20496Where is the evil- doer who has stained the honour of my house, where is he, that I may crush his life out?
20496Who had saved her from certain destruction? 20496 Who is likely to prevent it?"
20496You are quite convinced of the truth of your statement, are n''t you?
20496Charlemagne stood up and spake:--"What does a royal princess deserve, who receives the visit of a man at night?"
20496He bade his squire ask the boatman who was putting out his little bark to cross the river, what was the name of the castle?
20496She wanted to pass by without saying a word, but the stranger stopped her and said:"How far is it from here to Aix- la- Chapelle?"
20496Was he a master of the black art or was he the devil himself?
20496Was it his protecting- angel who had placed it there as a warning to the deluded young man?
20496Was it the bride of the winds or a human cry?
20496What was to be done?
20496Who can tell?
20496Who is the holy man?
20496Who is the knight?
20496Who was the God who so visibly aided His own?"
20496Why should not this same Bernkastler cure, thought he, have the same effect on the worthy prelate?
20496he asked in a hoarse voice,"dead?"
20496is it you Sir Knight?"
20496what does it there?"
20496whispered he, startled,"do you see her-- the enchantress?"
16587Are you the villain who would sell the army to the enemy and tear the crown from the emperor''s head?
16587Can you bring us out of this peril?
16587How can I betray my only true friend?
16587My gracious and mighty sovereign, here we are,said the bold leader;"we await your commands; against what enemy are we to fight?"
16587Oh, will you?
16587To whom does this house belong?
16587Valiant sirs,he said to Rollo and his chiefs,"who are you that come hither, and why have you come?"
16587Who are these with long beards?
16587Who is he?
16587Why did you try to run away?
16587Will you submit to King Charles?
16587Would you like to see it closer?
16587And you, by what name are you called?"
16587But why have you stuck another arrow in your collar?"
16587Could succor be at hand?
16587Guntz must be his and its insolent garrison punished, or how could Solyman the Magnificent ever hold up his head among monarchs and conquerors again?
16587If Guntz, with less than a thousand men, could defy him for a month, what might not Vienna do with more than a hundred thousand?
16587If men were to have liberty of thought, why should they not have liberty of action?
16587Monsieur Voltaire,"said the king,"so you really intend to go away?"
16587Such was its character, what were its ravages?
16587The governor sent for these, and asked him,--"Which of your children do you love the best?"
16587This must be Rome, he told himself; behind those lofty walls lay the wealth which he so earnestly craved; but how could it be obtained?
16587Was it safe to advance?
16587Was it the absolutism of the emperor or of himself that he sought?
16587What do you think he did?
16587What had preceded this event?
16587What would be the consequence if he were to see you in this dress?"
16587What, pray, are those jewels of the Brandenburg crown that you require?''
16587Who should command them?
16587Who would believe it?
16587Whom can I trust?
16587Would he obey?
16587fear me, do you?"
16587he cried, as he dealt the blow,"how darest thou condemn such a great and excellent knight?"
16587he shouted;"dare you appear in my presence?
16587shall Leopold be a mere looker- on, and calmly behold his knights die around him in his own cause?
48578And we did not see him?
48578Are they speaking the truth?
48578Do you believe in the immortality of the soul?
48578Do you know these women?
48578Do you think I would touch my King''s property? 48578 Do you think his Majesty will decide to go to the capital?"
48578Has it come to this?
48578Have I no right to take the snowball? 48578 Have you no watch?"
48578How could I have a watch?
48578How many gendarmes are there in the park to guard me?
48578Shall I go to the window once again?
48578What do you think of me, good sir?
48578What do you want with me?
48578What does this mean?
48578What is it, then?
48578Why do they conclude agreements with Würtemberg, Baden, and Hesse and not till later with my Government?
48578Why do you not let some one read aloud to you?
48578Why does he not ask the King for help?
48578Why should I flee?
48578Will the people do nothing then to liberate their King?
48578Would they in case of emergency shoot at me?
48578At last he said:"Oh, you are tired, are you?
48578But how, on the other hand, can I leave this poor young King, in his abominable surroundings, and with his heart so wonderfully fastened on me?"
48578Furthermore, I am to ask you to consider whether the swan''s head is not too large, and if its breast, which is resting on the water, is not too weak?
48578How could the poor, homeless Didier possess such a costly ornament?
48578It continued in a threatening tone:"Is the country again to be subjected to the storms of an election on account of a single Hohenlohe?
48578It is with a good conscience that I dare say that I am worthy of it.... Who has the right to part us?...
48578Laughing, he called up to her;"I avoided that visit nicely, did n''t I?"
48578Repeatedly he said:"Is there then no means, no possibility of avoiding war?"
48578To Richard Wagner, he said at one of their first meetings:"You do not like women either, do you?

48578When Ludwig had taken his seat in his equipage he said to the doctor;"You do not object, of course, to my taking leave of my servant?"

2668How could he do otherwise than imprison a subject who thus endeavoured to injure him and aid his foes?

2668I asked him,"Where is the Neiss?"
2668I was too proud to discover myself; and, indeed, to whom could I discover myself in a strange land?
2668In the meantime I entered; Hyndford then addressed me, with the openness of an Englishman, and asked,"Are you a traitor, Trenck?

2669How, indeed, could it be, that lee should work underground, at such a distance from his dungeon?"

2669In what do these differ from the arbitrary order of a military despot?
2669My answer was,"Who calls?"
2669My answer was--"But will you not load me with heavier irons than before?"

2669What have I gained?

2108''Was it not your intention to go to England?'' 2108 ''You have learned nothing of what is to become of me?''
2108The first sane step was to throw myself at the feet of the King: King said,''Are you content with me? 2108 What is wrong, Herr General?"
2108What to make of all this?
2108Whereupon the King asked him:''Was it thou that temptedst Katte; or did Katte tempt thee?'' 2108 Years''imprisonment?
2108''O Heaven, my Brother?''

2108--Why then, O Princess?
2108And MAY my ursine heart flow out again, and blubber gratefully over a sinner saved, a poor Son plucked as brand from the burning?

2108Are we become as Hebrew Elijahs, then; so that the wild ravens have to bring us food?
2108As my Father brought him proofs from Scripture, the Prince asked him one time, How he could keep chapter and verse so exactly in his memory?
2108But what the Prince, in his own heart, thought of it all; how he looked, talked, lived, in unofficial times?
2108Crown- Prince said:''I should like to know what that good old gentleman does with a Mistress?''
2108Crown- Prince, when I did, in some interval of the dance, report this of Grumkow, and say, Why so changed and cold, then, Brother of my heart?

2108Do you keep two weights and two measures, in that Criminal- Collegium of yours, then?
2108Does He( ER) know what stealing means, then?

33819Meanwhile every morning we received orders to load quickly; this gave rise among the old soldiers to the following talk:''What shall we have to- day? 33819 ''For God''s sake, Herr Zittermann,''I continued,''what does this mean?'' 33819 ''How? 33819 ''What are the people above there doing?'' 33819 ''What? 33819 ''Why not?'' 33819 Besides their Prince and the army itself, what had they in Prussia to honour? 33819 But how was this possible? 33819 But she left Zittau soon, and never did a word escape my lips-- and how could it? 33819 But were they too old? 33819 Dear scenes of home, what have become of you in most families? 33819 Did he now eat little children? 33819 Do you know of anything greater?
33819For what are your wars to me?
33819From whence did these tendencies arise in him?
33819He made shift as he best could, what did it signify now?
33819How do you know this?"
33819How in the world, I thought, could my poor Socrates help not having been born later, not having lived in Judea?

33819In what lay the magic of these slight traits of life?
33819Is this old age, is it reflection, is it reason?
33819My brother was a very rare exception of quiet earnestness; and yet who knows how often even he may have been equally distracted?
33819Now it does not signify to you; for have you not something to sell?
33819Now there was much wondering and inquiring, who I was?
33819Of what avail against this was violence, the opening of letters and secret investigations?
33819This took place as follows:--The president inquired of those assembled,''Who will act the part of Hans Waldmann?''
33819Was it Brandenburg blood?
33819Was it an impulse to unrestrained roving?
33819What remained now, what was left of any value to them?
33819What use was confiscation?
33819What would happen if the people were roused to political excitement?
33819When those present protested against this, the King asked angrily how otherwise he could obtain satisfaction for his injured honour?
33819Where was there anything great or strong?
33819Why should he have hung himself in misfortune?
33819Why was it so?
33819Would you not rather be a servant to our King, than to his lieutenant?''

33819answered I,''from whom?
33819for me?''
33819had shown no harshness to the Countess of Lichtenau; that he was a very good husband[38] and father, an upright man who had the best intentions?
33819or a longing for dissipation?
33819or youthful presumption which fancied it needed no guide?
33819thought I, what is all this?
33819what for?''
33819what''s the use of asking questions?
33819what?
33819where any fresh life to give enthusiasm and warmth?

22511Why, what day is it?
22511Why,said Mr. George,"are you tired of staying here?"
22511Would not timber grow in Belgium and Holland?
22511You can row-- can''t you?
22511You sent a man with me?
22511You will take a boatman?
22511But will it do just as well for me to go down to the terrace, and do it there?"
22511Did you have a pleasant voyage?"
22511Do n''t you think you deceived me a little?"
22511Do the mountains end at Bingen?"
22511In going down she would be aided how much?"
22511Is it Rolandseck or Koenigswinter?"
22511My plan did not interfere with yours at all-- did it?"
22511Now, do you think that the people who will come here to see it will get pleasure enough from it to amount in all to a thousand dollars a day?"
22511Now, what did I do or say to give you any false impression?"
22511Now, what is the interest of eight millions of dollars, say at three per cent.?"

2117I am told, they are but weak in those posts; surely, by double impetus, and dead- lift effort from us both, they CAN be forced?
2117Indignant Broglio reappeared, next day, on foot; Lieutenant- General Prince Friedrich Eugen of Wurtemberg the chief man in charge:''Do you dare?''
2117Is it so wonderful that she does, by degrees, rise into eminent suspicion, anger, fear, violence and vehemence against her bad neighbor?
2117Island of Tobago( a deserted, litigated, but pretty Island, were it ever ours), will not that entice this King, intent on Commerce?"
2117Kings and Queens,--yes, and if that were all: but their poor Countries too?
2117Little, or even nothing, of fighting there is: why should there be?
2117Next day Broglio appeared in his state- carriage, formally demanding entrance, free thoroughfare:''Do you dare refuse me?''
2117Not a measure for imitation, as we said!--How Friedrich defended such hard conduct to the Saxons?
2117Not ruined at all; but foiled, frustrated; and has to devise earnestly,"What next?"
2117Of the question, What is to be done with those Saxons?
2117Perhaps the English will pacify the Russian CATIN for me; tie her, with packthreads, bribes and intrigues, from stirring?
2117Poland is to be stirred up;--has not your Czarish Majesty heard of his intrigues there?
2117Poor Hanover indeed; she reaps little profit from her English honors: what has she had to do with these Transatlantic Colonies of England?
2117Rutowski had not known it, then?
2117Rutowski had said to himself, perhaps not quite with the due rigor of candor proportionate to the rigorous fact:"How get across the Elbe?
2117So that now the loud uproar is reduced to one small question with us, What did he read in those Menzel Documents?
2117Starvation, or the Austrians, which will be first here?
2117The French, in reality a good deal astonished at the Prussian- Britannic Treaty, affected to take it easy:"Treaty for Neutrality of Germany?"
2117The Most Christian Majesty''s Ambassador, and treated in this way?
2117The Pompadour, for instance: who was it that answered,"JE NE LA CONNAIS PAS; I do n''t know her!"?
2117The ill- informed world rang violently, then and long after, with a Controversy,"Was it of his beginning, or Not of his beginning?"
2117The question now is: Will he go back to Budin; or will he try farther towards Schandau?
2117The very Pamphlets printed on it,--cannot Dryasdust give me the number of tons weight, then?
2117These are the two chief Towns, which do all the trade of this region; picturesque places both:--the Tourist remembers Pirna?

2117Who would now trust us?''"
2117Will not?"
2117Yes, a diabolical pair, they, sure enough:--and the thing they betrayed against their Masters, was that a celestial thing?
2117Yes, of course; nay I am this moment going to the Empress: only you must tell me about what?"

33795But who would venture to describe all the cunning practices whereby these strollers contrive to make and collect money? 33795 It is asked what will be the issue?
33795So the King''s judge spoke to the town clerk saying:''Are the women without?'' 33795 The first words of the major were:''Children, what are you doing here?''
33795When we came to the afore- mentioned village, we formed ourselves in column, fixed our bayonets, and thought what will now take place? 33795 ''Indeed,''he continued;''but if the Meiningens come?'' 33795 ''Spectacles for the Evangelical Apple of the Eye;''''A sharp round Eye on the Romish Pope;''''Who has struck the Calf in the Eye? 33795 ''Why then were the gates closed and barricaded, and we not allowed to pass through?'' 33795 ''_ Oh, mon Dieu!_''exclaimed he,''we must return thither, even were we to sit down before the gates; where are your majors?'' 33795 After a friendly greeting the father asked him in which faith he had at last resolved to die? 33795 And shall it fare better with you who have exercised more than Turkish cruelty in many evangelical places? 33795 And who knows wherefore this has begun? 33795 Are these your secret projects which are brought to light to- day? 33795 Are they the masters of my honoured mother- in- law? 33795 As, however, it is already very late, I wish my treasure to inform me whether it please her to be reconciled with me here?'' 33795 At last Levi called to the priest by his side and asked him in a clear voice what he would promise if he should consent to be baptized? 33795 Ay, ay, what have you done?'' 33795 But his Princely Highness continued:''Who may this faithless person be? 33795 But who has exalted himself above them with kingly magnificence, a great retinue and boundless expense, is it not your chief( Oxenstiern)? 33795 Do you think that this has not been complained of at every court? 33795 Does he think that anything else can be obtained by prayers, entreaties, or the like means? 33795 Have you had too little bloodshed? 33795 He asked further:''Did you all march?'' 33795 He then said, would I wish to send my wife away? 33795 Hereupon he asked once more whether they would amicably open the gate? 33795 Hereupon our lord and husband answered:''Why is so much proof required? 33795 Hereupon, Major von Benkendorf asked whether they were the councillors? 33795 How ancient was Loyola? 33795 How can we expect better than to fall into their hands? 33795 How has this money been spent? 33795 How will it fare with thee after my death? 33795 I answered, No; whereupon he inquired of me, whether I knew that the Meiningens meant to attack us that night? 33795 I asked the citizen where our soldiers were? 33795 I thought:''What the devil is the matter?'' 33795 If we have been able to bring the men into the right path, why should we not be able to deal with these little brutes?'' 33795 Is this the custom of war? 33795 Is this to be allowed? 33795 Major von S---- came straight up to me and asked me secretly, whether I had heard any news? 33795 Meanwhile, do you think that God has a flaxen beard, and will allow himself to be led by the nose? 33795 My host, himself a councillor, came and asked me what was the meaning of our not marching further? 33795 Now it was right to pay my respects to the Privy Councillor, and ask him whether he had any commands for Wasungen? 33795 Perhaps it was the grace of God? 33795 Rest assured that I am right; what think you, gentlemen? 33795 She turned herself round to the others and said:''Women, is this your will?'' 33795 The Major accosted him sharply, asking how it was that the gates were fastened, and whether a public high road did not pass through there? 33795 The Major asked him once more, whether he would yield up the ground? 33795 The Major asked whether this was not the highroad to Nuremberg? 33795 The beautiful or the frivolous? 33795 The citizens also began to inquire:''Wherefore is all this running to the commander at theBear?"''
33795The citizens quarrelled with the soldiers, and asked why they had not marched away yesterday or early to- day, and whither we had intended to go?
33795The fearful S. J. which shone in gold on the stones of the college, how long would it last?
33795The fifth then began:''That is right, cousin Hopf: do you not remember how it fared with us when the Imperial cavalry came?
33795The said Major asked him,''Who is there besides?''
33795The seventh spoke thus:''Did I not tell you, gentlemen, what would happen, by keeping these people so long outside?
33795Then Captain Brandis, who had not consented to this at their council of war, asked what this meant?
33795Then I said,''Is that the way the cards are shuffled?
33795They also had probably passed an unquiet night; wherefore?
33795They answered:''Yes, and what did we desire?''
33795They are our border neighbours too; why should we not give them a night''s lodging?''
33795This took place after the lapse of two hours, when our husband thus addressed us in our chamber:''Is my treasure still angry with me?''
33795Was it a higher morality?
33795Was it gaiety?
33795What can we say?
33795What might not the electors of Saxony and Brandenburg together with these cities, accomplish?
33795What was this new device to the seed of Abraham?
33795What were Loyola and his school to the ancient Abeles and to Levi Kurtzhandl?
33795When I challenged him, he called to me,''Do you not know me?''
33795Whereupon he replied,''Who gave you the right to upbraid me as a dishonest Prince?
33795Who asked them to wait so long here?
33795Who could have imagined such a trick?
33795Who was the man who created languages?
33795Who would have dreamt of such a trick?
33795Why did you not tell me the truth instead of sending me out of Wasungen by such deceit?
33795Would it be well, and could one make up one''s mind to confine, or drive them all away at once?
33795Would you throw the blame on the toll gatherers?
33795_ What kind of a thing is that Neutrality?

22682Does n''t he bring batches of_ World Service_ and other propaganda for you every time he comes into port?
22682Everything is America for the Americans and to fight all alien theories and interests?
22682Got any others?
22682Have you a bank account?
22682Have you a bank account?
22682Have you ever been there?
22682Have you ever visited his home at Point Loma,[15] San Diego?
22682Have you heard from him from Germany?
22682He could n''t possibly be in Japan now, could he?
22682He understands his mission?
22682How come that if you never met him both of you applied for jobs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard at about the same time?
22682How did you do it on three hundred dollars for six months?
22682How did you happen to work in the Brooklyn Navy Yard?
22682How many people work on a destroyer-- a thousand?
22682How much are you getting now at the Navy Yard?
22682How much do you save a week?
22682How much were you getting when you were working on the destroyers?
22682How often?
22682I understand your only son, Helmuth, is going to school in Langin, Germany?
22682Looks like you''re doing a rushing business, eh?
22682Maybe; but what''s his business here?
22682No banks?
22682No schools in the United States for a fifteen- year- old boy?
22682On that day,I continued,"you and the Count went directly to the Captain''s cabin where you handed over your reports--""What are you getting at?"
22682Shall we have a bottle of Bordeaux?
22682Then how does propaganda like_ World Service_ from Erfurt, Germany, get into this country?
22682Then what are you so excited about?
22682This is the brother who gave you money to travel around in Germany?
22682Were they_ ever_ left in your possession overnight?
22682What bank?
22682What do you pay for his schooling over there?
22682What would your connections be with bums? 22682 What''s Nordenholz''s business?"
22682What''s his business?
22682What''s your brother''s business?
22682When you went to Germany after working on the destroyers did anyone ever question you about them over there?
22682When you worked on the cruiser''Honolulu''you handled blueprints?
22682Where are those places?
22682Where do you keep your money for trips to Germany? 22682 Where''s Lola?"
22682Where? 22682 Where?"
22682While you had these watch duties you had pretty much the run of the ship?
22682Who?
22682Why did you apply for a transfer from Staten Island to the Brooklyn Navy Yard?
22682You also worked on turbines and other complicated and confidential structural problems on the warship?
22682You and Dieckhoff worked on the same destroyers on Staten Island and you say you never met him there?
22682You got shirts?
22682You intend to publish them?
22682You know nothing about his activities or observations of American naval and military bases? 22682 You saved all that money in cash?"
22682You saw him off on a Japanese training ship which the Japanese Government sent here from the Canal Zone, did n''t you?
22682You will teach me how to make them?
22682You work in Brooklyn, live in Sheepshead Bay and save ten dollars a week in Port Richmond with a friend? 22682 But are you sure he did n''t come from Germany-- on his latest trip-- in January of last year?
22682But what''s his business in this country?"
22682Did you have the run of the ship while everybody else was asleep when you were on watch?"
22682Did you save all that money in so short a time on wages of forty dollars a week?"
22682Did you work there?"
22682Do you know Captain George Trauernicht?"
22682Do you know the Nazi Consul in Los Angeles-- Dr. George Gyssling?"
22682Do you usually associate with Tyrolian bums who are chiseling their way around the world?"
22682Do you usually take in members without knowing anything about them?"
22682Here?
22682How did you manage to live in Germany for six months on three hundred dollars?
22682How do you do it on forty a week?"
22682In cash?"
22682In this room?"
22682Is n''t that a long distance to go to save money?"
22682That was the evening the Captain took a lady from Beverly Hills, to the first mate''s cabin-- remember?
22682They looked puzzled and I explained:"Busy, eh?"
22682Were you able to save enough for these trips on your wages?"
22682What do you know about Schneeberger?"
22682What do you know about a man named Maeder?"
22682What do you know about him?"
22682Where do you have your bank account?"
22682Why do you do that?"
22682You know, of course, that he does not like you?"
22682You know, the lady who lives on North Crescent Drive-- shall I mention her name?"
22682You understand?"
42539And could England have kept on?
42539Are you here for the cure?
42539Are you not afraid?
42539But commonly not more than ten kreutzers?
42539Did you taste the Hungarian wine?
42539Do you think it fair, then,I rejoined,"to sit here drinking?
42539How can that be?
42539How happens it,I said to a bookseller in the_ Zeil_,"that a map of Bohemia is not to be had in all Frankfort?"
42539How it happens?
42539Is it a most highly renowned country?
42539Is n''t it yood? 42539 Perhaps you come out of Saxony?"
42539Then what would you say to fifteen kreutzers?
42539Was he a robber?
42539What do you mean?
42539What you call him?
42539Where are you going?
42539Who can tell,he said,"how hard it is to go away so suddenly, to leave the little home, and all friends?
42539Will it please you to walk to the echo?
42539Will you have it through- broiled or English- broiled?
42539_ Ja-- ja-- ja!_"And how is the chief city named?
42539And then they asked,"Are all Englishmen such as he?"
42539As I emerged again into the sunshine, one of the soldiers said,"Do you know what?
42539Ask a question, and a blunt"_ Was?_"is the first word in answer; no"_ Wie meinen sie?_"as in other places.
42539Ask a question, and a blunt"_ Was?_"is the first word in answer; no"_ Wie meinen sie?_"as in other places.
42539But wait-- you will have a tsigger?"
42539But who shall be gay in an hospital, among sallow, haggard faces, sunken eyes, and ghastly features?
42539Could not an Englishman do anything?
42539Does it make any difference?"
42539Es fehlt ja man eene Kleinigkeit?
42539Fließt dort( in Russia) nicht Milch und Honig?
42539Footsteps approached, and a man''s voice asked:"Who''s there?"
42539For example:_ Philosopher._"Wie steht''s um Hellas?
42539Had I slept well?
42539Having entered the required particulars, the damsel leaning over the page the while, I asked her what use would be made of them?
42539I asked him what amount of fee he usually received?
42539If_ The Sun_ had no room, what was to be hoped for here?
42539Is Baddenskey, who sits wearily at his loom down there in joyless Spitalfields, a descendant?
42539Is it prince or princess this time?"
42539Is it very popular?"
42539Is n''t it strong?
42539Is not this the birthplace of the Elbe, the river that carries fatness to many a broad league of their fatherland, and merchandise to its marts?
42539Is there a secret chamber where some highest functionary sits with a black list before him, in which he must search for suspected names?
42539Need I record my answer?
42539No sooner did I come within earshot, than he cried, snappishly,"Why did you not give me your passport?"
42539Schnaps and Sausage-- Dresdener upon Berliners-- The Prince''s Castle at Fischbach-- A Home for the Princess Royal-- Is the Marriage Popular?
42539Schnaps and Sausage-- Dresdener upon Berliners-- The Prince''s Castle at Fischbach-- A Home for the Princess Royal-- Is the Marriage Popular?
42539Then, mounting his rostrum, he said:"Now, children, tell me-- which is the most famous country in the world?"
42539This morning?
42539Though the river was far out of sight, were there not a few ponds gleaming in the hollows?
42539Wann kommt Deutschland zur Harmonie?
42539Was it clean gone for ever?
42539Was it not very irksome to be away from home?
42539Was möchten gern die Wallachen?
42539Wat fehlt in Hessen?
42539Wat hältst du von Russels Worte?
42539What could such a company be travelling for?
42539What did it mean?
42539What did it mean?
42539What else could it be than a spell thrown over him by_ Rübezahl_?
42539What is there to be kept down that can need such an imposing force?
42539What mattered it if I returned to London a week sooner or later?
42539When my turn came, he asked,"Where are you going?"
42539Where could such music come from?
42539Where do the musicians live?
42539While good Bohemian husbands are to be had, who would marry a bad Englishman?
42539Who could refuse a fee for such strains as theirs?
42539Who could resist such hearty hospitality?
42539Why not carry home a measure of beer, and let your wife share it?"
42539Why should I be in a hurry to reach the mountains?
42539Why should a man grumble who has a house, and food, and land to cultivate?
42539Why should you be awake and shivering when honest folk are a- bed?
42539Would it not be the same if I went to the top of all the hills around Ulrichsthal?
42539Yet, is there not a charm in the tamest of mountain scenery?
42539_ Heut_, mean you?"
42539and how much money did one need to carry?
42539and,"Whether man can co- operate in the attainment of his own salvation?"
42539for what?"
42539was it not very expensive?
42539was there no danger?
45138And leave me here alone?
45138Do you speak the language?
45138He has a true knightly mind,said the Count;"is he born here in the valley?"
45138How is that?
45138Is that your father,said the Count,"who with the heavy pickaxe is tearing up the ground so manfully, as if he would crush the rocks beneath?"
45138Love?
45138That wo n''t do to- day,replied the father;"for we have a guest here-- but what does my hunter''s spear do there?
45138Thou wilt not depart, pilgrim?
45138What is the matter with thee?
45138Where art thou,he mournfully exclaimed,"thou who art banished?
45138Where does thy father dwell, boy?
45138Again, at all the bendings of the valleys, why do the trees appear so stunted in their growth, and why are so many of them stag- headed?
45138And do they not drive to church every Sunday as regularly as ourselves?
45138And that poor sick girl, who has just borrowed the glass from her withered, wrinkled, skinny, little aunt?
45138Are our horses ever seen standing before vulgar shops?
45138Can the same prescription be good for them both?
45138Can there be any in creation better fed or warmer clothed than our own?
45138Dear wife,"continued he,"does not labour well reward itself, when one can receive and refresh a wanderer?
45138Do we not take them to the Italian Opera, to balls, plays, to hear Paganini,& c.; and do n''t they often go to two or three routs of a night?
45138Does it not rather rest upon both?
45138Has it even informed them of the discovery of America?
45138Has it explained to him the principle of a common pump?
45138Has it explained to them any one of the wonderful works of creation?
45138Has it fitted him in any way to stand in that distinguished situation which by birth and fortune he is honestly entitled to hold?
45138Has it given them the power of conversing with the peasant of any one nation in Europe?
45138Has it shown the young landed proprietor how to measure the smallest field on his estate?
45138Has it taught him even the first rudiments of economy?
45138Has it taught them a single invention of art?
45138He desires, and very naturally desires, to know what the moon is?--what are the stars?--where the rain, wind, and storm come from?
45138I am aware that many of my readers, especially those of the fairer sex, will feel disposed to exclaim-- Why admire German horses?
45138I mean, that their education has been equal to themselves?
45138I might torment my reader with many other questions, such as why, in this large country, is there scarcely a bird to be seen?
45138In black and silver harness are they not ornamented nearly as highly as ourselves?
45138In deep meditation the aged Count sat and thought,"Where may, then, this night my son sleep....?"
45138In short, why do you not use the simple resource which nature has presented ready made to your hand?"
45138Is it not curious to observe that in such a state of perspiration they can drink such deadly cold water with impunity?
45138Is there any amusement in town which they do not attend?
45138It is advisable to allow them to remain out of their colleges till midnight?
45138Or what does that huge, unwieldy man in the broad- brimmed hat require from the Pauline?--Surely he is already about as full as he can hold?
45138Quietly he stole out of the castle, the steep path descending, while the porter looked after him astounded, without demanding"Whither?"
45138The poor doctor quietly shrugged up his shoulders,--silently looking at his shoes,--and what else could he have done?
45138The upper classes will of course lay the blame on the lowest-- the lowest will abuse the highest-- but may not the error lie between the two?
45138To teach young lads the simple doctrines of Christianity, is it advisable to hide from their minds creation?
45138What would prosperity be, if there was no such sorrow as adversity?
45138Which, therefore, I am seriously disposed to ask of myself, are the most likely to be right?
45138Why are the houses they live in huddled together in the valleys, instead of enjoying the magnificent prospect before me?
45138Why are the windows so small and the walls so thick?
45138Why do you not avail yourself of the_ weight_ of the water, instead of expending your capital in converting it into the power of steam?
45138With innocent simplicity he asks, what becomes of the light of a candle when it is blown out?
45138Without saying one other word, I will only again ask, is it or is it not the interest of our upper classes to countenance this island system?
45138and is that thy flitting spirit which rustles in my armour, and so feebly moves it?
45138and that respect which they meet with from every one, does it not seem to be honestly their due?
45138and what would be the smile of an approving conscience if there was not the torment of repentance writhing under guilt?
45138but though they congregate,--though like birds of a feather they flock together, is there, I ask, anything arrogant in their behaviour?
45138have you been again playing with it?
45138oh my son, wilt thou think of thy father, as he of thee thinks-- or.... art thou dead?
45138said the aged man;"but does thy father, then, often hunt upon these mountains?"
45138said the astonished vine- labourer;"has this affected thee too much?"
45138said the boy,"if the castle of the aged man is empty, I can surely, when I am big, go thither?"
45138the manners of"the right little, tight little island,"or those of the inhabitants of the vast Continent of Europe?
45138what would health be if sickness did not exist?
45138who art thou?"
33794''Dear sons,''he said,''what do they think in Switzerland about Luther?'' 33794 After we had thus spoken, he inquired:''Where have you studied hitherto?''
33794Shortly after, he asked where we were born, but answered himself:''You are Swiss; from what part of Switzerland do you come?'' 33794 ''Tell me,''said the Dean,''what it is? 33794 ''What holy thing?'' 33794 ''What is your name?'' 33794 ''What?'' 33794 ''What_ Pfaff_, do you wish to drive me away? 33794 --Then he said:''How are things going on at Basle? 33794 After this his Princely Grace said to me:''Hans, did I not tell you beforehand that I would drive away my brother? 33794 And how was it with the heart of lovers? 33794 And whither was he taking them? 33794 Are you content? 33794 But what happened? 33794 But what was their position at home? 33794 But who was there that could teach me, and how was I to effect this? 33794 Carlowitz came running to him from the Chancellery, and said,''Whither will your Electoral Grace drive?'' 33794 Do you not see how luxuriously I live, that I do nothing but eat, drink, jump, and dance, and lead an enjoyable life?'' 33794 For what did the right teaching of their own Church signify to the papists of the sixteenth century? 33794 Good humour pervades the manly words,What shall I do?
33794Had he done anything so very unprecedented?
33794Had his gospel given greater unity and power to the nation?
33794Have we not ears and understanding?
33794He asked what I had done?
33794How does it happen that at one time you can bear it and at another time not?''
33794How is it that this hard man has so completely lost his composure?
33794I have enough for my whole life, do you not see how well I live?
33794I have taken a nun for my wife, and have had children by her; who has seen that in the stars?"
33794I hope that all the circumstances of my departure will show neither levity, wantonness, nor unseemly purpose?
33794I returned for answer to the Duke that it was no fault of mine; and why had not his Princely Grace sent for wine in proper time?
33794Is Erasmus of Rotterdam still there, and what is he doing?''
33794Is there nothing in this that speaks to us?
33794The Dean replied:''Do you then believe that Christ died for us?''
33794The Dean replied:''What of Jerusalem?
33794The Dean then asked:''Where was it consecrated?''
33794The noble Queen''s thoughts had been wandering to and fro, and she said to me,''What would you advise?
33794Then eight other scholars knelt before the ass, clasped their hands over their heads, and sang,_ Quantus est iste ad throni et dominationes occurrunt?
33794Then said my aunt:''Who knows?
33794Then said the Dean:''Appel, do I hurt you with my hand?
33794Then the Dean bent down towards her, took the stole out of her hands and asked her:''Dear Apollonia, how are you now?
33794There was a high school there, and I found some Swiss, who inquired of me from whence I came?
33794Thereupon the Dean proceeded:''But I wish to know yet one thing, whether you are alone, or have any companions with you?''
33794To which he said:''Why should I not believe it?
33794To which the answer was:"How could He otherwise bow down the stiff- necked?"
33794Was not that a wicked nation?
33794We replied,''We will do that with pleasure, but how must we designate you, that he may understand your greeting?''
33794What else can they preach to the poor people?
33794What if he should be in error?
33794What must have been the feeling of Abraham when he had to sacrifice his youngest and dearest son?
33794What was the Bible?
33794When we took leave of our mother, she wept and said,''Am I not to be pitied, to have three sons going to lead this miserable life?''
33794Where can I now remain, and where will they find brimstone, pitch, fire, and wood enough to pulverize the poisonous heretic?
33794Who was there to punish the young nobleman who maltreated the peasants?
33794With what cold irony he writes:"What shall I do, most holy father?
33794by what virtues could weak men hope to gain the endless treasure of God''s favour?
33794do you now know me and the other people?''
33794is not the coat made yet?
33794may God in Heaven hear me; this great calamity grieves me to the heart; Christ bless thee; what has happened to thee?''
33794our affairs are not going on well; they desire to stop us on our way; where shall we conceal the holy crown?
33794said the Dean earnestly,''you will not come out with the words?
33794said the Dean;''but tell me what is on your head?''
33794who to defend the poor citizen against the powerful family unions of the rich counsellors?
21421''Pray, who is that?'' 21421 And what did you say to that?"
21421Are you sorry to leave us?
21421Before you ran off with your first husband,continued counsel,"were you not employed as a chambermaid?"
21421Did she say anything else?
21421Did you not,enquired counsel,"say''I am a woman of courage, and, if the meeting is in order, I will not stop it''?"
21421Did you see anything else?
21421Do I dance here, in this room, Your Majesty?
21421How dare you hint that I am the man to roll myself in the mud of the gutter? 21421 How many intrigues have you had during your career?"
21421In what way?
21421Is it an offence,enquired M. Duval,"for one man to avoid another?
21421Is it suggested,he demanded acidly,"that I should receive all these would- be ballerinas and put them through their paces?
21421Is not this a brand plucked from the burning?
21421Is the accusation true?
21421Lola Montez-- h''m-- what sort of man was he?
21421She said:''What on earth will the Royal Family say when they hear of this? 21421 To begin with, were you not the mistress of King Ludwig?"
21421Were you not,began the plaintiff''s counsel,"born in Montrose, the daughter of one Molly Watson?"
21421What Paphian cestus,was another sour comment,"does Lola wind round the blade of her poniard?
21421What are you thinking about?
21421What exactly did she say?
21421What has happened to me?
21421What if Europe has exiled her?
21421What is Lola Montez?
21421What is the reason?
21421What special services have you rendered Bavaria?
21421What was that?
21421What will she be up to next?
21421What''s the matter with you?
21421What,he once wrote to Lord Combermere,"are the Gold Sticks to do with that sink of smoking, the Horse Guards''guard and mess- rooms?
21421What,it demanded,"may be the precise article of the military code against which Mr. Heald is thought to have offended?
21421Who,she asked her hearers,"shall compute the stupefying and brutalizing effects of such religion?
21421A journalist, in a column account of her career, was ungallant enough to finish by enquiring"if she were the devil incarnate?"
21421And is she not bound for the East, where every man has four wives?"
21421But what expression can there be in a face bedaubed with white paint and enamelled?
21421But where are we to detect this especial source of power?
21421But where?
21421Can you imagine any girl in her senses turning up her nose at such a match?
21421Clarkson?"
21421Did her moral life in any way detract from her popularity as a woman of talent and of beauty, and an artiste of exceeding fascination and merit?
21421Had she made good, or not?
21421Happy days of Montespan, of Pompadour, of Dubarry, of Potemkin, of Orloff, where have you gone?"
21421Has not the''hypocrisy''been on the other side?
21421Have not almost all the royal family of England-- even those of the House of Hanover-- been notorious for their connection with celebrated women?
21421IV With Adrienne Lecouvreur, Lola Montez must often have asked herself,_ Que faire au monde sans aimer?_"Living without loving"had no appeal for her.
21421In what differs the King of Bavaria from these?
21421Is he ignorant of those of Napoleon himself and Mademoiselle Georges?
21421Is he ignorant that her theatre-- the Olympic-- was ever a resort of the most fashionable and aristocratic people of London?
21421Is it fair or generous of this Seekamp person to behave to me like this?
21421Is this the first time that a lady has had two husbands?
21421Now who shall compute the stupefying and brutalising effects of such a religion?
21421Now, this great deed recorded, Who would not dwell for choice Where heroes are rewarded As in the land of Reuss?
21421Of Arabella Churchill and Katherine Sedley, mistresses of James II?
21421Of the Countess of Kendal, mistress of George II, who was received everywhere in English society?
21421Of the Duke of Clarence and the amiable and respected Mrs. J----?
21421Of the Duke of York and Mary Anne Clark?
21421Or of George IV and the Marchioness of C----?
21421The question is, to what country does she really belong?
21421The question is, what?"
21421Thus, although there was not a scrap of evidence to connect her with the incident, a paragraph, headed"Lola Again?"
21421To descend still lower in the scale of social life, has the Marquis Auguste Papon ever heard of the celebrated Madame Vestris, now Mrs. Mathews?
21421Was prayer, she wondered forlornly, to fail her like everything else?
21421Well, might she not have had both, by the same amount of exercise and simple living?
21421What can be done for a human face that has a sluggish, sullen, arrogant, angry mind looking out of every feature?
21421What do you think?
21421What happened next?"
21421What must be the ultimate political and social freedom that we are discussing?
21421What next?
21421What ought I to do about it?
21421What was behind Lord Ranelagh''s cowardly attack on the débutante?
21421What were you thinking of, Alexandra Dumas, Beringer, Méry, and all my friends when you told me my fault lay in my too great kindness?
21421What will it all amount to?
21421What, she wonders, is the good of becoming fuddled with drunkards and wasting valuable time on half- civilized Asiatics?"
21421When, accompanied by a masculine escort, she entered the sacred edifice, the gentleman(?)
21421Where are Henry IV of France, Henry V, Louis XIV, and Louis XV, with their respective mistresses?
21421Who of their people ever presumed to interfere on the score of morality with the favours and honours conferred on those distinguished women?
21421Who represents anything in Europe to- day?"
21421Who suffers sorrow and pain with the most heroism of heart?
21421Who will dare tell me that this terrible Church does not lie upon the bosom of the present time like a vast, unwieldy, and offensive corpse?
21421Why am I troubled with such nonsense?"
21421Why did M. d''Ecquevillez tell us that the pistols belonged to him?
21421Why not go there and see for herself?
21421Why should our hard- earned money be lavished on her?"
21421With what grace can the public talk about virtue in a public actress, when they have followed in the wake of an ELSSLER?
21421and that he is keeping her at Munich( where he has bought her a house) in the quality of a favourite Sultanah?
21421demanded the journalist, astonished at the outburst,"it''s good publicity, is n''t it?"
28432And how do you wash yours?
28432Are you not the most intellectual people in the world?
28432Are you still worrying your head about_ Kultur_?
28432But do the parents mind that?
28432But have you never heard about Chaucer,she asked,"or of the Elizabethans, or of Milton, Keats, Shelley, Wordsworth...?"
28432But how about the trunks that were not under their right letters?
28432But that is an advantage to the ass,I say;"and in a civilised State why should the ass not have as good a chance as anyone else?"
28432But what do you think of our statues?
28432But what happens to the linen cupboard when you are away?
28432But why should she drink a second glass of champagne if she did not want it?
28432But will they do you any harm?
28432Did she ever forgive the man?
28432Did you ever read_ Backfischchen''s Leiden und Freuden_?
28432Do girls go to Fräulein Müller?
28432Do you mean that the Jews set the fashion in art and literature, and that they sometimes set a bad one?
28432Do you never have to set things to rights here?
28432Forgive!--What was there to forgive? 28432 Have you ever done it?"
28432Have you? 28432 How are the unities of time, place, and action treated in Schiller''s ballads?"
28432How did you like the German beef?
28432How do you know?
28432How do you like your new German governess?
28432I know they do,said the Englishwoman,"and when a servant comes she expects you to say_ Guten Tag_ before you ask whether her mistress is at home?"
28432Is it?
28432No meals except coffee in the morning; you understand that?
28432What can you say about the representation of concrete objects in Goethe''s_ Hermann and Dorothea_?
28432What can you want another table for? 28432 What did you say?"
28432What do the parents say when their daughters take it up?
28432What do you use those long lances for?
28432What else can I have?
28432What is the use?
28432What is there to eat?
28432What is_ Kultur_?
28432What''s the matter?
28432Where are your manners, mein Herr?
28432Where is he?
28432Which did you try?
28432Who in his senses wants to do shopping at night? 28432 Who in his senses wants to find trunks under letters?"
28432Why did you leave your last place?
28432Why do you have it, then?
28432Why does the ghost of Banquo appear to Macbeth, and not the ghost of Duncan?
28432Why should she dress for lunch?
28432Why?
28432With us a passport is necessary; but what is a passport twenty- three years old?
28432Your English novels are rather better than they used to be, are they not?
28432_ Was ist denn los?_we asked in amazement, and were told that the gipsies were coming.
28432_ Was ist''s?_said the dentist, and he looked downright frightened.
28432''But why do you go?''
28432''Oh, my dear,''said she,''what can one do?
28432: Why do you wander elsewhere When happiness is so near?
28432; what difference does that make?
28432After dinner we will walk in the woods--_nicht wahr_?"
28432And what have you to say about the hot water?"
28432But every day... and for lunch, when half the work of the day is still to be done.... What, then, does your second girl do in the afternoons?"
28432But what, I ask you, does the second one do?"
28432But you come across it?"
28432Do you suppose that she was allowed to return to a bare and speechless front door as her English cousin would?
28432Have you any other complaint to make?"
28432Hoggenheimer----?"
28432I''ve planted thyme and myrtle sweet, They grew in my garden; But when shall I my true love meet, How long will he delay yet?
28432Is n''t that one enough?"
28432Lavendel, Myrt''und Thymian Das wächst in meinen Garten; Wie lang bleibt doch der Freiersmann?
28432Schiller!--Was is das?"
28432Shall we buy them into Stifts?
28432Shall we put an end to them?"
28432Shall we send them to Australia?
28432Shall we shut them up in convents?
28432The churches were all very well for a few hours in the morning, but what about the afternoon and evening?
28432The traditional old maid is dying out in Germany as assuredly as she is dying out in England, and who shall regret her?
28432Then he turned to me and asked whether even in England a wife would be so bold and bad?"
28432Think of a German apple- tart--""Why should I?
28432To what a pass have men brought the world, they ask?
28432Was the dog not at large, unmuzzled, on his the policeman''s beat?
28432What are we to do with them?
28432What could I do with dripping as tasted of onion?"
28432What does an Englishwoman know of such things?
28432What does the_ Stammgast_, the regular guest, ask but the ways of home?
28432What would he think of Covent Garden Market?
28432Why do so many people come to your door that you need a whole girl to attend to them?"
28432Why not begin work at five and dine at eleven in the good old German way?
28432You thought him rather funny, but you liked him, and if he wanted to smoke in bed why not?
28432_ Was ist das?_ what is that?
28432_ Was ist das?_ what is that?
28432_ Was ist denn los?_ what is the matter?
28432_ Was ist denn los?_ what is the matter?
28432_ nicht wahr?_ is that not so?
28432_ nicht wahr?_ is that not so?
28432and was not the woman Brünnhilde?
28432he asks,"of going to church in the morning if you get drunk and beat your wife at night?"
28432said my Englishman,"_ Was ist das?_"The education of girls in Germany is in a transition state at present.
28432she shrieked,''a lady ironing in the kitchen?
2109... As to what you tell me of the Princess of Mecklenburg,for whom they want a Brandenburg Prince,--"could not I marry her?
2109Are you actual Protestants, the Treaty of Westphalia applicable to you? 2109 But were you ever at her toilette?"

2109And because I was of faith more than human, you took me for a dog?
2109And still rarer, have readers noted what a power of holding his peace this young man has?
2109And then as to poor Stanislaus?
2109Are the Laws of Nature fallen void?"
2109But then what will the neighboring Kings say?
2109Did the reader ever hear of Finance- Minister Creutz, once a poor Regiment''s Auditor, when his Majesty, as yet Crown- Prince, found talent in him?
2109Did we inform the reader once about Kaiser Karl''s young marriage adventures; and may we, to remind him, mention them a second time?
2109Dullish, we should apprehend,--and perhaps BETTER lost to us?
2109Eternal friendship, OH JA:--and as to Julich and Berg?

2109Having not a groschen of money, how could he succeed?
2109He has a thousand vexations from it every day.... And what aim has the King?
2109Hope your Majesty likes Prag?
2109How can people''s feelings be saved?
2109How the Grand- daughter changed accordingly, went to Barcelona, and was wedded;--and had to dun old Grandpapa,"Why do n''t you change, then?"
2109I am to get nothing out of Brandenburg, my dear Hacke?
2109I tell you there have fallen no snows this winter: how can inundation be?"
2109Imperial Majesty will make me break my word before all the world?
2109In what way shall I offer stronger proofs?
2109Is it worth any human Creature''s while to look into the plans of this precious pair of individuals?
2109Leave Salzburg?"
2109Long ago, at the beginning of this History, did not the reader hear of a pestilence in Prussian Lithuania?
2109Naples itself, crown of the Two Sicilies, lies in the wind for Carlos;--and your junior infant, great Madam, has he no need of apanages?"
2109No end to people''s kindness: many wept aloud, sobbing out,''Is this all the help we can give?''
2109No money to fight France, say you?
2109Not mere fanatic mystics, as Right Reverend Firmian asserts; protectible by no Treaty?"
2109One Catholic, unequalled among Captains, we already have; but where is the Protestant, Duke Eberhard being dead?
2109Or Wallenstein''s Palace,--did your Majesty look at that?
2109Or the Council- Chamber window, out of which"the Three Prag Projectiles fell into the Night of things,"as a modern Historian expresses it?
2109Poor Fred, who of us knows what of sense might be in these demands?

2109Pragmatic Sanction, hitherto refused as contrary to plain rights of ours,--that, if conceded to a spectre- hunting Kaiser?
2109Protestants these two last: but they can not both have it; and what will Wurtemberg say to either of them?
2109Prussian Majesty stares wide- eyed; the breath as if struck out of him; repeats,"Julich and Berg absolutely secured, say you?
2109Readers know of a Book called_ Hermann and Dorothea?_ It is written by the great Goethe, and still worth reading.
2109Terms perhaps known to August to be rash; to have been frightfully rash; but what can he now do?
2109Terrific Spectre, thought to be in Swedish pay,--properly a spy Scullion, in a small concern of Grumkow VERSUS Creutz?
2109The diversions for the Duke of Lorraine are very well schemed; but"--but what mortal can now care about them?
2109Their conversation, road- colloquy, could it interest any modern reader?

2109We dare;--dare we?"
2109What is a mendicant like you come hither for?"
2109Whereby the thoughtless young men were again driven to think of nocturnal charivari?
2109Who in the world will it be, then?
2109Who knows,--or need know?
2109Why stand ye without?''
2109Why take the eldest, if so?
2109With some hereditary King over it, and a regulated Saxony to lean upon: truly might it not be a change to the better?
2109You young creatures, you are of one intention with your parents in this matter?
2109Zisca''s drum, for instance, in the Arsenal here?
2109of my Spouse[ as Ludwig Rudolf does, by all accounts], than to have a blockhead who would drive me mad by her ineptitudes?
2109said he:"What is little Frederika[ my little Baby at Baireuth] doing?"
2109shrieked the Right Reverend Father:"Are we getting into open mutiny, then?
13043''I have a mind to engage Angeli to paint her Majesty''s picture in the costume of Princess Amalia,''said the Emperor''What do you think of it?'' 13043 ''Why?''
13043But, you will say, what of the German navy? 13043 For what,"he asked,"has become of the so- called world- empires?
13043How is it, generally speaking, with art in the world? 13043 Majesty,"said the young commander,"permit me a question-- am I still commander of the regiment?"
13043Of course--"Well, then, will your Majesty allow me to maintain the order-- or else accept my resignation?
13043Pardon, your Majesty,replies the organist, with commendable presence of mind:"May I venture to thank your Majesty for the great mark of favour?"
13043Well, is there anything else?
13043What disposition? 13043 What mark of favour?"
13043What shall our women,he asked, after mentioning the pattern Queen of Prussia, Queen Louise,"learn from the Queen?
13043What? 13043 Who are you, I should like to know?"
13043''Are you prepared to say that my grand- uncle''s chief marshal failed to recognize the genius of the foremost Hohenzollern painter?''
13043Against whom but England are my squadrons being prepared?
13043And is not such a spirit a proper and praiseworthy one?
13043And why not send him?
13043And why not?
13043As regards the Emperor in particular, judgment must be based on the answer to the question, Was the letter a private letter or a public document?
13043But first, what is historical perspective?
13043But in what role would he not have done well?
13043But is it true?
13043But responsibility to whom?
13043But what of official Germany?
13043But what, one is tempted to ask, if will and convictions differ?
13043But what, truly, is art?
13043Ca n''t we for once exchange?
13043Can you tell me a single case in which the Emperor has acted contrary to the Constitution?"
13043Could Bismarck suggest some one else?
13043Germany has great ideals in permanent possession, but are they more or less lost to other peoples?
13043Have I ever been false to my word?
13043He called to me across the table( referring to''Sigurd''),''Is it agreeable if I call the child Sigurd?''
13043How can I convince a nation against its will?"
13043How do we get this Latin exercise?
13043How do you know?"
13043In March of that year he said:"It has been asked, was this telegram an act of personal initiative or an act of State?
13043In immediate proximity to it lies the question, what is ugliness?
13043Is it any wonder if such a man, mediæval in his nature and modern in his character, defies clear and definite portrayal by his contemporaries?
13043Is it not time to discard such error, or must the nations always suspect each other?
13043Is the Kaiser just glitter and tinsel, impulse and rhapsody, with nothing solid beneath?
13043It is admittedly a delightful and admirable form, but is it thoroughly complete?
13043Of the demand for compensation in Central Africa?
13043Of the sending of the_ Panther_ to Agadir?
13043Of the speech at Tangier?
13043On the evening of the birth a telegram came from Queen Victoria,"Is it a fine boy?"
13043On what percentage of his subjects is such a curriculum imposed, and what allowances should not be made if a full measure of success is not achieved?
13043Salzmann wired his opinion to Potsdam, and a telegram came back,"What does''wind too anxious''mean?
13043She has become all three, and what injury has occurred therefrom to England or any other nation?
13043The question is as hard to answer satisfactorily as the questions what is truth or what is beauty?
13043This mass of shortsightedness is no use, since a man who ca n''t use his eyes-- how can he do anything later?"
13043To the Emperor?
13043To the Parliament?
13043To the people?
13043To this was to be added 6 hours in school and 2 hours for eating meals--"How much of the day,"the Emperor asks,"was left?
13043Was that, I ask, the action of a secret enemy?
13043Was that, I repeat, the act of one who wished England ill?
13043What do you mean?
13043What has come over you that you are so completely given over to suspicions quite unworthy of a great nation?
13043What is Germany going to get out of it?
13043What more can I do than I have done?
13043What shall I do now?"
13043What then?
13043What was my reply?
13043What was the state of our army at the beginning of the century?
13043What will he eat twenty years hence, if he now gets roast meat?
13043What, it may however be asked, of the Morocco adventure?
13043What,"he continues,"is lacking in the education of our youth?
13043Where have you been hiding yourself?
13043Who, asks Heine, can name the artist who designed the cathedral of Cologne?
13043Why are our young men misled?
13043Why do we find so many unclear, confused world- improvers?
13043Why is it?"
13043Why is our government so cavilled at and criticized, and so often told to look at foreign nations?
13043is it so stormily painted that you shuddered at it, or is it not stormy enough?"
2111BRUSSELS, 29th August( 1740),_ 3d year since the world flattened._How the Devil, great Philosopher, would you have had me write to you at Wesel?

2111What he will grow to?
2111What shall I do, in this sudden case?
2111What shall I write to England?
2111Wo n''t you have me send you some Books? 2111 Would not your Majesty perhaps consent to sell this Herstal, as your Father of glorious memory was pleased to be willing once?"
2111''Look me in the eyes,''said he;''have I the air of one dying?
2111''When will they be out, and the thing complete?''
2111''Your Majesty, those old Sovereigns are to obtain Heavenly mercy by them, to be delivered out of Purgatory by them.''--''Purgatory?

2111All summer there has gone fitfully a rumor, that he wished to see France; perhaps Paris itself incognito?
2111Amiability is good, my Princess; but the question rises,"To whom?--for example, to the young gentleman who shot himself in Lobegun?"
2111And if so, How, and to what lengths, will he proceed about it?
2111And in that case, how will Austria, Europe at large?
2111And now this Herstal business; the Imperial Dehortatoriums, perhaps of a high nature, that are like to come?
2111And the Kaiser, what will the Kaiser say to it?"
2111And they are not yet out, those poor souls, after so many hundred years of praying?''
2111Apparently that is the Piece by Voltaire?
2111As to the royal mind and understanding, what shall Bielfeld say?
2111At his first meeting of Council, they say, he put this question,"Could not the Prussian Army be reduced to 45,000?"
2111Belonged to the Spaens, fifty years ago;--some shadow of our poor banished friend the Lieutenant resting on it?
2111Brussels, too, is so near these Cleve Countries; within two days''good driving:--if only the times and routes would rightly intersect?
2111But Friedrich Wilhelm was on the alert for it: Are you coming in with your NIE POZWALAM( your LIBERUM VETO), then?
2111But in Germany, what need of Austria being so superlative?
2111But thoughtless Konig, strong in his opinion about the infinitely little, appealed to Maupertuis:"Am not I right, Monsieur?"
2111But, on the other Frontier, neither England nor Holland could take umbrage,"--points clearly to Silesia, then, your Excellency Dickens?
2111Can no one else be got to do it?
2111Colonel Loigle sends word to Broglio; Broglio despatches straightway an Officer and fine carriage:"Will the foreign Gentleman do me the honor?"
2111Could not Voltaire go and try?
2111Extremely interesting to know what Friedrich of Prussia will do in such contingency?
2111Friedrich, in these same days, writes this Autograph; which who of men or lions could resist?
2111Harrington''s reply is to the effect,"Hum, drum:--Berg and Julich, say you?

2111Jordan, with his fine- drawn wit, French logics, LITERARY TRAVELS, thin exactitude; what can be done for Jordan?
2111Meseems a heavier whip than that of satire might be in place here, your Majesty?
2111Or perhaps the Bishop of Liege will bethink him, at last, what considerable liberty he is taking with some people''s whiskers?
2111Orange itself, for example, what was to be done with the Principality of Orange?
2111Perhaps Botta will penetrate him?
2111Perhaps it had been better to stand by mere Prussian or German merit, native to the ground?
2111Princess Tour hopes she shall lodge this unparalleled Prince in her Palace:"You, Madame?"
2111Prussian Budget is fixed, many things are fixed: why talk of them farther?

2111Shall we now apply to the Royal Doggerel again, where we left off, and see the other side of the picture?
2111There are magazines being formed at Frankfurt- on- Oder and at Crossen,"--handy for Silesia, you would say?
2111This foreign Count speaks French wonderfully; a brilliant man, whom the others rather fear: perhaps something more than a Count?

2111Truly; but then again, there are considerations:"What is this Friedrich, just come out upon the world?
2111Two days''driving?
2111Voltaire told us he himself"did one Manifesto, good or bad,"on this Herstal business:--where is that Piece, then, what has become of it?
2111What Preachers he was acquainted with in Berlin?
2111What are rights, never so just, which you can not make valid?
2111What he thought of comedies and operas?
2111What is the young King to do with this paltry little Hamlet of Herstal?
2111What is to be done?
2111What real fighting power has he, after all that ridiculous drilling and recruiting Friedrich Wilhelm made?
2111What work was left for them?
2111What you want of me?
2111Whether he too was a Writer of Books?
2111Who lived in it; what kind of thing was it, is it?
2111Why not?
2111Why should not, say, Three Electors united be able to oppose her?...
2111Will he be faithful in bargain; is not, perhaps, from of old, his bias always toward France rather?
2111Will his Britannic Majesty guarantee me there?
2111Yes; but also towards Cleve, certain detachments of troops are marching,--do not men see?
2111You still say those Masses, then?''

2111poor Broglio is thinking to himself:"must write to Court; perhaps try to detain--?"
2111thinks French cultivated society:"and has not Monsieur done a feat in that line?"
12400After all,he would ask,"who are these Hohenzollerns?
12400Are you ill?
12400How can a man of your intelligence sacrifice your principles to a single individual?
12400I have never heard,he said,"a Prussian soldier singing,''Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?''"
12400Not if I order it as your sovereign?
12400Then I am to understand, your Majesty,said Bismarck, speaking in English;"that I am in your way?"
12400What is there now existing in the world of politics which has a complete legal basis? 12400 What will come of it?"
12400What would my father have said,observed Bismarck,"if he had lived to see me become clerk to a Jewish scholar?"
12400What,he asks,"are the reasons against an alliance with France?
12400Whose sword is it that the Emperor Napoleon has surrendered?
12400Why should we look at Napoleon as the representative of the Revolution? 12400 Why,"he asked,"had they left the alliance against our common enemy, the Revolution?"
12400Against this resistance what could the Government do?
12400And the principle to which he was asked to sacrifice the future of his country,--was it after all a true principle?
12400But if Napoleon is not the sole representative of revolutions, why make opposition to him a matter of principle?
12400But why was there not to be a Conservative party in Prussia?
12400Can we be surprised that as the years went on Bismarck looked with some concern on the result of the struggle he had brought about?
12400Can we be surprised that he refused the offer?
12400Can we wonder that he could not restrain his impatience?
12400England alone clung to Free Trade, and why?
12400He had no sympathy with these doubts and hesitations; why so much distrust of one another?
12400He was greeted by Bismarck with the words:"What are you doing here?
12400Here, at least, he felt on completely secure ground; diplomacy was his profession; what did the professors and talkers in the Chamber know of it?
12400How could Prussia continue the policy of the Holy Alliance when the close union of the three Eastern monarchies no longer existed?
12400How could he decide between Austria and Russia, the two ancient allies of his house?
12400How could they appeal to England as a proof that a democratic Parliament was desirable?
12400How have we Germans got the reputation of retiring modesty?
12400In truth, when the army was the nation, what statesman was there who would venture on war unless he were attacked?
12400It had been decided that in Germany Parliament was not to govern; what then was its function except to display the opinions of the people?
12400It will be asked, why was Bismarck now so careful in his treatment of the smaller States?
12400Meanwhile he had been maturing in his mind a bolder plan: Why should not Prussia gain the support she required by alliance with Napoleon?
12400Moreover, and this was the point which affected him most, what good would come to Prussia even if she were successful in this war?
12400Nay, more; was it right that he should?
12400Need we be surprised that he at least considered whether the latter would not be the safer, the cheaper, and the more humane?
12400No one doubted that the new Napoleon would be willing to use similar means to ensure the power of France; would he meet with willing confederates?
12400The French envoy warned him that his policy might lead to another Jena;"Why not to Waterloo?"
12400The King was right; Germany would never be secure so long as Strasburg was French; but can France ever be secure so long as Metz is German?
12400The great question, however, was, how would Bismarck use his victory over the House?
12400The ideals of the German nation were represented by Arndt''s famous song,"Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?"
12400The late Czar had saved Austria from dissolution, and what had been the reward?
12400The pith of it was contained in the last words:"Do you ask this from us under threat of war?"
12400The question is really as absurd as it would be to ask, why is not an English Parliament content with the power enjoyed by the Prussian Parliament?
12400The question will be asked, was the claim of Augustenburg valid?
12400The question, however, then arose: Would Austria accept this-- would she allow a new Germany to be created in which she had no part?
12400They seemed to his audience reckless; what was this reference to the Treaties of Vienna but an imitation of Napoleonic statesmanship?
12400This, like all he did, was the deliberate result of the consideration: What would tend most to the growth of Prussian power?
12400To whom did the king owe his power?
12400Was Prussia to take part with Russia or the Western Powers?
12400Was it not better to complete the work by the sacrifice of Belgian independence rather than by the loss of 300,000 lives?
12400Was there no fear of this?
12400We may ask, on the other hand, why should the King of Prussia sacrifice his power and prerogative?
12400Were they, however, still to give up all hope of some increase of French territory?
12400What claim had France to be treated with a leniency which she has never shewn to any conquered enemy?
12400What could they do to save the monarchy when the King himself had deserted their cause?
12400What could they look forward to in the future but a ruined peasantry and the crippling of the iron and weaving industries?
12400What did the citizens of Cologne and Aachen care about the Seven Years''War?
12400What do we think of politicians who try to introduce among us the institutions and the faults of foreign countries?
12400What interests of theirs were at stake that they should incur this danger?
12400What is the good of making speeches and scolding?
12400What is the proper use of principles in diplomacy?
12400What is the use of treaties which men are forced to sign?
12400What other country, he asked, was there where a defeated party would look forward to the help of foreign armies?
12400What prospect was there now of this?
12400What recompense were they to gain for this?
12400What use was there in a negotiation in which the two parties had no common ground?
12400What was Bismarck''s motive in making these suggestions and enquiries?
12400What was at the root of the conflict but the question, whether in the last resort the will of the King or the majority of the House should prevail?
12400What was it to be?
12400What was now to be done?
12400What was the cause of this enmity?
12400What was the truth in the matter?
12400What was to be done?
12400What was to happen?
12400What were Bismarck''s motives in this affair?
12400What were the motives which influenced Bismarck?
12400What were to be the terms of the more intimate and special understanding?
12400What would have happened had Denmark after all given in, as England strongly pressed her to do?
12400What would it be when every working man looked forward to receiving, after his working days were over, a free gift from the Government?
12400When Bismarck visited Napoleon at Biarritz, the first question of the Emperor was,"Have you guaranteed Venetia to Austria?"
12400Where was the power to do this?
12400Where, however, were they to address themselves?
12400Who could do this better than Bismarck?
12400Who could say what the end would be?
12400Who had more boldly supported and praised the new rulers of Austria?
12400Who so fitted to come to the help of the Crown as this man who, ten years before, had shewn such ability in Parliamentary debate?
12400Who that has read the history of Europe during this year can doubt the justice of the remark?
12400Who was so well suited to solve the difficulties of internal policy with which Bismarck had struggled so long?
12400Why do great States wage war nowadays?
12400Why should Prussia imitate other countries?
12400Why should Prussia now alone, to its own injury, adopt this excessive caution?"
12400Why should it not have its own Constitution in its own way?
12400Why should they go to war in order to subject Prussia not to the Princes but to the Chambers of the smaller States?
12400With the Peace a new stage begins; the Duchies had been transferred to the Allied Powers; how were they now to be disposed of?
12400Would Austria support Saxony or Prussia?
12400Would he be able to bring it about?
12400Would the Government now press their victory and use the enthusiasm of the moment permanently to cripple the Constitution?
12400Would the King of Prussia accept this task?
12400Would they be able to succeed where the diplomatists of Vienna had failed?
12400Would, however, Schleswig go with Holstein or with Denmark?
12400You have not forgiven us Sadowa, and would you forgive us Sedan?
12400asked Bismarck;"is it the sword of France or his own?
12400why should Prussia sacrifice herself to preserve English influence in the Mediterranean, or the interests of Austria on the Danube?
2106Captain Natzmer to swing on the gallows? 2106 Dismissed, turned off for some fault or other-- or perhaps because the Princess knows enough of English?"
2106Hearken, Louisa( HORE, LUISE), it is still time,said the King:"Tell us, wouldst thou rather go to Anspach, now, or stay with me?
2106Is that enough? 2106 No answer yet?"
2106No answer?
2106Small- pox; what will Prince Fred think? 2106 These intolerable usages from England[ Seckendorf is rumored to have said], can your Majesty endure them forever?
2106What is this? 2106 When will it go off, then( WANN GEHT ES LOS)?"
2106Where is our real King, then? 2106 Who''s dat who ride astride de pony, So long, so lean, so lank and bony?
2106Write to England? 2106 Your whole debt, then, is that?
2106--"Hm, Na, would it, then?"
2106--"What third party, then?"
2106--''What do you mean by that?''
2106--O my dim old Friend, these surely are sublimities of the sick- bed?

2106A man of quality caught me, the other day, reading a Latin Author; and asked me, with an air of contempt, Whether I was designed for the Church?
2106A man of some worth, too;"scrupulously kept his word,"say the witnesses: a man always conscious to himself,"Am not I a man of honor, then?"
2106A successful visit; burns off like successful fire- works, piece after piece: and what more is to be said?
2106After which he left me?"
2106Alas, in the end of June, what far other Job''s- post is this that reaches Berlin and Queen Sophie?
2106Alas, the money was eaten; how could the money be paid back?
2106And the Double- Marriage, in such circumstances, are we to consider it as dead, then?
2106And they called Rebecca, and said unto her, Wilt thou go with this man?
2106And this man is probably one of the"Four Kings"she was to be asked by?
2106And with whom?
2106At length Borck hits on a consideration:"Your Majesty has been ill lately; hand perhaps not so steady as usual?
2106Barely possible some lighter readers might wish to see, for one moment, an Excellenz that has been seized by a Press- gang?
2106But having no forces in the country, what could he do?
2106But how to turn it aside?
2106But is his Britannic Majesty aware?
2106But the settlements, the applications to Parliament:--and all for this perverse Fred, who has become unlovely, and irritates our royal mind?
2106But what can anything profit?
2106Did English readers ever hear of Franke?
2106Does not hate us, he, perhaps; but only Grumkow through him?
2106Friedrich Wilhelm had answered,"Gout?"
2106Friedrich Wilhelm sees well that it all comes from George''s private humor: Why should human blood be shed except George''s and mine?
2106He asked my Sister, If that gave her pleasure?
2106Her Majesty is overjoyed to hear it: who would not be?
2106I am breaking up, then?"
2106If his Majesty had looked into the wood- closet?
2106Is not Grumkow worth his pension?
2106Is not this itself sufficiently tragical?
2106It is certain, the dilapidated Polish Majesty having become a Widower, questions would rise, Will not he marry again?
2106Or can it be the State that will profit from such a marriage?
2106Or shall we not clutch at England, after all,--and perhaps bring him to terms?
2106Part of his road lies through Prussian Territory:"Shall he have free post- horses, as his late Majesty was wo nt?"
2106Perhaps uses may lie in it there?
2106Pragmatic Sanction once acceded to, would probably propitiate the Kaiser?
2106Princes of the Powers of the Air, Shall we define them?
2106Probably the Kaiser will sit still?
2106Probably the Termagant, with all the fire she has, will not do much damage upon Gibraltar?
2106Prussia and Hanover retained hold of their Hypothecs; for as to the expenses, what hope was there?
2106Shall we sum up that sorry matter here, and wash our hands of it?
2106Simple honest Orson of a Prussian Majesty, what a bepainted, beribboned insulting Play- actor Majesty has he fallen in with!--"Hm, so?
2106So that things look well?

2106Such a mass of potential- battle as George or the Hanover Officiality are-- ready to fight?
2106Taken on Brandenburg territory too, and not the least notice given me?"
2106The Formera, beautiful as painted Chaos; yes, her;--and why not, after a while, the Orzelska too, all the same?
2106The SECOND,--cannot WE guess who the second is?
2106The question means withal, What is to be done in these dreadful Congress- of- Soissons complexities, and mad reelings of the Terrestrial Balance?
2106Then his Russian Unique of Wives:--his probable adventures, prior and subsequent, in Uncle Peter''s sphere, can these have been pleasant to him?

2106Then, you English, what is the meaning of these war- fleets in the West Indies; in the Mediterranean, on the very coast of Spain?
2106There exists no Prussia, then, for little George?"
2106These Diplomatic gentlemen,--say, are they aught?
2106Thus the negotiation hangs fire; and will do so,--till dreadful waterspouts come, and perhaps quench it altogether?

2106Why should he?
2106Why was there no Hansard in that Institution of the Country?

2106what would Wilhelmina have thought?
6948Any likelihood of his remembering your services?
6948Anything you wish elucidated?
6948But what can I do?
6948Do you know, Countess, the object of my mission?
6948Do you know,he asked abruptly,"if the German Emperor ever communicates with Viscount Haldane?"
6948Have you got anything for me?
6948Ho, friend,I said;"ready to buy a hotel eh?
6948How and under what circumstances?
6948How are they treating you?
6948How did you get to know him?
6948How did you know?
6948How do you know that? 6948 How long were you in Morocco?"
6948How old are you, Doctor?
6948How would you suggest that we go about it?
6948Is it so extensive and efflcient as we have been led to believe?
6948Is that all?
6948Is the confinement irksome to you?
6948Is there a Countess Techlow?
6948Is there any likelihood of my being recognized?
6948It''s not by your orders then that I am followed?
6948Light it, wo n''t you? 6948 Russia?
6948Subsequently?
6948Suppose, under stress of circumstances the United States should take a definite stand against us in this matter?
6948Supposing,he said,"we show you that it was a_ quasi_-deliberate intention on the part of your employers to have you caught-- what then?"
6948Their system?
6948Tired of waiting, mon ami?
6948Well, Doctor,he said,"have you made up your mind to enter our Service?
6948What do you want?
6948What is your price for not telling?
6948What point?
6948What reason have you then to rearrange my clothes?
6948What reason have you to believe that you were followed?
6948What''s he doing; gambling a lot?
6948Where were your first instructions received?
6948Why have n''t you come to the Folies lately?
6948You agree? 6948 You know Kaid MacLean?"
6948You know Morocco?
6948You''re foolish to stay in here-- You must have something worth while-- Why do n''t you get out?
6948("Do we begin?")
6948After some commonplace conversation, as to how the season was, I asked:"Anybody of interest here?"
6948And have I not reason to be?
6948Any documentary evidence of having been there?"
6948Any private reason?"
6948Are n''t we all drinking together?"
6948Are you ready to start tomorrow?"
6948Are you willing to give these sixteen months of your time to us-- terms to be agreed upon later?
6948But how strong was this alliance?
6948But what had they accomplished?
6948But what were the terms of their bargain?
6948By the way, do you know him?"
6948Can you do anything for me?"
6948Can you imagine a more difficult field of operations for an Occidental and a stranger?
6948Do you know if any officials or naval officers are selling or negotiating to sell information to Foreign Intelligence Departments?"
6948Do you know of any small hotel that we could bug cheap?"
6948Doctor?
6948Finally I said:"Have you any means by which you could compel the ducal house to make adequate acknowledgments and redresses to you?"
6948Finally the conversation drifting around to the cause of my visit, he said:"Can you fulfill this mission?"
6948Formerly of an Hussar regiment, I take it?"
6948Geht''s los?"
6948Have you any data?
6948Have you any reason to fear your previous mission to the Balkans?"
6948He stood for a moment regarding me, then he said,"Well, what is this?
6948How close would England stick to France?
6948How in the world is he or his seat- mate going to do harm to a big craft the size of the Zeppelin that is far above him?
6948How is it that you seem so satisfied with me?"
6948How is this to be done?
6948How soon can you be ready to go on a mission?"
6948I called a careta and as we were driving down the boulevard I said to her:"Is this existence always pleasant?
6948I had to find out local intrigues and gossips, who was in Monte Carlo and what was doing, who were the leading demi- mondaines and gamblers?
6948I opened fire in this way:"Have you any reason to believe that I am a Germa spy?"
6948I was young then, and curious so I asked:"Who are those above and what are their instructions?"
6948If it is n''t his money, whose money is he spending?
6948If this was an honest business letter why was it enclosed in the envelope stationery of a company that knew nothing about it?
6948Is it not as it was with that officer, often unendurable?"
6948Is there any reason why you should not work for us?
6948Know nothing about Russia, yet have acquired a taste for the fine candies of the Moscovites?
6948Mr. King-- Was he released because of the state of his health?
6948Mr. King-- Were any conditions imposed at the time of his release?
6948Now do I get a look at Herr Schmidt''s kiste?"
6948Of course, you have not forgotten the message that you memorized before the Emperor?"
6948On what grounds do you make that assertion?"
6948One morning I would come downstairs to be slapped in the face before a hotel full of people and what could I do?
6948Presently His Majesty looked up, and in that same, rather shrill voice, asked:"How long are you in the Service?"
6948Shall I tell them?"
6948She said:"What guarantee have I that you''ll keep your side of the bargain?"
6948She shook the letters in a temper and cried:"I wonder what Franz''s uncle would say to these?
6948Skeletons at the feast?
6948Still as fond of strawberries as ever?"
6948The mildness of your sentence, has it surprised you?"
6948Then Wilhelm looked up and said:"Have you memorized it?"
6948Understand?"
6948Verstehen sie?"
6948Von Stammer must have noticed my hesitation, for he grinned and said:"Nervous about it?"
6948Walking with quick nervous steps to his desk he acknowledged our bows with a curt nod and turning to Stammer he said:"Well, Stammer?"
6948Was I not fulfilling my duties as a physician doing research work?
6948Well?"
6948Were there any possible Secret Service men?
6948Were you, for instance, at the Schlangenbad meeting?
6948What better than a group photograph of her dear and new friends?
6948What do I do?"
6948What do you think of the chances?"
6948What had loomed big?
6948What if the antecedents of some of the pleasure seekers here were known?
6948What is your Wilhelmstrasse number?"
6948What was his firm willing to pay 100 pounds for?
6948What was in the wind?
6948What was the latest at the Wilhelmstrasse?
6948What will become of France?
6948Where then was it?
6948Wherefor this knowledge?
6948Who are you?"
6948Who is the power holding this key to the situation?
6948Who is this stranger?
6948Who was supplying this driving force, the money, officers?
6948Why not come along to Paris?"
6948Why not make the occasion a happy one?
6948Why then the completely changed attitude of Servia and Bulgaria after their mutual successes against the Turk?
6948Why this return?
6948Why was Germany conniving secretly with Japan?
6948Why was cash enclosed, with it?
6948Why was this letter unsigned?
6948Why?
6948Why?
6948Will the reader step back with me in the narrative to the day of my officially joining the Service?
6948Wo n''t you join me in a glass of wine?"
6948Would the Russian Bear be caught?
6948You thoroughly know what is required of you, Doctor?"
6948You thoroughly understand your instructions?
6948You understand?"
6948You''re rather fond of him already, are n''t you?
6948gentleman be a little more explicit?
33891Ah, you are here, are you? 33891 Am I a nothing at all?"
33891Am I not to have any peace from you?
33891And how do they say,''Yes, not bad?''
33891And how is his Highness Duke Philip, that excellent prince? 33891 And what is your husband''s name?"
33891And why, what''s to prevent you?
33891Are you provided with small change that is current everywhere?
33891Ca n''t you hear?
33891Can not you give us some wine? 33891 Dear cousins,"she said to the Schwartes,"how do you do?
33891Dear son,said our mother,"why this sadness?
33891Did you hear what the cardinal said?
33891Do you admit the doctrine of our holy father, the pope?
33891Do you hear me?
33891Do you want any fish?
33891Dost thou know a war cry?
33891From what country?
33891Have not you noticed any one going in a great hurry either on horseback or on foot?
33891Have you any children?
33891How am I to pass without the smallest bit of parchment?
33891How dare you,I exclaimed,"talk in that way in Italy, and on the very territory of the Church?
33891In that case,I retorted,"are you not yourselves under the Divine protection?"
33891Johannes Walther? 33891 Johannes, Peter, Nicholas,"he exclaimed,"can you understand this horrible and ignominious death for claiming my own property?"
33891Just look, father,I exclaimed,"did I not sell myself at my worth?
33891Master Johannes,said we,"you know it is forbidden to eat before the mass?"
33891Oh,he remarked,"you are going farther, then?"
33891Should I be deserving of the magistrates''confidence if I were so incapable of conducting my own affairs? 33891 To whom dost thou belong?"
33891True, will your Grace give me your hand on the promise?
33891What am I doing here? 33891 What are we to do?"
33891What are you doing here, and what has happened?
33891What do you want now?
33891What does it matter?
33891What for?
33891What had they done?
33891What hast thou got in thy valise?
33891What have you got there?
33891What is your opinion with regard to the Mother of God, the saints and the celebration of mass?
33891What shall you do with your nice house?
33891What''s the meaning of this?
33891What''s your name?
33891What, are you married?
33891What? 33891 Whither are you going?"
33891Whither are you going?
33891Whither art thou going?
33891Who goes there?
33891Why are the gates shut, and why is the alarm being sounded?
33891Why does this woman speak of her daughter and not of her husband?
33891Why vex our parents? 33891 You scum of the earth,"he yelled;"did you not unjustly fine me twenty florins?
33891_ Sunt isti ex tuâ parte?_he asked.
33891_ Ubi est noster Carlovitius?_he asked of Duke Maurice.

33891And now I ask you, is it not the same whether you enter Paradise by the door or by the window?
33891And why, if these are your opinions, do you take service against the Evangelicals?"
33891Are we to jeopardize our liberties?"
33891Are you willing to hand over the public chest?"
33891As her daughters were weeping bitterly my mother said:"Why do you weep?
33891At the end of the meal a goblet(?)
33891But does the ass ever succeed in hiding its ears?
33891But what about Ingoldstadt?
33891Carlowitz came down the stairs of the chancellerie in hot haste, exclaiming:"Whither is your Highness going?"
33891Citzewitz having said,"The princes are lords of the chapter,"Dr. Tauber replied,"Yes,_ sed secundum quid_?
33891Clever man that he was, the confessor asked:"_ Ubi maledixisti Pontifici, in patriâ vel hic Romae?_""_ In patriâ_."
33891Consequently, one has the right to ask:"Where was the advantage of detaching the seal?"
33891Could it be expected that such a river should suddenly lose itself in the sand?
33891Do Lorbeer''s admirers imagine that Duke Albrecht would not have avenged the outrage when once his throne was consolidated?
33891Do not we read in the Epistles of Paul:''Marriage is honourable among all things''?
33891Do you remember how your wife mourned her mother?
33891Does not the poet say,_ Omina principiis semper inesse solent_?
33891Does she still cry at the mention of her name?
33891Have you not got your paunch to fill?"
33891How am I to keep alive?
33891How did we dare to appear in public armed with daggers-- a crime which was punished with hanging in Italy?
33891How is your wife?
33891How were they going to avoid being sent to prison?
33891How would people, for whom the space of a large city seemed insufficient, agree under the same roof, at the same board, in the same bed?

29473What do the lives of 10,000 Poles weigh in the balance beside the great strategic necessities to encompass Bismarck''s idea of a United Germany?
29473What does the prince do in this dilemma?
29473What greater tests of loyalty do you ask of human nature?
29473What is that shouting over yonder?
29473What more pray do you ask of human nature?
29473What then does it all mean?
29473What would future generations say of Bismarck''s work?
29473What would you, please?
29473What, pray, about this subconscious impression, that everybody has about an impending war with France?
29473When I lie down, I say, when shall I arise, and the night be gone?
29473Where is the German Fatherland?
29473Who now is master, who now servant?
29473Who now is shown to be the real power behind the throne?
29473Who read the proclamation to the assembled company expressing the new dignity of the sovereign over United Germany?
29473Why did not Caprivi carry the Army Bill?
29473Why did not Caprivi follow my plan of making the Government the arbiter of German conscience?
29473Why not?
29473Will he arrive in time?
29473Would it not endanger our King''s sacred throne?
29473Would you not have done as much, or even more?
29473and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
29473le Ministre, will you pardon me a very indiscreet question?
29473¶ And did his stern face never break into an ironical smile?
29473¶ And what would they do with their new bauble, liberty, fraternity and equality?
29473¶ And yet, that night, he had been reading in his room after the dreadful Sedan carnage-- what do you think?
29473¶ Behold our old master in retirement, as obscure as a simple country squire; and he reads again-- what do you think?
29473¶ Bismarck''s inconsistencies?
29473¶ But what would you in this imperfect world?
29473¶ Come, come, are we not justified in our character study of Bismarck?
29473¶ Did he not ask old von Moltke to resign?
29473¶ Did he take kindly to his enforced retirement?
29473¶ Did you ever see a bulldog battle with one of his kind?
29473¶ Does he still believe in his old ikon?
29473¶ His final consolation was the Book of Job; and he read therein these strange and solemn words: ¶ What is my strength, that I should hope?
29473¶ In the innumerable dynasties of Babylon, Nineveh, Egypt, Greece, Arabia, Armenia, what man ruled who did not force his leadership?
29473¶ Is it too much to say that in this great National crisis, Bismarck was more than servant of the King?
29473¶ Is there not something puzzling in the devotion of a people to their amiable oppressor?
29473¶ Naturally you ask,"Was this Bismarck then a beast?"
29473¶ On one occasion he moodily replied to a question:"Who are the Hohenzollerns?
29473¶ Opposition?
29473¶ Tell me, did you ever achieve any success that you did not have to go out and fight for?
29473¶ Thus reasoned Bismarck, and surely he should be the best authority on the conclusions of his own mind?
29473¶ To bring the matter home, let us ask,"How is it in the United States?"
29473¶ Was ever mortal so utterly out of touch with the prevailing French conception of liberty, equality and fraternity?
29473¶ What is going to happen next?
29473¶ What were they fighting about in Holstein?
29473¶ Why is it that, in the American Republic, there is aversion to acknowledging the services of men sprung from aristocracy, like Bismarck?
29473¶ Will Bismarck come to a similar end on the scaffold of the Prussian liberals?
29473¶ You are familiar with the painting by LaFarge, depicting the boy Napoleon, in the school yard at Brien, walking to one side, by himself?
29473¶"And after that, sire?"
29473¶"Oh, well, all must die,"cut in Bismarck indifferently,"and the question is can a man die more honorably than for his country?
29473¶"Then I understand, Your Majesty, that I am in your way?"
29473¶"Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?"
29473¶"What is the meaning of this Windhorst interview?"
29473¶"What matter if they hang me, provided the rope binds this new Germany more firmly to the throne?"
29473¶"Who are you?"
29473¶"Who is your king?"
29473¶"You are not looking well, Chief?"

2122''Why not to Ruppin?'' 2122 ''You may tell me, I have no view in asking: why did the man take his discharge?''
2122His Majesty now stept into his carriage again[ was Gortz sitting all the while, still in silence? 2122 ''Tell me now, what is that village over on the right yonder?'' 2122 ( p. 22);--but, surely, except as above, it has no sense? 2122 --[TO ME]''Tell me now, is the Elbe far from here?'' 2122 --[TO RATHENOW]''Have you children too, Rathenow?'' 2122 --[TO THE FORESTER]''But do you know how fir- cones( KIENAPFEL) should be sown?'' 2122 A daughter of General von Krocher''s?'' 2122 About how many, that is?'' 2122 Amtsrath? 2122 Are there jolly children?'' 2122 Are you married?'' 2122 As the DAMME,Dams or Raised Roads through the Peat- bog,"are too narrow hereabouts, I could not, ride beside him,"and so went before?

2122The murrain( VIEHSEUCHE) is not here in this quarter?''

2122When we came upon the patch of Sand- knolls which lie near Fehrbellin, his Majesty cried:--"''Forester, why are n''t these sand- knolls sown?''
2122Where are the four sons that are still in life?''

17737And do you suppose that the Belgians protested? 17737 Say, Yes or No, wilt thou go with me to the conquest of the world?
17737What need I say of Turkey that you do not know already? 17737 After our experiences of 1868 and 1869--and even 1870--how can we be guilty of running the same risks again? 17737 Am I not entitled to say to you, dear readers,I have fulfilled the mission that I set before myself, my work amongst you is accomplished"?
17737And what is more, has not the new President of the Evangelical Church just proclaimed William II as_ summus episcopus_?
17737Are not the intentions of Germany plain enough now and sufficiently proved?
17737Are we, then, to see the Reichstag in its turn, like the French and Italian Parliaments, wasting its millions and its men in colonial adventures?
17737As to such questions as those of territorial frontiers, or the banks of the Rhine, Bamberger used to ask,"Who thinks of such things in Germany?
17737Between this German conception of peace and ours, is there not a gulf that nothing can ever bridge?
17737But if not, why should they have been at such pains formerly to prove to me that the thing was inconceivable?
17737But what does the Constitution matter to William II?
17737But what have they done?
17737But why, and to what end?
17737Can any one possibly find any absolution, any excuses, for such a deplorable mismanagement of our material and moral interests in the East?
17737Can the heavens that look down on Mount Sinai smile on William II, sheltering in the shadow of Turkish bayonets?
17737Could any one be more determined to be a pillar of the Church?
17737Could anybody be more pious, a more resolute foe of those vices which he pursues with such energy?
17737Did he not do everything to lull the suspicions of Napoleon whilst he himself was arming to the teeth?
17737Does it mean to say that the French would threaten us with war if we continue to celebrate our victories over them?
17737Does not this constitute an insolent challenge to the decision which the Powers are supposed to have taken for the observation of neutrality?
17737Has he not composed psalms?
17737Has the Hamburg Congress disabused the minds of French Socialists on the brotherhood of their German brethren?
17737Have the wings of the German Emperor the span of those of Lucifer, as he believes?
17737How can anybody suppose that William II really wishes to do honour to French art?
17737How could we forget those who have not ceased to remember?
17737How many strengthening and encouraging letters have I not received from you?
17737How often have I not told him that all he has to gain by playing this game is a final surrender on the part of France?
17737I wonder whether the ever- mystical William II sometimes reflects on the ways by which God leads men into His appointed ways?
17737If it is difficult now to expel all malcontents from Prussia, what will it be when their number is legion?
17737If they reflect, will not the Powers of the Concert realise that Germany''s every act is either a challenge or a lesson?
17737If you ask: To whom does William II give satisfaction?
17737In binding herself to Germany, has not Italy given herself over into bondage to the Teuton and especially to Austria, her hereditary foe?
17737In different words they ask:"Is n''t the young Emperor amusing?"
17737In the Empire of the Hapsburgs, as in Germany, people are asking;"What is going to be the end of all this expenditure?"
17737Is he not about to take possession, in theatrical fashion, of the Holy Places?
17737Is he not the_ summus episcopus_, who conducts the service in person?
17737Is it generally known that the German subjects of the poorer class who inhabit Paris, receive an annual subsidy of 100 marks?
17737Is it not the same for all evil- doers, no matter to what heights they may attain, who only climb that they may be hurled to lower depths?
17737Is it possible that the mind of such a man, thus inflated with pride, should not succumb to every temptation of ambition?
17737Is not this clear enough?
17737Is not this in itself good and sufficient reason to make him wish to prove that no one in his Empire can do as much brain work as he can?
17737Is there any one of those about him, or amongst his subjects, who can say where these ambitions will end?
17737Is there not something astounding about the use of the possessive pronoun in connection with the word"august,"implying sovereignty?
17737Let the effrontery of his lies return to him in bitterness?"
17737May not the explanation of King Leopold''s journey be, that William II would like a mobilisation in Belgium just as he wants one in Italy?
17737Moreover he had a stiff fight in the Parliament of the Empire with regard to the new relations with[ Transcriber''s note: which?]
17737Now, what has the young King of Prussia done since his accession to the Throne?
17737One would like to know where the war party in Russia can possibly be at the present moment?
17737Pope, Emperor and King-- but does anybody suppose that this will satisfy him?
17737Shall it be said that we failed those who rather than yield have suffered every form of torture?
17737Surely that is simple enough?
17737These people ask: How is it that_ your_ Emperor of Russia has delayed so long in expressing to us his condolence?
17737Von Bismarck?
17737Was not William I, King of Prussia, amiable enough?
17737We have_ permitted_ them to become Germans, why then, should they refuse the privilege?"
17737What change has there been in the situation since Kronstadt?
17737What does Russia, so jealous for the Holy Places, think of the intrusion into them of the German Kaiser?
17737What matters it that the Chinese will not resist, that they will fall prostrate before him?
17737What more could he ask?
17737What need is there for us to seek to reconcile Germany and Russia in China?
17737What object had he in going there, and what has he attained?
17737What say you, Parisians of the Siege, Frenchmen who have seen the Prussian conqueror dragging his guns and booty along the roads of our France?
17737What say you, men of Alsace- Lorraine, heroes all?
17737What say you, veteran soldiers, who fought in the Terrible Year?
17737What then would have been the results had she paid us an official visit?
17737What would be the cumulative effect of want of exercise at the end of a year?
17737What would have been the good?
17737What would one think of a creditor who allowed the debtor to persuade him that the debt no longer existed?
17737What, then, is the good of all their talking at Münich?
17737When shall we have a determined coalition against Germany?
17737When will they have done, once and for all, with inscribing these cruel records of theirs in the golden book of Germany, and shut the clasp upon it?
17737Who could fail to be roused to indignation by the display of German fanaticism which has taken place at Vienna?
17737Who wanted our government to go there?
17737Whom can he possibly hope to deceive?
17737Why is it that William II wearies not in thus renewing his attempts at reconciliation with France?
17737Why should we go to Kiel?
17737Why was the King of Belgium in such a hurry?
17737Why?
17737Will Austria follow once more the lead of Berlin?
17737Will Denmark, whom William II has had the audacity to invite, go to Kiel?
17737Will Germany continue to become Prussianised or will she remain German?
17737Will Germany yield, or will she resist the will of the Emperor thus clearly expressed?
17737Will it ever be finished, this tale?
17737Will this"new course"of Imperial policy, as they call it in Germany, last any longer than its predecessor?
17737Would Italy have recovered Lombardy and Venice had she not unceasingly protested against the Austrian occupation?
17737[ 10] What are the qualities which have distinguished the Government of Germany since the victories of Moltke?
17737[ 11] May we not flatter ourselves that the torments of William II are now beginning?
17737[ 16] But no, it can not be, for has he not been converted?
17737[ 16] How can one avoid taking an interest in William II of Hohenzollern?
2112And the Austrian Hapsburgs being out, do not the Spanish Hapsburgs come in? 2112 Are we to stand here like milestones, then, and be all shot without a stroke struck?"

2112Slight stutter ensues on the part of the Four Grenadiers; but they give one another the hint, and dash forward:"Prisoners?"
2112Surely question will rise, Whether distaff can, validly, hand it over to distaff''s husband, as they are about doing?
2112Surely the Bishop himself, respectable Cardinal Graf von Sinzendorf, had better get out of these localities while time yet is?"
2112The Jesuit- Priest kind are clear in their minds for Austria; but think, Perhaps Prussia itself will not prove very tyrannous?
2112The King, and the few who had not yet broken down, arrive at the Gate of Oppeln, late, under cloud of night:"Who goes?"
2112The first point to be noted is, Where did it originate?
2112The question, How you buy?
2112There are two claimants on the Milanese, then; the Spanish Termagant, and he?
2112There is the Key lying: but to GIVE it-- You are not the Queen of Hungary''s Officer, I doubt?"
2112These beautiful improvements, beautiful humanities,--were done by whom?
2112These two, will they side with Prussia, will they side with Austria?
2112Think, your Majesty: ought not that Bohemian Vote to be excluded, for one thing?
2112This Paper, after the question, Burn or insert?
2112This, then, is what the Pragmatic Sanction has come to?
2112Together they may do some execution, if we judge by the old Bucanier and Queen- Elizabeth experiences?
2112Treaty of Westphalia mended much of this, and set fair limits to Papist encroachment;--had said Treaty been kept: but how could it?
2112Under mild pretexts:"Peaceable as lambs, do n''t you observe?
2112Unfortunate Schulenburg did at last come up:--had he miscalculated the distances, then?
2112WHO WAS TO BLAME FOR THE AUSTRIAN- SUCCESSION WAR?
2112War at any rate inevitable, you object?
2112We may be attacked, then, this very night, if they are diligent?
2112What Friedrich''s own humor is, what Friedrich''s own inner man is saying to him, while all the world so babbles about his Silesian Adventure?
2112What is to be done, then?
2112What is truth, falsity, human Kingship, human Swindlership?
2112What the issue will be?
2112What to do with such a War; how extricate the Episode, and leave the War lying?
2112Where does it issue?
2112Whether, in fact, Kur- Bohmen is not in abeyance for this time?"
2112Which doubtless he would have done, had it been in his power; but how, except by miracle, could it be?
2112Which perhaps are symptomatic circumstances?
2112Whither is the dusky Swan of Padua gone?]
2112Whitherward; How; What?
2112Who dared suspect our King''s indifference to Protestantism?''"
2112Why not?''
2112Why spend money on couriers, and get into such a taking?"
2112Would the reader care to look for a moment?
2112Would you like to know my way of life?
2112You all laughed at him as a fool: do you begin to see now who was wise, who fool?

2113''And pray, Monsieur, who are they?'' 2113 ''Have not I great reason to be dissatisfied with your Court?
2113''His Excellency Podewils has been taking notes; if I am to be bound by them, might I first see that he has mistaken nothing?'' 2113 ''Is that your Majesty''s deliberate answer?''
2113''Let us see then( VOYONS), what is there more?'' 2113 ''MILORD, DE QUOI S''AGIT- IL A PRESENT( What is it now, then)?''
2113''Retire out of Silesia? 2113 ''What do you mean?
2113''What was the sum of money then offered her Hungarian Majesty?'' 2113 ''With that Answer: is your Majesty serious?''
2113''Would your Majesty consent now to stand by his Excellency Gotter''s original Offer at Vienna on your part? 2113 ''Would your Majesty consent to an Armistice?''
2113And you consent, if I take that in hand?
2113Can not one still mend it; can not one still do something of the like?
2113Clippings of Bohemia? 2113 Did not I give up my invaluable Silesia, the jewel of my crown, for you, cruel Britannic Majesty with the big purse, and no heart to speak of?"
2113False?
2113How a King''s Daughter and an Empress are to meet, was probably never settled by example: what number of steps down stairs does she come? 2113 In Heaven''s name, what are your intentions, then?"
2113Is it conceivable that Friedrich could have beaten us, in that manner, except by buying Neipperg in the first place? 2113 Let the Silesian matter stand where it stood,"thinks Friedrich:"since Austria will not, will you?
2113Mendacity,my friends?
2113Shall I join with the English, in hope of some tolerable bargain from Austria? 2113 Surely you are a Sea- Power, ye valiant Dutch; the OTHER Sea- Power?
2113The Austrians will not complete their bargain of Klein- Schnellendorf?
2113Why not drive him out of Budweis,think the Two French Marshals,"him and whatever force can come?
2113Wo n''t your Majesty co- operate?
2113''How is it possible, my Lord, to believe things so contradictory?
2113''Might I request a short Private Audience of your Majesty?''
2113''Price?''
2113''Take Prag: but how?''
2113( We have no strong place, or footing in this Country: what are we to do?
2113-- It is true they have no money, these blind dull people; but are not the Sea- Powers, England especially, there, created by Nature to supply money?
2113--Can his Excellency Hyndford get Vienna, get Feldmarschall Reipperg with power from Vienna, to accept: Yes or No?
2113--He concludes:"Have I need of Peace?
2113... That expression made him smile, and he began to look a little cooler....''Shall we apply to Vienna, your Majesty?''

2113A very strong resolution, they and the Gazetteers think it; and ask themselves, Is it not likely to have some effect?
2113Above all, if Neipperg''s Army were to disengage itself, and be let loose into those parts?
2113Am not I fortifying Brieg and Glogau?
2113And for money?
2113And from England, in about a fortnight, gets for answer,"Do harm, think you?
2113And go not into that dust- whirlwind of extinct stupidities, O reader:--what reader would, except for didactic objects?
2113And in a prompt manner, if you please, Sir; why not prompt and abundant?
2113And to me they can not spare a few trifling Principalities?
2113Are we alarm- clocks, that need only to be wound up, and told at what hour, and for whom?]
2113At all events, if asked: Where then is the specifical not"superstitious"WANT of"veracity"you ever found in Friedrich?
2113Austria prefers your friendship; but if your Majesty disdain Austria''s advances, what is it to do?
2113Being again urged, Why have not you performed?
2113Besides, who would guarantee them?''
2113But how could she see to do it,--especially with little George at her back, and abundance of money?
2113But now again, see, do not the dust- clouds pause?
2113But what can sympathies avail?
2113But will they?
2113Certain enough, Peace with Friedrich is now on the way; and can not well linger:--what prospect has Austria otherwise?
2113For if she is a Kaiser''s Daughter and Kaiser''s Spouse, am not I somewhat too?
2113France will be contentable with something in the Netherlands; what else can she want of us?
2113Friedrich, in astonishment and indignation, sends a messenger to Dresden:"Would the Polish Majesty BE''King of Moravia,''then, or not be?"
2113Has not France guaranteed the Pragmatic Sanction; has not England?
2113Have not they given whole Kingdoms to Spain?
2113Have they ever got to his Majesty?
2113Here is a successful young King; is not he?
2113Here is the enormous jumbling of a World broken loose; boiling as in very chaos; asking of him, him more than any other,"How?
2113How is it that you will not?"
2113How keep our incognito, with all these people heaping civilities upon us?
2113I asked, Where are those nine acres; what crop is now upon them?
2113I have now joined with France; and to join against it in this manner?
2113If the English would but get me a bargain--?
2113If the Queen prosper, I shall-- perhaps I shall have no objection to join her by and by?
2113In return for which his Prussian Majesty-- will do what?
2113Interests of Kur- Sachsen''s in that Country?"
2113Is it not the one thing needful?
2113Is not this the bulwark of your Prag just now?"
2113It is really difficult to say what: Be a true ally and second to France in its grand German Adventure?
2113Kaiser Ferdinand, Karl V.''s brother, on a Progress to Prag, came to lodge at Czaslau, one afternoon:"What is that?"
2113Limburg?

2113Old Uuddenbrock, surely, did not himself RIDE in the charge?
2113Or suppose, we are beaten by him?''
2113Ought not Karl Albert to be upon the road again?
2113Parings from that outskirt, what are these compared with Silesia, a horrid gash into the vital parts?
2113Perhaps it is not true?
2113Prince George of Hessen- Cassel, did readers ever hear of him before?
2113QUOI, such a paltry scraping( BICOQUE) as that, for all my just claims in Silesia?
2113Queen and Hofraths have been waiting in agony of suspense,"Will Friedrich bargain on those gentle terms, and help us with 100,000 men?"
2113Retire out of Silesia, which has cost me so much treasure and blood in the conquest of it?
2113Sends to Silesia, to Glatz and the Young Dessauer;--nay to Brandenburg and the Old Dessauer?
2113Shall I be bought out of this country?
2113Shall I have to join with the French, in despair of any?"
2113So that he had soon quitted Mahren; made for Budweis and neighborhood:--dangerous to Broglio''s outposts there?
2113Such Town Sovereign persecutes innocence, stops his ears to its cry; flourishes his sharp scourge;--no one shall complain: for is it not justice?
2113Such is Robinson''s gloomy view: finished, he, and the game lost,--unless perhaps Hyndford could still do something?
2113Support France, at least in its small Bavarian Anti- Austrian Adventure?
2113Syndic Guzmar and the peccant Officials being summoned out to Strehlen, it had been asked of them,"Do you know this Letter?"
2113The arm- chair( FAUTEUIL), is that to be denied me?"
2113The rest-- the spiders are very welcome to it: who of mortals would read it, were it made never so lucid to him?
2113The saving operation, Friedrich well sees, would be to get hold of Brunn: but, unluckily, How?
2113To unravel cobwebs, and register laboriously and date and sort in the sorrow of your soul the oaths of crowned dicers,--what use is it to gods or men?
2113Vehemently fought on both sides;--calculated, one may hope, to end this Silesian matter?
2113Was there ever so contingent a Treaty before?
2113What can the Town Major do; Prussian grenadiers, cannoneers, gravely environing him?
2113What else is their purpose in Creation?
2113What is his Britannic Majesty to do?
2113What is the use to human creatures of recording all that melancholy stuff?
2113What, How?"
2113What?"
2113Who minds or keeps guarantees in this age?
2113Why do n''t you all fly to the Queen''s succor?''"
2113Will even the King of Prussia himself be reserved to the last?
2113Will he, like that DIVER of Schiller''s, have to try the feat a second time?

2119What, from Rothe Vorwerk to Big Hollow, no passage, say you; no crossing?
2119Why not in Nanci here?
2119Will not Excellency Soltikof, who disdains idleness, go himself upon Silesia, upon Glogau for instance, and grant me a few days?
2119Would not Dantzig by ourselves be the advisable thing?
2119''Fatherly?
2119''May not some of them belong to Polish Majesty?''
2119''You?''
2119''Your obstinate Town can be bombarded, then,--cannot it?''
2119( Answer, evasive on this point):"Are you bandaged, though?

2119A Siege of Colberg, however, there is actually to be: Second Siege,--if perhaps it will prove luckier than the First was, two years since?
2119A very disappointing circumstance to Soltikof;"Austrian Junction still a problem, then; a thing in the air?
2119ALDER Waste?
2119About seven in the morning Maguire had his Messenger in Dresden,''Your Excellency''s Paper ready?''
2119After all, I am so used to treacheries and bad manoeuvres,"--what matters this insignificant one?
2119And first of all, concerning the enigma"What is Luc?"
2119And if not, what becomes of you?
2119And who, in the interim, will watch Daun and his enterprises?
2119And with regard to the requisition of proviant, they answered in a scornful angry key,''Proviant?
2119At once thither;--and leave Glogau and the Russians to their luck,--which in such case, what is it like to be?
2119Beautifully written too, says Retzow; but what, in the eyes of this King, is beautiful writing, to knowing your business well?
2119But again, did not his Majesty expect, do not these words"a bout"still seem to expect, a bit of fighting with somebody or other?
2119But can English readers consent to halt in this hot pinch of the Friedrich crisis; and read the briefest thing which is foreign to it?
2119But in the northwest part, those Fincks and Wunsches, Excellenz?"
2119But it must have been an interesting discovery to Daun, if he foreshadowed to himself what results it would have on him:"Taking the defensive, then?
2119Continue that, and what becomes of Soltikof and me?
2119Daun has a horror at weakening himself to that extent; but what can he do?
2119Daun is off from Triebel Country to this dangerous scene; indignantly cashiers Deville,''Why did not you attack these Ziethen people?
2119Did, all that Monday, his best to prepare himself; called in his outposts("Was not I ordered?"
2119Does it depend on me?
2119Et qu''auraient- ils a craindre en se revoltant?...
2119Finck had not a gun or a man in it:"Had not I order?"
2119Friedrich had observed his fiery ways on the day of Leuthen:"Hah, a new Winterfeld perhaps?"
2119Friedrich takes the road for Guben; reaches Markersdorf( twenty miles''march, still seven or eight from Guben); falls upon-- What phenomenon is this?
2119From Triebel he sends the news at gallop to Lieberose and Soltikof:"Rejoice with us, Excellenz: did not I predict it?
2119Had not you 10,000, Sir?''
2119Has not Daun good reason now to be proud of the cunctatory method?
2119Have you been let blood?"
2119He has now no Winterfeld, Schwerin, no Keith, Retzow, Moritz:--whom has he?
2119He makes charming verses, in times when another could not write a line of prose; he deserves to be happy: but will he be so?
2119He was of that sad Zittau business of the late Prince of Prussia''s,--Goltz, Winterfeld, Ziethen, Schmettau and others?
2119Hear the stiff Answer that comes:"''Conditions of Peace,''do you call them?
2119How can Daun, if himself merely speculative, calculative, hope that Soltikof will continue acting?
2119I grieve to resemble Cassandra with my prophecies; but how augur well of the desperate situation we are in, and which goes on growing worse?

2119Or of what use was it anywhere?
2119Or will not he perhaps go, of himself, when the rough weather comes?''"
2119Or would readers care to glance into the very fact with their own eyes?
2119Our Court will cheerfully furnish money, instead of meal."--"Money?

2119Serene Highness gets on horseback; but what can that help?
2119Shall he manoeuvre himself out, and march away, bread- carts, baggages and all entire?
2119Soltikof understands the congratulations very well; but as to that of trampling out, snorts an indignant negative:''Nay, you, why do n''t you try it?
2119That is Retzow''s notion: who knows but there may be truth in it?
2119The case is critical; especially this Haddick- Loudon part of it: add 30 or 36,000 Austrians to Soltikof, how is he then to be dealt with?
2119The poor Fortress of Peitz was taken again;--do readers remember it,"on the day of Zorndorf,"last year?
2119There is such a thing as being too cunctatory, is not there, your Excellency?
2119They say Prince Henri took the liberty of counselling him, even of entreating him:"Leave well alone; why run risks?"
2119To the disgust of Serene Highness:''Which of you did stand, then?

2119With his own eyes he sees Reichsfolk marching, in quantity, southeastward by the Elbe shore:"Intending towards Dohna, as is like?"
2119Yes, to Glogau possibly enough,"thinks Daun:"Or may not he, cunning as he is and full of feints, intend a stroke on Bautzen, in my absence?"

2119not close enough?''
2119not far enough?
2119thinks Contades( as Ferdinand wished him to do):''Is our skilful enemy, in this extreme embarrassment, losing head, then?

2119thinks Wedell:"Can not we burst in on their flank, as they march yonder, those awkward fellows; and tumble them into heaps?"

36412''Who can prevent his forcing despotic military rule on the nation, for the nation''s good, of course?
36412''Who knows,''one of their writers said,''he may make the hopes of the Duke de Reichstadt his own, and live to see them fulfilled''?
36412''Who told you that?
36412''Why do you ask that question?''
36412''Why not?''
36412''Why not?''
36412''Why should a great country like yours want to force us to sell the Danish Antilles?
36412''Without the consent of the people?''
36412''Would our Government agree to take less than the three Islands?''
36412''You are sure?''
36412''You have black nurses,''Her Majesty said to me;''why are your people, especially in the South, not more kind to their race?''
36412''You would, then, like to see the German Emperor more democratic-- a President, like ours, only hereditary, governing quasi- independent States?''
36412A pledge on the part of England that Denmark would be protected both against Germany and Russia?
36412Against England?
36412Against Russia?
36412And German world dominion?
36412And the Federal Council, what chance has it against the will of our emperor?
36412And what have the people to do with the Federal Council?
36412And why?
36412Anti- German?
36412As for diplomacy, what had it to do with the fate of the little nations?
36412At least, for the first time, the red light was lit,--who cared for a second time?
36412Before the king could ask a question, Sir Alan Johnstone cut in, just behind me,''From whom did you hear it?''
36412Besides, were there not other powers who might find it to their advantage to prevent the Danish West Indies from falling into our hands?
36412But how did this man know of it?
36412But there was and is one old query which all Denmark never forgets to ask: Will Danish Slesvig come back to its motherland?
36412But this is your first post in Europe?''
36412But war?
36412Can it be?
36412Can the Reichstag appoint a chancellor?
36412Do you believe for a moment that the ultra- Bismarckian policy which controls Germany will consider you anything but a pawn in the diplomatic game?
36412Do you think Bernstorff has been chosen to dance cotillions with your''cave dwellers''in Washington or to compliment Senators''wives?
36412Do you think that it was an easy thing for a proud people to be in the position of old King Canute before the advancing ocean?
36412Does Mr. Brun, the Danish Minister, fear a political crisis in his own country?
36412First, I must eat my breakfast, you can jump your horses over my logs; why not?
36412Have these qualities developed only since the war?
36412Having recommended one of his charities, I was asked by a very benevolent Dane:''Are the Methodists really Christians in America?''
36412How can you say it?
36412How could a national Church remain national and become English?''
36412How could we discover what Germany''s intentions were?
36412How long would Germany be satisfied with the English and Russian predominance?
36412How were we to be sure that the Baltic and the North Sea might not, under German tutelage, attract her?
36412I said,''Excellency, will you sell your West Indian Islands?''
36412If we are to have a Secretary of Education in the cabinet of the future, why not a Secretary of the Press?
36412Is that it?''
36412Is this your opinion?''
36412It constantly asked me: What is your Government thinking about?
36412It was an arrangement, offensive and defensive, against Japan?
36412Many times before the English and Russian ships left the Sound, the question, What will the Germans do now?
36412May I have a few words with you?''
36412My secretary whispered,--''Another spy?
36412Or was it an intimation to Germany that England and Russia had their eyes on Germany?
36412Shall French ungodliness, shall Russian superstition, shall English hypocrisy rule the world?
36412Shall I pump him?''
36412Shall we build ships and keep a large army and erect fortresses, or simply say''Kismet''when Germany comes?
36412Some of the Danes asked''did it mean a protest against the presumed alliance between the United States and Germany?
36412The American can seldom shirk the direct question:''Is this your first post?''
36412The German propaganda?
36412The United States would cede the Philippines to Germany, to save those islands from the Yellow Peril?
36412The United States, where so many Scandinavians had found a home, what of her?
36412The great question for the Danish Government was as usual: Shall we defend ourselves?
36412The intentions of the Kaiser?
36412The most awkward question constantly put to me at Court and in society was,''But why do you lynch the black men?''
36412The same formula was used until the_ chargés d''affaires_, who always ended the list, were reached:''How long have you been in Copenhagen?''
36412The vicegerent of the Teutonic God?
36412To my mind there were three questions of great importance for us: How could we, with self- respect, keep on good terms with Russia?
36412Was an alliance to be made between the two great nations?
36412Was it a threat?
36412Was not science doing wonderful things?
36412Was this a similar case?
36412Was this jocose?
36412Were we afraid of the Kaiser?
36412What can a man from one of your provincial towns know of anything but local politics and business?''
36412What can one make of this bigotry and Phariseeism?
36412What could be more pacific?
36412What did it mean?
36412What did the visit of the squadron to Kiel mean?
36412What else could they do?
36412What have you to do with the Teuton and Slavic quarrel?
36412What matter?
36412What more did she want?
36412What of him?''
36412What were the German military plans?
36412What were the social conditions in Germany?
36412What would become of our Monroe Doctrine?''
36412What, in the Twentieth Century?--the best of all possible centuries?
36412When would the Germans attack?
36412Where did England come in?
36412Who cares whether Bulgaria respects us or not?
36412Who has a larger audience than Münsterberg?
36412Why do not the Christian Germans protest?
36412Why do you enter it?
36412Why not one of our imperial sons for the crude Republic which had helped Mexico in the old, blind days to eject Maximilian?
36412Why not?
36412Why?
36412Why?''
36412Will the President''s preoccupations prevent him from considering the question of the purchase?
36412Will they disappear after the war?
36412Would I sound His Royal Highness?
36412Would you believe it?
36412You know his_ Life_?''
36412You will give me a day or two?''
36412_ Is n''t_ he charming?''
2115''Well, and if they did, they? 2115 A few days before her death,--perhaps some attendant sorrowfully asking,''Can we do nothing, then?''
2115An invasion of Bohemia, will not that astonish Prince Karl; and bring him to his Rhine- Bridges again? 2115 Are the Saxons enemies; are they friends?
2115But how, then,persists Valori;"but--?"
2115By what points the Austrian- Saxon Armament will come through upon us? 2115 Insulting; how, your Excellency?"
2115Intending to block us out from Schatzlar? 2115 King of Poland, thinks your Majesty?"
2115Let the King of France crown his glories by the Siege of Freyburg, the conquest of Brisgau:--for behoof of the poor Kaiser, do n''t you observe? 2115 Rapidity is indispensable,--and yet how quit Tabor?
2115Sire, will not you dispute the Passes, then?
2115WAS THUTS? 2115 Well; but why not attack, then, with your ferocity?"
2115''And we can not pass through this moor skirt of Lausitz, say you, then?''
2115''If now Stockstadt were suddenly snatched by us,''thinks Karl;--''if a few pontoons were nimbly swung in?''
2115''Prisoner, are not you?''
2115''Push to the left, over the Hochwald top, must not we?''
2115''QUE VOULEZ- VOUS DONC?''
2115''Seckendorf, increased in this munificent manner, can he still do nothing?''
2115''What share?''
2115''Who ever saw such positions, your Majesty?''
2115--''And us at the gates of Vienna,''answered I promptly,''with the same indifference?''
2115--On hearing of the Peace of Fussen, perhaps a day or so later, Friedrich again writes:--"APRIL[ no distinct date; Neisse still?
2115--So that there is not the least prospect of peace here?
2115--and even gets into FROIDES PLAISANTERIES:''Perhaps the Marechal did it himself?
2115--and questions arise innumerable thereupon, Will France go into electioneering again?
2115... Peace of Fussen, Bavaria turned against me?
2115169("Your illustrious''Column,''at Fontenoy?
2115248 n.] What"that May Eleventh"is or was?
2115A winter march of 150 miles;--but what, say the spies, is to hinder?
2115A young Countess Flemming( daughter of old Feldmarschall Flemming) doubtless there might be, who presented him a flute; but as to HIS FIRST flute--?
2115Aback, too indisputably, all!--"And Belleisle''s Accident?"
2115After which fine feat, salvatory to the Cause of Liberty, and destructive to French influence, what is to prevent his election to the Kaisership?
2115Alas, we are to stand a fourth siege, then?
2115And little Bruhl''s late insolence; Bruhl''s evident belief that"we are finished( AUX ABOIS)"?
2115And of the JENKINS''S- EAR question, generous England will say nothing?
2115And that is the good we have got of the sublime Austrian Alliance; and that is the pass our grand scheme of Partitioning Prussia has come to?
2115And we must now say, Silesia or Prag?
2115Are not we conquering Hither Austria here, for the Kaiser''s behoof?"
2115Are we never to have any good of our life, then( NE DOIS- JE DONC JAMAIS JOUIR)?
2115At nine, Bruhl himself arrives, for Privy Council:''What is your Majesty pleased to think on these points of current business?''
2115At the first gleam of dawn, as they are shoving down their pontoon boats, there comes a"WER- DA, Who goes?"
2115August the Strong, where is he; and his famous Three Hundred and Fifty- four, Enchantress Orzelska and the others, where are they?
2115Better be vigilant, Prince Leopold!--Grune, lying at Gera yonder, is not intending for Prince Karl, then?
2115Britannic George, though Purseholder, what is his success here?
2115But what help?
2115But what shall we say?
2115But where are provisions to be had?
2115But, after all, what could Seckendorf do?
2115Coming to take us on the right flank here; to attack our Camp by surprise: will crush us northward through the defiles, and trample us down in detail?
2115Consider farther: the Imperial dignity, is it compatible with the fatal deprivation of Silesia?
2115Could not one, by good methods, make friends with his Polish Majesty?"
2115Does not England love the Cause of Liberty?
2115Duchy of Glogau; some small paring of Silesia, wo n''t your Majesty?''
2115For the rest, the Bavarian question; and very specially, Who the new Emperor is to be?
2115Forward; steady: can I doubt but you will acquit yourselves like Prussian men?"
2115French sitting well on Prince Karl''s skirts?
2115Friedrich has still his hopes of Bavaria, so grandiloquent are the French in regard to it; who but would hope?
2115Had the Saxons stood still, steadily handling arms, how, on such terms, could the Prussians ever have managed it?
2115Had your Majesty forgotten the Joint- Stock Principle, then?
2115Has not England money, then?
2115His battle- lines torn in two in that manner, hovering in ragged clouds over the field, what hope is there in the Battle?
2115His speech seemed very like that of an Irishman; very sly[ how did you know, my poor friend?
2115How shall he make some impression on the Siege of Tournay?
2115How to smooth the King of Prussia, and turn him to harmony again?
2115How we are to maintain ourselves in this country?
2115If old Marshal Wade, at the other end of the line, should chance to awaken and press home on Saxe, and his remnant of French, with right vigor?
2115If we stay near Prag, what becomes of our communication with Silesia; what becomes of Silesia itself?
2115Is he entitled to exchange by cartel, or not entitled?''
2115Is not this a bit of modern chivalry?
2115Is not this the Kaiser''s Order?
2115Kur- Sachsen, the Polish Majesty again?
2115Meaning what?
2115Means to cut us off from Prag, then, which is our fountain of life in these circumstances?
2115On Thursday, 3d June: Do you notice that cloud of dust rising among the peaks over yonder?
2115On the morrow, 5 A.M., what is this that is going on?
2115Or perhaps the fatal alternative will not actually arrive?
2115Or some- whither to find fat winter- quarters: who knows?
2115Or will they perhaps make an attempt on Prag?
2115Or will they retreat without attempting mischief?
2115Or, better still, Would not perhaps the Saxons, in this humiliated state, accept Peace, and finish the matter?
2115Peace with George the Purseholder, does not that mean Peace with all the others?
2115Peace with Prussia, what good could it do at present?''
2115Perhaps nothing will follow; next to nothing?
2115Poor old Wade, last year,--perhaps Wade did suffer, as he alleged, from"want of sufficient authority in that mixed Army"?
2115Prince Karl, you would certainly say, has gone into winter- quarters; about Konigsgratz, and farther on?
2115Question now is, How will it stand with the Old Dessauer and his part?
2115Reinstated Chateauroux: but this time, poor creature, she continued only about a day:--"Sudden fever, from excitement,"said the Doctors:"Fever?
2115Reverence, sacred Respect for Human Worth, sacred Abhorrence of Human Unworth, have you considered what it means?
2115Robinson and the English seem not to be enthusiastic in that direction; as indeed how can they?
2115SAME LETTER, OR ANOTHER?
2115Saxons from the Lausitz, Austrians from Bohmen, enclosing us between two fires?"
2115Silesia and no afterthought?
2115Silesia, which was NOT yours nor ever shall be?
2115So long as Pardubitz and Kolin hold; and we have the Elbe for barrier?
2115Such is the rumor,--perhaps only a rumor, in mockery of the hebetated old gentleman fallen unlucky?
2115Surely, Monseigneur, only a man ignorant of war, or with treasonous intention[ or ill- off for victuals],--could post troops in that way?
2115Tallard, prisoner after Blenheim, made PEACE, you know, in England?''
2115That famed Middle- Rhine Army has gone to the-- what shall we say?
2115That second plan would have been the wisest:--then why not, follow it?
2115The Sazawa- Luschnitz tract of Country is quite lost, then; lost with damages: the question now is, Can we keep the Sazawa- Elbe tract?
2115The question now is, Will Saxony assist Austria in invading Silesia, with or without Britannic subsidy?
2115The traitor Seckendorf had made such a choice of posts,--left unaltered by Drum Thorring;--what could French valor do?
2115Then perhaps towards Saxony, to reinforce the Saxons?
2115This also is a thing to be amended, a thing you had to learn, your Majesty?
2115This will do, wo n''t it?"
2115Three Currents instinct with fire and destruction, but as yet quite opaque; which have been launched,--whitherward thinks the reader?
2115To leave them to the Tolpaches?
2115To winter in these towns between the Sazawa and the Luschnitz?
2115To- morrow;--well, to- morrow?
2115Together will it be, or separately?
2115Valori sees the King; finds him, as expected, the fac- simile of Bruhl in this matter; Jesuit Guarini the like: how otherwise?
2115Valori, horror- struck at such Peace, what shall he do to prevent it, to retard it?
2115Valori, so seldom spoken to, is lodged in a suburb there:''Had not you better go into the town itself?''
2115Very dear to the hearts of these poor people;--and to their purses, interests and skins, has not he in another sense been dear?
2115Was that our bargain?''
2115What are we, poor human atoms, to get up projects that cost so much blood?
2115What can Valori expect, on this heroic occasion, from such a King?
2115What had become of us pacific?
2115What to do?
2115What will France do with HIM; what he with France?
2115What will become of poor pacific mortals hereabouts?
2115White flag accordingly( Tuesday, 15th):"Free withdrawal, to the Wischerad; wo n''t you?"
2115Whom can the French try as Candidate against the Grand- Duke?
2115Why Populations suffer for their guilty Kings?
2115Why not?
2115With Austria, with Saxony, Britannic Majesty has been entirely unsuccessful:--"May not Sohr, perhaps, be a fresh persuasive?"
2115With a Konigseck to dry- nurse him, may not Royal Highness, luck favoring, do very well?
2115Would you have a Nation live forever that is content to be governed by Bruhls?
2115You will let him keep his own henceforth, then, will you?
2115[ MILITARY INSTRUCTIONS?
2115asks Valori, amazed:"Not defend your Mountain rampart, then?"
2115thinks Friedrich sadly to himself: but what is Prag and artillery, compared to Silesia?
2115with that hill, that brook, that bit of bog?''
36820An''what_ can_ I do?
36820And the Brahman Adhar?
36820And what for, then?
36820And what have ye in the house, Biddy, honey?
36820And where''s the man of the house? 36820 And will I see him again?"
36820But what''s come of Barny? 36820 For what,"thought he,"have I sold myself?
36820He knows all, then?
36820In troth, then, my heart is sorry for ye, poor woman,he replied, compassionately;"and what will ye do?"
36820Is he your husband?
36820Musha, then, have ye nothing to give a poor ould woman?
36820My child,said she, in a tone of reproof,"dost thou yet linger here, and the auspicious moment almost past?
36820What is it then ails ye?
36820Where are they, is it? 36820 Yes, sir,"says I, making a curtsy, for I could n''t do no less when he spoke so civil; and says he,"Is there an honest cobbler as lives here?"
36820_ Dead?_ O merciful Allah! 36820 (_ Gives them._) MARGERY--(_examining the shoes._) But, Dick, is n''t that some''at extortionate, as a body may say? 36820 (_ He works with great energy, and sings at the same time with equal enthusiasm._) Can not ye do as I do? 36820 (_ She goes out._) DICK--(_calling after her._) And come back soon, d''ye hear? 36820 (_ She shakes her head._) What, you wo n''t then? 36820 (_ She whispers JUSTINE, who goes out._)(_ To DICK._) Can I do any thing to serve you? 36820 --he grasped her supplicating hands,--say but the word-- are you a wife?"
36820A lady?
36820A noise, eh?
36820And folks says to me,"Pray, who is that pretty modest young woman as hops over the ground as light as a feather?"
36820And his answer was, that he would sing in spite of me, and louder than ever?
36820And now, what shall I say more?
36820And says he,"Do you belong to this here house?"
36820And where''s the lad, Barny?"
36820And why should it_ not_ be so?
36820And you are happy?
36820Ay, I seed her; and a most beautiful lady she is, and she sends her sarvice to you?
36820Ay, Meg, but I''ll keep this, do ye mind?
36820But suppose I have n''t got it?
36820But we''ve never done no harm to nobody in our whole lives, so what is there to be afraid of?
36820But what matter for that?"
36820But what''s the matter?
36820But what, Dick?
36820But while Sarma was thus absorbed in holy abstraction, where were Govinda and Amrà  ?
36820Can not ye do as I do?
36820Comment donc-- ce Monsieur Dick, fait aussi des complimens à   Madame?
36820DICK--(_chinks the money._) Do ye hear that?
36820DICK--(_hesitating._) But-- a-- a-- Meg, you''ll come with me, wo n''t you, and just see me safe in at the door, eh?
36820DICK--(_scratching his head._) What shilling?
36820Did ever any human being escape more_ intacte_ in person and mind from the fiery furnace of popular admiration?
36820Did you see the lady herself?
36820Faithfully did she perform the part in life which she believed allotted to her; and who may presume to judge that she did not choose the better part?"
36820For what is the word of the Great King pledged to me?
36820Halloran, who was of a fiery and hasty temper, began angrily:"Why, then, in the name of the great devil himself, did n''t you open to us?"
36820Hang it, who''s afraid?
36820Has he not sworn to refuse me nothing?
36820Has the most high God confined the knowledge of his attributes to the Brahmans alone, and hidden his face from the rest of his creatures?
36820Have they sent for him?
36820How shall we manage then?
36820I must go to market--(_putting on her shawl and bonnet._) What would you like to have for dinner, Dick, love?
36820I''m sure I''m much obliged-- but what did she say to you?
36820If ever there were beauty, which could disdain the aid of ornament, is it not that of Amrà  ?
36820If ever there were purity, truth, and goodness, which could defy the powers of evil, are they not thine?
36820Is it not so?"
36820Is there nothing in all this to countervail the dangers, the evils, and the vicissitudes attendant on this splendid and public exercise of talent?
36820It ca n''t cost your ladyship much in shoe leather, I guess?
36820It was the peculiar manner with which she uttered the words--"Are you at leisure, holy father, now?
36820JUSTINE--(_goes and returns._) Madame, c''est justement notre homme, voulez- vous qu''il entre?
36820Justine, did you send the butler over to request civilly that he would not disturb me in the morning?
36820LADY AMARANTHE--(_graciously._) Are you married?
36820LADY AMARANTHE--(_surprised._) Then you did not tell my servant that you would sing louder than ever, in spite of me?
36820LADY AMARANTHE--(_with increasing interest._) Have you any children?
36820MARGERY--(_passionately._) Why, if you come to that, who''s the mistress here, I say?
36820MARGERY--(_timidly._) Five shillings, perhaps, eh?
36820MARGERY--(_whimpering._) Oh, Dick, what in the world has come to you?
36820MARGERY--(_wiping her eyes._) And did you see the lady?
36820Me repent?
36820Me, my Lady?
36820Now I think seven- pence would be enough in all conscience-- what do you say?
36820Now what are the bravos of a whole theatre,"When all the thunder of the pit ascends,"compared to such praise as this?
36820Of what, Dick?
36820Or shall I come to you at evening mass?"
36820Perhaps you are not the same Mr. Dick?
36820Robbed of what?
36820Shall I live to look upon a race of outcasts, abhorred on earth and excommunicate from heaven, and say,''These are the offspring of Sarma?''
36820Shall I take it back to the lady, and give our duty to her, and tell her we do n''t want her guineas, shall I, Meg?
36820Shall the young spirit"dampt by the necessity of oblivion"disdain what is attainable because it can not grasp all?
36820So says I,"Hark''ee, Mr. Scrape- trencher, there go words to that bargain: what right have you to go for to speak in that there way to me?"
36820Stay; you are not then the rude uncivil person I was told of?
36820The first represents the action which accompanied the line--"By whose direction found''st thou out this place?"
36820The grip of hunger''s hard to bear; and if she had n''t taken it then, where would I have been now?
36820The scene in which the lovers part, called the Garden Scene, follows; and the passage selected is--"Art thou gone so?
36820The sons of Brahma are excellently virtuous, but are all the rest of mankind vicious?
36820This is strange; or is there some mistake?
36820Was she, while absorbed in her poetical, ideal existence, the dupe of exterior shows in judging of character?
36820Well, and then?
36820What noise is that?
36820What shall we do?
36820What the mischief can a lady want with me?
36820What to him were the stars, or the flowers, or the moon rising in dewy splendour?
36820What''s the matter?
36820What, to waste it all in woman''s nonsense and frippery?
36820Where should they be?
36820Where, then, is his justice?
36820Why then should Govinda be sad?"
36820Why, Meg, I did n''t hurt you, did I?
36820Why, where''s the use of money but to spend?
36820Will you go to bed, sweetheart?
36820Wilt thou see me perish without pity, O son of my people?
36820Wo n''t you forgive your own dear Dick, wo n''t you?
36820Would you love me better, Meg, if I were a master shoemaker?
36820You know all, and have come to save me-- to bless me?
36820You live in the small house over the way, I think?
36820You love her then?
36820a nice rasher of bacon, by way of a relish?
36820and I hesitate?
36820and how do you live?
36820and is there no place hereby where they would give a potatoe and a cup of cowld water to a poor old woman ready to drop on her road?"
36820and more, did n''t she take the bit out of her own mouth to put into mine?"
36820and so no more talk of dying; cheer up, and see, a mile farther on, is n''t there Biddy Hogan''s?
36820and turn up your nose like Mrs. Pinchtoe?
36820and what for, pray?
36820and who knows, Nancy dear, but they''ll let me go out with him to the foreign parts?
36820comme il sent le cuir, n''est- ce pas, madame?
36820do ye mind Grace Power, and the last words ever she spoke to ye?"
36820flummery!--But, Meg, I say, how did you like the wedding yesterday?
36820he exclaimed,"what is now to be my fate?
36820he said, after a breathless pause;"when?
36820how would you feed them?
36820keep it all to yourself?--No, you wo n''t; an''t I your wife, and have n''t I a right?
36820my love, my lord, my friend?
36820replied Cathleen, disconsolately;"and how will I even find the ford and get across to Cork, when I do n''t know where I am this blessed moment?"
36820said he at length;"is it thus our imperial decrees are obeyed?"
36820shall I, dear heart?
36820shall I?
36820shall we be braved on our throne by these insolent and contumacious priests?
36820that was the reason, then, that you bawled so in my ear, and frightened me out of my sleep-- was it?
36820the chief pain?
36820the dearest pleasure?
36820the greatest wickedness?
36820the highest good?
36820the severest punishment?
36820thundered the monk:"will ye suffer this woman to steal two precious souls from heaven?--two members from our community?
36820to whom?
36820what a fine purse!--Is there any thing in it?
36820what are they in such a moment?
36820what did they say to you?
36820what have I to do with thee?
36820what''s the matter now?
36820what_ can_ a lady have to say to me, I wonder?
36820where have you been?
36820where his all- embracing mercy?"
36820who cares?
36820who could help it?
36820who did you see?
36820who is the possessor of a gem of such exceeding price, and yet forbears to claim it?"
36820who knows?
36820whom dost thou behold?"
36820why do n''t you speak to me, Dick, love?
36820why do n''t you speak?
36820you do n''t mean for to say that the last shilling that you put in your pocket, just to make a show, is gone?
36820you do not mean to say you wish for them, and have scarce enough for yourselves?
36820you will?--You sha n''t; who''s the master here, I say?
36818And what,I asked,"did the Empress say to you?"
36818And what,said I,"was your answer?"
36818Did you ever feel fear?
36818Do you ask for bread?
36818Do you call it a fine country?
36818Do you not see my brother standing there?
36818Qui me delivrera des Grecs et des Remains?
36818To be sure I do; and where would you see a finer?
36818Who are you?
36818Yes,she replied;"you are his excellency the minister C----; but what of that?
36818_ No._Did she regard Henri as her affianced husband?
36818_ Yes._Was she a Christian?
36818--who will deliver me from gods and goddesses, and from all these"Repetitions, wearisome of sense, Where soul is dead, and feeling hath no place?"
36818According to his distinction, would not the group of the Niobe belong to the age of perfection?--and the Parthenon to the philosophic age?
36818After all this eulogium, which I believe to be just, tell me frankly, were you satisfied yourself?
36818Alone?
36818And does this prohibition avail much in a population of sixty thousand persons?
36818And has it not?
36818And have none of these motives produced authoresses in Germany?
36818And how shall I attempt to describe it?
36818And learned to be homely-- but the result?
36818And so we are to have no"_ Sentimental Travels in Germany_"on hot- pressed paper, illustrated with views taken on the spot?
36818And who was to blame?
36818And why should we not have in sculpture a Lear as well as a Laocoon?
36818And,"lilies that fester are far worse than weeds,"so singeth the poet; but do you make the cause also the excuse?
36818Are you any relation of the Professor Henri Ambos?''
36818Art may be finite; but who shall fix its limits, and say,"thus far shalt thou go?"
36818But do you think the Germans could at all appreciate or understand such a phenomenon as Madame de Staël must have appeared in those days?
36818But have you then traced the cause and consequences of that undercurrent of opinion which is slowly but surely sapping the foundations of empires?
36818But how is the sculptor himself to live during those long years?
36818But is that all?
36818But the hospital for the infirm poor-- Das Versorgung Haus-- pleased me particularly;''tis true, that the cost was not a third-- what do I say?
36818But then what had brought her there?
36818But what were your own impressions?
36818But what, then, is the secret of the interest which these old painters inspire, of the enthusiasm they excite, even in these cultivated days?
36818But, how came this wonderful relic to Cologne, of all places in the world?
36818By what perverse destiny?--was it avarice on our part, or force or fraud on that of others?
36818Can it be possible that this glorious edifice was planned by a young prince, and erected out of his yearly savings?
36818Can you give some accurate notion of the ideas which generally prevail on this subject?
36818Can you task your sensitive mind to stand reproach and ridicule?
36818Do they not point to their literature and their institutions, as more favourable to your sex than any other?
36818Do you apply this personally?
36818Do you forget Mrs. Darner and Lady Dacre?
36818Do you forget that the cause of the thirty years war was a woman?
36818Do you know that I once overheard a well- meaning mother instructing her daughter how to be natural?
36818Do you know what you mean?
36818Do you know who I am?"
36818Do you think I did not observe and feel the contrast?
36818Does this collection of the Prince of Orange still exist at Brussels?
36818Had he indeed?
36818Had he?
36818Had then violence been used to carry her off?
36818Have I not heard you say, that it is the present fashion among the poets, artists, and writers of Germany, to defer in all things to the middle ages?
36818Have we not had a Flaxman?
36818Have you been rambling about the world for these six months-- yet learned nothing?
36818Have you decided between the different systems of Jacobi and Schelling?
36818Have you examined and noted down the routine of the_ domestic_ education of their children?
36818Have you heard the low booming of that mighty ocean which approaches, wave after wave, to break up the dikes and boundaries of ancient power?
36818He added,"They ask me often where are the models after which I worked?
36818How could I remember that all this_ had been_, and not bless the miracle- worker-- Time?
36818How far, then, may a woman be vain with a good grace and betray it without ridicule?
36818How?
36818I addressed the one who was the most beautiful, and said,''Are you Mademoiselle Emilie S----?''
36818I am afraid that I appear very stupid?
36818I asked eagerly in what character?
36818I asked her if she had ever met with insult?
36818I asked her whether she had not feared to risk the safety of her generous friend?
36818I do perfectly understand you; but, pray what are our strictly masculine privileges, that you should covet them?
36818I draw from the life,--now, what would you say to such a woman if you met with her in the world?
36818I have been asked twenty times since my return to England, whether the German women are not very_ exaltée_--very romantic?
36818I hope you are not one of these?
36818I really believe that in Germany the latter catastrophe would be in most cases inevitable; and where is the woman who knowingly would risk it?
36818I see;--but are you prepared for consequences?
36818I was at Aix- la- Chapelle, was I not?
36818I?
36818If I risk thus much, will you venture the rest?"
36818If her former journey, when hope cheered her on the way, had been so fearful, what must have been her return?
36818If you prefer slaves and playthings to companions and helpmates, is that our fault?
36818In this harsh, cold, working- day world, is half an hour''s amusement nothing?
36818In what respect is a female gambler worse than one of your sex?
36818Is it not so?
36818May one beg, or borrow them?--What is your book?
36818Me?
36818Milton, is it not?
36818Not Devrient- Schroeder?
36818Now, why should not sculpture have its Gothic( or romantic) school, as well as its antique, or classical school?
36818O when will there be charity in the world?
36818Or a Tam o''Shanter as well as a laughing Faun?
36818Or the sublime and beautiful among the frivolous and degraded of one sex, the money- making or the brutalized of the other?
36818Or, how should I, who am incapable of estimating the technical perfection of art, stand entranced-- as to- day I stood-- before the Ilioneus?
36818Perhaps for want of patronage?
36818Shall I confess to you?
36818Tell me, had you a full moon while you were on the Rhine?
36818Tell me-- did you find this prejudice entertained by the women themselves, or existing chiefly on the part of the men?
36818The case is more pitiable;--more rare-- therefore, perhaps, more shocking; but why more hateful?
36818The judge demanded whether it was by her own will that she had fled with Henri Ambos?
36818The natural question then is, what can excite so much interest in pictures, where so much is wanting to render them perfect?
36818Then I will leave you to think;--or shall I go on?
36818Then tell me, what have_ you_ brought home?
36818Then what, in Heaven''s name,_ have_ you learned?
36818Then you are of this new school, which reveals the union of faith and philosophy?
36818Then, where is truth?
36818There now!--will you not leave the picture, perfect as it is, and not for ever seek in every object something more than is there?
36818Unfortunately the first bars of the Tyrolienne brought Taglioni before my mind''s eye, and who or what could stand the comparison?
36818Very well,--and very true:--but who shall bring a rule and compass to measure the capabilities of art, and define its proper objects?
36818Was not her mode of thinking the fashion of her time, the effect of her education?
36818Was not this a fearful contrast?
36818Well, to descend to your own peculiar sphere, have you satisfied yourself as to the moral and social position of the women in Germany?
36818What can they know of what is to be known?
36818What do they endure of what is to be endured?
36818What do they see of all that is to be seen?
36818What has become of him?''
36818What more at Brussels?
36818What next?
36818What shall I say of them?
36818When will human beings, women especially, show mercy and justice to each other, and not judge of results, without a reference to causes?
36818Where shall I begin?
36818Where, but at the beginning?
36818Which Dannecker declined?
36818Which has the most enjoyment?
36818Who are now the principal sculptors in Germany?
36818Who had"Put in her tender heart the aspiring flame Of golden sovereignty?"
36818Why do you lay such an emphasis upon_ female_ gambler?
36818Why would Canova give us for the head of Dante''s Beatrice that of a muse, or an Aspasia?
36818Will you not allow that they worked in a different spirit?
36818Yet in all alike, is it not the intense feeling of life and individual nature which charms, which fixes us?
36818Yet in this last journey you had an object-- a purpose?
36818Yet was it my fault that I remembered in the same part the syren Sontag, and the enchantress Malibran?
36818You allude to Elizabeth of Bohemia, who was to Heidelberg what Helen was to Troy?
36818You do not mean-- you will not tell me-- that with all your love of music, you were insensible to the miraculous powers of that man?
36818You do not suppose that, with all my Gothic tastes, I am such a Goth as not to feel the truth of what you say?
36818You pause?--you have nothing to say of Cologne?
36818You perhaps recollect her in England when only Duchess of Oldenburg?
36818You remember Michael Angelo''s statue of Christ in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva at Rome?
36818You visited, of course, Schamp''s collection?
36818You would plead then for a_ female_ gambler?
36818Your first journey was one of mere amusement?
36818[ 27]--Why do you smile?
36818[ 6] Was not this admirable?
36818a Constance as well as a Niobe?
36818all this emotion for Goethe?
36818and for Petrarch''s Laura, a mere_ tête de nymphe_?
36818and when will reflection upon these causes lead to their removal?
36818and why should not criticism have its telescope for truth, as well as its microscope for error?
36818and yet, who but the Being above us all, can know what is resisted?
36818for that of the Elector of Saxony--"Shall I leave my good Emperor?"
36818have you not seen it?
36818is that nothing?
36818said Frederic, sternly;"you, who have wasted the fruits of the earth, and destroyed those whose industry cultivates it?
36818said the emperor, astonished;"and what can I do for you?"
36818that this alone, of all the fine arts, is to belong to some peculiar mode of existence, some peculiar mode of thinking, feeling, and believing?
36818was not he a poet?
36818where is Dannecker?''
2118All bad as Poetry, those Verses?
2118Attacked, you?
2118Burn the Suburbs?
2118Defend? 2118 Have not I reconquered Silesia?"
2118How is this?
2118I am sorry indeed to hear that!--Were there Generals too in your house? 2118 MY DEAREST SISTER,--What is the good of philosophy unless one employ it in the disagreeable moments of life?
2118Neutrality to Hanover?
2118No, you are an honest man:--probably a Protestant?
2118On the Height beyond Neumarkt, that will be?
2118Or else?
2118Recapture of Silesia?
2118Rest:--and Daun, coming on with 30,000 of reinforcement to them, might arrive this night? 2118 Send to Kur- Mainz say you?
2118Shall not we reap, then, where there is such a harvest standing white to us?
2118Shall we order that to cease, your Majesty?
2118Should you have known me again?
2118Swedes, what are they?
2118To see the--what shall we call it: seat of honor, in fact,"of your enemy:"has it not an undeniable charm?
2118Well, children, how think you it will be to- morrow? 2118 What IS all that?"
2118What could I do? 2118 What does or can he mean, then?"
2118What is Friedrich? 2118 What is to hinder you from starving them into surrender?"
2118What made thee desert, then?
2118What sound is that?
2118When got you rid of your high guests?
2118Who are you?
2118Why not spare me a small English squadron, and blow these away?
2118Why not unite with the Swedes and take Stettin( the finest harbor in the Baltic), which would bring Russia, by ships, to your very hand?
2118Why not, if we do our duty at all, annihilate his trifle of an Army; take himself prisoner, and so end it?
2118You are dead, sirrah,said Daun;"hoisted to the highest gallows: Are not you?
2118''Again nominated, why again?''
2118''Do n''t I?''
2118''Making for Hanover?''
2118''SI UN ALLEMAND PEUT AVOIR DE L''ESPRIT( Can a German possibly have sharpness of wits)?''
2118''What did he die of?''
2118''What of that?''
2118( Where the 103 pieces of my own are, and my 27 flags, and my Army- chest and sundries?
2118--"GLAUBT ER DIES, Do you think so?"
2118--"Well, and if he do?
2118--''Why rage the Heathen; why do the people imagine a vain thing?
2118--Heavy billeting; but what was that?...
2118167, 168,?
211850);& c.& c.] and not leave Austria by itself to do the duel with Friedrich?
2118A longish, almost straight row of young Prussian recruits stretched among the slain, what are these?
2118Alas, my friends, what could Xavier probably avail, the foolish fellow, with only three regiments?
2118An eye- sorrow, they, with their commerce, their weavings and industryings, to Austrian Papists, who can not weave or trade?"
2118And did you ever see such horses, such splendor of equipment, regardless of expense?
2118And where is it said, that Brutus and Cato should carry magnanimity farther than Princes and Kings?
2118And, alas, withal, how is it possible, with that America hanging over us?"
2118And, in fact, the second man of these poor fellows did die there?
2118As I was on foot, and none of my people now near, he bade give me his led horse which he still had[ and sent me home for surgery?
2118As when( June 9th) he personally visits Balbi''s parallels( top of the Tafelberg yonder); and inquires,''When do you calculate to get done, then?''
2118Attack to be in this point?"
2118Be assaulted by an Army like his?"
2118Better than two pitched battles gained: who shall say?
2118Bring the war into our own borders?
2118But does your Eminency take notice how high my connections are; what service a poor obscure creature might perhaps do the State some day?"
2118But how help it?
2118But if they are gone to St. Vitus, and fail in every point, what can one do?
2118But is that the example for me to follow?
2118But the answer was-- what could the answer be?
2118But the noise grew louder, and came ever nearer; I turned my guns towards it[ southward, southeastward, or perhaps a gun each way?]
2118But there is no crossing of the Mutzel, there is only drowning in the quagmires there:--death any way; what can be done but die?
2118But with regiments jammed in this astonishing way, and got collectively into the lion''s throat, what can be done?
2118But, indeed, what other shift has he,"considers Daun,"but to try rallying at Glogau yonder, safe under the guns?"
2118Can this be the same Army that Royal Highness led to the Sea and the Parish Pound?
2118Carteret, at this crisis, was again applied to,''Can not you?
2118Continually southward, as if for Tamsel:--poor old Tamsel, do readers recollect it at all, does Friedrich at all?
2118Dangerous, serving Citatio in that quarter: and by what art try to smuggle it into the hands of such a one?
2118Daun ought to be far on with the conquest of that Country?
2118Daun, that morning, in his reconnoitrings, had asked of a peasant,"What is that, then?"
2118Dinner, up in the Schloss, is just being taken from the spit, and the swashing at its height, when--''Hah what is that, though?''
2118Double or quits, that is our game: can we yield for a little ill- luck?
2118FOX to Pitt:''Will you join ME?''
2118Feasible perhaps:"but straightway?"
2118Fermor, in the evening, said to his Artillery People:"Why have you ceased to fire grenadoes?"
2118For you, when I reflect that you are Prussians, can I think that you will act unworthily?
2118Friedrich sometimes remonstrates:"Can not you spare such phraseology, unseemly to Kings?
2118Furious, and strenuous, it is not doubted, on this Friedrich''s part: but against such odds, what can he do?
2118Half a mile behind Krzeczhorz( let us write it Kreczor, for the future: what can we do?
2118He is down reconnoitring his end of the Bridge: sha''n''t I, then?"
2118His Prussians at Zittau, at Moys, at Breslau in the new Malplaquet, were we beaten by them?
2118His men have been on foot since midnight, and on forced marches for days past: were it not better to rest for this one day?
2118How Prince Karl came to expose his Bakery, his staff of life so far ahead of him?
2118How can a Prince survive his State, the glory of his Country, his own reputation?
2118How could I know?"
2118I fired off my cannons[ shall we say straight southward?]
2118I struggled to my feet, as fast as, for weakness, I possibly could; and got up to our confused mass[ CONFUSEN KLUMPEN,--exact place, where?
2118If outrage irritates even cowards, what will it do to hearts that have courage?
2118If peradventure he can take Custrin without proper siege- artillery, in the Oczakow or Anti- Turk way?
2118If the carrying of meal so far be difficult what will the carrying of siege- furniture be?
2118If you learn that a misfortune happens to one of us, ask,''Did he die fighting?''
2118In behalf of an afflicted old King?''
2118In vain, or nearly so, is Friedrich''s tactic or manoeuvring talent; what now is there to manoeuvre?
2118Is Liberty, that precious prerogative, to be less dear to a Sovereign in the eighteenth century than it was to Roman Patricians of old?
2118Is it for you to bend under worn- out notions of justice, right?
2118Is there new order come?
2118Meanwhile, is it not remarkable that Friedrich wrote more Verses, this Autumn, than almost in any other three months of his life?
2118Nay, before the passage was complete-- what light- horse squadrons are these?
2118Nay, perhaps my Rhine- Bridge itself, and the small Party left there?''
2118No man is willing for the operation, most men shudder at it; but who can help them?
2118Nobler fire, when did it burn in any Army?
2118November 5th is a day unforgettable: but anterior to that, what can we do?
2118One asks only: How is the business ever to be done, if you can not even settle what imbecile is to go and try it?
2118One moment of practical happiness is worth a thousand years of imaginary in such Temple.--Is the lot of high people so very sweet, then?
2118One of Four; to the Four most deserving: Schwerin( 1771), Winterfeld( 1777), Seidlitz( 1779, Keith( when?
2118Or perhaps Friedrich now judged it immaterial, and a question only of hours?
2118Or perhaps there never seriously was such a plan?
2118Perhaps only cautious of getting into a general action for what was intrinsically nothing?
2118Pitt sulkily looking on America, on Minorca; on things German, on things in general; warily set on returning, as is thought; but How?
2118Prisoners?"
2118Push home upon him, as united Posse Comitatus of Mankind; in a sacred cause of Polish Majesty and Public Justice, how can one malefactor resist?
2118Quaggy Zaberngrund,--do readers remember it; one of those"Three continuous Leakages,"very important, to Fermor and us at present?
2118Riding up the line, all now grown dusky, Friedrich asks,"Any battalion a mind to follow me to Lissa?"
2118Ruler''s Work,--policy, administration, governance, guidance, performance in any kind,--where is it to be found?
2118Runs to the Duke of Cumberland at Stade; thence to Richelieu at Zeven; back to the Duke, back to Zeven:''Wo n''t you; and wo n''t YOU?''
2118Shall I write to Collini on it?
2118Shall we follow Moritz and Bevern?"
2118Some of the more veteran sort asked, ruggedly confidential, as well as loyal:"What is thy news, then, so late?"
2118Stiff dispute; and had the Austrians possessed the Prussian dexterity in manoeuvring, and a Friedrich been among them,--perhaps?
2118Straight upon Zittau?"
2118Such a Problem has this King: soluble within the time; or not soluble?
2118The Anecdote- Books( perhaps not mythically) add this:"Where are all your guns, though?"
2118The Russians, beaten to fragments, would not run: whither run?
2118The poor Prince takes post on what Heights there are, on his own side of the Neisse; looks wistfully down upon Zittau, asking How?
2118The quarrels of Kings have to be decided by the sword; what profit in unseemly language, Madam?"
2118There were twirls of that kind in Friedrich; intricate weak places; knots in the sound straight- fibred mind he had( as in whose mind are they not?
2118They have got the Eckart''s Hill, which commands Zittau:--and how to get into Zittau and our magazines, and how to subsist if we were in?
2118They were talking of Shakspeare:''Genial, if you will,''said Gottsched,''but the Laws of Aristotle; Five Acts, unities strict!''--''Aristotle?
2118They, and the force they still had in Lissa, could easily have taken him: but how could they know?
2118This, it was afterwards surmised, had been a feint on Friedrich''s part; to give the Austrians pleasant thoughts:''Invading us, is he?
2118To dictate peace from the walls of Vienna: that lay on the cards for him this morning; and at night--?
2118To which Bevern replies,"Excellent, truly; but how?"
2118Unhappily they did not arrive, or not in due quantity at the set time,--for what reason, by what strange mistake?
2118Was it ever seen before, that three great Princes laid plot in concert to destroy a Fourth, who had done nothing against them?
2118Was it here while waiting about Meissen, or where was it, that Daun got his Letter to Fermor answered in that singular way?
2118We are not to have our Pandourade, then?"
2118We are on the Breslau Great Road, that goes through Lissa, are n''t we?"
2118What a sight for Friedrich:"Big game SHALL be played, then; death sure, this day, to thousands of men: and to me--?
2118What can a Polish Majesty and Electoral Translucency do?
2118What else?"
2118What is to become of those poor people, if not even a Lord Loudon can get out?"
2118What is to hinder a man from making his Tragedy in Ten acts, if it suit him better?''
2118What said they?
2118When was there seen such a Bellona as Dauphiness before?
2118Which was the idea in London, too:"Do n''t we, by Apocalyptic Newswriters and eyesight of our own, understand the man?"
2118Who could express that in German with such melody?''
2118Whose IS that blood but thine?
2118Why not; were the"Deliverance of Saxony"complete?
2118Will readers take a touch more of the DRILL- SERGEANT?
2118Will the reader consent to their Dialogue, which is dullish, but singular to have in an authentic form, with Nicolai as voucher?
2118Winterfeld was by no means universally liked; as what brave man is or can be?
2118Would the reader wish to see, in summary, what Pitt''s Offices have been, since he entered on this career about thirty years ago?
2118Yes; and is there nothing to account of Pirna, and the later scores?

2118and will Sovereigns, who maintain these tribunals and these laws in their States, give such example to their subjects?...
2118answered they.--"But think only where they stand yonder, and how they have intrenched themselves?"
2118asked he sharply of Retzow senior, who had broken through his order, one day, to avert great mischief:"How come you here, MON GENERAL?"
2118asked somebody( might be Deblin the Shoemaker, for anything I know) of an Austrian sentry there:"That?
2118coming round upon Bohemia from the east, then?"
2118said he, with a gay tone, stepping in:"Is there still room left, think you?"
2118say the Russians:"Russians what?"
2118sighed Britannic Majesty:"Alas, am not I pledged by Treaty?

2118you would everybody sacrifice his life for the State, and you would not have your Brothers give the example?
29167''What?'' 29167 , in the German fashion,"_ How art thou?_"To princes and princesses that are in disgrace, this momentous question is put only once.
29167A loving cup?
29167Afraid?
29167Afraid?
29167Am I one of those beneath Your Imperial Highness?
29167And sold that knowledge?
29167And the mere surmise prompted you to blab to my husband, arouse his suspicions?
29167And they give names?
29167And would you go with me to the end of the earth, as the story books put it?
29167And you think me ninny enough to be satisfied with reading no more than what you consider proper for me to see?
29167And you will always love me?
29167Antedate your papers,I advised,"who dare dispute the king?
29167Anyhow, who gave you permission to read such rotten stuff as this at our court?
29167Are n''t you coming along, Frederick Augustus?
29167Are you stark, staring mad?
29167Bernhardt,I said,"why do n''t you marry?"
29167Brighton,he repeated,"and where will you get the spondulicks?"
29167But how is baby?
29167But the responsibility?
29167But why am I acclaimed whenever I show myself?
29167But why did you make a beast of yourself?
29167But why did you say you are no Cosel?
29167But why this masquerade?
29167Decide quickly: are you going to make King George a present of yourself as well as of the five children you bore for the benefit of the Wettiners?
29167Did Baumann tell you that I offered to accept divorce if it pleases the King?
29167Did n''t he hit me in_ the eats_?
29167Did you command the_ Daumont_ coach- and- four to meet us at the station?
29167Did you tell His Majesty?
29167Do you blame me?
29167Do you know this?
29167Do you know this?
29167Do you really suppose,replied Frederick Augustus,"that I''ll court royal displeasure for the sake of those Jew- scribblers?
29167Does your husband know about your interference for that rake?
29167Frederick Augustus,I will say to him,"now that we are King and Queen, let''s enjoy to the full the thing''s emoluments; otherwise, what''s the use?
29167Good gracious,I said to Her Majesty,"is that all?
29167Good heavens,he cried,"have n''t I the right to be jealous?
29167Have you ever seen my Diary?
29167His Majesty''s own words?
29167How can one lay by for a rainy day when one has n''t got anything?
29167How could I help it? 29167 How do they know that I am not on good terms with the King?"
29167How do you know I keep a Diary?
29167How much did you pay for my blue car?
29167How much have they found out?
29167How much?
29167Is it any business of mine to support my relatives''mistresses?
29167Is that all they say about me?
29167Is that so?
29167It''s creditors, mere creditors bothering you?
29167Kettledrums?
29167Louise,he mumbled reproachfully,--"what will his Majesty say?"
29167Marry, marry, why always marry?
29167May I act as Your Imperial Highness''s out- rider?
29167May I not quote your father''s own words?
29167May I take my children? 29167 May it please Your Majesty-- some steak?"
29167My-- what?
29167Never heard of the prodigious bosoms of_ Mademoiselle_ Chouin?
29167Not love you?
29167On a tour of inspection of houses of ill- fame?
29167Personal matter,you say?
29167Prison for the Crown Princess? 29167 See the pompous looking man in the corner yonder?
29167Since when do you give orders here, Baroness?
29167Since when does my husband send you to announce him?
29167So you do n''t love me?
29167Suppose I call on your Imperial Highness''s mother and ask her to forbid you to mount a horse for a month or so?
29167The Dolores is prettier than I?
29167Then how do you know I keep a Diary?
29167Then there will be no divorce?
29167Then why those cruel words?
29167Then you despise money?
29167They wo n''t let the Duke marry?
29167Very well,said Frederick Augustus, and I saw that I had risen mile- high in his estimation,"when will it be your pleasure to leave for Loschwitz?"
29167What are you doing, Imperial Highness?
29167What can I do with her?
29167What does Your Royal Highness mean?
29167What does he know?
29167What has happened?
29167What has that to do with my going to the theatre?
29167What have they found out?
29167What have we got here?
29167What have you been doing again?
29167What is Your Imperial Highness''s pleasure?
29167What right have you got to treat me like a woman unmindful of her duties?
29167What would you have me do, Louise? 29167 What''s this, what''s this?"
29167What''s this?
29167What''s this?
29167When will Your Imperial Highness deign to return?
29167Where did you get it?
29167Which of the princes is your husband?
29167Who is the lady?
29167Who let you in?
29167Who told you that?
29167Who told you that?
29167Who told you?
29167Who''s that?
29167Who''s''we''?
29167Why a cab?
29167Why do you want to leave Dresden?
29167Why does Your Royal Highness forbid me to see my children?
29167Why not?
29167Why stand such tyranny?
29167Will Your Majesty have one or two lumps of sugar?
29167Will your Imperial Highness allow me to explain?
29167Wo n''t stand for anything that I think proper to mete out to you, rascal? 29167 Would you like to paint me?"
29167You big booby,I interposed,"ca n''t you see that I''m not angry?
29167You dare advise me to leave my children?
29167You do n''t intend to go to such worldly amusements now that you are a mother?
29167You do n''t want me to go, papa do n''t want me to go, uncle and aunt and cousins do n''t? 29167 You furnished to her those infernal books, sowing the seed of guilty knowledge?"
29167You made these clippings?
29167You refer to me as anyone?
29167You saw that?
29167You visited Castle Sibyllenort a week ago,continued Romano--"a most proper place, this royal residence, is it not?
29167You want me to think that you command the rays of the sun stolen by Prometheus?
29167You will attend the opera?
29167You wo n''t allow the King, or Prince George, to dictate what I shall read or not read?
29167You?
29167After all, what can they do to you?"
29167Am I flirting, then?
29167Am I quiet?
29167And at Richard''s:"Will Your Greatness( Majesty) deign to take Your Greatness''s feather out of my eye?"
29167And come to think of it, if Lucretia and I were promenading in the_ Bois_ and met the Count by accident, where''s the harm?
29167And if I can not, what matters it?
29167And if he refused?
29167And she told the story of her infamy-- or mine?
29167And was n''t it a fact that the Socialists had combined never more to raise their hats to him just because he insisted on it?
29167And was n''t that one of the reasons why the government was more hard on them than happened to be politic?
29167At last I deign to inquire:"What is it, Baroness?"
29167But what about the testament?"
29167But what will I do?
29167Come along?"
29167Could it be Romano, dare- devil, who had come back to me?
29167Curious, is n''t it?
29167Did he take me for a dancing girl?
29167Did n''t the Kaiser nominate himself Adjutant- General to his grand- dad long after William I lay mouldering in Charlottenburg?"
29167Did n''t they accuse your grand- aunt, Marie Antoinette, of incest with her son and gave him to the cobbler to thrash the immorality out of him?"
29167Did they take me for a raven?
29167Do n''t I know what''s in your heart?"
29167Do n''t you see that I love you to distraction?
29167Do you hear, Grand Mistress?
29167Evolutions,_ Parade- marsch_, attacks, saluting the colors, Persian and Saxon, what not?
29167FOOTNOTES:[ Footnote 7: Queens seem to like this unseemly comparison:"Am I a kennel- dog in the estimation of the Bastard of England?"
29167Finally I managed to say:"Ca n''t you see that you are playing_ va banque_?"
29167Forever, I thought, when he put this question to me:"You are keeping a Diary, Louise?"
29167Has he expectations for gaining a throne?
29167Have I ever been allowed to be a real mother to them?
29167How long has he loved me?
29167I believe Queen Natalie''s father was a colonel, or was he only a lieutenant- colonel?
29167I blab about you to the King?
29167I cut him short:"Are the children yours or mine?"
29167I might forgive him the lie, but what is he doing with the money?
29167I rose and, measuring her from head to toe with flaming eyes, I said:"You will do nothing of the kind, do you understand?"
29167I shall tell them that I want to go home, but will they have me in Salzburg?
29167I was still grinning to myself when I heard Frederick Augustus''s troubled voice:"Get in, what are you standing around here for?"
29167I wonder whether this Bernhardt loves me?
29167Impertinence?
29167Is his admiration greater than his love?
29167Is it possible,"she continued sarcastically,"you have to ask?"
29167Leopold so far forgot himself as to address a question to the"All- Highest":"What infernal books?"
29167Liberty?
29167Louise wo n''t purchase two"_ How art thou''s?_"at the price their Majesties and Royal Highnesses ask.
29167May he come in?"
29167Maybe, knowing my inflammable heart, she offered the tempting bait solely to the end of getting me into her power?
29167Of course, the someone was the Tisch, but how did she know?
29167Once more I hold the whip hand, but what good will it do me since I am condemned to lose the man I love?
29167Secrets between the Prince- Royal and Your Imperial Highness-- how dare I pre- suppose such a state of things?
29167Shut my door to him?
29167The impertinent cat insisted:"But I think it proper----""Have you heard what I said or not, Baroness?"
29167Then father kissed me more lovingly than ever and asked, half apologetically:"Is it true, Louise, that you had a lover?"
29167This is the mode of proceedings: Ceremony obliges the King to address each member of the royal family with the words:"How do you do?
29167This morning I awoke a mental and physical wreck, but determined to solve those vexatious questions:"What do the King and Prince George know?"
29167To begin with, what has an elephant to do with supping with a dancing girl?"
29167Up to now I do n''t care a rap for him, but who knows?
29167Was I in a position to defy them?
29167Was n''t I poor?
29167Was n''t I young and handsome?
29167Was there ever a good- looking man, women did n''t try to capture and seduce?
29167What are you doing in Dresden?"
29167What are you going to do about it, King, George, Frederick Augustus?
29167What care I for the King, Prince George and the rest who are trying to make life miserable for me?
29167What do I care for George, what do I care for the world?
29167What do you take me for?
29167What does this royal drill- ground bully do?
29167What is he doing when he is not with me?
29167What kind of an establishment will he be able to set up?
29167What more do you want?
29167What new trouble was brewing?
29167What''s the use keeping a diary that is nothing but a record of quarrels and humiliations?
29167Where did you get them, anyhow?"
29167Where is his vaunted respect for the uniform?"
29167White as a ghost, he fixed his eyes upon mine, momentarily, and murmured:"Have we got to that point?"
29167Who would, if I did n''t?
29167Why?
29167Will he be wise enough to retain that throne?
29167Will my limbs carry me to him and liberty?
29167Would Your Imperial Highness be pleased to visit the theatre or the Opera if the King approves?"
29167Would it even prevent Prince George from saying that I myself was to blame?
29167Would you dare, Prince George?"
29167Yes or no?"
29167Yet there''s Bernhardt?
29167You triumph, wretch and Jezebel?
29167_ Scandalum magnatum!_ But what are you going to do about it,_ Messieurs_?
29167_ Sired and"Cousined"by Lunatics_ And is there no excuse for so much baseness in high places?
29167_ The Sad Saxon Court_ Her experience?
29167cried the King,''You dare name conditions for your good conduct?''"
29167he cried,"do n''t you know what happened to John the other day?"
29167shouted my husband,--"Impose conditions after the King moderated?"
2120A glass of burgundy[ poisoned burgundy], your Highness?
2120Among the thousand ill strokes of Fortune, does there at length come one pre- eminently good? 2120 And the Moral?"
2120And you are again our Gracious King, then?
2120Are you( ER) the Professor Gellert?
2120At Schonbrunn, in the short hours, Kappel finds Frau Kappel in state of unappeasable curiosity:''What can it be? 2120 Austria willing for Treaty; is your Majesty willing?"
2120Be swift enough, may not we cut through to Jauer, and get ahead of Daun?
2120But why does n''t it change? 2120 Can it be good,"she might privately think withal,"to begin our reign by kindling a foolish War again?"
2120Can the Reichshofrath say our junction is not complete?
2120Can you repeat any of your Fables?
2120Commissariat horses, drivers? 2120 Eight regiments, you said?
2120Hanover not in real danger,argues he;"if the French had it, would not they, all Europe ordering them, have to give it up again?"
2120Havana, what shall we do with it?
2120Have not you a brother at Freyberg?
2120Have you never been out of Saxony?
2120How can I? 2120 How these things will end?"
2120How, would you wish one Augustus, then, for all Germany?
2120Inevitable, then? 2120 Intending to enclose us in this bad pot of a Seichau; no crossing of the Katzbach, or other retreat to be left us at all?"
2120Meaning to try it then?
2120Peace coming?
2120Perhaps by Jauer, then, still? 2120 Push westward, nearer the King?
2120So? 2120 The Sisyphus stone, which we had got dragged to the top, the chains all beautifully slack these three months past,--has it leapt away again?
2120Their cash is out: except prayer to the Virgin, what but Peace can they attempt farther? 2120 Through, no: and were we through, is not there the Rohrgraben?"
2120Well, this is one good Author among the Germans; but why have not we more?
2120What do you think, is Homer or Virgil the finer as an Epic Poet?
2120What is it, then?
2120What is that you are cooking?
2120What is your complaint? 2120 What to do with it?"
2120Why all this dodging, and fidgeting to and fro? 2120 Why did not Friedrich stay altogether, and wait here?"
2120''And do you know where the Kallenberg lies?''
2120''Are you a Protestant?''
2120''Behind Strehlen, say you?
2120''Better surrender to Christian Austrians, had not you?''
2120''How long have you been in prison?''
2120''March?
2120''Sweep rapidly past Ferdinand,--cannot we?
2120''That is a Letter to me,''answers the Good- man:''What have you to do with it?''
2120''The Lager- Haus, say you?
2120''Were you well treated?''
2120''You shall go for soldiers, then;--possibly you will prefer that, you fine powdered velvet gentlemen?
2120),--are you able to prevent even that?
2120--"''Five thalers bounty for artillery men"say you?
2120--''Perhaps that is because you favored the Reichsfolk while here?''
2120--and ended by saying:"Succeed here, and all may yet be saved; be beaten here, I know the consequences: but what can I do?
2120--and would try a spoonful of it, in such company; while the rough fellows would forbid smoking,"Do n''t you know he dislikes it?"
2120--surely that is loyal, and not in the old cat''s- paw way?
2120--to replace Czernichef, and the blank he has left there?
2120592 n."October 5th"( ACCEPTANCE of the resignation, I suppose?)
2120A Gottsched inclined to the Socinian view?
2120A mere adjunct, or auxiliary, we: and we are a Feldmarschall; and you, what is your rank and seniority?"
2120A position not to be attacked on that southern front, nor on either of its flanks:--where can it be attacked?
2120A sally into Brandenburg: oh, could not you?
2120After two such Victories, and such almost miraculous recovery of himself, who shall say what resistance he will not yet make?
2120Alas, is our Czar regardless of Holy Religion, then?
2120All the more, as Division Three is likewise got across from Estremadura, invading Alemtejo: what is to keep these Two from falling on Lisbon together?
2120Am I here to inquire which of you shows bravery, which poltroonery?"''
2120And does order forward, hither, thither, masses of force to support the De Ligne, the O''Kelly, among others,--but who can tell what to support?
2120And then, on more reflection, Broglio afterwards:''Or not till the 15th, M. le Prince; till I reconnoitre ye and drive in his outposts?''
2120And where are these to come from; England and its help having also fallen into such dubiety?
2120Are not all men equal?"
2120Artillery recruits are scarce in the extreme; demand bounty: five thalers, shall we say?"
2120Breslau road?
2120Busy about many things;--"using the altar,"it seems,"by way of writing- table[ self or secretaries kneeling, shall we fancy, on those new terms?
2120But a certain Sergeant, Fugleman, or chief Corporal, stept out, saluting reverentially:"Regiment Bernburg, IHRO MAJESTAT--?"
2120But having solidly eaten out said Magazine, what could Hulsen do but again move rearward?
2120But why weary you with such details of my labors and my sorrows?
2120Butturlin and the Russians grumble to themselves:"And you to take all the credit, as you did at Kunersdorf?
2120Can there by no method be some distant notion afforded of them to the general reader?
2120Cautious Henri never would make the smallest attack on Soltikof, but merely keep observing him;--the end of which, what can the end of it be?
2120Choiseul frankly admits that he has come to the worst: ready for concessions, but the question is, What?
2120Consideration is:"To Holstein?
2120Did not they cancel it, and flatly refuse?"
2120Did you ever hear such a cannonade before?
2120Do n''t speak to me of dangers; the last Action costs me only a Coat[ torn, useless, only one skirt left, by some rebounding cannon- ball?]
2120Embarrassing?
2120Engaged, yes, and alas with what?
2120Ephraim and Itzig, mint- masters of that copper- coinage; rolling in foul wealth by the ruin of their neighbors; ought not these to bleed?
2120Fancy Loudon''s astonishment, on the third day:"While we have sat consulting how to attack him, there is he,--unattackable, shall we say?"
2120For which he severely suffered: and perhaps repented,--who knows?
2120For which, after all, is not everybody thankful, less or more?
2120Fouquet has obeyed to the letter:"Did not my King wrong me?"
2120Fouquet lost, Glatz unrelieved-- Nay, just before marching off, what is this new phenomenon?
2120Friedrich''s grief about Berlin we need not paint; though there were murmurs afterwards,"Why did not he start sooner?"
2120Going upon Glogau; upon Breslau?"
2120Goltz and Gudowitsh are engaged on Treaty of Peace; Czar frankly gives up East Preussen,"Yours again; what use has Russia for it, Royal Friend?"
2120HENRI..."I confess I am in great apprehension for Colberg:"--shall one make thither; think you?
2120Have not you heard, then?
2120Have you read La Fontaine?"
2120He asked me,"Do n''t you know the rules of war, then; that you fire after chamade is beaten?"
2120He has an Anti- Danish Russian Army just now in that neighborhood; he will not be safe in Holstein;--where will he be safe?"
2120He passionately entreats Czernichef to be helpful to him,--which Czernichef would fain be, only how can he?
2120Heyde consults his people:''KAMERADEN, what think you should I do?''
2120How a Baron, hitherto of honor, could all at once become TURPISSIMUS, the Superlative of Scoundrels?
2120How form in order of battle here, with Ziethen''s batteries shearing your columns longitudinally, as they march up?
2120How get these masses of enemies lured away, so that you could try such a thing?
2120How is this fire to be got under?
2120Human talent, diligence, endeavor, is it but as lightning smiting the Serbonian Bog?
2120I asked the Commandant, who was behind me, which way I should march; to the Crown- work or to the Envelope?
2120I can not; how can I?
2120I know not if you have arranged with Duke Ferdinand for a proportionate succor, in case his French also should try to penetrate into Saxony upon me?
2120I suppose these are bad times, are not they?"
2120I took arrangements with General Fouquet[ about that long fine- spun Chain of Posts, where we are to do such service?]
2120If Most Christian Majesty and his Pompadour will continue this War, is it he, or is it you, that can furnish the Magazines?
2120If even this day it be allowed us?
2120If everybody will do miracles, can not we perhaps still manage it, in spite of Fate?''"
2120Impregnable, under Prince Henri in far inferior force: how will you take it from Daun in decidedly superior?
2120Intends to finish Silesia altogether;--cannot he, after such a beginning upon Glatz last Year?
2120Is it DIE GELEHRTE KRANKHEIT( Disease of the Learned,"Dyspepsia so called)?
2120Is not Tottleben gone?
2120Let them fall off into Peace, like ripe pears, of themselves; we can then turn round and say,''Save you harmless?
2120Liegnitz itself, was not that( as many opine) a disaster due to cunctation, not of Loudon''s?
2120Loudon aiming for Neisse, do n''t you think?
2120No getting across the Rohrgraben on them, says your Excellenz?
2120No use marching thitherward farther:--whither now, therefore?
2120Nobody knows better than Friedrich in what perilous crisis he now stands: beaten here, what army or resource has he left?
2120Nobody seems to be able for his business; Lefebvre a blockhead( DUMMER TEUFEL), who knows nothing of mining: the Generals, too, where are they?
2120Not far from the Lordship Casserey, where there is a Water- mill, the King asked me,''Have n''t you missed the Bridge here?''
2120One of the King''s first questions was:''But how have I offended Warkotsch?''
2120Or Destiny, perhaps, may have tried him sufficiently; and be satisfied?
2120Or awkward Inadvertence only, practically meaning little or nothing?"
2120Or perhaps it will be a second Maxen to his Majesty and us, who was so indignant with poor Finck?"
2120Or, again, TO HENRI: Berlin?
2120Perhaps a sudden clutch at Lacy, in the opposite direction, might be the method of recalling Daun, and reaching him?
2120Perhaps by a Surprisal; by extreme despatch?''
2120Perhaps it will be some days yet before he do anything?''
2120Perhaps, at heart still Lutheran, and has no Religion?"
2120Poor Paul, does not he father himself, were there nothing more?
2120Readers recollect one Blucher"Prince of Wahlstatt,"so named from one of his Anti- Napoleon victories gained there?
2120Saxony is all theirs; can not they maintain Saxony?
2120Since September 18th, there had been three Cabinet- Councils held on this great Spanish question:"Mystery of treachery, meaning War from Spain?

34278Why are you out here?
34278Why did the Emperor fail to reply to my message?
34278Why do you not admit it?
34278Why does she warn me?
34278Why should I do that? 34278 Why, you who have been married two whole years are surely not still upon your honeymoon?"
34278Why?
34278Why?
34278Will Your Majesty leave the matter entirely in my hands?
34278Woman,cried the Emperor,"do you, then, openly defy my authority?"
34278You are certain you know nothing more?
34278You are quite certain of this, Heltzendorff, eh?
34278You are quite certain that you have never heard the name? 34278 You can refute it, surely?"
34278You did not reply, I hope?
34278You had perhaps met him before-- eh?
34278You have no knowledge of the trap into which the Crown- Prince fell when he was in Paris with you six months ago, and when he and I first met?
34278You know Spain?
34278You know nothing, Von Heltzendorff, eh?
34278You met him there, eh?
34278You met my friend Lehnhardt last night, did you not?
34278You probably do not know the true reason of his visit here to Nice?
34278You will recall my conversation regarding the Countess von Leutenberg-- eh?
34278You wish for no payment for this information, eh?
34278You wish to meet him, then?
34278Your Majesty does not believe in omens?
34278A courier should arrive to- morrow night, or is it Knof who is coming?
34278And as I discreetly withdrew I heard the Kaiser add:"Can not you, of our House of Hohenzollern, see that we can not afford to allow Cilli to leave us?
34278And must not a War- Lord make war?
34278And what more likely?
34278And, after all, the reputations of most of us here are tarnished-- more or less-- eh?"

34278But I do not think I am very likely to be caught-- eh?"
34278But how could she, in her position, have learnt the secret of the Emperor''s intentions?
34278But what can I do?
34278But who is he?
34278But, fortunately, he now knows the truth and sees the advantage of-- well, you know, eh?"
34278By what means had His Highness been rendered unconscious, and what part could the little old Countess have played in the curious affair?
34278Can not I see Minckwitz and bluff him?"
34278Can not we go across to the garden yonder?"
34278Come, you see-- eh?"
34278Could this man Martinez Aranda be an agent of police?
34278Do I know her?"
34278Do you happen to know Count Georg von Leutenberg, of the Hussars of the Guard?"
34278Do you know Italian?"
34278Do you know his wife-- a pretty little Englishwoman?"
34278Do you recollect my broken pearls?"
34278Do you remember the''Rat Mort''--eh?"
34278For what reason had he come from Potsdam?
34278For what reason?
34278Had the Emperor called the unknown doctor into consultation with Frau Kleist?
34278Has he told anybody what he knows?"
34278Has not one of our greatest German philosophers written:''It is no use breathing against the wind''?"
34278Have you come straight here?"
34278Have you seen her wig?"
34278He had evidently overheard her words about some curious thing happening, for, laughing gaily, he asked;"Now, what did happen a month ago?"
34278He knows that you are here to settle some delicate little piece of business concerning that secret visit of his to Rome-- eh?"
34278He seated himself upon the arm of a chair and asked:"Well, Heltzendorff, I suppose you''ve been out to lunch-- eh?
34278He will surely know?"
34278How can I act?"
34278How did he know that the pretty Countess would expect me?
34278How much?"
34278How shall I act?"
34278How shall I explain it?
34278I fear you encountered bad weather-- eh?"
34278I understand that you are acquainted with Herr Minckwitz,_ alias_ Sembach-- eh?"
34278I----""Have you not heard me?"
34278I----""Pardon, Madame,"I said, interrupting her, and speaking in French,"but is it really wise to speak thus of the Emperor''s secrets?
34278Is n''t that so?"
34278Is she not like that old crow, Von Kienitz?"
34278Let us leave the others to their sport and get back to the schloss and discuss a line of action-- eh?"
34278More than once His Highness had asked me:"Any news from Pinaud?"
34278Now, what is your decision?"
34278One of your enemies-- eh?
34278Report here at seven to- night-- understand?"
34278Richter?"
34278She has no idea of who you are, I hope?"
34278She looked very charming, and, in her frank way, asked me:"How do you like my dress, Count?
34278She might perhaps be useful to us-- eh?"
34278She wants me to write to Julie de Rouville at the Post Restante at Marseilles, eh?
34278She, too, had been in secret to the forester''s house-- but with what object?
34278Suddenly Karl asked:"Does Von Heltzendorff know?"
34278Surely you would not think that I should travel from Berlin here to Plymouth in order to meet you if I were not ready and eager to help you?"
34278That is where one takes one''s aunt, is it not?"
34278Then you have been horribly indiscreet-- eh?"
34278Then, after a pause, the Emperor looked me straight in the face and suddenly said:"Heltzendorff, have you any knowledge of any man called Minckwitz?"
34278Then, in a whisper, she said with a merry laugh:"Do you remember those clattering hoofs and my broken rope of pearls?
34278Then, turning to me, he apparently recognized my voice, for he asked--"How in the name of Fate did you come here, Heltzendorff?"
34278Then, turning to me, he said:"Will you see Von Glasenapp for me, and hand him those orders for Posen?
34278There is a doubt as to the man''s identity, eh?"
34278Understand?"
34278Was I being watched?
34278Was he not the War- Lord?
34278Was it for the purpose of meeting Schäfer that we had gone to Nice?
34278Was there some scandal at the root of it all, some facts which the Crown- Prince feared might be revealed?
34278We shall have a port on this pleasant sea one day-- if we live as long-- eh?"
34278We shall meet again very soon-- eh?
34278Well, did I not say that I should not be very long before I returned to Potsdam, eh?"
34278Well, what''s the trouble?"
34278Well?"
34278Well?"
34278What brought us together, you, an English novelist, and I a-- well, how shall I describe myself?
34278What can I do to- night-- eh?
34278What could I do?
34278What could it be?
34278What could the Emperor know of him?
34278What did it all mean?
34278What did it mean?
34278What did you think of him when I presented you?
34278What do they matter?"
34278What do you mean?"
34278What is his name?"
34278What is she like?"
34278What is the very interesting topic of conversation, eh?"
34278What is your complaint?"
34278What shall we do?
34278What was his offence that she, with the Crown- Prince, should concoct, as it seemed to me, such a plot as that I had partly overheard?
34278What was unfortunate?
34278What, I wondered, was in the wind?
34278When we were out of earshot I told him of the Emperor''s telegram, and added:"That lady was Miss Hewitt, was she not?"
34278When will you learn reason?"
34278Where is he?
34278Where was the General''s son-- the real culprit and author of the letters?
34278Who was that young fellow in whom the little old Countess seemed to take such deep and peculiar interest?
34278Who was this Karl Krahl against whom some deep- laid plot was levelled?
34278Why had the Emperor singled out for advancement the husband of that woman, the sight of whom had so greatly annoyed him?
34278Why had the Kaiser summoned him?
34278Why is he here?"
34278Why should my mouth be thus closed?
34278Why, I wondered, had His Majesty sent the Baron that photograph of Elise Breitenbach?
34278Why?
34278Why?
34278Why?"
34278Will you return to Berlin and report to the Emperor what you have seen here?
34278Will you see him?"
34278You have perhaps devised something-- eh?
34278You know this Miss King, do you not?"
