2076 | What do you mean? |
2076 | At length he was summoned into the presence of Kublai Khan, who said to him,"What is it you want?" |
2076 | How should such men trouble themselves with the conventionalities of this world, or care what people may think of them?" |
2076 | How, then, is it that some men are evil while others are good? |
2076 | Light asked Nothing, saying:"Do you, sir, exist, or do you not exist?" |
2076 | My fields, my gardens, are choked with weeds: should I not go? |
2076 | My soul has led a bondsman''s life: why should I remain to pine? |
2076 | Of what use, asked his great rival, is Hui Tzu to the world? |
2076 | The four seasons pursue their courses and all things are produced; but does God say anything?" |
2076 | The latter pointed out that Confucius, when asked to speak, so that his disciples might have something to record, had bluntly replied:"Does God speak? |
2076 | The times are out of joint for me; and what have I to seek from men? |
2076 | Then when nothing came into existence, could one really say whether it belonged to existence or non- existence?" |

13118 | Is there, perhaps, a true religion somewhere? 13118 Tell me"I ask"of these men, which is the better judge?" |
13118 | Again I ask:"And is it true that you''ve a Yâmen, a police judge, all your own?" |

13118 | What is that-- that-- Thing? |
13118 | What shall be said of blood- brotherhood between man and man? |
13118 | What, I wonder, is civilization? |
13118 | Who am I, that I should die for these? |

41878 | 337{ 3} CHINA IN TRANSITION CHAPTER I WHAT HAS AWAKENED CHINA? |
41878 | A foreigner, talking about Esperanto, remarked:"What would be the use of making an universal language? |
41878 | After we had talked some time the question was put plainly to them:"Would they support such a University?" |
41878 | At last he was asked,"Have you never allowed you were wrong in your whole life?" |
41878 | But why not accept the Chinese architecture as eminently fitted for the climate? |
41878 | Could any Western power hope to accomplish such a feat? |
41878 | Could any form of architecture be less suited to a country like China, where the sun is frequently oppressively hot, than Gothic architecture? |
41878 | Do they forbid both vices equally? |
41878 | He inquired,"If a University is started in China on such lines as you propose, will you guarantee that the teachers are efficient?" |
41878 | How can spiritual ministrations be performed by aliens, supported by alien money collected from a possibly hostile race? |
41878 | How is it possible that a mission like this can really solve the problem of making Christianity a national religion? |
41878 | Is it likely that they will be either able or willing to send into other countries efficient teachers of Western education? |
41878 | Is there any monument in the whole world that has more feeling of beauty about it? |
41878 | One may well ask what has accomplished this change, what has awakened China? |
41878 | The question is,"Will you become a materialist or a Christian?" |
41878 | The question put to the Chinaman is not,"Will you be Roman or Protestant?" |
41878 | They have intimate contact with the Chinese; they know both the recent origin of this vice and its terrible ravages; and what do they do? |
41878 | Those who have not realised the size of China will be perhaps inclined to ask why not unite the two schemes? |
41878 | WHAT HAS AWAKENED CHINA? |
41878 | We then changed the conversation to the question of"whether Confucius believed in God or not?" |
41878 | What will Chinese Christianity be? |
41878 | Who{ 24} can tell how we shall speak of China a few years hence? |
41878 | Why should there be any difference when another Oriental race comes in close proximity with Europe? |
41878 | Would any English parish like as its Rector a Chinaman, even if he were saintly and went so far as to cut off his queue? |

31571 | Who can these be, and whence have they come? |
31571 | Why do you trouble yourself to conquer Kumaso? |
31571 | With all the ships? |
31571 | Would you like to live? |
31571 | Yes,he replied;"my father and mother are both dead, and who but I can pray for their happiness in the world to come?" |
31571 | ''Why do you not leave the place?'' |
31571 | And why did Nitta, who is himself a samurai, permit her to do so?" |
31571 | But who among them was ready to yield life for duty? |
31571 | Can you design to do so?" |
31571 | Could she deliver up her babes to death? |

31571 | Do you think the Mogu are coming?" |
31571 | Does not this make them thieves and villains? |
31571 | Have the gods forsaken us, and sent this host of strangers to our undoing?" |
31571 | His kinsmen advised him to refuse, but Mehe sent the horse, saying,"Would you quarrel with your neighbor for a horse?" |
31571 | How can such as these put down evil and preserve holiness? |
31571 | Is there a country in the sky? |
31571 | Meanwhile how was Galdan engaged? |
31571 | Mehe again complied, saying to his friends,"Would you have me undertake a war for the sake of a woman?" |
31571 | Should I be acting against thy decrees, O Heaven, if I sought to place a new prince on the throne?" |

31571 | The dogs.--But who direct and urge on the dogs? |
31571 | Thus far his progress had been irresistible, and should a mere expanse of water put an end to his westward march? |
31571 | What say you to that?" |
31571 | What were the steps taken by the new shogun to insure this happy result? |
31571 | Why, then, should they not speak to me?" |
31571 | Yet could she abandon her mother, whom she had been taught as her first and highest duty to guard and revere? |
31571 | _ But that is all._""And how many can you lead?" |
57382 | Chopsticks? |
57382 | Did-- you----? |
57382 | Do you mean it, Margaret? |
57382 | Do you see the one with very black hair, his face turned away a little-- the one in the grey suit, Margaret? 57382 Feel as comfortable as you look?" |
57382 | How could I come back to you-- and to your loyalty and trust-- with the shadow of that deception between us? 57382 How is your august mother, my lord?" |
57382 | Missee- sabe- master- have- got- one mother? |
57382 | Much better way, do n''t you think, than taking great meals many hours apart? |
57382 | Queer? 57382 Shoes, Chan- King?" |
57382 | The little bird- lady out there-- mother of Li- Ying? |
57382 | What do you say? |
57382 | What if they should fall in love-- marry? |
57382 | Where could death take one of us that the other could not follow? |
57382 | Where is Li- Ying, then? |
57382 | Which one? |
57382 | Why do you wish to end our friendship? |
57382 | You like it better than you like American clothes? |
57382 | And before I left, she said to me,''If she is all you tell me she is, why do you not bring her here?'' |
57382 | Are n''t you afraid to go to China? |
57382 | Are you glad?" |
57382 | Are you really going? |
57382 | As I could read the foreign titles, would I kindly arrange the pictures in proper sequence? |
57382 | But how can I know?" |
57382 | But they can make no difference with us-- you understand that, Margaret, dear?" |
57382 | But which one could we leave to enjoy those advantages? |
57382 | Chan- King looked at me long in silence and then, sighing humorously, he asked,"What of their father''s example my dear?" |
57382 | How can they do it?" |
57382 | How can you give up beautiful America? |
57382 | How can you leave your mother? |
57382 | How, then, could our child be so? |
57382 | On the way home Chan- King said,"Will this be difficult for you, Margaret?" |
57382 | Once when I confessed this fact to him, he said,"Do you love me only because I am Chinese?" |
57382 | Should you like to go, my dearest?" |
57382 | That is to say, none but practical reasons, and what have they to do with young people in love? |
57382 | Then he said, in his abrupt manner,"You are happy in that dress?" |
57382 | What could destroy our happiness now?" |
57382 | What have I to fear?" |
57382 | When are you going?" |
27861 | Have not the colonists a right to import a drug, which is legally an article of import, allowed by the crown? |
27861 | Oh know you the land of the orange and myrtle? |
27861 | Zounds, how he sleeps,"where, where, oh where is my hammock boy? |
27861 | And whence gains the cheroot its magical properties? |
27861 | And where will be those who breathe and walk one hundred years hence? |
27861 | But what does my poor pen with what our own wizard of the west, Washington Irving, has made immortal? |
27861 | But_ will_ they come?" |
27861 | Cheroots, then; who is there amongst the masculine dwellers of the land of"_ musquitoes_ and myrtle,"that affects not the gentle cheroot? |

27861 | One gentleman asks in relation to the subject:"What do we know of the rebellion? |

45167 | And if dreaded in September what must it be in January? |
45167 | And supposing we took possession of two islands, how many would France take? |
45167 | Besides, past experience had taught us to look for the dreaded north wind after rain, and how could we abide its onset in such a condition? |
45167 | Bright treat those who ventured to express opinions at variance with his own? |
45167 | But how to carry it? |
45167 | But supposing even that the insurrection had been successful, what substantial advantage would have accrued to Poland? |

45167 | How long would the kingdom have been likely to maintain its existence under such conditions? |
45167 | How was it that we did not sometimes by accident stumble on a bit of soft ground at night- time? |
45167 | Huc explains this almost in the words--"Am I a dog that you should cross my threshold with whips to chastise me?" |
45167 | It did seem cruel to put heavy loads on such suffering creatures, but what else could be done? |
45167 | Now what do the facts say, even as Mr. Cobden himself has stated them? |
45167 | Or ought we to start by break of day with our whole baggage to Peking, and trust to arranging matters there? |
45167 | Or was he proud to show his friends that he had such distinguished guests in his tent? |
45167 | Ought we to wait till the morrow, and try ourselves to hire beasts of burden at Tung- chow, with this shaven head probably plotting against us? |
45167 | Then why do n''t they do it? |
45167 | This break- down of our mainstay was unfortunate, for as we could not get on with his assistance, how could we manage without it? |
45167 | Were we lamas, or Chara- chun? |
45167 | Why should not emancipated Russia issue forth from Europe and subjugate Asia? |
45167 | Would they sink or swim? |
45167 | You sternly order them to their work, but are met by the unanswerable question, how can they work without food? |

2133 | While you do not know life, how can you know about death? |
2133 | And what are these passages? |
2133 | And what is the result of all this? |
2133 | By what means would a man chronicle the glory of his ancestors, indite the marriage deed, or comfort anxious parents when exiled to a distant land? |
2133 | Can it be supposed that, if true, nothing of all this has yet been brought to light? |
2133 | For these men are not of us; We are like the horse and the cow;[@] If you associate with them, Who will expel these crocodiles and snakes? |

2133 | Where, then, is this scourge of which men speak? |
2133 | Who 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? |
2133 | Why then sacrifice so much for such trifling gain? |

27481 | And now-- is it too late? |
27481 | And who can blame them? |
27481 | But where was the famous lamassery that lay at its foot? |
27481 | Did ever pilgrim tread a more beautiful path to the Delectable Mountains? |

27481 | The question one naturally asks is, Why do these men become lamas; do they do it willingly or under compulsion? |
27481 | Then, riding up with thumbs held high in greeting, they would cry to me"San?" |
27481 | To whom will they now fall? |

11367 | A much more difficult question, however, faced him: How was the empire to be governed? |
11367 | And how could it be ascertained whom Heaven had destined as successor if the existing dynasty was brought down? |
11367 | But how was it that the Mongol rule did not collapse until some forty years later? |
11367 | But what had happened to the Toba? |
11367 | But what was the position of the"official"religion? |
11367 | But what was the purpose of all this? |
11367 | But what were the traders to do with their profits? |
11367 | But whence came the officials? |
11367 | But why not by the Toba? |
11367 | Can the Chinese eradicate this tendency? |
11367 | How can we explain that Buddhism had gained such influence? |
11367 | How could unity be restored in these things? |
11367 | How was it that in spite of all this the Manchus were able to establish themselves? |
11367 | Northern Ch''i( Chinese? |

11367 | Or should the right wing prevail, an alliance be concluded with the capitalists, and limits be set to the expropriation of landed estates? |
11367 | Or was"white horse"no longer a horse at all but something quite different? |

11367 | Why should not they join in this struggle for the Chinese imperial throne? |
11367 | Why was it that the Mongols were able to be so much more successful than their predecessors? |

33712 | A more serious question for the ruler was, how did it affect his own position with regard to his subjects? |
33712 | An officer( Kho Dalay?) |
33712 | And how had this soldier of fortune acted towards his own country when he had received everything from her that he needed? |
33712 | And what was that law? |
33712 | But what is that fortunate stroke of diplomacy to be? |
33712 | Did Yakoob Beg appear in the eyes of the Kashgari as an exacting and oppressive tyrant on account of these heavy impositions? |
33712 | Does this concession, which we never made use of, entitle us to send a mission to the Chinese in Kashgar? |

33712 | What better epitaph could be placed over a courageous and just ruler? |
33712 | What 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? |
33712 | What have been the mutual relations between England, Russia, and China? |
33712 | What necessity could be alleged to justify a scarcely excusable attack in a moral sense, and a quite unnecessary in a political? |
33712 | What, then, have been the mutual relations between England and China in the past? |
33712 | Why therefore will you persist in coming to it? |
33712 | and how is it to be brought to pass? |
6708 | At the end of the tour he asked how much greater he was than his minister? |
6708 | Can not men respect its decrees? |
6708 | Could it be done? |
6708 | He asked:"Are these proceedings worthy, I will not say of princes, but of men possessing the least spark of honor? |
6708 | He exclaimed,"What need have I of gold after my death? |
6708 | He wrapped up this counsel in the exhortation,"What is the use of embarrassing ourselves with wealth? |
6708 | How could the Sungs expect to avoid the same fate, or to propitiate the most implacable and insatiable of conquering races? |
6708 | If Heaven had not favored me should I have succeeded in destroying with such ease those who withdrew into the desert of Shamo? |
6708 | If they had paid heed to it, should we ever have reached this spot?" |
6708 | In 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?" |
6708 | Is not the fate of man decreed by heaven?" |
6708 | Oh, heaven, shall I be acting against thy desires if I sought to place a new prince of this family on the throne?" |
6708 | The English no doubt demanded more than they ought, but what was the use of arguing with them, as they were masters of the situation? |
6708 | What are the advantages which Russia possesses over England in dealing with China? |
6708 | What is the conclusion to which the observations of all first- hand students of China have conducted them? |
6708 | What would China be worth to Russia? |
6708 | What would you say if we were to transport ourselves to Europe and to act there as you have done here? |
6708 | What, in brief, was the Chinese case? |
6708 | Who is more worthy of it than our general?" |
6708 | Would you stand it for a moment? |
26070 | And what about your wife and family? 26070 And what may the price be?" |
26070 | And 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? |
26070 | Are you dissatisfied with the services I have rendered to you to- day? |
26070 | But are you aware who I am? |
26070 | But 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?" |
26070 | But how am I to get you out? |
26070 | But how can such a ceremony be performed over persons who are still alive? |
26070 | But is there any system by which the unfortunate people may get to know when this terrible sacrifice is going to be demanded from them? |
26070 | But may I not tell the people of this approaching calamity? |
26070 | But shall I and my family escape with our lives? |

26070 | Do 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? |
26070 | Do you wish to dispose of these things? |
26070 | May I ask,said Sam- Chung,"what was the reason for the great gathering here to- day? |
26070 | What age was this man Chan,she asked,"when you entered into this engagement with him?" |
26070 | What did you mean,asked the visitor,"by depriving me of the one chance I had of gaining my freedom?" |
26070 | What 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? |
26070 | Had 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? |
26070 | Have they tamely submitted to have you disappear without raising an outcry that would resound throughout the whole kingdom? |
26070 | I should be cast into prison, and I might have to lie there for years, for who would ever bail out a thief? |
26070 | May 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?" |
26070 | To his astonishment, Lo- yung, with a frown upon his face, angrily exclaimed;"You common fellow, what do you mean by calling me your brother? |
26070 | What if the bird should tire, he thought, and he should be dropped into the fathomless abyss below? |
26070 | Where, too, was he being carried and how should he be ever able to return to his far- off home on the earth? |
26070 | Why 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?" |
26070 | Would she recognize him? |

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 | ''What the devil is that old thief doing over there?'' |
33359 | ''Who are you?'' |
33359 | A transport officer was shouting:''How many bags have you, babu?'' |
33359 | And the rabble? |
33359 | And what Englishman with the same prospect to face, caught in this dark eddy of circumstance, would not have done the same thing? |
33359 | And who is he? |
33359 | Answer:"What signifies whether it was a bird or not?" |
33359 | But the men who attacked the Kangma post, what parallel in history have we for these? |
33359 | But what was left him if he lived except shame and humiliation? |
33359 | But what was the flame that smouldered in these men and lighted them to action? |
33359 | But why not own up that one travels for the glamour of the thing? |
33359 | Do you know where he is?'' |
33359 | Have we removed it? |
33359 | How in the name of all their Buddhas were they to stop such a man? |
33359 | It may be asked, then, What is, or was, the nature of the Russian menace in Tibet? |
33359 | One wondered, were they pursuing truth or were they petrified by ritual and routine? |
33359 | Or are they depths? |
33359 | Or were we noted as food for gossip and criticism when their self- imposed ordeal was done? |
33359 | Says I,"Was that a bird at the magistrate''s that flapped so loud?" |

33359 | Who can tell what they think or what they wish, these undivinable creatures? |
33359 | Who knows? |

33359 | Why do n''t they send up the--th Light Cavalry?'' |
33359 | Why should he? |
33359 | Why should not the Tibetans, who are of the same stock, yield themselves to enlightenment? |
33359 | Why should they? |
33359 | Why, in the name of all their Bodhisats and Munis, did they not run? |
33359 | Why, then, deal with China at all? |

16261 | Did she not sing the songs of Kao- pien? |
16261 | Ere he could speak a word, Pelou demanded:"Son, in what place have you been passing your nights?" |
16261 | Had she ever done aught to merit the malediction of an ascetic? |
16261 | Has Thought feet, that man may perceive the trace of its passing? |
16261 | Hast thirst? |

16261 | Unto whom was it first given to discover the divine art of porcelain? |
16261 | Was the merit of the giver illusive also,--illusive like the grace of the supple fingers that gave? |
16261 | Was this death? |

49121 | Do you think it will be pretty? 49121 If he is a man of letters,"they ask,"why is he dressed like a colonel?" |
49121 | Well,he questioned,"how did it go? |
49121 | And the women, wo n''t they freeze in their evening gowns? |
49121 | Are there hidden princesses and treasures here? |
49121 | Barbarians have been this way,--but which? |
49121 | Do you think it will be a little unusual? |
49121 | Had they been abandoned? |
49121 | Has some one lived here in our time or was it in the distant past? |
49121 | Her body? |
49121 | How could one fancy oneself in China, in Pekin itself, so near to mysterious enclosures, to palaces so full of wonders? |
49121 | How many hours-- or how many centuries-- has he been gone, and who could he have been, the occupant of the abandoned room? |
49121 | How 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? |
49121 | In 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? |
49121 | In what far- away forest did the trees grow that permitted such groves to be created out of one single piece? |
49121 | Is it a fortress, a prison, or something more lugubrious still? |

49121 | What can they be? |
49121 | What could I do, with my borrowed"mafou"and my revolver, if my appearance did not happen to please them? |
49121 | What distorted views of life had been bequeathed to him of the things of this world and of the world beyond? |
49121 | What do all these gruesome symbols signify to him? |
49121 | What do their Asiatic brains make of all this French gaiety? |
49121 | What of the illuminations, of the awnings? |
49121 | What 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? |

49121 | Where are we to lay our heads? |

49121 | Who knows what has been done with the body? |
49121 | Who lived here, then, sequestered behind so many walls,--walls more terrible by far than those of our western prisons? |
49121 | Why should there be three of them? |
49121 | Why should this desert be enclosed by the city''s walls? |
49121 | Would not a supreme attack against them be attempted, an effort be made to destroy them before the allied troops could enter? |
49121 | what was your impression of it all?" |
34167 | And Jean- Marie? 34167 Are you content patiently to await all the horrors of the future? |
34167 | Do these monsters pray? |
34167 | Do you see the three boats yonder? |
34167 | Hate the men as much as you like,said one of his companions,"but why be so cruel as to kill the women? |
34167 | Is he English? |

34167 | What more can I know of the horrors of the sea,I asked myself,"if it be not to make it my grave?" |
34167 | Will you then do nothing? |
34167 | Would they lie at anchor if they were pursued? |
34167 | Are you below? |
34167 | Being so wretched, what more had I to fear? |
34167 | Can you not help to disguise me? |
34167 | Could I get it down into the sea? |
34167 | Could it be the approach of a steamer which caused the flight of our captors? |
34167 | Even supposing that we had come across a steamer by the way, what had we to hope? |
34167 | Had I strength enough to row or paddle two miles? |
34167 | Had we been separated from our companions only to die slowly of hunger, thirst, and suffocation? |
34167 | How can you sleep while we are yet in so much danger?" |
34167 | How shall I describe these absurd warriors, dignified by the titles of"War- tigers,"and"Mountain- splitters?" |
34167 | I can still hear the voice of the captain calling, and counting his sailors--"Jacques, Pierre, André, Remy, Christian, Robert, where are you?" |
34167 | I questioned my past life; I searched all the corners of my memory; I asked myself what I had done to merit this great trial? |
34167 | I turned to Than- Sing, who was awake and listening also, and asked him what he thought could be doing overhead? |
34167 | If even we had succeeded in weighing the anchor, what chance had we, in our dismasted state, of drifting into any place of shelter? |
34167 | Jean- Marie?" |
34167 | Might not the pirates even now return, and might not the steamer put off without having once perceived us? |
34167 | Till to- morrow nothing could now be done, and who could tell what that morrow might bring forth? |
34167 | Transferred to another junk, what might not be our fate? |
34167 | Was it possible that they were nailing down the trap above our heads? |
34167 | Was it possible, after all, that they were about to give up, and go back to the steamer? |
34167 | Was it their intention to cut off my hands? |
34167 | Was this hole destined to be our coffin and our tomb? |
34167 | We are going to seek our fortunes-- to seek, but what to find? |
34167 | What could they want? |
34167 | What had we to expect? |
34167 | What shall I do? |
34167 | What was now to become of me, friendless and alone, in a strange and savage country? |
34167 | What were death to one whose sufferings had already touched the bounds of human endurance? |
34167 | What would now become of us? |
34167 | What would they do with us? |
34167 | Who knows what might have happened had one single drop of blood been actually shed? |
34167 | Would not our captors sooner throw us overboard, than be taken in the fact of piracy and kidnapping on the high seas? |
34167 | fire!--the ship is on fire-- do you hear?--what noise is that?" |
34167 | was 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? |
34167 | what if it were but a ship bound for Hong- Kong, Canton, or Macao? |
34167 | what should we do if the pirates came back, and once more took us prisoners? |
34167 | where are you? |
44261 | Are you satisfied with this proposal or not?" |
44261 | But do we not every where see government placards inviting us to submit, why do we not then send somebody to make the offer? |
44261 | Can the bird remain quiet with strong wings, or will the fish not move in deep water? |
44261 | Every man will charge me with the wanton murder of a commander, after he had been vanquished and his ships taken? |
44261 | Fung yung fa said:"How then if government should not trust our word?" |
44261 | He met him at Neaou chow, and asked him:"Why did you not come to my assistance?" |
44261 | How can we, under such circumstances, be confident and rely on our own strength?" |
44261 | How could these extraordinary engines have escaped the discriminating genius of Marco Polo, had they existed in China? |
44261 | How shall I alone be able to fight the government forces? |
44261 | If O po tae could before vanquish you quite alone, how much more can he now when he is united with government? |
44261 | If 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? |
44261 | If they should make extortions a second time, when should we get money to comply with their demands? |
44261 | Is_ Lang lae_ a mistake for_ L[)u]h lae_, which is mentioned in the_ Hae kw[)o] hëen këen_, p. 214? |
44261 | It is said that the_ Kaou chun peih mow_(?) |
44261 | Paou 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?" |
44261 | Paou became enraged and said:"How is this, will you then separate from us?" |
44261 | Paou then asked the Doctor:"Have you any commission about this matter, or not?" |
44261 | Paou.--"Thou hast committed some crime and comest to me for protection?" |
44261 | Paou.--"You will then know, how it stands concerning the report about our submission, if it is true or false?" |
44261 | Paou.--[sd:( 16 r.)]"Who is bold enough to compare me with O po tae?" |
44261 | Paou:"Why then do you not obey the orders of the wife of Ching y[)i]h and my own? |

44261 | The use of_ tsew_ in the place of_ tseu_( 10,826) is confirmed by the authorities in Kang he; but does Leu song really mean Spain? |
44261 | There is certainly some mistake in the Chinese Itinerary; how could Canton be only 6,835, and Chow king foo 7420 le? |
44261 | They are assembled together and stay in_ Leu song_( Spain? |
44261 | What is this else than separation, that you do not come to assist me, when I am surrounded by the enemy? |
44261 | What is to be done under these circumstances?" |
44261 | When Fei hëung chow came to Paou, he said:"Friend Paou, do you know why I come to you?" |
44261 | Who opposed the enemy in time? |
44261 | Who will believe that it happened not by my command, and that I am innocent of the death of this officer? |
44261 | Who would dare to publish or recommend any thing under his own name, which could displease any of the officers of the Chinese government? |
44261 | Why should we not rather spend the two thousand pieces of money to encourage government officers and the people? |
44261 | Why should we not therefore come to a determination to that effect?" |
44261 | Would I not be treated according to the supposed cruel death of Kw[)o] lang?" |
44261 | [ 100] This is my opinion; if you think otherwise, let us retire; but let me hear your opinion?" |

44261 | [ 48][ sd:( 9 r.)] If I am charged with the murder of this officer, how could I venture, if I should wish in future times, to submit myself? |
44261 | [ 87] And now concerning this business-- to give or not give assistance-- am I bound to come and join your forces?" |

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

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

19365 | But how can you afford to lose a day''s money like that? |
19365 | But what about the money for all these men? |
19365 | But why are you not working to- day? 19365 Is there too great a burden on the shoulders of the Chinese Christians? |
19365 | Were you not sorry to see them burnt, seeing that you had prepared them so carefully, and had spent a lot of money on them? |
19365 | What about your beads? 19365 Why do n''t you try to save him? |
19365 | But how should she begin? |
19365 | But where was the money to come from? |
19365 | Could such faithful work, done through the prompting of the Holy Spirit, and through the constraining love of Christ, be in vain? |
19365 | Could 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? |
19365 | Did the Lord not have compassion on them, or had He ceased to care? |
19365 | Do you know what happened last week? |
19365 | For Christ''s sake to me; for Christ''s sake to Thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be? |
19365 | Had the Lord changed in His love for them, or had He forgotten to be gracious? |
19365 | Her 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? |
19365 | Her husband''s death would be at her door, for had she not angered the idols in leaving them? |
19365 | How can you play about like this?" |
19365 | How could she do without it? |
19365 | It comes unto me; it comes unto thee; Oh what, oh what shall the answer be? |
19365 | Now, how much is it worth? |
19365 | On her last Sunday morning on earth she asked,"Who is coming to preach to- day?" |
19365 | Pulling out one straw, and showing it to her, we said,"Do you see that straw? |
19365 | Shall we not unite our voices with hers? |
19365 | Some months before his baptism we asked him,"Grandfather Hsü, what about your boxes of clothes and all your paper money?" |
19365 | Some one said,''I see you have a big burden, have n''t you?'' |
19365 | The writer, putting her hand on Mrs. Lü''s shoulder, said,"Mrs. Lü, what are you doing this morning? |
19365 | This was his dream; but was it not a clear call to that man to seek the things above? |
19365 | Was it not because he believed God and took Him simply at His word? |
19365 | Was it possible to flee from the suffering in the next world? |
19365 | Was there anything that could give her aching heart some comfort, her despairing soul some hope? |
19365 | What about you? |
19365 | What am I to do?" |
19365 | What had happened to the man? |
19365 | What is our part to be? |
19365 | What is the outcome to be? |
19365 | What might that be? |
19365 | What more could be said? |
19365 | What 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? |
19365 | What was she to do? |
19365 | What was to be done next? |
19365 | Where are they going to be hung?" |
19365 | Where had they gone? |
19365 | Why did they not prosper in everything as before? |
19365 | Why do you not call them?" |
19365 | Why should he reveal to her what he had hidden from the other worshippers? |
19365 | Yet, what were they to do? |
62121 | Are you quite serious? |
62121 | But are there no European edifices in Canton? |
62121 | But how about wagons, carriages, and horses? |
62121 | By 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? |
62121 | Good morning, sir,said one of them in excellent English,"do you know Carter Harrison, of Chicago?" |
62121 | Have you not been to Haruna, beyond Ikao? |
62121 | How can your people live thus thinly clad, and with so little fire? |
62121 | Must I get into this thing, and have n''t you any blankets for these horses? |
62121 | So you are Ah Cum? |
62121 | What is it,we exclaimed,"a winged Mercury, or a Coney Island bather rushing to the beach?" |
62121 | What is this? |
62121 | What places have you visited? |
62121 | What under heaven is this? |
62121 | Why not retrace your steps and go there now? 62121 And if so, who will guarantee that we shall not be murdered? |
62121 | At last he gathered strength enough to ask:"But what security have you that I will repay you?" |
62121 | But is anything good for those who lead a sedentary life? |
62121 | But now, among so much that is disagreeable, one naturally inquires,"Are there not some redeeming features in this Chinese life?" |
62121 | But were they really coming in just that economical style of dress? |
62121 | Did we desire an entire story? |
62121 | Did we insist on having separate rooms? |
62121 | Have we a definite conception of what four hundred million human beings are? |
62121 | How could they? |
62121 | How do we know that his future may not be superior to our present?" |
62121 | I exclaimed,"can any one be too happy in this world?" |
62121 | I exclaimed,"what in the world do you mean by''precipice beef?''" |
62121 | If such then be the state of things in the capital, what must it be in the interior towns, so rarely reached by foreigners? |
62121 | Seeing some buildings on the opposite bank, we asked:"How do you cross here from shore to shore? |
62121 | Shades of our childhood!--what are these? |
62121 | Shall, then, our people die, and your lives not be required? |
62121 | Should we approach a group of Chinese merchants in Canton, and ask any one of them"How many children have you?" |
62121 | The motion lasted less than a minute; but what can not an earthquake do in forty seconds? |
62121 | The only question is:"Which side is up, and which is down?" |
62121 | What is a hundred years? |
62121 | What matters it if those who merit death are said to have committed one crime or another? |
62121 | What wonder, then, that tourists resort to Miyanóshita? |
62121 | Who could resist, in such a place, the impulse to revere that Power of which these forms of nature were imperfect symbols? |
62121 | Who shall say that there are not worse methods than this old Japanese mode of arbitration?" |
62121 | Will 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? |
62121 | Will you take me?" |
62121 | Yes, we will take you; and, first of all, can you get us safely into one of those boats? |
62121 | Yet search the world through, and where will you find servants such as these? |
39421 | Suppose men do reach the top of Mount Everest, what then? |
39421 | Suppose we do establish the fact that man has the capacity to surmount the highest summit of his surroundings, of what good is that knowledge? |
39421 | What then? |
39421 | Why be so particular about the two? |
39421 | A disappointment? |
39421 | Allium Wallichii, Kunth Allium Govenianum, Wall.? |
39421 | And how long should we require for these operations in such weather? |
39421 | And if the snow has melted, where will ice be found? |
39421 | And presuming Wheeler were wrong? |
39421 | And was it not in any case an attractive summit? |
39421 | And what more were we likely to accomplish from a camp on Chang La? |
39421 | And what of the Sahibs? |
39421 | And what of the final arête? |
39421 | Are we seeing the true edge? |
39421 | But how, if this bay were of any importance, could the glacier stream be so small? |
39421 | But the puzzle is, how can that point be arrived at from below? |
39421 | But what lay ahead of us? |
39421 | Cl.? |
39421 | Could the North col be reached from the East and how could we attain this point? |
39421 | Could this glacier conceivably proceed in an almost level course up to Chang La, itself? |
39421 | Drum.? |
39421 | How could so little water drain so large an area of ice as must exist on this supposition? |
39421 | How could they be otherwise? |
39421 | How many days would he be absent before he came to tell his story, and what sort of story would it be? |
39421 | Is it not a first principle of mountaineering to be as comfortable as possible as long as one can? |
39421 | Is 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? |
39421 | Might we not see it from the summit of our mountain? |
39421 | Or was it cut off much nearer to us by the high skyline which we saw beyond it? |
39421 | Or will black and white appear in altered proportions? |
39421 | The question is often asked,"Why twenty- nine thousand and two?" |
39421 | Was it all composed of pinnacles? |
39421 | Were they not to prove highways here? |
39421 | Were we fit to push the adventure further? |
39421 | What can be cut out next time? |
39421 | What is to be done for a man who is sick or abnormally exhausted at these high altitudes? |
39421 | What lay between them? |
39421 | What was the meaning of this? |
39421 | Where had we been? |
39421 | Where is the limit of this process? |
39421 | Where were we going and what should we find? |
39421 | Why not get to the col and find out what lay beyond it? |
39421 | Will the amount of snow on the mountain be the same in June, 1922, as twelve months before? |
39421 | Will the multiplication of red corpuscles continue so that men may become acclimatised much higher? |
39421 | Will the whole of the snow fallen during the monsoon of 1921 have melted before the next monsoon, and if so by what date? |
39421 | Would he know for certain that the way was found? |
39421 | Would it not be better to follow up this glacier from the Rongbuk Valley? |
39421 | Would they prove an insuperable obstacle? |
39421 | f.& T. Meconopsis grandis, Prain? |

27021 | Are you quite sure that this lake is the home of the gods? |
27021 | Do you ever expect to become a saint? |
27021 | Do you hear the sound of bells? |
27021 | Have we passed the Gomba? 27021 How is he clothed?" |

27021 | Are you one of his advance- guard?" |
27021 | Can we stop near your camp and pick up the food that you will throw away?" |
27021 | Had he come across some of his mates, or had he heard from the soldiers that they were in the neighborhood? |
27021 | Have we not yet reached it?" |
27021 | How could we now turn back when so near our goal? |

6624 | How much more, then, must we be ignorant about the Japanese movements? |

6624 | In 535 the Ts''in administration consulted its own astrologer upon the point:"Will the state of Ch''en survive?" |
6624 | Lastly, are there any_ proved_ instances of such radical tamperings with history by the Chinese annalists as M. Chavannes suggests? |
6624 | Naturally every one asked:"What is that?" |
6624 | Not 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? |
6624 | On being refused, he said:"Do you forget my ancestor''s services to the father of the Chou founder?" |
6624 | Once in Tsin it was asked, about a prisoner:"Who is that southernhatted fellow?" |
6624 | Or:"If the people we find at A. must have come from B., whence did the people at B. come, before they went to A.?" |
6624 | The Chinese historians have no statistics, indulge in fen( few?) |
6624 | The old Tartar blood and Tartar sympathies of the First August Emperor must surely re- appear in a policy so incompatible with all orthodox teaching? |
6624 | Under these circumstances, even if they did not want to gain the people over, how can they avoid it? |
6624 | What can they do to me?" |
6624 | What could the semi- Tartar ruler of Ts''in have known of all these wearisome refinements in pomp, mourning, and music? |
6624 | What do you propose to do? |
6624 | What is the use of that?'' |
6624 | When did the ruling house ever before reach the low depths of to- day? |
6624 | Where were the written laws in those times? |
6624 | Which of us does not begin to furbish up his pedigree when he is made a peer of the realm? |
6624 | Why 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.? |
6624 | Why is that life so scant, and why does the writer of it allude to"other stories"current about him? |
6624 | Why 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? |
6624 | Will this apply to present conditions?" |
6624 | and was never heard of again?" |
6624 | do not attempt to decide are: Why is the life of Lao- tsz not given to us earlier than 100 B.C.? |
6624 | if the king slays one of his officers, who can avenge it? |
42732 | Do you know Major Gordon? |
42732 | What advantage or what point did we ever gain,he wrote,"by negotiating or humbling ourselves before these people, or rather before their Government? |
42732 | What 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?" |
42732 | And at the close of the Portuguese campaign:"I wonder if Alcock knows that he has got the decoration of the Tower and Sword? |
42732 | And in either case would it not have been better to have had the point cleared up before undertaking the mission? |
42732 | Are they all for Namoa? |
42732 | But imports of what? |
42732 | But this is surely remarkable testimony from the Minister of Great Britain who was charged with the protection of his nationals[13] from wrong? |
42732 | But what was it precisely that he approved of? |
42732 | But what, then, is the secret of dealing with the Chinese which so many able men, not certainly intending to make failures, have missed? |
42732 | But why"massacre,"much or little? |
42732 | Can it be doubted which left the deeper impression? |
42732 | Do you go farther up the coast?" |
42732 | For where was the"difficulty,"one is tempted to ask? |
42732 | How can these foreigners then remain unawed? |
42732 | How did these various occurrences influence the progress of diplomatic relations with the Government? |
42732 | How has such a gigantic displacement been brought about? |
42732 | How was one to take advantage of the opening, and be first in the field? |
42732 | How, then, were they likely to regard the, to them, infinitely greater outrage of resident foreign Ministers in the sacred capital itself? |
42732 | If our former treaty needed a material guarantee for its execution, how much more this one? |
42732 | Is it the cause that inspires him, or is it only devotion to his immediate leader? |
42732 | Is it the fighting instinct, hereditary heroism, or military discipline that makes the soldier? |
42732 | Or are we to interfere and insist upon justice being administered not according to their usages, but ours? |
42732 | That is saying a good deal, but how could it be otherwise than satisfactory? |
42732 | The Master said,"Is not RECIPROCITY such a word? |
42732 | The Prince looked aghast, then said solemnly,"Do you mean to say we have been deceived?" |
42732 | The mandarin opened by the direct questions,"How many chests have you on board? |
42732 | The world rested securely enough on the tortoise, but what did the tortoise itself rest on? |
42732 | These opinions may be false or true in their foundation, that is not the question, but, What is the influence they are calculated to exercise? |
42732 | Though it be allowed that the foreign guns are powerful and effective, can their ammunition be employed for any long period and not be expended? |
42732 | To the first four great commercial objects involved in our relations with China, as above specified, shall we sacrifice the fifth? |
42732 | Was it so much as conceivable that it would be voluntarily carried out? |
42732 | Was it, then, greater knowledge, or superior judgment, that inspired Lord Elgin to an opposite opinion? |
42732 | Were not this preferable to the fruitless proclamations and manifestos of government?" |
42732 | What advantage or what point, again, have we ever lost that was just and reasonable, by acting with promptitude and vigour? |
42732 | What did I find on my return? |
42732 | What is the explanation of this continuous repetition of the same mistake? |
42732 | What said the imperial decree published in the''Peking Gazette''? |
42732 | What was the official charged with the protection of his countrymen to do? |
42732 | What, under these circumstances, was the"present value"of the treaty? |
42732 | Whence, it is pertinent to ask, came this sudden access of vigour in the British representative? |
42732 | Which of these is the more important in a national point of view,--the commerce, or the revenue derived from it? |
42732 | Why should they? |
42732 | Why was nothing done to protect them at least from the consequences of this misrule? |
42732 | Why? |
2330 | And if so, what is it? |
2330 | Animals,he argues,"do not become spirits after death; why should man alone undergo this change? |
2330 | Any slip of a boy may be that,replied Ch''in;"why not I?" |
2330 | But 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?" |
2330 | Has God a head? |
2330 | Has God a surname? |
2330 | Has God feet? |
2330 | Has God got ears? |
2330 | How do you know that? |
2330 | If 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? |
2330 | Is consciousness dispersed after death, or does it still exist? |
2330 | Of course,replied the disbeliever,"many people have seen and heard spirits; but is there any instance of a properly verified appearance?" |
2330 | What have these creatures to do with the matter? |
2330 | Where is He? |
2330 | Another question was,"As Nu- ch''i had no husband, how could she bear nine sons?" |
2330 | At death the soul reverts to its original state: how then can it possess consciousness? |
2330 | But if men sacrifice men, who will enjoy the offering?" |
2330 | But why wait until time is pressing, and man''s skill of no further avail? |
2330 | Can it be possible that what man regards as evil, God regards as good, and_ vice versa_? |
2330 | Can you expect your prayers to be answered?" |
2330 | Did not God give her comfort? |
2330 | Did not Lao Tzu say,''The reason why I suffer so much is because I have a body''? |
2330 | From of old until now the people have constantly seen and heard spiritual beings; how then can you say they do not exist? |
2330 | Had He not accepted her sacrifice, So that thus easily she brought forth her son? |
2330 | How can it become a spirit? |
2330 | How did she give birth to them? |
2330 | How is praying for rain asking a favour? |
2330 | How so? |
2330 | How then can you ask what is the difference?" |
2330 | How then should we dare to offer up a man? |
2330 | If 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? |
2330 | If He had no feet, how could He step?" |
2330 | If He had not ears, how could He hear it?" |
2330 | If he is already dead, to whom do they call? |
2330 | If something brushes against me, and I grab at, but do not seize it,--is that a spirit? |
2330 | If the five sacrificial animals may not be used promiscuously, how much less can a feudal prince be offered up?" |
2330 | If there is something in the room, and I look for it but can not see it,--is that a spirit? |
2330 | If they had never seen nor heard them, could people say that they existed?" |
2330 | Is it that God is unable to determine the characteristics of each, and lets each follow its own bent and develop good or evil accordingly? |
2330 | It is not; for if spirits are soundless and formless, how can they have substance? |
2330 | So long as God does not destroy this wisdom, what can the people of K''uang do to me?" |
2330 | Some are wanting in virtue, and will not acknowledge their transgressions; only when God chastens them do they cry, What are we to do?" |
2330 | The envoy took upon himself to catechise the philosopher, with the following result:--"You are engaged in study, are you not?" |
2330 | To one who asked about God, he replied,"What have I to do with God? |
2330 | Wei Tao Tzu asked Yu Li Tzu, saying,"Is it true that God loves good and hates evil?" |
2330 | What crime have my people committed now, That God sends down death and disorder, And famine comes upon us again? |
2330 | Where then is God''s love of good and hatred of evil?" |
2330 | Where then shall God be found? |
2330 | Why in spring and summer? |
2330 | Why not in autumn and winter? |
2330 | Why so? |
26744 | And how do you propose to go there? |
26744 | And may I ask whence you come and whither you are going? |
26744 | And your honourable second name? |
26744 | Are you going in that direction? |
26744 | Are you going to Hai- ning? |
26744 | Are you going to Kia- hing Fu? |
26744 | Do n''t you see the wind is coming? 26744 How much may that be?" |
26744 | How much money will you give us? |
26744 | What is it? |
26744 | What may be your honourable profession? |
26744 | Why,I asked in surprise,"has Amelia broken her promise? |
26744 | Will you give me a passage as far as you do go that way? |
26744 | You are a physician, are you? |
26744 | And 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? |
26744 | At last a man responded,"Are you a guest from Shih- mun- wan?" |
26744 | But had not GOD said that whatever we ask in the Name of the LORD JESUS shall be done? |
26744 | But scarcely had I opened my lips with"Our FATHER who art in heaven"than conscience said within,"Dare you mock GOD? |
26744 | Could that which was wrong for one Christian to do be right for an association of Christians? |
26744 | Dare you kneel down and call Him FATHER with that half- crown in your pocket?" |
26744 | He answered,"What would be the good of that?" |
26744 | How do you write it?" |
26744 | How long shall this continue, and the MASTER''S words,"To every creature,"remain unheeded? |
26744 | I 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?" |
26744 | Is it so hard- hearted, so wicked a thing to neglect to save the body? |
26744 | Is there any spirit of prayer on our behalf among GOD''s people in Kilsyth? |
26744 | Need I say that peace at once flowed into my burdened heart? |
26744 | Now arose in my mind the question, Ought not this sum also to be tithed? |
26744 | Of how much sorer punishment, then, is he worthy who leaves the soul to perish, and Cain- like says,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
26744 | Oh, why did you not come sooner?" |
26744 | Or could any amount of precedents make a wrong course justifiable? |
26744 | Ought I not, for her sake, to speak about the matter of the salary? |
26744 | Shall we say to_ Him_,"No, it is not convenient"? |
26744 | The next question was,"How am I to go?" |
26744 | The thought passed through my mind,"Why does the author use this expression? |
26744 | The 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? |
26744 | Then came the thought,"If the whole work was finished and the whole debt paid, what is there left for me to do?" |
26744 | There was no doubt that if faith did not fail, GOD would not fail; but, then, what if one''s faith should prove insufficient? |
26744 | What circumstances could have rendered the Word of GOD more sweet, the presence of GOD more real, the help of GOD more precious? |
26744 | What was I to do? |
26744 | What was finished? |
26744 | While thus engaged I said to the landlord,"I suppose I can arrange to spend the night here?" |
26744 | Why live I here? |
26744 | Yet, what was I to do? |
26744 | and He that keepeth_ thy_ soul, doth not he know it? |
26744 | and shall not He render to every man according to his works?" |
26744 | might repeat the same question to- day? |
26744 | or is there any effort to seek this spirit? |
26744 | or 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?" |
26744 | shall we tell_ Him_ that we are busy fishing and can not go? |
26744 | that we have bought a piece of ground and can not go? |
26744 | that we have purchased five yoke of oxen, or have married, or are engaged in other and more interesting pursuits, and can not go? |
26744 | why not say the atoning or propitiatory work of CHRIST?" |
14492 | Can they heal the sick? |
14492 | Can_ girls_ learn anything? |
14492 | Do you know what that means? 14492 How can you go''round''a''square''?" |
14492 | Is it true they have been studying for four years in a foreign land? |
14492 | Is self- supporting work a missionary work? 14492 What makes these girls look so different from the other Chinese women who come here?" |
14492 | Will they live in Kiukiang? |
14492 | After a while one of the girls came back and said,''My face is clean now, is it not?'' |
14492 | An explanation of this was afforded Dr. Hü, by a remark which she overheard:"How can we stand having this hospital closed? |
14492 | And if all money received goes again into the work, to increase its efficiency, why may it not be counted missionary? |
14492 | As 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? |
14492 | As the company slowly proceeded up the Bund, the missionaries were besieged with eager questions:"Are they Chinese women?" |
14492 | As they came up an old woman who carried one corner of the bamboo bed called out,''Doctor, have you opened your accounts yet?'' |
14492 | Assuredly yes; for is not the money thus gained used in giving relief to the poor?... |
14492 | But what did you call the writing on the stones in the graveyard? |
14492 | Can any one dare to think,''What is the use to teach these Chinese people?''" |
14492 | Can not Mrs. Ahok make an exception and come on this occasion?" |
14492 | Do you think we ought to refuse that offer, which is a wonderful one, because the church has only just been established there? |
14492 | Finally the woman said,"Why do n''t you answer me? |
14492 | He wanted me to do what? |
14492 | How can we undertake to help spread medical education in China with the limited means at our command? |
14492 | How could you hear unless I came to tell you? |
14492 | How could you know the needs of China without hearing them? |
14492 | How do you suppose he found out about the matter? |
14492 | How many physicians are there to minister to this vast mass of humanity? |
14492 | I have never seen_ them_ yet; so why should I come so far to see other places? |
14492 | I left my little boy, my husband, my mother-- all this: for what purpose, do you think? |
14492 | I said,''Do you want me, or do you want the idols? |
14492 | If we ask,''What would Jesus do?'' |
14492 | If_ you_ can not, will you cause others to come, by sending them and doing what you can to help them to come?" |
14492 | Is n''t that splendid?" |
14492 | Missionary work? |
14492 | No one could resist Dr. Mary Stone''s persuasive tones as she went up and down the aisles asking,''Wo n''t you join?'' |
14492 | One morning as she was going down to breakfast some one asked,"How is our little China girl this morning?" |
14492 | One woman who heard her sing asked,"Why do you let her go back? |
14492 | Shall we simply take unto ourselves a few students as assistants, and after training them for a few years turn them out as doctors? |
14492 | So she asked an old"literary man"standing near her,"Ibah, are you glad to see us building? |
14492 | So what do you think I do? |
14492 | So wherever we go we must think how to benefit our people, and not do as we please, and then how can we be proud?" |
14492 | The first question asked was,"Please give your reasons for coming to study medicine?" |
14492 | The_ New York Herald_ gave a long and enthusiastic report of her work, ending with the words:"''Am I not fortunate? |
14492 | Was that a prescription or a proscription?" |
14492 | Was that a prescription or a subscription?" |
14492 | What was it we had in church last Sunday? |
14492 | When she would ask,"Can you stand them a little tighter?" |
14492 | Where comes the time and strength to teach the students as they should be taught? |
14492 | Will you buy one-- a good one-- for me?" |
14492 | Will you come back to China with me?" |
14492 | You wonder how I know it? |
27243 | After 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?" |
27243 | Did you say_ twelve_ years a Church member? |
27243 | Does the sun ever shine in your country? |
27243 | Hast thou seen Abraham? |
27243 | Have you been to the house? |
27243 | Have you turned sixty yet? |
27243 | He came unto His own, and His own received Him not,she read, and how can I say what took place? |

27243 | How can a man be born when he is old? |
27243 | How can this man give us His flesh to eat? |
27243 | Is it by extra imposed work, or by the public disgrace of the rod, that their misdeeds will be made most heinous in their own eyes? |
27243 | Should not the missionaries''conduct be regulated in accordance with the command,''Seek the lost until it be found''? |
27243 | What do you stock? |
27243 | Who would spend the money? |
27243 | Why did they spend months in another district instead of coming at once to make themselves acquainted with us, our affairs, and our homes? |
27243 | Would it reach the hands of his good genius on the opposite side, unruffled and unsoiled? |
27243 | ***** What can I say of Mr. Lan? |
27243 | Are you?" |
27243 | Do the crops seem to fail for lack of rain, and the farmers, anxious and worried, speak of the famine confronting them, and him? |
27243 | Had he been informed correctly that we had been appointed to carry on the work in Hwochow? |
27243 | How could they be filled? |
27243 | Immediately upon the conclusion of my business he asked:"Is that Miss French of Taiyüanfu? |
27243 | Is some aggressive movement proposed? |
27243 | It is an everyday occurrence, and you ask,"Why do they not widen the road?" |
27243 | Oh say, what dost thou yet deny, My heart of love to satisfy?" |
27243 | One is tempted to question,"How shall the superficial enter into the Kingdom of God?" |

27243 | When questioned as to whence it came the demon replied by giving the name of this man, and to the question:"Why have you left him?" |

27243 | Who could replace her? |
27243 | Who has passed this way before me? |
27243 | Who were the combatants in the following battles:--Crecy, Hastings, Marathon, Bannockburn, Waterloo? |

27243 | and"How many brothers and sisters have you?" |
27243 | define the critical turning- point in his days?" |
27243 | exclaimed the physician;"how is that?" |
27243 | how wouldest Thou deal with this sick man-- in body, or spirit?" |
27243 | said he;"are you not the man to whom I gave medicine last time I came this way?" |
21661 | ''Av a''oss, guv''nor,''av a''oss? |

21661 | As I write I am looking down from the thirtieth story of one of the highest, feeling as if I had been"set on the pinnacle of the Temple"( of Mammon?). |
21661 | But she said, laughing,"Is it not just like a curio- dealer''s shop?" |
21661 | How was it that no one seemed to be laughing and enjoying himself out of all the crowd? |
21661 | I wonder what that other city looked like from the pinnacle of whose temple He looked down on the other great cities that had their day? |
21661 | If they did not enjoy it, why did they do it? |

522 | All? |
522 | And what put in it? |
522 | And why do they speak of snow and the crane, and lightning and a yellow dog? |
522 | At last one of the old men said to him:''You have been here a long time, ought you not to go home?'' |
522 | Ca n''t you grab once for us? |
522 | Can you do it? |
522 | Can you toss the knives? |
522 | Chi,I asked,"do you have any such games as host and guest, or games in which the large boys protect the small ones?" |
522 | Chi,we asked,"what kind of games do boys play?" |
522 | Did you ever hear this one? |
522 | Do the Chinese have no other kinds of toy animals? |
522 | Do you have any other guessing games? |
522 | Do you know any games? |
522 | Do you know any of these stories? |
522 | For instance? |
522 | Have you any games more vigorous than this? |
522 | Have you any other games which develop the protective instinct in boys? |
522 | Have you any other games which require strength? |
522 | How high were they? |
522 | How use the water? |
522 | Is the mouse at home? |
522 | My name is Grab, what is your name? |
522 | There is no grandmother Wind, is there, nurse? |
522 | What are in those? |
522 | What does that represent? |
522 | What have they done? |
522 | What is it for? |
522 | What is that game you were playing a few days ago in which you used one stick to knock another? |
522 | What is that game,we inquired of Chi,"the boys on the street play with two marbles?" |
522 | What is that? |
522 | What is the knife for? |
522 | What is your name? |
522 | What rhymes? |
522 | What shall we play? |
522 | What were you playing a few days ago when all the boys lay in a straight line? |
522 | What will you get to- morrow? |
522 | What will you heat? |
522 | What will you make? |
522 | When did that happen? |
522 | Who is Chi? |
522 | Who is it? |
522 | Why do they call the other mother- in- law Rain? |
522 | Yes do you know any? |
522 | Did n''t she get any meat? |
522 | Did the dog die?" |
522 | Does he like it? |
522 | Finally, as it began to dawn on him that I was talking of his son, he asked:"Whom are you talking about?" |
522 | Headland?" |
522 | Hsin?" |
522 | I followed him but how could I catch a man on horseback?" |
522 | If you want them we can play any number of them for you, but what will you do with them after you get them?" |
522 | In imagination I can see the reader raise his eyebrows and mutter,"Do the Chinese eat crows?" |
522 | JUVENILE JUGGLING"How is that?" |
522 | Returning she asked:"How is this that one of my flowers is gone?" |
522 | They walked up to the girl digging and engaged in the following conversation:"What are you digging?" |
522 | We said to Mr. Hsin,"Foreigners say the Chinese do not have dolls, how is that?" |
522 | We want the monkey show, may we have it?" |
522 | What do you see in the earth, pray tell? |
522 | What do you see in the well, my dear? |
522 | What is he saying there on the rock? |
522 | Where has the little dog gone? |
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?'' |
29683 | Are you sure she is to be trusted?'' |
29683 | Are you sure you can?'' |
29683 | Are you well?'' |
29683 | But would Little Yi consent? |
29683 | CHAPTER XIII THE ROAD TO PEKING''Now what are you going to do?'' |
29683 | Chang, after making sure that Hung Li was not looking, quickly put his head forward and asked under his breath,''To Peking?'' |
29683 | Chang, who was still at his post, took away all An Ching''s embarrassment by greeting her with:''Is the young Ku Nai- nai well?'' |
29683 | Could you be here to- morrow morning while the women are brushing their hair?'' |
29683 | Do Catholics sing"Art thou weary,"I wonder? |
29683 | Have I ever heard of any missionaries who live at Yung Ching? |
29683 | He continued:''How is it that you have large feet? |
29683 | How is Baby Buckle? |
29683 | It may rain, and then what shall I do? |
29683 | May n''t I tell her about you? |
29683 | Please will you tell me your name?'' |
29683 | Should I ask Ku Nai- nai if there are any Christians in Yung Ching? |
29683 | Suppose our son had been stolen, what should we have done? |
29683 | What did they mean to do with her? |
29683 | What do you mean?'' |
29683 | Where can I hide it? |
29683 | Where do you live?'' |
29683 | Wo n''t your mother be miserable too?'' |
29683 | Wo n''t yours? |
29683 | Would n''t you like to learn some English to begin with?'' |
29683 | Would you come with me and leave the Chinese girl?'' |
29683 | You do n''t suppose I want to adopt the children? |
29683 | and Bob and Bessie and Arthur, and all the other children? |
29683 | sighed Nelly,''shall we ever get home?'' |
19172 | But where is it? |
19172 | But why, señor? |
19172 | But''Australia''--where is it? |
19172 | Do we believe that these millions are without hope in the next world? 19172 How far is it now?" |
19172 | How many honourable and distinguished sons have you? |
19172 | Pardon me, Caballero,he said,"but will you do me the favour to tell me where you come from?" |
19172 | Pardon me, but will you do me the favour to look at this basin? |
19172 | Sir,he said,"do you wish anything?" |
19172 | The Chinese? 19172 Then you have a Chinese interpreter? |
19172 | What do I think of him? |
19172 | What is your noble and exalted occupation? |
19172 | What is your noble patronymic? |
19172 | What kind of a man is D.? |
19172 | What pidgin belong you? |
19172 | Where from? |
19172 | You speak Chinese, of course? |
19172 | A Chinese servant who can speak English? |
19172 | An English companion who can speak Chinese? |
19172 | And what is his reward? |
19172 | Any relation? |
19172 | But why does China grow this poppy? |
19172 | But why should they look south? |
19172 | But without doubt you are armed? |
19172 | Ca n''t you see I do n''t understand a word you say, you benighted heathen you? |
19172 | Could I get him a bottle of hair- dye? |
19172 | Could I give him any higher praise than that? |
19172 | Could anything be simpler? |
19172 | He continues--"How many tens of thousands of pieces of silver have you?" |
19172 | How much longer are we to persist in regarding the Chinese, as they now are, as a warlike power? |
19172 | In England this creek would be spanned by a bridge; but the poor heathen, in China, how do they find their way across the stream? |
19172 | In the same time how many hundreds of unoffending Chinese have been murdered in civilised foreign countries? |
19172 | Surely they will come to blows? |
19172 | Their fates were in his hands; which master should the Italian serve, the French or the Burmese? |
19172 | Town?" |
19172 | We went on another six li, when again he asked me:"Teacher Mô, how many li to Santien?" |
19172 | What did he mean by that? |
19172 | What do you think of him?" |
19172 | What is to be their condition beyond the grave? |
19172 | What part?" |
19172 | What was his probable tenure of life? |
19172 | What was the dispute? |
19172 | Which half should he hang, when all were equally guilty? |
19172 | Which is to be our colonist, the Asiatic or the Englishman? |
19172 | Who could ever have expected to meet_ you_ here?" |
19172 | gustar?_"is not meant to be accepted. |
19172 | he asked-- meaning what is your business? |
19172 | meaning how many daughters have you? |
19172 | my dear friends, may I say one word about that condition? |
19172 | so then you come from Austria?" |
19172 | what are they?'' |
12344 | And what was it? |
12344 | Are you not ashamed to fight with children? |
12344 | How old do you think I am? |
12344 | Is Her Majesty the Empress- Dowager agreeable to receiving me as British Minister? |
12344 | Look,said he suddenly, addressing the table in his most charming manner,"did you ever see sherry exactly like that before? |
12344 | May I offer you my boutonnière? |
12344 | Then is she willing to have me leave the Inspectorate? |
12344 | Then you have too much work to do? |
12344 | Was not that an excellent idea? |
12344 | We must have a chat about old times,said he cordially;"when may I come and see you-- on Tuesday?" |
12344 | Well, are you willing? |
12344 | What can I do? |
12344 | What has happened? |
12344 | What is your secret power of settling a difficult matter? |
12344 | What,retorted Hart, astonished,"is the list published already?" |
12344 | Why do you not ask me to give you this amount? |
12344 | Will he come back a heathen? |
12344 | After 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?" |
12344 | And why? |
12344 | Anything to declare?" |
12344 | But what could he do beyond asking Mr. Campbell politely if there was any other matter about which he would like to speak? |
12344 | But what hope had he of being heard? |
12344 | Can you not make peace with him for me?" |
12344 | Could it be a Censor had denounced some one and enquiries were to be made? |
12344 | Do 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?" |
12344 | Do you notice its peculiar colour? |
12344 | Eight weeks of doing nothing,--what more could a man expect?" |
12344 | How could order be brought out of chaos? |
12344 | How has he done it? |
12344 | How shall I collect them?" |
12344 | I believe not once but a dozen times in an afternoon he would turn to the boy and ask wistfully,"Who are you?" |
12344 | I 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? |
12344 | Is he small? |
12344 | Might he telegraph it home to his Government? |
12344 | Naturally he refused to do either of these things; how could he possibly agree to such quixotic demands? |
12344 | News? |
12344 | Nobody, indeed? |
12344 | Shall I tell you the secret-- or what he often laughingly said was the secret? |
12344 | So will you please tell me what happened in the latter place?" |
12344 | The Chinese officials_ could_ not listen and his own countrymen_ would_ not, so where was he to turn? |
12344 | The first thing the Minister said to him was,"Have you sent that telegram?" |
12344 | The man who would cheat time should live on nuts like the squirrels( do they contrive to do it, I wonder?). |
12344 | Therefore, when we give rewards, shall we not give them where they are justly due?" |
12344 | Was ever an arrival more providential? |
12344 | Was ever simpler or saner method discovered for warding off old age? |
12344 | Was ever stranger complaint made by servant to master? |
12344 | Was it about the finances of the provinces? |
12344 | What could the change mean? |
12344 | What do you think they said, now, before I came up to Peking? |
12344 | What more natural? |
12344 | What was more natural, since he was destined to"wag his head in a pulpit?" |
12344 | Why not seek to soften the hearts of his captors by a_ kotow_ as profound as it was novel; why not stand on his head? |
12344 | Why not, indeed? |
12344 | Would they? |
12344 | Yet what could they do to circumvent these innovations? |
12344 | and after they had spoken with him for ten minutes,"Can he be all that?" |
12344 | half laughingly remarked,"So you are going to fight China after all? |
12344 | one might ask, and another-- but never aloud--"Will he come at all?" |
12344 | say about such and such a thing?" |
39486 | And is there nothing we can do for you? |
39486 | Asked me to do? |
39486 | But are you really going to eat them? |
39486 | But we have come at daylight,they replied, with amazement in their looks;"what is it now but daylight?" |
39486 | But why engage to bear so heavy a load? 39486 Did you die on such a date and were you eighteen years of age then?" |
39486 | Do you find that your grave is dry or wet? |
39486 | Do you mean me? |
39486 | Do you really think I would cheat you? 39486 How far have you travelled with your load?" |
39486 | How is it, then, that these three have come so much earlier in the day than is the custom with opium smokers? |
39486 | How old am I? |
39486 | Is your name Pearl? |
39486 | May I ask,said the doctor, with a smiling face,"what people generally call you?" |
39486 | Well, when you were a girl what did your mother call you? |
39486 | What do you mean? 39486 What does the mistress mean?" |
39486 | What have you gained to- day in your appeal to the goddess? |
39486 | What is its weight? |
39486 | What is the matter,I asked,"and why do you stop?" |
39486 | What is the matter,I at last asked,"and why are you making such a row over your meal?" |
39486 | What 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?" |
39486 | Yes, I mean you,he said;"what is your name?" |
39486 | Yes, I mean you; how old are you? |
39486 | You ask me what answer I have got to my petition to the goddess? |
39486 | You mean me? |
39486 | You mean my name? |
39486 | A person comes along who asks them what they are talking about? |
39486 | And is it any marvel that this should happen? |
39486 | Are you acquainted with the wiles of the Chinese mind, or will you accept everything you are told as though it were gospel truth? |
39486 | Are you not afraid of teaching him to be a liar? |
39486 | Are you shrewd and wideawake, or are you so green that you can be cheated with your eyes open? |
39486 | But how amid the maze of narrow streets shall he find a shop where he shall be able to make his selection? |
39486 | Coming to her turn to be treated, the doctor said to her,"What is your name?" |
39486 | Confucius replied,"Whilst we do not know sufficiently of life, how can we know anything about death?" |
39486 | Did you expect us to come without having had our breakfast? |
39486 | Do you know where it is?" |
39486 | Do you see this man?" |
39486 | Does he understand his work? |
39486 | Have you the medicine you just now spoke of as essential in my case? |
39486 | He must be guilty, for how otherwise would he be here charged with this offence? |
39486 | How could one expect that it should? |
39486 | How could we come earlier with all these things to do? |
39486 | How did it come about that your mother gave it you?" |
39486 | In this case there was no one to bring any complaint before the authorities; for what was the crime? |
39486 | Is he good- tempered, or is he touchy and masterful, and, like most Chinese, does he want his own way? |
39486 | Knowing this peculiarity of the Chinese mind, you repeat your order, and you ask him if he knows where the post- office is? |
39486 | The question often arises, how is it they are all so identical? |
39486 | Was it safe, therefore, for him under these circumstances to accept the offer that had been made him, or should he reject it? |
39486 | Were 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? |
39486 | What had her conduct got to do with the favour of the goddess? |
39486 | What motive could he bring before them to induce them bravely to meet death? |
39486 | Where can it have got to?" |
39486 | Who are these men that thrust themselves so prominently upon the notice of the stranger and the traveller? |
39486 | Why delay? |
39486 | Why 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? |
39486 | Will you watch everything that is going on in your kitchen, or will you leave the full control in his hands? |
39486 | You are astonished, and you ask him, with a look of wonder on your face, what he means and what he intends doing? |
39486 | You say to a man, for example, more for the purpose perhaps of having something to say than anything else,"How old are you?" |
39486 | of course we are; you would not have us waste the food, would you? |
56089 | But would the American Government assist China in bearing the responsibilities of such a step? |
56089 | Could the Allies, even with the assistance of the United States, win a decisive victory? |
56089 | Do you not think that General Tuan should leave Peking? |
56089 | Have you not,the Premier asked me,"found me always candid and true?" |
56089 | What form,I asked,"has the Chinese answer taken?" |
56089 | What is the present state of the war, and what the relative strength or degree of exhaustion of the belligerent parties? |
56089 | What is the purpose of your government? |
56089 | What substitute for this protection do you suggest? |
56089 | What, then, will happen at the conclusion of the war? |
56089 | What,the Premier asked,"may be expected of America by way of direct military action? |
56089 | Will 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?" |
56089 | A New World War Coming? |
56089 | But the Premier met all my explanations with:"What can we do? |
56089 | But when the minister I saw most frequently would ask:"But what will you do to maintain these rights you have so often asserted?" |
56089 | CHAPTER XXVIII A NEW WORLD WAR COMING? |
56089 | Could foreign financial action and influence in China be gathered up into a unit? |
56089 | Could it be made to build for the whole of China, not tear it down in its several parts? |
56089 | Did he not remember the Treaty of 1903 and America''s long- continued interest in Chinese currency betterment? |
56089 | Do you not know that Japanese engineers were formerly employed there?" |
56089 | Do you suppose that some of our friends in China would wish to contribute?" |
56089 | England 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? |
56089 | I could not explain its purposes; but when my visitor asked:"Does this paper recognize the paramount position of Japan in China?" |
56089 | If not, will she not lead in a reorganization loan joined by several powers?" |
56089 | Not perceiving anything unusual to which his expression of horror could refer, I asked,"What?" |
56089 | Now what shall we do?" |
56089 | Now will not the United States independently finance China? |
56089 | Or again:"Are you not weary of the domineering attitude of the foreign ministers in Peking? |
56089 | Questions came from all directions:"Is this action to be immediate?" |
56089 | Should they await its delivery, or try to placate the Japanese by further concessions? |
56089 | Should we stand together, who could close the door in our face?" |
56089 | The Premier asked:"Why not go ahead with the development of mining and iron manufacture? |
56089 | The chauffeur had said:"Is your old man going to sign up? |
56089 | The present American administration might withdraw its"pretensions"; but what if they should be resumed in future? |
56089 | Then also our people, having grown wise, will be sure to shout:"Why was not this stopped while there was yet time?" |
56089 | Two days later the representative of the London_ Times_, who had been out of town, asked me casually:"Has anything happened?" |
56089 | Was a new one looming? |
56089 | Was not here a vindication of distinct priority enjoyed by Japan in China? |
56089 | Was not this the entering wedge for a complete control of Chinese military affairs by Japan? |
56089 | Was she to get the rest? |
56089 | What exceptions would be made? |
56089 | What matters the woe of the whole nation by the side of the joy and happiness of our own families?" |
56089 | What should she do? |
56089 | Why are they so slow to come in?" |
56089 | Why may she not have the raw materials for them?" |
56089 | Why not hold her in a prison somewhere in Germany until the war is over?" |
56089 | With eyes of real sadness he looked me full in the face, saying:"What shall we do? |
56089 | With whom would he ally himself? |
56089 | Would China longer freely coöperate with the other Allies? |
56089 | Would it also mean the end of sinister intrigue in China? |
56089 | Would it not be useful if the American Government would confirm Mr. Bryan''s statement? |
56089 | Would not Chinese militarism be strengthened and made obedient to Japanese policy? |
56089 | Would not this alone be ample security for a large conservancy loan? |
56089 | Would she not be under Japan''s strict leadership? |
56089 | Would the neutral ministers view the Allied ministers as guests of honour on this occasion? |

13420 | Great Brother,he ejaculated,"why journeyest thou wearisomely towards Yung- ch''ang? |
13420 | What does she say, T''ong? |
13420 | And as I look upon it all I wonder-- wonder whether with the"Opening of China"this must all change? |
13420 | And then, after a time:"You no wantchee catch''chow''?" |
13420 | And who will contradict it? |
13420 | Art thou not the''Living Garment of God''? |
13420 | But the new life can come from whence? |
13420 | But, again, will she? |
13420 | Can do?" |
13420 | Could I not from such things get free, even in Inland China? |
13420 | DOES CHINA WANT THE FOREIGNER? |
13420 | Did I not know that the foreigner_ must_ have a chair? |
13420 | Did it reach to the ends of the Empire? |
13420 | Did the blank, blank, blank cook, the worm and no man, not know that a foreigner was among them? |

13420 | I wonder at his ignorance of merest rudimentary political economy-- but why? |
13420 | I wonder whether you, reader, were ever thirsty? |
13420 | If there is no opium, where do the people so easily secure it in endeavors to take their lives upon the slightest provocation? |
13420 | Is it then surprising that I look upon these stupendous masses with wonder, which seem to breathe only eternity and immensity? |
13420 | Is there any business man in the Straits Settlements who has not the same opinion of the Straits- born Chinese? |
13420 | May I give a word of advice here to any reader contemplating a visit to China under similar conditions? |
13420 | Mysterious words, what could they mean? |
13420 | No international question has become more hackneyed than"Does China want the foreigner?" |
13420 | O 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? |
13420 | See? |
13420 | See? |
13420 | Shall I ever forget the day? |
13420 | Shall I say the shadow of the smile upon her lips deepened and softened with an infinite compassion? |
13420 | Shall I? |
13420 | Should there be a rebellion, would the soldiers remain true? |
13420 | Something had happened, but what? |
13420 | The question is, will he? |
13420 | Very warm?" |
13420 | Was the reform, if genuine at all, universal in China? |
13420 | Were all the foreigners resident in this town dodging us, afraid of us-- or what? |
13420 | Were they going to kill me? |
13420 | What 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? |
13420 | What is it that makes a man''s heart go pit- a- pat when he is about to meet a European lady in mid- China? |
13420 | What on earth did you come for?" |
13420 | What right had he to listen to what I in secret would say of the horrid keeper and his twice horrid shakedown inn? |
13420 | What the---- who the----?" |
13420 | What was the little trick? |
13420 | What would have become of me? |
13420 | What would the canny Highlander or the rural English rustic think of two pig- tailed men tramping through his countryside? |
13420 | What, then, was the little game? |
13420 | When 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? |
13420 | Where, then, was our picul of rice, and our curry, and our sugar? |
13420 | Who can describe it? |
13420 | Who is there that could give his time and energy to the removal of a dead man? |
13420 | Who is there, who knows anything about it, who would wish to see the Chinese character drop out of the national life? |
13420 | Will she go? |
13420 | Will 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? |
13420 | shall I? |
13420 | why do I not name thee God? |
26162 | And what did they do? |
26162 | Are you hurt? |
26162 | Ask the Chinese Government? |
26162 | Ask the Chinese? 26162 But if they have n''t the money, if they must borrow?" |
26162 | But, naturally, you hate us all? |
26162 | Do you admire the view? |
26162 | Have you an invitation to tiffin? |
26162 | How do the European nations acquire these''spheres of influence''in China? |
26162 | Just notify China? |
26162 | Mess? |
26162 | Present for Missy; cumshaw,says the pleasant voice, and what can you do? |
26162 | Trus''dat niggah? |
26162 | What with, stupid Gretchen? |
26162 | What''s the difference? |
26162 | Which of us do you hate most? |
26162 | Why did n''t he wait till the Chinese took it down? |
26162 | Why do n''t you leave us alone? |
26162 | Why not? |
26162 | You 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? |
26162 | Do you think a ten- thousand- dollar automobile is handsome? |
26162 | Do you think donkeys are sure- footed? |
26162 | Do you think we can do so? |
26162 | Does it not seem rather ludicrous that she should suddenly proclaim herself the upholder of international law? |
26162 | Finally, in exasperation, the American turned to the silent Chinese and asked:"Where the hell is China?" |
26162 | From whom? |
26162 | Germs? |
26162 | Glad Missy back,""Missy like Peking best?" |
26162 | How are they behaving? |
26162 | How are they taking it, the Chinese? |
26162 | How can I reconcile this impression with previous ones, of the docility and servility we had previously encountered? |
26162 | How can a virtually bankrupt nation like China take up arms, which she does n''t possess, against the mighty nations of Europe? |
26162 | How comes it that she''s got this sudden influx of moral strength? |
26162 | How then, can a Government be held responsible when it is not in a position to enforce its authority? |
26162 | However, I ask myself-- I who am nothing if not fair- minded-- why should n''t missionaries act as recruiting- agents? |
26162 | Is the participation in the war beneficial to China or to the Entente Powers? |
26162 | Is this the same China that accepted the deal of the Shanghai Opium Combine, powerless to prevent it? |
26162 | Is this the same China, prating about the sanctity of international law, that sat supine and helpless under the French grab of Lao Hsi Kai? |
26162 | Like Moses of old, she is now stretching forth her arms; but who are they who uphold those arms? |
26162 | One"adviser"arranges everything nicely in the interests of his country, and then what does the"corrupt"Chinese official do? |
26162 | Saddles? |
26162 | Shall we be trotting home again?" |
26162 | Thought of what? |
26162 | Was it not to render assistance to the Entente Powers, and was it not to render direct help to Great Britain? |
26162 | Well, what can one do? |
26162 | What did they do? |
26162 | What else could we have done? |
26162 | What happened? |
26162 | What''s the use of spending years converting heathen into Christians, if they are not to act as Christians? |
26162 | Who are we, to question the truth of them? |
26162 | Who or which shall it be? |
26162 | Who would n''t be in the circumstances? |
26162 | Why did we address a protest to the German Government against its submarine warfare? |
26162 | Why not try to forget? |
26162 | Why remember? |
26162 | Why should there be any scruples about enlisting converts for a"Holy War"? |
26162 | Why? |
26162 | Will that nation be given liberty to suppress her press, to stifle all opposition to whatever moves military necessity may dictate? |
26162 | Would it not be well to see that these ripe plums do not fall into the lap of Chinese incompetence? |
26162 | You ask, why did n''t the Chinese fight? |

26162 | said one;"trus''dat niggah? |
58369 | ''But the picture Maou- yen- show brought to me?'' 58369 Adopt Tuen?" |
58369 | And what is it? |
58369 | Beautiful, did you say? |
58369 | But what god is this that he worships? |
58369 | But who is Jesus? |
58369 | Can no one help me out of this unfortunate difficulty? |
58369 | Can you do anything? |
58369 | Can you tell me nothing that will interest me? 58369 Did you ever dream there were so many boats and so many people in the world, Wang?" |
58369 | Did you, father? |
58369 | Do I no longer please you, that you want to get rid of me? |
58369 | Do you dare to question the accounts of our great historians-- you, a foolish girl? 58369 Do you not see that this is the procession of the Rain Dragons? |
58369 | How can I ever repay you, dear Wang,Tuen cried,"for teaching me to do this? |
58369 | How can there be anything to tell after she was married? |
58369 | I know that,she said, impatiently,"but what I mean is, could it ever happen again?" |
58369 | If she were very wise, could she have power, even in the Forbidden City? |
58369 | Is it that you are angry with me? |
58369 | Is there a God of Love? |
58369 | Is there no danger that where there are so many crafts some may be run into and sunk? |
58369 | Is there no rice, father? |
58369 | Must I go so soon? |
58369 | Seeing that she did not speak, but only blushed the more, he asked:''What is your name?'' |
58369 | Sell who again? |
58369 | Taught to read? |
58369 | The truth? |
58369 | Then it would be a great favor to you if I went and looked happy? |
58369 | Well, first, why do you wish to learn to read? |
58369 | Were the gods deaf to their prayers, that they should thus destroy them? |
58369 | Were you glad? |
58369 | What matters a girl? |
58369 | What? |
58369 | Where did he get her? |
58369 | Who ever heard of a woman who could read, or who even wanted to? 58369 Who is this creature?" |
58369 | Why should you, when you have food and clothes here? 58369 Why?" |
58369 | Will the dragons let it rain now, father? |
58369 | Yes, why not? |
58369 | You 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?" |
58369 | And how dare you speak of selling her? |
58369 | Do n''t you say so, Wang?" |
58369 | Have you not some news of what goes on in the city?" |
58369 | Is not that enough?" |
58369 | Is not that true, O Wise ruler of the province of Kiangsi?" |
58369 | Just when she was so happy must it all come to an end? |
58369 | May I ask whither you are bound, that you traverse this bleak plain?" |
58369 | Now tell me what gods are the most to be feared?" |
58369 | Of all living creatures which would you like to be?" |
58369 | One 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?" |
58369 | Perhaps it was the admiration she read in his face, perhaps but an impulse that caused Tuen to ask abruptly:"What is your name?" |
58369 | Seeing that no one moved she cried, angrily:"What, is the reward not great enough? |
58369 | She was satisfied, why not let her stay where she was? |
58369 | The music sinks to a low, reverberating wail as the Princess tragically exclaims:"What place is this?" |
58369 | The old story- teller turned his face toward her, and asked, scornfully:"Who would listen to the babble of a woman? |
58369 | Was she again to be sent forth, alone and friendless, among strangers? |
58369 | What can the people hope when they have such rulers? |
58369 | What did he mean? |
58369 | What is it?" |
58369 | When 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?" |
58369 | Who first made porcelain? |
58369 | Who made paper first? |
58369 | Who was it that discovered the compass? |
58369 | Why did you not ask him for a silk dress, or for a pair of gold ear- rings? |
58369 | Why might not their souls, wandering in the unknown, look back to earth and listen to the prayers of mortals? |
58369 | Why should you make sport of me?" |
58369 | Will you not accept it, and thereby lighten a traveller''s load?" |
58369 | Wo Ting made a sign of assent, and someone else remarked:"Why not? |
58369 | Would he be pleased? |
58369 | Would he speak to her? |
58369 | Would he wear it there? |
58369 | Would you like to hear of her?" |
58369 | cried the astonished Emperor;''not Woo How, the daughter of one Tai- ting?'' |
11754 | Are missionaries subject to discipline by the Tai- hoey? |
11754 | Are the missionaries members of Tai- hoey in full and on a perfect equality with the native members? |
11754 | But whence this cheerfulness? 11754 Is it likely that there can be but one Presbyterian Church in China? |
11754 | Is it not likely that the sooner the native churches become self- governing, the sooner they will be self- supporting and self- propagating? |
11754 | Is not that a specimen of humility? 11754 What are these benevolent- looking barbarians tramping up and down the country for? |
11754 | Why 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? |
11754 | An extract reads as follows:"But what shall I tell you of the Lord''s visitation of mercy at Chioh- be? |
11754 | And how many do you think have been strangled at birth? |
11754 | And where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from? |
11754 | Are they all alive? |
11754 | Are they happy? |
11754 | Are they well? |
11754 | But how and where has this test been applied and found so satisfactory? |
11754 | But how was it to be done? |
11754 | But the grace of God triumphed and again she said,"I prayed to God for this, how can I object?" |
11754 | But the point is, how can our disapproval of the mongrel Classis mar the peace of the Amoy brethren? |
11754 | But, 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? |
11754 | Can this be secured? |
11754 | Can we give them a sufficient reason for such separation? |
11754 | Do not different denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land? |
11754 | Do you ask why? |
11754 | Do you remember that many years ago I said,''I am going to be a missionary''?" |
11754 | Does this look as if missions were a failure in this region? |
11754 | Has it been tested in China? |
11754 | Has it been tested in Japan? |
11754 | He, also, has rights; but how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them? |
11754 | How shall the company of believers be organized and governed? |
11754 | How, then, can we do this thing? |
11754 | I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice? |
11754 | I inquired,''Is he not a man?'' |
11754 | IS CHINA TO BE WON, AND HOW? |
11754 | If he can benefit his fellow- men by running the risk of losing his own life, shall he hesitate to run that risk?" |
11754 | If not, what modifications shall be made? |
11754 | In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said that we are looking for a chimera? |
11754 | Is Chinese human nature different from American? |
11754 | Is any one inclined to blame him too much for this, as though he wore himself out and sacrificed his life before the time? |
11754 | Is 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? |
11754 | Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing? |
11754 | It ought to be so, ought it not? |
11754 | Let Almighty grace for nearly three- quarters of a century triumph in a man''s soul, and do you wonder that he is happy? |
11754 | Now, who dare say that this shall not exist at Amoy? |
11754 | Oh, when will He stay His hand? |
11754 | Our churches originally were one, and still are one, and the question is not whether those churches shall be united, but shall they be separated? |
11754 | Possibly the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one? |
11754 | Shall it be exactly on the model of the church which the missionary represents? |
11754 | Shall the seedling ten thousand miles away be roped to the mother tree or shall it be encouraged to stand alone? |
11754 | The City of the"Elegant Gate"Description of Amoy and Amoy Island Ancestral Worship Infanticide Is China to be won, and how? |
11754 | The''King of Glory''suffered, and shall a sinful man complain? |
11754 | Was not this sometimes the case in the days of the apostles? |
11754 | We now ask, Can the Prudential Committee expect of us, while we hold such views, to conform to their decision? |
11754 | What advantages in independence? |
11754 | What is the House of Hapsburg or Stuarts, compared with being son of the Lord God Almighty? |
11754 | What is this request? |
11754 | What perils? |
11754 | What relation shall he sustain to the home church? |
11754 | What shall be our relation as individuals to the Dutch Church in America? |
11754 | What shall be the status of the foreign missionary before the native church just organizing? |
11754 | What voice so cheering as hers, to conduct him down the steep of old age? |
11754 | What will the aged man do without this other to lean on? |
11754 | Who can so well understand how to sympathize and counsel? |
11754 | Why are they establishing churches and schools and hospitals? |
11754 | Why not? |
11754 | Why strive to entail like evils on our missionary churches? |
11754 | Will Mr. Stronach recognize his native land? |
11754 | Will not their prayers be heard? |
11754 | Wonder where and how my many friends are? |
11754 | Would 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? |
11754 | Would it, indeed? |
11754 | Would they respect us if we did? |
11754 | or are differences of dialect, etc., such as to make different organizations necessary and inevitable?" |

26553 | Who calls? |
26553 | Who comes this way? |
26553 | Who''d be Prime Minister? |
26553 | Why does my hand such tempting bait afford? |
26553 | Why make you such a fuss? |
26553 | Why should I grieve to see That men for love such arrant fools can be? |
26553 | Why should my person, throne, and wealth be booty To one harsh, jealous master? |
26553 | Why, what harm''s done? |
26553 | Why, what''s the matter? |
26553 | Will treachery be used my life to end? |
26553 | Wouldst doom me to a life, of love bereft? |
26553 | You had possession-- nine points of the law, Why should you for her meagrims care one straw? |
26553 | You know my stranger- guest? |
26553 | You stupid, do n''t you know the whole Divan Are called to meet as quickly as they can? |
26553 | You understand? |
26553 | here-- alive? |
26553 | must thy life thus end? |
26553 | what dreary sprite? |
26553 | when 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? |
56985 | And is it really the case,said Frank,"that a Japanese baby never cries?" |
56985 | And so these things come here in cans, do they? |
56985 | And were lost in it, I suppose? |
56985 | And what are norimons and cangos? |
56985 | And what is sa- kee, please? |
56985 | And what is the difference between Buddhism and Shintoism? |
56985 | And what was the edict? |
56985 | And you''ll let me go with them, wo n''t you, father? |
56985 | Another thing,said Fred--"why is it that the grooms are covered with tattoo- marks, and wear so little clothing?" |
56985 | Anything else? |
56985 | But does every Chinese who goes to a foreign country understand how to talk pidgin English? |
56985 | But you wo n''t let him go all alone, father, now, will you? |
56985 | Ca n''t we go first to Yeddo? |
56985 | Can I get any kind of money with this letter, father? |
56985 | Can it be? 56985 Did n''t you find that an orange would buy more cherries or apples at one time than at another?" |
56985 | Did they destroy the cities that we see in ruins? |
56985 | Do my eyes deceive me? 56985 Do you mean the island of Pappenberg?" |
56985 | Doctor Bronson has been there before, has n''t he, father? |
56985 | How can I tell? |
56985 | How do you know which way to turn? |
56985 | How long shall we be on the voyage, Doctor? |
56985 | How was that? |
56985 | How was that? |
56985 | I ca n''t think of it,replied Frank;"what is it?" |
56985 | If they did no work,said Frank,"how did they manage to live?" |
56985 | Is there any law about it? |
56985 | Now,continued Frank,"there are thirty- two points of the compass; do you know them?" |
56985 | Please, Doctor,said Frank,"what is the nature of the notices they put on the sign- board?" |
56985 | Please, Doctor,said Mary,"what do you mean by legal tender?" |
56985 | Something Japanese? |
56985 | Then the emperor is called the Mikado, is he not? |
56985 | Well, how did he live all that time? |
56985 | Well, 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?" |
56985 | Well, what is it? |
56985 | Well, what is it? |
56985 | Were you ever sea- sick, Doctor? |
56985 | What did you do then, Doctor? |
56985 | What do they use for the burning? |
56985 | What do you suppose it was? 56985 What is it?" |
56985 | What is it? |
56985 | What is that? |
56985 | What is the jin- riki- sha? |
56985 | What is the reason they do n''t strike the hours here as they do on land? |
56985 | What is the use of writing up our Canton experiences,said Frank,"till we know what we are to do? |
56985 | What puts that into your head, Kathleen? |
56985 | What time in the evening must we go,said Fred,"so as to be there in season for the beginning of the performance?" |
56985 | What was that? |
56985 | What''s that to do with the crow? |
56985 | Where are we going, please? |
56985 | Where away? |
56985 | Why are we like that chambermaid over there? |
56985 | Why do n''t they work on the ground instead of climbing up there? |
56985 | Why do they call that the Golden Gate? |
56985 | Why is that network we have just been looking at like a crow calling to his mates? |
56985 | Why so? |
56985 | Why so? |
56985 | Why, everything,Frank answered;"the crow makes ye- caw- go, does n''t it?" |
56985 | Why, what could pirates have to do with this boat, I wonder? |
56985 | Why? 56985 Will we stop anywhere on the way?" |
56985 | Would n''t it be well to go the day before? |
56985 | Would the money be lost altogether? |
56985 | You mean those little things the Japanese sleep on? |
56985 | But then what could you expect of a lot of heathens like the Japanese? |
56985 | Could anything be more fortunate? |
56985 | Curious custom, is n''t it, according to our notions?" |
56985 | Do n''t you see that Bishop Berkeley wrote before railways were invented, and before people could travel as they do nowadays? |
56985 | Do you observe that one side of the island is like a precipice?" |
56985 | Do you see that little hollow down there?" |
56985 | Do you see that low bank there, in front of a mud- wall to the left of the fort?" |
56985 | Do you think my old drawing- master at home could do the same thing? |
56985 | Frank inquired,"or must I take it in pounds sterling? |
56985 | He 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?" |
56985 | I wonder if they make much money out of the music they are playing? |
56985 | Is n''t it a grand idea?" |
56985 | Perhaps 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? |
56985 | Then the question naturally arose,"How is the operation performed?" |
56985 | Then the question very naturally arose,"What is pidgin English?" |
56985 | Thus:''Can do walkee?'' |
56985 | Very kind, is n''t it? |
56985 | Very sensible advice, I think-- don''t you? |
56985 | What do you mean?" |
56985 | What is the meaning of this?" |
56985 | What was it?" |
56985 | Why 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?" |
56985 | Wo n''t that be nice?" |
56985 | You 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? |
56985 | You 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?" |
56985 | an American leader for Chinese?" |
56985 | means''Are you able to walk?'' |
56985 | said he;"what are those beautiful white birds?" |
17003 | Have you seen them? |
17003 | What do you mean by deceiving me? |
17003 | And yet what did this mean? |
17003 | Are they traces of a forgotten siege? |
17003 | But about the trains-- why are they stopping? |
17003 | But could anything have dared to move to us? |
17003 | But for how long? |
17003 | But the ultimatum-- what is it, and against whom is it so summarily directed? |
17003 | But will this last? |
17003 | Does he not know his history? |
17003 | Everybody was obviously making for the north of the city; what was going on in the other quarters to cause this exodus? |
17003 | Foolish bishop he is, is he not, when Christians have been expressly born to be massacred? |
17003 | From whence came that shot? |
17003 | Had they seen me? |
17003 | Have you ever heard a high- velocity machine- gun firing down deserted and gloomy thorough- fares? |
17003 | How could it have been? |
17003 | How long will this last?... |
17003 | I asked for them-- where were they kept? |
17003 | I began to ask myself this question: Were we really playing an immense comedy, or was there a great and terrible peril menacing us? |
17003 | I know that half of them are much upset at the_ role_ they are being forced to play, but who can help them? |
17003 | I waited patiently to see how they proposed to solve this problem-- did they wish a bold, open, frontal attack or an underground plot? |
17003 | In all the clouds of dust and smoke around them, how can they understand? |
17003 | Is it always thus with faith? |
17003 | Is it good to hope on a 13th, or is it mere foolishness to thing about such things? |
17003 | Is it only the power not to be afraid which makes one a hero? |
17003 | Is it true that they are losing courage? |
17003 | Is it true, or is it merely a mistake, such as life- loving man most naturally makes? |
17003 | Is not the South African War still proceeding, and has England not enough troubles without this additional one? |
17003 | It means... what the devil does it mean? |
17003 | K---- was manifestly plotting for those watches; it was not my business-- what did it matter to me if he took everything there was? |
17003 | Marines, sailors, and Legation juniors groaned; was this opportunity to be missed? |
17003 | Meanwhile, is there anything special for me to chronicle? |
17003 | Now do you wonder about our clocks and our watches, and our time? |
17003 | Of 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? |
17003 | Otherwise, why had they been brought? |
17003 | Passers- by, did I say? |
17003 | Somehow my heart sank within me at this; was it too late? |
17003 | Suddenly a quiet voice said to him in French out of the gloom:"_ Monsieur desire quelque chose? |
17003 | They had not made anything-- was not that a sufficient excuse for any behaviour? |
17003 | They wanted to go to the British Legation; not to this place-- what was it; where was the British Legation? |
17003 | Was all the world still asleep, tired from the night''s debauch, or was it merely the end of everything? |
17003 | Was it really so? |
17003 | We are still on speaking terms with the Chinese Government, but who knows what the morrow may bring? |
17003 | Were they white troops at last-- were they Bannermen of the white Banners?... |
17003 | Were we trapped? |
17003 | What could I do?... |
17003 | What course should we take, if the attack was suddenly carried all round our area? |
17003 | What did it matter? |
17003 | What did that door mean? |
17003 | What did this fleeing to the north of the city and this ominous quiet mean? |
17003 | What did this mean? |
17003 | What did we wish? |
17003 | What had happened to all the inhabitants? |
17003 | What has happened to justify all this, you will ask? |
17003 | What in the name of all that is extraordinary was happening to cause these strange doings? |
17003 | What is going to happen? |
17003 | What is the use of depriving one''s self for the common good later on under such circumstances? |
17003 | What is to be the next thing? |
17003 | What should we do-- push on or go back? |
17003 | What was it? |
17003 | What were these newcomers? |
17003 | What, indeed, did it matter? |
17003 | What, then, has happened? |
17003 | Where had the famed Boxers vanished to? |
17003 | Where the devil were our relieving columns? |
17003 | Where were the Russians, the Italians, and the Germans? |
17003 | Where were they all?... |
17003 | Who has not heard that pleasant sound? |
17003 | Who was to go? |
17003 | Who would not rob a fleeing Emperor of his possessions? |
17003 | Why have they wives, you will ask, since they are only half men, and can not perform the duties of the male? |
17003 | Why should so many be called-- why should we die thus in a hole?... |
17003 | Why should the obvious be so often discovered? |
17003 | Why, you will ask? |
17003 | Wife of a eunuch, did I say? |
17003 | Will not something happen which will fling our enemy against us animated by one desire--a desire to slay us one and all? |
17003 | With a natural impulse, everybody''s attention became concentrated on this fugitive: would he reach cover in safety? |
17003 | Would I go? |
17003 | Would it have been safety? |
17003 | Yet can one ever forget? |
17003 | Yet, what could be done-- what steps could be taken? |
17003 | You remember the V- shaped barricade garrisoned by Russian sailors, I spoke about a few days ago? |
17003 | mais ou est l''or?_"It was almost pitiful to hear him repeat these words again and again like a child. |
17003 | was I no longer to experience that supreme delight of shooting and being shot at-- of that unending excitement? |
17003 | was it really over?... |
48788 | A foreigner? |
48788 | Are there other foreigners here? |
48788 | Are you speaking of Pragmatism? 48788 At billiards?" |
48788 | But I thought you had one year''s furlough every seven? |
48788 | But do n''t you want to see your daughter? |
48788 | But if it is so easy to write a play why do dramatists take so long about it? |
48788 | But what is your explanation? |
48788 | But what on earth makes you stay with the man? |
48788 | But what''s the grave for? |
48788 | But you, do you know what you are doing? |
48788 | Do n''t you think we might leave it till after luncheon? |
48788 | Do they know you''ve come here? |
48788 | Do you believe in fate? |
48788 | Do you care for a game of billiards? |
48788 | Do you know it was found within thirty miles of here, on this side of the Tibetan frontier? |
48788 | Do you know who that is? |
48788 | Do you like them better than paintings? |
48788 | Do you think so? 48788 Do you think so?" |
48788 | Do you think that is why I wear it? |
48788 | Do you? |
48788 | Does it require no more than that to write a play? |
48788 | Everything go off all right? |
48788 | For me? |
48788 | Found where? |
48788 | Have you not noticed that Ibsen uses the same plot over and over again? 48788 Have you read_ Les Avarià © s_?" |
48788 | Have you studied the modern developments of philosophy in America? |
48788 | He had lodgings with you? |
48788 | He''s priceless, is n''t he? |
48788 | Hulloa,he said,"where have you sprung from?" |
48788 | Hume 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?" |
48788 | Nerve, eh? |
48788 | Nice looking fellow, eh? |
48788 | Roads to Freedom? 48788 Shall we say apartments then?" |
48788 | Tell me,I said,"do you believe God will condemn the Chinese to eternal punishment if they do n''t accept Christianity?" |
48788 | They do not go so far as to get out and let the nuns ride in their stead? |
48788 | Well,they said,"did you see the blighter shot?" |
48788 | Well? |
48788 | What are you having a grave dug for? |
48788 | What do you mean? |
48788 | What do you mean? |
48788 | What have you written? |
48788 | What is socialism? |
48788 | What is the reason for which you deem yourselves our betters? 48788 What is your name?" |
48788 | What the devil do you mean by that? 48788 What''s the good of going back to England?" |
48788 | What''s the young man like? |
48788 | When are you going home? |
48788 | When are you going on leave? |
48788 | Who the devil''s that for? |
48788 | Who was this anyway? |
48788 | Why,she asked,"do you English write such silly books about Russia?" |
48788 | Will these American students ever produce anything like this? |
48788 | Wo n''t you also give me a translation? |
48788 | Would 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?'' |
48788 | Am I right or am I wrong?" |
48788 | And the string? |
48788 | And what will become of your superiority when the yellow man can make as good guns as the white and fire them as straight? |
48788 | But how can I analyse the subtle quality which distinguished this old man? |
48788 | Do you call yourself a Christian?" |
48788 | Do you know that we tried an experiment which is unique in the history of the world? |
48788 | Do you know what I did?" |
48788 | Do you not know that there are in this country four hundred millions of the most practical and industrious people in the world? |
48788 | Do you not know that we have a genius for mechanics? |
48788 | Do you think it will take us long to learn? |
48788 | England? |
48788 | Has our civilisation been less elaborate, less complicated, less refined than yours? |
48788 | Have our thinkers been less profound than yours? |
48788 | Have you excelled us in arts or letters? |
48788 | Have you seen the last one?" |
48788 | He 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?" |
48788 | How long had the kingdom lasted and what tragedy marked its fall? |
48788 | I knew he was drunk, but I did not think he was very drunk, till he asked me suddenly:"What is democracy?" |
48788 | Shall I tell you? |
48788 | Shall we go into the drawing- room?" |
48788 | The moment he got back to his office he called to his number two:"I say, Peters, who''s dead, d''you know?" |
48788 | Then why does the white man despise the yellow? |
48788 | What bold adventurer was he who had penetrated so far towards the East to found a kingdom? |
48788 | What did he care about Shanghai? |
48788 | What did it matter what people thought? |
48788 | What did it mean? |
48788 | What in heaven''s name was to be done? |
48788 | When they had met that afternoon Dr. Saunders had exclaimed:"What on earth has brought you to the city at this time of year?" |
48788 | Why had he ever come? |
48788 | Why should he unless he were a missionary or a Chinese Secretary at the Legation? |
48788 | You could n''t have an hallucination twice, could you? |
48788 | Yü?" |
44043 | And so Chook Aloong is an opium smoker? |
44043 | Are all these men dying from opium smoking? |
44043 | But where are all the people who are suffering from opium smoking? |
44043 | But where are the smokers? |
44043 | Do many people smoke? |
44043 | Do you sell much? |
44043 | Oh, is not this a terrible thing? |
44043 | What for,said he,"you say my no talkee lie? |
44043 | You say they are good, respectable men? |
44043 | Against whom and against what is all this outcry? |
44043 | And for whom pray would this sacrifice be made? |
44043 | And what fault can be found with the merchants? |
44043 | Are these Chinese converts the class of the Chinese from which truth is to be gleaned? |
44043 | As he leaves he asks his guide,"Does the keeper of the opium shop expect a gratuity?" |
44043 | As to the tincture of opium( commonly called laudanum),_ that_ might certainly intoxicate, if a man could bear to take enough of it; but why? |
44043 | But even admitting, for argument''s sake, that smuggling in its ordinary acceptation did, in fact, exist, how does the matter stand? |
44043 | But how is it that such divergent opinions can exist between Englishmen living in China and certain Englishmen here at home? |
44043 | But what does Sir Robert Hart, with all his official information, say? |
44043 | But what if it be a mere figment of the imagination, and absolutely devoid, as Dr. Medhurst says, of a semblance of truth? |
44043 | By what right could the English Government or any other Government do such things? |
44043 | Can he believe that human nature in China is different to what it is in Europe? |
44043 | Could any evidence against the allegations of the Anti- Opium Society be stronger than this? |
44043 | Could anything be more disingenuous than this? |
44043 | Could the force of folly or fanaticism go further than that? |
44043 | Does Mr. Storrs Turner consider those gentlemen worthy of credit? |
44043 | Does it not strike His Lordship how absurd is such an antithesis as pleasure and death? |
44043 | Does not that form the strongest possible evidence that the Chinese are an extremely steady and abstemious race? |
44043 | Drink vely bad for Inglismen; what for you do n''t go home and teach them to be soba, plaupa men?" |
44043 | Here I would first inquire-- what is the poppy? |
44043 | How many times has it happened that the consuls have had discussions with the Chinese governors respecting these receiving ships? |
44043 | I 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? |
44043 | I do not believe there is any solid truth in this assertion; but if there is, what does the fact prove? |
44043 | I should like to ask Mr. Storrs Turner were the medical and other gentlemen then present Englishmen or foreigners? |
44043 | If that is not what is wished, what is? |
44043 | Is it honest or just to place the civilized, wise, and educated Chinese in the same category with the barbarous natives of Central Africa? |
44043 | Is it not the Chinese who go out of their ports to the"Receiving Ships"to fetch it? |
44043 | Is the Chinese nation composed of children, or of savages who do not know right from wrong? |
44043 | Is the testimony of such people of the slightest value? |
44043 | Is this patriotic or proper on the part of this Anti- Opium Society? |
44043 | Now did anyone ever hear of such an extraordinary explanation of De Quincey''s motives in publishing that volume? |
44043 | Now why have not these merchants ever complained that commerce has suffered from the opium traffic? |
44043 | Now, is that a fair parallel? |
44043 | Now, why are England and Englishmen thought so well of by the Chinese? |
44043 | Now, why is this belief so prevalent? |
44043 | Should the Company prohibit the culture of the drug in order to allow other nations to derive the emoluments arising from it? |
44043 | Should we then have the Chinese the hard- working, industrious, thrifty, frugal people that we find them? |
44043 | Storrs Turner, who is himself no mean Chinese scholar, to mislead his readers by making use of so forced and inapplicable a comparison? |
44043 | Take him to the Tung- Wah and to an opium shop, you savee?" |
44043 | The 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?" |
44043 | The whole affair is just as defensible a proceeding as that of some tenth- rate dauber who, having copied(?) |
44043 | They say,"We do not protect these ships; why do you not drive them away?" |
44043 | This is it:-- They[ the missionaries] secure some adherence to the Christian religion, no doubt, but what is the value of the Christianity? |
44043 | To reduce the quantity of opium smoked in China? |
44043 | Was he right or wrong in doing so? |
44043 | What do you mean, then, by trying to make Christians of us?" |
44043 | What was the celebrated saying of Prince Kung to the British Ambassador? |
44043 | What, then, is the fair conclusion to draw from such a state of things? |
44043 | What, then, may I ask, is the reproach constantly hurled at the East India Company? |
44043 | Whence, then, comes the great bulk of the drug to satisfy all these smokers? |
44043 | Why does he not apply the same rule to the one as to the other? |
44043 | Why, then, does not the Government of China suppress the cultivation of the poppy there? |
44043 | Why, then, is it not grown here? |
44043 | Why? |
44043 | Yet these are the people whom Mr. Storrs Turner would put in the same category as the savages of Africa? |
44043 | Yet what are the present plans of this pragmatical body? |
44043 | is that the way?" |
22210 | ''Smart,''sir? |
22210 | ''Wild''you spell w- i- l- d? |
22210 | And where does he live? |
22210 | Are the people very obsequious to the Rajiwar? |
22210 | Are you quite sure, Kachi, that this lake is the home of the gods? |
22210 | Cut off my head? |
22210 | Cut off my head? |
22210 | Cut off our heads? |
22210 | Did you not feel the earth shake and quiver? |
22210 | Do the natives adopt any special method to protect themselves from these mountain demons? |
22210 | Do the spirits ever speak? |
22210 | Do you ever expect to become a saint? |
22210 | Do you hear the sound of bells? |
22210 | Do you know any one who has seen them? |
22210 | Does not Mr. Landor remind you of''that other''eccentric gentleman that came through here last year? |
22210 | Does not that sound more like an attack of indigestion? |
22210 | Have we passed the Gomba? 22210 Have you ever seen a spirit, Jagat Sing?" |
22210 | How is he clothed? |
22210 | How many coolies will you take, sir? |
22210 | Is it a Plenki? |
22210 | Sahib, do you see that island? |
22210 | Tell me,I said to Jagat Sing,"are there''spirits of the mountain''in these ranges? |
22210 | What are the evil qualities to be mostly avoided? |
22210 | What are you doing, sir? |
22210 | What are you going to do? |
22210 | What do you do with these? |
22210 | What have you done with it? |
22210 | What is that? |
22210 | What is that? |
22210 | What is your name? |
22210 | What? |
22210 | Where are your certificates? |
22210 | Where is my book, Chanden Sing? |
22210 | Where is your son? |
22210 | Where? |
22210 | Which way did it go? |
22210 | Who is that? |
22210 | Who is that? |
22210 | Why 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?") |
22210 | And do the people really believe in them?" |
22210 | And if it were the God''s decree that he should die, what could be the use of rebelling against it? |
22210 | And who better than the Lamas could make peace between God and him? |
22210 | And you?" |
22210 | Are you married? |
22210 | Are you one of his advance guard?" |
22210 | Are you still at Almora? |
22210 | Are your dear parents alive? |
22210 | As 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? |
22210 | Besides, what does it matter whether you die to- day or to- morrow?" |
22210 | But 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? |
22210 | Can we stop near your camp and pick up the food that you will throw away?" |
22210 | DEAR 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? |
22210 | Had he come across some of his mates? |
22210 | Have we not yet reached it?" |
22210 | Have you any brothers and sisters? |
22210 | Have you not got a copy of my official report? |
22210 | Having 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? |
22210 | How are your eyes and spine? |
22210 | How could we now turn back when so near our goal? |
22210 | How did the photographs which we took up at the Lippu Pass turn out? |
22210 | How many times had not my schemes been upset? |
22210 | How much do they want?" |
22210 | How spell?" |
22210 | I said to the Rongba,"what is that?" |
22210 | Is that the care you take of my notes and sketches? |
22210 | No doubt the satisfaction of going up high mountains is very great; but can it be compared to that of coming down? |
22210 | Or, as was more likely, had they been caught by the Jong Pen( the master of the fort), and been imprisoned and tortured? |
22210 | Should I dwindle painlessly away, preferring rest and peace to effort, or should I make a last struggle to save myself? |
22210 | THE BIOLOGICAL PROBLEM OF TO- DAY: Preformation or Epigenesis? |
22210 | Then you, sir, I, sir, five coolies, sir, start night- time, what clock?" |
22210 | Tumka hatte?_ Come, come, come quickly! |
22210 | Was what I saw before me real? |
22210 | Were the Tarjum''s men coming, preceded by their animals? |
22210 | Were these Tibetans trying to surprise us in our sleep, or could they be our men returning at last? |
22210 | Were we discovered? |
22210 | What have you done with them?" |
22210 | What is meaning? |
22210 | What is your name?" |
22210 | What is''kiang''in English?" |
22210 | What painter could do those mountains justice?" |
22210 | Where are you?" |
22210 | Why then should we expect them to be faithful to us? |
22210 | Will five do?" |
22210 | Would all the brides of the first man become the brides of the second? |
22210 | Would 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?") |
22210 | asked he inquisitively,"how long have you taken to come from Ladak?" |
22210 | or had he heard from the sepoys that they were in the neighbourhood? |
22210 | where has it gone?" |
12818 | But will he do nothing about the matter? |
12818 | How did you learn this? |
12818 | Is it possible that such a being as man can, according to law... become a slave even by his own consent? |
12818 | Is 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? |
12818 | What is this strange man doing here? |
12818 | Who 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?" |
12818 | Besides this long argumentative answer, one question must be answered:--Is it right to do or sanction wrong that good may come?" |
12818 | But from whence comes that danger of rudeness and insult or worse from which man is to protect woman? |
12818 | But need we go into further painful details? |
12818 | But to what purpose? |
12818 | But was that the truth? |
12818 | But what about working women? |
12818 | But what could a Chinese woman do in the face of such a debt? |
12818 | But what of the many young girls with whom exceptional conditions did not exist, when_ they_ were brought to the examination table? |
12818 | But what transpired when that Commission was held? |
12818 | But what would be the effect on any man having to administer such an Ordinance? |
12818 | But why should Americans be called upon to acquaint themselves with such loathsome details? |
12818 | But, what was the fashion of his uniform? |
12818 | By 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?'' |
12818 | Can not? |
12818 | Did he attend the receptions of His Excellency and the Port Admiral? |
12818 | Do we not pretend that it is such to all who are oppressed? |
12818 | Do you believe God did that, reader? |
12818 | Do you wonder that these girls do not tell everybody who asks them that they are unwilling captives? |
12818 | Forsooth, to protect her from what? |
12818 | From what motive will you read our recital? |
12818 | Have not murder and stealing always existed? |
12818 | Here, again, it may be asked what are the precise relations of the acting Colonial surgeon to''our private hospitals?'' |
12818 | How can we explain such a state of affairs? |
12818 | How could a Government that held slaves in its licensed brothels forbid Chinese residents holding slaves in their homes? |
12818 | How to administer them the Orient already knows, for has not the door to his domicile been already forced open by the Western trader? |
12818 | If she were sent to jail what would become of her little boy? |
12818 | Is it not quite likely it was from him she borrowed the money? |
12818 | Lonely and friendless, and poor, is she in no danger of a false accusation from malice or from error? |
12818 | Might she not in reality have been acting the part of"pocket- mother"to the girl?] |
12818 | Rattlesnakes, buffalo, lions, wildcats no more overrun the country, and why is this relation of"protector"still claimed? |
12818 | Reader, have you ever traveled on another''s ticket? |
12818 | She came and said to Tai Yau:"Who is this?" |
12818 | She is brought up the next day to be tried for the offence; but, before whom? |
12818 | She replied:"He said:''What can I do? |
12818 | Should not the entire country be one great city of refuge? |
12818 | So the three planned this campaign:"When is Detective---- coming?" |
12818 | The Attorney General:--"May I ask your Lordship to say on what charge?" |
12818 | The Judge asked,''Is this your own mother?'' |
12818 | The Judge said,''Did anybody tell you to say all this?" |
12818 | The Judge said,''Did this woman give you birth?'' |
12818 | The question naturally arises,--Are these women and girls free agents? |
12818 | Then were they likely to strike a blow at that slavery? |
12818 | Then why not license_ them_ in order to keep_ them_ under control? |
12818 | Then, will you continue to read from a worthier motive? |
12818 | To what other source indeed could they turn for a livelihood? |
12818 | Was he allowed precedence of chaplains, or how otherwise? |
12818 | Was he decorated on the abolition of his office, and allowed a good service pension? |
12818 | We asked,''How would a girl have to do in order to live in this house?'' |
12818 | We asked,''If a girl should say that she_ did not_ want to be a prostitute what would be done?'' |
12818 | We can not, without sin against humanity, ask the scoffer''s question,"Am I my sister''s keeper?" |
12818 | Were the informers punished for giving false evidence designed to work incalculable injury to five innocent women? |
12818 | What could they say? |
12818 | What did all the laws against man- stealing and slave- trading ever accomplish so long as the slave owner was allowed to keep his slave? |
12818 | What important event had to be discussed? |
12818 | What is to be thought of the character of such reports for the_ Public_, and such an_ Official Report_,"not_ intended_ to be_ published_"? |
12818 | What serious matter decided? |
12818 | What was the outcome of this dreadful arraignment of crimes against Chinese girls? |
12818 | What was then done? |
12818 | What was to be done? |
12818 | What, if the master is brutal, or the mistress jealous, becomes of the poor girl? |
12818 | Who can tell, moreover, what hopes or aspirations have been instilled into the minds of these girls? |
12818 | Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?" |
12818 | Why are not these societies broken up, root and branch? |
12818 | Why did she not turn him out of the house? |
12818 | Why should not the pursuer be turned back at the Golden Gate, rather than at the door of an exceptional home in San Francisco? |
12818 | Why should they shrink from it? |
12818 | Will it not be good to see something actually done and at once about that matter? |
12818 | Would the Mission try to save this poor girl? |
12818 | and was he expected to dine with the Bishop? |
12818 | or is he still in the service of''our religious and gracious Queen?''" |
12818 | what about the daughters, sisters and wives of working men, out, it may be, on an errand of mercy at night? |
17002 | Are such things right? |
17002 | Are these ecclesiastical bodies respectively Indian, Chinese, and African in their character? |
17002 | Are these the doctrines or policy of the Dutch Church? |
17002 | Are they, then, two- thirds of an integral part in America, and one- third of an integral part in England? |
17002 | Besides this, how shall we know which of them were converted through our instrumentality? |
17002 | But are these things so? |
17002 | But has it been more successful than the Mission at Amoy? |
17002 | But how and where has this test been applied, and found so satisfactory? |
17002 | But how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them? |
17002 | But the point is, how can our disapproval of_ the mongrel Classis_ mar the peace of the Amoy brethren?" |
17002 | But will the plan of Synod give us any greater security for these things? |
17002 | But will they do it? |
17002 | Can it be that a policy which requires_ such constitutional changes_ can be the old and proper policy of our Church? |
17002 | Can the Board try them? |
17002 | Can they be designed to prejudice the Church at home against the ecclesiastical body which has grown up at Amoy? |
17002 | Can this be secured? |
17002 | Can you account for such things except by the energy of the Spirit of God? |
17002 | Can you not do the same now? |
17002 | Cannot-- ought not-- the Church change her policy if wrong, or if a better can be adopted? |
17002 | Do not different Denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land? |
17002 | Do you wish a similar result in China? |
17002 | Does that mean that we had no qualms of conscience about''submitting to the decision that had been reached?'' |
17002 | General Synod? |
17002 | Has it been tested in China? |
17002 | Has it been tested in Japan? |
17002 | Hence the question has been put to us with all sincerity and gravity,"Is it a_ Classis_, or is it a_ Presbytery_?" |
17002 | How can they be secured? |
17002 | How should we designate such an act? |
17002 | I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice? |
17002 | I have been asked, Why not bring this subject before the Church through the columns of the_ Christian Intelligencer_? |
17002 | In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said, that we are looking for a chimera? |
17002 | Is Chinese human nature different from American? |
17002 | Is every thing then to be regarded as_ unsettled_ and_ changeable_ but this policy of the Church? |
17002 | Is it because they were baptized by our Missionaries? |
17002 | Is it because they were converted through the instrumentality of the preaching of our Missionaries? |
17002 | Is it necessary to defend such acts? |
17002 | Is it not plain that the Church at home will not thus have a moiety of the control over her Missionaries she now has? |
17002 | Is 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? |
17002 | Is it well that we should be disputing among ourselves concerning who shall have that credit which all belongs to Christ? |
17002 | Is the Classis, in evangelizing the heathen around, to operate through the Board, or the Board through the Classis? |
17002 | Is the Dutch Church a hierarchy? |
17002 | Is the Mission, then, to attend to all the evangelistic work, and the Classis to do nothing? |
17002 | Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing? |
17002 | Is this right? |
17002 | Is this the way to keep the Church at Amoy sound and pure? |
17002 | Is this, indeed, as the Committee assert, one of the"admitted principles"of our Church? |
17002 | It ought to be so, ought it not? |
17002 | May the Board of Missions, on mere report or suspicion, recall them without giving them a proper trial? |
17002 | May we not refer, without being charged with disrespect, to the Synod of Jerusalem as a proper example for our General Synod? |
17002 | May we not,_ must_ we not, correct them? |
17002 | No? |
17002 | On the plan proposed, what can the Church do with them? |
17002 | Or are there to be two distinct evangelistic policies carried on at Amoy, the one by the Mission, and the other by the Classis? |
17002 | Or is the Classis first to come over to the Synod, and so get to the Board in order to carry on the work around? |
17002 | Peter 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?" |
17002 | Possibly( not probably) the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one? |
17002 | The church grew, and in due time a Consistory was called for; must the work stop, because the Constitution had made no provision? |
17002 | The important question now is, what will be the result of this decision on the Church at Amoy? |
17002 | Then why form the connection? |
17002 | They might by the act of our Church, and_ a correlative act on their own part_, become an integral part of the Church in America? |
17002 | They would have been strictly correct if they had run as follows:"These Churches are_ all_( why say,''_ three at least_''?) |
17002 | We might have acted on such principles, but shall we be_ censured_ for not doing it? |
17002 | We must obey Synod, but may not the Church change or improve her decisions? |
17002 | What made them so? |
17002 | What then? |
17002 | What will be the difficulties when it becomes an_ Indian_ Classis? |
17002 | Who is the Lord of conscience? |
17002 | Why forget or ignore the fact that they are_ Evangelists_ and_ not Pastors_? |
17002 | Why is not the Dutch Church the principal Presbyterian body in this land? |
17002 | Why must we deprive the native Christians of the benefit of the collective wisdom of all the churches of like doctrine and order among them? |
17002 | Why not so? |
17002 | Why not? |
17002 | Why object to an ecclesiastical relationship exactly corresponding to, and required by, their office and position? |
17002 | Why strive to entail like evils on our Missionary churches? |
17002 | Why, then, such questions and suggestions? |
17002 | Will any one assert that the Classis thus formed at Amoy is not a Classis_ de facto_? |
17002 | Will it be said, there is no danger of such difficulty? |
17002 | Will it not seem to them that our Church is deficient in liberality, when they learn the decision of the last Synod? |
17002 | Would 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? |
17002 | and where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from? |
17002 | one of the"convictions in the mind of our Church, hardly separable in idea from its very existence?" |
17002 | one of the"old truths maintained through blood and flame?" |
17002 | or are they all_ essentially American_? |
17002 | or that they were in any sense under the control of those bodies? |
889 | Were you brought up in Europe and educated? |
889 | : What had Miss Carl been saying? |
889 | A little boy like you come to fight me? |
889 | After Miss Carl had left the Court, Her Majesty asked me one day:"Did she ever ask you much about the Boxer movement of 1900?" |
889 | After she had passed the camera she turned and asked my brother:"Did you take a picture?" |
889 | After that we return to the Sea Palace, and what can we do with this artist? |
889 | And even if this can be satisfactorily arranged, what about the Winter Palace in the Forbidden City? |
889 | And how do you know that these are my favorites and have placed them near me? |
889 | Another thing-- did you notice that Mrs. Conger handed a parcel to Miss Carl out in the courtyard when she came in?" |
889 | Are these good presents? |
889 | Are you all tired?" |
889 | Are you hungry? |
889 | Are you not dizzy turning round and round? |
889 | Are you standing on your head or feet?" |
889 | Before 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?" |
889 | Ca n''t they see that the veranda is wet?" |
889 | Can you guess what it is?" |
889 | Coming again?" |
889 | Continuing, she said:"By the way, how long will it take before this portrait is finished?" |
889 | Could you get Chinese food when you were abroad, and were you homesick? |
889 | Did any of the foreign ladies ever tell you that I am a fierce- looking old woman?" |
889 | Did n''t I tell you she was watching you when you pulled my sleeve? |
889 | Did you enjoy yourself while you were there, and do you wish to go back again? |
889 | Did you really study to acquire all those languages or was it drinking the water that gave them to you?" |
889 | Did you sleep at all?" |
889 | Do n''t you think that our own customs are much nicer?" |
889 | Do they consider me a man of character and do they think me clever? |
889 | Do you have to jump up and down with men? |
889 | Do you know how the Boxer rising began? |
889 | Do you remember what Her Majesty said to you? |
889 | Do you think they are beautiful?" |
889 | Do you think they, the foreigners, really like me? |
889 | Do you think you know enough Chinese to read this map?" |
889 | Does she speak Chinese?" |
889 | Evans?" |
889 | Has she found out yet that you are there simply to keep an eye upon her?" |
889 | He looked surprised and asked:"Can you take pictures, too? |
889 | Her Majesty exclaimed:"Why is it your head is upside down? |
889 | Her Majesty said to me:"Why ca n''t you win once?" |
889 | Her Majesty said:"I would like to see how you jump, can you show me a little?" |
889 | Her Majesty said:"Why must you change your clothes? |
889 | Her Majesty then enquired:"Do you think that this Artist lady will paint my picture to look black also? |
889 | Her Majesty turned to me and said:"Have you ever witnessed such an operation?" |
889 | Her Majesty walked along a little way, then laughed and said to me:"Do n''t I look more comfortable now? |
889 | How dare she suggest that you would say anything against Miss Carl? |
889 | How dare they give orders without receiving instructions from me first? |
889 | How did you learn? |
889 | How is Yu Keng?" |
889 | How is it?" |
889 | How would you like to look after her? |
889 | I can see that it is myself all right, but why is it that my face and hands are dark?" |
889 | I order you to bring all your things to this place, but what is your father going to do? |
889 | I told her that perhaps Mrs. Conger thought I wanted to advise her to refuse this request, but Her Majesty said:"What does that matter? |
889 | I 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? |
889 | I wonder who made that story up? |
889 | Is it bad luck?" |
889 | Is 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?" |
889 | Is that true?" |
889 | Is this dress only worn on certain occasions, or is it worn any time, even when gentlemen are present?" |
889 | Matters became worse day by day and Yung Lu was the only one against the Boxers, but what could one man accomplish against so many? |
889 | Now, where can we put her? |
889 | One day Her Majesty asked me:"What kind of medicine does a foreign doctor usually give in case of a fever? |
889 | Plancon say yesterday? |
889 | She again asked me what was my objection to getting married; was I afraid of having a mother- in- law, or what was it? |
889 | She again examined the portrait and said:"Why is it that one side of your face is painted white and the other black? |
889 | She asked me:"How do you like this kind of life?" |
889 | She asked:"Do you not think this food has more flavor than that prepared by the cooks?" |
889 | She 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? |
889 | She could not understand this at all, and exclaimed:"Why has this gone black? |
889 | She looked surprised and said:"Why did n''t you tell me that before? |
889 | She said that I had guessed right, and asked:"Do you know anything about this audience? |
889 | She 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? |
889 | She said:"How is it that these foreign ladies have such large feet? |
889 | She said:"If her brother has been in the Customs service for so long, how is it that she does n''t speak Chinese also?" |
889 | She said:"Oh, must you jump with music?" |
889 | She said:"What kind of a place is this wonderful Paris I have heard so much about? |
889 | She sat up on the bed, smiled, and said:"Are you glad to come back? |
889 | She smiled and asked:"Have you had a good rest? |
889 | Tell me, have you yet changed your opinion with regard to foreign customs? |
889 | Tell me, is not this so?" |
889 | That 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?" |
889 | Then I heard Her Majesty say to the Emperor,"Is that correct?" |
889 | Then she asked us:"Is it very tiring to hold half of your dress in your hand when you are walking? |
889 | Then she said:"Has anyone told you to put them away as soon as I am finished with them? |
889 | They asked:"Do you think you would like to live in this place, and how long do you intend to stay?" |
889 | This Li was indeed a bad and cruel man, and said:"Why not beat him to death?" |
889 | Was she really pleased? |
889 | What does the Emperor know? |
889 | What is dancing? |
889 | What is the general opinion amongst the foreigners regarding myself? |
889 | What is the matter with you?" |
889 | What is the use of changing everything? |
889 | When Her Majesty saw me, she asked me:"Where have you been?" |
889 | When will he be able to come to the Court? |
889 | When will it take place?" |
889 | While we were talking Her Majesty said that she felt chilly and asked:"Are you cold? |
889 | Who can the rest of the people be? |
889 | Who told you to come and wake me?" |
889 | Who told you?" |
889 | Why are your arms and neck all bare? |
889 | Why could n''t they leave China to deal with her own subjects and mind their own business a little more? |
889 | Why did n''t you show them to me before?" |
889 | Would n''t it be foolish to have a school at the Palace; besides, where am I going to get so many girls to study? |
889 | and on my brother answering that he had, Her Majesty said:"Why did n''t you tell me? |
889 | it 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?'' |
63233 | Are they? 63233 Are you quite sure that the Revolution will be permanently successful, that all China will become loyal to the Republican flag?" |
63233 | As regards business, do you think that Hankow will benefit in trade from the Revolution? |
63233 | But do n''t you think that that''s a funny sort of_ tao li_ for Chinese to kill Chinese? |
63233 | But do you think the Revolutionary party, as it is, strong enough to establish conditions which shall permanently make for peace and real progress? |
63233 | Do you think that Yuan Shih K''ai will be the first President? |
63233 | Have you any more to say? |
63233 | How often would you elect a President? 63233 Of course, you have been a Revolutionary for some years, have you not?" |
63233 | Well, will you be in favour of granting concessions to foreign syndicates for the development of mines and so on? |
63233 | What are you going to do now? |
63233 | What do you consider the main point upon which the two parties will have difficulty in seeing eye to eye about at the Peace Conference? |
63233 | Where to? |
63233 | Who are your political associates at this time? |
63233 | Who do you think you would ask to become the President-- Yuan Shih K''ai perhaps? |
63233 | Why, 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?" |
63233 | Ah, who knew? |
63233 | And have you ever seen a cargo of human freight not knowing what to do to reach the shore or any place of safety? |
63233 | And imagining, think you that you could describe? |
63233 | Another Dynasty, or a Republic? |
63233 | Are we not all alike, subjects of the great Manchu Dynasty, and shall we not acquit ourselves like men in the service of the State? |
63233 | But I ask again, Can_ you_ imagine all this? |
63233 | But is there no way to avert it? |
63233 | But shall we? |
63233 | But what at? |
63233 | But what is the sum of it all? |
63233 | But what was happening elsewhere? |
63233 | But{ 286} what is the genius of any reform, and what are the elements which ensure its success? |
63233 | Ca n''t you stop this dreadful carnage? |
63233 | Can you tell me briefly the specific reason you assign for the outbreak to have taken place so suddenly?" |
63233 | Coming over to me, with sincerity shining in his eyes, he exclaimed:"Come, you''re a journalist; ca n''t you help us? |
63233 | Could a Republic solve these offhand? |
63233 | Did they think that the great bulk of the common people of China actually understood what the issues were? |
63233 | Do you not think, General Li, that Christianity will become more popular among the people as the country is opened up more?" |
63233 | Fighting was still heavy, but every moment made a difference-- and who knew but that those blind boys were being burnt alive? |
63233 | Have you ever noticed how soon a Chinese can spoil or totally destroy things in general? |
63233 | Have you ever seen a boat drifting on a rapid river? |
63233 | Have you ever watched a Chinese junk, ungainly and ugly perhaps, just going helplessly with the tide? |
63233 | How can they think that? |
63233 | I 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?" |
63233 | If further war were to come? |
63233 | If he is true, why does he not withdraw his army at once and let there be peace? |
63233 | If the present Dynasty would be overthrown, what would replace it? |
63233 | If we had agreed to your terms, had you any means of compelling the Manchu Government to fulfil its promises? |
63233 | In the battle of brains( as well as of bullets) who would prove to be the stronger man? |
63233 | Is China, the oldest, and to all outward seeming one of the most effete, of Oriental monarchies, fit for so vast a change? |
63233 | Is it not a well- known fact that every anti- Christian outbreak invariably brings misery to the stupid innocent people of the district concerned? |
63233 | Is not this a lamentable thing? |
63233 | Is there no way to save the lives and property of millions of people? |
63233 | Now how can they bear fine sons? |
63233 | Or would{ 193} a republic have a better prospect? |
63233 | Should Yuan Shih K''ai concede the point at issue and assent to a Republic, what then? |
63233 | Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, till eight o''clock in the morning-- after then, what? |
63233 | THE PEACE CONFERENCE-- A MONARCHY OR A REPUBLIC? |
63233 | The letter continued:"Are you not the most famous and most able man among the Chinese? |
63233 | The next point is, Who is to get it, and how is it to be got? |
63233 | The students rule the people-- who rules the students? |
63233 | Then--"Where do you come from? |
63233 | There will be need for foreign loans now more than ever?" |
63233 | They have decided cases unjustly, and what not? |
63233 | Was it Yuan? |
63233 | Was there to be any more fighting? |
63233 | What can they do with power? |
63233 | What do you want? |
63233 | What else are the mutations of the Yin and the Yang? |
63233 | What man could convert Szechuan, Kiangsi, Anhui, Kiangsu, Kwangtung, Kwangsi, Yunnan, Kweichow, Shansi, and Shensi to republicanism? |
63233 | What was she going to do? |
63233 | Who wants to protest against this thing? |
63233 | Why not meet and set younger civilisations an example in civics? |
63233 | Yuan 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?'' |
37376 | All were killed-- none were left? |
37376 | And is there security here? |
37376 | And now-- where is the fighting now-- have all the devils been driven into the sea? |
37376 | And those shoes? |
37376 | And were you afraid? |
37376 | And what have you done in the way of work? |
37376 | And what is your purpose in journeying when all is unsettled? |
37376 | And you? |
37376 | But are you sure that you can keep it there for many days? |
37376 | But give me to eat? |
37376 | But the dead-- what of the dead? |
37376 | But the year of the test, may I not learn the year? |
37376 | But where-- in what direction? |
37376 | But would you not show fear? |
37376 | But your full name? |
37376 | Certain powers are given: otherwise how comes it that the sword draws no blood? |
37376 | Do you wish to fight? |
37376 | Has he been here long? |
37376 | How could we know? 37376 How has this happened?" |
37376 | How 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?" |
37376 | How is it? |
37376 | How many coins? 37376 In the city--""And what is your name?" |
37376 | Is not that what I declared? |
37376 | Is that supposition true, do you think? |
37376 | Just 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?'' |
37376 | Leave the boy alone-- go your way-- what have you to do with him? |
37376 | Tell me: was there not fighting here last month? 37376 That is all?" |
37376 | The city,he exclaimed in his rude, guttural voice,"would you see the city?" |
37376 | Then what will you do? |
37376 | Um,said the priest,"and how many such coins have you with you?" |
37376 | Up there was it that you saw it? |
37376 | Was that laughable or not? |
37376 | Well, is it good? |
37376 | Well, what do you say? |
37376 | Well-- what do you think of it? |
37376 | What can I do? |
37376 | What do you mean? |
37376 | What have you got to do with me and what have I to do with you? |
37376 | What is it-- what does the writing say? |
37376 | What is it? |
37376 | What is your Honourable intention? |
37376 | What is your name? |
37376 | What work? |
37376 | What would you? |
37376 | What''s a bad business? |
37376 | What''s the matter? |
37376 | What,cried the woman,"you would eat all our store for one small_ tiao_ of money?" |
37376 | Where are your relatives? |
37376 | Where do we go? |
37376 | Where do you come from? |
37376 | Where do you come from? |
37376 | Where is it? |
37376 | Where? |
37376 | Who gave you permission to go up there? 37376 Who is it that laughed?" |
37376 | Who is that? |
37376 | Who is your honourable Saint? |
37376 | Whose child is this? |
37376 | Whose money was it you carried? |
37376 | Whose money, I say? |
37376 | You 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?'' |
37376 | And should I give away from my small store when I may shortly be in need myself?" |
37376 | And the Sword Society, have we them also to expect?" |
37376 | And where is the money your mother gave you that I may feed you?" |
37376 | Are you ready?" |
37376 | As for renovation where shall I find funds? |
37376 | But almost at once she changed her mind and exclaimed irately:"What are you doing up there, ill- educated boy?" |
37376 | But is it not true that my gatekeeper was once a robber? |
37376 | But just then the girl asked:"Will you risk climbing up again?" |
37376 | But what do you do in the house?" |
37376 | But where was the foreign army-- where? |
37376 | But who was to do anything? |
37376 | But why did you wish to look over?" |
37376 | Do you understand?" |
37376 | Do you understand?" |
37376 | Do you understand?" |
37376 | Do you understand?" |
37376 | Had all been massacred? |
37376 | He tried again:"_ Yeh- yeh_( grandfather) can you not give me some comforting information about this neighbourhood?" |
37376 | He tried to calculate how many days had passed since he had left the capital-- was it six, seven or eight? |
37376 | How and when?" |
37376 | How could people travel when there were no conveyances for hire? |
37376 | How many times have you been warned that if you break orders you would be dismissed?" |
37376 | If I go who is there to insure safety?" |
37376 | If they did that to the men what would they not do to him? |
37376 | If you do n''t believe this what objection is there to your going and inquiring?'' |
37376 | In any case it is too late to turn back, for whither should we go?" |
37376 | In smuggling, the account of the smuggled goods is always carried like that--""But then it may be known to others?" |
37376 | It was so rumoured in our locality?" |
37376 | My grandfather is the steward-- has no one told you? |
37376 | Now 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?" |
37376 | Now the hands?" |
37376 | One of the guests at the table said,''Do you hear this bird? |
37376 | Still 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? |
37376 | The boy stammered:"My full name? |
37376 | The priest eyed him suspiciously for a long time and at last commenced this interrogatory:"How far have you journeyed?" |
37376 | The resentment within him had faded, for was this not his father? |
37376 | Then he asked:"And you, will you follow the example of the others?" |
37376 | There will be no soldiers about, for what would soldiers be doing in marshes? |
37376 | Two snakes-- what did two snakes mean? |
37376 | Well-- he had travelled far and braved many risks-- was that not enough? |
37376 | Were they barking at some person or merely baying an evening salute? |
37376 | What did it mean? |
37376 | What did this mean? |
37376 | What does he say?'' |
37376 | What is the nearest village?" |
37376 | What will be our lot then?" |
37376 | Where do you go?" |
37376 | Where have these eaters of foreign rice gone?" |
37376 | Where now were the watchers of crops? |
37376 | Whither should I flee even if there were the great danger since I am without parents?" |
37376 | Who will face danger willingly and not hesitate if by another way there is safety? |
37376 | Why had the others not done what they had undertaken to do? |
37376 | Why has it not come-- who is arresting its progress? |
37376 | Why indeed should any one mind? |
37376 | Why should n''t he run away, too? |
37376 | With trouble abroad how dare I venture out? |
37376 | Would they be allowed to proceed? |
19665 | Does that not sound familiar to thine ears? 19665 How have you eaten?" |
19665 | Thou hast seen her? |
19665 | 25 Is there anything so wonderful as being the mother of a son? |
19665 | 26 Dost thou know what love is? |
19665 | 4 My Dear Mother, Dost thou remember Liang Tai- tai, the daughter of the Princess Tseng, thine old friend of Pau- chau? |
19665 | And what is our conscience but the inherited sum of countless dead experiences with all things good and evil?" |
19665 | Are not our ancestors in very truth our souls? |
19665 | Art thou dissatisfied with me? |
19665 | Art thou not glad that thou art in a far- off country? |
19665 | Art thou not tired of that far- off country? |
19665 | But why? |
19665 | But, instead, what have they done? |
19665 | Can I ever forget that day when I came to my husband''s people? |
19665 | Canst send me Feng- yi, who understands our customs? |
19665 | Canst 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? |
19665 | Canst thou imagine it? |
19665 | Canst thou imagine thy Mother''s face if a God from a stranger family was in the niche above the stove? |
19665 | Canst thou send me Wong- si for a few months? |
19665 | Did I say I disliked these foreigners? |
19665 | Did 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? |
19665 | Did not thy son have to ask thy leave before he would decide that he could go with His Highness to the foreign lands? |
19665 | Do I love thee? |
19665 | Do I speak strongly, my Mother? |
19665 | Does it bring back thy son? |
19665 | Does it bring thee happiness, my lord? |
19665 | Does it make a quick little catch in thy breath? |
19665 | Does not that make thee think of thy childhood''s days? |
19665 | Does thy pulse quicken at the thought that soon thou wilt be a father? |
19665 | Dost thou remember Chen- peh, who is from my province and who married Ling Peh- yu about two moons after I came to thy household? |
19665 | Dost thou remember him? |
19665 | Dost thou remember him? |
19665 | Dost thou remember it? |
19665 | Dost thou remember the Kwan- lin Pagoda? |
19665 | Dost thou remember the servant Cho- to, who came to us soon after I became thy bride? |
19665 | Dost thou remember the story over which the Chinese in all the Empire laughed within their sleeves? |
19665 | Dost thou remember the wife of Wang, the secretary of the embassy at London? |
19665 | Dost thou remember when first thou raised my veil and looked long into my eyes? |
19665 | For centuries untold, men have been able to support their wives; why enter the market- places? |
19665 | Have I done wrong? |
19665 | He said, just like a child,"Why should I go? |
19665 | How can I describe them to thee so that thou wilt understand? |
19665 | How can she feel, how can she know, that thing of gilded wood and plaster? |
19665 | How 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? |
19665 | I do everything the same as if thou wert here, and in everything I say,"Would this please my master?" |
19665 | I often ask, when looking at my son, what is his gain? |
19665 | I said nothing-- what is the use? |
19665 | I said, quite calmly for me,"Thou meanest thou art choosing thy wife instead of allowing thy father and mother to choose her?" |
19665 | I said,"Do you want little eyes to fill with tears each time they see you coming across the courtyard? |
19665 | I said,"Is not four years of college in America enough? |
19665 | I said,"There are too many Gods-- why add a new one? |
19665 | I said,"Why, is she a friend of thy sister''s?" |
19665 | I 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?" |
19665 | I say,"I am too old; I have suffered in the binding, why suffer in the unbinding?" |
19665 | I say,"Thou dost not understand? |
19665 | I was thinking,"Will he find me beautiful?" |
19665 | I wonder what will be the outcome of it all; if after all this turmoil and bloodshed China will really become a different nation? |
19665 | If a woman bear not sons for her lord, what worth her life? |
19665 | If it is true, should education and science make its teaching less authentic? |
19665 | If 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? |
19665 | In 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? |
19665 | Is he not a God to them?" |
19665 | Is 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? |
19665 | Is it not ridiculous, little Mah- li needing a strong hand? |
19665 | Is not every action the work of the dead who dwell within us? |
19665 | Is there not work enough for our men in the province without going to that land of heat and sickness? |
19665 | Is this a long and tiresome letter, my Honourable Mother? |
19665 | My 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? |
19665 | My last letter was unhappy, and these little slips of paper must bring to thee joy, not sorrow, else why the written word? |
19665 | My wife, my sons, my home, my all, were within the walls; why go outside?" |
19665 | Now would this tortoise rather be dead and have its remains venerated, or be alive and wagging its tail in the mud?" |
19665 | Of what use is it in the end? |
19665 | Of what worth that clothing lying in that box of camphor- wood? |
19665 | Oh, Mother mine, why didst thou send to me that priest of thine? |
19665 | Oh, dear one, dost thou understand that, to a woman who loves, her husband is more than Heaven, more than herself? |
19665 | Shall we insist that they return to the old regime and learn nothing but embroidery? |
19665 | She gave her sleep; and who can blame her? |
19665 | She 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?" |
19665 | Should we think of that thing which is in each of us and which we call''I''should it be''I''or''they''? |
19665 | Sometimes I think,"If something should happen; if the Gods should be jealous of my happiness and I should not see thee more?" |
19665 | Their courtesy, what is it? |
19665 | Then he thought,"If there is ater here for me, why not for all this great city of many tens of thousands?" |
19665 | What can we do? |
19665 | What do I do? |
19665 | What is honour, what is this country, this fighting, quarrelling, maddened country, what is our fame, in comparison to his dear life? |
19665 | What is it that has given these men this marvellous adaptability to all conditions, however hard they may seem? |
19665 | What is life? |
19665 | What is our pride or shame but the pride or shame of the unseen in that which they have made? |
19665 | What is progress? |
19665 | What is the true answer; where may we find it? |
19665 | What is there to compare in binding power to the family customs of our people? |
19665 | What will become of the filial piety that has been the backbone of our country? |
19665 | What will they do to gain their food in this great country which is already full to over- flowing? |
19665 | When wilt thou come to me, thou keeper of my heart? |
19665 | Whence do I come; where do I go? |
19665 | Where is there one so autocratic in her own home as a Chinese mother? |
19665 | Which is the Way, which path to God is broad enough for all the world? |
19665 | Which is the best? |
19665 | Whose holy book holds the key that will open wide the door? |
19665 | Why 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? |
19665 | Why 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? |
19665 | Why could they not have left thy son for thee to see? |
19665 | Why four years''separation to prepare to go to that college? |
19665 | Why then not set our hearts at rest, why wear the soul with anxious thoughts? |
19665 | Why, Mother- mine, didst thou send the old priest from the temple down here? |
19665 | Why, then, should our young people be ashamed of their country''s learning? |
19665 | You ask me how I pass my days? |
609 | Ca 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? |
609 | American versus Chinese Civilization( Continued) The question has often been asked"Which are the civilized nations?" |
609 | Are not many women practically governed by their husbands, whose word is their law? |
609 | Are there not many in their midst who are friendless and penurious? |
609 | Are they happier than others? |
609 | Are they indeed so"highly civilized"as to be in all respects worthy paragons to the so- called semi- civilized nations? |
609 | Are they not swayed in politics by their"bosses", and do not many of them act and vote as their bosses dictate? |
609 | But are they perfectly free, and are they really independent? |
609 | But do Chinese really make good husbands? |
609 | But what have been the advantages to Great Britain? |
609 | But when a serious play ending tragically is put on the boards is that amusement? |
609 | But who wishes to attack her? |
609 | But why not consent to allow the cardinal principles of morality to be taught in every school? |
609 | Does not this indicate that the intellect of the American woman is equal, if not superior, to that of the men? |
609 | Does the superior cunning and intellect of man warrant his taking life for fun? |
609 | During the Russo- Japan War was it not the yellow race that displayed the superior intelligence? |
609 | First, as regards the weather, does woman''s dress protect her from the cold? |
609 | Have they succeeded in prolonging their lives? |
609 | Have we got a chance? |
609 | How does this compare with the states in America? |
609 | I should like to know how many persons pay even a little attention to this important subject of pure air breathing? |
609 | If so, why? |
609 | If this high- toned doctrine continues where will it end? |
609 | In addition to the suggestions I have made, may I be pardoned another? |
609 | In domestic circles are not many husbands hen- pecked by their wives, because they, and not the men, rule the roost? |
609 | In his home and his office has he not enough to engage his serious attention, and to frequently worry his mind? |
609 | In society are they not bound by conventionalities and, dare they infringe the strict rules laid down by the society leaders? |
609 | In the matter of dress also are they not slaves, abjectly following new- fangled fashions imported from Paris? |
609 | Is anything more important than that which concerns their health and comfort? |
609 | Is it advisable to adopt a similar system in the United States? |
609 | Is it for the purpose of emigration? |
609 | Is it for the purpose of trade? |
609 | Is it not amusement? |
609 | Is it not good for both to learn the same subjects? |
609 | Is it to be wondered at that American servants have different manners from their brethren in other countries? |
609 | Is it worth his while to dress and spend an evening watching a performance which, however skilfully played, will make him no happier than before? |
609 | Is not the slogan of nationality, to a great extent, the root of the evil? |
609 | Let me ask again what is the object of nations seeking new possessions? |
609 | Now Hongkong is a self- supporting colony, but what benefits do the British enjoy there that do not belong to everyone else? |
609 | Now does the dress of Americans meet these requirements? |
609 | Now what is Civilization? |
609 | Ought a free and independent people to live after this fashion? |
609 | Should such people be denied admission into Australia, Canada, or the United States? |
609 | Should we encourage such artful devices? |
609 | Sir, strive to keep the world in its original simplicity-- why so much fuss? |
609 | That which is good for a boy to learn is it not equally advisable for a girl to know, and vice versa? |
609 | The Importance of Names"What''s in a name? |
609 | The name of Emperor may be distasteful to some, but may not a new meaning be given to it? |
609 | The theater, as I have already said, was in several countries religious in its origin; why not use it to elevate people indirectly? |
609 | Then I said to the young lady,"Will you accept his offer?" |
609 | This science is undoubtedly of the first importance, but what advantage is good birth if afterward life is poisoned with foul air? |
609 | To the query,"What about the nations in the East?" |
609 | Was I to be blamed for wondering if the elevator would be my coffin? |
609 | What about the sufferings of pugilists who take part in the prize- fights, in which so many thousands in the United States delight? |
609 | What benefit does he receive from witnessing a tragedy? |
609 | What effect will this have on mankind? |
609 | What pleasure can there be in being tricked? |
609 | What right have we to wantonly kill these harmless and defenseless birds flying in the air? |
609 | What, I ask, is the advantage of adding to national territory? |
609 | What, however, we may ask, is the object of the theater? |
609 | When he said this did he think of the way the women of his country dress when they go to a ball? |
609 | When such a state of things exists can international peace be perpetuated? |
609 | When the matter is further pressed and it is asked,"What about China?" |
609 | When you purchase a knife do n''t you expect to use it? |
609 | Whence but from himself? |
609 | Why are the world''s armaments constantly increasing? |
609 | Why do we dress at all? |
609 | Why not convene an international congress to decide as to the best form of dress for men and women? |
609 | Why not go a step further and preach through a play? |
609 | Why should not hostesses make as much effort to stimulate the minds of their guests as they do to gratify their palates? |
609 | Why should such matters invariably be remanded to formal conferences and set speeches? |
609 | Why should the world assume a depressing monotony of costume? |
609 | Why should we allow nature''s diversities to disappear? |
609 | Why then forbid cockfighting or bull- baiting? |
609 | Will not occasion be found to test those war implements and to utilize the naval and military men? |
609 | Will not such a policy create mutual sympathy between the sexes? |
609 | Will some one inform me why so many varieties of wines are always served on American tables, and why the sparkling champagne is never avoidable? |
609 | Will the great American nation still refuse to consent to this? |
609 | Will the twentieth century witness the collapse of our present civilization? |
609 | With their genius for invention why have they not discovered means to safeguard themselves so that they can live longer on this earth? |
609 | Would not the exclusionists in those countries profit by association with them? |
609 | what differs more than man from man, And whence that difference? |
15125 | But can you govern the empire on horseback? 15125 Has he been called to account?" |
15125 | Is 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? |
15125 | Suppose,said one of his students,"that Shun''s father had killed a man, would Shun, being king, have allowed him to be condemned?" |
15125 | We beg your pardon, we know enough about Asia; but what of America-- does polygamy flourish there? |
15125 | What are his merits? |
15125 | What is to hinder us from doing what those islanders have done? |
15125 | A helpless fugitive, how could she conceive that fortune held in reserve for her brighter days than she had ever experienced? |
15125 | And is she not at this moment taking the medicine of Japan? |
15125 | Are not the same to be seen all the way from Afghanistan to Dahomey? |
15125 | Are the Chinese hostile to these branches of missionary work? |
15125 | But do we not know how it has been fostered in China? |
15125 | But how about the preaching missionary and the teaching missionary? |
15125 | But is there not a deplorable difference between the conditions under which it is used in the two countries? |
15125 | But what do they think now, when they see cabinets and chambers of commerce compelled to reckon with the British of the North Pacific? |
15125 | But what of the feeling towards religious missions? |
15125 | But where would he look for the third? |
15125 | But why extend the gruesome list? |
15125 | But will they not see it when the trolleys run? |
15125 | Chinese 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? |
15125 | Could Hebrew or Arab hospitality surpass it? |
15125 | Could he have been less humane in the treatment of his new subjects? |
15125 | Did not China after a trial of European methods also relapse during the Boxer craze into her old superstitions? |
15125 | Did she hate the foreigner for driving her away, or did she thank him for her repeated restoration? |
15125 | Do not these specimens show a laudable attempt to simulate a free press? |
15125 | Do our Chinese friends wish to be looked on as Quakers, or do they desire to fraternise freely with the people of the great West? |
15125 | Do they not announce more clearly than the batteries which command the waterway the coming of a new China? |
15125 | Does not China do the same when she mistakes hostility to foreigners for patriotism? |
15125 | Had they not made war on China ten years before because they could brook no rival in the peninsula? |
15125 | Has not Carlyle shown in his"Sartor Resartus"how the Philosophy of Clothes is fundamental to the history of civilisation? |
15125 | Has not hatred of the foreigner been mistaken for patriotism, and been secretly instigated as a safeguard against foreign aggression? |
15125 | Have we not seen her in that splendid portrait executed by Miss Carl, and exhibited at St. Louis? |
15125 | He expired on the island of Shang- chuen or St. John''s, exclaiming"O rock, rock, when wilt thou open?" |
15125 | How 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? |
15125 | How could they tolerate the intrusion of Russia? |
15125 | How does her period of probation compare with that of her neighbour? |
15125 | If she makes things easy for China this time, will it not be because the Republic is engaged in mortal combat with the Roman Church? |
15125 | If so, might it not be possible to wrest the sceptre from their feeble grasp, and emancipate the Chinese race? |
15125 | If stocks pay well, why should not the Government hold them? |
15125 | If we of the Yellow Race only stand together, What foreign power will dare to molest us? |
15125 | If we suspect the artist of flattery, have we not a gallery of photographs, in which she shows herself in many a majestic pose? |
15125 | In China does not the coming of a parliament involve the previous issue of a Magna Charta? |
15125 | In view of these facts, what wonder that Chinese newspapers are discussing the question of a national religion? |
15125 | Is flattery possible to a sunbeam? |
15125 | Is it merely tributary or is it a portion of the Chinese Empire? |
15125 | Is it not because greatness in these higher realms requires patient thought for due appreciation? |
15125 | Is it not probable that the same view of the situation flashed on the minds of all three simultaneously? |
15125 | Is it not probable that their representations, backed by the viceroy, moved the hand that sways the sceptre? |
15125 | Is it not probable that they were occupied in making good their claim to the nine provinces emblazoned on the tripods? |
15125 | Is it not therefore a fair question whether the maintenance of these old restrictions is desirable or politic? |
15125 | Is it not to be regretted that the Chinese are excluded from the Philippines? |
15125 | Is not China in danger of being left to the fate which her friends have sought to avert? |

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

15125 | What did we think when she tore up the track and dumped it in the river? |
15125 | What feeling of unity can exist so long as the people are divided by a babel of dialects? |
15125 | What influence can we presume on when our commodities are shut out, not by legislative action but as a result of popular resentment? |
15125 | What may we not expect when the women learn to read, and when education becomes more general among men? |
15125 | What of the other 14,000? |
15125 | What shall be said of the successors of Cheng- wang? |
15125 | What use had they for books on that subject, so long as they held no intercourse on equal terms with foreign countries? |
15125 | What was the case of those singing girls under the age of fifteen, of whom you spoke last week, but a form of slavery? |
15125 | What was the real object of that strange expedition? |
15125 | What, for example, was the lady from Szechuen doing but carrying on a customary[ Page 299] form of the slave traffic? |
15125 | When these changes come, what will be left of this queer antique? |
15125 | Where could it be, if not in that very channel? |
15125 | Where is there another conqueror in the annals of the world who has such solid claims to everlasting renown? |
15125 | Where there was no tribute and no command, why send them? |
15125 | Who says the Chinese are not original? |
15125 | Who will find us a man to take them in hand and keep them in place?" |
15125 | Why did they not enact a law that no man should surpass the longevity of his father? |
15125 | Why sought this mountain den? |
15125 | Why? |
15125 | Will not the new arts and sciences of the West convince them that their Sage was not omniscient? |
15125 | Will 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? |
15125 | Would not the future of that archipelago be brighter if the shiftless native were replaced by the thrifty Chinaman? |
43549 | And how long will he remain there? |
43549 | Are you all Ladakis? |
43549 | But 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? |
43549 | But who are you? |
43549 | But 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?" |
43549 | Did you not promise to give me the black horse in exchange for butter? 43549 Does the Sahib remember me?" |
43549 | Does the road cross over high passes? |
43549 | Has he relations? |
43549 | Has that ever happened? |
43549 | How long has he lived in the darkness? |
43549 | How old is he? |
43549 | Is it not beautiful? |
43549 | Is it not just as wrong to kill sheep and eat their flesh? |
43549 | Is not our country hard and terrible to live in? 43549 May he never come out again into the daylight before his death?" |
43549 | Tell 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?" |
43549 | What are the names of the others? |
43549 | What colour is he? |
43549 | What does Lobsang think? |
43549 | What horse is that? |
43549 | What if we have to stay here till the lake freezes over, four months hence? |
43549 | What is it? |
43549 | What is the name of the lama who is now walled up in this cell? |
43549 | What is to be done? 43549 What is to be done?" |
43549 | What man is that? |
43549 | What would you do if I quietly disappeared one night? 43549 Whence have you come?" |
43549 | Where does the lake lie? |
43549 | Where has he come from? |
43549 | Where have you come from? |
43549 | Which of you is my cook? |
43549 | Who is the caravan bashi? |
43549 | Why do you weep? |
43549 | You are then eleven men altogether-- three Lamaists and eight Mohammedans? |
43549 | You never know, then, how he is? |
43549 | You will perhaps allow two of my own servants to carry a letter from me to Gyangtse? |
43549 | And he thinks:"What is a short earthly life in darkness compared to the glorious light of eternity?" |
43549 | And if we tried to slink through to Rudok and thence make eastwards? |
43549 | And then? |
43549 | Are you mad? |
43549 | Are you well armed?" |
43549 | But does he clearly conceive what this means? |
43549 | But how much water flows to the lake by underground passages which we could not measure? |
43549 | But how would that be possible? |
43549 | But tell me why you have come back again? |
43549 | But would it be prudent to advance further into Nepal? |
43549 | Can not he get help?" |
43549 | Did I not tell you expressly to take barley for 2½ months?" |
43549 | Did it actually exist? |
43549 | Did you not obey my orders? |
43549 | Does he not hear what we are saying, or, at least, that some one is talking outside his den?" |
43549 | Every time I write in my diary"the first,"I wonder what the new month holds in its lap-- new discoveries or new disappointments? |
43549 | Had I not already brought about Hlaje Tsering''s fall, and would I cause the new Governor of Naktsang to meet the same fate? |
43549 | Had he gone quite off his head? |
43549 | Had he got lost, or was he a scout sent out to see if the ice were broken up on the lakes to the north? |
43549 | Had you not enough last year, when you were obliged to leave the country by the road to Ladak? |
43549 | Had, perchance, the horses strayed away? |
43549 | Has the Gossul monastery been changed by some whim of the gods into an air- ship which is bearing us away to another planet? |
43549 | Have you brought me a message?" |
43549 | He had 2500 rupees with him; had he decamped, or had he been robbed? |
43549 | He said himself that he would crawl to Shyok, but how was he to get across the river? |
43549 | Here you have me again; what do you mean to do with me?" |
43549 | How far would this snow extend? |
43549 | How has it been produced, since the lake is quite peaceful? |
43549 | How have you found the way? |
43549 | How is that possible, and why are you come?" |
43549 | How seldom are all these conditions fulfilled? |
43549 | How was this to be done? |
43549 | How would it all end? |
43549 | I clapped him on the shoulder, saying,"Do you know me again, Pemba Tsering?" |
43549 | I could not avoid Rawling''s and Deasy''s country, but what did it matter? |
43549 | In 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? |
43549 | In a corner surely waves a Swedish flag? |
43549 | Is June to be reckoned among the winter months? |
43549 | Is not the Bombo Chimbo''s country( India) better?" |
43549 | It 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? |
43549 | Late at night two horsemen rode past our camp; the watchmen called out"Who''s there?" |
43549 | May I hear which way you really wish to take?" |
43549 | Mundang is marked on the English maps of Nepal, but who was Lo Gapu,"the King of the Southern Land"? |
43549 | Nothing could be done with the leather waistcoat and the fur coat; they would not be dry by night, but what did it matter? |
43549 | On the morning of May 27 the weather was really fine after a minimum of only 23 °; had the spring come at last? |
43549 | Or what did I mean? |
43549 | Shall we leave it on the right or left? |
43549 | Shall we turn back? |
43549 | Should I never cross the Trans- Himalaya again? |
43549 | Should we be able to cross it with our little caravan? |
43549 | Should we be successful, and be able to complete this exceedingly important meridional traverse through an unknown part of Tibet? |
43549 | Should we succeed, or should we be forced back when we had traversed only half the distance across the blank space? |
43549 | Should we try to make a road along which the animals could be helped over the blocks by the united strength of the men? |
43549 | Should we venture in our little canvas boat on the lake, exposed to all the winds? |
43549 | Should we venture to creep along the shore southwards so as to reach a point opposite the camp? |
43549 | Stags''horns are set up on a_ mani_ heap; where do they come from? |
43549 | Then the thought shot through my mind:"Is the boat moored securely? |
43549 | Was it now the turn of the men after half the caravan had been lost? |
43549 | Was it one of the men who had been drowned in the winter? |
43549 | We are a little beyond the promontory; would it not be better to turn back? |
43549 | We are certainly past the early days of August, but is it possible that autumn is already beginning? |
43549 | We see the boat filling slowly-- shall we reach the bank before it sinks? |
43549 | Were the dogs keeping together, or were they seeking us along different paths, having lost each other? |
43549 | Were they afraid of us or were they suspicious? |
43549 | Were they spies? |
43549 | Were we hurt at all, and would we come up into the monastery and spend the night in their warm rooms? |
43549 | What could the Tibetans be thinking of? |
43549 | What did they want? |
43549 | What do you mean to do then?" |
43549 | What has become of the earth, if all is sky and clouds? |
43549 | What if I went down into Nepal and came back again into Tibet by unguarded roads? |
43549 | What if we went through the Chang- chenmo valley to Pamzal and the Lanak- la? |
43549 | What in the world did this mean? |
43549 | What is the use of looking forward to spring when the days are darker as time goes on? |
43549 | What is your occupation?" |
43549 | What news?" |
43549 | What shall we do then? |
43549 | What would she do when night came down with its dreadful darkness and its prowling wolves? |
43549 | What would they say, what would they do, if we were drowned like cats in this raging lake? |
43549 | Where are the others?" |
43549 | Where was she? |
43549 | Which was more expedient-- to travel north- east or south- west? |
43549 | Who was he? |
43549 | Why do you ask the names of the valleys?" |
43549 | Why had we not started an hour earlier, instead of watching the religious ablutions of the Hindus? |
43549 | Why have you come back again?" |
43549 | Why have you travelled in winter? |
43549 | Why is the beautiful view concealed and the daylight excluded? |
43549 | Why then do you travel by this dangerous side route? |
43549 | Will you agree to accompany me to Kamba Tsenam''s tent, four days''journey from here? |
43549 | Will 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? |
43549 | Would he keep his word? |
43549 | what was she doing at this moment? |
14345 | What is my crime? |
14345 | Which 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?" |
14345 | Do they know that the Great President has, on many occasions, sworn fidelity before high Heaven and the noon- day sun? |
14345 | Do you not know that you, as citizens of the Republic, must in duty bound observe the Constitution and obey the laws and mandates? |
14345 | Do you not realize that the State is a thing of great importance and should not be disturbed carelessly? |
14345 | Do you still doubt my words? |
14345 | Do you think this provision is not sufficient to avert the terrible times which you have just described? |
14345 | Do you understand? |
14345 | Do you wish to select a person other than the Great President? |
14345 | Does not the last ray of hope for China depend on this? |
14345 | For who can replace the Great President in coping with our numerous difficulties? |
14345 | Have we not seen the example of Korea? |
14345 | How can we stand as a nation if such a state of affairs is allowed to continue? |
14345 | How in such circumstances was it possible to keep alive absolutism? |
14345 | How then can one rule the people when he"eats"his own words and tears his own oath? |
14345 | If not, then are we going to ask the President to form a responsible cabinet under a figurehead monarch? |
14345 | If our industries are not developed, how can we expect to be strong? |
14345 | If so, then what do you take the President for? |
14345 | If the South rises in arms against this measure, what explanation can the Central Government give? |
14345 | If the branches are all withered, how can the trunk continue to grow? |
14345 | In plain words, is the person in our mind the President? |
14345 | In such circumstances, how can you devise a general policy for the country which will last for a hundred years? |
14345 | In these circumstances what did he do? |
14345 | In these circumstances, how can one hope to send forth his orders to the country in the future, and expect them to be obeyed? |
14345 | Is fiction mixed with fact-- are these only"trial"drafts, or are they real documents signed, sealed, and delivered? |
14345 | Is it a misfortune for my words or a misfortune to the Country? |
14345 | Is it because no one except a foreign doctor can discover such facts? |
14345 | Is it not the greatest misfortune to set up an example that can not be handed down as a precedent? |
14345 | Is it not then a vital necessity for Japan to solve at this very moment the Chinese Question? |
14345 | Is it too much to dream of such a consummation? |
14345 | Is not Persia a monarchy? |
14345 | Is not Russia a monarchy? |
14345 | Is not Turkey a monarchy? |
14345 | Is not this highly advisable? |
14345 | Is such a course a charitable way of doing things? |
14345 | Is that true? |
14345 | Is the man you have in mind the present President? |
14345 | Is this not a great injustice to native merchants? |
14345 | Is this not a service to humanity and the true spirit of civilization? |
14345 | Let 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? |
14345 | Mencius says,"Am I argumentative? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: But why is it that there is no hope of China ever becoming rich? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: Can I know something about the contents of our future constitution in advance? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: How is it that should China desire wealth and strength she must first adopt the constitutional form of government? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: I do not understand why it is that a monarchy should be established before the constitutional form of government can be formed? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: What do you mean by honesty? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: What do you mean by the proper method of procedure? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: Why is it that there is no hope of China''s becoming strong? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: Why is it that you say there is no hope for China having a Constitutional Government? |
14345 | Mr. Ko: Why so? |
14345 | Now has that anything to do with the change or not of the form of State? |
14345 | Now what have these things to do with a change in the form of the States? |
14345 | Otherwise tell me what you have got to say? |
14345 | Pray, how large is Germany''s share of the Boxer indemnity? |
14345 | Shall we then make the present President a monarch? |
14345 | Should they advocate the continuance of the Republic or suggest a change for a monarchy? |
14345 | The proverb says,"If now, why not then?" |
14345 | The question I would ask in plain words is, who is the person you have in your mind as the future Emperor? |
14345 | The reason? |
14345 | Then 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? |
14345 | They have asked the question:--"Who has invited the disaster, and brought upon us such great disgrace?" |
14345 | To whom shall I speak?" |
14345 | Was there, then, evasion, on the part of China? |
14345 | What attitude then should those who have the good of the nation at heart, take under the present circumstances? |
14345 | What do the people of our day mean by advising and urging the President to ascend the throne? |
14345 | What has no parents?" |
14345 | What is that thought-- whither does it lead? |
14345 | What is the remedy? |
14345 | What obligations had I to the then Imperial House? |
14345 | What policy has been followed to solve the Chinese Question? |
14345 | What preparations are being made to meet the combined pressure of the Allies upon China? |
14345 | What proper means shall we employ to maintain our influence and extend our interests within this ring of rivalry and competition? |
14345 | What shall we do with the President if we find another man? |
14345 | What then could have prompted me to aspire to the Throne? |
14345 | What was the foreign response-- the official response? |
14345 | What was this Central Government? |
14345 | Where were you then, advocates of monarchy? |
14345 | Wherein then is there need of doubt or fear? |
14345 | Who dares to contend for the Throne? |
14345 | Who then can claim the right to drag our Great President into unrighteousness for the sake of vanity and vainglory? |
14345 | Who 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? |
14345 | Why do they not do so? |
14345 | Why is it that the attempt to introduce constitutional government during the last years of the Manchu Dynasty proved a failure? |
14345 | Why should we not think out and lay down a plan beforehand? |
14345 | Why should we wait for the spontaneous uprising of the revolutionists and malcontents? |
14345 | Why 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? |
14345 | Why then should I blame others? |
14345 | Why then should we talk about exchange of privileges and rights? |
14345 | Why then should we traffic for these things at the risk of grave dangers to the nation? |
14345 | Why then such unrest? |
14345 | Why? |
14345 | Will it be wise to place so valuable a personage in so idle a position at a time when the situation is so extremely critical? |
14345 | Will not this then be indeed a bonâ fide proof of our friendly relations? |
14345 | Would the South remain silent respecting this outrageous measure? |
14345 | or any other person? |
34199 | About how many inhabitants has Thaï-ouan, the capital? |
34199 | And I suppose there is ever so much traffic on it? |
34199 | And are there many Christians in China now? |
34199 | And are there many holidays at Chinese schools? |
34199 | And ca n''t they be cured, father? |
34199 | And did it keep out the Tartars? |
34199 | And did they not let him off,Leonard asked,"as the son had suffered so much for him?" |
34199 | And do children often worship at their parents''tombs? |
34199 | And do people really sell their children? |
34199 | And he is a living man? |
34199 | And he suffered all that? |
34199 | And how long were they in Formosa? |
34199 | And in this case was the real culprit ever found out? |
34199 | And is anything more done for the dead after this except worship being paid to them? |
34199 | And that of the other convert? |
34199 | And what do those characters mean? |
34199 | And what does''Yantze- kiang''mean? |
34199 | And what is the height of the wall, father? |
34199 | And what sort of dress does he wear? |
34199 | And what''s done on his first birthday? |
34199 | And, father,he said later,"I wonder why so many of them wear turbans? |
34199 | Are all Chinese parents so silly as to have their little girls''feet bandaged? |
34199 | Are the priests very good men? |
34199 | Are these people rich or poor? |
34199 | But how are these letters made to''arrive?'' |
34199 | But what is the use of preparing feasts for the dead? |
34199 | But what shall give us comfort? 34199 But who, then, is the great Lama? |
34199 | Can I forget thy cares, from helpless years Thy tenderness for me? |
34199 | Can a mandarin be punished when he does wrong? |
34199 | Che- fan,or"Have you eaten your rice?" |
34199 | Did grandfather make many converts? |
34199 | Did you ever go into a boy''s school, father? |
34199 | Did you ever see them at drill, father? |
34199 | Did you ever want to be a sailor then? 34199 Do Chinese girls learn lessons? |
34199 | Do Taouists and Buddhists believe in, and read, the writings of Confucius? |
34199 | Do n''t you? |
34199 | Do you mind waiting one minute, father, just to tell me a thing I have forgotten, and you told me once? |
34199 | Do you think, Sybil, that the heathen Chinese could teach the Christian English anything? |
34199 | Does anything else happen on the grand shaving day? |
34199 | Does the Emperor''s eldest son always reign? |
34199 | Father, do you remember well when you were just eleven? |
34199 | Father, why do Chinamen wear pig- tails? |
34199 | Father, will you tell us something now about the children? |
34199 | Have you a picture of it, father? |
34199 | How I shall think of you, father, and the Hong- Kong Mission on Intercession Day, when it comes round, sha n''t I? |
34199 | How could he have done so? |
34199 | How far did you get? |
34199 | How far is Tientsin from the capital? |
34199 | How long is it now since the Dutch were driven away? |
34199 | How long was he left there? |
34199 | How many gods have the Chinese? |
34199 | I suppose children give their parents beautiful presents on their birthdays? |
34199 | I suppose tea is n''t ever sent about in wheel- barrows? |
34199 | I suppose you know, Sybil, that there are some wild beasts in Formosa? |
34199 | I thought the Chinese were clever people,Sybil said;"if so, how can they believe in so many gods?" |
34199 | I wonder if you and Sybil can tell me what grows principally in Formosa? |
34199 | I wonder what Swatow is like? |
34199 | I wonder what made people first think of doing this? |
34199 | I wonder whether I shall be able to do anything to help him there? |
34199 | Is 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?" |
34199 | Is n''t Tientsin noted for something? |
34199 | It must be an important one, I should think, as it carries things, does n''t it, from the sea- coast to near to Peking? |
34199 | Now, father, do n''t you think it''s high time you began to tell us about old Peking? |
34199 | Now, father, will you please describe a Chinese house to us? |
34199 | Oh yes you do, Sybil,was the answer;"you like your father to be a missionary very much, you know, do you not?" |
34199 | People have not known very long, have they, that the island of Formosa is important? |
34199 | Shall you have one? |
34199 | So they can not believe at all in the immortality of the soul? |
34199 | Supposing I do not know anything about it, though; what are we to do then? 34199 That was a beautiful name, was n''t it? |
34199 | The Chinese part of the island, I suppose, belongs to Fukien? |
34199 | The east coast has n''t a harbour at all, has it? |
34199 | Then a priest is not obliged to go to the funeral? |
34199 | Then what do you want to be now? |
34199 | Then, when children do wrong, their parents and schoolmasters are blamed? |
34199 | They can not think that the dead really eat the food? |
34199 | To what part of China are we going, father? |
34199 | WILL you please tell us to- day, father, something about the religion of the Chinese? 34199 Well, what should you like to hear now?" |
34199 | What are mandarins, please, father? |
34199 | What are the most peculiar of them like? |
34199 | What are you here for? |
34199 | What does casting his horoscope mean? |
34199 | What does that mean? |
34199 | What does the ancestral tablet mean? |
34199 | What does the word China mean? |
34199 | What games do they like? |
34199 | What is opium? |
34199 | What is scented Caper Tea? |
34199 | What is the name of your beautiful dwelling? |
34199 | What made the Chinese call Formosa Tai- wan? |
34199 | What sort of flags do Chinese boats have, father? 34199 What was his name?" |
34199 | What would happen,Sybil asked,"if a child were to do anything very dreadful to a parent in China?" |
34199 | When was the Hong- Kong mission begun? |
34199 | Where_ did_ they all come from? |
34199 | Who is that Jui- Lin of whom you have a picture? 34199 Who was the founder of Buddhism?" |
34199 | Whoever thought,Sybil said one day on board,"that we should actually be on the Yellow Sea ourselves? |
34199 | Why did that policeman come after you to- day, father, and take down the name of the boat that we got into? |
34199 | Why did you say that opium- smoking was so dreadful? |
34199 | Why do Chinese ladies have small feet? |
34199 | Why do people not kill their boys too? |
34199 | Why do so many Chinese rivers end in ho and kiang? |
34199 | Why does all that happen? |
34199 | Why is your house called a yamen? |
34199 | Will you please go on about the religion now, father? |
34199 | Will you take me to see a school in China? |
34199 | You 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? |
34199 | A missionary''s children must not shrink from fulfilling, must not fail to fulfil, the mission on which they are sent, must they?" |
34199 | And do you know what river it is on?" |
34199 | And what does this teach us, children?" |
34199 | Another time she meant to ask Sybil if she were not very rich, so she said,"You can muchee money?" |
34199 | Are n''t you glad to go to China?" |
34199 | Before E- Chung heard that Sybil had a brother, she said to her,"You one piecee chilo?" |
34199 | But I wonder if Leonard knows what''shan''means?" |
34199 | But what are these, when we think that this vast empire alone contains 400,000,000 people, one- third of the human race?" |
34199 | Does 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? |
34199 | Had she been grown up, this question would probably have been,"What is your venerable age?" |
34199 | How can we?" |
34199 | How many native communicants are there in Hong- Kong?" |
34199 | I do n''t think I shall ever want to say it again now; and I used to say it rather often, usen''t I? |
34199 | I know tea comes from an evergreen plant, something like a myrtle, but that is n''t much information, is it? |
34199 | I know they worship idols, but how do they believe in them?" |
34199 | I wonder if you would like it? |
34199 | Is it not kind of Che- Yin? |
34199 | Is it not so, my child?" |
34199 | Is it not so?" |
34199 | Is n''t it a pity that they do n''t know better? |
34199 | Is n''t that nasty? |
34199 | It will be longer for poor old Leonard, wo n''t it?" |
34199 | Leonard said;"with no end of ships to be seen?" |
34199 | Must not this scene have been very lovely? |
34199 | Should n''t you like it too? |
34199 | We can not help feeling sorry to leave our old friends, can we?" |
34199 | What could this be for?" |
34199 | What other amusements have they?" |
34199 | What religion had the aborigines? |
34199 | When she went out visiting, questions such as the following were generally put to her,"What honourable name have you?" |
34199 | Who will be our guide, stay, and comfort, when we are separated from one another?" |
34199 | Why is it called that?" |
34199 | Will Jesus chide thy weakness, Or call thy labour vain? |
34199 | and is he alive now?" |
34199 | and"What age have you?" |
34199 | but what was the Christian name she chose? |
34199 | ever think for certain you would be one?" |
34199 | or is it only the boys?" |
34199 | ought n''t we to be careful, then, Leonard? |
34199 | she said;"and leave you and mother?" |
34199 | she then asked;"to the same place where you were before?" |
34199 | she then said,"is n''t the time dreadfully near now? |
34199 | though, as a rule, when people said"How do you do?" |
34199 | to her it was"Chin- chin mississi?" |
34199 | was"How do you do?" |
34199 | what 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?'' |
523 | According to international law has any one a right to interfere with the internal affairs of any foreign country? |
523 | And are you sure she had not swooned? |
523 | And did he use it? |
523 | And did she go to Li Hung- chang''s home? |
523 | And did you believe they could? |
523 | And did you go into the palace every day? |
523 | And do you settle up all your debts as we do here? |
523 | And how will you undertake to secure a concubine for such an old man? |
523 | And now,she continued,"we have these patriotic braves who claim to be impervious to swords and bullets; what shall we do? |
523 | And these are really the work of Her Majesty? |
523 | And they have done all this embroidery and painting in that time? |
523 | And what are those conditions? |
523 | And what are those ends? |
523 | And what do you propose to do? |
523 | And what does she do? |
523 | And what has become of your sister? 523 And what is she doing?" |
523 | And what is that? |
523 | And where is it now? |
523 | And why do not her friends call her attention to this fact? |
523 | And why not? |
523 | But could you not sit down? |
523 | But how do you consider it better than our method? |
523 | But how would they know that your slave was a Christian? |
523 | But what is this all about? |
523 | Can it be removed? |
523 | Could you come to- morrow morning? |
523 | Do n''t you think it is cruel for parents to sell their daughters in this way? |
523 | Do the Manchus consider themselves superior to the Chinese? |
523 | Do you fire off crackers? |
523 | Do you happen to have any from the brush of the Lady Miao, her painting teacher? |
523 | Do you know anything about the early life of the Empress Dowager? |
523 | Do you suppose he ever sees the edicts issued in his name? |
523 | Does 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?" |
523 | Everybody knows it, why not he? |
523 | How did you do it? |
523 | How did you obtain your education? |
523 | How do you ride it? |
523 | How does he know that? |
523 | How does she employ herself? |
523 | How is that? |
523 | How is your sister? |
523 | How long has the school been in session? |
523 | How many concubines has he? |
523 | How many servants do you use ordinarily? |
523 | How many sisters are there in your family-- eight, are there not? |
523 | How old is he? |
523 | Indeed? |
523 | Indeed? |
523 | Is not the Empress Dowager very much opposed to foot- binding? 523 Is the Princess very ill?" |
523 | May I ask if you would be willing to undertake the development of such a system? |
523 | No, I was not aware of the fact; and were they married? |
523 | Of course, I know you could not sit down in the presence of Her Majesty, but could you not withdraw and rest a while? |
523 | Of what does their course of study consist? |
523 | Of what importance is the study of chemistry to the agriculturist? |
523 | Oh, you are from the palace near the west gate? |
523 | That would be very kind of you,I answered,"but how would you undertake to get them?" |
523 | The 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?'' |
523 | There is general alarm in the city that the Emperor himself will be disposed of; what do you think about it? |
523 | This is a new move in Peking, is it not? |
523 | What Princess? |
523 | What are the Western sources of economic prosperity, and as China is now so poor, what should she do? |
523 | What did Your Highness think of the relative characteristics of the Germans and the French, as you saw them? |
523 | What do you think of that? |
523 | What do you think of your bullet- proof Boxers now? |
523 | What do you want to join the church for? |
523 | What is his given name? |
523 | What is the matter? |
523 | What is the matter? |
523 | What is to prevent our putting into operation such a system throughout this province? |
523 | What kind of a night did she have? |
523 | When does she want me to go? |
523 | When is she to appear? |
523 | When may I do so? |
523 | Where is your slave girl now? 523 Who can tell? |
523 | Who would do it? |
523 | Who,he asked,"are these Boxers? |
523 | Why return so soon? |
523 | Why? |
523 | With pleasure; at what time? |
523 | Would you not like to come and visit our girls''high school? |
523 | Yes,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?" |
523 | You are a Chinese, are you not, Lady Miao? |
523 | After they had gone I asked:"Why is it that the Manchu and Chinese ladies do not intermingle in a social way?" |
523 | And for what? |
523 | And what shall we say of her compared with the great women of other races? |
523 | But how was this to be done? |
523 | But 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? |
523 | But then, what if she did? |
523 | But what would you have done? |
523 | But who did it? |
523 | Can they be depended upon as pillars of state?" |
523 | DOES ANY ONE THINK THAT OUR TROOPS ARE AS WELL DRILLED OR AS WELL LED AS THOSE OF THE FOREIGN ARMIES? |
523 | Did not the thirteen colonies throw down the gauntlet to England for less cause? |
523 | Do you celebrate the New Year in your honourable country?" |
523 | During this time were the Emperor and his young"Confucius"idle? |
523 | Had you or I been ill would we have allowed the man who was the cause of our fall to select our physician? |
523 | Have you been out of the city?" |
523 | Have you never noticed that in his edicts the Emperor speaks of his Manchu slaves and his Chinese subjects?" |
523 | Have you noticed how ready we are to forgive those on our side for doing that for which we would bitterly condemn our opponents? |
523 | How can they, a mere rabble, hope to vanquish the armies of foreign nations?" |
523 | How could I send her out to death when she had been so kind and faithful to me? |
523 | How is it that I have never seen her?" |
523 | I believe it is customary in calling on a foreign gentleman to see his lady, is it not?" |
523 | I said to him:"The Prince has a good many children, has he not?" |
523 | Is it too much to say that she was the greatest woman of the last half century? |
523 | Is that true?" |
523 | Need we ask the reason why? |
523 | OR THAT WE CAN SUCCESSFULLY STAND AGAINST THEM? |
523 | One day the eunuch saw my wife''s bicycle standing on the veranda and said:"What kind of a cart is that?" |
523 | One of her critics, referring to the last sentence of the above edict, asks:"Do not these words throw down the gauntlet?" |
523 | Shall we cast in our lot with their millions and drive all these foreigners out of China or not?" |
523 | Shall we go with this busy little princess to another festal occasion? |
523 | That the Emperor was poisoned? |
523 | They 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?" |
523 | They usually followed this with another question:"What would happen if the Empress Dowager should die?" |
523 | We expressed our surprise that he was still in Peking, and asked:"Has the Empress Dowager ceased prosecuting her search for you reformers?" |
523 | What about your old conservative friends? |
523 | What now were the results? |
523 | What now were these wonderful gifts before which these men and women of rank and noble birth were falling upon their faces? |
523 | What shall we say of his Chinese relations? |
523 | What then are we to infer? |
523 | What then is the explanation? |
523 | What then shall we say when people of an alien race come seeking admission? |
523 | Who are their leaders? |
523 | Why did she not stretch forth her hand and prevent them? |
523 | Why has she not forbidden it?" |
523 | Why 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? |
523 | Will the curious world ever know? |
523 | You say she was anti- foreign-- would you have been very much in love with Germany, Russia, France and England under those circumstances? |
523 | said I;"what makes you think so?" |
39735 | Are 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? |
39735 | Colonel Sykes.--''By whom?'' 39735 To what case does this allude? |
39735 | What, 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 | ''And what about those in the country?'' |
39735 | ''Are there any special laws or commands connected with the dynasty?'' |
39735 | ''But is not this the case with a great number of your adherents?'' |

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?'' |
39735 | And if the disciplined troops do this with impunity, what can you think if the non- disciplined do it? |

39735 | Can anything more dreadful than the state of these unhappy patriots be imagined? |
39735 | Can this be called a"blasphemous and immoral"basis of religion? |
39735 | Did it prove that Cromwell was neither a general nor an administrator? |
39735 | Did that prove that the English noblemen and gentlemen who first headed that rebellion were unfit to establish a government? |

39735 | Does Colonel Gordon, R.E., call this"observing the rules of warfare as practised among foreign nations,"according to the proviso of Sir F. Bruce? |
39735 | Does Sir F. Bruce, after the massacres at Wu- see, Kar- sing,& c., still term Gordon''s conduct"a service in favour of humanity"? |
39735 | Edkins, John, Medhurst, Muirhead,& c., referred to and quoted in this work? |
39735 | Have we ever retaliated the enmity of England and France?'' |
39735 | He asked the Chung- wang"why he had ventured within the limits of Consular Ports;"and received this reply:--"Why? |
39735 | He wanted to know in what single instance had our treaty rights or our trade been in danger? |
39735 | He will be very sorry to resort to force(? |
39735 | He wished to know any instance in which either the property or the life of a British subject had been placed in danger?" |
39735 | His name is most honourable, To be handed down through distant ages; Who was this Hwuy, That he dared to alter it? |
39735 | His reward would be a sorry heart(? |
39735 | How came it that General Brown was either ignorant of, or suppressed the fact? |
39735 | How did Gordon learn that fact, or that story? |
39735 | How did the fact come to be kept so secret from the public? |
39735 | I said that I wanted to make the Imperialists and rebels good friends(? |
39735 | I told him I was going to the Tai- hu; and he said,"_ Why not_ wait? |
39735 | I told him I was going to the Tai- hu; and he said,''Why not wait? |
39735 | In reply, I ask if it be so, in how far do the Taepings differ in that respect from the Russians, French, and Americans? |
39735 | In what respect do you think the trade injurious to us in our relations with China? |
39735 | Is it not a most shameful perversion of the American nationality? |
39735 | Is not faithfulness bought and sold in''Vanity Fair,''and should that not be looked for in the conduct of a-- British soldier?" |
39735 | Is not this a time for foreign governments to come forward and arrange the terms? |
39735 | Is the peaceful and civil reception the English get from these nations the result of pure friendliness or of policy? |
39735 | Is this British justice? |
39735 | Is this not excellent? |
39735 | Is this not the best plan? |
39735 | Is_ this_ neutrality? |
39735 | It was for such a state of things as this, was it, that Gordon gave his talents? |
39735 | Let me ask you that before my Lord settled at Kiang- nan, could you get admittance into the interior? |
39735 | Let us ask, whence these great and glorious changes? |
39735 | Mr. Adkins goes on to say"that the impostor(?) |
39735 | Shall 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?" |
39735 | The only other excuse of any moment is the"_ might_ injure trade"one; but is that to be considered a sufficient justification? |
39735 | They did so, and were well paid for the affair; but is this neutrality? |
39735 | Was it for this that English guns had been loaned by the representatives of the British people? |
39735 | Was it for_ this_ that Englishmen fought? |
39735 | Was it for_ this_ that the''first nation of the world''and the two_ Scotchmen_, Gordon and Dr. Macartney, had fought? |
39735 | Was_ this_ neutrality? |
39735 | We have seen that in the preceding debate Lord Palmerston plainly and frankly declared:--"We interfered in the affairs of China; and why?" |
39735 | Well, why then do they persecute Christian converts so that their lives are in jeopardy? |
39735 | What about the"immense loss"of the other version, in which they do such heroic deeds to capture the palace? |

39735 | Who, then, proved to be the devastator and marauder; the uncivilized Chinese, or the civilized Christian? |
39735 | Why did he not make it his business to see that the assurances which he had given to the Nar- wang were carried out? |
39735 | Why did not Gordon mention this important circumstance in his letter to Sir Frederic advising His Excellency that he had again taken the field? |

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

15250 | But,replied the T''ien- shih,"was it not your Majesty who ordered me under pain of death to exterminate the authors of this pandemonium?" |
15250 | Has he had the smallpox? |
15250 | Have I not power enough to be the God of Heaven? |
15250 | How can I cross? |
15250 | How could I, a poor useless wretch,replied Ch''un- yü,"have ever aspired to such honour?" |
15250 | How far off is this island? |
15250 | How is it that I find myself in this place? 15250 How is that?" |
15250 | I gave him back my substance; why did he burn my temple and smash up my image? |
15250 | I 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?" |
15250 | If you are of a cultured family, why did you become a priest? |
15250 | Is it because I am poor? |
15250 | Is not this my home? 15250 Since my husband is dead, what can they say?" |
15250 | Then where can I procure this remedy? |
15250 | Well,replied the dog,"will you agree to her marrying me if I change myself into a man?" |
15250 | Well,said Miao Shan to her father,"will you now force me to marry and prevent my devoting myself to the attainment of perfection?" |
15250 | What Immortal,she asked,"can have been so charitable as to sacrifice a hand and eye for the King''s benefit?" |

15250 | What else can they do? |
15250 | What have you been doing? |

15250 | What is the name of this spirit? |

15250 | What is your name? |
15250 | What obnoxious creature is this that you have brought into the world? |
15250 | What power have your masters? |
15250 | What qualifications have you? |
15250 | What remedy is there, and how am I to protect the people? |
15250 | What shall I do? |
15250 | What special degree of ability have you attained during your course of perfection? |
15250 | What was the face of the saintly person like who gave you the remedy? |
15250 | What way, and where is it? |
15250 | What, after all, is this remedy that I must have in order to be cured? |
15250 | When you removed her hands and eyes did she seem to suffer? |
15250 | Where are these people going? |

15250 | Where is Hsiang Shan, and how far from here? |
15250 | Where is the sky? |
15250 | Where is the source of the salt water? |
15250 | Where is this bird to be found? |
15250 | Where will you go for aid? |
15250 | Whither away, nun? |
15250 | Who am I,asked Miao Shan,"that you should deign to take the trouble to show me such respect?" |
15250 | Who are you? |
15250 | Who are you? |
15250 | Who are you? |
15250 | Who but she would have given hands and eyes? 15250 Who has demolished my temple?" |
15250 | Who is Ch''ien- t''ang? |
15250 | Who is that who speaks so brutally? |
15250 | Who is that? |
15250 | Who is there,answered the girl,"who does not love the royal dignity?--what person who does not aspire to the happiness of marriage? |
15250 | Who slew my messenger? |
15250 | Why are you so afraid that he might hear what I have just told you? |
15250 | Why continue so useless a fight? |
15250 | Why do you not leave the place? |
15250 | Why eat of one tree? 15250 Why have you come to this place?" |
15250 | Why is it,asked the King,"that this remedy, which is so efficacious for the left side, should not be applied to the right?" |
15250 | Would 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?" |
15250 | Addressing himself to Lu Ch''i, he asked:"Do you wish to live in the Crystal Palace?" |
15250 | After a little while Hsi- mên Pao said:"Why does she stay so long? |
15250 | Are n''t you ashamed to do such a thing? |
15250 | Are we not told that''out of evil cometh good''? |
15250 | Are we to suppose, then, that the Chinese Lei Kung is of Indian origin? |
15250 | Are you sure it is still upon your head?" |
15250 | But,"he added, pointing with his hand,"is not that Sun coming yonder?" |
15250 | Can a good woman be found in that class? |
15250 | Chia 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?" |
15250 | Detecting this manoeuvre, the god was incensed, and said to the Emperor:"You have broken your word; did you bring Lu here to insult me? |
15250 | Do n''t you remember how we tied a handkerchief on the stem of a bamboo?" |
15250 | Do you wish to have me disgraced? |
15250 | Forthwith 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?" |
15250 | Half- 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?" |
15250 | Has anyone ever known a daughter of a king become a nun? |
15250 | He said:"Why do you make no progress? |
15250 | He then said to Sun, with a laugh:"What can you do to me now?" |
15250 | He then spoke,"Illustrious friend, why did not you tell me? |
15250 | He, seeing her colour fade away, said:"My dear, what shall I get you to eat?" |
15250 | Here, without any lonely mountain on which to give myself up to the pursuit of perfection, what will become of me?" |
15250 | How can I be wanting in sincerity?" |
15250 | How can I get one of their hearts?" |
15250 | How can I live in this desolate region?" |
15250 | How can we serve spiritual beings while we do not know how to serve men? |
15250 | How can you speak so lightly? |
15250 | How dare you kill him, and then boast of your crime?" |
15250 | How dare you lend your mountain to the Demon for such a purpose?" |
15250 | How did these Taoists deceive your King?" |

15250 | If I were to be accused at Court of having instituted the worship of false gods, would not my destruction be certain? |
15250 | If she is left without help, who is there who will be willing to adopt the virtuous life? |
15250 | If you can not suppress them, how do you expect to see the Great Lord?" |
15250 | If you must die, why should Sha Ho- shang and Pa- chieh and the Dragon- horse also suffer?" |
15250 | Is a human being meant to live in marital relations with a horse?" |

43497 | Is 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?" |
43497 | Master,suggested Robert, who always addressed me thus,"would it not be more prudent to land again before the storm reaches its height? |
43497 | May it not be Changpas? |
43497 | No, 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?" |
43497 | Ordered to halt? |
43497 | Shall you have more of such lake voyages, Master? |
43497 | Tell me, Hlaje Tsering, do you think that I shall be stopped in the territory of the Labrang? |
43497 | Tell me, Ma Daloi, do you think that the Tashi Lama will receive me? |
43497 | That 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?" |
43497 | WHERE ARE YOU GOING? |
43497 | We are, then, in the province of Tang- yung? |
43497 | We shall, then, have more losses soon? |

43497 | Where do you come from? |
43497 | Where do you think that the soldiers are waiting for us? |
43497 | Where is he? 43497 Where is the Governor of Naktsang?" |
43497 | Where? |
43497 | Which way will they ask us to take this time? |
43497 | Whither are you travelling? |
43497 | Who founded it, then? |
43497 | Who has brought the mail? |
43497 | Why did you not close the way to me? 43497 Why do you put these questions?" |
43497 | Why have you come to my tent, Karma Tamding? 43497 Why is it that it has just been so dark?" |
43497 | Why, then, have we not seen the fire before? 43497 Why,"they then both asked,"did you not show us this paper at once? |
43497 | Will it, then, be still colder than now? |
43497 | Will you be so good as to sell us yaks, Karma Tamding? |
43497 | Will you give us some of your sheep? |
43497 | Will you go on a long journey with me? |
43497 | Will you guide us? |
43497 | Will you procure us guides? |
43497 | Will you sell me some horses for them? |
43497 | You have not heard, then, that any messenger from Shigatse has been inquiring about us? |
43497 | A coarse fellow asked shortly and boldly( Illustration 89):"What are you?" |
43497 | A curious feeling of awe took possession of me; had I insulted them through some want of delicacy? |
43497 | A thought occurs to me: shall we travel on to the mouth of the Ki- chu and thence go up to Lhasa on foot? |
43497 | After all the severe trials and adventures we had experienced should we succeed in reaching our goal? |
43497 | Ah, where would my dreams again be shattered and my aspirations cease to pulsate? |
43497 | And why should they not be endowed with intelligence? |
43497 | And why? |
43497 | And with what object? |
43497 | And, besides, how long do you expect to have to wait here for the answer? |
43497 | Are they walls erected across my path by hostile spirits, or do they await my coming? |
43497 | Are you disposed to accompany me on a journey of two years through the high mountains?" |
43497 | But could we carry ourselves enough provisions to last us through this uninhabited country? |
43497 | But he must know something about me, or how could Ngurbu Tundup''s arrival at Ngangtse- tso with the letters be explained? |
43497 | But 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?" |
43497 | But what is that? |
43497 | But where are our men? |
43497 | But why is this?" |
43497 | But why was he so late? |
43497 | But, tell me, how have you got on since we last saw one another?" |
43497 | Can I have the kidneys for dinner to- morrow?" |
43497 | Can he be Amitabha himself? |
43497 | Could I not buy some of these charming figures? |
43497 | Could the boat provide us with shelter? |
43497 | Could we keep alive till the sun rose? |
43497 | Did spring set in so early in these more southern regions? |
43497 | Does the Maharaja of Kashmir lay claim to it, or the Dalai- Lama, or is it a part of Chinese Turkestan? |
43497 | Each community remains together on the journey, but how do they choose a leader? |
43497 | Had Ganpat Sing lost the letters, or had they never reached Leh? |
43497 | Had Hlaje Tsering received secret orders from Lhasa? |
43497 | Had I not here a task before me much more profitable than following in the steps of Tommy Atkins to Lhasa? |
43497 | Had he been informed that the Tashi Lama was really expecting me? |
43497 | Had it, perchance, tributaries deriving their water from the heart of the mysterious country to the north? |
43497 | Had the wolves torn him in pieces? |
43497 | Has anything happened to him? |
43497 | Has one of your superiors sent you?" |
43497 | Have they not come this very day to stop our further progress?" |
43497 | Have you one from the Tashi Lama? |
43497 | He 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?" |
43497 | Hlaje Tsering bristled up at once and exclaimed:"To the Dangra- yum- tso? |
43497 | How 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? |
43497 | How could I foresee that I should one day reckon him among my best friends, and think of him with warm respect and admiration? |
43497 | How is the caravan?" |
43497 | How long is it to the dawn? |
43497 | How long would it be before the boat would ground on the hard, salt bottom, if it found itself in a trough between two waves? |
43497 | How should we prosper? |
43497 | How were we to pass the night with 29 degrees of frost, and wet clothes already stiffened into cuirasses of ice? |
43497 | I 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? |
43497 | If I let you go, which road will you take?" |
43497 | Is it to be wondered at that a stranger feels happy in this house, where he is surrounded daily with kindness and hospitality? |
43497 | Is not the following menu tempting? |
43497 | Is the river one of the forbidden paths of Tibet? |
43497 | Is there a lake in the neighbourhood? |
43497 | It is evident that we must leave Shigatse, but by which route? |
43497 | It is well and naturally executed--_pia fraus!_"When was the monastery founded?" |
43497 | Might 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? |
43497 | Nay, should I ever have enough of it? |
43497 | Now all the militia must stand under arms to----""You surely do not intend to detain me again?" |
43497 | Now the only question was: should we be able to drag ourselves along to inhabited districts? |
43497 | On October 1 I wrote in my diary:"What will be our experiences in this new month? |
43497 | Or should we seek out the nearest nomads at once, and beg them for assistance? |
43497 | Or tell me to what Power this land belongs? |
43497 | Robert and I rolled ourselves together in a bunch, but of what use was it? |
43497 | Several months?" |
43497 | Shall we remain together so long? |
43497 | Should I be tired of it? |
43497 | Should we all remain together till we fell in with the first nomads? |
43497 | Should we be received as open enemies, and after all wish ourselves back with the wolves on the banks of Yeshil- kul? |
43497 | Should we perish one after another in these icy deserts of the Tibetan Alps? |
43497 | The post? |
43497 | Three antelope tracks we crossed were regarded as a good sign; there must be pasturage somewhere about, but where? |
43497 | Twilight falls; I feel my heart beating; shall we succeed? |
43497 | Was it another traveller, or had hunters wandered thus far? |
43497 | Was it certain where the source of the Brahmaputra lay? |
43497 | Was it possible? |
43497 | Was it, perhaps, impossible, for political reasons, to send me my letters from India? |
43497 | Was the spring coming? |
43497 | Was, perhaps, the Raga- tsangpo the main stream? |
43497 | Were there warm springs at the bottom which prevented the lake from freezing over in parts? |
43497 | What are you gazing at?" |
43497 | What did it matter what time it was? |
43497 | What did it matter whether the Tibetans would be friendly or hostile? |
43497 | What did this most unexpected change of front mean? |
43497 | What did we care if the air was raw and cold? |
43497 | What did we talk about? |
43497 | What do you think of doing now?" |
43497 | What is to happen then?" |
43497 | What on earth can he have to tell them that they have not heard already twenty times over? |
43497 | What would become of the re- incarnation when no one knew where the two popes were dwelling? |
43497 | What would it have profited me to have made them anxious by anticipating troubles? |
43497 | What would the next year bring? |
43497 | When and where would these leaves come to rest after flying over endless stretches of unknown country? |
43497 | When did he come?" |
43497 | Where have you been yourself?" |
43497 | Where would our grand progress come to a standstill, checked by a peremptory"Thus far and no farther,"backed up by muzzle- loaders and sabres? |
43497 | Who would have looked for a true prairie up here in North Tibet? |
43497 | Why did I not understand him when he so plainly said a last good- bye? |
43497 | Why did they not signal by lighting a fire? |
43497 | Why should they speed away at random like soulless flying- machines? |
43497 | Why? |
43497 | Would it be granted me to find once more my home unchanged? |
43497 | Would it not be better to land and wait for the day? |
43497 | Would opposition still continue, or would the Tibetans prove more friendly than Europeans? |
43497 | Would the 13th be unfortunate for us also? |
43497 | Would the lama monasteries of Tibet give us such a friendly welcome? |
43497 | the culminating point of my career or a retrogression? |
12086 | Alas, how could you do this thing? 12086 And how do you know that, maiden? |
12086 | And what is the price of that? |
12086 | And what successful stroke of business have you concluded? |
12086 | And you sleep on the ground- floor, while your parents have their room above? 12086 Are you betrothed?" |
12086 | Are you not a little mad? |
12086 | Are you not the protector of our doctrine, and is it not natural that the spirits should pay special attention to your prayers? |
12086 | But are you not afraid of rousing suspicion? |
12086 | But how is she to be cured? |
12086 | But how shall we bring the thing about? |
12086 | But if, by mischance, our son should die? |
12086 | But what are you going to do? |
12086 | But what has caused this illness? |
12086 | But what shall I say if he asks me for news? |
12086 | But what, then, is the reason for this hunger? |
12086 | But why must the wives of the people come here, if my wife need not disturb herself to do so? |
12086 | But will my mother consent? |
12086 | Could you not lead me to him? |
12086 | Do you dare to come to my house and insult me and strike me? |
12086 | Do you mean what you say? |
12086 | Do you think we can be safe when she has gone to Fan? |
12086 | How can it be done? 12086 How comes a singing girl to belong to my brother?" |
12086 | How could a young man of your education commit such an act? 12086 How does this wretch dare to dishonor my family?" |
12086 | How is our plan going? |
12086 | How old are you? 12086 How should I dare to fix a price? |
12086 | In my heart? |
12086 | In what can I serve you? |
12086 | In what special way are you so seriously ill? |
12086 | My poor child,she asked,"what is the matter with you?" |
12086 | Since we are husband and wife,he said impatiently,"why do we not sleep under the same blanket?" |
12086 | The small Eternal Life? 12086 Then how much must he give to take me away?" |
12086 | Well? 12086 What are you going to do, then?" |
12086 | What do you mean? |
12086 | What do you want with me? |
12086 | What have you done? |
12086 | What have you there? |
12086 | What is his name? |
12086 | What is my Lord''s intention? |
12086 | What is the matter? 12086 When I have the good fortune to receive your learned and enlightening counsel, how could I fail to respect it?" |
12086 | When will he come? |
12086 | Where is the silver? |
12086 | Who is this friend, Sun? 12086 Why did you not say so? |
12086 | Why do you lock yourselves in during full daylight, and groan and embrace each other? |
12086 | Why do you tell me all that? 12086 With such an adorably beautiful girl? |
12086 | Would you not say they were real? |
12086 | Ya- nei? 12086 You are not very eager, then?" |
12086 | You have succeeded in rising, my elder brother? |
12086 | You wish to go? 12086 Your Honorable Favor has doubtless some admirable plan?" |
12086 | After a moment she continued:"Shall I tell you the name of your illness? |
12086 | Also, if you say nothing, who will know of it?" |
12086 | And in what manner are these prayers made?" |
12086 | And then frighten us with your illness? |
12086 | And what is your first name which one does not presume to repeat?" |
12086 | And what would people say of me afterwards?" |
12086 | Are you able to come back again, when even I am so tired?" |
12086 | Are you not betrothed?" |
12086 | Are you not hungry? |
12086 | Are you trying to insult me by expressing a wish to prove my words?" |
12086 | At last he answered:"What, in your enlightened opinion, ought I to do?" |
12086 | Bewildered and not knowing what to do, he turned to Eternal Life and asked:"How can you say that I have been intimate with you? |
12086 | But about the rest?" |
12086 | But at last she said:"What man are you who dare to take my sister- in- law''s place?" |
12086 | But he was seized by a whirl of cold snow, and called to the dog:"What are you barking for, O animal of the Gods?" |
12086 | But how do these slippers come here, for they have already been worn?" |
12086 | But how much would you need?" |
12086 | But if the young girl should call out? |
12086 | But it was always dark, and how can I be sure? |
12086 | But what will become of me alone?" |
12086 | But will your honorable father be satisfied?" |
12086 | But, though he is there now, where will he be tomorrow? |
12086 | By what blunder of the gods had this piece of flawless jade fallen in the windy dust, among the flowers beneath the willow? |
12086 | Could I not have a letter from Ya- nei on his arrival?" |
12086 | Could he have committed this double crime in his sleep? |
12086 | Dare you say it is not true?" |
12086 | Did you not confess all before the judge? |
12086 | Did you not match the pair of my embroidered slippers?" |
12086 | Did you not throw your handkerchief? |
12086 | Did you see her?" |
12086 | Do not fly into a rage, but answer me: what happened after ma- ma Lu had visited you?" |
12086 | Do you believe that I could be a murderer? |
12086 | Do you wish me to act as the go- between for your marriage? |
12086 | Do you wish to make us a laughing- stock?" |
12086 | Each of them cried:"Uncle, how could you do such a thing?" |
12086 | Elegant watched him with astonishment, and asked him in a low voice:"Is that still too little?" |
12086 | Eternal Life answered in irritation:"Did you not look at me with lecherous eyes under my window? |
12086 | For what did you take me? |
12086 | Had your father an enemy?" |
12086 | Has my Lord made a decision on this point?" |
12086 | Have you come to some arrangement with her on this point?" |
12086 | Have you found the hundred and fifty ounces?" |
12086 | He asked her:"On which pillow would you like to sleep? |
12086 | He brought his lips close to the delicate ear lying beside him, and whispered:"Why are you so bashful? |
12086 | He only answered with a flood of tears; so she insisted:"Can people have been so hard as to refuse three hundred ounces?" |
12086 | He repeated:"Is it I? |
12086 | He thought:"How does he already know what happened in my house but yesterday?" |
12086 | His emotion began to rise, and he asked:"How many flowering Springtides have you known?" |
12086 | His mother opened the door to him, and cried in terror:"Have you stolen the corpse also?" |
12086 | How can I manage to see this bird?" |
12086 | How can I tell him how to find me again?" |
12086 | How can he be here?" |
12086 | How comes it that she is not further developed?" |
12086 | How could I have avoided this?" |
12086 | How could he endure such torture? |
12086 | How could she have a forbidden love? |
12086 | How could you get in? |
12086 | How could your prudent relatives and valuable friends fail to share the views of your honorable father? |
12086 | How dare you deny it?" |
12086 | How did you kill her father and her mother?" |
12086 | How is it that you want to eat all that?" |
12086 | How shall I ensure our happiness, when my father has broken with me? |
12086 | How shall I set about making known my thought to him?" |
12086 | How should I dare not to keep my word? |
12086 | How should I not be glad of this offer?" |
12086 | If anything is the matter, we must discuss it Why do you hide your sorrow from me?" |
12086 | If he spent the borrowed money on"tinted faces,"would not his father bear a grudge against those who lent it? |
12086 | If his plan is good, why should I not agree to it?" |
12086 | If there were a mistake, would you leave him to die?" |
12086 | If you beat her, all the neighbors will know, and who would wish to marry her? |
12086 | If you kill her, what will be left to us? |
12086 | In his emotion and fear, he cried:"Are you not dead, my darling?" |
12086 | In the darkness, and in such emotion, how could that mistake be known? |
12086 | In 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? |
12086 | In this way he fell into the trap set by Sun, who hastened to salute him, asking:"Old- Elder- Brother, what is your honorable name? |
12086 | Instead of leaving them to enrich the earth, would it not be better to take them?" |
12086 | Is it not a fitting time to drink and rejoice, so as to forget our former sorrows? |
12086 | Is not my turn coming?" |
12086 | Is not this the house of Fan and Erh- lang?" |
12086 | Is she not an Immortal from the Jasper Lake Or from the Moon Palace? |
12086 | Is she not charming? |
12086 | Is that not strange? |
12086 | Is the matter so in truth? |
12086 | Is there no son of decent family who would marry her? |
12086 | Lord 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?" |
12086 | Meanwhile the nurse objected:"But what can they say there? |
12086 | My uncle, what brings you?" |
12086 | Otherwise, must I not die in order to redeem my shame?" |
12086 | Ought he to kill her? |
12086 | She approached the bench where he sat, and he took her hand:"How can I have been so foolish as to fear you?" |
12086 | She asked him:"Has it been very difficult? |
12086 | She called him:"Have you a little honey- water?" |
12086 | She 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?" |
12086 | She has very well kept him company, has she not?" |
12086 | She herself went to the room where the nurse was, and asked:"Has our new daughter''s mother something to say to us?" |
12086 | She then undid her husband''s clothes and, leaning on the pillow, gently asked him:"What news have you heard that has so upset you?" |
12086 | The Governor smiled:"Then it is only the cells which these two women occupied that have secret passages?" |
12086 | The latter looked at him intently, and harshly asked:"How did you enter into an intrigue with P''an''s daughter? |
12086 | The lower one?" |
12086 | The sick man was startled and sat up:"How do you know that?" |
12086 | The unhappy man wept, saying:"What must I write? |
12086 | Then he denied the matter:"Kinsman, whence come these words with which you are trying to sully my family?" |
12086 | Then in the middle of the night she asked:"If you can not find three hundred ounces to free me, what are we to do?" |
12086 | Then will not the temporary residence of your Honorable Favor become a permanent one? |
12086 | They looked at each other in dismay:"What are we going to do now?" |
12086 | They quickly put on their garments, and came to kneel before the Governor, who asked them:"What did you see during the night? |
12086 | Was it not strangely fortunate that Prudence''s mother should herself have come and let her in this manner to his bed? |
12086 | Was it you who killed her?" |
12086 | Was this departure genuine, now, or but pretended? |
12086 | We might imagine that your family had changed its intention....""At least, can I see the invalid?" |
12086 | What are these sighings?" |
12086 | What are you afraid of? |
12086 | What can we do?" |
12086 | What could she do, she who was thus deprived of the money and the pledge of love? |
12086 | What have you done?" |
12086 | What have you to say?" |
12086 | What is it you desire?" |
12086 | What is the illness?" |
12086 | What is the use of arguing it? |
12086 | What is your plan, ma- ma?" |
12086 | What shall we do?" |
12086 | What will become of us, now that we have no trace of visitors?" |
12086 | What will happen if people come to know of it?" |
12086 | When I saw him beneath the moon, why had I not wings to fly to him? |
12086 | When she was alone with Li Chia, Shih- niang asked:"Where shall we go when we have left the capital? |
12086 | Where are the thousand ounces?" |
12086 | Where does he come from? |
12086 | Where will you find clothes and food? |
12086 | Where, then, shall we two, floating with the current, come to our anchorage? |
12086 | Who is the little girl who has such feet? |
12086 | Who would be content with three hundred ounces for such a beauty? |
12086 | Who would have thought of troubling to examine the two new arrivals? |
12086 | Who would have thought your faith so shallow, that, on the strength of a chance conversation, you would consent to lose my loyal heart? |
12086 | Who would have ventured out there? |
12086 | Whose was that voice?" |
12086 | Why are you resting like this?" |
12086 | Why could she not meet some charming companion, some phoenix worthy of her? |
12086 | Why did she make the mistake of loving Li Chia? |
12086 | Why did you show it me?" |
12086 | Why do you fear to speak?" |
12086 | Why do you show such grief to- day, when we are about to cross the river and to taste the joy of a hundred years? |
12086 | Why have you committed acts of which Celestial Reason disapproves?" |
12086 | Why should you cut my parents''throats, and cause my death?" |
12086 | Why were you weeping?" |
12086 | Why, then, do you hang such words to your/ teeth?" |
12086 | Why, then, must the women also go and pass the night in the temple? |
12086 | Will you hear it?" |
12086 | Will you not consent to favor me with a song?" |
12086 | Will you not consent to help me?" |
12086 | Will you, please, feel his pulse?" |
12086 | With what object are you trying to encompass my ruin?" |
12086 | Would 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? |
12086 | Would it not be better to send him back with a letter to Wu, requiring gifts of betrothal? |
12086 | Would it not be better to tell Prudence to go and keep her company?" |
12086 | Would it not be my venerable brother''s pleasure that we should go to a riverside pavilion and divert ourselves by drinking wine?" |
12086 | Would it not be safer?" |
12086 | Would not the neighbors know it?" |
12086 | Wu asked him:"How many sons have you, O Old- Man- Born- Before- Me?" |
12086 | You leave a beautiful woman to live there all alone: can you guarantee that none will climb her wall or penetrate her dwelling? |
12086 | You to whom I owe so much, what do you say?" |
12086 | Your suffering rises from that; is it not so?" |
29939 | Ah,said the ape,"is it so high that it outranks all other dignities?" |
29939 | And have you come? |
29939 | And how do you know this? |
29939 | And what have you done during all those long years? |
29939 | And where do you wish to go now? |
29939 | And where is Molo? |
29939 | And where is the heartless husband? |
29939 | And who might he be? |
29939 | And why should we not celebrate,answered his wife,"since we have now become emperor and empress?" |
29939 | Are all the stars in their places? |
29939 | Are you able to walk? |
29939 | But she is up in Heaven,said the Herd Boy,"and how can I get there?" |
29939 | But what are rain- sheep? |
29939 | But what shall I do now? |
29939 | But where is your daughter? |
29939 | Can one gain eternal life by means of them? |
29939 | Can one gain eternal life in this way? |
29939 | Can one secure eternal life by means of it? |
29939 | Could you present him to me some time? |
29939 | Did all go well? |
29939 | Did not grandmother tell us that we must save no black- headed human beings? |
29939 | Did you kill any one? |
29939 | Do 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?" |
29939 | Do you wish to marry some one else, seeing that he has been missing so long? |
29939 | Has she also invited me? |
29939 | Have you enough? |
29939 | Have you seen the girl in the red coat? |
29939 | How could we claim such high descent? |
29939 | How many are there of you brothers? |
29939 | How many did you slay? |
29939 | How so do our lines not make sense? |
29939 | I am the man,answered Dung, alarmed,"how do you happen to know me?" |
29939 | I am the third,he answered,"and you?" |
29939 | May one sit down here? |
29939 | Now just tell me what tricks you are up to? 29939 O youth, whence do you come, that you dare to take our clothes?" |
29939 | Shall I teach you the sciences? |
29939 | Then, if you are no blessed god, how comes it you sing that divine song? |
29939 | Well, what are these evils? |
29939 | Were any fields damaged? |
29939 | What are the sciences? |
29939 | What can be the matter with the horse? |
29939 | What does that teach? |
29939 | What is the way of repose? |
29939 | What is to be done? |
29939 | What rank has this office? |
29939 | What sort of a god is he? |
29939 | When is the great flood coming? |
29939 | Where are you going? |
29939 | Where is your home? |
29939 | Who is Tsian Tang? |
29939 | Why are you making such a noise? |
29939 | Why are you so sad? 29939 Why did you not tell me at once?" |
29939 | Why do you ask me how I am getting along? |
29939 | Why do you not go along yourself and hunt up your father? |
29939 | Will it give one eternal life? |
29939 | Will you not rest a bit? |
29939 | A leaden bullet is no bird, the stable- boy does his work outside, would you call him into the room? |
29939 | After they had driven a good ways, they asked:"Will we soon get to grandmother''s house?" |
29939 | And now, who are you? |
29939 | And the emperor said:"What shall we do?" |
29939 | And the father said:"Are those not my daughters''voices?" |
29939 | And then I must ask you whether there is anything else you can do, aside from playing your tricks of transformation?" |
29939 | And to his apes he said:"What should be done?" |
29939 | And what are you doing before my door?" |
29939 | And 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?" |
29939 | And when the fire had heated him thoroughly, he suddenly opened his mouth-- and can you imagine what came out of it? |
29939 | And 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? |
29939 | And who are you, tell me that, who instead of grieving for yourself, are grieving for others? |
29939 | Are there gods who teach men to fear their wives? |
29939 | Astonished, he inquired:"Who are you? |
29939 | At once a warrior emerged from the waves of the sea, and asked:"Whence come you, honored guest?" |
29939 | Before 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?" |
29939 | But his brother was jealous of him, and said to him, harshly:"Where did you manage to steal the money?" |
29939 | But is your hat genuine?" |
29939 | But since a ruler has already arisen to reign over it, what is there to keep me in this country? |
29939 | But the ancient was already there, took him by the hand and said:"Are you back already to where you were? |
29939 | But the sorcerer answered:"Did not my ship turn turtle at sea, and yet you try to deceive me?" |
29939 | But what magic power have you at your disposal, that you were able to get here?" |
29939 | Can you fly already?" |
29939 | Can you prevent it?" |
29939 | Do the gods slaughter cattle like men?" |
29939 | Do you know of any one who might answer?" |
29939 | Do you not want to tell your old slave about it?" |
29939 | Dschou Bau asked him:"Who are you?" |
29939 | Dung asked him:"Did anything out of the ordinary happen when Sir Wang died?" |
29939 | Dung was agreeable and asked:"But what really brings you here?" |
29939 | Full of joy he leaped up and said:"How is it you have come back to me?" |
29939 | Have I no halo which makes you fear me, instead of going walking with me?" |
29939 | Have you any other income aside from it?" |
29939 | Have you come from the castle of the Lady in the Moon, or the Jade Spring of the Queen- Mother of the West?" |
29939 | Have you heard anything regarding a hero who is supposed to be in this neighborhood?" |
29939 | Have you no kinsfolk who will hasten to help you in your need, that you are compelled to turn to a mortal man?" |
29939 | Have you still not forgotten your pain?" |
29939 | He asked him:"Where is Old Dschang''s country house?" |
29939 | He asked them:"How many trees in all are there in the garden?" |
29939 | He belonged to the butterfly dancers, said he, and asked casually:"Are you sick because of Rose of Evening?" |
29939 | He called Sun Wu Kung up to him and asked:"What progress have you made with your art? |
29939 | He called out to his Master:"What does all this mean?" |
29939 | He was angry and scolded them, saying:"Why did you disobey my command?" |
29939 | Her father asked angrily:"Why did you throw the ball into the beggar''s hands?" |
29939 | His foster- mother was frightened, and asked:"Where have you been all year long?" |
29939 | His hand is not a foot long; how could I help but leap out of it?" |
29939 | How are you?" |
29939 | How can I honorably live again with such a man as you?" |
29939 | How can it possess a god''s power? |
29939 | How can you be of aid to him? |
29939 | How can you expect to rule here as Lord of the Heavens? |
29939 | How could the light have gone out?" |
29939 | How could you arrange our marriage?" |
29939 | How dare you claim that you have left my hand? |
29939 | How did you happen to meet my sister?" |
29939 | How does that happen?" |
29939 | How is it that another one comes now?" |
29939 | How is it with my merit?" |
29939 | How is it you do not return to us until now?" |
29939 | How many years would you have to pass before you could attain the dignity he has gained? |
29939 | How would it be if we were to buy steel and iron and have those smiths weld weapons for us?" |
29939 | How would it be possible to win into it?" |
29939 | IV WHO WAS THE SINNER? |
29939 | In she came, much excited, and began:"Have I ever omitted, as is right and proper, to visit you morning and evening? |
29939 | In the morning the father was very angry with the children, and said:"Who wants to go along to grandmother?" |
29939 | Is it possible for you to walk through the water?" |
29939 | Is it possible that she may be up there?" |
29939 | Is that not better than dying of hunger as a poor scholar?" |
29939 | Liu I asked:"What is this place called?" |
29939 | Liu I asked:"Why should the matter be kept from him?" |
29939 | Liu I went on to ask:"Why is he interested in the sacred book of the fire?" |
29939 | Ma asked:"Did not a man with two pails of water on his shoulder just go in?" |
29939 | Mosu bowed with lowered head and said:"But what have I done?" |
29939 | Moved to tears, he asked:"O my father, why are you here?" |
29939 | Notscha, however, came to them and said:"Why do you weep? |
29939 | On the way he met the Bare- Foot God and asked him:"Where are you going?" |
29939 | Once he was asked:"About how old might this tortoise be?" |
29939 | Round the Blue Pass snow towers high, And who will lead the horse aright? |
29939 | Said Sun Wu Kung to him:"To whom do you belong, little one? |
29939 | Said Sun Wu Kung:"What does magic teach one?" |
29939 | Said the Great Saint:"And who are all those whom the Queen- Mother has invited?" |
29939 | Said the wood- chopper:"I am only a workman; why do you call me divine master?" |
29939 | Softly he said to his friend:"What are the three river- gods called?" |
29939 | Suddenly an ancient man stood before him, leaning on a staff, who said:"What do you lack since you complain so?" |
29939 | Suddenly 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?" |
29939 | Sun Wu Kung answered:"If you do not know me then why did you send for me and have me dragged to this place? |
29939 | Sun Wu Kung grew very angry and said:"What sort of a devil is this who dares be so impudent?" |
29939 | Sun Wu Kung shouted at him:"Accursed devil, where are your eyes, that you can not see the venerable Sun?" |
29939 | Sun Wu Kung snorted and said:"Who are you, who dare to speak to me?" |
29939 | Surely that is enough to entitle me to be the Lord of the Heavens?" |
29939 | Tell me, pray, whence you come?" |
29939 | The Emperor said:"What do you know?" |
29939 | The King of the Apes said:"Where do these three kinds of beings live?" |
29939 | The Lord of the Heavens asked:"Then this hairy face with the pointed lips is Sun Wu Kung?" |
29939 | The ancient man said:"How much money would you need in order to live in all comfort?" |
29939 | The ancient seized his arm and said:"Where are you going? |
29939 | The 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?" |
29939 | The cow said:"Do you see that old willow- tree there on the shore? |
29939 | The eight boys changed into old men again and said:"Do you wish to go to school to us, O King? |
29939 | The eight old men smiled and said:"Oh, and are we too old to suit you? |
29939 | The giant called out harshly:"Who are you? |
29939 | The great king nodded, looked around and asked:"Are all the folk of the Wo- Me hills present?" |
29939 | The inn- keeper received him with the words:"Are you Master Dung, and have you come from the bay of Kaiutschou?" |
29939 | The king asked:"Are you not a living human being? |
29939 | The latter cried out:"How are you? |
29939 | The sea- dragon cried:"Who is disturbing me here in my own kingdom?" |
29939 | The ten Princes of the Dead were frightened, bowed before him and asked:"Who are you?" |
29939 | The wise man asked:"And have you still in your possession the stone which compels the dragons to do your will?" |
29939 | The woman answered:"How could I use you as a stranger? |
29939 | Then Sun Wu Kung was frightened and asked:"Is there any means of protection against these dangers?" |
29939 | Then he asked them:"Whom have I really the honor of entertaining? |
29939 | Then he looked at the merchant and asked:"Why is your necklace so short?" |
29939 | Then he questioned them further:"Have you the dragon- brain vapor?" |
29939 | Then he said in a deep voice:"Where are you? |
29939 | Then he saw the merchant and asked:"From whence does he hail?" |
29939 | Then some one asked:"If you have pears then why do you not eat your own?" |
29939 | Then the Master asked:"Shall I teach you the way of magic?" |
29939 | Then the apes opened their mouths and stuck out their tongues, and said:"Father, how is it possible for you to carry that heavy thing?" |
29939 | Then the daughters asked:"Mother, what are you eating?" |
29939 | Then the fox said:"How about it? |
29939 | Then the girls within called out:"Who is knocking at our door?" |
29939 | Then the soldier showed her the rope and said with a laugh:"Is this the thing you mean? |
29939 | Then the woman asked:"And where did you pass on your way?" |
29939 | Then there were doubts and questionings:"But the river- god lives a thousand miles away from here, how does he get to this place?" |
29939 | They sat down beside each other and the stranger asked:"What have you to eat?" |
29939 | They 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? |
29939 | What are you doing here?" |
29939 | What are you waiting to learn, then?" |
29939 | What difference does it make?" |
29939 | What do you mean by carrying on in such an unfitting manner?" |
29939 | What do you wish me to change myself into?" |
29939 | What has brought you here?" |
29939 | What has the Lord of the Heavens accomplished that entitles him to remain eternally on his throne? |
29939 | What is the punishment you wish to lay upon me?" |
29939 | What is this one ear worth to you? |
29939 | What need was there for him to lure me into his heaven to feed horses? |
29939 | What need was there for the body to go along? |
29939 | What shall I do with it?" |
29939 | What should be done?" |
29939 | What sort of a creature must I be? |
29939 | What sort of a title is that?" |
29939 | When Sky O''Dawn had died, the Emperor called the astrologer to him and asked:"Did you know Sky O''Dawn?" |
29939 | When he reached his house he asked:"Who is weeping here so pitifully?" |
29939 | When he reached land he saw a youth who asked him with astonishment:"Are you not from the Middle Kingdom?" |
29939 | When the rice was nearly boiled his sister- in- law said:"Wo n''t your leg be injured?" |
29939 | When they admitted that they had not, the wise man said:"How then will you compel the dragons to yield their treasure?" |
29939 | Where are you? |
29939 | Which way shall I teach you?" |
29939 | While the daughters replied:"Is that not our father''s voice?" |
29939 | While they were at table Sun Wu Kung asked accidentally:"Stablemaster? |
29939 | Why are you not asleep? |
29939 | Why did you have to marry her to such a wrinkled old gardener? |
29939 | Why do you have to turn yourself into a pine- tree? |
29939 | Why do you speak about my having been gone a year?" |
29939 | Why is this?" |
29939 | Why not let me go instead? |
29939 | Why should I continue to live?" |
29939 | Why should a gentleman''s beautiful daughter condescend to marry a poor old gardener like yourself? |
29939 | Why should he withdraw from you the enjoyment of the incense?" |
29939 | Why suddenly grow so angry about it?" |
29939 | Will you not come home with me?" |
29939 | Will you not speak one little word to save me? |
29939 | With tears in his eyes Sun Wu Kung asked him:"But where shall I go?" |
29939 | Wo n''t you say one little word to me? |
29939 | Yet the Sea of Dungting is long and broad, and how am I to find him?" |
42886 | Am I not a representative of one of the greatest mandarins of the empire? |
42886 | Are n''t you almost certain to be killed if you are found in company with a foreigner whom you are aiding to escape? |
42886 | Are they armed? |
42886 | Are you going to accept that proposition? |
42886 | Are you hurt, Rob? |
42886 | Are you really my father? |
42886 | Are you sick, or wounded, or what? 42886 Are you the American minister?" |
42886 | But how about the message to Pao- Ting? |
42886 | But what were you doing all this time? |
42886 | But who are you, sir? 42886 But why do you wear your finger- nails so long?" |
42886 | But, Rob, what do you suppose he wants all this white stuff worked into it for? |
42886 | Ca n''t something be done for them? |
42886 | Can you possibly be the Rob Hinckley who crossed the Pacific to Manila in the transport_ Logan_ last March? |
42886 | Can you tell how he was dressed? |
42886 | Can you tell me how soon I can get a train for New York? |
42886 | Can you tell me, sir,asked our lad, addressing this officer,"what American ship that is out there, and how she got wrecked?" |
42886 | Chinee, is he? |
42886 | Closed, pig? 42886 Did I not tell you that we are the servants of Yu- Hsien? |
42886 | Did n''t you know who I was until we stood together on the watch- tower? |
42886 | Did they know we were coming? |
42886 | Did you see any of the other boys throw anything at him? |
42886 | Do you mean the''Hi- ho''call? |
42886 | Fable? |
42886 | Garnet? |
42886 | Have n''t you just told me all about yourself? |
42886 | Have we? |
42886 | How can you identify them? |
42886 | How did he do that? |
42886 | How did you know? 42886 How did you know? |
42886 | How far is it from Pao- Ting- Fu to Pekin? |
42886 | How far is the line open? |
42886 | How long have you been in this country? |
42886 | How were they killed? 42886 I am told that you speak English; who are you, and why do you come here?" |
42886 | I wonder what Corregidor means? |
42886 | Including members of the legations? |
42886 | Is it possible that you are my own little Rob? |
42886 | Is not the man with the black face, standing by your side at this moment, a foreign devil? |
42886 | Is she pretty? |
42886 | Is there a gentleman by the name of Wang stopping here? |
42886 | Is there any answer, sir? |
42886 | Is this terrible thing the work of the great Boxer? |
42886 | Is this your man, deputy? |
42886 | Is your first name Robert? |
42886 | Like this? |
42886 | Like this? |
42886 | Native of China? |
42886 | Never lived in S----? |
42886 | Not a son of Dr. Mason Hinckley? |
42886 | Not as my guest? |
42886 | Now tell me, Miss Lorimer, what the Chinese boy did all this time? 42886 Oh, he carn''t, carn''t he? |
42886 | Oh, would he? |
42886 | Oh, you''re not going to wait any longer, are n''t you? 42886 Pretty tough- looking characters, are n''t they?" |
42886 | Speaking of the Fourth of July,said Rob,"do you remember that to- morrow is the Fourth?" |
42886 | That well- dressed young fellow? |
42886 | That''s the worst place between here and Pekin, is n''t it? |
42886 | Then what do you say? 42886 Then you are pretty certain that we will go sooner or later?" |
42886 | Then you really are going to Manila? |
42886 | Um,said the other, meditatively;"changed his description, have they? |
42886 | Was it any one you knew? |
42886 | Was that China boy mixed up in it? 42886 Well, my friends, what is it? |
42886 | What could they mean? 42886 What do we care fer him or fer his talk?" |
42886 | What do you fellows want here? |
42886 | What do you mean by abusing him? 42886 What do you mean by wrecked? |
42886 | What do you mean? 42886 What do you mean? |
42886 | What do you mean? |
42886 | What do you propose to do now? |
42886 | What do you want now? |
42886 | What has all this to do with us? |
42886 | What have you been doing there? |
42886 | What is going on here, Constable Jones? 42886 What is it, old man?" |
42886 | What is the meaning of this disgraceful exhibition, Robert? |
42886 | What is the use of running any farther? |
42886 | What is your name? |
42886 | What kind of boys were they? |
42886 | What means of transportation should we have if you did decide to leave, now that the railway is no longer in operation? |
42886 | What name was it? |
42886 | What other damage has been done? |
42886 | What was his crime? |
42886 | What''s the matter with walking around an end of it? |
42886 | What, for instance? |
42886 | What_ do_ you mean? 42886 When will it get me to New York?" |
42886 | Where is his excellency, Yu- Hsien? |
42886 | Where? |
42886 | Who are you? |
42886 | Who is the most popular fellow in Hatton? |
42886 | Who would have thought of his playing into our hands by doing such a fool thing? |
42886 | Who? |
42886 | Why did you not come forward sooner to testify in this case, Miss Lorimer, since you seem so greatly interested in it? |
42886 | Why? |
42886 | Wo n''t you step inside for a cup of tea? |
42886 | Would n''t it just be pie for them to get hold of him, blue dress, pig- tail, and all? |
42886 | Would n''t you rather remain in here and live than go out and meet a certain death? |
42886 | Would you know any of those boys again if you should see them? |
42886 | Yes,chimed in Constable Jones, wrathfully,"what does it mean? |
42886 | Yes; and is n''t it queer that it should be the same as the first two names of the I- Ho- Chuan? |
42886 | You are alive and not harmed? |
42886 | You are sure? |
42886 | You do n''t mean the place where the missionaries were killed the other day? |
42886 | You have n''t seen any missionaries killed, have you? |
42886 | After 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? |
42886 | Are troops on the way?" |
42886 | Are you all mad or drunk with the juice of poppies? |
42886 | Are you going to take her with us to Pekin? |
42886 | Are you willing to return to the mission with an order for its inmates to set out for this place within half an hour?" |
42886 | Are you?" |
42886 | At 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?" |
42886 | But is it any more dreadful than certain things done at fashion''s decree in your own country? |
42886 | But what''s the matter with riding? |
42886 | But wo n''t both of you come to our house for luncheon? |
42886 | But would you dare travel another thousand miles through China, alone, and in view of the rumors of trouble that we have been hearing lately?" |
42886 | But, before I forget to mention it, how would you like to go along with us?" |
42886 | CHAPTER XI ACCEPT A KINDNESS AND PASS IT ALONG"Is it as bad as all that, my boy?" |
42886 | Can not I meditate in peace without being disturbed by the howlings of you swine? |
42886 | Can you let me have one of your men to identify me at the Italian barricade across Legation Street? |
42886 | Can you take them and see that they go light away quick?" |
42886 | Can you tell me by what fluid it has been saturated? |
42886 | Could Rob have reached there in time to become involved in the trouble? |
42886 | Did he not, even when we were strangers, fight to save me from abuse? |
42886 | Did it really occur?" |
42886 | Did you get through to Tien- Tsin? |
42886 | Do n''t yer dare let him out, for fear he''ll get hurted? |
42886 | Do n''t you remember crawling into it last night? |
42886 | Do n''t you remember that I was telling them what Yu- Hsien would do if they interfered with his plans? |
42886 | Do you believe it can be as bad as that, Uncle Will?" |
42886 | Do you happen to know of any one who could give me a job?" |
42886 | Do you hear me, Chink? |
42886 | Do you know what I think? |
42886 | Do you need an introduction?" |
42886 | Do you remember the date, sir, on which you saw them in Hong- Kong?" |
42886 | Do you want the job?" |
42886 | Foreigners expelled Chinese from their countries, so why should not his people in turn expel foreigners from China? |
42886 | Had he enlisted in the army? |
42886 | Has 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?" |
42886 | Have I your permission to question him?" |
42886 | Have n''t you been employed in Charley Wing''s laundry in S----?" |
42886 | How can it be that the gate is closed without orders from me, the keeper of the gate? |
42886 | How dare you come up here without orders? |
42886 | How did you get here? |
42886 | How in the name of--? |
42886 | How in the world did he happen to be on board a transport? |
42886 | How many? |
42886 | I am a student, and--""This is n''t your picture, then?" |
42886 | I wonder if it has become known that we communicated with your mother? |
42886 | If so, was he alive or dead? |
42886 | If you did n''t know that about your family, would n''t you want to go where you could find out?" |
42886 | Instead of shaking each other''s hand and saying"How do you do, Mr. Wang? |
42886 | Is anything the matter with the old packet?" |
42886 | Is it a go, and may we count on you as a fellow- passenger aboard the good old_ Logan_?" |
42886 | Is it not? |
42886 | Is 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?" |
42886 | Is n''t it the greatest bit of luck in the world? |
42886 | Is she a monitor?" |
42886 | Is she alive or dead?" |
42886 | Is the track- repairing car ready, as the governor requested? |
42886 | May I ask where you were born?" |
42886 | May I ask your name?" |
42886 | Run away? |
42886 | Savvy?" |
42886 | Shall we take advantage of the confusion to light out? |
42886 | Should you have known him, papa?" |
42886 | Their names? |
42886 | Then he said:"Did you not know that his excellency Li Ching Cheng had been given a position on the Board of Punishment? |
42886 | Then, again speaking to Jo, he said:"Ask your friend what''s wrong with the road beyond Pao- Ting- Fu?" |
42886 | Was he very fierce, and did he strike at his assailants as if he were trying to kill them?" |
42886 | Was n''t he perfectly splendid? |
42886 | Was n''t she awfully glad to see you when you got back from America?" |
42886 | We certainly have got the old wagon to ourselves now, and the question is, what shall we do with it?" |
42886 | Were the muckers fighting among themselves?" |
42886 | What could it mean? |
42886 | What did they do?" |
42886 | What do you say? |
42886 | What do you say? |
42886 | What do you think? |
42886 | What do you want?" |
42886 | What has happened?" |
42886 | What is your own name?" |
42886 | What time do we start?" |
42886 | What were their names?" |
42886 | What''s the matter? |
42886 | When do you think I can start, Uncle Will? |
42886 | When they reached the parsonage, and Mrs. Hinckley, in the back of the house, heard their voices, she called out:"Is that you, Rob? |
42886 | Where are you staying?" |
42886 | Where is father? |
42886 | Where is she? |
42886 | Where was he now? |
42886 | Where would he go from there? |
42886 | Who are these people, and what do they want?" |
42886 | Who are you? |
42886 | Why do n''t you rush into each other''s arms? |
42886 | Why had their boy gone to Manila? |
42886 | Will you accept the position? |
42886 | Will you and your friend sit down and kindly tell us everything that you know concerning the situation?" |
42886 | Would he find himself fatherless?--or would the dear face still be there with its smiling welcome? |
42886 | Would n''t you like to go aboard and take a look at her?" |
42886 | Yes, is n''t she fine? |
42886 | You wanchee catch one talkee man-- sabe?" |
42886 | You wanchee catchee one piecee dollar? |
42886 | and can I do less for him now that we are friends? |
42886 | and do you think he would harm his own?" |
42886 | and is n''t it fun running off with a locomotive? |
42886 | asked the lieutenant of marines;"and were you ever on board the United States monitor_ Monterey_?" |
42886 | cried Rob;"what shall I do? |
42886 | demanded Jo, fiercely,"and am I not come to prepare the way for him? |
42886 | demanded the startled minister,"and what proof can you give that your astounding statements are true?" |
42886 | exclaimed Rob,"to have them here? |
42886 | gasped Rob, as the friends of our lads gathered about them with congratulations at this happy ending of their troubles;"does he really mean it?" |
42886 | he reflected;"and would n''t he think he''d run up against a war party of American Indians, ready to scalp him? |
42886 | it''s already in the paper, is it? |
42886 | persisted the other, curiously,"and are you very fond of her?" |
42886 | suggested the captain, gravely;"and ca n''t I read''honesty''written on every feature of your face? |
42886 | where are you?" |
47218 | A tumult is heard to the right, in the wings, where more soldiers come on._] EMPRESS Who is there? |
47218 | ARROW- BEARER Have you nothing more to say to me? |
47218 | ARROW- BEARER I dared to raise my voice to give that order----Can I have displeased you? |
47218 | ARROW- BEARER So this is the way you do your work? |
47218 | After all, what have I to risk? |
47218 | Am I not glorious? |
47218 | And once on the ship-- so freighted with your anxiety, do you remember? |
47218 | And then is not one permitted to change one''s mind so near to death? |
47218 | Are you ill? |
47218 | Are you not always the Daughter of the Mings? |
47218 | Are you not lost in any case? |
47218 | Are you satisfied with your government of the South? |
47218 | Are you too proud to name the favour which would please you? |

47218 | But do you believe that I still belong to Earth? |
47218 | But how do you come to have it? |
47218 | But 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? |

47218 | But what may it be? |
47218 | But what was the cause of it? |

47218 | EMPEROR The Pavilion of the Ladies- in- Waiting----So there are also Ladies- in- Waiting here? |
47218 | EMPEROR What matters it what I am? |
47218 | EMPEROR What shall I say to him? |
47218 | EMPEROR Who am I? |
47218 | EMPEROR Who knows? |
47218 | EMPEROR Yes? |
47218 | EMPEROR Yet if he should escape, would I not be lost indeed? |
47218 | EMPEROR You fear what? |
47218 | EMPEROR[ To FOUNT] What makes you so uneasy? |
47218 | EMPEROR[_ After a pause_] And your reply? |
47218 | EMPEROR[_ Handing the child the shuttlecock_] Do you wish to go on with your game? |
47218 | EMPEROR[_ Imploring more insistently_] Sovereign, what if I now were to implore your pardon----the right to remain here and die at your side? |
47218 | EMPEROR[_ In full regalia, his expression sombre_] How many heads did you say had already fallen? |
47218 | EMPEROR[_ To_ FOUNT] Did I acquit myself creditably? |
47218 | EMPRESS A communication? |
47218 | EMPRESS A spy, then, when you came on my Coronation day? |
47218 | EMPRESS Ah, you have them? |
47218 | EMPRESS And a Prince? |
47218 | EMPRESS And by that means should one not at least see a faint glimmer? |
47218 | EMPRESS And shall we have sufficient air in this vault, where sleep our dead? |
47218 | EMPRESS And the rest of the city, the western citadels? |
47218 | EMPRESS And where are they taking him, my son? |
47218 | EMPRESS And you will give it to me? |
47218 | EMPRESS But if I command them!----Am I no longer their Empress? |
47218 | EMPRESS Can you not illumine the darkness? |
47218 | EMPRESS Child, do you not know the history of our race? |
47218 | EMPRESS How do you explain the mystery of that dream which obsesses me? |
47218 | EMPRESS I understand----but now my son, to whom is he to be entrusted? |
47218 | EMPRESS Is it then in my power still to do aught for them? |
47218 | EMPRESS No aid? |
47218 | EMPRESS Not the real Viceroy? |
47218 | EMPRESS Oh, what are you going to say? |
47218 | EMPRESS Our duty longer and more terrible?----Then what do you expect of me? |
47218 | EMPRESS Power speaking to power? |
47218 | EMPRESS To whom shall we entrust this greatest of our treasures? |
47218 | EMPRESS What has happened? |
47218 | EMPRESS What is it now? |
47218 | EMPRESS What matters it now, at the point we have reached? |
47218 | EMPRESS Will it take long? |
47218 | EMPRESS Will you grant me the favour to sleep near him? |
47218 | EMPRESS You swear it? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ At first very slowly, pacing the platform of the throne like one in a dream._] Whither am I going? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ Calm but bewildered_] You? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ Crying aloud_] My son!----It was against my son!----Where is my son? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ Embracing her son_] Yes, but to whom will you now entrust your Emperor? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ Still in great excitement_] And, clothes wherewith to escape through the country where the enemy roams at large? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ To_ GOLDEN LOTUS,_ who is seated to the left, holding in her lap the dying_ ARROW- BEARER''S_ head._] And you, Golden Lotus? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ To_ THE CHILD] Will that please you? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ Very calmly and indifferently_] Is it only that? |
47218 | EMPRESS[_ Very excitedly_] And if the Tartars take us there, if they track us like beasts of the night, hunted into their burrows? |
47218 | FAITHFUL PRINCE But you do not hope to save those of my men who are still alive? |
47218 | FAITHFUL PRINCE Did you succeed in seeing the representative of our enemies, the Viceroy of Nanking? |
47218 | FAITHFUL PRINCE How could I dare? |
47218 | FAITHFUL PRINCE I May I untie them? |
47218 | FAITHFUL PRINCE To see him again? |
47218 | FAITHFUL PRINCE[_ Hiding weapon in her gown_] But how will you be able to use it? |
47218 | FIR- SAPLING Ah, was it like that? |
47218 | FIR- SAPLING What was it? |
47218 | FOUNT And the doctor who is taking care of the mock Emperor-- are you sure of his fidelity? |
47218 | FOUNT Will he know how to play the part which he assumed? |
47218 | FOURTH OFFICER And have you heard the news? |
47218 | FOURTH OFFICER Who? |
47218 | From the usurper to your Sovereign, a communication? |
47218 | GOLDEN LOTUS Doubtless it is unhappy for us that the usurper has made peace---- ARROW- BEARER Who knows? |
47218 | GOLDEN LOTUS What is the meaning of that allusion? |
47218 | GOLDEN LOTUS Will women be present at that? |
47218 | GOLDEN LOTUS[_ to_ ARROW- BEARER] My lord, I heard that you ordered the flowers to be removed----Was I misinformed? |
47218 | Have we time? |
47218 | Have you not approved of my project? |
47218 | He who is coming need not know.... Has the fire darkened my face? |
47218 | How came he to know him? |
47218 | How can you ask? |
47218 | How could I make my escape in the midst of all these wonderful personages? |
47218 | How could he reach him in his quadrupled walls? |
47218 | How many minutes are still left to me? |
47218 | How win the attention of his melancholy idol? |
47218 | I am fighting like them!----And it is he, your phantom Emperor, who dares to send me a message? |
47218 | I divided my last grains of rice this morning with you and my soldiers!----What then? |
47218 | I do not intend to speak of your power over the Emperor----But, defeated and captive, what does it matter? |
47218 | I must go on account of the Tartars? |
47218 | I, your slave, and at this moment one of the first dignitaries of your Court, why am I so insignificant a thing? |
47218 | If not, whence have you come, how, by what witchcraft have you passed these dreadful walls? |
47218 | If one feels like that for no more than a Viceroy, how would it be if one were gazed upon by the Emperor himself? |
47218 | In 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? |
47218 | In 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? |
47218 | In the distance they appear in the twilight like a long black trail---- FAITHFUL PRINCE How far? |
47218 | Instant death to any one who, for any reason whatever, dares to open that door before I sound the gong_ Three Times!_ Is that understood? |
47218 | Is it not punishment enough for you to be the last of all the victims? |
47218 | Is n''t it true, Lee- Phuang? |
47218 | Is not the very idea an insult? |
47218 | Is she alive or dead, free or captive? |
47218 | Is this our reunion beyond the grave? |
47218 | It is the signal, then? |
47218 | Let me be told the truth!----Where is this army? |
47218 | Let us take time to think at least----Or perhaps, since there is such immediate need, you have deceived me, and we are surrounded? |
47218 | Mr. Executioner, do you have to strike very hard to cut off their heads? |
47218 | My life? |
47218 | Never, do you hear? |
47218 | Night continues to fall_] What is it now? |
47218 | No, a great dignitary, then? |
47218 | No, your hard task is not yet completed!---- EMPRESS My task, you say, is not yet completed? |
47218 | Now you will give me my last freedom, will you not? |
47218 | OFFICER For how many minutes? |
47218 | Of what concern to us now are the movements of the Tartars? |
47218 | Only she!---- FOUNT But, as she loved you once---- EMPEROR And to- day must she not hate me? |
47218 | Otherwise you would have been unable to break through their ring of steel----A Tartar, say? |
47218 | SECOND EXECUTIONER[_ To some other women as he points to the prisoners tied to stakes._] What, the second group there? |
47218 | SECOND WOMAN Why not? |
47218 | STRONG- ARM You? |
47218 | Since there is no more hope, of what avail is this final slaughter? |
47218 | So I am running about now, to have more patience later----Do you understand? |
47218 | So you dare to touch me now? |
47218 | TARTAR GENERAL Have you no last desire? |
47218 | TARTAR GENERAL How could that be? |
47218 | TARTAR 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? |
47218 | TARTAR GENERAL What can be done? |
47218 | TARTAR GENERAL What is that? |
47218 | TARTAR GENERAL[_ Advancing quickly_] Who dares to give orders without my consent? |
47218 | THE CHILD Tell me, mother are those men to be put to death? |
47218 | THE CHILD[_ Embracing her_] What? |
47218 | THE OFFICER My lord, when a riot is beginning, is it not my duty? |
47218 | THIRD OFFICER Who? |
47218 | THIRD TARTAR WOMAN And do you suppose they will show her to you? |
47218 | TRANQUIL BEAUTY Have all the invited guests arrived at the Palace? |
47218 | TRANQUIL BEAUTY Is she not the Queen of his heart? |
47218 | TRANQUIL BEAUTY Is the lesson not finished yet? |
47218 | Tell me, it is indeed death which you have given me? |
47218 | The Chief Executioner has given us a few minutes''rest, and we''ve earned it well, have n''t we? |
47218 | The EMPRESS,[_ as the_ LADIES- IN- WAITING_ gather about her._] Who is that man----who is so like a god? |
47218 | The EMPRESS[_ To the_ TARTAR EMPEROR] And you, Prince, do you desire nothing? |
47218 | The poison which you promised lulls one to sleep, does it not? |
47218 | Then I shall empty the cup also soon after you----Do you wish to die? |
47218 | Then what duty remains, I ask you? |
47218 | There is more than enough now to consume my body----Why do you make the fire so large? |
47218 | They are thrown on to their knees at the foot of the throne._ WINGED PRINCE Who are you? |
47218 | To the dead? |
47218 | Under the shadow of that throne from which they would banish me, is not life an unending agony? |
47218 | WINGED PRINCE Where do you come from? |
47218 | WINGED PRINCE Your crime is flagrant and needs no further proof, what have you to say? |
47218 | What are her orders? |
47218 | What can he imagine, do you suppose? |
47218 | What does he desire of me? |
47218 | What does that imply? |
47218 | What duty? |
47218 | What interest would he have in betraying me? |
47218 | What is happening now? |
47218 | Where can we hide? |
47218 | Where is the Tartar army? |
47218 | Where is the body of my little son? |
47218 | Where? |
47218 | Where? |
47218 | Who are you? |
47218 | Who can describe the horror of that indolent stagnation, of that idle solitude? |
47218 | Who can tell me whither I am going, where I shall soon be? |
47218 | Who else then, in the world could it be? |
47218 | Who else would remember me and pay the honours to my spirit? |
47218 | Who has mourned him more than I, excepting only you? |
47218 | Who is the woman, even though she be almost a goddess, who would not yield? |
47218 | Who will dare to doubt? |
47218 | Why am I in his palace, instead of in a prison?----What can he, what dares he hope? |
47218 | Why did I not even dare to ask him, as though to speak of that man to my own child were criminal? |
47218 | Why do the gods permit that in my lofty position, happiness should be almost unrealisable, when murder is so easy? |
47218 | Why has he not informed us? |
47218 | Why is my will barren, when it is so eager to make a path both smooth and glorious for your feet? |
47218 | Why should he appear to me in that hostile and terrible form? |
47218 | Why was I no more offended by that gaze than by the rays of the kindly sun that beat upon my palace? |
47218 | Why? |
47218 | Will you grant me one last favour? |
47218 | You graft the young plant with cockscombs---- COUNCILLOR With cockscombs?----Can it be done? |
47218 | You have already guessed my project, have you not? |
47218 | You have it too, have you not? |
47218 | You have witnessed such a sight? |
47218 | You here?----Dear Prince----Have we then departed this life? |
47218 | You know then who he is? |
47218 | You mean him who presented himself fraudulently as our Viceroy of the South? |
47218 | You remain here, my mother, and where you remain there I must be too.-----Leave my mother on account of the Tartars? |
47218 | You see that he is ill.[_ To the_ EMPEROR] Why are you so pale? |
47218 | You 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? |
47218 | are you not? |
47218 | to the Shades, what can it matter how I use this last flicker of my life, so soon to be extinguished? |
47218 | you ask if I fear? |
39163 | And leave the noble Nicholas to go to the world of spirits alone? 39163 And thy reward, prince?" |
39163 | Are my friends unjust that they will not listen to an injured man, whose injuries may be their own to- morrow? |
39163 | Are the words of the Emperor dirt, that they should have escaped the ears of so small a dog? |
39163 | Are 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? |
39163 | Are we birds, that we can fly? |
39163 | Art thou also a traitor, O Yang? |
39163 | Art 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? |
39163 | Art thou foolish, O Chow, to believe that this eclipse was caused by the effort of a monster dragon to swallow the heavenly luminaries? |
39163 | Art thou then a disciple of the Saviour of mankind, O Ki? |
39163 | But the red- haired barbarians of Formosa, from whom my father has just returned, are they of the same race? |
39163 | By 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?" |
39163 | Can it be under heaven,said he,"that so holy a body should contain so vile a heart? |
39163 | Can the worthy woman aid us? |
39163 | Can these words be true, O Woo? 39163 Cans''t thou be honest and silent as to my visit?" |
39163 | Canst thou swim, O Chow? 39163 Dared the dog say this? |
39163 | Dares the dog so far? |
39163 | Didst thou hear the name, surname, and title of the villain lord, O Chow? |
39163 | Do not the people fear the vengeance of the gods, that they behave thus? |
39163 | Emperor!--what Emperor, thou ox? |
39163 | Even if so much treason existed in my heart, how could so mean a person serve so great a prince? |
39163 | Has the noble mandarin suffered, O worthy man? |
39163 | Has the safety of the pearl of my life been endangered? |
39163 | Has the vile deed been performed? |
39163 | Has the wretched woman no friend who will purchase her? |
39163 | Have we not honored these priests, even to making their chief the president of our high board of mathematics? |
39163 | How came it, O thou great rogue, that the soldiers should repay thy great services with so much ingratitude? |
39163 | How is it possible, O noble Nicholas, that we can pass through the roaring rebels, who are, doubtless, without? |
39163 | How is this possible, thou rogue? |
39163 | How is this? 39163 How is this? |
39163 | How,--what words are these? 39163 If it is adverse?" |
39163 | Is he not the son of the great merchant of the south, who rules the four seas? |
39163 | Is it not a maxim that no effort is hopeless to the brave? |
39163 | Is it not a maxim that wickedness defeats its own ends? |
39163 | Is it possible for a son to forget the slayer of his parent, even if the wound in his face would not betray him? |
39163 | Is it under heaven that thou couldst save the life of the slayer of thy parent? |
39163 | Is my son blind, that he can not see that his parent is a prisoner to these Tartar dogs? |
39163 | Is the boy pirate mad that he dares so insolently presume upon his small services, as to interrupt the course of justice? |
39163 | Is the slave mad, that he dares intrude in this our highest council- chamber? |
39163 | Is 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?" |
39163 | It is a common one,replied the merchant; adding,"but what brings the son of the great merchant to Pekin? |
39163 | It is a pagan doctrine, Chow; but how came you upon yonder perch? |
39163 | It is not under heaven, O princess, that thy slave can have given thee pain? |
39163 | Know any of you the residence of the colao Ki? |
39163 | Knows not the youth that I can slay him as if he were a venomous rat? |
39163 | Let the mean rat rise upon his bamboo legs,said Nicholas; adding,"What has the dog learned of his guests''affairs?" |
39163 | Let the youths follow,said the good- natured Woman; adding,"Whither would they be taken?" |
39163 | May then the illustrious Prince Woo- san- Kwei be found within the palace? |
39163 | May this not be a trap, O my prince, to beguile thy person within reach of the assassin''s dagger? |
39163 | May thy servant inquire the amount of this innkeeper''s debt; for it is fitting that the taxes should be paid? |
39163 | My own seeking, O mighty son of Ming? 39163 Of what enemies does my honorable father speak? |
39163 | See,he added, as Nicholas came by his side,"he is sniffing something good; what can it be?" |
39163 | Shall it go down to posterity that the noble Woo- san- Kwei was the assassin of his parent? |
39163 | Shall we not kill the traitor, who has stolen my beloved mother and the princess? |
39163 | So 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?" |
39163 | Surely my prince lifted his voice in council? |
39163 | Surely the fleet of my father can exterminate these wasps? |
39163 | Surely this is not well, for why need the brave stoop to such villainy? |
39163 | Surely thy servant, who has but just entered the town, can be guilty of no crime? |
39163 | The kingdom- soothing general speaks well, for who is this turbulent lord, and what the value of his services, that he dares be so rebellious? |
39163 | The noble Nicholas has a father? |
39163 | The 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? |
39163 | Then how, thou trembling rogue, couldst thou know it was a princess who spoke? |
39163 | Then the sacrifice was not thine own seeking, my poor fellow? |
39163 | Then why, O my father, were such pauper barbarians permitted to place the soles of their feet on the land of Formosa? |
39163 | Then will not the worthy Sing seek a temple at once? |
39163 | There 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?" |
39163 | Thou art fond of Pekin, Chow? |
39163 | Thou art the son of the good merchant, my correspondent? |
39163 | Thou rascal,said Nicholas; but adding, more prudently,"Canst thou be honest, and serve us?" |
39163 | Thou, then, art the servant of this dog who has profaned the imperial gardens? |
39163 | Thy name, surname, and rank? |
39163 | Truly so; for whose ears could be so dull as not to have drunk in his fame as a wise minister of state? |
39163 | Truly the noble youth does not doubt that the words of his servant are straight? |
39163 | Truly we will do better-- make him useful,said Nicholas; adding,"Is the rogue certain that these soldiers have proceeded to Lao- yang?" |
39163 | Upon what has their wisdom determined, O prince? |
39163 | What answer didst thou make, O Chow? |
39163 | What answer made my honorable father? |
39163 | What are these sad words, O my princess? 39163 What didst thou hear, dog?" |
39163 | What dog''s words are these? 39163 What has the dog of a eunuch to say for intruding in our presence with such matters?" |
39163 | What has the priest of Fo to say to this disgraceful charge? 39163 What mean the dogs? |
39163 | What means the slave? 39163 What means the youth; is he a robber?" |
39163 | What meant the rat by those words? |
39163 | What purchase is this, thou rogue? |
39163 | What rogue is this who dares disturb the quiet of the noble Ki? |
39163 | What sayest the innkeeper? 39163 What says the accuser to these words?" |
39163 | What shall thy servant discover, O brave youth? |
39163 | What 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? |
39163 | What words are these, Chow? |
39163 | What words are these, O Candida? 39163 What words are these, O Chow?" |
39163 | What words are these, O prince? |
39163 | What words are these, O worthy friend? |
39163 | What words are these, my noble parent? 39163 What words are these, thou dog of a bonze?'' |
39163 | What words are these? 39163 What words are these? |
39163 | What words are these? 39163 What words are these? |
39163 | What words are these? |
39163 | What words are these? |
39163 | What 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?" |
39163 | What would the Tartar dogs? |
39163 | What would the nameless night prowlers with the priest of Buddha? |
39163 | When is the next festival, O worthy innkeeper? |
39163 | Where are our wings, O, my master? 39163 Where are we, O Chow?" |
39163 | Who are the dogs? 39163 Who are these vile dogs that are so openly seeking their death?" |
39163 | Who art thou boy; thy name, surname, and from what province? |
39163 | Who cries for help? |
39163 | Who is the vile slave, that he dares disobey the commands of the great Emperor? |
39163 | Who is this dog, that speaks without prostrating his mean person at the feet of justice? |
39163 | Who is thy servant, O noble Nicholas, that he should doubt, when learned mandarins believe? |
39163 | Who, O my brother, is this bold, brave man that thus shakes the world by his power? |
39163 | Why, in the name of the social relations, art thou as dull as a tailless peacock? |
39163 | Why, what words are these? 39163 Will the magnificent fountain of justice give his unworthy servant a private hearing?" |
39163 | Will the ungrateful villains let me die the dog''s death for the want of a cup of water? |
39163 | Will the worthy innkeeper relate the ill- doings that could have brought this good magistrate to misfortune? |
39163 | ''Begone, dog, what wouldst thou do?'' |
39163 | Alone? |
39163 | Are not the physicians of Hang- tcheou famous for their skill?" |
39163 | Are such things possible? |
39163 | Are the dogs tired of their lives, that they venture to make this unseemly uproar within the very hearing of the Son of Heaven himself?" |
39163 | At any? |
39163 | At which the bonze said,"Can not the heavenly eyes of the great prince see that the poor creature is suffering from such violent language? |
39163 | But how wouldst thou know this vile rogue again?" |
39163 | But then the princess could not travel without a female attendant,--and whom could they trust? |
39163 | But who art thou, O my poor youth, who thus seekest certain death by thy presence here?" |
39163 | But why had they not killed him at once? |
39163 | But why then,"she added, bitterly,"has the worthless life of a daughter of his own blood been saved?" |
39163 | Can it be that one so brave on land should be so great a coward upon water?" |
39163 | Can, or can he not, aid me to gain admittance within the palace? |
39163 | Canst thou answer, thou villainous old man?" |
39163 | Do my brothers seek the presence of the great Woo- san- Kwei?" |
39163 | Do the Tartars confer kingdoms upon their prisoners?" |
39163 | Dost thou not know that these are the symbols of the Lord of heaven''s religion?" |
39163 | For 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? |
39163 | Has he no respect for his parents, who will assuredly be punished for their neglect?" |
39163 | Has such villainy taken place in the land?" |
39163 | He grasped his sabre, saying,"What says the slave?" |
39163 | However, the innkeeper addressing him, rudely said,"How is this, that a mere boy should be without the walls at this hour? |
39163 | Is it possible that the Emperor Yong- Li can have left the earth?" |
39163 | Is the Emperor a slave that thou darest so far?'' |
39163 | Like magic they kept my sword suspended midway, and I said,''What words are these, thou dog?'' |
39163 | Need I tell you that the stranger was no other than Chow? |
39163 | Neither 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?" |
39163 | O master, what would become of us all; what would become of day and night without the sun and moon?" |
39163 | Should he comply? |
39163 | Should he give it to Chow? |
39163 | Should he not appear to them in the despicable light of an eaves- dropper? |
39163 | Surely it must be the cabin of a junk-- but what?--whose? |
39163 | Surely the noble Woo presumes upon his age, for has it not been wisely said that the will of the Emperor is omnipotent?" |
39163 | The stanching of the blood, the cold water, and the movement, revived her, when she exclaimed,"This terrible dream-- where am I? |
39163 | Then bitter were the feelings of Nicholas-- for himself? |
39163 | Thou art indeed laughing at thy mistress, for didst thou not say the traitor was in open rebellion?" |
39163 | What could it mean? |
39163 | What could it mean? |
39163 | What could that mean? |
39163 | What grief can come in such a place of repose? |
39163 | What has this most wise maxim to do with thy case, fellow?" |
39163 | What should he do? |
39163 | What was to be done? |
39163 | What was to be done? |
39163 | What words are these?" |
39163 | Where could he be? |
39163 | Who art thou, thou empty rice tub?" |
39163 | Who is this woman?" |
39163 | Why should one complain that he is not more fortunate than the rest?" |
39163 | Why this clatter at our gates when the tribunal is closed?" |
39163 | Will he aid me?" |
39163 | Will their god aid him in the hour of his troubles?" |
39163 | Would he faithfully serve the stranger who has saved his life?" |
39163 | Would the honorable gaolers get some? |
39163 | Yet 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?" |
39163 | did the slave pirate dare to overcome our sea tigers?" |
39163 | does he not know that it is certain death to pass the prohibited wall of the inner palace?" |
39163 | for if thou art not a receiver of stolen things, how camest thou by this kingdom of Fokien? |
39163 | for what reason had they brought him there? |
39163 | of what crime speaks the youth?" |
39163 | of what use is a friend if he will not be serviceable in the hour of need?" |
39163 | replied Nicholas, impatiently; adding,"Hast thou bought the robe?" |
39163 | said Chow, who gazing earnestly in the face of Nicholas, added,"Art thou really a boy or a man of short measure?" |
39163 | said Nicholas; adding,"Is it the will of the princess, to proceed upon her journey?" |
39163 | surely they were not pursued? |
39163 | surely thou art not a Christian, my poor friend, that they should bring thee here?" |
39163 | we are betrayed; what rogue is this?" |
39163 | what dog''s words are these, thou ignorant slave? |
39163 | what means this? |
39163 | what rascality is this? |
39163 | what their names, surnames, and rank?" |
39163 | who art thou, thou terrible man?" |
39163 | would you molest the son of your Emperor, the good prince Yong- Li?" |
10321 | A funny world, ai n''t it? |
10321 | A shadow? 10321 Alone?" |
10321 | And the big characters,she added,"the big characters you tried to hide, are''Kill''and''Burn''?" |
10321 | And the day? |
10321 | And the placard, so finishing, so artistic-- That says? |
10321 | And the theme? |
10321 | And what--the aged voice rose briskly--"what saw you on the waters?" |
10321 | And where did you study? |
10321 | Another,said the girl,"of your heathen stories?" |
10321 | Anything to concern us? |
10321 | Are n''t you coming,called Heywood,"to sit with us awhile?" |
10321 | Are we ready? |
10321 | Are you all excuses, like the others? 10321 Are you dead, then?" |
10321 | Black Dog? 10321 But what can we do? |
10321 | But you are a griffin? |
10321 | Chantel? 10321 Dare what?" |
10321 | Did he mention,said the big padre, presently,"the case against my man, Chok Chung?" |
10321 | Did n''t they just? |
10321 | Did she kill you? |
10321 | Did you catch what she said? 10321 Did you climb into the water- jar, yesterday, before dinner? |
10321 | Dispatches for Rudolph Hackh? |
10321 | Do we play cards,he cried sourly,"or listen to the chatter of senility?" |
10321 | Do you hear, Nesbit? |
10321 | Do you know enough to time a fuse? |
10321 | Do you still think,he answered coldly,"that I would beg off?" |
10321 | Do you? |
10321 | Do? 10321 Do_ you_ dare go to the place I show you, and hide? |
10321 | Dose fellows catch me? |
10321 | Earthquake? |
10321 | Eh, what? 10321 Eng- lish speak I ver''badt,"he whispered; and then with something between gasp and chuckle,"but der_ pak- wa_ goot, no? |
10321 | Escaped? 10321 Extinct? |
10321 | Fair? 10321 Fang?" |
10321 | For the last time,he said:"wo n''t you let me tell him? |
10321 | Goo- moh? 10321 Good?" |
10321 | Heard? 10321 How do you like it, Rudie?" |
10321 | How do you manage all these nice things? |
10321 | How long, Rudie, how long? |
10321 | How many times must I give me orders? |
10321 | How much does he think a man can stand? |
10321 | How shall we know the hour? |
10321 | How''s the fair Bertha?--Mausers all right? 10321 How''s the old forearm I gave you? |
10321 | I am welly? 10321 I do not yet-- Of what?" |
10321 | I mean,Miss Forrester explained, smiling,"it is your first visit to the Far East?" |
10321 | I say, Kneebone, what''s your idea? 10321 I say, what''s the matter one piecee picnic this week? |
10321 | I say,he complained suddenly,"you''re not going to''study the people,''and all that rot? |
10321 | I was naked, and--how ran the lines? |
10321 | I''ll be along, tell her--"Had she better go alone? |
10321 | If I have made my flock a remnant-- aliens-- rejected-- tell me, what shall I do? 10321 Is Hackh there?" |
10321 | Is n''t it just a place to be happy in? |
10321 | Is that not better? |
10321 | Is the water safe? |
10321 | Jolivet''s kids wake you? |
10321 | Life sentence, eh? 10321 Little devil, I always thought-- What''s missing?" |
10321 | Lowdah? |
10321 | Must we take it so very, very hard? |
10321 | My dream, eh, little dog? 10321 No, is she?" |
10321 | No,he cried, with a start:"you have n''t?" |
10321 | Not dead yet, you rascal? |
10321 | Now what does Byron say? |
10321 | Of the world? |
10321 | Oh? |
10321 | Oh? |
10321 | Oh? |
10321 | Old fool and his earnings, eh? 10321 Over where?" |
10321 | Pardon? |
10321 | Pistols? 10321 So you''re there, too, eh? |
10321 | Stores? 10321 Take me-- leave him, if he wo n''t come-- I scolded him-- then the noises came, and we ran--""What boat?" |
10321 | Take only the left half of that word, and what have you? |
10321 | Take,the padre ordered,"this one; left half?" |
10321 | That 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? |
10321 | The best? |
10321 | The good? 10321 The right half?" |
10321 | The very best friend? 10321 This remains the same, does n''t it, for all our troubles?" |
10321 | To the nunnery? |
10321 | Two swords, that''s all? 10321 Was that true?" |
10321 | Was what true? |
10321 | Well? |
10321 | What are you thinking of? |
10321 | What book did you read? |
10321 | What cannon? 10321 What did we promise?" |
10321 | What do you see there? |
10321 | What do you think of it all? |
10321 | What do you think, Gilly? |
10321 | What have you there for us? |
10321 | What is danger? 10321 What is it?" |
10321 | What is your news? |
10321 | What must I choose? |
10321 | What price sympathy on a pagoda? |
10321 | What shall I say? |
10321 | What ship? |
10321 | What the devil are you firing at? |
10321 | What thing you do? |
10321 | What was all true? |
10321 | What would a chap ever do without''em? 10321 What would you give,"he propounded thickly,"for a hay harvest breeze?" |
10321 | What''s that about Rome? |
10321 | What''s this? |
10321 | What''s up, Captain? |
10321 | What''s up? |
10321 | What''s wrong? |
10321 | What,began Rudolph, suddenly, and his voice trembled,"what is your true opinion? |
10321 | What? 10321 Where should all the rats be coming from?" |
10321 | Where''s he taking your Mausers? |
10321 | White Lotus? |
10321 | Who can tell? |
10321 | Who comes? |
10321 | Who poked fun at me, first and last? 10321 Why have you such a sensual face?" |
10321 | Why is your face so green? |
10321 | Why, I think-- it is-- is it not all now the sense- manifest substance of our duty? 10321 Why, where''s the Mem?" |
10321 | Why,continued the examiner,"do you look so happy?" |
10321 | Will you bite the clouds? |
10321 | Will you speak out and live,cried the swordsman,"or will you die?" |
10321 | Without saying good- by? |
10321 | Yes? |
10321 | You have killed him? |
10321 | You old Sly- boots!--But are you sure? 10321 You see at the phosphor, not?" |
10321 | You speak English, I''m sure, do n''t you? |
10321 | You were saying? |
10321 | You''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?" |
10321 | After a pause, he added soberly:--"Images? |
10321 | All zo many shoots,_ kugel_, der bullet,--''_gilt''s mir, oder gilt es dir?_''Men are dead in der Silk- Weafer Street. |
10321 | And by the way, did you make that inventory of provisions?" |
10321 | And come join me in a peg at the club? |
10321 | And did my cook arrive to help yours?" |
10321 | Are the rest coming? |
10321 | Are they?" |
10321 | Are_ you_ married to these people? |
10321 | At last he regained himself, stood quiet, and added very pointedly,"What did_ yow_ lern?" |
10321 | Boats? |
10321 | Bring any new songs out? |
10321 | But was she? |
10321 | But what can you have brought back? |
10321 | But what?" |
10321 | But why come here? |
10321 | But will that stop him? |
10321 | CHAPTER XII THE WAR BOARD"Rigmarole?" |
10321 | Cadging for chow, does one acquire merit?" |
10321 | Can I truly be proud of-- of her?" |
10321 | Can we, now? |
10321 | Come see us, when we''re not so busy? |
10321 | Desert''em? |
10321 | Did you find them? |
10321 | Do n''t you think you have a better?" |
10321 | Do you dare?" |
10321 | Do you hear? |
10321 | Do you know,"his voice rose and quickened,"do you know, the other end of town is in an uproar? |
10321 | Does the knowledge come so cheap, or at a price? |
10321 | Duels? |
10321 | Eh, Heywood?" |
10321 | Eh, what? |
10321 | Eh, what? |
10321 | Eh? |
10321 | Eh? |
10321 | Eh? |
10321 | Eh?" |
10321 | Equal to hauling a sack out? |
10321 | Extinct? |
10321 | Fang, the Sword- Pen, in great favor up there.--What? |
10321 | Fixed ideas, eh? |
10321 | Fixed ideas, eh? |
10321 | For some time again they stood as though listening, till Heywood spoke:--"Holding your own, are you, by the water gate?" |
10321 | Forrester?" |
10321 | Going to stay long?" |
10321 | Hackh?" |
10321 | Have n''t you-- a better friend?" |
10321 | He clapped Rudolph on the arm, and crowed:--"Nunnery? |
10321 | He drained his whiskey and soda, signaled for more, and added:"Were you ever cooped up, yachting, with a chap you detested? |
10321 | He hailed them in a dry voice, and cleared his throat,"Where is she? |
10321 | He snapped the empty shells from his gun, and blew into the breech, before adding,"Would_ you_ mind, then? |
10321 | He stepped lightly across the landing, and called out,"You chaps make yourselves at home, will you? |
10321 | Heywood laughed, and turned his head:--"How much do you know about sieges, old chap?" |
10321 | How ran the verse? |
10321 | I lern moch.--But iss Rome yet a fortify town?" |
10321 | I mean, we ca n''t carry these long faces to the club, can we? |
10321 | I would say-- picturesque, no?" |
10321 | I''ve kept the guns oiled, and will warrant the lot sound.--Now, who''ll lend me spare coolies, and stuff for sand- bags?" |
10321 | In a daze, Rudolph gripped the wet and shining hands, and heard the same quiet voice:"Rest all asleep, I suppose? |
10321 | In the hoary peace of twilight,--"What can_ we_ do here?" |
10321 | Is it?" |
10321 | Is n''t that-- what I call-- being invulnerable? |
10321 | Let you go? |
10321 | Look here"--He held up a tin and scanned the label triumphantly:"Chow de Bruxelles, what? |
10321 | Man,"he cried, in a voice that made Rudolph jump,--"man, why did n''t you stop him? |
10321 | Meantime, you chaps must lend coolies, eh? |
10321 | Meantime,--what do you say, Doctor?--chloride of lime in pots?" |
10321 | Mrs. Forrester? |
10321 | Never saw chow spelt with an''x''before, did ye? |
10321 | Next instant he whirled on Rudolph in fury.--"Is this a game, or Idiot''s Joy?" |
10321 | Nothing else to do, is there?" |
10321 | Now please, wo n''t you listen to my advice? |
10321 | O heh!--O ha? |
10321 | One leg at a time?" |
10321 | Or do you dare?" |
10321 | Phew!--Oh, I say, what did they mean? |
10321 | Pink Pagoda, eh? |
10321 | Poor chap, he''ll never ask you to return them.--Anything else?" |
10321 | Rather neat, what? |
10321 | Rudie: are you game for something rather foolhardy? |
10321 | Rudie? |
10321 | See those bead eyes watching us, eh? |
10321 | She moved away, carrying her medicines, but paused in the door, smiled back at him as from a crypt, and said:--"Have_ you_ been hurt?" |
10321 | She''s resting.--I hope we''ve not delayed the concert?" |
10321 | Shot- guns? |
10321 | Sniping all night, will it be?--or shall we get a fair chance at''em?" |
10321 | Some are marked for you, and the rest-- will you send them Home, please?" |
10321 | Still, what had he expected? |
10321 | Sturgeon, Teppich, Padre, Captain? |
10321 | Such a nasty little-- Why did-- What do you propose doing with it?" |
10321 | The joke is now on the merchant, eh?" |
10321 | The merchant?" |
10321 | The voice, level and ironic, was that of Fang, the Sword- Pen:--"O Fragrant Ones, when shall the foreign monsters perish like this cock?" |
10321 | Then your name''s-- what is it again?--Hackh, is n''t it? |
10321 | They kept asking,''Do you follow the foreign dogs and goats?'' |
10321 | Think I carry ships in my pocket?" |
10321 | Think you these things are but still to come? |
10321 | Thorough, rather? |
10321 | To- morrow will do.--Have you any money on you? |
10321 | Tough as ever? |
10321 | Was there a German mail- boat? |
10321 | Was there a club, from which he had stolen out while she wept, ignominiously, in that girl''s arms? |
10321 | We''ll just make it a holiday, catchee good time.--What? |
10321 | What Black Dog is to bark?" |
10321 | What can we do here?" |
10321 | What could he know, this airy, unfeeling meddler, so free with his advice and innuendo? |
10321 | What did I come so many hundred miles for? |
10321 | What did you do then?" |
10321 | What had loosed the bond, swept away all the effects? |
10321 | What have we? |
10321 | What is it?" |
10321 | What presence could lurk there? |
10321 | What price fixed ideas now?" |
10321 | What shall I do?" |
10321 | What was the use now, he thought indignantly, of all their watching and fighting? |
10321 | What''s your plan?" |
10321 | What?" |
10321 | What?" |
10321 | When dey shoot him off?" |
10321 | When you did-- that, for me, yesterday, did n''t it seem different and rather splendid, and-- like a book?" |
10321 | Where the devil does Maurice Heywood live?" |
10321 | Where''s Bertha Forrester?" |
10321 | Where''s my cap?" |
10321 | Where''s my wife?" |
10321 | Whim? |
10321 | Who always came out aboard to tell me what an old ass I was? |
10321 | Who was Christian? |
10321 | Who''d have thought? |
10321 | Who''s afraid? |
10321 | Why Must life bear all away, Away, away, Ah, my beloved, why?" |
10321 | Why did you ever let me come back? |
10321 | Why not stay, and learn more?" |
10321 | Wish I carried some money: this chit system is damnable.--Meanwhile, doctor, wo n''t you forget anything I was rude enough to say? |
10321 | With a stick and a handkerchief, he twisted on a tourniquet, muttering condolence:"Pain much? |
10321 | Wo n''t you? |
10321 | Would that answer, he wondered, be a month, a week, to- morrow? |
10321 | You and I are just--"She broke off, humming:--"Only here and now? |
10321 | You can''t-- What did you mean?" |
10321 | You did n''t say, but-- She made no attempt to come here? |
10321 | You do n''t care? |
10321 | You do n''t speak the language? |
10321 | You know this sign?" |
10321 | You were joking? |
10321 | You''ll find the dipper more handy.--How did you ever manage? |
10321 | he scolded, as though addressing a horse; then growled in Heywood''s ear,"Why did_ you_ go lose your temper?" |
10321 | it''s you, is it? |
18674 | A charm, eh? 18674 Ah,"he said, looking the great cat straight in the eye,"you have come to eat me, have you? |
18674 | All 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?" |
18674 | Am I to be changed into a bird? |
18674 | And I shall never again have to beg for crusts on the street? |
18674 | And are you sure of this wondrous beauty you describe so prettily? |
18674 | And has this gracious goddess brought sunshine into your life, my pretty one? |
18674 | And is it far? |
18674 | And there were only fourteen then? |
18674 | And 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?" |
18674 | And where are you going, Lu- san, now that you have left your father? 18674 And where do you live?" |
18674 | And yet, nephew, you think this fellow is really peaceably inclined and is not coming among us as a spy? |
18674 | Are n''t you afraid of Blackfoot? |
18674 | Are n''t you even going to give him a scolding? |
18674 | Are there not moments when you would prefer to be a man? |
18674 | Are you mad from hunger, or have you caught another flea? |
18674 | Are you quite sure there was not some friend of the miser''s spending the night with him? |
18674 | Are you speaking of Su- nan? |
18674 | But did n''t he live here, too? |
18674 | But did n''t it kill me? |
18674 | But did you count them again last night? |
18674 | But how can_ I_ help to punish the Emperor? |
18674 | But how shall you get the tablet off your back? |
18674 | But what about you, my boy? 18674 But what am I to do?" |
18674 | But when was it, little one, that they did this? |
18674 | But, father,persisted the boy,"have n''t you forgotten? |
18674 | But, mother, what has this brass bauble to do with the dumplings, these wonderful pork dumplings, the finest I ever ate? |
18674 | But, woman, are you mad? |
18674 | Ca n''t be found? 18674 Can a carpenter make shoes?" |
18674 | Can you think of nothing else? |
18674 | Ch''ang,he asked,"what was it you called your guest when you spoke of her a minute ago?" |
18674 | Count you? |
18674 | Did you not find the fruit we told you about? |
18674 | Did you not know it? 18674 Did you not say it was a tiger that killed your son? |
18674 | Do n''t want me to go, eh? 18674 Do n''t you see me swimming? |
18674 | Do you indeed? |
18674 | Do you not know me, father? 18674 Do you remember me?" |
18674 | Does he have a fire in cold weather? |
18674 | Doing about it, sir? 18674 First of all, are you willing to help me bring good fortune back to our family?" |
18674 | First tell me what good fairy of a rich man has been filling our hands with silver? |
18674 | Forgive me, kind sir, but what have you done to my master? |
18674 | Going? 18674 Have you come here to laugh at our misfortunes?" |
18674 | Have you suffered many a cruel pain since you were snatched away so suddenly? 18674 Help to devour myself, eh?" |
18674 | How long? |
18674 | How many have you? |
18674 | I know you are telling the truth,wailed Wang,"but how, oh, how can I ever work with all these feathers sticking out of me? |
18674 | I wonder if I dare? |
18674 | I? 18674 If he asks even a peach, how can you refuse and at the same time save your face?" |
18674 | Is he nothing but a cry- baby? |
18674 | Is that true? |
18674 | It takes me back to my boyhood,he cried,"why, oh why, is it not the fashion to swim? |
18674 | Just 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? |
18674 | May I try it now? |
18674 | Now what is the silly boy blubbering about? |
18674 | Now, old woman, are you satisfied? |
18674 | Now, what do you propose doing about it? |
18674 | Oh, can you not, good fairy, will you not restore my parents and brothers, and give them another chance to be good and useful people? |
18674 | Oh, that was it, hey? 18674 Oh, who has brought this woe upon us?" |
18674 | So I am the tiger- forest, am I? |
18674 | Then he is your husband? |
18674 | Then, are you indeed contented with your lot? |
18674 | Tiger,said he, turning toward the prisoner,"did you eat the woodman whom you are charged with killing?" |
18674 | Well, that''s rather strange for a miser, do n''t you think? |
18674 | Well, what''s your business, friend Wang? 18674 Well, you did n''t forget me, did you?" |
18674 | What am I doing now? |
18674 | What are they? 18674 What are you doing in my bedroom and who is this child who seems so frightened?" |
18674 | What are you doing, Daddy? |
18674 | What can those queer- looking papers be? |
18674 | What do they care for a man when he is sick? |
18674 | What do you know about success and failure? 18674 What do you mean, fellow?" |
18674 | What do you mean? |
18674 | What do you suggest? |
18674 | What does this mean? |
18674 | What have we to gain by deceit, we who have performed our miracles before the countless hosts of yonder Western Heaven? |
18674 | What is a sin, Daddy? |
18674 | What is it, father? 18674 What is the matter, old woman? |
18674 | What killed you, foolish boy? 18674 What kind of bird is that yonder in the sky?" |
18674 | What shall we command them to do? |
18674 | What time do you suppose I have for Classics? 18674 What trick is this you have played on me, masters? |
18674 | What use, what use? 18674 What will he say if he finds us here?" |
18674 | What''s the matter? 18674 What, masters, a peach?" |
18674 | What,shouted the other,"you say I am still young?" |
18674 | Whatever is the matter with you? |
18674 | When will it be finished? |
18674 | Where am I? |
18674 | Where are we? |
18674 | Where are you going? |
18674 | Where is the beginning of the world? |
18674 | Who can be knocking in that fashion? |
18674 | Who has done this great evil? 18674 Who knows a man by what he wears, By what he says or by his prayers? |
18674 | Whom have you here, my lad? |
18674 | Why did n''t you say something about it before? |
18674 | Why did you laugh? 18674 Why do n''t you flee the country?" |
18674 | Why do they have a turtle? 18674 Why is it that the gods have not given me a taste of duck during the past year? |
18674 | Why 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? |
18674 | Why, surely you ca n''t help me to earn a living? |
18674 | Why, what''s the matter? 18674 Why, you old goose, do n''t you know what a fairy is?" |
18674 | Will it be the largest in the world? |
18674 | Yes, but in what a shape? |
18674 | You 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?" |
18674 | You? |
18674 | ''What do I care for a spirit that lives on my father''s land?'' |
18674 | A duck''s a duck, is n''t it, and surely you would like to know how you lost it?" |
18674 | After all, what was a hook to a fish when he was dying? |
18674 | And Kwan- yu-- what of Kwan- yu, the frantic father? |
18674 | And besides, would not all the other villagers be hungry, too? |
18674 | And is not every lad in China taught to honour his ancestors? |
18674 | And what could he do if he did find you? |
18674 | And why not? |
18674 | Are not the daughters of our nation often wedded long before they reach that age? |
18674 | Are not the wise men always saying that study brings its own reward? |
18674 | Are those big eyes of yours made of glass?" |
18674 | Are you ill?" |
18674 | Are you never coming to the hero of this tale?" |
18674 | Are you not afraid to be alone here at night on the bank of this great river?" |
18674 | Are you ready?" |
18674 | As a cannon- maker you are successful, but who can say about the other task? |
18674 | As 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? |
18674 | As you have n''t a sign of a scale, how will people judge you? |
18674 | As you look back through your wicked lives can you think of any reason why you deserved this rescue? |
18674 | But surely you would not have a labourer do more than his employer requires? |
18674 | But we must hurry on with our story, or some of our readers will be asking,"But where is Dr. Dog? |
18674 | But what will become of the real me? |
18674 | But, here we are, and that is enough, is n''t it, enough for any one? |
18674 | Ca n''t you recognise your old friend? |
18674 | Can it be that you do not know my rank? |
18674 | Ch''ang was staring at her with wide- open frightened eyes that seemed to be asking,"What can it all mean? |
18674 | Could he have heard correctly? |
18674 | Could his eyes be deceiving him? |
18674 | Could it be possible that they would soon be living in it? |
18674 | Could it be that the turtle would carry him beyond the forest? |
18674 | Could it really be that the old family property would be given back to his father? |
18674 | Could the priest have told the truth? |
18674 | Did his ears deceive him? |
18674 | Did they try to restore them to his people?" |
18674 | Did you not say that you came from the land of dreams? |
18674 | Do n''t you know it is the custom now to put prisoners on their honour? |
18674 | Do n''t you know this is not the proper place for you?" |
18674 | Do n''t you know what the Classics say about such rudeness?" |
18674 | Do n''t you wish it was yours?'' |
18674 | Do you know where she hides it?" |
18674 | Do you not know that when she cries the gods themselves are weeping?''" |
18674 | Do you remember now, my child?" |
18674 | Do you think it possible that he could change me in some manner into a fish and accept me as a subject?" |
18674 | Do 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? |
18674 | Do you think them suitable to protect you from cold and sickness? |
18674 | Do you wish to enter the doors of a convent where women say farewell to life and all its pleasures? |
18674 | For what strange reason, however, did the gods write this beggar''s name on the stone?" |
18674 | Had Wang discovered the absence of his employer? |
18674 | Had he been dreaming? |
18674 | Has old Black Heart been beating you?" |
18674 | Has your life been filled with sorrow?" |
18674 | Have you not been whipped and punished all your life? |
18674 | Have you nothing new with which to regale my guests on this holiday?" |
18674 | How can a tiger be brought to justice? |
18674 | How can they afford such eating?" |
18674 | How can you say so? |
18674 | How could he say it was my fault?" |
18674 | How then did you learn to look with love at those in tears?" |
18674 | How to get something to eat? |
18674 | Hurt a neighbour''s feelings just for a duck? |
18674 | I will bring it to you in a jiffy, but how shall we exist when our charm is gone? |
18674 | If they should come here, what must I do?" |
18674 | Is it strange that they did not have hearts full of pity for you when you looked like a beggar?" |
18674 | Is that the moon rising over yonder? |
18674 | Is there not one little deed of goodness that was not selfish? |
18674 | Is this an age when old men are good for nothing?" |
18674 | May n''t we keep our sins a little longer?" |
18674 | My darling daughter, where have you been all these years?" |
18674 | No matter if the dragon does think he can fly faster, I beat him, did n''t I? |
18674 | Of 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? |
18674 | Oh, how can he cross over?" |
18674 | See the point, eh? |
18674 | Shall I have to be a fox and look like you?" |
18674 | Should he sell his last outer garment for a few pennies and buy millet for her? |
18674 | Surely you would n''t wish them to burn your father''s tablet?" |
18674 | The greybeard bent over until his mouth was at Ying- lo''s ear:"Did you ever see me before?" |
18674 | Then, as the fever began to rise again, he sprang up with a determined cry,"What am I waiting for? |
18674 | There are talking birds and talking beasts for that matter; but talking fish, who ever heard of such a wonder? |
18674 | To cure my daughter?" |
18674 | True, he had been able to produce the magic peach which the mandarin had called for, but his son, where was his son? |
18674 | Was that a servant calling? |
18674 | Were all his hopes to be suddenly dashed by the failure of the metals to mix and harden properly? |
18674 | Were the gods, in answer to his prayer, sending fire to burn the vessel? |
18674 | Were your mistress''s ancestors followers of the sage?" |
18674 | What are you doing inside the temple in the dirt? |
18674 | What can you be talking about? |
18674 | What could have taken place while he was sleeping? |
18674 | What do you know about water? |
18674 | What do you say to going with me then? |
18674 | What do you think of that for honour, Sir Rat? |
18674 | What does he care if I die of a raging fever? |
18674 | What does he care if I pass away? |
18674 | What have I done to be thus denied?" |
18674 | What is the world coming to?" |
18674 | What is to prevent my getting my freedom this very night? |
18674 | What kind of food is your master eating now, that you should be so round and plump when I am thin and scrawny?" |
18674 | What must I do to save my family? |
18674 | What power is it that has saved you from his clutches? |
18674 | What reason have you for wanting to see me weighed down here all the rest of my life with a mountain on my back? |
18674 | What say you, will you accept my offer?" |
18674 | What wonderful discovery have you made-- that every rat has one tail?" |
18674 | What would you do if you really lived here always?" |
18674 | What would you do to keep yourself from starving? |
18674 | When heaven itself has commanded, what can even a princess do but listen to that power which rules the earth?" |
18674 | When others work, why do you lie down and sleep your time away? |
18674 | When would you find them away from home, now that they do n''t have to work any more? |
18674 | Where did you learn so much?" |
18674 | Where should you think I would want to go after my century in prison? |
18674 | Where was he going, and what should he do? |
18674 | Who knows but that they have sent this flock thinking I would have sense enough to grab one? |
18674 | Who now will look after my grave when I am gone?" |
18674 | Who will take care of me in my old age? |
18674 | Why be a coward? |
18674 | Why did you come to see me at all if you thought I did not know you were guilty?" |
18674 | Why do n''t you get up and shake your lazy legs? |
18674 | Why do you make a poor man like me run his legs off for nothing on a hot day?" |
18674 | Why do you raise such an uproar in front of my yamen? |
18674 | Why do you speak of it?" |
18674 | Why have the gods treated me in this cruel way?" |
18674 | Why is it that other people have all the luck? |
18674 | Why is it that to- day you try to get out of your promise? |
18674 | Why not a lion or an elephant?" |
18674 | Why not order her father to bring her to the palace that you may we d her and place her in your royal dwelling?" |
18674 | Why not tell him that old Sen stole his duck, and get him to give Sen a scolding? |
18674 | Why, are you not eighteen? |
18674 | Wo n''t they save you the trouble of wearing clothing?" |
18674 | Would he sound the alarm, and would the whole place soon be alive with men searching for the fever- stricken patient? |
18674 | Would his father come and find out what had happened? |
18674 | Would that not be quite contrary to the teachings of our fathers? |
18674 | Would those three minutes never pass? |
18674 | You are a pretty fellow to be complaining, are n''t you?" |
18674 | You are the same fellow that carried off the woodman last month, are n''t you? |
18674 | You remember all our big dinners that came from the pot? |
18674 | _ your_ father helped make the world?" |
18674 | and all over your body? |
18674 | but did n''t I do a great trick? |
18674 | do n''t you count your old grand- daddy? |
18674 | looking for you in the ashes? |
18674 | losing a duck? |
18674 | said the dog angrily,"what did I tell you? |
18674 | said the small man, laughing,"so you thought you''d bury your old grandfather in feathers, did you? |
18674 | shall you leave us?" |
18674 | she cried,"of what use is it to live? |
18674 | so it''s because I make you a good playmate, eh? |
18674 | they laughed;"do you know what you have done?" |
18674 | what ever shall we do?" |
18674 | what honour has a rat?" |
18674 | what''s that?" |
18674 | what''s the matter, man?" |
18674 | why do n''t you let me out? |
18674 | why had he not asked the friendly nephew a few simple questions? |
18674 | would you hesitate between love upon a throne and death? |
18674 | would you lay your wicked hands on one who made the tears of Kwan- yin flow? |
18674 | you think old Sen is a thief, do you, and that he has been stealing from me?" |
5173 | Do the inanimate preach the Doctrine? |
5173 | How art thou going to encounter it? |
5173 | How can you turn Self into the phenomenal universe? |
5173 | How do you display your supernatural powers? |
5173 | How do you, sir,questioned the monk,"teach about that?" |
5173 | I have been reciting the sacred Canon, why do you not see? 5173 Is there not anything good in the worshipping of the Buddha?" |
5173 | Let go of that, I say,the Muni commanded again; but the Brahmin, having nothing to let go of, asked:"What shall I let go of, Reverend Sir? |
5173 | Obak said:''How dares this lunatic come into my presence and play with a tiger''s whiskers?'' 5173 Then who is that confronts us?" |
5173 | What doctrine do the masters of the South teach? |
5173 | What has brought you here? |
5173 | What have I to do when death takes the place of life? |
5173 | What is the best way of living for us monks? |
5173 | What is the spiritual body of Buddha who is immortal and divine? |
5173 | What is, reverend sir,asked a man of Chao Cheu( Jo- shu),"the holy temple( of Buddha)?" |
5173 | What is, sir,asked a monk to Yen Kwan( Yen- kan),"the original body of Buddha Vairocana? |
5173 | Who are you,demanded the Fifth Patriarch,"and whence have you come?" |
5173 | Who can hear them? |
5173 | Who is the master of the temple? |
5173 | Why, 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 | ''There are nettles everywhere, but are not smooth, green grasses more common still?'' |
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?'' |
5173 | A man asked Chang Sha( Cho- sha):"How can you turn the phenomenal universe into Self?" |
5173 | A man asked Poh Chang( Hyaku- jo):"How shall I learn the Law?" |
5173 | A monk, Hwui Chao( E- cha) by name, asked Pao Yen( Ho- gen):"What is Buddha?" |
5173 | Again, if there be nothing real in the universe, what is it that causes unreal objects to appear? |
5173 | Again, if there be nothing real in the universe, what is it that causes unreal objects to appear? |
5173 | Are the stars too distant? |
5173 | Are there not holy men, Holy Truths, Holy Paths stated in the scriptures? |
5173 | Are there not many who are rich without any virtues, while some are poor in spite of their virtues? |
5173 | Are there not the humane, who die young, while the inhuman enjoy long lives? |
5173 | Are there not the unjust who are fortunate, while the just are unfortunate? |
5173 | Are we doomed to be victims for the jaws of the environment? |
5173 | Are we not endowed with inner force to fight successfully against obstacles and difficulties, and to wrest trophies of glory from hardships? |
5173 | Are we to be slaves to the vicissitudes of fortune? |
5173 | But are your beliefs, we should ask, based on historical fact? |
5173 | But as soon as they withdraw into themselves and ask themselves,''Am I now happy?'' |
5173 | But is there inner life expressed, or possible to be expressed, in any other form save physical organism? |
5173 | By what authority does he declare all this meritless? |
5173 | Can a superior man be without the feeling of shame to such an extent as this?'' |
5173 | Can you assert that those traditions which deify Mohammed and Shakya are the statements of bare facts? |
5173 | Can you cause things to fall off the earth against the law of gravitation? |
5173 | Can you not recognize something undisturbed and peaceful among disturbance and trouble? |
5173 | Can you realize that death, which you have yet no immediate experience of, is the greatest of evil? |
5173 | Can you recognize something awe- inspiring in the rise and fall of nations? |
5173 | Can you say that such traditional and self- contradictory records as the four gospels are history in the strict sense of the term? |
5173 | Can you thus prove that you- in- yourself exist beyond or behind you? |
5173 | Confucius replied:''What words are these? |
5173 | Could there be any meat that is not fresh in my shop?'' |
5173 | Do n''t you see?" |
5173 | Do they denote or connote anything? |
5173 | Do you bear the trumpet call? |
5173 | Do you feel the earth tremble? |
5173 | Do you not need to mitigate the struggle for existence more sanguine than the war of weapons? |
5173 | Do you not shed tears over those hunger- bitten children who cower in the dark lanes of a great city? |
5173 | Do you not sympathize with poverty- stricken millions living side by side with millionaires saturated with wealth? |
5173 | Do you not want to do away with the so- called armoured peace among nations? |
5173 | Do you not wish to put down the stupendous oppressor-- Might- is- right? |
5173 | Does He not give new forms to His design? |
5173 | Does He not show us new materials for His building? |
5173 | Does He not surprise us with novelties, extraordinaries, and mysteries? |
5173 | Does not even a stone tell the mystery of Life? |
5173 | Does this not amount to your stealing the annual salary from your lord?" |
5173 | Does, then, Zen use no scripture? |
5173 | For what purpose is your question? |
5173 | For whose sake should he take life,[FN#350] or commit theft, or give alms, or keep precepts? |
5173 | For whose sake, then, should he be lustful or angry? |
5173 | Has it a form? |
5173 | Has not art found that she is beautiful? |
5173 | Has not each of us a light within him, whatever degrees of lustre there may be? |
5173 | Has not even grass some meaning? |
5173 | Has not philosophy announced that she is spiritual? |
5173 | Has not religion proclaimed that she is good? |
5173 | Has not science proved that she is truthful? |
5173 | Has there been any paramour who disgraced himself that lie might help his neighbours? |
5173 | Has there been any traitor who performed the ignoble conduct to promote the welfare of his own country or society at large? |
5173 | Has there been anyone who committed theft that he might further the interests of his villagers? |
5173 | Has, then, the divine nature of Universal Spirit been completely and exhaustively revealed in our Enlightened Consciousness? |
5173 | Have we not hundreds of thousands of life- long slaves to gold among us? |
5173 | Have we not myriads of lifelong slaves to vanity among us? |
5173 | Have we not thousands of life- long slaves to spirits among us? |
5173 | Have we not, nevertheless, hundreds of life- long slaves to cigars among us? |
5173 | He replied:''What profession is there which has not its principles? |
5173 | How can he be so? |
5173 | How can it, by coming quickly into the eyes and ears, distinguish the pleasing from the disgusting in external objects? |
5173 | How can such a person be the master of things? |
5173 | How can the divine law of causality be so unreasonable? |
5173 | How can the spirits of the past always live in a crowd? |
5173 | How can there be reward for the good( as it is taught in your sacred books),[FN#315] that Heaven blesses the good and shows grace to the humble? |
5173 | How can this one put the others in motion, or communicate with them, in order to co- operate in producing Karma? |

23493 | Of a very particular friend? |
23493 | Of course I am-- don''t you see me? |
23493 | Of course, of course, but_ how_? 23493 Oh, sir,"she said,"would you like a cup of tea?" |
23493 | Or that noo helmet wi''the speakin''-toobe made by Denayrouze and Company, an''this dress made by the same? |

23493 | Please, 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?" |
23493 | Possible? 23493 Secure him with ropes, then,"returned the captain;--"where is Mr Berrington?" |
23493 | So, sir, it seems that you''ve set your heart on learning something of everything? |

23493 | That''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?" |
23493 | That-- 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? |
23493 | The native policeman has told me all about your friends-- I understand them to be such? |
23493 | Then you''ve fairly hauled down the enemy''s colours and hoisted those of the Lord? |
23493 | They''ve got lots of captives aboard, I suppose? |
23493 | Was any one wounded-- k- killed? |
23493 | Was you bred to any trade? |
23493 | We are not far from the coast of China, are we? |
23493 | We should be rather badly off without tea, and silk, and spices, and such things-- should n''t we? |

23493 | Wrong? |
23493 | Wrong? |
23493 | Ye do n''t main it? 23493 Yes, Miss?" |
23493 | Yes, do you know her? |
23493 | You are the captain of this schooner? |
23493 | You bring a message, I see? |
23493 | You had to fight, I suppose? |
23493 | You will believe what she herself says, I suppose? |
23493 | Your missus then? |
23493 | Your name? |
23493 | _ Did_ we make haste to be rich? |
23493 | ` Taken at the_ flood_,''is it not, papa? |
23493 | A piece of bun? |
23493 | Aileen,"she continued, with sudden anxiety,"are there not serpents in these woods?" |
23493 | An''if you go down to twenty- five fathoms, or 150 feet, which is often done, what must the pressure be there?" |
23493 | And if he was not ignorant, would he have passed over such means in silence? |
23493 | And now, Joe, what is it that you want?" |
23493 | And were not diamonds of the purest water dropping at that moment from her down- cast eyes? |
23493 | And you did not come to see me till now?" |
23493 | And, please, ma''am, would you like a cup of tea?" |
23493 | Are you all right?" |
23493 | Are you game to go?" |
23493 | Besides, I have taken a fancy to see something of foreign parts before settling down vigorously to my profession, and--""Well?" |
23493 | But how can we describe what followed? |
23493 | But what are you goin''to do, sir?" |
23493 | But what does they do? |
23493 | But who are these?" |
23493 | But why do you hold so low an opinion of him?" |
23493 | Can you climb?" |
23493 | Can you tell me where I am likely to find one, or can you recommend one?" |
23493 | Come; who has got the heart to do a gallant deed, and save these women and children?" |
23493 | Could it be a rock? |
23493 | D''ee hear?" |
23493 | D''ee understand?" |
23493 | D''you understand me?" |
23493 | David Maxwell can finish the job you had in hand,--speakin''of that, does any one know where David is just now?" |
23493 | Did 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? |
23493 | Did she say when she would be home?" |
23493 | Did you feel it? |
23493 | Do n''t you remember that this is the evening of the day in which we attacked the Malay pirates long ago?" |
23493 | Do n''t you think so?" |
23493 | Do n''t you think you''d better come up?" |
23493 | Do the prospects and terms suit, and will you come without delay? |
23493 | Do you accept that situation?" |
23493 | Do you happen to know what takes him so far from home?" |
23493 | Do you know his name?" |
23493 | Do you know much about the poor and their miseries?" |
23493 | Do you know what that means? |
23493 | Do you not think it probable that the air- tube may burst a second time?" |
23493 | Do you remember her sister? |
23493 | Do you wish me to wait, ma''am?" |
23493 | Done it already?" |
23493 | Eager inquiries followed--"What''s that? |
23493 | Goin''to fast to- morrow, eh? |
23493 | Got everything you want?" |
23493 | Had n''t we better haul''i m up, sir?" |
23493 | Have you anything to say to me before I go?" |
23493 | Have you forgotten all about it?" |
23493 | Hazlit? |
23493 | Hear it? |
23493 | How comes it, Pungarin, that you are so far from your own waters? |
23493 | How much did you say the total is, Mister Eddy?" |
23493 | How, for instance, is a man of my size to squeeze through that hole at the top?" |
23493 | I am_ so_ overjoyed to see you; you have business to transact eh?" |
23493 | I know you would like it-- would like being with me, would n''t you?" |
23493 | I was going to say--""Have you enough cream? |
23493 | If 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? |
23493 | If it''s not takin''too great a liberty, Mister Edgar, may I ask what she''s like?" |
23493 | If you do n''t quiet yourself, I''ll chuck you overboard-- d''ee hear?" |
23493 | Impossible, surely?" |
23493 | Indeed, I know that I am, but, then, have not my worst fears been realised? |
23493 | Is it necessary to say that both arrangements were found, in course of time, to answer admirably? |
23493 | Is n''t it strange that I''m so fond of you? |
23493 | Is n''t it the fulfilment of your grandmother''s owld prophecy, that you''d come to a bad ind at last? |
23493 | Look at your brother Ram, now; why do n''t''ee take example by him?" |
23493 | Meanwhile, who is this?" |
23493 | Miss Hazlit, is_ that_ her name?" |
23493 | Molly dimpled her cheeks with a smile as she held up the glass, and said,"Are ye ready?" |
23493 | Molly gave one pull at the life- line,"All right?" |
23493 | Mr Berrington, what_ is_ the matter with papa?" |
23493 | My man, how came_ you_ here?" |
23493 | Need we say that the sea is at the bottom of it? |
23493 | No, no, no,"said Miss Pritty, peeping out again;"how could you bring these dreadful creatures to my remembrance so abruptly? |
23493 | No? |
23493 | No? |
23493 | No? |
23493 | Not being a man of rapid thought he changed the subject:--"You are a diver, you say?" |
23493 | Not bin wounded, I hope, sir?" |
23493 | Not unwell, I trust? |
23493 | Nothink at all? |
23493 | Off with his mouth- piece,"cried Baldwin, kneeling on the writhing diver;"why, what''s wrong, Jem?" |
23493 | On the contrary, we have been remarkably well treated-- what do you say? |
23493 | Or to live on stooed hatmospheric hair with your own sauce for gravey-- hey?" |
23493 | Or what if an earwig shud chance to have got inside this iron pot, and take a fancy to go into my ear?" |
23493 | Pungarin, my excellent friend,"exclaimed the Jew, extending his hand, which the skipper merely condescended to touch,"how do you do? |
23493 | Rooney, who carried his shoulders, took occasion to say while on the way down:--"David, boy, did ye find anny treasure?" |
23493 | Shall you?" |
23493 | She said this with an expression of such awful solemnity that Aileen could not forbear smiling as she asked--"Did you see any?" |
23493 | Then he took the slate, obliterated the information on it, and printed in an equally bold, but very sprawly hand:--"Indeed? |
23493 | There is a newspaper, to look-- no-- where is it? |
23493 | This check induced the following ideas--"What if I shud want to scratch me head or blow me nose? |
23493 | This here toobe, made of indyrubber, d''ee see? |
23493 | Was not her hair golden and her skin alabaster? |
23493 | We must always reply to each other, d''ee see? |
23493 | Well, I forgive you, and am glad to see you-- but--""Well, aunt-- but what?" |
23493 | Well, 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? |
23493 | Well, well-- now, look here: you think you''ve seen all my apparatus, an''know all about it?" |
23493 | Well?" |
23493 | Were not her lips coral and her teeth pearls? |
23493 | What are the various modes you speak of? |
23493 | What d''ee mane by it, Chok- foo? |
23493 | What d''ee say to try, David?" |
23493 | What do you mean, papa?" |
23493 | What do you want, eh?" |
23493 | What has kept you? |
23493 | What has_ that_ to do with your visit?" |
23493 | What on earth''s wrong with you?" |
23493 | What ought I to do?" |
23493 | What say you to that?" |
23493 | What say you? |
23493 | What say you?" |
23493 | What was the passage, dear, that you quoted to me as being your text for the day?" |
23493 | What would me mother say if she heard I could n''t git on my knees whin I tried to?" |
23493 | What''s that?" |
23493 | What, therefore, am I to do?" |
23493 | What_ shall_ I do?" |
23493 | When do you start, and when do you expect to be back?" |
23493 | When the rulers and grandees of some Eastern nations live by plunder, what can be expected of the people? |
23493 | Where did you find it?" |
23493 | Who can tell what tales may be revealed in regard to such, in Eternity? |
23493 | Why did you not mention it before?" |
23493 | Why did you open me?" |
23493 | Why should not an Irishman make a good diver?" |
23493 | Why were we gifted with the quality of courage if risk and danger were never to be encountered?" |
23493 | Why, what is Romance? |
23493 | Will you sing?" |
23493 | With a divin''dress on?" |
23493 | You 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?" |
23493 | You speak English?" |
23493 | You''ll go, wo n''t you?" |
23493 | You''re sure o''the old ingine, I fancy?" |
23493 | You''s Eggirbringting?" |
23493 | You''ve heard, I suppose, of coral reefs growing in places where none are marked on our charts?" |
23493 | You''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?'' |
23493 | ejaculated Baldwin, elevating his eyebrows a little, as he said gravely,"what, not even like an angel?" |
23493 | exclaimed Miss Pritty, in breathless surprise,"where?" |
23493 | exclaimed Mr Hazlit,"not one of your paupers?" |
23493 | exclaimed 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? |
23493 | gasped Jem, as soon as his glass was off;"wrong? |
23493 | he repeated,"why, I thought you did n''t like the sea?" |
23493 | said Edgar, with a surprised look;"what more is he?" |
23493 | said Joe, with a smile,"is the gentleman who borrowed you within?" |
23493 | she asked;"shriek for help?" |
23493 | shouted Jem again, while a horrible grin distorted his unhandsome visage;"wrong? |
23493 | stammered Mr Hazlit, in equal surprise;"whereon earth-- why-- how-- where-- young man, did you find them?" |
11469 | A stowaway, eh? |
11469 | Ai n''t he the broth of a lad? 11469 Ai n''t you comin''in?" |
11469 | An''that old stiff signaled to him to make his getaway? |
11469 | And go back? |
11469 | And have returned to China to live in peace and comfort? |
11469 | And how far to Peking by the road? |
11469 | And in the meantime you''ll tell him that I have gone away? |
11469 | And make terms with a pack of rioters? |
11469 | And my friends? |
11469 | And now what? |
11469 | And so,he said,"you think we are spread out along this road for the conspirators to grab off?" |
11469 | And the machines are gone for good? |
11469 | And the revolutionists will win? |
11469 | And they are strong? |
11469 | And they went away with this fellow? |
11469 | And they will fight for that? |
11469 | And what''s the matter with me goin''? |
11469 | And wounded? |
11469 | And you claim a cablegram which is here? 11469 And you have captured them?" |
11469 | And you have the Secret Service code? |
11469 | And you think Hans, if it is he, will understand? |
11469 | And you think they will hang about the flying squadron until they recover what they have lost? |
11469 | And 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? |
11469 | And you were engaged in it? |
11469 | And yours, Jack? |
11469 | Are all the men you took from the ship with you? |
11469 | Are we never going to get anything to eat? |
11469 | Are you an officer of the telegraph company? |
11469 | Are 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?" |
11469 | But 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? |
11469 | But how am I to get it to- night? |
11469 | But how did you get here? |
11469 | But how did you get here? |
11469 | But how in the Dickens did Hans ever get to you? 11469 But how, when, why?" |
11469 | But why does he remain inactive? 11469 But why should the Secret Service department put you in such peril?" |
11469 | But why should this man be doing business with the rebels? |
11469 | But why were they not given me before? |
11469 | But why? |
11469 | But, 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?" |
11469 | Ca n''t I? |
11469 | Call of the pack? |
11469 | Can he make a tree three hundred years old in a minute? |
11469 | Can you make the talk come from behind me? |
11469 | Can you run? |
11469 | Cut it out? |
11469 | Did he brush it all away? |
11469 | Did n''t he know that you were expecting instructions from Washington while on the way to Peking? |
11469 | Did n''t you see him crowd out with the marine officer? |
11469 | Did n''t you see them when you went back? |
11469 | Did you speak? |
11469 | Did you? |
11469 | Do you hear them buzzing? |
11469 | Do you know him to be Ned Nestor? |
11469 | Do you know the way out of this? |
11469 | Do you know what that means? |
11469 | Do you know why we are going on motorcycles? |
11469 | Do you recognize the fellow with his disguise off? 11469 Do you see the fine work done with the seal which made this impression?" |
11469 | Do you see the light in the cellar? 11469 Do you think he''s on the level?" |
11469 | Do you think they are Chinamen? |
11469 | Do you think we can get him on to Peking? |
11469 | Dressed in native costume? |
11469 | European police? |
11469 | Even if I found it in a cellar by the side of a half barrel of gunpowder to which a lighted fuse had been attached? |
11469 | Finders keepers? |
11469 | Found somethin''? |
11469 | From Washington? |
11469 | Got a light? |
11469 | Got clear away, did he? |
11469 | Had n''t you better make your case-- if you can make it at all-- in the courts? |
11469 | Have you a match? |
11469 | Have you the message with you? |
11469 | Here, kid, where are you going? |
11469 | How badly are the machines damaged? |
11469 | How could he make the journey on foot, through a country suspicious of every foreigner? 11469 How could you have been?" |
11469 | How could you mix with them? |
11469 | How did it affect your appetite? |
11469 | How did the sneak who set the fuse on fire ever get down there? |
11469 | How did you do it? |
11469 | How did you do it? |
11469 | How did you get to China? |
11469 | How did you know there was danger inside? |
11469 | How did you know? |
11469 | How do you know? |
11469 | How do you like it? |
11469 | How long has he been loitering about the room? |
11469 | How many of the Chinks did you catch? |
11469 | How much money was offered you to hold this message? |
11469 | How much will you take for a month in vaudeville? |
11469 | How the Old Harry did he get here? |
11469 | How? |
11469 | How? |
11469 | I presume I can see him? |
11469 | I wonder if old Chee is still asleep from the dope? |
11469 | I wonder if the little scamp is in trouble again? |
11469 | I wonder if they are out in force? |
11469 | I wonder what''s keeping Ned? |
11469 | If he had reached the old house first, he would have waited here for us, would n''t he? |
11469 | If he is here? |
11469 | If they should try to hold us here, what? |
11469 | In this dump? |
11469 | Is it in the code of the Secret Service? |
11469 | Is that a promise or a threat? |
11469 | Is that true? |
11469 | Is there another way out? |
11469 | Is this yours? |
11469 | Japanese- lookin''chap? |
11469 | Let''s see,grinned Frank,"we were to have a flying squadron of marines with us? |
11469 | May we go back to the fire? |
11469 | Murdered? 11469 My friends?" |
11469 | No, it does n''t; yet what is he stopping here for? 11469 Now, what do you know about that?" |
11469 | Oh, they wo n''t? |
11469 | Oh, yes, easy, but how did you do it? |
11469 | Our friends? |
11469 | Out for a walk? |
11469 | Perhaps he thought the truth would frighten you off? |
11469 | Say, are we ever goin''back after that gold? |
11469 | Say, do you think you have run''em down at last? |
11469 | Say, 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?" |
11469 | Shall I go get him? |
11469 | Shall I risk an answer? |
11469 | Shall I take them in charge? |
11469 | Shall we go in? |
11469 | Shall you go on to- night? |
11469 | So soon? 11469 So you are now the only one to look to for the history of this bit of deviltry?" |
11469 | So, they were using rockets? |
11469 | Suppose the Chinks attack the men left behind? |
11469 | Suppose we all go back on our machines, and really see something of the country? |
11469 | Suppose we go in and ask some ordinary question? |
11469 | Suppose we make a little noise? |
11469 | Suppose,Ned said,"suppose I turn you over to the revolutionary leaders, with a statement of what you have just said? |
11469 | Telegrams in China? |
11469 | That waiter? |
11469 | The fuse went out, did n''t it? 11469 The man who warned you is Lieutenant Rae?" |
11469 | Then he understood, all right? |
11469 | Then this is final? |
11469 | Then we''d better be on double guard? |
11469 | Then what can be done with them? |
11469 | Then what can we do? |
11469 | Then 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? |
11469 | Then you do n''t know that they have gone back to Taku? |
11469 | Then you think he knew there was something wrong because we did not meet you? |
11469 | They will not be attacked there? |
11469 | This man Rae? |
11469 | This was not used? |
11469 | To scare you? |
11469 | To the embassy? |
11469 | Very well,the Captain said,"now will you tell me how you set this trap so, cleverly?" |
11469 | Walk? |
11469 | Was he there with your captors? 11469 Was that stamp made by the seal you just hid away?" |
11469 | Was the stamp made with the seal you have with you? |
11469 | Was there a Chink who spoke English like a native? |
11469 | We ca n''t fight a whole nation, can we? 11469 We do n''t know much about China, do we?" |
11469 | Well, suppose he is now here trying to get something in exchange for the gold which lies at the bottom of the Pacific? |
11469 | Well, supposing, for the sake of argument, that I was at Taku, what has that to do with this brutal and illegal arrest? |
11469 | Well,Jack said, more to break the strange silence than for any other purpose,"why do n''t you say something?" |
11469 | Well,Jimmie asked, of Ned,"did he tumble? |
11469 | Well,Ned went on, laughing,"we had a high wind yesterday, did n''t we? |
11469 | Well? |
11469 | Were these men present? |
11469 | Were you to withhold the message altogether, or were you merely to delay this young man? |
11469 | What are we halting here for? |
11469 | What are you going to do about delivering the cablegram? |
11469 | What are you going to do about that runaway kid? |
11469 | What are you hiding back there in the darkness for? 11469 What are you trying to do?" |
11469 | What did you do that for? |
11469 | What did you go an''sit down there an''wait for? |
11469 | What did you say? |
11469 | What do they do with them? |
11469 | What do you make of the mummery now going on? |
11469 | What do you mean by coming in here and giving orders? |
11469 | What do you mean by that? 11469 What do you mean by that?" |
11469 | What do you mean by that? |
11469 | What do you propose? |
11469 | What do you think we ought to do with you? |
11469 | What do you think? |
11469 | What do you want? |
11469 | What does he mean by that? |
11469 | What does it mean? |
11469 | What does the accuser say? |
11469 | What does this mean? |
11469 | What for? |
11469 | What government do you represent? |
11469 | What has this to do with my case? |
11469 | What have you been doing? |
11469 | What is going on out there? |
11469 | What is it? |
11469 | What is it? |
11469 | What is it? |
11469 | What is it? |
11469 | What is it? |
11469 | What is the trouble? |
11469 | What is this Rae person doing here? 11469 What kind of a game is this?" |
11469 | What kind of a hotel is this? |
11469 | What kind of a play house is this? |
11469 | What makes you think so? |
11469 | What makes you think so? |
11469 | What nation is it that is protecting the imperial government of China? |
11469 | What national seal made that stamp on the wax you have in your pocket, Ned? |
11469 | What next? |
11469 | What next? |
11469 | What they doing to Ned and Jimmie? |
11469 | What was an American doing in that bunch? |
11469 | What was the motive? |
11469 | What''s coming off here? |
11469 | What''s the answer now? |
11469 | What''s the answer to that? |
11469 | What''s the difficulty, kid? |
11469 | What''s the trouble? |
11469 | What''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?" |
11469 | What''s your notion? |
11469 | Where are the marines? |
11469 | Where are we? |

11469 | Where did he come from? |
11469 | Where did the Chinks go? |
11469 | Where did they ascend from? |
11469 | Where did you get it? |
11469 | Where did you get this information you''re favoring us with? 11469 Where did you leave Frank and Jack?" |
11469 | Where do you live? |
11469 | Where is Captain Martin, of the marines? |
11469 | Where is Captain Martin, the officer in charge? |
11469 | Where is he? |
11469 | Where is he? |
11469 | Where is the other prisoner? |
11469 | Where is this mysticism of the East located? |
11469 | Where is your uniform? |
11469 | Where? |
11469 | Which is Ned Nestor? |
11469 | Which man? |
11469 | Who are these men? |
11469 | Who bribed you? |
11469 | Who did it, then? |
11469 | Who did it? |
11469 | Who directed you to the house where I found you? |
11469 | Who is it that is doing the talking? |
11469 | Who met you in the library at the house you attempted to destroy? |
11469 | Who was it that ran away? |
11469 | Who was it? |
11469 | Who''s Hans? |
11469 | Who''s first? |
11469 | Why daylight? |
11469 | Why did n''t some one follow him? |
11469 | Why did n''t you get a move on? |
11469 | Why did n''t you notify the officer then in charge of the squad? |
11469 | Why did n''t you pull him out? |
11469 | Why did n''t you say something of an accuser before? |
11469 | Why did they dope her? |
11469 | Why 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?" |
11469 | Why do n''t you out with it, then? |
11469 | Why do n''t you tell us what the danger is? |
11469 | Why do you attribute this outbreak to me? |
11469 | Why do you call her Chee? |
11469 | Why do you ride in the night? |
11469 | Why does n''t he come into the place with a brass band? 11469 Why morning?" |
11469 | Why not? |
11469 | Why this midnight industry? 11469 Why venture out in the storm?" |
11469 | Will you deliver the cablegram? |
11469 | Wo n''t the finding of them men there get her into trouble? |
11469 | Wonder if that old gear- face thinks he can guard us an''sleep, too? 11469 Yes? |
11469 | You are Ned Nestor? |
11469 | You are convinced that these are the people who were sent out to defeat the purpose of our mission? |
11469 | You are taking life easily? 11469 You arranged for this demonstration in case you should be taken?" |
11469 | You can read this code, I suppose? |
11469 | You 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?" |
11469 | You have possession of certain documents taken from a certain wreck in the Pacific Ocean? |
11469 | You have the key to the code? |
11469 | You know how the Moores, father an''son, tried to get us on the submarine? 11469 You mean the men you left in the cornfield?" |
11469 | You placed the powder under the house where the wounded men lay? |
11469 | You planned this? |
11469 | You saw Hans? |
11469 | You think there will be a war? |
11469 | You were at Taku? |
11469 | You will deny your own fingerprints, the shoeprints? |
11469 | You''ll do what you can to find them? |
11469 | You''re going to Peking on business? |
11469 | Your proof will assist you when you get there? |
11469 | A cablegram in cipher-- the cipher code of the Secret Service of the United States government?" |
11469 | A wind that tumbled the dust of the streets in upon us? |
11469 | And Lieutenant Scott? |
11469 | And help him hunt Frank and Jack, will you?" |
11469 | And how comes it that he chanced on this building?" |
11469 | And these others? |
11469 | And, after he got away, how did he happen to blunder into the company of our escort? |
11469 | Are you ready?" |
11469 | But?" |
11469 | By the way, I wonder where Jack and Frank are? |
11469 | CHAPTER III A SHOE AND A SURPRISE"What do you mean by that?" |
11469 | CHAPTER V A COLLECTION OF WILD ANIMALS"Well, what do you think of it?" |
11469 | CHAPTER XI THE MYSTICISM OF THE EAST"You remember what the consul said regarding trouble on the road to Peking?" |
11469 | CHAPTER XVIII A BROKEN MATCH SAFE"Why do n''t she go up?" |
11469 | Can it be possible that you were treacherous to both sides?" |
11469 | Could it be possible that the nation to which it belonged had been engaged in this conspiracy? |
11469 | Did he know where you were going?" |
11469 | Do you know where I found it, my friend?" |
11469 | Do you know where your two friends are-- the two who accompanied you here?" |
11469 | Do you see why it went out?" |
11469 | Do you want him to know that we are wise to his game?" |
11469 | Frank nodded and whispered:"Did they get Ned, too?" |
11469 | Give it up, now?" |
11469 | Got that?" |
11469 | Had he escaped from the building, or was he detained in the room he had surreptitiously entered? |
11469 | He advanced upon the priests and demanded:"Will you take me along?" |
11469 | How did he get to Tientsin, anyway?" |
11469 | How did he know where to go? |
11469 | How did this German boy learn all this?" |
11469 | How did you get to China?" |
11469 | How do you like it?" |
11469 | How far must we walk?" |
11469 | How would they be received? |
11469 | How would you like to take a New York special, just now?" |
11469 | How, may I ask?" |
11469 | I wonder how he got hold of Hans?" |
11469 | I wonder how he likes the scene?" |
11469 | I wonder if this gazabo will get Frank and Jack?" |
11469 | I wonder what instructions this Rae person will give Ned?" |
11469 | I wonder where it will be?" |
11469 | If he had indeed escaped, would he have the good sense to hasten to the camp instead of trying to assist his chum single- handed? |
11469 | Is this true?" |
11469 | Machines in good order?" |
11469 | Ned did not know the men as well as he knew the Captain, therefore he asked:"The men will obey your orders to the letter? |
11469 | Ned pointed to one and spoke to Hans:"Can you ride?" |
11469 | Ned said, then he stooped over and called out to Jimmie:"Is the fuse out?" |
11469 | Nestor?" |
11469 | Nice to be so exclusive, is n''t it?" |
11469 | Nothing odd about that, is there?" |
11469 | Now, how did he ever get to Tientsin, and how did he locate us?" |
11469 | Now, what do you think he''s doin''here?" |
11469 | Now, what shall we do? |
11469 | Sandy, who had been listening in silence to the explanations which had been made, now asked:"How many Chinks are there out there?" |
11469 | Say, Ned, what do you know about them callers you''re goin''to have? |
11469 | Say, Ned,"he added,"why ca n''t we cut it out? |
11469 | Say, 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.? |
11469 | Say,"he added, with a grin,"ai n''t this tie- up game getting stale? |
11469 | See? |
11469 | See?" |
11469 | Shall we sneak out of a window, or remain here and find out what he wants?" |
11469 | Suppose we knock this fellow on the head? |
11469 | Suppose we wait until daylight and then make a rush?" |
11469 | The latter asked:"Where''s Ned?" |
11469 | The only question in my mind is this: Will they let us alone until daylight? |
11469 | There was a smile on his face as he asked:"Do Taoist priests accost strangers on the highway?" |
11469 | Think they are sufficiently soused with opium?" |
11469 | Vot issit if I hand himone? |
11469 | Vot?" |
11469 | We had to keep cases on this chap, did n''t we?" |
11469 | What 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? |
11469 | What about it, Gulf of Pechili and the Peiho river Ned?" |
11469 | What are the lives of a dozen or more to the prosperity of millions? |
11469 | What did you pull me out of me covers for?" |
11469 | What did you see?" |
11469 | What did you wake me up for, anyway?" |
11469 | What do you think of that?" |
11469 | What does it mean?" |
11469 | What inducements were offered you to keep the cablegram away from this young man? |
11469 | What nations did they represent, or pretend to represent?" |
11469 | What was it? |
11469 | What were they to get for the gold?" |
11469 | What would be your fate? |
11469 | What''s the matter with this rice, kid, and this meat pie?" |
11469 | What''s your name? |
11469 | What? |
11469 | What?" |
11469 | What?" |
11469 | When do you expect to meet with these foxy chaps?" |
11469 | Where does he live, and is he black, white, or red? |
11469 | Where is he?" |
11469 | Where is the paper to which the seal was attached?" |
11469 | Where is there an eatery?" |
11469 | Where was Jimmie? |
11469 | Where''s that Secret Service feller that was goin''to set the pace for us?" |
11469 | Who are you, and where did you come from? |
11469 | Who were they? |
11469 | Why ca n''t you boys behave yourselves?" |
11469 | Why should he want to get us into a war?" |
11469 | Will that answer?" |
11469 | Without trial?" |
11469 | Would they be greeted with treacherous words, or with a murderous fusillade of bullets and knives stabbing in the darkness? |
11469 | Would you know this lad you speak of if you should see him again?" |
11469 | You claim to be Ned Nestor?" |
11469 | You were about to start on without your final instructions?" |
11469 | he added,"where is Ned?" |
11469 | he 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?" |
10056 | Am I, indeed,said the Master,"possessed of knowledge? |
10056 | And after enriching them, what more would you do for them? |
10056 | And are not those who, while not comprehending all that is said, still remain not unpleased to hear, men of the superior order? |
10056 | And can he be said to be wise who, with a liking for taking part in the public service, is constantly letting slip his opportunities? |
10056 | And if you are obliged to give up one of the remaining two, which would it be? |
10056 | And what call you the five excellences? |
10056 | And with you, Kung- si, how would it be? |
10056 | And with you, Tsang Sin? |
10056 | And you, too, Tsz- kung,he continued,"have your aversions, have you not?" |
10056 | Are such available? |
10056 | As to those of whom you are uncertain, will others omit to notice them? |
10056 | But Yen, then-- he had a State in view, had he not? |
10056 | But had not Kung- si also a State in view? |
10056 | But two tithings would not be enough for my purposes,said the duke;"what would be the good of applying the Statute?" |
10056 | But was he a man of fellow- feeling? |
10056 | But was he a man of fellow- feeling? |
10056 | But was not Kwan Chung wanting in good- will? 10056 But,"he asked,"how am I to know the sagacious and talented, before promoting them?" |
10056 | But,said the disciple,"if you can not really have all three, and one has to be given up, which would you give up first?" |
10056 | Can any do otherwise than assent to words said to them by way of correction? 10056 Can it be so?" |
10056 | Ch''ang,said he,"is wanton; where do you get at his inflexibleness?" |
10056 | Does Heaven ever speak? |
10056 | Does a gentleman,asked Tsz- lu,"make much account of bravery?" |
10056 | Does that make them''superior men''? |
10056 | From what do you know that I am competent to that? |
10056 | Had they any feelings of resentment? |
10056 | He knew the Rules of Propriety, I suppose? |
10056 | He of Lu? |
10056 | How is it possible indeed to serve one''s prince in their company? 10056 How shall I dare,"he replied,"even to look at Hwúi? |
10056 | How should I dare to die,said he,"while you, sir, still lived?" |
10056 | How should such a rule of life,asked the Master,"be sufficient to make any one good?" |
10056 | How then,he answered,"would you requite kindness? |
10056 | How would you describe those who are at present in the government service? |
10056 | How,exclaimed the Master,"can such words be appropriated in the ancestral hall of the Three Families?" |
10056 | If I were to take a raft, and drift about on the sea, would Tsz- lu, I wonder, be my follower there? |
10056 | If 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? |
10056 | If 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? |
10056 | In 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? |
10056 | Is it so bad as that? |
10056 | Is not this apropos in such cases? |
10056 | Is that the case with him? |
10056 | Is that what is meant by proper regard for one''s fellow- creatures? |
10056 | Is the philanthropic spirit far to seek, indeed? |
10056 | Is there, then,he asked,"one sentence which, if acted upon, would have the effect of ruining a country?" |
10056 | May I ask, please, what these are? |
10056 | May I presume,said his questioner,"to ask what sort you would put next to such?" |
10056 | May I still venture to ask whom you would place next in order? |
10056 | May they not be of use to the villages and hamlets around you? |
10056 | Nothing more than that? |
10056 | O 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?" |
10056 | Of that I am not sure,he replied;"how am I to get at that?" |
10056 | Of what sort? |
10056 | Once, 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? |
10056 | Sir,replied Confucius,"in the administration of government why resort to capital punishment? |
10056 | Sir,said Tsz- kung,"how comes it to pass that no one knows you?" |
10056 | Sir,said Tsz- kung,"if you were never to speak, what should your pupils have to hand down from you?" |
10056 | So 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?" |
10056 | Suppose 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?" |
10056 | That is the man,said he,"who knows things are not up to the mark, and is making some ado about them, is it not?" |
10056 | That, and yet no more? |
10056 | There is Yu''s harpsichord,exclaimed the Master--"what is it doing at my door?" |
10056 | Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so bold?" |
10056 | Those men are right,they fiercely say,"What mean your words so loud?" |
10056 | To 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?" |
10056 | Was he miserly? |
10056 | Was 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?" |
10056 | Well, 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? |
10056 | What harm? |
10056 | What mean you,asked Tsz- chang,"by bounty without extravagance?" |
10056 | What rudeness would there be,he replied,"if a''superior man''was living in their midst?" |
10056 | What say you then of Yen Yu? |
10056 | What says your Master? |
10056 | What, I wonder, do you mean by one who is influential? |
10056 | What, then, do you call the four evils? |
10056 | What, then, if they all disliked him? |
10056 | When 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? |
10056 | Where from? |
10056 | Where there is difficulty in doing,the Master replied,"will there not be some difficulty in utterance?" |
10056 | Who can go out but by that door? 10056 Why did you smile at Tsz- lu, sir?" |
10056 | Why must you name Káu- tsung? |
10056 | Why not apply the Tithing Statute? |
10056 | Why should he really do so? |
10056 | Why so late? |
10056 | Why so much ado,said the Master,"at my merely permitting his approach, and not rather at my allowing him to draw back? |
10056 | With one who does not come to me inquiring''What of this?'' 10056 Yen,"said Confucius,"does not the fault lie with you? |
10056 | Yen,said he,"how would it be with you?" |
10056 | You 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?" |
10056 | A high State official, after questioning Tsz- kung, said,"Your Master is a sage, then? |
10056 | A person remarked to him,"Can you not yet bear to withdraw?" |
10056 | Abruptly he asked me,''How can the kingdom, all under the sky, be settled?'' |
10056 | Addressing Tsz- kung, the Master said,"Which of the two is ahead of the other-- yourself or Hwúi?" |
10056 | Addressing 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?" |
10056 | Afterwards, 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?" |
10056 | Again,"Let a ruler but see to his own rectitude, and what trouble will he then have in the work before him? |
10056 | Alluding 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?" |
10056 | Although I do not go to you, Why from all word do you refrain? |
10056 | Although I do not go to you, Yet why to me should you not come? |
10056 | Although he had his tower, his pond, birds and animals, how could he have pleasure alone?" |
10056 | Am I eminently worthy and wise?--who is there then among men whom I will not bear with? |
10056 | And am I the great Monarch of the line of Han? |
10056 | And if it should happen that my services were enlisted, I might create for him another East Chow-- don''t you think so?" |
10056 | And in such a case, what shall we say of his sense of harmony?" |
10056 | And is not attacking the evil in one''s self, and not the evil which is in others, a way of reforming dissolute habits? |
10056 | And moreover what permanent preceptor could he have?" |
10056 | And parents, how are you restrained, In this so dreadful day? |
10056 | And since only with death it is done with, is not the way long?" |
10056 | And 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?" |
10056 | And what does he account next, as that about which he may be indifferent? |
10056 | And what harm, I ask, can a man do to the sun or the moon, by wishing to intercept himself from either? |
10056 | And where is the wisdom of those who choose an abode where it does not abide? |
10056 | And why can not they do so? |
10056 | And yet the people of the neighboring kings do not decrease, nor do my people increase-- how is this?" |
10056 | And 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?" |
10056 | Another 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?'' |
10056 | Are there no dice and chess players? |
10056 | Are we now with them in 402?] |
10056 | Assuming that the words were good, and that none withstood them, would not that also be good? |
10056 | Attended 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?" |
10056 | But I have seen my lord again;-- Should not my heart rejoice? |
10056 | But had there been none of superior quality in Lu, how should this man have attained to this excellence?" |
10056 | But how is it that this heart has in it what is equal to the attainment of the Royal sway?" |
10056 | But if they can not exert themselves to expel the barbarians, why call for the princess to propitiate them? |
10056 | But so long as Heaven does not allow it to perish, what can the men of K''wang do to me?" |
10056 | But soon what changes may betide? |
10056 | But though Ts''e be narrow and small, how should I grudge a bull? |
10056 | But what had disciples of Buddha to do with hunting and taking life? |
10056 | But with such uncommon attractions, what chance has kept you from our sight? |
10056 | But,"said he,"what need of such in these days? |
10056 | But-- when the people have not enough, who will allow their prince all that he wants?" |
10056 | Can any be other than pleased with words of gentle suasion? |
10056 | Can any one refuse to exhort, who is true- hearted?" |
10056 | Can my suffering''scape their ken? |
10056 | Can this man have enjoyed the three years of loving care from his parents?" |
10056 | Can ye not devise a way to send out these foreign troops, without yielding up the princess for the sake of peace? |
10056 | Can ye withhold Your sympathy, who lately reigned? |
10056 | Ch''ang- tsü said,"Who is the person driving the carriage?" |
10056 | Chung- ne said,''Was he not without posterity who first made wooden images to bury with the dead?'' |
10056 | Commenting on these lines the Master said,"There can hardly have been much''thought going out,''What does distance signify?" |
10056 | Confucius gave him a seat, and among other inquiries he asked,"How is your master managing?" |
10056 | Covering the jujubes the dolichos grows, The graves many dragon- plants cover; But where is the man on whose breast I''d repose? |
10056 | Do I not night and day, Revere great Heaven, That thus its favor may To Chow be given? |
10056 | Does Heaven indeed speak?" |
10056 | Does he investigate matters? |
10056 | Does that coincide with your remark?" |
10056 | Does your Majesty know the way of the growing grain? |
10056 | Dost think that my thoughts go not out to thee? |
10056 | During life I am determined to have abundance of riches; what care I for the curses of mankind after my death? |
10056 | From them our thoughts quick to our husbands pass? |
10056 | From what quarter come such superior charms? |
10056 | Fâ- hien first spoke assuringly to them, and then slowly and distinctly asked them,"Who are you?" |
10056 | Give me a cup from that gilt vase-- When shall this longing end in sight? |
10056 | Had he not plenty of ladies in his palace, of whom he might have sent me one? |
10056 | He asked further,"What country is this?" |
10056 | He asked,"Can any one refuse to toil for those he loves? |
10056 | He 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? |
10056 | He said,"I have heard that superior men show no partiality; are they, too, then, partial? |
10056 | He then asked,"What are you looking for among these hills?" |
10056 | His face beamed with pleasure, and he said laughingly,"To kill a cock-- why use an ox- knife?" |
10056 | His rule is-- covet nought, none hate;-- How can his steps from goodness stray? |
10056 | How am I to be strung up like that kind of thing-- and live without means?" |
10056 | How are such to come from book- learning?" |
10056 | How can sorrow from my heart In a case like this depart? |
10056 | How can such a thing as entrapping the people be done under the rule of a benevolent man?" |
10056 | How can they know, who never try To learn whence comes our woe? |
10056 | How can your Majesty have such a desire on account of them?" |
10056 | How else could all your evil dreams And slanders work their way? |
10056 | How goes the night? |
10056 | How goes the night? |
10056 | How in our absence shall their wants be met? |
10056 | How indeed could such as he be equalled?" |
10056 | How is this? |
10056 | How know we what difference there may be in them in the future from what they are now? |
10056 | How may a master play fast and loose in his methods of instruction? |
10056 | How shall our parents find their wonted food? |
10056 | How shall our parents their requirements get? |
10056 | How should I derive pleasure from these things? |
10056 | How should I have the ambition?" |
10056 | How should they know who never try To learn whence comes our woe? |
10056 | How should your carriages, large or little, get along without your whipple- trees or swing- trees?" |
10056 | I am but a woman; how shall I succeed in being the first to see him?" |
10056 | I know not about his good- naturedness; but at any rate what need of that gift?" |
10056 | I never can ask''What of this?'' |
10056 | I replied,''It will be settled by being united under one sway,''"''Who can so unite it?'' |
10056 | I should say he was not a man who had much good- will in him-- eh?" |
10056 | I turn my gaze to the great sky;-- When shall this drought be done, and I Quiet and restful be?" |
10056 | If Kung- si were to become an unimportant assistant at these functions, who could become an important one?" |
10056 | If he be unable to rectify himself, how is he to rectify others?" |
10056 | If he knew the Rules of Propriety, who is there that does not know them?" |
10056 | If there be no reverential feeling in the matter, what is there to distinguish between the cases?" |
10056 | If these, then, also make an administrator, how am I to take your words about being an administrator?" |
10056 | If with one part you try to subdue the other eight, what is the difference between that and Tsow''s contending with Ts''oo? |
10056 | If 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?" |
10056 | If you, sir, as a leader show correctness, who will dare not to be correct?" |
10056 | If, 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?" |
10056 | In archery What man with him can vie? |
10056 | In eager pursuit of her, I have reached the imperial palace.--Is not this she? |
10056 | In his case, what is the use of reprimand? |
10056 | In such a case, who will oppose your Majesty? |
10056 | In the core of my heart I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day? |
10056 | In the core of my heart do I love him, but say, Whence shall I procure him the wants of the day? |
10056 | In the course of conversation Yen Yu said,"Does the Master take the part of the Prince of Wei?" |
10056 | In the gentleman is there indeed such variety of ability? |
10056 | Is an exception to be made here? |
10056 | Is it not because you show yourself so smart a speaker, now?" |
10056 | Is it not so indeed? |
10056 | Is not his way of arriving at things different from that of others?" |
10056 | Is not this the Emperor, my sovereign? |
10056 | King 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?" |
10056 | Know ye in what place she grieves, listening like me to the screams of the wild bird? |
10056 | Laid is the bamboo mat on rush mat square;-- Here shall he sleep, and, waking, say,"Divine What dreams are good? |
10056 | Let your Majesty likewise make benevolence and righteousness your only themes-- Why must you speak of profit?" |
10056 | May I not as well give up?" |
10056 | May I request that you proceed against him?" |
10056 | Mencius continued,"Is there any difference between doing it with a sword and with governmental measures?" |
10056 | Mencius replied,"If the people of Tsow were fighting with the people of Ts''oo, which of them does your Majesty think would conquer?" |
10056 | Mencius replied,"Is there any difference between killing a man with a stick and with a sword?" |
10056 | Mencius replied,"Why must your Majesty used that word''profit''? |
10056 | Mencius resumed,"Are you led to desire it because you have not enough of rich and sweet food for your mouth? |
10056 | Mencius said,"May I hear from you what it is that your Majesty greatly desires?" |
10056 | Might he be called philanthropic?" |
10056 | Might he then learn something of gardening? |
10056 | Min Tsz- k''ien observed,"How if it were repaired on the old lines?" |
10056 | No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed? |
10056 | No brother lives with whom my cause to plead;-- Why not perform for me the helping deed? |
10056 | No food is left our parents to supply; When we are gone, on whom can they rely? |
10056 | Now suppose some one got to know you, what then?" |
10056 | O azure Heaven, from out thy deeps Why look in silence down? |
10056 | O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war? |
10056 | O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war? |
10056 | O azure Heaven, that shinest there afar, When shall our homes receive us from the war? |
10056 | O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so? |
10056 | O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so? |
10056 | O how is it, I long to know, That he, my lord, forgets me so? |
10056 | O noble chiefs, who then the West adorned, Would ye have thus neglected me and scorned? |
10056 | Of Wei- shang Kau he said,"Who calls him straightforward? |
10056 | On going in to him, that disciple began,"What sort of men were Peh- I and Shuh Ts''i?" |
10056 | On one occasion he exclaimed,"Heaven begat Virtue in me; what can man do unto me?" |
10056 | Once the Master said,"Because we allow that a man''s words have something genuine in them, are they necessarily those of a superior man? |
10056 | Once when the stabling was destroyed by fire, he withdrew from the Court, and asked,"Is any person injured?" |
10056 | Or it is,''The study of Music requires it''--''Music requires it''; but do not these predilections for bells and drums require it?" |
10056 | Person slighted, life all blighted, What can the future prove? |
10056 | Regard you only me? |
10056 | Sad dreams returned to our lonely pillow; we thought of her through the night: Her verdant tomb remains-- but where shall we seek her self? |
10056 | Said he,"It is a year of dearth, and there is an insufficiency for Ways and Means-- what am I to do?" |
10056 | Shall I become a carriage driver, or an archer? |
10056 | Should I deceive Heaven? |
10056 | Should we oppose the Tartars, and be defeated, what will remain to us? |
10056 | So when his desire is the virtue of humaneness, and he attains it, how shall he then be covetous? |
10056 | Some one asked,"What say you of the remark,''Requite enmity with kindness''?" |
10056 | Some one thereupon remarked,"Who says that the son of the man of Tsou[ 8] understands about ceremonial? |
10056 | Some one, speaking to Confucius, inquired,"Why, sir, are you not an administrator of government?" |
10056 | The Master added,"Where there is found, upon introspection, to be no chronic disease, how shall there be any trouble? |
10056 | The Master asked him,"Would it be a satisfaction to you-- that returning to better food, that putting on of fine clothes?" |
10056 | The Master heard of this, and mentioning it to his disciples he said,"What then shall I take in hand? |
10056 | The Master replied,"Where there is scarcely the ability to minister to living men, how shall there be ability to minister to the spirits?" |
10056 | The 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?" |
10056 | The bird, although a creature small, Upon its mate depends; And shall we men, who rank o''er all, Not seek to have our friends? |
10056 | The followers introduced him; and, on leaving, he said to them,"Sirs, why grieve at his loss of office? |
10056 | The 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?" |
10056 | The king laughed and said,"What really was my mind in the matter? |
10056 | The king said,"Is such an one as poor I competent to love and protect the people?" |
10056 | The king said,"May I hear what they will be?" |
10056 | The king said,"Of what kind must his virtue be who can attain to the Royal sway?" |
10056 | The man of my heart is away and I mourn-- What home have I, lonely and weeping? |
10056 | The minister replied,"So long as the people have enough left for themselves, who of them will allow their prince to be without enough? |
10056 | The three other disciples having gone out, leaving Tsang Sin behind, the latter said,"What think you of the answers of those three?" |
10056 | They 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? |
10056 | They replied,"Who are you that say you are our mother?" |
10056 | Tigers do we care to be? |
10056 | To his disciples he once said,"Do you look upon me, my sons, as keeping anything secret from you? |
10056 | To the disciple Tsz- lu the Master said,"Shall I give you a lesson about knowledge? |
10056 | To the great sky I look with pain;-- Why do these grievous sorrows rain On my devoted head? |
10056 | Tsz- chang in a conversation with Confucius asked,"What say you is essential for the proper conduct of government?" |
10056 | Tsz- k''in asked of Pih- yu,"Have you heard anything else peculiar from your father?" |
10056 | Tsz- kung asked,"I suppose a gentleman will have his aversions as well as his likings?" |
10056 | Tsz- kung asked,"What of me, then?" |
10056 | Tsz- 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?" |
10056 | Tsz- kung put to him the question,"Is there one word upon which the whole life may proceed?" |
10056 | Tsz- kung was consulting him, and asked,"What say you of a person who was liked by all in his village?" |
10056 | Tsz- lu inquired of him,"Have you seen my Master, sir?" |
10056 | Tsz- 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? |
10056 | Tsz- lu then put his question to Kieh- nih; and the latter asked,"Who are you?" |
10056 | Tsz- lu used always to be humming over the lines--"From envy and enmity free, What deed doth he other than good?" |
10056 | Tsz- lu was averse to this, and said,"You can never go, that is certain; how should you feel you must go to that person?" |
10056 | Tsz- lu, with indignation pictured on his countenance, exclaimed,"And is a gentleman to suffer starvation?" |
10056 | Wang- sun Kiá asked him once,"What says the proverb,''Better to court favor in the kitchen than in the drawing- room''?" |
10056 | Was it not, however, just like him-- that remark of the Chief?" |
10056 | We have complied with all our minister''s propositions-- shall they not, then, accede to ours? |
10056 | Well, are not filial piety and friendly subordination among brothers a root of that right feeling which is owing generally from man to man?" |
10056 | Were I to adopt crooked ways in their service, why need I leave the land where my parents dwell?" |
10056 | Were not my forefathers men? |
10056 | Were the Empress Leuhow alive-- let her utter a word-- which of them would dare to be of a different opinion? |
10056 | What can I say-- a poor fellow like me? |
10056 | What can I say-- a poor fellow like me? |
10056 | What can I say-- a poor fellow like me? |
10056 | What can Liáu do against Destiny?" |
10056 | What can we do?" |
10056 | What course is to be pursued to accomplish this?" |
10056 | What did he indeed do? |
10056 | What does a master, in his methods of teaching, consider first in his precepts? |
10056 | What find we on the Chung- nan hill? |
10056 | What has he to do with the Path of Wisdom? |
10056 | What in his angling did he catch? |
10056 | What is meant by that?" |
10056 | What is the use of all that?" |
10056 | What lady plays there? |
10056 | What need to turn his hand to husbandry? |
10056 | What place is this? |
10056 | What say you of him?" |
10056 | What say you of him?" |
10056 | What the cause? |
10056 | What was his meaning?" |
10056 | What would you think if these, because they had run but fifty paces, should laugh at those who ran a hundred paces?" |
10056 | When Tsz- yu became governor of Wu- shing, the Master said to him,"Do you find good men about you?" |
10056 | When 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?" |
10056 | When have they employed a single day in the service of their prince? |
10056 | When he selects for them such labors as it is possible for them to do, and exacts them, who will then complain? |
10056 | When he was asked about spiritual beings, he remarked,"If we can not even know men, how can we know spirits?" |
10056 | When it does so, who can keep it back? |
10056 | When shall we back from this service be led? |
10056 | When the Master heard of this he remarked,"Does that high official know me? |
10056 | When the music- master had left, Tsz- chang said to him,"Is that the way to speak to the music- master?" |
10056 | When they are so bent, who will be able to keep them back?" |
10056 | When we are gone, who will to them be good? |
10056 | When will he come to heal its smart? |
10056 | When you changed a large one for a small, how should they know the true reason? |
10056 | Where can I fly? |
10056 | Where could be found to share our prince''s state, So fair, so virtuous, and so fit a mate? |
10056 | Where seek repose? |
10056 | Where the ability to govern thus is wanting, what has such a ruler to do with the Rules of Propriety? |
10056 | Which of them need be rinsed? |
10056 | Which of them will drive back for us these foreign troops? |
10056 | Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned? |
10056 | Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned? |
10056 | Who buried were in duke Muh''s grave, Alive to awful death consigned? |
10056 | Who dares despise your cattle too? |
10056 | Who planned, and helped those slanderers vile, My name with base lies to defile? |
10056 | Whom should I delude, if I were to pretend to have officials under me, having none? |
10056 | Why do we brand him in our satire here? |
10056 | Why such rectification?" |
10056 | Why upon me has come this drought? |
10056 | Why walks no one by these guiding principles? |
10056 | Wi- shang Mau accosted Confucius, saying,"Kiu, how comes it that you manage to go perching and roosting in this way? |
10056 | With dignity in presence of them all, My conduct marked, my goodness who shall scout? |
10056 | Within the precincts of the palace, as without them, who is there but bows before me-- who is there but trembles at my approach? |
10056 | Would he go down after him?" |
10056 | Would they not indeed be sages, who could take in at once the first principles and the final developments of things?" |
10056 | Would you guard it carefully in a casket and store it away, or seek a good price for it and sell it?" |
10056 | Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye? |
10056 | Ye travellers, who forever hurry by, Why on me turn the unsympathizing eye? |
10056 | Ye whom I constantly revere, Why do I this endure? |
10056 | Yen 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? |
10056 | and the inferior officers and the common people will say,''What is to be done to profit our persons?'' |
10056 | and which need not? |
10056 | and''What of that?'' |
10056 | exclaimed the Master,"are we to say that the spirits of T''ai- shan have not as much discernment as Lin Fang?" |
10056 | how long has Tsz- lu''s conduct been false? |
10056 | how shall there be any apprehension?" |
10056 | is an exception to be made here? |
10056 | it is to begin in others?" |
10056 | it was Hwúi, was it not? |
10056 | or are the facts given him?" |
10056 | or because there are not voices and sounds enough to fill your ears? |
10056 | or because you have not enough of attendants and favorites to stand before you and receive your orders? |
10056 | or because you have not enough of beautifully colored objects to satisfy your eyes? |
10056 | or because you have not enough of light and warm clothing for your body? |
10056 | or words carrying only an outward semblance and show of gravity?" |
10056 | said he;"if I am not to do so for him, then-- for whom else?" |
10056 | said 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?" |
10056 | the great officers will say,''What is to be done to profit our families?'' |
10056 | when shall I again behold your Majesty? |
10056 | whom 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? |
34860 | A. T. fellow, when he go? |
34860 | After all, what can he do? |
34860 | Again, Henry? |
34860 | Am I being very vulgar? |
34860 | And Harry? |
34860 | And a look of peace came on your face as if you were in heaven and you said-- do you know what you said? |
34860 | And break his heart? |
34860 | And if in our hearts we despise and detest what you have to teach us? |
34860 | And is she in love with you? |
34860 | And what will become of your superiority when the yellow man can make as good guns as the white and fire them as straight? |
34860 | And whose fault is it? |
34860 | Are n''t you going to kiss me? |
34860 | Are the Fergusons waiting outside? |
34860 | Are the ladies of Peking giving her the cold shoulder? |
34860 | Are you going on the loose again to- night? |
34860 | Are you sure he''s alive? |
34860 | Are you sure this admiration of yours for all her admirable qualities isn''t-- love? |
34860 | Are you sure you do n''t say that on my account? |
34860 | Are you sure you know how to behave? |
34860 | Are you trying to shield her? |
34860 | Are your passions the weak and vacillating passions of the white man? |
34860 | At what time does the train from Kalgan get in? |
34860 | Because she was divorced on his account, you mean? |
34860 | But do you keep them here? |
34860 | But if I do n''t mind why should you? |
34860 | But what do I care as long as he comes? |
34860 | But wo n''t you find it rather a nuisance to have those old monks on the top of you all the time? |
34860 | But you do like him, do n''t you? |
34860 | By George, is n''t it stunning? |
34860 | By God, what''s this? |
34860 | Can she read English? |
34860 | Could you_ allow_ him to do that? |
34860 | D''you mind if I leave you? |
34860 | Daisy cry velly much if he die? |
34860 | Daisy, how can you be so superstitious? |
34860 | Daisy, what''s the matter? |
34860 | Daisy, what''s the matter? |
34860 | Did I not tell you that the white man''s love was weak and vacillating? |
34860 | Did Mr. Conway tell you? |
34860 | Did he advise you to go? |
34860 | Did n''t you hear anything, Daisy? |
34860 | Did you break with me yesterday so that you might be free to propose to her? |
34860 | Did you give them to Lee Tai to send? |
34860 | Did you see Freddy Baker by any chance? |
34860 | Did you tell him it was very important? |
34860 | Did you think I was going to run away? |
34860 | Did you trip? |
34860 | Do I bore you so much as all that? |
34860 | Do I look jaded? |
34860 | Do n''t you know that I loathe you? |
34860 | Do n''t you know what I shall be? |
34860 | Do n''t you like it? |
34860 | Do n''t you love me any more? |
34860 | Do 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? |
34860 | Do n''t you remember when I first came to Chung- king? |
34860 | Do n''t you see what that means to me? |
34860 | Do n''t you think she''s pretty? |
34860 | Do n''t you think that everyone is the best judge of his own happiness? |
34860 | Do n''t you want to amuse yourself? |
34860 | Do n''t you wish with all your heart that you had n''t married him? |
34860 | Do you call that you, a few conventional prejudices? |
34860 | Do you hear? |
34860 | Do you know her? |
34860 | Do you know it? |
34860 | Do you know that we tried an experiment which is unique in the world? |
34860 | Do you know what I felt for her? |
34860 | Do you know what he wants? |
34860 | Do you know what you said in your delirium? |
34860 | Do 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? |
34860 | Do you know why, afterwards, at night when you grew delirious I would n''t let Harry watch you? |
34860 | Do 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? |
34860 | Do you not know that there are in this country four hundred millions of the most practical and industrious people in the world? |
34860 | Do you not know that we have a genius for mechanics? |
34860 | Do you think I am a child to have everything arranged for me without a word? |
34860 | Do you think I can cry now? |
34860 | Do you think I do n''t know you? |
34860 | Do you think I''m a child? |
34860 | Do you think I''m crazy? |
34860 | Do you think I''m going to let you go now? |
34860 | Do you think I''ve done all I have to let you marry that silly little English girl? |
34860 | Do you think a woman cares twopence for a man''s love when she does n''t love him? |
34860 | Do you think he can forget me in four months? |
34860 | Do you think it really is injustice? |
34860 | Do you think it will take us long to learn? |
34860 | Do you think it would have seemed wrong and hateful if it had n''t been for Sylvia? |
34860 | Do you think it''s finished? |
34860 | Do you think my reputation is such a sensitive flower? |
34860 | Do you think that frightens me? |
34860 | Do you think the postmaster in a small Chinese city is a very lucrative position? |

34860 | I suppose you''ve absolutely made up your mind? |
34860 | I wait.... What have you to do with white men? |
34860 | I wonder if he can live one day without seeing you? |

34860 | You''ve never seen me in it? |
34860 | [ DAISY_ takes the_ AMAH''S_ long pipe in her hands._] Who does that belong to? |
34860 | [_ A little surprised, but quite good- humoured._] You''re getting rather excited, are n''t you? |
34860 | [_ After a moment''s pause._] What were you going to say to me? |
34860 | [_ After a moment''s thought._] And what will you do for me if I do this for you? |
34860 | [_ As though asking a casual question._] You do n''t care for me any more? |
34860 | [_ Coldly, but still smiling._] Ca n''t she? |
34860 | [_ Coming in._] What thing? |
34860 | [_ Distracted._] Oh, what shall I do? |
34860 | [_ Distressed._] Wo n''t your people be rather upset? |
34860 | [_ Dumbfounded._] What you mean, Daisy? |
34860 | [_ Fiercely._] What do you want? |
34860 | [_ Frightened._] What for? |
34860 | [_ Frigidly._] Ought n''t you to be going? |
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 | [_ 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?'' |
48882 | Ah, but you have not spoken of this? |
48882 | All the servants are on the beach, then? |
48882 | Am I not? |
48882 | An ancestress of hers, no doubt? |
48882 | And destroyed it, of course? |
48882 | And her hat? |
48882 | And here you are going to remain all night? |
48882 | And how should I know anything? 48882 And if you die in the meantime? |
48882 | And now can you explain it? |
48882 | And show my hand, you mean? 48882 And so that inhuman wretch is Marion''s mother?" |
48882 | And that is all you are going to tell me, Geoffrey? |
48882 | And there she is now? |
48882 | And to- night''s doings are to remain a secret? |
48882 | And what is that? |
48882 | And when I come back do I bring a joyful confession with me? |
48882 | And who is this gentleman? |
48882 | And why are you regarding me so intently? 48882 And why has Marion gone away?" |
48882 | And yet I rather gather that she does not hold first place in your affections? |
48882 | And you do n''t know who she is? |
48882 | And you expect me to believe this, Geoffrey? |
48882 | And you interfered to save the life of others? |
48882 | And you will not have a doctor? |
48882 | And you wo n''t be long? |
48882 | Are there any mysteries? |
48882 | Are they different to ours? |
48882 | Are we never going to do anything? |
48882 | Are you coming with us? |
48882 | Are you feeling better? |
48882 | Are you going to speak or shall I tell the story? 48882 Are you not my friend? |
48882 | Are you really leaving us? |
48882 | Are you sure of that? |
48882 | Are you thinking of the same thing that we are? |
48882 | As far as I am concerned, you mean? 48882 As you do?" |
48882 | But I suppose she came to see you? |
48882 | But can I cultivate her after to- night? |
48882 | But can they? |
48882 | But do you think you were wise to show this to me? |
48882 | But my mother and Geoffrey and----"Ah, you love Geoffrey? 48882 But surely this does not apply to my family?" |
48882 | But the light in the corridor? |
48882 | But was it an accident? |
48882 | But what can I want it for? 48882 But what do they want there?" |
48882 | But who was he, Tchigorsky? |
48882 | But why bring him here? |
48882 | But why does she come? |
48882 | But 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? |
48882 | But will this mystery and misery never end? |
48882 | But you have not always been blind? |
48882 | But you say that Marion was with Vera? |
48882 | But your curious expression----"What is curious about my expression? |
48882 | By the cruel foe, Marion? 48882 Can you let me out here, or shall I go by the same means that I entered?" |
48882 | Can you manage to keep her afloat? |
48882 | Can you not? |
48882 | Can you see anything? |
48882 | Could it have been the flowers? |
48882 | Could we prove that the foe had had a direct hand in the tragedies of the past? 48882 Dare you open it?" |
48882 | Dare you use it? |
48882 | Darling,he whispered,"you know that I love you?" |
48882 | Dear, do n''t you know that I am devoted heart and soul to your interests? 48882 Did I?" |
48882 | Did Tchigorsky tell you? |
48882 | Did n''t I always say as how he''d get through? 48882 Did she write to you?" |
48882 | Did you call out? |
48882 | Did you ever know me tell you a lie? 48882 Did you know that diary existed?" |
48882 | Did you really love your mother? |
48882 | Did you see her? |
48882 | Do it? 48882 Do n''t you like that woman?" |
48882 | Do n''t you see she is in the dark? 48882 Do you know anything of this?" |
48882 | Do you know you seem to be a long way off to me this afternoon? |
48882 | Do you mean that they perished with that stranger last night? |
48882 | Do you recognize the voice? |
48882 | Do you want anything more? |
48882 | Do you want to say anything to me? |
48882 | Do you want to see me? |
48882 | Does it hurt much? |
48882 | Does n''t it seem wonderful, Geoffrey? |
48882 | Does she account for her presence here? |
48882 | Does the slave reproach the master who keeps his carcass from the kennel? |
48882 | Dr. Tchigorsky is still about? |
48882 | Drowned, with a placid smile on his face, after the fashion of the novel? |
48882 | Foiled her? |
48882 | For Mrs. May''s benefit? |
48882 | For revenge on you two? |
48882 | Geoff, have you any suspicions? |
48882 | Geoff, was it you who snatched the cloth from the table? |
48882 | Geoffrey, Geoffrey, where are you? |
48882 | Geoffrey,Vera said after a long pause,"are we too happy?" |
48882 | Give you what, uncle? |
48882 | Had n''t we better search them? |
48882 | Have I not already explained to you, darling? |
48882 | Have we not trouble and misery enough in our house without making more? |
48882 | Have you been out to the west of Gull Point to- day? |
48882 | Have you discovered it all? |
48882 | Have you learned what the latest villainy is? |
48882 | Have you seen her? |
48882 | He was a very old friend of yours? |
48882 | Hence the changed face and the glasses? |
48882 | Horrible,he said,"but why this mystery?" |
48882 | How can you look me in the face after the way in which you have treated me? |
48882 | How could you prevent them? |
48882 | How did it happen? |
48882 | How did you get here? 48882 How did you get here?" |
48882 | How did you get here? |
48882 | How did you guess that? |
48882 | How did you manage it, uncle? |
48882 | How did you manage it? |
48882 | How is the visitor? |
48882 | How long can one endure this and live? 48882 How long has she been like this?" |
48882 | How long have I been asleep? |
48882 | How long will it last? |
48882 | How long, how long? 48882 How should I? |
48882 | How''s this for a disguise, Master Geoffrey? |
48882 | I am so sorry for you? |
48882 | I am to accompany you, then? |
48882 | I am your prisoner, then? |
48882 | I believe I have the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Ralph Ravenspur? |
48882 | I hope you are comfortable? |
48882 | I need not ask what opinion you have formed of me? |
48882 | I suppose I have to thank Mrs. May for this? |
48882 | I suppose they are a nuisance occasionally? |
48882 | I suppose you can do no more to- night? |
48882 | I suppose you planned everything out? |
48882 | In the name of Heaven, why? |
48882 | In the name of Heaven, why? |
48882 | In the ordinary bar- frame hives of course? |
48882 | In what way? |
48882 | In which direction? |
48882 | Is anything going to happen? |
48882 | Is it a fact? |
48882 | Is it a painless death? |
48882 | Is it as Jessop says? |
48882 | Is it dangerous? |
48882 | Is it possible to be too happy? |
48882 | Is it you, Elphick? |
48882 | Is my cousin Nicholas Tchigorsky? 48882 Is not my pulse steady? |
48882 | Is that because you think my secret is a shameful one? |
48882 | Is that you, Tchigorsky? |
48882 | Is the coast clear? |
48882 | Is the difference very marked? |
48882 | Is there another mystery? |
48882 | Is there any danger? |
48882 | Is there any need to go on? 48882 Is there anything I can do for you?" |
48882 | Is there anything in the morning papers that is likely to interest me, Abell? |
48882 | Is there danger? |
48882 | It is all right? |
48882 | It was not possible for him to be picked up? |
48882 | Lies just outside the window, does n''t he? |
48882 | Marion has come back again? |
48882 | Marion? |
48882 | Marion? |
48882 | May I assist you? |
48882 | May I venture to suggest that the knowledge is not displeasing to you? |
48882 | No more visions lately? |
48882 | Now what am I to do? |
48882 | Now, 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? |
48882 | Now, ca n''t you come up some evening and dine with me? 48882 Of course you ascertained her name?" |
48882 | Of what use is a blind man? |
48882 | Oh, so you know that also? |
48882 | Oh, will you never wake up? |
48882 | Oh, yes, uncle; are you a wizard or what? 48882 On the floor, my dear uncle?" |
48882 | Read your fortune in the stars? 48882 See whom?" |
48882 | Shall I go and see what it is? |
48882 | So that we are rid of our foes at last? |
48882 | So this is the Alton where you are going to- night? |
48882 | So you have been successful? |
48882 | So you have been taken into her confidence? |
48882 | Solved? |
48882 | Something has happened? |
48882 | Something to do with it? |
48882 | Straight to Jessop''s farm? |
48882 | Tchigorsky has disappeared? |
48882 | Tchigorsky not dead? |
48882 | Tchigorsky? |
48882 | Tell me what it means, Geoff? |
48882 | Tell me what the language says? |
48882 | That you propose to do? |
48882 | The marks on my face? 48882 The princess is convinced of that?" |
48882 | Then he has not been here to- day? |
48882 | Then my friend Tchigorsky is alive? |
48882 | Then the princess goes not back to Lassa? |
48882 | Then they are usually dangerous? |
48882 | Then who was it that was buried? |
48882 | Then why did he come here? |
48882 | Then why do you take every means of thwarting me? |
48882 | Then why not drop upon them? |
48882 | Then why should you worry? |
48882 | Then you are not going to take any notice of the warning? |
48882 | Then you have no theory to offer? |
48882 | Then you have not guessed? |
48882 | Then, in that case, sir, why do n''t you? |
48882 | There is nobody about? |
48882 | There is nobody within earshot of us? |
48882 | There was one traveler who found the key, you remember? |
48882 | They are great friends? |
48882 | They guess I am a victim to the vendetta? |
48882 | They managed to elude you? |
48882 | Uncle Ralph, do you know what it is? |
48882 | Uncle, how did you guess that? |
48882 | Uncle,she stammered,"what are you doing here?" |
48882 | Very,Geoffrey said dryly;"but where is Marion?" |
48882 | Was it imported for the purpose? |
48882 | Was she young and good looking? |
48882 | Was that not so, Vera? |
48882 | Wass and Watkins, will you come with me? |
48882 | Well, I suppose I must go, too? |
48882 | Well, was the adventure this evening creepy enough for you? |
48882 | Well, what am I to do with it? |
48882 | Well,Tchigorsky asked,"have you solved the problem?" |
48882 | Well,he said,"have you anything wonderful to relate?" |
48882 | Well? |
48882 | Well? |
48882 | Were you ever in Tibet? |
48882 | What am I to understand by that, sir? |
48882 | What are you doing? |
48882 | What are you going to do with me? |
48882 | What are you going to do? |
48882 | What are you going to do? |
48882 | What are you looking for? |
48882 | What are you thinking about? |
48882 | What became of the fellow? |
48882 | What better proof could the slave of my illustrious mistress have? |
48882 | What can an unfortunate like that have to live for? |
48882 | What can it matter whether there is an inquest held on them or not? 48882 What could we gain by that? |
48882 | What did it mean? |
48882 | What did you think of the episode? |
48882 | What difference does it make? |
48882 | What do you make that out to be? |
48882 | What do you mean by that? |
48882 | What do you mean by that? |
48882 | What do you propose to do? |
48882 | What do you say, Uncle Ralph? |
48882 | What do you with your gentle nature know of love? 48882 What does all this mystery mean?" |
48882 | What does it all mean? |
48882 | What does it matter? |
48882 | What does it mean, Marion? |
48882 | What does it mean, uncle? |
48882 | What good would that do? |
48882 | What have I done? |
48882 | What is all this about? |
48882 | What is her hold over Marion? |
48882 | What is it, what is it? |
48882 | What is it? |
48882 | What is it? |
48882 | What is it? |
48882 | What is that choking smell? |
48882 | What is that noise? |
48882 | What is the confusion in the house? |
48882 | What is the matter with the girl? |
48882 | What is the matter? |
48882 | What is the matter? |
48882 | What is the matter? |
48882 | What is the matter? |
48882 | What is the next move? |
48882 | What is your name? |
48882 | What matter? |
48882 | What shall you do about it? |
48882 | What should be the matter? |
48882 | What should they want? 48882 What should we do without you?" |
48882 | What was she doing? |
48882 | What will be her fate? |
48882 | What would Vera say? |
48882 | What''s the matter, little girl? |
48882 | What, go away and leave me all alone, dearest? |
48882 | What, indeed? |
48882 | When does he come here? |
48882 | Where am I? |
48882 | Where are they going? |
48882 | Where are you going to sleep? |
48882 | Where are you going to take me? |
48882 | Where are you going? |
48882 | Where are you? |
48882 | Where did I leave off? 48882 Where did I leave off?" |
48882 | Where did she go? |
48882 | Where have you been? |
48882 | Where they are attached to a queer- looking instrument? |
48882 | Who are you and whence do you come? |
48882 | Who are you, and whence do you come? |
48882 | Who are you? |
48882 | Who are you? |
48882 | Who are you? |
48882 | Who can she be? |
48882 | Who could fail to? |
48882 | Who did it? |
48882 | Who gave you this, and what is your message? |
48882 | Who is she? |
48882 | Who is the new marvel? |
48882 | Who is the woman? 48882 Who is there?" |
48882 | Who knows but that she had discovered some plot against us and had come to warn us? 48882 Who laid this labyrinth?" |
48882 | Who opened the window? |
48882 | Who was it who tampered with the boat? |
48882 | Who was the victim, uncle? |
48882 | Who will help me upstairs? 48882 Why do n''t you denounce me now?" |
48882 | Why do you drag me here? |
48882 | Why do you intrude upon me like this? 48882 Why not produce your proofs and hand the miscreants over to the police?" |
48882 | Why not? 48882 Why not? |
48882 | Why not? |
48882 | Why should they have fascinated us in that strange way? 48882 Why should we sit here like this?" |
48882 | Why should you all live and prosper while he was dead? |
48882 | Why should you do this thing? |
48882 | Why your fault? 48882 Why?" |
48882 | Why? |
48882 | Why? |
48882 | Why? |
48882 | Will it ever be lifted, sir? |
48882 | Will 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?" |
48882 | Will somebody ring the bell? |
48882 | Will you tell him so? 48882 Wo n''t you tell me now?" |
48882 | Wo n''t you tell me what has happened? |
48882 | Woman? |
48882 | Would she recognize us? 48882 Would the Ravenspurs outrage the sacred name of hospitality like that? |
48882 | Yes, but what had the dream and the powder to do with it, little girl? |
48882 | You are better? |
48882 | You are getting near the truth? |
48882 | You are going to London alone? |
48882 | You are in Dr. Tchigorsky''s confidence? |
48882 | You are interested in the Ravenspur case? |
48882 | You are not afraid of the family terror? |
48882 | You are sure you can not get up? |
48882 | You are under the impression that I am not English? |
48882 | You dare ask me that question? |
48882 | You did not tell those servants their fortunes in your present garb? |
48882 | You do not care for white flowers? |
48882 | You find it strange? |
48882 | You found her charming? |
48882 | You got it, eh? |
48882 | You had a good look at it, then? |
48882 | You have found the culprit? |
48882 | You have no hope, no expectation of the truth coming to light? |
48882 | You have not given up all hope? |
48882 | You have not guessed who the Princess is, then? |
48882 | You have proofs of what you say? |
48882 | You heard all this? |
48882 | You heard her, then? |
48882 | You knew the day you got here? |
48882 | You say it is impossible for that woman to get away? |
48882 | You say this is the place? |
48882 | You wanted to see my father? |
48882 | You wo n''t betray yourself? |
48882 | You, 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? |
48882 | Am I never to have a minute to myself? |
48882 | Am I not an object of pity? |
48882 | Am I to believe that you are not going to be true to your oath?" |
48882 | Am I to regard myself as a prisoner, then?" |
48882 | And Marion?" |
48882 | And how could he broach the matter of Tchigorsky without betraying Marion? |
48882 | And how many times has Vera seen me kiss you? |
48882 | And if I did lose you, darling, what would become of me?" |
48882 | And now will you promise me that you will say nothing of this to a soul?" |
48882 | And the others?" |
48882 | And was not Marion equally mysterious? |
48882 | And was she not here----here a guest among those who for some reason she hated from her soul? |
48882 | And was this the wildest comedy or the direst tragedy that was working out before his eyes? |
48882 | And what are you doing with that feminine- looking box?" |
48882 | And what could the bees have to do with it? |
48882 | And what did that light mean? |
48882 | And where has the fellow gone?" |
48882 | And where was Marion? |
48882 | And why did everybody leave her so severely alone? |
48882 | And why do they commit follies with their eyes wide open? |
48882 | And why had Marion not returned? |
48882 | And why should these people persecute him; why should they come here? |
48882 | And why waste the breath that would be so precious to him later? |
48882 | And yet where could he get the poison? |
48882 | Any color?" |
48882 | Are you going home?" |
48882 | Are you going?" |
48882 | Are you ready?" |
48882 | Are you right? |
48882 | Are you still suffering from a headache?" |
48882 | Are you, Tchigorsky?" |
48882 | But had Marion a sister?" |
48882 | But how are we going to get rid of those things?" |
48882 | But what are you doing?" |
48882 | But what brings them here? |
48882 | But what has Mrs. May to do with it?" |
48882 | But what room did she go into?" |
48882 | But where are you going?" |
48882 | But who would believe my accusation?" |
48882 | But why do you speak like this to- day?" |
48882 | But why do you want to have that woman under the roof?" |
48882 | But why go on like this? |
48882 | But why not meet him in daylight in a proper and natural manner?" |
48882 | But would n''t it be well to make sure?" |
48882 | By the way, have you concocted a plausible story to account for your escape?" |
48882 | By the way, what is it I hear about your finding a body down on the sands?" |
48882 | CHAPTER LI"WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?" |
48882 | CHAPTER LVII HAND AND FOOT What did it mean? |
48882 | CHAPTER XV RALPH RAVENSPUR''S CONCEIT"I should like to know why you wanted the ivory picture?" |
48882 | CHAPTER XVII WHENCE DID THEY COME? |
48882 | Ca n''t you tell me a little more? |
48882 | Can the leopard change his spots? |
48882 | Can you be any the worse because you are bound by some tie to that woman yonder? |
48882 | Can you stand there calmly and see----""See you making an ass of yourself, eh? |
48882 | Could I have the heart to do so after all you have done for my family? |
48882 | Could I see one of those charming girls, Miss Vera or Marion? |
48882 | Could she recognize me?" |
48882 | Could the mind of man imagine a more diabolical torture? |
48882 | Could we demonstrate to the satisfaction of a jury that Mrs. May and her confederates were responsible for those poisoned flowers or the bees? |
48882 | Dear Geoff, will it be long before all this anxiety is disposed of?" |
48882 | Did I not possess the occult knowledge of the East with a thorough knowledge of what you are pleased to call Western civilization? |
48882 | Did I not tell you that the attempt had been made and had failed? |
48882 | Did Ralph know everything, or was he as ignorant as the rest? |
48882 | Did not Princess Zaza pick you both out at Lassa?" |
48882 | Did the people of the castle suspect her? |
48882 | Did this man know the terrible position he had placed her in? |
48882 | Did you ever see Tibet bees?" |
48882 | Did you hear anything they were saying?" |
48882 | Did you manage to get a clue to what it was?" |
48882 | Did you notice anything as you came along?" |
48882 | Did you notice the eyes of the Princess?" |
48882 | Do n''t we all love you the same? |
48882 | Do n''t you remember my telling you how the princess spoke of him? |
48882 | Do n''t you remember?" |
48882 | Do n''t you see that they have missed me?" |
48882 | Do n''t you think it was a queer thing?" |
48882 | Do n''t you think that Jessop''s lodger must be a very extravagant kind of woman?" |
48882 | Do n''t you understand that she suspects she has been trapped? |
48882 | Do you know anything of this, I say?" |
48882 | Do you know who the guilty creature is, whose hand is actually striking the blow?" |
48882 | Do you mean to say you know what it is?" |
48882 | Do you propose to make the capture to- night?" |
48882 | Do you really mean that?" |
48882 | Do you recognize anything beyond the legitimate perfume?" |
48882 | Do you see anything else here?" |
48882 | Do you suppose that I could ever forget the love and affection that have been poured upon me? |
48882 | Do you understand what I mean?" |
48882 | Do you want anything?" |
48882 | Does he court defeat at the outset of our enterprise?" |
48882 | Does it not seem funny to realize that before long we shall be laughing and chatting and moving with the world once more, Geoff? |
48882 | Does it not sound strange? |
48882 | Does my face tell you nothing?" |
48882 | Geoffrey, are you indifferent to myself and my future that you speak like this?" |
48882 | Geoffrey, you are fond of novel reading?" |
48882 | Geoffrey, you will see that all proper arrangements are made for the funeral?" |
48882 | Get inspiration from the heavenly bodies to combat the power of darkness?" |
48882 | Grandfather, you would not turn him away?" |
48882 | Had he left it in the dining- room or the library? |
48882 | Had he not arranged it so that a score of savants in Europe should learn the truth within a month of his decease? |
48882 | Had he not said that everything hinged upon her reticence and silence? |
48882 | Had he not seen her return after the boat had been beached and mourn over the wreck like some creature suffering from deep remorse? |
48882 | Had he not seen the girl hastening away from his boat? |
48882 | Had her subordinates heard her cry? |
48882 | Had not she a secret in common with Ralph? |
48882 | Had she really seen this thing or had she dreamed it? |
48882 | Had she said too much or did he suspect? |
48882 | Had the affair miscarried and the miscreants got away in some other direction? |
48882 | Had they fled, or had they been taken? |
48882 | Had you not a daughter?" |
48882 | Has Mrs. May a companion hidden somewhere, a companion who might be Marion''s sister?" |
48882 | Has Vera been arguing with the bees again?" |
48882 | Has anything happened here?" |
48882 | Has the stuff any particular smell?" |
48882 | Have I been mistaken in you, Vera?" |
48882 | Have you a heart at all, or are you a beautiful fiend?" |
48882 | Have you any doubt?" |
48882 | Have you discovered that, Tchigorsky?" |
48882 | Have you done that?" |
48882 | Have you no feeling?" |
48882 | He was poisoned, you think?" |
48882 | How did he die? |
48882 | How did he escape?" |
48882 | How did it all happen? |
48882 | How did you manage to deal him that blow on the head, uncle?" |
48882 | How did you manage to get away, Geoffrey?" |
48882 | How do you think my sketch is progressing? |
48882 | How long are you going to detain me here?" |
48882 | How long have you known her?" |
48882 | How much did she know? |
48882 | How much had she guessed? |
48882 | How much more of this is it possible to bear and still retain the powers of reason? |
48882 | How?" |
48882 | I do n''t know whether you know the man-- his name is Tchigorsky?" |
48882 | I suppose you recognized the risks that you ran?'' |
48882 | I will kill them off-- they shall die----""As my mistress slew her husband when his life was of no more value to her?" |
48882 | If they had fled, had they removed the instruments with them? |
48882 | Is Marion connected with her?" |
48882 | Is it not strange that I have the seeds of the same complaint?" |
48882 | Is it possible that he suspected anything? |
48882 | Is there a fire laid here?" |
48882 | Is there anything else?" |
48882 | Is-- is it dangerous?" |
48882 | Jessop?" |
48882 | Marion, where are your tender feelings?" |
48882 | May?" |
48882 | May?" |
48882 | May?" |
48882 | May?" |
48882 | Mr. Ravenspur, surely you have guessed who was the English officer Princess Zara married?" |
48882 | Need I say more?" |
48882 | Now do you understand what it all means?" |
48882 | Now, do you begin to understand the malignity of the plot? |
48882 | Or was he the poor creature he represented himself to be? |
48882 | Ralph, can you induce your father and the whole family to go away for a time-- say till after dark?" |
48882 | Ralph, do you know anything?" |
48882 | Ralph, everybody has retired?" |
48882 | Ralph, what is it? |
48882 | Ravenspur, are you ready?" |
48882 | See, is there blood on this knife?" |
48882 | Shall I see your father?" |
48882 | Shall I tell you how?" |
48882 | Shall we enlighten Master Geoffrey a little as to the kind of woman she is?" |
48882 | Shall we go to bed?" |
48882 | Shall we see if we can get as far as Sprawl Point and back before luncheon?" |
48882 | She was trapped, eh?" |
48882 | She wrote to you, of course?" |
48882 | So Tchigorsky is in danger, eh? |
48882 | Surely her grief must be beyond the common? |
48882 | Surely, you do not need to be told why you are detained?" |
48882 | Tchigorsky?" |
48882 | Tell me, do you ever see this Mrs. May by any chance?" |
48882 | They had something with them?" |
48882 | To strike him down foully had been too dangerous, for had he not told her that he was prepared for that kind of death? |
48882 | Was he dangerous enough to be removed? |
48882 | Was he telling the truth, or was he spying on her? |
48882 | Was it possible that some such horrible thoughts had crossed Marion''s mind? |
48882 | Was n''t it plucky of her?" |
48882 | Was she entirely in the dark as to her mother''s machinations, or had she come resolved to protect the relatives as much as possible? |
48882 | Was she still in the vaults or had she managed to slip away to her bedroom? |
48882 | We are alone?" |
48882 | Well, are you going to convey us to a place of safety, or shall we shoot you like the others?''" |
48882 | What am I saying?" |
48882 | What are they going to do now?" |
48882 | What are you going to do about it?" |
48882 | What are you to me?" |
48882 | What are you? |
48882 | What can Marion''s queer ancestors and all that kind of thing have to do with our family terror?" |
48882 | What could have become of him? |
48882 | What could it mean? |
48882 | What could the mysterious foe hope to gain by this merciless slaughter? |
48882 | What did it mean, what strange mystery was here? |
48882 | What did it mean? |
48882 | What did the other girl wear?" |
48882 | What did this girl know about him, and why did she stand wailing over his boat? |
48882 | What did those men mean by drowning themselves in the vaults? |
48882 | What do we know of them? |
48882 | What do you make of it, uncle?" |
48882 | What do you mean?'' |
48882 | What do you see outside?" |
48882 | What does it matter what I do?" |
48882 | What flowers?" |
48882 | What had become of the coat and glass mask she was wearing at the time things went wrong in Geoffrey Ravenspur''s room? |
48882 | What happened?" |
48882 | What has become of her?" |
48882 | What have I to fear now from those wise men of the East? |
48882 | What have you two been quarreling about?" |
48882 | What next? |
48882 | What should we do without her?" |
48882 | What should we do without you? |
48882 | What should we do without your cheerfulness and good advice? |
48882 | What time is it?" |
48882 | What to do next? |
48882 | What use is the Ravenspur property to us when we are doomed to die?" |
48882 | What was going on? |
48882 | What was going to happen next? |
48882 | What was it?" |
48882 | What was it?" |
48882 | What was the use of calling so long as nobody could hear him? |
48882 | What would the estimable Jessop say if he could see into his parlor?" |
48882 | When we get Voski''s body, what shall we do with it?" |
48882 | Whence come these cruel misfortunes? |
48882 | Where are the bees?" |
48882 | Where are those scripts?'' |
48882 | Where are you going, dear?" |
48882 | Where are your proofs?" |
48882 | Where had he heard a laugh like that before? |
48882 | Who can help the wayward driftings of a woman''s heart? |
48882 | Who could connect the poor blind man with the deed? |
48882 | Who did it?" |
48882 | Who is it?" |
48882 | Who shall comprehend the waywardness of a woman''s heart? |
48882 | Who was this man who knew so much and could probe her secret soul? |
48882 | Who, then, is the prime mover in this business?" |
48882 | Why are clever people often so foolish? |
48882 | Why do we never hear of that sort of poison nowadays?" |
48882 | Why do you feel for things in that way?" |
48882 | Why does she do it, Tchigorsky?" |
48882 | Why 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? |
48882 | Why had his uncle and the mysterious Tchigorsky taken him so far into their confidence and then failed him at the critical moment? |
48882 | Why had she not thought of this before? |
48882 | Why not end her life now? |
48882 | Why not kill off her husband''s family one by one so that finally the estates should come to her? |
48882 | Why not let them enter and then take them all red- handed?" |
48882 | Why should I go on leading my present life? |
48882 | Why should I shield you? |
48882 | Why should this blow fall after the lapse of all these years? |
48882 | Why should you say that?" |
48882 | Why was there all this commotion in the house? |
48882 | Why, then, should Marion be disturbed? |
48882 | Why, then, should her good name be dragged in the mire? |
48882 | Why? |
48882 | Why?" |
48882 | Why?" |
48882 | Why?" |
48882 | Will 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? |
48882 | Will you, dear?" |
48882 | Wo n''t you do this thing? |
48882 | Wo n''t you say that it is a sudden whim of yours? |
48882 | Wonderfully artistic, is n''t it?" |
48882 | Would it never stop? |
48882 | Would the time to act never come? |
48882 | Would you have your enemies to guess that you have seen my master? |
48882 | Would you like to see the letter? |
48882 | Would you say that the condemned murderer was rash for attempting to pick the pocket of the gaoler, even for attempting to murder him? |
48882 | Would you take pity upon my loneliness and come to tea?" |
48882 | You are better, sir?" |
48882 | You are not afraid of danger?" |
48882 | You are not afraid?" |
48882 | You are still interested in occult matters?" |
48882 | You follow me?" |
48882 | You have not far to go, of course?" |
48882 | You have sent him somewhere, uncle?" |
48882 | You hear?" |
48882 | You know nothing of the boy?" |
48882 | You know why I am here?" |
48882 | You would n''t think she was a woman whose heart is in a weak state, eh?" |
48882 | You would not reproach me, Ben Heer?" |
48882 | Your friend here?" |
48882 | can you hear anything?" |
48882 | is there no mercy for us?" |
28780 | ''Sthat you, Sparks? |
28780 | A part of what? |
28780 | Aerial do n''t leak, does it? |
28780 | Ah-- do you mind if I ask a few questions? 28780 All what?" |
28780 | Am I? |
28780 | And does the brave one admire my sarong? |
28780 | And how much do I owe you, small one? |
28780 | And leave you behind? 28780 And they have taken her to Len Yang?" |
28780 | And what has become of your prudence? 28780 And you imagine you''re running no risk with the two golden- haired maids in tow?" |
28780 | And you''ll get that silly old notion of a bungalow for two out of your head? |
28780 | And you? 28780 Are n''t you connected with my good friend, the man with the sea- lion mustaches, in Len Yang?" |
28780 | Are n''t you glad-- aren''t you a little bit glad-- to see me-- me? |
28780 | Are n''t you going to explain-- anything? 28780 Are you armed?" |
28780 | Are you awake? |
28780 | Are you going on to Len Yang this time, Peter? |
28780 | Are you grateful to me, you two? 28780 Are you rested? |
28780 | Are you-- Peter Moore, known in some parts of China as-- Peter the Brazen? |
28780 | Are-- you are not joking, are you, Miss Borria? 28780 Are-- you-- Peter-- Moore?" |
28780 | Because I love you so? |
28780 | Because of me? |
28780 | Because you loved me so? |
28780 | But how did you know? |
28780 | But what does this mean-- this? |
28780 | But why all the hubbub about Peter Moore? |
28780 | But why are you telling such things to me, my brave one? |
28780 | But why did you send for them? 28780 But why does he want beautiful young girls for his mine, my son?" |
28780 | But why the Jap-- disguise? 28780 But why,_ bi_--my brave one?" |
28780 | But why-- why does he beat you? 28780 But you''re not sure-- now?" |
28780 | But, Miss Borria,writhed Peter,"why, with all this knowledge, has n''t he done away with me? |
28780 | Ca n''t we break away from this mob and have a little chin- chin by ourselves? |
28780 | Can a man live with a bullet in his heart? |
28780 | Can do? |
28780 | Can it be possible----? |
28780 | Can it interest you? 28780 Can we see them?" |
28780 | Can you forgive me for this-- way I have acted, my-- my ingratitude? |
28780 | Can you swim-- at all? |
28780 | Chinamen? 28780 Chinks?" |
28780 | Cinnabar from his mine is brought down the Yangtze on junks and transferred at Soo- chow? |
28780 | Complete our plans? |
28780 | Dead or alive, Peter? |
28780 | Did n''t tamper with the bullets, eh? |
28780 | Did they harm you? |
28780 | Did you ever put your arm around another woman before? |
28780 | Do n''t I act like an amateur? |
28780 | Do n''t you know it breaks a government rule when that room''s empty-- at sea? |
28780 | Do n''t you suppose a woman would do almost as well? |
28780 | Do n''t you suppose my curiosity was aroused when you threw the coolie overboard? 28780 Do n''t_ you_ ever feel lonely-- like this?" |
28780 | Do you hear, Naradia? |
28780 | Do you mean, how does one reach Len Yang? |
28780 | Do you mean-- static? 28780 Do you remember those wonderful days and evenings we spent together on the Java Sea, on the old_ Persian Gulf_? |
28780 | Do you? |
28780 | Do-- do you l- love her as much as th- this? |
28780 | Do-- do you mind very-- much? |
28780 | Does your heart ache, too, Peter? |
28780 | Drugs? |
28780 | Eh? 28780 Election bet?" |
28780 | Empty? |
28780 | Feel the motion? |
28780 | Follow_ lan- sà ®_ veil-- savvy? |
28780 | Foolish? |
28780 | For these few minutes, when we were to chatter, and make love, and be happy? |
28780 | Forty? |
28780 | Fourteen days from Shanghai to Len Yang? |
28780 | From where? |
28780 | From_ him_? |
28780 | Good God, who said anything about being a watchdog? |
28780 | Good enough; but will they be careful afterward? |
28780 | Has China got the best of you, Peter? |
28780 | Has the lookout reported any ship in the past hour excepting the_ Rover_? |
28780 | Has your grandmother a sampan, a trustworthy coolie? |
28780 | Have I been interfering with the lawful pursuits of the Chinese Empire? |
28780 | Have you a costume? |
28780 | Have you good hearing? |
28780 | Have you seen Miss Vost? |
28780 | Have you stopped them? |
28780 | He pays well, my son? |
28780 | He-- is dead? |
28780 | How did you get here alive? |
28780 | How did you guess? |
28780 | How is Peggy? |
28780 | I am quite powerless? |
28780 | I need no guide, then? 28780 I? |
28780 | I? 28780 I?" |
28780 | If I decide yes-- or if I decide no-- how can I defend myself? |
28780 | If the_ fokie_ returns with that message, you will write a short note----"To one you love? |
28780 | If your hero resents my robbing him of one stingy, little kiss---- Band? 28780 In search of more adventure and romance? |
28780 | Is that Peter Moore? 28780 Is that all?" |
28780 | Is that the_ Rover_ on our port quarter? |
28780 | Is that why you are growing a beard-- to surprise--_him_? |
28780 | Is-- he-- on-- board? |
28780 | Is-- is my end so close? |
28780 | It says that? |
28780 | Keep away-- ai? |
28780 | Last night''s affair,_ desu- ka_? |
28780 | Licksha? |
28780 | Lo Ong,stated Moore,"my wanchee you keep mouth shut-- allatime shut-- you savvy?" |
28780 | Lookin''for information? |
28780 | MacLaurin? 28780 May I ask: Who are you?" |
28780 | May I see her-- once-- before I die? |
28780 | Meaning-- me? |
28780 | Mr. 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? |
28780 | Naradia,he continued, lowering his voice gently,"now that Peter Moore and I are at last together, will you excuse us? |
28780 | No come buy? |
28780 | No escape? |
28780 | No go Hong Kong way? |
28780 | Noticed anything else? |
28780 | Now, where, oh where, do I fit in this scheme? |
28780 | Of course you refused? 28780 Of that?" |
28780 | Once-- means''yes?'' 28780 Perhaps you can tell me what became of the man who opened my door?" |
28780 | Peter, 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?" |
28780 | Peter, tell me, why is it? 28780 Peter, tell me----""Yes, Romola?" |
28780 | Quite sure he imports them to work in the mines? |
28780 | River boat-- for Ching- Fu? |
28780 | Romola, will you answer a question? |
28780 | Say, you young prize- fighter,he sputtered,"you drunk? |
28780 | Shall we take a car- ride? |
28780 | Should n''t you have an operating- room? |
28780 | Since you do know that somebody is being kidnapped on this ship----"What in hell do you mean? |
28780 | So this is love? |
28780 | So, after all, you refuse to take my counsel, my advice, seriously? |
28780 | Speak English, eh? |
28780 | Speak God''s language, eh? |
28780 | Stag what? |
28780 | Stay allatime on_ King Asia_? |
28780 | That was why you happened along the bund about the time the boat came up- river? |
28780 | That will be safe, that sampan? |
28780 | The doctor? 28780 The red note?" |
28780 | The up- river trip? |
28780 | The wireless operator? 28780 Then you did n''t know I was on my way to China?" |
28780 | Then you will go up- river with me? |
28780 | Then you will stay in this room until we leave? |
28780 | Then, why,demanded Eileen, giving him a hungry little look,"did n''t you let me stay in Shanghai?" |
28780 | They are still anxious for you to come with them? |
28780 | This is your first trip? |
28780 | This-- is_ adieu_--or_ au revoir_? |
28780 | To Canton, too? |
28780 | To permit me to live and love until one to- morrow morning? |
28780 | To you? |
28780 | To-- Bobbie? |
28780 | Unless what? |
28780 | V-- V-- V-- V---- What station is that? 28780 Wanchee money-- cumshaw?" |
28780 | Wanchee my? |
28780 | Wanchee tea now? |
28780 | Wanchee you come help; savvy? |
28780 | Want a shore station for a while? |
28780 | Want me to finish your trick? |
28780 | We are safe, brave one? |
28780 | Well, could n''t you stir up something? 28780 Well, what of it?" |
28780 | Well? |
28780 | Well? |
28780 | Were you in the loft above Ah Sih King''s? |
28780 | What am I doing here? 28780 What am I forgetting?" |
28780 | What are we going to do? |
28780 | What are you prowlin''around ship this time o''night for, eh? 28780 What can I do? |
28780 | What did I say? |
28780 | What do you mean by that? 28780 What do you mean?" |
28780 | What do you mean? |
28780 | What does he want? |
28780 | What does this little girl mean to you? |
28780 | What does_ he_ care about the mines? 28780 What happened? |
28780 | What have I that this maiden desires? |
28780 | What have you done with her? |
28780 | What have you to say now? |
28780 | What if I am? |
28780 | What is a thousand taels to him? 28780 What is it?" |
28780 | What is my task? |
28780 | What is the matter? |
28780 | What is to become of us? |
28780 | What shall I say? |
28780 | What the hell do you want? |
28780 | What under the seven suns are you doing in Ching- Fu-- and Kialang-- and China? 28780 What was I about to say? |
28780 | What will become of you? |
28780 | What''s botherin''you? 28780 What''s new? |
28780 | What''s next? |
28780 | What''s on your mind, Jen? |
28780 | What''s that? |
28780 | What''s this? |
28780 | What''s to become of you? 28780 What''s''at?" |
28780 | What-- what for? |
28780 | What? |
28780 | When did you see Miss Vost? |
28780 | Where are they? |
28780 | Where are you? 28780 Where did you find it?" |
28780 | Where do I eat? 28780 Where do you want me to t- take you?" |
28780 | Where does your aged grandmother live, small one? |
28780 | Where is Len Yang? |
28780 | Where now, Peter? |
28780 | Where? |
28780 | Who are the occupants of stateroom forty- four? |
28780 | Who are you? |
28780 | Who is on watch? 28780 Who is there?" |
28780 | Who, my son? |
28780 | Why are beautiful women-- girls-- from all parts of the world stolen-- to work in that mine? |
28780 | Why are you dressed as a Jap? |
28780 | Why are you following me? |
28780 | Why are you in Ching- Fu? 28780 Why did n''t you ask me?" |
28780 | Why did n''t you tell me you were in danger? 28780 Why did you do that?" |
28780 | Why did you do that? |
28780 | Why do n''t you join them? 28780 Why is Miss Vost making the trip to Ching- Fu?" |
28780 | Why is he drunk? |
28780 | Why not? |
28780 | Why should I go to Liauchow? |
28780 | Why should I? 28780 Why should he stab me?" |
28780 | Why speak of death on a day like this? |
28780 | Why you up so early-- or so late? 28780 Why?" |
28780 | Will there be a row? |
28780 | Will there be another time, Peter? |
28780 | Will we let husband go along? |
28780 | Will you help me-- now? |
28780 | With me? |
28780 | Wo n''t I see you again? 28780 Wo n''t you take me?" |
28780 | Would you mind sort of summing up what you''ve just said? |
28780 | You Wanchee cumshaw? |
28780 | You allatime go Hong Kong way? |
28780 | You and I? |
28780 | You are not married-- to Eileen? |
28780 | You are safe? 28780 You came for me, Peter?" |
28780 | You did try? |
28780 | You do n''t care about this Professor Hodgson, do you? |
28780 | You do n''t happen to know,put in Peter ironically,"what Miss Lorimer had for breakfast this morning, by any chance?" |
28780 | You do n''t mind? |
28780 | You have asked him questions? |
28780 | You have decided nothing, then? |
28780 | You have not forgotten-- Kowloon,_ busar satu_? |
28780 | You have some knowledge of my encounters with-- dragons? |
28780 | You keep away-- ai? |
28780 | You know nodding of dot business, young man? |
28780 | You like dis ship, eh? |
28780 | You made this-- for me? |
28780 | You see? |
28780 | You stay with me, do you hear? |
28780 | You tell man- man, eh? |
28780 | You used a coil? |
28780 | You wanchee my? |
28780 | You wanted to find out if I still cared enough for you to----"Follow me? 28780 You will not leave this ship? |
28780 | You''re not anxious, Peter? |
28780 | You''re not hurt-- either of you? 28780 You''re taking the_ Hankow_ up- river to- morrow?" |
28780 | You-- what was that? |
28780 | You-- who are so thirsty for the gold of romance? |
28780 | You-- you wo n''t bring that dreadful automatic revolver of yours loaded-- will you? |
28780 | Young girls? |
28780 | Your husband''s nationality? |
28780 | Your 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? |
28780 | A day? |
28780 | A half million gold a year? |
28780 | A life? |
28780 | An end of the glorious adventures whose trail he had followed now for well upon ten years? |
28780 | An hour of life? |
28780 | An hour? |
28780 | And I rather liked the two little girls-- twins, are n''t they?" |
28780 | And he will carry on your work?" |
28780 | And how? |
28780 | And then-- death? |
28780 | And then-- what? |
28780 | And where is it?" |
28780 | And who is Len Yang?" |
28780 | And wiser men than Peter have answered: What can be so harmful? |
28780 | And, Eileen----""Yes, Peter?" |
28780 | Answer: What am I?" |
28780 | Any one back there?" |
28780 | Anything wrong?" |
28780 | Are n''t you running some risk, though? |
28780 | Are we in a trap?" |
28780 | Are you Peter Moore?" |
28780 | Are you armed?" |
28780 | At 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? |
28780 | At one---- A fighting chance? |
28780 | At present will you trust me as I trust you?" |
28780 | B. Whalen, the Marconi supervisor?" |
28780 | Bellowing inquiry came down to them:"Who is that? |
28780 | Both girls safe?" |
28780 | But I could have defended myself easily enough if it had not been for----""Your clip of cartridges? |
28780 | But are you acquainted with that man''s methods? |
28780 | But how-- what?" |
28780 | But the others, the black- coated one-- what of them? |
28780 | But there is no danger-- is there?" |
28780 | But what is there left in my life? |
28780 | But what was happening? |
28780 | But where was the crew of the_ Vandalia_? |
28780 | But why, Peter, did you attack poor Kahn Meng? |
28780 | But why----""Peter, I''ve gone to more trouble to- night than you realize, perhaps----""What do you want me to do?" |
28780 | But why? |
28780 | But why? |
28780 | But, Mr. Moore, do you believe in love at first sight?" |
28780 | But-- what difference? |
28780 | By dawn, if I am not there, it will mean----""Death?" |
28780 | Ca n''t you and I have tea to- morrow afternoon?" |
28780 | Ca n''t you, Peter? |
28780 | Call 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?" |
28780 | Can I have her?" |
28780 | Can you believe I have lied?" |
28780 | Can you ever forgive me for taking them out? |
28780 | Can you forgive me? |
28780 | Can you understand me? |
28780 | Crazy? |
28780 | Death? |
28780 | Death? |
28780 | Did he possess good papers? |
28780 | Did n''t I try? |
28780 | Did n''t you say that to yourself, Peter?" |
28780 | Did she have some message to convey to him that she could not trust to the openness of the bund at the jetty? |
28780 | Did that fellow get you?" |
28780 | Did they harm you? |
28780 | Did you enjoy-- the game? |
28780 | Did you ever see a hero wearing a plain black four- in- hand? |
28780 | Did you ever see a hero wearing nice tan oxfords without a spot of mud on them? |
28780 | Did you ever see such a Chinaman?" |
28780 | Did you succeed? |
28780 | Do I speak the truth?" |
28780 | Do n''t you realize it? |
28780 | Do n''t you think you are exposing those two nice girls unnecessarily to danger?" |
28780 | Do n''t you understand? |
28780 | Do n''t you?" |
28780 | Do you hear me? |
28780 | Do you imagine my men were not in his camp? |
28780 | Do you know that his corrupt influence has extended into every nation of Asia? |
28780 | Do you know what happens to white women when they are stranded, penniless, friendless, in this country?" |
28780 | Do you know where Bobbie MacLaurin is?" |
28780 | Do you mean what I said about Liauchow?" |
28780 | Do 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?" |
28780 | Do you remember those evenings, Peter, under the moon and the Southern Cross?" |
28780 | Do you still love her?" |
28780 | Do you understand that, Peter Moore?" |
28780 | Do you understand? |
28780 | Do-- do you think I would make you unhappy?" |
28780 | Does it hum-- or what?" |
28780 | Does n''t it-- appeal to you-- just a little-- to be all alone with me for nearly a hundred miles?" |
28780 | Does not that appeal to you?" |
28780 | Does that sound like heroics? |
28780 | Eh, Peter?" |
28780 | Eh?" |
28780 | Emiguel Borria, ardent tool of the Gray Dragon? |
28780 | Emiguel Borria, husband of the girl Romola? |
28780 | Ever hear of one?" |
28780 | Ever?" |
28780 | Expect me to believe that, too, eh?" |
28780 | Get that-- you yellow weasel?" |
28780 | Going to make a break for it, too?" |
28780 | Had Captain Jones consented to and perhaps aided in this mid- river tryst? |
28780 | Had he been observing perhaps the word but not the letter of his self- assumed oath? |
28780 | Had his red- faced pursuer caught up in time? |
28780 | Had it been possible for the Mongolian to signal his master in Len Yang and receive an answer while the_ Hankow_ lay at Ichang? |
28780 | Had she been staring, not at him, but beyond him, over the miles to a detestable scene, a view of horror? |
28780 | Had that noble soul been snatched down by the River of Golden Sands? |
28780 | Had this stuttering static anything in kind with those other formless events? |
28780 | Have I said that this was St. Valentine''s Day? |
28780 | Have I seen him to ask questions?" |
28780 | Have I talked to you in vain? |
28780 | Have one of my ropes?" |
28780 | Have you heard a broken down auxiliary asking for help? |
28780 | Have you listened in?" |
28780 | Have you such a knife?" |
28780 | Have you them?" |
28780 | Have you told him help is coming?" |
28780 | He owns other mines?" |
28780 | How could Peter say no? |
28780 | How could he, alone, armed only with an automatic revolver, hope to overpower professional riflemen who numbered at the least forty? |
28780 | How did I get in? |
28780 | How does that appeal to you?" |
28780 | How had the Gray Dragon brought pressure upon the American ambassador, a man of the highest repute, of sterling and patriotic qualities? |
28780 | How long have I waited for such an opportunity? |
28780 | How long? |
28780 | How long? |
28780 | How will you explain?" |
28780 | How would the spirit of that mob react to the announcement? |
28780 | How''s the air? |
28780 | Huh?" |
28780 | I beg pardon?" |
28780 | I have come back to China, not to start trouble, but simply because-- well, why are you in China?" |
28780 | I thought-- but what does it matter what I thought?" |
28780 | I trust----""Why?" |
28780 | I-- I''d like----""Then why do n''t you?" |
28780 | I-- I----""What have you done to these people? |
28780 | I? |
28780 | I_ am_ sure''""There''s little more to say, then, is there?" |
28780 | If he desired to run away from this very actual danger in which direction could he run? |
28780 | If it is written that I am to die, why give Death cause to be angry? |
28780 | If not, what terrified creature was invoking his aid in this blundering fashion? |
28780 | Is any one proof against it but me? |
28780 | Is any one? |
28780 | Is it twenty years-- or forty-- or a thousand-- since that night in the bazaar at Mangalore?" |
28780 | Is n''t my gun loaded with bullets? |
28780 | Is n''t that the truth?" |
28780 | Is that not true?" |
28780 | Is that why you''ve come back?" |
28780 | Is this-- is this all?" |
28780 | It gave you confidence in yourself, did it not?" |
28780 | It is a terrible habit, is n''t it?" |
28780 | It 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?" |
28780 | Ja?" |
28780 | Ja?" |
28780 | Kidnapped? |
28780 | Love? |
28780 | Mandarin?" |
28780 | May I say-- I am very grateful?" |
28780 | Miss Vost-- do I pronounce it correctly? |
28780 | Moore?" |
28780 | Moore?" |
28780 | Moore?" |
28780 | Moore?" |
28780 | My duty? |
28780 | My other question is this: Why does that beast search the world for beautiful women-- and consign them to the mines?" |
28780 | Naradia, how many?" |
28780 | Now savvy?" |
28780 | Now-- ready?" |
28780 | Now----""Did you lick him?" |
28780 | Of course, the first thing I want to make sure of is, am I stepping on anybody''s toes? |
28780 | Oh, I''m so glad----""You knew? |
28780 | Oh, wo n''t you understand? |
28780 | On the other hand, might n''t it be possible that Eileen Lorimer had ceased to care for him? |
28780 | Once or twice he''s tried to make love, and you could see, could n''t you, how furious he was when we left him?" |
28780 | Or just temporarily off your nut? |
28780 | Or was he hungry for that glimpse? |
28780 | Or, are you leavin''the radio unwatched?" |
28780 | Or-- is it India-- or Afghanistan?" |
28780 | Or-- less? |
28780 | Perhaps you are the best operator on the whole Pacific Ocean; you''ve had that reputation now-- how long-- five years? |
28780 | Perhaps-- perhaps a girl who is not so silly as I have been? |
28780 | Peter-- can you understand? |
28780 | Proud? |
28780 | Remember? |
28780 | Savvy? |
28780 | Savvy?" |
28780 | Savvy?" |
28780 | Savvy?" |
28780 | Savvy?" |
28780 | Savvy?" |
28780 | Savvy?" |
28780 | Savvy?" |
28780 | Say-- say, Moore, when does the fight start? |
28780 | See? |
28780 | Shall I tell you how many men she has put out of the way at my bidding before and after she met you? |
28780 | Shall we consider ourselves properly introduced?" |
28780 | Shall we turn in now?" |
28780 | She was beckoning? |
28780 | Should he heed it? |
28780 | Spanish_ señorita_?" |
28780 | Stabbed? |
28780 | Still want to go to Japan with me, my dear?" |
28780 | Surely you were not planning to enter Len Yang again alone?" |
28780 | Tell him, or shall I?" |
28780 | Tell me first, what was your power over Romola Borria?" |
28780 | That you, Johnny Driggs?" |
28780 | The Gray Dragon of Len Yang? |
28780 | The man with a legion of a thousand loyal men at his back?" |
28780 | The moon is so impersonal, is n''t it? |
28780 | The_ King of Asia_? |
28780 | The_ Persian Gulf_? |
28780 | Then what of the little golden- haired girl-- the two little golden- haired girls-- you left this afternoon on the bund?" |
28780 | Then, too, there are some papers of mine----""Romola, will this give you the contentment you desire?" |
28780 | Then:"Why did you leave the_ Vandalia_ at Shanghai?" |
28780 | This one shot back the following greeting:"Who are you? |
28780 | To Peter he said:"You recognize your companion of last night? |
28780 | Twice-- means''no?''" |
28780 | Two years, is n''t it, since we were chased out of Panama City by the_ spigotties_?" |
28780 | Understand?" |
28780 | Was he playing quite squarely with Eileen Lorimer? |
28780 | Was he willing to assume the tremendous responsibility? |
28780 | Was n''t it to- day that I was to become immortal, with a knife through my floating ribs, or a bullet in my heart? |
28780 | Was she flirting with him? |
28780 | Was this girl flirting with him, or was hers a deeper interest? |
28780 | Was this killing a part of an elaborate plan? |
28780 | Weeks? |
28780 | Well, what do_ you_ want? |
28780 | Were these the sounds which had unnerved Dale? |
28780 | What Chinamen?" |
28780 | What agony are you talking about? |
28780 | What are they for? |
28780 | What are you doing up at this time of night playing with a baby coil?" |
28780 | What band?" |
28780 | What becomes of them?" |
28780 | What brings you here? |
28780 | What can I do?" |
28780 | What can be so deliciously harmless as a kiss? |
28780 | What did that one have in store for him now? |
28780 | What difference does time make? |
28780 | What difference what she said? |
28780 | What do you say? |
28780 | What do you suppose has become of that other one whom you met at the_ weng_ into the hills? |
28780 | What do you want?" |
28780 | What does become of the stolen lives?" |
28780 | What follows? |
28780 | What for? |
28780 | What had become of Bobbie MacLaurin? |
28780 | What had become of that dashing British lieutenant, Milton Raynard? |
28780 | What had he made up his mind to do? |
28780 | What happened to that scoundrel, Kahn Meng? |
28780 | What have you ever done? |
28780 | What have you to say?" |
28780 | What is Len Yang?" |
28780 | What is it? |
28780 | What is the news from home?" |
28780 | What is the news from outside? |
28780 | What is this place?" |
28780 | What more can any man say?" |
28780 | What should a young lover have done? |
28780 | What was the fellow doing? |
28780 | What was this girl doing in Shanghai? |
28780 | What will become of you as the years pass? |
28780 | What would you have done, Peter Moore-- you who know so well the heart of woman? |
28780 | What''s happened to him?" |
28780 | What''s on your mind? |
28780 | What''s the meaning?" |
28780 | What''s your game, eh? |
28780 | When does the_ Vandalia_ clear for China?" |
28780 | When would he again penetrate the stronghold of that unhappy red city? |
28780 | When would he do this? |
28780 | When would he meet the Gray Dragon face to face? |
28780 | Where are the girls?" |
28780 | Where are we? |
28780 | Where are you drifting? |
28780 | Where are you?" |
28780 | Where could he seek refuge? |
28780 | Where have I seen that face before? |
28780 | Where have they taken her?" |
28780 | Where is Bobbie?" |
28780 | Where is Jen?" |
28780 | Where is she? |
28780 | Where was Kahn Meng? |
28780 | Where were the Whipple girls and Anthony? |
28780 | Where were the girls, Anthony, the young lieutenant from the_ Madrusa_? |
28780 | Where were the servants, the caravan boys, the muleteers, the traders and merchants? |
28780 | Where''s everybody?" |
28780 | Where''s she from? |
28780 | Where''s she going? |
28780 | Where, then, were Jen and his Chinese? |
28780 | Which one? |
28780 | Who can see into any man''s heart?" |
28780 | Who could say? |
28780 | Who in thunder said anything about prolonging the agony? |
28780 | Who is outside?" |
28780 | Who is she? |
28780 | Who will not dare? |
28780 | Who''s the girl?" |
28780 | Who''s with her? |
28780 | Whose toes do you think you''re stepping on?" |
28780 | Why are you so far from Ching- Fu? |
28780 | Why did they bring you here? |
28780 | Why did you do that? |
28780 | Why did you t''row him over der side, eh?" |
28780 | Why do you stare at me so? |
28780 | Why does your little mind single out such simple punishment-- you-- lovers? |
28780 | Why enter the lion''s den? |
28780 | Why had no shots been fired at them as they climbed the silver road? |
28780 | Why had she come into his room? |
28780 | Why had she not gone aboard the_ Manchuria_, as she had promised? |
28780 | Why had the girl ignored him? |
28780 | Why had two notes been thrown? |
28780 | Why have n''t Jen and his gang broken in here? |
28780 | Why is he waiting? |
28780 | Why prolong the agony? |
28780 | Why should he care?" |
28780 | Why should you pick me for such a thing when you never saw me? |
28780 | Why the devil''ve you been dodging me all over South China to- day? |
28780 | Why, Peter-- why did n''t you wait? |
28780 | Why, what is there left in yours? |
28780 | Why-- why do you hesitate?" |
28780 | Why-- why is it?" |
28780 | Why?" |
28780 | Will I break into the house and help you rob?" |
28780 | Will you accompany us, Peter Moore-- Naradia and I and our followers? |
28780 | Will you do that?" |
28780 | Will you find out, if you can, if he is going to be sober enough to make the trip-- and let me know?" |
28780 | Will you handle an M- S- G for me?" |
28780 | Will you retire? |
28780 | Will you try to find him for me? |
28780 | Will you-- help me?" |
28780 | Will you? |
28780 | With the crew? |
28780 | Wo n''t that suffice until the morning? |
28780 | Wo n''t you do-- that-- for me?" |
28780 | Wo n''t you get your feet wet? |
28780 | Wo n''t you please tell me just what you do know about my activities in this neighborhood?" |
28780 | Wo n''t you say-- yes?" |
28780 | Wo n''t you stop and consider? |
28780 | Wo n''t you? |
28780 | Would he shoot through the pane? |
28780 | Would the jovial little captain be quite so jovial viewing these incriminating circumstances? |
28780 | Would the lights be Hi- Tai- Sha-- Tsung- min?--port or starboard? |
28780 | Would the one be waiting? |
28780 | Would the sampan be waiting? |
28780 | Would you do that?" |
28780 | Would you like to gaze upon that which can never be yours?" |
28780 | Years?" |
28780 | Yet the devils of darkness-- where were they? |
28780 | You are feeling stronger?" |
28780 | You are one of the ship''s officers, are you not?" |
28780 | You did n''t know that?" |
28780 | You do not mind if I call you_ birahi_ in our last moment together?" |
28780 | You have never gone up the river with us to load at Soo- chow?" |
28780 | You have not by any chance, in another of those careless moods of yours, happened to tamper with the bullets, have you?" |
28780 | You heard my call?" |
28780 | You knew that?" |
28780 | You know the name-- the City of Stolen Lives? |
28780 | You savvy, Chink- a- link?" |
28780 | You thought I was just an innocent, helpless little thing, now did n''t you? |
28780 | You were stunned, perhaps?" |
28780 | You will excuse me, wo n''t you, until to- night?" |
28780 | You will promise me that?" |
28780 | You will wear it, great one, around thy middle?" |
28780 | You will-- or wo n''t you?" |
28780 | You''ll be there, without fail?" |
28780 | You''ll go, wo n''t you?" |
28780 | You''re both all right?" |
28780 | You''re not hurt, are you? |
28780 | You''re----""Well?" |
28780 | _ Nidzen yang gïang_?" |
28780 | _ P''êng- yu_ Moore, we wo n''t bother the servants; wo n''t you help me?" |
28780 | observed Blanchard in the crisp, brittle accents of senility;"so you''re back again, eh? |
34494 | A big bamboo? |
34494 | A pocket- handkerchief Union- jack? |
34494 | AM I GOING MAD? |
34494 | Afraid? 34494 After what has been said, then,"said Stan sadly,"it will not be safe to pull down these chests?" |
34494 | All ready? |
34494 | All? 34494 Am I to be turned into a Guy Fawkes?" |
34494 | And because you want to send me where I shall be safe? |
34494 | And do you think I could be so bloodthirsty? |
34494 | And fight? |
34494 | And for want of decent help and companionship, I''m to make the best of you? |
34494 | And is it all beautiful? |
34494 | And pray why? |
34494 | And so you ran away-- eh? |
34494 | And so you set sail and got out of the way? |
34494 | And stop at hotels of a night? |
34494 | And then, I suppose, after being kicked for getting tipsy on_ samshu_, the men never drink any more? |
34494 | And we''ll forgive him-- eh? |
34494 | And what about barricading the two doors? |
34494 | And what about fire? |
34494 | And what is that? |
34494 | And what would you say? |
34494 | And what''s that, uncle? |
34494 | And what''s the good of your knowing when you wo n''t be able to tell us? |
34494 | And who were the people? |
34494 | And you have tried to bind it up? |
34494 | And you too, Uncle Jeff? |
34494 | And you want me to go for the police? |
34494 | And you will write to me, father? |
34494 | And 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? |
34494 | Are n''t you hungry? |
34494 | Are the enemy upon us, then? |
34494 | Are we fit to meet such an onslaught as they will make? |
34494 | Are we likely to see any pirates up the river here? |
34494 | Are we saved? |
34494 | Are you all coming too, uncle? |
34494 | Are you going to shoot him? |
34494 | Are you sure? |
34494 | Are you wide awake enough now, my lad? 34494 Awfully, sir,"said the man; and then meaningly,"Did n''t you see the crows?" |
34494 | Bad news? |
34494 | Bandage? 34494 Beginning to think it will be too much of a good thing?" |
34494 | Blackened a bit? 34494 Bury you? |
34494 | But I say, if they come, how will they attack? |
34494 | But a great many did come in? |
34494 | But are we going to sail right on up the river like this? |
34494 | But ca n''t I go and fetch help, father-- uncle? |
34494 | But do n''t you understand? 34494 But do n''t you want your dinner?" |
34494 | But 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?" |
34494 | But have you bandaged the place well? |
34494 | But how far away are these people, Wing? |
34494 | But is n''t this the last, sir? |
34494 | But look; what''s that smoke? |
34494 | But suppose a burning pot did happen to fall into an open chest of cartridges,said Stan,"what would happen?" |
34494 | But they had seen the_ hong_? |
34494 | But us-- your nephew-- escape? |
34494 | But we shall find the land journey no worse-- there will be no discharged soldiers wandering about ready to interfere with us? |
34494 | But what about sending down to Nang Ti for a native doctor? |
34494 | But what about us, uncle? |
34494 | But what about your silk? |
34494 | But what are they doing now? 34494 But what for?" |
34494 | But what will become of the boat? |
34494 | But where is Wing? |
34494 | But where is he? |
34494 | But why did n''t they use the stink- pots before? |
34494 | But why should they take all that trouble for nothing? |
34494 | But you are sure that he is dead? |
34494 | But you do n''t think so now? |
34494 | But 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? |
34494 | But you wo n''t give in? |
34494 | But you''ll be well prepared in case they do come again? |
34494 | But you''ll send a report to my father and uncle, so that they can lay the matter before the Consul? |
34494 | But you''ve brought them now? |
34494 | CAN YOU USE A SWORD? |
34494 | Ca n''t we have a big bamboo up here, sir? |
34494 | Ca n''t you see that I''m in a hurry? |
34494 | Can he speak English? |
34494 | Can you find your way, Stan? |
34494 | Can you see anything with the glass? |
34494 | Can you use a sword, Stan? |
34494 | Cellar? 34494 Certainly; but where?" |
34494 | Come back like the crows? |
34494 | Come? |
34494 | Coming to bed? |
34494 | Could be done? 34494 Could it be done?" |
34494 | Could n''t you send it to market under another name? |
34494 | Could they be pirates? |
34494 | Dead? |
34494 | Dead? |
34494 | Did he eat it? |
34494 | Did he say anything about leaving us in the lurch last night? |
34494 | Did n''t think it was so late? |
34494 | Did that hurt much? |
34494 | Did you visit all the six posts? |
34494 | Dlive allee''way? 34494 Do I understand you to mean that you will stop with us and fight it out?" |
34494 | Do I, my boy? 34494 Do I?" |
34494 | Do n''t you think you had better come in and have something to eat, uncle? |
34494 | Do you hear there, squire? |
34494 | Do you hear there? |
34494 | Do you know who did it? |
34494 | Do you mean it, in spite of all I have said? |
34494 | Do you mean to come down here again? |
34494 | Do you mean you think the pirates will come back and attack? |
34494 | Do you think he is right? |
34494 | Do you want to bastinado your comrade? |
34494 | Do you want to be hacked to pieces? |
34494 | Do you want to turn a brave resistance into a panic? |
34494 | Does he? |
34494 | Does n''t the captain know we are to stop there? |
34494 | Does that hurt very much? |
34494 | Does that mean shake hands? 34494 Does that mean the spine is injured?" |
34494 | Draw in as long a breath as you can.--Well, do you hear me? |
34494 | Dripping wet? |
34494 | Eh? 34494 Eh? |
34494 | Eh? 34494 Eh? |
34494 | Eh? 34494 Eh?" |
34494 | Eh? |
34494 | Eh? |
34494 | Eh? |
34494 | Eh? |
34494 | Eh? |
34494 | Eh? |
34494 | Explained? 34494 Feel done up, sir?" |
34494 | Find any one asleep? |
34494 | Finished? |
34494 | Fire? |
34494 | For me? |
34494 | For nothing? 34494 Fretting? |
34494 | Fun, Stan, my lad? 34494 Get betteh? |
34494 | Given him no cause of offence? 34494 Go fi''?" |
34494 | Going to fire again to startle me? |
34494 | Gone-- eh? |
34494 | Good; but when it is connected what does it do? |
34494 | Got any appetite after your fighting? |
34494 | Got him? |
34494 | Had n''t we better give them a cheer and a few parting shots? |
34494 | Had n''t we better try and shoot more of them, sir? |
34494 | Had n''t you better have a fever too? |
34494 | Had n''t you better write and tell them so? |
34494 | Have you a set of chess- men? |
34494 | Have you ever been attacked? |
34494 | Have you taken breakfast to Mr Wing? |
34494 | He''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? |
34494 | Hear him, Stan? |
34494 | Help? 34494 Here, I say, I have n''t been asleep?" |
34494 | Here, I say, had n''t you better leave off talking? |
34494 | Here, Jeff,said his brother hoarsely;"do you smell that?" |
34494 | Hi? 34494 Hi? |
34494 | Hit any of the rabbits? |
34494 | How are you getting on here? |
34494 | How can I send you where I hold back from going myself? |
34494 | How can that be so much the better? |
34494 | How can we? 34494 How can you tell without a proper examination?" |
34494 | How 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?" |
34494 | How did you know when the hours were up? |
34494 | How is that? |
34494 | How many junks can you see, and how many pirates in each? |
34494 | How? |
34494 | Hungry-- eh? 34494 Hungry-- eh?" |
34494 | Hungry? |
34494 | Hurt? |
34494 | Hurt? |
34494 | I could: why not? |
34494 | I 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?" |
34494 | I second that,said Blunt.--"Now, Lynn, what do you say?" |
34494 | I see,said Stan;"but it''s very horrible, is n''t it?" |
34494 | I see,said Uncle Jeff;"but what next?" |
34494 | I suppose you have one? |
34494 | I''m a foreign devil, am I? 34494 I? |
34494 | I? 34494 If it did n''t go down splash into the river-- eh?" |
34494 | If we defend the place and are not able to beat them off, I suppose they will burn the_ hong_ and us in it? |
34494 | In the dark? |
34494 | Is anything the matter, Mr Blunt? |
34494 | Is he a two- faced fellow,thought Stan,"and doing all this to put me off my guard? |
34494 | Is he better? |
34494 | Is it good, old chap? |
34494 | Is it very bad? |
34494 | Is it? |
34494 | Is the trap- door locked? |
34494 | Is there any likelihood of our going to war? |
34494 | Is this perfectly true, Mr Blunt? |
34494 | It has come to that, has it? 34494 Lay stlaight?" |
34494 | Leady to buly poo''Wing? |
34494 | Learn? 34494 Let me see,"he mused;"they will challenge me by saying,` Who goes there?'' |
34494 | Like big- game shooting? |
34494 | Like what? |
34494 | Loaded? |
34494 | Lun away? 34494 Mad?" |
34494 | Mao ashamed? 34494 Matter? |
34494 | Miles away, then? |
34494 | Misteh Blunt lendee Wing two- eye pull- out glass? |
34494 | Misteh Blunt no knockee Wing head on tea- box, makee sore? |

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