example of Korea?
14345How can we stand as a nation if such a state of affairs is allowed to continue?
14345How in such circumstances was it possible to keep alive absolutism?
14345How then can one rule the people when he"eats"his own words and tears his own oath?
14345If not, then are we going to ask the President to form a responsible cabinet under a figurehead monarch?
14345If our industries are not developed, how can we expect to be strong?
14345If so, then what do you take the President for?
14345If the South rises in arms against this measure, what explanation can the Central Government give?
14345If the branches are all withered, how can the trunk continue to grow?
14345In plain words, is the person in our mind the President?
14345In such circumstances, how can you devise a general policy for the country which will last for a hundred years?
14345In these circumstances what did he do?
14345In these circumstances, how can one hope to send forth his orders to the country in the future, and expect them to be obeyed?
14345Is fiction mixed with fact-- are these only"trial"drafts, or are they real documents signed, sealed, and delivered?
14345Is it a misfortune for my words or a misfortune to the Country?
14345Is it because no one except a foreign doctor can discover such facts?
14345Is it not the greatest misfortune to set up an example that can not be handed down as a precedent?
14345Is it not then a vital necessity for Japan to solve at this very moment the Chinese Question?
14345Is it too much to dream of such a consummation?
14345Is not Persia a monarchy?
14345Is not Russia a monarchy?
14345Is not Turkey a monarchy?
14345Is not this highly advisable?
14345Is such a course a charitable way of doing things?
14345Is that true?
14345Is the man you have in mind the present President?
14345Is this not a great injustice to native merchants?
14345Is this not a service to humanity and the true spirit of civilization?
14345Let us ask Mr. Yang if the activities of the Chou An Hui, of which he is the President, are acts within the bounds of law?
14345Mencius says,"Am I argumentative?
14345Mr. Ko: But why is it that there is no hope of China ever becoming rich?
14345Mr. Ko: Can I know something about the contents of our future constitution in advance?
14345Mr. Ko: How is it that should China desire wealth and strength she must first adopt the constitutional form of government?
14345Mr. Ko: I do not understand why it is that a monarchy should be established before the constitutional form of government can be formed?
14345Mr. Ko: What do you mean by honesty?
14345Mr. Ko: What do you mean by the proper method of procedure?
14345Mr. Ko: Why is it that there is no hope of China''s becoming strong?
14345Mr. Ko: Why is it that you say there is no hope for China having a Constitutional Government?
14345Mr. Ko: Why so?
14345Now has that anything to do with the change or not of the form of State?
14345Now what have these things to do with a change in the form of the States?
14345Otherwise tell me what you have got to say?
14345Pray, how large is Germany''s share of the Boxer indemnity?
14345Shall we then make the present President a monarch?
14345Should they advocate the continuance of the Republic or suggest a change for a monarchy?
14345The proverb says,"If now, why not then?"
14345The question I would ask in plain words is, who is the person you have in your mind as the future Emperor?
14345The reason?
14345Then it may be asked why not fix upon one man instead of upon three since you have already deprived the people of part of their freedom?
14345They have asked the question:--"Who has invited the disaster, and brought upon us such great disgrace?"
14345To whom shall I speak?"
14345Was there, then, evasion, on the part of China?
14345What attitude then should those who have the good of the nation at heart, take under the present circumstances?
14345What do the people of our day mean by advising and urging the President to ascend the throne?
14345What has no parents?"
14345What is that thought-- whither does it lead?
14345What is the remedy?
14345What obligations had I to the then Imperial House?
14345What policy has been followed to solve the Chinese Question?
14345What preparations are being made to meet the combined pressure of the Allies upon China?
14345What proper means shall we employ to maintain our influence and extend our interests within this ring of rivalry and competition?
14345What shall we do with the President if we find another man?
14345What then could have prompted me to aspire to the Throne?
14345What was the foreign response-- the official response?
14345What was this Central Government?
14345Where were you then, advocates of monarchy?
14345Wherein then is there need of doubt or fear?
14345Who dares to contend for the Throne?
14345Who then can claim the right to drag our Great President into unrighteousness for the sake of vanity and vainglory?
14345Who will dare disobey the behests of the Great President if he should elect to open his heart and follow the path of honour and unbroken vows?
14345Why do they not do so?
14345Why is it that the attempt to introduce constitutional government during the last years of the Manchu Dynasty proved a failure?
14345Why should we not think out and lay down a plan beforehand?
14345Why should we wait for the spontaneous uprising of the revolutionists and malcontents?
14345Why stir the peaceful water and create a sea of troubles by your vain attempt to excite the people and sow seeds of discord for the State?
14345Why then should I blame others?
14345Why then should we talk about exchange of privileges and rights?
14345Why then should we traffic for these things at the risk of grave dangers to the nation?
14345Why then such unrest?
14345Why?
14345Will it be wise to place so valuable a personage in so idle a position at a time when the situation is so extremely critical?
14345Will not this then be indeed a bonâ fide proof of our friendly relations?
14345Would the South remain silent respecting this outrageous measure?
14345or any other person?
34199About how many inhabitants has Thaï-ouan, the capital?
34199And I suppose there is ever so much traffic on it?
34199And are there many Christians in China now?
34199And are there many holidays at Chinese schools?
34199And ca n''t they be cured, father?
34199And did it keep out the Tartars?
34199And did they not let him off,Leonard asked,"as the son had suffered so much for him?"
34199And do children often worship at their parents''tombs?
34199And do people really sell their children?
34199And he is a living man?
34199And he suffered all that?
34199And how long were they in Formosa?
34199And in this case was the real culprit ever found out?
34199And is anything more done for the dead after this except worship being paid to them?
34199And that of the other convert?
34199And what do those characters mean?
34199And what does''Yantze- kiang''mean?
34199And what is the height of the wall, father?
34199And what sort of dress does he wear?
34199And what''s done on his first birthday?
34199And, father,he said later,"I wonder why so many of them wear turbans?
34199Are all Chinese parents so silly as to have their little girls''feet bandaged?
34199Are the priests very good men?
34199Are these people rich or poor?
34199But how are these letters made to''arrive?''
34199But what is the use of preparing feasts for the dead?
34199But what shall give us comfort? 34199 But who, then, is the great Lama?
34199Can I forget thy cares, from helpless years Thy tenderness for me?
34199Can a mandarin be punished when he does wrong?
34199Che- fan,or"Have you eaten your rice?"
34199Did grandfather make many converts?
34199Did you ever go into a boy''s school, father?
34199Did you ever see them at drill, father?
34199Did you ever want to be a sailor then? 34199 Do Chinese girls learn lessons?
34199Do Taouists and Buddhists believe in, and read, the writings of Confucius?
34199Do n''t you?
34199Do you mind waiting one minute, father, just to tell me a thing I have forgotten, and you told me once?
34199Do you think, Sybil, that the heathen Chinese could teach the Christian English anything?
34199Does anything else happen on the grand shaving day?
34199Does the Emperor''s eldest son always reign?
34199Father, do you remember well when you were just eleven?
34199Father, why do Chinamen wear pig- tails?
34199Father, will you tell us something now about the children?
34199Have you a picture of it, father?
34199How I shall think of you, father, and the Hong- Kong Mission on Intercession Day, when it comes round, sha n''t I?
34199How could he have done so?
34199How far did you get?
34199How far is Tientsin from the capital?
34199How long is it now since the Dutch were driven away?
34199How long was he left there?
34199How many gods have the Chinese?
34199I suppose children give their parents beautiful presents on their birthdays?
34199I suppose tea is n''t ever sent about in wheel- barrows?
34199I suppose you know, Sybil, that there are some wild beasts in Formosa?
34199I thought the Chinese were clever people,Sybil said;"if so, how can they believe in so many gods?"
34199I wonder if you and Sybil can tell me what grows principally in Formosa?
34199I wonder what Swatow is like?
34199I wonder what made people first think of doing this?
34199I wonder whether I shall be able to do anything to help him there?
34199Is it not strange New Year''s Day next year will be on the twenty- ninth of January, and in 1882 on February eighteenth? 34199 Is it very difficult to teach the Chinese, father?"
34199Is n''t Tientsin noted for something?
34199It must be an important one, I should think, as it carries things, does n''t it, from the sea- coast to near to Peking?
34199Now, father, do n''t you think it''s high time you began to tell us about old Peking?
34199Now, father, will you please describe a Chinese house to us?
34199Oh yes you do, Sybil,was the answer;"you like your father to be a missionary very much, you know, do you not?"
34199People have not known very long, have they, that the island of Formosa is important?
34199Shall you have one?
34199So they can not believe at all in the immortality of the soul?
34199Supposing I do not know anything about it, though; what are we to do then? 34199 That was a beautiful name, was n''t it?
34199The Chinese part of the island, I suppose, belongs to Fukien?
34199The east coast has n''t a harbour at all, has it?
34199Then a priest is not obliged to go to the funeral?
34199Then what do you want to be now?
34199Then, when children do wrong, their parents and schoolmasters are blamed?
34199They can not think that the dead really eat the food?
34199To what part of China are we going, father?
34199WILL you please tell us to- day, father, something about the religion of the Chinese? 34199 Well, what should you like to hear now?"
34199What are mandarins, please, father?
34199What are the most peculiar of them like?
34199What are you here for?
34199What does casting his horoscope mean?
34199What does that mean?
34199What does the ancestral tablet mean?
34199What does the word China mean?
34199What games do they like?
34199What is opium?
34199What is scented Caper Tea?
34199What is the name of your beautiful dwelling?
34199What made the Chinese call Formosa Tai- wan?
34199What sort of flags do Chinese boats have, father? 34199 What was his name?"
34199What would happen,Sybil asked,"if a child were to do anything very dreadful to a parent in China?"
34199When was the Hong- Kong mission begun?
34199Where_ did_ they all come from?
34199Who is that Jui- Lin of whom you have a picture? 34199 Who was the founder of Buddhism?"
34199Whoever thought,Sybil said one day on board,"that we should actually be on the Yellow Sea ourselves?
34199Why did that policeman come after you to- day, father, and take down the name of the boat that we got into?
34199Why did you say that opium- smoking was so dreadful?
34199Why do Chinese ladies have small feet?
34199Why do people not kill their boys too?
34199Why do so many Chinese rivers end in ho and kiang?
34199Why does all that happen?
34199Why is your house called a yamen?
34199Will you please go on about the religion now, father?
34199Will you take me to see a school in China?
34199You were saying the other day, father, that Chinese people smoke something else besides tobacco?
34199_ I like my father to be a missionary very much._ He must be glad too; is n''t he, mother?
34199A missionary''s children must not shrink from fulfilling, must not fail to fulfil, the mission on which they are sent, must they?"
34199And do you know what river it is on?"
34199And what does this teach us, children?"
34199Another time she meant to ask Sybil if she were not very rich, so she said,"You can muchee money?"
34199Are n''t you glad to go to China?"
34199Before E- Chung heard that Sybil had a brother, she said to her,"You one piecee chilo?"
34199But I wonder if Leonard knows what''shan''means?"
34199But what are these, when we think that this vast empire alone contains 400,000,000 people, one- third of the human race?"
34199Does it not seem greedy, when people have so much to eat, to take poor little birds''-nests which have been made with such pains by their owners?
34199Had she been grown up, this question would probably have been,"What is your venerable age?"
34199How can we?"
34199How many native communicants are there in Hong- Kong?"
34199I do n''t think I shall ever want to say it again now; and I used to say it rather often, usen''t I?
34199I know tea comes from an evergreen plant, something like a myrtle, but that is n''t much information, is it?
34199I know they worship idols, but how do they believe in them?"
34199I wonder if you would like it?
34199Is it not kind of Che- Yin?
34199Is it not so, my child?"
34199Is it not so?"
34199Is n''t it a pity that they do n''t know better?
34199Is n''t that nasty?
34199It will be longer for poor old Leonard, wo n''t it?"
34199Leonard said;"with no end of ships to be seen?"
34199Must not this scene have been very lovely?
34199Should n''t you like it too?
34199We can not help feeling sorry to leave our old friends, can we?"
34199What could this be for?"
34199What other amusements have they?"
34199What religion had the aborigines?
34199When she went out visiting, questions such as the following were generally put to her,"What honourable name have you?"
34199Who will be our guide, stay, and comfort, when we are separated from one another?"
34199Why is it called that?"
34199Will Jesus chide thy weakness, Or call thy labour vain?
34199and is he alive now?"
34199and"What age have you?"
34199but what was the Christian name she chose?
34199ever think for certain you would be one?"
34199or is it only the boys?"
34199ought n''t we to be careful, then, Leonard?
34199she said;"and leave you and mother?"
34199she then asked;"to the same place where you were before?"
34199she then said,"is n''t the time dreadfully near now?
34199though, as a rule, when people said"How do you do?"
34199to her it was"Chin- chin mississi?"
34199was"How do you do?"
34199what shall we think about when we are trying to do our several duties, though apart, I hope contentedly and well?
523''And are they taught the same branches of study as the boys?'' 523 ''And do you mourn over your dead father more than you rejoice over being in the presence of your living ruler?''
523''But, Yin- ma, did you ever see any of these paper images transformed into soldiers?'' 523 ''But, Yin- ma, you do not believe those superstitions, do you?''
523''Quite right,''she replied,''but what consolation is there in that? 523 ''Why do you wear blue shoes?''
523According to international law has any one a right to interfere with the internal affairs of any foreign country?
523And are you sure she had not swooned?
523And did he use it?
523And did she go to Li Hung- chang''s home?
523And did you believe they could?
523And did you go into the palace every day?
523And do you settle up all your debts as we do here?
523And how will you undertake to secure a concubine for such an old man?
523And now,she continued,"we have these patriotic braves who claim to be impervious to swords and bullets; what shall we do?
523And these are really the work of Her Majesty?
523And they have done all this embroidery and painting in that time?
523And what are those conditions?
523And what are those ends?
523And what do you propose to do?
523And what does she do?
523And what has become of your sister? 523 And what is she doing?"
523And what is that?
523And where is it now?
523And why do not her friends call her attention to this fact?
523And why not?
523But could you not sit down?
523But how do you consider it better than our method?
523But how would they know that your slave was a Christian?
523But what is this all about?
523Can it be removed?
523Could you come to- morrow morning?
523Do n''t you think it is cruel for parents to sell their daughters in this way?
523Do the Manchus consider themselves superior to the Chinese?
523Do you fire off crackers?
523Do you happen to have any from the brush of the Lady Miao, her painting teacher?
523Do you know anything about the early life of the Empress Dowager?
523Do you suppose he ever sees the edicts issued in his name?
523Does n''t it cause trouble in a family for a man to have so many women about? 523 Does the Emperor know anything about this?"
523Everybody knows it, why not he?
523How did you do it?
523How did you obtain your education?
523How do you ride it?
523How does he know that?
523How does she employ herself?
523How is that?
523How is your sister?
523How long has the school been in session?
523How many concubines has he?
523How many servants do you use ordinarily?
523How many sisters are there in your family-- eight, are there not?
523How old is he?
523Indeed?
523Indeed?
523Is not the Empress Dowager very much opposed to foot- binding? 523 Is the Princess very ill?"
523May I ask if you would be willing to undertake the development of such a system?
523No, I was not aware of the fact; and were they married?
523Of course, I know you could not sit down in the presence of Her Majesty, but could you not withdraw and rest a while?
523Of what does their course of study consist?
523Of what importance is the study of chemistry to the agriculturist?
523Oh, you are from the palace near the west gate?
523That would be very kind of you,I answered,"but how would you undertake to get them?"
523The young lady demurred until finally the Empress Dowager said:''Do you not realize that a request coming from me is the same as a command?''
523There is general alarm in the city that the Emperor himself will be disposed of; what do you think about it?
523This is a new move in Peking, is it not?
523What Princess?
523What are the Western sources of economic prosperity, and as China is now so poor, what should she do?
523What did Your Highness think of the relative characteristics of the Germans and the French, as you saw them?
523What do you think of that?
523What do you think of your bullet- proof Boxers now?
523What do you want to join the church for?
523What is his given name?
523What is the matter?
523What is the matter?
523What is to prevent our putting into operation such a system throughout this province?
523What kind of a night did she have?
523When does she want me to go?
523When is she to appear?
523When may I do so?
523Where is your slave girl now? 523 Who can tell?
523Who would do it?
523Who,he asked,"are these Boxers?
523Why return so soon?
523Why?
523With pleasure; at what time?
523Would you not like to come and visit our girls''high school?
523Yes,he said,"that is true; but does n''t it make you awfully mad if you ask a lady to marry you and she refuses?"
523You are a Chinese, are you not, Lady Miao?
523After they had gone I asked:"Why is it that the Manchu and Chinese ladies do not intermingle in a social way?"
523And for what?
523And what shall we say of her compared with the great women of other races?
523But how was this to be done?
523But it would be a delight to call in this nephew- in- law, and have him sit or kneel, and may we not believe she allowed him to sit?
523But then, what if she did?
523But what would you have done?
523But who did it?
523Can they be depended upon as pillars of state?"
523DOES ANY ONE THINK THAT OUR TROOPS ARE AS WELL DRILLED OR AS WELL LED AS THOSE OF THE FOREIGN ARMIES?
523Did not the thirteen colonies throw down the gauntlet to England for less cause?
523Do you celebrate the New Year in your honourable country?"
523During this time were the Emperor and his young"Confucius"idle?
523Had you or I been ill would we have allowed the man who was the cause of our fall to select our physician?
523Have you been out of the city?"
523Have you never noticed that in his edicts the Emperor speaks of his Manchu slaves and his Chinese subjects?"
523Have you noticed how ready we are to forgive those on our side for doing that for which we would bitterly condemn our opponents?
523How can they, a mere rabble, hope to vanquish the armies of foreign nations?"
523How could I send her out to death when she had been so kind and faithful to me?
523How is it that I have never seen her?"
523I believe it is customary in calling on a foreign gentleman to see his lady, is it not?"
523I said to him:"The Prince has a good many children, has he not?"
523Is it too much to say that she was the greatest woman of the last half century?
523Is that true?"
523Need we ask the reason why?
523OR THAT WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY STAND AGAINST THEM?
523One day the eunuch saw my wife''s bicycle standing on the veranda and said:"What kind of a cart is that?"
523One of her critics, referring to the last sentence of the above edict, asks:"Do not these words throw down the gauntlet?"
523Shall we cast in our lot with their millions and drive all these foreigners out of China or not?"
523Shall we go with this busy little princess to another festal occasion?
523That the Emperor was poisoned?
523They are very intelligent, and after I had become well acquainted with them I said to them one day:"How is it that you have done such wide reading?"
523They usually followed this with another question:"What would happen if the Empress Dowager should die?"
523We expressed our surprise that he was still in Peking, and asked:"Has the Empress Dowager ceased prosecuting her search for you reformers?"
523What about your old conservative friends?
523What now were the results?
523What now were these wonderful gifts before which these men and women of rank and noble birth were falling upon their faces?
523What shall we say of his Chinese relations?
523What then are we to infer?
523What then is the explanation?
523What then shall we say when people of an alien race come seeking admission?
523Who are their leaders?
523Why did she not stretch forth her hand and prevent them?
523Why has she not forbidden it?"
523Why then should Yuan Shih- kai have been made the scapegoat of the court and the officials, and branded as a murderer in the face of the whole world?
523Will the curious world ever know?
523You say she was anti- foreign-- would you have been very much in love with Germany, Russia, France and England under those circumstances?
523said I;"what makes you think so?"
39735Are these facts consistent with Earl Russell''s assertions? 39735 But how is it that at present the fields are left uncultivated and all agricultural business seems to be entirely neglected?
39735Colonel Sykes.--''By whom?'' 39735 To what case does this allude?
39735What, on the other hand, is the state of the country on this side of the Ta- tsing lines? 39735 _ Second._--Can the Ti- pings form a Government with which foreign Powers can treat?

39735''Can you repeat the doxology of the Heavenly Father?''

39735''How can you expect to go to heaven?
39735''In all the public offices is care taken to instruct the soldiers and civilians connected with them?''
39735''Now,''I said,''how is this command observed by you, seeing that so much cruelty and wickedness are practised by your brethren all around?''
39735''Was he not afraid of being wounded or killed?''
39735''Well, but suppose you should be killed, what then?''
39735''What book does he use?''
39735''What does he in the way of instructing his people?''
39735''What great work did Christ do?''
39735''What, notwithstanding their adherence to the dynasty, and fighting under the same banners as yourself?''
39735''When did you join the dynasty?''
39735''Who instructed you in these things?''
39735''Who is the Heavenly Brother?''
39735And if the disciplined troops do this with impunity, what can you think if the non- disciplined do it?
39735And where are these roads leading?

39735Can anything more dreadful than the state of these unhappy patriots be imagined?
39735Can this be called a"blasphemous and immoral"basis of religion?
39735Did it prove that Cromwell was neither a general nor an administrator?
39735Did that prove that the English noblemen and gentlemen who first headed that rebellion were unfit to establish a government?
39735Do you ask how this our body Is to attain to length of years?
39735Does Colonel Gordon, R.E., call this"observing the rules of warfare as practised among foreign nations,"according to the proviso of Sir F. Bruce?
39735Does Sir F. Bruce, after the massacres at Wu- see, Kar- sing,& c., still term Gordon''s conduct"a service in favour of humanity"?
39735Edkins, John, Medhurst, Muirhead,& c., referred to and quoted in this work?
39735Have we ever retaliated the enmity of England and France?''
39735He asked the Chung- wang"why he had ventured within the limits of Consular Ports;"and received this reply:--"Why?
39735He wanted to know in what single instance had our treaty rights or our trade been in danger?
39735He will be very sorry to resort to force(?
39735He wished to know any instance in which either the property or the life of a British subject had been placed in danger?"
39735His name is most honourable, To be handed down through distant ages; Who was this Hwuy, That he dared to alter it?
39735His reward would be a sorry heart(?
39735How came it that General Brown was either ignorant of, or suppressed the fact?
39735How did Gordon learn that fact, or that story?
39735How did the fact come to be kept so secret from the public?
39735I said that I wanted to make the Imperialists and rebels good friends(?
39735I told him I was going to the Tai- hu; and he said,"_ Why not_ wait?
39735I told him I was going to the Tai- hu; and he said,''Why not wait?
39735In reply, I ask if it be so, in how far do the Taepings differ in that respect from the Russians, French, and Americans?
39735In what respect do you think the trade injurious to us in our relations with China?
39735Is it not a most shameful perversion of the American nationality?
39735Is not faithfulness bought and sold in''Vanity Fair,''and should that not be looked for in the conduct of a-- British soldier?"
39735Is not this a time for foreign governments to come forward and arrange the terms?
39735Is the peaceful and civil reception the English get from these nations the result of pure friendliness or of policy?
39735Is this British justice?
39735Is this not excellent?
39735Is this not the best plan?
39735Is_ this_ neutrality?
39735It was for such a state of things as this, was it, that Gordon gave his talents?
39735Let me ask you that before my Lord settled at Kiang- nan, could you get admittance into the interior?
39735Let us ask, whence these great and glorious changes?
39735Mr. Adkins goes on to say"that the impostor(?)
39735Shall the four hundred millions of China remain in their state of darkness and death,_ because of the worldliness and deadness_ of the people of God?"
39735The only other excuse of any moment is the"_ might_ injure trade"one; but is that to be considered a sufficient justification?
39735They did so, and were well paid for the affair; but is this neutrality?
39735Was it for this that English guns had been loaned by the representatives of the British people?
39735Was it for_ this_ that Englishmen fought?
39735Was it for_ this_ that the''first nation of the world''and the two_ Scotchmen_, Gordon and Dr. Macartney, had fought?
39735Was_ this_ neutrality?
39735We have seen that in the preceding debate Lord Palmerston plainly and frankly declared:--"We interfered in the affairs of China; and why?"
39735Well, why then do they persecute Christian converts so that their lives are in jeopardy?
39735What about the"immense loss"of the other version, in which they do such heroic deeds to capture the palace?
39735What are our Channel fleets, our fortifications, and our 150,000 volunteers for?

39735Who can prevent us from committing such acts, if we choose?
39735Who has ever seen an Imperialist official do the like?
39735Who is responsible for all this misery and loss of life?
39735Who other than England?
39735Who then with common sense and natural patriotism would not strike his breast and weep?
39735Who, after this, shall talk of_ Ti- ping_ cruelties?
39735Who, then, proved to be the devastator and marauder; the uncivilized Chinese, or the civilized Christian?
39735Why did he not make it his business to see that the assurances which he had given to the Nar- wang were carried out?
39735Why did not Gordon mention this important circumstance in his letter to Sir Frederic advising His Excellency that he had again taken the field?
39735Why not interfere in America for the sake of trade and to prevent so- called rebels from collecting duties?
39735Why should a soldier of fortune not make a fortune?
39735Why was Major Gordon absent?
39735Would any_ other_ nation have borne these outrages for years, as we have done, without making reprisal?
39735Would they attack us if they felt sure they could do so with advantage?
39735[ 14] Did it grieve the philanthropic Admiral"much,"I wonder, to massacre them in his raids from Shanghae?
39735[ 73] How came it that Mr. Acting- Consul Markham in his letter to Sir Frederic announcing the reconciliation, was silent on the point?
39735_ The Hymn says_:-- The whole world is one family, and all men are brethren, How can they be permitted to kill and destroy one another?
39735how could one great man, without means, save a people, a sacred cause, and a city invested by 100,000 savage foemen?

59972''And under whom will Kinchou be?''
59972''And you will, I suppose, only write the truth in it?''
59972''Can you tell us, Colonel,''said an officer of the regiment,''why we are being continually taken into Arthur and then back again?
59972''Go?
59972''He seemed surprised at this answer and asked,"Why?"
59972''How is it that I can still see our men in a bomb- proof?
59972''How?
59972''Is it true, sir, that the Fortress has been surrendered?''
59972''May I use steel shells, sir, instead?''
59972''Sir, wo n''t you order Tretiakoff to remain on the summit of the hill all the time?
59972''They had to go from the Chinese Wall through Kuropatkin Lunette, and what was this lunette like by now?
59972''Very well, but are you sure?''
59972''Was it possible for me to literally carry out this principle in practice?
59972''Well, sir, what can be worse than having to remain on the defensive?
59972''What are they up to?
59972''What are you doing with yourself?''
59972''What are you doing?
59972''What can I do for you, General?
59972''What do you want?''
59972''What has happened to General Stössel?
59972''What have you to say?''
59972''What''s happened?
59972''What''s up?''
59972''Where were you?''
59972''Who was to blame?''
59972''Who writes the"News"in the_ Novy Kry_?''
59972''Who, may I ask, gave you permission to abandon it?''
59972''Why are the other batteries silent?
59972''Why is this?
59972''Why, if there was a chance of our being cut off, do you suppose for a minute that Stössel would let supplies be sent out?
59972''Will they be all right?''
59972''Would you care to come with me to Green Hills?''
59972''You doubt it?

599722 being followed, and to ensure that the principle that a garrison should resist to the last should not be forgotten?"
59972A smile?
59972After their departure a telegram was received:''Why have the reserve men not been supplied with first- year tunics?
59972And is it to be wondered at?
59972And we?
59972And what was the cause of this catastrophe?
59972And what were Stössel''s staff doing all this time?
59972And why?
59972Are you mad?
59972Are you wounded?''
59972Aye, and not only was he an aide- de- camp, but he was now a hero, for had he not been promoted to the St. George of the Third Class?
59972But how could he deal with this enemy of the Fortress?
59972But now the reserve was used up, and what were we to do?
59972But what could we now do?
59972By the way, Semenoff, have you given orders for the outposts to be strengthened, and warned all officers to expect an attack to- morrow?''
59972Can I go and rest a little?''
59972Can a more hopeless state of things be imagined?
59972Can we hold out at Kinchou?
59972Can you guarantee that the enemy wo n''t mount guns there?''
59972Captain Golovan, what is your opinion on this question?''
59972Colonel Petrusha authorized to arrest''anyone''?
59972Colonel Yolshin, looking out of the window, said:''I wonder how long all this will be ours?
59972Did that correspond to the needs of the besieged Fortress?
59972Do we know how to?
59972Do you really imagine that the Japanese can wage war on two fronts?
59972Do you remember?
59972Does Russia realize the gigantic work done by Smirnoff and the garrison under him?
59972For what did he take Captain Kwats, the commanding officer, and the men?
59972Had the subject ever been considered in St. Petersburg?
59972Has his wound really made such an impression upon him?''
59972Have you ever, when travelling by rail, stopped in a station or at some siding at night alongside a cattle train, and heard the noise of the cattle?
59972He did not attempt it by speeches; for where, when, and to whom could he speak?
59972He would ask,''What have you to say?''
59972How am I to get them away?
59972How can one account for such a decision concerning men suffering from scurvy?
59972How can the Japanese, yellow- skinned little devils that they are, get into the place?''
59972How could I have dared to do such a thing on my own responsibility?''
59972How could a Russian general be ignorant of it?
59972How could they be spies, when they asked me to let them enlist in the volunteers that they might bark at the Japanese?''
59972How did you dare leave Kinchou?
59972How many Russian officers know and care for their men?
59972How many protested or were even indignant at this legalized butchery?
59972How much longer is the train going to stop here?
59972How should he have acted?
59972I have the honour to inquire if this can be done?
59972I say, are you all mad?
59972I was struck by the calmness and endurance of the gunners during the whole time of this, their first artillery battle; whence did they get it?
59972If the energetic, indefatigable Raschevsky began to feel tired, what must the faint- hearted have felt?
59972If we had only had good men here, in six years what might we not have done, seeing what had been accomplished in four months?
59972If we, in the inside, could not sleep, how could these men, whom a shell might at any instant turn into blood and dust?
59972In saying that''the men would never have reached the place, and then what should I have done?''
59972It may be asked why the new Commandant was not entrusted with the plan of mobilization works?
59972It was founded on letters from the Japanese saying:''Why do you hold on?
59972It was of this hill-- the scene of eight days of the most desperate fighting-- that Stössel had said in May:''Why are heavy guns being mounted here?
59972It was possibly good training for the hardships to follow?
59972Kinchou had shown what damage could be done by small shells, and what might we not expect from siege- guns?
59972Major Yamoaka anxiously asked:''They are surely not firing?''
59972Naumenko, do you see them?''
59972Next day I had a conversation on the subject with General Smirnoff, who said:''"Why did you surrender the fort?
59972One can not help asking why, when Velichko drew out the plans of the Fortress, he did not insist on Ta- ku- shan being fortified?
59972One of them, mad with fanaticism, got on to the top, shouting:''How are you, Russkys?''
59972Remove the cattle from country already in the possession of the enemy?
59972Report it to St. Petersburg-- yes: St. Petersburg was many miles away; but why stultify himself before the whole garrison?
59972Salt,[?
59972Stössel''s efforts to repress drunkenness were beyond praise, but what could he do?
59972Surely they are not retiring?
59972The blockers at it again?
59972The day was ours, for we still held Green Hills; but how about the morrow?
59972The fleet was there again in its usual place in the western and eastern basins; but what was to be done?
59972Then, turning suddenly to Fock:''And you, sir, it appears, do not intend to obey my orders?
59972They had been accustomed to expect death, and now-- now-- what did they not hear?
59972They wanted the Fortress?
59972To the question,''Was it possible to have avoided this epidemic of scurvy, and could we have checked it with what we had in Port Arthur?''
59972Veselovsky killed?''
59972Was he laughing at the Commandant, or had he gone off his head?
59972Was it a joke?
59972Was it not all possible?
59972Was it not mockery indeed to ask me such a question?
59972Was it submission to fate, trust in luck, or stupidity?
59972Were the enemy getting ferocious in their exasperation, and beginning to ignore humanity?
59972What are they looking at?''
59972What are we to do with all the gold vases?
59972What are your orders?"
59972What can I do for you?
59972What could Smirnoff do?
59972What could Smirnoff say?
59972What could be expected from hospitals opened after the August assaults, when there was nothing left in the place with which to equip them?
59972What did they not know?
59972What had been done on the whole?
59972What have you to say?''
59972What influence had that on its fate?
59972What is the good of firing on the near slope?''
59972What is to be done?''
59972What use is a fortified position if its loop- holes are unsuitable for firing, or, instead of giving the firer cover, expose him?
59972What was the result when war commenced?
59972What would have been his feelings, I wonder, if on the way to Arthur he had come to himself?
59972What''s happened?
59972What''s happened?''
59972What, I ask, could he have done?
59972Where''s your officer?
59972Wherever we find the war correspondent we find the Commandant, eh...?''
59972While we in the town were kept awake by anxiety and on account of the hideous uproar, how about the men at the front?
59972Who can equal him in gallantry, unselfishness, and endurance?
59972Who cares to lose a leg or an eye?
59972Who could say that Stössel''s arrest would not have results quite opposite to those wished for?
59972Who has altered them?''
59972Who is better or more noble than the private soldier?
59972Who says that Kinchou is badly fortified?
59972Who was to blame because it had returned without having brought on a decisive action?
59972Whose fault was it?
59972Why did General Bazilevsky-- if he had such a plan-- not give it to Stössel?
59972Why did Kuropatkin when he went round the Fortress not ask for the plan of its works, even though only roughly drawn out?
59972Why did Smirnoff not do this?
59972Why did he publish the order?
59972Why does n''t Irman, who is commanding the western front, send us any word?
59972Why is it all done?''
59972Why?
59972Why?
59972Why?
59972Why?
59972Why?''
59972Will you sign?''
59972Wo n''t you sit down?''
59972Would he have held out long if he had attempted with his army of 40,000 to retake the redoubts from us?
59972You can see those little poles running all the way down?

15250But how,said Chin Hung,"was he to be found in this immense emptiness?"
15250But how,said the Chief,"can I possibly marry my daughter to a dog?"
15250But,replied the T''ien- shih,"was it not your Majesty who ordered me under pain of death to exterminate the authors of this pandemonium?"
15250Has he had the smallpox?
15250Have I not power enough to be the God of Heaven?
15250How can I cross?
15250How could I, a poor useless wretch,replied Ch''un- yü,"have ever aspired to such honour?"
15250How far off is this island?
15250How is it that I find myself in this place? 15250 How is that?"
15250I gave him back my substance; why did he burn my temple and smash up my image?
15250I gave him back the substance I received from him; why did he come with violence to break up my image? 15250 I have ever treasured the recollection in my heart; how could I possibly forget it?"
15250If you are of a cultured family, why did you become a priest?
15250Is it because I am poor?
15250Is not this my home? 15250 Since my husband is dead, what can they say?"
15250Then where can I procure this remedy?
15250Well,replied the dog,"will you agree to her marrying me if I change myself into a man?"
15250Well,said Miao Shan to her father,"will you now force me to marry and prevent my devoting myself to the attainment of perfection?"
15250What Immortal,she asked,"can have been so charitable as to sacrifice a hand and eye for the King''s benefit?"
15250What are you saying?
15250What description did he give?
15250What else can they do?
15250What have you been doing?
15250What is the meaning of these verses?
15250What is the name of this spirit?
15250What is this cursed place where I am now?
15250What is your name?
15250What obnoxious creature is this that you have brought into the world?
15250What power have your masters?
15250What qualifications have you?
15250What remedy is there, and how am I to protect the people?
15250What shall I do?
15250What special degree of ability have you attained during your course of perfection?
15250What was the face of the saintly person like who gave you the remedy?
15250What way, and where is it?
15250What, after all, is this remedy that I must have in order to be cured?
15250When you removed her hands and eyes did she seem to suffer?
15250Where are these people going?
15250Where are you going?
15250Where is Hsiang Shan, and how far from here?
15250Where is the sky?
15250Where is the source of the salt water?
15250Where is this bird to be found?
15250Where will you go for aid?
15250Whither away, nun?
15250Who am I,asked Miao Shan,"that you should deign to take the trouble to show me such respect?"
15250Who are you?
15250Who are you?
15250Who are you?
15250Who but she would have given hands and eyes? 15250 Who has demolished my temple?"
15250Who is Ch''ien- t''ang?
15250Who is that who speaks so brutally?
15250Who is that?
15250Who is there,answered the girl,"who does not love the royal dignity?--what person who does not aspire to the happiness of marriage?
15250Who slew my messenger?
15250Why are you so afraid that he might hear what I have just told you?
15250Why continue so useless a fight?
15250Why do you not leave the place?
15250Why eat of one tree? 15250 Why have you come to this place?"
15250Why is it,asked the King,"that this remedy, which is so efficacious for the left side, should not be applied to the right?"
15250Would it not have been better to gain your living honestly in practising your art than to shave your head and go loafing about the world? 15250 You can not do it; why trouble?"
15250Addressing himself to Lu Ch''i, he asked:"Do you wish to live in the Crystal Palace?"
15250After a little while Hsi- mên Pao said:"Why does she stay so long?
15250Are n''t you ashamed to do such a thing?
15250Are we not told that''out of evil cometh good''?
15250Are we to suppose, then, that the Chinese Lei Kung is of Indian origin?
15250Are you sure it is still upon your head?"
15250But,"he added, pointing with his hand,"is not that Sun coming yonder?"
15250Can a good woman be found in that class?
15250Chia then picked up half a brick and laid it on the washing- block, saying to Mr Chên,"This little piece is not too much, surely?"
15250Detecting this manoeuvre, the god was incensed, and said to the Emperor:"You have broken your word; did you bring Lu here to insult me?
15250Do n''t you remember how we tied a handkerchief on the stem of a bamboo?"
15250Do you wish to have me disgraced?
15250Forthwith the dragon went on shore, and, spying a monkey on the top of a tree, said:"Hail, shining one, are you not afraid you will fall?"
15250Half- measures"Who else, in fact, but his child,"she continued amid her sobs,"could have had the courage to give her hand to save her father''s life?"
15250Has anyone ever known a daughter of a king become a nun?
15250He said:"Why do you make no progress?
15250He then said to Sun, with a laugh:"What can you do to me now?"
15250He then spoke,"Illustrious friend, why did not you tell me?
15250He, seeing her colour fade away, said:"My dear, what shall I get you to eat?"
15250Here, without any lonely mountain on which to give myself up to the pursuit of perfection, what will become of me?"
15250How can I be wanting in sincerity?"
15250How can I get one of their hearts?"
15250How can I live in this desolate region?"
15250How can we serve spiritual beings while we do not know how to serve men?
15250How can you speak so lightly?
15250How dare you kill him, and then boast of your crime?"
15250How dare you lend your mountain to the Demon for such a purpose?"
15250How did these Taoists deceive your King?"
15250How is it you do n''t know?
15250How is it you do n''t know?
15250How made Heaven and earth?
15250How made insects?
15250How made men and demons?
15250How then did it come about that scholars worshipped the K''uei in the Great Bear as the abode of the God of Literature?
15250If I were to be accused at Court of having instituted the worship of false gods, would not my destruction be certain?
15250If she is left without help, who is there who will be willing to adopt the virtuous life?
15250If you can not suppress them, how do you expect to see the Great Lord?"
15250If you must die, why should Sha Ho- shang and Pa- chieh and the Dragon- horse also suffer?"
15250Is a human being meant to live in marital relations with a horse?"
15250Is not this the same as if they had committed the crime themselves?
15250It commences: Who came to the bad disposition, To send fire and burn the hill?
15250Ku made a low bow, but the young lady said,"Sir, when you were kind to my mother, I did not thank you; why then thank me?"

15250Shih- tsun ordered you not to reply to anyone; why did you not hearken to his words?
15250Shên Kung- pao said:"What is that you hold in your hand?"
15250Shên Kung- pao said:"You will not go back on your word?"
15250Some members of the palace guard seized her, and inquired angrily:"Who are you that you should dare to tear down the royal proclamation?"
15250Sun pointed to his fan and said:"Is not this the Fan?"
15250Sun replied:"Having never met him, how can you know him?"

15250Tzu- ya quickly asked:"My elder brother, why have you returned?"
15250Tzu- ya said:"When your elder brother has spoken his word is as unchangeable as Mount T''ai, How can there be any going back on my word?"
15250What are we to do?
15250What if it should rain?

15250he cried,"what diabolical suggestions are these that you dare to make in my presence?"
43497Am I, then, to travel through the air, or sink down to the lower regions?
43497And how old is the monastery?
43497And west of that?
43497And west of the Caspian Sea?
43497And what is there to the west of this ocean?
43497And where do you come to when you continue to travel westwards?
43497And you will send my letter to Gyangtse?
43497Are they civil to you?
43497Are they in fairly good condition?
43497Can you depend on your wife''s faithfulness for so long a time?
43497Can you find your way, and are you sure that your supplies will last out?
43497Certainly; but which way do you think of taking? 43497 Do you know the way to the south?"
43497Do you see the small white swirls in the south- west? 43497 Does not the Sahib hear something?"
43497Does not the Sahib think it dangerous to go further when the lake is bottomless?
43497Does the Bombo Chimbo remember that I tried to detain him five and a half years ago with a large levy?
43497Does the Devashung know that I am here?
43497Has, then, Rabsang played a trick on me and the Babu Sahib?
43497Have you any fresh information?
43497Have you any horses you can sell us?
43497Have you any yaks for sale?
43497Have you heard anything more of the Governor?
43497Have you heard that Hedin is in Srinagar?

43497How long can the animals hold out, if we find no pasture?
43497How long is it by the nearest way to Shigatse?'''' 43497 How long will it take a messenger to reach him?"

43497How much longer will the storm last?
43497In which direction have the robbers retired with their booty?
43497Is Hlaje Tsering still ruler of Naktsang?
43497Is he bringing with him as large a following as last time?
43497Is there nothing here, then, that we can burn? 43497 It was agreed that you should accompany us as far as the Yeshil- kul; do you mean to break your word?"
43497Master,suggested Robert, who always addressed me thus,"would it not be more prudent to land again before the storm reaches its height?
43497May it not be Changpas?
43497No, really? 43497 Now you see that I was right; how often have I told you that we should be ordered to halt at the Bogtsang- tsangpo?"
43497Ordered to halt?
43497Shall you have more of such lake voyages, Master?
43497Tell me, Hlaje Tsering, do you think that I shall be stopped in the territory of the Labrang?
43497Tell me, Ma Daloi, do you think that the Tashi Lama will receive me?
43497That is all very fine, but have you any proof that the Tashi Lama will assume the responsibility of forwarding your letters? 43497 The road to the east is also barred?"
43497WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
43497We are, then, in the province of Tang- yung?
43497We shall, then, have more losses soon?
43497What are you afraid of?
43497What are you talking about? 43497 What are your terms?"
43497What do they say to my remaining away so long?
43497What happens if she misconducts herself with another man?
43497What is it?
43497What is the matter?
43497What is the news?
43497What is their intention, do you think, Muhamed Isa?
43497What lies to the west of Yarkand?
43497What time is it, Master?
43497What, in your opinion, do they mean to do with us?
43497When?
43497Where are you going?
43497Where do you come from?
43497Where do you think that the soldiers are waiting for us?
43497Where is he? 43497 Where is the Governor of Naktsang?"
43497Where?
43497Which way will they ask us to take this time?
43497Whither are you travelling?
43497Who founded it, then?
43497Who has brought the mail?
43497Why did you not close the way to me? 43497 Why do you put these questions?"
43497Why have you come to my tent, Karma Tamding? 43497 Why is it that it has just been so dark?"
43497Why, then, have we not seen the fire before? 43497 Why,"they then both asked,"did you not show us this paper at once?
43497Will it, then, be still colder than now?
43497Will you be so good as to sell us yaks, Karma Tamding?
43497Will you give us some of your sheep?
43497Will you go on a long journey with me?
43497Will you guide us?
43497Will you procure us guides?
43497Will you sell me some horses for them?
43497You have not heard, then, that any messenger from Shigatse has been inquiring about us?
43497A coarse fellow asked shortly and boldly( Illustration 89):"What are you?"
43497A curious feeling of awe took possession of me; had I insulted them through some want of delicacy?
43497A thought occurs to me: shall we travel on to the mouth of the Ki- chu and thence go up to Lhasa on foot?
43497After all the severe trials and adventures we had experienced should we succeed in reaching our goal?
43497Ah, where would my dreams again be shattered and my aspirations cease to pulsate?
43497And why should they not be endowed with intelligence?
43497And why?
43497And with what object?
43497And, besides, how long do you expect to have to wait here for the answer?
43497Are they walls erected across my path by hostile spirits, or do they await my coming?
43497Are you disposed to accompany me on a journey of two years through the high mountains?"
43497But could we carry ourselves enough provisions to last us through this uninhabited country?
43497But he must know something about me, or how could Ngurbu Tundup''s arrival at Ngangtse- tso with the letters be explained?
43497But tell me, are you not the_ Peling_ who came five years ago with two companions to Nakchu, and was compelled by the Governor to turn back?"
43497But what is that?
43497But where are our men?
43497But why is this?"
43497But why was he so late?
43497But, tell me, how have you got on since we last saw one another?"
43497Can I have the kidneys for dinner to- morrow?"
43497Can he be Amitabha himself?
43497Could I not buy some of these charming figures?
43497Could the boat provide us with shelter?
43497Could we keep alive till the sun rose?
43497Did spring set in so early in these more southern regions?
43497Does the Maharaja of Kashmir lay claim to it, or the Dalai- Lama, or is it a part of Chinese Turkestan?
43497Each community remains together on the journey, but how do they choose a leader?
43497Had Ganpat Sing lost the letters, or had they never reached Leh?
43497Had Hlaje Tsering received secret orders from Lhasa?
43497Had I not here a task before me much more profitable than following in the steps of Tommy Atkins to Lhasa?
43497Had he been informed that the Tashi Lama was really expecting me?
43497Had it, perchance, tributaries deriving their water from the heart of the mysterious country to the north?
43497Had the wolves torn him in pieces?
43497Has anything happened to him?
43497Has one of your superiors sent you?"
43497Have they not come this very day to stop our further progress?"
43497Have you one from the Tashi Lama?
43497He was given the particulars he wanted, and then he asked:"Will the Bombo Chimbo be so kind as to wait here until the answer comes back?"
43497Hlaje Tsering bristled up at once and exclaimed:"To the Dangra- yum- tso?
43497How can they love a wife whom they possess in common with others, so that there is no room for the idea of faithfulness in marriage?
43497How could I foresee that I should one day reckon him among my best friends, and think of him with warm respect and admiration?
43497How is the caravan?"
43497How long is it to the dawn?
43497How long would it be before the boat would ground on the hard, salt bottom, if it found itself in a trough between two waves?
43497How should we prosper?
43497How were we to pass the night with 29 degrees of frost, and wet clothes already stiffened into cuirasses of ice?
43497I look in vain for the beacon of my servants; have they not obeyed my orders, or are they so far from the shore that the fire is invisible?
43497If I let you go, which road will you take?"
43497Is it to be wondered at that a stranger feels happy in this house, where he is surrounded daily with kindness and hospitality?
43497Is not the following menu tempting?
43497Is the river one of the forbidden paths of Tibet?
43497Is there a lake in the neighbourhood?
43497It is evident that we must leave Shigatse, but by which route?
43497It is well and naturally executed--_pia fraus!_"When was the monastery founded?"
43497Might it not be better to make for the unknown country west of the Dangra- yum- tso, which after all was the main object of my journey?
43497Nay, should I ever have enough of it?
43497Now all the militia must stand under arms to----""You surely do not intend to detain me again?"
43497Now the only question was: should we be able to drag ourselves along to inhabited districts?
43497On October 1 I wrote in my diary:"What will be our experiences in this new month?
43497Or should we seek out the nearest nomads at once, and beg them for assistance?
43497Or tell me to what Power this land belongs?
43497Robert and I rolled ourselves together in a bunch, but of what use was it?
43497Several months?"
43497Shall we remain together so long?
43497Should I be tired of it?
43497Should we all remain together till we fell in with the first nomads?
43497Should we be received as open enemies, and after all wish ourselves back with the wolves on the banks of Yeshil- kul?
43497Should we perish one after another in these icy deserts of the Tibetan Alps?
43497The post?
43497Three antelope tracks we crossed were regarded as a good sign; there must be pasturage somewhere about, but where?
43497Twilight falls; I feel my heart beating; shall we succeed?
43497Was it another traveller, or had hunters wandered thus far?
43497Was it certain where the source of the Brahmaputra lay?
43497Was it possible?
43497Was it, perhaps, impossible, for political reasons, to send me my letters from India?
43497Was the spring coming?
43497Was, perhaps, the Raga- tsangpo the main stream?
43497Were there warm springs at the bottom which prevented the lake from freezing over in parts?
43497What are you gazing at?"
43497What did it matter what time it was?
43497What did it matter whether the Tibetans would be friendly or hostile?
43497What did this most unexpected change of front mean?
43497What did we care if the air was raw and cold?
43497What did we talk about?
43497What do you think of doing now?"
43497What is to happen then?"
43497What on earth can he have to tell them that they have not heard already twenty times over?
43497What would become of the re- incarnation when no one knew where the two popes were dwelling?
43497What would it have profited me to have made them anxious by anticipating troubles?
43497What would the next year bring?
43497When and where would these leaves come to rest after flying over endless stretches of unknown country?
43497When did he come?"
43497Where have you been yourself?"
43497Where would our grand progress come to a standstill, checked by a peremptory"Thus far and no farther,"backed up by muzzle- loaders and sabres?
43497Who would have looked for a true prairie up here in North Tibet?
43497Why did I not understand him when he so plainly said a last good- bye?
43497Why did they not signal by lighting a fire?
43497Why should they speed away at random like soulless flying- machines?
43497Why?
43497Would it be granted me to find once more my home unchanged?
43497Would it not be better to land and wait for the day?
43497Would opposition still continue, or would the Tibetans prove more friendly than Europeans?
43497Would the 13th be unfortunate for us also?
43497Would the lama monasteries of Tibet give us such a friendly welcome?
43497the culminating point of my career or a retrogression?
12086Alas, how could you do this thing? 12086 And how do you know that, maiden?
12086And what is the price of that?
12086And what successful stroke of business have you concluded?
12086And you sleep on the ground- floor, while your parents have their room above? 12086 Are you betrothed?"
12086Are you not a little mad?
12086Are you not the protector of our doctrine, and is it not natural that the spirits should pay special attention to your prayers?
12086But are you not afraid of rousing suspicion?
12086But how is she to be cured?
12086But how shall we bring the thing about?
12086But if, by mischance, our son should die?
12086But what are you going to do?
12086But what has caused this illness?
12086But what shall I say if he asks me for news?
12086But what, then, is the reason for this hunger?
12086But why must the wives of the people come here, if my wife need not disturb herself to do so?
12086But will my mother consent?
12086Could you not lead me to him?
12086Do you dare to come to my house and insult me and strike me?
12086Do you mean what you say?
12086Do you think we can be safe when she has gone to Fan?
12086How can it be done? 12086 How comes a singing girl to belong to my brother?"
12086How could a young man of your education commit such an act? 12086 How does this wretch dare to dishonor my family?"
12086How is our plan going?
12086How old are you? 12086 How should I dare to fix a price?
12086In my heart?
12086In what can I serve you?
12086In what special way are you so seriously ill?
12086My poor child,she asked,"what is the matter with you?"
12086Since we are husband and wife,he said impatiently,"why do we not sleep under the same blanket?"
12086The small Eternal Life? 12086 Then how much must he give to take me away?"
12086Well? 12086 What are you going to do, then?"
12086What do you mean?
12086What do you want with me?
12086What have you done?
12086What have you there?
12086What is his name?
12086What is my Lord''s intention?
12086What is the matter? 12086 When I have the good fortune to receive your learned and enlightening counsel, how could I fail to respect it?"
12086When will he come?
12086Where is the silver?
12086Who is this friend, Sun? 12086 Why did you not say so?
12086Why do you lock yourselves in during full daylight, and groan and embrace each other?
12086Why do you tell me all that? 12086 With such an adorably beautiful girl?
12086Would you not say they were real?
12086Ya- nei? 12086 You are not very eager, then?"
12086You have succeeded in rising, my elder brother?
12086You wish to go? 12086 Your Honorable Favor has doubtless some admirable plan?"
12086After a moment she continued:"Shall I tell you the name of your illness?
12086Also, if you say nothing, who will know of it?"
12086And in what manner are these prayers made?"
12086And then frighten us with your illness?
12086And what is your first name which one does not presume to repeat?"
12086And what would people say of me afterwards?"
12086Are you able to come back again, when even I am so tired?"
12086Are you not betrothed?"
12086Are you not hungry?
12086Are you trying to insult me by expressing a wish to prove my words?"
12086At last he answered:"What, in your enlightened opinion, ought I to do?"
12086Bewildered and not knowing what to do, he turned to Eternal Life and asked:"How can you say that I have been intimate with you?
12086But about the rest?"
12086But at last she said:"What man are you who dare to take my sister- in- law''s place?"
12086But he was seized by a whirl of cold snow, and called to the dog:"What are you barking for, O animal of the Gods?"
12086But how do these slippers come here, for they have already been worn?"
12086But how much would you need?"
12086But if the young girl should call out?
12086But it was always dark, and how can I be sure?
12086But what will become of me alone?"
12086But will your honorable father be satisfied?"
12086But, though he is there now, where will he be tomorrow?
12086By what blunder of the gods had this piece of flawless jade fallen in the windy dust, among the flowers beneath the willow?
12086Could I not have a letter from Ya- nei on his arrival?"
12086Could he have committed this double crime in his sleep?
12086Dare you say it is not true?"
12086Did you not confess all before the judge?
12086Did you not match the pair of my embroidered slippers?"
12086Did you not throw your handkerchief?
12086Did you see her?"
12086Do not fly into a rage, but answer me: what happened after ma- ma Lu had visited you?"
12086Do you believe that I could be a murderer?
12086Do you wish me to act as the go- between for your marriage?
12086Do you wish to make us a laughing- stock?"
12086Each of them cried:"Uncle, how could you do such a thing?"
12086Elegant watched him with astonishment, and asked him in a low voice:"Is that still too little?"
12086Eternal Life answered in irritation:"Did you not look at me with lecherous eyes under my window?
12086For what did you take me?
12086Had your father an enemy?"
12086Has my Lord made a decision on this point?"
12086Have you come to some arrangement with her on this point?"
12086Have you found the hundred and fifty ounces?"
12086He asked her:"On which pillow would you like to sleep?
12086He brought his lips close to the delicate ear lying beside him, and whispered:"Why are you so bashful?
12086He only answered with a flood of tears; so she insisted:"Can people have been so hard as to refuse three hundred ounces?"
12086He repeated:"Is it I?
12086He thought:"How does he already know what happened in my house but yesterday?"
12086His emotion began to rise, and he asked:"How many flowering Springtides have you known?"
12086His mother opened the door to him, and cried in terror:"Have you stolen the corpse also?"
12086How can I manage to see this bird?"
12086How can I tell him how to find me again?"
12086How can he be here?"
12086How comes it that she is not further developed?"
12086How could I have avoided this?"
12086How could he endure such torture?
12086How could she have a forbidden love?
12086How could you get in?
12086How could your prudent relatives and valuable friends fail to share the views of your honorable father?
12086How dare you deny it?"
12086How did you kill her father and her mother?"
12086How is it that you want to eat all that?"
12086How shall I ensure our happiness, when my father has broken with me?
12086How shall I set about making known my thought to him?"
12086How should I dare not to keep my word?
12086How should I not be glad of this offer?"
12086If anything is the matter, we must discuss it Why do you hide your sorrow from me?"
12086If he spent the borrowed money on"tinted faces,"would not his father bear a grudge against those who lent it?
12086If his plan is good, why should I not agree to it?"
12086If there were a mistake, would you leave him to die?"
12086If you beat her, all the neighbors will know, and who would wish to marry her?
12086If you kill her, what will be left to us?
12086In his emotion and fear, he cried:"Are you not dead, my darling?"
12086In the darkness, and in such emotion, how could that mistake be known?
12086In the middle of the night he awoke and gave another deep sigh; and she said to him:"What is this difficult matter with which my Lord is troubled?
12086In this way he fell into the trap set by Sun, who hastened to salute him, asking:"Old- Elder- Brother, what is your honorable name?
12086Instead of leaving them to enrich the earth, would it not be better to take them?"
12086Is it not a fitting time to drink and rejoice, so as to forget our former sorrows?
12086Is not my turn coming?"
12086Is not this the house of Fan and Erh- lang?"
12086Is she not an Immortal from the Jasper Lake Or from the Moon Palace?
12086Is she not charming?
12086Is that not strange?
12086Is the matter so in truth?
12086Is there no son of decent family who would marry her?
12086Lord Wang pointed out the guilty ones, and caused them to be put in chains, asking:"Whence come these marks of red and black upon you?"
12086Meanwhile the nurse objected:"But what can they say there?
12086My uncle, what brings you?"
12086Otherwise, must I not die in order to redeem my shame?"
12086Ought he to kill her?
12086She approached the bench where he sat, and he took her hand:"How can I have been so foolish as to fear you?"
12086She asked him:"Has it been very difficult?
12086She called him:"Have you a little honey- water?"
12086She felt him gently move her leg to one side, and then she made as though to wake saying:"Who are you who come in the night and insult me?"
12086She has very well kept him company, has she not?"
12086She herself went to the room where the nurse was, and asked:"Has our new daughter''s mother something to say to us?"
12086She then undid her husband''s clothes and, leaning on the pillow, gently asked him:"What news have you heard that has so upset you?"
12086The Governor smiled:"Then it is only the cells which these two women occupied that have secret passages?"
12086The latter looked at him intently, and harshly asked:"How did you enter into an intrigue with P''an''s daughter?
12086The lower one?"
12086The sick man was startled and sat up:"How do you know that?"
12086The unhappy man wept, saying:"What must I write?
12086Then he denied the matter:"Kinsman, whence come these words with which you are trying to sully my family?"
12086Then in the middle of the night she asked:"If you can not find three hundred ounces to free me, what are we to do?"
12086Then will not the temporary residence of your Honorable Favor become a permanent one?
12086They looked at each other in dismay:"What are we going to do now?"
12086They quickly put on their garments, and came to kneel before the Governor, who asked them:"What did you see during the night?
12086Was it not strangely fortunate that Prudence''s mother should herself have come and let her in this manner to his bed?
12086Was it you who killed her?"
12086Was this departure genuine, now, or but pretended?
12086We might imagine that your family had changed its intention....""At least, can I see the invalid?"
12086What are these sighings?"
12086What are you afraid of?
12086What can we do?"
12086What could she do, she who was thus deprived of the money and the pledge of love?
12086What have you done?"
12086What have you to say?"
12086What is it you desire?"
12086What is the illness?"
12086What is the use of arguing it?
12086What is your plan, ma- ma?"
12086What shall we do?"
12086What will become of us, now that we have no trace of visitors?"
12086What will happen if people come to know of it?"
12086When I saw him beneath the moon, why had I not wings to fly to him?
12086When she was alone with Li Chia, Shih- niang asked:"Where shall we go when we have left the capital?
12086Where are the thousand ounces?"
12086Where does he come from?
12086Where will you find clothes and food?
12086Where, then, shall we two, floating with the current, come to our anchorage?
12086Who is the little girl who has such feet?
12086Who would be content with three hundred ounces for such a beauty?
12086Who would have thought of troubling to examine the two new arrivals?
12086Who would have thought your faith so shallow, that, on the strength of a chance conversation, you would consent to lose my loyal heart?
12086Who would have ventured out there?
12086Whose was that voice?"
12086Why are you resting like this?"
12086Why could she not meet some charming companion, some phoenix worthy of her?
12086Why did she make the mistake of loving Li Chia?
12086Why did you show it me?"
12086Why do you fear to speak?"
12086Why do you show such grief to- day, when we are about to cross the river and to taste the joy of a hundred years?
12086Why have you committed acts of which Celestial Reason disapproves?"
12086Why should you cut my parents''throats, and cause my death?"
12086Why were you weeping?"
12086Why, then, do you hang such words to your/ teeth?"
12086Why, then, must the women also go and pass the night in the temple?
12086Will you hear it?"
12086Will you not consent to favor me with a song?"
12086Will you not consent to help me?"
12086Will you, please, feel his pulse?"
12086With what object are you trying to encompass my ruin?"
12086Would it not be better for us to go to him, and to keep to our boat while you pray your friends to go and ask for a harmonious reconciliation?
12086Would it not be better to send him back with a letter to Wu, requiring gifts of betrothal?
12086Would it not be better to tell Prudence to go and keep her company?"
12086Would it not be my venerable brother''s pleasure that we should go to a riverside pavilion and divert ourselves by drinking wine?"
12086Would it not be safer?"
12086Would not the neighbors know it?"
12086Wu asked him:"How many sons have you, O Old- Man- Born- Before- Me?"
12086You leave a beautiful woman to live there all alone: can you guarantee that none will climb her wall or penetrate her dwelling?
12086You to whom I owe so much, what do you say?"
12086Your suffering rises from that; is it not so?"
29939Ah,said the ape,"is it so high that it outranks all other dignities?"
29939And have you come?
29939And how do you know this?
29939And what have you done during all those long years?
29939And where do you wish to go now?
29939And where is Molo?
29939And where is the heartless husband?
29939And who might he be?
29939And why should we not celebrate,answered his wife,"since we have now become emperor and empress?"
29939Are all the stars in their places?
29939Are you able to walk?
29939But she is up in Heaven,said the Herd Boy,"and how can I get there?"
29939But what are rain- sheep?
29939But what shall I do now?
29939But where is your daughter?
29939Can one gain eternal life by means of them?
29939Can one gain eternal life in this way?
29939Can one secure eternal life by means of it?
29939Could you present him to me some time?
29939Did all go well?
29939Did not grandmother tell us that we must save no black- headed human beings?
29939Did you kill any one?
29939Do you imagine,he told her,"that because your parents can visit human beings with misfortune, that a real man would be afraid of a frog?"
29939Do you wish to marry some one else, seeing that he has been missing so long?
29939Has she also invited me?
29939Have you enough?
29939Have you seen the girl in the red coat?
29939How could we claim such high descent?
29939How many are there of you brothers?
29939How many did you slay?
29939How so do our lines not make sense?
29939I am the man,answered Dung, alarmed,"how do you happen to know me?"
29939I am the third,he answered,"and you?"
29939May one sit down here?
29939Now just tell me what tricks you are up to? 29939 O youth, whence do you come, that you dare to take our clothes?"
29939Shall I teach you the sciences?
29939Then, if you are no blessed god, how comes it you sing that divine song?
29939Well, what are these evils?
29939Were any fields damaged?
29939What are the sciences?
29939What can be the matter with the horse?
29939What does that teach?
29939What is the way of repose?
29939What is to be done?
29939What rank has this office?
29939What sort of a god is he?
29939When is the great flood coming?
29939Where are you going?
29939Where is your home?
29939Who is Tsian Tang?
29939Why are you making such a noise?
29939Why are you so sad? 29939 Why did you not tell me at once?"
29939Why do you ask me how I am getting along?
29939Why do you not go along yourself and hunt up your father?
29939Will it give one eternal life?
29939Will you not rest a bit?
29939A leaden bullet is no bird, the stable- boy does his work outside, would you call him into the room?
29939After they had driven a good ways, they asked:"Will we soon get to grandmother''s house?"
29939And now, who are you?
29939And the emperor said:"What shall we do?"
29939And the father said:"Are those not my daughters''voices?"
29939And then I must ask you whether there is anything else you can do, aside from playing your tricks of transformation?"
29939And to his apes he said:"What should be done?"
29939And what are you doing before my door?"
29939And when he entered the hall, an old lady with white hair and bent back, leaning on a cane, came forward and asked:"What man is this?"
29939And when the fire had heated him thoroughly, he suddenly opened his mouth-- and can you imagine what came out of it?
29939And when they saw that the struggle had still not come to an end she said to Laotzse:"How would it be if we helped Yang Oerlang a little?
29939And who are you, tell me that, who instead of grieving for yourself, are grieving for others?
29939Are there gods who teach men to fear their wives?
29939Astonished, he inquired:"Who are you?
29939At once a warrior emerged from the waves of the sea, and asked:"Whence come you, honored guest?"
29939Before long one of the saint''s disciples came and opened the door and said:"What sort of a beast is it that is making such a noise?"
29939But his brother was jealous of him, and said to him, harshly:"Where did you manage to steal the money?"
29939But is your hat genuine?"
29939But since a ruler has already arisen to reign over it, what is there to keep me in this country?
29939But the ancient was already there, took him by the hand and said:"Are you back already to where you were?
29939But the sorcerer answered:"Did not my ship turn turtle at sea, and yet you try to deceive me?"
29939But what magic power have you at your disposal, that you were able to get here?"
29939Can you fly already?"
29939Can you prevent it?"
29939Do the gods slaughter cattle like men?"
29939Do you know of any one who might answer?"
29939Do you not want to tell your old slave about it?"
29939Dschou Bau asked him:"Who are you?"
29939Dung asked him:"Did anything out of the ordinary happen when Sir Wang died?"
29939Dung was agreeable and asked:"But what really brings you here?"
29939Full of joy he leaped up and said:"How is it you have come back to me?"
29939Have I no halo which makes you fear me, instead of going walking with me?"
29939Have you any other income aside from it?"
29939Have you come from the castle of the Lady in the Moon, or the Jade Spring of the Queen- Mother of the West?"
29939Have you heard anything regarding a hero who is supposed to be in this neighborhood?"
29939Have you no kinsfolk who will hasten to help you in your need, that you are compelled to turn to a mortal man?"
29939Have you still not forgotten your pain?"
29939He asked him:"Where is Old Dschang''s country house?"
29939He asked them:"How many trees in all are there in the garden?"
29939He belonged to the butterfly dancers, said he, and asked casually:"Are you sick because of Rose of Evening?"
29939He called Sun Wu Kung up to him and asked:"What progress have you made with your art?
29939He called out to his Master:"What does all this mean?"
29939He was angry and scolded them, saying:"Why did you disobey my command?"
29939Her father asked angrily:"Why did you throw the ball into the beggar''s hands?"
29939His foster- mother was frightened, and asked:"Where have you been all year long?"
29939His hand is not a foot long; how could I help but leap out of it?"
29939How are you?"
29939How can I honorably live again with such a man as you?"
29939How can it possess a god''s power?
29939How can you be of aid to him?
29939How can you expect to rule here as Lord of the Heavens?
29939How could the light have gone out?"
29939How could you arrange our marriage?"
29939How dare you claim that you have left my hand?
29939How did you happen to meet my sister?"
29939How does that happen?"
29939How is it that another one comes now?"
29939How is it with my merit?"
29939How is it you do not return to us until now?"
29939How many years would you have to pass before you could attain the dignity he has gained?
29939How would it be if we were to buy steel and iron and have those smiths weld weapons for us?"
29939How would it be possible to win into it?"
29939IV WHO WAS THE SINNER?
29939In she came, much excited, and began:"Have I ever omitted, as is right and proper, to visit you morning and evening?
29939In the morning the father was very angry with the children, and said:"Who wants to go along to grandmother?"
29939Is it possible for you to walk through the water?"
29939Is it possible that she may be up there?"
29939Is that not better than dying of hunger as a poor scholar?"
29939Liu I asked:"What is this place called?"
29939Liu I asked:"Why should the matter be kept from him?"
29939Liu I went on to ask:"Why is he interested in the sacred book of the fire?"
29939Ma asked:"Did not a man with two pails of water on his shoulder just go in?"
29939Mosu bowed with lowered head and said:"But what have I done?"
29939Moved to tears, he asked:"O my father, why are you here?"
29939Notscha, however, came to them and said:"Why do you weep?
29939On the way he met the Bare- Foot God and asked him:"Where are you going?"
29939Once he was asked:"About how old might this tortoise be?"
29939Round the Blue Pass snow towers high, And who will lead the horse aright?
29939Said Sun Wu Kung to him:"To whom do you belong, little one?
29939Said Sun Wu Kung:"What does magic teach one?"
29939Said the Great Saint:"And who are all those whom the Queen- Mother has invited?"
29939Said the wood- chopper:"I am only a workman; why do you call me divine master?"
29939Softly he said to his friend:"What are the three river- gods called?"
29939Suddenly an ancient man stood before him, leaning on a staff, who said:"What do you lack since you complain so?"
29939Suddenly he saw a creature rise out of the waves, on whose back sat an armed man who cried in a loud voice:"Who has slain my Triton?"
29939Sun Wu Kung answered:"If you do not know me then why did you send for me and have me dragged to this place?
29939Sun Wu Kung grew very angry and said:"What sort of a devil is this who dares be so impudent?"
29939Sun Wu Kung shouted at him:"Accursed devil, where are your eyes, that you can not see the venerable Sun?"
29939Sun Wu Kung snorted and said:"Who are you, who dare to speak to me?"
29939Surely that is enough to entitle me to be the Lord of the Heavens?"
29939Tell me, pray, whence you come?"
29939The Emperor said:"What do you know?"
29939The King of the Apes said:"Where do these three kinds of beings live?"
29939The Lord of the Heavens asked:"Then this hairy face with the pointed lips is Sun Wu Kung?"
29939The ancient man said:"How much money would you need in order to live in all comfort?"
29939The ancient seized his arm and said:"Where are you going?
29939The ape leaped out, and when he saw the powerful hero with the three- tined sword standing before him he asked:"And who may you be?"
29939The cow said:"Do you see that old willow- tree there on the shore?
29939The eight boys changed into old men again and said:"Do you wish to go to school to us, O King?
29939The eight old men smiled and said:"Oh, and are we too old to suit you?
29939The giant called out harshly:"Who are you?
29939The great king nodded, looked around and asked:"Are all the folk of the Wo- Me hills present?"
29939The inn- keeper received him with the words:"Are you Master Dung, and have you come from the bay of Kaiutschou?"
29939The king asked:"Are you not a living human being?
29939The latter cried out:"How are you?
29939The sea- dragon cried:"Who is disturbing me here in my own kingdom?"
29939The ten Princes of the Dead were frightened, bowed before him and asked:"Who are you?"
29939The wise man asked:"And have you still in your possession the stone which compels the dragons to do your will?"
29939The woman answered:"How could I use you as a stranger?
29939Then Sun Wu Kung was frightened and asked:"Is there any means of protection against these dangers?"
29939Then he asked them:"Whom have I really the honor of entertaining?
29939Then he looked at the merchant and asked:"Why is your necklace so short?"
29939Then he questioned them further:"Have you the dragon- brain vapor?"
29939Then he said in a deep voice:"Where are you?
29939Then he saw the merchant and asked:"From whence does he hail?"
29939Then some one asked:"If you have pears then why do you not eat your own?"
29939Then the Master asked:"Shall I teach you the way of magic?"
29939Then the apes opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues, and said:"Father, how is it possible for you to carry that heavy thing?"
29939Then the daughters asked:"Mother, what are you eating?"
29939Then the fox said:"How about it?
29939Then the girls within called out:"Who is knocking at our door?"
29939Then the soldier showed her the rope and said with a laugh:"Is this the thing you mean?
29939Then the woman asked:"And where did you pass on your way?"
29939Then there were doubts and questionings:"But the river- god lives a thousand miles away from here, how does he get to this place?"
29939They sat down beside each other and the stranger asked:"What have you to eat?"
29939They thanked him and began to flatter him:"With your power and wisdom, great king, why should you have to serve the Lord of the Heavens?
29939What are you doing here?"
29939What are you waiting to learn, then?"
29939What difference does it make?"
29939What do you mean by carrying on in such an unfitting manner?"
29939What do you wish me to change myself into?"
29939What has brought you here?"
29939What has the Lord of the Heavens accomplished that entitles him to remain eternally on his throne?
29939What is the punishment you wish to lay upon me?"
29939What is this one ear worth to you?
29939What need was there for him to lure me into his heaven to feed horses?
29939What need was there for the body to go along?
29939What shall I do with it?"
29939What should be done?"
29939What sort of a creature must I be?
29939What sort of a title is that?"
29939When Sky O''Dawn had died, the Emperor called the astrologer to him and asked:"Did you know Sky O''Dawn?"
29939When he reached his house he asked:"Who is weeping here so pitifully?"
29939When he reached land he saw a youth who asked him with astonishment:"Are you not from the Middle Kingdom?"
29939When the rice was nearly boiled his sister- in- law said:"Wo n''t your leg be injured?"
29939When they admitted that they had not, the wise man said:"How then will you compel the dragons to yield their treasure?"
29939Where are you?
29939Which way shall I teach you?"
29939While the daughters replied:"Is that not our father''s voice?"
29939While they were at table Sun Wu Kung asked accidentally:"Stablemaster?
29939Why are you not asleep?
29939Why did you have to marry her to such a wrinkled old gardener?
29939Why do you have to turn yourself into a pine- tree?
29939Why do you speak about my having been gone a year?"
29939Why is this?"
29939Why not let me go instead?
29939Why should I continue to live?"
29939Why should a gentleman''s beautiful daughter condescend to marry a poor old gardener like yourself?
29939Why should he withdraw from you the enjoyment of the incense?"
29939Why suddenly grow so angry about it?"
29939Will you not come home with me?"
29939Will you not speak one little word to save me?
29939With tears in his eyes Sun Wu Kung asked him:"But where shall I go?"
29939Wo n''t you say one little word to me?
29939Yet the Sea of Dungting is long and broad, and how am I to find him?"
42886Am I not a representative of one of the greatest mandarins of the empire?
42886Are n''t you almost certain to be killed if you are found in company with a foreigner whom you are aiding to escape?
42886Are they armed?
42886Are you going to accept that proposition?
42886Are you hurt, Rob?
42886Are you really my father?
42886Are you sick, or wounded, or what? 42886 Are you the American minister?"
42886But how about the message to Pao- Ting?
42886But what were you doing all this time?
42886But who are you, sir? 42886 But why do you wear your finger- nails so long?"
42886But, Rob, what do you suppose he wants all this white stuff worked into it for?
42886Ca n''t something be done for them?
42886Can you possibly be the Rob Hinckley who crossed the Pacific to Manila in the transport_ Logan_ last March?
42886Can you tell how he was dressed?
42886Can you tell me how soon I can get a train for New York?
42886Can you tell me, sir,asked our lad, addressing this officer,"what American ship that is out there, and how she got wrecked?"
42886Chinee, is he?
42886Closed, pig? 42886 Did I not tell you that we are the servants of Yu- Hsien?
42886Did n''t you know who I was until we stood together on the watch- tower?
42886Did they know we were coming?
42886Did you see any of the other boys throw anything at him?
42886Do you mean the''Hi- ho''call?
42886Fable?
42886Garnet?
42886Have n''t you just told me all about yourself?
42886Have we?
42886How can you identify them?
42886How did he do that?
42886How did you know? 42886 How did you know?
42886How far is it from Pao- Ting- Fu to Pekin?
42886How far is the line open?
42886How long have you been in this country?
42886How were they killed? 42886 I am told that you speak English; who are you, and why do you come here?"
42886I wonder what Corregidor means?
42886Including members of the legations?
42886Is it possible that you are my own little Rob?
42886Is not the man with the black face, standing by your side at this moment, a foreign devil?
42886Is she pretty?
42886Is there a gentleman by the name of Wang stopping here?
42886Is there any answer, sir?
42886Is this terrible thing the work of the great Boxer?
42886Is this your man, deputy?
42886Is your first name Robert?
42886Like this?
42886Like this?
42886Native of China?
42886Never lived in S----?
42886Not a son of Dr. Mason Hinckley?
42886Not as my guest?
42886Now tell me, Miss Lorimer, what the Chinese boy did all this time? 42886 Oh, he carn''t, carn''t he?
42886Oh, would he?
42886Oh, you''re not going to wait any longer, are n''t you? 42886 Pretty tough- looking characters, are n''t they?"
42886Speaking of the Fourth of July,said Rob,"do you remember that to- morrow is the Fourth?"
42886That well- dressed young fellow?
42886That''s the worst place between here and Pekin, is n''t it?
42886Then what do you say? 42886 Then you are pretty certain that we will go sooner or later?"
42886Then you really are going to Manila?
42886Um,said the other, meditatively;"changed his description, have they?
42886Was it any one you knew?
42886Was that China boy mixed up in it? 42886 Well, my friends, what is it?
42886What could they mean? 42886 What do we care fer him or fer his talk?"
42886What do you fellows want here?
42886What do you mean by abusing him? 42886 What do you mean by wrecked?
42886What do you mean? 42886 What do you mean?
42886What do you mean?
42886What do you propose to do now?
42886What do you want now?
42886What has all this to do with us?
42886What have you been doing there?
42886What is going on here, Constable Jones? 42886 What is it, old man?"
42886What is the meaning of this disgraceful exhibition, Robert?
42886What is the use of running any farther?
42886What is your name?
42886What kind of boys were they?
42886What means of transportation should we have if you did decide to leave, now that the railway is no longer in operation?
42886What name was it?
42886What other damage has been done?
42886What was his crime?
42886What''s the matter with walking around an end of it?
42886What, for instance?
42886What_ do_ you mean? 42886 When will it get me to New York?"
42886Where is his excellency, Yu- Hsien?
42886Where?
42886Who are you?
42886Who is the most popular fellow in Hatton?
42886Who would have thought of his playing into our hands by doing such a fool thing?
42886Who?
42886Why did you not come forward sooner to testify in this case, Miss Lorimer, since you seem so greatly interested in it?
42886Why?
42886Wo n''t you step inside for a cup of tea?
42886Would n''t it just be pie for them to get hold of him, blue dress, pig- tail, and all?
42886Would n''t you rather remain in here and live than go out and meet a certain death?
42886Would you know any of those boys again if you should see them?
42886Yes,chimed in Constable Jones, wrathfully,"what does it mean?
42886Yes; and is n''t it queer that it should be the same as the first two names of the I- Ho- Chuan?
42886You are alive and not harmed?
42886You are sure?
42886You do n''t mean the place where the missionaries were killed the other day?
42886You have n''t seen any missionaries killed, have you?
42886After all, was the city of Pekin a good place for a young American and a Chinese who had befriended him to enter at that moment?
42886Are troops on the way?"
42886Are you all mad or drunk with the juice of poppies?
42886Are you going to take her with us to Pekin?
42886Are you willing to return to the mission with an order for its inmates to set out for this place within half an hour?"
42886Are you?"
42886At length he began to grow uneasy; and, walking over to the officer who guarded the door, he asked:"Is the commissioner very busy this morning?"
42886But is it any more dreadful than certain things done at fashion''s decree in your own country?
42886But what''s the matter with riding?
42886But wo n''t both of you come to our house for luncheon?
42886But would you dare travel another thousand miles through China, alone, and in view of the rumors of trouble that we have been hearing lately?"
42886But, before I forget to mention it, how would you like to go along with us?"
42886CHAPTER XI ACCEPT A KINDNESS AND PASS IT ALONG"Is it as bad as all that, my boy?"
42886Can not I meditate in peace without being disturbed by the howlings of you swine?
42886Can you let me have one of your men to identify me at the Italian barricade across Legation Street?
42886Can you take them and see that they go light away quick?"
42886Can you tell me by what fluid it has been saturated?
42886Could Rob have reached there in time to become involved in the trouble?
42886Did he not, even when we were strangers, fight to save me from abuse?
42886Did it really occur?"
42886Did you get through to Tien- Tsin?
42886Do n''t yer dare let him out, for fear he''ll get hurted?
42886Do n''t you remember crawling into it last night?
42886Do n''t you remember that I was telling them what Yu- Hsien would do if they interfered with his plans?
42886Do you believe it can be as bad as that, Uncle Will?"
42886Do you happen to know of any one who could give me a job?"
42886Do you hear me, Chink?
42886Do you know what I think?
42886Do you need an introduction?"
42886Do you remember the date, sir, on which you saw them in Hong- Kong?"
42886Do you want the job?"
42886Foreigners expelled Chinese from their countries, so why should not his people in turn expel foreigners from China?
42886Had he enlisted in the army?
42886Has it not already been told to your dull ears that upon his reaching the imperial city within two days depends the very life of the Son of Heaven?"
42886Have I your permission to question him?"
42886Have n''t you been employed in Charley Wing''s laundry in S----?"
42886How can it be that the gate is closed without orders from me, the keeper of the gate?
42886How dare you come up here without orders?
42886How did you get here?
42886How in the name of--?
42886How in the world did he happen to be on board a transport?
42886How many?
42886I am a student, and--""This is n''t your picture, then?"
42886I wonder if it has become known that we communicated with your mother?
42886If so, was he alive or dead?
42886If you did n''t know that about your family, would n''t you want to go where you could find out?"
42886Instead of shaking each other''s hand and saying"How do you do, Mr. Wang?
42886Is anything the matter with the old packet?"
42886Is it a go, and may we count on you as a fellow- passenger aboard the good old_ Logan_?"
42886Is it not?
42886Is it, by any chance, blood from the veins of this Joseph Lee, and caused to flow by the ill treatment he is alleged to have suffered?"
42886Is n''t it the greatest bit of luck in the world?
42886Is she a monitor?"
42886Is she alive or dead?"
42886Is the track- repairing car ready, as the governor requested?
42886May I ask where you were born?"
42886May I ask your name?"
42886Run away?
42886Savvy?"
42886Shall we take advantage of the confusion to light out?
42886Should you have known him, papa?"
42886Their names?
42886Then he said:"Did you not know that his excellency Li Ching Cheng had been given a position on the Board of Punishment?
42886Then, again speaking to Jo, he said:"Ask your friend what''s wrong with the road beyond Pao- Ting- Fu?"
42886Was he very fierce, and did he strike at his assailants as if he were trying to kill them?"
42886Was n''t he perfectly splendid?
42886Was n''t she awfully glad to see you when you got back from America?"
42886We certainly have got the old wagon to ourselves now, and the question is, what shall we do with it?"
42886Were the muckers fighting among themselves?"
42886What could it mean?
42886What did they do?"
42886What do you say?
42886What do you say?
42886What do you think?
42886What do you want?"
42886What has happened?"
42886What is your own name?"
42886What time do we start?"
42886What were their names?"
42886What''s the matter?
42886When do you think I can start, Uncle Will?
42886When they reached the parsonage, and Mrs. Hinckley, in the back of the house, heard their voices, she called out:"Is that you, Rob?
42886Where are you staying?"
42886Where is father?
42886Where is she?
42886Where was he now?
42886Where would he go from there?
42886Who are these people, and what do they want?"
42886Who are you?
42886Why do n''t you rush into each other''s arms?
42886Why had their boy gone to Manila?
42886Will you accept the position?
42886Will you and your friend sit down and kindly tell us everything that you know concerning the situation?"
42886Would he find himself fatherless?--or would the dear face still be there with its smiling welcome?
42886Would n''t you like to go aboard and take a look at her?"
42886Yes, is n''t she fine?
42886You wanchee catch one talkee man-- sabe?"
42886You wanchee catchee one piecee dollar?
42886and can I do less for him now that we are friends?
42886and do you think he would harm his own?"
42886and is n''t it fun running off with a locomotive?
42886asked the lieutenant of marines;"and were you ever on board the United States monitor_ Monterey_?"
42886cried Rob;"what shall I do?
42886demanded Jo, fiercely,"and am I not come to prepare the way for him?
42886demanded the startled minister,"and what proof can you give that your astounding statements are true?"
42886exclaimed Rob,"to have them here?
42886gasped Rob, as the friends of our lads gathered about them with congratulations at this happy ending of their troubles;"does he really mean it?"
42886he reflected;"and would n''t he think he''d run up against a war party of American Indians, ready to scalp him?
42886it''s already in the paper, is it?
42886persisted the other, curiously,"and are you very fond of her?"
42886suggested the captain, gravely;"and ca n''t I read''honesty''written on every feature of your face?
42886where are you?"
47218A tumult is heard to the right, in the wings, where more soldiers come on._] EMPRESS Who is there?
47218ARROW- BEARER Have you nothing more to say to me?
47218ARROW- BEARER I dared to raise my voice to give that order----Can I have displeased you?
47218ARROW- BEARER So this is the way you do your work?
47218After all, what have I to risk?
47218Am I not glorious?
47218And once on the ship-- so freighted with your anxiety, do you remember?
47218And then is not one permitted to change one''s mind so near to death?
47218Are you ill?
47218Are you not always the Daughter of the Mings?
47218Are you not lost in any case?
47218Are you satisfied with your government of the South?
47218Are you too proud to name the favour which would please you?
47218As soon as that dissolves---- EMPRESS I shall suffer?
47218At the Court of the Usurper who reigns at Peking what position is I yours?----Secret agent for venturesome missions?
47218At the head of his troops?
47218At what precise hour will the festival begin?
47218Black clouds, the armies of the Tartar Emperor----But this torch which shall illumine the future, what it is?
47218But can you feel anything save utter hatred for him?
47218But do you believe that I still belong to Earth?
47218But how do you come to have it?
47218But if the loyalty which I read in your eyes does not deceive me, cease the game which you are playing, and this time answer-----Who are you?
47218But to save us-----child, who think you could save us?
47218But what may it be?
47218But what was the cause of it?
47218But where are the Tartar armies, now?
47218But will not your despair be infinitely more intense should harm come to his Majesty because of a weak tenderness?
47218CHILD What about?
47218COUNCILLOR[_ To_ Veiled Light] Where did you get your information?
47218Dark rumours have reached us----Are our reconquered Provinces well garrisoned?
47218Deign to listen to what the Emperor---- EMPRESS[_ Interrupting_] Where is your Emperor?
47218Do not the laws of Heaven and earth seem always to yield to certain superior beings?
47218Do you know the order of the ceremonies?
47218Do you remember the beautiful favourite, who formerly captivated one of your sovereign ancestors?
47218Do you remember?
47218Do you think I play shuttlecock so well?
47218Do you think I would accept it?
47218Do you think that I am afraid?
47218Do you wish to ruin me?
47218Does not some new danger threaten us?
47218Duty, do you say?
47218EMPEROR Can I do so?
47218EMPEROR Depart before having seen her for a last time?
47218EMPEROR Do all the inhabitants of the city garb themselves in the old way?
47218EMPEROR Minutes?
47218EMPEROR Must we go in?
47218EMPEROR My doctor?
47218EMPEROR My trouble is mixed with sweetness----Would it not seem that Heaven approves of me and will be my ally?
47218EMPEROR That I did all in my power to save your son-- you believe that, do you not?
47218EMPEROR The Pavilion of the Ladies- in- Waiting----So there are also Ladies- in- Waiting here?
47218EMPEROR What matters it what I am?
47218EMPEROR What shall I say to him?
47218EMPEROR Who am I?
47218EMPEROR Who knows?
47218EMPEROR Yes?
47218EMPEROR Yet if he should escape, would I not be lost indeed?
47218EMPEROR You fear what?
47218EMPEROR[ To FOUNT] What makes you so uneasy?
47218EMPEROR[_ After a pause_] And your reply?
47218EMPEROR[_ Handing the child the shuttlecock_] Do you wish to go on with your game?
47218EMPEROR[_ Imploring more insistently_] Sovereign, what if I now were to implore your pardon----the right to remain here and die at your side?
47218EMPEROR[_ In full regalia, his expression sombre_] How many heads did you say had already fallen?
47218EMPEROR[_ To_ FOUNT] Did I acquit myself creditably?
47218EMPRESS A communication?
47218EMPRESS A spy, then, when you came on my Coronation day?
47218EMPRESS Ah, you have them?
47218EMPRESS And a Prince?
47218EMPRESS And by that means should one not at least see a faint glimmer?
47218EMPRESS And shall we have sufficient air in this vault, where sleep our dead?
47218EMPRESS And the rest of the city, the western citadels?
47218EMPRESS And where are they taking him, my son?
47218EMPRESS And you will give it to me?
47218EMPRESS But if I command them!----Am I no longer their Empress?
47218EMPRESS Can you not illumine the darkness?
47218EMPRESS Child, do you not know the history of our race?
47218EMPRESS How do you explain the mystery of that dream which obsesses me?
47218EMPRESS I understand----but now my son, to whom is he to be entrusted?
47218EMPRESS Is it then in my power still to do aught for them?
47218EMPRESS No aid?
47218EMPRESS Not the real Viceroy?
47218EMPRESS Oh, what are you going to say?
47218EMPRESS Our duty longer and more terrible?----Then what do you expect of me?
47218EMPRESS Power speaking to power?
47218EMPRESS To whom shall we entrust this greatest of our treasures?
47218EMPRESS What has happened?
47218EMPRESS What is it now?
47218EMPRESS What matters it now, at the point we have reached?
47218EMPRESS Will it take long?
47218EMPRESS Will you grant me the favour to sleep near him?
47218EMPRESS You swear it?
47218EMPRESS[_ At first very slowly, pacing the platform of the throne like one in a dream._] Whither am I going?
47218EMPRESS[_ Calm but bewildered_] You?
47218EMPRESS[_ Crying aloud_] My son!----It was against my son!----Where is my son?
47218EMPRESS[_ Embracing her son_] Yes, but to whom will you now entrust your Emperor?
47218EMPRESS[_ Still in great excitement_] And, clothes wherewith to escape through the country where the enemy roams at large?
47218EMPRESS[_ To_ GOLDEN LOTUS,_ who is seated to the left, holding in her lap the dying_ ARROW- BEARER''S_ head._] And you, Golden Lotus?
47218EMPRESS[_ To_ THE CHILD] Will that please you?
47218EMPRESS[_ Very calmly and indifferently_] Is it only that?
47218EMPRESS[_ Very excitedly_] And if the Tartars take us there, if they track us like beasts of the night, hunted into their burrows?
47218FAITHFUL PRINCE But you do not hope to save those of my men who are still alive?
47218FAITHFUL PRINCE Did you succeed in seeing the representative of our enemies, the Viceroy of Nanking?
47218FAITHFUL PRINCE How could I dare?
47218FAITHFUL PRINCE I May I untie them?
47218FAITHFUL PRINCE To see him again?
47218FAITHFUL PRINCE[_ Hiding weapon in her gown_] But how will you be able to use it?
47218FIR- SAPLING Ah, was it like that?
47218FIR- SAPLING What was it?
47218FOUNT And the doctor who is taking care of the mock Emperor-- are you sure of his fidelity?
47218FOUNT Will he know how to play the part which he assumed?
47218FOURTH OFFICER And have you heard the news?
47218FOURTH OFFICER Who?
47218From the usurper to your Sovereign, a communication?
47218GOLDEN LOTUS Doubtless it is unhappy for us that the usurper has made peace---- ARROW- BEARER Who knows?
47218GOLDEN LOTUS What is the meaning of that allusion?
47218GOLDEN LOTUS Will women be present at that?
47218GOLDEN LOTUS[_ to_ ARROW- BEARER] My lord, I heard that you ordered the flowers to be removed----Was I misinformed?
47218Have we time?
47218Have you not approved of my project?
47218He who is coming need not know.... Has the fire darkened my face?
47218How came he to know him?
47218How can you ask?
47218How could I make my escape in the midst of all these wonderful personages?
47218How could he reach him in his quadrupled walls?
47218How many minutes are still left to me?
47218How win the attention of his melancholy idol?
47218I am fighting like them!----And it is he, your phantom Emperor, who dares to send me a message?
47218I divided my last grains of rice this morning with you and my soldiers!----What then?
47218I do not intend to speak of your power over the Emperor----But, defeated and captive, what does it matter?
47218I must go on account of the Tartars?
47218I, your slave, and at this moment one of the first dignitaries of your Court, why am I so insignificant a thing?
47218If not, whence have you come, how, by what witchcraft have you passed these dreadful walls?
47218If one feels like that for no more than a Viceroy, how would it be if one were gazed upon by the Emperor himself?
47218In the distance a bell and a drum can be heard._ ROCK[_ Stopping his work and listening._]_ Do you hear_ the great bronze bell and the drum?
47218In the distance firing is still heard._] GOLDEN LOTUS[_ Very gently to_ ARROW- BEARER,_ whom she approaches at once_] My lord, do you wish to die?
47218In the distance they appear in the twilight like a long black trail---- FAITHFUL PRINCE How far?
47218Instant death to any one who, for any reason whatever, dares to open that door before I sound the gong_ Three Times!_ Is that understood?
47218Is it not punishment enough for you to be the last of all the victims?
47218Is n''t it true, Lee- Phuang?
47218Is not the very idea an insult?
47218Is she alive or dead, free or captive?
47218Is this our reunion beyond the grave?
47218It is the signal, then?
47218Let me be told the truth!----Where is this army?
47218Let us take time to think at least----Or perhaps, since there is such immediate need, you have deceived me, and we are surrounded?
47218Mr. Executioner, do you have to strike very hard to cut off their heads?
47218My life?
47218Never, do you hear?
47218Night continues to fall_] What is it now?
47218No, a great dignitary, then?
47218No, your hard task is not yet completed!---- EMPRESS My task, you say, is not yet completed?
47218Now you will give me my last freedom, will you not?
47218OFFICER For how many minutes?
47218Of what concern to us now are the movements of the Tartars?
47218Only she!---- FOUNT But, as she loved you once---- EMPEROR And to- day must she not hate me?
47218Otherwise you would have been unable to break through their ring of steel----A Tartar, say?
47218SECOND EXECUTIONER[_ To some other women as he points to the prisoners tied to stakes._] What, the second group there?
47218SECOND WOMAN Why not?
47218STRONG- ARM You?
47218Since there is no more hope, of what avail is this final slaughter?
47218So I am running about now, to have more patience later----Do you understand?
47218So you dare to touch me now?
47218TARTAR GENERAL Have you no last desire?
47218TARTAR GENERAL How could that be?
47218TARTAR GENERAL Oh, when will this dreadful war cease, which is renewed and has already soaked the soil of our country in the blood of her sons?
47218TARTAR GENERAL What can be done?
47218TARTAR GENERAL What is that?
47218TARTAR GENERAL[_ Advancing quickly_] Who dares to give orders without my consent?
47218THE CHILD Tell me, mother are those men to be put to death?
47218THE CHILD[_ Embracing her_] What?
47218THE OFFICER My lord, when a riot is beginning, is it not my duty?
47218THIRD OFFICER Who?
47218THIRD TARTAR WOMAN And do you suppose they will show her to you?
47218TRANQUIL BEAUTY Have all the invited guests arrived at the Palace?
47218TRANQUIL BEAUTY Is she not the Queen of his heart?
47218TRANQUIL BEAUTY Is the lesson not finished yet?
47218Tell me, it is indeed death which you have given me?
47218The Chief Executioner has given us a few minutes''rest, and we''ve earned it well, have n''t we?
47218The EMPRESS,[_ as the_ LADIES- IN- WAITING_ gather about her._] Who is that man----who is so like a god?
47218The EMPRESS[_ To the_ TARTAR EMPEROR] And you, Prince, do you desire nothing?
47218The poison which you promised lulls one to sleep, does it not?
47218Then I shall empty the cup also soon after you----Do you wish to die?
47218Then what duty remains, I ask you?
47218There is more than enough now to consume my body----Why do you make the fire so large?
47218They are thrown on to their knees at the foot of the throne._ WINGED PRINCE Who are you?
47218To the dead?
47218Under the shadow of that throne from which they would banish me, is not life an unending agony?
47218WINGED PRINCE Where do you come from?
47218WINGED PRINCE Your crime is flagrant and needs no further proof, what have you to say?
47218What are her orders?
47218What can he imagine, do you suppose?
47218What does he desire of me?
47218What does that imply?
47218What duty?
47218What interest would he have in betraying me?
47218What is happening now?
47218Where can we hide?
47218Where is the Tartar army?
47218Where is the body of my little son?
47218Where?
47218Where?
47218Who are you?
47218Who can describe the horror of that indolent stagnation, of that idle solitude?
47218Who can tell me whither I am going, where I shall soon be?
47218Who else then, in the world could it be?
47218Who else would remember me and pay the honours to my spirit?
47218Who has mourned him more than I, excepting only you?
47218Who is the woman, even though she be almost a goddess, who would not yield?
47218Who will dare to doubt?
47218Why am I in his palace, instead of in a prison?----What can he, what dares he hope?
47218Why did I not even dare to ask him, as though to speak of that man to my own child were criminal?
47218Why do the gods permit that in my lofty position, happiness should be almost unrealisable, when murder is so easy?
47218Why has he not informed us?
47218Why is my will barren, when it is so eager to make a path both smooth and glorious for your feet?
47218Why should he appear to me in that hostile and terrible form?
47218Why was I no more offended by that gaze than by the rays of the kindly sun that beat upon my palace?
47218Why?
47218Will you grant me one last favour?
47218You graft the young plant with cockscombs---- COUNCILLOR With cockscombs?----Can it be done?
47218You have already guessed my project, have you not?
47218You have it too, have you not?
47218You have witnessed such a sight?
47218You here?----Dear Prince----Have we then departed this life?
47218You know then who he is?
47218You mean him who presented himself fraudulently as our Viceroy of the South?
47218You remain here, my mother, and where you remain there I must be too.-----Leave my mother on account of the Tartars?
47218You see that he is ill.[_ To the_ EMPEROR] Why are you so pale?
47218You wish you were my mortal enemy?
47218[ FAITHFUL PRINCE_ orders the_ SOLDIERS_ to remove a rock, which hides a small bronze door._] EMPRESS Ah, I knew---- PEARL What is he doing?
47218[_ A silence, during which the EMPEROR remains bowed before her._] EMPRESS To the Daughter of the Mings, what message can the Tartar Emperor have?
47218[_ He bends the knee._] EMPRESS[_ To_ GOLDEN LOTUS] Golden Lotus, did you, as I command, attach a ring on which to hang it?
47218[_ He bows and goes out._] WINGED PRINCE[_ To_ FAITHFUL PRINCE] May I enquire after your precious health?
47218[_ Pointing to her uniform._] Not these, for sure?
47218[_ She continues to descend._] Why is there ever before my eyes the image of that man whom I saw this morning for the first time?
47218[_ Suddenly terrified, she starts up._] You have not deceived me?
47218[_ The Prince still hesitates._] You do not dare?
47218[_ To the_ EMPRESS] The torture at once, is it not?
47218[_ To the_ LADIES- IN- WAITING] Which two of you, my maidens, will have the courage to follow me down those gloomy paths below?
47218[_ To the_ WOMEN_ who questioned him_] You see the last one in the line, look at him, the one who walks with so haughty an air?
47218]_ TARTAR GENERAL Before passing from this world, have you not some mission for your dear ones which you might desire carried out?
47218are you not?
47218to the Shades, what can it matter how I use this last flicker of my life, so soon to be extinguished?
47218you ask if I fear?
39163And leave the noble Nicholas to go to the world of spirits alone? 39163 And thy reward, prince?"
39163Are my friends unjust that they will not listen to an injured man, whose injuries may be their own to- morrow?
39163Are the words of the Emperor dirt, that they should have escaped the ears of so small a dog?
39163Are then the special secrets of my noble parent of so little value that they may be wafted about the very air of this vile city of Pekin?
39163Are we birds, that we can fly?
39163Art thou also a traitor, O Yang?
39163Art thou an idiot, that after the exhibition at the monastery, the folly of these toy gods of the bonzes is not imprinted upon thine eyeballs?
39163Art thou foolish, O Chow, to believe that this eclipse was caused by the effort of a monster dragon to swallow the heavenly luminaries?
39163Art thou then a disciple of the Saviour of mankind, O Ki?
39163But the red- haired barbarians of Formosa, from whom my father has just returned, are they of the same race?
39163By what means, O foolish man, can these bonzes save thy child''s life? 39163 Can it be under heaven that Yong Li has forgotten the great services of his most illustrious general?"
39163Can it be under heaven,said he,"that so holy a body should contain so vile a heart?
39163Can the worthy woman aid us?
39163Can these words be true, O Woo? 39163 Cans''t thou be honest and silent as to my visit?"
39163Canst thou swim, O Chow? 39163 Dared the dog say this?
39163Dares the dog so far?
39163Didst thou hear the name, surname, and title of the villain lord, O Chow?
39163Do not the people fear the vengeance of the gods, that they behave thus?
39163Emperor!--what Emperor, thou ox?
39163Even if so much treason existed in my heart, how could so mean a person serve so great a prince?
39163Has the noble mandarin suffered, O worthy man?
39163Has the safety of the pearl of my life been endangered?
39163Has the vile deed been performed?
39163Has the wretched woman no friend who will purchase her?
39163Have we not honored these priests, even to making their chief the president of our high board of mathematics?
39163How came it, O thou great rogue, that the soldiers should repay thy great services with so much ingratitude?
39163How is it possible, O noble Nicholas, that we can pass through the roaring rebels, who are, doubtless, without?
39163How is this possible, thou rogue?
39163How is this? 39163 How is this?
39163How,--what words are these? 39163 If it is adverse?"
39163Is he not the son of the great merchant of the south, who rules the four seas?
39163Is it not a maxim that no effort is hopeless to the brave?
39163Is it not a maxim that wickedness defeats its own ends?
39163Is it possible for a son to forget the slayer of his parent, even if the wound in his face would not betray him?
39163Is it under heaven that thou couldst save the life of the slayer of thy parent?
39163Is my son blind, that he can not see that his parent is a prisoner to these Tartar dogs?
39163Is the boy pirate mad that he dares so insolently presume upon his small services, as to interrupt the course of justice?
39163Is the slave mad, that he dares intrude in this our highest council- chamber?
39163Is the youth bereft of his senses? 39163 Is this treble sore fresh, that it should now so rankle the heart and cloud the brow of my venerable parent?"
39163It is a common one,replied the merchant; adding,"but what brings the son of the great merchant to Pekin?
39163It is a pagan doctrine, Chow; but how came you upon yonder perch?
39163It is not under heaven, O princess, that thy slave can have given thee pain?
39163Know any of you the residence of the colao Ki?
39163Knows not the youth that I can slay him as if he were a venomous rat?
39163Let the mean rat rise upon his bamboo legs,said Nicholas; adding,"What has the dog learned of his guests''affairs?"
39163Let the youths follow,said the good- natured Woman; adding,"Whither would they be taken?"
39163May then the illustrious Prince Woo- san- Kwei be found within the palace?
39163May this not be a trap, O my prince, to beguile thy person within reach of the assassin''s dagger?
39163May thy servant inquire the amount of this innkeeper''s debt; for it is fitting that the taxes should be paid?
39163My own seeking, O mighty son of Ming? 39163 Of what enemies does my honorable father speak?
39163See,he added, as Nicholas came by his side,"he is sniffing something good; what can it be?"
39163Shall it go down to posterity that the noble Woo- san- Kwei was the assassin of his parent?
39163Shall we not kill the traitor, who has stolen my beloved mother and the princess?
39163So far thy words are truth,said the mandarin, to the astonishment of Nicholas;"but what answer can the youth make to the charge of this man?"
39163Surely my prince lifted his voice in council?
39163Surely the fleet of my father can exterminate these wasps?
39163Surely this is not well, for why need the brave stoop to such villainy?
39163Surely thy servant, who has but just entered the town, can be guilty of no crime?
39163The kingdom- soothing general speaks well, for who is this turbulent lord, and what the value of his services, that he dares be so rebellious?
39163The noble Nicholas has a father?
39163The rich need be cautious, for is it not a maxim, that a successful rebel is more to be feared than a dead Emperor, O noble Nicholas?
39163Then how, thou trembling rogue, couldst thou know it was a princess who spoke?
39163Then the sacrifice was not thine own seeking, my poor fellow?
39163Then why, O my father, were such pauper barbarians permitted to place the soles of their feet on the land of Formosa?
39163Then will not the worthy Sing seek a temple at once?
39163There can be no doubt it is the villain, for saw you not the wound upon his cheek? 39163 These are wild words, O youth; for know you not that it was the duty of our chief colao to receive thy letter?"
39163Thou art fond of Pekin, Chow?
39163Thou art the son of the good merchant, my correspondent?
39163Thou rascal,said Nicholas; but adding, more prudently,"Canst thou be honest, and serve us?"
39163Thou, then, art the servant of this dog who has profaned the imperial gardens?
39163Thy name, surname, and rank?
39163Truly so; for whose ears could be so dull as not to have drunk in his fame as a wise minister of state?
39163Truly the noble youth does not doubt that the words of his servant are straight?
39163Truly we will do better-- make him useful,said Nicholas; adding,"Is the rogue certain that these soldiers have proceeded to Lao- yang?"
39163Upon what has their wisdom determined, O prince?
39163What answer didst thou make, O Chow?
39163What answer made my honorable father?
39163What are these sad words, O my princess? 39163 What didst thou hear, dog?"
39163What dog''s words are these? 39163 What has the dog of a eunuch to say for intruding in our presence with such matters?"
39163What has the priest of Fo to say to this disgraceful charge? 39163 What mean the dogs?
39163What means the slave? 39163 What means the youth; is he a robber?"
39163What meant the rat by those words?
39163What purchase is this, thou rogue?
39163What rogue is this who dares disturb the quiet of the noble Ki?
39163What sayest the innkeeper? 39163 What says the accuser to these words?"
39163What shall thy servant discover, O brave youth?
39163What useless words are these, for where in this city is such a dog to be found, since they were hunted down by the illustrious governor? 39163 What words are these, Candida?
39163What words are these, Chow?
39163What words are these, O Candida? 39163 What words are these, O Chow?"
39163What words are these, O prince?
39163What words are these, O worthy friend?
39163What words are these, my noble parent? 39163 What words are these, thou dog of a bonze?''
39163What words are these? 39163 What words are these?
39163What words are these? 39163 What words are these?
39163What words are these?
39163What words are these?
39163What would Chow do to obtain the punishment of his enemies? 39163 What would the General Li- Kong with Woo- san- Kwei, that he thus humbles him?"
39163What would the Tartar dogs?
39163What would the nameless night prowlers with the priest of Buddha?
39163When is the next festival, O worthy innkeeper?
39163Where are our wings, O, my master? 39163 Where are we, O Chow?"
39163Who are the dogs? 39163 Who are these vile dogs that are so openly seeking their death?"
39163Who art thou boy; thy name, surname, and from what province?
39163Who cries for help?
39163Who is the vile slave, that he dares disobey the commands of the great Emperor?
39163Who is this dog, that speaks without prostrating his mean person at the feet of justice?
39163Who is thy servant, O noble Nicholas, that he should doubt, when learned mandarins believe?
39163Who, O my brother, is this bold, brave man that thus shakes the world by his power?
39163Why, in the name of the social relations, art thou as dull as a tailless peacock?
39163Why, what words are these? 39163 Will the magnificent fountain of justice give his unworthy servant a private hearing?"
39163Will the ungrateful villains let me die the dog''s death for the want of a cup of water?
39163Will the worthy innkeeper relate the ill- doings that could have brought this good magistrate to misfortune?
39163''Begone, dog, what wouldst thou do?''
39163Alone?
39163Are not the physicians of Hang- tcheou famous for their skill?"
39163Are such things possible?
39163Are the dogs tired of their lives, that they venture to make this unseemly uproar within the very hearing of the Son of Heaven himself?"
39163At any?
39163At which the bonze said,"Can not the heavenly eyes of the great prince see that the poor creature is suffering from such violent language?
39163But how wouldst thou know this vile rogue again?"
39163But then the princess could not travel without a female attendant,--and whom could they trust?
39163But who art thou, O my poor youth, who thus seekest certain death by thy presence here?"
39163But why had they not killed him at once?
39163But why then,"she added, bitterly,"has the worthless life of a daughter of his own blood been saved?"
39163Can it be that one so brave on land should be so great a coward upon water?"
39163Can, or can he not, aid me to gain admittance within the palace?
39163Canst thou answer, thou villainous old man?"
39163Do my brothers seek the presence of the great Woo- san- Kwei?"
39163Do the Tartars confer kingdoms upon their prisoners?"
39163Dost thou not know that these are the symbols of the Lord of heaven''s religion?"
39163For fear that my reader may think this episode exaggerated, I must assure him that similar scenes are even now of frequent occurrence-- and why not?
39163Has he no respect for his parents, who will assuredly be punished for their neglect?"
39163Has such villainy taken place in the land?"
39163He grasped his sabre, saying,"What says the slave?"
39163However, the innkeeper addressing him, rudely said,"How is this, that a mere boy should be without the walls at this hour?
39163Is it possible that the Emperor Yong- Li can have left the earth?"
39163Is the Emperor a slave that thou darest so far?''
39163Like magic they kept my sword suspended midway, and I said,''What words are these, thou dog?''
39163Need I tell you that the stranger was no other than Chow?
39163Neither could Nicholas get rid of his puzzle, till Ki said,"Has the name of the colao Ki ever fallen into the ears of the honorable youth?"
39163O master, what would become of us all; what would become of day and night without the sun and moon?"
39163Should he comply?
39163Should he give it to Chow?
39163Should he not appear to them in the despicable light of an eaves- dropper?
39163Surely it must be the cabin of a junk-- but what?--whose?
39163Surely the noble Woo presumes upon his age, for has it not been wisely said that the will of the Emperor is omnipotent?"
39163The stanching of the blood, the cold water, and the movement, revived her, when she exclaimed,"This terrible dream-- where am I?
39163Then bitter were the feelings of Nicholas-- for himself?
39163Thou art indeed laughing at thy mistress, for didst thou not say the traitor was in open rebellion?"
39163What could it mean?
39163What could it mean?
39163What could that mean?
39163What grief can come in such a place of repose?
39163What has this most wise maxim to do with thy case, fellow?"
39163What should he do?
39163What was to be done?
39163What was to be done?
39163What words are these?"
39163Where could he be?
39163Who art thou, thou empty rice tub?"
39163Who is this woman?"
39163Why should one complain that he is not more fortunate than the rest?"
39163Why this clatter at our gates when the tribunal is closed?"
39163Will he aid me?"
39163Will their god aid him in the hour of his troubles?"
39163Would he faithfully serve the stranger who has saved his life?"
39163Would the honorable gaolers get some?
39163Yet surely this is not without cause, for hath it not been asked,''Why hath Heaven placed the Emperor upon the throne, if not to be our parent?''
39163_ Innkeeper._--"Is it not true, O tribute- collecting lord, that but little may be gleaned from an empty purse?"
39163_ Mandarin, angrily._--"Would the vile innkeeper laugh in our face?"
39163_ Mandarin._--"Thou incorrigible dog, where hath been thy industry, that thou hast not sufficient even to pay thy taxes?"
39163did the slave pirate dare to overcome our sea tigers?"
39163does he not know that it is certain death to pass the prohibited wall of the inner palace?"
39163for if thou art not a receiver of stolen things, how camest thou by this kingdom of Fokien?
39163for what reason had they brought him there?
39163of what crime speaks the youth?"
39163of what use is a friend if he will not be serviceable in the hour of need?"
39163replied Nicholas, impatiently; adding,"Hast thou bought the robe?"
39163said Chow, who gazing earnestly in the face of Nicholas, added,"Art thou really a boy or a man of short measure?"
39163said Nicholas; adding,"Is it the will of the princess, to proceed upon her journey?"
39163surely they were not pursued?
39163surely thou art not a Christian, my poor friend, that they should bring thee here?"
39163we are betrayed; what rogue is this?"
39163what dog''s words are these, thou ignorant slave?
39163what means this?
39163what rascality is this?
39163what their names, surnames, and rank?"
39163who art thou, thou terrible man?"
39163would you molest the son of your Emperor, the good prince Yong- Li?"
10321A funny world, ai n''t it?
10321A shadow? 10321 Alone?"
10321And the big characters,she added,"the big characters you tried to hide, are''Kill''and''Burn''?"
10321And the day?
10321And the placard, so finishing, so artistic-- That says?
10321And the theme?
10321And what--the aged voice rose briskly--"what saw you on the waters?"
10321And where did you study?
10321Another,said the girl,"of your heathen stories?"
10321Anything to concern us?
10321Are n''t you coming,called Heywood,"to sit with us awhile?"
10321Are we ready?
10321Are you all excuses, like the others? 10321 Are you dead, then?"
10321Black Dog? 10321 But what can we do?
10321But you are a griffin?
10321Chantel? 10321 Dare what?"
10321Did he mention,said the big padre, presently,"the case against my man, Chok Chung?"
10321Did n''t they just?
10321Did she kill you?
10321Did you catch what she said? 10321 Did you climb into the water- jar, yesterday, before dinner?
10321Dispatches for Rudolph Hackh?
10321Do we play cards,he cried sourly,"or listen to the chatter of senility?"
10321Do you hear, Nesbit?
10321Do you know enough to time a fuse?
10321Do you still think,he answered coldly,"that I would beg off?"
10321Do you?
10321Do? 10321 Do_ you_ dare go to the place I show you, and hide?
10321Dose fellows catch me?
10321Earthquake?
10321Eh, what? 10321 Eng- lish speak I ver''badt,"he whispered; and then with something between gasp and chuckle,"but der_ pak- wa_ goot, no?
10321Escaped? 10321 Extinct?
10321Fair? 10321 Fang?"
10321For the last time,he said:"wo n''t you let me tell him?
10321Goo- moh? 10321 Good?"
10321Heard? 10321 How do you like it, Rudie?"
10321How do you manage all these nice things?
10321How long, Rudie, how long?
10321How many times must I give me orders?
10321How much does he think a man can stand?
10321How shall we know the hour?
10321How''s the fair Bertha?--Mausers all right? 10321 How''s the old forearm I gave you?
10321I am welly? 10321 I do not yet-- Of what?"
10321I mean,Miss Forrester explained, smiling,"it is your first visit to the Far East?"
10321I say, Kneebone, what''s your idea? 10321 I say, what''s the matter one piecee picnic this week?
10321I say,he complained suddenly,"you''re not going to''study the people,''and all that rot?
10321I was naked, and--how ran the lines?
10321I''ll be along, tell her--"Had she better go alone?
10321If I have made my flock a remnant-- aliens-- rejected-- tell me, what shall I do? 10321 Is Hackh there?"
10321Is n''t it just a place to be happy in?
10321Is that not better?
10321Is the water safe?
10321Jolivet''s kids wake you?
10321Life sentence, eh? 10321 Little devil, I always thought-- What''s missing?"
10321Lowdah?
10321Must we take it so very, very hard?
10321My dream, eh, little dog? 10321 No, is she?"
10321No,he cried, with a start:"you have n''t?"
10321Not dead yet, you rascal?
10321Now what does Byron say?
10321Of the world?
10321Oh?
10321Oh?
10321Oh?
10321Old fool and his earnings, eh? 10321 Over where?"
10321Pardon?
10321Pistols? 10321 So you''re there, too, eh?
10321Stores? 10321 Take me-- leave him, if he wo n''t come-- I scolded him-- then the noises came, and we ran--""What boat?"
10321Take only the left half of that word, and what have you?
10321Take,the padre ordered,"this one; left half?"
10321That dingy little procession, do you know, it''s quite theatrical? 10321 The beggar puts one shot every five minutes through the same window.--I wonder what he''s thinking about?
10321The best?
10321The good? 10321 The right half?"
10321The very best friend? 10321 This remains the same, does n''t it, for all our troubles?"
10321To the nunnery?
10321Two swords, that''s all? 10321 Was that true?"
10321Was what true?
10321Well?
10321What are you thinking of?
10321What book did you read?
10321What cannon? 10321 What did we promise?"
10321What do you see there?
10321What do you think of it all?
10321What do you think, Gilly?
10321What have you there for us?
10321What is danger? 10321 What is it?"
10321What is your news?
10321What must I choose?
10321What price sympathy on a pagoda?
10321What shall I say?
10321What ship?
10321What the devil are you firing at?
10321What thing you do?
10321What was all true?
10321What would a chap ever do without''em? 10321 What would you give,"he propounded thickly,"for a hay harvest breeze?"
10321What''s that about Rome?
10321What''s this?
10321What''s up, Captain?
10321What''s up?
10321What''s wrong?
10321What,began Rudolph, suddenly, and his voice trembled,"what is your true opinion?
10321What? 10321 Where should all the rats be coming from?"
10321Where''s he taking your Mausers?
10321White Lotus?
10321Who can tell?
10321Who comes?
10321Who poked fun at me, first and last? 10321 Why have you such a sensual face?"
10321Why is your face so green?
10321Why, I think-- it is-- is it not all now the sense- manifest substance of our duty? 10321 Why, where''s the Mem?"
10321Why,continued the examiner,"do you look so happy?"
10321Will you bite the clouds?
10321Will you speak out and live,cried the swordsman,"or will you die?"
10321Without saying good- by?
10321Yes?
10321You have killed him?
10321You old Sly- boots!--But are you sure? 10321 You see at the phosphor, not?"
10321You speak English, I''m sure, do n''t you?
10321You were saying?
10321You''ve never seen it, Mr. Hackh? 10321 You?"
10321''Nisi damnose bibimus,''--forget how it runs:''Drink hearty, or you''ll die without getting your revenge,''""You are then a university''s- man?"
10321''_ Das versinnlichte Material unserer Pflicht_''No?"
10321--Satirical and debonair, he shrugged his shoulders.--"What use, among these thousands of yellow pigs?"
10321--The little old reader had quietly disappeared, leaving them a vacant table.--"Isn''t he weird?"
10321After a pause, he added soberly:--"Images?
10321All zo many shoots,_ kugel_, der bullet,--''_gilt''s mir, oder gilt es dir?_''Men are dead in der Silk- Weafer Street.
10321And by the way, did you make that inventory of provisions?"
10321And come join me in a peg at the club?
10321And did my cook arrive to help yours?"
10321Are the rest coming?
10321Are they?"
10321Are_ you_ married to these people?
10321At last he regained himself, stood quiet, and added very pointedly,"What did_ yow_ lern?"
10321Boats?
10321Bring any new songs out?
10321But was she?
10321But what can you have brought back?
10321But what?"
10321But why come here?
10321But will that stop him?
10321CHAPTER XII THE WAR BOARD"Rigmarole?"
10321Cadging for chow, does one acquire merit?"
10321Can I truly be proud of-- of her?"
10321Can we, now?
10321Come see us, when we''re not so busy?
10321Desert''em?
10321Did you find them?
10321Do n''t you think you have a better?"
10321Do you dare?"
10321Do you hear?
10321Do you know,"his voice rose and quickened,"do you know, the other end of town is in an uproar?
10321Does the knowledge come so cheap, or at a price?
10321Duels?
10321Eh, Heywood?"
10321Eh, what?
10321Eh, what?
10321Eh?
10321Eh?
10321Eh?
10321Eh?"
10321Equal to hauling a sack out?
10321Extinct?
10321Fang, the Sword- Pen, in great favor up there.--What?
10321Fixed ideas, eh?
10321Fixed ideas, eh?
10321For some time again they stood as though listening, till Heywood spoke:--"Holding your own, are you, by the water gate?"
10321Forrester?"
10321Going to stay long?"
10321Hackh?"
10321Have n''t you-- a better friend?"
10321He clapped Rudolph on the arm, and crowed:--"Nunnery?
10321He drained his whiskey and soda, signaled for more, and added:"Were you ever cooped up, yachting, with a chap you detested?
10321He hailed them in a dry voice, and cleared his throat,"Where is she?
10321He snapped the empty shells from his gun, and blew into the breech, before adding,"Would_ you_ mind, then?
10321He stepped lightly across the landing, and called out,"You chaps make yourselves at home, will you?
10321Heywood laughed, and turned his head:--"How much do you know about sieges, old chap?"
10321How ran the verse?
10321I lern moch.--But iss Rome yet a fortify town?"
10321I mean, we ca n''t carry these long faces to the club, can we?
10321I would say-- picturesque, no?"
10321I''ve kept the guns oiled, and will warrant the lot sound.--Now, who''ll lend me spare coolies, and stuff for sand- bags?"
10321In a daze, Rudolph gripped the wet and shining hands, and heard the same quiet voice:"Rest all asleep, I suppose?
10321In the hoary peace of twilight,--"What can_ we_ do here?"
10321Is it?"
10321Is n''t that-- what I call-- being invulnerable?
10321Let you go?
10321Look here"--He held up a tin and scanned the label triumphantly:"Chow de Bruxelles, what?
10321Man,"he cried, in a voice that made Rudolph jump,--"man, why did n''t you stop him?
10321Meantime, you chaps must lend coolies, eh?
10321Meantime,--what do you say, Doctor?--chloride of lime in pots?"
10321Mrs. Forrester?
10321Never saw chow spelt with an''x''before, did ye?
10321Next instant he whirled on Rudolph in fury.--"Is this a game, or Idiot''s Joy?"
10321Nothing else to do, is there?"
10321Now please, wo n''t you listen to my advice?
10321O heh!--O ha?
10321One leg at a time?"
10321Or do you dare?"
10321Phew!--Oh, I say, what did they mean?
10321Pink Pagoda, eh?
10321Poor chap, he''ll never ask you to return them.--Anything else?"
10321Rather neat, what?
10321Rudie: are you game for something rather foolhardy?
10321Rudie?
10321See those bead eyes watching us, eh?
10321She moved away, carrying her medicines, but paused in the door, smiled back at him as from a crypt, and said:--"Have_ you_ been hurt?"
10321She''s resting.--I hope we''ve not delayed the concert?"
10321Shot- guns?
10321Sniping all night, will it be?--or shall we get a fair chance at''em?"
10321Some are marked for you, and the rest-- will you send them Home, please?"
10321Still, what had he expected?
10321Sturgeon, Teppich, Padre, Captain?
10321Such a nasty little-- Why did-- What do you propose doing with it?"
10321The joke is now on the merchant, eh?"
10321The merchant?"
10321The voice, level and ironic, was that of Fang, the Sword- Pen:--"O Fragrant Ones, when shall the foreign monsters perish like this cock?"
10321Then your name''s-- what is it again?--Hackh, is n''t it?
10321They kept asking,''Do you follow the foreign dogs and goats?''
10321Think I carry ships in my pocket?"
10321Think you these things are but still to come?
10321Thorough, rather?
10321To- morrow will do.--Have you any money on you?
10321Tough as ever?
10321Was there a German mail- boat?
10321Was there a club, from which he had stolen out while she wept, ignominiously, in that girl''s arms?
10321We''ll just make it a holiday, catchee good time.--What?
10321What Black Dog is to bark?"
10321What can we do here?"
10321What could he know, this airy, unfeeling meddler, so free with his advice and innuendo?
10321What did I come so many hundred miles for?
10321What did you do then?"
10321What had loosed the bond, swept away all the effects?
10321What have we?
10321What is it?"
10321What presence could lurk there?
10321What price fixed ideas now?"
10321What shall I do?"
10321What was the use now, he thought indignantly, of all their watching and fighting?
10321What''s your plan?"
10321What?"
10321What?"
10321When dey shoot him off?"
10321When you did-- that, for me, yesterday, did n''t it seem different and rather splendid, and-- like a book?"
10321Where the devil does Maurice Heywood live?"
10321Where''s Bertha Forrester?"
10321Where''s my cap?"
10321Where''s my wife?"
10321Whim?
10321Who always came out aboard to tell me what an old ass I was?
10321Who was Christian?
10321Who''d have thought?
10321Who''s afraid?
10321Why Must life bear all away, Away, away, Ah, my beloved, why?"
10321Why did you ever let me come back?
10321Why not stay, and learn more?"
10321Wish I carried some money: this chit system is damnable.--Meanwhile, doctor, wo n''t you forget anything I was rude enough to say?
10321With a stick and a handkerchief, he twisted on a tourniquet, muttering condolence:"Pain much?
10321Wo n''t you?
10321Would that answer, he wondered, be a month, a week, to- morrow?
10321You and I are just--"She broke off, humming:--"Only here and now?
10321You can''t-- What did you mean?"
10321You did n''t say, but-- She made no attempt to come here?
10321You do n''t care?
10321You do n''t speak the language?
10321You know this sign?"
10321You were joking?
10321You''ll find the dipper more handy.--How did you ever manage?
10321he scolded, as though addressing a horse; then growled in Heywood''s ear,"Why did_ you_ go lose your temper?"
10321it''s you, is it?
18674A charm, eh? 18674 Ah,"he said, looking the great cat straight in the eye,"you have come to eat me, have you?
18674All right, father, I''ll do what you tell me; but suppose the foreign soldiers should come while you are gone? 18674 Am I not your master, you mad creature?"
18674Am I to be changed into a bird?
18674And I shall never again have to beg for crusts on the street?
18674And are you sure of this wondrous beauty you describe so prettily?
18674And has this gracious goddess brought sunshine into your life, my pretty one?
18674And is it far?
18674And there were only fourteen then?
18674And what did they do with the mule he was riding, his bed, and the money in his bag? 18674 And when, most august King, would you have me decide?"
18674And where are you going, Lu- san, now that you have left your father? 18674 And where do you live?"
18674And yet, nephew, you think this fellow is really peaceably inclined and is not coming among us as a spy?
18674Are n''t you afraid of Blackfoot?
18674Are n''t you even going to give him a scolding?
18674Are there not moments when you would prefer to be a man?
18674Are you mad from hunger, or have you caught another flea?
18674Are you quite sure there was not some friend of the miser''s spending the night with him?
18674Are you speaking of Su- nan?
18674But did n''t he live here, too?
18674But did n''t it kill me?
18674But did you count them again last night?
18674But how can_ I_ help to punish the Emperor?
18674But how shall you get the tablet off your back?
18674But what about you, my boy? 18674 But what am I to do?"
18674But when was it, little one, that they did this?
18674But, father,persisted the boy,"have n''t you forgotten?
18674But, mother, what has this brass bauble to do with the dumplings, these wonderful pork dumplings, the finest I ever ate?
18674But, woman, are you mad?
18674Ca n''t be found? 18674 Can a carpenter make shoes?"
18674Can you think of nothing else?
18674Ch''ang,he asked,"what was it you called your guest when you spoke of her a minute ago?"
18674Count you?
18674Did you not find the fruit we told you about?
18674Did you not know it? 18674 Did you not say it was a tiger that killed your son?
18674Do n''t want me to go, eh? 18674 Do n''t you see me swimming?
18674Do you indeed?
18674Do you not know me, father? 18674 Do you remember me?"
18674Does he have a fire in cold weather?
18674Doing about it, sir? 18674 First of all, are you willing to help me bring good fortune back to our family?"
18674First tell me what good fairy of a rich man has been filling our hands with silver?
18674Forgive me, kind sir, but what have you done to my master?
18674Going? 18674 Have you come here to laugh at our misfortunes?"
18674Have you suffered many a cruel pain since you were snatched away so suddenly? 18674 Help to devour myself, eh?"
18674How long?
18674How many have you?
18674I know you are telling the truth,wailed Wang,"but how, oh, how can I ever work with all these feathers sticking out of me?
18674I wonder if I dare?
18674I? 18674 If he asks even a peach, how can you refuse and at the same time save your face?"
18674Is he nothing but a cry- baby?
18674Is that true?
18674It takes me back to my boyhood,he cried,"why, oh why, is it not the fashion to swim?
18674Just a little business for the mandarin, is n''t it? 18674 Kwan- yin,"he continued,"do you wish to pass by the green spring of youth, to give up this mighty kingdom?
18674May I try it now?
18674Now what is the silly boy blubbering about?
18674Now, old woman, are you satisfied?
18674Now, what do you propose doing about it?
18674Oh, can you not, good fairy, will you not restore my parents and brothers, and give them another chance to be good and useful people?
18674Oh, that was it, hey? 18674 Oh, who has brought this woe upon us?"
18674So I am the tiger- forest, am I?
18674Then he is your husband?
18674Then, are you indeed contented with your lot?
18674Tiger,said he, turning toward the prisoner,"did you eat the woodman whom you are charged with killing?"
18674Well, that''s rather strange for a miser, do n''t you think?
18674Well, what''s your business, friend Wang? 18674 Well, you did n''t forget me, did you?"
18674What am I doing now?
18674What are they? 18674 What are you doing in my bedroom and who is this child who seems so frightened?"
18674What are you doing, Daddy?
18674What can those queer- looking papers be?
18674What do they care for a man when he is sick?
18674What do you know about success and failure? 18674 What do you mean, fellow?"
18674What do you mean?
18674What do you suggest?
18674What does this mean?
18674What have we to gain by deceit, we who have performed our miracles before the countless hosts of yonder Western Heaven?
18674What is a sin, Daddy?
18674What is it, father? 18674 What is the matter, old woman?
18674What killed you, foolish boy? 18674 What kind of bird is that yonder in the sky?"
18674What shall we command them to do?
18674What time do you suppose I have for Classics? 18674 What trick is this you have played on me, masters?
18674What use, what use? 18674 What will he say if he finds us here?"
18674What''s the matter? 18674 What, masters, a peach?"
18674What,shouted the other,"you say I am still young?"
18674Whatever is the matter with you?
18674When will it be finished?
18674Where am I?
18674Where are we?
18674Where are you going?
18674Where is the beginning of the world?
18674Who can be knocking in that fashion?
18674Who has done this great evil? 18674 Who knows a man by what he wears, By what he says or by his prayers?
18674Whom have you here, my lad?
18674Why did n''t you say something about it before?
18674Why did you laugh? 18674 Why do n''t you flee the country?"
18674Why do they have a turtle? 18674 Why is it that the gods have not given me a taste of duck during the past year?
18674Why not borrow Mrs. Wang''s charm for a few days until we can pick up a little flesh to keep our bones from clattering? 18674 Why not, boy?
18674Why, surely you ca n''t help me to earn a living?
18674Why, what''s the matter? 18674 Why, you old goose, do n''t you know what a fairy is?"
18674Will it be the largest in the world?
18674Yes, but in what a shape?
18674You remember the day Mr. and Mrs. Chu were here, and how Mrs. Chu returned in the afternoon after master and mistress had gone to the fair? 18674 You would, eh?"
18674You?
18674''What do I care for a spirit that lives on my father''s land?''
18674A duck''s a duck, is n''t it, and surely you would like to know how you lost it?"
18674After all, what was a hook to a fish when he was dying?
18674And Kwan- yu-- what of Kwan- yu, the frantic father?
18674And besides, would not all the other villagers be hungry, too?
18674And is not every lad in China taught to honour his ancestors?
18674And what could he do if he did find you?
18674And why not?
18674Are not the daughters of our nation often wedded long before they reach that age?
18674Are not the wise men always saying that study brings its own reward?
18674Are those big eyes of yours made of glass?"
18674Are you ill?"
18674Are you never coming to the hero of this tale?"
18674Are you not afraid to be alone here at night on the bank of this great river?"
18674Are you ready?"
18674As a cannon- maker you are successful, but who can say about the other task?
18674As she hobbled from the room, she cast sour glances at the judge, muttering over and over again,"Who ever heard of a tiger taking the place of a son?
18674As you have n''t a sign of a scale, how will people judge you?
18674As you look back through your wicked lives can you think of any reason why you deserved this rescue?
18674But surely you would not have a labourer do more than his employer requires?
18674But we must hurry on with our story, or some of our readers will be asking,"But where is Dr. Dog?
18674But what will become of the real me?
18674But, here we are, and that is enough, is n''t it, enough for any one?
18674Ca n''t you recognise your old friend?
18674Can it be that you do not know my rank?
18674Ch''ang was staring at her with wide- open frightened eyes that seemed to be asking,"What can it all mean?
18674Could he have heard correctly?
18674Could his eyes be deceiving him?
18674Could it be possible that they would soon be living in it?
18674Could it be that the turtle would carry him beyond the forest?
18674Could it really be that the old family property would be given back to his father?
18674Could the priest have told the truth?
18674Did his ears deceive him?
18674Did they try to restore them to his people?"
18674Did you not say that you came from the land of dreams?
18674Do n''t you know it is the custom now to put prisoners on their honour?
18674Do n''t you know this is not the proper place for you?"
18674Do n''t you know what the Classics say about such rudeness?"
18674Do n''t you wish it was yours?''
18674Do you know where she hides it?"
18674Do you not know that when she cries the gods themselves are weeping?''"
18674Do you remember now, my child?"
18674Do you think it possible that he could change me in some manner into a fish and accept me as a subject?"
18674Do you think it would be convenient if you had to flop yourself out on to the land every time you wanted a bite to eat?
18674Do you think them suitable to protect you from cold and sickness?
18674Do you wish to enter the doors of a convent where women say farewell to life and all its pleasures?
18674For what strange reason, however, did the gods write this beggar''s name on the stone?"
18674Had Wang discovered the absence of his employer?
18674Had he been dreaming?
18674Has old Black Heart been beating you?"
18674Has your life been filled with sorrow?"
18674Have you not been whipped and punished all your life?
18674Have you nothing new with which to regale my guests on this holiday?"
18674How can a tiger be brought to justice?
18674How can they afford such eating?"
18674How can you say so?
18674How could he say it was my fault?"
18674How then did you learn to look with love at those in tears?"
18674How to get something to eat?
18674Hurt a neighbour''s feelings just for a duck?
18674I will bring it to you in a jiffy, but how shall we exist when our charm is gone?
18674If they should come here, what must I do?"
18674Is it strange that they did not have hearts full of pity for you when you looked like a beggar?"
18674Is that the moon rising over yonder?
18674Is there not one little deed of goodness that was not selfish?
18674Is this an age when old men are good for nothing?"
18674May n''t we keep our sins a little longer?"
18674My darling daughter, where have you been all these years?"
18674No matter if the dragon does think he can fly faster, I beat him, did n''t I?
18674Of course, K''ang- p''u promised, for he was always obedient; and was not this little man who spoke so strangely, the spirit of his grandfather?
18674Oh, how can he cross over?"
18674See the point, eh?
18674Shall I have to be a fox and look like you?"
18674Should he sell his last outer garment for a few pennies and buy millet for her?
18674Surely you would n''t wish them to burn your father''s tablet?"
18674The greybeard bent over until his mouth was at Ying- lo''s ear:"Did you ever see me before?"
18674Then, as the fever began to rise again, he sprang up with a determined cry,"What am I waiting for?
18674There are talking birds and talking beasts for that matter; but talking fish, who ever heard of such a wonder?
18674To cure my daughter?"
18674True, he had been able to produce the magic peach which the mandarin had called for, but his son, where was his son?
18674Was that a servant calling?
18674Were all his hopes to be suddenly dashed by the failure of the metals to mix and harden properly?
18674Were the gods, in answer to his prayer, sending fire to burn the vessel?
18674Were your mistress''s ancestors followers of the sage?"
18674What are you doing inside the temple in the dirt?
18674What can you be talking about?
18674What could have taken place while he was sleeping?
18674What do you know about water?
18674What do you say to going with me then?
18674What do you think of that for honour, Sir Rat?
18674What does he care if I die of a raging fever?
18674What does he care if I pass away?
18674What have I done to be thus denied?"
18674What is the world coming to?"
18674What is to prevent my getting my freedom this very night?
18674What kind of food is your master eating now, that you should be so round and plump when I am thin and scrawny?"
18674What must I do to save my family?
18674What power is it that has saved you from his clutches?
18674What reason have you for wanting to see me weighed down here all the rest of my life with a mountain on my back?
18674What say you, will you accept my offer?"
18674What wonderful discovery have you made-- that every rat has one tail?"
18674What would you do if you really lived here always?"
18674What would you do to keep yourself from starving?
18674When heaven itself has commanded, what can even a princess do but listen to that power which rules the earth?"
18674When others work, why do you lie down and sleep your time away?
18674When would you find them away from home, now that they do n''t have to work any more?
18674Where did you learn so much?"
18674Where should you think I would want to go after my century in prison?
18674Where was he going, and what should he do?
18674Who knows but that they have sent this flock thinking I would have sense enough to grab one?
18674Who now will look after my grave when I am gone?"
18674Who will take care of me in my old age?
18674Why be a coward?
18674Why did you come to see me at all if you thought I did not know you were guilty?"
18674Why do n''t you get up and shake your lazy legs?
18674Why do you make a poor man like me run his legs off for nothing on a hot day?"
18674Why do you raise such an uproar in front of my yamen?
18674Why do you speak of it?"
18674Why have the gods treated me in this cruel way?"
18674Why is it that other people have all the luck?
18674Why is it that to- day you try to get out of your promise?
18674Why not a lion or an elephant?"
18674Why not order her father to bring her to the palace that you may we d her and place her in your royal dwelling?"
18674Why not tell him that old Sen stole his duck, and get him to give Sen a scolding?
18674Why, are you not eighteen?
18674Wo n''t they save you the trouble of wearing clothing?"
18674Would he sound the alarm, and would the whole place soon be alive with men searching for the fever- stricken patient?
18674Would his father come and find out what had happened?
18674Would that not be quite contrary to the teachings of our fathers?
18674Would those three minutes never pass?
18674You are a pretty fellow to be complaining, are n''t you?"
18674You are the same fellow that carried off the woodman last month, are n''t you?
18674You remember all our big dinners that came from the pot?
18674_ your_ father helped make the world?"
18674and all over your body?
18674but did n''t I do a great trick?
18674do n''t you count your old grand- daddy?
18674looking for you in the ashes?
18674losing a duck?
18674said the dog angrily,"what did I tell you?
18674said the small man, laughing,"so you thought you''d bury your old grandfather in feathers, did you?
18674shall you leave us?"
18674she cried,"of what use is it to live?
18674so it''s because I make you a good playmate, eh?
18674they laughed;"do you know what you have done?"
18674what ever shall we do?"
18674what honour has a rat?"
18674what''s that?"
18674what''s the matter, man?"
18674why do n''t you let me out?
18674why had he not asked the friendly nephew a few simple questions?
18674would you hesitate between love upon a throne and death?
18674would you lay your wicked hands on one who made the tears of Kwan- yin flow?
18674you think old Sen is a thief, do you, and that he has been stealing from me?"

5173Who are you,demanded the Fifth Patriarch,"and whence have you come?"
5173Who can hear them?
5173Who is the master of the temple?
5173Why, then, do I not hear them?
5173[ FN#262] Who could cheer him up who abandons himself to self- created misery? 5173 [ FN#37]"I know, your reverence,"said the man,"that you belong to Samgha; but what are Buddha and Dharma?"
5173''Are these sages alive?''
5173''How should you, a wheelwright, have anything to say about the book which I am reading?
5173''O monk,''demanded the man, as Boku- den was clad like a Zen monk,''what school of swordsmanship do you belong to?''

5173''What is life and death?''
5173''What is the real nature of mind?''
5173''What is the spirit of Bodhidharma?''
5173''Where is my visitor, where my dear monk?''
5173''Why not,''he might have thought within himself,''why all this is futile?
5173''Why, you might go to the master and ask him what is the essence of Buddhism?''
5173''Why,''said the teacher,''art thou so late?''

5173Are we not endowed with inner force to fight successfully against obstacles and difficulties, and to wrest trophies of glory from hardships?
5173Are we to be slaves to the vicissitudes of fortune?
5173But are your beliefs, we should ask, based on historical fact?
5173But as soon as they withdraw into themselves and ask themselves,''Am I now happy?''
5173But is there inner life expressed, or possible to be expressed, in any other form save physical organism?

5173Can you realize that death, which you have yet no immediate experience of, is the greatest of evil?
5173Can you recognize something awe- inspiring in the rise and fall of nations?
5173Can you say that such traditional and self- contradictory records as the four gospels are history in the strict sense of the term?
5173Can you thus prove that you- in- yourself exist beyond or behind you?
5173Confucius replied:''What words are these?
5173Could there be any meat that is not fresh in my shop?''
5173Do n''t you see?"
5173Do they denote or connote anything?
5173Do you bear the trumpet call?
5173Do you feel the earth tremble?
5173Do you not need to mitigate the struggle for existence more sanguine than the war of weapons?
5173Do you not shed tears over those hunger- bitten children who cower in the dark lanes of a great city?
5173Do you not sympathize with poverty- stricken millions living side by side with millionaires saturated with wealth?

5173Does He not surprise us with novelties, extraordinaries, and mysteries?
5173Does not even a stone tell the mystery of Life?

5173For whose sake should he take life,[FN#350] or commit theft, or give alms, or keep precepts?

5173How, then, does Alaya give rise to them through transformation?
5173How, then, is life sustained there and kept up in continuous birth after birth?
5173Hwui Chung( Ye- chu), a famous disciple of the Sixth Patriarch in China, to quote an example, one day asked a monk:"Where did you come from?"
5173If it be said that it is the mind that produces Karma( I ask), what is the mind?

5173If there be no way of escape, why do you trouble yourself about it?
5173If this assertion be true, is it not a useless task to educate man with the purpose of making him better and nobler?
5173If vices be congenial and true to man''s nature, but virtues be alien and untrue to him, why are virtues honoured by him?
5173If vices be genuine and virtue a deception, as you think, why do you call the inventors of that deceiving art sages?
5173If you contend that good is man''s primary nature and evil the secondary one, why is be so often overpowered by the secondary nature?
5173If you could conquer the enemy without fighting, what then is your sword for?''
5173If, again, man''s nature is essentially bad, as Siun Tsz holds, how can he cultivate virtue?
5173In short, why are so many destined to be unlucky and so few to be lucky?
5173In such a world as this, what is the use of the enjoyment of pleasures, if he who has fed on them is to return to this world again and again?
5173Is he himself not one of the holy men?''
5173Is it bright?
5173Is it conscious?
5173Is it empty?
5173Is it intelligent?
5173Is it non- intelligent?
5173Is it not a fact that the more virtuous one grows the more sinful he feels himself?
5173Is it not best for it to do so?
5173Is it not just one moment from the nuptial song to the funeral- dirge?
5173Is it not just one step from rosy childhood to snowy age?
5173Is it not mere tautology?
5173Is the doomsday coming instead?
5173Is there any example of an individual object that escaped the government of that law in the whole history of the world?

5173Li Ngao( Ri- ko) one day asked Yoh Shan( Yaku- san):"What is the way to truth?"
5173Might I ask you, sir, to pacify my mind?"
5173Nothing exists from the first What can be dimmed by dust and dirt?"
5173Now ask yourself what is you- in- yourself?
5173Now if I, being born among men, know not whence I came( into this life), how could I know whither I am going in the after- life?
5173Now the question arises, If all human beings are endowed with Buddha- nature, why have they not come naturally to be Enlightened?
5173Now, then, what is the use of our life, if it stand still?
5173Now, then, who can point out any sinless person in the present world?
5173Of what use( then) are the teachings of Lao Tsz and Chwang Tsz?
5173One day she instructed a young girl to embrace and ask him:"How do you feel now?"
5173Or did you do so, in the service of a perishing state, by the punishment of an axe?
5173Or was it that you had completed your term of life?''
5173Or was it through your evil conduct, reflecting disgrace on your parents and on your wife and children?
5173Or was it through your hard endurances of cold and hunger?
5173Ordinary people know not even the phenomena actually occurring before them; how could they understand the unseen?
5173Pao Chi( Ho- shi), a Buddhist tutor to the Emperor, asked the perplexed monarch:"Does your Lordship understand him?"
5173Perhaps he might have thought:''Why is nothing holy?
5173Providence, salvation, and divine grace-- what are they?
5173Say, one and all, how do you understand the Law?"
5173Shall we perish in the darkness of scepticism, shutting our eyes to the light of Tathagata?
5173Shall we say, then, that the shape of the nail gave the shape of the coat, or in any way corresponds to it?
5173Shall we starve ourselves refusing to accept the rich bounty which the Blessed Life offers to us?
5173Shall we suffer from innumerable pains in the self- created hell where remorse, jealousy, and hatred feed the fire of anger?
5173So why do they not see and hear and thus produce Karma?
5173Such is the clearness of still water, and how much greater is that of the human spirit?
5173Tapping it with his horse- switch, he asked it saying:''Did you, sir, in your greed of life, fail in the lessons of reason and come to this?
5173The elder said:''Have you ever approached the master and asked his instruction in Buddhism?''
5173Then Tung Shan went round the chair, taking the officer with him, and making a bow again to the officer, asked:"Do you see what I mean?"
5173Then an attendant of his asked"What is the matter?"
5173Then the monk bowed politely to the teacher, who questioned:"How did you understand me?"
5173Then, turning to another monk, inquired:"How did you understand me?"
5173Thus thinking, he inquired:"What is the holy truth, or the first principle?"
5173To the question,"What and who is Buddha?"
5173Tung Shan( To- Zan) was on one occasion attending on his teacher Yun Yen( Un- gan), who asked:"What are your supernatural powers?"
5173Was it not typical of a so- called great man of the world?
5173Was not Jesus also a criminal?
5173Was not Socrates a criminal?
5173Was the golden age of man, then, over in the remote past?
5173We have to ask, in what respects does the interrelation between mind and body resemble the relation between a coat and a nail?
5173Were we born eyeless, should we not be happy, as we are in no danger of suffering from eye disease?

5173What is the reason of all this?
5173What is the use of your endeavour in the reformation of society, which does not endure any longer than the castle in the air?
5173What is the use of your exertion, they would say, in accumulating wealth, which is doomed to melt away in the twinkling of an eye?
5173What is the use of your striving after power, which is more short- lived than a bubble?
5173What you hold as duty may I not condemn as sin?
5173What you honour may I not denounce as disgrace?
5173What, then, are the spirits of the dead( which they believe in)?
5173What, then, is the chief agent that produces Karma?
5173What, then, is the use of your worship?"
5173When that monk came down and approached him with a respectful salutation, he asked:''Where art thou from?
5173Where do you go when your body is reduced to elements?
5173Where does the Root of the Illusion Lie?
5173Where does the Root of the Illusion Lie?
5173Where does the real nature of mind exist?
5173Where, then, does the Error Lie?
5173Where, then, does the Error Lie?
5173Where, then, does the error lie in the four possible propositions respecting man''s nature?
5173Who can deny furthermore that Wang''s philosophy is Zen in the Confucian terminology?
5173Who can deny that one''s physical conditions determine one''s character or personality?

5173Who could prevent you from enjoying moral food, unless you yourself refuse to eat?
5173Who could put fetters on your mind but your mind itself?
5173Who could save him who denies his own salvation?
5173Who is that other person?"
5173Who, then, after the destruction of body by death, would receive the retribution( in the form) of pain or of pleasure?
5173Why are trees and grass which were also formed of the same Gas unconscious?
5173Why did Lao Tsz, Chwang Tsz, Cheu Kung[FN#304] and Confucius do such a useless task as to found their doctrines and lay down the precepts for men?
5173Why do the sun and the earth seem changeless and constant to you?
5173Why do we prefer an animal life, which passes away in a few scores of years, to a vegetable life, which can exist thousands of years?
5173Why do we prize changing organism more than inorganic matter, unchanging and constant?
5173Why do we value the morning glory, which fades in a few hours, more than an artificial glass flower, which endures hundreds of years?
5173Why do you bother yourself about such an idle question?
5173Why do you not preach?"
5173Why do you waste your energy in the construction of the Three Worlds?
5173Why does it wait for some direct or indirect causes( to gain its knowledge), and to acquire them through study and instruction?
5173Why not, then, these trees, grass, etc., the alphabets of Nature when they compose the Volume of the Universe?
5173Why so many to be low and so few to be high?
5173Why, then, do you trouble yourself about it?
5173Why, we must ask, do you trouble yourself so much about death?
5173Would you know where He is?
5173Would you like to hear me, sir, tell you about death?''
5173Yoh Shan, pointing to the sky and then to the pitcher beside him, said:"You see?"
5173[ FN#261]"Who ties you up?"
5173[ FN#407] Ratnakuta- sutra(?
5173what does it avail you to come and go all the time like this?''
23493''Ave a cup of tea, ladies?
23493A notticle mile, Aileen; what is that?
23493Ah, I see he has.--Well, Rooney lad, are you prepared to go down?
23493Ah, sur, may n''t I give him a farewell kick?
23493Ah, then you are not bigotedly attached to that of your employer-- like some of your fraternity with whom I have conversed?
23493Ah, you want to see my son- in- law? 23493 All right?"
23493All right?
23493All right?
23493Am I to kiss_ all_ the divers we shall have to do with before sending them down?
23493An''what does he do,asked Rooney, with an anxious expression,"whin they give him too little?"
23493An''why do n''t you stick to that?
23493And Mr Baldwin''s partner-- if I understand you correctly?
23493And tarantulas?
23493And the debts, papa, which you told me once were so heavy, do you mean to pay them all?
23493And tortoises?
23493And will you go with me, Susan?
23493Any sign of treasure?
23493Are there any more pirate- junks hereabouts?
23493Are these the pirates?
23493Are you asleep, Laura?
23493Are you deranged, child?
23493Are you ready?
23493Are you ready?
23493Are you ready?
23493Are you sure,said Baldwin, with a look of great solemnity,"that your going to London has nothing whatever to do with apparatus of_ that_ sort?"
23493At Sea Cottage-- who lives there?
23493But what about the bad- smellin''job he''s got on hand just now?
23493But what if he forgits, or misremimbers the signal?
23493But what_ is_ making haste?
23493But where''ll we putt it, sir?
23493But why a breath at the surface?
23493By all means,said Aileen, with a smile;"why does he want them?"
23493By the way, have you seen Miss Aileen since you came home?
23493Can none of you pick him off?
23493Can you keep a secret, Baldwin, and give advice to a fellow who stands sorely in need of it?
23493Can you spare a minute?
23493Come here, policeman,said the captain to the native functionary;"how far above this, did you say, is the nest of the vipers?"
23493D''you think you could read by the light of your lamp?
23493Darling Aileen,said Miss Pritty, recovering from a paroxysm,"did you ever hear of any one dying of sea- sickness?"
23493Darling, how_ can_ we sleep among tortoises, tarantulas, and serpents?
23493Did Rooney never tell ye about the Spanish Armada?
23493Did n''t ye see, I lost me howld? 23493 Did she not expect me?"
23493Did she, indeed? 23493 Did you mean that?"
23493Do you think such mystery undesirable?
23493Does a diver named Baldwin live here?
23493Does anybody know how many of a crew we have altogether?
23493Eight thousand-- eh?
23493Goin''down, sir?
23493Gone,repeated Aileen, rather sharply;"of course he is, and if he were not, what then?
23493Good,said the captain;"are your dresses and apparatus at hand?"
23493Has Machowl come on board yet?
23493Has he gone to London with her?
23493Haul''i m up-- no, why?
23493Have ye got the hole finished, Maxwell?
23493Have you ever seen anything of this sort before?
23493Have you many friends there?
23493Have you seen my father?
23493Have you signalled down?
23493Have you spoken to him about raising the hull of the ship?
23493Have you the receipt made out?
23493Have you treasure on board?
23493How comes it that you enter my house and drawing- room without being announced?
23493How comes it,replied the Malay,"that the sea- mew flies far from home?
23493How could I hinder you, Joe?
23493How d''ee git on down there?
23493How did it happen?
23493How is he to breathe?
23493How much rent does he owe you?
23493How? 23493 I might answer,` What is that to you?''
23493Is Miss Pritty at home, child?
23493Is Miss Pritty at home?
23493Is Miss Pritty at''ome?
23493Is he gone?
23493Is it not?
23493Is it?
23493Is n''t the air sent down fresh enough?
23493Is that possible?
23493Is there not a risk,whispered Aileen to her father,"that the same accident may happen again?"
23493Is this right, Mr Timms?
23493Is this the first time you have thought so?
23493Is your master at home, my dear?
23493It feels quite like old times, sir, do n''t it?
23493Know her? 23493 Laura, dear,"said Aileen,"did you hear what the captain said to some one just now in the cabin, when the door was open?"
23493Like it? 23493 Listen; do you hear no sound?"
23493May n''t I show him out, sur?
23493Mean what?
23493Might it not be something of the kind?
23493Missus said so, an''she bid me ask you if you''d like a cup of tea?
23493Mr Hazlit,said Edgar,"will you walk with me to the stern of the vessel?
23493Naughty man, why did he detain you?
23493Nay, my friend, be not so hasty,said Moses;"what do you ask for them?"
23493Now, David, are you all right?
23493Now, Joe, are ye aisy?
23493Of a very particular friend?
23493Of course I am-- don''t you see me?
23493Of course, of course, but_ how_? 23493 Oh, sir,"she said,"would you like a cup of tea?"
23493Or that noo helmet wi''the speakin''-toobe made by Denayrouze and Company, an''this dress made by the same?
23493Please, ma''am,said the domestic with a broad smile, as she took the basket of vegetables,"would you like a cup of tea?"
23493Please, sir,''e would n''t''ave a cup of tea, sir,she replied meekly, then, with a gleam of hope in her eyes--"Will_ you_''ave one, sir?"
23493Possible? 23493 Secure him with ropes, then,"returned the captain;--"where is Mr Berrington?"
23493So, sir, it seems that you''ve set your heart on learning something of everything?
23493Sugar, Eddy? 23493 Sure ai n''t that the very raison I tell ye always at laste twice as much as I know?"
23493Sure our fortins is made already,said Rooney;"how much d''ee think we''ve fished up, Mr Berrington?"
23493Sure, sur, that ca n''t be it, for if he''d lost his pegs would n''t they have comed up an''floated?
23493That you would n''t like to''ave a cup of tea?
23493That''s a pity,returned Aileen, with a little frown of perplexity;"I am also much in want of a cook-- do you know of one?"
23493That-- that I think I may trust you; in short, Baldwin, I''m over head and ears with a young girl, and-- and--"An''your love ai n''t requited-- eh?
23493The native policeman has told me all about your friends-- I understand them to be such?
23493Then you''ve fairly hauled down the enemy''s colours and hoisted those of the Lord?
23493They''ve got lots of captives aboard, I suppose?
23493Was any one wounded-- k- killed?
23493Was you bred to any trade?
23493We are not far from the coast of China, are we?
23493We should be rather badly off without tea, and silk, and spices, and such things-- should n''t we?
23493Well now, Mr Berrington, what say you?
23493Well, as you are now ere, pray what have you got to say to me?
23493Well, aunt,said Edgar Berrington, with a hearty smile, as he extended his hand,"you are surprised to see me?"
23493Well, my lady, has your ladyship any orders?
23493Well, then,continued her father,"what, in these circumstances, says common sense?"
23493Well,said Pungarin, abruptly,"I have nothing more to say, except, what will you give for these things?"
23493Well?
23493What d''ee intind to turn your hand to if you give up divin'', Joe?
23493What d''you mean, girl?
23493What did the boy mean?
23493What do you mean, sir?
23493What does he reply?
23493What happened to him?
23493What have you got there, sir?
23493What if your friend should not be at home?
23493What is_ he_?
23493What now, Joe?
23493What now, boy?
23493What o''that?
23493What on earth are you about down there?
23493What shall we do?
23493What she''s like-- eh?
23493What would happen if it broke or stopped working?
23493What would you do, dear?
23493What''s the matter?
23493What, are they such bold fellows?
23493Where are we going to?
23493Where is it?
23493Where is it?
23493Whereaway?
23493Which of the various dresses do you think the best?
23493Which way--_this_ way or_ that_ way?
23493Who is going to make the venture?
23493Who is it?
23493Why do n''t you sit down?
23493Why does he pat him so?
23493Why, man, what was your haste?
23493Why, oh_ why_ do people go to sea at all?
23493Why, sir, do n''t you know Whitstable?
23493Why, what are you turning about like that for?
23493Why, what d''ee mean, David?
23493Why, what''s wrong?
23493Will you let me go, Susan?
23493Will you tell her that I called for her subscription to the new hospital that is about to be built in the town? 23493 Would you--""Some more cake, Eddy?"
23493Wrong?
23493Wrong?
23493Ye do n''t main it? 23493 Yes, Miss?"
23493Yes, do you know her?
23493You are the captain of this schooner?
23493You bring a message, I see?
23493You had to fight, I suppose?
23493You will believe what she herself says, I suppose?
23493Your missus then?
23493Your name?
23493_ Did_ we make haste to be rich?
23493` Taken at the_ flood_,''is it not, papa?
23493A piece of bun?
23493Aileen,"she continued, with sudden anxiety,"are there not serpents in these woods?"
23493An''if you go down to twenty- five fathoms, or 150 feet, which is often done, what must the pressure be there?"
23493And if he was not ignorant, would he have passed over such means in silence?
23493And now, Joe, what is it that you want?"
23493And were not diamonds of the purest water dropping at that moment from her down- cast eyes?
23493And you did not come to see me till now?"
23493And, please, ma''am, would you like a cup of tea?"
23493Are you all right?"
23493Are you game to go?"
23493Besides, I have taken a fancy to see something of foreign parts before settling down vigorously to my profession, and--""Well?"
23493But how can we describe what followed?
23493But what are you goin''to do, sir?"
23493But what does they do?
23493But who are these?"
23493But why do you hold so low an opinion of him?"
23493Can you climb?"
23493Can you tell me where I am likely to find one, or can you recommend one?"
23493Come; who has got the heart to do a gallant deed, and save these women and children?"
23493Could it be a rock?
23493D''ee hear?"
23493D''ee understand?"
23493D''you understand me?"
23493David Maxwell can finish the job you had in hand,--speakin''of that, does any one know where David is just now?"
23493Did n''t I say I''d give you as much baccy as ye could chaw or smoke an ye''d only kape out o''this place?
23493Did she say when she would be home?"
23493Did you feel it?
23493Do n''t you remember that this is the evening of the day in which we attacked the Malay pirates long ago?"
23493Do n''t you think so?"
23493Do n''t you think you''d better come up?"
23493Do the prospects and terms suit, and will you come without delay?
23493Do you accept that situation?"
23493Do you happen to know what takes him so far from home?"
23493Do you know his name?"
23493Do you know much about the poor and their miseries?"
23493Do you know what that means?
23493Do you not think it probable that the air- tube may burst a second time?"
23493Do you remember her sister?
23493Do you wish me to wait, ma''am?"
23493Done it already?"
23493Eager inquiries followed--"What''s that?
23493Goin''to fast to- morrow, eh?
23493Got everything you want?"
23493Had n''t we better haul''i m up, sir?"
23493Have you anything to say to me before I go?"
23493Have you forgotten all about it?"
23493Hazlit?
23493Hear it?
23493How comes it, Pungarin, that you are so far from your own waters?
23493How much did you say the total is, Mister Eddy?"
23493How, for instance, is a man of my size to squeeze through that hole at the top?"
23493I am_ so_ overjoyed to see you; you have business to transact eh?"
23493I know you would like it-- would like being with me, would n''t you?"
23493I was going to say--""Have you enough cream?
23493If Mersennius were in a position to become acquainted with that diver''s powers, how comes it that he failed to become acquainted with his apparatus?
23493If it''s not takin''too great a liberty, Mister Edgar, may I ask what she''s like?"
23493If you do n''t quiet yourself, I''ll chuck you overboard-- d''ee hear?"
23493Impossible, surely?"
23493Indeed, I know that I am, but, then, have not my worst fears been realised?
23493Is it necessary to say that both arrangements were found, in course of time, to answer admirably?
23493Is n''t it strange that I''m so fond of you?
23493Is n''t it the fulfilment of your grandmother''s owld prophecy, that you''d come to a bad ind at last?
23493Look at your brother Ram, now; why do n''t''ee take example by him?"
23493Meanwhile, who is this?"
23493Miss Hazlit, is_ that_ her name?"
23493Molly dimpled her cheeks with a smile as she held up the glass, and said,"Are ye ready?"
23493Molly gave one pull at the life- line,"All right?"
23493Mr Berrington, what_ is_ the matter with papa?"
23493My man, how came_ you_ here?"
23493Need we say that the sea is at the bottom of it?
23493No, no, no,"said Miss Pritty, peeping out again;"how could you bring these dreadful creatures to my remembrance so abruptly?
23493No?
23493No?
23493No?
23493Not being a man of rapid thought he changed the subject:--"You are a diver, you say?"
23493Not bin wounded, I hope, sir?"
23493Not unwell, I trust?
23493Nothink at all?
23493Off with his mouth- piece,"cried Baldwin, kneeling on the writhing diver;"why, what''s wrong, Jem?"
23493On the contrary, we have been remarkably well treated-- what do you say?
23493Or to live on stooed hatmospheric hair with your own sauce for gravey-- hey?"
23493Or what if an earwig shud chance to have got inside this iron pot, and take a fancy to go into my ear?"
23493Pungarin, my excellent friend,"exclaimed the Jew, extending his hand, which the skipper merely condescended to touch,"how do you do?
23493Rooney, who carried his shoulders, took occasion to say while on the way down:--"David, boy, did ye find anny treasure?"
23493Shall you?"
23493She said this with an expression of such awful solemnity that Aileen could not forbear smiling as she asked--"Did you see any?"
23493Then he took the slate, obliterated the information on it, and printed in an equally bold, but very sprawly hand:--"Indeed?
23493There is a newspaper, to look-- no-- where is it?
23493This check induced the following ideas--"What if I shud want to scratch me head or blow me nose?
23493This here toobe, made of indyrubber, d''ee see?
23493Was not her hair golden and her skin alabaster?
23493We must always reply to each other, d''ee see?
23493Well, I forgive you, and am glad to see you-- but--""Well, aunt-- but what?"
23493Well, well!--Now, Mister Eddy, do n''t you think it would be as well for you to go down and have a look at the wreck?
23493Well, well-- now, look here: you think you''ve seen all my apparatus, an''know all about it?"
23493Well?"
23493Were not her lips coral and her teeth pearls?
23493What are the various modes you speak of?
23493What d''ee mane by it, Chok- foo?
23493What d''ee say to try, David?"
23493What do you mean, papa?"
23493What do you want, eh?"
23493What has kept you?
23493What has_ that_ to do with your visit?"
23493What on earth''s wrong with you?"
23493What ought I to do?"
23493What say you to that?"
23493What say you?
23493What say you?"
23493What was the passage, dear, that you quoted to me as being your text for the day?"
23493What would me mother say if she heard I could n''t git on my knees whin I tried to?"
23493What''s that?"
23493What, therefore, am I to do?"
23493What_ shall_ I do?"
23493When do you start, and when do you expect to be back?"
23493When the rulers and grandees of some Eastern nations live by plunder, what can be expected of the people?
23493Where did you find it?"
23493Who can tell what tales may be revealed in regard to such, in Eternity?
23493Why did you not mention it before?"
23493Why did you open me?"
23493Why should not an Irishman make a good diver?"
23493Why were we gifted with the quality of courage if risk and danger were never to be encountered?"
23493Why, what is Romance?
23493Will you sing?"
23493With a divin''dress on?"
23493You know, dear, that we had lost everything, but ever since our jewel- case was found by-- by--""By Edgar,"said Miss Pritty;"why do n''t you go on?"
23493You speak English?"
23493You''ll go, wo n''t you?"
23493You''re sure o''the old ingine, I fancy?"
23493You''s Eggirbringting?"
23493You''ve heard, I suppose, of coral reefs growing in places where none are marked on our charts?"
23493You''ve often seen Siebe and Gorman''s dresses, but did you ever see this helmet made by Heinke and Davis?"
23493_ I_ am a poor man: will you give me one?"
23493_ Now_, Miss, d''you think you can tell him all that?"
23493_ That''s_ not one of''em, is it?"
23493_ You_ not a good comforter?
23493_ can_ it be?"
23493` Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?''
23493ejaculated Baldwin, elevating his eyebrows a little, as he said gravely,"what, not even like an angel?"
23493exclaimed Miss Pritty, in breathless surprise,"where?"
23493exclaimed Mr Hazlit,"not one of your paupers?"
23493exclaimed the Demon of the sea, giving the ship a little lurch to starboard, which cut short the merchant''s remarks abruptly;"you think so, do you?
23493gasped Jem, as soon as his glass was off;"wrong?
23493he repeated,"why, I thought you did n''t like the sea?"
23493said Edgar, with a surprised look;"what more is he?"
23493said Joe, with a smile,"is the gentleman who borrowed you within?"
23493she asked;"shriek for help?"
23493shouted Jem again, while a horrible grin distorted his unhandsome visage;"wrong?
23493stammered Mr Hazlit, in equal surprise;"whereon earth-- why-- how-- where-- young man, did you find them?"
11469A stowaway, eh?
11469Ai n''t he the broth of a lad? 11469 Ai n''t you comin''in?"
11469An''that old stiff signaled to him to make his getaway?
11469And go back?
11469And have returned to China to live in peace and comfort?
11469And how far to Peking by the road?
11469And in the meantime you''ll tell him that I have gone away?
11469And make terms with a pack of rioters?
11469And my friends?
11469And now what?
11469And so,he said,"you think we are spread out along this road for the conspirators to grab off?"
11469And the machines are gone for good?
11469And the revolutionists will win?
11469And they are strong?
11469And they went away with this fellow?
11469And they will fight for that?
11469And what''s the matter with me goin''?
11469And wounded?
11469And you claim a cablegram which is here? 11469 And you have captured them?"
11469And you have the Secret Service code?
11469And you think Hans, if it is he, will understand?
11469And you think they will hang about the flying squadron until they recover what they have lost?
11469And you went to sleep with all this on your mind and slept up to within a quarter of an hour of the time set for action?
11469And you were engaged in it?
11469And yours, Jack?
11469Are all the men you took from the ship with you?
11469Are we never going to get anything to eat?
11469Are you an officer of the telegraph company?
11469Are you there? 11469 Boys,"he said, in as matter- of- fact tone as he could assume,"what did Frank and Jack say when they left the camp?"
11469But he did n''t have the powder, or the dynamite, or whatever thing he figured on blowing us up with, in his pockets, did he?
11469But how am I to get it to- night?
11469But how did you get here?
11469But how did you get here?
11469But how in the Dickens did Hans ever get to you? 11469 But how, when, why?"
11469But why does he remain inactive? 11469 But why should the Secret Service department put you in such peril?"
11469But why should this man be doing business with the rebels?
11469But why were they not given me before?
11469But why?
11469But, say, did you ever see anythin''like that vanishin''priest? 11469 By the way,"said the consul,"where are the papers you took from the captain of the Shark-- the boat you fought with your submarine?"
11469Ca n''t I?
11469Call of the pack?
11469Can he make a tree three hundred years old in a minute?
11469Can you make the talk come from behind me?
11469Can you run?
11469Cut it out?
11469Did he brush it all away?
11469Did n''t he know that you were expecting instructions from Washington while on the way to Peking?
11469Did n''t you see him crowd out with the marine officer?
11469Did n''t you see them when you went back?
11469Did you speak?
11469Did you?
11469Do you hear them buzzing?
11469Do you know him to be Ned Nestor?
11469Do you know the way out of this?
11469Do you know what that means?
11469Do you know why we are going on motorcycles?
11469Do you recognize the fellow with his disguise off? 11469 Do you see the fine work done with the seal which made this impression?"
11469Do you see the light in the cellar? 11469 Do you think he''s on the level?"
11469Do you think they are Chinamen?
11469Do you think we can get him on to Peking?
11469Dressed in native costume?
11469European police?
11469Even if I found it in a cellar by the side of a half barrel of gunpowder to which a lighted fuse had been attached?
11469Finders keepers?
11469Found somethin''?
11469From Washington?
11469Got a light?
11469Got clear away, did he?
11469Had n''t you better make your case-- if you can make it at all-- in the courts?
11469Have you a match?
11469Have you the message with you?
11469Here, kid, where are you going?
11469How badly are the machines damaged?
11469How could he make the journey on foot, through a country suspicious of every foreigner? 11469 How could you have been?"
11469How could you mix with them?
11469How did it affect your appetite?
11469How did the sneak who set the fuse on fire ever get down there?
11469How did you do it?
11469How did you do it?
11469How did you get to China?
11469How did you know there was danger inside?
11469How did you know?
11469How do you know?
11469How do you like it?
11469How long has he been loitering about the room?
11469How many of the Chinks did you catch?
11469How much money was offered you to hold this message?
11469How much will you take for a month in vaudeville?
11469How the Old Harry did he get here?
11469How?
11469How?
11469I presume I can see him?
11469I wonder if old Chee is still asleep from the dope?
11469I wonder if the little scamp is in trouble again?
11469I wonder if they are out in force?
11469I wonder what''s keeping Ned?
11469If he had reached the old house first, he would have waited here for us, would n''t he?
11469If he is here?
11469If they should try to hold us here, what?
11469In this dump?
11469Is it in the code of the Secret Service?
11469Is that a promise or a threat?
11469Is that true?
11469Is there another way out?
11469Is this yours?
11469Japanese- lookin''chap?
11469Let''s see,grinned Frank,"we were to have a flying squadron of marines with us?
11469May we go back to the fire?
11469Murdered? 11469 My friends?"
11469No, it does n''t; yet what is he stopping here for? 11469 Now, what do you know about that?"
11469Oh, they wo n''t?
11469Oh, yes, easy, but how did you do it?
11469Our friends?
11469Out for a walk?
11469Perhaps he thought the truth would frighten you off?
11469Say, are we ever goin''back after that gold?
11469Say, do you think you have run''em down at last?
11469Say, how would you wild animals like to take a jaunt on your motorcycles to- night? 11469 Say,"the boy said, excitement in voice and manner,"did n''t you leave Frank and Jack at the camp when you left?"
11469Shall I go get him?
11469Shall I risk an answer?
11469Shall I take them in charge?
11469Shall we go in?
11469Shall you go on to- night?
11469So soon? 11469 So you are now the only one to look to for the history of this bit of deviltry?"
11469So, they were using rockets?
11469Suppose the Chinks attack the men left behind?
11469Suppose we all go back on our machines, and really see something of the country?
11469Suppose we go in and ask some ordinary question?
11469Suppose we make a little noise?
11469Suppose,Ned said,"suppose I turn you over to the revolutionary leaders, with a statement of what you have just said?
11469Telegrams in China?
11469That waiter?
11469The fuse went out, did n''t it? 11469 The man who warned you is Lieutenant Rae?"
11469Then he understood, all right?
11469Then this is final?
11469Then we''d better be on double guard?
11469Then what can be done with them?
11469Then what can we do?
11469Then why do n''t we ask this good, wise, benevolent, sane, and all the rest of it government to keep the revolutionary party off Uncle Sam?
11469Then you do n''t know that they have gone back to Taku?
11469Then you think he knew there was something wrong because we did not meet you?
11469They will not be attacked there?
11469This man Rae?
11469This was not used?
11469To scare you?
11469To the embassy?
11469Very well,the Captain said,"now will you tell me how you set this trap so, cleverly?"
11469Walk?
11469Was he there with your captors? 11469 Was that stamp made by the seal you just hid away?"
11469Was the stamp made with the seal you have with you?
11469Was there a Chink who spoke English like a native?
11469We ca n''t fight a whole nation, can we? 11469 We do n''t know much about China, do we?"
11469Well, suppose he is now here trying to get something in exchange for the gold which lies at the bottom of the Pacific?
11469Well, supposing, for the sake of argument, that I was at Taku, what has that to do with this brutal and illegal arrest?
11469Well,Jack said, more to break the strange silence than for any other purpose,"why do n''t you say something?"
11469Well,Jimmie asked, of Ned,"did he tumble?
11469Well,Ned went on, laughing,"we had a high wind yesterday, did n''t we?
11469Well?
11469Were these men present?
11469Were you to withhold the message altogether, or were you merely to delay this young man?
11469What are we halting here for?
11469What are you going to do about delivering the cablegram?
11469What are you going to do about that runaway kid?
11469What are you hiding back there in the darkness for? 11469 What are you trying to do?"
11469What did you do that for?
11469What did you go an''sit down there an''wait for?
11469What did you say?
11469What do they do with them?
11469What do you make of the mummery now going on?
11469What do you mean by coming in here and giving orders?
11469What do you mean by that? 11469 What do you mean by that?"
11469What do you mean by that?
11469What do you propose?
11469What do you think we ought to do with you?
11469What do you think?
11469What do you want?
11469What does he mean by that?
11469What does it mean?
11469What does the accuser say?
11469What does this mean?
11469What for?
11469What government do you represent?
11469What has this to do with my case?
11469What have you been doing?
11469What is going on out there?
11469What is it?
11469What is it?
11469What is it?
11469What is it?
11469What is it?
11469What is the trouble?
11469What is this Rae person doing here? 11469 What kind of a game is this?"
11469What kind of a hotel is this?
11469What kind of a play house is this?
11469What makes you think so?
11469What makes you think so?
11469What nation is it that is protecting the imperial government of China?
11469What national seal made that stamp on the wax you have in your pocket, Ned?
11469What next?
11469What next?
11469What they doing to Ned and Jimmie?
11469What was an American doing in that bunch?
11469What was the motive?
11469What''s coming off here?
11469What''s the answer now?
11469What''s the answer to that?
11469What''s the difficulty, kid?
11469What''s the trouble?
11469What''s the use of all that if the Chinks sit out there like blooming cigar- store images and never give a hint as to where we are? 11469 What''s your name?"
11469What''s your notion?
11469Where are the marines?
11469Where are we?
11469Where are you going?
11469Where did he come from?
11469Where did the Chinks go?
11469Where did they ascend from?
11469Where did you get it?
11469Where did you get this information you''re favoring us with? 11469 Where did you leave Frank and Jack?"
11469Where do you live?
11469Where is Captain Martin, of the marines?
11469Where is Captain Martin, the officer in charge?
11469Where is he?
11469Where is he?
11469Where is the other prisoner?
11469Where is this mysticism of the East located?
11469Where is your uniform?
11469Where?
11469Which is Ned Nestor?
11469Which man?
11469Who are these men?
11469Who bribed you?
11469Who did it, then?
11469Who did it?
11469Who directed you to the house where I found you?
11469Who is it that is doing the talking?
11469Who met you in the library at the house you attempted to destroy?
11469Who was it that ran away?
11469Who was it?
11469Who''s Hans?
11469Who''s first?
11469Why daylight?
11469Why did n''t some one follow him?
11469Why did n''t you get a move on?
11469Why did n''t you notify the officer then in charge of the squad?
11469Why did n''t you pull him out?
11469Why did n''t you say something of an accuser before?
11469Why did they dope her?
11469Why do n''t you go back to the Pyramids and sleep for another thousand years? 11469 Why do n''t you knock a fellow over?"
11469Why do n''t you out with it, then?
11469Why do n''t you tell us what the danger is?
11469Why do you attribute this outbreak to me?
11469Why do you call her Chee?
11469Why do you ride in the night?
11469Why does n''t he come into the place with a brass band? 11469 Why morning?"
11469Why not?
11469Why this midnight industry? 11469 Why venture out in the storm?"
11469Will you deliver the cablegram?
11469Wo n''t the finding of them men there get her into trouble?
11469Wonder if that old gear- face thinks he can guard us an''sleep, too? 11469 Yes?
11469You are Ned Nestor?
11469You are convinced that these are the people who were sent out to defeat the purpose of our mission?
11469You are taking life easily? 11469 You arranged for this demonstration in case you should be taken?"
11469You can read this code, I suppose?
11469You doubtless recall the time the allied armies were sent to Peking to rescue the foreign ambassadors during the Boxer uprising? 11469 You have just landed?"
11469You have possession of certain documents taken from a certain wreck in the Pacific Ocean?
11469You have the key to the code?
11469You know how the Moores, father an''son, tried to get us on the submarine? 11469 You mean the men you left in the cornfield?"
11469You placed the powder under the house where the wounded men lay?
11469You planned this?
11469You saw Hans?
11469You think there will be a war?
11469You were at Taku?
11469You will deny your own fingerprints, the shoeprints?
11469You''ll do what you can to find them?
11469You''re going to Peking on business?
11469Your proof will assist you when you get there?
11469A cablegram in cipher-- the cipher code of the Secret Service of the United States government?"
11469A wind that tumbled the dust of the streets in upon us?
11469And Lieutenant Scott?
11469And help him hunt Frank and Jack, will you?"
11469And how comes it that he chanced on this building?"
11469And these others?
11469And, after he got away, how did he happen to blunder into the company of our escort?
11469Are you ready?"
11469But?"
11469By the way, I wonder where Jack and Frank are?
11469CHAPTER III A SHOE AND A SURPRISE"What do you mean by that?"
11469CHAPTER V A COLLECTION OF WILD ANIMALS"Well, what do you think of it?"
11469CHAPTER XI THE MYSTICISM OF THE EAST"You remember what the consul said regarding trouble on the road to Peking?"
11469CHAPTER XVIII A BROKEN MATCH SAFE"Why do n''t she go up?"
11469Can it be possible that you were treacherous to both sides?"
11469Could it be possible that the nation to which it belonged had been engaged in this conspiracy?
11469Did he know where you were going?"
11469Do you know where I found it, my friend?"
11469Do you know where your two friends are-- the two who accompanied you here?"
11469Do you see why it went out?"
11469Do you want him to know that we are wise to his game?"
11469Frank nodded and whispered:"Did they get Ned, too?"
11469Give it up, now?"
11469Got that?"
11469Had he escaped from the building, or was he detained in the room he had surreptitiously entered?
11469He advanced upon the priests and demanded:"Will you take me along?"
11469How did he get to Tientsin, anyway?"
11469How did he know where to go?
11469How did this German boy learn all this?"
11469How did you get to China?"
11469How do you like it?"
11469How far must we walk?"
11469How would they be received?
11469How would you like to take a New York special, just now?"
11469How, may I ask?"
11469I wonder how he got hold of Hans?"
11469I wonder how he likes the scene?"
11469I wonder if this gazabo will get Frank and Jack?"
11469I wonder what instructions this Rae person will give Ned?"
11469I wonder where it will be?"
11469If he had indeed escaped, would he have the good sense to hasten to the camp instead of trying to assist his chum single- handed?
11469Is this true?"
11469Machines in good order?"
11469Ned did not know the men as well as he knew the Captain, therefore he asked:"The men will obey your orders to the letter?
11469Ned pointed to one and spoke to Hans:"Can you ride?"
11469Ned said, then he stooped over and called out to Jimmie:"Is the fuse out?"
11469Nestor?"
11469Nice to be so exclusive, is n''t it?"
11469Nothing odd about that, is there?"
11469Now, how did he ever get to Tientsin, and how did he locate us?"
11469Now, what do you think he''s doin''here?"
11469Now, what shall we do?
11469Sandy, who had been listening in silence to the explanations which had been made, now asked:"How many Chinks are there out there?"
11469Say, Ned, what do you know about them callers you''re goin''to have?
11469Say, Ned,"he added,"why ca n''t we cut it out?
11469Say, how would you fellers like a chair in front of the grate in the little old Black Bear Patrol clubroom, in the village of N. Y.?
11469Say,"he added, with a grin,"ai n''t this tie- up game getting stale?
11469See?
11469See?"
11469Shall we sneak out of a window, or remain here and find out what he wants?"
11469Suppose we knock this fellow on the head?
11469Suppose we wait until daylight and then make a rush?"
11469The latter asked:"Where''s Ned?"
11469The only question in my mind is this: Will they let us alone until daylight?
11469There was a smile on his face as he asked:"Do Taoist priests accost strangers on the highway?"
11469Think they are sufficiently soused with opium?"
11469Vot issit if I hand himone?
11469Vot?"
11469We had to keep cases on this chap, did n''t we?"
11469What I want to know is, where did you catch him, and who pays you to bring it to us, and who pays him to pay you to feed it to us?
11469What about it, Gulf of Pechili and the Peiho river Ned?"
11469What are the lives of a dozen or more to the prosperity of millions?
11469What did you pull me out of me covers for?"
11469What did you see?"
11469What did you wake me up for, anyway?"
11469What do you think of that?"
11469What does it mean?"
11469What inducements were offered you to keep the cablegram away from this young man?
11469What nations did they represent, or pretend to represent?"
11469What was it?
11469What were they to get for the gold?"
11469What would be your fate?
11469What''s the matter with this rice, kid, and this meat pie?"
11469What''s your name?
11469What?
11469What?"
11469What?"
11469When do you expect to meet with these foxy chaps?"
11469Where does he live, and is he black, white, or red?
11469Where is he?"
11469Where is the paper to which the seal was attached?"
11469Where is there an eatery?"
11469Where was Jimmie?
11469Where''s that Secret Service feller that was goin''to set the pace for us?"
11469Who are you, and where did you come from?
11469Who were they?
11469Why ca n''t you boys behave yourselves?"
11469Why should he want to get us into a war?"
11469Will that answer?"
11469Without trial?"
11469Would they be greeted with treacherous words, or with a murderous fusillade of bullets and knives stabbing in the darkness?
11469Would you know this lad you speak of if you should see him again?"
11469You claim to be Ned Nestor?"
11469You were about to start on without your final instructions?"
11469he added,"where is Ned?"
11469he said, feeling about in the darkness,"what do you think of my ruinnin''into a sea soldier an''getting chucked through the hole the carpenter left?"
10056''A Sage and a Philanthropist?'' 10056 ''His words-- uttered with difficulty?''"
10056''Who can give it to him?'' 10056 A rude life,"said some one;--"how could you put up with it?"
10056Am I, indeed,said the Master,"possessed of knowledge?
10056And after enriching them, what more would you do for them?
10056And are not those who, while not comprehending all that is said, still remain not unpleased to hear, men of the superior order?
10056And can he be said to be wise who, with a liking for taking part in the public service, is constantly letting slip his opportunities?
10056And if you are obliged to give up one of the remaining two, which would it be?
10056And what call you the five excellences?
10056And with you, Kung- si, how would it be?
10056And with you, Tsang Sin?
10056And you, too, Tsz- kung,he continued,"have your aversions, have you not?"
10056Are such available?
10056As to those of whom you are uncertain, will others omit to notice them?
10056But Yen, then-- he had a State in view, had he not?
10056But had not Kung- si also a State in view?
10056But two tithings would not be enough for my purposes,said the duke;"what would be the good of applying the Statute?"
10056But was he a man of fellow- feeling?
10056But was he a man of fellow- feeling?
10056But was not Kwan Chung wanting in good- will? 10056 But,"he asked,"how am I to know the sagacious and talented, before promoting them?"
10056But,said the disciple,"if you can not really have all three, and one has to be given up, which would you give up first?"
10056Can any do otherwise than assent to words said to them by way of correction? 10056 Can it be so?"
10056Ch''ang,said he,"is wanton; where do you get at his inflexibleness?"
10056Does Heaven ever speak?
10056Does a gentleman,asked Tsz- lu,"make much account of bravery?"
10056Does that make them''superior men''?
10056From what do you know that I am competent to that?
10056Had they any feelings of resentment?
10056He knew the Rules of Propriety, I suppose?
10056He of Lu?
10056How is it possible indeed to serve one''s prince in their company? 10056 How shall I dare,"he replied,"even to look at Hwúi?
10056How should I dare to die,said he,"while you, sir, still lived?"
10056How should such a rule of life,asked the Master,"be sufficient to make any one good?"
10056How then,he answered,"would you requite kindness?
10056How would you describe those who are at present in the government service?
10056How,exclaimed the Master,"can such words be appropriated in the ancestral hall of the Three Families?"
10056If I were to take a raft, and drift about on the sea, would Tsz- lu, I wonder, be my follower there?
10056If the''superior man''make nought of social good feeling, how shall he fully bear that name? 10056 If you would know one who without effort ruled well, was not Shun such a one?
10056If your Majesty say,''What is to be done to profit my kingdom?'' 10056 If your Majesty wishes to carry out a benevolent government, why not turn back to what is the essential step to its attainment?
10056In the Declaration of T''ang it is said,''O Sun, when wilt thou expire? 10056 Is it not this,"he replied--"to make that which is of benefit to the people still more beneficial?
10056Is it so bad as that?
10056Is not this apropos in such cases?
10056Is that the case with him?
10056Is that what is meant by proper regard for one''s fellow- creatures?
10056Is the philanthropic spirit far to seek, indeed?
10056Is there, then,he asked,"one sentence which, if acted upon, would have the effect of ruining a country?"
10056May I ask, please, what these are?
10056May I presume,said his questioner,"to ask what sort you would put next to such?"
10056May I still venture to ask whom you would place next in order?
10056May they not be of use to the villages and hamlets around you?
10056Nothing more than that?
10056O Heaven, what crimes have we to own, That death and ruin still come down? 10056 Of that I am not sure,"he answered;"how am I to get at that?"
10056Of that I am not sure,he replied;"how am I to get at that?"
10056Of what sort?
10056Once, though, he was standing alone when I was hurrying past him over the vestibule, and he said,''Are you studying the Odes?'' 10056 Say you, is there any one who is able for one whole day to apply the energy of his mind to this virtue?
10056Sir,replied Confucius,"in the administration of government why resort to capital punishment?
10056Sir,said Tsz- kung,"how comes it to pass that no one knows you?"
10056Sir,said Tsz- kung,"if you were never to speak, what should your pupils have to hand down from you?"
10056So far as I have to do with others, whom do I over- censure? 10056 So then Tsz- chang is the better of the two, is he?"
10056Suppose that he take his duty to his fellow- men as his peculiar burden, is that not indeed a heavy one? 10056 Take Tsz- hwa, then; what of him?"
10056That is the man,said he,"who knows things are not up to the mark, and is making some ado about them, is it not?"
10056That, and yet no more?
10056There is Yu''s harpsichord,exclaimed the Master--"what is it doing at my door?"
10056Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so bold?"
10056Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so loud?"
10056To have associates in study coming to one from distant parts-- does not this also mean pleasure in store? 10056 Tsz- lu,"said the Master,"you have heard of the six words with their six obfuscations?"
10056Was he miserly?
10056Was not Tsang Wan like one who surreptitiously came by the post he held? 10056 Well, are they then,"he asked,"such as will follow their leader?"
10056Well, is not putting duty first, and success second, a way of raising the standard of virtue? 10056 What are ancestral temples and Grand Receptions, but for the feudal lords to take part in?
10056What harm?
10056What mean you,asked Tsz- chang,"by bounty without extravagance?"
10056What rudeness would there be,he replied,"if a''superior man''was living in their midst?"
10056What say you then of Yen Yu?
10056What says your Master?
10056What, I wonder, do you mean by one who is influential?
10056What, then, do you call the four evils?
10056What, then, if they all disliked him?
10056When there is ability in a ruler to govern a country by adhering to the Rules of Propriety, and by kindly condescension, what is wanted more? 10056 Where a man,"said he again,"has not the proper feelings due from one man to another, how will he stand as regards the Rules of Propriety?
10056Where from?
10056Where there is difficulty in doing,the Master replied,"will there not be some difficulty in utterance?"
10056Who can go out but by that door? 10056 Why did you smile at Tsz- lu, sir?"
10056Why must you name Káu- tsung?
10056Why not apply the Tithing Statute?
10056Why should he really do so?
10056Why so late?
10056Why so much ado,said the Master,"at my merely permitting his approach, and not rather at my allowing him to draw back?
10056With one who does not come to me inquiring''What of this?'' 10056 Yen,"said Confucius,"does not the fault lie with you?
10056Yen,said he,"how would it be with you?"
10056You are a follower of Confucius of Lu, are you not?
10056''Etiquette demands it,''so people plead,"said he;"but do not these hankerings after jewels and silks indeed demand it?
10056--"I do,"he replied;"is it not so?"
10056--"Too much?"
10056A high State official, after questioning Tsz- kung, said,"Your Master is a sage, then?
10056A person remarked to him,"Can you not yet bear to withdraw?"
10056Abruptly he asked me,''How can the kingdom, all under the sky, be settled?''
10056Addressing Tsz- kung, the Master said,"Which of the two is ahead of the other-- yourself or Hwúi?"
10056Addressing Tsz- kung, the Master said,"You regard me as one who studies and stores up in his mind a multiplicity of things-- do you not?"
10056Afterwards, when Fan Ch''i was driving him, the Master informed him of this question and answer, and Fan Ch''i asked,"What was your meaning?"
10056Again,"Let a ruler but see to his own rectitude, and what trouble will he then have in the work before him?
10056Alluding to the matter of the Chief of the Ki family worshipping on Tai- shan,[ 7] the Master said to Yen Yu,"Can not you save him from this?"
10056Although I do not go to you, Why from all word do you refrain?
10056Although I do not go to you, Yet why to me should you not come?
10056Although he had his tower, his pond, birds and animals, how could he have pleasure alone?"
10056Am I eminently worthy and wise?--who is there then among men whom I will not bear with?
10056And am I the great Monarch of the line of Han?
10056And if it should happen that my services were enlisted, I might create for him another East Chow-- don''t you think so?"
10056And in such a case, what shall we say of his sense of harmony?"
10056And is not attacking the evil in one''s self, and not the evil which is in others, a way of reforming dissolute habits?
10056And moreover what permanent preceptor could he have?"
10056And parents, how are you restrained, In this so dreadful day?
10056And since only with death it is done with, is not the way long?"
10056And though I should fail to have a grand funeral over me, I should hardly be left on my death on the public highway, should I?"
10056And what does he account next, as that about which he may be indifferent?
10056And what harm, I ask, can a man do to the sun or the moon, by wishing to intercept himself from either?
10056And where is the wisdom of those who choose an abode where it does not abide?
10056And why can not they do so?
10056And yet the people of the neighboring kings do not decrease, nor do my people increase-- how is this?"
10056And you are a follower of a learned man who withdraws from his chief; had you not better be a follower of such as have forsaken the world?"
10056Another day, when he was again standing alone and I was hurrying past across the vestibule, he said to me,''Are you learning the Rules of Propriety?''
10056Are there no dice and chess players?
10056Are we now with them in 402?]
10056Assuming that the words were good, and that none withstood them, would not that also be good?
10056Attended once by the two disciples Yen Yuen and Tsz- lu, he said,"Come now, why not tell me, each of you, what in your hearts you are really after?"
10056But I have seen my lord again;-- Should not my heart rejoice?
10056But had there been none of superior quality in Lu, how should this man have attained to this excellence?"
10056But how is it that this heart has in it what is equal to the attainment of the Royal sway?"
10056But if they can not exert themselves to expel the barbarians, why call for the princess to propitiate them?
10056But so long as Heaven does not allow it to perish, what can the men of K''wang do to me?"
10056But soon what changes may betide?
10056But though Ts''e be narrow and small, how should I grudge a bull?
10056But what had disciples of Buddha to do with hunting and taking life?
10056But with such uncommon attractions, what chance has kept you from our sight?
10056But,"said he,"what need of such in these days?
10056But-- when the people have not enough, who will allow their prince all that he wants?"
10056Can any be other than pleased with words of gentle suasion?
10056Can any one refuse to exhort, who is true- hearted?"
10056Can my suffering''scape their ken?
10056Can this man have enjoyed the three years of loving care from his parents?"
10056Can ye not devise a way to send out these foreign troops, without yielding up the princess for the sake of peace?
10056Can ye withhold Your sympathy, who lately reigned?
10056Ch''ang- tsü said,"Who is the person driving the carriage?"
10056Chung- ne said,''Was he not without posterity who first made wooden images to bury with the dead?''
10056Commenting on these lines the Master said,"There can hardly have been much''thought going out,''What does distance signify?"
10056Confucius gave him a seat, and among other inquiries he asked,"How is your master managing?"
10056Covering the jujubes the dolichos grows, The graves many dragon- plants cover; But where is the man on whose breast I''d repose?
10056Do I not night and day, Revere great Heaven, That thus its favor may To Chow be given?
10056Does Heaven indeed speak?"
10056Does he investigate matters?
10056Does that coincide with your remark?"
10056Does your Majesty know the way of the growing grain?
10056Dost think that my thoughts go not out to thee?
10056During life I am determined to have abundance of riches; what care I for the curses of mankind after my death?
10056From them our thoughts quick to our husbands pass?
10056From what quarter come such superior charms?
10056Fâ- hien first spoke assuringly to them, and then slowly and distinctly asked them,"Who are you?"
10056Give me a cup from that gilt vase-- When shall this longing end in sight?
10056Had he not plenty of ladies in his palace, of whom he might have sent me one?
10056He asked further,"What country is this?"
10056He asked,"Can any one refuse to toil for those he loves?
10056He replied,"If I act in a straightforward way in serving men, whither in these days should I go, where I should not be thrice dismissed?
10056He said,"I have heard that superior men show no partiality; are they, too, then, partial?
10056He then asked,"What are you looking for among these hills?"
10056His face beamed with pleasure, and he said laughingly,"To kill a cock-- why use an ox- knife?"
10056His rule is-- covet nought, none hate;-- How can his steps from goodness stray?
10056How am I to be strung up like that kind of thing-- and live without means?"
10056How are such to come from book- learning?"
10056How can sorrow from my heart In a case like this depart?
10056How can such a thing as entrapping the people be done under the rule of a benevolent man?"
10056How can they know, who never try To learn whence comes our woe?
10056How can your Majesty have such a desire on account of them?"
10056How else could all your evil dreams And slanders work their way?
10056How goes the night?
10056How goes the night?
10056How in our absence shall their wants be met?
10056How indeed could such as he be equalled?"
10056How is this?
10056How know we what difference there may be in them in the future from what they are now?
10056How may a master play fast and loose in his methods of instruction?
10056How shall our parents find their wonted food?
10056How shall our parents their requirements get?
10056How should I derive pleasure from these things?
10056How should I have the ambition?"
10056How should they know who never try To learn whence comes our woe?
10056How should your carriages, large or little, get along without your whipple- trees or swing- trees?"
10056I am but a woman; how shall I succeed in being the first to see him?"
10056I know not about his good- naturedness; but at any rate what need of that gift?"
10056I never can ask''What of this?''
10056I replied,''It will be settled by being united under one sway,''"''Who can so unite it?''
10056I should say he was not a man who had much good- will in him-- eh?"
10056I turn my gaze to the great sky;-- When shall this drought be done, and I Quiet and restful be?"
10056If Kung- si were to become an unimportant assistant at these functions, who could become an important one?"
10056If he be unable to rectify himself, how is he to rectify others?"
10056If he knew the Rules of Propriety, who is there that does not know them?"
10056If there be no reverential feeling in the matter, what is there to distinguish between the cases?"
10056If these, then, also make an administrator, how am I to take your words about being an administrator?"
10056If with one part you try to subdue the other eight, what is the difference between that and Tsow''s contending with Ts''oo?
10056If you felt pained by its being led without any guilt to the place of death, what was there to choose between a bull and a sheep?"
10056If you, sir, as a leader show correctness, who will dare not to be correct?"
10056If, on the other hand, he habituate himself to impetuosity of mind, and show it also in his way of doing things, is he not then over- impetuous?"
10056In archery What man with him can vie?
10056In eager pursuit of her, I have reached the imperial palace.--Is not this she?
10056In his case, what is the use of reprimand?
10056In such a case, who will oppose your Majesty?
10056In the core of my heart I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day?
10056In the core of my heart do I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day?
10056In the course of conversation Yen Yu said,"Does the Master take the part of the Prince of Wei?"
10056In the gentleman is there indeed such variety of ability?
10056Is an exception to be made here?
10056Is it not because you show yourself so smart a speaker, now?"
10056Is it not so indeed?
10056Is not his way of arriving at things different from that of others?"
10056Is not this the Emperor, my sovereign?
10056King Seuen of Ts''e asked, saying,"May I be informed by you of the transactions of Hwan of Ts''e and Wan of Ts''in?"
10056Know ye in what place she grieves, listening like me to the screams of the wild bird?
10056Laid is the bamboo mat on rush mat square;-- Here shall he sleep, and, waking, say,"Divine What dreams are good?
10056Let your Majesty likewise make benevolence and righteousness your only themes-- Why must you speak of profit?"
10056May I not as well give up?"
10056May I request that you proceed against him?"
10056Mencius continued,"Is there any difference between doing it with a sword and with governmental measures?"
10056Mencius replied,"If the people of Tsow were fighting with the people of Ts''oo, which of them does your Majesty think would conquer?"
10056Mencius replied,"Is there any difference between killing a man with a stick and with a sword?"
10056Mencius replied,"Why must your Majesty used that word''profit''?
10056Mencius resumed,"Are you led to desire it because you have not enough of rich and sweet food for your mouth?
10056Mencius said,"May I hear from you what it is that your Majesty greatly desires?"
10056Might he be called philanthropic?"
10056Might he then learn something of gardening?
10056Min Tsz- k''ien observed,"How if it were repaired on the old lines?"
10056No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed?
10056No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed?
10056No food is left our parents to supply; When we are gone, on whom can they rely?
10056Now suppose some one got to know you, what then?"
10056O azure Heaven, from out thy deeps Why look in silence down?
10056O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war?
10056O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war?
10056O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war?
10056O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so?
10056O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so?
10056O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so?
10056O noble chiefs, who then the West adorned, Would ye have thus neglected me and scorned?
10056Of Wei- shang Kau he said,"Who calls him straightforward?
10056On going in to him, that disciple began,"What sort of men were Peh- I and Shuh Ts''i?"
10056On one occasion he exclaimed,"Heaven begat Virtue in me; what can man do unto me?"
10056Once the Master said,"Because we allow that a man''s words have something genuine in them, are they necessarily those of a superior man?
10056Once when the stabling was destroyed by fire, he withdrew from the Court, and asked,"Is any person injured?"
10056Or it is,''The study of Music requires it''--''Music requires it''; but do not these predilections for bells and drums require it?"
10056Person slighted, life all blighted, What can the future prove?
10056Regard you only me?
10056Sad dreams returned to our lonely pillow; we thought of her through the night: Her verdant tomb remains-- but where shall we seek her self?
10056Said he,"It is a year of dearth, and there is an insufficiency for Ways and Means-- what am I to do?"
10056Shall I become a carriage driver, or an archer?
10056Should I deceive Heaven?
10056Should we oppose the Tartars, and be defeated, what will remain to us?
10056So when his desire is the virtue of humaneness, and he attains it, how shall he then be covetous?
10056Some one asked,"What say you of the remark,''Requite enmity with kindness''?"
10056Some one thereupon remarked,"Who says that the son of the man of Tsou[ 8] understands about ceremonial?
10056Some one, speaking to Confucius, inquired,"Why, sir, are you not an administrator of government?"
10056The Master added,"Where there is found, upon introspection, to be no chronic disease, how shall there be any trouble?
10056The Master asked him,"Would it be a satisfaction to you-- that returning to better food, that putting on of fine clothes?"
10056The Master heard of this, and mentioning it to his disciples he said,"What then shall I take in hand?
10056The Master replied,"Where there is scarcely the ability to minister to living men, how shall there be ability to minister to the spirits?"
10056The Master''s reply was,"In a case where there is a father or elder brother still left with you, how should you practise all you hear?"
10056The bird, although a creature small, Upon its mate depends; And shall we men, who rank o''er all, Not seek to have our friends?
10056The followers introduced him; and, on leaving, he said to them,"Sirs, why grieve at his loss of office?
10056The king asked,"How may the difference between him who does not do a thing and him who is not able to do it be graphically set forth?"
10056The king laughed and said,"What really was my mind in the matter?
10056The king said,"Is such an one as poor I competent to love and protect the people?"
10056The king said,"May I hear what they will be?"
10056The king said,"Of what kind must his virtue be who can attain to the Royal sway?"
10056The man of my heart is away and I mourn-- What home have I, lonely and weeping?
10056The minister replied,"So long as the people have enough left for themselves, who of them will allow their prince to be without enough?
10056The three other disciples having gone out, leaving Tsang Sin behind, the latter said,"What think you of the answers of those three?"
10056They asked in reply whether, if they did so, they should omit the consecration of the bell, but the king said,"How can that be omitted?
10056They replied,"Who are you that say you are our mother?"
10056Tigers do we care to be?
10056To his disciples he once said,"Do you look upon me, my sons, as keeping anything secret from you?
10056To the disciple Tsz- lu the Master said,"Shall I give you a lesson about knowledge?
10056To the great sky I look with pain;-- Why do these grievous sorrows rain On my devoted head?
10056Tsz- chang in a conversation with Confucius asked,"What say you is essential for the proper conduct of government?"
10056Tsz- k''in asked of Pih- yu,"Have you heard anything else peculiar from your father?"
10056Tsz- kung asked,"I suppose a gentleman will have his aversions as well as his likings?"
10056Tsz- kung asked,"What of me, then?"
10056Tsz- kung asked,"What say you, sir, of the poor who do not cringe and fawn; and what of the rich who are without pride and haughtiness?"
10056Tsz- kung put to him the question,"Is there one word upon which the whole life may proceed?"
10056Tsz- kung was consulting him, and asked,"What say you of a person who was liked by all in his village?"
10056Tsz- lu inquired of him,"Have you seen my Master, sir?"
10056Tsz- lu rejoined,"But he will have the people and their superiors to gain experience from, and there will be the altars; what need to read books?
10056Tsz- lu then put his question to Kieh- nih; and the latter asked,"Who are you?"
10056Tsz- lu used always to be humming over the lines--"From envy and enmity free, What deed doth he other than good?"
10056Tsz- lu was averse to this, and said,"You can never go, that is certain; how should you feel you must go to that person?"
10056Tsz- lu, with indignation pictured on his countenance, exclaimed,"And is a gentleman to suffer starvation?"
10056Wang- sun Kiá asked him once,"What says the proverb,''Better to court favor in the kitchen than in the drawing- room''?"
10056Was it not, however, just like him-- that remark of the Chief?"
10056We have complied with all our minister''s propositions-- shall they not, then, accede to ours?
10056Well, are not filial piety and friendly subordination among brothers a root of that right feeling which is owing generally from man to man?"
10056Were I to adopt crooked ways in their service, why need I leave the land where my parents dwell?"
10056Were not my forefathers men?
10056Were the Empress Leuhow alive-- let her utter a word-- which of them would dare to be of a different opinion?
10056What can I say-- a poor fellow like me?
10056What can I say-- a poor fellow like me?
10056What can I say-- a poor fellow like me?
10056What can Liáu do against Destiny?"
10056What can we do?"
10056What course is to be pursued to accomplish this?"
10056What did he indeed do?
10056What does a master, in his methods of teaching, consider first in his precepts?
10056What find we on the Chung- nan hill?
10056What has he to do with the Path of Wisdom?
10056What in his angling did he catch?
10056What is meant by that?"
10056What is the use of all that?"
10056What lady plays there?
10056What need to turn his hand to husbandry?
10056What place is this?
10056What say you of him?"
10056What say you of him?"
10056What the cause?
10056What was his meaning?"
10056What would you think if these, because they had run but fifty paces, should laugh at those who ran a hundred paces?"
10056When Tsz- yu became governor of Wu- shing, the Master said to him,"Do you find good men about you?"
10056When a rhinoceros or tiger breaks out of its cage-- when a jewel or tortoise- shell ornament is damaged in its casket-- whose fault is it?"
10056When have they employed a single day in the service of their prince?
10056When he selects for them such labors as it is possible for them to do, and exacts them, who will then complain?
10056When he was asked about spiritual beings, he remarked,"If we can not even know men, how can we know spirits?"
10056When it does so, who can keep it back?
10056When shall we back from this service be led?
10056When the Master heard of this he remarked,"Does that high official know me?
10056When the music- master had left, Tsz- chang said to him,"Is that the way to speak to the music- master?"
10056When they are so bent, who will be able to keep them back?"
10056When we are gone, who will to them be good?
10056When will he come to heal its smart?
10056When you changed a large one for a small, how should they know the true reason?
10056Where can I fly?
10056Where could be found to share our prince''s state, So fair, so virtuous, and so fit a mate?
10056Where seek repose?
10056Where the ability to govern thus is wanting, what has such a ruler to do with the Rules of Propriety?
10056Which of them need be rinsed?
10056Which of them will drive back for us these foreign troops?
10056Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned?
10056Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned?
10056Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned?
10056Who dares despise your cattle too?
10056Who planned, and helped those slanderers vile, My name with base lies to defile?
10056Whom should I delude, if I were to pretend to have officials under me, having none?
10056Why do we brand him in our satire here?
10056Why such rectification?"
10056Why upon me has come this drought?
10056Why walks no one by these guiding principles?
10056Wi- shang Mau accosted Confucius, saying,"Kiu, how comes it that you manage to go perching and roosting in this way?
10056With dignity in presence of them all, My conduct marked, my goodness who shall scout?
10056Within the precincts of the palace, as without them, who is there but bows before me-- who is there but trembles at my approach?
10056Would he go down after him?"
10056Would they not indeed be sages, who could take in at once the first principles and the final developments of things?"
10056Would you guard it carefully in a casket and store it away, or seek a good price for it and sell it?"
10056Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye?
10056Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye?
10056Ye whom I constantly revere, Why do I this endure?
10056Yen Yu asked him,"Seeing they are so numerous, what more would you do for them?"
10056[_ Hears the lute._] Is not that some lady''s lute?
10056[_ Hears the wild fowl''s[ 2] cry_] Hark, the passing fowl screamed twice or thrice!--Can it know there is no one so desolate as I?
10056[_ Seeing Maouyenshow_] What person are you?
10056and the inferior officers and the common people will say,''What is to be done to profit our persons?''
10056and which need not?
10056and''What of that?''
10056exclaimed the Master,"are we to say that the spirits of T''ai- shan have not as much discernment as Lin Fang?"
10056how long has Tsz- lu''s conduct been false?
10056how shall there be any apprehension?"
10056is an exception to be made here?
10056it is to begin in others?"
10056it was Hwúi, was it not?
10056or are the facts given him?"
10056or because there are not voices and sounds enough to fill your ears?
10056or because you have not enough of attendants and favorites to stand before you and receive your orders?
10056or because you have not enough of beautifully colored objects to satisfy your eyes?
10056or because you have not enough of light and warm clothing for your body?
10056or words carrying only an outward semblance and show of gravity?"
10056said he;"if I am not to do so for him, then-- for whom else?"
10056said he;"not that: he married three rimes, and he was not a man who restricted his official business to too few hands-- how could he be miserly?"
10056the great officers will say,''What is to be done to profit our families?''
10056when shall I again behold your Majesty?
10056whom do I over- praise?
10056~In Praise of a Ruler of Ts''in~ What trees grow on the Chung- nan hill?
10056~The Condition of King Seuen''s Flocks~ Who dares to say your sheep are few?
10056~The King''s Anxiety for His Morning Levée~ How goes the night?
10056~There is a Proper Way for Doing Everything~ In hewing an axe- shaft, how must you act?
34860A. T. fellow, when he go?
34860After all, what can he do?
34860Again, Henry?
34860Am I being very vulgar?
34860And Harry?
34860And a look of peace came on your face as if you were in heaven and you said-- do you know what you said?
34860And break his heart?
34860And if in our hearts we despise and detest what you have to teach us?
34860And is she in love with you?
34860And what will become of your superiority when the yellow man can make as good guns as the white and fire them as straight?
34860And whose fault is it?
34860Are n''t you going to kiss me?
34860Are the Fergusons waiting outside?
34860Are the ladies of Peking giving her the cold shoulder?
34860Are you going on the loose again to- night?
34860Are you sure he''s alive?
34860Are you sure this admiration of yours for all her admirable qualities isn''t-- love?
34860Are you sure you do n''t say that on my account?
34860Are you sure you know how to behave?
34860Are you trying to shield her?
34860Are your passions the weak and vacillating passions of the white man?
34860At what time does the train from Kalgan get in?
34860Because she was divorced on his account, you mean?
34860But do you keep them here?
34860But if I do n''t mind why should you?
34860But what do I care as long as he comes?
34860But wo n''t you find it rather a nuisance to have those old monks on the top of you all the time?
34860But you do like him, do n''t you?
34860By George, is n''t it stunning?
34860By God, what''s this?
34860Can she read English?
34860Could you_ allow_ him to do that?
34860D''you mind if I leave you?
34860Daisy cry velly much if he die?
34860Daisy, how can you be so superstitious?
34860Daisy, what''s the matter?
34860Daisy, what''s the matter?
34860Did I not tell you that the white man''s love was weak and vacillating?
34860Did Mr. Conway tell you?
34860Did he advise you to go?
34860Did n''t you hear anything, Daisy?
34860Did you break with me yesterday so that you might be free to propose to her?
34860Did you give them to Lee Tai to send?
34860Did you see Freddy Baker by any chance?
34860Did you tell him it was very important?
34860Did you think I was going to run away?
34860Did you trip?
34860Do I bore you so much as all that?
34860Do I look jaded?
34860Do n''t you know that I loathe you?
34860Do n''t you know what I shall be?
34860Do n''t you like it?
34860Do n''t you love me any more?
34860Do n''t you remember how, late in the night, we went outside the temple and looked at the moonlight on the walls of the Forbidden City?
34860Do n''t you remember when I first came to Chung- king?
34860Do n''t you see what that means to me?
34860Do n''t you think she''s pretty?
34860Do n''t you think that everyone is the best judge of his own happiness?
34860Do n''t you want to amuse yourself?
34860Do n''t you wish with all your heart that you had n''t married him?
34860Do you call that you, a few conventional prejudices?
34860Do you hear?
34860Do you know her?
34860Do you know it?
34860Do you know that we tried an experiment which is unique in the world?
34860Do you know what I felt for her?
34860Do you know what he wants?
34860Do you know what you said in your delirium?
34860Do you know why I would n''t have a professional nurse and when you were unconscious for two days refused to leave you for a minute?
34860Do you know why, afterwards, at night when you grew delirious I would n''t let Harry watch you?
34860Do you mean to say it''s going to handicap a man in a shipping firm because he''s married a woman who''s partly Chinese?
34860Do you not know that there are in this country four hundred millions of the most practical and industrious people in the world?
34860Do you not know that we have a genius for mechanics?
34860Do you think I am a child to have everything arranged for me without a word?
34860Do you think I can cry now?
34860Do you think I do n''t know you?
34860Do you think I''m a child?
34860Do you think I''m crazy?
34860Do you think I''m going to let you go now?
34860Do you think I''ve done all I have to let you marry that silly little English girl?
34860Do you think a woman cares twopence for a man''s love when she does n''t love him?
34860Do you think he can forget me in four months?
34860Do you think it really is injustice?
34860Do you think it will take us long to learn?
34860Do you think it would have seemed wrong and hateful if it had n''t been for Sylvia?
34860Do you think it''s finished?
34860Do you think my reputation is such a sensitive flower?
34860Do you think that frightens me?
34860Do you think the postmaster in a small Chinese city is a very lucrative position?
34860Do you think there''s much happiness for you there?
34860Do you think they can look at you and forget?
34860Do you think you know me yet?
34860Do you want to go to Europe?
34860Does he know that...?
34860Does that really matter to you very much?
34860Even at night?
34860For me?
34860For what reason are you so confident that you are so superior to us that it behooves us to sit humbly at your feet?
34860Frills?
34860George did n''t come in till late, I suppose?
34860George, George, say that you do n''t mean that?
34860George, what is to become of me if you desert me?
34860George, you wo n''t let it make any difference, will you?
34860Good heavens, no, what do I care about the past?
34860Goodness?
34860Harry spoils me, does n''t he?
34860Harry, Harry, what do I care for Harry?

34860Has it never occurred to you that she was in love with you?
34860Has it never struck you how you came to be wounded that night?
34860Has it occurred to you that the white ladies wo n''t be very nice?
34860Has it struck you that the distance from the verandah to the street is very considerable?
34860Has our civilization been less elaborate, less complicated, less refined than yours?
34860Have I complained?
34860Have n''t you ever seen the Chinese do it?
34860Have n''t you heard?
34860Have n''t you made me unhappy enough?
34860Have n''t you?
34860Have our thinkers been less profound than yours?
34860Have we?
34860Have you any right to make use of information you''ve acquired officially?

34860How do you know Harry received the letters this morning?
34860How do you know he''s at the Carmichaels''?
34860How do you know that Lee Tai sent those wretched letters to Harry?
34860How do you suppose Lee Tai found out something that Harry had particularly told you to keep quiet about?

34860Hulloa, who''s this?
34860Hulloa, who''s this?
34860I ca n''t bring myself to tell him and yet how can I let him marry you in absolute ignorance?
34860I say, Harry no good, what for you wanchee marry?
34860I say, have they caught any of those blighters who tried to kill you?
34860I say, who was Rathbone, Daisy''s first husband, do you know?
34860I say, wo n''t you have a cigar?
34860I shall see you later on in the club, sha''n''t I?
34860I suppose there was a Mr. Rathbone?
34860I suppose you have n''t an idea who I''m talking about?
34860I suppose you''ve absolutely made up your mind?
34860I wait.... What have you to do with white men?
34860I wonder if he can live one day without seeing you?

34860Is there anyone who has a grudge against him?
34860Is this the face that launched a thousand ships?
34860It does need an explanation, does n''t it?
34860It was rather a narrow escape, was n''t it?

34860[_ Good- naturedly._] What experiment is that?
34860[_ Gravely._] Do you never have any feeling that we''ve behaved rottenly to Harry?
34860[_ He seizes her wrists and draws her violently to him._] Daisy, did you send those letters to Harry yourself?
34860[_ Impatiently._] What for you tell me lies?
34860[_ In a low quivering voice._] Why do you say things like that?
34860[_ In a low voice, hardly her own._] Why, Harry, what are you talking about?
34860[_ In the adjoining room._] Are you getting impatient?
34860[_ Interrupting._] Are you really going to- morrow?
34860[_ Jumping up._] How can I sit still?
34860[_ Listening._] What on earth is Harry doing?
34860[_ Looking at her sternly._] How do you think he could get at a knife with his hands tied behind his back?
34860[_ Looking at him._] Why should you do that?
34860[_ Looking at it quickly._] What?
34860[_ Looking at the children._] Are n''t they sweet?
34860[_ Looking at the necklace._] What shall I do with this?
34860[_ Not without irritation._] How did he know you were here?
34860[_ Noticing the orchids._] Someone been sending you flowers?
34860[_ Passionately._] If he was going to leave me like that why did n''t he let me stay with my Chinese mother?
34860[_ Persistently._] How did Lee Tai know that Harry was in Kalgan?
34860[_ Pointing._] What''s that knife doing there?
34860[_ Quickly._] How d''you know?
34860[_ Quickly._] What do you mean?
34860[_ Sarcastically._] Had you left the key of the box on the table?
34860[_ Scornfully._] And do you think I''d let poor Harry be murdered so that I might be free to listen to your generous proposals?
34860[_ Scornfully._] Do you think I''d have gone then?
34860[_ Shaking hands._] How do you do?
34860[_ Sharply._] What d''you want?
34860[_ She beats violently on the door._] Oh, what shall I do?
34860[_ She gives her a kiss on both cheeks._] What are they making such a row about next door?
34860[_ Smiling._] How did your bridge party go off last night?
34860[_ Springing to her feet._] Did you know George was coming?
34860[_ Startled._] You?
34860[_ Suddenly distraught._] You do n''t mean that you''re going to leave me?
34860[_ Sulkily._] Where do you want to go?
34860[_ Sullenly._] How long are you going for?
34860[_ Surprised at her tone and manner._] Is anything the matter, Daisy?
34860[_ Surprised._] Your what?
34860[_ Taking out his watch._] D''you mind if I look at the time?
34860[_ Taking up an opium pipe that is on the table._] Shall Amah make her little Daisy a pipe?
34860[_ Tenderly._] Oh, darling, why do you make yourself unhappy when happiness lies in the hollow of your hand?
34860[_ There is a loud knocking at the door._] Hulloa, who''s that?
34860[_ Thunderstruck._] You?
34860[_ To the old man._] Wu?
34860[_ To the old man._] You sabe?
34860[_ Violently._] Do you think I''m going to let you go so easily?
34860[_ Violently._] How dare you say that?
34860[_ With a chuckle._] How can you talk such nonsense?
34860[_ With a chuckle._] What will you tell him?
34860[_ With a little friendly nod._] How do you do?
34860[_ With a little smile._] What are you locking the door for, George?
34860[_ With a puzzled look at him._] What is the matter?
34860[_ With a roguish look._] Well then, I have n''t been happily married, have I?
34860[_ With a shadow of a smile._] How should I know?
34860[_ With a smile._] Shall I?
34860[_ With a sudden change of tone._] Why not?
34860[_ With a sudden suspicion._] Did you know this was going to happen?
34860[_ With a twinkle in his eyes._] Are you a little frightened?
34860[_ With an effort at ease of manner._] My dear child, what are you talking about?
34860[_ With anguish._] Oh, Daisy, how could you?
34860[_ With great satisfaction._] Paralytic.... Hulloa, who''s this?
34860[_ With increasing violence._] Do you think I can ever look at you again without horror?
34860[_ With scornful rage._] Do you think I''m frightened of Harry?
34860[_ With sudden eager interest._] Are you Mrs. Rathbone''s amah?
34860[_ With sudden indignation._] Without saying a word to me?
48882''Did you know those English at Lahore?'' 48882 ''What is it?''
48882''You could guide us through?'' 48882 ''You have come for it?''
48882Ah, but you have not spoken of this?
48882All the servants are on the beach, then?
48882Am I not?
48882An ancestress of hers, no doubt?
48882And destroyed it, of course?
48882And her hat?
48882And here you are going to remain all night?
48882And how should I know anything? 48882 And if you die in the meantime?
48882And now can you explain it?
48882And show my hand, you mean? 48882 And so that inhuman wretch is Marion''s mother?"
48882And that is all you are going to tell me, Geoffrey?
48882And there she is now?
48882And to- night''s doings are to remain a secret?
48882And what is that?
48882And when I come back do I bring a joyful confession with me?
48882And who is this gentleman?
48882And why are you regarding me so intently? 48882 And why has Marion gone away?"
48882And yet I rather gather that she does not hold first place in your affections?
48882And you do n''t know who she is?
48882And you expect me to believe this, Geoffrey?
48882And you interfered to save the life of others?
48882And you will not have a doctor?
48882And you wo n''t be long?
48882Are there any mysteries?
48882Are they different to ours?
48882Are we never going to do anything?
48882Are you coming with us?
48882Are you feeling better?
48882Are you going to speak or shall I tell the story? 48882 Are you not my friend?
48882Are you really leaving us?
48882Are you sure of that?
48882Are you thinking of the same thing that we are?
48882As far as I am concerned, you mean? 48882 As you do?"
48882But I suppose she came to see you?
48882But can I cultivate her after to- night?
48882But can they?
48882But do you think you were wise to show this to me?
48882But my mother and Geoffrey and----"Ah, you love Geoffrey? 48882 But surely this does not apply to my family?"
48882But the light in the corridor?
48882But was it an accident?
48882But what can I want it for? 48882 But what do they want there?"
48882But who was he, Tchigorsky?
48882But why bring him here?
48882But why does she come?
48882But why not stop it? 48882 But why-- why does this fascinating Asiatic come all those miles to destroy one by one a race that she can scarcely have heard of?
48882But will this mystery and misery never end?
48882But you have not always been blind?
48882But you say that Marion was with Vera?
48882But your curious expression----"What is curious about my expression?
48882By the cruel foe, Marion? 48882 Can you let me out here, or shall I go by the same means that I entered?"
48882Can you manage to keep her afloat?
48882Can you not?
48882Can you see anything?
48882Could it have been the flowers?
48882Could we prove that the foe had had a direct hand in the tragedies of the past? 48882 Dare you open it?"
48882Dare you use it?
48882Darling,he whispered,"you know that I love you?"
48882Dear, do n''t you know that I am devoted heart and soul to your interests? 48882 Did I?"
48882Did Tchigorsky tell you?
48882Did n''t I always say as how he''d get through? 48882 Did she write to you?"
48882Did you call out?
48882Did you ever know me tell you a lie? 48882 Did you know that diary existed?"
48882Did you really love your mother?
48882Did you see her?
48882Do it? 48882 Do n''t you like that woman?"
48882Do n''t you see she is in the dark? 48882 Do you know anything of this?"
48882Do you know you seem to be a long way off to me this afternoon?
48882Do you mean that they perished with that stranger last night?
48882Do you recognize the voice?
48882Do you want anything more?
48882Do you want to say anything to me?
48882Do you want to see me?
48882Does it hurt much?
48882Does n''t it seem wonderful, Geoffrey?
48882Does she account for her presence here?
48882Does the slave reproach the master who keeps his carcass from the kennel?
48882Dr. Tchigorsky is still about?
48882Drowned, with a placid smile on his face, after the fashion of the novel?
48882Foiled her?
48882For Mrs. May''s benefit?
48882For revenge on you two?
48882Geoff, have you any suspicions?
48882Geoff, was it you who snatched the cloth from the table?
48882Geoffrey, Geoffrey, where are you?
48882Geoffrey,Vera said after a long pause,"are we too happy?"
48882Give you what, uncle?
48882Had n''t we better search them?
48882Have I not already explained to you, darling?
48882Have we not trouble and misery enough in our house without making more?
48882Have you been out to the west of Gull Point to- day?
48882Have you discovered it all?
48882Have you learned what the latest villainy is?
48882Have you seen her?
48882He was a very old friend of yours?
48882Hence the changed face and the glasses?
48882Horrible,he said,"but why this mystery?"
48882How can you look me in the face after the way in which you have treated me?
48882How could you prevent them?
48882How did it happen?
48882How did you get here? 48882 How did you get here?"
48882How did you get here?
48882How did you guess that?
48882How did you manage it, uncle?
48882How did you manage it?
48882How is the visitor?
48882How long can one endure this and live? 48882 How long has she been like this?"
48882How long have I been asleep?
48882How long will it last?
48882How long, how long? 48882 How should I?
48882How''s this for a disguise, Master Geoffrey?
48882I am so sorry for you?
48882I am to accompany you, then?
48882I am your prisoner, then?
48882I believe I have the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Ralph Ravenspur?
48882I hope you are comfortable?
48882I need not ask what opinion you have formed of me?
48882I suppose I have to thank Mrs. May for this?
48882I suppose they are a nuisance occasionally?
48882I suppose you can do no more to- night?
48882I suppose you planned everything out?
48882In the name of Heaven, why?
48882In the name of Heaven, why?
48882In the ordinary bar- frame hives of course?
48882In what way?
48882In which direction?
48882Is anything going to happen?
48882Is it a fact?
48882Is it a painless death?
48882Is it as Jessop says?
48882Is it dangerous?
48882Is it possible to be too happy?
48882Is it you, Elphick?
48882Is my cousin Nicholas Tchigorsky? 48882 Is not my pulse steady?
48882Is that because you think my secret is a shameful one?
48882Is that you, Tchigorsky?
48882Is the coast clear?
48882Is the difference very marked?
48882Is there another mystery?
48882Is there any danger?
48882Is there any need to go on? 48882 Is there anything I can do for you?"
48882Is there anything in the morning papers that is likely to interest me, Abell?
48882Is there danger?
48882It is all right?
48882It was not possible for him to be picked up?
48882Lies just outside the window, does n''t he?
48882Marion has come back again?
48882Marion?
48882Marion?
48882May I assist you?
48882May I venture to suggest that the knowledge is not displeasing to you?
48882No more visions lately?
48882Now what am I to do?
48882Now, I put it to you as a lady of brains and courage, if you had been in my position, would you have shown that to your family?
48882Now, ca n''t you come up some evening and dine with me? 48882 Of course you ascertained her name?"
48882Of what use is a blind man?
48882Oh, so you know that also?
48882Oh, will you never wake up?
48882Oh, yes, uncle; are you a wizard or what? 48882 On the floor, my dear uncle?"
48882Read your fortune in the stars? 48882 See whom?"
48882Shall I go and see what it is?
48882So that we are rid of our foes at last?
48882So this is the Alton where you are going to- night?
48882So you have been successful?
48882So you have been taken into her confidence?
48882Solved?
48882Something has happened?
48882Something to do with it?
48882Straight to Jessop''s farm?
48882Tchigorsky has disappeared?
48882Tchigorsky not dead?
48882Tchigorsky?
48882Tell me what it means, Geoff?
48882Tell me what the language says?
48882That you propose to do?
48882The marks on my face? 48882 The princess is convinced of that?"
48882Then he has not been here to- day?
48882Then my friend Tchigorsky is alive?
48882Then the princess goes not back to Lassa?
48882Then they are usually dangerous?
48882Then who was it that was buried?
48882Then why did he come here?
48882Then why do you take every means of thwarting me?
48882Then why not drop upon them?
48882Then why should you worry?
48882Then you are not going to take any notice of the warning?
48882Then you have no theory to offer?
48882Then you have not guessed?
48882Then, in that case, sir, why do n''t you?
48882There is nobody about?
48882There is nobody within earshot of us?
48882There was one traveler who found the key, you remember?
48882They are great friends?
48882They guess I am a victim to the vendetta?
48882They managed to elude you?
48882Uncle Ralph, do you know what it is?
48882Uncle, how did you guess that?
48882Uncle,she stammered,"what are you doing here?"
48882Very,Geoffrey said dryly;"but where is Marion?"
48882Was it imported for the purpose?
48882Was she young and good looking?
48882Was that not so, Vera?
48882Wass and Watkins, will you come with me?
48882Well, I suppose I must go, too?
48882Well, was the adventure this evening creepy enough for you?
48882Well, what am I to do with it?
48882Well,Tchigorsky asked,"have you solved the problem?"
48882Well,he said,"have you anything wonderful to relate?"
48882Well?
48882Well?
48882Were you ever in Tibet?
48882What am I to understand by that, sir?
48882What are you doing?
48882What are you going to do with me?
48882What are you going to do?
48882What are you going to do?
48882What are you looking for?
48882What are you thinking about?
48882What became of the fellow?
48882What better proof could the slave of my illustrious mistress have?
48882What can an unfortunate like that have to live for?
48882What can it matter whether there is an inquest held on them or not? 48882 What could we gain by that?
48882What did it mean?
48882What did you think of the episode?
48882What difference does it make?
48882What do you make that out to be?
48882What do you mean by that?
48882What do you mean by that?
48882What do you propose to do?
48882What do you say, Uncle Ralph?
48882What do you with your gentle nature know of love? 48882 What does all this mystery mean?"
48882What does it all mean?
48882What does it matter?
48882What does it mean, Marion?
48882What does it mean, uncle?
48882What good would that do?
48882What have I done?
48882What is all this about?
48882What is her hold over Marion?
48882What is it, what is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is it?
48882What is that choking smell?
48882What is that noise?
48882What is the confusion in the house?
48882What is the matter with the girl?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the matter?
48882What is the next move?
48882What is your name?
48882What matter?
48882What shall you do about it?
48882What should be the matter?
48882What should they want? 48882 What should we do without you?"
48882What was she doing?
48882What will be her fate?
48882What would Vera say?
48882What''s the matter, little girl?
48882What, go away and leave me all alone, dearest?
48882What, indeed?
48882When does he come here?
48882Where am I?
48882Where are they going?
48882Where are you going to sleep?
48882Where are you going to take me?
48882Where are you going?
48882Where are you?
48882Where did I leave off? 48882 Where did I leave off?"
48882Where did she go?
48882Where have you been?
48882Where they are attached to a queer- looking instrument?
48882Who are you and whence do you come?
48882Who are you, and whence do you come?
48882Who are you?
48882Who are you?
48882Who are you?
48882Who can she be?
48882Who could fail to?
48882Who did it?
48882Who gave you this, and what is your message?
48882Who is she?
48882Who is the new marvel?
48882Who is the woman? 48882 Who is there?"
48882Who knows but that she had discovered some plot against us and had come to warn us? 48882 Who laid this labyrinth?"
48882Who opened the window?
48882Who was it who tampered with the boat?
48882Who was the victim, uncle?
48882Who will help me upstairs? 48882 Why do n''t you denounce me now?"
48882Why do you drag me here?
48882Why do you intrude upon me like this? 48882 Why not produce your proofs and hand the miscreants over to the police?"
48882Why not? 48882 Why not?
48882Why not?
48882Why should they have fascinated us in that strange way? 48882 Why should we sit here like this?"
48882Why should you all live and prosper while he was dead?
48882Why should you do this thing?
48882Why your fault? 48882 Why?"
48882Why?
48882Why?
48882Why?
48882Will it ever be lifted, sir?
48882Will it sound strange to you to hear that I long and yearn for you always; that I still love those whom I would have destroyed? 48882 Will she die?"
48882Will somebody ring the bell?
48882Will you tell him so? 48882 Wo n''t you tell me now?"
48882Wo n''t you tell me what has happened?
48882Woman?
48882Would she recognize us? 48882 Would the Ravenspurs outrage the sacred name of hospitality like that?
48882Yes, but what had the dream and the powder to do with it, little girl?
48882You are better?
48882You are getting near the truth?
48882You are going to London alone?
48882You are in Dr. Tchigorsky''s confidence?
48882You are interested in the Ravenspur case?
48882You are not afraid of the family terror?
48882You are sure you can not get up?
48882You are under the impression that I am not English?
48882You dare ask me that question?
48882You did not tell those servants their fortunes in your present garb?
48882You do not care for white flowers?
48882You find it strange?
48882You found her charming?
48882You got it, eh?
48882You had a good look at it, then?
48882You have found the culprit?
48882You have no hope, no expectation of the truth coming to light?
48882You have not given up all hope?
48882You have not guessed who the Princess is, then?
48882You have proofs of what you say?
48882You heard all this?
48882You heard her, then?
48882You knew the day you got here?
48882You say it is impossible for that woman to get away?
48882You say this is the place?
48882You wanted to see my father?
48882You wo n''t betray yourself?
48882You, Marion? 48882 ''Did you ever know a Russian traveler, Voski by name? 48882 ''Do you know her, too?'' 48882 ''Dogs, do you want to live?'' 48882 ''What are the five points of the temple there?'' 48882 ''What of him?'' 48882 Ah, what did I tell you? 48882 Am I always to carry the family troubles on my shoulders?
48882Am I never to have a minute to myself?
48882Am I not an object of pity?
48882Am I to believe that you are not going to be true to your oath?"
48882Am I to regard myself as a prisoner, then?"
48882And Marion?"
48882And how could he broach the matter of Tchigorsky without betraying Marion?
48882And how many times has Vera seen me kiss you?
48882And if I did lose you, darling, what would become of me?"
48882And now will you promise me that you will say nothing of this to a soul?"
48882And the others?"
48882And was not Marion equally mysterious?
48882And was she not here----here a guest among those who for some reason she hated from her soul?
48882And was this the wildest comedy or the direst tragedy that was working out before his eyes?
48882And what are you doing with that feminine- looking box?"
48882And what could the bees have to do with it?
48882And what did that light mean?
48882And where has the fellow gone?"
48882And where was Marion?
48882And why did everybody leave her so severely alone?
48882And why do they commit follies with their eyes wide open?
48882And why had Marion not returned?
48882And why should these people persecute him; why should they come here?
48882And why waste the breath that would be so precious to him later?
48882And yet where could he get the poison?
48882Any color?"
48882Are you going home?"
48882Are you going?"
48882Are you ready?"
48882Are you right?
48882Are you still suffering from a headache?"
48882Are you, Tchigorsky?"
48882But had Marion a sister?"
48882But how are we going to get rid of those things?"
48882But what are you doing?"
48882But what brings them here?
48882But what has Mrs. May to do with it?"
48882But what room did she go into?"
48882But where are you going?"
48882But who would believe my accusation?"
48882But why do you speak like this to- day?"
48882But why do you want to have that woman under the roof?"
48882But why go on like this?
48882But why not meet him in daylight in a proper and natural manner?"
48882But would n''t it be well to make sure?"
48882By the way, have you concocted a plausible story to account for your escape?"
48882By the way, what is it I hear about your finding a body down on the sands?"
48882CHAPTER LI"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?"
48882CHAPTER LVII HAND AND FOOT What did it mean?
48882CHAPTER XV RALPH RAVENSPUR''S CONCEIT"I should like to know why you wanted the ivory picture?"
48882CHAPTER XVII WHENCE DID THEY COME?
48882Ca n''t you tell me a little more?
48882Can the leopard change his spots?
48882Can you be any the worse because you are bound by some tie to that woman yonder?
48882Can you stand there calmly and see----""See you making an ass of yourself, eh?
48882Could I have the heart to do so after all you have done for my family?
48882Could I see one of those charming girls, Miss Vera or Marion?
48882Could she recognize me?"
48882Could the mind of man imagine a more diabolical torture?
48882Could we demonstrate to the satisfaction of a jury that Mrs. May and her confederates were responsible for those poisoned flowers or the bees?
48882Dear Geoff, will it be long before all this anxiety is disposed of?"
48882Did I not possess the occult knowledge of the East with a thorough knowledge of what you are pleased to call Western civilization?
48882Did I not tell you that the attempt had been made and had failed?
48882Did Ralph know everything, or was he as ignorant as the rest?
48882Did not Princess Zaza pick you both out at Lassa?"
48882Did the people of the castle suspect her?
48882Did this man know the terrible position he had placed her in?
48882Did you ever see Tibet bees?"
48882Did you hear anything they were saying?"
48882Did you manage to get a clue to what it was?"
48882Did you notice anything as you came along?"
48882Did you notice the eyes of the Princess?"
48882Do n''t we all love you the same?
48882Do n''t you remember my telling you how the princess spoke of him?
48882Do n''t you remember?"
48882Do n''t you see that they have missed me?"
48882Do n''t you think it was a queer thing?"
48882Do n''t you think that Jessop''s lodger must be a very extravagant kind of woman?"
48882Do n''t you understand that she suspects she has been trapped?
48882Do you know anything of this, I say?"
48882Do you know who the guilty creature is, whose hand is actually striking the blow?"
48882Do you mean to say you know what it is?"
48882Do you propose to make the capture to- night?"
48882Do you really mean that?"
48882Do you recognize anything beyond the legitimate perfume?"
48882Do you see anything else here?"
48882Do you suppose that I could ever forget the love and affection that have been poured upon me?
48882Do you understand what I mean?"
48882Do you want anything?"
48882Does he court defeat at the outset of our enterprise?"
48882Does it not seem funny to realize that before long we shall be laughing and chatting and moving with the world once more, Geoff?
48882Does it not sound strange?
48882Does my face tell you nothing?"
48882Geoffrey, are you indifferent to myself and my future that you speak like this?"
48882Geoffrey, you are fond of novel reading?"
48882Geoffrey, you will see that all proper arrangements are made for the funeral?"
48882Get inspiration from the heavenly bodies to combat the power of darkness?"
48882Grandfather, you would not turn him away?"
48882Had he left it in the dining- room or the library?
48882Had he not arranged it so that a score of savants in Europe should learn the truth within a month of his decease?
48882Had he not said that everything hinged upon her reticence and silence?
48882Had he not seen her return after the boat had been beached and mourn over the wreck like some creature suffering from deep remorse?
48882Had he not seen the girl hastening away from his boat?
48882Had her subordinates heard her cry?
48882Had not she a secret in common with Ralph?
48882Had she really seen this thing or had she dreamed it?
48882Had she said too much or did he suspect?
48882Had the affair miscarried and the miscreants got away in some other direction?
48882Had they fled, or had they been taken?
48882Had you not a daughter?"
48882Has Mrs. May a companion hidden somewhere, a companion who might be Marion''s sister?"
48882Has Vera been arguing with the bees again?"
48882Has anything happened here?"
48882Has the stuff any particular smell?"
48882Have I been mistaken in you, Vera?"
48882Have you a heart at all, or are you a beautiful fiend?"
48882Have you any doubt?"
48882Have you discovered that, Tchigorsky?"
48882Have you done that?"
48882Have you no feeling?"
48882He was poisoned, you think?"
48882How did he die?
48882How did he escape?"
48882How did it all happen?
48882How did you manage to deal him that blow on the head, uncle?"
48882How did you manage to get away, Geoffrey?"
48882How do you think my sketch is progressing?
48882How long are you going to detain me here?"
48882How long have you known her?"
48882How much did she know?
48882How much had she guessed?
48882How much more of this is it possible to bear and still retain the powers of reason?
48882How?"
48882I do n''t know whether you know the man-- his name is Tchigorsky?"
48882I suppose you recognized the risks that you ran?''
48882I will kill them off-- they shall die----""As my mistress slew her husband when his life was of no more value to her?"
48882If they had fled, had they removed the instruments with them?
48882Is Marion connected with her?"
48882Is it not strange that I have the seeds of the same complaint?"
48882Is it possible that he suspected anything?
48882Is there a fire laid here?"
48882Is there anything else?"
48882Is-- is it dangerous?"
48882Jessop?"
48882Marion, where are your tender feelings?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882May?"
48882Mr. Ravenspur, surely you have guessed who was the English officer Princess Zara married?"
48882Need I say more?"
48882Now do you understand what it all means?"
48882Now, do you begin to understand the malignity of the plot?
48882Or was he the poor creature he represented himself to be?
48882Ralph, can you induce your father and the whole family to go away for a time-- say till after dark?"
48882Ralph, do you know anything?"
48882Ralph, everybody has retired?"
48882Ralph, what is it?
48882Ravenspur, are you ready?"
48882See, is there blood on this knife?"
48882Shall I see your father?"
48882Shall I tell you how?"
48882Shall we enlighten Master Geoffrey a little as to the kind of woman she is?"
48882Shall we go to bed?"
48882Shall we see if we can get as far as Sprawl Point and back before luncheon?"
48882She was trapped, eh?"
48882She wrote to you, of course?"
48882So Tchigorsky is in danger, eh?
48882Surely her grief must be beyond the common?
48882Surely, you do not need to be told why you are detained?"
48882Tchigorsky?"
48882Tell me, do you ever see this Mrs. May by any chance?"
48882They had something with them?"
48882To strike him down foully had been too dangerous, for had he not told her that he was prepared for that kind of death?
48882Was he dangerous enough to be removed?
48882Was he telling the truth, or was he spying on her?
48882Was it possible that some such horrible thoughts had crossed Marion''s mind?
48882Was n''t it plucky of her?"
48882Was she entirely in the dark as to her mother''s machinations, or had she come resolved to protect the relatives as much as possible?
48882Was she still in the vaults or had she managed to slip away to her bedroom?
48882We are alone?"
48882Well, are you going to convey us to a place of safety, or shall we shoot you like the others?''"
48882What am I saying?"
48882What are they going to do now?"
48882What are you going to do about it?"
48882What are you to me?"
48882What are you?
48882What can Marion''s queer ancestors and all that kind of thing have to do with our family terror?"
48882What could have become of him?
48882What could it mean?
48882What could the mysterious foe hope to gain by this merciless slaughter?
48882What did it mean, what strange mystery was here?
48882What did it mean?
48882What did the other girl wear?"
48882What did this girl know about him, and why did she stand wailing over his boat?
48882What did those men mean by drowning themselves in the vaults?
48882What do we know of them?
48882What do you make of it, uncle?"
48882What do you mean?''
48882What do you see outside?"
48882What does it matter what I do?"
48882What flowers?"
48882What had become of the coat and glass mask she was wearing at the time things went wrong in Geoffrey Ravenspur''s room?
48882What happened?"
48882What has become of her?"
48882What have I to fear now from those wise men of the East?
48882What have you two been quarreling about?"
48882What next?
48882What should we do without her?"
48882What should we do without you?
48882What should we do without your cheerfulness and good advice?
48882What time is it?"
48882What to do next?
48882What use is the Ravenspur property to us when we are doomed to die?"
48882What was going on?
48882What was going to happen next?
48882What was it?"
48882What was it?"
48882What was the use of calling so long as nobody could hear him?
48882What would the estimable Jessop say if he could see into his parlor?"
48882When we get Voski''s body, what shall we do with it?"
48882Whence come these cruel misfortunes?
48882Where are the bees?"
48882Where are those scripts?''
48882Where are you going, dear?"
48882Where are your proofs?"
48882Where had he heard a laugh like that before?
48882Who can help the wayward driftings of a woman''s heart?
48882Who could connect the poor blind man with the deed?
48882Who did it?"
48882Who is it?"
48882Who shall comprehend the waywardness of a woman''s heart?
48882Who was this man who knew so much and could probe her secret soul?
48882Who, then, is the prime mover in this business?"
48882Why are clever people often so foolish?
48882Why do we never hear of that sort of poison nowadays?"
48882Why do you feel for things in that way?"
48882Why does she do it, Tchigorsky?"
48882Why draw the veil aside when even a few hours''peace stood between them and the terror which sooner or later must sap the reason of every one there?
48882Why had his uncle and the mysterious Tchigorsky taken him so far into their confidence and then failed him at the critical moment?
48882Why had she not thought of this before?
48882Why not end her life now?
48882Why not kill off her husband''s family one by one so that finally the estates should come to her?
48882Why not let them enter and then take them all red- handed?"
48882Why should I go on leading my present life?
48882Why should I shield you?
48882Why should this blow fall after the lapse of all these years?
48882Why should you say that?"
48882Why was there all this commotion in the house?
48882Why, then, should Marion be disturbed?
48882Why, then, should her good name be dragged in the mire?
48882Why?
48882Why?"
48882Why?"
48882Why?"
48882Will you please take the letter without letting anybody know what you are doing, and put it at the foot of the big elder in the tangle?
48882Will you, dear?"
48882Wo n''t you do this thing?
48882Wo n''t you say that it is a sudden whim of yours?
48882Wonderfully artistic, is n''t it?"
48882Would it never stop?
48882Would the time to act never come?
48882Would you have your enemies to guess that you have seen my master?
48882Would you like to see the letter?
48882Would you say that the condemned murderer was rash for attempting to pick the pocket of the gaoler, even for attempting to murder him?
48882Would you take pity upon my loneliness and come to tea?"
48882You are better, sir?"
48882You are not afraid of danger?"
48882You are not afraid?"
48882You are still interested in occult matters?"
48882You follow me?"
48882You have not far to go, of course?"
48882You have sent him somewhere, uncle?"
48882You hear?"
48882You know nothing of the boy?"
48882You know why I am here?"
48882You would n''t think she was a woman whose heart is in a weak state, eh?"
48882You would not reproach me, Ben Heer?"
48882Your friend here?"
48882can you hear anything?"
48882is there no mercy for us?"
28780''Sthat you, Sparks?
28780A part of what?
28780Aerial do n''t leak, does it?
28780Ah-- do you mind if I ask a few questions? 28780 All what?"
28780Am I?
28780And does the brave one admire my sarong?
28780And how much do I owe you, small one?
28780And leave you behind? 28780 And they have taken her to Len Yang?"
28780And what has become of your prudence? 28780 And you imagine you''re running no risk with the two golden- haired maids in tow?"
28780And you''ll get that silly old notion of a bungalow for two out of your head?
28780And you? 28780 Are n''t you connected with my good friend, the man with the sea- lion mustaches, in Len Yang?"
28780Are n''t you glad-- aren''t you a little bit glad-- to see me-- me?
28780Are n''t you going to explain-- anything? 28780 Are you armed?"
28780Are you awake?
28780Are you going on to Len Yang this time, Peter?
28780Are you grateful to me, you two? 28780 Are you rested?
28780Are you-- Peter Moore, known in some parts of China as-- Peter the Brazen?
28780Are-- you are not joking, are you, Miss Borria? 28780 Are-- you-- Peter-- Moore?"
28780Because I love you so?
28780Because of me?
28780Because you loved me so?
28780But how did you know?
28780But what does this mean-- this?
28780But why all the hubbub about Peter Moore?
28780But why are you telling such things to me, my brave one?
28780But why did you send for them? 28780 But why does he want beautiful young girls for his mine, my son?"
28780But why the Jap-- disguise? 28780 But why,_ bi_--my brave one?"
28780But why-- why does he beat you? 28780 But you''re not sure-- now?"
28780But, Miss Borria,writhed Peter,"why, with all this knowledge, has n''t he done away with me?
28780Ca n''t we break away from this mob and have a little chin- chin by ourselves?
28780Can a man live with a bullet in his heart?
28780Can do?
28780Can it be possible----?
28780Can it interest you? 28780 Can we see them?"
28780Can you forgive me for this-- way I have acted, my-- my ingratitude?
28780Can you swim-- at all?
28780Chinamen? 28780 Chinks?"
28780Cinnabar from his mine is brought down the Yangtze on junks and transferred at Soo- chow?
28780Complete our plans?
28780Dead or alive, Peter?
28780Did n''t tamper with the bullets, eh?
28780Did they harm you?
28780Did you ever put your arm around another woman before?
28780Do n''t I act like an amateur?
28780Do n''t you know it breaks a government rule when that room''s empty-- at sea?
28780Do n''t you suppose a woman would do almost as well?
28780Do n''t you suppose my curiosity was aroused when you threw the coolie overboard? 28780 Do n''t_ you_ ever feel lonely-- like this?"
28780Do you hear, Naradia?
28780Do you mean, how does one reach Len Yang?
28780Do you mean-- static? 28780 Do you remember those wonderful days and evenings we spent together on the Java Sea, on the old_ Persian Gulf_?
28780Do you?
28780Do-- do you l- love her as much as th- this?
28780Do-- do you mind very-- much?
28780Does your heart ache, too, Peter?
28780Drugs?
28780Eh? 28780 Election bet?"
28780Empty?
28780Feel the motion?
28780Follow_ lan- sà ®_ veil-- savvy?
28780Foolish?
28780For these few minutes, when we were to chatter, and make love, and be happy?
28780Forty?
28780Fourteen days from Shanghai to Len Yang?
28780From where?
28780From_ him_?
28780Good God, who said anything about being a watchdog?
28780Good enough; but will they be careful afterward?
28780Has China got the best of you, Peter?
28780Has the lookout reported any ship in the past hour excepting the_ Rover_?
28780Has your grandmother a sampan, a trustworthy coolie?
28780Have I been interfering with the lawful pursuits of the Chinese Empire?
28780Have you a costume?
28780Have you good hearing?
28780Have you seen Miss Vost?
28780Have you stopped them?
28780He pays well, my son?
28780He-- is dead?
28780How did you get here alive?
28780How did you guess?
28780How is Peggy?
28780I am quite powerless?
28780I need no guide, then? 28780 I?
28780I? 28780 I?"
28780If I decide yes-- or if I decide no-- how can I defend myself?
28780If the_ fokie_ returns with that message, you will write a short note----"To one you love?
28780If your hero resents my robbing him of one stingy, little kiss---- Band? 28780 In search of more adventure and romance?
28780Is that Peter Moore? 28780 Is that all?"
28780Is that the_ Rover_ on our port quarter?
28780Is that why you are growing a beard-- to surprise--_him_?
28780Is-- he-- on-- board?
28780Is-- is my end so close?
28780It says that?
28780Keep away-- ai?

28780Lo Ong,stated Moore,"my wanchee you keep mouth shut-- allatime shut-- you savvy?"
28780Lookin''for information?
28780MacLaurin? 28780 May I ask: Who are you?"
28780May I see her-- once-- before I die?
28780Meaning-- me?
28780Mr. Minion, what is Len Yang? 28780 Mynheer,"he began in a somewhat constrained voice, low and richly guttural,"it iss known to you vat took place on der ship some dam during der nacht?
28780Naradia,he continued, lowering his voice gently,"now that Peter Moore and I are at last together, will you excuse us?
28780No come buy?
28780No escape?
28780No go Hong Kong way?
28780Noticed anything else?
28780Now, where, oh where, do I fit in this scheme?
28780Of course you refused? 28780 Of that?"
28780Once-- means''yes?'' 28780 Perhaps you can tell me what became of the man who opened my door?"
28780Peter, ca n''t you realize what a dreary life I''ve led since that night you ran away from me in Hong Kong? 28780 Peter, is that cork_ awfully_ obstinate?"
28780Peter, tell me, why is it? 28780 Peter, tell me----""Yes, Romola?"
28780Quite sure he imports them to work in the mines?
28780River boat-- for Ching- Fu?
28780Romola, will you answer a question?
28780Say, you young prize- fighter,he sputtered,"you drunk?
28780Shall we take a car- ride?
28780Should n''t you have an operating- room?
28780Since you do know that somebody is being kidnapped on this ship----"What in hell do you mean?
28780So this is love?
28780So, after all, you refuse to take my counsel, my advice, seriously?
28780Speak English, eh?
28780Speak God''s language, eh?
28780Stag what?
28780Stay allatime on_ King Asia_?
28780That was why you happened along the bund about the time the boat came up- river?
28780That will be safe, that sampan?
28780The doctor? 28780 The red note?"
28780The up- river trip?
28780The wireless operator? 28780 Then you did n''t know I was on my way to China?"
28780Then you will go up- river with me?
28780Then you will stay in this room until we leave?
28780Then, why,demanded Eileen, giving him a hungry little look,"did n''t you let me stay in Shanghai?"
28780They are still anxious for you to come with them?
28780This is your first trip?
28780This-- is_ adieu_--or_ au revoir_?
28780To Canton, too?
28780To permit me to live and love until one to- morrow morning?
28780To you?
28780To-- Bobbie?
28780Unless what?
28780V-- V-- V-- V---- What station is that? 28780 Wanchee money-- cumshaw?"

28780Want a shore station for a while?
28780Want me to finish your trick?
28780We are safe, brave one?
28780Well, could n''t you stir up something? 28780 Well, what of it?"
28780Well?
28780Well?
28780Were you in the loft above Ah Sih King''s?
28780What am I doing here? 28780 What am I forgetting?"
28780What are we going to do?
28780What are you prowlin''around ship this time o''night for, eh? 28780 What can I do?
28780What did I say?
28780What do you mean by that? 28780 What do you mean?"
28780What do you mean?
28780What does he want?
28780What does this little girl mean to you?
28780What does_ he_ care about the mines? 28780 What happened?
28780What have I that this maiden desires?
28780What have you done with her?
28780What have you to say now?
28780What if I am?
28780What is a thousand taels to him? 28780 What is it?"
28780What is my task?
28780What is the matter?
28780What is to become of us?
28780What shall I say?
28780What the hell do you want?
28780What under the seven suns are you doing in Ching- Fu-- and Kialang-- and China? 28780 What was I about to say?
28780What will become of you?
28780What''s botherin''you? 28780 What''s new?
28780What''s next?
28780What''s on your mind, Jen?
28780What''s that?
28780What''s this?
28780What''s to become of you? 28780 What''s''at?"
28780What-- what for?
28780What?
28780When did you see Miss Vost?
28780Where are they?
28780Where are you? 28780 Where did you find it?"
28780Where do I eat? 28780 Where do you want me to t- take you?"
28780Where does your aged grandmother live, small one?
28780Where is Len Yang?
28780Where now, Peter?
28780Where?
28780Who are the occupants of stateroom forty- four?
28780Who are you?
28780Who is on watch? 28780 Who is there?"
28780Who, my son?
28780Why are beautiful women-- girls-- from all parts of the world stolen-- to work in that mine?
28780Why are you dressed as a Jap?
28780Why are you following me?
28780Why are you in Ching- Fu? 28780 Why did n''t you ask me?"
28780Why did n''t you tell me you were in danger? 28780 Why did you do that?"
28780Why did you do that?
28780Why do n''t you join them? 28780 Why is Miss Vost making the trip to Ching- Fu?"
28780Why is he drunk?
28780Why not?
28780Why should I go to Liauchow?
28780Why should I? 28780 Why should he stab me?"
28780Why speak of death on a day like this?
28780Why you up so early-- or so late? 28780 Why?"
28780Will there be a row?
28780Will there be another time, Peter?
28780Will we let husband go along?
28780Will you help me-- now?
28780With me?
28780Wo n''t I see you again? 28780 Wo n''t you take me?"
28780Would you mind sort of summing up what you''ve just said?
28780You Wanchee cumshaw?
28780You allatime go Hong Kong way?
28780You and I?
28780You are not married-- to Eileen?
28780You are safe? 28780 You came for me, Peter?"
28780You did try?
28780You do n''t care about this Professor Hodgson, do you?
28780You do n''t happen to know,put in Peter ironically,"what Miss Lorimer had for breakfast this morning, by any chance?"
28780You do n''t mind?
28780You have asked him questions?
28780You have decided nothing, then?
28780You have not forgotten-- Kowloon,_ busar satu_?
28780You have some knowledge of my encounters with-- dragons?
28780You keep away-- ai?
28780You know nodding of dot business, young man?
28780You like dis ship, eh?
28780You made this-- for me?
28780You see?
28780You stay with me, do you hear?
28780You tell man- man, eh?
28780You used a coil?
28780You wanchee my?
28780You wanted to find out if I still cared enough for you to----"Follow me? 28780 You will not leave this ship?
28780You''re not anxious, Peter?
28780You''re not hurt-- either of you? 28780 You''re taking the_ Hankow_ up- river to- morrow?"
28780You-- what was that?
28780You-- who are so thirsty for the gold of romance?
28780You-- you wo n''t bring that dreadful automatic revolver of yours loaded-- will you?
28780Young girls?
28780Your husband''s nationality?
28780Your son? 28780 _ Birahi_,"she said in her tinkling voice, and with gravity far in advance of her summers,"we must part now-- forever?"
28780_ Ja_? 28780 _ Ta dzoh sh[=e]n m[=o] szi_?"
28780_ Why_ should_ I_ go to Liauchow?
28780... Do you imagine I ever cared for that puppy?
28780A day?
28780A half million gold a year?
28780A life?
28780An end of the glorious adventures whose trail he had followed now for well upon ten years?
28780An hour of life?
28780An hour?
28780And I rather liked the two little girls-- twins, are n''t they?"
28780And he will carry on your work?"
28780And how?
28780And then-- death?
28780And then-- what?
28780And where is it?"
28780And who is Len Yang?"
28780And wiser men than Peter have answered: What can be so harmful?
28780And, Eileen----""Yes, Peter?"
28780Answer: What am I?"
28780Any one back there?"
28780Anything wrong?"
28780Are n''t you running some risk, though?
28780Are we in a trap?"
28780Are you Peter Moore?"
28780Are you armed?"
28780At heart, do you really hate him, as you pretend, or are you simply bowing down to your vanity, to the pride you seem to take in these quixotic deeds?
28780At one---- A fighting chance?
28780At present will you trust me as I trust you?"
28780B. Whalen, the Marconi supervisor?"
28780Bellowing inquiry came down to them:"Who is that?
28780Both girls safe?"
28780But I could have defended myself easily enough if it had not been for----""Your clip of cartridges?
28780But are you acquainted with that man''s methods?
28780But how-- what?"
28780But the others, the black- coated one-- what of them?
28780But there is no danger-- is there?"
28780But what is there left in my life?
28780But what was happening?
28780But where was the crew of the_ Vandalia_?
28780But why, Peter, did you attack poor Kahn Meng?
28780But why----""Peter, I''ve gone to more trouble to- night than you realize, perhaps----""What do you want me to do?"
28780But why?
28780But why?
28780But, Mr. Moore, do you believe in love at first sight?"
28780But-- what difference?
28780By dawn, if I am not there, it will mean----""Death?"
28780Ca n''t you and I have tea to- morrow afternoon?"
28780Ca n''t you, Peter?
28780Call it infatuation, call it a rush of blood to my foolish young head, call it anything you like----""Why do n''t you stop all this?"
28780Can I have her?"
28780Can you believe I have lied?"
28780Can you ever forgive me for taking them out?
28780Can you forgive me?
28780Can you understand me?
28780Crazy?
28780Death?
28780Death?
28780Did he possess good papers?
28780Did n''t I try?
28780Did n''t you say that to yourself, Peter?"
28780Did she have some message to convey to him that she could not trust to the openness of the bund at the jetty?
28780Did that fellow get you?"
28780Did they harm you?
28780Did you enjoy-- the game?
28780Did you ever see a hero wearing a plain black four- in- hand?
28780Did you ever see a hero wearing nice tan oxfords without a spot of mud on them?
28780Did you ever see such a Chinaman?"
28780Did you succeed?
28780Do I speak the truth?"
28780Do n''t you realize it?
28780Do n''t you think you are exposing those two nice girls unnecessarily to danger?"
28780Do n''t you understand?
28780Do n''t you?"
28780Do you hear me?
28780Do you imagine my men were not in his camp?
28780Do you know that his corrupt influence has extended into every nation of Asia?
28780Do you know what happens to white women when they are stranded, penniless, friendless, in this country?"
28780Do you know where Bobbie MacLaurin is?"
28780Do you mean what I said about Liauchow?"
28780Do you mind if I tell you, Eileen, that it broke my heart when I realized that we would n''t see one another for goodness knows how long a time?"
28780Do you remember those evenings, Peter, under the moon and the Southern Cross?"
28780Do you still love her?"
28780Do you understand that, Peter Moore?"
28780Do you understand?
28780Do-- do you think I would make you unhappy?"
28780Does it hum-- or what?"
28780Does n''t it-- appeal to you-- just a little-- to be all alone with me for nearly a hundred miles?"
28780Does not that appeal to you?"
28780Does that sound like heroics?
28780Eh, Peter?"
28780Eh?"
28780Emiguel Borria, ardent tool of the Gray Dragon?
28780Emiguel Borria, husband of the girl Romola?
28780Ever hear of one?"
28780Ever?"
28780Expect me to believe that, too, eh?"
28780Get that-- you yellow weasel?"
28780Going to make a break for it, too?"
28780Had Captain Jones consented to and perhaps aided in this mid- river tryst?
28780Had he been observing perhaps the word but not the letter of his self- assumed oath?
28780Had his red- faced pursuer caught up in time?
28780Had it been possible for the Mongolian to signal his master in Len Yang and receive an answer while the_ Hankow_ lay at Ichang?
28780Had she been staring, not at him, but beyond him, over the miles to a detestable scene, a view of horror?
28780Had that noble soul been snatched down by the River of Golden Sands?
28780Had this stuttering static anything in kind with those other formless events?
28780Have I said that this was St. Valentine''s Day?
28780Have I seen him to ask questions?"
28780Have I talked to you in vain?
28780Have one of my ropes?"
28780Have you heard a broken down auxiliary asking for help?
28780Have you listened in?"
28780Have you such a knife?"
28780Have you them?"
28780Have you told him help is coming?"
28780He owns other mines?"
28780How could Peter say no?
28780How could he, alone, armed only with an automatic revolver, hope to overpower professional riflemen who numbered at the least forty?
28780How did I get in?
28780How does that appeal to you?"
28780How had the Gray Dragon brought pressure upon the American ambassador, a man of the highest repute, of sterling and patriotic qualities?
28780How long have I waited for such an opportunity?
28780How long?
28780How long?
28780How will you explain?"
28780How would the spirit of that mob react to the announcement?
28780How''s the air?
28780Huh?"
28780I beg pardon?"
28780I have come back to China, not to start trouble, but simply because-- well, why are you in China?"
28780I thought-- but what does it matter what I thought?"
28780I trust----""Why?"
28780I-- I''d like----""Then why do n''t you?"
28780I-- I----""What have you done to these people?
28780I?
28780I_ am_ sure''""There''s little more to say, then, is there?"
28780If he desired to run away from this very actual danger in which direction could he run?
28780If it is written that I am to die, why give Death cause to be angry?
28780If not, what terrified creature was invoking his aid in this blundering fashion?
28780Is any one proof against it but me?
28780Is any one?
28780Is it twenty years-- or forty-- or a thousand-- since that night in the bazaar at Mangalore?"
28780Is n''t my gun loaded with bullets?
28780Is n''t that the truth?"
28780Is that not true?"
28780Is that why you''ve come back?"
28780Is this-- is this all?"
28780It gave you confidence in yourself, did it not?"
28780It is a terrible habit, is n''t it?"
28780It is my life to bring a little hope, a little gladness into the hearts----""You stand there and tell me that you know the code?"
28780Ja?"
28780Ja?"
28780Kidnapped?
28780Love?
28780Mandarin?"
28780May I say-- I am very grateful?"
28780Miss Vost-- do I pronounce it correctly?
28780Moore?"
28780Moore?"
28780Moore?"
28780Moore?"
28780My duty?
28780My other question is this: Why does that beast search the world for beautiful women-- and consign them to the mines?"
28780Naradia, how many?"
28780Now savvy?"
28780Now-- ready?"
28780Now----""Did you lick him?"
28780Of course, the first thing I want to make sure of is, am I stepping on anybody''s toes?
28780Oh, I''m so glad----""You knew?
28780Oh, wo n''t you understand?
28780On the other hand, might n''t it be possible that Eileen Lorimer had ceased to care for him?
28780Once or twice he''s tried to make love, and you could see, could n''t you, how furious he was when we left him?"
28780Or just temporarily off your nut?
28780Or was he hungry for that glimpse?
28780Or, are you leavin''the radio unwatched?"
28780Or-- is it India-- or Afghanistan?"
28780Or-- less?
28780Perhaps you are the best operator on the whole Pacific Ocean; you''ve had that reputation now-- how long-- five years?
28780Perhaps-- perhaps a girl who is not so silly as I have been?
28780Peter-- can you understand?
28780Proud?
28780Remember?
28780Savvy?
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Savvy?"
28780Say-- say, Moore, when does the fight start?
28780See?
28780Shall I tell you how many men she has put out of the way at my bidding before and after she met you?
28780Shall we consider ourselves properly introduced?"
28780Shall we turn in now?"
28780She was beckoning?
28780Should he heed it?
28780Spanish_ señorita_?"
28780Stabbed?
28780Still want to go to Japan with me, my dear?"
28780Surely you were not planning to enter Len Yang again alone?"
28780Tell him, or shall I?"
28780Tell me first, what was your power over Romola Borria?"
28780That you, Johnny Driggs?"
28780The Gray Dragon of Len Yang?
28780The man with a legion of a thousand loyal men at his back?"
28780The moon is so impersonal, is n''t it?
28780The_ King of Asia_?
28780The_ Persian Gulf_?
28780Then what of the little golden- haired girl-- the two little golden- haired girls-- you left this afternoon on the bund?"
28780Then, too, there are some papers of mine----""Romola, will this give you the contentment you desire?"
28780Then:"Why did you leave the_ Vandalia_ at Shanghai?"
28780This one shot back the following greeting:"Who are you?
28780To Peter he said:"You recognize your companion of last night?
28780Twice-- means''no?''"
28780Two years, is n''t it, since we were chased out of Panama City by the_ spigotties_?"
28780Understand?"
28780Was he playing quite squarely with Eileen Lorimer?
28780Was he willing to assume the tremendous responsibility?
28780Was n''t it to- day that I was to become immortal, with a knife through my floating ribs, or a bullet in my heart?
28780Was she flirting with him?
28780Was this girl flirting with him, or was hers a deeper interest?
28780Was this killing a part of an elaborate plan?
28780Weeks?
28780Well, what do_ you_ want?
28780Were these the sounds which had unnerved Dale?
28780What Chinamen?"
28780What agony are you talking about?
28780What are they for?
28780What are you doing up at this time of night playing with a baby coil?"
28780What band?"
28780What becomes of them?"
28780What brings you here?
28780What can I do?"
28780What can be so deliciously harmless as a kiss?
28780What did that one have in store for him now?
28780What difference does time make?
28780What difference what she said?
28780What do you say?
28780What do you suppose has become of that other one whom you met at the_ weng_ into the hills?
28780What do you want?"
28780What does become of the stolen lives?"
28780What follows?
28780What for?
28780What had become of Bobbie MacLaurin?
28780What had become of that dashing British lieutenant, Milton Raynard?
28780What had he made up his mind to do?
28780What happened to that scoundrel, Kahn Meng?
28780What have you ever done?
28780What have you to say?"
28780What is Len Yang?"
28780What is it?
28780What is the news from home?"
28780What is the news from outside?
28780What is this place?"
28780What more can any man say?"
28780What should a young lover have done?
28780What was the fellow doing?
28780What was this girl doing in Shanghai?
28780What will become of you as the years pass?
28780What would you have done, Peter Moore-- you who know so well the heart of woman?
28780What''s happened to him?"
28780What''s on your mind?
28780What''s the meaning?"
28780What''s your game, eh?
28780When does the_ Vandalia_ clear for China?"
28780When would he again penetrate the stronghold of that unhappy red city?
28780When would he do this?
28780When would he meet the Gray Dragon face to face?
28780Where are the girls?"
28780Where are we?
28780Where are you drifting?
28780Where are you?"
28780Where could he seek refuge?
28780Where have I seen that face before?
28780Where have they taken her?"
28780Where is Bobbie?"
28780Where is Jen?"
28780Where is she?
28780Where was Kahn Meng?
28780Where were the Whipple girls and Anthony?
28780Where were the girls, Anthony, the young lieutenant from the_ Madrusa_?
28780Where were the servants, the caravan boys, the muleteers, the traders and merchants?
28780Where''s everybody?"
28780Where''s she from?
28780Where''s she going?
28780Where, then, were Jen and his Chinese?
28780Which one?
28780Who can see into any man''s heart?"
28780Who could say?
28780Who in thunder said anything about prolonging the agony?
28780Who is outside?"
28780Who is she?
28780Who will not dare?
28780Who''s the girl?"
28780Who''s with her?
28780Whose toes do you think you''re stepping on?"
28780Why are you so far from Ching- Fu?
28780Why did they bring you here?
28780Why did you do that?
28780Why did you t''row him over der side, eh?"
28780Why do you stare at me so?
28780Why does your little mind single out such simple punishment-- you-- lovers?
28780Why enter the lion''s den?
28780Why had no shots been fired at them as they climbed the silver road?
28780Why had she come into his room?
28780Why had she not gone aboard the_ Manchuria_, as she had promised?
28780Why had the girl ignored him?
28780Why had two notes been thrown?
28780Why have n''t Jen and his gang broken in here?
28780Why is he waiting?
28780Why prolong the agony?
28780Why should he care?"
28780Why should you pick me for such a thing when you never saw me?
28780Why the devil''ve you been dodging me all over South China to- day?
28780Why, Peter-- why did n''t you wait?
28780Why, what is there left in yours?
28780Why-- why do you hesitate?"
28780Why-- why is it?"
28780Why?"
28780Will I break into the house and help you rob?"
28780Will you accompany us, Peter Moore-- Naradia and I and our followers?
28780Will you do that?"
28780Will you find out, if you can, if he is going to be sober enough to make the trip-- and let me know?"
28780Will you handle an M- S- G for me?"
28780Will you retire?
28780Will you try to find him for me?
28780Will you-- help me?"
28780Will you?
28780With the crew?
28780Wo n''t that suffice until the morning?
28780Wo n''t you do-- that-- for me?"
28780Wo n''t you get your feet wet?
28780Wo n''t you please tell me just what you do know about my activities in this neighborhood?"
28780Wo n''t you say-- yes?"
28780Wo n''t you stop and consider?
28780Wo n''t you?
28780Would he shoot through the pane?
28780Would the jovial little captain be quite so jovial viewing these incriminating circumstances?
28780Would the lights be Hi- Tai- Sha-- Tsung- min?--port or starboard?
28780Would the one be waiting?
28780Would the sampan be waiting?
28780Would you do that?"
28780Would you like to gaze upon that which can never be yours?"
28780Years?"
28780Yet the devils of darkness-- where were they?
28780You are feeling stronger?"
28780You are one of the ship''s officers, are you not?"
28780You did n''t know that?"
28780You do not mind if I call you_ birahi_ in our last moment together?"
28780You have never gone up the river with us to load at Soo- chow?"
28780You have not by any chance, in another of those careless moods of yours, happened to tamper with the bullets, have you?"
28780You heard my call?"
28780You knew that?"
28780You know the name-- the City of Stolen Lives?
28780You savvy, Chink- a- link?"
28780You thought I was just an innocent, helpless little thing, now did n''t you?
28780You were stunned, perhaps?"
28780You will excuse me, wo n''t you, until to- night?"
28780You will promise me that?"
28780You will wear it, great one, around thy middle?"
28780You will-- or wo n''t you?"
28780You''ll be there, without fail?"
28780You''ll go, wo n''t you?"
28780You''re both all right?"
28780You''re not hurt, are you?
28780You''re----""Well?"
28780_ Nidzen yang gïang_?"
28780_ P''êng- yu_ Moore, we wo n''t bother the servants; wo n''t you help me?"
28780observed Blanchard in the crisp, brittle accents of senility;"so you''re back again, eh?
34494A big bamboo?
34494A pocket- handkerchief Union- jack?
34494AM I GOING MAD?
34494Afraid? 34494 After what has been said, then,"said Stan sadly,"it will not be safe to pull down these chests?"
34494All ready?
34494All? 34494 Am I to be turned into a Guy Fawkes?"
34494And because you want to send me where I shall be safe?
34494And do you think I could be so bloodthirsty?
34494And fight?
34494And for want of decent help and companionship, I''m to make the best of you?
34494And is it all beautiful?
34494And pray why?
34494And so you ran away-- eh?
34494And so you set sail and got out of the way?
34494And stop at hotels of a night?
34494And then, I suppose, after being kicked for getting tipsy on_ samshu_, the men never drink any more?
34494And we''ll forgive him-- eh?
34494And what about barricading the two doors?
34494And what about fire?
34494And what is that?
34494And what would you say?
34494And what''s that, uncle?
34494And what''s the good of your knowing when you wo n''t be able to tell us?
34494And who were the people?
34494And you have tried to bind it up?
34494And you too, Uncle Jeff?
34494And you want me to go for the police?
34494And you will write to me, father?
34494And you''ll do your best for the sake of those who would be ready to encourage you if they were here, for our sake, and for your own?
34494Are n''t you hungry?
34494Are the enemy upon us, then?
34494Are we fit to meet such an onslaught as they will make?
34494Are we likely to see any pirates up the river here?
34494Are we saved?
34494Are you all coming too, uncle?
34494Are you going to shoot him?
34494Are you sure?
34494Are you wide awake enough now, my lad? 34494 Awfully, sir,"said the man; and then meaningly,"Did n''t you see the crows?"
34494Bad news?
34494Bandage? 34494 Beginning to think it will be too much of a good thing?"
34494Blackened a bit? 34494 Bury you?
34494But I say, if they come, how will they attack?
34494But a great many did come in?
34494But are we going to sail right on up the river like this?
34494But ca n''t I go and fetch help, father-- uncle?
34494But do n''t you understand? 34494 But do n''t you want your dinner?"
34494But even if I was laughing, what right have you to kick against it? 34494 But had n''t we better fill up our belts first, sir, with cartridges?"
34494But have you bandaged the place well?
34494But how far away are these people, Wing?
34494But is n''t this the last, sir?
34494But look; what''s that smoke?
34494But suppose a burning pot did happen to fall into an open chest of cartridges,said Stan,"what would happen?"
34494But they had seen the_ hong_?
34494But us-- your nephew-- escape?
34494But we shall find the land journey no worse-- there will be no discharged soldiers wandering about ready to interfere with us?
34494But what about sending down to Nang Ti for a native doctor?
34494But what about us, uncle?
34494But what about your silk?
34494But what are they doing now? 34494 But what for?"
34494But what will become of the boat?
34494But where is Wing?
34494But where is he?
34494But why did n''t they use the stink- pots before?
34494But why should they take all that trouble for nothing?
34494But you are sure that he is dead?
34494But you do n''t think so now?
34494But you have a good many Chinese at work for you here; do n''t you ever feel afraid of them rising against you and the English clerks?
34494But you wo n''t give in?
34494But you''ll be well prepared in case they do come again?
34494But you''ll send a report to my father and uncle, so that they can lay the matter before the Consul?
34494But you''ve brought them now?
34494CAN YOU USE A SWORD?
34494Ca n''t we have a big bamboo up here, sir?
34494Ca n''t you see that I''m in a hurry?
34494Can he speak English?
34494Can you find your way, Stan?
34494Can you see anything with the glass?
34494Can you use a sword, Stan?
34494Cellar? 34494 Certainly; but where?"
34494Come back like the crows?
34494Come?
34494Coming to bed?
34494Could be done? 34494 Could it be done?"
34494Could n''t you send it to market under another name?
34494Could they be pirates?
34494Dead?
34494Dead?
34494Did he eat it?
34494Did he say anything about leaving us in the lurch last night?
34494Did n''t think it was so late?
34494Did that hurt much?
34494Did you visit all the six posts?
34494Dlive allee''way? 34494 Do I understand you to mean that you will stop with us and fight it out?"
34494Do I, my boy? 34494 Do I?"
34494Do n''t you think you had better come in and have something to eat, uncle?
34494Do you hear there, squire?
34494Do you hear there?
34494Do you know who did it?
34494Do you mean it, in spite of all I have said?
34494Do you mean to come down here again?
34494Do you mean you think the pirates will come back and attack?
34494Do you think he is right?
34494Do you want to bastinado your comrade?
34494Do you want to be hacked to pieces?
34494Do you want to turn a brave resistance into a panic?
34494Does he?
34494Does n''t the captain know we are to stop there?
34494Does that hurt very much?
34494Does that mean shake hands? 34494 Does that mean the spine is injured?"
34494Draw in as long a breath as you can.--Well, do you hear me?
34494Dripping wet?
34494Eh? 34494 Eh?
34494Eh? 34494 Eh?
34494Eh? 34494 Eh?"
34494Eh?
34494Eh?
34494Eh?
34494Eh?
34494Eh?
34494Eh?
34494Explained? 34494 Feel done up, sir?"
34494Find any one asleep?
34494Finished?
34494Fire?
34494For me?
34494For nothing? 34494 Fretting?
34494Fun, Stan, my lad? 34494 Get betteh?
34494Given him no cause of offence? 34494 Go fi''?"
34494Going to fire again to startle me?
34494Gone-- eh?
34494Good; but when it is connected what does it do?
34494Got any appetite after your fighting?
34494Got him?
34494Had n''t we better give them a cheer and a few parting shots?
34494Had n''t we better try and shoot more of them, sir?
34494Had n''t you better have a fever too?
34494Had n''t you better write and tell them so?
34494Have you a set of chess- men?
34494Have you ever been attacked?
34494Have you taken breakfast to Mr Wing?
34494He''ll fire at me, of course,he said,"and I must run in before he can reload, as I said; but what about his revolver?
34494Hear him, Stan?
34494Help? 34494 Here, I say, I have n''t been asleep?"
34494Here, I say, had n''t you better leave off talking?
34494Here, Jeff,said his brother hoarsely;"do you smell that?"
34494Hi? 34494 Hi?
34494Hit any of the rabbits?
34494How are you getting on here?
34494How can I send you where I hold back from going myself?
34494How can that be so much the better?
34494How can we? 34494 How can you tell without a proper examination?"
34494How dare you come and ask after deserting us as you did? 34494 How did you know I watched from that heap of stones at the edge of the wharf?"
34494How did you know when the hours were up?
34494How is that?
34494How many junks can you see, and how many pirates in each?
34494How?
34494Hungry-- eh? 34494 Hungry-- eh?"
34494Hungry?
34494Hurt?
34494Hurt?
34494I could: why not?
34494I forgot to do so; why should n''t he have done the same? 34494 I never saw such a cowardly lot as we all are in my life.--Eh, lads?"
34494I second that,said Blunt.--"Now, Lynn, what do you say?"
34494I see,said Stan;"but it''s very horrible, is n''t it?"
34494I see,said Uncle Jeff;"but what next?"
34494I suppose you have one?
34494I''m a foreign devil, am I? 34494 I?
34494I? 34494 If it did n''t go down splash into the river-- eh?"
34494If we defend the place and are not able to beat them off, I suppose they will burn the_ hong_ and us in it?
34494In the dark?
34494Is anything the matter, Mr Blunt?
34494Is he a two- faced fellow,thought Stan,"and doing all this to put me off my guard?
34494Is he better?
34494Is it good, old chap?
34494Is it very bad?
34494Is it?
34494Is the trap- door locked?
34494Is there any likelihood of our going to war?
34494Is this perfectly true, Mr Blunt?
34494It has come to that, has it? 34494 Lay stlaight?"
34494Leady to buly poo''Wing?
34494Learn? 34494 Let me see,"he mused;"they will challenge me by saying,` Who goes there?''
34494Like big- game shooting?
34494Like what?
34494Loaded?
34494Lun away? 34494 Mad?"
34494Mao ashamed? 34494 Matter?

34494No?
34494No?
34494Not Mistee Lynn killee?
34494Not enemies, then?
34494Not fight it out here?
34494Not going to be too much for us, are they?
34494Not hungry? 34494 Not killee?"
34494Not while these ruffians are near.--What do you say, Stan?
34494Now then, what shall we do? 34494 Now then, you can feel that you are not broken to bits, Wing?"
34494Now then; once more-- ready?
34494Of being so cowardly, sir?
34494Of course; and you wo n''t mind using a rifle?
34494Oh uncle, can we do nothing?
34494Oh uncle,cried Stan passionately,"why did you come?"
34494Oh, but a lot of that''s false, is n''t it?
34494Oh, do n''t you? 34494 Oh, has he come back?"
34494Oh, have n''t you? 34494 Oh, that''s how you managed-- eh?"
34494Oh, that''s it, is it?
34494On shore?
34494One moment: where are you going to lie down?
34494Ought you to talk now?
34494Out of how many shots?
34494Queer? 34494 Ready?"
34494Refreshing?
34494Regularly?
34494Rested? 34494 Retreat?"
34494Risks? 34494 Robbers, father?"
34494Safe from what?
34494Say?
34494See about it, then,said Stan,"while we go and say a few words to the coolies-- eh?
34494See that, uncle?
34494See them coming?
34494See? 34494 Shabby?
34494Shall I help you?
34494Shall I lead, Noll?
34494Shall you employ him any more?
34494Smell the hydrogen, my lad?
34494So as to be ready?
34494So as to nip any little fire in the bud?
34494So close?
34494So soon?
34494So that''s what you think of me, is it?
34494Some trap?
34494Sooner lose about ten thousand pounds''worth of tea, dyewoods, and silk that I have been hard at work collecting with the help of Mr Wing here?
34494Still asleep?
34494Stitch in time saves nine-- eh, Stan?
34494TO CERTAIN DEATH?
34494That was another hit, was n''t it?
34494That''ll about do-- eh, Stan?
34494The bullets-- eh? 34494 The good?"
34494The wound''s healing up nicely, thanks to Wing here.-- Well, Wing, how are you?
34494Then the discharged soldiers are worse than the pirates, Wing?
34494Then they came in boats?
34494Then they mean to stop and back me up?
34494Then what''s the good of it?
34494Then why do n''t they burn us out? 34494 Then you are a hit of a doctor?"
34494Then you feel pretty sure that Wing is not dead?
34494Then you mean to stay?
34494Then you really believe that they are upstairs in hiding?
34494Then you think that perhaps, after all, they may not attack us?
34494Then you think they will come?
34494Then you think we might wait till the morning?
34494Then you will fight?
34494Then you will go?
34494Then you''ve brought bad news?
34494There''s nothing more to fear.--Do you see, Blunt? 34494 Think so?"
34494Thought what?
34494Tigers?
34494To certain death?
34494To shave me? 34494 Trying to get up?
34494Unfortunate? 34494 Up?
34494Very sorry for what?
34494Very well, then, coppers-- ready to` sky,''Stan-- eh? 34494 Very well; where would he bleed if it was not outside?"
34494WHAT''S THE MATTER?
34494Wait till the morning? 34494 Wait?
34494Want to be friends?
34494Want to shake hands?
34494Wantee go? 34494 Wantee you?
34494We sha n''t meet any of them now, I suppose?
34494We shall have to save ourselves this time-- independently.--Like fighting, Stan?
34494Well, I know that,cried Stan;"but what?
34494Well, Wing,cried Blunt;"see anything of the enemy?"
34494Well, does that hurt you very much?
34494Well, here you are; and now you are here, what do you want? 34494 Well, how did it come about?"
34494Well, sir, why do n''t you answer?
34494Well, then, am I not a donkey to teach you till you know as much as I do?
34494Well, why do n''t you go on?
34494Well, why do n''t you rest?
34494Well, you all hear?
34494Well,said Stan,"why do n''t you go?"
34494Well,said the latter, as they found him now awake,"how are the broken pieces?"
34494Well,was the reply,"did you ever see a sweep?"
34494What I want to know is, would they go off one at a time?
34494What about the coolies, then? 34494 What about the windows where the stink- pots came flying in as if all the stars in the sky had broken loose?"
34494What about?
34494What are you going to do about giving orders when the firing begins?
34494What are you going to do?
34494What are you laughing at?
34494What are you staring at, Stan?
34494What are you talking about?
34494What did he mean by that?
34494What did you mean-- pheasants-- turkeys?
34494What do they say now?
34494What do they say, my man?
34494What do you mean-- can I run fast?
34494What do you mean?
34494What do you say to retreating to the office after the volley, and then defending the door as the brutes try to get at us? 34494 What do you want here?"
34494What does it mean?
34494What does this mean?
34494What else?
34494What for?
34494What for?
34494What for?
34494What good shave uncle? 34494 What good?
34494What is it?
34494What is it?
34494What is to be done?
34494What made you so long?
34494What makes you think not?
34494What next?
34494What shall I do?
34494What sort of a fellow do you call yourself?
34494What time is it?
34494What was the matter?
34494What were you looking round for?
34494What will he say?
34494What will you do about poor Wing?
34494What!--ready to jump for joy, Stan?
34494What''s that for?
34494What''s that, uncle?
34494What''s that?
34494What''s that?
34494What''s that?
34494What''s the good, sir?
34494What''s the matter with you? 34494 What''s the matter, Blunt?"
34494What''s the matter? 34494 What''s the matter?"
34494What''s the matter?
34494What''s the matter?
34494What''s the meaning of this? 34494 What''s to be done, Jeff?"
34494What''s to be the next thing?
34494Whatever shall I do?
34494Wheah Englis''sailoh? 34494 Where are you hurt?"
34494Where is his wound?
34494Where shall I be?
34494Where''s Wing?
34494Who could possibly sleep at a time like this?
34494Who do n''t, father?
34494Who''d ever have thought we should be having such a breakfast as this in the old place-- eh, Oliver?
34494Who''s going to pull a great place like this down and build another?
34494Who''s that talking about ruin?
34494Who''s to rest patiently with not a dozen rifle- cartridges on the premises?
34494Whose son is he-- Mr Oliver''s or Mr Jeffrey''s? 34494 Why are you sure?"
34494Why did you do that?
34494Why did you run away last night?
34494Why do n''t you speak?
34494Why do you say that?
34494Why does n''t he get up?
34494Why not? 34494 Why not?"
34494Why not?
34494Why, however did you get out there?
34494Why, uncle,cried Stan,"have n''t I just had to play at being a man and handle the rifle?"
34494Why, what''s the matter with the fellow? 34494 Why?"
34494Why?
34494Why?
34494Why?
34494Will that save us now?
34494Will they try again, father?
34494Will you say a few encouraging words to the men?
34494Wing load long eyes-- nocklah-- leady to shoot?
34494Wing speakee quitee loud?
34494Wing?
34494With a rifle, Blunt?
34494With whom?
34494Without a doctor?
34494Wo n''t this bring help, father?
34494Would he?
34494Yes, I remember,said Stan, laughing;"and when it had exploded she said,` Where is the powder blue?''"
34494Yes, and what then? 34494 Yes, that is the sort of man; but how are we to get such a person without sending to England?"
34494Yes,replied Uncle Jeff;"we''ve got off, have n''t we?"
34494Yes,replied the lad;"but perhaps very much exaggerated.--Here, Wing, is all this quite true?"
34494Yes,said Stan huskily as he thrust the little instrument into his watch- pocket;"but about you?
34494Yes; but what has that to do with it?
34494Yes; lun velly fass?
34494Yes; tell me,said Stan,"how far have we to go up the river?"
34494You did?
34494You do n''t doubt that it was Chinese work?
34494You do?
34494You have done that?
34494You have n''t any ready, I suppose?
34494You have n''t been?
34494You here, Wing?
34494You laughed and said that?
34494You like that, then?
34494You likee ketchee fishee? 34494 You mean I should be killed at a blow, and not be able to come back and say what I had seen?"
34494You mean about the water poured over the ammunition?
34494You mean sham illness?
34494You say, go get dinneh leady? 34494 You see now, then?"
34494You suah?
34494You t''inkee?
34494You think he has escaped?
34494You think it is as bad as that?
34494You think it''s worse? 34494 You think junk full o''pilate come now?"
34494You think so too, do you?
34494You wantee Sin?
34494You''d have kept the miserable brutes off, but I''m afraid that the fire would have been rather too much-- eh?
34494You''ll not die and be buried this time.--Do you see what saved him, Lynn?
34494You''re stiff and bruised, and naturally you''ll feel pain as soon as you move; but do you know what you''ve done, sir?
34494Young Lynn glad Wing''top place?
34494Young Lynn go velly sickee? 34494 Young Lynn know who shot Wing?"
34494Young Lynn lettee Wing look flou''double eyeglass?
34494Young Lynn say bote leg bloke light off?
34494Young Lynn velly solly go''way?
34494Young Lynn wantee Wing?
34494Am I going mad?"
34494And I''m to be shut up in the next cage to a great monkey, am I?
34494And after what you said, I suppose you know how to use the pistol?"
34494And do n''t you see that it will be sunk right away there off the wharf?
34494And what then?
34494Any knocking down or punishing any of them?"
34494As Wing pointed out the fact to Stan, the movement he made startled the sufferer, who looked at him sideways and said:"What''s the matter?
34494As soon as you approach you''ll be challenged with` Who goes there?''"
34494Been so much frightened?"
34494Blunt heard him, but paid no heed for a minute or so; then looking up sternly, he saluted the man with a deep- toned--"Well, sir, what do you want?"
34494Boy get line leady, put bait hook, young Lynn ketchee fish?
34494Bring me any letters?"
34494But I say, Mr Lynn, what do you think about that bit of treachery?
34494But I say,"continued Blunt dryly;"would n''t you have liked to bring that monkey away with you?"
34494But Misteh Blunt no hang poo''Chinaman?"
34494But are you quite sure it is your uncle?"
34494But had n''t we better get the flag up first, and then it will be done?"
34494But how would you guide your kite with a fiery tail over the junk you meant to destroy?"
34494But how?
34494But tell me, Lynn; how are things going?"
34494But this time there was an addition--"Do you hear?"
34494But what do you mean?"
34494But why go to the farm first when, if I could get to the river from the town, I could start on at once?
34494But you are not nervous, are you?"
34494But you were not burnt?"
34494But, by the way, if the savage pirates come and treat me like that, where will you be?"
34494By the way, I wonder whether he''ll be back to- day?"
34494Ca n''t you see for yourself?
34494Can you eat some breakfast?"
34494Can you load and fire a pistol?"
34494Come snipe and duck shooting?"
34494Did I frighten you?"
34494Did n''t I get shot down there?
34494Did n''t you help them, sir?"
34494Did n''t you say they were coming?"
34494Did you see many piratical- looking war- junks as you came up the river?"
34494Did you see?"
34494Do n''t you grasp why they are breaking up the things?"
34494Do n''t you see how close they are in?
34494Do n''t you think I could fight?"
34494Do n''t you think they ought to be praised for what they have done?"
34494Do you call that solitary?"
34494Do you hear?"
34494Do you hear?"
34494Do you know the enemy may even now be on their way to make a fresh attack?"
34494Do you know what a loss like this means to me?"
34494Do you know where you are?"
34494Do you know who I am?"
34494Do you think I want our men to be put out of heart because I am bowled over?"
34494Do you think it''s going to be half so risky as staying here?
34494Do you think we shall have to run away from some of these men?"
34494Do you understand the danger?"
34494Do you want the cat?
34494Do you want to give up directing and turn yourself into a coolie to save one helpless man, and perhaps sacrifice your own life?"
34494Do you want to shave?"
34494Do you?"
34494Does n''t bleed, does it, sir?"
34494Eh?"
34494Feel ill?"
34494Fire away at the men who bring the stink- pots.--Eh-- what?
34494Getting to the last cartridges?
34494Go and bathe my face?"
34494Go down and fire through the door, or give them a dose out of one of these windows?"
34494Got a revolver?"
34494Got any fishing- tackle?"
34494Had n''t I better call a couple of the coolies to come and lift you into your room?"
34494Have n''t got a revolver of your own, I suppose?"
34494Have you arranged with Wing?"
34494Have you got out, Tchack?"
34494Have you looked right out yonder where the river bends round?"
34494Have you lost the money I gave you?"
34494Here, Stan, can you fight?"
34494Here, how are you getting on, my lads?"
34494How are we to find out?"
34494How can they know when there is a fight?"
34494How can you tell?"
34494How could I have forgotten it like that?"
34494How did you get away from the brutes?"
34494How did you know but what we might want to escape in your boat down to Nang Ti?"
34494How do you know?"
34494How do you know?"
34494How many are there of the wretches?"
34494How many junks can you make out?"
34494How many of you can manage rifles?"
34494How takee gleat ca''e if Wing lun away in boat?
34494How''s your rifle sighted now?"
34494However, matters were best as they were-- eh, Blunt?"
34494Humph!--I say, captain, do you carry a pocket- mirror?"
34494I could have a boat?
34494I could manage a rifle now as well as when I practised at a mark.--What do you say, Stan?
34494I propose being at the farther door: do you feel as if you could stand your ground with some of the men to hold this door till all is safe?"
34494I say, should n''t you like to make one with me in an expedition to knock that prison to pieces?"
34494I say, though, Blunt, is there any possibility of an attack being made from the shore?"
34494I say, though, squire; you think me a regular ruffian, do n''t you?"
34494I say, though, who''d ever think that there was so much strength in that skinny arm?
34494I say, though; you''ve heard nothing about the breaking out of war?"
34494I suppose we could not make a dash from one window and fight our way to some boat?"
34494I suppose you can do that?"
34494I was just thinking of sitting down to dinner when the junk came in sight, so you''ll come and join me-- eh?"
34494I''m peckish; are n''t you?"
34494I''m weak yet-- not get in a passion?"
34494If I find a man skulking and kick him, do you think the others side with him?"
34494If I was asleep, how could I have come out here to keep you company?"
34494If the monkey could do this, he argued directly after, why could not he?
34494If we defend this place for a time, is it likely that help will come?"
34494If we went on firing at the crowd we should soon have no cartridges left.--What does that shouting mean?"
34494If you''ll take my advice-- Will you?"
34494In such an emergency, with the poor fellow regularly murdered?"
34494Is Uncle Jeff ill?"
34494Is he dead?"
34494Is he very bad?"
34494Is n''t it just as likely that I should have to do this duty for you?"
34494Is n''t that Wing?"
34494Is n''t there a chemical that we could squirt over them from an engine of some kind?"
34494It does n''t fit with my roaring and shouting at them just now?
34494It takes a good shot to hit so small a mark as a hand in a fast- sailing boat-- eh?"
34494Just in the nick of time, too, for the lad''s ejaculation had been heard, and in an instant the challenge came out of the darkness:"Who goes there?"
34494Know where he lives?"
34494Like that?"
34494Like to know why?"
34494Living out in this unprotected place?
34494Look here, youngster; can you be honest?"
34494Look here; after what I''ve told you, do you mean to stay?"
34494Look yonder in the front of the junk: what can you see?"
34494Lun fass?"
34494Mind when you retreat that the doors are well barricaded.--Reloaded?"
34494Misteh Blunt hang Wing up so?"
34494Misteh Blunt say,` Where young Lynn?''
34494Misteh Olivee say,` Why Wing not''top topside house fight too, kill pilate, bling young Lynn quite safe?''
34494Misteh velly angly poo''Chinaman?"
34494My father?"
34494Neither is this,"he continued as, with the patient still groaning, the other arm was tenderly examined and laid straight.--"Hurt you very much, Wing?"
34494No go die and be bulied?"
34494No more boatloads for him, he''ll find.--What say, Lynn?
34494Not been wounded, have you?"
34494Not piratical craft, were they?"
34494Now are you satisfied?"
34494Now tell me quietly, what have you done about our breastworks and the wall?"
34494Now then!--You will fire too, Stan?"
34494Now then, Blunt,"he added,"are you satisfied?"
34494Now then, what''s the matter?
34494Now then, you''ve got a better idea than that up your sleeve or in that noddle of yours, I''m sure.--Hasn''t he, Blunt?"
34494Now whom do you suspect?"
34494Now, Stan, lad, what are you thinking of?
34494Of course, you know why they beat these gongs?"
34494Our chain of defences-- eh?"
34494Perhaps we shall want you.--Here, Oliver,"he whispered;"why not send Stan?"
34494Plenty of room there for any amount of plans-- eh, Stan?"
34494Queer-- eh, Lynn?"
34494Ready?
34494Say knock Wing down not get out o''way.--You been killee all pilate?"
34494See anything?"
34494Shall I go?"
34494Stan was silent, feeling quite confused,"Did you come and look at me before you went to sleep?"
34494Stan''s next words slipped out unconsciously:"Why have you put me in the most risky place?"
34494Stan- lee wan tee man to shave him?"
34494Strange that one in such a terrible position should feel such ecstasy upon seeing a glorious vision in the sunset beauties of that far- eastern river?
34494Tell me again; how many did they lose?"
34494That hurt you very much, Wing?"
34494Then he is awake?"
34494Then turning his eyes full upon Stan with a searching stare, he said shortly,"How do?
34494Then what do you think of me?"
34494Then you mean to go for us, sir?"
34494Then you mean to risk it?"
34494They held out--""They?
34494Think you can eat and drink?"
34494Thoroughly thrashed them?"
34494Throwing out the empty cartridge, he began to fit in another, and as with trembling fingers he reclosed the breech he whispered sharply:"Did I hit?"
34494To make a show of me?
34494To send us both to their wretched Zoological Gardens in Peking?
34494Understand?"
34494Understand?"
34494Understand?"
34494Want to shake hands?"
34494Was it hunger, then, which produced a longing for a few raw fish?
34494We know better-- eh?"
34494We might take our guns and get a bit of sport among the snipes in the paddy- fields; what do you say?"
34494We shall see I say, though, what about that gathering of war- junks you saw?
34494Well, how did you leave the governors?"
34494Well, look here; the wounds are quite high up?"
34494Well,"he added, changing his tone again,"so they''ve sent a boy like you?"
34494Were n''t you?"
34494What Wing say?
34494What about?"
34494What became of you?
34494What did Mr Blunt tell me to say?
34494What did you say they did?"
34494What do the contemptible brutes mean?
34494What do you mean by your` half- done''?"
34494What do you mean?
34494What do you propose doing first?"
34494What do you say to going up the river lands and gardens along with him?"
34494What do you say to that?"
34494What do you say, Mr Lynn?"
34494What do you say?"
34494What do you think of that?"
34494What do you want?
34494What does it mean, then-- a trap?"
34494What double dickens you do along young Lynn?''
34494What have you got to say for yourself?"
34494What is it they want to do?"
34494What is it to be, Mr Lynn?
34494What is it?
34494What is it?
34494What is it?"
34494What is it?"
34494What is your opinion about the matter, Mr Lynn?"
34494What name?"
34494What of the night?"
34494What of?"
34494What should I have to do?"
34494What sort of a lad would you have chosen?"
34494What time''s up?"
34494What want heah?''
34494What word will you give to prove that you are a friend?"
34494What would you call it-- coffee?"
34494What''s that French proverb about the man who tries to clear himself making matters worse?"
34494What''s that next one?"
34494What''s that?"
34494What''s that?"
34494What''s to be done now?"
34494What?"
34494Whatever shall I do?
34494When did you come?"
34494When does the boat start?"
34494When will it be?"
34494Where am I?"
34494Where are you hurt?"
34494Where are your Chinese pirates?"
34494Where is it?
34494Where''s Wing?"
34494Where?
34494Who fired it?"
34494Who''d ever have thought that I should turn out such a thief?"
34494Who''ll follow?"
34494Who''s going to bury a live man?"
34494Who''s going to stop me?"
34494Who''s to know what he means?"
34494Why are you grinning at me, sir?"
34494Why did your people christen you that?"
34494Why did your people christen you that?"
34494Why not take advantage of this lull and quietly get out on the other side, so as to get right away from the river?
34494Why not?
34494Why should he have done so?
34494Why, Stan, how do you think you are going to fly kites with the enemy in front?"
34494Will that do you?"
34494Will that do?"
34494Will you have a try?"
34494Wing cooks a little, but nothing like so well as Sin.--I suppose we ca n''t spare him to go with Stan here, can we, Oliver?"
34494Wing?
34494Yes, I begin to think that you gave the enemy such an awful thrashing--""I?"
34494You could do that?"
34494You do n''t feel much the worse for it all?"
34494You do n''t really mean to say you want me to kill as many of those unfortunate wretches as I can?"
34494You feel leady to go down eatee big dinnee?"
34494You feel the same, do n''t you?"
34494You got plenty bale plenty tea- box fo''Mao take down livah-- eh?"
34494You have been good friends with him, Blunt?"
34494You have something else to say?"
34494You hear me?"
34494You know where all the men are stationed?"
34494You likee eatee dlinkee?"
34494You likee have gun shoot duck?"
34494You likee lie down?
34494You remember skying the copper-- the old charwoman putting the gunpowder in the copper flue, as she said, to` burn up by degrees''?"
34494You there?"
34494You understand?"
34494You wantee Wing takee plop''ca''e young Lynn?"
34494You''ll be in the way.--Well, do you hear?"
34494You''re captain now-- do you hear?"
34494You''ve had no quarrel with him, Blunt?"
34494Young Lynn savee big managee Blunt?"
34494` See, misteh?''
34494` What is it?''
34494about going up the country?
34494asked Blunt from out of the mist close at hand--"the pirates going by?"
34494can you get some?"
34494cut off my growing beard?"
34494from up on that pile of stones at the edge of the wharf?"
34494in the stone?"
34494not got the boxes and bales under cover again?"
34494not the soldiers?"
34494our boat?"
34494said Uncle Jeff, who was mollified by the man''s words,"Well, what''s for breakfast?"
34494said the manager in a tone full of surprise;"that''s what you''ve come for, is it?"
34494that sounds better,"cried Uncle Jeff eagerly;"but could it be done?"
34494what for?
34494what''s that?
34494what''s that?"
34494where it turns round the end of the warehouse?"
34494whispered Stan triumphantly;"do you mean to tell me that the enemy would be able to keep as still as that if they were up there?"
34494who knows?"
34494why did n''t the Doctor teach me Chinese instead of all that Latin and Greek?
34494with our defences?
34494you''ve seen them?"
9603''The old cottage of a man of the Ch''in dynasty''is meant to imply a retreat from revolution, and how will it suit this place? 9603 Am I not right?
9603Am I only free to play with you?
9603And are all the rest of the young ladies quite well?
9603Are forsooth the devices''the river Ch''i and the Chu Garden''not those of old authors?
9603Are you again making fun of me?
9603Are you going again to play the fool with me? 9603 Are you in real earnest?"
9603Are you my keeper?
9603Are you now going or not?
9603Are you speaking in earnest,she inquired,"or are you only jesting?"
9603As for some nearer place,Ming Yen observed;"to whose house can we go?
9603As soon as it was daylight,she proceeded,"we started with all speed on our way here, and had we even so much as time to have any breakfast?"
9603Better keep them and give them to your daughter Pao Ch''ai to wear,observed madame Wang,"and have done with it; why think of all the others?"
9603But I would also ask you, Doctor, to be good enough to tell me whether this illness will, in the long run, endanger her life or not?
9603But since you belong to this room, how is it I do n''t know you?
9603But why do n''t you attend to any of those duties that would bring you to my notice?
9603Cousin, tell me is it nice or not?
9603Did I ever mention that I was going?
9603Did my lady call?
9603Did n''t I forget? 9603 Disentangle what?"
9603Do I know what to do?
9603Do I know?
9603Do n''t pull me up for talking too much,she said;"but who of us country people is n''t honest and open- hearted?
9603Do n''t you even recognise him? 9603 Do these words allude to me?"
9603Do you also know what anguish means?
9603Do you ask me?
9603Do you mean to say,Hsi Jen insinuated with a sardonic smile,"that your cousin Pao- yü has leisure to stay at home?"
9603Do you think you are equal to the task?
9603Do you want to die?
9603Does n''t your mind yet see for itself?
9603Does your worthy father at home mind your having any friends?
9603Does''green wax,''Pao- yü inquired,"come out from anywhere?"
9603Exclusive of the Four Books,Pao- yü remarked smilingly,"the majority of works are plagiarised; and is it only I, perchance, who plagiarise?
9603From what part of the standard books does that come?
9603Gentlemen,he inquired,"what shall we write about this?"
9603Gentlemen,observed Chia Cheng,"what name do you propose for this place?"
9603Gently,smiled Hsi Jen,"for were you to let them hear, what figure would we cut?"
9603Go after your business, and have done,She Yüeh interposed laughingly;"what''s the use of your coming and asking questions of people?"
9603Had there been a way,observed Kou Erh, smiling sarcastically,"would I have waited up to this moment?
9603Had we all gone to play,She Yüeh added,"to whom would the charge of this apartment have been handed over?
9603Has after all permission for the visit been granted?
9603Has this medicine any name or other of its own?
9603Have these flowers,she inquired eagerly,"been sent to me alone, or have all the other girls got some too?"
9603Have you also given them,she felt constrained to ask,"the purse that I gave you?
9603Have you been well of late, mother?
9603Have you had it,inquired lady Feng,"outside here, or over on the other side?"
9603Have you heard what he said?
9603Have you read any books, cousin?
9603Have you received,further asked Mrs. Chou,"the monthly allowance for incense offering due on the fifteenth or not?"
9603Have you seen any one else besides me?
9603He''s most reasonable in his arguments,all the visitors protested,"and why should he be called to task?"
9603He''s separated,they all ventured as they laughed,"by a distance of twenty or thirty li, and how can he be brought along?
9603Here you are with your nonsense again,Pao Ch''ai rejoined laughingly;"is a pill a thing to be taken recklessly?"
9603How all unsuitable?
9603How are you? 9603 How can I not know all about this Chiao Ta?"
9603How can it be that you people who have the same surname do not belong to one clan?
9603How can it possibly be,Chia Cheng exclaimed,"that her ladyship knows anything about such kind of language?
9603How could I possibly know?
9603How could I put what happened in black and white on paper?
9603How do you find her?
9603How do you, who do n''t see our son''s wife very often, happen to find her?
9603How ever can the liana and the ficus have such unusual scent?
9603How ever could a mere child like her,speedily remonstrated madame Wang,"carry out all these matters?
9603How far are you in your teens this year?
9603How have I got a glib tongue?
9603How is it she''s not even been over for these few days?
9603How is it that from our house, no one comes to get any orders or to obtain anything?
9603How is it you have n''t yet asked her to come in?
9603How is it you utter not a word?
9603How is it, miss,she inquired smiling,"that you have not turned in as yet?"
9603How is it,asked Pao- yü,"that I did n''t see him?
9603How is it,he purposely exclaimed,"that when you should speak, you contrariwise do n''t?
9603How is it,interposed Tai- yü, as she once again called out to him and stopped him,"that you do n''t go and bid farewell to your cousin Pao Ch''ai?"
9603How is my young lady?
9603How many sisters have you got?
9603How old is that servant girl?
9603How would you have one make any reply?
9603I daily have ample leisure,Chia Jui ventured with a simper,"and would n''t it be well if I came every day to dispel your dulness, sister- in- law?"
9603I do n''t agree to that,Tai- yü rejoined;"are you people, pray, all of one mind to do nothing but make fun of me?"
9603I do n''t mind your speaking,Chin Jung observed laughing;"but would you perchance not have me cough?
9603I feel quite sore from fatigue,ventured lady Feng,"and how can I stand your rubbing against me?
9603I heard that she had been kidnapped, ever since she was five years old; but has she only been sold recently?
9603I was simply at random humming a few verses composed by former writers, and what reason is there to laud me to such an excessive degree? 9603 I was wondering whose relative he was,"he remarked;"is he really sister- in- law Huang''s nephew?
9603I wonder,interposed Ch''iu Wen with alacrity,"who it is that will bring the workmen to- morrow, and supervise the works?"
9603I''d like to ask you just a word, my young friend,she observed;"there''s a Mrs. Chou here; is she at home?"
9603I''ll amend,Pao- yü observed,"and if I say anything of the kind again you can wring my mouth; but what else is there?"
9603I''ll drink it,replied dame Chao,"but you, my lady, must also have a cup: what''s there to fear?
9603I''ll give you a style,suggested Pao- yü smilingly;"wo n''t the double style''P''in P''in,''''knitting brows,''do very well?"
9603I''ve often heard,continued lady Feng,"my eldest uncle say that things were in such a state, and how could n''t I believe?
9603I''ve only just recovered from a fit of crying,dowager lady Chia observed, as she smiled,"and have you again come to start me?
9603If I be wanton, it''s my own look- out;P''ing Erh answered, from outside the window, with a grin,"and who told you to arouse your affections?
9603If all we do is to go on nagging in this way,Pao- yü remarked smiling,"will I any more be afraid to die?
9603If it be really the case that all my cousins have come over,Pao- yü ventured with a smirk,"how is it that I do n''t see them?"
9603If such be the case,madame Wang readily suggested,"why should n''t we bring her here?"
9603If that wo n''t do,the party smiled,"well then what about the four characters implying''An old cottage of a man of the Ch''in dynasty?''"
9603If they do n''t allude to you,she continued,"to whom do they?"
9603If this,she said,"is really not nice, where are you going?
9603If you encourage such ideas,remonstrated lady Feng,"how can this illness ever get all right?
9603If you''re bent upon chatting,she urgently inquired, upon seeing P''ing Erh outside the window,"why do n''t you go into the room?
9603In that case,observed Pao- yü,"what scent is it?"
9603In this covered bowl,she continued to inquire,"is cream, and why not give it to me to eat?"
9603In this felicitous first moon what are you blubbering for?
9603In whose family?
9603Is it indeed cousin Pao- yü?
9603Is it likely that I have, like others, Buddhistic disciples,Tai- yü asked laughing ironically,"or worthies to give me novel kinds of scents?
9603Is it likely that others can safely come and that you and I ca n''t? 9603 Is it really about this that you''ve come?"
9603Is it really she?
9603Is it really so? 9603 Is it snowing?"
9603Is n''t Hsüeh P''an at home?
9603Is n''t it strange? 9603 Is n''t it to the cousin born with jade in his mouth, that you are alluding to, aunt?"
9603Is n''t this a scented stick to show the watch?
9603Is sister( Pao Ch''ai) all right again?
9603Is that it?
9603Is there anything in excess?
9603Is there anything short or not?
9603Is there to be any entertainment or not?
9603Is this a cracker?
9603Is your mistress,observed lady Feng,"so like a quick- footed demon?"
9603It is easy enough for us to see each other,( she said,)"and why should we indulge in any excess of grief?
9603It is n''t likely you would wish to come over here to me?
9603It was n''t convenient for them,remarked lady Feng,"to be over here; but who knows what they have again gone to do behind our backs?"
9603It was only yesterday,he hastily added,"that I saw him, and he was still bright and cheery; and how is it that he''s anything but well now?"
9603It''s enough,she rejoined,"that there''s nothing short; and how could there really turn out to be anything over and above?"
9603Just see,remarked lady Feng,"how hard pressed I am; which place can do without me?
9603Letting you off,rejoined Chia Se,"is no difficult thing; but how much, I wonder, are you likely to give?
9603May I venture to trouble my Fairy,he said,"to take me along for a turn into the interior of each of these Boards?
9603May it not be,he thought,"that she is not coming again; and that I may have once more to freeze for another whole night?"
9603May she not,remarked madame Hsing, taking up the thread of the conversation,"be ailing for some happy event?"
9603Miss Lin has gone long ago,observed all of them, as they burst out laughing,"and do you offer her tea?"
9603My dear child,Pu Shih- jen exclaimed,"had I anything that I could call my own, your uncle as I am, would n''t I feel bound to do something for you?
9603My dear cousin,Pao- yü continued smirkingly,"how is it that you combed it for me in former times?"
9603My dear cousin,Pao- yü said to her smilingly,"tell me without any prevarication which of the three characters is the best written?"
9603My dear cousin,pleaded Pao- yü entreatingly,"how is it you''ve seen mine?"
9603My dear sister,he said,"how is it you are n''t again yourself?
9603My dear sister- in- law,she replied,"as I gazed upon her, were my heart and eyes, pray, full of admiration or not?
9603My dear sister- in- law,she said as she smiled,"sleep in peace; I''m on my way back to- day, and wo n''t even you accompany me just one stage?
9603My senior aunt, you said you had something to tell me, Pao- yü observed; what''s it, I wonder?
9603My worthy Sir,he observed with a forced smile;"how is it you are leaning against the door and looking out?
9603My young ancestor,replied Li Kuei,"who presumes to look forward to an invitation?
9603Of these how many kinds have by this time been got ready? 9603 Of whose family is she the mistress?"
9603On the 21st,lady Feng explained,"is cousin Hsüeh''s birthday, and what do you, after all, purpose doing?"
9603Pao- yü, may I ask you something? 9603 Relatives,"she continued,"of one family, as we are, what need is there to say anything of tender years?"
9603She''s in that room, is n''t she?
9603Since you remain in here, there''s less need for me to go,resumed She Yüeh,"for we two can chat and play and laugh; and wo n''t that be nice?"
9603Sir Priest,the stone replied with assurance,"why are you so excessively dull?
9603Sister Chou, what took you over on the other side?
9603Study is a most excellent thing, and without it a whole lifetime is a mere waste, and what good comes in the long run? 9603 That goes without saying,"added Chia Lien,"otherwise, for what purpose could we be in such a stir just now?"
9603That jade of yours is besides a rare object, and how could every one have one?
9603The day after to- morrow,she felt obliged to add,"is again our senior''s, Mr. Chia Ching''s birthday, and how are we to celebrate it after all?"
9603The fears you express are well founded,she urgently remarked,"but what plan is there adequate to preserve it from future injury?"
9603The only thing is that crowds of people are ever passing from there, and how will it be possible for me to evade detection?
9603The other day,she observed,"some things were taken out, and have you brought them all in or not?"
9603The senior ladies occupy the seats of honour,remonstrated lady Feng,"and how can I presume to choose?"
9603The two words''flower- laden bank,''she said,"are really felicitous, so what use was there for''persicary beach?''"
9603There are even many,she explained,"that are strangers to you; and is it only myself?
9603There you are again with your nonsense,exclaimed lady Chia, sneeringly;"how could you have seen her before?"
9603There''s not a single person in the room,P''ing Erh rejoined,"and what shall I stay and do with him?"
9603These are indeed the only four characters,rejoined Chia Cheng,"that could be suitably used; but what''s to be said as far as the scroll goes?"
9603They''re all well done,she rejoined, with a smirk,"How is it you''ve written them so well?
9603This Taoist,he thought,"would seem to speak sensibly, and why should I not look at it and try its effect?"
9603This child too is somewhat simple,observed Chia Chen;"for what need has she to be taking off her clothes, and changing them for others?
9603This is, however, anonymous; whose work is it?
9603This lad,lady Feng observed smiling,"is when dressed up( as a girl), a living likeness of a certain person; did you notice it just now?"
9603This offence can, anyhow, be condoned; but, what is more, why did you also wink at Yün Erh? 9603 This perfume,"she said,"is not to be found in the world, and how could you discern what it is?
9603To what can you be alluding?
9603To- day,she also asked of goody Liu,"were you simply passing by?
9603Under the bed,continued Pao- yü,"is heaped up all that money, and is n''t it enough yet for you to lose from?"
9603Under the heavens many are the hills and rivers,Pao- yü rejoined,"and how could you know them all?
9603Venerable Sir,they pleaded,"why need you be so down upon him?
9603Wait a while,he therefore said smilingly;"let me unravel this excellent- finality song of yours; do you mind?"
9603Was it necessary that you should have done so much as made the comparison,Tai- yü urged,"and was there any need of even any laughter from you?
9603We''ll go to- morrow,Hsiang- yün rejoined;"for what''s the use of remaining here any longer-- to look at people''s mouths and faces?"
9603Well, in that case,Pao- yü rejoined with a smirking face,"where does this scent come from?"
9603Were I,Hsi Jen smiled sardonically,"to lose my temper over such concerns, would I be able to stand one moment longer in this room?
9603What Hsiang Ling ever came?
9603What about regret?
9603What about the whole company, and they and I?
9603What an idea?
9603What are these cold fragrance pills,remarked Pao- yü smiling,"that they have such a fine smell?
9603What are you in such a hurry for?
9603What are you running over here for at this time?
9603What are you sighing for?
9603What are you staring vacantly for?
9603What books are my cousins reading?
9603What can there possibly be to tell you?
9603What can this thing be?
9603What can we two do? 9603 What characters may I ask,"it consequently inquired,"will you inscribe?
9603What did she have to say for herself during this visit to- day?
9603What did you dream of?
9603What did your father at home tell you to say?
9603What do I care about how many?
9603What do you feel like after all when this complaint manifests itself?
9603What do you, gentlemen, think of this argument?
9603What felicitous occurrence will take place?
9603What flowers?
9603What foul man has taken hold of them?
9603What have I been up to again,he asked,"that you''re once more at me with your advice?
9603What have you come back again for?
9603What have you found out?
9603What have you people invited me to come here for?
9603What intimate friend is this again?
9603What is an office- philactery?
9603What is it?
9603What is the matter?
9603What is the meaning,therefore inquired Pao- yü,"of the Principal Record of the Twelve Maidens of Chin Ling?"
9603What is the name of this tea?
9603What is their price?
9603What is there in your idea to be done?
9603What is this place?
9603What is your worthy name, cousin?
9603What kind of magical mirror is it?
9603What matters are these?
9603What need is there to go to such trouble?
9603What perfume have you used, my cousin,he forthwith asked,"to fumigate your dresses with?
9603What time did you come over?
9603What was cousin Pao Ch''ai doing at home?
9603What wish is it you have?
9603What would you then suggest?
9603What''s it?
9603What''s that you''re saying?
9603What''s the book?
9603What''s the device to be for this spot?
9603What''s the good,protested Pao- yü,"of talking in this happy first moon of dying and of living?"
9603What''s the hurry?
9603What''s the matter with you?
9603What''s the matter?
9603What''s the name of this water- gate?
9603What''s the use,they said,"of asking him?
9603What''s there impossible about this?
9603What''s there that I could n''t be equal to?
9603What''s this that you''re driving at?
9603What''s your name?
9603When did you get here?
9603When was I ever in the room?
9603When you get into a passion, it''s easy enough for you to beat and abuse people; but what makes you fling away that stem of life?
9603Where are the three characters I wrote?
9603Where can I go?
9603Where did you see them?
9603Where do you come from?
9603Where do you find the propriety,a nurse thereupon interposed,"of an uncle going to sleep in the room of a nephew''s wife?"
9603Where does this water again issue from?
9603Where have all the gentlemen gone to?
9603Where is that bald- pated and crotchety superior of yours gone?
9603Where shall I go over to?
9603Which four characters?
9603Which is the gentleman,he inquired of Chia Chen,"who was born with a piece of jade in his mouth?
9603Which of them are you?
9603Whither do you purpose taking the object you have brought away?
9603Who are in attendance upon Pao- yü?
9603Who does n''t know him?
9603Who gave you this name?
9603Who has been telling old stories?
9603Who has ever asked you about it?
9603Who has, pray,he hastily inquired smilingly, after arriving at the end of his reflections,"indulged in Buddhistic mysteries?
9603Who is it?
9603Who is it?
9603Who is it?
9603Who is n''t aware of these facts?
9603Who of us has n''t seen a tiao?
9603Who presses your head down,Chia Cheng urged,"and uses force that you must come out with all these remarks?"
9603Who tells you to become a robber?
9603Who told you to bring it?
9603Who ventures to make fun of you?
9603Who''s gone mad again?
9603Who''s now in charge of the issue of the monthly allowances to the various temples?
9603Who''s this called Hsi Jen?
9603Whom have you told off to escort him?
9603Whose nail,she went on to inquire,"has scratched this open?"
9603Why did n''t you tell me they had come before?
9603Why did you not speak about this sooner?
9603Why did you, a short while back,Yü- ts''un inquired,"not allow me to issue the warrants?"
9603Why do they want to redeem you?
9603Why have you come back?
9603Why is it,the Chia consort inquired,"that there is no tablet in this Hall?"
9603Why is this Mr. Jui so bent upon coming?'' 9603 Why need you be so modest?"
9603Why notice a creature like her?
9603Why say I did n''t wear it?
9603Why should I allude to it?
9603Why should I cry?
9603Why should I urge him on?
9603Why should n''t she release me?
9603Why should this beast compass his own death? 9603 Why should we wait for them?"
9603Why that?
9603Why then ask after her? 9603 Why, who wants to play with you?"
9603Will you also screen him?
9603With the terms of friendship,he added,"which have existed for so many generations( between our families), is there any need for such apologies?"
9603Would not the four characters:''a phoenix comes with dignified air,''be better?
9603Would we eat anything with all that riff- raff?
9603You are not well?
9603You do n''t mean to tell me,observed Mrs. Yu,"that you do n''t know this Chiao Ta?
9603You may well have heard the two words''hao liao,''answered the Taoist with a smile,"but can you be said to have fathomed their meaning?
9603You people,he said,"remain waiting upon him the whole day long at school, but what books has he after all read?
9603You should really be called Hui Ch''i,( latent fragrance), that would be proper; and why such stuff as Hui Hsiang,( orchid fragrance)?
9603You''re again up to your larks,she observed,"but what''s the aim of your visit?
9603Your name is,he said,"no trumped- up story; for you, verily, resemble a precious gem; but where''s the valuable trinket you had in your mouth?"
9603Your style?
9603Your words are quite devoid of sense,Tai- yü added;"whether you go or not what''s that to me?
9603''A natural landscape,''says, an ancient author in four words; and why?
9603''How could you be more ingenious than they?''
9603''How many kinds of rice are there?''
9603A matron, who was attached as a personal attendant( to Mrs. Ch''in,) and who happened to be standing by interposed:"How could it be otherwise?"
9603Addressing at the same time the matrons, she went on to ask,"Have Miss Lin''s luggage and effects been brought in?
9603After Chia Cheng had retired out of the hall, the Chia consort made it a point to ask:"How is it that I do not see Pao- yü?"
9603After a time, the lady relatives dispersed, and madame Wang seized the opportunity to inquire of lady Feng,"What do you purpose doing to- day?"
9603After the mutual salutations, Hsi Jen went on to ask of Pao- yü:"Where did you have your repast?
9603All the members of my family are elsewhere, and there''s only myself in this place, so that how could I end my days here?"
9603Am I right in assuming this or not?"
9603Among the party of attendants was an old man, who interposed,"Do n''t baffle her object,"he expostulated;"why make a fool of her?"
9603An ingenious wife can not make boiled rice without raw rice; and what would you have me do?
9603And as she spoke,"Is our carriage ready?"
9603And did she come to know about it would she again ever forgive me?"
9603And hastily taking once more Tai- yü''s hand in her own:"How old are you, cousin?"
9603And is this now enough for wines, and enough for the theatricals?"
9603And that how is it possible for us to continue our studies in here?"
9603And with such a temperament and deportment as hers, which of our relatives and which of our elders do n''t love her?''
9603Are the generals and ministers who have been from ages of old still in the flesh, forsooth?
9603Are you also perchance well aware of the place of retreat of this homicide?"
9603As Yü- ts''un bowed and expressed his appreciation in most profuse language,--"Pray,"he asked,"where does your honoured brother- in- law reside?
9603As the proverb has it: The Emperor himself has three families of poverty- stricken relatives; and how much more such as you and I?"
9603Besides, does his conduct consist, for the most part, of anything that would make one get any face?
9603Besides, have I forsooth had a single acre of land or a couple of houses, the value of which I''ve run through as soon as it came into my hands?
9603Besides, were we to have our house got ready in a scramble, wo n''t it make people think it strange?
9603But I have sure enough found you out, so what''s the need of still prevaricating?
9603But I wonder whether you will entertain favourably my modest invitation?"
9603But am I here to afford you people amusement that you will compare me to an actress, and make the whole lot have a laugh at me?"
9603But did she ever imagine that I would freeze to death?"
9603But do n''t we forsooth, even so much as come up to you?
9603But do you and yours, perchance, know of any good practitioner?"
9603But do you think that young gentleman, Mr. Hsüeh, would yield his claim to her person?
9603But espying She Yüeh enter the room, he said with alacrity:"What''s up with your sister?"
9603But fancy allowing servants in this household to go on in this way; why, what will be the end of it?"
9603But how is it that the Chia family have likewise fallen into this common practice?"
9603But if you, sir, go on in this way, will you not, instead of doing him any good, aggravate his illness?"
9603But may it please your worship to consider carefully this plan and see what you think of it?"
9603But raise your eyes and look about you; who is n''t your venerable ladyship''s son and daughter?
9603But reader, do you want to know the sequel?
9603But suddenly, she saw Pao- ch''ai come in and inquire:"Where''s cousin Pao- yü gone?"
9603But tell me, are there any that will do among the mottoes suggested just now by all the gentlemen?"
9603But these words of mine are also incorrect, eh?
9603But this remark was scarcely ended when they heard his wife say:"Are you again in the clouds?
9603But was it likely that Pao- yü would be willing to go back?
9603But what you''ve lost are simply a few cash, and do you behave in this manner?
9603But what''s to be done now?"
9603But when did I hear you, pray, give me a word of advice of any kind?"
9603But when he saw that Lin Tai- yü was at the moment in the room, Pao- yü speedily inquired of her:"Which place do you think best to live in?"
9603But where do you come from at this time?"
9603But who do you presume is this lady Secunda?
9603But who would have anticipated that he could ever in his quiet seclusion have become a prey to a spirit of restlessness?
9603But who would have foreseen the issue?
9603But why discuss third parties?
9603But why should I not go in and inquire for myself?"
9603But would Pao- yü agree to not introducing them into the garden?
9603But would Pao- yü, upon hearing these words, submit to this decree?
9603Ch''in Chung answered laughing;"do you fear that if you told her to pour you one, that she would n''t; and what need is there that I should tell her?"
9603Chia Yün upon hearing this propitious language, hastily drew near one step, and designedly asked:"Does really uncle often refer to me?"
9603Chih Neng compressed her lips and sneeringly rejoined,"Are you going to have a fight even over a cup of tea?
9603Chih Neng got in a dreadful state, and stamping her feet, cried,"What are you up to?"
9603Chou Jui''s wife then asked Hsiang Ling,"At what age did you enter this family?
9603Chou?"
9603Chou?"
9603Consider, how many drops of tears can there be in the eyes?
9603Contentment and pleasure are to be found in whose family courts?
9603Do n''t you yet get out of this?"
9603Do you forsooth mean to imply that my wish is to become your tool?
9603Do you maintain that their union will not be remarkable?
9603Do you perhaps know him?"
9603Facing the breeze, her shadow she doth watch, Who''s meet this moonlight night with her to match?
9603For have I, do you imagine, gone to the trouble of having a performance and laying a feast for their special benefit?
9603For what purpose have I for all these days racked my heart with woes?
9603From old till now of parents soft many, But filial sons and grandsons who have seen?
9603From old till now the statesmen where are they?
9603Had it in past days been treated with such medicine as could strengthen the heart, and improve the respiration, would it have reached this stage?
9603Had we not others to depend upon for your studies, would we have in our house the means sufficient to engage a teacher?
9603Had you told me just one word at an early hour, what could n''t have been brought about?
9603Has Mr. Pao- yü perhaps given you offence?"
9603Has not your lady, may I ask, heretofore at the period of the catamenia, suffered, if indeed not from anaemia, then necessarily from plethora?
9603Have you even forgotten the place where you started in life?
9603Have you got any jade or not?"
9603Having arrived in a short while,"How many sorts of things are there in all?"
9603Having forthwith given directions to bring fire and burn it, a voice was heard in the air to say,"Who told you to look into the face of it?
9603Having passed these remarks, she inquired of Mrs. Chou,"Have you let madame know, yes or no?"
9603Her gracefulness?
9603Her modesty?
9603His mother, née Hu, hearing him mutter;"Why meddle again,"she explained,"in things that do n''t concern you?
9603How can I know what goes on between you two?"
9603How can this not make my heart sore- stricken?"
9603How could I ever presume to pick out hers?"
9603How could you know the beauties of this play?
9603How could you remember such as ourselves?"
9603How did it happen that our aunt died at such an early period?"
9603How ever could she come up to you?"
9603How is it that you at once do what she bids you, with even greater alacrity than you would an imperial edict?"
9603How is it then that you do n''t find your way as far as there; for she may possibly remember old times, and some good may, no one can say, come of it?
9603How is it, cousin, that you did n''t understand what I meant to imply?"
9603How is that you have no sense of shame?''
9603How is your wife getting on?
9603How many servants has she brought along with her?
9603How much did you lose?"
9603Hsi Jen did not make any reply to his first question, and it was only when he had repeated it that Hsi Jen remarked:"Do you ask me?
9603Hsi Jen immediately picked up the hair- pin, as she remarked:"What''s up with you at this early hour of the morning?
9603Hsi Jen replied;"and do you still expect me to tell you?"
9603Huang?"
9603I have besides no revenue collectors as relatives, or friends in official positions; and what way could we devise?
9603I myself am looked upon as having the gift of the gab, but why is it that I ca n''t talk in such a wise as to put down this monkey?
9603I simply went over to her place for a run, and that quite casually, and will you insinuate all these things?"
9603I think he''s in the library; but why not go and see for yourself, uncle Pao?"
9603I''ll take P''ing Erh over and exchange her for her; what do you say to that?
9603I''ll tell you what, however; if you have anything to say, why not utter it in intelligible language?
9603I''ve often had the honour of being your guest, and what will it matter if I wait a little?"
9603If the union will you say, be strange, how is it then that their love affair will be but empty words?
9603In days of plenty there''s a lack of dearth and of distress, And what need then is there to plough and weave with such briskness?
9603In plenteous streams the candles''tears do drop, but for whom do they weep?
9603In the same way, this calamity of birth and the visitation of death, who is able to escape?
9603Is it because you''re more respectable than they that you do n''t choose to listen to my words?"
9603Is it forsooth likely that there''s honey in my hand?"
9603Is it forsooth nice to think that people have n''t so much as a hand- stove, and that one has fussily to be sent over from home?
9603Is it indeed she?
9603Is it likely that gentlemen will cheat you?
9603Is it likely that you bear me a grudge for being about to go to school, because when I leave you, you''ll all feel dull?"
9603Is it likely that you expect some one to request you to confer upon us the favour of your instruction?"
9603Is it likely you would have me go and play the robber?"
9603Is it likely you would n''t have us speak to each other?"
9603Is it perchance about him that you are inquiring?"
9603Is it perchance that you expect us young ladies to go and intercede for you?
9603Is it perhaps, who knows, that aunt is a stranger in this establishment, and that we have in fact no right to come over here to see her?"
9603Is n''t it?"
9603Is n''t this absurd, eh?"
9603Is there perchance any news astir in the streets, or in the public places?"
9603It''s really written in beautiful style; and were you to once begin reading it, why even for your very rice you would n''t have a thought?"
9603Jui?"
9603Jung?"
9603Lady Feng having again called Mrs. Chou, asked her:"When you first informed madame about them, what did she say?"
9603Like a dragon in motion wriggling in a stream; Her refinement?
9603Like a fir- tree growing in a barren plain; Her comeliness?
9603Like a white plum in spring with snow nestling in its broken skin; Her purity?
9603Lin Tai- yü just happened to be standing by, and having set the question to Pao- yü"Where do you come from?"
9603May I be allowed, I wonder, to do so?"
9603May I not be allowed to judge for myself?"
9603Mrs. Chou looked at her for some time before she at length smiled and replied,"Old goody Liu, are you well?
9603Mrs. Chou promptly asked the nurse in a low tone of voice:"Is the young lady asleep at this early hour?
9603Mrs. Chou was bent upon making some further remark, when madame Wang was suddenly heard to enquire,"Who is in here?"
9603Now besides from the heavens has dropped such a mighty piece of good luck; and in what place will there be no need of servants?
9603Now does your worship know who this girl is who was sold?"
9603Now had he broken that jade, as he hurled it on the ground, would n''t it have been my fault?
9603Now tell me, are not these words ridiculous?
9603Now were he to come to- day, and I to come to- morrow, would n''t there be, by a division of this kind, always some one with you every day?
9603Now what do you say to this?
9603Now wo n''t this be a considerable saving of trouble?"
9603Now, Sir Priest, what are your views on the subject?"
9603Now, how can you ever compare yourself with her?
9603Now, reader, do you want to know the sequel?
9603Now, sister- in- law, tell me, is my heart sore or not?
9603Now, tell me, was not this a novel and strange occurrence?
9603Nurse Li however still kept on asking about Pao- yü,"How much rice he now ate at one meal?
9603Old goody Liu was already by this time prostrated on the ground, and after making several obeisances,"How are you, my lady?"
9603P''ing Erh forthwith entered the room on this side, and upon perceiving Chou Jui''s wife:"What have you come here again for, my old lady?"
9603Pao- yü and the rest lost no time in rising and offering her a seat, whereupon Pao Ch''ai added with a smile,"How can you say such things?"
9603Pao- yü at this question, could not for a time unfold its meaning:"What''warm''scent?"
9603Pao- yü eagerly exclaimed smiling,"if I said that she should come to our house, does it necessarily imply that she should be a servant?
9603Pao- yü observed advisingly;"and had n''t you made sport of her, would she have presumed to have said anything about you?"
9603Pao- yü then kept his hands off, and as he laughed,"Tell me,"he asked,"will you again come out with all those words or not?"
9603Perceiving him in this plight,"What is the matter?"
9603Reader, can you suggest whence the story begins?
9603Reader, do you wish to know what follows?
9603Secundus?"
9603She perused these lines twice, and, turning round, she asked Ying Erh laughingly:"Why do n''t you go and pour the tea?
9603Shih- yin upon hearing these words, hastily came up to the priest,"What were you so glibly holding forth?"
9603So long as you do n''t pry into my doings it will be enough; and will I go so far as to bear you a grudge?"
9603Tai- yü urged,"are n''t those pillows outside?
9603Taking also his hand in his, he inquired of Pao- yü what was his age?
9603Tell me, my lady,( what''s come to) Wang Erh''s wife?
9603The clothes may be no matter how fine, but what is their worth, after all?
9603The conversation ran on what had occurred after the separation, and Yü- ts''un inquired,"Is there any news of any kind in the capital?"
9603The nurse called out to them and stopped them,"Have you two gentlemen,"she said,"come out from seeing master?"
9603The only thing is that if she goes on, day after day, doing nothing else than clamour in this manner, how can she let people get along?
9603The poet says appositely:-- Pages full of silly litter, Tears a handful sour and bitter; All a fool the author hold, But their zest who can unfold?
9603The pond who ever sinuous could hold?
9603The whole body of doctors who at present go in and out of our household, are they worth having?
9603Their encounter was likewise not accidental; for had it been, how was it that this Feng Yüan took a fancy to Ying Lien?
9603There are now in the garden some young actors engaged in making their preparations?"
9603There is n''t, I hope, any objection to my seeing him?"
9603These were the sentiments affixed below: When riches will have flown will honours then avail?
9603They have this very day got the paper, and gone to paste it; and would they, for whatever they need, have still waited until they had been sent for?
9603This Chin Jung,"he went on to inquire as he turned towards Lei Kuei,"is the relative or friend of what branch of the family?"
9603This Hsüeh family, just a while back spoken of, how could your worship presume to provoke?
9603This is a private room; so that if you sat down, what would it matter?"
9603This is the inevitable destiny of dissolution and continuance which prevails in the mortal world, and what need is there to indulge in useless grief?
9603This was your idea was n''t it?
9603To what, my dear Sir, do I owe the pleasure of your visit?"
9603Upon asking"What''s the matter?"
9603Was it only to give our minds to eating fruit?"
9603Were it not for Chiao Ta, and him alone, where would your office, honours, riches and dignity be?
9603Were you allowed to go on in this mysterious manner, what strange doings would you be up to?
9603Were your master Mr. Chen to hear of it, would you die or live?"
9603What are the duties of the one you want, I wonder?"
9603What are, however, the events recorded in this work?
9603What do you say; will this suit you or not?"
9603What else is there besides?"
9603What errand have n''t you delivered as yet, ma; and what is it you''re holding?"
9603What help is there, but Heaven''s will to brook?
9603What is her chastity like?
9603What is most valuable is a precious thing; and what is most firm is jade, but what value do you possess and what firmness is innate in you?"
9603What is this hazy notion about relatives distant or close?
9603What medicines are you taking?
9603What name will it be fit to give it?"
9603What place is there that you ca n''t go to and play; and who told you to run over there and bring upon yourself all this shame?"
9603What was the germ of love?
9603What was this idea which you had resolved in your mind?
9603What would one then do?"
9603What''s it?"
9603What''s the need of staying here and beating this gourd of ennui?"
9603What''s there so pressing that has prevented you from returning home?
9603When Chia Cheng heard these words, he exclaimed:"You''re talking still more stuff and nonsense?"
9603When Hsi Jen perceived the tone, so unlike that of other days, with which these words were pronounced:"What''s this that you''re saying?"
9603When Pao- yü heard this news,"Who''ll go,"he speedily ascertained of the waiting- maids,"and inquire after her?
9603When tea was over,"Judging,"he inquired,"Doctor, from the present action of the pulses, is there any remedy or not?"
9603When the seniors of the family still lived, they all looked upon him with exceptional regard; but who at present ventures to interfere with him?
9603When will you give us a few sheets to stick on the wall?"
9603Whence cometh all this mixed confusion on a day so still?
9603Whence will,"he therefore went on to ask,"the money required for this purpose come from?"
9603Where was she born?
9603Whether you listen or not is of no consequence; and is it worth while that you should behave as you do?"
9603Which of those foster brothers whom you have now discarded, is n''t clearly better than others?
9603While lady Feng advanced leisurely, she inquired,"How many plays have been recited?"
9603Who are the dramatis personae?
9603Who else has come along with him?"
9603Who is it then that your Worship purposes having arrested?"
9603Who''s your sister?
9603Why ask about price?
9603Why do n''t you yet salute your cousin?"
9603Why how then is it that he has come to meet her again in this existence?
9603Why my brother was with me here last month; did n''t you see him?
9603Why not pack him off to some distant farm, and have done with him?"
9603Why should not you and I avail ourselves of this opportunity to likewise go down into the world?
9603Why then should you not go?"
9603Why, if you keep him in your house, wo n''t he be a source of mischief?
9603Why, in whose household is there anything substantial?
9603Will not thy heart be charmed on thy visit by the sight?
9603Will this do?"
9603Would n''t the four characters be better denoting''an isthmus with smart weed, and a stream with flowers''?"
9603You have to bear suspense only for two or three days, and what need is there to be sorrowful and dejected?''
9603You yourselves have mistaken what is false for what is true, and why burn this glass of mine?"
9603You''ll find sitting here,"she continued,"very dull, and why not go out and have a stroll?"
9603You''ve come from far off with a pure heart and honest purpose, and how can I ever not show you the way how to see this living Buddha?
9603and also inquired,"In what year of your teens are you?
9603and at what time he went to sleep?"
9603and did n''t they inquire of you where you were going?"
9603and do n''t you yet carefully and circumspectly put it on?
9603and do n''t you yet put down the money?"
9603and do you not remember what occurred, in years gone by, in the Hu Lu Temple?"
9603and do you want to fool me now?"
9603and forthwith entering the grotto, Chia Cheng went on to ask of Chia Chen,"Are there any boats or not?"
9603and had she given me any offence, what concern would that too have been of yours?"
9603and have you still an eye as envious and a heart so covetous?
9603and how could they continue to drop from autumn to winter and from spring to flow till summer time?
9603and how many more are short?"
9603and how then could I speak as I should?"
9603and if successful in effecting the salvation of a few of them, will it not be a work meritorious and virtuous?"
9603and in what place will they descend?"
9603and is it likely, pray, that in the future there will only be cousin Pao- yü to carry you, our old lady, on his head, up the Wu T''ai Shan?
9603and is n''t it better than he should return home?
9603and is n''t this raising yourself up li by li?
9603and now do you wait until he has summoned a man of glorious fortune and prosperous standing to at last desist?"
9603and of what place are you a native?"
9603and were he to have heard that my lady had private means, would he not have been still more reckless in spending?
9603and were she even to wear out a suit of new clothes a- day, what would that too amount to?
9603and were you to have shown them some favour and consideration, who would have ventured to have said''do n''t?''
9603and what do you make other people think of you?"
9603and what do you mean, instead, by running out, and speaking with the window between?"
9603and what is his official capacity?
9603and what place will I be taken to?
9603and what time did you come back?"
9603and whence does she come?
9603and where are your father and mother at present?"
9603and who has n''t been dismounted from her horse by Hsi Jen?
9603and whom would you like me to go and ask; who''s it that does n''t back you?
9603and why did you wait until things came to such a pass, and did n''t even exercise any check?"
9603and why then will you get angry with me?"
9603and wo n''t you yet from this time change this habit of yours?
9603and you again were afraid lest she should have hurt my feelings, but, had I had a row with her, what would that have been to you?
9603and you just take that looking- glass and see for yourself, whether you be fit to serve tea and to hand water or not?"
9603are you quite well again, sister?"
9603asked Chou Jui''s wife;"but after all, what rooted kind of complaint are you subject to, miss?
9603asked Pao- yü smiling;"what about sister Hsi Jen?"
9603attend to them you may; but must you carry about you a placard( to make it public)?
9603but from this time forth, I''ll become mute, and not say one word to you; and what if I do?"
9603but to what really does it owe its rise?"
9603but who are those who are, in every respect, up to the mark?
9603communed goody Liu in her heart,"What can be its use?"
9603do get down and let both you and I sit together in this carriage; and wo n''t that be nice?"
9603eagerly observed Pao- yü with a grin, when he caught these words,"are there really eight characters too on your necklet, cousin?
9603eh?"
9603exclaimed Mrs. Chao,"who bade you( presume so high) as to get up into that lofty tray?
9603exclaimed Yü- ts''un,"did this affair take place in that family?
9603exclaimed lady Feng, as she forced a smile,"is it you who have been remiss?
9603for by so doing wo n''t you yourself be aggravating your ailment?"
9603for what family has such a lot of money as to indulge in this useless extravagance?"
9603gently a bit; is it likely you''ve never seen any one put one on before?
9603have I given away to any one what was yours?"
9603have you still got this failing?
9603have you,"she asked,"put on again your new clothes for?
9603he asked,"are you able to undertake these commissions?
9603he exclaimed,"at Yang Chou, where your official residence is, has occurred a remarkable affair; have you heard about it?"
9603he exclaimed,"why should you frighten me so?
9603how is she, after all, to- day?"
9603inquired Hsi Jen, smiling, as she tried to stifle her blushes,"and whence comes all this perspiration?"
9603is it really she?"
9603nurse Li added;"do you imagine that I''m not aware of the dismissal, the other day, of Hsi Hsüeh, on account of a cup of tea?
9603or did you come with any express object?"
9603she asked of him;"and what did he send us over here to do?
9603she exclaimed;"How is it that during the few days I''ve not seen you, you have grown so thin?"
9603she inquired;"Have you been to school?
9603she interposed,"and what good would come by hurting her feelings?
9603she rejoined;"do I know?
9603she remarked,"and do you pay any notice to me?
9603sister- in- law,"exclaimed Chia Jui,"do n''t you recognise even me?"
9603specially to come here?
9603speedily shouted Li Kuei,"does this son of a dog happen to know of the existence of all these gnawing maggots?"
9603the old lady will I fear be anxious on your account; and is it pray that you have n''t as yet had enough walking?"
9603the old rat ascertained,''and how many species of fruits?''
9603to which question Pao- yü replied:"Do you call this early?
9603was n''t it perhaps that if she played with me, she would be demeaning herself, and making herself cheap?
9603what I said about her years back has come out quite correct; but from all you say, shall I to- day be able to see her?"
9603what do you mean by it?
9603what relics and curiosities there were at Yang Chou?
9603what sights and antiquities she saw on the journey?
9603what sort of thing am I?
9603what were the local customs and the habits of the people?"
9603what''s it?"
9603what''s that to do with you?"
9603what''s the use of coming out with all you''ve said?
9603when will you turn a new leaf?"
9603where were you off to now?"
9603who and what kind of person have I become to do such a thing?
9603why come again and ask me?"
9603why then did you the other day, when you were in the old lady''s rooms, and there was not a soul present, hold her in your arms?
9603why was I ever born in this household of a marquis and in the mansion of a duke?
9603will depart, and dwell though you will in that mass of gauze, who is there who will know how to spoil you with any fond attention?
