| 43517 | If( as is maintained) the church was built in the fourth century, how came it to be dedicated to St. Martin, who died about 397? |
| 43517 | Is there any evidence to strengthen this assumption in the present building? |
| 43517 | Is there anything in the_ Chancel_ to militate against its Roman origin? |

| 42469 | How far do they exist in practice? |

| 42469 | In considering the plumbing apparatus of a house, the question is often asked,"Are these things safe? |

| 19998 | What_ can_ be the matter? |
| 19998 | Why should a farmer, because he_ is_ a farmer, only occupy an uncouth, outlandish house, any more than a professional man, a merchant, or a mechanic? |
| 19998 | Why, then, should the farmer ape the fashion, and the frivolity of the butterflies of town life, or permit his family to do it? |
| 19998 | how can it be? |
| 19998 | said he, in great joy;"but dear me, why so buttoned up, as if you were going? |

| 17774 | Something like this, sir, would look neat, I think, for the front door; do n''t you? |
| 17774 | Then, the lower windows, I''ve not quite decided upon; but what would you say to Egyptian, sir? |
| 17774 | There is an old rag hanging out of the window: shall it be red or blue? |

| 12625 | And what will Nature say? |
| 12625 | Then how can it come? |
| 12625 | Then how shall we receive Nature? |
| 12625 | Then how will the remedy go into effect? |
| 12625 | What,he asked himself,"is the chief characteristic of the tall office building? |
| 12625 | Again you say,"How can honesty be enforced?" |
| 12625 | And so he goes on with his Jeremiad: a prophet of despair, do you say? |
| 12625 | And why do they believe in it? |
| 12625 | But what of its significance? |
| 12625 | For according to that point of view, a skyscraper is only a symbol-- and of what? |
| 12625 | Has not our body its trunk, bearing aloft the head, like a flower: a cup to hold the precious juices of the brain? |
| 12625 | How then is it possible to consider or discuss an architecture of democracy-- the shadow of a shade? |
| 12625 | Is it not the part of wisdom to cheer, to encourage such a mind, rather than dishearten it with ridicule? |
| 12625 | Is it not the_ world- order_?--the very thing that religion, philosophy, science, strive according to their different natures and methods to express? |
| 12625 | Is our search for some sign of democracy ended, and is it vain? |
| 12625 | The reason is involved in the answer to the question,"Of what is marriage a symbol?" |
| 12625 | Then shall we find in our great hotels, say, such expression? |
| 12625 | This is exactly the aim of the architect-- to fashion beautiful organisms; what better school, therefore, could he have in which to learn his trade? |
| 12625 | To what, specifically, should the architectural student devote his attention in order to improve the quality of his work? |
| 12625 | What Israfil of the future will pour on mortals this new"music of the spheres"? |

| 12625 | What is Architecture? |
| 12625 | What is it, in the last analysis, that all art which is not purely personal and episodical strives to express? |
| 12625 | What is nature''s first visible creative act? |
| 12625 | What is the psychological mood? |
| 12625 | What mystic meaning, it may be asked, is contained in such things as a brick, a house, a hat, a pair of shoes? |
| 12625 | What ornamental_ motif_ of any universality, worth, or importance is less than a hundred years old? |
| 12625 | Why are they beautiful? |
| 12625 | Why do they do this? |
| 12625 | Will the psychology of the new dispensation find expression through some adaptation of four- dimensional geometry? |
| 12625 | Will they re- create, from its ruins, the faithless and loveless feudalism from which the war set them free? |

| 40394 | And, if in some things it is less purely Greek than the rest of that kingdom, what is the cause? |

| 40394 | But how shall the traveller find his way to Aquileia? |
| 40394 | But may we confess to the weakness of looking at all these things only from the deck of the steamer? |
| 40394 | But where was the Hêraion, the temple of Hêrê, which plays a part in more than one of the Thucydidean narratives? |
| 40394 | But who burned the village, and why? |
| 40394 | Did those whose names were written-- for of course few, if any, would write them themselves-- come to the book, or did the book go to them? |

| 40394 | and where was the island opposite to the Hêraion--[Greek: pros to Hêraion]--and the isle of Ptychia, both of which appear in his history? |
| 40394 | how far is it a really intelligent approval of beauty or artistic skill? |

| 35898 | Who wants a new style of painting or sculpture? |
| 35898 | Why not also carve pegs, and hats upon them? |
| 35898 | Would not one such work be better than a thousand histories? |

| 35898 | it will be asked, are we in the habit of doing so? |
| 35898 | it will be said, have not beasts four legs? |
| 35898 | no costly stones in our cabinets? |
| 35898 | no frescoed fancies on our roofs? |
| 35898 | no gilded furniture in our chambers? |
| 35898 | no niched statuary in our corridors? |
| 35898 | purple or scarlet necessary to the people who had seen the great river of Egypt run scarlet to the sea, under His condemnation? |

| 35898 | those taches of brass and sockets of silver? |
| 35898 | who defend them? |
| 35898 | who do them? |
| 14248 | Ah, yes, of course; but''t wo n''t take long to do that? |
| 14248 | And when is the aforesaid copper coming? |
| 14248 | How long? 14248 When is''t a coming? |
| 14248 | Within a week? 14248 You think, then, by a week from next Saturday-- to- day is Thursday morning-- you will have everything cleared up?" |
| 14248 | Am I to understand that you do not approve of lath and plaster for walls and ceilings of first- class dwellings? |
| 14248 | Are the old any better? |
| 14248 | As the question commonly runs,"How high shall the top of the underpinning be?" |
| 14248 | Be generous, did I say? |
| 14248 | But what principle of good taste or hospitality requires you to blockade the main entrance to your house with this same staircase? |
| 14248 | Can you tell why? |
| 14248 | Did you ever lay your hand on a black slate or tin roof exposed to the direct rays of a midsummer sun? |
| 14248 | Did you ever shingle the south side of a barn on a calm, hot, sunny day in July, thermometer at ninety degrees in the shade? |
| 14248 | Do you really expect us to dispense with sliding- doors between the parlors? |
| 14248 | Do you really know anything about them with certainty? |
| 14248 | Do you remember how it is recorded in terse Scripture phrase that"Solomon builded a house and finished it"? |
| 14248 | Do you send all your visitors, of whatever name or nation, direct to the upper regions the moment they enter? |
| 14248 | Do you suppose such a one can be found? |
| 14248 | Does Mrs. John complain that the sunlight will fade her carpets? |
| 14248 | Have I squared up your point? |
| 14248 | Have you been living in a city of late? |
| 14248 | Have you decided what materials to use, whether wood, brick, or stone? |
| 14248 | How am I to know whether the stones that I can find are fit to use? |
| 14248 | How dare you think anything claiming to be a French roof ugly to look at? |
| 14248 | How do you happen to know so much about the millennium? |
| 14248 | How high shall I have the different stories, and will you give me some hints for exterior? |
| 14248 | How shall I ventilate? |
| 14248 | How? |
| 14248 | If so, what would you substitute? |
| 14248 | Is it to be a museum, art- gallery, or memorial hall? |
| 14248 | Is the house to be an end, or a means; a help to make the life- work larger and better, or an added burden? |
| 14248 | Is wrought- iron any better? |
| 14248 | Is your house intended for ornamental purposes, as summer- houses, dove- cots, bird- cages, and the like, often are? |
| 14248 | MY DEAR ARCHITECT: How did you know my ship was coming in? |
| 14248 | Meantime, will you give directions about other inside work? |
| 14248 | No? |
| 14248 | Send you a boxful by express? |
| 14248 | Shall I put the registers in the floors or in the partitions? |
| 14248 | Shall it lift, or crush him? |
| 14248 | Shoddy last spring, or by Mrs. Noah, before her husband launched his fairy boat? |
| 14248 | Speaking of blinds,--what shall be done with the other windows? |
| 14248 | That air house goes up in a hurry, do n''t it? |
| 14248 | What about wainscoting halls or any of the rooms? |
| 14248 | What are mouldings and frets and carvings but a roughening of otherwise smooth surfaces? |
| 14248 | What do you say to steam? |
| 14248 | What do you think of graining where hard wood is not used? |
| 14248 | What do you think of it? |
| 14248 | What if the outside of your walls are somewhat uneven? |
| 14248 | What is the objection to cheap floors, if they are always covered with carpets? |
| 14248 | What kind of a furnace shall I get? |
| 14248 | What would that merciless critic say, or rather what profundity of silence would he employ to express his opinion, of ours? |
| 14248 | Who made the plans?" |
| 14248 | Who should drop down upon us, last week, but our old friend Fred? |
| 14248 | Why do n''t the workmen make allowance for it in fixing the catches? |
| 14248 | Why do n''t you go for it? |
| 14248 | Why do you despise the modern fashions so heartily? |
| 14248 | Why do you want either? |
| 14248 | Why not ask her to arrange matters for you? |
| 14248 | Why not have both? |
| 14248 | Why, then, make the northwest passage thither the most conspicuous route from the door? |
| 14248 | Will it answer to have the ventilating flues in the outer walls? |
| 14248 | Will you please try to understand that a thing of beauty is a joy_ forever_? |
| 14248 | Wo n''t such walls be cold and damp? |
| 14248 | Wood, brick, or stone, then,--which of the three? |
| 14248 | Would n''t they be lovely? |
| 14248 | Would you also like the walls to fit the paper- hangings, and the windows the curtains? |

| 30754 | And, in doing this, is he improving the Word of God? |
| 30754 | Are not all natural things, it may be asked, as lovely near as far away? |
| 30754 | But is he right in his indignation? |
| 30754 | But is it not possible to mend the form still further? |
| 30754 | But it was probably invented( by the Arabs?) |
| 30754 | But was it want of money that made you put that blunt, overloaded, laborious ogee door into the side of it? |
| 30754 | But what has the Romanist done meanwhile? |
| 30754 | But why is he to be in anywise despised? |
| 30754 | Did the reader ever hear of William of Sens as having had anything to do with Canterbury Cathedral? |
| 30754 | Do you seriously imagine, reader, that any living soul in London likes triglyphs? |
| 30754 | Do you suppose that any modern architect likes what he builds, or enjoys it? |
| 30754 | For to what shall we trust for our distinction from the beasts that perish? |
| 30754 | Had we not better do this piece of statistics for ourselves, in time? |
| 30754 | Have we only to copy, and again copy, for ever, the imagery of the universe? |
| 30754 | He boasts that it was the papacy which raised the arts; why could it not support them when it was left to its own strength? |
| 30754 | How are we to manage this? |
| 30754 | How is ornament to be treated with reference to the mind? |
| 30754 | Is that so? |
| 30754 | Is that so? |
| 30754 | Is that so? |
| 30754 | Is there no Diogenes among lilies? |
| 30754 | Is there not a chance of the stone in the middle pushing the others out, or tilting them up and aside, and slipping down itself between them? |
| 30754 | Is there then any reason for filling it up? |
| 30754 | It may be asked why I do not say rocks or mountains? |
| 30754 | Might not Mr. Garbett have seen this without my showing? |
| 30754 | Not much chance of its bursting out at_ p_, now, is there? |
| 30754 | Now in what are you rightly happy? |
| 30754 | Or would it be pleasanter and better to have us all alike, and numbered on our foreheads, that we might be known one from the other? |
| 30754 | Shall we cut its ribs and notches on the edge, or only its general outline? |
| 30754 | Should not_ we_ also be sorry to have Bishop Ambrose without his vest, in that picture of the National Gallery? |
| 30754 | St. George''s was not high enough for want of money? |
| 30754 | The first question is, how to cut the vine- leaf? |
| 30754 | The first question will of course be: What are the possible Virtues of architecture? |
| 30754 | Then, how to arrange the vine- leaves when we have them; whether symmetrically, or at random; or unsymmetrically, yet within certain limits? |
| 30754 | To our higher intellect?--yet are we not bidden to be wise as the serpent, and to consider the ways of the ant?--or to our affections? |
| 30754 | Was it for lack of funds that you sunk the tracery of the parapet in its clumsy zigzags? |
| 30754 | Was it in parsimony that you buried its paltry pinnacles in that eruption of diseased crockets? |
| 30754 | What could they do to better them? |
| 30754 | What has the architect to do with these? |
| 30754 | What is he to do with them? |
| 30754 | What is the meaning of this? |
| 30754 | What right has he to assume that ornament, rightly so called, ever was, or can be, superfluous? |
| 30754 | What think we of yonder slow rise, and crystalline hollow, without a flaw? |
| 30754 | What would that Madonna of the Annunciation be, without the little shrine into which she shrinks back? |
| 30754 | What, then, is noble abstraction? |
| 30754 | What, then, will be the next easiest method of giving interest to the fillet? |
| 30754 | While, however, we have been thus subdividing or assembling our shafts, how far has it been possible to retain their curved or tapered outline? |
| 30754 | Why not leave some room for a chance stroke, work it slightly,_ very_ slightly convex, and smooth the curve by the eye between the two extremities? |
| 30754 | Why triangular? |
| 30754 | Will he not also make the weight for the winds? |
| 30754 | Would that in anywise affect the general principle that he could not have too many books? |
| 30754 | Yes, and were not also the leaves, and the blades of grass; and, in a sort, as far as may be without mark of sin, even the countenance of man? |
| 30754 | [ 30]--or gets any hearty enjoyment out of pediments? |
| 30754 | and make a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder? |
| 30754 | and weigh out the waters by measure? |
| 30754 | and, secondly, what is the manner of masonry of it, which gives it its consistence? |
| 30754 | could n''t you have waited till your friend''s reflux was done with, instead of rolling yourself up with it in that unseemly manner? |
| 30754 | none to be found content to drink dew, but out of silver? |
| 30754 | or in pecuniary embarrassment that you set up the belfry foolscaps, with the mimicry of dormer windows, which nobody can ever reach nor look out of? |
| 30754 | or of Pietro Basegio as in anywise connected with the Ducal Palace of Venice? |
| 30754 | why could n''t you have kept your crest on? |
| 30754 | § V. And now, what have the base and the cornice of the wall been doing while we have been cutting the veil to pieces and gathering it together? |
| 30754 | § V. Is there, then, nothing to be done by man''s art? |
| 41687 | Ah,cried the lad,"you would leave me the earthly reward while you gain the eternal? |
| 41687 | And if I stay, will you stay? |
| 41687 | And why did you make that offering? |
| 41687 | Know you when you will die, Jeanne? |
| 41687 | Why,asked her judges,"was your banner carried into the church of Rheims to the consecration rather than those of the other captains?" |
| 41687 | [ 2] CHAPTER I What Is Gothic Architecture? 41687 *** Cessez: qu''espérez- vous de vos incertitudes, Vains pensers, vains efforts, inutiles études? 41687 A hazard, such juxtaposition? 41687 Abîmés de cette mer profonde, Pendant qu''à l''infini ta clarté nous inonde, Pouvons- nous seulement ouvrir nos faibles yeux? 41687 Ah, gentil duc,''me dit- elle quelques instants après,''aurais- tu peur? 41687 Alas for the_ bons et loyaulx Franxois de la cité de Rains!_ Has Jehanne la Purcelle forgotten her promise never to abandon you? 41687 And what are they doing there? |
| 41687 | Architecturally Avignon does not fit into our category, but who can close a chapter on the Midi and not mention, among gems, this diamond? |
| 41687 | Are personalities lacking? |
| 41687 | Are there not millions of good Christian folk in India to- day? |
| 41687 | Are we not men even as they?" |
| 41687 | But the sadness which the early- Gothic churches of France rouse in the soul, is it not the stumbling name we give to an eternal Hope? |
| 41687 | But what would be Chartres, his spot of election for prayer, were it unsoftened by its"storied windows richly dight"? |
| 41687 | But who that appreciates this great man would tone down his splendid vehemence? |
| 41687 | But why judge a system by its extremes? |
| 41687 | Can a living limb be called a crutch? |
| 41687 | Can churches be the creation of rebellion and hate when into their very stones passed the clamorous vibrant faith of those crusading generations? |
| 41687 | Can that intangible quality which is sheer inevitable beauty be dissected? |
| 41687 | Can the Norman be said to have discerned in diagonals their immense possibilities any clearer than had the Lombard? |
| 41687 | Does not art fill in the intellectual life the same place that hope does in the moral? |
| 41687 | Does such history seem too remote to be of emotional value? |
| 41687 | Does the power of that beauty transcend the senses, that the eye sees what it sees not?... |
| 41687 | Et cela voulait dire: la vie la mort? |
| 41687 | Fire? |
| 41687 | For how, they asked, can a churchman rebuke lay injustices if he owes his position to the very culprits he should censure? |
| 41687 | Had he not denied thrice? |
| 41687 | Had not another of the selected twelve betrayed for paltry lucre? |
| 41687 | Had not everyone of them run away in the hour of need? |
| 41687 | Has your last word of sophistry been said, O cult of slaves? |
| 41687 | How explain why, even when enveloped in night, this cathedral loses nothing of its beauty? |
| 41687 | How is it to be prevented again? |
| 41687 | I would know if you still think of one whom you loved, if, in God''s presence, you can lean toward our distress? |
| 41687 | Ici le plus pauvre homme s''élève au rang des grands intellectuels, des poètes, que dis- je? |
| 41687 | If jealous love should go in search of virtue, Where shall he find it purer than in Blanche? |
| 41687 | If love ambitious sought a match of birth, Whose veins bound richer blood than Lady Blanche? |
| 41687 | If lusty love should go in search of beauty, Where shall he find it fairer than in Blanche? |
| 41687 | In Normandy? |
| 41687 | In Troyes there were so many churches that the old saying ran:"You arrived from Troyes? |
| 41687 | In our own day has the cry of the underman, voiced by the old Norman poet, been silenced? |
| 41687 | In the Roman Breviary, he is thus recorded:"Thou hast written well of me, Thomas, what recompense do you ask of me?" |
| 41687 | Is it fanciful to feel that in the grave forest stillness of Chartres''interior lingers much of the theocratic nostalgia that forever haunts the Celt? |
| 41687 | Mais ne l''a- t- il pas déjà décidé, puisqu''il vous a envoyée?" |
| 41687 | Might not a mocking grotesque beside an angel be taken as emblem of the external antagonism of the animal and the spirit in man? |
| 41687 | Moses was sorcerer and thief( and the Ten Commandments?). |
| 41687 | Ne sait- tu pas que j''ai promis à ta femme de te ramener sain et sauf? |
| 41687 | Now, of us two, whom will the king most honor for guarding his fortresses?" |

| 41687 | Surely not in Lombardy was conceived the new system of construction? |
| 41687 | Surely those enlightened men mused with spiritual benefit before the_ Ecce ancilla Domini_ at Moissac? |
| 41687 | Tell me, you think I would do wrong in leaving?" |
| 41687 | That he should overstress the fall of man and original sin, what wonder? |
| 41687 | The dear words of mock reproach:"What you, the youngest, dare advise me against all the great and the wise men of France? |
| 41687 | The poet voiced the indignant outcry:"Hath not God called us all, bond or free, to his service?" |
| 41687 | WHAT IS GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE? |
| 41687 | Was man meant for the superlative on earth? |
| 41687 | Was not the fate of Spain close at hand to prove the possibility of Oriental invasion? |
| 41687 | Was the last word said? |
| 41687 | What cry from a stricken heart is more moving than Bernard''s lament for his brother Gerard? |
| 41687 | What remains to- day of the XII- century abbatial built by Suger of St. Denis? |
| 41687 | What were Bernard''s thoughts as he gazed at their haunting rendering of the Incarnation? |
| 41687 | What would our critics of Wittemberg and Geneva say? |
| 41687 | What, then, killed Gothic art? |
| 41687 | Where in Burgundy is found the earliest Gothic? |
| 41687 | Where in England are there to be found the earlier trials? |
| 41687 | Who has not watched the widening ripples of water spread from a center? |
| 41687 | Who remembers that he is in a Gothic church when in the somber cathedral of Florence? |
| 41687 | Why has not Tours named her chief square and residential street for Balzac, her own son, instead of for Emile Zola? |
| 41687 | Why? |
| 41687 | Why? |
| 41687 | Would the civic halls of Noyon, Arras, St. Quentin, and Ypres lie in ruins if Frankfort and Lübeck had remembered? |
| 41687 | Yet who, of its devotees, would have it different? |
| 41687 | [ 176] Is it not better to dwell a little sadly far from the world, under the hand of God? |

| 41687 | what found she there? |
| 15678 | And have n''t I always said that men were more conservative than women? 15678 And how are we to know what other little pieces of board may be too near? |
| 15678 | And now if you will walk into my kitchen, which is_ not_ up nor down a winding stair? 15678 And now will you please signify your royal pleasure as to apartments?" |
| 15678 | And spoil it? 15678 And what shall we build it of, jasper, sapphire and chalcedony?" |
| 15678 | Because the sun ca n''t shine around a corner; and Jack, why did you set them so near the floor? 15678 Besides,"said he,"if we decide on hard wood, who shall choose the kinds? |
| 15678 | But how_ can_ you make a tight roof? 15678 But what can they_ do_ with it? |
| 15678 | Ca n''t you see what a_ delicious_ cabinet it will make? 15678 Could n''t you sell it, dear? |
| 15678 | Cut up into wings and things? |
| 15678 | Do n''t you expect to have anything interesting inside the house? |
| 15678 | Do n''t you have fireplaces? |
| 15678 | Do n''t you think he had better bring Uncle Harry along? |
| 15678 | Do you burn wood? |
| 15678 | Do you count closets? |
| 15678 | Do you see the closets at the end of this pantry? 15678 Do you seriously intend to allow that pair of incompatibles to go off to- morrow looking for old furniture and antiquated household implements?" |
| 15678 | Do you think they will do it? |
| 15678 | Except my husband? 15678 For inebriates or the insane?" |
| 15678 | From many of my clients I should expect the first question would be,''Will a house built in this shape look well outside?'' 15678 Have n''t I told you, my dear, that whatever_ is_ well looks well?" |
| 15678 | Have you any idea how the house will look outside,asked Jack, giving the fire a poke,"or is that to be left to take care of itself?" |
| 15678 | Have you selected a lot? |
| 15678 | Have you written to Bessie? |
| 15678 | How can you be so reckless, Jack, as to keep a fire in such a chimney? |
| 15678 | How do I know? 15678 How do you reach the upper shelves?" |
| 15678 | How much will that sort of stuffing cost? |
| 15678 | How will it look standing out there all alone by itself? |
| 15678 | How would you like a colonial house? |
| 15678 | I have n''t any idea what it is all about, but did Jim agree to that? |
| 15678 | I never saw any of that kind, but you_ will_ have some gargoyles, wo n''t you, Jill? |
| 15678 | I never thought of it before, but why should n''t milk and beer and other medicinal drinks be distributed in the same way as water and gas? |
| 15678 | I thought you objected to the dress anology? |
| 15678 | I''m ready for the question; are you? |
| 15678 | Including the guest chambers? |
| 15678 | Is Aunt Melville as solemn as Aunt Jerusha? |
| 15678 | Is it about floors? |
| 15678 | Is it paid for? |
| 15678 | Is n''t it the same thing as offering samples of goods? |
| 15678 | Is n''t this discourse a little out of season? |
| 15678 | Is n''t this getting sort of misty, what you might call''transcendental like''? |
| 15678 | Is n''t this rather a solemn letter? |
| 15678 | Less than five dollars for the whole lot, did you say, Jim? 15678 My dear, did it ever occur to you that you can not be too thankful for a wife who is not blown about by every wind of new doctrine? |
| 15678 | No, the whole thing; how many rooms will it have? |
| 15678 | Not good enough? |
| 15678 | Now, really, Miss Bessie,said Jim, when the farmer had gone to call the men,"do n''t you think it''s rather a clumsy affair? |
| 15678 | Now, really, my dear, do n''t you think you are coming it rather strong, if I may be allowed the expression? 15678 Now, really, would n''t you mind it? |
| 15678 | Oh, but wo n''t the neighbors rage and imagine vain things when they see a house with here and there a blind and here and there an awning? |
| 15678 | Oh, you mean terra cotta? |
| 15678 | One road leads to fire and the other to combustion; that''s plain enough,said Jack;"but where do the merits come in? |
| 15678 | One thing more, Jill, when we come to make our wills to which one of the children shall we bequeath the castle? |
| 15678 | Please could we go up in the garret and look for it? 15678 Say, Jill, do you suppose we shall live to see all our necessities supplied, gratis, and have nothing to work for except the luxuries?" |
| 15678 | Shall we try it in the new house? |
| 15678 | Should you be willing to sell it for old brass? 15678 Suppose he should wish to try it?" |
| 15678 | Tapirs? 15678 Then, as an investment, what object is there in attempting to make buildings fireproof or even approximately so?" |
| 15678 | This is one of the questions which I refer to you, but will answer for you if you send it back: How shall the eyes of the house be closed? 15678 We sha n''t have to go away from home to get into purgatory, shall we?" |
| 15678 | Well, why should n''t they, Aunt''Rusha? |
| 15678 | What becomes of our hospitality if we keep the best for ourselves? |
| 15678 | What becomes of the decorations when the tapers burn up? |
| 15678 | What do you think of it? |
| 15678 | What for? |
| 15678 | What if you had none? |
| 15678 | What is the use of making them long at the top? 15678 What shall I say to Jim?" |
| 15678 | What shall we do with the big hole in the center? 15678 What, the roof?" |
| 15678 | Where is the smoking- room? |
| 15678 | Why not have a bonfire and liquidate some of this superfluous stock? |
| 15678 | Why not make an appropriation of fifty dollars apiece for each grate, mantel and hearth, and have him do the best he can with it? |
| 15678 | Why not this evening? |
| 15678 | Why not, if there''s the same amount of glass? |
| 15678 | Why should I? 15678 Why should he trouble himself about the pattern of the wood floors any more than he would about the style of the carpets?" |
| 15678 | Why should these plans worry you? |
| 15678 | Without money and without price? |
| 15678 | Wo n''t all these pipes, wooden beams, bell ropes and things be fearfully dusty and cumber the housekeeper with too much serving? 15678 Would n''t it be much cheaper and better to hire some skillful artist to do these things?" |
| 15678 | Would n''t it be well, dear, if all the upper part was made into cupboards for things seldom used? |
| 15678 | Would you like to experiment in the new house? 15678 Would you sell it?" |
| 15678 | Written to Bessie? 15678 Yes, but would you advise me to have the pantry in the new house like it?" |
| 15678 | _ Shall_ you''do your own work''? |
| 15678 | _ Would_ you be willing to sell it? |
| 15678 | Are n''t you afraid our court will be dreadfully hot in summer, shut in by four brick walls?" |
| 15678 | Are the plans made? |
| 15678 | As their neighbors live? |
| 15678 | As they have been in the habit of living? |
| 15678 | As they ought to live? |
| 15678 | As they would like to live? |
| 15678 | Bessie smiled and asked,"Are you the farmer?" |
| 15678 | But how do you propose to put even forty rooms with their various pockets under one roof and give them all plenty of sunlight and fresh air? |
| 15678 | But what do castles in Spain care for the cost? |
| 15678 | But where shall the bed stand? |
| 15678 | But why do you call this a''sitting- room?'' |
| 15678 | But why should I want to live in an uncomfortable old curiosity shop when I like my house just as it is? |
| 15678 | Ca n''t we have two?" |
| 15678 | Ca n''t we work the same idea on a smaller scale?" |
| 15678 | Could there be a cat or a dog in the room? |
| 15678 | Did n''t you make the plans of this house? |
| 15678 | Do n''t you delight in the antique, Mr. James, when it is n''t too horrible?" |
| 15678 | Do n''t you love to muse and dream in the fading twilight?" |
| 15678 | Do you like a fireplace in the hall, Jack?" |
| 15678 | Do you mean tallow or wax?" |
| 15678 | Do you never long for abstract beauty?" |
| 15678 | Do you?" |
| 15678 | Has he any practical advice to give?" |
| 15678 | Has n''t it always been perfectly suited to our wants? |
| 15678 | Has n''t it been all our fancy painted and a great deal more? |
| 15678 | Have n''t I always said that women would make the best architects if they had a fair chance? |
| 15678 | Have n''t we just had the''equinoctial''? |
| 15678 | Have you got any old-- I mean, can you give us a drink of water? |
| 15678 | How about the roof-- is that also a matter of evolution?" |
| 15678 | How can I exorcise such demons as these except by tearing down the house?" |
| 15678 | How can I help it? |
| 15678 | How can one part be higher than the rest?" |
| 15678 | How can we respect ourselves or expect our friends to respect us if the most conspicuous thing in the house is a palpable fraud?" |
| 15678 | How can you cover such a big box, and where is the cooking to be done?" |
| 15678 | How do you expect glasses to be made clean and silver bright in such a place? |
| 15678 | How do you suppose Bess found it out?" |
| 15678 | How large will it be?" |
| 15678 | I shall always believe in horseshoes after this; but_ is n''t_ it a pity we ca n''t carry home the well- sweep?" |
| 15678 | I suppose these are modern improvements, but how much better will the dinners be than the dinners cooked in my kitchen? |
| 15678 | Is domestic comfort and well- being the chief motive? |
| 15678 | Is n''t it possible that your present views may be slightly tinged by the color of the east wind, so to speak?" |
| 15678 | Is n''t that rather overdoing the matter?" |
| 15678 | Is n''t that right?" |
| 15678 | Is n''t there a mate to it somewhere? |
| 15678 | Is n''t this our own? |
| 15678 | Jack called after her,"what are you going up stairs for?" |
| 15678 | Jack, why did n''t you get a wife before you planned your house?" |
| 15678 | James?" |
| 15678 | James?" |
| 15678 | James?" |
| 15678 | James?" |
| 15678 | Jim, ca n''t I hire you to go out among the unesthetic heathens and buy up a few loads of heirlooms and other relics of former greatness? |
| 15678 | Now what shall be said on this subject? |
| 15678 | Oh, and that reminds me, have you any old andirons, anywhere around?" |
| 15678 | Or does it rather indicate the instinctive struggle for supremacy over nature? |
| 15678 | Shall I send up some pale lilies for dessert? |
| 15678 | Shall the eyelids be outside blinds, inside folding shutters,''Queen Anne''rolling blinds, sliding blinds or Venetian shades? |
| 15678 | They generally go in pairs, do n''t they?" |
| 15678 | WHAT SHALL WE STAND UPON? |
| 15678 | WHAT SHALL WE STAND UPON? |
| 15678 | Well, what next?" |
| 15678 | What do you think about it, Jim?" |
| 15678 | What for?" |
| 15678 | What is he driving at?" |
| 15678 | What is the little room in the southwest corner for?" |
| 15678 | What is this little room for?" |
| 15678 | What next, Jill?" |
| 15678 | What next?" |
| 15678 | What next?" |
| 15678 | What next?" |
| 15678 | What upon earth are you thinking of?" |
| 15678 | What_ will_ it be like? |
| 15678 | When is he coming?" |
| 15678 | Where do you say the library is?" |
| 15678 | Why did n''t you tell me?" |
| 15678 | Why do n''t you go to a furniture store and get what you want first- hand? |
| 15678 | Will Bessie be here?" |
| 15678 | Will you kindly allow us to have a glimpse of the interior?" |
| 15678 | Will you pile them up one above another or set them in a row on the ground? |
| 15678 | Will you walk into my parlor?" |
| 15678 | Will your horse stand?" |
| 15678 | Wo n''t it look like an institution or a row of tenements if it is strung out in a line?" |
| 15678 | You_ will_ forgive me, wo n''t you, Jill, dear? |
| 15678 | [ Illustration: THE POOR BUT MODEST ATTORNEY''S COTTAGE]"Do n''t you think the room would look rather bare without a mantel? |
| 15678 | _ Is_ it about floors, Jill?" |
| 15678 | where have you laid your conscience? |
| 15678 | whispered Bessie, and then, turning to their host, inquired--"Do you use it every day?" |
