2775Am I never to have a chance?"
2775And have I, I wonder, given the due impression of how his life was portioned and his time laid out?
2775And is n''t it incredible that during all that time Edward and Leonora never spoke a word to each other in private?
2775And is n''t it odd to think that if your wife had n''t been my husband''s mistress, you would probably never have been here at all?"
2775And so her eyes asked:"Is this man trustworthy in money matters; is he likely to try to play the lover; is he likely to let his women be troublesome?
2775And then Leonora opened her eyes and said almost coldly:"And you?
2775And then, as we all properly stage- managed our bewilderment, she continued:"Do n''t you know that is why we were all called Protestants?

2775And why?
2775And, if one does n''t know as much as that about the first thing in the world, what does one know and why is one here?
2775And, one ghastly hot day, he suddenly heard himself say to Leonora:"I say, could n''t we take Mrs Maidan with us to Europe and drop her at Nauheim?"

31112and shall this lust burn on in me Still unconsumed?
31112is there no way for me to jump My middle age and plunge this burning heart Into the icy flood of cold decay?
31112there I pause, for what fine formula can sum the qualities of that same Arthur Dimsdell?
31112thou art in love?
31112what thread of continuity Doth string the whirling incidents of life?
31112why will that Ursula still lag?
31112would ye rune a pore widdy woman by a singing of sech filthy tunes?
31112wouldst thou have our laws contemned As feeble nets to catch the smaller fry And let the great break through?
31112yea, why should I not?
33, said he;is it thou?
33Am I mad? 33 And I!--how am I to live longer, breathing the same air with this deadly enemy?"
33And about what?
33And now what wouldst thou with me touching this man?
33And what am I now?
33And what of him?
33And what other time?
33And what reason is that?
33And wherefore?
33And why not, mother?
33And will he always keep his hand over his heart?
33And will he hold out both his hands to me, as when thou ledst me to him from the brook- side?
33And will the minister be there?
33Art thou like the Black Man that haunts the forest round about us? 33 Art thou my child, in very truth?"
33Ay-- how is that, good Master Dimmesdale?
33Better? 33 But did your reverence hear of the portent that was seen last night?
33But how to avoid it? 33 But where is this mother of thine?
33But wilt thou promise,asked Pearl,"to take my hand, and mother''s hand, to- morrow noontide?"
33Child, what art thou?
33Didst thou ever awake and find thy mother gone?
33Do I feel joy again?
33Do you see that woman with the embroidered badge?
33Dost thou know me so little, Hester Prynne? 33 Dost thou know thy mother now, child?
33Dost thou know, child, wherefore thy mother wears this letter?
33Dost thou mock me now?
33Dost thou not think her beautiful? 33 Dost thou remember me, Hester, as I was nine years agone?
33Dost thou think I have been to the forest so many times, and have yet no skill to judge who else has been there? 33 Dost thou think the child will be glad to know me?"
33Doth he love us?
33Doth the universe lie within the compass of yonder town, which only a little time ago was but a leaf- strewn desert, as lonely as this around us? 33 Has he not paid thee all?"
33Hast thou not tortured him enough?
33Hast thou seen it?
33Hast thou?
33Have you another passenger?
33Hester,said he,"hast thou found peace?"
33How can you question it?
33How knewest thou that I was here?
33I wonder if mother will ask me what it means?
33Is it the Black Man?
33Is not this better,murmured he,"than what we dreamed of in the forest?"
33Is the world, then, so narrow?
33Is the worshipful Governor Bellingham within?
33Mother,said she,"what does the scarlet letter mean?"
33Never, sayest thou?
33Now, what mortal imagination could conceive it?
33Sayest thou so?
33Shall we not meet again?
33Shall we not spend our immortal life together? 33 Tell me, then, what thou art, and who sent thee hither?"
33Then why not reveal it here?
33This woman has brought shame upon us all, and ought to die; is there not law for it? 33 Thou wilt not reveal his name?
33Thy mother is yonder woman with the scarlet letter,said the seaman,"Wilt thou carry her a message from me?"
33Welcome home, reverend sir,said the physician"And how found you that godly man, the Apostle Eliot?
33Were it not better,said he,"that you use my poor skill tonight?
33What choice had you?
33What do we talk of marks and brands, whether on the bodice of her gown or the flesh of her forehead?
33What does the letter mean, mother? 33 What does this sad little brook say, mother?"
33What else could I look for, being what I am, and leading such a life as mine? 33 What evil have I done the man?"
33What evil thing is at hand?
33What has the letter to do with any heart save mine?
33What have we here?
33What have you to do with us?
33What is he?
33What is it that haunts and tempts me thus?
33What is it, good Mistress Hibbins?
33What little bird of scarlet plumage may this be? 33 What mean you?"
33What say you, worshipful Master Bellingham? 33 What see you in my face,"asked the physician,"that you look at it so earnestly?"
33What sent you hither?
33What shall I say?
33What should ail me to harm this misbegotten and miserable babe? 33 What should he say, Pearl,"answered Hester,"save that it was no time to kiss, and that kisses are not to be given in the market- place?
33What wouldst thou say, child?
33Whence come you, Hester?
33Wherefore dost thou desire it?
33Wherefore have all the people left their work to- day? 33 Who is he?
33Who is that man, Hester?
33Who speaks?
33Why dost thou smile so at me?
33Why doth the minister sit yonder?
33Why not announce thyself openly, and cast me off at once?
33Why should not the guilty ones sooner avail themselves of this unutterable solace?
33Why, know you not,cried the shipmaster,"that this physician here-- Chillingworth he calls himself-- is minded to try my cabin- fare with you?
33Why, what is this, mother?
33Will he go back with us, hand in hand, we three together, into the town?
33Will not it come of its own accord when I am a woman grown?
33Wilt thou come across the brook, and own thy mother, now that she has her shame upon her-- now that she is sad?
33Wilt thou die for very weakness? 33 Wilt thou go and play, child?"
33Wilt thou go with us to- night? 33 Wilt thou let me be at peace, if I once tell thee?"
33Wilt thou not frown? 33 Wilt thou stand here with mother and me, to- morrow noontide?"
33Wilt thou yet forgive me?
33Wouldst thou avenge thyself on the innocent babe?
33Yes, mother,answered Pearl,"But if it be the Black Man, wilt thou not let me stay a moment, and look at him, with his big book under his arm?"
33You would tell me, then, that I know all?
33( Had Hester sinned alone?)
33And didst thou ever meet him?
33And does he now summon me to its fulfilment, by suggesting the performance of every wickedness which his most foul imagination can conceive?"
33And dost thou go to meet him in the nighttime?"
33And is this his mark?"
33And thou, Arthur Dimmesdale, dost thou yet live?"
33And was this the man?
33And what hast thou to do with all these iron men, and their opinions?
33And wherefore should it not bring you peace?"
33And whither was he now going?
33And, moreover, is there not a quality of awful sacredness in the relation between this mother and this child?"
33Are my purposes wo nt to be so shallow?
33Are you there?"
33Art thou a Christian child-- ha?
33Art thou in life?"
33Art thou not afraid of nightmares and hideous dreams?"
33But dost thou know, my child, what this letter means which thy mother is doomed to wear?"
33But how gat such a guest into my hall?"
33But how?
33But now thou wilt?"
33But now-- since I am irrevocably doomed-- wherefore should I not snatch the solace allowed to the condemned culprit before his execution?
33But where was his mind?
33But where was little Pearl?
33But who art thou, that meddlest in this matter?
33But who can see an inch into futurity beyond his nose?
33But why does he not wear it outside his bosom, as thou dost, mother?"
33Canst thou do nothing for me?
33Canst thou tell me, my child, who made thee?"
33Could it be true?
33Could there be plainer speech than this?
33Couldst thou surely tell, Hester, whether he was the same man that encountered thee on the forest path?"
33Did I make a contract with him in the forest, and sign it with my blood?
33Did he wish to die?
33Did the sun, which shone so brightly everywhere else, really fall upon him?
33Didst thou ever meet the Black Man, mother?"
33Dost know thy catechism?
33Dost thou know the man?
33Dost thou not see what I would say?
33Dost thou remember me?
33Doth this bring thee no comfort?"
33Doth thy sentence bind thee to wear the token in thy sleep?
33Ha, Hester Prynne?"
33Had Mr. Dimmesdale actually spoken?
33Had seven long years, under the torture of the scarlet letter, inflicted so much of misery and wrought out no repentance?
33Hast thou enticed me into a bond that will prove the ruin of my soul?"
33Hast thou exhausted possibility in the failure of this one trial?
33Hast thou forgotten it?"
33Hath he not pleaded well for the poor woman?"
33Hath she affections?
33Hath she any discoverable principle of being?"
33Hath she not expressed this thought in the garb of the poor child, so forcibly reminding us of that red symbol which sears her bosom?"
33How can it be otherwise?
33How fared it with him, then?
33How is it, Hester?
33How may this be unless you first lay open to him the wound or trouble in your soul?"
33Is Hester Prynne the less miserable, think you, for that scarlet letter on her breast?"
33Is it a play- day for the whole world?
33Is it because, when the minister wrote his name in the book, the Black Man set his mark in that place?
33Is it true, mother?
33Is the imp altogether evil?
33Is there no reality in the penitence thus sealed and witnessed by good works?
33Is there not shade enough in all this boundless forest to hide thy heart from the gaze of Roger Chillingworth?"
33Is there such a Black Man?
33Must I sink down there, and die at once?"
33Must it be thou, or I, that shall deal with this poor sinner''s soul?"
33O Thou to whom I dare not lift mine eyes, wilt Thou yet pardon me?"
33Or art thou one of those naughty elfs or fairies whom we thought to have left behind us, with other relics of Papistry, in merry old England?"
33Or is she an elfish spirit, who, as the legends of our childhood taught us, is forbidden to cross a running stream?
33Or might it suffice him that every wholesome growth should be converted into something deleterious and malignant at his touch?
33Or was there, as it rather seemed, a circle of ominous shadow moving along with his deformity whichever way he turned himself?
33Or would he spread bat''s wings and flee away, looking so much the uglier the higher he rose towards heaven?
33Or, if not, thou strange and elfish child, whence didst thou come?"
33Or, must she receive those intimations-- so obscure, yet so distinct-- as truth?
33Prithee, young one, who art thou, and what has ailed thy mother to bedizen thee in this strange fashion?
33See ye not, she is the scarlet letter, only capable of being loved, and so endowed with a millionfold the power of retribution for my sin?
33Shall I lie down again on these withered leaves, where I cast myself when thou didst tell me what he was?
33So thou thinkest the child will love me?"
33That unsunned snow in the matron''s bosom, and the burning shame on Hester Prynne''s-- what had the two in common?
33Then she spoke aloud--"Silly Pearl,"said she,"what questions are these?
33Then what was he?--a substance?--or the dimmest of all shadows?
33Thou wilt love him-- wilt thou not?"
33Was I not all this?"
33Was existence worth accepting even to the happiest among them?
33Was he weary of his labours?
33Was it but the mockery of penitence?
33Was not the secret told me, in the natural recoil of my heart at the first sight of him, and as often as I have seen him since?
33Were such a man once more to fall, what plea could be urged in extenuation of his crime?
33Were there not the brilliant particles of a halo in the air about his head?
33What can a ruined soul like mine effect towards the redemption of other souls?--or a polluted soul towards their purification?
33What can thy silence do for him, except it tempt him-- yea, compel him, as it were-- to add hypocrisy to sin?
33What canst thou do for the child in this kind?"
33What choice remains to me?
33What did it betoken?
33What have they all come to do, here in the market- place?"
33What is that the minister seeks to hide, with his hand always over his heart?
33What kind of business in life-- what mode of glorifying God, or being serviceable to mankind in his day and generation-- may that be?
33What know I of the minister''s heart?
33What mean you?"
33What say you to it, once again, brother Dimmesdale?
33What sayest thou?"
33What think ye, gossips?
33What was it?
33What were they?
33What will now be the course of his revenge?"
33What would the minister have said, mother?
33What, could he, whose sphere was in great cities, be seeking in the wilderness?
33What, in heaven''s name, is she?
33When hast thou been so sluggish before now?
33When the whole had gone by, she looked up into Hester''s face--"Mother,"said she,"was that the same minister that kissed me by the brook?"
33Where are you?"
33Wherefore should we linger upon it now?
33Whither leads yonder forest- track?
33Who is he?
33Who is he?"
33Who made me so?"
33Whom would they discern there, with the red eastern light upon his brow?
33Why did I not understand?
33Why did we not find it sooner?"
33Why does he do so, mother?"
33Why hast thou not avenged thyself on me?"
33Why shouldst thou tarry so much as one other day in the torments that have so gnawed into thy life?
33Why, then, had he come hither?
33Why, with such rank in the learned world, had he come hither?
33Will he continue, then, to keep our secret?
33Will not my aid be requisite to put you in heart and strength to preach your Election Sermon?"
33Wilt thou forgive?"
33Wilt thou give up that only privilege?
33Wilt thou not love him?
33Wilt thou reject that priceless benefit?"
33Wilt thou ride with me some fine night to see thy father?
33Wilt thou tell her this, thou witch- baby?"
33Wilt thou yet purge it out of thee, and be once more human?
33Would he arouse him with a throb of agony?
33Would he have clapped his hand over his heart, and scowled on me, and bid me begone?"
33Would he startle him with sudden fear?
33Would not the people start up in their seats, by a simultaneous impulse, and tear him down out of the pulpit which he defiled?
33Would you bring infamy on your sacred profession?"
33Would you, therefore, that your physician heal the bodily evil?
33and is it Mistress Hester that has a word for old Roger Chillingworth?"
33and why does the minister keep his hand over his heart?"
33and why dost thou wear it?
33can this be you?
33cried Pearl, after listening awhile to its talk,"Why art thou so sad?
33exclaimed a man in the crowd,"is there no virtue in woman, save what springs from a wholesome fear of the gallows?
33or am I given over utterly to the fiend?
33that dares thrust himself between the sufferer and his God?"
33that have made thee feeble to will and to do?
33that will leave thee powerless even to repent?
33what is your purpose?"
33what right had infirmity like his to burden itself with crime?
33why dost thou not come to me?"
27575A great deal?
27575Am I not a member of the consulting commission?
27575And give me----"Will he never go?
27575And how do you think I can ride when I have n''t got a habit?
27575And how''s the little woman?
27575And since when?
27575And who would be surprised at it, gentlemen? 27575 Are we ready?
27575Are you a Christian?
27575Are you deaf?
27575Are you going?
27575Are you ill? 27575 Are you in love?"
27575Are you looking for anything?
27575Are you sure?
27575Are you the doctor?
27575Are you waiting for him for your gentlemen''s dinner?
27575At any rate, you have some walks in the neighborhood?
27575But is it ever found?
27575But what can I do?
27575But where are we going?
27575But why,asked Bovary,"does that gentleman persecute her?"
27575Can I see the doctor?
27575Can he suspect anything?
27575Can you not guess?
27575Dancing?
27575Did I know I should accompany you?
27575Did you think you''d got a virgin?
27575Do I love you-- love you? 27575 Do you feel unwell?"
27575Do you feel unwell?
27575Do you know what your wife wants?
27575Do you love me? 27575 Do you not know that there are souls constantly tormented?
27575Do you think so?
27575Does this amuse you?
27575Everything is ready?
27575For,said he to Emma,"what risk is there?
27575From your husband? 27575 Have n''t they tortured you enough already?
27575Have you any business to attend to?
27575Have you been to the opera?
27575Have you carefully weighed your resolution? 27575 Have you given her warning for good?"
27575Have you your pistols?
27575How are you?
27575How are you?
27575How could that be possible?
27575How have I displeased her?
27575How much are they?
27575How so?
27575How will he live at Paris? 27575 I?
27575If I told her all my fortune is lost? 27575 In what way?
27575Is it because you are going away?
27575Is she making fun of me?
27575It is at the Hôtel de Provence, is it not, that you will wait for me at mid- day?
27575It is indigestion, no doubt? 27575 Léon?"
27575Music? 27575 No; why?"
27575Now how am I to sign?
27575Oh, what does that matter?
27575So you are at Rouen?
27575The doctor is not here?
27575Then you are giving it up?
27575These first warm days weaken one most remarkably, do n''t they? 27575 Thus we,"he said,"why did we come to know one another?
27575To be sure,replied Homais;"but what can you expect?
27575Unless,he added, turning to his wife,"you would like to stay alone, pussy?"
27575Well, is she there?
27575Well, what the deuce do I care for that?
27575What are you looking for?
27575What can I do for you, Monsieur le Curé?
27575What cheese?
27575What does it matter?
27575What does it matter?
27575What is a Christian?
27575What is it?
27575What is that for?
27575What is the matter with you?
27575What is the matter?
27575What is to become of me? 27575 What news?"
27575What recreation?
27575What surprises you in that? 27575 What''s the matter with Père Tellier?
27575What''s the meaning of that?
27575What, indeed?
27575What?
27575What?
27575What?
27575Where is Catherine Leroux?
27575Where is the curé?
27575Where were you brought up?
27575Wherever are you? 27575 Who told you?"
27575Why did he go back to the Bertaux now that Monsieur Rouault was cured and that these folks had n''t paid yet? 27575 Why did n''t you bring her?"
27575Why do n''t you tell master?
27575Why these festoons, these flowers, these garlands? 27575 Why, do you smoke?"
27575Why, have n''t you ever seen anything?
27575Why, what?
27575Why,asked the chemist,"should she excommunicate actors?
27575Why,he went on,"allow oneself to be intruded upon by others?
27575Why? 27575 Why?"
27575Why?
27575Why?
27575Why?
27575Why?
27575Will you leave me alone?
27575Will you take something? 27575 Would you be so good,"said the lady,"as to pick up my fan that has fallen behind the sofa?"
27575Yes, I am a Christian?
27575You are forgetting nothing?
27575You are going on a journey?
27575You have n''t loved any others?
27575You here? 27575 You play?"
27575Your music subscription is out; am I to renew it?
27575Yours devotedly?'' 27575 ''Your friend?'' 27575 A glass of wine?
27575A thimbleful of_ cassis_?
27575After this, what do the names"romanticism"or"classicism"signify?
27575Again, is it not the agriculturist who fattens, for our clothes, his abundant flocks in the pastures?
27575And as soon as they were alone,"Why do n''t you accept Monsieur Boulanger''s kind offer?"
27575And coming closer to him:"What ill could come to me?
27575And for what?
27575And for whom?
27575And how is Monsieur Bovary?"
27575And if he confessed that he had not thought of her, there were floods of reproaches that always ended with the eternal question:"Do you love me?"
27575And what about Monsieur Binet?
27575And what else was there?
27575And what importance has it in sculpture, for example, or in painting?
27575And where?
27575And who knows?
27575And why had he come back?
27575And why not?
27575And yet, why should my heart be so heavy?
27575And you?"
27575And, gentlemen, is it even necessary to go so far for examples?
27575Are they not the one beautiful thing on the earth, the source of heroism, of enthusiasm, of poetry, music, the arts, of everything, in a word?"
27575As he was to finish reading there, why not set out at once?
27575But how tell an undefinable uneasiness, variable as the clouds, unstable as the winds?
27575But the tradesman cried out that she was wrong; they knew one another; did he doubt her?
27575But what does Monsieur Bovary think of it?"
27575But what does agriculture matter to you?
27575But what, then, made her so unhappy?
27575But, inversely, if all art is concentrated upon the representation, what matters the subject?
27575By what means?
27575CRITICISMS On Romantic Literature in France MISCELLANY Quidquid volueris?
27575Can it be?
27575Did not love, like Indian plants, need a special soil, a particular temperature?
27575Do n''t I know all about it?"
27575Do they think the prefect will be glad to dine down there under a tent like a gipsy?
27575Do you know me?
27575Do you know that I count the hours?
27575Do you know to what an abyss I was dragging you, poor angel?
27575Do you think about it?
27575Do you understand anything about it?"
27575Does a name matter?
27575Emma continued,"And what music do you prefer?"
27575For he certainly is her father, is n''t he-- the ugly little man with a cock''s feather in his hat?"
27575For how should we clothe ourselves, how nourish ourselves, without the agriculturist?
27575For whose sake, then, was she virtuous?
27575Had she not suffered enough?
27575Had they nothing else to say to one another?
27575Has form indeed all the importance in literature that Flaubert claimed for it?
27575Have I any?
27575Have I done right?
27575Have I not my house to look after, my husband to attend to, a thousand things, in fact, many duties that must be considered first?"
27575He added,"Shall I pick some?
27575He asked himself--"Where shall we meet?
27575He continued:"And what should I do here, gentlemen, pointing out to you the uses of agriculture?
27575He rose to go; and as if the movement he made had been the signal for their flight, Emma said, suddenly, assuming a gay air--"You have the passports?"
27575He said:"What was the matter with you?
27575He went on--"And you''re out so early?"
27575Her husband, was he not something belonging to her?
27575Hippolyte looked at him with eyes full of terror, sobbing--"When shall I get well?
27575Homais went on:"Do you think that to be an agriculturist it is necessary to have tilled the earth or fattened fowls oneself?
27575How had she lost it?
27575How many years is it since you approached the holy table?
27575How then had he been able to explain, and in such language, the number of things that he could not have said so well before?
27575How was it that she-- she, who was so intelligent-- could have allowed herself to be deceived again?
27575How weak I am, am I not?
27575How?
27575How?"
27575I ask myself, where is he?
27575I give to humanity what it gives to me--_indifference!_"Is not the link between Flaubert''s"indifference"and his conception of art evident here?
27575I have been ill.""Seriously?"
27575I love you so that I could not live without you, do you see?
27575I may count on you, may I not, and quickly?"
27575I shall be something in your thought, in your life, shall I not?"
27575Is he not in love?"
27575Is it dread of the unknown?
27575Is it my fault?
27575Is it not the agriculturist?
27575Is it not time to cry that the blind shall see, the deaf hear, the lame walk?
27575Is one animal or plant more interesting than another to the naturalist?
27575Is there a single sentiment it does not condemn?
27575It is extremely curious, is it not?"
27575It is oxalic acid, is n''t it?"
27575Monsieur Boulanger, you are deserting us?"
27575No, you do not, do you?
27575Of what had they spoken when it lay upon the wide- manteled chimneys between flower- vases and Pompadour clocks?
27575Oh, why had not she, like this woman, resisted, implored?
27575Or did she wish by a sort of voluptuous stoicism to feel the more profoundly the bitterness of the things she was about to leave?
27575Or later, when he studied medicine, and never had his purse full enough to treat some little work- girl who would have become his mistress?
27575Or rather----?
27575Rodolphe had drawn nearer to Emma, and said to her in a low voice, speaking rapidly:"Does not this conspiracy of the world revolt you?
27575Shall we ever have the means to send him to a public school, to buy him a practice, or to start him in business?
27575She even asked herself why she detested Charles; if it had not been better to have been able to love him?
27575She nodded her head in assent; then a quarter of an hour later--"Are you going out to- night?"
27575She repeated:"Where are the horses?
27575She said to her child,"Is your stomach- ache better, my angel?"
27575Should we not change the name of this to"egotism"or"insensibility?"
27575That''s a good sign is n''t it?"
27575The Viscount''s?
27575The chemist went on--"Who asked you to come?
27575The effect of habits left?
27575Then he asked himself what would become of her-- if she would be married, and to whom?
27575Then he attacked him through his vanity:--"Are n''t you a man?
27575Then she would have to be sent to a boarding- school; that would cost much; how was it to be done?
27575Then suddenly--"So you love him?"
27575Then turning on his chair:"Any news at home?"
27575Then, bethinking himself,"But you were asking me something?
27575Then, do n''t you think that perhaps her imagination should be worked upon?"
27575Then, when he was at the door,"By the way, do you know the news?"
27575Thus, as a precaution, what is to prevent you from saying morning and evening a''Hail Mary, full of grace,''and''Our Father which art in heaven''?
27575To- morrow, at six o''clock?"
27575Until now what good had he had of his life?
27575Was it for this, however, that his visits to the farm formed a delightful exception to the meagre occupations of his life?
27575Was it the better to deceive them both?
27575Was this a good, and in this discovery was there not more of injury than of gain?
27575What chance willed it?
27575What do you think?"
27575What do you wish?"
27575What does it matter?
27575What friends?
27575What help is to be hoped for, what consolation, what solace?"
27575What prevented him?
27575What prevented it?"
27575What restrained her?
27575What should they decide?
27575What was it that thus set so far asunder the morning of the day before yesterday and the evening of to- day?
27575What was it?
27575What was the extraordinary catastrophe that had transformed her?
27575What was the good of playing?
27575What was the good?
27575What was this Paris like?
27575What was to be done since she rejected all medical treatment?
27575What were they doing now?
27575Where are the horses?
27575Where are the horses?"
27575Where could she find it?
27575Where should he go to practise?
27575Where the devil does she come from?
27575Where, indeed, is to be found more patriotism than in the country, greater devotion to the public welfare, more intelligence, in a word?
27575Wherever did this fat fellow pick her up?"
27575Whither hurries this crowd like the waves of a furious sea under the torrents of a tropical sun pouring its heat upon our heads?"
27575Who cares for me?"
27575Who is to prevent me?"
27575Who provides our means of subsistence?
27575Who supplies our wants?
27575Who would hear her?
27575Whose was it?
27575Why cry out against the passions?
27575Why did I ever know you?
27575Why did he always offer a glass of something to every one who came?
27575Why did the doctor''s wife give the clerk presents?
27575Why had she not seized this happiness when it came to her?
27575Why not end it all?
27575Why not have kept hold of it with both hands, with both knees, when it was about to flee from her?
27575Why were you so beautiful?
27575Why, for example, should not your husband relieve poor Hippolyte of the''Lion d''Or''?
27575Why?
27575Why?
27575Why?"
27575Will he get used to it?"
27575Will you promise me?"
27575With me?"
27575Would any one believe that a simple sternutation could produce such ravages on a quadrupedal organism?
27575Would she never issue from it?
27575Would they not have a right to apply to the police if the librarian persisted all the same in his poisonous trade?
27575Would this misery last forever?
27575Yes; but how get rid of her afterwards?"
27575You here?"
27575always busy at what?
27575and through what deplorable madness had she thus ruined her life by continual sacrifices?
27575and your friends?"
27575for what?
27575he repeated,"How did you manage to come?
27575replied the good fellow, quite astonished,"does n''t he prescribe something for you?"
27575she answered,"what does it matter?"
27575she asked herself;"but with whom?
27575she went on;"because you are leaving what is dear to you-- your life?
27575what was the good?
27575what would you have done if you had had to go into the army, to go and fight beneath the standard?
27575who knows?"
27575who knows?"
27575why did I marry?"
27575will you leave off?"
27575you did n''t know it?
27575you here?"
27575you think so?"
42395A downy old bird, eh?
42395Acting like what?
42395After three years?
42395Alive still?
42395Am I boney?
42395Am I to shake him by the hand and slap him on the back?
42395And d''you think it''s comfortable to sleep with a mask on your face?
42395And do you think I did n''t love Hughie?
42395And had no sense of honour, duty, or decency?
42395And have we suffered all in vain?
42395And he?
42395And how am I to treat him?
42395And if the husbands ca n''t afford it?
42395And since then?
42395And this?
42395And who''s that?
42395And you-- are you going to stay long, father?
42395And you?
42395Are n''t their clothes funny?
42395Are n''t you homesick sometimes?
42395Are these the manners of the young men of to- day?
42395Are we playing bridge, or talking politics?
42395Are you a little nervous?
42395Are you cross with me?
42395Are you going to reproach me because I loved you?
42395Are you in love with some one?
42395Are you interested in China?
42395Are you interested in symbolism?
42395Are you really?
42395Are you shocked?
42395Are you staying long?
42395Are you sure you want me to be here?
42395Are you under the impression I''m going to sacrifice my career for a whim of yours?
42395Are you very much in love with Mr. Luton?
42395Are you?
42395Arnold did that?
42395Besides, it''s not very good form, is it?
42395But has love never entered your life?
42395But how does that make it any better?
42395But supposing it does n''t come off?
42395But what is it precisely that you suggest?
42395But why in God''s name do you call it bridge?
42395By the way, do you want Lady Kitty and Lord Porteous to be here?
42395C.-C. Am I hurting your feelings?
42395C.-C. And if she loved what d''you think she felt when she saw that she had ruined Hughie?
42395C.-C. And why have we been left alone in this very marked manner?
42395C.-C. Are n''t you going to shake hands with me, Hughie?
42395C.-C. Are you happy with Arnold?
42395C.-C. As soon as that?
42395C.-C. D''you mean to say you have n''t got a bathroom?
42395C.-C. Do n''t you know?
42395C.-C. Do you think we really need bother about Arnold?
42395C.-C. How are you, Arnold?
42395C.-C. How do you do?
42395C.-C. How old are you?
42395C.-C. Is he addressing a meeting?
42395C.-C. Is she?
42395C.-C. Teddie Luton?
42395C.-C. Tell me frankly, Kitty, do n''t you think people make a lot of unnecessary fuss about love?
42395C.-C. That?
42395C.-C. Well, you did run away with my wife, did n''t you?
42395C.-C. Well?
42395C.-C. What are they doing?
42395C.-C. What is that?
42395C.-C. Who''s Lady Catherine?
42395C.-C. Why have n''t you got any babies?
42395C.-C. Will it make it easier for you?
42395C.-C. You were never much of a piquet player, were you?
42395C.-C.[_ Going up to him cordially._] And how are you, my dear Hughie?
42395C.-C.[_ Kissing her._] You do n''t mind, Hughie?
42395C.-C.[_ To LADY KITTY._] And what do you think of Arnold?
42395Ca n''t you find it?
42395Can I have a little talk with you, Elizabeth?
42395Can you forgive me?
42395Can you imagine that that was a brilliant young man, whom everyone expected to be Prime Minister?
42395Clive?
42395Could n''t you put the other people off?
42395D''you like me enough to answer my question?
42395D''you like my nose?
42395D''you think he really would have shot himself?
42395D''you think he was talking at you?
42395Did the poor like it?
42395Did you ever find out if she really did?
42395Did you ever hear it?
42395Did you ring, sir?
42395Did you tell him Lady Catherine was coming?
42395Did_ you_ expect her to be like that, poor dear?
42395Do n''t you think that''ll settle itself when you see them?
42395Do n''t you think there''ll be an awful bother?
42395Do n''t you think we''d get on rather well together?
42395Do you declare without top honours?
42395Do you love that man as much as all that?
42395Do you mean to say you do n''t use a lip- stick?
42395Do you mean to say you were going to steal my car?
42395Do you mind if I kiss you?
42395Do you mind if we talk it over now?
42395Do you mind my divorcing you?
42395Do you play bridge?
42395Do you really think it was worth sacrificing so much for?
42395Do you really think that?
42395Do you remember how we used to sit on the terrace of the old castle and look at the Adriatic?
42395Do you remember the first time we went?
42395Do you take sugar?
42395Do you think I''d be able to hold it if I were in a divorce case?
42395Do you think friends like that are worth having?
42395Do you think he did n''t love me?
42395Do you think he was like that thirty years ago?
42395Do you think he would?
42395Do you think it was a very honourable thing to come down here and make love to my wife?
42395Do you think it''s been a success?
42395Do you think it''s been a success?
42395Do you think there''d be any more happiness for you than for me?
42395Do you think they were more beautiful then than they are now?
42395Do you think your influence would have had such a salutary effect on her?
42395Does it mean as much to you as that?
42395Does my unhappiness mean nothing to you?
42395Does n''t my love mean anything to you?
42395Does she want to run away with him?
42395Does that old fool know I''m in love with you?
42395Everything all right?
42395Go where?
42395Good design, is n''t it?
42395Had it ever struck you?
42395Has it struck you that you''re destroying my home and breaking up my happiness?
42395Have I changed?
42395Have we?
42395Have you any money of your own?
42395Have you central heating?
42395Have you ever tried to?
42395Have you no feeling for her at all?
42395Have you seen him?
42395Have you thought of me at all?
42395He hesitates on seeing that ELIZABETH is not in the room._ C.-C. What is it?
42395He is so breezy, is n''t he?
42395He sees that something has happened._ When would it be convenient for you to leave this house?
42395He''s grown, has n''t he?
42395Hepplewhite?
42395How can I accept such a sacrifice?
42395How can you talk such nonsense, Hughie?
42395How could she know?
42395How could they bear it?
42395How d''you do, my dear?
42395How d''you do?
42395How did he go then?
42395How do you expect me to take it?
42395How do you know she would n''t be just the same now if she''d remained your wife?
42395How long do you suppose he''s been getting tight every night?
42395How long have you been thinking of this?
42395How old are you now, Arnold?
42395How the devil are you the injured party?
42395How the devil can you expect him to know that, Kitty?
42395How will it do that?
42395How?
42395Hughie, do you think Arnold takes after me or after his father?
42395Hughie, what shall I do?
42395I do n''t think there''s much love lost between them now, do you?
42395I meant, how long are you going to stay down here?
42395I say, I think I''d better clear out at once, do n''t you?
42395I say, can you shoot?
42395I say, what about this tennis?
42395I think it was a good buy, do n''t you?
42395I wonder if you''ve been making it difficult?
42395I?
42395If I had my time over again do you think I''d do it again?
42395If I''m willing to let bygones be bygones why should you object?
42395If you think that, why the devil did you leave him?
42395If you''re not going to say"Damn"when a thing''s damnable, when are you going to say"Damn"?
42395Irony?
42395Is anything up?
42395Is he coming along here?
42395Is he well?
42395Is he your lover?
42395Is it my fault?
42395Is it true that you want to marry Elizabeth?
42395Is n''t it absurd that I should ask my son if he takes sugar or not?
42395Is n''t it fun being in love with some one who''s in love with you?
42395Is n''t it hateful to grow old?
42395Is n''t she playing tennis?
42395Is n''t that what you call a high degree of civilisation?
42395Is that a letter?
42395Is that the sort of woman a man would like his mother to be?
42395Is the"Champion Arms"the local pub?
42395Is there any chance of bridge this evening?
42395Is there anything else you wish to say to me?
42395It has n''t made my eyelashes run, has it?
42395It''ll smash up your career, will it?
42395It''s not half- past one already, is it?
42395It''s not touched up, is it?
42395It''s ripping here, is n''t it?
42395Lend me yours, darling, will you?
42395Look here, Kitty, how much longer do you want to stay here?
42395Lord Porteous?
42395Mathematics?
42395My charm?
42395My dear child, what_ are_ you talking about?
42395My dear, you do n''t think I''d have let you bury yourself in Western Australia?
42395My poor child, how can you be so ridiculous?
42395Nice- looking, is n''t he?
42395Oh, Elizabeth, do n''t you love me at all?
42395Oh, but are n''t they laced in?
42395Oh, is n''t life rotten?
42395Oh, they lived here?
42395Oh, what have I done?
42395Oh?
42395Perfectly hideous, was n''t it?
42395Perhaps your mother could n''t help herself-- if she was in love?
42395Shall I break up your home?
42395Shall I pour it out for you?
42395Shall we go for a stroll in the garden?
42395Shall we?
42395She is crying._[_ In consternation._] My dear, what''s the matter?
42395Should n''t I have been Prime Minister, Clive?
42395So interesting, heredity, is n''t it?
42395So what are you talking nonsense for?
42395Tell me, would you have known me again?
42395Then how can you stand on your own feet?
42395Then she looks at LADY KITTY._] They''ve told you?
42395Then why the devil did n''t you look after her properly?
42395Then why the devil did you say you did n''t?
42395This is an actress, is n''t it?
42395Was it beastly?
42395We have n''t very much in common, Arnold, have we?
42395Well, now you''ve seen her what do you think of her?
42395Were they surprised when you told them?
42395What about?
42395What are we going to do about it?
42395What are you going to say to him?
42395What are you going to say to him?
42395What could I do?
42395What could you be?
42395What do you do with yourself all the time?
42395What do you mean by that?
42395What do you say to making a bee- line for Italy and going to San Michele?
42395What does he say?
42395What exactly are you getting at?
42395What for?
42395What has he been saying to you?
42395What is it?
42395What is that?
42395What is that?
42395What is the matter?
42395What makes a prison?
42395What on earth for?
42395What sort is the right sort?
42395What sort of a life do you think it would be with him?
42395What sort of a life do you think we should lead?
42395What the devil d''you think she wants muck like that for?
42395What was Arnold''s majority at the last election?
42395What was he like then?
42395What were they having actions about?
42395What would be the good of my staying with you when I should be wretched all the time?
42395What would you do if I were married to you and came and told you I loved somebody else and wanted to leave you?
42395What''s the matter?
42395What?
42395What?
42395What?
42395What_ have_ you been doing?
42395What_ is_ the matter, Hughie?
42395When a lady sent for him?
42395When are you going back to the F.M.S.?
42395When do you expect Lord Porteous and Lady Kitty?
42395When is she coming?
42395When will Arnold be back, Elizabeth?
42395Where is Arnold?
42395Where is Lord Porteous?
42395Where is Lord Porteous?
42395Where is he?
42395Where''s Mrs. Shenstone?
42395Who is supposed to look after this room?
42395Who on earth is that?
42395Who revoked?
42395Who would have thought that animation would turn into such frivolity, and that charming impulsiveness lead to such a ridiculous affectation?
42395Who?
42395Who?
42395Whose hash are you talking about?
42395Why ca n''t one be happy without making other people unhappy?
42395Why d''you have such damnable roads in England?
42395Why did n''t you?
42395Why did you come back the moment they arrived?
42395Why do n''t you call him-- Uncle Hughie?
42395Why not?
42395Why should I?
42395Why should he suffer for it?
42395Why should n''t I be?
42395Why should you lie on the bed you''ve made if you do n''t want to?
42395Why should you wish to keep a woman tied to you who wants to be free?
42395Why, the moment you come into a room everyone looks and says:"Who the devil is that?"
42395Why?
42395Why?
42395Why?
42395Will Arnold let you divorce him?
42395Will they suffer all we suffered?
42395Will you?
42395With my beauty?
42395Wo n''t you call me Teddie?
42395Wo n''t you tell me what she was like?
42395Wo n''t you?
42395Would Lord Porteous mind going down and asking him to come here?
42395Would n''t you like to see it again-- just once more?
42395Would you have the very great kindness to mind your own business?
42395Would you like me to clear out?
42395Would you like to come for a little stroll, Hughie?
42395Would you like to see your rooms?
42395Yes, but when you were grown up?
42395Yes?
42395You could have got a job in England if you''d wanted to, could n''t you?
42395You do n''t mind, Arnold?
42395You mean that if need be you could earn your own living?
42395You think that, do you?
42395You wo n''t be cross with me?
42395You wo n''t let anyone influence you?
42395You would never have guessed, would you?
42395You''re alone, Elizabeth?
42395You''re not angry with me?
42395You''re not saying it just to please me?
42395You''re rather emotional, are n''t you?
42395You''ve never had a child, Hughie; how can you tell what they know and what they do n''t?
42395[_ A pause._ Do you know that I''m awfully in love with you?
42395[_ As they are going, in a whisper._] Did you do that on purpose?
42395[_ As though returning from a distant world._] Who?
42395[_ Astounded._] Me?
42395[_ CHAMPION- CHENEY comes in from the garden._ C.-C. Do I intrude?
42395[_ Enchanted._] Oh, Hughie, how can you talk such nonsense?
42395[_ Furiously._] Am I playing this patience, or are you playing it?
42395[_ Happily._] Pull the other leg next time, will you?
42395[_ He follows ANNA through the window._ C.-C. Who is that young man?
42395[_ He goes out._ C.-C. Would you like to play piquet with me, Hughie?
42395[_ He sees MRS. SHENSTONE._] Oh, Anna, do you know where Elizabeth is?
42395[_ Her voice faltering._] D''you think there''s anything you can say to me that I do n''t know already?
42395[_ Indignantly._] How do you mean, you got it out of the garage?
42395[_ Innocently._] Oh, was that your ace, darling?
42395[_ Intrigued._] Why did he go, Clive?
42395[_ Looking at him suspiciously._] Why are you saying all this to me?
42395[_ Nervously._] D''you like this chair?
42395[_ Pointing to her frock._] Callot?
42395[_ Shaking hands with him._] How d''you do?
42395[_ She hunts about in her mind for something to do or say._] Would you like my lip- stick?
42395[_ She takes the album over to her impulsively._] Why did n''t you tell me you looked like that?
42395[_ Smiling._] How much would you give for a nice motor accident that prevented them from coming?
42395[_ Smiling._] What''s wrong with England?
42395[_ Startled._] Where?
42395[_ Stopping._] What?
42395[_ Surprised, rather amused, and delighted._] Hughie, you do n''t mean to say you''re jealous of poor Clive?
42395[_ Taken aback._] But do you mean to say he fell in love with anyone else?
42395[_ Taking no notice._] Will she expect me to kiss her?
42395[_ They wait in silence._ Why did you insist on my mother coming here?
42395[_ To ANNA._] Do you know her?
42395[_ To ELIZABETH._] Are you interested in religion?
42395[_ To ELIZABETH._] Did you want me?
42395[_ To ELIZABETH._] Do you act?
42395[_ To ELIZABETH._] Do you remember?
42395[_ To ELIZABETH._] Has he ever spoken to you about Lady Kitty?
42395[_ Trying to contain himself._] Must you trump my ace?
42395[_ Turning to PORTEOUS._] Hughie, is n''t she adorable?
42395[_ Who has been adding up._] I''ll put it down in the book, shall I?
42395[_ With a chuckle._] Am I mistaken in thinking you''re not very easy to please?
42395[_ With a grunt._] Yes?
42395[_ With a smile._] How can you prevent me?
42395[_ With a sudden look at him._] Have you done it on purpose?
42395[_ With consternation._] My dear, what''s to be done?
42395[_ With flashing eyes._] D''you think I would have buried myself in Western Australia?
42395[_ With sudden suspicion._] What do you mean by that?
42395is n''t Lord Porteous here?
42395what''s the meaning of all this?
42395when they''re at home?
42395why do n''t you leave me alone?
32432A woman?
32432About what, Ted?
32432Amy, dear,--his voice choked--"oh,_ does n''t_ it seem too good to be true?"
32432And does n''t Mildred''s mother--?
32432And does n''t it occur to Deane,she asked pleasantly,"that that is rather a strange thing to ask of you?"
32432And father?
32432And is that what you think, Ted?
32432And it''s just his sympathetic nature, is n''t it? 32432 And just what is it you propose that I do?"
32432And may I ask,--her voice was high, tight,--"if you see nothing insulting to your wife in this-- proposal?"
32432And now for two years we-- haven''t been married?
32432And they were different, were they, Ted?
32432And this man?--how old is he?
32432And what do you mean by_ that_?
32432And what if I''m not?
32432And what is the trouble?
32432And why not?
32432And you are n''t afraid of me?
32432And you can sympathize with--_like_--a person who would do that?
32432And you say people are really-- talking about Mildred, Ted?
32432And you''re going to keep such a person in your house?
32432And--?
32432Are they married now?
32432Because she is going to see Ruth Holland?
32432Been tea- tattling all this time?
32432Business has n''t gone very well, has it, Ted?
32432But after all what is society, Edith?
32432But it is pretty bad, is n''t it?
32432But what are you going to do, Ruth?
32432But what are you going to put in the place of that social world, Mildred?
32432But what could we do, Ruth?
32432But why should you_ care_? 32432 But you have all evening to talk that over, have n''t you?"
32432Ca n''t you tell me, Ruth?
32432Coming to bed?
32432Coming up to talk to me? 32432 Could n''t you?"
32432Could you care for me at all, Ruth?
32432Deane,she began timidly,"I don''t-- in any way-- for any reason-- make things hard for you, do I?"
32432Deane?
32432Did she?
32432Did you have a-- comfortable trip?
32432Do n''t go to Edith with any worries, will you? 32432 Do n''t you ever_ feel_?"
32432Do n''t you know that something will happen to you?
32432Do n''t you think, Ruth,she coaxed,"that you''d like to come out and play with my baby?"
32432Do n''t you think, Stuart,she asked, her voice low,"that the future is rather too important a thing to be given up to ratifying the past?"
32432Do you know what people would say about me? 32432 Do you know, young man, that you''ve said things to me that are outrageous to have said?"
32432Does n''t she see that Ruth ought to be here?
32432Does she know anything about Ruth?
32432Edith?
32432Fearfully cold?
32432Funny about it, is n''t it? 32432 Getting-- what do you mean, Ted?"
32432Got that letter?
32432Guess you''re tired tonight, are n''t you?
32432Had n''t you better hurry?
32432Had you supposed, when you all knew her, when she was in your crowd, that she was-- that kind of a person?
32432Harriett,Ruth began timidly,"wo n''t you come in my room a little while and-- talk?"
32432Have n''t you any humanity?
32432Have you no feeling?
32432Have you thought of what people would say?
32432He--? 32432 Hello, Deane,"he said, coming out to him;"thinking of coming in?"
32432Hello,he said,"where y''goin''?"
32432Her mother died just about a year after Ruth-- left, did n''t she?
32432How does she look?
32432How''s that?
32432I presume it was suggested to you?
32432I said to myself,Ted went on,"''What''s_ she_ getting out of it?''"
32432I suppose she ca n''t claim,Ted cried hotly,"that it hurts him as a doctor?"
32432I think I''d better come to bed, do n''t you, honey?
32432I think,he said,"that we can get off by the fifteenth, do n''t you, Ruth?"
32432I''ve not been very good for your life, have I, Deane?
32432Indeed?
32432Insulting?
32432Insulting?
32432Is that a way of saying he was married?
32432Is this a threat?
32432Is this all you_ want_ from life?
32432It can be made to sound ridiculous, ca n''t it?
32432It makes a difference who it is, does n''t it?
32432It really made a big difference, did it, Ted?--even for you?
32432It was about as bad as it could be for you all, was n''t it?
32432It would n''t be so bad, would it, Ruth?
32432It''s her husband that your friend is living with, is n''t it?
32432It''s love that counts, is n''t it,--Ruth?
32432It''s pretty bad, is n''t it, Ted?
32432Just a collection of individuals, is n''t it? 32432 Just how-- different?"
32432Just what do you mean?
32432Just what is it?
32432Just why would we be getting married, Stuart?
32432Look here, Ruth,he turned sharply to her after a little,"have you thought of the position this puts_ me_ in?
32432Marion,he asked, and his voice shook now,"does n''t it ever seem to you that life is too valuable to throw away like this?"
32432Mrs. Franklin not home yet?
32432Mrs.--?
32432Need she have done that, Ted?
32432No?
32432Not keen for your brother- in- law, Ted?
32432Now you''ll be very, very careful, girls?
32432Oh, come now, Amy, you did n''t think, did you, that you could marry a man of thirty- four who had never loved any woman?
32432Oh, come now, Deane,she laughed,"we''re not going to get into an absurd discussion, are we?"
32432Oh, she''s really sick then, is she?
32432Oh,_ did_ they, Ted?
32432Oh,_ was_ she, Ted?
32432Oh?
32432People are--?
32432Poor dear,she murmured at sight of his face,"so tired?"
32432Ruth, are you crazy?
32432Ruth, what are you driving at?
32432Ruth,he whispered,"love does mean something to you, does n''t it?"
32432See?
32432Seems absurd, does n''t it?
32432Seems pretty tickled about things, does n''t she?
32432Sent for Cy, Ted?
32432Shall you care?
32432She cared for a man who was married to someone else?
32432She did n''t make a very good return for the hospitality, do you think?
32432She''s to be taken away, is n''t she?
32432She_ did_ talk about me? 32432 She_ is_?"
32432So this is your idea of life, is it, Harriett?
32432Ted,she choked, in a queer, wild way, laughing through the sobs,"did you_ hear_?
32432They_ did_?--in spite of everything? 32432 Think so?"
32432This is your idea of marriage, is it? 32432 Was I so magnanimous,"he added dryly,"that I let you lose sight of the fact that I wanted you?"
32432Was it_ I_ who brought it about?
32432Was n''t divorced?
32432Was she?
32432Was that why Cy left town, Ted?
32432We wanted to do something-- what else could we do?
32432We''ve been married about six years, is n''t it?
32432Well, Edith did n''t lose much time, did she?
32432Well, Ruth, you do n''t expect me to deny, do you, that you did make a thing or two rather hard?
32432Well, Ruth,he remarked,"this would have meant a good deal to us ten or twelve years ago, would n''t it?"
32432Well, how can I be any other way?
32432Well, then, what in the world_ do_ you mean?
32432Well, what about Harriett?
32432Well, what did she do?
32432Well, why do n''t you?
32432Well,he asked bluntly,"will you go?"
32432Well,he said roughly,"I suppose you''re pleased?"
32432Well?
32432Well?
32432What I will do, Stuart, after leaving you, is for me to determine, is n''t it?
32432What are the things you think, Annie?
32432What did you say?
32432What do I care? 32432 What do I care?"
32432What do you mean, Ted?
32432What do you mean?
32432What do you mean?
32432What have you got to see him about?
32432What if I''m not? 32432 What is it, Stuart?"
32432What is it, dear?
32432What is it? 32432 What kind of a person?"
32432What''ll you do when the train pulls in? 32432 What''s Deane''s wife like, Ted?"
32432What''s the matter?
32432What_ is_ it?
32432What_ is_ it?
32432When shall we get married, Ruth?
32432When shall we go?
32432Who is he?
32432Who said you were careless?
32432Why are n''t you happy?
32432Why have_ you_ so much to do with it? 32432 Why not?"
32432Why should n''t I want to see him? 32432 Why, my_ dear_,"she murmured;"why, Ruth_ dear_, what_ is_ the matter?"
32432Why, very well, Deane,she said;"one is at perfect liberty to choose, is n''t one?
32432Why, what''s the difference?
32432Why--gasped Amy,"it''s positively weird, is n''t it?"
32432Will Louise come with him, Ted?
32432Will you go to see her?
32432Would you like to have that someone stand still long enough to give you a good start?
32432Yes, Deane?
32432Yes?
32432You and I-- mightn''t life go pretty well for us?
32432You do n''t think your sister was very-- fair to me, do you?
32432You do n''t?
32432You do n''t_ mean_ that, do you, Harriett?
32432You mean Ruth Holland?
32432You really think so, do you, Harriett? 32432 You telephoned?"
32432You think so?
32432You wished to see me?
32432You''re proud of your sister, I suppose?
32432_ Living_ together-- all this time-- and_ not_ married?
32432''Where''s Ruth?''
32432A new sense of just how hideous the whole thing was made him suddenly demand:"Ca n''t you--_do_ anything about it?
32432After all, what else-- Harriett being as she was-- could she do?
32432After an instant she looked up and said quietly:"Wo n''t you ask her to come in here?"
32432After that he murmured, in the voice of one mildly curious about a thing,"I wonder if Marion_ is_ going to get married?"
32432And Ruth?
32432And after this, just be a little more careful in_ your_ talk-- see?"
32432And as she laughed her tortured eyes seemed mockingly to put to him--"What difference would it make?"
32432And as still Ruth did not speak she demanded, sharply,"Ca n''t it?"
32432And is n''t it curious how seeing that brings us back to ourselves?
32432And is n''t our own happiness going to make us a little sorry for people who are outside all this?"
32432And oh, Deane-- tell me,--does she_ ever_ say anything about me?"
32432And she,"she added bravely,"was a dear old friend, was she not?"
32432And then how could she tell her mother when her mother would never in the world understand?
32432And what did it mean?
32432And what will people say?"
32432And-- for that matter-- what''s the difference?
32432And_ why_?
32432And_ why_?
32432Are our whole lives to be spoiled by a mere silly episode?"
32432As she stopped there Ruth asked eagerly, eyes intently upon her:"But just what is it you mean, Annie?
32432Being a man-- being a little older-- what''s that?
32432But I never did seem to stay where I was safest-- did I?"
32432But after his kisses she asked, as if she had only been biding her time through the interruption;"_ Did_ she run away with him?"
32432But do you think I''d trade with them?
32432But how_ could_ it be true?
32432But were there not other people?
32432But_ this_ is different, is n''t it?"
32432Ca n''t you see that we''ve got to vindicate the whole thing?
32432Could it be that she still_ cared_?--after the way she had been treated?
32432Could she?
32432Cy would have it in for him now, but what did he care for that?
32432Deane wanted to say:"And Ruth?"
32432Did any of them receive Ruth Holland?
32432Did denial of life leave nothing to be desired?
32432Did it mean that she was, after all, just like Edith?
32432Did it take pain to do it?
32432Did they know she was home?
32432Did they not all see that society must close in against the individual who defied it?
32432Do n''t you see, Deane?"
32432Do n''t you-- shan''t I bring in one of the big easy chairs?"
32432Does it ever seem to you that life is a pretty paralyzing thing?
32432Does that give you any right to come here and tell me so?"
32432Down in your heart-- way down in your heart, Harriett-- don''t you see that I could n''t?
32432Edith--?
32432Every time she gained new ground for her feet was she simply to be struck back to new dismays, new incertitudes, new pain?
32432Flushing, he started to reply to that, but instead asked abruptly,"Does Edith know that Ruth is home?"
32432Funny, is n''t it?"
32432Had anyone else noticed that the hook at the waist of Edith''s dress had come unfastened?
32432Had he taken her to the wedding?--taken her home?
32432Had her venturing, her experience, left her much as she would have been without it?
32432Had n''t Deane looked queer at the last?
32432Had she been with Deane that night?
32432Had she only deluded herself in that feeling which had created the strengthening calm of the last few days?
32432Had she remembered to put Edith''s handkerchiefs in her bag?
32432Had they neither the imagination nor the heart to go out in the thought of the different thing it had been to her?
32432Had they spoken of her?
32432Have you thought of that?"
32432Have you thought of the position you would put_ me_ in?"
32432He hesitated, then ventured:"You know, I presume, that your father has not left you now what he would have had ten years ago?"
32432He paused and it was more quietly, though none the less tensely that he asked:"Is it your idea that we go through life like this?"
32432He spoke then; but it was only to stammer:"Why,--_Ruth!_"Helplessly he repeated:"_ Ruth!_""But you see?
32432He went in the other room and after a minute called out, as one trying to be pleasant,"What we going to have for supper?"
32432Her mother stood over her murmuring,"Why, my dear, what_ is_ the matter?"
32432His voice too seemed out of old days as he said:"Ruth, I do n''t know yet what you mean-- why you''re saying this?"
32432How could it be otherwise when she was so lovely and so charming?
32432How could one get anything from life simply by holding another from it?
32432How could she go?
32432How could she?
32432How could the dead rouse the dead?
32432How did one_ know_?
32432How does she look?
32432How many children has she?
32432How would he ever make Amy understand about that?
32432How''s your Aunt Margaret''s rheumatism?
32432How''s your mother?
32432How_ dare_ you talk to me like this?"
32432I want to know-- do you intend this to go on?
32432If it is that-- then there''s something wrong with it, would n''t you think?"
32432If it were just a personal thing-- why do n''t you know that I''d forget everything-- except that she''s Ruth?"
32432If that does n''t marry people-- just tell me, Harriett,_ what does_?"
32432If they did, did it leave them all unmoved?
32432If_ you_ can forget-- forgive-- what seemed to you the wrong Ruth did_ you_--if_ your_ heart goes out to her-- then what else is there to it?"
32432Is n''t Stuart good to you?"
32432Is n''t it, more than anything else, just that simple, personal matter?
32432Is n''t there any_ way_?--any way you can get a divorce?"
32432Is that it?
32432It was Ruth''s voice, saying quietly, tensely:"Deane?
32432It was her grandfather who made the first difficulty; as she was going up the stairs he called,"You going over to the Lawrences''tonight, Ruth?"
32432It was in a different voice that Ruth began:"Harriett, do n''t you see, when you come to look at it, that I could n''t do this?
32432Just burn it all up, he said, in a crisp voice of efficiency; what was it good for, anyhow?
32432Just what is it you fought for-- kept?"
32432Later in the evening a couple of men were talking of someone who was ill."They have Franklin, do n''t they?"
32432Maybe that seems queer, but do n''t you know when a person does n''t feel right about things he does n''t get on very well with people?
32432Mrs. Holland added gently:"Now that was n''t reasonable, was it?"
32432Mrs. Holland thought he had grown-- grown broader, anyway; Mr. Holland wanted to know about the medical school, and would he practice in Freeport?
32432Mrs. Lawrence flushed a little at his tone on that last, but she seemed quite unruffled as she asked:"And you see no point in that?"
32432No matter what people thought of her, no matter what Edith herself thought-- though_ would n''t_ she understand?
32432Pretty white, do n''t you think?
32432Protection against what?
32432Queer, do n''t you think?
32432Shall I tell him to come in here?"
32432She laughed in a jerky little way and said, in a light voice that was slightly tremulous:"I did get a little fussed, did n''t I?
32432Should she tell her the truth?
32432Society as a whole is greater than the individual, is n''t it?"
32432Someone away from home?
32432Suddenly Cora demanded:"Well, there''s no prospect at all of a divorce?"
32432That little by little-- a little here and a little there-- it_ gets_ us?
32432That made it a different town through which he drove upon his return; a town where people cut their way ruthlessly through life-- and to what end?
32432That makes life worth while to you, does n''t it?"
32432That''s good for our lives, is n''t it?"
32432That''s it, is n''t it?"
32432That''s the secret of it, is n''t it?"
32432The most real things in them?"
32432The strain within was so great--(what_ was_ she going to do about Deane?)
32432Their own warmest selves?
32432Then for heaven''s sake why_ would n''t_ you go and see her?"
32432Then he asked lightly:"Shall we see what''s being dispensed from this punch- bowl?"
32432Then she only stammered,"Why, how do you do?"
32432Then,"Did the town look natural?"
32432Then,"Do you know what''s the matter with her?"
32432Then,"Have I done anything, Ruth?"
32432Then,"How old is Mildred, Ted?"
32432Then:"You care for some one else?"
32432There was that sort of talk for awhile--"Do you remember...?"
32432They were so good to her, so loving-- and what would they think if they knew?
32432They''ll say men do n''t marry women of that sort, wo n''t they?"
32432Though once or twice--""Yes, Ted?"
32432Too bad about that little doll- face, is n''t it?"
32432Was it always to be that way?
32432Was not life life, and should not one live before death came?
32432Was she satisfied?
32432Was she wrong in not going with Deane to see her?
32432Was that something twisted in him, or was it just that utter difference between knowing things from within and judging from without?
32432Was there never a time when one could be let alone?
32432Was there someone she loved?
32432Was_ that_ what she had said?
32432We keep alive by thinking, do n''t we?"
32432What about your dog?
32432What about your practice?
32432What did she say?
32432What else has she to go on?
32432What had his private affairs-- no matter what the state of them-- got to do with him as a physician?
32432What in the world could he do when he got there?
32432What is that going to be?"
32432What kind of an automobile have you?
32432What made you hurry so?"
32432What might not happen-- if it did n''t?"
32432What right had one to say that another was not strong enough?
32432What under the sun have you got to do but enjoy yourself?
32432What was he thinking about--_that woman_?
32432What would Edith think of her, going away without the things it seemed one should have?
32432What would she say to Edith?--how get_ that_ over?
32432What would she tell her?--that she had been called away?--but where?
32432When he saw the woe of her wet face he said gruffly:"Had n''t we better walk home?"
32432When she had answered yes he continued:"It would n''t be much out of your way, would it, to run on over to the Allens''?"
32432Where''ll you_ go_?"
32432Who are her friends?
32432Who could it be?
32432Why ca n''t you see that?
32432Why could it not have gone right for her too, as it had for Cora and would for Edith?
32432Why could n''t he do that part?"
32432Why did he have to bring in Edith Lawrence?
32432Why did we not hold life more precious?
32432Why did we not live more abundantly?
32432Why had he talked of a thing like that?
32432Why is it so important I do not-- judge her?"
32432Why is it such a personal matter to you?"
32432Why must it be so much harder than the individuals comprising it?
32432Why not forget everything but the personal part of it?
32432Why should she?"
32432Why was he making a regular business of going about fighting her battles?
32432Why was she so absurd as to let herself be upset?
32432Why would n''t we get married, I''d like to know, after all this time together?
32432Why, surely it could n''t be that because-- for some reason or other-- his wife had left him people were taking it out on his practice?
32432Williams?"
32432Williams?"
32432Wo n''t you go to see her?"
32432Wo n''t you reserve judgment about Ruth-- she is my friend and I hate to see her unfairly judged-- until some time when I can tell it better?"
32432Woodbury?"
32432Would Terror be there?
32432Would n''t everybody suspect, with her acting like this?
32432Would n''t he suspect?
32432Would there be any roses?
32432You do see?"
32432You know I''m just Ruth, do n''t you, Deane?"
32432You know that, do n''t you?"
32432You''d think a woman in her position would make a particular effort to-- to make the most of herself, now, would n''t you?
32432You''ve always been in love with her, have n''t you?"
32432You_ know_, Harriett Holland,"she flamed,"that if I did that I''d be less a woman, not a better one?"
32432_ Failed?_ A thing that glorified life for years--_failed_?"
32432_ Failed?_ A thing that glorified life for years--_failed_?"
32432_ Why_ did they talk?--just what did they say?
32432_ Why_ was he so wrought up about it?
32432and"Oh, whatever became of...?"
32432it made Harriett murmur,"you have n''t really got rested at all, have you?"
32432she said; and then at the very last--''Ruth?''"
46298A fine fellow, is he?
46298A growler or what?
46298A scolding?
46298Afraid?
46298After what I told you, you''re going away?
46298All a happy family?
46298All alone?
46298Alone?
46298And does he-- this person-- this Truefit know the whole of the extraordinary circumstances?
46298And how are we all getting on together?
46298And how are you, Sheila?
46298And how do you propose to get along, Mr. Broome?
46298And is Sheila there?
46298And now?
46298And what are you doing with yourself now, Leonard?
46298And what have you called him?
46298And what''s that, sir?
46298And what''s your perfession, sir, if I may ask?
46298And where does it come from?
46298And why should n''t I when I admire her immensely?
46298And will you bring the doctor first?
46298And you are out?
46298And you do n''t believe it?
46298And yourself?
46298And_ is_ the Governor coming round?
46298Anything else I can do?
46298Are n''t you coming, mother?
46298Are n''t you?
46298Are we going away?
46298Are we leaving?
46298Are you addressing me?
46298Are you going to budge?
46298Are you going to justify her now?
46298Are you quite sure about George Truefit?
46298Are you sorry?
46298Are you, father?
46298As a friend, Mrs. Greaves, what do you say to that?
46298B- R- O- O- M?
46298But have you nothing to say?
46298But he''s a barrister, is n''t he?
46298But how could I think of him when he was n''t born?
46298But how do I know that she is n''t right?
46298But what are you going to do?
46298But what is it?
46298But what of you, poor thing?
46298But where have they been all this time?
46298But why should you treat us alike when we were totally different?
46298But you do n''t think he''s pining, do you?
46298By- the- bye, Sheila, can you lend me half- a- crown?
46298By- the- bye, what is your father, Mary?
46298Ca n''t I?
46298Ca n''t you drive one, father?
46298Can you do that?
46298Can you get outside it like that?
46298Can you give me a little?
46298Can you really do that?
46298Can you tell me some of them?
46298Could you believe that I care more about writing my own way than for anything?
46298Could you manage ten pounds?
46298Did Edgar leave his rod at home?
46298Did I say some horrible things about you?
46298Did he mention that?
46298Did n''t you tell me you were''keeping company''with someone?
46298Did you understand him?
46298Do n''t you ever think of that?
46298Do n''t you see that?
46298Do n''t you see-- don''t you understand?
46298Do n''t you yourself resent-- didn''t you hear what he said?
46298Do you Mary?
46298Do you ever have any doubt about yourself, Edgar?
46298Do you ever think you''re a fool?
46298Do you intend to punish Mary, too?
46298Do you know my daughter- in- law, Mrs. Pendleton?
46298Do you know what my old father did?
46298Do you know what that means?
46298Do you know what you''ve done?
46298Do you love me, Mary?
46298Do you mean that you are leaving your husband and going away with this person?
46298Do you mean to say this young toff''s got no money, really?
46298Do you mean to say-- Who is George Truefit?
46298Do you realise what he said about you?
46298Do you see our married life?
46298Do you see that?
46298Do you see us married?
46298Do you think I love you?
46298Do you think I''ve found myself out?
46298Do you think so?
46298Do you think this is adequate?
46298Do you think to gain your point by talk like this?
46298Do you think you could do strange things-- what shall I say-- wicked things?
46298Do you think you''ll never want to come back?
46298Do you want it back?
46298Do you want it?
46298Do you want me, sir?
46298Do you?
46298Do you?
46298Does he ask Mary?
46298Does it still trouble you?
46298Does it trouble you, Mary?
46298Does the best man kiss the bride?
46298Done?
46298Edgar, is it any use their coming?
46298Eh?
46298Er-- is Mr. Leonard in, do you know?
46298Er-- won''t you take your things off?
46298Father, what are you going to do?
46298George Truefit?
46298George Truefit?
46298Going away?
46298Gone?
46298Good word is n''t it?
46298Good- bye?
46298Got a job all right?
46298Had you no thought at all for this unfortunate girl?
46298Hardly work for a man is it?
46298Has Leonard come home?
46298Has he come?
46298Have I hurt you?
46298Have I made a mistake?
46298Have n''t you?
46298Have you a father and mother?
46298Have you any money about you, mother?
46298Have you gone to Canada?
46298Have you got your marriage lines?
46298Have you heard from him?
46298Have you no sense of shame?
46298Have you seen him lately?
46298Have you seen him, Mrs. Broome?
46298He''s dreadful, is n''t he?
46298He''s not up to much himself, is n''t he?
46298Home yet?
46298How are we to live without it?
46298How are you, Pendleton?
46298How can you go away?
46298How could you say such things?
46298How did you manage to make them so different?
46298How do I get it?
46298How do you know?
46298How have you stood it all these years, mother?
46298How is that good man?
46298How long do your sincerities last?
46298How old is it?
46298How would you go away without a penny?
46298I can overlook a slip-- an error due to-- an error of-- of youth, but not a deliberate infringement of-- are you listening to what I say?
46298I should like to act handsomely but what can I do?
46298I suppose he would n''t poison the milk?
46298I would n''t have said it but since she has-- You dare to suggest that your mother is no better than your wife?
46298I''m a bit afraid of you, though?
46298I''m wanted?
46298I''ve heard that Harry Lauder got-- how much a week was it-- when he--?
46298In order to elope with Mary?
46298Is he behaving nicely?
46298Is he coming back?
46298Is he far enough round for that?
46298Is his father kind to you?
46298Is it any good saying it?
46298Is it any good?
46298Is it fair to her?
46298Is it for me you''d do it?
46298Is it?
46298Is mother downstairs?
46298Is n''t it mother?
46298Is n''t she, Mary?
46298Is that it, brother?
46298Is that somebody coming in?
46298Is the baby ill, Mary?
46298Is the beauty of the scene waning?
46298Is there any hope for him, Mary?
46298Is there such a person?
46298Is this to go on?
46298Is your share in it beautiful, too?
46298It do n''t pay?
46298It does look like that, does n''t it?
46298It is a bit stale, is n''t it?
46298It''s about time this dinner was ready, is n''t it?
46298Just get the right sort of thing and a new hat, wo n''t you?
46298Let''s see-- what does he do?
46298Let''s see?
46298Listen to this-- listen to Shakespeare:[_ He declaims._]''Why sweat they under burdens?
46298Mary''s with him, I suppose?
46298Mary, do you like him better than me?
46298Mary, do you love George Truefit?
46298Mary, do you remember exactly what he said that day-- I mean about the three hundred pounds?
46298Mary, where are you going?
46298Mary, will you marry my son?
46298Mary, will you swear that there is a George Truefit?
46298Mary, would you marry him?
46298Mary?
46298Mary?
46298Mr. Pendleton, who are the wild people here?
46298Mr. Pendleton, wo n''t you consider these preliminaries over and give me a little assistance?
46298Must I call out Truefit?
46298Must I--?
46298My rival, the milkman, is n''t he?
46298Need?
46298No more milk?
46298No, that''s bad, is n''t it?
46298Nonsense, will you marry him?
46298Nosebags?
46298Not of him?
46298Now is it?
46298Now is there anything_ you''d_ like to pawn?
46298Now what does that mean?
46298Now, is that necessary?
46298Now, why not go deeper into it?
46298Of me?
46298Or assassinate him?
46298Ought n''t you to take in Mary?
46298Perhaps you would like to go and live with them as he proposes?
46298Shall I bring in tea?
46298Shall I explain to you what a promise is?
46298Shall I take it?
46298Sheila?
46298Sir?
46298Sir?
46298Sit down, wo n''t you?
46298Some sort of family reconciliation?
46298Some truth?
46298Some truth?
46298Something about your father?
46298Spoil things?
46298TIMBRELL hesitates, but as her husband waits she turns the photograph towards him._] Leonard''s photograph?
46298That''s all right, John?
46298That''s something, is n''t it?
46298That''s your character, is it?
46298The doctor?
46298The following changes were noted:- p. 25: What about my mother?
46298The least?
46298The one you lost?
46298The what, sir?
46298Then how are you going to get along?
46298Then how does he-- I mean how does he get an income?
46298There''s no relenting, then?
46298To me, you know?
46298Treat her!--What are you to talk of treating her well?
46298Very jolly is n''t it?
46298Vexed about this was he?
46298Was I always your favourite, mother?
46298We came to hear about you, Mary?
46298We''re just mothers, are n''t we, Mary?
46298We''ve not been very nice to her, now, have we?
46298Well, Mother?
46298Well, Sheila, how are you?
46298Well, have n''t I?
46298Well, how could we be?
46298Well, it''d only be polite-- and you''ve nothing to do, it seems?
46298Well, where was it?
46298Well, you can lend me a couple of sovereigns, anyhow?
46298Well-- little Leonard-- are they the same?
46298Well?
46298Well?
46298Well?
46298Were n''t you, now?
46298What I want to know is-- Are you married?
46298What about my mother?
46298What about the Savoy and a music- hall, Mary?
46298What am I, Mary?
46298What are such things to you?
46298What are you going to do?
46298What are you paying for coals now, Pendleton?
46298What are you talkin''about?
46298What did I say?
46298What did I say?
46298What did you call her?
46298What did you give Mary?
46298What do I care for immaculate saints?
46298What do you call him, Mary?
46298What do you care for most in the world-- barring the baby?
46298What do you mean, Edgar?
46298What do you mean?
46298What do you mean?
46298What do you mean?
46298What do you think of the Governor''s proposal, Edgar-- as a business man?
46298What do you want me to do?
46298What do you want with him?
46298What does he mean?
46298What does the doctor say?
46298What does the fellow mean?
46298What for?
46298What for?
46298What good are they to me?
46298What good are you to anybody?

46298What''s the least you can manage with?
46298What''s the matter?
46298What''s the right thing?
46298What''s the use of telling you I''m sorry?
46298What''s the use of these disguises?

46298What''s this?
46298What''s this?
46298What''s your way out?
46298What, sir?
46298What?
46298What?
46298What?
46298What?
46298When are you going, Mary?
46298When was that baby born?
46298When?
46298Where are they?
46298Where are you going?
46298Where are you going?
46298Where does my wildness come from?
46298Where is Edgar?
46298Where is Edgar?
46298Where is he?
46298Where was it?
46298Where''s Leonard?
46298Where''s all this money to come from?
46298Where''s the fatted calf?
46298Where''s the sweetly pretty tea- caddy?
46298Where?
46298Where?
46298Which favours the mother, Mrs. Pendleton?
46298Who cares less?
46298Who makes the position impossible?
46298Who says this?
46298Who would treat her so abominably?
46298Who''s coming?
46298Who''s that?
46298Who''s there?
46298Who''s this?
46298Why are you packing your bag?
46298Why ca n''t you people be natural and let me be natural?
46298Why ca n''t you talk simply instead of spouting all this rot?
46298Why do n''t you go?
46298Why do you call him an artist, Edgar?
46298Why do you let him?
46298Why do you say things like that-- just to amuse yourself-- and you might know they frighten me?
46298Why does n''t he go into the business, too?
46298Why must n''t Mrs. the lady be here?
46298Why not?
46298Why should I stop you?
46298Why should n''t she be a happy mother without fear and without shame?
46298Why should they injure a established trade?
46298Why should they spoil other trades?
46298Why was it in your room?
46298Why were you born?
46298Why were you going?
46298Why, Leonard?
46298Why, what do you mean?
46298Why?
46298Why?
46298Why?
46298Will you come, too?
46298Will you marry him Mary, or let him go out into the street?
46298Will you sell your watch, then, or pawn it?
46298Will you speak up for me?
46298Will you take me, Mary?
46298Will you?
46298Would he marry you, Mary?
46298Would they trust us for Lubbock''s food?
46298Would you alter it?
46298Would you be such a fool?
46298Would you condescend to marry him?
46298Would you?
46298Yes, and what have they done for me?
46298Yes, it''s a curious sensation, is n''t it?
46298Yes, we could n''t be expected to receive her with open arms, could we?
46298Yes, what are you going to wear, Leonard?
46298You are leaving me to go with George Truefit?
46298You ca n''t be going away?
46298You did n''t think that I gave any credence to that boy''s abominable suggestions?
46298You do n''t hate me yet, do you?
46298You do n''t hold with modern notions-- progress and things, Mr. Broome?
46298You do n''t mind, mother?
46298You do n''t think I''m such a bad father, do you?
46298You knew-- you knew everything?
46298You know about babies, too, do n''t you?
46298You mean a bounder?
46298You mean you''d marry me?
46298You must have some money?
46298You never thought of any kind of reparation, I suppose?
46298You took it from his Mother''s room?
46298You understand me very thoroughly, do n''t you?
46298You were going away?
46298You were going away?
46298You were running away?
46298You''d condescend to borrow from me, then?
46298You''d have stolen it?
46298You''ll come back with him?
46298You''re out of a job too?
46298[_ Angrily to LEONARD._] Do you mean to tell me that you''re going to submit to this?
46298[_ Breaking impatiently away._] My dear, is n''t dinner ready?
46298[_ Fingering her rings._] Have you started with pawnshops yet?
46298[_ Glancing at her._] By- the- bye, what did that chap say about little Leonard?
46298[_ Going, turns and says to LEONARD._] Why were you going away?
46298[_ Having quite recovered._] Would anybody like to ask me any questions?
46298[_ He knows in his heart that MARY will not be shaken and his efforts to retain her seem perfunctory._] What do I do?
46298[_ He looks at his watch._] At what o''clock does this house cease to be my home?
46298[_ He strikes the Bible with his fist._] I swear by this Book that unless my son, Leonard, marries that woman, Mary-- What is your name?
46298[_ He turns suddenly to his father._] Do you see the folly of it yet?
46298[_ Impetuously._] Do you like staying here, Mary?
46298[_ Listening._] Is that your mother coming?
46298[_ MARY and MRS. BROOME go out._] Well, Mr. Broome and what have you got to say?
46298[_ Rather graciously._] How d''y do, Mary?
46298[_ She turns to MARY and LEONARD._] What are you going to do?
46298[_ Shocked._] Questions?
46298[_ Surveying EDGAR._] Yes, that''s right-- black tie-- You told Sheila to put on some half and half affair?
46298[_ Taking his mother by the shoulders._] You just go and get me some money, will you?
46298[_ Testily._] What''s what?
46298[_ There is a pause and TIMBRELL looks at LEONARD and then at his wife._] What''s that in your hand?
46298[_ To ADA._] Is it a boy or a girl?
46298[_ To ADA._] Is your mother in?
46298[_ To EDGAR._] Do you know it?
46298[_ To LEONARD._] Confound you, sir, are you going to let your wife go like this?
46298[_ To LEONARD._] Must I go?
46298[_ To LEONARD._] What''s your answer?
46298[_ To LEONARD._] Will you go?
46298[_ To LEONARD._] Wo n''t you go for the doctor now?
46298[_ To MARY._] What are you stopping here for?
46298[_ To MARY._] What have you got to say?
46298[_ To MRS. PENDLETON._] Do n''t you think so, Maria?
46298[_ To MRS. PENDLETON._] Does your husband come and shew you how to save money in the house?
46298[_ To MRS. TIMBRELL._] Have you seen it, my dear?
46298[_ To MRS. TIMBRELL._] Wo n''t you stop her?
46298[_ To TIMBRELL, reproachfully._] You''ve not gone back to those cheap coals again, sir?
46298[_ To his father._] Have n''t you any imagination?
46298[_ To his mother._] Do you think the Governor would let me have twenty pounds?
46298[_ To his wife._] What were you saying?
46298[_ Turning at the door._] And what about my bill, sir?
46298[_ Very quietly._] Would he marry you now?
46298do you?
46298well-- know her?
15357Who''s Minerva?
15357?
15357?"
15357A compromise in my favour?
15357A compromise?
15357A friend?
15357A highly- strung, emotional creature?
15357A la mode?
15357A man?
15357A propos?
15357A stormy interview?
15357A taste of the oddities, I suppose?
15357Adieu to them, then-- eh?
15357After you--?
15357Against what?
15357All right now?
15357Am I in the way?
15357Am I keeping you waiting, Lucas?
15357Am I-- that?
15357An accident?
15357And I do n''t mind your expression--[sitting by the table]--the devil to pay?
15357And do you know what drove me so?
15357And her?
15357And how much is there, my dear Mrs. Ebbsmith, belonging to humanity that survives being laughed at?
15357And in your dowdy days you had ambitions?
15357And it would be quite possible, it seems, for you to resume your old career?
15357And may I be allowed-- saccharine?
15357And the others?
15357And then?
15357And they called you a Coming Man at one time, did n''t they?
15357And they report--?
15357And this little victory of yours-- the possession of this man; you think this is the best that Earth can spare you?
15357And what assurance have we that he returns to us when he has wearied of pursuing you?
15357And when would you have me hang this on my bones?
15357And yet, judging from what that girl said yesterday, Mr. Cleeve married quite recently?
15357Apart from me, you mean?
15357Apartments?
15357Are we to lose the poor soul after all, Gerty?
15357Are you copying that manuscript of mine?
15357Are you going to take all my work from me?
15357Are you looking at my shawl?
15357Are you often guilty of this sort of thing?
15357Are you ready, Gertrude?
15357Are you satisfied?
15357Are you satisfied?
15357Are you still giving him anything?
15357Are you sure he sees us?
15357At the Grunwald?
15357At what time?
15357Bardini?
15357Because, occasionally, patience becomes exhausted at the mere contemplation of a man so self- absorbed?
15357Before you made yourself my husband''s champion and protector, why did n''t you let your experience speak a word for me?
15357Besides, do n''t I tell you that we must make sure of him now?
15357Both?
15357But do n''t you and Mr. Cleeve-- talk to each other?
15357But do tell me: you have been crossing the streets to avoid me during the past week; what has made you come to see me now?
15357But he''s an eccentric, is n''t he?
15357But how can you"stand by"?
15357But tell me-- you do n''t know how I-- how I have liked you!-- tell me, if Mr. Cleeve''s wife divorces him, he will marry you?
15357But what is the real, the actual Lucas Cleeve?
15357But what--?
15357But when?
15357But-- but you believe I shall succeed equally well in this new career of mine?
15357By railway, from Florence?
15357Can not we be left alone?
15357Come, Duke, confess-- isn''t there more sanity in me than you suspected?
15357Come, why do n''t you smile-- laugh?
15357Compact?
15357Compact?
15357Curse?
15357Dear Lucas, you have something to say to me--?
15357Deceive--?
15357Defeat him?
15357Did n''t you see me make a note of it?
15357Did they inquire as to her movements?
15357Die out?
15357Dining in a public place?
15357Do n''t they conjure up alluringly pictures of peace and pleasure, of golden days and star- lit nights-- pictures of beauty and love?
15357Do n''t you know it?
15357Do n''t you understand?
15357Do these people really know you and your husband, or were they talking nonsense?
15357Do you fully realise what your confession does?
15357Do you know what"help"would mean to me?
15357Do you know, dear Mrs. Thorpe, I have always had the very strongest desire to live in lodgings in Venice?
15357Do you mind my drinking from your glass?
15357Do you mind seeing that I''m not robbed by my gondolier?
15357Do you think it''s really going to last?
15357Do you think so?
15357Do you understand?
15357Do you?
15357Doctor, have you ever seen Amos look dreadfully stern and knit about the brows-- like a bishop who is put out?
15357Does n''t Mr. Cleeve feel so well?
15357Does n''t she?
15357Does she?
15357Duke of St. Olpherts?
15357Duke, will you be the bearer of a note from me to Sandford?
15357Eh, bien?
15357Eh?
15357Eh?
15357Eh?
15357Eh?
15357Eh?
15357Eh?
15357Eh?
15357Elsewhere?
15357Est- il parti?
15357Excitement?
15357Faint?
15357For example, I-- I think it possible you may not succeed in grinning away the compact between Mr. Cleeve and myself?
15357For what am I?
15357For what?
15357Four o''clock?
15357Free?
15357From what cause?
15357Good heavens, Duke, do you imagine, now that I am in sound health and mind again, that I do n''t see the hideous absurdity of these views of hers?
15357Hardly a word?
15357Has it?
15357Has life with me become so distasteful?
15357Have I been altogether to blame, do you still think?
15357Have you heard what they say of me?
15357Have you seen your uncle?
15357He adds sluggishness to other vices, then?
15357He has right on his side, then?
15357He remains here, then?
15357He''s dead?
15357His future promised to be brilliant, did n''t it?
15357His music?
15357Home--?
15357How are you getting on, Heppy?
15357How do you do, Mrs Thorpe?
15357How do you do, my dear?
15357How goes the time?
15357How is she?
15357How long can you remain with her?
15357How long will you be?
15357How many"coming men"has one known?
15357How should I know doctor?
15357How?
15357However, you are easier in your mind?
15357I told you?
15357I-- I don''t-- Why?
15357If I decline?
15357If it could but be-- what?
15357Images of a beautiful temptress with peach- blossomed cheeks and stained hair?
15357In God''s name, Duke, why must you come here?
15357In God''s name?
15357In Parliament-- now?
15357In church?
15357In the hope--?
15357In what way?
15357Indeed, really, really?
15357Is it so late?
15357Is my sister still here, may I ask?
15357Is n''t it straining a point-- to shirk bringing him back?
15357Is n''t it?
15357Is n''t that strange?
15357Is n''t that the sketch you made of me in Florence?
15357Is n''t this madness?
15357Is that the woman?
15357Is this mission of the Duke of St Olpherts the final attempt to part us, I wonder?
15357Is your brother quite well?
15357It changed you?
15357It is proposed that this meeting should take place-- when?
15357Lecturing?
15357Let me see-- you''re considerably her junior?
15357Look my best?
15357Lucas?
15357Mad people scare you, perhaps?
15357Mad-- Agnes?
15357Marriage?
15357Married or--?
15357Married or--?
15357May I impose myself so far upon you as to ask you to tell your landlord to expect me?
15357May I pop in tonight for my game of chess?
15357May he take you to the Piazetta?
15357Mine?
15357Mr Cleeve is out, I conclude?
15357Mrs. Ebbsmith--?
15357Mrs. Ebbsmith--?
15357Mrs. Ebbsmith?
15357My method of treating it?
15357My method--?
15357My view of life?
15357My--?
15357Need we wait any longer, then?
15357Never knew what?
15357No letter--?
15357No nitric and sulphuric acid, with glycerine-- eh?
15357No trembling?
15357No?
15357Not a servant?
15357Not--?
15357Oh my darling, well be independent in thought and action still; but we wo n''t make examples of ourselves-- eh?
15357Oh, are you?
15357Oh, the whole thing came as a surprise to you?
15357Oh, then Mr. Cleeve now refuses to carry out his part of the shameful arrangement?
15357Oh, what do you mean?
15357Oh, what kind of woman can this Mrs. Cleeve be?
15357On some topics she''s a mere echo of her father, if you mean that?
15357Once--?
15357One--?
15357Opportunity--?
15357Persecution?
15357Pretty work upon it, is there not, Mrs. Thorpe?
15357Qu''avez- vous la?
15357Qu''y a- t- il, Fortune?
15357Quite alone?
15357Reading?
15357Really?
15357Really?
15357Really?
15357Really?
15357Really?
15357Really?
15357Resign yourself?
15357Saddening, dear?
15357Shall Antonio cut the cord?)
15357Shall I see you--?
15357Shall I tell you, or not-- or not?
15357Shall we dine out tonight?
15357Shall we?
15357Sham--?
15357Sir George Brodrick?
15357Six years of my life unaccounted for, eh?
15357So it has already arrived, then, at a simple struggle to hold Mr. Cleeve?
15357So some lie has been told him, to keep him out of the way?
15357So you''ve heard that, have you?
15357Suggestion?
15357Supposing he does succeed in taking Mr. Cleeve away from you?
15357Surely your Grace--?
15357Tell me now-- really-- why do the Cleeves send a rip like you to do their serious work?
15357Tell me, when did you make up your mind to transform yourself?
15357That heavy brown cloak of mine?
15357The Coming Man, often, was n''t it?
15357The Duke and the cadaverous Baronet?
15357The Duke?
15357The Duke?
15357The difficulty being to convince him of the fact, eh?
15357The fact is, Mrs. Cleeve-- oh, what do you wish me to call you?
15357The father-- one of those public park vermin, eh?
15357The object of such a meeting?
15357The public?
15357The return of my senses?
15357The tray here?
15357The truth-- oh?
15357The unsympathetic wife-- eh?
15357The woman made a point of being extremely explicit with you, you tell me?
15357The women in your class of life?
15357The"friends"you were expecting, Duke?
15357Then by this time he has discovered that Mrs. Ebbsmith has left him?
15357Then why the deuce do n''t you listen a little more patiently to my views?
15357These rags?
15357They''re prepared to accept a-- a compromise, I hear?
15357This is n''t explosive, I hope?
15357This man''s-- protection?
15357This-- this is your doing?
15357To see him?
15357To which of these two women-- my wife or--[pointing to the door]--to her-- am I really bound now?
15357Tomorrow afternoon?
15357Torturing you?
15357Vanity?
15357Vous savez, n''est- ce pas?
15357Was any time specified?
15357We have both been criticised, in our time, pretty sharply, eh, Duke?
15357We''ll solemnly toast this, shall we, in Montefiascone?
15357Well we ca n''t all win the race-- eh?
15357Well, Sir George?
15357Well, but-- you--?
15357Well, most women can manage to look in their pier- glasses without swooning-- eh, Mrs Thorpe?
15357Well-- I did nurse you carefully, did n''t I?
15357Well-- did you ever read of John Thorold--"Jack Thorold, the demagogue?"
15357Well-- to be plain-- you''re not asking us to sympathise with Mrs. Cleeve and her brother- in- law over their defeat?
15357Well-- what is the real Lucas Cleeve?
15357Well--?
15357Well--?
15357Well?
15357Well?
15357Well?
15357Well?
15357What about women?
15357What are those, dear?
15357What did Lucas say to you when you--?
15357What did they say to that?
15357What do you mean?
15357What do you say about him?
15357What do you say, then, to asking the Duke to give you back that letter to your brother?
15357What do you think of my Essay?
15357What do you want-- wine?
15357What does she mean by sending that showy thing to me?
15357What fear?
15357What good did it do anybody?
15357What have you been doing with yourself?
15357What is it you are all asking me to do now?
15357What is it?
15357What is it?
15357What is my estimate?
15357What is the matter?
15357What kind of-- footing?
15357What scheme is afoot now?
15357What upsets you, then?
15357What was it your head came against?
15357What were we to pose as?
15357What will thee call her?
15357What would you say?
15357What, dear?
15357What, does n''t he know?
15357What, is that the meaning of"for as long as you are together?"
15357What, is there another doctor with Dr. Kirke?
15357What, now, do you mean?
15357What-- what has she been saying to you?
15357What-- what time is it?
15357What--?
15357What?
15357What?
15357When do we next meet, dear fellow?
15357When he ordered it?
15357When you say that Mr. Cleeve has left his wife, I suppose you mean to tell me that you have taken her place?
15357Where is he while this poor creature''s body and soul are being played for?
15357Where is he?
15357Where is she?
15357Where is she?
15357Where on earth do they all go to?
15357Where was Mr. Cleeve?
15357Where''s the husband?
15357Where-- where are you going?
15357Where?
15357Which hope they''ve now relinquished?
15357Which is you-- the shabby, shapeless rebel who entertained me this afternoon or--[kissing the tips of his fingers to her]--or that?
15357Who is he?
15357Who made you that gown?
15357Who tells you-- that?
15357Who''s that gal?
15357Who''s that?
15357Who''s this?
15357Whom do you think I got a bow from as I passed through the hall of the Danieli last night?
15357Why did n''t you tell me outright that I was putting you to too severe a test?
15357Why do n''t I go at this very moment?
15357Why do n''t you join us?
15357Why do n''t you tell me more?
15357Why do you say all this to me now?
15357Why do you stick at"enemy"?
15357Why do you suggest he''ll be ruined through me?
15357Why has my wife been here--?
15357Why have you left me?
15357Why is it you have n''t told me you''re a daughter of Admiral Steyning''s?
15357Why not come and see our rooms?
15357Why not look your best in a public place?
15357Why not?
15357Why should men and women be so eager to grant to each other the power of wasting life?
15357Why should they harass and disturb you as they do?
15357Why will you persist, all of you, in regarding this as a mere morbid infatuation, bred in the fumes of pastilles?
15357Why, this political career of yours-- think what it would have been at best?
15357Why, what has brought about this change in you?
15357Why, when I realised the actual terms of our companionship-- why did n''t I go on my own way stoically?
15357Why?
15357Why?
15357Will he obey you?
15357Will she--?
15357Will there be much to pack for Mistress Cleeve?
15357Will you come?
15357Will you--?
15357Would n''t he?
15357Wronged?
15357Yes, but-- is that possible?
15357Yes, dear?
15357Yes-- well?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357Yes?
15357You and Mr. Cleeve--?
15357You and Mr. Cleeve?
15357You and she had formed quite an attachment?
15357You are afraid he will succeed?
15357You are carrying it about with you?
15357You are coming with us, Kirke?
15357You are going out for your chocolate this afternoon as usual, I suppose?
15357You are not coming out?
15357You are not unhappy?
15357You are sure you are not shy of being seen with a notorious woman?
15357You are surely not proposing to-- to--break with me?
15357You bring the orthodoxy into this queer firm, then, Lucas?
15357You conceive a different ideal, Sir George?
15357You drink tea-- fellow sufferer?
15357You guess whom I am expecting?
15357You have met the man?
15357You have seen him again today, then?
15357You have such thoughts in your mind?
15357You have told him she is with us?
15357You hear me-- you-- and you?
15357You knew that I could not speak to you after hearing this?
15357You know?
15357You mean that she consents to--?
15357You really love me, do you mean-- as simple, tender women are content to love?
15357You regard my appearance in an affair of morals as a quaint one?
15357You still go frequently to Great Cumberland Place?
15357You still refuse my address?
15357You want to physic me, do you, after worrying my poor brain as you''ve done?
15357You will succeed in holding Mr. Cleeve, you mean?
15357You will wear them?
15357You wo n''t see Sandford, then, dear Lucas, for a moment or two?
15357You would go your different ways if ever you found that one of you was making the other unhappy?
15357You would marry me if I wished it?
15357You''ll respect my confidence?
15357You''ve come to fetch me, Amos?
15357You''ve recovered?
15357You, the man-- what are you?
15357You-- you dine out?
15357You-- you do n''t dislike him as much as you did?
15357You?
15357Your Grace does n''t complain of the injustice of that charge?
15357Your career?
15357Your hour--?
15357Your hour--?
15357Your wife--?
15357Your women faint sometimes, do n''t they?
15357[ With a smile] What of her?
15357but about Cleeve, now-- he had Roman fever of rather a severe type?
43971''Almost''? 43971 ''Fortunately''?"
43971''Pathetic''? 43971 After that terrible life in Paris, Balham will seem quiet to you, I daresay; but perhaps you wo n''t mind that?''
43971Am I too soon?
43971An hotel?
43971And do you wish to make your home with me again? 43971 And since?
43971Are n''t you a little unjust?
43971Are n''t you going to ask me to stay to supper?
43971Are you going to say so to your interviewer?
43971Are you serious?
43971Are you wishing you had n''t come?
43971Bored, dear?
43971But what were you going to say?
43971But why''stage- struck,''anyhow? 43971 But you ca n''t have dined?
43971But you can never forgive me?
43971But you were n''t described as''bar- struck''?
43971But you will, perhaps? 43971 But_ do_ you?
43971Could I see him then?
43971Could n''t she stop at home?
43971Did n''t the man tell you that the night air was bad? 43971 Did you ever read_ Mademoiselle de Maupin_?"
43971Did you expect me?
43971Do n''t you think it very likely you might be disappointed?
43971Do n''t you understand?
43971Do n''t you want to see the man marry her?
43971Do you hate me?
43971Do you know why I came this afternoon?
43971Do you love me, Mamie?
43971Do you love me, then?
43971Do you mean it?
43971Do you send them anywhere?
43971Does that follow?
43971Does that mean''yes''?
43971Dying?
43971Eh?
43971Got anything, dear boy?
43971Have I been wood?
43971Have I gushed?
43971Have a drink? 43971 Have n''t I?"
43971Have you been out in this weather long?
43971Have you been talking to Mamie about her intentions?
43971Have you been writing again?
43971Have you come home for good, Cheriton?
43971Have you considered such a step?
43971Have you got an appointment?
43971Have you had a letter since I saw you?
43971Have_ you_?
43971He has given you hope?
43971He said that?
43971How are you feeling?
43971How are your limbs?
43971How can you come to the front if no one gives you the opportunity? 43971 How is he?"
43971How long would the infatuation have lasted?
43971How''marry her''?
43971How''s the world used you, Cheriton? 43971 I beg your pardon?
43971I do n''t mean that,said Miss Forbes;"I mean, how long have you been out?"
43971I guess you actresses look down on novices rather?
43971I have heard from your father,she went on;"I suppose you know?"
43971I hear you were living with-- with_ him_ in Paris? 43971 I hope it pleased you?"
43971I hope you''re well?
43971I mean, what company were you in last, and when did it finish?
43971I suppose you''ve got to train it?
43971I thought it likely you''d be here,said Mamie;"wo n''t you sit down?"
43971I thought ladies generally wrote novels?
43971I wonder,said Sir Francis,"that you''ve never thought of re- marrying, George?"
43971I''ll give you double the commission if----"Have you got enough voice for chorus?
43971I''m dying,she said;"if it happens a little sooner, or a little later, does it matter very much?
43971I''m earnest, and discouraged, too.... Is it impertinent to ask if_ you_ had experiences like mine when you were younger?
43971I? 43971 If I waited, do you think I might see him?"
43971If we could have our lives over again, eh, Heriot?
43971In other words, you think she wrecked the piece?
43971Is Mr. Porteous here?
43971Is anybody his own master?
43971Is he coming out now?
43971Is he-- is there no hope?
43971Is it so serious? 43971 Is n''t a poor playwright respectable?"
43971Is n''t it beastly?
43971Is the comedy part open, do you know? 43971 Is there a great deal to be pleased at?
43971It depends how clever one is, or whether one is clever at all?
43971It is understood,he said abruptly,"that you go to Drummond and do exactly as he orders?
43971It would be a very foolish one?
43971Left you? 43971 Mamie?"
43971Mamie?
43971May I ask if you write yourself?
43971May I come in?
43971Miss Millington is almost perfect as''Daisy,''is n''t she?
43971No? 43971 Oh, merely----""Merely?"
43971Oh, were you?
43971Oh, you can understand that?
43971On the Continent alone?
43971Pleasuring?
43971Really? 43971 Really?
43971Shall I serve dinner, sir?
43971Shall we go to the waiting- room?
43971Shall we have another muffin?
43971Should I have come to tell you so?
43971So you ought to; but what does it matter if you do n''t? 43971 That I had a theory?
43971The days are drawing in fast, Mr. Heriot, are n''t they? 43971 The hall- porter at the Club----""What club?
43971They seem very absurd to you, I daresay?
43971This street is awfully stupid, is n''t it?
43971Though you had nothing in common?
43971To Balham?
43971To cast her off?
43971To cast her off?
43971To marry you?
43971To refuse while I thought I had a future, and to say''yes,''now that----How can you ask me? 43971 To set your teeth and work morning, noon, and night sounds very fine, but what does it amount to?
43971To whom are you ridiculous?
43971Was it necessary for her to have a gift at all?
43971Was she interested in your career? 43971 We may see you in New York, Sir George?"
43971We might go to a theatre to- night,he said;"would you like to?"
43971We were both unlucky; but perhaps it does n''t matter so much to you?
43971Well, it''s nearly over.... Are you glad?
43971Well, we''ll go to the Vaudeville, or somewhere to- night, Mamie-- that''s arranged?
43971Well, why does n''t she go on the stage in America? 43971 What are''extras''--you do n''t mean''supers''?"
43971What can I say?
43971What do you mean?
43971What do you think of Miss Pierways?
43971What does he write?
43971What does it matter?
43971What for? 43971 What have you been doing?"
43971What purpose would it serve?
43971What shall I do?
43971What''s your line?
43971What,muttered Mamie,"what did he say?"
43971What?
43971Where does she come from?... 43971 Where has dear Mamie gone?"
43971Where?
43971Where?
43971Who can tell? 43971 Who is she?"
43971Why distress yourself? 43971 Why do n''t you go, George?"
43971Why should I?
43971Why''stage- struck''then? 43971 Why, I thought you said that the paper was a''rag''and that you would n''t dream of consenting?"
43971Why,said Heriot labouredly, after another pause,"why would it mean so much?"
43971Why? 43971 Why?
43971Why?
43971Why?
43971Will you come with me?
43971Will you, Miss Cheriton?
43971With another man?
43971Wo n''t you come and have some tea first?
43971Wo n''t you come in?
43971Wo n''t you sit down?
43971Would it be inconsiderate to ask you to recite to- night, Miss Cheriton?
43971Would it have lasted another five?
43971Would you have recognised me?
43971Yes; he did n''t speak very nicely, did he?
43971You are going to be adapted? 43971 You are moving to Balham?"
43971You are not satisfied with it-- it falls short of what you meant? 43971 You brought her down to Eastbourne to- day?"
43971You counted on_ me_? 43971 You do n''t mean that you regret giving up Art?"
43971You have n''t told me how it was you came to the States?
43971You lost your wife, you wrote me?
43971You may have heard it mentioned?
43971You mean it''s possible to be really clever, and yet not to come to the front?
43971You promised it?
43971You went to him?
43971You will miss your niece?
43971You''re doing well?
43971You''re going on the stage as a supernumerary instead?
43971You''re really in earnest then? 43971 You''ve been here ten days?"
43971You-- want to marry me? 43971 You?"
43971You?
43971Your daughter paints?
43971''Had''it?
43971''Left you?''
43971''Oh,''said he in his superior way,''would you?
43971''Oo shall I say?"
43971''Too old for her''?
43971Admitting the element of romance, what of it?"
43971After a long pause, she said:"Was she pretty?...
43971After all, why should he not remove to Belle Vue Mansion if he wished?
43971Ah, Mamie, how could you do it?"
43971Ah, you wo n''t divorce her, Mr. Heriot?
43971Am I to reject a career because I''m not starving?
43971Am I''enthusing''again?"
43971And the literary flâneur-- the half- hearted seducer of passionless ladies-- is he out of date?
43971And what is it?
43971And would she like to return to Duluth?
43971And you?
43971Anybody in particular?"
43971Are n''t you going to tell me all about it?"
43971Are they still denying it to- day?
43971Are you going to cut me?"
43971But I''m sorry; I may say that?
43971But at least I do n''t talk like Americans in your comic papers, do I?"
43971But girls ca n''t be barristers, and----""Will you open the window for me?"
43971But if nobody made you an offer, what then?"
43971But it''s very fatiguing_ making_ friends, do n''t you think so?
43971But perhaps you often come to Eastbourne?"
43971But perhaps_ no_ form of art appears to you necessary?"
43971But why the sense of gratification with which he had learnt where she lived?
43971But, my dear fellow, what companionship had you?
43971But... What was I going to say?
43971But_ was_ her Aunt Lydia willing?--was she expected to write to her and inquire?
43971Ca n''t you recognise ambition?"
43971Can you like me well enough to be my wife?"
43971Cheriton replied by two questions: What was Field''s will?
43971Could she understand your ways of thought?
43971Dearest, what do you relinquish by marrying me now?
43971Did it give her another face, another form, another brain?
43971Did this especial sin make of a woman somebody else?
43971Did unfaithfulness transform her personality?
43971Did you care for him so much?
43971Do you like the long evenings, or the long afternoons best?
43971Do you really think they will?"
43971Do you stay over here long?"
43971Do you suppose the only clever actresses alive are those who''re known?
43971Do you think we need talk about it much?
43971Er-- down here, I daresay, when I come to know her better---- Have you met Van Buren?"
43971Field,''I presume?"
43971For Heaven''s sake, why?"
43971Fortunately you wo n''t have time to be very bored, though; will you?"
43971Good- night, old chap; shall I see you to- morrow?
43971Had she blundered more terribly than when she married?
43971Had she forgotten it; or was it that she had been incapable of transferring that?
43971Had she-- it was a horrible thought-- had she been mistaken?
43971Have I deserved that from you?"
43971Have you been on his books long, Miss----?"
43971Have you ever wanted to shriek?
43971Have you noticed how everybody is saying,''New York''now?
43971Have_ you_ far to go?"
43971He murmured deprecation:"Why?"
43971He said he had''a duty to himself,''and that the man could marry you when you were divorced; which I suppose he_ would_ have done if he had lived?
43971Heriot?"
43971Heriot?"
43971Heriot?"
43971Heriot?"
43971Heriot?"
43971Heriot?"
43971How can you think me so ridiculous?"
43971How did he know that it was Field-- had she mentioned his name in the letter?
43971How did this relative come to be at the hotel?
43971How do you mean?"
43971How does it strike you, Miss Cheriton?
43971I do n''t like walking here alone; ca n''t you come with me?"
43971I do n''t think you ever saw my sister, did you?
43971I mean, do you think you were wise to encourage her hopes in such a direction at all?
43971I recited to you, if you remember, and----""Did you?"
43971I said to him,''Dear Mamie''s away, the servant tells me?''
43971I say perhaps it''s all for the best, Mr. Heriot, eh?
43971I scarcely hoped---- How are you, old man?
43971I suppose you can hardly remember England, can you?"
43971I wonder if you know anybody who could give her any introductions?"
43971I---- Oh, what am I to tell her?
43971I----Won''t you sit down?"
43971If he had lived and married you, would you be happy?"
43971If she did write a play that was produced one day, or if she did n''t, what earthly consequence was it?
43971If she had made a blunder, would it improve matters to perpetuate it?
43971If you think it necessary to remain---- I see you have taken a room?
43971If----""Wo n''t you go on?"
43971In the meantime you''ll stay where you are, eh?
43971Is Mrs. Baines at home?"
43971Is it any more ridiculous to aspire to one profession than another?
43971Is it necessary for us to talk about it much?
43971Is n''t it some mistake?
43971Is n''t it wonderful?"
43971Is this sort of thing worthy of you?"
43971It is a great success, is n''t it?"
43971It might prove a start for you; who knows?
43971It seems extraordinary that influenza should prove so serious?
43971It was funny, your being here, was n''t it?...
43971It was n''t so?"
43971It will suit the Pall Mall down to the ground, and I should like it done there, only----""Only what?"
43971It would n''t be repugnant to you?"
43971Let me see you to Victoria; I suppose that''s where you are going?"
43971Mamie, wo n''t you stay?"
43971Mamie?"
43971Mamie?"
43971May I tell them to bring you some tea now?"
43971My darling, what have you to look forward to?
43971My name is Mabel Forbes; but I daresay you heard Passmore speak to me?"
43971My telegram must have prepared you?
43971Nice pieces?"
43971Not of your-- er-- work?"
43971Now, I read the piece out to you, dear, did n''t I?
43971Now_ I_----""Yes?"
43971Of what consequence was it where she was staying?
43971One does n''t ask a great deal of women, but had you any single thing in common?"
43971Only----Do you think, if-- if there''s anything afterwards, that a woman who''s gone wrong like me will be punished?"
43971Operas, and drives, and all manner of things to soothe your conscience he gave you, no doubt?"
43971Or is that phase of English government now also to pass?
43971Or they might have impromptu dances?
43971Passmore had n''t got anything for you, had he?"
43971Passmore''s?"
43971Passmore?"
43971Passmore?"
43971Perhaps there was music, and the girl sang?
43971Perhaps you''ll stay and dine?''
43971Prettier than_ I_ used to be?"
43971Really?
43971Shall I-- will you care to hear what he says?"
43971Shall you ever come to America again, Sir George?"
43971Shall you-- will you speak to me again after this evening, or is this the last talk we shall have?
43971She did not speak, and after a minute he said:"Will it jar upon you if I say,''Let us talk''?"
43971She must be a woman, Cheriton?"
43971She''ll make an admirable mother, and that''s the main thing, I suppose?"
43971Should she marry Lucas or not?
43971So you are going away?"
43971Suppose we all dine together at the hotel, and go on from there?
43971Surely in those hours she had loved him?
43971Surely it ca n''t be so difficult to get an opening like that, if one knows how to set about it?"
43971That I may last two years, perhaps, instead of one?
43971That had not been gratitude-- a sense of duty merely?--had she not loved him then?
43971The life was appalling, but when all was said, was it more limited than Aunt Lydia?
43971The violet in the hedgerow''bloomed unseen,''--or''died unknown,''was it?
43971Then why should it be impossible?
43971There''s a delicacy, a spiritual----""Has she been trained?"
43971These women you''ll be thrown amongst----""Some, at least,"she said,"will be like myself, surely?
43971They were not looking at each other any longer, and her voice trembled a little as she replied:"You were n''t fond enough of her?"
43971This Mrs. Payne-- or Baynes-- is not a connection you will be proud of, I take it?"
43971Though, I suppose, with_ him_ you were out among gaieties every night?"
43971Was he awake?
43971Was it real?
43971Was it?
43971Was she a companion?"
43971Was she used to your world?
43971We shall see Miss Cheriton at Sandhills, I hope?
43971What after all had they done to her, what change in the beloved identity had they wrought, those months that were past?
43971What did you do in Chicago, Cheriton?"
43971What do you say?"
43971What else do you propose?"
43971What if they do n''t consent?"
43971What is it?
43971What of it?"
43971What on earth does the public care?
43971What shall you do?"
43971What should I be if I faltered because the path is n''t strewn with roses?
43971What sort of pieces do you say, dear?
43971What steps do you mean to take, Miss Cheriton?
43971What the devil do you want?"
43971What was to become of her if they separated?
43971What_ can_ I do to get an engagement?"
43971When are you going to Niagara?
43971When did you arrive?"
43971When do you marry?"
43971When does the-- how do you say it?
43971When does your holiday end?"
43971Where do you find her weak?"
43971Where were you last?"
43971Which line of conduct did she prefer?
43971Which of them would be lucky to- day?
43971Who had telegraphed?
43971Why ca n''t you say''yes''?"
43971Why do you disappoint me now?
43971Why have n''t you?"
43971Why should you care?
43971Why talk about it?...
43971Will you come with us?"
43971Will you come?"
43971Will you marry me?"
43971Will you, Mamie?"
43971Wo n''t you consent?
43971Wo n''t you say you''re glad to see me?"
43971Would it indeed be weakness-- would it not rather be strength, the courage of his convictions?
43971Would you, if I sent?"
43971Yes, I suppose he_ could_ marry her then, could n''t he?
43971Yes,"Grosvenor Road,"and then-- what next?
43971Yet were he but"weak"enough?
43971You do n''t mind my saying that I hate the adjectives you used, though, do you?
43971You do n''t say a person is''paint- struck,''or''ink- struck,''or anything else''-struck''; why the sneer when one is drawn towards the theatre?
43971You do n''t think I''m too old for her?"
43971You do n''t write plays?"
43971You don''t-- you do n''t intend to have a divorce?"
43971You go up to one of the principals, and say,''Lord Tomnoddy, where''s that bracelet you promised to send me when I saw you at Kempton Park?''
43971You know I''ve lost him-- she told you that?
43971You know that, I''m sure?"
43971You know-- you know I saw Mr. Heriot after you''d gone, do n''t you?"
43971You understand?
43971You''ll not be so mad as to refuse at the last moment?"
43971You''re American, are n''t you?"
43971You''re not discouraged?"
43971You''re still at the Bar, eh?"
43971You''ve been with_ her_?"
43971_ A Clever Man''s Son_?"
43971_ You_ never married, eh?"
43971_ You_ would rather grow potatoes than roses, eh?"
43971do you mean it?"
43971do you remember saying that?
43971exclaimed Mamie;"it''s frightfully warm, do n''t you think so?"
43971he asked;"any better?"
43971said Mrs. Baines...."Whatever are you saying, Mr. Heriot?
43971she said presently;"were you in New York all the time?"
43971was there ever a face more pure?
43971what''s the use of blinking the matter now?
9498''"Hello, is somebody in here?"
9498''"Strew on us roses, roses,"''quoted Byrne, adding after a while, in wistful mockery:''"And never a sprig of yew"--eh?''
9498''Am I not uneasy?''
9498''And I for breakfast-- but shall I do?''
9498''And I, Siegmund?''
9498''And I?''
9498''And Siegmund, how is he, I wonder?''
9498''And are you ready for your supper?''
9498''And bring the bread and butter, too, will you?''
9498''And did ye see the ships of war?''
9498''And if you were ill-- you would let me come to you?''
9498''And shall I not be brave?''
9498''And then where?''
9498''And what sort of a time have you had?''
9498''And what time shall you expect dinner?''
9498''And when was this, then-- that he--?''
9498''And when we come out of the mist- curtain, what will it be?
9498''And why did he ask me so peculiarly whether he should wire them at home?''
9498''And will you be sad?''
9498''And you are glad?''
9498''And you?''
9498''And you?''
9498''Are n''t they fine bits?''
9498''Are n''t you going to bed?''
9498''Are n''t you going to get your chocolate?''
9498''Are n''t_ you_ having any?''
9498''Are there?''
9498''Are you sure it is not bad for you-- your head, Siegmund?
9498''Are you sure this is the right way?''
9498''Are you sure?''
9498''At Waterloo?''
9498''At least,''he said, in mortification of himself--''at least, someone must recognize a strain of God in me-- and who does?
9498''Because I scan a list of puddings?''
9498''Because we were n''t in till about eleven?''
9498''But ca n''t you_ do_ something?''
9498''But did we not come this way?''
9498''But is n''t it a beautiful evening?
9498''But shall we come down here in the morning, and find some?''
9498''But then, what then?
9498''But what did you go for?''
9498''But what has he_ been_ doing?''
9498''But what will he do, Mam?''
9498''But who did you go with?''
9498''But why should you?''
9498''But why?''
9498''But why?''
9498''But will you be able to fake the old life up, happier, when you go back?''
9498''But you agree?''
9498''But you have promised Louisa, have you not?''
9498''Ca n''t you forget it, Siegmund?''
9498''Ca n''t you forget it?
9498''Ca n''t you smell it-- like hot tobacco and sandal- wood?''
9498''Ca n''t you smell_ Fumum et opes strepitumque Romae_?''
9498''Catching what?''
9498''Could n''t you take me?''
9498''Did he?''
9498''Did it disturb you?
9498''Did n''t you have a good time?''
9498''Did you go to the house?''
9498''Did you?''
9498''Do n''t I know what you are?
9498''Do n''t they seem a long way off?''
9498''Do n''t you like it?''
9498''Do n''t you think it''s wrong to get like it?''
9498''Do n''t you think we had better be mounting the cliffs?''
9498''Do they?''
9498''Do you think the man_ wanted_ to drown the boat?''
9498''Do you want any supper?''
9498''Does she-- your other friend-- does she know?''
9498''Does the Czar sail this way?''
9498''Does the sea really char it?''
9498''Fasolt?
9498''For fear of alarming the old lady?''
9498''Forgive you?''
9498''H''m?
9498''Had we better go back?''
9498''Has she come?''
9498''Have n''t all women?''
9498''Have n''t you done it?''
9498''Have you ever noticed, Mr Holiday,''asked Vera, as if very friendly,''how awfully tantalizing these flowers are?
9498''Have you found an acquaintance even here?''
9498''Have you heard anything against us?
9498''Have you never seen them?''
9498''Have you noticed the waves?
9498''Have you read this tale of a French convent school in here, Mother?''
9498''Have you washed your ears?''
9498''How could I leave you?''
9498''How could I?
9498''How could we help?''
9498''How did you find things at home?''
9498''How did you get to know?''
9498''How did you sleep?''
9498''How do you do?''
9498''How long have you been in?''
9498''How long will it be?''
9498''How?''
9498''I believe you''ve got a tooth out, have n''t you?''
9498''I did well to ask you to come?''
9498''I did well, did n''t I, Siegmund?''
9498''I live here-- at least for the present-- name, Hampson--''''Why, were n''t you one of the first violins at the Savoy fifteen years back?''
9498''I suppose the newspaper will tell us?''
9498''I will, since I may not do more,''replied Siegmund, smiling, continuing:''And how is Sister Louisa?''
9498''I?''
9498''In the first place, what does it mean?''
9498''In what way?''
9498''In what way?''
9498''In where?''
9498''Is he taken bad or something?
9498''Is it a dream now, dear?''
9498''Is it a-- a natural sleep?''
9498''Is it so late?''
9498''Is it the least of the front rooms he''s in?''
9498''Is it?''
9498''Is it?''
9498''Is my promise so_ very_ important?''
9498''Is n''t it beautiful this morning?''
9498''Is n''t it nice?''
9498''Is n''t the sea wonderful this morning?''
9498''Is that why I have failed?
9498''Is the table ready to be cleared yet?''
9498''Is there no more time for me?''
9498''It seems another eternity before the three- forty- five train, does n''t it?''
9498''It''s after half past ten-- aren''t you going to get up?''
9498''It_ is_ blood?''
9498''Later,''she murmured--''later than what?''
9498''Like a housewife of forty going placidly round with the duster-- yes?''
9498''Mam,''Siegmund heard her say as she went down the hall,''has dad come?''
9498''Need we go-- need we leave this place of friends?''
9498''Nevertheless,''said Mr. Allport,''it''s true-- isn''t it?''
9498''No?
9498''Of what, dear?''
9498''Oh, is n''t there?
9498''On credit?''
9498''Perhaps you would like one of these?''
9498''Shall I leave you the candle?''
9498''Shall I let her out?''
9498''Shall I read to you?''
9498''Shall I?''
9498''Shall it be Hampton Court or Richmond on Sunday?''
9498''Shall it not be so-- no yew?''
9498''Shall we go out a moment, Siegmund?''
9498''Shall we go out, or are you too tired?
9498''Shall we go?''
9498''Shall we not go under the rocks?''
9498''Shall we sit by firelight?''
9498''Shall we walk over, then?''
9498''So many calories per week-- isn''t that how we manage it?''
9498''So you have lain there amusing yourself at my expense all the time?''
9498''Stare beyond it, you mean?''
9498''Surely he didn''t--?''
9498''The men- of- war?
9498''The noise, you mean?
9498''The young donkey, why does n''t he get out?''
9498''Then?
9498''They look rather incongruous, do n''t you think?
9498''To Brighton?''
9498''To Worthing?''
9498''Twuly?''
9498''Well, and what then?''
9498''Well, then''--and again there was the touch of a sneer--''if I ca n''t help myself, why trouble, my friend?''
9498''Well,''said Siegmund,''are there any postcards?''
9498''Were n''t they pretty?''
9498''What am I doing?
9498''What am I going to do?''
9498''What anniversary is it, then?''
9498''What are you shouting for?''
9498''What are you thinking of?''
9498''What day is it, Siegmund?''
9498''What did he say?''
9498''What do I want?''
9498''What do you mean by"leak"?''
9498''What do you mean?
9498''What do you say, Mother?''
9498''What do you say?''
9498''What do you think you_ can_ do?''
9498''What does it matter, Helena?''
9498''What does it matter?
9498''What does it matter?
9498''What have you got?''
9498''What is he doing, Mam?''
9498''What is he thinking of?''
9498''What is it, Helena?''
9498''What is it, dear?''
9498''What is it?
9498''What is it?''
9498''What is it?''
9498''What is it?''
9498''What is it?''
9498''What is myself?''
9498''What is she thinking?''
9498''What is the music of it?''
9498''What is the note in_ Tristan_?''
9498''What is the pitch?''
9498''What made her bring me the letters?''
9498''What music do you think holds the best interpretation of sunset?''
9498''What of yourself?''
9498''What primroses?''
9498''What then?
9498''What time have I for reading, much less for anything else?''
9498''What time is it?''
9498''What will she do?''
9498''What will she do?''
9498''What would it just be like now?''
9498''What, are you alone?''
9498''What, do you like it?
9498''What, has she been saying something about last night?''
9498''What, is that the stack?''
9498''What_ was_ the matter with you?''
9498''When does your engagement at the Comedy Theatre commence?''
9498''When is a hundred not a hundred?''
9498''Where have you been to?''
9498''Where is Helena?''
9498''Where is Louisa?''
9498''Where is he, Mum?''
9498''Where is the coffee?''
9498''Where it is horizontal?
9498''Where''s my stockings?''
9498''Wherefore?''
9498''Who called them"fairies''telephones"?''
9498''Why am I doing this?''
9498''Why did n''t you give them me to warm?''
9498''Why did n''t you send me the time of the train, so that I could come and meet you?''
9498''Why do n''t you go down and ask?''
9498''Why do you ask me?
9498''Why do you?''
9498''Why hell, Siegmund?''
9498''Why me?''
9498''Why not?''
9498''Why should I be turned out of the game?''
9498''Why should I want to label them?''
9498''Why should we?''
9498''Why should you cry?''
9498''Why should you want putting in a pinafore?''
9498''Why, how is that?''
9498''Why, mum?''
9498''Why,''she cried,''was n''t it all right?''
9498''Why?
9498''Why?''
9498''Why?''
9498''Why?''
9498''Why?''
9498''Will it be fine all day?''
9498''Will she be all right if you leave her?''
9498''Will you carry the basket or the violin, Mater?''
9498''Will you come and see if there''s anything wrong with my husband?''
9498''Will you have anything to eat?''
9498''Will you have cocoa or lemonade?''
9498''Will you make coffee, Louisa?''
9498''Will you want anything else?''
9498''Wo n''t you go to rest, Nellie?''
9498''Wo n''t you go to rest, Nellie?''
9498''Wo n''t you let me go by the South- Western, and you by the Brighton?''
9498''Would it?''
9498''Would the woman cry, or hug and kiss the boy when she got on board?''
9498''Would you care to?''
9498''Would you like this?
9498''Would you like to come to the window?''
9498''Would you rather have me more like the rest, or more unlike, Siegmund?
9498''Would you really like to travel beyond the end?''
9498''Ye did run well-- what hath hindered you?''
9498''Yes, I ought to have done, ought n''t I?''
9498''Yes, but the settled pitch-- is it about E?''
9498''Yes, he did belittle great things, did n''t he?''
9498''You are not afraid?''
9498''You are not alone on your holiday?''
9498''You are not an Anarchist, I hope?''
9498''You are not gone, then?''
9498''You are sure you''re not too tired?''
9498''You ca n''t do without me?''
9498''You have bathed?''
9498''You have made so many enemies?''
9498''You have n''t seen it this morning?''
9498''You have n''t sent them any word?''
9498''You mean I lose my attraction for you, or my hold over you, and then you--?''
9498''You wo n''t be tired when you go back?''
9498''You would like supper now, dear?''
9498''You''ll be coming in to dinner today?''
9498''You''re a bit downright are you not?''
9498''You-- what of you?''
9498After a few moments of watching the bank, she said:''Do you know, I have never gathered one?
9498Ai n''t he a rotten funker?''
9498Am I a servant to eat out of your hand?''
9498Am I right?''
9498Am I unconscious?
9498And at the same moment Beatrice answered, also crossly:''What do you want?''
9498And then what?
9498Apart from the gold light, and the hum and the colour of day, what was I?
9498Are they down here?''
9498Are you sure?''
9498As Helena reluctantly entered the mother drew herself up, and immediately relaxed, seeming to peck forwards as she said:''Well?''
9498As if in answer or in protest to her thoughts, Siegmund said:''Do you want anything better than this, dear?
9498At last he had something to say to Helena:''Do you remember,''he asked,''the roses of Sharon all along here?''
9498Beatrice called from the bottom of the stairs:''Do you want any hot water?''
9498Besides, I_ have_ burned bright; I have laid up a fine cell of honey somewhere-- I wonder where?
9498But are n''t they beautiful?''
9498But in the eyes of the world--''''If you feel so in yourself, is not that enough?''
9498But what then?''
9498But what will she do?''
9498But why should he have failed with Helena?
9498But, after all-- what is there to do but to hop out of life as quickly as possible?
9498Ca n''t you forget it, dear?''
9498Can you?''
9498Do I disturb them?''
9498Do I make any noise?
9498Do n''t they devour the sunshine?''
9498Do n''t you ever put anything on to heal it?''
9498Do you think so?''
9498Do you want a nice plum?''
9498Does n''t it seem to you to be travelling with us?
9498For what is a life but a flame that bursts off the surface of darkness, and tapers into the darkness again?
9498Had the world a heart?
9498Has n''t it been hot?''
9498Have I done anything?
9498Have I said anything?
9498Have you ever been through the larch- wood?''
9498He held her safely, saying nothing until she was calmer, when, with his lips on her cheek, he murmured:''I should be able, should n''t I, Helena?''
9498He hunted through the country and the sky, asking of everything,''Am I right?
9498He was walking down the path when the door was snatched open behind him, and Vera ran out crying:''Are you going out?
9498Hearing the front door open, Mrs Curtiss called from upstairs:''Is that you, dear?''
9498Helena let him go, shook herself free, turned sharply aside, and said:''Shall we go down to the water?''
9498Helena, did you see that?''
9498Helena, who was thinking actively, leaned forward to him to say:''Shall I not go down to Cornwall?''
9498Her little voice could be heard cautiously asking:''Mam, is dad cross-- is he?
9498How can one be outcast in one''s own night, and the moon always naked to us, and the sky half her time in rags?
9498How could he leave her alone while he watched the sky?
9498How could he play with the idea of death, and the five great days in front?
9498How could he set himself again into joint with these?
9498How could it be that he and Helena were two children of London wandering to find their lodging in Freshwater?
9498How much farther do you''think you can go?
9498How should I?''
9498How would it be?
9498I always think Scripture false in French, do not you?''
9498I think this is about perfect, do n''t you?''
9498I wonder how much you think I shall stand?
9498I''d rather see her shoulders and breast than all heaven and earth put together could show.... Why does n''t she like me?''
9498If Life could swerve from its orbit for pity, what terror of vacillation; and who would wish to bear the responsibility of the deflection?
9498If it''s too much-- what_ is_ too much?''
9498Is he there?''
9498Is it any good my going if I leave her behind?
9498Is n''t it fine to be up here, with the sky for nearest neighbour?''
9498Is something wrong?''
9498It is I who am to blame, is it?
9498It is I, is it, who am wrong?
9498It is so, is n''t it?
9498It was inevitable; then would begin-- what?
9498It would go on, after his death, just in the same way, for a while, and then?
9498It''s a pity to try and stare out of a beautiful blue day like this, do n''t you think?''
9498Look here-- who''d care?
9498Louisa suddenly stopped crying and sat up:''Oh, I know I''m a pig, dear, am I not?''
9498Nevertheless, when she drew near he said brightly:''Have you noticed how the thousands of dry twigs between the trunks make a brown mist, a brume?''
9498Oh, you are coming to Waterloo?''
9498Pulling himself together, he bent his head from the sea, and said:''Why, what time is it?''
9498Shall I put her down?''
9498Shall we come here next year, and stay for a whole month?''
9498Shall we go down to the water?''
9498She lifted her voice and shouted:''Mam?
9498She pressed her face in his breast, and said in a muffled, unrecognizable voice:''You wo n''t leave me, will you, Siegmund?''
9498She restrained herself, and immediately called:''You are coming?
9498She waited a while, clinging to him, then, finding some difficulty in speech, she asked:''Was I very cruel, dear?''
9498She was young and naïve, and should he be angry with her for that?
9498Siegmund was gazing oversea in a half- stupid way, when he heard a voice beside him say:''Where have they come from; do you know, sir?''
9498Siegmund was gone; why had he not taken her with him?
9498Siegmund was repeating deliriously in his mind:''Oh-- go-- go-- go-- when will she go?''
9498Sitting in the dark, Mother?''
9498Smiling quickly, gently--''''Never?''
9498Suddenly controlling herself, she said loudly at Siegmund''s door, her voice coldly hostile:''Are n''t you going to get up?''
9498Supposing they could not get by?
9498Surely he could help?
9498Swiftly he took her in his arms, and asked in a troubled voice:''What is it, dear?
9498The fields were very flowery, the morning was very bright, but what were these to her?
9498The little one waited for her father, calling shrilly:''Tiss ca n''t fall now, can she, dadda?
9498The question was, How should he reset himself into joint?
9498Then,''Is there really nothing I could turn to?''
9498Vera waited awhile, then repeated plaintively:''Are n''t you going to bed, Father?''
9498Very well, then, that being so, what remained possible?
9498Was Siegmund asleep?
9498Was somebody coming?
9498Was that really Siegmund, that stooping, thick- shouldered, indifferent man?
9498Was that the Siegmund who had seemed to radiate joy into his surroundings, the Siegmund whose coming had always changed the whole weather of her soul?
9498Was that the Siegmund whose touch was keen with bliss for her, whose face was a panorama of passing God?
9498Was there also deep in the world a great God thudding out waves of life, like a great heart, unconscious?
9498Was this the real Siegmund, and her own only a projection of her soul?
9498We are all glad when intense moments are done with; but why did she fling round in that manner, stopping the keen note short; what would she do?
9498Well, have you made the plans for today?''
9498What I mean to say-- for long?''
9498What I mean to say-- what''s the good, after all?
9498What about you, Helena?''
9498What are you going to do?''
9498What can I do?
9498What could he hold to in this great, hoarse breathing night?
9498What did he do?''
9498What do I matter?''
9498What do we want?''
9498What do you expect, after a day like this?''
9498What do you think I am, to put up with it?
9498What do you think I am?
9498What do you think_ I_ do?
9498What does it matter?
9498What has happened at home?
9498What has happened?
9498What is the good?
9498What is the matter?
9498What is the matter?''
9498What makes me myself, among all these?''
9498What shall I be when I come out of this?
9498What should I think of myself?''
9498What times does the train go?''
9498What was all this?
9498What was behind the gate?
9498What was he to do?
9498What will become of her?
9498What will become of us-- what will happen?''
9498What will you have?''
9498What would she do when she was thirty- eight, and as old as himself?
9498What''s the point?''
9498What''s the trouble now?''
9498What''s the use,''replied Mr Allport, turning to look at his landlady,''of going out?
9498When Vera had gone, she asked, in the peculiar tone that made Siegmund shiver:''Why do you consider the music of_ Pellà © as_ cold?''
9498When can I set my feet on when this is gone?''
9498When would the tip be placed upon the table of the sea?
9498Where are you going?''
9498Where is the north, even?''
9498Where was Siegmund?
9498Which is it?''
9498Whose are they?
9498Why did I come back?
9498Why did n''t you call me sooner?''
9498Why had she not smothered it and pretended?
9498Why had she, a woman, betrayed herself so flagrantly?
9498Why should I be parcelled up into mornings and evenings and nights?
9498Why should I discuss reasons for and against?
9498Why should they give themselves away any more than you do?
9498Why that"once could"?''
9498Why was he cruel to her because she had not his own bitter wisdom of experience?
9498Why?''
9498Wo n''t you tell me what is the matter?''
9498Would she speak?
9498Would she touch him with her small hands?
9498Would the child speak to him?
9498You are full and beautiful enough in the flesh-- why will she help to destroy you, when she loved you to such extremity?''
9498You have had your fling, have n''t you?
9498You talk about shirking the engagement, but who is going to be responsible for your children, do you think?''
9498You will not be long, dear?''
9498You will put the lamp out, dear?''
9498You will see us forth on our perils?''
9498cried Siegmund,''What will she do when I am gone?
9498exclaimed Hampson; then:''Do you remember Flaubert''s saint, who laid naked against a leper?
9498she cried,''How could we miss it?''
9498she exclaimed,''may I come into the fold?
9498thought Siegmund-- he was tired--''if one bee dies in a swarm, what is it, so long as the hive is all right?
61925Where would you be without my army?
61925Where would you be without my money?
61925''A flirt?''
61925''A little, I think,''said Julian,''will you go?''
61925''A woman?''
61925''Ah, do n''t you see, Julian, when I am sincere?''
61925''Ah?
61925''Am I?
61925''And that is all you consider?''
61925''And then?''
61925''And what am I?''
61925''And what if she does?''
61925''And what will he do if you throw him over?''
61925''And why is that surprising?
61925''And why?''
61925''And you demand of me?''
61925''And you tried to kill me with a dagger; do you remember?''
61925''And you will remember my hint about the Davenants?''
61925''Any news?
61925''Are we all crazy?''
61925''Are you laughing at me?
61925''Are you tired of me already?''
61925''Asleep?
61925''At what time is the procession due?''
61925''At your dressing- table?''
61925''Away from Aphros?''
61925''Because I am sure she is the type of woman he would marry, stately and correct; am I not right?''
61925''But of course,''said Julian quickly,''you do n''t allow Malteios to suspect this?''
61925''But why apologise?''
61925''But why remain thus, as it were, at bay?''
61925''But why should she hamper me, Anastasia?
61925''But you will return, Kyrie?''
61925''But, Julian, what could I do?''
61925''But, dearie, what''ll your mother thay?''
61925''But-- marry, Julian?''
61925''Can I go up to Eve''s room, Nannie?''
61925''Can you never forget yourself?
61925''Championship?
61925''Coastal steamers, fort tugs, old chirkets from the Bosphorus-- who was the admiral, I wonder?''
61925''Come with the gipsy?''
61925''Come, Eve, why are we quarrelling?
61925''Could I stop you if I tried?''
61925''Darling, to please me?''
61925''Dead?
61925''Did you tell Kato?''
61925''Do I deserve that you should say that to me?
61925''Do I regret the course I chose?
61925''Do you approve of her very intimate friendship with that singer, Madame Kato?''
61925''Do you expect me to say that you are pretty?''
61925''Do you imagine that we have nothing to do,''Don Rodrigo Valdez said to him,''that you set out to enliven the affairs of Herakleion?''
61925''Do you think,''she asked,''that you will be believed?''
61925''Do you want to stop me from going?''
61925''Does one come, ever, to a clear conception of one''s ultimate ambitions?
61925''Does she usually behave like this, Nana?''
61925''For the Islands, and may I not say,''said Kato, spreading her hands with a musical clinking of all her bangles,''for ourselves also?
61925''For the Islands?''
61925''For_ maman_ Lafarge?
61925''Fru Thyregod again?''
61925''Fru Thyregod?''
61925''Glad I''ve come back, Nannie?''
61925''Has he still not arrived?''
61925''Have I?''
61925''Have they really taken you in?
61925''Have you a theory, Alexander?''
61925''Have you tormented me long enough?''
61925''He is completely covered over?''
61925''He told you he loved you?''
61925''Herakleion?''
61925''His grandfather?
61925''How can I tell what I have been saying to you?
61925''How dare you accuse me?''
61925''I expect you have seen a great deal; forgotten all about Paul?
61925''I have had enough of these topics,''he said,''will you leave them?''
61925''I have never seen that man before; who is he?''
61925''I knew you were hostile, how could I fail to know it?
61925''I should lose caste in your eyes?''
61925''I suppose they are really treated with unfairness?''
61925''I told you I had no strength of character,''she said with bitterness,''what are my gifts, such as they are, to me?
61925''I wonder how much you promised Zapantiotis?''
61925''I''ve called you changeling sometimes, have n''t I?''
61925''If I am mad, you are unutterably cruel,''she said, twisting her fingers together;''will you answer me, yes or no?
61925''If it were?''
61925''If you could find a woman who was a help and not a hindrance?''
61925''In the meantime, go back to Fru Thyregod; why trouble to lie to me?
61925''In the water?''
61925''Including me?''
61925''Is anything wrong?''
61925''Is life to be one long carnival?''
61925''Is n''t that too much to hope?''
61925''Is that a threat?''
61925''Is that all you were going to say?''
61925''Is that all?''
61925''Is that indeed so?
61925''Is that so, Eve?
61925''It is true that we have talked of them by the hour,''she answered,''have we talked of them so much that they and I are entirely identified?
61925''It is true, then?''
61925''It means revolt at last; you will not desert us, Kyrie?''
61925''It was a crafty thought, was it not?
61925''Julian, have I not been consistent, all my life?
61925''Julian,''she said,''I rarely boast, as you know, but I am wondering now how many people in Herakleion would abandon their dearest ideals for me?
61925''Julian?''
61925''Kato may return to Herakleion with you?''
61925''Keep away from Herakleion?''
61925''Kyrie,''said Tsigaridis,''should we not move into shelter?''
61925''Lotus- land, then?''
61925''Marry?''
61925''May an old man,''he said with his deliberate but nevertheless charming suavity,''intrude for a moment upon the young?''
61925''My little Julian, have you washed the lap- dog to- day?
61925''My young friend,''he said,''they tell me you are leaving Herakleion?
61925''No?
61925''Nobody that I loved,''she replied without hesitation,''but, Julian, Julian, you do n''t answer my question?''
61925''Not for the world, but why keep me in suspense?
61925''Oh, Julian, what is it?
61925''Oh, but you?
61925''Oh,''she said, carried away by her interest,''is that Julian Davenant?
61925''Only a toy?''
61925''Our losses?''
61925''Shall I make Julie sing?''
61925''Shall we be allowed to go free?''
61925''She is unhappy?''
61925''Since when?''
61925''Steal you?
61925''Surely even you must find it too hot for battle?''
61925''Tell me, Eve, how do you explain your difference?
61925''The men are all at their posts?''
61925''The mice can not run over his face?''
61925''The only occasion, I think, Julian, when I ever boasted to you of such a thing?
61925''Then why had Fru Thyregod her hair down her back?
61925''There was indeed,''he replied;''do you remember an absurd tiny republic named Herakleion, which has since been absorbed by Greece?''
61925''This can never be; have you bewitched me?
61925''To Aphros?''
61925''To me?''
61925''Tsantilas, listen: can you distribute two orders for me by nightfall?
61925''Was that fair?''
61925''Well, Julian?''
61925''Well, Nicolas?''
61925''Well, your verdict?''
61925''Were you calling Mith Eve, Mathter Julian?
61925''What about him?''
61925''What am I to do?
61925''What answer shall you send?''
61925''What are these stories I hear of you, young man?
61925''What do you know?
61925''What do you mean?''
61925''What do you want done with your clothes?
61925''What else is there to consider?''
61925''What is it you want of me?''
61925''What is it, Eve?''
61925''What is it?''
61925''What is there to say?''
61925''What must I do?''
61925''What qualities have you?
61925''What secrets have you with Kato, that you must keep from me?''
61925''What will the islanders think?''
61925''What,''thought Julian,''does this old scapegrace politician, who must have his mind and his days full of the coming elections, want with Eve?
61925''Where are you taking me, Julian?''
61925''Where did that come from?''
61925''Where is my father?''
61925''Where is the Eve of Herakleion?
61925''Where shall I put you down?''
61925''Which is the larger?''
61925''Which of you made this discovery?''
61925''Who is he?''
61925''Why did n''t you trust yourself to me, Julian, my beloved?''
61925''Why do I always talk about myself to you?''
61925''Why do n''t you steal me, Julian?''
61925''Why do we, every one of us, refute the experience of others, preferring to gain our own?
61925''Why do you stand over there, Julian?''
61925''Why does he come?''
61925''Why have you changed?''
61925''Why must she be his wife?''
61925''Why not?
61925''Why not?
61925''Why not?''
61925''Why should he want to marry you?''
61925''Why, I have been there in a yacht, I believe; a little Greek port; but I did n''t know it had ever been an independent republic?''
61925''Why, how do you think of me now?''
61925''Why, then, withhold Julian from the Islands?''
61925''Why?
61925''Why?
61925''Will there be fighting?''
61925''Will you go out to Eve in the garden, father?
61925''Will you not come with Eve to my concert on Wednesday?
61925''Would he remain in shelter for long?''
61925''Would she leave Aphros?
61925''Would you do as much for me?
61925''Would you marry me if I wanted you to?''
61925''You are going away?''
61925''You are going to marry him?''
61925''You are not interested, Eve?''
61925''You are not musical, are you, Julian?
61925''You have never got over that, have you?''
61925''You know, I suppose,''she said to him,''that Madame Kato is a friend of Eve''s?
61925''You know?''
61925''You odd little thing,''he said,''why the adjective?''
61925''You sound incredulous; why?''
61925''You vain, you delicate, unreal thing, do you understand at all?
61925''You want me to come with you?''
61925''You will never marry?''
61925''You would do that-- without remorse?''
61925''You would not?''
61925''You''d sacrifice Aphros to me?''
61925''Zapantiotis sold his soul for money-- was it money you promised him?''
61925A Platonic alliance?''
61925A bomb has been thrown,''--(''_Mais ils sont donc tous apaches?_''cried Condesa Valdez.
61925A glimpse of her life had been revealed to him, but what secrets remained yet hidden?
61925A philosophic friendship?
61925A question left the lips of the postmaster,--''President of what?''
61925Am I not right?''
61925Am I right?
61925Am I to understand that you have permanently replaced your cousin in the-- ah!--presidency of Hagios Zacharie?''
61925And how soon before you return?
61925And why should Malteios return to- day, when in the preceding week, according to Nana, he had been so casually forgotten?
61925And why?
61925And you will remember the goodwill of Platon Malteios?''
61925Anger revived her--''Am I to waste myself on him?''
61925Are all women so irrational?
61925Are all women''s friendships so unstable?''
61925Are all women, I wonder, as vain as you?''
61925Are you going to bury yourself on those Islands of yours, growing grapes, ripening olives?
61925Are you so self- centred, so empty- headed?
61925Are you taking me seriously?
61925Are you to be trusted?''
61925Are you treating what I tell you with the gravity it deserves?
61925As he said nothing, she added,--''Besides, have I ever shown myself any of those things to you?
61925At that moment Tsigaridis, overcome by his anxiety, stretched out his hands towards him, surrendering his dignity in a supreme appeal,--''Kyrie?
61925But Eve has told me that you do not care for music?''
61925But for Eve... a girl.... After all, what is Madame Kato but a common woman, a woman of the people, and the mistress of Malteios into the bargain?''
61925But how could I have known?
61925But they must be blind to have seen nothing?
61925But what is to be done?
61925But, after all, what is this society?
61925But, of course, I was forgetting: Madame Kato is your companion here, is she not?
61925But_ I_ remain; shall I watch for you?
61925Ca n''t I put it right?
61925Can I not entertain you until then?''
61925Can you calmly contemplate the existence of an independent archipelago a few miles from your shore?''
61925Can you ride?''
61925Cowardly?
61925Did her voice mock him?
61925Did she care for Miloradovitch?
61925Did you give yourself to Zapantiotis?
61925Did you mean to create a revolution?''
61925Did you mean to ship me off to Athens, you and your accomplices, while you waited here in this room--_our_ room-- for your lover?''
61925Did you perhaps promise him yourself?
61925Do I mean less to you than the Islands?
61925Do n''t you hear the call of Paris and the world?''
61925Do you care nothing for the Islands?
61925Do you ever look forward to the procession of your life?
61925Do you know that I am betraying all the truth?
61925Do you know what monstrous things I am thinking?
61925Do you pay me the compliment of denying me the mean existence of an ordinary woman?''
61925Do you understand?
61925Do you want me to return to such an existence?''
61925Do you want to go back?''
61925Do you want what I offer you?
61925Do you, mademoiselle, know anything of your sex?
61925Does Eve listen when you talk about the Islands?''
61925During those hours, surely, his private troubles had been forgotten?
61925Eve he certainly could not trust; could he trust himself?
61925Eve heard Julian saying,--''Nicolas sends for me?
61925Eve, what do I care?
61925Eve?
61925Familiar to you, what?
61925Fru Thyregod, for instance?
61925Grbits replied sententiously, with the air of one creating a new proverb,--''Herakleion is open to invasion, but who wants to invade Herakleion?''
61925Hand the Islands over to Italy?''
61925Have you a boat?''
61925Have you been wearing a cap of invisibility?''
61925Have you considered?''
61925Have you ever seen a dead man?
61925Have you forgotten that in the last generation a Davenant caused himself to be elected President?''
61925Have you heard this woman, Kato?''
61925He found himself banishing the thought of Miloradovitch....''Have you changed?''
61925He has created a ridiculous disturbance; well, let that pass; we overlook it, but this persistence.... Where is it all to end?
61925He insisted,--''When did you really become aware of your own heartlessness?''
61925He loved you?
61925He said, pursuing his thought,--''You have never the wish of other women-- permanency?
61925He speculated amusedly as to the priest''s difficulties: an insurgent member of the flock?
61925He spoke to Tsigaridis,--''You asked for me, Tsantilas?''
61925Her voice broke upon his reflections,--''Thinking of the Islands, Julian?''
61925Here were all the vivid traces of her passage, but where was she?
61925How am I to know?
61925How am I to know?''
61925How do you find your father?
61925How many secrets like the secret of Paul are buried away in your heart?
61925How much time have you?''
61925How soon will it be before you forget the Islands?''
61925How soon will it be before you forget?
61925How soon will the launch be ready?''
61925I forget whether you are twenty- two or twenty- three?''
61925I suppose you saw yourself holding Panaïoannou at bay?
61925I understand that you have organised a system of communications?''
61925I want to ask you, Julian,''he said at once,''whether the story I have heard in the club to- night is true?
61925If not, one must surely spend the whole of life working in the dark?
61925In shame the words tore themselves from him,--''Had he any trouble?''
61925Interested and curious, he said,--''To please you, I should give up Kato?''
61925Irretrievably?''
61925Is he here by appointment with you to- day?''
61925Is it not magnificent?
61925Is it possible?
61925Is it true?''
61925Is n''t that profoundly illuminating?''
61925Is one simply deluded by your charm?
61925Kato exclaimed,''you have heard, Platon has gone?''
61925Kato played louder; she bent towards him,--''You love her so much, Julian?''
61925Like Samson, she had her hands upon the columns....''Madame Kato lives in this house?''
61925Looking at the plan, are you?
61925Madame Lafarge addressed herself to the group of men,--''I did not see you at the races?''
61925Madame?''
61925Malteios, you say?
61925May I come and talk to you?''
61925Middle- age-- I have been told there is such a thing?
61925Must your outlook be always so narrowly personal?
61925My poor misguided boy, do you not realise that your effort is_ bound_ to end in disaster, and will serve but to injure those you most desire to help?
61925Not a sexless means?
61925Now, a man is arrested on the Islands by the authorities, and what happens?
61925Of course they were lying; how could they not be lying?
61925Oh, what is there now for me to do?
61925One of the messages which reached him as he sat in the assembly- room had been from her: Would he send a boat to Herakleion for Nana?
61925Only once she spoke, to ask a question,''He would leave Herakleion?''
61925Or had the expedition been kept a secret from the still sleeping Herakleion?
61925Or had they been present, gnawing, beneath the mask of sympathy?
61925Or is he coming to- night for his reward?
61925Or, better, will you come to my house on Wednesday evening after the concert?
61925Perhaps you will tell this imaginary woman with whom you are to fall in love, about our Islands?''
61925Poor Carl,''she said reminiscently,''perhaps I have made him suffer; who knows?''
61925Prince of Aphros?''
61925Rowing- boat?
61925Seeing that her companion remained silent in uncertainty, she murmured an introduction,--''Do you know my cousin Julian?
61925Shall I go-- to whom?--to Malteios?
61925Shall I have the pleasure of seeing her?''
61925Shall I help you?
61925Shall I refuse?
61925Shall I tell you something?
61925Shall we escape?''
61925Shall we play a game with them?
61925She added, smiling,''In the realms of the impersonal?
61925She had spoken the last words with such impatience, that, torn from his speculations, he asked,--''Annoying you?
61925She laughed, and danced away, stretching out her hands towards him,--''Join in the saraband, Julian?''
61925She might, who knows?
61925She murmured again,--''And what am I?
61925So she must contend, not only against the Islands, but against Kato also?
61925So you think Herakleion will beat me?
61925Stay,''she added, searching in her memory,''was n''t there some extraordinary story about him as a young man?
61925Still a horror held him back: was it Eve, the child to whom he had been brotherly?
61925Surely men and women live in different worlds?''
61925Tell me what you mean by sordid and ugly-- what is there sordid or ugly in love?''
61925Tell me, are you fond of Eve?''
61925Thall I tell her?''
61925That I should leave you?
61925That you went to Aphros, and entered into heaven knows what absurd covenant with the people?''
61925That you will never betray?
61925The house of Platon Malteios-- Premier or ex- Premier?
61925The lazy voice, after a moment of silence, queried,--''Nana?''
61925The tongue was babbling in an empty body while the spirit journeyed in unknown fields, finding there what excruciating torment?
61925To break the image, he called out aloud,--''You were very deeply immersed in your thoughts, father?''
61925To this they received no answer, nor any to their next remark,--''Why so much mystery?
61925Under the fury of his unexpected outburst, she protested,--''Julian, why attack me?
61925Unnatural existence; unnatural?
61925Very naïf, very charming, very candid, very fawn- like-- or is it, hideous suspicion, a pose?''
61925Was it money you promised Zapantiotis?''
61925Was it possible that Eve made part of a limited brotherhood?
61925Was it possible that Eve was mixed up in Malteios''political schemes?
61925Was it possible that he should be attracted by Eve?
61925Was it possible that the attack had finally drawn away?
61925Was no sense of proportion or of responsibility ever to weigh upon her beautiful shoulders?
61925Was she to blame for her cruelty, her selfishness, her disregard for truth?
61925Was the standard of cardinal virtues set by the world the true, the ultimate standard?
61925We will work together?''
61925Well, what do you propose to do, my dear Julian?
61925Were the most radiant moments the moments in which one stepped farthest from the ordered acceptance of the world?
61925What am I to believe?''
61925What are you?
61925What do I, Kato, know of the houses you will live in in England, or of your English friends?
61925What do they hope to kill?
61925What do you do there?
61925What do you know?
61925What do you think?''
61925What else did you suppose?
61925What have I done?
61925What have I to do with a banking house in Herakleion, you with a few vineyards near the coast?
61925What have you done to my Kato?
61925What have you seen?
61925What is he thinking about?
61925What is it you want?
61925What is the grievance of the Islands?
61925What madness made me do it?
61925What part have I got in this world of yours?''
61925What part would she, the spoilt, the exquisite, play if there were to be bloodshed on Aphros?
61925What report of Aphros could I carry to Herakleion?''
61925What right have you to dictate to me?''
61925What spoken or unspoken understanding existed between the inscrutable brothers?
61925What then?
61925What was it, this bond of flesh?
61925What''ll you drink?
61925What''s at the bottom of that instinct?
61925What''s this instinct of wanting to stand alone, to be oneself, isolated, free, individual?
61925What?
61925When he had finished speaking, she asked him another question,''He could never trace the thing to me?''
61925When their greetings were over, Julian said,--''I believe you were asking for my cousin, sir?''
61925Where can one look for fidelity?
61925Where is William Davenant now, do you know?''
61925Where was Herakleion, stucco- built and tawdry, city of perpetually- clanging bells, revolutions, and Prime Ministers made and unmade in a day?
61925Where?
61925Which are we to use?''
61925Who had betrayed him?
61925Who has?
61925Who in their senses would harness the divine courser to a mail- cart?''
61925Who is she?
61925Who knows that the two ruffians I saw winking were not the very men we were after?
61925Why do we fight against government?
61925Why does instinct push us towards individualism, when the great wellbeing of mankind probably lies in solidarity?
61925Why had n''t I the strength to remain solitary?
61925Why should Kato apologise to him for the unexpected arrival of her lover?
61925Why so patient, so long- suffering, with Eve?
61925Why suggest it?
61925Why this mania for capture?
61925Why?
61925Why?
61925Why?''
61925Will I exercise my influence with Malteios to get his brother released?
61925Will he think me bad?
61925Will you come?''
61925Will you kill me?''
61925Will you not come and speak to her?''
61925Will you take the responsibility of refusing it?''
61925With an upheaval of sheets he heard her sit upright in bed, and her exclamation,--''Who said you might come in here?''
61925Wo n''t you realise that I am responsible for five thousand lives?
61925Would he urge his father''s interference?
61925Would he, Julian, who was young, be merciful?
61925Would they never succeed in getting away from the topic?
61925Would you like the tropics, I wonder, Julian?
61925Would your cousin leave Aphros?
61925You are not very jealous of me, are you, Julian?''
61925You assume or bequeath very lightly the mantle of government, do you not?
61925You go to England?''
61925You will come back?
61925You, placid, unemotional, unawakened?
61925You, unimpressionable?
61925Young Zapantiotis called to him from another window,--''You see them, Kyrie?
61925Your eyes smoulder; I am near the truth?''
61925Your father said to me apprehensively,"I am told Madame Kato''s flat was wrecked last night?"
61925Your intentions, excellent; but your judgment perhaps a little precipitate?
61925Youth-- were the years of youth the intuitive years of perception?
61925_ Allons donc!_ You, apathetic?
61925_ Je me fiche des Balcans._ And you?
61925_ un tas de rastas._ Do you think I shall remain here long?
61925a fish?
61925a house with me?
61925a necessary repair to the church?
61925and want so badly that he can perform the feat of coming out here from Herakleion in the heat of the afternoon?''
61925any news?''
61925but you?''
61925can you explain?''
61925dying down like a flame, to revive again?
61925had a wave, washing forward, deposited it gently, and retreated without its burden?
61925he shouted at her, seizing her by the arm,''or was he, perhaps, like Paul, in love with you?
61925how could I have known?''
61925leadership?
61925me black?''
61925meaningless because unnecessary in such a realm of serenity?
61925my own generation"?''
61925never the inkling of such a wish?''
61925nineteen?
61925now?
61925only answer me, are you trying to tell me that you have fallen in love?
61925or Eve, the woman?
61925or Herakleion independent of Greece?
61925or Kato?''
61925or Kato?''
61925or is there a deeper truth?
61925or the Islands independent of Herakleion?
61925shall I tell you why?
61925she cried;''I would n''t have treated you so, Julian; why did n''t you trust yourself to me?''
61925she forced herself to ask, and then, relapsing,''Which will fade first in your memory, I wonder-- the Islands?
61925she interrupted with scorn,''what has reason got to do with love?'')
61925so material, yet so imperative, so compelling, as to become almost a spiritual, not a bodily, necessity?
61925so transitory, yet so recurrent?
61925so unimportant, so grossly commonplace, yet creating so close and tremulous an intimacy?
61925some crazy adventure he engaged in?
61925that swept aside the careful training, individual and hereditary, replacing pride by another pride?
61925their exuberance, their vulgarity?...
61925this fallacious yet fundamental and dominating bond?
61925this unique and mutual secret?
61925this wanting to take from me my most treasured possession-- liberty?
61925to be forgiven all for the sake of the rarer, more distant flame?
61925was indeed a citizen of some advanced state of such perfection that this world''s measures and ideals were left behind and meaningless?
61925was she, not evil, but only alien?
61925what do you suppose?
61925what have you heard?
61925what on earth do you mean?
61925when the social system in its most elementary form starts with men clubbing together for comfort and greater safety?
61925where are you going?''
61925which is it to be?''
61925why are they ringing the bells?
61925why are you dressed?
61925why do I want to be independent of my father?
61925why?
61925why?''
15788Youmeaning, for instance... what authorities in the Church?
15788A priesthood of women too?
15788After all he''s not there in the room, is he?
15788After six years of office, who would n''t?
15788All I ask of myself is... can I pay Fate on demand?
15788Am I?
15788And Trebell...[_ He speaks through his teeth._]... do you think your accession to power in the party is popular at the best?
15788And am I to conclude that you do n''t want Charles to change his mind?
15788And are you the power behind your brother, Miss Trebell?
15788And been suspected of the malpractice myself if he''d found it out?
15788And do they still think it worth while to administer an oath to your witnesses?
15788And if I do n''t fight... it''d be no fun for you, I suppose?
15788And is that a reproach or a compliment?
15788And that speech at Leeds was the crowning move I suppose; just asking the Nonconformists to bring things to a head?
15788And then what we must do is to give the children power over their teachers?
15788And then?
15788And they do n''t?
15788And think now... whatever love there may be between us has neither hatred nor jealousy in it, has it, Henry?
15788And was n''t your bill going to be such a good piece of work?
15788And what exactly do you mean by that?
15788And what has become of your ideal?
15788And what would be left of me at all I should like to know?
15788And what''s all this nonsense about going to the country again next year?
15788And you took all the adventures as seriously as the Don did?
15788And... oh, was n''t I right?...
15788Anyone coming?
15788Are n''t they coming to dinner?
15788Are there to be facilities for_ any_ of the teachers giving dogmatic instruction?
15788Are we so incompetent?
15788Are you busy, Henry?
15788Are you doctoring him for once?
15788Are you in for perjury, too?
15788Are you in trouble?
15788Are you joking?
15788Are you serious?
15788As well here as by moonlight?
15788Because of...?
15788Been here long?
15788Billiards, Lucy?
15788Bit of a charlatan, do n''t you think?
15788But are we never to be happy and irresponsible... never for a moment?
15788But do both of you consider how valuable, how vital Trebell is to us just at this moment?
15788But how long do you think the spirit stays near the body... how long?
15788But marriage is a very general and complete sort of partnership, is n''t it?
15788But since Mrs. O''Connell is dead what is the excuse for a scandal?
15788But supposing Mallaby and the Nonconformists had n''t been able to force the Liberals''hand?
15788But tell me this... what education besides marriage does a woman get?
15788But what did Nature care for that?
15788But what has been the matter?
15788But what makes you so sure?
15788But you saw him, Farrant... and he gave you his opinion, did n''t he?
15788But you would admit, would n''t you, that we can only deal with temporal things?
15788But, again... have I been wrong to shrink from personal relations with Mr. Trebell?
15788Ca n''t you open your heart like a child again?
15788Ca n''t you see any wrinkles?
15788Can I do nothing?
15788Can I see him?
15788Can nothing further be done?
15788Can one impose a clever idea upon men and women?
15788Can she?
15788Can you accept thoroughly now the secular solution for all Primary Schools?
15788Can you forecast the opinion you will have of it six months hence?
15788Can you understand that?
15788Can you?
15788Can you?
15788Can your cousins and aunts make it so awkward for you, Horsham?
15788Cantelupe... what does perjury to that extent mean to a Roman Catholic?
15788Could n''t you have kept the true state of the case from Sir Fielding?
15788Could we not go and stay there only for a few days?
15788D''you know her husband?
15788D''you know why really I went back on the Liberals over this question?
15788D''you think I have n''t tried?
15788D''you think I--?
15788D''you think life is a bit like them?
15788Dead because she was afraid to bear your child, is n''t she?
15788Demonstrating something with a... what''s that thing?
15788Did her husband arrive in time?
15788Did n''t Lord Charles want you to send the boys there till they were ready for Harrow?
15788Did n''t you say she came to you first of all?
15788Did she mind much?
15788Did you expect Mr. Blackborough to get on well with Henry?
15788Did you expect Percival''s objection to the finance of the scheme?
15788Did you have a good holiday?
15788Did you hear Lord Horsham at dinner on the lack of dignity in an irreligious state?
15788Did you notice the light in my window as you came in?
15788Do n''t I look a wreck?
15788Do n''t you leave them to Mr. Kent?
15788Do n''t you like her, Lady Davenport?
15788Do n''t you see it''s only now that you''ve become a person of some importance to the world... and why?
15788Do n''t you think an aristocracy of brains is the best aristocracy, Miss Trebell?
15788Do n''t you think that is only sarcasm, Mr. O''Connell?
15788Do n''t you think you''d better go and finish dressing?
15788Do n''t you think, Cyril, it would be wiser to prevent your man coming into the room at all while we''re discussing this?
15788Do people know?
15788Do they place any time- limit to the effect of a mortal sin?
15788Do you all mean to out- face the British Lion with me after to- morrow... dare to be Daniels?
15788Do you expect me to go through with this?
15788Do you feel justified in making public use of it?
15788Do you find me so?
15788Do you hear Aunt Mary wants to sell the Burford Holbein?
15788Do you know how empty I feel of all virtue at this moment?
15788Do you never wonder if it is n''t steering you?
15788Do you really think everyone has gone to bed?
15788Do you remember?
15788Do you think I did n''t know that I was heartless and that she was socially in the wrong?
15788Do you think he''d develop into anything else... but for me?
15788Do you think it right, Julia, to finish with that after an hour''s Bach?
15788Do you think it wise to leave agnostic science at the side of the plate?
15788Do you think my daughter has been wasting her time and her tact?
15788Do you think the things you like to have taught in schools are any use to one when one comes to deal with you?
15788Do you think the world is grown up enough to do without dogma?
15788Do you think they do n''t take their revenge sooner or later?
15788Do you think they''ve met...?
15788Do you want the chances?
15788Do you want the curtains drawn back?
15788Do you?
15788Does he definitely disagree?
15788Does he drink too?
15788Does he like leading his party?
15788Does he think so now?...
15788Does it matter so much to you that I should have wished to be the father of your child?
15788Does it work?
15788Does my unworthiness then... if you like to call it so... make you unworthy now?
15788Does n''t Blackborough mean to turn up at all?
15788Does yours, Charles?
15788Eh... O''Connell?
15788Eh?
15788Evans?
15788Evans?
15788FRANCES TREBELL... Cantelupe?
15788Fanny... how fond are you of Amy O''Connell?
15788Fanny... will it leave you so very lonely?
15788Farrant, you do n''t seriously think that... outside his undoubted capabilities... Trebell is an acquisition to the party?
15788Forward to what?
15788Four years?
15788From what motives have we thrown Trebell over?
15788Full of dust?
15788Had I better give you a sleeping draught?
15788Had I better go round myself and see him?
15788Had I the right to choose or had I not?
15788Had Trebell any foreknowledge of what she did and the risk she was running and could he have stopped it?
15788Has she told you so?
15788Have I anything else in the world?
15788Have I found you in this the beginnings of a new one?
15788Have I stolen from Robespierre too?
15788Have n''t we always preferred it to the undenominational?
15788Have you anything better to do?
15788Have you made up your mind to that?
15788Have you not?
15788He goes quickly as if it were an answer to his anxiety._"Yes?"
15788He should have enquired into my character first, should n''t he, Cantelupe?
15788He''s Roman Catholic, is n''t he?
15788He''s very fond of me, if that''s what you mean?
15788Henry, have you at last managed to overwork yourself?
15788How are you, Cantelupe?
15788How are you, Dr. Wedgecroft?
15788How are you, Mrs. O''Connell?
15788How are you?
15788How can a man understand?
15788How d''you do, Doctor?
15788How d''you do?
15788How do you do, Miss Trebell?
15788How do you do?
15788How do you know you''ve the power of recovery?
15788How does he stomach me in prospect as a colleague, so far?
15788How else could I tell Horsham that my work matters?
15788How else?
15788How ill is he?
15788How long have I before Lord Charles--?
15788How long were we together that night?
15788How should I know?
15788How was Trebell''s guilt discovered?
15788How?
15788Hullo... waiting?
15788I could n''t have stopped it, could I?
15788I did... of that affair of his with Mrs. Parkington... years ago?
15788I do deserve them, do n''t I?
15788I do n''t think I have been the cause of your dropping Trebell, have I?
15788I have n''t been long there and back, have I?
15788I have n''t been much of an interruption now, have I?
15788I know that if your God did n''t make use of men, sins and all... what would ever be done in the world?
15788I mean, till this election is over Trebell counts still as one of them, does n''t he, Miss Trebell?
15788I mean... still nothing need come out?
15788I presume Lord Charles thinks it''ll hand the Church over to him and his... dare I say''Sect''?
15788I suddenly came over Chopinesque, Fanny;... what''s your objection?
15788I wonder?
15788If I accept your tests will you accept mine?
15788If neither you-- nor Percival-- nor perhaps others will work with him... what am I to do?
15788If this affair were twenty years old would you do as you are doing?
15788If you do n''t grudge your own strength, why should you be tender of other people''s?
15788If you had been in her place?
15788Is he going to die?
15788Is it the prospect of Disestablishment suddenly makes him so accommodating?
15788Is it with your husband?
15788Is it worth while?
15788Is it?
15788Is it?
15788Is it?
15788Is n''t Death divorce enough for her?
15788Is that Tory cynicism or feminine?
15788Is that a complaint?
15788Is that difficult?
15788Is that how you''re thinking of it?
15788Is that sufficient?
15788Is that true, Julia?
15788Is the curse of barrenness to be nothing to a man?
15788Is there any record of a speech that ever did?
15788Is this a matter for intellectual jugglery?
15788Is this what you call being in love?
15788It''s not altogether a pleasant thing, is it... the selfishness of the hard worked man?
15788Jude''s?
15788Julia, Julia... is n''t it unbelievable?
15788Just come?
15788Let me see... do you know my cousin Charles Cantelupe?
15788Mamma, have you ever discussed so- called anti- Christian science with Lord Charles?
15788Mamma... how many people, do you think, believe that Cyril''s_ grande passion_ for me takes that form?
15788May I ask, Cyril, why are we concerning ourselves with this wickedness at all?
15788Mrs. O''Connell gone?
15788My dear Horsham, what had it to do with our request to O''Connell?
15788My discovery must be what to do with the men who think more of the state than their Church... the majority of parsons, do n''t you think?
15788Need there be more suffering and reproaches?
15788Never mind... you''re here now to hand me half the responsibility, are n''t you?
15788No Chopin?
15788No doubt you use the words Love and Hatred; but do you know that love and hatred for principles or persons should come from beyond a man?
15788No matter what they teach?
15788No one knows about you and poor Amy?
15788Not founded with church money?
15788Now shall we finish the conversation in prose?
15788Now, what made your husband marry you?
15788O''Connell?
15788O''Connell?
15788Of course, I''ve enough money to live on... so I could take up some woman''s profession... What are you smiling at?
15788Oh, about dinner?
15788Oh, are you to be here?
15788Oh, my dear Horsham, ca n''t you see that if O''Connell had blabbed to- morrow it really would have been a blessing in disguise?
15788Oh, my dear... what is wrong?
15788Oh, what about Wedgecroft?
15788Oh... am I in your way...?
15788Oh... do n''t you think it was cruel of him?
15788Oh... how do you do?
15788Oh... you can do without compliments, ca n''t you?
15788On what grounds?
15788Or will they make a Tory of you?
15788Praise is the greatest of luxuries, is n''t it, Henry?
15788Providence limited... eh?
15788Putting Appropriation, the Buildings and the Representation question on one side for the moment?
15788Shall I bring him up here?
15788Shall I carry you?
15788Shall I drop you at Grosvenor Square?
15788Shall I offer to give evidence at the inquest this morning?
15788Shall you come, Aunt Julia?
15788She must work through men, must n''t she?
15788Should I have grown a beard and travelled abroad and after ten years timidly tried to climb my way back into politics?
15788So I have provided just a first step, have I?
15788So Justin lives at Linaskea alone?
15788So far as you''ve made up your minds?
15788So late?
15788So late?
15788So you need not have let them into the secret?
15788Statutes?
15788Suppose they convert me?
15788Switch off some light, will you?
15788Take Amy O''Connell that lace thing, will you, Lucy?
15788That night we were together... it was for a moment different to everything that has ever been in your life before, was n''t it?
15788That rather begs the question of your very existence, does n''t it?
15788That seems simple enough, does n''t it?
15788That''s always such a difficult sort of point to determine, is n''t it?
15788That''s dead and buried now, is n''t it?
15788That''s priggish, is n''t it?
15788The Bill ca n''t be brought into the Lords... and who''s going to take Disestablishment through the Commons for us?
15788The fear of life... do you think it was... which is the beginning of all evil?
15788The little fool, the little fool... why did she kill my child?
15788The rest is just mutual attraction?
15788The rule of them is the same for all, is it not... from the tramp and the labourer to the plutocrat in his car?
15788Then comes the test... have we faith enough to go on... to go through with the unknown thing?
15788Then what did he say?
15788Then why do you want to kiss me?
15788Then why should she value your gift?
15788Then you''d leave us, Trebell?
15788There''d be others?
15788There''s nobody that need be suspecting, is there?
15788They wo n''t have to be answered now... will they?
15788This looks like popularity and the great heart of the people, does n''t it?
15788To get what I want, without paying more than it''s worth to me....?
15788To the other inquest?
15788To- night?
15788Trebell, what did you want to come here for?
15788Under public control?
15788Walter?
15788Want me to...?
15788Was he told of the whole business?
15788Was that before Lord Horsham wrote to you?
15788Was that wrong... ought n''t I to have touched it?
15788Was the end very sudden?
15788We can stop thinking of this dead woman, ca n''t we?
15788We''re a common sense couple, are n''t we?
15788Wedgecroft, what is the utmost O''Connell will be called upon to do for us... for Trebell?
15788Well now... will you explain to me this project for endowing Education with your surplus?
15788Well, Mamma, can we do without Mr. Trebell?
15788Well, what does that care as long as scandal''s its own copyright?
15788Well, what''s to become of my bill?
15788Well... he did n''t?
15788Well... in here?
15788Well... we could n''t carry a bill you disapproved of, could we?
15788Well?
15788Were n''t we doing our best?
15788What about a messenger?
15788What age are you now... forty- six... forty- seven?
15788What are men to do when this is how women use the freedom we have given them?
15788What are you writing?
15788What are yours?
15788What did it matter what I thought her?
15788What do you do... just slide the bolt?
15788What do you mean to do?
15788What do you say to that?
15788What do you start thinking of once the shock''s over?
15788What do you think Trebell will do now?
15788What does he propose?
15788What does it matter?
15788What does she say?
15788What else can it be?
15788What fool?
15788What had Percival to say on the subject, Farrant?
15788What has all that to do with it?
15788What has it to do with you anyhow?
15788What have I to do at all with Mr. Trebell as a man?
15788What have you been working at?
15788What have you to say about that?
15788What is his point?
15788What is it you''re worried about... if a mere sister may ask?
15788What is it, Simpson?
15788What is it?
15788What is it?
15788What is more crushingly finite than knowledge?
15788What is to be said to Mr. O''Connell when he comes?
15788What made them bring in Resolutions?
15788What made you take up with me at all?
15788What time did you ask him to come, Horsham?
15788What time did you say, Wedgecroft?
15788What will you have?
15788What would you do with it?
15788What''ll the Nonconformists say?
15788What''s Now- a- days?
15788What''s a woman to do?
15788What''s beneath trust deeds and last wills and testaments, and even acts of Parliament and official creeds?
15788What''s the test of godliness, but your power to receive the new idea in whatever form it comes and give it life?
15788What''s this, Kent, about Trebell''s making you his secretary?
15788What''s your brother working at?
15788When did you last use that nursery name?
15788When will you, then?
15788When''ll he be up and about?
15788Who ever proposed to insist on pillorying every case of spasmodic adultery?
15788Who is going to put out a finger to make it less awkward for Horsham to stick to you if there''s a chance of your going under?
15788Why ca n''t women take love- affairs so lightly?
15788Why ca n''t you make up your mind?
15788Why did you never believe in any woman?
15788Why do n''t you tell me?
15788Why has Lord Horsham thrown you over then... or has n''t that anything to do with it?
15788Why have you been talking to me as if I were someone else?
15788Why is it always the highest who fall?
15788Why not turn all those theology mongers into doctors or schoolmasters?
15788Why not?
15788Why offensive?
15788Why should I flinch?
15788Why should they question her on such a point if O''Connell says nothing?
15788Why should you cry out at a proof now and then of what''s always in the hearts of most of us?
15788Why, is Walter a fool?
15788Why... it is n''t known that he will definitely ask me to join?
15788Why?
15788Will the afternoon do?
15788Will they...?
15788Will you allow me that it is statecraft to make a profession profitable?
15788Will you decide to- night?
15788Will you dictate?
15788Will you please to make allowance, Lord Charles, for a mediaeval scholar''s contempt of modern government?
15788Will you take charge of the bill, Blackborough?
15788Will you wear my skirt?
15788Wo n''t he sell or wo n''t they purchase?
15788Wo n''t it comfort you to think of drunkenness as a beautiful thing?
15788Wo n''t it?
15788Wo n''t you go in?
15788Wo n''t you tell me whom to go to?
15788Would they have thought of that and stopped whispering about the scandal?
15788Yes, Charles?
15788Yes... our minds have been much relieved within the last half hour, have n''t they?
15788Yes... the scandal would smash you, would n''t it?
15788Yes... what exactly do you propose we shall say to O''Connell, Wedgecroft?
15788Yes?
15788You are forming it to carry disestablishment, are you not, Cyril?
15788You did n''t...?
15788You have n''t very nice ideas, have you?
15788You have sent for me, Lord Horsham?
15788You know how this misery began?
15788You make little treaties with Truth and with Beauty, and what can disturb you?
15788You mean if they''d had to throw you over?
15788You realise that, do n''t you?
15788You think I''ve a mind to put an end to that same?
15788You think Life''s an important thing, do n''t you?
15788You think so?
15788You value your work more than anything else in the world?
15788You''d have me first your plaything and then Nature''s, would you?
15788You''d marry me, would n''t you?
15788You''ll dine at home?
15788You''ll stand by and do what you can, wo n''t you?
15788You''ll tell me what to do, wo n''t you?
15788You''re in town, are n''t you, Farrant?
15788You''re not ill... interviewing a doctor?
15788Your choices in life have made you what you want to be, have n''t they?
15788Your neuralgia better?
15788Your own life is sufficient unto itself, is n''t it?
15788Your trouble is nothing to do with Amy O''Connell, is it?
15788[_ A little impatient._] What''s the good of that?
15788[_ A little malicious._] Is there any particular reason he should treat her well?
15788[_ A little subtly._] Still... now you and Horsham are cousins, are n''t you?
15788[_ Affected; not quite convinced._] Do you think you can buy a tradition and transmute it?
15788[_ After a little scrutiny of her- face._] Well, if marriage is only the means to an end... what''s the end?
15788[_ Alert and cautious._] You want to endow colleges?
15788[_ All show of resistance gone._] Did he?
15788[_ Almost ill- temperedly._] How could he have stopped it?
15788[_ Almost provokingly._] What about him?
15788[_ Almost reprovingly._] No question of politics?
15788[_ Angry, remorseful, rebellious._] When will men learn to know one woman from another?
15788[_ As he bows over her hand._] And what has Education to do with it?
15788[_ As if half his life depended on her answer._] Is that true?
15788[_ Asking from real interest in her._] Was yours a deliberate choice and do you never regret it?
15788[_ At the telephone._] Yes, bring him up, of course... is n''t Mr. Kent there?
15788[_ Beckoning with her eyes._] What''s this, Mr. Trebell?
15788[_ Brought to his mundane self_] Well... are you sure?
15788[_ Clicking off all but his reading lamp._] So?
15788[_ Coming nearer without haste or excitement._] Well?
15788[_ Crying out._] Why... why did no woman teach you to be gentle?
15788[_ Curiously._] Are you afraid of death?
15788[_ Cutting her short, bitingly._] Has a time ever come to you when it was easier to die than to go on living?
15788[_ Dealing out justice._] I find her quite charming to look at and talk to... but why should n''t Justin O''Connell live in Ireland for all that?
15788[_ Dealing with the impertinence in her own fashion._] What would make you marry me?
15788[_ Dismissing that subject._] Well... how''s Percival?
15788[_ Disregardful._] And what is it makes my pressing attentions endurable... if one may ask?
15788[_ Feeling that he must take part._] For instance?
15788[_ Flashing at him, revengefully._] Why?
15788[_ Forbiddingly commonplace._] What''s that letter?
15788[_ Forcing the issue._] What meaning do you attach to it?
15788[_ Forlornly sticking to his point._] What has all this to do with Trebell?
15788[_ Gentle and ironic._] Have you ever, for one moment, thought in that sense of anyone else?
15788[_ Glowing to white heat._] Is this a time to count the consequences to ourselves?
15788[_ Going to the window as she buttons her gloves._] Were you on deck early this morning?
15788[_ Gravely._] What does your father say?
15788[_ Grimacing sweetly, her eyes only half lifted._] Does he?
15788[_ Hardly._] May I ask you to interfere on my behalf no further?
15788[_ He corrects himself smiling._] I mean, my dear Blackborough, why not stick to the Colonies?
15788[_ He draws her from the window; then does not let her go._] May I kiss you again?
15788[_ Her tone expressing quite wonderfully her sentiments towards the owner._] Do n''t you think she''d sooner catch cold?
15788[_ His eyes shift beyond her; beyond the room._] What is it in your thoughts and actions which makes them bear fruit?
15788[_ His face set in thought._] Where have you been since we met?
15788[_ His thoughts shifting their plane._] Was she so very mad?
15788[_ Humouring him._] Ought we to burn the house down?
15788[_ Imploring comfort._] But should we have held together through Trebell''s bill?
15788[_ In sudden agony._] D''you think I want it to be true?
15788[_ Including_ HORSHAM_ now in his appeal._] Does anyone think he knows me now to be a worse man... less fit, less able... than he did a week ago?
15788[_ Ironically._] Has he been pleased with the prospect?
15788[_ Irritably._] Why are you picking me to pieces?
15788[_ Kindly._] And you''re sure of yourself, are n''t you?
15788[_ Kindly._] Why do you pretend to be callous?
15788[_ Leaving the fellow to his subtleties._] Well, what about the maid?
15788[_ Letting it be a fairy tale._] Is your mother the Wide World nothing to you?
15788[_ Lifting the subject off its feet._] Not if I come out of the cabinet and preach revolution?
15788[_ Listlessly._] Does it matter why?
15788[_ Looking at_ FRANCES_ a little curiously._] Did n''t your instinct lead you to marry... or did you fight against it?
15788[_ Losing her patience, childishly._] What do you mean by the World?
15788[_ Measuring_ TREBELL_ with his eyes._] And by which shall I help you to a solution... telling lies or the truth to- morrow?
15788[_ Not to be put down._] What is the prose for God?
15788[_ Not too shocked to be curious._] Are there really?
15788[_ Not without mischief._] And what was the effect on the pupils?
15788[_ Only half humorously._] But what else is one to do with them?
15788[_ Proceeding with her cynicism._] Humanity achieves... what?
15788[_ Protesting._] No more?
15788[_ Pugnaciously._] D''you mean I''m just pretending not to attack him personally?
15788[_ Quite inexorable._] Would n''t any other woman have served the purpose... and is it less of a purpose because we did n''t know we had it?
15788[_ Readily._] Do n''t you think I''m taking it in a way... by marrying Walter?
15788[_ Really puzzled._] What do you mean?
15788[_ She comes in._] Is it very late?
15788[_ She puts a square envelope at his hand._] Is a letter marked private from the Education Office political or personal?
15788[_ She remembers the doctor._] Oh... have you been attending her?
15788[_ Shrill even at a momentary desertion._] What do you mean?
15788[_ So bored by these metaphysics._] Faith in what?
15788[_ So pleasantly sceptical._] Do you think they''d have outlasted the second reading?
15788[_ Soft and friendly._] How far are you actually pledged to him?
15788[_ Sotto voce._] Why did you ever make it?
15788[_ Startled._] Who else?
15788[_ Stealthily._] Is it, Horsham?
15788[_ Struck with the idea._] Well... why not?
15788[_ Struggling... with herself_] Oh, why do you rouse me like this?
15788[_ Suddenly a thought strikes him._] D''you think it was Horsham and his little committee persuaded O''Connell?
15788[_ Suddenly with nervous caution._] Walter, you do n''t know, do you?
15788[_ Taking another path._] Shall I tell you something I believe?
15788[_ The little snub almost bewildering her._] Anything private?
15788[_ Then he breaks away again into great bitterness._] No... what do they make of this woman''s death?
15788[_ Then hysterically._] God can make you believe in Him when he likes, ca n''t he?
15788[_ Then surveying his three glum companions, bursts out._] Well...?
15788[_ Then, as for the second time she reaches the door._] Do n''t take away my razors, will you?
15788[_ They both get up, cheered considerably._] You wo n''t forget this, will you?
15788[_ Thinking of those moments._] Did I?
15788[_ Throwing in the monosyllable with sharp youthful enquiry._] Why?
15788[_ Turning back enlightened a little._] That''s more the trouble then than the Cabinet question?
15788[_ Vigorously making his point._] Then what would be the conditions of your remaining?
15788[_ Waking to_ BLACKBOROUGH''S_ line of action._] Why on earth should you leave us, Trebell?
15788[_ Who has been listening, sharp- eyed._] Contrariwise, he would n''t have liked a Radical Bill though, would he?
15788[_ With a half smile._] Have you a vein of romance for holiday time?
15788[_ With a twist of his mouth._] Promised, has he?
15788[_ With an effort._] Kent?
15788[_ With an incredulous grin._] You''re not going back to extending old- age pensions after turning the unfortunate Liberals out on it, are you?
15788[_ With answering bitterness._] When will all women care to be one thing rather than the other?
15788[_ With charming insinuation._] And have you calculated, Blackborough, what may become of us if Trebell has the pull of being out of it?
15788[_ With coquetry._] You''re not interested in my character?
15788[_ With cynical humour._] Which I''m not to tell him either?
15788[_ With full voice._] But in the creed I''ll lay down as unalterable there shall be neither Jew nor Greek.... What do you think of St. Paul, Gilbert?
15788[_ With keenness._] Do you mean superhuman?
15788[_ With no trace of self- consciousness._] Well... how are you, after this long time?
15788[_ With reasoning in his tone._] Well... why not?
15788[_ Working up his protest._] Why on earth not?
15788[_ Yielding._] If I do... do n''t let me go mad, will you?
15788_ He is gone,_ TREBELL_ battles with uneasiness and at last mutters._"Oh... why did n''t she wait?"
15788and am I to write my prescriptions in English?
15788whose has been the real offence against Society... hers or mine?
3146''"Immortal spectacle,"--where did ye get that choice mossel, Haymoss?''
3146''''Tis the same story, then?''
3146''A WHAT?''
3146''A misfortune?
3146''Allow me to show you out through the trees and across the fields?''
3146''An answer-- to-- his-- letters?''
3146''An equatorial is the one instrument required to make you quite happy?''
3146''And alone?
3146''And are you bound to occupy the house?''
3146''And do you still go to the House to read to my lady?''
3146''And have the dead man left her nothing?
3146''And how came ye to bow yer head to''t, Anthony?
3146''And is it not so?
3146''And the other?''
3146''And was there any stipulation in the event of your re- marriage?''
3146''And what changes have come over Welland since I was last at home?''
3146''And what do I find them?''
3146''And what do this comet mean?''
3146''And you think that in your particular case the latter alternative will hold good?
3146''Are they gone?''
3146''Are those the only alternatives?
3146''Are you sure you can not retain the money, and be my lawful husband too?''
3146''At what, my lord?''
3146''But before the end of the year-- what places did he tell you of visiting?''
3146''But can I not study and love both?''
3146''But has Lady Constantine spoken of it at all?''
3146''But he is gone to heaven?''
3146''But how did you come by it, Tabitha?''
3146''But how does he put it?
3146''But if he should, must I then tell a lie, Lord forgive me?''
3146''But is it, in a human sense, and apart from macrocosmic magnitudes, important?''
3146''But is there a single thing else left to do?''
3146''But surely you was a bachelor chap by late, afore her ladyship got rid of the regular servants and took ye?''
3146''But the servants?''
3146''But the young man himself?''
3146''But what was the cause of your cry?''
3146''But would you like to see it?''
3146''But you_ do_ take as much interest as before, and it_ will_ be yours just the same?''
3146''But, Swithin, do n''t you see my new trouble?
3146''Can I assist you any further?''
3146''Can it be that I am mistaken?''
3146''Can not you do with your present one a little longer?''
3146''Can you come to me, since I must not come to you?
3146''Can you doubt it?
3146''Can you forget it, Swithin, for a moment?
3146''Can you indeed assure me of that?
3146''Can you see Saturn''s ring and Jupiter''s moons?''
3146''Coral?''
3146''Could not the telescope be brought to my house?''
3146''Could you not strive on if I-- gave you a promise, a solemn promise, to be yours when your name is fairly well known?''
3146''Could you not wait a fortnight longer?''
3146''D''ye think she will?''
3146''Dead, did you say?''
3146''Dearest Viv, why, what''s the matter?''
3146''Did it overtake you, or did you overtake it?''
3146''Did n''t you wish me to come to the house for it?''
3146''Did she take it?
3146''Did you accomplish your object?''
3146''Did you find any good treatises?''
3146''Did you hear what they were saying?''
3146''Did you watch the star?''
3146''Discovery, my lady?''
3146''Do you follow us?''
3146''Do you know that since we last met, I have been thinking of you-- daring to think of you-- as I never thought of you before?''
3146''Do you remember the date of his sailing?''
3146''Do you wish particularly to know what has happened now?''
3146''Do you, Swithin?''
3146''Does he take Europe or America first?''
3146''Does that suffice?''
3146''Done well?''
3146''Everybody else believed them, and why should you not have done so?''
3146''Going to run after St. Cleeve?
3146''Has he any suspicion?''
3146''Has it lowered me in her estimation?''
3146''Has my staying caused you any trouble?''
3146''Has the box arrived yet?''
3146''Has the whole top really gone?''
3146''Have you broken my message to her?''
3146''Have you discovered Swithin St. Cleeve''s address?''
3146''Have you nothing to say?''
3146''He has neither father nor mother, then?''
3146''He is not kind to you, is he, dearest?''
3146''How came the will to be permitted to be proved, as there could, after all, have been no complete evidence?''
3146''How can I leave?''
3146''How could you do it?''
3146''How did you know?''
3146''How is he now?''
3146''How is he?''
3146''How long are you going to make this your observatory?''
3146''How much is it?''
3146''How was that?''
3146''How, Viviette?''
3146''Hullo, Viviette, what are you reading there that makes you flame up so?''
3146''I am injuring you; who knows that I am not ruining your future,--I who ought to know better?
3146''I hope there''s nothing the matter?''
3146''I understood the column was always kept locked?''
3146''In what way?''
3146''In whom?''
3146''Indeed?''
3146''Is Lady Constantine at home?''
3146''Is enlightenment on the subject, then, so terrible?''
3146''Is he going to settle near you?''
3146''Is her ladyship here?''
3146''Is it Gambart''s?
3146''Is it of much value?''
3146''Is it that notion which makes you so sad for your age?''
3146''Is it what a woman ought not to be made acquainted with?''
3146''Is the good man come?''
3146''Is there soon to be a confirmation?''
3146''Lady Constantine, have I done anything, that you have sent--?''
3146''Lady Constantine?''
3146''Lord, lord, what unwholesome scandal''s this about the ghost of a respectable gentleman?''
3146''May I ask what it was?''
3146''May I go up?
3146''Missing?
3146''Mother, what shall I do?''
3146''Must I tell-- what I would not?''
3146''My good fortune?''
3146''No,--surely?''
3146''Nobody staying in the house?''
3146''Not distressed by my letter?''
3146''Not going?
3146''Not here?
3146''Now, dear Swithin, you will do this to please me,--be confirmed on the present occasion?''
3146''Now, have ye got any backy?
3146''Now, who might wish such a thing as that, Mrs Martin?--nobody in this parish?''
3146''O Swithin, what do you say?
3146''O, how could you think so much of renown, and so little of me?
3146''Of your late husband?''
3146''Oh, what then can it be?''
3146''Oh, you have not finished?''
3146''On a domestic matter?''
3146''On your honour, if you have any,''he said bitterly,''whom have you there in your room?''
3146''Or is she meaning to enter upon a virgin life for the rest of her days?''
3146''Perhaps you did not observe its real size,--that it was fixed to a frame- work?
3146''Perhaps you''ve brought the wrong book, sir?''
3146''Please how do you know so much, since my case has not yet arrived?''
3146''Remember it, will you, at a drier time?''
3146''Shall I conduct you home?''
3146''Shall I sing?''
3146''Shall it be done?
3146''She has spoken to you on the subject?''
3146''Since I have done without the virtue of it so long, might I not do without it altogether?''
3146''So, then, you will not accept me?''
3146''Suppose we stroll that way?''
3146''Surely you will not let your infatuation for that young fellow carry you so far, after my acquainting you with the shady side of his character?
3146''That envied power of self- control, where is it?
3146''That some great tumult is going to happen, or that we shall die of a famine?''
3146''The Bishop of Melchester?''
3146''The new Bishop, I hear, is a bachelor- man; or a widow gentleman is it?''
3146''The regular incumbent is away, then?''
3146''Then are you Lady Constantine, wife of the absent Sir Blount Constantine?''
3146''Then do you let everybody pass this way, or only that illustrious youth because he is so good- looking?''
3146''Then how can you refuse the only condition on which I can stay, without ruin to my purpose and scandal to your name?
3146''Then there is no road leading near it?''
3146''Then what am I to do?
3146''Then you can give me no hope of a reply to my second communication?''
3146''Then you mean to keep it?''
3146''There must be some solution to them?''
3146''There was no attempt to bring him home when he died?''
3146''This cleaning and preparation that I observe going on must be rather a tax upon you?''
3146''To do what?''
3146''Voices?''
3146''Was he a particularly good man?''
3146''Well, Hezekiah, and Samuel, and Nat, how are you?''
3146''Well, to whom were you speaking?''
3146''Well, you want to go home at once, I suppose?''
3146''Well?''
3146''Well?''
3146''What are you doing to- night?''
3146''What are you doing?
3146''What can this be?''
3146''What do you mean, Louis?''
3146''What do you mean?''
3146''What do you see?''
3146''What does this income of six hundred a year mean?
3146''What else can we do?''
3146''What have I to lose?''
3146''What have you lost?''
3146''What is it, then?''
3146''What is it?
3146''What is it?
3146''What is it?''
3146''What is it?''
3146''What is that?''
3146''What is the accident?''
3146''What is the matter, Louis?''
3146''What is the matter?
3146''What is the rest of it, then?''
3146''What monsters may they be?''
3146''What place is this?''
3146''What reason?''
3146''What shall I do?''
3146''What sort of an idea?''
3146''What then shall I do?''
3146''What was that?''
3146''What would really help you out of all your difficulties?
3146''What would you have done if you had not been already appropriated?''
3146''What''s that?''
3146''What''s the matter, for heaven''s sake, Viviette?''
3146''What?''
3146''What?''
3146''What?''
3146''When shall I be able to claim you,''he added,''and put an end to all such painful accidents as these?''
3146''Where can he be?''
3146''Where did the lash touch her?''
3146''Where does he say you are to write to him?''
3146''Where does your brother come from?''
3146''Where has Swithin gone to first?''
3146''Where is the observatory?''
3146''Where is your brother this morning?''
3146''Where shall I get?
3146''Where was he educated?''
3146''Where_ can_ that letter be?''
3146''Which one?''
3146''Who is that-- Amos Fry, I think?''
3146''Who is the friend of kindred pursuits?''
3146''Who lives in the old house behind the plantation?''
3146''Who shall I pray for?''
3146''Who shall I pray for?''
3146''Whose can they be?''
3146''Why I a woman, or you a man, dear Lady Constantine?''
3146''Why could it not have been less sombre in colour?''
3146''Why did you prefer to lunch in this awkward, dusty place?''
3146''Why did you propose it for an instant?''
3146''Why did your uncle attach such a cruel condition to his bounty?''
3146''Why do n''t ye go out and speak to her?''
3146''Why do you think that?''
3146''Why do you want that unimportant document?''
3146''Why must we forget it all?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why not?''
3146''Why should I have forbidden?''
3146''Why should you be so good to me?''
3146''Why should you force me to that?''
3146''Why so anxious, Anthony Green, as I think yer name is shaped?
3146''Why was I so incautious?''
3146''Why, do n''t you see?''
3146''Will he get over it?''
3146''Will it be much trouble?''
3146''Will it make any difference to us here?''
3146''Will the house ever be thrown open to gaiety, as it was in old times?''
3146''Would it be well for us to meet Mr. Torkingham just now?''
3146''Would you be interested in seeing the observatory, Bishop?''
3146''You are much obliged to me?''
3146''You are often on this tower alone at night?''
3146''You are sure it is not Lady Constantine''s?
3146''You had a great- uncle?
3146''You have?''
3146''You imply that if I were to marry a man younger than myself he would speedily acquire a contempt for me?
3146''You know the Bishop?''
3146''You know who he is, of course?''
3146''You leave me to- morrow, Viviette?''
3146''You made a mistake, did n''t you, mother?''
3146''You see that dark opening in it near the Swan?
3146''You will not miss the morning observation, if it should be necessary?''
3146''You will really be such a flat, Viviette?''
3146''Young men what?''
3146''Your brother?''
3146A Mr. St. Cleeve, do you say?
3146A curate''s son?
3146Am I not a fearful deal older than you?''
3146And have he carried his inheritance into''s grave?
3146And turning to Viviette she whispered,''Her years be so great, your ladyship, that perhaps ye''ll excuse her for busting out afore ye?
3146And why should you deplore your altered circumstances, my dear lady?
3146And will his skeleton lie warm on account o''t?
3146Are n''t you?''
3146Are you mad?''
3146As''tis so dark in the hut, suppose we draw out the bench into the front here, souls?''
3146But I tire you with this subject?''
3146But Lady Constantine detained him with,''Have you ever seen my library?''
3146But are you unwell, that you drive out in this chair?''
3146But how shall I know that you care to be so much to me?''
3146But look at my face; does the mark show?''
3146But now I am an old woman, and you are still a young man; so how can you love me?
3146But perhaps you would rather not?''
3146But was there a line of conduct which transcended mere self- preservation?
3146But what are they worth?
3146But what does that matter, now I have made the discovery?''
3146But what of that?
3146But what would I not do for you?
3146But what would Sir Blount say, if he came home and saw the goings on?''
3146But who can be sure?''
3146But who is perfect?''
3146But why had she expected otherwise?
3146But will you allow me to rent it of you for a time, Lady Constantine?''
3146But will you take my word of assurance that I am not so bad as I seem?
3146But your own conscience would surely be the best guide, Lady Constantine?''
3146Can I help you?''
3146Can it be mended?''
3146Can you meet me-- let me see-- in the churchyard, at half- past ten o''clock?''
3146Cleeve?''
3146Cleeve?''
3146Controlling herself by a strenuous effort, she disguised her despair and asked vacantly:''From America to the South Pacific-- Transit of Venus?''
3146Could he be depended on for such self- sacrifice?
3146Did ye bring along the flagon, Haymoss?
3146Did you watch every night, not missing one?''
3146Do you give me your solemn promise as to the last point, if I confide in you?''
3146Do you know that my discovery has been forestalled?
3146Do you know who he is?''
3146Do you think she will go away from Welland?''
3146Found the coral bracelet?
3146Glanville?''
3146Have you also heard that I am now quite a poor woman?
3146Have you entirely taken possession of this column?''
3146Have you his letter with the conditions, or the will?
3146Have you not wanted me dreadfully, to write down notes?''
3146He had worked hard, and why should he not be famous early?
3146He looked up at her, and with some concern said,''What''s the matter?''
3146Hey?
3146How and where does he study astronomy?''
3146How are you getting on with your observations?
3146How are you to keep yourself in sight of him?''
3146How can he?
3146How comes he to be staying on here?
3146How could she, an unendowed woman, replace such assistance?
3146How could-- the marriage be quite private?''
3146How did the glass get on my table?''
3146How did you know it was coral?
3146How does he justify himself in making such a harsh restriction?
3146How does it concern me?''
3146How long is it since she has heard from Sir Blount, Tabitha?''
3146How much younger must a man be than his wife-- to get that feeling for her?''
3146How old do you think I am?''
3146I ask you, can I honestly break that promise to my husband?''
3146I hope you are well prepared for the rite, Swithin?''
3146I suppose it is of no consequence?''
3146I trust that the prospect opened up by my proposal, combined with this other news, has not proved too much for her?''
3146I''ll tell ye what, sir; I think I''d better run round to the gentleman''s lodgings, and try to find him?''
3146In thinking of the heaven above, I did not perceive-- the--''''Earth beneath?''
3146Is it Charles the Fifth''s, or Halley''s, or Faye''s, or whose?''
3146Is it not all written in the chronicles of the Astronomical Society?
3146Is it nothing to you that, after all our vows for life, you have thought it right to-- flirt with a village girl?''
3146Is it so?''
3146It was once something to us, was it not?
3146Lady Constantine drew close to St. Cleeve''s side, and whispered, trembling,''Do you think they will wait long?
3146Martin?''
3146Martin?''
3146Mr. San Cleeve, making so bold, you''ve never faced him yet, I think?''
3146My workmen could fix it, could they not?''
3146Nature was forcing her hand at this game; and to what will not nature compel her weaker victims, in extremes?
3146Need it be said that he promised never to reproach her with that or any other thing as long as they should live?
3146Nobody knows you are here, I suppose?''
3146Not Louis, surely?''
3146Nothing serious?''
3146Now what do you see, Lady Constantine?''
3146Now will you prove to me that you are the same by owning some fault to me?''
3146Now you do n''t care; and who is to blame?
3146Now, at twenty, he was doomed to isolation even from a wife; could it be that at, say thirty, he would be welcomed everywhere?
3146Now, do n''t you tell him I''m in the house, will you?
3146Now, how many do you think are brought within sight by the help of a powerful telescope?''
3146Now, promise me-- I insist-- that you will not commit such imprudences again; for what should I do if my Astronomer Royal were to die?''
3146O Swithin, your remedy-- is it to go away?
3146O how can you talk so lightly of this, Lady Constantine?
3146O will he-- will he, come again?''
3146Or can we get out?''
3146Or shall I exile myself, and study as best I can, in some distant country, out of sight and sound?''
3146Shall I stay too, as we planned?''
3146Shall I take you out into the air?''
3146She added with an uncertain smile,''But how can I believe that, after what was seen to- day?
3146She supposed he had confined his search to his own sublime subject, astronomy?
3146She turned to him:''Now are you happy?''
3146Should he venture to give her thoughts a new course by a revelation of his design?
3146So it has made you quite forget me?''
3146So what are we to do?''
3146Something would, surely?''
3146Still, who knows?
3146Surely you are disturbed?
3146Swithin started, and said,''How did you come here, Tabitha?''
3146Swithin, are you sure that he makes that condition indispensable?
3146That power of concealment which a woman should have-- where?
3146The Bishop is a striking man, is he not?''
3146The latch was lifted, and a man asked from the darkness,''Is Mr. Torkingham here?''
3146The seeming is nothing; I know the truth, and what does it matter?
3146Then he looked again; till wondering who her companion could be she asked,''Are you often here?''
3146Then seemingly moved by second thoughts she bent forward and said,''Is the night good for observations?''
3146Then we are to tell nobody but the Bishop?''
3146Then what did you come for?''
3146To those with whom she came in contact she sometimes addressed such remarks as,''Is young Mr. St. Cleeve getting on with his observatory?
3146Torkingham?''
3146Well, little Freddy, you do n''t wish in the morning that''twere evening, and at evening that''twere morning again, do you, Freddy, trust ye for it?''
3146Well, well, where can my lady be?
3146What are you thinking of?''
3146What can I, can I do, that neither the Bishop nor my brother may conclude_ I_ was the woman there?''
3146What can you do to keep them out?''
3146What could this communication mean?
3146What did they say?''
3146What did you do with it?''
3146What do you want?''
3146What have you done about it, dearest?''
3146What is he doing?''
3146What shall I do?''
3146What was he doing?
3146What was her position as legatee to her situation as a woman?
3146What was it, may I ask, Lady Constantine?''
3146What woman has a right to blight a coming life to preserve her personal integrity?
3146What, are you going?
3146When all was over, and he was again conducting her to the Great House she said--''When can you start?''
3146When can you see me again?''
3146When do you start?''
3146When he had finished, and she had eaten little or nothing, he asked once more,''How do you intend to answer that letter?
3146When is it to be?
3146When is your birthday?''
3146When will you come again?''
3146Where should I have been without your gift?''
3146Where was Swithin?
3146Who could believe the Bishop now to be the same man that he had been a moment before?
3146Who makes equatorials?''
3146Who told you so?''
3146Who was she?''
3146Why ca n''t ye do something that''s of use?''
3146Why do n''t you sing more earnestly?''
3146Why do you turn your face aside?
3146Why have I drawn you off from a grand celestial study to study poor lonely me?
3146Why have you never told me about it, dear Swithin?
3146Why not stay here to- night, St. Cleeve?
3146Why not write to Sir Blount, tell him the inconvenience of such a bond, and ask him to release you?''
3146Why should she, to save her narrow honour, waste the wide promise of his ability?
3146Why should we try to observe to- night?
3146Why was it?''
3146Why were you so frightened at those old clothes I borrowed?''
3146Why, how old do you think I am?
3146Will it offend you if-- I ask you to leave?''
3146Will you do this,--watch the star for me while I am gone?
3146Will you fix the day?
3146Will you go on the journey?''
3146Will you kindly let Lady Constantine know this, since she is interested in my welfare?''
3146Will you never despise me?''
3146Will you never regret this?
3146Without the Church to cling to, what have we?''
3146Would he or would he not come the next day?
3146Would you mind going down, and leaving me to go into my room for a moment?''
3146XI Why had Lady Constantine stopped and turned?
3146XXII Lady Constantine flung down the old- fashioned lacework, whose beauties she had been pointing out to Swithin, and exclaimed,''Who can it be?
3146Yet how should you?
3146Yet was this assumption of his return so very safe?
3146Yet who knows?''
3146You are sure there is no escape?
3146You be not a married man?''
3146You do n''t seriously mean that the Bishop of Melchester has any feelings for me other than friendly?''
3146You have never seen it, have you?''
3146You know why, do you not?''
3146You scarcely knew me for the same woman, did you?''
3146You see that dying one in the body of the Greater Bear?
3146You will not go away?''
3146You would be head of the church in this diocese: what more can you require after these years of miserable obscurity?
3146_ I_ flirt, Viviette?
3146and shall it take place at a registrar''s office, since there is no necessity for having the sacred part over again?''
3146and would it not be an excellent thing to put it in practice now?
3146or does it not refer to you?''
3146she said hastily to Mrs. Martin;''do n''t ye see how it do raft my lady?''
3146supposing I agreed?''
3146what shall I do?''
3146why did you?''
47331Can one be pardoned and retain the offence?
47331Le bon Dieu nous pardonnera: c''est son métier--(_Closes her eyes._) Not parted?
47331She called you Mike?
47331(_ A little laugh._) Do you think that possible?
47331(_ A vesper hymn heard off at some distance._) Pity to die on such a lovely evening-- not quite well- arranged world?
47331(_ ANDREW does not reply._) You were surprised to find me coming back with Withycombe instead of staying till Saturday?
47331(_ ANDREW goes to door._) MICH. Andrew--(ANDREW_ stops_)--I was very restless-- did you hear me stirring in the night?
47331(_ Cordial handshake._) You''ve come to stay, I hope?
47331(_ Exit ANDREW with portmanteau._) FATHER H. Then this is good- bye, Michael?
47331(_ Exit FANNY._) MICH. What''s the matter?
47331(_ Exit._) FATHER H. Andrew-- have you noticed any change in Mr. Feversham lately?
47331(_ FATHER HILARY shakes his head._) You think you can give me that deeper peace?
47331(_ Glancing up at portrait._) What would she have said about it?
47331(_ Goes to MICHAEL._) Michael, you are at peace now, are n''t you?
47331(_ Goes to MICHAEL._) Michael, you are at peace now, are n''t you?"
47331(_ Going, suddenly turns._) If I come to you as a penitent, you wo n''t send me away?
47331(_ He frowns._) Do you mean to repeat this morning''s scene?
47331(_ He goes to door, opens it; a moment later she enters._) MICH. Well?
47331(_ He stands at altar in an attitude of prayer, his back to her._) Do you hear, I''m going to be very ill?
47331(_ He stands overwhelmed._) Why do you stand there?
47331(_ He stands stern, cold, repellent._)_ Enter ANDREW._ MICH. What is it, Andrew?
47331(_ He takes it to steps._) Will you hold it for a moment?
47331(_ Holding out hand._) Wo n''t you shake hands with me?
47331(_ Laughing at him._) I say, ghostly father, we make a pretty pair, you and I, do n''t we?
47331(_ Long pause._) Why do n''t you speak?
47331(_ MICHAEL unconsciously looks at his hands._) What are you looking at?
47331(_ MICHAEL winces, turns over the manuscript._) Have you found it?
47331(_ Pause, calls out._) Somebody is here?
47331(_ Pause._) If I were dying and I sent for you, would you come?
47331(_ Pause._) Is it anything where I can be of help?
47331(_ Pause._) What do you think?
47331(_ Pause._) What have you been doing all this last year?
47331(_ Pointing to the manuscripts._) Shall we go on?
47331(_ Puts it back in pocket, kneels and lights the fire._) Why did you come into my life?
47331(_ Rises, flings book on table, goes to window; takes out letter again, holds it undecidedly._) Why should n''t I read it?
47331(_ Sees her entering._) MICH. She''s dying?
47331(_ She takes it and looks at it intently._) Tell me-- what is your strange belief about it?
47331(_ Stops her._) Mrs. Lesden, what have you done against me?
47331(_ Whispers._) I may kiss her?
47331- On p. 99 of the LOC copy, Michael has the line,"When can I take the vows?"
47331A little pause._) Do you know what I was thinking in church this morning?
47331ANDREW seats himself._) You''ve sent for Rose to come home?
47331About what?
47331Across those fields where we walked the other night?
47331All prepared for to- morrow?
47331Am I in the way?
47331Am I interrupting?
47331Am I right?
47331And came back through the night by the mail?
47331And such a sinner as I am?
47331And that she is with us now-- in this room?
47331And that''s all?
47331And that''s all?
47331And to what end?
47331And we shrieked and laughed down the wind like mad children?
47331And when my feet are comfortably tucked up in my final night- gown I ca n''t run after stone saints in the dark, can I?
47331And yet you would n''t walk the clouds with me for a few minutes?
47331And you believe that you are watched by the dead?
47331And you dare go on?
47331And you think me your true friend, do n''t you, Andrew?
47331And you''ve had it ever since?
47331And you---- Have you had darker, deeper romances?
47331And you?
47331And your next meeting?
47331And yours is the only house on the island?
47331And yours?
47331Andrew, what is it?
47331Another man?
47331Are n''t women nine- tenths of a parson''s business?
47331Are n''t you proud of her?
47331Are you deaf?
47331Are you there?
47331Bad?
47331Besides, Chance?
47331Better for me?
47331Bold?
47331But if he finds out that she has been here, that she has sent again and again for him, and that we have hidden it from him-- and that she has died?
47331But is n''t that all that is required of a woman?
47331But it became known?
47331But of course you know who it is?
47331But then-- what then?
47331But was it necessary for her-- for Rose?
47331But why should we lose the other?
47331But you always employ Hannaford?
47331But you did n''t mean it?
47331But you do n''t really believe there is a devil?
47331But you wo n''t proclaim yourself?
47331But you''ve repented?
47331But your secret about myself?
47331But your work?
47331But, by God, she loves him, Ned, she loves him-- Who''s that?
47331But-- Good Heaven!--what have you done?
47331By the way, what has become of her husband?
47331Ca n''t bear what?
47331Ca n''t it be at some other time?
47331Ca n''t we talk this over further?
47331Ca n''t you forgive me?
47331Ca n''t you see, woman, that we are half- way down the precipice?
47331Can I be of any service, any comfort to you?
47331Can I speak to you for a moment?
47331Can you see me when I was eight?
47331Change, Father?
47331Confess in white sheets and candles together, you and I?
47331Control myself?
47331Did he give his name?
47331Did n''t I tell you I should ruin you body and soul?
47331Did n''t I tell you to ask me any question you like?
47331Did n''t that strange secretary of yours think it curious that you came back on Thursday instead of Saturday?
47331Did n''t you get them?
47331Did n''t you say I was?
47331Did n''t you say you could n''t sleep?
47331Did you hear me?
47331Did you keep it?
47331Did you know him very well when you lived here?
47331Did you notice that?
47331Did you?
47331Do I know you well enough to make your fire for you?
47331Do I tempt you?
47331Do n''t I owe everything I am and everything I have in this world to you?
47331Do n''t all our souls swing continually between heaven and hell?
47331Do n''t like what?
47331Do n''t they?
47331Do n''t think because I am bad---- MICH. Are you bad?
47331Do n''t you dread being parted now-- now this moment?
47331Do n''t you dread being unhappy here-- here on this earth?
47331Do n''t you find it an exquisite pleasure to feel your sense of power over your people, especially over us poor women?
47331Do n''t you know what you ought to do?
47331Do n''t you know?
47331Do n''t you remember?
47331Do n''t you think it''s decorated enough?
47331Do you believe the legend about Saint Decuman and Saint Margaret?
47331Do you hear?
47331Do you mean that?
47331Do you remember when we stood on the cliff hand in hand?
47331Do you remember?
47331Do you think I was jesting with you when I gave myself to you?
47331Do you think that you can have any influence on my soul without my having an equal influence on yours?
47331Does he suspect us?
47331Does he?
47331Doing?
47331Enter ANDREW, comes up behind him._ MICH. Oh, Andrew---- Well?
47331Enter SIR LYOLF up the steps and by door at back._ FATHER H. Well?
47331Everything ready for the ceremony to- morrow?
47331Except?
47331Exit the Organist by transept._) MICH. Well?
47331FATHER H. And about the future?
47331FATHER H. Do you know of any reason for it?
47331FATHER H. Does n''t believe you?
47331FATHER H. Dying?
47331FATHER H. How is she this evening?
47331FATHER H. How long has he been like this?
47331FATHER H. It looks as if it all came from one giver?
47331FATHER H. Michael-- I was asking Andrew just now, there is something troubling you?
47331FATHER H. Rougher than my Master had on his first coming here?
47331FATHER H. There is the legend that connects her with Saint Decuman-- I suppose no more is to be learnt of that than we already know?
47331FATHER H. This winter?
47331FATHER H. Well, what more can we do?
47331FATHER H. What did you tell her?
47331FATHER H. Will you find him and tell him that I am waiting to start?
47331FATHER H. You do n''t know of any one?
47331Fair or dark?
47331Fate?
47331Forget her?
47331Forget you?
47331Forget you?
47331Forget you?
47331Forget you?!"
47331Gone back to South America?
47331Good?
47331Has he any trouble, do you know?
47331Has n''t he something to do with the shaping of all our characters?
47331Have I done right?
47331Have I done right?
47331Have you any idea where it came from?
47331Have you anything more to take to the boat, Father?
47331Have you come far to- day, Michael?
47331Have you considered everything?
47331Have you made up your mind?
47331Have you seen much of her?
47331Have you thought what this will mean to you, to us, to the church?
47331Have you?
47331He is alive?
47331He stands cold, irresponsive._) Did you see me in church?
47331He suspects nothing?
47331How are you getting on with the Arabic translations?
47331How can you ask that?
47331How dare you play with sacred things?
47331How dare you?!
47331How did you know?
47331How did you treat my girl?
47331How far is it across?
47331How far is it to Saint Margaret''s?
47331How wasted?
47331How''s the work getting on?
47331How?
47331I came here tonight to warn you---- MICH. Against what?
47331I could n''t be of any service to you over at Saint Margaret''s?
47331I have n''t really given the devil power over your soul?
47331I heard some voices, so I hid again-- who was here?
47331I may ask that of you?
47331I may trust you entirely, Andrew?
47331I may?
47331I may?
47331I saw a boat leaving-- it was they?
47331I told him Mr. Feversham was one of your friends, but as I did n''t know where you were yesterday, of course I could n''t tell him, could I?
47331I was right, then?
47331I was right?
47331I wonder what a spirit is like?
47331I''ll ask the Standerwicks, and(_ suddenly_) suppose I ask this lady?
47331I''ve been dreadfully wicked-- doesn''t much-- matter, eh?
47331I''ve never allowed you?
47331If I leave you now, shall we meet one day-- hereafter?
47331If you should guess-- as most likely you will-- the name of my companion in sin, it will never cross your lips?
47331In England?
47331In church?
47331In public?
47331In the 1896 edition, this line was changed to"When can I be received?"
47331Is all safe, do you think?
47331Is anything discovered?
47331Is he quite trustworthy?
47331Is n''t it awfully lonely there?
47331Is n''t it gorgeous?
47331Is n''t the truth dear to you?
47331Is she worth saving?
47331Is that so?
47331Is there any other question you''d like to ask me?
47331It gradually grows darker._ MICH. What brings you here?
47331It has been one continual round of gaiety and excitement except when she was ill. MICH. She has been ill?
47331It is n''t much good thinking that now, is it?
47331It is victory, is n''t it?
47331It is your mother?
47331It must be?
47331It wo n''t be right, you know, unless we are lost or saved together, will it?
47331It''s rather a damnable heritage, is n''t it?
47331Its image?
47331MICH. About what?
47331MICH. And then your husband died?
47331MICH. And then?
47331MICH. And you think he has given me to you?
47331MICH. And you would n''t undo that morning''s work?
47331MICH. And your servants?
47331MICH. Andrew, do you hear that?
47331MICH. Betray myself?
47331MICH. Ca n''t you guess what it cost me to return them?
47331MICH. Do you indeed?
47331MICH. Do you see much of her in town?
47331MICH. Envied her?
47331MICH. Have I not controlled myself?
47331MICH. Have n''t you made it the chief business of your life all this last year?
47331MICH. How can I say that?
47331MICH. How did you come here?
47331MICH. How long were you married?
47331MICH. How?
47331MICH. How?
47331MICH. Is it so?
47331MICH. Is there anyone with me?
47331MICH. Mrs. Lesden?
47331MICH. No, but was n''t it a little-- imprudent?
47331MICH. No?
47331MICH. Notice what?
47331MICH. Of anyone''s soul?
47331MICH. Shall I?
47331MICH. She''s dead?
47331MICH. That they loved each other?
47331MICH. That your soul is in my keeping?
47331MICH. Troubling me?
47331MICH. Well?
47331MICH. What are you going to do?
47331MICH. What are you?
47331MICH. What do you know of her?
47331MICH. What do you mean?
47331MICH. What is it you want?
47331MICH. What makes you say that?
47331MICH. What now?
47331MICH. What of it?
47331MICH. What ought I to do, Andrew?
47331MICH. What then?
47331MICH. What time did you get back from Saint Margaret''s yesterday?
47331MICH. What?
47331MICH. What?
47331MICH. Why have you come here?
47331MICH. Why not?
47331MICH. Why?
47331MICH. Why?
47331MICH. Why?
47331MICH. Will you never be serious?
47331MICH. Withycombe?
47331MICH. Wo n''t you send for her, Andrew-- to please me?
47331MICH. Would you rather that she held up her head in deceit and defiance, or that she held it down in grief and penitence?
47331MICH. You saw my uncle off by the afternoon train?
47331MICH. You will?
47331MICH. You''ll follow me?
47331MICH. You''ve been ill?
47331MICH. You''ve seen Withycombe and told him you went to London?
47331MICHAEL goes to door, stands looking a few seconds, comes in, turns to his books._)_ Re- enter FATHER HILARY._ MICH. What is it?
47331Marriage?
47331Marriage?
47331May I come in?
47331May n''t I come into my own church?
47331Mean what?
47331Memories?
47331Michael, ca n''t you postpone this?
47331Michael---- MICH. Well?
47331Mr. Feversham ai n''t coming along with us, then?
47331My gifts-- what gifts?
47331My pardon?
47331Myself?
47331No?
47331No?
47331Nor the wonderful pale sunrise, with the lemon and green lakes of light, and then the path of diamonds all across the sea?
47331Not even about my soul?
47331Not in the very hour which should be the proudest and happiest of your life?
47331Not quite a well- arranged world, is it?
47331Nothing has happened to Mr. Feversham?
47331Now that their hearts have been dust all these hundreds of years, what good is it to them that they denied themselves love?
47331Of her soul?
47331Of what?
47331Oh, sir, was it bound to be in public, before everybody who knew her?
47331Part?
47331Public confession-- of what?
47331Question?
47331Scene?
47331Shall I do it?
47331Shall I leave you now and come again by- and- by?
47331Shall I risk it?
47331Shall I save her, or let her be lost?"
47331Shall I see you after to- morrow?
47331She called you Mike?
47331She went up to London, did n''t she?
47331She''s living here, is n''t she?
47331She''s there?
47331Somebody is here?
47331Sorry?
47331Stay-- what were you like when you were twenty?
47331Still jesting?
47331Stirring?
47331Sure?
47331Surely I may ask that?
47331Surely you must have seen the difference in him?
47331Take her away?
47331Tell me---- MICH. What?
47331That reminds me, how long are you staying, Mr. Docwray?
47331Then I''m not to call again?
47331Then I''m not welcome?
47331Then it was n''t possible?
47331Then why do n''t you do what is best for your own soul?
47331Then you do n''t dare?
47331Then----?
47331There are n''t many men who would dare lose this world for the woman they love-- how many men are there that would dare to lose the other?
47331They take up the manuscripts._) Where is the place?
47331They''re not coming back?
47331Tracing what out?
47331Try you?
47331Unless you''ll stay over the Sunday at Cleveheddon?
47331Until?
47331Was I wrong?
47331Was it a just penalty?
47331Was it bound to be in public before all her companions, before all who had watched her grow up from a child?
47331Was n''t it a terrible voyage, terrible and delightful?
47331Was n''t that Sir Lyolf who just went out?
47331Was that a happy summer?
47331We have conquered?
47331We sha n''t be parted?
47331We''re not to be parted?
47331Well?
47331What about this woman you were discussing?
47331What ails her?
47331What are the circumstances?
47331What are you looking at?
47331What are you thinking about me?
47331What brings you to this village, to my church, to my house?
47331What can it be but pretence?
47331What can we do?
47331What did Mr. Feversham do?
47331What did you reply to his questions?
47331What do you mean?
47331What do you mean?
47331What do you think of her?
47331What do you think, sister, is n''t that the beginning of a smile?
47331What do you want of me here or hereafter?
47331What do you wish me to do?
47331What does it matter where I go?
47331What does that matter?
47331What else?
47331What have you been doing?
47331What is it?
47331What is it?
47331What is she doing?
47331What made you guess?
47331What makes you think that?
47331What matter concerning other things, what other thing is there to matter?
47331What questions?
47331What shall I do?
47331What shall we do?
47331What should I forgive?
47331What sort of a man is he?
47331What was she like?
47331What were you thinking of?
47331What will you do?
47331What''s the matter with you?
47331What''s the matter?
47331What''s the matter?
47331What?
47331What?
47331When I love you with all my being?
47331When can I be received?
47331When my head is tightly bandaged in a white cloth, I ca n''t talk any more nonsense, can I?
47331Where are you going?
47331Where do you think she is?
47331Where is Mr. Feversham?
47331Where is she?
47331Where is she?
47331Where were we?
47331Where?
47331Whether the stage will know it again who shall say?
47331Which will it be, I wonder?
47331Who gave it all?
47331Who had higher aims and resolves than I?
47331Who painted it?
47331Who trained and guided himself with more care than I?
47331Who was she?
47331Who worked as I worked, prayed as I prayed, kept watch over himself, denied himself, sacrificed himself as I did?
47331Whom did it come from?
47331Why are n''t you there, in church, by her side?
47331Why are you here?
47331Why did n''t you beat me, drive me, hound me away from you as I told you?
47331Why did n''t you come when I sent for you?
47331Why did n''t you send before?
47331Why did n''t you take my warning?
47331Why did you send the money-- so many different sums from so many different places?
47331Why do n''t you do something?
47331Why do n''t you laugh at me and tell me it''s all nonsense?
47331Why do n''t you speak?
47331Why do you look at me like that?
47331Why has she come back to Cleveheddon just now?
47331Why have you sent back all my letters unopened?
47331Why have you sent for Rose to come back to Cleveheddon?
47331Why not?
47331Why not?
47331Why not?
47331Why not?
47331Why should I deceive myself?
47331Why should I deceive you?
47331Why should we not make our love the lever to raise our souls?
47331Why?
47331Why?
47331Why?
47331Why?
47331Why?
47331Will you forgive me?
47331Withycombe?
47331Wo n''t you let me kiss it before I go?
47331Wo n''t you light a little flame in our old lamp of friendship to cheer me on my way?
47331Wo n''t you make our love a monument for good?
47331Wo n''t you take it?
47331Would n''t you like to be a doctor?
47331Yes, I am happy-- at least, I''m peaceful, and peace is better than happiness, is n''t it?
47331Yes, I have acted faithfully to my people, have I not?
47331Yes, what''s the matter?
47331Yes-- we can find some accommodation there for the night, ca n''t we?
47331Yet if I do not-- what remains for me?
47331You are at peace now-- at least, you are gaining peace, you are forgetting the past?
47331You are back rather sooner than you expected?
47331You are happy?
47331You are resolved to go through with this?
47331You believed he was dead--(_She does not reply._) You did n''t know the night before last that your husband was living?
47331You can bear it?
47331You dare go on-- now you know?
47331You did n''t like him?
47331You did n''t turn up at dinner?
47331You do believe it?
47331You do love me?
47331You do n''t mean your gifts to the Minster?
47331You do n''t mind, Michael?
47331You do play with our souls, do n''t you?
47331You have a little business here?
47331You have had other romances, darker, deeper ones?
47331You knew he was living?
47331You know that everybody is asking where all the money came from for these magnificent restorations?
47331You think that law prevails in the spiritual world as well as in the material world?
47331You understand?
47331You understand?
47331You will?
47331You will?
47331You wo n''t be long?
47331You wo n''t begin work this morning, I suppose?
47331You wo n''t change your mind and come with us?
47331You wo n''t come?
47331You wo n''t keep me waiting too long?
47331You wo n''t?
47331You wo n''t?
47331You''ll come and see me at Majano?
47331You''ll dine with me to- morrow evening?
47331You''ll go?
47331You''ll let me put a bunch or two of flowers about the church before I go?
47331You''ll stay with us now?
47331You''ll take my gift-- you''ll take it, and make a home for her?
47331You''re alone?
47331You''re annoyed with me for coming?
47331You''re sorry?
47331You''re suffering?
47331You''re sure?
47331You''ve built yourself a house over there, have n''t you?
47331You''ve had a painful business here?
47331You''ve seen her?
47331Your boat, your companions?
47331Your character?
47331Your deep, deep devotion?
47331Your hands are blistered?
47331Your husband?
47331Your image plays in the shadows-- Oh, my light and my fire, will you burn me up with love for you?
47331Your own boat?
47331Your past life was not happy?
47331Yu''me coming on to Saint Margaret''s along with us, Mr. Gibbard?
47331_ Enter MICHAEL._ MICH. You''re ready to start, Uncle Ned?
47331_ Re- enter ANDREW._ MICH. What is this passage you''re in difficulty about?
47331do you see the new Audrie Lesden that is your daughter and your creature?
47331shall we get on with our work?
35485A criminal case?
35485A very early departure? 35485 Ah, do n''t you understand, Isabel,"he said,"that doubles our degradation?
35485Ah, then, you will marry me, dearest Isabel? 35485 And did she recognize you?"
35485And do you think my presence would enliven you?
35485And how do you like my young kinsman?
35485And how is your doom to be brought about, Roland?
35485And so you like the people at Camberwell?
35485And yet you love me?
35485Are you mad, Roland?
35485Be this Muster Gilbert''s the doctor''s?
35485Better than Byron''s?
35485Bread and marmalade and cold tea''s capital,he said;"you''ll try some, George, wo n''t you?
35485But am I to send your name, or not, Isabel?
35485But are you going that way?
35485But where are you going?
35485But why not, Izzie?
35485But why not, Jeff?
35485But why, in that case, should she meet the man secretly, at such an hour, while her husband is lying ill?
35485But you like writing?
35485But_ has_ she been seen to meet him?
35485Can you suggest one?
35485Dear Isabel, you will marry me, wo n''t you? 35485 Did I stare at her?"
35485Did I? 35485 Did n''t I?''
35485Did you ever look in a British atlas for Graybridge- on- the- Wayverne?
35485Did you really ask me to luncheon?
35485Do you ever think of your mother, Roland? 35485 Do you know Mordred?"
35485Do you know the value of such kindness as his? 35485 Do you think you shall be well enough to see him presently, poor lassie?"
35485Does it matter much who painted it, if it is only beautiful?
35485Does it wear well? 35485 For the penny public?
35485For whom else should it be? 35485 George,"said Isabel, gently, when she had seen all the rooms,"did you never think of re- furnishing the house?"
35485Had you any idea that Roland intended to leave his money in this manner?
35485Have you seen anything of your friends lately- that Graybridge surgeon and his wife, whom we met one day last summer at Mordred?
35485He is very ill-- your husband-- is ill?
35485I am unhappy because I have lost her,he thought;"but should I have been happy with her, if I had married her?
35485I dare say you are fond of pictures?
35485I dare say your friend and his wife were very happy?
35485I did not know until this morning that he was so very ill. Do you think he will die?
35485I say, Sophronia, were n''t you surprised to see Mr. Lansdell in the gallery?
35485I shall see you sometimes,she said, with timid hesitation,--"I shall see you sometimes, sha n''t I, when you come home from town?
35485I should like to sit up- stairs,he whispered, dropping a half- crown into her hand;"can you put me somewhere up- stairs?"
35485I suppose you often stroll as far as Thurston''s Crag?
35485I think we shall be able to show him a thing or two before he goes back to Midlandshire, eh, Samuel?
35485I think you know something of my friend Roland,Mr. Raymond repeated;"eh, my dear?"
35485I''ve told her how I love her; and-- and you like her, Jeff, do n''t you?
35485If this young man is so brilliant at one- and- twenty,people had said to one another,"what will he be by the time he is forty- five?"
35485Is he a nice fellow?
35485Is he very ill?
35485Is it funny?
35485Is n''t it a pity he do n''t marry his cousin, Lady Gwendoline, and settle down like his pa?
35485Is tea ready?
35485Is that the best teapot you''re a- having your teas out of? 35485 Is there any truth in it, Raymond?"
35485Is this acting, Mrs. Gilbert? 35485 Is what true, Roland?"
35485Is your father at home?
35485Isabel,he said at last,"have you ever thought what your life is to be, always, after this parting to- day?
35485It has been predicted to you?
35485It is not for yourself, then, that you want this money?
35485Izzie,cried George Gilbert suddenly,"what''s the matter?"
35485Melancholy- looking objects, are they not?
35485Miss Binks?
35485My darling,he said,"I am very punctual, am I not?
35485No,faltered the Doctor''s Wife,"it is not for my step- mother, but----""But it is for some member of your family?"
35485Of course I did n''t know then that I loved you, Isabel-- oh, may I call you Isabel? 35485 Of what faith?
35485Oh, do you think he will die?
35485Oh, tell me the truth,she whispered, imploringly;"do they think that he will die?"
35485Oh, the doctor? 35485 Oh, what, what can they think me?"
35485Oh, why do you let me read to you, if you do n''t care for the poetry?
35485Raymond, is this true?
35485Shall I send for him?
35485Shall I take them away?
35485Shall we go into the garden?
35485She was very fond of Mr. Gilbert, I suppose,--very much in love with him?
35485There is a strange man staying in Nessborough Hollow-- well; what then?
35485There''s a suicide, then, in your story?
35485They''re not so interesting as Sterne''s donkey, are they, Mrs. Gilbert? 35485 Too many?"
35485We''ll teach him a little life, eh, SAMUEL?
35485Well, young''un,the boy answered, disdainfully,"how do_ you_ find yourself?"
35485What am I to him?
35485What can I discover that I do not already know? 35485 What can possibly have induced him to invite those people to Mordred?
35485What can such a despicable wretch as I am ever be to him? 35485 What did Lansdell say?
35485What do I care about new carpets?
35485What do I think to who, Master Jarge?
35485What do you call a combination story?
35485What do you think of her, Jeff?
35485What is it, Izzie?
35485What is it?
35485What reports?
35485What should I wait for? 35485 What the deuce is the matter with you, Lansdell?"
35485What wo n''t do?
35485What''s it all about, Sigismund?
35485What''s the matter?
35485When are you going abroad again?
35485When was this?
35485Where?
35485Why not?
35485Why should I be so eager to see this man?
35485Why should it not be discussed?
35485Why should n''t I marry at once, Jeff?
35485Why, Izzie,he said,"what_ have_ you been doing with yourself?"
35485Will this parting be a new grief to her, a shadowy romantic sorrow, like her regret for drowned Shelley, or fever- stricken Byron? 35485 Will you come and gather some flowers, Izzie?"
35485Will you come and see my pictures at once? 35485 With whom?
35485Would I please to see any one?
35485Would you please to see any one, sir?
35485Yes; do you want him?
35485You are coming with us, I suppose, Roland?
35485You are going abroad, sir?
35485You are going?
35485You are not angry with me?
35485You have been very much shocked by your husband''s death?
35485You have come back with the intention of remaining, then, Roland?
35485You knew him-- you knew Mr. Roland Lansdell when he was a boy?
35485You mean that she does n''t love me?
35485You seem very much at home with her?
35485You were very fond of him, I suppose?
35485You''d like to walk, I suppose, George?
35485You''re going to marry her, Master Jarge?
35485You''ve been worried, papa?
35485Your daughter?
35485Your husband-- does he know about this person who asks for money from you?
35485''And you''ll swear to him, if necessary?''
35485''Do n''t they?''
35485''You need n''t have pounced upon me so precious sharp,''he said, rather sulkily;''I was n''t going to bolt with it, was I?''
35485''You think you could recognize this man with the black whiskers?''
35485Again, had she not known all along that Roland Lansdell would go away, and that all her bright dreams and fancies must go with him?
35485Ah, how should those common people understand, when even you do not, Roland?
35485Ah, if you knew how I have travelled night and day; if you knew how I have languished for this hour, and for the sight of----"For the sight of what?
35485Ah, is there any kind of death that can ever make me forget you?
35485Ah, what more likely, what more proper, if it came to that?
35485Am I to accept my dismissal, and bid you good afternoon, and put up patiently with having been made the veriest fool that ever crossed this bridge?"
35485Am I to find that it is only the old story after all-- falsehood, and trick, and delusion?
35485Am I to send the envelopes or not?"
35485An omen of what?
35485And Beatrice Portinari, and Viola, and Leila, and Gulnare, and Zelica, what of them?
35485And how much did she think of George Gilbert all this time?
35485And is it any wonder, therefore, if to this romantic girl the calamity that had so suddenly befallen her seemed like a dream?
35485And so you like all that dreamy, misty stuff?"
35485And then in the next moment he thought how, if that look in her pale face were real, and she was really striving to be good,--how then?
35485And then, again, why should she withdraw from the engagement?
35485And was not the name of the knight Roland--_his_ name?
35485And what do you think, Isabel?"
35485And yet-- and yet--"And yet what?
35485Are none of the wonderful things that happen to women ever to happen to you?
35485Are not reformed drunkards the dullest and most miserable of mankind?
35485Are you never to be Charlotte Corday, and die for your country?
35485Are you only an innocent child, after all, or the wiliest coquette that ever lived?
35485Be you she?"
35485Besides, was there not some glory, some delight, in trying to be good?
35485But did she forget Roland Lansdell all this time?
35485But do you think he could ever be happy with that woman?
35485But was her romantic attachment to Roland Lansdell laid down at the new altar she had found for herself?
35485But what good could come of such a meeting?
35485But why should I go abroad?"
35485But why should he have written to her?
35485But you call yourself Sigismund now?"
35485But you have come home for good now?
35485But you know something about my friend Roland, I think, do n''t you, Isabel?"
35485By the bye, how do you mean to finish the day, Raymond?"
35485Ca n''t you see the Vicar''s face, as he looks round at Burchell, and knows that his secret is discovered?
35485Came back?
35485Can you doubt the purity of my love-- the truth, the honesty of my intentions?
35485Can you doubt what would have happened had I come home a year earlier than it was my ill fortune to come?
35485Could he be dying?
35485Could it be true?
35485Could she do more for him than that?
35485Did he despise her very much?
35485Did her head still ache?
35485Did n''t I see it from the first?"
35485Did not D''Alembert retire from the world and all its troubles into the peaceful pleasures of geometry?
35485Did not Fagin think about the broken rail when he stood in the dock, and wonder who would mend it?
35485Did not Goethe seek relief from some great sorrow in the study of a new language?
35485Did not Napoleon snub Madame de Staël?
35485Did not Rousseau declare that the first man who enclosed a lot of ground and called it''mine''was the enemy of the human race?
35485Did she wish to be like these people?
35485Did such kindness ever bear any fruit but anguish and misery and mortification?
35485Did you ever hear of any good coming of it?
35485Did you observe her eyes?"
35485Do I ever say anything new, or think anything new, or do anything for which any human creature has cause to say, Thank you?
35485Do n''t you know the sort of thing?
35485Do not the actors live after the play is done, and the curtain has fallen?
35485Do you ever think of her as a living presence, conscious of your sorrows, compassionate of your sins?
35485Do you imagine that you could keep any secret from Graybridge?
35485Do you know that already that unhappy girl''s name is compromised?
35485Do you know that he is an infidel, and outrages his friends by opinions which he does not even care to conceal?
35485Do you know that his name has been involved with the names of married women before to- day?
35485Do you know what my cousin''s life has been?
35485Do you remember that day in the garden when you first saw her?
35485Do you remember the garden- scene in''Romeo and Juliet,''Izzie?
35485Do you think I was n''t fly, then?
35485Do you think I would n''t rather be the author of the''Vicar of Wakefield''than of''Colonel Montefiasco?''
35485Do you think Saturday will suit you and the Doctor, Mrs. Gilbert?
35485Do you think you can come?"
35485Does she make puddings, and sew on buttons, and fill up the holes in your stockings with wonderful trellis- work?
35485Does this kind of thing usually grow old, I wonder?"
35485During all those solemn watches did any bad thoughts enter her mind?
35485Gilbert?"
35485Gilbert?"
35485Gilbert?"
35485Gilbert?"
35485Gilbert?"
35485Give me the light, ca n''t you?"
35485Had he any right to come into that holy place?
35485Had he any right to come there and trouble this girl in the midst of her struggle to forget him?
35485Had he done anything wicked?
35485Had he fled his country, like Byron?
35485Had he not been thinking of her and of her pleasure at the very moment when she had upbraided him for his lack of interest in the Alien?
35485Had he not said something to that effect?
35485Had he not witnessed the martyrdom of Stephen, and had yet been unmoved?
35485Had her conduct been shameless and unwomanly, and would he remember her only to despise her?
35485Had not her life been altogether one long fever since Roland Lansdell''s advent in Midlandshire?
35485Had not her whole life been bounded by a magic circle, of which Roland Lansdell was the resplendent centre?
35485Had not the enclosure of the cheque in that cruel letter been almost an insult?
35485Had she not coolly and deliberately rejected his love-- his devotion, so earnestly and solemnly offered to her?
35485Had she not counted upon his departure?
35485Had she not gone there constantly, long ago, when Mr. Lansdell was lounging in Grecian Islands, and eating ices under, the colonnades of Venice?
35485Had she not heard him tell Mr. Raymond that he should spend the winter in Paris?
35485Had she not left him to his despair and desolation, with no better comfort than the stereotyped promise that she would"think of him?"
35485Had she not lived her life, and was she not entitled to be a heroine for ever and ever by reason of her love and despair?
35485Had she not seen the last of Mr. Sleaford in Nessborough Hollow, whence he was to depart for Wareham station at break of day?
35485Had she not worn it in one of their meetings at Thurston''s Crag?
35485Have I ever been happy in my life, or is there such a thing as happiness upon this unequally divided earth?
35485Have some bread and marmalade?"
35485Have you any consciousness of the mischief you''re doing?
35485Have you no feeling for that poor honest- hearted fellow who has judged you by his own simple standard, and has trusted you implicitly?
35485Have you no sense of truth or honour?
35485Have you noticed Isabel''s eyes?
35485He was in love, passionately, earnestly in love, with a foolish sentimental little woman, whose best charm was-- what?
35485He''s a good fellow-- a very noble- hearted, high- minded young fellow; but--"But what?
35485Her heart was perpetually beating out the four syllables of that simple sentence: Would he be there?
35485His wasted life; the good things he might have done upon this earth?
35485How can it matter what becomes of me, if you are happy?"
35485How could these people read her heart, or understand her love for Roland Lansdell?
35485How do you mean, Izzie?"
35485How should she ever see such places?
35485How was she to endure her existence?
35485How was she to endure it?
35485How would_ they_ spend the evening,--they who were not going to weep with Mr. Benjamin Webster, or Miss Sarah Woolgar?
35485I have heard----""What?
35485I mystify you, do n''t I, my darling, by all this rambling talk?
35485I think the salad- dressing and the champagne- nippers are the legitimate things to forget, are they not?
35485If Isabel Gilbert was the creature she was represented to be,--and he could not doubt his authority,--what could it matter to him how low she sank?
35485If a man ca n''t have a niche in the Walhalla, is n''t it something to have his name in big letters in the play- bills on the boulevard?
35485If he stooped from his high estate to smile upon her, was he not entitled to her deepest gratitude, her purest devotion?
35485Is it any one from-- from Lowlands?"
35485Is it inspiration or animal magnetism which gives this power to some special persons?
35485Is it slow to be dangling from a housetop with a frayed rope slipping through your hands and seventy feet of empty space below you?
35485Is it slow to go down into subterranean passages, with a dark lantern and half- a- dozen bloodhounds, in pursuit of a murderer?
35485Is it true?
35485Is it your step- mother?
35485Is n''t it better for a man to do his best in the style that is natural to him than to do badly in another man''s line of business?
35485Is there any woman in all the world capable of caring a little for such a worn- out wretch as I?"
35485Is there anything wrong?
35485Is this show of surprise and indignation a little comedy, which you play when you want to get rid of your lovers?
35485It makes one feel as if one could never go back to the world again, does n''t it?"
35485It said so plainly,"Do you think anything that can happen henceforward upon this earth could ever seem strange to me?"
35485It sounds like a flower, does n''t it?"
35485It sounds well; does n''t it?
35485It was an eternal parting: for had he not told her to go away from him-- to leave him for ever?
35485Joanna of Naples, is n''t it?
35485Lansdell?"
35485Lansdell?"
35485Might he not learn the depth of her love, the strength of her regret, by that one look of recognition?
35485Might not a walk across Mount Cenis cure him of his foolish love for Isabel Gilbert?
35485Never mind your flowers now, Roland; it''s a very charming bouquet, but you do n''t suppose Mrs. Gilbert is going to carry it about all day?
35485Of course I do n''t make Aureola,--I call my Jeannie''Aureola;''rather a fine name, is n''t it?
35485Oh, had he been fooled by his own vanity?
35485Oh, was there even the remotest chance that he would be there?
35485Oh, what was it, Isabel?
35485Oh, why, why did you come here?"
35485Or had the cruel arrow shot home already; was my destiny sealed even then?
35485Or was it a black cat, or a gentleman usher, or a skeleton; or all three?"
35485Or would he read and not care?
35485Poor little childish creature, who could wonder at her foolish sentimentality?
35485Shall I bring you Lamartine''s''Girondists''as well?
35485Shall I live to write gossiping old letters and collect china?
35485Shall we have to put back the clock for an hour, in order to foil the designs of your impalpable foe?
35485She forgot all about the interview at Graybridge; what_ could_ she remember in that room, except that_ he_ was ill?
35485She thought of him, and she thought what her life might have been-- if---- If what?
35485Should he go and stand by the gate, to make sure of seeing her as she came in?
35485That she-- that Isabel has been seen with some stranger?"
35485The blue- eyed heroes were out of fashion now, for was not_ he_ dark of aspect?
35485Then, after a little pause, she said, shyly:"Thurston''s Crag is a pretty place; shall we go there?"
35485There''s nothing so very queer about me, is there?
35485These books do n''t make you happy, do they, Izzie?"
35485They were Mr. Raymond''s nieces?
35485They were very difficult: how was she to render even such a simple sentence as"My own Clotilde?"
35485This is Thursday; shall we say Saturday for my picnic?
35485Was Dante degraded by his love for Beatrice?
35485Was Isabel alone, and going to walk back?
35485Was November the winter?
35485Was all this affectation, or was it only simple childish reality?
35485Was he not a hero, and would he not inevitably have courted that or any other peril?
35485Was he not there, talking to her and advising her?
35485Was it all settled, then, so suddenly-- with so little consideration?
35485Was it not a reopening of all the old wounds?
35485Was it not a reversal of the story of Diana and Endymion?
35485Was it not always so?
35485Was it not an act of pure philanthropy to clear some of the sentimental mistiness out of that pretty little head?
35485Was it not the condescension of a demigod, who smiles upon some earthly creature?
35485Was it one of the servants?
35485Was it only idle curiosity, as I believed, that took me there?
35485Was it only prettiness, or was it something more, even in spite of the brown dress?
35485Was it real, that exalted expression of the pale still face?
35485Was it so very strange, this sudden conversion?
35485Was it strange that, all at once, Isabel Gilbert should open her ears to the sublime story, which, in one shape or other, she had heard so often?
35485Was it strange, then, that Isabel Gilbert, so dangerously susceptible of every influence, should be touched and melted by Mr. Colborne''s eloquence?
35485Was it that he wished to occupy Mrs. Gilbert''s mind, and to force her to some slight exertion?
35485Was it the same grove?
35485Was it to be for ever and for ever like this?
35485Was it true-- could it be true-- that all this inexpressible happiness was to be his?
35485Was it wrong to think of him?
35485Was n''t it a pity that he was drowned?"
35485Was n''t she engaged to a Mr. Lansdell ever so long ago, and then to the Marquis of Heatherland?
35485Was not Lady Gwendoline the very incarnation of all her own foolish dreams of the beautiful?
35485Was not Mr. George Gilbert a rising man in Graybridge?
35485Was not all the world before him, and all creation designed for his pleasure?
35485Was not the first Mrs. Gilbert specially happy to have died young?
35485Was not_ he_ by her side, talking to her every now and then?
35485Was not_ he_ dead?
35485Was she anything to him, or was that musical lowering of his voice common to him when he spoke to women?
35485Was she at Graybridge still?
35485Was she in a consumption?
35485Was she leading the old quiet life, sitting in that shabby parlour, where he had sat by her side?
35485Was she not trying to be good now, and was not goodness incompatible with the perusal of Shelley''s poetry on a Sunday?
35485Was she not trying to be good; and did not all Mr. Colborne''s sermons inculcate self- sacrifice and compassion, tenderness and pity?
35485Was she pretty?
35485Was there anything upon earth denied him, except the ignis- fatuus light of this woman''s black eyes?
35485Was there not a minute description of Lord Thurston''s oak in the very first chapter?
35485Was there to be nothing in her life, then?
35485Was this feminine affectation, provincial Rosa- Matilda- ism?
35485Was this generous?
35485Was this meek young man the Byronic hero they had pictured?
35485Was this the author of"Colonel Montefiasco, or the Brand upon the Shoulder- blade?"
35485Was_ she_ amongst them?
35485Were his thoughts far away in some foreign city with dark- eyed Clotilde?
35485Were their lives so much the better because they scorned the gentle guidance of the apron- string?
35485Were there any of those Beings whose manners and customs her books described to her, but whose mortal semblances she had never seen?
35485Were there any princes in the world?
35485Were there not three volumes of courtship to be gone through first?
35485Were they very happy?
35485What a lovely morning, is it not?
35485What construction can I put upon her conduct of last night except one-- except one?
35485What could I not make of such a girl as that?
35485What could Isabel Gilbert do?
35485What could Mrs. Gilbert say, except that she would be delighted to go home with them?
35485What could any one do for such a husband as this?
35485What could be more intensely proper than this country walk with her mother''s late partial boarder?
35485What could she say to him?
35485What did Mr. Smith make of all his lofty privileges?
35485What did William Jeffson want more than this?
35485What did he know of her?
35485What did he mean by flying at me about Isabel, I wonder; and how does he come to know her?
35485What did he think of during those two long hours in which he sat in the churchyard waiting for the afternoon service?
35485What did he think of?
35485What did it matter to him what_ he_ was like?
35485What did it matter whether she was in love with Sir Reginald Glanville or Mr. Roland Lansdell?
35485What did it matter, then, if she was fluttered and dazed and intoxicated by his presence?
35485What did it matter?
35485What did it matter?
35485What did it signify if the solid earth became empyrean air under this foolish girl''s footsteps?
35485What did she see?
35485What do you mean?
35485What does her past life matter to us if her head''s well balanced?
35485What if it was to be so?
35485What is impossible in a universe where there are such stars?
35485What is the use of me, Gwendoline?
35485What is to become of me, Gwendoline?
35485What more than sweet smiles and gentle looks could the most exacting husband demand?
35485What motive had he in seeking out this stranger staying at a rustic public- house?
35485What odds will you give me against Mr. Tomlinson''s brown colt, Vinegar Cruet, for the Conventford steeple- chase?"
35485What purpose could she have in coming to that house, save one?
35485What relation should she meet alone, secretly, late at night, in such a place as Nessborough Hollow?
35485What right had he to interfere in a wicked woman''s low intrigue?
35485What romance had ever been written that was equal to this story; this perpetual fiction, with a real hero dominant in every chapter?
35485What should I want with so much money?"
35485What should he do with himself?
35485What should there be amiss with me, who never had a day''s illness in my life?
35485What was he thinking of?
35485What was her husband better than a tradesman, when there could be this question of accounts and payment between him and Roland Lansdell?
35485What was it to him that Isabel Sleaford was so near?
35485What was it to him that there was every prospect of a speedy dissolution, unless----?
35485What was medical science worth, if it was powerless to save this one sick man?
35485What was she but a frivolous, helpless creature, fluttering and trembling like a leaf when she essayed to do any little service for the invalid?
35485What was she doing?
35485What was she to him, that he should think of her, or be fluttered by the thought that she was within his reach?
35485What was she to him, that he should trouble himself about her, and bring universal scorn upon his name, perhaps, by some low tavern brawl?
35485What was the use of a ten- pound note spent upon splendour in Murlington, when the honeymoon was to close in degradation such as this?
35485What was there left in all the universe now that he was gone?
35485What would be the good of that?
35485What would be the use of such a change?
35485What''ll you take?"
35485What''s the consequence?
35485What''s the row?
35485What, in Heaven''s name, is Mr. Raymond''s motive for taking her up?
35485When did a matchmaker ever create anything but matrimonial confusion and misery?
35485When had they left his mind, except for that brief interval of passion during which his mind had been a chaos?
35485Whenever is he at home at this time of day?"
35485Where did that twopenny- halfpenny blown- glass sugar- basin come from?
35485Where''s the Britannia metal as I gave thirteen- and- six for seven year ago?
35485Where''s your husband?"
35485Who ate a plum- dumpling yesterday for dinner, and asked for more?
35485Who can calculate the arrangements of the Giaour or Sir Reginald Glanville?
35485Who ever heard of penny numbers being funny?
35485Who ever quotes any passage from the works of Guilbert de Pixà © rà © court, or remembers his name?
35485Who is this person who wants money of you?
35485Who shall tell the bitter sinful story of his grief and passion?
35485Who should come there that day except a stranger?
35485Who was that person?"
35485Who was the Alien?
35485Who would not wish to be great?
35485Who''s the honest- hearted fellow?
35485Why ca n''t people be reasonable, and take life wisely?
35485Why do n''t he come home?''"
35485Why had he ever invited her to Mordred?
35485Why had she come to him at such a time?
35485Why should I have everything in this world?
35485Why should I not have a career like other men, and try like them to be of some use to my species?
35485Why should I not love him; as we love the stars, that are so beautiful and so distant from us?
35485Why should I not worship him as Helena worshipped Bertram, as Viola loved Zanoni?
35485Why should he be ashamed, or humiliated, or degraded?
35485Why should he care?
35485Why should he lament the innocent idol of his dreams?
35485Why should he not enjoy this innocent pleasure of a rustic ramble with simple country- bred people and children?
35485Why should he not marry?
35485Why should not Lady Gwendoline avail herself of her special right?
35485Why should she not bestow this other half of her nature upon whom she chose?
35485Why should she not end her sorrows for ever in the glassy pool, so deep, so tranquil?
35485Why was it that his heart yearned for this woman''s presence?
35485Why, Izzie, what''s the matter?
35485Why, you''re not surprised, are you, Jeff?
35485Will Christie and Manson sell my pictures when I am dead?
35485Will any woman have pity upon me and marry me, and transform me into a family man, with a mania for short- horned cattle and subsoil- drainage?
35485Will she marry that good, sheepish country surgeon, who has fallen in love with her?
35485Will you give me a light for my cigar?"
35485Will you meet me here two days hence,--on Wednesday, at three o''clock?
35485Will you take what you want?"
35485Will you try and think of her as she really is, Gwendoline,--not as these Graybridge people see her,--and be kind to her when I am dead and gone?
35485Would Edith Dombey have been perpetually dropping things?
35485Would George give her a new silk dress?
35485Would Mr. Lansdell do anything of that kind?
35485Would he be there?
35485Would he ever come?
35485Would he go now?
35485Would he linger to meet her and speak to her?
35485Would he read a paragraph in the newspapers some morning at breakfast, and break a blood- vessel into his coffee- cup?
35485Would he remember the sunny afternoon, and the things he had said to her?
35485Would she be found floating on the stream, with weeds of water- lilies tangled in her long dark hair?
35485Would she look pretty when she was dead?
35485Would the master of Mordred Priory have been stricken with any sense of shame if he had met George Gilbert?
35485Would the sight of the wicked squire''s dark reproachful face undo all the work of these two months?
35485Would you have any objection to walk over yonder and see him, Isabel, or shall I call him here?"
35485Would_ he_ be sorry when he heard of her death?
35485You are going almost immediately?"
35485You can remember that?"
35485You have no other Christian name?"
35485You know Gwendoline?
35485You talked some time since of going away from Midlandshire-- from England; do you still think of doing so?"
35485You will try to be patient, wo n''t you, my dear?
35485You will, wo n''t you, Isabel?
35485You''ll come down to dinner, eh?"
35485You''ll go on and show Mrs. Gilbert the Murillo in the next room, Raymond?
35485You''ll use the old work- box, wo n''t you, Izzie?"
35485and was it likely that the family of his rival should have any indulgence for the shortcomings of his pale- faced wife?
35485and was it strange that she should go there now?
35485and what''s the nature of the business altogether?"
35485and who''s the foolish woman?
35485asked Mr. Lansdell, with a dash of fierceness in the sudden change of his tone;"why should I go?
35485could I swear I was not short- sighted?
35485cried Mr. Lansdell, with a strident laugh;"had we not better leave_ his_ name out of the question?
35485cried Roland, turning in his low easy- chair, and staring at the solemn face of his valet;"who should want to see me at such a time of night?
35485cried Roland,"can you misunderstand me so utterly?
35485did she ever think that she might be free to marry Roland Lansdell if the surgeon''s illness should terminate fatally?
35485did they know that she had a free admission to the upper boxes of the Adelphi, and envy her?
35485exclaimed Mrs. Gilbert;"oh, Lady Gwendoline, how can you say that_ he_ is vain?
35485have you any knowledge of the bottomless pit of sin, and misery, and shame, and horror that you are digging before that foolish woman''s feet?"
35485have you no feeling for him, Roland?"''
35485he mused,"will anybody ever fathom her fancies or understand her dreams?
35485if I should know him without his whiskers?
35485it is a foolish fever, is it not?
35485muttered Mr. Raymond;"was n''t there something to that effect in the''Alien?''
35485my dear Roland, have I not already told you that my authority is the common Graybridge gossip?"
35485not even the common instinct of a gentleman?
35485or buried a fellow- creature in a cave, like Mr. Aram?
35485sadly think, of thee-- When the shadows darken on the misty lea, Imogen, And the low light dies behind the sea?''
35485said Lady Gwendoline;"and what do you think of his wife, Roland?
35485she was an improper person, was n''t she?
35485that''s Mr. Gilbert, is it not?"
35485then they were his poor cousin Rosa Harlow''s children, of whom he had heard so much from that dear good Raymond?
35485was it a put- off, or what?"
35485was it real, or had she begun a new flirtation, a little platonic sentimentalism in favour of the popular preacher?
35485what am I good for?
35485what can they say of me?
35485what can they say?"
35485what good am I there more than I am here?"
35485what if she was to meet him now, and the story was appointed to begin to- day,--this very day,--and all her life henceforth was to be changed?
35485what is there for me to do there better than here?
35485when?
35485where?"
35485whether I could swear to the colour of his waistcoat?
35485whether I had been plucked at Oxford?
35485whether I should be able to recognize an acquaintance whom I had only seen once in twenty years?
35485whether I usually devoted my leisure time to travelling about with detective officers?
35485whether I was short- sighted?
35485whether any member of my family had ever been in a lunatic asylum?
35485who shall forbid me to grasp my treasure?"
35485why should we not plan a bright life of happiness and fidelity?
35485why was it?
35485why, what is there that is n''t possible if you go back to the time of the Plantagenets?
35485will she be sorry when she reads it?"
35485with whom?"
35485would I be kind enough to read a verse or so from a diamond edition of the works of Thomas Moore?
35485would he go away at once?
35485you and George are both looking as spooney as-- is it, eh?--yes, it is: is n''t it?
35485you will marry me, my own darling, my beautiful wife?"
7508Mr. Baillie, do you like brown eyes and cherry lips?
7508''"Who speaks ill of Serpolette?"''
7508''A real actor coming here to lodge?''
7508''Abuse you?
7508''All these years, am I forgotten?
7508''An apple?''
7508''An orange?''
7508''And all mixed up; how is that?
7508''And are you certain that a lady might have called about ten or half- past without your having seen her?''
7508''And did n''t ums know the sea was salt, and did ums think it very nasty, and not half as nice as a brandy- and- soda?''
7508''And did she care for you?''
7508''And do I get nothing for guessing right?''
7508''And do you think that you wo n''t get tired of me?
7508''And how did he manage to do that, marm?''
7508''And how did the fit come on?''
7508''And how did you think I looked?
7508''And how long have you been doing that?''
7508''And how will you save me from meeting him if he''s there before us?''
7508''And how''s the baby?''
7508''And is mother dead?''
7508''And is n''t she here?
7508''And meet all those girls?''
7508''And so you found your way, dear?''
7508''And what did you say to that?
7508''And what part does he play in_ Madame Angot_?''
7508''And what time is it now?''
7508''And what was Mr. Lennox like?''
7508''And what would your mistress do in the case of not being able to supply a lady with rooms?''
7508''And where''s the difference?''
7508''And who are the heroes that you''ve written about?''
7508''And who are your heroes, may I ask?''
7508''And who were you with?''
7508''And why not, pray?''
7508''And why not?
7508''And why should n''t she?
7508''And why-- why not?''
7508''And why?''
7508''And will that be nice?''
7508''And will you give me Mrs. Hurley''s address?''
7508''And will you take me with you?''
7508''And you will want a hood and cloak?
7508''And you, Annie?''
7508''And, Mr. Lennox, you will see that I''m not shoved into the back row by Miss Dacre, wo n''t you?''
7508''Are n''t you coming in?''
7508''Are n''t you happy with him?
7508''Are those men going to stop there all night?''
7508''Ask you what?''
7508''Bear what?''
7508''Besides, he said,''how can I put you into a leading business all at once?
7508''Brandy balls?''
7508''But I like walking fast,''she said;''perhaps I walk too fast for you?''
7508''But are n''t you going to act, Di--?
7508''But are n''t you going to act, sir?''
7508''But are you going?''
7508''But do you really love me?
7508''But do you think, doctor, it will be an expensive illness?
7508''But how could God forgive her her sins if she persevered in them?''
7508''But how did you get here?''
7508''But how do you think she''ll play the Countess?''
7508''But if he does n''t answer?''
7508''But if it is n''t a policeman, who would you like it to be, Lizzie?''
7508''But if you believe that we live hereafter, why should you deny pre- existence?''
7508''But is this paid for?''
7508''But law, mum, why are n''t you on the stage now?''
7508''But may I ask, ma''am, if you be Mrs. Lennox?
7508''But surely if they''re doing the same play you do n''t want to see it again?''
7508''But tell me, was n''t it you who sent me the verses?
7508''But the cigarettes,''she said,''used to relieve you; do you still smoke them?''
7508''But those two gentlemen-- the actors-- what will happen?
7508''But what are you so cross about?''
7508''But what can have brought him down?''
7508''But what did he say I must do to get well?''
7508''But what do you want me to do?''
7508''But what have you been doing?
7508''But when will you have your opera ready?''
7508''But where have you been?
7508''But where''s Bret?''
7508''But who will play Clairette?''
7508''But why have n''t you been to see me lately?
7508''But why in London?''
7508''But wo n''t you kiss me-- just a kiss, so that I may have something to think of?''
7508''But you''ll come and see me?
7508''But your side-- is it sore when you touch it?
7508''But, Dick, dear, why not at once?
7508''Ca n''t you guess?''
7508''Can he?
7508''Can we?
7508''Could you never love me again if I were very kind to you?''
7508''Could you tell me where Mr. Lennox would be likely to be found?''
7508''Dick, do you think you''ll always love me as you do now?''
7508''Did he really?''
7508''Did n''t Mr. Lennox tell you that you had to sing my song, the market- woman''s song, in the first act?''
7508''Did n''t he order anything else?''
7508''Did the doctor say so?''
7508''Did yer ever''ear of anyone spraining an ankle on purpose?''
7508''Did you ever see so many graves?''
7508''Did you say you would n''t marry her?''
7508''Did you see nobody else?''
7508''Do for me?''
7508''Do n''t you care to drink anything?
7508''Do n''t you remember, Dick was married with a scratched face?''
7508''Do n''t you see,''tis he who does the policeman?
7508''Do n''t you think we might open something?''
7508''Do they?''
7508''Do you belong to the company?''
7508''Do you ever find it necessary to take any stimulant?''
7508''Do you know that the fellow who owns that building has made a fortune?''
7508''Do you know the address?''
7508''Do you know who''s going to be at the wedding breakfast?
7508''Do you really think so?
7508''Do you think I can leave her?''
7508''Do you think that paper- cutter would do?''
7508''Do you think you could manage?''
7508''Do you think, Mr. Montgomery, that to take an encore for my song will interfere with the piece?''
7508''Drunk, Kate?
7508''Eat with you?
7508''Especially at night- time?''
7508''For hours, Ralph?''
7508''Go up to your room?''
7508''Hansom, or four- wheeler?''
7508''Hardly anything; and yet if I may venture a criticism-- would you mind passing your manuscript on to me for a moment?
7508''Has nothing happened?
7508''Has your heart from its allegiance Turned to greet a fairer face?
7508''Have you been to America?''
7508''Have you bought your present?''
7508''Have you got the eggs?''
7508''Have you heard that the chorus have clubbed together to buy Dick a chain?''
7508''Have you known Dick,''she asked suddenly,''a long time?''
7508''Have you seen mine?''
7508''Have you seen my wife?''
7508''He''s an invalid, is n''t he?''
7508''Hey, old pal, what is it?
7508''How am I to go?
7508''How are you, o- o- old man?
7508''How can he make such a beast of himself?''
7508''How can he take us to the play?
7508''How can you be so unkind, or is it that you''ve no thought for that poor sick child?''
7508''How could I fix a day?''
7508''How could she leave Dick and return to Hanley?
7508''How dare you accuse me of being drunk?
7508''How did you get out, dear?
7508''How did you like the piece, dear?''
7508''How do you do, old man?
7508''How do you like that?''
7508''How do you mean a disgrace?''
7508''How do you mean, dressing?''
7508''How do you mean?
7508''How does she manage the dressmaking?
7508''How much did you get?''
7508''How thirty- five?
7508''How very sharp you are, Mr. Mortimer,''answered Dolly in her pertest manner;''and what are you going to give?
7508''How will you manage that?''
7508''How''s that?
7508''How''s that?''
7508''I broke it?''
7508''I ca n''t think how you treat me as you do; what have I done to you to deserve it?
7508''I do n''t know and I do n''t care; what''s that to me?
7508''I do n''t know; do you think it dangerous?''
7508''I hope you did n''t wait supper for me?''
7508''I know what it means,''cried Lizzie;''you see that old chap on the right?
7508''I must be off now,''he said,''there''s no help for it; but you wo n''t disappoint me, will you?
7508''I shall be so glad if you will; but Market Street-- I think you said Market Street?
7508''I should like it so much; but what excuse can I give for being out till half- past ten at night?''
7508''I suppose he will come back for me,''Kate said;''or perhaps I''d better go on?
7508''I suppose you know London well?''
7508''I suspected Beaumont was not quite right, perhaps; but you do n''t mean to say there is n''t one?
7508''I think the idea very fine, but----''''But?''
7508''I wonder what it''s for,''said another;''it went all right, I thought-- didn''t you?
7508''If I did n''t love you, why should I ask you to go away with me?
7508''If you will permit me?''
7508''Indeed you do n''t, and what do you get for it?
7508''Is Mrs. Forest in?''
7508''Is Mrs. Lennox here?''
7508''Is Mrs. Lennox staying here?''
7508''Is it for a new- born infant?''
7508''Is it really?''
7508''Is it there that it pains you?''
7508''Is it?''
7508''Is mother in a great rage because I wo n''t let her in?''
7508''Is n''t it extraordinary that Bret can never be up to time?
7508''Is she suffering much?''
7508''Is that you, Kate?
7508''Is that you, dear?''
7508''Is the railway company going to stand us treat this journey?''
7508''Is there any lady missing?''
7508''Is this woman coming to meet him?''
7508''Is your appetite good?
7508''It is pretty, is n''t it?
7508''Late for what?''
7508''Led me into what?
7508''Long, long years I have been waiting, Bearing up against my pain; All my thoughts and vows have vanished, Will they ever come again?
7508''Look out for an engagement?''
7508''Lor, marm, why did yo''buy those things?''
7508''Love me?''
7508''Making a change?
7508''May I ask you, Montgomery, for a slice of bacon?
7508''Meanwhile,''Dick answered,''will you leave my room?''
7508''Might I ask,''she said,''if you''re one of the directors of the theatre?''
7508''My opera?''
7508''No, no; why should you love me?''
7508''Not a nice picture at all, and all mixed up?''
7508''Not bad,''said another;''I got one like it last year at Sheffield,''''But what shall I do with it?''
7508''Not stop here-- eh, eh?
7508''Now I wonder if your husband would consent to your going on the stage?''
7508''Now then, ladies, are you ready?''
7508''Now, who,''she asked,''can have been sending him these_ Classical Cartoons_, number four?''
7508''Oh yes, that''s where he''s gone to, is it?''
7508''Oh, Dick, dear, what shall we do if we find him waiting on the platform?
7508''Oh, Kate, what are you doing?''
7508''Oh, do you think so?
7508''Oh, is that you, Kate?''
7508''Oh, is that you, Mrs. Ede?
7508''Oh, now really, Kate,''he cried, shocked by the unfairness of the accusation,''how could I know that you were going to hit me there?''
7508''Oh, what is it?''
7508''Old people are very pious, generally, are n''t they?
7508''On what floor?''
7508''Putting aside the question of what you owe and what you do n''t owe, I''d like to ask you where you could find a nicer wife?
7508''Reasons I do n''t know of?
7508''Reduce expenses?
7508''Satisfied with you?''
7508''Scotch or Irish?''
7508''Shall I put that down in the bill, or will you give me the money now, ma''am?''
7508''Shall I write to him to- day, then, and say that we can let him have the rooms from next Monday?''
7508''Sleep with you?''
7508''So you think I ought to marry her?''
7508''So you''re going,''she said;''and when shall I see you again?''
7508''Sorry, Kate?
7508''Speak so?
7508''Supposing she said something like this, eh?
7508''Take the first turn to the right, and you''re in Church Street; but there may be bits of the delf in the wound?''
7508''The organ is there, and there''s no fluffing the notes; they come out clear, do n''t they?''
7508''Then I''m really downright mad?''
7508''Then shall I get you breakfast, sir?''
7508''Then what shall I do?''
7508''Then why derange these ladies and gentlemen by asking them to attend at this meeting?''
7508''Then you wo n''t let me?''
7508''Then you''ll come?''
7508''There''s Market Street; do n''t you remember, Dick, where you met me the day you took me to the potteries?''
7508''There,''she said,''have n''t I proof of your baseness?
7508''Think you ought to marry her?''
7508''This way, sir; what will you take, sir?
7508''To what?''
7508''Was Dick in love with Miss Leslie before he knew me?''
7508''Was it for such a success as this that he took me away from my home?
7508''Was she really spoons on the actor?''
7508''Was this life,''he asked himself,''or death?
7508''Was this life?''
7508''We can not talk here,''Dick said;''is n''t there a quiet street near by?''
7508''We shall be off in a minute, dear,''whispered Dick softly in her ear,''and then----''''Whose carriage are you going in, Dick?''
7508''Wear it first on one hand and then on the other, dear; that will puzzle him,''''But supposing he comes to meet me at the stage- door?''
7508''Well, Dick, what is it?''
7508''Well, do n''t you agree with me?''
7508''Well, have you brought the drink I sent you for?
7508''Well, my dear-- mad?
7508''Well, never mind,''said Kate;''did you ever see such beautiful clear water?
7508''Well, tell me the truth: do you think he can be constant to a woman?
7508''Well, was it all right?''
7508''Well, what did you say?''
7508''Well, what do you want me to do?''
7508''Well, what do you want me to do?''
7508''Well, what does it matter if I do?
7508''Well, what will that matter?
7508''Well, what''s the matter?
7508''Well, what?''
7508''Well, will you go?''
7508''Were you ever in love with anybody?''
7508''What are we to do?''
7508''What are you crying about?''
7508''What are you crying for?''
7508''What are you going to give, Annie?''
7508''What are you going to give?''
7508''What are you laughing at, Kate?''
7508''What are you thinking about?
7508''What are your words, dear?''
7508''What can he be saying?
7508''What did I say?
7508''What did he say, then?''
7508''What did you hit me like that for?''
7508''What did you intend giving for it?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you mean?''
7508''What do you think, dear?''
7508''What do you want?
7508''What does it matter what the time is?
7508''What does it matter?
7508''What does it matter?
7508''What does that matter?
7508''What does this mean?''
7508''What does this mean?''
7508''What happened when I got my decree of divorce?''
7508''What harm can they do me?''
7508''What has happened?''
7508''What have I done now?''
7508''What have you got for us?''
7508''What is it, Dick?
7508''What is it, dear?''
7508''What is it?''
7508''What is that?''
7508''What matter if she does?
7508''What matter?
7508''What reasons?''
7508''What shall I get, then?''
7508''What shall we do now?''
7508''What time?''
7508''What were you speaking about when it began?''
7508''What will the Lennoxes do?''
7508''What will the husband do?''
7508''What will work out all right?
7508''What will you have, dear?''
7508''What''s that?''
7508''What''s the cue?''
7508''What''s the matter, dear?''
7508''What''s the matter, my dear?
7508''What''s the matter, sir?
7508''What''s the use of grumbling?
7508''What, Hender your wife?''
7508''What, over those hills?
7508''What, you, Dick, in Manchester?
7508''What-- do you look so fri- frightened at?
7508''When you were a little girl you used to come here to play, I suppose?''
7508''Where are you going... shall you be coming back again?''
7508''Where are you living, dear?''
7508''Where had he gone?''
7508''Where on earth are you going at that rate?''
7508''Where were you last night?''
7508''Where''s Mr. Simpson''s lunch?''
7508''Where''s Mr. Simpson''s lunch?''
7508''Where''s he off to?''
7508''Where''s the stage entrance of the Opà © ra Comique?''
7508''Which, then, is the most important in your eyes-- Mr. Peppencott''s sermon or my breath?''
7508''Who attended the rehearsal to- day, then?''
7508''Who is she?''
7508''Who left this here?''
7508''Who would do the dressmaking for him?''
7508''Who would look after poor baby if I were taken away?''
7508''Who''s Mr. Simpson?
7508''Why a new work?''
7508''Why did n''t she ask me to come to her at five to- day?''
7508''Why did n''t she take a little more trouble with her make- up?''
7508''Why did n''t you come to the theatre?
7508''Why did you want her to stay?''
7508''Why do n''t you go away and leave me?
7508''Why do n''t you go yourself?''
7508''Why do you ask?''
7508''Why do you want to kiss me?
7508''Why should n''t I let my rooms to Mr. Lennox if I like?''
7508''Why should n''t there be two understudies?''
7508''Why should you do that, when she is in love with Bret?''
7508''Why,''she said,''do you think it''s the best thing that could happen to me?''
7508''Why?
7508''Will he never speak and let me go?''
7508''Will that be enough,''said Dick,''to place her in an asylum?''
7508''Will you require any dinner?''
7508''Will you?
7508''Wo n''t you come in?''
7508''Would n''t you really?''
7508''Yes, a romp; but what is a romp?''
7508''Yes, sir, certainly; but if I may make so bold, you''re looking very tired-- may I offer you a glass of beer?
7508''Yes, that''s easily arranged,''said Dick,''but what about the tour?
7508''You are n''t joking?''
7508''You do n''t mean to tell me that you turned her out?
7508''You have n''t heard Dolly''s story of the undergraduate?''
7508''You little silly, ca n''t you guess who they''re for?
7508''You mean, Kate, that you would play the mad woman?
7508''You promise?''
7508''You remember her, Leslie, do n''t you?
7508''You surely do n''t want to concert that, do you?''
7508''You were a friend of hers, then?''
7508''You were in bed, then?''
7508''You were n''t at the theatre last night?''
7508''You will excuse me, I hope, madam, addressing you, and if I do so it is because I am in an official capacity here, but may I offer you a parasol?''
7508''You will find these of the very best quality; will you feel the warmth of this, ma''am?''
7508''You wo n''t be angry if I tell you?''
7508''You wo n''t do that, will you, dear?
7508''You would strike me, would you?
7508''You''ll come a- nd and see me again to- to- morrow, wo n''t you?''
7508''You''ll have the same, Dolly?''
7508''You''ll take me out to tea, Dick?''
7508''You''re going out?
7508''Your husband is an actor, I believe?''
7508''Your wife?
7508A drunken chorus lady; trying to get her home?
7508A good makeup, is n''t it?
7508After a long silence Kate said:''I''ve been very ill, have n''t I?
7508After the usual salutations--''How do you do, old boy?
7508All he could say was,''Oh, my darling, I''m so sorry; you will forgive me, wo n''t you?''
7508And I suppose you walk up Piccadilly with him after the play?''
7508And Ralph?
7508And by whose order was a human creature tortured thus cruelly?''
7508And how have you been?''
7508And what can you do?
7508And will he take us to see the play?''
7508And will you come back and lodge here?''
7508And, remembering their little dispute, Kate said:''Well, dears, is it a robber or a sweetheart?''
7508Anyhow, it does n''t matter now, does it, doctor?
7508Are n''t you thirsty?''
7508Are n''t you well?
7508Are n''t you well?''
7508Are they going to go away?''
7508Are you all right?''
7508Are you coming my way?''
7508Are you game, Mortimer?
7508Are you going to buy the paper- cutter?''
7508As she entered the shop Mrs. Ede, who was in the front kitchen, cried,''Well, is that you, Kate?
7508As they walked home up the dark street when all was over, she laid her hand affectionately on his arm:''Tell me, Dick, are you satisfied with me?
7508At last he said:''But what did you mean just now when you said that it was more necessary than ever that you should go on the stage?''
7508At last he said:''But where have you been all the day?
7508At last he said:''I like these apartments very well; and you say that I can have breakfast here?''
7508At last he said:''Where are you going?''
7508At last she said:''Will you take me to church to- day?''
7508At last, as they stopped before the door of a small family hotel, he said:''It''s now something like four years since we parted, ai n''t it?''
7508Besides, had he not told her that he was going to be out all day?
7508Besides, what could he do?
7508Besides, what harm?
7508Brown?''
7508But I do n''t know how I can talk to you like this, for how can you respect me?
7508But by walking very slowly she contrived to reach the stage- door of the Opà © ra Comique, feeling very weak and ill.''Is Mr. Lennox in?''
7508But do tell me, Kate, what is the matter?
7508But do tell me, Mrs. Ede-- is he the one in the cocked hat?''
7508But do you love me?
7508But how do you get on with Miss Hender?''
7508But how long shall we have to wait?
7508But if she is a nun, why is n''t she in a habit?
7508But is this altogether sure?''
7508But tell me, is there anyone listening?''
7508But tell me, what were they doing downstairs?
7508But tell me-- you will, wo n''t you?
7508But the idea of God did not arrest his attention, and his thoughts fixing themselves on the child, he asked himself, what was this new life to him?
7508But the only answer they received was,''Now what does it matter who Mr. Simpson is?
7508But the question: what has become of Dick?
7508But this patchwork quilt is yours, I suppose?''
7508But what are we to do?
7508But what compartment shall we take?
7508But what could be said against him for requesting the removal of a drunken man?
7508But what matter the food?
7508But what shall she say after?''
7508But what''s the matter, Kate?
7508But which of the three illustrious composers, Hervà ©, Offenbach and Lecocq, should he choose to write the music?
7508But which way are you going?''
7508But wo n''t you kiss me before I go?''
7508But wo n''t you sing something, Mrs. Ede?
7508But would Dick produce a new piece?
7508But you''ll be able to manage the song, wo n''t you?
7508But, interrupting herself suddenly, she cried:''Dick, who has been scratching you?
7508By Witt or by MacColl, excellent writers both?
7508Ca n''t you see that I''m only very hot?''
7508Can I get you anything?''
7508Can you think of anything, dear?
7508Can you-- will you-- my own darling Dick, give me another trial?''
7508Chappel, will you be good enough to play the"Just put this in your pocket"chorus over again?''
7508Clarke, has my husband come in?''
7508Cold beef, chicken and ham, or a little soup?''
7508Could n''t you ask someone to go for you?''
7508Could they do nothing without him?
7508Could you fetch him?
7508Cox?''
7508Dick is very good to me; but if I tell you something you promise not to mention it?''
7508Dick, Dick, are you going to leave me?''
7508Did I speak crossly?
7508Did he count for nobody?
7508Did he intend to insult her-- was that it?
7508Did he only keep her to work for him?
7508Did he say that?''
7508Did n''t I, Miss Hender?''
7508Did n''t you see Bret passing?
7508Did she tell you of it?''
7508Did their thoughts never wander from their work?
7508Did they fancy that it was nothing to him if his wife and child were dead or alive?
7508Did they see you?''
7508Did this man never wish to go to bed?
7508Did you ever hear of such a thing?
7508Did you fix a day?''
7508Do n''t you know that?''
7508Do n''t you remember, Dick, the first night I played Florette in_ The Brigands_?
7508Do n''t you think so, sir?''
7508Do n''t you think so?''
7508Do n''t you think you''ll be able to hold out till then?''
7508Do n''t you wish he''d get ill again?
7508Do tell me the real truth; do you think I shall ever be able to sing?''
7508Do they abuse me very much?''
7508Do you approve of my manner of writing the hexameters?''
7508Do you deal with them?''
7508Do you happen to have any in the house?''
7508Do you love him so much?''
7508Do you see anything you like here?''
7508Do you see?''
7508Do you suppose I want to hear about that woman?''
7508Do you suppose it is to talk to you that I came here?
7508Do you take me for a fool?
7508Do you think you could manage with that?''
7508Do you think you would have liked me to have kissed you?''
7508Do you want another?
7508Does he get tired easily?
7508Does he like change?''
7508Does n''t he treat you well?''
7508Drawing the letter from her pocket, she said to the hall- keeper:''Will you kindly give Mr. Lennox this letter?
7508For you are my friend, are n''t you?''
7508For you know what a position I am in: if Dick were to desert me to- morrow what should I do?''
7508Had I better send her to the hospital?''
7508Had n''t we better put it off until morning?''
7508Had not the doctor told her she required a little stimulant?
7508Had she not earned it, and was he going to rob her of it?
7508Had the place taken fire?
7508Has anything fresh happened?
7508Has he arrived yet?''
7508Have n''t I told you twenty times that there''s nothing between me and Miss Vane?
7508Have things gone pretty well with you?''
7508Have you ever heard how he fancied the waiter was calling him in the morning when the policeman was hauling him off to the station?''
7508Have you ever heard the waltz?''
7508Have you got any cigarettes?''
7508Have you got the ether?''
7508Have you had any bad news?''
7508Have you seen the piece?
7508Have you welcomed in another Charms you missed in me, and grace?
7508Have you, Vincent?''
7508He asked if she suffered from a sense of uncomfortable tension, fullness, weight, especially after meals; if she felt any pain in her right shoulder?
7508He said:''You did n''t know Dick before he came to lodge in your house at Hanley, did you?''
7508How are we to live if you come between me and my business?''
7508How are we to reduce expenses except by cutting down the salaries?''
7508How are you to meet me at the station?''
7508How can you talk like that?
7508How can you think that I would have my husband ill so that I might go to the theatre with Mr. Lennox?
7508How can-- you-- talk to me like that?
7508How could he define what were and what were not proper conversations for the dressing- rooms?
7508How could she expect him to think of her when he was thinking of his breath?
7508How could this be?
7508How did all this come about?''
7508How did your face get torn like that-- who''s been scratching you?''
7508How do you think she''ll do in the part?''
7508How far are the nearest?''
7508How long would she remain on the doorstep?
7508How''s business?''
7508How''s that?
7508I beg of--''''Oh, you wo n''t, wo n''t you?
7508I believe you''re going to nurse Mrs. Lennox through this illness?''
7508I ca n''t put it plainer than that, can I?''
7508I dare say it''s very amusing; but if you''d try to combine business with pleasure--- Now, who did I put in section one?''
7508I do n''t know Mrs. Wood, but it''s very kind of Mrs. West to recommend us; and how has Hender been getting on with the skirt?''
7508I do n''t think you''d tell me a lie; it would be too cruel, would n''t it?
7508I helped you famously, did n''t I, Miss Hender?''
7508I hope my poem touched a chord in your heart?
7508I knew her when she was so high, and it was I who gave her her first part, was n''t it, Lucy?''
7508I must get well; but tell me, doctor, how long will that take?''
7508I suppose the two little girls are here?''
7508I think the ring a very nice one; let''s see how it looks on your hand,''''You do n''t mean that I''m to wear it?''
7508I told you so, did n''t I?''
7508I want you to tell me how the pain in your side is?''
7508I was only going to take a little milk, I suppose there''s no harm in that?''
7508I wrote for them,''she replied, hesitating;''but do n''t you think--?''
7508I''ll go with you now, Mrs. Rawson, and you''ll perhaps come to- morrow, Dick, to see her?''
7508I''ll take off these things and we''ll go for a walk through the town-- will that do?
7508I''m afraid you wo n''t be able to eat it?''
7508If I did n''t love you, could I kiss you as I do?''
7508If it were wrong do you think I''d bring you in here?
7508If she had n''t why did she think of Villiers Street?
7508If you wanted to desert me, why did you ever take me away from Hanley?
7508In the newspapers that quoted from the original document?
7508Is he here?''
7508Is it contagious?
7508Is it the ten shillings a week he pays for his room and the few pence you make out of his breakfast you''re hankering after?''
7508Is n''t Annie going to marry the man who''s lost his wig?''
7508Is n''t he going to act it himself?
7508Is n''t it odd?
7508Is n''t it so, Mrs. Ede?
7508Is n''t what I say true?
7508Is the--?''
7508Is there no one here to save me?''
7508It was n''t a nice part, was it?''
7508It was n''t an undergra--?''
7508It was on her tongue to ask him why he had chosen to play the policeman, but all that was over; why should she trouble him with questions?
7508It would be dreadful to act so soon after my poor baby''s death, would n''t it?''
7508It''s sad to lose her, is n''t it?
7508Kate was asking herself the same question-- what was to become of her?
7508Kate, dear, what is the matter?
7508Lennox?''
7508Let him take you away from me?
7508Let me finish it for you--''that outweighs all other qualities''But does it?
7508Let me go, will you?''
7508Let me see, whom could we get to play in it?''
7508Lodgers often make love to their landladies; what would she do if Mr. Lennox made love to her?
7508May I suggest an emendation that will render the recitation more easy and more effective?''
7508Montgomery, will you oblige me by playing over that sailor- chorus?''
7508Montgomery?''
7508Mr. Lennox said he''d meet us here, did n''t he?''
7508New member of the com- company, eh?''
7508Not that little thing with fair hair who sings in the chorus?''
7508Now then, girls, are you ready?''
7508Now, Miss Leslie, ca n''t you wait until this rehearsal is over?''
7508Of course, I ca n''t judge at present what your complexion is; but have you noticed any yellowness about the skin lately?''
7508Of what could she be thinking?
7508Oh, Dick, what shall I do?''
7508Oh, what will become of me?
7508On the first landing he stopped her, and laying his hand on her arm, said,''And would you really be very glad if I were to stay with you?''
7508Or in absence are you true?
7508Perhaps he''s the man in white who is being dragged away from his bride?
7508Poor man, why should n''t he have a few friends up in the evening?
7508Ralph did not answer, but after a long silence he said:''It''s a pity, ai n''t it, that we did n''t pull it off better together?''
7508Saturday?
7508Shall I do you a book entitled_ Lovers in Lent_, or_ A Lover''s Lent_?
7508Shall I get you a glass of water?''
7508She asked herself passionately if she was always going to remain a slave and a drudge?
7508She had been drunk, she knew that, but where was Dick?
7508She passed away from him and entered her husband''s room, and Ralph said:''Well, who was it?''
7508She said:''Do you think it''s anything very dangerous?
7508Should he, or should he not, knock at the door?
7508Simpson?
7508So many poor girls are in trouble; how many in the crowd passing before her door?
7508Stopping long here?''
7508Suddenly a voice cried in a high key:''Who do you take me for, Dick?
7508Supposing my husband was to come in now and find us here?''
7508The giant snoring, and her baby stirring in her cradle with the limelight upon her, or was she dreaming?
7508The servant brought up two glasses of grog, and when Kate had taken off her bonnet, she said:''Do you think I''m much altered?''
7508Then, what time is it?''
7508They would all be friends yet; that is to say, if Mrs. Ede would permit of it; and why should she stand between people and make enemies of them?
7508They would work for their child; a boy or girl, which?
7508This was difficult to do, but, after a slight hesitation, she said:''Then you really do believe that Miss Leslie and Mr. Bret are lovers?''
7508Tuck into this plate of chicken; will you have a bit of tongue with it?''
7508Was Dick going to desert her?
7508Was I very violent?
7508Was it Ralph coming down the staircase?
7508Was it a distant country?
7508Was it a scene of revelry?
7508Was it not he who drove her to it?
7508Was it not her own money?
7508Was it possible that he was culpable?
7508Was it possible, he asked himself, that she would never love him again?
7508Was n''t I in a fright?
7508Was n''t I your husband once?''
7508Was she never going to do anything else but work?
7508Was that the way he cut his legs?
7508Was there a chance of their doing a bit of business in the town?
7508We have some very nice ones at two pounds ten; but perhaps you would not like to give so much?''
7508We''re just like strangers, so many things have occurred; I''ve married since-- but perhaps you did n''t hear of it?''
7508Well, then, we ca n''t have anyone better-- and what shall we take out?''
7508Were it not for you, do you think I should be drinking?
7508Were there any ladies there?
7508Were there bills up in all the public- houses?
7508Were they likely to do good business?
7508Were they or were they not going to accept half salaries?
7508Were you down at the bank cashing a cheque?''
7508What are you doing in London?''
7508What broader road could a woman hope to walk in than the one that lay before her in all its clear and bland serenity?
7508What can I do for you, dear?''
7508What can he be arranging?''
7508What could he do?
7508What could it mean?
7508What did he think?
7508What did it matter to her?
7508What did it matter whether Dick saw it or not?
7508What did she care for these actresses?
7508What did they want with him?
7508What do they say about me?
7508What do you fancy there is between us that makes you say such a thing as that?''
7508What do you mean?
7508What do you mean?''
7508What do you say to that?''
7508What do you say to two- ten?''
7508What do you say to_ The Happy Pair_?''
7508What do you think, Leslie?''
7508What do you think, Montgomery?
7508What do you think?''
7508What does he know?
7508What does it matter to you if I excite myself or not?''
7508What explanation would be given to them?
7508What had he been doing all this while?
7508What had she said to him?
7508What has happened?''
7508What have I done to offend you?
7508What have you got to say, my hero, to me about my rendering of these lines?
7508What lunch?
7508What more could she desire?
7508What pleasure could it be to her to see her lover, looking hideous, drag a bride away from her intended?
7508What right have I?
7508What shall I do?
7508What shall I say to him?''
7508What shall it be?''
7508What such as I in glory Compared with such as thee?
7508What then?''
7508What time is it now?''
7508What was it to her what they said or what they thought of her?
7508What was to be done?
7508What was to be done?
7508What would n''t you give to be straying about in those fresh woods far away?''
7508What''s the matter, dear?''
7508What''s the name of the hotel you were speaking of, Williams?''
7508What''s the screw?''
7508When he had mastered the contents a good- natured smile illumined his chub- cheeked face, and he said:''Well, what do you want to say?
7508Where are you staying?''
7508Where could she get them?
7508Where had he been?
7508Where had he gone?
7508Where have you been hiding yourself?''
7508Where have you been?
7508Where is it?''
7508Where shall I get in?''
7508Where was he now, she''d like to know?
7508Where were they now?
7508Where''s Montgomery?
7508Where''s that damned property- master?''
7508Where, then?
7508Which is the way?''
7508Which was she to believe?
7508White,''she said,''might I ask you to get me a jug of hot water?''
7508Who can say he has not lived before, and is it not as important to believe we lived herebefore as it is to believe we are going to live hereafter?
7508Who did you marry?''
7508Who has any liquor?
7508Who''s in love with the Countess?''
7508Why after all should n''t she marry Dick?
7508Why did he want to be always running after a lot of other women?
7508Why did n''t she take the rooms?''
7508Why did n''t she tell me that before?
7508Why did n''t you come down to the theatre?''
7508Why did you ever have anything to do with me?
7508Why do n''t you bring home the printed score?''
7508Why do you hesitate?''
7508Why had he done this thing?
7508Why had n''t she asked for this reparation before?
7508Why not go for a walk with Montgomery?''
7508Why should Dick desert you?
7508Why should I be angry?''
7508Why should I?
7508Why should n''t I spend the Sunday in Leamington and go to church?
7508Why should n''t I?
7508Why should n''t you stay if it pleases you, dear?
7508Why should she not go and fetch it, and insult him with the confession of her sin?
7508Why was n''t he faithful to her who had given up everything for him?
7508Why was she not rehearsing there with them?
7508Will you come near the fire?''
7508Will you do this thing for me?''
7508Will you let me feel your pulse?''
7508Will you let me feel?''
7508Will you let me have your room?''
7508Will you let me see them?''
7508Will you never care again for any of these fine ladies?''
7508Will you promise to come?''
7508Will you take my card?''
7508Wo n''t you come with me?''
7508Wood?''
7508Would he appear as a king, a monk, a shepherd, or would he wear a cocked hat?
7508Would her cold get worse or better?
7508Would it be possible for her to find work to do that would keep her mind away from the drink?
7508Would it not give them courage to work?
7508Would it not give them strength to live?
7508Would she never find happiness, then, in this world?
7508Would she never grow tired and sit down?
7508Would they learn to hate her?
7508Would you like an omelette?''
7508Would you like to be in my arms?''
7508Would you like to come to- night?''
7508Would you like to go in front?''
7508Written out by whom?
7508X''Is this the stage entrance?''
7508XIX''Well, what are you going to give her?
7508XXVII''Oh, Dick, dear, what did I do yesterday?
7508Yes, yes-- do you hear me?''
7508You did- didn''t expect to see me, did you?''
7508You do n''t want me to catch my death at the front door?''
7508You heard about the breaking up of Morton and Cox''s company?
7508You wo n''t tell him, will you, doctor?''
7508You would n''t put me in a madhouse, Dick?''
7508You''ll give"May the stars"first to the sopranos, and then repeat with the tenors and basses?''
7508You''ll protect me, wo n''t you?
7508You''re my friend as much as he, are n''t you?''
7508You''re not on bad terms with Dick, are you?
7508You''ve not finished with that yet?
7508Your husband deserted you; are n''t you free to live with whom you please?''
7508cried Montgomery, twisting his legs over the arm of the chair,''how is it I never heard of this before?
7508do n''t you, indeed?''
7508have n''t you told him yet?''
7508he said, drawing her aside;''shall I go and make my change now?
7508how can you speak so?''
7508how can you?''
7508how dare you talk to me like that?
7508is it you?''
7508said Dick,''do n''t you like being alone with me?''
7508said Ralph,''so he married you, did he?
7508what shall we do?
7508who is--?
7508you a father, Dick?''
7508you on the stage, Kate?''
4360A constitutional inheritance?
4360A doctor has been sent for, of course?
4360A good shot?
4360A sudden shock?
4360All?
4360Always?
4360An odd reason, surely, for resigning her, was it not?
4360And I am the first man whom you have really cared for?
4360And Neri''s sentence?
4360And are you going to fulfill the prophecy of your friends, Andrea?
4360And are you not sure?
4360And do you think, amico, I will suffer you to go unrewarded?
4360And its contents?
4360And may one ask what this prophecy is?
4360And now tell me, my dear conte, what bacchanalians are coming to- night? 4360 And now, had you not better be packing your portmanteau?
4360And pray who was he that he should not deserve to die as well as other people?
4360And so your name is Stella? 4360 And supposing he were to do so, would you care for him, Nina?"
4360And that is all, Vincenzo?
4360And that is why you have never tried it?
4360And that one thing is?
4360And the nuns?
4360And were you happy there?
4360And what became of the girl?
4360And why not?
4360And why?
4360And will you also join in the service of perpetual adoration?
4360And you-- you were a most loyal and faithful friend to him, in spite of the tempting bright eyes of his lady?
4360And you?
4360Anything financial? 4360 Are there any better kings than honest men?
4360Are we ready, gentlemen?
4360Are you a miser, Cesare?--and have you some secret hiding- place full of treasure like Aladdin?
4360Are you about to marry?
4360Are you afraid of this noble animal, madame?
4360Are you drunk or mad, Ferrari?
4360Are you ever naughty? 4360 Are you going far?"
4360Are you going now?
4360Are you in pain, my dear?
4360Are you not glad to see papa?
4360Are you talking of some saint?
4360Are you the owner of this place?
4360As SHE has? 4360 Ay, Guido,"I muttered, half aloud--"dost see the work?
4360Ay, truly? 4360 Beauty?
4360Because it is dark? 4360 But HOW do you love me-- for myself or for my wealth?"
4360But now that you see I am not unhappy, you will be cheerful again? 4360 But what if it be?
4360But what will you? 4360 But where were his comrades?
4360But,he said, with a naive mingling of curiosity and timidity,"how can I do that if the signor does not tell me his name?"
4360By the way, I suppose you know Naples well?
4360By the way, he tells me he has had letters from you?
4360CAN you be spoiled?
4360Can I offer you one of my cigars? 4360 Can nothing be done?"
4360Can you not make it better?
4360Come now, do I look a likely man to attract the attention of an adored and capricious beauty? 4360 Could he not have waited to take us back?"
4360DO they always manage without love or romance?
4360De Hamal is a pupil of yours, marquis, is he not?
4360Did I keep you waiting, caro mio?
4360Did I not say so?
4360Did he ever kiss you as I have done?
4360Did he mention my name?
4360Did the former wearer kill HIS wife?
4360Did you ever see my late husband?
4360Do I use bad similes? 4360 Do you fear the plague?"
4360Do you hear the nightingales?
4360Do you make my coffee, little one?
4360Do you not see, conte?
4360Do you really mean,he said, with a tinge of hauteur in his accents,"that you will not visit her-- that you refuse her request?"
4360Does it? 4360 Does-- SHE-- know you?"
4360E tu, Guido mio? 4360 Ebbene, can you tell me the way to the house of one Count Fabio Romani, a wealthy nobleman of this city?"
4360Eccellenza?
4360Exposure to intense heat?
4360Fabio? 4360 Good weapons?"
4360Happy? 4360 Has she done you any harm?"
4360Has she not seen her child?
4360Have you any message for one Andrea Luziani? 4360 Have you ever thought that she may marry?"
4360Have you never heard the pretty legend that attaches to such an occurrence as a sudden silence in the midst of high festivity? 4360 Have you seen my papa?"
4360He can be trusted, I suppose?
4360He made you his apology?
4360He was mad, I suppose?
4360Hebe as she waited on the gods, or Venus as she rose in bare beauty from the waves? 4360 How about the pistols, Vincenzo?"
4360How canst thou tell? 4360 How did it happen?"
4360How do I know?
4360How do they manage without love or romance?
4360How goes the cholera?
4360How is that?
4360How is the child?
4360How long do you propose remaining here in retreat?
4360How many more trifles can you think of, my friend, in opposition to my wishes? 4360 How much to pay?"
4360How was that? 4360 How, madam?
4360I address the Count Oliva?
4360I am going to marry one-- that is almost the same thing, is it not?
4360I gave him this as a remembrance of his friend, my husband, why does he return it?
4360I hope,and here I put on an expression of the deepest anxiety,"I hope the pretty contessa has not played you false?
4360I should indeed,he answered;"they are unique specimens, I think?"
4360I thought we were not going far?
4360I thought you liked the nuns?
4360In God''s name,he whispered, thickly,"WHO ARE YOU?"
4360In love, amico, art thou? 4360 In what way did he insult you?"
4360Indeed,she exclaimed, settling herself on a low ottoman and fixing her eyes upon me;"what was she like?"
4360Indeed?
4360Is he dead?
4360Is his wife so very lovely then?
4360Is it already so late?
4360Is not this delightful? 4360 Is that a good likeness?"
4360Is the Countess Romani young?
4360Is the child a boy or a girl?
4360Is there any hope?
4360Is there anything so surprising in that? 4360 It is good, is it not?"
4360It wants a quarter to five,replied Vincenzo-- then looking at me in some surprise, he added,"Will not the eccellenza change his evening- dress?"
4360Know him? 4360 Loved him?
4360Mad? 4360 Marguerite and the jewel song in''Faust,''I suppose, with new scenery and effects?"
4360May one speak?
4360Must they?
4360Not even Guido Ferrari?
4360Not one kiss before you go?
4360Not really inconsolable?
4360Not to leave ME? 4360 Of what matter after all whether hairs are black or white?
4360Of what use to keep him?
4360Of what? 4360 Of what?"
4360Oh, yes; is it not sad? 4360 Perhaps you doubt my story?"
4360Perhaps you were not here when I visited the elder Count Romani?
4360Possibly we are not acquainted with her?
4360Really subdued and influenced? 4360 Really?"
4360Reluctant? 4360 Shall I drive up to the house?"
4360Shall I not see you again till we meet in the church?
4360She did that rather than become the property of another man?
4360She had no time to tire of her husband, else-- who knows?
4360She was a favorite pupil of yours, I believe?
4360She? 4360 Should I not insist upon an apology?"
4360Silenced? 4360 Since the illness?
4360So Wyvis has been shot?
4360So young? 4360 Sorry?
4360Still, suppose your daughter wedded a man who would be to you as a son, and who would not part her from you?--for instance, let us say Vincenzo?
4360Surely you are not offended?
4360Tell me how-- and-- where?
4360Tell me, how did you manage to leave the ball- room?
4360That is to go to Avellino, eccellenza?
4360That is your creed?
4360That is your idea, is it? 4360 The coffee does not please you?"
4360The contessa?
4360The eccellenza has not yet seen Lilla Monti?
4360The little place where you have hidden your jewels, you droll Cesare, is quite near then?
4360The play pleases you?
4360The signor will smoke?
4360Three minutes, walk will bring us to our destination,I replied, briefly, adding in a softer tone,"Are you cold?"
4360To Avellino?
4360To the Countess Romani?
4360True to him? 4360 Twenty paces, I think?"
4360Was I?
4360Was he caught easily, or did he show fight?
4360Was she much grieved?
4360Was your lady hurt?
4360We are not going far?
4360We shall return in time for supper, of course?
4360Well, do you know me at last?
4360Well,I said,"what happened next?"
4360What ails you?
4360What are you dreaming of?
4360What dance is it?
4360What do you mean, amico? 4360 What do you mean, conte?"
4360What do you mean?
4360What do you mean?
4360What do you mean?
4360What has become of the old man who used to live here?
4360What inequality?
4360What is it?
4360What is that?
4360What is the matter with you?
4360What is the matter?
4360What is the matter?
4360What is wrong here, my friends?
4360What likeness?
4360What men are they?
4360What odd fancy possesses you now, little one?
4360What of Abelard and Heloise, or Fra Lippi?
4360What place is this? 4360 What place is this?"
4360What think you, then?
4360What-- what do you mean?
4360Where are you going?
4360Where is he?
4360Where is that?
4360Where is the contessa?
4360Who are you?
4360Who brought this?
4360Who has done this?
4360Who sent this?
4360Who talks of murder NOW?
4360Who was he? 4360 Why are you crying?"
4360Why are you so cold and strange, Cesare?
4360Why are you so fond of talking about my late husband, Cesare?
4360Why did you marry him?
4360Why do you call me signor?
4360Why do you hate the Countess Romani so much?
4360Why do you have those ugly black things on?
4360Why do you laugh like that?
4360Why have I taken such a fancy to you?
4360Why not do it?
4360Why not?
4360Why should I?
4360Why should she be?
4360Why, what happened yesterday?
4360Why, why?
4360Why-- you would not have her false?
4360Why? 4360 Why?"
4360Will he come back soon?
4360Will the eccellenza visit the Punto d''Angelo?
4360Will you do me one favor?
4360Will you kindly telegraph my DREADFUL loss to Signor Ferrari? 4360 Will you let me keep it?"
4360Will you remain here or will you absent yourself for a few days?
4360Wilt thou not relent before such a remembrance?
4360Wit, they say, should be sharpened by the glance of a bright eye; how comes it that the edge of your converse seems blunted? 4360 You are better, I trust?"
4360You are my papa, are you not?
4360You are not residing in Naples?
4360You are not sorry?
4360You are not very pleased, I think, at the prospect of my happiness?
4360You are really a great sufferer then?
4360You escaped from this vault?
4360You expect other visitors?
4360You followed?
4360You have a daughter, then?
4360You have no appetite?
4360You have your brig the''Laura''still?
4360You hear? 4360 You knew the last count from childhood, then?"
4360You know the avenue,I said,"the dear old avenue, where the nightingales sing?
4360You know the man, then?
4360You left him there?
4360You like this sort of work, amico?
4360You loved him well then in spite of his foolishness?
4360You loved him well?
4360You mean all except the married ones?
4360You mean,she said, with a tender pathos in her voice--"that you are willing to marry me, but that you do not really LOVE me?"
4360You never heard of the rich Count Romani?
4360You never liked Ferrari?
4360You really DO?
4360You really love me?
4360You remember Carmelo Neri?
4360You seek aid, my son?
4360You think I have aged somewhat since you saw me?
4360You think I have changed in appearance, my friend?
4360You think it was all affection for you, no doubt, signor? 4360 You think she will make a scene?"
4360You think-- you imagine that-- that-- I--"That you are in love with her?
4360You will pardon me, eccellenza, for my freedom of speech? 4360 You will permit me to mention your name to the Countess Romani, I hope?"
4360You would help him to escape again if you could, no doubt?
4360You would see the Countess Romani, who is in retreat here?
4360You-- WILL visit her-- she may rely on your coming for a certainty, I hope?
4360_ I_ killed him? 4360 ''WHERE? 4360 A firm, wise, ruling master- hand may perhaps-- who knows?
4360A ghost or a brigand?
4360A gift or an heirloom?"
4360A man happy in home affections, without a cloud on the sky of his confidence?"
4360A pity, was it not, that the quarrel occurred between you?"
4360After a moment or two of silence he turned to me with a forced smile--"And so you really entertain no admiration for the contessa?"
4360After a pause, during which her cheeks had lost their delicate bloom, she said, forcing a smile as she spoke--"Bad news?
4360Afterward, will you join me in the veranda?
4360Ah, truly?
4360All that loveliness had decayed into-- what?
4360All this I thought as I watched him standing bareheaded in the moonlight, on his way to-- whom?
4360And are they all for me?"
4360And as for beauty-- are you more beautiful than SHE?"
4360And did you, amico, actually organize this banquet, merely to welcome back so unworthy a person as myself?"
4360And did you, conte, think for a moment that such an arrangement would meet with my approval?"
4360And do not Englishmen tire?
4360And he is too noble to say what is not true, so I MUST be''la piu bella donzella,''as he said, must I not?"
4360And how about D''Avencourt''s friendly advice concerning the matrimonial knot?
4360And how are you?
4360And my dog, the noble black Scotch colly, what had become of him, I wondered?
4360And no doubt you would be glad to return to the life of your boyhood?"
4360And now I was shut in the same vault-- a prisoner-- with what hope of escape?
4360And now, Cesare, when do you wish me to go to the convent?"
4360And so you will pray for me?"
4360And so-- she did not care for him, you say?"
4360And successful fishing?"
4360And the rest of your company?"
4360And what more fascinating than a harem?
4360And what then, my friend?"
4360And why not?
4360And why not?
4360And you actually entertained no alarm for yourself?"
4360And you are happy?"
4360Answer me, ye long suffering spouses of"society women"how much would you give to win back your freedom and self- respect?
4360Are there any relations of his living-- was he married?"
4360Are you coming in, Guido?"
4360Are you coming into a fortune?"
4360Are you going to a woman?"
4360Are you ill?"
4360Are you not a universal favorite?
4360Are you not glad?"
4360Are you sure your decision is a wise one?"
4360Are you sure?
4360As he dusted and rubbed up a cup and saucer for my use, he said, briskly,"You have had a long voyage, amico?
4360As he prepared my breakfast I asked him:"By the way, when does the carnival begin?"
4360As we all left the theater one of the ladies who had accompanied Nina said lightly:"You seem dull and out of spirits, conte?"
4360As we left the room I asked:"Is the countess well?"
4360At a sign from the doctor I followed him out of the room-- on the stairs he turned round abruptly, and asked:"Will YOU tell the countess?"
4360At last Captain Freccia said, softly in half- inquiring accents:"He is gone, I suppose?"
4360Be satisfied with me as I am for the present, though I promise you your wish shall be gratified--""When?"
4360Beautiful women love jewels, and who shall blame them?
4360Besides, did Christ himself forgive Judas?
4360Besides-- have I said I will marry you?
4360Besides-- remember the carnival-- I told you you were free to indulge in its merriment, and shall I not deprive you of your pleasure?
4360But I made no remark-- I sipped my cognac with an abstracted air for a few seconds-- then I asked:"How was the count buried?
4360But I made no reply to his remark-- I said,"Regarding the matter of the jewels for the Countess Romani-- would you care to see them?"
4360But I restrained my fury; I steadied my voice and said calmly:"Then I was mistaken?
4360But it seems I have done well?"
4360But my thoughts were too active for appetite-- I counted on my fingers the days-- there were four, only four, between me and-- what?
4360But no doubt you will see her for yourself-- as a friend of her late husband''s father, you will call upon her, will you not?"
4360But perhaps the eccellenza will prefer Vincenzo?"
4360But we have been sitting a long time here-- shall we walk?"
4360But what do the sheep and geese that are whipped abroad in herds by the drovers Cook and Gaze know of Monte Virgine or Cybele?
4360But what of that?
4360But what of that?
4360But what sort of vengeance?
4360But what was this that hindered my breathing?
4360But what would you, amico?
4360But where are these treasures?
4360But where could I make the purchase, and how?
4360But where does your friend desire to go?"
4360But where was MY authority?
4360But why will you not get them yourself, Cesare, and bring them here to me?"
4360But why, in the name of the saints or the devil, have you taken such a fancy to me?"
4360But why?
4360But, if not love or money, what is it that troubles you?
4360But,"and I touched her delicate dress,"you will wear something warmer than this?"
4360But--""But WHAT?"
4360By accident or design?"
4360By degrees, I realized that I was lying straight down upon my back-- the couch was surely very hard?
4360By the way, do you remember our talking of Cain and Abel that night?"
4360Can I send you some wine?"
4360Can he leave her to her own devices with safety?
4360Can he unbend so far as to partake of food in public?
4360Can you come with me for a few moments?
4360Can you forgive me?"
4360Can you sell me a suit?
4360Come-- this avenue is damp and chilly for you-- shall we go in?"
4360Could I be seen in the public roads in such a plight?
4360Could I not help him to his happiness, I wondered?
4360Could I speak of that unstained sacred life of wifehood and motherhood to this polluted though lovely creature?
4360Could anything be better?
4360DO you or do you NOT believe that I am indeed your husband-- your living husband, Fabio Romani?"
4360Dare I humor her in her fancy?
4360Dead?
4360Did you know him, signor?"
4360Did you see your maid?
4360Do I address the noble Conte Cesare Oliva?"
4360Do men ever truly forgive the women who ruin their lives?
4360Do you doubt it?"
4360Do you feel inclined to see him?
4360Do you know I have thought of him very much lately?"
4360Do you know how rare a thing innocence is-- in a woman?
4360Do you know this is my first ball?"
4360Do you not agree with me, madame?"
4360Do you not tell me that your late friend the Count Romani held you as the dearest to him in the world after his wife?
4360Do you think mere wealth could ever win MY affection?
4360Do you understand?"
4360Does not every one like you?
4360Either, neither, or both?
4360English make?
4360Fabio?"
4360Feeling forced to say something, I asked:"Have you many boarders at this holiday season?"
4360Ferrari glared about him for a moment and then said,"Freccia, you will second me?"
4360Finally he said:"Do I also travel with the eccellenza?"
4360Following out this thought, I said aloud:"What sort of looking man was this Count Romani?
4360For a moment, perhaps, thy love may grow pale at sight of thee; but when she knows of thy sufferings, wilt thou not be dearer to her than ever?
4360From whence had come this daring scheme?
4360From your remarks I judge that you have no sympathy with marital wrongs?"
4360Fy on thee, Luziano!--why think of Ferrari?
4360God?
4360Gui--, I mean Signor Ferrari, you will accompany the conte and show him the way to the villa?"
4360Guido had just left her then?
4360Guido, will you go and unfasten him?"
4360Had I not a veritable angel for my companion at that moment?
4360Had I not calculated it all?
4360Had her lover''s ghost indeed appeared before the eyes of her guilty conscience?
4360Had it not been realized?
4360Had not Ferrari himself seen me BURIED?
4360Had not Guido stabbed me thrice?--in his theft of my wife''s affections-- in his contempt for my little dead child-- in his slanders on my name?
4360Had not the cruel mockery of it nearly driven me mad?
4360Had she entertained any such feelings I might have withdrawn my proposals-- but as matters stand, what harm have I done you?"
4360Had she ever trapped a man''s soul and strangled it with lies?
4360Had she forgotten what a slave I was to her?
4360Had she gone mad?
4360Had she no conscience?
4360Had the shock and grief of my so unexpected death turned her delicate brain?
4360Had they any suspicion?
4360Had they made away with him?
4360Had they put my name on the coffin- lid?
4360Had they shown one redeeming point in their characters?
4360Half stupefied at her manner, I asked:"Then you will be my wife?"
4360Hast thou no forgiveness?"
4360Have I reason to suspect any one?"
4360Have I your permission?"
4360Have they no secret ennui at times when sitting in the chimney nook of"home, sweet home,"with their fat wives and ever- spreading families?
4360Have you just come back from Rome?
4360Have you no greeting for me?"
4360Have you seen him?"
4360He betrayed himself at last by asking me demurely whether I purposed taking any part in the carnival?
4360He displayed no badge of mourning?
4360He eyed it musingly and inquiringly; then he asked:"Your excellency desires to purchase something?"
4360He gave large sums away in charity, did he not?
4360He has HIS amours, of course-- why should she not have hers also?
4360He has no doubt exaggerated the number of times I have written to him?
4360He is young, undeniably handsome, and on his uncle''s death will be fairly wealthy-- what more could you desire?
4360He looked gratefully at me"Really?
4360He says he will never make love to a woman unless she first makes love to him; what do you think of that?"
4360Here is its emblem"--and I held up the stone of the peach I had just eaten--"the fruit is devoured-- what remains?
4360His fate, in her hands, was evidently to be the same as mine had been; yet after all, why should I be surprised?
4360His landlord sold me his clothes for three francs-- one, two, three-- but you must give me six; that is fair profit, is it not?
4360How can he remedy the matter?
4360How can you think of such a thing?"
4360How does the English laureate put it in his idyl on the subject?
4360How is this managed?
4360How long, I gravely mused, how long before death could come to do us this great service?
4360How many times have you asked me that absurd question?
4360How often must I repeat to you that I am a man absolutely indifferent to the tender passion?
4360How so?"
4360How was it then that he did not recognize me now?
4360How?
4360Hush!--was that a faint moan?
4360I am unjust, say you?
4360I asked, in a half- incredulous tone;"you are quite sure?"
4360I asked,"and does not Vincenzo help you?"
4360I began to consider-- how could it have been placed there without my knowledge?
4360I believed him-- for what could this lovely, youthful, low- voiced maiden know of even the shadow of evil?
4360I confess I am glad in other respects, because--""Because what?"
4360I cried,"not one kiss, not one smile, not one word of welcome?
4360I cried;"you will not try if you can save him?"
4360I deemed my happiness perfect-- with love, wealth, and friendship, what more could a man desire?
4360I desire you to be my lover always, as you were when Fabio lived-- why bring commonplace matrimony into the heaven of such a passion as ours?"
4360I exclaimed, playfully,"do you still work hard, little Lilla, even when the apple season is over?"
4360I exclaimed, with a forced laugh, inwardly cursing his detestable flippancy;"that is the fashionable mode of taking vengeance?"
4360I exclaimed--"wife that I so ardently loved-- wife that I would have died for indeed, had you bade me!--why did you betray me?
4360I fancied not-- her look was too pure and candid; yet who could tell?
4360I fear I was too hasty?"
4360I felt it up and down and found a hollow in it-- was this the first step of the stair?
4360I had surely the right to consider it as my property?
4360I have always been physically courageous, but at the same time, in spite of my education, I am somewhat superstitious-- what Neapolitan is not?
4360I heard the fresh voices of children singing in the next room:"D''ou vient le petit Gesu?
4360I indulged in no more futile regrets for the past-- why should I mourn the loss of a love I never possessed?
4360I knew it was a lie-- but I seized the hand whose caresses stung me, and held it hard, as I answered:"YOU love ME?
4360I laugh because-- because, cara mia, our moonlight ramble is so pleasant-- and amusing-- is it not?"
4360I like the picture you have on the easel there-- may I see it more closely?"
4360I readily admitted his charm of manner; had I not myself been subjugated and fascinated by it in the old happy, foolish days?
4360I remembered that those gates had been thoroughly fastened before, when I came up the road from Naples-- why then had they been opened since?
4360I remembered the lithe figure, so like Guido, that had glided in the Indian canoe toward me and had plunged a dagger three times in my heart?
4360I repeated, half absently;"oh, you mean the child of the landlady?
4360I said gently:"You are going home, fauciulla mia?"
4360I said in a thrilling whisper,"what is this?
4360I said, calmly,"what has the big Nicolo or his brother to do with me?"
4360I said, somewhat roughly,"will you sell me a suit or no?"
4360I said, with a cheerful air--"what news?"
4360I said,"and what of Signor Ferrari when he was left alone by his two friends?"
4360I should be sorry to trouble you unnecessarily-- and you perhaps will not have an opportunity of seeing her for some days?"
4360I shuddered involuntarily at the image my own heated fancy had conjured up; should I always see Guido thus, I thought, even in my dreams?
4360I stared blankly on the ground-- would some demon spring from it and give me the answer I sought?
4360I suppose his wife came between you?"
4360I thought he commanded a large band?"
4360I was at first somewhat afraid of old Assunta-- she had been MY nurse-- was it possible that she would not recognize me?
4360I was your wife already-- why-- why?
4360I wondered if any of the company were superstitious?
4360I wondered with a half shudder-- would my end be like his?
4360I would not plead for him-- why should I?
4360I would not tell you a lie-- why should I?
4360I-- why, what is the matter?
4360If I am beautiful, is that my fault?
4360If he could have realized the truth, would his face have worn quite so careless a smile-- would his manner have been quite so free and dauntless?
4360If it will please you, I can guarantee that I shall never make love to the lady unless--""Unless what?"
4360If men are fools, can_ I_ help it?
4360If you inform the superioress of the convent that I am your betrothed husband, I suppose I shall be permitted to see you when I call?"
4360In a little while I met with an obstruction-- it was hard and cold-- a stone wall, surely?
4360In the joys of the carnival who thinks of the dead?
4360In what horrible atmosphere-- in what dense darkness?
4360Infidelity again!--even in this ancient legend, what did Cybele care for old Saturn, whose wife she was?
4360Is he satisfied with the passage money?"
4360Is it not Byron who says that women, like stars, look best at night?
4360Is it not so?"
4360Is not the destruction of illusion worse than illusion itself?
4360Is she not a fair cause for a dispute even unto death?
4360Is there a bright moon?"
4360Is there a married woman living who does not now and then throw a small stone of insolent satire at her husband when his back is turned?
4360Is there not a reward offered, and am not I poor?
4360Is there not a something in his manner that seems familiar?"
4360Is this the plague?"
4360It is only a woman who can always win her own way-- am I not right, conte?"
4360It is time you prepared for your journey, is it not?
4360It is understood that you go to Avellino to- morrow evening?"
4360It was a good intention, but you know what place is paved with similar designs?"
4360Its master, did I say?
4360Labor can always command its price, and what so laborious in this age as to be honest?
4360Life and liberty!--of what use were they to me now, save for one thing-- revenge?
4360Look at me, Nina!--look at me, my twice- wedded wife!--Look at me!--do you not know your HUSBAND?"
4360Marquis, will you do me the honor to arrange the affair?"
4360May I ask why?"
4360May I ask why?"
4360May I ask you to make my suspense brief?
4360May I be permitted to see this document?"
4360May I see them now-- immediately?"
4360May I see this one of yours?"
4360May I take it off?"
4360May be you find it hard to understand the possibility of Scheming and carrying out so prolonged a vengeance as mine?
4360Mechanically and feebly she repeated the words after me--"WHERE IS HE?
4360Mere men and women who lived and loved and lied to one another as bravely as we do?
4360Midday or midnight?
4360Much has been said latterly of the wrongs perpetrated on women by men; will no one take up the other side of the question?
4360Must I wait till evening and slink out of this charnel- house like the ghost of a wretched criminal?
4360My face must have betrayed some sign of my inward emotion, for Ferrari exclaimed:"You are fatigued, conte?
4360My father''s?
4360My good sir, why be ashamed of your feelings?
4360Nay, what friends will you find at all in the world when you need substantial good?
4360Never?
4360No?
4360Not if you wedded Lilla Monti?"
4360Now, had they left me my cigar- case?
4360Now, was that all?
4360Of what avail is a fair body tenanted by a fiendish soul?
4360Of what use to give even roof- shelter to a poor old human creature, maimed, broken, and useless for evermore?
4360On my return from Avellino shall I be welcome?"
4360One passage in this poetical and romantic correspondence fixed my attention: it ran thus:"Why do you write so much of marriage to me, Guido mio?
4360Only yesterday-- body of Bacchus!--who would have thought it?"
4360Or comedy?
4360Or dead?
4360Or die of thirst?
4360Otherwise he would leave Rome at once, and we do not want him back just immediately, do we?"
4360Over and over again I asked myself quietly and in cold blood-- was there any reason why I should have pity on them?
4360Perhaps fidelity was not the fashion now among educated persons?
4360Perhaps it was a worn- out virtue, left to the bas- peuple-- to the vulgar-- and to animals?
4360Perhaps you think I am your late husband?"
4360Perhaps your feelings are too deep for words?
4360Pray for me; I suppose you DO pray a great deal here?"
4360Releasing his hand, I asked, in a tone of affected regret,"And when must you leave us, carino?"
4360Resuming the interrupted conversation I said:"And this poor weak- minded Romani-- was his death sudden?"
4360Revenge is sweet!--but who shall paint the horrors of memory?
4360Ridicule?
4360See now, what would you?
4360Shall I send for her, or are you bored by children?"
4360Shall I tell you more?"
4360She had left the convent and was now at home-- when should she have the happiness of welcoming me, her best beloved Cesare, back to Naples?
4360She has no illness, no infectious disorder?
4360She hesitated, and at last said, anxiously:"I trust you were not offended at my remark concerning Nina Romani''s marriage with you?
4360She is not dangerous to life or limb, is she?"
4360She is so young and light- hearted and thoughtless that-- but you understand me, do you not?"
4360She loved me?
4360She paused, apparently expecting some reply, for she looked about her wonderingly, and continued--"You did not answer me-- are you afraid?
4360She paused-- her wild eyes gazed upward-- did she see some horror there?
4360She shivered slightly, and there was a sound of querulous complaint in her voice as she said:"Have we to go much further, Cesare?"
4360She smiled as she withdrew it, and looking at me, or rather at the glasses I wore, she inquired:"You suffer with your eyes?"
4360She was good, innocent, and true; how was it, I wondered dreamily, that I could not have won a woman''s heart like hers?
4360She whom I loved-- she as delicate of form, as angel- like in face as the child- bride of Christ, St. Agnes-- she, even she was-- what?
4360She would have grown to womanhood-- what then?
4360Should I mend that and nail it up as though my body were still inside?
4360Should I take it with me?
4360Should we not grieve sorely that we had failed to avail ourselves of the secure and classical method of cremation?
4360So will you best serve me-- you understand?"
4360So!--a love- gift, signor, or an in memoriam of the dear and valued friend you have lost?
4360Some unpleasantness with Guido?
4360Something in my face must have spoken my thoughts, for the captain said, gently:"The signor has no mother?"
4360Suddenly she said, with some anxiety in her tone:"You will not tell Guido?
4360Suppose I could in the dense darkness feel my way to those steps and climb up to that door-- of what avail?
4360Surely YOU also are in danger of being insulted by him when he knows all?"
4360Surely not the Contessa Romani, to whom you were so anxious to introduce me?
4360Surely there is nothing graceful about such a commemoration of the birth of Christ as this?
4360Surely you do not find me guilty of such ungallantry?
4360Tell me when-- and how?"
4360Tell me, are you not related to the Romani family?
4360Tell me, do you know me?
4360That is because you are a little star, I suppose?"
4360That sound-- was it not a rippling peal of gay sweet laughter?
4360The countess wishes me to say--""You saw her last night?"
4360The dear nuns would be so glad to see me-- and I am sure you will not object?
4360The dinner- hour can be fixed to suit your convenience of course; what say you to eight o''clock?
4360The excellent brothers Respetti are to blame-- their absence to- night has caused-- but why should I disturb your equanimity?
4360The monk-- the man Pietro-- where were they?
4360The time seemed to me so long-- would the end NEVER come?
4360The weapons were now loaded-- and the marquis, looking about him with a cheerful business- like air, remarked:"I think we may now place our men?"
4360Then I must act as executioner-- and what torture was ever so perfectly unique as the one I have devised?
4360Then he loved me"--here her eyes glimmered with malicious triumph--"yes-- he was mad for me-- and--""You loved him?"
4360Then how comes it to be open?
4360Then looking toward me,"You do not object to a gloria, conte?
4360Then must I starve?
4360Then turning to me she inquired, with some stateliness of manner, what had caused the attack?
4360Then why such foolish notions of pity-- of forgiveness, that were beginning to steal into my mind?
4360There WERE some women then who preferred death to infidelity?
4360There are women who count their lovers by the score, and yet they are not blamed; why should I suffer more than they?"
4360There is the portmanteau to pack-- and who will see to the luggage when you leave on Friday morning for Rome?
4360There the drama began-- where would it end?
4360There was a nauseating influence in it; where had I inhaled that subtle perfume last?
4360These are my mother''s gems-- how dared you wear them?
4360They, poor things, need such attentions-- and often invite them-- why not?
4360This friend of yours is young, senza dubbio?"
4360Thou, with a ready wit, a glancing eye, a gay smile, a supple form, thou wilt not enter the lists of love?
4360Thus we are deluded even by our nearest and dearest-- and is it well or ill for us, I wonder, when we are at last undeceived?
4360To let out a visitor?
4360To relieve him of his friendly embarrassment, I said:"You spoke of Teresa?
4360To such, what lesson is learned by the daily example of the nuns who mortify their flesh, fast, pray and weep?
4360True-- it would be sweet to slay sin in the act of sinning, but then-- must a Romani brand himself as a murderer in the sight of men?
4360Truly Naples affords but sorry entertainment to a stranger; is there naught to hear but stories of the dying and the dead?"
4360Tu m''ami?"
4360Unchristian you call me?
4360Vincenzo looked dubious, but finally summoned up courage to say:"Will the eccellenza permit--""You to make a fool of yourself?"
4360WHERE IS HE?
4360WHERE IS HE?"
4360WHERE IS HE?"
4360WHO was dead?
4360Was Dante sorry, think you, when he was permitted to behold Paradise?"
4360Was I glad or sorry for this?
4360Was I indeed so changed?
4360Was I so bad an actor after all?
4360Was anything wrong with the service?
4360Was ever a man in the position of being delicately flattered by his own wife before?
4360Was he coward as well as traitor?
4360Was it not the self- same laughter that had pierced my brain the night I witnessed her amorous interview with Guido in the avenue?
4360Was it possible that the horrors of a night in the vault had made such a dire impression upon me?
4360Was she roaming about, poor child, like Ophelia, knowing not whither she went, and was her apparent gayety the fantastic mirth of a disordered brain?
4360Was there NO escape possible from this bewildering snare that thus caught and slew the souls of men?
4360Was there any nobleness, any honesty, any real sterling good quality in either of them to justify my consideration?
4360Was there one world among them where no women were born?
4360Was there something in a life of luxury that sapped virtue at its root?
4360We love, we desire, we possess; and then?
4360We stay the night at the hotel, and leave for Rome and Paris the first thing in the morning, do we not?"
4360We tire, you say?
4360Well-- there was nothing in that-- it was as it should be-- was not Guido as my brother?
4360Were all the passionate embraces, the lingering kisses, the vows of fidelity, and words of caressing endearment as naught?
4360Were not Nina''s eyes trained to appear as though they held the very soul of truth?
4360Were the poor alone to possess all the old world virtues-- honor and faith, love and loyalty?
4360Were you all struck dumb, amici, that you stared at the table- cloth so persistently and with such admirable gravity?
4360What ails you?
4360What amused her now?
4360What can I say, what can I do-- to make you believe me?"
4360What can be done with devils such as these?
4360What can it be?
4360What caprice of Fate associated me with this famous brigand?
4360What could it be?
4360What devil possesses you, that you offer such unwarrantable insult to our host?"
4360What devil, or rather what angel of retribution, had whispered it to my soul?
4360What did Guido say?
4360What did he mean by calling ME old?
4360What did he take me for, I wondered?
4360What do you want with me, rascal?"
4360What does one marry for at all?
4360What exquisite far- off floating voice of cheer was that?
4360What fairer fate could a man desire?--what life more certain to keep health in the body and peace in the mind?
4360What followed?
4360What had I to do with peace or good- will?
4360What had I to do with the inward purity and peace this memento of Christ is supposed to leave in our souls?
4360What had she been like when young-- before she had shut herself within the convent walls-- before she had set the crucifix like a seal on her heart?
4360What had they done to me?
4360What harm have I done?
4360What has become of you all this while?"
4360What have you arranged?"
4360What have you heard?
4360What inhabitants peopled those fair planets, I wondered?
4360What is the usual fate that falls to even the best woman?
4360What letters have you there?"
4360What matter how the face changes, so long as the heart is true?
4360What say you to such a plan?"
4360What say you?
4360What say you?"
4360What says Voltaire of the blind god?
4360What says this painted inscription?
4360What should I do with her?
4360What should SHE care?"
4360What should be done with HER-- with HIM, my treacherous friend, my smiling betrayer?
4360What should be done?
4360What so difficult as to keep silence on other people''s affairs?
4360What was death-- what were the horrors of the vault-- what was anything I had suffered to the anguish that racked me now?
4360What was it to me that the bleeding Christ forgave His enemies in death?
4360What was that?
4360What was that?
4360What was there in those clear candid eyes that made me involuntarily bow my head in a reverential salutation as she passed?
4360What will you say then?"
4360What wouldst thou with a ghost of him?
4360What, madame?
4360What-- if the prison to which we have consigned the deeply regretted one should not have such close doors as we fondly imagined?
4360Whatever his faults, his wife of course was true to him while he lived; she considered him worthy of fidelity-- is it not so?"
4360When do we shudder with equal disgust at our own social enormities?
4360When followed out to the better end what is the good of it-- where does it lead?
4360When may I see them?"
4360When the little Teresa was in the question, look you, what could I do?
4360When will you take me to see them?"
4360Where is the fellow?"
4360Where is the light you spoke of?"
4360Where was I?
4360Who are my guests you ask?
4360Who comes next?"
4360Who could not hear them?
4360Who could say what her future might have been?
4360Who is Teresa?"
4360Who is to be pacified or pleased by our contrition?
4360Who shall say you are not a sentimental bridegroom?
4360Who was its master?
4360Why are you so pale and stern?
4360Why did not monsieur send for his carriage?"
4360Why did you marry me?
4360Why do you ask?"
4360Why do you start?"
4360Why had they taken the pillows from under my head?
4360Why have you brought me here?
4360Why not?
4360Why not?
4360Why not?
4360Why not?
4360Why should I be?
4360Why should I betray him?
4360Why should I damn the actress or the play before the curtain was ready to fall on both?
4360Why should I lay myself open to a charge of murder, even for a just cause?
4360Why should a man be tied to one woman when he has love enough for twenty?
4360Why should he care for me?
4360Why should he hate my wife?
4360Why should there be any prejudice against it?
4360Why try to excuse it now?
4360Why underrate yourself?"
4360Why, because my own love had turned to ashes in my grasp, should I mock at those who fancied they had found the golden fruit of the Hesperides?
4360Why-- what need have you of such valorous associates?
4360Why?
4360Why?
4360Why?--what for?
4360Will it mend matters?
4360Will not one of her soft embraces recompense thee for all thy past anguish, and suffice to make thee young again?"
4360Will that suit you?"
4360Will you come with me to- morrow night?
4360Will you do it?"
4360Will you do this?"
4360Will you give me a chance of seeing your pictures?
4360Will you have some coffee?"
4360Will you help him?
4360Will you make earth a heaven for me, Nina mia, or will you only love me as much-- or as little-- as you loved your late husband?"
4360Will you take it and wear it to please me?"
4360Would he come back to Naples to console the now childless widow?
4360Would my wife, would Guido recognize me?
4360Would she have kissed me then?
4360Would she have smiled so sweetly?
4360Would she never come?
4360Would she never come?
4360Would they revive now, think you, for your great Prince de Majano if he told them they were fair?
4360Would you obtain a kiss from a pair of ripe- red lips that seem the very abode of honeyed sweetness?
4360Yes, I kissed her now-- why should I not?
4360Yes-- they spoke of things that must be forgotten and unuttered; what should I do with these tell- tale eyes of mine?
4360Yes?
4360Yes?"
4360Yet if I could do one good action now-- would it not be as a star shining in the midst of my soul''s storm and darkness?
4360Yet the question remained to be solved-- How had they gained access to MY ancestral vault, unless by means of a false key?
4360Yet the question remained-- Where was I?
4360You are Andrea Luziani, and this is the brig''Laura,''--we are right in this; is it not so?"
4360You are astonished at that?
4360You are perhaps a coral- fisher?
4360You believe women to be angels-- I know them to be devils-- mas il n''y a qu''un pas entre les deux?
4360You call this inhuman perhaps?
4360You can not blame me for this?"
4360You can not understand the existence of such conflicting elements in the Italian character?
4360You can understand this, can you not, amico, or does it seem to you a folly?
4360You do not blame me for helping away a poor devil who trusts me?"
4360You have killed him?"
4360You have not heard of the rich Romani?
4360You have reposed yourself?
4360You know the private passage through which we entered the hotel this morning on our return from church?"
4360You loved me-- Guido loved me-- could_ I_ prevent it?
4360You remember the jewels I sent you before we ever met?"
4360You say he was handsome-- was he tall or short-- dark or fair?"
4360You say you know me-- well!--are you not glad to see your husband?--you, who were such an inconsolable widow?"
4360You see, my dear conte, nowadays a duel is very frequently decided with swords rather than pistols, and why?
4360You seemed to love me so much; why are you not always so fond of your faithful"NINA?"
4360You surely are not vexed?
4360You think she loves you?"
4360You understand me?
4360You understand?"
4360You will come with me?"
4360You will come, will you not?
4360You wish me to keep our engagement secret?"
4360You wish to see me for once without these,"and I touched my dark glasses--"is it not so?"
4360against whom?
4360and after all, am I so vile?
4360and was he not a lover of books and simple pleasures?"
4360and was it not part of my vengeance?
4360and where?"
4360and why?"
4360and why?"
4360could I take his hand in mine?
4360cried Captain de Hamal, seizing him by the arm--"do you know what you have done?"
4360demanded Ferrari, gayly;"what, in the name of Heaven, is the good of being penitent about anything?
4360does she know where you are going?"
4360exclaimed Chevalier Mancini, scornfully--"Is that all?
4360exclaimed Guido, fiercely,"do I not think of it?
4360he muttered--"think you a man tied hand and foot can run like a deer?
4360he queried, with a sort of childish eagerness,"did I not take a good vengeance?
4360he said,"What would you?
4360he used to sing-- what was it?
4360if I could murder you twenty times over, what then?
4360in what way does this concern me?"
4360is it so?"
4360like a foam- bell on the waves; and Carmelo-- You have seen Carmelo, signor?"
4360no love words for me?"
4360not yet?"
4360of what avail was God Himself, I widely mused, since even He could not keep one woman true?
4360or superior beings to whom the least falsehood is unknown?
4360or"Hast thou no desire for that past delight?"
4360pursued my wife''s dulcet voice, breaking in upon my reflections,"did you really imagine Signor Ferrari''s suit might meet with favor at my hands?"
4360she answered, with a grave and virtuous air;"how can you think so?
4360she answered--"and tell me-- your name is Cesare, is it not?"
4360she asked, in fainter tones;"has anything happened?"
4360she asked, in the feeblest and most plaintive tone imaginable, so weak that I myself could scarcely hear it;"has somebody hurt your eyes?
4360she has refused to marry you?"
4360the raging fire- eater?"
4360the roses are innocent of evil?
4360to allow me to fix our wedding for the second month of the new year?"
4360to be able to hold your head up unabashed before your own servants?
4360to feel that you can actually give an order without its being instantly countermanded?
4360troubled her a little, was very far from imagining the real truth of the matter, as indeed how should she?
4360what creature of mortal flesh and blood could forgive such treachery?
4360what had Carmelo Neri done to deserve the priceless jewel of a true woman''s heart?
4360what had I done to merit such foul deception as that which I was now called upon to avenge?
4360what makes you look so pale?"
4360what use is there in threats?
4360what was that?
4360what were all these resources of the world''s weakness to ME?
4360what will you, signor?
4360where had I heard that?
4360who could be happier?
4360who was he?"
4360who would have children?
4360why should I pity?
4360why should they have any?
4360you are Lilla Monti?"
4360you are angry, and I know I should not have spoken; but tell me, how can I look at Lilla and be happy when I feel that you are alone and sad?"
4360you have not KILLED her?"
4360you will not kill me?
17500''Tis news you have brought us, then, Christian?
17500''Tisn''t so bad as that with me?
17500A gift?
17500A hopfrog?
17500A nice- looking girl, no doubt?
17500A young woman?
17500About me?
17500Ah!--that''s you, you traitor, is it?
17500Ah, by my crown, what''s that?
17500Ah, how do you know that?
17500Ah, mother should have asked somebody else to be present tonight, perhaps?
17500Ah, you think,''That weak girl-- how is she going to get a man to marry her when she chooses?'' 17500 Ah-- what was that?"
17500Ah-- where?
17500And I was born wi''a caul, and perhaps can be no more ruined than drowned?
17500And can you cling to gaiety so eagerly as to walk all the way to a village festival in search of it?
17500And can you forget so soon what I proposed to you the other night? 17500 And do you find excitement?"
17500And he did n''t disappoint her this time?
17500And how about the new- married folks down there at the Quiet Woman Inn?
17500And how is your poor purblind husband?
17500And how long did that last?
17500And no ba''dy gaieties, I suppose? 17500 And not long?
17500And not that I have left Alderworth?
17500And other folk-- d''ye think''twill be much pain to''em, Mister Fairway?
17500And ruined her character?
17500And she is getting on well, you say?
17500And she speaks against me?
17500And were you not tired the next day? 17500 And what ghastly gallicrow might the poor fellow have been like, Master Fairway?"
17500And what she said to you?
17500And what then?
17500And why were you crying so just now?
17500And you are going to say it now?
17500And you fainted?
17500And you have heard nothing?
17500And you only married him on that account?
17500And you will keep the secret of my would- be marriage from Clym for the present?
17500And you will not come in, then?
17500And you will part friends with me?
17500Anything else?
17500Are you going with me?
17500Are you not ashamed of me, who used never to be a crying animal?
17500Are you sure it was my house she was coming to?
17500As we are imagining what is impossible and absurd, suppose we change the subject?
17500Ashes?
17500Asks to pay his addresses to me?
17500Aunt,said Thomasin, with round eyes,"what DO you mean?"
17500Be ye a- cold, Christian?
17500Be you Miss Vye? 17500 Beauty?"
17500Beds be dear to fokes that do n''t keep geese, bain''t they, Mister Fairway?
17500Beest hurt?
17500Beg your pardon, we thought that was your maning?
17500But a little rakish, hey? 17500 But do n''t you really care whether I meet you or whether I do n''t?"
17500But had n''t you better run and tell Captain Vye?
17500But he will take something?
17500But if you have no water?
17500But must you go home yet?
17500But there''s good art in me? 17500 But this kind man who has done so much will, I am sure, take you right on to my house?"
17500But we''ll gie''em another song?
17500But what''s the meaning of it all?
17500But why not join us?
17500But why should she come to see me if she felt so bitterly against me? 17500 But why should you think there is anything between me and Mr. Wildeve?
17500But you are not angry, mother?
17500But you had been staying at Anglebury?
17500But you might not like to see a lot of folk going crazy round a stick, under your very nose?
17500But you will surely have some?
17500But, Damon, please pray tell me what I must do? 17500 But, darling, what shall we do?"
17500But, miss, you will hear one word?
17500But, my good man, what have you done with the dice?
17500Ca n''t you answer me?
17500Can I go, can I go?
17500Can a man be too cruel to his mother''s enemy?
17500Can it be that you really do n''t know of it-- how much she had always thought of you?
17500Can my old room be got ready for me tonight, grandfather? 17500 Can you ask that?"
17500Can you maintain that I sit and tell untruths, when all I wish to do is to save you from sorrow? 17500 Can you read, madam?
17500Can you repeat them to me? 17500 Can you say so?"
17500Captain Vye is not at home?
17500Captain Vye?
17500Certain- sure?
17500Charley, what are they doing?
17500Christian, is n''t it?
17500Coffins, where?
17500Coming across the water to Budmouth by steamer, is n''t he?
17500Consult me? 17500 Could you hold this a moment, while I do it-- or shall I call your servant?"
17500D''ye think he had great pain when''a died?
17500D''ye think so, Timothy?
17500D''ye think''twill hurt me? 17500 Damon, what is the matter with you, that you speak like that?"
17500Dark or fair?
17500Dear Clym, I wonder how your face looks now?
17500Determined to go on, then?
17500Did he know it was my glove?
17500Did he wear a light wideawake?
17500Did she tell you of this?
17500Did you call me, aunt?
17500Did you ever know anybody who was born to it besides myself?
17500Did you indeed think I believed you were married?
17500Did you notice, my dear, what Mrs. Eustacia wore this afternoon besides the dark dress?
17500Did you see my mother the day before she died?
17500Did you whistle, Miss Vye?
17500Didst ever know a man, neighbour, that no woman at all would marry?
17500Diggory?
17500Do about you?
17500Do any of them seem to care about my not being there?
17500Do girls often play as mummers now? 17500 Do he rave about his mother just the same, poor fellow?"
17500Do n''t ye think we''d better get home- along, neighbours? 17500 Do n''t you think it very odd that it should n''t be given to me?"
17500Do you agree to it?
17500Do you believe it possible that I would run the risk of doing that?
17500Do you brave me? 17500 Do you know one person to whom she spoke of it?"
17500Do you know the consequence of this recall to me, my old darling? 17500 Do you know what is in this letter?"
17500Do you mean Miss Vye?
17500Do you mean Nature? 17500 Do you often go to see it?"
17500Do you often walk this way?
17500Do you press me to tell?
17500Do you say it to me-- do you?
17500Do you still prefer going away yourself to my leaving you?
17500Do you still think you found somebody fairer?
17500Do you think I wish to do otherwise for one moment?
17500Do you think she would like to teach children?
17500Do you think we did well in using the adder''s fat?
17500Do you want me any more, please?
17500Do? 17500 Does anybody else know?"
17500Does n''t join in with the lads in their games, to get some sort of excitement in this lonely place?
17500Dostn''t wish th''wast three sixes again, Grandfer, as you was when you first learnt to sing it?
17500Dostn''t wish wast young again, I say? 17500 Eustacia?
17500Eustacia?
17500Frightened?
17500Gave it away?
17500Half an hour of what?
17500Has it hurt you?
17500Has it seemed long since you last saw me?
17500Has this cruelly treated girl been able to walk home?
17500Have the ghost of one appeared to anybody, Master Fairway?
17500Have they gone to their new home?
17500Have they?
17500Have you dug up the potatoes and other roots?
17500Have you heard that he has chosen to work as a furze- cutter?
17500Have you seen one of my last new gloves about the house, Rachel?
17500He is paid for his pastime, is n''t he? 17500 Hey?
17500Hey?
17500How CAN you say''I am happier,''and nothing changed?
17500How am I mistaken in her?
17500How came Miss Vye to have anything to do with it, if she was only on a walk that way?
17500How came she to die?
17500How came you to be there? 17500 How can I have the conscience to marry after having driven two women to their deaths?
17500How can a man wish that, and yet love on? 17500 How can you dare to speak to me like that?
17500How can you imply that he required guarding against me?
17500How could she have asked you that?
17500How could that be?
17500How did she know your Christian name?
17500How did you come by that?
17500How did you come here?
17500How did you get here tonight, Thomasin?
17500How did you know it? 17500 How did you manage to become white, Diggory?"
17500How do you come back here again?
17500How do you come here? 17500 How do you know that Mr. Wildeve will come to Rainbarrow again tonight?"
17500How do you know?
17500How do you know?
17500How do you mean?
17500How have I?
17500How if she will not come?
17500How is Damon?
17500How is it you are so late? 17500 How is it-- that she can be married so soon?"
17500How long has he known of this?
17500How long shall we have to live in the tiny cottage, Clym?
17500How meaning?
17500How much do you get for cutting these faggots?
17500How often does he write to you? 17500 How was her face?"
17500How''s that?
17500How-- when they were your own?
17500How?
17500How?
17500How?
17500Hullo-- what''s that-- wheels I hear coming?
17500I could even go with you now?
17500I have come here well enough,she said,"and why should n''t I go back again?
17500I hope you reached home safely?
17500I mean a way two horses and a van can travel over?
17500I say, Sam,observed Humphrey when the old man was gone,"she and Clym Yeobright would make a very pretty pigeon- pair-- hey?
17500I should have to work, perhaps?
17500I suppose I may let it slip down?
17500I suppose nobody can overhear us?
17500I suppose nobody has come while I''ve been away?
17500I suppose the moon was terrible full when you were born?
17500I suppose the young lady is not up yet?
17500I suppose you have heard the Egdon news, Eustacia?
17500I suppose-- she was immensely taken with him?
17500I think my husband is going to leave me or do something dreadful-- I do n''t know what-- Clym, will you go and see? 17500 I thought Mrs. Yeobright was a ladylike woman?
17500I will be nobody else''s in the world-- does that satisfy you?
17500I wonder if it is mine?
17500I wonder why he has not come to tell me?
17500I''ll go to''em tonight and sing a wedding song, hey? 17500 I?
17500If she had wished it, would she not have sent to me by this time?
17500In what way is that? 17500 In what way?"
17500In what way?
17500Injure you? 17500 Is Mrs. Yeobright at home?"
17500Is he coming in?
17500Is he kind to you, Thomasin?
17500Is he known in these parts?
17500Is he light- headed, ma''am?
17500Is it because of the Maypole?
17500Is it not a pity to knock it out?
17500Is it worth while? 17500 Is it you, Eustacia?"
17500Is my granddaughter here?
17500Is n''t there meaning in it?
17500Is she a young lady inclined for adventures?
17500Is she lively-- is she glad? 17500 Is she married?"
17500Is that a bad sight?
17500Is that honestly said?
17500Is that very dangerous?
17500Is that you, Christian?
17500Is the water clear?
17500Is there a track across here to Mis''ess Yeobright''s house?
17500Is there any cart track up across here to Mis''ess Yeobright''s, of Blooms- End?
17500Is there any chance of Mr. Yeobright getting better?
17500Is there any use in saying what can do no good, aunt?
17500Is there no passage inside the door, then?
17500Is there? 17500 Is this young witch- lady going to stay long at Mistover?"
17500Is yours a long part?
17500It has to do with Miss Yeobright?
17500It is Mr. Venn, I think?
17500It is a good thing for his cousin what- d''ye- call- her? 17500 It is all over, then?"
17500It is n''t true?
17500It is not that girl of Blooms- End, who has been talked about more or less lately? 17500 It would be a great change for me; but will it not seem strange?"
17500It would be better for you, Eustacia, if I were to die?
17500Lord''s sake, I thought, whatever fiery mommet is this come to trouble us? 17500 Lost?
17500May I have the other few minutes another time?
17500Me? 17500 Mine?"
17500Miss Vye was there too?
17500Money from Mr. Wildeve? 17500 Mr. Wildeve is not the only man who has asked Thomasin to marry him; and why should not another have a chance?
17500Mumming, for instance?
17500Must I come in, too, aunt?
17500Must you go?
17500My eyes have got foggy- like-- please may I sit down, master?
17500My interests?
17500Nine folks out of ten would own''twas going too far to dance then, I suppose?
17500No, never? 17500 No?
17500No?
17500Not altogether the selling of reddle?
17500Not even on the shoulders of Thomasin?
17500Now, I put it to you: would you at this present moment agree to be his wife if that had not happened to entangle you with him?
17500Now, I should think, cap''n, that Miss Eustacia had about as much in her head that comes from books as anybody about here?
17500Now, Thomasin,she said sternly,"what''s the meaning of this disgraceful performance?"
17500Now, what shall we do? 17500 Now, would you do anything to please me, Charley?"
17500Oh, did he?
17500Oh, what is it?
17500Oh?... 17500 On account of your approaching marriage with her?"
17500On what? 17500 Only you here?"
17500Or have n''t you pluck enough to go on?
17500Ought we not to run home as hard as we can, neighbours, as''tis getting late?
17500Perhaps I may kiss your hand?
17500Perhaps it was one of the heath- folk going home?
17500Pistols?
17500Please will your grandfather lend us his fuel- house to try over our parts in, tonight at seven o''clock?
17500See whom?
17500Shall I get you something to eat and drink?
17500Shall I go and bring the victuals now?
17500Shall I go away?
17500Shall I go with you? 17500 Shall I go with you?"
17500Shall I stretch this corner a shade tighter, Timothy?
17500She is melancholy, then?
17500She was going to Alderworth when you first met her?
17500Shining, is it? 17500 Since you have come so far,"said Eustacia,"will you see me safely past that hut?
17500So late, is it? 17500 So perhaps I shall rub on?
17500Somebody who wants looking after?
17500Still waiting, are you, my lady?
17500Strange notions, has he?
17500Surely I never led you to expect such a thing?
17500Tamsin, have you heard that Eustacia is not with me now?
17500That your chances in life are ruined by marrying in haste an unfortunate man?
17500The dance and the walking have tired you?
17500The next thing is for us to go and wish''em joy, I suppose?
17500The nurse is carrying the baby?
17500Then Clym is not at home?
17500Then I may shake your hand?
17500Then a man may feel for years that he is good solid company, and be wrong about himself after all?
17500Then he was not absolutely gone when you left?
17500Then he was not coming back again for some time?
17500Then how could you say that I should marry some town man? 17500 Then the wedding, if it comes off, will be on the morning of the very day Clym comes home?"
17500Then where did you first see her?
17500Then where is she?.
17500Then why are you so ruffled?
17500Then you are vexed at being discovered?
17500Then you have not seen Christian or any of the Egdon folks?
17500Then you''ll not be wanting me any more to- night, ma''am?
17500They are a great deal in a small compass, You think?
17500Thomasin, do you know that they have had a bitter quarrel?
17500To dance?
17500To see how pretty the Maypole looks in the moonlight?
17500Travel? 17500 True?"
17500Very much indeed?
17500Very much?
17500Very well-- are you ready, Olly?
17500Was it quite safe when the winder shook?
17500Was she not admitted to your house after all?
17500Was you born a reddleman?
17500Watching me, I suppose?
17500Waxing a bed- tick, souls?
17500We three?
17500Well, darling, you agree?
17500Well, first you will promise me this-- that you wo n''t be angry and call me anything harsh if you disagree with what I propose?
17500Well, have ye heard the news? 17500 Well, how is it going on now?"
17500Well, what?
17500Well-- what?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Well?
17500Were you dancing with her, Diggory?
17500Were you making that dusty light I saw by now?
17500What DO you mean?
17500What are picturesque ravines and mists to us who see nothing else? 17500 What are you going to do?"
17500What are you rattling in there?
17500What be they?
17500What be ye quaking for, Christian?
17500What can be done? 17500 What can it mean?
17500What could have been in your mind to lead you to speak like that?
17500What could hurt me on this heath, who have nothing?
17500What course is that?
17500What d''ye mean?
17500What depressed you?
17500What did he want?
17500What did she do at my house?
17500What did she do then?
17500What did the gentleman say to her, my sonny?
17500What did you do such a crazy thing as that for? 17500 What did you mean by that?"
17500What did you tell him?
17500What did you watch me for?
17500What do I know about Mr. Wildeve now? 17500 What do you mean?"
17500What do you mean?
17500What do you mean?
17500What do you propose to do?
17500What do you think I have to tell you, Clym?
17500What do you think of her now?
17500What do you want, Charley?
17500What does it mean-- it is not skimmity- riding, I hope?
17500What has happened?
17500What has that to do with it?
17500What have made you so down? 17500 What have you heard to make you think that?"
17500What have you to blame yourself about?
17500What irregularity?
17500What is his name?
17500What is it you say?
17500What is it?
17500What is my character?
17500What is the matter, Eustacia?
17500What light is that on the hill?
17500What made you hide away from me?
17500What man?
17500What new trouble has come?
17500What noise was that?
17500What of?
17500What shall I do? 17500 What shall I tell mother?"
17500What strangeness can there be in relations dancing together?
17500What tone?
17500What was in this letter?
17500What was it?
17500What was that?
17500What were you doing up there?
17500What will you do with a wife, then?
17500What will, then, Charley?
17500What''s that?
17500What''s that?
17500What''s that?
17500What''s the good of a thing that you ca n''t put down in the ashes to warm, hey, neighbours; that''s what I ask?
17500What''s the rights of the matter about''em? 17500 What, are you one of the Egdon mummers for this year?"
17500What, do you like Egdon Heath?
17500What, is he going to keep them?
17500What, what?
17500What, you can begin to shed tears and offer me your hand? 17500 What-- I myself?"
17500What?
17500Whatever is Christian Cantle''s teeth a- chattering for?
17500When are you coming indoors, Eustacia?
17500Where am I, aunt?
17500Where are the pistols?
17500Where are they now?
17500Where are you going?
17500Where do you wish to go to?
17500Where has he been living all these years?
17500Where have you been, Clym?
17500Where is she now?
17500Where to?
17500Where, may I ask?
17500Where?
17500Where?
17500Which part do you play, Charley-- the Turkish Knight, do you not?
17500Which part should I keep back?
17500Who are you?
17500Who are you?
17500Who be ye?
17500Who can say?
17500Who gave her away?
17500Who is it?
17500Who is it?
17500Who is she? 17500 Who is the man?"
17500Who may it be for?
17500Who told you that I had not married her?
17500Who was he?
17500Who was there?
17500Who''s Miss Vye?
17500Who''s somebody?
17500Who''s there?
17500Who''s there?
17500Who? 17500 Why ca n''t you do it as well as others?"
17500Why did I try to recall you? 17500 Why did n''t he bring you back?"
17500Why did n''t he take you with him? 17500 Why did n''t she come to my house?
17500Why did n''t you go away? 17500 Why did n''t you tell me that you were going away at this time?"
17500Why did n''t you?
17500Why did not Mr. Wildeve come in?
17500Why did you do it?
17500Why did you never mention this?
17500Why did you?
17500Why do n''t you answer?
17500Why do you say so?
17500Why do you say that-- as if you doubted me?
17500Why do you speak in such a strange way? 17500 Why do you want to do that at this particular time, when at every previous time that I have proposed it you have refused?"
17500Why do you, every time you take a step, go like this?
17500Why does Mrs. Yeobright give parties of this sort?
17500Why does he go out at all?
17500Why does n''t that which belongs to the wife belong to the husband too?
17500Why have you been living here all these days without telling me? 17500 Why is he sleeping there?"
17500Why is it that we are never friendly with the Yeobrights?
17500Why is this?
17500Why not go in, dancing or no? 17500 Why not tonight?"
17500Why not? 17500 Why should I not die if I wish?"
17500Why should it be she? 17500 Why should it be she?"
17500Why should n''t I have a bonfire on the Fifth of November, like other denizens of the heath?
17500Why should n''t I?
17500Why should you say such desperate things?
17500Why should you tell me that?
17500Why should you think it necessary to ask me? 17500 Why will you force me, Clym, to say bitter things?
17500Why?
17500Why?
17500Why?
17500Why?
17500Will it be possible to draw water here tonight?
17500Will it be safe to leave you there alone?
17500Will not Captain Vye get her punished?
17500Will you come in?
17500Will you dance with me?
17500Will you excuse my asking this-- Have you received a gift from Thomasin''s husband?
17500Will you go, dearest? 17500 Will you tell us one thing?"
17500Will you walk a little faster?
17500Will you walk with me to meet him this evening?
17500Wish to consult me on the matter?
17500Wo n''t you come in again, and stay as long as you like?
17500Worse? 17500 Would you let me play your part for one night?"
17500Would you like to help me-- by high- class teaching? 17500 Yes, how long?"
17500Yes,Thomasin murmured,"and I suppose I seem so now... Damon, what do you mean to do about me?"
17500Yes; or why should I have come?
17500Yes? 17500 Yes?"
17500Yes?
17500You are sure the rain does not fall upon baby?
17500You come from Mistover?
17500You did not go with her?
17500You do n''t feel it now?
17500You do n''t know me, ma''am, I suppose?
17500You do not intend to walk home by yourself?
17500You had it from her lips that I had NOT ill- treated her; and at the same time another had it from her lips that I HAD ill- treated her? 17500 You have a child there, my man?"
17500You have been watching us from behind that bush?
17500You have not forgotten how you walked with the poor lady on that hot day?
17500You have taken them away?
17500You have? 17500 You mean to call on Thomasin?"
17500You never told me this before?
17500You rather liked Miss Eustacia, did n''t you?
17500You refuse?
17500You remain near this part?
17500You shall feel so again,said Wildeve, with condescension,"Cups or glasses, gentlemen?"
17500You think a good deal of Paris?
17500You waited too, it seems?
17500You wanted to join hands with me in the ring, if I recollect?
17500You will go to sleep there, I suppose, wo n''t you? 17500 You will write to her in a day or two?"
17500Your first outing will be Monday night, I suppose?
17500''Tisn''t true, then?"
17500''When?''
17500''Where?''
17500A confused sob as from a man was heard within, upon which Eustacia gasped faintly,"That''s Clym-- I must go to him-- yet dare I do it?
17500A curate''s daughter, was she not?"
17500A sensible way of life; but would you like it?"
17500A very strange one?
17500Ah, I wish--""Yes?"
17500Am I not to show favour to any person I may choose without asking permission of a parcel of cottagers?
17500Am I the cause of your sin?"
17500Am I your hound that you should talk to me in this way?"
17500And Thomasin will go with you?"
17500And have you had a good bonfire up there?
17500And if I could, what comfort to me?
17500And is Thomasin in the room?
17500And now, jown it all, I wo n''t say what I bain''t fit for, hey?"
17500And what did the lady say then?"
17500And what did you say?"
17500And when you found it out you went in hot haste to her?
17500And why should I go on scalding my face like this?
17500And, neighbours, if we should be a little late in the finishing, why, tomorrow''s Sunday, and we can sleep it off?"
17500And, turning to the boy,"And then you left her to die?"
17500Angry?
17500Are you a woman-- or am I wrong?"
17500Are you as anxious as ever to help on her marriage?"
17500Are you going to walk with me a little way?"
17500Are you not much obliged to me for making you one?"
17500Are you not nearly spent with the heat?"
17500Are you really ill?"
17500Are you trying to find out something bad about me?"
17500As soon as the white- haired man had vanished she said in a tone of pique to the child,"Ungrateful little boy, how can you contradict me?
17500At the age of six he had asked a Scripture riddle:"Who was the first man known to wear breeches?"
17500At this Eustacia said, with slumbering mischievousness,"What, would you exchange with him-- your fortune for me?"
17500Before she could speak he whispered,"Do you like dancing as much as ever?"
17500But I suppose there is no fire?"
17500But how can I open the door to her, when she dislikes me-- wishes to see not me, but her son?
17500But now what is to be done?"
17500But now, about our marriage--""And Versailles-- the King''s Gallery is some such gorgeous room, is it not?"
17500But perhaps you do not wish me to speak-- killing may be all you mean?"
17500But really, Thomasin, he is not quite--""Gentleman enough for me?
17500But the grave has for ever shut her in; and how shall it be found out now?"
17500But what is the use of it?
17500But what''s the use of talking of gorgeous rooms?
17500But why did n''t you let me know when the wedding was going to be-- the first time?"
17500But why have you come so unexpectedly to repeat the question, when you only promised to come next Saturday?
17500But will you be mine?"
17500But you must not-- will you, dear Clym?"
17500But you will not mind for one evening, dear?
17500But, after all, why should her going off with him to Anglebury for a few hours do her any harm?
17500Can I do anything for you?"
17500Can I ever forget it, or even agree to see her again?"
17500Can I help you now?"
17500Can there be beautiful bodies without hearts inside?
17500Can you tell me if she''s gone home from the party yet?"
17500Christian drew a deep breath without letting it expand his body, and Humphrey said,"Where has it been seen?"
17500Christian going too?"
17500Christian turned and flung himself on the ferns in a convulsion of remorse,"O, what shall I do with my wretched self?"
17500Cloud, the Bois, and many other familiar haunts of the Parisians; till she said--"When used you to go to these places?"
17500Clym can sing merrily; why should not I?"
17500Clym saw nothing of this, and added good- humouredly--"What shall we have to frighten Thomasin''s baby with, now you have become a human being again?"
17500Clym, you are not jealous?"
17500Come secretly with me to Bristol, marry me, and turn our backs upon this dog- hole of England for ever?
17500Could it be possible that she had put on her summer clothes to please him?
17500Could it be that she was to remain a captive still?
17500Dear Clym, you''ll go back again?"
17500Did not one grain of pity enter your heart as she turned away?
17500Do I really belong to them?
17500Do n''t you see that by the very fact of your choosing her you prove that you do not know what is best for you?
17500Do n''t you think it dreadfully humiliating?
17500Do n''t you think somebody might know your tongue, miss?"
17500Do not you yourself notice my countrified ways?"
17500Do ye really think it serious, Mister Fairway, that there was no moon?"
17500Do ye suppose they really be the devil''s playthings, Mr. Wildeve?
17500Do ye think any harm will come o''t?"
17500Do you always draw your breath like that?"
17500Do you ever dream of me?"
17500Do you expect it?"
17500Do you know what I be?"
17500Do you know, Humphrey?"
17500Do you mean to see me again?"
17500Do you mean to wait until my husband is awake?"
17500Do you refuse?"
17500Do you remember how, before we were married, I warned you that I had not good wifely qualities?"
17500Do you suppose a man''s mother could live two or three months without one forgiving thought?
17500Do you talk so coolly to her about me?
17500Do you tell me his name?"
17500Do you think I am an evil- disposed person?"
17500Do you think I should remember all about my mother''s death if I were out of my mind?
17500Do you think I will not listen to you?
17500Do you think he will object to it?"
17500Do you think so, Eustacia?
17500Do you want any assistance?
17500Do you want anything bought?
17500Do you want to escape the place altogether?
17500Do you want to go anywhere?
17500Does not that content you?"
17500Does your father come home at six too?"
17500Door kept shut, did you say?
17500Eleven o''clock struck: could it be that the wedding was then in progress?
17500Else why should they have chosen it?
17500Eustacia had not long been gone when there came a knock at the door of the bedroom; and Yeobright said,"Well?"
17500Eustacia has not yet come home?"
17500For whom could he neglect her if not for Eustacia?
17500Going to the raffle as well as ourselves?"
17500Good heart of God!--what does it mean?"
17500Had I nothing whatever to do with the matter?"
17500Half a crown?"
17500Has your husband written to you yet?"
17500Has your love for me all died, then, because my appearance is no longer that of a fine gentleman?"
17500Have I ever been acquainted with you in my youth?"
17500Have I not shown my power?"
17500Have a glass of grog?"
17500Have ye brought your cart far up, neighbour reddleman?"
17500Have you been ill?"
17500Have you got all your clothes ready?"
17500Have you indeed lost all tenderness for me, that you begrudge me a few cheerful moments?"
17500Have you never said a word on the matter?"
17500Have you seen a ooser?"
17500He added, with a faint twang of sarcasm,"What wonderful thing is it that I can not be trusted to take?"
17500He clasped his arms round her, lifted her a little, and said,"Does that hurt you?"
17500He had carefully withheld all promise to do so; but would he be proof against her coaxing and argument?
17500He recognized Venn as his companion on the highway, but made no remark on that circumstance, merely saying,"Ah, reddleman-- you here?
17500He said,"What, Diggory?
17500He stood quite still; then he burst out spasmodically,"I shall see her once more?"
17500He will, I suppose, return there with you, if his sight gets strong again?"
17500Hence, when his name was casually mentioned by neighbouring yeomen, the listener said,"Ah, Clym Yeobright: what is he doing now?"
17500How can he bear to grieve me so, when I have lived only for him through all these years?"
17500How can it be, Venn, that she should have told such different stories in close succession?"
17500How can she look her friends in the face tomorrow?
17500How can you want to do better than you''ve been doing?"
17500How could she allow herself to become so infatuated with a stranger?
17500How could such a gross falsehood have arisen?
17500How could there be any good in a woman that everybody spoke ill of?"
17500How could you leave me in that way, darling?"
17500How did you come here?
17500How did you know it?"
17500How do you know that Thomasin would accept him?"
17500How far is it now to the inn?"
17500How long has this new set- to been mangling then?
17500How long was I what they called out of my senses?"
17500How old be you, Christian?"
17500How''st know the women wo n''t hae thee?"
17500I am your wife, and why will you not listen?
17500I believe you have something to give to Thomasin?
17500I ca n''t help it, can I?"
17500I can not understand this visit-- what does she mean?
17500I fear I am something to blame for this?"
17500I had her there-- hey?"
17500I have altered for the better, have n''t I, hey?"
17500I have certainly got thistles for figs in a worldly sense, but how could I tell what time would bring forth?"
17500I suppose it is all locked up as I left it?"
17500I suppose you have heard what''s been happening to the beauty on the hill?"
17500I suppose you remember him?"
17500I think when I become calm after your woundings,''Do I embrace a cloud of common fog after all?''
17500I will only ask this: can I do anything for you?
17500I wonder if that letter is really his?"
17500I wonder what that could have meant?"
17500If I could n''t make a little wind go a long ways I should seem no younger than the most aged man, should I, Timothy?"
17500If I feel that the greatest blessings vouchsafed to us are not very valuable, how can I feel it to be any great hardship when they are taken away?
17500If you wished to connect yourself with an unworthy person why did you come home here to do it?
17500In ten minutes she returned with a parcel and a note, and said, in placing them in his hand,"Why are you so ready to take these for me?"
17500In the words of Job,''I have made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?''"
17500Is Eustacia there?"
17500Is he from home?"
17500Is it best for you to injure your prospects for such a voluptuous, idle woman as that?
17500Is it like cudgel- playing or other sportful forms of bloodshed?
17500Is it not very unwise in us to go on spending the little money we''ve got when I can keep down expenditure by an honest occupation?
17500Is it that you wo n''t come in because you wish to stand here, and think over the past hours of enjoyment?"
17500Is n''t it spoke like a man, Timothy, and was n''t Mis''ess Yeobright wrong about me?"
17500Is there any place like it on earth?"
17500Is there anything on the face of the earth that a man can do to make you happier than you are at present?
17500Is there anything you dislike in me that you act so contrarily to my wishes?
17500Is this your cherishing-- to put me into a hut like this, and keep me like the wife of a hind?
17500Is your van here too?"
17500It ca n''t be nothing to be afeared of, I suppose?"
17500It is to be considered an honour, I suppose?"
17500It is very well for you to come and plead for her, but is she not herself the cause of all her own trouble?
17500It seems that my wife is not very well?"
17500Keeping an inn-- what is it?
17500Kept shut, she looking out of window?
17500Lost your voice, have you?
17500Madam, what do you mean by that?"
17500Manager to a diamond merchant, or some such thing, is he not?"
17500Manager to that large diamond establishment-- what better can a man wish for?
17500May I ask how old he is, ma''am?"
17500Maybe you can call to mind that monument in Weatherbury church-- the cross- legged soldier that have had his arm knocked away by the school- children?
17500Mother, are you very ill-- you are not dying?"
17500Mother, what is doing well?"
17500Mrs. Yeobright moved her head in thoughtful assent, and presently said,"Do you wish me to give you away?
17500Mrs. Yeobright was far too thoughtful a woman to be content with ready definitions, and, like the"What is wisdom?"
17500Must I come to fetch you?"
17500Must I not have a voice in the matter, now I am your wife and the sharer of your doom?"
17500My dress is not silk, you see... Are we anywhere in a line between Mistover and the inn?"
17500My mind is lost-- it had to do with the mumming, had it not?"
17500My spirits must be wonderful good, you''ll say?
17500Neighbours, if Mrs. Yeobright were to die, d''ye think we should be took up and tried for the manslaughter of a woman?"
17500Nothing that ca n''t be got over, perhaps, after all?"
17500Now Damon, do you see why I lit my signal fire?
17500Now can you tell me if Rimsmoor Pond is dry this summer?"
17500Now, look at me as I kneel here, picking up these apples-- do I look like a lost woman?...
17500Now, what must I give you to agree to this?
17500Now, you''ll never be afraid of a reddleman again, will ye?"
17500O, Clym, what do you think will happen?
17500O, and what d''ye think I found out, Mrs. Yeobright?
17500O, where is Eustacia?"
17500On Egdon, coldest and meanest kisses were at famine prices; and where was a mouth matching hers to be found?
17500One of the neighbourhood?"
17500Or perhaps it is the pale morning light which takes your colour away?
17500Ought I to be afeared o''nights, Master Fairway?"
17500Ought I to mention it to him, aunt?"
17500People began to say"Who are they?"
17500Perhaps I have thrown six-- have you any matches?"
17500Perhaps she''s your wife?"
17500Perhaps you have heard-- about Mr. Wildeve''s fortune?"
17500Please, Master Reddleman, may I go home- along now?"
17500Seeing that Eustacia sat on in hesitation he added,"Perhaps you think it unwise to be seen in the same road with me after the events of last summer?"
17500Shall I claim you some day-- I do n''t mean at once?"
17500She continued, half in bitterness,"I may almost ask, why do you consult me in the matter at all?
17500She could hardly believe as much, but why did he not write?
17500She forgave me; and why should she not have forgiven you?"
17500She had no reason for walking elsewhere, and why should she not go that way?
17500She had not long been there when a man came up the road and with some hesitation said to her,"How is he tonight, ma''am, if you please?"
17500She interrupted with a suppressed fire of which either love or anger seemed an equally possible issue,"Do you love me now?"
17500Should I tell him or should I not tell him?
17500So near, are we?
17500So that what course save one was there now left for any son who reverenced his mother''s memory as Yeobright did?
17500Suppose Wildeve is really a bad fellow?"
17500Suppose, when they are engaged, and everything is smoothly arranged for their marriage, that you should step between them and renew your suit?
17500Supposing her to be as good a woman as any you can find, which she certainly is not, why do you wish to connect yourself with anybody at present?"
17500Tell me, now, where is he who was with you on the afternoon of the thirty- first of August?
17500The boy''s mother turned to Clym and said,"This is something you did n''t expect?"
17500The heth is n''t haunted, I know; but we''d better get home... Ah, what was that?"
17500The labourer pointed out the direction, and added,"Do you see that furze- cutter, ma''am, going up that footpath yond?"
17500The other traveller turned his eyes with interest towards the van window, and, without withdrawing them, said,"I presume I might look in upon her?"
17500The outdoor exercise will do me good, and who knows but that in a few months I shall be able to go on with my reading again?"
17500The youth shook his head"Five shillings?"
17500Then he looked, started ever so little, and said one word:"Well?"
17500Then she ceased to make any attempt, and said, weeping,"O Thomasin, do you think he hates me?
17500Then she replied,"Best?
17500Then this consideration recurred to chill her: What was the use of her exploit?
17500There are forty years of work in me yet, and why should you despair?
17500There was no longer any doubt that Eustacia had left the house at this midnight hour; and whither could she have gone?
17500They say,''This well- favoured lady coming-- what''s her name?
17500Thomasin here broke in, still weeping:"He said he was only going on a sudden short journey; but if so why did he want so much money?
17500Thomasin, how long are you going to stay at the inn, now that all this money has come to your husband?"
17500To oil your boots instead of blacking them, to dust your coat with a switch instead of a brush: was there ever anything more ridiculous?
17500Turning to Venn, she said,"Would you allow me to rest a few minutes in your van?
17500Twice she reappeared at intervals of a few minutes and each time she said--"Not any flounce into the pond yet, little man?"
17500Two months-- is it possible?
17500Under the bed?
17500Up the chimney?"
17500Venn?"
17500Venn?"
17500Was Yeobright''s mind well- proportioned?
17500Was it Wildeve?
17500Was it a serious injury you received in church, Miss Vye?"
17500Was it poor Thomasin''s husband?
17500Was it right to let her go?
17500Was it this that made her ill?"
17500Was mother much disturbed when she came to you, Thomasin?"
17500Was the man in the house with you Wildeve?"
17500Was there anything in the voice of Mrs. Yeobright''s son-- for Clym it was-- startling as a sound?
17500We had the party just the same-- was not that rather cruel to her?"
17500We mean to marry, I suppose, do n''t we?"
17500Well, and what did the last one say to ye?
17500Well, did she say what she was coming for?
17500Well, who would have thought that girl''s troubles would have ended so well?
17500Well?"
17500Were you too cruel?--or is she really so wicked as she seems?"
17500What COULD the tastes of that man be who saw friendliness and geniality in these shaggy hills?
17500What are you thinking of to make you look so abstracted?"
17500What besides?"
17500What came of it?--what cared you?
17500What can I do?"
17500What curious feeling was this coming over her?
17500What did my mother say besides?"
17500What did she say to him, my man?"
17500What did you next see?
17500What did you quarrel about so bitterly with her to drive her to all this?
17500What do you mean to do about this you have seen?"
17500What do you mean?
17500What do you mean?"
17500What do you really think of her?"
17500What do you think of me as a furze- cutter''s wife?"
17500What does he want bank- notes for, if he is only going off for a day?
17500What does it all mean?"
17500What dreadful thing can have brought you out on such a night as this?"
17500What dreadful thing is it?"
17500What harm can I do to you or to her?"
17500What has her life been?
17500What has she done?
17500What have you got to say to that, Humphrey?"
17500What if her interest in him were not so entirely that of a relative as it had formerly been?
17500What is it a sign of when your shade''s like a coffin, neighbours?
17500What is it?"
17500What is it?"
17500What is the matter?"
17500What is the trouble?"
17500What made you change from the nice business your father left you?"
17500What makes her want to see ye?
17500What o''clock is it, Eustacia?"
17500What possible chance is there for such as you?"
17500What shall I assist you in?"
17500What sin have I done that you should think so ill of me?
17500What then?
17500What was Thomasin''s answer when you told her of your feelings?"
17500What was Wildeve?
17500What was she doing there?"
17500What was the fellow''s name who was keeping you company and causing you to add cruelty to her to your wrong to me?
17500What was the great world to Mrs. Yeobright?
17500What''s the good of Thomasin''s cousin Clym a- coming home after the deed''s done?
17500What''s the moon to a man like me?
17500What''s the use of it, mother?"
17500What''s the use of my getting well?
17500What''s worse than the worst a wife can do?"
17500What-- is he anxious?"
17500When Wildeve returned, a quarter of an hour later, Thomasin said simply, and in the abashed manner usual with her now,"Where is the horse, Damon?"
17500When did she say so?"
17500When he returned from his fifth time of looking in the old man said,"You have something inside there besides your load?"
17500When it was blazing up he said,"Shall I wheel you round in front of it, ma''am, as the morning is chilly?"
17500When she came home I said-- we were then just beginning to walk together--''What have ye got, my honey?''
17500When the instinctive question about a person is, What is he doing?
17500When they were gone into the heath again Yeobright said quietly to his mother,"Do you think I have turned teacher too soon?"
17500When, a little later, Wildeve returned from his walk to Mistover, Thomasin said,"Damon, where have you been?
17500Where did her dignity come from?
17500Where does he put his letters-- when does he meet you?
17500Where is she staying now?
17500Where is she, I ask?"
17500Where should she live?
17500Where will you go to?"
17500Which of them, seeing us together here, will believe that our meeting and dancing at the gipsy- party was by chance?"
17500Which way are you walking, may I ask?"
17500Who can be worse than a wife who encourages a lover, and poisons her husband''s mind against his relative?
17500Who can forbid your indulgence in any whim?
17500Who can it be?
17500Who can say of a particular sea that it is old?
17500Who could have thought then that by this time my eyes would not seem so very bright to yours, nor your lips so very sweet to mine?
17500Who had done this?
17500Who lost it?
17500Who of any dignity would take the trouble to clear cobwebs from a wild man''s mind after such language as this?
17500Who was she that he danced with?
17500Who would have thought that all this could happen to me?"
17500Who''s sitting there?"
17500Who''s the man?"
17500Whose fault was it that her meaning was not made clear?"
17500Why did I do that?
17500Why did Miss Vye want a bonfire so bad that she should give you sixpence to keep it up?"
17500Why did a woman of this sort live on Egdon Heath?
17500Why did he stay so long without advancing and looking over?
17500Why did n''t you tell me today when you came?"
17500Why did not you kick him out, and let her in, and say I''ll be an honest wife and a noble woman from this hour?
17500Why did she cry out?"
17500Why did ye reveal yer misfortune, Christian?"
17500Why did you originally go away from me?
17500Why do n''t people judge me by my acts?
17500Why do n''t you burn, you little fools?
17500Why do n''t you speak?"
17500Why do you not leave me alone?
17500Why do you return so early?
17500Why do you wander so much in it yourself if you so dislike it?"
17500Why does n''t he look after her?
17500Why have you not come before?
17500Why is it that a woman can see from a distance what a man can not see close?
17500Why should there have been a bonfire again by Captain Vye''s house if not for the same purpose?"
17500Why should we stay here?
17500Wildeve frowned, afterwards saying, with a forced smile,"Well, what wonderful discovery did you make?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Wildeve?"
17500Will any good Heaven hae mercy upon my wicked soul?"
17500Will it drive me out of my mind?"
17500Will that suffice?"
17500Will you come back to me?
17500Will you go at once-- please will you?"
17500Will you go away from me?
17500Will you go with me to America?
17500Will you marry me?"
17500Will you not come and drag him out of my hands?"
17500Will you soon start again?"
17500Will you step forward and tell me?"
17500Will you, Damon?"
17500Will you, dear Cousin Clym, go and try to persuade him not to go?
17500Willy Orchard said he seed a red ghost here t''other day-- perhaps that was you?"
17500Would you mind my taking''em out and looking at''em for a minute, to see how they are made?
17500Would your grandfather allow you?"
17500Yeobright promised, and she continued:"What I want is your advice, for you are my relation-- I mean, a sort of guardian to me-- aren''t you, Clym?"
17500Yeobright''s?"
17500Yeobright?"
17500Yeobright?"
17500Yes, perhaps I am jealous; and who could be jealous with more reason than I, a half- blind man, over such a woman as you?"
17500Yet how could he think her capable of deliberately wishing to renew their assignations now?
17500Yet why, aunt, does everybody keep on making me think that I do, by the way they behave towards me?
17500You are young Venn-- your father was a dairyman somewhere here?"
17500You can not seriously wish me to stay idling at home all day?"
17500You like the fire, do n''t you, Johnny?"
17500You refuse to answer?"
17500You see all these bags at the back of my cart?
17500You talked with her a long time, I think?"
17500You went out with them, of course?"
17500You will not be afraid?"
17500You will take her to Paris, I suppose?"
17500You wo n''t carry me off in your bags, will ye, master?
17500You would like to see her too-- would you not, Diggory?
17500Your giving up Mr. Wildeve will be a real advantage to you, for how could you marry him?
17500and who can have done it but I?
17500can it be she?"
17500can you?
17500do n''t you know me?"
17500do you stand me out, mistress?
17500he murmured; and going to the kitchen door shouted,"Is anybody here who can take something to old Dowden?"
17500of Plato''s Socrates, and the"What is truth?"
17500said Wildeve, fixing his eyes upon her;"who told you that?"
17500she said,''I thought''twas you: will you help me?
17500tell me-- do you hear?"
17500what man?"
17500you have not put Mrs. Wildeve''s money there?"
17500you really mean to marry her?"
4264Above all she had n’t complained, not by the quaver of a syllable-- so what wound in particular had she shown her fear of receiving?
4264Afraid, I mean, for the others. ” “ For Mr. Verver and Maggie? ” It did take some following.
4264After this? ” “ After everything.
4264All she had to do, after all, was to be nice to you. ” “ To-- a-- ME? ” said Adam Verver.
4264And Charlotte returns to dinner? ” “ To dinner.
4264And I do n’t mean only before-- I mean after. ” “ After? ” said Fanny Assingham.
4264And it will be-- won’t it?
4264And my situation is such, ” she went on, “ that this becomes immediately, do n’t you understand?
4264And not to wait. ” “ Do you mean-- a-- this season? ” “ I mean immediately.
4264And of course you must stay”--Charlotte was easily clear--“as long as possible. ” “ Is that what you did? ” he laughed.
4264And then as she only gloomed: “ The Prince ’s? ” “ Maggie ’s own-- Maggie ’s very own, ” she pursued as for herself.
4264And then both of them together to Maggie. ” “ To Maggie? ” he wonderingly echoed.
4264And wait there for them, if necessary, till they come. ” “ Wait-- a-- at Fawns? ” “ Wait in Paris.
4264And whom has she, after all, ” Mrs. Assingham added, “ to complain to? ” “ Has n’t she always you? ” “ Oh, ‘ me ’!
4264And whom has she, after all, ” Mrs. Assingham added, “ to complain to? ” “ Has n’t she always you? ” “ Oh, ‘ me ’!
4264And why could n’t he have dignity when he had so much of the good conscience, as it were, on which such advantages rested?
4264And yet am I in the least sure he does n’t? ” “ If he does n’t then, so much the better.
4264Are n’t they, for that matter, intimately together now? ” “ ‘ Intimately’--?
4264Are n’t they, for that matter, intimately together now? ” “ ‘ Intimately’--?
4264Are they mere helpless victims of fate? ” Well, Fanny at last had the courage of it, “ Yes-- they are.
4264Believes they ’re innocent. ” “ She positively believes then they ’re guilty?
4264Besides, who but himself really knew what he, after all, had n’t, or even had, gained?
4264Besides, ” Fanny went on, “ you ’re too splendid. ” “ Splendid? ” “ Splendid.
4264But I wanted them to go. ” “ Then, my dear child, what in the world is the matter? ” “ I wanted to see if they WOULD.
4264But are you sure of having exhausted all other ways? ” This, of a truth, enlarged his gaze.
4264But by all you hold sacred? ” Mrs. Assingham faced her.
4264But do n’t you, my dear, really feel it? ” Maggie considered.
4264But does nothing depend on it for them? ” “ What CAN-- from the moment that, as appears, they do n’t want to nip us in the bud?
4264But does nothing depend on it for them? ” “ What CAN-- from the moment that, as appears, they do n’t want to nip us in the bud?
4264But he was in presence too of the fact that Maggie had made HER so; and always, therefore, without Maggie, where, in fine, would he be?
4264But his keeping away from me because of that-- what will that be but to speak?
4264But how do you make out, ” she asked, “ that you were keeping it FROM me? ” “ I don’t-- now.
4264But if she and Mr. Verver insisted upon it--? ” “ Why is it such a test?
4264But if she and Mr. Verver insisted upon it--? ” “ Why is it such a test?
4264But is n’t it, possibly, ” Charlotte asked, “ not quite enough to marry me for? ” “ Why so, my dear child?
4264But is n’t it, possibly, ” Charlotte asked, “ not quite enough to marry me for? ” “ Why so, my dear child?
4264But it wo n’t do? ” “ It wo n’t do, cara mia. ” “ It ’s impossible? ” “ It ’s impossible. ” And he took up one of the brooches.
4264But it wo n’t do? ” “ It wo n’t do, cara mia. ” “ It ’s impossible? ” “ It ’s impossible. ” And he took up one of the brooches.
4264But she had it to any amount. ” “ Did you ask her how much? ” Bob Assingham patiently inquired.
4264But the point for me is that he understands. ” “ Yes, ” Fanny Assingham cooed, “ understands--? ” “ Well, what I want.
4264But was n’t that the right way-- for sharing his last day of captivity with the man one adored?
4264But was n’t there still a piece missing?
4264But what I mean is that I might-- placed for it as we both are-- go to see HIM. ” “ And do you? ” Fanny asked with almost mistaken solemnity.
4264But what could he do but just let her see that he would make anything, everything, for her, as honourably easy as possible?
4264But what did you take? ” He looked at her; first as if he were trying to remember, then as if he might have been trying to forget.
4264But what else can she do? ” “ Why, whatever people do when they do n’t trust.
4264But when one MUST do it-- ” “ Yes? ” he asked as she paused.
4264But why not after? ” She had looked at him a minute; then, at the sound of a voice in the corridor, they had got up.
4264But why should I be amused? ” “ Well, I mean I am myself.
4264But will you do, ” he asked, “ still one thing more for me? ” It was as if, for an instant, with her new exposure, it had made her turn pale.
4264But you mean, ” she asked, “ that she understands YOU? ” “ It presents small difficulty! ” “ Are you so sure? ” Maggie went on.
4264But you mean, ” she asked, “ that she understands YOU? ” “ It presents small difficulty! ” “ Are you so sure? ” Maggie went on.
4264By his not ‘ really ’ caring? ” She recalled, after a little, benevolently enough.
4264Ca n’t you be quiet on THAT? ” She thought a moment-- then seemed to try.
4264Can I, for myself, undertake it?
4264Charlotte and I? ” Maggie again hesitated.
4264Charlotte is naturally in Mr. Verver ’s boat. ” “ And, pray, am_ I_ not in Mr. Verver ’s boat too?
4264Did n’t you see”--she was to ask it with an insistence--“the way he looked at us and took us in?
4264Did you think me, ” she asked with some earnestness--“well, fatuous? ” “ ‘ Fatuous’?”--he seemed at a loss.
4264Do I need?
4264Do n’t you see what I mean? ” the Princess asked.
4264Do n’t you see, ” she asked, “ how I ’m ready? ” He had taken it in, but there was always more and more of her.
4264Do you know that if we should ship, it would serve you quite right? ” With which he smiled-- oh he smiled!
4264Do you realise, father, that I ’ve never had the least blow? ” He gave her a long, quiet look.
4264Do you suppose I asked them, ” said the young man, still amused, “ if they did n’t want to see her?
4264Do you suppose I ’ve asked him for an assurance? ” “ Ah, you have n’t? ” Her companion smiled.
4264Do you suppose I ’ve asked him for an assurance? ” “ Ah, you have n’t? ” Her companion smiled.
4264Do you want them to separate?
4264Does n’t SHE know--? ” “ That we see before our noses? ” Yes, this indeed took longer.
4264Does n’t SHE know--? ” “ That we see before our noses? ” Yes, this indeed took longer.
4264Enough for what? ” “ Enough not to be selfish. ” “ I do n’t think YOU are selfish, ” she had returned-- and had managed not to wail it.
4264Everyone had brought gifts; his relations had brought wonders-- how did they still have, where did they still find, such treasures?
4264Find out the rest--! ” “ Find it out--? ” He waited.
4264For such wounds and shames are dreadful: at least, ” she added, catching herself up, “ I suppose they are; for what, as I say, do I know of them?
4264For what do you take us?
4264For what reason? ” And then, as his wife at first said nothing: “ Did she give any sign?
4264For what reason? ” And then, as his wife at first said nothing: “ Did she give any sign?
4264For what, really, did the Prince do, ” she asked herself, “ but generously trust her?
4264For whom else? ” And he was to feel indeed how she wished him to understand it.
4264For whom else? ” They looked at each other hard now, but Maggie ’s face took refuge in the intensity of her interest.
4264From the alarm, I mean, of what Maggie MAY think. ” “ Yet if your whole idea is that Maggie thinks nothing--? ” She waited again.
4264Great in life. ” “ So? ” Mr. Verver echoed.
4264Have you any message? ” The girl seemed to wonder a little.
4264Have you any?--do you see what I mean?
4264Have you ever thought of me, ” she asked, “ as really feeling as I do? ” Her companion, conspicuously, required to be clear.
4264He did n’t undertake it to break down; in what-- quiet, patient, exquisite as he is-- did he ever break down?
4264He felt too ill to come? ” “ No, my dear-- I think not.
4264He knows what YOU know?
4264He may never again, ” said the Princess, “ come into this room. ” Fanny more deeply wondered, “ Never again?
4264He seems to me simply the best man I ’ve ever seen in my life. ” “ Well, my dear, why should n’t he be? ” the girl had gaily inquired.
4264He was allying himself to science, for what was science but the absence of prejudice backed by the presence of money?
4264His freedom to see-- of which the comparisons were part-- what could it do but steadily grow and grow?
4264How can I tell?
4264How can she not have asked him-- asked him on his honour, I mean-- if you know? ” “ How can she ‘ not ’?
4264How can she not have asked him-- asked him on his honour, I mean-- if you know? ” “ How can she ‘ not ’?
4264How can she not have ‘ success ’?
4264How can we not always think of her?
4264How could I adore her more if I were married to one of the people you speak of? ” The Prince gave a laugh.
4264How could n’t you like Amerigo? ” Maggie continued.
4264How do I know?
4264How do I know? ” But Fanny kept it up.
4264How long had she stood staring?--a single minute or five?
4264How will it do, how will it do? ” “ It will do, I daresay, without your wringing your hands over it.
4264How, so looking, can she pass unnoticed?
4264How, when you do, can I stand up to you?
4264However, if she HAD been worse, poor woman, who should say that her husband would, to a certainty, have been better?
4264I CAN, I believe, keep the wretches quiet. ” “ But how-- at the worst? ” “ Oh, ‘ the worst’--don’t talk about the worst!
4264I do n’t know, I admit, what_ I_ should do if I were lonely and sore-- for what sorrow, to speak of, have I ever had in my life?
4264I doubt if you CAN. ” “ And why not, please-- when I ’ve had you so before me?
4264I get off by giving him up. ” “ But if he gives you? ” Mrs. Assingham presumed to object.
4264I got it, you see, for less. ” “ For how much then? ” Again he waited, always with his serene stare.
4264I know how it feels. ” After which, as if breaking off, “ And you, have you never been out? ” she asked.
4264I mean for me to break in. ” “ ‘ To break in’--? ” “ Between your father and his wife.
4264I mean not to the people they want. ” “ Then what do you call the people with whom they ’re now having tea? ” It made her quite spring round.
4264I mean your future does?
4264I ’ve got to be a regular martyr before you ’ll be inspired? ” She demurred at his way of putting it.
4264If I did--! ” “ Well, if you did? ” Fanny asked as she faltered.
4264If I ’m jealous, do n’t you see?
4264If he had been too ill I would n’t have left him. ” “ And yet Maggie was worried? ” Mrs. Assingham asked.
4264If persons under his roof had n’t a right not to go to church, what became, for a fair mind, of his own right?
4264If she SHOULD try--! ” “ Well--? ” Mrs. Assingham urged.
4264If she ’s charming, how can she help it?
4264If you have n’t by this time found out yourself, what meaning can anything I say have for you?
4264In another moment even it seemed positively what he wanted; for what so much as publicity put their relation on the right footing?
4264Is it anything for which I ’m in any degree responsible? ” Maggie summoned all her powers.
4264Is n’t it always a misfortune to be-- when you ’re so fine-- so wasted?
4264Is n’t our situation worth the little sacrifice?
4264Is that it? ” But Maggie for a minute only stared back at her.
4264Is there any wrong you consider I ’ve done you?
4264It WILL come up. ” “ You do n’t think I can keep it down? ” Mr. Verver ’s tone was cheerfully pensive.
4264It fits him-- so it must be good for something. ” “ Do you think it would be good for you? ” Maggie Verver had smilingly asked.
4264It had come to her as a question--“What if I ’ve abandoned THEM, you know?
4264It has spoiled, so to speak, on their hands. ” “ It has soured, eh? ” the Colonel said.
4264It is n’t of an assurance received from him then that you do speak? ” At which Maggie had continued to stare.
4264It is n’t your fault, after all, is it?
4264It really struck you that there IS something? ” The movement itself, apparently, made him once more stand off.
4264It takes Anglo- Saxon blood. ” “ ‘ Blood ’? ” he echoed.
4264It was as if what she had come out to do had already begun, and when, as a consequence, Maggie had said helplessly, “ Do n’t you want something?
4264It will be all right if she marries. ” “ So we ’re to marry her? ” “ We ’re to marry her.
4264It ’s for us, on our side, to see HER through. ” “ Through her sublimity? ” “ Through her noble, lonely life.
4264It ’s perfectly true that she thinks Maggie a dear-- as who does n’t?
4264It ’s why I ’ve believed you would meet me half way. ” “ Half way to what?
4264It’s-- well, it ’s the condition. ” “ The condition--? ” He was just vague.
4264Just so what is morality but high intelligence? ” This he was unable to tell her; which left her more definitely to conclude.
4264Leave him alone. ” “ Do you mean give him up? ” “ Leave HER, ” Fanny Assingham went on.
4264Literally on the town-- isn’t that what they call it?
4264Mr. Verver believes in our intelligence-- but he does n’t matter. ” “ And Maggie?
4264No doubt even she was rather impatient. ” “ OF the poor things? ” Mr. Verver had here inquired while he waited.
4264No? ” he said, coming nearer.
4264Not at all as she can, in a way, here. ” “ In the way, you mean, of living with US? ” “ Of living with anyone.
4264Nothing-- from him-- HAS come. ” “ You ’re so awfully sure? ” “ Sure.
4264Now that that ’s done, and that they ’ve all gone, she of course knows for herself--! ” “ ‘ Knows ’? ” the Prince vaguely echoed.
4264Of Mr. Verver ’s and Maggie ’s selves? ” Mrs. Assingham remained patient as well as lucid.
4264Of course they were arranged-- all four arranged; but what had the basis of their life been, precisely, but that they were arranged together?
4264Oh really? ” The Prince expressed clear surprise-- a transparency through which his eyes met his friend ’s with a certain hardness of concussion.
4264Oh then, if she was n’t with her little conscious passion, the child of any weakness, what was she but strong enough too?
4264Oh, if he HAD been angular!--who could say what might THEN have happened?
4264On what did that sentiment, unsolicited and unrecompensed, rest?
4264On what occasion, ever, had she appeared to find him wanting?
4264Only how was the decision to be applied?--what, in particular, would the figure in the picture do?
4264Or did n’t, for that matter, poor Charlotte herself? ” She kept her eyes on him; there was a manner in it that half answered.
4264Ought n’t we, ” she asked, “ to think a little of others?
4264Really so little. ” “ Five pounds? ” He continued to look at her.
4264Rest on it. ” “ On his ignorance? ” Fanny met it again.
4264SHE thinks, dear Fanny, that we ought to be greater. ” “ Greater--? ” He echoed it vaguely.
4264She can come up. ” “ CAN she? ” Fanny Assingham questioned.
4264She drove me home. ” “ Home here? ” “ First to Portland Place-- on her leaving her father: since she does, once in a while, leave him.
4264She groaned to herself, while the vain imagination lasted, “ WHY did he marry?
4264She had begun, a year ago, by asking herself how she could make him think more of her; but what was it, after all, he was thinking now?
4264She had challenged them as soon as read them, had met them with a “ Do you want then to go and tell her? ” that had somehow made them ridiculous.
4264She had not then read it-- but was n’t she reading it when she now saw in it his surmise that she was perhaps to be squared?
4264She has gained me time; and that, these three months, do n’t you see?
4264She has just been here. ” “ Miss Stant?
4264She has solemnly promised. ” “ But in words--? ” “ Oh yes, in words enough-- since it ’s a matter of words.
4264She kept off, she stayed away, she left him free; and what, moreover, were her silences to Maggie but a direct aid to him?
4264She likes, that is-- as all pleasant people do-- to be liked. ” “ Ah, she likes to be liked? ” her companion had gone on.
4264She may think, ” said Maggie, “ what she likes. ” “ Think it without my protest--? ” The Princess made a movement.
4264She ought to have understood you better. ” “ Better than you did? ” “ Yes, ” he gravely maintained, “ better than I did.
4264She thinks it MAY be, her doom, the awful place over there-- awful for HER; but she ’s afraid to ask, do n’t you see?
4264She was saying to herself in secret: “ CAN we again, in this form, migrate there?
4264She would now particularly like to. ” “ Has she told you so? ” “ Not yet.
4264She ’ll have to save HIM. ” “ To ‘ save ’ him--? ” “ To keep her father from her own knowledge.
4264So they remained a little; after which, “ But do you believe it, love? ” Fanny inquired.
4264TAKE that. ” “ Take it--? ” Maggie stared.
4264THEIR forms. ” “ ‘ Theirs’--? ” “ Maggie ’s and Mr. Verver’s-- those they IMPOSE on Charlotte and the Prince.
4264That was his business. ” “ My father ’s? ” Maggie asked after an hesitation.
4264That was intended, I think, was n’t it?
4264That was really what we meant, was n’t it?
4264That was their little romance-- it was even their little tragedy. ” “ But what the deuce did they DO? ” “ Do?
4264That was their little romance-- it was even their little tragedy. ” “ But what the deuce did they DO? ” “ Do?
4264That was what she had-- as HE had-- the reason to see. ” “ And their reason is what you call their romance? ” She looked at him a moment.
4264That you believe there ’s nothing I ’m afraid of?
4264That ’s another. ” “ You feel, in other words, that she lies to you? ” Bob Assingham more sociably asked.
4264That ’s just what makes everything so nice for us. ” “ Everything? ” He had wondered.
4264That, I think, ” she added, “ is the way I ’ve best known. ” “ Known? ” he repeated after a moment.
4264The only thing is that I have to act as it demands of me. ” “ To ‘ act ’? ” said Mrs. Assingham with an irrepressible quaver.
4264Their situation”--this was what he did n’t see--“is too extraordinary. ” “ ‘ Too ’? ” He was willing to try.
4264Then what more do you want? ” “ Ah, what you see! ” said Maggie.
4264Then when this had come to an end: “ And do you believe in Charlotte yet? ” Mrs. Assingham had a demur that she felt she could now afford.
4264Then you want US to-- you and me?
4264Then, darling, what HAVE you--? ” “ Asked him for?
4264Then, darling, what HAVE you--? ” “ Asked him for?
4264There are always possibilities. ” “ Then, if we can but strike so wild, why keep meddling? ” It made her again look at him.
4264There was much indeed in the tone in which Adam Verver spoke again, and who shall say where his thought stopped?
4264There ’s nothing to prevent. ” “ Is it a strict moral obligation? ” Adam Verver inquired.
4264There ’s nothing. ” “ Nothing--? ” It was like giving her his hand up the bank.
4264Therefore if there ’s evidence, up and down London-- ” “ There must be people in possession of it?
4264Therefore, ” she demanded-- but smiling at him now--“where ’s the logic? ” “ Oh, the logic--! ” he laughed.
4264They make it credible. ” “ Credible then-- you do say-- to YOU? ” She looked at him again for an interval.
4264They were of the colour-- of what on earth?
4264They ’ll manage. ” “ They ’ll manage, you mean, to do everything they want?
4264Though even I--! ” “ Well, even you? ” Maggie pressed as he paused.
4264To keep up HER lie so long as I keep up mine. ” “ And what do you call ‘ her ’ lie? ” “ Why, the pretence that she believes me.
4264To whom have the Prince and Charlotte then been too charming? ” “ To each other, in the first place-- obviously.
4264To- day, however, ” Mrs. Assingham added, “ to- day in Eaton Square I did see. ” “ Well then, what? ” But she mused over it still.
4264Under my clothes? ” “ Wherever you like.
4264Variety of imagination-- what is that but fatal, in the world of affairs, unless so disciplined as not to be distinguished from monotony?
4264Very well, then: with the elements after all so mixed in him, how long would he go on enjoying mere spectatorship of that act?
4264WHY, you dear delightful woman, did you like it? ” “ I scarce know what to make, ” she said, “ of such an inquiry.
4264Was n’t her father meanwhile only pretending to talk of it?
4264Was n’t it a sign of something rather portentous, their being ready to be beholden, as for a diversion, to the once despised Kitty and Dotty?
4264Was n’t this consensus literally their only way not to be ungracious?
4264We HAVE worked it, and what more can you do than that?
4264We can be anything. ” “ Absolute idiots then? ” “ Absolute idiots.
4264We must manage not to sink. ” “ You do believe I ’m not a hypocrite?
4264We ’re all nice together-- as why should n’t we be?
4264What IS my share? ” “ Why, any you like-- the one you seemed just now eager to take.
4264What did he do but take it from her that if she felt herself willing it was because she felt herself strong?
4264What did she pretend was going to happen, and what, at the worst, could the poor girl do, even granting she wanted to do anything?
4264What did you get me-- since that was your aim and end-- for a wedding- gift? ” The Prince continued very nobly to bethink himself.
4264What do you believe, what do you KNOW? ” Oh, if she went by faces her visitor ’s sudden whiteness, at this, might have carried her far!
4264What do you make of all that I ’ve done for myself? ” “ ‘ Yourself’?-- ” She brightened out with derision.
4264What do you make of it that the Prince did n’t tell her anything?
4264What do you make, ” he went on, “ of what I ’ve done for my reputation? ” “ Your reputation THERE?
4264What do you make, ” he went on, “ of what I ’ve done for my reputation? ” “ Your reputation THERE?
4264What does it show but that you ’re truly susceptible? ” “ Well, it may show that”--he defended himself against nothing.
4264What does that show, after all, ” she asked, “ but that you do really, well within, feel a want?
4264What else had she herself meant three minutes before by speaking of her as great?
4264What else have we been talking about?
4264What had she done, that last evening in Maggie ’s room, but bring the husband and wife more together than, as would seem, they had ever been?
4264What has opened her eyes? ” “ They were never really shut.
4264What he had just said was a direct plea for that, and what was the plea itself but an act of submission to Charlotte?
4264What idea in fact could he have?
4264What indeed had she come home for but to bury, as decently as possible, her mistake?
4264What is it that has happened for me? ” His hostess, the next moment, had drawn spirit from his tone.
4264What more COULD it be? ” “ It could be that she ’s unhappy, and that she takes her funny little way of consoling herself.
4264What more does the position admit of?
4264What more need Fanny Assingham want? ” “ Ah, my dear, ” said Charlotte, “ it ’s not I who say that she need want anything.
4264What retarded evolution, she asked herself in these hours, might n’t poor Charlotte all unwittingly have precipitated?
4264What was his frank judgment of so much of its ugliness, he asked himself, but a part of the cultivation of humility?
4264What was it else, ” Maggie Verver had also said, “ that made me originally think of you?
4264What was it, in the name of wonder, that she was so bent on being responsible FOR?
4264What would therefore be more open to him than to keep her in love with him?
4264What would this mean but that, practically, he was never to be tried or tested?
4264What wound HAD she received-- as to which she had exchanged the least word with them?
4264What, at the worst, for that matter, could she be conceived to have in her head?
4264What, inconceivably, was it like?
4264What, naturally, in the way of the priceless, has n’t she got?
4264When, in their common past, when till this moment, had she shown a fear, however dumbly, for his individual life?
4264Who but a billionaire could say what was fair exchange for a billion?
4264Who could say to what making- up might lead, into what consenting or pretending or destroying blindness it might plunge her?
4264Who could tell, as yet, what, thanks to it, they would n’t have done before the end?
4264Who was there, for that matter, to raise one, from the moment Mrs. Assingham, informed and apparently not disapproving, did n’t intervene?
4264Who would have thought it, and where would it all stop?
4264Why SHOULD she, of a sudden, at this particular moment, desire to ship you off together and to remain here alone with me?
4264Why in the world should n’t she, with every right-- if, on consideration, she saw no good reason against it?
4264Why not take them, when they occur, as inevitable-- and, above all, as not endangering life or limb?
4264Why otherwise, with such an opportunity, had n’t he demanded it?
4264Why so breathless a start? ” “ Because they want to congratulate us.
4264Why this precautionary view, she asked herself afresh, when her father had complained, at the very least, as little as herself?
4264Why too, for that matter, had he need of defences, material or other?--how was it a question of dangers really to be called such?
4264Why, into the bargain, for that matter-- this came to Maggie-- couldn’t they always live, so far as they lived together, in a boat?
4264Why, of course, ” said the Princess limpidly, “ she MUST! ” “ Well then--? ” “ Well then, you think, he must have told her?
4264Why, of course, ” said the Princess limpidly, “ she MUST! ” “ Well then--? ” “ Well then, you think, he must have told her?
4264Will he go at Whitsuntide, and will he then stay on? ” Maggie went through the form of thought.
4264With their stillness together so perfect, what had suggested so, around them, the attitude of sparing them?
4264Wo n’t he see it then? ” On which Maggie gave her, after an instant ’s visible thought, the strangest of slow headshakes.
4264Would she have led him altogether, attached as he was to her, into the wilderness of mere mistakes?
4264Would she throw herself into his arms, or would she be otherwise wonderful?
4264Would that break the spell, his saying he had no idea?
4264Yet what was he but certain?
4264You can ask me anything under the sun you like, because, do n’t you see?
4264You can make her, ” he said, “ positively happy about me. ” “ About you? ” she thoughtfully echoed.
4264You can see for yourself. ” “ Have you seen for YOUR self? ” She faltered but an instant.
4264You did n’t see, all the while? ” She only continued, however, to stare.
4264You have n’t been broken with, because in your RELATION what can there have been, worth speaking of, to break?
4264You mean you ’ve thought--? ” “ I mean, my dear, that I ’ve seen.
4264You recognise that I do n’t lie or dissemble or deceive?
4264You speak of our being ‘ frank. ’ How can we possibly be anything else?
4264You would have spoken to- morrow? ” “ I think I would have waited. ” “ And for what? ” he asked.
4264You would have spoken to- morrow? ” “ I think I would have waited. ” “ And for what? ” he asked.
4264You ’ve only to speak to your man about yours, and they can go together. ” “ You mean we can leave at once? ” She let him have it all.
4264and my making it easy for you to see the child?
4264has been everything. ” She had said “ Do n’t you see? ” on purpose, and was to feel the next moment that it had acted.
4264just as she was, in a manner, pretending to listen?
4264of what but the extraordinary American good faith?
4264quite enough for our breakfast?
4264to go by. ” “ You ’ve been thinking for months and months? ” Mrs. Assingham took it in.
4264what good, again-- for it was much like his question about Mr. Verver-- should he ever have done her?
4264why in the world?
4264wo n’t you have my shawl? ” everything might have crumbled away in the comparative poverty of the tribute.
4264‘ Let us then be up and doing’--what is it Longfellow says?
4264“ A crack?
4264“ A torment--? ” “ A torment, ” said Maggie with tears in her eyes.
4264“ About the way-- yes. ” “ Well then--? ” She spoke as for the end and for other matters-- for anything, everything, else there might be.
4264“ Above all, ” she said, “ there has been the personal romance of it. ” “ Of tea with me over the fire?
4264“ Afraid of what? ” “ Afraid of themselves. ” The Colonel wondered.
4264“ Ah, but does Charlotte let HIM? ” “ Oh, that ’s another affair-- with which I ’ve practically nothing to do.
4264“ Ah, but, you know, that ’s rather jolly! ” “ Jolly’--? ” she turned upon it, again, at the foot of the staircase.
4264“ Am I in the least sure that, with everything, he even knows what it is?
4264“ Amerigo--? ” After which, however, she blushed-- to her companion ’s recognition.
4264“ An incredible little idealist-- Charlotte herself? ” “ And she was sincere, ” his wife simply proceeded “ she was unmistakably sincere.
4264“ And Amerigo too, you say? ” “ Ah yes”--her reply was prompt “ but Amerigo does n’t mind.
4264“ And have you made out the very train--? ” “ The very one.
4264“ And is it also what you mean by Charlotte ’s being ‘ great ’? ” “ Well, ” said Maggie, “ it ’s one of her ways.
4264“ And is it for that you did it?
4264“ And that ’s the way YOU love? ” For a minute she failed to speak, but at last she answered: “ It was n’t to talk about that.
4264“ And what does the Prince work like? ” She fixed him in return.
4264“ And what reason is there, in the world, after all, why he and I should n’t, as you say, show together?
4264“ And what reason shall I give-- give, I mean, your father? ” “ For asking him to go off?
4264“ And what reason shall I give-- give, I mean, your father? ” “ For asking him to go off?
4264“ And what then has HE done? ” Maggie took again a minute.
4264“ And what then is the name? ” “ ‘ The reduction to its simplest expression of what we ARE doing’--that ’s what he called it.
4264“ And what would it be-- a-- definitely that you understand by that? ” She had only for an instant not found it easy to say.
4264“ And what, pray, WAS the price? ” She paused again a little.
4264“ And why, ” he asked, almost soothingly, “ should it be terrible? ” He could n’t, at the worst, see that.
4264“ And will she stay very long? ” His friend gave a laugh.
4264“ And you call ME immoral? ” She hesitated.
4264“ And you have it from him?--your husband himself has told you? ” “ ‘ Told ’ me--? ” “ Why, what you speak of.
4264“ And you have it from him?--your husband himself has told you? ” “ ‘ Told ’ me--? ” “ Why, what you speak of.
4264“ And your point is that they ’re not doing so? ” “ I ’ve left them, ” she went on, “ but now I see how and where.
4264“ Any one--? ” “ Any one, I mean, but Fanny Assingham. ” “ I should have supposed you had had by this time particular means of learning.
4264“ Are n’t you and your husband-- in spite of everything? ” Maggie ’s eyes still further, if possible, dilated.
4264“ Are you speaking now of something to which you can comfortably settle down? ” Again, for a little, she only glowered at him.
4264“ Are you trying to frighten me? ” “ Ah, that ’s a foolish view-- I should be too vulgar.
4264“ Are you very sure? ” she had presently asked.
4264“ As to whom then do you confess it? ” “ Ah, mio caro, that’s-- if to anyone-- my own business! ” He continued to look at her hard.
4264“ Because Fanny Assingham thought so? ” “ Oh no; she never thought, she could n’t think, if she would, anything of that sort.
4264“ Because not to--! ” “ Well, not to--? ” “ Would make me have to speak of him.
4264“ Because now they know. ” “ They ‘ know ’? ” Fanny Assingham quavered.
4264“ Because she ’s so great. ” “ Great--? ” “ Great in nature, in character, in spirit.
4264“ Because she ’s so handsome? ” “ No, father. ” And the Princess was almost solemn.
4264“ Because you think I must have so little?
4264“ But I do n’t make out, you see, what case against me you rest-- ” “ On everything I ’m telling you?
4264“ But WHAT then, dear Maggie, have you been thinking? ” “ Well, horrible things-- like a little beast that I perhaps am.
4264“ But did you ever like knocking about in such discomfort? ” “ It seems to me now that I then liked everything.
4264“ But does n’t it rather depend on what she may most feel to BE the right way? ” “ No-- it depends on nothing.
4264“ But enough for what then, dear-- if not enough to break her heart? ” “ Enough to give her a shaking! ” Mrs. Assingham rather oddly replied.
4264“ But for what purpose is it your idea that they should again so intimately meet? ” “ For any purpose they like.
4264“ But has she told you nothing? ” “ Ah, thank goodness, no! ” He stared.
4264“ But he did n’t explain--? ” “ Explain?
4264“ But he did n’t explain--? ” “ Explain?
4264“ But how can we be more--? ” “ For them?
4264“ But how can we be more--? ” “ For them?
4264“ But if he neither denies nor confesses--? ” “ He does what ’s a thousand times better-- he lets it alone.
4264“ But it isn’t-- is it? ” he asked--“as if they were leaving each other? ” “ Oh no; it is n’t as if they were leaving each other.
4264“ But it isn’t-- is it? ” he asked--“as if they were leaving each other? ” “ Oh no; it is n’t as if they were leaving each other.
4264“ But sha n’t you then so much as miss her a little?
4264“ But the Prince then--? ” “ How is HE held? ” Maggie asked.
4264“ But the Prince then--? ” “ How is HE held? ” Maggie asked.
4264“ But what can I make her about herself? ” “ Oh, if she ’s at ease about me the rest will take care of itself.
4264“ But what else can you do? ” “ I take it from him, ” the Princess repeated.
4264“ But what has that to do--? ” “ It has everything.
4264“ But what then has happened, from one day to the other, to HER?
4264“ But when you come home--?
4264“ But where does the connection come in? ” His wife was prompt.
4264“ But wo n’t they know we ’re not? ” She barely hesitated.
4264“ CAN’T she? ” Maggie returned.
4264“ Ca n’t a man be, all his life then, ” he almost fiercely asked, “ anything but a father? ” But he went on before she could answer.
4264“ Ca n’t she be stopped?
4264“ Comes to our not being able to help her? ” “ That ’s the way we SHALL help her. ” “ By looking like fools? ” She threw up her hands.
4264“ Comes to our not being able to help her? ” “ That ’s the way we SHALL help her. ” “ By looking like fools? ” She threw up her hands.
4264“ Consoled? ” “ Forsaken. ” “ No-- I have n’t.
4264“ Conspiring-- so far as YOU were concerned-- to what end? ” “ Why, to the obvious end of getting the Prince a wife-- at Maggie ’s expense.
4264“ Cosa volete? ” The effect, beautifully, nobly, was more than Roman.
4264“ Do YOU like it? ” He came no nearer; he looked at their companion.
4264“ Do n’t believe in it?
4264“ Do n’t you appear rather to put it to me that I may accept your offer for Maggie ’s sake?
4264“ Do n’t you really want us to go--? ” Maggie found a faint smile.
4264“ Do n’t you think he ’s charming? ” “ Oh, charming, ” said Charlotte Stant.
4264“ Do n’t you think then I can take care of myself? ” “ Ah, it ’s exactly what I ’ve gone upon.
4264“ Do n’t you think too much of ‘ cracks, ’ and are n’t you too afraid of them?
4264“ Do n’t you want to read it? ” He thought.
4264“ Do you begin, a little, to be satisfied? ” Still, however, she had to think.
4264“ Do you feel Mrs. Rance to be charming? ” “ Well, I feel her to be formidable.
4264“ Do you know what I ’m really thinking of? ” she asked.
4264“ Do you like it then? ” Charlotte turned to her friend.
4264“ Do you mean I’M your difficulty? ” “ You and he together-- since it ’s always with you that I ’ve had to see him.
4264“ Do you mean because you ’re going? ” “ Oh yes, of course we ’re going.
4264“ Do you mean grave for me? ” “ Oh, that everything ’s grave for ‘ you ’ is what we take for granted and are fundamentally talking about.
4264“ Do you mean if you give in? ” “ Oh no.
4264“ Do you mean leave him to HER?
4264“ Do you mean she ’ll ASK it of me? ” It gave him indeed, as by communication, a sense of the propriety of being himself certain.
4264“ Do you mean they ’ve TOLD you--? ” “ No-- I mean nothing so absurd.
4264“ Do you mean write it to her? ” “ Quite so.
4264“ Do you mean write to her myself? ” “ Yes-- it would be kind.
4264“ Do you mean, ” he presently asked, “ that he had already forgot about Charlotte? ” She faced round as if he had touched a spring.
4264“ Do you propose it seriously-- without wishing to play me a trick? ” She wondered.
4264“ Do you really want to--? ” It made her friend colour.
4264“ Do you remember how, this morning, when you told me of this event, I asked you if there were anything particular you wished me to do?
4264“ Do you see? ” “ I see, ” said Maggie at last.
4264“ Do you speak from a suspicion of your own? ” “ I speak, at last, from a torment.
4264“ Do you think Maggie so blind? ” “ The question is n’t of what I think.
4264“ Do you think he does? ” “ Know at least something?
4264“ Do you think he does? ” “ Know at least something?
4264“ Do you think you could get it out of her for me-- the probable length of her stay? ” He rose bravely enough to the occasion and the challenge.
4264“ Do you think you could? ” “ I? ” he wondered.
4264“ Do you think you could? ” “ I? ” he wondered.
4264“ Does crystal then break-- when it IS crystal?
4264“ Does it take so much time? ” She herself, however, remained serious.
4264“ Does one ever put into words anything so fatuously rash?
4264“ Doubt what? ” Fanny pressed as she waited.
4264“ Easily? ” “ She can utterly dishonour me with her father.
4264“ Est- elle toujours aussi belle? ” That was the furthest point, somehow, to which Charlotte Stant could be relegated.
4264“ Even if I were to scrape off the gold? ” He showed, though with due respect, that she amused him.
4264“ For Mr. Verver? ” “ For Maggie-- about her seeing you early.
4264“ For so long?
4264“ For the truth as from him to her? ” “ From him to any one. ” Mrs. Assingham ’s face lighted.
4264“ For your marriage? ” “ For my marriage.
4264“ For ‘ us’--? ” “ For me and Charlotte.
4264“ From the moment you and your father backed out? ” “ Oh, I do n’t mean go for those people; I mean go for us.
4264“ Gold, really gold? ” she asked of their companion.
4264“ Had n’t we better wait a while till we call it a catastrophe? ” Her rejoinder to this was to wait-- though by no means as long as he meant.
4264“ Has Charlotte complained of the want of rooms for her friends? ” “ Never, that I know of, a word.
4264“ Has Miss Stant now gone to her? ” “ She has gone back to her hotel, to bring her things here.
4264“ Has it been his motive in letting me have you? ” “ Yes, my dear, positively-- or in a manner, ” she had said.
4264“ Has n’t she the Prince then? ” “ For such matters?
4264“ Has n’t she the Prince then? ” “ For such matters?
4264“ Has n’t she then, Charlotte, always her husband--? ” “ To complain to?
4264“ Has n’t she then, Charlotte, always her husband--? ” “ To complain to?
4264“ Has she told you she likes me much? ” “ Certainly she has told me-- but I wo n’t pamper you.
4264“ Has she told you? ” she then asked.
4264“ Have I positively to tell you that she does n’t want us?
4264“ Have you any ground of complaint of me?
4264“ He believed in himself? ” “ Just as I too believed in him.
4264“ He has been splendid. ” “ ‘ Splendid ’?
4264“ He ’ll simply, he ’ll insistently have lied? ” Maggie brought it out roundly.
4264“ He ’s keeping quiet then on purpose? ” “ On purpose. ” Maggie ’s lighted eyes, at least, looked further than they had ever looked.
4264“ He ’s prodigious; but what is there-- as you ’ve ‘ fixed ’ it-- TO dodge?
4264“ He ’s staying for high decency. ” “ Decency? ” Mrs. Assingham gravely echoed.
4264“ Helping her ‘ with ’ him--? ” “ Helping her against him then.
4264“ How CAN’T I, how ca n’t I? ” It fixed afresh Maggie ’s wide eyes on her.
4264“ How I see that you loathed our marriage! ” “ Do you ASK me? ” Maggie after an instant demanded.
4264“ How are you sure? ” She waited before saying, but when she spoke it was definite.
4264“ How can Charlotte, after all, not have pressed him, not have attacked him about it?
4264“ How can you tell whether if you did you would? ” It was ambiguous for an instant, as she showed she felt.
4264“ How could n’t I, how could n’t I? ” Then, with a fine freedom, she went all her way.
4264“ How could you see-- out in the street? ” “ I saw before I went out.
4264“ How do you know how he behaves? ” “ Well, my own love, we see how Charlotte does! ” Again, at this, she faltered; but again she rose.
4264“ How in the world can I know?
4264“ How is HE held? ” “ Oh, I ca n’t tell you that! ” And the Princess again broke off.
4264“ I do like you, you know. ” Well, what could this do but stimulate his humour?
4264“ I do n’t see how you can give credit without knowing the facts. ” “ Ca n’t I give it-- generally-- for dignity?
4264“ I know the name of the inn. ” “ What is it then? ” “ There are two-- you’ll see.
4264“ I mean it ’s rather charming. ” “ ‘ Charming’--? ” It had still to be their law, a little, that she was tragic when he was comic.
4264“ I never went into anything, and you see I do n’t; I ’ve continued to adore you-- but what ’s that, from a decent daughter to such a father?
4264“ I strike you as modest to- day-- modest when I stand here and scream at you? ” “ Oh, your screaming, I ’ve granted you, is something new.
4264“ I ’ll let you know, my dear, the day_ I_ feel you ’ve begun to sacrifice me. ” “ ‘ Begun ’? ” she extravagantly echoed.
4264“ I ’m afraid I ’m not sure. ” “ Then how do you know? ” “ Well, I do n’t KNOW”--and, qualifying again, she was earnestly emphatic.
4264“ I ’m talking about YOU. ” “ Do you mean I ’ve been your victim? ” “ Of course you ’ve been my victim.
4264“ I ’ve come back to my belief, and that I have done so-- ” “ Well? ” he asked as she paused.
4264“ If everything ’s so all right what is there to make up for? ” “ Why, if I did do either of them, by any chance, a wrong.
4264“ If we could n’t be perfectly frank and dear with each other, it would be ever so much better, would n’t it?
4264“ If we get her here to improve us do n’t we too then make use of her? ” It pulled the Princess up, however, but an instant.
4264“ If we have people in the country then, as you were saying, do you know for whom my first fancy would be?
4264“ Immediately? ” she thoughtfully echoed.
4264“ In America? ” “ Yes, even there-- with my motive.
4264“ In other words Maggie is, by her ignorance, in danger?
4264“ In presence of what? ” “ Well, of something possibly beautiful.
4264“ Is Charlotte, ” she had simply asked, “ really ready? ” “ Oh, if you and I and Amerigo are.
4264“ Is THAT a lie? ” “ Do you think you ’re worth lying to?
4264“ Is THAT a lie? ” “ Do you think you ’re worth lying to?
4264“ Is it funny? ” Thus, finally, she again dropped her eyes on it, drawing in her lips a little.
4264“ Is n’t it acting, my dear, to accept it?
4264“ Is n’t she too splendid? ” she simply said, offering it to explain and to finish.
4264“ Is that what I wanted? ” “ Oh, it was n’t for you to say.
4264“ Is there anything-- do you think-- that you could? ” It made her just start.
4264“ Is there even one thing left? ” “ Ah, my dear, my dear, my dear!”--it had pressed again in him the fine spring of the unspeakable.
4264“ Is what it comes to that you ’re jealous of Charlotte? ” “ Do you mean whether I hate her?”--and Maggie thought.
4264“ It was by seeing them together. ” “ Seeing her with her father? ” He fell behind again.
4264“ It will be Maggie herself who will mete it out. ” “ Maggie--? ” “ SHE’LL know-- about her father; everything.
4264“ It will make up. ” “ Make up for what? ” As she said nothing, however, his desire for lucidity renewed itself.
4264“ It ’s for US, therefore, to be hers. ” “ ‘ Hers ’? ” “ You and I. It ’s for us to be Charlotte ’s.
4264“ It ’s he then who has told you? ” She after a moment admitted it.
4264“ It ’s he. ” “ And he does n’t lie? ” “ No-- to do him justice.
4264“ It ’s what you brought me out for? ” “ Well, that ’s, at any rate, ” she returned, “ my own affair.
4264“ Jealous, unhappy, tormented--?
4264“ Leave it, ” he at last remarked, “ to THEM. ” “ ‘ Leave ’ it--? ” She wondered.
4264“ Leave me my reserve; do n’t question it-- it ’s all I have, just now, do n’t you see?
4264“ Leave them to pull through? ” “ Precisely.
4264“ Like a Prince? ” “ Like a Prince.
4264“ Maggie and the child spread so? ” “ Maggie and the child spread so. ” Well, he considered.
4264“ Make them up, I mean, by coming to see YOU? ” Charlotte replied, however, without, as her friend would have phrased it, turning a hair.
4264“ Marriage then, ” said Mrs. Assingham, “ is what you call the monster?
4264“ May have bolted somewhere together? ” “ May have stayed over at Matcham itself till tomorrow.
4264“ May n’t she also be said, a good deal, to have made yours?
4264“ My dear child, you ’re amazing. ” “ Amazing--? ” “ You ’re terrible. ” Maggie thoughtfully shook her head.
4264“ My vessel, dear Prince? ” she smiled.
4264“ Never? ” “ Never. ” They treated the matter not exactly with solemnity, but with a certain decency, even perhaps urgency, of distinctness.
4264“ No-- it ’s for the amusement. ” “ For whose?
4264“ Nobody. ” “ Not-- a little-- Charlotte? ” “ A little? ” the Princess echoed.
4264“ Nobody. ” “ Not-- a little-- Charlotte? ” “ A little? ” the Princess echoed.
4264“ Not afraid of what? ” “ Well, generally, of some beastly mistake.
4264“ Not good enough to stand it? ” “ Well, not good enough not rather to feel the strain.
4264“ Not to be afraid really to speak? ” “ Not to be afraid NOT to speak. ” Mrs. Assingham considered further.
4264“ Not to see you ’re lying? ” “ To stick to me fast, whatever she sees.
4264“ Nothing perhaps but his knowing that she knew. ” “ ‘ Knew ’? ” “ That he was doing it, so much, for me.
4264“ Nothing, I think-- at that place. ” “ What did you take then at any other?
4264“ Of THEMSELVES?
4264“ Of your father? ” “ For love, ” Maggie repeated.
4264“ Of your husband? ” “ For love, ” Maggie said again.
4264“ Oh dear no. ” “ You ’re English? ” To which the answer was this time, with a smile, in briefest Italian.
4264“ Oh, you mean a change? ” “ Twenty changes, if you like-- all sorts of things.
4264“ Our little question itself? ” Her appearance had in fact, at the moment, such an effect on him that he could answer but in marvelling mildness.
4264“ Separate, my dear?
4264“ She believed then in herself. ” “ Ah? ” Maggie murmured.
4264“ She has arrived from America? ” he then quickly asked.
4264“ She lets what--? ” “ Anything-- anything that you might do and that you do n’t.
4264“ She ’d be so scandalised? ” “ She ’d be so frightened.
4264“ She ’ll see me somehow through! ” “ See YOU--? ” “ Yes, me.
4264“ Should n’t you? ” “ Her letting you see?
4264“ Should n’t you? ” “ Her letting you see?
4264“ Should you require to see the Prince ’s? ” “ Not a bit.
4264“ Since--? ” “ And he may have become aware, ” Maggie pursued, “ that she has found it out.
4264“ So cleverly-- THAT ’S your idea?--that no one will be the wiser?
4264“ So much as that? ” “ Do you think it ’s too much? ” She continued to think plainly.
4264“ So much as that? ” “ Do you think it ’s too much? ” She continued to think plainly.
4264“ So she ’s coming now? ” “ I expect her at any moment.
4264“ So you ’re all right? ” “ Oh, ALL right ’s a good deal to say.
4264“ Stand one--? ” “ Well, mind her coming. ” He stared-- then he laughed.
4264“ Taking, you mean, YOUR carriage? ” “ I do n’t know which, and it does n’t matter.
4264“ Terrible? ” “ Well, unless one is almost as good as she.
4264“ That danger BEING the blindness--? ” “ That danger being their position.
4264“ That you think it would be so charming? ” “ That I think it would be so charming.
4264“ That ’s not encouraging then to me, is it? ” the Prince went on.
4264“ The Prince and Charlotte? ” “ The Prince and Charlotte.
4264“ The Prince made her think--? ” Maggie stared-- she had meant her father.
4264“ The difficulty of my enjoyment of that is, do n’t you see?
4264“ The last? ” “ I take it as their good- bye. ” And she smiled as she could always smile.
4264“ The same thing. ” “ Then you ’re no longer unhappy? ” her guest urged, coming more gaily toward her.
4264“ The two of us?
4264“ Their situation? ” “ The incredible side of it.
4264“ Then Lady Castledean--? ” “ Does n’t dream of our staying. ” He took it, but thinking yet.
4264“ Then does any one else know? ” It was as near as he could come to naming her father, and she kept him at that distance.
4264“ Then how do you know so where, as you say, you ‘ are ’? ” “ Why, just BY that.
4264“ Then how is Charlotte so held? ” “ Just by that. ” “ By her ignorance? ” “ By her ignorance. ” Fanny wondered.
4264“ Then how is Charlotte so held? ” “ Just by that. ” “ By her ignorance? ” “ By her ignorance. ” Fanny wondered.
4264“ Then if it ’s so precious, how comes it to be cheap? ” Her interlocutor once more hung fire, but by this time the Prince had lost patience.
4264“ Then if she ’s so happy, please what ’s the matter? ” It made his wife almost spring at him.
4264“ Then it all depends on that object that you regard, for your reasons, as evidence? ” “ I think I may say that_ I_ depend on it.
4264“ Then it all depends on the bowl?
4264“ Then it ’s a good deal my fault-- if everything really began so well? ” Fanny Assingham met it as she could.
4264“ Then nobody knows--?
4264“ Then she only thought US fools? ” “ Oh no-- I do n’t say that.
4264“ Then the fun would begin? ” As it but made her look at him hard, however, he amended the form of his inquiry.
4264“ Then what does she dream--? ” “ Of Mr. Blint, poor dear; of Mr. Blint only. ” Her smile for him-- for the Prince himself-- was free.
4264“ Then where ’s the difficulty? ” “ There is n’t any! ” Fanny declared with the same rich emphasis.
4264“ Then why are you troubled? ” It pulled her up-- but only for a minute.
4264“ Then why in the world not? ” Maggie ’s face lighted anew, but it was now another light.
4264“ Then why the deuce does he-- oh, poor dear man!--behave as if he were? ” She took a moment to meet it.
4264“ Then you intend not to speak to him--? ” Maggie waited.
4264“ Then you ’ve made up yours differently?
4264“ Then, then what? ” he asked with perfect good- nature.
4264“ There IS a split, eh?
4264“ There seems a kind of charm, does n’t there?
4264“ There ’s always the question of what one considers--! ” “ What one considers intimate?
4264“ These three months ’? ” the Prince asked.
4264“ They have their reasons-- many things to think of; how can one tell?
4264“ They were n’t to have started for another week. ” “ Well, what then?
4264“ Through what? ” “ Through everything.
4264“ Till they ’ve been here, you mean? ” “ Yes, till they ’ve gone.
4264“ To criticise her?
4264“ To make you feel better? ” “ Well, ” he replied frankly, wonderfully--“it will.
4264“ To save herself? ” “ Well, also, really, I think, to save HIM too.
4264“ To your father? ” But it made her hesitate too; she would n’t speak of her father directly.
4264“ Watches him? ” “ For the first faint sign.
4264“ Water- tight-- the biggest compartment of all?
4264“ We go over, you say, to meet them? ” “ As soon as we can get back to Fawns.
4264“ We may n’t even be sorry for her? ” “ Not now-- or at least not yet.
4264“ We start to- night to bring you all our love and joy and sympathy. ” There they were, the words, and what did she want more?
4264“ Wear it, per Bacco! ” “ Where then, please?
4264“ Well then, what? ” But she threw back her head, she turned impatiently away from him.
4264“ Well, I back poor Charlotte. ” “ ‘ Back ’ her? ” “ To know what she wants. ” “ Ah then, so do I.
4264“ Well, I hope--! ” “ Hope he ’ll see her? ” Maggie hesitated, however; she made no direct reply.
4264“ Well, has n’t he been away? ” “ Yes, just long enough to see how he likes it.
4264“ Well, never what? ” “ Never been half so interested in you as now.
4264“ Well, when I go on--? ” “ Why, you make me quite want to ship back myself.
4264“ Well, ” his daughter returned, “ you know how far, in a general way, Charlotte Stant goes. ” “ Charlotte?
4264“ Well? ” “ Well, shall be perfect. ” “ That ’s very fine, ” she presently answered.
4264“ Were you amused at me just now-- when I wondered what other people could wish to struggle for?
4264“ What I ca n’t for my life make out is your idea of the old boy. ” “ Charlotte ’s too inconceivably funny husband?
4264“ What I should rather say is does he know how much? ” She found it still awkward.
4264“ What IS the matter with it? ” “ Oh, it ’s not for me to say; it ’s for you honestly to tell me.
4264“ What awfulness, in heaven ’s name, is there between them?
4264“ What could be more simple than one ’s going through with everything, ” she had asked, “ when it ’s so plain a part of one ’s contract?
4264“ What day? ” “ The day you marry.
4264“ What did you mean some minutes ago by his not caring for Charlotte? ” “ The Prince ’s?
4264“ What did you mean some minutes ago by his not caring for Charlotte? ” “ The Prince ’s?
4264“ What do you call the most? ” “ Well, she did it originally-- she began the vicious circle.
4264“ What do you make of it that, by your own show, Charlotte could n’t tell her all?
4264“ What do you make of what I ’ve done for American City? ” It took her but a moment to say.
4264“ What do you make then of what I wanted? ” “ I do n’t make anything, any more than of what you ’ve got.
4264“ What do you mean by ‘ properly ’?
4264“ What do you want more? ” “ Did n’t HE, ” the Colonel inquired, “ want anything more?
4264“ What do you want more? ” “ Did n’t HE, ” the Colonel inquired, “ want anything more?
4264“ What does it matter-- if I ’ve failed? ” “ You recognise then that you ’ve failed? ” asked Charlotte from the threshold.
4264“ What does it matter-- if I ’ve failed? ” “ You recognise then that you ’ve failed? ” asked Charlotte from the threshold.
4264“ What does it strike you that I ’ve done? ” “ What you wanted.
4264“ What else can we do, what in all the world else? ” He took them up, however, no more than at first.
4264“ What has she done-- in life? ” “ Well, she has been brave and bright, ” said Maggie.
4264“ What in the world SHOULD it be? ” “ Ah, that ’s not for me to imagine, and I should be very sorry to have to try to say!
4264“ What in the world can she do against us?
4264“ What in the world, between them, ever took place? ” “ Between Charlotte and the Prince?
4264“ What in the world, between them, ever took place? ” “ Between Charlotte and the Prince?
4264“ What is a quarrel with me but a quarrel with my right to recognise the conditions of my bargain?
4264“ What is it then, dear, you want? ” But the girl looked only at their companion.
4264“ What life would they like us to lead? ” “ Oh, it ’s not a question, I think, on which they quite feel together.
4264“ What makes you want to ask it? ” “ My natural desire to know.
4264“ What she does like, ” he finally said, “ is the way it has succeeded. ” “ Your marriage? ” “ Yes-- my whole idea.
4264“ What should I have gone out for? ” “ Oh, what should people in our case do anything for?
4264“ What should I have gone out for? ” “ Oh, what should people in our case do anything for?
4264“ What then will protect ME? ” “ Where I ’m concerned_ I_ will.
4264“ What then, may I ask IS your plan? ” It hung fire but ten seconds; it came out sharp.
4264“ What trick would it be? ” He looked at her harder.
4264“ What vessel, in the world, have I?
4264“ What would you? ” “ Oh; I oh-- that is n’t the question.
4264“ What you came back from America to ask?
4264“ What ’s your father ’s idea, this year, then, about Fawns?
4264“ Where is the weak place? ” She then did the question justice.
4264“ Where then have you been? ” he asked as from mere interest in her adventure.
4264“ Where would you have been, my dear, if I had n’t meddled with YOU? ” “ Ah, that was n’t meddling-- I was your own.
4264“ Which he shows by letting you, as you say, alone? ” Maggie looked at her a minute.
4264“ Which of them do you call her best friend? ” She gave a toss of impatience.
4264“ Who ’ll keep the others? ” “ The others--? ” “ Who ’ll keep THEM quiet?
4264“ Who ’ll keep the others? ” “ The others--? ” “ Who ’ll keep THEM quiet?
4264“ Who ’ll keep the others? ” “ The others--? ” “ Who ’ll keep THEM quiet?
4264“ Whose husband ’s? ” “ Mr.
4264“ Why do you speak of the unhappiness of your father ’s wife? ” They exchanged a long look-- the time that it took her to find her reply.
4264“ Why handsome? ” Maggie would have been free to ask; since if she had been veracious the service assuredly would not have been huge.
4264“ Why is she unhappy if she does n’t know? ” “ Does n’t know--? ” She tried to make his logic difficult.
4264“ Why is she unhappy if she does n’t know? ” “ Does n’t know--? ” She tried to make his logic difficult.
4264“ Why not?
4264“ Why should n’t Charlotte be just one of MY reasons-- my not liking to leave her?
4264“ Why, his ‘ form, ’ ” he had returned, “ might have made one doubt. ” “ Father ’s form? ” She had n’t seen it.
4264“ Why, if you like it, you know, it wo n’t BE a collapse. ” “ Then why talk about seeing me through at all?
4264“ Why, is n’t that just what we have been talking about-- that I ’ve affected you as fairly studying his comfort and his pleasure?
4264“ Will you promise me then to be at peace? ” She looked, while she debated, at his admirable present.
4264“ With the Prince--? ” “ FOR the Prince.
4264“ With what I ’m doing now? ” “ You ’re promising me now what I want.
4264“ Worse than that Charlotte--? ” “ Ah, do n’t tell me, ” she cried, “ that there COULD have been nothing worse.
4264“ Worth it, the little sacrifice, for whom?
4264“ Would n’t you find out if it were a question of parting with me?
4264“ Would you allow me--? ” “ No, ” said the Prince into his little box.
4264“ YOUR marriage is on Friday?--on Saturday? ” “ Oh, on Friday, no!
4264“ Yes, but it is n’t for that. ” “ Then what is it for? ” “ Simply that she may be THERE-- just there before us.
4264“ Yes, but to whom?--doesn’t it rather depend on that?
4264“ Yes-- isn’t it one of the best?
4264“ Yet if he lets you alone and you only let him--? ” “ May n’t our doing so, you mean, be noticed?--mayn’t it give us away?
4264“ Yet if he lets you alone and you only let him--? ” “ May n’t our doing so, you mean, be noticed?--mayn’t it give us away?
4264“ You COULD be-- otherwise? ” “ Oh, how can I talk, ” she asked, “ of otherwise?
4264“ You COULD be-- otherwise? ” “ Oh, how can I talk, ” she asked, “ of otherwise?
4264“ You WILL put it to her yourself then? ” She had another hesitation.
4264“ You answer for it without having looked? ” “ I did look.
4264“ You believe so in Mr. Verver ’s innocence after two years of Charlotte? ” She stared.
4264“ You have n’t, I rather gather, particularly liked your country? ” They would stick, for the time, to their English.
4264“ You hold there ’s no limit to what you ‘ can ’? ” “ I do n’t say there ’s no limit, or anything of the sort.
4264“ You imagine, poor child, that the wretches are in love?
4264“ You looked it up-- without my having asked you? ” “ Ah, my dear, ” she laughed, “ I ’ve seen you with Bradshaw!
4264“ You mean because you do rather like her? ” He on his side too had waited a little, but then he had taken it from her.
4264“ You mean one could smash it with a hammer? ” “ Yes; if nothing else would do.
4264“ You mean she wo n’t mind?
4264“ You mean she ’ll get the Prince back? ” She raised her hand in quick impatience: the suggestion might have been almost abject.
4264“ You mean that in that case she WILL, charming creature, be lost? ” She was silent a moment more.
4264“ You mean you really do n’t know? ” “ But know what? ” “ Why, what ’s the matter with it.
4264“ You mean you really do n’t know? ” “ But know what? ” “ Why, what ’s the matter with it.
4264“ You mean you were so at your ease on Monday-- the night you dined with us? ” “ I was very happy then, ” said Maggie.
4264“ You mean you ’ve arranged--? ” “ It ’s easy to arrange.
4264“ You never HAVE entertained it? ” Maggie pursued.
4264“ You say your husband ’s ill?
4264“ You stayed as long as possible? ” “ Well, it seemed to me so-- but I had n’t ‘ interests. ’ You ’ll have them-- on a great scale.
4264“ You talk about rest-- it ’s too selfish!--when you ’re just launching me on adventures? ” She shook her head with her kind lucidity.
4264“ You think I ought to argue for more than mere existence? ” she asked.
4264“ You think then I ’ve a share in it?
4264“ You think then she ’s secretly wretched? ” But he threw up his arms in deprecation.
4264“ You wo n’t take it from me? ” “ I wo n’t take it from you. ” “ Well, of course you wo n’t, for that ’s your way.
4264“ You would n’t accept it from me? ” “ No, ” he repeated in the same way.
4264“ You ’d like her for your honeymoon? ” “ Oh no, you must keep her for that.
4264“ You ’re Italian then, are you? ” But the reply came in English.
4264“ You ’ve never even imagined anything? ” “ Ah, God forbid!--for it ’s exactly as a woman of imagination that I speak.
4264“ You, darling, in that case, I verily believe, would have been the one to hate it most. ” “ To hate it--? ” Maggie had wondered.
4264“ Your knowing that I ’ve ceased-- ” “ That you ’ve ceased--? ” With her pause, in fact, she had fairly made him press her for it.
4264“ Yours then are rather here? ” “ Oh, mine!”--the girl smiled.
4264“ ‘ Ask ’ you?
4264“ ‘ Between them? ’ What do you mean? ” “ Anything there should n’t be, there should n’t have BEEN-- all this time.
4264“ ‘ Between them? ’ What do you mean? ” “ Anything there should n’t be, there should n’t have BEEN-- all this time.
4264“ ‘ Conscientiously? ’ Why should n’t I conscientiously?
4264“ ‘ Conscientiously? ’ Why should n’t I conscientiously?
4264“ ‘ Funny ’? ” “ Oh, I do n’t mean a comic toy-- I mean some little thing with a charm.
4264“ ‘ Her ’? ” “ Her and him.
4264“ ‘ More ’?
4264“ ‘ Ours’--? ” “ My husband ’s and mine.
4264“ ‘ Unexplained, ’ my dear?
4264“ ‘ Why, why ’ have I made this evening such a point of our not all dining together?
4520''” “ What by that? ” said Aaron.
4520--and I said,''Chi?
4520A fair man?
4520A maudlin crying to be loved, which makes your knees all go rickety. ” “ Think that''s it? ” said Jim.
4520A red light? ” “ Oh, that''s only the pit- bank on fire, ” said Robert, who had followed her.
4520A rug for your knees?
4520Ah, my dear fellow, what is life but a search for a friend?
4520All right?
4520Almost angered him?
4520Am I not right? ” “ Quite.
4520And I may be no other to her-- ” “ Then why not let it be so, and be satisfied? ” said Lilly.
4520And I thought to myself: have I lost my cloak?
4520And Tanny is all right, you say?
4520And did she?
4520And if I can fall in love-- But it''s becoming so damned hard-- ” “ What, to fall in love? ” asked Lilly.
4520And if I do n''t choose to let you see me crying, that does n''t prove I''ve never had a bad half hour, does it?
4520And is n''t it a great deal of honour for one man?
4520And it does make a difference, does n''t it, Tanny dear? ” “ A great difference, ” said Tanny.
4520And it does n''t matter, not to anybody but myself. ” “ What becomes of anybody, anyhow?
4520And it is n''t natural, quite, to break it.--Do you know what I mean? ” She paused a moment.
4520And she likes him too, does n''t she? ” said Tanny.
4520And so-- you see-- everything goes-- ” “ But you will begin again? ” “ Yes.
4520And supposing I am as you say-- are you any different? ” “ No, I''m not very different.
4520And that if I enter into an undertaking, it will be successful. ” “ And your life has been always successful? ” “ Yes-- almost always.
4520And then shot him dead. ” “ Was he dead? ” said Aaron.
4520And then what?
4520And was it not his privilege?
4520And what did you think of it? ” “ Very fine. ” “ I think it is.
4520And what have they learnt?--Why did so many of them have presentiments, as he called it?
4520And what''s the bonum publicum but a mob power?
4520And when will you be moving in? ” said Francis.
4520And why?
4520And will you practise with me, so that I can accompany you? ” said Manfredi eagerly.
4520And wo n''t you let me take the accompaniment?
4520And you are in the Nardini just across there, are you?
4520And you can tell me if it is foolish to you.--Shall I tell you?
4520And you have a family in England?
4520Any relation of Robert? ” “ Oh, yes!
4520Anybody? ” “ Rather! ” came the deep voice of Clariss.
4520Are n''t you better off without him? ” “ I am.
4520Are n''t you yourself seeking? ” “ Oh, that''s another matter, ” put in Argyle.
4520Are n''t you?
4520Are you all of you? ” “ Absolutely wild, ” said Lilly laconically.
4520Are you all right? ” she said.
4520Are you as keen on innocence as Manfredi is? ” “ Innocence? ” said Aaron.
4520Are you as keen on innocence as Manfredi is? ” “ Innocence? ” said Aaron.
4520Are you going to play without music? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520Are you quite all right here?
4520Are you quite comfortable?
4520Are you sure you have everything?
4520At what time?
4520At what time? ” “ Any time, ” said Aaron.
4520Bach?
4520Because the Germans are the only people who could make a war like this-- and I do n''t think they''ll ever do it again, do you?
4520Been going to the dogs, eh? ” “ Or the bitches, ” said Aaron.
4520Beethoven inspires that in me, too. ” “ He makes you feel that all will be well with you at last? ” “ Yes, he does.
4520Better-- better-- ” “ Good-- you say?
4520Bring it, will you?
4520But I keep myself from realising, do n''t you know?
4520But I often wonder what will become of me. ” “ In what way? ” She was almost affronted.
4520But I was n''t really. ” “ Then you expected him? ” “ No.
4520But I''d rather meet her abroad than here-- and get on a different footing. ” “ Why? ” “ Oh, I do n''t know.
4520But ah, what is it, you know?
4520But as one must frown at something, why not at the bowler hat?
4520But did you go up, now, to the belvedere? ” “ To the top-- where the vines are?
4520But did you go up, now, to the belvedere? ” “ To the top-- where the vines are?
4520But do n''t you give private recitals, too? ” “ No, I never have. ” “ Oh! ” cried Francis, catching his breath.
4520But do you think I might? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520But here you are in bed like a woman who''s had a baby.--You''re all right, are you? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520But in the heart--?
4520But it drives us, and eats away the life-- and yet we love each other, and we must not separate-- Do you know what I mean?
4520But my God-- what do you think of it? ” “ Seems pretty mean, ” said Aaron.
4520But my LIFE seems alone, for some reason-- ” “ Have n''t you got relations? ” he said.
4520But then what does a white mouse like that need?
4520But there''s nothing doing for me in France.--When do you go back into the country, both of you? ” “ Friday, ” said Lilly.
4520But they hardly count over here. ” “ Why do n''t you get married? ” he said.
4520But was he HURT--? ” “ I do n''t know.
4520But what could be better?
4520But what did you FEEL about it, privately? ” “ I did n''t feel much.
4520But what do you call the common good? ” replied the little doctor, with childish pertinence.
4520But what if you have n''t got much education, to speak of? ” “ You can always get it, ” she said patronizing.
4520But what is that for a life? ” cried the Marchese, with a hollow mockery.
4520But what is the something? ” “ I do n''t know.
4520But what was it you played? ” Aaron told him.
4520But what was the good?
4520But where ELSE?
4520But where is it, when it comes to?
4520But whether to go and live with him?
4520But why console him?
4520But why, why?
4520But why?
4520But will you try? ” “ Yes, I''ll try. ” “ Manfredi is just bringing the cocktails.
4520But you and Tanny; why, there''s the world, and there''s Lilly: that''s how I put it, my boy. ” “ All right, Argyle.--Hoflichkeiten. ” “ What?
4520Ca n''t stand that fellow, can you?
4520Ca n''t you pull yourself together? ” But Aaron only became more gloomily withheld, retracting from life.
4520Ca n''t you rouse him up? ” “ I think it depresses him partly that his bowels wo n''t work.
4520Can I have it with soda?
4520Can the heart ever beat quite alone?
4520Can you find it satisfactory? ” “ Is it even true? ” said the Major.
4520Can you find it satisfactory? ” “ Is it even true? ” said the Major.
4520Can you help me out, Mr. Sisson?
4520Chi sono chi vengono?
4520Chi?''
4520Chianti?
4520Coffee will no doubt be served. ” “ Will you take my arm, Sir? ” said the well- nourished Arthur.
4520Come at half- past six, as today, will you?
4520Could any race be anything but despicable, with such an antecedent?
4520Could he have expected so much, in one life- time?
4520Damn them all, why do n''t I leave them alone?
4520Did he know many people?
4520Did he need consolation?
4520Did he scorn fortunes and fortune- making?
4520Did he want to be Anthony to Cleopatra?
4520Did n''t we hear that Lilly was in Germany? ” “ Yes, in Munich, being psychoanalysed, I believe it was. ” Aaron looked rather blank.
4520Did you ever see anything like it? ” “ No.
4520Do I speak the truth? ” “ Yes.
4520Do n''t break it, will you? ” Marjory was shaking the bell against her ear.
4520Do n''t you agree, Aaron?
4520Do n''t you find it rather hot? ” “ Is there another bottle of beer there? ” said Jim, without moving, too settled even to stir an eye- lid.
4520Do n''t you find it rather hot? ” “ Is there another bottle of beer there? ” said Jim, without moving, too settled even to stir an eye- lid.
4520Do n''t you hate them? ” “ I do n''t like them.
4520Do n''t you know? ” “ No, ” said Aaron.
4520Do n''t you remember?
4520Do n''t you think it all works out rather stupid and unsatisfying? ” “ Ah, but a civil war would be different.
4520Do n''t you think so? ” “ Oh, quite, ” said Angus, whose observations had got no further than the black cloth of the back of Aaron''s jacket.
4520Do n''t you think that is very probable? ” “ I have no idea, ” said Aaron.
4520Do n''t you think we might hear him again?
4520Do n''t you try to earn all you can? ” “ Ay, ” said Aaron.
4520Do n''t you?
4520Do they want him? ” A faint smile came on her husband''s face.
4520Do you believe it--? ” “ Yes, ” said Levison unwillingly.
4520Do you feel the same? ” “ No, not that way, worse luck.
4520Do you hear me? ” “ Miss Smitham''s coming in.
4520Do you know what I mean? ” “ I do n''t know, ” said Aaron.
4520Do you know what Josephine Ford confessed to me?
4520Do you know, I think that''s the very best drink in the tropics: sweet white wine, with soda?
4520Do you like being in the country? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520Do you mean us in this box, or the crew outside there? ” he jerked his head towards the auditorium.
4520Do you mind that I call you Aaron? ” “ Not at all.
4520Do you take this as my gospel? ” “ I take it you are speaking seriously. ” Here Lilly broke into that peculiar, gay, whimsical smile.
4520Do you think a cuckoo in Africa and a cuckoo in Essex is one AND the same bird?
4520Do you think it would hurt Robert? ” She screwed up her eyes, looking at Tanny.
4520Do you think you''d prefer orange in yours? ” “ Ill have mine as you have yours. ” “ I do n''t take orange in mine.
4520Do you understand me at all in what I say?
4520Do you want a God you can strive to and attain, through love, and live happy ever after, countless millions of eternities, immortality and all that?
4520Do you want to know anybody here, or do n''t you?
4520Do you? ” replied Julia.
4520Do-- and try me. ” “ And you will tell me what you feel? ” “ Yes. ” Aaron went out to his overcoat.
4520Does it? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron briefly.
4520Eh?
4520Eh?
4520Eh? ” asked Jim.
4520Else perhaps, where should I be?
4520English moneys, eh?
4520Enlighten us. ” “ Nowhere, I suppose. ” “ But is that satisfactory?
4520Enough light will come in from here. ” “ Sure? ” said Manfredi.
4520Every time. ” “ Then what''s to be done? ” “ Nothing, as far as I can see.
4520Except that-- ” “ You do n''t care about anything?
4520Fancy yourself snug in bed, do n''t you?
4520Get up now, we''re going indoors. ” “ What do you reckon stars are? ” he persisted.
4520Goodbye! ” “ You''ll come to Rackham? ” said Jim, leaning out of the train.
4520Had he not gained it?
4520Half past eight? ” “ Thank you very much. ” “ Then at half past eight the man will bring it in.
4520Has a wild creature ever absolute trust?
4520Has your experience been different, or the same? ” “ What was yours? ” asked Lilly.
4520Has your experience been different, or the same? ” “ What was yours? ” asked Lilly.
4520Have another cushion?
4520Have n''t I loved you for twelve years, and worked and slaved for you and tried to keep you right?
4520Have n''t I loved you?
4520Have n''t I, Juley? ” “ Yes, ” said Julia, vaguely and wispily.
4520Have you drunk your tea?
4520Have you found it like that?
4520Have you got a divine urge, or need? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Have you got a divine urge, or need? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Have you some engagement in Venice? ” “ No, ” said Aaron.
4520He made out that the woman was asking him for his name--“Meester--?
4520He wanted to say “ Friday then? ” “ Yes, I''d rather you went Thursday, ” repeated Lilly.
4520He was breaking loose from one connection after another; and what for?
4520Her own soul will wish to yield itself. ” “ Woman yield--? ” Aaron re- echoed.
4520How can he be so alone? ” said the Marchese.
4520How had he got his job?
4520How is it to be? ” “ I do n''t vitally care either about money or my work or-- ” Lilly faltered.
4520How is the cocktail, Nan? ” “ Yes, ” she said.
4520How old are you? ” “ Thirty- three. ” “ You might almost be any age.--I do n''t know why I do n''t get married.
4520How old? ” “ Oldest eight-- youngest nine months-- ” “ So small! ” sang Julia, with real tenderness now-- Aaron dropped his head.
4520How should they?
4520I am not to be badgered any more. ” “ Am I badgering you? ” said Aaron.
4520I believe you''ve got the flu. ” “ Think I have? ” said Aaron frightened.
4520I could kill him for it. ” “ Were you ever happy together? ” “ We were all right at first.
4520I do n''t know. ” “ Too emotional?
4520I enjoyed Beecham''s operas so much. ” “ Which do you like best? ” said Aaron.
4520I feel I''ve come out of myself. ” “ Yes, it is a wonderful sight-- a wonderful sight-- But you have not been INTO the town? ” “ Yes.
4520I feel that I myself have a special kind of fate, that will always look after me. ” “ And you can trust to it? ” “ Yes, I can.
4520I felt myself go-- as if the bile broke inside me, and I was sick. ” “ Josephine seduced you? ” laughed Lilly.
4520I have not been able to get over it all day. ” “ What was it? ” said Aaron.
4520I hope you do n''t object to our catechism? ” “ No.
4520I know she is not happy, I know I am not-- ” “ Why should you be? ” said Lilly.
4520I know you do n''t believe it. ” “ What do I believe then? ” said Lilly.
4520I left her as I shall leave the earth when I die-- because it has to be. ” “ Do you know what I think it is, Mr. Sisson? ” put in Lady Franks.
4520I like her so much. ” “ And him? ” “ Mr.
4520I like the WE, do n''t you?
4520I loathe the slimy creepy personal intimacy.--''Don''t you think, Mr. Bricknell, that it''s lovely to be able to talk quite simply to somebody?
4520I mean does it interest you? ” “ What-- the flute? ” “ No-- music altogether-- ” “ Music altogether--!
4520I mean does it interest you? ” “ What-- the flute? ” “ No-- music altogether-- ” “ Music altogether--!
4520I mean, does something drive you from inside? ” “ I ca n''t just rest, ” said Aaron.
4520I never expected the mountains. ” “ You never expected the mountains?
4520I only want to be left alone. ” “ Not to have anything to do with anybody? ” she queried ironically.
4520I say, wo n''t you play for us one of these Saturdays?
4520I should have been all right if I had n''t given in to her-- ” “ To whom? ” said Lilly.
4520I think it does not. ” “ And will it ever again? ” “ Perhaps never. ” “ And then what? ” “ Then?
4520I think it does not. ” “ And will it ever again? ” “ Perhaps never. ” “ And then what? ” “ Then?
4520I think it does not. ” “ And will it ever again? ” “ Perhaps never. ” “ And then what? ” “ Then?
4520I thought I''d better come and see, so that we can fetch you at lunch time.--You''ve got a seat?
4520I told you there were two urges-- two great life- urges, did n''t I?
4520I want to get a new tune out of myself. ” “ Had enough of this? ” “ Yes. ” A flush of anger came on Aaron''s face.
4520I want to walk past most of it. ” “ Can you tell us where to?
4520I went away. ” “ What from? ” “ From it all. ” “ From the woman in particular? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520I went away. ” “ What from? ” “ From it all. ” “ From the woman in particular? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520I will read it out to you later. ” “ Are n''t you satisfied?
4520I''d be ashamed if I were you. ” “ Would you? ” said Jim.
4520I''m a shady bird, in all senses of the word, in all senses of the word.--Now are you comfortable?
4520I''m dying. ” “ What of?
4520I''m not sure. ” “ You do n''t look forward to the Saturday mornings? ” he asked.
4520I''m thankful we have none. ” “ Why? ” “ I ca n''t quite say.
4520I''ve got TWO aunts called Tabitha: if not more. ” “ They are n''t of any vital importance to you, are they? ” said Levison.
4520I, too, shall have to learn to play it. ” “ And run the risk of spoiling the shape of your mouth-- like Alcibiades. ” “ Is there a risk?
4520I--? ” she exclaimed.
4520IS he? ” sang Julia.
4520If you do n''t breathe in, you suffocate. ” “ What about breathing out? ” said Robert.
4520In God''s name, why?
4520In the morning he must move: where?
4520Incredibly old, like little boys who know too much-- aren''t they?
4520Is he in love with her?
4520Is it a God you''re after?
4520Is it that you want to love, or to be obeyed? ” “ A bit of both. ” “ All right-- a bit of both.
4520Is it the love urge? ” “ I do n''t know, ” said Aaron.
4520Is my life given me for nothing but to get children, and work to bring them up?
4520Is n''t it awfully unkind to them? ” She rose in her eagerness.
4520Is n''t it his duty to do what he can for himself?
4520Is n''t it so, Sybil? ” “ Yes, I think so, ” said Sybil.
4520Is n''t it strange?
4520Is n''t it wonderful? ” said Lady Franks.
4520Is n''t the result the same? ” “ It matters.
4520Is that all right?--Yes, come just before twelve.--When?--Tomorrow?
4520Is that the nature of love? ” said Lilly.
4520Is that your intention? ” “ That I could n''t say, ” said the Marchesa, smoking, smoking.
4520Is there any harm in it?
4520Is there anything I could get you?
4520Is this your little dodge? ” Again Aaron looked at Lilly with that odd double look of mockery and unwillingness to give himself away.
4520It came naturally, though.--But why did you come, Aaron?
4520It is such fine music. ” “ I find_ Ivan_ artificial. ” “ Do you?
4520It makes me feel so sick. ” “ What-- do you want discords?--dissonances? ” “ No-- they are nearly as bad.
4520It''ll just go on and on-- Does n''t it make you feel you''d go mad? ” He looked at her and shook his head.
4520It''s all much too new and complicated for me.--But perhaps you know Italy? ” “ No, I do n''t, ” said Aaron.
4520It''s no good her foisting her rights on to me. ” “ Is n''t that pure selfishness? ” “ It may be.
4520It''s what does n''t go down. ” “ And how much is that? ” she asked, eying him.
4520Lack of life? ” “ That''s about it, my young cock.
4520League of Nations? ” “ Damn all leagues.
4520Let them die of the bee- disease. ” “ Not only that, ” persisted Levison, “ but what is your alternative?
4520Like to see the ball kept rolling. ” “ What have you been doing lately? ” “ Been staying a few days with my wife. ” “ No, really!
4520Lilly has gone away? ” said Aaron.
4520Lungs are all right so far. ” “ How long shall I have to be in bed? ” said Aaron.
4520Major, where are you wandering off to?
4520Manfredi lives for it, almost. ” “ For that and nothing else? ” asked Aaron.
4520Marriage is a self- conscious egoistic state, it seems to me. ” “ You''ve got no children? ” said Aaron.
4520May we ask what you bought? ” This he did not like.
4520May we ask you another question, Mr. Sisson?
4520May we hear you some time? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron, non- committal.
4520May we look at it? ” Josephine now turned the handle of the French windows, and stepped out.
4520Meester--? ” she kept saying, with a note of interrogation.
4520Miserable tea, but nobody has sent me any from England-- ” “ And you will go on till you die, Argyle? ” said Lilly.
4520Mr. Lilly? ” he asked.
4520Much best make rather a favour of it, than sort of ask them to hire you.--Don''t you agree?
4520Music risky?
4520My mother left me a bit over a thousand when she died. ” “ You do n''t mind what I say, do you? ” said Josephine.
4520My wife''s gone to Norway. ” “ For good? ” “ No, ” laughed Lilly.
4520No-- well, then-- would you like a bath now, or--? ” It was evident the Franks had dispensed much hospitality: much of it charitable.
4520Not by ANY means. ” “ Are you not seeking any more, Lilly? ” asked the Marchese.
4520Not good moneys? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron, rather indignantly.
4520Not he, otherwise whence this homage for the old man with much money?
4520Not later than Thursday. ” “ You''re looking forward to going? ” The question was half bitter.
4520Nothing beyond this hell-- only death or love-- languishing-- ” “ What could they have seen, anyhow? ” said Aaron.
4520Now we try to speak of that which we have in our centre of our hearts. ” “ And what have we there? ” said Lilly.
4520Now, in life, there are only two great dynamic urges-- do you believe me--? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Now, in life, there are only two great dynamic urges-- do you believe me--? ” “ How do I know? ” laughed Aaron.
4520Of me and your children?
4520Of soul?
4520Oh, God''s love, are n''t we fools! ” “ No-- why? ” cried Josephine, amused but resentful.
4520Oh, ROBBIE, is n''t it all right, is n''t it just all right? ” She tailed off into her hurried, wild, repeated laugh.
4520Oh, have n''t I?
4520Oh, yes-- quite at home. ” “ Do you like it as well as anywhere? ” he asked.
4520Oh-- er-- how''s your wife?
4520On what grounds?
4520Once outside the door, the husband asked: “ How shall we go home, dear?
4520One can never be SURE of Providence. ” “ What can you be sure of, then? ” said Aaron.
4520One franc? ” asked the driver.
4520Only when it came he would n''t be there. ” “ Would you? ” “ Yes, indeed I would.
4520Only while it stands I do want central heating and a good cook. ” “ May I come to dinner? ” said Jim.
4520Or do you give the centre of your spirit to your work?
4520Or perhaps you''d like to go home?
4520Or was her fear only a delightful game of cat and mouse?
4520Or was the fear genuine, and the delight the greater: a sort of sacrilege?
4520Or white wine?
4520Other things as well. ” “ But you do n''t like it much any more? ” “ I do n''t know.
4520Paradisal enough for you, is it? ” “ The devil looking over Lincoln, ” said Lilly laughing, glancing up into Argyle''s face.
4520Paris for the most part. ” “ Never America? ” “ No, never America.
4520Plop!--Can the heart beat quite alone, alone in all the atmosphere, all the space of the universe?
4520Plop!--Quite alone in all the space? ” A slow smile came over the Italian''s face.
4520Poor old Algy.--Did I lay it on him tonight, or did I miss him? ” “ I think you got him, ” said Aaron.
4520Pray, why not?
4520Rivets, and we ca n''t get them out. ” “ And where should we be if we could? ” said Aaron.
4520Self, self, self-- that''s all it is with them-- and ignorance. ” “ You''d rather have self without ignorance? ” he said, smiling finely.
4520Shall YOU be any different in yourself, in another place?
4520Shall we leave it at that, now? ” “ Yes, ” said Aaron.
4520Shall we? ” She rose from the table.
4520Shall you? ” “ Candles! ” he repeated, putting the piccolo to his mouth and blowing a few piercing, preparatory notes.
4520She the woman, the mother of his children, how should she ever even think to yield?
4520She''s made up her mind she loves me, and she''s not going to let me off. ” “ Did you never love her? ” said Josephine.
4520Sir William Franks?
4520Six- pence a box. ” “ Got any holders? ” “ Holders?
4520Six- pence a box. ” “ Got any holders? ” “ Holders?
4520So what''s the good of talking about advantages?
4520So you found our city impressive? ” “ Very!
4520So you hope to earn your keep here?
4520Tanny and I have been very much alone in various countries: but that''s two, not one. ” “ You miss her then? ” “ Yes, of course.
4520Thank goodness my experience of a man has been different. ” “ We ca n''t all be alike, can we?
4520That is a great pleasure. ” “ So I think.--Does your wife like it, too? ” “ Very much, indeed!
4520That is n''t saying he''s a fool, neither. ” “ And what better is them that''s got education? ” put in another man.
4520That''s a day to live for, what? ” “ Ha!
4520That''s what I should have been if I had had my way. ” “ What instrument? ” asked Aaron.
4520The Germans were false, we were false, everybody was false. ” “ And not you? ” asked Aaron shrewishly.
4520The deaf Jewish Rosen was smiling down his nose and saying: “ What was that last?
4520The piano? ” “ Yes-- the pianoforte.
4520The spirit may move him in quite an opposite direction to the market-- then where is Lilly?
4520Then he said smiling: “ So I''d better sit tight on my soul, till it hatches, had I? ” “ Oh, yes.
4520Then he said to Aaron: “ Were you coming to see me, Sisson?
4520They are very exclusive still, the Venetian_ noblesse_? ” said Miss Wade.
4520They ought to have allowed us six times the quantity-- there''s plenty of sugar, why did n''t they?
4520They were Guelfs, why not remain it?
4520They''ll do a lot of cavilling. ” “ But wo n''t they ACT? ” cried Josephine.
4520Tomorrow morning?
4520Too much feeling for you? ” “ Yes, perhaps.
4520Towards Rome? ” “ I came to meet Lilly, ” said Aaron.
4520Tram or carriage--? ” It was evident he was economical.
4520Wahrhaftiger Kerl bin ich.--When am I going to see Tanny?
4520Was he going to agree?
4520Was it because he was one of her own race, and she, as it were, crept right home to him?
4520Was it illusion, or was it genuine?
4520Was n''t it extraordinary?
4520Was not hers the divine will and the divine right?
4520Was there?
4520We are dilettanti, I suppose. ” “ No-- what is your instrument?
4520We looked at most, I believe. ” “ And what do you remember best? ” “ I remember Botticelli''s Venus on the Shell. ” “ Yes!
4520We''ll be like this again? ” she whispered.
4520We''re all as right as ninepence-- what?
4520We''re all right, are n''t we? ” he said loudly, turning to the stranger with a grin that showed his pointed teeth.
4520We''re the only sober couple in the bunch-- what? ” cried Jim.
4520We''ve got to accept the power motive, accept it in deep responsibility, do you understand me?
4520Well now, and what next?
4520Well now, it''ll be all right if I come up for a minute?
4520Well, how are you?
4520Well, then, what next?
4520Well, well, might do worse.--Is it all right? ” Lilly eyed the suit.
4520Well-- shall we join the ladies?
4520What a nice name! ” “ No better than yours, is it? ” “ Mine!
4520What about him?
4520What are you thinking? ” “ Nothing.
4520What did he clutch the castle- keys so tight for?
4520What did they see when they looked at him?
4520What did you say the address was?
4520What did you say? ” said Francis, leaning forward.
4520What difference did it make, anyhow?
4520What do you care whether you see anybody again or not?
4520What do you make of this this- or- nothing business?
4520What do you say to whiskey and soda, Colonel? ” “ Why, delighted, Sir William, ” said the Colonel, bouncing up.
4520What do you say, Major? ” “ She has all the airs of one, Sir William, ” said the Major, with the wistful grimness of his age and culture.
4520What do you think of him? ” “ He seems sharp, ” said Aaron.
4520What do you want to poke yourself and prod yourself into love, for? ” “ Because I''m DEAD without it.
4520What do you want with more than one master?
4520What do you want? ” “ Why, I keep saying I want to get married and feel sure of something.
4520What does any man?
4520What does he scheme for?--What does he contrive for?
4520What else do you give?
4520What else is there to it? ” Aaron sounded testy.
4520What exactly brought you? ” “ Accident, ” said Aaron.
4520What have n''t they to fight for? ” cried Josephine fiercely.
4520What have you come for? ” “ To look at YOU, ” he said sarcastically.
4520What if I do?
4520What is TO CHEAP? ” “ Cheep!
4520What is it a woman who allows me, and who has no answer?
4520What is it? ” “ To make more money for the firm-- and so make his own chance of a rise better. ” The landlady was baffled for some moments.
4520What is there to care about? ” said the Colonel.
4520What liqueurs have you got? ” demanded Angus abruptly.
4520What makes a child be born out of its mother to the pain and trouble of both of them?
4520What pictures did you look at? ” “ I was with Dekker.
4520What should he do?
4520What should you say, Jimmy? ” she turned to one of the men.
4520What sort of urge is your urge?
4520What time is it, Manfredi? ” “ Half past six.
4520What was it in her face that puzzled him?
4520What was it?
4520What was she going to ask of him?
4520What was there in the female will so diabolical, he asked himself, that it could press like a flat sheet of iron against a man all the time?
4520What was there instead?
4520What were the shots? ” Aaron asked him.
4520What will this beauty be? ” With finicky fingers she removed the newspaper.
4520What would the world be like if everybody lived that way? ” “ Other people can please themselves, ” said Aaron.
4520What''s a soul, to them--? ” “ What is it to you, is perhaps the more pertinent question, ” said Algy, flapping his eyelids like some crazy owl.
4520What''s his education for?
4520What''s the good of running after life, when we''ve got it in us, if nobody prevents us and obstructs us? ” Aaron felt very queer.
4520What''s the objection? ” asked Struthers.
4520What''s this?--What''s this?
4520What''s your drink? ” “ Mine-- whiskey, ” said Aaron.
4520What?
4520What?
4520What?
4520What?
4520What? ” “ Yes, I think he''s rather nice, ” said Tanny.
4520What_ did_ she mean?
4520Whe''to?
4520When are you coming to dine with me? ” “ After you''ve dined with us-- say the day after tomorrow. ” “ Right you are.
4520When shall we make it? ” he asked.
4520When they had gone, he asked: “ Where is Manfredi? ” “ He will come in soon.
4520When will they learn wisdom? ” “ But what do you call wisdom? ” asked Sherardy, the Hindu.
4520When will they learn wisdom? ” “ But what do you call wisdom? ” asked Sherardy, the Hindu.
4520Where are you going? ” “ Malta. ” “ Malta!
4520Where d''you want to go? ” he heard the hearty tones of the policeman.
4520Where did he live?
4520Where should we be without it? ” Lilly started, went stiff and hostile.
4520Where would their money be otherwise?
4520Where you go?
4520Where''s that--? ” “ Oh, it''s on the map. ” There was a little lull.
4520Where? ” cried Julia.
4520Who have you got sitting up with her?
4520Who was she, what was she?
4520Who? ” they cried.
4520Why break every tie?
4520Why ca n''t they submit to a bit of healthy individual authority?
4520Why ca n''t you gather yourself there? ” “ At the tail? ” “ Yes.
4520Why ca n''t you gather yourself there? ” “ At the tail? ” “ Yes.
4520Why do n''t you be more like the Japanese you talk about?
4520Why do you ask? ” “ I was n''t thinking. ” “ But what do you mean?
4520Why do you ask? ” “ I was n''t thinking. ” “ But what do you mean?
4520Why do you want so badly to be loved? ” “ Because I like it, damn you, ” barked Jim.
4520Why give yourself away, anyhow?
4520Why go forward into more nothingness, away from all that he knew, all he was accustomed to and all he belonged to?
4520Why has n''t this man been taken to the Clearing Station?''
4520Why have you come back to me?
4520Why is it, do you think, that English people abroad go so very QUEER-- so ultra- English-- INCREDIBLE!--and at the same time so perfectly impossible?
4520Why is it? ” “ Shall I say what I think?
4520Why is it? ” “ Shall I say what I think?
4520Why not come with us to Florence? ” said Francis.
4520Why not flower again?
4520Why not remain an infant? ” “ Be damned and blasted to women and all their importances, ” cried Aaron.
4520Why not try and love somebody? ” Jim eyed her narrowly.
4520Why not?
4520Why not?
4520Why not? ” “ If it''s going to, it will, ” said Aaron.
4520Why should I know? ” “ But we must know: especially when other people will be hurt, ” said she.
4520Why should I?
4520Why should I?
4520Why should it?
4520Why should n''t he want to move?
4520Why should you hesitate? ” “ All right, then, ” said Aaron, not without some feeling of constraint.
4520Why were their haunches so prominent?
4520Why when we were in London-- when we were at lunch one morning it suddenly struck me, have n''t I left my fur cloak somewhere?
4520Why, is he in Venice?
4520Why, ten francs a day, you know, pension-- if you stay-- How long will you stay? ” “ At least a month, I expect. ” “ A month!
4520Why?
4520Why?
4520Why?
4520Why?
4520Why? ” They stepped down in the darkness from their perch.
4520Why? ” “ Looking at them even.
4520Why? ” “ You seem to. ” “ Do I?
4520Why? ” “ You seem to. ” “ Do I?
4520Will he never heed?
4520Will he never understand? ” he thought.
4520Will that suit you?
4520Will you come tomorrow? ” Aaron said he would on Monday.
4520Will you do it for us now, and let us see what it is like?''
4520Will you play? ” “ I should love to, ” replied the husband.
4520Will you sit? ” “ Can I have a room? ” said Aaron.
4520Will you sit? ” “ Can I have a room? ” said Aaron.
4520Will you smoke?
4520Will you? ” “ I thought you hated accompaniments. ” “ Oh, no-- not just unison.
4520Wine?
4520Wo n''t they be awfully bothered?
4520Wo n''t they fight for that? ” Aaron sat smiling, slowly shaking his head.
4520Wo n''t you give us hope that it might be so? ” “ I''ve no idea, either, ” said she.
4520Wo n''t you smoke? ” The strange, naked, remote- seeming voice!
4520Wonderful person, to be able to do it. ” “ Where has he gone? ” said Aaron.
4520Would you have us make money?
4520Would you like to play for us some time, do you think? ” “ Do you want me to?
4520Would you like to play for us some time, do you think? ” “ Do you want me to?
4520Would you? ” Aaron lay still, and did not answer.
4520Yes, ten francs a day. ” “ For everything? ” “ Everything.
4520Yes, that. ” “ And you could n''t go back? ” Aaron shook his head.
4520Yes, you can. ” “ What terms? ” “ Terms!
4520Yes-- well!-- Well-- now, why are you going away? ” “ For a change, ” said Lilly.
4520Yes-- what did he believe in, besides money?
4520Yes?
4520Yes? ” Aaron promised-- and then he found himself in the street.
4520Yes? ” said the doctor.
4520Yet I find_ Kovantchina_, which is all mass music practically, gives me more satisfaction than any other opera. ” “ Do you really?
4520Yet what could be more conspicuous than this elegant pair, picking their way through the cabbage- leaves?
4520You are?
4520You ca n''t really be alone. ” “ No matter how many mistakes you''ve made-- you ca n''t really be alone--? ” asked Lilly.
4520You come straight from England? ” Sir William held out his hand courteously and benevolently, smiling an old man''s smile of hospitality.
4520You do n''t want me to say things, do you? ” he said.
4520You know that you have got an urge, do n''t you? ” “ Yes-- ” rather unwillingly Aaron admitted it.
4520You talk, and you make a man believe you''ve got something he has n''t got?
4520You thought her a pretty woman, yes? ” “ No-- not particularly pretty.
4520You wo n''t believe you''re right in the way of traffic, will you now, in Covent Garden Market?
4520You wo n''t go down?
4520You yourself have no definite goal? ” “ No. ” “ Ah!
4520You''d find it rather domestic. ” “ Where do you live? ” “ Rather far out now-- Amersham. ” “ Amersham?
4520You''d find it rather domestic. ” “ Where do you live? ” “ Rather far out now-- Amersham. ” “ Amersham?
4520You''d like a wash? ” But Jim had already opened his bag, taken off his coat, and put on an old one.
4520You''ll be the same there as you are here. ” “ How am I here? ” “ Why, you''re all the time grinding yourself against something inside you.
4520You''ll come in, wo n''t you? ” Aaron nodded rather stupidly and testily.
4520You''re a comic. ” “ Am I though? ” said Jim.
4520You''re a married man, are n''t you? ” The sardonic look of the stranger rested on the subaltern.
4520You''re awfully lucky, you know, to be able to pour yourself down your flute. ” “ You think I go down easy? ” he laughed.
4520You''re quite sure now?
4520You''ve got a love- urge that urges you to God; have you?
4520You''ve got a permanent job? ” asked Josephine.
4520_ Egoisme a deux_-- ” “ What''s that mean? ” “_ Egoisme a deux_?
4520_ Egoisme a deux_-- ” “ What''s that mean? ” “_ Egoisme a deux_?
4520_ Siamo nel paradiso_, remember. ” “ But why should we drink your whiskey?
4520“ A little Bovril? ” The same faint shake.
4520“ A man ca n''t live, ” said the Italian, “ without an object. ” “ Well-- and that object? ” said Lilly.
4520“ A whiskey and soda, Lilly?
4520“ Act? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Ah, my dear fellow, are you still so young and callow that you cherish the illusion of fair play? ” said Argyle.
4520“ All right, I think. ” “ But you''ve been back to them? ” cried Josephine in dismay.
4520“ Always seeking a friend-- and always a new one? ” “ If I lose the friend I''ve got.
4520“ Am I? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Am I? ” she smiled.
4520“ And I''ll come to you.--Shall I come in fifteen minutes? ” She looked at him with strange, slow dark eyes.
4520“ And can you find two men to stick together, without feeling criminal, and without cringing, and without betraying one another?
4520“ And do you send her money? ” she asked.
4520“ And me? ” “ You''ll have to live without a rod, meanwhile. ” To which pleasant remark Aaron made no reply.
4520“ And never finding? ” said Lilly, laughing.
4520“ And so the war hardly affected you?
4520“ And so, Mr. Sisson, you have no definite purpose in coming to Italy? ” “ No, none, ” said Aaron.
4520“ And stay how long? ” “ Oh-- as long as it lasts, ” said Robert again.
4520“ And then what? ” “ Nay, ” interrupted Aaron.
4520“ And what are they going to do about Job Arthur Freer?
4520“ And what are you going to do in Florence? ” asked Argyle.
4520“ And what good will Malta do you? ” he asked, envious.
4520“ And what''s your way out? ” Aaron asked him.
4520“ And where are you bound, Mr. Sisson?
4520“ And where? ” Again she was silent for some moments, as if struggling with herself.
4520“ And who SHOULD have the money, indeed, if not your wives?
4520“ And who knows what you''ve been doing all these months? ” she wept.
4520“ And whom shall I submit to? ” he said.
4520“ And will you sing? ” he answered.
4520“ And yours, Lilly? ” asked the Marchese anxiously.
4520“ Anyhow, ” he said at length, “ you''ll come, wo n''t you?
4520“ Anything you wanted? ” repeated Robert, military, rather peremptory.
4520“ Are n''t we perfectly satisfied and in bliss with the wonderful women who honour us as wives? ” “ Ah, yes, yes! ” said the Marchese.
4520“ Are we to let t''other side run off wi''th''bone, then, while we sit on our stunts an''yowl for it? ” asked Brewitt.
4520“ Are you a miner? ” Robert asked,_ de haute en bas_.
4520“ Are you a socialist? ” asked Levison.
4520“ Are you going out, Father? ” she said.
4520“ Are you here by yourself? ” asked the sick man.
4520“ Are you? ” persisted the child, balancing on one foot.
4520“ Ay, an''what''s the purpose of his life? ” insisted Aaron Sisson.
4520“ Ay, what? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Being yourself-- what does it mean? ” “ To me, everything. ” “ And to most folks, nothing.
4520“ Beldover? ” inquired Robert.
4520“ Besides, Aaron, ” said Lilly, drinking his last sip of wine, “ what do you care whether you see me again or not?
4520“ But DO you want to be with Scott, out and out, or DON''T you? ” said Lilly.
4520“ But I do n''t know why you talk about him. ” “ Is he inexperienced, Josephine dear?
4520“ But I''m not personal at all, am I, Mr. Bricknell? ” said Tanny.
4520“ But ca n''t there be a balancing of wills? ” said Lilly.
4520“ But do you think I might--? ” said Francis moodily.
4520“ But do you think it''s true what he says?
4520“ But does it matter? ” said Lilly slowly, “ in which of you the desire initiates?
4520“ But does it matter? ” said Lilly slowly, “ in which of you the desire initiates?
4520“ But for how long will you settle down--? ” he asked.
4520“ But have you anything to take you to Venice?
4520“ But how can I live in Italy? ” he said.
4520“ But is n''t it? ” she persisted.
4520“ But people always turn up. ” “ And then next year, what will you do? ” “ Who knows?
4520“ But people always turn up. ” “ And then next year, what will you do? ” “ Who knows?
4520“ But that''s not really how you take it? ” she said.
4520“ But was n''t it an extraordinary affair? ” “ Very, ” said Aaron.
4520“ But we can be friends, ca n''t we? ” he said.
4520“ But what can have brought you to such a disastrous decision? ” “ I ca n''t say, ” she replied, with a little laugh.
4520“ But what difference does it make, ” said Aaron Sisson, “ whether they govern themselves or not?
4520“ But what do you really think will happen to the world? ” Lilly asked Jim, amid much talk.
4520“ But what''s the good of going to Malta?
4520“ But where is YOUR SEAT? ” cried Francis, peering into the packed and jammed compartments of the third class.
4520“ But why ca n''t man accept it as the natural order of things? ” said Lilly.
4520“ But why not?
4520“ But why should it?
4520“ But why?
4520“ But why?
4520“ But why? ” said Josephine.
4520“ But wo n''t you come and have coffee with us at our table? ” said Francis.
4520“ But you do n''t want to get away from EVERYTHING, do you?
4520“ But you must earn money, must n''t you? ” said she.
4520“ But you''ll let us do that again, wo n''t you? ” said she.
4520“ But you''re going home to them, are n''t you? ” said Josephine, in whose eyes the tears had already risen.
4520“ But, Josephine, ” said Robert, “ do n''t you think we''ve had enough of that sort of thing in the war?
4520“ Ca n''t you break it? ” “ Yes, if you hit it with a hammer, ” he said.
4520“ Ca n''t you rouse his spirit?
4520“ Ca n''t you settle down to something?--to a job, for instance? ” “ I''ve not found the job I could settle down to, yet, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Can I come up and have a chat? ” “ I''ve got that man who''s had flu.
4520“ Can I have a room? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Christmas- tree candles, and toffee. ” “ For the little children?
4520“ Cigarette, Julia? ” said Robert to his wife.
4520“ DO you agree, Mr. Sisson? ” said the Marchesa.
4520“ Did YOU leave the parlour door open? ” she asked of Millicent, suspiciously.
4520“ Did you ever intend to marry Jim Bricknell? ” he asked.
4520“ Did you ever keep count? ” Tanny persisted.
4520“ Did you indeed?
4520“ Did you see the row yesterday? ” asked Levison.
4520“ Did you want anything? ” Robert enquired once more.
4520“ Did you want anything? ” asked Robert, from behind the light.
4520“ Do n''t I?
4520“ Do n''t you agree? ” He turned wolfishly to Clariss.
4520“ Do they?--Don''t you think it''s nice of them? ” she said, gently removing her hand from his.
4520“ Do you believe in them less than I do, Aaron? ” he asked slowly.
4520“ Do you feel ill, Sisson? ” he said sharply.
4520“ Do you feel quite well? ” Josephine asked him.
4520“ Do you find it a tight squeeze, then? ” she said, turning to Aaron once more.
4520“ Do you find it so? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Do you find this room very cold? ” she asked of Aaron.
4520“ Do you hate the normal British as much as I do? ” she asked him.
4520“ Do you know how vilely you''ve treated me? ” she said, staring across the space at him.
4520“ Do you love playing? ” she asked him.
4520“ Do you mean that, Aaron? ” he said, looking into Aaron''s face with a hard, inflexible look.
4520“ Do you mean to say you do n''t MEAN what you''ve been saying? ” said Levison, now really looking angry.
4520“ Do you recognise anyone in the orchestra? ” she asked.
4520“ Do you see anybody we know, Josephine? ” she asked.
4520“ Do you see signs of the old maid coming out in me?
4520“ Do you seek nothing? ” “ We married men who have n''t left our wives, are we supposed to seek anything? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Do you seek nothing? ” “ We married men who have n''t left our wives, are we supposed to seek anything? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Do you think so, my dear? ” said the old man, with his eternal smile: the curious smile of old people when they are dead.
4520“ Do you think so? ” he answered.
4520“ Do you think you''re wise now, ” he said, “ to sit in that sun? ” “ In November? ” laughed Lilly.
4520“ Do you think you''re wise now, ” he said, “ to sit in that sun? ” “ In November? ” laughed Lilly.
4520“ Do you think, Lilly, that we''re the world? ” said Robert ironically.
4520“ Do you want to be believed? ” “ No, I do n''t care a straw.
4520“ Do you, Aaron? ” “ I do n''t WANT to, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Do you? ” said Lady Franks.
4520“ Does a man care? ” “ He might. ” “ Then he''s no man. ” “ Thanks again, old fellow. ” “ Welcome, ” said Lilly, grimacing.
4520“ Does he seek another woman? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Does it? ” asked Lilly of the Marchese.
4520“ Does n''t SHE love you? ” said Aaron to Jim amused, indicating Josephine.
4520“ Does n''t it go more here? ” “ No no, no no, not at all.
4520“ Eh--? ” and Jim stooped, grinning at the smaller man.
4520“ Eh?
4520“ Eh?
4520“ Eh? ” Aaron looked up.
4520“ Eh? ” “ Are you going out? ” She twisted nervously.
4520“ Eh? ” “ Are you going out? ” She twisted nervously.
4520“ Enough of what? ” she said.
4520“ Er-- what bed do you propose to put him in? ” asked Robert rather officer- like.
4520“ Father, shall you set the Christmas Tree? ” they cried.
4520“ Give him time. ” “ Is he also afraid-- like Alcibiades? ” “ Are you, Aaron? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Give him time. ” “ Is he also afraid-- like Alcibiades? ” “ Are you, Aaron? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Glad to see you-- well, everything all right?
4520“ Go up there? ” said Aaron, pointing.
4520“ Have a drink, Josephine? ” said Robert.
4520“ Have another? ” said Jim, who was attending fixedly, with curious absorption, to the stranger.
4520“ Have n''t I?
4520“ Have n''t you got the music? ” She rose, not answering, and found him a little book.
4520“ Have one? ” Aaron shook his head, and Jim did not press him.
4520“ Have you got any Christmas- tree candles? ” he asked as he entered the shop.
4520“ Have you noticed it? ” “ No, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Have you really broken your engagement with Jim? ” shrilled Tanny in a high voice, as the train roared.
4520“ Have you? ” He lifted his head and looked at her.
4520“ He wants Julia to go down and stay. ” “ Is she going? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Help him up to my room, will you? ” he said to the constable.
4520“ How are you, darling? ” she asked.
4520“ How are your wife and children? ” she asked spitefully.
4520“ How do I look, eh?
4520“ How do you come here? ” “ I play the flute, ” he answered, as he shook hands.
4520“ How do you do?
4520“ How do you like Lilly?
4520“ How do you like being in London? ” “ I like London, ” said Aaron.
4520“ How is everybody? ” asked Tanny.
4520“ How is the night? ” she said, as if to change the whole feeling in the room.
4520“ How long ha''you been married?
4520“ How lovely for you!--And when will you go to Norway, Tanny? ” “ In about a month, ” said Tanny.
4520“ How many children have you? ” sang Julia from her distance.
4520“ How many do you want? ” he said.
4520“ How many do you want? ” “ A dozen. ” “ Ca n''t let you have a dozen.
4520“ How much? ” said Aaron to the driver.
4520“ How old are you? ” “ I''m twenty- five.
4520“ How shall you escape it? ” said Levison.
4520“ How strange!--Why is it burning now? ” “ It always burns, unfortunately-- it is most consistent at it.
4520“ How''s that? ” “ Why, because, in a way the people of India have an easier time even than the people of England.
4520“ How, act? ” “ Why, defy the government, and take things in their own hands, ” said Josephine.
4520“ How--? ” she said, with a sudden grunting, unhappy laugh.
4520“ How? ” “ You can live by your writing-- but I''ve got to have a job. ” “ Is that all? ” said Lilly.
4520“ How? ” “ You can live by your writing-- but I''ve got to have a job. ” “ Is that all? ” said Lilly.
4520“ I could n''t make it out, could you? ” “ Oh, ” cried Francis.
4520“ I do n''t even want to believe in them. ” “ But in yourself? ” Lilly was almost wistful-- and Aaron uneasy.
4520“ I do n''t know why I cry. ” “ You can cry for nothing, ca n''t you? ” he said.
4520“ I hope personification is right.--Ought to be_ allegory_ or something else? ” This from Clariss to Robert.
4520“ I say, do you hear the bells? ” said Robert, poking his head into the room.
4520“ I say, ” said Robert suddenly, from the rear--“anybody have a drink?
4520“ I suddenly saw that if there was a man in England who could save me, it was you. ” “ Save you from what? ” asked Lilly, rather abashed.
4520“ I suppose so. ” “ And why? ” she cried.
4520“ I think I''ll retire. ” “ Will you? ” said Julia, also rising.
4520“ I think they''re anything but angels. ” “ Do you though?
4520“ I went to the Uffizi. ” “ To the Uffizi?
4520“ I wish I were in the country, do n''t you?
4520“ I wonder what he''s doing here. ” “ Do n''t you think we might ASK him? ” said Francis, in a vehement whisper.
4520“ I wonder what will become of him-- ” “--Of the one who climbed for the flag, you mean?
4520“ I''m not so late, am I? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ I''ve been awfully bored. ” “ Have you? ” grinned Jim.
4520“ I''ve got it now in my overcoat pocket, ” he said, “ if you like. ” “ Have you?
4520“ I''ve nothing to lose. ” “ And were you surprised, Lilly, to find your friend here? ” asked Del Torre.
4520“ If childhood is more important than manhood, then why live to be a man at all?
4520“ If it is a good government, doctor, how can it be so bad for the people? ” said the landlady.
4520“ Is Mr. Lilly here?
4520“ Is it pretty much the same out there in India? ” he asked of the doctor, suddenly.
4520“ Is it that man Aaron Sisson? ” asked Robert.
4520“ Is it true for you? ” “ Nearly, ” said Aaron, looking into the quiet, half- amused, yet frightening eyes of the other man.
4520“ Is it very heavy? ” asked Millicent.
4520“ Is music your line as well, then? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ Is n''t it nasty? ” she said.
4520“ Is n''t there a lift in this establishment? ” he said, as he groped his way up the stone stairs.
4520“ Is n''t there something we could do to while the time away? ” Everybody suddenly laughed-- it sounded so remote and absurd.
4520“ Is that your flute? ” asked Lilly.
4520“ It IS he? ” said Josephine quietly, meeting Jim''s eye.
4520“ It IS the chap-- What? ” he exclaimed excitedly, looking round at his friends.
4520“ It was, was n''t it? ” she said, turning a wondering, glowing face to him.
4520“ It''ll do tomorrow morning, wo n''t it? ” he asked rather mocking.
4520“ It''s what chickens say when they''re poking their little noses into new adventures-- naughty ones. ” “ Are chickens naughty?
4520“ Jolly-- eh? ” said Jim.
4520“ Keb?
4520“ Leave a message for you, Sir? ” Lilly wrote his address on a card, then changed his mind.
4520“ Let''s, everybody-- let''s. ” “ Shall we really? ” asked Robert.
4520“ Like me to tuck the sheets round you, should n''t you?
4520“ Look, Father, do n''t you love it! ” “ Love it? ” he re- echoed, ironical over the word love.
4520“ Look, Mother, is n''t it a beauty? ” “ Mind the ring does n''t come out, ” said her mother.
4520“ Make haste and get better, and we''ll go. ” “ Where? ” said Aaron.
4520“ May I stay till Monday morning? ” said Aaron.
4520“ May he not be Guest? ” he asked, fatherly.
4520“ Me?
4520“ Me?
4520“ Me?
4520“ Me? ” he said.
4520“ Me? ” he said.
4520“ Me? ” said Sisson.
4520“ Mind if I stay till Saturday? ” There was a pause.
4520“ Must it be bloody, Josephine? ” said Robert.
4520“ My dear fellow, the only hope of salvation for the world lies in the re- institution of slavery. ” “ What kind of slavery? ” asked Levison.
4520“ My hat and coat? ” he said to Lilly.
4520“ No, I like to have it in my bedroom. ” “ You do n''t eat bread in the night? ” said Lilly.
4520“ No, I want none of that. ” “ Then--? ” But now she sat gazing on him with wide, heavy, incomprehensible eyes.
4520“ No-- I do n''t mind it. ” “ Do you feel at home in Florence? ” Aaron asked her.
4520“ No-- where''s the loaf? ” And he cut himself about half of it.
4520“ Not asleep?
4520“ Not good, eh?
4520“ Not that you loved any other woman? ” “ God save me from it. ” “ You just left off loving? ” “ Not even that.
4520“ Not that you loved any other woman? ” “ God save me from it. ” “ You just left off loving? ” “ Not even that.
4520“ Now Marchesa-- might we hope for a song? ” “ No-- I do n''t sing any more, ” came the slow, contralto reply.
4520“ Now then--_siamo nel paradiso_, eh?
4520“ Now? ” he said.
4520“ Now? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Of what?
4520“ Oh, what would you?
4520“ Or what, then? ” “ Or anything.
4520“ Please do take another-- but perhaps you do n''t like mushrooms? ” Aaron quite liked mushrooms, and helped himself to the_ entree_.
4520“ Robert is so happy with all the good things-- aren''t you dear? ” she sang, breaking into a hurried laugh.
4520“ Shall I go away? ” he said at length.
4520“ Shall I? ” she said.
4520“ Shall we be lovers? ” came his voice once more, with the faintest touch of irony.
4520“ Shall we be lovers? ” he said.
4520“ Shall we go into the sala and have real music?
4520“ Shall we illuminate one of the fir- trees by the lawn? ” “ Yes!
4520“ Shall we listen to it for a minute? ” She led him across the grass past the shrubs to the big tree in the centre.
4520“ She does n''t love me. ” “ Is that true? ” asked Robert hastily, of Josephine.
4520“ Sir William Franks? ” said Aaron.
4520“ So you feel you have no country of your own? ” “ I have Italy.
4520“ Stay all night? ” he said.
4520“ Tell me, ” said Francis, “ will you have your coffee black, or with milk? ” He was determined to restore a tone of sobriety.
4520“ Thank goodness the Italians are better than they used to be. ” “ Are they better than they used to be? ” “ Oh, much.
4520“ That goes much lower down-- about here. ” “ Are you sure? ” said Lady Franks.
4520“ That man''s sitting in it. ” “ Which? ” cried Francis, indignant.
4520“ That''s how it looks on the face of it, is n''t it? ” he said.
4520“ That''s the chap. ” “ Who?
4520“ The nearest? ” said the policeman.
4520“ Then it''s no engagement? ” said Robert.
4520“ Then upon what grounds did you abandon your family?
4520“ Then what''s the use of going somewhere else?
4520“ Then who would be the masters?--the professional classes, doctors and lawyers and so on? ” “ What?
4520“ Then who would be the masters?--the professional classes, doctors and lawyers and so on? ” “ What?
4520“ Then will you come and have dinner with us--? ” Francis fixed up the time and the place-- a small restaurant at the other end of the town.
4520“ Then wo n''t you come on-- let me see-- on Wednesday?
4520“ There now, is n''t it handsome?
4520“ They''re old-- older than the Old Man of the Seas, sometimes, are n''t they?
4520“ Think they have? ” he laughed.
4520“ Three. ” “ Girls or boys? ” “ Girls. ” “ All girls?
4520“ Three. ” “ Girls or boys? ” “ Girls. ” “ All girls?
4520“ To see her people?
4520“ To whom? ” said Lilly.
4520“ We are sure to run across one another. ” “ When are you going? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ We might begin to be ourselves, anyhow. ” “ And what does that mean? ” said Aaron.
4520“ We''re so happy in a land of plenty, AREN''T WE DEAR? ” “ Do you mean I''m greedy, Julia? ” said Robert.
4520“ We''re so happy in a land of plenty, AREN''T WE DEAR? ” “ Do you mean I''m greedy, Julia? ” said Robert.
4520“ We''ve got one! ” “ Afore I have my dinner? ” he answered amiably.
4520“ Well now, what do you base your opinion on? ” Mr. French gave various bases for his opinion.
4520“ Well then, what is it?
4520“ Well, and how have you spent your morning? ” asked the host.
4520“ Well, and what have you been doing with yourself? ” said he.
4520“ Well, then, Angus-- suppose we do that, then?--When shall we start? ” Angus was the nervous insister.
4520“ Well, then, ” said Francis, “ you will be in to lunch here, wo n''t you?
4520“ Well, then?
4520“ Well, who AM I to think of? ” she asked.
4520“ Well, ” he said, “ you''ve got men and nations, and you''ve got the machines of war-- so how are you going to get out of it?
4520“ Well, ” said Argyle, “ what have you been doing with yourself, eh?
4520“ Well, ” said the little Hindu doctor, “ and how are things going now, with the men? ” “ The same as ever, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Well-- shall I say?
4520“ Were you on your way home? ” asked Robert, huffy.
4520“ What SHOULD I drink? ” said Aaron, whose acquaintance with wines was not very large.
4520“ What about it, then? ” asked Aaron.
4520“ What about the bridegroom, Algy, my boy?
4520“ What about the wife and kiddies?
4520“ What about the wife? ” said Robert-- the young lieutenant.
4520“ What am I going to do this winter, do you think? ” Aaron asked.
4520“ What am I to put it in? ” he queried.
4520“ What are you bothering about? ” he said.
4520“ What are you doing today? ” Aaron was not doing anything in particular.
4520“ What are you going to do about your move on? ” “ Me! ” said Lilly.
4520“ What becomes of me?
4520“ What ca n''t you? ” “ Choose.
4520“ What did you do yesterday? ” “ Yesterday? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What did you do yesterday? ” “ Yesterday? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What do I call the common good? ” repeated the landlady.
4520“ What do I call wisdom? ” repeated the landlady.
4520“ What do YOU care for? ” asked Lilly.
4520“ What do YOU think, Josephine? ” asked Lilly.
4520“ What do the words mean? ” he asked her.
4520“ What do you make of the miners? ” said Jim, suddenly taking a new line.
4520“ What do you make of''em, eh? ” he said.
4520“ What do you reckon stars are? ” asked the sepulchral voice of Jim.
4520“ What do you want to do? ” “ Nay, that''s what I want to know. ” “ Do you want anything?
4520“ What do you want to do? ” “ Nay, that''s what I want to know. ” “ Do you want anything?
4520“ What do you want to know for? ” He made no other answer, and turned again to the music.
4520“ What do you want to see in me? ” he asked, with a smile, looking steadily back again.
4520“ What does he do? ” “ Writes-- stories and plays. ” “ And makes it pay? ” “ Hardly at all.--They want us to go.
4520“ What does he do? ” “ Writes-- stories and plays. ” “ And makes it pay? ” “ Hardly at all.--They want us to go.
4520“ What else could I tell them?
4520“ What gives you such a belly- ache for love, Jim? ” said Lilly, “ or for being loved?
4520“ What gives you such a belly- ache for love, Jim? ” said Lilly, “ or for being loved?
4520“ What have I been able to say to the children-- what have I been able to tell them? ” “ What HAVE you told them? ” he asked coldly.
4520“ What have I been able to say to the children-- what have I been able to tell them? ” “ What HAVE you told them? ” he asked coldly.
4520“ What have they to fight for? ” “ Why, everything!
4520“ What have you come for? ” she cried again, with a voice full of hate.
4520“ What have you come here for? ” His soul went black as he looked at her.
4520“ What have you had enough of?
4520“ What have you to do this morning? ” she asked him.
4520“ What is cheap, please?
4520“ What is it on the clock? ” The taxi was paid, the two men went upstairs.
4520“ What is it? ” cried Julia.
4520“ What is it? ” he asked.
4520“ What is it? ” he said, to a rather sniffy messenger boy.
4520“ What is that light burning?
4520“ What is the difference then between you and me, Lilly? ” he said.
4520“ What is there to say? ” ejaculated Lilly rapidly, with a spoonful of breath which he managed to compress and control into speech.
4520“ What is there to talk about? ” “ Usually there''s so much, ” she said sarcastically.
4520“ What makes you think so? ” “ Circumstances, ” replied Aaron sourly.
4520“ What sort? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What the hell do you take that beastly personal tone for? ” cried Lilly at Tanny, as the three sat under a leafless great beech- tree.
4520“ What time is Manfredi coming back? ” said he.
4520“ What train? ” said Arthur.
4520“ What was it?
4520“ What was it? ” It was the socialists.
4520“ What was the interesting topic? ” he said cuttingly.
4520“ What were they on about today, then? ” she said.
4520“ What will Robert do? ” “ Have a shot at Josephine, apparently. ” “ Really?
4520“ What will Robert do? ” “ Have a shot at Josephine, apparently. ” “ Really?
4520“ What would you like to drink?
4520“ What you give-- he?
4520“ What''re you laughing at? ” repeated Aaron.
4520“ What''s amiss? ” said Aaron Sisson, breaking this spell.
4520“ What''s her name? ” “ Mrs.
4520“ What''s that?--What would be romantic? ” said Jim as he lurched up and caught hold of Cyril Scott''s arm.
4520“ What''s the good of that? ” he said irritably.
4520“ What''s the matter with the fellow? ” he said.
4520“ What''s tomorrow? ” said Jim.
4520“ What, do n''t you think they''re wonderful? ” “ No.
4520“ What?
4520“ What?
4520“ What?
4520“ What? ” said Aaron, looking up.
4520“ What? ” “ Afraid of spoiling your beauty by screwing your mouth to the flute? ” “ I look a fool, do I, when I''m playing? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What? ” “ Afraid of spoiling your beauty by screwing your mouth to the flute? ” “ I look a fool, do I, when I''m playing? ” said Aaron.
4520“ What? ” “ Afraid of spoiling your beauty by screwing your mouth to the flute? ” “ I look a fool, do I, when I''m playing? ” said Aaron.
4520“ When are you going? ” he asked irritably, looking up at Lilly, whose face hovered in that green shadow above, and worried him.
4520“ When did I make that start, then? ” “ At some unmentionably young age.
4520“ When did you come to Florence? ” There was a little explanation.
4520“ Where are you going to have it? ” he called.
4520“ Where from? ” “ Watch Ireland, and watch Japan-- they''re the two poles of the world, ” said Jim.
4520“ Where is Scott to- night? ” asked Struthers.
4520“ Where is n''t it?
4520“ Where is there a doctor? ” he added, on reflection.
4520“ Where shall I come to you? ” he said.
4520“ Where shall I say? ” Lilly produced the map, and they decided on time and station at which Lois coming out of London, should meet Jim.
4520“ Where to? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Where were YOU all the time during the war? ” “ I was doing my job, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Where''s the beer? ” he asked, in deep tones, smiling full into Josephine''s face, as if she were going to produce it by some sleight of hand.
4520“ Where''s the wine list?
4520“ Where?
4520“ Which room? ” said the policeman, dubious.
4520“ Who knows all the vile things you''ve been doing?
4520“ Who threw the bomb? ” said Aaron.
4520“ Who''s your husband?
4520“ Who--?
4520“ Who? ” said Tanny.
4520“ Who? ” “ Those two who were here this evening. ” “ Miss Wade and Mr.
4520“ Why I left her? ” he said.
4520“ Why are n''t you satisfied? ” “ I''m not satisfied.
4520“ Why are you crying? ” he said.
4520“ Why are you such a baby? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Why do you have those people? ” he asked.
4520“ Why must you interfere? ” “ Because I intend to, ” said Lilly.
4520“ Why not carry it out-- eh?
4520“ Why not?
4520“ Why not? ” Both were watching blankly the roaring night of mid- London, the phantasmagoric old Bloomsbury Square.
4520“ Why not? ” replied Robert, answering for her.
4520“ Why not? ” “ I do n''t want to. ” “ Why not? ” she asked.
4520“ Why not? ” “ I do n''t want to. ” “ Why not? ” she asked.
4520“ Why not? ” “ It''s just my nature. ” “ Are you a seeker?
4520“ Why not? ” “ It''s just my nature. ” “ Are you a seeker?
4520“ Why should I? ” And she looked away into the restless hive of the theatre.
4520“ Why should n''t I? ” she persisted.
4520“ Why should n''t you be, anyhow? ” he said.
4520“ Why, have you left valuables in your overcoat? ” “ My flute, ” said Aaron.
4520“ Why, how do you mean, what sort?
4520“ Why, what more could a man want from life?
4520“ Why? ” she exclaimed.
4520“ Why? ” “ I know it.
4520“ Will he heed, will he heed? ” thought the anxious second self.
4520“ Will he never hear?
4520“ Will you be alone all winter? ” “ Just myself and Tanny, ” he answered.
4520“ Will you be leaving in the morning, Mr. Sisson? ” asked Lady Franks.
4520“ Will you come to dinner tomorrow evening? ” said his hostess to him as he was leaving.
4520“ Will you get the flute? ” she said as they entered.
4520“ Will you have supper? ” said Lilly.
4520“ Will you really come?
4520“ Will you stay to dinner? ” said the Marchesa.
4520“ Will you tell me why you left your wife and children?--Didn''t you love them? ” Aaron looked at the odd, round, dark muzzle of the girl.
4520“ Wo n''t it break? ” she persisted.
4520“ Wo n''t they be expecting you? ” said Robert, trying to keep his temper and his tone of authority.
4520“ Wo n''t you come and have a cocktail? ” she said.
4520“ Wo n''t you go home to them? ” she said, hysterical.
4520“ Wo n''t you kiss me? ” came her voice out of the darkness.
4520“ Wo n''t you let me try some accompaniment? ” said the soldier.
4520“ Wo n''t you stay? ” she said, in a small, muted voice.
4520“ Wo n''t you take off your coat? ” she said, looking at him with strange, large dark eyes.
4520“ Wo n''t you? ” “ Yes, ” he said quietly.
4520“ Would n''t you? ” he asked.
4520“ Would you like a little tea? ” “ Ay-- and a bit of toast. ” “ You''re not supposed to have solid food.
4520“ Would you like me to play it? ” he said.
4520“ Would you like tea or anything? ” Lilly asked.
4520“ Would you like to be wrapped in swaddling bands and laid at the breast? ” asked Lilly, disagreeably.
4520“ Would you like to see the room where we have music? ” he said.
4520“ Would you rather take a bus? ” she said in a high voice, because of the wind.
4520“ Would you rather? ” she said, keeping her face averted.
4520“ Yes, I prefer it. ” “ You like living all alone? ” “ I do n''t know about that.
4520“ Yes, and THEN WHAT? ” cried the landlady.
4520“ Yes, why not? ” said Tanny.
4520“ Yes-- shall you buy us some, Father?
4520“ Yes.--May I have another whiskey, please? ” She rose at once, powerfully energetic.
4520“ Yes? ” he said.
4520“ Yet you can give no reasons? ” “ Not any reasons that would be any good.
4520“ You agree? ” “ Yes, on the whole. ” “ So do I-- on the whole.
4520“ You are new in Florence? ” he said, as he presented the match.
4520“ You are sure it wo n''t be too much for you-- too far? ” said the little officer, taking his wife''s arm solicitously.
4520“ You believe in love, do n''t you? ” said Jim, sitting down near Aaron, and grinning at him.
4520“ You brought the flute? ” she said, in that toneless, melancholy, unstriving voice of hers.
4520“ You ca n''t REMEMBER us, can you? ” she asked.
4520“ You can take a sudden jump, ca n''t you? ” he said.
4520“ You did n''t expect me, then? ” “ Yes, oh, yes.
4520“ You do everything for yourself, then? ” said Aaron.
4520“ You do know, do n''t you? ” she insisted, still with the wistful appeal, and the veiled threat.
4520“ You do n''t mind if I play it, do you? ” he said.
4520“ You do n''t mind? ” “ No-- why-- It''s just as you see it.--Jim Bricknell''s a rare comic, to my eye. ” “ Oh, him!--no, not actually.
4520“ You do n''t want emotions?
4520“ You have n''t eaten?
4520“ You have n''t heard from your husband? ” he added.
4520“ You know what I mean-- ” “ You like your own company?
4520“ You know you''ve been wrong to me, do n''t you? ” she said, half wistfully, half menacing.
4520“ You mean the bird of your voice?
4520“ You seriously think so? ” said Miss Wade.
4520“ You want to stay? ” he said.
4520“ You wanted the book of_ chansons_? ” she said.
4520“ You will stay to dinner tonight, wo n''t you? ” she said.
4520“ You wo n''t forget our candles, will you, Father? ” asked Millicent, with assurance now.
4520“ You would n''t like me to wire to your wife? ” said Lilly.
4520“ You''ll come and have dinner with me-- or lunch-- will you?
4520“ You''ll eat a mince- pie in the kitchen with us, for luck? ” she said to him, detaining him till last.
4520“ You''ll go to bed, wo n''t you? ” said Lilly to Aaron, when the door was shut.
4520“ You''ll take another glass yourself, Sir? ” “ Yes, I will, I will.
4520“ You''re going in the morning? ” said Arthur.
4520“ You''re not offended, are you? ” he asked.
4520“ You''ve got a husband, have you? ” “ Rather!
4520“ You''ve known some life, have n''t you? ” he asked.
