| 17624 | But have you no old paintings, Mr. Vice Principal-- no Burgmairs, Cranachs, or Albert Durers? |
| 17624 | But is it_ too late_ to erect his statue? 17624 But our Shakspeare and Milton, Sir-- what think you of these?" |
| 17624 | But tell me, worthy and learned Sir,( continued I) why so particular about the_ Statius_? 17624 But where( replied I) is the_ statue_ of this heroic collector, to whom your library is probably indebted for its choicest treasures? |

| 17624 | Would any sum induce you to part with it? |
| 17624 | _ Bibliothecam hujusce Monasterii valdè videre cupio-- licetne Domine? 17624 ( Upon whom, NOW, shall this task devolve?!) 17624 ( exclaimed the professor-- for M. Le Bret is a Professor of belles- lettres),I observe that you are perfectly enchanted with what is before you?" |

| 17624 | I asked him, why? |
| 17624 | I asked my sable attendant, if this book could be parted with-- either for money, or in exchange for other books? |

| 17624 | Is he alive? |
| 17624 | Is it thus, thought I to myself, that"they order things in"Germany? |
| 17624 | Is one word further necessary to say that a finer copy, upon paper, can not exist? |

| 2024 | Savoury? |
| 2024 | Sure? |
| 2024 | Well, then where are the clothes? |
| 2024 | What could have induced these old fellows,I said to B.,"to choose such very uninteresting subjects? |
| 2024 | What do you mean,''we sit with our mugs open''? |
| 2024 | What has that to do with you? |
| 2024 | What should I want to do that for? |
| 2024 | What''s the good of it to us, then? |
| 2024 | Why? |
| 2024 | Yes, but so has the gentleman whose seat you have taken got to get there,I remonstrated;"what about him? |
| 2024 | Yes,I say, looking over his shoulder;"but do n''t you see the 4 is in thick type? |

| 2024 | Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Copenhagen? |
| 2024 | Besides, if anyone has landed, where is he? |

| 2024 | Frankfort for Strasburg? |
| 2024 | Have you any objection to my being English?" |
| 2024 | Have you him to see where? |
| 2024 | He said( in Scandinavian, of course):"You speak Norwegian?" |
| 2024 | He says:"Where''s the bed?" |
| 2024 | He smokes for a while in silence, and then, taking the pipe from his lips, he says:"Does it matter very much what you say about it?" |
| 2024 | Here?" |
| 2024 | Him to see-- anybody-- where?" |
| 2024 | How on earth were we ever to find each other again? |
| 2024 | I said:"My friend-- big, great, tall, large-- is he where? |
| 2024 | I said:"Who''s put me over here? |
| 2024 | I wonder why it goes round by Brussels, though? |

| 2024 | Well then, where does the 1.45 go to? |
| 2024 | Well, if it is the bed, then what is it doing out here, on the top of everything else? |
| 2024 | Well, where does it stop? |
| 2024 | What can I say that has not been said, and said much better, already? |
| 2024 | What can I say that the reader does not know, or that, not knowing, he cares to know? |
| 2024 | What can be expected from such a train? |

| 2024 | What does it matter what any of us says about anything? |
| 2024 | What does it want?" |

| 2024 | You do n''t know any Sanscrit or Chaldean, do you?" |
| 2024 | and helped the tale along by such ejaculations as,"No, did he though?" |
| 2024 | answers the station- master, surprised,"where did it come from?" |

| 16224 | And if you take river scenery into the account, what is the_ Seine_, in the neighbourhood of Paris, compared with the_ Thames_ in that of London? |
| 16224 | At length, turning a corner, a group of country people appeared--"Est- ce ici la route de Tancarville?" |
| 16224 | Before dawn of day I heard incessant juvenile voices beneath the window of my bedroom at the Grand Turc; What might this mean? |
| 16224 | But do you know no one...?" |
| 16224 | But tell me, Sir, how can I obtain a sight of the CHAPTER LIBRARY, and of the famous TAPESTRY?" |
| 16224 | But the sun was beginning to cast his shadows broader and broader, and where was the residence of Monsieur and Madame S----? |
| 16224 | But, would you believe it? |

| 16224 | who, by his strength, policy and wit kept them all out of the principal dominions of France, and out of this noble duchy of Normandy? |
| 17107 | !--as if every reader of common sense would not have given_ me_, rather than the_ Abbé Bétencourt_, credit for this bad speaking? |
| 17107 | Are the old and more curious books deposited here? |
| 17107 | But see, Sir,( continued he) is not this curious? |
| 17107 | Could Monsieur refuse this trifling payment? |
| 17107 | Had he any thing old and curious? |
| 17107 | Have you no curiosities of any kind--(said I to him) for sale? |
| 17107 | Is it possible to obtain a copy of this picture? |
| 17107 | Is it the top of the spire of Strasbourg Cathedral? |
| 17107 | Is the Son at home? |
| 17107 | Now that I am in this magical region, my good friend, allow me to inspect the famous PRAYER BOOK of CHARLEMAGNE? |
| 17107 | Vous le connoissez parfaitement bien, sans doute? |
| 17107 | Was the date legitimate? |
| 17107 | What is that? |
| 17107 | What is the subject to be? |
| 17107 | What might have been the charge per sheet? |
| 17107 | What might it have been? |
| 17107 | What might that be? |
| 17107 | What might that be? |
| 17107 | What might this mean? |
| 17107 | What want you there? |
| 17107 | Where is the original? |
| 17107 | Again-- if you convert them to_ other_ purposes of destruction, how can you hope to prevent the same example from being followed in other places? |
| 17107 | And do not mental affliction and bodily debility generally go together? |
| 17107 | And now, my good friend, suppose I furnish you with an outline of the worthy head- librarian himself? |
| 17107 | And to have it engraved there?" |
| 17107 | And wherefore? |
| 17107 | And who, think you, should that stranger turn out to be? |
| 17107 | And why is it thus? |
| 17107 | And yet it may be doubted whether the latter were absolutely printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz for their_ first_ edition? |
| 17107 | And yet, when will nations learn that few things tend so strongly to keep alive a pure spirit of PATRIOTISM as_ such_ a study or pursuit? |
| 17107 | And yet, where have I spoken ungraciously and uncourteously of Madame?] |
| 17107 | Are you thoroughly awake, and disenchanted from the magic which the contents of the preceding letter may have probably thrown around you? |
| 17107 | At least he must have a_ missal_ or two?" |
| 17107 | Barbier?" |
| 17107 | But I think I hear the wish escape him-- as he casts an attentive eye over the whole--"why do they not imitate us in a publication relating to them? |
| 17107 | But what do I see yonder? |
| 17107 | But what then? |
| 17107 | But"where are my favourite ECCLESIASTICAL EDIFICES?" |
| 17107 | But, what do you think supplied its place during the late Revolution, or in the year of our Lord 1794, on the 4th day of May? |
| 17107 | But, you may be disposed to add,"has this celebrated man no collection of Books?--no LIBRARY? |
| 17107 | Can it be so? |
| 17107 | Can such an union, therefore, be quite correct? |
| 17107 | Can there be the smallest shadow of doubt about the truth of the above assertion? |
| 17107 | Can this be in nature? |
| 17107 | Certainly the whole book has very much the air of a_ Copy_: and besides, would not the originals have been upon separate rolls of parchment? |
| 17107 | Could they not be placed in the chapel of St. Lawrence, or of St. Catharine, in the cathedral? |
| 17107 | Crapelet.?] |
| 17107 | Did the_ remaining_ volumes ever so exist? |
| 17107 | Did you ever, my dear friend, approach a fortified town by the doubtful light of a clouded moon, towards eleven of the clock? |
| 17107 | Do you ask this question? |
| 17107 | Does any perfect copy, of this kind, exist? |
| 17107 | Et votre grand capitaine, le DUC DE VELLINGTON, comment se porte il? |
| 17107 | Every now and then Louis turned round, and said to Bignon,"Bignon, have I got that book in my library?" |
| 17107 | Geneviève among the spectators.. and turning to his prime minister, exclaimed"Choiseul, how can one distinguish the_ true_ Bible of Sixtus V.?" |
| 17107 | I have lived fifty- nine years, the happiest of men-- and should I not be ungrateful towards Providence, if I complained of its decrees?!" |
| 17107 | I put it to the conscience of the most sober- minded observer of men and things-- if any earthly object can be more orthodox and legitimate? |
| 17107 | If you set fire to them, can you say how far the flames shall extend? |
| 17107 | In its original binding, with the ornaments tolerably entire:--and what binding should this be, but that of Henry the Second and Diane de Poictiers? |
| 17107 | Is it because some few hundred thousand_ printed volumes_ are deposited therein? |
| 17107 | Is there any representation of him, in the same situation, upon his_ return_? |
| 17107 | It is of the size of life; but surely a statue of_ Minerva_ would have been a little more appropriate? |

| 17107 | Or rather, speaking more correctly, why are not the_ Marlborough Gems_ considered as an object of rivalry, by the curators of this exquisite cabinet? |
| 17107 | Ought not M. Crapelet to have said"il mourrira?" |
| 17107 | Possibly I might wish to possess them?" |
| 17107 | Quære tamen? |

| 17107 | The attendant sees your misery, and approaches:"Que desirez vous, Monsieur?" |
| 17107 | The other day, when dining with some smart, lively, young Parisians, I was compelled to defend RAFFAELLE against David? |
| 17107 | The present is a sound, clean, and desirable copy: but why in such gay, red morocco, binding? |
| 17107 | The question therefore, was, after a good deal of pertinacious argument on both sides-- which of the two impressions was the MORE ANCIENT? |
| 17107 | Was it_ originally_ more_ piquan?_ I have reason not only to suspect, but to know, that it WAS. |
| 17107 | Was this object necessary to tell the tale?--or, rather, did not the sculptor deem it necessary to_ balance_( as is called) the figure? |
| 17107 | What is this singular portrait, which strikes one to the left, on entering? |
| 17107 | What may this mean? |
| 17107 | What must repeated glimpses have produced? |
| 17107 | What say you to this, Messrs. Lesné and Crapelet? |
| 17107 | What then? |
| 17107 | What therefore is to be done? |
| 17107 | What think you, among these"choice copies,"of the_ Cancionero Generale_ printed at Toledo in 1527, in the black letter, double columned, in folio? |

| 17107 | Why does he not visit us? |
| 17107 | Will the reader object to disporting himself with some REMBRANDTIANA, in the_ Bibliomania_ p. 680- 2.? |
| 17107 | Would I do him the favour of a visit? |
| 17107 | Would you believe it-- here are absolutely TWO copies of this glorious effort of the Aldine Press, printed UPON VELLUM!? |
| 17107 | Would you believe it-- nearly one half of the illumination, at top, has been sliced away? |
| 17107 | Would you believe it? |
| 17107 | Yet why do I find it in my heart to tell you that, towards the middle, many leaves are stained at the top of the right margin?! |
| 17107 | You enquire"whether Monsieur BARBIER, the chief Librarian, be within?" |

| 46102 | And the new picture, is it finished yet? |
| 46102 | And who is it this time? |
| 46102 | And-- and do you fight there? |
| 46102 | Are all the stores open Sunday? |
| 46102 | Are many Wagner operas produced here? |
| 46102 | Broad? |
| 46102 | But what_ do_ you find to fight about in these peaceful times? |
| 46102 | By the bye,said I, as we were walking through Theatiner- strasse,"did I make a great many mistakes in my note to you?" |
| 46102 | Could n''t you tell me what city she lives in? |
| 46102 | Have you ever played string quarters from score, Fräulein? |
| 46102 | Is it the custom to celebrate this instead of the birthday? |
| 46102 | Is n''t it awful? |
| 46102 | Is n''t it odd that some of them choose red and the others choose green, as if they belonged to a college team? |
| 46102 | Is n''t it splendid? |
| 46102 | Is that by your national composer, Sousa? |
| 46102 | Is the class full,_ Herr Sekretariat_? |
| 46102 | Like Munich? 46102 My dear young lady, what can you possibly want of orchestral scores?" |
| 46102 | Orchestral scores? |
| 46102 | So you are enjoying the Parada, are you? |
| 46102 | Was the lieutenant in town then? |
| 46102 | We thought you were lost, is n''t it? |
| 46102 | Well, Fräulein, what have you? |
| 46102 | What can you expect when a girl betrothed to an officer makes ready for a grand wedding in the spring? 46102 What does one have to do?" |
| 46102 | What_ are_ you doing? |
| 46102 | Why not soothe our ears with a ditty akin to this? |
| 46102 | You are English, are you not? |
| 46102 | You do n''t have anything half as jolly in America, do you? |
| 46102 | You really did n''t think me lost, or kidnapped, or perchance murdered in cold blood, did you? |

| 46102 | After all,_ kleine Amerikanerin_,"she continued naïvely,"do n''t you think that people are happier without a lot of money to look after? |
| 46102 | After much misgiving she consented and a meeting was arranged----""At a carnival ball?" |
| 46102 | Although six months ago the thought of all the delightful things money could buy----""Including a lieutenant?" |

| 46102 | And the drum in the scherzo-- who could ever forget it? |
| 46102 | And the giants were such wild- looking creatures with grotesque tufts of hair on the crown of their heads-- should I have taken them more seriously? |
| 46102 | Beethoven has indeed caught the spiritual note, do n''t you think so? |
| 46102 | Can Germany and the dear old Hof- Theatre be but a day''s trip away? |
| 46102 | Can you imagine anything more fascinating than living in a house where every nook and corner is alive with memories of the past? |
| 46102 | Can you imagine spending Christmas riding through the Brenner Pass? |
| 46102 | Did I play any"pieces"or only"five- finger exercises"? |
| 46102 | Did I say no carpet? |
| 46102 | Did I tell you that a servant is engaged at so much a week_ with_ beer? |
| 46102 | Did I tell you that some weeks ago I made a translation into English of the_ Rosenlied_( Rose- song) by Anna Ritter? |
| 46102 | Did I use the loud pedal much? |
| 46102 | Did I write you that the Americans in the_ pension_ opposite were to give a St. Valentine''s party? |
| 46102 | Did you ever notice the effect of a boy with pompadour hair opening his mouth very wide? |
| 46102 | Did you know the tarts here are not nearly so good as those in Berlin? |

| 46102 | Do you know it? |
| 46102 | Do you know that the men bow first in this country? |
| 46102 | Do you not feel proud when I tell you that out of the ten medals presented two were captured by American girls? |
| 46102 | Do your æsthetic sensibilities shrink at these materialistic descriptions? |
| 46102 | Does n''t it sound interesting? |
| 46102 | Does n''t that sound imposing, as though I had graduated with honors from some academy? |
| 46102 | Does n''t that strike you as rather extraordinary? |
| 46102 | Does that stop the cry of the heart?--for it does cry: does n''t it? |
| 46102 | Have I explained that in front of the Feldernhalle is a triangular open space? |
| 46102 | Have you ever been among the mountains in winter? |
| 46102 | Have you ever seen a gull circling with wide- spread wings above a fish in the water beneath, and then suddenly dart down and bear away his prey? |
| 46102 | How did you guess? |
| 46102 | I am right, am I not,_ Herr Sekretariat_?" |
| 46102 | I can hardly imagine a placid Tschaikowsky or an unruffled Dvorák, can you? |
| 46102 | I managed to get Beethoven''s"_ Kennst du das Land?_"to suit her, but only after much toil for both of us. |
| 46102 | I was longing to ask"Reuben who"? |
| 46102 | Is it possible that it is only her money that he is after? |
| 46102 | Is it that which the fountain-- my fountain, as I claim it now-- sang to me as I passed to- day? |
| 46102 | Is n''t it queer to picture the nobility of Europe as running boarding- houses? |
| 46102 | Is n''t that fine, and does n''t it make you long to be with us? |
| 46102 | Is n''t that truly German? |
| 46102 | Is there anything in the world grander, more truly religious than a Bach choral? |
| 46102 | Is there anything in the world more marvellous than music or more indescribable than its hidden soul? |
| 46102 | Is there anything more lovely than the quintette? |
| 46102 | Is there anything more marvellously worked out than that street scene? |
| 46102 | M. Do you know the"Beethoven- Lied"by Cornelius? |
| 46102 | O departed gods of Olympus, is there anything more disheartening than this Fashionable Insincerity? |
| 46102 | Or did I myself unconsciously hum the melody and hear in the ripple of the falling water the soft rhythm of accompanying''cellos and violins? |
| 46102 | Realizing all this, I judged it wiser to change the subject by asking quickly,--"Are the girls coming to- day?" |
| 46102 | Strange, is it not, with what a keenly human note inanimate things sometimes appeal to us? |
| 46102 | Then what do you think he did? |
| 46102 | To what are we coming next? |
| 46102 | Was I at fault because when I first heard the giant motif I smiled? |
| 46102 | Was n''t it sweet of her? |
| 46102 | What do you think I paid for my seat? |
| 46102 | What do you think they are doing? |
| 46102 | What do you think? |
| 46102 | What need when I am writing to one who Understands? |
| 46102 | When I tell you that it was my first hearing of"Tristan and Isolde"in the wonderful new Prince Regent Theatre, are you surprised that I hesitate? |
| 46102 | Who do you think it was? |
| 46102 | Who ever associated sausages with anything so idyllic as a waterfall? |
| 46102 | Who ever thought of connecting them with the legends of the Middle Ages? |
| 46102 | Who was it said that in Tristan the"thrills relieve one another in squads"? |
| 46102 | Why is it that the most shrinking, retiring, and timid- appearing member of an orchestra is always the one to play the instruments of percussion? |
| 46102 | Why not?" |
| 46102 | Why on earth did n''t they rise and go out? |
| 46102 | Why, you inquire? |
| 46102 | Will you tell my aunt? |
| 46102 | Would I pardon him if he gave me my lesson in his hunting costume? |
| 46102 | You have heard that old adage, have n''t you,"Laugh and the world laughs with you, weep and you weep alone"? |
| 46102 | You remember the time when he was such a prominent conductor and musician in Boston, do you not? |
| 46102 | as in a fit of indigestion? |
| 46102 | while his wife joined in with,"Is n''t Wagner simply delicious?" |
| 33806 | After all we did discover a kind of enchanted forest, did n''t we, Esther? |
| 33806 | And you have always believed that Billy almost hated me, have n''t you? |
| 33806 | Are you all by yourself? |
| 33806 | Betty,she heard her brother''s voice saying,"wake up, please, wo n''t you and speak to an old friend? |
| 33806 | But how could you have come away from home at such a time, running the risk of losing so much? |
| 33806 | But if you are so awfully fond of your cousin and he is a count living in that old stone castle, why does he not do something for you? 33806 But was I fair to you, dear? |
| 33806 | But why then does she go on working so intensely, if she does not intend making a profession of her singing? 33806 But you, Polly?" |
| 33806 | Do n''t you think we had best find Lieutenant von Reuter and ask his assistance? |
| 33806 | Do n''t you think you had best drive up to the castle and see him yourself? 33806 Do you like foreign men?" |
| 33806 | Do you mean that Miss Polly gave you instructions to say she was not in? |
| 33806 | Dr. Ashton, however in the world did you manage to discover me? |
| 33806 | Dr. Ashton, will you take a walk with me? |
| 33806 | Esther, my dear, what is the matter with you? 33806 Glorious,"John frowned;"what do you mean?" |
| 33806 | Has it ever occurred to you that you may all be forcing Esther into a life for which she is not fitted, which will never make her happy? 33806 How do you feel? |
| 33806 | I had better go down to the village at once, do n''t you think? |
| 33806 | I haf come in search of''_ Das Rheingold_,''he murmured in his funny, broken English,"and I haf found a Rhein_ mädchen, nicht wahr_?" |
| 33806 | I suppose you can remember Betty? |
| 33806 | Is there any other place on earth quite so wonderful? |
| 33806 | Is your cousin a girl? |
| 33806 | Is your own home so disagreeable to you, Polly, that you would rather go anywhere than stay with us? |
| 33806 | It is all right, is n''t it? |
| 33806 | Miss Ashton,he began unsmilingly,"am I always to have to tell you who I am each time we meet?" |
| 33806 | Miss Ashton,said Lieutenant von Reuter suddenly and quite formally,"will you do me the honor to become my wife? |
| 33806 | Miss Polly,he began rather humbly,"I wonder if you would be willing to do a favor for me?" |
| 33806 | Mollie? |
| 33806 | Oh, that''s the plan, is it? 33806 So that was what was worrying you, Esther?" |
| 33806 | So you think you understand Esther better than I do, Dick? |
| 33806 | Sounds rather glorious, does n''t it, Esther, fame and fortune all ready and waiting to drop at your feet? 33806 Then why should you wish to go away, dear?" |
| 33806 | Then will you please sit down and tell me everything that has been happening to you and how I chance to find you here in London with Miss Adams? |
| 33806 | Was your mother well enough to go out with you? |
| 33806 | What have you been doing alone all day? |
| 33806 | Who says that I am so desperate over leaving mother and the Princess to take care of our future great American prima donna? |
| 33806 | Whose castle is that, Betty, do you know? |
| 33806 | Why are n''t you in bed, Polly mine? |
| 33806 | Why not? |
| 33806 | Why, Billy Webster, where are you going? |
| 33806 | Why, do n''t you know? |
| 33806 | Why, what could have influenced Judge Maynard to leave me so much money? 33806 Wo n''t you tell me, please, Miss Adams, if it would have been so dreadful a thing if I had done what you supposed? |
| 33806 | Wo n''t you tell us the story of Siegfried? |
| 33806 | Would you mind so very, very much? |
| 33806 | You do n''t mean that you like_ me_, do you, Betty? |
| 33806 | _ Ach Himmel!_exclaimed poor Fritz,"is one never to lose him?" |
| 33806 | A German girl would have appreciated the sacrifice he was making; so why not an American? |
| 33806 | All their lives had they not been having wonderfully good times together? |
| 33806 | Am I quite so impossible as I used to be?" |
| 33806 | And are you as pretty as ever, and do you love me as much?" |
| 33806 | And if he has asked you what did you answer?" |
| 33806 | And then smiling and yet wholly gentle she asked,"Why do you say''the last straw''in such a desperate fashion? |
| 33806 | And then,"Tell me, please, for goodness sake, Betty Ashton, how you are going to manage to start a Camp Fire club in Waldheim? |
| 33806 | And to have her so desire your companionship that she has asked you to be her guest during her summer abroad? |
| 33806 | And yet what other reason could there be? |
| 33806 | Anthony Graham? |
| 33806 | Are you going to make more money?" |
| 33806 | Are you hurt? |
| 33806 | Are you ill? |
| 33806 | As Esther laughed, he added,"Who is it that she has gone off in the moonlight with this time? |
| 33806 | Ashton?" |
| 33806 | Besides, had he not spied the familiar scarlet coat and hat on a chair outside the music room, where no one but Polly would have placed them? |
| 33806 | Besides, what did Esther not also feel that she owed to this same sister? |
| 33806 | But I wonder if you have ever thought that Mollie liked Billy Webster better than our other friends?" |
| 33806 | But I wonder where the shot could have come from?" |
| 33806 | But what had he to offer in exchange for these great sacrifices? |
| 33806 | But when and where had she heard that peculiar music before? |
| 33806 | But why if she were lost did she not make some sign? |
| 33806 | But would you like to tell me, dear, what special objection there is to your present age? |
| 33806 | But you must please forgive me, because how in the world could I ever have dreamed of seeing you here? |
| 33806 | CHAPTER XI And Its Consequences Betty bent over her sister first, saying with a kind of quick intake of her breath:"Esther, what is the matter? |
| 33806 | CHAPTER XII The Uncertain Future"Have you ever wished some days that you were nine years old instead of nineteen, Miss Adams-- Margaret?" |
| 33806 | Ca n''t you understand, mother, without my having to explain? |
| 33806 | Could it be possible that Herr von Reuter''s cousin was seeking him? |
| 33806 | Did he not owe his first earnings to his mother and to his sister, Betty, whose courage and resourcefulness had helped him prepare for his career? |
| 33806 | Did she care for Carl von Reuter for himself? |
| 33806 | Did they not say that they had found a little house for themselves and another not far away for us? |
| 33806 | Do n''t you realize every now and then that you are the older and that the Princess ought to come around to your way of thinking? |
| 33806 | Do n''t you suppose that she understands that anything else is impossible for him?" |
| 33806 | Do n''t you think he is behaving rather curiously lately, Esther? |
| 33806 | Do n''t you think it is rather looking for trouble? |
| 33806 | Do n''t you think we had better drive back to the hotel?" |
| 33806 | Do n''t you think we might be able to make Betty see this, even supposing that she does not already appreciate it?" |
| 33806 | Do you believe that the girl could honestly care for him? |
| 33806 | Do you not now think it time for us to go and join the others?" |
| 33806 | Do you see anything?" |
| 33806 | Do you think, Polly, that I do n''t appreciate what it must mean to a girl like you to have made a friend of a great woman like Margaret Adams? |
| 33806 | For had they not always thought of Esther as the homeliest of their group of Camp Fire girls? |
| 33806 | For she asked immediately after:"What difference in the world does it make, Esther Crippen, what I have been doing? |
| 33806 | For whatever had induced Betty to attempt the walk from the village to their cottage alone? |
| 33806 | Had he not fought through every kind of obstacle for the sake of his profession? |
| 33806 | Had not Professor Hecksher himself written her that she had sung better than he expected? |
| 33806 | Has it a long avenue of linden trees and a lodge covered with ivy and a lake with a waterfall?" |
| 33806 | Have I decided what was best for you, as well as for Mollie and me? |
| 33806 | Have you a special appointment?" |
| 33806 | Have you no home and no friends, that you have to shed your tears in the public streets?" |
| 33806 | How could poor Fritz have guessed that no higher emotion than curiosity stirred her? |
| 33806 | I have improved a little in these past two years, do n''t you think? |
| 33806 | I was only wondering which makes a woman happier in the end, a home or a career? |
| 33806 | It is lovely to think that may be true, is n''t it?" |
| 33806 | Moreover, suppose he should win patients and success sooner than other men? |
| 33806 | Or was it her duty to confess Billy Webster''s stupidity? |
| 33806 | So what should she now answer Polly? |
| 33806 | Surely she had failed abjectly, for was there not a silence everywhere about her, chilling and cruel? |
| 33806 | Tell me, then, is it my duty to go on with my work in Berlin, to give up everything I wish for a career I do n''t desire?" |
| 33806 | The question now is, What will each girl do to make her future happy and successful? |
| 33806 | The story teller stopped and Esther inquired:"You know the story of Siegfried so well, I wonder if you sing?" |
| 33806 | The thing I wish to know this instant is whether Professor Hecksher has asked you to sing at his big concert with his really star singers? |
| 33806 | Then if I never sing in public how am I ever to earn that fortune which I have promised to bestow on you, Princess?" |
| 33806 | They want to join us later if----if----""If what, Betty?" |
| 33806 | Was she frightened as she had expected to be? |
| 33806 | Were the light clouds they saw at so great a distance away, rising and floating lightly in the night air like pale ghosts, really nothing but mist? |
| 33806 | Wharton?" |
| 33806 | What did you answer him?" |
| 33806 | What had happened to her, what wonderful transformation had taken place? |
| 33806 | What in the wide world has brought you to Germany?" |
| 33806 | What is taking you in so soon? |
| 33806 | What made you do it?" |
| 33806 | What on earth would Betty Ashton not have given at this moment to have prevented her cheeks from suddenly crimsoning in such a ridiculous fashion? |
| 33806 | What would this young girl do with it? |
| 33806 | When does it take place?" |
| 33806 | Whom shall I summon Hither to help me? |
| 33806 | Why did Esther''s advice always seem to him so much more admirable and intelligent than other persons''? |
| 33806 | Why do people nowadays think that girls are so changed, that all of us are wishing to be independent and famous? |
| 33806 | Why do you allow yourself to be so much influenced by Betty? |
| 33806 | Why do you suppose that just now when I asked you a simple question that you should hesitate and flush? |
| 33806 | Why does everybody in the world think that because I have a talent I have to sacrifice my whole life to it? |
| 33806 | Why in the world did I not think of that idea at once? |
| 33806 | Why should not one? |
| 33806 | Why, for what other purpose had they come to Germany? |
| 33806 | Will she marry well or ill, or will she choose to follow some career in which marriage has no part? |
| 33806 | Will you be good enough to lead the way?" |
| 33806 | Will you please tell me, Betty, whatever induced you to start off on such a journey by yourself? |
| 33806 | Wo n''t you both please come in? |
| 33806 | Would not a single pair of hands applaud? |
| 33806 | Would she be too theatrical, too showy, or fail altogether? |
| 33806 | Would she have cared had he been of more humble origin, had he been less handsome? |
| 33806 | Would she never hear the end of her escapade? |
| 33806 | Would you care to come with us?" |
| 33806 | Would you still have expected us to make the same answer? |
| 33806 | Yet it is odd, is n''t it? |
| 33806 | You do n''t believe, do you, Esther child, that Dick can be staying in town so often lately to see that abominable girl at our old pension?" |
| 33806 | You do n''t mean that Professor Hecksher has suggested that_ you_ take a rest and that you are going to see your father?" |
| 33806 | You must not think I intended being officious, but was there not a possibility that she might have gone for a walk or drive with him? |
| 33806 | You wo n''t forget we were acquaintances, will you, Esther?" |
| 33806 | You would n''t, Betty, ever seriously care for anyone who lives in Europe, would you?" |
| 36820 | An''what_ can_ I do? |
| 36820 | And the Brahman Adhar? |
| 36820 | And what for, then? |
| 36820 | And what have ye in the house, Biddy, honey? |
| 36820 | And where''s the man of the house? 36820 And will I see him again?" |
| 36820 | But what''s come of Barny? 36820 For what,"thought he,"have I sold myself? |
| 36820 | He knows all, then? |
| 36820 | In troth, then, my heart is sorry for ye, poor woman,he replied, compassionately;"and what will ye do?" |
| 36820 | Is he your husband? |
| 36820 | Musha, then, have ye nothing to give a poor ould woman? |
| 36820 | My child,said she, in a tone of reproof,"dost thou yet linger here, and the auspicious moment almost past? |
| 36820 | What is it then ails ye? |
| 36820 | Where are they, is it? 36820 Yes, sir,"says I, making a curtsy, for I could n''t do no less when he spoke so civil; and says he,"Is there an honest cobbler as lives here?" |
| 36820 | _ Dead?_ O merciful Allah! 36820 (_ Gives them._) MARGERY--(_examining the shoes._) But, Dick, is n''t that some''at extortionate, as a body may say? 36820 (_ He works with great energy, and sings at the same time with equal enthusiasm._) Can not ye do as I do? 36820 (_ She goes out._) DICK--(_calling after her._) And come back soon, d''ye hear? 36820 (_ She shakes her head._) What, you wo n''t then? 36820 (_ She whispers JUSTINE, who goes out._)(_ To DICK._) Can I do any thing to serve you? 36820 --he grasped her supplicating hands,--say but the word-- are you a wife?" |
| 36820 | A lady? |
| 36820 | A noise, eh? |
| 36820 | And folks says to me,"Pray, who is that pretty modest young woman as hops over the ground as light as a feather?" |
| 36820 | And his answer was, that he would sing in spite of me, and louder than ever? |
| 36820 | And now, what shall I say more? |
| 36820 | And says he,"Do you belong to this here house?" |
| 36820 | And where''s the lad, Barny?" |
| 36820 | And why should it_ not_ be so? |
| 36820 | And you are happy? |
| 36820 | Ay, I seed her; and a most beautiful lady she is, and she sends her sarvice to you? |
| 36820 | Ay, Meg, but I''ll keep this, do ye mind? |
| 36820 | But suppose I have n''t got it? |
| 36820 | But we''ve never done no harm to nobody in our whole lives, so what is there to be afraid of? |
| 36820 | But what matter for that?" |
| 36820 | But what''s the matter? |
| 36820 | But what, Dick? |
| 36820 | But while Sarma was thus absorbed in holy abstraction, where were Govinda and Amrà ? |
| 36820 | Can not ye do as I do? |
| 36820 | Comment donc-- ce Monsieur Dick, fait aussi des complimens à Madame? |
| 36820 | DICK--(_chinks the money._) Do ye hear that? |
| 36820 | DICK--(_hesitating._) But-- a-- a-- Meg, you''ll come with me, wo n''t you, and just see me safe in at the door, eh? |
| 36820 | DICK--(_scratching his head._) What shilling? |
| 36820 | Did ever any human being escape more_ intacte_ in person and mind from the fiery furnace of popular admiration? |
| 36820 | Did you see the lady herself? |
| 36820 | Faithfully did she perform the part in life which she believed allotted to her; and who may presume to judge that she did not choose the better part?" |
| 36820 | For what is the word of the Great King pledged to me? |
| 36820 | Halloran, who was of a fiery and hasty temper, began angrily:"Why, then, in the name of the great devil himself, did n''t you open to us?" |
| 36820 | Hang it, who''s afraid? |
| 36820 | Has he not sworn to refuse me nothing? |
| 36820 | Has the most high God confined the knowledge of his attributes to the Brahmans alone, and hidden his face from the rest of his creatures? |
| 36820 | Have they sent for him? |
| 36820 | How shall we manage then? |
| 36820 | I must go to market--(_putting on her shawl and bonnet._) What would you like to have for dinner, Dick, love? |
| 36820 | I''m sure I''m much obliged-- but what did she say to you? |
| 36820 | If ever there were beauty, which could disdain the aid of ornament, is it not that of Amrà ? |
| 36820 | If ever there were purity, truth, and goodness, which could defy the powers of evil, are they not thine? |
| 36820 | Is it not so?" |
| 36820 | Is there nothing in all this to countervail the dangers, the evils, and the vicissitudes attendant on this splendid and public exercise of talent? |
| 36820 | It ca n''t cost your ladyship much in shoe leather, I guess? |
| 36820 | It was the peculiar manner with which she uttered the words--"Are you at leisure, holy father, now? |
| 36820 | JUSTINE--(_goes and returns._) Madame, c''est justement notre homme, voulez- vous qu''il entre? |
| 36820 | Justine, did you send the butler over to request civilly that he would not disturb me in the morning? |
| 36820 | LADY AMARANTHE--(_graciously._) Are you married? |
| 36820 | LADY AMARANTHE--(_surprised._) Then you did not tell my servant that you would sing louder than ever, in spite of me? |
| 36820 | LADY AMARANTHE--(_with increasing interest._) Have you any children? |
| 36820 | MARGERY--(_passionately._) Why, if you come to that, who''s the mistress here, I say? |
| 36820 | MARGERY--(_timidly._) Five shillings, perhaps, eh? |
| 36820 | MARGERY--(_whimpering._) Oh, Dick, what in the world has come to you? |
| 36820 | MARGERY--(_wiping her eyes._) And did you see the lady? |
| 36820 | Me repent? |
| 36820 | Me, my Lady? |
| 36820 | Now I think seven- pence would be enough in all conscience-- what do you say? |
| 36820 | Now what are the bravos of a whole theatre,"When all the thunder of the pit ascends,"compared to such praise as this? |
| 36820 | Of what, Dick? |
| 36820 | Or shall I come to you at evening mass?" |
| 36820 | Perhaps you are not the same Mr. Dick? |
| 36820 | Robbed of what? |
| 36820 | Shall I live to look upon a race of outcasts, abhorred on earth and excommunicate from heaven, and say,''These are the offspring of Sarma?'' |
| 36820 | Shall I take it back to the lady, and give our duty to her, and tell her we do n''t want her guineas, shall I, Meg? |
| 36820 | Shall the young spirit"dampt by the necessity of oblivion"disdain what is attainable because it can not grasp all? |
| 36820 | So says I,"Hark''ee, Mr. Scrape- trencher, there go words to that bargain: what right have you to go for to speak in that there way to me?" |
| 36820 | Stay; you are not then the rude uncivil person I was told of? |
| 36820 | The first represents the action which accompanied the line--"By whose direction found''st thou out this place?" |
| 36820 | The grip of hunger''s hard to bear; and if she had n''t taken it then, where would I have been now? |
| 36820 | The scene in which the lovers part, called the Garden Scene, follows; and the passage selected is--"Art thou gone so? |
| 36820 | The sons of Brahma are excellently virtuous, but are all the rest of mankind vicious? |
| 36820 | This is strange; or is there some mistake? |
| 36820 | Was she, while absorbed in her poetical, ideal existence, the dupe of exterior shows in judging of character? |
| 36820 | Well, and then? |
| 36820 | What noise is that? |
| 36820 | What shall we do? |
| 36820 | What the mischief can a lady want with me? |
| 36820 | What to him were the stars, or the flowers, or the moon rising in dewy splendour? |
| 36820 | What''s the matter? |
| 36820 | What, to waste it all in woman''s nonsense and frippery? |
| 36820 | Where should they be? |
| 36820 | Where, then, is his justice? |
| 36820 | Why then should Govinda be sad?" |
| 36820 | Why, Meg, I did n''t hurt you, did I? |
| 36820 | Why, where''s the use of money but to spend? |
| 36820 | Will you go to bed, sweetheart? |
| 36820 | Wilt thou see me perish without pity, O son of my people? |
| 36820 | Wo n''t you forgive your own dear Dick, wo n''t you? |
| 36820 | Would you love me better, Meg, if I were a master shoemaker? |
| 36820 | You know all, and have come to save me-- to bless me? |
| 36820 | You live in the small house over the way, I think? |
| 36820 | You love her then? |
| 36820 | a nice rasher of bacon, by way of a relish? |
| 36820 | and I hesitate? |
| 36820 | and how do you live? |
| 36820 | and is there no place hereby where they would give a potatoe and a cup of cowld water to a poor old woman ready to drop on her road?" |
| 36820 | and more, did n''t she take the bit out of her own mouth to put into mine?" |
| 36820 | and so no more talk of dying; cheer up, and see, a mile farther on, is n''t there Biddy Hogan''s? |
| 36820 | and turn up your nose like Mrs. Pinchtoe? |
| 36820 | and what for, pray? |
| 36820 | and who knows, Nancy dear, but they''ll let me go out with him to the foreign parts? |
| 36820 | comme il sent le cuir, n''est- ce pas, madame? |
| 36820 | do ye mind Grace Power, and the last words ever she spoke to ye?" |
| 36820 | flummery!--But, Meg, I say, how did you like the wedding yesterday? |
| 36820 | he exclaimed,"what is now to be my fate? |
| 36820 | he said, after a breathless pause;"when? |
| 36820 | how would you feed them? |
| 36820 | keep it all to yourself?--No, you wo n''t; an''t I your wife, and have n''t I a right? |
| 36820 | my love, my lord, my friend? |
| 36820 | replied Cathleen, disconsolately;"and how will I even find the ford and get across to Cork, when I do n''t know where I am this blessed moment?" |
| 36820 | said he at length;"is it thus our imperial decrees are obeyed?" |
| 36820 | shall I, dear heart? |
| 36820 | shall I? |
| 36820 | shall we be braved on our throne by these insolent and contumacious priests? |
| 36820 | that was the reason, then, that you bawled so in my ear, and frightened me out of my sleep-- was it? |
| 36820 | the chief pain? |
| 36820 | the dearest pleasure? |
| 36820 | the greatest wickedness? |
| 36820 | the highest good? |
| 36820 | the severest punishment? |
| 36820 | thundered the monk:"will ye suffer this woman to steal two precious souls from heaven?--two members from our community? |
| 36820 | to whom? |
| 36820 | what a fine purse!--Is there any thing in it? |
| 36820 | what are they in such a moment? |
| 36820 | what did they say to you? |
| 36820 | what have I to do with thee? |
| 36820 | what''s the matter now? |
| 36820 | what_ can_ a lady have to say to me, I wonder? |
| 36820 | where have you been? |
| 36820 | where his all- embracing mercy?" |
| 36820 | who cares? |
| 36820 | who could help it? |
| 36820 | who did you see? |
| 36820 | who is the possessor of a gem of such exceeding price, and yet forbears to claim it?" |
| 36820 | who knows? |
| 36820 | whom dost thou behold?" |
| 36820 | why do n''t you speak to me, Dick, love? |
| 36820 | why do n''t you speak? |
| 36820 | you do n''t mean for to say that the last shilling that you put in your pocket, just to make a show, is gone? |
| 36820 | you do not mean to say you wish for them, and have scarce enough for yourselves? |
| 36820 | you will?--You sha n''t; who''s the master here, I say? |
| 36818 | And what,I asked,"did the Empress say to you?" |
| 36818 | And what,said I,"was your answer?" |
| 36818 | Did you ever feel fear? |
| 36818 | Do you ask for bread? |
| 36818 | Do you call it a fine country? |
| 36818 | Do you not see my brother standing there? |
| 36818 | Qui me delivrera des Grecs et des Remains? |
| 36818 | To be sure I do; and where would you see a finer? |
| 36818 | Who are you? |
| 36818 | Yes,she replied;"you are his excellency the minister C----; but what of that? |
| 36818 | _ No._Did she regard Henri as her affianced husband? |
| 36818 | _ Yes._Was she a Christian? |
| 36818 | --who will deliver me from gods and goddesses, and from all these"Repetitions, wearisome of sense, Where soul is dead, and feeling hath no place?" |
| 36818 | According to his distinction, would not the group of the Niobe belong to the age of perfection?--and the Parthenon to the philosophic age? |
| 36818 | After all this eulogium, which I believe to be just, tell me frankly, were you satisfied yourself? |
| 36818 | Alone? |
| 36818 | And does this prohibition avail much in a population of sixty thousand persons? |
| 36818 | And has it not? |
| 36818 | And have none of these motives produced authoresses in Germany? |
| 36818 | And how shall I attempt to describe it? |
| 36818 | And learned to be homely-- but the result? |
| 36818 | And so we are to have no"_ Sentimental Travels in Germany_"on hot- pressed paper, illustrated with views taken on the spot? |
| 36818 | And who was to blame? |
| 36818 | And why should we not have in sculpture a Lear as well as a Laocoon? |
| 36818 | And,"lilies that fester are far worse than weeds,"so singeth the poet; but do you make the cause also the excuse? |
| 36818 | Are you any relation of the Professor Henri Ambos?'' |
| 36818 | Art may be finite; but who shall fix its limits, and say,"thus far shalt thou go?" |
| 36818 | But do you think the Germans could at all appreciate or understand such a phenomenon as Madame de Staël must have appeared in those days? |
| 36818 | But have you then traced the cause and consequences of that undercurrent of opinion which is slowly but surely sapping the foundations of empires? |
| 36818 | But how is the sculptor himself to live during those long years? |
| 36818 | But is that all? |
| 36818 | But the hospital for the infirm poor-- Das Versorgung Haus-- pleased me particularly;''tis true, that the cost was not a third-- what do I say? |
| 36818 | But then what had brought her there? |
| 36818 | But what were your own impressions? |
| 36818 | But what, then, is the secret of the interest which these old painters inspire, of the enthusiasm they excite, even in these cultivated days? |
| 36818 | But, how came this wonderful relic to Cologne, of all places in the world? |
| 36818 | By what perverse destiny?--was it avarice on our part, or force or fraud on that of others? |
| 36818 | Can it be possible that this glorious edifice was planned by a young prince, and erected out of his yearly savings? |
| 36818 | Can you give some accurate notion of the ideas which generally prevail on this subject? |
| 36818 | Can you task your sensitive mind to stand reproach and ridicule? |
| 36818 | Do they not point to their literature and their institutions, as more favourable to your sex than any other? |
| 36818 | Do you apply this personally? |
| 36818 | Do you forget Mrs. Darner and Lady Dacre? |
| 36818 | Do you forget that the cause of the thirty years war was a woman? |
| 36818 | Do you know that I once overheard a well- meaning mother instructing her daughter how to be natural? |
| 36818 | Do you know what you mean? |
| 36818 | Do you know who I am?" |
| 36818 | Do you think I did not observe and feel the contrast? |
| 36818 | Does this collection of the Prince of Orange still exist at Brussels? |
| 36818 | Had he indeed? |
| 36818 | Had he? |
| 36818 | Had then violence been used to carry her off? |
| 36818 | Have I not heard you say, that it is the present fashion among the poets, artists, and writers of Germany, to defer in all things to the middle ages? |
| 36818 | Have we not had a Flaxman? |
| 36818 | Have you been rambling about the world for these six months-- yet learned nothing? |
| 36818 | Have you decided between the different systems of Jacobi and Schelling? |
| 36818 | Have you examined and noted down the routine of the_ domestic_ education of their children? |
| 36818 | Have you heard the low booming of that mighty ocean which approaches, wave after wave, to break up the dikes and boundaries of ancient power? |
| 36818 | He added,"They ask me often where are the models after which I worked? |
| 36818 | How could I remember that all this_ had been_, and not bless the miracle- worker-- Time? |
| 36818 | How far, then, may a woman be vain with a good grace and betray it without ridicule? |
| 36818 | How? |
| 36818 | I addressed the one who was the most beautiful, and said,''Are you Mademoiselle Emilie S----?'' |
| 36818 | I am afraid that I appear very stupid? |
| 36818 | I asked eagerly in what character? |
| 36818 | I asked her if she had ever met with insult? |
| 36818 | I asked her whether she had not feared to risk the safety of her generous friend? |
| 36818 | I do perfectly understand you; but, pray what are our strictly masculine privileges, that you should covet them? |
| 36818 | I draw from the life,--now, what would you say to such a woman if you met with her in the world? |
| 36818 | I have been asked twenty times since my return to England, whether the German women are not very_ exaltée_--very romantic? |
| 36818 | I hope you are not one of these? |
| 36818 | I really believe that in Germany the latter catastrophe would be in most cases inevitable; and where is the woman who knowingly would risk it? |
| 36818 | I see;--but are you prepared for consequences? |
| 36818 | I was at Aix- la- Chapelle, was I not? |
| 36818 | I? |
| 36818 | If I risk thus much, will you venture the rest?" |
| 36818 | If her former journey, when hope cheered her on the way, had been so fearful, what must have been her return? |
| 36818 | If you prefer slaves and playthings to companions and helpmates, is that our fault? |
| 36818 | In this harsh, cold, working- day world, is half an hour''s amusement nothing? |
| 36818 | In what respect is a female gambler worse than one of your sex? |
| 36818 | Is it not so? |
| 36818 | May one beg, or borrow them?--What is your book? |
| 36818 | Me? |
| 36818 | Milton, is it not? |
| 36818 | Not Devrient- Schroeder? |
| 36818 | Now, why should not sculpture have its Gothic( or romantic) school, as well as its antique, or classical school? |
| 36818 | O when will there be charity in the world? |
| 36818 | Or a Tam o''Shanter as well as a laughing Faun? |
| 36818 | Or the sublime and beautiful among the frivolous and degraded of one sex, the money- making or the brutalized of the other? |

| 36818 | Shall I confess to you? |
| 36818 | Tell me, had you a full moon while you were on the Rhine? |
| 36818 | Tell me-- did you find this prejudice entertained by the women themselves, or existing chiefly on the part of the men? |

| 36818 | Then I will leave you to think;--or shall I go on? |
| 36818 | Then tell me, what have_ you_ brought home? |
| 36818 | Then what, in Heaven''s name,_ have_ you learned? |
| 36818 | Then you are of this new school, which reveals the union of faith and philosophy? |
| 36818 | Then, where is truth? |

| 36818 | Was not her mode of thinking the fashion of her time, the effect of her education? |
| 36818 | Was not this a fearful contrast? |
| 36818 | Well, to descend to your own peculiar sphere, have you satisfied yourself as to the moral and social position of the women in Germany? |
| 36818 | What can they know of what is to be known? |
| 36818 | What do they endure of what is to be endured? |
| 36818 | What do they see of all that is to be seen? |
| 36818 | What has become of him?'' |
| 36818 | What more at Brussels? |
| 36818 | What next? |
| 36818 | What shall I say of them? |
| 36818 | When will human beings, women especially, show mercy and justice to each other, and not judge of results, without a reference to causes? |
| 36818 | Where shall I begin? |
| 36818 | Where, but at the beginning? |
| 36818 | Which Dannecker declined? |
| 36818 | Which has the most enjoyment? |
| 36818 | Who are now the principal sculptors in Germany? |
| 36818 | Who had"Put in her tender heart the aspiring flame Of golden sovereignty?" |
| 36818 | Why do you lay such an emphasis upon_ female_ gambler? |
| 36818 | Why would Canova give us for the head of Dante''s Beatrice that of a muse, or an Aspasia? |
| 36818 | Will you not allow that they worked in a different spirit? |
| 36818 | Yet in all alike, is it not the intense feeling of life and individual nature which charms, which fixes us? |
| 36818 | Yet in this last journey you had an object-- a purpose? |
| 36818 | Yet was it my fault that I remembered in the same part the syren Sontag, and the enchantress Malibran? |
| 36818 | You allude to Elizabeth of Bohemia, who was to Heidelberg what Helen was to Troy? |
| 36818 | You do not mean-- you will not tell me-- that with all your love of music, you were insensible to the miraculous powers of that man? |
| 36818 | You do not suppose that, with all my Gothic tastes, I am such a Goth as not to feel the truth of what you say? |
| 36818 | You pause?--you have nothing to say of Cologne? |
| 36818 | You perhaps recollect her in England when only Duchess of Oldenburg? |
| 36818 | You remember Michael Angelo''s statue of Christ in the church of Santa Maria sopra Minerva at Rome? |

| 36818 | [ 6] Was not this admirable? |
| 36818 | a Constance as well as a Niobe? |
| 36818 | all this emotion for Goethe? |
| 36818 | and for Petrarch''s Laura, a mere_ tête de nymphe_? |
| 36818 | and when will reflection upon these causes lead to their removal? |
| 36818 | and why should not criticism have its telescope for truth, as well as its microscope for error? |
| 36818 | and yet, who but the Being above us all, can know what is resisted? |
| 36818 | for that of the Elector of Saxony--"Shall I leave my good Emperor?" |
| 36818 | have you not seen it? |
