39199Is this the way you show them the delicacy of the Spaniard?"
39199Methuen& Co. Ltd. 36 Essex Street W.C. London First Published in 1911 FOREWARNING"I hear you think of spending the winter in the Balearic Islands?"
39199Or is it some inherent faculty that teaches children the edible fruits?
39199Or was Francisca merely afraid that he might prove faithless?
39199Or was it because her lover was ill, or in danger by land or sea?
39199Shall I introduce you?"
39199So we lived in Palma?"
39199Spanish?
39199The captain?
39199Throwing out his hands he said humorously:--"Who knows?
39199To what could the notice refer?
39199Was it to avert the fatal issue of some illness of her own?
39199What could it be?
39199Will that do?"
39199Would it be possible for the Man to do a sketch-- just the smallest jotting-- of Antonia, as a memento of the occasion?
39199Would that suit?"
39199Would there be a chance of our getting a house here?"
39199Would we like to see it?
39199[ Illustration: Deyá]"What is this you do?"
39199said pretty Mrs. Consul,"what about the house the Major left last week?
39246Do you know what it is to be truly spiritual? 39246 Sin el vivo calor, sin el fecundo Rayo de la ilusión consoladora ¿ Que fuera de la vida y del mundo?"
39246Again, if this small state were independent, where would she stand?
39246And in what country but democratic Spain would a bishop stroll out with canons and grandees to while away a friendly hour with a miller?
39246Are the stars not inhabited?
39246At the church door the king met her and escorted her in honor, for was not her husband away fighting the infidel for his monarch?
39246Could these enchanting little people belong to the same race, and live only a hundred and fifty miles away?
39246Did not the Asturian lady, the duenna of the Duchess, remark to Don Quixote that her husband was_ hidalgo como el Rey porque era montañés_?
39246Does he portray a degraded race, finger on lips whispering,"Hush, or you will be overheard"?
39246Does not lack of comprehension of old usages often mean lack of the shaping power of the imagination?
39246Does this not give the key to the Escorial?
39246During the French invasion, Gerona stood a siege as terrific as any in history, yet who of us has heard of it?
39246From whence, let me ask, have come this power of hers and these excessive riches except from the enchantment into which she threw all the world?
39246Had he lived would Spain''s evil day have been averted?
39246Had we met the archæologist of the province, a canon in the Cathedral?
39246Had we seen the asylum near Santiago where the insane are treated with such success that noted cures had been obtained?
39246He feels he is loyal to his God, to his King, and to himself,--what better standards can you have?
39246If Alfonso XIII gives his intelligence and life- blood to his people, who can foresee to what heights this strong, uncontaminated race may climb?
39246Is it any wonder Spain can win affection with her good and her evil lying close beside each other in a grand primitive way?
39246Is that business?"
39246Is the poetry of Juan de la Cruz, Luis de León and the prose of Teresa, the work of souls who feared to adore their God freely?
39246Is there any wonder that a people who can claim two such heroines look at one with fearless eyes?
39246Is this province, Spain''s richest and most progressive, to continue under the Spanish crown, to ally herself with France, or to be independent?
39246It was so cluttered that I could hardly get oriented; where was the nave?
39246Jerusalem, Rome, Santiago,--perhaps this claims too much for the Spanish pilgrimage shrine?
39246Secure you ask: Does peace, Or restless seeking plaint come with your wealth''s increase?
39246Should not a poet be judged by his best lines?
39246Should not this act of farseeing wisdom, be set against his stern treatment of the Moors?
39246So confusing was it I could not at first tell by what door we had entered, where was the east, where was the west end?
39246The chatter and movement made me ask, could this be a Spanish church, where irreverence is unknown?
39246Then the Retreat began,--did we know what"the Exercises"were?
39246Two men from the northern mountains meet:"You too are from Asturias?"
39246We began to ask ourselves if this noisy excitement commemorated a solemn time, what would the following week of the Fair be like?
39246Were you asleep that you did not clap this independent thinker into your capacious dungeons?
39246What is it about Spanish ways that makes most Englishmen so pessimistic over her?
39246What were they doing, these cloistered people?
39246When a race can produce in a short fifty years a Pereda, a Valera, a Menéndez y Pelayo, have we the right to call it spent and out of the running?
39246Who was the soul of this indomitable fortitude?
39246Whoever heard of going faster than twenty miles an hour and what more natural than to wait in a station between trains half a night?
39246Why have so few to- day the old- time spaciousness of vision?
39246Why is not their advice followed?
39246Why must a different justice be meted out to Spain?
39246Why must an image in wig and jewels blind one to the remarkable carved statues found side by side with it?
39246Will not Mr. Gilbert Chesterton go there and study some day her untamable grand old qualities and describe her as she should be described?
39246Will the young king of Spain to- day show the world that Isabella''s heritage is worth the claiming?
39246Will"progress"unsettle it?
39246Would Benedict Arnold be accepted as an authority on the American Revolution?
39246Would Catalonia gain by any of the changes she dreams of?
39246he assured us, too polite to ask the question that showed in his voice,--why were two ladies seeking a dismal spot such as Alcántara?
39246we thought, after the strong old Gothic of Burgos, is Valladolid going to be just barren like its Cathedral and chaotic like its University?
39246which were the transepts?
10924Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?
10924But are not people sick in Quarantine?
10924But how is it that the effendis do not speak Turkish?
10924From there,said François, pointing behind us"Where are you going?"
10924Is it true that the angels carry blunderbusses?
10924That effendi in the blue dress,said he,"is the Bey, is he not?"
10924What do you call running away?
10924What is Quarantine for, then?
10924What is it for?
10924What is the name of this village?
10924Where do you come from?
10924Why do n''t you have the ship headed to the wind?
10924Why does she leave, then?
10924Why will he disturb me?
10924Will no one,I cried in distress,"cast out this devil that has possession of me?"
10924Yes,said F."And the other, with the striped shirt and white turban, is a writer?"
10924''Oh, is that all?''
10924''What do you want?''
10924''What does the King want with me?''
10924("Is this the way to Moudania?
10924After having performed one of his feats, he turns around with a droll glance at us, as much as to say:"Did you see that?"
10924And: How many leagues from here to the Land of Heavenly Glory?''
10924Augmented by the rain which had fallen, and which seemed to increase as night came on, how could I hope to cross it on the morrow?
10924But what is this?
10924François and I talked entirely in Arabic, and the old man asked:"Who are these Hadjis?"
10924How can the sea be made smaller?
10924How did Phidias charm the Cerberus of his animal nature to sleep, while his soul entered the Elysian Fields and beheld the forms of heroes?
10924How did Plato philosophize without the pipe?
10924How did gray Homer, sitting on the temple- steps in the Grecian twilights, drive from his heart the bitterness of beggary and blindness?
10924How many arrobas does the moon weigh?
10924I then repeated, with as much distinctness as I could command:"Did-- you-- leave-- Jaffa-- to- day?"
10924I thought;"he thinks he is dying, but what is death to madness?
10924I was sauntering slowly along, asking myself"Is this Jerusalem?"
10924Is there any piece of water more unreasonably, distressingly, disgustingly rough and perverse than the British Channel?
10924It is generally supposed that they were intended as tombs: but of whom?
10924My curiosity was now in a way of being satisfied; the Spirit( demon, shall I not rather say?)
10924Out of fairyland where shall I see again such lovely bowers?
10924Passing through the gate and square of Vivarrambla( may not this name come from the Arabic_ bob er- raml,_ the"gate of the sand?
10924Restraining with difficulty a shout of laughter, I said to him:"Did you leave Jaffa to- day?"
10924Shall I cast myself down headlong?
10924Shall I ever feel it again?
10924The road was well travelled, and by asking everybody we met:"_ Bou yôl Moudania yedermi_?"
10924This is Baalbec: what have you to say?
10924Those snow- white cones, uprearing their sharp spires, and spreading out their broad bases-- what could they be but an encampment of monster tents?
10924Was it a Faun, astray among the hills?
10924Was it possible that I was in Judea?
10924Was this the Holy Land of the Crusades, the soil hallowed by the feet of Christ and his Apostles?
10924What is it that he ca n''t do?
10924When he had put down the lamp, he tried''the door, and asked me:"Have you the key?"
10924Where on the earth shall we find a panorama more magnificent?
10924Who says he ca n''t go as far as that limping horse?
10924Who says he''s not fine gold from head to foot?
10924Will your Excellencies take coffee after your dinner?"
10924have you heard the Mountain?
10924he exclaimed;"did you ever see the like?"
10924is this the dawn of the glorious sun, or is it the full moon?"
10924said I,"do you examine twice on entering Seville?"
10924what can you do?''
10924where are the ships of Tyre?"
10924why are you running away from me?"
43705And you find the wounds of Cupid more incurable than those of Bellona?
43705Are you serious?
43705But have you not heard from time to time of the welfare of your Manuela?
43705But twelve hours, say you?
43705Dead?
43705Do you smoke? 43705 How did he know I was the owner?
43705Is it_ Etica_?
43705Is n''t there every convey''nance?
43705It is: wherefore?
43705Mad?
43705What absurd sophistry is this?
43705What then, my good Antonio,_ is_ the nature of her malady?
43705What,said I, my patience thoroughly exhausted,"has she embraced Mohammedanism?"
43705Where are we to find money? 43705 Where is my wife?"
43705You are quite certain he does not understand Spanish?
43705_ Disparate!_[136] exclaimed the wife;"what does his_ mapeando_ signify if he is an Englishman?
43705_ Ingles?_demanded she, returning to the charge.
43705_ Quien es?_demanded the soldiers from within.
43705''What are you at_ now_?''
43705''_ Juicio!_ señor,''replied the Mayor;''do you not see that I am at dinner?''
43705But what right have those men to say, this is just, and that is unlawful?
43705Could a people so noted for honour, chivalry, gratitude, and every known virtue, be guilty of so bare- faced an imposition?
43705Do the trees yearly yield us their fruits by chance?
43705Do you not look forward to behold again to- morrow the bright luminary round which this atom of a world revolves?
43705Has a single_ known_ opera ever been produced there?
43705Has any work of man, however cunningly devised, in like manner withstood the effects of time?
43705He was a wag, however, and answered my"Why do you keep your pigs here?"
43705I asked;"are you sure she is yet unmarried?"
43705I exclaimed,"have I not been pardoned?
43705I exclaimed;"_ Why_ was I born in sin?
43705I hastily demanded--"my child, where is he?"
43705If so, how is it that this accidental atom-- this globe we inhabit, has so long held together_ without_ accident?
43705Is it not true, Don Diego, that that rocky path beyond Alcalà is called the road to the infernal regions?"
43705Is it not true, good father?
43705Is not her church music all borrowed?
43705Is not the protecting hand of the Deity clearly perceptible in the unvarying continuance of these phenomena?
43705Is not the trifling guitar the only instrument the Spaniard is really master of?
43705Is not the_ Sostenuto_ bellow of the_ arriero_ almost the only approach to melody that the peasant ever attempts?
43705Is the punctual return of the seasons a mere casualty?
43705Now the question is, Can the ground about Monda be made to agree with these various premises?
43705Suppose I make another attempt to find out from himself what brings him here?"
43705Tell me, I implore you-- what horrible misfortune has befallen?"
43705The Don kept his seat, and coolly asked, whether I thought they could not make as good saddles, and cut as short tails, in Spain?
43705The superior officer of the party had directed, however, that he should not be ill- treated;"what if he be the son of the_ old wild boar_?"
43705We were at the fork of the roads leading from those two places to_ Casa Vieja_, but on which should we direct our march?
43705What is man, I argued, that I should not despoil him, if he possess that which I covet?
43705What should deter me from taking his life, if he stand between me and that which I desire?
43705What, then, has occasioned this delay?"
43705Where are we to look for security?"
43705Why led to commit crime?
43705[ 137] Is it not the same as if a Spaniard were doing it, only that it will be better done?"
43705[ 63] Are they English?
43705are they not our best friends?
43705exclaimed one of the----''s suite, addressing me,"Is your name Blas Maldonado?"
43705he replied,"why came you not earlier?"
43705how can we make him comfortable?"
43705how could that be?
43705murdered?
43705precisely in the words that an Irish peasant replied to a very similar question, viz.,"But am I to have the company of the pig?"
43705put to him by a friend of mine, who had a billet for a night''s lodging on his cabin: to wit,"_ No hay toda comodidad_?"
43705were the answers given to_ my_ question,"Why not?"
31532An accident, driver?
31532And who is this speculator in bloodshed?
31532By- the- bye,said the Shereefa,"do you know any of those people who write for the papers in London?"
31532Driver, why did you not resist?
31532His Highness understands English?
31532How are you, captain?
31532How is Don Guillermo?
31532Is it true that you pardoned two?
31532Is not that arbitrary?
31532Is the Shereef on friendly terms with the Sultan?
31532Maurice, are there any pretty girls here?
31532Monsieur wants a shallop to go to France?
31532What Don Guillermo?
31532What answer did they give to his application for employment?
31532What are those ruins upon the Spanish shore for?
31532Where are you going, may I ask?
31532Where to now?
31532Who is your friend?
31532Who or what is that gentleman?
31532Who the deuce are you? 31532 Who''ll start the conversation?"
31532Who? 31532 Will he understand you?"
31532Will you give in to them?
31532Your papers, señor?
31532( to myself mentally)"if the august Muley can not brook an English saddle, what must he think of an English wife?
31532A cry of"Who goes there?"
31532Again came the sentinel''s cry,"What people?"
31532And Santa Cruz?
31532And then I meandered back, and began to ask myself, had Marryat aught to do with the sponsorship of this outpost of the British Empire?
31532Are things better now?"
31532Barbarossa-- Royalist- Republicans-- Squaring a Girl-- At Iron--"Your Papers?"
31532Barbarossa-- Royalist- Republicans-- Squaring a Girl-- At Irun--"Your Papers?"
31532But are not those Republicans who affect that they know how to govern a country primarily and principally to blame?
31532But if he who smites his enemy secretly is accursed, what is he who smites his neighbour and then flees away like a coward in the dark?
31532But is there not something inimitable in the epithet"rebels"?
31532But the son of Israel when he has a taste for finery( and which of them has not?)
31532Cabrera?"
31532Did I not see you take a boat for the_ San Margarita_ at Socoa?"
31532Did I want a shallop?
31532Did not a company of"bhoys"trudge over to Lesaca to offer their services recently?
31532Did they fear that Belcha might take a fancy to their probes and forcipes?
31532Do you wonder that I began weaving a romance?
31532Do you wonder that I followed her with joy?
31532Does the reader reflect how many wars we have had in the pacific half- century which is lapsing?
31532Don Carlos.--"You have served before?"
31532Had these Carlists any glimmer of the sunshine of a victorious issue to their uprising?
31532Have they no consideration for the feelings of others?"
31532He was four months here, and how far did he get into the interior?"
31532How do I know this?
31532How were they to distinguish a neutral or a sympathizer from their foes?
31532In the same company with my brother, perhaps?"
31532Is he not twice and thrice wicked, and to be branded with malediction deeper still?
31532Is it not disgraceful to them?
31532It may be said, why did I not take copious notes in short- hand?
31532No, this is not the Christian, but the Carlist religion''?"
31532Not if fair mysteries like my friend crop up there; but where is she, by- the- way?
31532Now I think of it, there is an inadvisability in my calling them insurgents while in their power; but what phrase am I to employ?
31532Of what were their thoughts-- of home and friends, of the flutters of the casino or the ecstasies of the bull- ring?
31532Or do these Moslems, like some Christians I know, strain at a gnat and swallow a camel?
31532Porqué?"
31532She has been very unhappy, has she not?
31532Still, what were they to do?
31532The Guardia Civil were true to duty, but when the crisis came, what could they do any more than their comrades at Malaga?
31532The association of surcoats of mail and rope slippers is incongruous; but what does that reck?
31532The only question is, Who are the constituted authorities?
31532This may have been a breach of neutrality, but what was I to do?
31532Was it you?"
31532Were they all Republicans?
31532What business had it to be so straight and clean and airy?
31532What could he want to be happy but the love of his people?"
31532What do you want here?"
31532What has that to do with me?
31532What if I had to go to Madrid while such weather as this was brooding?
31532What were these gentlemen to do?
31532What will you?
31532Where did you spring from?"
31532Who dares to deny it?
31532Why does he not repel the impeachment?"
31532Why not again?
31532Why not make pilgrimage to the other?
31532Why should I not visit it?
31532Why should I?"
43378And how many of the_ facciosos_ may there be at Grazalema?
43378And in what force?
43378And is he a man of such determination as report says?
43378And what is_ your_ name, friend?
43378And where did you leave this redoubtable Blas?
43378Blas who, did your excellency say?
43378Can you not,he rejoined,"communicate this to them by letter?
43378Can you write?
43378Did you ever_ see_ me before,demanded my astonished friend,"that you ask me to do this?"
43378Do they smoke?
43378Do you know one Beltran Galindiz?
43378Has he then met the punishment so repeatedly due to his crimes? 43378 His_ fate_?
43378I can probably give you a better account of it than_ they_,said I;"therefore, tell me first what sort of men are they?
43378Is_ he_ faithful to your cause, think you?
43378Tell me first,said I,"do you know those_ gavachos_?
43378That firing must be the skirmishing of Melchor''s party,observed Beltran;"had we not better move on?"
43378Well, Alitéa,said I,"will you return to your father and luxury, or remain to share the poverty of your husband?
43378Were no prisoners made?
43378What description of dance? 43378 What is this?"
43378What want ye of me?
43378When?
43378Where does he say?
43378Who is he,inquired Abenhabuz from within,"that thus unannounced requires entry?
43378Why, I thought you had dispersed them altogether?
43378Yes,_ Señor Critico_,he replied,"but have not houses walls?"
43378You have prudently taken care to have ready the Spanish translation of the French,I observed.--"And so you were yourself in the_ melée_, then?"
43378_ Jesus!_[91]_ Don Carlos_--would exclaim many of my bright- eyed acquaintances--"why were you not at the Bull fight?"
43378_ My companions said to me,''Do you visit her monument?'' 43378 _ Q''uest ce qu''il dit?_"asked the governor, turning to his aide- de- camp.
43378--"And who the deuce is Hoodah?"
43378Are not her shores studded with ruins of the Phoenicians, Carthagenians, and Romans?
43378But how know you,_ Tio_, that his father joined the French?"
43378But how should_ they_ know of my arrival?
43378But what human works are all perfect?
43378But what will not envy stoop to do?
43378But, discovering by our next, more explicit demand,"what can you give us?"
43378Can she not boast of owning monuments of the demi- god Hercules,[2] and other conquerors of the most remote antiquity?
43378Could Alonzo''s illness be feigned?
43378Could I have acted otherwise?
43378Could any sway be more absolute than that of the Spanish sovereigns of the House of Hapsburg?
43378Could it be a mere device of the French to detain me in the_ guet à pans_ of Grazalema, whilst they surrounded me?
43378Did the extraordinary influx of the precious ores, consequent on the discovery of America, occasion her gradual downfall?
43378Did the impolitic expulsion of the Jews and Moors from her territory lead to it?
43378Does the blighting influence of Popery reply to the two- fold query?
43378Does the vacillating rule of Despotism solve the problem?
43378Has his last act of disloyalty to his king and country-- of which I have had tidings-- brought him to the gallows?"
43378Has she not noble works of art of yet more recent times than her Moorish palaces to boast of?
43378I almost fear, however, to ask-- didst thou receive my message?"
43378I ejaculated,"does the old villain attempt to clear his own conscience by accusing me, who have been the innocent victim of his crimes?
43378I exclaimed,"did he not join the French army with his father?"
43378Is it a vile renegade that taunts me with the disfigurement of an honourable wound?
43378Is not the Spanish peninsula one of the most beautiful as well as richest countries in the world?
43378May she not proudly point to the splendid gothic edifices raised since her release from the Mussulman yoke?
43378Pray tell me;_ when_ did this happen?
43378Say, I beseech you, stranger, who are you?"
43378Suppose, however, as their accounts differ so widely, we first have our two spies confronted?"
43378That would be----""But your religion?"
43378The landlady''s reply to our first question,"what can we have?"
43378They were such, nevertheless, as I could depend upon whilst fortune favoured me; and what is friendship after all?
43378Think you a couple of resolute fellows could master them readily?"
43378Very true-- but surely some allowance is due, considering their want of such breakneck sights as horse- races and steeple- chases?
43378Was it astonishing,_ caballeros_, that such black ingratitude should meet with a heavy punishment?
43378Was it in human nature to spurn so confiding, so affectionate a being?
43378Was it possible that my own secretary-- the son of my adoption-- Pépé el_ Alamin_--was it possible that_ he_ would betray me?
43378Was life any longer worth preserving?
43378Was not that true, Caballeros?
43378Was the industrious husbandman to be contented with rags and tatters, whilst lazy priests were clothed in silks and brocade?
43378What keeps her-- gifted as she is by nature with all the germs of prosperity-- in her present state of degradation?
43378What sound is that?
43378Who can fully answer the yet more simple questions-- What_ led_ to the downfall of Spain?
43378Who can_ now_ foresee the day that, phoenix- like, she may arise from her ashes?
43378Who will deny that these things called for a change in the institutions of my country?
43378Will you, therefore, oblige me by carrying them in for me, and lodging them at the house of---- and Co.?"
43378Would it be possible to frame a more liberal constitution than that of 1820?
43378You must, however, I fear, be ill provided with cavalry, since you have been so soon sent again on duty after such sharp service?"
43378[ 146] Dost thou know me?
43378[ 162] Tell him I have some friends with me-- English_ officers_; is it not so?"
43378[ 166]"_ What about Religion?
43378[ 186] I interrupted the Señor Blas here, asking him if Valencia was not an_ open city_?

43378and his intention to betray me?
43378and what became of the pious man?"
43378asked the governor, addressing his secretary--"_à Meca?
43378but I answered,''Where but in my heart should she have a tomb?
43378did that miscreant add to his crimes by joining the ranks of the vile enemies of our country?
43378ejaculated Don Benito;"has the infamous villain crowned all his iniquities by so horrible a crime?"
43378exclaimed the youth,"is it a Spaniard who pillages a dying countryman?
43378he exclaimed, starting upon his legs, as if newly invigorated with the breath of life;"is it my Fernando?
43378ne m''avez vous pas dit cela auparavant?_""Because I was never asked the question, please your excellency."
43378or, that has walked the streets of London for a week, since cabs and omnibuses have been introduced?
43378replied he;"then to answer you with another proverb--''_à perro viejo no has tus tus_''[190]--how can I serve you?"
43378said I,"and what has he been about?"
43378sans phrases!_ you know this Blas well?"
43378to the incomparable paintings of the divine Murillo?
43378to the statuary of a Cano?
43378what further proof is required of his being so?
18764''And from Mekka to Jerusalem?'' 18764 ''And thence to the second heaven?''
18764''And you are really circumcised? 18764 ''Canst thou play chess?''
18764''Did he find his bed still warm on his return?'' 18764 ''Dost thou think such a thing possible; to travel three thousand five hundred years and back, and find one''s bed still warm on returning?''
18764''How long did this take?'' 18764 ''In his famous ride on El Borak[ Lightning] where did Mohammed go?''
18764''Is he mad?'' 18764 ''Then, wilt thou play with me?''
18764''Thence to the fifth?'' 18764 ''Thence to the fourth?''
18764''Thence to the seventh?'' 18764 ''Thence to the sixth?''
18764''Thence to the third?'' 18764 ''Who''s there?''
18764''Why is the defendant not here?'' 18764 ''Wouldst thou know them if you sawst them?''
18764And in the night time?
18764And what happens to him in the day time?
18764And when abroad?
18764And when at home?
18764But how does this poor fellow come in for it?
18764But what has that to do with the gun?
18764Canst read, O Moses?
18764Dost suppose that my master is a dog of a Nazarene, that he should keep his word to thee? 18764 Enough?
18764For how much?
18764How can I befriend you?
18764How did he die?
18764How did you lose your property?
18764How doest thou?
18764How dost thou find thyself this morning?
18764How fares thy house?
18764Is any incredulous here? 18764 Is it not so?"
18764Is nothing wrong with thee?
18764Is that So- and- so?
18764My home? 18764 No ill, praise God; and thyself, O Sáïd?"
18764Now, my friends, which among you will do business with the palms of all these faithful ones? 18764 Now, where is the good man and true who reveres the name of this holy one?
18764Oh, indeed, so you like the Christians?
18764So? 18764 The kaïd was there, and when he saw us he exclaimed,''There you are, are you?
18764Thou know''st my complaint and my only cure: Why, then, wilt thou heal me not? 18764 Well, how now?"
18764Well, what dost thou want?
18764What for?
18764What will you do with your palace when you leave it?
18764What? 18764 Who art thou?"
18764Who is willing to yield himself wholly and entirely to Mulai Abd el Káder? 18764 Who says they are harmless?
18764Who wishes to have a good conscience and a clean heart? 18764 Why run,"they ask,"when you might just as well walk?
18764Wonderest thou still, O Bashador, that I prefer the Nazarenes, and wish there were more of them in the country? 18764 _ Have_ I?
18764''Dost thou think me a fool, to come here to discuss the science of religion, and to be put off with a game of chess?''
18764''O victorious of God,''they with one voice replied,''since God, the High and Blessed, is our King, what have we to fear?
18764''Who mayest_ thou_ be,''they asked,''who dost not wish peace to the Resigned?''
18764("And when at home?'')
18764= FOREWORD= Which of us has yet forgotten that first day when we set foot in Barbary?
18764A creaky voice here breaks in from round the corner--"Hast thou not a copper for the sake of the Lord?"
18764A piece is leisurely handed down, and the customer inquires in a disparaging tone,"How much?"
18764After the usual salutations have been exchanged, the eager inquiry is made,"Is there a steamer yet?"
18764Against such methods who can compete?
18764And in the majority of cases there is at least a question: What were the victims doing there?
18764And what has Mulai Abd El Azîz replied to French complaints and demands respecting the now historical dismissal of the military_ attachés_?
18764And why, lying down, keep your eyes open?"
18764As already agreed, the Nazarene was the first to question:"''How far is it from the Earth to the first heaven?''
18764But as this is only a means to an end, who can tell what that may be?
18764But what can one expect with such a standard of honour?
18764But what chances have they?
18764Can they have realized what it all means?
18764Can we shut our eyes to the deliberate provocations they are giving the Makhzen in almost every part of the sultanate?
18764Could ever bell send thrill like that?
18764Did they kill your father?"
18764Had not thirty- four correspondents descended on Tangier alone, each with expenses to meet?
18764Had they not done so, who would answer for the consequences?
18764How can I tell thee where that was, when I was brought away so early?
18764How convince such people that brigandage is an art unknown south of the Oom Rabya?
18764How could it be otherwise?
18764I am often asked,"What would a Moor think of this?"
18764In spite of all our comfortable ca nt about justice to less powerful races, who in England cares about justice to Morocco and her Sultan?
18764Is it thus thou beginnest the world?
18764It was a fine present, was it not, Bashador?
18764Now, who knows?
18764Presently your scattered thoughts are recalled by a chirping voice from within--"Who''s that?"
18764Shall I try it on thee?"
18764That the prayer of the Shluh, when a Nazarene visits their land, is that nothing may happen to bring trouble on the clan?
18764The inscription on their marble tomb in the church above tells how that the Moors having been conquered and heresy stamped out(?
18764Then comes a policeman, a makházni, who seats himself amid a shower of salutations--"Hast thou any more of those selháms"( hooded cloaks)?
18764What avails it that grace of a generation''s span is allowed them, that they may not individually suffer from the change?
18764What can you give me?"
18764What is the pleasure of my Lord?"
18764What is your trouble?"
18764What might he not do next?
18764What more could be wished?
18764What next?"
18764When both cease for lack of breath, after a brief pause the new arrival asks,"Have you any of that''Merican?"
18764Where else did Rome find so near a match, and what wars cost her more than did those of Africa?
18764Where would they have stopped?
18764Who has heard, who wants to hear, the Moorish side of the question?
18764Who says their fangs are extracted?"
18764Who will dedicate himself from the soles of his feet to the crown of his head?
18764Who will say a prayer to Mulai Abd el Káder?"
18764Why should we trouble them?
18764Why sit, when lying down gives so much more rest?
18764Why stand, when sitting is so much less fatiguing?
18764Why walk, when standing would do?
18764Will they never cease?
18764Would they ever have been driven out, or would St. Paul''s have been a second Kûtûbîya, and Westminster a Karûeeïn?
18764_ Sultan._"How much does he ask?"
18764_ Sultan._"Is there anything I can do for such good friends?"
18764_ Sultan._"What sort of place is that on the Marshan?"

18764what is that weird, low sound which strikes upon our ear and interrupts our musings?
40776''Frou- Frou''?

40776But why did you arrest him?
40776But,he persisted,"you do n''t mean to say that you are that kind of persons?
40776But,said Jan at last to Coneni,"can you not dance a Spanish dance?"
40776But,said Luis,"have you not by chance a disc of Spanish music?
40776But,said the doctor''s wife in amazement,"if you wish to find out something about anybody, how do you do so?
40776But,they said,"we wonder if she knows where to come for her things when she does arrive?"
40776C''est très amusant, hein?

40776Why have you come to my dram shop?
40776Why not? 40776 Why?"
40776You are book people?
40776Adam bit the apple, and we pay his debts, but why load ourselves with compound interest at many hundreds per cent.?
40776After all was over they said to us:"Was n''t it a beautiful fiesta?"
40776And how do you carry on conversations?"
40776And were n''t you terribly frightened yesterday, going down into the bulls?
40776Are you doing this for the cinematograph?
40776Are your father and mother alive?
40776But if you say something different from''cebollas,''how can I know that you need cebollas?"
40776But where then was the Spanish dancing?
40776Ca n''t you hear?
40776Ca n''t you see that in a minute you''ll bring the whole place down?
40776Come, who will dance with me?"
40776Did you know that?"

38767Is it worth the toothache?
38767Is the express gone?"
38767It takes time, but if time is filled with human kindliness and social courtesies, why not?
38767Keep thy wife and keep thy daughters, What care I for them?
38767Ladies and gentlemen, will you please walk out to dinner?"
38767Life is very sweet, brother; who would wish to die?''
38767Maxims on love, culled chiefly from French authorities, are succeeded by an eighteenth- century love- catechism:--"_ Question._ Art thou a lover?
38767My sister''s grave is pretty, is it not?
38767No Rare Ben Jonson has thundered in his ears:--"Art thou a man?
38767Now is the Pink your leader, Or go you with the Rose?
38767Now is the Rose your leader, Or go you with the Pink?
38767Now, truly, truly, were you not the least bit frightened that morning of the battle?"
38767Of the art galleries, who can say enough?
38767Oh,''tis a secret, The fourth?
38767One day a mischievous impulse led me to inquire, in connection with a chat about the Escorial,"And how do you like Philip II?"
38767Or shall we put thee in a sugar- bowl and send thee back to mamma?"
38767Right or wrong?
38767Seventy- five_ centimos_?
38767Should a king dictate the fashion of a man''s garments?
38767Sir Priest, Sir Priest, now tell us aright, In whose house did you sleep last night?
38767Sixty_ centimos_?
38767That is not so bad a way to die, is it?
38767The sons?
38767Then a customer wanders by, asking,"Who sells honey- jars?"
38767This or the other?
38767Titirinela, bread and cheese:''What is your father''s worshipful name?''
38767To practise such a servile kind of life?
38767True or false?
38767Was he not ashamed and troubled?
38767We approached a factory and asked of the workman at the entrance,"What do you manufacture here?"
38767We had a hundred reasons for lingering-- but what are reasons?
38767Were the children troublesome to- day?"
38767What are these creatures, to be punished so?"
38767What can the rabble know of the mysterious compoundings and touchings from which sprang these splendors of color that outshine the centuries?
38767What country outblooms Andalusia?"
38767What do friars do?
38767What do you want, matarile, rile, ron?
38767What enemy has he now to guard against with that array of bolts and bars?
38767What gives thy spirit pain?
38767What is time for?
38767What matter?
38767What more does a mortal want?
38767What should it be?
38767What use in anything?
38767What will the devil say to that?
38767What will we play?
38767What will you give him, matarile, rile, ron?
38767What wo n''t the rascals dare?
38767Where art thou, on the wing?''
38767Where is the rain?
38767Where may it be?
38767Where was the army of Isabel II defeated?
38767Where were the stately ranks of Montserrat?
38767Whither away?''
38767Who cares?
38767Who could remember dollars?
38767Who cut them, who?
38767Who dares to tread-- O Within the shadow?"
38767Who has not heard of that unlucky woman, who, after spinning late and long, stepped to the window for a breath of air exactly at twelve o''clock?
38767Who knows where Roderick sleeps?
38767Who shall draw the line between faith and superstition?
38767Who washed my handkerchief?
38767Who were we that would creep into Compostela de Santiago under cover of night, in an irregular conveyance piled high with trunks and boxes?
38767Who will eat them up?
38767Who''ll bring a taper For the Blind Hen?
38767Why is that good?
38767Why not take the cab for the hour and look up a procession on our way to the station?
38767Why should any one think that Spaniards are cruel?"
38767Why should ladies be going to Galicia?
38767Why under the fanciful moon should I set my heart on Calderon?
38767Why?''
38767Will all the dexterity of foot- police and mounted guards ever succeed in disentangling this snarl of equipages?
38767Will no one give us word of him?
38767Will you not do your humble servant the honor of coming to- morrow afternoon?"
38767Will you take my cloak?
38767Would it never end?
38767Yet some pain is necessary in everything, is it not?
38767Yet when the devil has that soul, will he find it made of gold?"
38767You are a heretic, and like my figure, do you not?
38767You are tired?
38767You never miss the friends of your childhood?"
38767_ Chorus._"Who would say that the charcoal woman, Sooty, sooty charcoal woman, In all the city and all the land Could find a lover to kiss her hand?
38767_ Lily._ Then with whom did you make your bed?

33833Ah, you are going into the church?
33833Alphonse, how can you look upon that face, which has the divine image upon it and the divine glory, and be sad?
33833And Rosalie? 33833 And had the enterprising pair taken nothing but the keys?"
33833And have you seen no ghost since we left?
33833And now, señor, do you think that I could let well alone: or, rather, that fortune could still turn to me a smiling face? 33833 And suppose Caro had turned his back upon him?"
33833And the bones of the hermit-- where are they?
33833And the parents?
33833And the skeletons?
33833And the waiter?
33833And when are you going to be married?
33833And who knows? 33833 And you also look upon it in this light?"
33833And you love the donkeys, we hear?
33833And you never regret the choice you have made? 33833 And you really love it?"
33833And you would rather put up with the grapes and the oranges in the market- place?
33833And your lover? 33833 Are the people of Gerona poetical?"
33833Are these donkeys all your living?
33833Are those wedding people still at it?
33833Are we not very much like boys robbing an orchard, Francisco?
33833Are you entering the cathedral?
33833Are you equal to a vigil? 33833 Beat her?"
33833But are they not in purgatory?
33833But life is not quite such hard lines with you, Miguella?
33833But our luggage? 33833 But what brings you here?
33833But what do you mean?
33833But where are they prepared?
33833But where is the supplement? 33833 But where was the honey?"
33833But why the Panama Canal?
33833But you,we observed, feeling the question a delicate one,"why have you never married?
33833Can I be of any service to you in a place where I am very much at home?
33833Can a prophet come out of Galilee?
33833Can a prophet come out of Galilee?
33833Can a prophet come out of Galilee?
33833Can she be the mother of that lovely girl? 33833 Can this be true?"
33833Can you not guess?
33833Can you transfer the power to others?
33833Charm, señor? 33833 Did you ever see such outlines, such a vision of beauty?
33833Did your father ever cane his wife?
33833Do you call that music?
33833Do you mean to ask if they write poetry, like Dante and Shakespeare? 33833 Do you not remember taking two strangers through the streets of Burgos more than a year ago, and seeing them safely to their door?"
33833Do you think I can be troubled with luggage on such a night as this? 33833 Do you think so?"
33833Do you want to enter also?
33833Do you wonder at my frugal living when I hear of these wrecked lives? 33833 Does your wife beat you?"
33833For what reason?
33833From the singular likeness,she said,"I think you must be related to the Duke de Nevada in Madrid?
33833Gentlemen,in his deepest diapason,"what is the meaning of this?
33833Has Loretta not told you that?
33833Has your wife long been blind?
33833Have you any children?
33833Have you come to see me?
33833Have you forgotten us?
33833Have you never heard him speak of the Señor de Costello?
33833Have you never heard of Esau?
33833How did you leave Burgos?
33833How is it that you, a Frenchman, come to be living on Spanish ground?
33833How is it you are allowed so much freedom?
33833How is this, ladies?
33833How often do you wash?
33833How shall you do it?
33833Hugo, have you dined?
33833In want? 33833 Is he your wonderful midnight player?"
33833Is it always so quiet and deserted?
33833Is it possible?
33833Is there any legend connected with its origin?
33833It is a fast- day,he said;"how can I turn it into a feast?"
33833It is an annual fair, then?
33833Juanita, is my breakfast ready?
33833May we ask? 33833 Monsieur donc knows the St. Julien?
33833Not even as ghosts?
33833Now would you like to go into the church and have some music? 33833 Of what are you thinking?"
33833Or if you must do so now, why not return? 33833 Or life and death; for surely they are fitting emblems?
33833Perhaps you have some cake there?
33833Poetical, sir?
33833Qu''est- ce que vous nous chantez là?
33833Regret?
33833So the scent has failed?
33833Spirit of the dead and gone, wherefore art thou here? 33833 Surely you have not been offering to elope with the Dragon?"
33833Surely you would not visit the barbarous exhibition?
33833Tell us,we said;"what about the dragging of the well?
33833The Dragon?
33833Then we can not prevail upon you to be with us this evening?
33833Then you do n''t believe the legend?
33833They ate fruit, or how could Eve have tempted Adam with an apple?
33833Two skeletons?
33833Was the donkey never claimed, Loretta?
33833Was your gold plate safe, and madame''s diamonds?
33833Wash, señor?
33833Well,he said,"have you enjoyed my music?
33833Were you, then, sent here for any special reason?
33833What can be more perfect? 33833 What can it mean?"
33833What do you see in it?
33833What do you think of it, Joseph? 33833 What does the señor mean?"
33833What have you prepared?
33833What is it?
33833What is that distant object?
33833What is that?
33833What is the hour?
33833What is your name?
33833What object could I have in coming here at this dark hour? 33833 What will you?"
33833What would you, señor? 33833 When shall we meet again?"
33833Where have you learned your charm?
33833Which is that?
33833Who is it?
33833Who is that for?
33833Who would have supposed anything so weighty within this little town?
33833Why are you here, Loretta?
33833Why are you here?
33833Why do n''t you join them, and take your share of the spoil?
33833Why leave us?
33833Why not try again with those eyes of yours?
33833Why so?
33833Why, Pedro,said the colonel-- we were standing just a little above the people--"what brings you here to- day?
33833With you to tempt me, Alphonse, how could I resist? 33833 Would n''t a silken thread be more poetical?"
33833Would the señor deign to come and see the wife, and talk to her a little of France and the French? 33833 Would you be admitted with all those broken vows upon your conscience?"
33833You are then in the habit of coming here?
33833You believe in all the miracles, legends and traditions time has gathered round the image?
33833You do n''t approve, Sebastien?
33833You have long ceased to labour?
33833You think I have no business to judge of these matters?
33833You will not give us all the experiences of your past life, spiritual and otherwise?--all you went through in your transition state?
33833_ For Smokers?__ Quel horreur!_ Monsieur the Inspector, you must be mad, or you have dined too well--_l''un ou l''autre_. 33833 ''Where have you come from?'' 33833 ''Will you love my donkeys?'' 33833 A land of abundance, is it not, Miguella?
33833All the centuries that have since rolled on, changing and destroying much of its charm?
33833An escape in a deluge would not have been romantic-- and where could they escape to?
33833An excellent opening in the world presented itself-- might we take this as an indication that Heaven favoured our desires?
33833And after that?"
33833And if not altogether that now, who has she to thank but herself?
33833And is it so much to give up for Heaven?
33833And the monkeys?
33833And was he, too, fond of black- pudding?"
33833And what do you think came up?"
33833And what does it matter for a few human bones?
33833And where will you find pillars so lofty and massive?
33833And who is a bit the better for it?"
33833And why not?
33833And why not?
33833Are you not in his jurisdiction?"
33833Are you really going to- day, señor?
33833Beggars?
33833But do they read and appreciate the poetry of others?
33833But how comes it, madame, if I may be so indiscreet, that my fair travelling companion should not herself eventually have become Madame de Nevada?"
33833But how could you think I should change my mind and forget my engagement?
33833But what am I doing?"
33833But what can you do?
33833But what wonder that in my misery I learned to seek oblivion in the wine cup?
33833But who can legislate for what shall happen after death?"
33833But who is this frail creature?
33833But why did you not tell us that to- morrow was your wedding- day?"
33833But why do you call it a power?
33833But will you come back to spend a whole month at Gerona?
33833But your repast-- would you not lose it?"
33833But, after all, what mattered?
33833But, if we may ask it again without indiscretion, whence have you this indulgence and power?"
33833C.?"
33833Can I ever forget your largesse on that occasion?
33833Can we do aught to ease thee of thy burden?
33833Can you wonder that I should like to inhabit yonder cave?
33833Could by any possibility a way of escape be found for her?
33833Could his sense of hearing be unduly awakened?
33833Did you ever see so charming, so devoted a couple?
33833Did you notice the peasants in the fields as we came along, sitting at work with their knees up to their ears?
33833Did you sleep comfortably in your beautiful rooms?"
33833Did you think there was so much in them?
33833Do ghosts of the past haunt it with long- drawn sighs?
33833Do n''t you think we might take the woman as a conductor and so combine the two?"
33833Do you imagine that I could be in this room and remain insensible to such charms as few women possess?"
33833Do you know his''Spiritual Letters,''señor?"
33833Do you mean to say you have heard him?"
33833Do you not also find the air of Gerona conducive to sleep?
33833Do you observe the fineness of the colours, the rich deep blue that contrasts so well with the emerald green?
33833Do you patronise the French or Spanish cuisine?
33833Does the council still sit in the Apostles''Gateway?"
33833Generally speaking they all turn up again after a time, like bad money; but on this occasion who knows?
33833Had he thrown in his lot amongst them?
33833Had her spouse also forgiven the gay Lothario, or had they arranged for coffee and pistols?
33833Had the mediæval bishops feared a reversal of things-- serenades from fair dames yielding to the charm of forbidden fruit?
33833Has it been done?"
33833Has it ever struck you in the same way, this strange mingling of natural and artificial light?
33833Has it had more than its share of Abelards and Héloïses, Romeos and Juliets?
33833Has it seen many sorrows?
33833Has some sorrowful Atala been borne under its branches to a desert grave, some Dante mourned here his lost Beatrice, some Petrarch his Laura?
33833Has the Archbishop any relics of the Cid?"
33833Has the señor visited the famous monastery?"
33833Have I given you new ideas, revealed unsuspected beauties?
33833Have the hours passed as moments?
33833Have they kept you spell- bound, all the thoughts of the great masters of the past?
33833Have we fallen into the hands of the Philistines?"
33833Have you a cellar, or any other place in which a murdered body might be concealed?"
33833Have you seen his wife, señor?
33833Have you the gift of eternal youth?"
33833Have you the heart to consign us to that_ chambre de tortures?_"He paused a moment, revolving the momentous situation.
33833Heaven has blessed me with means; how can they be better employed than in ministering to others, whether rich or poor?
33833Here it is, señor; will you not come in and look at it?
33833Here the magnificent surroundings were less seen, but what mattered?
33833How could we live without it?"
33833How did you find out, señor?
33833How had she fallen so low?
33833How had we sauntered back?
33833How is this, Loretta?"
33833How it is that to you, a comparative stranger, I have promised to speak of the past, open my heart, disclose secrets unknown to the world?
33833How often am I to report you to the Father- Superior for carelessness?"
33833Humble?
33833I have your promise?"
33833I hope you are not going to forbid the marriage?"
33833I sacrificed home, country and honour; I ruined all my worldly prospects; and for what?
33833I was wrong in saying it was an enemy, for are we not all friends of the lovelier sex?
33833If I know nothing of its horrors, how can I join in a crusade against them?
33833If she at all exaggerated, who could wonder?
33833If we felt a slight grievance, who could wonder?
33833If we had regretted the donkeys before seeing it, what did we do now?
33833If you thought her beautiful then, what would you say now to that calm, radiant face, those clear, steadfast eyes?
33833In England we have a proverb which speaks of a round man in a square hole; might it not almost be applied to you?"
33833Introspective or retrospective?
33833Is it a plot to keep us here?
33833Is it a success?"
33833Is it likely?
33833Is it not a splendid view, señor?
33833Is it not a sublime scene?"
33833Is it not so?"
33833Is it not the very spot for such a soul as Señor Ancora''s?"
33833Is it that these ghostly shadows inspire you as nothing else can?"
33833Is it you, señor, who have influenced the stars against him?"
33833Is not this better than all the passionate vows which rarely survive one''s early youth, and too often die under the strain of life''s daily work?
33833Is your weatherwise astronomer for once proving a false prophet?"
33833It may yet be half a lifetime-- who knows?
33833It might have been a warning to them, but when was love ever warned?
33833May we offer you a really good specimen bottle, just to show you its excellence?
33833Miguel,"to a young man in attendance,"where are the keys?
33833Monsieur will allow me to change the wine?"
33833Never was truer proverb What says Shakespeare?"
33833Nor would I wish it otherwise as long as I have to minister to mortals, or how could I sympathise with the sin and sorrow and suffering around me?
33833Of what nature were his thoughts?
33833Oh, Nerissa, my life''s joy, my best beloved, in what realms is your pure spirit now wandering?
33833Or did he live, a solitary being, in one of the surrounding hermitages?
33833Or mistrusting their own strength had wisely put temptation out of reach?
33833Or was it only the contents of the flask that was a century old?"
33833Or was the emblem so fitting as to be self- evident?
33833Or would reflection have brought a change of plans and an early pillow?
33833Perhaps he was a man who liked the tragic side of life-- and where is it more suggested than on the banks of the Seine?
33833Perhaps, sir, you are to be the new poet- laureate?"
33833Romance and sunshine?
33833Sceptical?
33833Señor, you have been with Anselmo and he has told you our story-- or how could you know?"
33833Shall I tell you how I came to keep donkeys?
33833She is not the angel she looks----""Are you not rather hard upon the angels,_ Sereno_?"
33833She still lives?"
33833She was about to leave me to the temptations and tender mercies of the world-- how would it fare with me in the years to come?
33833Should it be earth or heaven?
33833Should we survive it: or, surviving, find a way out again?
33833Surely the old guardian at Poblet knows nothing?
33833Surely the señor is French too?"
33833Surely they deserve it?"
33833Surely you can not be in want?"
33833Surely you have made your offering to the country and your boy is now at Tarragona?"
33833Surely you need me to perfect your happiness?"
33833Tell me, did I exaggerate its beauty?
33833The perils it went through and did not altogether escape in those terrible days of''93 when, condemned, it was saved by a miracle?
33833Then from a distant corner we heard an anxious murmur:"What about dinner?"
33833They were happy in each other; life was a paradise; and when did such a perfect condition of things ever last?
33833This was true enough; but how find our way to the cathedral and back again to the hotel?
33833Was Nerissa still lingering here, or, as she had said, had her sightless eyes opened to the world beyond?
33833Was he a Spaniard or an Englishman?
33833Was he dwelling upon some terrible Might- have- been?
33833Was he thinking of days that were past, or of the life to come?
33833Was it a judgment upon the wife who had proved faithless to her husband, the man who had betrayed his friend?
33833Was it all due to inward fever, to the wine- cup, or to artificial aid?
33833Was it not the spirit telling her in advance how soon her youth should indeed return to her?
33833Was it true that Queen Victoria was carried wherever she went, because she suffered from rheumatism?
33833Was not Joseph a carpenter?
33833Was not he the worst of the three, and would have the last word?"
33833Was our visit friendly or the opposite?
33833Was such a fate to be ours?
33833Was the mysterious being that haunted our corridors prowling these precincts in search of relics?
33833Were regret and remorse his portion, or resignation to his present surroundings?
33833Were they not all fellow- sufferers?
33833Were they, this moonlight night, going into the interior?
33833Were we trying to worm military secrets out of the men with the intention of starting another Peninsular war?
33833What brought him apparently at home amidst the Jesuits, he who evidently belonged to another order?
33833What can be lovelier than the view from the summit of that rugged hill crowned by its imperishable monument?
33833What could I do?
33833What could it all mean?
33833What did it mean?
33833What did it mean?
33833What do you say to it?"
33833What does it mean?
33833What have I done?
33833What higher mission or greater privilege could there be?
33833What if the night- porter failed us, as he had failed in Lerida?
33833What now?
33833What other five sisters would live together in such harmony?
33833What power are you exercising?
33833What shall it be?"
33833What strange charm was about this man?
33833What to her the lookers- on?
33833What to him was that tragedy that was passing at the other end of the town?
33833What was the matter, and what could it mean?
33833What was this monk in the strange garb?
33833What would the performance resemble?
33833What''s to be done?
33833When are you coming?
33833When indeed does Providence_ not_ direct the paths of its children?
33833When our present neighbour was a bishop, would he too uphold the good and condemn the evil?
33833When shall we meet again?"
