6018M''Leod asked, what is the particular excellence of Burke''s eloquence?
6018Must we never have more convenience than Rorie More had?
6018Now, how low should a price be?

6018Pray, what do you know about his motions?
6018Quo vagor ulterius?
6018Sir, he would reason thus:"What will it cost me to be there once in two or three summers?
6018The contest now is, What HAS he?''
6018The landlady said to me,''Is not this the great Doctor that is going about through the country?''
6018The serjeant asked,''Who is this fellow?''
6018The wish is laudable: why should I form designs to hide it?
6018Tuesday, 14th September Dr Johnson said in the morning,''Is not this a fine lady?''
6018Was it upon that occasion that he expressed no curiosity to see the room at Dumfermline, where Charles I was born?
6018What can the M''Craas tell about themselves a thousand years ago?
6018What have your clergy done, since you sunk into presbyterianism?

6018When Dr Johnson came in, she called to him,''Do you choose any cold sheep''s- head, sir?''
6018Which of all these dishes is unwholsome?''
6018Who CAN like the Highlands?
6018Why a tree grows upwards, when the natural tendency of all things is downwards?
6018Why an egg produces a chicken by heat?
6018Why do n''t we see men thus produced around us now?
6018Why does he not tell how to fill it?''
6018Why is not the form of the petition brought nearer to the meaning?
6018Why not as well be Rorie More all over, as live upon his rock?
6018Why, at least, does it not keep pace, in some measure, with the progress of time?
6018Your old preceptor repeated, with much solemnity, the speech How far is''t called to Fores?
6018but instantly corrected himself,''How can you do it?''
6018is this the case?''
6018or what degree of confidence should there be to make a bargain be set aside?
6018said Dr Johnson,''you must have a very great trade?''
6018sir, what can a nation that has not letters tell of its original?
6018who is it that I would impose on?
38822''Sdeath, my lord, can you not imagine that I speak of the wings of love? 38822 And is this Yarrow?
38822And why,said he,"should not a man be cheerful on the verge of heaven?"
38822And would you undertake to do this, my good friend?
38822And your wife, is she well?
38822Are you too a Cameronian?
38822But do n''t you think that it was rather cruel sport?
38822But you have a little pinch occasionally-- in the cold and stormy winter weather?
38822Can you make''the twa ends meet''at the close of the year?
38822Come ye here to hawk or hound, Or drink the wine that''s sae clear, O; Or come ye here to eat in your words, That you''re not the Rose o''Yarrow?
38822Did he belong to the established kirk?
38822Did you know any thing of Sir Walter Scott? 38822 Do you mean the rock, Francis?"
38822Even so,was the reply,"seven pounds; but how much then do they get with you?"
38822Have you a cow?
38822Have you any family, my friend?
38822Hold your tongue, my lady fair; For what needs a''this sorrow? 38822 How many pounds go to a dollar?"
38822I was then young, reckless, high- hearted: I was screwed up in that convent- like castle; my sweetheart was in the plain below--"Well, what then?"
38822Lang Syne!--ah, where are they who shared With us its pleasures bright and blithe? 38822 Mine is the religion of the breast;"and if it be not, what is it worth?
38822Sandy then got over his troubles, did he?
38822The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God--was Burns an atheist?
38822Weel, my lad,he would say, patting my head,"how d''ye do-- and how''s your faither, and how''s your mither?
38822Well, what have you for victuals?
38822What are you going to do with a Greek Testament?
38822What of that? 38822 What''s Yarrow but a river bare, That glides the dark hills under?
38822What''s the matter?
38822Why, grandfaither,says one of the younger lads,"do n''t you think the auld Covenanters were rather sour kind o''bodies?"
38822''Have you hope?''
38822( glad?)
38822--Whose daughter''s she that wears the aurora gown, With face so fair, and locks o''lovely brown?
38822A_ baron_ would be satisfied in Germany with such a revenue as that; and do you mean to say that there are schoolmasters who grumble at it?"
38822After standing a few moments, the one said to the other,"Did you ever hear such preaching as that?"
38822And a''the family, are they weel?
38822And is this-- Yarrow?--This the stream Of which my fancy cherished So faithfully a waking dream?
38822And mind ye o''the Saturdays,( The schule then skail''t[139] at noon,) When we ran aff to speel[140] the braes, The broomy braes o''June?
38822And shall we tread that holy ground, And breathe that fragrant air; And view the fields with glory crowned In cloudless beauty fair?
38822And these roses, the fairest that ever were seen?
38822And when the Lord of the Universe hath shown us the amazing wonders of his various frame, should we think it hard, when he thinketh time, to dislodge?
38822And whence this falling tear In sad remembrance of his merit just?
38822And why yon melancholious weeds, Hung on the bonny birks o''Yarrow?
38822Are we a piece of machinery, which like the à � olian harp, passive, takes the impression of the passing accident?
38822Come, who is your mistress now?"
38822Did he not accomplish a great and beneficial work of Reform; and, having done this, did he not die a sweet and triumphant death?
38822Does not Holy Writ declare,"_ Blessed_ are the dead that die in the Lord?"
38822Does not Scotland, however inferior, in some respects it may be deemed to other lands, possess a peculiar charm to all cultivated minds?
38822From vales that knew our lives devoid of stain?
38822Hae ye mark''d the dews o''morning, Glittering in the sunny ray, Quickly fa''when, without warning, Rough blasts came and shook the spray?
38822Hae ye seen the bird fast fleeing, Drap when pierced by death mair fleet?
38822Have I so found it full of pleasing charms?
38822Have you any land to cultivate?"
38822Have you thought of that?"
38822How can I busk a bonny, bonny bride, How can I busk a winsome marrow, How lue him on the banks o''Tweed That slew my love on the braes o''Yarrow?
38822How can I love to see thee shine So bright, whom I have bought so dear?
38822How far came ye the day?
38822How sparkling are her eyes?
38822How, then, could honored Thomas Carlyle bring himself to affirm,"that Burns had no religion?"
38822I know thy faithfulness, and need no more; Yet from the lab''rinth to lead out my mind, Say, to expose her, who was so unkind?
38822I marvel, Jeanie Morrison, Gin[148] I hae been to thee, As closely twined wi''earliest thochts, As ye hae been to me?
38822In them there is frequent, habitual recognition of the Creator; and who that finds joy and beauty in nature has not the same?
38822Is that blue light the moon''s or tomb- fire''s gleam?
38822Is that dull sound the hum of Teviot''s stream?
38822Is this your daughter Glaud?
38822It seems to us to utter the deep throbbings of the poet''s spirit:"Why am I loth to leave this earthly scene?
38822Just when her notes began with skill To sound beneath the southern hill, And twine around my bosom''s core, How could we part forevermore?
38822Kilmeny, Kilmeny, where have you been?
38822Kilmeny, Kilmeny, where have you been?
38822Knox, doubtless, had his faults; and what of that?
38822O mind ye, luve, how aft we left The deavin''[142] dinsome[143] toun, To wander by the green burnside, And hear its waters croon?
38822O mind[136] ye how we hung our heads, How cheeks brent red wi''shame, Whene''er the schule[137] weans laughin''said, We cleeked[138] thegither hame?
38822Or death''s unlovely, dreary, dark abode?
38822Or do these workings argue something within us above the trodden clod?
38822Or have a thought that ought intrude Save birds and humming bees?"
38822Or what of Scotland?
38822Out and spak her father dear, Says,"What needs a''this sorrow?
38822Pray, my good fellow, how would you propose to do that?"
38822Some drops of joy, with draughts of ill between; Some gleams of sunshine''mid renewing storms; Is it departing pangs my soul alarms?
38822Strange auld man, what art thou?
38822Tell me, my dear friend, to what can this be owing?
38822That bonny snook[173] o''the birk sae green?
38822The young men were awed, and listened with reverent attention to the close, when the one, turning to the other, said,"And what d''ye think of that?"
38822Then how should I for heavenly mercy pray; Who act so counter heavenly mercy''s plan, Who sin so oft have mourn''d, yet to temptation ran?
38822Then stay thee, fair, in Ravensheuch; Why cross the gloomy Firth to- day?"
38822They who forewent us did leave room for us; and should we grieve to do the same to those who should come after us?
38822This the stream, Of which my fancy cherished So faithfully a waking dream, An image that hath perished?"
38822Waking or asleep Thou of death must deem, Things more true and deep Than we mortals dream, Or how could thy note flow in such a crystal stream?
38822Was St. Kessog a true martyr?
38822Was he not a true man, and a true minister of God''s Word?
38822Wha can this new- comer be?''
38822Wha in neeboring town or farm?
38822Wha nursed her mother that now hauds my hand?
38822Wha was ance like Willie Gairlace?
38822Wha, worse than brutes, cou''d leave exposed to air Sae much o''innocence sae sweetly fair, Sae helpless young?
38822Whare gat ye that bonny, bonny bride?
38822Whare gat ye that winsome marrow?
38822What could they be, thought I, did thee forsake?
38822What d''ye mean?
38822What fields or waves or mountains?
38822What grand agency has accomplished all this?
38822What ignorance of pain?
38822What is most like thee?
38822What love of thine own kind?
38822What man in his senses ever lived without religion?
38822What objects are the fountains Of thy happy strain?
38822What shapes of sky or plain?
38822What think you of this world?
38822What time the daisy decks the green, Thy certain voice we hear; Hast thou a star to guide thy path, Or mark the rolling year?
38822What vanity has brought thee here?
38822What''s yonder floats on the rueful flude?
38822When he first saw Jeanie Miller, Wha wi''Jeanie could compare?
38822When the great winds through leafless forests rushing, Sad music make?
38822Whence then these sighs?
38822Where gat you that joup[172] o''the lily scheen?
38822Where in Italy or in Austria will you meet aught so beautiful or thrilling as the following?
38822Where now the triumph of his lofty powers of knowledge?
38822Where now will be the joy of his lofty inquiries?
38822Where on thy dewy wing, Where art thou journeying?
38822Where was it that the famous Flower Of Yarrow Vale lay bleeding?
38822Who, being suffered to see the exquisite rarities of an antiquary''s cabinet, is grieved that the curtain be drawn, and to give place to new pilgrims?
38822Why didst thou leave the peasant''s turf- built cot, The ancient graves where all thy fathers lie, And Teviot''s stream that long has murmur''d by?
38822Why on thy braes heard the voice o''sorrow?
38822Why runs thy stream, O Yarrow, Yarrow, red?
38822Will there be any heart still memory keeping, Of heretofore?
38822Women will die or even grow old; and what are we to do?
38822Would it be possible, think you, to storm the Castle from that side?
38822[ 8] O what is pomp?
38822[ 96] But war ony half so fair?
38822[ Footnote 64: Does this mean Spectator?]
38822_ Elspa._--Hear, ye gudeman, what think ye now?
38822_ Patie._--What reason, Sir, can an auld woman have To tell a lie when she''s sae near her grave?
38822_ Sir W._--Young man, let''s see your hand; what gars[41] ye sneer?
38822and what is power?
38822and what, too, of that?
38822com''st thou now so late to mock A wanderer''s banished heart forlorn, Now that his frame, the lightning shock Of sun- rays tipt with death has borne?
38822did n''t I tell you, sir?
38822does Jeanie Miller Naught o''Willie Gairlace see?''
38822he exclaimed, springing up from his chair,"do you mean to tell me that they pay a schoolmaster with_ seven pounds_ a year?"
38822honest nurse, where were my eyes before?
38822say gin e''er your heart grows[149] grit Wi''dreamings o''lang syne?
38822unmindful of thy early days, Why didst thou quit the simple peasant''s lot?
38822what ghastly spectre''s yon, Comes in his pale shroud, bleeding after?
38822which who can see, Though but in distant prospect, and not feel His soul refreshed with foretaste of the joy?"
38822why should we undo it?
45306About the James boys?
45306Cabin or steerage?
45306Can you blame me for trying to make a stake?
45306Did you ever read the life of the James boys, Billy?
45306Do n''t you think that would be a fair divvy?
45306Do the Britishers, of course; what else?
45306Do you know anything about grammar, geography or composition?
45306Do you want a ticket?
45306Do?
45306Ever herd cattle?
45306Fine and dandy; ever been there?
45306Got any money or tickets?
45306He wanted me to go in, did n''t he, whether I wanted to or not?
45306Hello, pardner; how''s tricks?

45306How many pages will the book contain?
45306How much money have you got, Billy?
45306If he thinks anything of me do n''t you think he''ll come back to me?
45306It''s in the fo''-castle,says Jack, with a wink at his mates;"do you want it?"
45306Kin you ride?
45306Lemme see, now; what''ll I tackle?
45306Look at all this array, Windy,said I to myself;"where are you going to get off at?
45306Look at that; call them trifles?
45306Looking for a job, cully?
45306Maybe you think I ai n''t got any?
45306Me? 45306 My card?
45306No, I never did? 45306 O, Mary, when shall we return Sic pleasure to renew?"
45306Of course you can but it will cost you lots of money, and where are you going to get it?
45306Oh, that''s the game, is it? 45306 Oh, that''s the ticket, is it?
45306Oh, that''s what you''re after, is it? 45306 Oh, you are, are you?"
45306Oh, you do, eh? 45306 One of two must still obey, Nancy, Nancy; Is it man or woman, say?
45306Say Billy,remarked I with my mouth full of bread,"get on to the orange trees, will you?"
45306Sleep over nothing,quickly retorted I;"am I the first man who ever wrote a book?"
45306So you''re going to write a book, eh?
45306Suppose we put it in sight- seeing?
45306The h---- he wo n''t,responded I, angrily;"that''s what he''s paid for, is n''t it?"
45306The hell you are,profanely responded Billy;"what are you going to do with it after it is written down?"
45306The hell you did; how''s things out that way?
45306They talk English over there, do n''t they? 45306 To''Frisco?"

45306Which boss?
45306Who gets all the money from the sale of the book?
45306Who says you have n''t? 45306 Who, me?"
45306Why do n''t he write to me?
45306Why do n''t you get married and find out?
45306Why do n''t you go on deck if you want to be sick?
45306Will you please let me have your card?
45306Will you please write your name and the nature of your business on this tablet? 45306 You are, hey?
45306You do n''t like der style?
45306You do n''t like''em?
45306You sabee cookee?
45306You say I ca n''t beat my way in the old country, Billy; why not?
45306You say I ca n''t beat my way when I get across to Europe; why not?
45306You say, Billy,continued I,"that the ways of the people are different over there; in what way?"
45306_ You_ write a book? 45306 After exchanging airy compliments and discussing the weather a bit, the gentleman remarked_ en passant_,You have written a book?"
45306After you get the book printed who''s going to sell it for you; going around peddling it?"
45306And another thing, there are no brake- beams on the other side, no blind baggage and no bumpers, so where are you going to ride?
45306Are you going to go in opposition to them?"
45306Are you looking for a job?"
45306As I stood in front of the Cunard line office a young fellow stepped up to me and asked:"Say, mister, are you thinking of going to Yurrup?"
45306As I was poor, that swell neighborhood was no place for me, but where was I to find a poorer locality?
45306Be lots of champagne flowing about that time, eh?"
45306But what was the use of thinking or worrying?
45306Ca n''t I talk English?"
45306Call that music?
45306Can you blame a rich old Mormon for having a big bunch of wives if he can support them?
45306Did I see the Falls?
45306Did I?
45306Did he need polish to make him shine?
45306Did n''t I have some money in my inside pocket?
45306Did our Washy need a sponsor?
45306Did you ever watch a calf when it sucks its mother, how it makes a grab for a teat, rest awhile, then make another grab?
45306Do n''t you believe me?
45306Do n''t you think that would do for a starter?"
45306Do you want to know the honest truth?
45306Even had I been armed what could I have done against seven men in close quarters?
45306From my accent she gathered that I was a foreigner for she asked at once:"Yer a furriner, ai n''t ye?"
45306Graham?"
45306Have n''t I got as good a right to write a book as anyone else?"
45306Have you read Irving''s Astoria, a true and lifelike history of the Northwest?
45306He figured it out this way:"Suppose the book fails, where do I get off at?
45306He puts up the dough and what do you put up?"

45306History, travel, poetry, novel or what?"
45306How many ships do tip over?
45306How or where will I begin to describe these things?
45306I believe the son- in- law is inclined to be facetious, but is he_ just_ to his immortal father- in- law?
45306I did n''t think it was any of his business, so I said:"What do you want to know for?"
45306I hated to die so young, but what''s the odds?
45306I remained standing there, whereupon the sober one got angry and turned on me with the remark:"Did yer never see ah lassie fou?"
45306I was for moving on, but Billy said,"What''s the harm?
45306I was on deck waiting to see the storm out, for what was the use going below and being drowned there?
45306I wonder would they appreciate it if I showed them a few samples?
45306In the first place there are no railroad trains running across to Europe, so how are you going to cross the little duck pond; swim across?"
45306It is entitled:"Will ye go to the Highlands, Leezie Lindsay?"
45306Look abroad through Nature''s range-- Nature''s mighty law is change; Ladies, would it not be strange, Man should then a monster prove?
45306Maybe I did n''t applaud?
45306Maybe you''ll drive tandem and handle the ribbons yourself?"
45306Nay, withal, was he not a right brave and strong man according to his kind?
45306Nothing more nor less than--"Where, oh where has my little dog gone, Where, oh where can he be?
45306O Mary, canst thou wreck his peace, Wha for thy sake wad gladly die; Or canst thou break that heart of his Whose only faut is loving thee?
45306O, CAN YE SEW CUSHIONS?
45306O, can ye sew cushions and can ye sew sheets, And can ye sing bal- lu- loo when the bairn greets?
45306O, what would I do wi''you?
45306Say, pardner, pinch me, will you?
45306See what kids read, will you?
45306Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days o''auld lang syne?
45306Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to min''?
45306That''s a good argument, ai n''t it?
45306The Bible says they can have all the wives they want, but the United States law says they ca n''t have''em, so what are the poor fellows to do?
45306They were having a whole lot of fun at my expense but I never said another word, for what was the use?
45306Was I happy after I bought the ticket?
45306Was Shakespeare appreciated in his generation?
45306Was any truly great man?
45306Was it his thoughts or their setting that captivated people?
45306Was n''t his genius just as great before he struck society?
45306Was there anything ever written more sad, pathetic and sweet?
45306Wha can fill a coward''s grave?
45306Wha sae base as be a slave?
45306Wha will be a traitor knave?

45306What did the lady take me for; a Chinaman, to put me in a china closet?
45306What do you say; shall I give you a ticket?"

45306What tune do you think these Highlanders were playing as they marched along?
45306What was the next event on the program?
45306What will you do?"
45306What''s the dif?
45306What''s the use of trying?
45306When Burnsie came out he was mad clear through and this is what he wrote: Was e''er puir poet sae befitted?
45306Where can we get anything to eat?"
45306Where do you want to go?"
45306Where was a fellow to ride when he was beating his way?
45306While I stood gazing and deliberating a young girl with a shawl around her shoulders came up to me and addressed me:"Hoo air ye?"
45306While eating it, the door slid back quietly, and who do you think entered it?
45306Who can tell?
45306Who were they?"
45306Why were we born poor?
45306Why would n''t it be, when suckers by the million flock there every year from all over the world?
45306Why, then, ask of silly man To oppose great Nature''s plan?
45306Why?
45306Will another like him arise?
45306Will wonders never cease?
45306Will ye go to the Hielands, Leezie Lindsay, My pride and my darling to be?
45306Will ye go to the Hielands, Leezie Lindsay, Will ye go to the Hielands wi''me?
45306With his hair cut short and his tail cut long, Where, oh where can he be?"
45306Wonder if they were pirates?
45306Wonder what they are?"
45306Would Sir Walter have been less great had he sprung from common stock or would Robbie have been greater had he been blue- blooded?
45306Ye see yon birkie, ca''d a lord, Wha''struts and stares and a''that?
45306You do n''t believe me?
45306You want to add another book to this little pile, do you?
45306are these your pranks, To murder men and gi''e God thanks?
45306art thou not ashamed To doat upon a feature?
45306exclaimed the old gent;"what''s de matter with''em?"
45306or his Rip Van Winkle, or his sketches, the Alhambra, etc.?
37687Ahem?
37687And what does this horse keep on laughing for?
37687And what say you, Corn- flower?
37687And where is your real father and mother?
37687Awful- looking old man,I say,"did ever you hear of the Battle of the Standard?"
37687Been at sea all your life, hain''t you?
37687But, John, you''ve heard of Grace Darling?
37687By everything that''s mysterious,I said,"why have you got your jaws tied up?
37687Can we do it?
37687Did ever you see such a glorious meadow in your life?
37687Did you ever see greener grass,he continued,"or more lovely white clover?
37687Did you never hear or read that a battle was fought near this spot?
37687Do ye mean to tell me,she said,"that you dropped out of the clouds in a thunderstorm with a tin- kettle in your hand?"
37687Gang back a wee yet?
37687Got anything to sell?
37687Got anything to_ give_ away, then?
37687Ha,I think,"from Yorkshire?
37687Hast never heard of Saint Cuthbert?
37687How old are you, my man?
37687How old are you?
37687Inverness?
37687Is he a Liberal?
37687Is he a Salvationist?
37687Is he a Tory?
37687Is it a large village?
37687John,I shout,"is n''t that heavenly music?
37687Let go?
37687Never do what?
37687Now,she said, after we had talked on a variety of topics,"come into the parlour and I shall play and sing to you?"
37687On the whole, John,I say, as I reseat myself among the rugs,"how do you like to be a gipsy?"
37687Shall we drop a tear to her memory, my gentle Jehu?
37687Stay?
37687Stop the''orses, ca n''t yer? 37687 That''s just where it is-- what would be the use of a war- cry if it were n''t startling?
37687The bath all ready? 37687 Then we can have a bucket or two of water, I suppose?"
37687Too much,do you say?
37687What are ye greetin''[ weeping] about, my wee laddie?
37687What does he do?
37687What does he keep?
37687What say you, Pea- blossom?
37687What''s a mosquito,''oman?
37687What?
37687What_ can_ have happened?
37687Where be goin''to sleep yourse''f?
37687Who lives here?
37687Why? 37687 Why?"
37687You have doubtless led a strictly abstemious life, have n''t you?
37687You have led a very temperate life, have n''t you?
37687You''ve got a nut on you?
37687_ Quien sabe_? 37687 ` What''s the krect thing to do, polly?''
37687A milestone?
37687A telegram?
37687About going where he likes, for instance?
37687About pigs?
37687Accommodation?
37687And what shall I say of gowan or mountain- daisy?
37687And who were they after all?
37687Are the good folks of Lyndhurst ghouls?
37687Are we back in the middle ages, I wonder?
37687Are you fond of history?
37687But have they not their rivals in the climbing honeysuckle and in the bright- eyed creeping convolvulus?
37687But is hope quite past, even for these?
37687But she must be very heavy?
37687But then you will think early rising the reverse of a hardship, for did you not turn in at ten o''clock?
37687But what dreadful calamity had happened to my home?
37687But what have we here?
37687But what must the horse himself have thought of those philosophers?
37687But what shall I say about the scenery''twixt Bankfoot and Dunkeld?
37687But which hen was to have it?
37687But would he own it?
37687By the way, who was Jack, I wonder, and what three kings are referred to?
37687Can that be had in a Wanderer caravan?
37687Can this be the ghost of Penn?
37687Can you tell wot the gemman means,''Arry?"
37687Clean?
37687Could the horses do it this time?
37687Did Wallingford not hold out against the Danes also?
37687Did it ever strike the reader that those same great velvety bees are republicans in their way of thinking?
37687Did not two of the greatest philosophers the world ever saw attempt to put their own nag in the shafts once?
37687Did we purchase these flowers?
37687Do n''t you like it, John?
37687Do you care for the picture, reader?
37687Do you long for society?
37687Do you take us for Cheap- Jacks?"
37687Does it smell at all?
37687Does n''t it stir your blood?"
37687Dost think I''d give thee water?
37687Eh, Dick?
37687Ettrick and Teviotdale, Why, my lads, dinna ye march forward in order?
37687Fed with good oats, oftentimes hurt by the whip?
37687Gallant, did I say?
37687Has Twyford the Great then, it may reasonably enough be asked, anything in particular to boast of?
37687Has my city reader noticed it in bloom in May?
37687Hath not a horse feet, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions?
37687Have you never heard the legend that he sailed down the Tweed in a huge stone coffin?"
37687Have you seen the golden- tasselled broom waving in the soft spring wind?
37687Here again is my coachman being interviewed by some country bumpkins:--"Who be your master, matie?"
37687How did we come here?
37687I am often asked, Is it not very hot in summer?
37687I had never been to Mark- lane, and who is Hyde?
37687I never tried to pull_ your_ tail off, did I?
37687I said to Brad,"How much, my friend?"
37687I wonder if I am truly getting ill, or old, or something; and if a complete change would do me good?"
37687I wonder what pigs do dream about?
37687I wondered if the Wanderer really was an object of curiosity to the groups who gathered and walked and talked around us?
37687If a man be driving the trap that is meeting her, is it not his duty to give place to her?
37687If a man comes to the back door of your caravan and addresses you thus:"Chuck us a dollop o''stale tommy, guv''nor, will yer?"
37687If touched with the whip, she immediately nibbles round at Corn- flower''s head, as much as to say,"Come on, ca n''t you, you lazy stick?
37687Inland, are there not grand old hills and wild woodlands, lonely straths and glens, and splendid sheets of water?
37687Is He mocking at their calamity?
37687Is it not possible that the mountain firs of our Scottish Highlands would spread also had they room?
37687Is it not said that the wild anemone or wind- flower grew from the tears shed by Venus over the grave of Adonis?
37687Is it not, however, also said that the whole country north of Newcastle properly belongs to Caledonia?
37687Is it the tomb of a saint?
37687Is n''t that dreadful, my dear?
37687Is not,"I continued, parodying Shylock''s speech--"Is not a horse an animal?
37687Is that the remark you make, dear reader?
37687Is the bare idea not calculated to induce a more dreadful nightmare than even a lobster salad?"
37687Is there not, too, the finest tree scenery that exists anywhere in Scotland?
37687Knowest thou this song, John?"
37687Matilda was led away to the stable, the after- steps were let down, and the children said,"Is n''t it dinner- time, pa?"
37687Might not, I asked myself, any one or more of a thousand accidents befall her?
37687Must the Wanderer, indeed, climb that terrible hill?
37687Nay, more, have I not also my West Australian cockatoo to talk to me, to sing with me, and dance when I play?
37687Need I mention Floors Castle, Kelso Abbey, Melrose Abbey, or the abbeys of Jedburgh and romantic Dryburgh?
37687No poetry about a potato field?
37687Not quite liking the accommodation recommended to us by a villager, I called on Mr E--, and coyly-- shall I say"coyly?"
37687O fickle fortune, why this cruel sporting?
37687O, why thus perplex us poor sons of a day?
37687Or can I have been dreaming?
37687Or, later on in the season, the tall and stately foxgloves blooming red amidst the greenery of a fern bank?
37687She may not know her own side of the road, but what does that matter?
37687Sight- seeing?
37687Smeaton?
37687Subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer as a Christian is?"
37687The round- faced landlord was very polite, but when I asked for a photographer,--"A wot, sir?"
37687There is a sharp corner to turn, too, up yonder, and what is beyond?
37687This will make you laugh, and if one should overtake you and go swilling round your ankles, why, what matters it?
37687We must not grumble, must we, my dear?
37687Well, polly, as I were a sayin'', he comes to the stable, and he says to Garge,` Garge,''says he--"But would you believe it, dear dobbin?
37687Were we invited?
37687What are the old horse''s forefeet tied together for, pa?"
37687What beauty, it might be asked, could a lover of nature descry in an old stone fence?
37687What by early hours and moderate meals?
37687What care I that Oko Jumbo has departed, or that there has been a royal visit to Leeds?
37687What charmed me most in this Forest?
37687What does that matter?
37687What else could I do but wave my hat in return?
37687What is it, I wonder?
37687What must it have been one hundred years ago?
37687What though your table be small, the viands plain?
37687What young girl fresh from school can be found who can not drive?
37687What''s the odds so long as you''re happy?
37687When frozen one day last winter, I found her throwing the seeds on top of the ice, and saying,"Poor dear Polly?"
37687Whenever any one now says to me,"There is a terrible hill a few miles on,""Can a cat get up?"
37687Where am I?
37687Where are our tourists?
37687Where on earth, he asks, do these streams come from?
37687Where on earth_ has_ it gone to?"
37687Which of the wild flowers, I now wonder, did I love the best?
37687Who can tell?
37687Who should meet me in London, all unexpectedly as it were, but"mamma"?
37687Who would not be a gipsy?
37687Who, I wonder, drinks all the"fine old beer,"the"sparkling ales,"and the"London stout,"in this town of Porchester?
37687Who_ would_ be a dweller in dusty cities, I wonder, who can enjoy life like this?
37687Why called"Fenny,"I wonder?
37687Why could not the man have said"caravan"?
37687Why, he said in reply, did not I go straight to the Bristol Waggon Company?
37687Will that scale suit you to measure_ your_ health against?
37687Will they return with but a glimmer of light before it is for ever too late?
37687Will ye buy a basket, missus?
37687Would n''t you laugh too, if you had to live for a hundred years?
37687Would ye no obleege us with just one blink at ye?"
37687Would you not accept the latter almost as readily as the former?
37687Yes, all that time, and why not?
37687Yes, you would, especially if she said,--"Have a few flowers, sir?
37687_ Quien sabe_?
37687` Do you imagine for a moment that a born lady like me is interested in your Dobbins, and your Garges, and your fat old farmer Frogues?
37687a battlefield memorial?
37687and have you not slept the sweet sleep of the just-- or a gentleman gipsy?
37687but what must they be in winter, when the storm winds sweep over them, and when neither fur nor feather can find food and shelter anywhere near them?
37687cried one;"are ye in, missus?
37687cried the soldier''s wife,"is that a mosquito?"
37687how_ can_ she help it?
37687i says, says i;` shall us kick or shall us bolt?''
37687or the top of the steeple blown down in a gale of wind?
37687says the gentle author,"have I gained by health?
37687the old village well?
37687where our health and pleasure- seekers?
37687why not go for a month to Morpeth?
