20880This is what the priests said of this vice:"My brethren, what is worse than drunkenness?
20880Thousands of workmen died;--what did he care?
20880Was it Alexander or his court and ministers who bore the responsibility for the suppressive means that were employed?
20880Was it Muravieff''s duty to furnish those supplies?
20880Was it belief in his star, or was it despair at the ruin of his prospects?
20880Was it not to defile the image of man created by God?"
20880What are you waiting for?
20880Who can say how much influence this has exerted upon Russia''s conquests in Asia?
20880Why did he waste thirty- five days in the charred capital?
20880Why was the Russian fleet, numerically superior to that of Japan, divided?
20880Why"All the Russias"?
20880Why, then, should he pay for them?
20880Will you live at peace with me?
20880Would he not seize the opportunity to indulge in his favorite craving, and, having sold his property, swell the army of homeless vagabonds?
20880she exclaimed,"the conditions sent to me at Mittau were not the will of the people?"
36303***** How far, however, can the Socialist policy of the working class advance in the economic environment of Russia?
36303And why should one confiscate the land of the communities and the land of small private owners?
36303Applied to Russia, is it true that the weakness of capitalistic liberalism means the weakness of the working class?
36303Are we not warranted in our conclusion that the"man"will sooner gain political supremacy in Russia than his"master"?
36303But how about Russia?
36303But is it not possible that the peasants will remove the workingmen from their positions and take their place?
36303But, a skeptic may ask, is there then any hope for a victorious revolution in Russia under these circumstances?
36303Did he dream in those long hours of his journey, that some day the wave of the Revolution would bring him to the very top?
36303For national defense or for revolutionary struggle?
36303For the continuation of the war, for victory?
36303For war or against war?
36303How can we do it?
36303How far, then, must the social differentiation have gone to warrant the assertion that the second prerequisite is an accomplished fact?
36303In other words, what must be the numerical strength of the proletariat?
36303Is he not also a stranger to those who applaud him and in whose name he speaks from this platform?
36303Is it so?
36303Is the half- paupered peasant a proletarian?
36303Must it be one- half, two- thirds, or nine- tenths of the people?
36303Or will the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people swing towards a more vigorous prosecution of the war?
36303Shall the proletariat agree with the conception of"the defense of the Fatherland"?
36303Should not the very fact of his imprisonment have convinced him that in drawing a picture of labor dictatorship he was only dreaming?
36303This question will still remain: Who has the hegemony in the government and through it in the country?
36303WAR OR PEACE?
36303What are the requirements for this leadership?
36303What enabled it in this short period to take an honorable place in the history of the Russian proletariat, in the history of the Russian Revolution?
36303What is the cause of the war?
36303What ought the revolutionary government to do?
36303What ought to be the tactics of the working- class in war time?
36303What was the result?
36303What was the substance of this institution?
36303Whom should we consider a proletarian?
36303Why then have all attempts at organizing Socialist communities failed?
36303Why was it so?
36303Will it bring peace nearer?
36303Would that be mere manoeuvers, and not a street revolution?
36303Would that mean a series of exercises only, and not a decisive combat with the enemy forces?
41751''In God''s name, Efendi, what induced you to come to this fearful country, and to come to us too from that paradise on earth, from Stamboul?''
41751''What would you do with this Efendi,''said Kotchak Khan,''if you encountered him in Russia?
41751( thought I) thou cruel saint, couldst thou not have got thyself interred elsewhere, to spare me the terrible martyrdom of this pilgrimage?''

41751And can not that which has once occurred, when the necessity arises, occur a second time?
41751And what if he is able to save a few small coins?
41751But why linger over Mazendran and all its beauties, rendered so familiar to us by the masterly sketches of Frazer, Conolly, and Burnes?
41751He was right, thought I, for, in fact, what was I to do?
41751How could it be otherwise in these countries, where there was positively not even a hope of seeing each other again?
41751I doubt much whether, in these extreme sufferings, water would have been of service; but who was there to give it to him?
41751Khalmurad?''
41751Need I say which side in this mental struggle gained the victory?
41751Was he, in any respect, the worse for that?''
41751What if I journeyed with these pilgrims into Central Asia?
41751What more can you say?
41751What need to insist that the spirit in which religion is administered has a powerful influence upon both Government and society?
41751What wilt thou then do?''
41751What wonder that I was somewhat in the condition of a half- boiled fish, when on the 13th July, 1862, I approached the capital of Persia?
41751When I bade him farewell I saw a tear in his eye-- a tear, who knows by what feeling dictated?
41751When I questioned the creditor as to this remarkable manner of procedure, his answer was,''What have I to do with the writing?
41751When two Kirghis meet, the first question is,''Who are thy seven fathers-- ancestors?''

41751and thou hadst then no other motive in coming hither from so distant a land?''
41751why need I add that the impression produced by its exterior was weakened as we approached, and entirely dissipated by our entry into the place itself?
41751{ 237} But why any longer distress the reader with these cruelties?
43513And how does Henryk find himself?
43513And may I go now and tell Mademoiselle?
43513And then the young sister Helena will find her young man?
43513And what was my boy reading as I came in?
43513And will you take us?
43513But suppose Mademoiselle should become frightened and want to return?
43513But what does it all mean?
43513But what for?
43513Do n''t you know that the lady of the manor is here?
43513Do n''t you remember what you told me the day I came? 43513 Do you suppose mother will allow us to cast a wreath into the Vistula?"
43513For what are they waiting, mother?
43513May I?
43513She is n''t fifteen yet, is she?
43513What is it all about, mother?
43513What secret?
43513What''s that?
43513When shall we start?
43513Which shall we take?
43513Why not? 43513 Will it come by the road?"
43513Will you surely take me?
43513You are nearly ready for the wedding day?
43513You do n''t imagine you will be allowed to go in search of the wonderful fern, do you, Marya?
43513You remember the story of the Princess Wanda, and how she threw herself into the Vistula in order to save her country from wars?
43513You were married very young, were you not?
43513You will be glad to have your own little home, Emilia?
43513Any prospects of a husband yet?"
43513But I wonder what keeps them?"
43513But is it really true, mother?"
43513But when one goes to visit_ her_, he cares not; he is only too proud to display his courage, for will not_ she_ love him the better for it?
43513Gadenz?"
43513I had planned to take the children to Cracow for St. John''s Night--""Oh, mother,"interrupted the young Marya,"will you?"
43513May I?"
43513Mrs. Ostrowska stroked one young girl gently under the chin, as she said:"This will be your last Christmas under the home- roof, Emilia?"
43513Perhaps, who knows, but that they might meet their future husbands here?
43513Shall we take the pony cart?"
43513The oldest brother thought he should, for was he not the eldest?
43513Then he suddenly called out:"What will they look like, grandfather?"
43513What cared they whether they were snow- bound or not, so long as they could make their music ring out over the clear, frosty air?
43513What do you think?"
43513What mattered anything that night, when all hearts were light, and youth was abroad?
43513What mattered it that they were unknown to each other?
43513Who can say but that they rather enjoyed the experience?
43513Why should he have all the glory when they, too, had made the long journey as well as the eldest?
60867''Soldiers,''he said,''will you go with us; or stay and unite with those who have proved faithless to their sovereign?''
60867''What does this mean, my dear comrades?''
60867''Why,''would a Polish soldier say to the Russian,''why are we shedding each other''s blood?
60867And how many of them have not been found under the banners of Dombrowski, in Italy, and under those of Kniaziewiez, upon the Danube?
60867Are these complaints the only arms worthy of the Russian people?
60867Are we not brethren?''
60867Are you here to shed the blood of your brethren?
60867Can it be possible that the design of rendering a service to their country has been made for a moment a pretext for such conduct?
60867Can we be surprised, then, at the state of the popular mind which ensued?
60867Even if such apprehensions were well founded, are diplomatic formalities to be regarded, on an occasion like this?
60867First, what was the object of commencing the attack?
60867For, who accompanied him so faithfully in all his expeditions as the sons of Poland?
60867General, have you forgotten how you were received at Warsaw, after your return from the campaign of Turkey?
60867Have you forgotten the Russian tyranny?
60867How could an expedition which demanded the very highest talents, and the most undoubted patriotism, have been confided to a man like him?
60867How many more lives might he not still lose?
60867If those conditions were compatible with justice and with the honor of the nation, why was all this secrecy necessary?
60867Is this a course becoming a King?
60867Secondly, what was, in regard to tactics, the cause of its cessation, and of that sudden retreat?
60867The Russians, to whom the name of Dwernicki was a terror, would speak of him in the following manner:''What can we make of such a general?
60867The partition of Poland has been denominated a crime by the unanimous voice of Europe, and who at this day will revoke such a decision?
60867The patriots of Warsaw triumphed without chiefs and without law; yet with what crime can they be charged?
60867The question presents itself to him,--what course is best to be taken?
60867They used to express themselves in the following and similar terms:--''What is the constitution?
60867Was it for this that we conciliated the Autocrat of the North on the Belgian question?
60867Was not this inactivity an infallible evidence of weakness?
60867What conditions could Nicholas propose to the Dictator, which the nation should not know of?
60867What consolation could there be in the last agonies of suffering incurred in such a cause?
60867What other recompense for all this?
60867What reward awaits the Russian soldier?
60867Who then would have equalled you?
60867Who will venture to come forward as the champion against it?
60867Why then all this delay?
60867Why then was that river defended?
60867what could we do?
60867why all this misery?
46407Are you mad,I replied;"how can I go with you?
46407But how will you manage to live when you are with your relatives?
46407But how?
46407But in what should I have confided in you?
46407But what on earth could you have found to love at our house?
46407For why,as I said to myself,"was she placed with me if she was not worthy?"
46407Have you made any nocturnal expeditions?
46407Have you spoken on this subject to any one else?
46407In what respect?
46407Well,I said, in the innocence of my heart,"what harm is there in that?
46407What is the matter?
46407What will you say to her?
46407Approaching me he said,"Have you seen how the Empress spoke to me?"
46407But what did she do?
46407Count Poniatowsky, when going out, always wore a wig of fair hair and a cloak, and to the question of the sentinels,"Who goes there?"
46407Do you not remember that you have children?"
46407Has any one spoken to her of them?"
46407Have you found more crimes than criminals, or more criminals than crimes?"
46407He therefore said,"Tell me, then; do you know anything on this point?
46407He was so far thrown off his guard as to say to me,"But how then is it that the Empress has been impressed to the contrary?"
46407Here she interrupted me by saying,"And why did you write this to him?"
46407How was this alliance to be prevented?
46407How, for instance, could you presume to send orders to Marshal Apraxine?"
46407I added,"How do you know that my heart is not engaged elsewhere?"
46407I asked what that channel was?
46407I replied laughing,"what is it you say?"
46407I replied,"I, madame?
46407I said to her,"How is this, Madame Tchoglokoff?"
46407In fact, how was it possible to arrive at any other conclusion?
46407In the horse- guards an officer named Chitron(?
46407My old surgeon Gyon, seeing these things, said to me,"What is the good of all this?
46407Passing to the Memoirs themselves, what do we find?
46407She then said to me,"But what excuse should I give to the public in justification of this step?"
46407When he again returned to the subject, I asked him what it was he wanted of me?
46407Who is it that gives you such bad advice?
46407Who would have thought it?
46407Would any one have believed it?
46407and why?"
46407madame,"I said,"how could your Majesty possibly suppose that I should be haughty to you?
46407she said,"will you deny having written to him?
46407what has happened to you?"
23031And how air you going?
23031And you are going to the front, old lady-- you, of all people in the world?
23031But, Madame Seacole,( this in a very altered tone),"_ you''ll_ surely help me?
23031Do you think I shall be of any use to you when I get there?
23031I am yours, truly obliged,J. K., 18th R. S."Does n''t that read like a sick man''s letter, glad enough to welcome any woman''s face?
23031I say, Mrs. Seacole, how''s that---- boy?
23031Oh, Dr. Casey, how could you shoot the poor lad, and now call him bad names, as though he''d injured you? 23031 What am I to do?
23031What can I do or say, Dr. Casey? 23031 Where air you going?"
23031Why not, my sons?--won''t they be glad to have me there?
23031Another equally terrible and lengthy siege of the north?
23031As it was, he came forward, and shook hands very kindly, saying,"How do you do, ma''am?
23031But what have I gained?
23031But who, indeed, has not been kind to me?
23031By what conveyance air you going?"
23031Ca n''t I rig up a hut with the packing- cases, and sleep, if need be, on straw, like Margery Daw?"
23031Come, Madame Seacole, you''ll never leave me to be murdered by these bloodthirsty savages?"
23031Did these ladies shrink from accepting my aid because my blood flowed beneath a somewhat duskier skin than theirs?
23031Her colour was grey; would not a thick coating of flour from my dredger make all right?
23031How could it be otherwise?
23031How was I to know when I brought them what camp- life was?
23031I could give many other similar instances, but why should I sadden myself or my readers?
23031I felt it to be so, for I never failed( although who was I, that I should preach?)
23031I wonder if I can ever forget the scenes I witnessed there?
23031In a few days the camp could find plenty to talk about in their novel position-- and what then?
23031Is n''t there a something we can du for you, ma''am?"
23031More fighting?
23031Now, would all this have happened if I had returned to England a rich woman?
23031Perhaps you''ll see them some day, and if the Russians should knock me over, mother, just tell them I thought of them all-- will you?"
23031Tell me, reader, can you fancy what the want of so simple a thing as a pocket- handkerchief is?
23031To put a case-- have you ever gone out for the day without one; sat in a draught and caught a sneezing cold in the head?
23031Was it not so with me?
23031Was it possible that American prejudices against colour had some root here?
23031What better or happier lot could possibly befall me?
23031What can you do for me, mami?"
23031What object has Mrs. Seacole in coming out?
23031What was to be done?
23031Why did n''t he show a little pluck?
23031Why did you ever bring me to this place?
23031Why not trust to their welcome and kindness, and start at once?
23031Will the reader take any interest in my Crimean Christmas- pudding?
23031Would you like, reader, to know my recipe for the favourite claret cup?
23031_ you''ll_ surely tell the alcalde that the wound''s a slight one?
23031do I, Aunty?"
42540''If I had taken him prisoner,''said Mahomet,''who would there be to govern his dominions?''
42540And lastly, the matter in question was not if he should take arms against his father, but if he should succeed him after his death?
42540But from whence came these_ Slavi_, whose language has spread over all the north- east part of Europe?
42540But how could inhabitants of India navigate the Germanic seas?
42540But in what language were the Chinese to negotiate with the Russians, in the midst of deserts?
42540But, how can a private declaration of a secret thought, under the seal of confession, be a double parricide?
42540Do you not censure and condemn, nay, even affect to hold in detestation, whatever I do for the good of my people?
42540Had I not the power in my own hands to oblige you to conform to my will?
42540Have you ever assisted him in toils and labours since you arrived at the age of maturity?
42540How comes it that they differ so totally from their pretended ancestors in features, figure, and complexion?
42540How noble a picture of government, when a monarch, that can force another nation to infringe its constitution, dare not violate his own?
42540How often have I reproached you for your sullenness and indocility?
42540How then could so many different interests be rendered compatible with a neutrality?
42540If you despise the advice I give you while I am alive, what regard will you pay to them after my death?
42540In like manner I say to you, since you know not how to manage your domestic affairs, how can you be able to govern a kingdom?
42540In the midst of the rejoicings on account of this marriage, the strelitzes raised a new insurrection, and( who would believe it?)
42540Is this a circumstance of so trivial a nature, that it must be set down lest it should be forgotten?
42540To a son who, like that slothful servant in the gospel, buries his talent in the earth, and neglects to improve what God has committed to his trust?
42540Was I obliged to leave you at liberty to choose your way of life?
42540Was he dead when the sacred oil was poured upon his head?
42540We may perhaps be apt to look upon this as a trivial and ridiculous entertainment for a great prince; but is it more so than our carnival?
42540What man would think of making such a memorandum as this,''I must remember to confine my wife in a convent?''
42540What then may not be expected from the administration of a sovereign so superior to vulgar prejudice?
42540When or how could this dissevered head have been rejoined to its trunk?
42540Whence came the declension of their empire, but from the neglect of arms?
42540Who would have imagined, that there was a university in Derpt?
42540with how much stronger reason does such a design deserve to be punished with death?
16930And his new title_ Imperator_( Emperor), had it not a diabolic sound?
16930And his new"calendar,"transferring September to January, was it not clearly a trick of Satan to steal the days of the Lord?
16930And if then he was invited(?)
16930And what was the object of all this scheming?
16930And who had ever before seen a Tsar of Moscow quit Holy Russia to wander in foreign lands among Turks and Germans?
16930And who has ever told upon canvas the story of the battlefield with such energy and with such thrilling reality, as has Verestchagin?
16930But how could he be sure of the knowledge and the science of these idle youths-- unless he himself owned it and knew better than they?
16930But what could he do?
16930By his newly invented census had he not"numbered the people"--a thing expressly forbidden?
16930Can anyone estimate the effect upon a single human being to have known that a father, brother, son, sister, or wife has perished under the knout?
16930Could such a person ever again be capable of reasoning calmly or sanely upon"political reforms"?
16930Did I not show mercy?
16930Did he not stand ready to march against Novgorod, or any proud, refractory state which failed in tribute or homage to his master the Khan?
16930Had it not always belonged to them?
16930How else could they explain such impious demeanor in a Tsar of Russia-- except that he was of Satanic origin, and was the Devil in disguise?
16930How long would it have taken Russia to_ grow_ into modern civilization?
16930How will this colossal force be used in the future?
16930How would Christ recognize his own at the Last Day?
16930If some were chastised, was it not for their crimes, and are they not my slaves-- and shall I not do what I will with mine own?"
16930If there were any slumbering tiger- instincts in this half- Asiatic people, was not this enough to awaken them?
16930If this was a period of_ Renaissance_ for Western Europe, was it not rather a_ Naissance_ for Russia?
16930Is it not the part of prudence for us to come to an understanding regarding what should be done in case of such a catastrophe?
16930Ivan said later, in his own vindication:"When that dog Adashef betrayed me, was anyone put to death?
16930Pskof replies:"How can I but weep and lament?
16930Should they lure the French army on to its destruction and then burn and retreat?
16930Their Princes were proud and powerful-- their followers( the_ Drujiniki_)--noble and fearless-- who could stand before them?
16930They say now that I am cruel and irascible; but to whom?
16930Was he not always ready, not only to obey himself, but to enforce the obedience of others?
16930We repeat: Who could tell this story of chaos; and who, after it is told, would read it?
16930What disaster could be for Russia more terrible than an absorption into Catholic Poland?
16930What had Russia to gain from alliances in the West?
16930What must have been the Russian_ people_ when her princes were still only barbarians?
16930What one man could reform Russia?
16930What should they do?
16930What was the secret of such a power?
16930When was there not a period of troubles in this land?
16930Where has there been music suggesting such depths of sadness and of human passion?
16930Where have men written with such tragic intensity?
16930Who and what was to blame for these calamities?
16930Who could reform a volcano?
16930Who could tell what might happen?
16930Why do you wait?
16930Why was it that the Russian army could successfully compete with Turks and Asiatics, and not with Europeans?
16930glorious city of Pskof-- why this weeping and lamentation?"
16930or should they there take their stand and sacrifice the last army of Russia to save Moscow?
13806And this?
13806And this?
13806And why?
13806Any pilmania?
13806But,I asked,"do not the men object to this kind of jettison?"
13806By what right do you ask for it? 13806 Can I use it in Irkutsk?"
13806Did you ever hear,said a gentleman to me,"of rats devouring window- glass, or of anchors and boiler iron blowing away in the wind?"
13806For what reason?
13806Have they anything?
13806How did I come from America,he asked,"and how far had I traveled to reach Blagoveshchensk?"
13806How did you speak German?
13806How is this?
13806How much?
13806Is it also the prison for those who are kept here permanently?
13806Is it true,he asked carelessly,"that a beaver skin is legal tender for a dollar?"
13806Is that the only American tune you have?
13806Nothing at all?
13806Really, I ca n''t say; what_ is_ Irkutsk?
13806Some beef, then?
13806Well, would you like to come and sleep here?
13806What is that?
13806What is this building?
13806When would the telegraph be finished?
13806Where are you going?
13806Where, sir?
13806Why do n''t you come to sleighs at once, and settle the matter?
13806Why do n''t you have a better seat for your driver?
13806Will it be available in Asia?
13806Will you be so kind, then,was the traveler''s request,"as to give me change for a dollar bill?"
13806_ Parlez vous Francais_?
13806_ Skolka stoit, yieetsa_?
13806A loud voice roused him--"What are you doing here?"
13806And did n''t we enjoy it after riding eight or ten hours over a road that would have shaken skimmilk into butter?
13806And what can I say?
13806And what_ is_ the difference?
13806Are you police?"
13806As the latter stopped, General Mouravieff turned to the Captain and asked:"Will you be kind enough to translate what has been said?"
13806At the end of the dinner I was ready to answer affirmatively the inquiry,"all full inside?"
13806Can any philosopher explain why boats in the service of government are nearly always dirty?
13806He named a very small sum, and said--"Come; why do you hesitate?"
13806He was set down in the street; and knocking at a house, inquired in the Russian fashion--"Have you horses to hire?"
13806How do you do?"
13806I wonder if Cuvier knew the taste of the cows at Ohotsk?
13806If they can do without trunks, of what should not man be capable?
13806In looking at these flocks I remembered a conundrum containing the inquiry,"Why do white sheep eat more hay than black ones?"
13806On opening I found a man who asked in a bewildered air,"_ Amerikansky doma?_""_ Dah_,"I responded.
13806On passing through a little village at nightfall, a voice cried:"Who is there?"
13806Our negotiations required much diplomacy, but our existence depended upon it, and what will not man accomplish when he wants bread and meat?
13806Piotrowski took courage, returned the salutations of the passers- by-- for how could he be distinguished in such a crowd?
13806Was there ever a steamboat agent who did not promise more than his employers performed?
13806What is the difference?"
13806What is to be the nationality of the islands in the river?
13806When I asked why there was no culture of grain in Kamchatka, they replied:"What is the necessity of it?
13806Where to?"
13806Who can say whether you do not mean to rob me of my papers?
13806Who has ever read or talked of Moscow without its historic fortress?
13806Why should we not return the compliment and bestow a little attention upon the Slavonic tongue?
13806Would Lindley Murray permit me to say that I saw one barge manned by ten women?
13806Would we take sherry, port, or madiera, or would we prefer Johannisberg, Hockheimer, or Verzenay?
13806Would we try Veuve Cliquot, or Carte d''Or?
13806said his companion,"are you meditating flight?
13806was partitioned in 1612 by the Swedes( at Novgorod) and the Poles( at MOSCOW?)
41452And pray by what right do you speak thus?
41452Are we not told that if we are smitten by an enemy upon one cheek we should turn the other? 41452 Are you in ignorance that my personal safety is in charge of the special Palace Police who are responsible for the safety of the Emperor?"
41452Are you not aware that I am immune from espionage by your confounded agents?
41452Are you quite certain of this, Holy Father?
41452But who are your enemies?
41452But why, Holy Father, did you leave us?
41452But, Holy Father, what can I do?
41452Holy Father,she said one clay to Helidor,"what can I do?
41452If so, then why is he not imprisoned?
41452Is it really very serious?
41452Is there any other enemy who should be removed?
41452Is there anything I can do?
41452Is this a curse upon me?
41452Not even this afternoon?
41452Of what nature?
41452What is it?
41452What is this, Holy Father?
41452What of poor little Alexis?
41452Whither shall I send those persons?
41452Why?
41452Will you, my Holy Father, fetch me my private cipher- book?
41452You will not leave us at this juncture-- you will not, Holy Father, leave us to our fate?
41452Again, were not the scandals of the"Abode of Love"much the same as that of Rasputin''s dozen- wived harem which he established in Pokrovsky?
41452By whom?"
41452Can not you arrange that he is absent?
41452Can not you work a miracle?
41452Could any letter be more incriminating?
41452Could the Russian people have denounced her"Holy Father"?
41452Dear true friend and father, how is Matroysha( Rasputin''s peasant wife)--and the children?
41452Even people in Great Britain were daily asking each other"When will Roumania come in it?"
41452Four days later Her Majesty telegraphed again to the Tsar:"Tsarskoe- Selo, December 30th, 4:37 p.m."Can you send Voyeipoff to me at once?
41452Has history ever before recorded such an astounding letter written by a reigning Empress to a sham saint?
41452He had cured the poor; why could he not, if he willed it, cure her son?
41452In this letter, which is still upon record, the Grand Duke wrote:"Where is the root of the evil?
41452It seems to have acted well-- eh?
41452No word against Rasputin''s loyalty was ever believed, for was he not the most intimate and loyal friend of both Emperor and Empress?
41452Shall Alexis be taken with another seizure?
41452That the Duma were dissatisfied with the state of affairs was plain, but had not the House of Commons often expressed equal dissatisfaction?
41452There is but one Tsar, and it is myself-- eh?"
41452Therefore, I must bow to the inevitable-- and I Will depart?"
41452To whom do you refer?"
41452Was he after all endowed with some supernatural power?
41452Was he immune from the effects of that most deadly poison?
41452Was the monk after all under some divine or mysterious protection?
41452What chance had poor suffering Russia against such crafty underhand conspiracy?
41452What higher sphere can I achieve?
41452What is it worth?
41452What is wrong?
41452When are you returning from Pokrovsky?
41452Where is it?"
41452Who has dared to do that?"
41452Why do these silly impetuous women warn me?
41452Why have you not written?
41452Why is he arrested?
41452Why is this advance against the Germans not stopped?
41452Why this long dead silence when my poor heart is hourly yearning for news of you, and for your words of comfort?
41452Why?
41452Why?
41452Wilt thou give orders to the police to leave me unmolested?"
41452Would Rasputin be more successful?
41452Would he come?
41452Would he walk into the trap so cunningly baited for him?
41452can I ever forget that feeling of perfect peace and blank forgetfulness that I experience when you are near me?
41452gasped the Emperor,"what has happened?
41452he exclaimed at last in his deep, heavy voice, still that of the Siberian mujik,"you desire me here?
45994Are you hurt?
45994But ca n''t I have some bread and tea first?
45994But is n''t it frozen a large part of the year?
45994Do you mean your chum, Vanka, whom my mother spanked when he threw mud at me as a child?
45994Do you remember Mongalov?
45994Do you see anything?
45994Do you think you are necessary,she inquired,"to deciding what ought to be done?"
45994How big is Siberia?
45994How can you tell?
45994How do I know?
45994How many tigers has he killed?
45994Is it a tiger?
45994Is she alive?
45994Is this your son? 45994 What are you doing here?
45994What kind of people are there in Vladivostok?
45994What''s the matter with you?
45994What''s the use of that?
45994Where is Katia?
45994Why did you do that?
45994Why wo n''t you come with us, Ivan Stepanovitch?
45994Why,he answered rather impatiently,"do n''t you hear how the dogs are barking?"
45994Will he live?
45994Will he return?
45994--_Atlanta Constitution._= FAMOUS LEADERS OF INDUSTRY.--First Series="Are these stories interesting?
45994A man near the door faced me with,"Where is your rifle?"
45994Are you hurt?
45994Are you keeping in mind, my son, Cossack ideals of bravery and honor?"
45994Are you sick?
45994Are you the young fellow whom Captain Mongalov wishes to have a horse?"
45994But Mikhailov had heard and signaled"Where?"
45994But what else?
45994Come in quickly and tell me how you ever managed for so long without your mother?"
45994Did n''t I tell you to go in?"
45994Did n''t Mitya tell you that he is now a_ sotnik_?
45994Do you understand?"
45994Father slowly and smilingly replied,"Do n''t you recognize me, Ivan Petrovitch?
45994Finally some one did turn to my father with,"Is he quite dead?"
45994He turned to me exclaiming roughly:"What''s the matter with you?
45994How could they get them so far away, even if they should happen to shoot them?"
45994How many rifles can we count on for to- morrow?"
45994I heard my mother whisper:"Did the tiger come?"
45994Is it possible?"
45994Mother saw me and called out,"Where are you in such a hurry to go, you foolish boy?
45994Mother watched him with a troubled air, and at last asked:"What''s the matter, Alexis?"
45994Mother, greatly alarmed, ran up to me, crying out:"For heaven''s sake, Vanka, what''s the matter?
45994One night after I had gone to my bed, where I lay dreaming of having won distinction in the army, I heard mother say,"What''s worrying you, Alexis?
45994Or is anything wrong with the horses?
45994Or"--here her voice trembled--"have you had bad tidings of Dimitri that you''re afraid to tell me?"
45994Petersburg?"
45994Seeing me he called out roughly,"What are you doing here?
45994Then I heard father saying,"Why ca n''t you be quiet?
45994Then Mikhailov asked father,"Where are you going?"
45994Then, taking me by the shoulder, he demanded:"Where was the tiger?"
45994To relieve the tensity of the atmosphere, he said in quite a natural tone,"You''re scared, Sonny, eh?"
45994Were they laughing at me?
45994What becomes of it?
45994What was the matter?
45994What would my father say, or my grandfather?
45994What''s the matter?"
45994When he saw us he turned to my father with,"From where do you hail, friend?"
45994When she understood why I had come, her first question was,"Is father already home?"
45994When they had gone, Mongalov turned to the former artillery officer, whose name was Kuzmin, and asked,"Where did you meet Lidia Ivanovna?"
45994Where is your father?"
45994Whoever heard of their doing such a thing?
45994Why do n''t you move there?"
33303''Why does your aching and melancholy song echo unceasingly in one''s ears? 33303 And do you know, bishop?"
33303But surely you know what that means? 33303 I hope,"I said,"that he is now better?"
33303Is n''t it extraordinarily difficult to acquire, and to make yourself understood?
33303Is this the prison?
33303What would one of our generals get,said one of the French officers to his friend,"if he ordered such a thing as that?"
33303Who will not pray?
33303''And the Jews,''queried the''voice,''''What are they doing?''
33303''And what about their religion?''
33303And before I left he inquired:--"When will you be coming to Russia again, bishop?"
33303And how many of our own peasantry dream of having what is a perfectly ordinary and weekly habit of the Russians-- the bath in his own house?
33303And if one only just thinks,"What would our countrymen do in Russia?
33303As soon as the Russian priest heard that this was to be done he immediately asked if he and his people might be present and share in the service?
33303Can nothing be done?"
33303Do you say it?
33303How many villages of our own, even now, have a public bath?
33303How, then, are we to account for all the well- known stories of miseries and sufferings associated with that lone, and in winter very terrible land?
33303I have known more than one peasant ask me,''Is England beyond Germany-- far?
33303Mr. Fraser felt it was absurd to call such a place a prison, and asked:--"Do you really mean to say that these women do n''t go away?"
33303No?
33303Paul?"
33303Russia, what do you want of me?
33303Soon afterwards an old peasant woman, to whom she had once shown a kindness, arrived, and at once began to inquire:--"Has Elizabeth come yet?"
33303Suppose we have our Celebration at 7.30, and you arrange yours for 8.30 instead of 8.15, and we will all come over together?
33303The Highlander replied, without a moment''s hesitation,''Doing?
33303Then you''ll come and tell us all about it when you return, wo n''t you?"
33303What is it that we mean when we speak of the religious life of a people, Christian and non- Christian alike?
33303What is there between you and me?''
33303What was she to do?
33303When I was leaving I said to her,"I''ve been wondering when you get your rest?"
33303Where from and what for?"
33303Where''s Elizabeth?"
33303Who could not go away deeply thankful that they were not allowed to feel in that remote place that they were forgotten by their Church?
33303Whoever would have thought to see the day when the Poles would cheer the Russian troops marching through the streets of their own cities?
33303Why has Russia''s attitude hitherto, then, been, and for so long, one of rigid exclusion?
33303Why is this policy of vexatious exclusion so persistently followed?
33303Will this count for nothing after the war?
33303and Antropka answers,"Wha- a- a- at?"
33303how would they hope to knit up real and lasting ties, if their Church were not there?"
33303or beyond Siberia?
33303or"Does any one here speak German?"
15269Ah, grand prince, to what counselors have you lent your ear? 15269 Do you mean to say that it is threatened with paralysis?"
15269My good woman,said the tzar,"how do you know who I am?"
15269Ought not sovereigns,said the embassador,"to seek the glory of religion and the happiness of their subjects?
15269Think you that I fear to face this danger; or rather do you apprehend that I know not how to overcome it? 15269 What,"exclaimed Napoleon,"do you refuse to liberate the Russians, who were your allies, who were fighting in your ranks and under your commanders?
15269Where is my brother?
15269Why are you alarmed?
15269Why,said he,"should hostilities arise between France and Russia?
15269Yes, madam,Munich answered, in a manly tone;"could I do less for the prince who delivered me from captivity?
15269''How can I,''replied Sviatoslaf,''make a profession of this new religion, which will expose me to the ridicule of all my companions in arms?''
15269Am I in danger?"
15269And dare you raise your head against an elephant?
15269And who was Suwarrow?
15269Are you aware of this, or not?
15269Are you ignorant that the destiny of the universe is in my hands?
15269Are you willing, oh prince, to surrender Russia to fire and blood, your churches to pillage, your subjects to the sword of the enemy?
15269As soon as she perceived him she called aloud,"Field marshal, it was you, then, who wanted to fight me?"
15269But why should we not now see the accomplishment of this plan?
15269Can she deny that the right of self- preservation gives France a right to demand an equivalent in Europe?
15269Can she then complain that France possesses Belgium and the left banks of the Rhine?
15269Can the fulfillment of a vow which reason disapproves, be agreeable to God?
15269Do her affairs go on well?
15269Do you desire peace?
15269Do you not know that there is a document which names you presumptive heir?"
15269Do you say that the oath, taken by your ancestors, binds you not to raise your arms against the khan?
15269Do you wish to prosecute the war?
15269Does it not arise from complicity with England, that machinator of conspiracies against the power and the life of the First Consul?
15269From whence come these acts of violence?
15269Has it passed either of these limits?
15269Have I not reason to believe that should you survive me you will destroy all that I have accomplished?
15269Have you not opposed every thing I have done for the good of my people?
15269How can I suitably reward your glorious actions?
15269If Russia desires war, why does she not frankly say so, instead of endeavoring to secure that end indirectly?"
15269If, before these events, the power of the sultan inspired us with just fear, ought not this success of his arms to augment our apprehensions?"
15269In the country of what prince is the Turkish standard displayed?
15269Is it not better for me to die, if I may thus save the lives of my faithful subjects?"
15269Is not Russia engaged in similar conspiracies at Rome, at Dresden and at Paris?
15269Is the exhalation of an offensive odor the necessary property of a people imbruted by poverty and filth?
15269Observing that his wife was in tears he inquired,"Why do you weep?
15269On his return, his mother, who is represented as being quite frantic in her inconsolable grief, exclaimed,"Nicholas, what have you done?
15269On what did you rely?"
15269Or is the King of Prussia, as a tame spectator, to reap no advantage from the troubles in Poland and the Turkish war?
15269Should the Porte make such claims on any portion of the Russian dominions, would they not be repulsed?
15269Since you were of age have you ever aided your father in his toils?
15269The question,"Have we a Bourbon among us?"
15269The question,"Have we a Dmitri among us?"
15269The tzar indignantly inquires,"What title deed can the Turk show to the city of Constantine?"
15269They replied,"If the emperor will give us the treasure we demand, without our exposing ourselves to the perils of battle, what more can we ask?
15269Was it possible for me to place it in better hands?
15269What can be more proper for me now that I am at the very gates of the tomb?"
15269What heart is so insensible as not to be overwhelmed by the thought even of such a calamity?
15269What is the meaning of his late conferences with the Emperor of Germany?
15269What men, unworthy of the name of Christian, have given you such advice?
15269What northern power has the Porte offended?
15269What other asylum is there then for me but death?
15269What signify ancient or modern customs when all depends upon your royal will?
15269What will Europe say, in seeing that I do not carry it into effect?"
15269Who are you?
15269Who can be sure of victory?
15269Who can recollect without emotion the religious silence which reigned throughout the hall and galleries when the vote was put?
15269Who can tell on which side will be the victory?"
15269Who can tell the tears which have been shed, the blood which has flowed?
15269Who that saw that ceremony ever forgot its solemnity?
15269Who then shall we choose for our sovereign?
15269Whose territories have the Ottoman troops invaded?
15269Why do your game- keepers exclude us from the chase, and drive us from our own fields?
15269Why have you driven from Novgorod strangers who were living peaceably in the midst of us?
15269Why have you robbed others of their money?
15269Will you throw away your arms and shamefully take to flight?
15269Would you believe what I had to discuss with him?
15269Would you have allowed him thus to remain there had you not recognized him as the legitimate prince?"
15269[ 15] If I am willing to lay down my own life for Russia, do you think that I shall be willing to sacrifice my country for you?
15269can I not die with him?"
15269do you not know me?"
15269exclaimed Vladimir;"where is he to whom we are indebted for all this glory?"
16613How, otherwise, can we go home?
16613I hear your speeches, peasant comrades, and I no longer understand anything.... What is going on? 16613 In whose name do you order us, who are Delegates to the Peasants''Congress of All- Russia, to disperse?"
16613In whose name do you order us, who are Delegates to the Peasants''Congress of All- Russia, to disperse?
16613Is it a law? 16613 What?
16613Would you have us Russian proletarians fight in this war for England''s colonial interests?
16613Against the evils we struggle, but how?
16613And what will be the outcome of that?
16613And when they were asked,"Why do you do this?"
16613And when they were asked,"Why do you do this?"
16613But has the court anything to say about all these distinctions?
16613But how can we secure a strict unity of will?
16613But is it not equally criminal on the part of Serbs to refuse autonomy to Macedonia and to oppress smaller and weaker nations?
16613But we are of this side, and you are of the other.... Why?
16613But what if among these there should develop a purpose contrary to the purpose of the Bolsheviki?
16613By what forces have the Bolsheviki thus killed our country?
16613By what violence to reason and to language is the word_ democracy_ applied to the system described by Lenine?
16613Can the Bolsheviki guarantee that their road will lead us to the correct solution of the crisis?
16613Could the farmer ever be a genuine and sincere and trustworthy Socialist?
16613Did Lenine think of the actual consequences of his proposal to arrest several dozen capitalists at this time?
16613Does this mean that free Russia is a nation of rebellious slaves?"
16613He was asked what a"democratic"government should be, and replied:"I am asked,''What should a democratic government be?
16613How can there be a_ class_ movement unless the way is open to all the working class to participate?"
16613How could he, this wretched and oppressed peasant develop civic sentiments, a consciousness of his personal dignity?
16613How else, indeed, can their sincerity be demonstrated?
16613How many are simply victims of subtle neuroses occasioned by sex derangements, by religious chaos, and similar causes?
16613How shall we explain this phenomenon?
16613How will the situation be remedied?"
16613In fine, what is Bolshevism in its essence?
16613Is it not a law?
16613Is the journalist, for instance, engaged in useful and productive labor?
16613Is the novelist?
16613Is there no logical sense in the average radical''s mind?
16613Of whom will it be composed?
16613Revolutionary armies may fraternize, but with whom?
16613Send the revolutionary regiments from Petrograd?
16613Soon after the_ coup d''état_ of October the question was among all parties and all organizations:"What is to be done?
16613The Bolsheviki tried by every means to elude a straight answer to the question,"Does the Congress wish to uphold the Constituent Assembly?"
16613To make easier the surrender of the capital to the counter- revolution?"
16613Under what condition, then, can such a strong, democratic government be established?
16613Upon what ground is it decided that the"private merchant"may not vote?
16613Was it because he was inconsistent, vacillating, and weak that Kerensky attached his name to such a document?
16613Was it to bow down at the feet of Wilhelm that we overthrew Nicholas?
16613What could the socialization of the soil be to Lenine and all the Bolsheviki in general?
16613What did all this mean?
16613What did this failure signify?
16613What has it established?
16613What ruling class ever failed to make that claim?
16613What standard is to be established to determine what labor is"productive"and"useful"?
16613What will German victory bring to western Europe?
16613What will this Constituent Assembly be?
16613What, one wonders, do these American Bolsheviki worshipers think of the teaching of these paragraphs from an article by Lenine?
16613Who has separated us?
16613Why, then, have they dissolved the Constituent Assembly elected by the people?
16613Why, then, this governmental terror that is being used in a manner more cruel even than in the time of Czarism?
16613Why, therefore, may it not be continued indefinitely?
16613Will it recognize the power of the Soviets?_ Then came certain hypocritical"ifs."
16613_ Can we confide to such a Constituent Assembly the destinies of the Russian Revolution?
16613is the agitator?
60315And the revolution there?
60315But if even such small improvements had not resulted from the Revolution,I argued,"what purpose has it served?"
60315But what can the Government do in the face of the food shortage?
60315Do you expect to get the documents out?
60315Has the Revolution given you nothing?
60315Have not their tactics and methods been imposed on the Bolsheviki by intervention and blockade?
60315Instinctive Anarchists?
60315Is not the theft of flour the cause of the strict surveillance?
60315Is there a recreation room, a place where they can eat or drink their tea and inhale a bit of fresh air?
60315Protest, to whom?
60315These people come to Russia just to look us over,one of the Red Army men said;"do they know anything about us or are they interested in how we live?
60315Thousands of Russian working women have no more, and why should I?
60315We have been compelled to mobilize an army to fight our external enemies why not an army to fight our worst internal enemy, hunger? 60315 Well,_ batyushka_, how is it with you?"
60315What am I to do?
60315What do you mean by morally defective?
60315What is this?
60315Where do these unfortunates come from?
60315Why have n''t you raised your voice against these evils, against this machine that is sapping the life blood of the Revolution?
60315Why should they not see the true state of Russia? 60315 Would not the Tcheka prefer to confiscate the goods of the big delicatessen and fruit stores on the Kreschatik?"
60315You know of the insurgent movement in America against our public school method of education, the work done by Professor Dewey and others?
60315You surely do not mean the American public school system?
60315You want to know my views on the present situation and my attitude toward the Bolsheviki?
60315And Shatov?
60315And his scheme-- was it the Revolution?
60315And our children?
60315And then, was not Lenin also guilty of the same methods?
60315And who will rest in these homes?
60315But how can they get more work out of us?
60315But what is this strange writing on the wall?
60315But what was I to tell them, and would they believe me if I did?
60315But, then-- had not Zorin told me that capital punishment had been abolished in Russia?
60315Could such a condition of affairs be avoided in a revolutionary period and in a country so little developed industrially as Russia?
60315Did I"intend to remain a free bird"was one of his first questions, or would I be willing to join him in his work?
60315Did he not fear I would report him?
60315Did not Zorin say that capital punishment had been abolished?
60315Did the American woman believe in free motherhood and was she familiar with the subject of birth control?
60315Did you see any shortage of food there?
60315Do the visitors know anything about us?"
60315Free speech, free press, the spiritual achievements of centuries, what were they to this man?
60315Had I misunderstood the meaning and nature of revolution?
60315Had the Red Dawn broken into the narrow lives of these ascetics?
60315Had the Revolution penetrated even the walls of superstition?
60315How can they be blamed?
60315How could they be guilty of the terrible things charged against them?
60315How did these things get to the markets?
60315How explain this astonishing lack of response?
60315How soon will the Revolution be there?
60315How, then, could the Bolsheviki maintain themselves in power?
60315I had never called upon the police before, I informed him; why should I do so in revolutionary Russia?
60315If the Revolution really had to support so much brutality and crime, what was the purpose of the Revolution, after all?
60315Is that what you mean?"
60315Is there any change in the world?
60315Look at the bread,"he said, holding up a black crust;"can we live on that?
60315Occasionally they sought to mask their killings by pretending a"misunderstanding,"for does n''t the end justify all means?
60315One of his first questions was,"When could the Social Revolution be expected in America?"
60315Or is it all an eternal recurrence of man''s inhumanity to man?
60315Or was it the political machine which the Bolsheviki have created-- is that the force which is crushing the Revolution?
60315Or was their great need of European help father to their wish?
60315Was I to join this tragic procession, submit to the political yoke?
60315Was it different in America?
60315Was not violence inevitable in a revolution, and was it not imposed upon the Bolsheviki by the Interventionists?
60315Was their judgment so faulty because they had been cut off from Europe and America so long?
60315Were not initiative and freedom essential?
60315Were the conditions I found inevitable-- the callous indifference to human life, the terrorism, the waste and agony of it all?
60315Were these really nuns?
60315What about persecution and terror-- were all the horrors inevitable, or was there some fault in Bolshevism itself?
60315What are the Workers''and Peasants''Soviets doing?
60315What did it mean?
60315What except moral defection could result from such a heritage?"
60315What greater service could one render the Russian people?
60315What had happened?
60315What is the Communist Government doing for these unfortunates?
60315What relation could there be between Tammany Hall, Boss Murphy, and the Soviet Government?
60315What was his opinion?
60315What was that machine?
60315Who defeated Denikin and the other counter- revolutionary generals?
60315Who directed its movements?
60315Who else but the people, the peasants and the workers, made it impossible for the German and Austrian army to remain in the Ukraine?
60315Who triumphed over Koltchak and Yudenitch?
60315Who was buying the finery of the past, and where did the purchasing power come from?
60315Why are we kept here?"
60315Why be surprised now?"
60315Why did Zorin resort to lies?
60315Why did not Shatov come to meet us?
60315Why did you come to starving Russia?"
60315Why had he been silent so long?
60315Why should one have to give up his freedom, especially in educational work?
60315Why should they have to gather in secret and in such a place?
60315Why should they not learn how the Russian people live?"
60315Why this shooting?
60315Would I have believed any adverse criticism before I came to Russia?
60315Would he see me?
60315Would it ever come to Russia?
60315Would she see me?
60315Would the watchmaker take fifty pounds?
60315Would we join in the work?
60315Zinoviev, Radek, Zorin, Ravitch, and many others I had learned to know-- could they in the name of an ideal lie, defame, torture, kill?
60315is that what we made the Revolution for, or was it to do away with masters?
60315who is it calls for such a luxury?"
41495''And was she good?'' 41495 ''Do you strike at your own people, you devil''s whelp?''
41495''How now, my son? 41495 ''How shall we fight then,--with fists?''
41495''What are you doing?'' 41495 ''What was lacking to make him a true Cossack?''
41495And what great thing have_ you_ done?
41495To serve them?
41495We? 41495 What is that?"
41495What sort of fellow is your friend Bazarof?
41495Why so sad, brother?'' 41495 ''Are you in trouble?'' 41495 ''Is it well that such things should be brought to light?'' 41495 And all this for what? 41495 And how should he? 41495 And the poet Mikailof chides the revolutionaries with the words:Why not let your indignation speak, my brothers?
41495And what will foreigners say?
41495And where is the man?
41495And why should I not mock at you, I should like to know?''
41495And why the differences between French naturalism, the Russian_ natural school_, English and Spanish realism, and Italian_ verismo_?
41495Are the authors and critics the only ones responsible for this directive character of most Russian novels?
41495Are they any the less Realists for this?
41495As to Lermontof, is it not marvellous that a man who died at the age of twenty- six years should have produced anything like a novel?
41495But-- what can you do?
41495Could Gogol have been acquainted with the Tale of the Cid and the other Spanish Romanceros?
41495Did not the proclamation of the Czar read that they were free?
41495Did you say his boots?
41495Do not these words almost seem to describe the beginnings of Christianity in Rome?
41495Dost thou not feel thyself carried onward toward the unknown like this impetuous bird which nobody can overtake?
41495Doth the whirlwind sometimes nestle in their manes?
41495Had it not been for their omnipotent initiative, who knows if even now slavery would not stain the face of Europe?
41495Has any novel had any influence at all in Spanish political, social, or moral life?
41495Has the great writer died?
41495Has your hatred no power to threaten and to wound?"
41495Have your Polish friends been of much use to you?''
41495He sees a horse, and at once inquires,"When this animal dies, where will his spirit go?
41495If somebody were to kill her and use her fortune for the good of humanity, do you not think that a thousand good deeds would compensate for the crime?
41495In speaking of nihilism I have mentioned the most important one of the directive Russian novels, called"What to Do?"
41495Into the body of a man?"
41495Into the body of another horse?
41495Is it Malthusian pessimism which would refuse to provide any more subjects for despotism?
41495Is it a consequence of the theory which Schopenhauer preached, but did not practise?
41495Is it a manifestation of an idealist sentiment which is always present in revolutionary outbursts?
41495Is it a mistake to say that in this commonplace little episode there is more of poetry than in many elegies and innumerable sonnets?
41495Is it a result of the natural coldness of the Scythian?
41495Is it mere woman''s pride demanding for her sex liberty and franchises which she scorns to make use of?
41495Is it strange that the parishioner respects them but little?
41495Is it the lightning?
41495Is it the thunderbolt from heaven itself?
41495Is our horrible misfortune worthy of nothing more than a vain tribute of tears?
41495Is the goal which we desire to attain inaccessible?
41495Is there a single modern novel that is popular, in the true meaning of the word, among us?
41495Is this really true?
41495Is"War and Peace"a historical novel in the limited, archæological, false, and conventional conception?
41495Now, to begin, how did this much- discussed word originate?
41495Of what use then a mere smattering, which would be insufficient to give to my studies a positive character and an indisputable authority?
41495One asks,"Is everything gone up?"
41495The author wishes to solve the problem put by Herzen in the title to his novel,"Who is to blame?"
41495The driver?
41495The title is,"What to do?"
41495To begin with, is nihilism pure negation?
41495To what does the_ mir_ owe its vitality?
41495What artistic future awaits the young North American nation?
41495What cared they--"the little black men"--for the dignity of the freeman or the rights of citizenship?
41495What causes this movement of universal terror?
41495What have you done?
41495What man?
41495What must be the æsthetic and political determination of this race, which prefers the possession of the soil to the liberty of the individual?
41495What mysterious and incomprehensible force spurs on thy steeds?
41495What proportion does the artistic energy of England and Germany bear to their political strength?
41495What weight has a stupid, evil- minded old shrew in the social scale?
41495What?
41495Whence came the revolutionary element in Russia?
41495Where is there a person of nobler desires and projects than Alexander II.?
41495Wherefore, then, is he judged superior to the other classes of society?
41495Who can doubt the reflex action which the anonymous multitude exercises on eminent persons, when he contemplates the great Russian novelists?
41495Who can explain the causes of this diversity of destiny between the two branches that most resemble each other on this great tree?
41495Who can imagine a forum, an oracle, a tribune, in Russia?
41495Who ever heard of a satirist turning Church father?
41495Who has not sometimes entered a convent church on leaving a ball- room,--in the early morning hours of Ash- Wednesday, for instance?
41495Who has not sometimes experienced with terrible keenness what may be called the æsthetic effect of collectivity?
41495Who stops to see whether the life- preservers thrown to drowning men struggling with death are of elegant workmanship?
41495Why did he not go mad?
41495Why is love silent?
41495Why was romanticism so much the same in England, Germany, Spain, and Russia?
41495Your father?''
41495whither goest thou?
12328And do you believe in all this stuff?
12328Are you a pickled cabbage?
12328Are you sure?
12328But where did you see him last?--Where did he spend the summer?
12328But,said I,"what do you intend to do at the end of those five days?"
12328Do you know anything about that?
12328Does it work?
12328Does n''t that look like home?
12328GO TO SLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, WILL YOU?
12328Have you ever seen anything like it before?
12328How about the Atlantic cable?
12328It''s a capital song,Dodd replied reassuringly;"do you know any more American words?"
12328Makes what-- the reflection?
12328Shall I try to round to abreast of her?
12328That?
12328The sailors of a whaling- ship learned it to me when I was in Petropavlovsk, two years ago; is n''t it a good song?
12328Vwe kooda yáydetia?
12328We''re Gizhigintsi, also going to Penzhina; what you coming down the river for?
12328We''re going to Penzhina; who are you?
12328Well,replied the snowy figure standing waist- high in the drift.--"Amerikanski nyett dobra kaiur, eh?"
12328Well,said we expectantly, after a moment''s pause,"what does it taste like?"
12328Were they married?
12328What are those?
12328What are you doing in the middle of the road there?
12328What did he want that tippet for?
12328What do you suppose makes it?
12328What do you suppose that''s for?
12328What does he say?
12328What is it, anyhow?
12328What makes you think there''s anything the matter with it?
12328What ship is it?
12328What steamer is that lying at anchor beyond the_ Clara Bell_?
12328What''s that?
12328Where away?
12328Where did he get that coat and sword?
12328Where did you get that coat? 12328 Where did you learn?"
12328Where have you been all summer?
12328Where in the name of Chort did you come from?
12328Who are you?
12328Why did n''t you stop them?
12328--"At kooda?"
12328--"But what is she doing up here?"
12328--"Suppose he had_ not_ caught her there, then what?"
12328--"Where are you going?"
12328--"Where from?"
12328--"You do n''t suppose,"responded Viushin, with excited gestures,"that I''m going to stay in that hole and be eaten up by Korak dogs?
12328A sleepy grunt and a still more drowsy"Is it?"
12328A startled voice from under my feet demanded"Who''s there?"
12328And what time is it now?
12328Any news from St. Petersburg?
12328Are you just from America?
12328As soon as I could make my escape, I went to General Kukel and said:"Will you please tell me, Your Excellency, what''s the matter with my Russian?"
12328But how came people there?
12328But what are you doing up in this God- forsaken country?
12328Ca n''t you say something?
12328Could human impudence go farther?
12328Did Lucullus ever feast upon preserved rose- petals in his, vaunted pleasure- gardens of Tusculum?
12328Did we go to bed today?
12328Did you hear the cannon?"
12328Did you meet him?
12328Do n''t you see it?"
12328Do you really believe that these women talk in the Yakut language, which they have never heard, and describe things which they have never seen?"
12328During our stay in Petropavlovsk we succeeded in learning the Russian for"Yes,""No,"and"How do you do?"
12328Even if they were still in their old camp, however, how were we to find them?
12328Had he never wondered, as the fiery arms of the aurora waved over his head, what caused these mysterious streamers?
12328Had not some"--revealings faint and far, Stealing down from moon and star, Kindled in that human clod Thought of Destiny and God?"
12328Had our competitors beaten us, or was there still a fighting chance that we might beat them?
12328Has the universal Yankee got up here?"
12328Have you been shipwrecked?"
12328How did you cross the tundras; with the Koraks?
12328How does the come-_páss_ know anything about these accursed mountains?
12328How long will you stay in town?
12328How many_ pagánni_ rivers do we have to wade through in getting to this beastly village?"
12328I exclaimed impressively,"did n''t you teach me those very words yourself?"
12328I repeated in astonishment, never having heard of the disease in question;"what has the''Anadyrski bol''got to do with an old tippet?"
12328Impelled by hunger and cold, we repeated twenty times the despairing question,"How much farther is it?"
12328In a moment I heard Mr. Leet shouting down into the neck- hole of my fur coat,"What would our mothers say if they could see us now?"
12328Is my pronunciation so horribly bad?"
12328Mr. Kennan, is that you?
12328My acquirements in Russian were limited to"Yes,""No,"and"How do you do?"
12328My first question of course was,"Where''s Bush?"
12328Startled and bewildered with half- incredulous recognition, I could only reply,"Bush, is that you?"
12328Suddenly some one rose up from the floor at my feet, and, grasping me by the arm, exclaimed in a strangely familiar voice,"Kennan, is that you?"
12328The question was rather,"Where is the dance to be tonight?"
12328The unlucky( lucky?)
12328Then how many times does this one river run past this one settlement?"
12328Thwack?
12328Under such circumstances, what could be done?
12328Were these the principles of dog- driving which I had evolved out of the depths of my_ moral_ consciousness?
12328What bark is this?"
12328What could a poor Kamchatkan village do for the entertainment of its august master?
12328What did you run into that tree for?
12328What possessed you to come off to the ship such a night as this?"
12328What was such an unfortunate party to do?
12328What''s the matter with him now?"
12328Where''s the door?"
12328Who''s going to telegraph from here?"
12328With heart beating fast from excitement I sprang from my sledge, ran up to the_ pavoska_, and demanded in English,"Who is it?"
12328You do n''t mean to say that I''ve been swearing?"
12328You might not have found us here at all, and then where would you have been?"
12328[ Footnote: How do you do?]
12328[ he could not say Kennan] who''s a g''un to cook for ye, and ye ca n''t get no potatusses?"
12328asked the Major;"what''s his name?"
12328cried Heck to me,"or shall I go bang down on her?"
12328have n''t we got most to that_ con- found- ed_ Malqua yet?"
12328is the matter?"
12328of amazement, and asked with a wondering look,"Are_ all_ the women in your country as big as that at the bottom?"
12328or was it yesterday?
12328said Dodd in disgust;"where''s Meranef?"
12328shouted the ispravnik to our leading driver,"are you all ready?"
36505And what are the duties belonging to your place?
36505Do you know,said he to them,"that I have powder enough to blow up all your mountains?"
36505How did you obtain the rank of professor of natural philosophy?
36505Not work again, wo nt you? 36505 What can we do for thee?"
36505What on earth do you mean?
36505Where did you study?
36505''And how did you like Germany?''
36505''And what was this thing that stuck so in your stomach?''
36505''Well, then, Daddy(_ batiushka_),''said my puzzled and curious friend,''do tell me, what is it you are afoot for?''
36505''Where am I?''
36505''You, too,''she ejaculated,''you, too, have divorced yourself from the world, and why?
36505--"How many days do your peasants work?"
36505A handsome garden, a capital cook, books, a view of the sea-- what more could any one desire?
36505Among these ten arguments is there one tending to prove that they entertain any secret views?
36505And if they are expelled, whither can they retire?
36505And now let us ask what is the work which Russia is doing beyond the Caucasus for the advantage or detriment of mankind?
36505And now let us ask whence came those nomade people that preceded the modern Cossacks in the steppes of the Don and the Sea of Azov?
36505And suppose they have, how could they have preserved their lives without doing so?
36505And yet what is all this in reality?
36505Ay, why?''
36505Besides, if the Cossacks had really come from the Caucasus, would they not have retained some neighbourly relations with the mountaineers?
36505But might not the produce of a great part of Poland, and of all new Russia, be conveyed to Odessa by the Pruth, the Dniestr, and the Dniepr?
36505But the ceremony did not end there:_ Kooda barinya?
36505But the reader will say, is bigamy allowed among the Cossacks?
36505But was this what we had come to see?
36505But we were soon called back from all these charming phantoms of the imagination to the realities of life?
36505But what of that?
36505Can they have persuaded themselves that I would not stir to expel them?
36505Could Chereng alone have been able to persuade a whole nation?
36505Could he have put Oubacha and all the Torgouths, his subjects, in motion?
36505Could we even grace with the name of town the place where we then were and the streets we beheld?
36505Could we refuse such a man the parcels of coffee, tea, and sugar he had been so long soliciting with looks and hints?
36505Could we remain untouched by such conduct?
36505Driven to despair, would they not have rushed into the most violent excesses?
36505Have not we, too, an influence to keep up in Asia?
36505How could they protect themselves?
36505How could they secure the peace of those deserts?
36505How far has she been successful?
36505How will it be with it in a few years, when the canals and railroads projected in Germany, shall have been finished?
36505I exclaimed, in great indignation,"do we not pay eight rubles a day?"
36505Is it likely that Kasachia was more fortunate?
36505Is it not that of some expatriated Frenchman, who had found employment among the Russians?
36505Is it to be wondered that with such a military administration, Russia makes no progress in the Caucasus?
36505Is not this the history of many a Trappist or Carthusian?
36505Is the air of slavery so contagious that no one can breathe it without losing his personal dignity?
36505Is this intellectual insensibility the result of servitude exclusively?
36505Let any one look fairly and impartially at the immense region comprised between the Danube and the Caspian, and what will he behold?
36505Now can Russia, under existing circumstances, increase her chances of success?
36505On what bases then have the operations of the Odessa bank hitherto rested?
36505Shall I persuade myself that they are all submitted to me, and that they own themselves my vassals?
36505She was perfectly right, for, situated as the nobility are, who would dare to criticise and condemn their faults?
36505So it is with every thing else: what matters the substance if the form is beautiful and pleasing to the eye?"
36505Such instruments among the Kalmucks-- is it not really prodigious?
36505The fact being admitted, what is the position most favourable for these vast plans of aggrandisement?
36505There is nothing like their fatalism for enabling one to take all things as they come; is not that the acme of human wisdom?
36505Was Russia more fortunate at Cabul?
36505Was its motive one of a philanthropic kind?
36505We were ourselves very much puzzled to know what it meant, and jumping up from table we ran and saw-- what?
36505What are a divan, books, music, pictures, to the privileged being who has them always before him?
36505What are the destinies ultimately reserved for the Mussulman population of the Crimea,[83] now numbering barely 100,000 souls?
36505What breadth of land do they till for you?"
36505What can be expected of armies in which want of all necessaries and total disregard for the lives of men are the order of the day?
36505What description could adequately depict this marvellous spectacle, or even give an idea of it?
36505What did Negri and Mouravief effect at Khiva and Bokhara?
36505What follows?
36505What have they seen?
36505What is the result of this wretched corruption?
36505What is the use of such walls when there is no fear of being attacked by a neighbour?
36505What is the use of those vaulted passages without men- at- arms to fill them?
36505What may we conclude are the destinies in store for the Russian nobility, and what part will it play in the future history of the country?
36505What signify a few blows more or less, when a body is going to be roasted with the fiends?"
36505What then does the novice, who has perhaps carried off the prize of eloquence at the university?
36505What, then, are we to suppose is the origin of all those tribes who, under the name of Tatars, now inhabit the south of Russia?
36505Which is the more absurd of these two opinions?
36505Who can fail to recognise the Biblical allegory in the fruit_ shimé_, which the first men were imprudent enough to taste?
36505Who would have supplied them with the means of existence?
36505Will the government at last open its eyes to the mischiefs of the course it is pursuing?
36505Will you be my first disciple?''
36505Would any one suppose they were not the produce of the Indian Ocean?
36505Would it not be wronging creation, as Lamartine has said, to compare Constantinople with any thing else in this world?
36505Would you ask the shrub broken by the storm why the breath of spring does not reanimate its mutilated form?
36505cries the overseer,"have you lost your wits, and do n''t you know that you ought to have been at work hours ago?"
36505exclaimed a Russian who was present,"your estate yields you but 10,000 rubles a- year?
36505kooda barinya?_( where is madame),_ nadlegit_( it must be so), and so I was forced to come among them and receive my share of the eggs and embraces.
36505of what combats, feuds, loves, and revenges have they been witnesses?
36505said the puzzled overseer;"what has happened to you to make you talk such nonsense?"
36505what''s all this?"
18165''How could I send you on an errand?'' 18165 And so punish herself for the fault of others, perhaps?"
18165And what can one have?
18165Are you a good walker?
18165But how am I to do that? 18165 But suppose the man is lazy, or wants to get his work done while he is idling, enjoying himself, or earning money elsewhere for_ vodka_ or what not?
18165But what is one to do? 18165 But why has my application been refused?"
18165But will they let me have it?
18165Come, do n''t you think it is worth a few kopeks to be called''a pearl,''''a diamond,''''an emerald''?
18165Could he read? 18165 Did he know Count Tolstoy?
18165Do you really let people have these forbidden books?
18165Do you suppose that God, who knows all things, does not know our table of ranks?
18165England, then?
18165Even bread must have yeast; and if we all make ourselves exactly alike, who is to act as yeast? 18165 France?"
18165Have you any recollection of Martin Chuzzlewit? 18165 Have you ever read The''Power of Darkness''?
18165Have you ever visited a church of the Old Believers?
18165How had they affected him? 18165 How many can I have on this petition?"
18165How many copies of the''Century''? 18165 How so?"
18165Hungary?
18165In what room shall I find the Ladies''Artistic Circle?
18165Is America near Berlin?
18165Is it Germany?
18165Is that allowed?
18165Is the captain''s signature worth so much?
18165Is there no other meat?
18165Is_ that_ all they called you?
18165My woman''s reputation for neat mending trembles in the balance; and do not you advocate the theory that we should help our fellow- men? 18165 No, no; how many periodical publications would you like?"
18165Ought not every person to do as much as possible for himself, and not call upon others unless compelled to do so?
18165Surely,I said,"you do not think that the earth is flat, and that we live on the upper side, and you on the lower?"
18165Then where is the police office or the address office?
18165To whom? 18165 Uncut?"
18165Very true; and St. Sergius drives with three, and St. Pantaleimon with two,--do they not? 18165 Was he a more honest man than before?
18165Was that Vasily Dmitrich?
18165What author? 18165 What do you do when you have not the chance?"
18165What harm is there in comfort and luxury to any extent,I asked,"provided that all enjoy it?"
18165What, have you no kerchief?
18165Where do you come from?
18165Where''s your cake?
18165Which are your passports?
18165Which,I asked,"is the real miraculous Iversky Virgin?--the one in the chapel, the one who rides in the carriage, or the original on Mount Athos?"
18165Whither is he going?
18165Who would have expected such smoothness of motion from such an inferior- looking old craft?
18165Whom was he saluting?
18165Why did n''t you send me word earlier?
18165Why do n''t you go on up that street?
18165Why make us waste all that time in beautiful Moscow? 18165 Why not?
18165Why not? 18165 Why was not this application granted?"
18165Why? 18165 Will-- they-- let-- you-- have-- it-- when-- I-- say-- so?"
18165''* Was there any other title which they could have bestowed on me for the money?"
18165''And we''re old, old friends, are n''t we, barynya?
18165''She drove on the Nevsky with me long before she ever saw you; did n''t you,_ barynya_?
18165And besides, if the fellow- man obstinately refuses to be helped by others, how are we to do our duty by him?
18165And how about the Shaker men?
18165And how are people to get about, how are burdens to be carried, how is the day long enough, if one goes everywhere on foot?
18165And the Russian churches?
18165And what are cabmen for, then?
18165And why not?
18165And, in the mean while, tell me what has inspired you with the taste to dress like a peasant?"
18165Are the Shaker women, of whom you approve, also to invent crosses?
18165Are the horses to be left to people the earth, along with the animals which we now eat and which we must give up eating?"
18165Are we to adopt all vices of the lower classes?
18165Are you sure the parcel is for me?"
18165Ask a resident, whether prince or peasant,"How many churches are there in''Holy Moscow town''?"
18165But suppose I were to ask it?"
18165Can not the priest find sponsors for you?"
18165Count Tolstoy''s latest book at that time was"What to Do?"
18165Did I mean the little books with the colored covers and the pictures on the outside?"
18165Did any of you think to buy a cake for her?
18165Did n''t you eat it?
18165Did they recognize the count?
18165Did you ever see an acrobat try that trick?
18165Do n''t you see that there are only four horses?"
18165Do n''t you think that the author supports me?"
18165Do you get it?
18165Do you want four-- six-- eight?
18165Does it matter about the form or the language?
18165Had I been rightly informed, or ought I to have gone to them in spite of warning?
18165Had he read the count''s''Tales''?"
18165Had such a need arisen?
18165He insisted that it was wrong, inconsistent, in the same strain as he discusses the subject of his writings in"What to Do?"
18165How are foreigners, who pride themselves on never giving more than the value of an article, to protect themselves?
18165How can I present a picture of all the variations in those sweet, busy- idle days?
18165How could any one have the conscience to rob an honest, innocent man like you so dreadfully?"
18165How could you work for others, if they persisted in following out the other half of your doctrine and doing everything for themselves?
18165How?"
18165I am quite sure,"he added,"that I need not explain to you, though you are a foreigner, where the Hours and the Sacrament come in the service?"
18165I asked him how he would get along without knowing the language?
18165I asked,"Did he know Count Tolstoy?"
18165I confess that I should have liked to be present at this bit of-- surgery, shall I call it?
18165If no one wanted those documents, what were_ we_ to do with them?
18165Is n''t it pretty soon?''
18165Is the captain''s signature worth so little?
18165Is the likeness very strong?"
18165No pocket of any sex would tolerate them, and we had been given to understand by veracious(?)
18165Roofs improvised from scraps of canvas protect the delicate(?)
18165Shall I be believed if I say that I found it in custom- house officers and gendarmes?
18165She argued that some one, the publisher at least, would make money out of it; then why not let his own family have the profit, as was just?
18165She had not been there ten minutes before she began to ask:''When does the Sacrament come?
18165So I proceeded to inquire,"What will a peasant do in case of an execution?"
18165Tell me, which of them all would you ask to visit you, if you wished a blessing?"
18165The answer invariably is,"Who knows?
18165The burden of it was:"Why?
18165The scene of that play is laid on the banks of the Volga, in just such a garden; why should it not have been on this spot?
18165This was the crazy Balakhin mentioned in"What to Do?"
18165Wear them as breastplates( folded), or as garments( full size)?
18165What did Yakoff Petrovitch mean by telling me that a plain street gown was the proper thing to wear?
18165What is the remedy for this state of things?
18165What is their duty in the matter of invoking suffering?"
18165What testimony?"
18165What would you like?"
18165What, then, in your opinion, should a woman who has missed that fate do?"
18165When we reached the point where the name of the publication was to be inserted, he paused to ask:"How many would you like?"
18165Whereabouts are we, and how much have we missed?"
18165Why should he wish to do that, really, even if they were not Orthodox?
18165Why the twenty- five kopeks?
18165Why was it thus with them, and not with us?
18165Why?"
18165Will it be believed?
18165_ Why_ did n''t you eat it?"
18165why should n''t I?"
46242And how many polks are in a division?
46242And then the bad weather will set in; and, with sogers aboord, I''d like to know what we can do?
46242And those ships in Balaklava?
46242Are we in the Redan?
46242But why so?
46242Could they not have got away?
46242Have you not got your bayonets?
46242How are our fellows getting on?
46242How many rotas are in a polk?
46242I can live like a duke here-- I can smoke my cigar, and drink my glass of wine, and what could a duke do more?
46242If that is so, why have you 31 on your buttons?
46242No, what was it?
46242Shindy, was there? 46242 So they''re all gone?"
46242The leg of mutton, and look sharp, do you hear? 46242 The wawt, zur?"
46242Then you have n''t got anything to sell now?
46242What Colonel?
46242What are you waiting here for?
46242What does a rota mean?
46242What does the number 31 on your buttons mean?
46242What does the number 7 on your cap, with P after it, mean?
46242What then?
46242Where are all these horses going to?
46242Who are those officers in blue, with grey, yellow, and red facing''s-- apparently men of rank, with stars and crowns and lace on their collars?
46242Who commands it?
46242Who''s that drunken fellow-- an old soldier in the odd uniform, with medals on his breast?
46242Why, dear me, sir, do n''t you know those are harmless civilians, who neither wish to shoot any one or to be shot at themselves? 46242 Will it answer, if he takes on himself the responsibility?"
46242_ We have n''t any._"Have you any medicine for fever? 46242 --And what are the Allies doing?"
46242And can the country now heal the wound in that proud spirit?
46242And what were we doing?
46242Are you likely to be in a better state two hours hence, and, above all, where are the men to live in the meantime?"
46242Are"pigs"a national institution, to be maintained at any cost?
46242But was the plan of battle good?
46242But what was that grey mass on the plain, which seemed settled down upon it almost without life or motion?
46242But who were the devastators?
46242But why not?
46242But why were they in tents?
46242By the beard of the Prophet, for the sake of your father''s father, tell me, O English Lord, how is it?
46242Can any one tell us why the army was_ compelled_ to eat salt pork?
46242Can anything be more suggestive of county magistracy and poor- laws, and order and peace, than stone- breaking?
46242Can you let me have any medicines?"
46242Could that bloody mass of clothing and white bones ever have been a human being, or that burnt black mass of flesh have ever held a human soul?
46242Did any one want to find General Canrobert?
46242Did he?
46242Do people at home know how many bayonets the British army could muster?
46242Do they believe we had 25,000, after all our reinforcements?
46242Do they tell lies?"
46242Does the reader wonder why we were all so fond of jam?
46242For the question is, in whose hand lies the power of releasing one or more of the parties from all or any of these stipulations?
46242Has the army here, the lines of trenches, and Sebastopol itself, gone clean off the face of the earth?
46242He said in a quiet voice,"Will any one be kind enough to lift me off my horse?"
46242How else was it that we seldom found either dead or wounded officers on the ground?
46242If a benighted Turk, riding homewards, was encountered by a picquet of the Light Division, he answered the challenge of"Who goes there?"
46242If it resulted from their position on our right, why did they take the left when we halted before Sebastopol?
46242Indeed, one officer said to another, as soon as he recovered breath and could speak,"I say, that''s a nice sort of thing, is it not?
46242Is it to be understood that English military surgeons are not entitled to any honorary reward?
46242Is it true that England gives them reason for indulging in their notorious tendencies?
46242Is the flesh of the bull a part of the constitution?
46242Is there nothing to be done?
46242Is this enchantment?
46242No decorations?
46242No order of merit?
46242No recognition of their services?
46242Now, good Public, do you know what one ration consists of?
46242Now, is it the Horse- Guards which enforces all this scrivenery?
46242Of what use were they perpetually_ in transitu_ between Eupatoria and the Col of Balaklava, or on the tramp between Kamara and Phoros?
46242Oh, why is this, Chelebee?
46242One officer asked a private confidentially in English how many men we sent into the trenches?
46242One stout elderly Russian of rank asked one of our officers,"How are you off for food?"
46242Shall I state how many returned?
46242Some of them asked our officers"when we were coming in to take the place?"
46242Still what was to be done?
46242Taxes!--what is the man talking about?
46242The Colonel dipped his hand into the bag, took out a small parcel, and said,"John Smith, you were Alma, Balaklava, and Inkerman?"
46242The Russians challenged,"Qui va là?"
46242The Staff- officer says that"the army was under arms soon after 6 A.M., and on the move"Where?--a mile or two too much inland?
46242The report of a gun rings through the woods and covers, and an honest English shout of"What have you hit, Jack?"
46242The wounded, did I say?
46242The_ Emperor_ then signalled--"What do you mean?"
46242Then, why did not the English move?
46242Three hours passed!--Where on earth can I be?
46242Was he a Dolon or not?
46242Was it old Turenne who said,"More battles were won by the spade than by the musket?"
46242Was not that"confounded Naval Brigade, that gets all the praise,"an eyesore and a stumbling- block to the ill- used Siege Train?
46242Well might a Turkish boatman ask,"Oh, why is this?
46242Were not planks better than scaling- ladders?
46242Were not the Infantry tickled with ironical mirth at the notion that the Cavalry had done anything?
46242Were we five hours marching six miles?
46242What Engineer had recovered the mortal wounds inflicted on him by lazy soldiers who would not work in the trenches?
46242What do you think I''ll get for them?"
46242What good had we done by all this expenditure of shot, and shell, and powder?
46242What is to be done?
46242What man of the Line or Guards was not"down"on the Engineers?
46242What on earth could he think of them?
46242What shall be said if much of that cost can be shown to have been a gratuitous outlay of time and money?
46242What was to be done?
46242What were we doing for five hours?
46242What would old Benbow or grim old Cloudesley Shovell have thought of it all?
46242When Lord Lucan received the order from Captain Nolan, and had read it, he asked, we are told,"Where are we to advance to?"
46242Where at this period was the English post- office?
46242Where did the English general live?
46242Where was the hospital for sick soldiers?
46242Where were the huts which had been sent out to them?
46242Where were the offerings of our kind country- men and country- women, and the donations from our ducal parks?
46242Where were the supports?
46242Where''s the bugler to call them back?"
46242Who can tell how many lives were wasted which ought to have been saved to the country, to friends, to an honoured old age?
46242Who could have hoaxed them so cruelly?
46242Who told the Russians what the intentions of our chiefs were?
46242Who will not look with respect on the tombs of these poor soldiers, and who does not feel envy for the lot of men so honoured?
46242Who will venture to publish our despatches?
46242Who would let the inmates of that desolate cottage in Picardy, or Gascony, or Anjou, know of their bereavement?
46242Why could not Government have been a little more liberal in the matter of candles?
46242Why not let him have a decoration, were it only a bit of iron with the words''Trenches before Sebastopol''engraved upon it?
46242Why should not vacancies in regiments out here be filled up from regiments stationed elsewhere?
46242Why was Kars allowed to fall, and why was Omar Pasha sent to Asia Minor so late in the year?"
46242Why was this the only meat except beef that was served out?
46242Would it have been possible to have concealed and slurred over our failures?
46242You do n''t mean to say you did n''t hear it?"
46242[ 9] It seems to have been a sort of passion with the French to be"the first"to do everything-- or was it a passion with our generals to be second?
46242[ Sidenote: WAS IT THE CZAR?]
46242_ Suppositos incedimus ignes._ What part of the camp was safe after such a catastrophe?
46242a felt helmet with a spike in it and brass binding-- a red frock with black braid-- a big horse-- a cavalry man, eh?"
46242and can such an arrangement be binding when the public good demands a different course?
46242here''s another-- what''s he?
46242is there a theatrical company here?
46242others"when we thought of going away?"
46242wo n''t you come and relieve the young officer?"
11980''And what is your doctrine?'' 11980 ''How then did you escape?''
11980''How?'' 11980 ''Is that not so?''
11980''No money?'' 11980 ''What did you say?''
11980''What happens to me when I die?'' 11980 ''What is this?''
11980''What lie is this?'' 11980 ''Where are we going?''
11980''Who under heaven were these people?'' 11980 ''Would you like to buy a little wooden hut and some land?''
11980And Death?
11980And five hundred thousand roubles?
11980And the Japanese?
11980And you''ve been happy ever since?
11980And you?
11980Are we going?
11980Are you a beggar or a customer?
11980But how big would it be?
11980Can you put me up for the night?
11980Did you believe him?
11980Did you sleep well at the tavern?
11980HAVE YOU A LIGHT HAND?
11980Have you not realised that we have more than our share of the sun? 11980 Have you pilgrims then?"
11980How did you come to think so seriously of life?
11980How goes the war?
11980How much the kerosinka?
11980How much would you pay for such soup in Yalta, and with beef at fivepence a pound, too?
11980Is Italy losing?
11980Is it possible there is a child down by the waves?
11980Is not the sea the very peacock of peacocks?
11980May I spend the night here?
11980Oh, how came you to hit on that expression? 11980 On what star did you begin?
11980Ten miles, and two horses at a penny per horse per mile; is n''t that correct?
11980The old woman?
11980Was she evicted?
11980What do you mean?
11980What do you want?
11980What fairs?
11980What now?
11980What size pictures would one buy for fifty roubles?
11980What size would one be that cost five thousand roubles?
11980What woman was this?
11980What_ do_ you mean?
11980Where, grandfather?
11980Who could have expected that to be waiting outside for you? 11980 Who is there?"
11980Who knows,they say,"but that we are the descendants of kings?
11980Who was Socrates?
11980Why sleep outside when man is ready to receive you?
11980Why, do n''t you know?
11980Would they?
11980You understand?
11980Your letters of identification?
11980''Am I already saved?''
11980''And who might you be?''
11980''And_ you_ use words, do you not?
11980''But where shall I go when I die?
11980''Fifty roubles?''
11980''How do you dare to confuse labour and prayer?
11980''How is it you''re here?''
11980''What do you ask for it?''
11980''Whence comes man?''
11980''Where does he go?
11980A storm?
11980And are we not all brothers?
11980And some would say,"Is n''t she coming on?"
11980And the reply of the angel sadder still,''Did you not know that life itself was a reward, a glory?''"
11980And the tramp asks himself as he lies full length on the earth and looks up at the stars-- are you a yea- sayer?
11980Are you not glad for all these impressions, these pictures and songs and perfumes?
11980Besides, was there not the tavern close by?
11980But how?
11980But no, if he is one of us, why does he come clothed like a common man?
11980But what am I saying?
11980But what of the young who must of necessity go back?
11980But what then?
11980Can you answer it?
11980Can_ you_ tell me?
11980Did any one want soup?
11980Did he sleep, did he dream?
11980Do you mean it was the same woman who buried him?"
11980Do you raise your face in wonder to the beauty of the world?
11980Do you remember always the mystery and wonder that is in your fellow- man whom you meet upon the road?
11980Do you say"Yes"to life?
11980Do you stand with bare feet in sacred places?
11980Does the wanderer love all things?
11980Give it to the horses; a penny a mile for a horse, and how about the man, the cart, the harness?
11980Had some family lived there and all died out?
11980How can she lose?"
11980How can we go back and live the dull round again?
11980How could I be mother to fifty?
11980How did he guess my need so well?
11980How did people know?
11980How long have you been upon the road, when did you set out, where is your home and why did you leave it?"
11980If not, then how do you use your words?''
11980In a minute a little boy in a red shirt and a grey sheepskin hat came careering towards me, and called out:"Do you want a place to sleep?
11980Is it possible we shall be stricken with woe, or immensely uplifted in joy because of the falling of a die?
11980Is it too much?''
11980Is not the world''s place under our feet, for it is of earth and we of spirit?''
11980Is not this the same which you profess?''
11980Is there a way out for them?
11980Is there a way out for_ her_?
11980It has been urged,"You are unpracticable; you want a world of tramps-- how are you going to live?"
11980Nevertheless we ask, standing without the gates of the sleeping city of winter,"Who of ye within the city are stepping forth unto the new adventure?"
11980Several days I have looked at that bedstead and thought,''What the devil is that skeleton?
11980Shall we not be as Lazarus is depicted in Browning''s story of him, spoiled for earth, having seen heaven?
11980The Russian at home calls the returned pilgrim_ polu- svatoe_, a half- saint: does that perhaps mean that life is spoilt for him?
11980The boy, all excitement, danced up to me and said,"Have you a light hand?
11980The elder brother would probably refuse hospitality, saying,"You are not even my sinning brother, and shall I harbour_ you_?"
11980They say to me lightly,''Your coach was a dream,''and I answer,''If so, then what before the dream?''"
11980To- morrow... who could say what to- morrow would unfold?
11980V THE QUESTION OF THE SCEPTIC"That''s all very well, but do n''t you often get bored?"
11980V"HAVE YOU A LIGHT HAND?"
11980V. HIS CONVERSION"''But your religion?''
11980VII THE MESSAGE FROM THE HERMIT The question remains,"Who is the tramp?"
11980Was it a remembrance of the time before my entering into the coach?
11980Was it some one else''s shelter?
11980Was the house haunted?
11980We cry inconsolably like lost children,''Oh, ye Gods, have ye forgotten us?
11980What chance had fresh life coming into the tainted air of this stricken city-- this city where provision is made only for the unhealthy?
11980What do all these people and this black city want to make of_ her_?
11980What do you mean by religion?''
11980What do you mean?"
11980What does it profit man that mankind goes on?
11980What does the life of the human race mean?''
11980What if the wish were father to the thought?
11980What if this conception be narrow, what if it be simply a generalisation, a generalisation from too few observations?
11980What is a bachelor to do?
11980What other narcotics have you, sleep- inducing?''
11980What remains to be said?
11980What shall I be?''
11980What should I want with a little wooden hut?''
11980What then does the wanderer note?
11980What was I?
11980What was that something?
11980What were we going to do when we got there, seeing that we had been to Jerusalem?
11980What''s this?"
11980When will that people wake up, eh?"
11980Whence?
11980Where are the thirty pieces of silver now?
11980Where are they not?
11980Where was I before I was born?''
11980Whither?''
11980Who even hopes to be happy?
11980Who is it who cometh as a thief in the night?"
11980Who is the walking person seen from the vantage ground of these pages?
11980Who was I?
11980Why ask?
11980Why do you deny your brothers so?
11980Why is that?
11980Will you look on then and smile?"
11980Will you take the post?''
11980Would it reach me?
11980You are going southward?
11980You said you slept in the fields, eh?
11980and Shylock asks with true Jewish commercialism,"On what compulsion must I, tell me that?"
11980or"Is n''t she developing?"
43680And what are we going to do? 43680 At home, where is that strong authority for which the whole country is craving?
43680But why speak of mothers, of orphaned children? 43680 Have you applied for admission to the Revolutionary Battalion?"
43680How shall we drive? 43680 How will you decide?
43680How?
43680Is this your last word?
43680May I come in?
43680Wait a bit, my friend,boomed Yassny,"was it not you that came in to- day with the new lot... you were carrying a large placard?
43680Well,he said,"if such are the orders, what''s to be done?"
43680What is the meaning of this? 43680 What is your Company, I ask you?"
43680What is your Company?
43680What the devil does this mean? 43680 What will things be afterwards?"
43680What? 43680 When will there be an end to all this?
43680Where is the love of country, where is patriotism? 43680 Will you quail now?
43680You? 43680 [ 64] What could I bring the men?
43680''Could the Armies resist an organised German offensive in their present condition, numerical and technical?''
43680''What is the reason?
43680( a prayer in which the Emperor was mentioned)?
43680***** Afterwards?
43680***** What place did the Stavka occupy as a military and political factor of the Revolutionary period?
43680***** What, then, were these Army Organisations doing that were supposed to reconstruct"the freest Army in the world"?
43680A great statesman and military leader had thus left the stage, whose virtue-- one of many-- was his implicit loyalty( or was it a defect?)
43680A tall, stout soldier ascended the platform, and began speaking in a loud, hysterical voice:"Comrades, you have heard?
43680Albov, have you not yet thought of suicide?"
43680Alexeiev said:"Do I not give you a full share of the work?
43680An animated conversation began on the usual anxious themes: how did matters stand with the land; would peace be concluded soon?
43680And if not-- was it to be War?
43680And we, who along with you have now carried our heavy cross into the fourth year of the War-- we are now to be regarded as your enemies?
43680Are you ready for the advance and are you certain to be successful?
43680Bearing in mind the ample material collected by the Stavka, Vinnichenko''s half- hearted confession to a French correspondent(?)
43680Brussilov sometimes interrupted me and said with strong feeling:"Do you think that I am not disgusted at having constantly to wave the Red rag?
43680But we, are we entitled not only to encourage them, but to take upon ourselves the decision?"
43680But why did two or three thousand orthodox Russians, bred in the mystic rites of their faith, remain indifferent to such a sacrilege?
43680But, most of all, with what words can one move men to face death when all their feelings are veiled by one feeling-- that of self- preservation?
43680But_ over there_, was there an actual chance, or was everything being done in heroic desperation?
43680Can it be that the Russian soldier is capable of informing the enemy of my arrival at the position?''
43680Could n''t they be rung up?"
43680Could such a one sell himself?
43680Could the Revolution give new birth to men or make them perfect?
43680Did the_ cadres_ of the Commanding Officers really improve?
43680Do you understand?"
43680Does it hurt you much?
43680Dost thou hear the whisper on their lips, from which thou hast driven the smile of joy for evermore?
43680For two months I had worked like a slave and my outlook had widened, but had I achieved anything for the preservation of the Army?
43680For whom should we pray at Divine Service?
43680From whom?
43680Good Heavens, what was the matter with these men, with the reasonable creature of God, with the Russian field- labourer?
43680Have not these ideas left somewhat too deep traces in the minds, not so much perhaps of the popular masses as of their leaders?
43680He glanced through a loop- hole and, starting back, asked nervously:"What is that?"
43680He was dismissed by the Army Commander, and afterwards expressed to me his sincere astonishment:"Why had he been dismissed?
43680How can I appeal to the soldiers to continue the War and to stay at the Front?"
43680How can business be done when the Soviet and the licentious soldiery hold the Government pinioned?
43680How could a real soldier, appealing to the sense of duty, to obedience and to a struggle for the Mother Country, compete with such demagogues?
43680How have they dared to appoint him without my knowledge?"
43680How many inconsolable mothers hast thou left?
43680How many orphans hast thou made?
43680I hope that you will back me?"
43680I hope you will understand this?
43680I lay, covered head and all by my cloak and, under a shower of oaths, tried to see things clearly:"What have I done to deserve this?"
43680I turned to Markov:"What, my dear Professor, is this the end?"
43680In April and May of 1917, in spite of our victory(?)
43680In the course of a subsequent talk I had with one of the men, he said to me:"If there are to be no annexations, why do we want that hill top?"
43680Is it because that, of the officers who led you in the beginning, there is not one left in the regiment who is not maimed?"
43680Is it because we never sent you into action, but led you, bestrewing with officers''corpses the whole of the path covered by the regiment?
43680Is it possible that we may now abandon the Allied cause and be false to our obligations?
43680Is it the temporary Committee which created the Provisional Government, or is it the latter?
43680Is it to be an offensive or a defensive campaign?
43680Is that not the limit?
43680Is this ignorance or triviality?
43680Kerensky hesitated, but what about the support of the Commissars and Committees?
43680Look here, Albov, you are not in a hurry, are you?
43680Need we adduce further proofs?
43680Now, General, may I rely on your support?"
43680Of course, in so far as that Government submits to the will of the Soviets?...
43680Perhaps you would like me to go for the doctor?"
43680Savinkov''s persistent advice?
43680Somebody asked Dragomirov:"How long do you think the war will last?"
43680The oppressive isolation felt by the Minister of War after the conference of July 16th?
43680The police( Militia?
43680The question arises-- Is the Chancellor capable of solving them?
43680The question was, when would it stop and upon whose head would it fall?
43680The world has condemned them; but are all those who speak of the matter so unanimous and sincere in their condemnation?
43680Then he remarked:"''Do you feel all the nightmare horror of this silence?
43680Then why do n''t you thrust the bayonet into me?
43680To make his exit from life?
43680Trotsky explained this contradiction by saying that, owing to constant re- elections, the Soviets reflected the true(?)
43680Was a mechanical change of personnel capable of killing a system which for many years had weakened the impulse for work and for self- improvement?
43680Was it not for the War Ministry to hasten the death by a resolute and hopeless surgical operation?"
43680Was it possible to combat this unconcealed care for their own safety?
43680Was it, perhaps, that he used the wrong words, or was not able to say what he meant?
43680Was that playing the part of a Don Quixote?
43680Was the Central Committee of the Soviet invested with actual power?
43680Was the oath a sham?
43680Was work in common possible in these circumstances?
43680We were thus confronted with a crucial question: SHOULD THE RUSSIAN ARMY ADVANCE?
43680Were the conscious leaders of the Soviet really convinced that such a danger existed, or were they fanning this unfounded fear as a tactical move?
43680What are you about, Lieutenant?"
43680What can I do?
43680What can you do?
43680What does it matter that the masses of the Army accepted the new order and the new Constitution sincerely, honestly and with enthusiasm?
43680What had become of the former animation, friendly talk, healthy laughter and torrents of reminiscences of a stormy, hard, but glorious life of war?
43680What happened?
43680What have I done to them?
43680What if the advance were to disclose our impotence?
43680What is it all about?
43680What is the Government going to do?
43680What methods did the Democracy have recourse to?
43680What more could I tell them?
43680What of the famous"Freedom from Bondage"of the soldier?
43680What province are you from?"
43680What should I say to the officers, sorrowfully and patiently awaiting the end of the regular and merciless lingering death of the Army?
43680What then?
43680What was that?
43680What was the condition of the Russian Army at the outbreak of the Revolution?
43680What was the impression produced by that fateful Order?
43680What was the result?
43680What would happen were there no Soviet?
43680What would the future bring?
43680What, then, was the effect of the Mother Country idea upon the conscience of the old Army?
43680When have you had time to get worn out, poor fellow?"
43680Whence?
43680Where do these men get so much brutality, so much baseness?"
43680Where is that powerful authority which would force every citizen to do his duty honestly by the Motherland?
43680Whether it was a German one or whether our own people did not recognise him-- who knows?"
43680Who knows?
43680Who were the members of the Committees?
43680Why should we allow ourselves to be maimed?"
43680Why?
43680Will it be possible to level the same accusation against you?
43680Will it find enough strength and boldness to burst the fetters placed on it by the Bolshevistic Soviet?
43680Will the Russian Army allow this to happen?
43680Will the Russian people remain steadfast, or will the Defeatist tendencies prevail?
43680Will the torrent swell?
43680Will we not thrust this insolent foe out of our country and let the diplomatists conclude peace afterwards, with annexations or without them?
43680Will you kindly restore it?
43680Would it not appear that had the order been changed in which the links had stood in that chain salvation might have ensued?
43680Would you come to the door, enemy machine- guns permitting?"
43680Would you then agree to work with me again?"
43680You had better report it or else, who knows?"
43680You?
43680force every citizen to do his duty honestly by the Motherland?
43680force every citizen to do his duty honestly by the Motherland?"
56772And a constitution would change nothing of this?
56772And all that is done by Plehve?
56772And are not these conservative students dangerous to their fellows?
56772And can your press do nothing to better this general corruption?
56772And does no one succeed in representing to him conditions as they are?
56772And has that occurred?
56772And if he does know it? 56772 And intelligent business men believe that?"
56772And is not that true?
56772And is there no possibility of organizing the revolution so that it shall not rage senselessly?
56772And no one is angry at open injustice?
56772And so your highness can see no deliverance?
56772And this other régime?
56772And what becomes, then, of the millions that our ministry of finance is spending to secure good will in the papers towards our finances?
56772And what do you mean by''camarilla''?
56772And what is the substance of your wishes, to put it into a very few words?
56772And what was the purpose of it?
56772And what, in your excellency''s opinion, should be done to help the country?
56772And who will succeed him?
56772And why is nothing done for the uplifting of his economic insight?
56772And would the country really be helped thereby?
56772And you consider the next generation to be thoroughly impregnated with ideas of independence?
56772Are not the police sufficient to maintain order?
56772Are the professors sufficiently in sympathy with each other for the formation of a university esprit de corps?
56772Are there prospects of this concession?
56772Are you really going to Russia?
56772At what conventions?
56772Believe it? 56772 But could not Sänger defend his measures?"
56772But from what do the special student disturbances about which we hear so much proceed? 56772 But if one of your editors should make an attempt to enter upon the discussion of this question, would you permit it?"
56772But in what respect is the present régime so essentially different from the preceding ones that such a fermentation could arise? 56772 Do you consider that the real, intrinsic value?"
56772Does not this evil have a moral effect on the impartial administration of justice also?
56772Gottfried Keller? 56772 Has not the industrial development in the western part of the country strengthened the national finances?"
56772Has the Czar really anything to fear should the police relax its vigilance?
56772He? 56772 Hence also Plehve?"
56772How so?
56772How so?
56772How the latter?
56772How''s that?
56772How? 56772 How?
56772In what respect, then, does your excellency distinguish yourself as a Conservative from the so- called Liberals? 56772 Is it possible?"
56772Is not that a paradox, your excellency?
56772Is there no mistake possible here?
56772Is this a serious argument?
56772Is this, then, only the chronic discontent present in western Europe as well as in Russia, or is it now acute?
56772May I have a fuller explanation?
56772Mikhailovski?
56772On account of the industrial policy?
56772Ought not the Jews to take that into account and not meddle with politics?
56772Permanently? 56772 That is also, then, one of the causes of the ill- treatment of the Jews?"
56772Then Sänger found himself in a rather dubious position mainly as a philo- Semite?
56772Then ambition is also an influence?
56772Then it is stronger than usual?
56772Then your highness believes that the Kishinef massacres were arranged by the police?
56772Was anything accomplished by this inquest?
56772Was it better, then, formerly?
56772We must wish, then, for Russia''s sake, that the catastrophe come as quickly as possible?
56772What are you thinking of-- under our present régime? 56772 What difference does that make?
56772What do you mean by''everything''?
56772What have you heard?
56772What is injustice? 56772 What is the cause of this?"
56772What is the condition of socialism in Germany?
56772What is the nature of the reforms in question?
56772What system?
56772What was the cause of these conflicts?
56772What will then be the end?
56772When did this affair take place?
56772Who are these bulwarks of this general policy?
56772Who is to give redress?
56772Who knows, count? 56772 Who struck them out?"
56772Why do you speak of the knout and the Cossacks?
56772Why does your excellency believe that Sänger had become so tired of his position?
56772Why is that so illogical? 56772 Why particularly in Germany?"
56772Will you permit me to make a note of this list?
56772Will your paper support the absurd efforts which are being made towards the introduction of a constitution?
56772You are going, then, without prejudices?
56772You do not know? 56772 You mean, in plain speech, are not our judges to be bought?
56772You mean, then, that he was paid for the judgment that was given in the interest of the millionaires?
56772You say even grand- dukes?
56772You say that Plehve is not Russian?
56772You say that the students held a demonstration for the Japanese? 56772 You say the people are immoral?"
56772Your excellency of course refers to the idea that Plehve intimidates the Czar by threats of revolution?
56772Your excellency, should I commit an indiscretion by publishing our conversation just as it took place?
56772Your judges are not, then, independent and irremovable?
56772A meeting with Tolstoï is such an incomparable privilege for me-- will fate permit me thoroughly to enjoy the moments?
56772A near friend?
56772And do you consider Russia a really insolvent country, that can not really pay its debts, and can not bear the burdens of modern national life?"
56772And one might also ask, What west European has so studied the forest like Schischkin, the sea like Aiwasowsky, the river and the wind like Levitan?
56772And the Czar?
56772And you say that the students are not in sympathy with that?"
56772Are not the rulers themselves Russians?
56772Are the advantages of an all- controlling police system in any degree proportionate to its innumerable economic disadvantages?
56772Are they not caused by troubles in the universities?"
56772Are you not in a position to break through the iron ring of the bureaucrats, and to tell the Czar the truth about the men who possess his confidence?"
56772But I should like to know whether you will oppose the impertinences of the Jews with the necessary vigor?"
56772But for a Russian?
56772But how are exhortations of warning to reach the Czar''s ear?
56772But is this the first time that quacks have ruined a Hercules that has fallen into their hands?
56772But it could also be interpreted,"Madmen, what are you doing?
56772But perhaps Warsaw is not really Russia?
56772But what could single individuals do against the abuses of centuries?
56772But what would be the end of such teaching?
56772But when?
56772Can there be no change of the fatal policy that is ruining the country?"
56772Certainly not in criticism?"
56772Do you consider that an encouragement for patriotic endeavor?
56772Do you not know what you have here?"
56772Do you not see that this is the terrible, relentless sea into which you would step?"
56772Do you suppose that a comedy of justice like that of Kishinef can be played with independent judges?
56772Do you then think that the banks belong to the Salvation Army, to imagine that they should renounce such a transaction?"
56772FOOTNOTE:[ 15]"Why do I seek the way so ardently, if not that I might show it to my brothers?"
56772Had he permitted me to publish the conversation with his name?
56772Has he no longer any influence?"
56772Have you heard of the great steel affair?"
56772How about his friend Bryan?
56772How are these co- ordinated?
56772How can they be so cruel to their own flesh?"
56772How can you say, then, that they may be augmented at will by new issues?"
56772How can you speak of an independent press, when under the pressure of the high finance of the Russian and German governments?"
56772How could I have responded?
56772How is it that the student body, which comes principally from this upper stratum, is so laden with revolutionary tendencies?"
56772I closed my interview, as in all cases, with the question,"What hope is there for the future?"
56772If public opinion at that time had so much power for evil, why does it not have power now, and power for good?
56772If you should to- day suffer heavy loss by robbery or burglary, what should you do?"
56772In and of itself, what was the thing that had happened?
56772Is Russia a state or a prison?
56772Is it a modern Tauris full of terrors to the stranger?
56772Is it a_ Libre Parole_ or_ Intransigeant_?
56772Is it nationalistic or clerical?
56772Is it the banker''s business to initiate the public into the secret sciences?
56772Is it worth while, then, to bear the evil repute that Russia is a prison where no man''s life or property is secure?
56772Is not his tardy religious bent, perhaps, mere hypochondria, fear of the next world, preparation for death?
56772Is the position of judge not an honorable one?"
56772May not his apostleship be merely a self- suggested idea obstinately clung to?
56772Of what importance is here an inoffensive minister of instruction, or culture, as he is called in your country?"
56772Or are we still in central Europe?
56772Shall I tell you?
56772Should it be mentioned here that St. Petersburg has its"millionnaya"( millionaire''s street)?
56772Surely the people have not been spoiled by anything better?"
56772Suvorin would not dare to come here; and why not?
56772The Jewish question will long remain unsolved, for whom could the Russian officials bleed if not the tormented, worried, defenceless Jews?
56772The issue of the deposited securities to their owners is delayed?"
56772There will come a reaction, and the hand of every man will be against every other....""Then your excellency is opposed to the freedom of the press?"
56772What an old, sad melody is this to which these bare- footed men keep step as they struggle up along the stream?
56772What did he write?"
56772What does a stranger usually do in the evening when he visits a strange city?
56772What is religion?
56772What is the meaning of it?
56772What is to us, in contrast, the Kremlin, this sanctuary of half- Asiatic barbarians?
56772What more can be said than has already been said by Milyukov, by Lanin, by Leroy- Beaulieu?
56772What other monarch, moreover, must not consider his own interests, which can not be identical with those of Russia?
56772What shall we say of the works of Ostade, Teniers, Wouwerman, Pottes, and Ruysdael?
56772What was the cause of it?
56772What wonder if the Russian feels himself here on holy ground and would prefer to put off his shoes when he treads it?
56772What wrecked the attempts of well- intentioned autocrats at reform?
56772Whence, then, can help come?
56772Whenever I come to a town I ask myself, Why was it built here and not elsewhere?
56772Where is he?
56772Where was the"people"among the thousands sitting in the theatre, or eddying up and down the colossal halls?
56772Who is Suvorin?
56772Who knows where the awe of eternity touches him deeper, before St. Peter''s or before this Church of the Deliverer?
56772Who was he?
56772Why are such enormous sacrifices made at all for the sake of an undertaking injurious in itself and, moreover, impossible of execution?
56772Why is all this?
56772Why is this the case?
56772Why is your literary product so low?"
56772Why should they not become revolutionaries?
56772Why?
56772Yet what was there to prevent the despot from abandoning the work that he had begun?
56772be paid where the business is as bad as it is?
56772so you have no influential connections?''
54507''Has Igor told you everything?'' 54507 ''What else?''
54507''Why do you disturb him?'' 54507 ''You know my feelings?''
54507And do you often see the Tsar?
54507And does your husband sing well?
54507And yourself,I asked,"what political party do you belong to?"
54507Are you not ashamed of yourself,I exclaimed,"to risk a life so precious to Russia?
54507As long as these views are propagated, what matter under whose name? 54507 But do you want their death?"
54507But tell me, why do you want to know all these things?
54507But what are the practical measures you recommend and which you apply?
54507But what is the matter?
54507But what matter that?
54507But who will write a preface?
54507Can it be possible?
54507Do n''t you see?
54507Do you not hear what I say?
54507Have you had tragic experiences of that kind?
54507I think I am right,said the Royal Hostess, to{ 79} one of the latter, smiling graciously,"you are the successor of your predecessor?"
54507Is it a riot? 54507 Is it not a sin,"exclaimed I,"a great sin?
54507Is it not all the same?
54507Is it not strange that no one will deny my right, revolver in hand, to defend my watch or my money against the assaults of a burglar? 54507 Is it not wonderful?"
54507Is it true,she said,"that the bear is playing at your house every Thursday?"
54507Then what does he do?
54507They have no schools, no roads, no universities, no seminaries: and suddenly you want to plunge them into Parliamentary subtleties?
54507Well but, how do you manage to tame him? 54507 What chance have they to repent?
54507What does it all mean?
54507What is the meaning of this? 54507 What is the part of the Government in all these reforms?"
54507What keeps your societies together? 54507 What was his object in doing so?
54507What was that? 54507 What will England do?"
54507Why can we not publish your thoughts ourselves?
54507Will you do so?
54507Wo n''t you let me in?
54507You dislike the idea of attending the State funeral? 54507 ''How can you disturb us?'' 54507 ''Would you not like to see your mother? 54507 A few minutes later I heard the same voice say:Madame, are you a Greek Orthodox?"
54507After all, would a man prefer to work in a quicksilver mine or to be hanged?
54507All the special rules in connection with insubordination or any other misdemeanour, if only the much discussed refusal to work?
54507And Bentham, and the great socialist Lassalle himself?
54507And further, how have we placed the comparatively few to whom we have seen fit to give employment?
54507And how did you deal with this difficulty?
54507And what was it?
54507And when one says admiration, does not one mean in reality love?
54507Are the years of''48 and''49 meaningless or forgotten?
54507Are they to be blamed for measures taken with the object of saving their country from dismemberment?
54507Are you not afraid that I shall kill you too?"
54507Are you not pleased?"
54507Are you smiling?
54507Are you then married?"
54507As to her generosity, can anybody doubt that?
54507As to the future, with Great Britain, France, Russia, and Italy working hand in hand, what has Europe to fear?
54507But as English people we ask, who has helped us to understand"Brightest Russia"--the Russia in arms to- day?
54507But have I not been cruelly punished for being young and stupid?
54507But was he not right?
54507But what vehicle do you think they took?
54507But who can use the word"only,"when it is followed by thousands of killed?
54507But who could act?
54507But who else was to do it?
54507Can anybody, not only in Russia but even abroad, doubt his{ 119} talent?
54507Can you not count me your spiritual mother, and confide in me, when I come to you and sit with you and listen to all you have to say?''
54507Could anyone be kinder or show greater political courage?
54507Could anything be more cruel and mischievous?
54507Do n''t you go to church every Sunday, and do n''t you pray for her?''
54507Do you know one of the results of such practical application of sympathy?
54507Do you know that I can sell your correspondence to an editor or a publisher?
54507Do you know that he actually refuses to play at my palace on any terms?"
54507Do you realise that the simplest change, the taking away or adding of one button or one inch of braid represents an enormous sum of money?
54507Does anything remain of the famous Treaty of Paris?
54507For how long is the pledge binding?
54507For what right have we to endanger the public safety by allowing crime to reign unchecked?
54507Had not the emancipation of forty- eight millions of Serfs been a good enough example to justify this hope?
54507Has not Jesus Christ Himself ordered to propagate His teaching, and counselled us to love our enemies?
54507Have I to chastise that captivating_ mangeur de Coeurs_?
54507Have they not reached you?''
54507Have you ever been to the St. Isaac''s Cathedral in Petrograd at Easter?
54507He always( was it simply out of modesty?)
54507How are you to manifest Christian compassion and love to sinners when they are so quickly and definitely disposed of?
54507How can they look after your{ 88} affairs when they can not speak either English or French?"
54507How can you repay him?
54507How can you safely enter upon it without some attention to the researches and the opinions of the writers who have examined it?
54507How could I hesitate for a moment to send him a challenge?"
54507How did you get to prison?''
54507How many families are driven to misery; how many crimes are committed only through alcohol?
54507How shall I escape from my dilemma?
54507I asked myself: is that Gretchen going to complain to me of her Faust?
54507I have often wondered what"a political agitator"would appear like to the writer of this paragraph, and why should he not be musical?
54507I protested, when Mikoulin had left the room;"why should you give them to someone else?"
54507I think my vehement indignation amused the old Chancellor, and he said:"Well, well, but do you know that people actually think that you are my agent?"
54507I was deeply touched when he enquired of those about him:"Why does not Madame Novikoff come to see me?"
54507If that were the crime, who were the criminals?
54507If these visions are actually granted, would it not be a great consolation and a reward for deep affection?
54507In our Russia that is seething with talented inventors?
54507Is it possible that during several years of good harvest you could not have provided for one bad year?
54507Is it rational, I ventured to ask in the year 1886, to awaken general indignation in a country like Russia, which could be so useful as an ally?
54507Is it really not worth having?
54507Is not my impartiality praiseworthy?
54507Is not this the action of a wicked foe?
54507Is there any republic in the world which has carried out such great reforms as those of Alexander II?
54507Is this really so?
54507It happened in the year 1884, during the great political crisis, when one heard on all sides the query:''Will he return to power?''
54507It is also an alliance of economic interests, of pockets, may I say?
54507It is easy to weep with those who weep, but when one''s own heart is sad and suffering, is it so easy to rejoice with those that rejoice?
54507Madame, do you by chance mean Rubinstein?
54507Men, almost without exception, maintain silence on this point, so why should I not try to investigate the matter?
54507My mother interrupted him by asking,"Would you prefer to belong to Austria?"
54507No men devoted to Russia,{ 276} to her honour and her might?
54507No men?
54507Of course it is foolish, but what does it matter?
54507Once I asked one of my guests:"How many roubles a year do you spend on drink?
54507Suddenly I heard a voice:"Madame,"asked my young driver,"are you a Russian?"
54507Surely, I said to myself, something might be done?
54507This letter is reproduced in my pamphlet:"_ Christ or Moses?
54507Veuillez bien m''accorder indulgence et me permettre de venir un autre jour pour vous renouveler mes très respectueux hommages?
54507Was anything ever so bewildering?
54507Was it not a miraculous rapidity?
54507Was it not dreadful?
54507Was it not in the Emperor Nicholas''s time that the present social ideas originated?
54507Was this a prophecy, or merely a remark uttered with the object of blinding his contemporaries to his real purpose?
54507We can not at will take a new father or mother and break all the ties God and nature have given us-- why then a new nationality?
54507Well, what would have been the probable conduct under these circumstances of the Government of this country?"
54507Were Pouschkin and Lermontoff, those victims of offended honour, really such fools?
54507Were not Peter the Great and the Great Catherine Autocrats?
54507Were they not often accompanied with drinking?
54507What are the probable consequences which would then have{ 160} occurred?
54507What are the tenets of Panslavism?
54507What are we doing with our prisoners of war?
54507What can you do in return?
54507What greater link can there be between two nations than that each should speak the other''s language?
54507What is the matter?"
54507What other characteristic is common to them all?
54507What pledges?
54507What then was the Emperor''s proposal?
54507What was I to do?
54507What would my friend do?
54507Where does she live?''
54507Where is one to draw the line between necessaries and luxuries?
54507Where would Europe be now if it were not for the Russian armies, and where would the Russian armies be but for the English Navy?
54507Who knows what would have happened had the brave and glorious Skobeleff been one of the led instead of the idolised leader?
54507Why can one not abolish it entirely in the whole world?
54507Why should you spoil them, and make them unfit for their usual life, by accustoming them to unnecessary luxuries?
54507Why then am I to be denied the right to defend my honour in the same fashion?
54507Why was it that Russia was not as in 1876?
54507Why was it that the Armenians at Sassoun were left as sheep before the butcher?
54507Why was it that the Sultan and his Pashas felt themselves perfectly free to issue what order they pleased for the massacre of the poor Armenians?
54507With this Convention still in force, who could blame Russia for not joining in operations against Abdul?
54507do they want drink?"
54507etc., from developing the greatest possible progress in literature?
54507what is one to do with such farm labourers as that?
54507{ 109}"Do n''t you understand?"
54507{ 110} Why was this?
54507{ 228}"Why have you come here alone?"
27743All very well,says the reader;"but how are we to get into the private houses?"
27743And do they?
27743And what may that be?
27743Are we to wait on the chance of''probably''?
27743Are you glad to hear_ Pekka_--do you care for him just a little?
27743But did you order it?
27743But does not a strong wind cause them to ring?
27743But is there no other boat for us?
27743But you said you were sent here for only three years''punishment-- how does it happen you have remained for nearly four?
27743But,we returned,"although you learnt it when children, how have you managed to keep it up as men?"
27743Can an ant bath be had here?
27743Certainly not; how did such an idea get into your head?
27743Could they see the strange ladies?
27743Could we manage with such meagre accommodation?
27743Darling, it is not true you care for_ Armas Merikanto_?
27743Did many friends come to the wedding?
27743Did they do anything very remarkable or strange?
27743Did you think Finland was cold, then?
27743Do you generally stay long in the same house in Finland?
27743Do you mean to say you have no opportunity of keeping up the knowledge you already possess?
27743Do you mix much with the Russians?
27743Do you speak English?
27743Do you think so?
27743Does the train leave at two?
27743For what?
27743Got what-- the measles or scarlet fever?
27743Have you heard of horseless carriages and flying machines?
27743How do they put them out?
27743How do you become monks?
27743How do you know I am going to_ Punkaharju_?
27743How long were they engaged?
27743How old are those trees we see, twenty or thirty years?
27743How were we two Englishwomen to travel alone through the very centre of Finland, where no one spoke a word except his own language?
27743Is it in their worship that they should sleep with their heads towards the sun?
27743Is n''t it amusing?
27743Is this fog usual?
27743It is rather strong,said she pensively;"shall we put it outside?"
27743Might they see where they slept?
27743Mine?
27743No,was the reply;"what do you mean?"
27743Of course,she replied,"or what should we do at the_ lukukinkerit_?"
27743Pardon, Madame, but how much hot water do you want for grog?
27743Really?
27743Then shall I bring you cream to eat it as pudding?
27743Very much,I replied, smiling at the question;"but why do you ask?"
27743Was it not very strange at first?
27743Were you so very much horrified?
27743What are those dead leaves?
27743What do they mean?
27743What do you mean? 27743 What does your title of_ Magister_ mean?"
27743What for?
27743What is that?
27743What is your business?
27743What shall we do with it?
27743What sort of news?
27743What? 27743 When may I come to see you, darling-- my little wife?"
27743Where are they going?
27743Where are we to live?
27743Where is our dinner?
27743Where is the bride?
27743Where is_ Hangö_, what is_ Hangö_--why_ Hangö_?
27743Why, what is that? 27743 Why, why,"in distress we asked him,"do you stay here?"
27743Why?
27743Why?
27743Will you be my wife?
27743Will you come with me,_ Annuka_, fair maid of_ Åbo_?
27743Will you come with me,_ Annuka_, fair maid of_ Åbo_?
27743Will you come with me,_ Annuka_, fair maid of_ Åbo_?
27743Will you come with me,_ Annuka_, fair maid of_ Åbo_?
27743Will you have some sweetbread?
27743Will you tell me some news, kind ladies?
27743Yes, yes, that is it,replied Grandpapa;"where is it?"
27743You are lost, in fact?
27743You do n''t mean to say that enormous parcel contains soap?
27743You like me-- you love me?
27743You speak English?
27743You think so? 27743 You think so?"
27743You? 27743 _ Straxt, straxt_,"is smilingly answered, but the landlord does not move-- not he; what is to be gained by being in a hurry?
27743_ You_ are not English?
27743( Perhaps the ladies talk German?)
27743A spirit?
27743A whole fowl?"
27743Again the priest asks:"Where is the bride?"
27743And why on earth did they sleep among the ghosts and hobgoblins?
27743Are the dogs howling and the children running away?
27743Are they not there to mortify the flesh and learn economy?
27743Are we not all the better for looking on such scenes?
27743As we left_ Holy Island_, it was past ten o''clock at night, and yet what could that be?
27743Beds did we say?
27743But again I must ask why you inquire?"
27743But surely you do n''t think of taking one?"
27743But were they excited?
27743But who could be angry with such innocent people?
27743By this time my sister was awake, and lazily asking"What is the matter?"
27743Can there be such a thing as a musical train?
27743Could any more delightful household be imagined?
27743Could anything be better?
27743Could it be?
27743Could we in England not learn one of our many needed lessons in education from Finland on this point?
27743Dare we own the cause?
27743Did I shiver at the thought?
27743Did this intrusion make me feel shy?
27743Does he enjoy_ Hymylä_?
27743Doffing his black cloth cap, he said--"Vielleicht die Damen sprechen deutsch?"
27743Had he gone to sleep or lost his senses, or was he paralysed with fatigue?
27743Had they actually come from London?
27743Hardly believing in his total innocence of the outer world, we asked--"Does no one ever really see a paper in this monastery?"
27743Have you ever travelled with a melon?
27743How could it be, where there are none of the luxuries of these vast cities?
27743How shall we describe it?
27743I had come to try a strange Finnish bath which interested me-- why should they not come to see a queer Englishwoman if it amused them?
27743If such a possibility existed, could it be looked for anywhere else than in a unanimous and national feeling?
27743Is it that they hide their feelings, or is it that they have none to conceal?
27743Is it the fierce sun of their country that has burned them so black?"
27743Is such a declension not enough to strike terror to the stoutest heart?
27743Joy, he heard the voice of_ Ilma_ in answer, and said,"Is it you, dear one?
27743Ken taistelut ne kaikki voi kertoilla kansan tään, Kun sota laaksoissamme soi ja halla nälän tuskat toi?
27743Kind reader, have you ever been driven in a_ Black Maria_?
27743Masters of the piscatorial art, does not envy enter your souls?
27743Mit''oisi maassa armaampaa, mit''oisi kalliimpaa?
27743O child of Finland, wherefore fly Thy noble Fatherland?
27743One can not be long in Finland during the summer without being asked"Are you going to_ Hangö_?"
27743Our kind Finnish friend gave the order, and the pretty girl repeated--"_ Hjortron?_ But there is no meat."
27743Second, did we say?
27743See, did we say?
27743Silent and alone, with head bent sadly down, she stood in the middle of the room till asked if she were willing"To marry this man?"
27743Suffocated with heat and dust, we were ourselves bumping along in a springless_ kärra_, when our attention was first arrested by-- what?
27743Supposing the occupants of an English train were suddenly called upon to sing"God save the King,"what would be the result?
27743Surely you would not provide half a fowl for four people, would you?"
27743THY LAND[B](_ English_) O child of Finland, wherefore fly Thy noble Fatherland?
27743That is, we believe, the name of the cumbersome carriage which conveys prisoners from one police- station to another, or to their prison home?
27743The footsteps came on apace, and we held our breath, thinking our time had come; but was it?
27743The kindly lady laughed heartily as she said,"Mais, Madame, est- ce que possible que vous vouliez prendre un de ces bains?"
27743Then, in a hushed voice and with subdued breath they asked--"Are they mad?"
27743They ask not only"Where do you come from?"
27743Was it not enough to fill our hearts with despair?
27743Was it really true that two Englishwomen were staying there as the papers stated?
27743Was it that they seldom saw a play, or was it that the generally phlegmatic Finn once roused is really intensely emotional?
27743Was it?
27743Was there any possibility for Finland to maintain its home policy, or, indeed, its national life?
27743We asked the old dame if she could sing?
27743Were we criminals without our knowledge, and was this our jailor who stood gesticulating, and scowling, and waving his arms about in excitement?
27743What about germ disease in such a place, O ye bacteriologists?
27743What are they; what do you mean?
27743What could it mean?
27743What did they do?
27743What form would it take?
27743What is the want of raiment when compared with the wants of the soul?
27743What on earth had the poor_ Magister_ done that he should be jumped on in this way?
27743What pen could describe more faithfully the ways of the people?
27743What was a_ muurahais kylpy_ like?
27743What was to be done?
27743What were they like?
27743What were those packets of brown paper securely fixed to the top of long poles all over that field, we wondered?
27743Where were the folk who had lived beside them, cooked beneath them, and spent their lives of grief or joy?
27743Who could have expected to find in the interior of Finland a peasant landlord who was also an English linguist?
27743Who could have imagined such a day would turn to such a night?
27743Why are the northern peoples so honest, the southern peoples such thieves?
27743Why should not something of the kind be allowed in our parks from seven to twelve in the evening at a charge of a few pence?
27743Why, oh why, had I not persevered with the sketches, instead of only doing one at our midnight haven of rest in the_ Uleåborg_ rapids?
27743Why?
27743Wildly we were tearing past the banks, when, lo!--what was that?
27743Will any one deny that the Finlander is inquisitive?
27743Will nothing move these people?
27743With all their sufferings and their hardships, can one be surprised that they take life seriously?
27743Would he regain his footing all that distance below?
27743Would he waste his life among those men, so few of whom were, socially or intellectually, his equals, or would he return to the world?
27743Would the phantom be man or woman-- tall or short-- an assassin, murderer, or victim?

27743what was that?

27743where, was the much- discussed chicken?
27743why fidget?
1349* On being asked for their opinion, they replied vaguely,How should we know?
1349An inn?
1349And does harmony generally reign in peasant households?
1349And what did we Russians do all this time? 1349 And what is a Feldsher?"
1349And what is the effect of an inhibition?
1349And what kind of faith have they?
1349And when will there be some?
1349And why do you wish to know?
1349And why has he not been taken there?
1349And you always bring home a big pile of money with you?
1349Are our brothers dying, and do your wives and children remain without a bit of bread?
1349Are the Molokanye, then, very bad people?
1349Are you, too, a Nihilist?
1349Do we require Manchuria?
1349Do you hear that, ye orthodox? 1349 Hot, very hot?"
1349How can that be? 1349 How could he be taken?
1349How shall I tell you?
1349Is it better than the faith of the Molokanye?
1349Is it not rather dangerous,I inquired,"to take the law thus into your own hands?
1349Is it to the east, or the west?
1349Is it very far away?
1349Ivanofka?
1349Now?
1349So you have an assistant, have you?
1349The Zemstvo is the new local administration, is it not?
1349The town,he was wo nt to say on such occasions,"has been entrusted to me by his Majesty, and you dare to talk to me of the law?
1349Then you must expose yourself to all kinds of extortion?
1349Very well, you shall have four,says the leading spirit to Ivan; and then, turning to the crowd, inquires,"Shall it be so?"
1349We listened to these words with deep reverence, and gave a tacit consent; and what was the result? 1349 What do you say, little father?"
1349What have you done with the Son of God? 1349 What is that?
1349What is the use of applying to the justices? 1349 What preparations have we made,"they asked,"for the struggle with civilisation, which now sends its forces against us?
1349What''s this?
1349What, pray, could they work at?
1349Where have you taken us to?
1349Where is that country?
1349Who knows if they will marry?
1349Who knows?

1349A very ingenious defence of all kinds of rascality, is n''t it?"
1349And how did Napoleon get to Wilhelmshohe?
1349And is not the proprietor of a few hundred morgen in Germany often richer than the Russian noble who has thousands of dessyatins?
1349And supposing they succeeded in starting the new system, where was the working capital to come from?
1349And then, who knows what they do with people in the hospital?"
1349And then?
1349And to these reproaches what could they reply?
1349And what have you done?
1349And what is done with all the money that is taken from them?
1349And what is the nature of the process?
1349And what then will the hungry Proletariat do?
1349And why do the people not respect the clergy?
1349And why was the railway constructed in this extraordinary fashion?

1349But does not the Commune, as it exists, prevent good cultivation according to the mode of agriculture actually in use?
1349But is there any reasonable chance of these sanguine expectations being realised?
1349But perhaps''all men''does not include publicans and sinners?"
1349But the Emperor?
1349But what does it prove?
1349But what does the word"retreat"mean in this case?
1349But what has all this to do, it may be asked, with the aforementioned Volkerwanderung, or migration of peoples, during the Dark Ages?
1349But what kind of service?
1349But what of their Panslavist aspirations?
1349But what, it may be asked, has social reform to do with natural science?
1349But where is there a man of original genius?
1349But where were the Conservatives all this time?
1349But why, it may be said, should the widow not accept provisionally the five shares, and let to others the part which she does not require?
1349But would they be able to accomplish it?
1349Could you get an Englishman to work at that rate?"
1349Did ye never hear tell o''John Abercrombie, the famous Edinburgh doctor?"
1349Do you agree?"
1349Do you think he''s a baby?
1349Does the reader suspect that I have here chosen an extremely exceptional case?
1349Does, then, the existence of the Mir prevent the peasants from manuring their fields well?
1349Has the material and moral condition of the peasantry improved since the Emancipation?
1349Have they been indirectly indemnified for the loss of serf labour by subsequent economic changes?
1349Have you any Aborigines Protection Society in this part of the world?"
1349He knows that the contract is unfair to him, but what is he to do?
1349He would introduce the gold currency as recommended; but how was the requisite capital to be obtained?
1349Here he wrote and published, with the permission of the authorities and the imprimatur of the Press censure, a novel called"Shto delat''?"
1349How are our little horses to drag these big ploughs?
1349How are we to economise?
1349How came it that for two or three years no voice was raised and no protest made even against the rhetorical exaggerations of the new- born liberalism?
1349How can she remain in the place after her husband was killed in a duel by a brother officer?
1349How could agricultural or industrial progress be made without free labour?
1349How could the Government take active measures for the spread of national education when it had no direct control over one- half of the peasantry?
1349How could this be explained except by the radical defects of that system which had been long practised with such inflexible perseverance?
1349How did this important change take place, and how is it to be explained?
1349How far have they succeeded in making the transition from serfage to free labour, and what revenues do they now derive from their estates?
1349How have they acted, for instance, towards the Zemstvo?
1349How many?"
1349How was that possible?
1349How, it may be asked, did a work of this sort find its way to such a place?
1349How, then, does the Commune distribute the land?
1349How, then, the reader may ask, is an issue to be found out of the present imbroglio?
1349I enquire of him when my case is likely to come on, and receive the laconic answer,''How should I know?''
1349If it took three years for the preparatory investigation of a district and a half, how many years will be required for eleven districts?
1349If the peasant was indolent and careless even under strict supervision, what would he become when no longer under the authority of a master?
1349If the profits from farming were already small, what would they be when no one would work without wages?
1349In answer to the question, Who effected this gigantic reform?
1349In reply to his question,"Well, children, what do you want?"
1349In spite of his efforts, Ivan could not get much further than the"Kak vam skazat''?"
1349In such cases what is the jury to do?
1349Instead of adopting this simple procedure, what does the Zemstvo do?
1349Is annexation followed by assimilation, or do the new acquisitions retain their old character?
1349Is history about to repeat itself, or are we on the eve of a cataclysm?
1349Is it a mere barbarous lust of territorial aggrandisement, or is it some more reasonable motive?
1349It is only too true, but who is to blame?
1349Many a proprietor who had formerly vegetated in apathetic ease had to ask himself the question: How am I to gain a living?
1349Might not such a class be created in Russia?
1349Of the latter they would probably say,"Kto ikh znact?"
1349On such occasions he may stand back a little from the crowd and say,"Well, orthodox, have you decided so?"
1349Or will it impinge on our Indian frontier, directed by those who desire to avenge themselves on Japan''s ally for the reverses sustained in Manchuria?
1349Other countries, it is said, have existed and thriven under free political institutions, and why not Russia?
1349That field belongs to the landlord?"
1349That the Russian people are morally inferior to the German?
1349The important question for the general public is: How do the institutions work in the local conditions in which they are placed?
1349The welfare of the agriculturists, who constitute nine- tenths of the whole population, was being ruthlessly sacrificed, and for what?
1349Then arose, all along the line of the defeated, decimated revolutionists, the cry,"What is to be done?"
1349Then why not take covered sledges on such occasions?
1349Thereupon a more experienced orator comes forward and a characteristic conversation takes place:"Have we much land of our own, my friends?"
1349Very soon English goods will no longer find foreign markets, and how will the hungry Proletariat then be fed?
1349Was it not you who got drunk and beat your wife till she roused the whole village with her shrieking?
1349Was it obtained from some other race, or is it indigenous?
1349Was such a thing ever heard of?
1349Was the movement, then, merely an outburst of childish petulance?
1349What better opening could be desired?
1349What do they expect from us in return?
1349What emperor was this?
1349What has it done for Russia in the past, and what is it doing in the present?
1349What is Gogol?"

1349What is a Nihilist?"
1349What is his relation to the Synod and to the Church in general?
1349What is our famous poet Zhukofski?
1349What is the secret of this expansive power?
1349What is this Feldsher?"
1349What is your opinion?"
1349What then could they seek to defend?
1349What will his first step be?
1349What will it be in the future?"
1349What would they become when this guidance and salutary restraint should be removed?
1349What, then, are the relations between Church and State?
1349What, then, was Emancipation?
1349When a parish priest dies, what is to become of his wife and daughters?"
1349When any great enterprise is projected, the first question is--"How will this new scheme affect the interests of the State?"
1349Whence, then, was it derived?
1349Where am I to get the money to pay a labourer?"
1349Where could he get that money?
1349Where was the well- considered plan of defence?
1349Where were the representatives of the old regime, who had been so thoroughly imbued with the spirit of Nicholas?
1349Who is to carry him?
1349Who knows but my children may be very glad some day to have a share of the Commune land?"
1349Who, then, are the Terrorists, who have assassinated so many great personages, including the Grand Duke Serge?
1349Whom shall we choose?"
1349Why are they bearing hardships and taking so much trouble?
1349Why should he trouble himself with these new schemes, when he might live comfortably as he was?
1349Why should his Reverence meddle with things that do n''t concern him?"
1349Why should not Russia follow the example of England and Tuscany?
1349Why should she be a pariah among the nations?
1349Why, then, did the peasant often prefer the northern forests to the fertile Steppe where the land was already prepared for him?
1349Will he not, if he have merely an ordinary moral character, consider himself justified in inventing a few falsehoods in order to effect his escape?
1349Will it confine itself for some years to a process of infiltration in Mongolia and Northern Thibet, the line of least resistance?
1349You are not in a hurry, I hope?"
1349You can?"
1349You have been on the Sheksna?"
1349You know what these words mean?"
1349retorts the woman, wandering from the subject in hand;"what did YOU do last parish fete?
1349that is to say,"How am I to tell you?"
38690And how old are you?
38690And the people asked him, saying, What shall we do then? 38690 But how can a man be locked up,"I said,"for begging in the name of Christ?"
38690But why will nothing come of it? 38690 But,"said I,"if it were possible to find you a situation as a cook or something else?"
38690Do you think there is any pleasure in knocking about, begging, if I can work?
38690Have you parents?
38690Have you parents?
38690He repudiates science and art; he wishes to turn men back again to the savage state; why, then, should we listen to him, or argue with him?
38690How many?
38690How then? 38690 I have a mother,"she said at last;"but what''s that to you?"
38690Is begging forbidden in Moscow, then?
38690Is begging, then, forbidden?
38690Is it hard work?
38690Is this child yours?
38690Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? 38690 Well; but what of that?"
38690What difference does that make?
38690What do you do for your living?
38690What good will it do me?
38690What is he doing with the pavement?
38690What is your occupation?
38690What of that?
38690Where did it come from?
38690Where did it come from?
38690Where did it come from?
38690Where shall I go?
38690Why do you nurse him?
38690Why left to die? 38690 Why should you go to look at the suffering of human beings whom you can not help?"
38690Why?
38690With what purpose?
38690With what will only inquire,What Spirit?"
38690A true mother will never say this:"You can not keep yourself from the desire to give them sweets, toys, to take them to the circus?"
38690Adam?
38690Advantageous for whom?
38690All this comes simply from the strange idea about the"division of labour?"
38690An engineer, a surgeon, a teacher, an artist, an author, seem by their very professions to be obliged to serve the people, but what do we see?
38690And I began to reflect: Why is it that I felt so?
38690And again I asked myself,"Why are there so many here, and in what do they differ from the country poor?"
38690And as all this is rendered possible only by division of labour, how can we avoid countenancing it?
38690And how about division of labour?
38690And how many households are there in Russia alone?
38690And if not we, who did?
38690And industry and social undertakings?"
38690And no given, to Catherine the Empress, or to the rebel Pugatchof?
38690And now that I have gathered much of such money what am I to do with it?
38690And this acknowledgment of men''s duty forms the essence of the third answer to the question,"What is to be done?"
38690And what am I to do in order to satisfy the craving ingrafted in me for a personal and a common welfare?
38690And what did he see there?
38690And why should not men of art serve the people?
38690And why should people carry away from the country into the towns the things that are necessary for country people,--flour, oats, horses, and cattle?
38690And why, while living in town, am I unable to help the town poor?"
38690And, indeed, what is my money, and how did I come by it?
38690Are not these men compelled to do the will of their commanders under the threat of torture and death,--a threat often carried out?
38690Are you a self- satisfied man of wealth, desiring to be gladdened by the sight of our need, to divert yourself in your idleness, and to mock at us?
38690Before I repented, I had put the question thus:"What activity should I choose, I, the man with the education and talents I have acquired?
38690Before this I was not able to answer the question,"What is to be done?"
38690But by whom?
38690But of the two who is the poorer?
38690But surely you do n''t give them poisonous berries to eat, you do not let them go out alone in a boat, you do not take them to a café chantant?
38690But the question is always put thus:"How can I, who have acquired so much fine information, how can I be useful to men with this my information?"
38690But the question still remains, To whom is the power given, to Catherine the Empress, or to the rebel Pugatchof?
38690But what are we to understand by the expression,"getting a living in town"?
38690But what facts?
38690But what mania could be more horrible than this?
38690But what means the fact that some men and their children work, and other men and their children do not work?
38690But who will make these boots and cotton- prints?
38690But why are some caught and locked up, while others are let alone?
38690But why do we dress, wash, and comb our hair ourselves?
38690But why has it so happened?
38690But with us it has come into fashion to say,"It is all very well in theory, but how would it be in practice?"
38690By Pushkin, Dostoyevsky, Turgenief, L. Tolstoy?
38690CHAPTER XII What did it all mean?
38690CHAPTER XVIII What is the origin of money?
38690CHAPTER XXII I always wonder at the often repeated words,"Yes, it is all true in theory, but how is it in practice?"
38690CHAPTER XXV But what is to be done, then?
38690CHAPTER XXXVIII What is to be done?
38690Can coercing these men to join in the labour make them consider that the sacrifices are enforced for their own good?
38690Can compelling these men to labour make it of advantage to them?
38690Can we not see the changes which public opinion is now preparing?
38690Could I possibly bring a lousy boy out of a den of depravity to my children?
38690Do they, I ask, recognize the usefulness of this activity?
38690Do you spend much of your time during the day with your children?
38690Does not this good fortune come from the fact that man can not and will not see his own deformities?
38690First of all, to the question,"What is to be done?"
38690First, is it true that in every production only three agencies operate?
38690Give me bodily food, and in return I will give you the forced to keep up these schools?
38690He has money, and he pays it away for this work: what harm is there in it?
38690He will only inquire,"What Spirit?"
38690How can I compensate by this education and these talents for what I have been taking away from the people?"
38690How can a man think that he ought to act in one way, and then do quite the reverse?
38690How can a supposition about something quite impossible awaken an interest in any one?
38690How can one help a man who does not tell all his circumstances?
38690How could men have fallen into such astounding error?
38690How could they have come to such a state that they can neither see nor hear nor understand with their heart what is so clear, obvious, and certain?
38690How did this happen?
38690How do these elders explain their cruelty?
38690How is it, then, that all these acts of violence secure my liberty, and all this evil procures good?"
38690How many are there of them?"
38690How should we satisfy their artistic wants?
38690How should we satisfy these claims?
38690How then explain this?
38690How would this young man call another who out of whim, changes his clean shirt and sends it to be washed by a woman old enough to be his mother?
38690How, then, are our ladies to reform this woman and her daughter?
38690How, then, can it be more advantageous for people?
38690How, then, can the necessity of painful, oppressing work be advantageous for men?
38690How, then, do rich people order their lives here in the country?
38690I can not say, Why do you not eat hay when it is your necessary food?
38690I compel none; I hire; what wrong is there in that?"
38690I did not understand her, and asked again,--"What are your means of living?"
38690I said to him,--"Is it really true that poor people are not allowed to ask for alms in Christ''s name?"
38690I said to myself over and over again,"What is this town life and town misery?
38690I stopped and asked him,--"What is the matter?"
38690I wished to find out whether begging was really forbidden, and if so, why?
38690If I gave a stranger in the street a ruble or twenty kopeks, why should I not give her also a ruble?
38690If any man labour mentally five hours a day, he will do a vast amount of business; what do we, then, do during the remaining eleven hours?
38690If it were not so, why, then, has the issue of this means of exchange always been the prerogative of the government?
38690If the object were to make as many cotton- prints and pins as possible, it would be so; but the question is, how to make people happy?
38690If the question had been put thus, after I had repented,"What can I, so ruined a man, do?"
38690If they asked me what I had come for, what should I say?
38690If we were to apply the second test and to ask, What is the chief motive of the activity of business- men?
38690If, therefore, the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is your darkness?
38690In answer to the question,"Is it necessary to organize this physical labour, to establish a society in a village upon this basis?"
38690In answer to the question,"Would not this unusual labour be hurtful to health, which is necessary in order that I may serve men?"
38690In what, then, does it consist?
38690Indeed, what is that money which I give to the poor, and which the cook''s wife thought I was giving her?
38690Is it a bad thing, according to the gospel, to clothe the naked, or to feed the hungry?"
38690Is it more advantageous to make with all speed as many boots and cotton- prints as possible?
38690Is it not, then, the same thing?
38690Is it possible to help thus?
38690Is it their fault?"
38690Is not deprivation of land and tools enforced slavery?
38690Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?"
38690Is that charity?
38690Is the utility of the arts and sciences recognized by all, or even by the majority, of working- people?
38690Is this really so?
38690It might be asked by some,"What is there so peculiarly important in abstractly discussing the meaning of money?"
38690John the Baptist, in answer to men''s question"What shall we do then?"
38690Make his coat as well as hew his wood?
38690Men who from generation to generation have been making only pin- heads?
38690Of what is this production composed?
38690Of what, then, does this slavery consist?
38690On what grounds do they believe this?
38690On what grounds do they believe this?
38690On what is this assurance based?
38690Others have already begun, have done a little mischief; why should n''t I, too, do the same?
38690Our position is a very difficult one, but why should we not look it in the face?
38690Revised and Corrected Translation WHAT SHALL WE DO?
38690Same prices as_ What is Religion?_"= On Life.="By LEO TOLSTOY.
38690Science must answer the question, Why are some men deprived of land and tools while others possess both?
38690She got up and slowly walked on.... Where?
38690She looked fixedly beyond us, tried to snatch up her jacket behind her in order to cover her bony chest, and growled out like a dog,"What?
38690She smiled and said,--"Who would take me with a yellow ticket?
38690So it was with me; and therefore the second answer to the question,"What is to be done?"
38690That may be so; but the given, to Catharine the Empress, or to the rebel Pugatchof?
38690The ball goes on very merrily, may be, but how did it come to do so?
38690The falseness and foolishness of our enterprise was now more apparent to me in looking at them; but were we not all in the same ridiculous position?
38690The man looked up at me sharply, and said,"What business is that of yours?"
38690Then said I, Lord, how long?
38690Then said I, Lord, how long?
38690Then what is money?
38690There are so many things to be done, that one requires to know what is to be done in particular?
38690Therefore, I think that every one who sincerely puts to himself the question,"What is to be done?"
38690Therefore, a man can never answer the question,"What is to be done?"
38690These are, then, the answers to the question,"What shall we do?"
38690They they will be still poorer, and forced to keep up these schools?
38690This means is that which John the Baptist recommended when he answered the question,"What shall we do then?"
38690To an impartial man the question at once arises, What are you speaking about, then?
38690To the CHAPTER XXII CHAPTER XXIX will only inquire,"What Spirit?"
38690To the question, By whom is the usefulness of their activity recognized?
38690To the question,"What have we to do?"
38690To the question,"Would not this seem strange to those who had been accustomed to do all this for me?"
38690Very often good young people, who sympathise with the negative part of my writings, put to me the question,"What must I do then?
38690WHAT SHALL WE DO?
38690WHAT SHALL WE DO?
38690We ask: Why do persons who possess land and capital oppress those who possess neither?
38690We did not do it, did we?
38690We have invented telegraphs, telephones, phonographs, but what improvements have we made in the life of the people?
38690What are the conditions under which nations always have money, and under what circumstances need nations not use money?
38690What atonement?
38690What can he see in me but one of those persons who have become possessed of something which should belong to him?
38690What can it possibly signify if I wear a dirty shirt and make my cigarettes myself?
38690What difference would it be if I should wear my shirt a week instead of a day, and make my cigarettes myself, or leave off smoking altogether?
38690What does property mean?
38690What does that Power, which created me, require from me and from each man?
38690What does this really mean?
38690What for?
38690What have I, who have finished my study in the university or in some other high establishment,--what have I to do in order to be useful?"
38690What if the working- people should speak thus?
38690What is all this to me?"
38690What is it that I really want?
38690What is it, then, that confirms the theory that state activity is useful for humanity?
38690What is there exactly to be done?
38690What is to be done then?
38690What is to be done?
38690What is wrong in this?
38690What must we do?
38690What shall we do then?
38690What should I have given in order to do as he had done?
38690What then, do the words,"getting a living in town,"mean?
38690What was this feeling, then?
38690What was, then, the difference in our gifts?
38690What would be the result?
38690What, then, have we been teaching them?
38690What, then, is property?
38690What, then, should we intellectual labourers answer, if such simple and lawful claims were made upon us?
38690What, then, will come out of this?
38690What_ could_ I experience in my intercourse with these people but shame?
38690Whence comes the great power of money, which strikes us all with a sense of its injustice and cruelty?
38690Where should my old footman go, if I were to discharge him?"
38690Wherein lies this power of threat?
38690While of the sciences of theologians, and that of cabalists, nothing is left but empty words, why should we be so particularly fortunate?
38690Who am I, I thought, that desire to better men''s condition?
38690Who are you?
38690Who cooks their dinner and what from?
38690Who does not know human beings, especially women, who make a great virtue of cleanliness?
38690Who does not know the various phrases of this cleanliness, which have no limit whatever when it is procured by the labour of others?
38690Who instills moral principles into them?
38690Who is she?"
38690Who of us men and women will cure her of this false view of life?
38690Who washes them?
38690Whom do I harm?
38690Why do I say"almost agreeable?"
38690Why go to towns, then, to get what is to be had in the country?
38690Why is it a useless business, if we help thousands, or even hundreds, of unhappy ones?
38690Why is mankind an organism or something similar?
38690Why is one man, by the means of money, to have dominion over others?
38690Why not count claims on the rain and the rays of the sun?
38690Why some facts and not others?
38690Why then can you restrain yourselves in this case and not in that?
38690Why, then, are three only to be chosen, and laid as a foundation for the science of political economy?
38690Why, then, is the sun not included among the factors of production?
38690Wo n''t you take her away?"
38690Would they amount to a million?"
38690Yes, but of whose labour?
38690Yes; money represents labour, but whose labour?
38690Yet what are these millions of soldiers but the personal slaves of those who rule them?
38690You do Do you spend much of your time during the day with your children?
38690began the woman, who was evidently not averse to his attentions; but, having caught sight of me, she exclaimed angrily,"Who are you looking for?"
38690could that help any one?
38690every one must do everything for himself?
38690have they locked him up?"
38690must they be left to die of starvation and cold?"
38690or are you that which does not and can not exist,--a man who pities us?"
38690or, What shall we drink?
38690or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
38690or, Why is it that lands and tools are taken from the people who labour on the land and work with the tools?

38690what can I do, who have passed the best years of my life in idle occupations, depraving the soul?
38690what is all my personal physical labour in comparison with the sea of labour which I swallow up?"
38690what pictures, what music, have we created for the people?
38690what?"
