6018 | Dr Johnson asked, what made the difference? |
6018 | Dr Johnson said,''A wind, or not a wind? |
6018 | Dr Johnson said,''How THE DEVIL can you do it?'' |
6018 | Finding that there was now a discovery, Malcolm asked,''What''s to be done?'' |
6018 | For, when I asked him,''Would not you, sir, start as Mr Garrick does, if you saw a ghost?'' |
6018 | From whom can it be, in this commerce, that I desire to hide any thing? |
6018 | Garrick was asked,''Sir, have you a free benefit?'' |
6018 | He asked, how did the women do? |
6018 | He asked,''Is this Mr Boswell?'' |
6018 | He had told me, that one day in London, when Dr Adam Smith was boasting of it, he turned to him and said,''Pray, sir, have you ever seen Brentford?'' |
6018 | He laughed heartily at his lordship''s saying he was an ENTHUSIASTICAL farmer;''for,''said he,''what can he do in farming by his ENTHUSIASM?'' |
6018 | He looked at me, as if I had talked of going to the North Pole, and said,''You do not insist on my accompanying you?'' |
6018 | He spoke of Prince Charles being here, and asked Mrs Macdonald,''WHO was with him? |
6018 | How can you talk so? |
6018 | I am desiring to become charitable myself; and why may I not plainly say so? |
6018 | I asked if this was not unlucky: would not they hurt one another? |
6018 | I put him in mind of it to- day, while he expressed his admiration of the elegant buildings, and whispered him,''Do n''t you feel some remorse?'' |
6018 | I said,''Would not the same objection hold against the Trinity as against transubstantiation?'' |
6018 | If this be the case, why are not these distinctly ascertained? |
6018 | Is not a great part of it chosen by peers? |
6018 | Is there shame in it, or impiety? |
6018 | It was striking to hear all of them drinking? |
6018 | Let Dr Smith consider: Was not Mr Hume blest with good health, good spirits, good friends, a competent and increasing fortune? |
6018 | Let us consider; can there be more wanting to complete the Meditation on a Pudding? |
6018 | M''Leod asked, what is the particular excellence of Burke''s eloquence? |
6018 | Must we never have more convenience than Rorie More had? |
6018 | Now, how low should a price be? |
6018 | Of such ancestry who would not be proud? |
6018 | Or is it, perhaps, better to be brought about by indirect means, and in this artful manner? |
6018 | Pray, what do you know about his motions? |
6018 | Quo vagor ulterius? |
6018 | Sir, he would reason thus:"What will it cost me to be there once in two or three summers? |
6018 | The contest now is, What HAS he?'' |
6018 | The landlady said to me,''Is not this the great Doctor that is going about through the country?'' |
6018 | The serjeant asked,''Who is this fellow?'' |
6018 | The wish is laudable: why should I form designs to hide it? |
6018 | Tuesday, 14th September Dr Johnson said in the morning,''Is not this a fine lady?'' |
6018 | Was it upon that occasion that he expressed no curiosity to see the room at Dumfermline, where Charles I was born? |
6018 | What can the M''Craas tell about themselves a thousand years ago? |
6018 | What have your clergy done, since you sunk into presbyterianism? |
6018 | What is it then that I am doing? |
6018 | What is it to live and not to love?'' |
6018 | What made you buy such a book at Inverness?'' |
6018 | What part of Bayle do you mean? |
6018 | What principle is there, why a loadstone attracts iron? |
6018 | When Dr Johnson came in, she called to him,''Do you choose any cold sheep''s- head, sir?'' |
6018 | Which of all these dishes is unwholsome?'' |
6018 | Who CAN like the Highlands? |
6018 | Why a tree grows upwards, when the natural tendency of all things is downwards? |
6018 | Why an egg produces a chicken by heat? |
6018 | Why do n''t we see men thus produced around us now? |
6018 | Why does he not tell how to fill it?'' |
6018 | Why is not the form of the petition brought nearer to the meaning? |
6018 | Why not as well be Rorie More all over, as live upon his rock? |
6018 | Why, at least, does it not keep pace, in some measure, with the progress of time? |
6018 | Your old preceptor repeated, with much solemnity, the speech How far is''t called to Fores? |
6018 | but instantly corrected himself,''How can you do it?'' |
6018 | is this the case?'' |
6018 | or what degree of confidence should there be to make a bargain be set aside? |
6018 | said Dr Johnson,''you must have a very great trade?'' |
6018 | sir, what can a nation that has not letters tell of its original? |
6018 | who 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? |
38822 | And why,said he,"should not a man be cheerful on the verge of heaven?" |
38822 | And would you undertake to do this, my good friend? |
38822 | And your wife, is she well? |
38822 | Are you too a Cameronian? |
38822 | But do n''t you think that it was rather cruel sport? |
38822 | But you have a little pinch occasionally-- in the cold and stormy winter weather? |
38822 | Can you make''the twa ends meet''at the close of the year? |
38822 | Come 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? |
38822 | Did he belong to the established kirk? |
38822 | Did you know any thing of Sir Walter Scott? 38822 Do you mean the rock, Francis?" |
38822 | Even so,was the reply,"seven pounds; but how much then do they get with you?" |
38822 | Have you a cow? |
38822 | Have you any family, my friend? |
38822 | Hold your tongue, my lady fair; For what needs a''this sorrow? 38822 How many pounds go to a dollar?" |
38822 | I 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?" |
38822 | Lang 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? |
38822 | Sandy then got over his troubles, did he? |
38822 | The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God--was Burns an atheist? |
38822 | Weel, my lad,he would say, patting my head,"how d''ye do-- and how''s your faither, and how''s your mither? |
38822 | Well, what have you for victuals? |
38822 | What are you going to do with a Greek Testament? |
38822 | What of that? 38822 What''s Yarrow but a river bare, That glides the dark hills under? |
38822 | What''s the matter? |
38822 | Why, 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? |
38822 | A_ 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?" |
38822 | After standing a few moments, the one said to the other,"Did you ever hear such preaching as that?" |
38822 | And a''the family, are they weel? |
38822 | And is this-- Yarrow?--This the stream Of which my fancy cherished So faithfully a waking dream? |
38822 | And 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? |
38822 | And shall we tread that holy ground, And breathe that fragrant air; And view the fields with glory crowned In cloudless beauty fair? |
38822 | And these roses, the fairest that ever were seen? |
38822 | And 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? |
38822 | And whence this falling tear In sad remembrance of his merit just? |
38822 | And why yon melancholious weeds, Hung on the bonny birks o''Yarrow? |
38822 | Are we a piece of machinery, which like the à � olian harp, passive, takes the impression of the passing accident? |
38822 | Come, who is your mistress now?" |
38822 | Did he not accomplish a great and beneficial work of Reform; and, having done this, did he not die a sweet and triumphant death? |
38822 | Does not Holy Writ declare,"_ Blessed_ are the dead that die in the Lord?" |
38822 | Does not Scotland, however inferior, in some respects it may be deemed to other lands, possess a peculiar charm to all cultivated minds? |
38822 | From vales that knew our lives devoid of stain? |
38822 | Hae ye mark''d the dews o''morning, Glittering in the sunny ray, Quickly fa''when, without warning, Rough blasts came and shook the spray? |
38822 | Hae ye seen the bird fast fleeing, Drap when pierced by death mair fleet? |
38822 | Have I so found it full of pleasing charms? |
38822 | Have you any land to cultivate?" |
38822 | Have you thought of that?" |
38822 | How 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? |
38822 | How can I love to see thee shine So bright, whom I have bought so dear? |
38822 | How far came ye the day? |
38822 | How sparkling are her eyes? |
38822 | How, then, could honored Thomas Carlyle bring himself to affirm,"that Burns had no religion?" |
38822 | I 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? |
38822 | I marvel, Jeanie Morrison, Gin[148] I hae been to thee, As closely twined wi''earliest thochts, As ye hae been to me? |
38822 | In them there is frequent, habitual recognition of the Creator; and who that finds joy and beauty in nature has not the same? |
38822 | Is that blue light the moon''s or tomb- fire''s gleam? |
38822 | Is that dull sound the hum of Teviot''s stream? |
38822 | Is this your daughter Glaud? |
38822 | It seems to us to utter the deep throbbings of the poet''s spirit:"Why am I loth to leave this earthly scene? |
38822 | Just when her notes began with skill To sound beneath the southern hill, And twine around my bosom''s core, How could we part forevermore? |
38822 | Kilmeny, Kilmeny, where have you been? |
38822 | Kilmeny, Kilmeny, where have you been? |
38822 | Knox, doubtless, had his faults; and what of that? |
38822 | O mind ye, luve, how aft we left The deavin''[142] dinsome[143] toun, To wander by the green burnside, And hear its waters croon? |
38822 | O 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? |
38822 | Or death''s unlovely, dreary, dark abode? |
38822 | Or do these workings argue something within us above the trodden clod? |
38822 | Or have a thought that ought intrude Save birds and humming bees?" |
38822 | Or what of Scotland? |
38822 | Out and spak her father dear, Says,"What needs a''this sorrow? |
38822 | Pray, my good fellow, how would you propose to do that?" |
38822 | Some drops of joy, with draughts of ill between; Some gleams of sunshine''mid renewing storms; Is it departing pangs my soul alarms? |
38822 | Strange auld man, what art thou? |
38822 | Tell me, my dear friend, to what can this be owing? |
38822 | That bonny snook[173] o''the birk sae green? |
38822 | The 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?" |
38822 | Then 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? |
38822 | Then stay thee, fair, in Ravensheuch; Why cross the gloomy Firth to- day?" |
38822 | They who forewent us did leave room for us; and should we grieve to do the same to those who should come after us? |
38822 | This the stream, Of which my fancy cherished So faithfully a waking dream, An image that hath perished?" |
38822 | Waking 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? |
38822 | Was St. Kessog a true martyr? |
38822 | Was he not a true man, and a true minister of God''s Word? |
38822 | Wha can this new- comer be?'' |
38822 | Wha in neeboring town or farm? |
38822 | Wha nursed her mother that now hauds my hand? |
38822 | Wha was ance like Willie Gairlace? |
38822 | Wha, worse than brutes, cou''d leave exposed to air Sae much o''innocence sae sweetly fair, Sae helpless young? |
38822 | Whare gat ye that bonny, bonny bride? |
38822 | Whare gat ye that winsome marrow? |
38822 | What could they be, thought I, did thee forsake? |
38822 | What d''ye mean? |
38822 | What fields or waves or mountains? |
38822 | What grand agency has accomplished all this? |
38822 | What ignorance of pain? |
38822 | What is most like thee? |
38822 | What love of thine own kind? |
38822 | What man in his senses ever lived without religion? |
38822 | What objects are the fountains Of thy happy strain? |
38822 | What shapes of sky or plain? |
38822 | What think you of this world? |
38822 | What time the daisy decks the green, Thy certain voice we hear; Hast thou a star to guide thy path, Or mark the rolling year? |
38822 | What vanity has brought thee here? |
38822 | What''s yonder floats on the rueful flude? |
38822 | When he first saw Jeanie Miller, Wha wi''Jeanie could compare? |
38822 | When the great winds through leafless forests rushing, Sad music make? |
38822 | Whence then these sighs? |
38822 | Where gat you that joup[172] o''the lily scheen? |
38822 | Where in Italy or in Austria will you meet aught so beautiful or thrilling as the following? |
38822 | Where now the triumph of his lofty powers of knowledge? |
38822 | Where now will be the joy of his lofty inquiries? |
38822 | Where on thy dewy wing, Where art thou journeying? |
38822 | Where was it that the famous Flower Of Yarrow Vale lay bleeding? |
38822 | Who, 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? |
38822 | Why 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? |
38822 | Why on thy braes heard the voice o''sorrow? |
38822 | Why runs thy stream, O Yarrow, Yarrow, red? |
38822 | Will there be any heart still memory keeping, Of heretofore? |
38822 | Women will die or even grow old; and what are we to do? |
38822 | Would 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? |
38822 | and what is power? |
38822 | and what, too, of that? |
38822 | com''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? |
38822 | did n''t I tell you, sir? |
38822 | does Jeanie Miller Naught o''Willie Gairlace see?'' |
38822 | he exclaimed, springing up from his chair,"do you mean to tell me that they pay a schoolmaster with_ seven pounds_ a year?" |
38822 | honest nurse, where were my eyes before? |
38822 | say gin e''er your heart grows[149] grit Wi''dreamings o''lang syne? |
38822 | unmindful of thy early days, Why didst thou quit the simple peasant''s lot? |
38822 | what ghastly spectre''s yon, Comes in his pale shroud, bleeding after? |
38822 | which who can see, Though but in distant prospect, and not feel His soul refreshed with foretaste of the joy?" |
38822 | why should we undo it? |
45306 | About the James boys? |
45306 | Cabin or steerage? |
45306 | Can you blame me for trying to make a stake? |
45306 | Did you ever read the life of the James boys, Billy? |
45306 | Do n''t you think that would be a fair divvy? |
45306 | Do the Britishers, of course; what else? |
45306 | Do you know anything about grammar, geography or composition? |
45306 | Do you want a ticket? |
45306 | Do? |
45306 | Ever herd cattle? |
45306 | Fine and dandy; ever been there? |
45306 | Got any money or tickets? |
45306 | He wanted me to go in, did n''t he, whether I wanted to or not? |
45306 | Hello, pardner; how''s tricks? |
45306 | Hi, Billy,exclaimed I,"look at them yellow balls hanging on the trees, will you? |
45306 | Ho, yer a Yankee, then? |
45306 | How are we going to put in the day, Windy? |
45306 | How cheap? |
45306 | How could you write a book if you do n''t know anything about grammar? |
45306 | How do others cross it; ca n''t I ride over in a boat? |
45306 | How many copies will you want? |
45306 | How many pages will the book contain? |
45306 | How much money have you got, Billy? |
45306 | If he thinks anything of me do n''t you think he''ll come back to me? |
45306 | It''s in the fo''-castle,says Jack, with a wink at his mates;"do you want it?" |
45306 | Kin you ride? |
45306 | Lemme see, now; what''ll I tackle? |
45306 | Look at all this array, Windy,said I to myself;"where are you going to get off at? |
45306 | Look at that; call them trifles? |
45306 | Looking for a job, cully? |
45306 | Maybe you think I ai n''t got any? |
45306 | Me? 45306 My card? |
45306 | No, I never did? 45306 O, Mary, when shall we return Sic pleasure to renew?" |
45306 | Of course you can but it will cost you lots of money, and where are you going to get it? |
45306 | Oh, that''s the game, is it? 45306 Oh, that''s the ticket, is it? |
45306 | Oh, that''s what you''re after, is it? 45306 Oh, you are, are you?" |
45306 | Oh, you do, eh? 45306 One of two must still obey, Nancy, Nancy; Is it man or woman, say? |
45306 | Say Billy,remarked I with my mouth full of bread,"get on to the orange trees, will you?" |
45306 | Sleep over nothing,quickly retorted I;"am I the first man who ever wrote a book?" |
45306 | So you''re going to write a book, eh? |
45306 | Suppose we put it in sight- seeing? |
45306 | The h---- he wo n''t,responded I, angrily;"that''s what he''s paid for, is n''t it?" |
45306 | The hell you are,profanely responded Billy;"what are you going to do with it after it is written down?" |
45306 | The hell you did; how''s things out that way? |
45306 | They talk English over there, do n''t they? 45306 To''Frisco?" |
45306 | Trifles, are they? |
45306 | What air ye going to do in Glesgie? |
45306 | What are you going to do about it, Billy? |
45306 | What are you going to do with all the money you make out of that book of yourn? |
45306 | What are you riding on? |
45306 | What can I do for you? |
45306 | What do you think of''Frisco, Windy? |
45306 | What do you want to see him about? 45306 What do you want to see him about?" |
45306 | What does she mean by that? |
45306 | What kind do you like? |
45306 | What kind of a book is it you''ve written? 45306 What kind of meat?" |
45306 | What size do you wear? |
45306 | What will ye be doin''in Glasgie? |
45306 | What you doin''dar? |
45306 | What you fellers doin''there? |
45306 | What''ll it be tonight; a ten- cent show or Chinatown once more? |
45306 | What''s the fare? |
45306 | What''s the fare? |
45306 | What''s the harm, Billy? |
45306 | What''s the matter with earning it or getting a job on a steamer; did n''t you do it? |
45306 | What''s the matter? |
45306 | What''s the name of the ship I''m going to sail on? |
45306 | What''s the use trying''em on? |
45306 | What''s tickling you, Billy? |
45306 | What''s yer trade? |
45306 | When? |
45306 | Where to? |
45306 | Where to? |
45306 | Where you bound for? |
45306 | Where''d ye come from, the noo? |
45306 | Where''d you come from? |
45306 | Where''d you do your herding? |
45306 | Where''ll we go this evening? |
45306 | Where''s that? |
45306 | Where? |
45306 | Which bank will you put your money in? |
45306 | Which boss? |
45306 | Who gets all the money from the sale of the book? |
45306 | Who says you have n''t? 45306 Who, me?" |
45306 | Why do n''t he write to me? |
45306 | Why do n''t you get married and find out? |
45306 | Why do n''t you go on deck if you want to be sick? |
45306 | Will you please let me have your card? |
45306 | Will you please write your name and the nature of your business on this tablet? 45306 You are, hey? |
45306 | You do n''t like der style? |
45306 | You do n''t like''em? |
45306 | You sabee cookee? |
45306 | You say I ca n''t beat my way in the old country, Billy; why not? |
45306 | You say I ca n''t beat my way when I get across to Europe; why not? |
45306 | You 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?" |
45306 | After you get the book printed who''s going to sell it for you; going around peddling it?" |
45306 | And another thing, there are no brake- beams on the other side, no blind baggage and no bumpers, so where are you going to ride? |
45306 | Are you going to go in opposition to them?" |
45306 | Are you looking for a job?" |
45306 | As 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?" |
45306 | As I was poor, that swell neighborhood was no place for me, but where was I to find a poorer locality? |
45306 | Be lots of champagne flowing about that time, eh?" |
45306 | But what was the use of thinking or worrying? |
45306 | Ca n''t I talk English?" |
45306 | Call that music? |
45306 | Can you blame a rich old Mormon for having a big bunch of wives if he can support them? |
45306 | Did I see the Falls? |
45306 | Did I? |
45306 | Did he need polish to make him shine? |
45306 | Did n''t I have some money in my inside pocket? |
45306 | Did our Washy need a sponsor? |
45306 | Did you ever watch a calf when it sucks its mother, how it makes a grab for a teat, rest awhile, then make another grab? |
45306 | Do n''t you believe me? |
45306 | Do n''t you think that would do for a starter?" |
45306 | Do you want to know the honest truth? |
45306 | Even had I been armed what could I have done against seven men in close quarters? |
45306 | From my accent she gathered that I was a foreigner for she asked at once:"Yer a furriner, ai n''t ye?" |
45306 | Graham?" |
45306 | Have n''t I got as good a right to write a book as anyone else?" |
45306 | Have you read Irving''s Astoria, a true and lifelike history of the Northwest? |
45306 | He figured it out this way:"Suppose the book fails, where do I get off at? |
45306 | He puts up the dough and what do you put up?" |
45306 | Here lies Johnny Pidgeon; What was his religion? |
45306 | History, travel, poetry, novel or what?" |
45306 | How many ships do tip over? |
45306 | How or where will I begin to describe these things? |
45306 | I believe the son- in- law is inclined to be facetious, but is he_ just_ to his immortal father- in- law? |
45306 | I did n''t think it was any of his business, so I said:"What do you want to know for?" |
45306 | I hated to die so young, but what''s the odds? |
45306 | I remained standing there, whereupon the sober one got angry and turned on me with the remark:"Did yer never see ah lassie fou?" |
45306 | I was for moving on, but Billy said,"What''s the harm? |
45306 | I was on deck waiting to see the storm out, for what was the use going below and being drowned there? |
45306 | I wonder would they appreciate it if I showed them a few samples? |
45306 | In 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?" |
45306 | It is entitled:"Will ye go to the Highlands, Leezie Lindsay?" |
45306 | Look abroad through Nature''s range-- Nature''s mighty law is change; Ladies, would it not be strange, Man should then a monster prove? |
45306 | Maybe I did n''t applaud? |
45306 | Maybe you''ll drive tandem and handle the ribbons yourself?" |
45306 | Nay, withal, was he not a right brave and strong man according to his kind? |
45306 | Nothing more nor less than--"Where, oh where has my little dog gone, Where, oh where can he be? |
45306 | O 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? |
45306 | O, CAN YE SEW CUSHIONS? |
45306 | O, can ye sew cushions and can ye sew sheets, And can ye sing bal- lu- loo when the bairn greets? |
45306 | O, what would I do wi''you? |
45306 | Say, pardner, pinch me, will you? |
45306 | See what kids read, will you? |
45306 | Should auld acquaintance be forgot And days o''auld lang syne? |
45306 | Should auld acquaintance be forgot, And never brought to min''? |
45306 | That''s a good argument, ai n''t it? |
45306 | The 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? |
45306 | They were having a whole lot of fun at my expense but I never said another word, for what was the use? |
45306 | Was I happy after I bought the ticket? |
45306 | Was Shakespeare appreciated in his generation? |
45306 | Was any truly great man? |
45306 | Was it his thoughts or their setting that captivated people? |
45306 | Was n''t his genius just as great before he struck society? |

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