14466 | Hark, what is that? |
14466 | Is He dead indeed? 14466 Is that all?" |
14466 | What will they do with us? |
14466 | And then, quickly turning to Mr. Baker, she continued:"What have you been telling Lady Sarah to make her think I am not loyal?" |
14466 | Could this small force have for one moment been a match for the well- equipped besiegers if the inhabitants had not fought for and with the garrison? |
14466 | Have not their courage and endurance thrilled the whole world? |
14466 | How many head of cattle had they on the farm? |
14466 | In the meantime the cry of the loyal colonists went up from all sides:"How much longer can it last?" |
14466 | Is he really here?" |
14466 | It comes last, but is it least? |
14466 | Labouchere?" |
14466 | Was he fighting for the English? |
14466 | What was Mr. Keeley doing in Mafeking? |

15160 | ''Guard, is there any news this morning?'' |
15160 | ''Is intervention advisable under the circumstances? |
15160 | ''Must the Kaffirs or natives have more rights?'' |
15160 | A woman can not flee from place to place like a man, and life in a''refugee''(?) |
15160 | And for the Kaffirs to be eventually allowed to vote? |
15160 | But what if the enemy, prepared for our arrival, were to pepper at us unexpectedly from a different direction, or to point their Maxims at us? |
15160 | For had we not made up our minds not to risk a repetition of the attack on Rooirandjes? |
15160 | Had we indeed fought so long and so fiercely only to become an English colony, and not to be allowed to carry arms unless we had a license? |
15160 | How long should we still be chased from place to place? |
15160 | I asked him,''Uncle, are you sure that our lager is in the hands of the khakies?'' |
15160 | Some women called out to us:''Why were you so stupid as to let yourselves be caught?'' |
15160 | What does it matter if_ I_ do go on leave? |
15160 | What must they have thought of us? |
15160 | What was the good of our fighting if the Colony would not help us? |
15160 | When his father angrily asked,''Have you found Kindermeid now?'' |
15160 | When would there be rest for our exhausted bodies? |
15160 | Who shall blame the man who rides away with an anxious heart to his wife and children, no matter what the consequences may be to himself? |
16690 | And your submarines? |
16690 | If a man were full of hot air, how could he have cold feet? |
16690 | What is that? |
16690 | Why should they stop? |
16690 | A German officer came up to him and said in my hearing,"Were you not told this morning that you were to go on the_ Igotz Mendi_?" |
16690 | Also, had these two ships seen the_ Wolf_, from which we had parted only twenty- four hours before? |
16690 | And what of the women and children on board? |
16690 | But, after all, we reflected, what is one ship in this vast expanse of stormy seas? |
16690 | Could anything be worse? |
16690 | Did he feel no remorse, no regret? |
16690 | Liberty, or continued captivity; life, or death at sea? |
16690 | On this morning the Captain said to me,"Mr. Trayes, did n''t you say you were going to Cape Town?" |
16690 | Quoting the Board of Trade under such conditions-- was this a sample of German humour? |
16690 | The first mate came along and jokingly said to us,"What more can you want? |
16690 | We, who had not seen the shore for months, and had never expected to land on any, much less a free one, were to go ashore?_ Were we dreaming? |
16690 | We, who had not seen the shore for months, and had never expected to land on any, much less a free one, were to go ashore?_ Were we dreaming? |
16690 | Were we really to be saved at the very last minute? |
16690 | What would our fate have been if we had tried-- and failed? |
16690 | What would the New Year bring forth? |
16690 | What would their fate be now? |
16690 | Why, indeed? |
16690 | Would help never come? |
16690 | _ We were to go ashore? |
10918 | Do you speak English? |
10918 | Then, would you like to see those in the Royal Chambers upstairs? |
10918 | We two speak together? |
10918 | Were you satisfied with your treatment by the War Office in Brussels, Herr Green? 10918 Where to?" |
10918 | You are for the American newspapers? |
10918 | You have to do a lot of quick transporting? |
10918 | You know the road? |
10918 | And did the private, ordered against his will to perform an act whose memory drove him insane, commit an atrocity? |
10918 | And why do you come?" |
10918 | And why, if you have already been wiss ze army in scenes of war, do you now come to me for permission?" |
10918 | For the third time he interrupted himself to ask:--"You are Amerikaner-- yes? |
10918 | Later a crowd of big brutes, apparently pretty drunk, swaggered down and clapped me on the back with a''Who are you, my friend?'' |
10918 | Later a mother in black and a girl, also in black( the daughter, or daughter- in- law, I should judge), came into the Heiniger(?) |
10918 | Therefore, each eye was turned against its neighbor, and each man, as he passed you, asked the silent question,--"Did you shoot Herman Rosenthal?" |
10918 | Under the law of military reprisal was there justification for the death of this woman? |
10918 | WO GEHEN SIE?" |
10918 | WOHIN? |
10918 | Was the dying officer guilty of barbarian conduct? |
10918 | What loyal German could possibly remain sober on the Crown Princess''s birthday?" |
10918 | When will the awakening come? |
10918 | Where were we going, and why? |
10918 | Why did you not?" |
10918 | exclaimed the major, bursting into a laugh;"vatever can be done mit such a man?" |
13235 | Ga''rn, what battle''s that? |
13235 | Had ye ever a thun rred line? |
13235 | What shall we do? |
13235 | Why, what''s the time? |
13235 | ''Who goes there?'' |
13235 | )_--The Boers, as it seemed to me( but what does one know? |

13235 | Is he really here, sick or wounded? |
13235 | Is it going to rain? |
13235 | Is there time for a snooze at this halt? |
13235 | Or is it a mistake for me, my name having been seen in a newspaper and mistaken for his? |
13235 | Shall we be wanted? |
13235 | Shall we camp in time to dry my blankets? |
13235 | Some one shouted,"Anything to sell?" |
13235 | What regiment was there? |
13235 | What will they do with them? |
13235 | Where to make a bed? |
13235 | Why should men be fighting here? |

20655 | CHAPTER X A FINE DAY FOR MURDER"Say, kid, want to go sniping?" |
20655 | Do n''t you think you could eat something?" |
20655 | How is it done? |
20655 | I overheard one of our men say:"_ General_ Turner? |
20655 | Now, how do you suppose Heinie got that? |
20655 | Now, they saw us come over here, did n''t they? |
20655 | See him, right beside that leaning tree? |
20655 | See?" |
20655 | There were other ships there, loading just as we were, some of which were known to be destined for the eastern theater; so how could we know? |
20655 | Would they call a Canadian or Australian or Scotch soldier a"Tommy"? |
20655 | [ Illustration: Canadian Soldiers in Action with Colt Machine Guns]"Oh, nothing; but do you think we can get away with it?" |
20928 | Has he? |
20928 | Indeed, madam,replied Hardee,"and how old do you take me for?" |
20928 | ''Uncle Robert''will get us into Washington yet; you bet he will?" |
20928 | Cease firing, sir; what is your name, sir?'' |
20928 | Every traveller we met on the road was eagerly asked the questions,"Are the Yanks in Brookhaven? |
20928 | Fairfax then said,"Is it a woman who speaks in such a manner of a dead body which can do no one any harm?" |
20928 | Is the railroad open?" |
20928 | It is said that at the end of a Texan journey the question asked is not,"Have you been upset?" |
20928 | The woman made a gesture with her foot, and replied,"If it was a rebel, do you think it would be here long?" |
20928 | Which is the General? |
20928 | but,"How many times have you been upset?" |
20928 | which is the Great Officer? |
20928 | who''s afraid of fire?" |
22074 | Shoot him? |
22074 | Well, why did n''t you shoot him? |
22074 | 17th._ The first question was, Was Canteleux occupied by the enemy? |
22074 | A message now came down from the plateau saying that some East Surreys and Bedfords were still up in the wood, and should they retire or hold on? |
22074 | And when the relief came again, was the best battalion always to be doomed to the worst and most dangerous trenches, merely because it_ was_ the best? |
22074 | And would you like to reinforce one battalion, in case of attack, by another battalion? |
22074 | Let them come? |
22074 | On its relief, who should hold it? |
22074 | Shoot? |
22074 | We were perpetually being urged to advance and attack, but how could we? |
22074 | What on earth would our destination be? |
22074 | What were our men to do? |
22074 | or would you like to make it thin in front and deep behind, and support itself? |
22074 | the next best, who was badly wanted somewhere else, or another one weak in numbers and consequently unfit? |
26138 | Is it any wonder that on such occasions we frequently gave way to our emotions? |
26040 | But why did so many of the early settlers, quickly leave the Atlantic coast for the Connecticut valley? |
26040 | There is still preserved a letter from England, written in a fine hand, with red ink, dated Obeydon? |
19705 | And the brown horse? |
19705 | Fearest thou? |
19705 | What shall we do? 19705 But whence is he likely to emerge? 19705 Did ever priest pronounce a blessing more grimly like a ban? 19705 How, otherwise, could they stand a long unbroken course of free living, with such infinitesimal correctives of exercise? 19705 I believed that Brigadier Turchin would soon want an_ aide_, and who knows? 19705 I wonder how many voices, if they dared speak out, would join in the dreary_ refrain_ of those last few words?" |
19705 | In Baltimore,"Is she beautiful?" |
19705 | In New York,"Is she wealthy?" |
19705 | In Philadelphia,"Is she well- born?" |
19705 | In which direction do the sympathies and interests of the_ Border_ States actually tend? |
19705 | On the appearance of a_ debutante_, they say, the first question in Boston is,"Is she clever?" |
19705 | So I answered, rather impatiently:"What the deuce would you have one do-- with a dead horse and a lamed leg? |
19705 | Then I pondered within myself--"If her hate be heavy to bear, what-- what-- would her love be?" |
19705 | Then he said,"_ Tiens-- tu aimes ton mari? |
19705 | What would you have? |
19705 | Which position was the most enviable at that moment-- the"full private''s"or that of his silent superiors? |
19705 | Who are you? |
19705 | Why did n''t you stop, and tell us who you are, and where you''re going?" |
19705 | Will you surrender?" |
19705 | Would you like to hear of the process? |
11086 | And how many of us realize that we English- speaking nations alone in the world have such nurses? |
11086 | And if so, how? |
11086 | And then? |
11086 | And when we return, what do we bring with us? |
11086 | And who shall say that it is not right? |
11086 | Are our cathedrals only stones and mortar, and are our paintings only dust and oil? |
11086 | Are you quite so sure about that? |
11086 | But we were quite happy, for had we not got Madame with us, and had her genius ever been known to fail, especially in the face of the impossible? |
11086 | For if once the navy of Britain is gone, who else can stop her course? |
11086 | Is any single man in this world worth as much as the Titanic? |
11086 | Is he? |
11086 | Is it too much to hope that some day its voice may be heard and may command? |
11086 | Is there such a thing as neutrality in this war? |
11086 | No one who has slept all his life in a bed would ever realize how comfortable straw is, and for picturesqueness has it an equal? |
11086 | We did our best to identify them, but what are the chances that many of them will ever see their parents again? |
11086 | What is going to happen to those children? |
11086 | What is there in a name after all? |
11086 | What more could the heart of surgeon desire? |
11086 | Who can tell what the next turn of the wheel will bring? |
12454 | And how long have you dealt with them? |
12454 | And this bombardment happens often? |
12454 | And were the baths by any chance called Denmark, Austria, and France in 1870? |
12454 | And where are the guns? |
12454 | And who are those women? |
12454 | And you? |
12454 | But what else could the people have done? |
12454 | But you_ are_ French, little one? |
12454 | By the way,he said to the gunner at last,"ca n''t you find something better than_ that? |
12454 | How? |
12454 | Is n''t it an adorable country? |
12454 | Nice people, are n''t they? |
12454 | Now why,asked a shopkeeper,"does not our Government, or your Government, or both our Governments, send some of the British Army to Paris? |
12454 | What is that place? |
12454 | What made the change? |
12454 | What_ is_ the tune? |
12454 | Who should be singing here? |
12454 | And next week would see them, hidden singly or in lurking confederacies, by mountain and marsh and forest, or the wrecked habitations of men-- where? |
12454 | Hand on hilt( rememberest thou? |
12454 | Now we count new keels afloat, and new hosts on land, Massed liked ours( rememberest thou?) |
12454 | Now we hear new voices rise, question, boast or gird, As we raged( rememberest thou?) |
12454 | Or as a woman put it more logically,"What else can we do? |
12454 | The epilogue, at least, was as old as both Armies:"And what did he say then?" |
12454 | To each other''s open court with our proofs we came, Where could we find honour else or men to test the claim? |
12454 | We have learned by keenest use to know each other''s mind: What shall blood and iron loose that we can not bind? |
12454 | We were schooled for dear life sake, to know each other''s blade: What can blood and iron make more than we have made? |
12454 | Would it please me to look at a chapel? |
12454 | Would you like to look at the railway station? |
12454 | _ He_ knew, of course; but what could a stranger identify in that earth- shaking passage of thirty thousand? |
12454 | _ Why_ did n''t we realize?" |
12454 | to its dogs; or met, in a forest, a procession of perfectly new big guns, apparently taking themselves from the foundry to the front? |
16868 | Mr Brown here? |
16868 | Ye-- e-- s,sleepily,"what the devil do you want?" |
16868 | And the chateau itself? |
16868 | Are not the flower of the young cut off in the spring of their youth?" |
16868 | Are they defeated? |
16868 | Do you know what I long for more than anything else? |
16868 | Had the multitudinous Anglo- German societies at Oxford worked in vain? |
16868 | Had we heard that the Germans were at Compiègne, ten miles or so over the hill? |
16868 | Have you anything to say?" |
16868 | He started shouting, as men will--"What does it matter what I sell, what I receive? |
16868 | I wonder if you realise at home what the Frontier meant to us at first? |
16868 | I wonder what difference you will find in us when we come home---- Do you know what a night scare is? |
16868 | In his best French--"Avez- vous pommes- de- terre à vendre?" |
16868 | Is it not a monstrous cemetery? |
16868 | MY DEAR ROBERT,-- Do you remember how in the old days we used to talk about my first book? |
16868 | On we rode by La Couture to Estaires, where we dined, and so to St Jans Cappel.... Do you know what the Line means? |
16868 | She shook her head--"How can the good God look down without a tear on the miseries of his people? |
16868 | She wept bitterly and loudly,"Ah, my baby, what will they do to us? |
16868 | Silly fool, wanted to have a look round-- Full of buck? |
16868 | Sounds simple? |
16868 | Still something was wrong, and Huggie, who had been smiling at my puzzled face, said gently in an off- hand way--"Seen the church?" |
16868 | The old man turned round, smiled, and replied in broadest Yorkshire,"Wanting any''taters?" |
16868 | Was it a heavy attack on our lines? |
16868 | Was it safe to go on into Béthisy? |
16868 | What does it matter, for have I not to leave all this?" |
16868 | Who are these fussy fellows with badges on their arms? |
16868 | Why are the English retreating? |
16868 | Will the dirty Germans pass by here? |
16868 | Yes, it was a pretty fair scrap-- Smith? |
16868 | You remember, too, the room? |
16588 | Where is her mother? |
16588 | ''Could it be fixed up for this afternoon, I have brought the body down?'' |
16588 | ''Did you hear that one, Bill?'' |
16588 | ''Me mates? |
16588 | ''Well, it does give you a bit of a headache, you know,''he replied;''have you got a fag?'' |
16588 | ''What are you doing with that stove?'' |
16588 | 1 Rest(?) |
16588 | Are all so strong that they can dispense with guidance, or so pure that sin ceases to allure? |
16588 | As he passed, the General acknowledged the reluctant turn of his head by way of salute, and then asked,''Where are you going, my man?'' |
16588 | Can this have been a Paradise before, Now up- blown, blasted, drear and desolate? |
16588 | From different parts of the building the same query was advanced:''Are you all right?'' |
16588 | Is it Christ- like to condemn those whose actions are called into question? |
16588 | Is it right that all should be condemned because of the capricious behaviour of an infinitesimal section? |
16588 | The accommodation provided was fairly comfortable, though the carriages(?) |
16588 | The officers stopped, and one of them peremptorily inquired,''Are n''t you a soldier?'' |
16588 | The usual question of the sleepless individual is''Where did that one land?'' |
16588 | Their query is not''Are you a member of a certain religious organization?'' |
16588 | Troops were forbidden to enter houses under any pretence whatever; but very occasionally men lost their way, and unwittingly(?) |
16588 | W''ere is my mates?'' |
16588 | What of the future? |
16588 | Without abating his speed he called out,''Do you think that I want to drop dead in that blimey mud?'' |
16588 | [ Illustration:''Did you hear that one, Bill?''] |
16588 | [ Illustration:''Where are you going, my man?'' |
16588 | but''Are you a member of_ The Church_?'' |
16588 | this one?'' |
17918 | _ A._--How? 17918 ''Is there really one here? 17918 1._--How do you find time to write so much? 17918 2._--Is a dug- out a hidden structure covered with sand- bags where you only sleep, and are there such luxuries as beds? 17918 4._--In the battles you have been in, did you come face to face with the Huns, or just shoot at range? 17918 5._--How do you get posts-- are carriers in danger? 17918 6._--Do you get acquainted with French civilians, and have you picked up any of their language? 17918 7._--When one series of trenches is built, how does the enemy get a chance to build close to them? 17918 8._--Do you have any fear of air raids over the trenches? 17918 9._--What about gas? 17918 And yet, what was my duty? 17918 Are you a Londoner?'' 17918 But who am I, and of what account am I, in the scheme of things? 17918 Can I see the end, as He can? 17918 Can I understand the infinite thought of God? 17918 Hallo, thinks I, what am I wanted for? 17918 I clambered out of the carriage prepared to rush to the Bakerloo, when a voice at my elbow asked,''Is there anything I can do for you? 17918 I lifted him up and said,''Did you catch it?'' 17918 I wonder if it has ever occurred to them how much their presence meant to us boys? 17918 I wonder what they will put me into? 17918 Is n''t it wonderful how many sorrows the British army can drown in a cup of tea? 17918 Nice occupation, was n''t it? 17918 The Padre just says,''Well, boys what shall we have?'' 17918 The chaps said to me,''Of course_ you_ are going, Baxter?'' 17918 The favourites are''John Peel,''''Cock Robin,''''Oh, who will o''er the downs so free?'' 17918 To fight-- or to stay and look after our little home? 17918 We rarely see a civilian, and when we do we say,''Avez vous du pain?'' 17918 What man who has not been through it can even dimly imagine the after- effect of continuous bombardment and heavy shelling? 17918 What words, then, have I? 17918 Will any of those ladies read these lines? 17918 Will you look at him-- afterwards? 17918 Will you picture to yourself this sightless young man, with torn head and shattered hand piteously struggling from those shambles? 17918 and I answered,''Why not?'' 17918 and the reply is generally''How many do you want?'' 2651 At this General Grant remarked:Did he say so? |
2651 | I presume that some one said to the Governor about this time,"Why do n''t you get Sheridan?" |
2651 | This feature was more than acceptable to the parents at times, for how else could they so thoroughly learn all the neighborhood gossip? |
2651 | Where are you?" |
27259 | We were once more to be on land and what person would not be happy over this thought after so long a voyage over the great waters of the Pacific? |
26879 | Does what? |
26879 | Is this war? |
26879 | But who can account for the fortunes of war? |
26879 | How many artillery officers laughed at the suggestion that a day was coming when thousands of great guns would be directed from the air? |
26879 | What would the past generation have said of a man who had prophesied great armies fighting in the air? |
11641 | And drinking? |
11641 | And how did you yourself get on? |
11641 | And the other interred-- the dead? |
11641 | Anybody in there? |
11641 | But about eating? |
11641 | But where did you sleep? |
11641 | But where? |
11641 | Did you yourself see any Germans? |
11641 | How many? |
11641 | How were they deceived? |
11641 | Is this really the first- line trench? |
11641 | Was there a cottage here? |
11641 | What do you call your dog? |
11641 | What dost thou want? |
11641 | What is this? |
11641 | What would you? |
11641 | What''s the name of the street? |
11641 | Where? |
11641 | ( Needless to say that the regiment had come during the night from a long spell of the trenches-- but what trenches?) |
11641 | A little further on we might hear an officer speaking somewhat ardently into a telephone:"What are they doing with that gun? |
11641 | And again she said, speaking of the fearful days in September 1914:"What would you? |
11641 | And, even if by chance they do, for what reason has that particular patch been selected? |
11641 | As we were parting he said:"Well, what do you think of our''trenches''?" |
11641 | But what are you to do? |
11641 | Do I not tell you one was obliged to stand up? |
11641 | Do they hate them, veritably? |
11641 | Had one any desire to go to bed? |
11641 | How long do you think the war will last?" |
11641 | Sincerely-- do they hate the Germans in England? |
11641 | The inevitable thought was:"Is it possible that so much killing has been done for such trifling specks of earth?" |
11641 | Was she locking it against shells, or against burglars? |
11641 | What do you say?" |
11641 | What influence could its destruction have on the mighty course of the struggle? |
11641 | What was the part of that regiment in the gigantic tactics of Joffre? |
11641 | What would you?" |
26930 | Halt,cried the sentry,"who goes there?" |
26930 | But what is taking place on the right of us? |
26930 | He said"What is your name my lad?" |
26930 | I wonder if Fritz''s planes would wait? |
26930 | When we reached this village the very first thing we had to do was to shave and clean up, for were we not the best unit in France? |
13279 | Darby,he sighed hopelessly,"wot th''blinkin''''ell do you think is up now?" |
13279 | What the dickens can this be? |
13279 | Yer blinkin''''igh wif yer wants, ayen''t ye? 13279 ''Ow''d''e git loose? |
13279 | And then, having gotten filled up with the long- denied oxygen, I asked,"Where''s the others?" |
13279 | Ayen''t there no trouble t''''ome?" |
13279 | Breeks on a Scotchman? |
13279 | Did that muddy old trench look good when we tumbled in? |
13279 | Do n''t you just love to hike?" |
13279 | Do yer call that a loaf o''bread? |
13279 | Fightin''fer wot? |
13279 | Gimme another, will yer, corporal?" |
13279 | I turned to Bonesie and said,"What about that safety stuff, old top?" |
13279 | Instead he looked me over with unqualified scorn and spat out,"Yank, ayen''t ye?" |
13279 | Is it right, I arsks yer? |
13279 | Is it right? |
13279 | Is it?" |
13279 | Is it?" |
13279 | It seems that after Issy had been fixed up, the surgeon turned to Bealer and said:"What''s the matter with you?" |
13279 | It was very early in the morning when Wells shook me up with,"Hi sye, Darby, wot the blinkin''blazes is that noise?" |
13279 | One of them would slyly say,"Darby,''oo th''blinkin''''ell was this blighter, General Grant?" |
13279 | One who spoke English said in a quavering voice:"Gott in Himmel, Kamarad, how could one endure? |
13279 | Rest, did I say? |
13279 | The question uppermost in his mind every time and all of the time, is,"When do we eat?" |
13279 | What is it? |
13279 | What is it?" |
13279 | What''s wrong?" |
13279 | Where from?" |
13279 | Wot are we fightin''for? |
13279 | Wot th''bloody''ell are you in this bloomin''row for? |
13279 | Wot''d th''Belgiums hever do fer us? |
13279 | Wot''d th''Rooshians hever do fer us? |
13279 | Wot''ll Hi do wif''i m?" |
13279 | Wot''s th''good of hanybody but th''Henglish? |
13279 | Wot''s th''good of th''Frenchies? |
13279 | Wot, I arsks yer? |
13279 | Wot? |
27293 | And do the devils dare to treat with neglect and contempt that little corps of gallant men who saved them from despair and slavery? |
27293 | Will any such honorable testimony be erected to the memory of our departed heroes?" |
2652 | 9:45 p.m."LIEUTENANT- GENERAL GRANT:"Would it not be well for Warren to go down with his whole corps and smash up the force in front of Sheridan? |
2652 | As I drew up by the party, Bismarck accosted me with,"Well, General, are n''t you hungry? |
2652 | Could not your cavalry go back by the way of Stony Creek depot and destroy or capture the store of supplies there? |
2652 | Have any more troops arrived from Richmond, or are any more coming, or reported to be coming? |
2652 | He remaining mounted, spoke first to me, saying simply,"How are you, Sheridan?" |
2652 | I assured him with thanks that I was"first- rate,"when, pointing toward the village, he asked,"Is General Lee up there?" |
2652 | Offering the flask to his uncle, he said:"You''ve had a hard day of it; wo n''t you refresh yourself?" |
19074 | Do you appreciate,he asked,"that on three miles of that ridge a million men--400,000 French and 600,000 Germans-- have already fallen?" |
19074 | Do you see that little black speck on the snow at the very top? |
19074 | Ostend? |
19074 | To what regiment do you belong? |
19074 | We are in Austria now, I suppose? |
19074 | Which do you consider the best gun? |
19074 | Who ever heard of a machine- gun being called upon to fire two thousand rounds under actual service conditions? |
19074 | Will we need them? |
19074 | You do n''t mean to tell me that you can photograph a telephone- wire from a mile in the air? |
19074 | ( Did you know that during an intense bombardment the springs of the guns will last only two days?) |
19074 | A moment later he added:"The poor devil looked pretty cold, though, did n''t he?" |
19074 | A strange reversal of history, is it not? |
19074 | And when I came back they greeted me with"You did n''t see much, did you?" |
19074 | But what burned them? |
19074 | But you ca n''t blame them, can you? |
19074 | Did you know that the British have laid and are operating more than a thousand miles of new railway in France? |
19074 | Do you see that square?" |
19074 | How can he know that what he takes to be a farmstead is but a piece of painted canvas concealing a small mountain of potential death? |
19074 | How far may Serbia come? |
19074 | How far will Italy be permitted to go? |
19074 | How would you feel then, Mr. American? |
19074 | I would go to Verdun? |
19074 | Is Hungary to become an independent kingdom? |
19074 | Is Montenegro to disappear? |
19074 | Laden with what? |
19074 | O Death, where is thy sting- a- ling- a- ling, O Grave thy victoree? |
19074 | Shall Austria be cut off from the sea? |
19074 | They were dog- tired, dirty, caked with mud and blood, but they grinned at us cheerfully-- for were they not beating the Austrians? |
19074 | What is Greece to get? |
19074 | Why did it sink so deeply? |
19074 | Why were the wheel- ruts shown on the plate so black? |
19074 | Would you care to go out to it?" |
19074 | You question this? |
19074 | and"What are the Italians doing, anyway?" |
14086 | ( By the way, did I tell you that I had been made Right Section Commander?) |
14086 | After death is there only nothingness? |
14086 | Am I really in jeopardy myself? |
14086 | Am I really killing men day by day? |
14086 | And I am wishing-- As I wish, I stop and ask myself,"Would I be there if I could have my choice?" |
14086 | And was I really the budding novelist in New York? |
14086 | Can it be true that I am here and you are in the still aloofness of the Rockies? |
14086 | Can you dimly picture me with my groom, followed by a mess- cart, going from stall to stall and bartering with the peasants? |
14086 | Confess-- aren''t you more honestly happy to be our father as we are now than as we were? |
14086 | D''you remember the birthday three years ago when we set the victrola going outside your room door? |
14086 | Do n''t you wish I had caught some quite harmless sickness? |
14086 | Do you remember Captain S. at the Camp? |
14086 | Do you remember how you once offered me money to walk through the Forest of Dean after dark, and I would n''t? |
14086 | Do you set the victrola going now- a- days? |
14086 | Do you want any German souvenirs? |
14086 | Does one see more truly life''s worth on a battlefield? |
14086 | For myself I try to analyse my emotions; am I simply numb, or do I imitate other people''s coolness and shall I fear life again when the war is ended? |
14086 | Have I mentioned rum to you? |
14086 | Have you seen Lloyd George''s great speech? |
14086 | I wonder what we''ll want to do most-- sit quiet or go to theatres? |
14086 | Is n''t it a funny change from comfortable breakfasts, press notices and a blazing fire? |
14086 | Is the contempt that is hourly shown for life the real standard of life''s worth? |
14086 | My Dearest Mother: Are n''t the papers good reading now- a- days with nothing to record but success? |
14086 | My birthday comes round soon, does n''t it? |
14086 | Now that I''m in touch with you all again, it''s almost like saying"How- do?" |
14086 | Perhaps the war may be ended and then wo n''t you be glad that we dared all this sorrow of good- byes? |
14086 | Shall I see you standing on the station when I puff into London-- or will it be Folkestone where we meet-- or shall I arrive before you? |
14086 | Shall we dream of our old life''s passion,-- To toil for our heart''s desire, Whose souls War has taken to fashion With molten death and with fire? |
14086 | That''s what we''re all doing, is n''t it-- you at your end and we at ours? |
14086 | Was it M.''s cross the other night that accounted for my luck? |
14086 | Was it imagination? |
14086 | What are you to say to such men? |
14086 | What do you think of the Kaiser''s absurd peace proposals? |
14086 | What has happened to me? |
14086 | Where does the soul go in sleep? |
14086 | Where will our meeting be and when? |
14086 | Wo n''t we have a time? |
14086 | Would n''t it be good, instead of sitting in a Hun dug- out? |
22067 | If you are a commissioned officer,Shoemaker replied,"why are you here, working at a gun?" |
22067 | Staying all night? 22067 What was that,''General''?" |
22067 | What,I asked myself,"are ghosts abroad, and in such a place? |
22067 | 3 was, shout,"Ned Moore, where is that priming- wire?" |
22067 | As I held aside the limb of a tree in his way, near our gun, he extended his hand and, as he gave me a hearty shake, said,"How do you do, Edward?" |
22067 | Bob Lee came creeping up from his gun in the ravine, and called to me,"Ned, that is n''t making batter- cakes, is it?" |
22067 | But he called out,"Where is my partner?" |
22067 | But, as the thing met me, a voice cried out,"Is that you, Ned? |
22067 | Do you think your men can stand it?" |
22067 | First,"Can this horse carry two?" |
22067 | He drew back, startled at my question,"What do you want?" |
22067 | He replied she was, and waited as if inclined to ask,"What business is that of yours?" |
22067 | Hear those Minies?" |
22067 | I could not believe it to be the vanguard of Hunter''s army, but what on earth could it be? |
22067 | I drew rein, but thought,"How can I help him? |
22067 | I then said,''General, are you going to send us in again?'' |
22067 | I told him my predicament and asked,"Shall I get in and get it?" |
22067 | Is Gettysburg giving up her dead so soon?" |
22067 | Is that you, Marse Eddie? |
22067 | Is that you? |
22067 | My dinner was to be sent by a boy named Phil, so I said,"Is that you, Phil?" |
22067 | On Friday who would serve such repast, Except an unchristianlike glutton?'' |
10972 | In destroying the landlord and capitalist are not the Russian proletariat merely taking back its own property? |
10972 | Surely it is less unjust to allow the many to continue to rob the few? |
10972 | What did the general then do? |
10972 | What if the Czech commanders made the demand? |
10972 | Who ever heard of mosquitoes in Siberia? |
10972 | Why should we allow law to be re- established, which was always used by the few to rob the many? |
10972 | --rarely, if ever,"How will it affect the country?" |
10972 | A straight- forward recognition of the Omsk Government would have been an honest hand for honest work, but where would Allied diplomacy have come in? |
10972 | And if it did, who could guarantee a friendly reception? |
10972 | Are they moral, military, or political? |
10972 | Did the Japanese give"line clear"throughout? |
10972 | Every man looks at every order from the personal point of view--"How will this affect me?" |
10972 | Has this no longer any place in the political curriculum of the Allied Powers? |
10972 | I answer that by asking:"How did a one- man government exist in Russia from''Ivan the Terrible''to Nicholas II?" |
10972 | I grant all these things; but what about honour? |
10972 | I was asked:"Would you take God from His place over this work?" |
10972 | I wonder how that will pan out? |
10972 | Quartermaster- Captain Boulton put it to one prisoner:"But suppose Germany were defeated?" |
10972 | The question now to be solved was: What attitude would the anarchist adopt to this new evangelism? |
10972 | This great people can do almost anything, but even they can not live without a head, and the question was, how was some sort of head to be provided? |
10972 | What are these hidden objects? |
10972 | Who would think of taking a military force over six thousand miles from its base through a partially hostile country? |
10972 | Why are the churches of the world so hostile to the popular education of the people? |
10972 | Why? |
10972 | Would I defend the Ministers who were still in session if they were attacked? |
10972 | Would it get through the many dangers and difficulties it was certain to encounter on the way? |
10972 | Would you give them up?" |
10972 | and if not, how could a ghastly disaster be avoided? |
18390 | And what have we to fear now? |
18390 | And what if some of us do pass over before this struggle is ended-- what is there in that? 18390 Anything new, Fritz?" |
18390 | Are you hit, sir? |
18390 | Are you the Scottish Horse? |
18390 | Hey, mate,it said,"is this the track to the races?" |
18390 | How long do you think it would take a New Zealander to chop down a tree like that? |
18390 | Is n''t Australians good enough? |
18390 | Is n''t it the most wonderful thing that could ever have happened? |
18390 | Room in here? |
18390 | That''s not one of their 5.9''s, surely? |
18390 | Was you hit? |
18390 | What they want to get us stuck in this flaming mud- hole for? |
18390 | Which is the way to our tents, Bill? |
18390 | Why did n''t it strike old Brassribs to make the inhabitants do a job of work occasionally? |
18390 | You call us just Australians and New Zealanders, do n''t you? |
18390 | And is n''t that the very thing that has happened? |
18390 | And now when they stood on the brink of the last great sacrifice, could he not seize upon those truths--? |
18390 | As one of the best of their officers said to me,"I have to walk about as if I liked it-- what else can you do when your own men teach you to?" |
18390 | But if such an offensive ever does happen, have the British people any idea of its difficulties? |
18390 | But what are we going to do for them? |
18390 | CHAPTER XXXIII WHY HE IS NOT"THE ANZAC"_ France, November 28th._"You do n''t call us the Anzacs, do you?" |
18390 | Could it be about her that these personages of the ocean were calling one to another? |
18390 | If it were not for the dear ones whom he leaves behind him, might n''t a man almost pray for a death like that? |
18390 | Little was hit, was n''t he?" |
18390 | Of the men whom you find there, what can one say? |
18390 | The chief anxiety in the mind of the soldier is-- have we got the guns and the shells-- can we keep ahead of them with guns and our ammunition? |
18390 | The result was an immediate message posted on the German trenches,"Once more would you let us see the message?" |
18390 | What can we do for him? |
18390 | What could we do?" |
18390 | Who would have thought that scene believable two years before? |
18390 | Yet the people are still there-- it is their home, and why should they leave it? |
23747 | The ammunition wagons? |
23747 | Why did you keep the story until the bridge was burnt? |
23747 | Accepting the harshest conditions and faithfully observing them, they have struggled in all honorable ways, and for what? |
23747 | And how can they live through the winter in the woods?" |
23747 | Dining with Toombs in New York just after the event, he said to me:"Seen the story about old Cassius Clay? |
23747 | For their slaves? |
23747 | Jackson joined me, and, in response to my question,"Where is the cavalry?" |
23747 | May we not well ask whether religion, education, science and art combined have lessened the brutality of man since the days of Wallenstein and Tilly? |
23747 | One of my officers has already been asked''If we would not burn our gunboats as soon as the army left?'' |
23747 | Others say,''What are we to do? |
23747 | Some say,''I have such a one sick at my house; who will wait on them when I am gone?'' |
23747 | The President listened attentively to this, and asked,"What then?" |
23747 | This being so, how is it possible for the people still here, mostly women and children, to find shelter? |
23747 | Were the Federals in possession of the road? |
23747 | What do you suppose President Davis made me a major- general for?" |
23747 | Where are our legions?" |
23533 | Did you see the English? |
23533 | Gehen die Schottländer wirklich mit nackten Beinen in die Schlacht? |
23533 | Ist Namur belgisch oder französisch? |
23533 | Wie lange wird es ungefähr dauern, bis die Deutschen Paris eingenommen haben? |
23533 | With the French? |
23533 | Your passport? |
23533 | ''How ridiculous?'' |
23533 | ''What does she do ridiculous, I should like to know?'' |
23533 | ( Do the Highlanders really go into battle with naked legs?) |
23533 | ( How long will it be before the Germans have taken Paris?) |
23533 | ( Is Namur Belgian or French?) |
23533 | A young clerk, pale with excitement and anger, in reply to my question:"Gibt es etwas neues?" |
23533 | After this who shall dare say that women have the monopoly of vanity? |
23533 | Did we come here to enjoy ourselves, or what?" |
23533 | He had a long paper in his hand, and read out our names;"Hamilton?" |
23533 | I am so sick of"Heil Dir i m Sieger Kranz"that as the children pass my villa shouting it or"Was ist des Deutschen Vaterland?" |
23533 | I ask you what chance of escape a poor_ Junggeselle_ has? |
23533 | Is it best for me to let these cursed Germans make an end of me, or live to cook another day for my country?" |
23533 | Now, we''d heard of Paris and Cologne, and Heidelberg, and Baden, and Dresden, and Berlin, and Hamburg, but we do n''t know now how they come-- see? |
23533 | When he found German bullets whizzing about him at Mülhausen, he said to himself( so the story goes),"What is my duty? |
23533 | Who that has seen can forget the last exposition in 1891? |
23533 | warum kommst du mir immer in den Weg?_''(''Oh, you stupid cow, why will you always get in my way?'') |
23533 | warum kommst du mir immer in den Weg?_''(''Oh, you stupid cow, why will you always get in my way?'') |
17316 | And he asks himself the anxious question,''Is it even sure that moral effort bears any fruit?'' |
17316 | And what can I say of this Nature? |
17316 | Are they not friends of ours? |
17316 | Are we to speak of him in the present tense or in the past? |
17316 | Are you bombarded by the frightful aeroplanes? |
17316 | But how shall I ever tell of the certainties this tempest has made clear to me? |
17316 | Can I say that it is even something different from the immense joy of our meeting again? |
17316 | Can any one describe the grace of winter trees? |
17316 | Dear mother, how shall I ever speak of the unspeakable things I have had to see? |
17316 | Dear, have you this beautiful sun to- day? |
17316 | Did I already tell you what Anatole France says in the_ Mannequin d''Osier_? |
17316 | Did I tell you that I learnt from the papers of the death of Hillemacher? |
17316 | Did you get my photograph? |
17316 | Do they not walk with us in those blessed solitudes wherein our truest self awakens, and where our thoughts flow free? |
17316 | For whom, and for what age? |
17316 | Have we not made the genius of those two ours by understanding them as we understand them, and by so taking them into our hearts? |
17316 | How can I explain to you the chiselled effect, allied to the dream- like mists, with the moon soaring above? |
17316 | How can things be so horrible? |
17316 | How do we know that this violence and disorder are not leading the universal destinies towards a final good? |
17316 | How is it possible to think of Schumann as a barbarian? |
17316 | In what? |
17316 | Is André''s wound serious? |
17316 | My corporal, who, like me, was dodging from bush to bush back to our house, said:''Do you know what that star is? |
17316 | Shall it be counted a crime against them that they were Germans? |
17316 | Shall we have to bear the shock again? |
17316 | Sometimes I am afraid of always saying the same thing, but how can I find new words for my poor love, tossed always through the same vicissitudes? |
17316 | Suppose one comes to skirt a precipice? |
17316 | True, he does not attain his end, but is he wiser who remains motionless under the pretext that he might fall? |
17316 | What does it matter if Providence does not allow me to bring it to light? |
17316 | What if sacrifice itself were also a delusion? |
17316 | What shall I say to you on this strange January afternoon, when thunder is followed by snow? |
17316 | What shall I tell you of my life? |
17316 | Who will say that the rough peasant, comrade of the fallen thinker, will not be the inheritor of his thoughts? |
17316 | Why am I so sacrificed, when so many others, not my equals, are spared? |
17316 | Why am I so sacrificed, when so many others, not my equals, are spared? |
17316 | Will they be followed by others? |
17316 | Yet is it even sure that moral effort bears any fruit? |
22655 | How can you keep your faith in humanity? 22655 How madly busy all the little people are, bussing over the planet, and for what? |
22655 | Where can I read something holding your point of view which would be more within my range of understanding than Hegel? 22655 And must one struggle through a peppery sequence of years just to know this? |
22655 | Beauty is truthfulness of what? |
22655 | Can beautiful be applied to whatever pleases? |
22655 | Did I tell you how we all slept in a row with the old tartar and his wife and child?" |
22655 | Did I tell you that the Consulate was in several places shattered by shells? |
22655 | Do n''t you think that is an undertaking? |
22655 | Do you know the''Melee''of Victor Hugo? |
22655 | How did I happen to fall on it?" |
22655 | How does one live now? |
22655 | How will I even put my whole self into one thing? |
22655 | How will it all affect the necessary routine of life?" |
22655 | I shall have learned a lot of things when I die-- and all for what?" |
22655 | I wonder how much I fool myself? |
22655 | If I am attracted to some puritanical offspring-- some representative of the progressing(?) |
22655 | Is beautiful something or is it not? |
22655 | Is beauty independent of taste? |
22655 | Is n''t it awful about the priest being hung in Adrianople? |
22655 | Oh, what is it all about?" |
22655 | So much of humanity, whatever it looks like or however cannily it has devised to exist, has not begun, and why have such a respect for numbers? |
22655 | This, following my last sentence, is charmingly typical of my character, is it not? |
22655 | Was n''t it nice? |
22655 | What does it matter? |
22655 | What for? |
22655 | What matters externally?" |
22655 | Where will they be next year? |
22655 | Who is going to do away with it all? |
22655 | Why are there such beautiful things, conceptions, possibilities only to be ruined by fatal microbes this human nature puts into it? |
22655 | Why could n''t anything have happened to me that would not have hurt Tibi? |
22655 | Why, oh, why anything?" |
22655 | Wo n''t you bring Tibi and the boys and stay here? |
27229 | ("What are you doing there?"). |
27229 | But then what is one to do? |
27229 | Could it be that the victorious German fleet, of which they had so often heard, was at this very moment bearing down upon us? |
27229 | Did the turnip''s voice deceive the Hun? |
27229 | Had I a sporting chance or were the odds against me too great? |
27229 | I wonder what he would have done had some one enticingly rattled a shilling on a plate? |
27229 | I worked in several tunnels at different times, fitted with air pumps and perhaps even electric light-- who knows? |
27229 | Now what about the Cambrai officer''s question,"Why do you call us Huns?" |
27229 | Should this book in the near future be read in Germany, as I expect it will, would some kind Hun take the trouble to satisfy my curiosity? |
27229 | To what was it due? |
27229 | To what was it due? |
27229 | Towards evening we passed through Hameln? |
27229 | Vaguely I wondered what it could be? |
27229 | Was it possible that they were only heaps of peat? |
27229 | Whereupon he snapped,"What, you say that the commandant''s note is useless? |
27229 | With a sinking heart I slowly made out the letters B-- R-- I-- E. Was it necessary to read any further? |
27229 | _ Why, indeed?_ The German captain nearly always took roll call. |
29927 | Who are you? |
29927 | The first cry from the ship was"How is City getting on?" |
29927 | They tracked cleverly across the moor, and were met by an eager Australian with the question:"Have you brought the water, cobbers?" |
29927 | To the call:"Who are you?" |
29927 | What have become of like devices that were once deep cut on the scarped cliff of Bruce''s Ravine on Gallipoli? |
29927 | When are you going to do your bit?" |
29927 | Who would wish for more romantic trophies? |
29045 | All well, H----? |
29045 | Do n''t you know? |
29045 | Nevair mind, I speak bloody good English,and then amidst our whoops of applause she demanded"It ees good? |
29045 | Qu''est- ce que vous voulez? |
29045 | Why did you not tell me? |
29045 | A tailor''s agent had somehow made his way into that sanctuary, and voices were demanding"Who can lend me a blank cheque?" |
29045 | And as for chivalry, how can it live in the midst of machine- guns, asphyxiating gases, and liquid flames? |
29045 | And the neutral nations-- what of them? |
29045 | Are they not after all"accessories after the fact"and equally guilty? |
28981 | Five devils,said Saunders;"What is it for?" |
28981 | I told him that they were nearly so, and added,"I suppose they wo''n''t be wanted, at all events, before to- morrow?" |
28981 | Meeting one, next morning, a very little fellow, I asked what had happened to them yesterday? |
28981 | The marine officer, looking down, with some astonishment, demanded,"d-- n you, sir, who are you?" |
28981 | The usual salutation on meeting an acquaintance of another regiment after an action was to ask who had been hit? |
28981 | but on this occasion it was"Who''s alive?" |
28981 | to which the head and shoulders immediately rejoined,"and d-- n and b-- t you, sir, who are you?" |
30011 | Where were you? 30011 And what was the thanks I got for having sailed around over the enemy''s lines for over two and a half hours? 30011 Are you crazy? 30011 But what can you do in such a case, in the air? 30011 What have you been doing? 17813 ''What the d----s the use of detailing unmounted officers for the job?'' |
17813 | ''Who? 17813 After orders, Colonel Best- Dunkley asked me:''What is your strong point?'' |
17813 | How is Lord Rhondda going on as Food Controller? 17813 What about Holland? |
17813 | Which gate did you come in at? |
17813 | Would you mind sending me a Lancashire Fusilier cap badge? 17813 ''Is that you, Floyd? 17813 ''Well, do you think those helmets were worth the life of one man and injury to four others?'' 17813 ''What? 17813 ''Where is the Battalion?'' 17813 ''Will you take my sentence? 17813 Are things any better than they were under Devonport? 17813 Are you pleased to hear that Churchill is in office again?'' 17813 Could you possibly imagine what it was like? 17813 Did it occur to us that within twenty- four hours we should all be scattered to the winds-- some killed, others wounded? 17813 Do n''t you think I am really exceedingly lucky? 17813 Had he any presentiment or intention as to the future himself? 17813 He has not been there long, has he? 17813 His greeting to Verity when he arrived a month ago was:''Who the d---- are you?'' 17813 How are you going on?'' 17813 How are you?'' 17813 How long had I been gazetted? 17813 How long had I been in the Army? 17813 How long is it going to last?'' 17813 I always said that I would be in at the finish whether that finish happens to be in Belgium, on the Rhine, or in Palestine, did n''t I? |
17813 | If we can fraternize so speedily on the battlefield, why can not those who are not shooting each other also fraternize? |
17813 | Is the news of the raid yet in the papers? |
17813 | It is funny, is n''t it? |
17813 | Now the question which arises is: What was its object? |
17813 | Or will you have a court martial?'' |
17813 | So what will happen? |
17813 | So what will it become as the days roll on? |
17813 | The question is-- how long shall I remain on good terms with him? |
17813 | We kept asking everybody we passed whether they had''seen any L.F.''s?'' |
17813 | What do you say? |
17813 | What is there to worry about? |
17813 | What the b---- h---- do you mean by it? |
17813 | What unit was I in before? |
17813 | What''s the use of worrying? |
17813 | When I entered the mess for breakfast I was greeted by the inquiry from Captain Andrews:''How''s Palestine?'' |
17813 | When he arrived at the Orderly Room he saw me and said:"''Who are you? |
17813 | Where had I been educated? |
17813 | Why should not the public be allowed to laugh with us? |
17813 | You call that a Battalion? |
17813 | You understand that, Floyd?'' |
17813 | _ The_ C.O.--Colonel Best- Dunkley?'' |
17813 | because Sir Douglas Haig considers us the best brigade in the Division, and that if we could not stick Saturday what would we do then? |
17813 | like that?'' |
13777 | What did I say? |
13777 | What was Rhodes doing in Germany for twelve months,he cried,"tell me that?" |
13777 | All this would have been entertaining, even exciting,_ before_ Magersfontein; but after? |
13777 | And how were we prepared to meet the attentions of this well- equipped and watchful enemy? |
13777 | And where all this time, it may be asked, where was Long Cecil? |
13777 | As one of the Pitts( was it one of the Pitts?) |
13777 | But would they do so; would they screw their courage to the sticking point? |
13777 | Could it be, was it conceivable that Methuen had been worsted at Magersfontein? |
13777 | Could such an interference with the freedom of the subject be brooked for five minutes? |
13777 | Did not the Colonel represent the Queen? |
13777 | Did they realise its gravity? |
13777 | Had not the"black"an"equal right"to quench his thirst? |
13777 | How long would the Siege last? |
13777 | How many more were to follow? |
13777 | How was it all going to end? |
13777 | How were we to hold the positions we had sought to get possession of? |
13777 | Of what avail were these against the potent engines of destruction on the other side? |
13777 | Oom Paul, looking on in dismay, enquires:"Where do I come in?" |
13777 | Or how_ into_ Mafeking? |
13777 | People asked, in their indignation, if they really lived in a British Colony? |
13777 | Perhaps it was; but how was the view to be reconciled with our previous positiveness to the contrary? |
13777 | The Colonel heard of it-- what did he not hear? |
13777 | The enterprise displayed was admirable; but-- had we to wait till the vegetables grew? |
13777 | The possibility of forwarding them to their destination was out of the question; how were they to be sent out of Kimberley? |
13777 | Was it a fabrication? |
13777 | Was it the province of a military man to advocate, still less to enforce, temperance? |
13777 | Were facts being witheld? |
13777 | Were they to grow while we waited? |
13777 | What did he want? |
13777 | What did he want? |
13777 | What did it mean? |
13777 | What did the transformation mean? |
13777 | What else on Saturday? |
13777 | Where should they be housed? |
13777 | Where was the Military despotism to stop? |
13777 | Where was the necessary material to come from? |
13777 | Wherefore the need of risking so many lives, at such a moment, with a Column outside, on its way to set us free? |
13777 | Whither would they go? |
13777 | Who could tell? |
13777 | Who could tell? |
13777 | Who knew that the Seventh Division would not follow suit? |
13777 | Who now shall say that hunger is good sauce? |
13777 | Who was Gorle? |
13777 | Who was to tell what the morning might not show? |
13777 | Why did the Military insist on aggravating the enemy? |
13777 | Will they remember that we have fought alone and unaided for four long months? |
13777 | With troops pouring into the country, wherefore the need of so much supererogation? |
13777 | Would it come? |
13777 | Would the"Military Situation"answer whither? |
13777 | all? |
13777 | in a voice of thunder,"who goes there?" |
13777 | what am I saying? |
29263 | He replied;"Yes, has he not relieved you since?" |
29263 | I said,"Were you not with the officer when he placed me on sentry last night?" |
29263 | I said,"Would you like a piece of it?" |
29263 | I went over and he was there threshing, so I said,"Well, friend, do you thresh by the day or the quarter?" |
29263 | On our arriving at the breach, the French sentry on the wall cried out,"Who comes there?" |
29263 | She cried out,"Come in; why do n''t you shave?" |
29263 | Then, noticing my Waterloo medal on my breast, he said,"I see you have been in the battle of Waterloo, sergeant?" |
29263 | What can you advise me for it?" |
29263 | and what are you going to do with all those shoes?" |
28145 | Are you hit, sir? |
28145 | Are you quite sure it has n''t touched the stomach? |
28145 | Dead? 28145 Do n''t you recognise me?" |
28145 | German? 28145 How were you hit?" |
28145 | I think that''s a Blighty one, is n''t it? |
28145 | Is this the support line? |
28145 | What have they done to you? |
28145 | What''s happened to Mr. A----, do you know? |
28145 | What''s wrong with him? |
28145 | Where are you hit? |
28145 | Would you like whisky- and- soda, or beer, or lemonade? |
28145 | Abdominal wound? |
28145 | After a time he said--"Is your name L----?" |
28145 | Can I stand it any longer? |
28145 | Could n''t want a better morning for an attack, could you?" |
28145 | How are we getting on?" |
28145 | Is n''t the sun fine here? |
28145 | Now, for I still remember it distinctly, my thought was,"Will my name appear in the casualty list under the head of''Killed''or''Wounded''?" |
28145 | Really and truly what was the difference? |
28145 | These were the kind of directions:"Wounded Sergeant? |
28145 | What was the difference between twenty minutes and twenty years? |
28145 | What was time? |
28145 | Where have you caught it?" |
28145 | Would I like to see him? |
10798 | A lot of those poor devils will die? |
10798 | And for what, might I ask? |
10798 | Are you sufficiently wearied? |
10798 | Are you sure you saw it? |
10798 | But in the name of God, man,I said,"why do n''t they call a truce-- both sides-- and put that horror underground?" |
10798 | But the bayonet wounds and the saber wounds? |
10798 | Can not this thing be done more quietly? |
10798 | Did n''t you have a pass to go through the lines? |
10798 | Did you have any losses in the charge? |
10798 | Do these things count in the sum total? 10798 Do you see that man?" |
10798 | Get you? |
10798 | Highly interesting, is it not? 10798 How about them?" |
10798 | How far away are the Germans? |
10798 | Hurt anyone? 10798 I say, what news have you from the front? |
10798 | The British, then-- they must be there by now? |
10798 | This war-- it is a most terrible thing that it should come on Belgium, eh? 10798 Well, if they are Americans, why do n''t they talk the American language then?" |
10798 | What''s the news there? |
10798 | When did he die? |
10798 | Where is he? |
10798 | Where was this? |
10798 | Who killed him? |
10798 | Who wanted to get you? |
10798 | Why all the noise, Herr Lieutenant? |
10798 | You had charge of another execution this morning, did n''t you? |
10798 | You won that lately? |
10798 | A German said to me afterwards:"Why do we win? |
10798 | All goes well, eh? |
10798 | All? |
10798 | Are we giving the Germans a proper''iding all along the line?" |
10798 | Assuredly many innocent ones will suffer then with the guilty; but what else can we do? |
10798 | Bullet wounds? |
10798 | But had anybody been killed? |
10798 | Do you know what my men say? |
10798 | Do you think I shall be permitted to enter Brussels and seek for my two daughters? |
10798 | Had he beheld these things with his own eyes? |
10798 | He said:"We had not our daily victory to- day, eh? |
10798 | Hostile gun butts had splintered her front door; why not a stray bullet or two through her back window? |
10798 | I buy me a swine-- what you call him?--a pork? |
10798 | Is it not so, doctor?" |
10798 | Is not that so?" |
10798 | Shrapnel wounds? |
10798 | So, then, I shall have the pleasure of seeing you in the morning, shall I not? |
10798 | Speaking so low that we could scarcely catch his words, he said in broken English:"M''sieurs, the French are in Brussels, are they not?" |
10798 | Then he added:"Could you tell us, sir,''ow''s the war going? |
10798 | There might be some stupid, angry common soldier, some over- zealous under officer-- you understand me, do you not, gentlemen? |
10798 | To him I put the question:"What have you done, now, to merit the bestowal of the Cross?" |
10798 | What did he care for the code of war? |
10798 | What do you want to know?" |
10798 | Why should they? |
10798 | Will you buy some postal cards, m''sieur? |
10798 | Wounds from fragments of bombs? |
10798 | Yes? |
10798 | You heard about the case, did n''t you?" |
12068 | ''What regiment do you belong to?'' 12068 Ah, I beg your pardon; but what is your impression of Fort Donelson?" |
12068 | Are you sure of that? |
12068 | Battle sure to come off-- is it? |
12068 | But how is it when a negro, by working nights or Saturdays, manages to make something for himself? |
12068 | Can you tell me on which days he gave you each ticket? |
12068 | Certainly we are,responded another;"but who will represent us?" |
12068 | Come back here,said the officer;"what do you mean by this?" |
12068 | D-- n your friends,said the guerrilla leader;"I suppose they are Yankees?" |
12068 | Did you earn all these this week? |
12068 | Do you dislike the Black Republicans very much? |
12068 | Do you see that young man crossing the street toward----''s store? |
12068 | How did you cross the river, gentlemen? |
12068 | How do you know? |
12068 | How far are you firing? |
12068 | If it was given to them,I asked,"was it not theirs to sell?" |
12068 | Is it possible? |
12068 | Is the plan arranged? |
12068 | No,we responded;"what is it?" |
12068 | That is very true; but how was it at Shiloh? |
12068 | Them round things? 12068 Then why ai n''t you killed, too, you d----d coward?" |
12068 | Then why should n''t you pay me ten dollars every time I''tend upon the black folks on the plantation? |
12068 | What are you doing here? |
12068 | What are you doing there? |
12068 | What kind of a Union man are you? |
12068 | What''s you- uns come down here to fight we- uns for? |
12068 | What_ are_ you crying for, then? |
12068 | Where did you come from? |
12068 | Where is K----, and where is Colburn? |
12068 | Where were they from? |
12068 | Which one did he give you to- day? |
12068 | Whisky, is n''t it? |
12068 | White people are free, too, ai n''t they? |
12068 | Who comes there? |
12068 | Who will we send? 12068 Will some of you learned ones tell me,"said he,"what is the Latin word for_ true_?" |
12068 | After a little preliminary talk, one of them said:"Are you aware, general, there is no law of the State allowing you to make a cut- off, here?" |
12068 | After a pause, she spoke again:"Did n''t you say the black people are free?" |
12068 | After some desultory conversation, he threw out the question:--"What does martial law do?" |
12068 | An Arkansas colonel was in bed when the order reached him, and lazily asked,"Is that official?" |
12068 | As soon as he could speak, he asked, breathing between, the words--"Have you heard the news?" |
12068 | But, pray, what do you consider the capture of Island Number Ten and the naval battle here?" |
12068 | By- the- way, Mr. K----, how did you come over?" |
12068 | Do you think, if I put them with yours, there is any danger of their straying, on account of being on a strange place?" |
12068 | Does any soldier, who reads this, imagine himself tendering his resignation in the above manner with any prospect of its acceptance? |
12068 | He promptly replied:"The parish of Madison gave a large majority in favor of secession; did it not?" |
12068 | If the deeds of which the Rebels were guilty are characteristic of chivalry, who would wish to be a son of the Cavaliers? |
12068 | Is it not acknowledged everywhere that a man shall be tried by his peers?" |
12068 | K----?" |

12068 | Mysteries of Mule- trading.--"What''s in a Name?" |
12068 | Once I asked a rough- looking farmer,"How far is it to Sand Springs?" |
12068 | Should it banish me from that spot, or should I receive an official censure? |
12068 | Who can resist the questions of a woman, even though she be an uneducated and unkempt Missourian? |
12068 | Who could believe in the existence of a reliable countryman, after that? |
31049 | And do not these come of honest ambition? |
31049 | What richer legacy can you hand down? |
11232 | Anything in for me? |
11232 | Are you going to stay here as well? |
11232 | Come and split one at the Faucon d''Or? |
11232 | Had I been seen? |
11232 | Hear what? |
11232 | How about this gun, Corporal-- is everything all right? |
11232 | Hullo, you''re here too, are you? |
11232 | I say, Sentry, which house does Mr. Hudson live in? |
11232 | Locre? 11232 Topping about our brigade, is n''t it?" |
11232 | We shall be very glad to accept your sketch,''Where did that one go to?'' 11232 Well, how are things going with you?" |
11232 | What about going into that house over there and see if there''s a fire? |
11232 | What about my sergeant and those other guns? |
11232 | What have I got to do? |
11232 | What''s on beyond Locre? |
11232 | What''s this about leave? |
11232 | What''s topping? |
11232 | What? |
11232 | When do you want it moved, sir? |
11232 | Where are you going''B.B.''? |
11232 | Where are you living, Bairnsfather? |
11232 | Where is he? |
11232 | Where''s that right- hand gun of yours, Bairnsfather? |
11232 | Where''s the corporal? |
11232 | Where? |
11232 | You know what to do here, Corporal? |
11232 | ''oo goes there?" |
11232 | --THE FIRST FRAGMENT DISPATCHED-- THE EXODUS-- WHERE? |
11232 | --The First Fragment dispatched-- The exodus-- Where? |
11232 | A hole in the floor, a three- legged chair, and brown paper pushed into the largest of the holes in the walls-- what more could a man want? |
11232 | A lurid thing in gendarmes advanced upon me, and I let off one of my curtailed French sentences at him:"Pour Bléville, Monsieur?" |
11232 | A sentence which must have been said countless times in this war,_ i.e._,"Where did that one go?" |
11232 | Ah, yes; and what''s beyond Locre?" |

11232 | CHAPTER XXII A daylight stalk-- The disused trench--"Did they see me?" |
11232 | Every one then thought of only one thing-- where were we going? |
11232 | Everybody to stop and say,"What was that?" |
11232 | Have a bit of cake?" |
11232 | Hudson?" |
11232 | I squeezed out the same old sentence:"Pour Bléville, Monsieur?" |
11232 | No sandbags to spare, of course, so the question was,"What shall we make a parapet of?" |
11232 | The Tin- opener"They''re devils to snipe, ai n''t they, Bill?" |
11232 | There''s a''ell of a draught in''ere"A Memory of Christmas, 1914 The Sentry A Messines Memory:"''Ow about shiftin''a bit further down the road, Fred?" |

11232 | What could be up now? |
11232 | What paper should I send it to? |
11232 | Where were we going to? |
11232 | Why were we going before our time? |

28060 | Anything doing up at the front? |
28060 | Captain,said the Major,"how are your men dressed?" |
28060 | Do they still have their summer underwear? |
28060 | Hello, Mr. Y- Man, do n''t you want to see a fellow that has three holes through him and still going strong? |
28060 | How do you stay here and keep sane? |
28060 | How many prisoners did you have? |
28060 | THE AMERICAN DEAD"Will we be able to locate the body of our boy? |
28060 | Were they allowed to keep any of their belongings? |
28060 | You do n''t really mean it, do you? 28060 _ Who Goes There?_""A friend with the countersign." |
28060 | After the hisses had died down some one asked,"Why is it you want to study German rather than French?" |
28060 | Ca n''t you get some action?" |
28060 | In all this is there not more than a hint for the Church of to- morrow? |
28060 | Major Hazlett was instantly aroused:"What is the matter with your voice?" |
28060 | One of the nurses said,"Have you seen Tony in Ward N? |
28060 | Was a swift and merciful bullet sufficient revenge, or should he wait and give his foe that which he so much feared, the cold steel? |
28060 | What is the story of the morality of the American army during the struggle just ended? |
28060 | When in answer to the requests,"Ca n''t you sell us a cake of chocolate or a pack of Camels?" |
28060 | Where would the next American blow be struck? |
28060 | Whose fault is that? |
28060 | Why were our soldiers in this bitter world conflict better and stronger than the soldiers of previous wars? |
28060 | Wo n''t you write her too and tell her that her son has given himself to the Lord Jesus Christ?" |
28060 | Would they get a chance for the"big push"? |

18910 | Where? |
18910 | Who did that? |
18910 | Who said War? |
18910 | 11 P.M.--Just heard a shell burst, first the whistling scream, and then the bang-- wonder where? |
18910 | 11.15.--Just off for----? |
18910 | ; thought I''d better bide a wee, and it was to say"Your train is urgently required; how soon can you start?" |
18910 | A sleepy major has just waked up and said,"Did you hear the shells? |
18910 | Blackguards, are n''t they?" |
18910 | But who could yesterday and to- day? |
18910 | Could anybody go to bed and undress? |
18910 | Did you ever know such luck? |
18910 | He said the Boches are throwing stones across to our men wrapped in paper with messages like this written on them,"Why do n''t you stop the War? |
18910 | I asked the boy how many wounds? |
18910 | I did n''t happen to answer for a minute, and in a changed voice he said,"Sha n''t I? |
18910 | I wonder if Botha will be able to hold it? |
18910 | If it is so deadly cold on this unheated train, what do they do in the trenches with practically the same equipment they came out with in August? |
18910 | In the middle of the worst rush the sergeant said to me,"You know they''re shelling the town again?" |
18910 | Is it the weather or the Russian advance? |
18910 | Is n''t it absolutely rotten? |
18910 | Is n''t it beastly? |
18910 | Is n''t it horrible? |
18910 | Is there anything else quite like it anywhere else? |
18910 | My boy with the dressings on his head has not the slightest idea that he''s got no eyes, and who is going to tell him? |
18910 | One boy said suddenly, when I was attending to his leg,"Are n''t you very foolish to be staying up here?" |
18910 | One very ill boy, wounded in the lungs, who was put off at Abbeville, was wailing,"Where''s my Mary Box?" |
18910 | The train stays here to- night and we are off to- morrow? |
18910 | There is a great deal about the French and English heavy losses, but where are the wounded being sent? |
18910 | There is but one task for all-- For each one life to give, Who stands if freedom fall? |
18910 | They do n''t lose much time finding these things out, do they? |
18910 | They had all that and one mouth- organ-- wasn''t it lucky? |
18910 | They spell War, and War only-- nothing else( but perhaps an earthquake?) |
18910 | They stayed there several hours with no dressings on, sinking into the mud( can you wonder it has gone wrong? |
18910 | We are still in the same train, and shall not reach Le Mans till 11 P.M. Then what? |
18910 | We want to get home to our wives these beautiful days, and so do you, so why do you go on fighting?" |
18910 | What about the Russians who came through England? |
18910 | What do you think of that? |
18910 | When I said to the first boy,"Have you got a muffler?" |
18910 | When they got the khaki hankies they said,"Khaki? |
18910 | Who dies if England live?" |
18910 | Why? |
18910 | Wo n''t it be thrilling to see it all? |
18910 | Would n''t you like to be under the table when K. and J. and F. are poring over their maps to- night? |
18910 | _ Monday, September 28th._--There are hundreds of people in deep new black in this town; what must it be in Berlin? |
18910 | _ Still Good Friday_, 10 P.M.--Who said Active Service? |
18910 | _ Tuesday, May 18th, is it?_ 1 A.M.,_ in bed._--It has been about the worst night of all the worst nights. |
18910 | _ Xmas Eve, 1914._--And no fire and no chauffage, and cotton frocks; funny life, is n''t it? |
18910 | doing their dressings, all as busy as bees, only stopping to say to us,"Are n''t they brave?" |
18910 | for----? |
18910 | sha n''t I?" |
30114 | Has he seen our periscope in the second it was exposed, and is he running away from us? |
30114 | How much water then must we take in? |
30114 | No U- boat had ever attempted such a feat before, but why not try? |
30114 | Or would they get away from us before our guns could take effect? |
30114 | Or, on the contrary, having seen us, will he put on full steam and try to run us down with a fatal death stroke from his prow? |
30114 | Ought we not therefore to rejoice in our justifiable satisfaction? |
30114 | The question was, should we be able to perform this new duty? |
30114 | Was it diminishing? |
30114 | We are often asked,"How can you breathe under water?" |
30114 | What would have happened to us in this war had we not so proudly excelled above the earth and beneath the sea? |
30114 | Will the fellow continue on the same course? |
11008 | Accident- insurance, old- age pensions, and all that-- what do we want to fight the Kaiser for? 11008 And on which side?" |
11008 | And what did he say? |
11008 | Can you not take coffee and rolls in London as well as in some Paris café? |
11008 | Did you ever see it? |
11008 | Did you ever see one of these soldiers salute? |
11008 | Did you ever see them salute? 11008 Do they know how to shoot?" |
11008 | Do you speak English? |
11008 | Go to war? |
11008 | Have you any idea of the moral effect of that step? 11008 How are the English?" |
11008 | I suppose you are surprised to see the Dom, yes? |
11008 | Kill him? |
11008 | Monsieur is a stranger? |
11008 | Oh,she said, and in her crisp, English voice, without further ado,"will you help me with a leg?" |
11008 | Paris? 11008 The King of Spain ran over to Bordeaux one day, and came to us and said:''I''ve got two hours; what can you show me?'' |
11008 | There''s seven hundred good men gone, maybe-- how many did the Triumph carry? 11008 Where''s it going to end?" |
11008 | Will you give us time to get off? |
11008 | With Servia? |
11008 | ''Are you sufficiently reassured now?'' |
11008 | --is this one meant for you? |
11008 | --it was he who had no money and nothing to cover him, and what did they want him to do? |
11008 | And the Germans-- how were they? |
11008 | And then--"What do you think about the war?" |
11008 | Another breakfast like this, another day of rain and fog, another''"Q?" |
11008 | At the first bewildering''"Q?" |
11008 | But Treitschke-- who was he? |
11008 | But was it overhead? |
11008 | But where? |
11008 | But why staggering? |
11008 | Did it take those three motor- cars and those little dots for some reconnoitring division commander and his staff? |
11008 | Has he made a convention With perfidious Albion? |
11008 | He was going back home--"to fight?" |
11008 | Husbands gone, food gone, the country swept bare-- why did they not go, too? |
11008 | I did n''t say anything about it to anybody-- they''d only laugh at me-- d''you know what I mean? |
11008 | If a man should invent something that would kill a hundred thousand men at once, he''d be a great man... Now, what is that?" |
11008 | Is it merely quiet and sun? |
11008 | Nobody knows--")"Is he for the Germans? |
11008 | On n''sait pas--"("What thinks the Prime Minister? |
11008 | Practically all the wounds were infected when the men came in, but suppose he could have picked up something in that bath? |
11008 | They could n''t afford to keep a place in England and live somewhere else half the time--"and, after all, what is there in being a cabbage?" |
11008 | To fight?--I suggested. |
11008 | To- night?" |
11008 | Unfortunate, no doubt, but what do you wish? |
11008 | What can you say about it? |
11008 | What do you think of it? |
11008 | What was to become of these people when their little supply of food was exhausted? |
11008 | When he came to the majorums he said:''What on earth do you do with those?'' |
11008 | Where could they go? |
11008 | Who was Take Ionesco in comparison with the fate of a race? |
11008 | Who was he, then-- king of his country? |
11008 | Why could n''t people knock each other out in a stand- up fight like men in a ring, instead of strewing the open road with explosives? |
11008 | Wounded? |
11008 | like the Mexican''s"Who knows?" |
11008 | says the journalist; he likes hard bread; but why must several million people go on cracking their teeth because of that idiosyncrasy? |
11008 | the lieutenant called out to a Belgian officer standing not far away,"ca n''t you telephone over to your people to stop that? |
11008 | the old woman repeated, looking from one to the other, and then added, as one putting an unanswerable question:"But you are not soldiers?" |
29660 | ''A friend to North or South?'' 29660 ''Gin''ral,''said I,''_ you all_ do n''t think of capterin''them are Yankee wagons, do you?'' |
29660 | ''Why not? 29660 So great was the danger which he thus ran, that one of his staff said:''General, do n''t you think this is the wrong place for you?'' |
29660 | That gun must be captured,exclaimed Lieutenant Elmer J. Barker, of the Fifth New York,"and who will volunteer to charge it with me?" |
29660 | Why do we not advance? |
29660 | ''Well,''said I,''Buford, what can I do?'' |
29660 | But as they have failed to do so, the inquiry is very general among us,"Where are they?" |
29660 | Does it not appear to be an overruling act of Providence? |
29660 | Is not this the case everywhere? |
29660 | It appears that a certain Colonel Turner Ashby, with a force of cavaliers(?) |
29660 | The first great impulse of the authorities was in the direction of self- defence( and what could be more natural and proper? |
29660 | Who comes there?" |
29660 | Why do not our guns reopen their fire? |
29660 | and,"What do they intend?" |
29660 | exclaimed the general,''have not the Yankees a large wagon- train there?'' |
29660 | who goes there?'' |
12880 | Are there many women in Canada-- women in every house-- like here? |
12880 | But,said Lena,"what do they do in house-- when bread is made and dish- wash?" |
12880 | Do you think it will be over soon? |
12880 | How are the folks at home? |
12880 | How long shall I be there? |
12880 | Is it well? |
12880 | My country-- is it well? |
12880 | What are the flags up for? |
12880 | What are you? |
12880 | What did you do to it? |
12880 | What good would books be to me in this black hole? |
12880 | What reason had we? 12880 What time is it?" |
12880 | Who are you? |
12880 | Why? |
12880 | Did I not like girls? |
12880 | Did he by any chance know a boy from Vancouver called Wallen Gordon, who had been"Missing"since the 2d of June, 1916? |
12880 | Did they get enough to eat? |
12880 | Did they get their parcels? |
12880 | Do you hear of any who did?" |
12880 | Have you got any?" |
12880 | Have you the rings? |
12880 | He came to me and said,"Well, what have you got?" |
12880 | He fairly danced at his work after that, and when I saw him afterwards, he eagerly asked--"My country-- is it well?" |
12880 | He looked thin and worried, and, as usual, the questions were put to us--"Why did we want to leave?" |
12880 | He walked over to the gendarme and glared in his face,--"What do I want to get back for?" |
12880 | How were they treated? |
12880 | I said--"what things? |
12880 | It took time, of course, but what was time to us? |
12880 | Lena had heard women worked in the house, and not outside, in Canada-- was it true? |
12880 | No? |
12880 | Of course, we all knew we were taking a grave risk, but then, why should n''t we? |
12880 | Or Reg Black from Manitou? |
12880 | The Russians were scurrying out like scared rabbits, but the British, not so easily intimidated, were asking,"What''s the row?" |
12880 | The gendarme at last broke out into English, cutting his words off with a snarl:"What do you fellows want to get back for anyway? |
12880 | The possession of a compass is an indication that the subject of"escaping"has been thought of, and the question,"Have you a compass?" |
12880 | Then came the moment of tense anxiety.... Would he lock me in? |
12880 | Then he asked me what did Canada hope to get out of the war? |
12880 | Then, after a few minutes''conference-- Had I a girl? |
12880 | This is the form in which the question came:"You have no girl, but you say you like girls; is n''t it all right to have a girl?" |
12880 | Was Fanny my girl? |
12880 | Was I married? |
12880 | Was it the food, or was it because we had to work?" |
12880 | We asked him if there was any danger of our being interned? |
12880 | We did not enjoy the notoriety very much, but the guard enjoyed it immensely, for was he not the keeper of two hardened and desperate men? |
12880 | We were asked our names, ages, previous occupation, when captured, and the most important questions of all,"Why were we fighting against Germany?" |
12880 | Wer da?" |
12880 | Were they very lonely? |
12880 | What if they were burnt on the outside? |
12880 | What matter if I never saw it again? |
12880 | What spite have you and I at each other?" |
12880 | What_ do_ they understand?" |
12880 | When he came in, he blew his breath in the frosty air, and asked,"Kalt?" |
12880 | Who do you know that has got away? |
12880 | Why go to England? |
12880 | Why had n''t I a girl? |
12880 | Why had n''t I thought to put sugar in it when I mixed it up? |
12880 | Would we sign a paper-- he asked us then-- to show this? |
12880 | and,"Why did we want to leave Germany?" |
12880 | is the prison- camp way of saying,"What do you think of making a try?" |
12880 | or Garnet Stewart from Winnipeg? |
12880 | or what? |
27193 | Are all you boys feeling right? |
27193 | But why should that stop you? |
27193 | Do n''t you know that there are still hundreds of boys coming down the line wounded and broken? |
27193 | Do you really mean that, Jim? |
27193 | Do you smoke them? |
27193 | Liza,replied the first speaker''s companion, in a somewhat indignant voice,"Bill''s over there, ai n''t''e? |
27193 | Say,said one,"ai n''t it time that this war wuz over? |
27193 | Well, Rawlinson, and how are you getting along? 27193 Well,"said I,"will she shake hands now?" |
27193 | When? |
27193 | Why? |
27193 | Yes,he replied,"I should enjoy something to drink; but who will take me to your tea- room?" |
27193 | You are a soldier, are you not, Canada? |
27193 | But who are you?" |
27193 | CHAPTER IV BRAILLE I have often been asked,"What is Braille? |
27193 | Have you got a cigarette to give a fellow?" |
27193 | He answered:"Say, Digger, I''ve been taking some chances, have n''t I? |
27193 | He was most solicitous about the welfare of the"head- case,"and kept showering me with questions, such as:"Are you comfortable, Mac?" |
27193 | How do you like it?" |
27193 | How is the boy this morning?" |
27193 | I have heard some of the men of the other teams asking:"Why do they always pull us over? |
27193 | Is it raised letters?" |
27193 | Suddenly, from the direction of the door, a cheery voice exclaimed:"Are any new men here? |
27193 | The matron asked her, somewhat sternly,"Did you not hear that man calling?" |
27193 | Two queens in one afternoon is not bad going for an old Canuck, is it?" |
27193 | What need is there of the beautiful for those who are without eyes, or who have eyes that see not? |
27193 | What other educational establishment can boast such a record? |
27193 | When do they figure on letting you get away from here? |
27193 | When we met, I began our conversation with:"Well, kid, how are things?" |
27193 | Where''s Rawlinson?" |
27193 | Why do n''t they stop? |
16078 | And are you goin''to march in them drorin''-room abominations? |
16078 | But Wankin--"What? |
16078 | Do n''t I? |
16078 | Do n''t know? 16078 Do you think I mistook this damned place for the canteen?" |
16078 | Everything you say is about things we all know; who wants to''ear about them? 16078 Form fours-- where?" |
16078 | France I suppose, is n''t it? |
16078 | Going to---- pub? |
16078 | Have you any room to spare here? |
16078 | Here on account of drink? |
16078 | How do you know? |
16078 | Is it to line the streets when the troops come home? 16078 Is that so?" |
16078 | The crutch? |
16078 | They do n''t pinch or-- what''s wrong with you? |
16078 | Was it rheumatic pains last time? |
16078 | Well, sir, the last time was when--"How many times? |
16078 | What about that apartment there? |
16078 | What are you supposed to leave for the men? 16078 What did you think of it?" |
16078 | What do you think of it? |
16078 | What have you got? |
16078 | What is it? |
16078 | What the dickens did you take this here for? |
16078 | What''s wrong with it? |
16078 | Where are we going? |
16078 | Where to, sir? |
16078 | Where''ll yer go then? |
16078 | Why have we joined? |
16078 | Why? |
16078 | Why? |
16078 | Will you? 16078 Would I?" |
16078 | Would you like a holiday? |
16078 | Would you mind me lookin''at passes, mateys? |
16078 | ''Wot''s my gime?'' |
16078 | ''Wot''s yer gime?'' |
16078 | :"''Ow many are there of yer?" |
16078 | :"Gentlemen, ai n''t yer?" |
16078 | :"Oo are you?" |
16078 | And our enemies? |
16078 | And the landladies''daughters? |
16078 | And you, what''s wrong with your understandings?" |
16078 | D''ye get paid for writin''that?" |
16078 | Did you not know that you were right?... |
16078 | France, Egypt, or India? |
16078 | Is that clear to every man?" |
16078 | It pains me when marching, and sometimes--""Have you ever heard that Napoleon said an army marches on its stomach?" |
16078 | Lyin''out on the grass last field day--""How many times have you been here before?" |
16078 | Now, who is this friend I''m talking about?" |
16078 | Some, who are not the least ill, whine till one is sick-- what''s the matter with you?" |
16078 | The Jersey youth made a remark:"Where are we going to?" |
16078 | The poet says:''I sing my songs to you-- and well, You''ll maybe like them-- who can tell?'' |
16078 | What are my men to get?" |
16078 | What brought you here?" |
16078 | Where are we going to when we leave England? |
16078 | Where''s Eyeglass, the platoon sergeant, now? |
16078 | Who''s pinched him?" |
16078 | Your boots are good?" |
16078 | he repeated;"what the devil does it matter to you? |
31969 | I thought, to what extent is this slaughter to go on, and when will the sacrifice for patriotism''s sake be complete? |
16337 | Has it hit the gun? |
16337 | How will the war go? 16337 Imperial Light Horse?" |
16337 | Over where? |
16337 | What,said the weak voice-- the smile struggled to come out again, but dropped back even sooner than before--"have they got my finger too?" |
16337 | Where? |
16337 | 10._"Good morning,"banged four- point- seven;"have you used Long Tom?" |
16337 | And now what does it feel like to be bombarded? |
16337 | And this is more or less what he said:--"Information? |
16337 | And what was the good? |
16337 | And who''s fault''s that? |
16337 | Armoured train blown up, Mafeking cut off, Kimberley in danger, and General Butler-- what? |
16337 | But what matters it whether they lost one or one million? |
16337 | But what odds? |
16337 | But when that was done, what could they do? |
16337 | But where do you come from? |
16337 | Every Dutchman''s armed, and how many rifles will you find among the English? |
16337 | Has a man of that Army Corps left England? |
16337 | Has not the Government sent us a garrison? |
16337 | He turned with the beginning of a smile that would not finish:"Would you mind straightening out my arm?" |
16337 | Hour by hour-- would day never break? |
16337 | How could that be possible at this hour? |
16337 | How could we expect undergraduates to be moral if Mr Steevens did such things? |
16337 | How, indeed? |
16337 | I wonder if it is all real? |
16337 | I''ve left my property in the Free State, and odds are I shall lose every penny I''ve got-- what part? |
16337 | In the mean time the good lady of the refreshment- room says:"Dinner? |
16337 | In the morning they asked the Director of Military Intelligence what the shelling was; he replied,"What shelling?" |
16337 | In the rain- blurred light of the lantern-- could it not cease, that piercing drizzle to- night of all nights at least? |
16337 | Is there no stretcher?" |
16337 | It seems bitter, unjust, a quite superfluous dispensation; and then one''s eye falls on the next sentence--''What have we to show in return?'' |
16337 | Now how could we have confidence after all this in British Government? |
16337 | O Lord, how long? |
16337 | Only where? |
16337 | Six policemen, gentlemen, and the Boers are at Pieter''s farrm, and they''ll be here to- night and sjambok--_ Thin- faced man._ Where are the troops? |
16337 | That on their side-- and on ours? |
16337 | Then the third line and the second were lost on the brown, and the third-- where? |
16337 | They tould me there was a box of cigars here; do ye know, sorr, if the bhoys have shmoked them all?" |
16337 | WILL IT BE CIVIL WAR? |
16337 | WILL IT BE CIVIL WAR? |
16337 | Was it an apparition, or was that under the kummerbund a bit of kilt and an end of sporran? |
16337 | Well, then, if the Army Corps had left three months ago, would n''t the Boers have declared war three months ago too? |
16337 | Were we mad? |
16337 | What in the name of gunpowder is it all about? |
16337 | What next? |
16337 | What was I to do? |
16337 | What were they? |
16337 | What were we doing? |
16337 | Where are the volunteers? |
16337 | Where was I to go? |
16337 | Where were we? |
16337 | Where''s the Army Corps? |
16337 | Who goes there?" |
16337 | Who would not weep over the extinction of a career set in a promise so golden, in an accomplishment so rare and splendid? |
16337 | Why didna they send the Army Corps out three months ago? |
16337 | Why does our Government--_ Brown- faced man._ Are you accustomed to shoot? |
16337 | Would it never end? |
16337 | Would this cursed hill never end? |
16337 | _ Thick- set man._ And where are the British arms? |
16337 | _ Thin- faced man._ Any trouble in getting away? |
16337 | _ Thin- faced man._ But I want to know why the Boers are armed and we are n''t? |
16337 | all over-- and come here on to British soil, and what do I find? |
16337 | cried the staff officer with amazement in his voice;"what on earth for?" |
16337 | who are you fallin''up against? |
31998 | For was not God my father, Jesus my elder brother, and Heaven my home? |
15644 | Are they sincere? |
15644 | Bullion or coin? |
15644 | But were there not many who if they had opportunity would have proclaimed themselves for the United States Government? |
15644 | Did he tell you to bring it to me? |
15644 | How do you know? |
15644 | How was he killed? |
15644 | I saw him die ten minutes ago? |
15644 | Why? |
15644 | [*] Can a jealous God consolidate and perpetuate a power commenced in perjury? 15644 -- One more Move-- but how? 15644 -- One more Move-- but how? 15644 -- Was my Oath binding? 15644 -- Was my Oath binding? 15644 -- Why? 15644 -- Why? 15644 Among the questions to be settled by this war, are not these important? 15644 B._ Now, honey, be aisy, ca n''t ye? 15644 B._ Och, Colonel dear, ye would n''t be so bad as that, would ye? 15644 B._ Ye''ll gag me, will ye? 15644 But how could this be accomplished? 15644 But the question now arose, where was the guard to come from-- no one would answer to the guard detail? 15644 But what could one man, and he a youth and a stranger, do against a corrupt and reckless populace? 15644 But what plea shall shield the sin which claims to love one''s own petty State better than either country or God? 15644 But, in this case, can it be done safely? 15644 Did he not deserve my special care?'' 15644 Does any reader say,You did wrong-- you had better have died than have given your name to such an infamous and causeless rebellion?" |
15644 | Does the reader ask, Why such sacrifice? |
15644 | From their stand- point, why should it? |
15644 | Has not the day of avenging already commenced? |
15644 | He called out,"Pat, what have you got in your gun? |
15644 | He seemed overcome, and said,"My friend, why this kindness to an enemy?" |
15644 | How have they secured and manufactured an adequate supply of these, during such a protracted and destructive struggle? |
15644 | How long is this system of terrorism to continue? |
15644 | I came up to him, and said,"You seem to be badly wounded, sir; will you have some water?" |
15644 | Is it possible to treat such a number as banditti, without inaugurating a more bloody retaliation and massacre than the world has ever seen? |
15644 | Morgan asked, in short quick words,"Do you understand my orders?" |
15644 | Must all the cruelties and iniquities which accompany its existence be left unchallenged, and their authors uncondemned? |
15644 | Saffarrens, ran into the river waist- deep, in his desire for safety, when one of his men called out,"Captain, dear, are ye off for Memphis? |
15644 | Shall an American citizen be allowed in safety to travel or reside anywhere in his own land? |
15644 | Shall there be any freedom of opinion and speech upon the question of slavery? |
15644 | Should the Federal authorities suspect me of having been in the Rebel service, would they allow me to take the oath and go my way? |
15644 | Still, can there be no calm and considerate discussion of the rightfulness or sinfulness of the laws which define and regulate slavery? |
15644 | The general stood near, why should not others? |
15644 | The question is often asked, Where does the ammunition come from to supply the Southern army? |
15644 | Their commander was equally non- committal, and demanded,"Who comes there?" |
15644 | Then, how was I to travel thirty miles before daybreak, as it was now two o''clock? |
15644 | This utter disregard of law and the sanctity of human life? |
15644 | To his question,"Are you wounded?" |
15644 | Was I not demonstrating my sentiments, by seceding from a government which affirmed the right in its fundamental law? |
15644 | When he had read it, he asked--"Why did you not take this to General Johnson?" |
15644 | When we sat down to eat and missed a messmate, the query went round,"Will it be my turn next?" |
15644 | Where is your wound?" |
15644 | Whiskey?" |
15644 | Will you do it?" |
21976 | But are you not a confederate? |
21976 | But why do you not cut down some of this forest and till more land? 21976 Have you no husband?" |
21976 | How do you like Fort Donelson? |
21976 | How long will it take you to load your ambulances, doctor? |
21976 | How shall I reach him? |
21976 | What do you want? |
21976 | What troops are those? |
21976 | What''ll Ole Missus do Now? |
21976 | What,replied the militia- men,"You do n''t expect us to eat that hard tack do you?" |
21976 | Why Do n''t he Come? |
21976 | A laugh from the comrades of the luckless ones, while some one would call out,"Have you a pass to go down there?" |
21976 | Boys who had plied the trade of bootblack gave up their profession and with pail and sponge in hand called to the passer by,"Wash your boots, sir?" |
21976 | But of what use do you make it? |
21976 | Can you not stay?" |
21976 | Could he have died a grander death had he been spared longer? |
21976 | Could his last words have been better chosen had he expired in the embrace of loved ones at home? |
21976 | Deyoe, turning his face toward that of the straggler with a look of unruffled coolness and unmitigated contempt, replied,"Well, who the d-- is afraid? |
21976 | During the lovely month of December we had been impatient for action; but now the oft repeated question,"Why do n''t the Army of the Potomac move?" |
21976 | General Sumner rode up to him and said quietly,"General, do you know that Hooker is badly cut up?" |
21976 | Hereafter, men were not to ask,"Who ever saw a dead cavalryman?" |
21976 | How large a portion of this great State was in this sad condition? |
21976 | Meridian Hill-- Neighboring scenery-- First Sunday in camp-- Drills-- Sickness-- The Hospital-- General Casey--"Why do n''t the army move?" |
21976 | Meridian Hill-- Neighboring scenery-- First Sunday in camp-- Drills-- Sickness-- The Hospital-- General Casey--"Why do n''t the army move?" |
21976 | Must this little be reduced? |
21976 | She sadly leans her head upon her hand and sighs,"Why do n''t he come?" |
21976 | The amount of hospital supplies carried in the wagons was already limited; could it be reduced? |
21976 | The doctor stooped over him, and the boy, pressing his hand in his own, said,"You are a friend, are you not?" |
21976 | The major says,''Doctor, can nothing be done?'' |
21976 | The writer of these pages, reining his horse to the side of the vehicle, addressed the aged negress,"Well, aunty, are all those your children?" |
21976 | There can be but one question-- who was responsible for the criminal neglect to send the Sixth corps to the assistance of Pope''s army? |
21976 | Was it because agriculture was unprofitable? |
21976 | Was it because the war had put a stop to agricultural pursuits? |
21976 | Was it worse to keep a corps out of the fight, when on the field, than to keep another corps off from the field altogether without any good reason? |
21976 | Were reinforcements coming? |
21976 | Were they not grand dying words? |
21976 | Were we now, notwithstanding all our brilliant successes and our proud consciousness of superiority, to see our prestige fade in an hour? |
21976 | Were we to pursue the retreating army, or were we to return to Washington to take a new start? |
21976 | What cared the men of the Nineteenth corps that they were forced to lie upon the ground without tents or blankets? |
21976 | What cared they now for the fury of the waves or the hardships of short rations? |
21976 | What do you think of Bull Run?" |
21976 | What was the cause? |
21976 | What''l ole missus do now?" |
21976 | Who would have selected this lovely valley as the scene of one of the most bloody struggles ever recorded? |
21976 | Who would have suspected that it was the Sabbath? |
21976 | Why were these fine lands desolate? |
21976 | [ Illustration:"WHAT''LL OLE MISSUS DO NOW?"] |
21976 | [ Illustration:"WHY DON''T HE COME?"] |
21976 | can I ever write anything beside these mournful details? |
21976 | who comes there?" |
21976 | why do n''t you hit it? |
15131 | How long? |
15131 | That''s a most extraordinary thing,thinks I, deeply interested,"what land whale of these plains blows sand up in that fashion?" |
15131 | What are they shooting at? |
15131 | Where are you to- day? |
15131 | Will the Guides kindly...? |
15131 | A pleasant morning for a ride, is it not?" |
15131 | All this is very sad and lugubrious, is it not? |
15131 | And the Guards? |
15131 | And what must have been the feelings of the poor Boers? |
15131 | Are these the prisoners that we played at dice for? |
15131 | Are thieving, and lying, and looting, and bestial talk very bad things? |
15131 | Are those kopjes out of range? |
15131 | Are you going to burn down every house, and turn the whole country into a desert? |
15131 | Are you less of these things? |
15131 | Are you wide- awake, sharp, and shrewd, plucky; can you lead? |
15131 | But what a revelation, is it not? |
15131 | But what was the reason of this latest? |
15131 | But where does their main strength lie? |
15131 | Can anything in that hell down there be left alive? |
15131 | Can there be so blessed a place? |
15131 | Can there be such a land? |
15131 | Can you conceive a more disgusting termination to a morning stroll? |
15131 | Do n''t you? |
15131 | Do you know Colonials? |
15131 | Do you know the emancipated feeling yourself? |
15131 | Have we been through Belmont and Graspan and Modder River and Magersfontein for nothing? |
15131 | Here is a bit of raw humanity for you to study, a sample of the old Anglo- Saxon breed; what do you make of it? |
15131 | Here''s another-- First Tommy:"And the bullets was comin''that thick----"Second Tommy:"Well, but''adn''t you got no ant''ills?" |
15131 | Horse is it, or man? |
15131 | How are you? |
15131 | How far do you mean to go in this? |
15131 | How many of this little brotherhood under the mud wall, idly I wonder, will ever see English meadows again? |
15131 | How often has this happened to the Colonials? |
15131 | If the plot existed, why did n''t the plot work? |
15131 | If this scheme for a general rising existed, why is not the Colony in arms now? |
15131 | In a grey light I rouse myself to look out across the wet misty flat, hearing some one say,"Who''s that? |
15131 | Is n''t there? |
15131 | It is generally considered rather a coup in war, I believe, to take the enemy''s capital, is n''t it? |
15131 | Let''s all lie and steal; what does it signify? |
15131 | Of what use is even courage itself if it goes with impatience and a flash in the pan endurance? |
15131 | Shall I ever submit to that varlet again? |
15131 | The question is, how are we to collar them? |
15131 | Then what about your bedding? |
15131 | Then where was French? |
15131 | These are roughish traits, are they not? |
15131 | Was ever such luck? |
15131 | We have always said,"Why, with all these armies in the field, can not we surround them, or catch them, or deal a decisive blow of some sort?" |
15131 | We have come along well, have we not? |
15131 | What do you think the answer to that is? |
15131 | What force is that?" |
15131 | What is it to be a child of the veldt, and never to have known any other life except the life of these plains? |
15131 | What manner of life, think you, is in yonder ditch? |
15131 | What news can you expect in such times? |
15131 | What sterner test can a nation be put to than this? |
15131 | What the devil''s the use of the bravest man with half- a- dozen bullets through him? |
15131 | What were they there for? |
15131 | What would you give for a peep at the show; to see the types and hear the talk? |
15131 | What would you think of giving Puckie a rifle and sending him out to fight? |
15131 | Who decides these things? |
15131 | Who goes there?" |
15131 | Why on earth did Broadwood camp the wrong side of that ditch? |
15131 | Why should naval guns be so vastly superior to land ones? |
15131 | Will Methuen decide the point, or the war correspondents, or will they hold a cabinet council about it? |
15131 | Would any one kindly tell him why the Guards were not somewhere else? |
15131 | You know a hawk''s hover? |
15131 | what the dash are you running for?" |
15131 | where are their guns? |
2617 | Any guerrillas? |
2617 | Is it a good road, and how far? |
2617 | Well, ai n''t you on our side? |
2617 | What do you know of Uncle Billy? |
2617 | What is to be done with the freedmen? |
2617 | But it first became necessary to settle the important question of who should succeed General McPherson? |
2617 | But what next? |
2617 | Can it be that such a resort finds root in any stratum of American opinion? |
2617 | Can you expedite the sending to Nashville of the recruits that are in Indiana and Ohio? |
2617 | Could not such a camp be established about Pocotaligo or Coosawhatchie? |
2617 | Could not such escaped slaves find at least a partial supply of food in the rice- fields about Savannah, and cotton plantations on the coast? |
2617 | Davis, etc.? |
2617 | General Blair simply asked,"Do you like it?" |
2617 | General Grant remarked,"What is to prevent their laying the rails again?" |
2617 | If Hood goes to the Alabama line, will it not be impossible for him to subsist his army? |
2617 | If the rebel leaders were to arm the slaves, what would be its effect? |
2617 | Others say:"What are we to do? |
2617 | Pausing awhile, and watching the operations of this man roasting his corn, he said,"What are you doing?" |
2617 | Should we allow them to escape, etc.? |
2617 | So that the only questions that remained were, would he surrender at Raleigh? |
2617 | Some say:"I have such a one sick at my house; who will wait on them when I am gone?" |
2617 | State in what manner you would rather live--whether scattered among the whites, or in colonies by yourselves? |
2617 | State what you understand by slavery, and the freedom that was to be given by the President''s proclamation? |
2617 | State what, in your opinion, is the best way to enlist colored men as soldiers? |
2617 | Then followed the question,"Is Fort McAllister taken?" |
2617 | This being so, how is it possible for the people still here( mostly women and children) to find any shelter? |
2617 | What signified the terms to them, so long as we obtained the actual surrender of people who only wanted a good opportunity to give up gracefully? |
2617 | What was to be done with the rebel armies when defeated? |
2617 | Who ever supposed they would come away down here in Alabama?" |
2617 | Who have prompted him? |
2617 | Why was this, or why was all mention of any field of duty for the head of the army left out of the army regulations? |
2617 | said a listener,"do n''t you know that old Sherman carries a duplicate tunnel along?" |
31991 | Can he ever forget the holy inspiration of the silent cheer from his speechless father, mother, sister or lover as he passed them? |
31991 | Can the picture ever fade? |
31991 | Seeing this, our Colonel raised his hand in a forbidding attitude and called out,--"Why, boys, you would not shoot a man in that way, would you? |
23031 | And how air you going? |
23031 | And you are going to the front, old lady-- you, of all people in the world? |
23031 | But, Madame Seacole,( this in a very altered tone),"_ you''ll_ surely help me? |
23031 | Do you think I shall be of any use to you when I get there? |
23031 | I am yours, truly obliged,J. K., 18th R. S."Does n''t that read like a sick man''s letter, glad enough to welcome any woman''s face? |
23031 | I say, Mrs. Seacole, how''s that---- boy? |
23031 | Oh, Dr. Casey, how could you shoot the poor lad, and now call him bad names, as though he''d injured you? 23031 What am I to do? |
23031 | What can I do or say, Dr. Casey? 23031 Where air you going?" |
23031 | Why not, my sons?--won''t they be glad to have me there? |
23031 | Another equally terrible and lengthy siege of the north? |
23031 | As it was, he came forward, and shook hands very kindly, saying,"How do you do, ma''am? |
23031 | But what have I gained? |
23031 | But who, indeed, has not been kind to me? |
23031 | By what conveyance air you going?" |
23031 | Ca n''t I rig up a hut with the packing- cases, and sleep, if need be, on straw, like Margery Daw?" |
23031 | Come, Madame Seacole, you''ll never leave me to be murdered by these bloodthirsty savages?" |
23031 | Did these ladies shrink from accepting my aid because my blood flowed beneath a somewhat duskier skin than theirs? |
23031 | Her colour was grey; would not a thick coating of flour from my dredger make all right? |
23031 | How could it be otherwise? |
23031 | How was I to know when I brought them what camp- life was? |
23031 | I could give many other similar instances, but why should I sadden myself or my readers? |
23031 | I felt it to be so, for I never failed( although who was I, that I should preach?) |
23031 | I wonder if I can ever forget the scenes I witnessed there? |
23031 | In a few days the camp could find plenty to talk about in their novel position-- and what then? |
23031 | Is n''t there a something we can du for you, ma''am?" |
23031 | More fighting? |
23031 | Now, would all this have happened if I had returned to England a rich woman? |
23031 | Perhaps you''ll see them some day, and if the Russians should knock me over, mother, just tell them I thought of them all-- will you?" |
23031 | Tell me, reader, can you fancy what the want of so simple a thing as a pocket- handkerchief is? |
23031 | To put a case-- have you ever gone out for the day without one; sat in a draught and caught a sneezing cold in the head? |
23031 | Was it not so with me? |
23031 | Was it possible that American prejudices against colour had some root here? |
23031 | What better or happier lot could possibly befall me? |
23031 | What can you do for me, mami?" |
23031 | What object has Mrs. Seacole in coming out? |
23031 | What was to be done? |
23031 | Why did n''t he show a little pluck? |
23031 | Why did you ever bring me to this place? |
23031 | Why not trust to their welcome and kindness, and start at once? |
23031 | Will the reader take any interest in my Crimean Christmas- pudding? |
23031 | Would you like, reader, to know my recipe for the favourite claret cup? |
23031 | _ you''ll_ surely tell the alcalde that the wound''s a slight one? |
23031 | do I, Aunty?" |
32733 | General, while you were standing by a large tree during that battle, how near to your head did a bullet come, which struck a little above you? |
13827 | But why,asks one of the men best qualified to speak in our Army--"why use the words''retreat''and''disaster''at all?" |
13827 | But, finally-- what do you expect or wish for? |
13827 | How? |
13827 | Since when did you expect the French to come back? |
13827 | Then we have not muddled through? |
13827 | What could we do? |
13827 | Why do n''t you_ boom_ your Generals? |
13827 | Yes--_but what about France_? |
13827 | _ What!_--you think nothing is changed?--that you are the masters here as you used to be-- that you can treat us as you used to treat us? 13827 A tired Army, and an attack pushed too far?--is that the summing up of the first battle of Cambrai? 13827 An American Army of 5,000,000 men was in contemplation, and,Why,"said the President at Baltimore in April,"limit it to 5,000,000?" |
13827 | And now? |
13827 | And when all is said, when our grave losses in casualties, prisoners, and guns are fully admitted, what was the general result? |
13827 | Another, less profitable, asks:"Could the Allies have won without America?" |
13827 | At last Sir Julian Byng had achieved surprise; at last there had been open fighting; if by happy chance we took Cambrai what might not happen? |
13827 | But had it ever occurred to such a Greek to ponder the general stimulus given to human faculty by war? |
13827 | But loss of prestige? |
13827 | But without seeing, how can any man foretell the future-- how he may fare?" |
13827 | Do not allow us even to_ begin_ to ask ourselves whether, after all, we have not paid too much for the alliance we gloried in?" |
13827 | For what are those facts? |
13827 | Has Christianity, swathed as it is in half- decayed beliefs, any longer power to help us? |
13827 | How are his men fighting? |
13827 | How can we bring our two nations closer together in this vital matter? |
13827 | How long shall we keep our wrath? |
13827 | Is there any consolation? |
13827 | Is there anything to console us for such a spectacle? |
13827 | May one not hope that they may still be of use in the reconstruction of French towns and the revival of French agriculture? |
13827 | Most true-- and yet? |
13827 | Of the vast hospital service, what can one say that has not been said a thousand tunes already? |
13827 | PRISONERS.--What are the enemy losses? |
13827 | She wants nothing more for herself-- the Great Mother of Nations-- why should she? |
13827 | Should we really have to sleep in the car? |
13827 | Suppose the war is over, and France swallowed up,_ before_ they begin?" |
13827 | The Air Force? |
13827 | The Peace Terms are no final solution-- how could they be? |
13827 | The_ North American Review_ asked in December, 1917:"Are we losing the war? |
13827 | Was it true-- or not true? |
13827 | Was there ever a more lovely winter evening? |
13827 | We are victors indeed; we have won to the shore; but the wreck of the tempest lies all round us; and what is the future to be? |
13827 | We''ll show you? |
13827 | What does that leaping line mean? |
13827 | What homes did they come from? |
13827 | What is it that makes the special charm of the distinguished soldier, as compared with other distinguished men? |
13827 | What is your business?" |
13827 | What manner of men were they that fought this fight? |
13827 | What traditions did they represent? |
13827 | What was it, asks M. Reinach, that enabled the French to hold out as they did? |
13827 | What was the Hindenburg line? |
13827 | When was her Army coming? |
13827 | When we arrived on March 6th at the Visitors''Château at G.H.Q.--then, of course, at St. Omer-- our first question was:"Verdun?" |
13827 | When would America come in? |
13827 | Who knew what the coming spring campaign would bring forth? |
13827 | Who was responsible for this unpreparedness? |
13827 | Why not break off? |
13827 | Why not? |
13827 | Why? |
13827 | said the Frenchmen, in a kind of despair--"but when are they going to_ begin_? |
26548 | Aw, yer mean this''ere row in Yourope? 26548 Do n''t those chaps look as if they''re enjoying themselves?" |
26548 | How d''you come by that bit of landscape, Mick? |
26548 | Midday on Monday or Tuesday? |
26548 | Shall I stop her? |
26548 | To starboard-- or port? |
26548 | Well,they would reply,"it would n''t be a bad idea, would it? |
26548 | What''s up, cobber? |
26548 | Which way? |
26548 | Who are you? |
26548 | Why in the devil did n''t that bloomin''war come in our time? |

26548 | And would this fine old station life ever be his again? |
26548 | Anyhow it''s what we''re here for, and they oughter keep out of our way if they do n''t want to get dinged, eh, cobber?" |
26548 | But, I say, would n''t it be a lot of trouble?" |
26548 | Did dawn find them gained? |
26548 | He was awake, but why was it he could not see? |
26548 | How''s things? |
26548 | However, why not? |
26548 | Incidentally, they often terminated an exceptionally fluent flow with"Eh, Mistah Mickkenzie?" |
26548 | Is that some more of O''Grady''s blanky rubbish?" |
26548 | It''s a bit of a business, ai n''t it?" |
26548 | Minutes passed slowly, five, ten, twenty, thirty-- what on earth did this mean? |
26548 | Nice feller you are to call yerself me cobber?'' |
26548 | No? |
26548 | Savvy?" |
26548 | See?" |
26548 | The first would come tripping down the path to the soldiers and inquire:"Mother says would you like some tea?" |
26548 | The honoured guests would take the State gharries to their hotel? |
26548 | The troopships lay in the harbours, the men were ready in camp, why not embark? |
26548 | Was it, he thought, worth while gradually to spoil this wonderful building for the sake of lucre from twentieth century Egypt? |
26548 | What about it?" |
26548 | What d''you think of what''s happening?" |
26548 | What have you crawled out of the tent for?" |
26548 | What mattered it if the sheep got on their backs or the cattle broke their silly necks? |
26548 | What''s that blanky stuff doing there? |
26548 | Where in the devil are you? |
26548 | Where was that great force from Suvla Bay? |
26548 | Why did they not make a general advance? |
26548 | Why had not Colonel Macpherson managed to move his flank- guard three miles in two minutes? |
26548 | Why should the fool be so bally unreasonable as to report? |
26548 | Why were the anchors not weighed? |
26548 | Wonder how long we''ll be here?" |
26548 | Wot d''you think?" |
26548 | Would he be a funk? |
26548 | Would he trust to luck that the shell was not for him, and save the bacon, or would he crouch for safety under the protection wall? |
26548 | Would they be worthy of the glorious traditions of their old chiefs? |

19131 | When can I send my child? |
19131 | Where does all that chatter come from? |
19131 | Why do the Germans do these things? 19131 Why? |
19131 | After the hospital-- what? |
19131 | And the business men will think:''Are they coming as faithful partners, or simply to steal and rob?'' |
19131 | Are not the Belgians very ungrateful? |
19131 | Are they to submit once again to that secret process of the Germans? |
19131 | Are we quite worthy of their sacrifice? |
19131 | Are you indicting a nation? |
19131 | Are you, comfortable reader, altogether sure that Pierre Depage and André Simont are called on to spill their blood for your good name? |
19131 | As to myself, when I meet them again in my country-- I shall ask myself:''Is he a friend, or is he a spy?'' |
19131 | But what of the wounded themselves? |
19131 | But, as to what the Germans are doing, good or not, they will never appreciate that-- what does it matter? |

19131 | May I have it a moment?" |
19131 | Shall these men who have defended France be left to rot? |
19131 | The issue of the war, as Belgium and France see it, is this: Are they to live or die? |
19131 | Tired so soon? |
19131 | WAS IT REAL? |

30597 | Have you spies in their camps? |
30597 | He turned upon me and said,"Dodge, you whipped them today, did n''t you?" |
30597 | I walked away, not thinking of Shields; but he called back to me and said,"Colonel, you are not going to leave me this way are you?" |
30597 | The questions I wish to bring before you, however, are, What are the rights of an officer in such matters? |
30597 | Then he said:"Ca n''t you do it again tomorrow?" |

32650 | If so, how long will it last?" |

21806 | Who are you? |
21806 | Who said that? |
21806 | Who''s the senior soldier? |
21806 | Yes,I replied, then in my right ear,"and that?" |
21806 | Yessir, this morning"Then there does n''t seem to be any complaint now does there? |
21806 | You are? |
21806 | You mean you''re prepared to forfeit your trade pay without even giving it a try? 21806 You want to return to the Drawing Office?" |
21806 | ********************"And the shouts and the jeers Of the young muleteers,******************** Do you remember an inn?" |
21806 | After a minute the instructor said,"How''re you doing, Johnny?" |
21806 | At the end of each roll she seemed to pause for a second or two-- would she recover? |
21806 | Did I ever get an apology for being accused of stealing? |
21806 | Having acquired these what use could be made of them? |
21806 | He was holding a seven- pound tin of marmalade above my head; engrossed in conversation he allowed the tin to tilt-- need I say more? |
21806 | Hoop snakes? |
21806 | I identified myself"I believe you''ve been spending your drill nights at the Post Office, is that correct?" |
21806 | I suppose that my answers to his semi- technical questions were satisfactory and eventually he asked,"Have you ever thought of a commission?" |
21806 | In the early part of 1942 in bitterly cold weather I was on daytime guard duty at the gate( what else is new? |
21806 | Inevitably I suppose the question has to be asked, was it worth it, would I do it again? |
21806 | One hospital orderly amused me with his line of thinking; judging by his accent I asked him,"You are an Afrikaner?" |
21806 | One lad stood on the make- shift stage and recited,"Do you remember an inn, Miranda, Do you remember an inn? |

21806 | Technically correct I suppose but why not tell the truth? |
21806 | The Orderly Sergeant yelled out,"Any complaints?" |
21806 | The meeting was about to break up and Brigadier Barbary picked up his baton and asked,"Where''s me''at?" |
21806 | The pair approached the voice and the officer asked,"Yes, my man and what is your complaint?" |
21806 | The sequel? |
21806 | Then what had the army done for me? |
21806 | To spare the family pain and disgrace? |
21806 | Uncomprehending soldiers stood around the notice- board saying things like,"Wot''s''ee mean?" |
21806 | Very poisonous? |
21806 | We also visited a zoo( Victoria?) |
21806 | Were conditions very strict? |
21806 | Were there any poisonous creatures around? |
21806 | Were we then to be cavalry? |
21806 | What about Sunday, was there a church parade? |
21806 | What about snakes? |
21806 | What difference had the last six- and- a- half years made to me? |
21806 | What had the army done for me and what had I done for the army? |
21806 | What skills had the army given me? |
21806 | Where was the convoy? |
21806 | Where were we going? |
21806 | Why? |
21806 | Why? |
21806 | and the sergeant- major enquired,"Then why do n''t you-- Sir?" |
21806 | he enquired,"do n''t they salute officers there now? |
21806 | or"Wot the''ell''s a penultimate syllable?" |
21806 | then what are you doing here?" |
31115 | Are you German? |
31115 | But when can we go? |
31115 | Have you seen enough? |
31115 | Where do your father and mother live? |
31115 | Where is your husband? |
31115 | Where is your son? |
31115 | Where were you born? |
31115 | Can we communicate with any one?" |
31115 | Did this dangerous woman think he was going to allow her to throw a bomb in this her moment of despair? |
31115 | Even if Germany and Russia did go to war, why should we not tour in the Ardennes? |
31115 | From what are you flying?" |
31115 | If you wanted a large town, why did you not stop in Berlin?" |
31115 | Was this the first letter of the awful alphabet Europe was to be called on to spell? |
31115 | Was this the first of the mighty German conquests? |
31115 | What possible danger can there be?" |
32031 | But that it did its full duty in the obedience of every order, who will deny? |
32031 | Comrade, did you ever swear? |
32031 | Do you think you ever heard anybody swear? |
32031 | Immediately upon seeing him standing in front of his shop, our boys began to sing out,"Vater hot, or vater cold?" |
32031 | She then asked,"Is that in North Carolina?" |
32031 | What regiment do you belong to?" |
32031 | With what result? |
33139 | Can either of these gentlemen answer? |
33139 | If such be the case,_ why_ am I out of the service? |
10362 | And how shall I pay for food the next two months, if my pay is 200 rupees only, and hospital expenses 500? |
10362 | Before I consider surrender,he said,"tell me what force you''ve got?" |
10362 | Can we give you a hand? |
10362 | How about the lice? |
10362 | How can you ask your men to carry loads and then fight as well, in Equatorial Africa? |
10362 | How is it that I do n''t get close to the good fellows on board the ship? |
10362 | It ca n''t be you? |
10362 | We are not barbarians, are we Fritz? |
10362 | Well, what about it? |
10362 | What do you mean,he exclaimed in anger,"by a little longer?" |
10362 | What,I said again,"do you suggest that these soldiers are thieves?" |
10362 | Why do n''t these fellow- officers of mine come to church? 10362 Why do they put you in with coloured men?" |
10362 | Would you care to nurse our wounded soldiers? |
10362 | And had the Hun been of such, a fibre as to appreciate the lesson, of what great value we might hope that it would be? |
10362 | But how could a man of character go to God''s House and be such an infernal hypocrite? |
10362 | But the true Hun character came out when he asked whether the hated Boers were coming? |
10362 | But what does it profit him to tuck in the net when dysentery drags him from his blanket every hour at night? |
10362 | But will the French? |
10362 | Can one wonder that she was everywhere and anywhere at all homes and in all places? |
10362 | Can you wonder that Tommy understood, and, understanding, copied this example? |
10362 | Can you wonder that the soldier spoke of his padre comrade in such generous terms and that the whole tone of the regiment improved? |
10362 | Could one wonder at the wolfish look upon his face, the dreary hopelessness of his expression? |
10362 | Do we not think that it is a good thing that our army is, by force of circumstances, a teetotal one? |
10362 | Do you blame gentle Sister Mabel that she would never speak to any Hun in German, using only Swahili and precious little of that? |
10362 | Do you think these two ruffians will get the rope? |
10362 | Do you wonder that the stewards and crew of the Union Castle liner struck work rather than convey and look after these beasts on the voyage to Europe? |
10362 | For did not the Emperor''s Eagle now float over Paris and Petersburg? |
10362 | Have n''t you heard the tale that Rumpel tells after his escape? |
10362 | He did not look to be made of heroic mould, but who can tell? |
10362 | How could I hold him back? |
10362 | How could one think that harm could lurk in the tincture of such fragrant things as the flowers of English meadows? |
10362 | How could we tell he was a doctor? |
10362 | How is it that fellows I know to be good and generous and kindly are yet to be found at the bar, in the smoking- room, when my service is on? |
10362 | How is it, you might ask me, that there are any natives left, if tropical Africa is so full of such beastly diseases as this? |
10362 | How should he need the padre, when God Himself is near? |
10362 | How the prestige of the white man had fallen, for had not natives seen white men, on both sides, run away before them? |
10362 | How then could one expect him to put up a mosquito net in the pitch- black darkness in a country where every tree has got a thorn? |
10362 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
10362 | Rather an unpleasant name, is n''t it? |
10362 | SHERRY AND BITTERS A common inquiry put to doctors is,"What do you think of the alcohol question in a tropical campaign?" |
10362 | THE GERMAN IN PEACE AND WAR"What do I think of this country, and how does the Hun of East Africa compare with his European brother?" |
10362 | The Governor''s palace, where is it? |
10362 | The railway was broken, the bridges down, and where could we look for help or hospital comforts or medical necessities? |
10362 | To one in whom the spirit of adventure and romance is not dead what more attractive than an elephant hunter''s life? |
10362 | True they built the railway; but what use to a planter to build a line and rob him of his profits in the freight? |
10362 | We, however, are natural, we like to look at such things, why should we not carry them with us?" |
10362 | What are we to believe?" |
10362 | What can one do with such a people? |
10362 | What can the native do? |
10362 | What could I do but tell him the truth? |
10362 | What do you tell us when we go to early chapel in the morning? |
10362 | What is going to happen to German children? |
10362 | What more natural than that they should keep their drugs for their own troops? |
10362 | What of the two dry docks that were to make Dar- es- Salaam the only ship- repairing station on the East Coast? |
10362 | Where are our prisoners that the Belgians took in Ujiji and along the line? |
10362 | Who could blame a Hun when the British were such fools and forgery of receipts so easy? |
10362 | Who could tell their pressing need in months to come? |
10362 | Who would run his machine- gun section, if he were away, and his battalion in action? |
10362 | Will Italy forgive? |
10362 | Will the Mohammedan world condone this? |
10362 | Would you care to go for walks?" |
10362 | Would you like native servants? |
10362 | You do n''t believe these stories of German brutalities, do you?" |
10362 | what will the Belgians do when they hear the tales that are told of our German troops in Belgium? |
33625 | Says the colonel,"What are you going to do about it; are you going home now, or are you going to wait for the rest of the boys?" |
26561 | Adjutant,I said,"What does this mean-- our having to run this way? |
26561 | How are de poys? |
26561 | Huh,said he,"what is it?" |
26561 | Stillwell,asked Sam,"do you think we are going to have a fight?" |
26561 | Well, Allender,inquired Dr. Anthony,"egad, what''s the matter with you?" |
26561 | What did the Colonel say? 26561 What is that?" |
26561 | What regiment is this? |
26561 | What''s that? |
26561 | Where is he? |
26561 | ''John,''I said, speaking low,''what in thunder do you mean? |
26561 | Ai n''t that just perfectly bully?" |
26561 | Ai n''t we whipped?" |
26561 | And with whom hast thou left those few sheep in the wilderness?" |
26561 | But the lady walked towards us and said in a very kind and friendly manner:''Do you men want anything?'' |
26561 | But,--how in the world did I happen to miss him? |
26561 | D''ye moind that, now?" |
26561 | Enoch Wallace came to me and said:"Stillwell, are you going to try to carry your knapsack?" |
26561 | He looked up with an aggrieved air and responded in a tone of cruelly injured innocence,"Have n''t I the right to eat my r- a- a- tion?" |
26561 | He turned towards me, and tilting his can slightly to enable me to see the contents, spoke thus:"Now, ai n''t this nice stuff to give a sick man? |
26561 | I looked in the haversacks of some of the dead to see what they had to eat,--and what do you suppose was found? |
26561 | I said to him:"Enoch, what are those men there for?" |
26561 | I slipped out of ranks and approached the fellow, and when close to him said,"Partner, wo n''t you give me a hardtack?" |
26561 | I turned to Phil in a fury, exclaiming,"What in the hell and damnation do you mean?" |
26561 | I was filling my haversack with bologna when Col. Fry rode up to me and said:"My son, will you please give me a link of that sausage?" |
26561 | Looking at us very sharply, she asked:''Do n''t you men want something to eat?'' |
26561 | Must I just lie here and suffer indefinitely?" |
26561 | One day I said to him,"Doctor, is there nothing that can be done for me? |
26561 | Take care of my watch, will you? |
26561 | The officer scribbled in his note- book, then turned to me,"And yours?" |
26561 | What did that mean? |
26561 | What is that you say?" |
26561 | What should I do? |
26561 | What''s that?" |
26561 | What''s up, Stillwell?" |
26561 | What''s wanted?" |
26561 | Where is Sergeant Stillwell?" |
26561 | Who comes there?" |
26561 | Why do n''t you shoot?" |
26561 | and where had they come from? |
26561 | he exclaimed, as he extended his hand,"why comest thou down hither? |
30179 | What regiment? |
30179 | ("What are you doing? |
30179 | A flake of snow? |
30179 | Could they deposit their jewels in the Embassy vaults? |
30179 | Did Belgium quarrel with Germany? |
30179 | First question:"Do you get enough to eat?" |
30179 | He finally approached me, saying in English of a most perfect and pronounced British accent,"Are you an American?" |
30179 | He wore a tremendous frown and with an authoritative sweep of his arm cried:"Qu''est ce que vous faites? |
30179 | I replied,"Yes, are you a police officer? |
30179 | In order to make a pretence of conversation, one of the two captains who escorted me would sometimes say to a prisoner,"What nationality are you?" |
30179 | Second question:"How do present conditions compare with the past?" |
30179 | The war was not declared four weeks ago; how then would it be possible for the Germans already to be at Compiègne? |
30179 | Third question:"How often do you write home?" |
30179 | WHY were passports necessary? |
30179 | Was Paris safe? |
30179 | Were passports necessary? |
30179 | What more fitting, they asked, than that we neutrals should witness this celebration? |
30179 | What was"the government"going to do about sending them home? |
30179 | Would there be immediate attacks by Zeppelins? |
30179 | Would you know what"sinkim pork"might mean? |
29608 | But what can you do? 29608 How much do you weigh, colonel?" |
29608 | How much will you take for all there is in the cup? |
29608 | Mr.----,said he one morning when the officers were grouped in front of his tent in response to''officers''call,''"Mr.----, have you gloves, sir?" |
29608 | Now you know it is a rebel, do n''t you? |
29608 | Well,said I,"have you recovered and are you ready for duty?" |
29608 | What is the position? |
29608 | Where did I meet you? |
29608 | Why do you leave the hospital, then? |
29608 | You prefer to perform your duties as a good soldier, then? |
29608 | All wondered if the end had really come, or was it yet afar off? |
29608 | But where was Dahlgren? |
29608 | How about Mexico and Maximilian? |
29608 | I said to him:"Colonel, what would you do if you were in my place?" |
29608 | In the meantime, what was the infantry doing? |
29608 | May it not then be said with truth that he was"distant and detached"and"without orders that contemplate the contingency?" |
29608 | The officers were introduced, one by one, and Mr. Lincoln gave each hand a shake as he uttered a perfunctory, but kindly,"How do you do?" |
29608 | There was a cordial shaking of hands and after the first friendly greetings had been exchanged I said:"But what does this mean? |
29608 | What has been going on in the valley? |
29608 | Where is Mosby? |
29608 | Where was the enemy? |
29608 | Where were the two divisions of Gibbon, posted for the very purpose of looking out for Longstreet? |
29608 | While he was there a man named Mattoon, a good soldier, came up, and seeing Halleck, jumped over with the exclamation,"What are you doing here?" |
29608 | Who can say how much it had to do in stopping the further progress of Early''s attack? |
29608 | Who comes there?" |
29608 | Why not put hoops on and make them into barrels? |
29608 | Why then wonder if historians differ also? |
29608 | Why try to prolong the war and cause further useless bloodshed?" |
29608 | Would Lee allow that and go on to Baltimore, or turn and meet the army that Hooker was massing against him? |
29608 | Would he? |
16089 | Can you help me, sir? |
16089 | Did you foresee it? |
16089 | Fattigay? |
16089 | For what can it be intended but to attack England? |
16089 | Have you ever done any machine work before? |
16089 | How many years have we been at war? |
16089 | If I go down to the shed and say:''Girls!--there''s a bit of work the Government are pushing for-- they say they must have-- can you get it done?'' 16089 Is it possible that all this is the work of eighteen months?" |
16089 | Narpoo? 16089 Probably,"I said,"you would like to find the men?" |
16089 | So you are still, in England, taking the war lying down? |
16089 | Was he not,asks a well- known Eton master,"that tall, smiling, strong, gentle- mannered boy at White- Thomson''s?" |
16089 | Well, my boys, you could stick it all right? |
16089 | What country has ever raised over sixty per cent of its total recruitable strength, for service beyond the seas in a few months? |
16089 | What do they think we are about? |
16089 | Why are you so anxious to go to Egypt? |
16089 | Why do n''t they give more Red Crosses to the_ working nurses_? 16089 Will_ they_ come out? |
16089 | You have your passes? |
16089 | You''re Welsh, then? |
16089 | ''And what''ll our men at the front do, if we go holiday- making?'' |
16089 | A more practical religion"lifting mankind again"?--a new St. Francis, preaching the old things in new ways? |
16089 | And the New Armies?--"Kitchener''s Men"? |
16089 | And what are the results? |
16089 | And what of the Dominions? |
16089 | And yet-- was it after all so slow? |
16089 | Are we? |
16089 | Are you yet fully awake-- yet fully in earnest, in this crisis of England''s fate? |
16089 | As to Dilution, it is now accepted by the men, who said when it was proposed to them:"Why did n''t you come to us six months ago?" |
16089 | At the same moment he turned to address a young artillery- officer in the road:"Is your gun near here?" |
16089 | At the same time, what is Great Britain doing_ for her Allies_? |
16089 | But since then? |
16089 | But the war itself-- the deadly struggle of that distant line to which it all tends? |
16089 | But what are we getting for our money? |
16089 | But what of the men, the Armies, for which these munitions are being made and hurried to the fighting- lines? |
16089 | By whom has this result been brought about? |
16089 | Can we keep it up? |
16089 | Compree?" |
16089 | Could any one have made such an omelet without breaking a great many eggs? |
16089 | First-- what have the rich been doing? |
16089 | For what had we paid so sore a price? |
16089 | Hours? |
16089 | Hours? |
16089 | How far are we from them? |
16089 | If not, what sort of relations will shape themselves, and how quickly, between the Central Empires and America? |
16089 | In one of his latest letters, quoted by a friend in a short biography, Robert Palmer wrote:--"Who is n''t weary to death of the war? |
16089 | Is it defects of administration, or a certain"cussedness"in the Scotch character, which resents any tightening of law? |
16089 | Knows what? |
16089 | May n''t they be glad of it some day? |
16089 | Meanwhile, what has Germany been doing in her shipyards all this time? |
16089 | Seafaring, tillage, house- building, horse- taming, so muses Sophocles, two thousand three hundred years ago; how did man ever find them out? |
16089 | Shall I always regret that lost opportunity? |
16089 | The great Allied attack on the West-- was it ready,_ at last_? |
16089 | The shell has sped on its way to the German trenches-- with what result to human flesh and blood? |
16089 | The temper of the nation? |
16089 | Was the return adequate, and not only to our safety, but to our prestige? |
16089 | Was your own vast levy in the Civil War without them? |
16089 | What are these lines of light among the pine woods? |
16089 | What is Dilution? |
16089 | What is it that alone has secured us the time to make the effort we have made? |
16089 | What is the proof of this-- the proof which history will accept as final-- against the vain and lying pleas of Germany? |
16089 | What of the mothers who reared them, the schools and universities which sent them forth?--the comrades who are making ready to carry on their work? |
16089 | What of the_ young_, of all classes and opportunities, who have laid down their lives in this war? |
16089 | What strange moving bodies are those, scudding along over the dim surface, like the ghosts of sea planes? |
16089 | What vast and effective stir, for a great end, was ever made in the world without them? |
16089 | What will happen? |
16089 | When has our naval supremacy ever hurt them? |
16089 | When will they come out?" |
16089 | Where was my friend who had hoped to come for me himself? |
16089 | Where was the boat? |
16089 | Will Germany give way? |
16089 | Will he recover? |
3383 | He took the boy''s wrist between his thumb and finger, and asked tenderly as he leaned over him,"Poco mejor?" |
3383 | How is it the great pieces of good luck fall to us? |
3383 | Shall I say that a sense of something domestic, something homelike, imparted itself from what I had seen? |
33718 | Do you remember Sergeant----, of Company----? |
33718 | Yes, Colonel, I do; what about him? |
33718 | In such a state of public feeling what could I, a young unmarried man, do consistent with a fair amount of self- respect but enlist? |
33718 | Some papers and letters in my pockets supported the testimony of my host, and after considerable time spent in examining them, my brave(?) |
28241 | And what did he say? |
28241 | And what did you do then? |
28241 | Are you,they asked,"going to B.?" |
28241 | Do you know her? |
28241 | Do you mean,I said,"that no train ever goes there?" |
28241 | He''s little, but he''s wise, And he does not advertise, Do you, Bobs? |
28241 | How am I to get there? |
28241 | How many men have you? |
28241 | Is it true that the cavalry are through? |
28241 | What does your party consist of? |
28241 | What sort of a passage? |
28241 | Behind the laughter-- who knows? |
28241 | But what words can I find? |
28241 | Can I get a drink?" |
28241 | Did ever men before fix such a name on the country for which they fight? |
28241 | Did ever men do greater things than these? |
28241 | Does Fritz, drafted into a regiment commanded by him, march forward serenely confident of victory? |
28241 | Have the German soldiers any kind of confidence in his star? |
28241 | He speaks:"What the----? |
28241 | How will they deal with the ordinary politician? |
28241 | In what mood, with what spirit does the soldier, the man in the ranks, go forth into the night to his supremely great adventure? |
28241 | In what school of what remote province did he learn to construe and repeats bits of the_ Æneid_? |
28241 | Is not England mistress of the seas? |
28241 | Is that the sort of way the fighting men thought of the staff after Neuve Chapelle? |
28241 | Is the kingdom of heaven best advanced by men who strike the world as being"padres"or by"turbulent priests"? |
28241 | Sentry:"Who goes there?" |
28241 | Then one of the men said"Beg pardon, sir, but do you know who we are?" |
28241 | There is a man towards the end of the evening who wins one unmistakably with an inimitable burlesque of"Alice, where art thou?" |
28241 | What am I to do?" |
28241 | What did they think when day after day they retreated at top speed? |
28241 | What does rain matter? |
28241 | What part of the train do you think I ought to get into?" |
28241 | What shall I do?" |
28241 | What supplication fits the time and place? |
28241 | What would that butter cost in France?" |
28241 | When the----? |
28241 | Where the----?" |
28241 | Why the----? |
28241 | Will the boat start? |
28241 | Will you take a letter for us? |
28241 | You ca n''t expect me to take it there just to suit you?" |
28241 | _ Compris?_''Second British Soldier:''You leave it to me, Bill. |
28241 | or what do gales matter? |
28241 | where you were to go?" |
33241 | Could I not and can I not now expose the hollow misery of the sham, the real nature of which is as plain as the noon- day sun? |
33241 | Could they not have legally coerced me to keep the peace? |
33241 | Do they perhaps think their conduct so outrageous, that the meekness of Moses could no longer endure it without resentment? |
33241 | What must be their effect if they continue for months? |
33241 | What would Humboldt, Grimm, Ampère, Burnouf, and some of our other friends on the other side of the water say to such proceedings? |
31353 | About noon he came to me and said,"Fuller, can you stand some good news?" |
31353 | And what would he say? |
31353 | As we were working our way to the front he spoke to me, and said,"Charley, am I hurt much?" |
31353 | He at once roared out,"Who ordered you to lie down? |
31353 | He had read the account, and I said to him,"Of course, you remember it?" |
31353 | He replied,"Do n''t you want them to come down here?" |
31353 | He said,"Some one has come to see you?" |
31353 | I lay there in semi- consciousness, until the rear guard came along, when I was accosted with the question,"What are you here for?" |
31353 | I said to him,"Are you badly wounded, Frank?" |
31353 | I stooped down and said,"Lieutenant, do you think you are mortally wounded?" |
31353 | I was making my way to the rear when one of the officers turned up his head and said to me,"Where in the devil are you trying to get to?" |
31353 | It was too dark to see anything, but our ears took in every word of the question asked,"What regiment is that?" |
31353 | King?" |
31353 | Of what avail all our unceasing and exhaustless endurance? |
31353 | Of what avail had it been to us that our best blood had flowed for six long days? |
31353 | One old Irishman of Co. A, turned on me in hot anger, and asked,"Why do you say that? |
31353 | The captain wiggled about some and then asked,"How do you know men, do you see the blood run?" |
31353 | The question I asked myself was,"Why not test your leg gear NOW, and see what you can do as a foot- man?" |
31353 | This was delightful information, and made us feel very jolly--"over the left?" |
31353 | What are you crouching for?" |
31353 | Where are the other 80? |
31353 | While we were all on the qui vive, wondering what would come next, a voice broke forth from the woods clear and distinct,"What regiment is that?" |
31353 | Who would answer? |
31353 | was yee''s_ intinded_ for me?" |
34069 | --Is Ginger a bad fellow? |
34069 | Arab population of Kut(?) |
34069 | As one went past, he would lean over and whisper confidentially:"Ginger fennah?" |
34069 | He took in our story, but asked some awkward questions, such as why we carried no revolvers? |
34069 | Is it not a pity that you still go on assisting them? |
34069 | Is that all the respect and share of wealth for the sake of which we should let them enjoy our country? |
31075 | Are there any of Company D of the Eleventh Reserves here? |
31075 | Do you see that thing? |
31075 | Well, what the---- did you wake us up for, to tell us that? |
31075 | Why, you---- lunatic, are n''t two sleeps better than one? |
31075 | A child may pronounce it; but what word that ever fell from human lips has a meaning full of such intensity of horror as this little word? |
31075 | Are we a civilized people? |
31075 | As he was picking his way stealthily among the dead and dying, he heard a well known voice calling softly near by,"Joe, Joe, is that you?" |
31075 | But the soap mines? |
31075 | But where_ was_ rear? |
31075 | Do these careless men realize that they are about to decide the fate of a great nation? |
31075 | George Preston was there, his face as honest and bright as in boyhood''s days; and George Dillinger-- or was his name Hugh? |
31075 | Had death come more swiftly and mercifully, or was he a prisoner and unharmed? |
31075 | Had he been disabled that first day in the wilderness and perished in the flames of the burning woods? |
31075 | Had he been mortally wounded, and died alone in the thick underbrush which veiled so many tragic scenes? |
31075 | Had he known that the midsummer sun would look down upon his grave, would his decision have been different? |
31075 | Have you heard their solemn songs? |
31075 | He looked at us with a frightened, helpless look, and asked:"You wo n''t hurt me, will you?" |
31075 | How was it done? |
31075 | Is it possible to eliminate the tiger from human nature? |
31075 | Looking at me intently a moment, his face brightened, and he exclaimed:"You are Rob M''Bride, are n''t you?" |
31075 | Perhaps they are unconscious of the greatness of the present hour; but what of that? |
31075 | Psalm singing? |
31075 | Was this night given over to ghosts and spirits intangible? |
31075 | What is civilization? |
31075 | What man of ordinary humanity can be unmoved by such surroundings? |
31075 | Where was any thing? |
31075 | Where was front? |
31075 | Why do n''t these men come on?" |
31075 | Why so? |
31075 | Why were not the videttes, at least, advanced into the underbrush, instead of being posted at its edge, to be shot at by rebel sharpshooters? |
31075 | [*] 2D WELDON RAILROAD,{ 190th,} Captain Birkman.(?) |
32595 | No-- are they? |
32595 | Am I not in the hands of a merciful God who has promised to take care of the widow and orphan? |
32595 | Did you ever see one before?" |
32595 | I thank God that they are freed, and yet what can I do with them? |
32595 | Is this the way to make us love them and their Union? |
32595 | Sadai[ Mrs. Burge''s nine- year- old daughter] said:"Oh, Mama, what shall we do?" |
32595 | Shall I ever forget the deliverance? |
32595 | Shall we be a nation or shall we be annihilated?... |
32595 | They asked about our soldiers and, passing themselves off as Wheeler''s men, said:"Have you seen any of our men go by?" |
32595 | What must it have been to the woman and the little girl living on these acres, in this very house? |
32595 | What provision can I make? |
32595 | What shall I do? |
32595 | What will be our future? |
32595 | Where go? |
32595 | Who are you?" |
32595 | Why must the innocent suffer with the guilty? |
32595 | Will another year find us among carnage and bloodshed? |
26884 | Dost thou know,_ mon ami_, that when we captured that German battery a few days ago, we found the gunners chained to their guns? |
26884 | How long have you been engaged in this work of mercy? 26884 How long is it since I have been wounded? |
26884 | Once more? |
26884 | What are_ you_ here for? 26884 And hast thou ever heard the guns, nearer than this safe point behind the lines? 26884 And so many blood- vessels being dead, being scooped away by that sharp curette, how could the blood circulate in the top half of that flaccid thigh? 26884 And the patients, who missed him, asked:Where is Fouquet? |
26884 | And what do you know about illness such as mine? |
26884 | And what knowledge dost thou bring to thy task, thou ignorant grocer''s clerk? |
26884 | And why art thou there, my friend? |
26884 | Besides, who could have suspected at first that these two girls were spies? |
26884 | But do they enlist? |
26884 | But what mercy had we? |
26884 | Ca n''t you see? |
26884 | Calling that the Generals are coming, both of them, together? |
26884 | Could one cherish standards so noble, yet be himself so ignoble, so petty, so commonplace? |
26884 | Courageous dreams of freedom and patriotism? |
26884 | Did you come for me ten hours ago, when I needed you? |
26884 | Do I not know how to drive, to manage an engine? |
26884 | Do n''t you see that his bed and the bed next are covered with rubber sheets? |
26884 | Do you think he''s thinking of the Germans? |
26884 | Had he seen so much suffering_ en gros_ that it meant nothing to him_ en detail_? |
26884 | Have I not conducted a Paris taxi for these past ten years? |
26884 | Have you ever watched the village girls when a regiment comes through, or stops for a night or two,_ en repos_, on its way to the Front? |
26884 | Have you seen the girls make fools of themselves over the men? |
26884 | How can they do it, these old men? |
26884 | How could one live with such pain as that? |
26884 | How do they get there, to the Zone of the Armies? |
26884 | How much honour lay in that? |
26884 | Is that Erard, calling? |
26884 | My head in mud, my blood warm under me? |
26884 | Only, why does he talk so incessantly about his wife, and show her pictures to me, to everyone about the place? |
26884 | Opposition from whom? |
26884 | Or was this his attitude to all suffering? |
26884 | Punished?" |
26884 | See that man in the bed next? |
26884 | So thou goest to jail, then to the_ Bataillon d''Afrique_, and the wine flows, and thy Mimi-- where is she? |
26884 | Something different this time? |
26884 | The surgeon of the French hospital said:"What have we to do with this?" |
26884 | Thou bidst me be quiet,_ sale embusqué_?" |
26884 | To see me, with my bowels running on the ground? |
26884 | Was this the Nation''s attitude to the suffering of their sons? |
26884 | Were they finer, nobler, than he? |
26884 | What are they here for-- France? |
26884 | What else could he say, knowing that there were eighteen little holes, cut by the bullet, leaking poison into that gashed, distended abdomen? |
26884 | Wherein lay the difference? |
26884 | Who''s There? |
26884 | Why should we all be bored with tales of Simon''s stupid wife, when that''s all she means to him? |
26884 | Yet did they contrast, after all? |
26884 | Yet had they? |
26884 | Yet if so, how could such beliefs fail to influence their daily lives? |
32177 | Are you? 32177 But we''ll see you in Bordeaux wo n''t we, Miss Shortall?" |
32177 | Do n''t any of you boys play or sing? |
32177 | Do you play the guitar? |
32177 | Now shall we give the lady a song? |
32177 | The officers danced all night, why ca n''t we? |
32177 | Well, Sis, how are you standing it? |
32177 | Where will you get the girls? |
32177 | And one boy who kept hanging round all day taking it all in, said,"What''d you go to all that trouble for? |
32177 | Do you want the job?" |
32177 | Est- ce vrai que la vie est l''amour de mourir?" |
32177 | How would you like to send all your copies of"Life"and any other magazines to me instead of to the great unknown? |
32177 | Let''s see; what else have I been doing? |
32177 | Now does n''t that sound like a happy Easter? |
32177 | Ou se cache- t- elle, dis- moi? |
32177 | Whenever I passed, some one would call out,"Miss, ai n''t you gwine to play for us?" |
32177 | Where to get the girls? |
32177 | and"Est- ce vrai que la mort est une vie immense? |
32177 | well what do you play?" |
34889 | He came in due time, and asked if he might smoke my big pipe? |
34889 | One of our smart Alicks sung out to him,"I say, Johnny Reb., why do n''t you wear better clothes?" |
34889 | Ten thousand questions were asked of those who had been wounded,"how goes the battle?" |
34889 | The people of Harrisburg asked:"has Michigan sent another Regiment equipped?" |
28116 | But wo n''t you have difficulties with Quebec? |
28116 | But you do n''t mean that Canada is going to take an active part in the war? |
28116 | Colonel Currie,he said,"How many men of this kind have you with you? |
28116 | Do you think that three years''residence in Canada entitles you to abuse your countrymen, and call them''fat- headed Englishmen''? |
28116 | FredMacdonald''s question to me would always be,"How long are they going to keep us at this rotten trench business?" |
28116 | He must have been somebody important to have such a fine monument? |
28116 | How is it all going to end? |
28116 | How is the Scotch? |
28116 | How is your bloody Ross Rifle? |
28116 | Is your establishment complete? |
28116 | My husband is in one of the Highland Regiments, perhaps you have seen his battalion, the Argyles? |
28116 | Perhaps you are from the war, Sir? |
28116 | Was he the man who wrote the dictionary? |
28116 | What shell? |
28116 | What''s the matter? |
28116 | Who was this Salisbury? |
28116 | Who was this chap Goldsmith? 28116 Why are they throwing away so much good ammunition?" |
28116 | Will you let me have the bullet as a souvenir? |
28116 | CHAPTER X HIS MAJESTY THE KING, AND FIELD MARSHAL THE RIGHT HONORABLE VISCOUNT KITCHENER"Did they bury him standing on his head, or the other way on?" |
28116 | Have you all the Toronto Highlanders with you?" |
28116 | He asked quite coolly,"Where is Major MacKenzie? |
28116 | In the afternoon after the review I met Canon Scott, who had lost(?) |
28116 | In the meantime what steps were being taken to succor the hard pressed 3rd Brigade? |
28116 | No sooner was a man in uniform than everybody began asking him the question"When are you going to the Front?" |
28116 | Or, was it petty parish politics? |
28116 | The great question for a few days was, would Canada be allowed to send a contingent to serve with the Allies? |
28116 | The question everybody was asking of the men in khaki was"When are you going to the Front?" |
28116 | They all anchored apart in a separate part of the harbor, and the signaller on the Admiral''s ship amused himself by signalling,"Is your bar open?" |
28116 | This re- acts on the men, and with everyone asking"When are you going to the Front?" |
28116 | Was he the first pawnbroker, or the man who invented watches?" |
28116 | Was it some individual? |
28116 | Was it the old Colonial policy? |
28116 | We listened and it came across"Are we down- hearted? |
28116 | We were all glad to get away, for it was becoming monotonous having everybody we met asking"When are you going away?" |
28116 | What is a listening post? |
28116 | What is a sap? |
28116 | What is the use of these invasions, these fierce raids by the Germans? |
28116 | What would it be when we got to the latitude of Toronto? |
28116 | What would old Sir Francis have said at this sight if he had lived to- day? |
28116 | When they saw Aubers tower disappear in a cloud of dust they inquired again,"What bally gunners are those?" |
28116 | When would the supporting troops and artillery come? |
28116 | Who was responsible for this great criminal folly? |
28116 | Why did not the Canadians retire when they found the Germans were in such force and determined to take their trenches? |
28116 | Why did you, with those two little children, let your husband go to the war?" |
28116 | Why should it? |
28116 | Why then should Britain be asked to disarm and turn over the business of maintaining the world''s peace to the Hun and the Turk? |
35578 | My reply is,"I do; but what are fifteen dollars a month toward supporting a man and wife?" |
36204 | Whereat I asked, have you not enjoyed your usual good health and happy intercourse with your devoted daughters and friends? |
18765 | And is that the way you think of the men of your own blood and race? |
18765 | And this? |
18765 | And this? |
18765 | Be ye sellin''tablecloths? |
18765 | Do n''t you think you''re rather hard on Pemberton? 18765 Do yours know it?" |
18765 | H., do you think these can be the Federal soldiers? |
18765 | Has the owner been consulted? |
18765 | Have I not done so as soon as you rung? 18765 Heard the news?" |
18765 | How can you speak so plainly before them? |
18765 | How do I know who you are? 18765 I wonder,"said Annie,"when I shall ever have nicely starched clothes after these? |
18765 | Is he here? |
18765 | Is it true about the surrender? |
18765 | Is that so, general? |
18765 | Max, what interest has a man like you, without slaves, in a war for slavery? 18765 Mrs. L.,"she said, turning to me,"are you not going to send your husband? |
18765 | So, Mike, you are really going to be a soldier? |
18765 | That''s my kind, considerate wife,replied Mr. D."Why did n''t I think of that before? |
18765 | Then where did you get them blue pantaloons? |
18765 | Well, H.,I questioned, as we walked home after crossing the lake,"can you stand the pressure, or shall you be forced into volunteering?" |
18765 | Well, is the war over? |
18765 | What can this mean, H.? 18765 What do you mean?" |
18765 | What is the news? |
18765 | What room is that? |
18765 | Where can he be found? |
18765 | Who are you? 18765 Who got out last night?" |
18765 | Who has done this? |
18765 | Who lives here? |
18765 | Why did n''t you open the door? |
18765 | Why do you fear so? |
18765 | Why, what matter? 18765 Will he furnish another house also?" |
18765 | Will you fire on an unarmed man? 18765 Wish to search for arms? |
18765 | You are right, madam; and besides, when our women are so willing to brave death and endure discomfort, how can we ever be conquered? |
18765 | You felt with the South at first; who has changed you? |
18765 | 10 is gone?" |
18765 | A white man, standing in the stern, with two negroes paddling, replied:"What did you fire on us for? |
18765 | Are the populace turning out to greet the despised conquerors?" |
18765 | As he was roused up, he asked:"Marse John, whar is you, and whar is you goin''? |
18765 | Aunt Judy goes about in a dignified silence, too full for words, only asking two or three times,"W''at I done tole you fum de fust?" |
18765 | Ca n''t I have yours, G.? |
18765 | Could the gentleman tell me where I could get a canoe and some one to go with me? |
18765 | H. said:"This is strangely quiet, Mr. L.""Ah, sir,"shaking his head gloomily,"I''m afraid(?) |
18765 | Has n''t Pemberton acted like a fool?" |
18765 | He responded,"Who are you?" |
18765 | He responded,"Yes; and you are Captain Hines, are you not?" |
18765 | How can they ever take a town that has such advantages for defense and protection as this? |
18765 | I replied,"Yes; and what is your name?" |
18765 | I wonder if it is to keep up their spirits? |
18765 | It wraps me like a soft garment; how else can I express this peace?" |
18765 | L.?" |
18765 | Morgan ordered their capture, saying,"What will those Yankees do with the thousand men I have?" |
18765 | Morgan, and Allen[ Ward? |
18765 | One of Shackelford''s officers rode across the field and inquired,"What are you fools shooting at?" |
18765 | Presently Mr. J. passed and called:"Are n''t you coming, Mr. L.? |
18765 | Receiving a sharp negative in reply, he continued,"Well, can Tom get to stay all night?" |
18765 | The general rose, saying,"Yes, indeed, Tom, I will; but where is the rum?" |
18765 | The guard called,"Who goes there?" |
18765 | The preacher''s text was,"Shall we have fellowship with the stool of iniquity which frameth mischief as a law?" |
18765 | The question at once arose, What was the best course to pursue? |
18765 | Want to see''em? |
18765 | Were you not convinced?" |
18765 | What are you doing here?" |
18765 | What is it?" |
18765 | What news?" |
18765 | What other man could sustain such losses with so little embarrassment?" |
18765 | What proof is there in this dark hour that they are not right? |
18765 | What sustains you when nobody agrees with you?" |
18765 | When I answered,"Well, what do you expect? |
18765 | Why did he not go on? |
18765 | Why did n''t you tell dem folks who you was?" |
18765 | Why is it so easy for them and not for me to"ring out the old, ring in the new"? |
18765 | Would he be kind enough to show me the way there, that I might get an early start and keep my engagement? |
18765 | Would it be wise like the scorpion to sting ourselves to death? |
18765 | _ April 28._--I never understood before the full force of those questions-- What shall we eat? |
18765 | almost stuttering from surprise and anger,"are you aware I had the right to break down this door if you had n''t opened it?" |
18765 | and wherewithal shall we be clothed? |
18765 | inquired H."Are arrangements for surrender made?" |
18765 | what shall we drink? |
33280 | As we were riding through this division, the men called out,"What regiment is that?" |
33280 | He looked so badly that I asked him what the matter was, when he replied,"Have n''t you heard the news?" |
33280 | He then said,"Well, what is it?" |
33280 | I had been polite in my remarks to her when she turned upon me and asked,"Are n''t you from New Orleans?" |
33280 | Inquiring,"Whom have you got there?" |
33280 | Looking up, General Grant quietly asked,"I assume you have questioned him?" |
33280 | On admitting it, he said,"Do you know the chapter General Washington always used to read before he went into a fight?" |
33280 | This officer leaned forward and said in an earnest manner,"Whose cavalry is this?" |
33280 | When she had said this several times an Irishman of my company remarked,"And who the divil is he anyhow?" |
33280 | You see their line across this clearing?" |
31453 | Did the colored troops fight much? |
31453 | How long have you known him? |
31453 | Now, sir; I ask you a direct question: Do you believe a Negro has got a character? |
31453 | Then if ye had two hogs would ye give me one? |
31453 | Then if ye had two horses, would ye give me one? |
31453 | Well, Cap''n, if you say so, reckon I''ll have to move; but what you goin''to do when we all gits to heaven? |
31453 | Well, sir; what is his character? |
31453 | What did the Colonel say? |
31453 | What sort of a man was Jones? |
31453 | What you- ens doin''dar? 31453 At Raleigh I can jest walk right into the Governor''s office and nobody''ll say, Where you gwine? 31453 Barney says,Pat, if ye had two homes, would ye give me one?" |
31453 | Den he say,"And what is your business here?" |
31453 | Do n''t you see its the easiest place to live you ever saw? |
31453 | He:"And where do I get my marbles?" |
31453 | He:"Do I get marbles?" |
31453 | He:"Salute how?" |
31453 | I said,"Ai n''t you a Pennsylvanian?" |
31453 | Jones?" |
31453 | Now what can we do with the Negro? |
31453 | One big, red- whiskered fellow said to me:"What you fellers doing back here so far in the rear?" |
31453 | Solicitor:"Do you know this man?" |
31453 | The young men looked puzzled and one said,''And where would we get the corn?'' |
31453 | Then I retorted:"You are putting it off for six months now, are you? |
31453 | Then one says,''And how could we get the turkeys to market?'' |
31453 | They inquired,"Did you get your marbles?" |
31453 | What greater sacrifice can any people show? |
31453 | When he had had an insight of the coveted goal and turned in that direction, he was accosted by a harsh voice,"Whar ye goin''?" |
31453 | Which type of civilization would endure? |
31453 | Would the soldier and aristocrat, or the merchant and artisan, survive in the struggle which had already begun? |
32268 | The question is often asked,''Who is responsible for this calamity?'' 32268 And have not these border counties a right to expect such protection? 32268 And reproaches_ for what_? 32268 But you ask:Was not General Averill near enough to have prevented the rebels from executing their nefarious design upon your town? |
32268 | He followed her some distance, and leaning down, asked her earnestly,''Madam, ca n''t I save something for you?'' |
32268 | Is not the Government pledged, after it has taken their men and their money, to afford them protection, so far as it has ability? |
32268 | Is your revenge sweet?'' |
32268 | Reproaches-- and from_ whom_ and_ whence_? |
32268 | Said he:"Do you belong to this house?" |
32268 | The Chaplain said to me,"Do you reside in this house?" |
32268 | We have a home and can get another; but can you spare no homes for those poor, helpless people and their children? |
32268 | Would it not invite to pillage and arson and murder? |
32268 | and, if so, why did not General Couch inform him of the situation of affairs, and urge him forward?" |
17206 | Are you an Australian officer? |
17206 | Could n''t we find him for you? |
17206 | Here, Pat, what on earth did you do with Fritz? |
17206 | How long have you been in the trenches? |
17206 | Sea, sea, why are you angry with me? 17206 They''re fools, you say? |
17206 | Well, do you know that I am supposed to be the---- colonel? |
17206 | Well, why do n''t you take your men in hand? |
17206 | What tent is my brother in, d''you know? |
17206 | What the h---- are you makin''all that row about? |
17206 | Why? 17206 ''But I have n''t missed a scrap,''says I,''since I was one- and- twenty, And shall I miss the biggest? 17206 A snobbish English officer came up to this man who happened to be only a private, and said:What are you doing in here, my man?" |
17206 | And had you been there and these your men, would n''t you love them as I do? |
17206 | Blood on the sword, our eyes blood- red, Blind in our puny reign of power, Do we forget how soon is sped One little hour? |
17206 | Blood on the sword, our eyes blood- red, Blind in our puny reign of power, Do we forget how soon is sped One little hour? |
17206 | But what if they had been? |
17206 | But who can tell which holds the more peril for the soldier? |
17206 | But"could he be depended on?" |
17206 | Ca n''t I get you anything?" |
17206 | Did heaven intervene? |
17206 | Did the Germans destroy it or was it the rats that undermined its foundations? |
17206 | Down at the gate the picket was having a busy time answering questions:"Could you tell me where I will find Private McIntosh?" |
17206 | Go home to Australia and tell them I had been in London and not seen St. Paul''s, or the Abbey, or anything? |
17206 | Had we not forgotten in our countries that the democracy that we boast of is no credit to us because it was won by the blood of other men? |
17206 | Has Germany shown signs of repentance yet? |
17206 | Has n''t our luck been out ever since we left Australia?" |
17206 | He complained in the end to our brigadier, but the answer he got was:"What are you there for? |
17206 | He said to me:"Do you see that battery down there?" |
17206 | He will ask:"Is that dinkum news?" |
17206 | How did they do it? |
17206 | How was any one left alive? |
17206 | I asked:"Why is it my leg is dead?" |
17206 | I have gone along the trench and kicked and punched my boys into sensibility, and said:"Is there anything I can do for you, boys? |
17206 | I remember one sentry failing to recognize the Commander- in- chief, and presently the colonel spoke to him thus:"What are you doing here, my man?" |
17206 | I said to him;"Pat, what on earth are you doing with Fritz?" |
17206 | I spat question after question at him:"What''s your regiment?" |
17206 | If he had not called out,"Who the hell are you?" |
17206 | In those days the orderly officer would go round with his question of"Any complaints?" |
17206 | Into every heart crept the dread of what might await us down there, and to every mind came the question:"When are we going?" |
17206 | It must be that right has_ physical_ might, else why did n''t the Kaiser get to Paris? |
17206 | One day their major came along to us in a great rage, and wanted to know why we were always stirring up trouble-- couldn''t we let well enough alone? |
17206 | Shall not the mingling blood of Frenchmen, Britons, and Americans make the flowers of peace to grow? |
17206 | So many months was I there that they were something like a home to me, and who knew what was awaiting one in another and an unknown section? |
17206 | Some one called out,"Where?" |
17206 | Tell me, where are we going to replace these men? |
17206 | The blood of him who to you was more precious than any prince or king that ever lived has been poured out like water and uselessly"? |
17206 | The gods love romance, else why was the youngest nation of earth tried out on the oldest battlefield of history? |
17206 | The rustle of grass, or the passing quiver Of one of the ghosts of No Man''s Land?" |
17206 | Then when the great- hearted, plain- faced doctor who was attending to me said,"How''s the man of many wounds this morning?" |
17206 | There were occasions, however, when some one would call out from the ships:"D''you know Private Brown of the Yorkshires?" |
17206 | To no one in particular our fellows would remark,"Why, look? |
17206 | Was it just the shiver Of an eerie wind or a clammy hand? |
17206 | Was there ever a more favorable setting for a massacre? |
17206 | Was this like the darkness after Calvary? |
17206 | We could understand them as eating quarters, but where were we to sleep? |
17206 | We had achieved the impossible in landing-- why did we not in the many months we were there, do the comparatively easy thing and advance? |
17206 | We were now well at sea and the general cry was in the words of the song:"Sea, sea, why are you angry with me?" |
17206 | What do you think of that?" |
17206 | What do you think of this?" |
17206 | What if he had been yours? |
17206 | What makes real friendship between men? |
17206 | What means this eager, anxious thrill? |
17206 | What was that? |
17206 | What will we do?" |
17206 | What''s your business?" |
17206 | When she discovered where I was, she said:"Who gave you permission to come in here?" |
17206 | Where are you going?" |
17206 | Where''d you come from? |
17206 | While other nations make their colonies_ pay_ for the protection they give them, the British people pay very heavily for the privilege(?) |
17206 | Who is there that is not abashed in the presence of a spirit like that? |
17206 | Who would not turn round on seeing an R. S. V. P. eye in a face whose veil enhanced the beauty it did not hide? |
17206 | Why?" |
17206 | With excitement in my voice I said to the officer in charge:"Do you know that there is a mine under here?" |
17206 | Would they, had they not been captured early in the war, have changed and become like the vile, cowardly sharks that infest the seas in U- boats? |
17206 | Would you then have felt as bitter as these people? |
17003 | Have you seen them? |
17003 | What do you mean by deceiving me? |
17003 | And yet what did this mean? |
17003 | Are they traces of a forgotten siege? |
17003 | But about the trains-- why are they stopping? |
17003 | But could anything have dared to move to us? |
17003 | But for how long? |
17003 | But the ultimatum-- what is it, and against whom is it so summarily directed? |
17003 | But will this last? |
17003 | Does he not know his history? |
17003 | Everybody was obviously making for the north of the city; what was going on in the other quarters to cause this exodus? |
17003 | Foolish bishop he is, is he not, when Christians have been expressly born to be massacred? |
17003 | From whence came that shot? |
17003 | Had they seen me? |
17003 | Have you ever heard a high- velocity machine- gun firing down deserted and gloomy thorough- fares? |
17003 | How could it have been? |
17003 | How long will this last?... |
17003 | I asked for them-- where were they kept? |
17003 | I began to ask myself this question: Were we really playing an immense comedy, or was there a great and terrible peril menacing us? |
17003 | I know that half of them are much upset at the_ role_ they are being forced to play, but who can help them? |
17003 | I waited patiently to see how they proposed to solve this problem-- did they wish a bold, open, frontal attack or an underground plot? |
17003 | In all the clouds of dust and smoke around them, how can they understand? |
17003 | Is it always thus with faith? |
17003 | Is it good to hope on a 13th, or is it mere foolishness to thing about such things? |
17003 | Is it only the power not to be afraid which makes one a hero? |
17003 | Is it true that they are losing courage? |
17003 | Is it true, or is it merely a mistake, such as life- loving man most naturally makes? |
17003 | Is not the South African War still proceeding, and has England not enough troubles without this additional one? |
17003 | It means... what the devil does it mean? |
17003 | K---- was manifestly plotting for those watches; it was not my business-- what did it matter to me if he took everything there was? |
17003 | Marines, sailors, and Legation juniors groaned; was this opportunity to be missed? |
17003 | Meanwhile, is there anything special for me to chronicle? |
17003 | Now do you wonder about our clocks and our watches, and our time? |
17003 | Of course the Boxers coming in openly through the gates can not be true, and yet-- shades of Genghis Khan and all his Tartars, what is that? |
17003 | Otherwise, why had they been brought? |
17003 | Passers- by, did I say? |
17003 | Somehow my heart sank within me at this; was it too late? |
17003 | Suddenly a quiet voice said to him in French out of the gloom:"_ Monsieur desire quelque chose? |
17003 | They had not made anything-- was not that a sufficient excuse for any behaviour? |
17003 | They wanted to go to the British Legation; not to this place-- what was it; where was the British Legation? |
17003 | Was all the world still asleep, tired from the night''s debauch, or was it merely the end of everything? |
17003 | Was it really so? |
17003 | We are still on speaking terms with the Chinese Government, but who knows what the morrow may bring? |
17003 | Were they white troops at last-- were they Bannermen of the white Banners?... |
17003 | Were we trapped? |
17003 | What could I do?... |
17003 | What course should we take, if the attack was suddenly carried all round our area? |
17003 | What did it matter? |
17003 | What did that door mean? |
17003 | What did this fleeing to the north of the city and this ominous quiet mean? |
17003 | What did this mean? |
17003 | What did we wish? |
17003 | What had happened to all the inhabitants? |
17003 | What has happened to justify all this, you will ask? |
17003 | What in the name of all that is extraordinary was happening to cause these strange doings? |
17003 | What is going to happen? |
17003 | What is the use of depriving one''s self for the common good later on under such circumstances? |
17003 | What is to be the next thing? |
17003 | What should we do-- push on or go back? |
17003 | What was it? |
17003 | What were these newcomers? |
17003 | What, indeed, did it matter? |
17003 | What, then, has happened? |
17003 | Where had the famed Boxers vanished to? |
17003 | Where the devil were our relieving columns? |
17003 | Where were the Russians, the Italians, and the Germans? |
17003 | Where were they all?... |
17003 | Who has not heard that pleasant sound? |
17003 | Who was to go? |
17003 | Who would not rob a fleeing Emperor of his possessions? |
17003 | Why have they wives, you will ask, since they are only half men, and can not perform the duties of the male? |
17003 | Why should so many be called-- why should we die thus in a hole?... |
17003 | Why should the obvious be so often discovered? |
17003 | Why, you will ask? |
17003 | Wife of a eunuch, did I say? |
17003 | Will not something happen which will fling our enemy against us animated by one desire--a desire to slay us one and all? |
17003 | With a natural impulse, everybody''s attention became concentrated on this fugitive: would he reach cover in safety? |
17003 | Would I go? |
17003 | Would it have been safety? |
17003 | Yet can one ever forget? |
17003 | Yet, what could be done-- what steps could be taken? |
17003 | You remember the V- shaped barricade garrisoned by Russian sailors, I spoke about a few days ago? |
17003 | mais ou est l''or?_"It was almost pitiful to hear him repeat these words again and again like a child. |
17003 | was I no longer to experience that supreme delight of shooting and being shot at-- of that unending excitement? |
17003 | was it really over?... |
19655 | ''Ard? 19655 ''Ave you joined up, matey?" |

19655 | Ai n''t we got no pigs in England? |
19655 | An''at''ome they''re a- s''yin'',''W''y do n''t they get on with it? |
19655 | And to- morrow, when the war is ended, who will come marching home again, old campaigners, war- worn remnants of once mighty armies? |
19655 | Anything new?" |
19655 | Are we downhearted?" |
19655 | But of what avail were cupboards to a jam- loving and jam- fed British army living in open ditches in the summer time? |
19655 | But the question is, Who need them most? |
19655 | Ca n''t you get me back to the ambulance? |
19655 | Do you think it''ll''ave to come off? |
19655 | Frequently they shouted,"Got any''woodbines,''Tommy?" |
19655 | I was deeply touched when one of them said:--"Ai n''t''e a plucky little chap, singin''right in front of Fritzie''s trenches fer us English blokes?" |
19655 | I''m arskin''you, ai n''t''e?" |
19655 | IS WAR DIMINISHING? |
19655 | If the Germans is so bloomin''rotten,''ow is it we ai n''t a- fightin''''em sommers along the Rhine, or in Austry- Hungry? |
19655 | In England, before I knew him for the man he is, I said,"How am I to endure living with him?" |
19655 | Not bad, wot?" |
19655 | Not''arf bad, wot?" |
19655 | Or was it the blood of military forebears asserting itself after many years of inanition? |
19655 | Our first question was, of course,"How far is it to the German lines?" |
19655 | See wot I mean?" |
19655 | See''i m? |
19655 | Service? |
19655 | Shall I bring''em over or will you come an''fetch''em?" |
19655 | Soldiers? |
19655 | Sometimes they shouted:--"Any of you from London?" |
19655 | Tell me old lady I''m still up an''comin'', will you? |
19655 | That ai n''t so dusty, Freddie, wot?" |
19655 | The Stites?" |
19655 | Then, turning to the men behind,--"''Ave you got yer wills made out, you lads? |
19655 | This wot you calls a fight? |
19655 | Tommy would say, as the platoon sergeant felt his way along the trench in the darkness,"w''en is the next relief comin''on? |
19655 | W''ere you caught it, mate?" |
19655 | W''y do n''t they smash through?'' |
19655 | Was it an act of weakness, a want of character, evidenced by my inability to say no? |
19655 | What could he say to the women of England who would bring him fruit and flowers in hospital, call him a"poor brave fellow,"and ask how he was wounded? |
19655 | What could he tell them at home? |
19655 | When we had gone on a little way he said:--"Ai n''t it a proper beauty parlor? |
19655 | Why did I ever join Kitchener''s Mob? |
19655 | Why did I join the army? |
19655 | Witin''tible at Sam Isaac''s fish- shop?" |
19655 | Wo n''t some of you give me a lift? |
19655 | Wot do you s''y, Jerry?" |
19655 | Wot to blazes are we a- doin''of, givin''''em a chanct to get dug in again? |
19655 | Wot was you a- doin''of in London? |
19655 | Wot''ll you''ave, lads?" |
19655 | You gettin''cold feet?" |
19655 | You''ll just say you are an Englishman, wo n''t you, as a matter of formality?" |
19655 | _ Chorus_"Fritzie w''en you comin''out? |
19655 | said an exasperating voice,"bathin''in our private pool without a permit?" |
19655 | w''ere do you come from? |
36971 | God willing, I shall be able to do something by and by,he said,"and what shall it be?" |
36971 | He would n''t let me go back; and what would Mrs. Holmes do without me?" |
36971 | If Christ was on earth now, I do believe that he would make his home there-- a part of the time at least: do n''t you?" |
36971 | Of a pleasant home where he had passed a brief time, he wrote,"It''s a second paradise: is n''t it? |
36971 | but what could I do? |
22523 | And another thing, Ed, are they really holding a separate war up here for our benefit? 22523 And where is the cause of its success? |
22523 | Fires on your outposts, captain? |
22523 | In our issue of your very popular paper we noticed a cartoon,Pity the boys in Siberia,"but what about us, Ed? |
22523 | What, then, is my arraignment of sovietism according to the soviet constitution? 22523 ''Ah,''he will say,''yah ochen rrad vasveedyat, kak vui pazhavaetye?'' 22523 ?? 22523 ?? 22523 And again arose the old question persistent, demanding an answer: Why had we come at all? 22523 And as to numbers, why,Ten Americans are as good as a hundred Bolos, are n''t they?" |
22523 | And the conversation was something like this:"Graham, what is the matter? |
22523 | Bolshevik? |
22523 | Buildings( hangars?) |
22523 | But how shall we extricate ourselves? |
22523 | But where is the cutting? |
22523 | But why fret? |
22523 | Ca n''t you realize that this is the same war that you have been carrying on in England and America against the master class? |
22523 | Can it be that the enemy heard some of these rumors and were unwilling at times to go against the Americans? |
22523 | Can staggering men again survive the treacherous morass? |
22523 | Can the Russians be educated? |
22523 | Can you call a tangle of woods a field? |
22523 | Could they hold on? |
22523 | Does anyone recall a general order that came out from our American Commanding officer of the Expedition? |
22523 | Does he look interested in Bolshevism Or downhearted over America? |
22523 | Ever hear of the"lost platoon of"D"Company?" |
22523 | Government?'' |
22523 | Have we missed it in, the dark? |
22523 | How could armistice terms be extended to it without a tacit recognition of the Lenine- Trotsky government? |
22523 | How had she accomplished the metamorphosis? |
22523 | How now, Paul, my poilu comrade, bon ami, why do n''t you add the house itself to the pack on your back? |
22523 | If you have any manhood, do n''t you think it would be fair to call all these debts off? |
22523 | Is war cruel? |
22523 | Just as soon as work is finished, Do n''t you brush your hair and blouse, And go double- double timing, To the cordial Hostess House?" |
22523 | Lost? |
22523 | One day General Ironside leaned over his bunk and said:"What''s the trouble, corporal?" |
22523 | Or is it lack of food that makes us more susceptible to winter''s blasts? |
22523 | Remember that first Bolo shell? |
22523 | Shall we see the sun today? |
22523 | The captain then went to the barracks and demanded of the men standing around the stove:"Who refuses to turn out and load sleds?" |
22523 | The reader may judge for himself:"Do you British working- men know what your capitalists expect you to do about the war? |
22523 | To KOSKOGOR-- THIRD DAY, DECEMBER 20TH Oh, you silvery moon, are you interested in that bugle call? |

22523 | Was it just one of those blunders military- political that are bound to happen in every great war? |
22523 | Was not that fine stuff? |
22523 | Was our unofficial war on Russia''s Red government to go on? |
22523 | Was the Red government able to feed the people by commandeering, the food? |
22523 | What did you grab him for in the first place?" |
22523 | What doughboy will forget the first sight he caught of an American"Y"girl in North Russia? |
22523 | What is this train that has come through our point? |
22523 | What transformed a hesitating, reluctant, long- suffering people into crusaders? |
22523 | What"flu"-weakened soldier will ever forget those double decked pine board beds, sans mattress, sans linen, sans pillows? |
22523 | Where is the"I"Co. detachment again? |
22523 | Who else? |
22523 | Who else? |
22523 | Who ever heard of a half mile charge? |
22523 | Who is it that you men are carrying? |
22523 | Who knew? |
22523 | Who knows where the cutting may be found? |
22523 | Who will forget the day that the Cruiser"Des Moines"steamed in from the Arctic? |
22523 | Why was that last sentence added? |
22523 | Why? |
22523 | Will their outguards hear us? |
22523 | Will we, can we e''er forget them, In the future golden years, And the kindness that was rendered, By these Lady Volunteers? |

18364 | Do you know if the General will let us through? |
18364 | Have I been so long time with you and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? |
18364 | Have you been able to get us any stores? |
18364 | Ought we to have''laissez- passer''s''or not? |
18364 | Where are my forceps? |
18364 | Where are the Germans? |
18364 | Where are the dead to be put? |
18364 | Where are the stretchers? |
18364 | Where are we to dine? |
18364 | --_i.e._,"Have you picked up many wounded?" |
18364 | A Government official could easily be found to say that the cloth had been received, and meanwhile what has the soldier to cover him in the trenches? |
18364 | A stray bullet or a piece of shell may come, but what does it matter? |
18364 | And why are they killing all our best and bravest? |
18364 | Are men really falling and dying in agonies quite close to us? |
18364 | Are men so mad? |
18364 | Are the catkins out? |
18364 | Are the hospitals at the base all crowded? |
18364 | At night I say to myself, as the guns boom on,"Is he lying out in the open with a bullet through his heart?" |
18364 | But I am used now to hearing all the British out here murmur,"What_ can_ be the good of this long delay?" |
18364 | But what did the handsome Cossack care about infection? |
18364 | Could Christ himself desire a better resurrection? |
18364 | Do you remember that great bit of writing in Job, when Wisdom speaks and says:"Destruction and Death say, it is not in me"? |
18364 | Had any one of them failed to rally round the flag? |
18364 | Had they kept anything back in this great war? |
18364 | Have you any friends who would send us a good big lot of nice jam? |
18364 | He said,"How do you do?" |
18364 | How describe it all? |
18364 | How many of the regiment are left? |
18364 | How much can a man endure? |
18364 | I am always too busy to write now, so would you mind sending this letter on to the family? |
18364 | I do wonder if ladies could be persuaded to make any sort of list or felt or even flannel slippers? |
18364 | If it was not for the wounded how would one stand the life here? |
18364 | Is America any use to us except in the matter of supplies, and are we not getting these through as it is? |
18364 | Is there no more room for our men? |
18364 | Is this war time, and in a room filled with men and smoke and drink, are women in knickerbockers discussing such things? |
18364 | It said:"Have you received two cheques already sent? |
18364 | It was a real blow, our trip knocked on the head again, and now how were we to get on? |
18364 | My God, what does it all mean? |
18364 | Oh, Father God, Mother Earth, as it was in the beginning will it be in the end? |
18364 | Once more I begin to see severed limbs and gashed flesh, and the old question arises,"Why, what evil hath he done?" |
18364 | One hears on all sides,"Lady Dorothy, can you get us tyres for the ambulances? |
18364 | One only ends by being"a wonderful old woman of eighty": reminiscent, perhaps a little obstinate, and in the world to come-- always eighty? |
18364 | Or is it that nothing really changes us? |
18364 | So where were we to spend the night? |
18364 | Sometimes when we heard a crash near by we asked"Is that the convent?" |
18364 | The old question arises:"To what purpose is this waste?" |
18364 | There is a roar of battle and of bursting shells, and who can listen to a boy''s groans and his shrieks of pain? |
18364 | They come in at all times, very dirty and hungry, and the greeting is always the same,"Did you get many?" |
18364 | Was there ever anything half so good as that fire, or half so homely, half so warm or so much one''s own? |
18364 | What are we to do for girls all alone? |
18364 | What change will this make in the situation? |
18364 | What do you think of that, my cat? |
18364 | What does illness matter with a pretty room, and kindness showered on one, and everything clean and fragrant? |
18364 | What is being read? |
18364 | What new horrors will have been invented by that time? |
18364 | What numbers of them have fallen? |
18364 | What will Christmas Day be like at home? |
18364 | When I had finished, a friend of mine, evidently waiting for the end of a pointless story, said,"What did they do that for?" |
18364 | When did he die? |
18364 | When do people say the war will end? |
18364 | When will people discover Caucasia? |
18364 | Where is the petrol?" |
18364 | Who could dream of wars and tumults, hate and envy, sin and spite, Roaring London, raving Paris, in that spot of peaceful light? |
18364 | Who could tell whether its parents had been killed or not? |
18364 | Who is killed, and who is left? |
18364 | Who knows how much this has cost the givers? |
18364 | Whom shall we ever see again? |
18364 | Why are we allowed to know nothing until the news is stale? |
18364 | Why bring lives into the world and shell them out of it with jagged pieces of iron, and knives thrust through their quivering flesh? |
18364 | Why make any complaint? |
18364 | Why should humble villages in France without soldiers in them be shelled? |
18364 | Why should the companionship of the open road be the supreme test of friendship? |
18364 | Why talk of the time when it sang of breaking hearts and high endeavour never satisfied, and things which no one ever knew or guessed except oneself? |
18364 | Why wo n''t these mad creatures stop at home? |
18364 | Will you buy yourself some little thing with the enclosed cheque? |
18364 | Will you do it? |
18364 | Will you give us and them a good time again, and will the spring burst into singing in some other country? |
18364 | Yet I have heard an English officer say that nothing pleases a Russian more than to ask,"When is there to be another Armenian massacre?" |
18364 | You see, no one is safe; and, oh, my dear, have you ever seen a town that has been thoroughly shelled? |
18364 | You thought Persia was in the tropics? |
18364 | [ Page Heading:"WHEN WILL THE WAR END?"] |
18364 | and why should one feel a certain fear of getting to know people too well on a journey? |
18364 | what is heroism? |
10099 | ''Already?'' 10099 ''Are there still any soldiers here?'' |
10099 | ''But, mon Commandant, you''ll leave me some of your stores for the grands blessés, whom you leave behind-- whom you ca n''t move? 10099 ''What is our crime?'' |
10099 | ''Why have your people gone?--why are these houses, these shops, shut? 10099 Are we approaching victory? |
10099 | Can you show me exactly where the French line runs? |
10099 | Grown? 10099 How can I describe it? |
10099 | How do they understand each other? |

10099 | What on earth is the Navy about? |

10099 | And you see that other patch of wood a little farther east? |
10099 | Are there some among them who saw the massacre at Dinant, the terrible things in Lorraine? |
10099 | Are we going to forget Serbia? |
10099 | But what are these strange figures swarming beside the road-- black tousled heads and bronze faces? |
10099 | But what of the boys who took those trenches, with their eleven rows of barbed wire in front of them? |
10099 | But what then? |
10099 | But who among his English hosts could possibly have imagined the thoughts and ideas in that grey head? |
10099 | But who, least of all a woman, can part from the tragic spectacle of this war without bitterness of spirit? |
10099 | Can I do anything for you?'' |
10099 | Can I make it worth while? |
10099 | Can they ever forget the blood that is mingled with their own? |
10099 | Can we circulate safely?'' |
10099 | Do men grow hard and violent in this furnace after a while, and will the national character suffer thereby in the future? |

10099 | He used gas-- do you remember the way the Canadians got the first lot? |
10099 | How does it look now? |
10099 | How had there been any time for the post- mortem? |
10099 | How is it done? |
10099 | How many of them? |
10099 | How much further, then, has Great Britain marched since the Spring of last year-- how much nearer is she to the end? |
10099 | How was it done? |
10099 | How were the gunners at home to be trained? |
10099 | How will it all end? |
10099 | Is not the truth rather that we had a twofold share in it? |
10099 | Is there anything that England-- and Scotland-- should provide more abundantly? |
10099 | Lovely prices, are n''t they? |
10099 | Now, what will they do with their freedom? |
10099 | Or these from Itzehoe and Hanover:"Could you get me some silk? |

10099 | What can I do for you?" |
10099 | What did he mean-- and what happened afterwards? |
10099 | What had become of the brutal arrogance, the insolent cruelty of the first days? |
10099 | What had happened? |
10099 | What remains of it-- and of all the workings of the German mind that devised it? |
10099 | What should we have done without them? |
10099 | What then? |
10099 | What was happening? |
10099 | What was happening?" |
10099 | What would the marvellous organisation which England has produced in three years avail us, without the spirit in it,--the body, without the soul? |
10099 | Whatever_ are_ we comin''to?" |
10099 | Where are they? |
10099 | Where to begin? |
10099 | Where, in fact, do we stand? |
10099 | Whither are we tending-- your country and mine? |
10099 | Why music? |
10099 | Will Russia forget Belgium?--and forget Serbia? |
10099 | Will the newly- freed forget those that are still suffering and bound? |
10099 | Will their thrift- work in the homes complete the munition- work of women in the factories? |
10099 | Will you come, Monsieur l''Abbé, and say a few words to these poor fellows?" |
10099 | Would there be no fighting in defence of Paris-- only thirty miles away? |

19876 | All right,agreed the Colonel,"are you sure you know how to cook it yourself?" |
19876 | And you really think they will finally come in? |
19876 | Are you Canadian officers? |
19876 | But what is the matter? |
19876 | But what''s the matter? |
19876 | Ca n''t you identify that car? |
19876 | Do you know how to cook that canned asparagus? |
19876 | Do you mean to saycried Mac, jumping from his chair in a rage,"that we ca n''t get anything to eat?" |
19876 | Do you really believe that people will change? 19876 Have you a cold?" |
19876 | Have you been out there long? |
19876 | Have you ever eaten asparagus? |
19876 | So did everybody else; anybody who says he did n''t come out here for some such reason as that is a damned liar; do n''t you think so Doc.? |
19876 | Some speech that-- eh, what? |
19876 | The British fleet? |
19876 | Then what? |
19876 | We have notI replied,"what is the sense of having a number?" |
19876 | Well how do you think you would cook it? |
19876 | Well what would you have? |
19876 | Well, if they do n''t see the desperate nature of the affair in England how can you expect them to realize it in Canada? |
19876 | Well, what in thunder did you come for; what was the big idea? |
19876 | Well, what is it? |
19876 | Well, what is the end going to be? |
19876 | Well, what is the matter with you? |
19876 | What a mess- president? |
19876 | What about that little chop house(''The Silver Grill'') which he had frequently lauded with fulsome praise? |
19876 | What are we out here for anyway; what are we fighting for; what is the whole bally business about; that is what I would like to know? |
19876 | What are you stopping for? |
19876 | What did you come out for Colonel? |
19876 | What did you come out for? |
19876 | What did you tell him? |
19876 | What do you mean? |
19876 | What do you think? 19876 What do you want it for?" |
19876 | What good did it do them? 19876 What have we done anyway? |
19876 | What is the feeling over there anyway? |
19876 | What is the matter? |
19876 | What would you do with the tough part of the stalks? |
19876 | What''s the matter with him? 19876 What?" |
19876 | Where did the cop get hold of you, Rad? |
19876 | Why did n''t you salute? |
19876 | Why do you feel sore now because other fellows you know have n''t come out? 19876 Why should a government car have a number?" |
19876 | Would n''t it? |
19876 | Would you boil it, Sir? |
19876 | You had a good position and a good future in your profession over in the States; something made you come; what was it? |
19876 | ( That is war, is it not?) |
19876 | As one of them said to Rudyard Kipling when he was down visiting them,"What were trees for if they were not to be cut down?" |
19876 | But will Englishmen see that? |
19876 | Cawn''t you give me somethink to buck me up, Doc please?" |
19876 | Could it be really true that I was there in Paris in the middle of the great war? |
19876 | Could she, or could she not, save France from the invading hosts of Germany? |
19876 | Do n''t you think so Doc.?" |
19876 | Favorite questions were:"What does the corner of King and Yonge streets look like?" |
19876 | Finally he asked"Are you going to turn or not?" |
19876 | If not why worry, for the newspapers were full of the tremendous casualties inflicted on the enemy? |
19876 | If so why will not ten or twenty times as many planes accomplish ten or twenty times as much? |
19876 | If the British fleet failed to- day do you know how long it would take the Germans to get over to Canada? |
19876 | Is he a jelly fish?" |
19876 | Is there anything more you want?" |
19876 | Shall we go?" |
19876 | Should the theatres be kept open? |
19876 | Supposing the Germans just kept on discharging gas? |
19876 | The French army must be very good to be able to hold the German back like that, must it not? |
19876 | The first question asked when you are introduced as a scientist to Frenchmen is,"Do you know our Pasteur and his work?" |
19876 | The woman stared at me and at the retreating child and asked,"What did she do that for?" |
19876 | Their usual question at first when they met another soldier was,"Have you been to war or in France?" |
19876 | Then he added,"Have you been with my army in France?" |
19876 | They told their stories simply and invariably finished with a shrug of the shoulders and the phrase"c''est la guerre n''est ce pas?" |
19876 | To our"Bon jour"he replied, and added"Il fait bon temps n''est ce pas?" |
19876 | Was it possible that the greatest battle of all time was taking place at the very moment not sixty miles away? |
19876 | Was n''t it funny, Doc.?" |
19876 | What have they done? |
19876 | What more could be said? |
19876 | What more would any soldier desire? |
19876 | Where did you leave those prisoners?" |
19876 | Why make a fuss about it? |
19876 | Why should not Canada be doing the same?" |
19876 | Why worry?" |
19876 | Would I go down to the new camp at Valcartier and look after the purification of the water supply? |
19876 | and"How is Tommy Church?" |
19876 | asked,"Do you think you can make the field ambulance by the bridge?" |
19876 | do you know, Colonel, nothing gives me greater pleasure than spending the afternoon looking at piles of boxes?" |
19876 | examined the injured man and said to the lieutenant rather brusquely,"Is that your car?" |
19876 | said the Captain,"Eh, what, Doc.?" |
19876 | said the officer,"are you a Canadian?" |
19876 | should German music be played at Queen''s Hall? |
19876 | should German waiters be still allowed in the hotels? |
19876 | what good are they? |
37035 | You are a rebel doctor, eh? |
37035 | Have not I been faithful in all the duties of a child, to a parent? |
28319 | Any news of the other''busses? |
28319 | But I can have a few days''rest, sir, ca n''t I? |
28319 | But where''s the rest of your crew? |
28319 | Did n''t you go on with the infantry? |
28319 | Do you fellows know how the tanks made out? |
28319 | Do you think we shall make it? |
28319 | Does anybody want to join this? |
28319 | Having a good time? |
28319 | Having a good time? |
28319 | How many more courses must we go through? |
28319 | In Heaven''s name, what''s the difference? |
28319 | Now that I''ve said''Good- bye,''where am I going? |
28319 | We may get there, but shall we get back? 28319 Well, it''s a great war, is n''t it?" |
28319 | What did you do? |
28319 | What do you think about it, Old Bird? |
28319 | What is it? |
28319 | What the devil''s the matter? |
28319 | What''s happened to their tank, I wonder? |
28319 | What''s happened to your''bus? |
28319 | When are you going? 28319 When do I start, sir? |
28319 | Where? |
28319 | Whose tank was it? |
28319 | Why do n''t you telephone Headquarters and ask them to send a car over for you? |
28319 | After mess one morning, when the conversation had consisted mainly of the question,"When are we going into a show?" |
28319 | And the razor? |
28319 | And what of the rugger game the next day? |
28319 | And where do I go?" |
28319 | Are n''t you thrilled?" |
28319 | Are you feeling fit?" |
28319 | Are you going there?" |
28319 | Can I have reinforcements?" |
28319 | Can you imagine the sensation? |
28319 | Darwin would say,"Look here, how is the radiator connected with the differential?" |
28319 | Had they been pushed back by a German rush? |
28319 | He decided that he was, for who had ever heard of"telephoning for a car"? |
28319 | He then says to himself,"Why am I spared when many better men have gone?" |
28319 | If he does not bring it back, when can we get another bucket?" |
28319 | If not, why should they dance up and down and wave their hats and shriek? |
28319 | One is not moving-- is it out of action? |
28319 | Should he take it upon himself to turn back? |
28319 | That night at mess, Gould said suddenly:--"To- morrow''s a half day, is n''t it?" |
28319 | The man who before the war said,"Why is he my master?" |
28319 | Then Talbot said,"Bad luck; have you got their pay- books?" |
28319 | Then, turning to the Major with his most ingratiating smile, he said,"By the way, sir, what about a few days in Boulogne?" |
28319 | To- day?" |
28319 | What are these Boches doing?" |
28319 | What do you think had happened? |
28319 | What effect has the war had upon those countries who in the beginning were not engaged in it? |
28319 | What life of peace is there that produces this god- like fibre in the plainest of men? |
28319 | What rank has he?--a General, maybe?" |
28319 | What was Rigden doing to them inside the tank to provoke such profanity from them both? |
28319 | Why, indeed, is it produced in the life of war? |
28319 | Would the infantry never come? |
28319 | Would there be any sense in just sitting there until a German shell annihilated them if the infantry never arrived? |
28319 | [ Illustration: KING GEORGE AND QUEEN MARY INSPECTING A TANK ON THE BRITISH FRONT IN FRANCE]"How did the tank happen to be invented?" |
18963 | All right,said Snipe,"I''m game, but how in hell are you going to do it?" |
18963 | And, by the way, Benson, what happened to our gun? |
18963 | Are the Germans as cruel as they are painted? |
18963 | Baldy,the American, would say to Bob Goddard,"Do you call this miniature thing a railroad? |
18963 | Bucksheethe English troops call anything that you might have to spare, such as"Have you a buckshee razor?" |
18963 | Did you see an officer go by here? |
18963 | How did you get it, Tommy? |
18963 | Is that so? |
18963 | Oh, indeed!--and why not? |
18963 | Then, why did you bring back the food? |
18963 | Thinking what? |
18963 | Tommy, Tommy, have they got you, kid? |
18963 | Well, Bobbie, what shall I do? |
18963 | Well,said he,"just as I came down the line I overheard the old Sergeant telling another guy about it, and if we can get on, will you come?" |
18963 | What are the prison camps like? |
18963 | What difference does that make? |
18963 | What do you belong to? |
18963 | You wo n''t leave me, will you, if you have to go back? |
18963 | A familiar voice said,"Who in hell do you think it is?" |
18963 | After awhile I happened to be beside Mac, and I said,"Speaking of baseball, Mac, do they serve afternoon tea here?" |
18963 | After he had been there awhile the Sergeant asked him to wash the floor; Mac refused,"Do you think I came out here to scrub floors?" |
18963 | As I passed Nick, he said,"Which would you rather do, Jack, work on the coke oven or go to church?" |
18963 | Bink walked up to the lady at the table, and in his most polite tone said,"Can you let me have a program?" |
18963 | Blackie said,"What makes you think so?" |

18963 | But how can we get away from these blamed''square- heads''?" |
18963 | Do n''t you know when you are well off?" |
18963 | Do n''t you know your place is here?" |
18963 | Do you know him?" |
18963 | He called back:"Do you think I''m such a bleedin''fool as to stay down here and get buried alive? |
18963 | He protested his innocence, and the judge said,"Pete, have you any witnesses?" |
18963 | He said,"Are you Englishmen?" |
18963 | He said,"Do you want to see Tommy? |
18963 | He said,"What''s the matter?" |
18963 | He said,"Why? |
18963 | How long after reveille did O''Brien lie in bed?" |
18963 | I got out my poisoned(?) |
18963 | I looked at Sammy and said,"This back to back stuff is n''t all it''s cracked up to be, is it?" |
18963 | I said to Mac,"What does this remind you of, Mac?" |
18963 | I said,"Hello, Jack, got a Blighty?" |
18963 | I said,"Well, how would this do? |
18963 | I said,"What makes you think that?" |
18963 | I said,"What''s up?" |
18963 | I said,"Where the devil are you going to, Skinny?" |
18963 | I spoke to him, and he said,"Ai n''t this hell? |
18963 | I thought,"Well, is n''t this a hell of a war, when a man can be pleased over getting a bloomin''big hole through his arm?" |
18963 | I went back to the boys feeling mighty blue, and their only greeting was,"Where in hell have you been? |
18963 | In the darkness I heard some one moving, and I said,"Who''s there?" |
18963 | Interpreter:"Is that all you did?" |
18963 | Interpreter:"Then what were you doing?" |
18963 | Marriot rushed into the next bay, and meeting our Sergeant he spluttered,"Oh say, old chap, ai n''t I a lucky devil? |
18963 | Not long after old Tucker came along and said,"Got a Blighty, Bob?" |
18963 | Now, would n''t that be a devil of a fix to be in? |
18963 | One of the boys dug me in the ribs and whispered,"Some scout, eh?" |
18963 | One of the boys said,"Is n''t that fool ever going to put down his gun?" |
18963 | One of them said when he saw us,"Well, where the devil did you come from?" |
18963 | Said he,"Look at those lovely old trees with the creepers on them; where in the States would you find anything to compare with them?" |
18963 | Skinny was in front of me, and he stopped so suddenly that I said,"What''s wrong, Skinny?" |
18963 | Slim said,"How long since you''ve had a wash?" |
18963 | Snipe, what''s the matter with hiding in one of these tunnels? |
18963 | Some load, eh? |
18963 | That night I told the boys of my find, and they said,"Yes, but how are we going to get there?" |
18963 | The first question asked was,"Where was the sap you were working in?" |
18963 | The interpreter said,"Where was the mine you dug underground?" |
18963 | Then they put me aboard a Red Cross train, and I was lying there feeling pretty tough when a sweet voice said,"Would you like a cigarette?" |
18963 | Then, when he got them fixed to his liking, he very bravely marched in where we were and said,"Alle Engländer?" |
18963 | This man was Macdonald, who had already made three attempts to escape, and when I met him he said,"Well, Jack, are you ready to try it again?" |
18963 | We asked them what it was like and they said,"Oh, you wo n''t want a rifle, all you need is a shovel to dig yourself a hole"--cheerful, was n''t it? |
18963 | We guided them out to the main shaft, and it was still intact, so they went up; then the Corporal said,"I wonder if there are any more back there?" |
18963 | We told him and he said,"What size were the shells that came over?" |
18963 | Well, when I came back from the boss''s cabin, I found Steve packing up, and I said,"Why, what''s the matter, Steve?" |
18963 | What about him?" |
18963 | What the devil is eating you now? |
18963 | What the mischief are you doing?" |
18963 | What would n''t a boy do for an officer who used him like that? |
18963 | When I reached the orderly- room I walked in, and said,"Who is the Orderly Sergeant here?" |
18963 | When he saw what I had done, he said,"Why in hell do n''t you take the brutes out when you want to shoot them, and not be making a mess here?" |
18963 | When they got up to us they said,"Where the devil have you fellows been? |
18963 | When we came up we bid him the time of day, and, in the best German we could muster, asked,"Which is this, Germany or Holland?" |
18963 | Who goes there?" |
18963 | is that you? |
18963 | meaning"Have you a spare razor?" |
18963 | what the Sam Hill are they doing with those chaps?" |
18963 | what''s the matter, old chap?" |
18078 | ''Say, boy, are you a walking pawnshop?'' 18078 Belong to some church back home?" |
18078 | But how did you do it? |
18078 | But why does she come so long after he is dead? |
18078 | Did you even go so far with your lone one- man congregation as to have a benediction? |
18078 | Do n''t you want the Christ to help you bear your pain? |
18078 | Even in your own beautiful America? |
18078 | Great old hymn, is n''t it, lad? |
18078 | Have you no mother or sister? |
18078 | How did you get yours? |
18078 | How did you get yours? |
18078 | How do the Americans stand dressing their wounds and the suffering in the hospitals? |
18078 | How is that? |
18078 | How many men does it take to keep one pilot in the machine flying out over those waters to guard the transports in? |
18078 | I just saw him there,Clarke replied,"and he looked lonely, and I walked up and said:''How''d you like to have me read a little out of the Book?'' |
18078 | I said to myself:''What will the poor kiddie do without his dad?'' |
18078 | If you hear them coming you''re all right? |
18078 | Like the old hymns? |
18078 | No wonder, man; who would n''t shake after that? |

18078 | What are you talking about, man? |
18078 | What did you say his name was? |
18078 | What does it mean? |
18078 | What is it? |
18078 | What makes you feel so keenly about it? |
18078 | What shall we sing, boys? |
18078 | What''s that, Doc, a Boche? |
18078 | When will you quit? |
18078 | Who goes there? |
18078 | Who goes there? |
18078 | Why, major? |
18078 | A friend who knew better said:"But have you not noticed that women are pulling the carts, women are tilling the fields? |
18078 | After several nights one of the men secretaries went up to him and said:"Why do n''t you go over and talk with them? |
18078 | Ai n''t they satisfied? |
18078 | And then who shall forget how somebody else started"Let the Lower Lights Be Burning"? |
18078 | And who shall forget the man along the railing who said,"I never knew before the meaning of that old song,''The Lights Along the Shore''"? |
18078 | Are you afraid?" |
18078 | Can such scenes ever be obliterated from one''s memory? |
18078 | Could Silhouettes of Sacrilege cover a wider gamut of hatred and disgust than these silhouettes picture? |
18078 | Could the case be more complete? |
18078 | Did it make them mad? |
18078 | Did it produce regret? |
18078 | Had they selected that hymn just for me? |
18078 | Have you not noticed that there are no men but old men everywhere?" |
18078 | He had no other place to go, and the boys could n''t leave, so why should he go just because he could leave if he wished? |
18078 | I just gave them guys what they was lookin''for in all its horrible details, did n''t I? |
18078 | I said to Cray:"Why did you sing that particular song?" |
18078 | I said to the other driver:"Well, it''s too beautiful to be true, is n''t it? |
18078 | I said:"So you see that it''s a good thing to be carrying a Bible around in your pocket?" |
18078 | I said:"What was it?" |
18078 | I said:"Where is your camp?" |
18078 | In fact it became contagious, for a kindly old gentleman, thinking that the little lady was afraid of the boat, said:"What''s the matter, dear? |
18078 | Is it any wonder that they asked him for a little prayer service one night before they went into the trenches? |
18078 | Is it any wonder that they brought their last letters to him before they went into the trenches? |
18078 | Is it any wonder that they love him and swear by him? |
18078 | Just before the battle of Château- Thierry,"Doc,"of whom I have spoken in this chapter before, said:"Boys, do you want a communion service?" |

18078 | The captain was baffled, but went on:"What did you hit the man for?" |
18078 | The captain, seeing this, turned and said:"Well, what do you want?" |
18078 | Then suddenly it dawned on me that this was France speaking to America:"Traveller, hast thou ever seen so great a grief as mine?" |
18078 | Then who shall forget seeing that first light from shore flash out through the darkness of night? |
18078 | There''d be somethin''doin''at home then, would n''t there?" |
18078 | Thomas Carlyle once said of man:"Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities?" |
18078 | Was she blue? |
18078 | Was she discouraged? |
18078 | Were her spirits dampened? |
18078 | What was the difference? |
18078 | What were they, friendly craft or enemy ships? |
18078 | When the news got to France that submarines were plying in American waters near New York, did it produce consternation? |
18078 | Who shall forget the crowding to the railings by all on board to scan anxiously through the night for the first sight of land? |
18078 | Who shall forget the red and green and white lights that began to twinkle, and gleam, and flash, and signal, and call? |
18078 | Who shall forget the sense of exhilaration that the news that land was near brought? |

12418 | A couple of days? |
12418 | American newspapers tell stories which are not at all true, do n''t they? |
12418 | And now, Herr Commandant,I began,"can you suggest where I may best begin my atrocity work tomorrow? |
12418 | Did you see that face? |
12418 | Did you see that last_ boche_, Jean? |
12418 | Do you think Austria will grant the American demands? |
12418 | Have the people here planted much of these things I see on that notice? |
12418 | How do you like them? |
12418 | How is that? |
12418 | How on earth did you manage to pass through the iron- clad regulations at the docks of Hoboken( New York) without a permit, and why did you do it? |
12418 | Is this man looking for me? 12418 Might I not see the wounded taken from the train?" |
12418 | Oh, so you get the English papers? |
12418 | Then what are you doing in a Russian uniform? |
12418 | Well,snarled Major Nicolai,"why did n''t you send that to your papers?" |
12418 | Were you here during the fighting? |
12418 | Who are they? |
12418 | Why should we let America interfere with our plan to starve England? |
12418 | Why, it''s only eight hours to the Thames estuary, is n''t it? |
12418 | Will public opinion favour such a move? |
12418 | You are not downhearted about the war? |
12418 | You do not think your Government responsible at all for the war? |
12418 | You have been in England, have n''t you? |
12418 | You know of this, of course? |
12418 | You speak English, then? |
12418 | You''re all right, ai n''t you, Heiny, so long as I give you a bit of sugar now and then? |
12418 | _ Ach, noch''mal_("What, again?") |
12418 | A pretty picture of the appreciation of the blessings of German rule, but was it true? |
12418 | Am I in for serious trouble now?" |
12418 | And would you not be surprised to learn that nearly every newspaper throughout your country had the same headlines that day? |
12418 | Are n''t you, old Heiny? |
12418 | As I did so a Russian came out of the barn and said, in rather bad German,"Going to have your photograph taken?" |
12418 | But the four women inside-- why did they not help the woman? |
12418 | But what of Ballin, Heineken, von Gwinner, Gutmann, Thyssen, Rathenau, and other captains of industry and finance? |
12418 | Could the Oberammergau Passion Play ever exert the old influence again, after this? |
12418 | Did I not have a birth certificate? |
12418 | Did it ever occur to anybody in England to dispute the right of immunity of members of parliament? |
12418 | Do you not see that our diplomats have still one more loop- hole in case they are pressed? |
12418 | Had I not a letter from Count Bernstorff? |
12418 | Have you not noticed the significance of the two dates, March 6, when the torpedo is said to have been fired, and March 16, when it struck? |
12418 | Herr Dittmann continued:--"How much longer will it be before even thoughts become criminal in Germany? |
12418 | His captors had given him a chapel, to be sure, but why was he in Germany at all? |
12418 | How did I get into Strassburg in war- time? |
12418 | How do the editors like being mere clerks for the Government? |
12418 | How is it, then, that they began to hate the United States so intensely? |
12418 | How is the war going on, guv''nor?" |
12418 | How were they to know that these tumbrils contained the bloody story of Contalmaison? |
12418 | How would Fritz be regarded in this country, and how was he regarded according to German standards? |
12418 | I noticed a gentleman carrying his own baggage, and I said to him,''Can I carry your suitcases on board, sir?''" |
12418 | I regret this check upon free criticism in England, but what would have happened in Germany? |
12418 | I visited the cinematograph theatre, and the operator asked,"What would you like to see-- something funny?" |
12418 | If only wounded to the hospitals one train came into Potsdam at Potsdam and other why use furniture vans at cities have proved a great all? |
12418 | If that is really so, why does the_ Deutschland''s_ cargo consist mainly of these three commodities? |
12418 | May I ask what you are doing?" |
12418 | Not only that, but to be so efficient in hate that even inscriptions on tombstones may no longer be written in French? |
12418 | On what fronts had I already seen fighting? |
12418 | On what occasions had I visited Germany during my past life? |
12418 | Or first, would it not be well for me to get a more complete idea of the invasion by seeing on the map just what routes the Russians took coming in?" |
12418 | Or has anybody in England been threatened with arrest if he does not withdraw a declaration against the committee of his party? |
12418 | Some of them have expressed opinions in interviews, but what do they_ really_ think? |
12418 | That is the sort of sight which makes some critics say,"What is the matter with the British Navy?" |
12418 | The question in my mind is: Who lost the 1 from the 16?" |
12418 | The son of the house remarked,"Surely you know the English have taken a great many prisoners?" |
12418 | Their training had led them to think in army corps, and they frankly and sneeringly asked us,"What could you do?" |
12418 | Upon what kinds of history is the German child being brought up? |
12418 | We have had to work fourteen hours a day, and I wonder what my mates at home would think of 3 shillings pay for ten days''work?" |
12418 | What are the factors which enable Germany to call this number or a little more than this number to the Colours? |
12418 | What is the value of a trinket to the life of the dear one that gave it? |
12418 | What languages did I speak, and the degree of proficiency in each? |
12418 | What other people in the world than the Germans would stand that? |
12418 | What state of mind does this produce among the people? |
12418 | What would you think, you who live in London or Hew York, if you woke up some morning to find every newspaper in the city with the same headlines? |
12418 | Where did they live? |
12418 | Whom did I know in Germany? |
12418 | Why did the Government do everything in its power to suppress this article? |
12418 | Why not? |
12418 | Why should not the Empire of William II.? |
12418 | Why, one may naturally ask, do they not cry out against such a pernicious practice? |
12418 | With the Reichstag shut up, and the hold on the newspapers tightening,-what opportunity remains by which independent thought can be disseminated? |
12418 | With the soldier element scientifically broken up and scattered all over the country, who could revolt-- the women and children? |
12418 | Would it be to the best interests of Germany to go the limit with the submarines or not? |
12418 | Would it not seem strange if the Commandant at Wehlau had me sent back after these great men had set their seal of approval upon my investigations? |
12418 | You know that the little old man who was complaining about the restaurants being turned into hospitals has been arrested?" |
12418 | You would conclude that there was wonderful central control somewhere, would you not? |

34895 | What regiment? |
34895 | What will you sell me one of those canteens for? |
34895 | What, you do n''t know the man you identified yesterday? |
34895 | And shall all this have been in vain? |

34895 | Finally he said,"Will you be ready to start before light to- morrow?" |
34895 | Have you got a gold dollar?" |
34895 | How are you?" |
34895 | Shortly before we arrived, at about 1 A.M., an officer came through the car, caught sight of my shoulder- straps, stopped:"You are a captain?" |
34895 | What is happening behind the impenetrable curtain between us and the North? |
34895 | When the tide of war shall turn, as turn it will, what will be done with us? |

19693 | ''Were you speaking to me? |
19693 | But have you the legal right to do that? |
19693 | But under Dutch law? |
19693 | But what difference? 19693 But why,"said the German counsellor, sitting by my study fire--- a Prussian of the Prussians--"why do you refuse? |
19693 | Can you sell us a little bread? |
19693 | Were you here in the fighting? |
19693 | Were you here in the fighting? |
19693 | What do you mean by Peace,said the Householder, looking grimly around him;"do you mean all this?" |
19693 | What were these Prussian soldiers doing there? 19693 Why so many soldiers,"I asked,"and where are they all going?" |
19693 | Will the man get well? |
19693 | Will you see an operation? |
19693 | Are we not brothers? |
19693 | But do you think they will arrest me when I get to New York?" |
19693 | But have you any right to arrest me and send me to America?" |
19693 | But how could it be avoided? |
19693 | But how shall I creep in?" |
19693 | But might it not still be used as a make- weight in the scales of negotiation rather than as a weapon of actual offense? |
19693 | But what about things on the French side of the border in that same week of June, 1914? |
19693 | But what do we mean now by peace? |
19693 | But what if it lost its purely mythical quality and became historical, actual, contemporaneous? |
19693 | But when would that be? |
19693 | But would the organization of such a league of nations to defend peace make war henceforward impossible? |
19693 | But-- well, did you ever see a wren resist an eagle? |
19693 | Can there be any Peace in the world if you go loose in it, ready to break and enter and kill when it pleases you? |
19693 | Can there be any forgiveness until you repent? |
19693 | Could Germany have taken this absolutely"committal"position if she had been ignorant of what Austria intended to do? |
19693 | Could it be that Europe of the twentieth century was to be thrust back into the ancient barbarism of a general war? |
19693 | Could it be the big neighbor from across the lake? |
19693 | Could the precarious peace be maintained until measures to enforce and protect it by common consent could be taken? |
19693 | Do n''t you want it?" |
19693 | Do we not both love Peace? |
19693 | Do you accept?" |
19693 | Do you mean to restore the plunder you have grabbed?" |
19693 | Does it mean a constitutional remoulding of the empire? |
19693 | Fight? |
19693 | General scepticism? |
19693 | Had they come to spy out the land and the city in preparation for an invasion? |
19693 | How could it be otherwise in a throng of about a million, scooped up and cast out by an evil chance? |
19693 | How did this gentleman in Munich come to know about the ultimatum, while the gentlemen in Berlin professed ignorance? |
19693 | How long would that lack hold off the storm? |
19693 | If it seemed dreamlike to us, so near at hand, how could the people in America, three thousand miles away, feel its reality or grasp its meaning? |
19693 | Indifference? |
19693 | Is it likely that the predatory Potsdam gang will be willing to accept these three conditions soon? |
19693 | Is it not so?" |
19693 | Is n''t that a fair division? |
19693 | Might he not still be content with showing and shaking the sword, without fleshing it in the body of Europe? |
19693 | Might not the Kaiser still be pleased with his dramatic role of"the war- lord who kept the peace"? |
19693 | Might not the Werwolf get himself disliked?" |
19693 | Mr. Eyschen said to me:"You have heard of the famous''Luxembourger Loch''? |
19693 | N''est- ce pas vrai, cherie?" |
19693 | Now and then an independent German like Maximilian Harden is brave enough to blurt it out:"Of what use are weak excuses? |
19693 | Preoccupation with other designs which made the discussion of peace plans premature and futile? |
19693 | Shall I deny it?" |
19693 | Shall the United States be asked to rewrite this article of international law, in the midst of a great war on sea and land? |
19693 | Tell me, what have you to say about my children and my servants whom you have tortured and murdered?" |
19693 | The first question was: Did Germany approve in advance the Austrian ultimatum to Servia? |
19693 | Then the Queen asked about the Dutch immigrants in America, especially in recent times-- were they good citizens? |
19693 | There were old men so feeble that one''s first thought on seeing them was:"How did you get away from your nurse?" |
19693 | These Kriegs- Herren had better go home at once-- at once, did they understand?" |
19693 | Was it the carrying out of the cold- blooded policy of"frightfulness"as a necessary weapon of war? |
19693 | Was it the drink found in the cellars of the houses that made the German officers and soldiers mad? |
19693 | Was there a stray prince or duke among them who wanted to marry the Grand Duchess? |
19693 | Were Algiers and Tunis and Tripoli"civilized states"when they sent out the Barbary pirates in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries? |
19693 | What about the damage you have done here? |
19693 | What else could she do? |
19693 | What had the Potsdam High- Sea Fleet to do with this peaceable overland traveller from Belgium? |
19693 | What if a few shots were fired by ignorant and infuriated civilians from the windows of houses? |
19693 | What is it that we are pledged by President Wilson''s statement to insist upon as a precondition of any peace conference with Germany? |
19693 | What was it, then, that forced such a nation into a conflict of arms? |
19693 | What was it? |
19693 | What was the meaning of this? |
19693 | Where was it? |
19693 | Who are WE?" |
19693 | Who feeds you? |
19693 | Who gave you a place? |
19693 | Who shall repair it?" |
19693 | Why do you call attention to it, instead of talking politely and earnestly about the blessings of Peace?" |
19693 | Why not call on the signer of the letter of credit for the money instead of calling on the addressee? |
19693 | Why not make the drafts directly on New York? |
19693 | Why not simply transmit the note to your colleague in Brussels as you did before? |
19693 | Why not? |
19693 | Will you lay down your weapons and come before the Judge?" |
19693 | Will you not?" |
19693 | Would it not change its aspect? |
19693 | Would not people object to it? |
19693 | Yet why would not the killing of a French sister under the Red Cross be just as wicked? |
19693 | You want it to go on?" |
22021 | And where are they now? |
22021 | Could I eat ten thousand b... buns and the baker who baked them? |
22021 | Do you think the Navy could do anything more than they are already doing to help the situation? 22021 What does this letter amount to? |

22021 | Are the High Gods bringing our new Iliad to grief in a spirit of wanton mischief? |
22021 | At whose door will history leave the blame for the helpless, hopeless fix we are left in-- rotting with disease and told to take it easy? |
22021 | But after all, who am I to judge the Government of the British Empire? |
22021 | But am I? |
22021 | But; if the Turks got there first? |
22021 | Can I say so? |
22021 | Can this be stopped and_ Arno_ sent( to)_ Mercedes_ to water at once? |
22021 | Can you give me any idea when the reinforcements for this division are likely to be despatched and when they may be expected here? |
22021 | Could you not ginger them up? |
22021 | Did the War Council also appoint Munro? |
22021 | Do the men toying with the idea of bringing off our men not see that thereby the Turks will be let loose somewhere; not nowhere? |
22021 | Have the numbers at Base, Alexandria, and men returning from hospital, etc., been taken into account? |
22021 | Have they done so now? |
22021 | Have you any complaints on this score?" |
22021 | Have you arranged practical system for supplying troops in the event of Tekke Tepe ridge being secured?" |
22021 | He replied:"Sir Ian, may I be frank with you about the Division?" |
22021 | How can he feed them? |
22021 | How can we? |
22021 | How far will wise saws cut ice? |

22021 | How many much better men than myself would not close their eyes to- night with a battle on the balance and 5,000 rounds wherewith to fight it? |
22021 | How much nearer do you get to shooting a snipe by being_ told_ how not to take your aim? |
22021 | How will they do? |
22021 | If I want more ammunition indeed? |
22021 | If so, will you please make arrangements with him accordingly? |
22021 | If you want more ammunition say so....""Could you eat a bun, my boy?" |
22021 | If, as the A.G. says, they have not got the men to send, why in God''s name do they go on telling the people they_ have_ got them? |
22021 | If, on reconsideration, you agree with this view can you spare the LIIIrd Division?" |
22021 | If...? |
22021 | In spite of delay, in spite of lost chances, is it business? |
22021 | Is K. still the demi- God, that is the question? |
22021 | Is it business? |
22021 | Is it in Dawnay''s draft, or is it in my message, or does it lie stillborn in some cable unwritten? |
22021 | Is it the Divisional Generals or Brigadiers or both? |
22021 | Is there any occasion on which I have failed to do so? |
22021 | Now, what was to be done? |
22021 | Now-- will she send us a contingent? |
22021 | Oh, energy, to what distant clime have you flown? |
22021 | Only for a few moments-- last moments for so many? |
22021 | Or have you sufficient supernumerary Officers to fill all casualties?" |
22021 | Or, is there some method in this madness? |

22021 | Simple, is it not? |
22021 | Suppose Mr. X, for instance, had said that the landing did not succeed, and had been driven off with immense slaughter? |
22021 | The battalions were thrown at my head when that grand statement was made as to the grand army I commanded; now where are they? |
22021 | The winning post stares us in the face; my old Chief gallops off the course; how can I resist calling out? |
22021 | Then_ why_ did n''t they shell the beaches? |
22021 | These stories about the troops? |
22021 | These"unofficial reports"are"in much the same strain"( perhaps they spring from the same source?). |
22021 | Was Hore Ruthven? |
22021 | Was Williams"out of touch"when he was hit? |
22021 | What arguments-- what pressure-- I wonder can have moved K. to swap horse in mid- Dardanelles? |
22021 | What can I say to that? |
22021 | What do I know of their difficulties, pledges, and enemies-- whether outside or inside the fold? |
22021 | What do they think? |

22021 | What forces would you require to relieve them? |

22021 | When the materials already sent out to Malta and Alexandria have been used up, can the manufacture of grenades at those places cease? |
22021 | Where is it? |
22021 | Where''s the use of M. Millerand''s consulting me over what lies on the far side of a dead wall? |
22021 | Why then does he not act accordingly if he''s in the Almighty know? |

37754 | He turned on them and asked,"Which of you was it who set fire to those bridges yesterday?" |
37754 | Whenever any of us have been at home, among the first inquiries would be,"How is the Third Wisconsin?" |
37754 | Why was it, then, that we had been forced back? |
18103 | ''Ow d''you mean, Sam? |
18103 | ''_ Ere_, who''s''ad that there tea? |
18103 | Are you quite ready? |
18103 | Comment? |
18103 | D''you know what this is all about, sir? |
18103 | For you, sir? |
18103 | How are you getting on? |
18103 | I should n''t think dead cows were bullet- proof, should you? |
18103 | I wonder what is on our left, here? |
18103 | Is a country,he said to himself,"that will not allow its wounded pneumatic tyres to ride upon, worth fighting for?" |
18103 | Is that you? |
18103 | Look here,he mumbled,"how do you know my heart''s strong enough for this sort of thing?" |
18103 | Me and Sam''s goin''on''Midnight Pass''ter- night, ai n''t we, Sam? |
18103 | Nah then, Bill, wotcher doing to New Street Station? |
18103 | No,said the Captain, as much as to say"How should I?" |
18103 | Oo''s the''ole bloke? |
18103 | Qu''est- ce que c''est, le nom de cette village? |
18103 | Qu''est- ce que c''est, le nom de cette village? |
18103 | Qu''est- ce que c''est, le nom de cette village? |
18103 | Sentry, have you seen a battery of artillery and a platoon of----shires pass here? |
18103 | Straight? |
18103 | The one who dashes about? |
18103 | The one who upset the dinner- trays? |
18103 | Well, young feller, how are you? 18103 What are we stopping here for?" |
18103 | What the deuce are you men doing? 18103 What''s that man doing? |
18103 | What''s the matter? |
18103 | What? 18103 Where''s my bier? |
18103 | Which_ is_ ours? |
18103 | Who were you with last night? |
18103 | Who''s on at the Hipper- drome? |
18103 | You? |
18103 | 5 Platoon?" |
18103 | A Name? |
18103 | And all this was not to be? |
18103 | And what next? |
18103 | Anglais? |
18103 | As, overpowered with the sorrow of it, you pass by, the thought steals into your mind,"When will my turn come?" |
18103 | But above all, what would he be like? |
18103 | Ca n''t you see I''m a little upset this morning?" |
18103 | Careless? |
18103 | Could it be possible? |
18103 | Could the ammunition supply be depended upon? |
18103 | Have they pushed us out?" |
18103 | Have you ever heard the tinkering, tapping, thudding sounds made by entrenching implements or spades? |
18103 | He had often read of Meaux; was it not the Bishopric of Bossuet, the stately orator of Louis XIV? |
18103 | How would it turn out? |
18103 | How would the men shape? |
18103 | If so, would he be able to hide it? |
18103 | Is a gentleman to be kept waiting all night for his bier?" |
18103 | Is it roused by the little messengers of death that whizz invisibly by? |
18103 | Is there a word to cope with the situation? |
18103 | Me? |
18103 | On the table in the dining- room, green and cool with its view of the sombre pine wood, stood a long cold drink of what? |
18103 | One gazes with a subtle feeling of affection on one''s limbs, and wonders,"Where shall I get it?" |
18103 | Should he burn as many of them as he could, or overturn them, or beat them down? |
18103 | Should the Subaltern stop and try to lend assistance where he was, or hurry back to his own unit? |
18103 | Suddenly, excitedly, a voice, saturated with fear, cried out from the darkness,"Who goes there?" |
18103 | The enemy here, in the western corner of Belgium? |
18103 | Then, as he recognised an old soldier of the regiment,"Atkins, how dare you expose yourself unnecessarily? |
18103 | There had been disturbing cries of"What''s all this abart?" |
18103 | There is at such moments an odd desire to give way to the temptation of saying to oneself,"Where shall I be in an hour''s time?" |
18103 | They were wondering every second of the time,"How far have the Germans got? |
18103 | Was a disgraceful and bloody massacre about to begin? |
18103 | Was a stand going to be made at last? |
18103 | Was he abashed? |
18103 | Was it Villiers? |
18103 | Was it a chance shot, or would the Germans land a direct"hit"next time? |
18103 | Was n''t it funny? |
18103 | What did it mean? |
18103 | What did this mean? |
18103 | What had happened? |
18103 | What time was it then? |
18103 | What was it? |
18103 | What was that? |
18103 | What was this? |
18103 | What would happen? |
18103 | What would he do? |
18103 | What would he have"to follow"? |
18103 | When and Why? |
18103 | Whence comes the love of battle? |
18103 | Where next? |
18103 | Where would the world go to? |
18103 | Where''s my bier? |
18103 | Who d''ju think''s comin''after you?" |
18103 | Whose? |
18103 | Why did n''t I?" |
18103 | Why is it? |
18103 | Why not once again? |
18103 | Why should any one be clean and shaven when his own face was smeared with dirt and stubble? |
18103 | Why should any one have shining boots, when his own were dull and bursting? |
18103 | Would he feel afraid? |
18103 | Would he remember the war as vividly as he then remembered all that? |
18103 | Would his men follow him well? |
18103 | Yet the words kept surging through his brain:"To die... to sleep... in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?... |
18103 | double F.R.E? |
18103 | give a thought to yer ruddy comrades, ca n''t yer?" |
18103 | said he,"tous partis? |
15829 | But, who are the birds for? |
15829 | Can he be removed if I promise to fulfil all these conditions? |
15829 | Chatterbox,said he,"how would you like to ride home with me and stay awhile, until your mother gets better? |
15829 | Did any one else go? |
15829 | Hey, old nigger, what''s in that great bundle? 15829 It is a dipping- stick; do n''t you chaw snuff?" |
15829 | Mornin'', little missy,said she, pleasantly;"is you gwine ter sleep all day?" |
15829 | No? 15829 Sure, what wad a lady be wantin''in a place like this?" |
15829 | THE QUICK OR THE DEAD? |
15829 | Well, did she eat breakfast with you? |
15829 | What is your name, and how did you get here? |
15829 | What the devil is all this fuss about? 15829 Where is Sophy? |
15829 | Who is on the front? |
15829 | Who stole it? |
15829 | Why, Peter,cried I,"you are crazy:_ who_ called me names, and what did they call me?" |
15829 | Why, Winnie,said Mrs. Grey,"what does this mean? |
15829 | Why, comrade,I replied,"I thought you would like to have a lady to nurse you?" |
15829 | Why, father,said I,"whoever heard of paying ten dollars for needles and thread?" |
15829 | Wot you makin''all dis miration''bout? 15829 You is too inquisity;''sides, who you call nigga''? |
15829 | You wo n''t hurt my mamma? 15829 Amazed, I questioned why? 15829 An''how dem dar gwine to do''out ole Winnie? |
15829 | And what of the unfaltering_ followers_, whose valor supported their brave leaders and helped to_ create_ many a splendid record? |
15829 | At once Maum Winnie''s voice was heard inquiring,--"Who dat?" |
15829 | But why is he not fired upon? |
15829 | Can imagination conceive a situation more pitiable? |
15829 | Did one thirst? |
15829 | Did you ever hear of such badness?" |
15829 | Do you wonder, then, that I love to call those comrades of mine"my boys"? |
15829 | Does it seem strange to you that I call these bronzed and bearded men"my_ boys_?" |
15829 | Does it seem to you that this was exceptional, dear reader? |
15829 | Dr. Beatty was worried about the sick, but under the circumstances what could he do? |
15829 | Faith, an''if_ ye''re_ a sinner, where wad the saints be?" |
15829 | He set down the cup, looked at me with queer, half- shut eyes, then remarked,"Yer ga- assin''now, ai n''t ye?" |
15829 | His thought was,"Can that color- bearer have repeated his blow, or am I struck by a ball, which has deadened the sense of feeling?" |
15829 | How can I convey to you the impressions there received? |
15829 | How can ye sing, ye little birds, and I so weary, fu''o''care?" |
15829 | I did not understand, so he explained, with a comic leer at the others,--"Sure, have n''t I always the''_ lone hand_''on thim?" |
15829 | I had but to mention her name to ask,"Do you know Mrs. Caldwell, of the''Refuge?''" |
15829 | I said to him,"Now, what would_ you_ like?" |
15829 | I said,"Doctor, in tent No.---- there is a very sick man; can we look at the books and learn what diagnosis his surgeon has made?" |
15829 | I tould him,''And what have_ you_ to say to what you done to_ our_ poor fellows?'' |
15829 | Immediately Maum Winnie would appear, the very picture of dignified astonishment,--"Now, Miss Nelly,_ ai n''t_ you''shame''? |
15829 | In reply to his question,"was he badly hurt?" |
15829 | Instead of taking it out of his vest- pocket, father opened his pocket- book and said,--"Did you say you wanted_ ten dollars_ or ten_ cents_, my boy?" |
15829 | Little girl, where is your mamma? |
15829 | My dear young friends, have you ever heard of a disease called"nostalgia?" |
15829 | Nelly at once began,--"Oh, Maum Winnie, who are those birds for? |
15829 | Oh, lady,_ will_ they do my daddy like this?" |
15829 | Oh, these must be run off and saved,--but how? |
15829 | Oh, was it not hard to believe that"whatever is is right?" |
15829 | Oh,_ whar_ he? |
15829 | One of these fellows then said,"Well, I''m a Kentuckian too, what have you got to say about me?" |
15829 | Or who can listen unmoved to the music of the cannon which so often woke the morning echoes upon the bloodiest battle- field of the war? |
15829 | Shall I describe to you this room-- or my suite of rooms? |
15829 | She had to ride all the way on a wagon drawn by a steer( oh, mothers, can you not imagine the agony which attended that lengthened journey? |
15829 | Suddenly,--"Jim, can this be you?" |
15829 | Their stricken hearts cried out to all the beautiful things of nature,--"How can ye bloom so fresh and fair? |
15829 | There was a great deal of"geeing"and"hawing"and fuss, and then, instead of getting down, the farmer called out,--"Say, are you all asleep?" |
15829 | They asked me,''What have you in that bag?'' |
15829 | They seemed to her so precious, so sacred, that they must have sepulchre; but how should she accomplish this end? |
15829 | Upon the sideboard stood a tray which had contained breakfast for somebody; Nelly wondered who, and suddenly asked,--"Is mamma sick?" |
15829 | Wat I want to be free for? |
15829 | Well, what is it?" |
15829 | Whar dat chile cum from dis time o''nite?" |
15829 | What are you in the kitchen cooking for?" |
15829 | What is all this about your feather- bed?" |
15829 | What should I do now? |
15829 | What you got in there, anyhow?" |
15829 | When I would ask,"Are you sorry, Beau?" |
15829 | Where did you get this money, and why do you give it to me?" |
15829 | Where is the cook? |
15829 | Who can wonder that their brave defenders were the idols of a grateful people? |
15829 | Who does not remember the sorrow of a nation at his death? |
15829 | Who gwine keer''bout me? |
15829 | Will you lead me to her?" |
15829 | You ar''n''t going to burn up Maum Winnie''s house?" |
15829 | _ Could_ it be true? |
15829 | better this morning? |
15829 | cried the negro,"did n''t I tole you dat? |
15829 | great God, is this Dave?" |
15829 | were_ these_ the brave men who had made forever glorious the name of Shiloh? |
15829 | what are you going to do with that mustard- plaster? |
15829 | what has happened to her?" |
15829 | why must it be that grief and glory always go hand in hand? |
33179 | Any other name? |
33179 | How far is it to Germania Ford? |
33179 | I should go for his gloves? |
33179 | Was he killed in the battle? |
33179 | Were you there during the fight? |
33179 | What do the people down here say this war is about? |
33179 | What should you go for, Gus? |
33179 | What should you go for, Tom? |
33179 | Where was your husband? |
33179 | Where were you hit? |
33179 | Who lives in that house we have just passed? |
33179 | Will you lend me my Nigger, Colonel? |
33179 | An officer stuck his head out of a nearby tent and shouted,"Why did n''t you bring in the whole regiment while you were about it?" |
33179 | As they were passing his place one time, he said to his wife in the morning as they began to pass,"Wife, shall we do something for these men? |
33179 | But it afforded us some amusement and what did we care for mules''ears or men''s ears, for that matter? |
33179 | But what could one man do with one little revolver, when faced by two or three hundred veterans of many a bloody military and whiskey campaign? |
33179 | Finally, she said in a rather saucy way,"Why do n''t you play it yourself?" |
33179 | He looked at his gloves for an instant, and with an oath demanded"What is that?" |
33179 | How different the aspect two months later as we were about to leave there? |
33179 | My shoes were loaded with Virginia mud; could I jump it? |
33179 | Were n''t we indignant one noon? |
33179 | What a railroad that was? |
33179 | What could we do? |
33179 | What you- all come down here for-- to invade our country and run away with our niggers? |
33179 | When I reached headquarters the colonel came out of his tent and came up to me and said,"What have you been up to, Mad?" |
31158 | But how are we to know where you are? |
31158 | Certainly; what''s the matter with it? |
31158 | In that dress? |
31158 | What is he saying? |
31158 | Where do you propose to go? |
31158 | Where do you think you are going? 31158 Why,"it may be asked,"did not Admiral Sampson fight his way into the harbor, if its defenses were so weak?" |
31158 | ( 2) Can I disembark my army in a harbor, or shall I have to land it on an open, unprotected coast, and perhaps through surf? |
31158 | Could I be permitted to ask to see them under flag of truce? |
31158 | The question naturally arises, Why? |
31158 | The questions naturally arise, Was this state of affairs inevitable, or might it have been foreseen as a possibility and averted? |
31158 | The questions then recur, Why did not the army have such food, clothes, and equipment as would have made obedience to the laws of health possible? |
31158 | To church?" |
31158 | Were the difficulties insuperable? |
31158 | What business have you here? |
31158 | What should be done then? |
31158 | Will history write us blameless? |
31158 | Will it not be said of us that we completed the scheme of extermination commenced by Weyler? |
31158 | Will not the world hold us accountable? |
31158 | Would not the men have been forthcoming, and would not the desired information have been obtained? |
31158 | of them fell out of the ranks from exhaustion in a march of five miles? |
2616 | Any chickens? |
2616 | Any eggs? |
2616 | Any flour or grain? |
2616 | Are you a member of the other House? |
2616 | Are you the Governor of a State? |
2616 | Certainly not"Have you ever had a vote of thanks by name? |
2616 | Do you think you could become so interested in my conversation as not to notice the door- keeper? |
2616 | Have you any meat? |
2616 | Is anybody in the house? |
2616 | Is it locked up? |
2616 | Is no one about who can get in? |
2616 | Now, where is the proper place to break it? |
2616 | Well,said he,"what do you want of me?" |
2616 | Well,said he,"why do n''t you go into the gallery?" |
2616 | What do you live on? |
2616 | What is your badge? |
2616 | Why? |
2616 | 1, but are in the immediate neighborhood, on their plantations? |
2616 | A few days afterward the husband again appealed to his commanding officer( Taylor), who exclaimed:"Have n''t you got a musket? |
2616 | After shaking hands all round, the Governor said,"Coleman, what the devil is the matter here?" |
2616 | At every meal the steward would come to me, and say,"Captain Sherman, will you bring your ladies to the table?" |
2616 | Ca n''t you defend your own family?" |
2616 | Can we whip the South? |
2616 | General Halleck had a map on his table, with a large pencil in his hand, and asked,"where is the rebel line?" |
2616 | Governor of a State? |
2616 | Halleck''s telegram of last night says:"Who sent Smith''s division to Nashville? |
2616 | Has any thing been heard from the troops ordered from Vicksburg? |
2616 | He asked me,"Where?" |
2616 | He dropped out of the retinue with an orderly, and after we had ridden a mile or so he overtook us, and I asked him,"What luck?" |
2616 | He inquired,"Why not both?" |
2616 | He said:"What is the use of your persevering? |
2616 | He then asked in his quizzical way,"Are you a foreign embassador?" |
2616 | He then said,"Have you any impudence?" |
2616 | He turned to me and said,"Ca n''t you take your regiment up there?" |
2616 | I answered, rather shortly,''How the devil do you know there is a masked battery? |
2616 | I answered:"How can you go to New York? |
2616 | I asked Deshler:"What does this mean? |
2616 | I had on my undress uniform indicating my rank, and inquired of the sentinel,"Is General Fremont up?" |
2616 | I said I had come to see him on business; and he added,"You do n''t suppose that he will see such as you?" |
2616 | I touched it and examined one or two of the larger pieces, and asked,"Is it gold?" |
2616 | If you ca n''t get over, how can the rebels get at you?'' |
2616 | In that event, would it not be possible for you to become a citizen of our State? |
2616 | Major Childs inquired,"Where is Coacoochee?" |
2616 | Major W. T. Sherman: Will you accept the chief clerkship of the War Department? |
2616 | Mason said to me,"What is that?" |
2616 | Member of Congress?" |
2616 | Mr. Lincoln, who was still standing, said,"Threatened to shoot you?" |
2616 | Of parties claiming foreign protection? |
2616 | Renick said,"What do you want with General Fremont?" |
2616 | Sherman said to me:"Admiral, how could you make such a remark to McClernand? |
2616 | So that among the younger officers the query was very natural,"Who the devil is Governor of California?" |
2616 | The Governor knocked at the door, and on inquiry from inside"Who''s there?" |
2616 | We then returned to Benicia, and Wool''s first question was,"What luck?" |
2616 | What can I do for you?" |
2616 | When ground is owned by parties who have gone south, and have leased the ground to parties now in the city who own the improvements on the ground? |
2616 | When houses are occupied and the owner has gone south, leaving an agent to collect rent for his benefit? |
2616 | When houses are owned by loyal citizens, but are unoccupied? |
2616 | When movable property is found in stores that are closed? |
2616 | When parties owning houses have gone south, and the tenant has given his notes for the rent in advance? |
2616 | When parties who occupy the house are creditors of the owner, who has gone south? |
2616 | When the owner has gone south, and parties here hold liens on the property and are collecting the rents to satisfy their liens? |
2616 | When the owner lives in town, and refuses to take the oath of allegiance? |
2616 | When the tenant has expended several months''rent in repairs on the house? |
2616 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
2616 | Wo n''t you speak your mind freely on this question of slavery, that so agitates the land? |
2616 | said Mr. Lincoln,"how are they getting along down there?" |
2616 | where are they to come from?" |
31895 | Do you live in Greenville? |
31895 | Have you got any showance? |
31895 | How is it, then, that this young man wears the Confederate uniform? |
31895 | Howde massa? |
31895 | Is you a Yankee, massa? |
31895 | Uncle, did you ever see a Yankee? |
31895 | Well, who said I was n''t? |
31895 | Well,said I,"then you go past Free Mitchell''s, do n''t you?" |
31895 | Where are you going? |
31895 | Will you ever mind them fellows again? |
31895 | After a while, looking around to assure himself that no Confederate officer was near, he asked in a low tone,"what d''ye ask for it?" |
31895 | Again, thanks to DOCTOR BRETS''generosity(?) |
31895 | And, shall I confess it, in a fit of absent- mindedness(?) |
31895 | As he would call upon us to fall in again for count, some one would say,"well Sergeant what was the matter that time? |
31895 | Dick Hancock the Sergeant, asked, to what command do you belong? |
31895 | Got any new issue to spare? |
31895 | Had they come to relieve those who had thus far been our guards, and with whom we had became somewhat familiar? |
31895 | Had they come to take us to Richmond to be exchanged? |
31895 | Have n''t you heard that Richmond has fallen? |
31895 | He saluted me with,"hello Cooper, you here and sober? |
31895 | He was about handing the gun to me, when the Lieutenant stopped him by saying:"You d-- d fool, do you know what you are carrying that gun for? |
31895 | It made a fellow''s blood boil to witness and suffer such indignities; but what could we do under such circumstances? |
31895 | Or had they been merely sent here, to more securely guard against any attempted outbreak? |
31895 | Soon we were all comfortably(?) |
31895 | The first question they would ask upon meeting an acquaintance would be,"Do you hear anything about exchange?" |
31895 | The question would then be asked,"Do you promise to support the Constitution of the United States?" |
31895 | To the question,"well boy, do you want to be made a Yankee?" |
31895 | Was that what you was looking for Sergeant? |
31895 | Was there too many of us or not enough? |
31895 | What kind of an arithmetic did you study when you went to school? |
31895 | What man in the North could look on complacently and see such a cruel punishment inflicted? |
31895 | When they came along I saluted the Captain and asked,"Whar youans going, Captain?" |
31895 | Where are you going? |
31895 | Who comes there?" |
31895 | You load up Saturday night and shoot all the week, do n''t you?" |
31895 | You''ens Yanks think you are d-- d cute, do n''t you? |
31895 | on the skirmish line, what luck?" |
31895 | why, Frank how much do you think this breakfast cost?" |
11011 | All right? |
11011 | And for Uhlans? |
11011 | And the French? |
11011 | Any one else here speak English? |
11011 | Are all the bridges down? |
11011 | Captain Edwards''s compliments,he said,"and will you be so kind as to explain to me exactly where you think the Uhlans are hidden?" |
11011 | Captain,I asked,"do you think there is any danger in my staying here?" |
11011 | Dear little lady,he said,"I wonder if there is any tea left for me?" |
11011 | Did I live alone? |
11011 | Do you know where it is? |
11011 | Do you think,he replied,"that you could get me a couple of fresh eggs at half- past seven and let me have a cold wash- up?" |
11011 | How far off is it? |
11011 | How much risk am I running by remaining here? |
11011 | Is there anything I can do for you, captain? |
11011 | Live here with your daughter? |
11011 | Live here? |
11011 | Lived here long? |
11011 | Married? |
11011 | May I be very indiscreet? |
11011 | Some of us will get killed, but what of that? 11011 Staying on?" |
11011 | Was I afraid? |
11011 | Was n''t that your daughter I met? |
11011 | Water? |
11011 | Well, Amelie? |
11011 | Well, then,I replied,"do n''t you want to sleep here to- night?" |
11011 | What are you doing here? |
11011 | What are you doing here? |
11011 | What are you doing here? |
11011 | What does that mean? |
11011 | What regiment? |
11011 | What town is that? |
11011 | What town is that? |
11011 | What was that? |
11011 | What''s that thing? |
11011 | When? |
11011 | Where are they? |
11011 | Where are you going? |
11011 | Where did you come from? |
11011 | Who put it there? |
11011 | Wooded all the way? |
11011 | You are not afraid? |
11011 | You do n''t live here alone? |
11011 | You want to come back? |
11011 | --but where was the good? |
11011 | Are you answered? |
11011 | Being caught, he looked up at once and said:"So you are not afraid?" |
11011 | Besides, did you ever know the English bulldog to let go? |
11011 | But did n''t I come near to losing it? |
11011 | But who knows? |
11011 | Did I keep it to myself well? |
11011 | Do you understand?" |
11011 | He looked a little surprised, asked a few questions-- how long they had been there? |
11011 | He looked at me a moment before he asked,"You want to know the truth?" |
11011 | He looked at me for the first time-- and softened his tone a bit-- my white hair and beastly accent, I suppose-- as he asked:"What is it for?" |
11011 | How far are we from Paris?" |
11011 | I am afraid he found it so, because he said at once,"Could you give me a drink before I go?" |
11011 | I asked what that was for? |
11011 | I had not been out there since Saturday night-- was it less than forty- eight hours before? |
11011 | I looked at it-- and for the first time it occurred to me to say,"What is that?" |
11011 | I might have replied literally,"Offer? |
11011 | I wanted to ask,"When will it be the''last minute''--and what does the''last minute''mean?" |
11011 | I went out to the gate where the corporal of the guard was standing, and asked him,"Do I hear cannon?" |
11011 | If that-- why not here? |
11011 | If we screen our hospital behind a building and a shell comes over and blows us up, how can we swear the shell was aimed at us?" |
11011 | In the back of my mind-- pushed back as hard as I could-- stood the question-- what was to become of all this? |
11011 | Is it not a pity, for early association''s sake, that it has not one more? |
11011 | Is n''t that droll? |
11011 | Is n''t the mind a queer thing? |
11011 | It is a compelling idea, is n''t it? |
11011 | Of course I do not deny that I shall miss the inspiration of your contradictions-- or do you call it repartee? |
11011 | Often they disappear from view, not because they have passed a horizon line, but simply because they have passed out of the range of my vision-? |
11011 | So I said,"Amelie, do you want to do me a great service?" |
11011 | That seemed to mean that the heaviest firing was over the hill and not on it,--or did it mean that the battle was receding? |
11011 | The only thing I had the sense to call out was:--"Where''d you come from?" |
11011 | The"Paths of Glory lead but to the grave,"so what matters it, really, out by what door one goes? |
11011 | Things like that make a man feel immune-- but Who knows?" |
11011 | Was it possible that it was only a week ago that I had heard the drum beat for the disarming of the Seine et Marne? |
11011 | Was there really going to come a day when all the beauty around me would not be a mockery? |
11011 | What do you think of that? |
11011 | What was the good? |
11011 | What would they have done if the detachment of Uhlans we are watching for had dashed up that hill-- as they might have?" |
11011 | When I had explained, he simply said,"Rough road?" |
11011 | When I said,"Best girl?" |
11011 | When they can not, what then? |
11011 | Who knows which of us is right?--or if our difference of opinion may not be a difference in our years? |
11011 | Who knows which of us is right?--or if our difference of opinion may not be a difference in our years? |
11011 | Who knows? |
11011 | Who knows? |
11011 | Will you please gather up what you wish to save, and it can be hidden there?" |
11011 | You are not afraid?" |
11011 | You ask me also how it happens that I am living again"near by Quincy?" |
11011 | and if I had seen them? |
11011 | how many? |
11011 | where they were? |
33035 | All right, Kunnel,said the captain;"how much do you want?" |
33035 | But if he had been? |
33035 | But suppose he asks for money or is suspicious? |
33035 | Cab or carriage, gents? |
33035 | Certainly; will you ride or walk? |
33035 | Do you think it possible to do this? |
33035 | Have a cab? |
33035 | How are things up North? 33035 How can I tell? |
33035 | How can I tell? |
33035 | To Camp Ford,replied Armstrong;"will you be kind enough to show us the way?" |
33035 | What brigade? |
33035 | What division? |
33035 | What will you tell him, Swiggett? |
33035 | What would you have said, Swiggett, if he had named a price? |
33035 | When he does or is I will meet him; but, boys, how on earth can you tell what to do or say till you know what you have to overcome? 33035 Ca n''t you see that the man has his hands full? 33035 Ca n''t you stay awhile? |
33035 | Can you not send us under guard to look for them?" |
33035 | Did you ever try to find a place to rest when everything upon which you could possibly sit or lie was soaking wet? |
33035 | Did you ever try to sleep in a standing posture, or to rest in like position for any length of time? |
33035 | Got any mail? |
33035 | Hev us ter kerry thim ter hev''em handy loike?" |
33035 | How can a fellow get across this infernal river?" |
33035 | How did you leave the folks? |
33035 | How is it?" |
33035 | We knew that we were lost and had come a long distance since taking the right(?) |
18292 | Are you with the infantry? |
18292 | Are you wounded? |
18292 | Asleep up there in the barn,said I;"why did n''t you call us?" |
18292 | Aw, what the hell are you getting at? 18292 Billy, do n''t you want to live to get back home? |
18292 | But how did you come to get into a Canadian unit? |
18292 | Cheer up, Billy, cheer up, old pal, how in hell are we going to pull through if you give way like this? |
18292 | Did the cow stop in front of your gun? |
18292 | Did you know him? |
18292 | Did you notice anything peculiar in the farmer''s actions? |
18292 | Did you want to kill yourself? |
18292 | Did you want to see me, sir? |
18292 | Do n''t you know enough to salute your superior officer? 18292 Do n''t you know how to salute? |
18292 | Do you remember that night I was telling you about when I was out observing? |
18292 | Fellows, are you ready? |
18292 | For what, Messieurs? 18292 Hello, matey, what you doing out here?" |
18292 | Here, you soldier, what are you running away for? |
18292 | How about the others? |
18292 | How can I? 18292 How did he come to be down here?" |
18292 | How does it happen,said he, in support of his suspicion,"that he always has a little change when the rest of us are broke?" |
18292 | I can plainly see that, but what makes it that color? 18292 I do n''t know; how should I know?" |
18292 | Is your name Grant? |
18292 | Oh, repairing the wire, were you? 18292 Sergeant, would you kindly help us to a drink of water?" |
18292 | Shell grazed him at Mons? 18292 That so?" |
18292 | Then why are you not with your men? |
18292 | Thinking? 18292 Well, did n''t you hear me say we''d be over there shortly?" |
18292 | Well, if it was n''t the cookhouse, is it that letter that is coming for you tonight? |
18292 | Were you wounded? |
18292 | What are they here for? |
18292 | What are you doing out here wandering around in this fashion? |
18292 | What are you going to shoot at? |
18292 | What did you do that for? |
18292 | What did your dog run at me for? |
18292 | What do you want? |
18292 | What happened? |
18292 | What in hell are you fellows doing around here again? |
18292 | What is it, Billy? 18292 What is it, Billy? |
18292 | What the hell are you hanging around here for? 18292 What''s that?" |
18292 | What''s the matter, Canada? |
18292 | What''s the matter, Corporal, winded? |
18292 | What''s them bloody things? |
18292 | When are you going to fire? |
18292 | Where have you been, Henderson? |
18292 | Where is he now? |
18292 | Where is that damned fool of a Sergeant- Major? |
18292 | Where the hell were you fellows? |
18292 | Where we lost Thompson and the others when the flare went up? 18292 Who are you?" |
18292 | Who in hell broke into those hives? |
18292 | Who owns these? |
18292 | Why did n''t he come at me with his other end? |
18292 | Why did n''t you hit him with the other end? |
18292 | Why did you take the pin out? |
18292 | Why do n''t you go and look them up? |
18292 | Wo n''t you wait a moment, sir, and see the Major? 18292 Wot the bloody''ell will Fritz think of these beauties? |
18292 | You bleedin''idiot,I said,"do n''t you know a mushroom when you see it? |
18292 | You know what happened Lawrence, do n''t you? 18292 Almost desperate, I shouted in his ear,Billy, old pal, think of your mother and father; what would the old man say if he saw you acting like this? |
18292 | And for what?" |
18292 | But how can sympathy obtain for devils in human form? |
18292 | Did n''t I tell you to beat it to the wagon lines before you got hit? |
18292 | Did you hear that, Grant?" |
18292 | Do n''t you know how to stand to attention?" |
18292 | Do n''t you know what it will mean to your mother and your father if anything happens to you? |
18292 | Do you think he really means it?" |
18292 | Do you think your horseshoe luck is going to stay with you forever? |
18292 | Do you want to let someone else gang hungry? |
18292 | Do you want to wish it on yourself?" |
18292 | Have you got a sup of hot tea, Scotty?" |
18292 | He asked permission of my husband, who was a loyal Belgian, to use our house-- for what? |
18292 | He called out,"Grant, I do n''t quite get this safety catch and bolt; would you mind showing it to me again?" |
18292 | His teeth chattered like the keys of a typewriter as he asked me,"What do you think will come o''it, Grant? |
18292 | How many messages did you send them last night, Sergeant?" |
18292 | In a half- humorous, half- scolding voice he would say,"Mon, what do you want to be a hog for? |
18292 | Is that so?" |
18292 | Is that you, Burt? |
18292 | It was blood, but whose? |
18292 | Pete''s answers to the officer, while respectful, were tantalizing to a degree:"What did you do that for?" |
18292 | The cookhouse? |
18292 | Then he saw me standing there and he yelled,"Do you think there''ll be any more?" |
18292 | Thinking of what? |
18292 | Well, what''s the use of tempting fate? |
18292 | Well, you know that big Prussian I told you about, that came so near getting me? |
18292 | What bloody well nonsense is this? |
18292 | What do you mean?" |
18292 | What do you say?" |
18292 | What''s the trouble?" |
18292 | Where is your battery operating?" |
18292 | Where will I meet you?" |
18292 | Which ones you shoot first? |
18292 | Who goes there?" |
18292 | Who goes there?" |
18292 | Who was the guy that got the mushrooms?" |
18292 | Why did n''t you stay in your trenches?" |
18292 | You are going, are n''t you?" |
18292 | You get me, Reg, do n''t you?" |
18292 | You, Grant, who has done this?" |
18292 | he asked me;"I mean, with his white cow?" |
33631 | Do you know Colonel Dent? |
33631 | Halloa, how long have you been ashore? |
33631 | Have I not seen you before? |
33631 | Hello, Mike, where did you come from? 33631 How many have you eaten?" |
33631 | How much in advance? |
33631 | Mike,''ow''s''er''ead? |
33631 | What do you''uns want to come down here and whip we''uns for? |
33631 | Why do you select me to carry letters for a man about whom I know nothing? |
33631 | Why in---- did n''t you tell me to? |
33631 | You want to ship, do n''t you? 33631 -- are these the men? |
33631 | --"For God''s sake, what is that?" |
33631 | ----,-- who enticed you from this office? |
33631 | After awhile I asked about the ale-- why they did not bring it? |
33631 | Before I could say a word he gave a terrible yell; then he stuttered out,"Por Dios, que es esta?" |
33631 | Father--"Why, George, do you use tobacco?" |
33631 | Had not the commandant of the Boston navy yard reported the Perry as ready for sea? |
33631 | He was curtly told to"Go to----""Do you fellows know who Billy Shackleford is?" |
33631 | How can I deliver them to him?" |
33631 | How did you know my name?" |
33631 | On the way I was told that a brig bound for the West Indies needed a crew, and would I ship on her? |
33631 | The only question with us was, What kind of fish will the next be? |
33631 | What was the result? |
33631 | When he had got the salt water out of his mouth, he wanted to know"what in---- we were trying to do with him?" |
33631 | Will you take them?" |
38167 | A prominent, burning question of the day and time is that of woman suffrage, and why not give them the right to vote? |
38167 | Can any person now living even speculate? |
38167 | Did she not, by means of her persuasive arguments, induce, through mother Eve, the father of men, Adam, to eat of the forbidden fruit? |
38167 | If things are such in this, the twentieth century of the Christian era, what may the next one show forth to the eyes and imaginations of mortals? |
38167 | Is there anything in my conduct here displeasing to you? |
38167 | Now what is it that a good smart woman can not accomplish? |
38167 | Now who can safely foretell what may happen within the next half century? |
38167 | Or did they shirk their duty to their country so very adroitly that they hate to be reminded of it? |
38167 | Perkins replied, sir, do I perform my duty satisfactorily to your house? |
38167 | Well, then, as I was also born in Accomack, does not that make us cousins? |
36778 | Why, do n''t you see,says the master,"how rough the sea is? |
36778 | A fellow in the shape of an officer asked Colonel Smith,( I think it was,)"Well, what do you think of we Yankees? |
36778 | Besides, if an officer plunders before his men, what may not soldiers be expected to do? |
36778 | But how could the poor Africans learn any thing that is good from those who do not practise good themselves? |
36778 | Did n''t the French beat the troops of every other continental nation? |
36778 | Did n''t you beat the French in the Peninsula? |
36778 | Do n''t you think we could lick any of the troops of the continent easily?" |
36778 | It is true Sir Thomas Graham early cut off their retreat by the great road to France; but what then? |
36778 | What would I not have given for a good drink? |
36778 | Why did he so much weaken his force on the conical hill to support his left? |
36778 | and have n''t we beat you just now?" |
36778 | what is keeping us back?" |
36778 | what were my feelings then? |
33426 | Are you sure you''re not dreaming from the excitement of this terrible day? |
33426 | Is that you, Maister Russell? 33426 ''Where are the rebels?'' 33426 And why not weavers''beams as in the days of Goliath? 33426 But my readers may ask-- What has all this to do with the portrait of the Nânâ Sâhib? 33426 But to what good? 33426 But what was the result? 33426 General Mansfield replied in the affirmative; and Sir Colin, turning to Lee, said,Do you think the breach is wide enough, Dobbin?" |
33426 | Have British soldiers quailed Before the rebel mutineers?-- Has British valour failed? |
33426 | Have we got Robin Hood and Little John back again? |
33426 | He at once apologised to Puller for having struck him, and added,"How will I manage to bite my cartridges the noo?" |
33426 | He then asked me if I knew why Major Neill was murdered? |
33426 | How did it happen?" |
33426 | Jack Brian turned round with a look of disgust, saying:"Wha do ye tak''us for? |
33426 | Need it be told to how many fields of danger and victory the warlike strains of the bagpipes have led? |
33426 | On this I asked him,"Were you in Cawnpore when the Mutiny broke out?" |
33426 | So turning to him I said:"You have served in the army; are you one of the sepoys of 1857?" |
33426 | The next question put was,"Is the road clear to Allahabad?" |
33426 | Then, why attempt to deprive them of it, merely to please a score or so of sentimental faddists? |
33426 | What became of it all? |
33426 | What can a poor_ bâboo_ do with such wild Highlanders?" |
33426 | What was the name of this governess, and, above all, why go for its origin to such an out- of- the- way place as Jersey? |
33426 | Who ever heard of a Highland regiment going into action without their bagpipes and pipers, unless the latter were all"kilt"? |
33426 | With that some one from the ranks called out,"Will we get a medal for this, Sir Colin?" |
33426 | You''ll never send us on fatigue- duty because we captured those guns that the Pandies were carrying off? |
33426 | [ 49] Is it necessary to explain that sixteen annas go to the rupee? |
40767 | Amazed, I exclaimed,"Why, who has sent me anything?" |
40767 | And do you remember how I used to ride about alone on your pet horse? |
40767 | And little Frank has lifted his blue eyes to his mother as if to inquire,''Will that man take away my aunty?'' |
40767 | And where had this very heavy, old music book, in his possession, been found? |
40767 | At the end of his visit he came to bid us farewell, and said to me:"Miss Nannie, I have a request to make of you, will you grant it?" |
40767 | Bostick?" |
40767 | He exclaimed,"Why Mrs. De Saussure, what are you doing here?" |
40767 | He sprang from his chair exclaiming,"What do you know about her?" |
40767 | In the meantime, before we could expect any monetary return from this industry, what else could we do to better our condition? |
18497 | And my baggage? |
18497 | And prisoners? |
18497 | And the French? |
18497 | Any attempts to repair their wire at night? |
18497 | Are you going out to be strafed at? |
18497 | But would n''t you take some of Germany if you could? |
18497 | Did you see the charge? |
18497 | Do you see why we love France? |
18497 | Have you seen the tanks? |
18497 | How about the dugouts? |
18497 | How much of it? |
18497 | How? |
18497 | On the lances? |
18497 | What are we stopping here for? |
18497 | What did you most want to do when you got out of the fight? |
18497 | What do you think of our patent barrage, now? |
18497 | What is the best time to go out to the front? |
18497 | What is_ Ã la mode_? |
18497 | What kind of a''bus would you like? |
18497 | What part of Canada do you come from? |
18497 | What part of the west? |
18497 | When are you going? |
18497 | Who would n''t surrender when a beast of that kind came up to the door? 18497 Why not go up to the mess and make yourself comfortable, and return about three? |
18497 | Why not? |
18497 | Why not? |
18497 | With your numbers so depleted, was n''t it a question whether or not it was wise for you to attempt to carry out the full plan? |
18497 | Wounded? |
18497 | You actually got some? |
18497 | You''re sure, Captain? |
18497 | Again and again in our mess and in all of the messes at the front, and wherever men gathered the world over, the question, Can the line be broken? |
18497 | And guns?" |
18497 | And personal experiences? |
18497 | And that hateful Trônes Wood? |
18497 | And the future? |
18497 | And their staff? |
18497 | Can you imagine Washington keeping a military secret? |
18497 | Could anybody be alive in Beaumont- Hamel? |
18497 | Could there be higher praise? |
18497 | Did n''t he know that the German infantry was only the other side of the knoll and that two or three score German batteries were in range? |
18497 | Did n''t they know that another twenty yards meant death? |
18497 | Did the Germans know that the tanks were building? |
18497 | England was fighting to save her island, France for the sanctity of her soil, but what was Canada fighting for? |
18497 | Had I ever flown before? |
18497 | Had Sir Douglas Haig made an army equal to the task? |
18497 | Had he something new? |
18497 | Had n''t that battery commander mistaken his directions when he emplaced his howitzers behind a bluff in the old No Man''s Land? |
18497 | Had the French or the Germans something new? |
18497 | Had these men who were mechanically slipping shells into the gun- breeches slept last night or the previous night? |
18497 | Had we taken that, too, as a part of the tidal wave of a broad attack instead of trying to take it piecemeal? |
18497 | Have n''t I also looked across No Man''s Land toward the enemy''s parapet? |
18497 | Have we enough of everything? |
18497 | How many dugouts were still intact and secure refuges for the waiting Germans? |
18497 | If the Canadians did not particularly love the Germans, do you see any reason why the Germans should love the Canadians? |
18497 | If the shell had exploded? |
18497 | If two tanks were to meet in a duel, would they try to ram each other after ineffectually rapping each other with their machine guns? |
18497 | Is he a soldier? |
18497 | It''s jolly out here, is n''t it?" |
18497 | Now, what would a Brass Hat say in such an awkward emergency? |
18497 | Of course, when it takes forty years to make a staff how could the Australians have one that could hold its own with the Germans? |
18497 | One night when a company rose up to the charge the company next in line called out,"Where are you going?" |
18497 | Over in London my friends surprised me by exclaiming,"What are you doing here?" |
18497 | Shall I describe that town on the banks of the Meuse which has been described many times? |
18497 | Should they, the Prussians, be beaten by New Army men? |
18497 | Some people might ask why Canada should be pouring out her blood in Europe; what had Flanders to do with her? |
18497 | Temperament? |
18497 | These Germans had to make a quick decision: Would they try a leap for the dugouts or a leap to the rear? |
18497 | Was Delville Wood worse than High Wood? |
18497 | Was General Byng pleased with his Byng Boys? |
18497 | Was his superior, the army commander, pleased with the Canadians? |
18497 | Was it because of the success of the first gas attack at Ypres that they now placed such reliance in gas shells? |
18497 | Was it dream or reality that you were walking about in the first- line German trenches? |
18497 | Was n''t it merely pounding the graves of a garrison? |
18497 | Was n''t it so always? |
18497 | Was n''t it their place to take their share of the pounding, and did n''t they belong to the guns? |
18497 | Was n''t that part of the experience? |
18497 | Was n''t this bombardment threshing straw which had long since yielded its last kernel of grain? |
18497 | Was the feat of conquering those fortifications within the bounds of human courage, skill and resource? |
18497 | Was the tank this revolutionary wonder? |
18497 | Was their methodical phlegm such that they acted entirely by rule? |
18497 | Were n''t they horse artillery? |
18497 | What about their protecting barrage? |
18497 | What could an observer say or do that was not banal in the eyes of men who had been through such experiences? |
18497 | What had Canada to gain by coming to fight in France? |
18497 | What had we to do with war? |
18497 | What is lacking? |
18497 | What was the use of yielding ground when you would have to make another charge in order to regain what had been lost? |
18497 | What would happen to the tanks? |
18497 | What would they do to the Germans? |
18497 | When a Canadian officer was asked if he had organized some trenches that his battalion had taken his reply,"How can you organize pea soup?" |
18497 | Where should"the spirit that quickeneth"dwell if not with the aviators? |
18497 | Why not try? |
18497 | Why not? |
18497 | Why not? |
18497 | Why not? |
18497 | Why not?" |
18497 | Why should we be downhearted? |
18497 | Would I get out to watch it? |
18497 | Would he look wise or unwise when he said it? |
18497 | Yes, but though the British had arrived, as the signals showed, could they remain? |
18497 | Yet, how were they to know the truth? |
18497 | and,"Wo n''t you miss the offensive which is about to begin?" |
18497 | became an inquiry in the mess on the order of"Are you going to take an afternoon off for golf to- day?" |
38859 | How did you come by it? |
38859 | Now may I ask you one and will you be as frank with me as I have with you? |
38859 | The hell you say? |
38859 | Whose tobacco is that? |
38859 | Why did n''t they take it with them? |
38859 | Why did n''t you shoot them as they ran? |
38859 | Would you like to have some coffee for your breakfast? |
38859 | And how about the Gray? |
38859 | Have you any water?" |
38859 | I said,"Why did they not take the horses from you?" |
38859 | I said,"Yes, what''s the matter with you Johnny?" |
38859 | I turned and called Dr. Githens, and then said to Jack,"For heaven''s sake, Jack, where did you come from?" |
38859 | The general said,"I do n''t know, why do you say that?" |
19317 | And where are the Turks? |
19317 | Could you arrange for a weekly consignment of 10,000 to be sent to us regularly? |
19317 | Could you kindly send me a wire on receipt of this? 19317 Do you want any more men landed at''Y''? |
19317 | How do you like your lentil soup? |
19317 | Well, then,I persisted,"tell me, Admiral, what do_ you_ think?" |
19317 | Would you like to get some more men ashore on''Y''beach? 19317 A couple of leader writers, a trio of special correspondents and half a dozen reporters? 19317 After he had told us his story, breathlessly and listened to with breathless interest, I asked him what about our troops atY"? |
19317 | Am I to check the number of rounds in the limbers; on the beaches and in transit during a battle? |
19317 | And the colliers? |
19317 | And the store ships? |
19317 | And why should I not have been? |
19317 | And why would n''t they be? |
19317 | Are the benefits of his organization of our army to be discounted because they had a German origin? |
19317 | Are they also to prove phantoms? |
19317 | Are we to strike before or after daylight? |
19317 | Are we too insistent? |
19317 | At first:--but why be captious in the very embrace of Fortune? |
19317 | At last, he looked up and inquired,"Well?" |
19317 | But is he? |
19317 | But they have not the invincible carelessness or temperamental springiness of the old lot-- and how should they? |
19317 | But what are the facts? |
19317 | But what is the number of these local troops? |
19317 | But why bottle up trumps; trumps worth a King''s ransome, or a Kaiser''s? |
19317 | But why the next relief ship? |
19317 | But would we be out of it? |
19317 | By the British system(?) |
19317 | Did I take this in? |
19317 | Engineer Stores? |
19317 | From what quarter could I attack Constantinople? |
19317 | Has_ any_ action been taken upon them? |
19317 | Have cabled a very elementary question:"Could not the Japanese bombs be copied in England?" |
19317 | He assumed that we had definitely turned down any plan of scrambling ashore forthwith, as best we could? |
19317 | How can economic victory be won? |
19317 | How far had they come? |
19317 | How many guns? |
19317 | How on earth have they managed to pick up the swank and devil- may- care airs of crack regulars? |
19317 | How to help? |
19317 | How to try and help him to pump courage into faint- hearted fellows? |
19317 | How touching the devotion of all these small satellites so anxiously forming escort? |
19317 | How was it going to end? |
19317 | How will he feel now he realizes he is shorn of his direct power to help us through these dark and dreadful Straits? |
19317 | How would I hold it when I had taken it? |
19317 | I turned to Thursby and said,"Admiral, what do you think?" |
19317 | If we can take trenches at our will, why are we still on this side of Achi Baba? |
19317 | Is there any political objection to my cautiously spreading rumour that our true objective is, say, Smyrna?'' |
19317 | Is_ that_ the reading of the riddle? |
19317 | Jerusalem-- Constantinople? |
19317 | Le premier but de guerre n''est il pas d''infliger à l''adversaire plus de mal qu''il ne vous en fait? |
19317 | Let him but put his foot down, and who dare say him nay? |
19317 | Might they not, all of them, be sailing back to safe England, but for me? |
19317 | Morally, we are confident but,--materially? |
19317 | My letter goes on to say,"Could you not take a run out here and see us? |
19317 | Now that the French Division has been snuffed out, how about the Grand Duke Nicholas, General Istomine and their Russian Divisions? |
19317 | O death, where is thy sting? |
19317 | O grave, where is thy victory? |
19317 | On the other hand, who but K., at that time, could have run the war at all? |
19317 | Our star burns dim as a corpse light: the huge black chasm of space closes in: if only by blood...? |
19317 | Possibly the matter has been referred to Maxwell for opinion? |
19317 | Probably; but would there not also be berths taken in the Cunarder for a manager trained in the business side of journalism? |
19317 | Rotten luck to have cut myself off from wiring to Winston: still I see no way out of it: with K. jealous as a tiger-- what can I do? |
19317 | So I have asked, who is to be"Boss"? |
19317 | So I said,"You do n''t seem to like the look of that barbed wire, Colonel?" |
19317 | Suppose the Fleet_ could_ get through with the loss of another battleship or two-- how the devil would our troopships be able to follow? |
19317 | TWO CORPS OR AN ALLY? |
19317 | The Admiral asked if I meant to land at Bulair? |
19317 | The General simulated amazement--"You have come all that distance to buy camels without money? |
19317 | The cable is being ciphered: not a very luminous document: how could it be? |
19317 | The fleet can not see itself wiped out by degrees; and yet, without the fleet, how are we soldiers to exist? |
19317 | Then why does he ask? |
19317 | There are one or two in the know who think me"venturesome"but, after all, is not"nothing venture nothing win"an unanswerable retort? |
19317 | These cables are repeated to London and when they get back here what will my own men think me? |
19317 | To- morrow night where shall we be? |
19317 | Very sketchy; how could it be otherwise? |
19317 | Was the firing then an hallucination-- a sort of sequel to the battle in my brain? |
19317 | We might perhaps even think of this-- if we try the other first and ca n''t pull it off?" |
19317 | Well-- and why should n''t he ask? |
19317 | Well; what staff would he send with him? |
19317 | Well; what then; what of the worst? |
19317 | Were we to prolong hesitation, or, were we, now that we had done the best we could with the means under our hands, to go boldly forward? |
19317 | What better pick- me- up could Providence have provided for the badly- shaken Turks? |
19317 | What is it all about? |
19317 | What is the result of my efforts to throw light upon our proceedings? |
19317 | What passages? |
19317 | What would I do? |
19317 | What would not Richard Coeur de Lion or Napoleon have given for the_ Arcadian_ to take them to St. Jean d''Acre and Jerusalem? |
19317 | When I asked the crucial question:--the enemy''s strength? |
19317 | When he stopped, Roger Keyes, the Commodore, inquired,"Is that all?" |
19317 | Where were they going to? |
19317 | Wherever is the use of reconsidering the position now? |
19317 | Who is to be C.R.E.? |
19317 | Who is to see to it that the two halves fit together? |
19317 | Who was in command? |
19317 | Why are these Straits the cockpit of the world? |
19317 | Why not three weeks ago? |
19317 | Why not? |
19317 | Why should we not have our losses quickly replaced-- supposing we do lose men? |
19317 | Why"till"? |
19317 | Will Lord K. meet us half way, I wonder? |
19317 | Will you in your turn assist me in getting the seaplanes arriving here in_ Ganges_? |
19317 | Would it not be wiser, then, as well as more dignified, to let the Dardanelles R.I.P.? |
19317 | Would not Stopford be preferable to Ewart, even though he does not possess the latter''s calm?" |
19317 | margin over establishment? |
19317 | that we have as many men coming in voluntarily as we can use? |
19317 | to cover our last assault!_ CHAPTER VIII TWO CORPS OR AN ALLY? |
30812 | And after that? |
30812 | Are they down- hearted? 30812 But have n''t they money when they arrive from America?" |
30812 | Ca n''t I? |
30812 | Did Kitchener think so? |
30812 | Did his lordship smile? |
30812 | Do n''t they give away your position? |
30812 | Do you allow the men to bring dogs into the trenches? |
30812 | Each? |
30812 | Have you looked,I asked,"in the unlikely places?" |
30812 | How could you do it? |
30812 | How did you detect that? |
30812 | How much? |
30812 | I wonder what''s happening in Buffalo? |
30812 | I? 30812 If Germany wins,"they asked,"what will become of us? |
30812 | If your children are in London,demanded one,"what are you doing in France?" |
30812 | Is it your people who are selling these things? |
30812 | M? |
30812 | Then, why do n''t you go out and fight for your King? |
30812 | There are watchdogs on our side, also? |
30812 | What is your purpose in going to London? |
30812 | What was your joke? |
30812 | What''s your job? |
30812 | What''s your rank? |
30812 | A young, very young Frenchman ran to the bridge and called to the officers:"Gentlemen, will you please tell me what boat it is that I see?" |
30812 | All the time he was looking straight at me and firing questions:"When did you leave Salonika? |
30812 | And who would dispute him? |
30812 | Are You?" |
30812 | Are you a lover of art, and would you become a patron of art? |
30812 | But was he conscious of that? |
30812 | But who can protest it was a life wasted? |
30812 | Did a military prison yawn, and was he to act as my escort? |
30812 | Do you think there are people in America who would like to help those men?" |
30812 | From where did he draw his strength and courage? |
30812 | How many troops have we landed? |
30812 | If you surprise a burglar, his pockets stuffed with the family jewels, would you first attempt to recover the jewels, or to subdue the burglar? |
30812 | Is not that a good bargain? |
30812 | Is there an understanding that after the war she and Germany will together carve slices off of Austria? |
30812 | Is there anything else you would like to know?" |
30812 | It was very beautiful, but was it war? |
30812 | It''s fine, is n''t it?" |
30812 | Later, off Capri, he asked:"When you advised me to let George make a test case of it, to which of our fellow passengers did you refer?" |
30812 | Not only land him there, but for six days feed and lodge him, and give him a present to take away? |
30812 | Of the man on duty behind the log barrier he asked:"How near are they?" |
30812 | One man said to me:"Why ca n''t you keep the Italian- Americans in America? |
30812 | Or was it the sound of a woman''s voice and the touch of a woman''s hand? |
30812 | Our positions are very strong, are n''t they?" |
30812 | The King''s messenger looked up from his solitaire and, also wishing to be amiable, asked:"What''s the difference?" |
30812 | The men on the outskirts of the crowd ask:"What does he offer?" |
30812 | Was he down- hearted? |
30812 | Was it his training as an officer of the Grande Armée? |
30812 | Was it that spirit of the French that is the one thing no German knows, and no German can ever break? |
30812 | Was it the instinct for life that makes a drowning man fight against an ocean? |
30812 | What better could illustrate the spirit of France or better foretell her final victory? |
30812 | What''s it matter how old he is, if all they''re going to do with him is to get him shot?" |
30812 | Who gave you permission to remain inside our lines?" |
33278 | Did you find them, Joe? |
33278 | Do ye mind when ye left me in the nook after bandaging my wounds? |
33278 | Do ye remember Stanley Stenning, an English fellow of C company? 33278 Have you seen a sniper anywhere about here?" |
33278 | How many of them are there? |
33278 | Is it a mistake? |
33278 | Is it a mistyke? 33278 Never mind now,"I said,"what did you see?" |
33278 | Soldiers, would you leave me behind? |
33278 | Well, then, he did n''t eat you up, did he? |
33278 | What are you cursing about? |
33278 | What are you doing here? |
33278 | What do you want? |
33278 | What the h---- was that for, ye muckle galoot? |
33278 | What''s the difference? |
33278 | Where are you going? |
33278 | Where is the adjutant? |
33278 | Will they see the trees across the roadway? |
33278 | Are there nothing but blockheads about here? |
33278 | At first I denied that I knew anything about the letter, but he shouted:''Do you not remember giving the same address upon coming here?'' |
33278 | Did ye remember the fags?" |
33278 | Do you know, Reuter, what this old pal did? |
33278 | Happy? |
33278 | Have you ever read Kipling''s"Man Who Came Back"? |
33278 | How was I to get away? |
33278 | I had been thinking that, on reaching my destination, I would be allowed to write home; and now----? |
33278 | On recognizing that we were Scots, he held out his hand and said:"My name''s MacPherson; what''s yours?" |
33278 | Presently a little insignificant- looking German with spectacles on looked at me, and asked in English:''What is the nature of your wounds?'' |
33278 | Some would shout:''English swine, why do n''t you cry out?'' |
33278 | Taking up his rifle, which had been leaning against the parapet, he added, as an afterthought:"But, whaur are ye bound fur?" |
33278 | The Scot, so rudely aroused, sat up, exclaiming:"Fine, mon; hoo''s yersel''?" |
33278 | Then he asked:"Where''ve they ticketed you to, myte?" |
33278 | We wondered whether they were really unaware of our approach, or, just holding their fire for close range? |
33278 | What could we do? |
33278 | What would you have? |
33278 | When he came to this cot he slowly uncovered the face of the presumed patient and asked:"How are you?" |
33278 | Who goes there?" |
33278 | Who, thought I, is this, calling me by my nickname? |
33278 | Ye''re a better sprinter than Ah thocht";"Hoo''s aw wi''th''fokes at hame? |
33278 | You will, will you?" |
33278 | w''ere the''ell do_ I_ come in?" |
42341 | I heard one say, damn him, can he eat iron? |
42341 | Soon after this there came a boat to the side of the ship, and captain Symonds asked a gentleman in it, in my hearing, what his business was? |
42341 | The captain spoke to me in a great rage, and said:''did I not order you not to come on deck?'' |
42341 | Then one of them asked me what my occupation in life had been? |
33211 | Did you see any of our folks? |
33211 | Have you got anything for me? 33211 ( Who would ask for better beverage than this?) 33211 4 P. M. Snyder''s[ Seiders?] 33211 Also a large wagon train with 5th I[ Illinois?] 33211 And could it be possible that such a scene was being enacted in this valley now under the very eye of the power that had abolished it? 33211 Are we never more to have sunshine? 33211 Are we, the privates, held accountable for this disregard for the holy Sabbath day? 33211 Blake and Snyder[ Seiders?] 33211 But what does company have to do? 33211 But, Oh, where is there an officer that is not a similar slave? 33211 Can it be that I am so much more vicious and wicked than then, that I heed not the Sabbath? 33211 Can we expect anything but demoralization? 33211 Charley askedWhat''s the row up there?" |
33211 | Did they see me then walking my beaten path in the still quiet moonlight? |
33211 | Echo answers_ where_? |
33211 | Has the good work begun? |
33211 | How did they spend to- day at home? |
33211 | How long will such things last? |
33211 | How many more times must I go on before I will be relieved from this machine life? |
33211 | How much longer can her frail nature withstand it? |
33211 | I came to judge for myself, is it right or wrong? |
33211 | Is the weather too cold to fight, or is Hood gone? |
33211 | Is this remnant of that band soon to pass through a like ordeal? |
33211 | It was just five months ago to- day, and am I really so much changed? |
33211 | Must she go without welcoming her Jenk''s return? |
33211 | Obliged to lay the box away for two hours before the storm abated so as to open it-- was Job ever tempted so? |
33211 | Snyder[ Seiders?] |
33211 | The topic is, are we included in the late order ordering all detachments belonging with Sherman to report immediately via New York? |
33211 | What and where next? |
33211 | What does it mean? |
33211 | What is to happen? |
33211 | What more does a soldier want? |
33211 | What will be done with him? |
33211 | What would folks at home think? |
33211 | When will such corruption among military men be stopped? |
33211 | Where the deuce have they been? |
33211 | Who will dare doubt that the end is to be glorious? |
33211 | Why should I pine? |
33211 | Why will they not rely upon my own letters? |
33211 | Will be marked considerably, but who cares for that? |
33211 | Will my mind ever be allowed to dictate the movements of the body again? |
33211 | Would it be any consolation to her to know that her son is thinking of her, that he has not forgotten? |
33211 | Would it not be much wiser then, to allow them to have a voice in choosing their officers? |

16685 | Can folk deny the fact that this war will make better men? |
16685 | Can folk wonder that the religion which is Christian is making an impression on the soldier? |
16685 | Can folk wonder why the men who used to look on such men as sissy- boys have changed their opinions? |
16685 | Can folk wonder why we love the padres, why we reverence the Y.M.C.A.? |

16685 | Far from down our column some one yelled:"Are we downhearted?" |
16685 | For myself, the thought flashed across my mind--"What''s the use? |
16685 | For the first time I asked myself,"What in the world are_ you_ out here for?" |
16685 | Had n''t we shown our bravery by creeping up a ruined stairway only three miles from the enemy? |

16685 | How did you''carry on''?" |
16685 | I am asked,"How did you live? |
16685 | I did n''t know who might hear me:"How far is it to the German trenches?" |

16685 | I whispered to him for the last time:"What are we out here for, anyway?" |
16685 | If the generals of the British Army were proud of us in 1915, I wonder how they feel to- day? |
16685 | Is it better sense to keep them near to the food supply, or to send the reserves to France and use valuable tonnage to ship foodstuffs to them? |
16685 | Is there not a war- map sold in America? |
16685 | Kamerad!_"What did we do? |
16685 | Many a time I have said to myself in thinking of the enemy:"Why do n''t they come on-- why do n''t the fools strike now? |
16685 | Often and often I am asked,"Why did n''t you die when you were lying out there on the battle- field?" |
16685 | Or would many of them do what they had threatened? |
16685 | Scene from the Photo- Play_"THEY LOOK BIG ENOUGH, DON''T THEY?"] |
16685 | Scene from the Photo- Play_"WHO''S THE GIRL, PEAT?"] |
16685 | Shall we not be proud to share a title such as this? |
16685 | That vast Far Eastern Empire with her millions of men-- what would India do? |
16685 | The War Machine that had the preparation of half a century, or the peace- loving peoples who, at a day''s notice, took their stand for humanity? |
16685 | They must have wondered and asked themselves,"Will the boys stand it?" |
16685 | Troubles may come and troubles may go, But we keep smiling where''er we go, Are we downhearted? |
16685 | V UNDER FIRE VI THE MAD MAJOR VII WHO STARTED THE WAR? |
16685 | We peeled back the answer raucously enough, and then on with the song: Are we downhearted? |
16685 | Were they scared? |
16685 | Were we not brave? |
16685 | What business is it of yours? |
16685 | What did India do? |
16685 | What if she had been my sister? |
16685 | What is a life here or there to a Hohenzollern? |
16685 | What is it?" |
16685 | What of the German who had ruined this young girl and maimed her body? |
16685 | What was three miles to us? |
16685 | When we went into the trenches at first, the enemy would call across the line to us,"What have you come over here to fight us for? |
16685 | Where was France? |
16685 | Where would it drop? |
16685 | Who goes there?" |
16685 | Who goes there?" |
16685 | Who goes there?" |
16685 | Who started the war? |
16685 | Who started the war? |
16685 | Who will finish the war? |
16685 | Why did n''t I die? |
16685 | Why did you not stay back home in Canada and attend to your own affairs, and not butt into something that does not concern you? |
16685 | Why not go up- stairs? |
16685 | Why not? |
16685 | Why put on any limit? |
16685 | Would abstemiousness be human? |
16685 | Would the Liberal government funk? |
16685 | Would the major speak to me in French? |
16685 | Would the next get me? |
16685 | You think that I am doing something to help? |
16685 | You''ve learnt to use yer b''ynet,''aven''t yer? |
16685 | [ Illustration: Over the top] And the men, what of them? |
16685 | called the private to me,"where''re yer goin''to?" |
16685 | died of wounds-- and the reason? |
16685 | see?" |
16685 | we would say to one another,"who started the war? |
42368 | Why do you not leave the horse in the street and go to the fort then? |
42368 | Why? |
42368 | Captain Hart then asked the Indian, what they intended to do with them? |
42368 | Colonel Proctor then said,"Sir, do you mean to dictate for me?" |
42368 | Is it any wonder that the Kentuckians are brave and chivalric? |
42368 | It may be asked why I record these things? |
31192 | Can you be the man? 31192 Did either of you see any of the troops pass out of the lines during the night?" |
31192 | Eh? |
31192 | Ephraim,we said,"what is the matter? |
31192 | My eye, Jim, but ai n''t that a stunning dress? |
31192 | Well, sir, what will you have? |
31192 | Well,he said,"I am almost starved;_ could_ you give me a little piece?" |
31192 | Well,we said,"that is all right; but why do you say it?" |
31192 | What style is that, Ben? |
31192 | Where are you hit? |
31192 | Who are those men? |
31192 | _ Good!_ anybody else along? |
31192 | Ai n''t it time to shoot?" |
31192 | Among others, this: I heard a familiar voice sing out,"William Dame, my dear boy, what on earth are you doing here?" |
31192 | As he drew near the guns he yelled out,"What on earth is the matter here?" |
31192 | But some one might say,"How about this narrative that you are about to impose on a suffering public, who never did you any harm? |
31192 | But what would they have? |
31192 | Do n''t you''uns love sprouts?" |
31192 | Have I struck you at last?" |
31192 | Have n''t you heard about it?" |
31192 | He said in a sharp tone,"What is the matter, why must n''t I go up this road? |
31192 | He said,"My dear boy, where on earth did you get that meat?" |
31192 | He went in the night, and woke up Sergeant Moncure and said,"Monkey, do n''t you think these works are very thin?" |
31192 | His character has been subjected to that ordeal, and who can point to a spot upon it? |
31192 | I wonder if it could have been the_ men_ behind them? |
31192 | I wonder what could have given them such an exaggerated idea of the strength of those modest little works? |
31192 | I wonder who will have to answer for the_ unnecessary waste of life_ and suffering in the"Army of the Potomac?" |
31192 | It was an unspeakable humiliation for a_ cannoneer_ to be thus fingered by_ a driver_, but what could we do? |
31192 | Ned came tumbling out, all in a heap, perfectly dazed, and wanting to know, in indignant tones,"What in the thunder we were doing that way_ for_?" |
31192 | One day, soon after, the doctor met him and said with much friendly interest,"Well, Jim, how are you?" |
31192 | Sadly we lamented--"What shall we do, in battle, and in camp, and on march, his form and face missing from among us?" |
31192 | The Doctor turned on him and eagerly said,"Did I understand you to say that was a hot place?" |
31192 | The Doctor turned to another, and another, with the same eager question,"Did_ you_ think that was a hot place?" |
31192 | The Southern man said,"What is your name?" |
31192 | The doctor looked at him, and asked him significantly,"Jim, do you feel_ all right_?" |
31192 | The road seems quiet?" |
31192 | The thing was_ bound_ to go right--"Wasn''t Lee there?" |
31192 | Wake them up? |
31192 | We asked what was the matter? |
31192 | We knew we had to fight somewhere else, but where? |
31192 | What could Warren do? |
31192 | What could we do to save them? |
31192 | What could you expect? |
31192 | What do you do it for?" |
31192 | What for? |
31192 | What moved them? |
31192 | What troops are these?" |
31192 | What was in their minds? |
31192 | What_ could_ that mean but, that peace was about to be made, and these cannon useless?" |
31192 | Who can they be?" |
31192 | he warmly said;"did you hear that dirty, ragged infantryman call me an old fellow? |
31192 | is that so?" |
31192 | said Ned, putting his hand up to his ear,"What did you say?" |
31192 | what did you run for?" |
31192 | what''s the danger? |
16131 | Americans? |
16131 | And your own? |
16131 | Are you an Englishman? |
16131 | Been in Africa long? |
16131 | Been''stopping one''? |
16131 | Born in this country? |
16131 | But how the devil do you know they are shooting from the farmhouse? |
16131 | Did n''t they show fight? |
16131 | Did they ill- treat you-- knock you about, and that sort of thing? |
16131 | Do you take us for savages? |
16131 | Do you think him a good fighter? |
16131 | Do you think him as good a man as Lord Kitchener? |
16131 | Do you think him as good as Lord Roberts? |
16131 | Feel any better now, old fellow? |
16131 | Fight? |
16131 | Have the same hatred for the Boers before the war as you have now? |
16131 | Hotel- keeper, perhaps? |
16131 | How long is it since I was knocked over? |
16131 | Is my comrade dead? |
16131 | Like venison? |
16131 | Merchant? |
16131 | Mines? |
16131 | Positive they were Dutchmen? |
16131 | Shoot it yourself, eh? |
16131 | Shopkeeper? |
16131 | Stopped a few, did he? 16131 Think they''d trust us to look after anything so important?" |
16131 | To whom? |
16131 | Well, what if they are? 16131 What are we here fer, Bill?" |
16131 | What do you Britishers and Australians think of Cronje? |
16131 | What do you fellows think of Australians as fighters? |
16131 | What for? |
16131 | What was your calling, or profession, or business, or means of livelihood? |
16131 | Where did you put in most of your time before the war? |
16131 | Where were you when the war broke out? |
16131 | Which one, Karl? |
16131 | Which one? |
16131 | Why did n''t you pick up a rifle and have a hand in the fighting? |
16131 | Why do you hate them so bitterly, then? |
16131 | Why should I; do n''t we pay''Tommy''to do that for us? |
16131 | Why should not the white population of South Africa be ready to live under the protection of Britain? 16131 Why should we live under any flag but our own?" |
16131 | Yes, d-- n you; did you think we were springbok? |
16131 | You, of course, blame all the Colonials, Australians and others, for coming to fight against you? |
16131 | ''Who goes there?'' |
16131 | Ai n''t plenty of the Cape Volunteers who are fighting under President Kruger''s banner born of Dutch parents? |
16131 | And their women; what of them? |
16131 | And you, who hold the remedy in your own hands, what will you do? |
16131 | And yours be the shame if the Empire''s flag be lowered-- not theirs, but yours; for you-- what do you do? |
16131 | Are they fit to tramp the whole night through to make a forced march to turn a position, and then fight as their fathers fought next day? |
16131 | Are those men fit to storm a kopje? |
16131 | Are we not great enough to look with pride upon a gallant foe? |
16131 | Are we only an English market, Held dear for the sake of trade? |
16131 | Are we only an English market, Held dear for the sake of trade? |
16131 | As I rode from position to position our fellows greeted me with the cry:"Any news, sir? |
16131 | But-- er, have you been in the hands of the Boers since the war started?" |
16131 | Did they rob you?" |
16131 | Do you count us devoid of pride? |
16131 | Do you sneer at the Boers? |
16131 | Do you take me for a d----''Tommy,''sir?" |
16131 | Do you think we are chicken- hearted? |
16131 | Have you ever seen a savage nigger wench pout, my masters? |
16131 | Have you grown tame, have you waxed fat and foolish during these long years of peace? |
16131 | Heard if we are going to have a go at''em with the spoons( bayonets)?" |
16131 | How did we know? |
16131 | How do they charge, these bare- legged sons of Scotia? |
16131 | I muttered,"and he''ll have to rot on the open veldt, I suppose?" |
16131 | I''m a prisoner, ai n''t I?" |
16131 | If our commanders blunder, who is to blame but the criminally negligent officials who have supplied them with false or foolish data to work upon? |
16131 | If two innocent, incompetent(?) |
16131 | Is n''t that enough?" |
16131 | It is pleasant to swagger and brag of"your fellows at the front;"but why do n''t you see that they are fed, if you want them to fight? |
16131 | Just give me a few names and dates and facts, will you?" |
16131 | Or are we a part of the Empire Close welded as hilt and blade? |
16131 | Or are we a part of the Empire, Close welded as hilt and blade? |
16131 | Should we not curse them as a craven crowd, and teach our lisping babes to mock their memory? |
16131 | Staked it for what? |
16131 | The hills of Afghanistan must have re- echoed to his tread, else why the green and crimson ribbon that mingled with the rest? |
16131 | There was a pause in the ranks of the Yeomen, then a voice lisped through the gathering gloom,"Are you fellahs British?" |
16131 | Therefore, I ask, why should these negroes be privileged to do what Australians or Canadians are forbidden to do? |
16131 | They were but twenty men, and we four hundred"A"Tommy"sitting at the speaker''s feet looked up and said:"What are yer makin''sich a song abart it far? |
16131 | Though every man in all that fearless few is England''s foe, yet we, who boast the Vikings''blood in every vein, can we not honour them? |
16131 | Was it a trap? |
16131 | Was it because of poisoned or polluted water, left in their path by the enemy whom they were fighting? |
16131 | Was it because the country through which we marched lent itself climatically to the propagation and dissemination of fever germs? |
16131 | Was it because their hearts failed them in the presence of hardship and danger? |
16131 | Was there some devilish craft behind that apparent peacefulness? |
16131 | We must not pander to them to the injury of the Dutch, or how are we to weld Dutch and British into a national whole? |
16131 | What did it mean? |
16131 | What has become of the rations of rum, of sugar, of tea, of cocoa, of groceries generally? |
16131 | What is a camp liar? |
16131 | What on earth made you do such a fool''s trick as to try and ride from our rifles at that distance?" |
16131 | What was his rank?" |
16131 | What were you chasing the other fellah foah, eh?" |
16131 | Where do these rumours come from? |
16131 | Why did n''t you do the same if you reckoned yourself a better man?" |
16131 | Why did they die, these strong young soldiers of our Queen? |
16131 | Why did they die? |
16131 | Why did they die? |
16131 | Why should we bow our necks to Britain''s yoke, even if it be a yoke of silk?" |
16131 | Would Kitchener, whose dread name strikes terror to the heart of every burgher, would he befoul his foeman''s fame? |
16131 | Would he carry me safely out of that line of fire, or would he fail me? |
16131 | Would you ask one Boer to fight against another Boer simply because he lived on one side of a river and his blood relation lived on the other? |
41616 | What regiment is that? |
41616 | Among them was a young girl some sixteen years old, who was waving a United States flag and taunting us with"Why do n''t you fight under this flag?" |
41616 | Can a more deplorable picture be drawn? |
41616 | Can you do it?" |
41616 | Did they come? |
41616 | He said,"Clowney, where is Kilpatrick?" |
41616 | He said,"What are you doing behind, my little fellow?" |
41616 | On reaching me he said,"Where is your gun, and why are you not shooting?" |
41616 | Still, to make safe, I inquired,"Who is your colonel?" |
41616 | They inquired of us,"What regiment are you?" |
41616 | We had not gone far when we were hailed from the side of the road,"Who''s there?" |
41616 | We knew something was wrong, but what was it? |
41616 | When I got back Jim Hagood said,"What have you got?" |
18177 | And what is there in that large white building, where the windows are alight? |
18177 | Any damage, old fellow? |
18177 | Are there many of them? |
18177 | At what time do you want to get up? |
18177 | Do you know where the Staff of the---- Corps is? |
18177 | Eh,_ mon cher!_ What are you doing here? 18177 It is n''t warm, eh?" |
18177 | Sir, in the third troop, Sergeant Lagaraldi...."Well? |
18177 | Tell me, Sister Gabrielle, you are not going to turn us out of the house now, are you? 18177 Tell me, child, who burnt that château over there?" |
18177 | Was there any infantry? |
18177 | Well, my friend,said I to one of them,"is there anybody left at your place?" |
18177 | Well, what''s the news? |
18177 | What has become of the second squadron? 18177 Where is the officer in charge?" |
18177 | Who sleeps here, then, Sister? |
18177 | _ Eh bien, mon Capitaine!_ Anything new? |
18177 | And the dear, good friends I had left in Paris and in Rouen-- where were they at that moment? |
18177 | As soon as he came near enough we called out:"What is it?" |
18177 | Brother- soldiers!--you who came through those painful hours-- shall you ever forget them? |
18177 | But what did it all mean? |
18177 | But what was that noise resounding through the convent? |
18177 | But would there have been a fight at all? |
18177 | But you see that Staff right over there behind those stacks?... |
18177 | Comment va?_""Ah!... |
18177 | Could they have abandoned this formidable position without any attempt to defend it? |
18177 | Could they have already retired farther off? |
18177 | Could we not have something to eat here, and sleep in a bed?" |
18177 | Could you not take in two weary, famished soldiers for one night?" |
18177 | Did they think our reserves were massed in the wood? |
18177 | Do you know where it is just now?" |
18177 | Enquiries and shouts were heard:"Where is the bread?" |
18177 | Had we not been obliged by our duty to give up the delightful family gathering which reunites us yearly around the symbolic Yule- log? |
18177 | He replied:"Your regiment? |
18177 | How could we get at them and avenge our fellows who had fallen? |
18177 | How did we manage to escape the shells and bullets which were cropping the branches and felling the trees around us? |
18177 | How many friends should I never see again? |
18177 | How many of those good fellows were lying dead on foreign soil? |
18177 | How many were there? |
18177 | How many? |
18177 | How much of it was there left? |
18177 | How was it that none of us were killed? |
18177 | How were we to find our way about the little unknown town of Elverdinghe, near which our regiment had just been quartered? |
18177 | How would it all end? |
18177 | I am to fall back towards L. How is one to understand what all this means?" |
18177 | I reflected:"What effect will it have upon me? |
18177 | I thought I saw a reproach in those glances: they seemed to say to me:"Why have n''t you been able to defend us? |
18177 | I wondered where I was, and suddenly remembered... Elverdinghe... the convent...."Is it you, Sister Gabrielle?" |
18177 | Is that what war is?" |
18177 | Looking for your regiment, are you? |
18177 | Or was it we who had passed on to them the fighting spirit that fired us? |
18177 | Ought I to have those men fired upon who were not quite opposite to us, and whose opponents seemed rather inclined to make a Christmas truce? |
18177 | Ought we to lament or to envy the touching and simple burial rite of soldiers? |
18177 | Our men? |
18177 | Ready? |
18177 | Shall I duck my head when I hear the bullets whistling and the shrapnel bursting around me? |
18177 | Should we be obliged to wait until our sappers had built new ones before we could resume our pursuit? |
18177 | Sister Gabrielle, then that little room and those two little beds where we slept, were yours?" |
18177 | The captain raised his hands to Heaven with a look of despair:"How am I to know where any regiment is now? |
18177 | The stupid bullet which had perhaps found its mark? |
18177 | Then between his groans the wounded man said a thing I shall not easily forget:"_ Mon Capitaine_,... have n''t they taken away their guns yet?" |
18177 | Then why abandon that station? |
18177 | Things are n''t looking very rosy...."I plied him with questions, and he answered in short incoherent sentences:"Charleroi? |
18177 | Was it not Christmas Eve? |
18177 | Was it the enemy? |
18177 | We shall come nearer to you;_ we_ shall withdraw..."? |
18177 | Were they talking about me, sitting together round the fire? |
18177 | Were they thinking of me? |
18177 | Were we at last to meet them and measure our swords with their lances? |
18177 | Were we really at war? |
18177 | What are you looking for? |
18177 | What did anything else matter to him? |
18177 | What did it matter to him? |
18177 | What did it matter to us? |
18177 | What did it matter? |
18177 | What did it matter? |
18177 | What did they care if their horses could hardly carry them further, and if many of them would be incapable of galloping? |
18177 | What had become of the comrades who were in the firing- line? |
18177 | What had happened? |
18177 | What had happened? |
18177 | What had they done to my brave and noble companion- in- arms? |
18177 | What has become of all our dear fellows there on the other side of the wood?" |
18177 | What has become of our Colonel, who had stayed in command? |
18177 | What have you come here for, my poor fellow? |
18177 | What was about to happen? |
18177 | What was happening? |
18177 | What was that knocking and those wailing cries? |
18177 | What was the captain of the company occupying the trench doing? |
18177 | What was their idea? |
18177 | What was to be done? |
18177 | What were they doing? |
18177 | What''s the matter?" |
18177 | Where are we to go now that, by your fault, we have left the homes of our childhood, and of our fathers and our fathers''fathers? |
18177 | Where is the ambulance?" |
18177 | Where now were the oaths to revolt, the solemn denials and the blasphemies pronounced against the Fatherland? |
18177 | Who can believe it? |
18177 | Who could have foreseen that it would be implanted so naturally and so easily in the young souls of our soldiers? |
18177 | Who will say then that our dear France has lost her Faith? |
18177 | Who would have thought that such deep, and also such solemn, notes could come from so small a steeple? |
18177 | Who would have thought we were at war? |
18177 | Why could n''t it be like this every day? |
18177 | Why did not our larger family of to- day join in singing together around lighted fir- trees? |
18177 | Why have you let them come into our country? |
18177 | Why on earth did I come up here? |
18177 | Why should n''t I stay where I am? |
18177 | Why should we desire richer tombs, sepulchral stones, and sculptured monuments? |
18177 | Why should we pity them? |
18177 | Will there be any one to wake us?" |
18177 | With a violent jerk he pulled up his foaming horse for a second:"Where is the Colonel-- the Colonel?" |
18177 | Would n''t it be much better to trust to us, give us the order to fix bayonets and drive those Boches out of their trenches over there? |
18177 | Would the Prussians have ventured to measure themselves against these dare- devils, whom danger excites instead of depressing? |
18177 | Would they dare to come on again? |
18177 | Would they have time to blow up all the bridges behind them? |
18177 | You will pray for me this evening, wo n''t you? |
18177 | a nice business, is n''t it? |
18177 | said B.,"did you smell it? |
18177 | where now were the fine tirades of pothouse orators and public meetings? |
33286 | All? 33286 Why was Lee not successful at Gettysburg?" |
33286 | A private( one of my company) standing near me stood up and pointing toward the battlefield said,"Look at that, will you?" |
33286 | And if they could have seen a picture of their homes and fields as they appeared in 1865, would they have rushed on? |
33286 | Are these the people that we once mobbed as they marched through our streets? |
33286 | But suppose Kilpatrick had suddenly appeared upon the scene and had thrown a few shells into those fields? |
33286 | But what do you think of it today, as the finished product begins to unfold itself to our view? |
33286 | But who has spoken for the boy? |
33286 | Did you ever open the outside casing of one of these large patent beehives and see the bees at work inside? |
33286 | Did you ever read"Black Beauty?" |
33286 | Do you not believe there was a master mind behind it all, a King, and that these boys were but part of His royal subjects, doing His will? |
33286 | Gibson call me?_"I saw the six ride off; Owens did n''t even say good- bye to me. |
33286 | Had these boys any conception of what they were rushing into? |
33286 | He came galloping toward us on his white horse, and with a voice that could be heard above the shots of the guns, he said,"What does this mean?" |
33286 | He carried them loose in his pocket, and as he stepped between and over the men as they lay on the hard beds, he would say,"Who wants a pill?" |
33286 | He turned to me and said,"Was n''t that a close shave?" |
33286 | I said to myself, are these the people we of the South used to hate? |
33286 | Now that Jackson was gone the question was, What will Gen. Lee do? |
33286 | Shall we surrender?" |
33286 | Smith raised his head upon his bosom, almost fearing to see him expiring in his arms, and asked,"General, are you much hurt?" |
33286 | Someone said,"Well, boys, what are we going to do? |
33286 | Suppose the Confederates had been beaten at Bull Run and Richmond had fallen, and the war had ended then? |
33286 | That bloody drama in which there were 3,000,000 players-- a play that cost the country eight billions in money and half a million human lives? |
33286 | The first thought among the private soldiers was,"Has Grant stolen a march on Lee, and is Richmond doomed?" |
33286 | The question is often asked,"Why did Gen. Lee take his army into Pennsylvania?" |
33286 | The question was asked 10,000 times perhaps that day,"What is Marse Robert up to now? |
33286 | The question was( not only on our side of the river, but on the other),"What is Gen. Lee up to now?" |
33286 | Was it a huge volcanic eruption? |
33286 | What could Gen. Lee have done had all his horses balked in unison? |
33286 | What do you suppose those Virginia girls were going to do about it, put on sackcloth and ashes? |
33286 | What do you think of that? |
33286 | What does it all mean? |
33286 | What might we expect when these 500 handsome young men, all well mounted and armed, in whose veins flowed the blood of the heroes of the revolution? |
33286 | What more did a sick soldier need? |
33286 | What were the women doing? |
33286 | What were they doing all this time? |
33286 | What would have been the result? |
33286 | What would you think of a monument some day, somewhere in Virginia, in honor of Lee''s noble horses? |
33286 | Where is he taking us?" |
33286 | Who but a Napoleon could provide so quickly for such an emergency? |
33286 | Who has told of the part the boy played in that great drama that was on the stage for four years without intermission? |
33286 | _ From Gettysburg to the Wilderness._"But who shall break the guards that wait Before the awful face of Fate? |
16626 | A very interesting bit of the line is n''t it, Hale? |
16626 | And even if I ordered you to go, do you think that, with so many troops about, you would be likely to find it still there? |
16626 | Do you want me to go back to---- and search the whole of the twenty odd miles to---- on the off chance of finding it? |
16626 | Do you want to do so yourself? |
16626 | Now what do you want me to do? |
16626 | When did you miss it first? |
16626 | Which would you rather have,I asked a discontented lance- corporal,"a bit of a thirst or a dentist drilling a hole down a pet nerve?" |
16626 | Why did n''t you fire? |
16626 | And how I''ve got a bed, and how happy the horses are? |
16626 | And how we were sent to this very quiet and unwrecked place? |
16626 | And would anyone thank me for it? |
16626 | Anxious? |
16626 | Anyone got a cigarette? |
16626 | Anything of that sort? |
16626 | Are they all Huns, though? |
16626 | Are they going to drop bombs on us? |
16626 | But exactly where are we going to offend? |
16626 | But what do you think? |
16626 | But what matters it how they come? |
16626 | But what of that? |
16626 | But where are these more competent people? |
16626 | But why not? |
16626 | Can I rely on it being sent out in time? |
16626 | Can a single soul live? |
16626 | Can it be in so- and- so quarry, perhaps? |
16626 | Can there be anything left? |
16626 | Can you understand a noise that hits you? |
16626 | Do n''t you find it''s a bit like that? |
16626 | Do n''t you like them? |
16626 | Do you agree? |
16626 | Do you see? |
16626 | Does it worry you to think of crumps bursting and so on? |
16626 | Eleven- thirty p.m. Would you like to hear about night flying? |
16626 | Even a wound, perhaps? |
16626 | Flowers? |
16626 | Has so- and- so trench been repaired, and where is so- and- so German battery that was shelling the---- Brigade yesterday?" |
16626 | Have you got my towel?... |
16626 | How many can the draughtsmen print before to- morrow? |
16626 | I do dislike noise so, do n''t you? |
16626 | I shouted into Corporal Nutley''s car:"Can you hear what I''m saying?" |
16626 | I suppose a thing can go into your lung and not kill you? |
16626 | If, we say, that village or that ridge has to be taken from this or that unexpected position, how shall we do it? |
16626 | In the divisions? |
16626 | Is God quite so complicated and involved as we have supposed? |
16626 | Is it there still? |
16626 | Is n''t that a lovely expression? |
16626 | It does n''t look much as if they were coming in now, does it? |
16626 | Leave it to rot? |
16626 | Leave? |
16626 | Madrid? |
16626 | Mud? |
16626 | Mud? |
16626 | No recent photographs of it? |
16626 | Now where to go? |
16626 | Now, where do you think? |
16626 | Or the dog who has been locked up in an empty house for a long time? |
16626 | Ought I, perhaps, not to talk of these things? |
16626 | Paris? |
16626 | Regret? |
16626 | Repaired? |
16626 | Richard Jefferies? |
16626 | Shall I fire? |
16626 | Shall I tell you? |
16626 | Shall we carry the thing off as splendidly as those squadrons did before Peronne, or shall we bungle the show? |
16626 | Shells a- bursting, guns a- popping? |
16626 | So Fritz would like Peace, would he? |
16626 | So may I have a large- sized cake now and then? |
16626 | Surely, surely, thyme? |
16626 | That poor miserable mess of splinters and gashed soil? |
16626 | That? |
16626 | The corps commander sends for him( he has been doing the job for nine months), and says:"Now, where is our line at the present moment? |
16626 | Well, where has it moved to, then? |
16626 | Wet clothes? |
16626 | What about---- trench and all round---- village, even, perhaps, a lightning five minutes in the village itself? |
16626 | What about? |
16626 | What detail have I forgotten? |
16626 | What does it matter to us? |
16626 | What evidence have you? |
16626 | What has become of him? |
16626 | What is that book he is reading? |
16626 | What order did I give that could be taken two ways? |
16626 | What question can I have asked a week ago to which the answer is a rabbit? |
16626 | What shall I do? |
16626 | What the deuce is the matter? |
16626 | What? |
16626 | What? |
16626 | What? |
16626 | Where are the most covered approaches to the slopes of that hill? |
16626 | Where on earth did they come from? |
16626 | Where the deuce were all those guns hidden? |
16626 | Where the devil are the Huns? |
16626 | Where''s the orderly officer? |
16626 | Which made me laugh to such an extent that I got a sort of fit of laughing( do n''t you know?) |
16626 | Why discuss what we have done? |
16626 | Why not an afternoon off?" |
16626 | Why not? |
16626 | Why, oh why, did n''t I fire? |
16626 | Work depends almost entirely on the actual number of hours per diem, do n''t you think? |
16626 | Would you like to hear about it? |
16626 | Yes, exactly... to whom? |
16626 | Yesterday we were working absolutely solid without any break at all except an hour for lunch and an hour for dinner( tea? |
16626 | You are not sure? |
16626 | You know the dog who has been shut up in a kennel for a long time? |
16626 | You know? |
16626 | You see those little stumps of trees? |
16626 | You see? |
16626 | [ Sidenote: A SCRAP IN THE AIR] A wood? |
16626 | [ Sidenote: PLOEGSTEERT] As I am coming out I turn over the hand of an image, and underneath it what the deuce is this? |
16626 | _ December 15._ Is n''t this fine about Peace? |
16626 | _ December 20._ Have you had any of the letters in which I told you how the place we were to have been sent to was too continuously strafed? |
16626 | _ December 7._ What do you think? |
16626 | _ Fri._ When did I see you last? |
16626 | _ July 20._ Am I telling you about the things you want to hear? |
16626 | _ Mon._ Is n''t it cold? |
16626 | _ Sun._ How is Queen Anne? |
16626 | _ Thurs._ How are you all? |
16626 | _ Tues._ Have you seen mother? |
16626 | _ We d._ Are you happy? |
16626 | do n''t you know that there''s not a man in France but knows that the best- beloved ones at home are having a far worse time than we are having here? |
16626 | in the battalions? |
16626 | what does all this ancient paraphernalia mean to us? |
16626 | where can old Rupert have got to? |
28152 | ''Have you passes?'' 28152 ''What are you doing with that gray jacket?'' |
28152 | ''Where did you get it?'' 28152 ''Why do n''t you wear the Federal uniform? |
28152 | ''You have some papers about you, I suppose?'' 28152 A little rough shaking soon roused him up, and, rubbing his eyes, he asked,''What''s wanted?'' |
28152 | Are there any white folks there? |
28152 | Do you know, gentlemen,said one who assumed leadership,"that just naturally to shoot these greasers ai n''t the best way? |
28152 | Have you a knife, sir? |
28152 | Have you ever seen a Yankee? |
28152 | Have you friends or relatives here with whom you intend to stay? |
28152 | How far is it to General Wheeler''s headquarters? |
28152 | How far is it, my boy, by this road, to Drainside? |
28152 | How sleep the brave who sink to rest, By all their country''s wishes blest? 28152 How unfortunate may you have been, sir?" |
28152 | How''n de debbil can I tell dat in de dark, marser? |
28152 | I am considerably interested in politics just now,said Mr. Barringer, and then he asked abruptly,"what is your opinion of John Brown?" |
28152 | Now then, Willard,said Mr. Nichols,"I presume you understand the rules of this school?" |
28152 | This is a free country; I_ am_ a Yankee-- all but the d----d-- and now what do you propose to do about it? |
28152 | Was there a touch of irony in this remark which met in advance the grumblings and questionings of the future? 28152 Well,"said Glazier,"do we look like them?" |
28152 | What are you shooting at me for? |
28152 | What army? |
28152 | What boots a weapon in a withered hand? |
28152 | What boots a weapon in a withered hand? |
28152 | What do you propose to do? |
28152 | Who''s thar? |
28152 | Why, Mr.----,said he,"did n''t you say that if I whispered to Myron Sprague again, I should go back and sit between Lizzie and Annie?" |
28152 | Yes, sir, I did, and how dare you disobey me in this way? |
28152 | Your_ opinion_, gentlemen? |
28152 | _ Reporter._--Then which way did you proceed? |
28152 | --"Who comes there?" |
28152 | ---"Who comes there?" |
28152 | --Absentees from muster.--Disappointed hopes.--Savage treatment of prisoners.--Was the prison mined? |
28152 | --Absentees from muster.--Disappointed hopes.--Savage treatment of prisoners.--Was the prison mined? |
28152 | --Beyond Washington.--On guard.--Promotion.--Recruiting service.--The deserted home on Arlington Heights.--"How shall I behave in the coming battle?" |
28152 | --Beyond Washington.--On guard.--Promotion.--Recruiting service.--The deserted home on Arlington Heights.--"How shall I behave in the coming battle?" |
28152 | And what may I call your name?'' |
28152 | Another joined in with,"Say, Corporal, which of them nags can run fastest?" |
28152 | Are the Yankees ashamed of it?'' |
28152 | As if his dignity was seriously offended by this demand, our hero answered this question by asking another:"Do you halt paroled prisoners here?" |
28152 | Can any prisoner confined here ever forget the''Sisters of Charity?'' |
28152 | Captain Glazier thus graphically relates the interview:"''Then you are scouting for Confederate generals?'' |
28152 | Glazier immediately turned and inquired,"Do you know who I am?" |
28152 | I asked,''Can you give this rebel a supper?'' |
28152 | I then asked,''Uncle, what road must_ this rebel_ take for Tinker Creek?'' |
28152 | I would have loved to see you all again; God saw best not; why should we mourn? |
28152 | Is it strange that he is mastered in the battle and finally falls beneath the world''s pitiless tread? |
28152 | Is it that"the memories which peaceful country scenes call up, are not of this world; nor of_ its_ thoughts and hopes?" |
28152 | Lemon was not slow to answer in a corresponding tone,"I am serving my country, as every loyal man should do: what have_ you_ to say about it?" |
28152 | My good fellow, ca n''t you do something for us?" |
28152 | Of the dashing boys of the''Cavalry Corps,''And their daring deeds of glory? |
28152 | One asked,''Who are you?'' |
28152 | Others had done so-- why not he? |
28152 | So our hero replied, interrogatively:"Are you black or white in there?" |
28152 | The man reluctantly opened the door, and the_ soi- disant_ Confederate demanded in an imperious tone,"How long is it since our army passed here?" |
28152 | The sound of heavy cannonading reassured them as to the proximity of Federal troops; but, where was Augusta? |
28152 | They eyed each other for a moment in silence, when presently the planter demanded in a blustering voice,"What are you doing here, in a blue uniform?" |
28152 | They were closely engaged in this search, when"Who comes there?" |
28152 | What could it mean? |
28152 | What though he had only six thousand men with which to hold them in siege? |
28152 | Who will say that a dread Nemesis has not overtaken the metropolis of the Palmetto State? |
28152 | Why is it that such examples of tender feeling and unquestioning faith are seldom found in cities? |
28152 | Will the oncoming generations who con the story of the life of John Stark listen to the preaching of such an example in vain? |
28152 | Would he, or would he not, receive in the morning the certificate he sought? |
28152 | Would the men go, or could they be induced to stay through another term of enlistment before seeking the respite they desired at their homes? |
28152 | You are not going back to Albany to- night?" |
28152 | added:"Whar in hell are you going, Yanks?" |
28152 | said Carter, when he had recovered sufficiently to speak,"so you were going home, were you?" |
43470 | And what for should I give it away when we''ll be wanting it ourselves maybe? |
43470 | Does it pain you? |
43470 | Well, my man; where are you hurt? |
43470 | What regiment? |
43470 | Does it not make one creep to think of it? |
43470 | Dr. W. stopped and said to his companion:"Did you see that? |
43470 | No man has complained, no man has asked"Why?" |
43470 | People began to ask anxiously what next? |
43470 | yes; why not?" |
37112 | ''What is the matter?'' 37112 But did you not feel bad at robbing the kind officer who employed you?" |
37112 | But how could Kent prevent Harry''s being wounded or hurt, Martha? |
37112 | Good Heavens, Madam,he replied,"have you been so long out of the Union that you have forgotten Washington''s birthday?" |
37112 | Oh,I said,"he is courting, is he? |
37112 | What of Kent? |
37112 | Where is the man of the house? |
37112 | Who was Tay? |
37112 | Who was Tay? |
37112 | Why, where do you come from? |
37112 | Again she asked,"You got the measles?" |
37112 | And, turning to our mother, he said:"Please, ma''am, I would like a week at home to marry Affy, an''den ca n''t I find Mas''Harry?" |
37112 | As he paused before a guest she would hold a lump suspended in the sugar tongs as she would say,"Green tea and black; dear, which will you have?" |
37112 | At this the provost marshal remarked,"Madam, do you not realize the sanctity of an oath, or do you desire to take all the oaths?" |
37112 | Colonel Rhett replied,"Who the hell are you?" |
37112 | Has anything occurred there?" |
37112 | He kep''us all togedder, an''you tink Kent such a fool as not to know dat, an''be happy''mong strangers? |
37112 | I exclaimed,"are the ladies back already?" |
37112 | I wonder who it will be?" |
37112 | Miss J--, is it you? |
37112 | Now, Sister Martha, which do you think the most to blame?" |
37112 | She called out,"You got smallpox?" |
37112 | The next thing I knew I was being dragged by the feet, and heard some one say,"What are you going to do with that dead man?" |
37112 | What are you doing straggling from your command? |
37112 | What is the matter? |
37112 | What would she have thought of electric lights? |
37112 | Where are our men?" |
37112 | exclaimed our eldest sister;"pick up that chair; do n''t you see mother is faint?" |
37112 | how is your mother?" |
41248 | How do you manage to keep your youth? |
41248 | What is the good of sending off the_ Dundrennon_I asked,"unless she has on board the Corps upon which so much depends? |
41248 | What, look after your horse now? |
41248 | What,said Gye, in a low voice,"not a single word?" |
41248 | Do you want to see it?" |
41248 | Have you been getting into the biscuit- tin?" |
41248 | I said:"Will you?" |
41248 | Just before the last, he said:"Am I dying like a British soldier?" |
41248 | Thinking that he would remember me, I sat down beside him and opened the conversation by saying:"Any chance of a billet with you, General?" |
41248 | What is he but a mere muleteer?" |
41248 | What will be said hereafter if you let the 29th Division die of thirst?" |
41248 | When this had continued for a few minutes, I remarked to the gunner man:"What on earth are the Turks trying to hit?" |
41248 | Who are you anyhow?" |
12330 | ''Are there any francs- tireurs( civilian snipers) in this town?'' 12330 ''Are there any soldats français in the town?'' |
12330 | ''How should I know?'' 12330 ''The Good Old Summer Time''--you know that? |
12330 | ''What do you want?'' 12330 ''Why?'' |
12330 | All right in there, boys? |
12330 | And Monsieur Petticollot, how is he? |
12330 | And this picture on the right, the jeune fille? |
12330 | And you are not afraid of the shells? |
12330 | Anglais? |
12330 | Any wounded to- day? |
12330 | Are the Boches retreating? |
12330 | Are these American cigarettes? |
12330 | Are they seriously wounded? |
12330 | Are things going well for us? |
12330 | Are we going to break clear through the lines? |
12330 | Are you comfortable? |
12330 | Are you going to get it? |
12330 | As tu trouvé mon livre? |
12330 | But did n''t the munitions traffic boom the machine- tool industry? |
12330 | By the way, how is your brother? |
12330 | Can I see the house? |
12330 | Can you beat that? |
12330 | Did you know a fellow named Petersen? |
12330 | Did you know him? |
12330 | Do you find yourself comfortable here, son? |
12330 | Do you put salt in chocolate? |
12330 | Do you sell much of it? |
12330 | Do you speak English? |
12330 | Do you speak French? |
12330 | Do you want to see something odd, mon vieux? |
12330 | Do you want to see the Boches? 12330 Does anybody live in this house?" |
12330 | Does n''t the bottle say''Johann Maria Farina''? 12330 Going over to enlist?" |
12330 | Have you ever had one? 12330 Have you had a bad time in the trenches this week, Monsieur Levrault?" |
12330 | How did it happen? |
12330 | How did you get wounded? |
12330 | How do you know that the Boches opposite you are old? |
12330 | How do you reconcile your theories of fraternity to what you have to do? |
12330 | How long does it take us to get to the lines, mon lieutenant? |
12330 | How much is this cheese, maman? |
12330 | How on earth is it that everybody is not killed? |
12330 | How so? |
12330 | How, then, did you happen to come here? |
12330 | In the active forces? |
12330 | Is he approaching? |
12330 | Is he still alive? |
12330 | Is this the only room you have? 12330 Just where is the attack located?" |
12330 | Not cold? |
12330 | Oh, no, I meant how did he get killed? |
12330 | See that feller over there? |
12330 | The Boches are not going to get through up there? |
12330 | Then you are getting out something new? |
12330 | This Paris? |
12330 | What are those for? |
12330 | What contest? |
12330 | What do you do en civil? |
12330 | What does he do en civil? |
12330 | What is it? |
12330 | What time is it? |
12330 | What''s the matter with him? |
12330 | What''s the trouble about? |
12330 | What''s your name? |
12330 | When did it begin? |
12330 | Where? |
12330 | Who lived here? |
12330 | Who puts out the fires? |
12330 | Why did you stay? |
12330 | With fresh cream? |
12330 | You are a Frenchman? 12330 You bet,"he replied-- and an instant later--"Are you?" |
12330 | You never see them? |
12330 | You play, do n''t you? |
12330 | You speak French? |
12330 | ''Harrigan''--you know that?" |
12330 | ( Have you found my book?) |
12330 | ( Have you spit blood?) |
12330 | --"Are those dirty cows( the classic sales vaches) going to keep this up all afternoon?" |
12330 | --"Art thou wounded, Jarnac?" |
12330 | --"Somebody wounded?" |
12330 | --"Why do n''t they answer?" |
12330 | An old poilu, with a friendly smile revealing a jagged reef of yellow teeth, whispered to me amiably:--"See them? |
12330 | Are we at the hospital?" |
12330 | But in America everybody is a millionaire and has the best of everything-- isn''t that so? |
12330 | Consider the name of the article,''eau- de- cologne,''is not that French?" |
12330 | Curious, is n''t it-- two thousand years afterward?" |
12330 | Do you see that little village down there on the crest? |
12330 | Everybody in France is saying,"What will happen when the army comes home?" |
12330 | Finally one of them said:--"Are you English, gentlemen?" |
12330 | Has madame any capers? |
12330 | Have a cigarette?" |
12330 | Have n''t you heard them hollerin''for tariff protection? |
12330 | Have you ever seen the villages beyond Ravenna overwhelmed by the bogs? |
12330 | Hippolyte whispered,"You hear them?" |
12330 | How many are still alive? |
12330 | Is Germany slowly, very slowly going under, or are we going to witness complete European exhaustion? |
12330 | Meanwhile, what was the state of the army and navy? |
12330 | Said one to the other,"As- tu- vu Maurice?" |
12330 | The most interesting question of the whole business is,"How do the soldiers stand it?" |
12330 | The radical Frenchman says,"Are the Gospels true?" |
12330 | There came another pause, and the Burgundian said:--"Well, what do you think of this big racket( ce grand fracas)?" |
12330 | Truce in the face of a common danger or a real union? |
12330 | Two French drivers who were putting a tire on their car jumped up with a"Qu''est- ce que c''est que ça?" |
12330 | Voices like echoes traveled the length of the shelter--"Is it thou, Jarnac?" |
12330 | Voices murmured in the obscurity,"Who is wounded?" |
12330 | Was it not a pity that Psichari should have died so young?" |
12330 | Were the Germans aware of the French tunnel? |
12330 | Were they still continuing their labor? |
12330 | What are you boys doing, looking for contracts?" |
12330 | What did you do?" |
12330 | What good should we do in killing each other? |
12330 | What had happened to the Jean, Paul, and Pierre of this dark street since the war began? |
12330 | What has happened to this fine, brave crowd of Frenchmen, gentlemen all, bons camarades? |
12330 | What tragedies of sorrow and loneliness might these silent windows not conceal? |
12330 | Will it last? |
12330 | Would you like to see it?" |
12330 | You remember Carrier at Nantes, do n''t you, my dear sir? |
39348 | Are not you Dutchmen tired of the war? |
39348 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
39348 | Tell me, what was that firing last night? |
39348 | What, and hold my hands up at the same time? |
39348 | What, do n''t you know,said I,"what has occurred this morning?" |
39348 | What, then, am I to do with my men? |
39348 | Will you hand over that revolver? |
39348 | Will you hold your damned hands up? |
39348 | But then, after all, what is the destiny of the War Office unless to meddle and make muddle? |
39348 | But who can tell? |
39348 | Does this sentence contain the secret history of the failure of Commandant Eloff? |
39348 | How comes it that London should be in ignorance of our condition? |
39348 | How could we otherwise have pierced your lines?" |
39348 | Is it even fair to hazard an estimation of the man in his present environment? |
39348 | Is it, for example, quite impossible to supply them with that not uninteresting development of the musical- box-- the megaphone? |
39348 | There is a certain pathos in the question of the aged President asking General Snyman,"Where is Plumer? |
39348 | Was there a man dismayed in the Boer lines? |
39348 | We ask, When will the end be? |
39348 | Where do these rumours come from? |
39348 | Where else do express trains arrive several hours in advance of their scheduled time? |
39348 | Where else do goods trains arrive several days late? |
39348 | Who can tell? |
39348 | was such a thing possible? |
41159 | After we had been talking for some time he asked me of course the celebrated question:"Have you ever brought down a machine?" |
41159 | But of what nationality? |
41159 | His next idea was: What has become of my opponent? |
41159 | His whole thought was: Is he above me or beneath me? |
41159 | I had no idea of fighting him but thought:"What will happen if I now start shooting?" |
41159 | In the previous year my friend Lynker, with whom I was training, had asked me:"What is your object? |
41159 | Is it a signal of the enemy? |
41159 | Loen, who was similarly incapacitated, gave the most intelligent answer:"How many are they?" |
41159 | Perhaps you have shot down two?" |
41159 | So I asked him:"Tell me, how do you manage it?" |
41159 | Suddenly he jumped up and asked:"Good Lord, but where is your chauffeur?" |
41159 | Supposing somebody should jump from its top to the ground, what would be his condition? |
41159 | The impertinent fellow was full of cheek and when we had got down to about 3,000 feet he merrily waved to me as if he would say,"Well, how do you do?" |
41159 | The question now was what should I do in order not to be noticed by the villagers? |
41159 | The question was, what would happen to me? |
41159 | Was it by chance that a prominent man such as he also should die an ordinary soldier''s death? |
41159 | Were they English or were they Germans? |
41159 | What did the rascal do? |
41159 | What is the good of bringing out a squadron against us and then turning tail? |
41159 | What machine? |
41159 | What will you obtain by flying?" |
41159 | When we met at home he asked me proudly,"How many have you shot down?" |
41159 | Who can have shot him down? |
41159 | Who can tell what machine we shall employ a year hence in order to perforate the atmosphere? |
41159 | Why then should I not succeed in hitting the Englishman? |
19263 | And do you share this opinion? |
19263 | And the Mobiles? |
19263 | And was his country to count for nothing? |
19263 | And what, pray, will happen after the capitulation of Paris? |
19263 | And would the majority of the Constituent Assembly go with them? |
19263 | Are we to remain cooped up here until we are starved out? |
19263 | Are you come to congratulate us? |
19263 | But how can you imagine that you and your friends would be able to defeat the Prussians, who are disciplined soldiers? |
19263 | But if none of these prophecies are realised.--what then? |
19263 | But if you have to capitulate, what will happen? |
19263 | Can France accept a mediation which will snatch from her the enemy at the moment when victory is certain? |
19263 | Can any one tell me where Jules Favre has gone? |
19263 | Coquin,says William,"what are you doing with your eagle?" |
19263 | Eating it,replies Badinguet;"what else can I do with it?" |
19263 | Et Clamart? |
19263 | Et le General Trochu? |
19263 | How do you live, then? |
19263 | If you are an Englishman,cried his friend,"why do you not go back to your own country, and fight Russia?" |
19263 | Is it not too bad of him that he will pretend not to understand French? |
19263 | Monsieur is in the Garde Nationale? |
19263 | Pray, sir, may I ask,he said, with bitter scorn,"whether her Majesty is still on the throne in England?" |
19263 | Qui sait? |
19263 | Shall you send off a train to- morrow morning? |
19263 | Then,he went on,"has this Count Bismarck, as they call him, driven the British nobles out of the House of Lords? |
19263 | We are,observed an orator, a few nights ago,"the children of Paris, she has need of us; can we leave her at such a moment?" |
19263 | Well, what does England think of our attitude now? |
19263 | Well,I said,"supposing that the Prussians were to withdraw, and peace were to be concluded on reasonable terms, what do you think would take place?" |
19263 | What do you expect will occur? 19263 What do you think of a man on horseback?" |
19263 | What do you think they are saying of us in England? |
19263 | What is this? |
19263 | What,she continued,"have you not heard of the victory?" |
19263 | What? |
19263 | Why do you complain of me? |
19263 | Why do you not act with energy against the Ultras? |
19263 | Why do you wear these ugly gloves? |
19263 | Why not? |
19263 | Will it ever be taken out? |
19263 | Will the Garde Nationale fight? |
19263 | ''What dost thou want?'' |
19263 | After all, what is patriotism? |
19263 | And shall our army of 500,000 men remain stationary before this handful of Germans? |
19263 | But how is it all to end? |
19263 | But why should they complain? |
19263 | But will this sacrifice save the ship? |
19263 | Can anything be more absurd than for a provincial town to be forced to wait for such an authorisation until it receives it from Paris? |
19263 | Can better evidence be required? |
19263 | Can it be that, after all, the Parisians, at the mere sound of cannon, are going to cave in, and give up Alsace and Lorraine? |
19263 | Can it possibly be that I am over- credulous? |
19263 | Come now, Citizen Strassnowski, he says, what has the Government done to merit your praise? |
19263 | Did not yesterday a National Guard himself take five Prussian prisoners? |
19263 | Does not every Englishman feel this to be true of his own countrymen? |
19263 | Has Gambetta contracted with a London firm for a loan of 250 millions at 42? |
19263 | Has it tried to utilise us? |
19263 | How can all this end? |
19263 | How can it be otherwise? |
19263 | How can the Parisians expect to force the Prussians to raise the siege? |
19263 | How can the engineers have made such a mistake? |
19263 | I venture to repeat a question which I have already frequently asked-- Where is the gentleman who enjoys an annual salary as British Consul at Paris? |
19263 | In a meeting presided over by Jules Favre, what do you suppose the mayors were asked to do? |
19263 | In vain I ask,"But what if these three armies do not make their appearance?" |
19263 | Is it possible, each man asks, that 500,000 armed Frenchmen will have to surrender to half the number of Germans? |
19263 | Is not King William the instrument of Heaven, and is he not engaged in a holy cause? |
19263 | It has armed us and exercised us; but why? |
19263 | It is a merry farce, is it not? |
19263 | It is difficult to find a tailor who will work, and even if he did I could not send him my one suit to mend, for what should I wear in the meantime? |
19263 | It meant,"Do you really imagine that a functionary-- a postman-- is going to forward your letters in an irregular manner?" |
19263 | Now, I ask, after having endured this sort of thing day after day for three months, can I be expected to admire Geist, Germany, or Mr. Matthew Arnold? |
19263 | Oh, full- of- feeling, loved- of- beauteous- women, German warrior, can you refuse me?" |
19263 | Shall we not in that case have the Gallic cock crowing as lustily as ever? |
19263 | Some of the members of the Government, I hear, suggest an admiral; but what admiral would accept this_ damnosa hæreditas_? |
19263 | Still the old subjects-- How long will it last? |
19263 | The editor of the_ Liberté_--why is this gentleman still alive? |
19263 | The year which is commencing can not bring with it any sorrows that by remaining united we shall not be able to support?'' |
19263 | The_ Rappel_ also informs its readers that letters have been discovered( where?) |
19263 | There was a chorus of"Qui sait?" |
19263 | This is a good sign, but will it outlive a single gleam of success? |
19263 | This is all very well, but how is he to get there? |
19263 | To the Legitimists? |
19263 | To the Orleanists?" |
19263 | To whom then must we turn to save the country? |
19263 | To- day a citizen writes as follows:--"Why are not the National Guards installed in the churches? |
19263 | What are they doing now? |
19263 | What do the robbers and the beggars who thus insult us do? |
19263 | What has been the consequence of this act of weakness? |
19263 | What has been the consequence? |
19263 | What has happened here, and what is happening? |
19263 | What is the use of you, sir, if you can not ensure my safe passage to England? |
19263 | What is to be expected of troops when military offences of the grossest kind are treated in this fashion? |
19263 | What puzzles us is, that the Rente is at 53--why then was this new loan issued at 42? |
19263 | What were the men to do whilst they were kept waiting, except drink? |
19263 | What will be the verdict of history on the defence? |
19263 | What would he have said of a Government composed almost exclusively of these objects of his political distrust? |
19263 | What would he say if the Government which succeeds him were to allow his own wife to be insulted in this cowardly manner? |
19263 | What, I asked, is to be expected of a city peopled by such credulous fools? |
19263 | What, however, is to be done for the French? |
19263 | What, then, say his opponents with some truth, was your wonderful plan? |
19263 | When one asks them where? |
19263 | Where are they now? |
19263 | Where were the artillerymen? |
19263 | Why are we to allow them quietly to establish their batteries? |
19263 | Why did you imprison as calumniators those who published news from the provinces, which you now admit is true? |
19263 | Why did you put your name to proclamations which called upon us, if we could not conquer, at least to die? |
19263 | Why do distinguished generals, unless forced by circumstances, declare the mere act of passing four or five cold nights in the trenches heroic? |
19263 | Why does not Gambetta write more clearly? |
19263 | Why is a banker, who has other matters to attend to, discharging his duties? |
19263 | Why is he absent now? |
19263 | Why is so great a publicity given to such contradictory orders of the day?" |
19263 | Why these reports? |
19263 | Why was he absent during the siege? |
19263 | Why, they ask, are we to allow ourselves to be besieged by an army which does not equal in numbers our own? |
19263 | Why? |
19263 | Why? |
19263 | Will the Prussians enter Paris? |
19263 | Will they be entirely in the wrong? |
19263 | _ October 12th._"What is truth?" |
19263 | _ October 25th._ Has General Trochu a plan?--if so, what is it? |
19263 | _ September 26th._ Do the Prussians really mean to starve us out? |
19263 | _ des grises?_''You will, I trust, one of these days learn what is the signification of the term at your own cost. |
19263 | move that the Estimates be reduced by the salary of the Consul, who seems to consider Paris_ in partibus infidelium_? |
19263 | said a dealer to a customer--"is it my fault? |
44281 | Colonel, is there any mark? |
44281 | Pray, sir,said the Engineer,"where might you have learned to lay guns?" |
44281 | What the d-- l does the king pay you for, if you are not to attend to his subjects when they require your assistance? |
44281 | Colonel.--Aye, and pray what have you smuggled? |
44281 | Colonel.--Well, what price do you ask for them? |
44281 | He asked us why we were riding so fast? |
44281 | On page 13,"déscgréments"was replaced with"désagréments?". |
44281 | The Secretary then, turning to Galt, said rather sternly:"Sir, you could not have come fairly by this copy of a private despatch?" |
44281 | The question now arose what was to be done next? |
20215 | Are you aware you are being paid for your services? |
20215 | Are you hurt, Bill? |
20215 | Are you willing to work for the Canadians? |
20215 | Do you mind my looking at you, sir? |
20215 | Do you think you could put in a word for me to----? |
20215 | First,he said,"have you got a car?" |
20215 | Has the offensive started? |
20215 | Have you got a servant? |
20215 | Have you got your car ready? |
20215 | No furniture broken, no damage done to the room, Bill? |
20215 | Really? |
20215 | Second,said he,"have you got any sable brushes?" |
20215 | The day? |
20215 | Then why do you not go to my left as I commanded? |
20215 | Third,said he,"will you lend me some?" |
20215 | To what are you attached now? |
20215 | Well, what do you want here? |
20215 | Well,said he,"the first question I asked was,''Have you got a car?''" |
20215 | What are you doing in Paris? |
20215 | What do you mean by behaving this way? |
20215 | What have you been doing? |
20215 | What noise? |
20215 | What on earth are you here at this hour of the morning for? |
20215 | What photo? 20215 What the devil are you two doing?" |
20215 | What the hell has that got to do with my sable brushes? |
20215 | What way, please, sir? |
20215 | Where is it? |
20215 | Who is your friend? |
20215 | Why? |
20215 | Why? |
20215 | Why? |
20215 | ( p. 022)"Do n''t you know you must report to me, and show me what work you have been doing?" |
20215 | ( p. 065) Girls, have you been there? |
20215 | --Does anyone realise what those words must have meant to them then? |
20215 | A terrible- looking Tommy stopped Brooks in the Street of the Three Pebbles and said:"Say, guv''ner, when are you going to give me me photo?" |
20215 | About the same time I received a telegram from Sir Philip Sassoon:"Where the devil are you? |
20215 | Afraid? |
20215 | After all, why should they fuss themselves? |
20215 | An hour and a half each day, for four or five days? |
20215 | And where was one? |
20215 | Anyway, for an hour or so they were out of the rain and mud, but afterwards? |
20215 | But what must it have looked like when the Somme was covered with snow, and the white- garmented Tommies used to raid it at night? |
20215 | But why did you come out here?" |
20215 | Could one doubt that those at home would not reward them? |
20215 | Did it mean defeat? |
20215 | Did they think of that, and all the joys it seemed to promise them? |
20215 | Every hour he used to come in and tap me on the shoulder, point to the red tab, and say:"What about it? |
20215 | Had he power? |
20215 | Have you a ping- pong table here?" |
20215 | Have you lived in Ireland?" |
20215 | He did not speak to us, but after breakfast he said:"Is your name Orpen?" |
20215 | He looked all round the room and said in a deep voice:"Is Sir William Orpen here?" |
20215 | He replied:"Do n''t you remember I asked you three questions?" |
20215 | He roared at me,"Are you an S.S.O.?" |
20215 | He said:"Back from where?" |
20215 | He said:"Have you any business you want to go to France for?" |
20215 | He said:"Refused?" |
20215 | He stopped me and said:"Have you come to paint the Governor''s portrait, sir?" |
20215 | He walked up to me and, towering over me, looked down and said in grave doubt:"Are_ you_ Sir William Orpen?" |
20215 | He was telling me about this, and said,"Do you mind my asking you three questions?" |
20215 | How are you, old bean? |
20215 | How long did I want him for? |
20215 | I explained to him that there was no smell, and he said,"But did n''t you see one has an eye still?" |
20215 | I had n''t seen him since he sent the telegram,"When do you return?" |
20215 | I remember an officer saying to me,"Paint the Somme? |
20215 | I remember one afternoon they came to my room and Mrs. Botha said:"Well, Louis, what kind of a morning had you?" |
20215 | I said,"whom did he kill?" |
20215 | I said:"Can you understand any( p. 112) English?" |
20215 | I said:"Do you realise you have killed four men this morning?" |
20215 | I said:"How did you get back so soon, sir?" |
20215 | I said:"Sir, do n''t you want an extra batman with you?" |
20215 | I wonder who she was and where she is now? |
20215 | Is n''t it magnificent?" |
20215 | It was uncanny, these great birds starting off into the blackness-- to what? |
20215 | Lovely morning, is n''t it?" |
20215 | Master? |
20215 | Might he smoke while he sat? |
20215 | Of what? |
20215 | One morning the boy who washed me said:"I beg your pardon, sir, but what are you being treated for?" |
20215 | Presently he called me in, and Sassoon said I was to paint the Chief, and would I come to lunch the next day at Advanced H.Q., G.H.Q.? |
20215 | Rasputin, for instance, what was he? |
20215 | Said I:"What has happened to poor Marthe? |
20215 | Said I:''Can you please direct me to the Gare du Nord?'' |
20215 | Said he:"Are you Orpen?" |
20215 | Singie well? |
20215 | Suddenly( p. 052) Maurice stopped, and said:"What''s that noise?" |
20215 | That great human Field- Marshal, Lord Haig, the man who knows, works for them still, and asks-- but who answers? |
20215 | The Colonel rang up the same afternoon and said,"Certainly,"would I name my day and hour? |
20215 | The General was told that I wanted to see the aerodromes, and Maurice shyly said:"May I take Orpen round, sir? |
20215 | The day after I reached Dieppe I received a telegram from the"Colonel":"When do you return?" |
20215 | The following was the conversation as far as I remember:--"Is that Orpen?" |
20215 | The king turned, and said to him:"Are you the only man in my State who does not obey his wife?" |
20215 | The next day? |
20215 | The one thing these wonderful super- men gave me to think that evening was:"What shall we do? |
20215 | Was the prophecy true of the Virgin falling from her tower? |
20215 | Was there ever a more ghastly place? |
20215 | Were the Allies beaten? |
20215 | What am I to do? |
20215 | What colour is that reflected light under the horse''s belly?" |
20215 | What colour is the reflection now?" |
20215 | What colour is the reflection on the horse''s belly now?" |
20215 | What day would you like him to come to sit?" |
20215 | What do you make of it all, Bill?" |
20215 | What is the matter?" |
20215 | What more comfort could one wish? |
20215 | What must the little man have felt? |
20215 | What must they have felt? |
20215 | What would Her Ladyship say if I let you be painted that way?" |
20215 | What would I have been like had I been one of them? |
20215 | When I got on the boat I met General Seely, who introduced me to General Sir Arthur Currie, who said:"You used to billet at St. Pol, usedn''t you?" |
20215 | When I got the General the way I wanted him, the batman leant over my shoulder, and said:"Is the Governor right now?" |
20215 | When I started painting him he said,"Why waste your time painting me? |
20215 | When I was leaving I said to Munnings,"What about those sable brushes, Munnings?" |
20215 | When did I wish to start? |
20215 | When he came to me he said the usual,"Everything all right with you?" |
20215 | Where had the Huns got to? |
20215 | Who are you?" |
20215 | Why did n''t you ask her to leave?" |
20215 | Why leave France when wonder after wonder was happening? |
20215 | Why should they trouble about these men? |
20215 | Why worry now to honour the representatives of the dead, or the maimed, or the blind, or the living that remained? |
20215 | Will they do as they promised for us? |
20215 | Would I go and look out what room would suit me to work in? |
20215 | Would I have some lunch and follow him there? |
20215 | Would we come back at 5 p.m.? |
20215 | Would we come back at 7 p.m.? |
20215 | You''re feeling a bit cheap, ai n''t you? |
20215 | [ Illustration: V._ Warwickshires entering Péronne._] How did they do it? |
20215 | _ I_ did n''t think so, but to make conversation I said:"How long is it since you were home?" |
20215 | _ The Official Entry of the Kaiser._] Could anyone forecast the tragedy that has happened to so many of these men since? |

20215 | of the C.-in- C. at once?" |
20215 | to obtain Luxury Tax Tickets and return? |
20215 | to which I replied:"Return where, please?" |
20215 | what did I tell you?" |
40477 | And who are you? |
40477 | And why in the Confederate army? |
40477 | I suppose you will want to get home as quickly as possible, wo n''t you? |
40477 | Shall I run over there too? |
40477 | Who did this outrage? |
40477 | Why do you want to see that old Ape? |
40477 | You shared my friendship, shared my bread, even, did n''t you? |
40477 | And where was Braggs''army? |
40477 | As he fell from his horse the adjutant sprang to the ground and cried,"Who shot the officer of the day?" |
40477 | At the crucial moment our leader_ had lost his nerve_ and_ become a coward_; or had he betrayed us? |
40477 | But what availed it to collect his soldiers there? |
40477 | But what could he do? |
40477 | I had been in the Union army three years; was it not a good time to give the Rebels a trial? |
40477 | In the car where I was, one of the astonished guards, finding himself without a gun, coolly said:"And what are you''uns going to do with we''uns?" |
40477 | Is it any wonder that now, after the long and perilous years, it is preserved by me as a souvenir of honor? |
40477 | The sentinel who did the killing declared that Rebels had been slipping up to his post all night, and when he would hail with"Who goes there?" |
40477 | Then he went and leaned against a column, and, turning to the Southerner, said,"Yes, we were long together, were n''t we?" |
40477 | Was the leader simply a coward, or was he paid for betraying us? |
40477 | We had strange feelings, the chief of which was probably the thought: Would the enemy on the opposite bank fire into us and drown us all? |
40477 | Were we discovered? |
40477 | What could be done? |
40477 | What had happened? |
40477 | What had they left to live for? |
40477 | What on earth were they looking at? |
40477 | What was going to happen? |
40477 | What was our chance? |
40477 | What you doing away over here?" |
40477 | Where then would have been Vicksburg, Spotsylvania, Richmond, Appomattox? |
40477 | Where was that escaped picket? |
40477 | Where''s your regiment? |
40477 | Who knew how soon all of Braggs''army might be alarmed and upon us? |
40477 | Why not move in?" |
40477 | Why not? |
40477 | he inquired,"or would you rather remain here awhile and look about the army?" |
40477 | what shall I do?" |
40477 | which way? |
40890 | All right,said he,"what will you have?" |
40890 | 1, where the guard calls out,"Who comes there?" |
40890 | Besides, what would I have had to put in my diary? |
40890 | But what shall I say to father about it? |
40890 | Can I ever repay them? |
40890 | Can any one imagine our surprise and our great delight at finding the 150th N. Y. in camp right across the road from our camp? |
40890 | Cross and crabbed, sore in every joint, and mad at everything and everybody, we crawled out of our beds(?) |
40890 | Dear me, what will father and mother do now? |
40890 | Do they tell us this to keep up our courage, or has the beginning of the end really come? |
40890 | Have I ever described a hard- tack to you? |
40890 | He was not hurt, and after his staff had caught up and helped him on his horse, he came up and said,"To what regiment do you men belong?" |
40890 | How do you do, and have you a leave of absence for me on or about you? |
40890 | I suppose each one, like myself, has crowded the time full of visiting, for who knows when we will have another chance? |
40890 | I wonder if my letters give them as much pleasure? |
40890 | If the whole 19th Army Corps together ca n''t get in, how can a thousand men expect to do it? |
40890 | If they blame us for the condition we are in, who brought these conditions about? |
40890 | One fellow, after filling up on it, said"What''s the use of women anyway? |
40890 | Shall I ever get over longing for that home? |
40890 | Was ever anything more tantalizing than that? |
40890 | We cook our own victuals, wash and mend our own clothes, make up our own beds-- and what more could women do?" |
40890 | We have a good team, a beautiful day, and have been stopped at nearly every house long enough to say"how are you?" |
40890 | What are our folks at to- day? |
40890 | What if my leave of absence should come before pay day? |
40890 | What would we do if our old friend, the Mississippi, should dry up? |
40890 | What would we do without the brook running past us? |
40890 | What''s the matter up there? |
40890 | When will I get clear from the hospital? |
40890 | Where is that storming party? |
40890 | Why could n''t they wait until we got there? |
40890 | Will they ever get strong again? |
44124 | If any earthly pride be justifiable, are not the sons of Guilford entitled to entertain it? 44124 What can we not endure, When pains are lessened by the hope of cure?" |
44124 | And who could more appropriately present this banner than your majesty and her fair subjects? |
44124 | As the cars moved off, Jim gave him a quizzical lookout of his left eye, smiled, and faintly whispered"stationed?" |
44124 | Being of an inquisitive nature, and seeking information, he had the rashness to address Jim Pearce, and inquire of him:"_ Whose command? |
44124 | On the 4th day of July, 1776, the National Declaration, adopting(?) |
44124 | Shall the living have less? |
44124 | Should we thus prostrate ourselves to invite the scorn and contempt which even our enemies would have the right to bestow upon us? |
44124 | TATE, ROBERT B.--Enlisted June 11, 1861; wounded at Wilderness May 5, 1864; died of wounds June(? |
44124 | We did our best to make ourselves perfect in the drill and manual-- for would not all eyes be upon us? |
44124 | _ Shall we now recant?_ Shall we now solemnly declare that we did not believe what we professed to fight for? |
44124 | _ Shall we now recant?_ Shall we now solemnly declare that we did not believe what we professed to fight for? |
4367 | Well,said he,"did n''t you think it was the biggest shuck and the littlest ear that ever you did see?" |
4367 | Well,said he,"did you see him take it off?" |
4367 | What appointment? |
4367 | Where? |
4367 | Can Grant supply himself from the Mississippi? |
4367 | Halleck was present and spoke up, saying:"How would Sheridan do?" |
4367 | MAJOR- GENERAL THOMAS, Nashville, Tenn. Is there not danger of Forrest moving down the Cumberland to where he can cross it? |
4367 | Often"Johnny"would call:"Well, Yank, when are you coming into town?" |
4367 | Should his request be granted, who would you like as his successor? |
4367 | The next was,"What are WE to do?" |
4367 | When he did speak it was to ask:"Grant, how many wolves do you think there are in that pack?" |
4367 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
4367 | Why not attack at once? |
4367 | will you work? |
4362 | 9:45 p.m."LIEUTENANT- GENERAL GRANT:"Would it not be well for Warren to go down with his whole corps and smash up the force in front of Sheridan? |
4362 | As I drew up by the party, Bismarck accosted me with,"Well, General, are n''t you hungry? |
4362 | At this General Grant remarked:"Did he say so? |
4362 | Could not your cavalry go back by the way of Stony Creek depot and destroy or capture the store of supplies there? |
4362 | Have any more troops arrived from Richmond, or are any more coming, or reported to be coming? |
4362 | He remaining mounted, spoke first to me, saying simply,"How are you, Sheridan?" |
4362 | I assured him with thanks that I was"first- rate,"when, pointing toward the village, he asked,"Is General Lee up there?" |
4362 | I presume that some one said to the Governor about this time,"Why do n''t you get Sheridan?" |
4362 | Offering the flask to his uncle, he said:"You''ve had a hard day of it; wo n''t you refresh yourself?" |
4362 | This feature was more than acceptable to the parents at times, for how else could they so thoroughly learn all the neighborhood gossip? |
4362 | Where are you?" |
45436 | How many do you think there are? |
45436 | Did he think one regiment could drive Stonewall Jackson away? |
45436 | Do you know where he is and what he is doing? |
45436 | It would be a natural question to ask-- what was Pope doing with his cavalry? |
45436 | The inquiry is now naturally suggested,_ What did he communicate_? |
45436 | Then, too, there had been artillery firing; what could possibly have been the reason for that? |
45436 | Where were they going? |
45436 | to reinforce Pope or McClellan? |
16463 | Do you know these fellows? |
16463 | For how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his gods? |
16463 | Has our attempt been a complete failure? 16463 Have you permission to leave your farm?" |
16463 | Well, and where do you want to put them on? |
16463 | What is that hard thing in your pocket? |
16463 | Why,asked Fouchà ©,"do n''t you capture this fellow with his raiding bands? |
16463 | ''I wish politicians could see their handiwork,''''What can God in Heaven think of this sight?''" |
16463 | ''What o''clock is it?'' |
16463 | After my acquittal I was advanced to the honour(?) |
16463 | And his broad chin, does it not reveal the man of tenacity and endurance? |
16463 | And how did General De Wet fare when he crossed the Orange River on the 11th of February, 1901? |
16463 | And how did the officers who had to subscribe to these terms of peace feel? |
16463 | And the Boer women, who are the very embodiment of liberty itself, were they less enthusiastic and determined to be free than their husbands and sons? |
16463 | And these pioneers, whence came they, and what is their origin? |
16463 | And your conscience, is that not tarnished with the blood of men, women and children, who fell in Freedom''s holy war? |
16463 | Anxiously we asked ourselves, Whither now? |
16463 | Are these not qualities which recommend themselves as worthy of admiration? |
16463 | Are they not indications of much that is noble and good, even though the foe be vanquished? |
16463 | Are you not ashamed to slander your own people in this way? |
16463 | Are your hands not stained with the blood of your countrymen? |
16463 | But are they not found among all nations? |
16463 | But asked at the same time,"Do tell me, are you really an Englishman? |
16463 | But what about the women- folk, if the country is to be cleared? |
16463 | Can the mountain torrent rushing down the valley be stemmed in its onward course? |
16463 | Can we surprise the enemy? |
16463 | Could the English have given the Boers a better testimonial of gallant behaviour than these? |
16463 | Did Lord Roberts think that the occupation of Pretoria would terminate hostilities? |
16463 | Did they merit such treatment? |
16463 | Did they not hit upon the right photo? |
16463 | Do not such engagements prove that the Boers could hold their own not only behind stones and in trenches but also on the plain? |
16463 | Do not the English pride themselves in possessing these very qualities, qualities which, they say, have made them a great and mighty nation? |
16463 | Does not his broad forehead indicate thoughtfulness? |
16463 | Does this often happen in the history of wars-- a foe lashed by its own weapons? |
16463 | For were we not encouraged by our recent success, and was there not every chance of achieving another? |
16463 | Had the Colonists no claim to protection? |
16463 | Had the prosecutor not sounded them beforehand by asking them to point out the prisoner''s photo among a number of other photos? |
16463 | Has this not been done in certain cases? |
16463 | Hast thou verily extinguished by force the highest and holiest ambitions of a free- born people? |
16463 | Have not sentences of death, confiscation of property, and imprisonment been passed on the evidences of such witnesses? |
16463 | Have not the British forces sustained some of their greatest losses when these untrained peasants led the charge? |
16463 | He was asked,''Is that Kritzinger?'' |
16463 | How can he then be responsible for the shooting of these natives when he was not at the farm? |
16463 | How couldst thou have torn so mercilessly the noble passions and aspirations of being free and independent from the Boer hearts? |
16463 | How did Jan Louw identify Kritzinger? |
16463 | How enthusiastically(?) |
16463 | How has this to be accounted for? |
16463 | How? |
16463 | I am glad it has been brought out, for it goes to show nothing against the character of the accused, but it tells in his favour, for, what do we find? |
16463 | If 300 Britishers were to have entered the two republics, would they have proceeded very far? |
16463 | If the British had the right to stay in the Republics, why should we not tarry awhile in the Colony? |
16463 | If wounded officers, entrusted to your care, are treated thus, what must the private expect?" |
16463 | In short, this kind(?) |
16463 | In so doing have they committed the unpardonable sin? |
16463 | Is a man who bears such a character likely to have committed the crimes charged against him? |
16463 | Is it because the colonists enjoy such great liberty(?) |
16463 | Is it too much to plead for a general amnesty? |
16463 | Is this not conclusive evidence that they must have seen and known the prisoner? |
16463 | It seems a barbarous process, but is not war, at its very best, barbarous, brutal, and unbefitting civilized nations? |
16463 | Kritzinger is supposed to have said to the boy:''Did you see those boys? |
16463 | Must he then be condemned without it? |
16463 | My secretary, who had never before been in such a circle, asked me:"Now, General, what now? |
16463 | Now what is the truth in regard to them? |
16463 | Now when any one is hungry, and people will neither give nor sell, what else can he do than help himself? |
16463 | Now, sir, what proof have we of that being so in this case? |
16463 | O, if to fight for... commonweal Were piety in thine, it is in these.... Wilt thou draw near the nature of the Gods? |
16463 | One English writer says:"What glory shall a mighty empire win from a victory over 15,000 farmers? |
16463 | Or will there be mercy even for these? |
16463 | Peeping out at the door, he asked with tremulous voice,"What do you want?" |
16463 | Pretorius, who posed as an English officer, asked Mr. B.,"Where are the Boers?" |
16463 | Rest? |
16463 | Retreat? |
16463 | Shall we succeed or not? |
16463 | Shall we succeed? |
16463 | Surely the odds were already great enough-- why then adopt blacks? |
16463 | Surrender? |
16463 | Surrender? |
16463 | The horses, saddles, bridles, rifles and bandoliers, where were they? |
16463 | The latter, pointing to certain ridges in the distance, said in rather broken English,"Do you see those kopjes yonder? |
16463 | The two men we had sent ahead-- what became of them? |
16463 | Then, indeed, the darkness seemed tangible Who shall number the tears shed on that day-- tears of men, women, and even children? |
16463 | Those that came back, what did they find? |
16463 | To the question,"Guilty or not?" |
16463 | Van der Walt said to me,"Do you see that man in front, riding on the large blue horse? |
16463 | Was it fear that kept me awake? |
16463 | Was it quite prudent on the part of the British to tempt them to rear their children in bitter hatred of the English race? |
16463 | Was it red earth, or was it the blood of friend or foe that coloured the water? |
16463 | Was it the fault of the Colonists that they were placed in such an awkward position? |
16463 | Was it their fault? |
16463 | Was it then arrogance and vainglory which prompted them to offer battle to one of the great Powers of the world? |
16463 | We do not marvel at this, for are they not formed of that stuff of which martyrs have been made in bygone years? |
16463 | Were they not prosecuted after our departure for welcoming and receiving their kith and kin? |
16463 | What about the faults and defects of the Boer? |
16463 | What are their main characteristics? |
16463 | What if a prisoner does not possess the means to secure legal defence? |
16463 | What if they refuse to surrender? |
16463 | What is our next move?" |
16463 | What is that deep rumbling in the distance? |
16463 | What is their significance? |
16463 | What must be done? |
16463 | What then were their reasons for risking their very lives in a cause which might perhaps fail? |
16463 | What was it? |
16463 | What was the stimulus and inspiration of the British forces? |
16463 | What will be the issue? |
16463 | What would one expect? |
16463 | What would the English have done if subjected to such treatment? |
16463 | When they reached the Boer scouts the two burghers had already captured(?) |
16463 | Whither? |
16463 | Who goes there?'' |
16463 | Who shall describe the anxiety of such moments? |
16463 | Who then shall adequately depict the misery and woe which has entered so many homes since the first shot was fired in South Africa? |
16463 | Who, then, are these men and women who so stubbornly resisted British power and supremacy for such a long period under such great disadvantages? |
16463 | Why could I not sleep? |
16463 | Why not engage them? |
16463 | Why trek again in the bitter cold at midnight?" |
16463 | Will that happy day ever dawn, or is South Africa doomed to be a land of discord? |
16463 | Will that not lessen the intense race- hatred between two peoples destined to live in the same land? |
16463 | and share in so many privileges? |
16463 | brother, national scout, who may be reading this, do you not regret and lament the unhappy part of traitor? |
16463 | so much-- their homes, their beloved families, their possessions and their lives? |
16463 | something in the darkness-- what may that be? |
46131 | How do you like the blanket merchants now?" |
39346 | ''How does late election sit with you? 39346 _ Commissioner Davis._ Would you fire into the city of Baltimore? |
39346 | Another question is, What shall be done with the national territory? |
39346 | Are there not wisdom and patriotism enough in the land to settle these questions? |
39346 | Are we to have a war of sections? |
39346 | Can the Queen of England do so much?" |
39346 | Do n''t you know him?'' |
39346 | Do you approve? |
39346 | If so, how were they to come, by land or water? |
39346 | In what part of the Constitution could such a power be found? |
39346 | Or was she temporarily to isolate herself and wait until the frenzy had in some measure spent its force and reason had begun to resume its sway? |
39346 | Shall it belong exclusively to the North or the South, or shall it be shared by both, as it was gained by the blood and treasure of both? |
39346 | Shall one be taken and another left? |
39346 | Standing with the principles of''76 behind us, who can deny them the right? |
39346 | Was Baltimore to be compelled at once to determine whether she would side with the North or with the South? |
39346 | Was it true that a citizen held his liberty subject to the arbitrary will of any man? |
39346 | Was there indeed to be war between the sections, or could it yet, by some unlooked- for interposition, be averted? |
39346 | Were more troops to be forced through the city at any cost? |
39346 | Were the guns of Fort McHenry to be turned upon the inhabitants? |
39346 | What but the right of self- defense? |
39346 | What course, then, was left to the South if it was determined to maintain its rights under the Constitution? |
39346 | What did it mean in 1861? |
39346 | What is a matter of a few millions of dollars or a few forts? |
39346 | What is it, if it is proper that I should know?'' |
39346 | What is your judgment in the matter?'' |
39346 | What precedent existed for such an act? |
39346 | When are these scenes to cease? |
39346 | Where did the President of the United States acquire such a power? |
39346 | Who denies them the right? |
39346 | Who should accompany the President on his perilous ride? |
39346 | Why had it never been discovered before? |
39346 | Will they be good men to send out to kill Lincoln and his men? |
39346 | Would the Border States interfere and demand peace? |
39346 | _ Chief Justice._--The commanding officer, then, declines to obey the writ? |
33121 | Did not Old Greece, or some tribe from about the sources of the Nile win it? |
33121 | Here, what are these men falling back for? |
33121 | How is it going? |
33121 | Shall we attack the Rebel? |
33121 | Then why tell me what I do not ask or care to know? |
33121 | Will he attack us? |
33121 | Will there be a battle to- day? |
33121 | Will you see your color storm the wall alone? |
33121 | And how look these fields? |
33121 | And my horse can hardly move-- the spur will not start him-- what can be the reason? |
33121 | And what if that invasion should be successful, and in the coming battle, the Army of the Potomac should be overpowered? |
33121 | As he arrived near me, coming up the hill, he asked, in a sharp, eager voice:"How is it going here?" |
33121 | At four o''clock on the morning of the Third, I was awakened by Gen. Gibbon''s pulling me by the foot and saying:"Come, do n''t you hear that?" |
33121 | But where is the infantry? |
33121 | Can you assist him?" |
33121 | Did they not charge him personally, with the defeat at Chancellorsville? |
33121 | Do these thick mounds cover the fiery hearts that in the battle rage swept the crest and stormed the wall? |
33121 | Do you not think that by this time we began to feel a personal interest in this fight? |
33121 | Does the country know any better than the President that Meade, Hancock and Gibbon were entitled to some little share of such credit? |
33121 | Has it vanished in smoke? |
33121 | How? |
33121 | I would ask of a man I met,"Do you know, sir, where the 2d corps hospitals are?" |
33121 | Is it strange? |
33121 | Is the assault already repulsed?_"his voice quicker and more eager than before. |
33121 | Is this a nightmare or a juggler''s devilish trick? |
33121 | Might not the enemy fall upon and destroy the First Corps before succor could arrive? |
33121 | Oh, where is Gibbon? |
33121 | That Corps gone, what is there between the Second Corps, and these yelling masses of the enemy? |
33121 | The artillery fight over, men began to breathe more freely, and to ask, What next, I wonder? |
33121 | Then I would ask sharply,"Did you understand me to ask for the 12th corps hospital?" |
33121 | Thought we, what could this mean? |
33121 | To the question asked the men,"What do you think of this?" |
33121 | Was ever a more absurd supposition? |
33121 | Was ever claim so absurd? |
33121 | Was ever princely couch or softest down so soft as those rough blankets, there upon the unroofed sod? |
33121 | Was ever such a chorus of sound before? |
33121 | Was not that a fit occasion, and these fugitives the men on whom to try the temper of the Solinzen steel? |
33121 | Was there ever anything so fine before? |
33121 | Were they not still burning with indignation against him for that disgrace? |
33121 | What other expression had we that was not mean, for such an awful universe of battle? |
33121 | What sound was that? |
33121 | What was it ever put there for? |
33121 | What would be the result? |
33121 | Where was I? |
33121 | Who can describe such a conflict as is raging around us? |
33121 | Who could sketch the changes, the constant shifting of the bloody panorama? |
33121 | Who of us could tell but that he would be the first to need them? |
33121 | Why does the Western Army suppose that the Army of the Potomac does not fight? |
33121 | Why not go to your regiment and be a man?" |
33121 | Will the country remember them? |
33121 | With his not greatly superior numbers, under such circumstances had Gen. Meade attacked, would he have been victorious? |
33121 | Would it not be? |
33121 | or if stately history fill as she list her arbitrary tablet, the sounding record of this fight? |
33121 | were my senses mad? |
33121 | where is Hancock?--some general-- anybody with the power and the will to support that wasting, melting line? |
11414 | American, are n''t you? |
11414 | And who is he? |
11414 | And you are not an Englishman, eh? |
11414 | Any around here now? |
11414 | Are there any around here? |
11414 | Are they getting me ready for the torturing? |
11414 | Are they making me well in order that I may suffer all the more? |
11414 | Been in any battles? |
11414 | But the men who do the ordering, the officers and the military caste, the whole Prussian outfit? |
11414 | But what pretexts could they find for such action? |
11414 | But what''s the use? 11414 Ca n''t you do something for me?" |
11414 | Ca n''t you tell the difference between right and left? 11414 Did you enjoy it?" |
11414 | Do you really mean what you just said? |
11414 | Have n''t I? |
11414 | How can you tell an Uhlan? |
11414 | How can you turn us out into that darkness filled with Zeppelins? |
11414 | How does it feel to be blindfolded and stood up against a wall by a firing squad? |
11414 | If one man can be liberated,we argued,"why not another? |
11414 | If you are not German, or Belgian, or French, or English, what are you then? |
11414 | Is this the way to Vise? |
11414 | Kill any Germans? |
11414 | No matter if he had announced his coming, you would shoot him, would n''t you? |
11414 | Nothing to eat your stew with? 11414 Now what are you going to do?" |
11414 | Perhaps it is,he replied,"but what do you want in Vise?" |
11414 | Robert? |
11414 | Those nasty papers? |
11414 | Was I going to be railroaded off to jail, or even worse? |
11414 | Was it dangerous? |
11414 | Was it possible? |
11414 | Washout, bombs or Uhlans? |
11414 | Well, then, all ready for the expedition? |
11414 | Well, then, do you paddle a canoe? |
11414 | Well, what am I to do? |
11414 | Were the Germans going to make a summary example of me to warn outsiders to cease prowling around the war zone? |
11414 | What are you doing down here-- fighting? |
11414 | What are you doing? |
11414 | What are you talking about? 11414 What can I do with Robert gone and all his friends in the army too?" |
11414 | What do you do with them-- bury them? |
11414 | What do you know about the war? |
11414 | What explanation is there for his possession of that paper? |
11414 | What features are you looking for? |
11414 | What for? |
11414 | What the hell you think I''m doing? |
11414 | What would you do if a thief or a murderer entered your house? |
11414 | What''s the trouble? |
11414 | Where are they? |
11414 | Where was this road, anyhow? |
11414 | Which one? |
11414 | Who has any better right? 11414 Why are they tending me so carefully during these last seven days?" |
11414 | Why do n''t you take these too? |
11414 | Why do you deny it? |
11414 | Why is it, Gremberg,I asked,"you never rage against the Boches? |
11414 | Why should I lose a day? 11414 Why?" |
11414 | Why? |
11414 | Why? |
11414 | Will you give me some idea of what you expect to do with me? |
11414 | Yes, but what has that to do with the question? |
11414 | You mean Melun? |
11414 | ( Where are you going?) |
11414 | ( Who goes there?) |
11414 | A great, big hulking American, treated tenderly by this little Belgian, how could I keep the tears from my eyes? |
11414 | A huge fellow almost wild from his wounds bellowed out:"Why do n''t you stick your bayonet into the cursed Englishmen?" |
11414 | A little bit of all right, eh?" |
11414 | All I heard were the words of the officer:"You speak German, eh?" |
11414 | And those demolished shops, were they once filled with the babble of the traders? |
11414 | And what did this day hold in store for me? |
11414 | And who would begrudge them the securing of a few pictures with comparative ease? |
11414 | Are n''t you going to do anything about my case?" |
11414 | Are psychic forces subject to ordinary physical laws, and do they act most powerfully along unobstructed ways? |
11414 | Are you?" |
11414 | At any rate he looked up and exclaimed,"What''s the matter? |
11414 | At the entrance the familiar"Qui va la?" |
11414 | But how was I going to take the sting out of the adverse comments? |
11414 | But the tears in his eyes? |
11414 | But to what avail? |
11414 | But what else can one do?" |
11414 | But what else can one expect from a conscript army, which, as it puts every man on its roster, must necessarily contain the worst as well as the best? |
11414 | But what is it that really constitutes an atrocity? |
11414 | Can it be that these courtyards, now held in the thrall of death- like silence, once rang to the laughter of the little children?" |
11414 | Can you produce any better?" |
11414 | Do you hear them?" |
11414 | Do you think you might keep back from your eyes sparks from that blazing rebellion in your soul? |
11414 | Get that? |
11414 | Had some evil spirit whisked them away? |
11414 | His aroused curiosity took the sting out of his words as he exclaimed,"Who the devil is Robert?" |
11414 | His last one was,"Where is your home?" |
11414 | How could he escape from the toils in which he was held? |
11414 | I made so bold as to approach a sentry and ask:"What has he been doing?" |
11414 | I proceeded vehemently to point out my innocence, when he interrupted my story by asking,"But why did you make that Schreibfehler on your paper?" |
11414 | I put my question of the morning to him:"Is it dangerous traveling along here so late?" |
11414 | I rallied under the shock sufficiently to say,"Will you take a chair?" |
11414 | I took the initiative with the bland inquiry,"What are you hunting for, corpses?" |
11414 | I turned toward Javert and asked, somewhat frantically, I fear:"What is all this for? |
11414 | In how many such hearts is there this sullen revolt against the military system, and how much of a factor will it be to reckon with in the future? |
11414 | In the last place, may I suggest that the theory of an unintentional mistake throws the best light upon the case? |
11414 | Jumping to our feet, we faced a squad of German soldiers and an officer who said:"What are you doing here?" |
11414 | May I now offer a few observations upon this charge, the nature of which just begins to become clear to me? |
11414 | One of them answered somewhat stiffly, adding,"And where did you learn your German?" |
11414 | Or there would come a sudden challenge on the street,"Wohin gehen Sie?" |
11414 | Our question to them was always the same,"Where are the Germans?" |
11414 | Over yonder in that structure, which looks so much like a church, did the faithful once come to pray and to worship God? |
11414 | Rather than wait to be challenged, I thought it best to turn aside and ask them my usual question,"How does one get to Liege?" |
11414 | Reader, have you ever been warden of the theater tickets? |
11414 | Remember the black looks insinuating you were an idiot and the growing conviction on your part that they were not far wrong? |
11414 | So I queried,"You''re an American, are you?" |
11414 | The frog chorus in that Pennsylvania swamp, why had it not been less demonstrative? |
11414 | They are driving back the Boches, eh? |
11414 | To know the worst I ventured:"Well, how are we going to get to Paris?" |
11414 | Was he surrendering? |
11414 | Was that a bluff or the truth? |
11414 | Was this some torturing hallucination? |
11414 | Were Brussels boys made of flabbier stuff? |
11414 | What is it you want the most?" |
11414 | What more could the most ardent German patriot ask for? |
11414 | When my captor bade me follow him I asked:"Can I leave word with my friends?" |
11414 | Where can we find that?" |
11414 | Where had he laid hold of that choice bit of our vernacular? |
11414 | While a thousand hug the quiet haven, what was it that impelled the one to cut moorings and range the deep? |
11414 | Who was to organize discipline and victory out of such a turmoil? |
11414 | Why, oh, why would n''t somebody say something? |
11414 | Wo n''t you look into my case at once? |
11414 | You''fraid?" |
11414 | a minute ago?" |
11414 | he shouted;"are you an American?" |
37372 | Against Russia, you mean? |
37372 | Are you French? |
37372 | Are you joking? 37372 But is war declared? |
37372 | But why? 37372 Do n''t you know that foreigners are not permitted to fight in the Russian Army?" |
37372 | Have you any defence to make? |
37372 | Have you any evidence that you were regularly enlisted in the Russian ranks, which we know to be impossible? |
37372 | How did people do when there was no sugar? |
37372 | How was I to get a horse? |
37372 | Is it usual for you to embody your reserves for the manoeuvres? |
37372 | Then there is war between England and Germany? |
37372 | What are you then? |
37372 | When was it declared? |
37372 | When was that? |
37372 | Whom are you going to fight? |
37372 | Why am I detained? |
37372 | You saw those two fellows shot this morning? 37372 Already? |
37372 | Are you strong enough to do that?" |
37372 | Do they get into trouble for such playful pranks? |
37372 | For a dish of bacon, or a cup of wine, being placed in front of one, what is one to do but relieve the craving of nature? |
37372 | Has the matter been discussed in the Press?" |
37372 | He begged piteously to be first attended to; but what could be done for such a case? |
37372 | How are the men to be got without conscription? |
37372 | How could I utilize these? |
37372 | If I''m killed who will look after them?" |
37372 | Is not what you say absurd?" |
37372 | Is there to be a retribution for this cruelty and wickedness? |
37372 | It was ascertained that they were brothers, and,"What will mother do? |
37372 | Now, eight months later, are they retreating at any point? |
37372 | On the other hand, the Russians retaliated; and I say, what wonder that they did so? |
37372 | The starving(?) |
37372 | Was there ever a more horrible way of conducting war? |
37372 | What are the charges against a bandit''s victims? |
37372 | What do I term luxuries? |
37372 | What do you wish?" |
37372 | What had become of the inhabitants of this collection of wrecked homes? |
37372 | What if a misunderstanding occurred? |
37372 | What makes a military nation? |
37372 | What story had the astute Bill preached to her and her husband to occasion this change of behaviour? |
37372 | When the day of Peace comes, will the Great British Nation treat as a man the author of all this cruelty and wickedness? |
37372 | Will he do it? |
15224 | And what did you reply? |
15224 | And what is the situation now? |
15224 | Are those Boers or English, outa? |
15224 | Build a line without material? 15224 But do n''t you think it would be better to join a commando and help in making an organised resistance? |
15224 | But honestly, what is your real opinion of those who desert their country in her hour of need? |
15224 | But suppose the animal dies? |
15224 | Can you give me anything to eat? |
15224 | Can you remain there for a while? |
15224 | Could you see when your bullet went home? |
15224 | Did your commando lose many men? |
15224 | Do you advise me to try? |
15224 | Do you know what that is? |
15224 | Do you mean to disobey the orders of the Government? |
15224 | Do you think they catch children like him? |
15224 | Father, can I go too? |
15224 | Go away,said one of the Boers,"what do you mean by staring at the man like that? |
15224 | Good evening,I said in English,"are there any Boers about?" |
15224 | Good morning,I said;"rather early, is n''t it?" |
15224 | Had I not better remain and watch their movements? |
15224 | Have you money enough? 15224 Hello, is that you? |
15224 | How dare you be guilty of such sacrilege? |
15224 | How did you feel during the fight? |
15224 | How now, Harry? |
15224 | How was that possible? |
15224 | Is this the road to Vrede? |
15224 | Oh, you''re the Kafir chief, are you? |
15224 | Something happened up there last night? |
15224 | Sure? |
15224 | The unexpected, I suppose? |
15224 | They have not been here yet? |
15224 | This is a bit different from old Tyneside, ai n''t it? |
15224 | Well, ca n''t you answer? |
15224 | Well,he said, calling me by name,"where do you come from?" |
15224 | What ails him? |
15224 | What do we owe you for the forage? |
15224 | What do you think the confounded English have had the cheek to do? |
15224 | What for, uncle? |
15224 | What is it? 15224 What news?" |
15224 | What''s the matter, my son,asked the astonished father,"does n''t he like his khakis?" |
15224 | Where are your sentries? |
15224 | Where''s the Standerton laager? |
15224 | Which is the road to Colenso? |
15224 | Whither would you flee? |
15224 | Who is in charge? |
15224 | Who struck that match? |
15224 | Who will take in ammunition? |
15224 | Whose are those you are using now? |
15224 | Why do n''t you ask the President''s party for food? 15224 Why not, my lad?" |
15224 | Why? |
15224 | Will I? 15224 You mean us to act like the dervishes at Omdurman? |
15224 | You noticed that soldier lying behind the antheap, a hole in his forehead? 15224 Your husband is not back yet?" |
15224 | ), the Jansen transformed into Johnson, and the Volschenk merged into Foolskunk? |
15224 | A burgher woke up one night to find himself being roughly shaken and someone shouting in his ear--"What are you doing? |
15224 | And all for what? |
15224 | And cousins?" |
15224 | And mine, I say, and mine; three they are, boys yet-- what, no more? |
15224 | And perhaps, after all, if we ride steadily, who knows? |
15224 | And where are your arms? |
15224 | And where the devil are you running away to in such a hurry?" |
15224 | Are we, who have lost sons, brothers, friends-- are we, I say, to think of our property now? |
15224 | Are you Winburg?" |
15224 | But honestly, why do n''t you come in and surrender?" |
15224 | But how? |
15224 | But what can one say of those"oprechte[A] Afrikaners"who followed the same procedure? |
15224 | But what-- how comes he here? |
15224 | Ca n''t you load it up for me as far as Lindley?" |
15224 | Can you sell us a few bundles of forage?" |
15224 | Can you supply me with a horse?" |
15224 | Coming along?" |
15224 | Deserted the town? |
15224 | Devons? |
15224 | Do n''t you hear the alarm?" |
15224 | Do n''t you know any better than to insult a helpless prisoner?" |
15224 | Do you mind remaining three or four days longer?" |
15224 | Does not one old lady still bear the scars of the nineteen stabs she received on that day? |
15224 | First came the question_ in English_--"Where are they?" |
15224 | For what did these poor Lancashire lads know or care about the merits of the war? |
15224 | Got a blanket?" |
15224 | Have you ever steered an extremely willing young thing through her first waltz? |
15224 | His gun stands in the bucket; we can shoot him, but then, the others? |
15224 | How could I argue? |
15224 | How did you like the hell fire from the Nordenfeldt?" |
15224 | How did you like the little bits o''lyddite yesterday?" |
15224 | How much? |
15224 | Is it any man''s duty to kill and be killed without knowing why? |
15224 | It was plainly my duty to protest, but what could I do, a stranger, a mere youth? |
15224 | My sons, do they live? |
15224 | Of course we made a very poor show; what can you expect? |
15224 | Of what people may cousin be?" |
15224 | On seeing me, the leader reined in and shouted--"What the devil is this? |
15224 | Responsible? |
15224 | Sha n''t I go and try to tap it?" |
15224 | Speaking to an old campaigner on the subject, he said--"Tell me candidly, how do you feel?" |
15224 | The Smits who became Smith, the Louw that suddenly shrank into Lowe( could he sink lower? |
15224 | The gun found buried in your yard; your father''s work? |
15224 | The men''s hearts grow light as they polish their rifles, for are not they going to behold their dear ones soon? |
15224 | Then what are they fighting for? |
15224 | Then,"Where is Piet De Wet?" |
15224 | Thoroughly roused by his bullying tone, I retorted--"And who the devil are you? |
15224 | Trying to fool us, are you?" |
15224 | Was it you, Jantje?" |
15224 | We do not take the_ spoor_, we slip across the veld; my mount treads gingerly, but what odds? |
15224 | What are you doing here?" |
15224 | What can have happened? |
15224 | What commando is this?" |
15224 | What did John Bull think of all these precious acquisitions to his family? |
15224 | What do you think happened?" |
15224 | What else can you be but cursed spies, riding about the country like this?" |
15224 | What is one horse more or less?" |
15224 | What is the secret of his success? |
15224 | What means all this commotion? |
15224 | What were those lines of Bret Harte''s about the humming of the battle bees?... |
15224 | What''s the news?" |
15224 | What''s up?" |
15224 | What, the others gone already? |
15224 | Whatever will become of us?" |
15224 | Where are those ten guns?" |
15224 | Where is our commando? |
15224 | Where''s the enemy? |
15224 | Where''s the foe, quick? |
15224 | Who are you?" |
15224 | Who can describe it all? |
15224 | Who can tell what regrets for the past were felt by the aged couple?--what hopes for the future by the helpless lasses? |
15224 | Who has arrived?" |
15224 | Why are you leaving already? |
15224 | Why was the burgher guard absent? |
15224 | Why? |
15224 | Why?" |
15224 | Wo n''t you join us at supper?" |
15224 | Would he exchange it for ours, and take something to boot? |
15224 | Yes? |
15224 | You may kill a few of the enemy by hanging about in twos and threes, but what difference will that make in the end?" |
15224 | Your brother, is he well? |
32246 | And the rennet for the cheese, and the salt- pork? |
32246 | And the salt? |
32246 | Damn it,said he,"will you never let up? |
32246 | Do n''t want nothin'', dew yer,coming over and picking out the smallest pole in the pile;"Pooty durned small, been''t they? |
32246 | Gor- rammed little fool; did n''t you know better than that? |
32246 | Gosh, that pie was good, was n''t it,''Pod''? |
32246 | Heow be yer? |
32246 | How dare you? |
32246 | How many have you got left? |
32246 | It is, eh? |
32246 | Midget,said Col. McArthur,"if you had supreme command of our army, what would you do?" |
32246 | No? 32246 Oh, plenty,"he replied;"how many, do you want?" |
32246 | Oh, yes,he said, and pointing to a little group of men, who were round a wee bit of a fire;"there he is, do n''t you know him?" |
32246 | Say, got time ter get on''ter the waggin an go over to my farm and see him, take dinner with me? 32246 Too small?" |
32246 | Well, how did you get it, anyway? |
32246 | What are you doing with my chickens, you good- for- nothing Yankee thief? |
32246 | What dew yer want for''em? |
32246 | What kind of a horse? |
32246 | What the h-- l should I be afraid of? |
32246 | What time is it, Pod? |
32246 | What''s that firin I hear? 32246 What?" |
32246 | Why, ai n''t the watch going? |
32246 | Why, thar been''t more''n a thousan''thar, be thar? |
32246 | You do, eh? |
32246 | You want a harness and waggin too, do n''t yer? |
32246 | You''gorramed''little cuss, why do n''t you salute me? |
32246 | Ai n''t no rebs''round yere, be thar?" |
32246 | And then divining the truth, he exclaimed:"Gor- ram it, did you sell the watch for that pie?" |
32246 | As I went in, the lieutenant turned to me with a quizzical smile on his face:"Young man, you told me you were a printer?" |
32246 | Blue? |
32246 | Ca n''t you steal one?" |
32246 | Did you bring the merlasses, and candles, and the broom?" |
32246 | Do you think I will?" |
32246 | Figured up what the whole thing cost me: The horse stood me$ 33.50, the"gig"$ 7.50, and the harness,(?) |
32246 | He asked, what I was? |
32246 | I asked him if he knew where my brother was-- Charley Ulmer? |
32246 | I asked the first man I came to where the Eighth Maine was? |
32246 | I could n''t speak, I could n''t move, till one of them said,"Good evening, sar; got anything to eat?" |
32246 | I had just nicely covered it up when my friend returned and asked:"What YOU been diggin''for thar-- them durned things too? |
32246 | I sang out:"It was n''t their fault; what are you blaming them for?" |
32246 | I say, Mister, whar''s your Comp''ny?" |
32246 | In a moment a little, bright, bustling old woman came to the door and shading her eyes with her apron, called back:"What is it, Dan''l? |
32246 | Is it correct?" |
32246 | K.''this job?" |
32246 | Oh George, George, why did you come here?" |
32246 | The colonel said,"Is that all you want? |
32246 | Wall, I''d like purty well ter have them poles, but--,"as if a sudden idea had struck him,--"Don''t want ter trade fur a horse, dew yer?" |
32246 | What do you mean?" |
32246 | What if I had, in my bewilderment, run into the rebel lines? |
32246 | What in h-- l is the good of a man without hands?" |
32246 | What will my poor mother say? |
32246 | What will my poor mother say? |
32246 | What would I do? |
32246 | What you been doin'', playing with one of those d-- d shells, too?" |
32246 | What you laughing at? |
32246 | What''ll yer take fur the hull lot?" |
32246 | What''s your cargo?" |
32246 | Where? |
32246 | Why did n''t you try and get two?" |
32246 | Why do n''t you salute me? |
32246 | Why, do you know he''s trotted in two minutes? |
32246 | You been''t Phil''s son, be yer?" |
32246 | You do n''t think thar''s any danger of them grey- coats disturbing me, do you? |
32246 | at the same time hitting the oxen over their noses with his goad- stick, and resting on the yoke, he asked,"What yer goin''ter dew with them poles?" |
32246 | he said,"ai n''t there some way? |
32246 | how do you spell business?" |
32246 | sticking his hands in either breeches pocket and taking me in from head to foot with a comprehensive glance,"What might yer name be?" |
32246 | what yer givin''me? |
46823 | Missing so many officers, he added:"Where are your officers-- all wounded or dead?" |
31332 | I say, may I come and call on you when we get back to England? |
31332 | No wounded? 31332 What are you doing with Miss----? |
31332 | _ Je veux continuer._ Do you by any chance imagine we''re_ afraid_? |
31332 | ''Pretty warm, ai n''t it?'' |
31332 | ("Stood fire, have they? |
31332 | About midnight[?] |
31332 | All night there has been a sound of the firing of machine guns[?]. |
31332 | Among the refugees? |
31332 | And at last you turn in a righteous indignation and say:"Where is the bombardment?" |
31332 | And if it comes to a toss- up between his women and his wounded? |
31332 | And if it comes to that-- how about Alost? |
31332 | And if_ I_ feel it, what must Mrs. Torrence and Janet feel? |
31332 | And in the end I asked him whether it would bore the wounded frightfully if I took them some cigarettes? |
31332 | And over and over again he asks me,"Do you mind?" |
31332 | And somebody standing beside you says:"_ C''est triste, n''est- ce pas?_"You can not look any more. |
31332 | And the faces of the soldiers, of the men who know? |
31332 | And where are the forts, then? |
31332 | As I come and go they smile at me with the patient Belgian smile that says,"_ C''est triste, n''est- ce pas?_"and no more. |
31332 | But did he? |
31332 | But why is there no Victoria Cross for moral courage? |
31332 | But why little Janet McNeil? |
31332 | C''est triste, n''est- ce pas, Mademoiselle?_"And you say,"_ Oui, Mademoiselle. |
31332 | Call yourself a field ambulance? |
31332 | Can I find a place for her on one of our ambulance cars? |
31332 | Can it be that I was jealous of Ursula Dearmer, that innocent girl, because she saw a shell burst and I did n''t? |
31332 | Do you want any more of them to die? |
31332 | Does M.---- really believe in the advance of the ten thousand? |
31332 | Five out of these fourteen are women, and what the devil are they doing in a field ambulance?" |
31332 | For one thrilling moment I imagined that the Germans were about to leap out of their trenches and rush the village, and that the Belgians[? |
31332 | How_ can_ there be in an ambulance packed with wounded men? |
31332 | I say:"You see, Tom, it would n''t do to leave that lady and three British wounded behind, would it?" |
31332 | I wonder how much of all this will be left by next month, or even by next week? |
31332 | Is it dreamy innocence? |
31332 | Is it obstinacy? |
31332 | Is it possible that I am enjoying myself? |
31332 | Is it possible that he knew me better than I knew myself? |
31332 | Is it the New Chivalry, that refuses to keep women back, even from the firing- line? |
31332 | Is it uncanniness? |
31332 | It is all over as if it had never been, but how can I tell that it wo n''t come back again? |
31332 | It is as if he said,"Of course, if you''re_ afraid_"--(haven''t I told him that I_ am_ afraid?). |
31332 | Just outside the bombarded hamlet ahead of us we were stopped by some Belgian[? |
31332 | Mrs. Torrence asked them,"What will you do for us if we are taken prisoner?" |
31332 | Namur and Liége and Brussels, if you like, and Malines, and Louvain, and Termonde and Antwerp( perhaps); but Ghent-- why should they? |
31332 | Once, when I thought he had gone to sleep, I heard him begin again:"Where did you say you lived?" |
31332 | Or is it some gorgeous streak of Feminism? |
31332 | The Belgian[? |
31332 | The British wounded from two[?] |
31332 | The New Romance, that gives them their share of divine danger? |
31332 | The men and the women crawled on their hands and knees in the trenches[? |
31332 | The outer forts? |
31332 | The sound came from somewhere over there and from two quarters; German guns booming away on the south, Belgian[? |
31332 | The trenches[?] |
31332 | Then will I take her to Bruges? |
31332 | They had not that terrible look that Mr. Davidson told me he saw on the faces of Belgians in retreat from[?] |
31332 | They have turned their left[?] |
31332 | They said we were only a hundred[?] |
31332 | They say that Miss Ashley- Smith and her British wounded shall be ready before[?] |
31332 | Tom''s nerves are racked with problems: How the dickens is he to steer his car and protect his women at the same time? |
31332 | What can the Military Power be thinking of? |
31332 | Where the houses ended, a stretch of white road ran up for about[?] |
31332 | Which of us can say that when our turn comes the thought of danger will not spoil our breakfast? |
31332 | Will I take her back to England? |
31332 | Work? |
31332 | You might wonder how, for all social purposes, we are to sort ourselves? |
31332 | You''re not going to carry her off?" |
31332 | [?] |
31332 | _ Why_ did he try to scare us so? |
38418 | MAJOR- GENERAL GEORGE B. MCCLELLAN:When may we expect General Reynolds here? |
38418 | [ 25] Before General McLaws found me, I wrote General Smith,--Can you reinforce me? |
38418 | After a time we were challenged by an outlying guard,"Who comes there?" |
38418 | As we passed these officers, the one with the peculiar hat called out in a loud voice,--"''What troops are those?'' |
38418 | But that is not the question, colonel; the question is,"Is it right to surrender this army?" |
38418 | Ca n''t you apply this idea to advantage on your side on the roads that General Grant will be obliged to travel if he goes to Burkeville? |
38418 | Can we do anything to aid your movements? |
38418 | Can you not occupy your leisure time in preparing your memoirs of the war? |
38418 | Can you row the boat ashore, Without paddle or an oar, Billy boy?" |
38418 | Davis(? |
38418 | Do you know any reliable people, living near and east of Knoxville, from whom I might get information of the condition, strength, etc., of the enemy? |
38418 | During my last visit he seemed more concerned for me than usual, and on one of his calls asked,--"Marse Jim, do you belong to any church?" |
38418 | Ernst Poth(? |
38418 | General Field inquired of a passing officer,"What''s up?" |
38418 | General Lee exclaimed,''Where is Anderson? |
38418 | Has there been any movement in that direction by our troops? |
38418 | Have you any maps that you can give or lend me? |
38418 | I inquired,"Did General Johnston send you to communicate that order?" |
38418 | If the enemy has been beaten at Chattanooga, do we not gain by delay at this point? |
38418 | If we have been defeated at Chattanooga, do we not risk our entire force by an assault here? |
38418 | In preparing to take the field, in view of the abandonment of Richmond, is it your desire to keep our wagons about our camps that we may move at once? |
38418 | Pickett said,"General, shall I advance?" |
38418 | Said one,''Oh, general, what will history say of the surrender of the army in the field?'' |
38418 | Shall we continue to send them or keep them with us?... |
38418 | Should we hesitate, then, about putting a few who have made immense fortunes at our expense to a little inconvenience by impressing their gold? |
38418 | The commander asked,"What troops are these?" |
38418 | Then turning to me, he said,''General Mahone, I have no other troops, will you take your division to Sailor''s Creek?'' |
38418 | Where is Ewell? |
38418 | Will you please keep those people back?'' |
38418 | Will you send my letter to General Grant, and arrange with General Ord for the interview? |
38418 | has the army dissolved?'' |
38418 | said one of my companions,"have n''t the keows come up?" |
38418 | why did you do so?" |
36292 | Are them your mules? 36292 Do you remember how Lieutenant Baxter and Sergeant Dobbs got those seventy- sevens by outflanking and surprising them?" |
36292 | Exercise, is it, sir? 36292 Get back in time all right?" |
36292 | My lord, Major, why are n''t you the Seventh Field Artillery? |
36292 | Qui est la? |
36292 | See your family? |
36292 | Sergeant Murphy? |
36292 | Sir,asked Johnson,"when do we hit''em?" |
36292 | Sor- r? |
36292 | What are you doing here? 36292 What is it, Bill?" |
36292 | What is it, sergeant, are n''t you getting enough exercise? |
36292 | What was it you said? |
36292 | When, sir? |
36292 | Why not try Roosevelt? |
36292 | Why should you go rather than me? |
36292 | After Donovan had gone, the Frenchman remarked to me,"Buffalo is very wild, is it not?" |
36292 | After talking for a half an hour he would ask confidentially,"Major, what is a switch line?" |
36292 | An officer who talked with these men on their return said that conversations ran much like this:"Cipiloni, have a fine time on your leave?" |
36292 | And what did ye look, they should compass? |
36292 | Can you get the food forward to them? |
36292 | Can you get the food to them hot? |
36292 | Did n''t I tell you to stay with the kitchens?" |
36292 | Hannibal is not there? |
36292 | He challenged,"Who is there?" |
36292 | He described to me on his return how on the way down all the men would talk about was:"Do you remember how we got that machine- gun nest? |
36292 | He explained,"But it is the place where you hunt that great animal, is it not?" |
36292 | How did they impress each other? |
36292 | How heavy is the gassing to be? |
36292 | How quickly will the wind carry it away? |
36292 | I bowed to the girdle and said,"Will they come in?" |
36292 | I knew him to be a good sort and said to him,"What is the matter, how did this come about?" |
36292 | I said to him,"Captain, where is your company?" |
36292 | I said,"Had n''t you better go to the first aid, sergeant?" |
36292 | Lieutenant Van, my supply officer, would reply from the other side,"Hello, hello, is this the King of Essex talking?" |
36292 | Now that the work of fighting was over, uppermost in everyone''s mind was the thought,"When do we get home?" |
36292 | One lieutenant called out to me,"How far have you gone?" |
36292 | One man asked in all solemnity once,"Does blood rust steel more than water?" |
36292 | The Yankee in the British Zone By Captain Ewen C. MacVeagh and Lieutenant Lee D. Brown How did Tommy Atkins and the Yank get on? |
36292 | The conversation would be something like this:"What is light artillery?" |
36292 | The men got so they thought a good deal of it, and frequently when marching through towns the troops would call out,"How about that band?" |
36292 | The question now is, what''s up? |
36292 | The question was so intelligent and so well thought out that the lieutenant said to him:"What were you before the war?" |
36292 | Warcraft learned in a breath, Knowledge unto occasion At the first far view of death?" |
36292 | Well, what do you mean by leaving them loose by the road? |
36292 | What did they learn about each other? |
36292 | What has happened? |
36292 | What is it? |
36292 | Where are you going with those mules?" |
35403 | ''Sale bête''? 35403 ''When will the war end?'' |
35403 | And when do they think that will come? |
35403 | Anything I can do to help you? |
35403 | Are n''t you frightened? |
35403 | Are you not afraid of being called barbarians for ever? |
35403 | Big fellows? |
35403 | Do n''t your gunners get worn out? |
35403 | Do you mean up to the neck? |
35403 | Do you speak English? |
35403 | How about the children? |
35403 | How shall I get in? |
35403 | How''s it going? |
35403 | Neither side will win,said one of them,"but who will stop it? |
35403 | The Germans asked constantly,''When do you think the war will end?'' 35403 They are frightened-- the little ones?" |
35403 | What about America? |
35403 | What are we going to do about that? |
35403 | What are you doing with that poor brute? |
35403 | What are you doing with those men? |
35403 | What can one do? 35403 What do you think of it all?" |
35403 | What do you think of our men? |
35403 | What''s that? |
35403 | When are they coming? |
35403 | When do you think the war will end? |
35403 | Where is your revolver? |
35403 | Why do you go? |
35403 | Why do you stay here? |
35403 | Why do you stay in such a place? |
35403 | Why is n''t there a proper escort? |
35403 | Will there ever be peace? |
35403 | Wounded? |
35403 | ("How are you getting on?") |
35403 | A friendly voice spoke to him and said,"Wie gehts mit Ihnen?" |
35403 | After many pleadings he came to his squadron commander at night in his pyjamas and said,"Look here, sir, ca n''t I go?" |
35403 | Bill?" |
35403 | But if those were not his men, where were they? |
35403 | Do you look for anything?" |
35403 | Does the enemy know that he must win or lose all? |
35403 | How can one explain? |
35403 | How can one write of these things? |
35403 | How can they escape?" |
35403 | How could our airmen see? |
35403 | How did we have any success to- day when even the most optimistic men were preyed upon last night by horrid doubts? |
35403 | How did you get here so quickly?" |
35403 | How was this thing done? |
35403 | I spoke to them sometimes and said,''Is that you, Alf?'' |
35403 | Is it the last phase of the war? |
35403 | My mamma keeps living here, so how can I go away? |
35403 | One of my companions in a shell- hole looked up and said:"Is the''good old German God''at work again?" |
35403 | She repeated the words, and called him a monster, and at last the man spoke in a shamed way and said:"Que voulez- vous? |
35403 | Some hole, what?" |
35403 | Supposing the enemy were to come back in force? |
35403 | The German doctors said,"Have you any wounded we can help? |
35403 | What did she think of that? |
35403 | What is Passchendaele? |
35403 | Who knows what to make of them? |
35403 | Why has he abandoned such formidable strongholds? |
35403 | William offers peace, you say? |
46757 | A lady said to me recently:"Why, the engineers are in no danger, they do n''t go into the trenches, do they?" |
46757 | For is not_ every one_ called upon to do_ his_ share for humanity and freedom? |
46757 | What real man could fail to feel the grip of this war? |
46757 | Who would hesitate to show in a practical way the thoughts and ideals for which America stands? |
43649 | But when will the advance begin? |
43649 | I can only barely see their trench over the top of your first- line trench, so how could they possibly see me from there? |
43649 | That''s the German front line, I suppose? |
43649 | The Captain says,''Are you all ready?'' |
43649 | What was it-- a 75? |
43649 | What''s that? |
43649 | Why did not Von Kluck march on Paris when he had the chance? |
43649 | You''ve got a whole battery shooting, have n''t you? |
43649 | And yet the question will not be smothered: Is she doing all that is called for by a strong, far- seeing nation''s duty to itself? |
43649 | Can England, in fine, afford to preserve Personal Liberty at the slightest risk of imperilling National Liberty? |
43649 | Can a really proud nation afford to base its career at such a time upon the charity of its citizens? |
43649 | I suppose there will be no opportunity to see them?" |
43649 | It does not waste time in firing, does it?" |
43649 | Well, then, could we not return early to- morrow morning to get the flight? |
43649 | Would I? |
11947 | And have they gone, Amélie? |
11947 | And why does madame laugh? |
11947 | And you do n''t do anything to prevent them? |
11947 | But what do they do, Joseph? |
11947 | But what do you do up there? |
11947 | But why? |
11947 | But why? |
11947 | But,I said,"you are a French Canadian?" |
11947 | Did n''t you hear my whistle? |
11947 | Do n''t you know enough to uncover before the flag for which your fellow citizens are dying every day? |
11947 | Have n''t you any home in America? |
11947 | How does one get in, since you keep your door locked? |
11947 | How long are you going to stay there? |
11947 | How long have you lived here? |
11947 | Journaliste? |
11947 | Live here? |
11947 | Peace? |
11947 | Regular army? |
11947 | The what? |
11947 | Vous êtes une femme de lettres? |
11947 | Well, Joseph,I asked,"have you seen a Boche yet?" |
11947 | Well,I replied,"I am only wondering if that is your battle array?" |
11947 | Well,I said,"if you are an American citizen, what are you doing here, in a French uniform? |
11947 | What can we do, madame? |
11947 | What''s the matter? |
11947 | What''s the matter? |
11947 | Where is she? |
11947 | Where is that? |
11947 | Where? 11947 Why could n''t you?" |
11947 | Why did n''t you drive into the stable as usual? |
11947 | Why do n''t you go home? |
11947 | Why do you remain here in war- time? |
11947 | Why does it surprise you? |
11947 | You have no domestic? |
11947 | And with three big bridges to build? |
11947 | Are n''t you more and more surprised at them?" |
11947 | As for Huiry? |
11947 | But what of that? |
11947 | But what of that? |
11947 | But what? |
11947 | Can you wonder we are anxious? |
11947 | Could n''t you go on a lark without telling the Captain about it, and getting us all into trouble?" |
11947 | Did n''t you always think a cat hated water? |
11947 | Did you ever burn green wood? |
11947 | Did you ever drink cider like that? |
11947 | Do you ever wonder what the poets of the future will do with this war? |
11947 | Do you know that it is not until now that I have had a passport from my own country? |
11947 | Do you know what struck me most forcibly? |
11947 | Do you know,--it is absurd-- I have not had a cold this winter, either? |
11947 | Do you realize that these are the soldiers in the ranks of the French defence? |
11947 | Do you remember how amused I was when I saw the Aspirant equipped for his march in January? |
11947 | Do you remember how glibly we talked of the"Russian steam- roller,"in September, 1914? |
11947 | Do you remember that I told you some time ago about Louise''s brother, Joseph, in the heavy artillery, who had never seen a Boche? |
11947 | Do you wonder that I want to hibernate? |
11947 | Does it never occur to you that France held her head up wonderfully after the terrible humiliation of 1870? |
11947 | Does n''t it all make your blood flow fast? |
11947 | Does n''t it seem to prove that had Germany fought an honest war she could never have invaded France? |
11947 | Ever since I began to see so much of the army, I have asked myself more than once,"Where are the fils de famille"? |
11947 | Finally I said:"What does he want, Amélie? |
11947 | For example-- wouldn''t it seem logical that such a warfare would brutalize the men who are actually in it? |
11947 | Forbidden subject? |
11947 | Forget it, and we''ll talk of other things, and, to take a big jump-- Did you ever keep cats? |
11947 | He comes down the stairs as stiff as a ramrod, lifts his gloved hand to his kepi, as he says,"Bon jour, madame, vous allez bien ce matin?" |
11947 | He ran into the road and hailed it, and as the chauffeur put on his brakes, he called:"Et Verdun?" |
11947 | He struck a blow on his forehead with his fist, and cried:"My God, lady, did I understand that you have been here ever since the war began? |
11947 | He turned his big brown eyes, on me, and replied:"I, madame? |
11947 | How does that sound to you? |
11947 | I asked her what they would do then-- lie down and let the Germans ride over them? |
11947 | I asked the chauffeur:"What village is that over there?" |
11947 | I asked, of course,"What regiment?" |
11947 | I could not help laughing, but I ventured to ask:"Well, my lad, what would you have done if it had been France and the States?" |
11947 | I happened to be standing where I could see over the hedge, but before I could get out the stupid question,"What was that?" |
11947 | I have not always had an orchestra stall, but what of that? |
11947 | I said to him:"Well, Joseph, where did you come from this time?" |
11947 | I said:"Why, good morning, Khaki, did mother make him stay out all night? |
11947 | I waited where I was until she came back, crying breathlessly, long before she reached me:"Oh, madame, what do you think? |
11947 | I was heart- broken, but Père only shrugged his shoulders and remarked:"If one will live on the top of a hill facing the north what can one expect?" |
11947 | I wonder if that was not the sort of thing which, if told in the confessional in ancient times, got one convicted of being"possessed of the devil"? |
11947 | I wonder if the German books on military tactics use that escape as a model in their military schools? |
11947 | I wonder if the Kaiser has yet waked up to a realization of his one very great achievement-- the reawakening of Greater Britain? |
11947 | I wonder if you take it in? |
11947 | I wonder what the Germans will do with him if they catch him again? |
11947 | In the course of the conversation she said, what was self- evident,"You are not French?" |
11947 | Is n''t it a sort of poetic justice to think that it is even possible that had Germany fought an honorable war she might have got to Paris? |
11947 | Is n''t it wonderful? |
11947 | Is n''t that Shakesperian? |
11947 | Is n''t that a calm way to state such a trying experience as that retreat? |
11947 | Is n''t that nice? |
11947 | Is n''t that pretty quick work? |
11947 | Is n''t the naturalization question delicate? |
11947 | It does seem a far cry from this to war, does n''t it? |
11947 | It is also a serious question--? |
11947 | It is not the first time I have had to ask myself, seriously,"Why this mania for possession?" |
11947 | My God, lady, you do n''t think I''d see France attacked by Germany and not take a hand in the fight, do you? |
11947 | Now did you know that there were such things today as"Children of the Regiment"? |
11947 | Now if I lose that one, what have I to live for? |
11947 | Perhaps I did not tell you that I was up there for a few days the first of the month? |
11947 | So I smiled back and asked him, in that case, if it were not too indiscreet-- what he did to kill time? |
11947 | So what can I do? |
11947 | So why should I try to write to you of things which I do not see, and of which only the last, faint, dying ripples reach us here? |
11947 | That seemed to strike him as a very suspicious date, and he stared at me hard for a moment before he went on:"What for?" |
11947 | Then he pointed to the flag, and, clearing his throat, said:"You aire an Américaine?" |
11947 | Then you were here during the battle out there? |
11947 | They waited until I shut the case, and replaced it in my bag-- and then:"You live alone?" |
11947 | To that his only reply was:"Your name?" |
11947 | Wait for the commissary department to find us? |
11947 | Was n''t I well enough off where I was, toasting myself before your nice fire, and drinking my tea comfortably every afternoon? |
11947 | Well, how do you do, anyway?" |
11947 | Were we after all going to be turned back? |
11947 | What do cats, who will not eat soup, eat?" |
11947 | What do you suppose that Peppino and I are going to do after a battle? |
11947 | What would we do otherwise? |
11947 | When they saw me, one of them said sharply, without the slightest salute:"There is no bell?" |
11947 | Where is the good of wishing a bad harvest on Germany, when we get it ourselves at the same time? |
11947 | Who told you that?" |
11947 | Who will sing the destruction of the Royal Scots, two weeks later, in the battle of Ypres? |
11947 | Who will sing the great chant in honor of the 100,000 who held Ypres against half a million, and locked the door to the Channel? |
11947 | Why are n''t the middle- aged sent first-- the men who have partly lived their lives, who leave children to continue the race?" |
11947 | Would you ever have believed that I could keep out of the theatre such a long time as that? |
11947 | X March 23, 1915 Can it be possible that it is two months since I wrote to you? |
11947 | XXXV February 26, 1917 What do you suppose I have done since I last wrote to you? |
11947 | Yet is n''t it lucky to know and to see that these boys can come out of such a battle as Verdun in this condition? |
11947 | You remember the tea- party I had for the boys in our ambulance in June? |
11947 | You remember the young English officer who had marched around me in September of last year, during the days preceding the battle of the Marne? |
11947 | and"What are they coming for?" |
16355 | ''E''s a sure Blighty, ai n''t''e? |
16355 | ''Ere, what yer doin''of? |
16355 | ''They''re not going to shoot me?'' 16355 Any Huns amongst them?" |
16355 | Any news? |
16355 | Anybody else hit? |
16355 | Are we still receiving? |
16355 | But that was jolly sporting of him, was n''t it? |
16355 | Chatty[ lousy] are yer? |
16355 | D''yer think''e would n''t bomb a C.C.S.? |
16355 | D''you refuse to obey the order? 16355 D''you see what you''ve done?" |
16355 | Did you ever see him? |
16355 | Did you see anything of the Russians in 1914? |
16355 | Do n''t talk bloody sentimental rot-- call yourself a soldier? 16355 Got a Blighty?" |
16355 | How much do you bet? |
16355 | I wonder how much longer this is going to last? |
16355 | Is it a task job? |
16355 | Is it serious? |
16355 | Is that what they took out o''yer arm? |
16355 | Is this a Hun or a gentleman? |
16355 | Such a delightful tummy, is n''t it? |
16355 | They''ve got the day off, have they? 16355 Time yet, Sergeant?" |
16355 | Was für''n Zweck hat es-- What''s the good of shooting each other like this? 16355 Wha'', ai n''t it''ah''-past five?" |
16355 | Wha''if I did? |
16355 | What are you grumbling about? 16355 What did they make us bring our shovels for?" |
16355 | What sort of a day did you have? |
16355 | What sort of a time have you had? |
16355 | What yer doin''there? 16355 What''s it got ter do wi''you?" |
16355 | What''s the matter with you, are you deaf? 16355 Where were you wounded?" |
16355 | Who gave you permission? |
16355 | Who says so? 16355 Who''s Hartley? |
16355 | Why d''yer let''em swing it on yer? 16355 Why didn''yer tell us it was a task job? |
16355 | Why do n''t yer mind yer own bleed''n''business? 16355 Why do n''t you complain to the Town Major?" |
16355 | Yer not goin''ter take orf me arm, are yer, sir? |
16355 | Yer wo n''t''urt me, sir, will yer? |
16355 | ''E never washes and never changes''is clothes, so what can yer expect?" |
16355 | ''Oo told you to interfere? |
16355 | ''s away from dumps an''railways? |
16355 | A deadlock ensued and then a Sergeant came up with"What''s the matter now? |
16355 | A good job, too, for that''s one thing I absolutely can not stick, the way all our letters are read...."I hear you''ve had some excitement? |
16355 | A sudden fear seized me-- could last night''s celebrations have been the result of a false alarm? |
16355 | A voice, mocking such a naïve questioner, answered:"Do n''t yer know the army be now?" |
16355 | An''if we''re bloody fools an''leave the lights on at night,''ow can''e tell what''s what when everything''s mixed up together? |
16355 | An''what''s it all for? |
16355 | An''what_ d''you_ know about it? |
16355 | And after all, why should they care? |
16355 | And at the end of the fortnight? |
16355 | And the civvies-- gorblimy-- when I was''ome on leave they kep''on arstin''me,''Ai n''t yer wounded yet?'' |
16355 | And then, what would we do then? |
16355 | And would the little village be the same as when I saw it last? |
16355 | And yet what else could we think about? |
16355 | But d''you think the civvies or the papers admit it? |
16355 | But why not desert? |
16355 | Ca n''t yer understand English, damn yer?" |
16355 | Call yerselves sportsmen, do yer? |
16355 | Course''e makes mistakes sometimes like anybody else--''ow do''e know it''s a C.C.S.--''e ca n''t see no Red Crorss at night?" |
16355 | D''yer think I''m goin''ter stand over yer all day? |
16355 | D''you want to sleep all day?" |
16355 | Did n''t yer see it in the papers? |
16355 | Did you see it in print?" |
16355 | Do n''t yer know there''s a war on? |
16355 | For the one who was killed?... |
16355 | Had I heard the news? |
16355 | Had the Germans assembled all their strength for one supreme attempt at breaking through the Western Front? |
16355 | Have many been dropping in the town recently?" |
16355 | He was inspecting us and when he came to Peter he shouted,''Why have n''t you cleaned your boottons?'' |
16355 | Here, Marie, bring us another two cups-- der coop der caffay-- that''s right, is n''t it?" |
16355 | How can it weigh more heavily on any man or set of men than those on this bench?" |
16355 | How could I answer that question? |
16355 | How could it be otherwise? |
16355 | How many hours were there in a fortnight? |
16355 | How many more days of drill would we have to endure? |
16355 | How would our feelings find an outlet? |
16355 | Hyndman could still hear him, so he walked up to him and shouted,''What the bloody''ell''s the matter wi''yer?'' |
16355 | Hyndman got his rag out and yelled,''Stop talkin''there, will yer?'' |
16355 | IV THE CASUALTY CLEARING STATION"For who feels the horrors of war more than those who are responsible for its conduct? |
16355 | I_ would_ enjoy the immediate present-- was I not losing hours of sheer pleasure by harbouring these thoughts and ignoring the beauty of the day? |
16355 | If he were to rise from his grave, would he think the loss''insignificant''? |
16355 | Is he God Almighty? |
16355 | It would be interesting to know for whom these losses are insignificant? |
16355 | It would come to an end some day, and I would leave the army, but would not the war obsess me until the end of my life? |
16355 | Most of them were asleep, but one was tossing about and crying in piteous tones:"Hab''ich noch''n Arm, oder hab''ich keinen?" |
16355 | On whom does the burden of blood and treasure weigh most heavily? |
16355 | One of the officers asked:"What about our coffee?" |
16355 | Or was it only the beginning of a whole series of operations? |
16355 | Shouting, singing, dancing, would they give us relief? |
16355 | Sometimes I asked myself in a puzzled manner:"Have I really been home on leave?" |
16355 | Suddenly he asked:"Do n''t yer want it, mate?" |
16355 | Suddenly he perceived me and asked:"What are you doing here?" |
16355 | Swingin''it on yer mates, are yer? |
16355 | Swingin''the lead?" |
16355 | That''s got yer, ai n''t it?" |
16355 | The Sergeant asked:"Where''s Private Hartley?" |
16355 | The Sergeant swung round and bellowed-- he was really angry this time:"What''s the matter wi''yer? |
16355 | The Sergeant- Major suddenly observed them, blew his whistle and shouted angrily:"Stand still there-------- d''you hear? |
16355 | The booing changed into loud, ironical cheers:"What yer bin doin''all day? |
16355 | Then I would knock at the door and I would be welcomed by an old peasant woman, and she would ask:"Tu viens en perme?" |
16355 | Then one of us said:"What''s that funny noise?" |
16355 | Then suddenly he wailed:"Kamerad, sag mir doch-- Comrade, tell me-- is my arm still there, or is it gone?" |
16355 | Then there''s the''eads what''as servants to wait on''em-- d''yer think French or Duggie''Aig ever''as shells burstin''round''em? |
16355 | There was an embarrassing pause, and then he thundered:"Bloody lot o''fools-- gorne to sleep''ave yer? |
16355 | They were not human at all-- or was it I who was not human? |
16355 | They were tortured by anxiety:"Les Allemands vont venir ici-- de Shermans come heer?" |
16355 | Throughout the winter one question above all others was discussed by the few who took an interest in the war:"What were the Germans going to do?" |
16355 | Vat''s de use fighting? |
16355 | Vat''s de use punish zem if ve get nussing? |
16355 | We call ourselves sportsmen, but have we ever recognized that we got a brave enemy? |
16355 | What d''they want ter drag_ us_ out''ere for ter do their dirty work for''em? |
16355 | What d''you think you''re here for?" |
16355 | What has the Armistice got to do with us? |
16355 | What would actual warfare be like? |
16355 | What''s the matter?" |
16355 | What''s the use o''lettin''good stuff go west? |
16355 | Who''s in charge of the party?" |
16355 | Why are n''t you on parade in time? |
16355 | Why did not every object fill me with delight? |
16355 | Why do n''t the''eads come an''bloody well fight it out amongst theirselves-- why do n''t King George''ave a go wi''Kaiser Bill? |
16355 | Why do n''t they stick''em right in the fields somewhere? |
16355 | Why do n''t you leave them alone?" |
16355 | Why not enjoy a week, a fortnight, a month of freedom? |
16355 | Why not escape to the south of France? |
16355 | Why was I not full of rapture? |
16355 | Why were British soldiers allowed to steal the buttons, caps, rings, and watches belonging to their prisoners? |
16355 | Would I ever be myself again? |
16355 | Would I ever escape from the war? |
16355 | Would the Germans reach the coast? |
16355 | Would the fine weather never end? |
16355 | Would they be numerically equal or superior to the Allies on the Western Front? |
16355 | Would we be involved in the advance? |
16355 | You know Deacon? |
16355 | an''''When are yer goin''back?'' |
16355 | said to our Sergeant:"Where''ve these men come from?" |
16355 | spotted him, and shouted,''What are you grinning at-- anything foonny?'' |
29313 | ''How many have you got?'' 29313 ''What regiment do you belong to?'' |
29313 | ''You''ve heard about the orders against marauding, eh?'' 29313 How are you, mud?" |
29313 | How d''ye like Virginny woods, Yank? |
29313 | How far, General? |
29313 | How many men have you? |
29313 | Say, Yank, if I send you over a boat- load of''backy,''will ye send her back filled with coffee? |
29313 | What will you do that for? 29313 Where is your letter, sir?" |
29313 | Why do n''t you''uns come over? |
29313 | Young man,said he, with a supercilious air,"what might your business be?" |
29313 | Your knowledge of the duties of officer of the day is somewhat limited? |
29313 | After forty years, what would I take for that association with all its dangers and hardships? |
29313 | Amidst all these joyous reunions, were there no shadows? |
29313 | And the others? |
29313 | And then they sang to us:"Ai n''t ye mighty glad to get out the wilderness?" |
29313 | Being apparently reassured by my reply, he continued in a less peremptory tone,"Who ordered that line? |
29313 | But did it stir their blood? |
29313 | Can we who know of it only as we read appreciate such a home- coming? |
29313 | Could order ever be gotten out of it? |
29313 | Could we do it and keep up our end? |
29313 | Did our"Ma''s know we were out?" |
29313 | Did that require nerve? |
29313 | Do n''t you see yonder line of rebels is flanking you?" |
29313 | Does Providence graciously look out for the tenderfoot? |
29313 | Eggs, gelatin, or other notions of civilization, for settling, were studiously(?) |
29313 | Had the left grand division vigorously performed its part in the earlier movement, can any one doubt the result? |
29313 | Have n''t you had enough of the reveille here?" |
29313 | Here is Colonel Wilson''s account of the colloquy that ensued:"Who are you, sir? |
29313 | How can words describe the scene? |
29313 | How did I know so much about them? |
29313 | How did we ordinarily get our laundrying done? |
29313 | How does one feel under such conditions? |
29313 | How far out is it?" |
29313 | How shall I describe the experiences of that night''s tramp? |
29313 | How was our coffee made? |
29313 | How, then, did I come in possession of its main features, so as to note them in my diary at the time? |
29313 | I asked,"How was that?" |
29313 | If I was"hot,"what shall be said of him? |
29313 | If a reply was not forthcoming, a nagging ejaculation, calculated to provoke, would follow, such as,"What''s the matter, Yank, are ye deaf?" |
29313 | Is the theory of a misunderstanding of orders tenable? |
29313 | Need I say that, joyous as was our home- going, there was more than a pang at the bottom of our hearts as we severed those heroic associations? |
29313 | Now how was the plan carried out? |
29313 | Now, as I close this narrative, shall I speak of the gala day of our home- coming? |
29313 | Now, why did the left grand division fail to make the attack as ordered? |
29313 | Now, why this period of inactivity whilst Sedgwick was being punished? |
29313 | Only a fifth of them left? |
29313 | Otherwise, why did he attack at all? |
29313 | Personal fear? |
29313 | Pretty expensive fuel? |
29313 | Ran up against man, who grabbed me by the collar, and demanded''what are you doing here?'' |
29313 | See him behind that bush?" |
29313 | Seeing me, he stopped his horse and exclaimed,"Adjutant, where is my division? |
29313 | Should we continue the advance or retire and get further orders? |
29313 | The carol of birds in the midst of the blackest thunder- storm? |
29313 | The colonel called out,"What''s the matter with the bass drum?" |
29313 | The officer had by that time recovered himself sufficiently to ejaculate,"Who the h----l is that-- general?" |
29313 | The rebels were evidently interested observers of this mud march, for their pickets taunted ours with such questions as"How d''ye like Virginia mud?" |
29313 | To what may it be likened? |
29313 | Was it ever so dark, and did it ever rain harder? |
29313 | Was the new movement, then, to be in that direction? |
29313 | Was this little race, so short and gloriously won, prophetic of his life''s brief course? |
29313 | We marched very leisurely, making during the first four days only about twenty- five miles, to a village bearing the serious(?) |
29313 | Were these home treasures lost? |
29313 | Were you getting it ready to send to the hospital? |
29313 | What are you doing here?" |
29313 | What could I do? |
29313 | What did you come down here for? |
29313 | What for these pictures and memories? |
29313 | What in h----l do you want?" |
29313 | What is your business? |
29313 | What should I do? |
29313 | What were my sensations when hit? |
29313 | What were we going to do? |
29313 | What''s wanted?" |
29313 | Where do you belong? |
29313 | Where was our David? |
29313 | Where were we going? |
29313 | Who comes there?" |
29313 | Who''s there? |
29313 | Why do n''t we go forward?" |
29313 | Why fence rails or timbers were not placed under them as is usual? |
29313 | Why have n''t you sent us orders? |
29313 | Why this interregnum in the command? |
29313 | Will the time ever come when"the bitter shall not be mingled with the sweet"and tears of sorrow shall not drown the cup of gladness? |
29313 | You did n''t think you could whip us men of the South, did you?" |
29313 | a picnic? |
29313 | etc., etc., at the same time accepting(?) |
29313 | or a similar ejaculation, and then,"General Couch, why do you not assume command and order us forward? |
29313 | xxi., page 275:"I would also state that some cowardly members of a regiment unknown(?) |
27765 | And their men? |
27765 | Art thou weary, art thou langwidge? |
27765 | But to- day I leave the Army, shall I curse its service then? 27765 Er-- have you any-- er-- Keating''s powder?" |
27765 | Far flashed the red artillery,aye? |
27765 | Had he ever been to England? |
27765 | Hang it, have some more jam, old chap? |
27765 | Heah, give me the hammah,"Is n''t it awful? |
27765 | How far off is Pretoria? |
27765 | How far off is Pretoria? |
27765 | How far off is Pretoria? |
27765 | See that fellow? |
27765 | That''s a hymn, ai n''t it? |
27765 | Well, after all these long travels what are you going to do now? |
27765 | What Yeomanry? |
27765 | What am I going to do? |
27765 | What''s this chummy? |
27765 | Where did he hail from? |
27765 | Where''s my rifle an''hat? 27765 Where''s that beastly peg?" |
27765 | Who gave you permission to shoot this horse? |
27765 | Who said''C.I.V.s''? |
27765 | Wot''s it all about? |
27765 | ( Sussex Yeoman_ loq._) Did I ever use the bay''nit, sir? |
27765 | ( With apologies to the talented painter of"Who said''Rah''?")] |
27765 | A Fife friend tells me he now and again gets a large medicine bottle of-- well, what would it be for a Scotchman? |
27765 | After the day''s march, when the Infantry not on picket are in camp, a dark figure often slouches up our lines, and a voice inquires,"Is Pem''ere?" |
27765 | After tramping another two miles:"How far off is Pretoria?" |
27765 | And if we had n''t, what would we have done? |
27765 | And where, most of all, queries your enforced member of a Blue Ribbon Army-- where is the Wassail Bowl? |
27765 | And why? |
27765 | And, after all, what do you think the wily Boer bagged as the result of such a lovely death trap? |
27765 | Anyhow, what do they want with gwub? |
27765 | As I write this evening by candlelight, in our rude substitute for a tent, I can hear the chorus of"The miner''s( why not a yeoman''s?) |
27765 | As she ships it green on the old trail, our own trail, the home trail, As she lifts and''scends on the long trail-- the trail that is always new?" |
27765 | Bread was given away, cigars and cigarettes forced(?) |
27765 | But I was born to suffer, and was I not in hospital? |
27765 | But did I draw it in action? |
27765 | But now, what does the fully- fledged Imperial Yeoman do? |
27765 | But where were the tents, the men and horses that used to be? |
27765 | But, oh, where was my pipe, should I ever see it again? |
27765 | Chorus:"!!!??? |
27765 | Chorus:"!!!??? |
27765 | Chorus:"!!!??? |
27765 | Do n''t you salute an officer when you see one?" |
27765 | Does khaki fail, or martial bands? |
27765 | Does this sound Utopian? |
27765 | Field Hospital from our boots, but let not an abusive word be levelled at them, for are they not all honourable men? |
27765 | Good, is n''t it? |
27765 | Had they had any mails? |
27765 | Has it e''er drawn human blood? |
27765 | Have you used Pears''soap?" |
27765 | Having paraded and answered to our names, a doctor strolled down the ranks questioning us,"Are you all right?" |
27765 | His reply, as he told me, struck me as quaint and natural,"''Ow can I''old my''ands up?" |
27765 | How would you like to be awakened out of a comfortable sleep at 3 a.m. in the above manner? |
27765 | I wonder how the veterans of the Natal campaign, the gallant Irish Brigade, and others, will be received when they return? |
27765 | If you ask a British soldier,"How goes it?" |
27765 | If you could n''t stand discipline, what did you come out here for?" |
27765 | Imperial Bugs, The time grows heavy on our hands; Are the recruiting sergeants dead? |
27765 | It''s a hard Christmas Box for his poor people, is it not? |
27765 | Let''em''ave four biscuits a man; save the best for us-- don''t forget--"Kindred Spirit:"And the rum?" |
27765 | Men just in from patrol._ Man with bullet hole in hat:"Is tea up?" |
27765 | Near me, from under a rain- soaked blanket a sun- bronzed face appeared and a sleepy voice inquired"are the_ burchers_( burghers) shelling us?" |
27765 | Now I know for a fact that these persons will, on first meeting me, demand at once,"Have you brought any sets of surcharged Transvaal stamps back?" |
27765 | Oh, how did the point get blunted, sir? |
27765 | Only a few days ago I received amongst my mails a letter from my sister, who inquired,"How is your horse?" |
27765 | Presently the inevitable question"What''s the date?" |
27765 | So on I pushed, inquiring of everybody,"Where is the Farrier- Sergeant?" |
27765 | Sometimes a generous friend would confidentially ask,"Do you think they''ll let you start?" |
27765 | The next burning questions were"What boat will it be and when does she sail?" |
27765 | The rain ceasing after a while, the other fellows emerged like so many slugs, and soon under my supervision( was I not articled to an architect once?) |
27765 | Then that little tin soldier he sobbed and sighed, So I patted his little tin head,"What vexes your little tin soul?" |
27765 | Then, after another remark or so,"Seen much fighting?" |
27765 | Then, further on,"Have n''t the oats come on in that field?" |
27765 | Then, with cries of"Close the water- tight compartments,""Man the pumps,""Launch the lifeboat,""Where''s the rocket apparatus?" |
27765 | Then,"I wonder if they''ve got any fowls left in that shanty over there?" |
27765 | This order was obeyed reluctantly, then"Who are you?" |
27765 | To which my neighbour replied,"Do n''t you remember coming this way when we were leading those Argentine remounts?" |
27765 | Upon us, one by one, he pounced, this"brave, silent(?) |
27765 | We have all been like so many children at Christmas- time, asking one another"How many did you get?" |
27765 | We were dirty and unshaven, but it mattered not, we were monarchs(_ VÃ ¦ Victis!_) and was it not my birthday? |
27765 | What War?" |
27765 | When I do, I sez''I''m all right;''ow''s yerself?'' |
27765 | When you meet a man out here, usually the first question is"What sort of grub are you having?" |
27765 | Where is the prickly, red- berried holly? |
27765 | Where was it? |
27765 | Where was my pipe, should I get it all right? |
27765 | Where, too, the mistletoe with its pearly berries? |
27765 | Which one? |
27765 | Who will ever forget them? |
27765 | Why was n''t I wearing this article? |
27765 | You ask if it e''er took a life, sir? |
27765 | _ Apropos_:_ First Yeoman_:"I say, is this bully beef American?" |

27765 | and if I answer"Nay,"what will they think of me? |

27765 | in K._:"Is he on those kopjes, potting at us?" |
27765 | in K._:"Where is your brother?" |
27765 | in K._:"Where is your husband?" |
40973 | 63rd Ga."What are you doing here? |
40973 | Do you know where I saw you last? |
40973 | How far is the next house? |
40973 | Now shall I read? |
40973 | Well, General, what do you propose to do when you get home? |
40973 | What''s his full name? |
40973 | A messmate some distance away shouted back,"Ca n''t you wait till I finish washing my feet in it?" |
40973 | And now what has all this to do with the item I read in a Sunday school paper? |
40973 | And now what were my own sensations in this, my first baptism of fire? |
40973 | And what of the Oglethorpes? |
40973 | Are you going to keep a man standing out here in the cold all night?" |
40973 | As he sat by his battery one day in May,''64, reading a newspaper, a stranger approached him and said,"Major, where are the Yankees?" |
40973 | Battalion?" |
40973 | Frank hears it and turns to me quickly,"Are you hurt?" |
40973 | Gen. Bate rode up to our line and asked,"What command is this?" |
40973 | He kneeled beside a stricken foe, Whose life was ebbing fast away, And then in gentle words and low, He asked if he might read and pray? |
40973 | If I can get two others, will you go with us to find the body and bring it in?" |
40973 | John Carroll, ten feet to my left, kept firing when I could see no game, and I said to him,"John, what are you shooting at?" |
40973 | Just then Gen. Featherston rides up,"What regiment is this?" |
40973 | One of the cooking utensils was missing and he sang out,"Where is the oven?" |
40973 | Shall the breezes, which blow from the''cowpens''where the infant days of Jackson were spent, now fan the brows of a nation of slaves? |
40973 | The noise awakened Gen. Walker, who was sleeping in a tent near by, and rushing out en deshabille, he shouted,"What the d-- l is the matter out here?" |
40973 | This inquiry, while not invested with the same degree of mystery, nor enjoying as large a measure of notoriety as"Who struck Billy Patterson?" |
40973 | To the question,"Is Lincoln dead?" |
40973 | WHERE IS THE OVEN? |
40973 | Was it mutton or was it dog? |
40973 | Was the war on the part of the South only a wicked rebellion, as our Northern friends have been pleased to term it? |
40973 | Were these four wasted years? |
40973 | Where is he?" |
40973 | While chatting with the visitors one of them said to him,"Well, Bud, have n''t they got you in the army yet?" |

48703 | Whence came this water? |
44965 | Did he? |
44965 | My dear sir,he replied,"I know it is not my bird, but do you suppose that I would allow a fellow like that to think that he had killed a bird? |
44965 | Quelques parcelles de tant de gloire parviendront- elles aux siècles à venir, ou, le mensonge, la calomnie, le crime, prévaudront- ils? |
44965 | I hope you are not badly hit?" |
44965 | The chief of the 1st German hussars meeting our commandant one morning,"Well, Colonel,"says the gallant German in broken English,"how you do?" |
44965 | The explanation over, a long silence ensued-- each afraid to pop the question, which must be popp''d, of whose wife was Nancy? |
44965 | The poor creatures looked us piteously in the face, as much as to say,"Are you not ashamed to call yourselves human beings?" |
44965 | Who has not passed down Blackfriars- road of an evening? |
44965 | my dear fellow, how do you do? |
44492 | Do n''t ye? 44492 Ike, did you ever run that horse?" |
44492 | Inoffensive,_ which_? 44492 Pray how did you know that I am from America?" |
44492 | Which? 44492 As Gluckmansklegge rode up, he said,Well, Col- o- nel, how you like? |
44492 | At last he said,"Well now, Colonel, I do n''t reckon you bought that hoss to look at him on the picket- line, did ye?" |
44492 | Can you direct me to a hotel where I can get a bite before I go on?" |
44492 | Confound these Englishmen, thought I, where is their traditional coldness and reserve? |
44492 | Did I remember his horse,--his"Fuchs"? |
44492 | He had bought him in St. Louis from the quartermaster, and would I oblige him by trying him? |
44492 | He replied,"O, who can tell? |
44492 | I did find the Angel comfortable,( as what English inn is not?) |
44492 | Nice pretty strong horse, what?" |
44492 | One evening Gluckmansklegge came to my tent door:"Escoose, Col- o- nel, may I come?" |
44492 | Who is at the head of this house? |
44492 | Would I get him enlisted? |
44492 | Yet, how to subsist a horse after buying one, and how to buy? |
44492 | _ hoss?_ Well,''t ai n''t much of a nag, but theys more on''em roun'', an''if this''un tuckers out I''ll git somethin''to ride. |
44492 | who are you hitting?" |
44492 | who shall tell all the secret emotions this implies? |
47814 | He jumped off, and said he would show me the way, and congratulated me on getting out of Lucknow, and asked if he could do anything for me? |
47814 | How were we to go, and what could we take with us? |
47814 | However, I wrote off to Captain W----, asking if he thought they might be trusted? |
47814 | I spoke to one of the sailors on a 24-pounder, and asked if there were any place appropriated to the ladies? |
47814 | Several of the 32nd officers joined us while we were sitting in the garden, and the discussion was, why the hanging should be stopped? |
47814 | Where shall we spend our own? |
47814 | Where will the 1st of December find us? |
4550 | Do you want to look down? |
4550 | There_ is_ a tone--the tingling sense of it was in the air from the first days, the first hours--"but what does it consist in? |
4550 | Who goes there? 4550 A general exclamation of assent from the other officers, and a protest from the hero:Me? |
4550 | And just how is one aware of it?" |
4550 | And what conditions and qualities seem to minister to it? |
4550 | At a moment when real wants are reduced to a minimum, how else account for the congestion of the department store? |
4550 | But in which? |
4550 | In a day or two you''ll be thinking about going back to the trenches, eh?" |
4550 | Man or woman? |
4550 | Suddenly an officer, pointing to the west of the trenched hill said:"Do you see that farm?" |
4550 | The Colonel stopped to ask a few questions, and then, turning to him, said:"Feeling rather better now?" |
4550 | The second question: What are the conditions and qualities that have produced such results? |
4550 | Then, what--? |
4550 | War? |
4550 | What was that incredible unimagined sound? |
4550 | What, one may be asked, are the proofs of this national tone? |
4550 | Which( one must ask) of all their multiple gifts most help the French today to be what they are in just the way they are? |
44451 | Do you see my hand? 44451 How long will it take to get to the starting- point?" |
44451 | What will happen to your tanks if I put back zero another hour and we attack in daylight? |
44451 | And my old Company? |
44451 | Guns? |
44451 | Had tanks achieved the successes which we had prophesied? |
44451 | How can they know that Cateau Cambrésis was stormed at least ten times during the fifteenth century? |
44451 | How could I possibly go back to the Colonel and tell him that I did not know whether my tanks could fight on the morrow or not? |
44451 | How do I know he is still alive? |
44451 | I found myself walking up and down the village street, stopping everybody I met and saying--"Do you realise that in one hour the war will be over?" |
44451 | I wonder if they took with them the photograph of the Prince of Wales? |
44451 | Is it time for the reserve to be thrown into the battle? |
44451 | Machine- guns or armour- piercing bullets? |
44451 | The trenches? |
44451 | The wire? |
44451 | They might not go out to France this year? |
44451 | Three thousand yards is a trifle near.... For the next five days we had only one thought-- would the Boche"catch on"? |
44451 | Two skeleton battalions were just being formed? |
44451 | What could stop us? |
44451 | What did it matter if one man was singing and another brooding over the battle to come? |
44451 | What had happened to them? |
44451 | Who could ever forget our"Beauty Chorus,"with B. as"prima ballerina,"or Happy Fanny singing a song in his more cheerful mood? |
44451 | Who, then, was to blame for these tortured children with their ghastly green faces, and the still bodies covered with carefully- mended sheets? |
44451 | Why had tanks ever been sent to destruction at Ypres? |
44451 | Why not wait until he stops? |
44451 | Why should the newspapers doubt, when we had never doubted,... but it was impossible that our line should ever be broken? |
44451 | Would I go to the Depot at Wareham? |
44451 | Would the Boche"catch on"?... |
44451 | Would we not soon all be back in Blighty? |
46651 | Pourquoi? |
46651 | Then what did you do? |
46651 | Who are you? |
46651 | Why this unseemly haste? |
46651 | Am I going to die stretched out in a hole like this? |
46651 | Before the war or through Holland? |
46651 | How could this pump have got so far from home? |
46651 | How, I wonder, did the Boche get this pump? |
46651 | Was it a counter- attack? |
46651 | What were we waiting for? |
46651 | Why should we precede them in attack? |
46651 | | ARE WE READY? |
46651 | | IS WAR DIMINISHING? |
48586 | Come down out of that hat,"Jump off and grab a root,"Are you a married man or an Irishman? |
48586 | Was any advantage of position that might have been taken overlooked, not seen, or seen and lost by either side? |
48586 | Was this done? |
48586 | Well knowing such orders, but not admitting the same, the Federals adroitly inquired,"What orders?" |
48822 | How was it with the rebels? |
48822 | What was it that made it so still? |
48822 | Who ever heard of a General skirmishing with a wagon train? |
48822 | You may ask, where was Murphy all this time? |
47856 | And I said:"Lieutenant, do you think I will ever see the Statue of Liberty again?" |
47856 | Arriving at Poperinghe we met a lieutenant who asked the sergeant:"Are you for the''Pats''?" |
47856 | At first I said,"I do n''t know, sir,"and he said:"Well, what are you doing here if you do n''t know? |
47856 | Fifteen hundred men had already fallen, and what could the remaining 500 of us do against the German hordes? |
47856 | I looked at him and then at the tanks and said:"Shall I take them all up at once, or one at a time?" |
47856 | Looking at me he said:"Can you imagine those Dutchmen sniping at me with an eight- inch gun?" |
47856 | One of the Saxons called out,"Hello, Canuck, how''s Quebec, Winnipeg and Vancouver?" |
47856 | The doctor came up to me and said:"What''s your trouble?" |
47856 | The first thing she asked me was,"Can I write a letter home for you?" |
47856 | Where do you feel sick?" |
47856 | You ask why a boy wants to stand up and be shot down by those dogs? |

29333 | But has the genus Man always borne the same sort of characteristics as those that distinguish him to- day? |
29333 | But what of our innings as a whole? |
29333 | But what of the scrum itself? |
29333 | But what use to raise up the vanished ghosts of the past? |
29333 | Can you wonder that in such conditions civilised human nature out here swiftly changes and is replaced by elemental savagery? |
29333 | Can you wonder, with the example of such a man before me, that I should be longing to get into the Infantry? |
29333 | Could you send me out the programme of the coming Promenade Concert season? |

29333 | If there is no dramatic idea kept as end to work to, then what is the use of writing opera at all? |
29333 | If you do not place faith in humanity, what really is the use of any philosophy of life? |
29333 | In any case, are we not the world''s greatest political people and the best colonisers? |
29333 | Is it not clear that the Germans have developed to the full a system of organisation in harmony with their national character? |
29333 | Is it not extraordinary to encounter this sort of thing right up in the battle zone? |
29333 | Is it not splendid? |
29333 | Is it too much to hope that those great principles for which he fought so nobly will at last become the heritage of the whole world? |
29333 | Is n''t it fine that my desire to be really close to the thick of things should be so fully gratified? |
29333 | Is the October number of_ The Alleynian_ out yet? |

29333 | Of what use are our Allies? |

44974 | I never had any relation of that name:"why do n''t you remember you lived in_ France_ with me?" |

49089 | Another man said,"If you will go in I will go with you?" |
49089 | Finally I said,"Well, what about it?" |
49089 | He asked,"Who are you?" |
49089 | He said,"Who are you?" |
49089 | He stooped to feel for it and Brother Isaac asked,"Billy was that you shot?" |
49089 | He then said,"Why in the hell do n''t you boys climb a tree?" |
49089 | I said,"Have you? |
49089 | My first thought was to wake the boys so I called out at the top of my voice,"Who are you?" |
49089 | Nothing could be done but move on, but what was to be done with Robert''s body? |

35119 | Do you want to go on bomb throwing detail this afternoon? |
35119 | Doctor,I asked,"how long will it be before this wound gets better?" |
35119 | Does n''t he look like the sort of man it would be wise to confide in? |
35119 | Feeling all right, old man? |
35119 | Frozen feet,I said,"in Gallipoli? |
35119 | Gallishaw,he said,"do you want to come to work here?" |
35119 | Glory be to God,he said,"what does that make you think of?" |
35119 | Hey,he said,"you come from the United States, do n''t you?" |
35119 | How are you feeling now? |
35119 | How did it happen? |
35119 | How do you feel now? |

35119 | Is anybody hit? |
35119 | Is it tea or cocoa? |
35119 | Is there any message I can take back to Art? |
35119 | Ordered by whom? |
35119 | Sure,he answered;"does a swim want to duck?" |
35119 | Tell me,I said,"shall I get into a real bed on the ship?" |
35119 | Well,he said,"what do you want?" |
35119 | What do you think of the news from the Western front? |
35119 | What hit me? |
35119 | What is all the excitement? |
35119 | What is it? |
35119 | What is it? |
35119 | What part? |
35119 | What the hell is the matter? |
35119 | What train is that, sir? |
35119 | What was I doing here in mid- air? |
35119 | What was the excitement? |

35119 | Where had he got them, and how? |
35119 | Where shall I go? |
35119 | Where''s your rifle? |
35119 | Who goes there? |
35119 | Who have you on board? |
35119 | Who is it? |
35119 | Why did n''t you tell me? |
35119 | Why do n''t you come with me,he said,"instead of digging another place?" |
35119 | Why,I asked him in astonishment,"you do n''t want to get hit, do you?" |
35119 | Wonder who the new lot is? |
35119 | Yes,I said;"what do you want to know that for?" |
35119 | All they have to do is say''What ho,''or,''Where''s the Dublin''s section of trench?'' |
35119 | Before I had a chance to reply Art Pratt relieved the situation by shouting,"Did you say stand by you? |
35119 | Ca n''t I be moved outside?" |
35119 | Ca n''t you see the Corporal''s struck?" |
35119 | Do n''t you want to join us in a party to go up to London?" |
35119 | Do n''t you wish you had some of this?" |
35119 | Every few yards I would ask Hoddinott,"Is it very much farther?" |
35119 | I was passing one of the stairways when I heard some one yell,"Is that you, Corporal Gallishaw?" |
35119 | I''d give you the stuff if I got it to cook, but I do n''t get it, do I, Corporal?" |
35119 | Manson stirred sleepily and murmured,"What do you want?" |
35119 | The worst of it is, they''ll come along to me and say,''What''s your name and number?'' |
35119 | Where did you get it?" |
35119 | Will you stand by me?" |
35119 | [ Illustration: Washing day in war- time]"Is there anybody here?" |
45949 | Did n''t I tell y''es the roight fut''s not the roight fut? |
45949 | Why did I make you a corporal? |
45949 | Why do n''t you blow on it, if it is too hot? |
45949 | Why does n''t the army move? |
45949 | Although I knew them both, I went to the side of the carriage, saluted and said,"Passes, gentlemen?" |
45949 | And what of the chief medical officer? |
45949 | I had not gone far when I was jeered at by boys and larger hoodlums and saluted with such questions as"Soger will ye work?" |
45949 | I put my hand on her waist and gave the skirt a shake which caused an audible jingle of bottles, and asked her,"What''s that, Mama?" |
45949 | I sometimes ask myself the questions-- Was my army service a benefit or a detriment to me in after life? |
45949 | One day while on guard an elderly captain, who unquestionably hailed from one of the New England states, said to me,"Where be you men from? |
45949 | What am I now? |
45949 | What do you clean yours with?" |
45949 | What must have been the thoughts and feeling of the unfortunate sufferers? |
45949 | What should be said of the commander of the post, an officer of high rank? |
45949 | What will you take now?" |
45949 | Why did n''t you go there and arrest them?" |
45949 | Would I have attained a better condition and standing, if I had not been in the military service? |
45949 | the president said,"Then what are you standing there for?" |
49976 | Do you intend to escape, Lieutenant? |
49976 | After looking at me closely from head to foot, she exclaimed,"Is you a Yankee?" |
49976 | Did you come through underground?" |
49976 | How in the world did you get through? |
49976 | Looking the very picture of fright and astonishment, she threw up her hands and exclaimed:"Fo''de Lo''d, massa, wha''you come from?" |
49976 | The same question was put to me:"Wha''you all gwine?" |
49976 | They walked rapidly towards my guides and called out:"Wha''ye all gwine?" |
49976 | This was done by placing a man with his back to the pieces of bread, and the sergeant pointing to one piece at a time and asking,"Whose is this?" |
49976 | Was that sentinel a Yankee was the first thing to be settled satisfactorily? |
42892 | But are you never afraid? |
42892 | Did they shoot at you? |
42892 | Did you give that Jew back his money? |
42892 | Do n''t you hear the cannon over there? |
42892 | General,I said,"did you ask the Secretary to let me go back with you?" |
42892 | I understand, of course,said he,"that you are not saying this on your own authority?" |
42892 | Mr. Dana,asked Colonel Wilder,"what is the situation?" |
42892 | There is James E. English, of Connecticut; I think he is sure, is n''t he? |
42892 | Well, as the President is not here, will you sign the warrant? |
42892 | Well, sir,said I,"what shall I say to these gentlemen?" |
42892 | Well, what says he? |
42892 | What does Stanton say? |
42892 | What in the world is that? |
42892 | What is it? 42892 What shall I do?" |
42892 | What will they be likely to want? |
42892 | Will you give me any orders? |
42892 | Will you go? |
42892 | A little girl of mine said,"Papa, could n''t you take me over to see that?" |
42892 | Ca n''t you send to Indianapolis and catch that fool and have him sent to me to work on the forts? |
42892 | Can any one contend that it ought to be restored to its claimants without charge for the new ties and iron? |
42892 | DEAREST HUSBAND: Why do you not come home? |
42892 | Do you know whether the President will be back before morning?" |
42892 | General Rosecrans, to the proposition to strengthen the left, made always the same reply,"Where are we going to take it from?" |
42892 | Have you forgotten your wife and child? |
42892 | How is he?" |
42892 | How soon can you start?" |
42892 | I asked;"what are the orders?" |
42892 | If we look through the record of great men, where is there one to be placed beside him? |
42892 | Nasby?" |
42892 | Now who would stand in the way of one so kindly and charitably disposed? |
42892 | President?" |
42892 | So it would have been at Cold Harbor if Grant had won, and who would have thought of the losses? |
42892 | Tell me what is the reason?" |
42892 | That morning he said to me at breakfast:"Mr. Dana, I am going to Satartia to- day; would you like to go along?" |
42892 | The first time I saw Sheridan after the battle I said to him,"Why did you go up there?" |
42892 | This letter was followed the next day by a telegram, saying:"Will you come here? |
42892 | What are your orders?" |
42892 | What has come over you? |
42892 | What''s up?" |
42892 | When I went to see him in his office, the first thing he said was:"Will you have a drink?" |
42892 | When the congressman stated the case, I asked him,"Do you want that?" |
42892 | Who can combine the elements of success on the battlefield? |
42892 | Who can combine the elements of success on the battlefield? |
42892 | Who can organize victory? |
42892 | Who can organize victory? |
42892 | Who ever thinks of or reads Everett''s Gettysburg speech now? |
42892 | Why, then, should we give them up for nothing? |
42892 | Will some one kill me? |
44889 | Is it running, too? |
44889 | Why, Mister,said the soldier,"do n''t you know that hell has busted?" |
44889 | A Sergeant demanded our surrender, the Confederate nearest him threw down his gun; the one next to me turned and said,"What shall we do?" |
44889 | Can anyone wonder that we eighteen were drawn together that day by a bond of suffering and blighted hope, closer than ever before? |
44889 | Can we get away and how far? |
44889 | During the evening two ladies came in where we were, one of whom inquired:"Where are you from?" |
44889 | Great soldiers were Lee, Johnston, Jackson, Longstreet, Hills, Pickett, Stuart and others, but who made them great? |
44889 | Have you another man over there three feet across the back and who wears a number two shoe-- two hides to the shoe?" |
44889 | I turn to ask, who were these Confederate soldiers? |
44889 | In the hospital at Chester, when Dr. Schafer already referred to examined me, he said:"Young man, do you know you are nearly dead?" |
44889 | Is it their intention to subjugate the states, and overthrow the citadel of liberty itself? |
44889 | It must not be supposed that men were not alarmed, for doubtless many a poor fellow thought his time had come-- and pray? |
44889 | It was from the 53d chapter of Isaiah, verse i:"Who hath believed our report? |
44889 | Maybe these after all were the lucky men-- who knows? |
44889 | Naturally the query was often made, how long will the war last? |
44889 | Seeing the mighty host gathered and gathering to envelop the few rebels left, this Confederate cried out,"Do we have to whip the world?" |
44889 | Sumner responded,"Do n''t you know that Abe Lincoln is re- elected and has called for a million men, and that Jeff Davis says war to the knife? |
44889 | The captain inquired,"What?" |
44889 | Then the query,"To what command do you belong?" |
44889 | They call us rebels-- can a sovereign be a rebel? |
44889 | What are our prospects for success? |
44889 | What do the Northern people mean? |
44889 | What shall we do?" |
44889 | What should I do? |
44889 | When will it end? |
44889 | Where are you going?" |
44889 | Who else could they be? |
44889 | Who would have ever heard of them, or of General Grant, but for the Confederate soldier? |
44889 | Why the bridge? |
44889 | Will it continue until the last man falls? |
44889 | and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?" |
16521 | A quiet drive round the park, I suppose, Miss? |
16521 | Am I to leave the_ blessà © s_, then? |
16521 | Believe you that she can understand what we say? |
16521 | Bin drivin''the boys,''as she? 16521 Call those''ands?" |
16521 | Cockles? |
16521 | Complètement coupà © e,I heard one say, and quick as a shot, I asked,"Où est- ce que c''est qu''est coupà ©?" |
16521 | D''you come from Sussex? |
16521 | Dead? |
16521 | Dear me, however did_ that_ happen? |
16521 | Did he die in this bed? |
16521 | Did it bleed? |
16521 | Do I mind the air rides, Miss? 16521 Does he mean it is n''t his own Christian name?" |
16521 | Fine chaps,said the one sitting on the box to me,"they''re a good emetic of their country, are n''t they?" |
16521 | Got your knee, Miss? |
16521 | Ha ye no men to do yon dirty worrk for ye? |
16521 | Have you cleaned them? |
16521 | He''s not a---- dog,I protested, and then up came a Padre who asked gravely,"What are you, my child?" |
16521 | Hoots, mon,they called to the now thoroughly embarrassed D., as we mounted,"are ye no going to lift the lassie oop?" |
16521 | How did you get in? |
16521 | How have_ you_ got here? |
16521 | How high? |
16521 | How now, you know not how to cook a thing simple as that? 16521 How,"asked the Colonel, who was conducting the Enquiry,"can you declare with so much certainty the space was 3 feet 8 inches?" |
16521 | Humph, I suppose you know they grow on sewers and people who eat them die of ptomaine poisoning? |
16521 | I guess y''aint chopped many sticks,''ave yer? |
16521 | I suppose, Miss, you would n''t care to join us? |
16521 | I''m for home this time,he said sadly,"but wo n''t the old missus be pleased?" |
16521 | I''ve broken both legs,I announced,"will I be able to ride again?" |
16521 | If it were not permitted that I return? 16521 Is it necessary?" |
16521 | Is n''t it the limit? 16521 It''s good to see you back, Miss,"he said,"the driver they put on the lorry was very slow and cautious-- you know the''en we always try to catch? |
16521 | Mademoiselle knows_ la boxe_? |
16521 | Mademoiselle knows_ ze- k_-nock- oot? |
16521 | May I ask what you_ did_? |
16521 | May I ask with what? |
16521 | Miske,he asked,"think you that I shall see my wife and five children again?" |
16521 | No? |
16521 | Not going? |
16521 | Red Cross then? |
16521 | See you her strong boots? |
16521 | Sister,another one called,"will you drive us when we leave for Blighty?" |
16521 | Sorry, miss, did it ketch you? |
16521 | Sure? |
16521 | That''s funny,I thought,"where can it have come from?" |
16521 | They work like men, these English young girls, is it not so? |
16521 | Was it? |
16521 | Well,said Sergeant Wicks cheerfully,"what do you think of the typhoid Wards? |
16521 | What about keeping some gold fish? |
16521 | What could it be? |
16521 | What on earth shall I do,said she,"I''ve finished all the ice, and there''s not a bit left to make the tea for breakfast? |
16521 | What price,_ Kiwi_? |
16521 | What were we doing? |
16521 | What would it have been like without morphia? |
16521 | What''s happened,I asked my friend,"are we supposed to stop?" |
16521 | What, Pierre,said I,"you do n''t mean to say you are leaving us?" |
16521 | Where can I join it? |
16521 | Where-- What? |
16521 | Which one is it? |
16521 | Whom have you got in behind? |
16521 | Why do we do it? |
16521 | Why have you taken me off the Blighty ship, Sister? |
16521 | Why must they go through so much suffering? |
16521 | Why? 16521 Why?" |
16521 | Will I be able to ride again? |
16521 | Will I see me old mother again, Sister? |
16521 | Will you tell me,said Mrs. F. confidentially,"if that young man is engaged to Miss B.?" |
16521 | Wot was that you''anded out to them, Miss? |
16521 | Wot_ would_ Liza say? |
16521 | You do n''t say, sir? 16521 You would, would you?" |
16521 | You''re telling me the truth, Sister? 16521 _ Do chocolat, si voos play_,"they would ask, and were speechless with surprise when we replied sweetly:"Certainly, which kind will you have?" |
16521 | _ Que voulez- vous, Mademoiselle_,the old man continued, shrugging his shoulders,"_ Jolie Annette ne chante pas mal, hein?_"and I agreed with him. |
16521 | ( One in the eye for Fritz what?) |
16521 | A priceless article appeared in one of the leading dailies entitled,"Women Motor Drivers.--Is it a suitable occupation?" |
16521 | A sigh of relief( or was it disappointment?) |
16521 | Are you an orderly or are n''t you?" |
16521 | As I stepped out of the taxi at Charing Cross and handed my kit to the porter, he asked:"Boat train, Miss?" |
16521 | As if it was_ my_ fault I was n''t? |
16521 | Bad luck on the"bloke,"what? |
16521 | Bridget entered just then and, determined not to appear flustered, in as cool a voice as possible I said:"Is that all right, old thing?" |
16521 | Ca n''t you imagine the outraged feelings of the good burghers? |
16521 | Could I urge Little Willie on? |
16521 | Could any of us be spared? |
16521 | Do you think I am going to die, Miske?" |
16521 | Had I really been away two years or was it only a sort of lengthy nightmare? |
16521 | Hardly what one might call tactful, what? |
16521 | Have you a scent spray? |
16521 | He has kindly given me permission to reproduce them: Was there love once? |
16521 | He saw my hesitation, and in the most natural manner in the world said with a bow,"Mademoiselle has probably come for_ un bon_?" |
16521 | He scanned my pink pass for some time and then asked,"Where are you going?" |
16521 | He seemed to regain consciousness to a certain extent and asked me from time to time,"Sister, am I dying?" |
16521 | He stopped and chuckled,"You do fatigues just the same as we do?" |
16521 | Host to Logan:"I suppose, being in a Convoy Camp, you hear nothing but motor shop the whole time, and get to know quite a lot about them?" |
16521 | How could I make Jan salute, I wondered? |
16521 | How on earth did you get it?" |
16521 | How to cope, that was the question? |
16521 | How to cope? |
16521 | I found her wringing out some blankets and was greeted with the cheery"Hello, had a good leave? |
16521 | I remember once on getting to the Casino I called out,"I hope you were n''t bumped too much in there?" |
16521 | I say, old bird, you wo n''t mind going into the cook- house for a bit, will you, till the real cook comes? |
16521 | I wondered, and then in a flash the scenes of that morning( or was it a week ago?) |
16521 | I''m afraid I knew nothing much about either and shamelessly countered it by asking,"Which are you?" |
16521 | If they_ are_ to die, why ca n''t it happen at once?" |
16521 | In the morning when I awoke after a sound night''s sleep, I would exclaim triumphantly:"There you are,''Squig,''what price the tent blowing down? |
16521 | Is it not so, Henri?" |
16521 | It is_ chic_ that, hein?" |
16521 | It was comforting to overhear them say to each other on the journey:"This is fine, mate, ai n''t it?" |
16521 | It was pathetic when a voice from the interior could be heard asking,"Is it much farther, Sister?" |
16521 | Makes you rather sick to talk of it? |
16521 | No? |
16521 | One day she called him to account, and, in an exasperated voice said,"What are you supposed to be doing here, Louis, anyway? |
16521 | One enthusiast asked me breathlessly( it was Cole- Hamilton)"Which side are you on?" |
16521 | Splendid are n''t they? |
16521 | Surely not Madame your mother when there are young girls such as you in the house?" |
16521 | Surely of all the lonely places of the earth this was by far the worst? |
16521 | Terribly cheerful, are n''t you? |
16521 | That surprising sportsman replied:"Is n''t it? |
16521 | The explanation being that one day a certain general visited the camp, and on leaving said:"Oh, by the way, are you people''army''?" |
16521 | The type who says"Whatever was that? |
16521 | Then a fifth murmured,"What about fishing? |
16521 | To bob or not to bob, that was the question? |
16521 | Was the war worth even one boy''s eyesight? |
16521 | Was there grief once? |
16521 | Was there grief once? |
16521 | Was there love once? |
16521 | We had a cheery breakfast, and when it was over I called out,"I hope you all feel very much better and otherwise radiating? |
16521 | Well I never, wot''s the crime, I wonder? |
16521 | What could it be? |
16521 | What was I to do? |
16521 | What was the poor man to do? |
16521 | What were the sentinels doing, I wondered? |
16521 | What, I wondered, happened to his wife and five children? |
16521 | What? |
16521 | Whatever was that? |
16521 | When he had recovered, he said,"No, you mistake me, what religion I mean?" |
16521 | Who then makes the''cuisine''for you at home? |
16521 | Who up and joined the Irish guards as Kitchener''s pride and joy; When on the march you''ll hear them shout,''Who''s going to win the war?'' |
16521 | Who was it, when she doubted him, got on his knees and swore He''d love her for three years or the duration of the War?" |
16521 | Would the ambulance never arrive? |
16521 | Would you kindly ring for the lift? |
16521 | You know the kind of thing, trying to pick up ten needles with a pin( or is it two?) |
16521 | You see, Sir, do n''t you?" |
16521 | You''re so good- natured(?) |
16521 | Young man,"and she fixed Eric with her lorgnettes,"have_ you_ been wounded-- I see_ no_ stripe on your arm?" |
16521 | _ Last Verse_"Who was it met a dainty little Belgian refugee And right behind the firing line, would take her on his knee? |
16521 | _ Ã � propos_ I remember asking one night when an ambulance train came in in the dark,"Are you liers or sitters in here?" |
16521 | _"Qu''est ce qu''il y''a? |
16521 | was all I could feebly ask--"Why, yes, did n''t they tell you?" |
16521 | would come? |
35700 | Doctor, may I try to save my boy my own way? |
35700 | From whom? |
35700 | I wonder, Lord, will I ever get to heaven-- to the New Jerusalem? |
35700 | If I can write to your mother before you are free, what shall I say? |
35700 | Is he wounded? |
35700 | Miss M----,said one of the more timid servants,"do they want to kill us all dead? |
35700 | We camp near, do we? |
35700 | What can be the matter? |
35700 | Where are you going? |
35700 | Where can we go? 35700 Who shall we look to now for protection?" |
35700 | You are very sick, and God may not spare your life; will you say one little prayer after me? |
35700 | And what will the morrow bring forth? |
35700 | At breakfast, on the morning of the 17th, we heard discussed the question, Whether there was a masked battery on the opposite shore or not? |
35700 | But why does he cripple so efficient an officer as General P---- certainly is, so as almost to render him inefficient? |
35700 | Can no appeal be made by which peace may come to us?" |
35700 | Can the farmer, to whom it offers the latest results of agricultural research and experiment? |
35700 | Can the intelligent mechanic, who wishes to understand what he reads in his daily paper? |
35700 | Can the teacher, who is enabled, by the outside information it affords, to make his instructions doubly interesting and profitable? |
35700 | Can the young man, to whom it affords the means of storing his mind with useful knowledge bearing no any vocation he may have selected? |
35700 | Can there be nothing done to assuage the fierce passions of men? |
35700 | Can you credit it, dear J----, General Beauregard has evacuated Corinth? |
35700 | Did this smooth, deceitful current of the glowing waters glide over forms loved and lost to the faithful ones at home? |
35700 | Do you not already repent the remark? |
35700 | Had this night made them orphans? |
35700 | Have I ever told you his history? |
35700 | How could we sing and laugh amid our suffering fellow beings-- amid the shriek of death itself? |
35700 | I had been sleeping some time, for the moon was shining brightly, when I was awakened by loud cries and screams:"Where shall we go? |
35700 | I thought him an ordinary man, did not you? |
35700 | I thought, as I leaned from the balcony of my room; will these streets echo to the tread of the victorious army? |
35700 | I turned to the doctor, questioning:"Are they coming over the hill?" |
35700 | I was reminded of the poor man in an infected district who was met by a traveller and asked,"How do you live here?" |
35700 | In the midst of all the falling shells, can not one reach him, giving him peace and death? |
35700 | Madam, do n''t you think your house stands in need of you?" |
35700 | Must we again go through the fright and anxiety of yesterday?" |
35700 | My friend, do you dread death? |
35700 | O boys, where are you? |
35700 | Our whole little household had been drawn out to witness the departure of the brilliant(?) |
35700 | Really, was there to be no mental rest for the women of Vicksburg? |
35700 | Shot, gasping, wild, he staggered around, crying piteously,"Where are you, boys? |
35700 | So I said:"Soldier, would you like a tent fly?" |
35700 | So, in answer to the little man''s query,"Do n''t you think we''d better whip up and try to make O---- by night?" |
35700 | Standing between us, he said:"Where are you gwin'', old man?" |
35700 | Suppose the gunboats should make an attack? |
35700 | Was M---- in earnest? |
35700 | Was it a dream? |
35700 | What could it mean? |
35700 | What soul in the land but has felt and witnessed this grief-- this unavailing sorrow for the brave and untimely dead? |
35700 | What was the poor mother doing now, of whom he whispered to me? |
35700 | Why do n''t you stand your ground?" |
35700 | Why should a woman of sense care to talk about anything but dress and her servants? |
35700 | Will they keep doing this until we all die?" |
35700 | Would you like to see those you love complimented in this way? |
35700 | Yet I thought, may I not be in danger in Vicksburg? |
35700 | Yet, is there any place where one is perfectly safe in these terrible times? |
35700 | You do not wonder at my quotation in favor of a retrograde movement in this frame of mind, do you? |
35700 | You''ll stand by us, and protect us, wo n''t you? |
35700 | cried I,"have we no rest for the sole of our foot? |
35700 | mamma, was it a mortar tell?" |
35700 | of opportunities for good to our fellow men lost? |
35700 | of prayers hastily said over? |
35700 | said I to a friend,"how is it possible you live here?" |
35700 | where shall we go?" |
44599 | But,I asked,"what makes you think we are in danger here?" |
44599 | But,asks a woman,"is n''t there any way of stopping them?" |
44599 | Then,said he,"what happened to the patrol that was ordered to go this way this morning?" |
44599 | They evacuated Penchard yesterday, did n''t they? |
44599 | Where are you going? |
44599 | Yes, but who can tell? 44599 And besides, Captain, if danger threatened, would n''t these troops insure the escape of the civilians who are left? |
44599 | And by whom? |
44599 | And yet, did not His messenger on earth say:"Love one another"? |
44599 | Are we alone to remain behind? |
44599 | As long as time endures, in order that ideals may live, must the earth be drenched with blood and tears? |
44599 | But how are we to get to the other side of the river? |
44599 | But where do you live?" |
44599 | Can it be possible that in this marvellous setting, in this peaceful countryside and radiant sunshine, men are killing each other? |
44599 | Can it be that the horses we have been hearing for several nights back belong to these patrols? |
44599 | Can we do nothing but stand waiting here-- useless-- helpless? |
44599 | Could anything be more beautiful to their eyes than their humble dwelling-- their little white house? |
44599 | Did they hear us? |
44599 | Do you think, Captain, that there is still danger? |
44599 | How could they have gone away from it? |
44599 | How many among those men who are marching by will see their own again? |
44599 | Is such a thing still possible in this century? |
44599 | On our asking:"Where are the Germans?" |
44599 | One of them went on with a sneer:"Ha, so you''re scared of the Boches, are you? |
44599 | Shall we ever attain to the ideal of peace? |
44599 | The Germans are falling back, are n''t they?" |
44599 | To whom can I report this discovery? |
44599 | Was the auto to reach Meaux by going through Mareuil in case the State road was cut off? |
44599 | Were there several patrols? |
44599 | What harvest will be garnered from all this mowing down of tender youth, cut off here before our eyes? |
44599 | What have the sons of men done with Christ''s doctrines of love-- charity-- peace? |
44599 | What is happening? |
44599 | What shall we do with it? |
44599 | Why did n''t you answer? |
44599 | Will he start off again? |
44599 | Will the baker make more to- morrow? |
44599 | Will they ever see again those little ones of whom our children remind them? |
20460 | All Union people, I suppose? |
20460 | Are you quite sure Mrs. Hobart said''egad,''Colonel? |
20460 | Beg pardon, madam, is this the direct road to Shallow Ford? |
20460 | Black square? 20460 Bless your sowl, Captain, and do you think I had nothing to do but to watch the boys? |
20460 | But, Corporal,inquired Captain Hunter,"what were the other soldiers of your company doing all this time?" |
20460 | Do they miss me at home; do they miss me? |
20460 | Do you recollect a stroll down to the bay shore one moonlight night? |
20460 | Goin''home on furlough, eh? |
20460 | Hell,shouted Buckner,"does de Capin''spose I''m guiane to eat wid a d-- n common nigger? |
20460 | How do you form an oblique square, sir? |
20460 | How is that, Parson,said Davis, affecting to misunderstand him;"not worth a damn there?" |
20460 | Indeed,said the Captain;"what about Chattanooga?" |
20460 | Is he a loyal man? |
20460 | Is he secesh? |
20460 | Mary Patterson? |
20460 | Never pay the Lord? |
20460 | Thou, thou reignest in this bosom, There, there hast thou thy throne; Thou, thou knowest that I love thee; Am I not fondly thine own? 20460 Tom, you scoundrel, how dare you slander the white man in that way?" |
20460 | Well,he continued,"you are a general now, are you?" |
20460 | What are a th- thousand men,said he,"when( hic) principle is at stake? |
20460 | What can you do? 20460 What do you say, gentlemen, to a second lieutenancy for General Beatty''s friend?" |
20460 | What do you want to go church for, CÃ ¦ sar? |
20460 | What is your master''s name? |
20460 | What kind of light,he will ask,"is that kind which is the opposite of heavy?" |
20460 | What time? |
20460 | Where did you learn to cook? |
20460 | Where do you all come from? |
20460 | Where is the officer of the day? |
20460 | Who comes there? |
20460 | Why so, CÃ ¦ sar? |
20460 | Why you are a fool, John; did you suppose I wanted you to make me tea out of tobacco? |
20460 | Why, how is that? |
20460 | You have not heard that Longstreet was defeated at Knoxville, and compelled to fall back with heavy loss? |
20460 | You have not heard, then, that Bragg was whipped; lost sixty pieces of artillery and many thousand men? |
20460 | You knew General Patterson? |
20460 | A room? |
20460 | A voice came out of the darkness, asking,"who are you?" |
20460 | Am I not fondly thine own? |
20460 | Are they friends or foes? |
20460 | Are you a inviten''me to pound you over the head with a saw- log? |
20460 | As the column approached, said one of the women to a soldier:"Is these uns Yankees?" |
20460 | As they passed, our men made many good- natured remarks, as,"Well, boys, you''re tired of soldiering, ar''n''t you?" |
20460 | At another time he gave an order to a soldier which was not obeyed with sufficient alacrity, when he yelled:"What regiment do you belong to?" |
20460 | Black square?" |
20460 | Buckner, astonished at this unceremonious intrusion, exclaimed:"What you doin''har, sah?" |
20460 | Can you cook?" |
20460 | Captain Mitchell called, and the boys said:"Sergeant, do n''t you know him?" |
20460 | Colonel Marrow sought to question this same fellow in regard to the strength of the enemy, when the boy said:"Are you a commissioned officer?" |
20460 | CÃ ¦ sar said to the Adjutant,"Massa Wilson, may I go to church?" |
20460 | Did the new moon, which I saw so squarely over my left shoulder when riding him over Waldron''s ridge, augur this? |
20460 | Did you ebber know a man ter get black when he''s scard, sah? |
20460 | Do a man''s har git black when he scared, sah? |
20460 | For sacrifice of children, wife, and friends? |
20460 | For sacrifice of firesides-- genial homes? |
20460 | Governor(?) |
20460 | Had you not better cease this sort of warfare? |
20460 | Hailing a little knot, I said:"Boys where do you live?" |
20460 | Has he wife and children in that mountain nest? |
20460 | Has the great experiment failed? |
20460 | He thanks God that he is not an American; and should not we, in a spirit of conciliation, meet him half way, and feel thankful that he is not? |
20460 | He thought the straws in his bunk were thorns, and would pluck at them with his fingers and exclaim:"My God, ai n''t they sharp?" |
20460 | Hostler, you d-- d scoundrel, why do n''t you wipe Jerome''s nose?" |
20460 | How comfort mother for the loss of son? |
20460 | How do ye do?" |
20460 | How was he dressed? |
20460 | How were their days spent, and amongst what surroundings? |
20460 | I approached the door and rapped, and a woman''s voice from within asked,"who was there?" |
20460 | I asked:"Do you call this money?" |
20460 | I asked:"Where have you been, Lieutenant?" |
20460 | I introduced my friends to Lieutenant Van Pelt, of Loomis''battery, and Mr. House asked:"Lieutenant, will these guns shoot with any kind of decision?" |
20460 | I said to him,"Are those our troops?" |
20460 | I said to one,"what is your name?" |
20460 | I told him I was not sure yet, and he said:"Is it uncertainty or modesty that makes you doubt?" |
20460 | If the enemy is too strong for us to attack, what must be the fate of Rosecrans''four regiments, cut off from us, and struggling against such odds? |
20460 | If the husbands, brothers, and fathers of these people, their natural leaders and guardians, do not care for them, why should we? |
20460 | Is country naught to thee? |
20460 | Is freedom nothing? |
20460 | Is he a man of dogs and guns, who spends his years in the mountains and glens hunting for bear and deer? |
20460 | Is it a pleasant home? |
20460 | Is it not ancient Pistol come again to astonish the world by deeds of reckless daring? |
20460 | Is it the desire for freedom, or the dislike for his overseer, that prompts him to run five miles of a Sunday to give this information? |
20460 | Is not that rather more than a farm hand who gets but twelve dollars a month can afford to pay for boots?" |
20460 | Keep quiet; what the h-- ll yer''bout there, now? |
20460 | Lord, when will this war end? |
20460 | May it not be the baronial castle of"old Leather Breeches"himself? |
20460 | May we not hope that their darkened minds caught glimpses of the sun of a better life, now rising for them? |
20460 | McCook is, doubtless, to blame for being hasty; but may not Buell be censurable for being slow? |
20460 | Meeting Captain Loomis yesterday, he said:"Do you know you captured a regiment at Chaplin Hills?" |
20460 | Naught an honored name? |
20460 | Now we hear the yell which betokens encouraged hearts; but whose yell? |
20460 | On last Sunday Captain Wells found him dressed very elaborately, in white vest and clean linen, and said to him:"What''s in the wind, Buckner?" |
20460 | One day CÃ ¦ sar said to me,"Co''nel, you belongs to de meetin do n''t you?" |
20460 | One of my companions asked,"are you Union soldiers?" |
20460 | Poking his head into my tent, and, taking off his hat, he said:"Is de Co''nel in?" |
20460 | Riding on a little further, a private passed without touching his cap:"Hold on, here,"said the General,"do n''t you know how to salute a superior?" |
20460 | Said the Parson to an old man:"My friend, are you religious?" |
20460 | Saw a man, did you? |
20460 | Says he, Dick says he, how did they hit you so many times? |
20460 | Shall CÃ ¦ sar be stuffed or not? |
20460 | Shall we continue to protect the property of our enemies, and lose the lives of our friends? |
20460 | That was a pleasant conceit of Holmes,"What did poor Katy do?" |
20460 | The Captain said:"Sergeant, do n''t you know where you are?" |
20460 | The General hallooed after me,"How d''ye do?" |
20460 | The boys laughed and said:"If this is called an academy, what sort of things must their common school- houses be?" |
20460 | The former checked up, shook hands, and said:"How d''ye do?" |
20460 | The other day Davy had him out for exercise, and when he came rearing and charging back, I said:"How does he behave to- day, Davy?" |
20460 | These days of marchings, nights of lonely guard? |
20460 | They say:"You would not disturb peaceable citizens by levying contributions from them?" |
20460 | This terrible expenditure of health and life? |
20460 | To- night I received a bundle of Northern papers, and among others the Union(?) |
20460 | Was he large or small? |
20460 | What are his thoughts about the war, and its probable effects on his own fortunes, as he trudges along over the hills? |
20460 | What balm to soothe a widow''s aching heart? |
20460 | What balm to which her heaviest grief must yield? |
20460 | What could I do? |
20460 | What did you see when you came up street? |
20460 | What hour, what gift, will ever make amends For broken health, for bruised flesh and bones, For lives cut short by bullet, blade, disease? |
20460 | What is a room? |
20460 | What were their thoughts, fears, hopes, acts? |
20460 | What''s home, if in craven shame We seek its hearthstone? |
20460 | Where balm to heal the widow''s heart, or what Shall soothe a mother''s grief for woes like these? |
20460 | Where is the glory? |
20460 | Where is the glory? |
20460 | Where is the reward, For sacrifice of comfort, quiet, peace? |
20460 | Where is the reward? |
20460 | Where, and under what circumstances, have I heard other bands? |
20460 | Which end of it should I take? |
20460 | While there, a good- looking non- commissioned officer of the battery came up to me, and, extending his hand, said:"How do you do, General?" |
20460 | Who can really know what an army is unless he mingles with the individuals who compose it, and learns how they live, think, talk, and act? |
20460 | Who comes there?" |
20460 | Who lived in the town of Athlone, Alone? |
20460 | Who lives in that house? |
20460 | Who were their associates, and on which side of the great questions of the day did they stand? |
20460 | Who were they? |
20460 | Why not? |
20460 | Why should they not be as contented as himself? |
20460 | Why, at any rate, did he not notify me of the order which he had received from the division commander? |
20460 | Why, my lads, dinna ye march forward in order? |
20460 | Why, when the battle was progressing so advantageously for our side, did they not go on? |
20460 | Will the man ever come to consolidate these innumerable detachments of the National army, and then sweep through the Confederacy like a tornado? |
20460 | Wo n''t you take a seat?" |
20460 | Would it be regarded as an act of presumption and treated with ridicule and contempt? |
20460 | broke in the boys;"never pay the Lord? |
20460 | do you want me to hit you a lick over the snoot, now-- do you? |
20460 | his wings are shorter than they were, and of what use is his head without wings? |
20460 | who comes there?" |
20460 | who comes there?" |
20460 | who comes there?" |
51063 | And what if some contagion should break out among them, like smouldering fire in a haystack? |
51063 | But how to do this with troops confined within the narrow quarters of a ship? |
51063 | But what if the sea should grow yet fiercer and heavier, and buffet her with redoubled energy till she is maimed or exhausted? |
51063 | But where was the fleet? |
51063 | Or were the railroad officials in sympathy with secession, and purposely hampering our movements by pretended friendship and false excuses? |
51063 | Was our own march to be obstructed at the outset by a rebellious city, standing like a fortress across the route? |
51063 | Were the batteries silenced, and the game played out and lost? |
51063 | Were these old sea- dogs, after coming six hundred miles on purpose, to be delayed in their work by a little rough water? |
51063 | What could be the cause of such delay, when everything demanded promptitude and celerity? |
51063 | What did it mean? |
51063 | Who could tell what might be happening even then at the national capital? |
37628 | ''Ow can I keep me''orses fit,he used to say,"if a bloomin''bank clerk goes drivin''''em at a stretched gallop the''ole o''Saturday? |
37628 | ''Ow should I know? |
37628 | Anything happen after I left? |
37628 | Are you certain,I repeated,"that you''ve only got your own telescope and sight clinometer?" |
37628 | Did you pass any of our infantry on your way? |
37628 | Do you know what to- day is? |
37628 | Fuze two-- more_ right_ I said-- damn them, they''re still advancing-- what price the old----th now?... |
37628 | How do you mean, sir? |
37628 | Jolly, is n''t it? |
37628 | Never mind,I replied,"but would it be disturbing your arrangements at all if I watered my horses and gave my men some food here? |
37628 | Nice box- up here, is n''t it? 37628 Steady now-- get back, will yer?" |
37628 | Well,said some one else,"he''s been posted to B sub; why not call him Bilfred?" |
37628 | What do you mean? 37628 What is it, Tony?" |
37628 | What price the news? |
37628 | What the devil have you got there, Tebbut? |
37628 | What the hell shall I do now? |
37628 | What will these keep out? |
37628 | What''s happened here, and where the devil have you been all day? |
37628 | Where have you come from? |
37628 | Who are_ you_? |
37628 | Will I take his place? |
37628 | Wot about yer''orses, Snatty? |
37628 | Yes, sir: but have you seen our oven? |
37628 | You are an officer, are n''t you? |
37628 | You shut yer mouth and get on with yer work,was the rejoinder,"Wot do you know about guns, I''d like to know?" |
37628 | And he made it unmistakably plain that what he meant was:"Do you think I''m such a fool as to let you go? |
37628 | Any letters for me?" |
37628 | At intervals, every half- hour or so, a mighty shout would go up,"Are we downhearted?" |
37628 | But did we"take over"this position? |
37628 | But how soon? |
37628 | But what will happen now? |
37628 | Can you do anything? |
37628 | Could tact have gone further? |
37628 | D''you reckon''e''ll get orl right, sir?" |
37628 | Did you get''em?" |
37628 | Does our escort( twenty armed men under a sergeant) fear a combined revolt, I wonder, or is this done merely to annoy us? |
37628 | Get an orderly, will you, Tony?" |
37628 | He would growl at each one as he groomed him, or scold him as one does a naughty child, and his"Naow_ then_, stand still, will yer, Dawn?" |
37628 | However, the patriotism of the canteen contractor( who, need I say? |
37628 | Is it worth all the trouble, the science, the skill, the organisation? |
37628 | Is n''t that so?" |
37628 | Is there not a derelict railway station less than a mile away, and are not piles of rubble placed along the roadsides for mending purposes? |
37628 | It is as if they said, in so many words,"Who the deuce are you? |
37628 | It was his right, he had earned it by nine months of drudgery-- and who the devil, anyway, he felt, was this old fool to thwart him? |
37628 | Now?" |
37628 | Oats were plentiful-- what else mattered? |
37628 | Our pit could n''t keep the rain out last night-- what''ll it do if a shell comes along?" |
37628 | PART II"AND THE OLD"BILFRED... Fellow- creature I am, fellow- servant Of God: can man fathom God''s dealings with us? |
37628 | See?" |
37628 | Should he hide all the colonel''s clothes and only reveal their whereabouts when the application had been forwarded? |
37628 | Supposing he were to lose half a dozen wagons or thousands of rounds of howitzer ammunition, would his colonel get sent home? |
37628 | The sergeant- major, for instance, who is the personification of respectful efficiency-- what does he think of this infant unit? |
37628 | Then he said slowly:"Are you English?" |
37628 | Then''e suddenly calls out:''Is that there telephone workin''yet?'' |
37628 | Then, after a pause, he added recklessly,"Would you have come back, sir, if you''d been me?" |
37628 | They are happy now because they''re thinking only of to- morrow, but what of the day after? |
37628 | Understand that?" |
37628 | Well, do not the winds that shriek across this flat country blow down trees sometimes? |
37628 | What about them fags, Tom? |
37628 | What of the future of these maimed and broken men? |
37628 | What say to going down the road?" |
37628 | What''s going to happen to- morrow?" |
37628 | When can I join? |
37628 | Which one had they in your brigade when you went over there last night-- the right one or the wrong one?" |
37628 | Why did n''t you tell me that before?" |
37628 | Why not have left the poor devil in his hospital? |
37628 | Will they be remembered or forgotten? |
37628 | Would he stamp his feet and toss his head proudly when he heard of the Greys at Waterloo or the Light Brigade at Balaclava? |
37628 | a husky voice exclaimed,"stand still, will yer, Dawn?" |
37628 | and who knoweth more? |
37628 | did yer? |
37628 | she exclaimed to me in the tones of an anxious mother-- and then added in an excited whisper,"A- t- il vu les Boches, ce petit sous- lieutenant?" |
37628 | some one asked him;"who''s going to''ave them when you''re gorn?" |
37628 | what of the thousands of days after? |
11211 | ''Are ye Tamson, the baker?'' 11211 ''What''s the trouble?'' |
11211 | A fair hit, I mean? |
11211 | A thing like yon''s hard to be getting, I''m thinking? |
11211 | And what sort of music does it best of all? |
11211 | Back again, are you? 11211 Do n''t your poor knees get cold-- with no coverings, exposed to this bitter cold?" |
11211 | Do you remember all the lads you met at the billet where you came to sing for us the first time I met you, Harry? |
11211 | Eh, Harry, man,he said,"will ye be doin''me a favor?" |
11211 | Fluently? |
11211 | From what province? |
11211 | Ha''ye seen a''the men frae the braes and the glen, Ha''ye seen them a''marchin''awa''? 11211 How are you getting on, Jock?" |
11211 | How came it like this? |
11211 | How came you to be hurt, lad? |
11211 | How came you to get this? |
11211 | How can I tak up again with that old mummery? 11211 How did you rest, son?" |
11211 | How do you like being a prisoner? |
11211 | How is the spirit of your men? |
11211 | How often do you get a shell right inside the pit here? |
11211 | How will you answer that bairn''s question? |
11211 | How would you like a pot shot, lads? |
11211 | I say, man,he asked, at last,"are ye not Tamson, the baker?" |
11211 | I wonder if General Haig has arrived, by any chance? |
11211 | If there is a God,they whisper to themselves,"why does he permit a thing so wicked to go on?" |
11211 | Is n''t it near time for me to be finishing my concert, sir? |
11211 | It was n''t Sir Douglas Haig who arrived, was it, Harry? |
11211 | Man, if ye''ve been to the war do ye not know it for sure and certain? |
11211 | May I join you in a smoke? |
11211 | Mother,she asked,"what is a soldier for?" |
11211 | Still,I said,"you must be fighting for something else, too?" |
11211 | Their spirit? |
11211 | We''ve been thinking, Tam and I, what would become of England, should Scotland make a separate peace? |
11211 | Weel, Tamson, man, what''s the matter wi''ye? |
11211 | Well,the father will ask,"how are you getting along, lad?" |
11211 | What are the Germans fighting for? 11211 What do they do there?" |
11211 | What do you need most, son? |
11211 | What do you think, Dad? |
11211 | What do you think, son? |
11211 | What have you done to your knee, Lauder? |
11211 | What is it would be such a bad business? |
11211 | What stirs a man''s fighting spirit quicker or better than the right sort of music? |
11211 | What would you do? 11211 What''s the matter here?" |
11211 | What''s the next stop? |
11211 | What? 11211 When did you hear from the boy? |
11211 | Where do you go next, Harry? |
11211 | Where? |
11211 | Would the boys like to hear a concert? |
11211 | Would you like to try a shot, Harry? |
11211 | Would your men like to hear a few songs, lieutenant? |
11211 | Ye think so? |
11211 | Yon? |
11211 | You know that hole you were singing in just now? |
11211 | You speak English? |
11211 | Ze Hun? 11211 ''Is n''t that hard lines, sir?'' 11211 A foreigner was murdered-- what if he was a prince, the Archduke of Austria? 11211 And just before the bugles sounded all ashore I heard a few of them crooning an old Scots song:Will ye no come back again?" |
11211 | And what do you think? |
11211 | And yet I knew there were Scots folk there-- where in the world are there not? |
11211 | Any complaints?" |
11211 | Are you and Mrs. Lauder well?" |
11211 | Ask Captain Lauder to come here?'' |
11211 | Aweel, I was not so young as I had been, and Mrs. Lauder-- you ken that she was travelling with me? |
11211 | But how are you going to get it again?" |
11211 | But it was obliging of Fritz-- now was n''t it? |
11211 | But some folk went to him and asked him would he no do his bit to cheer up the puir laddies in a hospital? |
11211 | But-- how had we got here? |
11211 | Can it be that ye ha''been to the war, man, and we not hearing of it, at all?" |
11211 | Could it be true? |
11211 | Do n''t you remember, Harry? |
11211 | Do you not wear anything underneath it?" |
11211 | Everywhere I had friends; everywhere they came crowding to shake me by the hand with a"How are you the day, Harry?" |
11211 | For the bairn will ask you, straightaway:''Did_ you_ fight in the great war, Grandpa? |
11211 | Gentlemen-- you''ll accept such hospitality as we can offer you at our officer''s mess?" |
11211 | Go out before an audience and seek to make it laugh? |
11211 | Ha''ye heard the tale of the Scotsman and the Jew? |
11211 | Ha''ye seen a''the men frae the wee but- an''-ben, And the gallants frae mansion and ha''?" |
11211 | Had he been one of those who had come through the attack, gloriously, to victory, so that he could look back upon that day so long as he lived? |
11211 | Had he folks at hame in Scotland who had gone through days of anguish on his account-- such days of anguish as I had known? |
11211 | Had he sent word to German warships of the plans and movements of British ships? |
11211 | Had he swept on, leaving that bit of his kilt as evidence of his passing? |
11211 | Had the Hun launched some new and terrible attack? |
11211 | Harry Lauder wants to go to France to sing for the soldiers? |
11211 | Have I told you how my boy looked? |
11211 | Have they kept Canada''s men, and America''s, from reaching France? |
11211 | He was an American-- would ye no know it from his speech? |
11211 | How can I laugh when my heart is breaking, and make others smile when the tears are in my eyes?" |
11211 | How comes it ye are here? |
11211 | How could a man get such a plea as that and not want to do what those laddies asked? |
11211 | How could he think of the great deal they were doing and not want to do the little bit they asked of him? |
11211 | How could you pass away your time if you had no work to do? |
11211 | How fared it with Britain in the war? |
11211 | How is a man to account for such things as that? |
11211 | How long did I lie there? |
11211 | How many of that old British army still survive? |
11211 | How was a mortal man to foresee? |
11211 | How was he to dream of it? |
11211 | How would you like old England or auld Scotland to be looking like that? |
11211 | How''s things in Blighty?" |
11211 | I thought they would be glad to see me, but how could I be sure? |
11211 | I wonder did those folk at Christchurch think I would keep the money and make a profit on that flag? |
11211 | I wonder if my boy is all right?" |
11211 | If he were not all right, how should he be there? |
11211 | If it was hard for us to make this climb, if we stumbled as we walked, what had it been for them? |
11211 | If there were tears in my eyes when they made me believe that, will you blame me? |
11211 | Is he to put them down to chance, to luck, to a blind fate? |
11211 | Many letters, did I say? |
11211 | Men there are in the British army who winked as they enlisted and were told:"You''ll be a Canadian?" |
11211 | Need we lash ourselves about him? |
11211 | Of course there were dangers-- where are there not along that strip of land that runs from the North Sea to Switzerland in France and Belgium? |
11211 | Or was he dead-- perhaps within a hundred yards of where I stood and gazed down at that relic of him? |
11211 | Our breath came hard and fast-- how had it been with them? |
11211 | Sing my songs when my heart was broken? |
11211 | Suppose the Germans came to Australia? |
11211 | That is rank superstition, you say? |
11211 | The refinements of life were lacking, to be sure-- but who cared? |
11211 | The submarines? |
11211 | The tin fish? |
11211 | There were moments when in my anguish I cried out, aloud:"Why? |
11211 | They get rid of the cooties-- you know what they are?" |
11211 | They will no doubt come again-- but when? |
11211 | Was I frightened? |
11211 | Was it for the last time? |
11211 | Was it no a trying situation? |
11211 | Was it out? |
11211 | Was that no a fine plan I had made for my son? |
11211 | Was that no a weird, strange game of hide and seek that I watched being played at Vimy Ridge? |
11211 | Was there a chance of that? |
11211 | We were not really supposed to give any roadside concerts that day, but how was I to resist them? |
11211 | We were talking of the war-- what else was there to talk aboot? |
11211 | Were there scattered ships, here and there, that might swoop down upon Australia''s shores and bring death and destruction with them? |
11211 | Were we seeing him now so strong and hale and hearty, only to have to go the rest of our lives with no more than a memory of him to keep? |
11211 | What did you do?'' |
11211 | What do you hope to gain?" |
11211 | What new tricks were the damned English up to now? |
11211 | What of the German navy? |
11211 | What would the boy be saying and having you do? |
11211 | When would John go out? |
11211 | When? |
11211 | Where would ye be going with me, anyway?" |
11211 | Who can tell how long it will be before the soil about Vimy Ridge will cease to give up its relics? |
11211 | Who had he been? |
11211 | Who shall blame them? |
11211 | Who would not trust the British navy, after the great deeds it has done in this war? |
11211 | Why did they have to take John, my boy-- my only child?" |
11211 | Why else had I been so sad and uneasy in my mind? |
11211 | Why else would we go on about our tasks? |
11211 | Why else, all through that Sunday, had it been so impossible for me to take comfort in what was said to cheer me? |
11211 | Why? |
11211 | Will he be nearer to me than now?" |
11211 | Would Britain be drawn in? |
11211 | Would I? |
11211 | Would be make a report? |
11211 | Would this war ever end? |
11211 | Ye ken that tale? |
11211 | Ye would think, would ye no, that they had enough of that in the trenches, where they got lumps and bruises and sorer hurts in the run of duty? |
11211 | You mind the place? |
11211 | Ze bloody Boche?" |
28926 | What shall we do? |
28926 | -- End of the Peninsula campaign-- Fifty or sixty thousand dead-- Who is responsible? |
28926 | -- End of the Peninsula campaign-- Fifty or sixty thousand dead-- Who is responsible? |
28926 | 11._--Will any body in this country have the patriotic courage to reform the army? |
28926 | 258_ Consummatum est!_-- Will the outraged people avenge itself? |
28926 | 92 What will McClellan do? |
28926 | And what is the army for? |
28926 | And where has Seward acquired all this information? |
28926 | Archbishop Hughes is to influence Paris and France,--but whom? |
28926 | Are his heart, his soul, and his convictions to be looked for in the debate, or in the proclamation? |
28926 | Are the European statesmen to be prepared beforehand, or are they to be befogged and prevented from judging for themselves? |
28926 | Are we already so far? |
28926 | But does Mr. Lincoln perceive other, more awful, signs of the times? |
28926 | But if the rebellion is crushed before January 1st, 1863, what then? |
28926 | But is that all which is needed in these terrible emergencies? |
28926 | But is this the condition of the Union? |
28926 | But will they have the energy? |
28926 | Can Seward be fool enough to irritate England, and entangle this country? |
28926 | Can Seward for a moment believe that Wikoff knows Europe, or has any influence? |
28926 | Can anybody be a more noble incarnation of the American people than J. S. Wadsworth? |
28926 | Can it be ignorance of this elementary knowledge with which is familiar every corporal in Europe? |
28926 | Can this man never go out from this rotten treadmill? |
28926 | Curious way of treating and dealing with rebellion, with rebels and traitors; why not arrest them? |
28926 | Do these mummies intend to conduct a war without boldness? |
28926 | Do they believe they can awake enthusiasm for their persons? |
28926 | Do they not know better here in the ministry and in the councils? |
28926 | Do they not know better? |
28926 | Do those Fabiuses know what they talk about? |
28926 | Does Seward believe it? |
28926 | Does he see the bloody handwriting on the wall, condemning his unnatural, vacillating, dodging policy? |
28926 | Has Scott used up his energy, his sense, and even his military judgment in defending Washington before the inauguration? |
28926 | Has he not studied Napoleon''s wars? |
28926 | Have they no blood; are they fishes? |
28926 | Here,_ our great rulers and ministers_ shut the more closely their mind''s(?) |
28926 | How are we to understand this man? |
28926 | How can the Minister of Foreign Affairs advise the President to resort to such a measure? |
28926 | How could it have been otherwise? |
28926 | How far the diplomats sent by the administration are prepared for this task? |
28926 | How will foreign nations behave? |
28926 | How will the Congress act? |
28926 | How will the people stand this masterly administrative demonstration? |
28926 | I am sure that McClellan may lose the whole army, and why not if he continues as he began? |
28926 | If he was so pugnacious in January, why has he not made with the same number of men a flying expedition only to Centreville, right under his nose? |
28926 | If the rebels turn loyal before that term? |
28926 | If the treasonable revolt is conceded to the Cotton States, on what ground can it be denied to the thus called Border States? |
28926 | Is Seward so ignorant of international laws, of general or special history, or was it only said to throw dust? |
28926 | Is he too old, or too much of a Virginian, or a hero on a small scale? |
28926 | Is it possible to say such trash even as a joke? |
28926 | Is that all that he knows of that hateful watchword-- strategy-- nausea repeated by every ignoramus and imbecile? |
28926 | Is there any thing in the world capable of opening this people''s eyes? |
28926 | Is there no penitentiary for all this mob? |
28926 | Is this man mad? |
28926 | Mr. Mercier retorted,"How can you, sir, have such notions? |
28926 | Mr. Seward, Mr. Seward, why is your name to be recorded among the most ardent supporters of this_ strategy_? |
28926 | O Mr. Seward, Mr. Seward, who is it that contributed to turn the current against the cause of right and of humanity? |
28926 | Of what earthly use can be such_ politique provocatrice_ towards England? |
28926 | Oh, why has he established his headquarters in the city, among flunkeys, wiseacres, and spit- lickers? |
28926 | Oh, why this Congress possesses not the omnipotence of an English Parliament? |
28926 | Or does his imagination or his patriotism carry him away or astray? |
28926 | Or is it only to give some money to a hungry, noisy, and not over- principled office- seeker? |
28926 | The men will come; but will statesmanship and generalship come with them? |
28926 | The rebels act in this manner; but what point was found out, what blows were ever dealt by McClellan? |
28926 | The vessel and the crew are excellent, and would easily obey the hand of a helmsman, but there is the rub, where to find him? |
28926 | This movement was perhaps necessary, and could not be avoided; but why at the start had such a basis been selected? |
28926 | Very well; but why not use for it the best, the most decided, and the most thorough means and measures? |
28926 | Was it ignorance in McClellan, or his inborn disrespect of truth, or disrespect of the country, or something worse, that made him make such a report? |
28926 | Was it neutral or honest? |
28926 | Was not some Union- searching at the bottom of that stoppage? |
28926 | Were the Magyars recognized as such in 1848-''49? |
28926 | What a thoughtlessness to press on Russia the convention of Paris? |
28926 | What an idea have those Americans of sending a secret agent to Canada, and what for? |
28926 | What are doing in Europe all these various agents of Mr. Seward, and paid by Uncle Sam? |
28926 | What can I do, what can I do? |
28926 | What can signify his close alliance with such outlaws as Wikoff and the Herald, and pushing that sheet to abuse England and Lord Lyons? |
28926 | What is the matter with Scott, or were the halo and incense surrounding him based on bosh? |
28926 | What is the matter? |
28926 | What is the use of urging on the foreign Cabinets-- above all, England and France-- to rescind the recognition of belligerents? |
28926 | What is this administration about? |
28926 | What is this wheel within a wheel? |
28926 | What sacrifice the official leaders and pilots? |
28926 | What the d---- is Seward with his politicians''policy? |
28926 | What will McClellan do? |
28926 | What will Mr. Seward say to it? |
28926 | What will Seward and Chase say to it, and even old Abe, who himself dreams of re- election, or at least his friends do it for him? |
28926 | What will be its march-- what stages? |
28926 | What will be the result of this experimentalization, so contrary to sound reason? |
28926 | What will he do with 600? |
28926 | What will the anglophiles of Boston say to this? |
28926 | When are his great plans to burst out? |
28926 | When will they begin to see through McClellan, and find out that he is not the man? |
28926 | When will they start, when begin to mould an army? |
28926 | When will we deal blows? |
28926 | When, oh, when will come the opposite? |
28926 | Which of the two will be Mr. Lincoln''s fate? |
28926 | Who around me approaches this ideal? |
28926 | Who is to be taken in? |
28926 | Why did not McClellan take_ the road_ himself, after Hooker was obliged to leave the field? |
28926 | Why does Mr. Seward dabble in war and strategy at home? |
28926 | Why does not the administration call for more on the North, and on the free States? |
28926 | Why shows he not a little_ strategy_ under his nose here? |
28926 | Why? |
28926 | Will Halleck warn the country against McClellan''s incapacity? |
28926 | Will McClellan display unity in conception, and vigor in execution? |
28926 | Will it be one more illusion to be dispelled? |
28926 | Will it turn out that the same men who are to- day at the head of affairs will be the men who shall bring to an end this revolt or revolution? |
28926 | Will the cowardly murderers be exemplarily punished? |
28926 | Will the shallow rhetors, will the would- be leaders in the Congress, be as subservient to the bunglers as they have been up to this hour? |
28926 | Will this McClellan ever advance? |
28926 | Will this outraged people avenge itself on the four or five diggers? |
28926 | Yes, Stanton is, but how about some others? |
28926 | _ Consummatum est!_-- Will the outraged people avenge itself? |
28926 | _ Quousque tandem_--O SEWARD--_abutere patientiam nostram?__ Sept. |
28926 | _ Who began the civil war?_ is repeatedly discussed by those quill cut- throats and allies on the Thames and on the Seine. |
28926 | all these Weeds, Sandfords, Hughes, Bigelows, and whoever else may be there? |
28926 | and, above all, what are the so expensive commander and his staff for? |
28926 | what are they about? |
46261 | Anything stirring? |
46261 | Are you ready to roll? |
46261 | Are your wounded ready? |
46261 | Hell,said the sentry;"he is n''t a bit proud, is he?" |
46261 | Much doing last night? |
46261 | One must live,said he,"and it''s very amiable of the Boches to keep us in fish with their_ marmites, n''est- ce pas, mon vieux_?" |
46261 | Well, when did you come over? |
46261 | What, is it my turn to roll? 46261 Where were you in the States?" |
46261 | _ Un blessé-- urgent?_ Hold your lantern up While I turn the damned machine! 46261 _"So the poor chap''s dead?" |
46261 | A voice from our American West began,"Say-- what kind of carburetors do you birds use?" |
46261 | And London, on being shown the stretcher arrangements of our cars, exclaimed,"That ai n''t so dusty,--eh, wot?" |
46261 | Did n''t any of the wounded come this way? |
46261 | Do you hear that shrapnel tune Twang through the frightened air? |
46261 | Do you remember the time he had two blow- outs and four punctures in twenty- four hours and then had all his brake- bands go at once? |
46261 | He addressed himself to Pottle:"Did he shake hands with you?" |
46261 | It was my design to leave at the beginning of the year, but why should I go? |
46261 | It was very impressive, and even my friend the gendarme said,"_ C''est chic, n''est- ce pas?_ It is the heaviest rain we have had for several days." |
46261 | My first question was:"_ Comment ça va avec le capitaine ce matin?_"All she said and could say was"_ Fini_." |
46261 | New England asked,"How many cars have you got?" |
46261 | Their homes, then, were in Boesinghe? |
46261 | Twice expelled and severed at the roots: where were they going now? |
46261 | Was not her husband away fighting and had not her eldest son been marked down as missing ever since his company took a German trench last June? |
46261 | Well...."Did I leave that spark- plug wrench under the car? |
46261 | When I get well, in two or three weeks, how would you like it for me to spend a week resting in some suburb of London? |
46261 | Why had they asked him to wait? |
46261 | Would they this time reach Calais or would they be pushed back? |
46261 | Wounded?" |
46261 | You know the last house down on the right- hand side? |
30264 | Ah? |
30264 | How long had I been there? |
30264 | How many are there? |
30264 | How? |
30264 | I suppose you are wondering about my waist? 30264 Well,"he said,"they''ve done everything they''ve said they have, have n''t they?" |
30264 | Where to? |
30264 | Why did I want to go away? |
30264 | Why had I come to Liége? |
30264 | ''s children are related by marriage to a high official of the Imperial Court? |
30264 | All that horror over again? |
30264 | All the famous hat shops were closed-- who would have a reason to buy hats? |
30264 | And I had to bear all that humiliation because-- well, why? |
30264 | And nobody was indignant, but rather complacent and obliging, for had they not all sons at the front and the same great grief at heart? |
30264 | And the valor of your Sons-- was it ever surpassed? |
30264 | And where are they going to, the poor things, with all roads in the country choked up, soldiers and trenches everywhere? |
30264 | But do the people who stay at home change like that? |
30264 | But how can he get away with the eye of the arrogant usurper on every corner and road? |
30264 | But is it barbarism and not rather the refined cruelty of civilization? |
30264 | But to what good? |
30264 | But was n''t it lucky I was here with André when the troops passed through our village? |
30264 | But why was he not in Russia as he was expected to be? |
30264 | But why"_ nicht weiter_"with the_ Herr Feld Marschall''s_ permission in our pocket? |
30264 | Can it hold out? |
30264 | Can it then be possible that the others we heard are true, too? |
30264 | Can she die? |
30264 | Can you imagine what it would be like? |
30264 | Can you understand what that means? |
30264 | Could it be that he had not enough to eat, or was it despair? |
30264 | Could we stay there on our knees in the water for many hours, perhaps days? |
30264 | Could you not make an especial effort to get it for me?" |
30264 | Could your Embassy aid me?" |
30264 | Did I explain that Liége is encircled by twelve forts, built about twenty- eight years ago under the personal direction of Général Brialmont? |
30264 | Did one of the hundreds, one of the thousands, one of the millions, hesitate the fraction of an instant at your call? |
30264 | Do I not know? |
30264 | Do n''t you think the crow would agree with me? |
30264 | Do you think that is amusing? |
30264 | Does battle blot out the soul of a man in one savage conflict? |
30264 | Does that not prove the inestimable value of earth- colored clothes? |
30264 | Does that not seem a terrible irony to be buried in one''s own trenches? |
30264 | Does this not bear out what the illustrious Roman said about the"Belgians,"which certainly did not exclude the women? |
30264 | Finally my inquisitor became suspicious, or feigned it, and said,"But what have I to prove that you are an American?" |
30264 | For what other reason is an American Consul if he is not to protect his people, particularly in wartime?" |
30264 | For whom? |
30264 | Fortunately for him, he was allowed to sleep in the hotel, but can you imagine what the anxiety of those twenty- four hours was? |
30264 | Had they been rash enough to protest against strength and did they want to share the fate of the pitiful Visé? |
30264 | Had we gone back twenty years instead? |
30264 | Has its owner been in hiding all these weeks or is he lying yet unburied among the friendly trees? |
30264 | Have I not experienced the mailed fist? |
30264 | How is it possible in a few days, with fifty- two forts in triple line? |
30264 | How is it that the whole house of cards falls down together? |
30264 | How shall a little nation bar the way Where that resistless host is borne along?__ You never thought, O! |
30264 | I pulled out the little white card and addressed him-- not too timidly either, for had n''t I the great American people behind me? |
30264 | I saw a little girl come out from the débris to draw water from a pump-- for what? |
30264 | I suppose you will say,"But why be so disturbed about things? |
30264 | If they do come--? |
30264 | In all these centuries of Struggle and Learning and Science and Dissent has nobody found a common leaven for bread? |
30264 | Is it not better then to remain a primitive, with a beautiful faith in the Sun- god? |
30264 | Is it the calm before the storm? |
30264 | Is it true? |
30264 | Is n''t it funny how we continue to deceive ourselves and life is a sham to the last throw? |
30264 | Is n''t it human nature to want to get out of prison? |
30264 | Is that not too horrible for words? |
30264 | Is that so little? |
30264 | Is the burden of her woes too great? |
30264 | It did not occur to me that there would be any difficulty about it, so I calmly asked him if he could get it for me by six o''clock to- night? |
30264 | It sounds wild, does n''t it? |
30264 | Just before it pulled out of the station, a friend of Comtesse de M. rushed up to the car window and said,"Madame, must you go? |
30264 | Monsieur J. attacked the captain with this question, as a leader,"when he thought the war would be over?" |
30264 | O,_ chère Soeur_, in your sweet faith, are stiffened jaws such a trivial circumstance? |
30264 | Prussian troops in khaki continue to pass; will they never cease? |
30264 | Shall I ever forget it? |
30264 | Shall I ever get away from that word? |
30264 | The Count burst into tears and cried,"Uncle, Uncle, wo n''t you speak to me? |
30264 | The Red Cross trains bear witness to tremendous battles somewhere-- but where? |
30264 | The stranger, however, was rather insistent and asked if she would rent the cow, then, for fifty francs an hour? |
30264 | Then the warm, brightly- lighted railroad station, opposite the pier, leaped into our numbed consciousness-- why had we not thought of it before? |
30264 | There seemed to be only one thing to say, which was,"Did you hear that?" |
30264 | They are expecting marching orders in the morning and are probably eager to ride on to victory(?). |
30264 | Was n''t that comical? |
30264 | Was she pleading for that mercy which drops as Her own gentle tears from Heaven? |
30264 | Was that not a clever way for a French Scout to find out the lie of the land? |
30264 | Was there ever a queerer offer? |
30264 | Was there ever such a wildly exciting ride, plunging through two battle lines( French and Belgian) into massed formations everywhere? |
30264 | What blight could have fallen on our children over night? |
30264 | What does it all mean? |
30264 | What kind of soldiers can it be that does these things, but brutes and barbarians? |
30264 | What other lone factor could bring about at the same moment, such circumstances, the absolute cessation of every living element of our existence? |
30264 | What was to be done? |
30264 | What will tomorrow bring forth? |
30264 | What words to find for this barbarism? |
30264 | Who can assert that it has not all been arranged for us? |
30264 | Who shall dare to say them nay? |
30264 | Why not? |
30264 | Why should one not know them? |
30264 | Why should they want his family portraits? |
30264 | Will a fatal arrow attain his charméd person? |
30264 | Will an eager Fate close them in? |
30264 | Will anything ever expiate the offense? |
30264 | Will she live? |
30264 | Will the daylight never come? |
30264 | Would you say,"Better to slip down in a swoon?" |
30264 | _ August 5th, Wednesday._ I wonder what you are thinking of events, at home? |
30264 | how are there men enough left after all these weeks of killing to continue a battle? |
49544 | Angry with you,I said,"why should I be angry if, as I suppose, you got the wound in honest fight against us? |
49544 | I really could n''t help it, Sir? 49544 When? |
49544 | Why have these stupid fellows sought shelter? |
49544 | Will you stick by me, Murray, and charge them? |
49544 | Would you prefer beer? |
49544 | Could I believe my eyes? |
49544 | Did not our horsemen overthrow the Gora regiment and the Hindustani risala? |
49544 | Did not the Jungie Lat Sahib[7] retire from the field after the battle? |
49544 | Did not we capture four of your guns and the standards of three of your regiments? |
49544 | Has he not been following me all along?" |
49544 | Here was a pretty dilemma; what was to be done now? |
49544 | Were not the 6th Dragoon Guards, the 60th Rifles, and the Horse Artillery Batteries within a couple of miles? |
49544 | Were there not three Hindu punkah- coolies in the verandah, and were not all their lives at the mercy of these miscreants? |
49544 | What could I do? |
49544 | What else could possibly be expected? |
49544 | What is it to me? |
49544 | Why should we hand all this wealth over to the prize agents? |
49544 | Would our two thousand bayonets have been adequate to occupy a circle of walls seven miles in length against an army of at least forty thousand men? |
41094 | Air- raid? |
41094 | And those two over there? |
41094 | Are the British preparing an attack near the coast? |
41094 | Are you Russian,_ effendim_? |
41094 | Beds? 41094 Food?" |
41094 | German? |
41094 | Good? |
41094 | Have you heard about Mr. Hayden, the English tailor? 41094 Have you seen General Allenby lately?" |
41094 | How about it? |
41094 | How about''X''.? |
41094 | Is the report true that General Allenby has left Palestine for France? |
41094 | Name? |
41094 | Really? |
41094 | Signal? |
41094 | Speak English? |
41094 | What can you desire to say, my dear? |
41094 | What''s Paris like now? |
41094 | What''s that? |
41094 | What, therefore, can we do, my friends? |
41094 | Why ask me then? |
41094 | Why come not English? 41094 Why the dyed moustache, and why this?" |
41094 | Wojer want? |
41094 | Would n''t you like,said M.,"to be away from this nightmare of a life and in a peaceful country like Egypt?" |
41094 | You always as keen in handling Hun war material? |
41094 | You are a English prisoner, not? |
41094 | _ Anglais?_repeated the young officer. |
41094 | _ Anglais?_said a young officer as he dismounted. |
41094 | _ Est- ce- que les Anglais viendront bientôt?_said the young officer who had first spoken. |
41094 | _ Niet; Monsieur Belaef._"_ Droug Vladimir Ivanovitch Wilkowsky?_He gave me a long look, smiled, and said under his breath:"Yes, meester." |
41094 | _ Qui sait?_"_ Moi, je l''espère bien, parce que je suis Arménien. 41094 _ Russky vapor Batoum?_"I asked in pidgin- Russian. |
41094 | _ So!_ And now, what do you expect? |
41094 | _ Wir wollen keine Englander._We were about to move on, when--"_Was gibt''s?_"called a Feldwebel as he stepped from the truck. |
41094 | Airerplanes we attack mostly on the longeerongs-- those ribs o''wood that runs dahn the length uv the body, ai n''t they? |
41094 | Being a Turk, he continued, why was he kept in a room with Englishmen, who were his enemies and wanted to hurt him? |
41094 | But what could he do? |
41094 | Carncher read it? |
41094 | Could it be that the Turks treated their prisoners well instead of badly? |
41094 | Could we make use of these sentiments in planning an escape? |
41094 | Each man in turn was asked:"Would you prefer a hot bath or a cold?" |
41094 | Each morning the doctor walked once round the ward, said to each patient:"_ Bonjour, ça va bien?_"signed the diet sheets, and left us. |
41094 | For his third attempt, who could blame him for taking as companion a German officer''s horse, since Allah had sent such a wonderful gift? |
41094 | Furniture?" |
41094 | Had the gods left_ no_ loop- hole? |
41094 | Have n''t you heard of the gold at''X'', of a certain Arab emir and of certain British officers?" |
41094 | He clicked his heels, bowed from the waist upward, and inquired:"Hauptmann Bott?" |
41094 | How would you like to take the job now?" |
41094 | If he were about, on whatever night we fixed for our escape, how could we climb down to the ground unobserved? |
41094 | If the Pasha says to me:''What have you learned from these prisoners?'' |
41094 | S.?" |
41094 | Surely it could not be White, whom I had last seen running through the streets of Koum- kapou, in a perfectly respectable suit of Red Cross clothes? |
41094 | The Greek contractor''s sons, are n''t you?" |
41094 | The coast? |
41094 | Then, after a puzzled pause:"Where have you been?" |
41094 | Trial by taste was evidently the custom; and since Allah had provided hands and mouths, why use forks and spoons? |
41094 | Turks? |
41094 | Was I getting better and would I like some wine sent to me? |
41094 | Was it true that the British were friendly to the Arabs, and gave their Arab prisoners all sorts of privileges not given to the Turkish prisoners? |
41094 | Was it true, he asked( the Jew acting as interpreter), that the British intended to give Arabia and part of Syria to the Arabs? |
41094 | Why, then, had he troubled to ask my opinion if I could ride for three hours? |
41094 | Will you be so kind as to let me go to a small room where I can remain alone?" |
41094 | Wo ist mein Pferd?_"The Sanitätsunteroffizier motioned our guide to turn round, and we retraced our path. |
41094 | Would I be kind enough to give him my word of honour not to try to escape while in his charge? |
41094 | Would I honour the officers by joining them at dinner? |
51803 | How? |
51803 | Howdy, stranger? |
51803 | Howdy? |
51803 | Sure it''s not some of the Yankees? |
51803 | Then she is a resident here, and there is no danger of their being spies? |
51803 | This is your most direct route, is it not? |
51803 | What''s up? |
51803 | Where? |
51803 | Will you kindly tell those gentlemen who I am? 51803 You do n''t expect to sit here with it all day, do you?" |
51803 | How can you succeed where they and all the others have failed?" |
51803 | In reply to his"What ere''want, stranger?" |
51803 | Will you tell me what regiment this is? |
22584 | An''ef I''m loyil, I''m same as you''uns? |
22584 | And why not? |
22584 | But he does not appear, I suppose? |
22584 | But is it usual,I queried,"for you gentlemen to refuse promotion when offered-- I do n''t mean to not seek it-- to remain with your old companies? |
22584 | Can you get in here, sir? |
22584 | Did it ever strike you,said the colonel, waxing philosophic,"that you_ ca n''t_ dine in but two places south of the Potomac? |
22584 | Hard to believe, sir, is n''t it? 22584 Have you paid your fare?" |
22584 | How far astern? |
22584 | How is it you have n''t your commission? |
22584 | How you fine zat, eh? 22584 I''d show well at the club-- portrait of a gentleman?" |
22584 | Indeed? |
22584 | It_ would_ go well with that stew, taken out of a tin cup-- eh, cookey? |
22584 | Mussput--_hic_--fi dollus on- jack? |
22584 | Next quadwille, Miss Wose? |
22584 | No? 22584 That''s what the council this evening meant?" |
22584 | The President is at this house? |
22584 | Wa''dat yo''s sain''now? |
22584 | Waffer, Mars''Sam? |
22584 | Wail then,rejoined Johnny Reb slowly,"did n''t them darned rebs jest geen us hell sometimes?" |
22584 | We''re all good Union alike, eh? |
22584 | What are you doing here? |
22584 | What do I wish? |
22584 | What do I wish? |
22584 | What do you think Bendann would give for a negative of me? |
22584 | What would''the house''do? 22584 What''s the Washington news?" |
22584 | When do I start? |
22584 | When do you start? |
22584 | Will she overtake us, Cap''n? |
22584 | Will your government use force to supply Fort Sumter? |
22584 | Work for the government? |
22584 | Yes, for the South? 22584 Yo allus calls de Gen''ral--_Weel_-er?" |
22584 | Yo''say Ise jess ekal as yo''is? |
22584 | ''Bold and erect the Caledonian stood,''but how long do you think he would have been''bold,''if they had stewed his''rare beef''for him? |
22584 | --"Has Bragg commenced business?" |
22584 | --"What about Tennessee convention?" |
22584 | And pray why?" |
22584 | And through it rose a hoarse whisper, swelling at last into angry query, why had the campaign miscarried? |
22584 | And what are your new duties?" |
22584 | And why not? |
22584 | Anxious knots were at every station and water tank, and not overclean hands were thrust into the windows, with the cry:"Airy paper?" |
22584 | But does yo''say dat Ise good as missus?--_my_ missus?" |
22584 | But is that proud flag-- with the glory and the pride wrought into its folds, by suffering, honor and endurance unexcelled-- really"furled forever?" |
22584 | But were these worn and wretched men a fair sample of the army that was to battle for their dear city against the fresh thousands of McClellan? |
22584 | But, said the dancers, we do the fighting-- we are the ones who are killed-- and if we do n''t object, why in the deuce should you? |
22584 | CHAPTER XXVI.--The Failure of Finance 223- 229 Was Cotton really King? |
22584 | Can any candid thinker analyze these results and then believe Grant a strategist-- a great soldier-- anything but a pertinacious fighter? |
22584 | Captain Wyatt, A.A.G.--demnition neat, eh? |
22584 | Did anybody ever make connection there? |
22584 | Did you hear that_ mustang_ colonel? |
22584 | Do n''t it bring back our dinners at the Spanish legation? |
22584 | Do n''t yer want''er go for a sojer?" |
22584 | Do n''t you wonder how we ever dare to declare ourselves old enough?" |
22584 | Do they not illustrate the character of the navy, and bring it out in bold relief of heroism? |
22584 | Early in secession days, a bombastic friend approached Colonel Tom, with the query:"Well, sir, I presume your voice is still for war?" |
22584 | Eh? |
22584 | Evening boat, March 4th? |
22584 | Has History a Parallel? |
22584 | How can men legislate-- how can men fight with a pound of stewed abomination holding them like lead? |
22584 | If Government will on any pretext ignore one- third of its obligation, what guarantee have we for the other two? |
22584 | Is it a go?" |
22584 | Lots of southern members leaving already"--and Knower''s voice sunk to a whisper--"and would you believe it? |
22584 | Men looked at each other through the gloom, and even as they asked--"Brother, what of the night?" |
22584 | One day, at the St. Charles, a resident stopped him on the way to their accustomed table:"Have you seen these people eat?" |
22584 | She stopped in mid- waltz; touched my friend on the broidered chevron with taper fingers, and sweetly said:"Captain, may I trouble you to dismount?" |
22584 | So I answered the question by another:"What are you going to do when you get there?" |
22584 | So hist him along, will yer?" |
22584 | Some one has Blundered? |
22584 | Swallowing the obnoxious allegiance, he turned to the Federal officer and quietly asked:"Wail, an''now I reck''n I''m loyil, ai n''t I?" |
22584 | Taking title, eh? |
22584 | The generals past, an aide spurred up to the toilet- making vet, and queried sharply:"Did n''t you see the generals, sir? |
22584 | The other adding:"You doubt it? |
22584 | Then, to be as good as my word, I sold some cotton and some stock, equipped this company and--_voila tout!_""But you are not commanding your company?" |
22584 | They had left affluence, luxury, the caresses of home-- and, harder than all, the habits of society-- for what? |
22584 | Toward her sallied the flippant young underling, with the greeting:"Well, madam, what do_ you_ wish?" |
22584 | Was Johnston hounded to His Death? |
22584 | Was it a wonder that I then and there swore at that fireman, as only meek and long- suffering men, when aroused, can swear? |
22584 | Was it the punch? |
22584 | Was n''t he, Styles? |
22584 | Was she a new Sodom? |
22584 | Were not their sons, and husbands, and brothers, really a part of them? |
22584 | Were these the only dependence of their hopes and their cause? |
22584 | What do you say? |
22584 | What in thunder are you doing?" |
22584 | What is it, adjutant?" |
22584 | Where did he get that idea? |
22584 | Where does history show more stirring motives for poetry? |
22584 | Where were the Leaders? |
22584 | Whether the monotonous stretches of pine barren depress mentally, or frequent recurring"ager"prostrates physically, who shall say? |
22584 | Who did More than They? |
22584 | Who does not remember"Beechenbrook,"that pure Vestal in the temple of Mars? |
22584 | Who has not heard of the First Virginia? |
22584 | Who in all that goodly throng of soldiers, statesmen and critics-- did more? |
22584 | Who in army, or government, did not? |
22584 | Who in the South does not honor it? |
22584 | Who shall justly calculate the influence the lobby and its workings had in hastening that inevitable, the war between the states? |
22584 | Who will stop that mighty whirligig to inspect whether the champagne is real, or the turtle is prime? |
22584 | Who, that was in it, will ever forget that bitter night? |
22584 | Why do n''t you speak English, instead of saying''wah yo''is''?" |
22584 | Why had General Lee been forced into battle on ground of the enemy''s choosing? |
22584 | Why had he fought the whole Yankee army with one division? |
22584 | Why had the campaign failed? |
22584 | Why on Pursuit? |
22584 | Why should the best blood of Carolina do more than the best blood of Virginia?" |
22584 | Why was Victory not Pushed? |
22584 | Why, what''ll become of our business if they move the Capital? |
22584 | Why_ do n''t_ they behave themselves? |
22584 | Will the cute Yankee of New England submit to be ruined, and starved, and taxed in addition? |
22584 | Will the great commercial metropolis let the grass grow in her streets and the vessels rot at her wharves, that once laughed with southern cotton? |
22584 | Would There be a Long War-- or any? |
22584 | Would n''t that make a show on a waxed floor?" |
22584 | Would you stay in the ranks as a private when as a captain or major you might do better service?" |
22584 | Wy, we''uns kem hyah ter fight th''Yanks; an''ef you''uns skeer''un off, how''n thunder ez thar goan ter be a scrimmidge, no how?" |
22584 | Yer married his sister Cynthy-- the one as squints? |
22584 | You do n''t mean Miss Mamie on Charles street, do you? |
22584 | You remember her that night at Mrs. R.''s fancy ball?" |
22584 | _ Que voulez vous?_ Pork is mighty! |
22584 | any news from home?" |
22584 | asked a splendid fellow leaning on an ax, the rapid strokes of which he stilled at my approach--"Not a half bad thing for a fancy ball, eh?" |
22584 | cheerily responded the youth, rising from his seat--"Have you got a leg for me, too?" |
22584 | cried a baldheaded man from the fire--"Don''t your heart rise at the scent of this_ olla_, my boy? |
22584 | was the bland query--"Pray what was it?" |
22584 | what are my principles to you? |
22584 | with a war in the land must people enjoy themselves? |
22584 | you did? |
13202 | Ai n''t your name Sam? |
13202 | Are they spies? |
13202 | Can anybody tell me whar them Yanks are? 13202 Did you ever look?" |
13202 | Did you have horns, Uncle Zack? |
13202 | Hello, Lee, what does Cleburne say the Yankees are doing at Jonesboro? |
13202 | Hello,says Hood,"Whar in the Dickens and Tom Walker are them Yanks, hey? |
13202 | How do you know then? |
13202 | How do you sell it? |
13202 | How much is your fish worth? |
13202 | Lee, ask Cleburne if he feels feinty? 13202 Now, where are you, Johnny Reb? |
13202 | WHAT IS THIS REBEL DOING HERE? |
13202 | Well, Uncle Zack, what sort of a looking lamb were you? |
13202 | Well, after you got to heaven, what did you do then? |
13202 | Well, how often did they shear the lambs, Uncle Zack? |
13202 | Well, sir, that''s too thin; why did you not get a pass? |
13202 | Well, what color were the lambs, Uncle Zack? |
13202 | Were there no old rams or ewes among them? |
13202 | What command do you belong to, sir? |
13202 | What is it, boss? |
13202 | What is that you say? |
13202 | What is the matter? 13202 What regiment are you from?" |
13202 | What regiment do you belong to? |
13202 | What regiment is your detail from? |
13202 | What''s the matter now? |
13202 | What? |
13202 | You are whipped, are n''t you? |
13202 | 200, are you?" |
13202 | 200?" |
13202 | AM PROMOTED"Why, hello, corporal, where did you get those two yellow stripes from on your arm?" |
13202 | After the fighting was over, where, O where, was all the fine rigging heretofore on our officers? |
13202 | Ah, ha, have you stacked your arms for a surrender?" |
13202 | Am I mistaken? |
13202 | And then to hear some fellow ask,"Why ai n''t you with them, then, you cowardly puppy? |
13202 | And what wonder that General Bragg''s name became a terror to deserters and evil doers? |
13202 | Any news or letters that you wish carried home? |
13202 | Approaching Sergeant A. S. Horsley, he said,"Vy ish you got nodings mit your knapsack? |
13202 | Are we going to be captured? |
13202 | Are we worthy to be called the sons of old Maury county? |
13202 | As soon as he saw me, he said,"Who have you there-- a prisoner, or a deserter?" |
13202 | Ask him how a fellow feels when he feints?" |
13202 | BATTLE OF RESACCA Well, you want to hear about shooting and banging, now, gentle reader, do n''t you? |
13202 | Did I see my comrades buried and see the violet and wild flowers bloom over their graves? |
13202 | Did I see our country laid waste and in ruins? |
13202 | Did I see soldiers marching, the earth trembling and jarring beneath their measured tread? |
13202 | Did I see the flag of my country, that I had followed so long, furled to be no more unfurled forever? |
13202 | Did I see the ruins of smouldering cities and deserted homes? |
13202 | Did I see those brave and noble countrymen of mine laid low in death and weltering in their blood? |
13202 | Did my eyes deceive me? |
13202 | Do you recollect in that year, for the first time in your life, of hearing Dixie and the Bonnie Blue Flag? |
13202 | Do you think we can take them? |
13202 | Does He who noteth the sparrow''s fall, and numbers the hairs of our heads, have any interest in one like ourselves? |
13202 | EATING MUSSELS Reader, did you ever eat a mussel? |
13202 | EIGHTEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY- ONE Reader mine, did you live in that stormy period? |
13202 | Every man I met had a furlough; in fact, it seemed to have the very double- extract of romance about it--"fur too, eh?" |
13202 | Every one who passed would be hailed with,"Well, what news from the front?" |
13202 | Finally, he closed the book with a slam and started off, and said I,"Did you want to find out my name?" |
13202 | From what command? |
13202 | Hans, vat fer ish dot shooting mit mein left wing? |
13202 | Happening to catch sight of me, he asked,"What is this Rebel doing here?" |
13202 | He had no nerves, or rather, has a rock or tree any nerves? |
13202 | He rode on down the road toward me, and when he had approached,"Who goes there?" |
13202 | He took Alf''s knapsack and on opening it, what do you suppose was in it? |
13202 | Here is a sample of the colloquy that followed:"Mister, have some butter?" |
13202 | Here was the field, and here were the roastingears; but where was the raft or canoe? |
13202 | How many of those 120 original members are with the company today? |
13202 | How much more valuable are we than many sparrows? |
13202 | I asked several other fellows what in the dickens did all this mean? |
13202 | I asked the litter corps,"Who have you there?" |
13202 | I could not help thinking all the time,"Ai n''t that old woman dead yet?" |
13202 | I opened my eyes, and asked,"Who are you?" |
13202 | I ran to the road and asked them what was the matter? |
13202 | I said,"When? |
13202 | I thought that I recognized the voice in the darkness-- and said I,"Who are you?" |
13202 | I turned away and thought how long, how long will I have to witness these things? |
13202 | I walked on as if I was just relieved, and had passed their lines, when I turned back, and says I,"Captain, what guard is this?" |
13202 | I went back, and says I,"Who fired those two shots?" |
13202 | In looking back over these pages, I ask, Where now are many whose names have appeared in these sketches? |
13202 | In the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and sixty- one, do you remember those stirring times? |
13202 | Is it a bargain?" |
13202 | Is it true that I have seen all these things? |
13202 | Is that some high office? |
13202 | Is your army going to advance on us?" |
13202 | Ish dot der Repels, Hans? |
13202 | JOHN WHITTAKER THEN COMES THE FARCE PALMETTO JEFF DAVIS MAKES A SPEECH ARMISTICE ONLY IN NAME A SCOUT WHAT IS THIS REBEL DOING HERE? |
13202 | John says,"Madam, do you want that dog killed, sure enough?" |
13202 | Johnny answered,"What do you want?" |
13202 | Meynheer Dutchman comes out; and says,"Ish dot so? |
13202 | Not who was the best general, or colonel, or captain-- but"who ranked?" |
13202 | Now, reader, what do you suppose that negro was doing? |
13202 | Now, we tagged first, why do n''t you tag back? |
13202 | Now, what became of the original 3,200? |
13202 | Or have we fought in vain? |
13202 | Preacher, ai n''t that old woman dead yet?" |
13202 | Reader, I ask you who you think was to blame? |
13202 | Reader, were you ever held in reserve of an attacking army? |
13202 | Say, captain, say, if yet my task be done? |
13202 | Says I,"Are you speaking to me?" |
13202 | Says I,"Colonel Field, what''s the matter? |
13202 | Says I,"Galbreath, what are you making a fool of yourself that way for? |
13202 | Says I,"What is the long roll for?" |
13202 | Says I:"Madam, how do you sell your eggs?" |
13202 | Says he,"What''s this? |
13202 | Stewart, do you think you will be able to get through with your job of blowing up by day after tomorrow, or by Saturday at twelve o''clock? |
13202 | Take off that coat and those chicken guts; coo, sheep; baa, baa, black sheep; flicker, flicker; ai n''t you ashamed of yourself? |
13202 | That''s your plan, is it? |
13202 | The whole army is routed and running; had n''t you better be getting away from here? |
13202 | Then I said,"Wright, why do n''t you jump out of that wagon and run?" |
13202 | Then you take it up to the general; the guard stops you in a very formal way, and asks,"What do you want?" |
13202 | Then, said he,"What is your name?" |
13202 | They answered,"Matter enough; yonder are the Yankees, are you infantry fellows going to make a stand here?" |
13202 | To hear some of our boys ask,"What regiment is that? |
13202 | We are not supported; what is the matter? |
13202 | We halted but a moment, and said I,"Colonel, where are you wounded?" |
13202 | We will get millions of dollars by robbery alone, do n''t you see?" |
13202 | Well, Yank, why do n''t you come on and take us? |
13202 | Well, what news? |
13202 | Well, what was to be done? |
13202 | Well, what''s the matter now? |
13202 | Well, you have come here to fight us; why do n''t you come on? |
13202 | Were they true men? |
13202 | What are you going to do about it? |
13202 | What could I do? |
13202 | What could we do? |
13202 | What do you suppose he was doing? |
13202 | What does that mean? |
13202 | What does this yell mean? |
13202 | What is the matter? |
13202 | What next? |
13202 | What regiment is that?" |
13202 | What was I to do? |
13202 | What was it worth?" |
13202 | What''s the matter? |
13202 | What? |
13202 | When I could hold in no longer, I laughed out, and said,"Well, Walter, what luck last night?" |
13202 | Where are many of my old friends and comrades, whose names were so familiar at every roll call, and whose familiar"Here"is no more? |
13202 | Where are they tonight? |
13202 | Where were our generals? |
13202 | Who are they? |
13202 | Why do n''t you let us hear the cannon''s opening roar? |
13202 | Why do n''t you rattle a few old muskets over there at us? |
13202 | Why do n''t you unbottle your thunderbolts and dash us to pieces? |
13202 | Why? |
13202 | Will this pay you for your hog?" |
13202 | Y''S YOU GOT MY HOG? |
13202 | Yank says,"What you doing, Johnny?" |
13202 | Yank would halloo over and say,"Well, Johnny, have you got everything across?" |
13202 | You are going to starve us out, eh? |
13202 | You say,"Well, General, what is the matter with it?" |
13202 | You''ve got the dry grins, arn''t you? |
13202 | [ Author''s note: In the Southern army the question was, who ranked? |
13202 | are they being enacted today? |
13202 | did they happen? |
13202 | did you have wings?" |
13202 | flour bread? |
13202 | halt after today''s victory? |
13202 | is that so?" |
13202 | or are they the fancies of the imagination in forgetful reverie? |
13202 | that they are real incidents in my life''s history? |
13202 | vare ish Shineral Mackferson, eh? |
13202 | we''re coming, coming, look out, do n''t you see us coming? |
13202 | were they eating grass?" |
13202 | what is that? |
13202 | who goes there?" |
13202 | who goes there?" |
52656 | Well, what are you doing here? |
52656 | Where are you from? |
52656 | Coming to a stand in front of me he saluted and asked in excellent English, with an American accent,"Are you the captain of this vessel?" |
52656 | Even if the German crew had released them at the last moment, what chance did they have of being saved? |
52656 | He came down the deck to where there were several of the passengers standing and asked:"Does anybody belong to these things?" |
52656 | I told him that it was rotten and told him why; Rose merely pulled that Prussian smile of his and said:"What do you expect? |
52656 | Our lady prisoners immediately commenced playing a game of"button, button, who''s got the button?" |
52656 | So and So, wo n''t you come to my room for a minute? |
52656 | Somebody asked Rose why he did n''t introduce us to his friend, and Rose answered:"What do you think I am-- a fool?" |
52656 | The great question now was"What next?" |
52656 | There is another point to consider: why did Nerger and his officers continually assure us that the womenfolk should be landed shortly? |
52656 | Thinking this I fell asleep and at 6:30 A.M. of February 25th( shall I ever forget the date?) |
37331 | ''And you?'' |
37331 | ''Are n''t you one now?'' |
37331 | ''But how?'' |
37331 | ''Come back all right, then?'' |
37331 | ''Do you mean----?'' |
37331 | ''Do you remember that chap who kept us all awake in barracks, talking of it?'' |
37331 | ''Do you want a green envelope?'' |
37331 | ''Hear that?'' |
37331 | ''Is there time? |
37331 | ''The Army?'' |
37331 | ''The last you did read?'' |
37331 | ''The literary ones?'' |
37331 | ''Then how do you account for it?'' |
37331 | ''Then it would n''t be much of a gift, would it?'' |
37331 | ''What''s the best yarn you ever read?'' |
37331 | ''Who is your favourite author?'' |
37331 | ''Why was_ I_ there?'' |
37331 | ''Why, that must be nearly ten pounds a night, sir?'' |
37331 | ( four copies), or even the books these titles stood for in the typewritten catalogue that arrived( from Paris) too late to entertain us? |
37331 | --I turned to the last comer--''if it is n''t a rude question?'' |
37331 | And how much joy had they given in their lodgings or behind the shop? |
37331 | And if any link was of His forging, why not the whole chain, as two thankful people dare to think? |
37331 | And what sensation novelist would build a plot on such foundations and hope to make his tale convincing? |
37331 | And yet-- and yet--_was_ it his grave that had been found? |
37331 | Another chunk off the stump of the once delicate and dizzy belfry, what did it signify unless the chunk came through our roof? |
37331 | Are there no gramophone records of such things? |
37331 | As the cricketer said about the yorker, what else can you call him? |
37331 | But what better than a gateway to give a man his bearings? |
37331 | But what was there to say to such a pair? |
37331 | But who inspired them? |
37331 | But, in the day of battle, could there have been a better sight than this potential band of bush- rangers and demon bowlers? |
37331 | Did it begin in South Africa? |
37331 | Did we waste time talking about it, discussing our chances, or mildly anathematising our last- straw luck? |
37331 | He it was who, in his early days in France, had heavily inquired:''Who be this''ere Fritz they be arl tarkin''about?'' |
37331 | He said:''But surely there must be somebody in the Battalion that you could take with you, to identify the place?'' |
37331 | He was making his will in his field pocket- book; could I tell him how to spell the pretty name of one of his little daughters? |
37331 | He was now out here in his grave; but which of them was not? |
37331 | I could almost hear his eager question:''Is everybody all right?'' |
37331 | Is it that in their thoroughgoing way they strip starker than any, where all go as naked as my Canadian friend declared? |
37331 | It may: and if a man has no personality of his own, will he be so much the worse for the composite substitute to be acquired in the Army? |
37331 | OTHER OLD FELLOWS It was pleasant one morning to hear a sudden voice at my elbow:''How''s the Rest Hut?'' |
37331 | One lucky flourish with the bones, one more addition to these sharp- edged shell- holes, and how many of the party would have a groan left in him? |
37331 | Put your hands up?'' |
37331 | Some of them, indeed, took the opportunity of speaking for themselves; and who had a better right? |
37331 | What guide could I have hoped to get to show me all I wished to see, and what could I have seen or done without a guide? |
37331 | What were we going to do? |
37331 | Who had brought him to my side-- at the last moment-- the very man I wanted-- the one man needful? |
37331 | Who had brought us? |
37331 | Who had ever been prouder of them than their comrades, or done so much to''bring them out''? |
37331 | Who had prompted or inspired those directly responsible for our being there? |
37331 | Who had so beautifully arranged the whole difficult thing? |
37331 | Why had I not gone to Belgium( to be near the boy) as I at first intended? |
37331 | Why not that night? |
37331 | Will anything of the kind happen to- day? |
37331 | Will it be taken? |
37331 | Would I mind looking it all over, and seeing if it would do? |
37331 | Yet what is he to do, when he gets a beauty from one whose boots he is unfit to black? |
37331 | Yet, need I say it? |
37331 | You know how I wear my helmet, with the strap behind? |
37331 | _ Had he now?_... |
37331 | _ Was_ the evidence as good as it seemed? |
37331 | a canny bit o''money, sir?'' |
37331 | who have undergone similar sensations at their baptism of fire? |
41324 | Beg pardon, sir? |
41324 | Did n''t I tell you we''d shoot one off to show''em who''s who? |
41324 | Drinkin''salt water, eh? |
41324 | For God''s sake, save me----"Ca n''t you swim? |
41324 | So long as you feel that way, it''s fortunate this letter came for you this morning, is n''t it? |
41324 | We figured what a lot we''d have to talk about on that camping trip, eh? |
41324 | Well, well, so you are to be a Matron, are you? |
41324 | What ship have I hit? |
41324 | What''s bitin''you all? |
41324 | What''s happened? |
41324 | What''s that to you? |
41324 | What''s this? |
41324 | Where is it you want to go, sir? |
41324 | Where is your captain? |
41324 | Where''s McCaffrey? |
41324 | Why not join the British army? |
41324 | Why not join the British ranks? |
41324 | Will you ask an American officer aboard the Man- o''-War to come aboard the British Hospital ship and speak with an American woman? |
41324 | Will you let us wish on you? |
41324 | You did n''t stand by just because I volunteered to, did you? |
41324 | _ No Recreation Party what''s er matter?_he hollered. |
41324 | _ Where is your captain?_Then it was that little Tucker, sitting forward, tense, leaned far out and yelled:"Douse yer glim, Cap, douse yer glim. |
41324 | After all, seventeenth is n''t so far down the line, now is it? |
41324 | At last we could read it, it spelled:"What are you doing,--bringing Brooklyn Bridge over with you?" |
41324 | But that is side- stepping my story, is n''t it? |
41324 | But, yes, fifteen times so far, and what of that? |
41324 | Ca n''t you see it? |
41324 | Could I qualify in her eyes for a post at the front? |
41324 | Could I reach him? |
41324 | Did they utter a word of complaint? |
41324 | Did we pump hell into her from our stern gun? |
41324 | Did we sleep well? |
41324 | Do n''t they give you salt baths and charge you a stiff price? |
41324 | Do you blame them? |
41324 | Do you know how they done it? |
41324 | Do you remember wondering how such heroes came to be born as the men of the"Light Brigade,"who rode without a quiver straight into the jaws of hell? |
41324 | Do you think they left their ship? |
41324 | Ever see an oil collier? |
41324 | Ever see men who have faced death in a leaky boat all through a black night? |
41324 | He could n''t have paid me less, but what difference did it make to me? |
41324 | How did they protect themselves? |
41324 | How did we feel? |
41324 | How do you think? |
41324 | How long did she think the war would last? |
41324 | How many men could she send across at once? |
41324 | Is that straight?" |
41324 | It extended about a foot out of water and was visible only a few seconds, but say, did he let out a yell? |
41324 | It looked busy and prosperous and warlike to me-- but gay? |
41324 | Naturally it meant work and lots of it, but why stay in the"pick- and- shovel"class if you do n''t have to? |
41324 | Not bad, eh? |
41324 | Now I ask you, was n''t that rum luck? |
41324 | Now, that''s not bad, is it? |
41324 | Pullmans? |
41324 | Say, do I want to go over again? |
41324 | That was making history, was n''t it? |
41324 | Then secondly, was n''t I Irish, which meant gettin''into any scrap that was goin'', so help me? |
41324 | WARRANT CARPENTER HOYT SPEAKS: THE FLOWER OF FRANCE EVER see those red poppies that grow by the roadside in France? |
41324 | Was I glad to see the good old American flag? |
41324 | Was n''t I getting out of that all- fired hot country? |
41324 | Were we glad to get ashore? |
41324 | What can you do with people like that? |
41324 | What chance had they? |
41324 | What did our country hope to do? |
41324 | What did we do? |
41324 | What if it had been me own kid? |
41324 | What was the use? |
41324 | When is a hero not a hero? |
41324 | Which one? |
41324 | Why not? |
41324 | Why would n''t it, with eighty- three barrels of oil on board? |
41324 | Would I be after lettin''him see that I''d be givin''up all hope? |
41324 | Wounded? |
41324 | You know about that little party at Vera Cruz last year? |
41324 | and not enough of either to last much longer-- and then what? |
45568 | Captain, are you sure? 45568 D''ye hear that? |
45568 | Is little Gus alive? |
45568 | Was it possible that such happiness could be mine? |
45568 | Where is Sam? |
45568 | Why do n''t that man hold that gun_ properly_? |
45568 | Why, do n''t you know? 45568 Yes, you may be a corporal, but where is your squad?" |
45568 | Are they all well?" |
45568 | Can the Third Corps men endure it? |
45568 | Did we not charge to its thrilling strains? |
45568 | Did you ever walk twenty miles in a day? |
45568 | Do n''t you know that war is a suspension of the Ten Commandments?" |
45568 | Had an improvident comrade devoured his three days''rations prematurely? |
45568 | Has she seen them lately? |
45568 | I then began to ask myself:"Would I ever again have soft bread every day?" |
45568 | Is n''t_ that_ squad enough for you?" |
45568 | Is there any intoxication like the joy of victory? |
45568 | Joe held out the newly adorned arm, exclaiming,"Is not_ that_ corporal enough for you?" |
45568 | Look at the disgraceful condition of this musket!--of what use would such a weapon be if we should be called into action?" |
45568 | Pointing to the advancing masses, he says,--"Do you see those lines? |
45568 | Taking it from its owner and holding it out before us all, he said sternly,--"Corporal, what sort of an example is this to set before the company? |
45568 | The constant question in our hearts was,"What will the folks at home say about us?" |
45568 | The voice of this spirit asked insistently,"Why do you not go to the war?" |
45568 | The watchful major anxiously asked:"What is that? |
45568 | They all walked slowly and wearily and if you asked one of them,"How is the battle going?" |
45568 | Was it that, or was it the gloom of the apparently endless conflict which had entered his soul? |
45568 | Was not martial music the soldier''s inspiration? |
45568 | Was the sacrifice worth while? |
45568 | We often marched day after day until we fairly lost track of time and you might hear a dialogue like the following:"Bill, what day is this?" |
45568 | Were we to prove it once more? |
45568 | What of the band in the day of battle? |
45568 | Who is talking out there?" |
45568 | Yet there was strange mystery abroad: everywhere a weird sound-- was it of sorrow or of foreboding, nature''s wail or nature''s warning? |
45568 | You would hear one and another say:"Captain, is n''t there one for me?" |
45568 | and the answering jeer of his comrades:"Jim, did you hear what that one said? |
45568 | is that so? |
45828 | And who will do your work while you are gone? |
45828 | Have you gone crazy? |
45828 | What have you on board? |
45828 | What shall I do? |
45828 | What''s a buxom wife and four sturdy children good for if they ca n''t do a man''s work when he is off at war? |
45828 | Where are you bound for? |
45828 | A pretty American girl approached me, saying,"Will you have tea, bread and butter?" |
45828 | After these minor details had been attended to the question paramount in our minds was:"How could Uncle Sam bring all his children home?" |
45828 | As one maid said, in a small Bavarian town,"How can I see others working for their country while I stay on and work for myself? |
45828 | As soon as we were near enough to hear her words one of her officers gave the following queries:"Where do you come from?" |
45828 | CHRISTMAS WITHOUT A SANTA CLAUS Have you ever stopped to think what Christmas would mean with no Christmas tree nor Santa Claus? |
45828 | Could it be that it was coming nearer? |
45828 | Did God create human lives and fertile lands to have them all fall before the greed of man? |
45828 | Do you not hear a song more beautiful than the cries and groans of war? |
45828 | Do you not hear the call of life and creation, the making of more homes and the caring for those homes? |
45828 | HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A REFUGEE? |
45828 | Have you ever seen a manoeuvre? |
45828 | Have you ever seen a mobilization? |
45828 | How would you like to be a refugee for four weeks, fleeing from the horrors and hardships of war? |
45828 | How would you like to be cut off all this time by mail and cable from relatives and friends? |
45828 | I wonder what has become of the great numbers of designers and artists who were dependent on foreign purchase for their livelihood? |
45828 | O, thinking woman, woman of all lands, do you call death, destruction of life and property, glory of war? |
45828 | One day while walking across the country road, I stepped up to a farmer and said:"When do you go to the war?" |
45828 | SOME QUESTIONS ANSWERED AS TO THE CAUSES OF THE WAR The questions uppermost in the minds of many people are:"How will the war end? |
45828 | The question then presents itself:"What may happen to their children?" |
45828 | The thought uppermost in their minds was how would we get out if Russia really declared war on Germany? |
45828 | This is an epitome of what woman has done to relieve suffering, but what does war mean to her? |
45828 | WHAT MOBILIZATION MEANS Have you ever been to war? |
45828 | WHAT THE WORLD- WAR WILL MEAN TO WOMANKIND Have you ever stopped to think what this world- war will mean to womankind? |
45828 | WHAT WILL THE ROYAL CHILDREN DO IF THEIR PARENTS ARE PUT OUT OF BUSINESS? |
45828 | We spend hundreds of millions a year for war; can we not afford to spend one million for peace?" |
45828 | What did this mean? |
45828 | When will it end? |
45828 | Who is in the right? |
45828 | and Who is in the wrong?" |
53168 | By the way, is the watch keeping good time? |
53168 | Can you come down this week- end? |
53168 | DEAR DAD, What do you think of the 40 warships bombarding Zeebrugge? |
53168 | DEAREST MUM, Whatever induced you to do it? |
53168 | Did I tell you that my Gieve lifebelt had turned up? |
53168 | Did my last letter to Mother arrive very sticky? |
53168 | Did you get the letters I wrote to Liverpool when you were going off? |
53168 | Did you hear how Usborne and Ireland[16] were killed? |
53168 | Great news about Warneford, is n''t it? |
53168 | If not, put two and two together, and the answer is----? |
53168 | Is n''t it terrible news about Warneford? |
53168 | It was the 6th shot, but the others were all very close-- not bad shooting, eh? |
53168 | One Tommy, speaking to another over the trenches:--"Ello, Bill, got a lice over there?" |
53168 | She was really getting too ancient, and has now been packed up and is going to be sent home for School work; too bad, is n''t it? |
53168 | What do you think of this story, the latest from the trenches? |
53168 | What else could I do? |
53168 | Whatever has become of you all? |
53168 | tin of Friars''Mixture( medium)? |
50483 | A feeling of philosophy and awe prompts me to ask why all this great sacrifice of human life, misery and suffering? |
50483 | A very pertinent question was often asked toward the close of the winter--"Who would command in the next campaign?" |
50483 | Americans all, and all for what? |
50483 | Are their deeds worth recording, worth remembering? |
50483 | But I was going to the war and why should I care for comment or criticism? |
50483 | But how''s this, we fighting behind entrenchments and the enemy in the open, four or five lines deep? |
50483 | But it''s all grand and glorious, is n''t it boys? |
50483 | Continuing, he said,"If he means to attack us on this side, why does he not reinforce on this side? |
50483 | Do you not, sir? |
50483 | How was this wicked and useless sacrifice brought about? |
50483 | I was now halting between two opinions; was he aiming to have me commit myself, or was he really a friend? |
50483 | If it were not for a great and wise purpose, how could it be? |
50483 | Is it any wonder I am partial to Kentuckians and proud of their record in this great and memorable battle? |
50483 | That legion hath marched past the setting of sun: Beaten? |
50483 | What patriotic soldier could fail to be moved by its charm and pathos? |
50483 | Why concentrate so much artillery on the bluff yonder? |
50483 | Why should I not linger and contemplate? |
50483 | Why, oh why, did Beauregard not allow us to finish the day''s work so gloriously begun by Johnston? |
50483 | You know, old boys, just how this was, do n''t you? |
5854 | I presume that some one said to the Governor about this time,"Why do n''t you get Sheridan?" |
5854 | This feature was more than acceptable to the parents at times, for how else could they so thoroughly learn all the neighborhood gossip? |
20111 | ''Aunt Rose,''he asked even before we embraced,''is there any one else stopping with you?'' 20111 ''Well then, Dubois, what''s all this nonsense? |
20111 | ''What? 20111 ''_ Eh bien, nos patés_? |
20111 | And Vauquois? |
20111 | And at Beausejour? |
20111 | And mine, Madame, how about him? |
20111 | And no one complains, Madame Dumont? |
20111 | And that does happen often? |
20111 | And you? |
20111 | Are n''t you afraid you might miss forty winks? |
20111 | Are n''t you going to mend my pick- axe, Maxence? |
20111 | Bah, what difference does that make so long as they are happy and can live in peace? 20111 But how about_ their_ incendiary shells? |
20111 | But the economical struggle? |
20111 | But your husband? |
20111 | But, Jules, why do you write such things? |
20111 | But, was he educated for the career? |
20111 | But,I suggested,"do n''t you realise what a risk you are taking? |
20111 | Can you just see something happening to him with his father out there in the trenches? |
20111 | Did you bring a letter? |
20111 | Did you come across Lucien, and Bataille''s son? |
20111 | Did you hear what I said? 20111 Gentlemen,"said he,"excuse me for interrupting, but do any of you know the exact depth to which an aeroplane bomb can penetrate?" |
20111 | Good evening, mother; how''s your man to- day? |
20111 | He''s at the front? |
20111 | How about your regiment? 20111 How old are you?" |
20111 | I say, Paul,he called out to him,"would you do us the honour of dining with us? |
20111 | I''ve been saying to myself every day,he continued,"Is n''t it a pity that nobody should see them? |
20111 | I? 20111 In four years? |
20111 | In the trenches? 20111 Is Madame at home?" |
20111 | Is he one of ours? |
20111 | Is n''t mine at Verdun? |
20111 | Is that so? 20111 Just look at them, are n''t they splendid? |
20111 | Look here, Business, did I hear you say it wo n''t be over in four years? |
20111 | Madame, you wo n''t mind if I come after them to- morrow, would you? |
20111 | Now, then, how many of you are there in your trenches? |
20111 | Oh, shut up, ca n''t you? 20111 One or two rooms?" |
20111 | Over? 20111 Pistre? |
20111 | That goes right to the spot, does n''t it? |
20111 | That''s a good strong- box, is n''t it? |
20111 | The Germans back here? 20111 The President of the Republic once asked General de Castelnau,''Well, General, what shall you do after the war is over?'' |
20111 | Then your father is coming later? |
20111 | Three months? 20111 We thought we knew how much we loved them, did n''t we, Madame? |
20111 | What are you doing there, Jules? |
20111 | What are you looking for? |
20111 | What are you writing? |
20111 | What difference does that make? |
20111 | What forces have we in front of us? |
20111 | What have you got to kick about? |
20111 | What time did you start out, child? |
20111 | What''s become of Chenu, and Morlet and Panard? |
20111 | Where did they fall? 20111 Where is your mother, dear?" |
20111 | Where on earth did you get wool? 20111 Who is it?" |
20111 | Who''s excited? |
20111 | Who? |
20111 | Why is n''t he at the front? |
20111 | Why, Madame, what on earth would we do about the inventory when peace comes, if we were not to put a little order into our stock? |
20111 | Why, what were you expecting? |
20111 | With or without bath? |
20111 | Would you prefer number six or number fourteen? |
20111 | Yes, and what are you going to do if the letter carrier gets killed, or the Boche locate the mail waggon on the road every other delivery? 20111 Yes-- why?" |
20111 | You mean old Père François who keeps the public gardens? |
20111 | You wicked, wicked girl-- what made you tell such lies? |
20111 | You''re as well off here as you were in the trenches of Bois Le Pretre, are n''t you? |
20111 | You''ve all doubtless seen the sign that I put up in my window? |
20111 | You''ve gotten used to this life? |
20111 | Your son? 20111 Your what?" |
20111 | ''Who was leading, and who first cut the German barbed wire?'' |
20111 | Absinthes, bitters and their like have not only been abolished, but replaced-- and by what? |
20111 | After all, I keep telling them there must be a few, otherwise who''s going to write history? |
20111 | After all, could it be possible that this was the very midst of war? |
20111 | After presentations and greetings:"You are not leaving town this Summer?" |
20111 | And did they not witness the battles in the streets, all the horrors of the Commune, after having experienced the agonies and privations of the Siege? |
20111 | And history''s got to be written, has n''t it?" |
20111 | And the bombardment?" |
20111 | And the dahlias I gave you? |
20111 | And we who are going out to meet death have got to face it on empty stomachs?'' |
20111 | And when will it all be over? |
20111 | And your papa?" |
20111 | Are you ready? |
20111 | Are you ready?" |
20111 | Besides, the women gave up pastry, did n''t they? |
20111 | But hold on a minute, is n''t Lorrain a friend of yours?" |
20111 | But we''d never have realised how really deep it was if it had n''t been for this war, would we?" |
20111 | But what''s the use of trying to shape your own destiny?" |
20111 | But why do n''t you go and see''Père François''? |
20111 | Can you blame him? |
20111 | Cut it out, wo n''t you? |
20111 | Cyprien,"his friends enjoined;"shut up a bit, ca n''t you?" |
20111 | Did n''t Mr. Dumont who used to teach the third grade, draw it all out for us on the blackboard the last time he was home on leave? |
20111 | Do you hear me?" |
20111 | Do you know we found that monogram on an old 18th century handkerchief? |
20111 | Does he still live where he used to?" |
20111 | Fair Soissons, what is now your fate? |
20111 | Follow in line-- what''s the use of crowding?" |
20111 | For once again, to quote the laundress of the rue de Jouy--"Trials? |
20111 | For what home did she thus pine? |
20111 | He is n''t too awfully ugly, is he? |
20111 | How about my eau- de- Cologne?'' |
20111 | How about them? |
20111 | How can a fellow think if you all scream at once? |
20111 | How did they turn out?" |
20111 | How in the presence of such calm can we believe in war? |
20111 | I remember a druggist who on greeting me exclaimed:"A pretty life, is it not, for a man who has liver trouble?" |
20111 | I''d like to know what your wife would say if she caught you smoking a pipe in her hay loft?" |
20111 | I''d like to know where you''d be then? |
20111 | I''m so sorry, what''s the trouble-- nothing serious, I hope?" |
20111 | In what state shall we find you? |
20111 | Is it not on those same fertile fields so newly consecrated with our blood that every struggle for world supremacy has been fought? |
20111 | Is n''t he the image of the Bacchus who forms the centre of the painting? |
20111 | It used to be--''Popaul here-- Popaul there-- where''s my tobacco? |
20111 | Leaving? |
20111 | Now, with your mad idea, just suppose those who had a right foot all wanted tan shoes, and those who had a left could n''t stand anything but black? |
20111 | Poor, melancholy_ Mireille_, what master was she mourning? |
20111 | Ready to protest against this disfigured travesty of their war? |
20111 | See that little fellow rolling his cigarette? |
20111 | Shall I give Madame their address at Houlgate? |
20111 | Should n''t you think their Officers would look after them? |
20111 | So how is the brave little woman even to think of paying four years''rent, which when computed would involve more than two- thirds of her capital? |
20111 | Sometimes when you would all start out for some excursion I''d see him coming back towards the gate:"''You''re not going with them then, Jacques?'' |
20111 | Stationary?" |
20111 | Suppose the Germans were to get back here again before you sell it? |
20111 | That''s an awfully bad sign, is n''t it?" |
20111 | That''s no reason why you should mess up a house that belongs to your own people, is it? |
20111 | That''s the principal thing, the one for which we''re all working, is n''t it?" |
20111 | This one or that one? |
20111 | Thus armed can they not look the horrid spectres square in the face? |
20111 | To whom is this due? |
20111 | Was it such a terrible thing, since the air fairly rung with merriment? |
20111 | Well then, when a bombardment sets in how on earth could I get home quickly without my bicycle?" |
20111 | Well, do you think that prevented the Parisians from fishing in the Seine, or made this café shut its doors? |
20111 | What can one more or less mean now? |
20111 | What could they do? |
20111 | What did they all contain? |
20111 | What do you take us for? |
20111 | What good can that do them?" |
20111 | What has become of those fifteen or sixteen hundred brave souls who loved you so well that they refused to leave you? |
20111 | What on earth are you doing here?" |
20111 | What shall I do?" |
20111 | What ultimate destiny is reserved for your cathedral, your stately mansions, your magnificent gardens? |
20111 | What will become of me now? |
20111 | What''s a war cross more or less to me? |
20111 | What''s artillery for, anyway?" |
20111 | What''s the matter back there?" |
20111 | When did you get here?" |
20111 | Where have they gone? |
20111 | Where''s mamma?" |
20111 | Which way?" |
20111 | Who were they? |
20111 | Why did n''t Madame know that both Monsieur and Madame left for the seashore last evening? |
20111 | Will Monsieur kindly give me the baggage check?" |
20111 | Would they not be disgusted? |
20111 | Would you mind walking around to the farms and telling them that Maxence will be here to- morrow morning? |
20111 | You''re better off here than in the trenches, are n''t you? |
20111 | _ Qui sait_? |
20111 | and then turning to his mother,"I say, mamma, if one of them lands on our house, you promise you''ll wake me up, wo n''t you? |
20111 | boys, who''s ready?" |
20111 | exclaimed H."Do you hear the_ pompiers_? |
20111 | he cried,"is it thus that you receive your sons who shed their blood for you?" |
20111 | what terrors can lack of work, food shortage, or war hold for such people? |
20111 | you''re surely not thinking of leaving your babies alone in the cellar?" |
50410 | And do n''t you want me to pray for you? |
50410 | But what will I do now for the price of my tobacco? 50410 I say, Colonel, what does this mean, your men barking at me like so many dogs?" |
50410 | Well, how could I prevent her talking? 50410 What, those same men disobeying my orders again? |
50410 | You got hit, did you? |
50410 | Can you say that the words of the preacher have the same effect on the memory as the printed page? |
50410 | Did you ever hear of a congressman or legislator quoting a preacher in support of a measure? |
50410 | Did you ever hear of the pulpit controlling the market? |
50410 | Do you think we could carry on a war by some one of us having a few dollars in our pockets? |
50410 | He placed his hand to his ear and said,"What''s that, sir?" |
50410 | I noticed they were a different kind of potato from what I had ever seen, and politely asked her,"Please, madam, what do you call those potatoes?" |
50410 | Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen and Honorable Judges: The question before you,"Should Education Be Compulsory?" |
50410 | Should education be compulsory, then, for the benefit of the child? |
50410 | So determined and persistent was the fight in our part of the line, I heard a voice behind me saying,"Sergeant, what regiment is this?" |
50410 | The Chaplain asked,"Now, Andy, do n''t you feel the spirit of God coming within you?" |
50410 | The doctor took the canteen and said,"Do you think you can stand it now?" |
50410 | The press there is recognized as having more influence than the pulpit or the clergy, and, why? |
50410 | What is it that influences legislation, the pulpit or the press? |
50410 | What was it that brought the rebellion upon us? |
50410 | What was it that passed the pension bill? |
50410 | What''s on top of that pole? |
50410 | Where is the family in McLean County that does not see and read the weekly paper? |
50410 | Would not the effects be wonderful? |
50410 | [ Illustration:( end of chapter icon)] SHOULD EDUCATION BE COMPULSORY? |
50410 | what was there? |
46750 | ''And Madame de Duras?'' |
46750 | ''Are you their confidential friend?'' |
46750 | ''But even if he should find nothing,''said I to myself,''can any one ever escape who has once fallen into their hands?'' |
46750 | ''Have you your_ carte_?'' |
46750 | ''Is Madame de Duras there?'' |
46750 | ''Very well; but what are you doing here?'' |
46750 | ''Well,''said I,''have you heard anything? |
46750 | ''What is your name?'' |
46750 | ''Where is your entry in the jail- book?'' |
46750 | ''Will you allow me,''said I, as I handed it to him,''to tell you what took place, and why I am here?'' |
46750 | ''You are not going to send me away?'' |
46750 | ''You were not arrested, then?'' |
46750 | But for you, my dear child, what would have become of them? |
46750 | But what am I saying? |
46750 | But what good will that do her?'' |
46750 | But what would become of those three children? |
46750 | I found at the door the jailer( no longer the good Benoît) with two turnkeys, who asked me:''What are you doing here?'' |
46750 | I heard them saying near me,''Do you see how agitated that young lady is, and how she talks to the other one?'' |
46750 | I highly approve of your lodgings; shall I tell my sister- in- law that I insist upon your remaining with your brothers? |
46750 | If Heaven spares my life it will be a precious moment to me( who could imagine one more so?) |
46750 | Is there no hope?'' |
46750 | Mademoiselle de Pons, much moved, said to her companion,''Is it possible that we are surrounded by such miserable beings?'' |
46750 | Marinot said to him, angrily,''What are you doing here? |
46750 | May I know what use you have for them?'' |
46750 | Revolution?_ Madame de Mouchy added:--''Having been united to my husband for fifty- two years I have entertained no opinions differing from his.'' |
46750 | Revolution?__ Have you not signed I have never signed any resolutions. |
46750 | They took me at my word, adding with eagerness,''Do you promise it?'' |
46750 | This terrible man continued in the same tone:''Why are there only three persons in this room? |
46750 | What will be my fate?'' |
46750 | What would the father and mother of these unfortunate children feel if you should abandon them? |
46750 | When the administrators arrived, with their caps pulled down over their eyes, to ask,''Have you no petitions to send in?'' |
46750 | When they came to the_ assignats_ I said,''Citizens, are you not going to count them?'' |
46750 | _ Are you a married man? |
46750 | _ Your age?_ In my seventy- ninth year. |
46750 | _ Your name?_ Noailles Mouchy. |
46750 | _ Your profession before and I have been a soldier from my youth; since the Revolution?_ and I have risen to the rank of Marshal of France. |
46750 | resolutions derogatory to liberty?__ What have you done for the All that was required of me. |
46750 | what can it be?'' |
46750 | why not?'' |
51552 | And did you have a Christmas tree and a happy time then? |
51552 | Could you have believed that such atrocity could have been committed in the land of Washington? |
51552 | Do you remember the Psalm Mr. McCarer[ our pastor] read the last night at our house, before I left with the regiment, the ninety- first? |
51552 | Do you still like to hear stories? |
51552 | Does my little Alice talk much about her papa? |
51552 | Have you any action to direct?" |
51552 | I believe under the circumstances you will agree with me that for the present it is best that you should not come over,--will you not?" |
51552 | I write my wife:--"How would you and little Alice like to come out and live with me in a log hut for a while this winter? |
51552 | My letter of the 13th of August gives some account of that visit:--"Does it look natural to you to see this letter dated from Knoxville? |
51552 | Poor soldiers, do n''t you pity them? |
51552 | Was it cold at home? |
51552 | What do you say,--must I go in for it? |
51552 | What think you of it?" |
51552 | When shall that be? |
51552 | Will you come down to see me there, or shall I jump on a boat and come up the Mississippi and Ohio and see you?" |
51552 | Would you like papa to tell you a little story in his letter? |
51552 | You will excuse me, will you not? |
5861 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
5858 | 9:45 p.m."LIEUTENANT- GENERAL GRANT:"Would it not be well for Warren to go down with his whole corps and smash up the force in front of Sheridan? |
5858 | He remaining mounted, spoke first to me, saying simply,"How are you, Sheridan?" |
5858 | I assured him with thanks that I was"first- rate,"when, pointing toward the village, he asked,"Is General Lee up there?" |
5859 | As I drew up by the party, Bismarck accosted me with,"Well, General, are n''t you hungry? |
5859 | Offering the flask to his uncle, he said:"You''ve had a hard day of it; wo n''t you refresh yourself?" |
46097 | Ai n''t she the dizzy limit? |
46097 | Any more there? |
46097 | Call that a riding test? |
46097 | Hello, Bluegum,he said,"not killed yet?" |
46097 | How much? |
46097 | Nurse,said one of them, with a shattered leg, as he raised himself with difficulty,"will you write a little note for me?" |
46097 | Say, what do you think of''Big Lizzie''? |
46097 | Very cheap? |
46097 | Where''s Murphy? |
46097 | Who''s the Jonah? |
46097 | You like fine scarab? |
46097 | ( And the people did give the victory to M. Venizelos-- but Greece, oh, where was she?) |
46097 | And what was I doing there, anyway? |
46097 | And why, after the hundreds of boats they have missed, should they get a bull''s- eye there? |
46097 | Are there any finer roads in the whole world than the Mena road and that to Heliopolis? |
46097 | Call that fair fighting?" |
46097 | Can you who live at home at ease realize what that means? |
46097 | Can you wonder that the Light Horse wanted to get a move on and make a start for the front? |
46097 | Got any nice_ new_ ones?" |
46097 | Had the Turks any idea of our projected departure? |
46097 | Have I not already told how some of our cricketers caught the enemy''s bombs and hurled them back again? |
46097 | Have you ever dreamed that you were standing on the edge of a precipice and that an enemy was racing along behind you to push you over? |
46097 | He replied:"How could 12,000 of us take prisoners when we were up against 35,000?" |
46097 | How''s that for a beginning, nurse?" |
46097 | I wonder did that sniper wait till he got the three in line, instead of making sure of one? |
46097 | I wonder will I ever see dear old Erringhi again? |
46097 | Is it necessary to explain that this was the affectionate way our fellows alluded to the super- Dreadnought_ Queen Elizabeth_? |
46097 | Is it really worth five_ piastres_?" |
46097 | Is this boasting? |
46097 | It was quite common for a trooper to cry out:"Are you there, Abdul? |
46097 | The rising in India, the intention of the Australians to proclaim their independence the moment when Britain found herself in peril-- where were they? |
46097 | There was a picture-- in_ Punch_ I think-- of the incident of the Irishman who yelled out to the Germans,"How many of yez are there?" |
46097 | There was only one text that appealed to us, and that was"How long, O Lord, how long?" |
46097 | What change could one have there? |
46097 | What did it matter that we had no hot cross buns for Easter, no hard- boiled eggs, no ling, no salmon? |
46097 | What rest? |
46097 | Whence came these qualities in a branch of an immortal race bred to peaceful pursuits? |
46097 | Where now was the"disintegration"of the British Empire which the German Emperor and his War Lords had so confidently predicted? |
46097 | Why should that love- laden barge be the mark for the Turkish gunners? |
46097 | You who delve into the mysterious, will you explain? |
5856 | At this General Grant remarked:"Did he say so? |
5856 | Where are you?" |
5857 | Could not your cavalry go back by the way of Stony Creek depot and destroy or capture the store of supplies there? |
5857 | Have any more troops arrived from Richmond, or are any more coming, or reported to be coming? |
5860 | What appointment? |
5860 | When he did speak it was to ask:"Grant, how many wolves do you think there are in that pack?" |
5860 | will you work? |
5863 | Halleck was present and spoke up, saying:"How would Sheridan do?" |
5864 | Where? |
43589 | Has Man a Conscience? |
43589 | Have you finished harvesting? 43589 Well with the child?" |
43589 | Well with the child? |
43589 | Well with the child? |
43589 | Well with the child? |
43589 | And in what arm of the service? |
43589 | And must he not arise? |
43589 | And perhaps you may ask, does it meet my expectations? |
43589 | Besides, it prohibited fire- water, and does not a father prevent his children from drinking fire- water? |
43589 | Ca n''t we learn from our enemies? |
43589 | Daniel is a first- rate business man, and, as he likes farming, why not make it his business? |
43589 | Did I not come through your country one year since? |
43589 | Did I then make promises to you? |
43589 | Did you gather many walnuts? |
43589 | Do you run as erect as you walk?" |
43589 | Do you think the characters of Pitt, Fox, and Burke, as described by the author in the former work, are correct? |
43589 | Do you think we could get Governor Everett?" |
43589 | Does my venerable friend Seattle object? |
43589 | Governor Stevens:"Does any one object to what I have said? |
43589 | Great Chief, what shall we eat if we do so? |
43589 | Have I told you that we are living in the government palace? |
43589 | Have you any school in view now for next summer? |
43589 | Have you ever read any volumes of the''Spectator''? |
43589 | How could Oliver and the girls, if any are at home, pass the time better than reading or studying till perhaps ten in the evening? |
43589 | How long a leave had I better get? |
43589 | Is he not needed? |
43589 | Is it good? |
43589 | Is it not because your young men go out on war parties, and thus the flower of your tribe is cut down? |
43589 | Is it not better that your young men should have wives and children, and that your numbers should increase? |
43589 | Is it to be wondered at? |
43589 | Is it vacation with John Loring now? |
43589 | Is not here a work for a Moses or an Alfred? |
43589 | Is not his speech in the case of Blake v. Wilkins admirable? |
43589 | Is not the dissolution of the Union a subject of fearful foreboding? |
43589 | Is this good, and do you want this? |
43589 | Now, what have you to say? |
43589 | Shall I hear from you there, and how many letters will await me? |
43589 | Shall I hear from you there? |
43589 | The Great Father desires this, and why am I able to say this? |
43589 | The Indians had some discussion, and Governor Stevens then put the question:"Are you ready? |
43589 | The first question Isaac put,"Can a sincere Universalist be saved?" |
43589 | The following beautiful lines were written by Mr. Brooks, in condolence upon the sad loss:--"Well with the child?" |
43589 | To this the governor rejoined:--"''Why is it that you have two or three women to one man? |
43589 | Was this meant to vanish into thin air? |
43589 | Were not many of you now present witnesses of the fact? |
43589 | What are we to do?" |
43589 | What did the Whigs gain by representing General Jackson to be in leading- strings? |
43589 | What do you think of them generally? |
43589 | What had I best do? |
43589 | What is the lowest grade that you would be willing to accept? |
43589 | What should they do, they asked, in case the Blackfeet came near their camp at night? |
43589 | What will a man do for his own children? |
43589 | Where, then, shall we find these? |
43589 | Why not let us live together with you? |
43589 | Why not send them to the east? |
43589 | Why should we sell all? |
43589 | Will you meet them in council?'' |
43589 | Wo n''t your women prefer husbands to scalps and horses? |
43589 | Would you desire such a transfer? |
43589 | You say you will give us land, but why should you give us the mouth of the river? |
43589 | p. 373 dress of a chief? |
5862 | Can Grant supply himself from the Mississippi? |
5862 | Often"Johnny"would call:"Well, Yank, when are you coming into town?" |
5862 | The next was,"What are WE to do?" |
54065 | At length he emerged from the tunnel, and, in answer to the question,"What success?" |
54065 | How did you get in there, sir?" |
54065 | If it be asked, how can a people, professing to be civilized, act thus? |
54065 | Many were anxiously exercised upon the questions, what shall we eat? |
54065 | Should I fall on my first field, or should I escape? |
54065 | Should I share the joy of victory, or experience the sadness of defeat? |
54065 | Still uncertain, I asked,"Where are the troops to relieve us? |
54065 | The question then arose, who shall go out first? |
54065 | There was a shade of sadness on many a brow; for we were about to go forth two by two, to separate to meet again-- when? |
54065 | What boy''s blood has not been stirred by the story of Bunker Hill, the exploits of a Marion, and the fall of Yorktown? |
54065 | What youth has not wept as he read the story of Warren''s death, or the sadder story of the execution of Hale, the proud young martyr of liberty? |
54065 | Where are they now? |
54065 | and wherewithal shall we be clothed? |
54065 | be a prisoner in the hands of the foe, or, wounded, lie helpless among the slain and dying? |
54065 | what shall we drink? |
60084 | 19th, 1862,"addressed to one of his relatives, in answer to the question,"how he liked soldiering?" |
60084 | In the language of the christian,"why should we not put our trust in Him, and pray for Him to bring us out of all our trials and afflictions?" |
60084 | The question often comes into my mind,"have I done right?" |
60363 | Who comes there?" |
60363 | why do n''t you charge?" |
40046 | All right, Johnnie, are you ready? |
40046 | Are you the sergeant of the guards? |
40046 | Aunty, are there any white folks close around here? |
40046 | Do you really want me to do that? |
40046 | Do you take me for a fool? |
40046 | Do you think that I am a fool that I would hide you after you have been robbing me? |
40046 | For de Lawd sake, is dat what you cut cheese wid? |
40046 | For de Lord sake, honey, how you scare me; who is you? |
40046 | Have you got a couple of government horses here? |
40046 | Have you got any corn for my horse? |
40046 | Have you seen any Yanks? |
40046 | Hold on, there,said one of my comrades,"do you want to kill yourself? |
40046 | How many are there of you? |
40046 | I suppose your master is a Union man, is n''t he? |
40046 | Is dem Yanks got away? 40046 Is there any white people around here, Aunty?" |
40046 | Is you all alone, honey? |
40046 | Is your master in? |
40046 | Is your name Smith? |
40046 | It do n''t make any difference who I am,said I;"but, Aunty, can I get anything to eat?" |
40046 | Now, is dat so? 40046 Oh, you are the guards?" |
40046 | Oh,said she,"what''s dat?" |
40046 | So they have had you in irons four days? |
40046 | Then there are no soldiers that come here? |
40046 | Well, aunty,said I,"can I stay here to- night?" |
40046 | Well, did you see any of the Johnnies on your trip from Batesville down? |
40046 | Well, uncle,said I,"what do you think of me?" |
40046 | Well, what about your Colonel? |
40046 | What are you doing that for? |
40046 | What is your name? |
40046 | What will pa say when General Curtis comes along and wants to know what has become of the guards he sent? |
40046 | Where are you stationed? |
40046 | Why did you not call off your dogs? |
40046 | Why, what is the matter? |
40046 | You has? 40046 You have n''t? |
40046 | ''John, what have you got in your sack?'' |
40046 | After he had read the contents, he looked me over from head to foot and finally asked,"What regiment do you belong to?" |
40046 | Ah, would this thing never end, or was I doomed to die in rebel hands? |
40046 | Are you?" |
40046 | As we were passing she called out:"Is that what you Yankees call skedaddling?" |
40046 | Could it be possible that I was to get back to see my kind old mother, and my wife and little ones who had mourned for me as dead? |
40046 | Dead? |
40046 | Do n''t you like coffee?" |
40046 | Do n''t you see how the cane is parted where they waded or swam over?" |
40046 | Do n''t you think it is some one chopping?" |
40046 | Do you call yourself a gentleman and stand and see your dogs tear a man to pieces? |
40046 | Do you know when your men are to pass here?" |
40046 | Does ye heah?" |
40046 | Finally he broke out and said:"Now, look here, stranger, do you think you are going to sit there and bulldoze me all night and make me sit here?" |
40046 | Fo''de Lord''s sake; what will become of dis pore niggah? |
40046 | He soon got through with his writing, folded it up, put it in a large envelope and handed it to me, saying,"Sergeant, have you a good horse?" |
40046 | How was it our government left us there to die? |
40046 | I remember on one of our foraging trips we came up to a very nice farm house, and an old lady came out and said,"Are you''ns Yankees? |
40046 | Is dat you? |
40046 | Is de Yanks got loose?" |
40046 | Is you a Yank?" |
40046 | Is you afraid of the white people?" |
40046 | Now just look over the coach of young soldiers in the first flush of manhood; can they all get back to their homes? |
40046 | Now the road is infested with rebels; are you willing to undertake it?" |
40046 | Now, my dear, ca n''t we study up some plan to get away with these Yanks?" |
40046 | Old Aunty goes to the door and said:"Wot''s de matter, massa?" |
40046 | Old aunty walked up to him, snatched the possum out of his hand, gave him a smart box on the ear and said:"Ai n''t you got no manners? |
40046 | Said I,"Mister, supposing they are confederates, what are we to do?" |
40046 | Said I:"Boys, do you think there is any chance for getting anything to eat up there? |
40046 | Said Jim,"Look here, sis, have you any sweet potatoes, butter, chickens, or anything good to eat? |
40046 | Said he:"Master, are you a Union soldier?" |
40046 | Seeing an old lady standing close by the road I spoke to her and said:"Aunty, what do you think of us, anyway?" |
40046 | Seen any Yanks pass this way?" |
40046 | She looked up at him and seeing he was in dead earnest said:"When would you want me to go?" |
40046 | Some of the men in the heat and intensity of their feelings exclaimed,''Is this hell?'' |
40046 | The Johnnie called over,"Are you hit, Yank?" |
40046 | The little fellow put on his suit of gray, and Mrs. Wirz said,"How do you like your clothes?" |
40046 | The old man looked at us and said:"Do you call yourselves gentlemen and force yourselves upon us?" |
40046 | The old man raised up and said:"How do you do, sir; will you sit down on this bench?" |
40046 | The same young lady was sitting where he last saw her, and he walked up to her, made a very polite bow and said,"How do you do, sis?" |
40046 | Then the old gentleman looked around and saw the pigs in a line around the fire and said:"Hello, what have you here, sergeant?" |
40046 | They would say,"Why did you not go and dig up that money?" |
40046 | Was this some horrible dream, or was it real? |
40046 | What brought you out here?" |
40046 | What girl could resist such pleading from such a handsome young fellow as our Jim? |
40046 | What is we to do?" |
40046 | What of that?" |
40046 | What''s the matter, honey? |
40046 | Who is yous?" |
40046 | Wirz said,"What are you doing here?" |
40046 | You niggah, does you hear? |
40046 | has you got store coffee?" |
40046 | how can we forget it, comrades? |
40046 | said Jake;"who is you?" |
40046 | what is that? |
40046 | where did you get your corn?'' |
40046 | who comes there?" |
5865 | Well,said he,"did n''t you think it was the biggest shuck and the littlest ear that ever you did see?" |
5865 | Well,said he,"did you see him take it off?" |
5865 | MAJOR- GENERAL THOMAS, Nashville, Tenn. Is there not danger of Forrest moving down the Cumberland to where he can cross it? |
5865 | Should his request be granted, who would you like as his successor? |
5865 | Why not attack at once? |
51559 | But the Boche--? |
51559 | But,I said,"what is there in it for me? |
51559 | Commandant X---- and his staff are coming to lunch-- I ca n''t leave the stove-- what on earth shall we do? |
51559 | Did you see me get that Boche over the wood? 51559 Dis donc, mon vieux,"he ends triumphantly,"where would Europe be now if it were not for us?" |
51559 | Do you know why, my friend? 51559 Not so bad, this one, hein? |
51559 | See the tanks ahead of that wave of assault? 51559 Where''s D----?" |
51559 | Why do you lie so quiet, my friend? 51559 Why should I weep?" |
51559 | Wouldst thou kill me, sacré espèce of a camel? |
51559 | You will shoot me up, will you? |
51559 | A few grenades persuaded the survivors to come out of this, with no fight left in them; but how to get into the others? |
51559 | And how many of those poor Germans did you kill?" |
51559 | And you are poor-- well, what of that? |
51559 | But wait, what is wrong with the Spad on the right end of the V-- a beginner surely, for at this rate he will soon lose his patrol? |
51559 | Five? |
51559 | How many in your patrol? |
51559 | If I had known France before the war I could decide better a question that constantly occurs to me:"Has France grown more religious with war?" |
51559 | Is it fancy-- or is there a slight condescension in his greeting? |
51559 | Is there a life after death? |
51559 | Only four now-- who and where was the other? |
51559 | Well, what of it? |
51559 | What is he in civil life? |
51559 | Why not? |
51559 | You love our little A----, eh, sergeant? |
51559 | inquired the other, puzzled,"how did you get him down-- where was he?" |
52121 | And what have you there, Alexander? |
52121 | Are you an actor? |
52121 | Could anything be done to better the matter? |
52121 | Did you ever see, General, the paper that brought about your promotion? |
52121 | I say, Cuthbert, would you like to go to Richmond? |
52121 | Is he badly hurt? |
52121 | What is it you want? |
52121 | What is the attraction? |
52121 | What think you? |
52121 | What was his leading division? |
52121 | Where shall I find you, General, to make this report? |
52121 | Who is the general just falling? |
52121 | Why so, General? |
52121 | Will this do? |
52121 | All through the night, while passing stray troops on the road, I could hear the question,"Who have you there?" |
52121 | At Richmond we took the oath, as prescribed, to the United States Government, the courteous Federal officer asking pleasantly if it"tasted bad?" |
52121 | But why did we not attack on the 14th in daylight? |
52121 | Ca n''t you send us General Lee? |
52121 | Can not you help me?" |
52121 | Franklin should have been, I think, the man for Lincoln; but who knows? |
52121 | Had he been with Lee where would our commander have made his battle? |
52121 | It amused the infantry footing it on the side paths, and they would call out,"Here comes the cavalry, but what''s that gun tied to the tail for?" |
52121 | Quite bald, it was scarred in several places, and looking at the mark of an ugly gash I inquired,"And, General, where did you get that one?" |
52121 | Should we not have countermined actively and fought their men off in their own galleries? |
52121 | Some years after the war he met in Europe General McDowell, who said,"Russell, do you know what day this is?" |
52121 | Where now is the morning''s vision of victory which Babcock raised? |
52121 | Why not? |
52121 | Will you have it?" |
52121 | You have the building, I have the company; what about the rest?" |
56211 | D---- you, for a fool,he said;"what sort of a shot do you call that? |
56211 | Do you think you could find it? |
56211 | Hallo,he said,"why Harris, old boy,_ you_ are not going to begin, are you?" |
56211 | Hallo? |
56211 | More luck and grace to you,said Mc Lauchlan;"and it''s that you''re maning, is it?" |
56211 | Walcheren,he inquired,"eh?" |
56211 | What age are you, Rifleman? |
56211 | What have you got there, sir? |
56211 | What trade have you been of? |
56211 | Where have you been? |
56211 | Why do n''t they come on like men,they cried,"whilst we''ve strength left in us to fight them?" |
56211 | At length Captain Leech observed her, and called out to the company,"Does any man here know what has happened to Cochan? |
56211 | Do you think you are fighting here with your fists, that you are running into the teeth of the French?" |
56211 | Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question"Are we ever to be halted again?" |
56211 | Musther Hills,"I heard him say,"where the d--- l is this you''re taking us to?" |
56211 | Rifleman,"he said,"how came you here?" |
56211 | What have you done for him?" |
56211 | do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?" |
56211 | he said, as he grasped hold of me,"who the h- ll do you think is to stay humbugging all day for such a fellow as you?" |
56211 | looking for money, my lad,"said he,"eh?" |
56211 | no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?" |
57212 | Ah,replied the General,"has the Doctor returned? |
57212 | And pray, why not? |
57212 | But,I said,"General, if you should die, what do you wish me to say to your wife?" |
57212 | Can we get something to eat? |
57212 | What do they say? |
57212 | Which way were they going? |
57212 | He met me with:"Well, Dr. Quintard, what can I do for you? |
57212 | He took for his text on that occasion:"If thou hast run with the footmen and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? |
57212 | His reply was:"How can you ask such a question, when you know as well as I do what has happened?" |
57212 | I presented him for ordination and preached the sermon, from the text:"What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? |
57212 | I said to him;"My dear Colonel, what is the matter with you?" |
57212 | Where does he officiate? |
57212 | Will you walk in?" |
57212 | Would you mind exchanging with me for a little while?" |
57212 | and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?" |
57212 | why do n''t we attack them?" |
60343 | Have you a servant? |
60343 | Did we eat? |
60343 | The everlasting cry is we are a young country and it takes us time to learn, but, damnation, does it take one hundred and fifty years? |
60343 | Then, what would we eat and where would we eat it? |
60343 | Were we spending the night? |
60343 | Why could not our Government have attended to these matters twenty- five years ago? |
60343 | _ August 19th._ How can I tell all that has happened in the past three days? |
61370 | Is it just possible that out of this great conflict there may arise a stronger desire for religious unity than the world has ever yet known? |
61370 | The whole nation is doing its utmost; can we quite honestly say the same of England? |
61370 | WILL UNITS PLEASE COPY ORDERS REFERRING TO THEMSELVES? |
5852 | Well, ai n''t you on our side? |
5852 | But it first became necessary to settle the important question of who should succeed General McPherson? |
5852 | But what next? |
5852 | Can you expedite the sending to Nashville of the recruits that are in Indiana and Ohio? |
5852 | If Hood goes to the Alabama line, will it not be impossible for him to subsist his army? |
5852 | Others say:"What are we to do? |
5852 | Pausing awhile, and watching the operations of this man roasting his corn, he said,"What are you doing?" |
5852 | Some say:"I have such a one sick at my house; who will wait on them when I am gone?" |
5852 | This being so, how is it possible for the people still here( mostly women and children) to find any shelter? |
5852 | Who ever supposed they would come away down here in Alabama?" |
5852 | said a listener,"do n''t you know that old Sherman carries a duplicate tunnel along?" |
59757 | Did I tell you about this billet of ours? |
59757 | Did I tell you that I thought it would have made a good picture for an artist to paint? |
59757 | Did I tell you this already? |
59757 | I do n''t know what news you have already had about things, so will you forgive me if I repeat things you already know? |
59757 | I wonder if it would trouble you to send me my Psalter with the tunes? |
59757 | I wonder whose idea it was to do it? |
59757 | This does n''t convey much information about our whereabouts, does it? |
59757 | Will you please excuse only short hurried notes just now? |
38855 | Are you a Union man? |
38855 | Are you telling the truth? |
38855 | Are you the person from whom Sherman''s battery took its name? |
38855 | At what points? |
38855 | Did not God command the Israelites to buy slaves from the Canaanitish nations, and to hold them as their property for ever? |
38855 | Did the jury that tried him, acquit him? |
38855 | Did you desert? |
38855 | Did you say that you were opposed to the slavery which existed in the time of Christ? |
38855 | Did you tell Mr. Creath that you knew some negroes who were better, in every respect, than some white men? |
38855 | Do you believe that any one can call the spirits? |
38855 | Had the Federals a large force at that place, and who was in command? |
38855 | Have you a Federal pass? |
38855 | How does it read? |
38855 | I suppose it is all right with you? |
38855 | In the Destrict? |
38855 | Kin you talk Funnyography? 38855 May I write a letter to my wife?" |
38855 | Parson Aughey, is Phonography a Abolition fixin? |
38855 | Parson Aughey, what is Funnyography? |
38855 | The question I desire to propose is this-- How many preceded Noah in leaving the ark? |
38855 | These irons,said he,"are very insecure; who helped you to put them in this condition?" |
38855 | Well, Sam, what trade''ll ye gin? |
38855 | What does he want? |
38855 | What is your father- in- law''s name? |
38855 | What is your profession? |
38855 | What was your business in Iuka? |
38855 | What will be your fate? |
38855 | When was I missed after my escape, and how did the officers act when they learned that I was gone? |
38855 | When were you at Iuka? |
38855 | Where do you reside? |
38855 | Where is Malone? |
38855 | Where were you born? |
38855 | Who reported me, and where are your witnesses? |
38855 | Why did you attempt to bribe Barnes? |
38855 | You confess, then, that you are a Union man? |
38855 | ''sposen I had a young filly, and you a old mar, ye would n''t ax an even trade, would ye?" |
38855 | Are we prepared for all the evils attendant upon a fratricidal contest-- for bloodshed, famine, and political and moral desolation? |
38855 | Are we prepared for civil war? |
38855 | Are we prepared for such a result? |
38855 | As I retired, I heard one picket say to the other,"Who is that?" |
38855 | Did any of the prisoners know of or aid you in your escape?" |
38855 | Do you know, sir, where the witch of Endor lived?" |
38855 | Does she propose to refund the purchase- money? |
38855 | Guilty, helpless, wretched as thou art, what is thy plea why sentence of eternal death should not be pronounced against thee? |
38855 | Have they complied with the provisions of the Fugitive Slave Law? |
38855 | Have you a pass?" |
38855 | Have you ever been within the Federal lines?" |
38855 | How and when did you succeed in leaving that prison?" |
38855 | How can ye dwell with devouring fire? |
38855 | How happens it that you look at matters in a different light from your relatives?" |
38855 | How long shall the wicked triumph? |
38855 | I often thought of the couplet in the old song--"The hounds are baying on my track, Christian, will you send me back?" |
38855 | I, in a peremptory tone, addressed him, in quick succession, the following interrogatories:"Where are you going? |
38855 | In the first place, did you ever say that you did not believe that God ordained the institution of slavery?" |
38855 | My proof is in Philemon, verses 15 and 16, where the apostle asks that Onesimus be received, not as a servant, but as a brother beloved?" |
38855 | Myself in chains, my life declared forfeited, ought we not all to be deeply impressed with the necessity of immediate preparation to meet our God? |
38855 | Now, my fellow- citizens, what shall we do to resist Northern aggression? |
38855 | Of what worth was their declaration if they had remained inactive? |
38855 | Parson Aughey, are you in favour of the South?" |
38855 | Suppose you was to preach in Phonography, who''d understand it?--who''d know what was piped or harped? |
38855 | The Colonel, turning round, glared upon me with eyes inflamed with passion and liquor, and thus addressed me:"Are you a Union man too?" |
38855 | The South has made the North rich, and what thanks do we receive? |
38855 | The following colloquy now took place between the commander of the post, the Provost Marshal, and myself:"Why did you attempt to leave us?" |
38855 | The inquiry is often made, what becomes of the soul after death, and where does it await the general judgment? |
38855 | The question has been asked, is there any Union sentiment in the South? |
38855 | The question is often asked, is slavery sinful in itself? |
38855 | To whom do you belong? |
38855 | What has Mississippi lost by the Union? |
38855 | What patriot would hesitate for a moment which to choose? |
38855 | What room will you be pleased to have?" |
38855 | What, under these circumstances, could resist the progress of Halleck to the Gulf? |
38855 | When the political issue is made, shall we, or shall we not, grant license to sell intoxicating liquors as a beverage? |
38855 | Where do we obtain the right of secession? |
38855 | Where have you been? |
38855 | Who ever heard of a government breaking to pieces without an arduous struggle for its preservation? |
38855 | Who originated Mormonism, Millerism, Spirit- rappings, Abolitionism, Free- loveism, and all the other abominable_ isms_ which curse the world? |
38855 | Who wishes to endure it? |
38855 | Who would be a craven- hearted, cowardly, villanous submissionist? |
38855 | Who would have gone to an officer who was apparently aiding and abetting the rebellion, ably and assiduously, to communicate his Union sentiments? |
38855 | Whose life has been endangered, or who has lost his liberty by the action of the Government? |
38855 | Why should we secede, and thus destroy the best, the freest, and most prosperous government on the face of the earth? |
38855 | Will not God visit for this? |
38855 | Will secession give us any more slave territory? |
38855 | Will secession remedy this grievance? |
38855 | Will ye play, then? |
38855 | Wodent it all spill out, and leave''em dry, and whar ed we be? |
38855 | Would her territory revert to France? |
38855 | Would not Mississippi cut a sorry figure among the nations of the earth? |
38855 | Would she become a territory under the jurisdiction of the United States Congress? |
38855 | and where does them folks live what talks it?" |
38855 | believe that the spirits can be called?" |
38855 | how can ye take up your abode, your eternal abode, in everlasting burnings? |
38855 | it''s going to rain; do n''t you hear the thunder?" |
38855 | says Pat,''are you charmed at the first note?''" |
38855 | what soundeth-- is creation Groaning for its latter day? |
38855 | will ye dally With your music and your wine? |
45894 | ''Cause, sar, I can go to school, and learn to read; and den--"Well, what then? |
45894 | Ai nt she a- ripping up the old salt water canvas, skearing the sharks and astonishing the sea sarpints? |
45894 | And would you like that, Charley? |
45894 | Are you willing to run the risk? |
45894 | But we will be heard by the guerillas who may not be far off, and what would we do if a dozen of them should come upon us? |
45894 | Dus you make books like dis- a- one? |
45894 | How is you, Yankees? 45894 I sup- pose if we can not help it-- what you do?" |
45894 | I suppose you would not hesitate to pink a rebel if he should come across you instead of a deer, Joe? |
45894 | Is your piece loaded? |
45894 | Oh!--Is you a- gwine to print a paper? 45894 Vat for you lay in ambush, den?" |
45894 | Well, uncle,I said,"how do you like the Yankees?" |
45894 | What company? |
45894 | What did you cum for, den? |
45894 | What name? |
45894 | What were you sent here for, then? |
45894 | What will all this amount to, lieutenant? |
45894 | What''s the matter? |
45894 | Wo n''t the rebs chaw him up? |
45894 | Would you sooner be with the Yankees than the rebs? |
45894 | You is-- you do? 45894 You think you are free now, and that the Yankees made you free, do you?" |
45894 | A relapse ensued, and in a few days he was a corpse-- the victim of''red tape,''or incompetency, or criminal carelessness-- which? |
45894 | As we marched in to take our position, the officer in command of the battery, asked--"What regiment is that?" |
45894 | BY"ONE OF THE SEVENTEENTH,"[ Illustration: Thomas Kirwan( signature?)] |
45894 | But how few, comparatively, of our detachment were now so eager, after encountering one enemy, to meet another? |
45894 | Col. Amory coming up soon after, said--"Why do you stay here? |
45894 | De press-- wha- what press-- de ex- press?" |
45894 | Fowl, flesh, or fish? |
45894 | Giving assurance that I intended no harm to any of them, I inquired if the master of the house was at home, and if so, where he then was? |
45894 | Had he any whiskey? |
45894 | How did you get here?" |
45894 | Is that all the men I have?" |
45894 | It was here that the 9th New Jersey picked up( captured?) |
45894 | Observing an elderly gentleman in civilians''clothes, I remarked--"You do not look like a soldier either, friend?" |
45894 | One of them a lad about 16 years old, was thus interrogated by the Major:"Vat for you be guerilla for?" |
45894 | Seeing that he appeared unhurt, I questioned him while loading my piece:"What''s the matter? |
45894 | Struck by the oddity of the saying, I stopped and questioned the lad--"Why are you glad you''re free, my little fellow?" |
45894 | The transport we embarked upon was a dilapidated steamer called the"Haze"( who that ever took passage in her to or from Dixie can forget the old tub? |
45894 | We have come''away daown Saouth in a few days,''have n''t we; and how do you like the lay of the land? |
45894 | Were they huge gulls or windbags, cormorants or cranes, devils or dogfish? |
45894 | What are you doing here?" |
45894 | What chance would we have against so many?" |
45894 | What then was it? |
45894 | What-- can''t you even say''hooray?''" |
45894 | When Tom McNally( the hero of the kicking mare) came up, Dr. Ainsworth asked--"Well-- what''s the matter with you, sir?" |
45894 | When one of the delinquents stepped forward and asked--"If we goes, Massa Kimball, will dey guv us guns?" |
45894 | Why do n''t you fire?" |
45894 | there,--what does all this mean? |
55702 | But surely it is very dangerous work? |
55702 | But what do you do when you have finished? |
55702 | Go up and have a look; then,"Who''s on our flank?" |
55702 | He( the German) must be having a bad time; why does n''t he see it? |
55702 | They''ll come away now? |
55702 | Well, children,said the commander,"what shall I say to you? |
55702 | What''s his wound? 55702 Are We Ready? 55702 But I''m keeping you awake, am I not? |
55702 | He replied by quoting the answer of an Irishman:"He''s probably thinking, Is there any one that I''ve left out?" |
55702 | He turned round several times to ask,"Is the Englishman there?" |
55702 | How can any one say prayers for a world which is at war, or for himself that is a part of it? |
55702 | In our interrogations we usually had to distinguish between"Did you surrender?" |
55702 | Shall I return? |
55702 | The Colonel came forward to me with a preoccupied smile:"A convoy for the flag,"he explained, and turning to his men;"you have the flag there?" |
55702 | What is Mary doing? |
55702 | What of our friends, the poor inhabitants, whom we left behind? |
55702 | What was wrong with your motor yesterday? |
55702 | When we were waiting before the post office for Sir Edward Grey''s speech, every one was asking,"Have they done the right thing?" |
55702 | Where are you off to now?" |
55702 | Will you be so kind as to forward to Omsk the accompanying note to our captive airman, Lt.----? |
55702 | and"Did you come across of yourselves?" |
17978 | A what? |
17978 | Age? |
17978 | Ah, yes, Monsieur le Capitaine, you will not take a seat? 17978 Ah,"I said,"that was n''t your fault, Barbara, was it? |
17978 | And have you heard from your folk at home? |
17978 | And how is it with your food? |

17978 | And what is your village? |
17978 | And what said the German officer, Shiva Lal? |
17978 | And wherefore? |
17978 | And wherefore? |
17978 | And why? |
17978 | And you got home with the Uhlans? |
17978 | And you will do the same? |
17978 | And you, Mula Sing, what think you of this war? |
17978 | And you? |

17978 | At what hour did you enter the Café à l''Harmonie? |
17978 | Avez- vous tué des Allemands? |
17978 | Bad? |
17978 | But what is the matter with the doll? |
17978 | But where are they going? |
17978 | But you make them pay for that? |
17978 | But,I exclaimed in astonishment,"are you still administering justice?" |
17978 | Can I talk to him? |
17978 | Carter Paterson? |
17978 | Cheek, is n''t it? |
17978 | Cheek, is n''t it? |
17978 | Come up to the Flying- Ground to- morrow, will you? |
17978 | Did you hear about that chit the Camp Commandant at the Headquarters of the----th Corps sent to the A.Q.M.G.? |
17978 | Do you know Jules F----? |

17978 | How many patients have you got accommodation for here? |
17978 | Hulloa, that you, Peter? |

17978 | I know it-- is not Turkaran Patal the head- man? |
17978 | I say, B----,I asked as I contemplated a hay- stack of things,"what''s the regulation allowance for an officer''s luggage? |
17978 | I suppose you sometimes wish you were back in Wiltshire now? |
17978 | I suppose you''re fond of your horses, Hawkins? |
17978 | I suppose you''re pretty comfortable here? |
17978 | I suppose you''ve had a hot time up there? |
17978 | If one Frenchman is equal to three and one- third horses, how many Huns are equal to one British soldier? |
17978 | If you be coming back again, will you ask for me to be de- tailed to you, sir? 17978 In war?" |
17978 | Is he a German? |
17978 | Is it a large farm? |
17978 | La guerre, quand finira- t- elle? |
17978 | La guerre, quand finira- t- elle? |
17978 | More gardening? |
17978 | My wife and Pat-- you''ve never seen Pat, I think? 17978 No? |
17978 | Not much space here, eh? 17978 One and six a day we gets,"cried one of them,"and what''s this about this New Army getting four bob?" |
17978 | Pourquoi non? |

17978 | Résidence? |
17978 | Shall I write to thy people? |
17978 | Shall we get to Calais? |
17978 | Shikkar? |
17978 | Should an Army follower be hanged or is he entitled to be shot? 17978 So you''re a Wiltshireman?" |
17978 | So you''re leaving your hospital to go up and join a Field Ambulance? |
17978 | Street- lamps? |
17978 | The goat? |
17978 | The grease? |
17978 | The sahib would like to hear a story? |
17978 | Une lessiveuse? |
17978 | Vous êtes une blanchisseuse, aujourd''hui? |
17978 | Well, but who is''Teddy,''anyhow? |
17978 | Well, you see the roof of a house between the second and third tree from the right? 17978 Well?" |
17978 | What about rations? |
17978 | What did you do with him? |
17978 | What do I get for it? |
17978 | What do they cry? |
17978 | What do you call it? |
17978 | What do you think of the Germans? |
17978 | What do you want all those for, Major Peter? |
17978 | What have you found? |
17978 | What is your name? |
17978 | What might be your parts, sir? |
17978 | What the devil did he mean? |
17978 | What was I a- doin'', zur? 17978 What?" |
17978 | When did you join? |
17978 | Whence come you? |
17978 | Where is thy home? |
17978 | Where were you on the 3rd of April at 7 P.M.? |
17978 | Who are you? 17978 Why is this?" |
17978 | Why? |
17978 | Will you come again, and take his tempewature-- Pwomise? |
17978 | Will you wite a pwescwiption? |
17978 | Would you call him a Bosche? |
17978 | Yea, gladly; what shall the words be? |
17978 | You have been out a long time, then? |
17978 | You like the bayonet? |
17978 | You see that row of six poplars over there? |
17978 | You surely do not doubt the word of the German Government? |
17978 | Your name? |
17978 | ''s, did I ever tell you the story of how I pulled the leg of old Macassey in South Africa?" |
17978 | ----?" |
17978 | And I said unto him,''How is it that you, who are Christians, treat the Tommies so? |
17978 | And I said,''Wherefore should I do this thing, and bring sorrow and shame upon my people?''" |
17978 | And as for the rest of the Act and its preamble, and its sections and its sub- sections, are they not written in the Statute Book? |
17978 | And he fell to wondering whether he would be reported in the casualty lists as"killed in action,"or would it be"missing"? |
17978 | And the receipts?" |
17978 | And they pull me by the leg"( can it be that the jemadar is pulling mine? |
17978 | And what d''ye think we found, sir?" |
17978 | And would they send his wife his identity- disc, as they did with those who had fallen honourably on the field? |
17978 | And you too are a subadar?" |
17978 | And your requisition-- you have your commandant''s written order and signature, no doubt?" |
17978 | And, after all, were things so very different? |
17978 | Are you not Christians? |
17978 | But is n''t there something for civilians called a First Offenders Act? |
17978 | But what had that to do with the charge? |
17978 | Curious, is n''t it,"he added meditatively,"that you never see any Flemish fugitives without their feather- beds?" |
17978 | D''you mind?'' |
17978 | Dae ah look like it?" |
17978 | Did I know it? |
17978 | Did he wish to ask the witness any questions? |
17978 | Did_ you_ see?" |
17978 | Do you understand?" |
17978 | For how many of the old Army are left? |
17978 | For what purpose is Ammonal used-- is it a drug or an explosive?'' |
17978 | Had they missed? |
17978 | Has he not written that the ideal holiday is to watch another man doing your own job-- particularly if he does it badly? |
17978 | Have you children?" |
17978 | He comed fra oor toon, and he tellt me hissen the neet afore:''Jock,''''e said,''tha''ll write to me wife, woan''t tha?'' |
17978 | He spoke again, this time in Flemish:"_ Van waar komt gy? |
17978 | How did he stop it? |
17978 | How had it come here? |
17978 | How like you the War?" |
17978 | How''s that?" |
17978 | Hullo, what''s that?" |
17978 | I read on-- this time in silence: I say, have you killed any Huns yet? |
17978 | I said they did not know; how could they? |
17978 | I say,"he exclaimed joyfully,"did you see? |
17978 | I was going to visit the battlefield of the Marne-- yes? |
17978 | If I did n''t make my sanitary reconnaissances with my chloride of lime and fatigue parties, where would you all be?" |
17978 | Is a carrier- pigeon an Army follower? |
17978 | Is not that your very Hun? |
17978 | Les Allemands? |
17978 | Let me see, will this do, do you think?" |
17978 | No? |
17978 | No? |
17978 | Now I ask yer?" |
17978 | Our Officer, Capt''n S---- T----, d''you know''en, sir? |
17978 | Strong? |
17978 | The door opened and an old lady in a black silk gown inquired,"Qu''est- ce que vous voulez, M''sieu''?" |
17978 | The whole school''s fritefully bucked up about you, and we''re one up on Fenner''s...."What''s Fenner''s?" |
17978 | To what supremacy of effort has it not incited? |
17978 | Tumhi kothun allé?_"said my friend Smith, turning aside to a lonely figure on my right. |
17978 | Waar gaat gy heen?_"The man pointed with his hand vaguely in the direction of the Menin ridge. |
17978 | We christened her Patricia, you know?" |
17978 | What is the penalty for fraudulent conversion of an Army follower?" |
17978 | What more can man want?" |
17978 | What was he to do with a prisoner who elected neither to make a statement nor to put questions to witnesses, and who never gave him any lead? |
17978 | What was the matter with the officer''s eye? |
17978 | When he came to the prisoner''s name he looked up and said,"Is that your name and number?" |
17978 | When will the war end?" |
17978 | Where do you come from?" |
17978 | Why are we kept back in the trenches, Sahib?" |
17978 | Why is this?''" |
17978 | Why not the soldier too?" |
17978 | Why was this?" |
17978 | Why? |
17978 | Will the honourable sahib send a word for me who am thus crippled?" |
17978 | You are smoking one of them now-- a very good cigar, is it not?" |
17978 | You do n''t mind if I rag a bit, do you, old chap? |
17978 | You know the four canons of the bacteriologist? |
17978 | You remember Folly Wood?" |
17978 | and what do you think of the Uhlans?" |
17978 | and wherefore, Monsieur le Capitaine?" |
17978 | asked the_ maire_ sleepily;"you have the Commandant''s order?" |
17978 | bist gwine to fight for King and Country, Jarge?'' |
17978 | have you never heard the story of Simpson and the giddy goat?" |
17978 | is that you, C----? |
17978 | said the other with a certain paternal sensitiveness,"what do you suggest?" |
17978 | was all wrong, when, catching sight of me, he came up and said,"Hullo, old man, back from the Front? |
17978 | will it never end?" |
39072 | ''Ave you enough of ze gaz- o- leene? |
39072 | ''Where are you going?'' 39072 And what were we doing?" |
39072 | And when is that? |
39072 | Are you afraid? |
39072 | Are you going back to Germany after the war? |
39072 | Could n''t you fix it up for me just once to have ham and eggs and apple pie for breakfast? |
39072 | Did n''t you hear him say he was n''t Irish? |
39072 | Did they get anybody? |
39072 | Did you ever read''Ivanhoe''? |
39072 | Did you see those Germans yourself? |
39072 | Do n''t you see? 39072 Do they allow enlisted men to drink in the saloons in this town?" |
39072 | Do you ever speak to the German prisoners? |
39072 | Do you see those tents? |
39072 | Do you think I''m going to die? |
39072 | Have n''t you got an Irish father or mother or are n''t any of your people Irish? |
39072 | Have the Germans bombarded the town at all today? |
39072 | Have you enough gasoline to go to the camp and back? |
39072 | Have you enough gasoline? |
39072 | Have you enough gasoline? |
39072 | How are you, my little man? |
39072 | How did you get the military medal, lieutenant? |
39072 | How do they look? |
39072 | How is that? |
39072 | How many are you? |
39072 | I suppose,he said,"that you made a little speech to the men before they fired that first shot?" |
39072 | I wonder what those Germans are up to? |
39072 | I wonder,said a passenger,"whether those submarines have wireless? |
39072 | I''ve asked for fried eggs again and again and do you know what they do? 39072 If they get the balloon does that mean that they get the observer?" |
39072 | In what military class are you? |
39072 | It''ll be fine, wo n''t it, when somebody asks me:''Daddy, what did you do in the great war?'' 39072 It''s a question of whether we get her first or she gets us, is n''t it?" |
39072 | Of''Ivanhoe''? |
39072 | Qu''est- ce- que c''est? |
39072 | Say,cried a voice across the diminishing strip of water,"what place is this anyhow?" |
39072 | Say,inquired another reporter,"did anybody notice what was the color of the sergeant''s hair?" |
39072 | Say,shouted the artilleryman,"what''ve you been doing? |
39072 | Was there any other activity? |
39072 | We do n''t get anything much but slum,he said, when I asked him,"How''s the food?" |
39072 | Well, didja notice the trained seals? |
39072 | Well, what are you doing it for? |
39072 | What did he say? |
39072 | What did you think of Conan Doyle? |
39072 | What happened to you? |
39072 | What would I make a speech for? |
39072 | What''s that? |
39072 | What''s the matter? |
39072 | Where are you going? |
39072 | Where have you come from? |
39072 | Who invented this gas stuff, anyway? |
39072 | Why are n''t you in khaki? |
39072 | Why did n''t you send a man out ahead to look out for shell holes? |
39072 | Why do n''t you like Paris? |
39072 | Yes,said the irritated captain,"and what the hell do you want?" |
39072 | You are going to Paris? |
39072 | ''Well, what did you do it for?'' |
39072 | ''What''s the matter?'' |
39072 | ''Where do you get off to be a marine?'' |
39072 | ''You were told not to do that, were n''t you?'' |
39072 | A low comedian came out and said to his partner in perfectly good English:"Well, didja like the show?" |
39072 | Anne?'' |
39072 | Ca n''t you use him in the bakery or the kitchen or some place so he wo n''t have to be put in the firing line or in the trenches? |
39072 | Can you make them understand you?" |
39072 | Do n''t you know what that is? |
39072 | Do you suppose now that boat could send messages on ahead and ask other U- boats to look after us?" |
39072 | How much? |
39072 | I asked him:''Do you mean officers or Tommies?'' |
39072 | I looked out the porthole and asked an ambulance man:"Did we get her then?" |
39072 | I was sitting at the next table and I leaned over and asked:"How do you like Paris?" |
39072 | I''ve got no authority over them, and if they want to leave the party, what can I do? |
39072 | It was the second day out that I heard a voice from just outside my porthole inquire"E- S- T-- what''s that and how do you say it?" |
39072 | Later the universal question became,"Do n''t any of these people speak American?" |
39072 | Mixtures seemed incomprehensible to them and the officer who kept crying out,"Madame, where are my oeufs?" |
39072 | One band played"Wo n''t You Come and Waltz With Me?" |
39072 | One day he came rushing out of the house with a valise in his hand and his good wife stopped him and asked,''Where are you going?'' |
39072 | One officer was distinctly annoyed because the first sentence he found in a chapter headed war terms was,"Where is the grand stand?" |
39072 | Rid of him, the captain really began to sleep, only to be awakened by a knock at the door and a voice,"Is this the company commander?" |
39072 | She was breaking my heart and I leaned forward and asked:"What part of New York do you come from?" |
39072 | Silly ass, was n''t he? |
39072 | Somebody else wanted to know,"Is there any place in town where a fellow can get a piece of pie?" |
39072 | That would be fine business, would n''t it?" |
39072 | The conversation had scarcely begun when one of the women somewhat tactlessly remarked,"General, this is a young man''s war, is n''t it?" |
39072 | The lieutenant called him up then and said,"You''re writing a lot of lies home, are n''t you?" |
39072 | The men in the front line tried him with all the German they knew--"You German pig,""what''s your regiment?" |
39072 | The officer hesitated and a man who was passing stepped up and said:"May I interpret for you?" |
39072 | They all looked at the sign then, and another soldier said:''I suppose that"bières"there is"beers,"is n''t it?'' |
39072 | Walking in dough?" |
39072 | We passed a café on the way and one of the soldiers asked:''What''s this"vin"I see around on shops?'' |
39072 | Were n''t they"first to fight"? |
39072 | What did the French say about them?" |
39072 | What''s your name?'' |
39072 | When I asked one doughboy,"How do you get along with the French? |
39072 | When a censor wants to kill a story he usually says,"Do n''t you know that your story may possibly give information to the Germans?" |
39072 | Why, how could I consent to marry you, When I have my whole regiment to love? |
39072 | and''Do you love me, kid?''" |
51118 | Do you know who the parties are? |
51118 | What have you been doing that they have arrested you? 51118 A man named Charley Durham who had resided at West Plains and had met me several times, rode up near us and asked me;What did you say your name was?" |
51118 | About that time some man near the warehouse called out:"Who in hell are you? |
51118 | After we were dressed in their old clothing, one of them asked:"What did you say your name was?" |
51118 | And what are you doing here?" |
51118 | Are you going to cage me?" |
51118 | Could n''t you tie the knot upon them to hang them?" |
51118 | Do you hear the drums and the fife? |
51118 | Do you know what we are going to do with such men as you are? |
51118 | Do you want us to take you up to headquarters?" |
51118 | Had we not better accept the proposition and wait for results?" |
51118 | He asked:"Did you ever live down here about the state line?" |
51118 | He came to the author laughing and remarked:"You found my corn, did you? |
51118 | Hogan stepped up to him and said,"You little rascal, would you attempt to cut me with a knife?" |
51118 | Hogan, with an oath, said,"What are you doing with my horse?" |
51118 | How are you getting along? |
51118 | I asked him if he thought we would be able to remain there until morning? |
51118 | I told him"That is my business; when you was in the military service did you inform the civilians of your object and aims? |
51118 | I would ask him;"What''s the matter now? |
51118 | Is that you? |
51118 | Nicks said,"You have got him, have you? |
51118 | On reaching the company Captain Forshee walked out of the line and remarked to them"Why have you brought him in here alive?" |
51118 | Shall we attempt to run, or had we better pass them?" |
51118 | The Captain came inside of the guard, called out,"Monks, are you asleep?" |
51118 | The author asked, just as they had completed the tying,"What do you mean? |
51118 | The author at once arose to his feet and remarked,"I am here, what is wanted?" |
51118 | The author halted, of course, and the next remark was,"Who are you and where is the balance of your crowd?" |
51118 | The author raised up in a sitting position and said,"Captain what is wanted"? |
51118 | The author said to Long:"What shall we do? |
51118 | The judge then said to him,"What about that money of yours; are you able to pay the$ 150 fine?" |
51118 | The judge turned to him and remarked,"Mr., what did those boots cost you?" |
51118 | The sheriff and others would come to me and say:"Colonel, why did n''t you shoot some of those fellows long ago? |
51118 | There were four or five negro men standing upon the street corner and one of the officers holloed out to the negroes;"Which way did the rebels go?" |
51118 | They said,"What does this mean? |
51118 | What do think now in regard to the two parties living together?" |
51118 | What is it that men wo n''t do?" |
51118 | What''s the matter?" |
51118 | Will there be no history left to tell of the heroism and devotion to their country in its darkest hour? |
51118 | You do n''t intend to enforce it, do you, Captain?" |
51118 | Your people may ask the question, what right have you Missourians to come down into our state? |
47332 | A special train which he was probably on passed about 2 p. m. But what was the use of keeping troops under arms in line all day? |
47332 | Ai n''t I a good Yankee? |
47332 | And would not an alert, sagacious commander have made a forced night ride in order to have been with the first of his forces on the field? |
47332 | But does he mention any other Corps so pleasingly? |
47332 | But how about the uneasy souls-- the remorse of those who are responsible for this war in the hereafter? |
47332 | But if we are uncomfortable what condition must the enemy be in? |
47332 | But what''s become of the eight lines of C. W.? |
47332 | Could anything in Hades be any worse? |
47332 | Did ever anyone see such stupidity? |
47332 | Did n''t our Division have about as many killed and wounded as both the First and Second Divisions together, although smaller than either? |
47332 | Good(?) |
47332 | How often are such things done? |
47332 | I wonder if this awful war will ever find an end? |
47332 | I wonder if we are always to be rear guard? |
47332 | I wonder what the Johnnies think of us as fighters now? |
47332 | Is man irresponsible? |
47332 | It is said he did give the order to do so, but if he had been a_ great_ military genius would n''t he have_ seen_ that it was done? |
47332 | Of course, I awoke in fine spirits for how could I help it? |
47332 | On arrival there we found there had been a great scare from Mosby but it amounted to nothing; wonder if he thinks guerrilla warfare manly? |
47332 | Or after being continually flanked by him from the Rapidan to Petersburg and later to Appomattox where his surrender occurred? |
47332 | Should he not have a care? |
47332 | The query generally is,"when will the army move, and where?" |
47332 | Think you Lee then thought himself a greater field marshal than Grant? |
47332 | Was there any excuse for the Confederates not driving the Union forces from the field in a rout on July first? |
47332 | Was there ever before such a shocking battlefield? |
47332 | What does it all mean, anyway? |
47332 | What was he in Pennsylvania for or selected and paid for handling such an important matter to the Confederacy for? |
47332 | What, therefore, was to prevent the Second Division or Vermont Brigade from advancing? |
47332 | When will I get out of this? |
47332 | Where was there any infantry of any amount except in the ravine in front of the Third Division? |
47332 | Who could have anticipated it with such conditions? |
47332 | Who gave the order to concentrate for battle at Gettysburg but he? |
47332 | Who was? |
47332 | Who will say we have n''t stood up to the rack? |
47332 | Who would n''t? |
47332 | Who would think it? |
47332 | Who would wish to criticise troops unfairly under such circumstances? |
47332 | Why not give the Third Division its due? |
47332 | Will I ever make such devoted friends again? |
47332 | Will the historian ever correctly record it? |
47332 | Wonder if we wo n''t be abused for all this bye and bye by other than copperheads? |
47332 | Would either Grant or Sheridan have lost their cavalry for several days, as Lee did, when on such a campaign in an enemy''s country or anywhere else? |
47332 | Would they not be glad to do so if they could? |
47332 | [ 25] Did Ewell take the best advantage of his opportunities? |
47332 | [ 27] Does not every experienced soldier know that under such circumstances no one can tell exactly at what moment a battle will commence? |
47332 | and do it almost at once, even as brilliantly so as at Winchester a month previous? |
47332 | but was n''t it an_ alert_ Commander''s-- a_ genius''s_--business to have been there? |
7190 | A doctor was standing there and asked"how do you feel?" |
7190 | As we were standing there talking, I heard someone mention the name Len Pierce, so I called out"Who knows Len Pierce?" |
7190 | Do they do a loop the loop, half roll or flip? |
7190 | How do they get their feet on the ceiling? |
7190 | I would sometimes spend several hours worrying: did I or did n''t I do it? |
7190 | Remember Pete Lenzi who had hitchhiked to California and Joined the Marines? |
7190 | The fellow was so excited to see his friend he yelled"What did you do with my clothes?" |
7190 | We went over to another plane and the instructor asked Who''s next?" |
5853 | Any guerrillas? |
5853 | Is it a good road, and how far? |
5853 | What do you know of Uncle Billy? |
5853 | What is to be done with the freedmen? |
5853 | Can it be that such a resort finds root in any stratum of American opinion? |
5853 | Could not such a camp be established about Pocotaligo or Coosawhatchie? |
5853 | Could not such escaped slaves find at least a partial supply of food in the rice- fields about Savannah, and cotton plantations on the coast? |
5853 | Davis, etc.? |
5853 | General Blair simply asked,"Do you like it?" |
5853 | General Grant remarked,"What is to prevent their laying the rails again?" |
5853 | If the rebel leaders were to arm the slaves, what would be its effect? |
5853 | Should we allow them to escape, etc.? |
5853 | So that the only questions that remained were, would he surrender at Raleigh? |
5853 | State in what manner you would rather live--whether scattered among the whites, or in colonies by yourselves? |
5853 | State what you understand by slavery, and the freedom that was to be given by the President''s proclamation? |
5853 | State what, in your opinion, is the best way to enlist colored men as soldiers? |
5853 | Then followed the question,"Is Fort McAllister taken?" |
5853 | What signified the terms to them, so long as we obtained the actual surrender of people who only wanted a good opportunity to give up gracefully? |
5853 | What was to be done with the rebel armies when defeated? |
5853 | Who have prompted him? |
5853 | Why was this, or why was all mention of any field of duty for the head of the army left out of the army regulations? |
23340 | Any Reb- bils out yonder? |
23340 | Are you pulling in there, you men? |
23340 | At Washington, ma''am? |
23340 | Boy,I heard him say, to a slight figure, near at hand,"boy, what are you standing there for? |
23340 | But where were Porter''s columns? |
23340 | By right or by conquest? |
23340 | Can I obtain any facts from you,I continued,"as to the battle of Hanover?" |
23340 | Can ye not watch with me one hour? |
23340 | Can you make out his shoulder- bar? |
23340 | Chamberlain,said Griffin,"ca n''t you save the honor of the Fifth corps?" |
23340 | Colonel,I called to the officer in command, as the line of bayonets edged me in,"may I pass out? |
23340 | Dear me,said Mr. Axiom,"you would ruin our circulation at a wink; what would become of our ball column? |
23340 | Did n''t I projuce yer honor in good time, sur? |
23340 | Did you ever make a public lecture? |
23340 | Did you lose yer poultry? |
23340 | Did you lose yer sheep? |
23340 | Do her pictures look like her? |
23340 | Do n''t the Irish make the best soldiers? |
23340 | Do you command? |
23340 | Doctor,said one, feebly,"I feel very cold: do you think that this is death? |
23340 | For what? |
23340 | Friend, have you a drop of water for a man that''s fainted here? |
23340 | Fuh what puhpose? |
23340 | He is going,exclaimed a private, excitedly;"where''s the man that was to try a lead on him?" |
23340 | How did they go? |
23340 | How do you know? |
23340 | I wonda if dey''ll take Richmond dis yer day? |
23340 | Is that so? 23340 Is there any reward out?" |
23340 | Is there but one of''em? |
23340 | Is this General M''Call? |
23340 | Is this your house? |
23340 | Just makin''reconnoissance,said one of the freebooters;"s''pose a feller has a right to walk around, hain''t he?" |
23340 | Moss,he said again,"ai n''t you got no tobacco, Moss? |
23340 | My friends,--may I say, almost my parents? 23340 News?" |
23340 | Not unless he has a pass,said the Quartermaster;"have you written permission to leave camp?" |
23340 | P''raps not,said the tall soldier, drily;"did you ever grub on fat pork, Miss? |
23340 | Pray describe how Payne twisted, and whether you think Atzeroth''s neck was dislocated? |
23340 | Sot down, honey,said the old woman, producing a wooden stool;"is you a Yankee, honey? |
23340 | Stuart, how are you? |
23340 | Then I am not upon the Alexandria turnpike? |
23340 | Townsend,said Heath, as he swept the whole country with his keen eye,"do you know that we are standing upon historic ground?" |
23340 | Townsend,said Lowe,"have you the copy of that matter you printed about me in England? |
23340 | Under arrest? 23340 Was the rope attached to her left ear?" |
23340 | Was we licked, do you think? |
23340 | Were you aware of the order prohibiting correspondents from keeping with the advance? |
23340 | What do you mean by crossed? |
23340 | What giggling for, Bob? |
23340 | What is it you wish, Lieutenant? |
23340 | What is it? |
23340 | What is the color of his coat? |
23340 | What is the matter, my man? |
23340 | What sort of rope was it, for example? |
23340 | What will the girls say when they come back? |
23340 | What''s this, Watch? |
23340 | Where are your companies? |
23340 | Where''s Gen. Banks? 23340 Where''s the man that wants to mutiny?" |
23340 | Where''s your pass, bub? |
23340 | Who are yeou? |
23340 | Who are you? |
23340 | Who invited you? |
23340 | Who is it, Sergeant? |
23340 | Who is it? |
23340 | Who opened it? |
23340 | Who''s thar? |
23340 | Whose horses are these? |
23340 | Why not? |
23340 | You are a Northern man? |
23340 | You knew that you had no business upon scouts, forages, or reconnoissances; why did you go? |
23340 | Young Moss,said he,"ca nt you give a po''soul a drop o''sperits? |
23340 | _ Would n''t_ she tell Henry? 23340 ( Pens?) 23340 A universal fear now found expression, and helpless people asked of each other, with pale lips--How far have we to walk to reach the James?" |
23340 | Ai n''t dat so, chillen?" |
23340 | All were looking up, and saying, in pleading monotone:"Is that you, doctor?" |
23340 | Among the hogs, I think?" |
23340 | And where have ye been? |
23340 | Are yeou a rebbil?" |
23340 | Are you going to ride over this wounded feller?" |
23340 | Are you shot bad, Bobby?" |
23340 | Besides, how did I know that some correspondent had not reached Washington, by way of one of the Potomac vessels, and so forestalled me? |
23340 | But how few of the illustrious Senators, Chief Justices, Generals, etc., who draw their sustenance from the Capital, care a penny to decorate it? |
23340 | But what were the circumstances? |
23340 | Can Mr. Davis visit it, and pray as he does so devoutly afterward? |
23340 | Cause why? |
23340 | Compare this with Chancellorsville, Williamsburg, the Wilderness, Bull Run, and what shall we say? |
23340 | Did you ever gnaw yer hard tack after a spell o''sickness, and a ten- hour march? |
23340 | Directly Gen. Hartsuff returned, and the forager rose, with a grim smile about his mouth--"Hartsuff, God bless you, how- de- do?" |
23340 | Do n''t you s''pose he''ll prent it all?" |
23340 | Do you remember the thrilling chapter of"The Jew''s last night alive,"in"Oliver Twist?" |
23340 | Does you want you fauchun told by de ole''oman?" |
23340 | Has any battle so successful ever been fought in Virginia? |
23340 | Has the attack succeeded?" |
23340 | Have anymore of our boys been hurt that you know of?" |
23340 | He relapsed again for a few minutes, when he continued:"You do n''t like fellers to bag yer poultry and sheep, do you?" |
23340 | Hey, Ike?" |
23340 | How many days or hours would have here sufficed to annihilate all the races of men? |
23340 | How was I, so dismounted, to reach the distant river? |
23340 | How''s that, Ike? |
23340 | I believe you have telegraphed up to a House instrument, have n''t you?" |
23340 | I saw a jail in Florence, and it troubled me; who in that beautiful city could do a crime? |
23340 | If they had a been, why wa''n''t they on hand to save my regiment, and the New Jersey brigade?" |
23340 | Is it harsh to say that artists have been too well rewarded, and thinkers and writers too ill? |
23340 | Is not this work for gratulation? |
23340 | Is that so, boys?" |
23340 | Is there nothing over all? |
23340 | It is an encomium in America, to say that a man"Can keep a hotel,"but what shall be said of the man who can keep a hotel in war- time? |
23340 | It never rains but it pours, does it?" |
23340 | It''s a sad thing to know that one''s children died enemies, is n''t it? |
23340 | Massar, is your family from ole Virginny?" |
23340 | Mother, where is the gruel you made for him?" |
23340 | No? |
23340 | No? |
23340 | No? |
23340 | Not any? |
23340 | On the way from the field to the hospital he wandered in mind at times, crying out,"Captain Weaver how is that line? |
23340 | One may be passing for a young duke, or tourist, or clergyman, or what not? |
23340 | One of your military friends? |
23340 | Pardner, is there water over there?" |
23340 | Richmond had cost them half a million of lives, a mountain of blood and wealth, four years of deadly struggle; would they not complete its ruin? |
23340 | Rough recognitions would ensue, as thus:--"Bobby, is that you, back there?--Bobby Baker?" |
23340 | Shall I take my cigar at the Spotswood on Sunday fortnight?" |
23340 | Shall the North be victorious in the next battle? |
23340 | Shall we ever make Washington the representative Capital of the country? |
23340 | She asked me, wistfully:"Masser, how fur to de nawf?" |
23340 | The deplorable results? |
23340 | The question at once occurred to me: Can I stand fire? |
23340 | Townsend,"said he, smilingly,"back already? |
23340 | Townsend?" |
23340 | Was I in a hostile country, surrounded by thousands of armed men? |
23340 | Was n''t I the boy to make the keers?" |
23340 | Was this, in fact, revolution, and were these simple country girls and their lovers revolutionists? |
23340 | We had met the enemy; were they to be ours? |
23340 | We must a killed a thousand or two of''em, do n''t you think so, Adjutant? |
23340 | Were the incidents of this evening portions of an historic era, and the ground about me to be commemorated by bloodshed? |
23340 | Were we to retreat one hundred miles down the hostile Peninsula,--a battle at every rod, a grave at every footstep? |
23340 | What capital had I for this essay? |
23340 | What do you think, pardner? |
23340 | What do you wish?" |
23340 | What in---- do you want?" |
23340 | What regrets for good resolves unfulfilled, and remorse for years misspent, made hideous these sore and panting hearts? |
23340 | What were the results? |
23340 | What''s to be done with_ us_?" |
23340 | What? |
23340 | Where were the lewd contractors, who had hoarded Confederate scrip by the basest exactions? |
23340 | Who ever loved a mule? |
23340 | Who is responsible for this?" |
23340 | Why ai n''t we led up, sa- a- y?" |
23340 | Why do n''t you shoot me? |
23340 | Why, Jeems, could n''t we foot it, honey?" |
23340 | Will Richmond surrender within a week? |
23340 | Will you kindly bear with me a moment while the janitor gets me a glass of water?" |
23340 | Wo n''t he be jealous? |
23340 | Wo n''t he, lad? |
23340 | Would n''t they let him and Sam off this wunst? |
23340 | Would they finish what friends had commenced,--the sack, the desolation, the slaughter of the place? |
23340 | You dead, Ally- bammy? |
23340 | You do n''t think they''ll refuse to let me take his bones to Baltimore, do you, sir? |
23340 | You have n''t got a drop of water, have you?" |
23340 | and_ should n''t_ she write to Jeems? |
23340 | or, indeed, in the East? |
23340 | said I,"and the Pennsylvania Reserves?" |
23340 | said an officer;"have they moved a battery so close? |
23340 | said one,"what business you got wi''a hoss?" |
23340 | said the Sergeant, sternly;"what are yeou deouin''aout at this hour o''the night? |
23340 | said the old lady;"a must take care of''is''ealth; will a come hoom wi''Tummas and me and drink a bit o''tea?" |
23340 | said the old man in his great voice,"where are you men going?" |
23340 | she said, buoyantly--"is dat all? |
23340 | was the mother''s next sob;"they loved the place: do you think they will know it?" |
48142 | Afoot? |
48142 | And did you visit them before you went to California? |
48142 | And do your father and sisters live in Mississippi? |
48142 | Are you a Southern man? |
48142 | How much do I owe you? |
48142 | How much do you charge? |
48142 | I knew you were from the South,said one:"Why?" |
48142 | Was Dick your brother? |
48142 | Well, how do you know you are going? |
48142 | What is your name? |
48142 | What sort of a looking thing is a dry dock? |
48142 | Where are we? |
48142 | Where are you from? |
48142 | Where are you going? |
48142 | Where have you been? |
48142 | Wonder if all the boys who read these lines understand about the change from sun time to railroad time? |
48142 | Wonder what there is here? |
48142 | After I had signed my name, he said,"Wash, do you want your furlough now?" |
48142 | After the close of the session I approached him with the remarks:"You never saw me before?" |
48142 | Are you ashamed of it? |
48142 | As I spun my yarn that night around the fire- side, my sister said,"Brother, why did n''t you ask Mrs. Edmondson to send you out in a buggy?" |
48142 | As they came up, the owner of the boat said:"Who are you?" |
48142 | Can you curry horses? |
48142 | Could you not do so?" |
48142 | He easily detected me, as I had on a fur cap, very uncommon in the South, He said:"Are you ready to pay me, sir?" |
48142 | He looks around in wonder and what do you think he sees? |
48142 | He replied:"How are you going to get any grub?" |
48142 | He said:"Do you know Safford in California?" |
48142 | He said:"Do you know who he was?" |
48142 | He said:"Do you think I am a fool? |
48142 | He said:"Was it Ike Reader?" |
48142 | He said:"Well, old fellow, are you loyal?" |
48142 | He scowled at me, then said to the old lady:"Who''s this you''ve got here?" |
48142 | Here is a nice town, some large stores, a court house and public school building, all of brick; but what on earth keeps up the town? |
48142 | I ca n''t recall it all now, but after a while it was arranged and the man asked:"What do you want for this?" |
48142 | I choked them down the best I could and finally said:"Yes, sir but how did you know it?" |
48142 | I looked at the astonished lady at the end of the room and stammered out:"Is this Mrs. Edmondson? |
48142 | I said,"How far is it to Newton?" |
48142 | I said:"How can a man be otherwise than loyal when he comes from Beloit, Wis.? |
48142 | I said:"How far is it from Newton now?" |
48142 | I said:"Is there no ferry there?" |
48142 | I said:"Mrs. Edmondson, do you remember a boy coming here two years ago and hiring a horse and buggy to go out to Garlandsville?" |
48142 | I suppose it will be all right with you?" |
48142 | Immediately he took my breath by saying:"You are lately from California, are n''t you?" |
48142 | In signing my name, he asked:"Are you one of the Alabama Crumptons?" |
48142 | Is there anybody living near here, on whom it would not be an imposition, who might let me rest until Monday morning?" |
48142 | ONE who travels and observes could write letters indefinitely about what he sees and hears, but the question is:"How long will the readers stand it?" |
48142 | Resuming the conversation, he said:"How is it that you are afoot?" |
48142 | Seeing me crying in affectionate, helpless distress, the fellow had the heartless bad taste to exultingly ask:"What do you think of that, young man?" |
48142 | Taking dinner with a farmer, who was evidently in sympathy with the Southern people, he said:"How are you going to get across the river?" |
48142 | The next question was:"What is the name of the lecture?" |
48142 | The next question would have been:"Do you know a young fellow by the name of Crumpton, lately from California?" |
48142 | Was it possible, I thought, that somebody had found out my secret and had sent this chap aboard to look me out and arrest me when I reached Aspinwall? |
48142 | What do you say?" |
48142 | What else does man want than that which he can find in Arizona? |
48142 | What is the attraction? |
48142 | What was I to do? |
48142 | What would Alabama farmers think of running a plow with six and eight horses attached? |
48142 | Who in Alabama does not know him, and among us all, whose life has not been touched to some extent by the influence of his? |
48142 | Why he was there I never did know, but when I had finished my speech, he said:"Did you say your name was Crumpton?" |
47474 | Ca n''t you take a joke? |
47474 | Do you know what I''ve been thinking ever since? 47474 Early to bed and early to rise?" |
47474 | How soon shall the power that turned back the clock of civilization be stopped? |
47474 | The bravest battle that ever was fought, Shall I tell you where and when? 47474 Where are they?" |
47474 | A chap from Montana came up to the canteen counter behind which I stood, and said,"Say, did you ever hear the story of the Statue of Liberty?" |
47474 | Ah, but you say, how well were they doing it? |
47474 | And what have we found this"new woman,"this woman of war, to be? |
47474 | At about six o''clock a chap who had been eying me for some few minutes said,"Say,_ I know you; who are you_?" |
47474 | Barnes turned to me, and said,"Shall we walk or wait?" |
47474 | But why dwell on that tragedy? |
47474 | But why multiply instances? |
47474 | CHAPTER XIV_ THE FIGHTING PARSON_"Did you mean what you said about the-- preacher just now? |
47474 | Do you say that woman''s sphere is in the home? |
47474 | Do you want it?'' |
47474 | Does the gigantic little Welshman lift his head betimes and listen for the voices of the Past? |
47474 | Does this all sound like rare presence of mind and complete self- control? |
47474 | Finally I said,"Do you use the gas out there?" |
47474 | His famous"speech"at the tomb of Lafayette,"_ Lafayette, we are here_,"was true to his best form, and what could have been more complete? |
47474 | How do we live?" |
47474 | How long will it stand for the Y. M. C. A. man''s assuming a rôle that does not belong to him? |
47474 | I began with a more or less complete analysis of my own mental state-- but why discuss personal matters when there are other people to talk about? |
47474 | I heard muffled coughing, and a sweat broke out upon me; were we to be trapped without a chance for our lives? |
47474 | I said:''What are you here for? |
47474 | It is an honor to a family, and is that the time for weeping?" |
47474 | On this particular morning I sat up in bed and said sternly, very sternly,"Billy Buttons, what are you doing here, anyhow?" |
47474 | Out under the trees early one morning we talked about the gravest problem a man ever faces,"Where shall I put my life?" |
47474 | Rather, there are two such questions: first, What is the moral character of the American soldier abroad? |
47474 | Then he said,"I stopped there in the sky, and all that I could think was,''Do they feel it?''" |
47474 | They shall not pass!_"What is this spirit? |
47474 | Was a raid to be received, or were our lads to deliver one? |
47474 | Was there gas in the room? |
47474 | Were we under general attack? |
47474 | What did it mean? |
47474 | What is the attitude of the American military authorities in France toward drink and vice? |
47474 | What is the spirit of the trenches? |
47474 | What is the spirit of the trenches? |
47474 | What is this spirit, the spirit of the trenches? |
47474 | When I myself urged a holiday upon them,--and not in a year have they taken one,--they said:''What will our men at the front do when we stop? |
47474 | When will they start again? |
47474 | Where do we go from here?" |
47474 | Where do we go from here?''" |
47474 | While the question,"Is he looking at me?" |
47474 | Who sent you? |
47474 | Whose are you?'' |
47474 | Why? |
47474 | Will the Germans sit back and rest too? |
47474 | With his hands he made a vise and gripped my shoulders, as he said, like one in a dream,"Poling, what are you doing here?" |
47474 | _ I never saw a man injure another man up there, or seek to._ Quarrels? |
47474 | and I replied,"Which one?" |
47474 | and, second, What are the American military authorities in France doing to keep the soldier physically competent and morally fit? |
47474 | secretaries?" |
56407 | ( I wish the reader to mark the manner in which the doctor addressed me, for what has a physician to do with a person''s christian experience?) |
56407 | Ask yourself the question, what did Dr. Bell urge me to relate my christian experience for? |
56407 | Because God saw fit not to give me the abundance of this world was I any the less incapable of happiness here and hereafter? |
56407 | Because I differed from some of my family in my religious opinion must I be taken and imprisoned? |
56407 | Because I was a poor factory girl must I be treated in this brutal manner, in this boasted land of liberty? |
56407 | But why is all this contention about religion? |
56407 | But would I have willingly thrown myself away? |
56407 | Could it be that Eliza Lufkin would turn me out of her house on the third day of my illness? |
56407 | Had a poor persecuted christian ought to be consigned into the hands of unconverted rough men? |
56407 | I felt prepared to meet Christ, but was often asked what I thought of it? |
56407 | I often thought that I would give up my business and labor entirely for the Lord; and then I thought what should I do for a home? |
56407 | If I was in a weak state and tryed about my spiritual state, was it right to shut me up away from all my dear associates and godly influence? |
56407 | In my usual manner I asked him if he had a change of heart? |
56407 | Is it not a law in nature that every body desires happiness? |
56407 | Is there a person this side of the grave for whom God has nothing more to do? |
56407 | Is this done in this free and happy land? |
56407 | Miss Barber said sneeringly, do you not expect to enter the pearly gates and walk the golden streets of the city of the New Jerusalem? |
56407 | My sister had asked me if she should send for brother Stephen? |
56407 | Reader, can you imagine what my sufferings were? |
56407 | Upon that I made the expression"_ grated windows, and locked door_, where am I?" |
56407 | What does such language imply? |
56407 | What kind of treatment is this in this Gospel land of light and liberty? |
56407 | What right had they to put me in such a place? |
56407 | Why is the public so silent upon the sufferings of a poor girl? |
56407 | Why should I wish to start such a thing before the world if it was not so? |
56407 | Why was I shut up and no one allowed to see me? |
56407 | why did he ask me how much I read the Bible, more than any other book? |
42721 | Alone? |
42721 | And how does the frontier run? |
42721 | Been wounded? |
42721 | Ca n''t you see that all the others have been seen to? 42721 Can you see anything?" |
42721 | Had he secured the gun? 42721 Have you any identification papers?" |
42721 | Have you any money? |
42721 | Have you no money at all? |
42721 | Here lives...? 42721 How did that happen?" |
42721 | How long were you at the front? |
42721 | How often have I not wished that at least one of my children were a boy? 42721 However,"he observed,"is it sure that the French would have spared us? |
42721 | Indeed? |
42721 | Let us take some infantry coats,somebody ventured;"what''s the difference? |
42721 | Silly ass? |
42721 | So you wo n''t do it? |
42721 | That''s neither here nor there,said the lieutenant- colonel,"the women and children are French, too, so what''s the harm done? |
42721 | The police? |
42721 | What are their names? 42721 What are you doing here? |
42721 | What are you doing there? |
42721 | What do you want? |
42721 | What? 42721 Where are the officers?" |
42721 | Where are the others? |
42721 | Where do you come from? |
42721 | Where is your equipment?--Lost?--Lost? 42721 Who are you?" |
42721 | Who are you? |
42721 | Who is there? |
42721 | Who''s got honey in his cooking pot? |
42721 | You are sappers, are n''t you? |
42721 | You''re a sapper? |
42721 | You, too? |
42721 | A Socialist comrade, a reservist, had the pluck to cry aloud,"Do you hear that, comrades? |
42721 | And the officers? |
42721 | And what about ourselves? |
42721 | And why not? |
42721 | And yet-- what else could we soldiers do but obey the order? |
42721 | Are you wounded? |
42721 | But how was I to get there? |
42721 | But what was to be done? |
42721 | But where was our company? |
42721 | But who had the time now to bother about that? |
42721 | Did you see the last look he gave us? |
42721 | Do you hear the others cry?" |
42721 | For who was there to care about such"trifles"? |
42721 | Had He cast them aside? |
42721 | Had we not been shooting and stabbing, murdering and clubbing as much and as vigorously as we could the whole night? |
42721 | Had we not received fresh food for cannon so that the mad dance could begin again? |
42721 | Have a look; perhaps you are and do n''t know it?" |
42721 | He or I? |
42721 | He received us with the greeting,"Where have you been, you boobies?" |
42721 | How long do you expect me to wait?" |
42721 | How often since have I not thought of these and similar incidents, asking myself whether I thought those things improper or immoral at the time? |
42721 | I asked them:"Why do n''t you throw me over my bag which I threw away in the hurry? |
42721 | Maybe they are at Vitry?" |
42721 | Regiment?" |
42721 | Retire? |
42721 | See? |
42721 | Thereupon he overwhelmed the soldier with all the"military"expressions he could think of, like,"Are you mad?" |
42721 | Was it fear? |
42721 | Was it true what we had heard-- that those prisoners were not our enemies at all, that they were our brothers? |
42721 | Was that the terrible German war machine? |
42721 | Was the old chap blind or--? |
42721 | We had but to follow to the place where the herd was to be slaughtered; what did it matter where that would be? |
42721 | Well, where? |
42721 | Were those the cowardly, degenerated Frenchmen whom we had driven before us for days? |
42721 | Were we not soldiers, mass murderers, barbarians? |
42721 | What did we care? |
42721 | What should I say if they caught me? |
42721 | What was to happen to us if this should continue for months--? |
42721 | What were others to them? |
42721 | What were the others to us? |
42721 | What were we doing at Aix- la- Chapelle? |
42721 | What were we to do? |
42721 | What were we to them? |
42721 | Whence am I to get the money to pay for this journey?" |
42721 | Where are we going to? |
42721 | Who could describe the feelings that overcome a man in the first real hail of bullets he is in? |
42721 | Who could have known it?" |
42721 | Who is it that has this terrible war, this barbaric crime on his conscience?" |
42721 | Who knew? |
42721 | Who was it to be? |
42721 | Why could it not always be as peaceful? |
42721 | Why was that so? |
42721 | Why were we joyful and why did we crack jokes? |
42721 | Would they hit Apremont? |
42721 | You or I. I? |
51211 | An''will ye tell me, Jack,said his companion,"what sort of foightin''it is, ye loikes?" |
51211 | Did you ever time this horse for a half- mile? |
51211 | How can we, general? 51211 Is that your horse?" |
51211 | Well, why do n''t you call a board of survey and have it condemned? |
51211 | What do I mean? 51211 What do you mean by that, sir?" |
51211 | What is that? |
51211 | What''s the difference? 51211 Why, general? |
51211 | An''sure an''_ do ye think I''m goin''to hell widout me pardner_?" |
51211 | But what will you do when the Yankee gun- boats come up the river and begin to throw hot shot into Savannah? |
51211 | Catching at the suggestion as a revelation of duty, she asked,"And cheerfulness makes better soldiers of the men, does it not?" |
51211 | Did the Southerners really think themselves a match for ten times their own numbers? |
51211 | Did you ever eat one? |
51211 | Do n''t you call that high? |
51211 | Do you know what I''ll do then? |
51211 | Do you think he will advance before spring?" |
51211 | Had we not better oblique into the woods?" |
51211 | How did people manage to live during such a time? |
51211 | How else were his boots and his accouterments to be kept clean, his horse to be groomed, and his meals cooked? |
51211 | My health and my life are worth less than those of my brothers, and if they give theirs to the cause, why should not I do the same? |
51211 | Now you''ll not disappoint me, will you? |
51211 | Pointing to a fearful gash in his own neck, the man replied,--"Do n''t ye see I''m a dead man, captain? |
51211 | S._ Is n''t it pretty high? |
51211 | S._ Yes; but how about luxuries? |
51211 | The teamster called out to his companion, in a loud voice, after the manner of deaf people:"I say, sergeant, who_ is_ that durned old fool? |
51211 | What cared they for the failure of mere human efforts, when they were persuaded that through such failures God was leading us to ultimate victory? |
51211 | What else were they made for? |
51211 | What''s the use of pottering around with technicalities when the efficiency of a battery is at stake? |
51211 | When I had finished he looked at me intently for a moment, and then asked,"Are n''t you the man who came so near shooting me at Ashland?" |
51211 | Who shall say? |
51211 | Why, then, the reader doubtless asks, if this was the temper of the Virginians, did Virginia secede after all? |
51211 | Will you show me a civilian who is charging only six times the prices charged in 1860, except the teacher only? |
51211 | You never see any coffee nowadays, do you? |
51211 | _ Union Soldier._ Are n''t times rather hard over there, Johnny? |
50970 | Are you akin to David Hepler? |
50970 | Boys,he continued,"supposing it should become necessary for us to separate into two squads, how''ll we divide?" |
50970 | But just now, where did you come from just now? |
50970 | Can it be that they have been caught? |
50970 | Can it be,said Smith,"that Averill''s cavalry are on a raid through here?" |
50970 | Has n''t any one been to mill? |
50970 | He lived in Cincinnati, did he, and belonged to Company-------- Regiment, Ohio Volunteers? |
50970 | How about the keys; do n''t the whites get up and unlock? |
50970 | How many were there in the squad? |
50970 | O, one or two,answered Childs,"but they were in a hurry, and did n''t stay long?" |
50970 | We do n''t have to stand picket in the night- time; we do n''t have to march, skirmish, and frequently fight in the night- time, I suppose? |
50970 | Well, this is Lewis''s house, is it? |
50970 | What do you want? |
50970 | What does this mean? |
50970 | What''s your name? |
50970 | Where is Lewis? |
50970 | Why do n''t you get up, then? |
50970 | You did n''t say any thing about us, then? |
50970 | As I was sitting next him, he took hold of my pants at the knee, and inquired rather roughly,"Where do you belong?" |
50970 | As he neared the shore on which we stood we asked,"Are you a brother- in- law to Alderman?" |
50970 | As he was endeavoring to gain the shelter of the bushes the woman noticed him shying off and asked,"What are you afeared of?" |
50970 | As he was staring at us, we accosted him with,"How are you, old fellow?" |
50970 | As it was also half inquisitive, the woman answered that there was a company of soldiers not far off, and asked,"An''t you one of''em?" |
50970 | As soon as we were at leisure he asked,"Are you the boys that came in from prison two days ago?" |
50970 | At the same moment we halted, and Sutherland put his hand to his mouth and asked if any whites were about? |
50970 | Did those who had not finished dinner, now finish it? |
50970 | Giving each of us a hearty shake of the hand, he said,"I know where you are from; will you have some coffee?" |
50970 | He refused to even get out of bed, whereupon Sutherland demanded,"Shall we burst your door down?" |
50970 | He then put his mouth to the string- hole and asked,"Is any body at home?" |
50970 | If asked why so? |
50970 | It was the 30th of March, after we had dressed ourselves anew, when Smith came to me in Lytle Barracks, saying,"Where''s Wood and Sutherland?" |
50970 | On seeing us, Wood approached, saying to the negro,"Where did you come from?" |
50970 | Since we had already traveled twenty miles without rest or sleep, the question was, Can we reach the picket- post by dark? |
50970 | Smith then asked,"Did n''t that man at Camp Reynolds say that Phillips did business near the Public Landing?" |
50970 | Sutherland then asked,"Did you ever see or hear of any Yankee prisoners escaping through here before?" |
50970 | Sutherland then asked,"Smith, where is Taylor? |
50970 | Sutherland then said,"I wonder where Davis and Tige are by this time?" |
50970 | The man said,"That rests with you,"and inquired,"Who are you, and where are you going?" |
50970 | The query then arose, shall we hide in the open woods on our left, or in the inclosed woods on our right? |
50970 | Was supper prepared? |
50970 | Was there time for coffee? |
50970 | We continued talking with Childs, however, and Smith said to him,"I suppose you have n''t reported us, have you?" |
50970 | We pressed on, however, and in the course of an hour we met a man of whom we asked,"How far is it to the pickets?" |
50970 | When we were ready to leave the river this question arose: what shall we do with our canoe-- tie it up or allow it to float down the river? |
50970 | Wood, addressing the largest of the men, asked,"Your name is Lewis, I suppose?" |
50970 | an''t he coming?" |
50970 | and Wood added,"and come in and burst your noggin?" |
50970 | dat so?" |
48997 | Are you a Red Cross man? |
48997 | Are you certain about this? |
48997 | But, Mr. Benson, what would anybody say about such a reason as you give,''going to Holland to visit a friend in war time?'' |
48997 | Have you a commission? |
48997 | How do you prove you are a Red Cross man? |
48997 | Is that right? |
48997 | Well, my man,said the colonel,"you''ll pardon me, but can I do anything to help you? |
48997 | Were you personally acquainted with these innocent people who were murdered? |
48997 | What kind? |
48997 | Who goes there? |
48997 | Who goes there? |
48997 | Why not? |
48997 | Why, my friend,she said,"what makes you look so sober?" |
48997 | Why,said he,"I have a wife and two children at home, and if I go out and get killed what becomes of them?" |
48997 | Yes, the name, please? |
48997 | You''re not really military, and why then are you attempting to buy a military ticket? 48997 _ Qui Vive?_"... No reply. |
48997 | _ Qui Vive?_... Then Valke pressed the trigger and with a groan the apache crumpled up, dead. |
48997 | After a moment I said,"Perhaps, Monsieur, you have my pipe?" |
48997 | And so as I opened the door he rubbed it in, saying,_ Sehr gut, eh?_ With a sickly smile on my face, I replied,"Yes, very good,"and went out. |
48997 | As I met one of the boys he said,"Where were you?" |
48997 | Benson?" |
48997 | But then-- what is death? |
48997 | Could I face my friends, to whom I had preached peace and gentleness, now that I had applauded violence and war? |
48997 | Did he say he was out in the town of Louvain? |
48997 | Going to Holland, what for? |
48997 | Had the nation of_ Kultur_ descended to such fiendish methods of torture? |
48997 | He continued,"Do you love the French?" |
48997 | He said"You will offer yourself to the Red Cross in Belgium?" |
48997 | He said,"Oh, did you go to Harvard?" |
48997 | He said,"Then where did you know him?" |
48997 | He said,"What is it this man wants?" |
48997 | He said,"What will you do about it?" |
48997 | He saw it, and said,"Prisoner, eh?" |
48997 | He was looking right at me, and said''Vincent, how about it?'' |
48997 | How would I stand in the eyes of God? |
48997 | How-- is-- the-- battle-- go----?" |
48997 | I asked,"Is he too busy to attend to business?" |
48997 | I knocked on the door and asked,"Is Colonel Listoe in?" |
48997 | I said,"Wo n''t the Kaiser take care of them?" |
48997 | I said,"You would n''t dare to say these things when that soldier was here, or in front of military men, would you?" |
48997 | I then said to him,"Would you be willing to give me a list of the names of some of the people whom you know to have been innocently murdered?" |
48997 | If they did, what next? |
48997 | My reasons? |
48997 | The man asked me,"What do you want to go to Belgium for?" |
48997 | The man finally said,"I shall write it on your passport that you will offer yourself to the Red Cross in Belgium?" |
48997 | The woman asked,"Have you papers to show that you are military?" |
48997 | Then I said,"Colonel, is there anything else I need to do before I can go to Belgium?" |
48997 | They all go, but how did you die? |
48997 | Was it right or justifiable? |
48997 | What are all the influential and wealthy people doing now, to lighten the burden and help the cause? |
48997 | What did he say? |
48997 | What else could I do? |
48997 | What else could I do?" |
48997 | What is the woman''s name who took the plate upstairs?" |
48997 | What was Mrs. Vanderbilt doing over there working in a hospital? |
48997 | What was the procedure? |
48997 | What would people think? |
48997 | Where was I? |
48997 | Who could pity such a vile ghoul as he?" |
48997 | Who is he?" |
48997 | Why is it?" |
48997 | Would n''t they say it was none of your business?" |
9975 | I rang up a friend on the telephone, and began, as usual:''Hullo, is that you?'' 9975 What nation could be more fitted than the United States to take the lead in the peace negotiations?" |
9975 | Where did you see that? |
9975 | And what if they are? |
9975 | How will she use it? |
9975 | Shall we win? |
9975 | The Belgian authorities asked at the French headquarters:"What shall we do with him?" |
9975 | The maid slyly asked:"Is that the road to Paris?" |
9975 | What if we were yet to be defeated again and again? |
5851 | Now, where is the proper place to break it? |
5851 | What is your badge? |
5851 | 1, but are in the immediate neighborhood, on their plantations? |
5851 | Can we whip the South? |
5851 | General Halleck had a map on his table, with a large pencil in his hand, and asked,"where is the rebel line?" |
5851 | Halleck''s telegram of last night says:"Who sent Smith''s division to Nashville? |
5851 | Has any thing been heard from the troops ordered from Vicksburg? |
5851 | He dropped out of the retinue with an orderly, and after we had ridden a mile or so he overtook us, and I asked him,"What luck?" |
5851 | He said:"What is the use of your persevering? |
5851 | He turned to me and said,"Ca n''t you take your regiment up there?" |
5851 | I answered, rather shortly,''How the devil do you know there is a masked battery? |
5851 | I answered:"How can you go to New York? |
5851 | I asked Deshler:"What does this mean? |
5851 | I had on my undress uniform indicating my rank, and inquired of the sentinel,"Is General Fremont up?" |
5851 | I said I had come to see him on business; and he added,"You do n''t suppose that he will see such as you?" |
5851 | If you ca n''t get over, how can the rebels get at you?'' |
5851 | Mr. Lincoln, who was still standing, said,"Threatened to shoot you?" |
5851 | Of parties claiming foreign protection? |
5851 | Renick said,"What do you want with General Fremont?" |
5851 | Sherman said to me:"Admiral, how could you make such a remark to McClernand? |
5851 | What can I do for you?" |
5851 | When ground is owned by parties who have gone south, and have leased the ground to parties now in the city who own the improvements on the ground? |
5851 | When houses are occupied and the owner has gone south, leaving an agent to collect rent for his benefit? |
5851 | When houses are owned by loyal citizens, but are unoccupied? |
5851 | When movable property is found in stores that are closed? |
5851 | When parties owning houses have gone south, and the tenant has given his notes for the rent in advance? |
5851 | When parties who occupy the house are creditors of the owner, who has gone south? |
5851 | When the owner has gone south, and parties here hold liens on the property and are collecting the rents to satisfy their liens? |
5851 | When the owner lives in town, and refuses to take the oath of allegiance? |
5851 | When the tenant has expended several months''rent in repairs on the house? |
5851 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
5851 | where are they to come from?" |
9874 | ''How far?'' |
9874 | ''How will that do?'' |
9874 | ''Pourquoi ils ne répondent pas?'' |
9874 | ''Pourquoi?'' |
9874 | But if that is so, you will ask, why is it that they have not made more impression upon the enemy''s position? |
9874 | Could any one better epitomise the duties of a good citizen? |
9874 | Had the great guns that destroyed Liége made their first breach at Verdun, what chance was there for Paris? |
9874 | Once to my horror he fixed me with his hard little eyes and demanded''Sherlock Holmes, est ce qu''il est un soldat dans l''armée Anglaise?'' |
9874 | Or had they got from under? |
9874 | Were they buried beneath it? |
9874 | Where were the ants who had made the nest? |
9874 | asked the Commandant, and yet again''Pourquoi?'' |
38497 | ''I am to die then; and-- how long?'' 38497 And pray, madam, where are the boys?" |
38497 | Do n''t know but I may; can you cook? |
38497 | How did it appear? |
38497 | How is that? |
38497 | How much do you think you can earn a month? |
38497 | Then you saw the treatment which I received, and heard the abusive language which Doctor E. made use of on that occasion? |
38497 | Well, my boy, how much work can you do in a day? |
38497 | What the---- does he want of a darkie wig? |
38497 | What whiskey does he drink? |
38497 | What whiskey? |
38497 | Why are you sorry, Colonel? 38497 A little later he was asked,What is the foundation of your hope of Heaven?" |
38497 | And do they hate us? |
38497 | And have the lips of a sister fair Been baptized in their waves of light? |
38497 | And is this hope vain? |
38497 | And now, what shall I say in conclusion? |
38497 | And, through this bloody baptism, shall not our nation be purified at length, and fitted to act a nobler part in the world''s history?" |
38497 | Another question is frequently asked me--"Are not the private soldiers cruelly treated by the officers?" |
38497 | As soon as I was seated she inquired:"To what fortunate circumstance am I to attribute the pleasure of this unexpected call?" |
38497 | But how or where was it to be found? |
38497 | But how was I to make biscuit with my colored hands? |
38497 | But the great question to be decided, was, what can I do? |
38497 | But was I capable of filling it with honor to myself and advantage to the Federal Government? |
38497 | But what woman''s heart could resist the pleading of a mother at such a moment? |
38497 | But where was the chaplain? |
38497 | But why should blue eyes and golden hair be the distinction between bond and free?" |
38497 | Col. R. demanded, in a very stern voice,"Jack, where did you get that beef steak and those chickens?" |
38497 | Could he make any suggestion, or throw the least ray of light upon the subject, which might lead to the whereabouts of the general? |
38497 | Could he tell me when he was expected at headquarters? |
38497 | Could it be that she was meditating the best mode of attack, or was she expecting some one to come, and trying to detain me until their arrival? |
38497 | Did he know of any place where the necessary information could be obtained? |
38497 | Do my friends wish to know how I felt in such a position and in such a costume? |
38497 | Had she been killed or wounded? |
38497 | He then asked:"Can you go direct to that house, and show my men where Allen''s body is?" |
38497 | How shall we cause them to assimilate to us? |
38497 | How shall we ever make them good and useful citizens? |
38497 | I believed it was a christian duty to stand in the foremost of the fight, and why should I be afraid?" |
38497 | I have often been asked:"Have you ever been on a battle- field before the dead and wounded were removed?" |
38497 | I knelt beside him and asked:"What can I do for you, my friend?" |
38497 | I see it now, with its white lips and beseeching eyes; and then the touching inquiry,"Do you think I''ll die before morning?" |
38497 | I told him I thought he would, and asked:"Has death any terrors for you?" |
38497 | I turned to him, and asked:"How is it with you? |
38497 | If fate unite the faithful but to part, Why is their memory sacred to the heart? |
38497 | If they are in carriages, their vehicles are sure to get smashed, and then the trouble arises, what are they to do with their baggage? |
38497 | Is it Bourbon or Monongahela?" |
38497 | Is this affection, so deep, so holy, yearning over its object with undying love, to be nipped in the very bud of its being? |
38497 | Is your peace made with God?" |
38497 | Looking a little startled he exclaimed--"Am I really dying?" |
38497 | May I run and fotch it?" |
38497 | One man asked a surgeon, who had just performed an operation on one of his arms,"Doctor, is there no alternative-- must I be taken prisoner?" |
38497 | One of the men said"See here old woman, are you sure that she can tell us if we find her?" |
38497 | One of the men, desirous of changing the conversation, said:"Uncle, are you blind?" |
38497 | President?" |
38497 | Say, who should mourn for him? |
38497 | Shall I know the bright spirit as thee? |
38497 | Shall we not even know those dear ones in the spirit world? |
38497 | The clerk turned away in disgust, and disdaining to reply to the soldier, he inquired,"But where shall I sleep to- night?" |
38497 | The first words I heard were spoken in the most touching manner--"Oh, why did you send away my boy? |
38497 | The following are a few extracts:"Oh, can it be that my Willie will return to me no more? |
38497 | Then came the interrogatory process-- Who was I, where did I come from, and what had brought me to that city? |
38497 | Then looking at me again in that earnest, scrutinizing manner, she said:"I know I can trust you-- you will do as I have requested?" |
38497 | There is, undoubtedly, vice in the army; but where is there a city or community throughout the North where vice is not to be found? |
38497 | Turning to General R., as he came up, he said:"Wo n''t you hold my horse while I find General R.?" |
38497 | Was there any person there of whom I could inquire? |
38497 | What had become of him? |
38497 | What part am I to act in this great drama? |
38497 | When the last hours of life are closing around And death''s summons cometh to me; Will God send an angel messenger down? |
38497 | Whether they have the countersign or not? |
38497 | Which do you propose to do, enlist and get the bounty, or refuse, and be obliged to go without anything?" |
38497 | Which, think you, acted most as if lacking soul-- the black or the white woman in the hospital at Winchester? |
38497 | Who could it have been? |
38497 | Who is this beside me? |
38497 | Why do you not answer me?" |
38497 | Why not? |
38497 | Will it be, think you, by merely giving them land on which to settle? |
38497 | Will they become one with us because they grow in material wealth and prosperity? |
38497 | Will you hire me, Massa?" |
38497 | Will you''cept dese tings for de poor men?" |
38497 | Would you wish to see me suspended between heaven and earth all the time?" |
38497 | and how dare I wash them for fear the color would wash off? |
38497 | can you tell me where General Richardson''s headquarters are?" |
38497 | do you think you can take care of yourself, now that you have no master to look after you?" |
59519 | Another typical song the British troops sang was:"Standing in the trenches on a cold winter''s night, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
59519 | Are you afraid to come?" |
59519 | Burying stiff''uns on a cold winter''s night, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
59519 | CHAPTER III THE CALL OF THE MOTHERLAND"Uncle, what are you going to do with that gun?" |
59519 | Can you imagine what this sermon meant to those brave men out there on the battlefield? |
59519 | Could he read and answer them all before he would have to go in to the front line? |
59519 | Going back to Blighty on a cold winter''s night, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
59519 | Going reconnoit''ring on a cold winter''s night, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
59519 | He stopped me and said,"Are you one of those fellows I have to salute?" |
59519 | He then said,"Are you ready to leave to- morrow night?" |
59519 | I listened, and heard the same voice shout out these startling words,"Where in h--- is the end of this damned ditch?" |
59519 | I thought you were going for a walk?" |
59519 | Not bad for a blood- thirsty Briton? |
59519 | One wonders, when one sees a German face to face, is this really one of those devils who wrought such devastation? |
59519 | Our"hero"whispered these words:"Where are you going? |
59519 | What in brief does the Red Cross Treaty provide? |
59519 | What is the Red Cross doing in France for the soldiers? |
59519 | What is the Red Cross? |
59519 | What nation first organised such relief? |
59519 | When I had an opportunity to speak to him, I said,"Well, Duffy, how about that dream? |
59519 | When the big''un hit''em, do n''t they look a sight, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
59519 | When we get to Blighty, then we''ll be all right, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
59519 | When we meet with Fritzy then there''ll be a fight, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
59519 | Who first conceived such service on an international basis? |
59519 | Who first organised relief for those wounded, sick, or neglected on the field of battle? |
59519 | Wiring party working and we darn''t show a light, Aw Gawblimey, ai n''t it cold? |
45931 | A la tête...."Vous restez couché comme ça toute la journée? |
45931 | Are we downhearted? |
45931 | Are you qualified to teach musketry? |
45931 | Are you the poor soldiers who are going back to England? |
45931 | Avez- vous des plumes, de l''encre, et du papier à écrire? |
45931 | But do n''t you know? 45931 Can you drill troops?" |
45931 | Et vous n''avez pas eu de blessure à la jambe? |
45931 | Für alle? |
45931 | Have you any last message to send back to your family? |
45931 | Here''s a funny kind of Christmas,he whispered;"next Christmas we''ll be at home, sha n''t we?" |
45931 | How have you got into this party? |
45931 | How long are you going to be? |
45931 | How many divisions were you? |
45931 | How many years''service did you say? |
45931 | Is that all that is the matter? |
45931 | Is there anything I can do for you? |
45931 | Officer? 45931 Oh, you poor men,"said a voice in English,"is there anything we can do for you?" |
45931 | Oui, mais dans quelle parti avez- vous été blessé? |
45931 | Où avez- vous été blessé? |
45931 | Où avez- vous été blessé? |
45931 | Ponjour, Matame; here we are all French, is it not? 45931 The French doctors came round, but what could they do? |
45931 | Voyons, M. le Curé, aimez vouz les Boches? |
45931 | What is he doing here? 45931 Who are you?" |
45931 | Who is Sinclair? |
45931 | Who is that fellow? |
45931 | Why have you English come against us? |
45931 | Why should I be happy this morning,said I,"more than any other morning?" |
45931 | Wilt thou not show us the pretty post- cards, my little one? |
45931 | After five minutes''wait an official looked in at the door, and was about to pop out again, when I asked a question:"Can we have something to eat?" |
45931 | After this function followed the inevitable question,"Where were you wounded?" |
45931 | And the Boches? |
45931 | At one of the halts a German stepped out of the ranks--''Hullo, Jock, what''s ado wi''you?'' |
45931 | Debu when she brought in breakfast,"Who was it died in the ward last night?" |
45931 | Do you love the Boches?" |
45931 | Has he been wounded?" |
45931 | Hope and despair now fought confusedly; where was the truth? |
45931 | How could this quiet gentleman and I, lying sick, be at war? |
45931 | I did not answer him, but turned round to the wounded soldier next me and said to him,"When did you mobilise?" |
45931 | I said,"and what are you doing here?" |
45931 | I wonder if Dr Debu remembers his first visit to me as well as I do? |
45931 | In what part of France was the best French spoken? |
45931 | Is there a man in Carlow or in all Ireland who could have witnessed this scene unmoved? |
45931 | Les jambes nues,"he said, addressing me; and then as"le grand"turned round,"Pardon, quel rang?" |
45931 | My brain was scarcely able for thought in more than one language, and it was after a long pause that I said in English,"Who the devil are you?" |
45931 | Our conversation ran as follows:--"Bonjour, bonjour; vous êtes un officier anglais, n''est- ce pas?" |
45931 | She said to me afterwards,"Où êtes vous allé chercher de si grandes phrases?" |
45931 | Should I have refused my hand at parting? |
45931 | Some people find it impossible when visiting hospitals to get beyond the everlasting phrase,"Where were you wounded?" |
45931 | The cod- fish eyes looked hard at me:"Können Sie Deutsch verstehen?" |
45931 | The figure spoke in French:"Are you a wounded British officer? |
45931 | The question in those days was not merely"Will an operation save life?" |
45931 | Then a brilliant idea struck him:"Parlez vous Français?" |
45931 | There are three that I am looking for; do you know where the others are?" |
45931 | They were very cheery, and it was cheering to see them and hear the familiar query,"Are we downhearted?" |
45931 | Was it indeed wrong, as many said at the 106, thus to converse with a Boche? |
45931 | What Brigade?" |
45931 | What authority have you to search for wounded?" |
45931 | What have we done that destruction should now fall upon our heads? |
45931 | What if the nation still fails to understand? |
45931 | What regiment? |
45931 | What was to be done, where was she to flee for safety? |
45931 | When our officer heard of this he told us to obey orders, so what could we do? |
45931 | While at Cambrai and Würzburg two questions were constantly in my mind-- first, Would there be an exchange of officers? |
45931 | Who would pay attention now to such a detail when whole villages are blown into the air all along a thousand miles of battle? |
45931 | but rather,"Is there time to operate on those whose lives might be saved?" |
45931 | la santé?" |
45931 | mais à quel endroit avez- vous été blessé?" |
45931 | second, If there was to be an exchange, how was I to make sure that my case would not be forgotten? |
44702 | About how many? |
44702 | Are n''t you very tony? 44702 Could I ask you to take some money to one of my men?" |
44702 | Did he do the same by your neighbors? |
44702 | Did you marry Belle Cooke last year? |
44702 | Do n''t you think you are taking a great risk? |
44702 | Had they all gone? |
44702 | Have they been exchanged? |
44702 | Have they ever been made prisoners? |
44702 | Have they got recruits there now? |
44702 | How about your railroad fare? |
44702 | How are they? |
44702 | How far up or down the river is there such a ferry? |
44702 | How is that? |
44702 | How so? |
44702 | How so? |
44702 | How was that, sister? |
44702 | How were they treated? |
44702 | How will we know when we get there? |
44702 | Is he a non- commissioned officer? |
44702 | Is that the way you do? 44702 Outside in this hard rain? |
44702 | Sister, ca n''t you tell me something more about them? |
44702 | Sister,I persisted,"if they had some money would it be of any help to them?" |
44702 | Then, will you kindly bring it in to me when you come in tomorrow morning? |
44702 | What are you going to do? |
44702 | What do we want of the sheriff? |
44702 | What do you read? |
44702 | What do you want of turpentine? |
44702 | What do you want? |
44702 | What is it? |
44702 | What is it? |
44702 | What is it? |
44702 | What is your business? |
44702 | What is your name, rank, regiment and where and when were you captured? |
44702 | What''s your name? |
44702 | Where are you going? |
44702 | Where does he stop? |
44702 | Where in the North were they confined? |
44702 | Where is his office? |
44702 | Who are you? |
44702 | Who is he? |
44702 | Who is your ranking officer? |
44702 | Why did n''t you tell me that before? |
44702 | Why not? |
44702 | Why not? |
44702 | Why should we not draw our pay? |
44702 | Will you be going there again soon? |
44702 | Will you take the dogs in so that I can come in? |
44702 | Would you kindly get me a half pint of good spirits of turpentine? |
44702 | Yes,I replied,"but is it not a greater one to remain here?" |
44702 | Yes,I said,"but how about prisoners of war and especially those who have made their escape? |
44702 | Yes,I said,"but what would it do to you? |
44702 | Yes,he said,"we have been given away, but how shall we get out of this muss?" |
44702 | You tell me I lie, do you? |
44702 | About 10 o''clock we heard dogs, and said:"Hastings, what is that?" |
44702 | After a few days, when we were getting rested, I would hear:"What is it we hear about Libby, Belle Island and Andersonville? |
44702 | After a little, the youngest daughter began to rub her eyes and shed tears, and said:"Mister, we wo n''t tell on you uns, will we mar?" |
44702 | After we were in the stockade the main topic of conversation was:"Was it possible to get out of there?" |
44702 | But the question was:"How did he get onto it?" |
44702 | Captain Aldrich came up, took hold of my right arm and said:"Are not those the guerrillas?" |
44702 | Could I ask you to take it out and sell it for me that I might buy something with the money to help me?" |
44702 | Did you tell me your name was D. A. Langworthy, Captain of Company''E'', 85th New York?" |
44702 | Do you suppose they will take us?" |
44702 | Have any of you got a bottle?" |
44702 | He asked us:"What is the news?" |
44702 | He came up and said,"Captain, where is that bottle?" |
44702 | He said,"I suppose you know there is an order forbidding us to pay officers or men if they are away from their command?" |
44702 | He said:"Why do you wish to go to the jail yard?" |
44702 | He then said:"Am I the first Yankee you have met?" |
44702 | He then said:"Captain, you do not have much to read do you?" |
44702 | He was met by the officer in command of our guard, who saluted and inquired:"Is this Captain Wirtz?" |
44702 | I recognized one of them, and asked our captain of the guard:"Who is that officer with Colonel So- and- So?" |
44702 | I said,"Girls, why do n''t you invite me?" |
44702 | I said:"Boys, are you from the Eighty- fifth New York?" |
44702 | I went to one of them and said:"Sister, have you been out to the race course?" |
44702 | In the afternoon one of my lieutenants said to me:"Are you going to make a break tonight?" |
44702 | Is n''t that a terrible way to bring up children?" |
44702 | The next morning when they came in, this prisoner approached the lieutenant and said:"Lieutenant Davis, can I presume to ask a favor of you?" |
44702 | The next question was:"What to do with the dogs?" |
44702 | Then the question was:"What next?" |
44702 | They looked up and said:"How are you, captain?" |
44702 | They said:"How far are you going?" |
44702 | We had not gone very far before our guide was called by name by someone in the woods who said:"Where are you going?" |
44702 | We said:"Hastings, how about that?" |
44702 | What do you want me to do?" |
44702 | What is your military rule when you meet in this way? |
44702 | What provision is there for them?" |
44702 | When were you paid last?" |
44702 | Which of you officers is in command?" |
44702 | Who else is there down here from Elmira?" |
44702 | Who is in command?" |
44702 | Why was n''t our boys''camp here instead of over there on that hill? |
44702 | Would it pay? |
44702 | and jumped up, embraced me and said:"Captain, did n''t you know us?" |
44702 | and soon was joined by the other two, all weeping and saying:"Mister, we wo n''t tell on you uns, will we mar?" |
44702 | inquired Captain Wirtz,"and what are they?" |
60296 | Do you know,asked Urquhart,"what troops of ours are engaged there?" |
60296 | As I got closer two of them came hesitatingly towards me, saluted, and one said,"Sir, is your name Pringle?" |
60296 | But what''s his name and where is he from?'' |
60296 | Can He find a safe way for our feet in the darkness? |
60296 | Did you barely do your routine duty or go further and lend a helping hand? |
60296 | Did you squeeze in near the stove on a cold day no matter who else was shoved away? |
60296 | Do you wonder that Brodeur loved the dog? |
60296 | Does n''t it seem to you to be the right direction, the right trail, the right guide? |
60296 | How can we test Him when we do not ourselves know the way? |
60296 | How did he use his teeth? |
60296 | Is there another Officers''Mess that has that record? |
60296 | Not much in itself, but it meant-- well, who could tell what amazing new finds it might mean? |
60296 | Or were these the wild, elemental forces of nature playing at games that the Creator had taught them and that they had played from all eternity? |
60296 | Throw my bowlful of porridge away and do without half a breakfast on account of that button which I could n''t swallow? |
60296 | Was it Shep''s way of boxing his ears? |
60296 | Was there anything that we could do for him? |
60296 | What are the credentials of Christ when He offers himself as our Guide? |
60296 | What could I do? |
60296 | What did I do? |
60296 | What direction would He lead us? |
60296 | What is the great burden of His message accepted by all Christian Churches down underneath the load of dogma, form and ceremony? |
60296 | What plan did I follow in dealing with these numerous needs? |
60296 | What then would everybody think? |
60296 | What would you have done in my place? |
60296 | When you got a fruitcake from home did you"hog it"all yourself or share it with your chums in generous chunks? |
60296 | When you want to minister to men in such times, do n''t your thoughts just naturally turn to the Man of Nazareth? |
60296 | Where would He lead us if we followed Him? |
60296 | Who can quarrel with such gambling? |
60296 | Why not you as well as those other fellows? |
60296 | Will He leave us to follow when we can not see him? |
6962 | And what became of the rest? |
6962 | What bad luck? |
6962 | As soon as the siege of Knoxville was raised, he applied himself earnestly to the question, What next? |
6962 | But how as to amnesty? |
6962 | Do n''t military success imply the safety of Sambo, and_ vice versa_?... |
6962 | He telegraphed the news to Rosecrans with the significant question, What does it mean? |
6962 | If the law- abiding were disarmed and those who scattered and refused to give up their weapons were at large, how could the States preserve the peace? |
6962 | It concluded,"Would it not be well to put Sherman and all other commanding generals on their guard in this respect?" |
6962 | One of the first questions a soldier asks in regard to his camping- place is, Where is water to be got? |
6962 | The Confederate cause was unquestionably in great straits, and calling for men and means was a good deal like Glendower''s call,"Will they come?" |
6962 | The question would naturally arise, What might happen in the places from which troops were drawn, if they were not used by Johnston immediately? |
6962 | There were no doubt difficulties in the way-- when are there not? |
6962 | What, then, as to slavery? |
6962 | When discussing a situation with his familiars, after strongly stating his own view he would add,"Now what is Joe Johnston''s game?" |
6962 | Will you be on this part of the line soon?" |
6962 | Would the Ninth Corps remain in the department, or would it be ordered to the East for duty under Burnside, as was already rumored? |
6962 | a regimental wag cried out,"do they issue butter to you regularly now?" |
6962 | if your horse is so weak on Sunday what would have become of him and you on a week day?" |
8380 | But how do you know you killed that many? |
8380 | My contract requires me to stop on here until December of 1898, but it does n''t sound so long if you say''a year after this,''does it? |
8380 | Akers, of the_ London Times_, and_ Harper''s Weekly_, who has held two commissions from the Queen? |
8380 | But why should we not go a step farther and a step higher, and interfere in the name of humanity? |
8380 | For what voice crying in the wilderness are they still waiting? |
8380 | Is it likely, having risked such a price for it that they would lie about what they have seen? |
8380 | Is it that the American people doubt the sources from which their information comes? |
8380 | It will not do to put it aside by saying that"War is war,"and that"All war is cruel,"or to ask,"Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
8380 | Now suppose the troops are sent at short notice from the military camps along the line to protect any particular point? |
8380 | Or if the members of the Senate and of Congress can not visit Cuba, why will they not listen to those who have been there? |
8380 | What further manifestations are needed? |
8380 | What will convince them that the time has come? |
8380 | Why should we tolerate Spanish savages merely because they call themselves"the most Catholic,"but who in reality are no better than this naked negro? |
6961 | But where are_ you_ going? |
6961 | Who are you? |
6961 | And where were Burnside''s men? |
6961 | Does one need better evidence how much worse than useless was McClellan''s secret service? |
6961 | Have we time for the sifting process? |
6961 | Here, however, we have to meet the question What is military art as applied to the problem of winning battles or campaigns? |
6961 | I said to the young man,"Did General Reno send you with any order to me?" |
6961 | Is an advance of our army likely to prevent additional reinforcements being sent against General Grant by Bragg? |
6961 | Is an immediate or early advance of our army advisable? |
6961 | The President had coupled his earliest telegraphic congratulations with the question,"Ca n''t you beat them some more before they get off?" |
6961 | To"hold at all hazards"might be understood, but what is the effect of the phrase"if possible"? |
6961 | What d''ye think of that?" |
6961 | What, then, was the plan of battle of which the first step was this movement of Hooker''s? |
6961 | Where should Burnside have been, if not at Cincinnati? |
6961 | Will any other hypothesis intelligibly account for McClellan''s dispositions and orders? |
6961 | Will you neglect the chance?" |
45810 | But where''s the château? |
45810 | C''est de quel couleur, Mademoiselle? |
45810 | Did n''t you just hear that the lady is American? |
45810 | Did you have enough to eat? |
45810 | Do n''t tell me you''re married? |
45810 | Have you your papers, your permis de conduire? |
45810 | I suppose,said Mrs. Bigelow,"that''gilets''means''preservers''?" |
45810 | Mais que voulez- vous? 45810 Où est- ce?" |
45810 | Well, not exactly,said I;"''gilets''means waistcoats, and''sauvetage''means salvation; literally, the waistcoats of salvation; quaint, is n''t it?" |
45810 | Were the Boches nice to you? |
45810 | ( I would like to have eyes to see you now, old fellow; is it true you are just going to be married?) |
45810 | ( Why be called fatuous if you can not live up to it?) |
45810 | A queer choice? |
45810 | Also you would find"essence,"where to get it, how much to pay for it,--"shall we stop here and buy some, or chance it till we get home?" |
45810 | And where do we come in, we pensionnaires? |
45810 | But in some ways I would rather have them drop cards than bombs on the villages, had n''t you? |
45810 | C''est vrai que tu vais te marier?" |
45810 | Could n''t you tell some of our dear friends about the Vestiaire? |
45810 | Did I ask you if you have read"God, the Invisible King,"by Wells? |
45810 | Did you ever have meat and eggs?" |
45810 | Did you ever? |
45810 | Did you hear about the mirrors used on submarines so that they are very hard to see? |
45810 | Do n''t forget, Father, you''re going to get some confiding editor or journalist to send me to the devastated towns? |
45810 | Do you remember reading it with Mother at Bailey''s last summer? |
45810 | Do you remember the day we looked up Denfert- Rochereau on the map? |
45810 | Do you remember when we used to struggle and squeak through"Anges purs, anges radieux"?--where it goes up a key each time? |
45810 | Do you suppose I will want white wine with luncheon and red with dinner, when I get back? |
45810 | Do you think, Father, you could get me a chance? |
45810 | Does n''t it sound entrancing? |
45810 | Does n''t that sound pretty nice? |
45810 | He kept saying,"What is there for me to do?" |
45810 | How can I describe Bordeaux as we saw it through that musty cab window? |
45810 | How can a moving plane hit another in the dark? |
45810 | How can either side tell which is friend and which is enemy, lights or no lights? |
45810 | How can even an anti- aircraft gun hope to hit a tiny moving plane way up in the air? |
45810 | How did they have the men and the time to do it all? |
45810 | I guess it must have sunk,--isn''t it just my luck? |
45810 | I said,"How much do you suppose the cheapest little frock would be?" |
45810 | I said,"Vous pouvez dire hop- scotch?" |
45810 | I should have told Madame that we were navrées not to have enough room to keep them and would they be safe in the cellar? |
45810 | I wonder if it would interest you to hear what we did for one family in the way of moving? |
45810 | I wonder if they are really using them as much as they expected to? |
45810 | I wonder if you have the same picture that I had of it before I arrived? |
45810 | I wonder just how soon one would be killed if she tried it? |
45810 | I wonder what that meant? |
45810 | I wonder what they expected-- that I would stay by the side of the road all night with a puncture? |
45810 | I''ve never been so far away before, have I? |
45810 | Is n''t it awful to think of Padua being bombarded? |
45810 | It is a favorite thing to send, but even with that taken into consideration, it seems odd, does n''t it? |
45810 | Miss Curtis will have a wonderful experience, wo n''t she? |
45810 | Now, do n''t you call that the limit? |
45810 | Oh, you dear, dear people, how did you ever think of doing such a wonderful thing? |
45810 | Où vastu, mon vieux? |
45810 | She said that she did n''t serve any meals except breakfast, but would we like eggs with our coffee? |
45810 | The nice American said that he"knew nothing about a car,"but"could he help?" |
45810 | They are not very dignified, I think, and it is an amusing campaign, is it not? |
45810 | We made wild speculations-- were they French or Boche? |
45810 | We went in and said"How do you do?" |
45810 | Well, I was n''t dressed, and I could n''t go and ask the steward, so I said,"Go and find the steward, and say,''Où sont les gilets de sauvetage?''" |
45810 | Well, there was n''t much chance for a vacation for me, was there? |
45810 | Well, there was supply-- what cared I for the Metro? |
45810 | What am I usually doing the first week in July? |
45810 | What in the world could I say? |
45810 | What is going to happen? |
45810 | What will stop it all? |
45810 | What would you say if I brought him home with me? |
45810 | Where does the money come from to finance this war? |
45810 | Which of the deep booms were guns and which bombs? |
45810 | Why should any have lights? |
45810 | Why should n''t they be paid for it, and paid well? |
45810 | Why, why, do n''t we all use the same system of measuring clothes, coal, essence, and lots of things? |
45810 | Will there be anything beautiful left after this war? |
45810 | Wo n''t that be great? |
45810 | Would n''t it be funny if-- I wonder how thick the roof of this place is, anyway? |
45810 | but Marje-- a diplomatic one-- asked Madame if she thought it was quite comme il faut for two young girls to have a washstand in their salon? |
5850 | Any chickens? |
5850 | Any eggs? |
5850 | Any flour or grain? |
5850 | Are you a member of the other House? |
5850 | Are you the Governor of a State? |
5850 | Certainly not"Have you ever had a vote of thanks by name? |
5850 | Do you think you could become so interested in my conversation as not to notice the door- keeper? |
5850 | Have you any meat? |
5850 | Is anybody in the house? |
5850 | Is it locked up? |
5850 | Is no one about who can get in? |
5850 | Well,said he,"what do you want of me?" |
5850 | Well,said he,"why do n''t you go into the gallery?" |
5850 | What do you live on? |
5850 | Why? |
5850 | A few days afterward the husband again appealed to his commanding officer( Taylor), who exclaimed:"Have n''t you got a musket? |
5850 | After shaking hands all round, the Governor said,"Coleman, what the devil is the matter here?" |
5850 | At every meal the steward would come to me, and say,"Captain Sherman, will you bring your ladies to the table?" |
5850 | Ca n''t you defend your own family?" |
5850 | Governor of a State? |
5850 | He asked me,"Where?" |
5850 | He inquired,"Why not both?" |
5850 | He then asked in his quizzical way,"Are you a foreign embassador?" |
5850 | He then said,"Have you any impudence?" |
5850 | I touched it and examined one or two of the larger pieces, and asked,"Is it gold?" |
5850 | In that event, would it not be possible for you to become a citizen of our State? |
5850 | Major Childs inquired,"Where is Coacoochee?" |
5850 | Major W. T. Sherman: Will you accept the chief clerkship of the War Department? |
5850 | Mason said to me,"What is that?" |
5850 | Member of Congress?" |
5850 | So that among the younger officers the query was very natural,"Who the devil is Governor of California?" |
5850 | The Governor knocked at the door, and on inquiry from inside"Who''s there?" |
5850 | We then returned to Benicia, and Wool''s first question was,"What luck?" |
5850 | Wo n''t you speak your mind freely on this question of slavery, that so agitates the land? |
5850 | said Mr. Lincoln,"how are they getting along down there?" |
29264 | Well, my dear, point out where to find them? |
29264 | ( Do you know any thing about it, O, Halleck?) |
29264 | 23._--Why could not Mr. Lincoln choose for his Secretary of State some man who has a holy and wholesome horror of pen, ink, and paper? |
29264 | Among others, hear the following query:_ Whether this unconquerable and irresistible nation shall suddenly perish through imbecility?_ etc. |
29264 | And shall not our butchered soldiers be avenged? |
29264 | And what free State is not New England''s son? |
29264 | And what is done? |
29264 | And who is now? |
29264 | And why is Stanton silent? |
29264 | And why not? |
29264 | And why not?... |
29264 | And why not?... |
29264 | Are bad, worthless, insincere, selfish men to be the agencies and the factors of great and lofty principles? |
29264 | Are contracts at the bottom of the puff, or is it only one of_ Weed''s_ tricks to defile and to ruin_ Stanton_? |
29264 | Are not the humble, suffering, orderly contrabands infinitely superior to the rowdy, unruly, ignorant, savage and bloody whites? |
29264 | Are the Gods against us? |
29264 | But are the French people so debased as to submit? |
29264 | But how could the government entrust him with this expedition? |
29264 | But if not, will Meade attack Lee? |
29264 | But of what benefit to me is this fatal, this Cassandra gift of foreseeing? |
29264 | But were it true? |
29264 | But what else could he do? |
29264 | But where is the responsibility? |
29264 | But who inaugurated and directed them in 1861? |
29264 | But why do you suffer yourselves to be crushed down by the upper- crust of senile nincompoops? |
29264 | But why has the Senator forgotten to ascend to one of the paramount causes? |
29264 | But why not previous to the battle? |
29264 | But, to be candid, how can activity and dash be expected from generals who have at their head, a shallow brained pedant like Halleck? |
29264 | Comparative to what? |
29264 | Comparative to what? |
29264 | Could Seward learn how to be earnest, precise and clear, without spread- eagleism? |
29264 | Does Halleck- Burnside intend to wait until the rebels shall be thoroughly prepared to repel any attack that may be made upon them? |
29264 | England, in 1848- 9, whipped women in Ireland, and how many thousands have been murdered by the_ Decembriseur_? |
29264 | For heaven''s sake let us know, pray,_ pray_ let us know who was Lincoln''s amanuensis? |
29264 | Forgotten the true son of the people? |
29264 | Had Lee ever vetoed Stewart''s raids? |
29264 | Had Lincoln, had Halleck meddled? |
29264 | Has England considered Napper Tandy and his aids as belligerents? |
29264 | Has England ever treated the Irish according to the laws of international warfare? |
29264 | Has Lincoln played false to humanity? |
29264 | Has Sumner insinuated this himself to some newspaper reporter in_ extremis_ for news? |
29264 | Has he a clear comprehension of the sacrifice thus perpetrated by the people? |
29264 | Has not Mr. Lincoln thrown confusion around? |
29264 | Has not this time Lee overshot the mark? |
29264 | Have any generals Franklinized? |
29264 | How can Burnside venture to say that after the repulse, during three days he expected the enemy to leave his stronghold and attack him-- Burnside? |
29264 | How could he? |
29264 | How could it be otherwise, with Lincoln, Seward and Halleck at the head? |
29264 | How could the Senator thus belittle one of the most elevated political positions in the world, that of a Senator of the United States? |
29264 | How many such patriots as Wadsworth, can we boast of? |
29264 | How much foresight have your-- dearly- paid-- servants shown? |
29264 | How should a Halleck do so? |
29264 | How will it end? |
29264 | How, in fact, was Burnside to move a great army without pontoons? |
29264 | How, then, can the Democrats rave for McClellan, the most unfighting soldier ever known? |
29264 | I am sorry to bring such details before the public, but how otherwise convict a liar? |
29264 | If Lee committed a fault, are you, gentlemen, in duty bound to imitate his mistakes? |
29264 | If Meade had not, or has not troops enough, why is not Foster ordered here with all he has? |
29264 | If all is confirmed concerning Hooker''s incapacity, then it is a crime to keep him in command; but who after him? |
29264 | If such declaration was needed, why not make it through the regular representatives of the country, as are Mr. Adams and Mr. Dayton? |
29264 | In America, not to have an adequate material? |
29264 | In the North, the Governors, all of them,( Seymour?) |
29264 | Is Mr. Lincoln becoming seriously serious? |
29264 | Is Stanton dragged down by the infuriated fates? |
29264 | Is he acting thus_ in obedience to orders_? |
29264 | Is it forgery or stealing? |
29264 | Is it my fault that they give me no occasion? |
29264 | Is it not so, Lincoln? |
29264 | Is it the Constitution, the Statute, is it the incarnate four years formula which seals Stanton''s heart and brains? |
29264 | Is it to be a commercial union, this hobby of your minister here? |
29264 | Is it to organize some underground road to reunion on the Mercier- Seward- Richmond programme? |
29264 | Is not Lincoln hailed as the new Moses? |
29264 | Is not Virginia the first in the slave States for the number of slaves? |
29264 | Is such a thing possible? |
29264 | Is that the_ accident_ of which the precious proclamation so impudently speaks? |
29264 | Is the North not pouring forth its blood and its treasures, and are they not all squandered by counterfeits? |
29264 | Is the example of Judas forgotten? |
29264 | It can not be a_ reconnaissance_--of what? |
29264 | L. B._--Are the people again to receive a President from the hand of intriguers, from politicians, or from honest imbeciles? |
29264 | Loyalty to principles? |
29264 | Mr. Lincoln may now be serious in a great many matters, but if he could have been serious a year ago-- how much money would have been economized? |
29264 | O, Halleck, where are the depots? |
29264 | O, why can not Mr. Seward learn from Gortschakoff how not to put gas in such weighty documents? |
29264 | O, you Bible- reading people, can Judases and rotten consciences carry out good principles? |
29264 | Oh why is Lee engaged on the bad and damnable side? |
29264 | Oh, why has Congress forgotten to pass a law forbidding Seward, for decency''s sake, to make himself ridiculous? |
29264 | On paper or in the grave? |
29264 | On the authority of the published"DIARY,"I am asked, even by letters,"Where is Stanton?" |
29264 | Or are not rather all his favorites-- not even whitened-- sepulchres of manhood, of mind and of sacred intellect? |
29264 | Or has imbecility exasperated even the merciful but rational Christian God to that extent, that God turns his back upon us? |
29264 | Or perhaps orders exist not to bring about a general engagement? |
29264 | Parumne campis atque Neptuno super Fusum est--[Yankee] sanguinis? |
29264 | Pretty well has all this succeeded, and why can not the younger generation seize the helm in this terrible crisis? |
29264 | So did the Herodians sneer at the star of Bethlehem; and where now are the Herodians? |
29264 | Some man gifted with a sound brain, who never is quick at writing a dispatch, and would demand double salary as the price of writing one? |
29264 | Staff duties require special studies, they are the highest military science; and where, in the name of all, could Butterfield have acquired it? |
29264 | The people fails not, but how about the helmsmen? |
29264 | The_ New York Times_ begins to mend its bad ways; but how long will it continue in the better path? |
29264 | Then we march a few miles onwards, more miles backwards, and what not? |
29264 | Then why make it? |
29264 | To amuse the people? |
29264 | To those of the enemy? |
29264 | Upon what? |
29264 | Warren fought well, but if Sykes was within supporting distance, why did they not annihilate the rebel corps? |
29264 | Was Hooker again stunned, to make such a deliberate mistake-- nay, crime? |
29264 | Was it done without any plan? |
29264 | Well, Loyalty, but to whom? |
29264 | Well, pompous Chase; how do you feel for having sided with Seward? |
29264 | Well, why has Lincoln forgotten Texas all this time? |
29264 | Were it not so, how many rhetors would be abolitionists? |
29264 | What for? |
29264 | What is in the wind? |
29264 | What is the matter? |
29264 | What is the use to deny it now? |
29264 | What is to be more scorned? |
29264 | What knows he about them? |
29264 | What must the crown lawyers in England have thought of Mr. Evart''s great mastery of international laws? |
29264 | What was to be answered? |
29264 | What will Chase do? |
29264 | What will be the manoeuvring to- morrow? |
29264 | What, in the name of common sense, could he do with a single corps, when the whole army was repulsed? |
29264 | Where are they? |
29264 | Where could the rebels scrabble together such a number? |
29264 | Where, oh where are the paid men? |
29264 | Who ever read that Alexander, or Cesar, or Frederic, or Napoleon, or even captains of lesser fame, selected their ground? |
29264 | Who gave them? |
29264 | Who knows how far the soldiers are right? |
29264 | Who will be taken in? |
29264 | Who will have the best, the Monitors or the batteries? |
29264 | Whom do they hope to humbug in this way? |
29264 | Why does Hooker publish such a proclamation? |
29264 | Why has not_ pater conscriptus_ uttered a single word of condemnation from his Senatorial_ fauteuil_, and kept mute during three sessions? |
29264 | Why is Stanton silent? |
29264 | Why not mask our movements before Gordonsville from the observation of Lee? |
29264 | Why not? |
29264 | Why shall it not be so here, when want of energy is the word? |
29264 | Will Halleck soon be sent to California? |
29264 | Will Mr. Lincoln have courage to dismiss McClellan from the army? |
29264 | Will Mr. Lincoln realize the grandeur of this unparallelled trust? |
29264 | Will a man start up in the next Congress and call the malefactors to account? |
29264 | Will any European government, power, or statesman permit the United States to acquire even the most barren rock on the European continent? |
29264 | Will it be possible to find among our Potomac generals one in whom revelation will supply experience? |
29264 | Will the iron- clads resist the concentric fire from so numerous batteries? |
29264 | Will this country ever escape the tutorship of sham science? |
29264 | Will this new disgrace serve to strengthen the Administration? |
29264 | _ August 18._--A patriotic gentlewoman asked me why I write a diary? |
29264 | _ January 28._--The Congress almost expires; and will or can the incarnated constitutional formula save the country? |
29264 | _ July 13._--What is_ Meade_ doing? |
29264 | _ June 30._--How will Meade compose his staff? |
29264 | _ September 22._--On all sides I hear the question put, Who is Gilmore? |
29264 | _ September 24._--How could Meade let Lee send troops to Bragg, and why Meade attacked or attacks not? |
29264 | _ Tschto den griadoustchi nam gotowit?_( Puschkine.) |
29264 | _ What_ accident? |
29264 | are our Generals to carry on a mere war of civilities? |
29264 | as the man for the times, as the only one God sent to direct the people, and to grapple with the stern, earnest emergencies and perils? |
29264 | how can you thus pointedly and mercilessly criticise your own deeds and policy? |
29264 | mass them on the south side of the Potomac under such generals as Heintzelman, Sigel, etc., and take the enemy between two fires? |
29264 | or is Stanton eaten up by the rats in the Cabinet? |
29264 | to increase losses in men and in material? |
29264 | when a Franklin is still sustained, when a Seward and a Halleck remain firm in their high places as the gates of hell? |
29264 | who so recklessly waste all the people''s sacrifices, will you volunteer more brains and less selfishness? |
34344 | Ai n''t you Mr. O. K., that was out in Texas with Major J----? |
34344 | Are you both Yankee soldiers? |
34344 | Are you sure that your friends over there have not heard of your being in the army? |
34344 | Aunty,seeing that I was awake, came closer to my bed, and, in a kindly way, asked:"How is you dis mornin''?" |
34344 | But do n''t I have to pay something for the delivery? |
34344 | But, my dear boy, why did you refuse to take the oath of allegiance? 34344 But,"said the old scoundrel,"why did n''t you stay here last night?" |
34344 | Do you know Colonel Blank, of Baltimore? |
34344 | Does the Secretary want to procure any information as to General Patterson''s movements? |
34344 | How does a man feel in battle? |
34344 | How is it that your companion in the uniform ran away on the approach of our troops? |
34344 | How long have they been here? |
34344 | Is that so? 34344 It looks as if something was up, do n''t it?" |
34344 | Oh, you have passes, have you? 34344 Rd"did not seem to comprehend, and made the telegraphic signal for interrogation(?) |
34344 | Right away; do you hyar? |
34344 | Say, Baker, ai n''t you just playing off as a Dutchman? 34344 That''s enough, ai n''t it? |
34344 | What are they doing up there? |
34344 | What are they talking about so much; why do n''t they come on? |
34344 | What are you doing there? |
34344 | What did he say? |
34344 | What do they do with them? |
34344 | What regiment was your friend in? |
34344 | What shall I tell him? |
34344 | When did you see him? |
34344 | Where in---- are you going? |
34344 | Why,I said,"are we near the navy yard?" |
34344 | Yes, I know; but what soldiers? |
34344 | 121 The Sergeant kindly Gave Him the Steel 441"To Father: I am Safe; Are All Well at Home?" |
34344 | 282 Cavalry Picket on the Rappahannock 473"Colonel Mosby''s Soldiers, I Reckon, Sir?" |
34344 | 338"Bill, Ai n''t He the Fellow?" |
34344 | 66 An Interview with Parson Brownlow 304"Are You Union, or Confederate?" |
34344 | Addressing me courteously, he said:"What in the name of all that''s good brings you out on this road on such a dark night, disturbing our sleep?" |
34344 | Broome?" |
34344 | Ca n''t you go up there and see them for me?" |
34344 | Could I forget that banquet? |
34344 | Could it be possible that we were to be baffled at last? |
34344 | Dear me, what bass drums there were in General Patterson''s army; was n''t there one to each company? |
34344 | Did we catch any fish? |
34344 | Did you ever try to get into a hammock? |
34344 | Do n''t you see the''old man''is full?" |
34344 | Every person I have talked with for five minutes about Gettysburg, asks the question:"Were you there when Pickett charged?" |
34344 | He drew his chair right up in front of mine, looking me straight in the eye, as he said:"Now, my young friend, what is it that you propose?" |
34344 | He replied to my observation:"Yes; where did you come from?" |
34344 | Here are some Maryland secessionists being sent away down here to Tennessee to punish and coerce Unionists?" |
34344 | His reply to this put me off my pins entirely:"Well, why do n''t you all go to your own home in your own country?" |
34344 | How, then, could I explain this arrest to them? |
34344 | I asked only the one question--"Where do we go?" |
34344 | I made the signal for interrogation, or question, which all operators understand to mean,"I did not hear you,"or"What did you say?" |
34344 | I met at the hotel office my companion, the Colonel, who, upon seeing me, rushed over the office floor to say:"Why, where the devil have you been? |
34344 | I said more deliberately:"That message about Banks-- is there anything important?" |
34344 | I spoke first, with the desperation of an outlaw challenging a helpless traveler:"Are you Union or Confederate?" |
34344 | In a voice trembling with suppressed rage, he said, looking savagely at me:"Did n''t you see me at the theater the other night?" |
34344 | Instead of that, however, in a quiet, slow- speaking voice, I suggested involuntarily:"How about the Monitor and Merrimac?" |
34344 | Is n''t he just too nice?" |
34344 | It may also be asked why I bring this subject up at this late date, and after Hancock''s death? |
34344 | It must have been a violent shock to father, but why should I so write and rouse within all of you the bitter renewal of your grief? |
34344 | Making an appearance at the head of the stairway, she asked, pleasantly:"What in the world is the matter with you?" |
34344 | Never turning my head, I was walking on hurriedly when the blamed fool sang out after me so everybody could hear:"What?" |
34344 | Of course, I must have imagined the worst; who would not have done so under the same conditions? |
34344 | SKETCHING, ARE YOU?"] |
34344 | Sketching, Are You?" |
34344 | Superintendent here?" |
34344 | The Colonel said:"You have a letter to send home I am told?" |
34344 | The Colonel, who was the jolly fellow of this trio, said, laughingly:"Hello, boy, what have you been up to?" |
34344 | The General, without halting his slow movement, gruffly said:"Where is Slocum?" |
34344 | The first words the brass tongue of the instrument sounded to his startled ears were:"I am O. K."--this was my telegraphic signal--"Who are you?" |
34344 | The hint was sufficient, and to my hurried inquiry:"Are there any cavalrymen at the house?" |
34344 | The man on duty at the door looked at me with disgust as he said:"That''s no damned doctor, man; do n''t you know General Meade?" |
34344 | The officer now began to get mad and, in a commanding tone, inquired:"What is your business, sir, with the General?" |
34344 | The only consolation I got from the officer was,"Can your horse stand it? |
34344 | Then Lanyard with a contemptuous look, turned to Baker and said:"Say, Dutchy, you blasted rascal, you played me for a marine, did n''t you?" |
34344 | Then she added, laughing heartily as she spoke:"Did n''t you hear him slam the door?" |
34344 | Then taking my arm, familiarly, said:"Come along, the boys will all be glad to see you?" |
34344 | Then the old lady chipped in with:"Shall I send Mammy to help you bathe it with warm water, before you go to bed?" |
34344 | Then, in an undertone,"Are you all alone?" |
34344 | To gratify the General, and get around the question, I asked:"Is it''Rd?''" |
34344 | To his sleepy growl of"Who''s there?" |
34344 | Under the circumstances, what could I do? |
34344 | Under the circumstances, what else could I do but take this advantage of the good people? |
34344 | Was n''t there a Rebel camp near Leesburg, or was that the name of the town near that mountain? |
34344 | We passed the two men-- one of whom was in uniform-- and as we did so, I heard one of them, say:"That''s him, ai n''t it?" |
34344 | Were they going back to their Rebel camps? |
34344 | What are you doing? |
34344 | What can I do for you? |
34344 | What could I do? |
34344 | What could have been better for my purpose? |
34344 | What did I do? |
34344 | What did I do? |
34344 | What would have been the result,_ if_ Meade had been supported by Franklin, when he broke Stonewall Jackson''s line at Fredericksburg? |
34344 | What would you have done? |
34344 | When Covode crawled into the carriage, Mr. Moorehead said,"Well, what''s the programme?" |
34344 | When handing the paper back to the clerk, he remarked jocularly:"They have made you sign a mighty tight paper, have n''t they?" |
34344 | When he stopped his conversation long enough to hear me, he simply said, in his polite, kindly way:"Well, you come in and see me again, wo n''t you?" |
34344 | Where is Slocum now? |
34344 | Where is he?" |
34344 | Where shall your answer be delivered?" |
34344 | Who are you?" |
34344 | Who in---- are you, anyhow?" |
34344 | Who is it?" |
34344 | Why did n''t I get ahead of them? |
34344 | Why did n''t you say something to me before? |
34344 | Will you please give me your name?" |
34344 | With my own hand trembling on the telegraph key I sent my own message, as follows:"To father: I am here safe; are all well at home?" |
34344 | You do n''t know what that is? |
34344 | [ Illustration: TAPPING THE TELEGRAPH WIRE.--"ARE THE YANKS IN FREDERICKSBURG?"] |
34344 | [ Illustration: TO FATHER:"I AM SAFE; ARE ALL WELL AT HOME?"] |
34344 | [ Illustration:"ARE YOU UNION OR CONFEDERATE?"] |
34344 | [ Illustration:"BILL, AIN''T HE THE FELLOW?"] |
34344 | did n''t you tell me to keep close to you?" |
34344 | is a question often asked, or"Were you frightened the first time?" |
34344 | is that you, Yank?" |
34344 | now?" |
43590 | ''General, your men do n''t appear to work well to- day?'' 43590 Do you know of any instance where volunteer troops have successfully stormed works as strong as those which defend the approach to Secessionville?" |
43590 | Do you mean Governor Stevens? |
43590 | Have you a thousand men at your disposal, and suffer yourself to be set at defiance by a wagon- master? 43590 Have you any reason to believe that the result in the present case will be different in its character from what it has invariably been heretofore?" |
43590 | Is Governor Stevens your father? 43590 Now, how are we here as at a post? |
43590 | Should I speak to you of things that happened long ago, as you have done? 43590 What effect would it have on the Sound should nothing be done until May or June? |
43590 | A principal chief of the lower Spokanes said:"Why is the country in difficulty again? |
43590 | After a pause of some minutes Governor Stevens said:--"I will ask Ambrose where is Victor?" |
43590 | Again, what is the interest of the Hudson Bay Company? |
43590 | And is not something due the_ morale_ of his troops, which was almost systematically broken by the blunders and disasters of this unhappy campaign? |
43590 | And what was the duty of those having forces at their command? |
43590 | And why should I hide anything? |
43590 | Are their wishes to be disregarded? |
43590 | Ask yourself this question to- night:''Will not God be angry with me if I neglect this opportunity to do them good?'' |
43590 | Can more be said for the gallantry and devotion of the soldiers, or the hold upon them of their heroic leader? |
43590 | Can you presume, sir, to be able to correct your opinions by a hasty visit to the Sound for a few days? |
43590 | Could the country expect it? |
43590 | Did I write you that his conduct on the battlefield was witnessed by the rebels with great admiration? |
43590 | Did we propose to hold a council with them, or ask them for advice? |
43590 | Do Alexander and Michelle speak in the same way? |
43590 | Do you agree to this treaty?--the treaty placing the Pend Oreilles and Koo- te- nays on this reservation? |
43590 | Do you think, because your mother was white and theirs black, that you are higher or better? |
43590 | Do you want peace or war?" |
43590 | Does Victor mean to say that he will neither let Alexander come to his place nor go to Alexander''s?" |
43590 | Does he not know that Mr. Burr and another man went to Fort Benton the other day?" |
43590 | Does he prefer the Yakima reservation to that of the Nez Perces? |
43590 | Dumb as a dog? |
43590 | Ever since I have been thinking, How will the governor speak to us? |
43590 | Foiled in their plot, why did they then so quickly agree to the treaties, which up to that time they had so bitterly spurned? |
43590 | From what you have said, I think that you intend to win our country, or how is it to be? |
43590 | Governor Stevens:"Alexander, did you agree yesterday to give up your country and join Victor?" |
43590 | Governor Stevens:"Does Victor want to treat? |
43590 | Governor Stevens:"How can Moses say I am not going to the Blackfoot country? |
43590 | Governor Stevens:"I will ask you, my children, if you fully understand all that was said yesterday? |
43590 | Have all of you talked straight? |
43590 | Have we not told your messenger yesterday that our hearts are not Cuyuse hearts? |
43590 | Have you not always done well? |
43590 | He had labored only for their good as their friend, and could they wonder that he was grieved at this state of affairs? |
43590 | How long could his scanty force of nine regiments, outflanked and overborne, have resisted the avalanche? |
43590 | I ask Alexander, are you willing to go on the same reservation with the Flatheads and Koo- te- nays? |
43590 | I ask Michelle, are you willing to go on the same reservation with the Flatheads and Pend Oreilles? |
43590 | I ask Victor if he declines to treat?" |
43590 | I ask Victor, are you willing to go on the same reservation with the Pend Oreilles and Koo- te- nays? |
43590 | I ask again, what is the interest of the Hudson Bay Company? |
43590 | I ask them, Why are you in such a hurry to have writings for your lands now? |
43590 | I ask you now, can you all agree to live on one reservation? |
43590 | I said to the Sun chief,''What is the reason you are getting into trouble? |
43590 | In the late sad, glorious fight where were you? |
43590 | Is he, as one of his people has called him, an old woman? |
43590 | Speaking Owl, a Nez Perce chief and the mouthpiece of Looking Glass, now spoke up and said,"Will you give us back our lands? |
43590 | Suppose you show me goods, shall I run up and take them? |
43590 | That not an Indian in the whole course of the war has been killed by the whites except in battle? |
43590 | The question was, What should be our route home? |
43590 | Three Feathers:"Why do n''t you get up and say you are all going with Governor Stevens? |
43590 | Was he to remain idle and let the storm come? |
43590 | Was not his life wonderfully preserved? |
43590 | What are their hearts to us? |
43590 | What do you, Victor, Alexander, and Michelle, think? |
43590 | What is it that he wants? |
43590 | What is the reason we are talking about treaties? |
43590 | What is the reason? |
43590 | What is the remedy for this state of things? |
43590 | What means of defense had the enemy at this juncture? |
43590 | What more can I do? |
43590 | What should he do? |
43590 | What was your reply? |
43590 | When Looking Glass asked you,''How long will the agent live with us?'' |
43590 | When did you kill me? |
43590 | When we were enemies I always crossed over there, and why should I not now when we are friends? |
43590 | Where are they? |
43590 | Where are they? |
43590 | Where is his heart? |
43590 | Where is the heart of Young Chief? |
43590 | Which is the one?" |
43590 | Which of these chiefs[ pointing to the Blackfeet] says we are not to go there? |
43590 | While the Nez Perces are going straight, why should they turn aside to follow others? |
43590 | Who ever finds the Highlanders behind? |
43590 | Who that knows Jackson''s career can doubt his will and power to seize the golden opportunity? |
43590 | Why are they not hanged? |
43590 | Why are those Americans alive now? |
43590 | Why ca n''t Mansfield be sent here, and both Hunter and Benham relieved? |
43590 | Why can not you manage to keep peace? |
43590 | Why did he not say to Alexander yesterday,''Come to my place''? |
43590 | Why did he promise to come here, then, to hear our talk? |
43590 | Why did you not answer and say''Come''?" |
43590 | Why did you not inform me of your presence in the Sound on your arrival at Steilacoom? |
43590 | Why did you not say,''Yes, come to my place''?" |
43590 | Why do n''t you wait until a treaty is made? |
43590 | Why do you come here and ask three chiefs to come to a council, while to the head chief and the rest you say nothing? |
43590 | Will they go to the valley with Victor, or to the mission with Alexander and Michelle? |
43590 | Will you accept my offer?" |
43590 | Would you have expected it? |
43590 | Your old men have spoken, and where is the man will turn his back on it?" |
43590 | or is not Victor a chief? |
43590 | you might have replied by asking the question,''How long have you been head chief of the Nez Perces?'' |
50247 | About how long shall we be on the journey? |
50247 | Do you think I shall be able to sit up in a day or two? |
50247 | Françaisee,''pang''--see? 50247 Got any pang, Mum?" |
50247 | How about a little bomb for him, sir? |
50247 | I wonder what devilry he''s got up his sleeve? |
50247 | Looks almost like a Blighty for me, sir, do n''t it? 50247 Oh, that''s it, is it? |
50247 | Reg''ler bloomin''pacifist, is n''t he? |
50247 | Well, I''m very much better this morning, do n''t you think? |
50247 | What base are we going to? |
50247 | When are we going? |
50247 | Where''ll you have yours, matey? |
50247 | Who goes there? |
50247 | ( Do you remember the preternaturally slow and wall- eyed salesman, with the wart, in the Salisbury shop where we bought it?) |
50247 | *****_ Next morning._ You will forgive the left- handedness of the writing, wo n''t you? |
50247 | And the spirit that dictates their little jokes, is n''t it as fine as any shown in bygone days by the aristocrats of France and England? |
50247 | And what about poor old"A"Company? |
50247 | And what does it look like when one stares out from one''s front trench? |
50247 | Another repeats it, in a regular open- air auction shout, with a grin and an interrogative"Compree?" |
50247 | Are they putting me up for sale?" |
50247 | Bit confusing, was n''t it? |
50247 | But ca n''t you imagine the excitement in the Boche line? |
50247 | But how best to do it? |
50247 | But that''s not exactly illuminating, is it? |
50247 | But we''ll manage to get a bit nearer before we leave''em, wo n''t we?" |
50247 | But what do you think of it? |
50247 | But, madam, how to do it? |
50247 | Chocolate, eh? |
50247 | Cigarettes? |
50247 | Compree? |
50247 | Did n''t yer know I was on sentry? |
50247 | Extraordinary, is n''t it? |
50247 | I did wish I knew a little more German than"Donnerwetter"and"Sprechen Sie Deutsch?" |
50247 | I hardly thought about it, but just went, and that shows there''s something shapes our ends, does n''t it? |
50247 | I wonder how you, and people generally at home, interpret that? |
50247 | I wonder if I should ever have seen it had there been no war? |
50247 | I''ve got to"jot down"this everyday trench routine for you, have n''t I? |
50247 | In Engletairy,''bread''--see? |
50247 | In which case, it seems rather waste of time writing at all, does n''t it? |
50247 | Is n''t it maddening? |
50247 | It was neat, was n''t it? |
50247 | It''s a pretty good spirit, is n''t it? |
50247 | Jolly, is n''t it? |
50247 | My Platoon wo n''t be quite the same again, will it? |
50247 | My goodness, are n''t English nursing sisters lovely? |
50247 | Odd, is n''t it? |
50247 | Pretty sloppy, was n''t he? |
50247 | Pumps? |
50247 | Queer thing, is n''t it, that just seeing these fields from the windows of a train should bring the water to one''s eyes? |
50247 | Queer was n''t it? |
50247 | Queer, is n''t it? |
50247 | Rather nice, was n''t it? |
50247 | Taffy writes a much better letter, does n''t he? |
50247 | That''s a kindly thought, is n''t it? |
50247 | That''s understood, is n''t it? |
50247 | The daily routine? |
50247 | Then why not cut a lane through the Boche wire by means of shells, just before dark, and use that to bomb from after dark? |
50247 | Then why--? |
50247 | Was n''t it extraordinary, when he had had a whole day to think about it, and must have known we should be at work there that night? |
50247 | Was n''t it queer, jawing away like that, while they were hammering the stuffing out of our line? |
50247 | What do you think the shell landing at his feet and showering mud on him extorted from weary Tommy Dodd? |
50247 | When I last wrote we had only begun to talk about the new front trench, had n''t we? |
50247 | Why, how''d our poor chaps ever be able to stand the smell of all them potted Huns, an''so close, too? |
50247 | Wotcher givin''us?" |
50247 | Wotjer playin''at? |
50247 | Would n''t you now? |
50247 | Yes, yes; we''ll soon be back again, an''then we''ll give the blighters what for, eh? |
50247 | You bong, très bong; compree? |
50247 | You get that? |
50247 | You know Taffy Morgan-- Billy-- of our Company? |
50247 | You might almost say,"But why should anybody want to hold the beastly things?" |
50247 | You remember"the Infant,"do n''t you? |
50247 | says I;"what''s this? |
4361 | Any chickens? |
4361 | Any eggs? |
4361 | Any flour or grain? |
4361 | Any guerrillas? |
4361 | Are you a member of the other House? |
4361 | Are you the Governor of a State? |
4361 | Certainly not"Have you ever had a vote of thanks by name? |
4361 | Do you think you could become so interested in my conversation as not to notice the door- keeper? |
4361 | Have you any meat? |
4361 | Is anybody in the house? |
4361 | Is it a good road, and how far? |
4361 | Is it locked up? |
4361 | Is no one about who can get in? |
4361 | Now, where is the proper place to break it? |
4361 | Well, ai n''t you on our side? |
4361 | Well,said he,"what do you want of me?" |
4361 | Well,said he,"why do n''t you go into the gallery?" |
4361 | What do you know of Uncle Billy? |
4361 | What do you live on? |
4361 | What is to be done with the freedmen? |
4361 | What is your badge? |
4361 | Why? |
4361 | 1, but are in the immediate neighborhood, on their plantations? |
4361 | A few days afterward the husband again appealed to his commanding officer( Taylor), who exclaimed:"Have n''t you got a musket? |
4361 | After shaking hands all round, the Governor said,"Coleman, what the devil is the matter here?" |
4361 | At every meal the steward would come to me, and say,"Captain Sherman, will you bring your ladies to the table?" |
4361 | But it first became necessary to settle the important question of who should succeed General McPherson? |
4361 | But what next? |
4361 | Ca n''t you defend your own family?" |
4361 | Can it be that such a resort finds root in any stratum of American opinion? |
4361 | Can we whip the South? |
4361 | Can you expedite the sending to Nashville of the recruits that are in Indiana and Ohio? |
4361 | Could not such a camp be established about Pocotaligo or Coosawhatchie? |
4361 | Could not such escaped slaves find at least a partial supply of food in the rice- fields about Savannah, and cotton plantations on the coast? |
4361 | Davis, etc.? |
4361 | General Blair simply asked,"Do you like it?" |
4361 | General Grant remarked,"What is to prevent their laying the rails again?" |
4361 | General Halleck had a map on his table, with a large pencil in his hand, and asked,"where is the rebel line?" |
4361 | Governor of a State? |
4361 | Halleck''s telegram of last night says:"Who sent Smith''s division to Nashville? |
4361 | Has any thing been heard from the troops ordered from Vicksburg? |
4361 | He asked me,"Where?" |
4361 | He dropped out of the retinue with an orderly, and after we had ridden a mile or so he overtook us, and I asked him,"What luck?" |
4361 | He inquired,"Why not both?" |
4361 | He said:"What is the use of your persevering? |
4361 | He then asked in his quizzical way,"Are you a foreign embassador?" |
4361 | He then said,"Have you any impudence?" |
4361 | He turned to me and said,"Ca n''t you take your regiment up there?" |
4361 | I answered, rather shortly,''How the devil do you know there is a masked battery? |
4361 | I answered:"How can you go to New York? |
4361 | I asked Deshler:"What does this mean? |
4361 | I had on my undress uniform indicating my rank, and inquired of the sentinel,"Is General Fremont up?" |
4361 | I said I had come to see him on business; and he added,"You do n''t suppose that he will see such as you?" |
4361 | I touched it and examined one or two of the larger pieces, and asked,"Is it gold?" |
4361 | If Hood goes to the Alabama line, will it not be impossible for him to subsist his army? |
4361 | If the rebel leaders were to arm the slaves, what would be its effect? |
4361 | If you ca n''t get over, how can the rebels get at you?'' |
4361 | In that event, would it not be possible for you to become a citizen of our State? |
4361 | Major Childs inquired,"Where is Coacoochee?" |
4361 | Major W. T. Sherman: Will you accept the chief clerkship of the War Department? |
4361 | Mason said to me,"What is that?" |
4361 | Member of Congress?" |
4361 | Mr. Lincoln, who was still standing, said,"Threatened to shoot you?" |
4361 | Of parties claiming foreign protection? |
4361 | Others say:"What are we to do? |
4361 | Pausing awhile, and watching the operations of this man roasting his corn, he said,"What are you doing?" |
4361 | Renick said,"What do you want with General Fremont?" |
4361 | Sherman said to me:"Admiral, how could you make such a remark to McClernand? |
4361 | Should we allow them to escape, etc.? |
4361 | So that among the younger officers the query was very natural,"Who the devil is Governor of California?" |
4361 | So that the only questions that remained were, would he surrender at Raleigh? |
4361 | Some say:"I have such a one sick at my house; who will wait on them when I am gone?" |
4361 | State in what manner you would rather live--whether scattered among the whites, or in colonies by yourselves? |
4361 | State what you understand by slavery, and the freedom that was to be given by the President''s proclamation? |
4361 | State what, in your opinion, is the best way to enlist colored men as soldiers? |
4361 | The Governor knocked at the door, and on inquiry from inside"Who''s there?" |
4361 | Then followed the question,"Is Fort McAllister taken?" |
4361 | This being so, how is it possible for the people still here( mostly women and children) to find any shelter? |
4361 | We then returned to Benicia, and Wool''s first question was,"What luck?" |
4361 | What can I do for you?" |
4361 | What signified the terms to them, so long as we obtained the actual surrender of people who only wanted a good opportunity to give up gracefully? |
4361 | What was to be done with the rebel armies when defeated? |
4361 | When ground is owned by parties who have gone south, and have leased the ground to parties now in the city who own the improvements on the ground? |
4361 | When houses are occupied and the owner has gone south, leaving an agent to collect rent for his benefit? |
4361 | When houses are owned by loyal citizens, but are unoccupied? |
4361 | When movable property is found in stores that are closed? |
4361 | When parties owning houses have gone south, and the tenant has given his notes for the rent in advance? |
4361 | When parties who occupy the house are creditors of the owner, who has gone south? |
4361 | When the owner has gone south, and parties here hold liens on the property and are collecting the rents to satisfy their liens? |
4361 | When the owner lives in town, and refuses to take the oath of allegiance? |
4361 | When the tenant has expended several months''rent in repairs on the house? |
4361 | Who ever supposed they would come away down here in Alabama?" |
4361 | Who have prompted him? |
4361 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
4361 | Why was this, or why was all mention of any field of duty for the head of the army left out of the army regulations? |
4361 | Wo n''t you speak your mind freely on this question of slavery, that so agitates the land? |
4361 | said Mr. Lincoln,"how are they getting along down there?" |
4361 | said a listener,"do n''t you know that old Sherman carries a duplicate tunnel along?" |
4361 | where are they to come from?" |
36720 | ''But why?'' 36720 ''Not invited? |
36720 | ''The harem? 36720 And the rest of you gentlemen sided with the North?" |
36720 | Are you a man responsible for his words? |
36720 | Are you ready to apologize to me? |
36720 | But really, how many? |
36720 | But what can one do in such a case? |
36720 | But what sense is there in men dressing in that way? 36720 But why do you ask?" |
36720 | Comfortable? |
36720 | Do they? |
36720 | Do you mean that-- seriously? |
36720 | How many Society friends have you, Miss Browneyes? |
36720 | I hear, Mr. Miller,I said,"that you are my compatriot-- that you are a Hoosier by birth, as I am-- is it true?" |
36720 | If I want to go to Indianapolis, what road do I take? |
36720 | If I want to go to Madison? |
36720 | Is it signed? |
36720 | Is n''t it? |
36720 | It''s stuff and nonsense,I interposed,"but what yarns did they tell?" |
36720 | Lies? 36720 No, did I? |
36720 | On terms? |
36720 | Quite a new attitude of mind to you, is n''t it, Doctor? 36720 Say,"he broke out, interrupting some formal question of mine,"Say, do you know anything in fact? |
36720 | Still again what harm would have been done if he had succeeded in selling the article? 36720 Suppose your book were published, how many of your Society friends could you confidently reckon upon as probable purchasers? |
36720 | The American publishers of your father''s poem,he said,"have paid him all they could afford to pay in the present state of the law, I believe?" |
36720 | Then what were you doing there? |
36720 | To what book do you refer? |
36720 | Well, what do you think? 36720 What about their literary quality?" |
36720 | What am I to do with that? |
36720 | What battery is that over there? |
36720 | What did you say to him by way of reply? |
36720 | What do you think of servants? |
36720 | What is its theme? 36720 What is the Federal work that lies in front of it?" |
36720 | What was it? |
36720 | What was your special objection to me? |
36720 | What? 36720 Whence comes the color of the rose or the violet or the dandelion? |
36720 | Whence comes the inspiration? |
36720 | Why not submit the question to Mr. Bryant himself? |
36720 | Why, Mr. Briggs,I protested,"it was only a paragraph----""What of that?" |
36720 | Why, sir, do you presume to tell me what is and what is n''t in an article that I''ve read for myself? 36720 Why, what do you call these chairs if they are not comfortable? |
36720 | Would you mind reciting to me so much of it as you''ve written? 36720 Yes,"I answered in astonishment,"but how do you happen to know anything about it?" |
36720 | Yes-- but what is it? 36720 You are thinking of''Elsie Venner''?" |
36720 | You think human liberty is involved? |
36720 | You''ve found it so since, have n''t you? |
36720 | ''With a pit- cher of but- termilk un- der her arm''--don''t it sing? |
36720 | Almost forgetting to say"good- morning,"he eagerly asked:"Are you sure of your facts in that Amour story-- can they be proved?" |
36720 | And how much of it have you written?" |
36720 | And now that I have read the reminiscences in print, why am I unable to recall the fact that I wrote them? |
36720 | Are we helplessly provincial or hopelessly snobbish? |
36720 | Are we, after all, provincial? |
36720 | Are you a rainbow chaser?" |
36720 | Are you entirely certain that the manuscript was mine?" |
36720 | Are you going to write on this affair in the Senate, or shall I take it up?" |
36720 | As the evening of the dinner day approached, I asked my host:''When shall we dress for the dinner?'' |
36720 | As they turned their backs on the humorist and moved away, the Bishop asked:"What did you say the name of that mountebank is?" |
36720 | At last the man asked in despair:"Well now, stranger, suppose I wanted to go to Hell?" |
36720 | At that point he grasped my hand warmly and said:"Tell me, how is Joe? |
36720 | Booth?" |
36720 | Bryant?" |
36720 | But as a people, have we outgrown our provincialism? |
36720 | But could he learn it within six months? |
36720 | But did you ever hear an English_ grande dame_ crush the life out of a sweet and innocent young girl by calling her''that young person''? |
36720 | But is it gain? |
36720 | But is the world richer or poorer for the change? |
36720 | But what should it be about? |
36720 | By the way, did you ever hear that I once committed arson?" |
36720 | Do n''t you see how it sort o''sings? |
36720 | Do you know Arithmetic an''Algebra an''Geometry and can you really teach me? |
36720 | Do you know that is the worst tomfoolery this idiotic world ever gave birth to? |
36720 | Harper?" |
36720 | Have we achieved our intellectual independence? |
36720 | Have we learned to value our own judgments, our own thinking, our own convictions independently of English approval or disapproval? |
36720 | Have we not yet achieved our intellectual and social independence? |
36720 | He was a genuine poet-- as who can doubt who has read him? |
36720 | His creative ability failing him, what can he do but use his critical ability in its stead? |
36720 | How are you? |
36720 | How long would a bookkeeper in a bank hold his place after making a similar blunder? |
36720 | How was that?" |
36720 | I observed the stress he laid upon the word''you''and asked:''Is n''t it time for you, also?'' |
36720 | I think Mr. Eggleston and Mr. McCabe were in active service on the Southern side during the war?" |
36720 | If Fitz Lee had been educated at Yale or Harvard, what place would he have occupied in the world? |
36720 | In its first month? |
36720 | In reply he said:"Lent him money? |
36720 | Is n''t that about the way the mysticists make up their''facts''for the misleading of half- baked brains?" |
36720 | Louis?" |
36720 | Of that book? |
36720 | Or is it that our English literary visitors make more skilful use of the press agent''s peculiar gifts? |
36720 | Or is it, perhaps, that we are more generous and hospitable than the English? |
36720 | Presently he asked:"Did n''t you command a mortar fort at Petersburg?" |
36720 | Quoth Charles:''Old Hetman, wherefore so, Since thou hast learned the art so well?''" |
36720 | Still cool, self- possessed, and sarcastic, Tilton asked:"Do I correctly understand you to mean, Dr. Fulton, that you shrink from sensationalism?" |
36720 | Suddenly he interrupted in his impetuous way, asking:"Are you the man I took on my crupper that day down there by Dranesville?" |
36720 | That''s tautological, of course, for prejudice is always ill- informed, is n''t it? |
36720 | Then a moment later he asked:"Did you ever read one of them?" |
36720 | Then adopting something of his own manner I asked:"What is it you want me to do, Charley? |
36720 | Was that a bit of theatrical"business"? |
36720 | What chance has an American novel, published at a dollar or more, in competition with English fiction even of an inferior sort published at ten cents? |
36720 | What could I do? |
36720 | What is more reasonable, then, than that he should select marketable things that other people have written and sell them? |
36720 | What should be its plot and who its personages? |
36720 | What''s in a Name? |
36720 | What''s the use of drudging when a fellow has got it in him to write poetry like that? |
36720 | What''s your guess?" |
36720 | When I scourged myself for neglecting the task, why did n''t my memory remind me that I had actually discharged the duty? |
36720 | Where should its scene be laid? |
36720 | Why bother, then, to make a journey for the settlement of a matter of business which could wait as well as not for next court day to come round? |
36720 | Why should anybody who invites us both to dinner, expect that we shall wear the same sort of clothes? |
36720 | Why should n''t we have a"Watch Night"after our own fashion? |
36720 | Why, otherwise, were the German speaking people of Pennsylvania and the mountain regions south universally known as"Pennsylvania Dutch?" |
36720 | Why, what can you mean?'' |
36720 | Will you come?" |
36720 | Would even Mr. Howells be made to feel that he was appreciated there as much as many far inferior English writers have been in New York? |
36720 | Would he have become a Virginian lawyer and perhaps a judge? |
36720 | Would n''t I, for a consideration, secure the acceptance of her novel by some reputable house? |
36720 | XVIII[ Sidenote: What''s in a Name?] |
36720 | You remember Thackeray''s Roundabout paper with that headline? |
36720 | You were a Federal officer, were you not?" |
36720 | [ Sidenote: A Challenge to the Ghosts]"Did he have the same experience the rest had had?" |
36720 | or are you just pretending, like the rest?" |
36720 | or what else? |
49444 | And is that all-- is that the head and front of your offending? |
49444 | And those are your sentiments, as therein expressed, toward our cause, Madam? |
49444 | But hold; here I am talking quite foolishly, for how do I know that either of those ladies would accept? 49444 But how old would that be?" |
49444 | But what does it mean? |
49444 | Have I the pleasure of addressing that lady now? |
49444 | I am Mrs. E. Will you come in, Sir? |
49444 | I suppose, then, the summons is imperative and I must go? |
49444 | Is Mrs. E. at home? |
49444 | May I inquire, Sir, speaking of being under orders, what your orders are? |
49444 | There is Miss Emma; how old is she? 49444 What do I think of him? |
49444 | What do you think of him, Miss Emma, and how will we be likely to fare in his charge? |
49444 | What dreadful noise is that? |
49444 | What is the matter, Lieutenant, you look so pale? |
49444 | What''s the matter? |
49444 | Why, Sir, what do you mean? |
49444 | ), is that the word for a man seeking a companion? |
49444 | And who in America have been so much favored in the past with leisure as the people of the South? |
49444 | And will this be honorable to the last? |
49444 | Approaching us at the counter, with quizzing eye, and an air of triumph, she said:"Well, Sir, how did you like the speech yesterday?" |
49444 | As near as we can calculate we had about three thinks: First, who was the Doctor? |
49444 | But dare I say it(? |
49444 | But do I love her well enough to make a wife of her? |
49444 | But is it true in my experience? |
49444 | But many are running to and fro in the earth, and knowledge is being increased; for the runners, are they not making books for the million? |
49444 | But on the question, What shall be done, what measures adopted, what course pursued, to make the most and the best out of the situation? |
49444 | But sense replied: Why where''s the harm? |
49444 | But the cause, what do you suppose it is? |
49444 | But what could the charge mean? |
49444 | But where find we in life, sensations new? |
49444 | But which one first? |
49444 | But why do we thus comment? |
49444 | But, meanwhile, what had been going on at the house of Mrs. E.? |
49444 | But, my dear lady, what are the Doctor''s grievances when compared with those of Christ and his Apostles? |
49444 | Can I not have the holy sacrament to my comfort before I die?" |
49444 | Can you be ready in that time?" |
49444 | Did you ever see the downcast look of a sheep thief? |
49444 | Do you see anything of Judge Campbell''s son here?" |
49444 | Do you see anything of old Sam Houston here?" |
49444 | Do you see anything of young Sam Houston here?" |
49444 | Endure(? |
49444 | Have you been committing some enormous crime that deserves the punishment of expatriation? |
49444 | Here handing her the letter, he inquired:"Mrs. E., do you recognize the letter as yours?" |
49444 | How dar''st thou blot The honor of my little Dot, With lies from out thy lying throat, Each lie a mountain from a mote? |
49444 | I see a new order of things here since I left; how do you like it?" |
49444 | I wonder if nature is? |
49444 | If not, why was he there at that late day? |
49444 | Is it far, Sir?" |
49444 | Now what is a man to do with an experience so in violation of the orthodox teaching and steady habits of the olden times of our ancestors? |
49444 | Or was it ominous of that fearful struggle of blood which afterward rent the country for four long years? |
49444 | Our assailant paled, and looked as if his heart were quoting the interrogatory of the ancient devils:"Hast thou come to torment me before my time?" |
49444 | Preposterous, do you say? |
49444 | Relieving the highway of its presence, and casting it into the brush by the wayside, they passed on, querrying,"What next in the line of sensation?" |
49444 | S.?" |
49444 | She looked a little pale, as if she might not have rested well the entire night, which induced him to ask:"Are you quite well this morning, Mrs. E.? |
49444 | Suppose she were but forty; how would that do? |
49444 | The Lieutenant here mischievously inquired,"Mrs. E., is it here you would like to escape from me''into the deep tangled wildwood?''" |
49444 | The argument looked plausible to the green ones, did n''t it, reader? |
49444 | The desert(?) |
49444 | The question is, why is the country so overstocked with this kind of grape? |
49444 | The writer has been asked a hundred and one times:"How did you escape the army?" |
49444 | Was it for amusement or a farcical burlesque on the governments of the Old World? |
49444 | We walked up and saluted them, saying,"How are you, gentlemen? |
49444 | Well, I think I could, or do(? |
49444 | What am I about? |
49444 | What say you, Sir, to this?" |
49444 | What shall I do? |
49444 | Woman''s a name for falsity, A dark and deep immensity Of mystery-- who can explain? |
49444 | and echo will answer, where? |
49444 | and have we been fighting each other? |
49444 | and may I know what for? |
49444 | and third, who were we? |
49444 | and yet what would you think of the idea that they carried deadly weapons to defend their characters and persons with? |
49444 | in?" |
49444 | second, who was the lady addressing us? |
9896 | And your comrade? |
9896 | But what am I to do? |
9896 | How is that? |
9896 | How much do you want? |
9896 | I dare say you would have been glad if French and English had fought side by side in this war? |
9896 | Is it a little pig? |
9896 | Is it a young pig? |
9896 | Is it sucking- pig? |
9896 | So you want me to be shot? |
9896 | Well,said the suspicious private,"have you not noticed that every time he orders us to march forward we invariably encounter the enemy?" |
9896 | What is the matter, my dearest? |
9896 | Who did it? |
9896 | Why did they do it?--was it because your men had cut the telegraph wires and destroyed some of the permanent way? |
9896 | You know me, then? |
9896 | You know the Lei- ces- terre Square? 9896 Are n''t you going to leave with the others? |
9896 | Come, what is it, tell me?" |
9896 | Could Trochu''s plan and Bazaine''s plan be synonymous, then? |
9896 | Did the Empress at that moment wonder when, where, and how she would next see them again? |
9896 | Do you know London? |
9896 | Do you know Regent Street? |
9896 | Do you know the Soho?" |
9896 | Had we not bought at least a dozen newspapers? |
9896 | How would they dress, even supposing that they should contrive to dress at all? |
9896 | How''s that?" |
9896 | It is young Vizetelly, a friend of my son''s,"adding,"Did you wish to speak to me?" |
9896 | Many a time in the course of the next few years did I hear foreigners inquire:"What do the London papers say?" |
9896 | So saying, the officer produced the small bottle which had been taken from the unfortunate traveller, and added:"You see this? |
9896 | The question which immediately arose was-- could we catch it? |
9896 | To what despair would not millions of women be reduced? |
9896 | We occasionally procured English ale from him, and one day, late in October, when I was passing his establishment, he said to me:"How is your father? |
9896 | What name is the music- hall there?" |
9896 | Why a dozen, when sensible people would have been satisfied with one? |
9896 | Why had Chanzy brought his army there? |
9896 | You are the young English correspondent who was allowed to make some sketches at Yvré- l''Evêque, are you not?" |
12302 | A person or a type? |
12302 | About what, sirr? |
12302 | All that''s left of your platoon? |
12302 | And what do you suggest doing to this Piccadilly Tube of theirs? |
12302 | And what then, sirr? |
12302 | And what was it,inquired Private Cosh with heat,"that happened last week?" |
12302 | Any news of your patrol? |
12302 | Are the Battalion in the trenches at present, sir? |
12302 | Are there any other troops in the area, sir? |
12302 | Are we going to touch off all this stuff now, and clear out, or are we going to wait and see? |
12302 | Are you doing anything on the nineteenth? |
12302 | Are you sure it is n''t a trap? |
12302 | As how? |
12302 | Bogle, what are you doing here? |
12302 | Bully? 12302 But tell me, why have you repaired the Boche wire instead of your own?" |
12302 | But what about Arthur Roberts? |
12302 | But wo n''t the Boche try to prevent you? |
12302 | Can you see? |
12302 | Can you, Corporal M''Snape? |
12302 | Did any one write to you about it? |
12302 | Did he tell you anything, Wagstaffe? |
12302 | Did the Fritzes run? 12302 Did you wish the hale wood tae be shelled?" |
12302 | Do we look like stragglers? |
12302 | Do you remember those first trenches of ours at Festubert? 12302 Do you see it, sirr?" |
12302 | Hallo, what''s that hanging up, I wonder? |
12302 | Has it ever occurred to you, my mannie, what would happen tae the English-- if Scotland was tae make a separate peace? |
12302 | Has your officer returned yet? |
12302 | Has your patrol come in? |
12302 | How do you know? |
12302 | How many men are deficient of an emergency ration? 12302 How many men are serving that gun?" |
12302 | How much have you got? |
12302 | How near? |
12302 | How? 12302 How?" |
12302 | How? |
12302 | How? |
12302 | How_ does_ one choke off a tripe- merchant of this type? |
12302 | Is that Captain Little? |
12302 | Is that a fact? |
12302 | Is that all? |
12302 | Is the battery there? |
12302 | Is there no way of knocking them out? |
12302 | Is this a catch of some kind? |
12302 | Knocking off? |
12302 | Like Second Lieutenants-- eh? |
12302 | M''Gurk, do_ you_ understand? |
12302 | Man,exclaimed Cosh, shedding some of his philosophic calm,"can ye no unnerstand that what I telled ye was jist a mainner of speakin''? |
12302 | Many-- casualties? |
12302 | Mucklewame? 12302 Near?" |
12302 | No? 12302 Now, Howie,"said Bertie the Badger, fingering the fuse,"what about it?" |
12302 | Rations? 12302 See it? |
12302 | Sergeant M''Nab, what is the strength of''C''Company? |
12302 | Some one in the regiment? |
12302 | Stragglers? |
12302 | Such as? |
12302 | That all? 12302 That crowd? |
12302 | That is Bernafay Wood on our right, I suppose? |
12302 | That you? 12302 The regiment?" |
12302 | The waggon? 12302 Then what the hell_ did_ ye mean?" |
12302 | Then you think the Boches are going to make a push of their own? |
12302 | We shall want a good many guns, though, sha n''t we? |
12302 | Well, Angus, how goes it? |
12302 | Well--Wagstaffe looked intensely mysterious--"of course one never knows, but-- have you heard any rumours on the subject?" |
12302 | What about rations? |
12302 | What about''B''Company? |
12302 | What are they going to do with you? |
12302 | What do you propose to do? |
12302 | What do you think? |
12302 | What does she say? |
12302 | What does that mean? |
12302 | What for would he pit his name on it, Wully? |
12302 | What for, ole son? |
12302 | What for? |
12302 | What is your name? |
12302 | What kind o''a battle will it be this time, sirr? |
12302 | What sort of place is this new palace we are going to doss in? |
12302 | What the''ell_ for_? |
12302 | What then? 12302 What troops are those, please?" |
12302 | What was his Christian name, do you know? |
12302 | What way could a Gairman pit my name on a bullet? |
12302 | What way, sir, will a body get his dinner, if we are to be fighting for twa- three days on end? |
12302 | What were your prisoners like? |
12302 | What yarn was that? |
12302 | What''s the matter, sirr? |
12302 | When do you think they''ll attack? |
12302 | Where are you bound for? |
12302 | Where are your puttees? |
12302 | Where have you been all day, Bobby? |
12302 | Where have you come from? |
12302 | Where is young Sandeman? |
12302 | Where is your head? |
12302 | Where is your iron ration? |
12302 | Where will us wear it? |
12302 | Who is Edgar? |
12302 | Who? 12302 Why did you leave the telephone just now?" |
12302 | Why, my youthful Mormon? |
12302 | Will each officer present,he said,"kindly name his pet aversion among his fellow- creatures?" |
12302 | Will the bridesmaids be pretty? |
12302 | Will they attack? |
12302 | Wull you try another cup o''tea, Major? |
12302 | Ye mind what the Captain said aboot smoke? |
12302 | Yes? |
12302 | You do n''t think, sir, that we shall make another Push? |
12302 | You in charge of this draft? |
12302 | You mean hospital work, and so on? |
12302 | You remember his remark to me, that we only had the bye to play now? 12302 You say you can hear the enemy working?" |
12302 | You understand English, Fritz? |
12302 | You will excuse my raising the point, I know, but can the apartment now be regarded as shell- proof? |
12302 | Your contribution, M''Lachlan? |
12302 | ''Are you all right, Bill?'' |
12302 | ''Are you_ still_ all right, Bill?'' |
12302 | ''Are you_ sure_ you''re all right, Bill?'' |
12302 | *****"How strong are you?" |
12302 | Again, five minutes later:--"Is that''A''Company?" |
12302 | And Bobby? |
12302 | And the next article? |
12302 | Are we for off again, sirr?" |
12302 | Are you of age, my lad? |
12302 | Are your fellows all ready, Bobby?" |
12302 | Are''A''Company capable of handling the situation at present?" |
12302 | At last Bill, getting fed up with this unusual solicitude, yelled back:''What''s all the anxiety abaht, eh?'' |
12302 | Avez- vous un feu_--er--_inflammé pour moi dans la chambre_?" |
12302 | Been doing some job of work, have n''t you?" |
12302 | Been to the War Office?" |
12302 | Beer?" |
12302 | Before your time, I fancy, Bobby?" |
12302 | Brigade?" |
12302 | But how could any troops get through thirty feet of uncut wire, enfiladed by machine- guns? |
12302 | By the way, take care of Edgar, wo n''t you? |
12302 | Can they hold on, or can they not? |
12302 | Can you see any bayonets twinkling in the Boche trenches?" |
12302 | Cockerell explained When he had finished, he added wistfully--"I suppose you have not got an odd tin or two of bully to give away, sir? |
12302 | Cosh and Tosh snorted disdainfully, and Private Nigg, who was present with his friend Buncle, inquired--"What way was they disguised?" |
12302 | Country has thrown oot flank guns''?" |
12302 | D''ye ken what happened tae me? |
12302 | D''yer''ear that, Fritz?" |
12302 | Dae ye unnerstand me the noo?" |
12302 | Did we stick to Longueval all right? |
12302 | Did ye hear that, Jimmy? |
12302 | Did you not hear me say that no one but Corporal M''Snape was to come?" |
12302 | Do you remember a pair of fat fellows in their leading platoon? |
12302 | Do you understand?" |
12302 | Does anybody happen to know where this train is going to?" |
12302 | Does he begin by striking an attitude and hurling defiance at the foe? |
12302 | Does he fill sandbags, or pump, of his own volition? |
12302 | Eh, boy?" |
12302 | Ever and anon he would stoop down at the entrance of some deep dug- out, and bawl--"Ony mair doon there? |
12302 | Fairly newly married, I fancy?" |
12302 | Haf you whiskey? |
12302 | Hallo, what''s that?" |
12302 | Have you a bomb about you?" |
12302 | Have you been round the advanced positions?" |
12302 | Haw, Jock, was ye hearin''aboot Andra? |
12302 | He lined up his disreputable paladins in the darkness, and spoke--"Sergeant M''Nab, how many men are present?" |
12302 | How does he treat this bulwark? |
12302 | How old are you?" |
12302 | How would a Maconochie apiece suit your boys?" |
12302 | How''s a''wi''you? |
12302 | How''s that for a Christmas pantomime?" |
12302 | I say?" |
12302 | Is n''t that worth a war? |
12302 | Is that B Company, curse you? |
12302 | Is that B Company? |
12302 | Is that B Company? |
12302 | Is that C Battery? |
12302 | Is that C Battery? |

12302 | Is that C Battery? |
12302 | Is that C Battery? |
12302 | Is that C Battery? |
12302 | Is that the Adjutant? |
12302 | Is that you, Chumps? |
12302 | Is that yoursel'', Jock? |
12302 | Is the Adjutant there? |
12302 | Labour and Capital, and so on?" |
12302 | Last night a plaintive voice cried out--"Are you dere, Jock? |
12302 | Longueval? |
12302 | No, he begins by inquiring, in no uncertain voice, where his---- dinner is? |
12302 | Or-- in the same spirit--"Wull I luft the soup now, sir?" |
12302 | Pretty artistic-- what?" |
12302 | Pretty decent of him, was n''t it? |
12302 | Private Buncle, refusing to be appeased, replied sarcastically--"Aye, is it? |
12302 | Put the average Tommy into a trench under fire how does he comport himself? |
12302 | Shall I advance or retire where I am? |
12302 | Sleeping here?" |
12302 | Somme Battle-- what? |
12302 | Tell me, what is your strength, here and now?" |
12302 | That''s the sort of--""What is her name?" |
12302 | The fellow--""But you have not seen many Boche planes lately?" |
12302 | Then a round and ruddy face rose like a harvest moon above the tailboard, and a stertorous voice replied respectfully--"Sir?" |
12302 | Then he added, thoughtfully, referring apparently to the star performer:--"We_ have_ been and spoiled his entrance for him, have n''t we?" |
12302 | Then--"I suppose,"he said almost timidly,"that those were members of a_ Reserve_ Regiment of the Guards?" |
12302 | There was a dead Frenchman buried in the parapet-- you know how they used to bury people in those days?" |
12302 | There''s just time tae cook it--""What kin''o''a fire is this?" |
12302 | They have confirmed you in your rank as Captain, I suppose?" |
12302 | Was they, Jimmie?" |
12302 | Weel, Jock, did ye get a quiet nicht? |
12302 | Well, get your bunch on to the road, and-- Hallo, what''s the matter? |
12302 | Well, my lad, what abaht it? |
12302 | What can I do for you this morning? |
12302 | What did fate hold in store for him to- morrow? |
12302 | What for? |
12302 | What luck, old son? |
12302 | What other alternatives are open to you?" |
12302 | What sort of a job is that likely to be?" |
12302 | What time did you leave the Base?" |
12302 | What time would that be-- sir?" |
12302 | What was going to happen this time? |
12302 | What''s that you''re sayin''? |
12302 | What''s the map reference? |
12302 | What''s your view of the situation at home, Wagstaffe? |
12302 | What? |
12302 | Where did we go in? |
12302 | Where is that little girl now, we wonder; and has she got another frock? |
12302 | Where is your old one?" |
12302 | Where''s your fuse?" |
12302 | Whit was that? |
12302 | Who do you think?" |
12302 | Who was it?" |
12302 | Why the blazes have n''t you answered me sooner? |
12302 | Why?" |
12302 | Will they attack, or will they not?" |
12302 | Working- party? |
12302 | Working- party? |
12302 | Would it no''be better to get it repeatit? |
12302 | Would some one have a look, and tell me if we have got Longueval all right? |
12302 | Wull we pit oors on?" |
12302 | X Brigade complied, and having been furnished with refreshment, led off with the inevitable question--"Does one-- er-- get shelled much here?" |
12302 | You mean to say the Boche has n''t got_ him_ yet? |
12302 | You remember how the two ridges used to look down into our lines at Wipers and Plugstreet? |
12302 | You were pulled out from there, were n''t you? |
12302 | You''re makin''a''orrible mess of this message, ai n''t you? |
12302 | or"Compree?" |
12302 | told them so? |
8423 | And did you shoot some Nips, Grand Dad? 8423 Had you a. brave co- pilot, too?" |
8423 | What were the Japs up to now? |
8423 | Would this be the explosion that would blot out our existence? |
8423 | A pilot bold was I, my lad,"The old man hung his head, A pilot for a plane, my lad,"( The old P. W. lied)"Was yours a P- thirty- eight, Granddad?" |
8423 | And chase them from the air?" |
8423 | As a soldier broke down a boarded- up window in the stone wall near where Ted Winship was busy quanning( cooking), Ted asked,"Who are you?" |
8423 | But with what? |
8423 | Dec. 15, 1944: The bright sunrise rekindled our apprehensions-"Are we being left on board the ship to be bombed out of our miseries?" |
8423 | General Leslie Groves, the"Father of the Atomic Bomb,"asked me,"What did you think of the, Atomic bombs we dropped on Japan?" |
8423 | I asked Major Nakar:"How come this barrio seems to be named,''Jones,''after an American? |
8423 | I asked the teniente,"What is so funny?" |
8423 | I inquired,"Do you know that we are at war with Japan?" |
8423 | Many important persons came to look me over and ask,"Are you having any difficulty adjusting?" |
8423 | My answer was always the same,"If somebody gave you a Lincoln car, would you have trouble adjusting?" |
8423 | Or did they outsmart me and get back to the States to sit out the war? |
8423 | THE PILOT* by Gen. William Brougher in the Long Dark Road"What did you do in the war, Grand Dad?" |
8423 | Ted countered with:"Where the hell have you been for three years?" |

8423 | They entered houses along the road and slapped the Filipinos, demanding,"Where are the Americans?" |
8423 | Toward evening, Mr. Wata, the Jap interpreter, entered the theater and inquired,"Who is too sick or too disabled to continue journey to Japan?" |
8423 | Was the Rainbow war plan not working? |
8423 | What greater satisfaction is there for grandparents than to see their children and grandchildren turning out right? |
8423 | When I inquired as to the direction to Buen- venida, the Spanish owner asked me:"Did you come to surrender?" |
8423 | Where were our American planes? |
8423 | Who could have ever dreamed that World War II in the Philippines would both begin and end at Camp John Hay, a Rest and Recreation Center? |
8423 | Will it ever stop?" |
31124 | Are the buses running? |
31124 | But do n''t you ever look out of the window? |
31124 | But every mate''s called''Bill,''ai n''t''e, Bill?) |
31124 | But has he any symptoms? |
31124 | But if he is willing to risk his life to save his brain, can they still refuse? |
31124 | But what shall you do, Scutts? 31124 But what will happen to him?" |
31124 | But why do you want to stop them? 31124 Can you get me a book, nurse?" |
31124 | Can you move it? 31124 Could n''t I lie on my side?" |
31124 | Did you crawl back or walk? |
31124 | Do n''t you ever read? |
31124 | Do you ever go to theatres? 31124 Do you see anything in that? |
31124 | Evan? |
31124 | Got my eye yet? |
31124 | Have they many beds? |
31124 | He''s come to talk to you about it? |
31124 | How can you possibly have found out? |
31124 | How do you know he means that? |
31124 | How shall we get home...? |
31124 | I do...."Are you? |
31124 | I know, I know....Do I know? |
31124 | Ironing? |
31124 | Is anything wrong? 31124 Is he a professional?" |
31124 | Is no one going to reassure Gayner? |
31124 | Is that her? |
31124 | Is your cup empty? |
31124 | Is your leg hurting you a lot? |
31124 | Lil bird, am I? |
31124 | May I ask at what price? |
31124 | Oh, Sister, why not...? |
31124 | Oh, is that so? |
31124 | Oh-- and nurse...? |
31124 | Parcel come for me, Sister? 31124 Shall I call your Sister?" |
31124 | Shall I get you some water? |
31124 | Shall you be awake, Waker? |
31124 | Sister, what will they do with Palmer? |
31124 | Sister,he said again,"do you think I can have a word with you?" |
31124 | Six, was n''t it? |
31124 | So she wo n''t wait for you when you are late? |
31124 | Then there is nothing you condemn? |
31124 | Was it in me lung? |
31124 | Well, how about Wednesday, then? |
31124 | Were you? 31124 What can I do for you?" |
31124 | What do you mean? 31124 What good does it do them?" |
31124 | What is really the matter with him, Sister? |
31124 | What will it be like, Scutts? |
31124 | Where''s the one? |
31124 | Why should one make a fuss and another say nothing? |
31124 | Why should you fight because another man tells you to? |
31124 | Why should you think that? |
31124 | Will they give me something to make me sleep to- night? |
31124 | Will you brush my hair? |
31124 | Would it? |
31124 | Yes? |
31124 | You do like it, nurse? |
31124 | You''re willing to risk it? |
31124 | ''Can you move that vase of flowers?'' |
31124 | ''When you come up next time could you bring me an envelope?'' |
31124 | ''s have to go to the funerals?" |
31124 | ( He pronounces the"g"--a Lancashire boy....)"The shrapnel?" |
31124 | ( I, the least of mortals, had made a promise belonging only to the gods....)"Oh, Sister, why not?" |
31124 | ( Who are they all... these men with their differing tastes?) |
31124 | ("Whatever is that?" |
31124 | ... ever since Mons, these ulcers, on and off?" |
31124 | 11 and I? |
31124 | 24 really ill?" |
31124 | A citizen... a baker or a brewer, tinker, tailor, or candlestick- maker...? |
31124 | Afterwards in the dining- room during Mess he will ask politely:"What did you think of the concert, Sister? |
31124 | An inspecting general, pausing at his bed this morning, said:"A dairyman, are you? |
31124 | And then( horror):"Do n''t you think nurse puts her cap on well?" |
31124 | And then:"Is not one man alone sufficient matter on which to reflect?" |
31124 | And would you mind sewing this button on my glove?" |
31124 | And, most disturbing question of all, is to be"liked"the final standard? |
31124 | Another voice:"Nurse, is there any modern French poetry in that bookcase?" |
31124 | Are n''t we leading magic days? |
31124 | At last a noise in the corridor, a tramp on the stairs.... Only walkers? |
31124 | But in a few days he will think,"I am alive, but I might be better..."; and in a few weeks,"Is this, after all, happiness?" |
31124 | But there was this question of her authority.... How was she to live among her fellows? |
31124 | But when the specialist is afraid, what can ignorance say...? |
31124 | But who knows what compliance the years will bring? |
31124 | But whom need one trust? |
31124 | Can one afford to disdain them? |
31124 | Can one grow used to death? |
31124 | Can one steer happily with indifference? |
31124 | Can you sleep in it? |
31124 | Could one guess what he is? |
31124 | Did he match your other carefully?" |
31124 | Did you run across my young cousin, a lieutenant in the...? |
31124 | Do n''t they admit that? |
31124 | Do n''t you like revues?" |
31124 | Do they feel it and dislike it? |
31124 | Do you like them?" |
31124 | Does one go into a ward primarily to help the patients or to help the Sister? |
31124 | Does the wind from outside hurt?" |
31124 | February... can it be yet? |
31124 | Frightened of horses, are you? |
31124 | From two places away I heard her voice piping up:"Nurse, excuse my asking, but is your cap a regulation one, like all the others?" |
31124 | Go to London?" |
31124 | Had I been"nice"? |
31124 | He has a way of saying,"Now, my men, who is going to volunteer to fetch the dinners?" |
31124 | He never says"What?" |
31124 | How far are you a dictator? |
31124 | How many years have you walked in fear of this? |
31124 | How will he celebrate it? |
31124 | I once met him...."Or:"You''ve been in Gallipoli? |
31124 | I sat and thought:"Is it that she has her life settled, quietly continuous, and one breaks in...? |
31124 | I think from time to time,"Is he alive?" |
31124 | I thought:"I am not afraid.... Is it because I am more educated, or have less imagination?" |
31124 | In hospital since Mons...."I wonder how many men he has seen die of tetanus?" |
31124 | In what manner does his dream run? |
31124 | Is it no better?" |
31124 | Is n''t it curious to wish so passionately for the day which may place them near to death again? |
31124 | Is n''t the fear of pain next brother to pain itself? |
31124 | Is n''t there a charm hanging about us? |
31124 | Is the lull when_ they_ go over the top? |
31124 | It is n''t so simple as that, is it, dairyman? |
31124 | Many times a day she hears the words,"Sister, you''re hurtin''me.... Could n''t you shift my heel? |
31124 | Must one, to be"liked,"bend one''s spirit to theirs? |
31124 | Part of the cargo of a ship... one day..."a nigger for Central Africa....""Where''s his unit?" |
31124 | Perhaps the angels feel like this as they trail about in heaven with their wings flapping on their thin white legs...."Who were you, angel?" |
31124 | Perhaps there is nothing better than the ecstasy and unappeasement of life? |
31124 | Seen my X- ray picture?" |
31124 | Shall I ever grow out of that excitement over the first bit of snow...? |
31124 | She looked at me uncertainly:"Are n''t you coming?" |
31124 | She said,"Why?" |
31124 | Since I am under her authority and agree to it, why dare she not use it? |
31124 | Small parcel?" |
31124 | Soldiers...?" |
31124 | Sometimes I think,"Will there never be another convoy?" |
31124 | Summer.... Can it be summer through whose hot air the guns shake and tremble? |
31124 | Surely it must be haunted? |
31124 | The only thing that cheered Rees up as he was wheeled away was the voice of Pinker crying,"Jer want white flowers on yer coffin? |
31124 | The ranklings, the heart- burnings, the gross injustices.... Who is to make the only poultice? |
31124 | The things that one asks from one''s bed are so small:''Can you get me a book?'' |
31124 | Then what do you do about the cows?" |
31124 | Then, slowly:"How... permanently am I in disgrace?" |
31124 | There is the lady who comes in and asks the table at large:"I wonder if any one knows General Biggens? |
31124 | They look at each other as weak human beings look, and:"We might try...?" |
31124 | They were whispering:"Do you?" |
31124 | To what a lost enchantment am I recalled by the sight of a branch across the moon? |
31124 | Touching the arm of a man, I asked him the all- important question:"Are the buses running?" |
31124 | Were n''t he, Bill?" |
31124 | Were we late? |
31124 | What about one''s habits of life...? |
31124 | What does he want me to respond? |
31124 | What is there so rapturous about the moon? |
31124 | What kind do you like?" |
31124 | What strange machinery is there for getting him back? |
31124 | What were they doing there? |
31124 | What, then, does this particular minute bring him? |
31124 | When I say to- morrow,"How is the boy?" |
31124 | When Monk was working at a woollen belt Pinker said:"Workin''that for yer girl?... |
31124 | When they come back, when the postwar days set in, will they keep that vision, letting it play on life... or must it fade? |
31124 | When they come in wounded or sick they say at once,"What shows are on?" |
31124 | Whenever we come near him he lifts his eyes and asks,"What are you going to do now?" |
31124 | Where are the dead? |
31124 | Where is he going? |
31124 | Where is my trouble and my longing, and the other troubles, and the happiness in other summers? |
31124 | Where is the frost, the snow?... |
31124 | Where? |
31124 | Whether to wear, or not to wear, a mask towards one''s world? |
31124 | Who am I that I can step in from outside to criticize? |
31124 | Who goes there?" |
31124 | Who is to paint the very septic throat of Mr. Mullins, Army Service Corps? |
31124 | Who knows what he might say to the eldest Sister? |
31124 | Who would have brought it here?" |
31124 | Why should they be bothered?" |
31124 | Why the look of strain in the eyes of the man in the next bed who could see behind the screens? |
31124 | Why the screens? |
31124 | Why wish to trust all the world?... |
31124 | Why? |
31124 | Why? |
31124 | Yes... but where else...? |
31124 | You do like it?" |
31124 | You don''know what a girl is, do yer, Monk?" |
31124 | You got a girl, Monk?" |
31124 | _ I apologize to those whom I may hurt.__ Can I soothe them by pleading that one may only write what is true for oneself?__ E. |
31124 | of whom they continually ask,"What''s say, nurse?" |
31124 | should the Sister be off for a half- day? |
31124 | that?" |
31124 | to cry,"Who wants you to?" |
31124 | ward, I think:"It almost comes to this: one must spit blood or fight....""Why do n''t you refuse?" |
31124 | what will they say? |
14457 | ''Berlue,''he said,"is-- what do you Americans say-- dotty? |
14457 | And how far from that are the German trenches? |
14457 | And these German newspapers, are they neutral? |
14457 | And when the young ladies went out, were they watching the bombs burst? |
14457 | And when there is an attack the attacking side must go through the water? |
14457 | And you have not slept? |
14457 | Are there no nurses at all along the British front? |
14457 | Are you a good climber? |
14457 | Are you the Duchess of Sutherland? |
14457 | But I thought you lived in the administration building? |
14457 | But as a necessity of war? |
14457 | But how do they know when an ammunition train is coming? |
14457 | But if the townspeople fired on the Germans? |
14457 | But there is still need? |
14457 | But what are you doing here? |
14457 | But what do you do? |
14457 | But why did you not tell us? |
14457 | By the victims themselves? |
14457 | Can I get to Ypres? |
14457 | Can you lend us a car? |
14457 | Did you accomplish much to- day? |
14457 | Do you mean that when you go out on scouting expeditions you can communicate with the station here? |
14457 | Do you mean to say that you sleep here? |
14457 | Do you think La Panne will be bombarded? |
14457 | Do you want the Q.M.N.G.? |
14457 | Do you want to know the bravest man in all the world? |
14457 | Have many of them been ill? |
14457 | Have you a camera with you? |
14457 | Have you seen any of the English hospitals on the Continent? |
14457 | Have you seen the Queen? |
14457 | How about seeing the Indians? |
14457 | How deep is the water? |
14457 | How does America feel as to the result of this war? |
14457 | How goes it? |
14457 | How is America affected by the war? |
14457 | How many French have you in the United States? |
14457 | How much farther? |
14457 | How near are we to the trenches? |
14457 | I have seen a number, Your Majesty,"Do they seem well supplied? |
14457 | I mean, of course, from this boat? |
14457 | I? 14457 In the event of the German Army''s retiring from Belgium, do you believe, as many do, that there will be more destruction of cities? |
14457 | In the trenches also? |
14457 | Is madame a good walker? |
14457 | Is there anything further Your Majesty can suggest? |
14457 | Is there no petrol to be had? |
14457 | Is this the town? |
14457 | It''s quite a party, is n''t it? |
14457 | Now, Mrs. Rinehart,she said, straightening,"just why are you going?" |
14457 | Oh, do n''t they? |
14457 | Perhaps,said Makand Singh,"you will have coffee?" |
14457 | Shopping, for what? |
14457 | That is true, of course; but what can we do? 14457 The German position is better, is n''t it?" |
14457 | The Germans can see us plainly, ca n''t they? |
14457 | The best we can do seems so little to what the men are doing, does n''t it? |
14457 | Then you do not believe that they will make a further advance toward Paris? |
14457 | There was no justification, then, for the violation of Belgian neutrality? |
14457 | They were verified? |
14457 | They would confiscate it? |
14457 | To the first line? |
14457 | To the vaults? |
14457 | Towed? |
14457 | Trenches? 14457 We are more modest than the Germans, then?" |
14457 | Were you not frightened the night you were in the Belgian trenches? |
14457 | What about a torpedo? |
14457 | What about the official German order for a campaign of''frightfulness''in Belgium? |
14457 | What are six or seven miles to the German Army? 14457 What can we do?" |
14457 | What do you think of the blockade, General Foch? |
14457 | What does a periscope look like? |
14457 | What is its effect? 14457 What is possible to know of the general condition of affairs in that part of Belgium occupied by the Germans?" |
14457 | What is the percentage of German population? |
14457 | What is your impression of the French and Belgian hospitals? |
14457 | What sort of an errand? |
14457 | What the devil is that to you? |
14457 | What were you told to do? |
14457 | What will happen if it freezes over? |
14457 | What will you do if you see a submarine?'' 14457 When did you get in from the trenches?" |
14457 | Where did you come from? |
14457 | Where do they go at such times? |
14457 | Where do you want to go? |
14457 | Where do you wish to go? |
14457 | Where is the gold? |
14457 | Where shall I go? |
14457 | Where? |
14457 | Why not? |
14457 | Will that land be as fertile as before? |
14457 | Will you see our museum? |
14457 | Will you tell me just what you do? |
14457 | Would you like to see the trenches? |
14457 | You are a cavalry regiment? |
14457 | You came just now in a large car? |
14457 | You do n''t mind, do you? |
14457 | You do not know that in America? |
14457 | You have known very little? |
14457 | You have not gone to mass, Mademoiselle? |
14457 | You intend to stay here for some time? |
14457 | You mean that they have been in a dangerous place? |
14457 | You wished to see the gold? 14457 ***** Do you recall the school map on which the state of Texas was always pink and Rhode Island green? 14457 A general brutalising? 14457 Again, what is he to do? 14457 All these wrecks of boys and men, where are they to go? 14457 And Canada a region without colour, and therefore without existence? 14457 And may I come to the fire? |
14457 | And over there, beyond the line of poplar trees, what? |
14457 | And then they went on-- to what? |
14457 | And what next? |
14457 | And yet who knows? |
14457 | Are there any blows left to rain on Belgium? |
14457 | Are they Belgians and French, driven by the ruin of everything they possess to selling out to the enemy? |
14457 | Are they still there? |
14457 | Battle- scarred France, where liberty has fought so hard for life-- what was France doing? |
14457 | Brussels, for instance?" |
14457 | But is it petty to labour and love? |
14457 | But what else did we know of France and its part in the war? |
14457 | But what of that large percentage who will never be whole again? |
14457 | But what of the Bavarian- born Queen of the Belgians? |
14457 | But what was really happening beyond the barriers that guarded the front so jealously? |
14457 | But what will happen now? |
14457 | But your press endeavours to be neutral, does it not?" |
14457 | But-- exactly what can I do for you?" |
14457 | Did the German officers sit about that pine table and throw a nut to summon an orderly? |
14457 | Did the Germans find and silence that concealed battery of seventy- five- millimetre guns under its imitation hedge? |
14457 | Did the"rabbit trap"do its work? |
14457 | Do figures mean anything to us any more? |
14457 | Do they ever glance at the moving cord of the war map on the wall? |
14457 | Even if she had the mines, where would she get men to labour in them, or trains to transport the coal? |
14457 | Had its last occupant died and the mattress been burned? |
14457 | Have you been in the other part of Belgium?" |
14457 | Have you got any of them? |
14457 | Have you seen the flooded district?" |
14457 | Have you seen the government report?" |
14457 | Having done its part, was it holding an honorary position in the great line- up? |
14457 | How can America know what to believe?" |
14457 | How can we play? |
14457 | How can we think of anything else? |
14457 | How did the men live under these new and strange conditions? |
14457 | How many grown- ups can think of it with dry eyes? |
14457 | How many of the boys I watched playing prisoners''base round their guns in the intervals of firing are there to- day? |
14457 | How many of the officers who shrugged their shoulders when I spoke of danger have gone down to death? |
14457 | How many of them are left to- day? |
14457 | How many remain of that little company of soldiers who gave three cheers for me because I was the only woman they had seen for months? |
14457 | How was it possible to manipulate a large field gun, with a target moving at a varying height, and at a speed velocity of, say, sixty miles an hour? |
14457 | How would you like that?" |
14457 | I always thought it was Flemish for"May I come in?" |
14457 | If even wells contain dead bodies, how about the open water- courses? |
14457 | If there was a God, why should my husband be killed? |
14457 | Is he by any chance a relative?" |
14457 | Is it any wonder that two- thirds of Belgium''s Army is gone? |
14457 | Is it influencing public opinion?" |
14457 | Is n''t it just splendidly boyish? |
14457 | Is that tea? |
14457 | Is the duty of the nation greater than the duty of the home? |
14457 | Is the nation greater than the individual? |
14457 | Is the whole greater than the sum of its parts? |
14457 | Is this war to them only a matter of a courtyard or a windmill? |
14457 | It was Chesterfield, was n''t it, who spoke of_"Suaviter in modo, fortiter in re"?_ That is General Huguet. |
14457 | Madame did not suspect?" |
14457 | Men without a country, where were they to go when the hospital ship had finished with them? |
14457 | Now they contained torn and stained uniforms, weapons, knapsacks, Does it matter how many wards there were, or how many surgeons? |
14457 | Of mud and the upheaval of quiet lives? |
14457 | Only for a time, I think, for was it not there that the Germans broke through? |
14457 | Or about the soldiers who have been caught in the barbed wire with which these inland lakes are filled? |
14457 | Or about the wounded who fall helpless into the flood? |
14457 | Or cold and insufficient food? |
14457 | Or fear? |
14457 | Or hope? |
14457 | Or scraping acquaintance with the only woman he had seen in months? |
14457 | Or the wind? |
14457 | Over beyond the field and that narrow line of trees, what has happened? |
14457 | Seven miles behind the line?" |
14457 | Since my return, almost the only question I have been asked about France is:"Is Paris greatly changed?" |
14457 | The baby at La Panne-- why should it go through life on stumps instead of legs? |
14457 | The boyish officer-- why should he have died? |
14457 | The loss of much that is fine? |
14457 | The result of the raid? |
14457 | The smiling officer, so debonair, so proud of his hidden battery, where is he? |
14457 | The tiny bridge, has it run red this last week? |
14457 | The watchman in the tree, what did he see, that terrible day when the Germans got across the canal and charged over the flat lands? |
14457 | Theatrical? |
14457 | To inoculate an army means much money, and where is the Belgian Government to get it? |
14457 | Was he merely curious? |
14457 | Was it a fragment or an army, an entity or a memory? |
14457 | Was it resting on its laurels? |
14457 | What Queen Elisabeth of Belgium says, she believes; and who should know better? |
14457 | What are the people to do? |
14457 | What are they to do? |
14457 | What brings you both so far from your thriving and prosperous little community?" |
14457 | What business had he to look away from the sea? |
14457 | What did she think of it all? |
14457 | What did they think? |
14457 | What do you see?" |
14457 | What does America generally know of France, outside of Paris? |
14457 | What does it all mean to them? |
14457 | What does she hope for and pray for-- this Queen without a country? |
14457 | What had become of the heroic Belgian Army? |
14457 | What happened in the little village of D----? |
14457 | What happened to the little"sick and sorry"house during those fearful days? |
14457 | What has become of them? |
14457 | What has happened on that road, guarded by buried quick- firers, that stretched to the German trenches beyond the poplar trees? |
14457 | What if it is to be of years? |
14457 | What if the town was being shelled and the Germans were only six hundred feet away? |
14457 | What is a little time more or less, now? |
14457 | What is one death to men who have seen so many? |
14457 | What matter wet trenches, discomfort, freezing cold? |
14457 | What mattered broken boots and the mud and filth of their trenches? |
14457 | What mattered the German aëroplane overhead? |
14457 | What must they think as they lie there during the long dark hours between twilight and the late winter morning? |
14457 | What then? |
14457 | What was France doing? |
14457 | What was happening then, over there, beyond the horizon,"somewhere in France"? |
14457 | What were the thoughts of these people? |
14457 | What will be the result? |
14457 | What would happen if one of the''dummy''fleets met the other? |
14457 | When the Germans were shelling a town, who was I that a shell should pick me out to fall on or to explode near? |
14457 | When they return to their country, what will they go back to? |
14457 | Where can I get it?" |
14457 | Where is he to go? |
14457 | Where was the mattress? |
14457 | Who are these spies? |
14457 | Who goes there?" |
14457 | Who goes there?" |
14457 | Who goes there?" |
14457 | Who shall say he is not entitled to it? |
14457 | Who was in the tree lookout as the enemy swarmed across, and did he get away? |
14457 | Why? |
14457 | Why? |
14457 | Why? |
14457 | Will madame do us the honour of walking across it? |
14457 | Will there ever be any great poems about these men who have been drowned in ditches? |
14457 | Would I be allowed to land? |
14457 | Would it be a battle of expletives? |
14457 | Would it come? |
14457 | Would the German consonant triumph over the English aspirate, and both ships go down in a sea of language? |
11682 | ''And the captain?'' 11682 All safe? |
11682 | Any good? |
11682 | Are there any wounded here, sir? |
11682 | Are there many blessà © s here? |
11682 | Are you an Englishman? |
11682 | Blast yer, Bill... Carn''t yer give a bit of elber room? 11682 But not a soldier?" |
11682 | But now, in the business round Ypres, what can men do-- infantry, cavalry, scouts? 11682 But our honour? |
11682 | C''est la batterie? |
11682 | Did you see that shell burst then? 11682 Do you mean we were beaten? |
11682 | Do you mind? |
11682 | Do you think it will come to- night? |
11682 | Have you begun to realize what it means? 11682 Have you come to Paris for pleasure? |
11682 | Have you got many this time? |
11682 | Hot? 11682 How about a bath?" |
11682 | How did you like it? |
11682 | I beg your pardon, sir,he said, very politely,"but would you mind giving me a sketch of the military situation round your part?" |
11682 | I suppose you will soon be ready for Sandhurst, Dick? |
11682 | Is there any woman to embrace me? |
11682 | It is strange, is it not,said our commandant,"this contrast between war and peace? |
11682 | L''enemi? 11682 Les Anglais? |
11682 | Monsieur would like a little love? |
11682 | Perhaps there is some means by which you could prove that you stayed here? |
11682 | Prisoners? 11682 Que voulez- vous?" |
11682 | Queer, is n''t it? 11682 Queer, is n''t it?" |
11682 | Surely the Church must always preach the gospel of peace? 11682 Suzette?" |
11682 | The Front--how did it look, that place which was drawn in a jagged black line across the map on the wall? |
11682 | Ulloh... Engleesh boy? 11682 Was kann ich thun? |
11682 | What is she doing? |
11682 | What is that? |
11682 | What is the use? |
11682 | What shall it be? |
11682 | What''s that? |
11682 | What''s that? |
11682 | Where are you going to put that, Dick? |
11682 | Where are you going? |
11682 | Where? |
11682 | Who can render the intonation of that''Eh bien''? 11682 Worth it, do you think?" |
11682 | Would Monsieur care to have a little music? 11682 You are an English journalist? |
11682 | Ã � a marche, la guerre? 11682 Again and again, for nine months and more, I have heard French soldiers ask the question,Why are such things allowed by God? |
11682 | Ahlright, eh?" |
11682 | And now, after the declaration of this war, which was none of our seeking, how are they behaving, these Germans? |
11682 | And what were we doing out here? |
11682 | And who are you?" |
11682 | And why glad, you ask? |
11682 | Are people here so ignorant they do n''t even know the name of Josiah K. Schultz, of Boston, Massachusetts?" |
11682 | Are they ready? |
11682 | At the angle of two alleys the lieutenant was killed, and that is why the two notes of his''Eh bien?'' |
11682 | Besides, what if a battalion was cut up-- wiped clean out, if you like? |
11682 | But death might be at the end of the journey? |
11682 | But one of them, who stood chatting with me, had a sudden thrill in his voice as he said,"How is Paris?" |
11682 | But supposing he had flung himself upon the soldier and strangled him, or cut his throat? |
11682 | But what did he answer to eager questions about his experience? |
11682 | But what''s that? |
11682 | But why? |
11682 | By what fatal microbe of folly had the French generals been tempted towards that adventure in Alsace? |
11682 | C''est trop, n''est- ce pas?" |
11682 | Can he stand erect and fearless under a sky which is raining down jagged pieces of steel? |
11682 | Cigarettes?" |
11682 | Comment allez vous?" |
11682 | Could nothing stop this bloody business? |
11682 | Could this be Paris-- this city of shuttered shops and barred windows and deserted avenues? |
11682 | Did she know the Germans were coming to Paris? |
11682 | Did these people want war with England or with anyone? |
11682 | Do be careful, wo n''t you? |
11682 | Do you want the gale to blow us up the chimney?" |
11682 | Eh bien? |
11682 | Eh?" |
11682 | For who could say what the night would bring forth? |
11682 | Gord almighty,''ow d''yer think I can get in there?" |
11682 | Have I named any one?" |
11682 | He asked to see the soldier immediately:"''Tell me-- the commandant?'' |
11682 | He hesitated a moment and then asked timidly:"Do you think I might shake hands with one of them?" |
11682 | Here and there a strange uniform of unusual gorgeousness made all men turn their heads with a"Qui est ça?" |
11682 | How about the French? |
11682 | How about their politicians? |
11682 | How can she risk a war with France, Russia, and England?" |
11682 | How can we cope with it? |
11682 | How could they believe the theory of an optimist among them that it was a part of a great plan to secure the safety of France? |
11682 | How could they explain the meaning of that retreat to the people at home, expecting loot from the Louvre and souvenirs from Paris shops? |
11682 | How could they tell, these plain, ignorant men who had always wanted straightforward facts? |
11682 | How long would it have to wait to find its billet? |
11682 | How often must one say this to people at home who think that a modern army is encamped in the fields with bivouac fires and bell tents? |
11682 | How then could they follow the war and understand its progress if the cafà © s were closed at eight o''clock? |
11682 | How''s it going? |
11682 | If I could sleep here, on the floor, and dry myself a little-----""Who are you?" |
11682 | If such a thing were possible, why had the nation been duped by its Government? |
11682 | Il y a du progrès?" |
11682 | In retreat?" |
11682 | In that''Eh bien?'' |
11682 | In the Avenue de l''Opà © ra no Teutonic tout approached us with the old familiar words,"Want a guide, sir?" |
11682 | Is n''t that courage? |
11682 | Is there any news?" |
11682 | Is there such a place? |
11682 | It gives one a horrible heartache and one is overwhelmed with depression... Great God, how long is this war going to last?" |
11682 | It had been evacuated? |
11682 | It was not a challenge of"Qui va là ?" |
11682 | It''s pretty rough, is n''t it? |
11682 | Les Zeppelins sont venus? |
11682 | Lille? |
11682 | Mais, pourquoi pas? |
11682 | May I have a light for this cigarette?" |
11682 | Mons? |
11682 | My home? |
11682 | My wife? |
11682 | Newspaper correspondents? |
11682 | Nor give their kisses nor their love with amiability? |
11682 | Nous sommes tous dans le même cas, n''est- ce- pas?" |
11682 | Of what, avail now were their worldly ambitions and their jealousies? |
11682 | Officers approached our cars at every halt, saluted our staff officer, and asked anxious questions:"How are things going? |
11682 | Oh, Paris, was even your laughter to be abolished, if you had any heart for laughter while your sons were dying on the fields of battle? |
11682 | Only now and then the old question came to one,"This-- or the next?" |
11682 | Or was it only the wind plucking at invisible harp- strings, or visible telephone wires, and playing the spring song in Parisian ears? |
11682 | Or was it still only newspaper talk, to provide sensations for the breakfast table? |
11682 | Paris cursed the stupidity of the war, cried"How long, O Lord, how long?" |
11682 | Perhaps a rout? |
11682 | Qu''est qu''on peut faire les soirs? |
11682 | Shall I tell you how I left her, Monsieur? |
11682 | She moaned and cried,"Suzette?" |
11682 | So humanity was still beastlike, as twenty centuries ago, and the message of Christianity was still unheard? |
11682 | So she wanted her lesson? |
11682 | So these women would not smile, eh? |
11682 | So why be illogical and pander to false sentiment? |
11682 | Some of them shouted out a question:"Anglais?" |
11682 | Somebody asked,"What was that?" |
11682 | South Africa? |
11682 | Still the football players, or our soldiers scaling the ridge? |
11682 | Tabac? |
11682 | Tell me, is it time for us to go?" |
11682 | That''Eh bien?'' |
11682 | The Arming of Ulster and the Nationalists, Votes for Women, Easier Divorce, the Craze for Night Clubs-- had any of these questions any meaning now? |
11682 | The French and British dead were laid in the same graves--"Are they not brothers?" |
11682 | The most bad- tempered people in the city were those who had slept through the alerte, and in the morning received the news with an incredulous"Quoi? |
11682 | Then a voice speaking quietly across the yard:"Anyone to lend a hand? |
11682 | Then he asked a question earnestly and waited for my answer with obvious anxiety:"Will England join in?" |
11682 | Then he drew, not his sword from its scabbard, but a cigarette from its case, lighted it, and said simply:"''Eh bien?'' |
11682 | Those soldiers I talked to in the general headquarters-- how many of them are now alive? |
11682 | Toujours les Anglais?" |
11682 | Vos soldats, ou sont ils, camarade?" |
11682 | War with Germany? |
11682 | Was Lille threatened by the Kaiser''s troops? |
11682 | Was it a retreat? |
11682 | Was it only a freak of imagination that made us see masses of dark figures moving over that field in the mist? |
11682 | Was it possible that the enemy had reached that point? |
11682 | Was it the enemy? |
11682 | Was it true then that Germany had a deadly enmity against us, and warlike ambitions which would make a shambles of Europe? |
11682 | Was there really the mark of the beast upon him so that he should be killed at sight, without pity? |
11682 | Was there some unaccountable delay, or were we fulfilling our bond privately, a great drama being played behind the scenes, like the secret war? |
11682 | Was this the summons, Death itself? |
11682 | Were they all liars, these smiling Germans who had clinked glasses with us? |
11682 | Were they glad to be out of the game, away from the shriek of shells and out of the mud? |
11682 | What about our understanding with France?" |
11682 | What actor could imitate it? |
11682 | What can they be doing at the Ministry of War? |
11682 | What can we do with such a butchery?" |
11682 | What could they know about international politics? |
11682 | What did his individual life matter? |
11682 | What did it all mean? |
11682 | What did it matter-- a few more deaths to indicate a mark on the map? |
11682 | What does it all mean, this surging tide of armed men? |
11682 | What does it matter? |
11682 | What is the most courageous man to do in such an hour? |
11682 | What is the news?" |
11682 | What is the use of civilization if it leads to this?" |
11682 | What shall I do with them?" |
11682 | What uproar or riot or criminal demonstration might not burst suddenly into this tranquillity? |
11682 | What was it Blatchford had said about the Germans? |
11682 | What was that grey shadow moving? |
11682 | What was the sense of it? |
11682 | What were all those thousands of little ant- like things crawling forward over the slopes? |
11682 | What were those cheers? |
11682 | What were those little glints and flashes in the greyness of it? |
11682 | What will happen to her when I am killed? |
11682 | What would the Emperor say in Berlin where he waited for the prize of Paris and heard that it had slipped from his grasp? |
11682 | Where is her boasted organization? |
11682 | Where were the English soldiers? |
11682 | Where were the French aviators who had sworn to guard Paris from such a raid? |
11682 | Who could tell this distracted man whether the mother or child were alive? |
11682 | Why did the Philosopher blink his eyes in such a funny way, as though they smarted at specks of dust? |
11682 | Why had we been lulled into a false sense of security without a plain statement of facts which would have taught us to prepare for the great ordeal? |
11682 | Why not sink the Lusitania and set the waves afloat with the little corpses of children and the beauty of dead women? |
11682 | Why should England make war upon Germany or Germany upon England? |
11682 | Why should Germany want to fight us? |
11682 | Why should they be the pawns of the political chessboard, played without any regard for human life by diplomats and war lords and high financiers? |
11682 | Why should we have been made to fight with each other?" |
11682 | Why were the streets so deserted as though the town had been stricken with the plague? |
11682 | With Great Britain fighting side by side with France, with Russia attacking on the Eastern front, what hopes can Germany nourish now? |
11682 | Would they never tire of singing the Marseillaise? |
11682 | Yes, they have plenty of pluck, and I''ve seen something of their gunners-- quite marvellous!--but have they got any staying power? |
11682 | You want to come with us? |
11682 | what is this coming down on us? |
11682 | who goes there?" |
61177 | A lot of those poor devils will die? |
61177 | And for what, might I ask? |
61177 | Are you sufficiently wearied? |
61177 | Are you sure you saw it? |
61177 | But in the name of God, man,I said,"why do n''t they call a truce-- both sides-- and put that horror underground?" |
61177 | But the bayonet wounds and the saber wounds? |
61177 | Can not this thing be done more quietly? |
61177 | Did n''t you have a pass to go through the lines? |
61177 | Did you have any losses in the charge? |
61177 | Do these things count in the sum total? 61177 Do you see that man?" |
61177 | Get you? |
61177 | Highly interesting, is it not? 61177 How about them?" |
61177 | How far away are the Germans? |
61177 | Hurt anyone? 61177 I say, what news have you from the front? |
61177 | The British, then-- they must be there by now? |
61177 | This war-- it is a most terrible thing that it should come on Belgium, eh? 61177 Well, if they are Americans, why do n''t they talk the American language then?" |
61177 | What''s the news there? |
61177 | When did he die? |
61177 | Where is he? |
61177 | Where was this? |
61177 | Who killed him? |
61177 | Who wanted to get you? |
61177 | Why all the noise, Herr Lieutenant? |
61177 | You had charge of another execution this morning, did n''t you? |
61177 | You won that lately? |
61177 | A German said to me afterwards:"Why do we win? |
61177 | All goes well, eh? |
61177 | All? |
61177 | Are we giving the Germans a proper''iding all along the line?" |
61177 | Assuredly many innocent ones will suffer then with the guilty; but what else can we do? |
61177 | Bullet wounds? |
61177 | But had anybody been killed? |
61177 | Do you know what my men say? |
61177 | Do you think I shall be permitted to enter Brussels and seek for my two daughters? |
61177 | Had he beheld these things with his own eyes? |
61177 | He said:"We had not our daily victory to- day, eh? |
61177 | Hostile gun butts had splintered her front door; why not a stray bullet or two through her back window? |
61177 | I buy me a swine-- what you call him?--a pork? |
61177 | Is it not so, doctor?" |
61177 | Is not that so?" |
61177 | Shrapnel wounds? |
61177 | So, then, I shall have the pleasure of seeing you in the morning, shall I not? |
61177 | Speaking so low that we could scarcely catch his words, he said in broken English:"M''sieurs, the French are in Brussels, are they not?" |
61177 | Then he added:"Could you tell us, sir,''ow''s the war going? |
61177 | There might be some stupid, angry common soldier, some over- zealous under officer-- you understand me, do you not, gentlemen? |
61177 | To him I put the question:"What have you done, now, to merit the bestowal of the Cross?" |
61177 | What did he care for the code of war? |
61177 | What do you want to know?" |
61177 | Why should they? |
61177 | Will you buy some postal cards, m''sieur? |
61177 | Wounds from fragments of bombs? |
61177 | Yes? |
61177 | You heard about the case, did n''t you?" |
62571 | ''Do you think you could find it?'' 62571 ''What have you got there, sir?'' |
62571 | ''What, looking for money, my lad,''said he,''eh?'' 62571 ''Why do n''t they come on like men,''they cried,''whilst we''ve strength left in us to fight them?'' |
62571 | A distressing circumstance connected with this( shall I confess it?) 62571 Apparently not noticing what I said, he continued his lamentations, and,''Vil you no stop, sare, I say?'' |
62571 | Did you ever see a man so wounded recover? |
62571 | Do you think I am dying? |
62571 | What pen can describe the scene? 62571 ''And why particularly Driver Crammond?'' 62571 ''But what creature turned you out? 62571 ''But where are you going?'' 62571 ''But you will perhaps have the goodness to tell me where you are going yourself?'' 62571 ''Captain Mercer, are you loaded?'' 62571 ''D-- you for a fool,''he said;''what sort of a shot do you call that? 62571 ''Have you no orders?'' 62571 ''What can it mean?'' 62571 ''What is the matter with you, dear?'' 62571 ''Who do you belong to?'' 62571 ''Who turned you out?'' 62571 At length Captain Leech observed her, and called out to the company--''Does any man here know what has happened to Cochan? |
62571 | But was it really a French battery which was wrecking Mercer''s guns? |
62571 | Did He Deserve it? |
62571 | Do you think you are fighting here with your fists that you are running into the teeth of the French?'' |
62571 | Do you think you can retire quick enough afterwards?'' |
62571 | I smiled at his energy, and, pointing to the remains of my poor troop, quietly asked,''How, sir?'' |
62571 | I told him that they were nearly so, and added,''I suppose they wo n''t be wanted, at all events, before to- morrow?'' |
62571 | If French, how came he here to die alone so far in the rear of our lines? |
62571 | Is it necessary to define my sensations? |
62571 | Is it possible that I am not understood at once? |
62571 | Is there nothing in this to excite emotion? |
62571 | It may be asked what impulse sent a youth of this type-- under- sized, lean, frugal, canny-- to a soldier''s life? |
62571 | It struck me that I knew his face, and, turning back, I stopped him, asking if he was not Robert Liston, formerly a corporal in the 95th Rifles? |
62571 | Meeting one next morning, a very little fellow, I asked what had happened to them yesterday? |
62571 | Men began to look into each other''s faces, and ask the question,''Are we ever to be halted again?'' |
62571 | Musther Hills,''I heard him say,''where the d-- l is this you''re taking us to?'' |
62571 | Or, in the mad inevitable distraction of a great battle were the Allied gunners destroying each other? |
62571 | Query-- Who, and what was he firing at? |
62571 | Signed,''& c.,& c."Where is Strytem? |
62571 | The Duke turned roughly upon him,"What the devil do you want, sir?" |
62571 | The usual salutation on meeting an acquaintance of another regiment after an action was to ask who had been hit? |
62571 | The wretches had probably already done mischief elsewhere-- who knows?" |
62571 | Vere is de Dook von Vellington? |
62571 | What could I do? |
62571 | What does each separate human atom feel, when caught in that whirling tornado of passion and of peril? |
62571 | What is all this noise? |
62571 | What was this to a parcel of men who had scarcely eaten a morsel for three days? |
62571 | and for what this sudden move? |
62571 | are we off, sir?'' |
62571 | but on this occasion it was,''Who''s alive?'' |
62571 | do you remember what happened to me at Salamanca?'' |
62571 | he said, as he grasped hold of me,''who the---- do you think is to stay hum- bugging all day for such a fellow as you?''" |
62571 | mine Gott!--mine Gott; vil you no stop, sare?--vil you no stop? |
62571 | no shoes, Harris, I see, eh?'' |
62571 | thought I, where are my ammunition waggons? |
62571 | vat for is dis? |
62571 | vat is it you doos, sare? |
62571 | vere is de Dook von Vellington? |
62571 | what would such as you have done in the Pyrenees?'' |
58233 | After we go there,asked one of the older officers,"what is the easiest way out?" |
58233 | Am I seasick? |
58233 | An''yours? |
58233 | Are you wounded? |
58233 | But just after I had examined him Thompson stepped up familiarly to me and said:''Do you really think, Smith, that So- and- so did have a pain?'' 58233 Compree"is another sample of broken-- one could not say Anglicized-- French, and it is employed with the signification,"do you understand?" |
58233 | Dear old Kelly,I said, as I pressed his cold hand,"what have I to forgive? |
58233 | Do n''t you think, Kelly,I asked seriously,"that lying in a shellhole like this is rather an undignified position for two proud Anglo- Saxons?" |
58233 | Do ye mane, sor, anatomically, or jayographically? |
58233 | Do you carry much of your artillery on your person? |
58233 | Do you dodge when you hear a shell coming, Kelly? |
58233 | Does it sound like something that a young woman would claim were it untrue? |
58233 | Have swallows a sense of humor, Kelly? |
58233 | Have they a sinse of humor? 58233 How about_ thinking_ it?" |
58233 | How are you, doctor? 58233 How do you know that I am not going to report you to the police?" |
58233 | How long since you have swallowed any food, Jones? |
58233 | Might I be curious enough to ask why a young woman like yourself should be traveling in Spain in times like the present? |
58233 | To move out? 58233 W- were you t- t- tight?" |
58233 | Well, Jones, and what is it this time? |
58233 | Well, Jones, what is the trouble this time? |
58233 | Well, Kelly,I demanded,"of what are you dreaming?" |
58233 | What about liberty as opposed to this cursed German militarism? |
58233 | What are you trying to do? 58233 What da hell do ye tink I''m doin''dis for? |
58233 | What''s doing this time, Jones? 58233 What''s yer name?" |
58233 | Where have you been hit, Kelly? |
58233 | Who said Oi was married? |
58233 | Who took Vimy Ridge, Kelly? |
58233 | Why do you tell a stranger like myself this story? |
58233 | Will ye talk to thim sometimes of Kelly? 58233 You going on leave, too?" |
58233 | ''Damn you, Thompson,''I replied,''what right have you to ask me such a question?'' |
58233 | ''Hello, Brown,''says de oder,''wot- a- hell''s wrong wid yez?'' |
58233 | ''Oh, come now, Smith, really, do you think he_ did_ have a pain?'' |
58233 | Ai n''t the Russhin, an''the Prushin, an''the Frinch, an''the Eyetalian, an''aven the Turk in this foight? |
58233 | An''Oi''ve hated the Englishman all me loife----""What the devil did you come out here for anyway, Kelly?" |
58233 | An''de first answers:''Ye know dat purty little Missus Smit wot lives behind de Lion an''Dragon whose husban''s gone to de front? |
58233 | An''fer whoy? |
58233 | An''they have somethin''to foight fer, whoile Oi''d like to ask ye what has a poor divil loike me to foight fer? |
58233 | Are you seasick?" |
58233 | Blank?" |
58233 | But was it the end of the voyage? |
58233 | But, docthor,"looking at me imploringly,"ye forgive me now, do n''t ye, fer it was on''y taisin''Oi was?" |
58233 | Ca n''t swallow again?" |
58233 | Cawnt you see it, you priceless old things?" |
58233 | Could he be blamed? |
58233 | Did n''t ye see those two Brass Hats goin''along the trenches just now?" |
58233 | Do n''t you know that this is an''in''trench?" |
58233 | Do you wonder that the men made jokes? |
58233 | Do you?" |
58233 | For notting?" |
58233 | Forgetting I was only a Captain, and stalking angrily in, I demanded:--"Where the hell is the--steenth Battalion?" |
58233 | Get your bally head blown off?" |
58233 | Had n''t we better turn back?" |
58233 | He heard a voice hissing:"Who goes there?" |
58233 | I wonder does he talk in his sleep? |
58233 | Is the war changing from the old trench warfare of the past three years into open warfare of the past century? |
58233 | Is there any just raisin whoy an Oirishman should n''t butt in, too?" |
58233 | It was hard, dirty and dangerous work, but bantering voices reached us:"What did you do in the great war, papa?" |
58233 | Misery? |
58233 | Naw? |
58233 | The question was:--"Say, Kelly, what the h---- will all the lice do for a living after the war?" |
58233 | Two men are overheard at the following conversation:"Say, Bill, what are you goin''to tell the croaker?" |
58233 | W''ere''d you come from in old England?" |
58233 | We throw down a glare from a flashlight, and a Tommy''s voice angrily cries:"''Ave a''eart there, myte; d''ye think ye''re the only man in the army? |
58233 | We were going along Caron d''Aix trench when I heard an angry voice behind me demanding:"Doctor, what are you doing in this trench? |
58233 | Were they not paying to be there, and should not that fact have given them some rights over those horrid rules of discipline? |
58233 | What the''ell''s yer name?" |
58233 | When one has inadvertently filtered through, as in this case, can those in the lines be blamed for talking about foolkillers? |
58233 | Who has not felt the benefit of a good laugh? |
58233 | Who has not seen a well- developed sense of humor save a difficult situation, or at least alleviate it? |
58233 | Who''d support moy childer if Oi was kilt?" |
58233 | Will ye do me a favor, docthor, boy?" |
58233 | Would n''t he do yer heart good?" |
58233 | Would n''t you like to take an ounce of it, sir?" |
58233 | Would you kindly divest yourself of your clothes till I examine the shoulder?" |
58233 | _ Mais, que voulez vous?_ as the French say with that delightful shrug. |
58233 | or, in slang- Canadian,"do you get me, Steve?" |
58233 | with the hope of receiving a few hours or days of rest at the transport or in the hospital? |
61021 | An air fight must be rather terrible? |
61021 | And did n''t you feel any bad effects? |
61021 | And how did you feel? |
61021 | And is it,said I as we walked on together,"is it always as noisy as this?" |
61021 | And what struck you most particularly this afternoon? |
61021 | And what''s her name? |
61021 | And you have been building ships for sixty years? |
61021 | And you,said I, turning to the youthful figure beside me,"you were in the battle?" |
61021 | And you? |
61021 | Are these hammers always quite so noisy, do you suppose? |
61021 | Are they-- hurt? |
61021 | Are you often in the gas? |
61021 | Arras? |
61021 | But she''s not so very-- big, is she? |
61021 | But these lawns? |
61021 | But where are the others? |
61021 | But you''ve never flown a Nieuport before, have you, eh? |
61021 | Can you beat that? |
61021 | Can you beat that? |
61021 | Can you give us some gas? |
61021 | Can you sleep? |
61021 | Do you have many casualties still? |
61021 | Er-- I suppose that thing''s all right? |
61021 | For how long? |
61021 | Funnels or not, she''s bigger than you thought? |
61021 | Has your squadron been out lately? |
61021 | Have you built them much bigger, then? |
61021 | Have you had many air duels? |
61021 | Here,said he,"is where we teach''em to throw live bombs-- you can see where they''ve been exploding; dummies look a bit off- colour, do n''t they?" |
61021 | How is she? |
61021 | How long did you say she was? |
61021 | How much? |
61021 | K.,said I, as he floundered into a shell- hole,"about how heavy did you say these helmets were?" |
61021 | K.,said I, as we removed our cumbrous headgear,"about how much do you suppose these things weigh?" |
61021 | No, sir, but--"Nor you either, C.? |
61021 | No,he answered, turning away,"but America got quite angry-- wrote a note, remember? |
61021 | Notice the ticklin''feelin''? |
61021 | One would wonder the enemy wastes any more shells on Ypres,said I,"there''s nothing left to destroy, is there?" |
61021 | Useful things, eh? |
61021 | Was he killed? |
61021 | Well, we know two are all right, and one we think is, but the other-- rather a pal of mine--"Do you often lose fellows? |
61021 | What size guns? |
61021 | Why do you ask? |
61021 | Will she be fast? |
61021 | Wull ye hae one the noo? |
61021 | You mean that those poor fellows will recover? |
61021 | You''re staying to luncheon, of course? |
61021 | And where is the Captain during action, as a rule?" |
61021 | But next time-- who knows? |
61021 | By the way-- do you smoke?" |
61021 | Can the average reader know or even faintly imagine the other side of the picture? |
61021 | Care for a cup of tea?" |
61021 | Care to see?" |
61021 | How about a cup of tea in my dug- out?" |
61021 | How about a whisky and soda?" |
61021 | I asked him if at such times one was not inclined to feel a trifle shaken, a little nervous, or, might one say, afraid? |
61021 | I questioned,"have you done many such wonders?" |
61021 | I wailed, for the hammers were riotous again,"what has she?" |
61021 | It is all very easy to write, but who can form any just idea of such uncountable numbers? |
61021 | It would take all the afternoon to visit every ward, and they are all much alike-- but there is the mad ward if you''d care to see that? |
61021 | Like to try a lachrymatory?" |
61021 | Now, how about the poison gas; feel like going through it?" |
61021 | Now, what else can I show you? |
61021 | On the other hand there''s rifles as Old Nick himself nor nobody else could make shoot straight-- ready George? |
61021 | Over there''s one of the latest submarines, Germany ca n''t touch her for speed and size, and better than that, she''s got rat- tat--""I beg pardon?" |
61021 | Pretty good going for old England, what? |
61021 | Ready? |
61021 | This place holds about five thousand men--""Whose wonderful idea was this?" |
61021 | What would they think of this one, I wonder?" |
61021 | Who knows what noble ambitions once were theirs, what splendid works they might not have wrought? |
61021 | You lose anyone aboard?" |
61021 | he announced,"so if you''re on?" |
61021 | he remarked,"A man ca n''t shed tears and shoot straight, an''he ca n''t weep and fight well, both at the same time-- what? |
61021 | or anything?" |
61021 | said he very quietly,"they know better now, do n''t you think?" |
61021 | so-- what''s it matter, anyway?" |
37083 | And you? 37083 Are you wounded?" |
37083 | Bloemfontein? |
37083 | Ca n''t Auntie have my clothes washed? |
37083 | Can you not see,he continued,"that the hand of God is stretched out against us?" |
37083 | Fight to the bitter end? |
37083 | Has Tante( Aunt) any dried fruit for sale? |
37083 | How far is it still? |
37083 | How old are you? |
37083 | Must we understand,asked General L. Botha, when Lord Milner had read this document,--"must we understand that our proposal is rejected entirely?" |
37083 | Watchman,so I seemed to cry,"what of the night? |
37083 | What is your name? |
37083 | What o''clock is it? |
37083 | What should we eat, and what should we drink? |
37083 | What,he asked one of the latter,"do you think of a rescue?" |
37083 | Where is east? |
37083 | Where must we look for Harrismith? |
37083 | Will this lead to peace? |
37083 | (?) |
37083 | After half an hour we ask again,"And how far is it now?" |
37083 | And had these ideals now been rudely dragged through the mud by the bitter result? |
37083 | And how was this received by our burghers? |
37083 | And if at the commencement we had put our trust in God, why should we now not continue to do so? |
37083 | And then it was asked, whether the war had not been begun in faith, and whether it could not be carried through in the same faith? |
37083 | And was it not therefore the duty of everyone to join those who were going to the Government for that purpose? |
37083 | And what did the English say about the laager that they had taken? |
37083 | And what had we to record as to our loss on the following day after this terrible bombardment? |
37083 | And what shall I say of those-- our own flesh and blood-- who went over to the enemy? |
37083 | And what was his reply?--What? |
37083 | And what was the effect of this spectacle on the burghers? |
37083 | And yet how could I blame others for being troublesome when I had on one occasion got a loaf of bread from that house myself? |
37083 | But how should we surrender? |
37083 | But what sort of Peace? |
37083 | But why was all so still? |
37083 | Can I ever forget those evenings? |
37083 | Constantly the question arose in his mind, what would become of the People? |
37083 | Could he not be released? |
37083 | Could inhumanity go further? |
37083 | Could they do more? |
37083 | Delay? |
37083 | Did no dart of pain, no pang of sorrow, pass through his heart at the thought that he had taken a great share in the extinction of a free people? |
37083 | Did not thine own great hero, Wellington, declare that a nation has the right to adopt every means to resist a foe that is invading its country? |
37083 | Did the English know anything about us? |
37083 | Did this give him satisfaction? |
37083 | Do n''t we keep the war going in this way? |
37083 | EPILOGUE Do I feel any remorse, now that all is over, because I struggled on to the end? |
37083 | Fear? |
37083 | For was it not against the world that the little nation fought? |
37083 | Had that People appealed to God, and had He declared Himself against them? |
37083 | Had the faith of the People been in vain? |
37083 | Has this often happened in the history of the world? |
37083 | He put out his head through the waggon- flap and asked his sons--"Children, what is this?" |
37083 | He would ask_ where_ that bitter end was? |
37083 | How did I behave after having had to manage with my clasp- knife on the grass for so long? |
37083 | How long, we asked ourselves, would our burghers be able to hold out? |
37083 | I asked myself, as I rode by his side, what could be the secret of his power? |
37083 | I do not know how to describe it, so feeble it was,--this:"And why do you ruin England so?" |
37083 | If anybody had said then that the war would last another seventeen months, who would have believed him? |
37083 | If she asked what she was to give her two, three, or six children to eat, the rough retort was,"Ask de Wet that?" |
37083 | If the English did not wish to exterminate us, what then did they mean by driving weak women and children out of doors and destroying the houses? |
37083 | If they had been united in the struggle until now, then surely it would be wrong to be divided at the last? |
37083 | Is it not the Crown of the Orange Free State? |
37083 | It was further pointed out that horses were becoming more and more scarce, and what would the burghers signify without horses? |
37083 | It was now asked,"Where is Field- Cornet Jan Lyon?" |
37083 | Many have not been able to understand the will of God, and have been overthrown by the insulting question,"Where is now your God?" |
37083 | Merely for the sake of fighting; merely to shoot and be shot? |
37083 | One Delegate said that the war had been commenced with prayer and with the Mauser, and, he asked, what had been God''s answer to this prayer? |
37083 | PART III_ RESIGNATION_ CHAPTER I"WILL THIS LEAD TO PEACE?" |
37083 | Racial hatred? |
37083 | Renegades!--What can I say? |
37083 | Return to the Delegates and inform them that England would not grant what they desired? |
37083 | Should we get the looted cattle back? |
37083 | So the English kept on saying; yet, oh mine enemy, what right had''st thou to prescribe to us how we should fight? |
37083 | Strange, is it not? |
37083 | Surely not another proclamation? |
37083 | The burghers were terribly bored in the laager? |
37083 | The day came, and who had surrendered? |
37083 | The question now before the meeting was, whether the Representatives would accept this proposal of England, or-- reject it and continue the war? |
37083 | The question now was, what the meeting was going to do in regard to those proposals? |
37083 | The question was, Whither? |
37083 | They approached the fort in the greatest silence, but the picquet became aware of their approach and cried,"Werda?" |
37083 | This I asked myself, when we had got beyond these mountains, should we then bravely march against the enemy on the plains? |
37083 | Unconditionally? |
37083 | Was he not Chief- Commandant, or at least did he not act as such? |
37083 | Was it not God''s guidance to keep the People united to the last moment? |
37083 | Was it not because there was always something to keep us busy? |
37083 | Was it not for the sole and only purpose of getting breathing- time?--to get reorganised? |
37083 | Was it red earth, or was it the blood of friend and foe that coloured the water? |
37083 | Was it the daylight that vanquished the apprehensions and uncertainties of night? |
37083 | Was this the beginning of the end? |
37083 | Was this, I asked myself, the child whose cry I had heard in the night, when the shells of the Maxim- Nordenfeldt flew over us? |
37083 | We ask ourselves, whence the courage which inspired us to face so determinedly what was before us? |
37083 | Well, then, was there any chance left, humanly speaking, of retaining it?" |
37083 | What advantage would we gain thereby? |
37083 | What are a thousand years to Him who forms the crust of the earth through myriads of years? |
37083 | What better-- what more nutritious food could they have given me than mealies? |
37083 | What else but undisguised hostility could the Governments of the two Republics see in this action of England? |
37083 | What else was I living for? |
37083 | What is an age to Him for whom one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years are as one day? |
37083 | What is faith?... |
37083 | What is that deep rumbling in the distance? |
37083 | What is to be done now? |
37083 | What of that, if only it came at last? |
37083 | What of that? |
37083 | What was the commission now to do? |
37083 | What would become of the People if their leaders, in order to gratify their own military sentiment, surrendered unconditionally? |
37083 | What would that be? |
37083 | When he came to a farmhouse, the first questions of his officers and soldiers to the housewife were,"Where is your husband? |
37083 | When we were at Doornkloof the question persistently presented itself to me: Where in the world_ are_ we going to? |
37083 | Where are the Boers?" |
37083 | Where are you going to?" |
37083 | Where is Steyn? |
37083 | Where is de Wet? |
37083 | Where were the 4000 who had been ordered to take the hill? |
37083 | Whither were we going now, now that we could not rest in the neighbourhood of Reitz? |
37083 | Whither? |
37083 | Who can blame the Africander if he can not forget what was done to his mother, to his wife, to his sister? |
37083 | Who cared that they were the utterances of the heart, even though the heart of an enemy? |
37083 | Who is to blame for it if it exists? |
37083 | Who will condemn this action? |
37083 | Who, whilst reading them, asked of himself:"What would I desire the enemy to do, if a letter of mine should fall into their hands?" |
37083 | Why did they not leave an opening on the south for the English to retire by? |
37083 | Why did we have a Commander if, under certain circumstances, we had to decide for ourselves without recognising him? |
37083 | Why is he present at such a scene? |
37083 | Why should there still be division amongst them? |
37083 | Why should they be there? |
37083 | Why then, some Delegates asked, should this be the last chance of negotiating? |
37083 | Why, then, did the burghers feel bored in the laager? |
37083 | Why? |
37083 | Why? |
37083 | Will there be patrols of the enemy on the line? |
37083 | Would it be like that in the Cape Colony? |
37083 | Would it not be best to go through the Vaal River in order to consult Dr. von Rennenkamff, who had joined the commandos of General de la Rey? |
37083 | Would the Delegates be divided? |
37083 | Would they for all future time look back upon this, the greatest moment in the history of South Africa, with bitter reproaches against each other? |
37083 | Would they part from each other in anger? |
37083 | Would this letter be the last I should write her? |
37083 | Yet could I blame this confused multitude? |
37083 | _ But has the bitter end not come?_ Each one of you must decide that question for himself." |
37083 | _ Lord Milner._ May I ask if the prisoners- of- war will also be consulted? |
37083 | _ President Steyn._ I would like to know from Your Excellency what sort of self- government it would be? |
37083 | _ President Steyn._ Your Excellency surely can not be in earnest in putting this question? |
37083 | and then? |
37083 | did not trouble me; but"wherewithal should we be clothed?" |
37083 | have we a Japanese show here?" |
37083 | he asked, addressing the meeting,--"do you say that? |
37083 | just as in the cases I have mentioned, can give the date and the place? |
37083 | v. Niekerk._ But, Piet, you were a Commandant yourself; what did you think of our small numbers against our mighty foe then? |
37083 | what brought me, a man of peace in every sense of the word, on the field of battle? |
37083 | what is that? |
37083 | what of the night?" |
37083 | whence the strength which upheld our worn- out horses? |
37083 | who goes there?" |
37083 | who goes there?" |
37083 | why did those three foals whinny so incessantly? |
37083 | will shots be fired? |
37083 | will there be confusion? |
45542 | ''Am I disturbing you?'' 45542 ''Ow old are yer? |
45542 | Are you very hungry? |
45542 | Come to see the war? |
45542 | Do you think the Germans will get to Calais? |
45542 | Has not Belgium suffered more than all countries put together? |
45542 | Have_ you_ removed clothes and boots from helpless limbs caked on by seven weeks''mud and overrun with vermin? 45542 He could n''t go off and fetch the old man if he was on guard, could he?" |
45542 | I''ve a wife_ and_ a mother,says one; while the wilier will ask:"Can I have a second for the company sergeant- major, who is outside the tent?" |
45542 | If King George''as got wot Kaiser Bill wants, why do n''t they go and fight it out themselves? |
45542 | Is anyone left in the building? |
45542 | Sahib, will you buy me two new teeth? |
45542 | Well, and what do_ you_ want? |
45542 | What are_ you_ doing over here? |
45542 | What do you mean? |
45542 | What else could he do? |
45542 | What is it? |
45542 | What on earth are you doing here? |
45542 | What time does the leave boat go? |
45542 | What, the_ same_ company sergeant- major? |
45542 | What_ may n''t_ we put in a letter home? |
45542 | When did we take it? |
45542 | Why are n''t they in the trenches? |
45542 | Why do n''t they blow it up to safeguard the adjoining houses? |
45542 | Why do n''t you come too? 45542 Why, whatever is the matter?" |
45542 | Will we sell them just a_ little_ tea, as it is so expensive in France? 45542 Will you-- er-- stick to the Service-- er-- après la guerre?" |
45542 | Wot difference would it make to us if the country is ruled by Germans or Englishmen? |
45542 | You know, then? |
45542 | Your children around you asking, like the little boy in the picture,''And what did_ you_ do in the great war, Daddy?'' 45542 _ Après la guerre_"--what did it mean? |
45542 | _ That_ is n''t mine? |
45542 | A young"Freiwillige"of 19 immediately inquired:"What about Paris?" |
45542 | Above all, what of the principle of this breach of contract, the signing of invalid documents? |
45542 | After all, which lot is preferable? |
45542 | After all, who were we amongst the countless thousands clamouring to"get out"to the scene of action? |
45542 | Again and again unpleasant scenes come up( and when humour flags is life worth living?). |
45542 | Amazed, the civilian asked,"Why? |
45542 | And can ye wonder we want to get at''em again?" |
45542 | And dare we complain, whilst our men are in the trenches? |
45542 | And is not every third office blazoned with hieroglyphics of some sort? |
45542 | And now? |
45542 | And now? |
45542 | And to- day? |
45542 | Are n''t you drawing your pay?" |
45542 | Are you broken, heart- sick, weary? |
45542 | Besides, it is n''t usual in the Service, is it?" |
45542 | Can they save the right?" |
45542 | Did I say_ hurried_ through? |
45542 | Did you know?" |
45542 | Does not every third man wear some kind of distinctive brassard with its distinctive letters? |
45542 | Every now and then one feels tempted to say,"War? |
45542 | For was I not about to pen an anthem on all the fly traps, papers, cemeteries and fly poisons that are our daily consternation? |
45542 | For what have all previous generations laboured, legislating, studying to salve human ills? |
45542 | For what purpose could such a place ever be used again? |
45542 | Going upstairs he tapped at the door and said,''I say, old fellow, do you mind letting me get a little sleep? |
45542 | Had I by chance come upon one of the members of that huge octopus- like system of enemy espionage? |
45542 | Have- you- seen- lots- of- horrors?" |
45542 | Have_ you_ heard the groans of the wounded, seen arms rotting off and legs smashed to pieces, and dressed black gaping holes in young boys''sides? |
45542 | Have_ you_ seen faces blown beyond recognition-- faces eyeless, noseless, jawless, and heads that were only half heads? |
45542 | How can we blame the slackers who, for want of confidence, refused to throw in their lot with what seems to them a wild- goose chase-- until fetched? |
45542 | I wonder if there is anything in all billet, trench or Base existence to equal an extemporary concert? |
45542 | Is disunion the outcome of overwrought nerves? |
45542 | Is it not useless to hope that this war will be the last? |
45542 | Is it to be wondered at that we in France would gladly hear the death- sentence passed on every one of those traitor strikers? |
45542 | Is it to be wondered that there is sometimes friction? |
45542 | One expected to see him place a monocle in his eye and cap his remarks with a"What-- what?" |
45542 | One is reminded of the anecdote of the man who, when asked if he had ever been in love, replied:"In love? |
45542 | One of them was nastily peppered about the heart with shrapnel and asked:"When shall we be shot?" |
45542 | One wonders why? |
45542 | Or cigarettes-- just a few packets of Woodbines? |
45542 | Or some matches, as theirs, being a Government monopoly, are both dearer and of an inferior quality?" |
45542 | Said a Sikh to a local secretary to- day:"Sahib, you go into town?" |
45542 | Someone said:"Ca n''t we have some_ music_ now?" |
45542 | The question"Shrapnel or bullet?" |
45542 | There is but one task for all-- For each one life to give; Who stands if freedom fall? |
45542 | Was he mourning one of those who passed through earlier? |
45542 | Was not many an historical drama enacted, verse inspired, music created? |
45542 | Was not the"Tale of Two Cities"penned here? |
45542 | Were we inspired to write long descriptions of"The Front"--as they insist on calling the Base-- and of War? |
45542 | Were we not about to face all kinds of undreamed- of perils? |
45542 | What are those old stone walls feeling as their invincible enemy creeps on? |
45542 | What could he mean? |
45542 | What do_ you_ know of war? |
45542 | What matter that legs are too weak to walk or heads to think? |
45542 | What matter that one''s old vulcanite pen feels like cast iron and runs on by itself? |
45542 | What was I expected to know, to be participating in? |
45542 | What will be done to the many millions''worth of stores in this spy- ridden place? |
45542 | Where is the unity of purpose that bound us all together in the beginning? |
45542 | Where, I wonder, is the crushing success Mr. Winston Churchill promised us, for which people at home were preparing to hang out their flags? |
45542 | Who could he be? |
45542 | Who dies if England live?_"--RUDYARD KIPLING. |
45542 | Who knows when they will next sleep in a bed?" |
45542 | Why do n''t we have conscription? |
45542 | Why do we treat them so well?" |
45542 | Why not removed? |
45542 | Why, after all, should our beautiful island be left with the unfit, the loafers, the"funks"as fathers for the future generations? |
45542 | Will the hopeless cases have to be left behind? |
45542 | Will the picture I have learned to love so well ever fade? |
45542 | Will those who are knitting away at home ever realise the value of their own handiwork, I wonder? |
45542 | Will you come and speak to him, Sister?" |
45542 | You are in it too?" |
45542 | _ October 31st._ Who could believe, had they not seen for themselves, the manifold horrors of war? |
45542 | _ You?_"he added, addressing the prisoner. |
45542 | _"Is the pathway dark and dreary? |
45542 | are liable? |
45542 | roared the Major,"what''s that fly doing there?" |
45542 | the smell of the gas gangrene-- shall we ever forget it? |
45542 | they cry sadly--"et après la guerre?" |
45542 | when Captain M----, asking"May I smoke?" |
45542 | with a cheerful:"And what are you looking for?" |
46434 | ''A strained ligament(_ entorse_)?'' 46434 ''Ah, what can you expect? |
46434 | ''At Rheims?'' 46434 ''For the house of Pommery?'' |
46434 | ''Here, you, what are you groaning about?'' 46434 ''Is that the bag?'' |
46434 | ''That you, François? 46434 ''Uncomfortable, are you? |
46434 | ''What do you make of the convention of Geneva?'' 46434 ''What shirt did he have on?'' |
46434 | ''Why? 46434 ''You are leaving us?'' |
46434 | ''You are wounded, General?'' 46434 ''You know France?'' |
46434 | A military point to that bombardment? 46434 And why,"we pressed him,"did you run away without going to your mother? |
46434 | And you are away from the army now,''on permission''? |
46434 | By any chance, do you know a friend of mine, Charles Bonnell? |
46434 | Do you know what you are in danger of in telling lies? 46434 Do you know, my sister, what has been done to the ciborium( sacred vessel for the sacrament)?" |
46434 | Do you spell it B- o- n- n- e double l? |
46434 | Do you think I''m taller than my uncle? |
46434 | Enough, for I may die this very night And how should I dare die, this man let live? |
46434 | Have you told your parents or any one? |
46434 | How is this? |
46434 | How long did he remain there thinking before he accomplished his crime? |
46434 | How many milliards will bring us back our happiness? |
46434 | Is it not true that the Lady Superior of the Hospital organized her people for the purpose of firing on our wounded with rifles? |
46434 | It is then his son, the Crown Prince, who is responsible? |
46434 | Oh, then, you care more for your furniture than you do for your own safety? |
46434 | Pretty stagey, is n''t it? |
46434 | Were they soldiers or officers? |
46434 | What does it remind me of? |
46434 | Where are you going? |
46434 | Which is the one who lives next door to the hospital? |
46434 | Why did you burn our homes? |
46434 | Why is this house shut up? 46434 Why should nations go to war, since the principle of nationality is not vital?" |
46434 | Why will you set fire to this house? |
46434 | You are not afraid? |
46434 | You are often shelled? |
46434 | You have n''t any bread? |
46434 | You rode easily? |
46434 | Your name is Bonnell? |
46434 | ''Who is upon the Lord''s side?''" |
46434 | And for which nationality, Greek or Bulgar? |
46434 | And the remedy? |
46434 | Are not the greatest nations of mixed blood? |
46434 | But does our recent history mean much to Czech or Russian Jew or Calabrian who has settled among us? |
46434 | But how is the social change inside the country to be related to other States? |
46434 | But is that scrupulous care of mine a justification to the_ Independent_ for omitting to tell the humiliations visited on that convent school? |
46434 | But was the case not established by the same process I have used-- personal observation, documentary proof, and the testimony of eye- witnesses? |
46434 | But who will do the paying, and when will they do it? |
46434 | Can that be the village of Evres on fire? |
46434 | Could n''t work it to get the front? |
46434 | Did n''t you think she might be anxious?" |
46434 | Do I need to say that the soldier was bought out? |
46434 | Do the Balkan mountains represent the purposes of God in Macedonia? |
46434 | Do you think race and nation are the same thing? |
46434 | Does venom act so? |
46434 | Has Leon Mirman, Prefect of Meurthe- et- Moselle, given them a statement in which he retracts what he said to me? |
46434 | Has that testimony shown that the destruction and murder did not take place? |
46434 | Have the social workers as a unit denounced the continuing injustice to Belgium? |
46434 | Have they examined the originals of the German diaries and found that I have omitted or altered words? |
46434 | Have they spent many days in Lorraine taking testimony from curé and sister and Mayor and peasant? |
46434 | Have you met Dick? |
46434 | He stood there a moment in silence, then burst out again angrily:"''What are you eyeing me for? |
46434 | He wrote:"What is America to do? |
46434 | How can an officer in war time disobey the orders of the supreme military command? |
46434 | How can they know it? |
46434 | How does it differ from other sections of the map? |
46434 | How fashion a civilization that shall absorb and assimilate those blood- strains and traditional beliefs? |
46434 | How shall a man serve all humanity whom he has not seen, if he does not serve his nation whom he has seen? |
46434 | How should I go about getting that promise? |
46434 | I thought to myself, What is happening? |
46434 | I thought: What is going to happen to them? |
46434 | If we are disloyal, what then do you call the Choates, the Roosevelts, the Eliots, and the foreign- born Haven Putnams?" |
46434 | Is it fair of the_ Independent_ to be inaccurate? |
46434 | Is it too much to ask them to abstain from their peace parties and their anti- munitions campaigns? |
46434 | Is that civilization potent enough to shape the new contributions? |
46434 | It is easy to throw the discussion into nonsense by asking: Is there any such thing as a pure race? |
46434 | Neutrality of word and thought? |
46434 | Not yet can an American of these recent years stand off from the stream of his experience, saying,"What does it mean that I am an American?" |
46434 | One of us asked him:"And were n''t you afraid, my boy, of the fight?" |
46434 | Quis pro Domino? |
46434 | Shall we take away their tradition from them? |
46434 | So why should we who read of them? |
46434 | The Germans saw him and said:"It is a lunatic asylum, do n''t you see?" |
46434 | The final question was this:"As the result of this war, what hope have we of reconstruction and an altered policy in Germany?" |
46434 | The officer asked me:"''Do you know these ladies?'' |
46434 | The quarrel none of ours? |
46434 | The second question read:"How are such acts of German severity to be accounted for?" |
46434 | The test of our desire for peace will be found in this: Do we mean business? |
46434 | This idea is either good or evil; and you continue to call yourselves men and Christians, you claim the right of remaining neutral? |
46434 | To what country can he travel where the sun is pleasanter on happy fields? |
46434 | Too proud to fight? |
46434 | Want a cigarette, do you?'' |
46434 | War profits out of their blood? |
46434 | Were they present in Belgium at the moment of impact? |
46434 | What blend can we obtain from a score of mixtures? |
46434 | What does America mean? |
46434 | What is Coöperative Americanism? |
46434 | What is it trying to do? |
46434 | What is the solution of these diverse elements? |
46434 | What people can he visit who have the dignity and simplicity of his neighbors? |
46434 | What shall be our foreign policy? |
46434 | What the people say is this:"Ah, back in Paris, were you? |
46434 | What to do? |
46434 | What will they do? |
46434 | What will you do about it?" |
46434 | Where are your majors?" |
46434 | Where does our future lie? |
46434 | Why are these Southerners loved? |
46434 | Why did they commit these horrors? |
46434 | Why do n''t they cease their quarrel, and live as we live? |
46434 | Why do their accomplishments conquer the world so gently, so irresistibly? |
46434 | Why does Mr. Bourne applaud the one and lash the other? |
46434 | Why else blindly scrape one''s way past a creaking truck of shells, testing 20 horses, two abreast, steaming in their own cloud of sweaty vapor? |
46434 | Why have you taught your young men the use of arms?'' |
46434 | Why should he be seeking strange lands, like the troubled races? |
46434 | Why should not social workers declare themselves in time? |
46434 | Why the overnight change from sharp intolerance of successful injustice? |
46434 | Why?'' |
46434 | Will you put out the fire?" |
23565 | ''And what will become of us women?'' 23565 ''But with Simon''s?'' |
23565 | ''By whose orders?'' 23565 ''Ca n''t, can I, Ann?'' |
23565 | ''Captain, where was that picket- firing?'' 23565 ''Did you ever reflect, Tom, upon the source of political power?'' |
23565 | ''Do you call that brother Jim''s clothes?'' 23565 ''Hab you made your peace wid God, and are you ready for eberlasting rest?'' |
23565 | ''Have you had any lately?'' 23565 ''How dare you insult a Regular officer?'' |
23565 | ''How many rooms?'' 23565 ''Reckon you hab a moder and sisters?'' |
23565 | ''There, sir,''said the General, pointing, with rather a pleased countenance;''do you see that barrel, sir?'' 23565 ''Tut, tut, Tom, did n''t I stand shoulder to shoulder with your father in the old Clay Legion? |
23565 | ''Well, I swow, old woman, is this what you call a private fixin''?'' 23565 ''What are you doing there, sir?'' |
23565 | ''What''s the matter? 23565 ''Who the d----l are you?'' |
23565 | ''Who the h-- l are you, sir?'' 23565 ''Why, gentlemen officers?'' |
23565 | ''Wo n''t you get off your critters?'' 23565 ''Your name and Regiment, sir?'' |
23565 | And are they Rebel cannon? |
23565 | And could n''t you let that go? 23565 And is he going to practise upon us?" |
23565 | And what is a Tippo, Typo, or Toppographical Engineer, Sergeant? |
23565 | And whin? 23565 And who is Abraham''s Daughter?" |
23565 | At this I straightened up, drew up my shirt collar, pulled down my vest, and said with a sort of hopeful inquiry,''Why should there?'' 23565 But how did you get the sword?" |
23565 | But how did you hear all this? 23565 But, Captain,"said his First Lieutenant,"would you fight alongside of a darkie?" |
23565 | But, Lieutenant, if that''s so,alluding to the purpose of their march,"why are we halting here?" |
23565 | Can I see a Chaplain? |
23565 | Captain, where did you make the raise? |
23565 | Charlie, what''s the state of the larder? |
23565 | Corporal,said he, addressing the little Irish Corporal,"do you know how near we are to Martinsburg?" |
23565 | Did he drink and swear? |
23565 | Did they intimate any opinion as to what we ought to do? |
23565 | Do n''t the river surround them, and can they cross at more than one place, and that a bad one, as an ould woman whose pig I saved to- day tould me? |
23565 | Do n''t you think I had oughter Be a going down to Washington To fight for Abraham''s Daughter? |
23565 | Do you really think so? |
23565 | Do you recollect, General,I remarked,"whether you had forty rounds of ball cartridge in your box then?" |
23565 | For revenge? |
23565 | From my Head- Quarters, sir? 23565 General,"suggested the Colonel,"would not that have been improper? |
23565 | Get it? 23565 Goin''to stay yer-- right in this meadow?" |
23565 | Has he ordinary honesty? 23565 Has he the foresight common among business men? |
23565 | Has the Sergeant told''the whole truth,''and nothing but the truth? |
23565 | His canteen? |
23565 | How can I do it? |
23565 | How did he make it? |
23565 | How long can I live? |
23565 | How so, Terence? |
23565 | How so? |
23565 | I did n''t intend it as a sermon; what application would you make? |
23565 | In regard to what point, General? |
23565 | In regard to what point? 23565 In what way?" |
23565 | Is n''t it something like a land surveyor; and be Jabers, was n''t the great Washington himself a land surveyor? 23565 Is the movement general?" |
23565 | Oh, it''s the ould First ye are spaking about, is it? 23565 Point out the Devil!--will you point to something that is strictly in accordance with the regulations? |
23565 | Pretty well played,said one of the crowd;"but what has that to do with a whisky barrel?" |
23565 | Prove my loyalty? |
23565 | So bad as that? 23565 The General was about leaving the Sibley, when he turned suddenly;"''Do you drink, sir?'' |
23565 | Then you want to make us pay nearly what the whole farm cost you for using the meadow a single night? |
23565 | Thin why the Divil do n''t we charge? |
23565 | Tom,said a non- commissioned officer, addressing a private whom we have before met in these pages,"where did you get that box?" |
23565 | Was it a Rebel pig? |
23565 | We had n''t time to look around before the old woman screeched out--''You wo n''t disturb my private fixin''s, will you?'' |
23565 | We have the Pyrrhic dance as yet; Where is our Pyrrhic phalanx gone? 23565 Well, Captain, what did you see?" |
23565 | Well, what does all this mean? |
23565 | Were there many Rebs about? |
23565 | What authority have you, George? |
23565 | What did you enlist for, anyway, Terence? |
23565 | What does it all mean, Charlie? 23565 What for you shrug your shoulders?'' |
23565 | What is up now, Corporal? |
23565 | What luck, Adjutant? |
23565 | What right have you to confiscate it? |
23565 | What sort of swearin''have you for that? |
23565 | What''s the matter now? |
23565 | What''s the matter with Old Pigey? |
23565 | What, killed? |
23565 | What, sir? |
23565 | When did you get him, Corporal? |
23565 | When, do you say? 23565 Where are your children?" |
23565 | Where did those dogs come from? |
23565 | Where did you steal your whiskey? |
23565 | Where does the old fellow live, Corporal? |
23565 | Where is the Captain, Lieutenant? |
23565 | Who is Hannah Amanda? |
23565 | Who is quartered here? |
23565 | Who? 23565 Why did n''t they join him?" |
23565 | Why do they not now, come boldly out and acknowledge that slavery is a curse to any nation? |
23565 | Why not, Doctor? |
23565 | Why not, sir? 23565 Why, what could Old John have done with them?" |
23565 | Why, what''s in the wind now? |
23565 | Why, what''s the matter wid ye, boy? 23565 Why, where did you get that?" |
23565 | Why? |
23565 | Why? |
23565 | Why? |
23565 | Will the General please indicate which is correct? |
23565 | Will you please point them out, General? |
23565 | Would you drive a darkie away if he came to assist you in a struggle for life? |
23565 | ''Just look at the miners who frequent your hotel, each of them has influence, and do n''t you think that you could control their votes? |
23565 | ''That your private mark, eh?'' |
23565 | ''The d----l it didn''t-- would you have me disbelieve my own ears? |
23565 | ''Took it?'' |
23565 | ''What does this mean?'' |
23565 | ''Where did that shell explode?'' |
23565 | ''Where have I seen service? |
23565 | ''Where have you ever seen service?'' |
23565 | ''Why need you concern yourself about it?'' |
23565 | *****"What''s the matter, Dinah?" |
23565 | *****"Where is Old Pigey?" |
23565 | *****"Who commands you?" |
23565 | A laugh, with the inquiry"how he knew that?" |
23565 | About daylight the General came out, rubbing his eyes, wanting to know who that early bird was? |
23565 | And have they not equal claims? |
23565 | And how high above him did this red- tapism extend? |
23565 | And why should n''t we use them? |
23565 | Are you the owner?" |
23565 | At last says he:"''Well, how did you leave the horse?'' |
23565 | Bray, eh?" |
23565 | But again, if the Rebels were in force, why did they not attack us? |
23565 | But what can be expected from officers who are not in the service from patriotic motives, but rather from prospects of pay and position? |
23565 | But what is to become of the Lieutenant- Colonel?" |
23565 | But when did you hear that?" |
23565 | But who tould you that you wud be kilt, and meself that''s alone and friendless escape? |
23565 | But why individualize? |
23565 | But why multiply? |
23565 | By the way, whose hand- writing is this copy in?" |
23565 | Can you ride him?" |
23565 | Captain? |
23565 | Clerk? |
23565 | Colonel, you are a lawyer, and is it possible that you ca n''t see what that d----d Court has done?" |
23565 | Did you ever hear any of my misfortunes?" |
23565 | Do n''t you see the boys?" |
23565 | Do you know that you have influence-- and political influence at that?'' |
23565 | Do you understand, sir?'' |
23565 | Eh? |
23565 | Eh? |
23565 | Eh?" |
23565 | Every night we are troubled with the persimmon business,"said the Colonel;"but what does the''also Lying''mean?" |
23565 | George, did you ever hear any patriotism about those Head- quarters? |
23565 | Has it come to this? |
23565 | He rushed to him,''My boy, who fired that shot?'' |
23565 | How big is that house?'' |
23565 | How can any living man tell that the batteries we saw to- day upon the ridge, are not the batteries we drove before us yesterday? |
23565 | How do you like the smack of that, Tom?" |
23565 | How does that strike you?'' |
23565 | How long must these sneaking Catilines in high places abuse our patience? |
23565 | How was that?" |
23565 | How will Gen. Franklin do?'' |
23565 | How you like him? |
23565 | Hudson,''said the Prince of politicians,''how can I repay you for your services?'' |
23565 | I wonder whether this Grand Army of the Potomac would n''t halt when about going into battle, to see whether the men had their shoe- strings tied?" |
23565 | If their pictures are faithful, where in the world do our swarms of pugs and aquilines come from worn by those claiming Revolutionary descent? |
23565 | In hip?'' |
23565 | In what other nation can you combine the elements of the American volunteer? |
23565 | Is he broke?" |
23565 | Is he likely to be imposed upon?" |
23565 | Is it beyond their skill to make a pug or an aquiline an index to nobility of soul or heroic resolve?) |
23565 | Is that the order you mean? |
23565 | Lieutenant? |
23565 | Major, where''s your canteens?'' |
23565 | Of two such lessons why forget The nobler and the manlier one?" |
23565 | Rheumatism, eh? |
23565 | The fellow that has been going along nearly double, with both hands over the pit of his stomach, for a week past?" |
23565 | The little Dutchman would yell out whenever he would see him--''What for you come? |
23565 | Their movements indicate that_ they_ realize their position fully; but when will the country realize that''strategy''is played out?" |
23565 | To one fond of mountain scenery, and who is not? |
23565 | To say nothing of their fighting, why do n''t our Generals use them as servants, and why are they not our teamsters and laborers? |
23565 | Was it the force that we had driven before us? |
23565 | What are you anyhow? |
23565 | What did the land cost you?" |
23565 | What does that Record show?" |
23565 | What for you want him? |
23565 | What have we here, any how?" |
23565 | What is it, anyhow?'' |
23565 | What is the Constitution worth without a country for it to control?" |
23565 | What need you care about the brains of a soldier? |
23565 | What will General McClellan say with that record before him? |
23565 | What you tink?" |
23565 | When did you scrub last?" |
23565 | When will earnest men cease to be foiled in this war by treacherous commanders? |
23565 | When will our Hawthornes and our Taylors be just to the land of their birth? |
23565 | Where are our old fighting stock of Generals? |
23565 | Where''s your horse?'' |
23565 | Who ever heard of a clerk being employed? |
23565 | Who ever saw a dead cavalryman? |
23565 | Who would be the successor? |
23565 | Who''ll go along?" |
23565 | Whose canteen have you been sucking Commissary out of?" |
23565 | Why can not the whole country meet the issue boldly as one man, and atone for past offence by unanimity in the abolition of the evil?" |
23565 | Why do n''t they come down and shoulder muskets themselves?'' |
23565 | Why do n''t we advance? |
23565 | Why do n''t we advance?" |
23565 | Why do n''t we attack them?" |
23565 | Would it not have implied an already existing organization of the court? |
23565 | Would the change be radical? |
23565 | Would you have your children, Joe Dixon, insulted, made do the bidding of some long- haired lank mulatto nabob? |
23565 | Yes, I''ll be G-- d d----d,"and his arms came down slapping against his hips,"let him off, with what? |
23565 | You do n''t think that camping upon this meadow will injure it any, do you?" |
23565 | _ Undue and unjust deference._ Does not the history of the Army of the Potomac prove it? |
23565 | did n''t we beat the Rebs yesterday?" |
23565 | did you say, sir?'' |
23565 | did you say?'' |
23565 | do you know, Lieutenant, that that fight was all a mistake upon our part? |
23565 | do you say, Adjutant?" |
23565 | eh? |
23565 | how far do you suppose that firing is?" |
23565 | on his coat buttons?" |
23565 | or Orderly? |
23565 | or were the Rebels in force upon that ridge, making the Oppequan their line of defence? |
23565 | our Hookers, Heintzelmans, Hancocks, and men of like kidney? |
23565 | such a night as this?" |
23565 | whar did you git the jump- high?'' |
23565 | what news from the Sibley?" |
23565 | when will my moder and sisters hear of dis, and what will dey say?'' |
23565 | who,"elevating his voice,"would have furnished hot rolls for the officers, and warm bread cakes and pies for the men? |
23565 | why did you go for a Soldier?" |
23565 | why did you go for a Soldier?" |
23565 | why did you go for a soldier?" |
23565 | will you permit a corporal, and an Irishman at that, to spake a word to ye?" |
22324 | ''But what is this Australian doing? 22324 ''What authority have you for taking away this coal?'' |
22324 | A bit of leave and a bit of golf would be a nice change now, eh? 22324 And you know it''s forbidden for waggons to be trotted except in very exceptional circumstances?" |
22324 | And you made no attempt to prevent it trotting until the sergeant- major told you to stop it? |
22324 | Any news about us? |
22324 | Any news? |
22324 | Any news? |
22324 | Are they going to hold it? |
22324 | Are you from the--nd Brigade? |
22324 | Are you improving your accommodation at the battery? |
22324 | Are you ready? |
22324 | Are you there, Morgan? |
22324 | As we did n''t take a train ride, should I push you back in that, major? |
22324 | B Battery... two casualties... how was that? |
22324 | Battery''s pretty done, I suppose? |
22324 | But do n''t you know that it is an Army order-- that guns should be left parallel? |
22324 | But listen; can you hear all that traffic? 22324 But what about the men who have been out here? |
22324 | Ca n''t we shorten this preliminary verbiage? |
22324 | Can you get on to them? |
22324 | Can you hear machine- gun fire? |
22324 | Can you see them? 22324 Can you see them?" |
22324 | Can you tell me how the front line runs now? |
22324 | Can you tell me where the--th Brigade Headquarters are? |
22324 | Can you turn one of my batteries on to them? |
22324 | Did n''t he say''his General''? 22324 Did n''t you see him while you were there?" |
22324 | Did the Boche shell much during the attack? |
22324 | Did the Boches ever try this? |
22324 | Did they? |
22324 | Did those come anywhere near you? |
22324 | Did you notice any tracks from the wood towards the batteries?... 22324 Did you notice his regiment? |
22324 | Did your rations get up last night? |
22324 | Do n''t you keep your guns parallel when you are n''t firing? |
22324 | Do you agree? |
22324 | Do you know if Major Bartlett read this? |
22324 | Do you know the latest motto for the Labour Corps? |
22324 | Do you realise the Brigade has been only four days out of the line since August 1st? 22324 Do you see that signalling pole on the roadside? |
22324 | Do you see the square piece removed from the church spire, sir?... 22324 Do you think twenty- five too much? |
22324 | Do you think you can get back to the battery, bombardier? |
22324 | Do you want feeds on, sir? |
22324 | Do you want to buy a calf, old boy? |
22324 | Does he shell much? |
22324 | Does the offer of a reward refer to me, sir? |
22324 | Got any ammunition left after filling up the limbers? |
22324 | Had many casualties? |
22324 | Have the other sections got up all right? |
22324 | Have you got him at the waggon line? |
22324 | Have you had the''PREPARE FOR ATTACK''? |
22324 | Have you heard the story of the old woman at S----? |
22324 | Have you no aiming- posts? |
22324 | Have you seen the colonel? |
22324 | He was in a hole behind some trees,he said,"and we were walkin''along, when he hit old Alf in the foot----""Is old Alf all right?" |
22324 | Heavies doing good work to- day? |
22324 | How do you find them? 22324 How is the colonel?" |
22324 | How is the colonel? |
22324 | How long had you been in the line? |
22324 | How long have you been here? |
22324 | How long is it since orders were issued? |
22324 | How was Major Veasey wounded? |
22324 | How''s he got through as far as this without any one shooting at him? |
22324 | Is it a red- roofed house? |
22324 | Is it true, sir, that we''ve done well up north? 22324 Is n''t that a battery order?" |
22324 | Is that official? |
22324 | Is that one of your batteries? |
22324 | Is that the adjutant, sir? |
22324 | Is that the adjutant, sir?... 22324 Is the battery in action?" |
22324 | Is there a house on top of that hill? |
22324 | Is there anything you want me to tell them-- or are you coming round yourself later? |
22324 | Is this it, sir? |
22324 | Is this the--rd Brigade? |
22324 | It''s a shooting- box, is n''t it? 22324 Jerry is n''t as cheeky as he used to be in Flanders last year, is he?" |
22324 | Life''s very hard sometimes, is n''t it? |
22324 | Not waggon line? |
22324 | Now what are we going to do about a meal? |
22324 | Of course,interrupted the other colonel;"but what are you doing now? |
22324 | Oh, is it, sir? |
22324 | Rather amusing just now to recall that''Truth''a short while ago was saying there were too many horses in the Field Artillery, is n''t it? |
22324 | Ready, Wilde? |
22324 | Should we wait a few minutes on the road, sir? |
22324 | The battery commander was n''t here then? |
22324 | The waggon was trotting away, was it? |
22324 | These sudden bursts of fire are very disconcerting, are n''t they? |
22324 | Was he a staff captain, with a Military Cross and another ribbon? |
22324 | Was ist ihr regiment? |
22324 | Was the battery still firing when you came away? |
22324 | We have one tent, have n''t we? |
22324 | Well, Dumble, what news? |
22324 | Were n''t you in my battery? |
22324 | Were you much shelled when you took your waggon lines up there this evening? |
22324 | What about a fire, sir? |
22324 | What about the--nd Brigade? |
22324 | What about these Defence File papers and the maps on the wall, sir? |
22324 | What about this, sir? |
22324 | What are you doing here? |
22324 | What are you firing at, Johns? |
22324 | What batteries have actually got over the canal? |
22324 | What battery do you belong to? |
22324 | What brigade? |
22324 | What do you mean? |
22324 | What do you say if we stop at this place and go on after a rest? |
22324 | What do you think of my quarters? |
22324 | What road are we going to bring the cart along when we come back? 22324 What sort of a time have you had?" |
22324 | What were our infantry doing? |
22324 | What''s become of the aiming- posts? |
22324 | What''s happened to our anti- aircraft people? |
22324 | What''s happened? |
22324 | What''s he up to? |
22324 | What''s it like up there? |
22324 | What''s the odds on the war ending by Christmas? |
22324 | What''s the view of things at Infantry Headquarters, sir? |
22324 | What''s your name, Bombardier? |
22324 | When did Colonel---- take over? |
22324 | Where are our new positions, sir? |
22324 | Where are we to find them, since they wo n''t give us co- ordinates over the telephone?... 22324 Where are you bound for?... |
22324 | Where are you going now? |
22324 | Where is B Battery? |
22324 | Where''s Morgan sleep? 22324 Where''s my groom?" |
22324 | Who gave orders for them to leave? 22324 Who is that man?" |
22324 | Who told you that? |
22324 | Who''s that? |
22324 | Who''s up there? |
22324 | Whom are you from? |
22324 | Why did n''t you tell us that before? |
22324 | Why did they send us here? |
22324 | Why do n''t you obey it, then? |
22324 | Why not try a whistling code? |
22324 | Will you come over and see our colonel, sir? |
22324 | Wo n''t you wait and have breakfast, sir? |
22324 | Wounded last night taking up ammunition, was n''t he? |
22324 | Wounded? |
22324 | Yes, but you know where we are, do n''t you?... 22324 You and C are running as separate batteries again, are n''t you? |
22324 | You are quite sure Major Harville was killed? |
22324 | You knew you were doing wrong.... Why did you send the waggon off when you saw the sergeant- major? |
22324 | You remember the doctor''s fat mare, sir-- the wheeler, you used to call her? 22324 You were in Combles when you were captured?" |
22324 | You''re doing liaison for Division, are n''t you? |
22324 | You''ve got a big piece of chalk this morning, have n''t you? |
22324 | You''ve had some of the Americans with you, have n''t you? |
22324 | '', does n''t it?" |
22324 | --with a rush of hopefulness--"you have no orders, I suppose, for the--nd Brigade?" |
22324 | A staff captain is on a brigadier- general''s staff.... His colonel?... |
22324 | A strained voice outside shouted,"Is the colonel there? |
22324 | And are n''t they hot with the machine- gun? |
22324 | Any we did n''t want would we burn, or drop in the stream before we left? |
22324 | Are you sure he was a staff captain? |
22324 | As he thanked me he asked,"Are n''t you fed up with this journey? |
22324 | But do you know what I did the last time I was on leave and had a few rounds over my home course----?" |
22324 | But there''s a risk, and I should prefer to be on the safe side.... Will you speak to the General about it?" |
22324 | But what do you think? |
22324 | But what was this? |
22324 | Can more ammunition be sent up immediately, please? |
22324 | Can you see it?... |
22324 | Can you tell me how many guns you have in action now?" |
22324 | Can you turn your guns on to''em?" |
22324 | Concentrate Two 0 minutes on Number One.... Corrector 152.... Why did n''t you shout out your Fuze Number 3?... |
22324 | Could it be that the attack had really surprised the Boche? |
22324 | Did I not rouse a frowning town major and two amazed sergeant- majors before 5 A.M. and demand that they should do something in the matter? |
22324 | Did he show you a chit?'' |
22324 | Did not this entirely support my belief of the early morning? |
22324 | Did you hear, too, about Manison, one of the new officers? |
22324 | Did you see Tom?" |
22324 | Do n''t say anything over the wire, of course.... Any papers for me to see?" |
22324 | Do you know if they are round here?" |
22324 | Give me counter- batteries, will you?" |
22324 | Had n''t you better let the colonel know?" |
22324 | Has he any authority to draw coal? |
22324 | Have you seen them in action?... |
22324 | He''s not troubling our infantry,"he informed me, and then added,"Has the kit been got away from the quarry yet?" |
22324 | How did you leave the cider- cellar?" |
22324 | How many thousand rounds have they fired?" |
22324 | I asked...."Did n''t you tell him it was our dog?" |
22324 | I crackled a way among twigs and undergrowth until the piquet called out,"Who goes there?" |
22324 | I did my tour of the batteries, heard Beadle''s jest about the new groom who breathed a surprised"Me an''all?" |
22324 | I did not know Major---- very well, but a habit contracted through frequent visits to the Infantry made me call out"Any news?" |
22324 | I heard the colonel say,"Are you troubled by gas?" |
22324 | I heard the''ping''and saw dust come out of the window.... Now then, is that line through yet?" |
22324 | I opened the door and walked down the passage, calling,"Is this the--rd Field Artillery Brigade?" |
22324 | I overheard one man, who had accepted a pair of leggings from a prisoner, reply to a comrade''s mild sneer,"Why not?... |
22324 | I told him Colonel B---- had called, and he said he''d go round and see him-- their mess is in the village, is n''t it?" |
22324 | I''ll offer a reward for it.... Will you come with me to look for it?" |
22324 | Is n''t it a topper?" |
22324 | Is n''t that one of them, that black horse lying under the trees?" |
22324 | Is that clear?... |
22324 | Is the adjutant there?" |
22324 | Is the colonel far away?" |
22324 | Manning gave me a"Had a good leave, sir?" |
22324 | Never mind; the old horse has earned his keep these last few days, has n''t he?" |
22324 | Now, who has any suggestions? |
22324 | Shall I make it fifteen?" |
22324 | The adjutant''s voice, low, solemn, but resolved-- he had his work to do:"It is absolutely certain it was the colonel? |
22324 | There is no shadow of doubt? |
22324 | There''s a dead horse round the corner...""Have you been shelled much at the battery?" |
22324 | There''s a show to- morrow, and we must be over the canal before daybreak.... Heard the splendid news?... |
22324 | They''re fine, are n''t they?" |
22324 | This was one told with quiet relish by our guest that night:--"You remember the---- show?" |
22324 | Three Two- fifty-- Two Nine- fifty.... Will you acknowledge orders, Sergeant Kyle?..." |
22324 | Umph.... Well, where are you to be found?... |
22324 | Was he a gunner or an infantryman, or what?" |
22324 | Was he wearing red?" |
22324 | Was n''t this talk of luring him on a myth? |
22324 | We had both ducked; the colonel looked up and asked,"Well, do we continue?" |
22324 | Well, have you been with any of''our boys''?... |
22324 | What are they-- artillery?" |
22324 | What had become of the sergeant- major with the waggon that was to gather up our left kit? |
22324 | What if they were true, and what if the offensive on this front had been checked because of the happenings North? |
22324 | What if to- morrow should result in failure? |
22324 | What was happening on the other side of the canal? |
22324 | What was that story a Corps officer told me the other day? |
22324 | Which is the way to it?" |
22324 | Which way do you go from here?" |
22324 | Who do you belong to?" |
22324 | Who was it gave the order to remove the aiming- posts?" |
22324 | Why ca n''t they do their work properly?" |
22324 | Why ca n''t they send to us as arranged? |
22324 | Why did he take such a long time? |
22324 | Why had n''t I put on my best pair of leggings to come away in? |
22324 | Why this strange quiescence? |
22324 | Why were you so long?" |
22324 | Will you get back and see that telephone wire is brought up? |
22324 | Will you send up my British warm when you get back, some sandwiches for Bushman and myself, and my Thermos flask?" |
22324 | Will you take the orders down from this?" |
22324 | Wo n''t they be the people of England after the war-- the real representative people?" |
22324 | Would he know me after my six months''absence? |
22324 | Would we distribute the supplies free to our men? |
22324 | You ca n''t give a co- ordinate over the telephone?... |
22324 | You ca n''t give me a more definite map- spotting? |
22324 | You ca n''t tell us anything more definite?... |
22324 | You quite understand? |
22324 | You remember the team we were training for the''Alarm Race''when we were out at St Saveur? |
22324 | You''re thirsty, are n''t you?" |
22324 | You''ve heard about young Beale being wounded, of course? |
22324 | exclaimed the brigadier, staring at my head and shoulders,"where did you come from?" |
22324 | in the Retreat,"he went on;"he was killed on August 8th-- went out to clear up a machine- gun pocket.... Damned nice fellow, was n''t he?" |
22324 | is n''t that a fine burst?" |
22324 | lines will be''?" |
22324 | no one has been here with a watch.... You want an officer to come over to you?... |
22324 | with a parade- ground volume of voice; he followed with the clarion demand of"Why do n''t you acknowledge orders?" |
22324 | you''re back,"ejaculated the major when I touched him...."Have you brought my white wine?" |
20400 | And why? |
20400 | Any Colonials? |
20400 | Anything serious, sir? |
20400 | Anything serious? |
20400 | Are you in a giant hurry to get back to Henniker''s? |
20400 | Can you spare me, sir? |
20400 | Come and sit down, Mr Intelligence; have you raised a band of robbers yet? |
20400 | Did you ever see such fellows? 20400 Do you know where to find him?" |
20400 | Do you speak Dutch and Kaffir? |
20400 | Eggs-- butter? 20400 Have you got him?" |
20400 | How about Zwingelspan? |
20400 | How did you see me? 20400 How do you mean?" |
20400 | How was we to know, sir, as how they were generals? 20400 In what capacity do you want me?" |
20400 | Mr Intelligence, what do you make the distance between this and the pass this side of Fauresmith? |
20400 | No; who are you? |
20400 | Not Henniker''s? |
20400 | Oh, it''s you, is it? |
20400 | Oh, you are from the general, are you? 20400 Railway Staff Officer? |
20400 | That I do n''t wear kid gloves----? |
20400 | Well, my pocket Ulysses, what is the extent of your adventure? |
20400 | Well, will you come down to a farm over there, and back me up in everything that I do? 20400 What do you mean?" |
20400 | What do you want? |
20400 | What is it, Tiger? |
20400 | What proof have you that it is not all a plant on the part of your friend, Mr Intelligence? 20400 Where have you come from?" |
20400 | Where is headquarters? |
20400 | Where is your man? 20400 Where the devil are you galloping to? |
20400 | Where''s a map? |
20400 | Which is the brigadier? |
20400 | Which means----? |
20400 | Who are these? |
20400 | Who is it? |
20400 | Who is the commandant? |
20400 | Who the h-- ll are these fellows?--are they tame Boers? |
20400 | Whose column? |
20400 | Will you canter up and mark out a camp? 20400 [ 7]"And your sons?" |
20400 | ''What commando is this?--is it Judge Hertzog''s?'' |
20400 | ''Will you give me your hand on that, colonel?'' |
20400 | ( furiously)_"You d----d young cub!--is this the way you treat your seniors? |
20400 | (_ Intelligence Officer and the Tiger canter on._)_ Tiger._"Please, sir, did he say that the De Aar column was in?" |
20400 | (_ Roughly_) Now, throw it out,--what happened?" |
20400 | (_ The Intelligence officer nodded assent._) Then why do you detain our only chance? |
20400 | *****"Please, sir, can I speak to you a moment?" |
20400 | Also of what value are the British soldiers? |
20400 | Am I not of an age to formulate opinions of my own? |
20400 | And who can blame him? |
20400 | And why is this? |
20400 | Are you astonished that I should have mistaken your attitude towards us? |
20400 | Are you sure that he was leading you wrongly?" |
20400 | Are you with the main column?" |
20400 | As to my object in coming here, surely your Africander spy has informed you?" |
20400 | But can we ask the general to dinner?" |
20400 | But how does it affect the orders you issued last night?" |
20400 | But is there no other way by which the enemy can get to the Riet: by swinging round between Fauresmith and Jagersfontein, for instance?" |
20400 | But may not he have been told to tip us this yarn on purpose? |
20400 | But may we not be in the right position to- night? |
20400 | But what are you going to do with it? |
20400 | But where will you be?" |
20400 | But who may you be?" |
20400 | But with what object?" |
20400 | But you will say, How, if this is really the case, was it to be avoided? |
20400 | By the way, has the rest of the New Cavalry Brigade come in here? |
20400 | C._"The devil you have!--but do you realise what it means when you mutiny on active service?" |
20400 | Can any enemy within a mile have failed to hear it? |
20400 | Did I ever tell you about the Boer spies? |
20400 | Did you give him a guide, Mr Intelligence?" |
20400 | Did you hear that boy give an order? |
20400 | Did you kill him?" |
20400 | Do n''t you know that you should n''t approach mounted troops at that pace?" |
20400 | Do they often treat you to these protests?" |
20400 | Do you go straight in up to the elbows, or do you play about in kid gloves?" |
20400 | Do you know anything about staff work?" |
20400 | Do you know this country?" |
20400 | Five thousand!--did you count them, sergeant?" |
20400 | For what reason had he sent him? |
20400 | Hand her over to the supply officer,--he''s acting provost- marshal, is he not? |
20400 | Have you any other information confirming this theory?" |
20400 | Have you been into Strydenburg? |
20400 | Have you got a match?" |
20400 | Have you got any boys? |
20400 | Have you got your rifle loaded?" |
20400 | Have you had anything to eat? |
20400 | Have you told your men to rally on that farm?" |
20400 | He never looked up from the paper on which he was writing as he opened the following conversation--_ Pale Youth._"What can I do for you?" |
20400 | Here, signaller!--where is the brigade signaller?" |
20400 | Here, who is commanding the advance- guard? |
20400 | Here, you(_ and he beckoned a colonel in palpably just- out- from- England kit, who was standing by_); what are you doing here? |
20400 | His answer was characteristic:''Say, colonel, what do you want us for? |
20400 | How could I?" |
20400 | How could he be? |
20400 | How could he? |
20400 | How could it be otherwise? |
20400 | How far back is your general?" |
20400 | How many boys have you on this farm?" |
20400 | How many men had Mr Crauford with him?" |
20400 | How much separated these two men in age? |
20400 | I do n''t see why-- but what do you want----?" |
20400 | I have----"_ B._"My dear colonel, have some tea; or perhaps you would prefer some whisky- and- sparklet? |
20400 | If bricks have to be made, has not the workman a right to expect to be supplied with the ingredients? |
20400 | If the country''s honour lay in my groom''s hands, how much more must it lie in mine-- the employer of labour? |
20400 | If the other column should not be in position?" |
20400 | Is it for a straight scrapping with Boers, or is it to meander about as a town garrison?'' |
20400 | Is it surprising that I regarded you as their accomplice in rebellion?" |
20400 | Is not centralisation the cause of it all? |
20400 | Is that a flag?" |
20400 | It is this that has made you so beloved in the Republics; but how does your attitude hold good with me? |
20400 | J._"For how much?" |
20400 | Let me see; you have a brigade- major?" |
20400 | Madam, had you not better withdraw?" |
20400 | May I see him?" |
20400 | Now, what is his information?" |
20400 | O._"But your children have seen Burgher generals?" |
20400 | O._"Did you see all the Boers pass?" |
20400 | O._"How did you come by this?" |
20400 | O._"How do I know that you are not still playing a part?" |
20400 | O._"How many Boers would you say went by?" |
20400 | O._"How many men had he with him?" |
20400 | O._"How, if your object was to save your father, did it happen that Lotter was informed of our presence at Richmond Road?" |
20400 | O._"I mean, what is your job?" |
20400 | O._"In that farm? |
20400 | O._"Then what are you doing out here now?" |
20400 | O._"Then whatever made you come out in the ranks?" |
20400 | O._"Were they going fast?" |
20400 | O._"What do you belong to?" |
20400 | O._"What is in there?" |
20400 | O._"When did he leave?" |
20400 | O._"Where are the others? |
20400 | O._"Which way did he go?" |
20400 | O._"Who are the people in this house? |
20400 | O._"Who is Fischer?" |
20400 | O._"Why the devil did n''t you shoot them?" |
20400 | O._"You can find your way there in the dark?" |
20400 | O._(_ brutally_)"And did you? |
20400 | Repeat to,"& c._ Brigadier._"What do you think of that?" |
20400 | See that depot over there? |
20400 | Tell me who is in Britstown?" |
20400 | That is true, but how was it to be prevented?--where can you draw the line between legitimate requisition in war and brutal plunder? |
20400 | The Mount Nelson Light Horse-- they are marching from Hanover Road?" |
20400 | Then this being given, why not deal leniently with such men as have served you well, and who may be trusted to profit by experience dearly purchased? |
20400 | Then turning to the chief of the staff,"Have you got a match? |
20400 | There; is not that an admission worthy of a loyal Africander?" |
20400 | This is not the only road in the whole bally country, I presume?" |
20400 | Two men, who kept on shouting orders to the passing Boers, were sitting in the back of it----"_ Intelligence Officer._"What were they like?" |
20400 | Well, what the deuce is he worth to you after that, either as a framer of fact or flinger of fiction? |
20400 | Were you out here, sir, during the Black Week-- the Colenso- Magersfontein period? |
20400 | What about your details?" |
20400 | What can I do for you?" |
20400 | What can I do for you?" |
20400 | What can that boy know about it? |
20400 | What chance had the horses which had been overridden and under- fed for the last twelve days? |
20400 | What chance of success lies with the officer content to passively hug ox- waggons instead of pressing on against his mobile foe? |
20400 | What columns are in Hopetown?" |
20400 | What did Nelson do at the battle of Copenhagen? |
20400 | What do you belong to?" |
20400 | What do you do at home?" |
20400 | What do you think? |
20400 | What does it all mean? |
20400 | What have they got to say?" |
20400 | What have your prisoners got to say, Mr Intelligence?" |
20400 | What is it?" |
20400 | What is our private information?" |
20400 | What is the full limit at which you may requisition a spring cart?" |
20400 | What is your name?" |
20400 | What kind of a man are you? |
20400 | What right, therefore, have you to catechise me as to my goings and comings? |
20400 | What was it worth? |
20400 | What would the bright little maid who brings in the tea in the morning say, if she could see us now? |
20400 | What would you think if you could catch a glimpse of us? |
20400 | What''s the force?" |
20400 | What''s the good of lying? |
20400 | Where are the rest of you, then?" |
20400 | Where are the telegrams? |
20400 | Where are the''Number Threes''?" |
20400 | Where are we to go?" |
20400 | Where are you going now?" |
20400 | Where is your father? |
20400 | Where is your manhood, where the courtly bearing of the Englishman, of which I have heard so much-- and seen so little?" |
20400 | Who are you?" |
20400 | Who commands you?" |
20400 | Who has attempted to follow the train of thought which has been uppermost in the native mind? |
20400 | Who is it from?" |
20400 | Who may you be? |
20400 | Who shall blend the two? |
20400 | Who told you to come in here? |
20400 | Who, if they had not known, would have said that the beautiful panorama, which the morning sun now unveiled before us, was a theatre of war? |
20400 | Whose column is that?" |
20400 | Why do you wish to see him?" |
20400 | Why should men fight in a land such as this? |
20400 | Why?" |
20400 | Will you have some coffee?" |
20400 | Wo n''t you stay for your drink?" |
20400 | Yes, they had both; they would only be too glad-- would not the general take food with them?" |
20400 | You are senior captain in your corps, are you not?" |
20400 | You only slip into it worse every time; now, then, to the columns?" |
20400 | You see the parallelogram? |
20400 | Your dream and rest is over; for are you not the general''s flunkey? |
20400 | [ 28]"Are you aware, old boy, that we do n''t get any grub to- night?" |
20400 | _ B.-M._"And what do you intend doing yourself, sir?" |
20400 | _ B.-M._"But if I find that he has crossed the river? |
20400 | _ B.-M._"What escort shall I give it?" |
20400 | _ B._"And what are four columns doing halted here in this_ dorp_? |
20400 | _ B._"Are the wounded talkative?" |
20400 | _ B._"Do you know your Shakespeare?" |
20400 | _ B._"Good; and what is the latest news about De Wet?" |
20400 | _ B._"Have you any one who knows the way?" |
20400 | _ B._"How many dismounted men are there? |
20400 | _ B._"I forget how you came by this information?" |
20400 | _ B._"Intervening country?" |
20400 | _ B._"Sanguinary, my boy; well, are you the last survivor? |
20400 | _ B._"True for you; what''s the odds?" |
20400 | _ B._"Wait-- how did you get away from the general battue?" |
20400 | _ B._"Well, what has he got to say?" |
20400 | _ B._"What happened?" |
20400 | _ B._"What would you think is the value of this one?" |
20400 | _ B._"When is our convoy due at Strydenburg?" |
20400 | _ B._"Who are on him?" |
20400 | _ B._"Will old Stick- in- the- mud have got that, too?" |
20400 | _ Brigadier._"And your guide?" |
20400 | _ Brigadier._"Any Boer wounded?" |
20400 | _ Brigadier._"How far is the flat kopje from us?" |
20400 | _ Brigadier._"Was there ever a worse atrocity perpetrated than this? |
20400 | _ Brigadier._"Well, have you been fighting-- where''s your crush?" |
20400 | _ Brigadier._"What do you make of it?" |
20400 | _ Brigadier_(_ commencing to divest himself of his wet clothes in front of the fire and pointing to the turkey_),"Honestly come by?" |
20400 | _ Chief._"Where have you come from?" |
20400 | _ Colonial Colonel._"What does this mean, men?" |
20400 | _ D._"Where will you want him to take you? |
20400 | _ D._"Who can say? |
20400 | _ D._(_ the tears drying_)"And you promise me that you will not harm him?" |
20400 | _ F._"Are you a general, mister?" |
20400 | _ F._"Can I see the general, Mister Secretary?" |
20400 | _ G._"When do you meet your convoy, and how far behind you are your details?" |
20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Do you know where the camp is?" |
20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Is this road clear into the_ dorp_? |
20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Miss Pretorius,--how did you get here?" |
20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Sjambok?" |
20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Who are you? |
20400 | _ Intelligence Officer._"Who is Stephanus?" |
20400 | _ Miss P._"And may I also ask something,--What authority have you to put me such a question? |
20400 | _ Miss P._"Did I? |
20400 | _ Miss P._(_ suddenly paling, and losing for the moment her self- control_)"The worst!--surely you have not burned our farm? |
20400 | _ Oom Jan._"But the commandant wo n''t take my cart?" |
20400 | _ Staff Officer._"Certainly, sir; but what do you belong to? |
20400 | _ Staff Officer._"What column is this?" |
20400 | _ Sub._"Have you been here before?" |
20400 | _ Sub._"Have your boys?" |
20400 | _ Sub._"Which way?--how many were there?" |
20400 | _ Subaltern._"Why have n''t you given me a guide?" |
20400 | _ T._"So you have taken her out for a drive to- day?" |
20400 | _ T._"Then you have been driving another lady?" |
20400 | _ T._"What have you got those two cushions on the seat for? |
20400 | _ T._"Where have you come from?" |
20400 | _ T._"Where is that?" |
20400 | _ T._(_ who was now close up to the cart and busy in examination of it_)"What have you been doing in Britstown, and how long have you been there?" |
20400 | _ Weeping Bride._"If you take him, how shall I ever know what you will do with him? |
20400 | and where the devil have you come from?" |
20400 | have you seen any of the staff of the other column?" |
20400 | muttered the Rimington captain, and as the truth flashed upon him came the challenge in Dutch--"_ Wie dar?_""Follow me, Rimington''s!" |
20400 | said the brigadier when the Intelligence officer reported himself,"what has all the shooting been about?" |
20400 | what is that?" |
20400 | where are your horses?" |
20400 | where''s your rifle?" |
20400 | who goes there?" |
12877 | ;You''re my Baby"; and the ungrammatical"Who Were You With Last Night?" |
12877 | A clock? 12877 All present?" |
12877 | And it''s to be the day after to- morrow? |
12877 | And what do you think of that? |
12877 | And your people at home,he said,"you think they are taking the War seriously?" |
12877 | Any casualties? |
12877 | Any casualties? |
12877 | Any news, Colonel? |
12877 | Are the first details ready to begin? |
12877 | Are you a professional? |
12877 | Are you rotting us? |
12877 | Are you sure? |
12877 | Back already? |
12877 | Badly? |
12877 | Been a long time finding out, has n''t he? |
12877 | Beg pardon, sir, where shall_ I_ go now? |
12877 | But we are wandering from the subject, which is: what advantages are we, personally, deriving from the war? 12877 But what,"inquired that earnest seeker after knowledge, Mr. Waddell,"is the general attitude of the country at large upon this grave question?" |
12877 | But who_ is_ he? |
12877 | But you feel capable of taking on the job? |
12877 | By the way, had any more trouble with Minnie? |
12877 | Ca n''t_ we_ do anything? |
12877 | Carfrae? |
12877 | Combine? |
12877 | Comment? |
12877 | Corporal Mather, why did n''t you mention this? |
12877 | Cross- roads-- eh? 12877 Did she do much damage?" |
12877 | Did they loose it off last night? |
12877 | Did they? |
12877 | Did your respirator work? |
12877 | Do you know what a chiropodist is? |
12877 | Does he? |
12877 | Does one wear a sword on parade? |
12877 | Eyesight wrong? |
12877 | Flies? |
12877 | For better or worse? |
12877 | Four of us went out patrolling in front of the trench--"Who? |
12877 | Got the bearings? |
12877 | Got the biscuits here, Sergeant- Major? |
12877 | Guilty-- eh? 12877 Had you any excitement, Ayling?" |
12877 | Have we finished that new trench in front of our wire? |
12877 | Have we got any tame chiropodists in the company, Rae? |
12877 | Have you been here long? |
12877 | Have you had much experience? |
12877 | Have you located her? |
12877 | Hey, Jock,inquired a husky voice,"is that you?" |
12877 | Honkle yang- yang? |
12877 | Hoo''s a''wi''you, Jock? |
12877 | How are the Company doing generally, Sergeant- Major? |
12877 | How are things on the left, sir? |
12877 | How did you enjoy yourself passing Fosse Eight? |
12877 | How did your fellows get on last night, Wagstaffe? |
12877 | How do you mean? |
12877 | How long have they been-- here? |
12877 | How many, Bobby? |
12877 | How would you indicate the position of the place? |
12877 | How? |
12877 | How? |
12877 | I expect they''ll have lots of transport there about ration- time-- eh? |
12877 | I''m so sorry to bother you, but could you make inquiries and ascertain when the marker on Number Seven is likely to come out of the chloroform? |
12877 | In private life I am a beak at a public school--"What school? |
12877 | In what way, sir? |
12877 | Is this true? |
12877 | Jock,he inquired wistfully,"hae ye gotten a fag?" |
12877 | Lance- Corporal Ness, how would you describe it? |
12877 | Lance- Corporal Ness, what did you notice in the foreground of the picture? |
12877 | Look here, my man,said Ayling,"do you, or do you not, know where you are?" |
12877 | M''sieu le Caporal désire? |
12877 | May I suggest an explanation? |
12877 | More wounded, or are we being photographed? |
12877 | Now,he begins,"what conspicuous objects do we notice on this target? |
12877 | Prisoners? 12877 Private M''Micking, what is a scout?" |
12877 | Private McNulty? |
12877 | Private Mucklewame? |
12877 | Private Wemyss? |
12877 | Sirr? |
12877 | Sirr? |
12877 | Smokes? 12877 Some Staff-- what?" |
12877 | Tell me what? |
12877 | That old fire- eater? 12877 That you, Wagstaffe? |
12877 | That you, Wagstaffe? |
12877 | That you, Wagstaffe? |
12877 | The trenches, or the middle of the redoubt? |
12877 | This true? |
12877 | Walk? 12877 Well"--Captain Blaikie began to fill his pipe--"who takes about nine- tenths of the risk, and does practically all the hard work in the Army? |
12877 | Well? |
12877 | Were they badly hit? |
12877 | Wha goes there? |
12877 | What about our chipping in with a one- fifty- five turn-- half a dozen H E shells into Minnie''s dressing- room-- eh? 12877 What about revolvers?" |
12877 | What are we going to do to- night, sir? |
12877 | What are you doing? |
12877 | What did you do? |
12877 | What did you do? |
12877 | What did you do? |
12877 | What did you do? |
12877 | What do the other side say? |
12877 | What do you do when you are leading a party along a road and meet a Staff Officer? |
12877 | What does a Tommy do,he inquired,"if he meets an officer wheeling a wheelbarrow?" |
12877 | What does it look like? 12877 What for is the wee felly gaun''tae show us puctures?" |
12877 | What have you got out of the war, Ayling? |
12877 | What have you to say, Private Dunshie? |
12877 | What in thunder will they ask for next? |
12877 | What is he to do? 12877 What is it for, then?" |
12877 | What is it this time? |
12877 | What is that? |
12877 | What is the general attitude,asked Mr. Waddell,"towards the war?" |
12877 | What is the new trench for, exactly? |
12877 | What is this man''s crime, Sergeant- Major? |
12877 | What kin''o''a thing is a Review? |
12877 | What message can I deliver to him? |
12877 | What sort of message? |
12877 | What trenches wass you seeking? |
12877 | What was that last movement? |
12877 | What went wrong, Sergeant? |
12877 | What were your sensations,_ exactly_? |
12877 | What''s the trouble now? |
12877 | What''s the trouble? |
12877 | Whaur''s ma drawer? |
12877 | Where do we get the earth to fill the sandbags? |
12877 | Where''s that? |
12877 | Where? |
12877 | Who are these assassins-- these imbeciles-- these_ crétins_,inquired Petitpois,"who would endanger the ship of the State?" |
12877 | Who is Charlie Chaplin? |
12877 | Who is it? |
12877 | Who is wheeling the barrow,inquired the meticulous Struthers--"the officer or the Tommy?" |
12877 | Why ca n''t they let well alone? |
12877 | Why did n''t you lodge a complaint? |
12877 | Why in thunder ca n''t you keep your filthy tea- kettle in its own place, instead of bringing it here to draw fire? |
12877 | Why not? |
12877 | Why should the idiots put one''s religion on the thing? |
12877 | Why? |
12877 | Will you follow me, please? 12877 Will you listen to me?" |
12877 | Will you send us down all the bombs you can spare? |
12877 | Wull we be gettin''hame to our dinners now? |
12877 | Wull ye give a body yin? |
12877 | Yes, but suppose some one salutes_ you_? |
12877 | Yon man, oot there on the left,shouts the instructor,"what''s your number?" |
12877 | You doing it too? |
12877 | You just make a hobby of it? |
12877 | You remember it on the map? |
12877 | You saw the men throwing biscuits at the prisoner? |
12877 | You say there is cover to within twenty yards of where he is sitting? |
12877 | You say you found a cord running back from Bain to the trenches, M''Snape,asked Captain Mackintosh,"and a sentry holding on to it?" |
12877 | Yous, what''s your number? |
12877 | ''You all right, Wagstaffe?" |
12877 | --And when they came into power, they knew as well as anything that after three weeks or so the country would begin to grouse--""Grouse? |
12877 | A sporting bird?" |
12877 | A truly peaceful atmosphere-- what? |
12877 | After the corroborative evidence, the Captain asks his usual question of the prisoner--"Anything to say?" |
12877 | Again, where should one sit at meal- times? |
12877 | All done by simple ledger- de- mang? |
12877 | Also your toothbrush, and-- excuse the question, but do you shave?" |
12877 | And how is this to be done? |
12877 | Any casualties?" |
12877 | Any complaints?" |
12877 | Anything else?" |
12877 | Are there no boots in the quartermaster''s store? |
12877 | Are we entitled to clamour in this peremptory fashion too? |
12877 | Are we fed up? |
12877 | Are you there, Whitson?" |
12877 | Been in the army before, have n''t you?" |
12877 | Borrodaile, what about you? |
12877 | Brought your machine- gun officer?" |
12877 | Buck up with the next lot, will you? |
12877 | But do n''t you think you ought to keep some of your company in rear, as a supporting line? |
12877 | But how can you insert yourself between two armies when you are faced by only one army-- an army stretching from Ostend to the Alps? |
12877 | But how can you outflank a foe who has no flanks? |
12877 | But stay, what is this disturbance on the extreme left? |
12877 | But what is that sudden disturbance in the front- line trench? |
12877 | But what will that profit us? |
12877 | But-- what is that light haze hanging over the enemy''s trenches? |
12877 | But--""Do you understand my order?" |
12877 | By the way,_ was_ it yesterday?" |
12877 | C. OF E.]"What is this for?" |
12877 | Can it be--? |
12877 | Can you empty a cottage by firing a single rifle- shot in at the door? |
12877 | Can you exterminate twenty Germans in a fortified back- parlour by a single thrust with a bayonet? |
12877 | Compree?" |
12877 | Did you get much machine- gun practice?" |
12877 | Do you known how much personal baggage an officer is allowed, in addition to what he carries himself?" |
12877 | Do you mass half a million men at a chosen point in the enemy''s line? |
12877 | Do you observe that young officer sitting on a ration- box at his dug- out door, with his head tied up in a bandage? |
12877 | Do you understand?" |
12877 | For glory_? |
12877 | Got that? |
12877 | Got that?" |
12877 | Got your working parties fixed up? |
12877 | Hae ony o''you billies gotten a fag?" |
12877 | Has any one ever done that at Buckingham Palace? |
12877 | Have a bit of chocolate? |
12877 | Have you seen Our Active Service Trouser- Press? |
12877 | How are things going on our right?" |
12877 | How are we to get home? |
12877 | How can you lay an ambush for the modern Intelligence Department, with its aeroplane reconnaissance and telephonic nervous system? |
12877 | How did you persuade''em, Bobby?" |
12877 | How many officers take the trouble to examine the stamp on their parcels? |
12877 | How often does the guard at Buckingham Palace fix bayonets? |
12877 | How would that church be marked on a map?" |
12877 | I say, are you_ there_? |
12877 | If you may not cut or slash a biscuit, what_ are_ you to do with it? |
12877 | If you start arguing now about small things, where will you be when the big orders come along-- eh? |
12877 | Is it possible? |
12877 | Is this the Big Push at last? |
12877 | It might be a Headquarters? |
12877 | Meanwhile Private Cosh, the linguist of the platoon, proffers twopence, and says:"Doolay-- ye unnerstand?" |
12877 | Next?" |
12877 | Nine o''clock, you say?" |
12877 | Now, what about breakfast?" |
12877 | Now, what about getting home? |
12877 | Now-- why?" |
12877 | Or should we creep round behind the screen and take what we can get? |
12877 | Or should we sit still, and wait till we are served? |
12877 | Private Mucklewame?" |
12877 | Private Wemyss?" |
12877 | See the idea?" |
12877 | See? |
12877 | See?" |
12877 | See?" |
12877 | Shall I carry on with the unloading? |
12877 | So what did they do? |
12877 | Some carpenter-- what? |
12877 | Suddenly a strangled voice was uplifted--"In God''s name, what for can they no come tae_ us_? |
12877 | Supposing I had sent one of you forward into that landscape as a scout.--By the way, what is a scout?" |
12877 | Swallow it whole? |
12877 | Talking of time, what about breakfast? |
12877 | Telephone orderly, there?" |
12877 | That it?" |
12877 | The grouse?" |
12877 | Then presently come snatches of a humorously amorous nature--"Hallo, Hallo, Who''s Your Lady Friend? |
12877 | Then, soothingly--"Now, Jimmy, tell the officer what would ye dae in case of fire?" |
12877 | They knew that the country would soon start giving them the bird--""What bird? |
12877 | Thompson?" |
12877 | VII SHOOTING STRAIGHT"What for is the wee felly gaun''tae show us puctures?" |
12877 | Waddell, if I give you a shilling, will you take it over to the German trenches and ask them to drop it into the meter?" |
12877 | Wagger, what are you getting out of it?" |
12877 | Want to go to the front, do n''t you?" |
12877 | We ask why? |
12877 | We, however, take the turning marked SHAFTESBURY AVENUE, and after passing( quite wrongly, do n''t you think?) |
12877 | What about you, Sketchley?" |
12877 | What could Napoleon himself have done under the circumstances? |
12877 | What did you do?" |
12877 | What did you have on Saturday?" |
12877 | What do you think of that?" |
12877 | What do you want?" |
12877 | What happened to''A,''Bobby? |
12877 | What has this church got?" |
12877 | What is he like, this impromptu Thomas Atkins? |
12877 | What is it?" |
12877 | What is your opinion?" |
12877 | What say?" |
12877 | What''s that, Sergeant?" |
12877 | What''s that?" |
12877 | When was our last meal, Bobby?" |
12877 | Where are the shells coming from?" |
12877 | Where is nine o''clock?" |
12877 | Where would twelve o''clock be?" |
12877 | Whereabouts in the line were you?" |
12877 | Who are you?" |
12877 | Who are"C,"to--? |
12877 | Who can see them?" |
12877 | Who is this anxious gentleman?" |
12877 | Why is he shot?" |
12877 | Why is it-- eh?" |
12877 | Why?" |
12877 | Will I warn one of them?" |
12877 | Will we open fire?" |
12877 | You arrived? |
12877 | You did it, then?" |
12877 | You remember that great man''s criticism of the Books of Euclid? |
12877 | You see the idea now?" |
12877 | You want to be the man who kept the rest from going to the front-- eh?" |
12877 | _ End of mansion- house_--_eight o''clock_--_two finger- breadths_--what does that give you, Lance- Corporal Ness?" |
12877 | _ End of mansion- house_--_eight o''clock_--got that?" |
12877 | _ Why? |
12877 | _ You''re there, and I''m here, so what do we care?_ in fact. |
12877 | exclaimed Bobby with a jerk( for he was beginning to nod),"what was that on our right?" |
41995 | And you intend to fight for the south, do you? |
41995 | Are the Yankees that near? |
41995 | Are there many cases to be disposed of? |
41995 | Are you up a tree? |
41995 | But what was our cavalry doing,I asked,"that they did n''t pursue and capture the villains?" |
41995 | But where were you going? |
41995 | But you have been constantly away, running around after the Indians,he continued;"how is it you wish to vote here?" |
41995 | Calvin Reeves? |
41995 | Can you not, then, give me something to eat? |
41995 | Did the Yanks ever find out that Terry had him captured? |
41995 | Did you see him, yourself? |
41995 | Do n''t know no more; does you know it all? 41995 Do you refuse to kiss the book?" |
41995 | Do you remember that Yankee''s name? |
41995 | Do you want to ship? |
41995 | Do you wish to see_ him_, sir? |
41995 | Good on your head,said the Lieutenant;"but, Captain, what in the world were you doing in the Yankee lines?" |
41995 | Gwine after the Comanches? |
41995 | Have you killed any of our dogs? |
41995 | Have you nothing to say? |
41995 | How came you to be there? 41995 How did he behave himself?" |
41995 | How do you want to vote? |
41995 | How far does Terry live from here? |
41995 | How far is it to de forks ob de road? 41995 How far is it, ole man, to de nex house? |
41995 | How is it that you want to vote here? |
41995 | How many are there of you? |
41995 | I say ole man, is ye gwine ter let me stay all nite? 41995 I say, ole man, whar doe dis road go to, rad di di da di di da da?" |
41995 | Injuns? |
41995 | Is not that a Yankee uniform you are wearing? |
41995 | Is that so? |
41995 | Let me see; did n''t he catch a Yank at his house about a year ago? |
41995 | Look here, old man,said I savagely,"if I let you live, do you think you will trouble Union men in this county again?" |
41995 | Madam, I am a stranger; how should I know which house you were in? |
41995 | Master,he said piteously,"you is n''t gwine to kill me, is ye?" |
41995 | Not at all, sir,was my answer,"an honest man is never afraid of being watched?" |
41995 | O you villain,she shouted;"Is that you? |
41995 | Por donde vamos? |
41995 | Que quiere alla? |
41995 | Say, young man,said the party,"do n''t you want to go to Texas?" |
41995 | Then, why did n''t you vote there? |
41995 | Then, you can tell me a good place to go and hide, ca n''t you? |
41995 | Tom Green; but, madam, what do you want? |
41995 | Was n''t his name Pike, instead of Spikes? |
41995 | Was there a man passed here about dark, afoot and dressed in Yankee uniform? |
41995 | We are all well, I believe,said the lieutenant, eyeing me closely;"what command do you belong to, sir?" |
41995 | We only guessed at it; but what is the news? |
41995 | Well, how is it,he asked,"that you are on foot?" |
41995 | Well, no,he said; then turning to a man at his side he asked:"Is Jim B---- in town?" |
41995 | Well, what do you want here, this time of night? |
41995 | Well, what were you doing in my house this time of night; why did n''t you come to the house we live in; what did you go there for? 41995 Well,"he continued,"if your command is there, what are you doing here by yourself?" |
41995 | What are you doing in my house at the dead hours of the night? |
41995 | What are you doing in our country? |
41995 | What captain? |
41995 | What did our men do with the Yank? |
41995 | What do you want me to do?'' |
41995 | What fellows? 41995 What is their nature generally?" |
41995 | What is your Captain''s name? |
41995 | What is your Captain''s name? |
41995 | What is your Colonel''s name? |
41995 | What is your name, and what are you doing here? |
41995 | What is your name, then? |
41995 | What is your regiment? |
41995 | What part of Texas were you from? |
41995 | What were you about to do to me? |
41995 | What were you going there for? |
41995 | What''s that? |
41995 | Where are you from? |
41995 | Where are you going now? |
41995 | Where are you going? |
41995 | Where do you live? |
41995 | Where do you live? |
41995 | Where is your command? |
41995 | Where is your horse? |
41995 | Where was that? |
41995 | Who are you? |
41995 | Who are you? |
41995 | Who did he say he was? |
41995 | Who is your friend? |
41995 | Whose company is this? |
41995 | Whose house were you left at? |
41995 | Why did not the officers make the fort stronger? |
41995 | Why do n''t yer put de roof on when it ai nt a rainen? 41995 Why do n''t you go over there to the camp, and get something to eat?'' |
41995 | Why do you wear it? |
41995 | Why you no shoot''um? |
41995 | Why, what in the name of God, does that mean? |
41995 | Why,I asked,"have you not seen him yet? |
41995 | Why,said she,"what do you want?" |
41995 | Wo n''t bring''em to trial? |
41995 | Yes, sir,I replied,"but I will call again; what time do you expect him back?" |
41995 | You lie, you son of a gun; did n''t I just send a man after you, to tell you to come down here? |
41995 | You live in Paris, Bourbon county, Kentucky? |
41995 | You say he went the''cut off?'' |
41995 | You think you will stick to your principles, when you get there? |
41995 | ai n''t you a preacher? |
41995 | ( where are you going?) |
41995 | ( where do you come from?) |
41995 | After I had made my report, the General turned to me and said:"How many rebels are there at Bridgeport?" |
41995 | After having mounted, I rode down to the bluff and called out:"Madam, my name is Pike; what will you have?" |
41995 | After he had left, an officer on the platform said:"Do you know who that man was?" |
41995 | And then amid the confusion resulting from it, would it not be possible to give a little attention to the powder mill, and blow it to fragments? |
41995 | As I reached our line again, I hailed a body of troops with:"What brigade is this?" |
41995 | As soon as this was done, the captain turned to me and said:"Young man, are you a ship carpenter?" |
41995 | But I had not proceeded more than a hundred yards before I was called back, and one of them said to me:"You say you are going home?" |
41995 | But do you want any money, or disguise?" |
41995 | But how? |
41995 | But why add more relative to the horrors of this filthy pen? |
41995 | But why enlarge upon facts patent to the world? |
41995 | But, massa, what might I call you?" |
41995 | Can you do anything to save it?" |
41995 | Captain, allow me to ask what you are doing so close to the Yankee pickets, and_ alone_?" |
41995 | Could I slip around and burn it? |
41995 | Do you see that?" |
41995 | Everybody and his son were after him, and why should n''t I go? |
41995 | For a moment the squaw hesitated, and then lowering the club said:"If your name ai n''t Pike, what is it?" |
41995 | He prefaced his remarks with the very pertinent question:"Is you from Texas?" |
41995 | He raised his eyes, and seeing only a strange officer and soldier at his side, opened them wide and replied:"La, massa, how did you know dat?" |
41995 | I demanded;"were you not in the act of shooting me?" |
41995 | I had certainly not been indiscreet? |
41995 | I well knew that at least a portion of our army was near them, or why the firing I had heard? |
41995 | I wonder how they would have liked their men traveled on empty stomachs? |
41995 | If the object was legitimate, it occurred to me, why this secrecy? |
41995 | My first exclamation was,"Well, boys, I am glad to see you; how do you all get along, and what is the news from the army?" |
41995 | One fellow, who was much closer to me than the others, bawled out at the top of his voice:"Who fired that shot?" |
41995 | Seeing this the Lieutenant inquired:"What do you say, boys, shall we fight with them?" |
41995 | She was eyeing me curiously now, and presently she asked:"Stranger; what is your name?" |
41995 | Such were his meditations that he did not notice us till we addressed him:"Uncle,"I asked, after saying how dee? |
41995 | Then turning to me, she said:"Stranger, what is your name?" |
41995 | They eyed me several times exceedingly closely; and I asked myself: could there be any suspicion against me? |
41995 | This party hallooed and Mrs. White asked:"Who''s there?" |
41995 | This satisfied him, and he went into his tent; but an idle soldier bawled out:"Say, thar; what are you doin''in a Yankee uniform?" |
41995 | Tindsley?" |
41995 | Turning to one of the guard, I said:"Guard, will you untie my feet till I get through this place?" |
41995 | Was I bewitched? |
41995 | We put out guards; but what did they care, now that they had plenty of meat, and palatable water? |
41995 | We started immediately for the town of Auburn, where the mill was located; when the Doctor looked anxiously around, and asked:"Where are your men?" |
41995 | What now, I wondered; was there some scheme on foot against me? |
41995 | What_ did_ bring you so close to the camp? |
41995 | Where do such traditions originate? |
41995 | Where do you want to go?" |
41995 | Where is the sergeant of the guard?" |
41995 | Who are they?" |
41995 | Why are you not with your command?" |
41995 | Without giving me time to answer, one of the armed men came up and addressed me with,"You was afraid to vote there, was you?" |
41995 | Wood, you know, is a perfect dare- devil, and what do you think he proposes to do? |
41995 | said the old woman;"Virginny, do you hear?" |
41995 | she asked;"have n''t they got plenty over there?" |
41995 | then what could that hurried manner, and those sidelong glances portend? |
41995 | this is that Yankee, is it?" |
41995 | what else did they desire? |
31086 | All full? |
31086 | And for the love of heavin, what would he be after doin''wid it? 31086 Any passengers?" |
31086 | Are any cattle kept in here? |
31086 | Are the Americans careful and cautious? 31086 Are you feeling my pulse?" |
31086 | Are you hit badly? |
31086 | Are you ready to take it? |
31086 | Are you wounded? |
31086 | But it is already on the way, and----"How do you go to the wood merchant? |
31086 | But suppose we breathe it first? |
31086 | Ca n''t you see it''s mules? |
31086 | Came back pretty quick, do n''t you think so, Major? |
31086 | Comment, monsieur? |
31086 | Counter attack, hey? 31086 Did she carry cargo?" |
31086 | Did that look all right? |
31086 | Do I walk all right? |
31086 | Do n''t move, you damn fool, you want to kill both of us? |
31086 | Do they shoot and signal on every occasion? 31086 Do you know whether they were gas or duds?" |
31086 | Do you mind your map of the Somme? 31086 Do you two think you are taking moon baths on the Riviera?" |
31086 | Do you want to know the most popular publication around this place? |
31086 | Else how could them German aviators have known that Battery A was on the road last night? 31086 Experience? |
31086 | For Germain? |
31086 | For the luva Mike, Tim,shouted an ambulance man,"do you call that a prisoner?" |
31086 | Frank,I asked,"what do you think about the President of the United States?" |
31086 | Have n''t you heard the orders against running your horses? 31086 Have n''t you seen everybody sitting along the roadside reading theirs and trying to keep up with things? |
31086 | He wants to borrow one of me boots? |
31086 | How are we to know if we are breathing gas or not? |
31086 | How are you lying, on your face or on your back? |
31086 | How can I take a full breath when you''ve got my lungs strapped down? |
31086 | How did that look? |
31086 | How did you get it? |
31086 | How did you happen to find the machine gun? |
31086 | How do you figure that, Corporal? |
31086 | How does that look? |
31086 | How the hell can you be all right if you are hit in the head? 31086 How''s it coming, old man?" |
31086 | I guess there''s some sense in that, too,replied Shoemaker;"would n''t that been hell if I''d been on the other side in this war? |
31086 | Is that that gun from Russia we heard about? |
31086 | Is there a sailor or a seaman on board? |
31086 | Is there a ship''s officer in this boat? |
31086 | Iss der Captain in dot boat? |
31086 | Looka here, boy,he enquired good- naturedly,"what can you all tell me about this here wah?" |
31086 | Looks all right to me,replied Bailey;"what''s the matter with you?" |
31086 | No, are you? |
31086 | Nor the footstools? |
31086 | Not bad, eh? |
31086 | Now, you are absolutely sure I am YOUR officer? |
31086 | Now, you just forget it and take deep breaths, and say, Charlie, did you see that case over in Ward 62? 31086 One Tommy says to one of my prisoners:''Kaiser no good-- pas bon, ai n''t it?'' |
31086 | Red Shannahan, are you there? |
31086 | Red Shannahan, what work did you do before you became a United States soldier? |
31086 | Rolled who off of it? |
31086 | See that clump of trees way out there? |
31086 | Sergeant, where is your helmet? |
31086 | Storm troop? |
31086 | Take it easy,would come a voice through pain- pressed lips;"for Christ''s sake, do you think you are driving a truck?" |
31086 | That''s Kid Ferguson, the pug,English whispered to me, and then in louder tones, he enquired,"What''s eating on you, kid?" |
31086 | Then when will we know it is time to adjust our masks? |
31086 | They''re coming damn close,he said;"how is it with you? |
31086 | Trying to get the boys coming back, hey? |
31086 | Vot did she weigh? |
31086 | Vot ship vass dot? |
31086 | Vot? |
31086 | Well, how''s that? |
31086 | Well,the Major said,"is this the way you let us walk up on you? |
31086 | What about your men''s shoes? |
31086 | What are you doing here? |
31086 | What are you doing way over here in France? 31086 What do you hear out of the air?" |
31086 | What do you know about artillery? |
31086 | What do you think are our chances of being torpedoed? |
31086 | What do you think of the fighting capacity of the American soldier? |
31086 | What does a pack of cards indicate? |
31086 | What furniture? |
31086 | What is it? |
31086 | What is''so far so good''? |
31086 | What paper do you represent? |
31086 | What stuff? |
31086 | What the hell is it to you? |
31086 | What time is it, will you tell me? |
31086 | What were they doing all that time? |
31086 | What''s her address? |
31086 | What''s that there? |
31086 | What''s that? |
31086 | What''s the countersign? |
31086 | What''s what? |
31086 | Where are you hit? |
31086 | Where did you get your two wounds? |
31086 | Where do you suppose we are going anyway? |
31086 | Where does the Town Major eat? |
31086 | Where is that report from? |
31086 | Where is the telephone dugout? |
31086 | Where was the wood bought? |
31086 | Which direction are they in? |
31086 | Which way shall we crawl? |
31086 | Which woods? |
31086 | Who got it? |
31086 | Who is it addressed to? |
31086 | Who was it? |
31086 | Who''s got a knife? 31086 Who''s the officer in that boat?" |
31086 | Why did n''t you write this in English? |
31086 | Why do n''t you go up and ask the Captain? |
31086 | Why in hell do n''t they come back at us? |
31086 | Why turn him in as a prisoner? 31086 Why, that?" |
31086 | Why? |
31086 | Will somebody brain that skunk with a pin? |
31086 | Will you translate it for me? |
31086 | Wounded? |
31086 | Yes, what time is it? |
31086 | You''re pretty cute, old timer, are n''t you? |
31086 | _ Avez- vous de bois?_asked the Captain. |
31086 | _ Avez- vous de chevaux?_the Captain asked. |
31086 | _ Avez- vous de voiture?_the Captain asked. |
31086 | 139-"aves- vous"to"avez- vous"( 3)( Aves- vous de chevaux?) |
31086 | Ambush tactics and cunning? |
31086 | And have you ever experienced the slight sideward shove when the boat rubs against the piling and comes to a stop? |
31086 | Another one similarly burdened passed and, in a most serious tone, inquired:"Say, would either of you fellows like to buy another blanket roll?" |
31086 | Are they noisy? |
31086 | Are you bleeding much?" |
31086 | Are you losing much blood?" |
31086 | Are you on my left, or on my right?" |
31086 | Are you ready to obey his orders?" |
31086 | Behaviour on post during day and night? |
31086 | But he replied:"Oh, you would, would you?" |
31086 | CHAPTER XVI WOUNDED-- HOW IT FEELS TO BE SHOT Just how does it feel to be shot on the field of battle? |
31086 | Can you hear''em?" |
31086 | DO YOU WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?" |
31086 | Did n''t he go to heaven in a fiery chariot, or fly up on golden wings or something like that? |
31086 | Did the first torpedo put the wireless out of commission? |
31086 | Did you come by the Lincoln trench?" |
31086 | Did you ever hear of"Swansant, Kansas"? |
31086 | Do the posts hold their ground on the approach of a patrol, or do they fall back? |
31086 | Do you think you can stick it out?" |
31086 | Further advanced reconnoitring patrols? |
31086 | Had our rockets been seen? |
31086 | Happy little devils, are n''t they? |
31086 | Has something gone wrong at the last minute? |
31086 | Has the enemy happened to become aware of the plans? |
31086 | Have I not this morning early seen with my own eyes the wood ordered?" |
31086 | Have our men been deprived of the needed element of surprise? |
31086 | Have you ever heard a team of horses and a farm wagon thumping and rumbling over such a bridge on the trot? |
31086 | Have you ever stood on the deck of a ferry boat as it arrived in the slip? |
31086 | Have you seen them?" |
31086 | He noticed my silence and he said,"Gib, do you remember that game with the Indians on Thanksgiving Day?" |
31086 | He returned to a consideration of me with the following remark:"All right, he''s under now; where''s the next one?" |
31086 | He stood at respectful attention, saluted and said:"Did the Captain wish to see me?" |
31086 | Holding one hand to his lips, he seriously enquired:"Say, do they let the enlisted men in the saloons here?" |
31086 | Home in the field is where a soldier sleeps and after all, why not have it as comfortable as his surroundings will afford? |
31086 | How about the arm? |
31086 | How about the other eye? |
31086 | How do I know this secret, Monsieur the wood merchant? |
31086 | How do you know?" |
31086 | How do you want me to drive?" |
31086 | How much rougher seas could the boat weather? |
31086 | How was I to find out if I was dead? |
31086 | I heard later that at that stage some one said:''Major Sibley ordered that--''and another man said:''Where in hell is Sibley?'' |
31086 | I heard some one stop beside my stretcher and bend over me, while a kindly voice said:"Would you like a cigarette, old man?" |
31086 | I recall feeling the urge to say something at least original, so I enquired:"What place is this, and will you please tell me what day and time it is?" |
31086 | I recall now, with a smile, that the first things that passed through my mind were the threadbare bromides so often quoted"Where am I?" |
31086 | If it had been able to operate, had anybody heard our S. O. S.? |
31086 | If this is the fifth line, then that must be our fourth line in the village?'' |
31086 | Is there anything in it which the company has been ordered to omit mentioning?" |
31086 | It was of an American make and the best number on its printed programme was"Are n''t you Coming Back to Old Virginia, Molly?" |
31086 | It''s kinder funny to sit back here in quiet and listen in the war, is n''t it?" |
31086 | Just what is the exact sensation when a bullet burns its way through your flesh or crashes through your bones? |
31086 | Manner of challenging? |
31086 | Now he slapped me on the back with this question,"Well, old Casus Belli,"he said,"is this your blooming overt act?" |
31086 | Now how''s your watch? |
31086 | She laughed prettily as she caught his meaning almost immediately, and she replied:"Doughboy, ware do you get zat stuff?" |
31086 | Smell anything?" |
31086 | Some of these women shouted"Hello,""Heep, heep, hourrah,""Good morning,""How are you, keed?" |
31086 | The contents ran as follows:"Dear Sir: What are you doing for your country? |
31086 | The document directed that data on the following questions be obtained:"Are sentry posts sentry posts or stronger posts? |
31086 | The first recess in that note- taking came when I asked myself the following question:"Am I dead?" |
31086 | The most common enquiry was:"What''s the name of this place?" |
31086 | The numerous company and battery jesters did not refrain from imitative expressions of"Ahs"and"Ohs"and"Ai n''t it bootiful?" |
31086 | Then he glared at me and enquired,"Did you write this stuff?" |
31086 | Then the Tommy said:''Hindenburg dirty rotter, nacy pa?'' |
31086 | Upon meeting one another in the streets, our men would invariably ask:"Have you come across any of these FROGS that talk American?" |
31086 | Vigilance? |
31086 | Was the operation to be a serious one or a minor one? |
31086 | Was there enough food and drinking water in the boat to last? |
31086 | We followed the Major in time to hear his first remark:"Did n''t they get the rocking chairs out here yet?" |
31086 | What are you doing to help win the war? |
31086 | What do you say?" |
31086 | What dy''e s''pose it was? |
31086 | What is their behaviour during smoke screens?" |
31086 | What''ll we do?" |
31086 | What''s your aim in life-- hard labour in a German prison camp or a nice little wooden cross out here four thousand miles from Punkinville? |
31086 | When he answered I shouted back to him:"Are you hit?" |
31086 | Where do you get that experience talk?" |
31086 | Where will we go? |
31086 | Why ca n''t we keep him for the company mascot?" |
31086 | Why do n''t you challenge me?" |
31086 | Why was n''t there any sentry at that door?" |
31086 | Will you tell me your name?" |
31086 | Would I ever see again? |
31086 | Would there be an amputation? |
31086 | Would they have to operate on my skull? |
31086 | Would they have to remove my eye? |
31086 | Would you mind stepping to one side? |
31086 | You remember that great big dairy out on the edge of the town in El Paso? |
31086 | and"Is this France or England?" |
31086 | replied the American sergeant,"do you know what we are? |
7962 | ''Are you game for putting something over on the Boches, and Old Pepper all in one?'' 7962 Does the straw bother you, mate? |
7962 | I beg your pardon? |
7962 | Then he turned to me and shouted:''Wilson, what do you think of it? |
7962 | Think it''s going to rain, Sergeant? |
7962 | We saluted, and were just going out the door of the dugout when the Captain called us back, and said:''Smoke Goldflakes? |
7962 | A bullet did you say? |
7962 | A question,"Who goes there?" |
7962 | A soft chuckle from my mate brought me to my senses, and I feebly asked,"For God''s sake, what was that?" |
7962 | A sort of"Good morning, have you used Fears Soap?" |
7962 | Add to this the weight of his rations, and can you blame Tommy for growling at a twenty kilo route march? |
7962 | After listening to this tirade, Lloyd, in a faltering voice, asked:"They are not going to shoot me, are they? |
7962 | Are n''t you ashamed of yourself, a husky young chap like you in mufti when men are needed in the trenches? |
7962 | As our section passed her I yelled out:"Hello, Flossie, Blighty-- What Hopes?" |
7962 | But what was that mangled shape lying over there among the sandbags? |
7962 | But what was that on his right? |
7962 | But why was n''t I wet? |
7962 | CHAPTER XXVI ALL QUIET(?) |
7962 | Crossing the street, I accosted a Bobbie with:"Can you direct me to the place of damage?" |
7962 | Did you ever see the like of it in your life? |
7962 | Do n''t you know that your country is at war and that the place for every young Briton is on the firing line? |
7962 | Do you think I''m a''goin''to? |
7962 | He asked me,"What damage?" |
7962 | He asked me:"Did you ever hear of the Royal Fusiliers?" |
7962 | He looked at me in contempt, and grunted,"''Ow''s it a''goin''ter rain with the bloomin''sun a''shinin''?" |
7962 | He looked up and greeted me with"I s''y, myte, want to tyke on?" |
7962 | He said,"Oh yes, just outside of New York?" |
7962 | He winked at me and I winked back, and then he asked,"How do you feel, smashed up a bit?" |
7962 | I called to him,"Are you hurt badly, Jock?" |
7962 | I eagerly asked,"What are they?" |
7962 | I like a booby was crying, can you beat it? |
7962 | I ran smash into our wire, and a sharp challenge"''Alt, who comes there?" |
7962 | I turned to the man on my left and asked,''"What''s the noise, Bill?" |
7962 | If I do, will I skin through the following one, and so on? |
7962 | It is never"who is going to win"but always"how long will it take?" |
7962 | My thoughts generally ran in this channel: Will I emerge safely from the next attack? |
7962 | Next morning the telephone bell rang, and someone asked,"Are you there?" |
7962 | Of course, I did n''t, did I?'' |
7962 | Oh, why had n''t he attended the machine- gun course in England? |
7962 | Old Pepper must have heard the Sergeant speak because he turned in his direction and in a thundering voice asked:"What did you say?" |
7962 | One very nice- looking, over- enthusiastic young thing, stopped at my bed and asked,"What wounded you in the face?" |
7962 | Pretty soon from a far corner of the billet, three indignant Tommies accosted the Corporal with,"What do you call this, a loaf of bread? |
7962 | She put this information down in a little book and then asked:"Where do you come from?" |
7962 | The Captain dead? |
7962 | The doctor came over and exploded,"What do you mean by bringing in a man in this condition?" |
7962 | The girl on the seat turned around and in a sympathetic voice asked,"Poor fellow, are you very badly wounded?" |
7962 | The reply came back instantly from the dark forms:"Shut your blinkin''mouth, you bloomin''idiot; do you want us to click it from the Boches?" |
7962 | The sentry next to me challenged,"Halt, Who Comes There?" |
7962 | Then to rub it in, they hoisted some more signs which read,"When are you coming over?" |
7962 | Then, turning to me with a grim face, said:"How about it, Sergeant? |
7962 | They called themselves"The Bow Bells,"and put on a sketch entitled''Blighty-- What Hopes?'' |
7962 | Tommy''s French for"Do you understand?" |
7962 | Turning to me, in a loud voice, he asked,"Empey, are n''t you C. of E.?" |
7962 | Understand?" |
7962 | Understand?'' |
7962 | Well, I''ll be damned, where''s that blighter of a draft man gone to? |
7962 | Well, tell me, I have always wanted to know, did it hurt worse going in or coming out?" |
7962 | What were they waiting for? |
7962 | What''s the matter, are you asleep?'' |
7962 | What''s the matter, getting the nerves? |
7962 | What''s the use of having artillery if it is not allowed to fire? |
7962 | When a stretcher- bearer arrives alongside of a Tommy who has been hit, the following conversation usually takes place- Stretcher- bearer,"Want a fag? |
7962 | When his turn comes the paying- officer asks,"How much?" |
7962 | Where are you hit?" |
7962 | Where is the blood to come from? |
7962 | While your mind is wandering into the future it is likely to be rudely brought to earth by a Tommy interrupting with,"What''s good for rheumatism?" |
7962 | Who in''ell''s a''goin''to draw the water for the mornin''tea? |
7962 | Why did n''t it open fire and save them? |
7962 | Why did n''t"D"Company fire on them? |
7962 | Why do n''t you join? |
7962 | Why in''ell did n''t you use mud?" |
7962 | Why not use the rafters overhead, call them boxes, and charge two francs for a seat on them? |
7962 | Why not write a sketch and break Tommy in as an actor? |
7962 | Why were they so strangely silent? |
7962 | Will you come out of this war crippled and tied into knots with rheumatism, caused by the wet and mud of trenches and dugouts? |
7962 | Wilson, did I give you any order for the Battery to open up? |
7962 | With a roar he shouted:"''Which one of you is Cassell? |
7962 | Yes? |
7962 | only a bullet? |
18794 | A previous speaker has referred to the help of the Lord, but who is able to fathom His counsels? 18794 And ought we not to be convinced that independence is now irretrievably lost? |
18794 | Are you General De Wet? |
18794 | Are you afraid of things like that? |
18794 | Are you mad? 18794 But are we really justified in prolonging the struggle, and making still further sacrifices? |
18794 | But has nobody on horseback crossed here? |
18794 | But where is your gun? |
18794 | Do baboons walk across? |
18794 | Do you mean to tell me,he asked,"that you are going to give the English a free hand, whilst your men take their holidays?" |
18794 | Do you want more of my reasons? 18794 General, when shall we come to the blockhouses?" |
18794 | Has a man never ridden across here? |
18794 | Have we not arrived at the stage of our history when we must pray,''Thy will be done''? 18794 How is it,"they would ask,"that we are not now free men? |
18794 | Is that satisfactory? |
18794 | It will be asked why, if we have kept up the struggle for two years and a half, can we not still continue to do so? 18794 Let every one consider this well: Is he prepared to sacrifice the nation on the shrine of his own ambition? |
18794 | The question still remains, What are we to do? 18794 The sacrifice must be made; is not this also a trial of our faith? |
18794 | There has been talk about fighting to the bitter end; but has not the bitter end already come? 18794 Those who wish to continue the war are influenced chiefly by hope; but on what is this hope founded? |
18794 | What can be the meaning of this? |
18794 | What do you mean by riding ahead like this? |
18794 | What is there left to hope for? 18794 What was he like?" |
18794 | What, then, is the prevailing feeling in the Orange Free State? 18794 Where is Veldtcornet--?" |
18794 | Will you give us your word of honour,he asked me when he caught sight of the gun,"not to stir from your position till we have got ten miles away? |
18794 | A year ago both parties had been inspired by faith, but what had been the result? |
18794 | Again, could the war be continued when their commandos were so much weakened, and when food was so scarce? |
18794 | And critical our condition certainly is; so that I am not surprised that some of us are asking,''What hope have we now in continuing the struggle?'' |
18794 | And has this brought us independence? |
18794 | And how can we expect those not their own kith and kin to be willing to give up liberty for their sakes? |
18794 | And how could it be otherwise? |
18794 | And how do you imagine that this arrangement could be carried on?" |
18794 | And should the commandos in time become so weak as to be forced to surrender unconditionally, what then would be the fate of the officers? |
18794 | And the Boer women-- did they lose courage with this before their eyes? |
18794 | And the abandoned tracts-- to whom will they belong? |
18794 | And to the families in the camps? |
18794 | And we? |
18794 | And what could they hope to gain by continuing the struggle? |
18794 | And what did that messenger say? |
18794 | And what does the voice of reason say? |
18794 | And what real advantage had accrued from his successes in the veldt? |
18794 | And why? |
18794 | And why? |
18794 | Are our affairs darker now? |
18794 | Are we going to say,''We will continue the struggle and leave these districts to their fate''? |
18794 | Are we not to desist until every man of us is in captivity, in exile, or in his grave? |
18794 | Are we to continue the war? |
18794 | Are we to retain our independence by ceding a part of our territories? |
18794 | Are you satisfied with this?" |
18794 | At length the moment of decision came, and what course remained open to us? |
18794 | At the same time they said,''We are anxious for peace; will you make other proposals?'' |
18794 | Breijtenbach( Utrecht) urged that a definite yes or no must be given to the question, Is the war to continue? |
18794 | But I would ask another question:''What hope had we at the beginning of the war?'' |
18794 | But am I only to consider myself? |
18794 | But could not the delegates continue to stand by one another, and make a covenant with the Lord? |
18794 | But how are we to do so? |
18794 | But how could it have been otherwise? |
18794 | But how is it now with us? |
18794 | But how shall we negotiate? |
18794 | But how? |
18794 | But if we go on with the war until we are forced to surrender, who will then take care of them? |
18794 | But the question for us to answer is this: Are we going forwards or backwards? |
18794 | But was it not, perhaps, prompted by a desire to make a fine speech, which would go down to posterity? |
18794 | But what did I hear? |
18794 | But what did it matter? |
18794 | But what grounds for hope were there when the war began? |
18794 | But what happened? |
18794 | But what happened? |
18794 | But what is''the bitter end''? |
18794 | But what really happened? |
18794 | But what tangible reason for hope was there at the beginning of the war? |
18794 | But what was faith? |
18794 | But what were the arguments against going on with the war? |
18794 | But what were we to do now? |
18794 | But why were they of this mind? |
18794 | But would that be possible? |
18794 | But, as it was, the burghers kept on asking:"Where shall I put this rifle, General? |
18794 | By what right do you usurp that title? |
18794 | CHAPTER XXVII Was Ours a Guerilla War? |
18794 | Can it be right to sacrifice a nation which has fought as the African nation has done?" |
18794 | Can we become faithless to the hundreds of killed and prisoners, who, trusting in our firmness, offered their lives and freedom for the fatherland? |
18794 | Can we now-- when it is merely a question of banishment-- shrink from our duty? |
18794 | Can you not see that the whole course of events was a miracle from beginning to end? |
18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Am I to understand that you mean that we are getting away from the point in discussion?" |
18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Are we to understand that our proposal is now altogether rejected?" |
18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Then I understand that you are going to be guided only by the Middelburg proposals?" |
18794 | Commandant- General Botha:"Will not a Dutch translation be annexed?" |
18794 | Could England then be considered to be annexed by the other nation, and could the enemy term the English"Guerillas"? |
18794 | Could any one ever have thought before the war that the twentieth century could show such barbarities? |
18794 | Could that be called encouragement? |
18794 | Cronje''s pitiable condition confronted us, and we had but one thought-- could we relieve him? |
18794 | Did I call myself a man? |
18794 | Did it not realize that if the case of the Republic was hopeless in Europe the deputation would send word to that effect? |
18794 | Did the money they brought ever do us any good? |
18794 | Does it not show that He is minded to form us, by this war, into a nation worthy of the name? |
18794 | Does not this prove that no other Government is willing to receive it? |
18794 | For how could our diminutive army hope to stand against the overwhelming numbers at the enemy''s command? |
18794 | For instance, if you come to the conclusion that we have exhausted every expedient, will you still continue the struggle? |
18794 | For ten or twelve years? |
18794 | For what has the gold done for us? |
18794 | For what nation exists, or has existed, which has not a historical record whether to its advantage or to its disadvantage? |
18794 | From which side should the attack take place? |
18794 | General Smuts:"Is it your opinion that our proposal must be set aside?" |
18794 | Had I then to go on from commando to commando, to undergo everywhere the martyrdom of beholding ceaseless surrenders? |
18794 | Had the meeting lost its confidence in that deputation? |
18794 | Have we not also one- third of our army left? |
18794 | He had consulted his burghers and their women- folk; he had asked them,"What conditions of peace will you accept?" |
18794 | How am I to explain the inexplicable? |
18794 | How are we to transport it from one district to another? |
18794 | How can I describe my feelings when I saw Bloemfontein in the hands of the English? |
18794 | How could we have endured it?" |
18794 | How did he use it? |
18794 | How do matters stand now? |
18794 | How many are there now? |
18794 | How was it to be explained that two hundred and forty thousand troops had failed to exterminate two small Republics? |
18794 | How would the delegates face their families on their return, after the sacrifice of independence? |
18794 | How would they be able to meet their burghers with such an answer as that? |
18794 | How, then, could we think of making a stand, with our tiny forces, against two hundred and forty thousand men, with three or four hundred guns? |
18794 | I asked myself, and if so, why did I run away? |
18794 | I heard burghers muttering:--"Suppose the enemy should aim those guns at us-- what will become of us then? |
18794 | I pitied the poor"Tommies,"but what else could I do but order them to march with me? |
18794 | I therefore ask, Is the difference so great that, in order for England to obtain her object, an entirely new status must be called into existence?" |
18794 | I thought at first that it was only some cattle being shot for food, but all at once there were more shots, and what did we see? |
18794 | I will answer this question by another-- who first broke the terms of this oath?--the burghers or the English military authorities? |
18794 | If in two years we have been reduced from sixty thousand fighting men to half that number, where will our army be after another ten years of war? |
18794 | If such has been the history of the past year, in what sort of condition shall we be at the end of the present one? |
18794 | If the famous Cronje were captured, how could any ordinary burgher be expected to continue his resistance? |
18794 | If the_ whole_ becomes annexed by us, how then can a_ part_ be ceded by you?" |
18794 | If there is not a great deal going on in Europe which England wants to hide from us, why is she so careful not to let us see European journals? |
18794 | If they had trusted in God at the beginning, why did they not continue to trust in Him? |
18794 | If we reject this proposal, what prospects have we in the future? |
18794 | If_ we_ are united, then will the nation be united also; but if we are divided, in what a plight will the nation find itself?" |
18794 | In the second place, he would ask how it was they had not been allowed to meet their deputation? |
18794 | In what position do you think you are placing Lord Kitchener and myself? |
18794 | Is it not my first duty to look at the interests of my nation? |
18794 | Is it possible? |
18794 | Is it to come when all of us are either banished or in our graves? |
18794 | Is not a loss such as this, in so short a time as two and a half years, a serious matter? |
18794 | Is not this the bitter end? |
18794 | Is there no sound of approaching footsteps? |
18794 | It is not too late to save it now, but who can tell what the future holds in store for us? |
18794 | It is possible that a war may arise in Europe from which we shall gain something, but what right have we to expect such a contingency? |
18794 | It may be asked, however, why the deputation did not send a report of its own? |
18794 | It might become necessary for the commandos to leave the district, and if so, what was to become of the families? |
18794 | It was necessary to act-- but how? |
18794 | It was there that General Piet de Wet came to me and asked if I still saw any chance of being able to continue the struggle? |
18794 | It was, however, very tedious work, for how could any of us be sure that we were not placing the after- oxen in front and the fore- oxen behind? |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Am I to understand by this that it is an unlimited amount, or does it come within the amount decided on by the Volksraad?" |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Are you prepared to set aside your present proposal and to hand in another one bearing a closer resemblance to that of Middelburg? |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Do you accept the annexation?" |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Do you mean by your proposal that the Boers will become British citizens?" |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Is it necessary to make a proposal about this?" |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Is this the only point you wish to bring forward, or are there others in addition?" |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Well, would two or three million be sufficient? |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Will you then consider yourselves British subjects? |
18794 | Lord Kitchener:"Would that meet your difficulty?" |
18794 | Lord Milner:"Are we to understand that the Middelburg proposals are not according to the mind of your people?" |
18794 | Lord Milner:"Do you wish us to refer your proposals to His Majesty''s Government?" |
18794 | Lord Milner:"What is the good then?" |
18794 | Lord Milner:"What is the next point you wish to raise? |
18794 | Lord Milner:"You mean that one part would become a British Colony of the ordinary type, and another part a protected Republic?" |
18794 | Meanwhile our friends(?) |
18794 | Men as lovable or as valiant there might be, but where should I find a man who combined so many virtues and good qualities in one person? |
18794 | Mr. De Clercq then addressed the meeting in the following words:"The question before us is, whether or not the war can be continued? |
18794 | Must they still continue to shed blood? |
18794 | Must we then not ask ourselves, What will be the best for the nation as a whole? |
18794 | Nearly all with one accord sprang up and asked,"Who are you?" |
18794 | Need I say that these men had to be captured? |
18794 | Now, supposing that we can hold out another year, what should we gain by doing so? |
18794 | On all sides one heard the question,"Where are we really going? |
18794 | On intervention? |
18794 | On our arms? |
18794 | On what then? |
18794 | One must ask: If the nation were here, what would it wish to be done? |
18794 | Or can we lose faith in a just God, who has so wonderfully upheld us till now? |
18794 | Or does it mean the time when the nation has fought until it never can fight again? |
18794 | Or if we were all killed, what could we do for them? |
18794 | Or that, if the war were to be continued, the people would gain any advantage which that proposal did not give them? |
18794 | Rather, will it not enable the enemy to concentrate still more? |
18794 | Shall such a nation perish? |
18794 | Shall we make a new proposal?" |
18794 | Shall we say continue the war, or shall we approach the enemy and make a proposal? |
18794 | Should they then continue the war? |
18794 | Should we serve their interests by continuing the war? |
18794 | Some asked what were the chances of success? |
18794 | Some of the delegates set their hopes on the European deputation, but what did that deputation say a year ago? |
18794 | Some will reply,''Go on with the war,''Yes, but for how long? |
18794 | The President concluded this very remarkable and powerful letter with the question:--"Are we again to leave the Colonial burghers in the lurch? |
18794 | The burghers could not understand this, and began to grumble about it-- what could their General mean? |
18794 | The district would have to be abandoned, and what would then be the fate of the families, which even now could only be scantily provided for? |
18794 | The military authorities without any doubt; what other answer can one give? |
18794 | The question now is, Is there anything further that we can do? |
18794 | The question was,"Which way shall we go?" |
18794 | The reader, perusing them, may well pause in surprise and cry out,"Can such things be possible?" |
18794 | There were a large number of burghers in the veldt to continue the war-- what has become of our independence?" |
18794 | To flee-- what could be more bitter than that? |
18794 | To the question, What probability was there of their being able to continue the struggle? |
18794 | WAS OURS A GUERILLA WAR? |
18794 | Was it possible for one part of the nation to continue fighting without the other? |
18794 | Was it that our Governments relied on foreign intervention? |
18794 | Was not the aim in some cases that future generations might recall these speeches when they were told of the brave fight our men had made? |
18794 | Was nothing on this earth then solid or lasting? |
18794 | We are told that there is food here, and food there; but how are we to get at it? |
18794 | We asked each other in wonder,"Is it possible? |
18794 | We asked ourselves what we should do without the President at our meetings? |
18794 | We think our cause a righteous one, but are we willing to die for it? |
18794 | Were they again going to decide to continue their resistance? |
18794 | Were they now to abandon these Colonists, and-- thinking only about saving themselves-- leave them to fight on alone? |
18794 | Were they, then, to surrender unconditionally? |
18794 | What advantage can there then be in persisting in the struggle? |
18794 | What are we to do with them? |
18794 | What benefit have they ever done us? |
18794 | What can we have to do at Winburg?" |
18794 | What could we do now? |
18794 | What could we do now? |
18794 | What grounds have we for expecting that we may yet be victorious? |
18794 | What had followed on them? |
18794 | What has the nation done to deserve extinction? |
18794 | What have I to do with this horse?" |
18794 | What have we gained since June, 1901? |
18794 | What more, then, was there left for them to do? |
18794 | What reason had they for wishing to prolong this struggle? |
18794 | What right shall we have to intercede for these unfortunate ones when we have rejected the proposals of the English Government? |
18794 | What right, then, had the delegates to give up the war on the basis of the proposal now before them? |
18794 | What shall we gain by going on? |
18794 | What then was I to do? |
18794 | What was I to do? |
18794 | What was I to do? |
18794 | What was I to do? |
18794 | What was our total strength when we began this war? |
18794 | What was to become of them if the burghers, by refusing to come to terms with the enemy, should no longer be able to act as their mutual protectors? |
18794 | What were we to do? |
18794 | What will the world say of these young burghers? |
18794 | What will then become of these families? |
18794 | What would it be to have to give up that name for ever? |
18794 | What would their progeny say of them if they were to persist in the struggle and thus lose everything they had possessed? |
18794 | What, he asked, were the arguments in favour of continuing the war? |
18794 | What, moreover, was to happen to the prisoners of war, if the struggle were to be continued? |
18794 | What, then, is the answer to be? |
18794 | What, then, is to be our judgment on this act of Prinsloo and of the other chief officers in command of our forces behind the Roodebergen? |
18794 | When on the following night we were again in the saddle I heard from many a mouth,"Whither now?" |
18794 | When the Kaffir came out to me, I pointed to the Magalies Mountains, and asked:--"Right before us, can a man cross there?" |
18794 | When we had gone up about half- way we heard the challenge of a sentry:--"Halt; who goes there?" |
18794 | Where is the''honourable peace''for us? |
18794 | Which of them could say that he could have obtained better terms for the people than those contained in that proposal? |
18794 | Who goes there?" |
18794 | Why should we lose our trust in God? |
18794 | Why then should Germany interfere in favour of the Republics, when she has everything to lose by such a course of action? |
18794 | Why then should they argue any longer? |
18794 | Why this sudden change in his plans? |
18794 | Will not this make our remorse all the more bitter? |
18794 | Will this make us stronger? |
18794 | Will you give us your permission to adjourn for a moment in order to discuss the matter?" |
18794 | Will you not continue fighting until you are relieved? |
18794 | Would England then be entitled to call their antagonists"Guerillas"? |
18794 | Would it not be better to come to some agreement with the enemy, while we have the opportunity? |
18794 | Would they not lose everything, and be banished into the bargain? |
18794 | [ 120]"What, then, are we to do? |
18794 | [ Footnote 22:"How is it with you?"] |
18794 | _ Weak_, did I say? |
18794 | that is very surprising; but shall we retain this power long? |
12185 | -Vous?_he said, when at length he found his tongue. |
12185 | ? |
12185 | ? |
12185 | A friend of yours? |
12185 | All the horses? |
12185 | And Florentin and Cognac? |
12185 | And I-- where shall I go? |
12185 | And after that you think you''re going to get past us? 12185 And the war, Mademoiselle, do you know anything about what has happened?" |
12185 | And the women? |
12185 | And when can we meet? |
12185 | And you, what on earth are you doing here? |
12185 | And you-- Monsieur le Cure-- bow is it you are here? |
12185 | And your women? |
12185 | Anything new, George? |
12185 | Are there no wounded there? |
12185 | Are you Madame Huard? |
12185 | Are you alone? |
12185 | Are you really hungry? |
12185 | At what time should we start, Madame? |
12185 | At what time will they pass here? |
12185 | Badly wounded? |
12185 | Bouteron? 12185 But after they''re delivered-- what?" |
12185 | But how did you come to be spared? |
12185 | But how did you get here? |
12185 | But the papers? 12185 But why Saturday?" |
12185 | But why do you leave home? |
12185 | But why on earth is she carrying frame, glass, and all? 12185 Can I be of any assistance?" |
12185 | Can I be of any assistance? |
12185 | Can I do anything for you, doctor? |
12185 | Could I give them lodgings? |
12185 | Did anyone see you come in here? |
12185 | Did she think she could get up a little: long enough to take some dinner? 12185 Do n''t you want some milk?" |
12185 | Do you know Cleveland? |
12185 | Do you know a man named H.? |
12185 | Do you know anything of Villiers? |
12185 | Do you love him well enough to endure another sacrifice like a true wife and mother that you are? |
12185 | Do you see that? 12185 Do you think Villiers was bombarded?" |
12185 | Do you think we''ll be''home''in time to eat Christmas dinner? |
12185 | Do you think you can tell''em what that is, sister? |
12185 | Does Madame know that the_ fils Poupard_ is leaving by the four o''clock train--- and that Cranger and Veron are going too? |
12185 | George-- where''s the old man? |
12185 | Go? |
12185 | Have you a good temperament? |
12185 | Have you come for the wounded? |
12185 | Have you ever yet had occasion to nurse a soldier? |
12185 | Have you got an extra one? |
12185 | Have you seen no one from down there? |
12185 | Have you seen the chateau? |
12185 | Hello, Louis, you here, too? |
12185 | Hide them? |
12185 | How did you come? 12185 How did your regiment come off?" |
12185 | How do I know? |
12185 | How do you know? |
12185 | How does it happen that your motor was not at the station? |
12185 | How long shall we be? |
12185 | How many horses are you taking to Rozoy? |
12185 | How many of you are there? |
12185 | How on earth do you expect me to know? 12185 How, when, where?" |
12185 | I beg pardon for the liberty I''m taking,''he said,"but might I ask where you''re bound?" |
12185 | I hope you have n''t come for your tea service, Madame? |
12185 | Is H.--? |
12185 | Is he dead? |
12185 | Is he dead? |
12185 | Is he wounded? |
12185 | Is it as precious as all that? |
12185 | Is that all the plums? |
12185 | Is the road clear? 12185 Is there a doctor here?" |
12185 | Is there a doctor in the place still? |
12185 | Is there any danger of its_ not_ going? |
12185 | Is there any hope? |
12185 | Is there anyone left to help me clean place to sleep in? |
12185 | Is there anything particular you want me to say to this man for you? |
12185 | It''s about time for the_ Grand manaeuvres_, is n''t it? |
12185 | La Ferte- sous- Jouarre? |
12185 | Leaving? 12185 Melun?" |
12185 | Might I ask when you will release me? |
12185 | No-- what? |
12185 | Prisoners? |
12185 | Really? |
12185 | Say, you have n''t by any chance got a razor about you? |
12185 | Seen what? |
12185 | Shall I unbandage? |
12185 | Shall we ever get through saying''good- bye''? 12185 Start where?" |
12185 | Tell me where you''re bound for? |
12185 | The twelve o''clock express-- what platform? |
12185 | Then how in the name of heaven do you expect those people to dress and roll up their belongings in the dark? |
12185 | Then what in the name of common sense sent you flying down here to scare us like that? 12185 Then where''s the nearest bridge across?" |
12185 | Then why did n''t Poupard come back with you and Leon in the cart? 12185 War?"'' |
12185 | Was our horse taken? 12185 Was your husband good to you?" |
12185 | We? |
12185 | Well? |
12185 | Were you in the battle? |
12185 | What are they down here for? |
12185 | What are you doing down_ here?_"I brought down a gentleman who was in a hurry. 12185 What are you doing here? |

12185 | What do you mean? |
12185 | What for? |
12185 | What have you got there? 12185 What have you got to say?" |
12185 | What is it? |
12185 | What is the sense of alarming people so uselessly? |
12185 | What makes you say that? |
12185 | What on earth are they? |
12185 | What on earth have you boys been up to? |
12185 | What regiment do you belong to? |
12185 | What regiments drove them out? |

12185 | What? |
12185 | Where are you bound for? |
12185 | Where are you going to hide your provisions now you''ve got them so beautifully tied up? |
12185 | Where are you going with your cart? |
12185 | Where did you pick him up? |
12185 | Where do you live? |
12185 | Where is he? 12185 Where is our nearest barracks?" |
12185 | Where the devil did you get the light? |
12185 | Where was he when you saw him? |
12185 | Where was he? |
12185 | Where''s Betsy? |
12185 | Where''s our nearest barracks? |
12185 | Where''s the nearest hospital? |
12185 | Where''s your husband? |
12185 | Where? |
12185 | Wheren''t people furious? |
12185 | Who are you? |
12185 | Who says so, Madame? |
12185 | Who''s with you? |
12185 | Who? |
12185 | Who? |
12185 | Who? |
12185 | Why does n''t one of you men relieve her of that heavy parcel she has strapped to her shoulders? |
12185 | Why, Honorine, what''s the matter? |
12185 | Why, Madame Huard,said the clerk in surprise,"you mean to say you are frightened?" |
12185 | Why? 12185 Why?" |
12185 | Why? |
12185 | Why? |
12185 | Will you do it gracefully? 12185 Will you give me ten minutes to arrange my affairs here?" |
12185 | Will you take us as far as Charly? |
12185 | Wo n''t you come in and rest? |
12185 | Would you mind, Madame? |
12185 | Wounded? |
12185 | Yes, unless you will be good enough to inform these gentlemen who I am? |
12185 | You are not afraid, Madame? |
12185 | You do n''t really believe it''s serious, do you? |
12185 | You''ve heard the news, I suppose, Madame? |
12185 | You? 12185 You? |
12185 | You? |
12185 | _ Eh bien, Monsieur_, what news? |
12185 | _ Parlez- vous anglais?_they fairly bawled, all three at once. |
12185 | _ Pensez- vous? 12185 _ Vous?_""Yes-- why not?" |
12185 | _ Vous?_"Yes-- why not? |
12185 | _ What?_"Yes, gentlemen. |
12185 | ''Where are our Allies?'' |
12185 | A dog? |
12185 | A year? |
12185 | Already?" |
12185 | And Betsy?" |
12185 | And did I know of anyone I would care to have with me? |
12185 | And my trip to Soissons? |
12185 | And now, is n''t there something we can do for you?" |
12185 | And what were their plans? |
12185 | Are these boys with you?" |
12185 | Are you going to let this boy stay and be finished by the Germans, or are you going to let me put him in your cart and drive to a hospital?" |
12185 | Are you her servant? |
12185 | But how and to whom should I offer it? |
12185 | But how? |
12185 | But our doctor and the pharmaceutical products? |
12185 | But what cavalry? |
12185 | But what on earth was father Poupard doing on the highroad at that hour? |
12185 | But what to do? |
12185 | But what was that in the semi- darkness ahead of me? |
12185 | But why had they come away? |
12185 | But why worry? |
12185 | Can we go there? |
12185 | Can you tell us that?" |
12185 | Cavalry? |
12185 | Could I promise it? |
12185 | Could it be true? |
12185 | Did I know anything? |
12185 | Did I mind if she followed in our wake? |
12185 | Did n''t he think he was safe here? |
12185 | Did n''t he think me capable of doing so? |
12185 | Did she think there was any possibility of nursing wounded in our hospital? |
12185 | Did you approach them?" |
12185 | Did you see him?" |
12185 | Do n''t you think you could find room for me?" |
12185 | Do you see that?" |
12185 | Do you think they know anything more than we do? |
12185 | Enough to fight? |
12185 | Fourteen rooms? |
12185 | From where and when would they arrive? |
12185 | Go and abandon my post, with Yvonne still too ill to move, and all the others depending on my help? |
12185 | Go on living like a hermit on that great big estate? |
12185 | Go where? |
12185 | Go? |
12185 | Go? |
12185 | Good God, what had happened? |
12185 | Had I heard anything? |
12185 | Have n''t you all had enough of this kind of traveling?" |
12185 | Have n''t you seen our Red Cross flag? |
12185 | Have you something entertaining to read on my way to the front?" |
12185 | He drew his head up with a jerk, and turning on me with an almost furious look in his big black eyes, he snapped,"Are you married?" |
12185 | Hein?_"Our door closed and the trainman whistled. |
12185 | Here? |
12185 | How and when would we all meet? |
12185 | How and whom was I to thank? |
12185 | How can one describe it? |
12185 | How can we get to them now? |
12185 | How could you?" |
12185 | How far is it to Rozoy?" |
12185 | How many of you are there? |
12185 | How many wounded were there? |
12185 | How? |
12185 | I gasped a little in surprise and just as I did so a female voice from behind a distant desk called out:"What is your pleasure, Madame?" |
12185 | I turned back and addressed myself to another:"What''s your hurry?" |
12185 | It was too long to fit into the handlebars, besides how could I hold it there? |
12185 | Masbrennier''s?" |
12185 | May we come in?" |
12185 | Might I ask where you come from?" |
12185 | Might he turn his party into the drive and rest a bit in the shade? |
12185 | Not in the least surprised by my audacity he asked,"Are you a nurse?" |
12185 | On foot?" |
12185 | Our comrade, Ballandreau?" |
12185 | Ours? |
12185 | Poor little chaps, it seemed a pity to wake them, but what was to be done? |
12185 | Refugees? |
12185 | Should I tell the villagers? |
12185 | Some poor souls interred on my greensward; but why, since our little cemetery is but a couple of hundred yards up the road? |
12185 | Souvenirs? |
12185 | Stay on the other side and wait for my caravan or cross over and risk my chances alone? |
12185 | Suppose the chateau should suddenly become the target for the German guns? |
12185 | That I stop every passer- by and every vehicle? |
12185 | That will you do if it lasts longer? |
12185 | The Frenchman was rapidly gaining on the other, but would they come into combat before they vanished from our horizon? |
12185 | Then the invaders had crossed the Marne? |
12185 | They had no orders to stop, but hoped we would let them rest a bit before going further-- and could we give them something to eat? |
12185 | They no longer possessed one, and who could tell-- the war might last a year or more? |
12185 | They were all well and needed no beds-- would I let them sleep in the bay for a few hours? |
12185 | Villiers? |
12185 | Was it possible? |
12185 | Was n''t there a Peace Palace at The Hague? |
12185 | Was she still alive? |
12185 | Well, and then what? |
12185 | Were we not in the twentieth century? |
12185 | What Bouteron?" |
12185 | What could it mean? |
12185 | What did this mean? |
12185 | What do you mean by frightening Madame like that? |
12185 | What does he say?" |
12185 | What for?" |
12185 | What had become of them? |
12185 | What on earth are they doing down here?" |
12185 | What on earth has happened?" |
12185 | What to do? |
12185 | What to do? |
12185 | What was I to do? |
12185 | What was required of me? |
12185 | What was the use of trying to hurry? |
12185 | When they had reached the spot where the road forked, which direction had he taken? |
12185 | When will these departures cease?" |
12185 | Where are the others?" |
12185 | Where was my little troupe? |
12185 | Where were we going? |
12185 | Where?" |
12185 | Who could tell? |
12185 | Who''s going to bring in our crop? |
12185 | Why not? |
12185 | Why not? |
12185 | Why?" |
12185 | Will you have some-- my own brew?" |
12185 | Would I help? |
12185 | Would I let them come in? |
12185 | Would I pay him and let him go? |
12185 | Would he meet us in front of the_ Hotel du Soleil d''Or?_ He was delighted, and promised to be on time. |
12185 | Would you mind waiting just a few moments? |
12185 | You do n''t mean to say the scare has reached this place, too?" |
12185 | Your husband? |
12185 | wounded?" |
35392 | And angry? |
35392 | And food? |
35392 | And is it true that you are trying to change your national flag because the Germans have been misusing it? |
35392 | And so the Prince has shewed himself sympathetic towards the Allies? |
35392 | And you, how are you going to get away? |
35392 | And_ very_ surprised? |
35392 | Are you sure it''s_ giving_? |
35392 | But do you think I will ever get back from Liège to Antwerp? |
35392 | But how on earth shall I ever get them again? 35392 But what about England?" |
35392 | But what are you doing in this train? |
35392 | But why are you so afraid? |
35392 | But why did he speak with the Germans in the restaurant? |
35392 | But why? |
35392 | But would the Americans do that for a British subject? |
35392 | But you are English? |
35392 | But, do n''t you realise, ma''am, that to get into Brussels you have got to go through the German lines? |
35392 | C''est moi,replied the driver, and his expression seemed to say,"Who on earth did you think it was?" |
35392 | Can you give us something to eat? |
35392 | Did he believe you? |
35392 | Did he get the passport from his Consul? |
35392 | Did he give you back my passport? |
35392 | Did he want to know how I got away? |
35392 | Did he_ look_ as if he believed you? |
35392 | Do you mean to say that you have n''t warned her already not to tell him where I''ve really gone to? |
35392 | Do you see that station over there? |
35392 | Do you_ think_ he believed you? |
35392 | Does not your master ever go towards the fighting? |
35392 | Have you been wounded, Sir? |
35392 | Have you heard the news? 35392 Have you seen the Germans?" |
35392 | How are things in Brussels, Madame? |
35392 | How are you going to get away? |
35392 | How do I know,said he,"that you will restore it to the lady?" |
35392 | How do you do? |
35392 | How do you feel to us? |
35392 | How far is Holland? |
35392 | How long am I to stay here? |
35392 | How long do you think it will last? |
35392 | How much? |
35392 | How much? |
35392 | I am sorry I could bring you no food, but the Germans are up and down the stairs all day long, and I dare not risk them asking me,Who is that for?" |
35392 | I do n''t know, what do you think? |
35392 | Is gas escaping somewhere? |
35392 | Is it not true, then, that the Dutch allowed German troops to pass through Holland? |
35392 | May I fix that window for you? 35392 May I see your papers?" |
35392 | No, because he said to me to- day,''Where is that mädchen who never spoke?'' |
35392 | Not_ pleased?_"Perhaps! |
35392 | Perhaps he will ask Monsieur Claude where I am? |
35392 | Perhaps he will ask Monsieur Claude''s sister? |
35392 | Perhaps he will try and find me? |
35392 | Shall I? |
35392 | So you are going back at once to Brussels, Monsieur? |
35392 | That is on the way to Louvain, is it not? |
35392 | Then will you dine with us to- night at half- past seven, at the Hotel des Arcades? |
35392 | Then you do n''t think he was speaking of_ me_? |
35392 | Was he angry? |
35392 | What about Aerschot and the church? |
35392 | What about the little oil stoves the newspapers say you''re having? |
35392 | What did you know about him? |
35392 | What did you say? |
35392 | What do you like most to receive? |
35392 | What do you think I ought to do? |
35392 | What has happened? |
35392 | What is happening? |
35392 | What is in that bag? |
35392 | What is the use? |
35392 | What is this you have done? |
35392 | What made you send him up to me, François? 35392 What town is it?" |
35392 | What will you do with them? |
35392 | What''s the smell? |
35392 | Where are we going? |
35392 | Where are you staying in Dunkirk? |
35392 | Where is he? |
35392 | Who did he mean? |
35392 | Who is this? |
35392 | Would you like some more wine? |
35392 | Wounded? 35392 Wurst?" |
35392 | You are sure none of you have no correspondence, no newspapers? |
35392 | You know,I said tentatively,"that rumour persists in attributing to Holland a readiness to do business with Germany?" |
35392 | You''ll be shot for a dead certainty, Cherry? |
35392 | _ Est- ce que la ville est prise?_It is months since then, but I still hear that perishing soldier''s voice, breaking over his terrific query. |
35392 | _ Savez- vous_? 35392 _ Sur le Champ de Bataille!_"Where else would Albert be indeed? |
35392 | ''What can it mean?'' |
35392 | Ah, mais c''est triste n''est- ce- pas? |
35392 | Am I dreaming? |
35392 | Am I going to stay and see the Germans enter? |
35392 | And I ask too why should I feel so frightened? |
35392 | And again:"Have_ you_ heard the good news? |
35392 | And am I in that danger now? |
35392 | And inside? |
35392 | And now-- what''s this? |
35392 | And what did Holland do? |
35392 | And what did it cost? |
35392 | And what do you think she answers? |
35392 | And why? |
35392 | And why? |
35392 | Are there more wolves in there, slinking ever nearer to the cities? |
35392 | Are we? |
35392 | Are you ready for the end? |
35392 | As the soldiers crawled painfully into the little cart, I whispered to the elder one:"Do you know where your King is, Monsieur?" |
35392 | But how are you going to get to Brussels?" |
35392 | But shall we, too, be begging for bread some day? |
35392 | But still we go on-- n''est- ce- pas? |
35392 | But what has happened to it? |
35392 | By whose hand was it fired, that shot that laid the monster at his victim''s feet? |
35392 | C''est évident, n''est- ce- pas? |
35392 | CAN I TRUST THEM? |
35392 | CHAPTER XLIV CAN I TRUST THEM? |
35392 | CHAPTER XXV DEATH IN LIFE What is it I''ve been saying about gaiety? |
35392 | Ce sont les Allemands, n''est- ce- pas?" |
35392 | Could I trust them? |
35392 | Did you say going to Brussels?" |
35392 | Did you see the dragon embroidered on their pouches? |
35392 | Do n''t you know who they are?" |
35392 | Do they come to the soldiers, thoughts like these? |
35392 | Do you think I will ever get to Liège?" |
35392 | Does she turn it upside down over a bucket of rubbish as they do in England, leaving the tea- leaves to go to the dustman when he calls on Friday? |
35392 | Everyone is asking,"What do you think? |
35392 | For sometimes the city seemed to shake all over, and as I lay in bed I wondered who was firing: Germans, Belgians, English, which? |
35392 | François, and Lenore, Henri, Ada, and the little old grey- moustached man whistling like a bird, who were they? |
35392 | Have other people been born with the same belief, I wonder? |
35392 | Have you heard any news?" |
35392 | How can they bear it? |
35392 | How could one ever use such a word? |
35392 | How do you see Tommy when a war photographer gets him? |
35392 | How much? |
35392 | I ask myself what is it? |
35392 | I asked the maid who brought my coffee"Is n''t that firing very near?" |
35392 | I begin to say to myself, with quite an excited feeling,"Shall I ever see her throw anything away?" |
35392 | I guess you''re English, are n''t you, ma''am?" |
35392 | In English he said,"I heard there was an English lady here who wants to get away from Antwerp?" |
35392 | Is it bad? |
35392 | Is it callous, indifferent, cruel? |
35392 | Is it hard- hearted? |
35392 | Is it that, bluntly put, we are lazy? |
35392 | Is she really going to try and get him to Holland, I wonder? |
35392 | Is this brutal? |
35392 | It is the best asparagus in the world? |
35392 | It was not long before I said to him:"Do you think it would be possible for an Englishwoman to get into Brussels? |
35392 | Mile after mile the train passed through these ravaged areas, and I stood at the window with misty eyes and quickened breath? |
35392 | Oh, the English will be good to them, wo n''t they, Louisa? |
35392 | Or are we simply-- what? |
35392 | Or was it the big guns that woke them, the canary, and the grey Congo parrot? |
35392 | Shall we, too, be longing for the pieces we threw away? |
35392 | That will be splendid, Madam, will it not?" |
35392 | The American says:''How could you Germans destroy a beautiful city like Louvain?'' |
35392 | Then, dropping the subject of himself swiftly, but easily, the journalist begins courteously to ask questions; what am I doing here? |
35392 | They''ve got to know the truth about the war, n''est- ce- pas? |
35392 | Was it possible they were spies? |
35392 | Were they still struggling and tramping and falling along the roads to Holland? |
35392 | What are we doing? |
35392 | What did he think, I wonder, to find me suddenly flown? |
35392 | What do you think of that?" |
35392 | What does it mean, I wonder? |
35392 | What has happened? |
35392 | What horror has seized upon it, turning it into the most hideous travesty of a church that the world has ever known? |
35392 | What if they glanced down here and discovered_ me_? |
35392 | What is it? |
35392 | What is she going to do with these? |
35392 | What is this? |
35392 | What would happen to her little ones? |
35392 | What would he be like? |
35392 | Where do they get their heroism? |
35392 | Where were we going? |
35392 | Who could help it? |
35392 | Who knows? |
35392 | Who were they, these people? |
35392 | Why did I do that? |
35392 | Why do n''t you come with me?" |
35392 | Why had I not gone with the rest of them? |
35392 | Why waste an egg like that? |
35392 | Why were they here among the Germans? |
35392 | Why, then, did Jean look so agitated when we Went to the ticket office and asked for our tickets? |
35392 | Will you give me your passport? |
35392 | Would the English be kind to them? |
35392 | Would they be safe in England? |
35392 | You are brave n''est- ce- pas? |
35392 | You have not gone with them?" |
35392 | You recollect that German who leaned over the counter for such a long time when you were washing glasses?" |
35392 | _ De Toestand Te Antwerpen Is Zeer Ernstig._ What does it mean? |
35392 | _ I s''pose you have n''t seen a wolf, M''sieur, running about these parts?_"Nobody answers for a bit. |
35392 | _ Trees!_ Were there really such things left in the world? |
35392 | _ Want to go back?_ Good lor! |
35392 | _ Zeer Ernstig?_ Is it good? |
35392 | _ Zeer Ernstig?_ Is it good? |
35392 | here?" |
35392 | where am I going? |
35392 | where have I come from? |
4546 | Any chickens? |
4546 | Any eggs? |
4546 | Any flour or grain? |
4546 | Any guerrillas? |
4546 | Are you a member of the other House? |
4546 | Are you the Governor of a State? |
4546 | Certainly not"Have you ever had a vote of thanks by name? |
4546 | Do you think you could become so interested in my conversation as not to notice the door- keeper? |
4546 | Have you any meat? |
4546 | Is anybody in the house? |
4546 | Is it a good road, and how far? |
4546 | Is it locked up? |
4546 | Is no one about who can get in? |
4546 | Now, where is the proper place to break it? |
4546 | Well, ai n''t you on our side? |
4546 | Well,said he,"did n''t you think it was the biggest shuck and the littlest ear that ever you did see?" |
4546 | Well,said he,"did you see him take it off?" |
4546 | Well,said he,"what do you want of me?" |
4546 | Well,said he,"why do n''t you go into the gallery?" |
4546 | What appointment? |
4546 | What do you know of Uncle Billy? |
4546 | What do you live on? |
4546 | What is to be done with the freedmen? |
4546 | What is your badge? |
4546 | Where? |
4546 | Why? |
4546 | 1, but are in the immediate neighborhood, on their plantations? |
4546 | 9:45 p.m."LIEUTENANT- GENERAL GRANT:"Would it not be well for Warren to go down with his whole corps and smash up the force in front of Sheridan? |
4546 | A few days afterward the husband again appealed to his commanding officer( Taylor), who exclaimed:"Have n''t you got a musket? |
4546 | After shaking hands all round, the Governor said,"Coleman, what the devil is the matter here?" |
4546 | As I drew up by the party, Bismarck accosted me with,"Well, General, are n''t you hungry? |
4546 | At every meal the steward would come to me, and say,"Captain Sherman, will you bring your ladies to the table?" |
4546 | At this General Grant remarked:"Did he say so? |
4546 | But it first became necessary to settle the important question of who should succeed General McPherson? |
4546 | But what next? |
4546 | Ca n''t you defend your own family?" |
4546 | Can Grant supply himself from the Mississippi? |
4546 | Can it be that such a resort finds root in any stratum of American opinion? |
4546 | Can we whip the South? |
4546 | Can you expedite the sending to Nashville of the recruits that are in Indiana and Ohio? |
4546 | Could not such a camp be established about Pocotaligo or Coosawhatchie? |
4546 | Could not such escaped slaves find at least a partial supply of food in the rice- fields about Savannah, and cotton plantations on the coast? |
4546 | Could not your cavalry go back by the way of Stony Creek depot and destroy or capture the store of supplies there? |
4546 | Davis, etc.? |
4546 | General Blair simply asked,"Do you like it?" |
4546 | General Grant remarked,"What is to prevent their laying the rails again?" |
4546 | General Halleck had a map on his table, with a large pencil in his hand, and asked,"where is the rebel line?" |
4546 | Governor of a State? |
4546 | Halleck was present and spoke up, saying:"How would Sheridan do?" |
4546 | Halleck''s telegram of last night says:"Who sent Smith''s division to Nashville? |
4546 | Has any thing been heard from the troops ordered from Vicksburg? |
4546 | Have any more troops arrived from Richmond, or are any more coming, or reported to be coming? |
4546 | He asked me,"Where?" |
4546 | He dropped out of the retinue with an orderly, and after we had ridden a mile or so he overtook us, and I asked him,"What luck?" |
4546 | He inquired,"Why not both?" |
4546 | He remaining mounted, spoke first to me, saying simply,"How are you, Sheridan?" |
4546 | He said:"What is the use of your persevering? |
4546 | He then asked in his quizzical way,"Are you a foreign embassador?" |
4546 | He then said,"Have you any impudence?" |
4546 | He turned to me and said,"Ca n''t you take your regiment up there?" |
4546 | I answered, rather shortly,''How the devil do you know there is a masked battery? |
4546 | I answered:"How can you go to New York? |
4546 | I asked Deshler:"What does this mean? |
4546 | I assured him with thanks that I was"first- rate,"when, pointing toward the village, he asked,"Is General Lee up there?" |
4546 | I had on my undress uniform indicating my rank, and inquired of the sentinel,"Is General Fremont up?" |
4546 | I presume that some one said to the Governor about this time,"Why do n''t you get Sheridan?" |
4546 | I said I had come to see him on business; and he added,"You do n''t suppose that he will see such as you?" |
4546 | I touched it and examined one or two of the larger pieces, and asked,"Is it gold?" |
4546 | If Hood goes to the Alabama line, will it not be impossible for him to subsist his army? |
4546 | If the rebel leaders were to arm the slaves, what would be its effect? |
4546 | If you ca n''t get over, how can the rebels get at you?'' |
4546 | In that event, would it not be possible for you to become a citizen of our State? |
4546 | MAJOR- GENERAL THOMAS, Nashville, Tenn. Is there not danger of Forrest moving down the Cumberland to where he can cross it? |
4546 | Major Childs inquired,"Where is Coacoochee?" |
4546 | Major W. T. Sherman: Will you accept the chief clerkship of the War Department? |
4546 | Mason said to me,"What is that?" |
4546 | Member of Congress?" |
4546 | Mr. Lincoln, who was still standing, said,"Threatened to shoot you?" |
4546 | Of parties claiming foreign protection? |
4546 | Offering the flask to his uncle, he said:"You''ve had a hard day of it; wo n''t you refresh yourself?" |
4546 | Often"Johnny"would call:"Well, Yank, when are you coming into town?" |
4546 | Others say:"What are we to do? |
4546 | Pausing awhile, and watching the operations of this man roasting his corn, he said,"What are you doing?" |
4546 | Renick said,"What do you want with General Fremont?" |
4546 | Sherman said to me:"Admiral, how could you make such a remark to McClernand? |
4546 | Should his request be granted, who would you like as his successor? |
4546 | Should we allow them to escape, etc.? |
4546 | So that among the younger officers the query was very natural,"Who the devil is Governor of California?" |
4546 | So that the only questions that remained were, would he surrender at Raleigh? |
4546 | Some say:"I have such a one sick at my house; who will wait on them when I am gone?" |
4546 | State in what manner you would rather live--whether scattered among the whites, or in colonies by yourselves? |
4546 | State what you understand by slavery, and the freedom that was to be given by the President''s proclamation? |
4546 | State what, in your opinion, is the best way to enlist colored men as soldiers? |
4546 | The Governor knocked at the door, and on inquiry from inside"Who''s there?" |
4546 | The next was,"What are WE to do?" |
4546 | Then followed the question,"Is Fort McAllister taken?" |
4546 | This being so, how is it possible for the people still here( mostly women and children) to find any shelter? |
4546 | This feature was more than acceptable to the parents at times, for how else could they so thoroughly learn all the neighborhood gossip? |
4546 | We then returned to Benicia, and Wool''s first question was,"What luck?" |
4546 | What can I do for you?" |
4546 | What signified the terms to them, so long as we obtained the actual surrender of people who only wanted a good opportunity to give up gracefully? |
4546 | What was to be done with the rebel armies when defeated? |
4546 | When ground is owned by parties who have gone south, and have leased the ground to parties now in the city who own the improvements on the ground? |
4546 | When he did speak it was to ask:"Grant, how many wolves do you think there are in that pack?" |
4546 | When houses are occupied and the owner has gone south, leaving an agent to collect rent for his benefit? |
4546 | When houses are owned by loyal citizens, but are unoccupied? |
4546 | When movable property is found in stores that are closed? |
4546 | When parties owning houses have gone south, and the tenant has given his notes for the rent in advance? |
4546 | When parties who occupy the house are creditors of the owner, who has gone south? |
4546 | When the owner has gone south, and parties here hold liens on the property and are collecting the rents to satisfy their liens? |
4546 | When the owner lives in town, and refuses to take the oath of allegiance? |
4546 | When the tenant has expended several months''rent in repairs on the house? |
4546 | Where are you?" |
4546 | Who ever supposed they would come away down here in Alabama?" |
4546 | Who have prompted him? |
4546 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
4546 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
4546 | Why not attack at once? |
4546 | Why was this, or why was all mention of any field of duty for the head of the army left out of the army regulations? |
4546 | Wo n''t you speak your mind freely on this question of slavery, that so agitates the land? |
4546 | said Mr. Lincoln,"how are they getting along down there?" |
4546 | said a listener,"do n''t you know that old Sherman carries a duplicate tunnel along?" |
4546 | where are they to come from?" |
4546 | will you work? |
39735 | Are these facts consistent with Earl Russell''s assertions? 39735 But how is it that at present the fields are left uncultivated and all agricultural business seems to be entirely neglected? |
39735 | Colonel Sykes.--''By whom?'' 39735 To what case does this allude? |
39735 | What, on the other hand, is the state of the country on this side of the Ta- tsing lines? 39735 _ Second._--Can the Ti- pings form a Government with which foreign Powers can treat? |
39735 | ''And what about those in the country?'' |
39735 | ''Are there any special laws or commands connected with the dynasty?'' |
39735 | ''But is not this the case with a great number of your adherents?'' |
39735 | ''Can you read?'' |
39735 | ''Can you repeat the doxology of the Heavenly Father?'' |
39735 | ''Do you know the New Testament?'' |
39735 | ''Have we ever broken faith with foreigners? |
39735 | ''How can you expect to go to heaven? |
39735 | ''In all the public offices is care taken to instruct the soldiers and civilians connected with them?'' |
39735 | ''Now,''I said,''how is this command observed by you, seeing that so much cruelty and wickedness are practised by your brethren all around?'' |
39735 | ''Was he not afraid of being wounded or killed?'' |
39735 | ''Well, but suppose you should be killed, what then?'' |
39735 | ''What book does he use?'' |
39735 | ''What does he in the way of instructing his people?'' |
39735 | ''What great work did Christ do?'' |
39735 | ''What, notwithstanding their adherence to the dynasty, and fighting under the same banners as yourself?'' |
39735 | ''When did you join the dynasty?'' |
39735 | ''Who instructed you in these things?'' |
39735 | ''Who is the Heavenly Brother?'' |
39735 | And if the disciplined troops do this with impunity, what can you think if the non- disciplined do it? |
39735 | And where are these roads leading? |
39735 | And who would be so oblivious of merit as not to do them reverence when they caught him? |
39735 | As principle has nothing to do with the policy pursued in China, why should it elsewhere? |
39735 | At this moment P---- hailed me:"I have covered the mandarin; shall I shoot him? |
39735 | Besides, is not the vile pirate an enemy of all mankind? |
39735 | But was there during the revolutionary struggle in France no mutual killing of the opposing parties of Frenchmen? |
39735 | But what could these miserably armed men effect against the hundreds of perfectly equipped Europeans pouring over their shattered walls? |
39735 | But what has been the course pursued by Russia with regard to that which is loosely and inaccurately termed the Ti- ping revolt? |
39735 | Can anything more dreadful than the state of these unhappy patriots be imagined? |
39735 | Can this be called a"blasphemous and immoral"basis of religion? |
39735 | Did it prove that Cromwell was neither a general nor an administrator? |
39735 | Did that prove that the English noblemen and gentlemen who first headed that rebellion were unfit to establish a government? |
39735 | Do you ask how this our body Is to attain to length of years? |
39735 | Does Colonel Gordon, R.E., call this"observing the rules of warfare as practised among foreign nations,"according to the proviso of Sir F. Bruce? |
39735 | Does Sir F. Bruce, after the massacres at Wu- see, Kar- sing,& c., still term Gordon''s conduct"a service in favour of humanity"? |
39735 | Edkins, John, Medhurst, Muirhead,& c., referred to and quoted in this work? |
39735 | Have we ever retaliated the enmity of England and France?'' |
39735 | He asked the Chung- wang"why he had ventured within the limits of Consular Ports;"and received this reply:--"Why? |
39735 | He wanted to know in what single instance had our treaty rights or our trade been in danger? |
39735 | He will be very sorry to resort to force(? |
39735 | He wished to know any instance in which either the property or the life of a British subject had been placed in danger?" |
39735 | His name is most honourable, To be handed down through distant ages; Who was this Hwuy, That he dared to alter it? |
39735 | His reward would be a sorry heart(? |
39735 | How came it that General Brown was either ignorant of, or suppressed the fact? |
39735 | How did Gordon learn that fact, or that story? |
39735 | How did the fact come to be kept so secret from the public? |
39735 | I said that I wanted to make the Imperialists and rebels good friends(? |
39735 | I told him I was going to the Tai- hu; and he said,"_ Why not_ wait? |
39735 | I told him I was going to the Tai- hu; and he said,''Why not wait? |
39735 | In reply, I ask if it be so, in how far do the Taepings differ in that respect from the Russians, French, and Americans? |
39735 | In what respect do you think the trade injurious to us in our relations with China? |
39735 | Is it not a most shameful perversion of the American nationality? |
39735 | Is not faithfulness bought and sold in''Vanity Fair,''and should that not be looked for in the conduct of a-- British soldier?" |
39735 | Is not this a time for foreign governments to come forward and arrange the terms? |
39735 | Is the peaceful and civil reception the English get from these nations the result of pure friendliness or of policy? |
39735 | Is this British justice? |
39735 | Is this not excellent? |
39735 | Is this not the best plan? |
39735 | Is_ this_ neutrality? |
39735 | It was for such a state of things as this, was it, that Gordon gave his talents? |
39735 | Let me ask you that before my Lord settled at Kiang- nan, could you get admittance into the interior? |
39735 | Let us ask, whence these great and glorious changes? |
39735 | Mr. Adkins goes on to say"that the impostor(?) |
39735 | Shall the four hundred millions of China remain in their state of darkness and death,_ because of the worldliness and deadness_ of the people of God?" |
39735 | The only other excuse of any moment is the"_ might_ injure trade"one; but is that to be considered a sufficient justification? |
39735 | They did so, and were well paid for the affair; but is this neutrality? |
39735 | Was it for this that English guns had been loaned by the representatives of the British people? |
39735 | Was it for_ this_ that Englishmen fought? |
39735 | Was it for_ this_ that the''first nation of the world''and the two_ Scotchmen_, Gordon and Dr. Macartney, had fought? |
39735 | Was_ this_ neutrality? |
39735 | We have seen that in the preceding debate Lord Palmerston plainly and frankly declared:--"We interfered in the affairs of China; and why?" |
39735 | Well, why then do they persecute Christian converts so that their lives are in jeopardy? |
39735 | What about the"immense loss"of the other version, in which they do such heroic deeds to capture the palace? |
39735 | What are our Channel fleets, our fortifications, and our 150,000 volunteers for? |
39735 | What can there be in_ British_ officers that they should be so repugnant to the Deputy Viceroy? |
39735 | What course did he pursue? |
39735 | What did they see? |
39735 | What do the starving Chinamen above mentioned say? |
39735 | What else have we got to look to for the re- establishment of a government having power to preserve order? |
39735 | What is the duty of an elder brother''s wife, And what her most appropriate deportment? |

39735 | What was his bidding? |
39735 | What will the British public think of the following account of the behaviour of Captain Dew''s allies when re- established in the city? |
39735 | What will those who falsely accuse the Ti- pings of devastating and destroying say to this? |
39735 | What would such manner of warfare be denominated in Europe? |
39735 | When the major returns to Scotland, will any of his''canny''countrymen ask impertinent questions as to the source of the''siller''? |
39735 | When will all Manchoos, Morrill tariff men,& c., learn this lesson? |
39735 | Where does Dr. Rennie get the interpolation from? |
39735 | Whether circumcised or uncircumcised, Who is not produced by God? |
39735 | Who can prevent us from committing such acts, if we choose? |
39735 | Who has ever seen an Imperialist official do the like? |
39735 | Who is responsible for all this misery and loss of life? |
39735 | Who other than England? |
39735 | Who then with common sense and natural patriotism would not strike his breast and weep? |
39735 | Who, after this, shall talk of_ Ti- ping_ cruelties? |
39735 | Who, then, proved to be the devastator and marauder; the uncivilized Chinese, or the civilized Christian? |
39735 | Why did he not make it his business to see that the assurances which he had given to the Nar- wang were carried out? |
39735 | Why did not Gordon mention this important circumstance in his letter to Sir Frederic advising His Excellency that he had again taken the field? |
39735 | Why not interfere in America for the sake of trade and to prevent so- called rebels from collecting duties? |
39735 | Why should a soldier of fortune not make a fortune? |
39735 | Why was Major Gordon absent? |
39735 | Would any_ other_ nation have borne these outrages for years, as we have done, without making reprisal? |
39735 | Would they attack us if they felt sure they could do so with advantage? |
39735 | [ 14] Did it grieve the philanthropic Admiral"much,"I wonder, to massacre them in his raids from Shanghae? |
39735 | [ 73] How came it that Mr. Acting- Consul Markham in his letter to Sir Frederic announcing the reconciliation, was silent on the point? |
39735 | _ The Hymn says_:-- The whole world is one family, and all men are brethren, How can they be permitted to kill and destroy one another? |
39735 | how could one great man, without means, save a people, a sacred cause, and a city invested by 100,000 savage foemen? |
41528 | And you do n''t know where he is? |
41528 | Can you write? |
41528 | Did he also tell you to wear ball and chain? |
41528 | Do n''t you know me? |
41528 | Do you know anything about the country around, and about the City? |
41528 | Have you seen Col. Aiken; does he know you? |
41528 | How do you do, Captain Coleman? 41528 How will you get across?" |
41528 | How would you manage? |
41528 | Is that all? |
41528 | Sergeant, ca n''t you teach me how? |
41528 | Sergeant, where is the man? |
41528 | Well, how did you come out? |
41528 | Well, you do n''t believe that I would swear to a lie? |
41528 | What can I do for you? |
41528 | What for, Colson? |
41528 | What have you arrested him for? |
41528 | What have you done for a living? |
41528 | What is your name? |
41528 | What will it be worth? |
41528 | Where is the axe? |
41528 | Who are you? |
41528 | Who gave you the orders? |
41528 | Who lives here? |
41528 | Why did you not cut the wood? |
41528 | Why do n''t you call the Corporal of the Guard, and get relief? |
41528 | You know-- who did it? |
41528 | --"What did you do it for?" |
41528 | --"What is your name-- what Company do you belong to, and what is your regiment?" |
41528 | --"You had your fun, am I not entitled to have some?" |
41528 | A soldier on his way home? |
41528 | After awhile my corporal came for the wood;"Where is the wood?" |
41528 | After passing greetings of the day I asked,"Where are the folks?" |
41528 | All right Tom, how are you? |
41528 | And you have been fighting us for over four years and now come and ask me for a favor? |
41528 | Are there any others behind? |
41528 | Are you not from Emanuel county, Georgia?" |
41528 | Barnes remarked"What in the world is that?" |
41528 | By whose orders? |
41528 | Can I get about five gallons? |
41528 | Can you tell me how far it is from here to the enemy''s camp? |
41528 | Did they stop at that? |
41528 | Do I understand that you refuse to comply? |
41528 | Do you know him? |
41528 | Do you know where they carried him to? |
41528 | Do you mean it as a challenge? |
41528 | Do you think you can buy up provisions for the hospital? |
41528 | Harvey? |
41528 | Have you some money? |
41528 | He answered, Did you not get three days rations? |
41528 | He answered,"Well, what will you do?" |
41528 | He exclaimed,"My God, why did you not kill him?" |
41528 | He replied, What country are you from? |
41528 | He said Yes, what will you have? |
41528 | He said, Can you write? |
41528 | He said, Do you know the penalty, sir? |
41528 | He said, Have you a horse? |
41528 | He said, How much can you pull at a load? |
41528 | He said, What are you going to do? |
41528 | He said, What is your name? |
41528 | He said, Yes; what will you have? |
41528 | He said,"Ike, what luck?" |
41528 | He turned, saying, you speak to me? |
41528 | Hines, being very intimate with him, I said, Bill, you want to have some fun? |
41528 | How did he get here? |
41528 | How do you like New York? |
41528 | How far behind are we? |
41528 | How far do you live from here? |
41528 | How far? |
41528 | How is it now? |
41528 | How long had you been in this country before the war broke out? |
41528 | How long have you been in the army? |
41528 | How long since you have heard from home?" |
41528 | How many of the First Georgia are here? |
41528 | How so Bill? |
41528 | How was that? |
41528 | How would you like to wagon for me at$ 15.00 a month and rations? |
41528 | I answered, Are you the commander of these troops? |
41528 | I at once went to headquarters and met Lieutenant Howell and said,"Do you intend to make me finish the penalty you imposed on me?" |
41528 | I certainly do; is it for this which I am arrested? |
41528 | I finally applied at a shop where a dutchman was foreman, I was willing to work at any price for I had to live but do you know what they did? |
41528 | I gave the military salute and started towards the door, when he called me saying,"Do you ever drink anything?" |
41528 | I humbly remarked,"Will that do?" |
41528 | I knew it was against the orders to have a fire at the outpost on vidette duty so I said,"Who told you to have a fire? |
41528 | I knocked again when a lady''s feeble voice answered, Who is there? |
41528 | I related what had passed between Lieutenant and I. William Harmon, then said,"Did you tell him that I helped you stick it up?" |
41528 | I remarked, Are you the agent? |
41528 | I remarked,"General, had I not better let them advance somewhat, so as not to waste too much ammunition?" |
41528 | I said to him, What are they worth? |
41528 | I said to him, What troops are those on the right hand side up the hill? |
41528 | I said, Do you know the man; would you recognize him again if you were to meet him? |
41528 | I said, Have you discharged the fellow who did it? |
41528 | I said, How much will you give me for it? |
41528 | I said, Is this the best you can do for me? |
41528 | I said, Mr. Stroter have you any whiskey on hand? |
41528 | I said, Perry, what are you doing? |
41528 | I said, This is Governor Brown? |
41528 | I said, What has happened? |
41528 | I said, What is the matter with you, are you scared? |
41528 | I said, Yes, would you like to have a drink? |
41528 | I said, poor fellow, are you wounded badly? |
41528 | I said, well, our arrangement suits me; what is the hotel keeper''s name? |
41528 | I said,"Corporal, what is to be done?" |
41528 | I said,"Haywood, do you know what he writes in that letter?" |
41528 | I said,"Is it?" |
41528 | I said,"Walker, would you leave your post to be court- martialed, and reported as a coward? |
41528 | I saw Mr. Bothwell; after the usual greeting I said, What is cotton selling at? |
41528 | I showed him the tree;"Is that all you have done?" |
41528 | I still remained standing in the road, watching any move they might make, when one of them spoke, saying, Will you let me come to you? |
41528 | I walked up to them, asking, What troops do you belong to? |
41528 | In a brisk manner, said,"What is that you have taken?" |
41528 | Is it a wonder that the men of the South became desperate and used desperate remedies to oust more desperate diseases? |
41528 | Is this the hotel? |
41528 | Major Roland addressed himself to me"What can I do for you?" |
41528 | Mr. Lyons then spoke up,"Well, what are you going to do about it?" |
41528 | My dear reader, do n''t you believe we were glad when day broke on us? |
41528 | My first impulse was, can I make it across, or must I surrender? |
41528 | Noting a keystone that I wore on my watch chain he said, I see you are a Mason? |
41528 | On our way to the basement he asked me, What State? |
41528 | On the first of May, 1862, Sergeant E. P. Howell came to me saying:"Herman, how would you like to help me make up an artillery Company? |
41528 | On your way home? |
41528 | Others took up the word all along the line of"How are you Bill Grimes?" |
41528 | Presently one of the Federals hollered over,"Say, Johnnie, do n''t you want some coffee?" |
41528 | Put out that fire, sirs, do n''t you know it is strictly prohibited?" |
41528 | Recognizing me, he said,"Hermann, you here?" |
41528 | Salter said, Hermann, what will you take for this horse? |
41528 | She said to me,"Poor fellow, are you wounded?" |
41528 | So he peremptorily said, What will you have? |
41528 | The Colonel smiled and said,"What did you do with the axe? |
41528 | The lady of the hotel came to me saying,"Are you wounded?" |
41528 | The other one was silent, I remarked, what do you say? |
41528 | There we stood, not a word was spoken above a whisper, when we heard a regular snarl close by, then Barnes said,"What is that?" |
41528 | This is a good mule you have got; will you sell her? |
41528 | Turning to Mr. Einstein, Do you know this man; can I rely on him? |
41528 | Turning to me he said, You belong to Walker''s Brigade? |
41528 | Turning to me he said, where are you going? |
41528 | Well Ike, old fellow, how are you getting along? |
41528 | Well did you not get it? |
41528 | Well, what are you going to do? |
41528 | Were you forced into the army or did you volunteer? |
41528 | What brought you here, said he? |
41528 | What did you do it for? |
41528 | What do you ask? |
41528 | What do you say? |
41528 | What good would it do to implicate you?" |
41528 | What is all this assemblage here doing? |
41528 | What is the matter, Bill? |
41528 | What is your name? |
41528 | What kind of money? |
41528 | What route are you going? |
41528 | What time will the boat leave for Columbus? |
41528 | What was in the letter, what did he say? |
41528 | What will you give me? |
41528 | What will you take for it? |
41528 | What''s the matter I said, seeing everybody catching their horses? |
41528 | When I told him that one of the men were sick, he said"You see that puppy, is he not the finest you have ever seen?" |
41528 | When the same fellow called again, Hello you negro, I told you to come here, did you hear me? |
41528 | Where are they?" |
41528 | Where are we going? |
41528 | Where are you going? |
41528 | Where are you going?" |
41528 | Which way? |
41528 | Who told you so? |
41528 | Who wrote them? |
41528 | Who''s that you got there? |
41528 | Why did n''t Jack eat his supper? |
41528 | You say he is a good saddle horse? |
41528 | You say that would not amount to much with what we have to oppose them? |
41528 | You will also give me my dinner and fill my haversack with provisions to last me home? |
41528 | [ Illustration:"Madam, have you spilled your vegetables?" |
41528 | are you hurt? |
41528 | says I? |
41528 | what did you tell them?" |
60315 | And the revolution there? |
60315 | But if even such small improvements had not resulted from the Revolution,I argued,"what purpose has it served?" |
60315 | But what can the Government do in the face of the food shortage? |
60315 | Do you expect to get the documents out? |
60315 | Has the Revolution given you nothing? |
60315 | Have not their tactics and methods been imposed on the Bolsheviki by intervention and blockade? |
60315 | Instinctive Anarchists? |
60315 | Is not the theft of flour the cause of the strict surveillance? |
60315 | Is there a recreation room, a place where they can eat or drink their tea and inhale a bit of fresh air? |
60315 | Protest, to whom? |
60315 | These people come to Russia just to look us over,one of the Red Army men said;"do they know anything about us or are they interested in how we live? |
60315 | Thousands of Russian working women have no more, and why should I? |
60315 | We have been compelled to mobilize an army to fight our external enemies why not an army to fight our worst internal enemy, hunger? 60315 Well,_ batyushka_, how is it with you?" |
60315 | What am I to do? |
60315 | What do you mean by morally defective? |
60315 | What is this? |
60315 | Where do these unfortunates come from? |
60315 | Why have n''t you raised your voice against these evils, against this machine that is sapping the life blood of the Revolution? |
60315 | Why should they not see the true state of Russia? 60315 Would not the Tcheka prefer to confiscate the goods of the big delicatessen and fruit stores on the Kreschatik?" |
60315 | You know of the insurgent movement in America against our public school method of education, the work done by Professor Dewey and others? |
60315 | You surely do not mean the American public school system? |
60315 | You want to know my views on the present situation and my attitude toward the Bolsheviki? |
60315 | And Shatov? |
60315 | And his scheme-- was it the Revolution? |
60315 | And our children? |
60315 | And then, was not Lenin also guilty of the same methods? |
60315 | And who will rest in these homes? |
60315 | But how can they get more work out of us? |
60315 | But what is this strange writing on the wall? |
60315 | But what was I to tell them, and would they believe me if I did? |
60315 | But, then-- had not Zorin told me that capital punishment had been abolished in Russia? |
60315 | Could such a condition of affairs be avoided in a revolutionary period and in a country so little developed industrially as Russia? |
60315 | Did I"intend to remain a free bird"was one of his first questions, or would I be willing to join him in his work? |
60315 | Did he not fear I would report him? |
60315 | Did not Zorin say that capital punishment had been abolished? |
60315 | Did the American woman believe in free motherhood and was she familiar with the subject of birth control? |
60315 | Did you see any shortage of food there? |
60315 | Do the visitors know anything about us?" |
60315 | Free speech, free press, the spiritual achievements of centuries, what were they to this man? |
60315 | Had I misunderstood the meaning and nature of revolution? |
60315 | Had the Red Dawn broken into the narrow lives of these ascetics? |
60315 | Had the Revolution penetrated even the walls of superstition? |
60315 | How can they be blamed? |
60315 | How could they be guilty of the terrible things charged against them? |
60315 | How did these things get to the markets? |
60315 | How explain this astonishing lack of response? |
60315 | How soon will the Revolution be there? |
60315 | How, then, could the Bolsheviki maintain themselves in power? |
60315 | I had never called upon the police before, I informed him; why should I do so in revolutionary Russia? |
60315 | If the Revolution really had to support so much brutality and crime, what was the purpose of the Revolution, after all? |
60315 | Is that what you mean?" |
60315 | Is there any change in the world? |
60315 | Look at the bread,"he said, holding up a black crust;"can we live on that? |
60315 | Occasionally they sought to mask their killings by pretending a"misunderstanding,"for does n''t the end justify all means? |
60315 | One of his first questions was,"When could the Social Revolution be expected in America?" |
60315 | Or is it all an eternal recurrence of man''s inhumanity to man? |
60315 | Or was it the political machine which the Bolsheviki have created-- is that the force which is crushing the Revolution? |
60315 | Or was their great need of European help father to their wish? |
60315 | Was I to join this tragic procession, submit to the political yoke? |
60315 | Was it different in America? |
60315 | Was not violence inevitable in a revolution, and was it not imposed upon the Bolsheviki by the Interventionists? |
60315 | Was their judgment so faulty because they had been cut off from Europe and America so long? |
60315 | Were not initiative and freedom essential? |
60315 | Were the conditions I found inevitable-- the callous indifference to human life, the terrorism, the waste and agony of it all? |
60315 | Were these really nuns? |
60315 | What about persecution and terror-- were all the horrors inevitable, or was there some fault in Bolshevism itself? |
60315 | What are the Workers''and Peasants''Soviets doing? |
60315 | What did it mean? |
60315 | What except moral defection could result from such a heritage?" |
60315 | What greater service could one render the Russian people? |
60315 | What had happened? |
60315 | What is the Communist Government doing for these unfortunates? |
60315 | What relation could there be between Tammany Hall, Boss Murphy, and the Soviet Government? |
60315 | What was his opinion? |
60315 | What was that machine? |
60315 | Who defeated Denikin and the other counter- revolutionary generals? |
60315 | Who directed its movements? |
60315 | Who else but the people, the peasants and the workers, made it impossible for the German and Austrian army to remain in the Ukraine? |
60315 | Who triumphed over Koltchak and Yudenitch? |
60315 | Who was buying the finery of the past, and where did the purchasing power come from? |
60315 | Why are we kept here?" |
60315 | Why be surprised now?" |
60315 | Why did Zorin resort to lies? |
60315 | Why did not Shatov come to meet us? |
60315 | Why did you come to starving Russia?" |
60315 | Why had he been silent so long? |
60315 | Why should one have to give up his freedom, especially in educational work? |
60315 | Why should they have to gather in secret and in such a place? |
60315 | Why should they not learn how the Russian people live?" |
60315 | Why this shooting? |
60315 | Would I have believed any adverse criticism before I came to Russia? |
60315 | Would he see me? |
60315 | Would it ever come to Russia? |
60315 | Would she see me? |
60315 | Would the watchmaker take fifty pounds? |
60315 | Would we join in the work? |
60315 | Zinoviev, Radek, Zorin, Ravitch, and many others I had learned to know-- could they in the name of an ideal lie, defame, torture, kill? |
60315 | is that what we made the Revolution for, or was it to do away with masters? |
60315 | who is it calls for such a luxury?" |
5633 | All right, then, is there any reason why the news wo n''t wait for the weekly? |
5633 | Americanized? |
5633 | And it never happened-- any of it? |
5633 | And the Eager Soul? |
5633 | And the French officer de liason between the French army and the American ambulance, what of him? |
5633 | And the ending-- will you have a happy ending? |
5633 | Any of your relatives in the war? |
5633 | Any one hurt, Singer? |
5633 | Are n''t the visions of the young men, and the dreams of the old always happy? 5633 But Germany?" |
5633 | Did you leave the shell hole? |
5633 | For both? |
5633 | Fried chicken, do n''t you suppose? |
5633 | Has her hair slopped over yet? |
5633 | Have n''t you heard-- haven''t you heard? |
5633 | How much,he asked,"will these be?" |
5633 | How much? |
5633 | Hurt badly? |
5633 | Liberties rather than privileges? |
5633 | Liberties? |
5633 | Mrs. Chessman-- this is practically her hospital]"Nice sort?" |
5633 | My-- what? |
5633 | On leave? |
5633 | Only bran? |
5633 | Say, will you interpret for us? |
5633 | Sprecken sie Deutsch? |
5633 | Then he did it"Not that fellow? |
5633 | Well, how? |
5633 | What is that music? |
5633 | What odds are you giving now, Bill? |
5633 | What part of the states do you Canadians come from? |
5633 | What''s this land worth an acre? |
5633 | Where were her voices? |
5633 | Where you whistled the''Meditation from Thais,''in the moonlight? |
5633 | Where( read this line with feeling and emphasis)"is the abri?" |
5633 | Who was this Gilded Youth? |
5633 | Who-- that man? 5633 Why,"asked Henry of an English speaking bystander,"do n''t you put that in your daily newspaper; why keep up the old custom?" |
5633 | Why? |
5633 | You mean our ambulance boy who came over on the boat with you-- the multimillionaire? |
5633 | Your husband, there? |
5633 | Allen?" |
5633 | And Henry, still in pursuit of useful social information, insisted:"Well, are they as nice in the war zone as they are-- on the boat?" |
5633 | And he asked,"Have you heard the news from the big base hospital?" |
5633 | And is n''t she a peach; and does n''t she kind of warm your heart and make up for the hardship of your youth?" |
5633 | And one child edged up to him in awe and asked,"O sir, were you indeed born in a manger?" |
5633 | And when he thanked us for our trouble, Henry asked again:"Did she tell you that the Gilded Youth was there at her hospital?" |
5633 | And who could make a currant tart without these? |
5633 | Any children?" |
5633 | As he cranked up his car he asked rather too casually,"Have you seen our friend from the boat-- the pretty nurse?" |
5633 | Bill,"sighed Henry,"what would you give if you could talk like that-- again?" |
5633 | Bill-- Bill, you wo n''t ever tell this in Wichita, will you?" |
5633 | But from me, drowsily, came this:"Henry-- do you suppose she will get around to that slapping tonight she promised him on the boat? |
5633 | But with the men all gone what shall we do when we want to be petted?" |
5633 | But--"THE GILDED YOUTH:"Well, Auntie-- would you mind telling me how--?" |
5633 | Did he make no warning sign?" |
5633 | Did you ever have a red- headed sweetheart in those olden golden days, Henry?" |
5633 | Do you suppose they are going to leave after the war? |
5633 | Does that not make them stand by the shop instead of working against it? |
5633 | For his wounded hand? |
5633 | For the Prussians? |
5633 | For their Babylonian philosophy? |
5633 | From me:"Is Mr. Allen in his room?" |
5633 | From the hall boy:"He is, sir; shall I go for him, sir?" |
5633 | Have a cigarette?" |
5633 | He likes to distinguish between himself and his wound and is likely to reply to the doctor any fine morning,"Me? |
5633 | Her strong fine face lighted with something kind enough for a smile, as she answered:"Could n''t you go out and see him? |
5633 | How can they make love in such a place?" |
5633 | How did they record local history? |
5633 | How do they know about the scandal? |
5633 | How do they know how to vote? |
5633 | How often do you fellows polish Fritzie off and clean up the trench?" |
5633 | Is education expensive in England?" |
5633 | Is n''t it a developed middle class feeling that accepts the shop as''their kind of people''now?" |
5633 | Is n''t that so?'' |
5633 | It is told of a Canadian who came across a squad of Germans with their hands up that he asked:"How many are you?" |
5633 | It makes you into somebody else... you''ve died so many times you''re like a walking corpse... isn''t that just how you feel?'' |
5633 | Looking casually at it Henry asked:"Shall we require one of those?" |
5633 | My hand was on the elevator button jabbing it fiercely, and my lips replied,"Yes-- yes-- say-- Do you know whether Mr. Allen is in our room? |
5633 | Shall I get him?" |
5633 | She listened to us for a moment, then hopped aboard our talk like a boy flipping a street car:"Kansas-- eh? |
5633 | So Henry asked:"You received your letter?" |
5633 | So I cleared my throat and said:''Well Medill, do n''t you think we''d better excuse ourselves to his majesty and go?'' |
5633 | THE GILDED ONE:"But you never mentioned it to me?" |
5633 | The points break off, or are worn off-- what difference does it make? |
5633 | The supreme councils of the Allies-- what are they? |
5633 | They both shouted,''Oh, is Madame an American?'' |
5633 | WE:"Now, boys, does that always happen? |
5633 | WE:"Well, how often?" |
5633 | WE:"What''s this story about you Canadians not taking any prisoners?" |
5633 | What did he care for the war? |
5633 | What if your house and mine had ten or twenty fine soldiers in it, and we were away and our wives and daughters were there alone? |
5633 | What were gardens made for in this drab earth, if not for sanctuaries of lovers? |
5633 | What would happen in Wichita and Emporia-- or back East in Goshen, New York, or out West in Fresno or Tonapah? |
5633 | When it occurred to me to ask:"What does your husband do for a living?" |
5633 | White?" |
5633 | White?" |
5633 | White?"] |
5633 | Who do you think is in the trenches now... is the bourgeois class? |
5633 | Why are you so loose in your discipline? |
5633 | Why do n''t the Americans GET in it if they are going to? |
5633 | Why do n''t you treat your officers with more respect?" |
5633 | Why not then let the story of this war and its barbarities die with this generation? |
5633 | Why ruin it?" |
5633 | Why should I? |
5633 | Why should we for ever breed hate into the heart of our people to grow eternally into war?" |
5633 | You go ask Mrs. Ritz if she will furnish soap for twenty?" |
5633 | [ Illustration with caption:"Col- o- nel, will you please carry my books?"] |
5633 | [ Illustration:"What part of the States do you Canadians come from?"] |
43124 | Ah, yes,I said, as though that was the place from which one naturally expected one''s friends to be arriving,"and what business took you there?" |
43124 | And no doctors near? |
43124 | And none in the village? |
43124 | Any rooms available later, in case of need, in the inn? |
43124 | But is there any alternative way of getting home? |
43124 | But would we pay for it? |
43124 | Can we see him and make arrangements? |
43124 | Did n''t you mean to go with your column? |
43124 | Have you no clocks or watches? |
43124 | How deep is that snow? 43124 How do you do, Mrs. Stobart? |
43124 | How much bread? |
43124 | I never have anything the matter with me, and if a doctor passes me? 43124 Is n''t that wood?" |
43124 | Ja, Maika? |
43124 | May I rely on this being done? |
43124 | Now, Colonel, where is it to be? |
43124 | Should we be of more use here or at Jelendo? |
43124 | Was there a large population who would be likely to avail themselves of the dispensary? |
43124 | Were they asleep? |
43124 | What does it say? |
43124 | Who was in charge? |
43124 | Why on earth,he asked at last,"are you all eating separately?" |
43124 | Why wo n''t you take it? 43124 Yes, but how are we to know when it is four hours?" |
43124 | Yes, by all means; first or second class? |
43124 | Yes,I replied, also complacently,"and one day Gospodine Svesternik will come and ask,''where are my pigs?'' |
43124 | A broken leg, even a broken neck, more or less, of what consequence would such trifles be in the general havoc? |
43124 | And do n''t you know that ours is the only column that has lost no men from desertion? |
43124 | And then, at last, we saw ahead of us, lights-- of Medua? |
43124 | And to the left of this, apart, a collection of lights like those from the cabins of a big vessel, and above, were those the mast- head signal lights? |
43124 | And what about the nerve of the woman chauffeur? |
43124 | And what about the water? |
43124 | At this last moment was our equipment to be destroyed and our work to be stopped? |
43124 | Autocratic government is giving place to democratic government, on earth; may not our view of an autocratic God also be doomed to disappear? |
43124 | But could other words have added to the pathos? |
43124 | But had they, I asked, at least, during their time in Berani, secured bread and hay for men and cattle? |
43124 | But here we were now, and what should we do? |
43124 | But how should I go? |
43124 | But how were we to move the patients? |
43124 | But is there glory on this bloodstained earth? |
43124 | But the elder girl was already useful, and I wondered if the childless woman would keep a very vigorous look- out for that lost mother? |
43124 | But was woman incapable of taking a responsible share in national defence? |
43124 | But what form should woman''s share in national defence assume? |
43124 | But what on earth was to be done with the spoon? |
43124 | But why crave an all- powerful God? |
43124 | But why should anyone fear responsibilities that come in the course of work? |
43124 | Can anyone be all- powerful unless he exists without conditions? |
43124 | Could I not hear that the Bulgarian guns sounded louder and louder as they drew nearer every hour? |
43124 | Could the wisdom of Woman bring us to a worse abyss than this? |
43124 | Could they, I wondered, feel that this was happening? |
43124 | Could they, we asked, have a more practical proof of sympathy than that? |
43124 | Could this be believed? |
43124 | Could we dare to think of home, and of those we loved, from whom, during three long months, we had had no tidings? |
43124 | Could we dare to think, for the first time, of rest from cold and hunger, treks and columns? |
43124 | Could we help him in any way? |
43124 | Could we-- that is, could the Army-- possibly escape? |
43124 | Did n''t I know St. Ilyia? |
43124 | Did they wish to make it more difficult? |
43124 | Do you understand?" |
43124 | Do you understand?" |
43124 | For a moment I was in trepidation; what was coming next? |
43124 | For what were our troubles compared to the sufferings of this driven nation? |
43124 | Had I not come from afar to help their country, and would they be less patriotic than the stranger from another land? |
43124 | Had these arrived too late? |
43124 | Had we missed the road in the dark, and were we about to stumble into the Lake of Scutari? |
43124 | Has there ever been a time during the last five hundred years when Serbia could rejoice with a light heart? |
43124 | He asked the question which I always dreaded,"Where are the English?" |
43124 | He was much enjoying his dinner, and the Colonel said,"I expect you would like to stay in this hospital half a year?" |
43124 | He was very excited, and asked why in the name of-- I think he said Heaven-- we had encamped in this place? |
43124 | How could I help asking myself where, in all this hell, is God? |
43124 | How could I help loving these men? |
43124 | How could I help sharing some of this grievous load of sorrow? |
43124 | How could even their enemies have painted these simple- minded, clean- living peasant soldiers, as fierce, fighting- loving savages? |
43124 | How could he have transported them, and where could he have taken them? |
43124 | How could mountains be beautiful which enclosed such sorrow? |
43124 | How could their air invigorate, when it carried, not the scent of flowers, or the breath of the sea, but the stench of the unburied dead? |
43124 | How much did he want?" |
43124 | How much hay have you found?" |
43124 | How would the staff and their baggage then be carried? |
43124 | How, then, could I doubt? |
43124 | However desperate the remedy, must not the help of woman be hailed, to save life from the abyss? |
43124 | I asked who was St. Ilyia? |
43124 | I wondered what they were going to do, and I tried to remember the Serbian words for"What''s your business?" |
43124 | I would often stop her and ask hopefully,"Any grievances to- day?" |
43124 | In such drab surroundings, where did it get that colour? |
43124 | Is it a wonder that the Serbian peasant forgets to see the hand of God in all his suffering? |
43124 | Is it a wonder? |
43124 | Is man jealous of God, that he destroys God''s handiwork, and spares his own, when he runs amok? |
43124 | Is the God who withholds them-- is the God who is now permitting our European holocaust-- is He, in fact, all- powerful? |
43124 | Is there any school building handy in case of emergency weather in the coming autumn and winter months?" |
43124 | Is war perhaps another extravagant device of Nature; or is society, which encourages war, blindly copying Nature for the same end? |
43124 | Laughing, singing, acting, reading, playing cards, flirting, quarrelling-- how many were doing these things for the last time? |
43124 | Major Protitch explained our intention, and asked if there was much sickness amongst the people? |
43124 | Man has failed, but may not this be because the force required for the extinction of the flame, is not physical, but spiritual? |
43124 | May not all- powerfulness have to go the way of jealousy, anger, and all the other human attributes with which primitive man endowed his deity? |
43124 | May not the germs of human evolution be within the human soul, for us to develop or to neglect at will? |
43124 | Might the staff not enter this Land of Promise while I saw the Consul? |
43124 | Mrs. Stobart, why are you so late? |
43124 | Must I dip my fingers in it or drink it? |
43124 | No? |
43124 | Of all these doctors, nurses, orderlies, administrators, chauffeurs, interpreters, how many would return? |
43124 | One day we found a mouse''s nest, and a woman who heard us talking about it, asked us eagerly what we had done with the young mice? |
43124 | One should be taken and the other left? |
43124 | Or was heaven quite shut out by earth? |
43124 | Or was there another alternative? |
43124 | Or were the Albanians taking this easy opportunity of attacking convoys? |
43124 | Ought I to put it into the glass of water? |
43124 | Strange that when men symbolise religion they adopt the garb of women? |
43124 | The absorbing consideration still was,"should we meet the French and English before the Bulgars caught us up?" |
43124 | The priest then wanted to know if English clergymen might marry two wives? |
43124 | The priests thought it very strange that a clergyman should be a chauffeur; they asked if he was married? |
43124 | Their nation and their Army were impoverished by previous efforts; would it not now be wise to save their country from further devastations? |
43124 | Then came an exciting moment; were we to go towards Prizrend or Montenegro? |
43124 | There was no one to say"Poor dear, are you hurt?" |
43124 | To whom does it belong?" |
43124 | Towards what fate were each and all being borne? |
43124 | Up to now they had a splendid record of behaviour; would they not keep it unsullied to the end? |
43124 | Was anyone going to translate the speech for us? |
43124 | Was it a wonder that men also were lying dead, and dying, in hundreds by the roadside? |
43124 | Was it a wonder? |
43124 | Was it only we who were moving? |
43124 | Was my task an easy one? |
43124 | Was not the history of a gigantic crime against his nation revealed in that one word? |
43124 | Was our position, I wondered, another of the glories of war? |
43124 | Was she waiting for me to take another spoonful of jam? |
43124 | Was this the Serbia of which such grim accounts had reached us? |
43124 | Were the Bulgars closing in upon us in front? |
43124 | Were there still such things as stars? |
43124 | Were these also lost to him when Nish was captured by the enemy? |
43124 | Were they all dead? |
43124 | Were we after all to be beaten by that beastly"Nema"? |
43124 | Were we, as adjuncts of the Serbian Army, sailing to life or death, to victory or defeat? |
43124 | What fate would befall us, and those who were left behind, before we met-- if ever-- again? |
43124 | What has now become of them? |
43124 | Where did camp fires end and stars begin? |
43124 | Where else could I put it? |
43124 | Where was now the carpet- making industry? |
43124 | Where were the French and English troops? |
43124 | Where, he asked, could they go? |
43124 | Where, we asked each other, were the French and the English? |
43124 | Which of the two was the more truly civilised? |
43124 | Who could say that there was no woman''s movement in Serbia? |
43124 | Who would tend her, and the others, if she contracted the disease? |
43124 | Who''d be an archangel? |
43124 | Why are they withheld? |
43124 | Why should Turkish coffee, the only coffee that is invariably good, be always served in thimble- sized cups? |
43124 | Why should not the Serbians have acted as the Bulgarians had acted? |
43124 | Why should they not save their country from further invasion, avoid further conflict, and come to terms with Austria? |
43124 | Why should they? |
43124 | Why then talk of death as though it were an ending? |
43124 | Why"Allelujah!"? |
43124 | Why, and for whose benefit, should their beautiful land and their heroic people be further sacrificed? |
43124 | Will the day ever come, I wondered, when"the arrogance of the proud shall cease and the haughtiness of the terrible be laid low?" |
43124 | Will the time ever come when Serbian swords can be beaten into ploughshares, and their bayonets into pruning hooks? |
43124 | With"Dobro"on the tip of the tongue-- every tongue-- Serbian and English tongues alike, how could there be"confusion of tongues"? |
43124 | Woman has hitherto protected the concrete life of individuals; must she not now, in an enlarged sphere, also protect the abstract life of humankind? |
43124 | Woman may be less heavily handicapped in an attempt to understand it? |
43124 | Would Kievo ever come in sight? |
43124 | Would bread follow, or must I now take a spoonful of jam? |
43124 | Would he very kindly write a note for us to the Prefect? |
43124 | Would it soon be broken by a murderous sound echoing through the valley? |
43124 | Would our priest- chauffeur, who was sure to marry some day, be allowed to marry again if his first wife died? |
43124 | Would the Lord God not also condemn our practice? |
43124 | Would the lights of San Giovanni de Medua never come in view, and what should we find when we arrived? |
43124 | Would this also be deserted? |
43124 | Would this place also be evacuated, or should we be able to buy some much- needed articles of clothing here? |
43124 | Would you like a biscuit?" |
43124 | are they ill?" |
43124 | sent the order by you now, or given you a message?" |
43124 | would like to see me now? |
59489 | ''And where is Rougeau?'' |
59489 | ''And you,''I said--''what is the matter with you?'' |
59489 | ''And, after all,''said the Adjutant- Major,''where could he go, in the midst of the enemy? |
59489 | ''Before I tell you, have you a bit of something to eat about you?'' |
59489 | ''Do you remember,''he said,''the day of the Battle of Eylau, when we were on the right of the church?'' |
59489 | ''For whom?'' |
59489 | ''How do you think I am to give you a hand?'' |
59489 | ''How is that?'' |
59489 | ''How the devil do you remember their names?'' |
59489 | ''I am not mistaken,''she said, addressing me by name--''_mon pays_, is it you?'' |
59489 | ''Is it possible?'' |
59489 | ''Is that all?'' |
59489 | ''It passed you,''said the Vélite,''and yet you did n''t see it? |
59489 | ''No, no; not at all.... Do n''t you see it is that brute of a General Roguet striking at everybody with his baton? |
59489 | ''Now I do,''I said;''but what can you do with him?'' |
59489 | ''Then this is not fat, is it, rascal of a Spaniard?'' |
59489 | ''To me?'' |
59489 | ''Well, what is it?'' |
59489 | ''Well,''said the good fellow,''which way now for us?'' |
59489 | ''Were you very frightened, poor fellow?'' |
59489 | ''What do you mean?'' |
59489 | ''What do you mean?'' |
59489 | ''What is that firing?'' |
59489 | ''What, Russians?'' |
59489 | ''Where has my cart got to?'' |
59489 | ''Where the devil do you come from, comrade, that I have n''t met you while I''ve been walking all alone?'' |
59489 | ''Where?'' |
59489 | ''Where?'' |
59489 | ''Who told you anything about her?'' |
59489 | ''Who?--I?'' |
59489 | After seeing nearly everything, the Colonel said:''And what about the non- commissioned officers?'' |
59489 | An infantry soldier, the sentinel, called out:''Who goes there?'' |
59489 | And what about feeding her?'' |
59489 | And where the devil have you come from? |
59489 | And where''s your_ queue_?'' |
59489 | And you? |
59489 | At last, breaking the silence, I asked in rather a trembling voice:''Are you a Frenchman?'' |
59489 | But an instant afterwards:''Why, my dear fellow, is it you? |
59489 | But do n''t you recognise Mouton? |
59489 | But hardly was I inside, when I heard the click of a musket, and a deep voice said:''Who goes there?'' |
59489 | But several began questioning them, in particular the old Chasseur, who said:''How is it you are on horseback, and dressed like a Cossack? |
59489 | But what could we do? |
59489 | But what is to become of me?'' |
59489 | But where could I get wood to relight the fire? |
59489 | But where is she?'' |
59489 | Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | Could I have spent 315 francs? |
59489 | Do n''t you see it, too?'' |
59489 | Do you not think he would be able to bring down his man?'' |
59489 | Do you remember when we embarked at Toulon on our way to Egypt?...'' |
59489 | Do you understand, sir?'' |
59489 | For sole answer, Marie sighed, saying,''How can you chaff an unhappy woman like me?'' |
59489 | Have n''t I been with him nearly five years, ever since the Battle of Eylau, and I''m not married? |
59489 | Have you been in the rear- guard?'' |
59489 | Have you forgotten it, Picart?'' |
59489 | Have you met some of our men behind?'' |
59489 | He went on:''Did you notice how he looked at us?'' |
59489 | Hearing nothing more, I began to think my senses had deceived me, and I called out as loud as I possibly could:''Where are you?'' |
59489 | How is it that you are alone? |
59489 | How many cartridges have you?'' |
59489 | How''s this? |
59489 | I remember an old officer of this battalion, as he went forward, singing Roland''s song:''Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | I said:''It''s I you are looking for, is n''t it?'' |
59489 | I went up to him, and, taking him by the arm, I said,''What is the matter with you, Picart?'' |
59489 | In our present dreadful circumstances, how could such music have been possible-- and, above all, at such an hour? |
59489 | Is n''t that a column of troops?'' |
59489 | Is n''t that like Picart?'' |
59489 | Is that you? |
59489 | Just then an officer galloped up, and, addressing the prisoners in French, he said:''Why do n''t you walk faster?'' |
59489 | Of what company is he? |
59489 | On all sides we heard cries of''Who has seen my horse?'' |
59489 | One of them said to me,''Sergeant, suppose we put one of these guns into the hands of that peasant there who is trembling beside the stove? |
59489 | Recognising me, he said:''Well, what are you doing there? |
59489 | Several of them, on seeing me, began to call out,''Who would like 100 francs for a twenty- franc piece in gold?'' |
59489 | The Adjutant- Major, Roustan, ran to me and, seizing me by the arm, said:''My poor Bourgogne, are you wounded?'' |
59489 | The Colonel instantly said:''Sapper, you are wounded?'' |
59489 | The nearer I got to it, the better I seemed to recognise it, and at last I cried:''Is it you, Béloque? |
59489 | Then, dragging me behind a bush, he said in a low voice,''Do n''t you see?'' |
59489 | To guard against a surprise, I drew my sword, and, advancing towards the man, I cried,''Who are you?'' |
59489 | Two of them spoke to us; one cried,''Comrades, are you going to kill the horse? |
59489 | We had not been resting an hour, when we heard a shout,''Who goes there?'' |
59489 | We placed the Chasseur as comfortably as possible, and then left him to his melancholy fate; what else could we do? |
59489 | What brought you here in the middle of the night?'' |
59489 | What do you say to that, Marie?'' |
59489 | What do you say, Marie?'' |
59489 | What do you want?'' |
59489 | What else could one do? |
59489 | What have you been doing? |
59489 | What in the devil''s name do you do with those queer customers, and where did you find them? |
59489 | What is it?'' |
59489 | What object could these men have, almost dying as they were, in telling us this story, if it were not true? |
59489 | What were we to do? |
59489 | What will become of me?'' |
59489 | Where are they?'' |
59489 | Where are we?'' |
59489 | Who wants some? |
59489 | Why, then, did we not leave a town where there were no houses to shelter us, and no provisions to feed us? |
59489 | You remember that when we were leaving Moscow you entrusted me with a parcel? |
59489 | [ 34] As I ate I said:''Picart, have you any brandy?'' |
59489 | [ Footnote 13:''Combien sont- ils? |
59489 | _ From a sketch made at the time by an officer of Napoleon''s army._]''And the woman?'' |
59489 | he answered, as if only just awake,''is n''t the Emperor inspecting us?'' |
59489 | he exclaimed;''what is the good of that? |
59489 | he said;''it is n''t you, Bourgogne? |
59489 | he said;''that''s why I remind you of it, and ask you if a little patience and industry would not have mended your pan?'' |
59489 | is that you, Mother Gâteau?'' |
59489 | said the Marshal;''and why should you do it? |
59489 | what will become of all these brave young fellows?'' |
50807 | Alas, what more can we do than beg you to bear up? |
50807 | And you are still alive? |
50807 | Anything in sight? |
50807 | Are the stretcher- bearers coming? |
50807 | Are you a submarine officer? |
50807 | Are you as much troubled as ever by spies? |
50807 | Are you going out to be strafed at? |
50807 | But how was it that your guns were firing at a farm which you were occupying? |
50807 | But my wife? 50807 But why did you love him so?" |
50807 | Did any one see a German nurse in the house or yard? |
50807 | Did it make you sick? |
50807 | Do n''t you think, Sister Madeleine, that in one respect-- my unkempt appearance-- I shall not make a bad substitute? |
50807 | Germans? |
50807 | Has there ever been a fight between two submarines? |
50807 | Have YOU any superfluous hair? |
50807 | How did you get to the upper story? |
50807 | How do I feel? |
50807 | How far away can you use a torpedo? |
50807 | How far is it to the nearest port, captain? |
50807 | How many German submarines are there in the Mediterranean? |
50807 | How old are you? |
50807 | How will our chap get back to us now? |
50807 | How? 50807 I wonder if we could capture those guns?" |
50807 | In that event what would happen to you? |
50807 | Is he delirious or what? |
50807 | Is there an age limit? |
50807 | Is there any fresh water around these parts, sir? |
50807 | Is this life better than on a battleship? |
50807 | Ja? |
50807 | Ja? |
50807 | My passports? |
50807 | Never less? |
50807 | Our guns? |
50807 | Suppose I crouch down and run the risk of them passing without seeing me? |
50807 | Vy did n''t you stop before? |
50807 | Well, laddie,he said,"how are you?" |
50807 | Well,answered the Junior Subaltern,"did I not say that there was such a thing as justifiable killing of the wounded, for us as for the Germans? |
50807 | What can be done? |
50807 | What could be wrong, Doctor? |

50807 | But I can tell you a little of the experience I had last Wednesday week, the 15th, the time we had the pleasure(?) |
50807 | But are you certain the_ Virgen del Socorro_ is in the market? |
50807 | But does he groan and lament over it? |
50807 | But what else can you do? |
50807 | But what was to be done with the prisoners? |
50807 | But who is Ludendorff? |
50807 | But why did she go up? |
50807 | But would she reach us in time before the pirates sent us to the bottom? |
50807 | But, thought I, was it at all certain they_ were_ in pursuit? |
50807 | Had our men been made prisoners? |
50807 | He said to me:"''Do you know what has happened to that woman-- Susanna Raynal?'' |
50807 | He was going to look up at me and say,"Ja wohl?" |
50807 | How can any one say prayers for a world which is at war, or for himself that is a part of it? |
50807 | How did she come here?" |
50807 | I am asked:"How did I arrive at the firm resolution to live only for the people?" |
50807 | If I bought the baby, what could I do with her on a trip through Germany?... |
50807 | If that is not so, what of the indiscretions of his clerk Hermann Fischer? |

50807 | One of our covering trenches must have given way, but which? |
50807 | Otto, is that you? |
50807 | Rudyard?" |
50807 | She murmured in perplexity:"Dream, death? |
50807 | Should they, the Prussians, be beaten by New Army men? |
50807 | Somebody was shouting"Fetch the stretcher- bearers, you fools: are you going to leave me here?" |
50807 | The bag was examined and what could they find in it but maps and proclamations? |
50807 | The question is, how are we going to do that? |
50807 | Was Delville Wood worse than High Wood? |
50807 | Was he dreaming? |
50807 | Was it because of the success of the first gas attack at Ypres that they now placed such reliance in gas shells? |

50807 | What was this monster that was smashing men? |
50807 | What were the underlying causes that contributed to our victory? |

50807 | Why was he there, and what was the mystery surrounding his birth? |
50807 | Will she come through the ordeal a stronger and nobler character or will she break down under it? |
50807 | Would they not, in that case, have come on with a rush? |

6764 | My brudder, how long, My brudder, how long, My brudder, how long,''Fore we done sufferin''here? |
6764 | Napoleon ought to have won at Waterloo by all reasonable calculations; but who cares? |
6764 | O, have you got your ticket? |
6764 | O, is your bundle ready? |
6764 | O, wo n''t you go wid me? |
6764 | O, wo n''t you go wid me? |
6764 | Of course my pride was up; for was I to defer to an untutored African on a point of pronunciation? |
6764 | One of them was heard to mutter, indignantly,"Why de Cunnel order_ Cease firing_, when de Secesh blazin''away at de rate ob ten dollar a day?" |
6764 | Sammy, what you''s doin'', chile?" |
6764 | That having been the case, why should not the Government equally repudiate General Saxton''s promises or mine? |
6764 | The single question which I asked of some of the plantation superintendents, on the voyage, was,"Do these people appreciate_ justice_?" |
6764 | Too ole for come? |
6764 | Was the economy of saving six dollars per man worth to the Treasury the ignominy of the repudiation? |
6764 | Way down in de valley, Who will rise and go with me? |
6764 | What ever are we to do for spoons and forks and plates? |
6764 | What for use? |
6764 | What was the use of insurrection, where everything was against them? |
6764 | What were those black dots which everywhere appeared? |
6764 | When some of them saw me they seemed a little dismayed, and came and said, beseechingly,--"Gunnel, Sah, you hab no objection to we playin'', Sah?" |
6764 | Where is that faith of the Government now? |
6764 | Who''s go dar?" |
6764 | You tink you''s brave enough; how you tink, if you stan''clar in de open field,--here you, and dar de Secesh? |

44970 | ''You were? 44970 A shade- tail,"said he, meditatively,--"how should I know? |
44970 | About what? 44970 And it''s nearly all white, and would make an excellent mark for some Johnny to shoot at, eh?" |
44970 | And what would you do if you were? |
44970 | Andy, do you think that fellow''s gun went off by accident, or was the rascal trying to hurt somebody? |
44970 | Andy, what is a shade- tail? |
44970 | Are those your orders? |
44970 | Auntie, you''ve got a good many little folks to look after, have n''t you? |
44970 | Beautiful night, Johnny, is n''t it? |
44970 | Boys, it begins to look a little dubious, do n''t it? 44970 Boys, what are you trying to do?" |
44970 | But is n''t it rather large? |
44970 | But where are your cartridges? |
44970 | By what right or authority, sir, do you presume to tell me that a pig is like an oyster? |
44970 | Can you shoot? |
44970 | General, shall we unsling knapsacks? |
44970 | Harry, for pity''s sake, have you any water? |
44970 | Harry, would n''t you like to go out on picket with us to- morrow? 44970 Harry,"said Lieutenant Dougal,"I have n''t any tin cup, and when you get your coffee cooked, I believe I''ll share it with you; may I?" |
44970 | Has any of you fellows back there some coffee to trade for tobacco? 44970 How in the name of the American eagle is a man going to fight the battles of his country in such a uniform as this? |
44970 | How''s Bony this morning, Andy? |
44970 | I asked whether you could tell me what a shade- tail is? |
44970 | It_ was_ a fowl trick, after all, Harry, was n''t it? |
44970 | Major, you do n''t expect us drummer- boys to turn out, do you? |
44970 | Rather a warm day for work in a cornfield, is n''t it, Joe? |
44970 | Rather late in the morning to make such an offer, is n''t it? 44970 Say, Captain, tell us where are we going?" |
44970 | See that hole? 44970 Well, Johnny?" |
44970 | Well, what in the mischief''s up now? |
44970 | Well, where is he? 44970 Well, your fifers have fifes, have n''t they? |
44970 | Well,said Andy,"and what if he does? |
44970 | Well,said I,"we caught those pigs, anyhow, did n''t we? |
44970 | What are you going to do with that bottle? |
44970 | What would you get at? 44970 What''s he doing down there in that hole?" |
44970 | What''s up, fellows? |
44970 | Where are we going, Pompey? 44970 Where are we going?" |
44970 | Where did you get that chicken, Corporal? |
44970 | Where is he? |
44970 | Where''s my cap? |
44970 | Where? |
44970 | Who''s afraid of the Louisiana Tigers? 44970 Why did n''t they let us fight? |
44970 | Why, Harry, is that you? 44970 Why, Smith,"said I,"is this you? |
44970 | Why, do n''t you see? 44970 Why,"said the lieutenant,"what are you crying for, you big baby, you?" |
44970 | Would you enlist, Andy, if your father would consent? 44970 You see the commissary yonder?" |
44970 | _ Meat_ jumping around here? 44970 ''And if I might be so bold as to ask-- how did you generally kill them?'' 44970 ''I want dis yere water for Gen''l Grant; an''ai n''t he a commandin''dis yere army, or am you?'' 44970 ( You remember Warrenton? 44970 ***** And-- Andy? 44970 About the spring- fever, or about the war? |
44970 | And I, too, looked; but where was Andy? |
44970 | And beneath the starry flag We shall breathe the air again--""What''s that?" |
44970 | And do n''t you remember how excited_ you_ were when the news came about Fort Sumter last spring? |
44970 | And do n''t you think it''s pretty nearly time we should pay him back? |
44970 | And how many do you think there were? |
44970 | And the daughters, where were they? |
44970 | And where in the world is the regiment?" |
44970 | And why not, my boy?" |
44970 | Andy and I thought, as we were driving in our tent- pins:"That''s pretty hard now, is n''t it? |
44970 | Anybody know where Jim McFadden is?" |
44970 | Are_ you_ there?" |
44970 | Ay, the position is saved; but where is our corps? |
44970 | But the wars of Cæsar and the siege of Troy, what are they when compared with the great war now being waged in our own time and country? |
44970 | But what is to be done for a sick man whose only choice of diet must be made from pork, beans, sugar, and hard- tack? |
44970 | But where have you been? |
44970 | But where is he? |
44970 | But where shall I get water to make the coffee with? |
44970 | But, on consideration, I believe I would say,''Gentlemen, will you have a cigár?''" |
44970 | Coming up quietly behind him, I laid my hand on his shoulder with:"Andy, old boy, have I found you at last? |
44970 | Could n''t we somehow get a shelter and something to eat for the poor souls?" |
44970 | Did he get cross? |
44970 | Did he wish this cruel war was over? |
44970 | Did n''t I watch your feet? |
44970 | Did n''t you shoot just now?" |
44970 | Did they steal his goods? |
44970 | Did ye hear whar dey is now?'' |
44970 | Did you never eat frogs?" |
44970 | Didn''I say better git off''n dat dar mule o''mine? |
44970 | Do n''t you see? |
44970 | Do n''t you see? |
44970 | Do you ask how? |
44970 | Do you remember the words well enough to repeat it?" |
44970 | Do you see that? |
44970 | Does he know me? |
44970 | Ever had this, that, and the other disease?" |
44970 | Every time you come up to this end of your beat, speak to me, will you? |
44970 | Eyes good? |
44970 | For the winter is past; the sweet breath of spring comes balmily up from the south, and the whole army is on the move,--whither? |
44970 | Going to join the cavalry?" |
44970 | Had he children at home, may be, in the far- off South? |
44970 | Home? |
44970 | Homesick? |
44970 | How could he after so bold a dash into the horse- market? |
44970 | How did we spend our time in winter quarters, do you ask? |
44970 | How is it, now? |
44970 | I fell to wondering, as I watched him, what sort of man he was? |
44970 | I knew very well where McFadden was, for was n''t he lying right beside me in the grass? |
44970 | In the midst of the excitement, father came in from the field and greeted me with,"Why, my boy, where did_ you_ come from?" |
44970 | It concerns a question of emphasis, or rather, perhaps, of inflection, and it is this: Would you say,''Gentlemen, will you have a cigár?'' |
44970 | Just you keep an eye on my horse, will you?" |
44970 | KILLED, WOUNDED, OR MISSING? |
44970 | KILLED, WOUNDED, OR MISSING? |
44970 | May I inquire what may be the question under discussion?" |
44970 | Night set in, and we began to wonder, in all the simplicity of new troops, whether Uncle Sam expected us to march all night as well as all day? |
44970 | Now that was rather hard, was n''t it? |
44970 | Now why could n''t we catch and tame a shade- tail?" |
44970 | Or a father and mother? |
44970 | Or, may be,_ you_ had the spring- fever then?" |
44970 | Shall we strike up a tent, or bunk down here under the pines?" |
44970 | So there was not going to be any battle after all, then? |
44970 | That would n''t be nearly so nice, would it?" |
44970 | That''s fair and square, is n''t it?" |
44970 | The case is-- let''s see; what''ll we call it? |
44970 | The sutler seldom enjoyed much respect, as how could he when he flourished and fattened on our hungry stomachs? |
44970 | Upon which up comes the corporal of the guard on a full trot, with his gun at a right- shoulder shift, and saying,--"Well, what''s up?" |
44970 | Was it the moonlight so wondrously flashing? |
44970 | We had no water for thirty- six hours, and, of course, no coffee; and what is life to a soldier without coffee? |
44970 | Well, Major, did you ever kill anybody?'' |
44970 | Well, one man came up to me, and says he:"''Major, you were in the war, were n''t you?'' |
44970 | Were the sons in the war? |
44970 | Whar you goin''dar? |
44970 | Whar you gwine wid dat dar mule o''mine? |
44970 | What cared we for bounty? |
44970 | What do you mean? |
44970 | What in the name of General Jackson did you come to the army for, if you ai n''t a- going to obey orders?" |
44970 | What is a shade- tail?" |
44970 | What they saw was only this-- that they wanted somebody to raid, and who could be a fitter subject than the sutler? |
44970 | What was to be done? |
44970 | What would they do with a mere boy like you? |
44970 | What''s to hinder him?" |
44970 | What''s up?" |
44970 | Where are you hurt?" |
44970 | Where are you hurt?" |
44970 | Where is Jimmy Lucas?" |
44970 | Where were the boys who, but a week before, had marched with us through those same fragrant fields, blithe as a sunshiny morn in May? |
44970 | Where_ did_ it get to, anyhow? |
44970 | Which will you do?" |
44970 | Who are you?" |
44970 | Who goes there?" |
44970 | Who goes there?" |
44970 | Why did not the officers punish the men for doing this? |
44970 | Why did we not build winter- quarters, do you ask? |
44970 | Why what do you mean?" |
44970 | Why, where in the world are we going this time of year? |
44970 | Why_ will_ he make me all this trouble? |
44970 | Will you do it?" |
44970 | Young or old? |
44970 | _ Wo n''t_ you let me go? |
44970 | and an oft- repeated"What do you think of this, boys?" |
44970 | and gets his arm around my neck, is it any wonder? |
44970 | and the"Star- Spangled Banner,"and"Away Down South in Dixie,"and-- in short, what in the world was a poor boy to do? |
44970 | and would they ever come back again and set up their household gods in the good old place once more? |
44970 | exclaimed I,"what in the name of all conscience do you want with a horse? |
44970 | or''Gentlemen, will you have a cigàr?''" |
44970 | said Andy, wiping the perspiration from his face,"what shall we do now? |
44970 | said I, peering through the bushes,"is that you?" |
44970 | was it the night- wind that rustled the leaves? |
44970 | what do you think of this? |
44970 | where did_ you_ come from?" |
48229 | A game? |
48229 | And Attila? |
48229 | And the Territorials? |
48229 | And you shot him? |
48229 | Are you Lieutenant Capart? |
48229 | Are you settled? |
48229 | At least, you have done your bit for France by giving her''little St. André''s,''_ poilus_ and sturdy like yourself? |
48229 | By the way, you have never told me-- do you know how to use a tooth brush?----"To shine the brass? |
48229 | Can you read German, Capart? |
48229 | Commandant? |
48229 | Confess you here? 48229 Did not someone ask you if Captain Capart had returned?" |
48229 | Did they not welcome you as they should? |
48229 | Did you advance? |
48229 | Did you spend a nice vacation? |
48229 | Do you know Charles Dubois? |
48229 | Do you know this territory well? |
48229 | Fort Souville----"What are you doing? |
48229 | General, it''s for the filth----"For what? |
48229 | Good morning, St. André-- that you? 48229 Have you been under fire?" |
48229 | He has been killed----? |
48229 | Hey,I shouted, addressing them,"what would you say if you had a beautiful Parisian Princess in that box?" |
48229 | How far is he? |
48229 | How is it,I said,"that you are not at your post where you should be, or in the dugout in safety?" |
48229 | How many Germans have you killed? |
48229 | I know this sector better than anyone----"How is that? |
48229 | I was going to ask the same question? |
48229 | Not very good? 48229 Officer?" |
48229 | Our post,they replied, stupefied,"our post-- what post, lieutenant?" |
48229 | Perhaps you know someone there? 48229 Pretty hot up there?" |
48229 | Several escaped? |
48229 | Since you are fighting near him-- what is_ he_? |
48229 | Sit down-- what have you to say to me? |
48229 | The filth? |
48229 | The password? |
48229 | The password? |
48229 | The saddest? 48229 This morning----""Where is he?" |
48229 | Those cutthroats over there have done everything: they have violated women, young girls----"And the priests? |
48229 | What are you doing there? 48229 What are you doing?" |
48229 | What are you laughing at? |
48229 | What is that you are reading? |
48229 | What is the matter with you? |
48229 | What trenches----? |
48229 | What was that you said? 48229 What would I say,"returned an old corporal,"what would I say? |
48229 | Where are the trenches? |
48229 | Where are they? |
48229 | Where are you going? |
48229 | Where are you going? |
48229 | Where do you come from? |
48229 | Where have you been? |
48229 | Who are you with? |
48229 | Who are you? |
48229 | Who goes there? |
48229 | Who plays chess here? |
48229 | Who told you that story? |
48229 | Why were you crying a moment ago when I came up on you? 48229 Yes, I''m a K. C.""_ Cassé!_[23] Who is it that is hurt?" |
48229 | Yes, what can I do for you? 48229 You are not married? |
48229 | You remember me? |
48229 | You replied? |
48229 | _ Nom de Dieu_, do n''t you know_ our_ 75''s? |
48229 | *****"And the portrait?" |
48229 | ? |
48229 | ? |
48229 | ?" |
48229 | A man, aside from the others, had listened closely without speaking-- the others turned toward him:"And you,_ le vieux_, what would you say?" |
48229 | And turning toward the young girl who served him, he added,"Mademoiselle, will you place another cover for the lieutenant? |
48229 | And you,_ poilu_,"he added, turning toward my sapper,"to what religion do you belong?" |
48229 | Are they the Old Guard and our_ poilus_, our brave_ poilus_? |
48229 | Can I kill him?" |
48229 | Can they no longer stay at home, the pigs? |
48229 | Can this be the happy little fellow of the night before? |
48229 | Can you imagine a woman in such a place? |
48229 | Coming outside, a_ poilu_, with an undefinable accent, says:"Then they''re going to spring it to- night?" |
48229 | Commandant de Jonquières without rising from his chair cries out:"Anybody hit, men?" |
48229 | Do you believe all those who have survived this horrible December winter, at Eparges, are martyrs? |
48229 | Do you want to be elected? |
48229 | Fortunately he continued in French:"Lost the road----""Where are you going?" |
48229 | Gunther, where did you unearth this marvelous stuff?" |
48229 | Have you got a comb?" |
48229 | He can not enjoy himself and laugh like the others? |
48229 | How did it happen?" |
48229 | How is it going?" |
48229 | How long was all this going to last? |
48229 | I find a group of Marines seated on the ground chatting and I listen----"What is the saddest thing you have seen, you?" |
48229 | I lowered my voice and said:"Look, sergeant, what is the matter with that_ poilu_? |
48229 | Is it too hot?" |
48229 | Is that clear? |
48229 | Is there anything wrong?" |
48229 | It hit them hard so suddenly-- poor people----""And you, Pierre, what''s the saddest tale you know of?" |
48229 | It is well that our_ poilus_ see that we are at their side-- are they not our brothers? |
48229 | It wo n''t bother you if I have something to eat here-- sardines, a box of_ singe_ and some_ pinard_--you''ll have a portion?" |
48229 | Judge my astonishment on reading the pamphlet, I cried:"They are absolutely crazy, both of them? |
48229 | Of what was she thinking? |
48229 | One of the men, gone completely mad, shouted:"Where are they? |
48229 | Perhaps I interrupt you?" |
48229 | Shall I replenish it?" |
48229 | That''s a strange idea-- and why?" |
48229 | That''s not it? |
48229 | The means? |
48229 | The music kept on playing-- the throng went wild-- was this not a beautiful dream after that horrible nightmare? |
48229 | Then he murmured:"She will not arrive too late?" |
48229 | Then she became impatient-- Why did she not come? |
48229 | They fully apprehend now the return-- what will become of them? |
48229 | They suffer? |
48229 | War? |
48229 | We landed easily on the ground, but our"cuckoo"broke a hidden telephone wire----"_ Hein!_ what do you think about it, Capart?" |
48229 | We need many things badly, and, above all, miss you-- When is it all going to be over?" |
48229 | We will have violaters, pillagers-- incendiaries----""In what category do you want to be, Father?" |
48229 | What could be the matter? |
48229 | What did you do?" |
48229 | What must I do? |
48229 | What would he have done if he had had airplanes? |
48229 | When you get there what will give you the greatest pleasure after all the hardships you have endured?" |
48229 | Where did he get it? |
48229 | Where did you go?" |
48229 | Who goes?" |
48229 | Why has this accursed war broken out? |
48229 | Why him and not us?" |
48229 | Why is this wooden bridge called the"Brick Bridge"? |
48229 | Would n''t you like to come in our home where it will be more agreeable than in the road?" |
48229 | You are English?" |
48229 | You believe my story to be ended? |
48229 | You heard then that we recovered his body?" |
48229 | You see that bridge? |
48229 | You will find them in the basket that came from Bar- le- Duc with the provisions-- Where was I?" |
48229 | You will remain and have lunch with me? |
48229 | fortunately all goes well, practically no losses-- that right, Delage?" |
48229 | he''s shot to hell-- but-- what about her?" |
48229 | how good of you to come-- let me offer you a drink: some Turin, whisky and soda, Pernod, or Cassis-- which do you want? |
48229 | there you are,_ mon gros_, why are you all dressed up?" |
48229 | yes----""What''s the matter? |
48663 | ''Where is your father?'' 48663 And Pétain?" |
48663 | And afterwards? |
48663 | And how will Germany manage that? |
48663 | And what of little Poli-- the beautiful Dragoon with the sky- blue coat? |
48663 | And where shall I find the car? |
48663 | Any casualties? |
48663 | Anybody hurt? |
48663 | Are you struck, Goliath? |
48663 | Beg pardon, sir, where shall_ I_ go now? |
48663 | But how do you manage to get those papers? |
48663 | But where are the Main Headquarters? |
48663 | By the way, had any more trouble with Minnie? |
48663 | Did she do much damage? |
48663 | Good, but how am I to get there? |
48663 | Have you an entrenchin''tool? |
48663 | Have you located her? |
48663 | How can you believe these wild stories? 48663 How do you propose to go, Jerry-- by private balloon? |
48663 | How does any ship go anywhere? 48663 How is Germany going to manage it?" |
48663 | How many, Bobby? |
48663 | How was that, General? |
48663 | How? |
48663 | Is that_ my_ boy-- is that_ my_ boy?... |
48663 | Look here, my man,said Ayling,"do you, or do you not, know where you are?" |
48663 | May I suggest an explanation? |
48663 | Oo are yer? |
48663 | Oo are yer? |
48663 | Really? 48663 Seein''anything?" |
48663 | The Emperor? |
48663 | The name of the Chief of the General Staff of the Field Army, General Moltke, does not impress you? |
48663 | Then what the devil made them go there? 48663 They did n''t expect you to believe it, I hope?" |
48663 | Up workin''? |
48663 | Well, doctor, what''s she suffering from? |
48663 | Well, it is a long journey,she said,"why should he take all that trouble when he could get your money in some other way?" |
48663 | What about our chipping in with a one- fifty- five turn-- half a dozen H E shells into Minnie''s dressing- room-- eh? 48663 What about the British Navy on the way?" |
48663 | What are you all laughing at? 48663 What are you doing?" |
48663 | What do you think this is, a summer resort? |
48663 | What is official? |
48663 | What is the matter with your wounded man? |
48663 | What is your profession, Bill? |
48663 | What trenches wass you seeking? |
48663 | What''s the matter? |
48663 | What, Francesca, you arrive in tears at K----? |
48663 | Where can we lodge for to- night? |
48663 | Where did they tell you that? |
48663 | Where have you been? |
48663 | Where is the Red Cross Bureau? |
48663 | Where is the hotel? |
48663 | Where is your boy? |
48663 | Where''s that? |
48663 | Where? |
48663 | Which Kaiser, Marischa? |
48663 | Who can that be? |
48663 | Who is he? |
48663 | Why did they put Delcassé''s son in prison in the first place? |
48663 | Why should he kill me? |
48663 | Why-- would the German boats go near the British Navy? |
48663 | Why? |
48663 | Wo n''t you have to return to Göding and join your regiment now? |
48663 | Wot matter whether I spend it on cards, wine, or women? 48663 Yes, am I not?" |
48663 | Yes, battles_ are_ dangerous, are n''t they? |
48663 | You do n''t think, then, that the Russians may break into Galicia? |
48663 | You surely can scarcely imagine that any country could take such an ultimatum lying down? |
48663 | ''Where are the French that passed here?'' |
48663 | *****"Well, what am I going to do-- stay here for the rest of my life?" |
48663 | A popular joke in the city then was:--"Was ist der Dreibund? |
48663 | A truly peaceful atmosphere-- what? |
48663 | Ai n''t yer got none?" |
48663 | Am I not right?" |
48663 | And I? |
48663 | And this meant:"Life? |
48663 | And what would you say the conversation was about? |
48663 | Any German prisoners I see I always give them a cheery,"_ Wie gehts?_"and some of them answer"Good morning"in English. |
48663 | Any casualties?" |
48663 | Are his city and his home invaded? |
48663 | Battles are so interesting, are n''t they?" |
48663 | Besides, who would shoot that pair?" |
48663 | But England wo n''t fight, so why should we break our heads about it?" |
48663 | But the captain, how was the company to get on without him? |
48663 | But what is that sudden disturbance in the front- line trench? |
48663 | But who asserted that there were no Belgian soldiers left? |
48663 | But you''ll take care of yourself now, wo n''t you: and not get killed? |
48663 | But-- what is that light haze hanging over the enemy''s trenches? |
48663 | By what wonderful organisation of the commissariat are these men housed and fed? |
48663 | Ca n''t you really see that Germany is committing a crime in going through Belgium like that?" |
48663 | Can it be----? |
48663 | Could a king worthy of the name have acted in any other way?" |
48663 | Death? |
48663 | Do n''t you think one may be allowed to say that without being stamped as cruel and merciless? |
48663 | Do you know what I long for more than anything else? |
48663 | Do you remember how you laughed at my army shoes because they were so heavy? |
48663 | Have you anything to say?" |
48663 | His poor hand remains pressed to his brow and his eyes, doubtless to protect them against the baking sun, and I ask:"Why did you not cover his face?" |
48663 | How could France declare war on any country when she was herself, as the whole world knew, so little prepared? |
48663 | How do they lie? |
48663 | How does roast beef, tomatoes, brown gravy, butter, tea, jam and apple dumplings sound? |
48663 | How is it that there is no atmosphere of sadness about this half- empty town? |
48663 | How many of them are there? |
48663 | How the devil do they expect me to get my harvest in, if they take my men away? |
48663 | How would he act now? |
48663 | Humble child of our countryside, brief little life, what is he dreaming of, if he is still dreaming? |
48663 | I can only say to all those who have asked me,"What of France?" |
48663 | I said to a fellow,"Are you going up to the guns?" |
48663 | I told her we had had no trouble at all, and she said:"What did you do?" |
48663 | I wonder what difference you will find in us when we come home---- IV-- A NIGHT SCARE AT THE FRONT Do you know what a night scare is? |
48663 | If one were not informed in advance and accustomed to them, could one divine what they can possibly be? |
48663 | In what stage of decomposition? |
48663 | Is it a wonder the people call him:_ Unser Hindenburg_? |
48663 | Is it never permissible to shoot a prisoner? |
48663 | Is n''t he a rotter?... |
48663 | Is there anybody who knows how to caress like a mother? |
48663 | Is there anything in the world that holds such rapturous joy?... |
48663 | Most of the women tried hard to keep cool, and except for occasional screams of"Where is my husband? |
48663 | Now, what about breakfast?" |
48663 | Only a score of months ago who would have imagined such a face of things? |
48663 | Or is he dreaming of the farm garden that held his earliest years? |
48663 | Perhaps of his kerchiefed mamma, who wept happy tears every time she recognized his childish writing on an envelope from the front? |
48663 | Shift him over, will you?" |
48663 | Some experience between those two lines, eh? |
48663 | Some section we have, have n''t we? |
48663 | Something must be done, but what? |
48663 | Telephone orderly, there?" |
48663 | The Army commander, hearing the tale of the tunnel and the observation post, had remarked:"Sound gunner, is he? |
48663 | The Princess quickly recovered and said----"Why do you worry about it, Jerry? |
48663 | There was a frantic dash from the starboard entrances to the port side and from below women were shouting,"What shall we do?" |
48663 | This I reduced and splinted, and in a short while Frank asked,"Is there a funny paper on the boat?" |
48663 | To sit in the Kiel Canal, perhaps?" |
48663 | Waddell, if I give you a shilling, will you take it over to the German trenches and ask them to drop it into the meter?" |
48663 | Was it a heavy attack on our lines? |
48663 | We shall sing"Where''s yer girl? |
48663 | What can one do if one is so poor and so divided as we are? |
48663 | What do you suppose Willy built his Dreadnoughts for? |
48663 | What do you want?" |
48663 | What does all this signify? |
48663 | What does it matter? |
48663 | What if at that moment the enemy should sight us? |
48663 | What kind of man was it, then, whom the invisible powers of evil were employing to precipitate this insensate struggle? |
48663 | What more could a man ask? |
48663 | What right have I to stand above them, to buy glory with the shedding of their blood?... |
48663 | What''s this?" |
48663 | Where are the shells coming from?" |
48663 | Where is my child?" |
48663 | Who are you?" |
48663 | Who can believe it? |
48663 | Who can, even in Germany, be blind to the inevitable consequences of the events we are now witnessing?" |
48663 | Who tells the story? |
48663 | Who will say then that our dear France has lost her Faith? |
48663 | Who would have thought that such deep, and also such solemn, notes could come from so small a steeple? |
48663 | Why should I be chosen to represent an ideal? |
48663 | Why should just I be the symbol? |
48663 | Will the French not give up from sheer exhaustion of strength?" |
48663 | Would you like to know what the German Crown Prince, the Crown Prince of Prussia, eats for supper? |
48663 | X--"I CAN NEVER FORGET THOSE FACES"So many people have asked me, I had asked myself, the question before I went to France:"Are they not weary of it? |
48663 | _ We shot him._ Was it honourable and just? |
48663 | and if she did go out on the Wilhelm Platz and I shot her-- that would be her fault, would n''t it?" |
32051 | A bit draughty, is n''t it? |
32051 | About fifty in two days-- bit tough, eh? |
32051 | All right; do you understand your orders? |
32051 | Been attacked, then? |
32051 | But ca n''t you find a better place than this, and with more room? 32051 But what are you doing in there?" |
32051 | But what are you men doing here? |
32051 | But what do the English people really think about the cause of the war? |
32051 | But what happened after they left? |
32051 | By the way, what about my orderly? 32051 By the way,"I shouted after him,"what is our destination?" |
32051 | Ca n''t have any, then? |
32051 | Ca n''t you forget it? |
32051 | Captain, you are quite blind? |
32051 | Come along, first man, what''s your regiment? |
32051 | Comfortable? |
32051 | Did the American Consul ever visit the lager? |
32051 | Did they ever use them? |
32051 | Does anybody know? |
32051 | Excuse me,he said,"but were you in charge of the train last night?" |
32051 | Fritz there? |
32051 | Front line, sir? |
32051 | Had n''t you better get yours, too? |
32051 | Had n''t you better go to him, sir? |
32051 | Has there been another battle in the North Sea, sir? |
32051 | Have you any friends in either of them? |
32051 | Have you been to the front yet? |
32051 | Heard about Bill? 32051 How can you help it?" |
32051 | How do you know that, sir? |
32051 | How long have you been in the army, Septimus? |
32051 | How many men have I charge of? |
32051 | How so? |
32051 | I do n''t know-- who? |
32051 | I say, though, where does one sleep? |
32051 | I''ve got orders to take half the battalion bombers from you; where are they? |
32051 | I''ve got to report to him; will you tell him I''m here? |
32051 | If every one felt the same way, who do you think is going to carry on the war? |
32051 | In what way do you mean? |
32051 | Is dot usual? 32051 Is there anything you want?" |
32051 | Like it? |
32051 | Like me to go and find it? |
32051 | London must be full of soldiers? |
32051 | My dear Cotton, when will you learn to gather information from your rations by a method of deduction? |
32051 | Only one-- how many have you? |
32051 | Quick, Arnold, my right pocket-- feel in it; some papers there-- a secret code-- take them out-- tear them up-- quickly; tell me have you done it? |
32051 | See no light-- nothing, no? |
32051 | Sergeant, excuse me, but is this the beastly hole where B Company is to be found? |
32051 | Shall I have a go at them? |
32051 | Six ounces of jam for the 19 Canadians; how much is that? |
32051 | Then, I shall have to cross over the lower trench; is n''t that occupied, sir? |
32051 | Well, but how does one keep order? |
32051 | Well, did he know you had never been down to the station before? |
32051 | Well, do you think when the war is over there will be any hard feeling? 32051 Well, had a good rest?" |
32051 | Well, what does one have to do? |
32051 | Well, what have you come here for? |
32051 | Were you free to make any complaints to him if you wished? |
32051 | What about ammunition and water, sir? |
32051 | What about the blockade? |
32051 | What are the trenches like, sir? |
32051 | What are you doing here? |
32051 | What are you filling your water- bottle for? |
32051 | What are you fussing about for? 32051 What are you going to put it in?" |
32051 | What camps have you got? |
32051 | What do you usually get? |
32051 | What for? |
32051 | What happened? |
32051 | What regiments do they belong to? |
32051 | What''s up, D''Arcy? 32051 What''s up?" |
32051 | When do you think the war will be over? |
32051 | When is zero hour, sir? |
32051 | Where do you buy such goot boots? |
32051 | Where is Mr. Chislehirst, then? |
32051 | Where is Mr. D''Arcy and Corporal Brown? |
32051 | Where''s the Boche? |
32051 | Which is the way to headquarters? |
32051 | Why not, Cotton? 32051 Why, Septimus, is that you?" |
32051 | Why, what is all this about? |
32051 | Ye- s,he drawled,"but a demned overcrowded one-- what?" |
32051 | You do not get the same rations at Osnabruck as private soldiers? 32051 You have dem give you, yah?" |
32051 | Your billet? 32051 Your health, vot, is your health goot-- yah?" |
32051 | A voice from somewhere behind me said:"This is death; will you come?" |
32051 | Am I not better off, after all, than he who was born blind? |
32051 | And what after? |
32051 | And what are my feelings? |
32051 | And what is taking place in England to- day? |
32051 | And what of my wound-- how much longer must I go before it was attended to? |
32051 | And what was happening to it all this time? |
32051 | And where was Falfemont Farm? |
32051 | Anxiously I glanced back toward the wood; why did they not come? |
32051 | Any whisky and soda?" |
32051 | Are the people left behind in England suffering hardships uncomplainingly, and gritting their teeth like you are? |
32051 | Are we not on an island? |
32051 | Are you taking us the right way?" |
32051 | But are they the real heroes of the war? |
32051 | But do we think of it enough, or have we forgotten it? |
32051 | But even if we got there, how long could I hope to hold out with such a handful of men? |
32051 | But how much do you get? |
32051 | But those who wait at home-- what of them? |
32051 | But what did this uncanny silence mean?--Arnold, where was he? |
32051 | But what were those peculiar stumps to the left of our trenches? |
32051 | But where was I? |
32051 | But where were Septimus and the corporal? |
32051 | But you are the guide, are n''t you?" |
32051 | C Company will be in the wood on your left; and A Company will be on your right-- understand?" |
32051 | Can I have one as my personal attendant? |
32051 | Could we hope to accomplish the double task? |
32051 | Did other people understand what life was? |
32051 | Do I look starved? |
32051 | Do you get_ all_ that?" |
32051 | Do you happen to know?" |
32051 | Do you know that for months past we''ve been digging a new line, a straight line between Lille and Verdun, which will shorten our line by half? |
32051 | Do you mean to tell me that you are not sure of the way?" |
32051 | Do you mean you sleep here?" |
32051 | Do you think things will settle down, and we shall be able to live there again as we did before?" |
32051 | Getting peppered pretty hot, are n''t you?" |
32051 | Good morning; you relieve the---- Battalion, London Regiment, already-- yes?" |
32051 | Got any water?" |
32051 | Had I not made up my mind it would come? |
32051 | Had I passed away, and was this the next life? |
32051 | Has my kit arrived?" |
32051 | Has the ammunition arrived yet?" |
32051 | Have we not a barbed wire supplied by nature completely surrounding our country? |
32051 | Have you ever experienced the feeling? |
32051 | Have you ever had such a problem as that? |
32051 | He spoke fairly good English:"You quite blind?" |
32051 | He would sometimes sit by my bed for a chat:"Where were you wounded, Captain?" |
32051 | His words came painfully:"The ammunition-- is it-- safe?" |
32051 | Horror, anxiety, success, failure, mutilation, death; which was it to be? |
32051 | How can I choose?" |
32051 | How can I keep order in a train half a mile long with men I know nothing about?" |
32051 | How could they stand it with such calm and determined indifference? |
32051 | How do you pay?" |
32051 | How long would I be left here unattended? |
32051 | How many of those lying around, silent companions of their thoughts, were thinking the same as I? |
32051 | How many wheelwrights''shops are there in England which could do to- day with one of the wheelwrights we are keeping idle behind barbed wire? |
32051 | I could hear no guns-- a bed? |
32051 | I was unarmed and helpless; what need to answer such a call? |
32051 | I whispered to him:"What is that noise?" |
32051 | I wonder if the other man is still drawing overtime, and wearing a war- service badge? |
32051 | If Falfemont Farm got blown to smithereens like that, what chance did I stand? |
32051 | If I were to crawl, which way should I go and where should I find myself? |
32051 | Is it really true that some men in England are unable or unwilling to share the nation''s peril-- are even threatening to strike? |
32051 | Is it really true that women in England are dressing more extravagantly than ever? |
32051 | Is that the thing to do?" |
32051 | It''s hell, is n''t it? |
32051 | No?" |
32051 | Passing along the line, I overheard two men talking in an undertone:"How do you like it, Timmy?" |
32051 | Rather uncomfortable-- what?" |
32051 | Seventy- nine pounds of cheese for the Manchesters; does any one know what seventy- nine pounds of cheese looks like? |
32051 | Shall we do these things for a penny an hour? |
32051 | Shall we do these things so that we can stand up for these so- called rights in England? |
32051 | Shall we leave unprotected those desperate men across the valley, who are hanging on tooth and nail to those last trenches gained? |
32051 | Shall we stop those guns for a penny an hour? |
32051 | Surely I did before I started? |
32051 | Surrender? |
32051 | The man was taking off my boots:"Dese very goot boots, yah?" |
32051 | Then he would speak, and each would find some word to make the other understand:"Cigarette, Capitaine?" |
32051 | Unearthly row; devilishly dangerous place, this-- what?" |
32051 | Uninteresting spot this-- what?" |
32051 | WEEKS OF MOURNING Meanwhile, what was transpiring at home? |
32051 | Was I not shot through the head and left to die? |
32051 | Was it the ambition of a nation, guided by the despotic direction of a tyrant? |
32051 | Was it then to come to this, after all? |
32051 | Well, who cares? |
32051 | Were our preparations to be nipped in the bud, after all? |
32051 | What camp would you like to go to?" |
32051 | What could it mean? |
32051 | What did anything matter? |
32051 | What did that mean? |
32051 | What do they call it now? |
32051 | What had been my suffering to theirs? |
32051 | What had destiny in store for us? |
32051 | What has happened?" |
32051 | What have you brought with you?" |
32051 | What if I should be lost all night? |
32051 | What information did that man''s employer gain by the way the work was done? |
32051 | What interpretation had been put upon my absence? |
32051 | What is their quarrel to this? |
32051 | What mercy could I hope from him? |
32051 | What physical pain could compare with such anguish as theirs? |
32051 | What strange wonder was this? |
32051 | What time had I to make new plans and explain to each man his new task? |
32051 | What time was there? |
32051 | What was I to do next? |
32051 | What was happening over there? |
32051 | What was happening over yonder where those shells were dropping? |
32051 | What was happening over yonder, where the iron of England''s anger was falling, bursting, tearing, killing? |
32051 | What was that droning, whistling noise far overhead? |
32051 | What was that? |
32051 | What was the future? |
32051 | What was the meaning of it all? |
32051 | What was to be done? |
32051 | What were a few bullets compared with the pluck and silent self- sacrifice of the women of Britain, who were untrained to bear such shocks? |
32051 | What were they up to? |
32051 | What will England think of this? |
32051 | What would they think? |
32051 | When would we get back, and how many of us? |
32051 | Where are you off to?" |
32051 | Where did he go?" |
32051 | Where then could I be? |
32051 | Where was the German line, and where was the British? |
32051 | Where were the supports? |
32051 | Where were we going? |
32051 | Where''s the captain?" |
32051 | Who are the true heroes of the war? |
32051 | Who are those fellows creeping along that trench?" |
32051 | Who detailed you?" |
32051 | Who do you think is in there?" |
32051 | Who ever heard of Leuze Wood before? |
32051 | Who is there?" |
32051 | Who told you that?" |
32051 | Who would return in glory? |
32051 | Whose power was it to transform these lives so ruthlessly from the habits of peace to become instruments of war? |
32051 | Whose was the hand which plucked us from homes and families, to hurl us into the caldron of hell? |
32051 | Why do n''t you strike at this critical moment? |
32051 | Why should he want to talk to me? |
32051 | Why were they biting their pencils and thinking so hard? |
32051 | Why?" |
32051 | Will the world ever know what these men faced and fought against-- these men of the City of London? |
32051 | Will you form up farther to the left?" |
32051 | Would it be a bullet or a bayonet thrust; and where would it strike me? |
32051 | Would it be a sudden rush; a desperate hand- to- hand fight?--and then, what then? |
32051 | Would we receive a similar reply? |
32051 | Yet, who is there to tell their deeds if they fall? |
32051 | You''ve lost, let us say, 700,000 men, and we have lost, say 500,000; and how far have you got? |
32051 | You, who are being coddled under the protection of these guns, what is your quarrel to this? |
32051 | and how was it possible to sit down quietly and digest those three pages of new orders and understand their meaning? |
32051 | any news?" |
32051 | looked up without turning a hair:"Any one hurt?" |
32051 | what did that silence mean? |
34973 | A secret organization? |
34973 | Ah, a younger brother? |
34973 | Ah? |
34973 | All right,said Webster, immeasurably relieved,"but how do we manage it?" |
34973 | An''dat young leddy am gwine to meet somebody, mebbe her husband, at de landin''? |
34973 | An''you cum frum Richmun''dis mo''nin? |
34973 | And if I am,said Scobell,"what do you want?" |
34973 | And what if he is in the Federal army? 34973 Are you quite sure of that?" |
34973 | Are you still keeping mum? |
34973 | Are you subject to fits? |
34973 | Are your names Lewis and Scully? |
34973 | Arms? 34973 Bill Zigler, what are you doing here? |
34973 | But about the authorities--I asked--"is there no danger to be apprehended from them?" |
34973 | But how can that interfere with the election? |
34973 | But what can we do? |
34973 | But what crime has the stranger committed, that he should thus be taken into custody? |
34973 | But where are you from? |
34973 | But,said I,"have all the plans been matured, and are there no fears of failure? |
34973 | Captain,said Mr. Scott, addressing him,"will you give me the particulars of the arrest of this man?" |
34973 | Did he ask anything about me? |
34973 | Did you come from the Yanks? |
34973 | Did you ever see it done? |
34973 | Did you see any one last evening who is inimical to the cause of the government? |
34973 | Did you speak to me, sir? |
34973 | Do n''t offer to touch me, Dan McCowan, or I''ll----"What would you do, now? |
34973 | Do you know anything about the hotels there? |
34973 | Do you know anything of McClellan''s plans for an advance? |
34973 | Do you know this man, and that he is all right? |
34973 | Do you know whether your mistress writes to any one besides her husband? |
34973 | Do you suppose,added Webster,"that Kentucky will allow the Northern army to march through the State without showing fight?" |
34973 | Drivers? 34973 Great G-- d, Webster, how did you manage to get away from the Yanks?" |
34973 | Have the objects of the league been fully explained to him? |
34973 | Have you arms enough for all of them? |
34973 | Have you no more sense than to reveal yourself_ here_? 34973 His name?" |
34973 | How did that occur? |
34973 | How did you get through the Union lines? |
34973 | How did you manage to get inside the camp? |
34973 | How do the men who operate the machine manage to attach the magazine to the vessel they design to destroy? |
34973 | How do you account for General McClellan''s''masterly inactivity''during all these months that his army lay at Washington? |
34973 | How far is it to Wilson''s landing? |
34973 | How often do you meet? |
34973 | I am ready now, Major,said he, cheerily,"have you any further commands?" |
34973 | I am, eh? |
34973 | I can readily believe that,said the detective,"but if it is so dangerous here, how am I going to deliver these letters?" |
34973 | I dun spose you''s on de way to Yu''ktown? |
34973 | I thought you would come to your senses at last; but when did you come down here? |
34973 | I understand; but who is this John Hart you mention-- can we trust him? |
34973 | I want to telegraph to the_ Herald_,said the second correspondent--"what is the use of obtaining news if we can not utilize it?" |
34973 | In Washington, sah,replied Uncle Gallus;"don''you remember you saw me at Majah Allen''s, when I was dah libin wid Missus Morton?" |
34973 | Is Mrs. Morton in communication with her husband? |
34973 | Is it a conspiracy to betray me into the hands of the enemy? |
34973 | Is it a success? |
34973 | Is n''t that a little severe? |
34973 | Is the landlady all right? |
34973 | Is there a new sensation this morning? |
34973 | Is there no way of getting over about here at all? |
34973 | Is your name John Hart? |
34973 | It does not look very favorable for my reaching Washington to- morrow, then? |
34973 | May I ask where you are from? |
34973 | May I see him before he is taken away? |
34973 | Names? |
34973 | No doubt of it, Doctor; but how do you expect to get two hours''notice? |
34973 | No, I do n''t remember you,said Webster, determined to ascertain whether the old darky did know him;"where have you ever seen me?" |
34973 | Now,he exclaimed, turning to Curtis,"What is your business? |
34973 | On the word and honor of a gentleman? |
34973 | See heah now, is yure name John? |
34973 | Severe? 34973 So soon?" |
34973 | So you want me to take you to Fredericksburg, do you? |
34973 | The gentleman is up- stairs in my room,said Earl;"will you go up now and see him?" |
34973 | Then you do n''t want to be free? |
34973 | This is bad news about Lewis and Scully, is n''t it? |
34973 | This is infamous,exclaimed Webster;"what can Winder mean by arresting this woman, and what am I charged with that renders your orders necessary?" |
34973 | To go where? |
34973 | Under arrest? 34973 Was he an officer?" |
34973 | Was the landlady looking for us too? |
34973 | We heard you had been taken prisoner-- how did you get out so soon? |
34973 | Well, John,said Webster at length,"what is the prospect for crossing the river to- night?" |
34973 | Well, then,smiled Webster,"I suppose I will have to wait his pleasure; but ca n''t a fellow get a little whisky and cigar? |
34973 | Well, uncle,said Webster, as the old man caught up to him--"did you speak to me?" |
34973 | Well, what is it, Miss Harcourt? 34973 Well,"said Webster,"will you be kind enough to send for Mr. McPhail, and ask him to telegraph to Major Allen, and inquire if Tim is all right?" |
34973 | What Major Allen is that? |
34973 | What crime have I committed? |
34973 | What do you desire? |
34973 | What do you mean, sir? |
34973 | What do you mean, you scoundrel? |
34973 | What do you mean? |
34973 | What does this mean? |
34973 | What for? |
34973 | What has become of your assailants? |
34973 | What has happened to frighten you so? |
34973 | What have you got to sell? |
34973 | What is his name? |
34973 | What is it? |
34973 | What is the matter, Jem? |
34973 | What is the matter? |
34973 | What is your business? |
34973 | What is your hour of meeting? |
34973 | What is your name? |
34973 | What is your name? |
34973 | What is your name? |
34973 | What is your native State, Uncle Gallus? |
34973 | What is your society called? |
34973 | What makes you think so? |
34973 | What makes you think that? |
34973 | What regiment does he belong to? |
34973 | What''s this? |
34973 | When did this occur? |
34973 | When do you propose to let us out? |
34973 | When will your next meeting be held? |
34973 | Where do you live? |
34973 | Where from? |
34973 | Where to? |
34973 | Which is which? |
34973 | Which way is he going? |
34973 | Who do you want to see there? |
34973 | Who is he? |
34973 | Who is it? |
34973 | Who should assume the task of liberating the nation of the foul presence of the abolitionist leader? |
34973 | Whom have you here? |
34973 | Why could n''t I go, too? |
34973 | Why did n''t you tell them that, when they called out to you before? |
34973 | Why do you think so? |
34973 | Why do you think so? |
34973 | Why, Mr. Pinkerton, what are you doing here? |
34973 | Why, Webster, how do you do? 34973 Why, Webster, is that you?" |
34973 | Why,I interrupted,"what can they know about Lincoln?" |
34973 | Why,replied his friend, laughingly,"have n''t you heard of the subterranean headquarters?" |
34973 | Yes,said Scobell;"but how do you know these things? |
34973 | You are a Northern man? |
34973 | You are going to Humboldt? |
34973 | You do n''t tell me that you took the oath, Sam? |
34973 | You have been a slave all your life, I understand? |
34973 | You have news for me,said Webster, impatiently;"what is it?" |
34973 | You l- licked''em like the d- d- devil at Williamsburgh, d- d- d- didn''t you? |
34973 | You will not tell him what you know of Webster, and his connection with this matter, will you? |
34973 | You''ll come back? |
34973 | You''se de man dat I''dressed, sah-- done you know me? |
34973 | Your age and weight? |
34973 | Your mistress intends to return to the South, then? |
34973 | Your name is Gallus? |
34973 | After a few minutes a window was raised and a voice inquired angrily:"Who are you, and what do you want?" |
34973 | After waiting a short time, and hearing no response, he added:"What''d you say? |
34973 | Ai n''t them your s- s- sentiments?" |
34973 | And another voice, further away, cried:"Who''s there?" |
34973 | And who is the man who arrested him?" |
34973 | As he entered the cell where Webster was reclining upon his couch, he roughly accosted him:"Webster you have sent for me; what is it that you desire?" |
34973 | At these words, Scobell stepped forward and said in a low voice:"Do you belong to the League?" |
34973 | At this point the question might be asked, whose plan should have been followed? |
34973 | Bingerdon?" |
34973 | But how will I get there?" |
34973 | Can you attend to this?" |
34973 | Catching the drift of the conversation, Webster stepped forward and said:"I beg pardon, sir; will you permit me to ask one question?" |
34973 | Could it be that they were Webster and his faithful attendant Mrs. Lawton? |
34973 | Did he suspect them? |
34973 | Do n''t you see I''m rounding to?" |
34973 | Do n''t you see that in another moment you''ll have us beached?" |
34973 | Do you know gentlemen, I suspected you were all wrong from the start, and you were not keen enough to impose your story upon me? |
34973 | Do you know where he is?" |
34973 | Do you think you can manage it for them?" |
34973 | Feeling alarmed lest the helmsman was not attending to his duty, my son yelled:"Captain, what under heaven do you mean? |
34973 | Filled with curiosity as to the identity of the man, Webster carelessly observed to the landlord:"That fellow seemed a little nervous, does n''t he?" |
34973 | Has anybody been here to see you?" |
34973 | Have you any objections?" |
34973 | Have you heard the news?" |
34973 | How am I going to do it?" |
34973 | How to intercede in their behalf? |
34973 | How, therefore, to arrange his plans, so that these papers would be intercepted and the ambassador detained without arousing his suspicion? |
34973 | I am glad to see you; when did you get back to Baltimore?" |
34973 | Immediately a guarded voice on the inside was heard:"Are you white?" |
34973 | Linkum am a- comin''by''m- bye; Did you ebber see a niggah gal dancin''in de moonlight? |
34973 | May I ask your name, sir?" |
34973 | On nearing Gloucester Point, they were hailed by a sentinel, with the usual challenge:"Who comes there?" |
34973 | On one of these occasions Governor Owens eyed his companion sharply a moment, and then asked:"Can I trust you, sir?" |
34973 | Presently he heard a shrill whistle from his conductor, which was replied to from above with the query:"Who comes?" |
34973 | Raising himself to his full height, he exclaimed:"Rome had her Brutus, why should not we? |
34973 | Seward?" |
34973 | Some one in the party remarked:"Are there no other means of saving the South except by assassination?" |
34973 | Stepping directly up to Price Lewis, he addressed him:"Do n''t you remember me?" |
34973 | The absorbing and exciting question in the South was:"Would the South submit to a Black Republican President and a Black Republican Congress?" |
34973 | The driver suddenly pulled up his horses, and then the soldier, in a tone of authority:"Who are you, and where are you going?" |
34973 | The gruff- voiced speaker then said:"Mr. Webster, is it your desire to become a member of this knightly band?" |
34973 | The question to be decided this evening was:"Who should do the deed?" |
34973 | The work is light-- now what do you say?" |
34973 | There seemed to be several persons here, and a voice, that was evidently meant to be tragical and impressive, demanded:"Whom have we here?" |
34973 | These questions were properly answered, and as the clerk was noting them he asked,"Might I ask what was the gentleman''s good luck?" |
34973 | They were about to take these from him, when Webster inquired:"Who was the man who arrested me this morning?" |
34973 | This answer seemed to infuriate the man, and striding up to Webster, he asked, with an air of impertinence:"Are you a Southern man?" |
34973 | Wallace?" |
34973 | What then? |
34973 | What was to be done? |
34973 | What, then, is your true name?" |
34973 | Where had he met this darky before? |
34973 | Who can blame this man? |
34973 | Who can tell the thoughts that thronged through their brains, as the slow moving hours advanced toward the dawn? |
34973 | Who comes there?" |
34973 | Who, that has stood before the frowning scaffold, and with a free world before him, can utter words of censure? |
34973 | Will there, now, eh?" |
34973 | Will you drink her health with me?" |
34973 | You are not in earnest, Major?" |
34973 | You know stages are robbed out this way?" |
34973 | You noticed that man standing in the hall when we came in, the same one now sitting at the desk?" |
34973 | You''re_ here_, are you? |
34973 | and if so, by what means had he discovered who they were and what their destination was? |
34973 | exclaimed Lawton, as they came up,"are you hurt?" |
34973 | he continued,"and what is the news from the Monumental City?" |
34973 | how are you?" |
34973 | said the clerk, driving away with his pen;"will you be so good as to ask Mr. Mallory to step this way?" |
34973 | you were afraid of them, were you, and ran away?" |
51451 | Are you a soldier? |
51451 | Are you? |
51451 | But how about the dogs? 51451 But suppose they come after us now, wo n''t they find us?" |
51451 | But, Major, is there not another house nearer the line? 51451 But,"said I,"have you no compunctions about making a business of hunting down human beings this way?" |
51451 | Certainly it does, or how could I draw rations for the dogs? |
51451 | Colonel, the First Wisconsin Cavalry is camped here, is it not? |
51451 | Dat gun? 51451 Halloo, boys, is that you?" |
51451 | How about rain? |
51451 | How long is it since your master trusted you with a gun? 51451 How would it be in a running stream?" |
51451 | I am a Yankee officer, escaped from a Rebel prison, and I am trying to reach the Yankee army,I replied; and again I asked,"Will you betray me?" |
51451 | Reck''n that''s a pretty tough yarn to believe, now, ai n''t it? |
51451 | Then the Confederate government recognizes the use of hounds for this purpose as legitimate warfare, does it? |
51451 | Umph? |
51451 | Well, do you suppose I am a woodchuck? 51451 Well, what do you want here? |
51451 | Well, who are the Home Guard? |
51451 | What are you doing with that gun? |
51451 | What is this, Major? |
51451 | What kind of a ration? |
51451 | What pay do you draw? |
51451 | What regiment do you belong to? |
51451 | Where are they? |
51451 | Where are who? |
51451 | Where did you make your escape? |
51451 | Who are these men around you? 51451 Who are you, anyhow?" |
51451 | Who are you? |
51451 | Who are you? |
51451 | Who do you belong to, then? 51451 Who in hell are you?" |
51451 | Who is you? |
51451 | Who, in God''s name, do you take us to be? |
51451 | Whose gun is that? |
51451 | Why did n''t you answer when I challenged? |
51451 | Why did you do that? 51451 Why do you halt?" |
51451 | Why? |
51451 | Why? |
51451 | Wondah what dat shot foh? |
51451 | Would those dogs have bitten us, if you had not called them off? |
51451 | Yes, and you found three of them, eh? |
51451 | You do n''t pretend to say that you have come all the way from Charleston, right through the Reb country? |
51451 | You do n''t pretend you are a slave? |
51451 | _ Know them?_ I should rather think I did. 51451 ''Pears like ye was holler all de way down, do n''t it, honeys? |
51451 | Are you a Union man?" |
51451 | At length he asked,"Is you Jordan''s men?" |
51451 | At length the Major challenged,"Who comes there?" |
51451 | Bringing his carbine to bear on us, the fellow called out:"Well, Yanks, do you surrender?" |
51451 | But what has become of it?" |
51451 | But what was the matter with the trees? |
51451 | But who is you? |
51451 | Can we reach it in time? |
51451 | Could it be that there was a picket line here, so far away from the contending forces? |
51451 | Could the beasts follow us through the water? |
51451 | Did n''t I talk wid dem, an''did n''t dey talk Yankee? |
51451 | Did n''t we starve together in Rebel prisons? |
51451 | Did you know him?" |
51451 | Do you hear it? |
51451 | Do you hear that? |
51451 | Do you hear them? |
51451 | Do you know any of the members of that regiment?" |
51451 | Do you know where Gordon''s brigade is? |
51451 | Do you think I can fly?" |
51451 | Had they been intercepted and taken prisoners? |
51451 | Hare only laughed at them, asking them what they supposed he cared for life, with one leg gone? |
51451 | Hatcher must be got over the stream in some way, but how? |
51451 | How do you suppose I know which two men you mean?" |
51451 | If we do, will it be under the Stars and Stripes, or within the walls of a prison pen? |
51451 | If we had lost the battle, what was the reason we were not shipped to Libby and Belle Isle? |
51451 | Immediately after our examination was closed, one of the men came up to us and said,"Did you uns stop at a house back here, this morning?" |
51451 | Is dat so? |
51451 | Is there not a possibility that we may be attacked even here?" |
51451 | Must we stop here? |
51451 | No hope of exchange, I suppose?" |
51451 | Not a word was spoken until the picket challenged,"Who goes there?" |
51451 | Now you wo n''t betray us, will you, when you know we''re trying to help you and your people, and to give them their liberty? |
51451 | On-- yes, but in what direction? |
51451 | One motherly old woman, after peering into our faces, asked:"W''en did ye hab anyt''ing to eat las'', honey?" |
51451 | Only five miles to liberty? |
51451 | Or had they voluntarily cut loose from us, and taken this method of doing it? |
51451 | Or was it that the country had been notified of our escape, and that the inhabitants were out looking for us? |
51451 | Or would he be faithful to his race, by succoring their recognized friends? |
51451 | Ought we not to feel grateful to our Southern brethren for the sumptuous manner in which they entertained us? |
51451 | Our conversation, as my memory serves me, was substantially as follows:_ Yankee._ Well, boy, where are you traveling so late at night? |
51451 | Reckon you uns mus''be hungry, ai nt ye? |
51451 | Rising to his feet, he exclaimed:"Who is you?" |
51451 | Run now, while we had a chance, or wait and fight? |
51451 | Shall we ever meet again? |
51451 | Shall we run? |
51451 | Some one inquired,"Why?" |
51451 | Spencer, a good singer, gave them the song,"Who will care for mother now?" |
51451 | That''s on the railroad, is n''t it? |
51451 | The natural inquiry will arise: What became of the dirt? |
51451 | To my astonishment, he exclaimed in startled tones:"Who is you, Mars?" |
51451 | Walking up to him, I placed my hand on his shoulder and looking him in the eye, asked:"Old man, if I place my life in your hands, will you betray me?" |
51451 | Was he watching to get a shot at us? |
51451 | Was it a guerilla party out on a scout? |
51451 | Was it an outpost of the enemy''s cavalry? |
51451 | Was there more than one person''s step? |
51451 | Wat de mattah now, ole boy? |
51451 | Wat for you asks such queer questions? |
51451 | Wat ye got, dat scars ye so?" |
51451 | Were the negroes building a fire for fun? |
51451 | Were they after us? |
51451 | Were they after us? |
51451 | What could it mean? |
51451 | What could it mean? |
51451 | What do you want to deceive us for?" |
51451 | What is that? |
51451 | What is that? |
51451 | What is this? |
51451 | What should we do? |
51451 | What should we do? |
51451 | What should we do? |
51451 | What was it best to do? |
51451 | Where is Captain Clinton?" |
51451 | Where is Colonel La Grange?" |
51451 | Which way are they heading? |
51451 | Which would succeed? |
51451 | Who and what are they?" |
51451 | Who comes there?" |
51451 | Why do you ask?" |
51451 | Why should a fire be kindled in the road? |
51451 | Why were you frightened at our approach?" |
51451 | Will they be able to discover our retreat? |
51451 | Wot ken I do? |
51451 | Would he be true to the interests of three unknown men, simply upon the statement that they were Yankees? |
51451 | Would it not be safer to get as near the line as possible? |
51451 | Would not the education of a lifetime of slavery teach him to side with the strong against the weak, as a matter of policy? |
51451 | Your master''s in the army, I suppose? |
51451 | _ Know them?_ Did n''t Kellogg and I dig tunnels together? |
51451 | _ Know them?_ Did n''t Kellogg and I dig tunnels together? |
51451 | _ Negro._ Who is you, Massa? |
51451 | _ Prisoners Again_ Would our ruse be successful? |
51451 | _ Yank._ In which direction did they go? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ Now, supposing you found a man on his road to liberty, that had been a slave or prisoner, would you help him, or would you betray him? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ Suppose we tell you; suppose we put our lives in your hands-- will you betray us? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ That''s his plantation about a mile down this road, is n''t it? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ Well, boy, what do you think of the war now going on? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ Where does your wife live? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ Whose boy are you? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ Would you rather be free or would you rather be as you are-- a slave? |
51451 | _ Yankee._ You know that the Yankees are trying to make you blacks all free, do n''t you? |
51451 | he rejoined;"but how did you live?" |
12013 | Against us? |
12013 | And call it a draw? |
12013 | And how did the Germans act? |
12013 | And is America next on the programme? |
12013 | And the noise of it to you aloft, spotting the shots? |
12013 | And then? |
12013 | And who are our clerks? 12013 And will ye look at this and take it home to give your pro- German Irish in America, to show what their friends are shooting at the Irish? |
12013 | And your Legion of Honour? |
12013 | And yourself? |
12013 | Any shelling? |
12013 | Anybody out? |
12013 | Are all the population here as usual? |
12013 | Are all these men and women who are living together married? |
12013 | Are n''t you going to have dinner with us? |
12013 | Are you an Englishman? |
12013 | Are you learning to think in big numbers? |
12013 | Are you ready? 12013 At what?" |
12013 | But do n''t you love your Kaiser? |
12013 | Did one in five German shells hit at that range? |
12013 | Did you get any shells in your neighbourhood? |
12013 | Did you get any? |
12013 | Do n''t you ever worry about aerial raids? |
12013 | Do n''t you get lonesome? |
12013 | Do n''t you know who they are? 12013 Do the men in the trenches worry about them?" |
12013 | Do the men like to become bombers? |
12013 | Do you mean that I am to speak without regard to personal sympathies? |
12013 | Do you think that we shall starve the Germans out? |
12013 | Does everything go well? |
12013 | Does it look to you like an opening in the branches of that tree-- the big one at the right? |
12013 | Frightened? |
12013 | Has anyone asked him it yet? |
12013 | Have we permission to go out and bury them, sir? |
12013 | Have you ever been hurt in your handling of bombs? |
12013 | Have you ever been to Paris? |
12013 | Have you had enough? |
12013 | Have you heard anything? |
12013 | How are things going on over your side? |
12013 | How can they when they ai n''t over the Balkans yet? |
12013 | How could we, sir? |
12013 | How do they feel in the States? |
12013 | How do they fight? |
12013 | How do you like it? |
12013 | How do you like this kind of war? |
12013 | How does it go? |
12013 | How is J------? 12013 How is it? |
12013 | How soon after we leave the trenches may we cheer? |
12013 | I suppose I''d get a little if I stood up on the parapet? |
12013 | If it were a German flag? |
12013 | In case of a submarine you do not want to lose any time; is that it? |
12013 | Is n''t that boy pretty young to handle that big shell? |
12013 | Is that fuse out? |
12013 | Is that what they think at home? |
12013 | It''s a case of how little water you can wash with, is n''t it? |
12013 | May I have this confiture? |
12013 | Need a stretcher? |
12013 | No farther? |
12013 | Not yet? 12013 Now, which is my house?" |
12013 | Ours or the Boches''? |
12013 | Probably they are hating the French to- day? |
12013 | Quite cosy, do n''t you think? |
12013 | Shall we go on or shall we go back? |
12013 | So it''s you, is it, right from America? |
12013 | Still, you would like the war over? 12013 The food was just as good, was n''t it?" |
12013 | Then you''re pretty well fed? |
12013 | Those guns that I hear, are they firing across the frontier? |
12013 | Using the sling? |
12013 | Was it like what you thought it would be after all your training for a naval action? |
12013 | Well fed, is it? 12013 Well, shall we go back?" |
12013 | Were you here during the fighting? |
12013 | What are you going to do in America? 12013 What do you do when there is shelling?" |
12013 | What do you think I am? 12013 What good would it do to hate them? |
12013 | What if I have n''t a chill in my bones? |
12013 | What if a German shell should strike your storehouse? |
12013 | What if we had been seen? |
12013 | What if you should shout at Tommy in the German fashion? |
12013 | What is that for? |
12013 | When did you enlist? |
12013 | When? |
12013 | Where is it? |
12013 | Which might include the communication trench? |
12013 | Who are you? 12013 Who are you?" |
12013 | Will they do it? |
12013 | Will you have a shot, sir? |
12013 | Wo n''t you strafe a little for us? |
12013 | Would the guard hit a Frenchman in that way? |
12013 | Would you like a Boche helmet for a souvenir, sir? |
12013 | You are not doing much firing these days? |
12013 | You could tell? |
12013 | You hate to see him go? |
12013 | You too hate, then? |
12013 | You were not frightened? 12013 You would n''t deny them their fireworks, would you, sir?" |
12013 | A blooming traffic policeman?" |
12013 | A common question that, at the front,"Did you get any?" |
12013 | A shortage of the long, white- leafed chicory that we call endive in New York restaurants? |
12013 | After the retreat and after the victory of the Marne, what was England''s position? |
12013 | Also, Would the French and the British arrive in time to help you? |
12013 | And how make sure that those who had money should pay for their bread, while all who had not should be reached? |
12013 | And the Germans were saying, What if we should not win all that we are entitled to? |
12013 | And the Kaiser? |
12013 | And the gun- layer? |
12013 | And their health? |
12013 | And then? |
12013 | And was this all of the greatest naval force ever gathered under a single command, these two or three lines of ships? |
12013 | And what happened inside? |
12013 | And who if not men in the trenches was entitled to cake, I should like to know? |
12013 | Are you for us or against us? |
12013 | Are you for us? |
12013 | Boulogne, which two weeks before had been cheering the advent of"Tommee Atkeens"singing"Why should we be downhearted?" |
12013 | But as time wore on into the summer and autumn of the second year, some of them began to think, What was the use? |
12013 | But does not outside influence play a part? |
12013 | But eighteen thousand-- was accuracy possible at that distance? |
12013 | But how does it know that the armour of the turrets is good, or that the guns will fire accurately? |
12013 | But then, how many Americans have been to Mount Vernon and Gettysburg? |
12013 | But was it still ours? |
12013 | But where had the shell entered? |
12013 | But who worries about shells? |
12013 | But, considering the law of chance, what about the surviving one out of an original ten? |
12013 | Could it bring the fullness of its strength into the first and perhaps the deciding shock of arms? |
12013 | Did n''t he need the crop? |
12013 | Did n''t the sound seem a little nearer? |
12013 | Did you hear about the big French peasant soldier who captured a Prussian eagle in Alsace? |
12013 | Do n''t you go to war to win? |
12013 | Do n''t you think that''s kind of ridiculous, sir?" |
12013 | Do you hate them?" |
12013 | Do you see it? |
12013 | Do you seek team- work, spirit of corps, and smartness in this theatre of France, where all the old glamour of war is supposed to be lacking? |
12013 | Does a débutante go to sleep at her first ball? |
12013 | Enlist in the army?" |
12013 | Go away? |
12013 | Had the Germans succeeded in"strafing"us out of it yet? |
12013 | Has he been maimed for life? |
12013 | Have n''t we waited forty years for this day? |
12013 | Have you had any strikes here?" |
12013 | Have you your rubber boots?" |
12013 | Hit badly?" |
12013 | How about it?" |
12013 | How can we be? |
12013 | How could I when the Lord''s work had come to me?" |
12013 | How could he sit so calmly under shell- fire without marmalade? |
12013 | How could such a shy, peaceful- looking array send out broadsides of twelve and thirteen- five and fifteen- inch shells? |
12013 | How could such apparently unwieldy monsters, in such a slippery element as the sea, be made to obey their masters with such fine precision? |
12013 | How get the bread to the hungry mouths when the Germans were using Belgian railroads for military purposes? |
12013 | How had it been able to inform this lone sentry of that flying ray which disclosed the line of a coastal road to anyone at sea? |
12013 | How long had the plugman been on his job? |
12013 | How long would it last? |
12013 | How many destroyers has the British navy? |
12013 | How many more had the British navy caught young and trained to such quickness of decision and in the art of imparting it to his men? |
12013 | How many more? |
12013 | How many soldiers would it take to enforce the regulation that no Belgian was to wear the Belgian colours? |
12013 | How much farther had we gone? |
12013 | I suppose you have the same kind of a society in New York and would turn to it for help if the Germans occupied New York?" |
12013 | I thought of the lid of a cauldron raised to let out a burst of steam as she asked"When?" |
12013 | If I stayed during the fighting and when the Germans were here, why should I leave now? |
12013 | If an American had a lump in his throat at the thought of what it meant, what might it not mean to an Englishman? |
12013 | If hates help to win, why not hate as hard as you can? |
12013 | If so, why do n''t the Germans widen it? |
12013 | If they had n''t, how could we have accomplished that?" |
12013 | If you go as a stranger into the trenches on a sightseeing tour and says,"How are you?" |
12013 | If you, a well- behaved citizen, have ever been arrested and marched through the streets of your home town by a policeman, how did you like it? |
12013 | In succeeding days the question up and down the lines was,"Have we still got that trench?" |
12013 | In ten years, what will be the Germans''attitude toward this war and their military lords? |
12013 | In the prince''s eye I noted a twinkle, which as much as said:"Well, why not? |
12013 | In twenty? |
12013 | Is His Majesty''s army becoming illiterate? |
12013 | Is he a good man? |
12013 | Is he a great man? |
12013 | Is it normal to have your sons, brothers, and husbands up to their knees in icy water in the trenches, in danger of death every minute? |
12013 | Is n''t it better that way? |
12013 | Is not that what England and France are fighting for? |
12013 | Is not that what all the speeches in Parliament are about and all the editorials and the recruiting campaign? |
12013 | Is the clock about to strike twelve or not? |
12013 | Is the sport of war dead? |
12013 | It being in the nature of submarines to sink, how does the hunter know when he has struck a mortal blow? |
12013 | It is the sort of thing that makes headquarters ask:"What is the matter with you over there, anyway?" |
12013 | It was:"Why do n''t you stop singing and bury your dead?" |
12013 | It would require some time to organize team- play, would n''t it? |
12013 | It''s stuffed we are, like the geese that grow the paty- what- do- you- call- it? |
12013 | Monsieur, would you have America judged by the White Way? |
12013 | Must one remain for ever in Paris, screened from any view of the great drama? |
12013 | Need more be said about the physical standard of the crews of the fighting ships of the Grand Fleet? |
12013 | No wonder, then, that the old Landsturm guards, used at home to saying"Wie gehts?" |
12013 | Only one suggestion quite frees the mind from the omnipresent theme: Will the Channel be smooth? |
12013 | Or an Englishman? |
12013 | Or in ten? |
12013 | Or was it that he, too, did not know what he was going against? |
12013 | Otherwise, how could the British navy have entrusted him with so important a task? |
12013 | Painful now?" |
12013 | Painted airships and a painted summer sky? |
12013 | Pitiful, that sweep over those mountain walls and through the passes? |
12013 | Pitiful, was it? |
12013 | Probably the Englishman would say,"I think that the fleet is all right, do n''t you?" |
12013 | Shall I call the general in chief command General X? |
12013 | Singular mental phenomenon, was n''t it?" |
12013 | Some mascots, eh?" |
12013 | Star boarders, eh? |
12013 | Struck in that way, could one fail to strike back? |
12013 | The French were saying, What if we should lose? |
12013 | The question on that day was not, Are you brave? |
12013 | The question was put into the recesses of the ambulance:"Would you prefer to spend the night here and go on in the morning?" |
12013 | Their children were born in the same way; they bled from wounds in the same way-- but why go on in this vicious circle of thought? |
12013 | Then all together: When do you think that the war will be over?" |
12013 | Then my friend asks,"How does it make you feel?" |
12013 | Then one asked, What if a summons to battle had come? |
12013 | There''s one with U.S.A. What paper is that?" |
12013 | They had n''t very far to go, had they? |
12013 | They wanted to know, What for? |
12013 | To show what a beautiful hand we had at printing?" |
12013 | Was Calais to be saved? |
12013 | Was Paris alive? |
12013 | Was it possible that he wore some kind of cloth which shed mud spatters? |
12013 | Was it to be''70 over again? |
12013 | Was n''t he going"out there?" |
12013 | Was n''t it his wheat? |
12013 | Was n''t it the way of the ancestors in the scarlet coats and the Merrie England of their day? |
12013 | Was our advance still continuing? |
12013 | Was the French army ready? |
12013 | Was the fleet really held prisoner by fear of submarines? |
12013 | Was the turret gear put out of order? |
12013 | Was this real, or was it extravaganza? |
12013 | We asked this question as often in our mess in those August days as, Will the Russians lose Warsaw? |
12013 | Were all the commanders of destroyers up to his mark? |
12013 | Were we never going to reach the battle- line, the magnet of our speed when a French army chauffeur made all speed laws obsolete? |
12013 | What did his wound matter? |
12013 | What did the Germans expect after the way that they had invaded Belgium? |
12013 | What do you think we put it up for? |
12013 | What do you think when you are climbing up a rope whose strands are breaking over the edge of a precipice? |
12013 | What do you think, sir?" |
12013 | What does this war mean to you? |
12013 | What else was there for he hothouses to do, though the export of their products was impossible? |
12013 | What feature of the nightmare had held most vividly in Sister Julie''s mind? |
12013 | What has the White Way to do with the New York of Seventy- Second Street or Harlem? |
12013 | What hopes? |
12013 | What if Boers had been in the Belgians''place? |
12013 | What if there were no bread to be had for work or money? |
12013 | What if they had seen the whole German army? |
12013 | What kind of a home has he, this private soldier? |
12013 | What mattered the ruins of her home? |
12013 | What might not happen? |
12013 | What quarrel could France and Germany have? |
12013 | What the deuced right has anybody to pass? |
12013 | What was going to happen? |
12013 | What was the force which could win them to cross the seas to fight for England? |
12013 | What was there to say? |
12013 | What were we doing there and speaking English-- English, the hateful language of the hated enemy? |
12013 | What would happen before he reappeared there for a gala performance? |
12013 | What would happen when the war was over? |
12013 | What would the world be without French civilization? |
12013 | What would you?" |
12013 | What''s the matter of a pair of mountain ranges between you and me, Bill? |
12013 | When again, in the shuffle of European politics, would the audience see the Tsar of Russia or the King of England by the Kaiser''s side? |
12013 | When should I be next in Brussels? |
12013 | When there is a difference, what is the beginner to do? |
12013 | When were the Allies coming? |
12013 | When were the English coming? |
12013 | When would the Allies come and turn the Germans out? |
12013 | When would the Allies come? |
12013 | When would the Allies come? |
12013 | When you see the one borne past, if there is nothing else to distract attention you always ask two questions: Will he die? |
12013 | When? |
12013 | When? |
12013 | When? |
12013 | Where next? |
12013 | Where the drillmasters for the new army? |
12013 | Where the leaders? |
12013 | Where was the British army? |
12013 | Where was the French army? |
12013 | Where was the man who had kept the shop with a few letters of his name still visible on a splintered bit of board? |
12013 | Where were the scars from the wounds? |
12013 | Where were they? |
12013 | Where will aerial progress end? |
12013 | Who deserves a good meal if not the officer who comes in from the front? |
12013 | Who knew how to carve? |
12013 | Who knows this better than the aviator? |
12013 | Who was at war? |
12013 | Who were our little party? |
12013 | Who were we and what business had we prowling about on that hill? |
12013 | Who would carve? |
12013 | Why deny it?" |
12013 | Why do n''t you go home?''" |
12013 | Why not? |
12013 | Why not? |
12013 | Why should n''t tartmakers go on making tarts and selling them? |
12013 | Why should n''t we share some of their dangers? |
12013 | Why should not Belgium come into the German customs union? |
12013 | Why should not Belgium make the best of her unfortunate situation, as became a practical and thrifty people? |
12013 | Why should not Roberts and myself come along? |
12013 | Why should not the soldiers help the farmers whose sons are away at the front and perhaps helping farmers back of some Other point of the line? |
12013 | Why stop now, only to have another terrible war in thirty or forty years? |
12013 | Why talk about it? |
12013 | Why was anyone at war? |
12013 | Why was it not attacking at the opportune moment when Germany was throwing her weight against Russia? |
12013 | Why were a lot of people paying so much attention to him for doing his duty? |
12013 | Will the next war be fought by forces that dive and fly like fishes and birds? |
12013 | Will this change after the war? |
12013 | With the whole telephone apparatus blown off the wall, as it were, how did he communicate? |
12013 | Would I send them one? |
12013 | Would n''t I have a souvenir? |
12013 | Would not he strike in red anger, without stopping to think of consequences? |
12013 | Would not the parents prefer it that way? |
12013 | Would the gun try to fire back? |
12013 | Would the peasants be able to get in their crops, with all the able- bodied men away? |
12013 | Would they have attempted guerrilla warfare? |
12013 | Would you or I want to bring destruction on neighbours in a land without any rural fastnesses as a rendezvous for operations? |
12013 | XXIX On The"Inflexible"What Englishman, let alone an American, knows the names of even all the British Dreadnoughts? |
12013 | XXVIII Ships That Have Fought But was that really it-- that spread of greyish blue- green dots set on a huge greyish blue- green platter? |
12013 | XXXIV British Problems Throughout the summer of 1915 the world was asking, What about the new British army? |
12013 | You asked who had trained them; who had fashioned the brown clay into resolute and loyal obedience which stood the test of a Flanders winter? |
12013 | You did not think of going away?" |
12013 | You do n''t happen to know where that is, sir? |
12013 | You''d like to go home?" |
12013 | and,"Are you comfortable?" |
12013 | and,"Are you going to Berlin?" |
12013 | but, Do you know how to fight? |
12013 | or, Are you against us? |
12013 | that only the German general knew? |
58509 | ''Are you whole, my boy?'' 58509 ''Where is the Major?'' |
58509 | And do you believe such tales? |
58509 | Are we both of the same mind? |
58509 | Are we going to the assault? |
58509 | Are you suffering much? |
58509 | Ask your mothers who are waiting for you, over yonder, in the deepest anguish, where they go in their sorrow and suffering? 58509 But, are you not aware that the Germans may enter the town from one minute to another?" |
58509 | Can I have my wounds dressed, Lieutenant? |
58509 | Do you know that Château- Thierry has been occupied to- day by the Germans, and that they have now left the town? |
58509 | Do you see them? |
58509 | Doctor, Doctor, am I going to be left here? |
58509 | Go to the darkest nave of a church, at a moment when the crowd is not bidden to the traditional exercises of worship, and what do you see? 58509 Have you been informed that some Belgian troops are coming to Soissons to- morrow to take the train?" |
58509 | Hi there, what are you doing? 58509 How long do you think the war will last?" |
58509 | I have done my duty, Major,he said,"have n''t I? |
58509 | Is Collyns still there and can I count on him? |
58509 | Is anyone hit? |
58509 | Is it you, Hubert? |
58509 | Is that you M----? |
58509 | Is there nothing more to be done then? |
58509 | Just at this moment,said the latter,"a German officer shouted:''What must we do with the prisoners?''" |
58509 | Let''s go then, shall we? |
58509 | Lieutenant, can we go out on patrol round the N---- Farm and have a look to see whether there''s any Boches inside? |
58509 | Lieutenant, could I have my arm seen to? |
58509 | Lieutenant,he began,"if we could just have a look in at the little farm over yonder?" |
58509 | News of the assault? |
58509 | On patrol... in a boat you mean? |
58509 | Shall we give up the General? |
58509 | The farm? 58509 We are through with it, are we not, Doctor?" |
58509 | Well, d''Ursel,I said,"how do you feel?" |
58509 | Well,I said,"are you not proud to take part in the firing? |
58509 | What about the 53rd? |
58509 | What am I going to do,he asked,"for I can not sit down again?" |
58509 | What are you telling me? |
58509 | What are your orders, Lieutenant? |
58509 | What do you propose doing? |
58509 | What for? |
58509 | What is the matter? |
58509 | What is the meaning of this joke, Colonel? |
58509 | What is the meaning of this? 58509 What''s the matter?" |
58509 | What''s the news? |
58509 | Where are the others? |
58509 | Where are you going? |
58509 | Where can I find some civilian''s clothes? |
58509 | Where is it to be found? |
58509 | Where is it? |
58509 | Who goes there? |
58509 | Who is hit? |
58509 | Who is to do it? |
58509 | Who sent you? |
58509 | You mean a sacrifice? |
58509 | ''Why should my life be cut in two by this mutilation?'' |
58509 | ''Why should my youth come to an end half way? |
58509 | ..."What happened? |
58509 | And of what use is all that blood poured out obscurely in the trenches?'' |
58509 | And what is left now of all this? |
58509 | Are you all of the same mind still?" |
58509 | Are you satisfied with me?" |
58509 | As soon as it was daylight, my first idea was to try to get a map, but how was I to find it in a town that was asleep? |
58509 | Before he had even opened his eyes, he answered:"Ah, it is you, Major?" |
58509 | Can I count on a reinforcement?" |
58509 | Can the glory that surrounds you with its halo not cover the remains of your poor profaned bodies? |
58509 | Could our army possibly resist these endless assaults? |
58509 | Cross that frontier? |
58509 | Do you remember this, General? |
58509 | Every minute we could hear someone asking:"Where is the Major?" |
58509 | From time to time, I called out to the men who were firing haphazard:"What are you aiming at? |
58509 | Had he been hit at the last hole?'' |
58509 | Had he been hit, we wondered? |
58509 | Had he come up from underground or had he fallen from the skies? |
58509 | Had the Germans really followed that itinerary and had they managed to come unseen across the waste land of the Vignes and so enter the town? |
58509 | Had they made off? |
58509 | He wondered why the telephonists did not arrive, and whether the poor wretches had been shot down? |
58509 | How am I to describe Frentzen? |
58509 | How many men were under the ruins? |
58509 | How should we ever escape? |
58509 | How were we to rejoin the Belgian army, when we did not know where it was? |
58509 | I said to the young cyclist:"How much did you give for your map?" |
58509 | I wondered what this meant? |
58509 | Is there no one to help him?" |
58509 | Just then a voice called out:"What fool has opened the door, letting in the cold?" |
58509 | May I have the honour of taking views of your motor- car in fighting position?" |
58509 | Ought I to return to our fortified position of Liége or stay and defend the passages of the river? |
58509 | Our retreat was obligatory, but the question was, Could the destruction of the Battalion be avoided? |
58509 | That one? |
58509 | The idea was good, but the question was how to communicate with the Fort? |
58509 | The march was long, the horses exhausted, the temperature very high, and the Uhlans sometimes very near indeed, but what did all that matter? |
58509 | The question is who will go and take the information?" |
58509 | The question now was would he reach the top of the ladder or not? |
58509 | The question was would they have strength enough to start again and to continue their march as far as Couthuin, where the 28th had gone? |
58509 | The question was, Where did this firing come from? |
58509 | They were certainly Boches, but what were they doing there, as their own shells were falling near them? |
58509 | They would stand by him to the very death and his greatest pride was to be able to reply to the General''s question:"Are you sure of your men?" |
58509 | To cross that frontier meant the end for the time being of our resistance.... What would be done with us there? |
58509 | To- day I was here and, as I watched him coming in, I was just beginning to cry out:''Sergeant, what are you doing?'' |
58509 | Was he killed, or had he only disappeared? |
58509 | Was it a man that had been flung into the air? |
58509 | Was it fatigue or torpor? |
58509 | Was it possible? |
58509 | Was my mission ended, as the bridges no longer existed? |
58509 | Was their nightmare over? |
58509 | Was this the one? |
58509 | Was this to be the end of everything? |
58509 | We began to wonder where the French army was, or whether a French army existed? |
58509 | We began to wonder whether our line had been broken? |
58509 | We wondered what would happen? |
58509 | We wondered whether this could be a trap for us? |
58509 | Were these men Alvensleben and his friends? |
58509 | Were they really not dreaming now? |
58509 | What did I now see, though? |
58509 | What drama was hidden under the contact of these two bodies? |
58509 | What had become of the gunners? |
58509 | What had become of the troops which had charge of the defence of the bridge? |
58509 | What had happened to our brave Colonel Jacques, to Captain Philippron, and to their comrades? |
58509 | What had these troops come to do here? |
58509 | What happened to him? |
58509 | What is the matter?" |
58509 | What is the reason of all this suffering? |
58509 | What pen can ever faithfully depict the havoc that seventeen months of war have made of the exquisite Flemish city we had all known and loved? |
58509 | What was I to do? |
58509 | What was going to happen next? |
58509 | What was going to happen? |
58509 | What was happening? |
58509 | What was the meaning of the disorder? |
58509 | What was the meaning of this wonderful silence? |
58509 | What was to be done? |
58509 | What was underneath all that? |
58509 | What were we to believe? |
58509 | What would be the outcome, we wondered? |
58509 | When we were trying to avoid a stream about three yards wide, a German asked:"Is that the Yser?" |
58509 | When would the hour of deliverance ring out for them and for all of us? |
58509 | Where are they? |
58509 | Where were we to go though? |
58509 | Which of the two had lived to see the other die? |
58509 | Who goes there?" |
58509 | Who volunteers?" |
58509 | Why are you here sick and wounded, with your arm or your leg amputated, scarred for ever in the beauty and prime of your early manhood? |
58509 | Why is all this? |
58509 | Why should I be doomed to drag out a miserable existence? |
58509 | Why? |
58509 | Would they--? |
58509 | he called out, and then, in a lower tone, he added,"They have crossed the frontier, we are alone.... Have you any men?" |
58509 | is everything ready?" |
58509 | we suddenly exclaimed"and what about the man we picked up and put at the back of the motor- car?" |
30285 | Any news? |
30285 | Any news? |
30285 | Any news? |
30285 | Are you from London? |
30285 | Are you going over? |
30285 | Are you going to give me a good show? 30285 Are you going to take any more scenes?" |
30285 | Are you ready? |
30285 | Are you the Kinema man? |
30285 | Are you the''movie''man? 30285 Are you the''movie- man''?" |
30285 | Are you the----? |
30285 | Brother Bosche will shortly have a rise in life? |
30285 | Busy day for you? |
30285 | But you''re not coming after us with that affair, are you? |
30285 | By the way,I said to the pilot, as we went off to tea,"how long were we up there altogether?" |
30285 | Ca n''t Bosche let you alone here? |
30285 | Can you get away in the morning, Malins? 30285 Can you see them on your right? |
30285 | Can you tell me, sir, if there is a machine- gun position hereabouts? 30285 Captain----, I presume?" |
30285 | D---- and---- who are you? 30285 Did you get me in that last scene?" |
30285 | Do n''t cheer me up, will you? |
30285 | Do n''t you think it''s a good idea? |
30285 | Do you get many cases like that? |
30285 | Do you know it? |
30285 | Do you know that I was the chap who filmed that scene? 30285 Do you know the exact time?" |
30285 | Do you know what time the King is due? |
30285 | Do you think it will be too early for me-- so far as the light is concerned? |
30285 | Do you think the bridge will take the weight of my car? |
30285 | Do you want to get it? |
30285 | Doing_ what_? |
30285 | Gad, sir,he said,"are you the kinema man? |
30285 | General---- told me you were coming; what do you want? |
30285 | General----, sir? |
30285 | Go easy, wo n''t you? |
30285 | Go? |
30285 | Has Fritz been sending you these souvenirs very often? |
30285 | Have they been shelling the avenues much? |
30285 | Have you a life- belt? |
30285 | Have you been successful? |
30285 | Have you been to Bovincourt? |
30285 | Have you cleaned this place out? |
30285 | Have you come to film our show? |
30285 | Have you got a trench map? 30285 Have you got any corpses here?" |
30285 | Have you seen''Jacob''s Ladder''? |
30285 | How about getting round to have a look at it? |
30285 | How are things going? |
30285 | How are things going? |
30285 | How close is this to the town? |
30285 | How do you like it? |
30285 | How far is that from the Bosche front line? |
30285 | How have you got on? |
30285 | How many miles is she doing? |
30285 | How much more? |
30285 | How''s the head, old chap? |
30285 | How''s your section, sergeant? 30285 Hullo, Malins,"he said,"still about? |
30285 | Hullo, what''s up? 30285 Hullo,"I said to one passing through on a stretcher,"got a''blighty''?" |
30285 | I say, Malins,he said,"did you find your handle?" |
30285 | I say,he called out,"come into my dug- out to- night, will you? |
30285 | I want to get on further, is there any other village near by? |
30285 | I will guide you with my lamp-- by the way, where are you going? |
30285 | If the weather improves ever such a little it will pay us for waiting, and of course it will suit you much better? |
30285 | Is Fritz strafing there much? |
30285 | Is everything ready? |
30285 | Is it possible to film actual events with the French troops in the Vosges and Alsace? |
30285 | Is it possible to go any lower? |
30285 | Is it the King? |
30285 | Is it urgent? |
30285 | Is n''t there a place in our front trench? |
30285 | Is that gun ready? |
30285 | Is that official? |
30285 | Let me know how you get on, wo n''t you? 30285 My dear chap,"he said,"are you serious?" |
30285 | Oh, by the way, sir, what time does the mine go up? |
30285 | Ready? |
30285 | Serious? |
30285 | Shall we go higher? 30285 Take me on, too, will you?" |
30285 | That''s been done by our guns in five days; some mess, eh? |
30285 | The password, if you please? |
30285 | This is an extraordinary state of affairs, is n''t it? 30285 Too high, eh?" |
30285 | Vraignes, of course, is quite clear? |
30285 | Was there some hitch in the arrangement? |
30285 | Well, what''s the news? 30285 Well, what''s the next move?" |
30285 | Well, which way do I take? |
30285 | Well,I said, with a grin,"do you think this car of mine would look like an armoured car at a distance?" |
30285 | Well,said he,"what about the height? |
30285 | Well? |
30285 | Were they unable to come for me? |
30285 | What an extraordinary place; how deep is it? |
30285 | What are we now? |
30285 | What are we waiting for? |
30285 | What do you say? 30285 What do you think of that?" |
30285 | What do you think? |
30285 | What do you want, monsieur? |
30285 | What if I do n''t come back? |
30285 | What in the world am I lying here for? |
30285 | What in the world''s up? |
30285 | What is it? |
30285 | What is the distance from Bosche lines? |
30285 | What news? 30285 What time does the barrage start?" |
30285 | What time is zero hour? |
30285 | What time is zero- hour? |
30285 | What would the morrow bring forth? |
30285 | What''s funny? |
30285 | What''s the height now? |
30285 | What''s the height? |
30285 | What''s the matter? |
30285 | What''s the matter? |
30285 | What''s the programme now? |
30285 | What''s up? 30285 What''s up?" |
30285 | What''s wrong? |
30285 | What''s wrong? |
30285 | What? |
30285 | When are you going to''blow''----? |
30285 | Where do we go? |
30285 | Where do you propose to take it? |
30285 | Where for to- day? |
30285 | Where have you heard that term used? |
30285 | Where is Bosche? |
30285 | Where is L----? |
30285 | Where is the attack taking place, and at what time? |
30285 | Where the deuce am I? |
30285 | Where the deuce is your outfit? |
30285 | Where the devil have you been? |
30285 | Where the devil is that fellow? |
30285 | Where''s Bosche? |
30285 | Where''s he hit? |
30285 | Where''s----? |
30285 | Who are you taking? |
30285 | Who''s coming? |
30285 | Whose mine are they blowing? |
30285 | Why? |
30285 | Will this do for him? |
30285 | Will you let me have a man to help me with my tripod? |
30285 | Will you take us, sir? 30285 Would your Majesty stand over there?" |
30285 | Yes,I said,"I suppose you''ll spiral down?" |
30285 | Yes,he said;"come in, will you? |
30285 | You are the''movie''man, eh? 30285 You quite understand, do n''t you? |
30285 | You''ve pulled through? |
30285 | ''Ave yer passed a dead''orse? |
30285 | --And Try to Discover What It Is-- A Wonderful Night Scene-- Dawn Breaks and Reveals a Marvellous Monster-- What Is It? |
30285 | --And Try to Discover What It Is-- A Wonderful Night Scene-- Dawn Breaks and Reveals a Marvellous Monster-- What Is It? |
30285 | A great many asked me as they came through:"Was I in the picture, sir?" |
30285 | Actinic conditions improved considerably, and I was just congratulating myself on my good fortune when----"What''s that, sir?" |
30285 | All fit?" |
30285 | Always on the go, eh? |
30285 | An officer came forward and said in astonished tones:"Where the devil have you fellows come from?" |
30285 | And what do you think I found there, sir?" |
30285 | And yet why should they? |
30285 | Any news?" |
30285 | Anything doing here?" |
30285 | Anything doing?" |
30285 | Anything wrong?" |
30285 | Anyway, whether they are called the''Hush Hushers''or''Tanks,''what the dickens are they? |
30285 | Anyway, you can make your own arrangements, I suppose, about views?" |
30285 | Anyway, you''re all right for''Blighty,''"and to cheer him up I continued in a bantering strain:"You knew how to manage it, eh? |
30285 | Apparently he was held up a minute or two later by some one else, for in the distance I heard a voice,"Do you know where---- Company is, sir?" |
30285 | Are there any dug- outs at the battery?" |
30285 | Are you fitted up?" |
30285 | Are you game?" |
30285 | Before leaving, the Major wished me success, and asked me whether I was prepared to wait until a"blow"came off? |
30285 | Bloody? |
30285 | But are you_ militaire_?" |
30285 | But why recount the horrors of the scene? |
30285 | But, seriously, are you really going to film''The Day''?" |
30285 | By the way, are you leaving your car there?" |
30285 | Can you hitch two or three of your horses on and help me out on to the road?" |
30285 | Can you let me have a guide, to show me the quickest and best way?" |
30285 | Can you realise what my thoughts were at that precise moment? |
30285 | Can you see it there?" |
30285 | Cawn''t yer see, mate, I''m taking up company rations? |
30285 | Did I care to accompany him? |
30285 | Did I know that I had drawn the enemy''s fire, which was very nearly an unpardonable offence? |
30285 | Did you realise till you saw it what this vast battle- front was like? |
30285 | Do come, wo n''t you? |
30285 | Do you know where---- Company is? |
30285 | Do you notice whether he is coming nearer?" |
30285 | Does that suggest possibilities to you?" |
30285 | Feel all right?" |
30285 | From the corner some one shouted:"Tell brother Fritz if he gets out of''the limits,''wo n''t you?" |
30285 | General Burstall was there, and as soon as he saw me he came up and said:"Hullo, Malins, you here? |
30285 | Got a drink on you?" |
30285 | Had the Bosche seen it? |
30285 | Has it justified itself? |
30285 | Have a cup of tea at my canteen, will you?" |
30285 | Have you a light, Monsieur Andrew?" |
30285 | Have you one to spare?" |
30285 | Have you really come to photograph''The Day''?" |
30285 | How about food? |
30285 | How did he know I was coming here? |
30285 | How much?" |
30285 | How the devil did you manage it? |
30285 | How would you like to go?" |
30285 | How''s Brother Bosche?" |
30285 | How''s the time going?" |
30285 | Hush!''?" |
30285 | I asked myself;"why should n''t I run the remaining distance?" |
30285 | I stopped the car and asked an old man who, by his ribbons, had been through the 1870 war:"Where is the Mayor?" |
30285 | I was told by the interpreter afterwards that he was glad I did not do so, as they would have been very wrath? |
30285 | I went up to her and explained in my best French that I had brought bread and sausages for the people, would she share them out? |
30285 | Is this war? |
30285 | Lend me your torch, will you?" |
30285 | Man? |
30285 | Now?" |
30285 | Same terms, eh? |
30285 | Shall I follow the trenches directly overhead or a little to one side?" |
30285 | Shall I get there about eleven o''clock and fix up?" |
30285 | Shall we take some to the villages?" |
30285 | Suddenly a voice echoed from the depths:"Will you come down, sir?" |
30285 | That is Villers- Carbonel, is it not?" |
30285 | That those who came back wounded and broken still had that smile? |
30285 | Then suddenly,"What are_ you_ doing here?" |
30285 | This remark,"Had I heard something?" |
30285 | Those going in to take their places: were they gloomy? |
30285 | Turning to the Captain, I said:"Will you give me an orderly? |
30285 | Was he British or Hun? |
30285 | We are going to give the village an intense bombardment this afternoon, at 4 o''clock; perhaps you would like to obtain that?" |
30285 | We cursed and swore about it; who would n''t? |
30285 | Were they coming into the village? |
30285 | What about blankets and grub?" |
30285 | What can I do, monsieur? |
30285 | What do you want now?" |
30285 | What effect did it have upon you? |
30285 | What guns are you using?" |
30285 | What had happened to them? |
30285 | What has happened?" |
30285 | What in the world was it? |
30285 | What is a tolerably safe height over''Bosche''?" |
30285 | What is it?" |
30285 | What time does it come off?" |
30285 | What was Bosche up to? |
30285 | What was he? |
30285 | What was it? |
30285 | What will be the result? |
30285 | What''s our speed?" |
30285 | What''s wrong?" |
30285 | When on earth did you arrive in the village?" |
30285 | When? |
30285 | Where are you going?" |
30285 | Where did these Bosches come from?" |
30285 | Where were they? |
30285 | Where''s the other man? |
30285 | Who could imagine anything more wonderful, more fantastic? |
30285 | Who on earth could live in it? |
30285 | Who told him?" |
30285 | Who, if they could see him now, could ever have any doubts as to the issue of the war? |
30285 | Why could n''t Bosche put that shell a little nearer? |
30285 | Why does n''t he play cricket? |
30285 | Why does n''t it go up? |
30285 | Why?" |
30285 | Why?" |
30285 | Will monsieur sit down?" |
30285 | Will our advance patrols constitute the official photographers for the future? |
30285 | Will this height suit you? |
30285 | Will you be on the quay at Boulogne to- morrow morning by twelve o''clock? |
30285 | Will you come?" |
30285 | Will you help me?" |
30285 | Will you let us introduce the doctor? |
30285 | Will you share a snack with us?" |
30285 | Would I like to film the scene? |
30285 | Would it go up before I had time to reload? |
30285 | Would nothing ever happen? |
30285 | Would our men rush the crater and occupy it? |
30285 | Would they reach him? |
30285 | Would you care to come? |
30285 | You are prepared to stay up there, of course?" |
30285 | You are''Movies,''are n''t you? |
30285 | You can imagine what it would be like over there, ca n''t you?" |
30285 | You know the trenches round here: where can I see the village to the best advantage?" |
30285 | [ Illustration: THE STATE OF THE TRENCHES IN WHICH WE LIVED AND SLEPT(?) |
30285 | came the reply,"who is it?" |
30285 | he said,"if so would you mind putting it on? |
30285 | you got clear then?" |
50001 | A girl? 50001 Ah, no; how could I be? |
50001 | And is this all? |

50001 | ''Would I? |
50001 | A lunatic asylum? |
50001 | And you, Miss Lassie-- why should you throw yourself away on the infantry? |
50001 | Are n''t you glad?" |
50001 | Are n''t you the lady? |
50001 | Ca n''t we help? |
50001 | Can I do anything for you?--anything? |
50001 | Could there be light on the pathway that led him from me? |
50001 | Den she say,''Ai n''t you hongry?'' |
50001 | Den she say,''Uncle Tom, do n''t you want a dram?'' |
50001 | Den she say,''Uncle Tom, do n''t you want sump''n to eat?'' |
50001 | Den she say,''Uncle Tom, wo n''t you hab a toddy?'' |
50001 | Den when I comes''long back she say,''Uncle Tom, did you he''p yo''se''f plent''ful?'' |
50001 | Did you ever see her wipe her nose?" |
50001 | Did you- all have no pillows nor no laps to fotch de po''li''l lamb home''pon widout puttin''her in a settin''-aig- basket? |
50001 | Do you remember how Cæsar commences?" |
50001 | Do you remember how Thomas laughed at me the next day when I told him about it? |
50001 | Do you think that Aunt Mary Christ would have spoken to her little boy Jesus like that?" |
50001 | Father Jansen, who had come from Richmond to see him, asked,"Do you want to see me alone?" |
50001 | Going into Price''s dry- goods store in Richmond she asked in her most dramatic voice:"Have_ ye_ any prints?" |
50001 | He often asked me,"Do n''t you think flowers can feel?" |
50001 | Holes in your pocket and your marbles and knife all dropped out?'' |
50001 | How are you, Sister Pickett?" |
50001 | How could anyone so immaculate and so beautiful to look upon have really fought and killed people? |
50001 | How could we live on the rim of a volcano if we could not dance around its crater? |
50001 | How funny I was when I was young, was n''t I? |
50001 | How much do you get for them, and where do you sell them?" |
50001 | How you- all know dat some misforchunement ai n''t gwine to come''count er projickin''wid her lak dat? |
50001 | I cotch Miss firs'', didn''I, Marse?" |
50001 | I remember you did come on board just as the whistle blew; but was there not another passenger who came on with you-- a gentleman?" |
50001 | I stopped for a minute and looking up at her said,"And little Sara, too, please, marm?" |
50001 | If you please, sir, will you get me my stateroom and ticket? |
50001 | Is dat we- alls li''l missis?" |
50001 | Is it tobacco- cloth?" |
50001 | It was so unusual that after Mrs. Davis had greeted me she looked in astonishment at my costume and said:"Child, where did you get these clothes?" |
50001 | Jackson?" |
50001 | Judge Joynes, of Petersburg, asked,"How old is Mrs. Moncure, Judge?" |
50001 | Little George asked:"How about a cat''s?" |
50001 | Looking at them for a few seconds he said:"Boys, what does all this mean? |
50001 | Mammy looked and seeing only my leafy and blossoming cover, ejaculated scornfully:"Aigs? |
50001 | May I kiss her, Pickett? |
50001 | May I see the professor?" |
50001 | Mr. Haxall replied:"Jack, old man, what for? |
50001 | My little Corbell asked her:"What is the use of acting? |
50001 | My, would n''t I make it fly?" |
50001 | Niggers, you- all hyer dat? |
50001 | Now, please, Doctor, excuse me, but wo n''t you all go and leave me alone with my wife? |
50001 | Of course Mr. Davis far outranked my Soldier in that war, but when Corbell asked,"Were you in papa''s Company, Mr. Davis, or was he in yours?" |
50001 | Oh, God, would I?'' |
50001 | One soldier rushed to Colonel Phillips shouting,"Say, Colonel, say; ca n''t we do something? |
50001 | S----?" |
50001 | The professor, taking no notice of my confusion, went on to say:"And so you were graduated there? |
50001 | Then I whispered to my grandmother as she carried me away,"Do angels want little children for keepsakes?" |
50001 | Then he asked:"May I order something for you here?" |
50001 | There is a reason; what is it?" |
50001 | This baby, sir? |
50001 | Turning to the General, smiling, Mr. Davis asked:"Where did you get the little lady in the clothes?" |
50001 | Was I in the land of fairies, and was the gentleman with the familiar face the prince of fairies, as he was the prince of lovers? |
50001 | Was that pale, pinched face shrouded in crêpe mine? |
50001 | We were received with fraternal hospitality, our host shaking hands with us solemnly, saying,"How do you do, Brother Pickett? |
50001 | What are you doing here, and where are you going?" |
50001 | What do you mean? |
50001 | What do you suppose she will come to when she grows up? |
50001 | What is all this trouble about? |
50001 | What is it for?" |
50001 | What makes you ask?" |
50001 | What of it? |
50001 | What you thinkin''''bout? |
50001 | When he came in I drew up a chair for him, but he said:"May I not sit on the bed beside our sick boy?" |
50001 | Where is he?" |
50001 | Where is the General? |
50001 | Whether the child needed"the rod withal?" |
50001 | Who in such a position could? |
50001 | Who knows but perhaps somewhere there are belonging to him little ones like ours?" |
50001 | Why do n''t you be it-- just be it?" |
50001 | Will you please be so good as to get my ticket? |
50001 | With a bit of a jealous feeling for my own Soldier I asked:"Did you want to do that to General Pickett?" |
50001 | Wo n''t you let me hold him while you go down and eat something?" |
50001 | You are; do n''t you remember me?" |
50001 | You knows, dey''lowed dat gal to play on de spinet of a Sunday mornin''s?--En dance chunes, at dat? |
50001 | You stop in Baltimore long?" |
50001 | You understand, my son?" |
50001 | You would never leave me now when I need you so?" |
50001 | an''sure an''phwat''s to become of me widout the baby an''leastwise, phwat''s as bad an''worse, phwat''s to become of the baby widout me?" |
50001 | no b- e- a- n- s?" |
60629 | A tall dark man, who sometimes rides a white mule? |
60629 | Allen, do you see anything? |
60629 | And has no officer or friend been with them? |
60629 | And he told you himself? |
60629 | And will we be furnished with food? |
60629 | And your mother? |
60629 | Any officers? |
60629 | Are you alone here? |
60629 | Are you badly hurt, Major? |
60629 | Are you from the Obion? |
60629 | Bischoff,I called, in a suppressed tone,"where are you?" |
60629 | Can anything be done? |
60629 | Captain,says the doctor from the ambulance,"must you go back?" |
60629 | Could n''t you let me go now, sir? 60629 Did Edward Ashby see them himself?" |
60629 | Did they anticipate such a death and such a burial when they came from distant pleasant homes to serve in the great army? |
60629 | Did they die during the night? |
60629 | Did you hear that barking? |
60629 | Did you know him? |
60629 | Did you see anything of my men? |
60629 | Do n''t you know you are violating military law, and are liable to be arrested? |
60629 | Had you a pass through our lines? |
60629 | Hamelder,I cried,"what have you done with my horse?" |
60629 | Has everything been quiet in this house? |
60629 | Have you reported to any of our officers, or taken the oath? |
60629 | Have you seen or heard anything? |
60629 | Have you the government permits to buy goods? |
60629 | Have your neighbors guns and powder? |
60629 | How could you doubt it? |
60629 | How did this information reach them? |
60629 | How far is it back to Farmington? |
60629 | How far is it from Caledonia to Paris? |
60629 | How is Leonard? |
60629 | How many men for guard and picket, captain? |
60629 | How many of my men have come in? |
60629 | How sick? |
60629 | I presume,I continued,"you have not seen Captain Nott''s little book, describing his visit here, and his adventures in these parts?" |
60629 | Is Captain Mitchell in this house? |
60629 | Is Mrs. Reynolds at home? |
60629 | Is anything the matter? |
60629 | Is that a fire, captain? |
60629 | Is the adjutant in? |
60629 | Is there any reason for their coming down this road? |
60629 | Sam,says one of the men,"do you remember the fight on the Obion last spring?" |
60629 | Sergeant, what do you think of it? |
60629 | Shall I halt them? |
60629 | Shall I order the men to fall in? |
60629 | Shall I throw my pistol after it? 60629 Thank you, doctor; is there anything left in yours?" |
60629 | The Southern army? |
60629 | Then you are really Union soldiers? 60629 Was it Memphis?" |
60629 | Well, captain, any more order? |
60629 | Well, uncle,said the little girl,"are you running away again from the rebel soldiers?" |
60629 | What are you galloping for? |
60629 | What can it be? 60629 What does that mean?" |
60629 | What does that mean? |
60629 | What indeed shall we do? |
60629 | What is it? |
60629 | What is that, sergeant? |
60629 | What is the matter with that poor man? |
60629 | What kind? |
60629 | What name, sir? |
60629 | What,I ventured to ask,"is your husband''s name?" |
60629 | When did he leave it? |
60629 | When we get there, will you let us go? |
60629 | When will they be buried? |
60629 | When will your squadron be ready? |
60629 | Where are you from? |
60629 | Where is your father, my boy? |
60629 | Where were these goods bought? |
60629 | Where will you put our horses, Bischoff? |
60629 | Where? |
60629 | Which way were they going? |
60629 | Who has got any matches? |
60629 | Whose children are these? 60629 Why did you not go?" |
60629 | Why, boys,he said,"what on earth are you doing here this time o''night?" |
60629 | Will there be another? |
60629 | Will your mistress be back to- night? |
60629 | Will your officers let me write to tell them I am alive? |
60629 | Yes,I answered;"and what are you?" |
60629 | _ Will you see the body?_said the superintendent. |
60629 | Against such goodness and patriotism, who could raise objections? |
60629 | And, now, what do you tell me? |
60629 | As I approach, he wheels sharply round and challenges,"Who comes there?" |
60629 | As I was thus seated the question arose, What should I do? |
60629 | As the black boy loiters round, I say to him,"Well, Dick, have you seen any soldiers before this?" |
60629 | Ashby''s?" |
60629 | But one of the first questions put to me was,"When will the major and the rest of the party be here?" |
60629 | Clokes?" |
60629 | Did he continue delirious? |
60629 | Do I see a light? |
60629 | Do you know, sir, whether trade will be opened soon with the North: our hand- cards are nearly worn out, and I do not know where to look for others? |
60629 | Doctor, I say, did you hear that?" |
60629 | Four-- five-- six miles, and they ask:"Do you mean to take us to Como?" |
60629 | Gentlemen, ca n''t you do anything for my son?" |
60629 | He tells me it is about eight miles, and says:"So you are going to Boydsville, are you?" |
60629 | I asked;"who could have brought it?" |
60629 | I therefore hasten to announce myself by saying,"How are you, Mrs. Hurt? |
60629 | I went up to the next patient and whispered my question,"Did you know the young man who died this morning?" |
60629 | Indeed-- why what did they do to her?" |
60629 | Instead of saying,"How early did you_ get up_ this morning?" |
60629 | Is our old friend false to us? |
60629 | It is very easy to say_ wait_, but how are we to_ wait_? |
60629 | It puzzled me at first; then I whispered to the sergeant,"Is this Sunday?" |
60629 | Mitchell?" |
60629 | Perhaps you will ask,"What is a picket?" |
60629 | Shall we keep on? |
60629 | She partly opened the book, then stopped, and looking deliberately at me, said,"Well, sir, what_ must_ I play?" |
60629 | Should I crawl to some barn or stack, and take the chance of their not searching it? |
60629 | Should I go to Paducah? |
60629 | Should I remain hidden in the woods, trusting to their leaving in a few days? |
60629 | So, marching up, he said,"Miss, will you be so kind as to give me a chew of your tobacco?" |
60629 | So, recollecting all this, I said to Dick:"Well, Dick, what did your missus say about the Union soldiers?" |
60629 | Suddenly Mr. Hurt sprang up and said,"What are those men?" |
60629 | Suddenly, close behind us, and in a very startled tone, came"Who comes there?" |
60629 | The cousin looked toward the woods; the little schoolmaster asked if he might not stay with his child just this one night? |
60629 | The question, What shall be done? |
60629 | Then came the painful questions: Who have come in? |
60629 | Was the man on horseback a picket, and will there be a troop clattering down on us in a few minutes? |
60629 | What do they send salt beef to the army for? |
60629 | What have we done that we must suffer so? |
60629 | What shall we do?" |
60629 | What_ shall_ I do? |
60629 | When she returned, I inquired:"Is your husband at home?" |
60629 | Where did they say they were going?" |
60629 | Where does K''s family live? |
60629 | Where would you prefer my putting the horses?" |
60629 | Who are missing? |
60629 | Who knows anything of that one? |
60629 | Who last saw this one? |
60629 | Who would have dreamt of the colonel playing us such a trick? |
60629 | Will he dare to come here?" |
60629 | Would my strength hold out if I went on? |
60629 | Yours?" |
60629 | and did he wish for some fond hand to support his head, some kind ear to receive his parting words? |
60629 | and who will write to tell them how he fell? |
60629 | and would the fractured bone, that I felt under my coat, and the growing pain in my side, do without the surgeon''s care till I could make my way out? |
60629 | are you the man with the oxen?" |
60629 | do those mules plough all day and gallop home in this way at night?" |
60629 | how so?" |
60629 | how we trusted them then; and how faithful we found them? |
60629 | or was he conscious through those last lonely hours? |
60629 | they asked;"how far off is the enemy now? |
60629 | they would say,"How early did you_ arise_?" |
60629 | where did she see them?" |
49099 | ''And the captain?'' 49099 And the youngest? |
49099 | And who are you? 49099 Are we downhearted? |
49099 | Been wounded? |
49099 | Can you see anything? |
49099 | Did you see that last rocket? |
49099 | Do n''t you know a man from your own company? |
49099 | Do n''t you see that Miss----''s chair and book are on the floor? |
49099 | Do n''t you wish you were in London now, Gal? |
49099 | Do you not feel well? |
49099 | Do you not know that I''ve broken your arm? |
49099 | Do you want anything? |
49099 | Do you want to go on bomb throwing detail this afternoon? |
49099 | Have you any money? |
49099 | Have you no money at all? |
49099 | Hey,he said,"you come from the United States, do n''t you?" |
49099 | How are things going down there? |
49099 | How far forward do you wish to go? |
49099 | How have you lived? 49099 How long were you at the front?" |
49099 | I do n''t suppose you come from a part of the world that''s any better off? |
49099 | I''ve got salt and pepper,I said,"but how are you going to cook it?" |
49099 | Is there any woman to embrace me? |
49099 | Is there anybody here? |
49099 | Is your pain worse, maybe? |
49099 | It''s the same with you, eh, comrade? |
49099 | May I beg leave to tell my men they will not be shot? |
49099 | No sign of the malady coming out in them? |
49099 | Perhaps according to present ideas in England I am old- fashioned? 49099 Sure,"he answered;"does a duck want to swim?" |
49099 | What do you think of the news from the Western front? |
49099 | What do you want? |
49099 | What hit me? |
49099 | What is a gentleman''s duty-- I mean pleasure-- when a lady drops anything? |
49099 | What is all the excitement? |
49099 | What is it, then? 49099 What is it?" |
49099 | What is it? |
49099 | What is it? |
49099 | What is the use? |
49099 | What line? |
49099 | What nationality? |
49099 | What the hell is the matter? |
49099 | What was the excitement? |
49099 | What''s an inspiration? |
49099 | What''s that for? |
49099 | What''s that, nurse? |
49099 | What''s that? |
49099 | What''s the excitement? |
49099 | What''s wrong now? |
49099 | What? 49099 Where did you get it?" |
49099 | Where do you come from? |
49099 | Where have you come from, and where are you going? |
49099 | Where is the ship? |
49099 | Who are you? |
49099 | Why could n''t they keep him when they had him? 49099 Why did n''t you tell me?" |
49099 | Why did you not stop and salute me? |
49099 | Why do n''t you come with me,he said,"instead of digging another place?" |
49099 | Why, of course we will, wo n''t we, lads? |
49099 | Will you take me to the Russians? |
49099 | Would you like to go to the front? |
49099 | Yes,I said;"what do you want to know that for?" |
49099 | Yet, if I''m the one who does not, will_ you_ take command of the fellows? |
49099 | You are English? |
49099 | You are a friend of the English? |
49099 | You do, do you? |
49099 | _ Qu''est- ce que vous aves fait pour mériter tout cela?_Three medals across that narrow chest! |
49099 | ''Where for?'' |
49099 | ( Are you crazy?) |
49099 | A phonograph grinds out the ancient query"Who Paid the Rent for Mrs. Rip Van Winkle?" |
49099 | An escaped Russian?" |
49099 | And Dadvisard said:''Why, is that all there is to do-- just to go out and attack them there? |
49099 | And Morillot? |
49099 | Back came the reply:"What''s the sense of risking a bearer''s life to transmit unnecessary messages? |
49099 | But I hope you are not English enough to be a suffragette, Miss----?" |
49099 | But how was I to get there? |
49099 | But there are so many that I can not prolong, and will not-- what is the use? |
49099 | But what about the seven subalterns? |
49099 | But what do we see over there? |
49099 | But what is the use of moralizing? |
49099 | But what position was I to select? |
49099 | Can that be merely a coincidence?" |
49099 | Captain B---- turned and asked,"What next?" |
49099 | Did he understand what worried me? |
49099 | Do n''t you know an aviator''s supposed to look_ chic_?" |
49099 | Do n''t you wish you had some of this?" |
49099 | Do not his words recall those of the brothers of St. Francis? |
49099 | Do you hear the others cry?" |
49099 | From time to time, whenever a fresh bit of shelter is reached, without looking back, I called out to Pierrat:"Keeping on?" |
49099 | Had I not lived it before? |
49099 | Had it been placed there, by arrangement, by the Slovack? |
49099 | Have a smoke?" |
49099 | Have they already broken with everything of earth, these Sisters, lifted themselves for good above the most pardonable frailty? |
49099 | Have you been long abroad? |
49099 | Have you ever kicked into an ant hill? |
49099 | He asked to see the soldier immediately:"''Tell me-- the commandant?'' |
49099 | He hesitated for a second, took another look at me, and then answered, resolutely,"Why not, sir?" |
49099 | He, too, is all right?" |
49099 | How can she come to see him? |
49099 | How had he reached our trench? |
49099 | How many of my fellows would live to cross that bullet- swept road? |
49099 | How many? |
49099 | How much are they offering?" |
49099 | I recalled the remark of a friend who, on hearing of my appointment, asked:"After all, what do you expect to do? |
49099 | I wonder when we shall really learn to know the true character of the German? |
49099 | I''d give you the stuff if I got it to cook, but I do n''t get it, do I, Corporal?" |
49099 | In how many days, with how many changes, will the public read these bits of news? |
49099 | Is it possible? |
49099 | Is n''t that strange? |
49099 | Is there such a place?... |
49099 | It gives one a horrible heartache and one is overwhelmed with depression.... Great God, how long is this war going to last?" |
49099 | My home? |
49099 | My wife? |
49099 | Not many nights ago one of the pilots remarked in a tired way:"Know what I want? |
49099 | One, I remember, asked,"Well, how do you like the German- West, old chappie?" |
49099 | Out of curiosity I ask:"Why are you so fond of him?" |
49099 | See? |
49099 | Sometimes the peasants would look him up and down and ask him,"_ Osztrak?_"("Austrian? |
49099 | Sometimes the peasants would look him up and down and ask him,"_ Osztrak?_"("Austrian? |
49099 | That was bad enough in itself, but what about food? |
49099 | The Belgian, surprised, exclaimed"Zijt gij zot?" |
49099 | The mother clasped her hands together, turning to me:"The operation was successful, was n''t it, madame?" |
49099 | The part for passengers was too exposed-- only fit for express despatch into the other world-- but what of the goods department? |
49099 | The silence lay between us for a little, till the dying man asked,"What o''clock is it?" |
49099 | Then turning to me, she said:"Before night- time would n''t you like to play a game of dominoes with this good boy? |
49099 | They met mine, and something in them made me shout in German,"Do you surrender?" |
49099 | This is chiefly rum, and it makes one feel,"Why wait any longer? |
49099 | Want it?" |
49099 | Was ever attack so strong or resistance more determined? |
49099 | Was he spy or madman?" |
49099 | Was he, then, surrendering the lot as well as himself? |
49099 | Was not one of the Kaiser''s sons familiarly known in Berlin as the"Duke of Brittany?" |
49099 | Was this not worth my whole trip? |
49099 | We must get them out, eh?'' |
49099 | We sent a shell in her direction, and I heard the captain ironically inquire:"What did you shoot at?" |
49099 | Well, where? |
49099 | What could the last few survivors hope to accomplish? |
49099 | What has he ever done to be crucified like this? |
49099 | What is your profession?" |
49099 | What more natural than that he should sympathize with the prisoner and agree to help him to regain his liberty? |
49099 | What were we doing at Aix- la- Chapelle? |
49099 | What would introduce novelty into the situation? |
49099 | What would the next moment bring us? |
49099 | What, however, was to be done with the four English officers, twenty sailors and marines, and the hundred and sixty passengers on board the_ Appam_? |
49099 | When she was sufficiently near, we hoisted the signal,"What is your name?" |
49099 | When was he going to see that there were only four men, one N.C.O., and my anxious self on the premises? |
49099 | When we reached his office he was overwhelmed with work, but he rose from his chair and said kindly,"Have I not seen your face before?" |
49099 | When will she come to see him? |
49099 | When will she come? |
49099 | When you think of the ones who stayed down there, ought you ever to groan? |
49099 | Whence am I to get the money to pay for this journey?" |
49099 | Where are the brutes? |
49099 | Where are we going to? |
49099 | Where did you get it?" |
49099 | Where did you get water?" |
49099 | Where have I already beheld a scene like this? |
49099 | Where is von X----?" |
49099 | Where were the beggars? |
49099 | Where would those poor people go and what could they do without food or shelter for all those little children? |
49099 | Who are you, and where are you going?" |
49099 | Who could describe the feelings that overcome a man in the first hail of bullets he is in? |
49099 | Who goes there?" |
49099 | Who is able to explain these men to those for whom they have been fighting for more than a year? |
49099 | Who knows, besides, how much their desire to live may have dwindled down after their tragic voyages to the frontier? |
49099 | Who was he? |
49099 | Whose was it? |
49099 | Why did I do it? |
49099 | Why did n''t they shoot, though? |
49099 | Why do n''t you dress yourself? |
49099 | Why is that?" |
49099 | Why is the regiment bivouacking here?" |
49099 | Why should we have been made to fight each other?" |
49099 | With whom was he still communicating? |
49099 | Wo n''t you tell me?" |
49099 | Would n''t there have been a hullabaloo if somebody had guessed what thoughts were passing through the poor brain inside that stern figure? |
49099 | Would these madmen never surrender? |
49099 | You or I. I? |
49099 | what is this coming down on us? |
49099 | you are blind, then? |
49391 | Age? |
49391 | Ah,_ bon!_ Why are you here then? |
49391 | And what about those others''là- bas?'' |
49391 | And why did you leave them? |
49391 | And you''re a German, I suppose? |
49391 | And your mother? |
49391 | And,inquired the interviewer,"was there no period during the incident that you felt that the proposition was too big for you?" |
49391 | But where are your parents-- your father? |
49391 | Can you see the gun mounted forward of the bridge? |
49391 | Did you hear how he circled around over us? |
49391 | Do they want killing or what? |
49391 | Do you hear it? 49391 Even the Boches?" |
49391 | Father,he said, in a weak voice,"Father, am I going to die?" |
49391 | France, Russia, or Engländer? |
49391 | Have I been ill? |
49391 | Have a smoke? |
49391 | Have you a doctor, Captain? 49391 Have you any children?" |
49391 | Have you any papers to prove your identity? |
49391 | Have you had your dinner? |
49391 | Have you seen what is happening with the Russian soldiers, taken prisoners? |
49391 | House to house? 49391 How about the Rue Jeanne d''Arc?" |
49391 | How can you swallow all that stuff? |
49391 | How many are you? |
49391 | How many more are there down the dug- out? |
49391 | How so? 49391 May I go to the engine- room, Herr Captain- Lieutenant?" |
49391 | Now take a look at her stern-- right by the second mast-- what do you notice there? |
49391 | Shall we meet again? |
49391 | Since you wish to enter an ambulance, it''s to work there? |
49391 | Well, well-- um-- how can you be sure? 49391 Well,"said I,"what''s it to be? |
49391 | What about it? |
49391 | What do you say if we let''em have a bit? |
49391 | What do you think of the case of Miss Edith Cavell? |
49391 | What has that to do with it? |
49391 | What in the world is straw fixed up that way for? |
49391 | What is the trouble? 49391 What religion are you, Max?" |
49391 | What''s your name? |
49391 | What''s your name? |
49391 | When shall we meet again? |
49391 | When we came aboard the raider,the officer from the late_ Voltaire_ continued,"one of the Germans said to me:"''Where were you? |
49391 | Where are all those prisoners? |
49391 | Where do you come from? |
49391 | Where does he come from? |
49391 | Where have you come from? |
49391 | Where? |
49391 | Who? |
49391 | Why did you leave Monaco for Belfort? |
49391 | Why not? |
49391 | Why''Todger''? |
49391 | Why, Colonel,said I to the other,"are n''t you going to have a nap with your friend?" |
49391 | Wo n''t that fill the bill? |
49391 | You are married? |
49391 | You know they''re no use? |
49391 | You should have seen him, eh? 49391 You''ve come here, then, to enlist?" |
49391 | _ Guten Tag._"_ Guten Tag, meine Schwester-- Hier habe ich quartier._"Are you not afraid of typhus? |
49391 | _ Non, mon capitaine._"Are you French? |
49391 | ''Why, mother?'' |
49391 | ***** From Morcourt in the department of the Somme on the seventh of November, 1914:"Shall we ever return? |
49391 | -> Would the village we were holding be spared? |
49391 | A captain of Alpini said to me:"France and Italy are one-- is it not so, sir?" |
49391 | A close shave, what? |
49391 | And did my children want war? |
49391 | And may I tell you how the ever- present contrast came in here? |
49391 | And over there? |
49391 | And what are you going to do? |
49391 | And who can say that his act was cowardly? |
49391 | And who''ll volunteer to put them on? |
49391 | And would they ever return? |
49391 | Are you so dull and faint- hearted that it does not echo within you? |
49391 | At last he said:"You are wounded?" |
49391 | At what hour? |
49391 | But is it the enemy? |
49391 | But that evening I was not"begged"(?) |
49391 | But what was that? |
49391 | But where should I take the cart, which had to keep to the road? |
49391 | Can I get out and have a packet at them?" |
49391 | Can it be wondered that the Duke of Brunswick, who witnessed the tragedy, has since been reported as hopelessly insane? |
49391 | Can you hear the 75''s singing?'' |
49391 | Can you hear the melodious song from below, you weakling nerves? |
49391 | Carrying Wanda upstairs, trying to still her; heartbroken myself, what could I tell the little creature? |
49391 | Come now, will you have some?" |
49391 | Could he hold out till then? |
49391 | Did I tell you that I was a bomber? |
49391 | Did you ever breathe air foul with the gases arising from a thousand rotting corpses? |
49391 | Dirt? |
49391 | Do I think about honor and success? |
49391 | Do you hear it?" |
49391 | Do you not know the stimulating power which the thin metal voice below can inspire within you? |
49391 | Do you remember the winter, five years ago, that I passed in Switzerland? |
49391 | Do you think though that it was necessary to be mobilised in order to do what we are doing? |
49391 | Do you want to be killed or taken prisoners? |
49391 | Do you wonder that I am still proud that I fought there-- proud of the French Canadians? |
49391 | Fit game for a Nero, was n''t it? |
49391 | Food? |
49391 | For Germany? |
49391 | For a second my heart stood still-- where was my boy? |
49391 | For my brickyard? |
49391 | Gas? |
49391 | Gloom? |
49391 | Hardly had I crossed the threshold than one of them exclaimed:"What do you want here, boy?" |
49391 | Have the heavy clouds which have obscured the night broken at last and will the sun appear? |
49391 | Have you ever been in a bombarded town? |
49391 | Have you ever seen a thousand men hurled to atoms by a giant blast? |
49391 | Have you ever stood by the gate to the trains and watched the men come up to go back to the front? |
49391 | He will ask, over and over again,"What time is it?" |
49391 | He--""Do you believe that I am a loyal Russian?" |
49391 | How can you assure me?" |
49391 | How many did I rake in?" |
49391 | How many did you rake in yesterday?" |
49391 | I leant over him, and said with the instinctive gentleness which compassion inspires one with:"You are suffering, my child?" |
49391 | I said, and he replied,"What do you mean?" |
49391 | I said:"Will you kindly get a flask out of my pocket? |
49391 | I wondered who the workers were, when what do you think I saw? |
49391 | Is n''t that the very soul of France?" |
49391 | Is the little girl ill also?" |
49391 | Is there really typhus?" |
49391 | It is gay the war,_ n''est- ce pas_, madame?" |
49391 | It was then that an officer caught sight of me and cried out:"What''s that boy doing there?" |
49391 | My dander was up, and I shouted to the officer,"What do you think of that, sir?" |
49391 | Need I describe my home- coming? |
49391 | Oh, what is then-- Lieutenant who?" |
49391 | Old Gott and I had our telephones on and he said:"What about it, Lieutenant?" |
49391 | One of the first things he said to me when the record was read was,''How the dickens did you do it, Jones?'' |
49391 | Or do you think that I intend to circle around those two rascals for hours?" |
49391 | Or shall we not go home? |
49391 | Or,"Only three o''clock?" |
49391 | P. 96: Would our village we were holding be spared? |
49391 | Presently he came back, and said,"Are you ready?" |
49391 | Rats? |
49391 | Should I make a clean breast of it and drag the mask from the rascal''s smiling face, or spring at his throat and shake the life out of him? |
49391 | Stench? |
49391 | Suddenly she asked:"Mammy-- why does God sleep?" |
49391 | Surely there was nothing worse to come? |
49391 | Tell me, why are we fighting?" |
49391 | Tell me, why are we fighting?" |
49391 | The professors did not believe he could live to finish the course, so why waste the time with him? |
49391 | To be kept there with those men when my baby needed me every minute, but what was there to do? |
49391 | Was it England after all instead of France? |
49391 | Was it sufficiently deep to accommodate us? |
49391 | Was it, too, a mass of dust and stones? |
49391 | Were they put to bed like ordinary babies? |
49391 | Were we to be shut out even as the gates of Paradise seemed to be opening to us? |
49391 | Were we to have had all our toil in vain? |
49391 | What about it?" |
49391 | What am I going to do with this little lot?" |
49391 | What am I searching for in the cold, dark night? |
49391 | What answer could I make? |
49391 | What chance had a prisoner to escape? |
49391 | What could have happened? |
49391 | What did I expect? |
49391 | What did you ever read of the rats in the trenches? |
49391 | What do you know of it, you people who never heard earth and heaven rock with the frantic turmoil of the ceaseless bombardment? |
49391 | What does it matter? |
49391 | What does one reply to such men? |
49391 | What for? |
49391 | What is this Russian doing here?" |
49391 | What new plan of campaign could I evolve? |
49391 | What soldiers ever fought more valiantly? |
49391 | What was to be done? |
49391 | What? |
49391 | What? |
49391 | What? |
49391 | What_ are_ you?" |
49391 | When the sergeant had gone he took me aside and said:"Have you eaten?" |
49391 | When will this war end? |
49391 | When will we go home again? |
49391 | When? |
49391 | Where do you come from?" |
49391 | Where was the mother whom he had left there in the house they called their own? |
49391 | Where were we going to? |
49391 | Who am I?" |
49391 | Who ever gave their lives in a noble cause more gladly? |
49391 | Who ever met certain death more steadfastly and unafraid? |
49391 | Who has experienced the horrors of Milton''s terrible vision or the slow tortures of Dante''s inferno? |
49391 | Who would n''t have been disappointed at seeing a scheme that had arrived so near fruition come toppling down like a house of cards? |
49391 | Why accuse me for no other reason than that I am a Russian?" |
49391 | Why did we stop there? |
49391 | Why does my eye stare so steadily into the dark? |
49391 | Why? |
49391 | Why? |
49391 | Will you surrender?" |
49391 | Would the village we were holding be spared? |
49391 | You have seen the ice wagon dripping on a warm day? |
49391 | You''re a Belgian, are n''t you?" |
49391 | and say,"Only eleven o''clock?" |
49391 | young man, you do n''t belong here?" |
34827 | ''And is he gone?'' 34827 ''Is he an Englishman-- does he look like an Englishman?'' |
34827 | ''Who is this Burden?'' 34827 Are there many Yankee ships passing the Rock now?" |
34827 | But what have Congressmen done in their individual capacity? 34827 But what''s the news from Rio?" |
34827 | But, Captain, ca n''t we arrange the matter in some way? 34827 Can you make out the nationality of the ships in tow?" |
34827 | Have any of them struck us? |
34827 | How is that? |
34827 | How so? |
34827 | I suppose you''ll charge something for bringing these gentlemen on board? |
34827 | It would not pay me, then, to cruise in these seas? |
34827 | Now, in view of the above statement of facts, what has Congress done? 34827 That may do very well for the murder,"I now rejoined,"but what about the desertion?" |
34827 | The d----l she is,said I;"how many shots has she fired at us?" |
34827 | What does she look like? |
34827 | What does this mean? |
34827 | What is that? |
34827 | What is the news? |
34827 | What ship is that? |
34827 | What ship is that? |
34827 | What ship is that? |
34827 | What,said I,"do they come on deck?" |
34827 | Whence cometh the wind, and whither goeth it? |
34827 | Why should I not, sir? |
34827 | You are rather hard upon us, my friend,now rejoined the boarding- officer;"why should you take such an interest in the Confederate cause?" |
34827 | You surprise me,rejoined the Captain;"how is that?" |
34827 | ''Have you ever seen him?'' |
34827 | Adjudication presupposes something to adjudicate; but if there was no contraband of war, on board the_ Trent_, what was there to adjudicate? |
34827 | And if not, why not? |
34827 | And if so, in what does the difference consist? |
34827 | And if so, what business had his pennant, any more than his ensign, to be flying? |
34827 | And in what does the supposed proceeding differ from the one in hand? |
34827 | And is there any difference between escaping to the shore, and to a neutral flag? |
34827 | And that steamship, what flag did she bear? |
34827 | And then, as I stated to you, in my first letter, is not the honor of the French flag involved? |
34827 | And then, where was the Congress, and the Massachusetts legislature, and Mr. Secretary Welles, and all the"plate,"and all the"resolutions"? |
34827 | And what did Mr. Secretary Welles do? |
34827 | And what is the consequence? |
34827 | And what think you, reader, was the excuse? |
34827 | And when the Constitution was formed, to whom was it submitted for ratification? |
34827 | And why this transference from American ships to British ships? |
34827 | And why would she not have complained? |
34827 | And yet, how could I very well run away, in the face of the promises I had given my crew? |
34827 | And, then, what about the necessity for_ protecting the machinery at all_? |
34827 | As a mere general, he would have abandoned the hopeless task long ago, extricating his army, and throwing it into the field, but_ cui bono_? |
34827 | Be frank; was, or was not, the transfer of your ship a_ bona fide_ transaction?" |
34827 | Besides, who shall judge them? |
34827 | But does not that officer forget that treason is made up of acts of war; and is it not apparent that you can not try me for an act of war? |
34827 | But has a captor the right to destroy before adjudication? |
34827 | But how does he affect the currents? |
34827 | But how is it now? |
34827 | But if the prizes can not be sent either into the ports of the Confederate States, or into neutral ports, how can this verification be made? |
34827 | But in what direction is the atmosphere now moving? |
34827 | But supposing the States to have been equally represented in those schools, what would have been the result? |
34827 | But the cloud-- how came it there, why does it remain so faithfully at its post, and what are its functions? |
34827 | But what becomes of this lighter globule of water, which has arisen to the surface, because it has been deprived of its solid matter? |
34827 | But what was I to do with it? |
34827 | But what was I to do with the prize? |
34827 | But, does it follow that I may be tried for treason? |
34827 | But,"what smoke is that we perceive, coming down the river?" |
34827 | By the way, has the reader ever remarked that land is scarcely ever antipodal with land? |
34827 | By what process was any portion of this allegiance transferred to the Federal Government, and to what extent was it transferred? |
34827 | Can this be the ultimate design of the Yankee? |
34827 | Come when it will-- we snatch the life of life; When lost-- what recks it-- by disease or strife? |
34827 | Could they have parted with it, without consenting to a merger of their sovereignty? |
34827 | Could this be the_ Alabama_? |
34827 | Did Dupont send her back to Ingraham? |
34827 | Did he not surrender his ship to me? |
34827 | Did it result from their forms of government, and must democrats necessarily be vulgarians? |
34827 | Did not each State, on the contrary, call its own convention? |
34827 | Did the North follow this example set her by the South? |
34827 | Did the captain mean to drown them? |
34827 | Did these States send three fourths of the students to those schools? |
34827 | Did they part, with the right of secession? |
34827 | Did this time correspond with the known rate of travel of the circles? |
34827 | Did we need other incitement on board the_ Alabama_, to apply a well- lighted torch to the enemy''s ships? |
34827 | Disturbed for what? |
34827 | Does any one wonder that the_ Alabama_ burned New England ships? |
34827 | Does he see rebellion and treason lurking in the conduct of these States? |
34827 | Does the fact of my prize being in British waters, in violation of the Queen''s proclamation, give it this right? |
34827 | Had Mr. Seward forgotten, when he wrote the above, the case of Dr. Franklin''s ship, the_ Surprise_? |
34827 | Had he forgotten the"Naval Bureau"which was conducted in France, by Dr. Franklin and Silas Deane, who were"stationed agents"of the Colonies? |
34827 | Had, then, the Southern States the peaceful right to dissolve the compact of government under which they had lived with the North? |
34827 | Has Congress agitated the subject at any time, in any manner, looking to a trial of the cases referred to? |
34827 | Has Congress passed any law directing how the rebels shall be tried? |
34827 | Has Congress passed any resolution requesting the President to order a military court for the trial of Davis& Co.? |
34827 | He guarded them as he would the apple of his eye, for had he not a prize which might make him Consul for life at Tangier? |
34827 | Here is the article:--"WHY DON''T CONGRESS ACT? |
34827 | His name? |
34827 | How are we to account for this? |
34827 | How could we respect it, in such a connection? |
34827 | How did it cease to exist? |
34827 | How did the Convention vote on this proposition? |
34827 | How is it possible to reconcile this short, explicit, and unambiguous provision with the theory I am combating? |
34827 | How we should be astonished? |
34827 | I asked if I was to be put in irons? |
34827 | I came within easy speaking range-- about seventy- five yards-- and upon asking,"What steamer is that?" |
34827 | I said to him,"Captain, your boats appear to me, to be rather deeply laden; are you not afraid to trust them?" |
34827 | If A strikes B, is it lawful to interfere to preserve the peace, and if B strikes A, is it unlawful to interfere for the same purpose? |
34827 | If a ship might be violated, why not territory? |
34827 | If the_ Sumter_ were only in Bahia, where the_ Florida_ afterward was, how easily and securely the kicking might be done? |
34827 | If these were straight winds, blowing contrary to the trades, why should they not blow steadily like the trades? |
34827 | If they can not send them into neutral ports, where are they to send them? |
34827 | If we are beaten in this war, what will be our fate in the Southern States? |
34827 | If we could not defend ourselves before Richmond, could we defend ourselves anywhere? |
34827 | In the meantime, the inquiry naturally presents itself, Where is the Yankee? |
34827 | In what proportion did the States contribute it? |
34827 | Is he too busy with his internal dissensions and politics? |
34827 | Is it a bargain?" |
34827 | Is it because the two particles, as they have gyrated around their respective poles, have received a repulsive polarity? |
34827 | Is it not a fact, on the contrary, that the vote of eleven States did_ not_ bind the other two? |
34827 | Is our Government a mere rope of sand, that may be destroyed at the will of the States?" |
34827 | Is the miserable faction which has ruled the country for the last seven years determined to destroy all its prosperity, foreign as well as domestic? |
34827 | Is this consistent with the supposed wisdom of the political Fathers, those practical, common sense men, who formed the Federal Constitution? |
34827 | May it not be the same law which rides on the whirlwind, and directs the storm? |
34827 | May not this arrangement have something to do with the currents, and the water- carriers, the winds? |
34827 | Might it not be, that, after all our trials and sacrifices, the cause for which we were struggling would be lost? |
34827 | My first lieutenant now approached me, and touching my elbow, said,"Captain, had we not better throw this howitzer overboard? |
34827 | No wonder that Mr. Lincoln when asked,"why not let the South go?" |
34827 | Now what is the result? |
34827 | Oh, who can tell? |
34827 | On what ground can you undertake to make this decision? |
34827 | Or was it that the whole North had been wearing a mask, and that the mask was now no longer available, or desirable, to hide their treachery? |
34827 | Our question, then, will be reduced to this, Was she commissioned by a sovereign power? |
34827 | Sentinel:--"Who comes there?" |
34827 | Shall that name be tarnished by defeat? |
34827 | Shall we, too, become mongrelized, and disappear from the face of the earth? |
34827 | Should, now, a French traveller, landing in Morocco,_ in itinere_, only, from a French ship, be subject to a different rule? |
34827 | Such an export would indicate unparalleled wealth, but what is the fact? |
34827 | The Government may not supply me with powder-- why? |
34827 | The act still remaining to be atoned for, what was there to be gained, by sending the vessel in? |
34827 | The next question which presents itself for our consideration is, Was the_ Alabama_ properly commissioned by a sovereign power? |
34827 | The prisoners-- what did we do with them? |
34827 | The question now is, who formed the Constitution, not what was formed by it? |
34827 | The question now was, in what direction should we steer? |
34827 | The ships would be hundreds of miles away from the land, and where could this dust come from? |
34827 | The true, and the only just and fair criterion, is, was the act for which the arrest was made an act of war? |
34827 | The"Where- away?" |
34827 | The_ Alabama_, said he, was burning everything, right and left, even_ British_ property; would the Lion stand it? |
34827 | This is a very questionable assertion; for why did Captain Winslow confide in that Englishman? |
34827 | Under such circumstances, what think you, reader, was the subject of Mr. Gibson''s discourse? |
34827 | WAS SECESSION TREASON? |
34827 | Was I, under these circumstances, to plunge into the water with my sword in my hand and endeavor to swim to the_ Kearsarge_? |
34827 | Was Secession Treason? |
34827 | Was it not more natural, that I should hurl it into the depths of the ocean in defiance, and in hatred of the Yankee and his accursed flag? |
34827 | Was the_ Kearsarge_ an exception? |
34827 | Was there any convention of the people of the United States in the aggregate, as one nation, called for the purpose of considering it? |
34827 | Was this one of the results which our ancestors designed, when they framed the federal compact? |
34827 | Was this the sort of experiment in government, that our forefathers supposed they were making? |
34827 | Was this the way he designed to punish them for mutiny, instead of hanging them at the yard- arm? |
34827 | We captured the_ Tonawanda_, and the question immediately presented itself what should we do with her? |
34827 | We repeat the question with which we commenced, and which is echoed by the people everywhere,''Why do n''t Congress act?''" |
34827 | What a descent have we here, from the Plantagenets to Mr. Milner Gibson? |
34827 | What can be the uses in the animal economy to which this immense quantity of oil in the head of the fish is applied? |
34827 | What could have become of Banks, and his great expedition, and what was this squadron of steam ships- of- war doing here? |
34827 | What could the fellow mean? |
34827 | What could the_ Sumter_ effect against such odds? |
34827 | What could this mean? |
34827 | What is a diplomat fit for, unless he can be a little cunning, upon occasion? |
34827 | What is the subtle influence which produces this wonderful result? |
34827 | What is to prevent it? |
34827 | What monstrous sophists we are, when interest prompts us? |
34827 | What more could a monarch do? |
34827 | What says the reader? |
34827 | What scenes does not the very sight of this refectory present to the imagination? |
34827 | What was best to be done in this changed condition of affairs? |
34827 | What was expected of me under these circumstances? |
34827 | What was to be done? |
34827 | What wonder that I felt a lover''s resentment? |
34827 | When they would talk to me about private property, I would ask to whom their ships belonged-- whether to a private person, or the Government? |
34827 | When_ will_ naughty England pay that little bill? |
34827 | Whence came the fund for the establishment of these schools? |
34827 | Whence can such a conclusion be drawn? |
34827 | Whence comes it? |
34827 | Whence this difference? |
34827 | Where was Mr. Welles''officer, that he did not come to demand it? |
34827 | Where was that great constituency, composed of the people of the United States in the aggregate, as one nation, all this time? |
34827 | Who could look into the horoscope of this ship-- who anticipate her career? |
34827 | Who could tell which these nine States would be? |
34827 | Who shall pronounce on which side the right or wrong lies? |
34827 | Who shall say that the civilized man is a greater philosopher, than the savage of the China seas? |
34827 | Why did he implore his interference, calling out,''For God''s sake, do what you can to save them?'' |
34827 | Why do n''t Congress act? |
34827 | Why might she not have been taken into some other neutral port, for this purpose? |
34827 | Why not? |
34827 | Why was this disruption of the old government regarded as a matter of course? |
34827 | Why, then, may not the Government supply me? |
34827 | With a Yankee Mandarin on board, and a good supply of opium, and tracts, what a smashing business this little cruiser might have done? |
34827 | Yes; here were my"forces,"but where, the d----l, was General Lee, and how was I to join him? |
34827 | _ They never returned_, and I submit to the decision of the Department, whether they are not our prisoners?" |
34827 | _ where then shall we get our revenue?_"This system of spoliation was commenced in 1816. |
34827 | and did not some of the States accept it, and some of them refuse to accept it? |
34827 | and if so, on what principle? |
34827 | and secondly, Was there sufficient ground for this dissolution? |
34827 | and, secondly, Was there sufficient reason for such dissolution? |
34827 | have we no government capable of preserving itself? |
34827 | or was it the_ Hydaspes_, from India, or the_ Lady Jocelyn_ from England? |
34827 | that thou shouldst be mindful of him?" |
34827 | what was done with the"old flag"? |
34827 | what was to be done? |
34827 | what was to become of her, and her vow? |
40792 | An excellent canvas, is it not? |
40792 | And how many men on an average are in the trenches? |
40792 | And meanwhile? |
40792 | And now,he said,"we go to Augustowo,"adding with a tantalizing smile,"Do you wish?" |
40792 | And the fields too? |
40792 | And when will that be possible, Professor? |
40792 | And when will the end be? |
40792 | And you? |
40792 | And, Your Majesty, after the war? |
40792 | Any wounded? |
40792 | Are n''t you coming with us, Captain? |
40792 | As the national feeling grows,I asked him,"will not the goal for peace become always more remote? |
40792 | Back to Lille? |
40792 | But how can they get through the German lines? |
40792 | But your accent? |
40792 | But, Captain,I urged,"is n''t there some place from which we could see an artillery position?" |
40792 | But, Professor,I asked,"does not traffic and industry breed war; what caused this war? |
40792 | But,I argued,"they ca n''t expect what they get at home, can they?" |
40792 | Can we not go back by some other road,Poole suggests,"a longer way, making a detour?" |
40792 | Christian, eh? |
40792 | Colonel,says Poole, pointing at the wall behind me,"what did you do, have those windows boarded up so that the light would n''t be seen?" |
40792 | Could they come down this road? |
40792 | Did you capture any American ammunition? |
40792 | Did you get it? |
40792 | Did your artillery harass their retreat? |
40792 | Do they always run, Rittmeister? |
40792 | Do you hear them? |
40792 | Do you know,I said feeling cold,"that we''re exposed to the French trenches?" |
40792 | Do you really mean it? |
40792 | Do you wish? |
40792 | Do you wish? |
40792 | Fine, is n''t it? |
40792 | Has your house been burned? |
40792 | How do you know? |
40792 | How far off is that shooting? |
40792 | How high is his fever? |
40792 | How is it possible? |
40792 | How long do we remain in Lille? |
40792 | How long were you drilled? |
40792 | How long,I asked him,"were the Russians here?" |
40792 | How many in a patrol? |
40792 | How many rockets, Colonel, do you send up in a night? |
40792 | How much? |
40792 | How old are they? |
40792 | How,I asked Tzschirner,"did they miss the dead we saw along the road?" |
40792 | I do talk a bit English, do I not? 40792 Is it time for the concert?" |
40792 | Is n''t this amazing? |
40792 | Is there no one else you can recommend? |
40792 | It''s on me, what was that girl speaking? |
40792 | Mr. Fox,he said,"you know how to use German rifle, do you not?" |
40792 | Ober- Lieutenant,I remark with a smile,"will that young lieutenant wear his monocle if there''s a battle?" |
40792 | Please, Madame,the Rittmeister asked her,"why did you make the sign of the cross when you saw us?" |
40792 | Pretty soon we had the whole village on fire, did n''t we, Max? |
40792 | Rittmeister,I asked suddenly,"were many men killed here?" |
40792 | Rittmeister,I asked,"did German soldiers follow the Russians down this road?" |
40792 | Say,he said,"you''re a baseball fan, are n''t you?" |
40792 | So that''s it, eh? |
40792 | So you got up the road all right? |
40792 | So you think, Your Majesty, that we are safe from war? |
40792 | Sure,he grinned; and then he put to me that everlasting question:"What do Americans think now? |
40792 | Tell me,he begged then,"Walter Johnson did n''t sign up with the Feds, did he? |
40792 | Then the French observer can see us? |
40792 | Then you also think he''s English? |
40792 | Then you fellows are the new recruits that were sent over there? |
40792 | This is our operating room,smiled the doctor;"you never saw one like it before, did you? |
40792 | This religion,he said,"makes it pleasant among the Frenchmen, and then when I get home-- well, how can I be a good Mohammedan without this?" |
40792 | Three days and how many lives? |
40792 | Want to have a look at it? |
40792 | War? |
40792 | Was I long? |
40792 | Well, boys, how do you like it here? |
40792 | What are you doing here? |
40792 | What are you still wearing that thing for, then? |
40792 | What did you do in the war? |
40792 | What did you do, commandeer quantities of it? |
40792 | What else? 40792 What is it?" |
40792 | What is that for? |
40792 | What should I have done? |
40792 | What was that lieutenant so excited about? |
40792 | What were you before you entered the army? |
40792 | What''s the matter with that chap? |
40792 | When do we reach Lyck? |
40792 | Where are the Russians? |
40792 | Where are you going? |
40792 | Where is it? |
40792 | Where is the American Hospital? |
40792 | Where is the American Hospital? |
40792 | Where were you captured? |
40792 | Where,I finally asked,"is the Great Headquarters located?" |
40792 | Where,asked the Rittmeister, returning the salute,"are the Russians?" |
40792 | Who can say? |
40792 | Who is he? |
40792 | Why do n''t your men open fire? |
40792 | Why not sing? |
40792 | Why not? |
40792 | Why,said Tzschirner gently,"do you fear us?" |
40792 | Why? |
40792 | Why? |
40792 | Wild? |
40792 | Will you return to headquarters with us for tea? |
40792 | You believe then, Professor,I asked,"that the day will come when there will be no war, when fighting actually will be done with ink? |
40792 | You do not believe there will be an attack? |
40792 | You like to hear bullets? |
40792 | You see those houses over there? |
40792 | You think it''s terrible, do n''t you? |
40792 | You would like to see? |
40792 | You would like to see? |
40792 | You would wish to see? |
40792 | You''re a regular, are n''t you? |
40792 | You''re an American, are n''t you? |
40792 | You''re not hurt? |
40792 | Your engineers changed the course of the road, bending it around that burning bridge, in one hour? |
40792 | _ Aus wo fahren sie?_called Tzschirner. |
40792 | _ Chausee nach Raygrod?_cried the Rittmeister to the sentry by the Kommandant office. |
40792 | _ Ist der Weg frei?_"_ Jawohl! 40792 _ Ist der weg frei?_"called Tzschirner. |
40792 | _ Viele Russlanders tot!_"Do they get back the results so quickly? |
40792 | A tired officer of the Hussars came in as we left and I heard him say to Von Stietencron,"So their officers were here, were they?" |
40792 | And how can any one be uneasy or frightened when every one else seems as though the very safety of their existence is torturing them to death? |
40792 | And if the whole world burns, what can the workers for peace do? |
40792 | And with his white hands you saw the boy lunge as though already he could hear the ripping steel.... What if you were his father? |
40792 | Are they ill or well treated? |
40792 | Are they more friendly than when I left?" |
40792 | Are they not allies?" |
40792 | As we were going out, one of them whispered to me,"See if you can get us our Christmas packages, wo n''t you?" |
40792 | Because they are men of air as well as of earth, have these soldier- fliers strange powers? |
40792 | But the courier and I? |
40792 | But was it not written that He suffered so that a world might be saved? |
40792 | But why?" |
40792 | By the way, how long ago was that; not more than twenty minutes? |
40792 | Ca n''t you help us?" |
40792 | Can the Germans come up fast enough? |
40792 | Carnegie''s?" |
40792 | Did we wish to climb up to it? |
40792 | Did you have in mind a Germany whose mission would be to shepherd the people of the world?" |
40792 | Do you consider international peace a friend or an enemy to robust normal manhood? |
40792 | Do you think that war cleans out degenerate tendencies of peaceful civilization?" |
40792 | Do you wish?" |
40792 | Do you wish?" |
40792 | Every conceivable thing that a modern army should know about a future battleground the British army knew.... How do I know this? |
40792 | Expecting he would follow this up by saying he was an American I looked inquiring and when he sought to turn the subject I asked:"Neutral? |
40792 | Had I been careless with the electric torch? |
40792 | Had the Ober- Lieutenant told them that darkness would bring the Russian attack? |
40792 | Had the Saxonians been told they were to be sent to the trenches? |
40792 | Had we been seen? |
40792 | Hals was shouting something; finally I guessed what it was--"Want to go down?" |
40792 | Have a cartridge?" |
40792 | Have the French attacked? |
40792 | Have you got a chapel here for these fellows?" |
40792 | How can, for instance, the Russian peasant ever understand the customs and personality of say, the poor man in England? |
40792 | How close were they now? |
40792 | How close were we now? |
40792 | How could any intelligent man believe them? |
40792 | How do I know that? |
40792 | How do you explain it?" |
40792 | How far from the French would we be in the trench? |
40792 | How was Manship? |
40792 | How, if something be marked for destruction in this war, can it escape? |
40792 | I asked,"what then? |
40792 | I could see a black wisp of smoke curling from a red brick chimney, but where were the French?... |
40792 | I had talked with decent women of all classes about the war; what of the women whose hectic lives had destroyed real values? |
40792 | I wonder what''s back of it?" |
40792 | I wonder where that other man is? |
40792 | In the fields? |
40792 | Into what? |
40792 | Is it a success or a failure? |
40792 | Is it to be the last war of the world, so terrible that humanity will not tolerate another?" |
40792 | Is n''t there some way I could go back home without going through the English Channel? |
40792 | It was the Lyck greeting-- friend or foe? |
40792 | It''s enough for two pints of bad champagne, is n''t it?" |
40792 | Might not even now the enemy be after us? |
40792 | Nerve? |
40792 | Not bad, eh?" |
40792 | Noticing a wagon loaded with barbed wire, I said to Tzschirner:"What will you do, make this position at Tauroggen permanent? |
40792 | Now it would be a rotten Christmas if a chap did n''t get those, would n''t it? |
40792 | Now, had Hals known that the shell was from a battery just getting into action? |
40792 | Of what could Downing Street be thinking? |
40792 | Or had they telephoned their own aeroplanes to put up after us? |
40792 | Plow furrows? |
40792 | Prisoners of war? |
40792 | Self? |
40792 | Stark foolhardy courage, or did a secret commission from Downing Street make this the merest commonplace of duty? |
40792 | Stories? |
40792 | Suppose after the peace treaty was signed that Germany decided to keep Belgium, would the Empire ever be able to assimilate the new people? |
40792 | Suppose that day comes, will it be a good thing? |
40792 | Suppose we were to judge America by some of the things published there?" |
40792 | That''s why you came over to fight, is n''t it?" |
40792 | The Germans are not bothering to reply, only with spasmodic shots, I think of the black winged birds; has the noise frightened them away? |
40792 | To silence the stories of ill- treatment that official press bureaus intermittently produce, why not apply a remedy? |
40792 | Wait for what? |
40792 | Was I not really under his orders? |
40792 | Was it not better than trudging off in the morning to the blowing of a whistle? |
40792 | Was not commercial jealousy between England and Germany one of the vital causes of the war?" |
40792 | Was that roar a cheer? |
40792 | What country?" |
40792 | What did they do with themselves during the day? |
40792 | What did they look like? |
40792 | What did they want? |
40792 | What do I think of this war? |
40792 | What if the two lancers who rode as a rear guard did recognize the officer in our car? |
40792 | What is he saying? |
40792 | What news have you got?" |
40792 | What of America and war? |
40792 | What other grounds are there worth while talking about when a nation is in a war for its existence? |
40792 | What sort of a man was he? |
40792 | What time is it now? |
40792 | What was he doing? |
40792 | What were the real emotions of these subjects of Germany; had the war genuine thrills for them? |
40792 | When would it open to admit the police spy?... |
40792 | When would peace be declared? |
40792 | Where are the Russians? |
40792 | Where are the Russians? |
40792 | Where are they? |
40792 | Where could the German general and his staff have their headquarters? |
40792 | Where did they come from? |
40792 | Where had I found them?... |
40792 | Where was the courier? |
40792 | Where were the French? |
40792 | Where were the dead? |
40792 | Where were they? |
40792 | Where? |
40792 | Why bother with outposts? |
40792 | Why did he have to whisper? |
40792 | Why do n''t the others hurry, so that we can move faster, too? |
40792 | Why had the soldier hurried towards him; what was the old man saying? |
40792 | Why not standardize the prison camps? |
40792 | Why the speed that Hals evidently deemed necessary? |
40792 | Why were they not sent? |
40792 | Wild?" |
40792 | Will it ever be for them? |
40792 | Will you excuse me, please, a moment? |
40792 | Will you, as one of its hardest workers, give some message to the people of America, on the status of international peace to- day and in the future?" |
40792 | Wonderful? |
40792 | Would they hit it? |
40792 | You can not tell me how long I may have to wait for them? |
40792 | You do n''t mind, do you?" |
40792 | You mean they have your papers?" |
40792 | You wish?" |
40792 | You wish?" |
40792 | _ Krieg?__ Krieg ist schrecklich!_ War is terrible!" |
40792 | do they keep it up all night? |
40792 | that will be the state of Europe in times coming''--What did you mean, Professor, by that phrase''One shepherd and one herd''? |
48941 | ''And what became of him?'' 48941 ''Does the end justify the means?'' |
48941 | And Morand? |
48941 | And what do I owe you for that, doctor? |
48941 | And what if they had? |
48941 | And you? |
48941 | Are you going to leave me to die here?... |
48941 | Are you not hiring people? |
48941 | Are you so fond of von Papen that you want to do him a favor? 48941 Are you the executioners of the German Government?" |
48941 | But what became of''Whitening''? |
48941 | But your accent? |
48941 | Do you mean to say,he exclaimed,"that they did n''t take your letters?" |
48941 | Do you really mean it? |
48941 | Goin''to take all week to get ready? |
48941 | Got a cigarette, mate? |
48941 | Has he been losing heavily again? |
48941 | Has he escaped? |
48941 | How not possible? |
48941 | I do talk a bit English, do I not? 48941 Is it you, Letty?" |
48941 | Little father, where can we get any sugar? 48941 Our dead,"he murmured reverently, and then briskly,"Shall we move on?" |
48941 | Said? |
48941 | Shut up, ca n''t yer? |
48941 | So you shot_ him_? |
48941 | The Government? 48941 Then you think he''s English?" |
48941 | Things going well? 48941 Von Papen is a very clever man-- are you going to let him take you in? |
48941 | War? |
48941 | What do you think you''re going to do? |
48941 | What else? 48941 What was the battle like?" |
48941 | What would I not do to oblige Princess M----? |
48941 | Where are you going? |
48941 | Where''s T----? |
48941 | Who is it? |
48941 | Who is it? |
48941 | Who''s down this time? |
48941 | Why are you fighting? |
48941 | Why have you arrived here without the prisoner? |
48941 | Why not sing? |
48941 | Why this pains with a dead man? |
48941 | Why was it issued? |
48941 | Why? |
48941 | Yes, but before that what did he say to you-- when you looked so serious? 48941 You have come to make me a prisoner?" |
48941 | You think the Germans are getting through this time? |
48941 | *****"What is it you want?" |
48941 | ....?" |
48941 | ....?" |
48941 | And if so, where were they hidden? |
48941 | And the machine- gunners? |
48941 | And what if you were to sell the horse and go farther?" |
48941 | And why? |
48941 | And you are certain he is still infatuated with the lady?" |
48941 | Another groaned audibly as he raised himself to ask:"Have more of my brothers fallen than of the Austrians?" |
48941 | Are butchery, frightfulness, pillage, and destruction inevitable? |
48941 | Are they going to stand by and see me knocked out?'' |
48941 | Are you someone from the Government or a Relief Committee?" |
48941 | Beginning to feel alive once again, eh?" |
48941 | Behind the crest of the cliff? |
48941 | But surely you know of that last winter''s affair of his?" |
48941 | But the courier and I? |
48941 | But was there real cause for surprise? |
48941 | But what of the Archduchess Valeria? |
48941 | But what were my unfortunate friend''s thoughts in this prison? |
48941 | But why not? |
48941 | But why?" |
48941 | But will he do it? |
48941 | But without a horse, what sort of a being should I be? |
48941 | Could I leave him alone any longer? |
48941 | Could any creation of the imagination equal this? |
48941 | Could it be that we had taken the Turks by surprise? |
48941 | Could they deposit their jewels in the Embassy vaults? |
48941 | Did you say that? |
48941 | Do you know that check?" |
48941 | Do you think he was fool enough not to realize that those papers would be seized? |
48941 | Do you wish to buy?" |
48941 | Do you? |
48941 | Eh?" |
48941 | Expecting he would follow this up by saying that he was an American I looked inquiring and when he sought to turn the subject I asked:"Neutral? |
48941 | Fifteen rubles not good money? |
48941 | For who killed you, you two German soldiers? |
48941 | Hard luck on the Battalions was n''t it? |
48941 | He finally approached me, saying in English of a most perfect and pronounced British accent,"Are you an American?" |
48941 | He spoke of his home in Syria, and then we got talking about prisoners----""But what''s all this to do with me?" |
48941 | How are you? |
48941 | How could any intelligent man believe them? |
48941 | How could my mental attitude be otherwise when I sat down and calmly compared the early weeks of the war with the existing situation? |
48941 | How did I feel on taking a human life? |
48941 | How do you like me? |
48941 | How does it hold? |
48941 | How long do you estimate this tunnelling will take?" |
48941 | How many thousands of soldiers are surging down upon us then? |
48941 | How many were there there? |
48941 | How reckon up the sufferings? |
48941 | I asked him:"Is that B.?" |
48941 | I could just catch the words:"... German patrol... one... chap wounded.... What''s that, sir?... |
48941 | I had talked with decent women of all classes about the war; what of the women whose hectic lives had destroyed real values? |
48941 | I leave it to you,_ are_ you proud? |
48941 | I parried a thrust with the stock of my rifle, but what sort of defence could I put up, seeing that my weapon was much shorter than his? |
48941 | I replied,"Yes, are you a police officer? |
48941 | I thought to myself:''What''s all this about? |
48941 | I wonder what''s back of it?" |
48941 | I wonder whether the men from whom we took them walked barefooted through the mud merely for pleasure? |
48941 | I-- HOW OUR ENGLISH COUSIN TELLS ABOUT THE BATTLE Eh? |
48941 | IV-- STORY OF THE PEASANT''S HORSE MARKET"_ Panitch!_ Do you want horses? |
48941 | If so what of? |
48941 | In the scrub? |
48941 | In the street you are stopped by people, saying:"Are you not in need of workmen in your village?" |
48941 | In the streets fugitives stop you and ask,"Friend, where can I buy any salt here? |
48941 | In trenches cut on the beach? |
48941 | Is he still at the aerodrome? |
48941 | Is his madness infectious? |
48941 | Is such a thing to be had, I wonder? |
48941 | It makes me feel altogether too"scattered"( compris?) |
48941 | It was hard to leave them, but what could we do? |
48941 | Little by little the weight forced my knees down into the mud; the water rose almost up to my hands: how was I to refill my magazine? |
48941 | MY DEAR EMMA, Do you realise that I have n''t written to you_ once_ in four months away? |
48941 | Mouth organ solo,"Who Were You With Last Night?" |
48941 | My Son- bird, how are you? |
48941 | Nasty smelly trick, is n''t it? |
48941 | Nerve? |
48941 | Of what could Downing Street be thinking? |
48941 | Or were they simply lying low and playing a waiting game? |
48941 | Out of what was all this put together? |
48941 | People tell you various enormous numbers.... How many drops of water are there in the river? |
48941 | Sad enough, indeed, is it not? |
48941 | Self? |
48941 | Song,"Are We All Here?" |
48941 | Stark foolhardy courage, or did a secret commission from Downing Street make this the merest commonplace of duty? |
48941 | Still jumping, I said to myself:''What in the name of glory are those asses right and left fooling about? |
48941 | Sunset? |
48941 | That is the way to carry on, what? |
48941 | The sequel? |
48941 | There is going to be war, is n''t there?" |
48941 | To know:--What further orders have been given? |
48941 | To the town:--To seek salt? |
48941 | To what kind of a shell, swift and growling, must it have belonged? |
48941 | VIII-- LETTER TO HIS SON ON"SWANKING"Vallie you villain what''s this I hear about your visit to Brighton? |
48941 | WHY were passports necessary? |
48941 | Was Paris safe? |
48941 | Was this a sandstorm? |
48941 | Was this farce never going to end? |
48941 | Well, my friend, then I take it the scheme is agreed upon? |
48941 | Were passports necessary? |
48941 | Were there many Germans about? |
48941 | Were there_ any_ Turks there waiting to oppose us at all? |
48941 | Were they serious enough to warrant a visit to the field- dressing station and a possible return to England? |
48941 | What country?" |
48941 | What do I think of this war? |
48941 | What do you say,_ amici_, if we try and convert the Col di Lana into an artificial volcano?" |
48941 | What happened? |
48941 | What power on earth could stop such men? |
48941 | What should I be?" |
48941 | What should I do? |
48941 | What then? |
48941 | What was"the government"going to do about sending them home? |
48941 | What were the real emotions of these subjects of Germany; had the war genuine thrills for them? |
48941 | What will the next one be, I wonder? |
48941 | What, he asked, did I claim to have information about? |
48941 | What? |
48941 | When would it open to admit the police spy?... |
48941 | Whence had so many come? |
48941 | Whence had they come to Roslavl? |
48941 | Where and when have these peasants of yesterday learnt so quickly to build dens and dwelling- places from any sort of rubbish? |
48941 | Where had I found them?... |
48941 | Where had the spy come from and how had he got there? |
48941 | Where have I heard this melancholy, hopeless tone, these very words of humiliation? |
48941 | Where to? |
48941 | Where was the courier? |
48941 | Whither should they go now? |
48941 | Who are you, Mister? |
48941 | Who can tell us what ritual we can perform to allay the anger of God and wipe out the traces of so much blood? |
48941 | Who made that talk? |
48941 | Who shall dare to judge them, dying as_ they_ died? |
48941 | Whom do you think-- to the infinite satisfaction of a man yearning for congenial society, no less than to his great surprise-- they included? |
48941 | Whose, however, is the fault? |
48941 | Why ca n''t he write to me? |
48941 | Why should I have? |
48941 | Why soda in the middle of the night? |
48941 | Why? |
48941 | Will you see to this? |
48941 | With a wicked glance towards us, he cries aloud to the Boche:"Is it not true, you pig, that you are a good pig?" |
48941 | Wonder how many of the boys will go under? |
48941 | Wonderful? |
48941 | Would there be immediate attacks by Zeppelins? |
48941 | Ye do n''t want to ride the sentries down, do ye?" |
48941 | You can not tell me how long I may have to wait for them? |
48941 | You dipped into the pot ahead of me, an''I said,''How''s a bloke goin''to love his neighbour when that neighbour pinches half his rice?'' |
48941 | You do n''t mind, do you?" |
48941 | You go into a baker''s shop and ask:"Have you any white bread?" |
48941 | You know what a job it is to parry, when you can no longer feel your own fingers? |
48941 | You mean they have your papers?" |
48941 | You remember Jack the cook? |
48941 | You remember our practice stunts at home? |
48941 | You say that you have never done any climbing in the Dolomites? |
48941 | You?" |
48941 | _ Krieg? |
48941 | and I cried as I thought of my son: Where is he? |
48941 | and has it spread to his Army?--or are these massacres due to the brutes being drunk? |
48941 | and-- but this was inevitable and unvaried-- had we found many diamonds? |
48941 | but is sand, disguised as Irish stew, lunch? |
48941 | is the reply,"said? |
48941 | or drunken magic? |
48941 | or"Did we take the trench, my General?" |
48941 | so that''s it? |
48941 | there?" |
48941 | were they never going to show themselves----? |
48941 | where are you? |
44865 | ''Live, sir? 44865 And had more comforts?" |
44865 | And now, Johnson, after doing all this for you, you wo n''t forget us, will you? 44865 And the third?" |
44865 | And you would obey orders, then? |
44865 | Are you going home through Washington? |
44865 | Are you going to fight? |
44865 | Are you not afraid of starving, up here among the Abolitionists? |
44865 | Are you one of the prisoners? |
44865 | As you please, madam; what do you call them? |
44865 | But,I asked,"will not war also unite the people of the North?" |
44865 | But,suggested Mr. Snodgrass,"suppose there are two mobs?" |
44865 | By- the- way,asked Burns, mischievously,"do you ever read_ The Tribune_?" |
44865 | Ca n''t you find him out? |
44865 | Ca n''t you get me an opportunity to see him for one moment? |
44865 | Can you conceal us here to- day? |
44865 | Can you give us supper and lodging to- night, and breakfast in the morning? 44865 Did he treat you kindly?" |
44865 | Did you ever hear of Old John Brown? |
44865 | Do n''t you wish you may get it? |
44865 | Do you know what I was doing there? |
44865 | Do you think so? 44865 Do you think so?" |
44865 | Does he ever go home? |
44865 | For how much? |
44865 | General,asked the President,"you do n''t know what''poke''means? |
44865 | Ginger,replied the officer,"have I not often told you that it is very wicked to steal?" |
44865 | Gordon,he asked,"how are your men?" |
44865 | Hatterscheit? |
44865 | Have you any business with him? |
44865 | Have you not seen it often enough to know by this time? |
44865 | He? |
44865 | How are times in the North? |
44865 | How are times in the South? 44865 How did you get away?" |
44865 | How did you hear? |
44865 | How far are you going? |
44865 | How far is it to his house? |
44865 | How far is it? |
44865 | How long shall I stay? |
44865 | How many were there? |
44865 | How strong is it? |
44865 | How will that do, Rousseau? |
44865 | I reckon you have, in all, about seventy thousand men, and three hundred cannon, have n''t you? |
44865 | I suppose you know it is rather precarious business? |
44865 | I wonder if they will call us fancy soldiers and kid- gloved boys any longer? |
44865 | In this room? |
44865 | Is he in town? |
44865 | Is he probably at home? |
44865 | Is it possible? |
44865 | Is it true,she inquired, very sadly,"that your army has been hunting and returning runaway slaves?" |
44865 | Is your wound serious? |
44865 | John,asked one of the correspondents,"does your master really think he is alive?" |
44865 | Just from Vicksburg? |
44865 | More than a mile? |
44865 | My friend,said he, in his deep bass tones,"do you know that you are on very perilous business?" |
44865 | On what do you base your opinion? |
44865 | On your way to Mexico, were you not? |
44865 | Paid for it, did you? |
44865 | Powers-- Powers,said the merchant;"what does he do?" |
44865 | Rather close work, is it not? |
44865 | Southern or Union? |
44865 | This is capital news; is it not? |
44865 | True; but do you suppose they could stand for a single week against the popular feeling which war would arouse? |
44865 | Well, John,asked one of them beside me,"how many regiments like that do you think one of ours could whip?" |
44865 | Well, Uncle,I asked of a white- haired patriarch, who was tottering along the road,"are you a Rebel, like everybody else?" |
44865 | Well, it''s just as easy as rolling off a log, is n''t it? |
44865 | Well, sir,answered Hooker,"have n''t we got as many batteries as they have? |
44865 | Well, uncle, have you joined the army? |
44865 | Were you as well clothed as now? |
44865 | What are you doing down here? |
44865 | What are you, Southerner or Union? |
44865 | What are you, anyhow? |
44865 | What can I do about it? |
44865 | What do you know about the Proclamation? |
44865 | What do you mean? |
44865 | What do you think of the prospect? |
44865 | What do you want? |
44865 | What do you want? |
44865 | What field shall I occupy? |
44865 | What is it? |
44865 | What is your name? |
44865 | What regiment is that? |
44865 | What regiment is this? |
44865 | What was the matter with your battery, Tuesday night? |
44865 | What young lady? |
44865 | When are you coming over? |
44865 | When do you think he left? |
44865 | When may I start? |
44865 | Where are all your soldiers? |
44865 | Where are you from? |
44865 | Where are you going? |
44865 | Where did it strike? |
44865 | Where did you get that turkey? |
44865 | Where do you get your leather? |
44865 | Where do you get your lumber? |
44865 | Where do you procure the birch for pegs? |
44865 | Where is General Tilghman? |
44865 | Where''s your flag of truce? |
44865 | Who are they? |
44865 | Who calls_ me_ an Abolitionist? |
44865 | Who is he? |
44865 | Who is that? |
44865 | Why did n''t you run with them? |
44865 | Why did n''t you say so before? 44865 Why did you expect protection?" |
44865 | Why did you expect us? |
44865 | Why so? |
44865 | Why? |
44865 | Would you come again, knowing what hardships were before you? |
44865 | Would you not have done better to stay at home? |
44865 | You do not remember me, do you? |
44865 | Your workmen, I presume, are from this city? |
44865 | ''Why not?'' |
44865 | ''s name''s Brown,''sn''t it? |
44865 | ----?" |
44865 | A black woman, whom we encountered on the road, was asked:"Have you run away from your master?" |
44865 | After a little pause, the surprised Rebel replied:"How in the world did you know me? |
44865 | After pouring his sorrows into the sympathetic ear of the correspondent, he suddenly asked:"What are you here for?" |
44865 | After we exchanged greetings, his first question was--"What did you honestly think of Secession while in New Orleans?" |
44865 | Again and again, leading journals, which were called reputable, asked:"Is there no Brutus to rid the world of this tyrant?" |
44865 | And now I am offered only eight hundred-- eight hundred-- eight hundred-- eight hundred;_ are_ you all done?" |
44865 | Are you Union or Secession?" |
44865 | Are you fond of the marvelous? |
44865 | Are you going to New Orleans?" |
44865 | Are you the Home Guard?" |
44865 | Assisting her to the shore, we asked:"Will you tell us where Ben Hanby lives?" |
44865 | At Upperville, the next day, I inquired of a woman who was scrutinizing us from her door:"Have you seen any Rebel pickets this morning?" |
44865 | At the close of the interview, he asked anxiously:"General, you wo n''t send me back, will you?" |
44865 | At what hour will you come?" |
44865 | Before he had been in our room five minutes one of the sub- wardens entered, asking:"Is there anybody here who has''greenbacks?'' |
44865 | Being asked with great gravity the extremely Bohemian question,"_ Which_ of them?" |
44865 | But afterward it began to ask:"How is this? |
44865 | But do you want to know when I gave him up? |
44865 | But how to tell what''s old or young-- the tap- root from the sprigs, Since Florida revealed her fount to Ponce de Leon Twiggs?" |
44865 | But what d''you elect that---- Abolitionist, Murphy, t''th''Leg''slature for?" |
44865 | But who_ is_ that Abolitionist you''lected here? |
44865 | By the way, to- morrow is Sunday; why ca n''t you go home and take a quiet family dinner with me?" |
44865 | Can any of us live to accomplish it?" |
44865 | Can you not see that they never receive any accessions? |
44865 | Commodore Foote asked him:"How could you fight against the old flag?" |
44865 | Davis here, ai n''t you?" |
44865 | Do they expect to conciliate our people in this manner?" |
44865 | Do you know how long you_ will_ stay? |
44865 | Do you understand?" |
44865 | Do you?" |
44865 | Frequently prisoners asked us, sometimes with tears in their eyes:"What shall we do? |
44865 | Had he been a Philadelphian or Bostonian, would not his friends have deemed him a candidate for a lunatic asylum? |
44865 | Have you heard Prentice''s last, upon the bursting of the Rebel bubble that Cotton is King? |
44865 | He made few assertions, but merely asked questions:"Is not this true? |
44865 | He shook hands cordially with his visitor, and asked, in great glee:"Rousseau, where did you get that joke about Senator Johnson?" |
44865 | How can they avoid it, when you refuse to give them proper information? |
44865 | How did you learn to read?" |
44865 | How should he paint the mother of mankind but in----"The flowing gold Of her loose tresses,"as a blonde-- the distinctive type of northern beauty? |
44865 | I asked her:"How do you live and support your family?" |
44865 | I asked him the other day:''Wo n''t you kill some of them before you are ever captured?'' |
44865 | I asked him:"Did you work as hard for your old master as you do here?" |
44865 | I asked:"Can you direct me to the widow----?" |
44865 | I have never encountered that mythical entity in my travels; but''tis a fearful thing to think of-- is it not? |
44865 | I looked steadily in his eye, and inquired:"Do you think so?" |
44865 | I supposed we had traveled three miles, when Davis fell back from the front, and said to me:"That young lady rides very well, does she not?" |
44865 | I ventured to ask:"Are we near the top?" |
44865 | If such a picture were exhibited in Boston, would those who clamor in our ears about negro equality ever permit us to hear the last of it? |
44865 | If you admit that fact, is not this induction correct?" |
44865 | In the confusion caused by our evolutions in the eddies, I had quite lost the points the of compass, and asked:--"In which direction is Vicksburg?" |
44865 | Is it not equally absurd to anathematize every man of my profession for the sins of a few unworthy members?" |
44865 | Is n''t that it, boss?" |
44865 | Is not this the very ecstasy of madness? |
44865 | Looking earnestly into his eyes, I asked him:"Are you a Union man or a Secessionist?" |
44865 | Need I add that it is a Yankee invention? |
44865 | Now, when you get home to New York, ca n''t you ascertain who he is, and let us know?" |
44865 | Of an Ohio regiment, lying upon the ground, he asked:--"Boys, do you see that strip of woods?" |
44865 | On being asked by a member--"Did you vote for the Secession ordinance several weeks ago?" |
44865 | Once, while his star was in the ascendant, some one asked Mr. Seward:"Will Judge Douglas ever be President?" |
44865 | One day I asked my New Orleans friend:"Why have you raised all this tempest about Mr. Lincoln''s election?" |
44865 | One of his judges and would- be executioners asked him:"Well, sir, what have you to say for yourself?" |
44865 | Powers, of New Orleans?" |
44865 | Presently a Chicago reporter inquired of him:"How do you spell your name, General?" |
44865 | Presently we again inquired:"Will you be good enough to accommodate us, or must we look farther?" |
44865 | Recognizing the plate, I asked the intelligent young Baltimore negro who brought it:"Is my friend waiting below?" |
44865 | Revolutions ride rough- shod over all probabilities; and who has mastered the logic of civil war? |
44865 | Senator Wade once asked him,"How long were you at the Military Academy?" |
44865 | Should we never leave them behind? |
44865 | Suggesting that I might have interfered with such an attempt, I asked:"Do you think you could hit him?" |
44865 | That German from Leavenworth was also with us-- what was his name?" |
44865 | The Rebels now ceased firing, and shouted--"Have you no boats?" |
44865 | The general''s manner changed from Indian summer to a Texas norther, and he asked, in freezing tones:"Have you not come to the wrong place, sir?" |
44865 | The sentinel stopped me with his musket, demanding:"Have you a pass, sir?" |
44865 | There, over the bayonet of the sentinel, this whispered conversation followed:"We hope to get out to- night; can we find refuge in your house?" |
44865 | Three or four days later, Colburn asked him--"Were you ever under fire before Sunday night?" |
44865 | Turning to Clayton, he asked:"What troops are these?" |
44865 | Two questions they invariably asked:--"What are you going to do with us, after you have subjugated us?" |
44865 | Unable to recognize him, I asked:--"Who are you?" |
44865 | We all gathered around him and asked--"General"( that was his_ soubriquet_ in the prison),"what does this mean?" |
44865 | We would hear the opening door and stealthy footsteps upon the barn- floor; then a soft voice would ask:"Friends, are you there?" |
44865 | What can I do? |
44865 | What do you know about a gambler?" |
44865 | What does he care about our rights? |
44865 | What does it all mean? |
44865 | What exile from his country Can flee himself as well? |
44865 | What forecast or augury could tell? |
44865 | What is the news, Treadaway?" |
44865 | What route was he going to take?" |
44865 | What should I be a Rebel for? |
44865 | When I asked one of them--"Where are all the white people?" |
44865 | When I handed her a twenty- dollar Rebel note, she inquired--"Have you nothing smaller than this?" |
44865 | When a subordinate asked the post- Commandant, Major John H. Gee,"Shall I give the prisoners full rations?" |
44865 | Where is he?" |
44865 | Where is the best one?'' |
44865 | Where is your place?" |
44865 | Where should he place the Garden of Eden but in the tropics? |
44865 | Where would it end? |
44865 | Which of the boys had I better send?" |
44865 | While I was pleasantly engaged in a whist- party in the cabin, this fragment of a conversation between two bystanders reached my ears:"A spy?" |
44865 | Who can be***** Loyal and neutral in a moment? |
44865 | Who could resist such a feminine appeal? |
44865 | Who shall deliver us from the body of this Black Republican flag? |
44865 | Whose servant are you?" |
44865 | Why did they not think of all this before? |
44865 | Why do you call them Rebels?" |
44865 | Why, then, should one go to Germany, unless, indeed, like Bayard Taylor, he goes for a wife? |
44865 | Will you have a cigar? |
44865 | Wo n''t you go and haul me a load of wood, as a Christmas present?" |
44865 | You do n''t take me for a fool, do you? |
44865 | You do n''t, do you?" |
44865 | You wo n''t send me back, will you?" |
44865 | _ En passant_, do you know what a Black Republican flag is? |
44865 | _ Friday, January 13._ My poor steed gave signs of approaching dissolution; and I asked the first man I saw by the roadside:"Would you like a horse?" |
44865 | _ Wednesday, January 11._ As we drowsed upon the pine leaves, I asked:"When shall we join the footmen?" |
44865 | and,"What will you do with the negroes, after you have freed them?" |
44865 | he replied,"you do n''t suppose I''m a fool, do you? |
44865 | talked to us incessantly in a low tone:--"How are you, Yanks? |

18113 | Above all,said he to him,"no pillage? |
18113 | And what is the end of so many exertions? 18113 And what would he have had to fight? |
18113 | And who contests your power? |
18113 | And with what means? 18113 And you have no wish to be a prisoner of state?" |
18113 | But France,said the Emperor,"what would France say?" |
18113 | But why employ this stranger? 18113 But why, in the absence of orders from Napoleon, had not that precaution been taken by the commanders, all of them kings, princes, and marshals? |
18113 | But,said he to him at last,"has your church been burned?" |
18113 | Can you not see,said he to them,"that as I was not born upon a throne, I must support myself on it, as I ascended it, by my renown? |
18113 | Did he wish to know the opinion of the army? 18113 Do you hear, soldiers?" |
18113 | Eugene and the army of Italy, and this long day of baffled expectation, had they then terminated together? |
18113 | From Wilna to Moscow what submission, what point of support, rest or retreat, marks his power? 18113 Had he not already in some measure quitted Europe? |
18113 | Had the Russians anticipated him? 18113 Had the coldness of the Lithuanians infected him? |
18113 | How could it be expected that with twenty- eight thousand men he could so long keep sixty thousand in check? 18113 How was it possible, moreover, to avoid seeing that in this war every thing was to be feared, even our allies? |
18113 | If provisions failed at Witepsk, what would be the case farther on? 18113 Is Napoleon unwilling to allow that Kutusoff''s attack may be bolder and more skilful than his own had been? |
18113 | Is it then a battle? |
18113 | Then I suppose I am in your way? |
18113 | To sum up all[11], what would be the result of so many conquests? 18113 Was it not notorious, that all the elements protected these countries from the first of October to the first of June? |
18113 | Was the danger then so pressing? 18113 What do you require more? |
18113 | What had brought him to Wilna? 18113 What is war? |
18113 | What say you? |
18113 | What then do you expect from our zeal? 18113 What, then, should he wait for at Witepsk? |
18113 | What, then, was the object of this war? 18113 Who are you?" |
18113 | Who were they? 18113 Why were they to be kept back? |
18113 | Will any one believe that he wished to give time to the artillerymen to shoe their horses against the ice? 18113 --What do I hear?" |
18113 | --"What signifies my brother?" |
18113 | --"What then is to be done?" |
18113 | And for what reason? |
18113 | And in fact did not he share the common danger? |
18113 | And then, when war was kindled in all quarters, how was it possible to avoid it? |
18113 | And who would wish to grow old with it? |
18113 | Are the circumstances still the same? |
18113 | Are they a property of which she has reason to be proud? |
18113 | Are we not still the soldiers of Austerlitz? |
18113 | Are you not mistaken? |
18113 | As soon as he saw him he called out to him,"Whether shall we retreat by Zembin, or go and beat Wittgenstein at Smoliantzy?" |
18113 | As to the weakness and disorganization of the Russian army, nobody believed it; but what could be urged in reply? |
18113 | At that critical moment, Murat ran up to him, and seizing him by the collar, exclaimed,"What are you about?" |
18113 | At the same moment a Russian sentinel called out to them to halt, and demanded who they were? |
18113 | Besides, where was he to stop in a retreat? |
18113 | Both facts and men spoke sufficiently; but what could they teach him? |
18113 | But Napoleon only replied to it by an exclamation of contempt:"Does that man believe himself to be so necessary? |
18113 | But as to Alexander,--who was there to counsel him? |
18113 | But as to Napoleon, what did he owe to him? |
18113 | But should he arrive there in time? |
18113 | But superfluous wrong was committed as well as necessary wrong, for who can stop midway in the commission of evil? |
18113 | But what had they gained by this movement? |
18113 | But what kind of battle? |
18113 | But what would Paris say? |
18113 | But where were its living remnants? |
18113 | But why had he placed his Emperor between him and the enemy? |
18113 | But why not make an appeal to the provinces of the south? |
18113 | Can not that subdue it in its turn? |
18113 | Could that be called conquering it? |
18113 | Could we imagine that we had either tied them up, or paralysed them, by opposing to them the Austrians in the south, and the Prussians in the north? |
18113 | Did he doubt his good fortune, or was he unwilling to contract, in the face of Europe, engagements which he was not sure of being able to fulfil? |
18113 | Did he not already hear the murmurs of his own troops?" |
18113 | Did he pretend to resist him? |
18113 | Did he want the means of wreaking the most horrible retaliation?" |
18113 | Did it become the ambition of Napoleon to denounce the ambition of Alexander? |
18113 | Did not Napoleon hear their discontented kings murmuring that they were only his prefects? |
18113 | Did not the sun of France seem to have followed him to Russia? |
18113 | Did not this tell us that a numerous cavalry was joining them from all quarters, while ours was gradually perishing? |
18113 | Did they imagine he made war from inclination? |
18113 | Do you see that man? |
18113 | Does he despise my alliance?" |
18113 | Does he expect to teach me?" |
18113 | Does he fancy then that I have need of him? |
18113 | Does he prefer the English to me? |
18113 | Does she delight in displaying them? |
18113 | Does she then believe us to be degenerated? |
18113 | Does there exist a creature ever so diminutive, on every side of which the sun, great as is that luminary, can shine at once? |
18113 | Exchange them? |
18113 | For, in fact, on what more favourable ground could Barclay make a stand? |
18113 | Had Davoust sworn the destruction of the army? |
18113 | Had I at that time accomplished the decrees of fate? |
18113 | Had a single letter from Alexander yet reached him? |
18113 | Had he not used sufficient expedition in that march, the object of which was to pass the left flank of Kutusoff?" |
18113 | Had he then hesitated to follow him, to leave Gallicia, his point of departure, his magazines, and his depôt? |
18113 | Had not all his preparations been dictated by the most clear- sighted foresight? |
18113 | Had not her armies been seen in all parts of Italy, in Germany, and even on the Rhine? |
18113 | Had not one hundred and fifty dragoons of his old guard been surprised and routed, by a number of these barbarians? |
18113 | Had not the winter in Russia been foreseen? |
18113 | Had the retreat of the Russians disconcerted him? |
18113 | Had they lost their way? |
18113 | Had they not had time to spike them, or at least to spoil their ammunition? |
18113 | Had they re- ascended the Düna? |
18113 | Has not his envious and perfidious inaction already betrayed the French army at Auerstadt? |
18113 | He asked Rapp if he thought we should gain the victory? |
18113 | He concluded thus:"Do you dread the war, as endangering my life? |
18113 | He demanded why Napoleon had placed him in such a dangerous and false position at Wagram? |
18113 | He interrogated them: Did their captains take care of them? |
18113 | He would not stop at Paris; how could he then retreat at Wilna? |
18113 | How came it, amidst the noisy acclamations of Europe, that his anxious ear could hear the few solitary voices which disputed his legitimacy? |
18113 | How could men be roused to insurrection, for the sake of a liberty whose very name they did not understand? |
18113 | How is it possible to stop short in the midst of so glorious a career?" |
18113 | How many years''service? |
18113 | If I retreat, what would the Emperor say? |
18113 | If it was necessary to drag every thing along with them, to transport France into Russia, wherefore had they been required to quit France?" |
18113 | If the rest retreated in such good order, proud, and so little discouraged, what signified the gain of a field of battle? |
18113 | If we wanted assistance, there could be none expected by waiting for it; we must go and look for it; but on which side? |
18113 | In such extensive countries, would there ever be any want of ground for the Russians to fight on? |
18113 | In that situation, if Tchitchakof stole a few marches on him, was it at all wonderful? |
18113 | Is it against nature that that aggression should be successful? |
18113 | Is it rather, that after the desire of knowing them, her first wish is to impart her sensations? |
18113 | Is it then the fate of the South to be vanquished by the North? |
18113 | Is the emperor, then, to be no more than a spectator of this expedition? |
18113 | Is the soul, also, proud of her deep and numerous wounds? |
18113 | Is there another coalition preparing? |
18113 | It is true, that all did not stop at that; but when one disorder is authorized, how can others be forbidden? |
18113 | It was not his fortune then that had failed him, but he who had been wanting to his fortune?" |
18113 | Moreover, when the history of great men relates even their last moments, how can I conceal the last sighs of the grand army when it was expiring? |
18113 | Moscow was the general rallying point; how could it be changed? |
18113 | Must he repay a fidelity which had been so cruelly tried, by an act of treachery such as that of taking Norway from her to give to Sweden?" |
18113 | Must the glory of it devolve on Davoust?" |
18113 | Next day, when the emperor reviewed that regiment, he inquired where was its third battalion? |
18113 | Ney listened:"Is this Davoust at last,"he exclaimed,"who has recollected me?" |
18113 | Ney''s officers here interrupted their narrative to inquire in their turn what had passed? |
18113 | No doubt his influence over his men was great, but could it extend beyond nature? |
18113 | Now that the war has returned back to the same spots, will the Russians, whose movements are much more free than ours were then, imitate our error? |
18113 | Of what was he ignorant? |
18113 | On which the Emperor remained for some time in a profound silence; then with a more serious air:"Are all the reports of my ministers burnt?" |
18113 | Ought he to allow Russia time to arm herself entirely? |
18113 | Release them? |
18113 | Shall we stay where we are, or advance? |
18113 | Shall we then recede, when all Europe is looking on and encouraging us? |
18113 | Should they march thither by Kalouga, Medyn or Mojaisk? |
18113 | Should we not have all desired, at that time, to be the heroes whose real or fictitious history we were perusing? |
18113 | The Emperor resumed:"Do you see, sir, this devastated country, these villages in flames? |
18113 | The Lithuanians, it was said, desired our presence; but on what a soil? |
18113 | The emperor rejoined,"Did they take him for a madman? |
18113 | The emperor, uttering an exclamation of sorrow, said to him,"You have heard the news, do you wish to retire?" |
18113 | The service of these men would be, it was said, only temporary; but who could ever wish for their return? |
18113 | Then pointing to a still serene sky, he asked,"if in that brilliant sun they did not recognize his star?" |
18113 | They asked our officers,"if they had not, in their own country, corn enough, air enough, graves enough-- in short, room enough to live and die? |
18113 | They did not even pity them; for, in short, what had they lost by dying? |
18113 | They even went further, and awakened some of his dormant fears:"Was it not Davoust who, after the victory of Jena, drew the emperor into Poland? |
18113 | They first supplied them with clothes and provisions, and then asked them where were their_ corps d''armée_? |
18113 | They had approached nearer to the fire, and could neither retreat nor remain where they were; and how were they to advance? |
18113 | This was no doubt a barbarity too; but what could we do? |
18113 | To feel, and to excite feeling, are not these the most powerful springs of our soul? |
18113 | To what then must we attribute this delay, when famine, disease and the winter, and three hostile armies were gradually surrounding us? |
18113 | To which Napoleon replied,"And if there should be another battle to- morrow, where is my army?" |
18113 | To whom are these disasters to be charged? |
18113 | To whom were complaints to be addressed? |
18113 | True, we had come up with the Russian rear- guard; but was it that of their army? |
18113 | Up to that time, were they not indebted for their wealth to war, which caused all the commerce of France with Europe to pass through their hands? |
18113 | Was he afraid of Austria? |
18113 | Was he still undecided as to the destiny he should bestow upon them?" |
18113 | Was he then going to precipitate himself and his army beyond all those nations whose wounds, for which they were indebted to us, were not yet healed? |
18113 | Was his manoeuvre thwarted? |
18113 | Was it not more likely that Barclay had fled towards Smolensk by way of Rudnia? |
18113 | Was it not rather a method of rendering the Poles and the French, who were mixed with these dangerous allies, entirely useless? |
18113 | Was it our artillery and baggage that had caused this tardiness? |
18113 | Was it possible that at Moscow he should have less ascendancy over Alexander? |
18113 | Was it right to leave the enemy''s fires to destroy what might be saved? |
18113 | Was it that Napoleon, accustomed to the active intelligence of his soldiers, had reckoned too much upon their foresight? |
18113 | Was not Napoleon fleeing? |
18113 | Was not the constant importunity of his letters, and his continual solicitations sufficient? |
18113 | Was not the contemporary, the comrade, the rival of Suwarrow yet living? |
18113 | Was not the fatal moment arrived when this Colossus was about to surround us with his threatening arms? |
18113 | Was not the road to Malo- Yaroslawetz open but the preceding day? |
18113 | Was not the term of Napoleon''s destiny already irrevocably marked? |
18113 | Was the army always to put up with their leavings; and in order to obtain them, was it always to wait till they had glutted themselves?" |
18113 | Was there ever so great a military achievement? |
18113 | Was there not the Russian army, which, as they were told, still numbered four hundred thousand men, to defend them? |
18113 | Weak and famished as they were, how could they support a long and terrible shock? |
18113 | Were the Russians determined to conquer or die?" |
18113 | Were the Russians gone to Smolensk? |
18113 | Were we not leaving our wounded and a multitude of prisoners at his mercy? |
18113 | What are they doing above, then?" |
18113 | What business had we in the burnt and ravaged Smolensk, but to take a supply of provisions and proceed rapidly onwards? |
18113 | What business has the emperor in the rear of the army? |
18113 | What chief could be responsible for the crowd of officers and soldiers who were scattered through the country in order to collect its resources? |
18113 | What chief had ever before so many means of power? |
18113 | What could be said to him, which he had not himself said and written a hundred times? |
18113 | What could be taken from them? |
18113 | What did he care for England? |
18113 | What did he care for the anger of the emperor, and for his decision? |
18113 | What did the Emperor of Russia want with him? |
18113 | What has every one been reckoning upon? |
18113 | What influence could be obtained over a people almost savages, without property, and without wants? |
18113 | What motive then could be so just and so powerful as to inspire him with such astonishing confidence? |
18113 | What necessity was there for his remaining at the head of a routed army? |
18113 | What need had he of him?" |
18113 | What other name would have any attraction? |
18113 | What signified his rank? |
18113 | What signified one unpleasant night? |
18113 | What signified the menacing attitude of the Russians and their impenetrable woods? |
18113 | What spirit of infatuation is it that has seized the whole army as well as its leader? |
18113 | What then urged them into this roving and adventurous life? |
18113 | What vanity could resist a charm of so great potency? |
18113 | What was he going to do; and whatever might be his plan, whither would he direct his steps, without a guide, in an unknown country? |
18113 | What was his reply to the news of the offer of several Swedes, when he himself waited upon him to inform him of it? |
18113 | What was now to be done? |
18113 | What was the cause of the general discouragement? |
18113 | What would Europe think? |
18113 | What would be the effect of this barbarity on the enemy? |
18113 | What would be thought, if it were known that a third of his army, dispersed or sick, were no longer in the ranks? |
18113 | What would they think? |
18113 | What would you do singly by yourselves, and without me? |
18113 | When he exclaimed, therefore,"Is it possible that I have left this man so large a territory?" |
18113 | When his arrival was announced to the emperor, the latter grew angry, and at first refused to see him:--"What did this prince want of him? |
18113 | When they, all of them, only waited a suitable occasion in order to turn against him, why run the risk of giving that occasion birth?" |
18113 | When will its gates at length open? |
18113 | Where are they? |
18113 | Where could they ever halt, in the midst of these level plains, divested of every species of position fortified by nature or by art? |
18113 | Where were now the rapid movements of Marengo, Ulm, and Eckmühl? |
18113 | Where were they? |
18113 | Wherefore communicate those terrible impressions which harrow up the soul? |
18113 | Wherefore do each other useless injury? |
18113 | Wherefore lay waste fresh provinces? |
18113 | Wherefore so many precautions? |
18113 | Which of them all risked so much as he? |
18113 | While I support you, I do myself an injury in the eyes of the people; for what am I but the king of the_ tiers- état_: is not that sufficient?" |
18113 | While boasting of his good fortune, was it not evident that he was insulting their misfortunes? |
18113 | While the French armies covered all Europe, how could the Russians be reproached for increasing their army? |
18113 | Whither, then, must we pursue the Russians, in order to compel them to fight? |
18113 | Who could persuade them to interrupt it, to retrace their steps, and return once more into the darkness and frozen deserts of Russia? |
18113 | Who is there amongst us who, in his early years, has not been fired by the perusal of the warlike exploits of the ancients and of our ancestors? |
18113 | Who is there that can fancy that the great struggle between the North and the South is at an end? |
18113 | Who is there that would not have rushed forward, replete with joy and hope, and disdaining an odious and scandalous repose? |
18113 | Who suffered the greatest loss, in this disaster? |
18113 | Who then was there to defend her?" |
18113 | Who was to punish? |
18113 | Whom had he to oppose to him? |
18113 | Why did he come again to persecute him with his presence? |
18113 | Why did he prefer the union of the three northern crowns on the head of a prince of Denmark? |
18113 | Why did not they send Frenchmen and Poles there? |
18113 | Why had he been trifled with, by sending him bulletins made to deceive the idlers of the capital? |
18113 | Why had we been obstinately deaf to her voice?" |
18113 | Why keep proceeding northward? |
18113 | Why should he seek to_ purchase_ of Fortune what she was so generously giving him? |
18113 | Why so much precipitation to overtake the enemy, with an army panting, exhausted, and weakened? |
18113 | Why so slow and drawling a march on such a critical occasion? |
18113 | Why then did they come so far from home to throw away their lives and to fatten a foreign soil with their blood?" |
18113 | Why then remain around them to perish by battalions, by masses? |
18113 | Why was not that liberty offered to them in 1807? |
18113 | Why was such respect to be paid them?" |
18113 | Why-- when in our rear Borowsk and Vereïa would lead us without danger to Mojaisk-- why reject that safe route? |
18113 | Will not the cutting off Augereau and his brigade upon that road open his eyes? |
18113 | Will they keep in our rear when they can so easily place themselves before us, on the line of our retreat? |
18113 | Will you answer for that?" |
18113 | With what could they be tempted? |
18113 | Would he allow him even to get beyond the frontiers of Russia proper, which loudly called for the sacrifice of this great victim? |
18113 | Would he, Davoust, defend it? |
18113 | Would not the duration of the enterprise augment its danger? |
18113 | Would not the eastern departments profit most by that event? |
18113 | Would not the meditated departure leave her solitary, deserted, without a ruler, without an army, accessible to every diversion? |
18113 | Would these serfs, habituated to the irregularities of war, bring back their former submission? |
18113 | Would they station liberty so near slavery? |
18113 | and is the frightful result of our invasion a fresh proof of it? |
18113 | and knowing that Dodde had just come from the latter position, he asked him if it was approachable? |
18113 | and of what use is the example of the past, in a world where there never were two men, two things, or two situations exactly alike? |
18113 | and why are time and space denied me to relate them? |
18113 | but what need have I of you? |
18113 | desired to know his wishes, exhibit so much indifference? |
18113 | do n''t you see that we belong to the corps of Ouwarof, and that we are going on a secret expedition?" |
18113 | exclaimed he,"do you believe they would dare?" |
18113 | exclaimed the Emperor, clasping his hands,"are you sure you are right? |
18113 | for his having given them wives, if he made them widowers by a continual absence? |
18113 | for when, indeed, are these masters of the world ever entirely masters of themselves? |
18113 | had their unfortunate comrades fallen? |
18113 | had they received their pay? |
18113 | he exclaimed in astonishment,"_ Te Deum!_ Dare they then lie to God as well as to men?" |
18113 | how force a passage through the waves of this ocean of flame? |
18113 | how many campaigns? |
18113 | in the midst of what peculiar manners? |
18113 | in what a climate? |
18113 | or rather, did he dread the explosion of a patriotism which he might not be able to master? |
18113 | rejoined the officer;"and wherefore do you come into Russia?" |
18113 | retorted Napoleon;"does one give away a kingdom like Spain? |
18113 | said he,"and are_ you_ not inflamed by this idea? |
18113 | said he,"does this monarch dare neither to make peace nor war? |
18113 | they replied.--"What do you want?" |
18113 | to allow him to escape with his victory? |
18113 | to what corps did they belong? |
18113 | to what was he to attribute the jealous anxiety to weaken his eulogium in the journals by artful notes? |
18113 | was he likely to leave them motionless now, when, instead of striking him mortal blows, we had been struck ourselves? |
18113 | was it for her that he was fighting? |
18113 | was it the victorious Russian army they were about to meet? |
18113 | was not the next day to decide every thing? |
18113 | were they in want of any requisite? |
18113 | were they then to be left to the mercy of Kutusoff? |
18113 | were they too late? |
18113 | what exploits? |
18113 | what had they left behind them? |
18113 | what had they to gain by remaining by their colours? |
18113 | what had they to show for it? |
18113 | what have they been doing for the last three weeks that they have not heard from me? |
18113 | what have they to give you? |
18113 | what is that to me? |
18113 | what position would he determine to dispute? |
18113 | what shall we do? |
18113 | what was Junot about?" |
18113 | what would be said by France, by the army, by Europe? |
18113 | what would they do there? |
18113 | what wounds? |
18113 | where are their twenty days''provisions? |
18113 | why go to meet winter, to provoke and to defy it?--it was already too near; and what was to become of the six thousand wounded still in Moscow? |
18113 | why had he exposed himself to be cut off?" |
18113 | why had the cannon been abandoned to the enemy untouched? |
18113 | why the report of that victory had been so unfavourable to him? |
18113 | why then stop him and force him to conquer? |
19710 | ''Ad''e a finance? 19710 ''Ave yer got a fag to spare?" |
19710 | ''Ave yer? 19710 ''E is, is''e?" |

7851 | Does he yet know his letters? |
7851 | Does our friend Doctor Blythe still reside at Georgetown? |
7851 | God bless you; you have my prayers always; and who dare say they are not as good as a bishop''s, or any member of a Presbyterian synod? |
7851 | Had I any thing so much at heart as to render him happy? |
7851 | Has he not informed you, or have you not understood( and if so, how?) |

7851 | How long are you to stay in Charleston? |
7851 | How was this to be effected? |
7851 | How, then, could I refuse him one day? |
7851 | I asked Alston,''Would you wish to see my notes of what passed between Duane and me?'' |
7851 | I have not asked the price, but not exceeding_ eight hundred dollars!_ Did you take away"The man of Nature?" |
7851 | I then thought so, as you will readily believe; because, why should I deceive my dear little Theodosia? |
7851 | I went to a wedding supper at Mrs. Moore''s, whose daughter has married Willing-- could any one suppose she was_ unwilling_? |
7851 | If I leave Richmond Hill, however, had I not better buy in town, that you may have a resting- place there? |

7851 | Is my wife, too, taken from me? |
7851 | Is not that good Irish? |
7851 | Is not that industry? |

7851 | Might I safely travel through your low country at this season? |
7851 | Montesquieu says he writes to make people think; and why may not Theodosia? |
7851 | Now, how much wiser or better are we than this time last year? |
7851 | Now, ma Minerve, is not this a very ridiculous posture for so grave an affair? |
7851 | Now, what are your plans? |
7851 | One letter may contain the name, and another the comment--_"Car ou l''arreter?_"is rather too mystical. |
7851 | Or how shall I annex any precise idea to language so indefinite? |

7851 | Shall I write to her to- night, or omit it till to- morrow? |
7851 | Taking lessons of Wisdom from your Minerva? |
7851 | The mother I cherished with so much pride? |
7851 | The next question was, Of whom shall the assembly ticket for the city be composed? |
7851 | The question--_When shall we meet_? |
7851 | There; is not that little incident related in the true heroic style? |

7851 | Would Mr. Alston be willing to go as secretary to Chancellor Livingston? |
7851 | Would it be an intolerable labour, if, precisely at half past nine o''clock every evening, you should say,"I will now devote an hour to papa?" |
7851 | Would you think it? |
7851 | Yet wherefore? |
7851 | Yet would not a permanent residence in town for some, for many, for all reasons, be better? |
7851 | Yet, on second thought, would it not be better that he break his? |

7850 | Was it philosophy that supported you in your trials? 7850 When and where shall I see you again?" |
7850 | Who can view the works of nature, and the productions of art, without the most sublime and rapturous emotions? 7850 Why, Major Burr,"says he,"you are not going?" |
7850 | _ Plus que jamais à vous_,dost thou recollect it? |
7850 | _ Question._ Ought the votes of Clinton to be canvassed? |
7850 | ----Where can----- be? |
7850 | --I rose up suddenly from the sofa, and rubbing my head--"What book shall I buy for her?" |
7850 | Am I dreaming, or do you leave home again before you go to Philadelphia? |
7850 | Am I to blame Strong? |
7850 | And can you really hope, my Theodosia, with all your ingenuity, to convince me that such a being will enjoy equal happiness in marriage with me? |
7850 | And do you find that you converse with more facility in the French? |
7850 | And do you regret that you are not also a woman? |
7850 | And have you not as much philosophy as I have? |
7850 | And tell me what is laudanum? |
7850 | And what are its effects? |
7850 | And when we enter on the theatre of the world, why not act our parts together? |
7850 | And who can be a judge of these consequences but myself? |
7850 | And why he did not retreat with the army? |
7850 | Are authority and compulsion then the only engines by which you can be moved? |
7850 | Are the Wadsworths with you? |
7850 | Are the wagons you mentioned some time ago returned? |
7850 | Are there any, or very pressing calls at the office? |
7850 | Are you afflicted with any of your old, or with what new complaint? |
7850 | Aristotle says"that a man should not marry before he is six- and- thirty:"pray, Mr. Alston, what arguments have you to oppose to such authority? |
7850 | As you are likely to make considerable use of it, would it not be worth while to have a few days''work done on it? |
7850 | Better or worse? |
7850 | But even supposing I should fail in this-- where is this sad reverse of fortune?--this lamentable change? |
7850 | But pray, when you have got up to two hundred lines a lesson, why do you go back again to one hundred and twenty, and one hundred and twenty- five? |
7850 | But what has become of poor Alpha Beta? |
7850 | But what necessity for enumerating all these circumstances? |
7850 | But when that love is real, what can amuse, what engage the mind, to banish, for a single instant, the object of its delight? |
7850 | But why am I requested to"_ say nothing about obligations_,"while you continue to load me with new ones? |
7850 | But why do you diminish their value by carelessness? |
7850 | But why need I advise a person of better judgment than myself? |
7850 | But why need I confine myself to these? |
7850 | But why should I desire you to do what I know your own heart will dictate? |
7850 | But why should we connect ourselves with any of them, so as to interrupt our studies? |
7850 | But why these questions, to which I can receive no answer but in person? |
7850 | But why this to you, who know me better than I know myself? |
7850 | But, allowing both these objections their full force, may there not be a single case that they do not reach? |
7850 | Ca n''t you lug a scrap from him now and then, apropos, into your letters? |
7850 | Can interest repay the sacrifice? |
7850 | Can it be that you have still in memory the vagrant Burr? |
7850 | Can you excuse, sir, the overflowing of a heart that knows not where to stop when on a subject so interesting? |
7850 | Can you form an idea of a more happy mortal than she will be when seated on the throne of Constantinople? |
7850 | Can you leave Mr. Osmer without injury? |
7850 | Coquetting for admiration and attracting flattery? |
7850 | DEAR SIR, His excellency desires me to inquire whether you have received any information of the enemy''s movements, situation, or design? |
7850 | Did he know the printed orders?--was she sold conformable? |
7850 | Discouraged? |
7850 | Do I read right? |
7850 | Do n''t you see that this sentence would have been perfect and much more elegant without the last_ it_? |
7850 | Do you continue to preserve Madame De S.''s good opinion of your talents for the harp? |
7850 | Do you discover a symptom of it? |
7850 | Do you mean that the forty lines which you construed in Virgil were in a part you had not before learned? |

7850 | Does Theodosia employ herself ever in the same way? |
7850 | Does it not drop through your tent? |
7850 | Does young Mr. Broome attend? |
7850 | For friendship? |
7850 | Four pages in Lucian was a great lesson; and why, my dear Theo., ca n''t this be done a little oftener? |
7850 | General Knox presented himself, and Burr( then called Major Burr) asked the general what he did there? |
7850 | Has she a soul framed for love? |
7850 | Has some earthquake, some sudden and dreadful concussion of nature, ingulfed you? |
7850 | Has the God of heaven, in anger, here changed the order of nature? |
7850 | Have my directions been pursued with regard to her Latin and geography? |
7850 | Have you done running up and down stairs? |
7850 | Have you ever ratified the vows she made in your behalf? |
7850 | Have you not been tormented with some embarrassments which I wickedly left you to struggle with? |
7850 | He was turned round and round by each of the company: was asked where he got that very neat bag, and the valuable locket? |
7850 | Hence arose a question, whether this was not a_ personal trust_, which could not be legally performed by deputy? |
7850 | How could I write to you How divine your residence? |
7850 | How could we forget Latimer? |
7850 | How do you live, sleep, and amuse yourself? |
7850 | How have you borne it? |
7850 | How is it possible you can write me such short letters, having so much leisure, and surrounded with all that can interest me? |
7850 | How is it possible you had nothing more to write? |
7850 | How is this? |
7850 | How is your health? |
7850 | How many sergeants''parties have you? |
7850 | I have a thousand questions to ask, but why ask of the dumb? |
7850 | I set out for camp the last of this week; may I expect letters from my friend? |
7850 | I should doubtless be happier if I enjoyed perfect health and the society of a friend_ like you_; but why do I say like you? |
7850 | I would give, what would I not give to see or know even your most trifling actions and amusements? |
7850 | If he was not sheriff, can the votes sent by him be legally canvassed? |
7850 | If you finish your causes before court is over, can not you look at us, even should you return to the manor? |
7850 | If you were half as punctual or as fortunate( which shall I call it? |
7850 | In plain terms, can you spare me the amount of it? |
7850 | Is Chevalier still punctual? |
7850 | Is it because each revolving day proves thee more deserving? |
7850 | Is it not a very easy matter to fix on another time, and write you word by T. Edwards? |
7850 | Is it owing to ignorance or prejudice that I have not yet met a single person who had discovered or would allow the merit of this work? |
7850 | Is it possible my affection can increase? |
7850 | Is that right? |
7850 | Is the language and spelling your own? |
7850 | Is this the promised protection? |
7850 | Laid aside for the present? |
7850 | Let me know whether you are yet suited with horses, and how? |
7850 | Lo Alexander and Cesar, the fabled heroes of antiquity, to what lengths did passion hurry them? |
7850 | MY DEAR SIR, Will you allow me that appellation, who have so long neglected to inform you of the situation of your affairs left in my hands? |
7850 | May l expect to see you here in the spring? |
7850 | Might it not be of service to draw a line, if but for a few days, from Bronx to Rye, or Mamaroneck? |
7850 | Must I attribute it to the fatality which has already separated us, and, I fear, is determined to put an eternal bar to our junction? |
7850 | Need we a proof of this? |
7850 | Never enjoying, always hoping? |
7850 | Now, say you, what has this to do with the introduction of a correspondence? |
7850 | Oh, why did n''t you bring her? |
7850 | On the 24th of June, 1778, the commander- in- chief propounded to the general officers the question,"Will it be advisable to hazard a general action?" |
7850 | Or are you so angry as not to think I merit an answer? |
7850 | Or, why should I be denied the common privilege of every liberal mind, that of acknowledging the obligation which I have not the power of cancelling? |
7850 | Ought the votes of Tioga to be canvassed? |
7850 | Ought they to canvass those sealed in the box, and reject the others? |
7850 | Pray why have you neglected to answer my letter by Colonel Wadsworth? |
7850 | Pray, do you recollect the opinion which Judge Candour solemnly pronounced upon us both, in a court of reason held at the Indian King? |
7850 | Pray, from whom did you learn that he was angry? |
7850 | Pray, in what consists the pleasure of a familiar correspondence? |
7850 | Pray, say you, what is it to me why you have not been in the army? |
7850 | Quoi faire? |
7850 | Run off and leave him? |
7850 | Shall I add, their love also? |
7850 | Shall I guess again? |
7850 | She promised to give you now and then a lesson on the forte- piano; is she as good as her word? |
7850 | Stiff with cold, how must his papa have fared? |
7850 | Supposing he should come here the 13th of April, what could I do? |
7850 | Tell me truly, did you write it without assistance? |
7850 | Tell me, Aaron, why do I grow every day more tenacious of thy regard? |
7850 | That you are not numbered in that galaxy of beauty which adorns an assembly- room? |
7850 | The cheerfullness of all around me led me to ask why all animated nature enjoyed its being but man? |
7850 | The handwriting of the letters various; very good, very bad, and middling; emblematic, shall I say, of the fair authoress? |
7850 | The happiness of my life depends on your exertions; for what else, for whom else do I live? |
7850 | The inquiry was then made--"What are we to do?" |
7850 | The reason, indeed, is obvious; for what more necessary to be learned and accurately understood? |
7850 | Till that time, my dear friend, can you keep me above water, and do justice to yourself? |
7850 | To whom am I indebted but to you, my friend, for this unmerited favour? |
7850 | Under such circumstances, am I not only warranted in these remarks, but imperiously called upon to make them? |
7850 | Was Richard R. Smith the sheriff of the county of Otsego when he received and forwarded the ballots by his special deputy? |
7850 | We stared, and asked one another-- How could Burr know that? |
7850 | What brighter mark-- what stronger evidence need we of a God? |
7850 | What can be the reason of the great delay in forwarding letters by the post? |
7850 | What can have exhausted or disturbed you so much? |
7850 | What greater blessing can await me? |
7850 | What is all this says my friend Aaron? |
7850 | What is become of the rifles? |
7850 | What is the exchange with you? |
7850 | What language can express the joy, the gratitude of Theodosia? |
7850 | What other mode remained to set the public mind at ease? |
7850 | What shall I do with the other articles, a small parcel of glassware and rum, and the money arising from the sales of the vessel''s sea- coat,& c.? |
7850 | What then will be your substitute? |
7850 | What think you of this alteration in the plan we settled? |
7850 | What thought suggested my assent? |
7850 | What will you think of the taste of New- York when I shall tell you that Miss Broadhurst is not very generally admired here? |
7850 | What would I not give to have but those four small words from thee? |
7850 | What would be your conjectures in such a case? |
7850 | What would you say if I should tell you that----- had absolutely professed love for me? |
7850 | What-- can neither affection nor civility induce you to devote to me the small portion of time which I have required? |
7850 | Where and how made? |
7850 | Where are the promised letters? |
7850 | Where did it loiter so long? |
7850 | Where is Miss Burr? |
7850 | Who are so naturally our friends as those who are born such? |
7850 | Who can view the miseries of others, without being dissolved into compassion? |
7850 | Why are you so cautiously silent as to our little Sally? |
7850 | Why are you still in town? |
7850 | Why did I consent to his departure? |
7850 | Why did I hesitate to decide? |
7850 | Why did you undertake that very laborious task you mention? |
7850 | Why do you delay it so long? |
7850 | Why do you neither acknowledge nor answer my last letter? |
7850 | Why, Burr, all this negligence? |
7850 | Why, then, will you expose my weakness by ascribing to me imaginary excellences? |
7850 | Will it not advance the service to send you down some biscuit? |
7850 | Will it not be possible for you to meet me at Trenton, that we may travel together to New- York? |
7850 | Will not these continued rains deprive us of the pleasure of the promised visit of the W.''s? |
7850 | Will you be able to extricate me from the difficulties attending this bill? |
7850 | Will you be abroad any, and what part of the summer? |
7850 | Will you speedily supply the deficiency? |
7850 | Will your health permit you to join the army? |
7850 | Wo n''t she come up this winter? |
7850 | Would he believe, still further, that it was drawn by an American? |
7850 | Would not these evils be in some measure remedied by sending me a parcel of shoes? |
7850 | Would not this be truly satanic? |
7850 | You are not contented, my dear Burr, and why are you not? |
7850 | You ask how Miss P. walks? |
7850 | You say nothing of writing or learning Greek verbs;--is this practice discontinued? |
7850 | You sigh for New- Jersey, and why do you not return? |
7850 | _ Qu''a- t- il_, Alexis? |
7850 | and why? |
7850 | and, therefore, what more proper to engage the attention? |
7850 | can aught on earth compensate for his presence? |
7850 | from what unfriendly cause does this arise? |
7850 | frown? |
7850 | has Heaven more to grant? |
7850 | or the postmaster? |
7850 | or whom? |
7850 | what more near and interesting? |
51206 | ''_ Wer ist da?_''we hear again. 51206 After the war you going to Mokka, Johnnie?" |
51206 | And the British? |
51206 | And to the Irishman? |
51206 | And what are you in private life? |
51206 | And where are you going to drive them? |
51206 | Any of you blokes speak English? |
51206 | Are you quite sure? 51206 Art thou there? |
51206 | Baas, have you a flask? |
51206 | Been havin''a sing- song? |
51206 | Bread? 51206 Buddha, Johnnie?" |
51206 | But yet-- but yet----Why does he feel that way about it? |
51206 | But you? |
51206 | D''ye ken it''s been my life''s dream to see yon London? 51206 Do n''t you see, Little Brother?" |
51206 | Do you know what we shall do with them-- with all these patriots? |
51206 | Do you know where we are? |
51206 | Do you remember when they called the 1917 class a year ahead of time? 51206 Does''e bite?" |
51206 | German? |
51206 | Get him? 51206 Get the idea? |
51206 | Gunga, Johnnie? |
51206 | Has he changed his mind? |
51206 | Have n''t I? |
51206 | Have you ever seen a_ tir de barrage_? 51206 Have you found out yet?" |
51206 | Have you reflected? 51206 Ho, that? |
51206 | Ho,_ are_ they? |

51206 | ''Are they numerous?'' |
51206 | ''Have we exterminated them all?'' |

51206 | A little bit of all right, eh?" |

51206 | After that---- Oh, is that your train, mon? |
51206 | Ai n''t you got no sooverneer?" |
51206 | All those sublimities: how can they be explained without losing their soul, without taking away their value, which is of mystery and miracle? |
51206 | Am I really in jeopardy myself? |
51206 | Am I really killing men day by day? |
51206 | An''at''ome they''re a- s''yin'',''W''y do n''t they get on with it? |
51206 | And did you destroy the enemy''s guns? |
51206 | And he replied,"Is there anny wonder, Sir, wid that scrap o''paper there?" |
51206 | And in front, whither should they go?... |
51206 | And was I really the budding novelist in New York? |
51206 | And would your Honor hide in the forest like them-- like the Germans?" |
51206 | Armentières is called"Armenteers"; Balleul,"Ballyall"; Hazebrouck,"Hazy- Brook"; and what more natural than"Plug- Street,"Atkinsese for Ploegsteert? |
51206 | At last the Englishman can keep silent no longer and asks:"Will they treat us very severely?" |
51206 | Black bread?" |
51206 | But can one demand that of the others? |
51206 | But did he not instruct you to return to Berlin?" |
51206 | But he asks aloud:"Finished?" |
51206 | But it is nothing to us, eh? |
51206 | But of what avail were cupboards to a jam- loving and jam- fed British army living in open ditches in the summer time? |
51206 | But suppose he should be greeted, before ever he can introduce the topic himself, with the genial inquiry,"And how are your stanchions lasting?" |
51206 | But the men? |
51206 | But when will these barbarians be entirely driven away? |
51206 | Can I be of any service to you? |
51206 | Can you imagine that a person as peaceable as I could find it possible to drive a horse to death with whip and spurs? |
51206 | Can you imagine what that meant to me? |
51206 | Can you picture that? |
51206 | Captain Herail went into the next room and addressed his wife:"You have heard what he has said? |
51206 | Could it by the furthest stretch of imagination be considered as giving information to the enemy? |
51206 | Could there be any harm in granting me those favors? |
51206 | D''ye hear thot? |
51206 | D''you remember the birthday three years ago when we set the victrola going outside your room door? |
51206 | Did one ever hear of such tyranny? |
51206 | Did such attractive girls still come in and sing and dance as those whose pictures stared at him out of the pages of the last number of the_ Nida_? |
51206 | Do they get paid by the minute? |
51206 | Do you say to yourself that"this terrible war"has robbed me of all my estimable"woman''s weaknesses?" |
51206 | Do you shudder when I write to you of these things? |
51206 | Do you think so? |
51206 | Does it please you to remain here?" |
51206 | Does one see more truly life''s worth on a battlefield? |
51206 | Everybody in France remembers the sad question of the little girl who asked her mother,"Will Santa Claus bring me back my hands for Christmas?" |
51206 | First of all, where are you from?" |
51206 | From the side where the firing comes from, beyond and to the right, they are yelling at us, both in German and Russian,''What''s the matter? |
51206 | Have they then altered the text of the Holy Books? |
51206 | He ran away a month ago, you say?" |
51206 | He then murmured:"Why are you so good to us, madame? |
51206 | He was taken to the sick bay and after drinking his tea, he turned to his commander and said:"Why should n''t we get into these cots, sir?" |
51206 | Hear anything?" |
51206 | How do these and the many other brave men who have been reported in the present war compare with the heroes of antiquity? |
51206 | How long would it take the Burgomaster to produce the money? |
51206 | How?" |
51206 | However, I remembered Hindenburg''s injunction:"Tell Cämmerer to be kind to him,"so what did I care for a mere captain? |
51206 | I said:"Not near, my boy? |
51206 | I shook him up with,"Why, what''s the matter that a French soldier makes such a face? |
51206 | I turned toward the child:"Who gave you that?" |
51206 | I was taking heavy risks, but what else could I do? |
51206 | I-- TRAGIC STORY OF A NIGHT FIGHT"We were creeping across the snow, when we hear a frightened''_ Wer kommt da?_''"''Hold on, Germans! |
51206 | I-- WHO IS THE BRAVEST MAN IN THE WAR? |
51206 | II-- HIS MAJESTY''S LAND SHIP--"WE ARE HERE""An''wot''s the next item o''the program, I wonder?" |
51206 | II-- WAS HE GOING TO BAYONET HER? |
51206 | In a tone of voice that left no chance for the familiar War- Office question:"Have you an appointment, sir?" |
51206 | Is it no?" |
51206 | Is the contempt that is hourly shown for life the real standard of life''s worth? |
51206 | It speaks well for an English watch, does n''t it? |
51206 | Just the same, I will never in my life forget his first words in Russian, as he asked us, by order of the officer:"Who are you-- brothers?" |
51206 | Man, is it no fine?" |
51206 | Maybe the day- shift''s having breakfast and not started yet?" |
51206 | Not a bad trick, was it, madame?" |
51206 | Not as easy as all that, but why? |
51206 | Not bad, wot?" |
51206 | Not one of them will escape, Moreau?" |
51206 | Our question to them was always the same,"Where are the Germans?" |
51206 | Shall I find a soul left?" |
51206 | Shall I send one on whose face are the imprints of all the Devil''s ten fingers? |
51206 | Shall he return to the camp? |
51206 | Should not this thought alone be sufficient to dry your tears and to fill you with unspeakable joy? |
51206 | Staff- Surgeon Sawdy came up to me, after Dr. Martin had procured me a lifebuoy, and said,"Shall I come with you, Padre?" |
51206 | Stain his hands, too, with the blood of these innocents? |
51206 | The following are some of the captain''s questions, and our answers:"Where were you men?" |
51206 | The surgeon approached then, and leaning over the now visible palpitating lung murmured:"What can be done? |
51206 | Then the Colonel asked:"Who will go to work?" |
51206 | Then the Colonel came and asked in Russian:"Why do n''t you want to work?" |
51206 | Then thou wilt be happy again, eh?" |
51206 | They asked,"How did the General die?" |
51206 | They do n''t move, or are they pretending?'' |
51206 | This general, instead, would say:"Are there two men who would like to come with me to- night and inspect the enemy''s barbed wire entanglements?" |
51206 | V--"THEY ARE ALL DEAD NOW"What have I seen?... |
51206 | VII--"THE CHILDREN WHO ARE MUTILATED"But they-- what are they doing with our little children? |
51206 | W''y do n''t they smash through?'' |
51206 | Was he going to kill her? |
51206 | Was it a sort of hint, one wonders, that"the pen is mightier than the sword"--that the soldier''s reign would be a brief one? |
51206 | Was it imagination? |
51206 | Was it still going so comfortably back in Petersburg( he stopped suddenly and substituted Petrograd) with those rascals of civilians and war cripples? |
51206 | We must rise above that too delicate conscience which says:"Speak? |
51206 | Wearied of my efforts at conversing in a foreign tongue, I went over and said:"Do you really speak English?" |
51206 | Well, have you any such''steed of God?''" |
51206 | Well, what was it to us? |
51206 | What are you doing here?" |
51206 | What could one answer? |
51206 | What did I see in this camp? |
51206 | What do the soldiers do, I wondered, when this is happening? |
51206 | What do you think? |
51206 | What good was my letter of introduction from the General''s dear nephew? |
51206 | What good will it do? |
51206 | What happened to your uniforms?" |
51206 | What was he going to do to her? |
51206 | What? |
51206 | When we had gone on a little way he said:--"Ai n''t it a proper beauty parlor? |
51206 | When will words be found simple enough and infinite enough to tell of so much heroism, so much sorrow, so much beauty, so much terror? |
51206 | When would they see those homes again? |
51206 | Where are you?'' |
51206 | Where the devil do they come from?'' |
51206 | Who is the bravest man that the war has produced? |
51206 | Who would have thought that they would consent to be commanded by a woman? |
51206 | Why did n''t I think of it before? |
51206 | Why did n''t the French take him away? |
51206 | Why did they not get O''Leary, who was running out alone ahead of his companions? |
51206 | Why had I come to Lötzen? |
51206 | Why is he allowed to run around without any guard in particular? |
51206 | Why should the six centuries of European history be destroyed because of the acts of a few patriots acting under the impulse of terror or indignation? |
51206 | Why should these individual deeds have been visited on thousands of innocent and inoffensive people? |
51206 | Why should those deeds have been visited on monuments of brick and stone? |
51206 | Why should treasuries of learning and shrines of religion be destroyed? |
51206 | Will those people over there shoot down their own subjects?" |
51206 | Will ye give us a hand with these straps, laddie?" |
51206 | Wo n''t you look me in the face and make me a nice smile?" |
51206 | Would I condescend to wait? |
51206 | Would I prefer to wait here or come in his office, where the stove was lit? |
51206 | Would it not be better to surrender?'' |

44263 | After the trumpeter had finished, the O.C., with a look of astonishment on his face, gasped,"What''s that? |

44263 | G. Harrap( 23rd London Regiment), 25 Renfrew Road, S.E._[ Illustration:"D''yer fink we wants ter be scalded ter death?"] |
44263 | Got a fag? |
44263 | Got the wind up?" |
44263 | Had n''t you better try and get to the dug- outs?" |
44263 | Had your rum?" |
44263 | Has he got away all right? |
44263 | He greeted our sergeant with the words,"Wot time does the dance start?" |
44263 | He looked down and said,"Hello, my lad, soon got tired of the dance, eh?" |
44263 | He passed the word back,"What''s the matter?" |
44263 | He stopped and asked me,"Is there a dressing station down there, mate?" |
44263 | He then dived gracefully and swam to a lifeboat.--_Bobbie George Bull( late Mercantile Marine), 40 Warren Road, Leyton, E.10._ Wot Abaht Wot? |
44263 | Hearing a splash and some cursing in a familiar voice, I called out,"Are you all right, Tubby?" |
44263 | Hearing the commotion, the Commandant put his head out of his bivouac and shouted,"What the dickens do you mean galloping through here?" |
44263 | Hi, wot yer done wiv it? |
44263 | Higson, Lancashire._"Compree''Sloshy''?" |
44263 | His Majesty at once noticed Tich was legless, and said in his kind way,"Well, my man, how are you getting on?" |
44263 | How long are you going to be?" |
44263 | How much? |
44263 | Hurt much? |
44263 | I held my breath as it passed the girls-- would they shoot them in passing? |
44263 | I rushed to him anxiously and said,"Are you hurt?" |
44263 | I said,"Hello, Jim, what''s the matter?" |
44263 | I said:"What have you lost, Tubby?" |
44263 | I turned anxiously to Nobby and asked,"What is it? |
44263 | I was feeling a bit gloomy myself, and Tom, seeing this, said:"What''s the matter with you, Jimmy?" |
44263 | I was feeling pretty bad with the swaying, and said to my companion,"Is n''t this the limit?" |
44263 | I''ll write all right,"said Reynolds, and then, suddenly,"''Ere, wot d''yer fink I am, a blinkin''acrobat? |
44263 | If he were asked,"Have you had frost- bite?" |
44263 | If the latter, why worry? |
44263 | If, however, he was asked,"Were you wounded?" |
44263 | In spite of his pal''s attempts to restrain him, he overtook the general, shouting"I did serlute yer, did n''t I, guv''nor?" |
44263 | Is this the way aht?" |
44263 | It is too much for one soul, and a Cockney voice calls out:"''Ere, wot price this fer Margate?" |
44263 | Just for something to say I called out to the chap in the next shell- hole-- a Brentford lad he was:"What d''you think of it, Alf?" |
44263 | Just outside that town he was met by the Adjutant, who said,"Hullo, driver, what''s happened-- where''s cook''s cart with the kits?" |
44263 | My pal, a Cockney, weighing about 18 stone, found it hard to keep up with the others, and the commander angrily asked him,"Where is your station?" |
44263 | No rest, no beer, blinkin''leave stopped-- er, got any fags? |
44263 | Officer''s inspection, any complaints?" |
44263 | Officer:"Any change to- night, corporal?" |
44263 | On seeing our weed- covered chum he stopped and said,"What''s the matter, Johnson? |
44263 | One of our men yelled,"Hi, Tich, carn''t yer read?" |
44263 | One of our troop addressed the rider thus:"Many up there, mate?" |
44263 | One of the platoon, not seeing the officer, thought the remark was a joke, so he replied,"Yes, why ai n''t the band playing?" |
44263 | Our captain was in a rage and shouted down from the bridge to the officer of the watch,"Is there anyone on board who can speak German?" |
44263 | Peering into the blackness, I called out,"Where are you?" |
44263 | Picquet officer( appearing from a corner of the trench):"What''s the meaning of all these feathers, Brown?" |
44263 | Presently there was a lull, and the American officer was heard to ask,"Say, boys, where is the front line in these parts?" |
44263 | Rank, name, and regimental number were given, and then the orderly asked,"Which division are you from?" |
44263 | Returning to the game, I said to my chum,"Whose move, Joe?" |
44263 | See that? |
44263 | Seen Nobby Clark? |
44263 | Shall I see if I can get him for you?" |
44263 | Sister returned( she was the right stuff) and said:"Hello, what''s happened here? |
44263 | So I just_ wo n''t_ die, to spite yer, see?" |
44263 | Springing smartly to attention, and with a pained look upon his face, old Billy replied:"This''ere, sir? |
44263 | Stores:"You all right, Bill?" |
44263 | Suddenly he stopped, lifted his uninjured arm at the Germans and shouted,"Blimey, wot yer all firing at me for? |
44263 | Ted-- wot d''ye reckon they done it wiv? |
44263 | Tell the colonel, what was it?" |
44263 | Ten minutes later came the same voice:"Is Sergeant Fossell down there?" |
44263 | The C.Q.M.S., not knowing the extent of Brown''s injury, inquired,"What''s the trouble, Brown?" |
44263 | The Tommy replied:"Wot''s the good of making that leg strite w''en the uvver one''s bowed?" |
44263 | The company officer was inclined to be cross with him, and asked him,"But what made you go so far as the enemy position?" |
44263 | The first time I went to see him, he said,"What do you think of it? |
44263 | The jolting of the cart apparently jerked a little life into him, for he asked me,"Got a fag, mate?" |
44263 | The officer said:"Where did you find them?" |
44263 | The officer, becoming annoyed at the delay, sent back the message:"Who''s the fool who lost his gumboot?" |
44263 | The usual form of inquiry was:"Hullo---- what have you got?" |
44263 | Then the padre asked the wheel driver in a very small voice,"My man, can I do anything to assist you?" |
44263 | There came from the line a sergeant, who shouted,"Why do n''t you lads duck?" |
44263 | To the Greek he said,"Hi,''oo the dickens d''you fink you are-- the Lord Mayor? |
44263 | To which a Cockney voice replied,"Blimey, sergeant, where''s the landing stage?" |
44263 | Tommy:"Sitting room inside, mate?" |
44263 | Upon reaching a hatchway leading down to the stokers''mess deck, he called down:"Is there any water coming in down there?" |
44263 | Voice from passing infantryman, in the unmistakable accent of Bow Bells:"Where y''goin'', mate? |
44263 | W''y do orficers lose their third button?" |
44263 | W. Owen( late Corporal, Desert Corps), 9 Keith Road, Walthamstow, E.17._"Parti? |
44263 | Waiting a few minutes, the corporal again passed a message back:"Have n''t you got him out yet? |
44263 | Walters( late Cpl., Royal Fusiliers), 20 Church Street, Woolwich, S.E.18._ When In Greece...? |
44263 | Was the bomb going to burst in the gun and blow us all to bits? |
44263 | We got him out and he stood on dry(?) |
44263 | We shouted down to him,"Where are we, mate?" |
44263 | We were naturally anxious to know what it was like"up there,"and the following conversation took place in passing:"What''s it like, mate?" |
44263 | What have we got?" |
44263 | What next?" |
44263 | What was to be done? |
44263 | What would you do? |
44263 | What''s happened?" |
44263 | When I asked if I could do anything for him, he said:"Are there many hurt?" |
44263 | When he arrived abreast of us he shouted in very good English:"It''s a long way to Tipperary, boys, is n''t it?" |
44263 | When he saw me he called out above the row going on:"I''opes yer do n''t mind me''aving come to the garden party wivout an invertition, sir?" |
44263 | When the bearers came to his stretcher, one said to the other,"What''s it say on his ticket?" |
44263 | When they reached us one of our young officers shouted out:"Are you looking for the hounds?" |
44263 | Where is it? |
44263 | Where the''ell are yer goin''wiv that gun? |
44263 | Where''s the girl in the tights wot rides the''orses?" |
44263 | Wherever''ave yer bin, me old brown son? |
44263 | While we were endeavouring to find the meat at the bottom of the spoilt water we heard a voice say:"Any complaints?" |
44263 | Whilst I was thus engaged he said to me in a weak voice, but with a smile on his face:"How much did yer say it would corst to take them tattoos orf?" |
44263 | Who''s coming with me?" |
44263 | Why ai n''t yer singin''''Let the Great Big World Keep Turnin'',''eh?" |
44263 | Why not, my good man? |
44263 | Why? |
44263 | With a feeble smile he said,"Blimey, sir, this''as been a short week- end, ai n''t it?" |
44263 | With a weary sigh, as if a great truth had dawned upon him, he said pathetically:"Lumme, that do bring the war''ome to a bloke, do n''t it, miss?" |

44263 | Would he be spotted by snipers? |
44263 | Would he have to lie out in No Man''s Land all day? |
44263 | You can imagine what a comical sight it was, but the climax came when he was challenged by the corporal,"Where the devil have you been?" |

44263 | as he returned to his bully beef.--_Lady Lawford, London, S.W.1._"In Time for the Workman''s?" |
44263 | asked,"How are things going this morning?" |
44263 | broke in the corporal,"you with yer fawncy tyles of Inja? |
44263 | gasped a little Cockney platoon chum squatting beside me,"did yer see that lot? |
44263 | he exclaimed,"did yer_ work_ once, Corp?" |

44263 | j''ear that? |
44263 | said Ginger,"so yer speak English, do yer?" |
44263 | there, drifterofsky, do yer savvy?" |
44263 | who goes there?" |
44263 | yer speak our lingo?" |
34985 | And I, what am I to do? |
34985 | And in my room? |
34985 | And the girl I am engaged to, will she marry me? |
34985 | And then, look behind that stack-- two, three, five dark forms... they are people, are n''t they? |
34985 | And up there? |
34985 | Are we to run away, then, and wander about like the Belgians? 34985 Are you aware that the Germans are unwilling invaders? |
34985 | But at what did they fire? |
34985 | But how long are we going to stay here? |
34985 | But tell us, dear cousin, who are all these people we see gathered in your domain? |
34985 | But who will drive Mouton? |
34985 | But why am I arrested? |
34985 | But why should the Germans take charge of us? 34985 Do n''t you know that everything belongs to the Germans? |
34985 | Do n''t you think we might nurse a few wounded soldiers in our house? |
34985 | Do you know that deserters are said to have escaped near Morny? |
34985 | Do you know that the Germans took three hundred prisoners yesterday? |
34985 | Do you think I will fly before the Prussians again? 34985 Do you think we shall have them here?" |
34985 | Do you think,the women of the village whispered,"that they are going to take you to France? |
34985 | Do you want anything? |
34985 | Grandmother, what is the matter? |
34985 | Has your house been carefully searched? |
34985 | Have you seen,he would say,"have you seen our splendid Imperial Guard? |
34985 | Have yours decent manners? |
34985 | How much have you? |
34985 | I had forgotten this; I am not in the habit....What did I say? |
34985 | If we are invaded, what shall we do? |
34985 | In the garden with Colette, digging holes...."Is he? 34985 Is my window all right?" |
34985 | Is that what you want, sir? |
34985 | Is the old Rouen jug buried? 34985 Is your piano dumb?" |
34985 | Lieutenant Bubenpech? |
34985 | Madam, madam, have you heard any news? 34985 No Prussian is to be seen? |
34985 | No papers, no letters? |
34985 | No? 34985 People, animals, or things?" |
34985 | That piano which the_ garde- voies_ had? 34985 The Route des Dames... you know?... |
34985 | The young ladies who lately were arrested at the level- crossing live here, do n''t they? |
34985 | This black mass here, lying on the wayside, is it a dead body? 34985 To lend us your kitchen and your dining- room? |
34985 | Up there? 34985 Was it? |
34985 | We are retreating? 34985 What are we to do if the hens lay no eggs?" |
34985 | What do they want? 34985 What do you advise us to do?" |
34985 | What does this unexpected halt mean? |
34985 | What has happened? 34985 What if we placed our ears to the ground?" |
34985 | What is it? |
34985 | What is that? |
34985 | What is the cannon,I asked,"which thunders day and night in the south?" |
34985 | What is the matter? |
34985 | What shall I do now? |
34985 | What were we going to do? |
34985 | What will Barbu say,we wondered,"if, when he holds out his large paws, we put our hands behind our backs? |
34985 | What? |
34985 | When you reach France you will tell the French you have been leniently dealt with, wo n''t you? |
34985 | Where are the Germans? |
34985 | Where do they come from? 34985 Who will go?" |
34985 | Whom will they harm to- day? |
34985 | Will there be any room for us,we wondered,"no matter where, so long as we can rest?" |
34985 | Will these do? |
34985 | Will they come here? 34985 Will they go by without worrying us?" |
34985 | Will you put a smiling face at the window? |
34985 | You get a lot of bread, do n''t you? |
34985 | You get good soup, do n''t you? |
34985 | You will come later on, wo n''t you, madam? |
34985 | Yvonne understood,''Do you speak English?'' 34985 A moment after a murmur was heard:What does it mean?" |
34985 | An army always goes along valleys, does it not? |
34985 | And do n''t you know that the potatoes belong to the Germans? |
34985 | And my daughter, aged fourteen years? |
34985 | And my yellow tea- set? |
34985 | And our departure? |
34985 | And suppose the old maiden lady had shouldered the ancient gun? |
34985 | And tea? |
34985 | And the many cushions necessary to uphold his person? |
34985 | And then you ask yourself: How long? |
34985 | And then:"May I take a photograph of your house?" |
34985 | And there, those white spots, are n''t they faces? |
34985 | And what could we answer to the poor fellows? |
34985 | And what do we see of war? |
34985 | And what will you look like? |
34985 | And what work to do? |
34985 | And what would the enemy do in this uneven region, where orchards and pasture grounds alternate with rocks and woods? |
34985 | And with the gold pieces my mother- in- law had brought from Paris, had I not made a band I wore around my waist? |
34985 | And you might as well have dined at the village inn? |
34985 | Are the nice afternoon- naps already forgotten? |
34985 | Are there maledictions of sufficient vehemence to penetrate the carapace in which you have wrapped up your understanding? |
34985 | Are we to suppose he thought he would thus acquire a few niceties of speech of which he was ignorant? |
34985 | Are you not conscious of the void, which draws on the enemy like a cupping- glass? |
34985 | Are you pleased, O moon? |
34985 | As I did n''t go-- I had money, too, in my bundle-- they forced me to go; they all flocked around me, they were twelve, and... how am I to say it?..." |
34985 | As to requisitions, they were always going on, and the farmers never got up at dawn without thinking:"What are they going to steal to- day?" |
34985 | Besides, is it not a good deed to help in exhausting their provisions?" |
34985 | But afterwards? |
34985 | But can any sight you have ever witnessed be compared with that which you look down upon to- day? |
34985 | But do n''t you think it is just like ours?" |
34985 | But how? |
34985 | But now to whom would the inheritance come? |
34985 | But one day I suppose the intruders caught sight of a golden head in flight, and Barbu asked me:"There are young girls in the house?" |
34985 | But suppose that just the reverse happened? |
34985 | But tell me in earnest, Posy, do you think there will be a war?" |
34985 | But to what purpose should we attempt what would certainly bring new harsh measures upon our neighbours? |
34985 | But was the trap shut tight? |
34985 | But what did it matter? |
34985 | But what did we hear? |
34985 | But what matters the want of good looks? |
34985 | But what of those who dwelt in attics through which the wind was blowing just as it did outside, or in cellars where they sat in a perpetual draught? |
34985 | But when?" |
34985 | Can anything be sadder than this? |
34985 | Can you doubt? |
34985 | Could we feel glad at it? |
34985 | Could we go on foot? |
34985 | Could we not appeal to him as a last shift? |
34985 | Could we shout it loud enough? |
34985 | Dear little house, white walls, virginia creepers, when shall we meet again? |
34985 | Did any one betray the runaway''s retreat? |
34985 | Did the Germans not feed us? |
34985 | Did they look for treasure? |
34985 | Did you call a private soldier such names as he had deserved a hundred times? |
34985 | Do n''t you hear a noise of steps? |
34985 | Do n''t you know that stealing is forbidden? |
34985 | Do our prisoners not feast upon it in Germany? |
34985 | Do you hear, Barbu? |
34985 | Do you know that no troops in the world are to be compared with them?" |
34985 | Do you think I should care about it?" |
34985 | Do you think tea a native of the department of the Aisne? |
34985 | Does it not come from our bonded warehouses and stores? |
34985 | English? |
34985 | Every family had one or several of its members away at the front, and we asked over and over again, are they dead, wounded, ill? |
34985 | For instance, do you suppose we had given up having tea in the afternoon? |
34985 | For what purpose had they torn up these precious pictures? |
34985 | For who would have believed it? |
34985 | For whose sake? |
34985 | Frightened not to see us back? |
34985 | Had I any kinsman in the war? |
34985 | Had I not early in the morning buried in the depths of the garden a sealed- up glass jar full of jewels? |
34985 | Had the progress of the haughty boors been stayed? |
34985 | Had the radiant morning really begotten this sad noon? |
34985 | Had you kept back any goods from the perquisitioners? |
34985 | Has God suffered this? |
34985 | Have I not hinted, in a former chapter, that Attila may have sent a reconnoitring party down here? |
34985 | Have they...? |
34985 | Have you not just seen our army pass? |
34985 | Have you noticed the gait of our soldiers? |
34985 | Have you received your death- wound, outnumbered in some lonely corner? |
34985 | Have you run him in?" |
34985 | He was courteous, and seemed inclined to let us go, when he was struck by a sudden idea:"''Are you English?'' |
34985 | He went to have his pass signed; the sergeant held out his hand to take the paper and said:''Well, comrade?'' |
34985 | How am I to help it? |
34985 | How am I to help it? |
34985 | How can the wind make such a noise through the branches? |
34985 | How far should we go now? |
34985 | How long should we have to groan and struggle in that all- devouring water? |
34985 | How many of those who had fled from the invasion had renounced the pleasures of home for months or even years? |
34985 | How many of us had, the night before, observed the signals that came from Laon or glittered in the"mountains"? |
34985 | How shall we depict the fate of thousands of soldiers ordered back home on the eve of the invasion? |
34985 | I suppose she noticed our admiring gaze, for she said all of a sudden:"Would you like to have some?" |
34985 | If impotent anger often moved the women into tears, what shall we say of the men? |
34985 | If the Germans were driven back, the front would also remove farther? |
34985 | If we were uneasy and disquieted, where could we better calm our fears than in Laon? |
34985 | In one of the rooms of the farm he asked:"You are comfortable here, are n''t you?" |
34985 | In the village, so lively, so busy but a few days ago, is there a single uniform left? |
34985 | In this terrible moment, our eager goodwill could do no more than ask:"Do you want a cup of coffee? |
34985 | Is Barbu''s love of creature comforts still remembered? |
34985 | Is any one coming in? |
34985 | Is it not already famous in both continents? |
34985 | Is it not stolen goods? |
34985 | Is n''t it a shame? |
34985 | Is that far enough?" |
34985 | Is the French army advancing?" |
34985 | Is the bell ringing? |
34985 | Is there a knock at the door? |
34985 | Is there any cry that might pierce your dull conscience? |
34985 | It means, does n''t it, to run into jeopardy, to seek after perilous missions? |
34985 | Lantois ran up breathless:"Do you know that the lieutenant just said that_ everybody_ must go to the market- place? |
34985 | Lantois, half- sour, half- sweet, asked her lieutenant:"Well, you had some fun last night?" |
34985 | Laroye alone? |
34985 | Laroye friends or relations to entertain? |
34985 | Look if it is like us?" |
34985 | Many emigrants were crying:"Where are we going to? |
34985 | Oh, my Posy, my treasure, my love, my pride, have you not asked for a dangerous mission? |
34985 | One morning the officer asked:"Why does M. Villars not come himself?" |
34985 | Or might it not rather come from too many merry parties? |
34985 | Or shall we take a ticket to Marseilles, Algiers, or Timbuktu? |
34985 | Our very prayers seemed to rise to an unrelenting God, and we could but murmur:"Father, Father, why hast Thou forsaken us?" |
34985 | Posy, are you in the Vosges? |
34985 | Powder is as necessary to women as to soldiers, is n''t it? |
34985 | Really now, he had a castle... in the air?... |
34985 | Really, now, who would make up such an adjective? |
34985 | Shall I describe this mixture? |
34985 | Shall I go and study music in Paris when the Prussians are still here? |
34985 | Shall we be allowed to see them again here below? |
34985 | Shall we get news to- day? |
34985 | She discovered in her soup- plate... she discovered... how can I tell? |
34985 | Suppose we put on our slippers? |
34985 | The Place? |
34985 | The day after our arrival, we managed to ask an officer:"What is the matter? |
34985 | The other ladies will not either? |
34985 | The others repeated with one accord:"And if mother was taken as a hostage? |
34985 | The poor boy had gone beyond the frontier of the commune with his cattle:"What am I to do?" |
34985 | The very first day he had given a sample of his talents by asking a youth:"Hé... vous... combien hannées vous havoir?" |
34985 | The_ dramatis personae_? |
34985 | Then catching sight of the roof whose shadow served as a screen to our bedding:"What is up there, then?" |
34985 | Then he turned round to me:"Have you any beans?" |
34985 | Then there was the problem to solve, where to hide them? |
34985 | There will be a war? |
34985 | To Germany or to the trenches? |
34985 | To be unable to fight for your countrymen, or to have no share in the robbery? |
34985 | To what purpose? |
34985 | To- night? |
34985 | Twenty grammes of bacon daily, a dish of rice on Sunday, a dish of beans on Thursday, eatable bread; what would you ask more? |
34985 | Valaine,"said he,"what do you make of this? |
34985 | Was it a signal? |
34985 | Was it a singing in our ears or was it cannon- shots? |
34985 | Was it a way to convert their paper money into something safer? |
34985 | Was it due to home- sickness and to a longing for sauerkraut and sausages? |
34985 | Was it oil, or syrup? |
34985 | Was it possible that we were going away? |
34985 | Was it possible to go to Paris? |
34985 | Was it to the east, the north, or the south? |
34985 | Was it true? |
34985 | Was it true? |
34985 | Was it"for their great courage and their huge size"? |
34985 | Was there a battle? |
34985 | Was there no means of encouraging us? |
34985 | We could not bury water- colours or oil- paintings, could we? |
34985 | We did not give credit to it, but what would happen if the men reposed no trust in their chiefs? |
34985 | We had decided to go, that was well and good; but how should we go? |
34985 | We never saw two soldiers walking together in the street without thinking:"Where are they going? |
34985 | We would fly, but whither, in this train of sluggard things? |
34985 | Well, what were we to do? |
34985 | Were the Germans really at our gates? |
34985 | Were the Germans still gaining ground? |
34985 | Were the Germans to settle in the country? |
34985 | Were we actually prisoners? |
34985 | Were we approaching the Swiss frontier? |
34985 | Were you penniless when liable to a fine? |
34985 | Were you unwilling to comply with the requisitioners''orders? |
34985 | What are we doing here?" |
34985 | What could we do against the cannon, which peppered us from the top of the hill? |
34985 | What could we say of that captain who, in Jouville, used to be wheeled home in a barrow by his servants? |
34985 | What do they want?" |
34985 | What does your shade regret, O famous plunderer? |
34985 | What family has not one or several members at the front? |
34985 | What had happened? |
34985 | What is going on?" |
34985 | What ought we to do?" |
34985 | What ought we to do?" |
34985 | What sacrifices could we make to match what they gave us: their strength, their life, their youth? |
34985 | What shall I do at my age if they come here now?" |
34985 | What shelter should we get? |
34985 | What should I prescribe her? |
34985 | What was going on? |
34985 | What was going to happen? |
34985 | What was the meaning of this visit? |
34985 | What whim will they take into their heads to- night?" |
34985 | What will become of me? |
34985 | What will become of us? |
34985 | What will become of us?" |
34985 | What would become of us? |
34985 | What, indeed, can you do at home but dream if you are a hare, and sew if you are a woman? |
34985 | What, then, prevents a thoroughly good understanding?" |
34985 | When and how were we to go? |
34985 | When are we going?" |
34985 | When shall we know whether they are dead or alive, whether strong and healthy or moaning upon a bed in hospital? |
34985 | When shall we see a newspaper again?" |
34985 | When the invaders alarmed strong and courageous men, I, who am not a thunderbolt of war, how could I put a good face on the matter? |
34985 | When would they do the same in Morny? |
34985 | Where are the beloved ones? |
34985 | Where are the beloved ones? |
34985 | Where are they? |
34985 | Where should we have slept? |
34985 | Where should we lay our tired heads? |
34985 | Where were we going to? |
34985 | Where, I beg of you, could you conceal four sacks of wheat in an honest house? |
34985 | Whither could we turn? |
34985 | Whither shall we be taken?" |
34985 | Who indeed had invented this fantastic order? |
34985 | Who invented or transformed the news? |
34985 | Who is it? |
34985 | Who is it? |
34985 | Who knew how many miles we were to walk? |
34985 | Who knows? |
34985 | Who shall describe the horror of the dreams dreamed during the war? |
34985 | Who talked of dearth? |
34985 | Who will eat them? |
34985 | Who will ever pierce the mysteries of a German brain? |
34985 | Who wished it? |
34985 | Why not on politics? |
34985 | Why should we go on feeding so many useless people? |
34985 | Why? |
34985 | Why? |
34985 | Why? |
34985 | Will he fasten us to the stirrups of his horse and drag us to Laon all six in a line? |
34985 | Will he send us to prison, and put us on bread and water? |
34985 | Will they come here? |
34985 | With naked feet and nothing but a nightgown on, how should we have been able to stand up against this booted, armed giant if he had broken in? |
34985 | Without more ado we went in, and asked the usual questions:"Where are the Germans? |
34985 | Work? |
34985 | Would n''t it? |
34985 | Would they sweep onward, like a cloud of insects, towards Paris, whose splendour and renown dazzled and attracted them invincibly? |
34985 | Would they take it amiss? |
34985 | Would you kindly take one of our parcels with you?" |
34985 | Yet could we pity them? |
34985 | You are expecting another''70?" |
34985 | You are sure the lady is unable to travel?" |
34985 | You knew an Englishman was hidden in it? |
34985 | You laugh? |
34985 | You were not aware of this? |
34985 | and then?" |
34985 | black, apocalyptical, it passed by, and greeted us without astonishment:"Good- night, ladies; a beautiful night, is n''t it?" |
34985 | he said,"what do I care for it? |
34985 | how long? |
34985 | is it possible? |
34985 | or will he give some such order as this to the commandant of the village:''Should an opportunity come, billet fifty men on these people''?" |
34985 | the angry peasant cried out;"am I going to pay 1500 francs because two dozen birds have alighted on my house?" |
34985 | the mother moaned;"am I going to abandon them like that? |
34985 | then she had married a German?" |
34985 | they are coming here, are n''t they? |
34985 | we moaned,"is there no means of escape from this hell?" |
34985 | what do they want?" |
34985 | what is happening?" |
34985 | who is it? |
34985 | you deign to notice it? |
58231 | A civilian? |
58231 | A good idea, but would you mind-- though we do n''t insist on this-- frying a pailful of them? |
58231 | And suppose the lieutenant comes along.... And what if the Germans attack? |
58231 | And what if I am killed? |
58231 | And what of Verrier? 58231 And what of you here, has much damage been caused?" |
58231 | And where is the 24th? |
58231 | And you think it will reach its destination? |
58231 | And you, the other day when preparing mess, did n''t you go away and leave me to carry a huge pail all alone? 58231 And your other friends?" |
58231 | Anything fresh here? |
58231 | Are n''t you two going to hold your tongues? |
58231 | Are the letters for Achains''ready? |
58231 | Are you not coming too? |
58231 | Are you on the watch? |
58231 | Are you wounded? |
58231 | Boys,says Reymond,"since we are not going to die immediately, suppose we break into my best_ pâté de foie gras_?" |
58231 | Can it be you, dear old fellow? |
58231 | Do n''t you recognize me? |
58231 | Do n''t you see that your artillery is gone? 58231 Do the savages want to demolish our house?" |
58231 | Do you belong to Class 4? |
58231 | Do you mean to say you''re writing? 58231 Do you think the lieutenant will give me the lock- up for this?" |
58231 | Do you think there will be anything of importance happening to- day? |
58231 | Do you want me to come and fetch you? |
58231 | Does n''t war provide you with sufficient opportunities to satisfy your bloodthirsty instincts? 58231 Eh?" |
58231 | Have you come here for me to give you a lesson in geography? 58231 Have you eaten your two tins of corned beef?" |
58231 | Have you room for me here? |
58231 | He is surely not dead? |
58231 | How will my squadron manage for meals now? |
58231 | I say, Belin, this is a real outpost, is it not? |
58231 | I say, old man, just go and tell my wife... or my mother... or my sister, will you? 58231 I suppose you have had nothing to eat?" |
58231 | In case of attack, what becomes of the outposts? |
58231 | Indeed? 58231 Is that all? |
58231 | Is that all? |
58231 | Is the bombardment pretty violent? |
58231 | Is the house demolished? |
58231 | Is there a bed for him? |
58231 | Is there any one here named Verrier? |
58231 | Is this the 23rd? |
58231 | Just a little iodine on it? |
58231 | Look here, Charensac, would you like this? |
58231 | Only your elbow? 58231 Shall we tell the others?" |
58231 | So it''s decided that you are to go? |
58231 | Suppose we go and see how they are getting along in the cellar? |
58231 | Suppose we try to find the post- office? |
58231 | Suppose we write an article for the_ Figaro_? |
58231 | That''s what they say at the depot, is it? 58231 The 352nd, 27th company? |
58231 | The war, old fellow? 58231 There is no more room here, I suppose?" |
58231 | They say,remarks some one,"that the Germans scamper off as soon as they see the French?" |
58231 | Things are serious this morning, eh? |
58231 | We are winning, are we not? |
58231 | Well, and what of yourself? 58231 Well?" |
58231 | What am I to do with you? |
58231 | What are you all doing here? |
58231 | What are you doing here? 58231 What are you writing?" |
58231 | What if I am caught by the gendarmes? 58231 What is it?" |
58231 | What of the 24th? |
58231 | What''s the matter with you, Ramel? |
58231 | What''s the matter with you, little stupid? |
58231 | What''s the matter with you? |
58231 | What''s this?... 58231 When do shells fall in too great numbers for an outpost?" |
58231 | Where are the letters? |
58231 | Where are we going, sergeant? |
58231 | Where are you going? |
58231 | Where? |
58231 | Which company? |
58231 | Who is dead over there? |
58231 | Who was it shouted,''Look out!''? |
58231 | Who''s old Ubu? |
58231 | Why did n''t you stick your bayonet into the fool of a German? |
58231 | You agree? |
58231 | You do n''t know? 58231 You''re not wounded?" |
58231 | Your biscuits too, naturally? |
58231 | _ Ah, là là!_ Could they not have removed their own filth themselves? |
58231 | Above all, why do they come empty- handed? |
58231 | Accosting our lieutenant, he asks--"Where are you going?" |
58231 | And Belin? |
58231 | And that, just at the time we expect our letters? |
58231 | And what of ourselves? |
58231 | And why did you eat your tins of corned beef?" |
58231 | And why does the soldier insist on being long- haired? |
58231 | And you think it will be a joke for us to carry you away dead, a giant like you?" |
58231 | Are we beaten?" |
58231 | Are we really at war, at the front, with the enemy less than a mile away? |
58231 | Are we the enemy''s target? |
58231 | Are we the same persons who, only the day before yesterday, were wallowing in the trench between two walls of mud? |
58231 | Are we to attack again? |
58231 | Are we to attack shortly? |
58231 | Are we to spend the whole day basking in the sun? |
58231 | Are you going away on an empty stomach?" |
58231 | As each man awaits his turn he questions the attendants--"Is the major in good humour this morning?" |
58231 | As he rides past we ask--"Well, good news?" |
58231 | Besides, what do you want here, lounging about the door? |
58231 | But did he mention where the distribution was to take place?" |
58231 | But how is it that they are armed and equipped? |
58231 | But what can we do in the matter?" |
58231 | Can not one talk in war- time?" |
58231 | Curious to gather their impressions, I crawl up to them and slyly ask--"Well, raw ones, what do you think of the stew?" |
58231 | Did n''t I say:''Two''?" |
58231 | Did n''t you go to the_ Ecole Normale_ as a boy?" |
58231 | Did you, or did you not?" |
58231 | Do you fix your bayonet when on sentry duty in the trench? |
58231 | Do you know me?" |
58231 | Every ten minutes the poor fellow draws aside the screen and asks--"Are n''t you going to relieve me soon? |
58231 | Evidently he is unnerved, for he answers--"What the deuce do you expect me to do with that? |
58231 | Evidently the poor fellow has not begun to suffer yet, for he remarks blusteringly--"This is n''t the time to ogle the ladies, is it?" |
58231 | Finally he remarks--"You will leave me free to go out whenever I want, wo n''t you? |
58231 | Has some one to come and take you by the hand?" |
58231 | Has there really been an attack? |
58231 | Have you enough room to stretch yourself?" |
58231 | Having met at the depot we recognize one another, and ask--"Are the enemy retreating?" |
58231 | He asks--"My dear fellow, what do you do in ordinary times?" |
58231 | He comes right up to us, and we question him--"Is it a bad wound?" |
58231 | He paints two white letters every day, and even then...._ Friday, 21st August._ When is the contingent complement to leave? |
58231 | He says to me--"When peace is proclaimed, wo n''t you take me back with you?" |
58231 | He walks sturdily along, and calls out to us--"Do n''t I look pretty?" |
58231 | Heart- broken to see me ill, he shouts confidentially into my ear--"What''s the use of fretting, old fellow?" |
58231 | How are you, my young friends?" |
58231 | How can the officers find their way in the dark? |
58231 | How do you expect us to sleep with all this squeaking overhead?" |
58231 | I am inquisitive enough to ask--"Does it hurt?" |
58231 | I request permission to return to the depot; since I have no broken limbs, why should I stay on at the hospital? |
58231 | I suppose you think this very droll?" |
58231 | If the Germans have beaten us, why do they not follow up their advantage? |
58231 | In point of fact, where are we going? |
58231 | In reply to our questions, he says--"You ask if we have got them? |
58231 | In the stone bedroom the men are very kind and attentive to one another--"I hope I''m not in your way, old fellow? |
58231 | Ironical exclamations--"What''s that filth? |
58231 | Is Bucy to become a society rendez- vous? |
58231 | Is any one tired belonging to the 24th?" |
58231 | Is he alive?" |
58231 | Is it because the ancient Gauls were long- haired? |
58231 | Is it in this light that history will depict us? |
58231 | Is it over? |
58231 | Is n''t it enough?" |
58231 | Is that the way an enemy patrol goes to work?" |
58231 | Is the train being attacked, in the way we read about in a schoolboy''s romance? |
58231 | Is there drink to be had at Humes?" |
58231 | Is there no placard containing our number? |
58231 | Is this the last réveillé in the loft? |
58231 | Is this to be a hand- to- hand encounter? |
58231 | It is the turn of his other neighbour to ask--"Shall I dress it for you?" |
58231 | It''s you, is it? |
58231 | It''s you, is it? |
58231 | It''s you, is it?" |
58231 | Look at these_ messieurs_, are they frightened?" |
58231 | May I come in?" |
58231 | Most improbable; how are we to believe such a thing? |
58231 | My comrades hold their sides with laughter, Jules chuckles with pride and vanity as he asks--"Next one?" |
58231 | No sooner do I see him than I ask--"Where are my comrades?" |
58231 | On coming to relieve us, the two following sentries, after muffling themselves up by lantern light, ask--"A pretty heavy bombardment just now, eh?" |
58231 | On the threshold I have to answer the invariable question:"No one missing?" |
58231 | One of them, his shoulder and arm all twisted up, asks--"Are you reservists?" |
58231 | One old dame asks anxiously--"At all events, you''ll not let them come back here?" |
58231 | Or are we to attack? |
58231 | Or suppose I meet the colonel?" |
58231 | Or will he be clever enough to make up a tale of heroism which will win him an iron cross? |
58231 | Running up to him, I call out--"Wounded?" |
58231 | Shall I dress it for you?" |
58231 | Shall we attack this evening or to- morrow? |
58231 | Shall we be attacked? |
58231 | Shall we be relieved to- night? |
58231 | Shall we ever see Verrier again? |
58231 | She looks at haversacks, rifles, and_ musettes_, and asks in drawling accents--"Do you really carry all these things on your back?" |
58231 | So you are one of the complement?" |
58231 | Some one asks--"Why is the battery going away? |
58231 | Some such remark as the following is heard--"You''re not going to keep it all to yourself, as you did last time, I suppose?" |
58231 | Speedily comes fresh cause for anxiety--"Where''s my coffee? |
58231 | Startled, I burst out--"You''re not going to tell the first squadron who old Ubu was?" |
58231 | Tell me if my parcel has arrived?" |
58231 | The Germans at Compiègne?... |
58231 | The day sergeant passes through the trenches and calls out--"Any one ill to- day?" |
58231 | The death sweat streams down his face, as he says hoarsely--"You''re not going to leave me here, are you? |
58231 | The doctor accordingly asks--"Which stomach? |
58231 | The lieutenant sends for me--"Guess who''s here?" |
58231 | The lieutenant was right.... You have your dozen biscuits and two tins, at all events?" |
58231 | The mistress, an optimist, declares in her country accent--"Shall I tell you what I think?" |
58231 | The one that eats or the one that breathes?" |
58231 | Their first words are--"Have you any tobacco? |
58231 | Then come the questions--"Is there a letter for me? |
58231 | Then you can not even tolerate ordinary politeness in a man?" |
58231 | Then, do you know what the cur did? |
58231 | They ask--"Is it far to Villers- Cotterets?" |
58231 | They even add--"Are you running away?" |
58231 | They shouted out--"Have n''t you nearly finished up in the loft? |
58231 | Unless.... For, after all, what is an order? |
58231 | We ask him--"Where are the others?" |
58231 | We raise our heads; is it he? |
58231 | We try to keep out the cold with mufflers, gloves,_ passe- montagne_; but-- how are we to warm our poor feet? |
58231 | Well, and what are they themselves, after all? |
58231 | What am I doing here all alone in the middle of the night, and half undressed? |
58231 | What are we to do? |
58231 | What are you complaining of when you''ll soon be on your way to see her again?" |
58231 | What can be the matter? |
58231 | What can be the matter? |
58231 | What is going to happen? |
58231 | What is the direction we are to take? |
58231 | What is the reason of this aversion for the clipper? |
58231 | What is there for us to do? |
58231 | What kind of special wire is it that connects a kitchen with headquarters? |
58231 | What of my rabbit? |
58231 | What of the attack? |
58231 | What sort of a story will Fritz have to tell on returning to his own lines without his rifle? |
58231 | What time is it? |
58231 | What was the matter?" |
58231 | What will they attempt now? |
58231 | What''s that thou say''st? |
58231 | What''s the matter?" |
58231 | What''s your other name?" |
58231 | When the moment comes, shall we feel ourselves carried away in a whirl of excitement, as civilians do? |
58231 | When will this life in depots and barracks come to an end? |
58231 | Where am I? |
58231 | Where are my comrades? |
58231 | Where are the Germans? |
58231 | Where are we going? |
58231 | Where are we? |
58231 | Where are you going?" |
58231 | Where does it come from? |
58231 | Where is he going, and what is taking place? |
58231 | Where is that?" |
58231 | Where is the 352nd? |
58231 | Where is the enemy? |
58231 | Where''s lunch?" |
58231 | Which direction are we to take? |
58231 | Who is the first for the hand- basin? |
58231 | Who is the man who uttered that shriek of distress? |
58231 | Why do you make me lose my time?" |
58231 | Why does a bombardment begin? |
58231 | Why does it stop? |
58231 | Why is no one either killed or wounded? |
58231 | Why is this? |
58231 | Why should you go and kill tiny birds like these?" |
58231 | Will he be kicked unmercifully? |
58231 | Will you come?" |
58231 | With a despairing gesture, he asks--"You call this a muster, do you?" |
58231 | Would you like to begin with a couple of sardines?" |
58231 | You understand?" |
58231 | _ Monday, 14th September._ When shall we see white bed- sheets again? |
58231 | do you want them to use us as a target?" |
58231 | my poor men, I wonder if I shall ever see you again?" |
58231 | were you not killed?" |
58231 | where are the cannon?" |
58231 | yes, where are they? |
31087 | Are you_ Union_ soldiers? |
31087 | Echo answers where? |
31087 | Stonewall Jackson? 31087 Under which King, Benzonian?" |
31087 | What authority had he for this? |
31087 | What is Randolph? |
31087 | Where is McClellan, general? |
31087 | Will not the Confederate soldiers now in Pennsylvania remember such acts of cruelty and barbarism? 31087 Will they come, when he does call for them?" |
31087 | A few more weeks, at that rate, will consume his army, and then-- peace? |
31087 | A moment after, Gen. Walker, of Georgia, came in, and addressed the colonel thus:"Is the Secretary in?" |
31087 | A safe prediction-- but what is his belief? |
31087 | A. Seddon, Secretary of War: Will you please send me, through the post- office, a passport to leave the city? |
31087 | AUGUST 24TH.--We have nothing further from Charleston, except that Beauregard threatened retaliation( how?) |
31087 | And Mr. Hotze( who is he?) |
31087 | And are they not? |
31087 | And do they not take gold and other property to the North, and thereby defeat the object of the sequestration act? |
31087 | And he supposes Bragg''s splendid victory( what did he suppose the next day?) |
31087 | And how could any of its members escape? |
31087 | And is it nothing to have her soil polluted by the martial tramp of the Yankees at Alexandria and Arlington Heights? |
31087 | And what are we doing? |
31087 | And what are we doing? |
31087 | And what are we fighting for? |
31087 | And what would become of the slaves, especially in Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri? |
31087 | And will not that gallant boy in the 16th Regiment remember his mother''s fate, and take vengeance on the enemy? |
31087 | At this rate, how are we to replenish the ranks as they become thinned in battle? |
31087 | Bragg will_ probably_ be sustained by the President-- but then what will become of------, who is so inimical to Bragg? |
31087 | But can he control the State governments? |
31087 | But can he, a modest man and a Christian, aspire to such a position? |
31087 | But how can Lee achieve anything when the enemy is ever kept informed not only of his movements in progress, but of his probable intentions? |
31087 | But how can it be possible for the people of the North to submit to martial law? |
31087 | But how can they be fed? |
31087 | But how does this speak for the government, or rather the efficiency of the men who by"many indirect ways"came into power? |
31087 | But how fares it with the invader? |
31087 | But how long could he advance in that direction without being overwhelmed? |
31087 | But how long will we be allowed to remain? |
31087 | But if a forced reconstruction of the Union were consummated, does the North suppose any advantage would result to that section? |
31087 | But if he could not hold his mountain position, what can he do in the plain? |
31087 | But might they not, if this were adopted, be liable to be caught sometimes without enough ammunition? |
31087 | But suppose it should_ not_ be relieved, and a force should be sent suddenly up the James and York Rivers? |
31087 | But suppose that should be too late? |
31087 | But the gunpowder will be used to destroy the destroyer, man, and why should not the birds sing? |
31087 | But was Beauregard aware of the fact, before the opportunity ceased to exist? |
31087 | But we can not fail without more great battles; and who knows what results may be evolved by them? |
31087 | But what do they mean by the"_ nation_?" |
31087 | But what good will the crops do, if we be subjugated in the mean time? |
31087 | But what is in a name? |
31087 | But what is this"agent"to procure in the United States which could not be had by our steamers plying regularly between Wilmington and Europe? |
31087 | But what may not its ending be? |
31087 | But what were they sent to Lee for, unless he meant to give battle? |
31087 | But where are State Rights now? |
31087 | But where will this end? |
31087 | But who can foresee the future through the smoke of war, and amid the clash of bayonets? |
31087 | But why does the government issue such an order in North Carolina, when the government itself is selling, not destroying, the cotton of Mississippi? |
31087 | But will he? |
31087 | But will the President dismiss his cabinet in time to save Richmond, Virginia, and the cause? |
31087 | But will the government make itself popular with the people? |
31087 | But will the potency of his cabinet feed Lee''s army? |
31087 | But will the_ arms_ be distributed among them? |
31087 | But with flour at$ 200 per barrel; meal,$ 20 per bushel, and meat from$ 2 to$ 5 per pound, what income would suffice? |
31087 | But, then, what is the cotton business? |
31087 | Ca n''t the troops be paid? |
31087 | Can Savannah, and Charleston, and Wilmington be successfully defended? |
31087 | Can he believe the silly tale about our troops being sent from Virginia to the Carolinas? |
31087 | Can he have them? |
31087 | Can it be Gen. Cooper( Northern) who procures the appointment of so many Northern generals in our army? |
31087 | Can it be possible that the United States are ignorant of popular sentiment here? |
31087 | Can it be possible that_ he_ has influenced the President''s mind on this subject? |
31087 | Can it be possible that_ we_ have men in power who are capable of taking bribes from the enemy? |
31087 | Can it be that his hesitation is caused by the advice of the President, in his great solicitude to make the best appointments? |
31087 | Can it be that the President knows nothing of this? |
31087 | Can such a people be subjugated? |
31087 | Can such soldiers be vanquished? |
31087 | Can that be the reason his smile has faded almost away? |
31087 | Can the agents paid by the Signal Bureau be relied on? |
31087 | Can there be war brewing between the United States and England or France? |

31087 | Could Lee make such a blunder? |
31087 | Could a Yankee have been the inventor of the Secretary''s plaything? |
31087 | Could the Union men in the Convention, after being forced to pass the ordinance, have dealt a more fatal blow to their country? |

31087 | Would not Mr. Benjamin throw his influence against such a suggestion? |
31087 | Yet why are they so late in coming? |
31087 | _ Can_ it be from the Government at Washington? |
31087 | _ Miss._--But how shall the army be fed? |
31087 | _ Why_ does he procrastinate? |
31087 | _ Will these last until_----? |
31087 | and how could the garrisons escape when once cut off from the interior? |
31087 | exclaimed she,"how can I pay such prices? |
31087 | how are our brave men faring in the hands of the demon fanatics in the United States? |
31087 | or Gen. Winder''s corps of rogues and cut- throats?) |
31087 | or a portent of the future? |
31087 | to starve honest men into the Union? |
31087 | to urge their own people on to certain destruction? |
31087 | was it accidental? |
31087 | what is behind? |
31087 | would abandon it? |
31087 | would it not be too expensive--"too much for the whistle?" |
34843 | ''Are you a Christian Commission man?'' 34843 ''Are you married?'' |
34843 | ''But what''s all dis here talking''bout? 34843 ''It is n''t Sunday, is it? |
34843 | ''My boys, you do n''t play cards on Sunday, do you?'' 34843 ''O Missis,''says I,''how could you do it?'' |
34843 | ''Wo n''t you try to leave it off?'' 34843 ''_ You_ will, you nigger? |
34843 | Absurd? 34843 An''says I to her,--"''Who is God, anyhow, mammy?'' |
34843 | And leave your old home, your old master, and the place where you have lived all your days? |
34843 | Are they driving us? |
34843 | Are we to understand that in this age a captain can not afford to equal a negro in politeness? |
34843 | Are you a Union man? |
34843 | Are you a slave, Dick? |
34843 | Are you all ready there? |
34843 | Are you going to move? |
34843 | Are you going to pay me for it? |
34843 | Are you not afraid of us Yankees? |
34843 | Are you not afraid of us? |
34843 | Are you not afraid that the Rebels will catch you? |
34843 | Are you not afraid that we shall sell you? |
34843 | Are you not too much extended? 34843 But did you not wish to be free?" |
34843 | But how could you fight against the old flag? |
34843 | But how will he get his supplies? |
34843 | But if two individuals can live peacefully, why not ten,--or a hundred,--a thousand,--all? |
34843 | But, Sojourner, had you never been told about Jesus Christ? |
34843 | But, my friend, if it had not been for the Union troops would n''t you have lost everything, if you are a Union man? |
34843 | By whose authority do you take my property? |
34843 | Ca n''t you trust the President who gave you your freedom? |
34843 | Can I do anything for you? |
34843 | Can you accommodate me with a room? |
34843 | Can you favor me with an account of the affair? |
34843 | Can you read and write? |
34843 | Can you retake that battery? |
34843 | Dat President Linkum? |
34843 | Did not I tell you that I would take you away? |
34843 | Did you bring your''stificate with you? |
34843 | Did you ever see an Abolitionist? |
34843 | Did you ever try to escape? |
34843 | Did you get it for me? 34843 Did you have any desire to stay North?" |
34843 | Did you not feel sometimes like rising against your masters? |
34843 | Did you not sometimes despair? |
34843 | Did you pray, my son? |
34843 | Did your people understand the points at issue between the South and the North, when the war begun? |
34843 | Do I look as though I should like to kill your little ones? |
34843 | Do n''t you think the war is almost over,--that it is useless for Lee to contend further? |
34843 | Do they believe it? |
34843 | Do you mean the Union soldiers? |
34843 | Do you preach from the Bible? |
34843 | Do you think it right, auntie, to leave your mistress, who has taken care of you so long? |
34843 | Do you think that I am to be intimidated by a pack of blackguards from northern Ohio? |
34843 | Do you think that Lee can get across the Potomac? |
34843 | Do you think that men can live in the mountains? |
34843 | Do you think that the men will permit me to take him? |
34843 | Do you think you can take care of yourself? |
34843 | Do you want to be buried with a nigger, and have your bones touch his in the grave? |
34843 | Does any one here know anything about Jonas? |
34843 | For who that leans on His right arm Was ever yet forsaken? 34843 From Rosa? |
34843 | From Rosa? |
34843 | Has Lee licked the Yankees? |
34843 | Has he always treated you well? |
34843 | Have n''t any to sell? 34843 Have not I always treated you well?" |
34843 | Have they been in battle? |
34843 | Have you found him? |
34843 | Have you seen any Rebels this morning? |
34843 | How came you here? |
34843 | How compelled? |
34843 | How did the negroes stand fire? |
34843 | How do the Yankees behave? |
34843 | How do you do, Aunty? |
34843 | How far is it to Savannah? |
34843 | How large a force is it supposed the Rebels have in Maryland? |
34843 | How many colored men enlisted? |
34843 | How so? |
34843 | How so? |
34843 | How so? |
34843 | I asked one noble- looking soldier if he loved Jesus? 34843 I suppose you did n''t expect Grant to get this side of the Wilderness?" |
34843 | I suppose you have heard many prayers here for Jeff Davis? |
34843 | I wonder if we shall have McClellan back? |
34843 | I would like to know what title we shall have to our lands, or to the improvements we shall make? |
34843 | If I were to reside here, you of course would treat me courteously so long as I was a gentleman in my deportment? |
34843 | In what way would you have our generals act to carry out what you conceive to be such principles? |
34843 | Is General Grant in? |
34843 | Is not this your home? |
34843 | Is your master a Secessionist? |
34843 | Joe,said the Colonel,"are you willing to go home with your master?" |
34843 | Let''em burn: who cares? |
34843 | Mr. Brown, did you ever hear about the Abolitionists? |
34843 | O my God, what will become of us? 34843 O, is n''t it too bad that Zollicoffer is killed? |
34843 | Say, General, ai n''t you going to pay me for my property which your soldiers destroyed? |
34843 | See here, old fellow, wo n''t ye sell me a hunk of your gingerbread? |
34843 | Shall I take a look at the church? |
34843 | Stranger,said he,"have you got a sweet tooth?" |
34843 | Thank you,"God bless the Commission,"I say, Bill, are n''t they bully? |
34843 | The Christian Commission? 34843 The soldiers steal your chickens, you say?" |
34843 | Then the women were as eager as the men for the war? |
34843 | Then you are glad the Yankees are here? |
34843 | Then you have a wife? |
34843 | Then you look upon us as your friends? |
34843 | Then you were at Bull Run? 34843 Then you would not have a majority of the people elect their officers in the constituted way?" |
34843 | Was not the first gun fired by the Rebels upon Fort Sumter? |
34843 | Was you a member of the church there, my son? |
34843 | Was your master kind to you? |
34843 | Well, I wonder what he was thinking of when he carried out those forty thousand handcuffs? |
34843 | Well, Uncle Jacob, which would you rather be, a freeman or a slave? |
34843 | Well, my boy, what is your name? |
34843 | Well, my son, where are you from? |
34843 | Were you not afraid, Aunty, when the shells fell into the town? |
34843 | Were you not frightened when you saw the Yankees? |
34843 | What can be done for the poor whites? |
34843 | What can you do? |
34843 | What did you hear about them? |
34843 | What did you think when we were defeated at Manassas? 34843 What do the women think now?" |
34843 | What do you ask for a loaf? |
34843 | What do you call us? |
34843 | What do you charge for a glass? |
34843 | What do you think of it? |
34843 | What does this mean? |
34843 | What for? 34843 What gives the wheat- field blades of steel? |
34843 | What have ye got to sell, old fellow? 34843 What is the matter?" |
34843 | What is your name? |
34843 | What kind of people do you think they are? |
34843 | What makes you so happy? |
34843 | What pleases you, Aunty? |
34843 | What regiment do you belong to? |
34843 | What right have your men to stop us, sir? 34843 What shall I do?" |
34843 | What though the cast- out spirit tear The nation in his going? 34843 What will Grant do?" |
34843 | What, massa? |
34843 | When did you come from there? |
34843 | When do you think the war would end if such a plan was adopted? |
34843 | When will you evacuate? |
34843 | Where are you going? 34843 Where are you going?" |
34843 | Where are you going? |
34843 | Where are you going? |
34843 | Where did this come from? |
34843 | Where did you come from? |
34843 | Where do you hail from, soldier? |
34843 | Where do you live? |
34843 | Where is your captain? |
34843 | Where is your master? |
34843 | Where were you when the fight was going on at Fort Donelson? |
34843 | Where, I should like to know? |
34843 | Which way? |
34843 | Who are you, sir? |
34843 | Who do you belong to? |
34843 | Who has the most reason to be ashamed, you of us, or we of you? |
34843 | Who will convey news to Hooker of our success? |
34843 | Why do n''t Buell move? 34843 Why do n''t you fall into line?" |
34843 | Why do you keep your slaves? 34843 Why do you not go to Illinois?" |
34843 | Why do you think so? |
34843 | Why not, sir? |
34843 | Why so? 34843 Why so?" |
34843 | Why, Sojourner, what do you preach from, then? |
34843 | Why,he asked,"does Louisville write on an hundred of her stores''To let,''while Cincinnati advertises''Wanted''? |
34843 | Why? |
34843 | Will it disturb you if we have a little singing? 34843 Will you send the boy into some other regiment?" |
34843 | Would you have fought against the Yankees? |
34843 | Would you like an orange, sir? |
34843 | Would you like an orange? |
34843 | You are? |
34843 | You did n''t expect to buy them here, did you? |
34843 | You have seen people sold in the market, I suppose? |
34843 | You live in this old house down here? |
34843 | You mean one of your slaves, I presume? |
34843 | You own some slaves? |
34843 | Your own father? |
34843 | _ Is_ he? |
34843 | ''Are you to have it finished before the world ends?'' |
34843 | ''Fixing up to leave?'' |
34843 | ''How does your saloon get on?'' |
34843 | ''I have ploughed, and planted, and gathered into barns, and no man could head me; and arn''t I a woman? |
34843 | ''Please, sir, can you spare me one?'' |
34843 | ''Who wants meetings?'' |
34843 | *****"And is it Christian England cheers The bruiser, not the bruised? |
34843 | An''says I,''Laws, you did n''t think o''sech a thing as my sleepin''in dat''ar''_ bed_, did you? |
34843 | An''then says I,''_ Who_ is this?'' |
34843 | And must she run, despite the tears And prayers of eighteen hundred years, A- muck in Slavery''s crusade? |
34843 | And union find in freedom? |
34843 | And will not evening call another star Out of the infinite regions of the night To mark this day in Heaven? |
34843 | Are n''t you willing to trust him now?" |
34843 | Are you afraid that the negro will push you from your position? |
34843 | Are you willing that I should go and get my boy?" |
34843 | Bread, eh?" |
34843 | Brothers, wo n''t you follow?" |
34843 | But has not the free American laborer been forced to compete through all the years of the past with unrequited slave labor? |
34843 | But what made you become a Christian?" |
34843 | But where did they place themselves? |
34843 | But where were the Union people? |
34843 | Can any of you tell me how you voted?" |
34843 | Can we expect him to be our equal in acquisition of knowledge? |
34843 | Can you hold your front?" |
34843 | Certainly it was beneficial to the master; why should it not be to the slave? |
34843 | Could we dance? |
34843 | Did you not despair?" |
34843 | From Rosa? |
34843 | General Baird saw the negroes on the steamer, and approaching Colonel Utley, said,--"Why, Colonel, how is this? |
34843 | Had Stuart suddenly gained our rear? |
34843 | Had anything happened to them? |
34843 | Had the fuse failed? |
34843 | Have all of these negroes free papers?" |
34843 | Have n''t I been her cook for more than thirty years? |
34843 | Have n''t I cooked every meal she ever ate in that house? |
34843 | Have you written to your mother since the battle?" |
34843 | He knew it would endanger the lives of thousands; but what cared he? |
34843 | He thus addressed the unconverted:--"O, my poor, impenitent fellow- sinner, what you think you are doing? |
34843 | He was a pious old preacher; but then I seemed to see Cato in the light, an''he was all polluted an''vile, like me; an''I said,''Is it old Sally?'' |
34843 | How did they live? |
34843 | How does he know dey go out? |
34843 | How lie down in death in that loathsome place, when, by taking the oath of allegiance to the Southern Confederacy, he could obtain freedom? |
34843 | How long, O Lord? |
34843 | How much do you love your country if you thus make conditions of loyalty?" |
34843 | How shall we reward them? |
34843 | How shall we thank them? |
34843 | How you goin''to do it? |
34843 | I asked one athletic man what he thought of it? |
34843 | I have prayed for you to come; and do you think that I would have prayed one way and fit de other?" |
34843 | I looked into the first cabin, and seeing an old man sitting before the fire, greeted him with"How do you do, Uncle?" |
34843 | I met a young colored man, with features more Anglo- Saxon than African, who asked,--"Do you think, sir, that I could obtain employment in the North?" |
34843 | I often think of the language of our Saviour:''Eloi, Eloi, lama sabacthani,''--My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? |
34843 | I take it that you belong to the army?" |
34843 | I was a stranger to them all, but I ventured to make this inquiry,--"Did you ever see an Abolitionist?" |
34843 | If Secession could cut loose from the Union, why not from the Confederacy? |
34843 | If my cup wo n''t hold but a pint, and yours holds a quart, would n''t you be mean not to let me have my little half measure full?'' |
34843 | If the sword cut in one direction, why not in another? |
34843 | Is it a wonder that the recollection of that scene sometimes fills my eyes with tears? |
34843 | Is it a wonder that they exhibited extravagant joy? |
34843 | Is it old Cato?'' |
34843 | Is n''t it strange?" |
34843 | On what page of Confederate history shall we read the remonstrance of Lee, Davis, Stephens, Toombs, or Breckenridge? |
34843 | Once they asked questions of Yankees:"What is your occupation? |
34843 | Or would he move his right flank along the Blue Ridge, crowding Lee to the seaboard? |
34843 | Raising her voice she repeated,''Whar did your Christ come from? |
34843 | Raising herself to her full height, and her voice to a pitch like rolling thunder, she asked,''And arn''t I a woman? |
34843 | Said a friend to me one morning,"Are you aware that the Washington jail is full of slaves?" |
34843 | Shall not this act of two unknown colored soldiers also have a place in history? |
34843 | She''d groan an''groan, an''says I to her,--"''Mammy, what makes you groan so?'' |
34843 | Should we steam down to them, and ask them what they thought of the Rebellion? |
34843 | Sisters, wo n''t you follow? |
34843 | So great was the danger which he ran, that one of his staff said,''General, do n''t you think this is the wrong place for you?'' |
34843 | So prevailing was the excitement that the common mode of salutation on Main Street was,''When do you think the Federals will be here?'' |
34843 | The Yankees coming? |
34843 | The following conversation passed between them:--_ Colonel W._"Whom have I the pleasure of addressing?" |
34843 | There was''already an order out to move; what''s the use?'' |
34843 | They are arrant cowards, those dear dark friends of ours.[?] |
34843 | They hail me from a distance:''Are you coming down this way, chaplain?'' |
34843 | To what end? |
34843 | W._"Shall I also trouble you for a pen and ink?" |
34843 | W._"Will you do me the favor to loan me a piece of paper?" |
34843 | Was such destruction warranted? |
34843 | Was the arrival of the Monitor in Hampton Roads on that morning, after the havoc made by the Merrimac, accidental? |
34843 | Was there any respect shown by the Rebel authorities? |
34843 | Were the Rebels retreating, or were they receiving reinforcements? |
34843 | Were the workingmen of Old England any more worthy than they of New England to associate with the slave- masters of the South? |
34843 | Were they assembling to welcome us? |
34843 | What action was taken by the Rebel Congress? |
34843 | What are ye here for?" |
34843 | What are you doing here? |
34843 | What breaks the oath Of the men o''the South? |
34843 | What brought you to the South? |
34843 | What can we do with''em? |
34843 | What cared those freedmen, fresh from the house of bondage, for floating timber or military commands? |
34843 | What could I do with my three little children there? |
34843 | What could it be? |
34843 | What did she ever do for me? |
34843 | What did they do? |
34843 | What dis dey call it?'' |
34843 | What drama surpasses it in interest? |
34843 | What estimate shall we place upon their work? |
34843 | What had caused this alienation? |
34843 | What had produced this bitterness? |
34843 | What had transpired to produce this white heat of passion? |
34843 | What has she done for me in return? |
34843 | What if our horses had started? |
34843 | What is your shame worth? |
34843 | What period of the world''s history is more replete with great events affecting the welfare of the human race? |
34843 | What points the rebel cannon? |
34843 | What restraint was ever laid upon him? |
34843 | What righteous cause can suffer harm If He its part has taken? |
34843 | What say you? |
34843 | What sets the roaring rabble''s heel On the old star- spangled pennon? |
34843 | What shall I do?" |
34843 | What shall I do?" |
34843 | What shall I get?" |
34843 | What was gained by it? |
34843 | What will be the verdict of history? |
34843 | What wonder that hunger, despair, and death, and the example of some of his comrades, made him weakly hesitate? |
34843 | What would become of them? |
34843 | What''s dat got to do wid woman''s rights or niggers''rights? |
34843 | Whate''er the loss, Whate''er the cross, Shall they complain Of present pain Who trust in God''s hereafter? |
34843 | When were his acts disavowed by the Rebel government? |
34843 | When will this terrible war come to an end?" |
34843 | Where is the protest of the"chivalrous"gentlemen of the South? |
34843 | Where is your sense of fair play? |
34843 | Where will you go?" |
34843 | Where you think you are going? |
34843 | Who attempt the hazardous enterprise? |
34843 | Who gave them authority? |
34843 | Who would go? |
34843 | Why do n''t Halleck move? |
34843 | Why do the Abolitionists oppose colonization? |
34843 | Why not place them in the category with gunpowder, horses, and cattle? |
34843 | Why? |
34843 | Will it withstand the shock? |
34843 | Will not history hold him accountable? |
34843 | Will the tree of Liberty prematurely decay, if nourished by such life- giving blood? |
34843 | Would Meade move directly across the Rapidan and attack Lee in front, with every passage, every hill and ravine enfiladed by Rebel cannon? |
34843 | Would an abject, servile race, kept in chains four thousand years, assert their manhood? |
34843 | Would he not aim directly toward the cradle of Secession? |
34843 | Would he not make, rather, a sudden change of base to Fredericksburg? |
34843 | Would they falter? |
34843 | Would they fight? |
34843 | Yet who can restrain grief to see them fall in such a way as this,--not by the fortunes of war, but by the hand of an assassin?" |
34843 | You do n''t hate me individually?" |
34843 | You go about lecturing, do you not?" |
34843 | You say that the negro is an inferior being; what do you say of Frederick Douglass, who has raised himself from slavery to a high position? |
34843 | You''s heerd o''me, I reckon?" |
34843 | how did they die?" |
34843 | in''63,"Where shall we hide our goods?" |
34843 | or what if in the darkness a soldier, grieving over his imaginary wrong, and reckless of life, had misunderstood us? |
34843 | or where do you expect to go?" |
34843 | said he;"you who condemn the government? |
34843 | shall I ever forget that sight, when the boat went down?" |
38948 | ''Well, Annie, what is it?'' 38948 A prisoner? |
38948 | A''n''t one of them General Grant? |
38948 | A''n''t there any cavalry camped at Shoal Creek? |
38948 | A''n''t you the lady that sent Colonel Slemmens the boquet last summer, when he was on outpost duty, with his regiment, at Cold Water? |
38948 | And a sack of flour? |
38948 | Are they? |
38948 | Are you a soldier? |
38948 | Are you a soldier? |
38948 | Are you bursted? |
38948 | Are you going to shoot me? |
38948 | Are you going to_ shoot_ him? |
38948 | Are you hurt, Bunker? |
38948 | Are you-- gwine to-- kill me? |
38948 | Are you? 38948 Are your_ bowels_ all right?" |
38948 | Boys,said I,"do n''t you know better than to huddle together in that way for bushwhackers to shoot at? |
38948 | Bunker,said the Colonel,"a''n''t you mistaken?" |
38948 | Certainly, gentlemen; what will you have, roast beef or boiled ham? |
38948 | Colonel,said I,"what do you think about that cotton trip to Bolivar now? |
38948 | Did he? |
38948 | Did they go out here this morning? |
38948 | Did they have passes? |
38948 | Did those men come through the lines here? |
38948 | Did you allow them to go out without passes? |
38948 | Did you bring the man in? |
38948 | Did you do_ all that alone_? |
38948 | Did you get a pass from the Yank''s to get out with? |
38948 | Did you have a hand in it? |
38948 | Did you help take the place? |
38948 | Did you see any of Bill Johnson''s cavalry on the road? |
38948 | Did you see any rebel cavalry there? |
38948 | Do n''t you belong to that ar mule cavalry? |
38948 | Do you belong to the Federal army? |
38948 | Do you claim that wagon, Lieutenant? |
38948 | Do you expect to pin the States together again with bayonets? |
38948 | Do you know of any body that has got any of that kind of cartridges? |
38948 | Do you know the name of any Colonel in Bolivar, and the regiment that he commands? |
38948 | Do you know what regiment the man belonged to that took it? |
38948 | Do you know who got this man''s revolver? |
38948 | Do you remember of my assisting you one time in Memphis, when you was in trouble? |
38948 | Do you see him? |
38948 | Do you think that I would sit here and see your son steal my money without saying any thing? 38948 Do-- you-- know-- the-- hoss?" |
38948 | General Van Dorn,said General Wheeler,"do n''t you know him? |
38948 | General,said I, when the citizen had gone,"do you know where Billy Jackson is?" |
38948 | Good morning; wo n''t you come in? |
38948 | Has the forage party come in, chaplain? |
38948 | Have n''t we got a cavalry force there? |
38948 | Have n''t you taken the_ oath_, doctor? |
38948 | Have we got any cavalry here? |
38948 | Have we got any guerrillas here? |
38948 | Have you been out to the Hickory Flats? |

38948 | Have you lived in these parts long? |
38948 | Here I am, Doctor,I answered;"what do you want of me?" |
38948 | How are you, boys? |
38948 | How are_ you_? |
38948 | How came you to be in Bolivar? |
38948 | How close can we get without getting into the Yankee pickets? |
38948 | How did you manage to get into Bolivar? |
38948 | How do you do? |
38948 | How far have you come on this military road? |
38948 | How far? |
38948 | How long have you been sick? |
38948 | How many are there of you here? |
38948 | How many did they fire after I went away? |
38948 | How so? |
38948 | How so? |
38948 | How? |
38948 | I have got some nice rum here; will you try some of it? |
38948 | I suppose, then, Colonel, that the best thing that we can do is to get away from here; a''n''t it? |
38948 | If de secesh dun git us, wo n''t dey hang us both? |
38948 | Is that all? 38948 Is that your rank, sir?" |
38948 | Jim,said I to the man nearest me, whom I knew to be a good shot,"why do n''t you shoot that General?" |
38948 | Look here, daddy; do n''t you know that this country is invaded? 38948 Mother,"said she,"what are you doing with that man here?" |
38948 | Mr. Bunker, hab we got forces down dar in de bottom? |
38948 | Mr. Bunker,said he,"is there any forces coming along here?" |
38948 | My son, what made you go into the shop during my absence? |
38948 | No; are you? |
38948 | Now, could you,she continued,"demand of a_ poor lone widow_, like I am, breakfast for sixteen men and feed for a hundred and fifty horses?" |
38948 | Shall I drive him thar? |
38948 | Stranger,said I, addressing an elderly gentleman that I found on entering,"can I get some dinner here?" |
38948 | That would really be a nice little spec, would n''t it? |
38948 | That''s a fact, is it? |
38948 | That''s a_ fact_, is it? |
38948 | That''s the understanding then, is it? |
38948 | There,said the Admiral, handing me the gun;"how do you like the looks of that?" |
38948 | Tom,said I to the Sergeant,"what kind of soldiers do you call them?" |
38948 | Vare you stshay they are? 38948 Was he in the fight?" |
38948 | Was there a barrel of sugar? |
38948 | Well, ca n''t you bestow a little more of your hospitality on a fellow, in the shape of about a pint, to put in my pocket and take along? |
38948 | Well, do you ever drink any? |
38948 | Well, how did the fight come off? |
38948 | Well, inasmuch as I have got no cartridges for my gun, how will you trade guns with me? |
38948 | Well, it will be apt to go pretty hard with them, wo n''t it? |
38948 | Well, sir, are you acquainted about here? |
38948 | Well, that was lucky, was n''t it? |
38948 | Well, what are they? |
38948 | Well, what did you do with them? |
38948 | Well, what is it that you want I should do? |
38948 | Well, what is it? |
38948 | Well, what is it? |
38948 | Well, what is it? |
38948 | Well, what is the news about Vicksburg? |
38948 | Well, what luck did you have? |
38948 | Well, where is he? |
38948 | Well, why did n''t you save one of the hams that you threw away, if you wanted one so bad? |
38948 | Whar be you gwine? |
38948 | What are the militia doing there? |

38948 | What do you want? |
38948 | What do you want? |
38948 | What have we done,I inquired,"that you should have such an awful antipathy against us?" |
38948 | What have you got here? |
38948 | What is that for? |
38948 | What is your name? |

38948 | What''s the names of the men that were out with you? |
38948 | What''s up? 38948 What''s up?" |
38948 | Where are you from? |
38948 | Where are you from? |
38948 | Where are you from? |
38948 | Where are you gwine? |
38948 | Where did you come from? |

38948 | Where is he? |
38948 | Where is your look- out post? |
38948 | Where were you going, and what were you going for? |
38948 | Where? |
38948 | Where? |
38948 | Whereabouts is General Ross''command? |
38948 | Which is of the most importance, Major: for me to sit down and tell you my history, or for you to get out your men and capture those guerrillas? |
38948 | Who are these? |
38948 | Who are you to work for now? |
38948 | Who are you? |
38948 | Who are you? |
38948 | Who are you? |
38948 | Who are you? |
38948 | Who are you? |

38948 | Who is the Colonel? |
38948 | Who were those two men with you that ran away? |
38948 | Who''s coming to see you? |
38948 | Whose-- General Van Dorn''s? |
38948 | Why not? 38948 Why so? |
38948 | Why so? |
38948 | Why so? |
38948 | Why, what is it? |
38948 | Why, yes, I believe I was; where was you? |
38948 | Will you be responsible to me for my share? |
38948 | Yes, I am a spy; where do you belong? |
38948 | Yes, did you? |
38948 | Yes, h-- h-- how d-- do you do? |
38948 | Yes,said I,"the ox is yours now; why did n''t you think of that when loyal men begged of you for mercy? |
38948 | Yes,said one;"where have you been?" |
38948 | Yes; but pray what fetched you here? |
38948 | Yes; but what shall I do about it? |
38948 | Yes; why? |
38948 | You are mighty good, a''n''t you? 38948 You are? |
38948 | You belong to them, I suppose? |
38948 | You do n''t remember of having me arrested in Tennessee as a rebel spy? 38948 You do?" |
38948 | You do? |
38948 | You have taken the_ oath_ to the Lincoln Government, I suppose? |
38948 | You let him go, did you? |
38948 | You lose mules, do n''t you? |
38948 | You was? 38948 You were in the fight on the Hatchee, the other day, were you?" |
38948 | You will give-- a body-- time-- to pray-- won''t you? |
38948 | You''ve got tired soldiering on short rations, I suppose? |
38948 | You_ are_ in a bad fix now, a''n''t you? |
38948 | _ Captured_ you? |
38948 | _ Come_, prisoner,said Levi, manifesting impatience;"a''n''t you getting about through with your conversation?" |
38948 | _ How do you do, daddy?_said I again, louder than before. |
38948 | _ Ruptured!_ what is that? |
38948 | _ What in hell and d-- nation are you doing?_I shouted. |
38948 | ( Addressing the South Carolina General,)"Do you know that man?" |
38948 | A''n''t you afraid they''ll_ get you_?" |
38948 | About 1 o''clock at night a rebel Captain stepped up to me, and addressing me by name, said,"How are you?" |
38948 | Addressing myself to the lady of the house, said I,"Can we get some breakfast here this morning? |
38948 | After we had conversed awhile, I said to her,"''Melia, did you see Billy Jackson in town yesterday?" |
38948 | Approaching the bedside, I said to him:"You are sick, are you, old hoss?" |
38948 | Are you determined to kill me?_""Do n''t shoot! |
38948 | Are you the gentleman?" |
38948 | As I entered his office, I was saluted by,"Well, old hoss, who are you?" |
38948 | As we were going in, we met a soldier, who, when he saw me, called out,"Hallo, Ruggles, is that you? |
38948 | Boys, have you got any for yourselves?" |
38948 | But where is your uniform?" |
38948 | But, pray tell me, what is your situation for money?" |
38948 | By the way, how does the doctor like the Yankees being so strict?" |
38948 | Ca n''t you afford to do that much for us? |
38948 | Ca n''t you make a cotton- burning trip up into the vicinity of Bolivar? |
38948 | Ca n''t you take this revolver and keep watch for us to- night, while we sleep, so that we can_ both_ get one good night''s sleep? |
38948 | Ca n''t you wait on a poor soldier?" |
38948 | Can you do it?" |
38948 | Can you render me any assistance?" |
38948 | Can you tell me of any path that leads down there?" |
38948 | Coming up to him, I said,"Daddy, how do you do?" |
38948 | Do you think that you are doing exactly right to take up arms against us?" |
38948 | Do you understand me?" |
38948 | Do you understand that, you black rascal?" |
38948 | Do you wish to go right on to General Johnston''s head- quarters?" |
38948 | Do you''_ know him''now_? |
38948 | General, do you know Jim Ford and Charlie Ford, of Memphis?" |
38948 | Ha''n''t I taught you better than that? |
38948 | Ha''n''t I thrashed you time and again for that? |
38948 | Had n''t I better go up and tell him to come down?" |
38948 | Have n''t you got some whisky, that you can give me two or three hundred swallows before I go?" |
38948 | Have you any news?" |
38948 | Have you any papers to show that?" |
38948 | Have you''_ seen him before_?''" |
38948 | He read over my order from the Governor, and then said,"Did you raise your men under that order as scouts?" |
38948 | He said to me,"Bunker, what is your detail for?" |
38948 | Hearing some one come to the door, I inquired where Mr. W. S. Perry lived, and was asked,"Who are you?" |
38948 | How are you?" |
38948 | How did you keep the Yankees from taking your revolver?" |
38948 | How do you like my trap, Captain?" |
38948 | How do you like them?" |
38948 | How in the world did you come to be up here?" |
38948 | I again woke him up, and commenced to tell what I wanted, when he said:"Do-- you-- know-- the-- man?" |
38948 | I am sure that you ca n''t get along with that?" |
38948 | I had been there but a moment, when a prisoner, discovering that I was a fresh arrival, stepped up and said,"To what command do you belong?" |
38948 | I helped you; why not help me?" |
38948 | I think your Adjutant- General has got some pretty good whisky in there; ca n''t you induce him to give me a drink before I go back?" |
38948 | I''ll help you out of this, if I can?" |
38948 | Is any of our forces out on this yer road?" |
38948 | Is that you? |
38948 | It_ was_ a narrow escape, was n''t it?" |
38948 | Just then another prisoner came up, and, taking me by the hand, said,"Do n''t you know me?" |
38948 | Lieutenant, where did you boys stay last night?" |
38948 | Now, Major, what plan do you propose to get them through?" |
38948 | Oh, tell me, have you received your new guns yet?" |
38948 | On the Baldwin''s Ferry road?" |
38948 | Our rap for admittance was answered by"Who is there?" |
38948 | People often ask me,"What is the essential qualification of a good spy?" |
38948 | Pulling out my wallet, I said,"General, how much did you pay for that wine? |
38948 | Ruggles?" |
38948 | Said I to the latter, saluting him,"General Breman, you do n''t know me, do you?" |
38948 | Said I,"You have n''t had your furlough long, have you, Colonel?" |
38948 | Said the private to me:"Bunker, was there a carpet on that wagon?" |
38948 | Seeing only my own number of men, I inquired:"Was the doctor at home?" |
38948 | Sha''n''t I help you to some? |
38948 | She invited us to be seated, and then said:"Have you been in the fight?" |
38948 | Since it is so warm down where you are going that you do n''t need it, what objections can you have to my taking it?" |
38948 | Soldier, what road did you come in on this morning?" |
38948 | Street?" |
38948 | Taking a hickory gun- wiper that stood in a corner of the shop, he gave me a severe whipping, and then said,"Lorain, what did you do with the nails?" |
38948 | The Captain carried the letter to him and read it, and then said,"Frank, what shall I write to your sister?" |
38948 | The officers left as soon as I came up, and the lady turned her conversation to me:"Do you know General Van Dorn?" |
38948 | Then turning to the old man, I said:"Did n''t you tell the rebel Colonel that I was a Yankee spy, and try to have him shoot me? |
38948 | They are not all fools, are they?" |
38948 | They called me, and General McPherson said:"Bunker, can you shoot into that ditch yonder, where those men are at work? |
38948 | We had a chaplain in our regiment, who said to me once,''Bunker, ca n''t you bring me in a good horse?'' |
38948 | We halted in front of the steps leading on to the porch, when Levi, addressing the lady, said:"Madam, have you got any corn or fodder here?" |
38948 | We procured what breakfast we wanted, and was about to leave, when, addressing the old man, I said:"How do you do, daddy?" |
38948 | We were about to leave, when the man said,"You''ll stop with us to breakfast, wo n''t you?" |
38948 | Were you on picket yesterday?" |
38948 | What are you doing up here?" |
38948 | What business have you to be prowling about between the lines of the two contending armies?" |
38948 | What command do you belong to?" |
38948 | What do you say, will you do it?" |
38948 | What do you say? |
38948 | What do you think is the matter?" |
38948 | What do you think of that, Sol.?" |
38948 | What is your name?" |
38948 | What shall I do-- go to recruiting, or go back to the front?" |
38948 | What''s that?" |
38948 | What''s the matter up in town?" |
38948 | What''s the names of the men that belong to your band?" |
38948 | What''s the news?" |
38948 | When I had finished, said I,"Mister, look''e here; have you got any more of that''divine, adorable stuff?''" |
38948 | When he came to the date, which was 1863, when it should have been 1864, he inquired:"Where have you been for a year past?" |
38948 | When ready to attend to me, he said:"Well, where do you belong?" |
38948 | Where did you capture him?" |
38948 | Where do you belong?" |
38948 | Where in the h-- l have you been? |
38948 | Where is he?" |
38948 | Which will you do?" |
38948 | Who has not? |
38948 | Why a''n''t you cooking breakfast?" |
38948 | Why did n''t you stop? |
38948 | Why do n''t you get paroled, or run away from that guard?" |
38948 | Why, what do you want?" |
38948 | Will you accept them?" |
38948 | Wo n''t we all be killed? |
38948 | Wo n''t you alight and come in?" |
38948 | Wo n''t you let me get on behind you and ride across?" |
38948 | You are going down to hunt up the Yankees, are you?" |
38948 | You are not a- gwine to_ walk_ to Salem, are you?" |
38948 | You are really a prisoner, then, are you?" |
38948 | You did n''t know that, did you, boys?" |
38948 | You''ll get cold there, wo n''t you?" |
38948 | are you in here?" |
38948 | captured_ you_? |
38948 | do you remember the''_ Yankee spy_?'' |
38948 | have_ our forces all got up yet_?" |
38948 | is that a fight? |
38948 | said I;"why did n''t you clean that horse''s legs? |
38948 | said the man;"where do you belong?" |
38948 | that''s it, is it?_ I did n''t know that!" |
38948 | trying to evade capture, said to me:"Look''e here, mister, where do you belong?" |
38948 | what makes you think that?" |
38948 | what''s the news on the other side of the river?" |
38948 | who comes there?" |
38948 | who comes there?'' |
38948 | who comes there?'' |
38948 | will you lead us?" |
54816 | A good night at last, eh, Hutin? |
54816 | And the Belgian soldiers? |
54816 | And the Captain? |
54816 | And the Germans are perfect savages, are n''t they? |
54816 | And when did you come? |
54816 | Anybody else still asleep? |
54816 | Are n''t the Germans coming then? |
54816 | Are n''t we here to prevent them? |
54816 | Are n''t you ashamed to talk like that? |
54816 | Are those swine turning tail? |
54816 | Are we still far from the ambulance? |
54816 | Are you going to leave the names in? |
54816 | Are you in pain? |
54816 | Are you wounded? |
54816 | Ask for what, old fellow? |
54816 | Been fighting long here? |
54816 | But the Russians? |
54816 | But what are we to do?... 54816 But why did n''t the third battalion join in?" |
54816 | But your officers? |
54816 | Ca n''t I get on the step? |
54816 | Ca n''t you pull your infernal mules back a bit?... 54816 Can you manage to hold out?" |
54816 | Can you see him, Hutin? |
54816 | Chasseurs? |
54816 | Did you hear? |
54816 | Do you know Corporal X? 54816 Every one all right in there?" |
54816 | French? |
54816 | Get on? 54816 Have the Germans come as far as this?" |
54816 | Have you any milk, auntie? 54816 Have you had a bullet in the stomach?" |
54816 | Have you seen any of the English, sergeant? |
54816 | Have you seen the Germans? |
54816 | Hear what? |
54816 | Hit? |
54816 | How are you? |
54816 | How many days? |
54816 | How much? |
54816 | How much? |
54816 | How should I know? 54816 Hungry, Lintier?" |
54816 | Hutin? |
54816 | I suppose the Germans are resting, are n''t they? |
54816 | I suppose you have n''t seen the postmaster? |
54816 | I''m glad...."Had any news from home? |
54816 | Is the 102nd behind you? |
54816 | Is there an ambulance over there? |
54816 | Look... we''d better take the thumb right off, had n''t we? |
54816 | No one wounded? |
54816 | No, and you? |
54816 | No, what? |
54816 | No, why? |
54816 | No? |
54816 | Not wounded? |
54816 | Nothing you want? |
54816 | Replaced? |
54816 | Shall we make you an omelette with bacon? |
54816 | Sir? |
54816 | So Mortier''s dead, is he? |
54816 | So that''s war, is it? |
54816 | So you''re all right? |
54816 | Some milk and eggs? 54816 That''s so, is n''t it?" |
54816 | The Captain? |
54816 | Then what are they firing at? |
54816 | Then you do n''t know what''s happened? |
54816 | Think so? |
54816 | Tortue, sir? 54816 Untie your horses so that we can get the picket- lines, will you?... |
54816 | Well, Hutin, war''s a nice sort of show, is n''t it? |
54816 | Well, Laillé, did you go yesterday? |
54816 | Well, and what then? |
54816 | Well, at any rate, you wo n''t order me to do anything else afterwards? |
54816 | Well, how are things going down there? |
54816 | Well, what''s wrong with you? |
54816 | Well, where do you come from? |
54816 | What are those troops down there? |
54816 | What are you doing there? |
54816 | What did he say? |
54816 | What does it feel like, a bullet? |
54816 | What does that mean, sir? |
54816 | What have you done with her? |
54816 | What is it? 54816 What is the use of staying?" |
54816 | What range? 54816 What regiment is that passing? |
54816 | What regiment is that? |
54816 | What regiment is that? |
54816 | What time is it? |
54816 | What''s that? |
54816 | What''s the matter now? |
54816 | What''s the time? |
54816 | What''s the time? |
54816 | What''s up, old chap? |
54816 | What''s your Group doing there? |
54816 | What? 54816 What? |
54816 | What? |
54816 | What? |
54816 | What? |
54816 | What? |
54816 | Where are you going to? |
54816 | Where are you going to? |
54816 | Where are you going to? |
54816 | Where are you going? |
54816 | Where have you come from? |
54816 | Where is it? |
54816 | Where? |
54816 | Where? |
54816 | Where? |
54816 | Where? |
54816 | Who cares? |
54816 | Who let them get through? |
54816 | Who''s the idiot who did n''t pick it up yesterday? |
54816 | Why could n''t you say you were in the straw? |
54816 | Why the hell are n''t they in Berlin by this time? 54816 Why?" |
54816 | Would n''t he have killed me if I''d been all alone? 54816 Wounded?" |
54816 | Yes, and you? |
54816 | Yes, but where are the Germans? 54816 Yes.... Well, are we retiring?" |
54816 | Yes? |
54816 | You do n''t believe me? 54816 You see?" |
54816 | ***** Where were all these poor people going to? |
54816 | After we had read our correspondence Hutin called me:"Are you coming to wash your linen?" |
54816 | And another:"Suppose there''s no duty on melinite, is there?" |
54816 | And they questioned us in their turn:"Which way do you think we''d better go? |
54816 | And what happened afterwards? |
54816 | And what might we expect then? |
54816 | And yet, what are we hourly expecting as we sit here in nervous idleness in the barracks, unless it is the order for general mobilization? |
54816 | And you?" |
54816 | And, as I ventured to say that instead of killing the man treacherously they might have taken him prisoner, seeing that he had surrendered:"Why?" |
54816 | Are we going into action again?" |
54816 | As a priest I ought not to have done that, ought I? |
54816 | Be careful with your horse, ca n''t you? |
54816 | Been wounded in the chest? |
54816 | Best to go, is n''t it?" |
54816 | But a moment after one could see them through the gloom, once more subsiding and gradually slipping, slipping.... Where were we going to? |
54816 | But did we not mark time to the same refrain in 1870, almost at this time of year? |
54816 | But he went on shaking me, and then he shouted:''What the blazes do you think you''re doing?'' |
54816 | But were the French still in Belgium and in Alsace? |
54816 | But were they really advancing? |
54816 | But what the devil can you expect? |
54816 | But where are they going to?" |
54816 | But why should n''t it be true? |
54816 | But you wo n''t do the same when you get into Germany, will you?" |
54816 | But, if there was an alarm, should I be able to find them in the straw? |
54816 | But... was it true? |
54816 | By whom?" |
54816 | By whom?... |
54816 | Ca n''t see an inch in here.... Ca n''t you raise the lantern over there?" |
54816 | Ca n''t you finish me?" |
54816 | Ca n''t you keep your horses straight?... |
54816 | Ca n''t you kill them all?" |
54816 | Ca n''t you see he''s got entangled?..." |
54816 | Ca n''t you speak French?" |
54816 | Come and help, ca n''t you?" |
54816 | Could the pilot see us at that hour? |
54816 | Could we believe it? |
54816 | Did it mean defeat... invasion... France laid open? |
54816 | Do you hear?... |
54816 | Do you know where the Prussians are?" |
54816 | Do you know whether they have turned Marville on the south?" |
54816 | Do you see them over there?... |
54816 | Do you think we shall have any more fighting to- day?" |
54816 | Does it hurt much?" |
54816 | Downstairs the infantry were grumbling:"Ca n''t you keep quiet, up there, eh? |
54816 | Eh? |
54816 | Even with two to one we ca n''t be beaten, can we? |
54816 | Every few minutes Hutin asked me:"What time is it?" |
54816 | Fires or shells bursting? |
54816 | Friend or enemy? |
54816 | Got your first- aid dressing?... |
54816 | Had I caught trench pest? |
54816 | Had I hit him? |
54816 | Had our position been signalled by a spy? |
54816 | Had the enemy succeeded in crossing the frontier near Stenay? |
54816 | Had their mother fainted? |
54816 | Had we been betrayed by signal by a spy hiding somewhere behind us? |
54816 | Had we been surprised, then, or nearly surprised? |
54816 | Had we not been replaced? |
54816 | Have n''t they read the Army Order then?" |
54816 | Have you been dreaming of German mares?" |
54816 | He gave us a searching look with his intelligent hazel eyes, and repeated:"We''ll face them, wo n''t we?" |
54816 | He''ll know.... Alice is my name.... You wo n''t forget?... |
54816 | How am I to get on?" |
54816 | How came it that the enemy was allowing us to cross the river? |
54816 | How had the enemy been able to discover our new position? |
54816 | How was I to defend myself?... |
54816 | I asked a passing orderly:"Do you know when they''ll be able to dress my wound?" |
54816 | I asked a sergeant:"But those are n''t the Germans we were on the heels of yesterday and the day before, are they?" |
54816 | I questioned the big bugler:"Shall we stop? |
54816 | I suppose I know my own saddle, do n''t I? |
54816 | I thought to myself,''If he comes in, what will happen?... |
54816 | If the Belgian Army alone has managed to worst them, what hopes dare we not entertain? |
54816 | In that case, what was the good of hurrying? |
54816 | In the inside pocket of your tunic?... |
54816 | Is England going to come into line with us against Germany? |
54816 | No more room left?" |
54816 | No need to make such a row....''And then I rubbed my eyes, and got up.... Do you know who it was?... |
54816 | No?... |
54816 | On the contrary, perhaps they''ve been threatened on that side by an enveloping movement of our troops.... Who knows?... |
54816 | On we lumbered... on, on.... Should we never stop? |
54816 | One of the corporals shouted out:"Now then, get on, ca n''t you?" |
54816 | Perhaps it led to a window? |
54816 | Perhaps this shakes you too much?" |
54816 | Pointing in the direction our column was following, I asked the old man:"Where does this road lead to?" |
54816 | Pull him off, ca n''t you?" |
54816 | See?" |
54816 | Shall I tell you what_ I_ think of it, sergeant? |
54816 | Should I ever come back? |
54816 | Should we never stop? |
54816 | So the enemy was there, behind the crests, and was advancing.... What was the French command waiting for? |
54816 | Some one asked:"Why do n''t we go quicker?... |
54816 | Suddenly I heard a voice, at once infantile and yet grave, in my ear:"You wounded?" |
54816 | Surely that can not be possible? |
54816 | The artillerymen began swearing:"Hallo, what the hell''s all this? |
54816 | The flag?... |
54816 | The roll was called:"Eleventh?" |
54816 | Then how had we been seen?... |
54816 | Then how is it that we are saddled with this terrible reproach by things and people whom we can not defend against an enemy too superior in numbers? |
54816 | Then, as we prepared to go on our way:"Wo n''t you come in?" |
54816 | These beasts of Germans, who violate and disembowel women... who knows whether they would have respected her condition?... |
54816 | They stopped to ask us for water or cigarettes, and we exchanged a few words with them:"Are we advancing?" |
54816 | To Paris... to our homes... to kill, sack, rape?... |
54816 | To a certain extent, perhaps.... Did we really believe there was going to be war? |
54816 | To go where? |
54816 | Troops which can advance no farther must at all costs hold the ground won and let themselves be killed rather than retire._""Do you understand?" |
54816 | Understand?" |
54816 | Was it a surprise? |
54816 | Was it decision or courage? |
54816 | Was it not merely a fresh allotment of French troops? |
54816 | Was it possible that the enemy was at the gates? |
54816 | Was it the enemy''s advanced guard? |
54816 | Was it the guns? |
54816 | Was n''t it you who were always saying that Langle de Cary''s army ought to come up and help us? |
54816 | Was our retreat cut off? |
54816 | Was the Army Corps retiring? |
54816 | Was the enemy outflanking us again? |
54816 | Was the infantry on ahead protecting us? |
54816 | Was there a man with them? |
54816 | Was there no one to stop him? |
54816 | We asked the peasant:"Well, what did you do with your Boche?" |
54816 | We exchanged impressions:"Well, Hutin?" |
54816 | We questioned him:"So they''ve not succeeded in crossing the Meuse yet?" |
54816 | We questioned him:"Wounded?" |
54816 | We''re fighting from the North Sea right down to Belfort, are n''t we? |
54816 | Well, then, how can you judge by one wretched little corner? |
54816 | Were there not plenty of excellent positions on the hills? |
54816 | Were they French troops, or was it the enemy? |
54816 | Were they afraid of frightening us by the word"retreat"when we were already experiencing its reality? |
54816 | Were they the enemy, or were they the French troops which were occupying the heights of the Meuse near Stenay and which were now retiring? |
54816 | Were we going to entrain and leave the road open to the invaders? |
54816 | Were we not in a good position to wait for the enemy? |
54816 | Were you at Liége, or Brussels, or Copenhagen?'' |
54816 | What are we to believe? |
54816 | What can it mean? |
54816 | What can one say about a burst shell or a dead man? |
54816 | What could be the meaning of it? |
54816 | What had happened? |
54816 | What is one to write?" |
54816 | What lay hid in their gloomy forests? |
54816 | What was the meaning of this sudden retreat? |
54816 | What were these positions worth, and from what point could they be observed? |
54816 | What''s up now?" |
54816 | Where on earth were we going to? |
54816 | Where was the enemy? |
54816 | Where were the batteries which had preceded us? |
54816 | Who''s Tortue?" |
54816 | Why ca n''t some of the others have a turn?..." |
54816 | Why did they not throw forward the troops which, over towards Fresnières, were swarming on the mangel- wurzel fields? |
54816 | Why do n''t we advance also? |
54816 | Why had we been deceived, demoralized?... |
54816 | Why here rather than there? |
54816 | Why sold? |
54816 | Why this alarm? |
54816 | Why were we being sent there? |
54816 | Why were we waiting? |
54816 | Why? |
54816 | Why? |
54816 | Why? |
54816 | Why? |
54816 | Why? |
54816 | Will they?" |
54816 | Would they manage to pass us, and get to Paris? |
54816 | Would they not surround the troops operating in Belgium and those advancing in Alsace?... |
54816 | Yes? |
54816 | You have n''t had your quid this morning, have you?... |
54816 | You remember how we all said:''If anything happens to him he can count on all of us?'' |
54816 | You too?" |
54816 | You want to buy them? |
54816 | _ Shut''em_, do you hear?" |
54816 | he smells bad, does n''t he?" |
54816 | not unmixed with pain, for were it not a nobler task to extol the virtues of the living than sing the praises of those gone before? |
54816 | shut the door, ca n''t you?" |
54816 | so you''ve heard of William?" |
54816 | to start, would you?" |
54816 | what does that mean?" |
54816 | where?" |
7852 | Is----- under any engagement? |
7852 | MY VERY DEAR FRIEND,Be you yet alive? |
7852 | To- morrow, did I say? 7852 Was it philosophy that supported you in your trials? |
7852 | When and where shall I see you again? |
7852 | Who can view the works of nature, and the productions of art, without the most sublime and rapturous emotions? 7852 Why, Major Burr,"says he,"you are not going?" |
7852 | Would it be agreeable to you that----- should make overtures? |
7852 | _ Plus que jamais à vous_,dost thou recollect it? |
7852 | _ Question._ Ought the votes of Clinton to be canvassed? |
7852 | ''But what did the rascal,''continued he,''state to be the purport of the letter?'' |
7852 | ''s being out of the question, is there nothing in this line to be found in South Carolina? |
7852 | ----Where can----- be? |
7852 | --I rose up suddenly from the sofa, and rubbing my head--"What book shall I buy for her?" |
7852 | A. or Joseph A.? |
7852 | About two o''clock, as the public well know, he expired--"Incorrupta fides-- nudaque veritas Quando ullum invenient parem? |
7852 | After you get through the book you are now reading, which I think is Anacharsis, or is it Gibbon? |
7852 | Again, are they citizens of the United States, or can Congress make them such? |
7852 | Ah, my husband, what can be pleasure to your Theo., unassisted by the charms of your presence and participation? |
7852 | Ah, my husband, why are we separated? |
7852 | Am I dreaming, or do you leave home again before you go to Philadelphia? |
7852 | Am I to blame Strong? |
7852 | And can you really hope, my Theodosia, with all your ingenuity, to convince me that such a being will enjoy equal happiness in marriage with me? |
7852 | And do you find that you converse with more facility in the French? |
7852 | And do you regret that you are not also a woman? |
7852 | And do you, indeed, miss your Theo.? |
7852 | And have you not as much philosophy as I have? |
7852 | And is not Reubon in a way to be coquetted, with his eyes open? |
7852 | And tell me what is laudanum? |
7852 | And what are its effects? |
7852 | And what does all this prove? |
7852 | And what in particular were the contents of such letters or letter, or communication? |
7852 | And what took you to Darien? |
7852 | And when we enter on the theatre of the world, why not act our parts together? |
7852 | And whether a copy of it can be procured? |
7852 | And who can be a judge of these consequences but myself? |
7852 | And why he did not retreat with the army? |
7852 | Are authority and compulsion then the only engines by which you can be moved? |
7852 | Are the Wadsworths with you? |
7852 | Are the wagons you mentioned some time ago returned? |
7852 | Are there any, or very pressing calls at the office? |
7852 | Are you a good girl? |
7852 | Are you afflicted with any of your old, or with what new complaint? |
7852 | Are you content? |
7852 | Aristotle says"that a man should not marry before he is six- and- thirty:"pray, Mr. Alston, what arguments have you to oppose to such authority? |
7852 | As you are likely to make considerable use of it, would it not be worth while to have a few days''work done on it? |
7852 | Better or worse? |
7852 | But even supposing I should fail in this-- where is this sad reverse of fortune?--this lamentable change? |
7852 | But pray, when you have got up to two hundred lines a lesson, why do you go back again to one hundred and twenty, and one hundred and twenty- five? |
7852 | But what has become of poor Alpha Beta? |
7852 | But what necessity for enumerating all these circumstances? |
7852 | But when or where, I pray, are we to meet? |
7852 | But when that love is real, what can amuse, what engage the mind, to banish, for a single instant, the object of its delight? |
7852 | But why am I requested to"_ say nothing about obligations_,"while you continue to load me with new ones? |
7852 | But why do you diminish their value by carelessness? |
7852 | But why need I advise a person of better judgment than myself? |
7852 | But why need I confine myself to these? |
7852 | But why should I desire you to do what I know your own heart will dictate? |
7852 | But why should we connect ourselves with any of them, so as to interrupt our studies? |
7852 | But why these questions, to which I can receive no answer but in person? |
7852 | But why this to you, who know me better than I know myself? |
7852 | But you bear it charmingly; do you think this courage will last, or is it only a spasm? |
7852 | But, allowing both these objections their full force, may there not be a single case that they do not reach? |
7852 | Ca n''t you lug a scrap from him now and then, apropos, into your letters? |
7852 | Can any thing place the charge in a more ridiculous point of view? |
7852 | Can as much be said in favor of his great competitor on that occasion? |
7852 | Can interest repay the sacrifice? |
7852 | Can it be that you have still in memory the vagrant Burr? |
7852 | Can you excuse, sir, the overflowing of a heart that knows not where to stop when on a subject so interesting? |
7852 | Can you form an idea of a more happy mortal than she will be when seated on the throne of Constantinople? |
7852 | Can you imagine what are Miss C.''s occupations and arrangements? |
7852 | Can you leave Mr. Osmer without injury? |
7852 | Can you make little_ chose_ drink the water? |
7852 | Coquetting for admiration and attracting flattery? |
7852 | DEAR SIR, His excellency desires me to inquire whether you have received any information of the enemy''s movements, situation, or design? |
7852 | Did he know the printed orders?--was she sold conformable? |
7852 | Did he not communicate to you that the said David A. Ogden had been requested to see the plaintiff for the purposes aforesaid? |
7852 | Did he or any other person( and if so, who?) |
7852 | Did not the said house ballot for the president several times before a choice was made? |
7852 | Did the conduct of the said Aaron Burr correspond with the declarations contained in the said letter? |
7852 | Did you ever communicate with the plaintiff, or he with you, on the subject? |
7852 | Did you ever know them to countenance a man of talents and independence? |
7852 | Did you receive any letters from the said Aaron Burr after the said equality of votes was known and before the final choice of a president? |
7852 | Did_ he_, the said Aaron Burr, know thereof? |
7852 | Discouraged? |
7852 | Do I read right? |
7852 | Do n''t you see that this sentence would have been perfect and much more elegant without the last_ it_? |
7852 | Do yon recollect the second daughter of Mr. Barclay, of Philadelphia, the sister of Nelly? |
7852 | Do you continue to preserve Madame De S.''s good opinion of your talents for the harp? |
7852 | Do you discover a symptom of it? |
7852 | Do you drink the waters, and bathe, and ride, and walk? |
7852 | Do you ever hear from Natalie? |
7852 | Do you know Miss Joanna Livingston? |
7852 | Do you know any matter, circumstance, or thing which can be material to the defendant in this cause? |
7852 | Do you know any person who did communicate with him? |
7852 | Do you know that any measures were suggested or pursued by any person or persons to secure the election of Aaron Burr to the presidency? |
7852 | Do you know the parties, plaintiff and defendant, or either and which of them, and how long have you known them respectively? |
7852 | Do you know the present boundaries of the French republic? |
7852 | Do you know who such members were? |
7852 | Do you know, or have you been informed( and if so, how?) |
7852 | Do you mean that the forty lines which you construed in Virgil were in a part you had not before learned? |
7852 | Do you not think we may safely enter the house then? |
7852 | Do you or do you not know Aaron Burr, late vice- president of the United States? |
7852 | Do you or do you not know Thomas Jefferson, president of the United States? |
7852 | Do you really feel a vacuum in your pleasures? |
7852 | Do you really find happiness indissolubly blended with her presence? |
7852 | Do you think that 8 would be induced from any motive to vote for him? |
7852 | Do you think this trait ominous of a coward? |
7852 | Do you want the pity of such? |
7852 | Do you, my husband, think as frequently of your Theo., and wish for her? |
7852 | Does Theodosia employ herself ever in the same way? |
7852 | Does he yet know his letters? |
7852 | Does it not drop through your tent? |
7852 | Does our friend Doctor Blythe still reside at Georgetown? |
7852 | Does young Mr. Broome attend? |
7852 | For friendship? |
7852 | Four pages in Lucian was a great lesson; and why, my dear Theo., ca n''t this be done a little oftener? |
7852 | General Knox presented himself, and Burr( then called Major Burr) asked the general what he did there? |
7852 | God bless you; you have my prayers always; and who dare say they are not as good as a bishop''s, or any member of a Presbyterian synod? |
7852 | Had I any thing so much at heart as to render him happy? |
7852 | Has he not informed you, or have you not understood( and if so, how?) |
7852 | Has she a soul framed for love? |
7852 | Has some earthquake, some sudden and dreadful concussion of nature, ingulfed you? |
7852 | Has the God of heaven, in anger, here changed the order of nature? |
7852 | Have my directions been pursued with regard to her Latin and geography? |
7852 | Have our enjoyments for that period been worth the trouble of living? |
7852 | Have you any commands to town, madam? |
7852 | Have you any rice on hand yet? |
7852 | Have you done running up and down stairs? |
7852 | Have you enough of_ gampy_ now? |
7852 | Have you ever ratified the vows she made in your behalf? |
7852 | Have you forgotten the mad project of going to England? |
7852 | Have you not been tormented with some embarrassments which I wickedly left you to struggle with? |
7852 | He added a fourth, to wit: What would be Mr. Jefferson''s conduct as to the public officers? |
7852 | He was turned round and round by each of the company: was asked where he got that very neat bag, and the valuable locket? |
7852 | Heavy business, is it not? |
7852 | Hence arose a question, whether this was not a_ personal trust_, which could not be legally performed by deputy? |
7852 | How am I to judge of the degree intended? |
7852 | How can Mr. Alston, consistently with his views of business, leave the state for five or six months, as you have proposed, for your Northern tour? |
7852 | How could I omit Celeste and her sisters, whom I saw several times? |
7852 | How could I write to you How divine your residence? |
7852 | How could we forget Latimer? |
7852 | How could you be sure that even this opinion had exceeded the bounds which you would yourself deem admissible between political opponents? |
7852 | How do you account for the apathy of the public on this subject? |
7852 | How do you like this essay? |
7852 | How do you live, sleep, and amuse yourself? |
7852 | How does your election advance? |
7852 | How else could he have been questioned with any propriety? |
7852 | How far are you from Natalie? |
7852 | How have you borne it? |
7852 | How is General Vaughan? |
7852 | How is it possible you can write me such short letters, having so much leisure, and surrounded with all that can interest me? |
7852 | How is it possible you had nothing more to write? |
7852 | How is it that I have not a line from_ Mari_, in answer to several letters which I wrote him from New- York? |
7852 | How is this? |
7852 | How is your health? |
7852 | How long are you to stay in Charleston? |
7852 | How many sergeants''parties have you? |
7852 | How was this to be effected? |
7852 | How, then, could I refuse him one day? |
7852 | I asked Alston,''Would you wish to see my notes of what passed between Duane and me?'' |
7852 | I have a thousand questions to ask, but why ask of the dumb? |
7852 | I have not asked the price, but not exceeding_ eight hundred dollars!_ Did you take away"The man of Nature?" |
7852 | I set out for camp the last of this week; may I expect letters from my friend? |
7852 | I should doubtless be happier if I enjoyed perfect health and the society of a friend_ like you_; but why do I say like you? |
7852 | I then thought so, as you will readily believe; because, why should I deceive my dear little Theodosia? |
7852 | I went to a wedding supper at Mrs. Moore''s, whose daughter has married Willing-- could any one suppose she was_ unwilling_? |
7852 | I would give, what would I not give to see or know even your most trifling actions and amusements? |
7852 | If I leave Richmond Hill, however, had I not better buy in town, that you may have a resting- place there? |
7852 | If he was not sheriff, can the votes sent by him be legally canvassed? |
7852 | If so, which state or states, and what was the reason or reasons of such belief? |
7852 | If the cabals of the day be not speedily arrested, where shall our political bark be anchored? |
7852 | If yea, what was the tenour of such letter? |
7852 | If you finish your causes before court is over, can not you look at us, even should you return to the manor? |
7852 | If you have any, had you not better send it? |
7852 | If you mean it for a residence, what avail its intrinsic value? |
7852 | If you were half as punctual or as fortunate( which shall I call it? |
7852 | In Charleston, Sullivan''s Island, or Clifton? |
7852 | In plain terms, can you spare me the amount of it? |
7852 | In what case it was taken? |
7852 | Is Chevalier still punctual? |
7852 | Is L. N. coming to live with you? |
7852 | Is it because each revolving day proves thee more deserving? |
7852 | Is it not a very easy matter to fix on another time, and write you word by T. Edwards? |
7852 | Is it owing to ignorance or prejudice that I have not yet met a single person who had discovered or would allow the merit of this work? |
7852 | Is it possible my affection can increase? |
7852 | Is it, then, criminal that a person of mature age should converse on a subject most highly interesting with the friend most likely informed? |
7852 | Is my wife, too, taken from me? |
7852 | Is not that good Irish? |
7852 | Is not that industry? |
7852 | Is that right? |
7852 | Is the language and spelling your own? |
7852 | Is this right? |
7852 | Is this the promised protection? |
7852 | It is so long; how long is it? |
7852 | Laid aside for the present? |
7852 | Let me know whether you are yet suited with horses, and how? |
7852 | Lo Alexander and Cesar, the fabled heroes of antiquity, to what lengths did passion hurry them? |
7852 | MY DEAR SIR, Will you allow me that appellation, who have so long neglected to inform you of the situation of your affairs left in my hands? |
7852 | May l expect to see you here in the spring? |
7852 | May not the same be the case with noxious vapours? |
7852 | Might I safely travel through your low country at this season? |
7852 | Might it not be of service to draw a line, if but for a few days, from Bronx to Rye, or Mamaroneck? |
7852 | Montesquieu says he writes to make people think; and why may not Theodosia? |
7852 | Must I attribute it to the fatality which has already separated us, and, I fear, is determined to put an eternal bar to our junction? |
7852 | Need we a proof of this? |
7852 | Never enjoying, always hoping? |
7852 | Now, how much wiser or better are we than this time last year? |
7852 | Now, ma Minerve, is not this a very ridiculous posture for so grave an affair? |
7852 | Now, say you, what has this to do with the introduction of a correspondence? |
7852 | Now, what are your plans? |
7852 | Oh, why did n''t you bring her? |
7852 | On the 24th of June, 1778, the commander- in- chief propounded to the general officers the question,"Will it be advisable to hazard a general action?" |
7852 | One letter may contain the name, and another the comment--_"Car ou l''arreter?_"is rather too mystical. |
7852 | Or are you so angry as not to think I merit an answer? |
7852 | Or how shall I annex any precise idea to language so indefinite? |
7852 | Or, why should I be denied the common privilege of every liberal mind, that of acknowledging the obligation which I have not the power of cancelling? |
7852 | Ought the votes of Tioga to be canvassed? |
7852 | Ought they to canvass those sealed in the box, and reject the others? |
7852 | Pray can it be true that she was engaged to a young man whom we knew and valued, and who lately died in your country? |
7852 | Pray how do you advance? |
7852 | Pray shake your little noddle, to give the brains, if any there be, a little action; but who can do two things at once? |
7852 | Pray what have you been doing? |
7852 | Pray why have you neglected to answer my letter by Colonel Wadsworth? |
7852 | Pray, do you recollect the opinion which Judge Candour solemnly pronounced upon us both, in a court of reason held at the Indian King? |
7852 | Pray, from whom did you learn that he was angry? |
7852 | Pray, have you lived altogether on pepper? |
7852 | Pray, in what consists the pleasure of a familiar correspondence? |
7852 | Pray, madam, do you know of what consist the"Republic of the Seven Islands?" |
7852 | Pray, say you, what is it to me why you have not been in the army? |
7852 | Quoi faire? |
7852 | Resume, I pray you, this confidence, so flattering to me, so consoling to yourself, may I add, so justly founded? |
7852 | Run off and leave him? |
7852 | Shall I add, their love also? |
7852 | Shall I exchange? |
7852 | Shall I guess again? |
7852 | Shall I or shall I not investigate this point? |
7852 | Shall I write to her to- night, or omit it till to- morrow? |
7852 | She promised to give you now and then a lesson on the forte- piano; is she as good as her word? |
7852 | Stiff with cold, how must his papa have fared? |
7852 | Supposing he should come here the 13th of April, what could I do? |
7852 | Taking lessons of Wisdom from your Minerva? |
7852 | Tell me truly, did you write it without assistance? |
7852 | Tell me, Aaron, why do I grow every day more tenacious of thy regard? |
7852 | That you are not numbered in that galaxy of beauty which adorns an assembly- room? |
7852 | The cheerfullness of all around me led me to ask why all animated nature enjoyed its being but man? |
7852 | The handwriting of the letters various; very good, very bad, and middling; emblematic, shall I say, of the fair authoress? |
7852 | The happiness of my life depends on your exertions; for what else, for whom else do I live? |
7852 | The inquiry was then made--"What are we to do?" |
7852 | The mother I cherished with so much pride? |
7852 | The next question was, Of whom shall the assembly ticket for the city be composed? |
7852 | The question--_When shall we meet_? |
7852 | The reason, indeed, is obvious; for what more necessary to be learned and accurately understood? |
7852 | There; is not that little incident related in the true heroic style? |
7852 | This phenomenon( what shall I call it?) |
7852 | Till that time, my dear friend, can you keep me above water, and do justice to yourself? |
7852 | To this junto you have twice sacrificed yourself, and what have you got by it? |
7852 | To whom am I indebted but to you, my friend, for this unmerited favour? |
7852 | Under such circumstances, am I not only warranted in these remarks, but imperiously called upon to make them? |
7852 | Was Richard R. Smith the sheriff of the county of Otsego when he received and forwarded the ballots by his special deputy? |
7852 | Was you a member of the House of Representatives of the United States, at Washington, in the session of 1800 and 1801? |
7852 | We stared, and asked one another-- How could Burr know that? |
7852 | Were there any letter or letters written communicating such an intention? |
7852 | What are L. N.''s? |
7852 | What brighter mark-- what stronger evidence need we of a God? |
7852 | What can be the reason of the great delay in forwarding letters by the post? |
7852 | What can have exhausted or disturbed you so much? |
7852 | What care you for all that? |
7852 | What co- operation or aid the plaintiff could or would afford towards securing his own election to the presidency? |
7852 | What conduct he would pursue in respect to certain cardinal points of federal policy? |
7852 | What does Mr. Jefferson mean by the declaration that he had formed a cabinet, of which Mr. Burr was to be a member? |
7852 | What greater blessing can await me? |
7852 | What have we left? |
7852 | What in the name of love and matrimony can this mean? |
7852 | What is all this says my friend Aaron? |
7852 | What is become of the rifles? |
7852 | What is the exchange with you? |
7852 | What language can express the joy, the gratitude of Theodosia? |
7852 | What man under heaven ever before discovered an analogy between a moscheto and his mistress? |
7852 | What more could she do? |
7852 | What of that? |
7852 | What other mode remained to set the public mind at ease? |
7852 | What shall I do with the other articles, a small parcel of glassware and rum, and the money arising from the sales of the vessel''s sea- coat,& c.? |
7852 | What then will be your substitute? |
7852 | What think you of this alteration in the plan we settled? |
7852 | What thought suggested my assent? |
7852 | What will you think of the taste of New- York when I shall tell you that Miss Broadhurst is not very generally admired here? |
7852 | What would I not give to have but those four small words from thee? |
7852 | What would be your conjectures in such a case? |
7852 | What would you bet that La G. is not in a kind of quandary just now? |
7852 | What would you say if I should tell you that----- had absolutely professed love for me? |
7852 | What''s the matter I do n''t write to Natalie any more? |
7852 | What-- can neither affection nor civility induce you to devote to me the small portion of time which I have required? |
7852 | When the heat shall be intolerable here, shall I set my face towards the sun? |
7852 | When were these communications made? |
7852 | When, when will that month come? |
7852 | When, when will the month of October come? |
7852 | Where and how made? |
7852 | Where are the promised letters? |
7852 | Where did it loiter so long? |
7852 | Where is Hampton all this while, that you say nothing of him? |
7852 | Where is Miss Burr? |
7852 | Where now was the boy? |
7852 | Where will you be from the 10th to 15th May? |

7852 | Who can view the miseries of others, without being dissolved into compassion? |
7852 | Who will be appointed? |
7852 | Why are you so cautiously silent as to our little Sally? |
7852 | Why are you still in town? |
7852 | Why did I consent to his departure? |
7852 | Why did I hesitate to decide? |
7852 | Why did you undertake that very laborious task you mention? |
7852 | Why do you delay it so long? |
7852 | Why do you neither acknowledge nor answer my last letter? |
7852 | Why have you not already done it? |
7852 | Why may not Papa Alston be weaned as well as Papa Burr? |
7852 | Why may not this be done again? |
7852 | Why, Burr, all this negligence? |
7852 | Why, then, expose my person? |
7852 | Why, then, will you expose my weakness by ascribing to me imaginary excellences? |
7852 | Will it not advance the service to send you down some biscuit? |
7852 | Will it not be possible for you to meet me at Trenton, that we may travel together to New- York? |
7852 | Will not the same pertinacity and precipitation endanger the better-- the opposite cause? |
7852 | Will not these continued rains deprive us of the pleasure of the promised visit of the W.''s? |
7852 | Will the reader examine the deposition, especially what relates to Mr. McLean and Mr. Latimer? |
7852 | Will you be able to extricate me from the difficulties attending this bill? |
7852 | Will you be abroad any, and what part of the summer? |
7852 | Will you speedily supply the deficiency? |
7852 | Will your health permit you to join the army? |
7852 | Without enjoyment, without distinction? |
7852 | Wo n''t she come up this winter? |
7852 | Would Charles Lee accept the place of secretary of the Senate? |
7852 | Would Mr. Alston be willing to go as secretary to Chancellor Livingston? |
7852 | Would he believe, still further, that it was drawn by an American? |
7852 | Would it be an intolerable labour, if, precisely at half past nine o''clock every evening, you should say,"I will now devote an hour to papa?" |
7852 | Would not these evils be in some measure remedied by sending me a parcel of shoes? |
7852 | Would not this be truly satanic? |
7852 | Would you think it? |
7852 | Yet wherefore? |
7852 | Yet would not a permanent residence in town for some, for many, for all reasons, be better? |
7852 | Yet, on second thought, would it not be better that he break his? |
7852 | You are not contented, my dear Burr, and why are you not? |
7852 | You ask how Miss P. walks? |
7852 | You say nothing of writing or learning Greek verbs;--is this practice discontinued? |
7852 | You sigh for New- Jersey, and why do you not return? |
7852 | _ Interrogatory on the part of the plaintiff_.--Do you know of any matter or thing that may be beneficial to the plaintiff on the trial of this cause? |
7852 | _ It leaves a chasm in my arrangements_ which can not be adequately filled up?" |
7852 | _ Qu''a- t- il_, Alexis? |
7852 | and if so, what did he say? |
7852 | and why? |
7852 | and, therefore, what more proper to engage the attention? |
7852 | can aught on earth compensate for his presence? |
7852 | for what am I reserved? |
7852 | from what unfriendly cause does this arise? |
7852 | frown? |
7852 | has Heaven more to grant? |
7852 | if so, how many times? |
7852 | if so, were such letter or letters forwarded to him through the postoffice by any person, and who? |
7852 | if so, what were their names? |
7852 | if so, who were such person or persons? |
7852 | is she to wear out her youth and beauty, dissipate her talents, and exhaust her spirits without an object in life or a place in society? |
7852 | or flying after the Atalanta''s of Virginia, more swift than their celebrated racers? |
7852 | or the postmaster? |
7852 | or whom? |
7852 | that he was apprized that an attempt would be made to secure his election? |
7852 | that the plaintiff declared, as to the first question, it would not be expedient to enter into explanations, or words to that effect? |
7852 | the anxiety and misery it cost us for some days? |
7852 | what more near and interesting? |
7852 | what sacrifices do you make, and to what end? |
57383 | ''Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? 57383 ''The question,''Mr. Lincoln replied,''was,"Why does man have breasts?"'' |
57383 | ''Well, what about General King?'' 57383 ''Well,''he said,''are you on good terms with Price and King?'' |
57383 | ***On the vote to repeal the Fugitive Slave Law, how did that( Democratic) side of the House vote? |
57383 | And suppose they could be induced by a Proclamation of Freedom from me to throw themselves upon us, what should we do with them? 57383 Any chickens?" |
57383 | Any eggs? |
57383 | Any flour or grain? |
57383 | Any guerrillas? |
57383 | Are you a member of the other House? |
57383 | Are you prepared for such a change in the institutions of your country? 57383 Are you the Governor of a State?" |
57383 | But what more was done? 57383 But why should Emancipation South, send the freed people North? |
57383 | Certainly not"Have you ever had a vote of thanks by name? |
57383 | Dependenceupon whom, and with regard to what? |
57383 | Descendants of the same people inhabit the country; yet what is the reason of this vast difference? 57383 Do you think you could become so interested in my conversation as not to notice the door- keeper?" |
57383 | Have you any meat? |
57383 | He said,''Wo n''t General Price vote for it? 57383 How will it be with New England? |
57383 | I ask the Senator to recollect, too, what, save to send aid and comfort to the Enemy, do these predictions of his amount to? 57383 If, then, for a common object, this Property is to be sacrificed, is it not just that it be done at a common charge? |
57383 | If, then, we are at some time to be as populous as Europe, how soon? 57383 Is anybody in the house?" |
57383 | Is it a good road, and how far? |
57383 | Is it doubted, then, that the plan I propose, if adopted, would shorten the War, and thus lessen its expenditure of money and of blood? 57383 Is it locked up?" |
57383 | Is it true, then, that Colored people can displace any more White labor by being Free, than by remaining Slaves? 57383 Is no one about who can get in?" |
57383 | Is there no Justice in putting an end to human Slavery? 57383 It is not,''Can any of us imagine better?'' |
57383 | Now, I ask any plain common- sense man what was the meaning of that? 57383 Now, then, tell me, if you please, what possible result of good would follow the issuing of such a Proclamation as you desire? |
57383 | Now, where is the proper place to break it? |
57383 | Question. � And of course an abandonment of the purpose for which you were there? 57383 Question. � At that time General Patterson felt it was so important to attack Johnston that he had determined to do it? |
57383 | Question. � Behind his intrenchments? 57383 Question. � Did not General Patterson issue orders at Bunker Hill, the night before you marched to Charlestown, for an attack on the Enemy? |
57383 | Question. � Even if you had received a check there, it would have prevented his junction with the forces at Manassas? 57383 Question. � That order was not countermanded until late on Tuesday, the 16th, was it? |
57383 | Question. � You understood General Patterson to be influenced to make that attempt because he felt there was a necessity for detaining Johnston? 57383 Question[ by Mr. Odell]. � Had you any such understanding with Patterson? |
57383 | Question[ by Mr. Odell]. � You covered his movement? 57383 Question[ by the Chairman]. � Did he[ Patterson] assign any reason for that movement? |
57383 | Shall one battle determine the fate of empire, or a dozen? � the loss of one thousand men, or twenty thousand? 57383 The question is, if the Colored people are persuaded to go anywhere, why not there? |
57383 | Was it possible to lose the Nation and yet preserve the Constitution? 57383 Well, ai n''t you on our side?" |
57383 | Well,said he,"did n''t you think it was the biggest shuck and the littlest ear that ever you did see?" |
57383 | Well,said he,"did you see him take it off?" |
57383 | Well,said he,"what do you want of me?" |
57383 | Well,said he,"why do n''t you go into the gallery?" |
57383 | What appointment? |
57383 | What are the uses of decisions of Courts? 57383 What do you know of Uncle Billy?" |
57383 | What do you live on? |
57383 | What else was done at the very same session? 57383 What good would a Proclamation of Emancipation from me do, especially as we are now situated? |
57383 | What is to be done with the freedmen? |
57383 | What is your badge? |
57383 | What says the Preamble to the Constitution? 57383 What troops are those?" |
57383 | What,said he, referring to Mr. Ross,"has been the course of that gentleman and his Party on this floor in regard to voting supplies to the Army? |
57383 | Where? |
57383 | Whether such language is not Treason? |
57383 | Why should they leave this Country? 57383 Why should this Property be exempt from the hazards and consequences of a rebellious War? |
57383 | Why was not this taken and accepted? 57383 Why?" |
57383 | Will you ever submit to a warfare waged by the Southern States to establish Slavery in Illinois? 57383 � you ask �"What next?" |
57383 | ''Must a Government of necessity be too strong for the liberties of its own people, or too weak to maintain its own existence?'' |
57383 | *** But you may ask me what are these rights and these privileges? |
57383 | *** How has the planting of Slavery in new countries always been effected? |
57383 | *** On the subject of arming Slaves, of putting Negroes into the Army, how has my colleague and his Party voted? |
57383 | *** This being so, what is Judge Douglas going to spend his life for? |
57383 | *** What can authorize him to draw any such inference? |
57383 | *** What cause is there for further alarm in the Southern States, so far as the Territories are concerned? |
57383 | *** What is fairly implied by the term Judge Douglas has used,''resistance to the decision?'' |
57383 | *** What is now the case? |
57383 | *** Who did it? |
57383 | *** Will it be any more valid? |
57383 | ***"''Question. � In what direction would Johnston have had to move to get by you? |
57383 | ***"I ask Mr. Lincoln how it is that he purposes ultimately to bring about this uniformity in each and all the States of the Union? |
57383 | ***"You may ask, why does the South want us to do it by Constitutional Amendment, when we have just done it voluntarily by Law? |
57383 | ******"What more, then, is demanded? |
57383 | ********* Question[ by the Chairman]. � Would there have been any difficulty in preventing Johnston from going to Manassas? |
57383 | *********"Question. � While at Bunker Hill, the night before you left there, were any orders issued to march in the evening? |
57383 | **********''Question[ by the Chairman]. � And that left Johnston free? |
57383 | 1, but are in the immediate neighborhood, on their plantations? |
57383 | 9:45 p.m."LIEUTENANT- GENERAL GRANT:"Would it not be well for Warren to go down with his whole corps and smash up the force in front of Sheridan? |
57383 | A Freeman? |
57383 | A few days afterward the husband again appealed to his commanding officer( Taylor), who exclaimed:"Have n''t you got a musket? |
57383 | After assisting him in checking his steed, the President said to me:''He came pretty near getting away with me, did n''t he? |
57383 | After shaking hands all round, the Governor said,"Coleman, what the devil is the matter here?" |
57383 | And Farnsworth met this idea � which had also been advanced by Messrs. Ross, Fernando Wood, and Pruyn � by saying:"What constitutes property? |
57383 | And as it is to so go, at all, events, may we not agree that the sooner the better? |
57383 | And as to Oligarchal rule � the rule of the few( and those the Southern chiefs) over the many, � was not that already accomplished? |
57383 | And how is it, that Johnston gets away from Patterson so neatly? |
57383 | And if such is the case, what are we to hope in the future? |
57383 | And is it not needed whenever it helps us and hurts the Enemy? |
57383 | And then cried the orator- his voice rising to a higher key, penetrating, yet musical as the blast from a silver trumpet:"What would he have? |
57383 | And then, having succeeded in convincing himself of Republican failure, he exultingly exclaimed:"But why enumerate? |
57383 | And to this more than fair proposition to the Southerners � to this touching appeal in behalf of Peace � what was the response? |
57383 | And we are asked by one of my colleagues,( Mr. Cox) does the gentleman from New York intend to call us Traitors? |
57383 | And what can that purpose be, but to throw his augmented right upon our left, at Blackburn''s Ford, and so, along the ridge- road, upon Centreville? |
57383 | And what have we seen? |
57383 | And what is this"republican"form of government, thus pledged? |
57383 | And what next? |
57383 | And what was the chief cause or pretext for discontent at that time? |
57383 | And what was the response of the South to this generous and conciliatory message? |
57383 | And when does he do it? |
57383 | And whose the sacrilegious hand that dared be first raised against his Country and his Country''s flag? |
57383 | And why may we not continue that ratio far beyond that period? |
57383 | And why the hasty after- indorsement of the decision, by the President and others? |
57383 | And, above all, is it consistent with any notion, which the mind of man can conceive, of human Liberty?" |
57383 | And, in any event, can not the North decide for itself, whether to receive them? |
57383 | Another, Mr. Charles E. Lex( a Republican), speaking of the Southern People, said:"What, then, can we say to them? |
57383 | Are they not already in the Land? |
57383 | Are they not intended for disorganization in our very midst? |
57383 | Are they not intended to animate our enemies? |
57383 | Are they not intended to destroy our zeal? |
57383 | Are they not intended to dull our weapons? |
57383 | Are we to predict evil, and retire from what we predict? |
57383 | Are we to stop and talk about an uprising sentiment in the North against the War? |
57383 | Are you for it? |
57383 | Are you for it? |
57383 | As I drew up by the party, Bismarck accosted me with,"Well, General, are n''t you hungry? |
57383 | As a political question and a question of humanity, can I receive the services of a father and mother, and not take the children? |
57383 | At every meal the steward would come to me, and say,"Captain Sherman, will you bring your ladies to the table?" |
57383 | At this General Grant remarked:"Did he say so? |
57383 | Aye, what next? |
57383 | Benjamin, why do you not vote? |
57383 | But do you think they are so perfectly moulded to their state as to be insensible that a better exists? |
57383 | But how can we attain it? |
57383 | But it first became necessary to settle the important question of who should succeed General McPherson? |
57383 | But the matter regarded by him of larger moment � the safety of the Union � how about that? |
57383 | But to return to Military operations: On December 10th? |
57383 | But what have we seen? |
57383 | But what next? |
57383 | But what would be the effect upon South Carolina? |
57383 | Ca n''t you defend your own family?" |
57383 | Can Grant supply himself from the Mississippi? |
57383 | Can I have fifty? |
57383 | Can aliens make treaties easier than friends can make laws? |
57383 | Can aliens make treaties, easier than friends can make laws? |
57383 | Can it be that such a resort finds root in any stratum of American opinion? |
57383 | Can not this last bloody battle be avoided?'' |
57383 | Can the Union endure under such a system of policy? |
57383 | Can their self love be so totally annihilated as not frequently to induce ardent wishes for a change? |
57383 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens than laws can among friends? |
57383 | Can treaties be more faithfully enforced between aliens, than laws can among friends? |
57383 | Can we Abolish Slavery in the Loyal State of Kentucky against her will? |
57383 | Can we account for it to ourselves, gentlemen? |
57383 | Can we afford to send them forward to their masters, to be by them armed against us, or used in producing supplies to sustain the Rebellion? |
57383 | Can we do anything more? |
57383 | Can we whip the South? |
57383 | Can you expedite the sending to Nashville of the recruits that are in Indiana and Ohio? |
57383 | Continuing, he said:"What more do the Southern States want? |
57383 | Could I get a hundred tolerably intelligent men, with their wives and children, and able to''cut their own fodder''so to speak? |
57383 | Could not such a camp be established about Pocotaligo or Coosawhatchie? |
57383 | Could not such escaped slaves find at least a partial supply of food in the rice- fields about Savannah, and cotton plantations on the coast? |
57383 | Could not your cavalry go back by the way of Stony Creek depot and destroy or capture the store of supplies there? |
57383 | Could the one, in any way, greatly disturb the seven? |
57383 | Davis, etc.? |
57383 | Do not its principles and theories become daily more fixed in our practice? |
57383 | Do we not know it to be so? |
57383 | Do we not know that they have been anxious for a change of Government for years? |
57383 | Do we not know this?" |
57383 | Do you mean that I am to concede the benefits of the political struggle through which we have passed, considered politically, only? |
57383 | Do you mean that I am to give up my convictions of right? |
57383 | Do you mean that we are to deny the great principle upon which our political action has been based? |
57383 | Do you suppose we shall do nothing, even upon the sea? |
57383 | Do you think differently? |
57383 | Do you visit the North in the Summer? |
57383 | Does it appear otherwise to you? |
57383 | Does not the Fugitive Slave Law affect the Black soldier in the Army who was a Slave? |
57383 | Does the Free Republic of the United States exist, in fact, to- day? |
57383 | Does timidity ask WHEN? |
57383 | From your Custom- houses? |
57383 | General Blair simply asked,"Do you like it?" |
57383 | General Grant remarked,"What is to prevent their laying the rails again?" |
57383 | General Halleck had a map on his table, with a large pencil in his hand, and asked,"where is the rebel line?" |
57383 | Governor of a State? |
57383 | Halleck was present and spoke up, saying:"How would Sheridan do?" |
57383 | Halleck''s telegram of last night says:"Who sent Smith''s division to Nashville? |
57383 | Has Congress any power over the subject of Slavery in Kentucky or Virginia or any other State of this Union? |
57383 | Has any thing been heard from the troops ordered from Vicksburg? |
57383 | Has he not stolen a march and sent re- enforcements toward Manassas Junction? |
57383 | Has it more waste surface by mountains, rivers, lakes, deserts, or other causes? |
57383 | Have any more troops arrived from Richmond, or are any more coming, or reported to be coming? |
57383 | Have we not at the South, as well as the North, grown great, prosperous, and happy under its operations? |
57383 | He asked me,"Where?" |
57383 | He dropped out of the retinue with an orderly, and after we had ridden a mile or so he overtook us, and I asked him,"What luck?" |
57383 | He inquired,"Why not both?" |
57383 | He remaining mounted, spoke first to me, saying simply,"How are you, Sheridan?" |
57383 | He said:"What is the use of your persevering? |
57383 | He then asked in his quizzical way,"Are you a foreign embassador?" |
57383 | He then said,"Have you any impudence?" |
57383 | He turned to me and said,"Ca n''t you take your regiment up there?" |
57383 | How can this be done? |
57383 | How can we feed and care for such a multitude? |
57383 | How can we, by conceding what you now ask, relieve you and the Country from the increasing pressure to which you refer? |
57383 | How did that side of the House vote on the question of arming Slaves and paying them as soldiers? |
57383 | How does it happen that we have not had unanimity enough to agree on any measure of that kind? |
57383 | How is he going to do it? |
57383 | How long have we been at War? |
57383 | How many letters of marque and reprisal would it take to put the whole of your ships up at your wharves to rot? |
57383 | How will he do it? |
57383 | How? |
57383 | I answered, rather shortly,''How the devil do you know there is a masked battery? |
57383 | I answered:"How can you go to New York? |
57383 | I asked Deshler:"What does this mean? |
57383 | I assured him with thanks that I was"first- rate,"when, pointing toward the village, he asked,"Is General Lee up there?" |
57383 | I had on my undress uniform indicating my rank, and inquired of the sentinel,"Is General Fremont up?" |
57383 | I presume that some one said to the Governor about this time,"Why do n''t you get Sheridan?" |
57383 | I said I had come to see him on business; and he added,"You do n''t suppose that he will see such as you?" |
57383 | I said to Mr. Pickens,''What next do you propose we shall do? |
57383 | I submit to you, my fellow- citizens, whether such a line of policy is consistent with the peace and harmony of the Country? |
57383 | I touched it and examined one or two of the larger pieces, and asked,"Is it gold?" |
57383 | If Hood goes to the Alabama line, will it not be impossible for him to subsist his army? |
57383 | If Rebellion and bloodshed and murder have followed, to whose skirts does the responsibility attach? |
57383 | If one man says it does not mean a Negro, why not say it does not mean some other man? |
57383 | If such persons have what will be an advantage to them, the question is, whether it can not be made of advantage to you? |
57383 | If the rebel leaders were to arm the slaves, what would be its effect? |
57383 | If you ca n''t get over, how can the rebels get at you?'' |
57383 | In answer to his compliments about the comfortable location I had made, I said:''Very comfortable, General, when shall we move on?'' |
57383 | In that event, could you stand the reaction feeling which the suffering commerce of Charleston would probably manifest? |
57383 | In that event, would it not be possible for you to become a citizen of our State? |
57383 | In what do our new Territories now differ in this respect from the old Colonies when Slavery was first planted within them? |
57383 | In what way can that Compromise be used to keep Lee''s Army out of Pennsylvania? |
57383 | Is he going to spend his life in maintaining a principle that no body on earth opposes? |
57383 | Is it doubted that it would restore the National authority and National prosperity, and perpetuate both indefinitely? |
57383 | Is it inferior to Europe in any natural advantage? |
57383 | Is it less fertile? |
57383 | Is it not a mere usurpation without any known mode of justification, under any existing Code of Laws, human or Divine?"] |
57383 | Is it not a time when the measure is most likely to produce danger and mischief to the Country at large? |
57383 | Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before? |
57383 | Is it worth our while to continue this union of States, where the North demands to be our masters and we are required to be their tributaries? |
57383 | Is that what you mean? |
57383 | Is there a single Court or Magistrate, or individual that would be influenced by it there? |
57383 | Is there no danger to the Tranquillity of the Country in its existence? |
57383 | Is there, has there ever been, any question that, by the Law of War, property, both of enemies and friends, may be taken when needed? |
57383 | It forces us to ask:''Is there in all republics, this inherent and fatal weakness?'' |
57383 | It has the sanction of God''s own Apostle; for when Paul sent back Onesimus to Philemon, whom did he send? |
57383 | It is only a week ago last Monday, that a Bill was introduced here to punish guerrillas*** and how did my colleague vote? |
57383 | Look to the illustrations which the times now afford, how, in the illustration of that sentiment, do we differ from the Black man? |
57383 | MAJOR- GENERAL THOMAS, Nashville, Tenn. Is there not danger of Forrest moving down the Cumberland to where he can cross it? |
57383 | Major Childs inquired,"Where is Coacoochee?" |
57383 | Major W. T. Sherman: Will you accept the chief clerkship of the War Department? |
57383 | Mason said to me,"What is that?" |
57383 | May it not interfere with the common Defense and general Welfare? |
57383 | May they not pronounce all Slaves Free? |
57383 | May they not think that these call for the abolition of Slavery? |
57383 | Member of Congress?" |
57383 | Mr. Lincoln*** more than once exclaimed:''Must more blood be shed? |
57383 | Mr. Lincoln, who was still standing, said,"Threatened to shoot you?" |
57383 | My friends, is it possible to preserve Peace between the North and the South if such a doctrine shall prevail in either Section of the Union? |
57383 | Not that he feared the North � but the South; how would the wayward, wilful, passionate South, receive his proffered olivef- branch? |
57383 | Now, what do we find? |
57383 | Now, who was it that did the work? |
57383 | Object whatsoever is possible, still the question recurs,''Can we do better? |
57383 | Of all the times when an attempt was ever made to carry this measure, is not this the most inauspicious? |
57383 | Of parties claiming foreign protection? |
57383 | Offering the flask to his uncle, he said:"You''ve had a hard day of it; wo n''t you refresh yourself?" |
57383 | Often"Johnny"would call:"Well, Yank, when are you coming into town?" |
57383 | One party to a contract may violate it � break it, so to speak; but does it not require all, to lawfully rescind it? |
57383 | Or would he conduct this War so feebly, that the whole World would smile at us in derision?" |
57383 | Others say:"What are we to do? |
57383 | Our position for renewing the action the next morning was excellent; whence, then, our failure? |
57383 | Pausing awhile, and watching the operations of this man roasting his corn, he said,"What are you doing?" |
57383 | President?'' |
57383 | Renick said,"What do you want with General Fremont?" |
57383 | Shall we send a flag of Truce? |
57383 | Sherman said to me:"Admiral, how could you make such a remark to McClernand? |
57383 | Should his request be granted, who would you like as his successor? |
57383 | Should we allow them to escape, etc.? |
57383 | Simply that a Constitutional Amendment shall be adopted, affirming � what? |
57383 | Sir, are they not words of brilliant, polished Treason, even in the very Capitol of the Nation? |
57383 | Sir, how can we make Peace? |
57383 | Sir, how can we retreat? |
57383 | Sir, is not this a remarkable spectacle? |
57383 | So that among the younger officers the query was very natural,"Who the devil is Governor of California?" |
57383 | So that the only questions that remained were, would he surrender at Raleigh? |
57383 | Some say:"I have such a one sick at my house; who will wait on them when I am gone?" |
57383 | State in what manner you would rather live-- whether scattered among the whites, or in colonies by yourselves? |
57383 | State what you understand by slavery, and the freedom that was to be given by the President''s proclamation? |
57383 | State what, in your opinion, is the best way to enlist colored men as soldiers? |
57383 | Suppose he does re- enact the same law which the Court has pronounced unconstitutional, will that make it Constitutional? |
57383 | The Governor knocked at the door, and on inquiry from inside"Who''s there? |
57383 | The immediate Secessionists, or those who are opposed to separate State action at this time? |
57383 | The next was,"What are WE to do?" |
57383 | The only question now was, how to get rid of it? |
57383 | The question, then, naturally arises, what are those rights and privileges, and what is the nature and extent of them? |
57383 | Then followed the question,"Is Fort McAllister taken?" |
57383 | These speeches of his, sown broadcast over the Land, what clear distinct meaning have they? |
57383 | This being so, how is it possible for the people still here( mostly women and children) to find any shelter? |
57383 | This feature was more than acceptable to the parents at times, for how else could they so thoroughly learn all the neighborhood gossip? |
57383 | To mob law, to partisan caucuses, to town meetings, to revolution? |
57383 | To whom shall you appeal? |
57383 | Tracy desiring"to know whether, in these Halls, the gentleman from Maryland invoked Almighty God that the American Arms should not prevail?" |
57383 | Upon what terms? |
57383 | WHAT NEXT? |
57383 | WHAT NEXT? |
57383 | WHAT NEXT? |
57383 | Warming up, he proceeded to say:"Can the Union be restored by War? |
57383 | Was it Mr. Clark? |
57383 | Was it that they believed a Monarchical form of government was incompatible with civil liberty? |
57383 | Was it that they were opposed to a Monarchical form of government? |
57383 | Was it the firing on our flag at Sumter? |
57383 | Was that the first adversary passage? |
57383 | We then returned to Benicia, and Wool''s first question was,"What luck?" |
57383 | Well, so much being disposed of, what is left? |
57383 | Well, suppose he is; what is he going to do about it? |
57383 | Were it his own, would he not have said in"making"it, instead of in"stating"it? |
57383 | What American is not proud of the result? |
57383 | What Commissioners? |
57383 | What better Compromise could have been made? |
57383 | What can I do for you?" |
57383 | What can it be? |
57383 | What could I do? |
57383 | What do those terms mean when used now? |
57383 | What do those terms mean? |
57383 | What good does it do to pass a second Act? |
57383 | What has become of it? |
57383 | What has become of that Squatter Sovereignty? |
57383 | What has been their course in regard to raising money to pay the Army? |
57383 | What has now become of all his tirade about''resistance to the Supreme Court?''" |
57383 | What is Popular Sovereignty? |
57383 | What is War? |
57383 | What is it? |
57383 | What more can any man demand? |
57383 | What more? |
57383 | What of future hopes? |
57383 | What of past glories? |
57383 | What should be done with them? |
57383 | What signified the terms to them, so long as we obtained the actual surrender of people who only wanted a good opportunity to give up gracefully? |
57383 | What then? |
57383 | What then? |
57383 | What was Squatter Sovereignty? |
57383 | What was to be done with the rebel armies when defeated? |
57383 | What were they but a clear indication that the framers of the Constitution intended and expected the ultimate extinction of that institution? |
57383 | What will become of Constitutional Government? |
57383 | What will become of public Liberty? |
57383 | What would be its fate there? |
57383 | What would he have? |
57383 | What would our condition be in the event of the greatest calamity that could befall this Nation?" |
57383 | What''vested right''has any man or State in Property in Man? |
57383 | When ground is owned by parties who have gone south, and have leased the ground to parties now in the city who own the improvements on the ground? |
57383 | When he did speak it was to ask:"Grant, how many wolves do you think there are in that pack?" |
57383 | When houses are occupied and the owner has gone south, leaving an agent to collect rent for his benefit? |
57383 | When houses are owned by loyal citizens, but are unoccupied? |
57383 | When movable property is found in stores that are closed? |
57383 | When parties owning houses have gone south, and the tenant has given his notes for the rent in advance? |
57383 | When parties who occupy the house are creditors of the owner, who has gone south? |
57383 | When the navigation laws cease to operate, what will become of your shipping interest? |
57383 | When the owner has gone south, and parties here hold liens on the property and are collecting the rents to satisfy their liens? |
57383 | When the owner lives in town, and refuses to take the oath of allegiance? |
57383 | When the tenant has expended several months''rent in repairs on the house? |
57383 | When this Tariff ceases to operate in your favor, and you have to pay for coming into our markets, what will you export? |
57383 | When your machinery ceases to move, and your operatives are turned out, will you tax your broken capitalist or your starving operative? |
57383 | Where are you?" |
57383 | Where is Rome, once the mistress of the World? |
57383 | Where is it? |
57383 | Where is the remedy when you refuse obedience to the constituted authorities?" |
57383 | Where is to be your boundary line? |
57383 | Where the end of the principles we shall have to give up? |
57383 | Which party will prevail? |
57383 | Who defeated it? |
57383 | Who ever supposed they would come away down here in Alabama?" |
57383 | Who have prompted him? |
57383 | Who heard of any such thing, because of the Ordinance of''87? |
57383 | Who is responsible for it? |
57383 | Who is so bold as to do it? |
57383 | Who shall treat? |
57383 | Who would go? |
57383 | Who, then, has brought these evils on the Country? |
57383 | Who, then, shall come in at this day and claim that he invented it? |
57383 | Whose fault was it? |
57383 | Why better after the retraction than before the issue? |
57383 | Why declare that within twenty years the African Slave Trade, by which Slaves are supplied, might be cut off by Congress? |
57383 | Why deprive him of supplies by a blockade, and voluntarily give him men to produce them? |
57383 | Why disguise this great truth? |
57383 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
57383 | Why do you not obey my orders to report strength and positions of your command? |
57383 | Why even a Senator''s individual opinion withheld, till after the Presidential election? |
57383 | Why is this so? |
57383 | Why may not our Country at some time, average as many? |
57383 | Why not attack at once? |
57383 | Why not save this Proposition, and see if we can not bring the Country to it?'' |
57383 | Why not? |
57383 | Why should they do anything for us if we will do nothing for them? |
57383 | Why the delay of a re- argument? |
57383 | Why the incoming President''s advance exhortation in favor of the decision? |
57383 | Why the outgoing President''s felicitation on the indorsement? |
57383 | Why this sad difference? |
57383 | Why was the Court decision held up? |
57383 | Why was the amendment, expressly declaring the right of the people, voted down? |
57383 | Why was this, or why was all mention of any field of duty for the head of the army left out of the army regulations? |
57383 | Why were all these acts? |
57383 | Will he be able to convince the Court that the second Act is valid, when the first is invalid and void? |
57383 | Will he shrink from armed Insurrection? |
57383 | Will his State justify it? |
57383 | Will it be said the South required in addition to this, laws of Congress to protect Slavery in the Territories? |
57383 | Will its better public opinion allow it? |
57383 | Will liberation make them any more numerous? |
57383 | Will that do any good? |
57383 | Will that success continue? |
57383 | Will the Senator yield to Rebellion? |
57383 | Will the galling comparison between themselves and their masters leave them unenlightened in this respect? |
57383 | Will you not embrace it? |
57383 | Will you not embrace it? |
57383 | Wo n''t you speak your mind freely on this question of slavery, that so agitates the land? |
57383 | Would it be less than stealing?" |
57383 | Would my word free the Slaves, when I can not even enforce the Constitution in the Rebel States? |
57383 | Would we not be in the wrong?" |
57383 | Would you not lose that in which your strength consists, the union of your people? |
57383 | You ask, what is the general''s opinion, upon this subject? |
57383 | You here are Freemen, I suppose? |
57383 | You will ask in this view, how do you consult the benefit of the slaves? |
57383 | and will they not be warranted by that power? |
57383 | and"whether it is in order to talk Treason in this Hall? |
57383 | are we to tell the People that Republicanism is a failure? |
57383 | because of the Missouri Restriction because of the numerous Court decisions of that character? |
57383 | but,''Can we all do better?'' |
57383 | or is it not manifest that there is no just title? |
57383 | or one hundred million or five hundred million dollars? |
57383 | said Mr. Lincoln,"how are they getting along down there?" |
57383 | said a listener,"do n''t you know that old Sherman carries a duplicate tunnel along?" |
57383 | what do you export? |
57383 | what more than we have expressed in the resolutions we have offered? |
57383 | where are they to come from?" |
57383 | where will their revenue come from? |
57383 | why have not the People of that Heaven- favored clime, the spirit that animated their fathers? |
57383 | will you work? |
57383 | � said Davies �"and can they get through that road?" |
