63709How could I know?
63709How?
63709I turned everything over in my mind, then tried to say calmly:"Why?
63709Into what?
63709Or had I been deluded by the lies of a fanatic?
63709Or is that, by chance, what you intend?"

61380What is it?
61380What took you so long?
61380Where are you? 61380 You''re sure?"

61380And-- is it a different species?
61380Another trophy, like the strange assortment in the other room?
61380Any progress?"
61380But another thought was in Hatcher''s mind: Suppose the Old Ones found them too?
61380But did he have any reason to believe that he would be better off somewhere else?
61380But surely he was on a planet.... Was n''t he?

61380Meanwhile, what about his fellow- captive?
61380Or merely a different sex?"
61380They do n''t look like much, do they?"
61380Three?
61380Two hours ago?
61380We ca n''t quite communicate with the female--""But?"

62416He? 62416 Hear them?
62416How can you do that? 62416 How close do I have to get?"
62416I guess it''s strange to you, not being able to buy everything with your money, is n''t it?
62416Is that thing easy to operate?
62416Of what good could that be to me?
62416Purple radiance?
62416See him?
62416That was the last report made public, was n''t it?
62416That''s the entrance to the Cavern of Machines?
62416That? 62416 The Great Mind will see us soon?"
62416Then, how is crime coming? 62416 Think I''m too old to help you young fellows now?"
62416This underdress-- not too becoming, is it?
62416Viv-- where are we? 62416 Well this time, anyway, I had a good motive, did n''t I?"
62416What do you make of that? 62416 What do you mean?"
62416What is that, Ratan?

62416You want to learn everything we know?
62416You''re all right now, Bob? 62416 A man? 62416 And then-- do you not see something unusual in me?
62416And why do you want to learn it?
62416Are there liable to be more of them around?"
62416Blaine-- where are you?"
62416Bob, where are you?
62416But if, perhaps, the Great Mind should suddenly die?
62416But then, if it once occurs to you that they might be connected--""What other things?"
62416Ca n''t you speak?"
62416Could it be a solid body as big as five hundred miles in diameter?
62416Could they find food and drink?
62416Food?"
62416For what?
62416Had Ratan''s roar of startled anger aroused any guards out in the corridor?
62416How does it work?"
62416Many people missing lately?"
62416Maybe that''s water?
62416Or did he sense us in some other way?
62416Or had the Radaks killed him by now?
62416Or should they try to get back underground?
62416Or would he be recovered by now?"
62416Out which exit they went?
62416Solid enough to be the cause, by its proximity, of the Earth''s axial and orbital disturbances?
62416Suppose we do n''t want to teach you?
62416Tell us-- what''s happened to all of us?"
62416That means only the Great Mind, or Ratan will be down there in the Cavern?"
62416That''s good sense, is n''t it?"
62416The horror of things not yet seen... things lurking--"Oh Pete, what can we do?"
62416Then what?"
62416To have the murderous Radaks fall upon them and kill them?
62416Vivian-- are you here?"
62416Wander here, until some ghastly monster engulfed them?
62416Was he gaining this fellow''s confidence?
62416Was it water?
62416Was this Crimson Comet hurling a lethal radiance at us, attacking the Earth?
62416What I want to know is-- do you realize who and what I am, on Earth?"
62416What are they saying?
62416What are your plans?
62416What happened?"
62416When can you arrive?"
62416Where is this Cavern of Machines?"
62416Why?
62416Would it be an hour, or a day?
62416You know where the Earth- people would probably be now?
62416You realize it?"
12315Am I a smith?
12315And art thou not fair Maid of Judah,said the affectionate genius,"worth to me all the broad lands of my fathers?
12315And the child with you,said Salmon,"did you take the child?"
12315And who are you?
12315And who must I tell him that you are?
12315And who? 12315 And why not go on to the knoll?"
12315And why not? 12315 And why?
12315Are you a smith?
12315Are you the daughter of this gentleman?
12315But what have you done?
12315Contented, my mother,said Tamar, bursting into tears,"could I be contented if taken from you?"
12315Did you never hear of no other use for a horse- shoe, besides protecting a horse''s hoof?
12315Do you mind me?
12315Does my father live?
12315For the love of prince Charles,he said,"can you give us any provender, Mrs. Margaret?
12315Has he ever lost a daughter?
12315He will,replied Tamar;"but tell me, only tell me, what is that mark burnt upon my shoulder?"
12315Hold your tongue, you old fool,said Jacob,"what do you know of her, and of him who was once Laird of Dymock?
12315How is that?
12315I have told you,said the Laird,"that if you tell every thing you shall be free,--do you question my truth?"
12315I would see your master, where is he?
12315Lately?
12315Little Miss,said Mr. Dymock,"what little Miss?
12315Oh, 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?
12315The Laird did you say,asked Salmon,"your father; he is your father damsel is he not?"
12315The thieves?
12315Then why do you come to me like her?
12315Then you do not think of putting her in a foundling hospital or a workhouse, nephew, as you proposed last night?
12315True,returned Shanty,"your worship is right; but how are we to go?
12315We shall see by and bye,said Dymock,"the question is, what is to be done now?
12315Well Sir, and have you not these articles in possession?
12315Well,said the young man, looking about him,"have you never a cast shoe?"
12315Well,said the young man,"if you will not make me one, will you let me make one for myself?"
12315What are you doing,--what do you propose to do, Tamar?
12315What for?
12315What have I to give her?
12315Whither away? 12315 Who do you take me for?"
12315Who 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?
12315Why are you here, my daughter?
12315Why do you fill the young girl''s mind, Dymock,said he,"with such fancies as you do?
12315Why do you stand?
12315You, you,said Salmon,"you are his daughter?"
12315Are you grateful?"
12315Art 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?"
12315But now her back is turned to you, Dymock, observe the singular mark on her shoulder, and tell me what it is?"
12315Can you not trust her?
12315Can you suspect a creature who looks like your wife, like Rachel?
12315Could they purchase for me such love as thine?
12315Do not the scatterings of the flock, aunt Margaret, make us as warm hose as the prime of the fleece?"
12315Do you understand me, Tamar?
12315For,"as he would add,"does a man want righteousness?
12315Gipsy, or Jew?
12315He stood a moment and she called to him; her words were these,--"Have you sped?"
12315Is not her tale well framed; and are you, or are you not deceived by her fair seemings?
12315My father, if I have a living father, I owe him a duty,--where is he?
12315See you not the fair guise in which she comes?
12315She patted her head, saying"My poor Sappho, what have you seen in that dark place?
12315Tell me where he is, for the love of heaven tell me?"
12315Tell me, tell me damsel, what I can do?
12315What can I do with it?"
12315What is a Jew more than another man?
12315What may that be which you are now shaping; why may it not serve my turn as well as another?
12315Where are your keys?
12315Where is Jacob?
12315Who is afraid?
12315Why do you ask me?"
12315With 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?
12315With great effort she repeated,--"Does my father live?"
12315and whence come you?"
12315and 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?"
12315and who?"
12315asked 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?"
12315asked Tamar,"have they been seen and heard lately?"
12315did I not tell him that he was feeding your poor mind with follies; tell me, how should this poor girl be like your wife?"
12315has the black fog shut out all the bright visions which the foolish Laird created in your fancy?
12315may 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?"
12315old gentleman, and might one ask where this estate of yours may be?"
12315or are you a terrible vision of my fancy?
12315returned the blacksmith,"and where''s your horse?"
12315said I,"continued the vagrant,"why, said I, should I not do for this service as well as another?
12315said Mr. Dymock:"Why, what have you done to her?"
12315said Salmon, his teeth actually chattering"who are you?
12315said Tamar weeping,"why are you sorry for me, can not I go with you?
12315said the old lady,"and give up our parlour?"
12315said the old lady,"is it so?
12315said the old lady,"what is come to her?"
12315said the poor girl, gasping for breath,"is my father a convicted felon?"
12315she added, stamping her little foot with impatience;"why do you not obey me?"
12315she said,"are you disappointed?--is the blight come over you?
12315tell me, what is it?"
12315there is the treasure full and brimming over; does he want rest and peace?
12315there it is laid for him in Christ; does he want merit?
12315they are also provided for him; does he want faith?
12315what will become of her?"
12315who have you got there?"
12315you 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?
4774A marriage, mine host?
4774Alas, good knights, how might the matter be?
4774Alas, sir, think you I shall ere be his?
4774Alas, sweet Love, what shall become of me?
4774Alas, what shall we do?
4774Alas, where lies your grief?
4774Am I bald?
4774And com''st to tell me now, thou lik''st it not?
4774And come we back unto our native home, For want of skill to lose the wench thou lov''st?
4774And did not I direct him to the house, And confer with him by the way?
4774And do you serve the good duke of Norfolk still?
4774And how say ye, boys, If I be chose the weekly visitor?
4774And what of this?
4774Brian, how hapd''st thou on her?
4774Brother and friend, alas, what shall we do?
4774But do you yet repent you of the same?
4774But how shall we prevent this dangerous match?
4774But how, Mountchensey?
4774But to our former motion about stealing some venison; whither go we?
4774But where be they?
4774But where is Smug?
4774But whither, Raymond?
4774But you will to this geere in hugger- mugger; Art thou turned miser, Rascall, in thy loves?
4774But, Sirra Raymond, What news of Peter Fabell at the house?
4774But, noble Clare, this while of our discourse, What may Mounchensey''s honour to thy self Exact upon the measure of thy grace?
4774By the body of S. George, I have an excellent intellect to go steal some venison: now, when wast thou in the forest?
4774By what means camst thou to assume this shape?
4774By your order and your faith?
4774Cannot?--What ails your hollownes?
4774Come, Fabell, hast thou done?
4774Come, art thou ready?
4774Come, come, how does she, noble Capouchin?
4774Comes he not yet?

4774Continue there?
4774Coreb, is it thou?
4774D''yee see yon bay window?
4774Darst thou deride the minister of darkness?
4774Did not I direct you to the house?
4774Did 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?
4774Did not you tell us still how Peter Fabell At length would cross us, if we took not heed?
4774Did we not last night find two S. Georges here?
4774Did you not see a spirit all in white cross you at the stile?
4774Did you see Banks or Smug?
4774Didst 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?
4774Do I bend in the hams?
4774Dost thou mock me?
4774Exceeding well; but is it your intent She shall continue there?
4774Father, how now?
4774For mortalities sake, What''s the matter?
4774Go?
4774Ha, ha, Why dost thou wake me?
4774Ha, ha, sir Raph, stirring so soon indeed?
4774Hah, what is thy due?
4774Have Friars recourse then to the house of Nuns?
4774Have I so many melancholy nights Watch''d on the top of Peter- house highest Tower?
4774Have we Comedies in hand, you whoreson, villanous male London Letcher?
4774Holy man, what wouldst thou have?
4774How dost like my plot?
4774How doth my Lady?

4774How?
4774How?
4774I am a maid, sir; who?
4774I can not dissemble: did I ought but by thy own consent?
4774I 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?
4774If I feel any thing in my forehead, I am a villain: do I wear a night- cap?
4774If I understand thee, I am a villain: What, dost thou speak in parables to thy friends?
4774If we be scard in the forest, we''ll meet in the Church- porch at Enfield; ist Correspondent?
4774Is any man here humorous?
4774Is not this the George?
4774Is that the order?
4774Is this a time for such as you, Men of your place and of your gravity, To be abroad a thieving?
4774Is''t even so?
4774Is''t even so?
4774Ist certain?
4774Ist not true?

4774Miller, doth the match hold?
4774Milliscent, how dost thou?

4774Why comst thou in this stern and horrid shape, Not in familiar sort, as thou wast wo nt?
4774Why, how now, mad- cap?
4774Why, knave, didst thou not tell me an hour ago, mine host was up?
4774Why, who''s thy Master?
4774Will the Church permit A nun in approbation of her habit To be ravished?
4774You can not grieve more then I do, but to what end?
4774You do, sir?
4774You knave, is a up, and is a not up?
4774You, sir, twas you was his minister that married them?
4774You?
4774Young Benedic, were you ere sent by me To Chesson Nunnery for a visitor?
4774Young Master Jerningham, were you an actor In your own love''s abuse?
4774and art thou in breath still, boy?
4774and did he not Tell me what charge he had received from you, Word by word, as I requested at your hands?
4774and how?
4774and how?
4774are my legs too little for my hose?
4774are you not weary, Madam?
4774by thy allowance?
4774doost thou ask me that now?
4774ha, who''s there?
4774how camst thou into this ill name?
4774how, lad, for the wench?
4774is it even so?
4774is not the Master of the house thy Master?
4774let me look upon thee, Rogue; who has given out this of thee?
4774lie in Waltham all night, and not under the Canopy of your host Blague''s house?
4774married?
4774must they ever run round?
4774nay, further, by thy warrant?
4774or to what?
4774the clock strikes at Enfield; what''s the hour?
4774what make you here alone?
4774where''s mine host Blague?
4774where''s my dear Mounchensey?
4774who are you?
4774who''s there?
4774z''blood, what should all you see in me, that I should look like a married man, ha?
11556A madman, sir? 11556 A submarine boat?"
11556All right, Spade?
11556And Thomas Roch?
11556And has Thomas Roch also sold you the secret of his deflagrator?
11556And who are the persons who have thus disappeared from Healthful House?
11556At what depth are we now?
11556Both of them?
11556But are you not afraid he may give his secret away?
11556But 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?
11556But what about our expeditions at sea?
11556But 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?"
11556By the entrance gate?
11556By what right, sir?
11556Could n''t he at least pay some attention to us?
11556Could n''t you, Gaydon, get him to talk about his fulgurator?
11556Do these fits to which Thomas Roch is subject last long?
11556Does n''t anybody know about it up at Healthful House? 11556 Gaydon,"demanded the director,"where is Thomas Roch?"
11556Has Back Cup been attacked?
11556Has Thomas Roch,I ask,"made you acquainted with the composition of his explosive?"
11556Has it no bolts?
11556Has the schooner excited suspicion, and been chased to the entrance to the passes? 11556 Have you no idea as to their nationality?"
11556Healthful 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?"
11556How much will you give me for it-- how much?
11556How much-- how much?
11556I 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?"
11556I understand from your remark that I shall be furnished with the means of returning to America when I want to go?
11556Is anybody about?
11556Is he then absolutely mad?
11556Is her voyage one of business or pleasure?
11556Is it possible?
11556Ker Karraje is not here, then?
11556Kidnap us?
11556May I ask,I continue,"how you came to find out that Gaydon, the warder, was Simon Hart, the engineer?"
11556My deflagrator?
11556My invention?
11556My opinion, Mr. Serko? 11556 My work?"
11556Notwithstanding Thomas Roch''s mental condition?
11556Of what use are these millions to him if he is not allowed to enjoy them outside?
11556Of what use could it be to us, Serko?
11556One word, Lieutenant Davon, how did you penetrate to the interior of Back Cup?
11556Shall I be permitted to roam about wherever I please?
11556Shall I weigh anchor?
11556The tug?
11556Thomas Roch, would you dare to fire upon your country''s flag-- the tricolor flag?
11556Thomas Roch?
11556Through the wall of the cavern?
11556Vengeance?--against whom?
11556Well, Mr. Simon Hart,he says,"are you getting accustomed to your tranquil existence?
11556Well, and what then?
11556What I think about it? 11556 What chord?"
11556What do you want to say to me, Simon Hart?
11556What has that to do with us?
11556What is her name?
11556What is his nationality?
11556What is that?
11556What is the use when no one is near to hear you?
11556What is to be done?
11556What is your opinion about it?
11556What is your opinion?
11556What others?
11556What then? 11556 When one is caught in a trap----""One can cry out, I suppose?"
11556Where is the captain?
11556Where is the_ Sword_, Lieutenant?
11556Where?
11556Who are you, then?
11556Who was it then, may I ask?
11556Why so?
11556Why, 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?
11556Why?
11556Will she be gone long?
11556Yes, 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?"
11556You are perfectly sure about it?
11556You claim that three men threw themselves upon you?
11556You know who I am?
11556You refer to Thomas Roch, I presume, Count?
11556You, of course, sir, have no intention of refusing me permission to go over your schooner?
11556You?
1155617 was situated, he said:"You managed, I presume, to thoroughly explore the place, and are acquainted with every detail of it?"
11556A Spaniard?
11556A volcano in these parts?
11556Already thinking of leaving us, Mr. Gaydon,--of returning to your dismal pavilion at Healthful House?
11556Am I in condition to reply to the questions that Engineer Serko is dying to put to me?
11556Am I not imprisoned in the hold of a ship under way?
11556Am 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?
11556Am I not meant to understand from this that I must give up all hope of ever recovering my liberty?
11556Am I the dupe of an illusion?
11556And Thomas Roch, what has become of him?
11556And might not this bottle by chance-- an ultra- providential chance, I must avow-- be picked up by a ship passing near Back Cup?
11556And now, Mr. Hart, where is Ker Karraje''s tug?"
11556And that Count d''Artigas, with his Spanish name and Asiatic type, where does he come from?
11556And then what does he care whether the brigand''s name is Count''d''Artigas or Ker Karraje?
11556And then, why does the_ Ebba_ have recourse to this submarine towing system?
11556And was it reasonable, was it permissible, to suppose for an instant that he had been carried off for the benefit of a private individual?
11556And who knows but what one day, he will try the experiment?
11556And who knows but what, in my new position, I may finally discover the secret of Roth''s fulgurator?
11556And why should I not succeed now that Ker Karraje, Engineer Serko, Captain Spade, and the pirates have taken their posts outside?
11556And yet, without the intervention of Providence, what hope is there for me?
11556And, in the first place, am I alone?
11556Are the crew engaged in loading or unloading merchandise?
11556Are they going to drop me overboard to drown like a rat, so as to get rid of a dangerous witness?
11556Are they going to let me out at last?
11556Are they going to put me back in my dark prison at the bottom of the hold?
11556Are they safe and sound like us-- for I suppose that Thomas Roch has also survived?
11556Are we not going to leave this island, which appears to be isolated, to the west?
11556Are you not Simon Hart?"
11556Are you not more closely confined within the walls of this cavern than you ever were at Healthful House?"
11556Besides, how could the vessel have reached the open sea?
11556Besides, what am I to the men who have carried us off?
11556But after all, what does it matter?
11556But does the compartment in which I am confined, really belong to a ship?
11556But has this inventor entirely lost the use of his intellectual faculties?"
11556But how can she escape them since they will swoop back upon her?
11556But if the door was locked, how were they going to get in?
11556But if they have not condemned me to die of thirst, neither have they condemned me to die of hunger, I suppose?
11556But of what use is this knowledge to me?
11556But what I should like to know is, has he acted as the agent of a foreign power, or on his own account?
11556But what about the sailing ship that was to port of us?
11556But what is it?
11556But what is this-- and how on earth could I have failed to notice it before?
11556But what were those reasons?
11556But where is Thomas Roch?
11556But where is it generated?
11556But whither are my thoughts wandering?
11556But who is this Count d''Artigas?
11556But who were the kidnappers?
11556But why do they submit to such an existence?
11556But why should Thomas Roch be landed again?
11556But will the vessels sighted continue on their course in this direction?
11556But with what object?
11556CHAPTER V. WHERE AM I?
11556Can I hesitate at a murder that will bring about the chastisement of so many crimes?
11556Can he be in the throes of a fresh paroxysm?
11556Can there be room for doubt that it was Thomas Roch?
11556Come now, have I made a mistake?
11556Continuing my walk I perceive on the northern side of the lagoon the habitations of this colony of troglodytes-- do they not merit the appellation?
11556Could any circumstance occur to counteract it-- to"exteriorize"him, as it were?
11556Could any plausible hypothesis be deducted from the type presented by Count d''Artigas?
11556Days?
11556Did she then not make straight for the American coast?
11556Did they realize that I was trying to discover by what means the schooner was propelled?
11556Did those brave Englishmen perish in the collision?
11556Do they never leave their rocky retreat?
11556Do you appreciate at their just merit the advantages of this enchanted grotto?
11556Do you imagine you are free, Thomas Roch?
11556Do you know what were their intentions in entering the cavern?"
11556Do you know where Thomas Roch is?"
11556Do you, may I ask, refer to the Frenchman, Thomas Roch?"
11556Does he imagine that Warder Gaydon ever heard of Trophonius?
11556Does he insist upon preparing the explosive in secret and does he intend to keep the formula thereof to himself?
11556Does he perceive the change in his situation?
11556Does he realize the inanity of the hypothesis I try to pass off on him?
11556Does he scour the seas with him, sharing the enviable life enjoyed by the rich yachtsman?
11556Does he think I know more than I will say?
11556Does 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?
11556Does he wish to profit alone by Thomas Roch''s invention, and is he in the position to dispose of it profitably?
11556Does it really possess the destructive power that the inventor attributes to it?
11556Frenchman, would you be so criminal as to strike it?"
11556Gaydon, it is you, is it?"
11556Gaydon?"
11556Had he abandoned the Pacific for other seas?
11556Had it been voluntarily caused by the pirates when they realized that escape was impossible?
11556Had this enigmatical personage then come solely for the purpose of visiting Healthful House?
11556Hart?"
11556Has anybody been in here?
11556Has he already forgotten about Healthful House, the pavilion in which he was a prisoner, and Gaydon, his keeper?
11556Has he any idea of the value of money?
11556Has he been banished, is he an outcast of society that he should have selected this place above all others?
11556Has he been killed by one of the projectiles?
11556Has he not obtained what he has so long sought for?
11556Has it ever been tried?
11556Has she been delayed by a buccaneering cruise in the neighborhood of Back Cup?
11556Has she reached her destination?
11556Has the door been opened?
11556Have Americans, English, French, Germans, and Russians reason to fear that an attack in force against the island would be doomed to failure?"
11556Have boats come alongside?
11556Have the English, desirous of avenging the destruction of the_ Sword_, alone undertaken the expedition?
11556Have they missed it?
11556Have they set out on a piracy expedition?
11556Have you given up all hope of recovering your liberty some day or other?"
11556He raises his head, shakes it nervously, and with a disdainful gesture:"What do you mean by''your country?''
11556He stops, with laughing eyes and mocking mouth, and accompanies a"Good day, how do you do?"
11556How comes it that he knew that a French engineer was performing the duties of attendant to Thomas Roch?
11556How could a frail craft like the_ Sword_ defend itself against the attacks of Ker Karraje''s powerful machine?
11556How could he get all this money except from Ker Karraje, and as the price of his secret?
11556How did this man manage to find out what I was able to keep from the staff of Healthful House?
11556How do I know that I am afloat on the Neuse, though I was conveyed a short distance in a boat?
11556How have I survived it?
11556How is it that Pamlico Sound is so extraordinarily calm?
11556How is it that my heart is not broken?
11556How is this schooner moving?
11556How long have I been asleep?
11556How much longer will this incarceration last?
11556How was it then that he manifested such extraordinary unconcern?
11556How will this adventure end?
11556I am anxious for the passage to be made, for who knows but what it may be the way to freedom for me?
11556I continually revert to this question, hoping that some incident will occur to enlighten me: Where am I?
11556I question whether there is any other issue than the tunnel, and how on earth could I get through that?
11556I walk up to one of the sailors and inquire:"What is the name of this ship?"
11556I, however, go on:"Thomas Roch, do you remember Healthful House?"
11556If he has seized Thomas Roch, is it not because he is determined to secure the secret of the fulgurator at no matter what cost?
11556If, as I suspect, this name of d''Artigas and this title of Count are assumed, what motive has he for hiding his identity?
11556In the latter place the cisterns have to supply the needs of over ten thousand people, this one of a hundred-- what?
11556In the present state of his mind may he not be induced to disclose the composition of his fulgurator?
11556In this case is it not possible that I was carried into the cellar of a house?
11556In this event, how would you be able to provision the island?"
11556Instead of crossing Pamlico Sound, may we not be going in the opposite direction, up the River Neuse?
11556Is he a personal friend of the Count d''Artigas?
11556Is 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?
11556Is he not at last able to carry out the plans he formed years and years ago?
11556Is he not on board?
11556Is he not the owner of these riches accumulated by twenty years of murder and rapine?
11556Is it a big whale rising for air, and is the_ Ebba_ in danger of being shattered by a blow from the monster''s tail?
11556Is it day?
11556Is it known that Thomas Roch and his keeper are confined in Back Cup?
11556Is it known that the abduction was effected in the interest of Ker Karraje?
11556Is it night?
11556Is it not folly to think of such a thing?
11556Is it so?
11556Is it the state of the sea that delays another campaign against Back Cup?
11556Is not he, Thomas Roch, master of Back Cup?
11556Is she a steam- yacht?
11556Is 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?
11556Is the danger over?
11556Is the island being bombarded with a view to its destruction?
11556Is the_ Ebba_ now free to proceed?"
11556Is there a manufactory installed somewhere or other in this vast crypt, with machinery, dynamos and accumulators?
11556Is there then a creek in the middle of the rocks where the vessel is secure from the breakers?
11556Is this the port to which she belongs?
11556Just who was this Count d''Artigas?
11556Looking him straight in the face, I reply:"You know who I am, Thomas Roch, but do you know in whose place you are?"
11556Mansion?
11556May not cruisers of other nations be with them?
11556May they not be merely passing on their way to Bermuda?
11556May you not have purchased a composition as inert as a pinch of snuff?"
11556Might not the discovery of the new engine be lost to America forever?
11556Might 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?
11556Might not the most serious consequences follow?
11556Months?
11556Once we are out at sea, what will they have to fear from me?
11556Or perhaps the Count had been inspired by curiosity to meet Thomas Roch?
11556Otherwise why should he have come to such a place?
11556Serko?"
11556Shall I be left here in this way till morning?
11556Shall I ever be able to escape from Back Cup, denounce the false Count d''Artigas and rid the seas of Ker Karraje''s pirates?
11556Shall I ever be able to get even with him?
11556Shall I ever be afforded another chance?
11556Sheer folly, and yet what other way is there of getting out of Back Cup?
11556Sleep, when I am near the end of a situation that threatened to be prolonged for years and years?
11556Sleep, when my brain is in a whirl of excitement?
11556Then, abruptly, I go on:"If I am not mistaken, you have succeeded in inducing Thomas Roch to disclose the secret of his fulgurator?"
11556Then, what kind of a machine is it that imparts such a marvellous speed to the vessel?
11556They passed lines around the hull of the_ Sword_----""The_ Sword_?"
11556To what nation do they belong?
11556Trophonius after Pluto and Neptune?
11556Twenty minutes later the dinghy returns with the four men towards the tug which was evidently waiting for them before proceeding-- where?
11556Very true, but what if, instead of a bottle a diminutive, tightly closed keg were used?
11556Was I passed through a porthole?
11556Was anybody coming to my cell?
11556Was it Count d''Artigas''intention to wait there till daybreak brought a breeze with it?
11556Was it not dangerous to stay where they were after their daring raid?
11556Was it not the door by which I was going to escape from my prison?
11556Was not liberty awaiting me on the other side?
11556Was she, then, specially privileged, and to be spared the bother of being searched?
11556Was the Count d''Artigas considered too high and mighty a personage to be thus molested, and delayed even for an hour?
11556Was the air renewed while I slept?
11556We shall end by getting Roch''s thunderbolts entirely in our own hand, and then----""Are you sure, Serko?"
11556Were Thomas Roch and Gaydon so safely hidden that their hiding- place could not possibly be discovered?
11556Were these moral means applicable to the case of Thomas Roch?
11556What 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?
11556What can I reply to such insensate assertions?
11556What can this compensation be?
11556What could have inspired that Count d''Artigas with the unfortunate curiosity to visit Healthful House?
11556What could he have procured with his piastres and bank- notes in the small markets of New- Berne?
11556What did it all mean?
11556What has been his past?
11556What has happened since the sudden aggression of which I was the victim near the pavilion?
11556What if that bottle contained a letter?
11556What if the madman cries out-- what if he should resist-- what if his keeper gives the alarm?"
11556What is the use of waxing wroth with this jester?
11556What is this?
11556What is to prevent me from knocking his brains out?
11556What was the cause of the explosion?
11556What were they going to do with me?
11556What will the end be as far as I am personally concerned?
11556What would they go further inland for?
11556When Ker Karraje orders the latter to launch his engines against the ships will he remember what I told him?
11556Where am I?
11556Where am I?
11556Where does he hail from?
11556Where does it come from?
11556Where had the band hidden themselves since they had ceased their depredations?
11556Where?
11556Where?
11556Where?
11556Who are they?
11556Who 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?
11556Who in Bermuda imagines that a vessel is accustomed to lay up in this secret creek?
11556Who knows but what I may receive more consideration than if I remain Warder Gaydon?
11556Who knows what the future has in store for me?
11556Who were they?"
11556Why am I not permitted to cast one glance over the ocean towards the distant horizon of the Bermudas?
11556Why had they thus abandoned the islet with the intention, as it pretty soon appeared, of never returning to it?
11556Why has he severed himself from the world?
11556Why has she stopped?
11556Why is she not provided with her own means of propulsion, like other pleasure- boats?
11556Why should I not attempt it, since no hope of being restored to liberty is held out to me?
11556Why should he not have recovered his reason?
11556Why should this warship cause a pleasure- yacht to turn out of its way?
11556Why was Thomas Roch abducted from Healthful House in the manner already fully described?
11556Why, therefore, should they have desired to kidnap a mere hospital attendant?
11556Will he be able to resist the temptation if they offer him the exorbitant price that he demands?
11556Will he refuse to obey?
11556Will he succeed better than I did?
11556Will not his crime appear to him in all its horror?
11556Would it not be better to end in this way than to spend years and years amid these infernal and infamous surroundings?
11556Would this pirate break out in a fresh place?
11556Yes, why not dignify it with the title since this habitation has been arranged with a certain art?
11556You remember me, of course?"
11556why can I not go and breathe, if only for a single instant, the vivifying air outside?
50372A gap, Don Christoval?
50372All goes well with the schooner, I hope, Captain Portlack?
50372And come you and dine with us this evening, Mr. Portlack, will you?
50372And how long is the job going to take us, I wonder?
50372And now what is to be done?
50372And now, Miss Noble,said I,"I hope I have made you understand how it happens that I am here?"
50372And pray, how is Miss Noble, sir?
50372And what has happened to me since I have been here?
50372And you put Mariana and me and my effects on board the first passing ship that will receive us?
50372Anybody wounded?
50372Are all returned, saving the captain?
50372Are ye able to stand?
50372Are you a Roman Catholic?
50372Are you hurt?
50372Are you ready?
50372Are you sure of that?
50372Are you the master?
50372At dawn shall we be out of sight of the coast?
50372At what hour, sir,I asked,"do you wish to land?"
50372Ay, but what besides Tom?
50372Ay,said he, with a knowing look entering his eyes,"but suppose the father had obliged the lady to take her wedding ring off?
50372But first of all,said Captain Dopping,"who''s keeping a look- out yonder?
50372But is there no one to help you to keep a look- out?
50372But suppose that she is sailing to Australia or to India?
50372But then-- but then?
50372But what are you to find out by listening?
50372But what does it signify?
50372But what is to become of my schooner when you have her in England?
50372But where else?
50372Did he say_ steal_?
50372Did her father, Captain Noble, say anything during the time you were guarding him-- while you, or whoever else it was, stood watch over him?
50372Did the Spaniards mount the stairs alone?
50372Did you get it?
50372Did you never fear that Don Christoval would one day or night attempt to carry you off?
50372Did you see Don Christoval stabbed?
50372Did you tell me you were taking me home?
50372Do n''t Don Christoval and his friend mean to come?
50372Do not you know where you are, Miss Noble?
50372Do you assent, Señor, do you assent?
50372Do you know Deal?
50372Do you know navigation?
50372Do you speak English, Tom?
50372Do you want to be the next victim?
50372Does she eat and drink?
50372Does the schooner make good way?
50372Does''ee understand?
50372Don Christoval wants to know if you smoke?
50372England-- home?
50372For what?
50372From Cadiz, d''ye say?--to where?
50372Had he any property in Cuba?
50372Has all been still within?
50372Has consciousness returned to her?
50372Have I not a lien upon her?
50372Have you any religion?
50372Have you heard the lady speaking-- have you heard her voice?
50372Have you seen her?
50372Have you the pawn- ticket for the watch and chain?
50372Have you the things upon you?
50372Here,said he,"what about my money?"
50372How close do you mean to sail, Capitan?
50372How come you to be at sea with no more crew than one little nigger?
50372How did she come by the knife?
50372How did you meet him?
50372How do you feel now?
50372How do you feel?
50372How do you find her in looks after her terrible experience?
50372How do you know she is an American?
50372How does the poor lady do, sir?
50372How does the weather promise?
50372How far d''ye reckon the coast of Cadiz to be distant, sir?
50372How far off is the land?
50372How is madame?
50372How is she watched at night, do you know?
50372How is the schooner to be steered?
50372How long have you been in this plight?
50372How long is it now, Mr. Portlack, since I was stolen from my father''s house?
50372How long to Cuba?
50372How many go to your crew?
50372How many of the likes of them chaps in the boat over the side down there would be needed for such a job as that?
50372How old are you?
50372How shall I address her?
50372How?--terminates?
50372I am now in command here, as I suppose you know?
50372I hope they did not burn the house down?
50372I hope,said the man Andrew Trapp,"that it ai n''t going to come to our using these here tools?"
50372I trust Miss Noble has told you,said I,"how it happens that I was on board this vessel on the night of her abduction?"
50372In what?
50372Is Butler forward there?
50372Is Don Christoval still resolved to go to Cuba?
50372Is he dead, sir?
50372Is it a fine house?
50372Is it true, massa?
50372Is she sleeping?
50372Is she watched?
50372Is the lady still singing?
50372Is your lady dead?
50372It is a position of trust; it is a position of distinction on board ship?
50372Mr. Portlack, tell me, have I been out of my mind?
50372No extra pay goes to the job, I suppose?
50372Now, 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?"
50372Pray, Miss Noble, tell me how you feel?
50372Pray, how much do you want?
50372Pray,said I,"what is wrong with you that you asked us to send a boat?"
50372Seems the other way about, do n''t it?
50372Shall you persist in sailing to Cuba, sir?
50372Short of men, hey?
50372Should she show no signs of mending, shall you persevere in this voyage to Cuba, sir?
50372Sing?
50372Stop, mister,he cried,"how might_ you_ be rated aboard your ship?"
50372Supposing it as you say, sir,he inquired,"what''ud be the consequences of the job to us men?"
50372That puts it correctly, I_ think_, lads?
50372The lady is my wife: you will allow that I have a right to her?
50372The number includes you and the cook and the nigger lad?
50372The owner of this schooner?
50372Then vot sall become of me?
50372To what port?
50372To whom did he say it?
50372Vot ees secon''mate?
50372Watching what?
50372Well, then, Butler, you''re displaced, d''ye see? 50372 Well, your minds are easy now, I hope, my lads?"
50372Were you shipped at Cadiz?
50372What about our money? 50372 What about our money?"
50372What are you?
50372What became of that carriage?
50372What did you tell her?
50372What did your daughter tell you about those two men?
50372What do you mean by mad?
50372What do you mean to do?
50372What do you think of this schooner?
50372What do you want?
50372What do''ee say?
50372What does he say?
50372What ees it dat Capitan Dopping say?
50372What ees it you say?
50372What happened next?
50372What is it?
50372What is that idea?
50372What is the name of this vessel?
50372What is to be done?
50372What is to be done?
50372What is to be done?
50372What is wrong?
50372What of that?
50372What ship is yourn?
50372What will my father and mother think? 50372 What will you do, sir?"
50372What you weesh me say?
50372What you wish me to do,said I,"is to take charge of the schooner while you and the crew are ashore?"
50372What''s all this got to do with paying of us?
50372What''s happened below?
50372What''s the name of this craft?
50372What''s your other name?
50372What, meanwhile, am I to do for clothes?
50372When ees he to bury?
50372Where am I?
50372Where are they?
50372Where are you bound to?
50372Where are you from?
50372Where are you from?
50372Where do you go when you die?
50372Where does your mate live?
50372Where is Don Christoval?
50372Where is Mariana?
50372Where is the cook?
50372Where''s the passing ship to come from?
50372Where,said I,"was he mistaken?"
50372Where?
50372Who is Don Christoval?
50372Who is Don Lazarillo?
50372Who is the owner, d''ye say?
50372Who remained in charge of the boat?
50372Who shrieked just now?
50372Who taught you that?
50372Who''s a- going to pay us men?
50372Who''s a- going to pay us?
50372Who''s a- going to wait for her? 50372 Who''s done it?"
50372Who''s done this?
50372Who''s going to navigate the vessel?
50372Who''s going to pay us?
50372Who''s the owner?
50372Why am I here?
50372Why am I here?
50372Why did you not, before this evening, tell me that the lady was gone for mad, as you call it?
50372Why do n''t you stop with me?
50372Why, do you know?
50372Why?
50372Will it be long before we arrive home?
50372Will she have a knife about her?
50372Will they return?
50372Will you deny that Mariana speaks the truth?
50372Will you descend into the cabin and see her?
50372Will 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?"
50372With me you leave Mariana and the negro boy?
50372You are a gentleman by birth?
50372You are satisfied to remain with me, Tom,said I,"when the sailors leave me?"
50372You do not doubt that it is a genuine business?
50372You do not wish to imply that she is shamming?
50372You know the way to Cuba?
50372You mean yourself?
50372You talk of transportation for life, Mr. Portlack; d''ye want it to happen, sir?
50372You will own that?
50372You wish me to eat in my own quarters, Don Christoval? 50372 You''ll be able to see your way through this job?"
50372You''re merely frightening the man, I hope, sir,said he,"with this here talk of sailing to England?"
50372Your 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?"
50372After a pause I said,"When did you hear him say this?"
50372Am I meaningless to you?"
50372And 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?
50372And how do the lady relish the notion of having stuck the big Spaniard?"
50372And next, supposing there to be eyes on the watch, who''s to guess our business?
50372And what about the schooner?"
50372Another consideration: suppose I had declined Don Christoval''s proposal, how should I have been served?
50372As you are going into the town, will you engage a sitting- room and bedroom for me at the best hotel in the place?
50372Ask the gent who''s a- going to pay us, cook?
50372But how shall I serve you by visiting madame, your wife?"
50372But how was it possible to make sure of the truth, one way or the other?
50372But suppose, while you''re ashore, a boat should come off and speak us?"
50372But what of Madame del Padron, the Ida of Don Christoval''s heart, if not of his hearth?
50372But will you descend, Captain Portlack, and see her?"
50372But you are not deceiving me?"
50372But, then, were we likely to be pursued?
50372By 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?
50372Can you lend me a couple of hands?"
50372Can you lend me a couple of hands?"
50372Captain Dopping believed it; the five seamen believed it; and what was there for me to ground suspicion upon?
50372Captain Dopping, you can lend this poor man some dry linen and clothes?"
50372Captain Hoste cried out,"But what is wrong with you?"
50372D''ye hear me, cook?"
50372Did he say nothing more to the point than to abuse you as pirates?"
50372Did you hear Don Christoval tell me just now what happened ashore?"
50372Did you hear it here?"
50372Do not I owe my life to you all?"
50372Do not you see that he perishes of hunger and of thirst and of cold?"
50372Do you see?
50372Does he speak English?"
50372For joy at seeing her husband?"
50372For what purpose was this done?
50372Had her joy on finding herself with her husband again-- the husband of her adoration-- proved too much for her mind?
50372Had the schooner sailed on some piratic expedition?
50372Have you money with you, or the equivalent of money?"
50372He 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?"
50372He came to the edge of the wall, and, looking down, shouted out in a hoarse voice:"Is this schooner the Casandra?"
50372He chewed upon this and then said:"But a wedding ring ben''t no infallible sign of marriage, is it, sir?
50372He muttered something under his breath and then said,"And supposing the lady to be his lawful wife, sir?"
50372He ran his gaze over my figure to observe what garments belonging to him I had arrayed myself in, then said,"What is your name?"
50372He then said, with a smile:"You have lost your ship, sir?"
50372How had fared the two sailors whom the murderous rogue of a Yankee skipper had pilfered from me?
50372How many were there?"
50372How to thank you-- But about this boy?
50372I also gather that when you have regained the lady you proceed forthwith to the island of Cuba?"
50372I 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?"
50372I cried;"how am I to transact your business if you interrupt me?
50372I hope you are feeling very much better?"
50372I say I_ seem_, and yet I am haunted by a sort of horrid memory-- how shall I express it?
50372I say,''Why you no sleep now in the fok''sle?''
50372I shall be happy to do so; but I presume I am to be waited upon?"
50372I suppose the crew will be discharged on the vessel''s arrival at Cuba?"
50372I was about to go on deck when the boy said to me,"Do yah know where yaw''ve to sleep?"
50372I was about to quit him when he said:"Beg pardon, Mr. Portlack, what might the Don have been a- saying just now?"
50372I was slightly startled, and answered,"What good can I do, Don Christoval?"
50372If not, then how long would this slumber last?
50372If you men go away in the boat, will the negro boy Tom be willing to remain with me?"
50372In imagination I marked them cautiously approach the house-- but what sort of house was it?
50372Into what- parallels had the Ocean Ranger penetrated by this time, and what man of her crew had been selected to fill my place?
50372Is not this as you would wish, men?"
50372Is she in her room?"
50372Is this agreeable to you, lads?"
50372Is this voyage to Cuba to be prosecuted?
50372Is your Cuban port fixed upon?"
50372It''s still summer time, ai n''t it?"
50372Let me see him, will you?"
50372Mariana came out of the bows and called out to me with his incommunicable accent:"Señor, do you see?"
50372Mariana came out of the cabin and was trudging forward when I called to him:"How is the lady?"
50372Mariana translating, the dialogue took this form:--"The men wish to know who is to pay them their wages?"
50372Might not this dark day prove fatal to us?"
50372Now, would Captain Noble wish this?
50372Pointing 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?"
50372Portlack?"
50372Portlack?"
50372Portlack?"
50372Portlack?"
50372Portlack?"
50372Shall we signal her?"
50372She viewed me anxiously and searchingly, and said,"Have I been mad?"
50372Should Miss Noble dash out of her cabin armed with a knife, what would Tom be able to do?
50372Suppose an accident should befall Captain Dopping-- how should we reach Cuba: nay, how should we reach a near safe port?
50372The more I know of you the more I honor you.... And she stabbed him to the heart?
50372The other answered and was about quitting me, but stopped and said:"Let me see, Captain Portlack, I believe you sleep under the main hatch?"
50372Then, glancing along the decks of the vessel, he added,"So_ this_ is the blasted schooner, hey?"
50372Was his tale to be doubted?
50372Was life ebbing away as she thus rested?
50372Was she dark or fair?
50372Was she lying awake yonder, expecting her husband?
50372Was there some colossal undertaking of smuggling in contemplation?
50372Was this sleep the forerunner of death?
50372Was-- I mean, is the man in any way related to you?"
50372We''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?"
50372Well, Miss Noble?"
50372Were they to be trusted at a pinch, I wondered?
50372What about leaving the vessel under this small canvas?"
50372What am I to say, and what am I to do?"
50372What d''ye suspect?"
50372What did I expect to see?
50372What did it all mean?
50372What do you want?"
50372What had driven the lady mad?
50372What is he doing there now, d''ye know?"
50372What more natural, seeing how he was all agin the marriage?"
50372What now do you wish to say?"
50372What sort of person is Don Lazarillo de Tormes?"
50372What story am I to tell the captain whom I ask to receive you?
50372What vessel received them?"
50372What was I to do?
50372What was her age?
50372What would you do were you suddenly confronted by a mad woman armed with a long knife?
50372What''s to be done, I say?
50372What''ud they find?
50372Who knows of this beside yourself?"
50372Who was the spy he employed, I wonder?"
50372Who will pay those men for the work they have done, the risks they have run, and have yet to run?"
50372Who would be able to guess at our destination?
50372Who''s a- going to pay me?"
50372Will it ever come to half- way to Cuba?
50372Will they even know that this vessel was lying off the coast to receive me?"
50372Will you take it afresh?"
50372Would Don Christoval challenge me for my suspicions?
50372Would my lady, your mother, desire this?"
50372Would she have struggled had Don Christoval been her husband, to whom she was yearning to be reunited?
50372You know what you have to watch?"
50372You will go ashore armed, of course?"
50372and how is she a- doing, sir?"
50372for as to my coachman and footman-- what do you think?
50372he cried, shouting the words with a face of horror to Mariana;"you will proceed to England?"
50372said I,"watching the lady, hey?
50372the tall Spaniard cried, with an impassioned gesture of his arm;"you will help me to assert my right?
50372what name is written in her?"
36220''Good- bye''?
36220''Why not? 36220 And bolted the door?"
36220And how can you see?
36220And must I look pleasant?
36220And where is this house?
36220Are n''t they ready?
36220Are n''t_ you_ going back to school?
36220Are the downstairs windows barred with iron, too?
36220Are you ill?
36220Are you the man who brought me to Lowndes Square an hour or so ago?
36220Are you thinking of writing to her?
36220Are_ you_ Mrs. Harborough? 36220 Aunt Josephine?"
36220Awful hole to be in, is n''t it?
36220Because,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?"
36220But are n''t you going away to- morrow?
36220But if we do n''t,I said,"how are we going to live-- Bettina and I, without the pension?"
36220But my----( I suppressed"my aunt"with an inward twist of questioning anguish)"----shall I not be asked where I am going and why?"
36220But what sort is a skirt- dance?
36220But, Ranny,I said,"how can you do all this?
36220Ca n''t we sit down?
36220Could you hear something very unexpected, even horrible, and not cry out?
36220Danced badly?
36220Did Lady Helmstone say she and Hermione would walk back with Bettina?
36220Did 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?"
36220Did you ask?
36220Did you drive through the Park?
36220Do n''t know caviar?
36220Do n''t you skirt- dance?
36220Do people not leave London in August nowadays?
36220Do you mind?
36220Do you see yourself going to classes in London, cramming yourself with all this?
36220Do you think,I whispered to my man,"you could ask to have a window opened?"
36220Does n''t she want to?
36220Does she expect dinner to go to her, too?
36220Does she tell you what they talk about?
36220Drugged?
36220End? 36220 Equipment for what?"
36220Had Mademoiselle Bettina not taken it out?
36220Have n''t I made you understand? 36220 Have they put on the chain?"
36220Have you any idea where you are?
36220Have you ever fainted?
36220Heard_ them_?
36220How can I say? 36220 How can you be sure?
36220How did you know of the existence of these people?
36220How do we know?
36220How do you know they have bolted it?
36220How long,she demanded,"are you going to stay?"
36220How was it you came to know that?
36220How will it end?
36220How_ can_ I? 36220 I said he was jealous of Captain Boyne, or why should he call him''that fellow''?
36220I suppose, then, you heard me try the door?
36220I 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?
36220If she knew what you had told me, what would she do?
36220If the policeman knew,she said--"if he so much as suspected, why did he not stop the motor?"
36220If we never go anywhere-- never see anyone, what is the use in being equipped?
36220If, after all, they were to prevent me-- what, what then?
36220In this weather?
36220Is Betty going?
36220Is he married?
36220Is n''t it so? 36220 Is that where Betty is?"
36220It is different, you mean, in Crutchley Street?
36220Look here,he said,"why should n''t we go and meet Annan?--warn him-- eh?"
36220Luggage, miss?
36220Married?
36220Matter? 36220 Me?"
36220No? 36220 Not?
36220Now?
36220Oh, Art is it?
36220Oh, and what are you now?
36220Oh, w- will you?
36220Oh, you prefer crême de menthe, do you?
36220One of the Helmstones?
36220Other claims?
36220Ought I?
36220Put what?
36220She tink to go on ze stage?
36220Show 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?"
36220The fall?
36220To- night-- to- night; what can we do to- night?
36220Under? 36220 Wait"?
36220We are not to be together?
36220Well, is n''t that the intention of most people who put up a cottage in the country?
36220Well, oblige the company by telling us what you look for in a story?
36220Well, she has other preoccupations, has n''t she?
36220Well, what of that?
36220What am I doing?
36220What are the ends of life?
36220What are you doing?
36220What are you planting there?
36220What call?
36220What did she say?
36220What do you do then?
36220What do you really want them for?
36220What do you want a bungalow_ for_, then?
36220What ees it?
36220What in the world do you think that means?
36220What is he going to tell me?
36220What is it?
36220What is it?
36220What is the matter?
36220What makes you think I''m going to settle down?
36220What on earth do you mean?
36220What people do they discuss?
36220What put such an idea into your head?
36220What put this into your head?
36220What should I hear?
36220What time is it in?
36220What time is it?
36220What was that?
36220What way-- way to what?
36220What will you have?
36220What would n''t she understand?
36220What''s the use?
36220What_ are_ you doing? 36220 When did they do that?"
36220When is he here?
36220Where are you going?
36220Where do you find wild thyme?
36220Where does your aunt live?
36220Who are you?
36220Who is to be there?
36220Who was that gentleman?
36220Who,( with her air of listening to sounds beyond my ken)"who can all those people be?"
36220Who?
36220Why did n''t he arrest the woman?
36220Why did n''t you think of it? 36220 Why must you have wild thyme there?"
36220Why not?
36220Why should I?
36220Why should they be''in hand''?
36220Why was that?
36220Why?
36220Why?
36220Why?
36220Why?
36220Will they for you?
36220Will you drive very fast?
36220Wo n''t you do it if I ask you to?
36220Yes, looks quite Bond Street, does n''t it?
36220Yes, yes; for you, Mademoiselle, ze note sall be sérénité... hein? 36220 Yet someone came to the unbolted door----?"
36220You are ze careful one, hein?
36220You do n''t believe I would lie to you?
36220You do n''t mean there are many?
36220You do n''t mean to say you were in there all the time?
36220You do n''t think she is going to die?
36220You do n''t,I whispered,"you do n''t mean... quite soon?"
36220You feel sure I could n''t?
36220You haf a photografie-- hein?
36220You have never been to London since you were a child-- and you come all this way just for a few hours?
36220You like caviar?
36220You mean Betty is too young?
36220You mean Hermione? 36220 You mean curing?"
36220You surely did have other claims?
36220You think I would n''t?
36220You think, then, even if Aunt Josephine helped----"Who is Aunt Josephine?
36220You think,Mrs. Harborough said,"that the woman was suspicious?"
36220You 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?
36220A marble terrace by moonlight.... No?
36220After I shut the door, I opened it again, and called out:"Oh, what was it you were going to tell me?"
36220After a moment:"Was that here?"
36220After a second:"How did she get hold of you?"
36220And Betty, suspicious, insistent:"Not_ never_?"
36220And I asked questions about that time-- questions that made him stare:"How did you guess?
36220And I had done her hair like that----"_ What is your fortune, my pretty maid?_"The man had come out and softly shut the door.
36220And besides----""Besides?"
36220And can you valk in it?
36220And had I seen the sun go down?
36220And he began badly:"''You''ve told Boyne he ca n''t have this waltz?''"
36220And he repeated it:"''Single harness,''eh?"
36220And her time---- Was that nearly over too?
36220And now again I asked:"Why had it to be you?"
36220And should we always have the pension?
36220And the third?
36220And then, what do you think I said?"
36220And this was a question of a cruise of-- how many weeks?
36220And very sharp on that:"Why not?"
36220And were our boxes labelled?
36220And what had the Government done even for Science?
36220And what was she like-- this lady?
36220And when?
36220And why, I asked Bettina, did she feel so?
36220And why_ should_ we?
36220And would I like to see him?
36220And would we stay for the Coronation?
36220And yet...."Why should you want to do that?"
36220And, to divert her thoughts, I asked:"Who takes care of her-- the little daughter-- while you are away?"
36220And, with that start I had learned from my mother-- where was Betty?
36220Are these, then, deliberate criminals?
36220As still as if I were taking your picture?"
36220Bettina said at last that she hated most dreadfully to bother Madame Aurore, but where was that old photograph?
36220Bettina said soothingly:"I suppose you left her with some good friend?"
36220Bettina went about the house, singing:"''Where are you going to, my pretty maid?''
36220Betty asked why would he?
36220Betty-- Betty, what am I to do?
36220Betty-- Betty-- who will help us?
36220Brighton?
36220But I managed to bring out the words:"Is he going, do you think?"
36220But 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?
36220But had I or anybody else ever heard of a man who was a doctor himself wanting his sister, or his daughter to study medicine?
36220But he said:"When she begins to play, or to sing, you are to get up quite quietly--_can_ you?"
36220But what had become of the ideal of confidence?
36220But when they''re young, what_ does_ it matter?"
36220But where_ was_ our"slight and only clue"?
36220But who was I to reach the Queen?
36220But who was the man with her?
36220But who was worthy to make an evening- frock fit for London?
36220But why?
36220But, going downstairs, I asked him how_ was_ I to put it to my mother?
36220CHAPTER XIV WHERE IS BETTINA?
36220CHAPTER XXIX WHERE?
36220Ca n''t you see what a wild idea it is?"
36220Could I remember what he was like?
36220Could I trust even Eric to help?
36220Could n''t I trust him to know?
36220Could she lift ze arm-- hein?"
36220Could she, when she was in her teens, have felt the least as I did?
36220Could they mean, then, to go home...?
36220Did n''t I say,"Hermione laughed,"no man ever knows when to come away from this place?"
36220Did 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?
36220Did the stranger object to jumping ditches and climbing stiles?
36220Eh-- what?"
36220Eh----?"
36220Even if the chauffeurs, all three, were decent enough ordinarily, what if just to- night they had been drinking?
36220For he went on quickly to say:"Suppose I sit with your mother for that hour, while you go out and get some exercise?"
36220For whom was that"but"?
36220Had I no regard for my little sister, sitting there in the current of raw air?
36220Had he, then, come so early for"nothing in particular"?
36220Had it come to this house to serve as model?
36220Had she not told me herself that my first duty was to take care of Betty?
36220Had the strange woman kissed Bettina?
36220Had this, as the little dressmaker hinted, something of sheer sickness in it-- an invalid''s caprice?
36220Has he you?"
36220Have n''t you... other claims?"
36220Have you ever noticed that?
36220He had said to her after a certain occurrence----"What occurrence?"
36220He hesitated and then:"How good are your nerves?"
36220He lifted his umbrella, and seemed to make a sign:"May I come in?"
36220He looked at me:"And you?"
36220He studied at the University there part of one year----""Studied duelling?"
36220Hein?
36220His tone asked: and what business was it of mine?
36220How do they come on?"
36220How 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?
36220How long was it since I had been away from Bettina?
36220How much had I given away?
36220How old must she be before she could wear the pendant?
36220I asked him to tell us about them: were the sisters like him?
36220I could only suggest that if she was afraid of anything of the kind, why should she not speak to Betty?
36220I knew all this was wild and foolish... then why did these imaginings make me feel I could not bear the suspense another moment?
36220I looked back again:"Is that the only reason?"
36220I might be sure they would do all they could to discover the house----"When?
36220I remembered I had gone back into that last Darkness saying, as I had said ten thousand times before:"Why had this come to Betty?"
36220I said I was sure they would not, though an hour before I would have asked, Why not?
36220I was going to say"Why not?"
36220I went secretly, a roundabout way through the shrubberies, to bring Betty in, reluctant and looking back at Dora:"Come again to- morrow?"
36220I, myself?
36220Is n''t it this window?"
36220It was better, she answered, to be less comfortable and safe, than to be more comfortable and----"And what?"
36220Let us see, did it lend itself?
36220Madame Aurore asked each day, How was madame?
36220My 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...?"
36220Neither haste nor perturbation in the voice that asked me:"What has happened?"
36220No other friend?
36220Now, can you sit quite still for a few minutes?
36220Of course, my mother asked why such unbrotherly behaviour?
36220Often they asked, Would she come to a garden- party?
36220Oh, very distingué, hein?"
36220Oh, why are you Queen of England, if you ca n''t help Betty?"
36220Only, would n''t she be up to the eyes in work?
36220Or is it worse?..."
36220Or shall I ask someone else?"
36220Ranny walked behind, absolutely silent, till he burst out:"May I smoke?"
36220She went one day("Well, does n''t the field belong to us?")
36220Should I run along the street ringing at all the bells?
36220Should we have to sell Duncombe House?
36220So I said:''If the Boynes are n''t nice, why are they here?''
36220Taxi- drivers were as much alike to country eyes as the cabs they drove---- But why ask me?
36220The admission was made in an accent so coldly hopeless that Bettina, round- eyed, said:"Oh, dear, is n''t she a nice friend?"
36220The first time Madame Aurore heard Bettina she arrested the rapid stab of her basting needle:"Who ees dat?"
36220The inspector said, under certain circumstances, a warrant could be obtained to search the house.... And was the warrant ready?
36220The question still was, Who, this side of London, could be trusted to make our frocks?
36220Then of the elaborate grey head turning towards an old man, as if to ask: Well, what do you think of my nieces?
36220Then that admirable Aunt wrote back:"Would next month do?"
36220Then 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?"
36220Then, with unusual_ brusquerie_ where my mother was concerned, he added:"When_ I_ come to see people, what I say is,''How do you do?''"
36220There must always be that question: what is going to become of me?
36220This had been her one chance-- who else was likely to take her?
36220To whom?
36220To- morrow?
36220Two taxi- cabs in the rank, and ours at the curb?
36220Under what?"
36220Underneath it what was happening?
36220Was Hermione expecting to see the Boynes soon again?"
36220Was eccentricity the sort of thing that grew worse as people grew older?
36220Was he not a sort of a doctor?
36220Was it drugged coffee that made me feel so lamed?
36220Was it not better to write to him, rather than face another afternoon like yesterday?
36220Was n''t it worse, I demanded, groping among the new perceptions dawning-- wasn''t it worse for Bettina to tease a dumb animal?
36220Was she afraid of making these friends of the beautiful lady anxious about her?
36220Was that a blackcap singing?
36220Was there, then, some life- principle in such pain?
36220Was this death?...
36220Watching sideways-- watching... for what?
36220Well, why not?
36220What did I know?"
36220What did he know about"her kind"?
36220What did he say?"
36220What did he say?"
36220What did it all mean?
36220What did they mean?
36220What do you do with all those poor darling guinea- pigs?"
36220What had I done?
36220What had I noticed as we drove away from the station?
36220What had Mr. Annan said the day before?
36220What had been done by all the members of the Lords and Commons put together comparable to the achievements of-- for instance, Sanitary Science?
36220What had he to be grateful for?
36220What had he turned away for with that brisk air?
36220What had he_ done_--except to use his great position as a rostrum?
36220What had they done?
36220What hung?
36220What if he were not mad?
36220What made her look like that?
36220What magic light was this, then, that was shining on the world?
36220What put that in your head?"
36220What should be the matter?"
36220What time is it?"
36220What was I thinking of?
36220What was happening at home all this time?
36220What was it he had told me?
36220What was the good of this man who was n''t a general practitioner?
36220What was the white- capped figure looking at-- so steadily, so long?
36220What was to become of us?
36220What was wrong?
36220What were they like?
36220What, then, was our chief advantage?
36220What_ did_ he mean?
36220When was she going to be married?
36220When?"
36220Where did she live?
36220Where is she?"
36220Where should I go?
36220Where was Bettina, in her ignorance, straying?
36220Where was he going to keep them?
36220Where was my mother in her lonely struggle?
36220Where would she be when the foxgloves stood tall here among the bracken?
36220Which way had we driven from Victoria?
36220Who else?
36220Who had Power?
36220Who was there in all the world who really cared?
36220Who was this with the hair rolled high and the pear- shaped earrings?
36220Why had I not thought of that before?
36220Why had she looked after us?
36220Why have you put on your cloak?
36220Why should not I, too, scorn delight and live laborious days?
36220Why should_ I_ not rouse myself and nerve myself?
36220Why was he not spending every thought and every hour in trying to find Bettina?
36220Why was he troubling about me?
36220Why was it wrong to mention the doctor''s visit?
36220Why was she like this?
36220Why, above all, should I, who was so much older...?
36220Why?
36220Will you believe that?"
36220Will you just find out?"
36220Would he come again at three, so that we might talk alone?
36220Would she help with a children''s school- treat?
36220Would she play bridge?
36220Yes; and did I want to see him now?
36220You crossed Oxford Street?"
36220You do n''t know what chaklas are?
36220You do n''t mean such a thing has happened before?"
36220You were horribly frightened,_ were n''t_ you?"
36220_ My_ story?
36220_ Now_ do you understand?"
36220_ Why_ have n''t you told him?''"
36220how is it now?)
36220is n''t this the kind of foolishness I was hoping to be saved from?
36220what has happened to you?"
36220you here again?"
38347A bead-- a costly bead-- and you were not found out?
38347A business man, then?
38347A stranger''s? 38347 A woman''s, daintily shod; a woman of about the size of--""Who?
38347Again? 38347 Ah, is she the one?"
38347Am I not right?
38347And by what right did he demand this? 38347 And did she?
38347And during the time, you say, when Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s guests were assembling? 38347 And he?"
38347And how do you like it here?
38347And 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?"
38347And she? 38347 And she?"
38347And what did you tell her?
38347And what inference can we draw from that?
38347And what?--what?
38347And you told Mrs. Ocumpaugh this?
38347And you want-- you intend, to measure those steps?
38347And you would be willing?
38347Any one else?
38347Are as unreal as the dog? 38347 Are you dissatisfied?"
38347Are you going to cross the floor?
38347Are you not a--_detective_?
38347Attracted? 38347 Blood on the ceiling of my old pavilion?
38347Both?
38347But the child is not dead? 38347 But the child?"
38347But 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?"
38347Can you deny as well that you have been gone two days from this place? 38347 Can you see?"
38347Can you think of any other?
38347Certainly; are we not almost friends?
38347Clue to what? 38347 Clue?"
38347Could n''t Mrs. Carew tell us something about this?
38347Did I not advise her right?
38347Did n''t you recall the matter to her when you found the child missing?
38347Did we do that?
38347Did you look up?
38347Did you not know it?
38347Did you notice where the boards had been sawed?
38347Did you see this woman? 38347 Did you think-- did any one think-- that those cries came from Gwendolen?
38347Do n''t you see? 38347 Do you fear the police?"
38347Do you feel better?
38347Do you know her reasons for this?
38347Do you know that I do n''t quite like the noises which are being made up there?
38347Do you know that man?
38347Do you know this child''s parentage and condition?
38347Do you know who pasted that date upon the post?
38347Do you mean that you are my friend?
38347Do you not think Mrs. Ocumpaugh worthy some pity? 38347 Do you see that?"
38347Do you suppose she knew it?
38347Do you wish to talk to him_ here_?
38347Doctor Pool? 38347 GWENDOLEN HERE?"]
38347Good news? 38347 Gwendolen here?"
38347Gwendolen here?
38347Gwendolen? 38347 Harry what?
38347Harry?
38347Have I not said that I do not know? 38347 Her illness?"
38347Her servants then?
38347Here?
38347His name?
38347How could I,she asked,"when Mrs. Ocumpaugh did not close her eyes?
38347How did Mrs. Ocumpaugh seem to like that?
38347How do you do, little man? 38347 How?
38347Hurt, Aline?
38347Hurt?
38347I do not like it either, but--"What have you found now?
38347I know of one thing, but what else?
38347I 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?
38347I see-- and who is the woman? 38347 I want to see for myself if-- if--""If what, Jared?"
38347I want? 38347 I wonder if you will have an equally wise reply to give to my next question?"
38347If you can find her-- that is the first thing, is n''t it?
38347In a half- foot of earth, madam? 38347 In money?
38347In the disused part of the bungalow? 38347 In what direction, then?"
38347In what respect are you a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh, and what makes you think I have her child in this house?
38347Is Mrs. Carew so fond of money as all that? 38347 Is it not?
38347Is one of those directed to Robert Trevitt?
38347Is she a good woman?
38347Is that your little nephew I''ve heard them tell about? 38347 Is the child quiet?
38347Is the time too short? 38347 Is this letter, as you call it, so old?"
38347It came out of Mrs. Carew''s grounds?
38347Jewels? 38347 Little Miss Graham?
38347Love?
38347Madam, do you recognize this?
38347Madam, what does this mean? 38347 Madam, what secret?
38347Mr. Rathbone, perhaps?
38347Mrs. Carew-- for it must be Mrs. Carew I am addressing-- did your little nephew cry when you first brought him to the house?
38347News?
38347No cops in the neighborhood? 38347 No farther than that?"
38347No; why should I? 38347 Nor given into Mrs. Carew''s hand such an account?"
38347Not if he brings news?
38347Nothing?
38347Now?
38347Of course, who else?
38347Oh, what is going to happen now?
38347Oh,she cried, in a tone that assured me she had not seen the dog lying in his blood at my back;"dead already?
38347One I know?
38347Or have you interested yourself in this matter purely from business reasons?
38347Shall I give him my word, Harry?
38347Shall I not go on?
38347Shall_ I_ not look up Mr. Atwater for you?
38347She has not sailed?
38347She studied-- to please_ me_? 38347 So you intend to publish my story, if I do not?"
38347Steps,she cried,"going up into that part of the building where-- where--""Will you attempt them with me?
38347That you would help me, if any help were possible, to keep my secret and-- my husband''s love?
38347Then I may go on?
38347Then there are doubts,she faltered;"doubts of its being Gwendolen?"
38347Then you do not know it?
38347Then_ you_ think she strayed down to the water?
38347This paper?
38347Was I to give this one?
38347Was he as wealthy then as now?
38347Was her love for Gwendolen sincere?
38347Was it a man''s or woman''s steps?
38347Was there a footprint left, then? 38347 Was there anything peculiar about these confections either in taste or appearance?"
38347Was-- was Mrs. Ocumpaugh very much disturbed by what she saw?
38347What are you going to do next?
38347What are you going to do?
38347What are you listening for?
38347What can you find there?
38347What did you know of Mrs. Carew before she came to----?
38347What do you mean?
38347What do you mean?
38347What do you mean?
38347What do you mean?
38347What does she mean?
38347What for? 38347 What goes on behind those shuttered windows?"
38347What have you two been doing down there?
38347What if she went in some one''s arms?
38347What is Mrs. Carew doing this morning?
38347What is it? 38347 What is it?
38347What is it?
38347What is that I hear, then?
38347What is that on the other side?
38347What is that spot, and that spot, and that? 38347 What makes you say that?
38347What makes you think it blood?
38347What need of that?
38347What relationship?
38347What sort of candy-- pardon me if I seem impertinent-- had you in your house on the Wednesday the child disappeared? 38347 What then?"
38347What will you do with it?
38347What words are those?
38347What would I think? 38347 Where did you get it?
38347Where then did she go? 38347 Where was your old home?"
38347Which Mr. Ocumpaugh? 38347 Who blundered, and what is the meaning of the conspiracy you hint at?
38347Who can detain me,she cried,"if I wish to go?"
38347Who has been here?
38347Who occupies that house?
38347Whom? 38347 Why not?"
38347Why was it ever closed up? 38347 Why, she would be a fool to care for him, unless--""Unless what?"
38347Will what we saw and what we found in the bungalow last night?
38347Will 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?"
38347With me? 38347 With thoughts of her little nephew?"
38347Would n''t you think my attention would have been caught by the sound of any one moving about here?
38347Would you like to see what that is? 38347 Would you like to?
38347Yes; Doctor Pool, whom I wish to God I had never seen-- has he told you any such lies as that? 38347 Yesterday?"
38347You can bear it?
38347You did? 38347 You do not know?"
38347You have not seen the written account of it?
38347You know the relationship?
38347You know this?
38347You know who wrote those slips?
38347You thought the child had been stolen for the reward she would bring?
38347You''re not out of the woods, is that it? 38347 You?"
38347You?
38347_ She_ beautiful?
38347''Are you a doctor?''
38347''Where were you going to take her?''
38347274 XXI Providence 289 XXII On the Second Terrace 315 XXIII A Coral Bead 321 XXIV"Shall I Give Him My Word, Harry?"
38347A conspiracy, and for what?
38347A detective of my experience outwitted by this stricken, half- dead woman whom I had trembled to see try to stand upon her feet?
38347A dream?
38347A square of impenetrable gloom confronted me at the first glance-- what might not be the result of a second?
38347Ah; is that the little boy?"
38347Aline, will you promise?"
38347All looked well in that direction; but what was the aspect of affairs in Homewood?
38347An impossibility?"
38347And 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''?
38347And what had I done?
38347And what would the story tell me to warrant the loss of what might have proved a most valuable hour?
38347And when do you think that was?"
38347And who can penetrate a woman''s mind?
38347And why should n''t I go see?
38347Any which she could have got at or the nurse given her?"
38347Are not_ some one_ and_ the wretch_ one and the same person, and can you not give him now a name?"
38347Are you here at Mrs. Ocumpaugh''s bidding, and has she at last given up all expectation of finding her child in the river?"
38347Are you more than convinced of this now?
38347Are you quite convinced that you have news of sufficient importance to warrant the expectations you have raised in her?"
38347Are you quite sure that there is any possibility of this?
38347Are you ready to promise, Aline?"
38347Are you sure?"
38347Atwater?"
38347But how express myself?
38347But is n''t there some one else who is conscious of possessing certain claims also?
38347But perhaps you are better informed on this subject than I supposed?
38347But there is a gentleman-- one interested in the family-- a man with something to gain--""Mr. Rathbone?
38347But who are you, sir, if I may ask?
38347But who could have been here?
38347But who knows?
38347But would Mrs. Ocumpaugh do this?
38347But would he accord me an interview?
38347Ca n''t you see how anxious I must be about that-- if it should prove to be Gwendolen?"
38347Can not the child run away and be lost?
38347Can not you find him?"
38347Can you declare that she did not have this candy in one of her little hands?"
38347Can you not think of some other motive?
38347Carew?"
38347Carew?"
38347Carew?"
38347Carew?"
38347Could any one have thought that?"
38347Danced at night and--""And-- and-- what by day, what?"
38347Did I allow my triumph to betray itself?
38347Did I feel easier?
38347Did I run?
38347Did he bid you say that?"
38347Did her lips frame it, or did I see it in her eyes?
38347Did it pass out before the wagon?"
38347Did n''t you hear a carriage drive through your grounds at about the hour the alarm was first started?
38347Did n''t you see all there was to see?"
38347Did she fear her charming neighbor?
38347Did she know how much?
38347Did 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?
38347Did you ever see the child about whom there has been all this coil?"
38347Did you know it?"
38347Did you not notice?"
38347Did you play the detective here?"
38347Did you see any other vehicle leave by the same gate at or before that time?"
38347Did you?"
38347Do n''t you see that I am consumed with jealousy?
38347Do n''t you see that some one has preceded us here; and that not so very long ago?
38347Do n''t you see that your conclusions are all wild-- incredible?
38347Do you know if the police had it up?"
38347Do you know so little of the impulses of a mind, bewildered as mine has been by intolerable suffering?"
38347Do you know the secret of that strangely divided room?"
38347Do you know?"
38347Do you mean proof?
38347Do you mean to publish my shame to the world?
38347Do you not believe me?
38347Do you not know of some one who wanted the child from--_love_, let us say?"
38347Do you not see that it is blood?
38347Do you think me as blind to- day to truth and honor as I was six years ago?
38347Do you want more months for dancing?"
38347Do you want to see things nearer?
38347Do you wish her confirmation of my story?
38347Do you wish to see her?
38347Do you wonder that a visit in the dead of night to a spot associated with such superstitious horrors should frighten me?"
38347Do you?"
38347Do_ you_ know what they meant by that?
38347Does it mean that?
38347Does it mean that?"
38347First, what has become of the child?"
38347God grant-- but what can any old letter have to do with the agonizing question before us?
38347Had Gwendolen Ocumpaugh by any chance worn such?
38347Had I bargained with Mrs. Ocumpaugh?
38347Had all my efforts for the last half- hour been for the purpose of entrapping her into some such avowal?
38347Had little Miss Graham''s theory no better foundation than this?
38347Had she read my inmost soul?
38347Had she the strength to stand the ordeal?
38347Had 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?
38347Had the storm passed over?
38347Harry Carew?"
38347Harry, will you stay with me?"
38347Has there been no alarm?"
38347Have n''t I done everything?
38347Have you by any chance the means of entrance to the bungalow?
38347Have you no idea of repentance and regeneration from sin?
38347He is your nephew, I believe?"
38347He was right; what was she doing?
38347How came you there?
38347How can I help?
38347How dare you?
38347How had it happened?
38347How shall we see?
38347How was the boy in his charge?
38347How?
38347I 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?"
38347I did n''t ask who she was; why should I?
38347I did not see her face, it was heavily veiled, but I heard her voice; it was a lady''s voice and--""What?"
38347I let a moment of silence pass, then nonchalantly remarked:"Why is she going to Europe?"
38347I may not see you again; may I wish you a safe journey?"
38347I waited till she was calm again, then I inquired very softly:"What wretch?"
38347If taken there, why was n''t she found there?
38347If the child can be found-- you wish that?
38347If 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?"
38347Is it-- is it good news?"
38347Is she an actress too-- Gwendolen?"
38347Is she known?
38347It was I who carried Gwendolen into that secret hole._"XXI PROVIDENCE Had I suspected this?
38347Lift your eyes to the ceiling-- over there-- at the extreme end toward the south-- do you see--_what_ do you see?"
38347Master, what is it?
38347May I tell you--"as I laid my hand upon the outer door- knob--"just how to approach her?"
38347Mr. Trevitt, yesterday saw the end of those ten days, and where is she now?
38347No spies around?"
38347Not to extort money, or why these blundering efforts to make the child appear dead?"
38347Now all might be lost unless I could arrive in time to-- do what?
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Ocumpaugh?"
38347Oh, 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?
38347One of them detective fellows?
38347Or do n''t you know?"
38347Or has the great lady bargained with you?--Um?
38347Or rather, to what place was she taken?
38347Or will you stay here, in the darkness?"
38347Order the work stopped?
38347Perhaps you know this?"
38347Rathbone?"
38347Shall I replace it and press back the nails?"
38347Shall we cross the floor?"
38347She did not sleep-- Oh, sir, what is it?"
38347Should I tell her that Doctor Pool was dead?
38347So all is lost?"
38347Some marauder, then, or a detective, like myself?
38347That has failed, has it not?
38347That she was carried out through my grounds?
38347That you feel demonstrated-- or do n''t you?"
38347The cars are coming; do n''t you hear the whistle?
38347The child?
38347The next heir, eh?"
38347The question which kept down my elation was this: Would I be the first man to get there?
38347The reply was impetuous:"How else could she have been spirited away so quickly?
38347Then why do n''t we find her, or-- or her little innocent body?"
38347There was no quarrel, no fight; only hilarity--""Where did the dog come from?"
38347They call it--""Well, well, what do they call it?"
38347To reveal to_ me_, who had no claim upon her but that of friendship, a secret which had not been given to the police?
38347Trevitt?"
38347Trevitt?"
38347Um?"
38347Want your money?
38347Was Gwendolen very fond of sweets?"
38347Was I following the false light of a will- o''-the- wisp?
38347Was I held by something in her manner?
38347Was I playing with her curiosity or anxieties or whatever it was that affected her?
38347Was I wrong in letting her slip from my surveillance?
38347Was anything amiss?
38347Was fate to be appeased by this effort at forgetfulness?
38347Was his accent in uttering this simple phrase peculiar?
38347Was it a totally unbroken partition?
38347Was it a woman''s plea, conscious of the tenderness she appealed to, or only a child''s instinctive grasping after life, just life?
38347Was it affection for her friend which made Mrs. Carew''s always rich voice so very mellow?
38347Was it one she was ready to impart?
38347Was it she who called?
38347Was it so?
38347Was it suicide on the doctor''s part or just pure accident?
38347Was she a true woman or what my fears pictured her-- the scheming, unprincipled abductor of Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?
38347Was she as much moved-- or possibly more moved than myself?
38347Was she in delirium?
38347Was she of common blood, common manners?
38347Was that Miss Graham coming?
38347Was that necklace one bead short?
38347Was the game deeper than I thought?
38347Was this on account of the state of her nerves or mine?
38347We 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?
38347What are we about to discover?
38347What can it be?"
38347What can your little wife be doing?
38347What did I propose to myself?
38347What did it all mean?
38347What did it mean?
38347What did she mean by that"Happy"?
38347What did she think of it?"
38347What did you say your name is?"
38347What do you know of my friends?"
38347What 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?
38347What does it mean, Jupp?
38347What excuse did he give you?
38347What had occurred on that night of innocent enjoyment to disturb or alarm him?
38347What have these miserable lumps of sugar to do with Gwendolen?"
38347What is it?
38347What is it?"
38347What kind of place do you make it out to be; and is there anything here you-- do-- not-- want-- to see?"
38347What made him quake-- he who knew of this dog only by hearsay-- and what, in spite of this fear, gave him such resolution?
38347What was I encouraging this young girl to do?
38347What was I to think of her?
38347What was I to think of myself?
38347What was in the man''s mind?
38347What?"
38347Wheeling about, I threw this question back:"If that is a boy and a stranger, where is Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?"
38347When?
38347Whence, then, did they come into Mrs. Carew''s possession?
38347Where could it come from?
38347Where did you first come upon the wagon which you followed so many hours in the belief that it held Gwendolen Ocumpaugh?"
38347Where shall we look for his child?
38347Where was the wagon found?
38347Who could say she was cold now?
38347Who could see anything but a feeling heart in this woman, beautiful beyond all precedent in her passion and her woe?
38347Who could wonder?
38347Who has dared to send me this?''
38347Who is with it?
38347Who would want to be here?
38347Whose?
38347Why did I not make my bow and go?
38347Why did my muscles tighten instead of relax?
38347Why did they not move me?
38347Why do you play with my anguish?"
38347Why should it?
38347Why should n''t I listen for it?
38347Why, sir, why do you ask?
38347Why, what is the matter?"
38347Why?"
38347Why?"
38347Will you let me try?"
38347Will you oblige me by following me there?"
38347Will you trust yourself to me?
38347Wo n''t Mr. Atwater do?
38347Would I confess the truth to him myself?
38347Would 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?
38347Would I find his attitude changed?
38347Would I meet her at the pavilion?
38347Would his follow?
38347Would no more flashes come?
38347Would she embrace this opportunity to part with it when it came?
38347Would we have noticed since?
38347Would you leave her to bear the full burden of this deception alone?
38347XX"WHAT DO YOU KNOW?"
38347XXIII A CORAL BEAD"What''s that?"
38347XXIV"SHALL I GIVE HIM MY WORD, HARRY?"
38347Years ago?"
38347Yet if I came to make her better?
38347You are convinced of that now, are you not?"
38347You are going back to the bungalow?"
38347You do n''t believe-- you surely can not believe--""That Mrs. Carew is a charming woman?
38347You do not know?"
38347You know that, do you not, madam?"
38347You know them?
38347You look as if-- as if--""I had come upon a clue to Gwendolen?
38347You loved her?"
38347You will carry that up to her?"
38347You will go with me?"
38347You wo n''t be long, will you?"
38347You would have thought-- But why all this talk about Mrs. Carew?
38347You, a messenger from Mrs. Ocumpaugh?
38347[ Illustration:"GWENDOLEN HERE?"
38347and not once Gwendolen?
38347and were the wheels she heard only those of Mrs. Carew''s departing carriage?
38347are you coming?"
38347at the first word?
38347but do you think I shall stop because of that?"
38347dead at the first glance?
38347he asked;"when you were in the pavilion, I mean?"
38347how can you say that?
38347she interrupted"Where is the child?
38347this babe I had loved as my own flesh and blood!--in the river where she had been forbidden to go?"
38347what is that the man in the boat is holding up?
38347who are these?"
20071''As yer brought news of Sue, boy?
20071''Ave he missed me yet?

20071And did she ever make you go a little, tiny bit in front of her?
20071And did she tell you the names of the poor little critters?
20071And had that''ere Harris much money?

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

20071Certainly; but where is the boy?
20071Cinderella,he said,"am I to act as yer prince or not?"
20071Connie back?
20071Connie 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?"
20071Connie, Connie-- where are we?
20071Connie, if we can unpick the lock and get the door open, where shall we go?
20071Connie, wot were that as I read last?
20071Connie,he said after a minute,"be yer really meanin''to spend the night with me?"
20071Connie,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?"
20071Connie?

20071Do you think that matters?
20071Do you think, by chance, that his name was Harvey?
20071Ef yer please, parson, may I speak to yer''bout Giles and me?
20071Eh?

20071You have news of her?

20071You surely do n''t mean little Connie Harris? 20071 You wo n''t say?
20071You 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?"
20071You would n''t tell a lie, would you, girl?
20071You''d win the V. C., Ronald, would n''t you, now?

20071Ai n''t it natural that Mrs. Warren should want yer to stay now she ha''got yer?
20071Ai n''t it now?"
20071Ai n''t yer hin luck not to be in prison, and ai n''t that a subject for rejoicing?
20071All those things quite forgot?"
20071An''did yer never read that most touching story of the consumptive gel called the''May Queen''?
20071And am I to have naught but grumbles for my pains?
20071And does she find it wery beautiful?"
20071And ef poor, ugly Mammy Warren''ave made herself still uglier for yer sweet sakes,''oo can but love''er for the ennoblin''deed?
20071And may I ax how old you are, my love?"
20071And now, do n''t you feel very anxious about your father and your old friends?"

20071And when''ull she be back?"
20071And where are the stones?
20071And would Father John look for her?
20071And would her own people ever find her?
20071And you would n''t like to give her a kiss fur me?"
20071And''oo''s he?"
20071And''ow''s Giles?"
20071Are you taking me to him?"
20071Are you?
20071As soon as she entered the room he said one word to her--"When?"
20071Be yer fond o''poetry yerself, Agnes?"
20071But I ca n''t remember where the country is-- can you, Connie?"
20071But about Sue?
20071But do you want me to help you?"

20071But now, wot do you think of it all?"

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