63709 | A good man''s still hard to find? |
63709 | Can you run that space- time apparatus that brought me here? |
63709 | Do n''t you understand? |
63709 | Flattered? |
63709 | Go where? |
63709 | Mohln? |
63709 | Should I be flattered? |
63709 | Try to forget what? |
63709 | Why am I still here and alive? |
63709 | Why does n''t it stop, too? |
63709 | Why drag a man from another world, a million years in the past, to do this simple thing? |
63709 | Why have n''t_ you_ done this before? |
63709 | Will we ever win? |
63709 | Yes? |
63709 | You are from some future time? 63709 Do n''t you wonder why I singled you out? 63709 Do you want to see all your work, and all the work of all your kind, of your own present, past and future end in-- this? |
63709 | Had Draken been correct in his analysis, and had I been justified in jumping to such an empirical conclusion without more conclusive proof? |
63709 | Had I been right in my choice? |
63709 | Had all these nameless slaves of decay been victims of the delusion from which I had freed them? |
63709 | How could I know? |
63709 | How? |
63709 | I turned everything over in my mind, then tried to say calmly:"Why? |
63709 | Into what? |
63709 | Or had I been deluded by the lies of a fanatic? |
63709 | Or is that, by chance, what you intend?" |
63709 | Or was it the twitching of my eyes? |
63709 | Really?" |
63709 | The question is-- will you?" |
63709 | They were warm, not cold; how could they ever have been cold? |
63709 | Was this the way a woman scientist studied coldly and objectively a prospective laboratory subject? |
63709 | What had happened, even back in my own time, in large cities, when only the electric systems had been blown up, or the water mains, or gas mains? |
63709 | What was happening to all animated puppets of this future society now that its mechanical contrivances had been destroyed? |
63709 | Where? |
63709 | Would I push that master switch-- too far? |
61380 | Are you all right? |
61380 | Give me a hand getting out of this suit, will you? |
61380 | Have they secured a subject? |
61380 | How about communicating with him, Hatcher? 61380 Killing him, Hatcher?" |
61380 | Then shall we abandon him and work with her, forgetting the first one? |
61380 | What is it? |
61380 | What took you so long? |
61380 | Where are you? 61380 You''re sure?" |
61380 | _ Here?_ Listen-- Ann-- Miss Mei- Ling, whatever you said your name was! 61380 A tinny little voice from the helmet of the space suit said sharply, amazement in its tone,McCray, is that you? |
61380 | A woman''s voice, crying out in panic and fear:"_ Jodrell Bank!_ Where are you? |
61380 | And had there been an open door then? |
61380 | And if so... where in the name of heaven was he? |
61380 | And the other specimen? |
61380 | And what were these other things in the room? |
61380 | And-- is it a different species? |
61380 | Another trophy, like the strange assortment in the other room? |
61380 | Any progress?" |
61380 | But another thought was in Hatcher''s mind: Suppose the Old Ones found them too? |
61380 | But did he have any reason to believe that he would be better off somewhere else? |
61380 | But surely he was on a planet.... Was n''t he? |
61380 | But what was the light? |
61380 | But what were they doing here? |
61380 | But what would have been the good of that? |
61380 | Conceivably he could carry her; but could he also carry her suit? |
61380 | Did he have an hour? |
61380 | Did that mean-- did it_ possibly_ mean-- that there was a lag of an hour or two each way? |
61380 | Do n''t you feel the heat? |
61380 | Do you see? |
61380 | Floating? |
61380 | Had he not looked at, this very spot a matter of moments before? |
61380 | He felt himself swaying, threw out an arm and realized that he was... falling? |
61380 | How about the prime subject?" |
61380 | How could he make them understand? |
61380 | How long do you want us to keep her that way?" |
61380 | How to explain a set of Gibbon''s_ Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire?_ A space- ax? |
61380 | How to explain a set of Gibbon''s_ Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire?_ A space- ax? |
61380 | Item, wherever he was now, it became, not so much what had happened to him, but what had happened to the ship? |
61380 | Maintain for the alien the pressure and temperature value he needs--""And you, Hatcher?" |
61380 | Meanwhile, what about his fellow- captive? |
61380 | Or merely a different sex?" |
61380 | They do n''t look like much, do they?" |
61380 | Three? |
61380 | Two hours ago? |
61380 | We ca n''t quite communicate with the female--""But?" |
61380 | What about trying to find a way out of this place, for instance? |
61380 | What are-- those?" |
61380 | What next?" |
61380 | What the devil happened to you?" |
61380 | What would they make of that? |
61380 | When was it he called them? |
61380 | Where the devil are you calling from?" |
61380 | Would that improve the situation? |
61380 | Yet what could he do with the woman? |
62416 | And what will that gain you? |
62416 | And, then, after a time it wears off? |
62416 | Are there other entrances? |
62416 | But-- where are we? |
62416 | Did they tell you how much I gave them? |
62416 | Did you ever think of that? |
62416 | Do you know where the Earthman Blaine is? |
62416 | Go where? |
62416 | Got a light? |
62416 | He? 62416 Hear them? |
62416 | How can you do that? 62416 How close do I have to get?" |
62416 | I guess it''s strange to you, not being able to buy everything with your money, is n''t it? |
62416 | Is that thing easy to operate? |
62416 | Of what good could that be to me? |
62416 | Purple radiance? |
62416 | See him? |
62416 | That was the last report made public, was n''t it? |
62416 | That''s the entrance to the Cavern of Machines? |
62416 | That? 62416 The Great Mind will see us soon?" |
62416 | Then, how is crime coming? 62416 Think I''m too old to help you young fellows now?" |
62416 | This underdress-- not too becoming, is it? |
62416 | Viv-- where are we? 62416 Well this time, anyway, I had a good motive, did n''t I?" |
62416 | What do you make of that? 62416 What do you mean?" |
62416 | What is that, Ratan? |
62416 | What weapons have you got? |
62416 | What''s that over there? |
62416 | What? |
62416 | Where you going? |
62416 | Who-- what is that? |
62416 | Why should I not, my wife and I? 62416 Wo n''t the guards discover we''re gone?" |
62416 | You have some plan? |
62416 | You say you know where they keep their space- flyer? |
62416 | You want to learn everything we know? |
62416 | You''re all right now, Bob? 62416 A man? 62416 And then-- do you not see something unusual in me? |
62416 | And why do you want to learn it? |
62416 | Are there liable to be more of them around?" |
62416 | Blaine-- where are you?" |
62416 | Bob, where are you? |
62416 | But if, perhaps, the Great Mind should suddenly die? |
62416 | But then, if it once occurs to you that they might be connected--""What other things?" |
62416 | Ca n''t you speak?" |
62416 | Could it be a solid body as big as five hundred miles in diameter? |
62416 | Could they find food and drink? |
62416 | Food?" |
62416 | For what? |
62416 | Had Ratan''s roar of startled anger aroused any guards out in the corridor? |
62416 | How does it work?" |
62416 | Many people missing lately?" |
62416 | Maybe that''s water? |
62416 | Or did he sense us in some other way? |
62416 | Or had the Radaks killed him by now? |
62416 | Or should they try to get back underground? |
62416 | Or would he be recovered by now?" |
62416 | Out which exit they went? |
62416 | Solid enough to be the cause, by its proximity, of the Earth''s axial and orbital disturbances? |
62416 | Suppose we do n''t want to teach you? |
62416 | Tell us-- what''s happened to all of us?" |
62416 | That means only the Great Mind, or Ratan will be down there in the Cavern?" |
62416 | That''s good sense, is n''t it?" |
62416 | The horror of things not yet seen... things lurking--"Oh Pete, what can we do?" |
62416 | Then what?" |
62416 | To have the murderous Radaks fall upon them and kill them? |
62416 | Vivian-- are you here?" |
62416 | Wander here, until some ghastly monster engulfed them? |
62416 | Was he gaining this fellow''s confidence? |
62416 | Was it water? |
62416 | Was this Crimson Comet hurling a lethal radiance at us, attacking the Earth? |
62416 | What I want to know is-- do you realize who and what I am, on Earth?" |
62416 | What are they saying? |
62416 | What are your plans? |
62416 | What happened?" |
62416 | When can you arrive?" |
62416 | Where is this Cavern of Machines?" |
62416 | Why? |
62416 | Would it be an hour, or a day? |
62416 | You know where the Earth- people would probably be now? |
62416 | You realize it?" |
12315 | Am I a smith? |
12315 | And art thou not fair Maid of Judah,said the affectionate genius,"worth to me all the broad lands of my fathers? |
12315 | And the child with you,said Salmon,"did you take the child?" |
12315 | And who are you? |
12315 | And who must I tell him that you are? |
12315 | And who? 12315 And why not go on to the knoll?" |
12315 | And why not? 12315 And why? |
12315 | Are you a smith? |
12315 | Are you the daughter of this gentleman? |
12315 | But what have you done? |
12315 | Contented, my mother,said Tamar, bursting into tears,"could I be contented if taken from you?" |
12315 | Did you never hear of no other use for a horse- shoe, besides protecting a horse''s hoof? |
12315 | Do you mind me? |
12315 | Does my father live? |
12315 | For the love of prince Charles,he said,"can you give us any provender, Mrs. Margaret? |
12315 | Has he ever lost a daughter? |
12315 | He will,replied Tamar;"but tell me, only tell me, what is that mark burnt upon my shoulder?" |
12315 | Hold your tongue, you old fool,said Jacob,"what do you know of her, and of him who was once Laird of Dymock? |
12315 | How is that? |
12315 | I have told you,said the Laird,"that if you tell every thing you shall be free,--do you question my truth?" |
12315 | I would see your master, where is he? |
12315 | Lately? |
12315 | Little Miss,said Mr. Dymock,"what little Miss? |
12315 | Oh, in pity, in mercy tell me who I am and who are my parents?--if they still live; if I have any chance or-- hope of seeing them? |
12315 | The Laird did you say,asked Salmon,"your father; he is your father damsel is he not?" |
12315 | The thieves? |
12315 | Then why do you come to me like her? |
12315 | Then you do not think of putting her in a foundling hospital or a workhouse, nephew, as you proposed last night? |
12315 | True,returned Shanty,"your worship is right; but how are we to go? |
12315 | We shall see by and bye,said Dymock,"the question is, what is to be done now? |
12315 | Well Sir, and have you not these articles in possession? |
12315 | Well,said the young man, looking about him,"have you never a cast shoe?" |
12315 | Well,said the young man,"if you will not make me one, will you let me make one for myself?" |
12315 | What are you doing,--what do you propose to do, Tamar? |
12315 | What for? |
12315 | What have I to give her? |
12315 | Whither away? 12315 Who do you take me for?" |
12315 | Who shall say how things were done in those days,said Mrs. Margaret;"those times long past, when things uncanny had more power than they have now? |
12315 | Why are you here, my daughter? |
12315 | Why do you fill the young girl''s mind, Dymock,said he,"with such fancies as you do? |
12315 | Why do you stand? |
12315 | You, you,said Salmon,"you are his daughter?" |
12315 | Are you grateful?" |
12315 | Art thou not the little ewe lamb of the poor man?--but none shall ever have thee from me my daughter, but one entirely worthy of thee?" |
12315 | But now her back is turned to you, Dymock, observe the singular mark on her shoulder, and tell me what it is?" |
12315 | Can you not trust her? |
12315 | Can you suspect a creature who looks like your wife, like Rachel? |
12315 | Could they purchase for me such love as thine? |
12315 | Do not the scatterings of the flock, aunt Margaret, make us as warm hose as the prime of the fleece?" |
12315 | Do you understand me, Tamar? |
12315 | For,"as he would add,"does a man want righteousness? |
12315 | Gipsy, or Jew? |
12315 | He stood a moment and she called to him; her words were these,--"Have you sped?" |
12315 | Is not her tale well framed; and are you, or are you not deceived by her fair seemings? |
12315 | My father, if I have a living father, I owe him a duty,--where is he? |
12315 | See you not the fair guise in which she comes? |
12315 | She patted her head, saying"My poor Sappho, what have you seen in that dark place? |
12315 | Tell me where he is, for the love of heaven tell me?" |
12315 | Tell me, tell me damsel, what I can do? |
12315 | What can I do with it?" |
12315 | What is a Jew more than another man? |
12315 | What may that be which you are now shaping; why may it not serve my turn as well as another? |
12315 | Where are your keys? |
12315 | Where is Jacob? |
12315 | Who is afraid? |
12315 | Why do you ask me?" |
12315 | With forty pounds a- year, a house, and a little field, which is all your adopted parents will have, can they, think you, keep a servant? |
12315 | With great effort she repeated,--"Does my father live?" |
12315 | and whence come you?" |
12315 | and where am I to find money, even for her,--though she come in such a guise, as would wring the last drop of the heart''s blood?" |
12315 | and who?" |
12315 | asked Jacob, not insolently as was his wo nt, but as if under the impression of some kind of awe;"who shall I say you are?" |
12315 | asked Tamar,"have they been seen and heard lately?" |
12315 | did I not tell him that he was feeding your poor mind with follies; tell me, how should this poor girl be like your wife?" |
12315 | has the black fog shut out all the bright visions which the foolish Laird created in your fancy? |
12315 | may it not be possible that I may have near relations among these miserable men who are shut up in the strong- hold of the Tower?" |
12315 | old gentleman, and might one ask where this estate of yours may be?" |
12315 | or are you a terrible vision of my fancy? |
12315 | returned the blacksmith,"and where''s your horse?" |
12315 | said I,"continued the vagrant,"why, said I, should I not do for this service as well as another? |
12315 | said Mr. Dymock:"Why, what have you done to her?" |
12315 | said Salmon, his teeth actually chattering"who are you? |
12315 | said Tamar weeping,"why are you sorry for me, can not I go with you? |
12315 | said the old lady,"and give up our parlour?" |
12315 | said the old lady,"is it so? |
12315 | said the old lady,"what is come to her?" |
12315 | said the poor girl, gasping for breath,"is my father a convicted felon?" |
12315 | she added, stamping her little foot with impatience;"why do you not obey me?" |
12315 | she said,"are you disappointed?--is the blight come over you? |
12315 | tell me, what is it?" |
12315 | there is the treasure full and brimming over; does he want rest and peace? |
12315 | there it is laid for him in Christ; does he want merit? |
12315 | they are also provided for him; does he want faith? |
12315 | what will become of her?" |
12315 | who have you got there?" |
12315 | you look pale, as those who see the dead-- is it not so?" |
4774 | --How now, Franke, what say you to that? |
4774 | --Sirra Hal, how does she hold her countenance? |
4774 | A marriage, mine host? |
4774 | Alas, good knights, how might the matter be? |
4774 | Alas, sir, think you I shall ere be his? |
4774 | Alas, sweet Love, what shall become of me? |
4774 | Alas, what shall we do? |
4774 | Alas, where lies your grief? |
4774 | Am I bald? |
4774 | And com''st to tell me now, thou lik''st it not? |
4774 | And come we back unto our native home, For want of skill to lose the wench thou lov''st? |
4774 | And did not I direct him to the house, And confer with him by the way? |
4774 | And do you serve the good duke of Norfolk still? |
4774 | And how say ye, boys, If I be chose the weekly visitor? |
4774 | And what of this? |
4774 | Brian, how hapd''st thou on her? |
4774 | Brother and friend, alas, what shall we do? |
4774 | But do you yet repent you of the same? |
4774 | But how shall we prevent this dangerous match? |
4774 | But how, Mountchensey? |
4774 | But to our former motion about stealing some venison; whither go we? |
4774 | But where be they? |
4774 | But where is Smug? |
4774 | But whither, Raymond? |
4774 | But you will to this geere in hugger- mugger; Art thou turned miser, Rascall, in thy loves? |
4774 | But, Sirra Raymond, What news of Peter Fabell at the house? |
4774 | But, noble Clare, this while of our discourse, What may Mounchensey''s honour to thy self Exact upon the measure of thy grace? |
4774 | By the body of S. George, I have an excellent intellect to go steal some venison: now, when wast thou in the forest? |
4774 | By what means camst thou to assume this shape? |
4774 | By your order and your faith? |
4774 | Cannot?--What ails your hollownes? |
4774 | Come, Fabell, hast thou done? |
4774 | Come, art thou ready? |
4774 | Come, come, how does she, noble Capouchin? |
4774 | Comes he not yet? |
4774 | Confer with you From Waltham Abbey unto Chesson wall? |
4774 | Continue there? |
4774 | Coreb, is it thou? |
4774 | D''yee see yon bay window? |
4774 | Darst thou deride the minister of darkness? |
4774 | Did not I direct you to the house? |
4774 | Did not we break our minds that very time, That our device of making her a Nun Was but a colour and a very plot To put by young Mountchensey? |
4774 | Did not you tell us still how Peter Fabell At length would cross us, if we took not heed? |
4774 | Did we not last night find two S. Georges here? |
4774 | Did you not see a spirit all in white cross you at the stile? |
4774 | Did you see Banks or Smug? |
4774 | Didst thou not write thy name in thine own blood, And drewst the formall deed twixt thee and me, And is it not recorded now in hell? |
4774 | Do I bend in the hams? |
4774 | Dost thou mock me? |
4774 | Exceeding well; but is it your intent She shall continue there? |
4774 | Father, how now? |
4774 | For mortalities sake, What''s the matter? |
4774 | Go? |
4774 | Ha, ha, Why dost thou wake me? |
4774 | Ha, ha, sir Raph, stirring so soon indeed? |
4774 | Hah, what is thy due? |
4774 | Have Friars recourse then to the house of Nuns? |
4774 | Have I so many melancholy nights Watch''d on the top of Peter- house highest Tower? |
4774 | Have we Comedies in hand, you whoreson, villanous male London Letcher? |
4774 | Holy man, what wouldst thou have? |
4774 | How dost like my plot? |
4774 | How doth my Lady? |
4774 | How now, my old Jenerts bauke my house, my castle? |
4774 | How now? |
4774 | How, sir? |
4774 | How, sweet? |
4774 | How, then, my lad? |
4774 | How? |
4774 | How? |
4774 | I am a maid, sir; who? |
4774 | I can not dissemble: did I ought but by thy own consent? |
4774 | I will serve the Duke of Christendom, and do him more credit in his celler then all the plate in his buttery; is''t not so, lad? |
4774 | If I feel any thing in my forehead, I am a villain: do I wear a night- cap? |
4774 | If I understand thee, I am a villain: What, dost thou speak in parables to thy friends? |
4774 | If we be scard in the forest, we''ll meet in the Church- porch at Enfield; ist Correspondent? |
4774 | Is any man here humorous? |
4774 | Is not this the George? |
4774 | Is that the order? |
4774 | Is this a time for such as you, Men of your place and of your gravity, To be abroad a thieving? |
4774 | Is''t even so? |
4774 | Is''t even so? |
4774 | Ist certain? |
4774 | Ist not true? |
4774 | Keep together; Sexton, thou art secret, what? |
4774 | Knavery, knavery, knavery; I smell it, I smell it, yfaith; is the wind in that door? |
4774 | Master Brian? |
4774 | Master Parson, may the Smith go, think you, being in this taking? |
4774 | Me thinks your father looketh strangely on me: Say, love, why are you sad? |
4774 | Miller, doth the match hold? |
4774 | Milliscent, how dost thou? |
4774 | Mine Host, is not Sir Richard Mounchensey come yet, according to our appointment, when we last dined here? |
4774 | Nay, did he not go? |
4774 | Need of me? |
4774 | Neighbour Banks, what news? |
4774 | Never sent him? |
4774 | Now, Visitor, how does this new made Nun? |
4774 | Now, sirra, what''s the matter? |
4774 | O God, what means my father? |
4774 | Pray, pray you; I could fight now for all the world like a Cockatrices ege; shals not serve the Duke of Norfolk? |
4774 | Raph, hearst thou any stirring? |
4774 | S''foot, how did I miss you? |
4774 | S''foot, mine Host, shalls not grapple? |
4774 | S''foot, we shall lose our way, it''s so dark; whereabouts are we? |
4774 | S''life, is there stealers abroad, and they can not hear Of them: where the devil are my men to night? |
4774 | Shall''s in to breakfast? |
4774 | Sirra, hath young Mountchensey married your sister? |
4774 | Smug, dost not thou remember the tree thou felst out of last Night? |
4774 | Smug, how chance you cut so plaguely behind, Smug? |
4774 | Speak softly, rogue; how now? |
4774 | Speak, who are you? |
4774 | Stands the wind there, boy? |
4774 | The very same; sure, I should know her voice; Mistris Milliscent? |
4774 | This is most strange of all: Why, tell me, Friar, Are not you Confessor to my Son Francke? |
4774 | Tis well: Where''s Raymond, brother? |
4774 | Tis well; but how, if any of us should be taken? |
4774 | Turn friar? |
4774 | Was she, quotha? |
4774 | Was that fair maiden late become a nun? |
4774 | We stolen thy Deer? |
4774 | Well now, Francke Jerningham, how sayest thou? |
4774 | Well said, Sir John, you are of the same humor still; and doth the water run the same way still, boy? |
4774 | Well, sir, for this your sign was removed, was it? |
4774 | Were you, my noble Romans? |
4774 | What Gentleman is that? |
4774 | What can you say now? |
4774 | What company hast thou been in, Rascall? |
4774 | What dost thou see in me, that I should be towards marriage, ha? |
4774 | What make you in my walk? |
4774 | What means the Friar? |
4774 | What means the tolling of this fatal chime? |
4774 | What means this noise? |
4774 | What means your company to leave you thus? |
4774 | What noise was that? |
4774 | What the devil is that white thing? |
4774 | What thinkst on her? |
4774 | What wilt thou do? |
4774 | What, are your brains always water- mills? |
4774 | What, is breakfast ready, mine Host? |
4774 | What, my lusty Franke, So near a wife, and will not tell a friend? |
4774 | What, thou married? |
4774 | What? |
4774 | What? |
4774 | What? |
4774 | What? |
4774 | When went your fellows out into their walks? |
4774 | Where ere did we meet thee and wanton springs, That like a wag thou hast not laught at me, And with regardless jesting mockt my love? |
4774 | Where is Mountchensey? |
4774 | Where''s my Buck? |
4774 | Which way took they? |
4774 | Whither? |
4774 | Who brought you hither? |
4774 | Who does not understand my griefs? |
4774 | Who''s that which knocks? |
4774 | Who''s that? |
4774 | Who''s that? |
4774 | Who''s there? |
4774 | Who''s there? |
4774 | Who''s there? |
4774 | Who''s there? |
4774 | Who, I? |
4774 | Who, and what art thou? |
4774 | Why comst thou in this stern and horrid shape, Not in familiar sort, as thou wast wo nt? |
4774 | Why, how now, mad- cap? |
4774 | Why, knave, didst thou not tell me an hour ago, mine host was up? |
4774 | Why, who''s thy Master? |
4774 | Will the Church permit A nun in approbation of her habit To be ravished? |
4774 | You can not grieve more then I do, but to what end? |
4774 | You do, sir? |
4774 | You knave, is a up, and is a not up? |
4774 | You, sir, twas you was his minister that married them? |
4774 | You? |
4774 | Young Benedic, were you ere sent by me To Chesson Nunnery for a visitor? |
4774 | Young Master Jerningham, were you an actor In your own love''s abuse? |
4774 | and art thou in breath still, boy? |
4774 | and did he not Tell me what charge he had received from you, Word by word, as I requested at your hands? |
4774 | and how? |
4774 | and how? |
4774 | are my legs too little for my hose? |
4774 | are you not weary, Madam? |
4774 | by thy allowance? |
4774 | doost thou ask me that now? |
4774 | ha, who''s there? |
4774 | how camst thou into this ill name? |
4774 | how, lad, for the wench? |
4774 | is it even so? |
4774 | is not the Master of the house thy Master? |
4774 | let me look upon thee, Rogue; who has given out this of thee? |
4774 | lie in Waltham all night, and not under the Canopy of your host Blague''s house? |
4774 | married? |
4774 | must they ever run round? |
4774 | nay, further, by thy warrant? |
4774 | or to what? |
4774 | the clock strikes at Enfield; what''s the hour? |
4774 | what make you here alone? |
4774 | where''s mine host Blague? |
4774 | where''s my dear Mounchensey? |
4774 | who are you? |
4774 | who''s there? |
4774 | z''blood, what should all you see in me, that I should look like a married man, ha? |
11556 | A madman, sir? 11556 A submarine boat?" |
11556 | All right, Spade? |
11556 | And Thomas Roch? |
11556 | And has Thomas Roch also sold you the secret of his deflagrator? |
11556 | And who are the persons who have thus disappeared from Healthful House? |
11556 | At what depth are we now? |
11556 | Both of them? |
11556 | But are you not afraid he may give his secret away? |
11556 | But if Ker Karraje''s secrets are known, do you suppose the powers are not also aware of the existence of the Count d''Artigas''submarine boat? |
11556 | But what about our expeditions at sea? |
11556 | But will there not be a great and ever- impending danger in accumulating large quantities of it? 11556 But,"asked the Count,"is Thomas Roch never left alone?" |
11556 | By the entrance gate? |
11556 | By what right, sir? |
11556 | Could n''t he at least pay some attention to us? |
11556 | Could n''t you, Gaydon, get him to talk about his fulgurator? |
11556 | Do these fits to which Thomas Roch is subject last long? |
11556 | Does n''t anybody know about it up at Healthful House? 11556 Gaydon,"demanded the director,"where is Thomas Roch?" |
11556 | Has Back Cup been attacked? |
11556 | Has Thomas Roch,I ask,"made you acquainted with the composition of his explosive?" |
11556 | Has it no bolts? |
11556 | Has the schooner excited suspicion, and been chased to the entrance to the passes? 11556 Have you no idea as to their nationality?" |
11556 | Healthful House, where I was sequestrated after Warder Gaydon had been entrusted with the mission of spying upon me in order to rob me of my secret? 11556 How are you going to open it?" |
11556 | How much will you give me for it-- how much? |
11556 | How much-- how much? |
11556 | I am Warder Gaydon, the attendant of Thomas Roch,I continue,"and I want to know why you have carried me off and placed me on board this schooner?" |
11556 | I understand from your remark that I shall be furnished with the means of returning to America when I want to go? |
11556 | Is anybody about? |
11556 | Is he then absolutely mad? |
11556 | Is her voyage one of business or pleasure? |
11556 | Is it possible? |
11556 | Ker Karraje is not here, then? |
11556 | Kidnap us? |
11556 | May I ask,I continue,"how you came to find out that Gaydon, the warder, was Simon Hart, the engineer?" |
11556 | My deflagrator? |
11556 | My invention? |
11556 | My opinion, Mr. Serko? 11556 My work?" |
11556 | Notwithstanding Thomas Roch''s mental condition? |
11556 | Of what use are these millions to him if he is not allowed to enjoy them outside? |
11556 | Of what use could it be to us, Serko? |
11556 | One word, Lieutenant Davon, how did you penetrate to the interior of Back Cup? |
11556 | Shall I be permitted to roam about wherever I please? |
11556 | Shall I weigh anchor? |
11556 | The tug? |
11556 | Thomas Roch, would you dare to fire upon your country''s flag-- the tricolor flag? |
11556 | Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Through the wall of the cavern? |
11556 | Vengeance?--against whom? |
11556 | Well, Mr. Simon Hart,he says,"are you getting accustomed to your tranquil existence? |
11556 | Well, and what then? |
11556 | What I think about it? 11556 What chord?" |
11556 | What do you want to say to me, Simon Hart? |
11556 | What has that to do with us? |
11556 | What is her name? |
11556 | What is his nationality? |
11556 | What is that? |
11556 | What is the use when no one is near to hear you? |
11556 | What is to be done? |
11556 | What is your opinion about it? |
11556 | What is your opinion? |
11556 | What others? |
11556 | What then? 11556 When one is caught in a trap----""One can cry out, I suppose?" |
11556 | Where is the captain? |
11556 | Where is the_ Sword_, Lieutenant? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Who are you, then? |
11556 | Who was it then, may I ask? |
11556 | Why so? |
11556 | Why, those men who threw themselves upon Thomas Roch and me, who gagged, bound, and carried us off and shut us up, I know not where? |
11556 | Why? |
11556 | Will she be gone long? |
11556 | Yes, but on this side there is the wall, and if you succeed in climbing it, how are you going to get over it again with Thomas Roch? 11556 Yes, how did you know?" |
11556 | You are perfectly sure about it? |
11556 | You claim that three men threw themselves upon you? |
11556 | You know who I am? |
11556 | You refer to Thomas Roch, I presume, Count? |
11556 | You, of course, sir, have no intention of refusing me permission to go over your schooner? |
11556 | You? |
11556 | 17 was situated, he said:"You managed, I presume, to thoroughly explore the place, and are acquainted with every detail of it?" |
11556 | A Spaniard? |
11556 | A volcano in these parts? |
11556 | Already thinking of leaving us, Mr. Gaydon,--of returning to your dismal pavilion at Healthful House? |
11556 | Am I in condition to reply to the questions that Engineer Serko is dying to put to me? |
11556 | Am I not imprisoned in the hold of a ship under way? |
11556 | Am I not in the power of an evildoer anxious to ensure impunity for his crimes and to defy the law by seeking refuge in this undiscoverable burrow? |
11556 | Am I not meant to understand from this that I must give up all hope of ever recovering my liberty? |
11556 | Am I the dupe of an illusion? |
11556 | And Thomas Roch, what has become of him? |
11556 | And might not this bottle by chance-- an ultra- providential chance, I must avow-- be picked up by a ship passing near Back Cup? |
11556 | And now, Mr. Hart, where is Ker Karraje''s tug?" |
11556 | And that Count d''Artigas, with his Spanish name and Asiatic type, where does he come from? |
11556 | And then what does he care whether the brigand''s name is Count''d''Artigas or Ker Karraje? |
11556 | And then, why does the_ Ebba_ have recourse to this submarine towing system? |
11556 | And was it reasonable, was it permissible, to suppose for an instant that he had been carried off for the benefit of a private individual? |
11556 | And who knows but what one day, he will try the experiment? |
11556 | And who knows but what, in my new position, I may finally discover the secret of Roth''s fulgurator? |
11556 | And why should I not succeed now that Ker Karraje, Engineer Serko, Captain Spade, and the pirates have taken their posts outside? |
11556 | And yet, without the intervention of Providence, what hope is there for me? |
11556 | And, in the first place, am I alone? |
11556 | Are the crew engaged in loading or unloading merchandise? |
11556 | Are they going to drop me overboard to drown like a rat, so as to get rid of a dangerous witness? |
11556 | Are they going to let me out at last? |
11556 | Are they going to put me back in my dark prison at the bottom of the hold? |
11556 | Are they safe and sound like us-- for I suppose that Thomas Roch has also survived? |
11556 | Are we not going to leave this island, which appears to be isolated, to the west? |
11556 | Are you not Simon Hart?" |
11556 | Are you not more closely confined within the walls of this cavern than you ever were at Healthful House?" |
11556 | Besides, how could the vessel have reached the open sea? |
11556 | Besides, what am I to the men who have carried us off? |
11556 | But after all, what does it matter? |
11556 | But does the compartment in which I am confined, really belong to a ship? |
11556 | But has this inventor entirely lost the use of his intellectual faculties?" |
11556 | But how can she escape them since they will swoop back upon her? |
11556 | But if the door was locked, how were they going to get in? |
11556 | But if they have not condemned me to die of thirst, neither have they condemned me to die of hunger, I suppose? |
11556 | But of what use is this knowledge to me? |
11556 | But what I should like to know is, has he acted as the agent of a foreign power, or on his own account? |
11556 | But what about the sailing ship that was to port of us? |
11556 | But what is it? |
11556 | But what is this-- and how on earth could I have failed to notice it before? |
11556 | But what were those reasons? |
11556 | But where is Thomas Roch? |
11556 | But where is it generated? |
11556 | But whither are my thoughts wandering? |
11556 | But who is this Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | But who were the kidnappers? |
11556 | But why do they submit to such an existence? |
11556 | But why should Thomas Roch be landed again? |
11556 | But will the vessels sighted continue on their course in this direction? |
11556 | But with what object? |
11556 | CHAPTER V. WHERE AM I? |
11556 | Can I hesitate at a murder that will bring about the chastisement of so many crimes? |
11556 | Can he be in the throes of a fresh paroxysm? |
11556 | Can there be room for doubt that it was Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Come now, have I made a mistake? |
11556 | Continuing my walk I perceive on the northern side of the lagoon the habitations of this colony of troglodytes-- do they not merit the appellation? |
11556 | Could any circumstance occur to counteract it-- to"exteriorize"him, as it were? |
11556 | Could any plausible hypothesis be deducted from the type presented by Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | Days? |
11556 | Did she then not make straight for the American coast? |
11556 | Did they realize that I was trying to discover by what means the schooner was propelled? |
11556 | Did those brave Englishmen perish in the collision? |
11556 | Do they never leave their rocky retreat? |
11556 | Do you appreciate at their just merit the advantages of this enchanted grotto? |
11556 | Do you imagine you are free, Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Do you know what were their intentions in entering the cavern?" |
11556 | Do you know where Thomas Roch is?" |
11556 | Do you, may I ask, refer to the Frenchman, Thomas Roch?" |
11556 | Does he imagine that Warder Gaydon ever heard of Trophonius? |
11556 | Does he insist upon preparing the explosive in secret and does he intend to keep the formula thereof to himself? |
11556 | Does he perceive the change in his situation? |
11556 | Does he realize the inanity of the hypothesis I try to pass off on him? |
11556 | Does he scour the seas with him, sharing the enviable life enjoyed by the rich yachtsman? |
11556 | Does he think I know more than I will say? |
11556 | Does he think of speaking to one or other of these men, and if they speak to him will he be more reasonable than he was with me, and reply to them? |
11556 | Does he wish to profit alone by Thomas Roch''s invention, and is he in the position to dispose of it profitably? |
11556 | Does it really possess the destructive power that the inventor attributes to it? |
11556 | Frenchman, would you be so criminal as to strike it?" |
11556 | Gaydon, it is you, is it?" |
11556 | Gaydon?" |
11556 | Had he abandoned the Pacific for other seas? |
11556 | Had it been voluntarily caused by the pirates when they realized that escape was impossible? |
11556 | Had this enigmatical personage then come solely for the purpose of visiting Healthful House? |
11556 | Hart?" |
11556 | Has anybody been in here? |
11556 | Has he already forgotten about Healthful House, the pavilion in which he was a prisoner, and Gaydon, his keeper? |
11556 | Has he any idea of the value of money? |
11556 | Has he been banished, is he an outcast of society that he should have selected this place above all others? |
11556 | Has he been killed by one of the projectiles? |
11556 | Has he not obtained what he has so long sought for? |
11556 | Has it ever been tried? |
11556 | Has she been delayed by a buccaneering cruise in the neighborhood of Back Cup? |
11556 | Has she reached her destination? |
11556 | Has the door been opened? |
11556 | Have Americans, English, French, Germans, and Russians reason to fear that an attack in force against the island would be doomed to failure?" |
11556 | Have boats come alongside? |
11556 | Have the English, desirous of avenging the destruction of the_ Sword_, alone undertaken the expedition? |
11556 | Have they missed it? |
11556 | Have they set out on a piracy expedition? |
11556 | Have you given up all hope of recovering your liberty some day or other?" |
11556 | He raises his head, shakes it nervously, and with a disdainful gesture:"What do you mean by''your country?'' |
11556 | He stops, with laughing eyes and mocking mouth, and accompanies a"Good day, how do you do?" |
11556 | How comes it that he knew that a French engineer was performing the duties of attendant to Thomas Roch? |
11556 | How could a frail craft like the_ Sword_ defend itself against the attacks of Ker Karraje''s powerful machine? |
11556 | How could he get all this money except from Ker Karraje, and as the price of his secret? |
11556 | How did this man manage to find out what I was able to keep from the staff of Healthful House? |
11556 | How do I know that I am afloat on the Neuse, though I was conveyed a short distance in a boat? |
11556 | How have I survived it? |
11556 | How is it that Pamlico Sound is so extraordinarily calm? |
11556 | How is it that my heart is not broken? |
11556 | How is this schooner moving? |
11556 | How long have I been asleep? |
11556 | How much longer will this incarceration last? |
11556 | How was it then that he manifested such extraordinary unconcern? |
11556 | How will this adventure end? |
11556 | I am anxious for the passage to be made, for who knows but what it may be the way to freedom for me? |
11556 | I continually revert to this question, hoping that some incident will occur to enlighten me: Where am I? |
11556 | I question whether there is any other issue than the tunnel, and how on earth could I get through that? |
11556 | I walk up to one of the sailors and inquire:"What is the name of this ship?" |
11556 | I, however, go on:"Thomas Roch, do you remember Healthful House?" |
11556 | If he has seized Thomas Roch, is it not because he is determined to secure the secret of the fulgurator at no matter what cost? |
11556 | If, as I suspect, this name of d''Artigas and this title of Count are assumed, what motive has he for hiding his identity? |
11556 | In the latter place the cisterns have to supply the needs of over ten thousand people, this one of a hundred-- what? |
11556 | In the present state of his mind may he not be induced to disclose the composition of his fulgurator? |
11556 | In this case is it not possible that I was carried into the cellar of a house? |
11556 | In this event, how would you be able to provision the island?" |
11556 | Instead of crossing Pamlico Sound, may we not be going in the opposite direction, up the River Neuse? |
11556 | Is he a personal friend of the Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | Is he going to tell him what is passing, that a squadron is in view of Back Cup, and that his fulgurator will be employed to defend the island? |
11556 | Is he not at last able to carry out the plans he formed years and years ago? |
11556 | Is he not on board? |
11556 | Is he not the owner of these riches accumulated by twenty years of murder and rapine? |
11556 | Is it a big whale rising for air, and is the_ Ebba_ in danger of being shattered by a blow from the monster''s tail? |
11556 | Is it day? |
11556 | Is it known that Thomas Roch and his keeper are confined in Back Cup? |
11556 | Is it known that the abduction was effected in the interest of Ker Karraje? |
11556 | Is it night? |
11556 | Is it not folly to think of such a thing? |
11556 | Is it so? |
11556 | Is it the state of the sea that delays another campaign against Back Cup? |
11556 | Is not he, Thomas Roch, master of Back Cup? |
11556 | Is she a steam- yacht? |
11556 | Is she propelled by electricity-- by a battery of accumulators, or by piles of great power that work her screw and send her along at this rate? |
11556 | Is the danger over? |
11556 | Is the island being bombarded with a view to its destruction? |
11556 | Is the_ Ebba_ now free to proceed?" |
11556 | Is there a manufactory installed somewhere or other in this vast crypt, with machinery, dynamos and accumulators? |
11556 | Is there then a creek in the middle of the rocks where the vessel is secure from the breakers? |
11556 | Is this the port to which she belongs? |
11556 | Just who was this Count d''Artigas? |
11556 | Looking him straight in the face, I reply:"You know who I am, Thomas Roch, but do you know in whose place you are?" |
11556 | Mansion? |
11556 | May not cruisers of other nations be with them? |
11556 | May they not be merely passing on their way to Bermuda? |
11556 | May you not have purchased a composition as inert as a pinch of snuff?" |
11556 | Might not the discovery of the new engine be lost to America forever? |
11556 | Might not the latter, instead of heading for a ship in waiting for it, opposite Healthful House, have been rowed to a point further down the river? |
11556 | Might not the most serious consequences follow? |
11556 | Months? |
11556 | Once we are out at sea, what will they have to fear from me? |
11556 | Or perhaps the Count had been inspired by curiosity to meet Thomas Roch? |
11556 | Otherwise why should he have come to such a place? |
11556 | Serko?" |
11556 | Shall I be left here in this way till morning? |
11556 | Shall I ever be able to escape from Back Cup, denounce the false Count d''Artigas and rid the seas of Ker Karraje''s pirates? |
11556 | Shall I ever be able to get even with him? |
11556 | Shall I ever be afforded another chance? |
11556 | Sheer folly, and yet what other way is there of getting out of Back Cup? |
11556 | Sleep, when I am near the end of a situation that threatened to be prolonged for years and years? |
11556 | Sleep, when my brain is in a whirl of excitement? |
11556 | Then, abruptly, I go on:"If I am not mistaken, you have succeeded in inducing Thomas Roch to disclose the secret of his fulgurator?" |
11556 | Then, what kind of a machine is it that imparts such a marvellous speed to the vessel? |
11556 | They passed lines around the hull of the_ Sword_----""The_ Sword_?" |
11556 | To what nation do they belong? |
11556 | Trophonius after Pluto and Neptune? |
11556 | Twenty minutes later the dinghy returns with the four men towards the tug which was evidently waiting for them before proceeding-- where? |
11556 | Very true, but what if, instead of a bottle a diminutive, tightly closed keg were used? |
11556 | Was I passed through a porthole? |
11556 | Was anybody coming to my cell? |
11556 | Was it Count d''Artigas''intention to wait there till daybreak brought a breeze with it? |
11556 | Was it not dangerous to stay where they were after their daring raid? |
11556 | Was it not the door by which I was going to escape from my prison? |
11556 | Was not liberty awaiting me on the other side? |
11556 | Was she, then, specially privileged, and to be spared the bother of being searched? |
11556 | Was the Count d''Artigas considered too high and mighty a personage to be thus molested, and delayed even for an hour? |
11556 | Was the air renewed while I slept? |
11556 | We shall end by getting Roch''s thunderbolts entirely in our own hand, and then----""Are you sure, Serko?" |
11556 | Were Thomas Roch and Gaydon so safely hidden that their hiding- place could not possibly be discovered? |
11556 | Were these moral means applicable to the case of Thomas Roch? |
11556 | What are the islands or groups of islands to be found in the direction we are going, ere the continent of the Old World is reached? |
11556 | What can I reply to such insensate assertions? |
11556 | What can this compensation be? |
11556 | What could have inspired that Count d''Artigas with the unfortunate curiosity to visit Healthful House? |
11556 | What could he have procured with his piastres and bank- notes in the small markets of New- Berne? |
11556 | What did it all mean? |
11556 | What has been his past? |
11556 | What has happened since the sudden aggression of which I was the victim near the pavilion? |
11556 | What if that bottle contained a letter? |
11556 | What if the madman cries out-- what if he should resist-- what if his keeper gives the alarm?" |
11556 | What is the use of waxing wroth with this jester? |
11556 | What is this? |
11556 | What is to prevent me from knocking his brains out? |
11556 | What was the cause of the explosion? |
11556 | What were they going to do with me? |
11556 | What will the end be as far as I am personally concerned? |
11556 | What would they go further inland for? |
11556 | When Ker Karraje orders the latter to launch his engines against the ships will he remember what I told him? |
11556 | Where am I? |
11556 | Where am I? |
11556 | Where does he hail from? |
11556 | Where does it come from? |
11556 | Where had the band hidden themselves since they had ceased their depredations? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Where? |
11556 | Who are they? |
11556 | Who in America would have any idea that the rich yachtsman so well known in all the eastern ports abides in the solitude of Back Cup mountain? |
11556 | Who in Bermuda imagines that a vessel is accustomed to lay up in this secret creek? |
11556 | Who knows but what I may receive more consideration than if I remain Warder Gaydon? |
11556 | Who knows what the future has in store for me? |
11556 | Who were they?" |
11556 | Why am I not permitted to cast one glance over the ocean towards the distant horizon of the Bermudas? |
11556 | Why had they thus abandoned the islet with the intention, as it pretty soon appeared, of never returning to it? |
11556 | Why has he severed himself from the world? |
11556 | Why has she stopped? |
11556 | Why is she not provided with her own means of propulsion, like other pleasure- boats? |
11556 | Why should I not attempt it, since no hope of being restored to liberty is held out to me? |
11556 | Why should he not have recovered his reason? |
11556 | Why should this warship cause a pleasure- yacht to turn out of its way? |
11556 | Why was Thomas Roch abducted from Healthful House in the manner already fully described? |
11556 | Why, therefore, should they have desired to kidnap a mere hospital attendant? |
11556 | Will he be able to resist the temptation if they offer him the exorbitant price that he demands? |
11556 | Will he refuse to obey? |
11556 | Will he succeed better than I did? |
11556 | Will not his crime appear to him in all its horror? |
11556 | Would it not be better to end in this way than to spend years and years amid these infernal and infamous surroundings? |
11556 | Would this pirate break out in a fresh place? |
11556 | Yes, why not dignify it with the title since this habitation has been arranged with a certain art? |
11556 | You remember me, of course?" |
11556 | why can I not go and breathe, if only for a single instant, the vivifying air outside? |
50372 | A gap, Don Christoval? |
50372 | All goes well with the schooner, I hope, Captain Portlack? |
50372 | And come you and dine with us this evening, Mr. Portlack, will you? |
50372 | And how long is the job going to take us, I wonder? |
50372 | And now what is to be done? |
50372 | And now, Miss Noble,said I,"I hope I have made you understand how it happens that I am here?" |
50372 | And pray, how is Miss Noble, sir? |
50372 | And what has happened to me since I have been here? |
50372 | And you put Mariana and me and my effects on board the first passing ship that will receive us? |
50372 | Anybody wounded? |
50372 | Are all returned, saving the captain? |
50372 | Are ye able to stand? |
50372 | Are you a Roman Catholic? |
50372 | Are you hurt? |
50372 | Are you ready? |
50372 | Are you sure of that? |
50372 | Are you the master? |
50372 | At dawn shall we be out of sight of the coast? |
50372 | At what hour, sir,I asked,"do you wish to land?" |
50372 | Ay, but what besides Tom? |
50372 | Ay,said he, with a knowing look entering his eyes,"but suppose the father had obliged the lady to take her wedding ring off? |
50372 | But first of all,said Captain Dopping,"who''s keeping a look- out yonder? |
50372 | But is there no one to help you to keep a look- out? |
50372 | But suppose that she is sailing to Australia or to India? |
50372 | But then-- but then? |
50372 | But what are you to find out by listening? |
50372 | But what does it signify? |
50372 | But what is to become of my schooner when you have her in England? |
50372 | But where else? |
50372 | Did he say_ steal_? |
50372 | Did her father, Captain Noble, say anything during the time you were guarding him-- while you, or whoever else it was, stood watch over him? |
50372 | Did the Spaniards mount the stairs alone? |
50372 | Did you get it? |
50372 | Did you never fear that Don Christoval would one day or night attempt to carry you off? |
50372 | Did you see Don Christoval stabbed? |
50372 | Did you tell me you were taking me home? |
50372 | Do n''t Don Christoval and his friend mean to come? |
50372 | Do not you know where you are, Miss Noble? |
50372 | Do you assent, Señor, do you assent? |
50372 | Do you know Deal? |
50372 | Do you know navigation? |
50372 | Do you speak English, Tom? |
50372 | Do you want to be the next victim? |
50372 | Does she eat and drink? |
50372 | Does the schooner make good way? |
50372 | Does''ee understand? |
50372 | Don Christoval wants to know if you smoke? |
50372 | England-- home? |
50372 | For what? |
50372 | From Cadiz, d''ye say?--to where? |
50372 | Had he any property in Cuba? |
50372 | Has all been still within? |
50372 | Has consciousness returned to her? |
50372 | Have I not a lien upon her? |
50372 | Have you any religion? |
50372 | Have you heard the lady speaking-- have you heard her voice? |
50372 | Have you seen her? |
50372 | Have you the pawn- ticket for the watch and chain? |
50372 | Have you the things upon you? |
50372 | Here,said he,"what about my money?" |
50372 | How close do you mean to sail, Capitan? |
50372 | How come you to be at sea with no more crew than one little nigger? |
50372 | How did she come by the knife? |
50372 | How did you meet him? |
50372 | How do you feel now? |
50372 | How do you feel? |
50372 | How do you find her in looks after her terrible experience? |
50372 | How do you know she is an American? |
50372 | How does the poor lady do, sir? |
50372 | How does the weather promise? |
50372 | How far d''ye reckon the coast of Cadiz to be distant, sir? |
50372 | How far off is the land? |
50372 | How is madame? |
50372 | How is she watched at night, do you know? |
50372 | How is the schooner to be steered? |
50372 | How long have you been in this plight? |
50372 | How long is it now, Mr. Portlack, since I was stolen from my father''s house? |
50372 | How long to Cuba? |
50372 | How many go to your crew? |
50372 | How many of the likes of them chaps in the boat over the side down there would be needed for such a job as that? |
50372 | How old are you? |
50372 | How shall I address her? |
50372 | How?--terminates? |
50372 | I am now in command here, as I suppose you know? |
50372 | I hope they did not burn the house down? |
50372 | I hope,said the man Andrew Trapp,"that it ai n''t going to come to our using these here tools?" |
50372 | I trust Miss Noble has told you,said I,"how it happens that I was on board this vessel on the night of her abduction?" |
50372 | In what? |
50372 | Is Butler forward there? |
50372 | Is Don Christoval still resolved to go to Cuba? |
50372 | Is he dead, sir? |
50372 | Is it a fine house? |
50372 | Is it true, massa? |
50372 | Is she sleeping? |
50372 | Is she watched? |
50372 | Is the lady still singing? |
50372 | Is your lady dead? |
50372 | It is a position of trust; it is a position of distinction on board ship? |
50372 | Mr. Portlack, tell me, have I been out of my mind? |
50372 | No extra pay goes to the job, I suppose? |
50372 | Now, Miss Noble,said I,"what story shall I tell those people, should they heave to and send a boat, as I hope and believe they will?" |
50372 | Pray, Miss Noble, tell me how you feel? |
50372 | Pray, how much do you want? |
50372 | Pray,said I,"what is wrong with you that you asked us to send a boat?" |
50372 | Seems the other way about, do n''t it? |
50372 | Shall you persist in sailing to Cuba, sir? |
50372 | Short of men, hey? |
50372 | Should she show no signs of mending, shall you persevere in this voyage to Cuba, sir? |
50372 | Sing? |
50372 | Stop, mister,he cried,"how might_ you_ be rated aboard your ship?" |
50372 | Supposing it as you say, sir,he inquired,"what''ud be the consequences of the job to us men?" |
50372 | That puts it correctly, I_ think_, lads? |
50372 | The lady is my wife: you will allow that I have a right to her? |
50372 | The number includes you and the cook and the nigger lad? |
50372 | The owner of this schooner? |
50372 | Then vot sall become of me? |
50372 | To what port? |
50372 | To whom did he say it? |
50372 | Vot ees secon''mate? |
50372 | Watching what? |
50372 | Well, then, Butler, you''re displaced, d''ye see? 50372 Well, your minds are easy now, I hope, my lads?" |
50372 | Were you shipped at Cadiz? |
50372 | What about our money? 50372 What about our money?" |
50372 | What are you? |
50372 | What became of that carriage? |
50372 | What did you tell her? |
50372 | What did your daughter tell you about those two men? |
50372 | What do you mean by mad? |
50372 | What do you mean to do? |
50372 | What do you think of this schooner? |
50372 | What do you want? |
50372 | What do''ee say? |
50372 | What does he say? |
50372 | What ees it dat Capitan Dopping say? |
50372 | What ees it you say? |
50372 | What happened next? |
50372 | What is it? |
50372 | What is that idea? |
50372 | What is the name of this vessel? |
50372 | What is to be done? |
50372 | What is to be done? |
50372 | What is to be done? |
50372 | What is wrong? |
50372 | What of that? |
50372 | What ship is yourn? |
50372 | What will my father and mother think? 50372 What will you do, sir?" |
50372 | What you weesh me say? |
50372 | What you wish me to do,said I,"is to take charge of the schooner while you and the crew are ashore?" |
50372 | What''s all this got to do with paying of us? |
50372 | What''s happened below? |
50372 | What''s the name of this craft? |
50372 | What''s your other name? |
50372 | What, meanwhile, am I to do for clothes? |
50372 | When ees he to bury? |
50372 | Where am I? |
50372 | Where are they? |
50372 | Where are you bound to? |
50372 | Where are you from? |
50372 | Where are you from? |
50372 | Where do you go when you die? |
50372 | Where does your mate live? |
50372 | Where is Don Christoval? |
50372 | Where is Mariana? |
50372 | Where is the cook? |
50372 | Where''s the passing ship to come from? |
50372 | Where,said I,"was he mistaken?" |
50372 | Where? |
50372 | Who is Don Christoval? |
50372 | Who is Don Lazarillo? |
50372 | Who is the owner, d''ye say? |
50372 | Who remained in charge of the boat? |
50372 | Who shrieked just now? |
50372 | Who taught you that? |
50372 | Who''s a- going to pay us men? |
50372 | Who''s a- going to pay us? |
50372 | Who''s a- going to wait for her? 50372 Who''s done it?" |
50372 | Who''s done this? |
50372 | Who''s going to navigate the vessel? |
50372 | Who''s going to pay us? |
50372 | Who''s the owner? |
50372 | Why am I here? |
50372 | Why am I here? |
50372 | Why did you not, before this evening, tell me that the lady was gone for mad, as you call it? |
50372 | Why do n''t you stop with me? |
50372 | Why, do you know? |
50372 | Why? |
50372 | Will it be long before we arrive home? |
50372 | Will she have a knife about her? |
50372 | Will they return? |
50372 | Will you deny that Mariana speaks the truth? |
50372 | Will you descend into the cabin and see her? |
50372 | Will you not wait till you have eaten a trifle? 50372 Will you,"said Don Christoval,"agree to assist me in obtaining possession of my wife?" |
50372 | With me you leave Mariana and the negro boy? |
50372 | You are a gentleman by birth? |
50372 | You are satisfied to remain with me, Tom,said I,"when the sailors leave me?" |
50372 | You do not doubt that it is a genuine business? |
50372 | You do not wish to imply that she is shamming? |
50372 | You know the way to Cuba? |
50372 | You mean yourself? |
50372 | You talk of transportation for life, Mr. Portlack; d''ye want it to happen, sir? |
50372 | You will own that? |
50372 | You wish me to eat in my own quarters, Don Christoval? 50372 You''ll be able to see your way through this job?" |
50372 | You''re merely frightening the man, I hope, sir,said he,"with this here talk of sailing to England?" |
50372 | Your daughter told you that she was insensible, sir, and that she continued insensible for many days? |
50372 | ''Sides,"he whipped out,"who''s going to pay me my money, now the Spaniard as hired us is dead and gone?" |
50372 | After a pause I said,"When did you hear him say this?" |
50372 | Am I meaningless to you?" |
50372 | And d''ye think us men''ud be content to mess about in this blooming schooner, may be for weeks, not knowing where we are and not knowing how to head? |
50372 | And how do the lady relish the notion of having stuck the big Spaniard?" |
50372 | And next, supposing there to be eyes on the watch, who''s to guess our business? |
50372 | And what about the schooner?" |
50372 | Another consideration: suppose I had declined Don Christoval''s proposal, how should I have been served? |
50372 | As you are going into the town, will you engage a sitting- room and bedroom for me at the best hotel in the place? |
50372 | Ask the gent who''s a- going to pay us, cook? |
50372 | But how shall I serve you by visiting madame, your wife?" |
50372 | But how was it possible to make sure of the truth, one way or the other? |
50372 | But suppose, while you''re ashore, a boat should come off and speak us?" |
50372 | But what of Madame del Padron, the Ida of Don Christoval''s heart, if not of his hearth? |
50372 | But will you descend, Captain Portlack, and see her?" |
50372 | But you are not deceiving me?" |
50372 | But, then, were we likely to be pursued? |
50372 | By the bones of St. Thomas, was he to be stuck in the back like a pig, or to have his head half severed from his body in his sleep? |
50372 | Can you lend me a couple of hands?" |
50372 | Can you lend me a couple of hands?" |
50372 | Captain Dopping believed it; the five seamen believed it; and what was there for me to ground suspicion upon? |
50372 | Captain Dopping, you can lend this poor man some dry linen and clothes?" |
50372 | Captain Hoste cried out,"But what is wrong with you?" |
50372 | D''ye hear me, cook?" |
50372 | Did he say nothing more to the point than to abuse you as pirates?" |
50372 | Did you hear Don Christoval tell me just now what happened ashore?" |
50372 | Did you hear it here?" |
50372 | Do not I owe my life to you all?" |
50372 | Do not you see that he perishes of hunger and of thirst and of cold?" |
50372 | Do you see? |
50372 | Does he speak English?" |
50372 | For joy at seeing her husband?" |
50372 | For what purpose was this done? |
50372 | Had her joy on finding herself with her husband again-- the husband of her adoration-- proved too much for her mind? |
50372 | Had the schooner sailed on some piratic expedition? |
50372 | Have you money with you, or the equivalent of money?" |
50372 | He approached me close, and peered to make sure of me, and said:"Well, now you are one of us, what think ye of the job?" |
50372 | He came to the edge of the wall, and, looking down, shouted out in a hoarse voice:"Is this schooner the Casandra?" |
50372 | He chewed upon this and then said:"But a wedding ring ben''t no infallible sign of marriage, is it, sir? |
50372 | He muttered something under his breath and then said,"And supposing the lady to be his lawful wife, sir?" |
50372 | He ran his gaze over my figure to observe what garments belonging to him I had arrayed myself in, then said,"What is your name?" |
50372 | He then said, with a smile:"You have lost your ship, sir?" |
50372 | How had fared the two sailors whom the murderous rogue of a Yankee skipper had pilfered from me? |
50372 | How many were there?" |
50372 | How to thank you-- But about this boy? |
50372 | I also gather that when you have regained the lady you proceed forthwith to the island of Cuba?" |
50372 | I asked Mariana the question plain, and he says''No''to it--''No,''in the hearing of us all; but now you''ve seen her, sir, and she_ is_ mad?" |
50372 | I cried;"how am I to transact your business if you interrupt me? |
50372 | I hope you are feeling very much better?" |
50372 | I say I_ seem_, and yet I am haunted by a sort of horrid memory-- how shall I express it? |
50372 | I say,''Why you no sleep now in the fok''sle?'' |
50372 | I shall be happy to do so; but I presume I am to be waited upon?" |
50372 | I suppose the crew will be discharged on the vessel''s arrival at Cuba?" |
50372 | I was about to go on deck when the boy said to me,"Do yah know where yaw''ve to sleep?" |
50372 | I was about to quit him when he said:"Beg pardon, Mr. Portlack, what might the Don have been a- saying just now?" |
50372 | I was slightly startled, and answered,"What good can I do, Don Christoval?" |
50372 | If not, then how long would this slumber last? |
50372 | If you men go away in the boat, will the negro boy Tom be willing to remain with me?" |
50372 | In imagination I marked them cautiously approach the house-- but what sort of house was it? |
50372 | Into what- parallels had the Ocean Ranger penetrated by this time, and what man of her crew had been selected to fill my place? |
50372 | Is not this as you would wish, men?" |
50372 | Is she in her room?" |
50372 | Is this agreeable to you, lads?" |
50372 | Is this voyage to Cuba to be prosecuted? |
50372 | Is your Cuban port fixed upon?" |
50372 | It''s still summer time, ai n''t it?" |
50372 | Let me see him, will you?" |
50372 | Mariana came out of the bows and called out to me with his incommunicable accent:"Señor, do you see?" |
50372 | Mariana came out of the cabin and was trudging forward when I called to him:"How is the lady?" |
50372 | Mariana translating, the dialogue took this form:--"The men wish to know who is to pay them their wages?" |
50372 | Might not this dark day prove fatal to us?" |
50372 | Now, would Captain Noble wish this? |
50372 | Pointing to my fingers, then to the chain of my watch, and then to the body of the Spaniard, I said,"Will you see to his property?" |
50372 | Portlack?" |
50372 | Portlack?" |
50372 | Portlack?" |
50372 | Portlack?" |
50372 | Portlack?" |
50372 | Shall we signal her?" |
50372 | She viewed me anxiously and searchingly, and said,"Have I been mad?" |
50372 | Should Miss Noble dash out of her cabin armed with a knife, what would Tom be able to do? |
50372 | Suppose an accident should befall Captain Dopping-- how should we reach Cuba: nay, how should we reach a near safe port? |
50372 | The more I know of you the more I honor you.... And she stabbed him to the heart? |
50372 | The other answered and was about quitting me, but stopped and said:"Let me see, Captain Portlack, I believe you sleep under the main hatch?" |
50372 | Then, glancing along the decks of the vessel, he added,"So_ this_ is the blasted schooner, hey?" |
50372 | Was his tale to be doubted? |
50372 | Was life ebbing away as she thus rested? |
50372 | Was she dark or fair? |
50372 | Was she lying awake yonder, expecting her husband? |
50372 | Was there some colossal undertaking of smuggling in contemplation? |
50372 | Was this sleep the forerunner of death? |
50372 | Was-- I mean, is the man in any way related to you?" |
50372 | We''re too few as it is, and you''re just one of those rusty pieces of old iron which want working up, Yankee fashion; so turn to, d''ye hear?" |
50372 | Well, Miss Noble?" |
50372 | Were they to be trusted at a pinch, I wondered? |
50372 | What about leaving the vessel under this small canvas?" |
50372 | What am I to say, and what am I to do?" |
50372 | What d''ye suspect?" |
50372 | What did I expect to see? |
50372 | What did it all mean? |
50372 | What do you want?" |
50372 | What had driven the lady mad? |
50372 | What is he doing there now, d''ye know?" |
50372 | What more natural, seeing how he was all agin the marriage?" |
50372 | What now do you wish to say?" |
50372 | What sort of person is Don Lazarillo de Tormes?" |
50372 | What story am I to tell the captain whom I ask to receive you? |
50372 | What vessel received them?" |
50372 | What was I to do? |
50372 | What was her age? |
50372 | What would you do were you suddenly confronted by a mad woman armed with a long knife? |
50372 | What''s to be done, I say? |
50372 | What''ud they find? |
50372 | Who knows of this beside yourself?" |
50372 | Who was the spy he employed, I wonder?" |
50372 | Who will pay those men for the work they have done, the risks they have run, and have yet to run?" |
50372 | Who would be able to guess at our destination? |
50372 | Who''s a- going to pay me?" |
50372 | Will it ever come to half- way to Cuba? |
50372 | Will they even know that this vessel was lying off the coast to receive me?" |
50372 | Will you take it afresh?" |
50372 | Would Don Christoval challenge me for my suspicions? |
50372 | Would my lady, your mother, desire this?" |
50372 | Would she have struggled had Don Christoval been her husband, to whom she was yearning to be reunited? |
50372 | You know what you have to watch?" |
50372 | You will go ashore armed, of course?" |
50372 | and how is she a- doing, sir?" |
50372 | for as to my coachman and footman-- what do you think? |
50372 | he cried, shouting the words with a face of horror to Mariana;"you will proceed to England?" |
50372 | said I,"watching the lady, hey? |
50372 | the tall Spaniard cried, with an impassioned gesture of his arm;"you will help me to assert my right? |
50372 | what name is written in her?" |
36220 | ''Good- bye''? |
36220 | ''Why not? 36220 And bolted the door?" |
36220 | And how can you see? |
36220 | And must I look pleasant? |
36220 | And where is this house? |
36220 | Are n''t they ready? |
36220 | Are n''t_ you_ going back to school? |
36220 | Are the downstairs windows barred with iron, too? |
36220 | Are you ill? |
36220 | Are you the man who brought me to Lowndes Square an hour or so ago? |
36220 | Are you thinking of writing to her? |
36220 | Are_ you_ Mrs. Harborough? 36220 Aunt Josephine?" |
36220 | Awful hole to be in, is n''t it? |
36220 | Because,Betty said, and she looked at the young man again,"only because I saw so many of your-- of Mr. Whitby- Dawson''s photographs----""Really?" |
36220 | But are n''t you going away to- morrow? |
36220 | But if we do n''t,I said,"how are we going to live-- Bettina and I, without the pension?" |
36220 | But my----( I suppressed"my aunt"with an inward twist of questioning anguish)"----shall I not be asked where I am going and why?" |
36220 | But what sort is a skirt- dance? |
36220 | But, Ranny,I said,"how can you do all this? |
36220 | Ca n''t we sit down? |
36220 | Could you hear something very unexpected, even horrible, and not cry out? |
36220 | Danced badly? |
36220 | Did Lady Helmstone say she and Hermione would walk back with Bettina? |
36220 | Did n''t I tell you,she said to Ranny,"Duncombe is a place where if a man goes in, he does n''t come out?" |
36220 | Did you ask? |
36220 | Did you drive through the Park? |
36220 | Do n''t know caviar? |
36220 | Do n''t you skirt- dance? |
36220 | Do people not leave London in August nowadays? |
36220 | Do you mind? |
36220 | Do you see yourself going to classes in London, cramming yourself with all this? |
36220 | Do you think,I whispered to my man,"you could ask to have a window opened?" |
36220 | Does n''t she want to? |
36220 | Does she expect dinner to go to her, too? |
36220 | Does she tell you what they talk about? |
36220 | Drugged? |
36220 | End? 36220 Equipment for what?" |
36220 | Had Mademoiselle Bettina not taken it out? |
36220 | Have n''t I made you understand? 36220 Have they put on the chain?" |
36220 | Have you any idea where you are? |
36220 | Have you ever fainted? |
36220 | Heard_ them_? |
36220 | How can I say? 36220 How can you be sure? |
36220 | How did you know of the existence of these people? |
36220 | How do we know? |
36220 | How do you know they have bolted it? |
36220 | How long,she demanded,"are you going to stay?" |
36220 | How was it you came to know that? |
36220 | How will it end? |
36220 | How_ can_ I? 36220 I said he was jealous of Captain Boyne, or why should he call him''that fellow''? |
36220 | I suppose, then, you heard me try the door? |
36220 | I wo n''t go early walks for the next-- how many days am I to be cooped up when the morning is at its best? |
36220 | If she knew what you had told me, what would she do? |
36220 | If the policeman knew,she said--"if he so much as suspected, why did he not stop the motor?" |
36220 | If we never go anywhere-- never see anyone, what is the use in being equipped? |
36220 | If, after all, they were to prevent me-- what, what then? |
36220 | In this weather? |
36220 | Is Betty going? |
36220 | Is he married? |
36220 | Is n''t it so? 36220 Is that where Betty is?" |
36220 | It is different, you mean, in Crutchley Street? |
36220 | Look here,he said,"why should n''t we go and meet Annan?--warn him-- eh?" |
36220 | Luggage, miss? |
36220 | Married? |
36220 | Matter? 36220 Me?" |
36220 | No? 36220 Not? |
36220 | Now? |
36220 | Oh, Art is it? |
36220 | Oh, and what are you now? |
36220 | Oh, w- will you? |
36220 | Oh, you prefer crême de menthe, do you? |
36220 | One of the Helmstones? |
36220 | Other claims? |
36220 | Ought I? |
36220 | Put what? |
36220 | She tink to go on ze stage? |
36220 | Show me the way, will you? 36220 Suppose by some miracle you were to pass the entrance exams.--have you any idea how long they keep you grinding away afterwards?" |
36220 | The fall? |
36220 | To- night-- to- night; what can we do to- night? |
36220 | Under? 36220 Wait"? |
36220 | We are not to be together? |
36220 | Well, is n''t that the intention of most people who put up a cottage in the country? |
36220 | Well, oblige the company by telling us what you look for in a story? |
36220 | Well, she has other preoccupations, has n''t she? |
36220 | Well, what of that? |
36220 | What am I doing? |
36220 | What are the ends of life? |
36220 | What are you doing? |
36220 | What are you planting there? |
36220 | What call? |
36220 | What did she say? |
36220 | What do you do then? |
36220 | What do you really want them for? |
36220 | What do you want a bungalow_ for_, then? |
36220 | What ees it? |
36220 | What in the world do you think that means? |
36220 | What is he going to tell me? |
36220 | What is it? |
36220 | What is it? |
36220 | What is the matter? |
36220 | What makes you think I''m going to settle down? |
36220 | What on earth do you mean? |
36220 | What people do they discuss? |
36220 | What put such an idea into your head? |
36220 | What put this into your head? |
36220 | What should I hear? |
36220 | What time is it in? |
36220 | What time is it? |
36220 | What was that? |
36220 | What way-- way to what? |
36220 | What will you have? |
36220 | What would n''t she understand? |
36220 | What''s the use? |
36220 | What_ are_ you doing? 36220 When did they do that?" |
36220 | When is he here? |
36220 | Where are you going? |
36220 | Where do you find wild thyme? |
36220 | Where does your aunt live? |
36220 | Who are you? |
36220 | Who is to be there? |
36220 | Who was that gentleman? |
36220 | Who,( with her air of listening to sounds beyond my ken)"who can all those people be?" |
36220 | Who? |
36220 | Why did n''t he arrest the woman? |
36220 | Why did n''t you think of it? 36220 Why must you have wild thyme there?" |
36220 | Why not? |
36220 | Why should I? |
36220 | Why should they be''in hand''? |
36220 | Why was that? |
36220 | Why? |
36220 | Why? |
36220 | Why? |
36220 | Why? |
36220 | Will they for you? |
36220 | Will you drive very fast? |
36220 | Wo n''t you do it if I ask you to? |
36220 | Yes, looks quite Bond Street, does n''t it? |
36220 | Yes, yes; for you, Mademoiselle, ze note sall be sérénité... hein? 36220 Yet someone came to the unbolted door----?" |
36220 | You are ze careful one, hein? |
36220 | You do n''t believe I would lie to you? |
36220 | You do n''t mean there are many? |
36220 | You do n''t mean to say you were in there all the time? |
36220 | You do n''t think she is going to die? |
36220 | You do n''t,I whispered,"you do n''t mean... quite soon?" |
36220 | You feel sure I could n''t? |
36220 | You haf a photografie-- hein? |
36220 | You have never been to London since you were a child-- and you come all this way just for a few hours? |
36220 | You like caviar? |
36220 | You mean Betty is too young? |
36220 | You mean Hermione? 36220 You mean curing?" |
36220 | You surely did have other claims? |
36220 | You think I would n''t? |
36220 | You think, then, even if Aunt Josephine helped----"Who is Aunt Josephine? |
36220 | You think,Mrs. Harborough said,"that the woman was suspicious?" |
36220 | You will bring''the List''and come with us at once? |
36220 | _ Me?_she said. |
36220 | _ This house?_He nodded. |
36220 | _ Where are you going to...?_Betty sang. |
36220 | _Who wrote that?" |
36220 | ***** My mother never woke till nearly nine, and of course the first thing she asked was,"Where is Betty?" |
36220 | ----asking me like that,_ at a ball_, if I liked Captain Boyne best-- a man I''d never seen before-- don''t you call it very rude?" |
36220 | --Betty tossed her head, laughing softly--''and I''m not your wife----''"I asked her if she had said it like that? |
36220 | A marble terrace by moonlight.... No? |
36220 | After I shut the door, I opened it again, and called out:"Oh, what was it you were going to tell me?" |
36220 | After a moment:"Was that here?" |
36220 | After a second:"How did she get hold of you?" |
36220 | And Betty, suspicious, insistent:"Not_ never_?" |
36220 | And I asked questions about that time-- questions that made him stare:"How did you guess? |
36220 | And I had done her hair like that----"_ What is your fortune, my pretty maid?_"The man had come out and softly shut the door. |
36220 | And besides----""Besides?" |
36220 | And can you valk in it? |
36220 | And had I seen the sun go down? |
36220 | And he began badly:"''You''ve told Boyne he ca n''t have this waltz?''" |
36220 | And he repeated it:"''Single harness,''eh?" |
36220 | And her time---- Was that nearly over too? |
36220 | And now again I asked:"Why had it to be you?" |
36220 | And should we always have the pension? |
36220 | And the third? |
36220 | And then, what do you think I said?" |
36220 | And this was a question of a cruise of-- how many weeks? |
36220 | And very sharp on that:"Why not?" |
36220 | And were our boxes labelled? |
36220 | And what had the Government done even for Science? |
36220 | And what was she like-- this lady? |
36220 | And when? |
36220 | And why, I asked Bettina, did she feel so? |
36220 | And why_ should_ we? |
36220 | And would I like to see him? |
36220 | And would we stay for the Coronation? |
36220 | And yet...."Why should you want to do that?" |
36220 | And, to divert her thoughts, I asked:"Who takes care of her-- the little daughter-- while you are away?" |
36220 | And, with that start I had learned from my mother-- where was Betty? |
36220 | Are these, then, deliberate criminals? |
36220 | As still as if I were taking your picture?" |
36220 | Bettina said at last that she hated most dreadfully to bother Madame Aurore, but where was that old photograph? |
36220 | Bettina said soothingly:"I suppose you left her with some good friend?" |
36220 | Bettina went about the house, singing:"''Where are you going to, my pretty maid?'' |
36220 | Betty asked why would he? |
36220 | Betty-- Betty, what am I to do? |
36220 | Betty-- Betty-- who will help us? |
36220 | Brighton? |
36220 | But I managed to bring out the words:"Is he going, do you think?" |
36220 | But did she not think that for some great and important end, my father would have been the first to say, let the jewels be sold? |
36220 | But had I or anybody else ever heard of a man who was a doctor himself wanting his sister, or his daughter to study medicine? |
36220 | But he said:"When she begins to play, or to sing, you are to get up quite quietly--_can_ you?" |
36220 | But what had become of the ideal of confidence? |
36220 | But when they''re young, what_ does_ it matter?" |
36220 | But where_ was_ our"slight and only clue"? |
36220 | But who was I to reach the Queen? |
36220 | But who was the man with her? |
36220 | But who was worthy to make an evening- frock fit for London? |
36220 | But why? |
36220 | But, going downstairs, I asked him how_ was_ I to put it to my mother? |
36220 | CHAPTER XIV WHERE IS BETTINA? |
36220 | CHAPTER XXIX WHERE? |
36220 | Ca n''t you see what a wild idea it is?" |
36220 | Could I remember what he was like? |
36220 | Could I trust even Eric to help? |
36220 | Could n''t I trust him to know? |
36220 | Could she lift ze arm-- hein?" |
36220 | Could she, when she was in her teens, have felt the least as I did? |
36220 | Could they mean, then, to go home...? |
36220 | Did n''t I say,"Hermione laughed,"no man ever knows when to come away from this place?" |
36220 | Did not Betty know, above all, did not I know, the feeling of all the proper sort of mothers about young girls being away from home at night? |
36220 | Did the stranger object to jumping ditches and climbing stiles? |
36220 | Eh-- what?" |
36220 | Eh----?" |
36220 | Even if the chauffeurs, all three, were decent enough ordinarily, what if just to- night they had been drinking? |
36220 | For he went on quickly to say:"Suppose I sit with your mother for that hour, while you go out and get some exercise?" |
36220 | For whom was that"but"? |
36220 | Had I no regard for my little sister, sitting there in the current of raw air? |
36220 | Had he, then, come so early for"nothing in particular"? |
36220 | Had it come to this house to serve as model? |
36220 | Had she not told me herself that my first duty was to take care of Betty? |
36220 | Had the strange woman kissed Bettina? |
36220 | Had this, as the little dressmaker hinted, something of sheer sickness in it-- an invalid''s caprice? |
36220 | Has he you?" |
36220 | Have n''t you... other claims?" |
36220 | Have you ever noticed that? |
36220 | He had said to her after a certain occurrence----"What occurrence?" |
36220 | He hesitated and then:"How good are your nerves?" |
36220 | He lifted his umbrella, and seemed to make a sign:"May I come in?" |
36220 | He looked at me:"And you?" |
36220 | He studied at the University there part of one year----""Studied duelling?" |
36220 | Hein? |
36220 | His tone asked: and what business was it of mine? |
36220 | How do they come on?" |
36220 | How had she been brought to have someone tending me who did not call himself a Healer, yet who I felt might well have cured any malady but mine? |
36220 | How long was it since I had been away from Bettina? |
36220 | How much had I given away? |
36220 | How old must she be before she could wear the pendant? |
36220 | I asked him to tell us about them: were the sisters like him? |
36220 | I could only suggest that if she was afraid of anything of the kind, why should she not speak to Betty? |
36220 | I knew all this was wild and foolish... then why did these imaginings make me feel I could not bear the suspense another moment? |
36220 | I looked back again:"Is that the only reason?" |
36220 | I might be sure they would do all they could to discover the house----"When? |
36220 | I remembered I had gone back into that last Darkness saying, as I had said ten thousand times before:"Why had this come to Betty?" |
36220 | I said I was sure they would not, though an hour before I would have asked, Why not? |
36220 | I was going to say"Why not?" |
36220 | I went secretly, a roundabout way through the shrubberies, to bring Betty in, reluctant and looking back at Dora:"Come again to- morrow?" |
36220 | I, myself? |
36220 | Is n''t it this window?" |
36220 | It was better, she answered, to be less comfortable and safe, than to be more comfortable and----"And what?" |
36220 | Let us see, did it lend itself? |
36220 | Madame Aurore asked each day, How was madame? |
36220 | My mother was the first to speak:"They are haphazard people, I sometimes think.... You do n''t suppose they would send her back with a groom...?" |
36220 | Neither haste nor perturbation in the voice that asked me:"What has happened?" |
36220 | No other friend? |
36220 | Now, can you sit quite still for a few minutes? |
36220 | Of course, my mother asked why such unbrotherly behaviour? |
36220 | Often they asked, Would she come to a garden- party? |
36220 | Oh, very distingué, hein?" |
36220 | Oh, why are you Queen of England, if you ca n''t help Betty?" |
36220 | Only, would n''t she be up to the eyes in work? |
36220 | Or is it worse?..." |
36220 | Or shall I ask someone else?" |
36220 | Ranny walked behind, absolutely silent, till he burst out:"May I smoke?" |
36220 | She went one day("Well, does n''t the field belong to us?") |
36220 | Should I run along the street ringing at all the bells? |
36220 | Should we have to sell Duncombe House? |
36220 | So I said:''If the Boynes are n''t nice, why are they here?'' |
36220 | Taxi- drivers were as much alike to country eyes as the cabs they drove---- But why ask me? |
36220 | The admission was made in an accent so coldly hopeless that Bettina, round- eyed, said:"Oh, dear, is n''t she a nice friend?" |
36220 | The first time Madame Aurore heard Bettina she arrested the rapid stab of her basting needle:"Who ees dat?" |
36220 | The inspector said, under certain circumstances, a warrant could be obtained to search the house.... And was the warrant ready? |
36220 | The question still was, Who, this side of London, could be trusted to make our frocks? |
36220 | Then of the elaborate grey head turning towards an old man, as if to ask: Well, what do you think of my nieces? |
36220 | Then that admirable Aunt wrote back:"Would next month do?" |
36220 | Then with that impatience of his, if you were doing other things while he was there:"How much more of that stuff are you going to put in?" |
36220 | Then, with unusual_ brusquerie_ where my mother was concerned, he added:"When_ I_ come to see people, what I say is,''How do you do?''" |
36220 | There must always be that question: what is going to become of me? |
36220 | This had been her one chance-- who else was likely to take her? |
36220 | To whom? |
36220 | To- morrow? |
36220 | Two taxi- cabs in the rank, and ours at the curb? |
36220 | Under what?" |
36220 | Underneath it what was happening? |
36220 | Was Hermione expecting to see the Boynes soon again?" |
36220 | Was eccentricity the sort of thing that grew worse as people grew older? |
36220 | Was he not a sort of a doctor? |
36220 | Was it drugged coffee that made me feel so lamed? |
36220 | Was it not better to write to him, rather than face another afternoon like yesterday? |
36220 | Was n''t it worse, I demanded, groping among the new perceptions dawning-- wasn''t it worse for Bettina to tease a dumb animal? |
36220 | Was she afraid of making these friends of the beautiful lady anxious about her? |
36220 | Was that a blackcap singing? |
36220 | Was there, then, some life- principle in such pain? |
36220 | Was this death?... |
36220 | Watching sideways-- watching... for what? |
36220 | Well, why not? |
36220 | What did I know?" |
36220 | What did he know about"her kind"? |
36220 | What did he say?" |
36220 | What did he say?" |
36220 | What did it all mean? |
36220 | What did they mean? |
36220 | What do you do with all those poor darling guinea- pigs?" |
36220 | What had I done? |
36220 | What had I noticed as we drove away from the station? |
36220 | What had Mr. Annan said the day before? |
36220 | What had been done by all the members of the Lords and Commons put together comparable to the achievements of-- for instance, Sanitary Science? |
36220 | What had he to be grateful for? |
36220 | What had he turned away for with that brisk air? |
36220 | What had he_ done_--except to use his great position as a rostrum? |
36220 | What had they done? |
36220 | What hung? |
36220 | What if he were not mad? |
36220 | What made her look like that? |
36220 | What magic light was this, then, that was shining on the world? |
36220 | What put that in your head?" |
36220 | What should be the matter?" |
36220 | What time is it?" |
36220 | What was I thinking of? |
36220 | What was happening at home all this time? |
36220 | What was it he had told me? |
36220 | What was the good of this man who was n''t a general practitioner? |
36220 | What was the white- capped figure looking at-- so steadily, so long? |
36220 | What was to become of us? |
36220 | What was wrong? |
36220 | What were they like? |
36220 | What, then, was our chief advantage? |
36220 | What_ did_ he mean? |
36220 | When was she going to be married? |
36220 | When?" |
36220 | Where did she live? |
36220 | Where is she?" |
36220 | Where should I go? |
36220 | Where was Bettina, in her ignorance, straying? |
36220 | Where was he going to keep them? |
36220 | Where was my mother in her lonely struggle? |
36220 | Where would she be when the foxgloves stood tall here among the bracken? |
36220 | Which way had we driven from Victoria? |
36220 | Who else? |
36220 | Who had Power? |
36220 | Who was there in all the world who really cared? |
36220 | Who was this with the hair rolled high and the pear- shaped earrings? |
36220 | Why had I not thought of that before? |
36220 | Why had she looked after us? |
36220 | Why have you put on your cloak? |
36220 | Why should not I, too, scorn delight and live laborious days? |
36220 | Why should_ I_ not rouse myself and nerve myself? |
36220 | Why was he not spending every thought and every hour in trying to find Bettina? |
36220 | Why was he troubling about me? |
36220 | Why was it wrong to mention the doctor''s visit? |
36220 | Why was she like this? |
36220 | Why, above all, should I, who was so much older...? |
36220 | Why? |
36220 | Will you believe that?" |
36220 | Will you just find out?" |
36220 | Would he come again at three, so that we might talk alone? |
36220 | Would she help with a children''s school- treat? |
36220 | Would she play bridge? |
36220 | Yes; and did I want to see him now? |
36220 | You crossed Oxford Street?" |
36220 | You do n''t know what chaklas are? |
36220 | You do n''t mean such a thing has happened before?" |
36220 | You were horribly frightened,_ were n''t_ you?" |
36220 | _ My_ story? |
36220 | _ Now_ do you understand?" |
36220 | _ Why_ have n''t you told him?''" |
36220 | how is it now?) |
36220 | is n''t this the kind of foolishness I was hoping to be saved from? |
36220 | what has happened to you?" |
36220 | you here again?" |
38347 | A bead-- a costly bead-- and you were not found out? |
38347 | A business man, then? |
38347 | A stranger''s? 38347 A woman''s, daintily shod; a woman of about the size of--""Who? |
38347 | Again? 38347 Ah, is she the one?" |
38347 | Am I not right? |
38347 | And by what right did he demand this? 38347 And did she? |
38347 | And during the time, you say, when Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s guests were assembling? 38347 And he?" |
38347 | And how do you like it here? |
38347 | And is that child Gwendolen? 38347 And may I ask,"he coldly continued,"how you have succeeded in connecting me with this young child''s disappearance?" |
38347 | And she? 38347 And she?" |
38347 | And what did you tell her? |
38347 | And what inference can we draw from that? |
38347 | And what?--what? |
38347 | And you told Mrs. Ocumpaugh this? |
38347 | And you want-- you intend, to measure those steps? |
38347 | And you would be willing? |
38347 | Any one else? |
38347 | Are as unreal as the dog? 38347 Are you dissatisfied?" |
38347 | Are you going to cross the floor? |
38347 | Are you not a--_detective_? |
38347 | Attracted? 38347 Blood on the ceiling of my old pavilion? |
38347 | Both? |
38347 | But the child is not dead? 38347 But the child?" |
38347 | But you have not answered my questions as to where this wagon is at present and under whose care? 38347 But you have not found Gwendolen?" |
38347 | Can you deny as well that you have been gone two days from this place? 38347 Can you see?" |
38347 | Can you think of any other? |
38347 | Certainly; are we not almost friends? |
38347 | Clue to what? 38347 Clue?" |
38347 | Could n''t Mrs. Carew tell us something about this? |
38347 | Did I not advise her right? |
38347 | Did n''t you recall the matter to her when you found the child missing? |
38347 | Did we do that? |
38347 | Did you look up? |
38347 | Did you not know it? |
38347 | Did you notice where the boards had been sawed? |
38347 | Did you see this woman? 38347 Did you think-- did any one think-- that those cries came from Gwendolen? |
38347 | Do n''t you see? 38347 Do you fear the police?" |
38347 | Do you feel better? |
38347 | Do you know her reasons for this? |
38347 | Do you know that I do n''t quite like the noises which are being made up there? |
38347 | Do you know that man? |
38347 | Do you know this child''s parentage and condition? |
38347 | Do you know who pasted that date upon the post? |
38347 | Do you mean that you are my friend? |
38347 | Do you not think Mrs. Ocumpaugh worthy some pity? 38347 Do you see that?" |
38347 | Do you suppose she knew it? |
38347 | Do you wish to talk to him_ here_? |
38347 | Doctor Pool? 38347 GWENDOLEN HERE?"] |
38347 | Good news? 38347 Gwendolen here?" |
38347 | Gwendolen here? |
38347 | Gwendolen? 38347 Harry what? |
38347 | Harry? |
38347 | Have I not said that I do not know? 38347 Her illness?" |
38347 | Her servants then? |
38347 | Here? |
38347 | His name? |
38347 | How could I,she asked,"when Mrs. Ocumpaugh did not close her eyes? |
38347 | How did Mrs. Ocumpaugh seem to like that? |
38347 | How do you do, little man? 38347 How? |
38347 | Hurt, Aline? |
38347 | Hurt? |
38347 | I do not like it either, but--"What have you found now? |
38347 | I know of one thing, but what else? |
38347 | I mean, why did she come thus suddenly, without warning me of what I might expect? 38347 I saw Gwendolen asleep; she held a string in her hand but no candy, and if she did--""Did you examine both hands, madam? |
38347 | I see-- and who is the woman? 38347 I want to see for myself if-- if--""If what, Jared?" |
38347 | I want? 38347 I wonder if you will have an equally wise reply to give to my next question?" |
38347 | If you can find her-- that is the first thing, is n''t it? |
38347 | In a half- foot of earth, madam? 38347 In money? |
38347 | In the disused part of the bungalow? 38347 In what direction, then?" |
38347 | In what respect are you a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh, and what makes you think I have her child in this house? |
38347 | Is Mrs. Carew so fond of money as all that? 38347 Is it not? |
38347 | Is one of those directed to Robert Trevitt? |
38347 | Is she a good woman? |
38347 | Is that your little nephew I''ve heard them tell about? 38347 Is the child quiet? |
38347 | Is the time too short? 38347 Is this letter, as you call it, so old?" |
38347 | It came out of Mrs. Carew''s grounds? |
38347 | Jewels? 38347 Little Miss Graham? |
38347 | Love? |
38347 | Madam, do you recognize this? |
38347 | Madam, what does this mean? 38347 Madam, what secret? |
38347 | Mr. Rathbone, perhaps? |
38347 | Mrs. Carew-- for it must be Mrs. Carew I am addressing-- did your little nephew cry when you first brought him to the house? |
38347 | News? |
38347 | No cops in the neighborhood? 38347 No farther than that?" |
38347 | No; why should I? 38347 Nor given into Mrs. Carew''s hand such an account?" |
38347 | Not if he brings news? |
38347 | Nothing? |
38347 | Now? |
38347 | Of course, who else? |
38347 | Oh, what is going to happen now? |
38347 | Oh,she cried, in a tone that assured me she had not seen the dog lying in his blood at my back;"dead already? |
38347 | One I know? |
38347 | Or have you interested yourself in this matter purely from business reasons? |
38347 | Shall I give him my word, Harry? |
38347 | Shall I not go on? |
38347 | Shall_ I_ not look up Mr. Atwater for you? |
38347 | She has not sailed? |
38347 | She studied-- to please_ me_? 38347 So you intend to publish my story, if I do not?" |
38347 | Steps,she cried,"going up into that part of the building where-- where--""Will you attempt them with me? |
38347 | That you would help me, if any help were possible, to keep my secret and-- my husband''s love? |
38347 | Then I may go on? |
38347 | Then there are doubts,she faltered;"doubts of its being Gwendolen?" |
38347 | Then you do not know it? |
38347 | Then_ you_ think she strayed down to the water? |
38347 | This paper? |
38347 | Was I to give this one? |
38347 | Was he as wealthy then as now? |
38347 | Was her love for Gwendolen sincere? |
38347 | Was it a man''s or woman''s steps? |
38347 | Was there a footprint left, then? 38347 Was there anything peculiar about these confections either in taste or appearance?" |
38347 | Was-- was Mrs. Ocumpaugh very much disturbed by what she saw? |
38347 | What are you going to do next? |
38347 | What are you going to do? |
38347 | What are you listening for? |
38347 | What can you find there? |
38347 | What did you know of Mrs. Carew before she came to----? |
38347 | What do you mean? |
38347 | What do you mean? |
38347 | What do you mean? |
38347 | What do you mean? |
38347 | What does she mean? |
38347 | What for? 38347 What goes on behind those shuttered windows?" |
38347 | What have you two been doing down there? |
38347 | What if she went in some one''s arms? |
38347 | What is Mrs. Carew doing this morning? |
38347 | What is it? 38347 What is it? |
38347 | What is it? |
38347 | What is that I hear, then? |
38347 | What is that on the other side? |
38347 | What is that spot, and that spot, and that? 38347 What makes you say that? |
38347 | What makes you think it blood? |
38347 | What need of that? |
38347 | What relationship? |
38347 | What sort of candy-- pardon me if I seem impertinent-- had you in your house on the Wednesday the child disappeared? 38347 What then?" |
38347 | What will you do with it? |
38347 | What words are those? |
38347 | What would I think? 38347 Where did you get it? |
38347 | Where then did she go? 38347 Where was your old home?" |
38347 | Which Mr. Ocumpaugh? 38347 Who blundered, and what is the meaning of the conspiracy you hint at? |
38347 | Who can detain me,she cried,"if I wish to go?" |
38347 | Who has been here? |
38347 | Who occupies that house? |
38347 | Whom? 38347 Why not?" |
38347 | Why was it ever closed up? 38347 Why, she would be a fool to care for him, unless--""Unless what?" |
38347 | Will what we saw and what we found in the bungalow last night? |
38347 | Will you believe that what I ask is for the best and take this envelope to her? 38347 Will you call in to see me to- morrow?" |
38347 | With me? 38347 With thoughts of her little nephew?" |
38347 | Would n''t you think my attention would have been caught by the sound of any one moving about here? |
38347 | Would you like to see what that is? 38347 Would you like to? |
38347 | Yes; Doctor Pool, whom I wish to God I had never seen-- has he told you any such lies as that? 38347 Yesterday?" |
38347 | You can bear it? |
38347 | You did? 38347 You do not know?" |
38347 | You have not seen the written account of it? |
38347 | You know the relationship? |
38347 | You know this? |
38347 | You know who wrote those slips? |
38347 | You thought the child had been stolen for the reward she would bring? |
38347 | You''re not out of the woods, is that it? 38347 You?" |
38347 | You? |
38347 | _ She_ beautiful? |
38347 | ''Are you a doctor?'' |
38347 | ''Where were you going to take her?'' |
38347 | 274 XXI Providence 289 XXII On the Second Terrace 315 XXIII A Coral Bead 321 XXIV"Shall I Give Him My Word, Harry?" |
38347 | A conspiracy, and for what? |
38347 | A detective of my experience outwitted by this stricken, half- dead woman whom I had trembled to see try to stand upon her feet? |
38347 | A dream? |
38347 | A square of impenetrable gloom confronted me at the first glance-- what might not be the result of a second? |
38347 | Ah; is that the little boy?" |
38347 | Aline, will you promise?" |
38347 | All looked well in that direction; but what was the aspect of affairs in Homewood? |
38347 | An impossibility?" |
38347 | And what did the old gentleman have to say of your tumbling in on him from space without a''By your leave''or even an''Excuse me''? |
38347 | And what had I done? |
38347 | And what would the story tell me to warrant the loss of what might have proved a most valuable hour? |
38347 | And when do you think that was?" |
38347 | And who can penetrate a woman''s mind? |
38347 | And why should n''t I go see? |
38347 | Any which she could have got at or the nurse given her?" |
38347 | Are not_ some one_ and_ the wretch_ one and the same person, and can you not give him now a name?" |
38347 | Are you here at Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s bidding, and has she at last given up all expectation of finding her child in the river?" |
38347 | Are you more than convinced of this now? |
38347 | Are you quite convinced that you have news of sufficient importance to warrant the expectations you have raised in her?" |
38347 | Are you quite sure that there is any possibility of this? |
38347 | Are you ready to promise, Aline?" |
38347 | Are you sure?" |
38347 | Atwater?" |
38347 | But how express myself? |
38347 | But is n''t there some one else who is conscious of possessing certain claims also? |
38347 | But perhaps you are better informed on this subject than I supposed? |
38347 | But there is a gentleman-- one interested in the family-- a man with something to gain--""Mr. Rathbone? |
38347 | But who are you, sir, if I may ask? |
38347 | But who could have been here? |
38347 | But who knows? |
38347 | But would Mrs. Ocumpaugh do this? |
38347 | But would he accord me an interview? |
38347 | Ca n''t you see how anxious I must be about that-- if it should prove to be Gwendolen?" |
38347 | Can not the child run away and be lost? |
38347 | Can not you find him?" |
38347 | Can you declare that she did not have this candy in one of her little hands?" |
38347 | Can you not think of some other motive? |
38347 | Carew?" |
38347 | Carew?" |
38347 | Carew?" |
38347 | Carew?" |
38347 | Could any one have thought that?" |
38347 | Danced at night and--""And-- and-- what by day, what?" |
38347 | Did I allow my triumph to betray itself? |
38347 | Did I feel easier? |
38347 | Did I run? |
38347 | Did he bid you say that?" |
38347 | Did her lips frame it, or did I see it in her eyes? |
38347 | Did it pass out before the wagon?" |
38347 | Did n''t you hear a carriage drive through your grounds at about the hour the alarm was first started? |
38347 | Did n''t you see all there was to see?" |
38347 | Did she fear her charming neighbor? |
38347 | Did she know how much? |
38347 | Did she wish to save her friend, or save herself, or even to save me from the result of a blind use of such tools as were the only ones afforded me? |
38347 | Did you ever see the child about whom there has been all this coil?" |
38347 | Did you know it?" |
38347 | Did you not notice?" |
38347 | Did you play the detective here?" |
38347 | Did you see any other vehicle leave by the same gate at or before that time?" |
38347 | Did you?" |
38347 | Do n''t you see that I am consumed with jealousy? |
38347 | Do n''t you see that some one has preceded us here; and that not so very long ago? |
38347 | Do n''t you see that your conclusions are all wild-- incredible? |
38347 | Do you know if the police had it up?" |
38347 | Do you know so little of the impulses of a mind, bewildered as mine has been by intolerable suffering?" |
38347 | Do you know the secret of that strangely divided room?" |
38347 | Do you know?" |
38347 | Do you mean proof? |
38347 | Do you mean to publish my shame to the world? |
38347 | Do you not believe me? |
38347 | Do you not know of some one who wanted the child from--_love_, let us say?" |
38347 | Do you not see that it is blood? |
38347 | Do you think me as blind to- day to truth and honor as I was six years ago? |
38347 | Do you want more months for dancing?" |
38347 | Do you want to see things nearer? |
38347 | Do you wish her confirmation of my story? |
38347 | Do you wish to see her? |
38347 | Do you wonder that a visit in the dead of night to a spot associated with such superstitious horrors should frighten me?" |
38347 | Do you?" |
38347 | Do_ you_ know what they meant by that? |
38347 | Does it mean that? |
38347 | Does it mean that?" |
38347 | First, what has become of the child?" |
38347 | God grant-- but what can any old letter have to do with the agonizing question before us? |
38347 | Had Gwendolen Ocumpaugh by any chance worn such? |
38347 | Had I bargained with Mrs. Ocumpaugh? |
38347 | Had all my efforts for the last half- hour been for the purpose of entrapping her into some such avowal? |
38347 | Had little Miss Graham''s theory no better foundation than this? |
38347 | Had she read my inmost soul? |
38347 | Had she the strength to stand the ordeal? |
38347 | Had some note in his own conscience been struck by an act which, in his cooler moments, he may have looked upon as a species of sacrilege? |
38347 | Had the storm passed over? |
38347 | Harry Carew?" |
38347 | Harry, will you stay with me?" |
38347 | Has there been no alarm?" |
38347 | Have n''t I done everything? |
38347 | Have you by any chance the means of entrance to the bungalow? |
38347 | Have you no idea of repentance and regeneration from sin? |
38347 | He is your nephew, I believe?" |
38347 | He was right; what was she doing? |
38347 | How came you there? |
38347 | How can I help? |
38347 | How dare you? |
38347 | How had it happened? |
38347 | How shall we see? |
38347 | How was the boy in his charge? |
38347 | How? |
38347 | I believe so-- oh, Mr. Trevitt,"she cried, as I rose to my feet with the corner of the rug in my hand,"what are you going to do?" |
38347 | I did n''t ask who she was; why should I? |
38347 | I did not see her face, it was heavily veiled, but I heard her voice; it was a lady''s voice and--""What?" |
38347 | I let a moment of silence pass, then nonchalantly remarked:"Why is she going to Europe?" |
38347 | I may not see you again; may I wish you a safe journey?" |
38347 | I waited till she was calm again, then I inquired very softly:"What wretch?" |
38347 | If taken there, why was n''t she found there? |
38347 | If the child can be found-- you wish that? |
38347 | If you will lift him up I will wrap him in this shawl as if he were ill. Once in New York-- are you not going to permit me?" |
38347 | Is it-- is it good news?" |
38347 | Is she an actress too-- Gwendolen?" |
38347 | Is she known? |
38347 | It was I who carried Gwendolen into that secret hole._"XXI PROVIDENCE Had I suspected this? |
38347 | Lift your eyes to the ceiling-- over there-- at the extreme end toward the south-- do you see--_what_ do you see?" |
38347 | Master, what is it? |
38347 | May I tell you--"as I laid my hand upon the outer door- knob--"just how to approach her?" |
38347 | Mr. Trevitt, yesterday saw the end of those ten days, and where is she now? |
38347 | No spies around?" |
38347 | Not to extort money, or why these blundering efforts to make the child appear dead?" |
38347 | Now all might be lost unless I could arrive in time to-- do what? |
38347 | Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Oh, we are in a terrible strait, we two, unless you will stand by us like a friend-- and you will do that, wo n''t you, Mr. Trevitt? |
38347 | One of them detective fellows? |
38347 | Or do n''t you know?" |
38347 | Or has the great lady bargained with you?--Um? |
38347 | Or rather, to what place was she taken? |
38347 | Or will you stay here, in the darkness?" |
38347 | Order the work stopped? |
38347 | Perhaps you know this?" |
38347 | Rathbone?" |
38347 | Shall I replace it and press back the nails?" |
38347 | Shall we cross the floor?" |
38347 | She did not sleep-- Oh, sir, what is it?" |
38347 | Should I tell her that Doctor Pool was dead? |
38347 | So all is lost?" |
38347 | Some marauder, then, or a detective, like myself? |
38347 | That has failed, has it not? |
38347 | That she was carried out through my grounds? |
38347 | That you feel demonstrated-- or do n''t you?" |
38347 | The cars are coming; do n''t you hear the whistle? |
38347 | The child? |
38347 | The next heir, eh?" |
38347 | The question which kept down my elation was this: Would I be the first man to get there? |
38347 | The reply was impetuous:"How else could she have been spirited away so quickly? |
38347 | Then why do n''t we find her, or-- or her little innocent body?" |
38347 | There was no quarrel, no fight; only hilarity--""Where did the dog come from?" |
38347 | They call it--""Well, well, what do they call it?" |
38347 | To reveal to_ me_, who had no claim upon her but that of friendship, a secret which had not been given to the police? |
38347 | Trevitt?" |
38347 | Trevitt?" |
38347 | Um?" |
38347 | Want your money? |
38347 | Was Gwendolen very fond of sweets?" |
38347 | Was I following the false light of a will- o''-the- wisp? |
38347 | Was I held by something in her manner? |
38347 | Was I playing with her curiosity or anxieties or whatever it was that affected her? |
38347 | Was I wrong in letting her slip from my surveillance? |
38347 | Was anything amiss? |
38347 | Was fate to be appeased by this effort at forgetfulness? |
38347 | Was his accent in uttering this simple phrase peculiar? |
38347 | Was it a totally unbroken partition? |
38347 | Was it a woman''s plea, conscious of the tenderness she appealed to, or only a child''s instinctive grasping after life, just life? |
38347 | Was it affection for her friend which made Mrs. Carew''s always rich voice so very mellow? |
38347 | Was it one she was ready to impart? |
38347 | Was it she who called? |
38347 | Was it so? |
38347 | Was it suicide on the doctor''s part or just pure accident? |
38347 | Was she a true woman or what my fears pictured her-- the scheming, unprincipled abductor of Gwendolen Ocumpaugh? |
38347 | Was she as much moved-- or possibly more moved than myself? |
38347 | Was she in delirium? |
38347 | Was she of common blood, common manners? |
38347 | Was that Miss Graham coming? |
38347 | Was that necklace one bead short? |
38347 | Was the game deeper than I thought? |
38347 | Was this on account of the state of her nerves or mine? |
38347 | We shall meet again, and then--"Did she pause to look behind her down those steps-- to make some gesture of caution to the uneasy child? |
38347 | What are we about to discover? |
38347 | What can it be?" |
38347 | What can your little wife be doing? |
38347 | What did I propose to myself? |
38347 | What did it all mean? |
38347 | What did it mean? |
38347 | What did she mean by that"Happy"? |
38347 | What did she think of it?" |
38347 | What did you say your name is?" |
38347 | What do you know of my friends?" |
38347 | What do you know of that scrap of paper, hidden from the whole world from the moment I first read it till this hour of full confession? |
38347 | What does it mean, Jupp? |
38347 | What excuse did he give you? |
38347 | What had occurred on that night of innocent enjoyment to disturb or alarm him? |
38347 | What have these miserable lumps of sugar to do with Gwendolen?" |
38347 | What is it? |
38347 | What is it?" |
38347 | What kind of place do you make it out to be; and is there anything here you-- do-- not-- want-- to see?" |
38347 | What made him quake-- he who knew of this dog only by hearsay-- and what, in spite of this fear, gave him such resolution? |
38347 | What was I encouraging this young girl to do? |
38347 | What was I to think of her? |
38347 | What was I to think of myself? |
38347 | What was in the man''s mind? |
38347 | What?" |
38347 | Wheeling about, I threw this question back:"If that is a boy and a stranger, where is Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | When? |
38347 | Whence, then, did they come into Mrs. Carew''s possession? |
38347 | Where could it come from? |
38347 | Where did you first come upon the wagon which you followed so many hours in the belief that it held Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?" |
38347 | Where shall we look for his child? |
38347 | Where was the wagon found? |
38347 | Who could say she was cold now? |
38347 | Who could see anything but a feeling heart in this woman, beautiful beyond all precedent in her passion and her woe? |
38347 | Who could wonder? |
38347 | Who has dared to send me this?'' |
38347 | Who is with it? |
38347 | Who would want to be here? |
38347 | Whose? |
38347 | Why did I not make my bow and go? |
38347 | Why did my muscles tighten instead of relax? |
38347 | Why did they not move me? |
38347 | Why do you play with my anguish?" |
38347 | Why should it? |
38347 | Why should n''t I listen for it? |
38347 | Why, sir, why do you ask? |
38347 | Why, what is the matter?" |
38347 | Why?" |
38347 | Why?" |
38347 | Will you let me try?" |
38347 | Will you oblige me by following me there?" |
38347 | Will you trust yourself to me? |
38347 | Wo n''t Mr. Atwater do? |
38347 | Would I confess the truth to him myself? |
38347 | Would I discover in the columns any hint of the preceding day''s events in Yonkers, which, if known, must for ever upset the wagon theory? |
38347 | Would I find his attitude changed? |
38347 | Would I meet her at the pavilion? |
38347 | Would his follow? |
38347 | Would no more flashes come? |
38347 | Would she embrace this opportunity to part with it when it came? |
38347 | Would we have noticed since? |
38347 | Would you leave her to bear the full burden of this deception alone? |
38347 | XX"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?" |
38347 | XXIII A CORAL BEAD"What''s that?" |
38347 | XXIV"SHALL I GIVE HIM MY WORD, HARRY?" |
38347 | Years ago?" |
38347 | Yet if I came to make her better? |
38347 | You are convinced of that now, are you not?" |
38347 | You are going back to the bungalow?" |
38347 | You do n''t believe-- you surely can not believe--""That Mrs. Carew is a charming woman? |
38347 | You do not know?" |
38347 | You know that, do you not, madam?" |
38347 | You know them? |
38347 | You look as if-- as if--""I had come upon a clue to Gwendolen? |
38347 | You loved her?" |
38347 | You will carry that up to her?" |
38347 | You will go with me?" |
38347 | You wo n''t be long, will you?" |
38347 | You would have thought-- But why all this talk about Mrs. Carew? |
38347 | You, a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh? |
38347 | [ Illustration:"GWENDOLEN HERE?" |
38347 | and not once Gwendolen? |
38347 | and were the wheels she heard only those of Mrs. Carew''s departing carriage? |
38347 | are you coming?" |
38347 | at the first word? |
38347 | but do you think I shall stop because of that?" |
38347 | dead at the first glance? |
38347 | he asked;"when you were in the pavilion, I mean?" |
38347 | how can you say that? |
38347 | she interrupted"Where is the child? |
38347 | this babe I had loved as my own flesh and blood!--in the river where she had been forbidden to go?" |
38347 | what is that the man in the boat is holding up? |
38347 | who are these?" |
20071 | ''As yer brought news of Sue, boy? |
20071 | ''Ave he missed me yet? |

20071 | And did she ever make you go a little, tiny bit in front of her? |
20071 | And did she tell you the names of the poor little critters? |
20071 | And had that''ere Harris much money? |
20071 | And is he coming to see you one day? |
20071 | And she wore a big, big cloak, with pockets inside? |
20071 | And then wot became of you? |

20071 | But Giles-- Giles? |
20071 | But are you strong enough to be moved, Giles? |
20071 | But please-- please,said Ronald, who had suddenly lost all his fear,"may Connie come, too?" |
20071 | But tell me, Ronald,continued Connie,"how was it yer got the fever?" |
20071 | But tell me-- do tell me-- is his father really dead? |
20071 | But what could she do with us? |

20071 | But why should yer do that, ma''am? 20071 But why-- why?" |
20071 | But wot did you want? 20071 But,"said Connie, her voice trembling,"is he wery, wery ill?" |
20071 | Ca n''t people be like that now? |
20071 | Ca n''t yer get back on to yer sofa, Giles? |
20071 | Can I help you, ma''am? |
20071 | Can us see her? |
20071 | Can you bear a bit o''pine? |
20071 | Can you recall his name? |
20071 | Certainly; but where is the boy? |
20071 | Cinderella,he said,"am I to act as yer prince or not?" |
20071 | Connie back? |
20071 | Connie dear, could n''t we send her a message to come straight home to me now? 20071 Connie"--the man''s whole tone altered--"what will you give me if I let you go?" |
20071 | Connie, Connie-- where are we? |
20071 | Connie, if we can unpick the lock and get the door open, where shall we go? |
20071 | Connie, wot were that as I read last? |
20071 | Connie,he said after a minute,"be yer really meanin''to spend the night with me?" |
20071 | Connie,he said after a time,"it''s the worst of all dreadful things, is n''t it, to pretend that you are what you are n''t?" |
20071 | Connie? |
20071 | Could n''t you try? |
20071 | Cut up? 20071 Did yer never yere of a man called Tennyson? |

20071 | Do yer mean that Giles is goin''--goin''right aw''y? |
20071 | Do yer promise? |
20071 | Do yer think as he''ll come soon? |
20071 | Do yer, promise? |
20071 | Do you mean dead? 20071 Do you really, really think so?" |
20071 | Do you think that matters? |
20071 | Do you think, by chance, that his name was Harvey? |
20071 | Ef yer please, parson, may I speak to yer''bout Giles and me? |
20071 | Eh? |
20071 | Father John,said Ronald--"who is he?" |
20071 | Father,said Connie again,"may I go and spend the night''long o''Giles? |
20071 | Find her? |
20071 | Giles is worse, Pickles,said Connie,"an''wot''s to be done?" |
20071 | Giles, I need n''t, need I? 20071 Has any one come down from the top floor?" |
20071 | Has my father come back? |
20071 | Has my father missed me? |
20071 | Has n''t Connie come back? |
20071 | Have I? |
20071 | Have yer no name for the pore child? |
20071 | Have you a father, Connie? |
20071 | Have you heard from him? 20071 Have you no plan in your head? |
20071 | Have you? |
20071 | He could n''t manage to run away and escape afterwards? |
20071 | Help? |
20071 | How be yer, Ronald? |
20071 | How can you tell that_ was_ what Big Ben said? |
20071 | How can you tell? |
20071 | How could he hear? |

20071 | How long were you with her, Ronald? |
20071 | How long were you with that woman Warren? |
20071 | I did wot? |
20071 | I do n''t want you to worry yourself, dear; but can you recall anybody ever calling to see your mother-- anybody who might be a relation of yours? |
20071 | I dunno; only Big Ben----"Giles dear, wot_ do_ yer mean? |
20071 | I fond o''poetry? |
20071 | I guessed long ago-- didn''t I, Connie? |
20071 | I make''lowance fur yer tears-- ye''re but a gel, and I allow as the picture''s dark-- but who hever is Giles? 20071 I suppose,"she added,"there''s no doubt in yer moind that I''_ ave_ come from the parients of the boy?" |
20071 | I want to go wid yer; only wot am I to do with Giles? |
20071 | I''m right, ai n''t I? |
20071 | In the woods is he, now? |
20071 | In this room, sir? |
20071 | Is Father John looking for her too? |
20071 | Is he likely to come soon? |
20071 | Is he quite right in the''ead now? |
20071 | Is his name Harvey-- same as mine? |
20071 | Is it Connie Harris? |
20071 | Is it Ronald? |
20071 | Is my father in? |
20071 | Is n''t it cold? |
20071 | Is this real, real country? |
20071 | Is your father in London? |
20071 | Is''e wery bad? |
20071 | It is certainly against the rules, but-- will you stay here for a few minutes and I''ll speak to the ward superintendent? |
20071 | It''s a beautiful verse, is n''t it, Connie? |
20071 | Little Ronald''s a real gent--_''e''s_ the son of a hofficer in''Is Majesty''s harmy, an''the hofficer''s name is Major Harvey, V. C."What? |
20071 | Lor'', now, did he? |

20071 | Ma''am,said Connie,"wot do yer mean by his death not bein''confirmed?" |
20071 | May I go, Giles? 20071 May I speak to yer, ma''am?" |
20071 | May I take Connie along, please, sir? |
20071 | May n''t I speak, sir? |
20071 | Mother,interrupted Sue,"does yer think as Providence''ull get me constant work at the sewing, enough to keep Giles and me?" |
20071 | Mr. Harris,said Sue, all of a sudden,"you were cruel to Connie last night; but w''en she comes back again you''ll be different, wo n''t yer?" |
20071 | Must I''ave a new name too? |
20071 | My father guv you your breakfast? |
20071 | Next clue-- shall I''elp yer a bit? 20071 No doubt, my dear,"said the policeman;"but of course you wo n''t object to be searched?" |
20071 | No news of his sister, I suppose? |
20071 | No one has paid her, dear? |
20071 | No talk o''dark rooms and nasty nightmares and cruel old women? 20071 No, madam?" |
20071 | Not there? 20071 Now must I give her a blow, or must I not?" |
20071 | Now, Cinderella,he began,"you say as ye''re hinnercent o''that''ere theft?" |
20071 | Now, Jamie, what do you mean? |
20071 | Now, ai n''t I good? |
20071 | Now, what hever do yer mean by that? |
20071 | Now,said the widow,"what can I do for you?" |
20071 | Of course, there is little doubt that Major Harvey is dead; but you could call at the War Office and inquire, mother, could n''t you? |
20071 | Oh Giles-- wot? |
20071 | Oh, have you got a mother? |
20071 | Oh, how so, Connie? |
20071 | Oh, how will he get in? 20071 Oh, please, father,"said Connie,"ef you be goin''out, may I go''long and pay Giles a wisit? |
20071 | Oh, why-- why did I let her go? |
20071 | Oh, worn''t he? |

20071 | She shall and must stay here for the present; but it can not go on always, for what would the poor little brother do? 20071 Sit down, wo n''t you?" |

20071 | Then perhaps you will come and pay us a visit, and see Ronald after he has learned the full use of the saddle and bridle-- eh, Ronald? |
20071 | Then what do you call her? |

20071 | Yer mean that yer''ll come along to my room an''put things in order? |
20071 | Yer would n''t niver, niver, let little Ronald go away? |
20071 | Yer''ll be losing yer purty sleep,she said,"and then where''ll yer be?" |
20071 | Yer''ll like that, wo n''t yer? |
20071 | Yer''ll promise to let me go in the morning? |
20071 | You ai n''t of a wery obleeging turn, be yer? 20071 You believes me, marm?" |
20071 | You do n''t never tell no lies, do you, boy? |
20071 | You do n''t think, Sue, do yer,said Connie,"that_ us_ could stop seekin''yer until we found yer?" |
20071 | You have news of her? |
20071 | You saw Sue to- day? |
20071 | You surely do n''t mean little Connie Harris? 20071 You wo n''t say? |
20071 | You would n''t be inclined, now, that we should have hour talk hover a pint of hot coffee? 20071 You would n''t know your way back again?" |
20071 | You would n''t tell a lie, would you, girl? |
20071 | You''d win the V. C., Ronald, would n''t you, now? |
20071 | You''re not afraid of the streets, my poor little child? |
20071 | You''re not frightened, then? |
20071 | You''re quite sure it_ was_ only a dream? |
20071 | You''re sick o''machine- work, ai n''t you? |
20071 | You-- my aunt? |
20071 | Your congregation? |
20071 | Your''eart''s desire, Giles? |
20071 | Yus,said Connie,"I could; but would it be right?" |
20071 | Yus,said Connie,"it do look purty, do n''t it? |
20071 | Yus-- didn''t I zay so? |
20071 | Yus-- why not? 20071 _ Ef_ I choose, sir-- may I choose?" |
20071 | ''Ow did I happen ter be born? |
20071 | ''Ow did he take yer comin''''ome again, wench?" |
20071 | ''Ow''s the other kid?" |
20071 | ''ow can this''ave''appened?" |
20071 | ''ow is Giles?" |
20071 | 12 Carlyle Terrace? |
20071 | A boy with two fathers need n''t feel starved about the heart, need he, now?" |
20071 | Agnes, now, can go and tell yer father, and bring wot clothes yer want to- morrow.--Agnes, yer''ll do that, wo n''t yer?" |
20071 | Ai n''t it natural that Mrs. Warren should want yer to stay now she ha''got yer? |
20071 | Ai n''t it now?" |
20071 | Ai n''t yer hin luck not to be in prison, and ai n''t that a subject for rejoicing? |
20071 | All those things quite forgot?" |
20071 | An''did yer never read that most touching story of the consumptive gel called the''May Queen''? |
20071 | And am I to have naught but grumbles for my pains? |
20071 | And does she find it wery beautiful?" |
20071 | And ef poor, ugly Mammy Warren''ave made herself still uglier for yer sweet sakes,''oo can but love''er for the ennoblin''deed? |
20071 | And may I ax how old you are, my love?" |
20071 | And now, do n''t you feel very anxious about your father and your old friends?" |
20071 | And she come''ere-- and I turned her off? |
20071 | And what amount of money ought I to give you for the woman?" |
20071 | And when''ull she be back?" |
20071 | And where are the stones? |
20071 | And would Father John look for her? |
20071 | And would her own people ever find her? |
20071 | And you would n''t like to give her a kiss fur me?" |
20071 | And''oo''s he?" |
20071 | And''ow''s Giles?" |
20071 | Are you taking me to him?" |
20071 | Are you? |
20071 | As soon as she entered the room he said one word to her--"When?" |
20071 | Be yer fond o''poetry yerself, Agnes?" |
20071 | But I ca n''t remember where the country is-- can you, Connie?" |
20071 | But about Sue? |
20071 | But do you want me to help you?" |
20071 | But now, ca n''t yer guess where she his?" |
20071 | But now, wot do you think of it all?" |
20071 | But where be she? |
20071 | But''ave yer nothing else to say''bout her?" |
20071 | C.?" |
20071 | Ca n''t you take me back to him now-- can''t you?" |
20071 | Can I help you?" |
20071 | Connie was the name of one----""Connie?" |
20071 | Connie, wull yer sing to me?" |
20071 | Could she not get out of that house and go back to Sue and Giles? |
20071 | Cricket?" |
20071 | Dare you?" |
20071 | Did Connie tell you about that?" |
20071 | Did yer never see the country?" |
20071 | Do n''t I work for yer, and toil for yer? |
20071 | Do n''t yer s''pose as yer''ll be advertised?" |
20071 | Do n''t yer think as it''ull break_ his_ heart ef yer is tuk ter prison? |
20071 | Do n''t you believe it?" |
20071 | Do yer mind?" |
20071 | Do you know anything about her?" |
20071 | Do you know why?" |
20071 | Do you promise?" |
20071 | Do you think I''d allow yer to spile yer purty face with the fire beatin''on it? |
20071 | Do you think, Connie, that Mammy Warren could have invented that story about him?" |
20071 | Dressed shabby, no doubt, and wid hard- hearted sisters-- but had n''t she small feet, now? |
20071 | Ere we to betray the hinnercent?" |
20071 | Father did worse things than that-- why should I be afraid?" |
20071 | First, tell me, how is the little lame chap as is fretting fur his sister wot is kept in the country?" |
20071 | Ha''n''t I jest rescued yer from the hands o''that''ere nipper?" |
20071 | Ha''n''t she, stoo- pid?" |
20071 | Had anything happened? |
20071 | Hanythink else?" |
20071 | Harris?" |
20071 | Have you been in a fire?" |
20071 | Have you brought news of Ronald? |
20071 | Have you ever considered what a truly fascinating thing a girl''s hand is?" |
20071 | He''ll be a nice companion for yer, Connie, and yer''ll like that, wo n''t you?" |
20071 | Her father and I are in great trouble about the child----""What child?" |
20071 | How do you do?" |
20071 | How do you s''pose, mother, as the locket did get inter Cinderella''s pocket?" |
20071 | How long? |
20071 | I ca n''t go back, can I, Giles-- can I?" |
20071 | I know all about it: Yer''ll stop that-- d''yer''ear-- d''yer''ear?" |
20071 | I s''pose, as the disguise is ter change me, will it make me beautiful? |
20071 | I think w''en they''re full- grown----""Wot then?" |
20071 | I was not a bit frightened at first, of course, for my father''s boy must n''t be a coward, must he, Connie?" |
20071 | I''d manage so to terrify him aforehand that he''d have ter confess----""And then he''d be put in prison?" |
20071 | I''m going away to a much better place, ai n''t I, Connie?" |
20071 | In his case, that is the best sort of illness, is it not? |
20071 | Is he wery cut up?" |
20071 | Is it in love you be-- an''you not fourteen years of age? |
20071 | Is that other little party alive or dead? |
20071 | Is that what she''s staying fur?" |
20071 | Is the furnace in proper order?" |
20071 | Is there a neighbor who would sit with him?" |
20071 | Is your story quite true, little girl?" |
20071 | It has been a long time-- wery, wery long-- but have I been patient''bout Sue all this long time, Connie?" |
20071 | It said in cheerful tones:"Why have n''t you fire here, and a candle? |
20071 | It''s a little bit hard to be very patient, is n''t it, Connie?" |
20071 | It''s a''most like''eaven to think of the country-- ain''t it, Connie?" |
20071 | Machine- work-- attic work?--Shop?" |
20071 | May I come?" |
20071 | Mr. Harris, wot does yer think? |
20071 | Never neglect a friend-- eh? |
20071 | Not to''ome?" |
20071 | Now speak the truth, full and solemn; be yer hinnercent?" |
20071 | Now then, look spruce, wo n''t yer?" |
20071 | Now then-- yer ai n''t frightened, be yer?" |
20071 | Now, Cinderella, wot kind o''man wor that''ere Peter Harris wot went wid yer to the shop?" |
20071 | Now, Pickles, my boy, wot have you got in the back o''your''ead? |
20071 | Now, do you want to have a shelter for yourself and your little brother to- night?'' |
20071 | Now, w''en a stranger seeks yer hout, is n''t it safe to s''pose as he brings news?" |
20071 | Now, will you speak? |
20071 | Now, wot''s yer favorite character? |
20071 | Now-- do yer promise?" |
20071 | Oh, could the awful moment ever come when Giles would look at him with reproachful eyes-- when Giles would turn away from him? |
20071 | Oh, sir, will you, jest because mother did trusten so werry much?" |
20071 | On their way Connie turned innocently to her companion and said:"Why ever did yer say as we lived in Portland Mansions?" |
20071 | One word has been changed from the original to correctly identify the speaker, Agnes, replying to Connie''s question: p. 27 original:"Wot sort?" |
20071 | Or do yer want somethin''better? |
20071 | Please, Father John,_ you_ wo n''t ask me?" |
20071 | Please, please, Pickles, where is she?" |
20071 | Shall I take yer''ome first, or wull yer come with me?" |
20071 | Shall I tell you other things that father did?" |
20071 | Shall I?" |
20071 | Shall us both come in?" |
20071 | She put her hand on my shoulder and said,''Wotever are you doing here?'' |
20071 | She went to the door and, before opening it, called out,"Who''s there?" |
20071 | She worn''t a wandering sort o''gel, as neglected her home duties, wor she?" |
20071 | She would n''t''ave tuk all her things ef she meant to come; would she, Ronald?" |
20071 | She''s not a real kind person, is she, Connie?" |
20071 | So late?" |
20071 | Suddenly, however, he winked, and said in a shrill, cheerful tone:"Well, then, plucky''un,''ow does yer find yerself now?" |
20071 | Sue, did you never consider that maybe ef we''re good and patient Lord Christ''ull take us to''eaven any day?" |
20071 | That was''ow I pulled''i m round.--Wasn''t it, Ronald, my dear?" |
20071 | Them be thieves, bean''t they?" |
20071 | There now,''oo''s that a- knockin''at the door?" |
20071 | There, now-- ain''t that fine?" |
20071 | This child is n''t for us; let her alone in future.--Are you ready, Connie?" |
20071 | WHAT WAS HARRIS TO HER? |
20071 | WHAT WAS HARRIS TO HER? |
20071 | Warren''s?" |
20071 | Warren?" |
20071 | Warren?" |
20071 | Warren?" |
20071 | Warren?" |
20071 | Was any one within? |
20071 | Was he drunk? |
20071 | Was it more than a coincidence? |
20071 | Was it the roar of human voices or the roar of something else-- a devouring and awful element? |
20071 | Was she late? |
20071 | Was this another and a rougher way of taking her to the lock- up? |
20071 | Was this queer boy friend or foe? |
20071 | Was this the man she was to be so dreadfully afraid of? |
20071 | Welcome my lass home? |
20071 | Well now, madam, will you see to this? |
20071 | What did the girl mean? |
20071 | What new and dreadful departure was this? |
20071 | What was it? |
20071 | What was the matter? |
20071 | What was the matter? |
20071 | What was this cowardly Harris to her that she should risk so much and suffer so sorely for his sake? |
20071 | What was to be done? |
20071 | What was wrong with pretty Connie, and why did she not go with her? |
20071 | What would she not give to hear his magnificent voice as he preached to the people once again? |
20071 | What would yer mother s''y ef she knew?" |
20071 | What_ did_ Cinderella mean? |
20071 | What_ has_ happened, Connie-- what_ has_ happened?" |
20071 | Where are yer to go to? |
20071 | Where be she? |
20071 | Where could she be? |
20071 | Where in all the world could she be? |
20071 | Where is she? |
20071 | Where was she? |
20071 | Where''ud she be likely ter be? |
20071 | Where? |
20071 | Wherever is my little gel?" |
20071 | Who are you running away from?" |
20071 | Who could tell if his father himself might not have returned, and might not be there, and might not hear him if he sang loud enough and sweet enough? |
20071 | Who, I''d like to know,''ud employ a prison lass-- and what else''ud you be?" |
20071 | Why be you so chuff to poor Sue, and whatever''ave you got to say?" |
20071 | Why did that boy speak like that? |
20071 | Why did yer say so?" |
20071 | Why did you run away?" |
20071 | Why should n''t it be for you? |
20071 | Why was she absent? |
20071 | Why, Connie, ca n''t you guess that we''ve been praying for you?" |
20071 | Why, oh why did not his father come to fetch him? |
20071 | Why, to mother, of course-- where else?" |
20071 | Why? |
20071 | Will it cost you so much money to keep yourself and Giles in that little attic?" |
20071 | Will yer take a message back to Sue?" |
20071 | Will you come in, and I''ll fetch him?" |
20071 | Will you come?" |
20071 | Will you wash first and have a bit of breakfast, or shall I tell you now?" |
20071 | Will you write the note, Connie?" |
20071 | Worn''t Cinderella wot might''ave bin called beautiful? |
20071 | Wot be Giles to me?" |
20071 | Wot could be wrong? |
20071 | Wot did yer do with her, Father John?" |
20071 | Wot do yer take me fur? |
20071 | Wot do yer think I come''ere for so often but jest to comfort the poor thing an''bring her news o''Giles? |
20071 | Wot do yer think Mammy Warren wanted yer for?" |
20071 | Wot''s to be done? |
20071 | Wot''s up? |
20071 | Wotever''s the hour? |
20071 | Wotever''s the matter with yer, Connie?" |
20071 | Wottever is to be done, father?" |
20071 | Wottever is to be done? |
20071 | Wottever''ud take her to the country at this time o''year?" |
20071 | Would Sue be satisfied that Connie was not quite lost? |
20071 | Would any one in all the world think of the little machinist if she sallied forth in purple silk and Paisley shawl? |
20071 | Would he again turn her out into the street? |
20071 | Would he give her up for ever? |
20071 | Would n''t I jest jump at gettin''into your shoes if I could? |
20071 | Would not her own father search heaven and earth to find his only child? |
20071 | Would that long day ever come to an end? |
20071 | Would you like to see her again?" |
20071 | Wull yer do that, Agnes-- wull yer, now?" |
20071 | Yer do n''t think as yer father''ll be''ome to- night, Connie?" |
20071 | Yer want to know who''s_ he_? |
20071 | Yes, she knows all, Sue does; but, Mr. Harris----""Yes; wot have I to say to this tale? |
20071 | You and me wo n''t disgrace our fathers, will we, Giles?" |
20071 | You could n''t help me, now, ter find a guilty party?" |
20071 | You go out arter you ha''been at my house? |
20071 | You ha''never seen little Giles Mason?" |
20071 | You have n''t an idea what it is like, have you?" |
20071 | You know the way there; you wo n''t let yourself be kidnapped any more, will you, Connie?" |
20071 | You know wot to do?" |
20071 | You refuse my goodness? |
20071 | You surely have not been frightening her with the base idea that we would give her up, my boy?" |
20071 | You wants ter live in a cottage in the country, do n''t yer?" |
20071 | You would n''t mind my treating yer, jest fer once, would yer?" |
20071 | You yere me, Connie? |
20071 | You''asn''t, so to speak, lost something lately-- thimble, or a pair of scissors, or something o''that sort?" |
20071 | You''ll take me to see him, and then you''ll bring me back, wo n''t you, Connie?" |
20071 | You_ ai n''t_ goin''to work to- day-- be you, Connie?" |
20071 | _ You would_ like that, would n''t you?" |
20071 | ai n''t the world strange and difficult to live in? |
20071 | and ai n''t it lucky for the kid? |
20071 | and wot''s yer name, boy?" |
20071 | but, mother, may n''t I tell her my own self? |
20071 | continued Mrs. Nelson,"w''y hever should Sue be so late-- and this night, of all nights?" |
20071 | could n''t yer take her a little bit of a present?" |
20071 | have yer heard of her?" |
20071 | how hever could he?" |
20071 | how is he? |
20071 | is she really lost? |
20071 | replacement:"Wot sort?" |
20071 | said Connie--"burglars? |
20071 | what do yer think? |
20071 | why did those words sound through the room unless there_ is_ trouble about Sue?" |
20071 | with that drinkin''father o''yourn, wot do you want all alone by yer lonesome? |
20071 | wo n''t my little Giles be glad?" |
20071 | wot do you want wid him?" |
20071 | wot is she staying fur? |
20071 | you back?" |
20071 | you have a little brother, Cinderella?" |
35784 | A bottle of your best brandy-- the French cognac? |
35784 | Always? |
35784 | Am I myself? 35784 Among the invited, Le Capitaine Ryecroft, I presume?" |
35784 | Amongst them did ye include forgin''? |
35784 | An otter, then? |
35784 | And I hope worthy of Olympe Renault? |
35784 | And all ready for starting? |
35784 | And comes down the river by boat, does n''t he? |
35784 | And has there been no search yet? |
35784 | And how am I to bring it home to them? 35784 And my saying that the man who had just got out of it, and gone inside, resembled a priest I''d seen but a day or two before?" |
35784 | And suppose we do that to- day? |
35784 | And supposing her to be alive,he asks,"where do you think she is now? |
35784 | And surer with a heavier one, as yourself, for instance? |
35784 | And the waterman too? |
35784 | And what after? |
35784 | And what did you hear? |
35784 | And where am I to bring it? |
35784 | And where has she slept? |
35784 | And who do you suspect besides? |
35784 | And why did n''t you, Gibbons? 35784 And without committing"--he fears to speak the ugly English word, but expresses the idea in French--"_cette dernier coup_?" |
35784 | And ye found them in the cubbert too? |
35784 | And you do think he has gone for good? |
35784 | And you really think she has n''t slept in her room? |
35784 | And you''d like to be a rich one? |
35784 | And you''re quite sure she has not slept in her room? |
35784 | And, supposing him identified, what follows? |
35784 | Are they there still? |
35784 | Are you quite sure, sir? 35784 Are you sure of it? |
35784 | As who? |
35784 | At what? |
35784 | Attending to culinary matters, I presume? 35784 Be there anythin''amiss?" |
35784 | Be what? |
35784 | Business-- wi''me? |
35784 | But ai n''t he stayin''in the neighbourhood longer than he first spoke of doin''? |
35784 | But could you as you are now, with clothes on, boots, and everything? |
35784 | But have you ever known of a boat being moored in there? |
35784 | But how can that concern any one save myself? |
35784 | But how gone? 35784 But how is it to be avoided?" |
35784 | But is there still? |
35784 | But not when he leaves at a late hour-- as, for instance, when he dines at the Court; which I know he has done several times? |
35784 | But then she was drowned also? 35784 But there be new people there now, ye sayed?" |
35784 | But what do you advise my doing,_ Père_? 35784 But what do you make of all that?" |
35784 | But what made ye go there, Jack? |
35784 | But what sort of man is he? 35784 But what''s to be the upshot? |
35784 | But why are you looking so often below? 35784 But why ca n''t it be done?" |
35784 | But why do you think he means fight? 35784 But why should she assist in such a dangerous deception-- at risk of her daughter''s life?" |
35784 | But why should we? |
35784 | But why, Jack? 35784 But why, madame?" |
35784 | But why? |
35784 | But yaw do n''t think he''s an adventuwer? |
35784 | But you are not recommending it now-- in this little convent matter? |
35784 | But you saw her in her coffin? 35784 But, shawly, that is n''t how the gentleman yondaw made acquaintance with the fair Gwendoline?" |
35784 | But,continues the Major, greatly moved,"you''ll forgive me, old fellow, for being so inquisitive? |
35784 | Can it be he? |
35784 | Can you wonder at that? |
35784 | Certainly? |
35784 | Do you mean to say you''re not aware of what''s happened? |
35784 | Do you suppose, Miss Lees, I have n''t penetrated your secret long ago? 35784 Do you think they''ll be out long?" |
35784 | Does what mean? |
35784 | Dressing, may be? 35784 Drowned? |
35784 | Fear of what? |
35784 | Frightened o''what? 35784 From the cold he caught that night, I suppose?" |
35784 | Had n''t we better keep on, an''make sure? |
35784 | Hansom, sir? |
35784 | Has any letter reached Llangorren Court? |
35784 | Have you a through ticket? |
35784 | Have you any idea whose? |
35784 | He visits often at the Court of late? |
35784 | He''s a gentleman, is he? |
35784 | He''s dying, then? |
35784 | He''s gone then? |
35784 | He''s out too, then? |
35784 | Head and shoulders? 35784 Her name?" |
35784 | How can I help thinkin''it? 35784 How can he, Jack?" |
35784 | How can it give you a belief in the girl being still alive? 35784 How far did the man say? |
35784 | How is it, Jack, that you, living but a short league above, do n''t know all about these people? |
35784 | How long is it since she went off? |
35784 | How long since they went off-- may I know, Miss Linton? |
35784 | How should I know, my son? 35784 How soon do you think? |
35784 | How then? |
35784 | How was he introduced? |
35784 | How would you like to live in that over yonder? |
35784 | How would you like, somebody else being with you in it--_if made worth your while_? |
35784 | How''d I like it, your Reverence? 35784 How''m I to help it, Miss Gwen? |
35784 | How,_ Pére_? |
35784 | How-- where? |
35784 | I mean for Miss Wynn, since the night of that ball? |
35784 | I see-- what of it? |
35784 | I wonder where the place is? 35784 In a worldly sense you mean? |
35784 | In that case, why did n''t you bring him in? |
35784 | In what direction did you hear them? |
35784 | In what respect? 35784 In what way could I?" |
35784 | In what way? 35784 In what way? |
35784 | In what way? |
35784 | Is it likely they will, Miss Linton? |
35784 | Is it strange, Ellen? |
35784 | Is it yourself? 35784 Is n''t it a beautiful creature?" |
35784 | Is that any reason we should n''t now? |
35784 | Is that so? |
35784 | Is there any landing- place there for a boat? |
35784 | Is what true? |
35784 | It is a love secret, then? 35784 It is your place to look after the letters, I believe?" |
35784 | It may as well be written now-- may it not? |
35784 | It''s very kind of you, Mahon; but that must depend on----"On what? |
35784 | Let him-- as many as he likes; you do n''t suppose I''ll believe them? |
35784 | Let me have a squint at it? |
35784 | Llangorren Court? |
35784 | May I have a hint o''what it is? |
35784 | May I know who that one is, Father Rogier? |
35784 | Meanin''o''what, sir? |
35784 | Mr. George Shenstone? |
35784 | Murdock is married, then? |
35784 | My wife? |
35784 | Nay, I am sure,continues Miss Linton, with provoking coolness,"they would have been glad to go riding with you; delighted--""But why ca n''t they?" |
35784 | Not here? |
35784 | Oh, mother, what did you dream about them? |
35784 | Old acquaintance; friend, I presume? 35784 Only whether-- whether she-- Miss Gwen, I mean-- said anything about riding to- day?" |
35784 | Ormeston Hall? 35784 Perhaps you''d prefer it being boots? |
35784 | Quite turn it upside down-- as your old truckle, eh? |
35784 | Richard--_le braconnier_--you''re thinking of? |
35784 | Rogue''s Ferry? 35784 Shall I read it to you?" |
35784 | Shall I turn the boat back? |
35784 | So you think he have a notion o''her, Jack? |
35784 | Somethin''to do wi''the coracle, have it? |
35784 | Still, it_ is_ strange, her not calling me, nor requiring my attendance? |
35784 | Sure, then, the Captain han''t been to visit them? |
35784 | Surely he will not be so stupid-- so insane? 35784 That all he said?" |
35784 | That you, Mary? |
35784 | That''s to be on Thursday, ye sayed? |
35784 | The canwyll corph? |
35784 | The heequall? |
35784 | The moon? |
35784 | Then there''s no trouble between you? |
35784 | Then what''s been a scarin''ye, mother? |
35784 | There ha''something happened? |
35784 | They did so? |
35784 | They mean mischief,mutters Wingate;"what''d we best do, Captain? |
35784 | To your great annoyance, no doubt, if it did not make you dreadfully jealous? |
35784 | Too late for what? 35784 True, how? |
35784 | True; and, availing myself of that, I might have been gone long since, as you supposed, but for----"For what? |
35784 | True; but does that bear upon our affair? |
35784 | True; but, then, there may come a fare the morrow, an''what if there do? 35784 Two hours ago they got off, you say?" |
35784 | WHERE''S GWEN? |
35784 | WHERE''S GWEN? |
35784 | Well, and what after? |
35784 | Well, did it strike you as a cry that would come from one falling over the cliff-- by accident, or otherwise? |
35784 | Well, what of it? |
35784 | Well; an''what if''t be? |
35784 | Well; what of him? |
35784 | Well? |
35784 | What are they? 35784 What are they? |
35784 | What article? |
35784 | What be there so odd in that? |
35784 | What can Jack be coming after? 35784 What can all that mean? |
35784 | What can it mean? |
35784 | What could be more ridiculous? |
35784 | What do you mean, Wingate? 35784 What do you think it was?" |
35784 | What fellow? |
35784 | What had he to say about me? |
35784 | What have you done with those addressed to Miss Wynn? |
35784 | What have you heard, mother? |
35784 | What have you? |
35784 | What hour? |
35784 | What is it, Wingate? |
35784 | What is it? |
35784 | What is it? |
35784 | What is it? |
35784 | What is it? |
35784 | What is it? |
35784 | What is it? |
35784 | What is there''specially repulsive about him? |
35784 | What makes you suppose she is there? |
35784 | What makes you think I''m lookin''that way? |
35784 | What may it be, your Reverence? |
35784 | What may that be, Father Rogier? |
35784 | What mean you, Gregoire? |
35784 | What more? |
35784 | What more? |
35784 | What news? |
35784 | What other respects? |
35784 | What other thing? |
35784 | What reasons? |
35784 | What say you, gentlemen? |
35784 | What sort of a man? |
35784 | What sort of anodyne? |
35784 | What then? |
35784 | What thing, pway? |
35784 | What thing? |
35784 | What train? |
35784 | What was it? 35784 What''s strangest?" |
35784 | What''s that for? |
35784 | What''s the meaning of all this, Joe? |
35784 | What, Gregoire? |
35784 | What, may I ask? |
35784 | What, then? |
35784 | What? |
35784 | What? |
35784 | What? |
35784 | What? |
35784 | What? |
35784 | What? |
35784 | Whatever be the matter wi''ye, Jack? |
35784 | Whatever ha''kep''ye, Jack? 35784 When is this horror to have an end? |
35784 | When might you want it, your Reverence? |
35784 | Where are they? |
35784 | Where are you going, Gwen? |
35784 | Where be the poor man abidin''now? |
35784 | Where can Gregoire have gone? |
35784 | Where did you find them? |
35784 | Where do they weesh the boat to be took? 35784 Where ha''ye heerd all this, Jack?" |
35784 | Where may that be? |
35784 | Where? 35784 Where?" |
35784 | Where? |
35784 | Where? |
35784 | Where? |
35784 | Which of us do you propose staying here? 35784 Which?" |
35784 | Who can be asking for me? |
35784 | Who could help liking it? |
35784 | Who is that young lady? |
35784 | Who is this other? |
35784 | Who the deuce is he? |
35784 | Who then? |
35784 | Who''s gone away? 35784 Who''s his endawser? |
35784 | Who? 35784 Who?" |
35784 | Who? |
35784 | Who? |
35784 | Whose is it, Jack? |
35784 | Why all this emotion about such a_ misérable_? 35784 Why d''yaw say that, Jawge?" |
35784 | Why do you say so, Captain Ryecroft? |
35784 | Why do you think that? 35784 Why must you? |
35784 | Why odd? |
35784 | Why should I? 35784 Why should it?" |
35784 | Why so? |
35784 | Why too well? |
35784 | Why wo n''t it do in the mornin''? |
35784 | Why, George; where else could they go rowing? 35784 Why, Ryecroft, you''re surely joking?" |
35784 | Wi''who? |
35784 | Will you take it neat, or mixed wi''a drop o''water? |
35784 | Wish to do what? |
35784 | With safety? |
35784 | Would it greatly surprise you if to- night your husband did n''t come home to you? |
35784 | Wynn, eh? 35784 Ye ha''been into the chapel buryin''groun'', then?" |
35784 | Ye had a big time last night at Llangorren? |
35784 | Ye say ye know him better than ye did? 35784 Ye suspect somebody, then?" |
35784 | Ye''re to see him the morrow, then? |
35784 | Yes; well? |
35784 | You advise my going over to Llangorren? |
35784 | You can write, Jack, ca n''t you? |
35784 | You do n''t think it was Dick and his coracle, then? |
35784 | You have n''t yet told me his name? |
35784 | You mean the tongue of_ le braconnier_? |
35784 | You mean----? |
35784 | You said nothing of this at the inquest? |
35784 | You say you''ve brought them along? |
35784 | You see something? |
35784 | You think only_ days_? |
35784 | You think there were others? |
35784 | You''re not going to Paris now-- not this night? |
35784 | You''re quite sure of that,_ ma fille_? |
35784 | You''re quite sure there was a boat, Wingate? |
35784 | You''re sure you''ll be able? |
35784 | You''ve been to the Ferry, then? |
35784 | You''ve done something to keep him quiet? |
35784 | Your waterman, sir, Wingate, says he''d like to see you, if convenient? |
35784 | _ Chat maudit!_ But what has that to do with your daughter''s going to the Ferry? |
35784 | _ Comment?_ Explain! |
35784 | _ Le bagage bien arrangé?_"_ Parfaitement_; or, as we say in English, neat as a trivet. 35784 _ Moi aussi!_ Who,_ Père_? |
35784 | _ Oui, m''ssieu; oui._"When is it to be? |
35784 | _ Oui._"When? |
35784 | _ Quelque chose à tort?_"More than that. 35784 _ Vraiment!_ I ask you again-- have you thought of anything, Gregoire?" |
35784 | A gentle tapping at the door tells him the triangle is touched; and, responding to the signal, he calls out,--"That you, Jack Wingate? |
35784 | A nate thing, and a close shave, was n''t it? |
35784 | Above all, who are the men in it? |
35784 | Above all, why her distraught look, with the sigh accompanying it, as the baronet''s son went galloping out of the gate? |
35784 | After a sip, he resumes speech with the remark,--"If I mistake not, you are a poor man, Monsieur Dempsey?" |
35784 | After a time it occurs to him he has been spoken to, and asks,--"What did you observe, Wingate?" |
35784 | After a time, he again observes,--"You''ve said you do n''t know the ladies we''ve helped out of their little trouble?" |
35784 | After all, what do it matter-- only a bit o''weed?" |
35784 | All I said was, that somebody thinks so; and that is n''t I. Shall I tell you who it is?" |
35784 | All that can be said is, she disappeared on the night of the ball, without telling any one; no trace left behind-- except----""Except what?" |
35784 | Am I not right? |
35784 | Am I, indeed, to pass the remainder of my days within this dismal cell? |
35784 | An''if I an''t astray, he be the one your Reverence thinks would not be any the worse o''a wettin''?" |
35784 | An''t she a bewty? |
35784 | An''t she?" |
35784 | An''what d''ye want wi''me?" |
35784 | And a pretty sight it is, is n''t it? |
35784 | And d''y''spose I did n''t obsarve them glances exchanged twixt you and the salmon fisher-- sly, but, for all that, hot as streaks o''fire? |
35784 | And d''ye think I did n''t see Mr. Whitecap going down, afore ye thought o''a row yerself? |
35784 | And did not thy limpid waters bathe the feet of Fair Rosamond, in childhood''s days, when she herself was pure? |
35784 | And having gone so, the questions are, why, and whither? |
35784 | And how is she to give it, with least pain to him? |
35784 | And if other, what its business? |
35784 | And if suicide, why? |
35784 | And is it not for him they are there; risking liberty-- it may be life? |
35784 | And the cry heard so soon after? |
35784 | And the quarrel-- how did it end? |
35784 | And this very day, what meant Mr. Shenstone by that sudden and abrupt departure? |
35784 | And was in the water some time?" |
35784 | And what but the body of Gwendoline Wynn? |
35784 | And what can be keeping_ her_? |
35784 | And who?" |
35784 | And why am I to rejoice?" |
35784 | And why should n''t she, Père Rogier? |
35784 | And you think she will be able to obtain the information, without in any way compromising herself?" |
35784 | Anyhow, he''ll want her to go down to them grand doin''s at Llangorren Court?" |
35784 | Are you sure of that, Father Rogier?" |
35784 | As he is not questioned about these, why should he? |
35784 | As he stands with eyes glaring upon them, he is again accosted by his inquisitive acquaintance, who asks:"What''s the matter, Jawge? |
35784 | Be''t anybody ha''stoled the things out o''the boat? |
35784 | Bean''t there somethin''amiss?" |
35784 | Beast, bird, or fish?" |
35784 | Being so observant, I wonder if this everybody has also observed how I receive them?" |
35784 | Besides, is he not back there-- come of his own accord-- to confront his accusers, if any there still be? |
35784 | Brought up under the_ regimé_ of Louis and trained in the school of Eugenie, why need she fear either social slight or exclusion? |
35784 | But Mahon, drawing them for himself, says searchingly--"Then you have a suspicion there''s been what''s commonly called foul play?" |
35784 | But can it be the priest who is in it? |
35784 | But has she been borne off by force, or went she willingly? |
35784 | But have you any thoughts as to how we should proceed?" |
35784 | But how came I to it? |
35784 | But how could she think that? |
35784 | But how does it corrupt them?" |
35784 | But how have I come into it? |
35784 | But how is it to be hindered?" |
35784 | But how, your Reverence? |
35784 | But if only one, and that her, what of himself? |
35784 | But speaking seriously, Ryecroft, as you say you''re on business, may I know its nature?" |
35784 | But the Cognac? |
35784 | But the latter-- is it still alive and flourishing? |
35784 | But the time? |
35784 | But what am I thinkin''o''? |
35784 | But what do you conclude from its not having been?" |
35784 | But what is beauty to her with all these adjuncts? |
35784 | But what its width or depth, compared with that other something between? |
35784 | But what led ye to think he ha''been also in the housebreakin''line?" |
35784 | But what matters it? |
35784 | But what''s brought you to Boulogne?" |
35784 | But what''s the use of talking of a thing not likely to happen?" |
35784 | But what''s your argument?" |
35784 | But where are they? |
35784 | But where is the other, the false one? |
35784 | But whither?" |
35784 | But who in the deuce is the gentleman? |
35784 | But whom do you suspect?" |
35784 | But why be you so partic''lar about my goin''out-- this night more''n any other?" |
35784 | But why do ye ask? |
35784 | But why on each and every occasion has he found a gentleman there-- the same every time-- George Shenstone by name? |
35784 | But you surely do n''t suppose I could think of him as a sweetheart? |
35784 | But, maybe, I make too free, asking your business in Boulogne?" |
35784 | By the way, I hear you''re about to have grand doings at the Court-- a ball, and what not?" |
35784 | By the way, have I got my purse with me?" |
35784 | By the way, what have you got in that black jack?" |
35784 | Can I?" |
35784 | Can she be English? |
35784 | Can the chasm which angry words have created be bridged over? |
35784 | Can you?" |
35784 | Controlling it, the other asks, with diminished interest, still earnestly,--"What leads you to think that way, Wingate? |
35784 | D''d ye hear that, Captain?" |
35784 | Did n''t I, your Reverence? |
35784 | Did n''t it strike you so, Nelly?" |
35784 | Do n''t you think so?" |
35784 | Do you chance to know him?" |
35784 | Do you know where you can borrow such, or hire it?" |
35784 | Do you really mean that, Captain Ryecroft?" |
35784 | Does any one know who was his boatman?" |
35784 | Does he live at Llangorren? |
35784 | Does n''t it?" |
35784 | Dreaming? |
35784 | Dropped, of course; but under what circumstances? |
35784 | Dropping egg and cup, in stark astonishment, she demands:"What do you mean, Gibbons?" |
35784 | Dublin is his native place; but what would or could he now do there? |
35784 | Even if it were, you seem to forget that her mother, father-- all of them-- must have been cognizant of these facts-- if facts?" |
35784 | Fell from a foot plank, you told me? |
35784 | Flirting while engaged-- what might she do when married? |
35784 | For himself? |
35784 | For its solution he appeals to Ryecroft, asking,--"How about the moon?" |
35784 | For what are either now to him? |
35784 | George Shenstone? |
35784 | Giving the lurcher a kick to quiet the animal, he pulls back the bolt, and draws open the door, as he does so asking,"That you, Father Rogier?" |
35784 | Ha''the thing been cut off, or pulled up?" |
35784 | Ha''ye larned anythin''''bout him o''late?" |
35784 | Has any occurred to you, Gregoire?" |
35784 | Has it indeed carried away Gwen Wynn? |
35784 | Have I hit the nail upon the head?" |
35784 | Have I not played it to perfection?" |
35784 | Have you a reason?" |
35784 | Have you any idea of the reason, Nelly?" |
35784 | Have you any idea?" |
35784 | Have you?" |
35784 | He does not wait for her to speak; but asks excitedly:--"What''s the matter, mother?" |
35784 | He does so, asking:"But, Miss Gwen, what will your aunt say to it? |
35784 | He is himself interrogated the instant after, thus,--"You see that shadowed spot under the bank-- by the wall?" |
35784 | He''s shown the white feather?" |
35784 | He, however, has no doubt of it, muttering to himself,--"Wonder whose boat can be on the river this time o''night-- mornin'', I ought to say? |
35784 | Her face in the glass-- what the expression upon it? |
35784 | Her reflection followed by the inquiry, called out--"_ C''est vous, mon mari?_""Of course it is. |
35784 | His name, of course; but what the destination? |
35784 | His name?" |
35784 | His reverence is a Frenchman, is he?" |
35784 | How are the other twenty being spent? |
35784 | How are they to be occupied? |
35784 | How came he intwoduced at Llangowen?" |
35784 | How can she expect him to have resisted, or that his heart is still whole? |
35784 | How comes it to have been there in the summer- house? |
35784 | How could I expect or hope he would? |
35784 | How could he help? |
35784 | How could he otherwise? |
35784 | How could he while his young mistress lived? |
35784 | How could he, while so keenly suffering it for her? |
35784 | How could it be otherwise? |
35784 | How could she have lived throughout all that? |
35784 | How could there, since the younger addresses the older as"uncle"; himself in return being styled"nevvy"? |
35784 | How could there? |
35784 | How could there?" |
35784 | How could they otherwise? |
35784 | How could they? |
35784 | How else is her disappearance to be accounted for? |
35784 | How far?" |
35784 | How has she been taking it?" |
35784 | How is it you have n''t gone?" |
35784 | How is the odd time being spent by him? |
35784 | I han''t heerd her name; what be it?" |
35784 | I intend starting off within the hour, and, expecting a letter of some importance, may I ask you to glance over them again?" |
35784 | I merely wished to knaw who Mr. White Cap is?" |
35784 | I suppose leverets are plentiful just now, and easily caught, since they can no longer retreat to the standing corn?" |
35784 | I suppose she thought I''d gone to my room, and did n''t wish to disturb me? |
35784 | I suppose the train will be starting in a few minutes?" |
35784 | I suppose you''ve heard?" |
35784 | I take it they''re sufficient for reaching either bank of this river, supposing the skiff to get capsized, and you in it?" |
35784 | I think you told me she often accompanies him down to the boat stair at his departure?" |
35784 | I was only wondering why Miss Gwen-- that is, I am a little astonished-- but-- perhaps you''ll think it impertinent of me to ask another question?" |
35784 | If I mistake not, you can swim like a fish?" |
35784 | If I''ve been rightly informed, Miss Wynn, it belongs to a relative of yours?" |
35784 | If questioned about these commodities, what answer is he to make? |
35784 | If you do n''t expect pleasure there, for what should you be in such haste to reach it? |
35784 | In what does Mrs. Murdock differ from the rest of your Herefordshire fair?" |
35784 | In what way? |
35784 | Indirectly, then? |
35784 | Instead, it but adds to her bewilderment, and she once more exclaims, almost repeating herself,--"Am I myself? |
35784 | Instead, why not in angry spite fling it off-- as it has me? |
35784 | Instead, with simulated calmness, he says:"Suppose I step out and see whether she be near at hand?" |
35784 | Into France, too; for surely am I there? |
35784 | Is it a dream? |
35784 | Is it a sin? |
35784 | Is it growing? |
35784 | Is it hare?" |
35784 | Is it labelled?" |
35784 | Is it possible-- so early?" |
35784 | Is it possible?" |
35784 | Is it so, my son? |
35784 | Is it true?" |
35784 | Is n''t that so?" |
35784 | Is that true, Gwendoline? |
35784 | Is the priest jesting? |
35784 | Is there any harm in it?" |
35784 | Is there anything else you think of?" |
35784 | Is there thought of it in her heart-- for him? |
35784 | It is Miss Wynn who has commenced it, saying,--"You''ll come up to the house, and let me introduce you to my aunt?" |
35784 | It is all gone?" |
35784 | It is of him the priest speaks as king,--"Has he signed the will?" |
35784 | It is the lady who speaks first:--"I understand you''ve been but a short while resident in our neighbourhood, Captain Ryecroft?" |
35784 | It is to"blight his life''s bloom,"leaving him"an age all winters?" |
35784 | It''s but natural I should love our beautiful Wye-- I, born on its banks, brought up on them, and, I suppose, likely to----""What?" |
35784 | Jack?" |
35784 | Knaw him?" |
35784 | Less from observing his abstraction, than the slow, negligent movements of his knife and fork, the mother asks--"What''s the matter with ye, Jack? |
35784 | Let me see-- was it? |
35784 | Let me see; when will that be?" |
35784 | Madame la Chatelaine oblivious, I apprehend; in the midst of her afternoon nap?" |
35784 | May I ask what it is?" |
35784 | May I ask who is this_ she_ you''re soliloquising about? |
35784 | May I know them?" |
35784 | Maybe,"he continues, in a tone of confidential suggestion,"there be somebody as you think ought to get a duckin''beside myself?" |
35784 | Might_ he_ be a cousin?" |
35784 | Miss Wynn?" |
35784 | Mr. Murdock''s a character, then?" |
35784 | Murdock has himself come easily by it, and why should he not be made as easily to part with it? |
35784 | Murdock?" |
35784 | Musgrave?" |
35784 | Musgrave?" |
35784 | Need I tell you who sent it, Richard Dempsey?" |
35784 | No enemy, I hope?" |
35784 | Not Monsieur Shenstone, after all?" |
35784 | Not alone, I take it?" |
35784 | Not much in the manner, I should say; but altogether the contrary,"she laughs, adding--"And how do you like our Wye?" |
35784 | Not on the sick list, I hope?" |
35784 | Not receiving immediate answer, Ellen again asked--"Is there any danger you fear?" |
35784 | Not the Captain?" |
35784 | Now, Captain, what do ye think o''the whole thing?" |
35784 | Now, Jack, whose boat could that be if it wa''nt your''n?" |
35784 | Now, Monsieur, do you comprehend me?" |
35784 | Odd succession of events, is it not?" |
35784 | Of course you''ll stay, gentlemen? |
35784 | Only with my life? |
35784 | Only, who these redemptionists are that take such interest in my spiritual welfare, and how I have come to be here, surely I may know?" |
35784 | Or am I mad? |
35784 | Or am I to wait for''em here?" |
35784 | Or have my senses indeed forsaken me?" |
35784 | Or in that face, dark and disfigured, who could recognise the once radiant countenance of Llangorren''s young heiress? |
35784 | Or is it insanity?" |
35784 | Or is there yet a chance of reconciliation? |
35784 | Or would ye rather be took on up to the town? |
35784 | Or, stepping off, does he spurn the boat with angry heel, as in angry speech he has done her whose name it bears? |
35784 | Out at this hour?" |
35784 | Perhaps in Paris? |
35784 | Perhaps you''ll extend it, and favour me with the lady''s name? |
35784 | Rang no bell? |
35784 | Ryecroft smiles, further interrogating:--"What have you heard of her?" |
35784 | S''pose we gie''em a capsize?" |
35784 | S''pose we slide after, and see where she hangs out?" |
35784 | Sadness, or joy? |
35784 | Saying which, she slips several shillings into his hand, adding, as she notes the effect--"Do you think it sufficiently heavy? |
35784 | Shall I call him in?" |
35784 | Shall I run down to the boat- dock and see?" |
35784 | She mayent like you young ladies to go rowin''by yourselves? |
35784 | She''s at home, is n''t she?" |
35784 | Shenstone?" |
35784 | Shenstone?" |
35784 | Shenstone?" |
35784 | Should ye like take a drop o''somethin''''fores you lie down?" |
35784 | Sidling up to the girl, he asks, in a tone which tells of lovers_ en rapport_, mutually, unmistakably--"When, Mary?" |
35784 | So, my boy, you perceive the necessity of our acting with caution in this business, whatever trouble or time it may take-- don''t you?" |
35784 | Some business?" |
35784 | Some of your old English_ bonnes amies_, I suppose?" |
35784 | Something happened between you, eh?" |
35784 | Something wrong?" |
35784 | Soon again he resumes his conjectured soliloquy:--"''Tan''t possible she ha''been to the Ferry, an''goed back again? |
35784 | Suppose I write a note requesting his presence, with explanations?" |
35784 | Suppose hers should some day go to the bottom, she being in it?" |
35784 | Suppose we do?" |
35784 | Surely I''d have heard it? |
35784 | Surely it can not come from any of the sisters? |
35784 | Surely our oaks, elms, and poplars can not be compared with the tall palms and graceful tree ferns of the tropics?" |
35784 | Surely she has been found?" |
35784 | Surely the Captain is not going to call on Mr. Lewin Murdock-- in amicable intercourse? |
35784 | Surely you arn''t goin''out again the night?" |
35784 | Surely, not a pleasure excursion, at such an unreasonable hour-- night just drawing down? |
35784 | Taking her seat, she asks:"Where''s Gwen?" |
35784 | Tell me why I am here?" |
35784 | That appears too early for the after event? |
35784 | The balin''pan, or that bit o''cushion in the stern?" |
35784 | The boat coming back? |
35784 | The first is,--"You''re not afraid of water, are you, Dick?" |
35784 | The longer before fishing the thing up, the better it will be for our purposes: you comprehend?" |
35784 | The same name, you''re sure?" |
35784 | Then adding, as he observes a young man leap down from the box where he has had seat beside the driver,"Part of your belongings, is n''t he?" |
35784 | Then succeeds inquiry as to how the death has been brought about; whether it be a case of suicide or assassination? |
35784 | Then why be ye looking so black?" |
35784 | There han''t been nobody to the house-- has there?" |
35784 | They hold their_ téte- à- téte_ there at times, do they?" |
35784 | They may not know where I am? |
35784 | Three of them-- that at least in curious correspondence? |
35784 | To the first,''How?'' |
35784 | True there will be four against two; but what of it? |
35784 | True, your Wye is subject to sudden floods; might it have aught to do with them?" |
35784 | Turning savagely on Ryecroft, he stammers out--"Hic-- ic-- who the blazes be you, Mr. White Cap? |
35784 | Upon what do you base them?" |
35784 | WHAT DOES HE WANT? |
35784 | WHAT DOES HE WANT? |
35784 | Waked for two days, as I understood you; then laid in her grave? |
35784 | Was n''t it a little strange?" |
35784 | Was n''t it,_ chèrie_?" |
35784 | Was the girl good looking?" |
35784 | Well, what''d I best do? |
35784 | What answer did you gie to the man?" |
35784 | What are your own thoughts about it, Jack?" |
35784 | What are your reasons for doubting it?" |
35784 | What boat could have been there but his own? |
35784 | What can I remember? |
35784 | What can he be doing down there? |
35784 | What care I?" |
35784 | What could it mean? |
35784 | What could it mean?" |
35784 | What did the sarvint say?" |
35784 | What difference whether he find the grave of his griefs in Paris or Boulogne-- if find it he can? |
35784 | What do I care?" |
35784 | What do you know of_ him_?" |
35784 | What for could have been angry words? |
35784 | What ha''become o''they?" |
35784 | What have you done with them?" |
35784 | What have you got to reward me for it?" |
35784 | What if there be some one on the road, or the river''s bank, and be seen in the act of capsizing his own boat? |
35784 | What is it? |
35784 | What is it?" |
35784 | What is such a man doing in Herefordshire? |
35784 | What is this barometer you seem to place such confidence in? |
35784 | What is to compare with that to come? |
35784 | What makes ye think he ha''been a forger?" |
35784 | What man in love, profoundly, passionately as he, could believe his last chance eliminated, or have his ultimate hope extinguished? |
35784 | What matter? |
35784 | What mean you?" |
35784 | What say you, Nell?" |
35784 | What say you, Wingate?" |
35784 | What should be my first pretence? |
35784 | What should we do to''em, Captain?" |
35784 | What sort of fellow is he?" |
35784 | What sort of place is it? |
35784 | What sort of sound?" |
35784 | What step do you wish me to take first?" |
35784 | What then? |
35784 | What then? |
35784 | What was it, pray?" |
35784 | What will_ they_ do?--and think? |
35784 | What would ye think o''my predecessor here bein''a burglar as well as smasher?" |
35784 | What''s cheerin''him? |
35784 | What''s that? |
35784 | What''s the hour now? |
35784 | What''s your idea, Mahon?" |
35784 | What, after all, if his suspicions prove groundless, and it turn out that Captain Ryecroft is entirely innocent? |
35784 | What, in Protestant England? |
35784 | What_ has_ occurred there?" |
35784 | What_ jeu d''esprit_ has he been perpetrating?" |
35784 | When I left the ferry, he was in the Welsh Harp, as I was told, tossing sovereigns upon its bar counter,''Heads and tails, who wins?'' |
35784 | When seated at the table, the Major asks,--"What on earth has delayed you, Vivian? |
35784 | When will it be over?" |
35784 | When, and where?" |
35784 | When? |
35784 | Whence all this plenty, within walls where of late and for so long has been such scarcity? |
35784 | Where do you suppose, mother?" |
35784 | Where is he who has both to be relied upon? |
35784 | Where is the beautiful woman, by both beloved, fondly, passionately? |
35784 | Where is the man who would not feel flattered, gratified, to be the shrine of such sacrifice, and from such a worshipper? |
35784 | Where is the man who would not rather know his sweetheart dead than see her in the arms of a rival? |
35784 | Where, and how, is one to be had? |
35784 | Where?" |
35784 | Where?" |
35784 | Where?" |
35784 | Whether in the country, or in a town among houses? |
35784 | Which did she go by-- the path or the lane? |
35784 | Which is she to take? |
35784 | Which quarter is she in? |
35784 | Which way did you come, Father Rogier-- the path or the lane?" |
35784 | Whither then? |
35784 | Who could fail to observe that pretty hand play, when you two were twining the ivy around the altar- rail? |
35784 | Who could''a carried it across the river-- that night especial, wi''a flood lippin''full up to the banks? |
35784 | Who dreams of that? |
35784 | Who else could it be? |
35784 | Who has brought me? |
35784 | Who is to do this? |
35784 | Who knows but that in a fit of drunken bravado he may stake the whole estate on a single turn of cards or cast of dice? |
35784 | Who says I do?" |
35784 | Who so circumstanced ever does? |
35784 | Who would n''t with such laws-- unrighteous, oppressive to the poor? |
35784 | Who, Père?" |
35784 | Who, then, is the owner of the brooch, bracelets, and other bijouterie? |
35784 | Who-- what is he?" |
35784 | Who?" |
35784 | Why all this? |
35784 | Why did I ever leave you?" |
35784 | Why did he not start earlier? |
35784 | Why do you wish that?" |
35784 | Why has it stopped there? |
35784 | Why is he not here? |
35784 | Why is it staying? |
35784 | Why not, Miss Wynn?" |
35784 | Why not?" |
35784 | Why should I not dissemble? |
35784 | Why should I?" |
35784 | Why should I?" |
35784 | Why should it? |
35784 | Why should she have gone outside? |
35784 | Why should that attract the attention of the young Herefordshire squire, causing him to start, as it first catches his eye? |
35784 | Why then should I cling to it? |
35784 | Why, may I ask? |
35784 | Why? |
35784 | Will ye let me wake her up? |
35784 | Will your Reverence enlighten me?" |
35784 | Within a mile of their own home, and still within the boundary of the Llangorren land, how could they think of danger such as is threatening? |
35784 | Wonder what it means? |
35784 | Wonder why she did n''t wake me up? |
35784 | Would you desire that?" |
35784 | Wyquoft-- Wyquoft, you say?" |
35784 | Ye remember my tellin''you, mother?" |
35784 | Ye see what comes o''sich as they humbuggin''about in a boat?" |
35784 | Ye understand me, mother?" |
35784 | Ye''ll remember the night we come up from the ball, my tellin''ye I had an engagement the next day to take the young Powells down the river?" |
35784 | Yet, would you believe it, Nelly, notwithstanding all, I sometimes have a strange fear upon me?" |
35784 | You comprehend?" |
35784 | You comprehend?" |
35784 | You do n''t expect the Father, our only visitor, to- night? |
35784 | You have it in the house, I hope?" |
35784 | You know his name?" |
35784 | You know the place-- you know the ring, too?" |
35784 | You mean Captain Ryecroft?" |
35784 | You really admire it?" |
35784 | You see that big poplar standing on the bank there?" |
35784 | You see that building below?" |
35784 | You see that?" |
35784 | You will, wo n''t you?" |
35784 | You''ll stand by me, Mahon?" |
35784 | You''ll stay to dinner with us, Father Rogier?" |
35784 | You''ll stay? |
35784 | _ Comprenez- vous, chèrie?_""_ Parfaitement!_ But how is it to be brought to a termination. |
35784 | a pleasure trip, I suppose?" |
35784 | an''t he, Jack?" |
35784 | and the men in it those whose names he had mentioned? |
35784 | cry both gentlemen in a breath, seeming alike vexed by the intelligence, Shenstone mechanically interrogating:"On the river?" |
35784 | ejaculated the Major, struck by the words, and their despondent tone,"what''s this, old fellow? |
35784 | groans the young girl in despair, flinging herself along the pallet, and for the third time interrogating,"Am I myself, and dreaming? |
35784 | he repeats, with a look of blank astonishment--"What the deuce does it mean?" |
35784 | nigh on the stroke o''eleven? |
35784 | she exclaims involuntarily, adding, in a timid whisper,"Was it, Gregoire?" |
35784 | she exclaims, as if pricked by a pin,"Mademoiselle to be married?" |
35784 | she exclaims, in feigned astonishment,"ye bean''t a comin''from the Ferry that way?" |
35784 | she exclaims,"what are we to do? |
35784 | the Morgans?" |
35784 | this time you_ have_ an errand? |
35784 | what d''ye mean?" |
35784 | what do it mean?" |
35784 | what is to become of me? |
35784 | what shall we do?" |
35784 | what way?" |
35784 | what''s going on at Llangorren?" |
35784 | where am I to find this means?" |
35784 | where?" |
35784 | who can tell? |
35784 | why did I not know it before?" |
35784 | would n''t you like to be sellin''her a pair of kids-- Jouvin''s best-- helpin''her draw them on, eh?" |
35784 | yonder''s a very different sort of pedestrian approaching it? |
35784 | you have learnt something since?" |
35784 | you know it?" |
35784 | you''ll break your journey here, and stay a few days with me? |
35196 | A bottle of your best brandy-- the French cognac? |
35196 | Addicted to dipsomania? |
35196 | Always? |
35196 | Am I myself? 35196 Among the invited Le Capitaine Ryecroft, I presume?" |
35196 | Amongst them did ye include forgin''? |
35196 | An otter, then? |
35196 | And I hope worthy of Olympe Renault? |
35196 | And all ready for starting? |
35196 | And has there been no search yet? |
35196 | And how am I to bring it home to them? 35196 And my saying that the man who had just got out of it, and gone inside, resembled a priest I''d seen but a day or two before?" |
35196 | And suppose we do that to- day? |
35196 | And supposing her to be alive,he asks,"where do you think she is now? |
35196 | And surer with a heavier one, as yourself, for instance? |
35196 | And the waterman, too? |
35196 | And what after? |
35196 | And what did you hear? |
35196 | And where am I to bring it? |
35196 | And where has she slept? |
35196 | And who do you suspect besides? |
35196 | And why did n''t you, Gibbons? 35196 And without committing,"--he fears to speak the ugly English word, but expresses the idea in French--"_cette dernier coup_?" |
35196 | And ye found them in the cubbert too? |
35196 | And you do think he has gone for good? |
35196 | And you really think she has n''t slept in her room? |
35196 | And you''d like to be a rich one? |
35196 | And you''re quite sure she has not slept in her room? |
35196 | And, supposing him identified, what follows? |
35196 | Are they there still? |
35196 | Are you quite sure, sir? 35196 Are you sure of it? |
35196 | As who? |
35196 | At what? |
35196 | Attending to culinary matters, I presume? 35196 Be there anythin''amiss?" |
35196 | Be what? |
35196 | Business-- wi''me? |
35196 | But ai n''t he stayin''in the neighbourhood longer than he first spoke of doin''? |
35196 | But could you as you are now-- with clothes on, boots, and everything? |
35196 | But have you ever known of a boat being moored in there? |
35196 | But he''s very good- looking? |
35196 | But how can that concern any one save myself? |
35196 | But how gone? 35196 But how is it to be avoided?" |
35196 | But is there still? |
35196 | But not when he leaves at a late hour-- as, for instance, when he dines at the Court; which I know he has done several times? |
35196 | But surely it is not so? 35196 But then she was drowned also? |
35196 | But there be new people there now, ye sayed? |
35196 | But what do you advise my doing,_ Pere_? 35196 But what do you make of all that?" |
35196 | But what made ye go there, Jack? |
35196 | But what sort of man is he? 35196 But what''s to be the upshot? |
35196 | But why are you looking so often below? 35196 But why ca n''t it be done?" |
35196 | But why do you think he means fight? 35196 But why should she assist in such a dangerous deception-- at risk of her daughter''s life?" |
35196 | But why should we? |
35196 | But why, Jack? 35196 But why, madame?" |
35196 | But why? |
35196 | But yaw do n''t think he''s an adventuwer? |
35196 | But you are not recommending it, now-- in this little convent matter? |
35196 | But you saw her in her coffin? 35196 But, shawly, that is n''t how the gentleman yondaw made acquaintance with the fair Gwendoline?" |
35196 | But,continues the Major, greatly moved,"you''ll forgive me, old fellow, for being so inquisitive? |
35196 | Can it be he? |
35196 | Can you wonder at that? |
35196 | Come, Captain Ryecroft; you know what I allude to? |
35196 | Do n''t yield the_ Sassenach_ an inch? |
35196 | Do you mean to say you''re not aware of what''s happened? |
35196 | Do you suppose, Miss Lees, I have n''t penetrated your secret long ago? 35196 Do you think they''ll be out long?" |
35196 | Does what mean? |
35196 | Dressing, may be? 35196 Drowned? |
35196 | Fear of what? |
35196 | Frightened o''what? 35196 From the cold he caught that night, I suppose?" |
35196 | Had n''t we better keep on, an''make sure? |
35196 | Hansom, sir? |
35196 | Has any letter reached Llangorren Court? |
35196 | Have you a through ticket? |
35196 | Have you any idea whose? |
35196 | He visits often at the Court of late? |
35196 | He with the vewy peculya head gear? 35196 He''s a gentleman, is he?" |
35196 | He''s dying, then? |
35196 | He''s gone then? |
35196 | He''s out too, then? |
35196 | Her name? |
35196 | How can I help thinkin''it? 35196 How can he, Jack?" |
35196 | How can it give you a belief in the girl being still alive? 35196 How far did the man say? |
35196 | How long is it since she went off? |
35196 | How long since they went off-- may I know, Miss Linton? |
35196 | How should I know, my son? 35196 How soon do you think? |
35196 | How then? |
35196 | How was he introduced? |
35196 | How would you like to live in that over yonder? |
35196 | How would you like, somebody else being with you in it--_if made worth your while_? |
35196 | How''d I like it, your Reverence? 35196 How''m I to help it, Miss Gwen? |
35196 | How,_ Pere_? |
35196 | How-- where? |
35196 | I can understand all that; still I do n''t quite see its application, or how the English Foreign Minister can be interested in those you allude to? |
35196 | I mean for Miss Wynn-- since the night of that ball? |
35196 | I wonder where the place is? 35196 In a worldly sense, you mean? |
35196 | In that case, why did n''t you bring him in? |
35196 | In what direction did you hear them? |
35196 | In what respect? 35196 In what way could I?" |
35196 | In what way? 35196 In what way? |
35196 | In what way? |
35196 | Is it likely they will, Miss Linton? |
35196 | Is it strange, Ellen? |
35196 | Is it yourself? 35196 Is n''t it a beautiful creature?" |
35196 | Is that any reason we should n''t now? |
35196 | Is that so? |
35196 | Is there any landing- place there for a boat? |
35196 | Is what true? |
35196 | It be a bird, Captain? 35196 It is a love secret, then? |
35196 | It is your place to look after the letters, I believe? |
35196 | It may as well be written now-- may it not? |
35196 | It''s very kind of you, Mahon; but that must depend on--"On what? |
35196 | Let him-- as many as he likes; you do n''t suppose I''ll believe them? |
35196 | Let me have a squint at it? |
35196 | Let me hear it, Mahon? |
35196 | Llangowen Court? |
35196 | May I have a hint o''what it is? |
35196 | May I know who that one is, Father Rogier? |
35196 | Meanin''o''what, sir? |
35196 | Mr George Shenstone? |
35196 | Murdock is married, then? |
35196 | My wife? |
35196 | Nay, I am sure,continues Miss Linton, with provoking coolness,"they would have been glad to go riding with you; delighted--""But why ca n''t they?" |
35196 | No, Mahon; instead, proved himself as brave a fellow as ever stood before sword point, or dared pistol bullet? |
35196 | Not here? |
35196 | Oh, mother, what did you dream about them? |
35196 | Old acquaintance; friend, I presume? 35196 Only whether-- whether she-- Miss Gwen, I mean-- said anything about riding to- day?" |
35196 | Ormeston Hall? 35196 Perhaps you''d prefer it being boots? |
35196 | Quite turn it upside down-- as your old truckle, eh? |
35196 | Richard--_le braconnier_--you''re thinking of? |
35196 | Rogue''s Ferry? 35196 Shall I read it to you?" |
35196 | Shall I turn the boat back? |
35196 | Sharp fellow? |
35196 | So you think he have a notion o''her, Jack? |
35196 | Somethin''to do wi''the coracle, have it? |
35196 | Specify, Jack? |
35196 | Starve on them, you mean? |
35196 | Sure, then, the Captain han''t been to visit them? |
35196 | Surely he will not be so stupid-- so insane? 35196 That all he said?" |
35196 | That you, Mary? |
35196 | That''s to be on Thursday, ye sayed? |
35196 | The canwyll corph? |
35196 | The heequall? |
35196 | The man''s wife must know all about it? |
35196 | The moon? |
35196 | Then there''s no trouble between you? |
35196 | Then what''s been a scarin''ye, mother? |
35196 | There ha''something happened? |
35196 | They did so? |
35196 | They mean mischief,mutters Wingate;"what''d we best do, Captain? |
35196 | To your great annoyance, no doubt; if it did not make you dreadfully jealous? |
35196 | Too late for what? 35196 True, but does that bear upon our affair?" |
35196 | True, how? 35196 True; and, availing myself of that, I might have been gone long since, as you supposed, but for--""For what?" |
35196 | True; but, then, there may come a fare the morrow, an''what if there do? 35196 Two hours ago they got off, you say?" |
35196 | WHERE''S GWEN? |
35196 | Well, and what after? |
35196 | Well; an''what if''t be? |
35196 | Well; did it strike you as a cry that would come from one falling over the cliff-- by accident or otherwise? |
35196 | Well; what of him? |
35196 | Well; what of it? |
35196 | Well? |
35196 | What are they? 35196 What are they? |
35196 | What article? |
35196 | What be there so odd in that? |
35196 | What can Jack be coming after? 35196 What can all that mean? |
35196 | What can it mean? |
35196 | What could be more ridiculous? |
35196 | What do you mean, Wingate? 35196 What do you think it was?" |
35196 | What fellow? |
35196 | What had he to say about me? |
35196 | What have you done with those addressed to Miss Wynn? |
35196 | What have you heard, mother? |
35196 | What have you? |
35196 | What hour? |
35196 | What is it, Wingate? |
35196 | What is it? |
35196 | What is it? |
35196 | What is it? |
35196 | What is it? |
35196 | What is it? |
35196 | What is it? |
35196 | What is there specially repulsive about him? |
35196 | What makes you suppose she is there? |
35196 | What makes you think I''m lookin''that way? |
35196 | What may it be, your Reverence? |
35196 | What may that be, Father Rogier? |
35196 | What mean you, Gregoire? |
35196 | What more? |
35196 | What more? |
35196 | What news? |
35196 | What other respects? |
35196 | What other thing? |
35196 | What reasons? |
35196 | What say you, gentlemen? |
35196 | What sort of a man? |
35196 | What sort of anodyne? |
35196 | What then? |
35196 | What then? |
35196 | What thing, pway? |
35196 | What thing? |
35196 | What train? |
35196 | What was it? 35196 What''s strangest?" |
35196 | What''s that for? |
35196 | What''s the meaning of all this, Joe? |
35196 | What, Gregoire? |
35196 | What, may I ask? |
35196 | What? |
35196 | What? |
35196 | What? |
35196 | What? |
35196 | What? |
35196 | What? |
35196 | Whatever be the matter wi''ye, Jack? |
35196 | Whatever ha kep''ye, Jack? 35196 When is it to be?" |
35196 | When is this horror to have an end? 35196 When might you want it, your Reverence?" |
35196 | When? |
35196 | Where are they? |
35196 | Where are you going, Gwen? |
35196 | Where be the poor man abidin''now? |
35196 | Where can Gregoire have gone? |
35196 | Where did you find them? |
35196 | Where do they weesh the boat to be took? 35196 Where ha''ye heerd all this, Jack?" |
35196 | Where may that be? |
35196 | Where? 35196 Where?" |
35196 | Where? |
35196 | Where? |
35196 | Where? |
35196 | Which of us do you propose staying here? 35196 Which?" |
35196 | Who can be asking for me? |
35196 | Who could help liking it? |
35196 | Who is Mr Shenstone? |
35196 | Who is that young lady? |
35196 | Who is this other? |
35196 | Who the deuce is he? |
35196 | Who then? |
35196 | Who''s his endawser? 35196 Who? |
35196 | Who? |
35196 | Who? |
35196 | Who? |
35196 | Whose is it, Jack? |
35196 | Why all this emotion about such a_ miserable_? 35196 Why d''y aw say that, Jawge?" |
35196 | Why do you say so, Captain Ryecroft? |
35196 | Why do you think that? 35196 Why must you? |
35196 | Why odd? |
35196 | Why should I? 35196 Why should it?" |
35196 | Why so? |
35196 | Why too well? |
35196 | Why wo n''t it do in the mornin''? |
35196 | Why, Ryecroft, you''re surely joking? |
35196 | Wi''who? |
35196 | Will you take it neat, or mixed wi''a drop o''water? |
35196 | Wish to do what? |
35196 | With safety? |
35196 | Would it greatly surprise you, if to- night your husband did n''t come home to you? |
35196 | Wynn, eh? 35196 Ye ha''been into the chapel buryin''groun''then?" |
35196 | Ye had a big time last night at Llangorren? |
35196 | Ye say ye know him better than ye did? 35196 Ye suspect somebody, then?" |
35196 | Ye''re to see him the morrow, then? |
35196 | Yes; well? |
35196 | Yes? |
35196 | You advise my going over to Llangorren? |
35196 | You can write, Jack-- can''t you? |
35196 | You do n''t think it was Dick and his coracle, then? |
35196 | You have n''t yet told me his name? |
35196 | You mean Mr Murdock? |
35196 | You mean the tongue of_ le braconnier_? |
35196 | You mean--? |
35196 | You said nothing of this at the inquest? |
35196 | You say you''ve brought them along? |
35196 | You see something? |
35196 | You think only_ days_? |
35196 | You think there were others? |
35196 | You''ll come up to the house, and let me introduce you to my aunt? |
35196 | You''re not going to Paris now-- not this night? |
35196 | You''re quite sure of that,_ ma fille_? |
35196 | You''re quite sure there was a boat, Wingate? |
35196 | You''re sure you''ll be able? |
35196 | You''ve been to the Ferry, then? |
35196 | You''ve done something to keep him quiet? |
35196 | Your waterman, sir, Wingate, says he''d like to see you, if convenient? |
35196 | _ Comment_? 35196 _ Le bagage bien arrange_?" |
35196 | _ No_? |
35196 | --were her husband present it would be"Pere;"but she is alone--"Who''s gone away? |
35196 | A gentle tapping at the door tells him the trigger is touched; and, responding to the signal, he calls out--"That you, Jack Wingate? |
35196 | A man guilty of aught illegal-- much more one who has committed a capital crime-- would not be acting thus? |
35196 | A nate thing, and a close shave, was n''t it? |
35196 | Above all, who are the men in it? |
35196 | Above all, why her distraught look, with the sigh accompanying it, as the baronet''s son went galloping out of the gate? |
35196 | After a sip, he resumes speech with the remark:"If I mistake not, you are a poor man, Monsieur Dempsey?" |
35196 | After a time it occurs to him he has been spoken to and asks--"What did you observe, Wingate?" |
35196 | After a time, he again observes:--"You''ve said you do n''t know the ladies we''ve helped out of their little trouble?" |
35196 | After all, what do it matter-- only a bit o''weed?" |
35196 | All I said was, that somebody thinks so; and that is n''t I. Shall I tell you who it is?" |
35196 | All that can be said is, she disappeared on the night of the ball, without telling any one-- no trace left behind-- except--""Except what?" |
35196 | Am I not right? |
35196 | Am I, indeed, to pass the remainder of my days within this dismal cell? |
35196 | An''if I an''t astray, he be the one your Reverence thinks would not be any the worse o''a wettin''?" |
35196 | An''t she a bewty? |
35196 | An''t she?" |
35196 | An''what d''ye want wi''me?" |
35196 | And a pretty sight it is, is n''t it? |
35196 | And d''y''spose I did n''t obsarve them glances exchanged twixt you and the salmon fisher-- sly, but for all that, hot as streaks o''fire? |
35196 | And having gone so, the questions are, why and whither? |
35196 | And how is she to give it, with least pain to him? |
35196 | And if other, what its business? |
35196 | And if suicide, why? |
35196 | And is it not for him they are there; risking liberty-- it may be life? |
35196 | And the cry heard so soon after? |
35196 | And the men in it those whose names he has mentioned? |
35196 | And the quarrel; how did it end? |
35196 | And this very day, what meant Mr Shenstone by that sudden and abrupt departure? |
35196 | And was in the water some time?" |
35196 | And what but the body of Gwendoline Wynn? |
35196 | And what can be keeping_ her_? |
35196 | And who?" |
35196 | And why am I to rejoice?" |
35196 | And why should n''t she, Pere Rogier? |
35196 | And you think she will be able to obtain the information, without in any way compromising herself?" |
35196 | Anyhow, he''ll want her to go down to them grand doin''s at Llangowen Court?" |
35196 | Are they not, Mr Musgrave?" |
35196 | As he is not questioned about these, why should he? |
35196 | As he joins her going out, she asks,_ sotto voce_:--"_ C''est arrange_?" |
35196 | As he stands with eyes glaring upon them, he is again accosted by his inquisitive acquaintance, who asks:"What''s the matter, Jawge? |
35196 | Be''t anybody ha''stoled the things out o''the boat? |
35196 | Bean''t there somethin''amiss?" |
35196 | Beast, bird, or fish?" |
35196 | Being so observant, I wonder if this everybody has also observed how I receive them?" |
35196 | Besides, is he not back there-- come of his own accord-- to confront his accusers, if any there still be? |
35196 | Brought up under the_ regime_ of Louis and trained in the school of Eugenie, why need she fear either social slight or exclusion? |
35196 | But Mahon, drawing them for himself, says searchingly--"Then you have a suspicion there''s been what''s commonly called foul play?" |
35196 | But can it be the priest who is in it? |
35196 | But has she been borne off by force, or went she willingly? |
35196 | But have you any thoughts as to how we should proceed?" |
35196 | But how came I to it? |
35196 | But how could she think that? |
35196 | But how does it corrupt them?" |
35196 | But how have I come into it? |
35196 | But how is it to be hindered?" |
35196 | But how, your Reverence? |
35196 | But possibly better not? |
35196 | But speaking seriously, Ryecroft, as you say you''re on business, may I know its nature?" |
35196 | But the Cognac? |
35196 | But the latter-- is it still alive and flourishing? |
35196 | But the throe passing, she again pursues her soliloquy, now in more conjectural strain:--"Strange that no friend has come after me? |
35196 | But the time? |
35196 | But what am I thinkin''o''? |
35196 | But what do you conclude from its not having been?" |
35196 | But what has that to do with your daughter''s going to the Ferry?" |
35196 | But what is beauty to her with all these adjuncts? |
35196 | But what its width or depth, compared with that other something between? |
35196 | But what led ye to think he ha''been also in the housebreaking line?" |
35196 | But what matters it? |
35196 | But what''s the use of talking of a thing not likely to happen?" |
35196 | But what''s your argument?" |
35196 | But where are they? |
35196 | But where is the other, the false one? |
35196 | But whither?" |
35196 | But who do you suspect?" |
35196 | But who the deuce is the gentleman? |
35196 | But why be you so partic''lar about my goin''out-- this night more''n any other?" |
35196 | But why do ye ask? |
35196 | But why on each and every occasion has he found a gentleman there-- the same every time-- George Shenstone by name? |
35196 | But you surely do n''t suppose I could think of him as a sweetheart? |
35196 | But''s what brought you to Boulogne?" |
35196 | But, maybe, I make too free, asking your business in Boulogne?" |
35196 | By the way, I hear you''re about to have grand doings at the Court-- a ball, and what not?" |
35196 | By the way, have I got my purse with me?" |
35196 | By the way, what have you got in that black jack?" |
35196 | Ca n''t a been anybody else? |
35196 | Ca n''t be a brother? |
35196 | Can I take the liberty of asking him into your house, Mahon?" |
35196 | Can I?" |
35196 | Can it be possible, that what they are looking upon is she who once was Gwendoline Wynn? |
35196 | Can she be English? |
35196 | Can the chasm which angry words have created be bridged over? |
35196 | Can you?" |
35196 | Controlling it, the other asks, with diminished interest, still earnestly:--"What leads you to think that way, Wingate? |
35196 | Did n''t I, your Reverence? |
35196 | Did n''t it strike you so, Nelly?" |
35196 | Did ye hear that, Captain?" |
35196 | Do n''t you think so?" |
35196 | Do you chance to know him?" |
35196 | Do you know where you can borrow such, or hire it?" |
35196 | Do you really mean that, Captain Ryecroft?" |
35196 | Does anyone know who was his boatman?" |
35196 | Does he live at Llangorren? |
35196 | Does n''t it?" |
35196 | Dreaming? |
35196 | Dropped, of course; but under what circumstances? |
35196 | Dropping egg and cup, in stark astonishment, she demands:"What do you mean, Gibbons?" |
35196 | Dublin is his native place; but what would or could he now do there? |
35196 | Even if it were, you seem to forget that her mother, father-- all of them-- must have been cognisant of these facts-- if facts?" |
35196 | Fell from a foot plank, you told me? |
35196 | Flirting while engaged-- what might she do when married? |
35196 | For himself? |
35196 | For its solution he appeals to Ryecroft, asking:--"How about the moon?" |
35196 | For what are either now to him? |
35196 | George Shenstone? |
35196 | Giving the lurcher a kick to quiet the animal, he pulls back the bolt, and draws open the door, as he does so asking,"That you, Father Rogier?" |
35196 | Ha''the thing been cut off, or pulled up?" |
35196 | Ha''ye larned anythin''''bout him o''late?" |
35196 | Has any occurred to you, Gregoire?" |
35196 | Has it indeed carried away Gwen Wynn? |
35196 | Have I hit the nail upon the head?" |
35196 | Have I not played it to perfection?" |
35196 | Have been up to that famous catching place by the Ferry, and are on the way home downward-- to Rock Weir, no doubt? |
35196 | Have you a reason?" |
35196 | Have you any idea of the reason, Nelly?" |
35196 | Have you any idea?" |
35196 | Have you put down the date? |
35196 | Have you?" |
35196 | He does not wait for her to speak, but asks excitedly:--"What''s the matter, mother?" |
35196 | He does so, asking:"But, Miss Gwen; what will your aunt say to it? |
35196 | He is himself interrogated the instant after-- thus:--"You see that shadowed spot under the bank-- by the wall?" |
35196 | He seeks an explanation:--"How is it, Jack, that you, living but a short league above, do n''t know all about these people?" |
35196 | He''s shown the white feather?" |
35196 | He, however, has no doubt of it, muttering to himself--"Wonder whose boat can be on the river this time o''night-- mornin'', I ought to say? |
35196 | Her face in the glass-- what the expression upon it? |
35196 | Her reflection followed by the inquiry, called out--"_ C''est vous, mon mari_?" |
35196 | His name of course, but what the destination? |
35196 | His name?" |
35196 | His reverence is a Frenchman, is he?" |
35196 | Holding out the card Ryecroft says interrogatively--"Is this meant for me, Mr Shenstone?" |
35196 | How are the other twenty being spent? |
35196 | How are they to be occupied? |
35196 | How came he intwoduced at Llangowen?" |
35196 | How can she expect him to have resisted, or that his heart is still whole? |
35196 | How comes it to have been there in the summer- house? |
35196 | How could I expect, or hope, he would? |
35196 | How could he help? |
35196 | How could he otherwise? |
35196 | How could he while his young mistress lived? |
35196 | How could it be otherwise? |
35196 | How could she have lived throughout all that? |
35196 | How could there, since the younger addresses the older as"uncle"; himself in return being styled"nevvy?" |
35196 | How could there? |
35196 | How could there?" |
35196 | How could they otherwise? |
35196 | How could they? |
35196 | How else is her disappearance to be accounted for? |
35196 | How far?" |
35196 | How has she been taking it?" |
35196 | How is it you have n''t gone?" |
35196 | How is the odd time being spent by him? |
35196 | I ask you again-- have you thought of anything, Gregoire?" |
35196 | I han''t heerd her name; what be it?" |
35196 | I intend starting off within the hour, and expecting a letter of some importance, may I ask you to glance over them again?" |
35196 | I may be wronging them all-- friends-- relatives-- even him? |
35196 | I merely wished to know who Mr White Cap is?" |
35196 | I suppose leverets are plentiful just now, and easily caught, since they can no longer retreat to the standing corn?" |
35196 | I suppose she thought I''d gone to my room, and did n''t wish to disturb me? |
35196 | I suppose the train will be starting in a few minutes?" |
35196 | I suppose you''ve heard?" |
35196 | I take it they''re sufficient for reaching either bank of this river, supposing the skiff to get capsized and you in it?" |
35196 | I think, you told me she often accompanies him down to the boat stair, at his departure?" |
35196 | I was only wondering why Miss Gwen-- that is, I am a little astonished-- but-- perhaps you''ll think it impertinent of me to ask another question?" |
35196 | If I mistake not, you can swim like a fish?" |
35196 | If I''ve been rightly informed, Miss Wynn, it belongs to a relative of yours?" |
35196 | If he has gone to the Ferry first, and sets to drinking in the Harp? |
35196 | If questioned about these commodities, what answer is he to make? |
35196 | If you do n''t expect pleasure there, for what should you be in such haste to reach it? |
35196 | In other words, was it suicide, accident, or murder? |
35196 | In what does Mrs Murdock differ from the rest of your Herefordshire fair?" |
35196 | In what way? |
35196 | Indirectly, then? |
35196 | Instead, it but adds to her bewilderment, and she once more exclaims, almost repeating herself:"Am I myself? |
35196 | Instead, with simulated calmness, he says:"Suppose I step out and see whether she be near at hand?" |
35196 | Into France, too; for surely am I there? |
35196 | Is it a dream? |
35196 | Is it a sin? |
35196 | Is it growing? |
35196 | Is it hare?" |
35196 | Is it labelled?" |
35196 | Is it possible-- so early?" |
35196 | Is it possible?" |
35196 | Is it so, my son? |
35196 | Is it to"blight his life''s bloom,"leaving him"an age all winters?" |
35196 | Is it true?" |
35196 | Is n''t that so?" |
35196 | Is that true, Gwendoline? |
35196 | Is the priest jesting? |
35196 | Is there any harm in it?" |
35196 | Is there thought of it in her heart-- for him? |
35196 | It can not be the boat she has seen rowing off above? |
35196 | It is all gone?" |
35196 | It is of him the priest speaks as king:--"Has he signed the will?" |
35196 | It is the lady who speaks first:--"I understand you''ve been but a short while resident in our neighbourhood, Captain Ryecroft?" |
35196 | It''s but natural I should love our beautiful Wye-- I, born on its banks, brought up on them, and, I suppose, likely to--""What?" |
35196 | It''s the voice of a girl? |
35196 | Jack?" |
35196 | Knaw him?" |
35196 | Less from observing his abstraction, than the slow, negligent movements of his knife and fork, the mother asks--"What''s the matter with ye, Jack? |
35196 | Let me see-- was it? |
35196 | Let me see; when will that be?" |
35196 | Madame la Chatelaine oblivious, I apprehend; in the midst of her afternoon nap?" |
35196 | May I ask what it is?" |
35196 | May I ask who is this_ she_ you''re soliloquising about? |
35196 | May I know them?" |
35196 | Maybe,"he continues in tone of confidential suggestion,"there be somebody as you think ought to get a duckin''beside myself?" |
35196 | Might_ he_ be a cousin?" |
35196 | Miss Wynn?" |
35196 | Mr Murdock''s a character, then?" |
35196 | Murdock has himself come easily by it, and why should he not be made as easily to part with it? |
35196 | Need I tell you who sent it, Richard Dempsey?" |
35196 | Nigh on the stroke o''eleven? |
35196 | No enemy, I hope?" |
35196 | Not Monsieur Shenstone, after all?" |
35196 | Not alone, I take it?" |
35196 | Not much in the manner, I should say; but altogether the contrary,"she laughs, adding--"And how do you like our Wye?" |
35196 | Not on the sick list, I hope?" |
35196 | Not receiving immediate answer, Ellen again asks--"Is there any danger you fear?" |
35196 | Not the Captain?" |
35196 | Nothing to surprise him that? |
35196 | Now, Captain, what do ye think o''the whole thing?" |
35196 | Now, Jack, whose boat could that be if it wa''nt your''n?" |
35196 | Now, Monsieur, do you comprehend me?" |
35196 | Odd succession of events, is it not?" |
35196 | Of course you''ll stay, gentlemen? |
35196 | Oh, no; I noticed nothin''o''all that, not I? |
35196 | Only with my life? |
35196 | Only, who these redemptionists are that take such interest in my spiritual welfare, and how I have come to be here, surely I may know?" |
35196 | Or am I mad? |
35196 | Or am I to wait for''em here?" |
35196 | Or have my senses indeed forsaken me?" |
35196 | Or in that face, dark and disfigured, who could recognise the once radiant countenance of Llangorren''s young heiress? |
35196 | Or is there yet a chance of reconciliation? |
35196 | Or would ye rather be took on up to the town? |
35196 | Or, is it insanity?" |
35196 | Or, stepping off, does he spurn the boat with angry heel, as in angry speech he has done her whose name it bears? |
35196 | Out at this hour?" |
35196 | Perhaps in Paris? |
35196 | Perhaps you''ll extend it, and favour me with the lady''s name? |
35196 | Perhaps, better it were so? |
35196 | Rang no bell? |
35196 | Ryecroft smiles, further interrogating:--"What have you heard of her?" |
35196 | S''pose we gie''em a capsize?" |
35196 | S''pose we slide after, and see where she hangs out?" |
35196 | Sadness, or joy? |
35196 | Saying which, she slips several shillings into his hand, adding, as she notes the effect,--"Do you think it sufficiently heavy? |
35196 | Shall I call him in?" |
35196 | Shall I run down to the boat- dock and see?" |
35196 | Shall we, Mr Musgrave?" |
35196 | She knows he has conceived some scheme to disembarrass her of a husband, she no longer care? |
35196 | She knows how Shenstone suffers-- how could she help knowing? |
35196 | She mayent like you young ladies to go rowin''by yourselves? |
35196 | She''s at home, is n''t she?" |
35196 | Should ye like take a drop o''somethin''''fores you lie down?" |
35196 | Sidling up to the girl, he asks in a tone which tells of lovers_ en rapport_, mutually, unmistakably--"When, Mary?" |
35196 | So shall I; the blackest in all the convent''s wardrobe if they wish it-- aye, crape if they insist on it? |
35196 | So, my boy, you perceive the necessity of our acting with caution in this business, whatever trouble or time it may take-- do n''t you?" |
35196 | Some business?" |
35196 | Some of your old English_ bonnes amies_, I suppose?" |
35196 | Somethin''crooked''s come between''em at the ball-- bit o''jealousy, maybe? |
35196 | Something happened between you, eh?" |
35196 | Something wrong?" |
35196 | Soon again he resumes his conjectured soliloquy:--"''Tan''t possible she ha''been to the Ferry, an''goed back again? |
35196 | Suppose I write a note requesting his presence, with explanations?" |
35196 | Suppose hers should some day go to the bottom she being in it?" |
35196 | Suppose we do?" |
35196 | Surely I''d have heard it? |
35196 | Surely it can not be? |
35196 | Surely it can not come from any of the sisters? |
35196 | Surely our oaks, elms, and poplars can not be compared with the tall palms and graceful tree ferns of the tropics?" |
35196 | Surely she has been found?" |
35196 | Surely the Captain is not going to call on Mr Lewin Murdock-- in amicable intercourse? |
35196 | Surely you arn''t goin''out again the night?" |
35196 | Surely, not a pleasure excursion, at such an unreasonable hour-- night just drawing down? |
35196 | Taking her seat, she asks:"Where''s Gwen?" |
35196 | Tell me something of its nature?" |
35196 | Tell me why I am here?" |
35196 | That appears too early for the after event? |
35196 | The balin''pan, or that bit o''cushion in the stern?" |
35196 | The boat coming back? |
35196 | The first is--"You''re not afraid of water, are you, Dick?" |
35196 | The longer before fishing the thing up, the better it will be for our purposes: you comprehend?" |
35196 | The which, my amiable Joseph, you''ll not do-- I''m sure you will not?" |
35196 | Then adding, as he observes a young man leap down from the box where he has had seat beside the driver,"Part of your belongings, is n''t he?" |
35196 | Then succeeds inquiry as to how the death has been brought about; whether it be a case of suicide or assassination? |
35196 | Then why be ye looking so black?" |
35196 | There han''t been nobody to the house-- has there?" |
35196 | They hold their_ tete- a- tete_ there at times; do they?" |
35196 | They may have ate it up?" |
35196 | They may not know where I am? |
35196 | To the first,` How?'' |
35196 | True there will be four against two; but what of it? |
35196 | True, your Wye is subject to sudden floods; might it have ought to do with them?" |
35196 | Upon what do you base them?" |
35196 | WHAT DOES HE WANT? |
35196 | Waked for two days, as I understood you; then laid in her grave? |
35196 | Was n''t it a little strange?" |
35196 | Was n''t it,_ cherie_?" |
35196 | Was the girl good looking?" |
35196 | Well, what''d I best do? |
35196 | What answer did you gie to the man?" |
35196 | What are your own thoughts about it, Jack?" |
35196 | What are your reasons for doubting it?" |
35196 | What boat could have been there but his own? |
35196 | What can I remember? |
35196 | What can he be doing down there? |
35196 | What care I?" |
35196 | What could it mean?" |
35196 | What did the sarvint say?" |
35196 | What difference whether he find the grave of his griefs in Paris or Boulogne-- if find it he can? |
35196 | What do I care?" |
35196 | What do you know of_ him_?" |
35196 | What for could have been the angry words? |
35196 | What ha''become o''they?" |
35196 | What have you done with them?" |
35196 | What have you got to reward me for it?" |
35196 | What if there be some one on the road, or the river''s bank, and be seen in the act of capsizing his own boat? |
35196 | What is it? |
35196 | What is it?" |
35196 | What is such a man doing in Herefordshire? |
35196 | What is this barometer you seem to place such confidence in? |
35196 | What is to compare with that to come? |
35196 | What makes ye think he a''been a forger?" |
35196 | What man in love, profoundly, passionately as he, could believe his last chance eliminated; or have his ultimate hope extinguished? |
35196 | What matter? |
35196 | What mean you?" |
35196 | What say you, Nell?" |
35196 | What say you, Wingate?" |
35196 | What should be my first pretence? |
35196 | What should we do to''em, Captain?" |
35196 | What sort of fellow is he?" |
35196 | What sort of place is it? |
35196 | What sort of sound?" |
35196 | What step do you wish me to take, first?" |
35196 | What then? |
35196 | What then? |
35196 | What was it, pray?" |
35196 | What will_ they_ do?--and think? |
35196 | What would ye think o''my predecessor here bein''a burglar as well as smasher?" |
35196 | What''s cheerin''him? |
35196 | What''s that? |
35196 | What''s the hour now? |
35196 | What''s your idea, Mahon?" |
35196 | What, after all, if his suspicions prove groundless, and it turn out that Captain Ryecroft is entirely innocent? |
35196 | What, in Protestant England? |
35196 | What_ has_ occurred there?" |
35196 | What_ jeu d''esprit_ has he been perpetrating?" |
35196 | When I left the Ferry he was in the Welsh Harp, as I was told, tossing sovereigns upon its bar counter,` Heads and tails, who wins?'' |
35196 | When seated at the table, the Major asks--"What on earth has delayed you, Vivian? |
35196 | When will it be over?" |
35196 | When, and where?" |
35196 | When? |
35196 | Whence all this plenty, within walls where of late and for so long, has been such scarcity? |
35196 | Where do you suppose, mother?" |
35196 | Where is he who has both to be relied upon? |
35196 | Where is the beautiful woman, by both beloved, fondly, passionately? |
35196 | Where is the man who would not feel flattered, gratified, to be the shrine of such sacrifice, and from such a worshipper? |
35196 | Where is the man who would not rather know his sweetheart dead than see her in the arms of a rival? |
35196 | Where, and how, is one to be had? |
35196 | Where?" |
35196 | Where?" |
35196 | Where?" |
35196 | Whether in the country, or in a town among houses? |
35196 | Which did she go by-- the path or the lane? |
35196 | Which is she to take? |
35196 | Which quarter is she in? |
35196 | Which way did you come, Father Rogier-- the path or the lane?" |
35196 | Whither then? |
35196 | Who Pere?" |
35196 | Who could fail to observe that pretty hand play, when you two were twining the ivy around the altar- rail? |
35196 | Who could''a carried it across the river-- that night especial, wi''a flood lippin''full up to the banks? |
35196 | Who dreams of that? |
35196 | Who else could it be? |
35196 | Who has brought me? |
35196 | Who is to do this? |
35196 | Who knows but that in a fit of drunken bravado he may stake the whole estate on a single turn of cards or cast of dice? |
35196 | Who says I do?" |
35196 | Who so circumstanced ever does? |
35196 | Who would n''t with such laws-- unrighteous-- oppressive to the poor? |
35196 | Who, then, is the owner of the brooch, bracelets, and other bijouterie? |
35196 | Who,_ Pere_? |
35196 | Who-- what is he?" |
35196 | Who?" |
35196 | Why all this? |
35196 | Why did I ever leave you?" |
35196 | Why did he not start earlier? |
35196 | Why do you wish that?" |
35196 | Why examining those things, he already knows all about, as she herself? |
35196 | Why has it stopped there? |
35196 | Why is he not here? |
35196 | Why is it staying? |
35196 | Why not, Miss Wynn?" |
35196 | Why not?" |
35196 | Why should I not dissemble? |
35196 | Why should I?" |
35196 | Why should I?" |
35196 | Why should it? |
35196 | Why should she have gone outside? |
35196 | Why should that attract the attention of the young Herefordshire squire, causing him to start, as it first catches his eye? |
35196 | Why, may I ask? |
35196 | Why? |
35196 | Will ye let me wake her up? |
35196 | Will your Reverence enlighten me?" |
35196 | Within a mile of their own home, and still within the boundary of the Llangorren land, how could they think of danger such as is threatening? |
35196 | Wonder why she did n''t wake me up? |
35196 | Would n''t be a tourist party-- starting off so early? |
35196 | Would you desire that?" |
35196 | Wyquoft-- Wyquoft, you say?" |
35196 | Ye remember my tellin''you, mother?" |
35196 | Ye see what comes o''sich as they humbuggin''about in a boat?" |
35196 | Ye understand me, mother?" |
35196 | Ye''ll let me row you up the river-- leastways for a couple o''miles further? |
35196 | Ye''ll remember the night we come up from the ball, my tellin''ye I had an engagement the next day to take the young Powells down the river?" |
35196 | Yet, would you believe it, Nelly, notwithstanding all, I sometimes have a strange fear upon me?" |
35196 | You comprehend?" |
35196 | You comprehend?" |
35196 | You do n''t expect the Father, our only visitor, to- night? |
35196 | You have it in the house, I hope?" |
35196 | You have learnt something since?" |
35196 | You know his name?" |
35196 | You know the place-- you know the ring too?" |
35196 | You mean Captain Ryecroft?" |
35196 | You really admire it?" |
35196 | You remember my sayin''so, Captain; and that I took it to be some o''the sarvint girls shoutin''up there?" |
35196 | You see that big poplar standing on the bank there?" |
35196 | You see that building below?" |
35196 | You see that?" |
35196 | You will, wo n''t you?" |
35196 | You''ll stand by me, Mahon?" |
35196 | You''ll stay to dinner with us, Father Rogier?" |
35196 | You''ll stay? |
35196 | You''re her maid-- you undressed her?" |
35196 | _ Comprenez- vous, cherie_?" |
35196 | an''t he, Jack?" |
35196 | are you sure of that, Father Rogier?" |
35196 | cry both gentlemen in a breath, seeming alike vexed by the intelligence, Shenstone mechanically interrogating:"On the river?" |
35196 | ejaculated the Major, struck by the words, and their despondent tone,"what''s this, old fellow? |
35196 | groans the young girl in despair, flinging herself along the pallet, and for the third time interrogating,"am I myself, and dreaming? |
35196 | he repeats with a look of blank astonishment--"What the deuce does it mean?" |
35196 | he says, going on in conjectural chain;"and that French priest-- he probably the instigator of it? |
35196 | possibly had a hand in the deed itself? |
35196 | she asks, soon as he has mounted up to her,"_ Quelque chose a tort_?" |
35196 | she exclaims involuntarily, adding, in a timid whisper,"Was it, Gregoire?" |
35196 | she exclaims, as if pricked by a pin,"Mademoiselle to be married?" |
35196 | she exclaims, in feigned astonishment,"ye beant a comin''from the Ferry that way?" |
35196 | she exclaims,"what are we to do? |
35196 | the Morgans?" |
35196 | this time you_ have_ an errand? |
35196 | vite- vite_?" |
35196 | what d''ye mean?" |
35196 | what do it mean?" |
35196 | what is to become of me? |
35196 | what shall we do?" |
35196 | what way?" |
35196 | what''s going on at Llangorren?" |
35196 | where am I to find this means?" |
35196 | where?" |
35196 | who can tell? |
35196 | why did I not know it before?" |
35196 | would n''t you like to be sellin''her a pair of kids-- Jouvin''s best-- helpin''her draw them on, eh?" |
35196 | yonder''s a very different sort of pedestrian approaching it? |
35196 | you know it?" |
35196 | you''ll break your journey here, and stay a few days with me? |
