22245	And did England begin to build railroads right away?
22245	And he had to give up the race?
22245	And out of all this grew the Boston and Albany Railroad?
22245	And was n''t it?
22245	And what did they do with the flour?
22245	And where is it now?
22245	And who was the next promoter?
22245	And you have been sent to hunt my son up?
22245	And you, Dick-- what do you say?
22245	And you, Steve-- do you subscribe to the contract?
22245	And your family, Mr. Ackerman, were mixed up in all this steamboat rumpus?
22245	Anyhow,he argued with rising irritability,"what good does it do to discuss things that are over and done with?
22245	Anyway, girls are not expected to know who invented all the machines in the world, are they, Dad?
22245	Are n''t you putting it rather strong?
22245	Are you going to finish your steamboat story for us while you are here?
22245	But ca n''t I do something now to make good, Dad?
22245	But could n''t you go?
22245	But was this absurd venture a success?
22245	But why did n''t they want a railroad?
22245	Ca n''t you tell me anything about it?
22245	Could n''t I walk it, Dad?
22245	Decided yet whether you will be a railroad man like your Dad, or a steamboat man like me?
22245	Degrees of longitude?
22245	Did he go so far as to patent it, Henry?
22245	Did he resurrect the boat?
22245	Did n''t Massachusetts do anything except build the old granite road at Quincy?
22245	Did n''t the opening of the Manchester and Liverpool Railroad convince the kickers they were wrong?
22245	Did the Marquis of Worcester go on with his experiments and make other things?
22245	Did the car go?
22245	Did the line go all the way across the country?
22245	Did the road reach no farther than Lake Erie?
22245	Did the steam engine come soon afterward?
22245	Did they go on using the railroad after that?
22245	Did they tear the trestle down and build another?
22245	Did you like it, sonny?
22245	Did you really mean, Mr. Ackerman,he faltered,"that we could ask you questions?"
22245	Did you say you were hungry, Henry?
22245	Did you?
22245	Do n''t all ships have to be inspected, too?
22245	Do n''t you know it is never safe to leave anything of value in your coat when you are staying at a large city hotel? 22245 Do n''t you remember I told you that I had n''t looked inside yet?"
22245	Do you mean to say that ten thousand persons were killed while that railroad was being built?
22245	Do you want to come along or stay here?
22245	Does n''t gasoline evaporate, Henry?
22245	Each man had his own axe to grind, eh?
22245	Eh-- what did you say?
22245	Every year more and more things roll up to remember, do n''t they? 22245 Everything been all right here, son?"
22245	Had enough, sonny?
22245	Had n''t you looked over the bonds and stuff since you took them home?
22245	Have I said so?
22245	Have you been up to Mr. Ackerman''s house yet and seen the boats?
22245	Have you the things now?
22245	He does n''t want you to-- see? 22245 He is at luncheon?
22245	He lets you use it, eh?
22245	He was spared something, was n''t he, Dad?
22245	His collection, you mean? 22245 How are you, Steve?
22245	How did Watt come to know so much about engines?
22245	How did they differ from those we have now, Dad?
22245	How did you ever get it together? 22245 How did you happen to do it this time?"
22245	How did you know who it belonged to?
22245	How do you solve the riddle, Havens?
22245	How many people did the train hold?
22245	I asked, sir, if that pocketbook was your property?
22245	I beg pardon, sir,said he with deference,"but does that pocketbook belong to you?"
22245	I wonder what they would have said if somebody had told them then that sometime people would be going from Boston to New York in five hours?
22245	If Dad does n''t want us to go there that''s enough, is n''t it?
22245	Is everything in, Steve?
22245	Is he a relative?
22245	Is it yours?
22245	Is n''t it absurd to be hungry so early in the day?
22245	Is the kind of engine Watt invented now in use?
22245	Is there anything else I can do for you?
22245	Is your father especially interested in railroads?
22245	It is a pretty fine car, is n''t it?
22245	It was a fortunate thing they did, was n''t it?
22245	It was tough on Fulton and his friends, though, was n''t it?
22245	It was, was n''t it?
22245	It would be a jolly subject for a debate, would n''t it?
22245	It would be a terrible humiliation if I should discover that I could not do it, would n''t it?
22245	It''s a great game-- living-- isn''t it, Dad?
22245	It''s funny to think of, is n''t it?
22245	May I speak to Mr. Ackerman, please?
22245	May we come up to your house with it now?
22245	Nobody else is responsible for you?
22245	Not all the thieves you arrest take you to a theater party afterward, do they, Officer?
22245	Nothing?
22245	Oh, he will be here directly, will he? 22245 Opposed to it?"
22245	Our boys have done well, have n''t they, Ackerman? 22245 Pretty tough, was n''t it?"
22245	Railroad officials would have some job to list passengers now, would n''t they?
22245	Railroading certainly had its troubles, did n''t it?
22245	So Dick is setting forth on his education, is he?
22245	So far as I can see we shall have to leave the matter a draw, sha n''t we, Tolman?
22245	So the pocketbook was at your house over night?
22245	So the railroad men were converted, were they?
22245	So you are a skater, are you, Tolman?
22245	So you like my moving picture, do you, Steve?
22245	So your father did not know you had the car out the other day?
22245	Some city, is n''t it?
22245	Some show, eh, son?
22245	Steamboats?
22245	Such as?
22245	Suppose I knew nothing about it, where would we be? 22245 That is a squarer deal, is n''t it?"
22245	That plan sounds rather nice, does n''t it, Jane?
22245	The State stuck to its bargain, then,murmured Steve,"and left Livingston the rights awarded him?"
22245	The inspectors or somebody else would have put an end to such a crazy scheme jolly quick if it had been in our day, would n''t they?
22245	Think you would have preferred to cross the continent by wagon rather than by train?
22245	Three?
22245	To- morrow?
22245	Trap me?
22245	Was it Watt who invented the locomotive, too?
22245	Was it really as bad as that before the railroads were built?
22245	Was n''t he the one who tried sails on a railroad train?
22245	Was the trip a success?
22245	We have got that match to play off, and now that the electric cars are held up by the strike how are we to get to Torrington? 22245 Well, my boy, what have you to say for yourself?"
22245	Well, son, have you enjoyed your holiday?
22245	Well, son,said he, as they took their places in the large dining room,"what is the prospect for to- day?
22245	Well, the railroads were built just the same, were n''t they?
22245	Well, we caught it, did n''t we, Dick? 22245 Well, what is up for to- day, boys?"
22245	Well, why do n''t you say something?
22245	Well?
22245	Were any more railroads like the Quincy road built in America?
22245	Were there other races like that?
22245	What are we going to do, Dad?
22245	What are we in the world for if not to do one another a good turn when we can?
22245	What are you planning to do with Dick, Stephen?
22245	What are you thinking of, son?
22245	What became of the clipper ships?
22245	What business is that of yours?
22245	What did he do then?
22245	What did you do with it?
22245	What do you think yourself?
22245	What engines did follow?
22245	What happened?
22245	What is it?
22245	What is the matter with the car?
22245	What is there to say?
22245	What was the first American steamship to cross the Atlantic, Ackerman?
22245	What would they have said to crossing the water by aeroplane or bobbing up in a foreign port in a submarine?
22245	What''s hindering you?
22245	What''s the good of being such a boob? 22245 What''s the trouble with your machine?"
22245	What''s wrong, Ackerman?
22245	What''s wrong, Henry?
22245	When did England adopt railroads in place of stagecoaches, Dad?
22245	When was the first American railroad built?
22245	Where are you going?
22245	Where are you staying?
22245	Where is he?
22245	Where is that child?
22245	Where was New England all this time?
22245	Who did finally invent the railroad?
22245	Who do you live with?
22245	Who wants me?
22245	Who''s going to be the wiser if you do take the car? 22245 Who''s this?
22245	Why do n''t we go, too?
22245	Why should n''t you make me proud of you?
22245	Why, they could have marched it in less time than that, could n''t they?
22245	Why?
22245	You are a detective?
22245	You are sure no one took the things out while you were asleep last night?
22245	You checked your coat and left it there?
22245	You do n''t mean that you left it in your ulster pocket and let them hang it out there on the rack?
22245	You knew before we went skating then?
22245	You know what I did?
22245	You liked Mr. Ackerman also, did n''t you, son? 22245 You mean somebody thinks my son took the pocketbook?"
22245	You mean that even now it is n''t too late?
22245	You recall how even the more civilized and better educated English and French opposed the first railroads? 22245 You think there are handsomer boats in the room than these, do you?"
22245	You''re going back to school, are n''t you, youngster?
22245	You-- you-- won''t tell my father about my taking the car, will you?
22245	_ I_ tell him?
22245	A moment later a cheery voice which Steve at once recognized to be that of the steamboat man came over the wire:"Well, sonny?"
22245	Ackerman?"
22245	Ackerman?"
22245	Ackerman?"
22245	Alas, was he never to be free of the nagging mortification that had followed that single act?
22245	And if afterward, who took them?
22245	And where was the workmen''s food to come from if they were plunged into a wilderness beyond the reach of civilization?
22245	Anyhow, you have run it before, have n''t you?
22245	Are you feeling fit for more adventures?"
22245	Are you satisfied and ready to go to bed and to sleep now?"
22245	Besides, I sha n''t do it again, so what is the use of jawing about it?"
22245	But was the folly so terrible?
22245	But what, he argued, could he do?
22245	Can you ask for anything more primitive than that?"
22245	Did n''t the Indians attack the workmen?
22245	Did not iron always sink?
22245	Did not the old adage say that"experience is the best teacher"?
22245	Do you remember?"
22245	Do you think if my father had a car and it was standing idle in the garage when a bunch of kids needed it to go to a school game I would hesitate?
22245	Doris persisted,"and who did invent our steam engine?"
22245	Eh, son?"
22245	Even suppose the boys did remember to send back help( they probably wouldn''t-- but suppose they did) how was he to pay a machinist?
22245	Every moment he expected that his father or Havens would wheel on him and ask accusingly:"When was it you carried all those boys to Torrington?"
22245	Fainting away?"
22245	For a moment he could not speak; then when he had caught his breath he exclaimed excitedly:"How can I get some gasoline?"
22245	Had not the workman who had replenished it Wednesday said quite plainly that there was only enough gas in it to get him home to Coventry?
22245	He has been compelled to bone down like a beaver to go ahead with his class; but he has succeeded, have n''t you, sonny?"
22245	He was safely out of the entanglement and was it not just as well to accept his escape with gratitude and let sleeping dogs lie?
22245	How about yours, Steve?"
22245	How could I have?"
22245	How could they?"
22245	How did you sleep?"
22245	How is that?"
22245	How was America to know anything different?
22245	However, if he wants to have a second glimpse of our boats now we''ll let him, wo n''t we, Dick?"
22245	If he began to ask questions might not the stranger assume the same privilege and wheel upon him with some embarrassing inquiry?
22245	If he had known the thing was valuable, do you suppose he would have left it in his ulster pocket and checked the coat in a public place like this?"
22245	Is n''t that so, Havens?"
22245	Is that a bargain, youngster?"
22245	It seems odd, does n''t it?"
22245	It tells its own story, does n''t it?"
22245	Just because I happen to be a superintendent do you think me a volume of railroad history, young woman?
22245	Moreover, to build a railroad of such length would take a lifetime and where was the money coming from?
22245	Neither Stephen nor I cherish the least ill- will about the affair; do we, son?"
22245	O''Malley?"
22245	Our commerce reaches out to every corner of the earth and why should we rely on other countries to transport our goods?"
22245	Presently his mother called from the tonneau:"Is n''t that the Taylors''car, Henry, coming toward us?
22245	So you want to hear more about it, do you?"
22245	Some day he will be driving it alone, wo n''t you, son?"
22245	Such contingencies were of course to be deplored but as they could not be helped, why let them ruin the entire holiday?
22245	Suppose we divide up the responsibility and foist half of it on Stephen?
22245	The boy knew he had done nothing wrong; but would he be able to convince the detective of the truth of his story?
22245	Then the newcomer came to a stop and he heard a pleasant voice:"What''s the matter, sonny?"
22245	Then turning toward his wife, he added in bantering fashion:"Are n''t you getting a little frivolous, my dear?
22245	There is no filling him up; is there, boy?"
22245	Vanderbilt?"
22245	Was it always to lurk in the background and make him ashamed to confront the world squarely?
22245	Was it not like the railroad trains used in England?
22245	Was there ever writer more tantalizing?"
22245	We should very much enjoy having you, should n''t we, Stephen?"
22245	Were the things taken out before the bill book fell into your son''s hands or afterward?
22245	What business was it of his, anyway, and why was he so solicitous as to where he went?
22245	What did they do?"
22245	What do you say?"
22245	What do you say?"
22245	What if the stranger should ask to see it?
22245	What if there had been valuable papers in it, money-- a great deal of money-- and now through his carelessness it had all disappeared?
22245	What is the use of spoiling a fine morning like this talking business?"
22245	What is to become of him now?
22245	What is your theory?"
22245	What on earth has happened to the thing, Havens?
22245	What reason had he to suppose a mishap would befall him when they were not by?
22245	What should he do with it?
22245	What was he to do?
22245	What would be the use of telling?
22245	What would his father think of him if he knew what a mean- spirited coward he was?
22245	Where did we break off our story?
22245	Who could blame him for not wanting to confess his misdemeanors before an audience?
22245	Who had the chance?
22245	Who knows?
22245	Who was this mysterious mechanic and why should he assume with such certainty that Coventry was the abiding place of the car?
22245	Who would not have liked, for example, to set out with Mr. Pickwick for the Christmas holidays at Dingley Dell?
22245	Whom shall I ask for at the hotel?"
22245	Why do n''t you plan to do that too, Ackerman?
22245	Why not let the matter rest there?
22245	Why not speak out now and clear up the wretched deception he had practiced, and start afresh with a clean conscience?
22245	Why not?
22245	Why not?"
22245	Why was n''t it better anyway to wait until he and his father were quiet and alone?
22245	Will not the world be the better for all these things?
22245	Will that be agreeable to you?"
22245	Would it not be much wiser to wait?
22245	Yet how could he have stopped at the Coventry garage even had he thought of it?
22245	You are going right back, are n''t you?"
22245	he protested good- humoredly,"what do you think I am?
