35997Master Words for which people?
35997Must I never go there, Sahib?
35997Now what is this?
35997Now,said he,"in what manner was this wonderful thing done?"
35997Oh, it was you,said the mule,"you and your friends, that have been disturbing the camp?
35997Oho, Baloo, what dost thou do here? 35997 Or for a pledge?"
35997Rikki- tikki, you are not going to eat her eggs?
35997Sat down?
35997Shall I tell him of your gratitude?
35997Shall I turn them into the jungle?
35997Shall we run on?
35997So thou wilt take the hide to Khanhiwara for the reward, and perhaps give me one rupee? 35997 That''s another way of fighting, I suppose?"
35997The Red Flower?

35997Else why should he go hunting these wild devils?
35997For a young cobra?
35997For a young king- cobra?
35997For the last-- the very last of the brood?
35997Good- night, old Hay- bale!--try to control your feelings, wo n''t you?
35997Gray Brother, canst thou cut the herd in two for me?"
35997Hast thou ever heard me speak of the Bandar- log till to- day?"
35997Have I kept my word?"
35997Have you ever heard where she keeps her eggs?"
35997He may be asleep now, and even were he awake, what if he would rather kill his own goats?"
35997He must have been the one that flopped into my tent, for he called to the mule,"What shall I do?
35997He turned where he was lying all along on Pudmini''s back, and said,"What is that?
35997Hi, you yearling, where did you get that white coat?"
35997How can you do anything, unless you can spin round at once when the rein is pressed on your neck?
35997How''s a horse to keep his condition if he is n''t allowed to sleep?
35997How, then, shall I believe the tales of ghosts and gods and goblins which he says he has seen?"
35997How?
35997I suppose you fellows fight standing on your tails?"
35997Is it difficult?"
35997Is it not so?"
35997Is not that worth a little beating?"
35997Is the family of Toomai of the Elephants to be trodden underfoot in the dirt of a Keddah?
35997Is there any news of game afoot?
35997It is the jungle brat, is it?"
35997Keep him?
35997Little bamboos that creak together, tell me where he ran?
35997Little one, what is thy name?"
35997May I rise up and go away, or will thy servant tear me to pieces?"
35997Men will not make thee forget?"
35997Mowgli, hast thou anything to say?"
35997Must I keep order along the whole line?"
35997Nobody answered, and the troop- horse said, to change the conversation,"Where''s that little dog?
35997Now, was there ever a wolf that could boast of a man''s cub among her children?"
35997Now, where does he lie up?
35997Now, where has that nasty little beast gone to?"
35997Now, whither went they with thy cub?"
35997Now, with all this fine fancy business and rearing, which must be very bad for your hocks, what do you_ do_?"
35997Oh you in front, what is blocking the way?"
35997Oh, why does n''t some one take her away?
35997Shall we run on again?"
35997Sleepest thou still, Shere Khan?
35997The end nearest the wall, you said?"
35997There was a clamor of scores of voices, saying:"What matter?
35997Therefore I ask,''Who comes to make an end of the Lone Wolf?''
35997Therefore all the wild elephants to- night will-- but why should I waste wisdom on a river- turtle?"
35997They called me also--''yellow fish,''was it not?"
35997Two Tails, are you tied up?"
35997Two Tails, why are you afraid of the guns when they fire?"
35997Was it to help thee steal green corn from the roofs of the houses when the ears are put out to dry?"
35997Waters of the Waingunga, whither went Shere Khan?
35997Well, how was it, old Hay- bales?"
35997What am I to do?"
35997What dost thou know of softness, old Iron- feet?"
35997What harm can a naked frog do us?
35997What has a man to do with us?
35997What has a tiger to do with our leadership?"
35997What have the Free People to do with a man''s cub?"
35997What have the Free People to do with the orders of any save the Free People?
35997What have we to do with this toothless fool?
35997What is all this dancing up and down?"
35997What is it?"
35997What is that?
35997What is the meaning of this cattle- herding work?"
35997What is the use of running away?
35997What news of Shere Khan?"
35997What of the hunting, hunter bold?
35997What on earth''s the matter?"
35997What talk is this of choosing?
35997What would the jungle think if I, the Black Panther, curled myself up like Ikki, the Porcupine, and howled?"
35997What''s that?"
35997What''s the use of fighting?"
35997When a driver boasts of his skill and bravery the other drivers say,"And when didst_ thou_ see the elephants dance?"
35997When there were no people in the bungalow, did we have any mongoose in the garden?
35997Where did the buffaloes kill him?
35997Where is the bull, Bagheera?
35997Where is the manling?"
35997Where shall I go?
35997Where_ have_ you been?"
35997Who are we, the Gidur- log[ the Jackal People], to pick and choose?"
35997Who are you fellows on the ground there?"
35997Who are you?"
35997Who can trust the Bandar- log?
35997Who comes with me to the Sea Cow''s tunnel?
35997Who hath delivered us, who?
35997Who is Nag?"
35997Who speaks besides Baloo?"
35997Who''d have thought of two big lumps like those losing their heads?"
35997Who''s here?"
35997Why ca n''t people stay where they belong?"
35997Why did I not warn thee against the Monkey Folk instead of breaking thy head?
35997Why have I never been taken among the Monkey People?
35997Why should I be afraid?"
35997Why should I fear?
35997Why should Petersen Sahib have chosen_ me_ to go down with you donkeys of the rice- fields?
35997Why should not I eat birds?"
35997Why?
35997Why?
35997Why?
35997Why?
35997Why?
35997Wilt thou still keep him, Mother?"
35997Would n''t you like if your tails were--_so_-- Curved in the shape of a Cupid''s bow?
35997[ Illustration:"''ARE ALL THESE TALES SUCH COBWEBS AND MOONTALK?''
35997_ Brother, he crops in the jungle still._ Where is the power that made your pride?
35997_ Brother, it ebbs from my flank and side._ Where is the haste that ye hurry by?
35997_ Brother, the watch was long and cold._ What of the quarry ye went to kill?
35997said Petersen Sahib, smiling underneath his mustache,"and why didst thou teach thy elephant_ that_ trick?
11247''"I suppose, Lasalle,"said he,"that you have some gallant young officers in the Tenth?"
11247''A Frenchman, then?''
11247''A Polish nobleman?''
11247''Ah, Monsieur Gerard,''said he,''you are very curious, no doubt, as to the meaning of all this?''
11247''Ah, what is that?''
11247''Am I not a hussar, a brigadier, too, at the age of thirty- one, and the chosen messenger of the Emperor?''
11247''An ambassador?''
11247''And escaped without a scratch?''
11247''And for the sake of practice you insulted six fencing masters in the week before your duel?''
11247''And how did he die?''
11247''And me?''
11247''And never looked at the contents?''
11247''And perhaps fall a victim to your generosity?''
11247''And suppose I wo n''t?''
11247''And that is?''
11247''And the Countess of La Ronda as well?''
11247''And the game?''
11247''And the officer?''
11247''And the other escaped?''
11247''And these T''s stand for it?''
11247''And what did he say?''
11247''And why?''
11247''And why?''
11247''And why?''
11247''And with red hair?''
11247''And would it be an indiscretion,''I asked,''if I were to inquire how you came into the back cellar?''
11247''And you, Major Charpentier?''
11247''And you, Major?''
11247''And you?''
11247''And your wounds-- are they healed?''
11247''Any betting?''
11247''Any injuries, Sergeant?''
11247''Are we then expecting three champions of the Bourbons?''
11247''Banditti?''
11247''Besides, how am I to put the Bustler into the ring on Wednesday if he''s jugged by the beak for aidin''and abettin''a prisoner of war?
11247''Buried what, sire?''
11247''But before you buried him?''
11247''But my prisoner?''
11247''But now that the game is played and won, why should we bear malice?
11247''But the Prince?''
11247''But what do you intend to do?''
11247''But whither will you fly when you get free?''
11247''But why not go straight to Paris with your despatch?
11247''But you-- what are you to wear?''
11247''By whom?''
11247''Can we not?
11247''Can you not suggest something?''
11247''Can you tell me, sir,''said I,''what this letter T is?''
11247''Can you tell me,''said he,''whether the man who calls himself the Baron Straubenthal lives in these parts?''
11247''Cavalry or infantry?''
11247''Corps?''
11247''Could we not burn down this door?''
11247''D''you hear, sir?''
11247''Did you recognize him?''
11247''Do I understand that you have killed them both?''
11247''Do you imagine that I place veteran soldiers in these positions that you may practise quarte and tierce upon them?
11247''Do you mean that we have met before?''
11247''From whom?''
11247''Give you what?''
11247''Have they passed?''
11247''Have you explained to the lieutenant the circumstances under which he is summoned to the Emperor''s presence?''
11247''Have you heard of the Marshal Millefleurs?''
11247''Have you the bridle?''
11247''He gave himself up?''
11247''Heh, Crauford, what the deuce is this?''
11247''How can I be of service to you?''
11247''How can I thank you?''
11247''How is the Third of Hussars?''
11247''How would you have acted yourself, under such circumstances?''
11247''I suppose you expected he''d fight Broughton''s rules, and strict P.R.?
11247''If we find our route unsafe, are we at liberty to choose another?''
11247''If you lay hands upon this Marshal Millefleurs-- this dog of a brigand-- what will you do with him?''
11247''Is a woman to give this Frenchman his answer?''
11247''Is it not confiding of me to trust myself with you?''
11247''Is it possible, then, that among the night- riders of Lutzow there is none who can use his tongue as well as his sabre?''
11247''Is it thus that you will make your comrades believe that nothing remarkable has occurred?
11247''Is that the way you carry yourself on a secret mission?''
11247''Is this the raving of fever, or does it come from some less innocent cause?''
11247''May I ask what you intend to do if you find these villages full of Prussians?''
11247''May I ask, monsieur, whether you are going by this northern road?''
11247''Nay, madame, why should you kiss my hand?''
11247''Newly joined?''
11247''No one has passed?''
11247''Not the son of----?''
11247''Of what?''
11247''Pooh, man, what are the clothes worth?
11247''Rank?''
11247''Should I then take the uniform off?''
11247''Supposing that I once had such a name, how can it concern you, since you must have been a child when I bore it?''
11247''The Cossacks?''
11247''The Emperor refused to see you?''
11247''Then for what do you care?''
11247''Then how----?''
11247''To the Castle?''
11247''Tut, man, do you not see that the Prince will then be committed to our side?
11247''We advance?''
11247''Well, what news?''
11247''Well,''said he, in his hardest and most abrupt voice,''what account do you give of yourself?''
11247''Well?''
11247''Were you the only messenger?''
11247''What am I to give you my clothes for?''
11247''What can I say, save that you have taught me never to trust a woman more?
11247''What can you see?''
11247''What do you make of it, Brigadier?''
11247''What do you mean by repeating that name, young man?''
11247''What does that mean?''
11247''What has become of Charpentier?''
11247''What have I to say to you?''
11247''What have you to say to me?''
11247''What is it, then?''
11247''What is the latest news from Paris, eh?
11247''What is this Tugendbund?''
11247''What is to become of me?''
11247''What papers, sire?''
11247''What shall I do?''
11247''What the deuce are you doing here?''
11247''What village is this?''
11247''What weight do you put on your mules, sir, in the French service?''
11247''What weight on a mule?''
11247''What would you do with him, captain?''
11247''What would you have?''
11247''What would you have?''
11247''What would you suggest that we should do?
11247''What?''
11247''When?''
11247''When?''
11247''Where are my papers?''
11247''Where are they?''
11247''Where are your dice?''
11247''Where are your papers?''
11247''Where is the thief, Gerard?''
11247''Where is the wine?''
11247''Where, then, are your credentials, and what is your message?''
11247''Where?''
11247''Who are they, sire?''
11247''Who has done this?''
11247''Whom have I the honour of capturing?''
11247''Why do you call it the Castle of Gloom?''
11247''Why for Marshal Millefleurs?''
11247''Why should he send for me?''
11247''Why should you strike at me?''
11247''Will you not go first?''
11247''With horses and arms?''
11247''Would you not say that it was in the north- eastern corner that we buried them?''
11247''You are unhurt?''
11247''You are, as I understand, a good swordsman?''
11247''You can leave us, Marshal,''said he, and then, the instant the door was closed:''What news about the papers?''
11247''You did not hear me follow you through the wood, then?
11247''You have carried it for two days?''
11247''You have not yet received the cross of honour, Brigadier Gerard?''
11247''You killed him?''
11247''You know also the large double fir- tree where the hounds assembled on Tuesday?''
11247''You know the Chancellor''s Grove, in the forest?''
11247''You must go?
11247''You think so?
11247''You were chosen by your regiment to fight the champion of the Hussars of Chambarant?''
11247''You will release the thirty- seven dragoons if I free your leader?''
11247''You would blow this door open?''
11247''You would give me the slip, would you?''
11247''You would not withdraw your promise?''
11247''You''ll take them, will you?''
11247''Your name, sir?''
11247And I must be abandoned alone to these savages?
11247And what was I to do now?
11247Are we to have civil war on the top of all our misfortunes?
11247Are we to stand against the will of the nation?
11247At present the question rather is, what is_ he_ going to do to us?''
11247Besides, if the harmless commissariat man were put to such a death, what hope was there for me, who had snapped the spine of their lieutenant?
11247But how was I to get out?
11247But how was I to get to them?
11247But what hussar can ride past a fight and never draw rein?
11247But what of all that?
11247But when I raised them, what was the first thing that my eyes rested upon?
11247Comrades, will you stand by and see this gentleman mishandled?''
11247Could I pull my big companion up after me?
11247Could we not decide the matter in some better way than fighting?
11247D''you know that Lord Rufton alone has five thousand pounds on you?
11247Do you conceive that I would send a really important message by such a hand as yours, and through every village which the enemy holds?
11247Do you imagine I chose you out because you could think?
11247Do you not think, since there is a difference of opinion upon this point, that it would be an excellent idea to consult the lady herself?
11247Do you think, then, that artillerymen have not swords as well as the hussars?
11247Do your hussars know where you have gone to?''
11247Had I not been warned that she was German in heart and soul, and that it was she who was turning her husband and her State against us?
11247Had he hurled himself over?
11247Had he seen the Abbot?
11247Had the peasants at the door seen anyone ride away?
11247Have you anything to say, Brigadier Gerard?''
11247Have you not a young officer named Soubiron, a tall, slight youth with light hair?''
11247He wished to add a hundred gold pieces a game, but what was money when the fate of Colonel Etienne Gerard hung upon the cards?
11247How am I to face Europe if my soldiers turn their points upon each other?
11247How could the hat have flown off?
11247How could they escape us, with the finest horses in France behind them?
11247How the deuce was I to get out of it when the cove wanted the very clothes off my back?''
11247How was I to get one?
11247I asked,''and what are you?
11247I presume that there is nothing which I can do for you before you go?''
11247Is it a circus, or what?''
11247Is it likely that I, who had lived with the light cavalry since the first hair shaded my lip, would mistake the sound of troopers on the march?
11247Is it possible that one who has come safely from Moscow without so much as a frost- bite will die in a French wine- cellar?''
11247Is not every hour a fresh point of view?
11247Is that clear to you?''
11247It is true that I felt very much like a highway robber, but then, what would you have?
11247It was enough for my wants, for when had I had as much during those twelve years spent in camps?
11247May I ask what your name is?''
11247Might I beg you to loosen them?''
11247Might I not have been the accomplice of these wretches?
11247Might I trouble you to lay me upon the bed?
11247Now, sir, what is it that you have to say to either Prince or Princess of Saxe- Felstein?''
11247Now, what is there to prevent you and your men from pretending to be such a body, and so making your way into the Abbey?''
11247Oh, why did I ever meet you?
11247She had forgotten the man with whom she had to deal-- was it likely that I would wait until they could bring their rascals?
11247The lady whom I have the honour to present to you is my very dear wife, Mrs Alexis Morgan-- or shall I say Madame la Marèchale Millefleurs?''
11247Then, turning to the farmer, he asked his eternal question,''Can you tell me where the Baron Straubenthal lives?''
11247To whom should they carry them but to the villain Talleyrand?
11247To whom?''
11247Was I to go into Fontainebleau, to wake up the palace, and to inform them that the great Emperor had been murdered within a pace of me?
11247Was it possible that there was another Frenchman in as perilous a plight as myself?
11247Was it possible, then, that amid the fury of the storm his warning cries had passed unheeded?
11247Was it wonderful that even I should reach the limits of my endurance?
11247Well, as we drew together, I kept on saying,''Where have I seen those great roan shoulders?
11247What could I prove?
11247What could he say which would do justice to the incredible way in which I had risen above every danger?
11247What have I done?''
11247What use was there in giving it to her?
11247What was I to do?
11247What was glorious death that one should shun it?
11247What was life that one should covet it?
11247What will you think of me, my friends, when I tell you it was to me-- to me, the Brigadier Gerard-- that the Emperor wished to write?
11247What witnesses had I?
11247What word would the villain bring back?
11247What would he say when he saw me?
11247What would the Emperor say when he heard that I had lost his despatches?
11247What, retire before this sacred dog of a Wellington-- he who had listened unmoved to my words, and had sent me to his land of fogs?
11247What, then, had become of Commissariat Vidal?
11247Where am I to keep these precious things?
11247Where have I seen that dainty fetlock?''
11247Where were I, and France, and the Emperor?
11247Who can say that there is not justice in this world?
11247Who could have believed that a half- inch of candle could take so long to burn?
11247Who should do so better, seeing that I have stayed for a month in this lonely spot, looking down in weariness of heart at the Abbey which was my own?
11247Who was that who was yelling for help, and what are you trying to do to him?''
11247Why did you ever teach me to rely upon your strength?''
11247Why should I linger in the palace?
11247Why should the Emperor tell us his plans?''
11247Why should you choose to pass through the one place where you are almost sure to be taken or killed?''
11247With its weight, would it not have simply dropped?
11247Would it not be best that I should remain here?''
11247Would the army believe it of Etienne Gerard?
11247Would they come?
11247Would they come?
11247Would they come?
11247Yet this other must have a meaning, or why should she risk her life to place it in our hands?
11247You have both been with me since Marengo, I believe?''
11247You understand me, Monsieur Gerard?''
11247You understand me, gentlemen?''
11247You understand?''
11247cried the young officer, in sufficiently bad French,''what game are you up to here?
11247she screamed, and then,''Oh, my God, what have I done?
34797A village, sir?
34797Ah, who knows?
34797All right?
34797Aluminium with an alloy of copper?
34797An-- an amputation?
34797And I must give her up?
34797And did you stop it?
34797And my name does not appear?
34797And now, Perceval,said he to his companion,"I suppose there is no obstacle to our putting the thing through without delay?
34797And the Professor----?
34797And to Gaster Fell?
34797And what is your object in keeping me from Sophie?
34797And what would be the end of that young farmer?
34797And where is it, then, this house which you have built?
34797And which king?
34797And why?
34797And why?
34797And yet you can deny the soul?
34797And you are engaged?
34797And you will live alone there?
34797And you will live on the Gaster Fell?
34797And your research on Vallisneria?
34797Any harm done?
34797Any way by which we could identify him?
34797Anything good?
34797Are you in a hurry?
34797Ask him who he is, and what he wants?
34797Asked him to-- asked him what?
34797Both legs?
34797But is not love romance?
34797But surely, my friend,said I,"you can tell me what is ready?"
34797But what on earth am I to write about?
34797But where''s the justice of it, doctor?
34797But why not sell the house?
34797But why should they enquire for me?
34797But you have capital?
34797But you must have known the nature of your complaint, why otherwise should you have come to me?
34797But you will make me a promise?
34797By the way, did you see my''Discopherous Bone in a Duck''s Stomach''?
34797By the way, what sort of a fit would you like? 34797 By the way,"says the alienist,"did I ever tell you about the first certificate I ever signed?
34797Can I come up?
34797Can I go up?
34797Can I not soften you in any way?
34797Can you account for it?
34797Can you swim?
34797Could I have a boat for an hour?
34797Could n''t we get up some incident,said I,"which would bring your name really prominently before the public?"
34797Could n''t you invent a case just to raise the wind?
34797Dare not?
34797Deutsch?
34797Did he not tell you then where he was living?
34797Did his wife get through it, doctor?
34797Did you enter_ all_ the rooms?
34797Did you say tea_ and_ beer?
34797Did you think, then, that you were the only man in the world with a taste for solitude? 34797 Did you try?"
34797Do n''t you find it a very wearing branch of the profession?
34797Do n''t you see that he is stricken to the heart?
34797Do you dukker?
34797Do you imagine that I would injure her? 34797 Do you keep rowing- boats and let them out?"
34797Do you mean to say that you live here?
34797Do you mean to say,I cried,"that you do n''t know yourself?"
34797Do you think-- do you think the poison has spent itself on me? 34797 Do you use Long Melford?"
34797Eh? 34797 Espagnol?"
34797Excuse me,I said,"you are a medical, are n''t you?"
34797Français?
34797Had you brothers or sisters?
34797Had you heard before?
34797Have you my tea there?
34797Have you no other suggestion?
34797Have you opened it?
34797Have you thought at all,he asked at last,"of the matter upon which I spoke to you last night?"
34797Have you, then, built a house upon the fells?
34797Henrietta,I said,"what have you done with my coat?"
34797How about the flanges, Brown?
34797How could I have foreseen this? 34797 How could I play the queen when I knew the ace was against me?"
34797How could you leave me so, Jinny? 34797 How could you?"
34797How did it happen? 34797 How do you do it?"
34797How do you do, Doctor Ripley?
34797How do you do, Professor?
34797How do you do, madam?
34797How far?
34797How should I know?
34797How was that?
34797How?
34797I believe, sir,said he,"that my name has been mentioned to you by my young friend, Mr. Felix Stanniford?"
34797I could n''t give it away before all those blacks, or where should I have been the next time I used my false beard and Arab dress? 34797 I say, you''re not going to let rip among them with a shot gun, are you, in order to found a practice for me?"
34797If a man has no cases, how in the world is he to describe them? 34797 If, for example, I were to say that you have interstitial keratitis, how would you be the wiser?
34797Is it not splendid?
34797Is it over?
34797Is n''t it enough to dislocate every bone in my body with your ridiculous resuscitations without ruining my constitution with this thing?
34797Is n''t there a law of compensation in science? 34797 Is she dead?"
34797Is that very serious?
34797Is the doctor in?
34797Is there danger, sir?
34797It was from him, then?
34797It''s on his back, and the passage is draughty, so we must not look at it, must we, daddy? 34797 Let it, then?"
34797Let me see,said the third year''s man,"you have never seen an operation?"
34797Look here, Thomas,said I,"you want your name in the papers-- is that it?"
34797Lord''a mercy, miss, and where did you go?
34797My dear fellow, you are a treasure-- you wo n''t mind my bleeding you?
34797No clue of any kind?
34797Not marry-- and why?
34797Not much room for practice here?
34797Nothing very bad-- eh?
34797Notice, what?
34797Now then,said Brown, facing round, and brushing the crumbs from his lap,"who is to put it on?"
34797Now,said he,"what am I do to earn this?"
34797Oh, is that all? 34797 Oh, you do n''t think they are necessarily unsexed, then?"
34797One of us?
34797Or at the delicate tint of that background of leaves? 34797 Or what, sir?"
34797Pardon my curiosity, but would you mind telling me what Gladstone_ did_ do in''63?
34797Perhaps it will do if I look in on my morning round?
34797Registered?
34797Registered?
34797See that stream which lies like a silver band upon the distant moor? 34797 Shall I bring brandy?"
34797Shall I pull in, sir?
34797She said Yes, then?
34797Suddenly?
34797The church or the chapel?
34797Then what am I to do?
34797Then what can it be?
34797Then why do n''t you look?
34797Then why live there?
34797Then you go-- you really go?
34797There''s a pretty considerable crowd of people outside, is n''t there, Tom?
34797These letters to my mother and to myself-- were they forgeries?
34797They are coming out of church, are n''t they? 34797 We are there, I presume, to prevent raiding?"
34797Well, how is she?
34797Well, how is she?
34797Well, then, I might write it now, and start to- morrow-- eh? 34797 Well, what''s the matter?"
34797Were n''t you curious to know what was in it?
34797What about?
34797What ails her?
34797What are the students to do without their Professor?
34797What can I do or say?
34797What could there be, Perceval? 34797 What country do you come from?"
34797What did Gladstone do in''63?
34797What did Gladstone do in''63?
34797What did he hit you for?
34797What did he say?
34797What did the bloke hit you for?
34797What did you do?
34797What do you mean?
34797What else should we understand from a crown?
34797What else would the bloke do when you bashed his hat?
34797What in the world am I to do, Barton?
34797What is it to you whether they are drowned or not? 34797 What is it?"
34797What is the meaning of this?
34797What is your name?
34797What is your name?
34797What on earth did you faint about?
34797What operation?
34797What possible interest can the public take in that?
34797What right have you to play the spy on me?
34797What says the Spanish poet Calderon?
34797What then? 34797 What was he like?"
34797What was it, then?
34797What would you have?
34797What''s G.P.?
34797What''s Romanys?
34797What, and unite the practices?
34797What, then?
34797Where can we do it?
34797Where do you live?
34797Where does the parotid come in?
34797Where,I asked,"are the Romany chals and the Romany chis?"
34797Which king?
34797Who are the two men at the table?
34797Who are you?
34797Who has dared to register my invention?
34797Who is Mr. Perceval, may I ask?
34797Who is that for, Jane?
34797Why a rose and why a crown?
34797Why did you not warn me, Henrietta?
34797Why do you not speak?
34797Why do you wish to be drowned?
34797Why in the last two years?
34797Why not?
34797Why on earth did you take the lamp away?
34797Why should a woman not earn her bread by her brains?
34797Why should he allow your mother to die and be buried without coming back?
34797Why should he conceal his address?
34797Why should he not take your mother with him?
34797Why should your father have continued to stay away when these investments had recovered themselves?
34797Why were you such a chump as to turn your back on him like that?
34797Why, then?
34797Will you give it up?
34797Will you give up the patent, Brown?
34797Will you hold his coat?
34797Will you speak now?
34797Would you care to stop and take out a metacarpal?
34797You are aware that we hold Mr. Stanniford''s permission to open the door on the twenty- first birthday of his son?
34797You are employed during the day, and so am I. Shall we meet at nine o''clock at the house?
34797You are not among our champions, then?
34797You believe in love, then?
34797You could keep yourself afloat for five minutes?
34797You differ from him?
34797You do n''t happen to have property in Australia?
34797You got ashore all right, then?
34797You say that he had not committed any legal offence when he fled the country?
34797You think there is nothing to be said on the other side?
34797You threaten me?
34797You will bolt your door at night?
34797You will lunch with us?
34797You wo n''t give her up to me?
34797You would have me simply write brutally and break the engagement at this last moment without a reason? 34797 You''re not afraid of water?"
34797Your husband is perhaps out?
34797_ All_ over it?
34797_ Which_ church?
34797''Amputation of the arm?''
34797''How long have I to live?''
34797''Is it over?''
34797''Is n''t it splendid to see Job looking so well, doctor?''
34797''What is his age?''
34797''What is it?''
34797''Why should you deceive him?''
34797Alder?"
34797And what was the meaning of it all?
34797And where could he have walked from?
34797And why did I pace the solitary shore, hot and wrathful as a wolf whose whelp has been torn from it?
34797And why?
34797At Brussels my path was straight; but now,_ mon Dieu!_ who is there can tell me where it leads?"
34797But as to inventing whole cases, it seems rather daring, does it not?"
34797But how am I to do it unless by brawling in the street or by increasing my family?
34797But how are we going to get him to find his tongue?"
34797But what are you doing there?"
34797But what do you know of Gaster Fell, Miss Cameron?"
34797But when may I call and pay my respects to Mrs. Grey?
34797But who would believe that?
34797Can I be of any assistance?
34797Could I help being born?
34797Could it be merely the restlessness, the love of adventure of a young girl?
34797Could you help me so far?"
34797Could you not imagine it, Professor Grey, to be the whisperings of angels?"
34797D''ye hear?"
34797Did I do it?
34797Did I ever tell you that case where Nature divorced a most loving couple?
34797Did he keep a galvanic battery?
34797Did they keep beds?
34797Did you ascertain anything about him before you lost him?"
34797Did you say that you had run with that lamp all over the ground floor?"
34797Do you not think that she may come to forget this man and to love me?"
34797Do you think if I had children that they would suffer?"
34797Do you think that I would be such a fool as to come here and tell you lies?
34797Do you think this is a wayside inn or place of public accommodation?"
34797Eh, Ada?
34797Eh, Jack?"
34797Esdaile?"
34797Feel pretty fit?"
34797Have n''t I a right to ask why?
34797Have you a bolt on the inside of your door?"
34797Have you ever thought of going further-- of seeking a course of college or even a learned profession?"
34797Have you said all that?"
34797He used to ask me so often about my own health, and I thought him so fussy, for how could I tell what the meaning of it was?
34797How can I put such a public affront upon her?
34797How can a man spend his whole life in seeing suffering bravely borne and yet remain a hard or a vicious man?
34797How could he end himself without injuring her?
34797How could you have the heart to do it?
34797How would that do, eh?"
34797How''s that for a single haul?"
34797How?"
34797I suppose, sir, that I should report myself there at once?"
34797Is it not heavenly?"
34797Is n''t it an absurd situation?
34797Is there a chemist''s near?"
34797Johnson?"
34797Just give me your hand, will you?"
34797May I ask now whether you see your way to accepting my proposal?"
34797May I use your paper and envelopes?''
34797May we not hope to make up in quality what we lack in quantity?"
34797Not heard of it?
34797Now, do you see the dreadful dilemma in which those poor people found themselves?
34797O''James?"
34797Oh, why would he do it?
34797Or was there, possibly, some deeper meaning in this nocturnal journey?
34797Other men''s wives went through it unharmed, and why should not his?
34797Shall I read it to you?"
34797Shall I run for him?"
34797Shall I say a want of imagination?
34797Shall I tell your groom to ride for Doctor Horton in the morning?"
34797She was a leaky tub, but what then?
34797Surely that must be obvious, for in what other possible way can the facts be explained?"
34797Then how did you understand all I have said to you about gipsies?
34797Under whose name?"
34797Was I, who had cast many a wistful, doubtful glance at my opium bottle, to begin now to weigh chances and to cavil at danger?
34797Was it my fault?
34797Was it that I loved this Muscovite girl?
34797Was it the beer-- or was it the tea?
34797Was n''t that hard lines?"
34797Were there groans too breaking in upon him, and some other sound, some fluid sound, which was more dreadfully suggestive still?
34797What aid should be needed on Gaster Fell?"
34797What are we after all?
34797What can I say to you, Ainslie?
34797What companion is there like the great restless, throbbing sea?
34797What could a man ask for more than that?
34797What did he do?
34797What do you mean?
34797What had his sweet, innocent little wife done that she should be used so?
34797What has occurred?"
34797What human mood is there which it does not match and sympathise with?
34797What is sleep?
34797What is that paper?"
34797What motive could have taken her from her snug room on to the bleak, wind- swept hills?
34797What power could there be to draw this tender girl, through wind and rain and darkness, across the fearsome moors to that strange rendezvous?
34797What shall it be?"
34797What was he now?
34797What was it to me whether she had lived or died?
34797What were you reading?"
34797What would words do for you if you were in this chair and I in that?
34797What''s up with the old gentleman?"
34797When may I hope to hear from you again?"
34797Where could I send her, and what could I do with her?
34797Where had those words been used before?
34797Where was the justice of it?
34797Where''s Doctor Miles?"
34797Who are you to call her Henrietta?"
34797Who are you, you rascal?
34797Who could he be, this formidable giant coming out of the unknown?
34797Who is the lady?"
34797Who was it who had used them?
34797Why do you do this thing?"
34797Why else should her little head be nestling so lovingly on his broad breast, while her yellow hair entwined itself with his flowing beard?
34797Why not take the machine down to- morrow and test it in the barn?"
34797Why should not a bagful of them take our place?"
34797Why should they presume to shirk the narrow pathway along which all that is great and noble among mankind has travelled?
34797Why too should there be that bright smile of ineffable happiness and triumph, which death itself had not had power to banish from his dusky face?
34797Why was Nature so cruel?
34797Why?
34797Will she be at home this afternoon?"
34797Will you be present on the occasion?"
34797Will you give up the patent?"
34797With half a complete brain we ca n''t expect to understand the whole of a complete fact, can we, now?
34797Wo n''t you step round and have a cup of coffee?"
34797Would it not be wise to speak to Mrs. Esdaile first, John?"
34797Would you want me to row you, sir?"
34797You are rather sensitive, are you not?"
34797You are seconded from the Royal Mallows, I understand?"
34797You can tell them easily enough, ca n''t you?
34797You do n''t talk Arabic, I suppose?"
34797You do not feel an emotional thrill at the singing of that thrush?"
34797You have a lease of your own little place, eh?"
34797You have heard of Sir Rupert Norton, the great Corinthian?"
34797You know M''Namara, do n''t you?
34797You say there are no papers on him?"
34797You will give me water, will you not?
34797You will not refuse me?"
34797You''re not a doctor, are you?"
34797You_ did_ engage me, did n''t you?"
34797_ Myself._ What are you then?
34797do you?"
34797he cried,"what are you up to?"
34797he murmured, shaking his head;"any other symptoms?"
36606A hare?
36606A looking- glass? 36606 Allah?"
36606And are you` awfully gone''on him?
36606And cussing?
36606And is that all, food for the Evil One? 36606 And is there not something of what they call a` crank''underlying that philosophy?"
36606And well?
36606And what about the others who are-- not nice?
36606And what if Umar Khan is not speedily run to earth?
36606And who is he when he''s out here now?
36606And who won?
36606Anywhere near here?
36606Are they going to bring the sahib back, Der''Ali?
36606Are we less so here?
36606Are you sick of camp yet?
36606Ask the Syyed, Buktiar,he says,"who was the Sirdar Dost Hussain Khan?"
36606Because we went out chikor shooting together once or twice?
36606Bleed to death? 36606 But do you want them to believe you?"
36606But what is he like, Lily?
36606But what made your father mention this place in particular? 36606 But, this is not an artificial cavern, surely?"
36606By the way, why do n''t those children come in? 36606 Ca n''t you see I want to read?"
36606Can I come in, old chap? 36606 Can not we cut our way through?"
36606Chief say-- you ever see him before?
36606Chief say-- you know who he is?
36606Could we not propose terms to them, Colonel? 36606 Cutting it?
36606Did he get any shots?
36606Did n''t you get my letter at Shalalai, saying we were going into camp?
36606Did she? 36606 Did you drive here, Fleming?"
36606Did you have any sport, Mr Upward?
36606Did you have any success?
36606Did you? 36606 Do n''t feel up to going after chikor, I suppose?"
36606Do ye not fear God, O impious ones, that ye would rob His servant?
36606Do you still venerate that vacant old fetish? 36606 Do you think her good looking, Mr Campian?"
36606Does anyone know?
36606Does he mean he has seen the devil?
36606Does it_ dik_ you, old chap?
36606Does she? 36606 Does that devil really mean what he says, Buktiar?"
36606Eh-- what is it?
36606Eh? 36606 Eh?
36606Ever since you''ve been in the country, old chap?
36606Ever taken anyone seriously?
36606Fine specimen, that sirdar, is n''t he?
36606Have I not got a dear old uncle, who talks shocking nonsense on privileged occasions?
36606Have ye not grievously offended God? 36606 Heavens I are we to be roasted or smoked in a hole?"
36606Here-- on this spot, or in this country?
36606How am I to know if this fellow is lying or not?
36606How big are flies? 36606 How can you talk such a lot of rubbish?
36606How do, colonel? 36606 I believe it''s not fair, eh?
36606I predicted something was going to happen, did n''t I?
36606I say, Fleming, when are you going to have your snooze?
36606I think he started to hunt us up, did n''t he, Mrs Upward?
36606I think it has another name-- Kachin, I believe they call it-- don''t they, Bhallu Khan?
36606I wonder if the sly old dog is really smashed on Nesta, and is thinking it over-- I wonder?
36606Is it over? 36606 Is it the whole district, or only just this valley?"
36606Is it very deep?
36606Is it? 36606 Is n''t that a picture in itself?"
36606Is n''t that how the case stands?
36606Is n''t that the order, Colonel?
36606Is n''t there a family of that name in Brackenshire?
36606Is not that of the ring sufficient?
36606Is that why we were so glum last night?
36606Is the sahib still alive?
36606Is your friend keen on sport, Upward?
36606It ca n''t be really-- is it? 36606 Last time we saw each other we hardly reckoned to meet in such tragic fashion, did we, Mrs Upward?"
36606MOHAMMED ER RASOUL ALLAH?
36606No? 36606 No?
36606No? 36606 No?
36606Not a bad spot for a picnic, is it?
36606Not, eh? 36606 Not, eh?
36606Not, eh?
36606Not? 36606 O dog,"began the outlaw, pushing his now helpless prisoner with his foot,"dost guess what I am going to do with thee?"
36606Oh that''s the grievance, is it?
36606Oh, Howard, what is it?
36606Or, at any rate, wo n''t they just say so to- morrow? 36606 Pity he goes about looking such a slouch then, is n''t it?"
36606Really? 36606 Really?
36606Scared of it?
36606See that hole, Campian?
36606See that place up there?
36606Seven hundred rupees?
36606Shall we go back?
36606Shall we stay at home then, dear?
36606Should we be-- er-- quite safe here if it did?
36606Sirdar? 36606 Sleep?
36606So this is the man whose sharp hearing was the saving of my life?
36606So? 36606 So?
36606So? 36606 So?
36606So? 36606 So?
36606So? 36606 So?
36606So?
36606Strange now-- that I should be here, is n''t it? 36606 Tell me, were you ever afraid of anything in your life?"
36606That everlasting Umar Khan, I suppose?
36606That so? 36606 That you, Upward, or am I dreaming?"
36606That''s much nearer?
36606The jungle- wallah? 36606 The money-- where is it?"
36606The question is, can we trust them?
36606Then what about your friend and the Jermyns?
36606Then why do n''t you make hay while the sun shines?
36606There was some scheme of cutting them into a kind of exploration picnic, was n''t there, Upward?
36606They are rather a poor lot these Baluchis, are n''t they? 36606 Think?
36606Thunder? 36606 Umar Khan, you mean-- eh?"
36606Upward, what''s the meaning of Chirria Bach?
36606Viv, how would it be to play us something lively to wake us up?
36606Was I? 36606 Was Miss Cheriton very much scared that day?
36606Was he saying his prayers? 36606 Was it all right?"
36606Was there anything in the rumours that had got about, that the tribes were becoming restless all over the country?
36606Was what all right?
36606We had better get on, had n''t we?
36606We have n''t said` How d''you do?'' 36606 We''ll go on eh, Campian?
36606Well but-- why do n''t we?
36606Well, Nessita, and of what art thou thinking?
36606Well, and what did you think of Colonel Jermyn, Mr Campian?
36606Well, and what do you think, Miss Cheriton?
36606Well, even then? 36606 Well, how many did you shoot?"
36606Well, what does he say?
36606Well, what if he should turn out to be the very identical cuss I winged that night?
36606Well, what_ khubbur_ from below?
36606Well-- ar-- Upward-- lots of chikor, eh?
36606Well?
36606Well?
36606What can be done? 36606 What did you say the_ soor''s_ name was?"
36606What did you think of her?
36606What does he say?
36606What else has it been doing ever since we came up here?
36606What if the things are at the bottom of that cleft?
36606What indeed, save as alms for the poor, and the debtors and the insolvent, as enjoins the holy Koran? 36606 What is it, Bhallu Khan?"
36606What is this? 36606 What made you freeze on to him, Upward?"
36606What on earth do we stay on here for then?
36606What should a poor_ mullah_ do with such a sum?
36606What sort of a niece?
36606What sort of fellow are you, Fleming?
36606What sport have you had, Ernest?
36606What was the name of the Durani sirdar?
36606What would you like to do this afternoon, old chap?
36606What you do to dis chief?
36606What''s going to be done about it?
36606What''s the good of coming up here on purpose to shoot, and then hanging up in camp? 36606 What''s the joke, now?"
36606What''s the real name of this place, Upward?
36606What? 36606 When are you coming back to Shalalai, Miss Cheriton?"
36606When are you going to catch Umar Khan?
36606Where are you?
36606Where are your things-- and how is it you are all alone? 36606 Where did she get hold of that for a yarn, Mrs Upward?"
36606Where is the remainder, thou son of Shaitan? 36606 Where obtainedst thou this?"
36606Where was this?
36606Where''s Bracebrydge?
36606Which foot shall come off first?
36606Who are they, Mrs Upward?
36606Who art thou, brother; and whither faring?
36606Who is that bounder, Campian?
36606Who is your leader, brothers?
36606Who would have thought of finding you-- anyone-- here?
36606Why are they all armed like that? 36606 Why did she chuck-- the other fellow?"
36606Why did you take so much trouble?
36606Why do n''t some of you try and catch him, Captain Fleming? 36606 Why do n''t you put out the light then, Miss Cheriton?"
36606Why do n''t you toss for it?
36606Why do you avoid me so of late?
36606Why not?--Isn''t that what they are coming for?
36606Why should n''t he? 36606 Why, the look of things?"
36606Why, what the devil is the meaning of it?
36606Why, who can these be?
36606Why` too,''Lilian? 36606 Will they keep to their conditions in any case?
36606Will you obey orders, Viv? 36606 Wo n''t they?
36606Wo n''t you have a` peg''? 36606 Wonder how long Campian will stick at Jermyn''s?
36606Wonder if he really means it?
36606Wonder if that poor devil Campian''s throat has been cut yet?
36606Would n''t he find it desperately slow here, Uncle Edward?
36606Yar Hussain Khan?
36606Yes? 36606 Yes?
36606You must have seen a great deal of her?
36606You''ll come, too, wo n''t you, colonel? 36606 _ Kaha Syyed Ain Asraf hai_?"
36606_ So_? 36606 ` Howard,''indeed?
36606A bit buzzy still?
36606A box?
36606A moment before, free, comparatively almost one of themselves, and now-- What was the meaning of this abominable treatment?
36606A rap came at the door, and her uncle''s voice:"Got any letters to send, Viv?
36606A walk?
36606Again, did that mysterious chest, so startlingly, so grimly lighted upon by himself, actually contain that rare and priceless treasure?
36606Am I right?"
36606And now, why has the secret of its whereabouts been lost?
36606And the_ tangi_?
36606And then?
36606And what about when he has to go into a tight place?"
36606And what became of them all?"
36606And what does Jermyn consist of?"
36606And what said the Holy Koran?
36606And where the devil might Chirria Bach be?
36606And wherefore am I not to go, Nessita, mine angel?"
36606And wherefore this-- caprice, since but the other day you were sworn to the sabre?"
36606And yet, why?
36606And you have only recently arrived?"
36606And you must be tired of this very quiet life, unrelieved save by a couple of old fogies like yours truly and Upward?"
36606And, Nessie, shall I tell you something you''d rather like to hear?
36606Anyone know where Upward''s to be found, by the way?"
36606Anything fresh turned up?"
36606Are you very wet?"
36606As a pious exercise?"
36606Badly scared, child?"
36606Buktiar duly translated this, and the Baluchi answered:"What do I gain?
36606But I daresay, you got a taste of that on your way up?"
36606But I say, where are we?"
36606But I suppose they have a yarn of the kind attached to pretty nearly every hole and corner of the land, eh?"
36606But for her having narrated the incident as they rode past, it might never have occurred to him that the attempt was feasible, and-- what then?
36606But he continues:"Has it never occurred to you that you-- that we-- made a very considerable mistake that time?
36606But he-- will he not relent and return?
36606But how the devil did he get here like this, and-- Is he alive or dead?"
36606But now?
36606But the reply was lost in the soft rustle of draperies, and a softer voice:"How do you do, Mr Upward?"
36606But what mattered whether it were known or not?
36606But what of its depth?
36606But what should bring him up to those parts?
36606But who is with you?
36606But who the deuce would be firing shots here and at this time of night?
36606But whose tent?
36606But why?
36606But why?"
36606But-- do you believe in it, then?"
36606But-- jealous?
36606But-- was it?
36606But-- who''s Jermyn when he''s at home?"
36606By Jove-- what if they were only waiting till the train had left to break out, and Ghazi the whole show?
36606By the way, did you notice the infernal scowl that hook- nosed brigand of his turned on for my benefit all the time you were talking?"
36606By the way, was n''t old Bracebrydge properly smashed on her?"
36606Ca n''t someone throw a few bottles at that brute?"
36606Campian, always analytical, was conscious of a change, or rather was it a development?
36606Can he live without her?
36606Come now, it was rather smart of him-- wasn''t it?
36606Could it be there was anything between Campian and herself?
36606Could n''t one of these fellows fetch my pony?
36606Could there be two Syyeds Ain Asraf?
36606Could we not arrange to go and explore it?
36606Did he know anything of the hiding of the treasure, or at any rate where it was hidden?
36606Did n''t we, Lily?"
36606Did n''t you know?"
36606Did n''t you see us?"
36606Did this old man know?
36606Did you happen to notice he walked with a slight limp?"
36606Did you hear him trying to dictate where we were to pitch the tiffin camp?"
36606Do I not own a looking- glass?"
36606Do n''t they trust their own people?"
36606Do n''t you notice it, Vivien?"
36606Do these people have legends and local ghosts, and all that kind of thing?"
36606Do you know anything about him?"
36606Do you mind sending Khola in with the bath?"
36606Does not the Syyed Ain Asraf know of it?"
36606Eh, what about?
36606Eh?"
36606Fine view from here, is n''t there?"
36606Fleming-- how about a` peg''?"
36606Got her on board?"
36606Had a long ride?"
36606Had he deceived her-- disappointed her?
36606Had he improved the shining hour then?
36606Had he not often told her that a lost illusion was gone for ever?
36606Had he struck upon the clue at last-- not merely a clue, but the actual spot?
36606Had the_ Huzoor_ heard anything?
36606Had they abandoned the pursuit?
36606Had this structure to do with the hidden treasure-- the priceless ruby sword?
36606Had we not better remain so?
36606Hast thou a token, Feringhi?"
36606Have another chikor, old chap?"
36606Have ye not broken into his hour of prayer, with brawling and strife?
36606Have you ever seen a similar one, Sirdar sahib?"
36606He was unbound, and, to all appearances, unguarded-- why should he not make the attempt?
36606Heavens, was the whole thing a dream-- a nightmare?
36606Here, among their native rocks and crags, what chance had he against these persistent, untiring hillmen?
36606His word had never been broken, why should it be this time?
36606Horrible, is n''t it?"
36606How are you feeling-- eh?
36606How could any living thing have escaped that volley?
36606How could they bear the strain, how keep up the_ role_?
36606How could they two be together under the same roof, in close, daily intercourse as mere acquaintances, they two who had been so much to each other?
36606How did he know that?
36606How is it I did not know you were here?"
36606How many are there, Captain Fleming?
36606How many soldiers have we got in Shalalai?"
36606How much do you think he sold it for?"
36606How then is it that the part has come to him so easily?
36606How was he to return?
36606How was it?"
36606How would Vivien accept the general opinion?
36606How''s the head?"
36606I always thought flies were small?"
36606I wonder when Mr Campian will turn up?"
36606If they two were cut down what of Vivien?
36606In peace?
36606Is it likely?
36606Is it not?"
36606Is it safe?
36606Is n''t he, Lily?"
36606Is n''t it, Bhallu Khan?"
36606Is n''t it, Bhallu Khan?"
36606Is n''t that the brute that Wendsley had to sell because his wife could n''t drive him?"
36606Is that all?"
36606Is that the long and short of it?"
36606Is the name of those in that hapless plight legion?"
36606It has come to that, has it?"
36606It is hardly safe, is it?"
36606It seems hard lines on you, child, shutting you up here, with no one to talk to but a prosy old fellow like me, eh?"
36606It was not for themselves that they feared death, it was on account of the mem- sahib, for if they were slain what would become of her?
36606Likely to be trouble raised over that?"
36606Lucky old Bhallu Khan heard the racket-- eh?"
36606Nice country this, eh, Campian?"
36606No defences?
36606Northward, to wild untrodden regions of Afghanistan or Persia when the band should find it expedient to flee thither-- and, what then?
36606Not bad, eh?"
36606Now-- who could say whether he would meet anybody again-- in a week or two or ever?
36606Now--?
36606Offer a big ransom, say?"
36606Or are you going to say` Duty''?"
36606Or could he not conceal himself in some of the holes and crevices on the stony hillside until they should be tired of searching?
36606Pretty?
36606Remaineth there not a large garrison at Shalalai-- horse, foot, and artillery?"
36606Rescue?
36606Say four or five like those who tackled me-- or even more-- made up their minds to come for you some night, what then?
36606Say-- is it really?"
36606See that very tree over there?"
36606See"--holding out his hand, so that all might see the green stone and its cabalistic characters--"see-- am I not one of yourselves?
36606Shall I persuade Upward to let them come with us?"
36606Shall I return to` Miss Cheriton?''"
36606Shall we, Campian?"
36606Shall you be ready in half an hour, Campian?"
36606Slow?
36606So these were the traitors?
36606Some of them already?"
36606Sure?
36606The latter went on:"As I was saying, Upward, before we were interrupted, who is Jermyn?"
36606The only flaw in this to me alluring vista now opened out is-- how long will it last?
36606The search was proceeding right merrily, yet, why had it not begun here?
36606The sky?
36606Then what happened?
36606There''s no sort of war on here?"
36606They do n''t go in for a lot of jewels, on their clothes and swords, like the Indian rajahs?"
36606They say-- By the bye, did n''t you come in from Mehriab yesterday?"
36606Two hundred and fifty rupees?
36606Vivien?
36606Wait-- wait-- do you hear?"
36606Was he a captive in the hands of his recent assailants?
36606Was he in any row here?"
36606Was he in the secret, or had all clue been lost?
36606Was he jealous?
36606Was his foot really cut off?
36606Was it a new light?
36606Was it likely that the people could change their nature all at once?
36606Was it the gathering gloom, or had the scratch been washed away?
36606Was n''t that thunder?"
36606Was there really something in the legend?
36606We know what that is down below-- don''t we, Upward?"
36606We''ll ride over too, eh, Lil?"
36606Well what will make you like me any more?"
36606Well, Viv?
36606Well, what''s the news?"
36606Were you ever afraid of anything in your life?"
36606What I do?"
36606What about that other joke-- is it stale too?
36606What can have become of the chap?
36606What changes had the intervening period effected in her?
36606What could we find that would help us?"
36606What did he do that for?
36606What did he think of the chances?
36606What did it matter about a little rain?
36606What did this mean?
36606What do they suspect?"
36606What do you gain by my death?"
36606What do you say, Viv?"
36606What do you say, colonel?"
36606What do you take me for?"
36606What do you think about it, Miss Cheriton?"
36606What do you think about it, Vivien?"
36606What do you think, Mrs Upward?
36606What does he say to that?"
36606What does it consist of?"
36606What if he had been allowing his over- wrought imagination to run away with him?
36606What if he has stuck up Mehriab station to plunder the safe?"
36606What if it held the treasure itself?
36606What if it should contain nothing?
36606What if she had so replied by last mail-- that is to say, the day before this other had been so unexpectedly thrown back into her life?
36606What if she had so replied to a like appeal from the same quarter nearly a year ago?
36606What if some bloody deed of vendetta, or tribal feud, had been worked out here, almost at his very door?
36606What if the_ tangi_ should come down?"
36606What if this splendid treasure were in reality right under his hand-- if he only knew where to lay his hand upon it?
36606What indeed?"
36606What is it?"
36606What is the sirdar''s name, again?"
36606What might not be the result of those weeks was the thought that was in the minds of both of them?
36606What might not transpire within those weeks?
36606What shall we do if it comes right over?"
36606What sirdar?
36606What sort of a soldier''s niece are you?"
36606What sort of place is this, Upward?"
36606What subject shall we find to wrangle about?"
36606What the devil_ can_ be done?
36606What was I saying just now?"
36606What was going to be the end of all this, and whither did they purpose to convey him?
36606What was that?
36606What was that?
36606What was that?"
36606What will you give?"
36606What would the Sahib have?
36606What you do to him?"
36606What''s that?
36606What''s the matter?
36606What''s the matter?"
36606What?
36606What?"
36606What?"
36606When I have more I will tell you more-- but-- I am forgetting-- how on earth can it interest you?"
36606When are they due, by the way-- the sodgers, not the chikor?"
36606When did you first begin doing it, by the way?"
36606When he returned safe, as one who returned from the dead, what would not her welcome be?
36606Where are the girls?"
36606Where are you going to take him for his afternoon stroll, Nessita?
36606Where is my syce, I wonder?
36606Where was he?
36606Where''s Tinkles?
36606Where?"
36606Wherefore this outrage?
36606Which is the favoured one, by the way?"
36606Who is he?
36606Why do you suggest such horrible things?"
36606Why had she failed him-- she his destined counterpart?
36606Why had she proved so weak under a not very strong ordeal?
36606Why not again?
36606Why not now?"
36606Why not?
36606Why should he?
36606Why should it?
36606Why should it?
36606Why should she continue to throw away life, grieving over what was past and done with; what was inevitable; what was dead and buried?
36606Why should the_ role_ be kept up?
36606Why, then, had such a state of things been allowed to come to a close?
36606Why?
36606Will that suit you?"
36606Will there be any more?"
36606Will we not?"
36606Wo n''t you tell me now, Nessie?"
36606Would Upward never arrive?
36606Would five thousand rupees repurchase it?
36606Would he relent?
36606Would his fate ever be known?
36606Would not the recent dread experiences be worth going through to have led up to this splendid discovery?
36606Would these barbarians allow him to leave their midst alive?
36606Would these wolves ever release their prey?
36606Yes?
36606Yet if Umar Khan must walk lame for the remainder of his life, why should the dog whose bite rendered him lame walk straight?
36606Yet what was there to exult over?
36606Yet why?
36606Yet would these hell hounds never give up the search?
36606Yet, what knowest thou of Dost Hussain Khan?"
36606Yet, why that uneasy stirring-- why that misgiving?
36606You are dreadfully lacking in ballast, my child, even to dream of such a thing, are you not?"
36606You are going to make some stay, are you not?"
36606You have n''t got hold of a notion there''s anything to be done in that line around here, eh?"
36606You know he was out here a lot-- years ago-- I suppose there is n''t another of the same name, is there?"
36606You saw the niece, then?"
36606You say it is easy to get at?"
36606You seem to believe in it, old chap?"
36606You understand?"
36606You were travelling after dinner, you know-- ah-- ha-- ha?"
36606You will, Colonel?
36606You''re rather a joke, you know, and--""--And-- what?"
36606` Ever see such humbug in your life?''
36606he took occasion to ask,"or is he only trying to scare me?"
36606how did you get up there?"
36606she said, looking up suddenly,"what is it all about?"
36606was it to reach him-- to touch him, and yet pass him by?
36606what if he were not?
26392''Had any one left his dormitory during the night?'' 26392 ''Last seen in all his native beauty----''Well, Plunger, what are you stopping for now?"
26392A man of the-- of the name of Zuker?
26392A moper? 26392 A present?"
26392A queer sort of chap, our new bedfellow, is n''t it, Freddy?
26392About my own size-- not quite so tall? 26392 After going about on all fours, do n''t you find it a bit tricky to stand on your hind legs again?"
26392After that I suppose I can find my cousin?
26392All clear enough;--but----"But what? 26392 All here?"
26392All serene?
26392All your own?
26392Am I awake or am I dreaming, Baldry?
26392Am I awake or dreaming?
26392Am I certain that I see you?
26392Am I to understand that you refuse to speak, Moncrief?
26392Am I to wait for an answer?
26392An accident? 26392 And I''ve been trying not to believe it, but what else are you to make of it?
26392And Parfitt did not speak?
26392And after they''d tried him by court- martial?
26392And are n''t they white ones?
26392And for a dispute between you and Moncrief major all the Form are against you?
26392And give away his secret, or, rather, your father''s secret, before that mob of boys? 26392 And improve my reputation for courage-- eh?
26392And saw what happened?
26392And that is all the explanation you can give? 26392 And that is all the information you can give me?"
26392And what do you know about it? 26392 And what does he say?"
26392And what happened?
26392And where were they taking this man-- the spy-- when he jumped overboard?
26392And who''s going to wear it?
26392And who-- who came off best, Hibbert?
26392And you call it an explanation? 26392 And you decline to do what Moncrief has done-- withdraw from the petition?"
26392And you do n''t know how it happened?
26392And you do n''t know what became of the spy?
26392And you, Newall?
26392And-- and-- what do you say, Stan?
26392Angry with you? 26392 Answer you what, Stan?"
26392Any other pretty bits? 26392 Are the other fellows all right-- Plunger and Moncrief, I mean?"
26392Are they? 26392 Are you all right?"
26392Are you all right?
26392Are you alone?
26392Are you feeling better?
26392Are you hurt?
26392Are you sure?
26392Are you, Freddy? 26392 Breach of promise?"
26392Broke it? 26392 But after----""After?
26392But how are you going to do it? 26392 But how is it settled?
26392But how-- where-- when?
26392But what can he want with Mr. Weevil, and what can Weevil want with him?
26392But what information does he want to get that makes him wear disguises?
26392But who''s the other fossil? 26392 But why are n''t you outside, enjoying yourself with your class- mates?"
26392But why should he send in paragraphs to the_ Record_ against you?
26392But you do n''t understand the dust that Newall, Parfitt& Co. are kicking up? 26392 But, I say, could n''t we just have some lovely games, if we only had a raft like that?"
26392But, who''ll be Man Friday?
26392By the by, how is Hibbert going on?
26392By yourself?
26392Ca n''t you guess?
26392Ca n''t you guess?
26392Ca n''t you have the man arrested?
26392Ca n''t you see? 26392 Ca n''t you speak?
26392Can not you see?
26392Can there be two of them in there, do you think?
26392Come, what''s to be done? 26392 Did any boy leave his dormitory after lights were out last night?"
26392Did he really send that message?
26392Did n''t I always say what Percival was? 26392 Did n''t I tell you what a hypocrite I was-- how wicked?"
26392Did n''t you find it rather cold in the corridor last night-- eh?
26392Did n''t you say you''d got the flag in that parcel, Plunger?
26392Did n''t you see him?
26392Did you hear it? 26392 Did you hear what I said?"
26392Did you hear what I said?
26392Did you leave your dormitory that night?
26392Did you notice the flag we were standing under?
26392Did you or did you not set those fellows on to keep me in the shed?
26392Do I understand that you wish to see me?
26392Do I understand that you, Moncrief major, who proposed this resolution, now wish to withdraw it?
26392Do n''t I? 26392 Do n''t you know who the enemy is?
26392Do n''t you think that a man like that deserves to die, Hibbert? 26392 Do you deny that this letter"--he held up the anonymous letter, with its cramped, disguised handwriting--"is the work of your hand?"
26392Do you hear me? 26392 Do you know anybody at the school?"
26392Do you know for certain that it''s been taken by some fellow here?
26392Do you know young Plunger? 26392 Do you know, Hibbert, you''re a very good little chap to speak of me as you do, and to think of me as you do?
26392Do you mean it?
26392Do you mean to say Moncrief fought with Wyndham?
26392Do you really?
26392Do you remember that afternoon when I came to you in the writing- room and told you Mr. Travers wished to speak to you?
26392Do you see it-- do you see who it''s meant for?
26392Do you think she''s hiding somewhere?
26392Do you think so? 26392 Does Moncrief agree to that?"
26392Does he sleep well?
26392Does it matter much? 26392 Does n''t Mr. Weevil like my seeing Hibbert?"
26392Doing what?
26392Doing?
26392Dost thou like the Mystic Circle?
26392Engineering the flag means-- what? 26392 Fighting?"
26392Fits to a T. Does n''t it, Harry?
26392For whom were you posting this letter-- Moncrief major, or Moncrief minor?
26392Found it?
26392Going to explore? 26392 Going to fight a Beetle, is he?"
26392Gone?
26392Good-- good? 26392 Good?
26392Got it?
26392Got the flag?
26392Got what?
26392Guess?
26392Hallo, Devey, what''s wrong?
26392Hallo, Hibbert, is that you?
26392Has he been crying to Weevil?
26392Have n''t I said, stupid-- because it was got from us by force? 26392 Have n''t you seen any of the other fellows?
26392Have the youngsters in your dormitory been ill- treating you?
26392Have they gone?
26392Have you been speaking up for me?
26392Have you forgotten me, Percival?
26392Have you heard anything about the flag?
26392Have you heard the news?
26392Have you posted the letter?
26392Have you searched all your pockets?
26392Have you sounded the Camel?
26392He said that-- Mr. Weevil said that? 26392 Hibbert?"
26392How could he dream that anything serious had happened unless he inquired?
26392How could he get to you through the locked door?
26392How did he come to let me out, I wonder?
26392How did you come to know that it was gone?
26392How did you get it?
26392How do you make out that the quarrel has shifted from Moncrief to you, Percival?
26392How do you mean?
26392How do you mean?
26392How do you mean?
26392How do you mean?
26392How else can I look upon you? 26392 How is that?"
26392How''s he got in there?
26392How''s that? 26392 How, Freddy?"
26392How?
26392How?
26392How?
26392How?
26392Hurt, Percival?
26392I do n''t know of any hiding- place, except----"Except what?
26392I do n''t mind myself, but-- but-- I do n''t want any harm to happen to-- to----"The one who sent you-- eh? 26392 I have n''t disturbed you, have I?"
26392I hope the other fellows have n''t got into trouble through me?
26392I put him off the scent, did n''t I?
26392I say, Freddy,he presently burst out,"is n''t it time that I did a bit of punting?"
26392I say, Stan, is it right what I hear-- that Percival is to be kicked out of Garside?
26392I suppose, after that affair at the sand- pit, you were quite the hero of your school?
26392I think he''s a bit better now; are n''t you?
26392I think you said you were going to Redmead?
26392I thought I heard my name?
26392I trust they are n''t Englishmen, sir?
26392I walked away,he echoed;"and then?"
26392I wonder if I''ve been missed?
26392I wonder if he will shun me like the rest?
26392I wonder if the light''s out now?
26392If you ca n''t believe anything I say, what''s the use of asking me questions? 26392 In the well?
26392Is he coming, does any one know? 26392 Is it likely we''d play a trick on you, Newall?"
26392Is it possible that he could have seen me leave the dormitory?
26392Is it the porter?
26392Is it worth while my giving names?
26392Is it-- is it?
26392Is n''t he always by himself? 26392 Is that all you call it?"
26392Is that all, Plunger?
26392Is that what they''re saying?
26392Is there any chance of that man you called Zuker coming back?
26392Is there not also in that same Form one named Leveson, famous timekeeper, owner of a stop- watch?
26392Is your father a friend of the master''s-- Mr. Weevil, I mean?
26392Is-- is he dead?
26392It is generous of you to plead for him, but after what has happened, how is it possible for him to remain?
26392It is n''t right, is it, Harry?
26392It was somebody, but who?
26392It''s rather a late hour to patter German or science, is n''t it?
26392It''s smooth enough here, but what must it be like on the sea, eh?
26392It''s this to do with it-- how could Percival be playing tricks with the flag, and fishing at the same time a poor little chap out of the river? 26392 It_ is_ for you, is n''t it?"
26392Jolly good likeness, is n''t it, Baldry?
26392Kind of Plunger to take so much trouble, is n''t it?
26392Kitchen stuff''s fattening, is n''t it?
26392Leapt into my place?
26392Let''s work my reasons out as you worked yours-- shall we? 26392 Like Robinson Crusoe, you mean?"
26392Look here, Devey, are you in the chair, or am I? 26392 Looking for me?"
26392Lost your tongue?
26392Lost your tongues, eh? 26392 Many things happen on a Saturday; but what is the one thing that happens in particular?"
26392May I ask in what way his friendship has been proved?
26392Mellor, you mean-- once a Gargoyle, now a distinguished Beetle? 26392 Mind?
26392Mistake? 26392 My, is n''t old Baldy carrying on?"
26392My, what will happen when they find out their mistake? 26392 Nice little girl, is n''t she?
26392No change?
26392Not explained? 26392 Now are you satisfied?"
26392Now, Plunger, where do you say the flag is? 26392 Oh, I say, have you seen the last number of the_ Record_?
26392Oh, the Gargoyles do go in a bit for physics-- eh?
26392Oh, why did n''t you let me die? 26392 Oh,"said Baldry, when Harry had ended,"that''s Plunger''s little game, is it?
26392Percival''s inside?
26392Percival, did you say? 26392 Percival, is it really you?
26392Really? 26392 Really?"
26392Right? 26392 Running away-- eh?"
26392S''posing we go for the old game--''Hot boiled beans and very good butter''? 26392 Say?
26392See what?
26392Seen anything of Moncrief major?
26392Shaking hands with him?
26392Shall I be coming across an unknown lake presently, or a race of pigmies? 26392 Shall we send an answer?"
26392Shot him?
26392Silent, eh? 26392 Singing what?"
26392Slippery things, eels, are n''t they?
26392Smash us? 26392 So they were obliged to release the man, and he got off scot- free?"
26392So you''ve brought the flag back to Garside?
26392So-- Are you sure you are all right?
26392Speaking of my brother?
26392Splendid little joke, is n''t it, Harry?
26392St-- stop it, will you?
26392Still here, Percival? 26392 Supposing I had; how does that help?"
26392Supposing Percival did pull the youngster out of the river, what''s that to do with the flag?
26392Supposing it is a Beetle, which of them could have done it? 26392 Surer?
26392THE BOY WAS KNEELING BESIDE HIM,--IT WAS MONCRIEF MINOR....''ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?'' 26392 Tell me what happened?"
26392Tell me-- do tell me-- all about it?
26392That wo n''t do? 26392 That''s about the ticket, is n''t it, Arbery?
26392That''s over a week ago, is n''t it?
26392That''s the reason he''s been left behind, is it? 26392 The enemy?"
26392The fellows were discussing me as I came in?
26392The flag we were standing under?
26392The flag?
26392The letter-- well, what about it?
26392The same? 26392 The school flag?
26392The whistling?
26392Then what''ll happen?
26392Then who-- who''s-- in-- the shed?
26392Then why did n''t you explain?
26392Then why do n''t they come after their property and try to get it back again?
26392There''s no one, I suppose, who would like to repeat Paul''s experience in the well?
26392There''s really no fear of that man, Zuker, coming back?
26392There, there; you must n''t get excited, or I shall be blamed for letting Master Percival in to see you, and he wo n''t come again, will you?
26392They have rough speech as well as rough ways, have n''t they?
26392They were still fighting as you left?
26392They wish to become brethren?
26392Thou belongest to the Third Form?
26392Thought it was a slashing number? 26392 Thought you said you''d got the flag, ass?"
26392Time and purpose?
26392To business? 26392 Tongue- tied-- eh?
26392Two novices who are anxious to be introduced to the mystic order?
26392Want a balancing- pole, do n''t you?
26392Want? 26392 Was it all a dream?"
26392Was n''t I right? 26392 Was n''t to be opened till you got to the school, was it, Plunger, in the presence of Leveson-- eh?"
26392Was there ever such a wriggler?
26392We are glad thou hast obeyed the call; but where is thy brother novice-- Henry Moncrief?
26392Wearing a false beard, then?
26392Well, Harry, what do you want?
26392Well, Moncrief; why do n''t you answer?
26392Well, Percival, what have you to say against this last charge?
26392Well, but what could be his purpose? 26392 Well, but what''s become of the other fellows on the raft-- Moncrief, Sedgefield, and the others?"
26392Well, but where do I come in?
26392Well, have you nearly finished?
26392Well, thirdly and lastly: Do n''t you think it will be better to keep what we know up our sleeves for the present, in view of what may come after?
26392Well, well, what happened then?
26392Well, well, what of it?
26392Well, what are you thinking about, old chap? 26392 Well, what if he is?
26392Well, what is it? 26392 Well, what is it?"
26392Well, what the dickens are you staring at?
26392Well, what''s happened?
26392Well,asked Baldry breathlessly, as soon as lights were out,"how did you get on, Freddy?
26392Well-- what of it? 26392 Well?"
26392Wha-- what''s he to do?
26392Whales?
26392What about it? 26392 What about the flag?"
26392What about?
26392What are the asses doing with the box? 26392 What are the damages?"
26392What are you doing here, youngster?
26392What are you fishing for, Plunger?
26392What are you going to do with him?
26392What are you going to do with him?
26392What are you going to do?
26392What are you grinning at? 26392 What are you making that row for, you little ass?"
26392What are you playing the silly goat for?
26392What asylum have you escaped from, kiddie?
26392What can I say, Wyndham?
26392What can Mr. Weevil do down here? 26392 What could he be doing on that ship?"
26392What did he say? 26392 What did this friend do?"
26392What do you mean?
26392What do you mean?
26392What do you want to know? 26392 What do you want with me, Hibbert?"
26392What do you want with me?
26392What do you want? 26392 What does it all mean?"
26392What does it feel like to be a Beetle?
26392What does it feel like, being a Beetle?
26392What does this mean?
26392What else should I mean?
26392What fellow can rest easy now that our flag''s been hauled down? 26392 What for?"
26392What happened? 26392 What happens?
26392What has become of that promising junior whose name rhymes with hunger? 26392 What have I done-- what have I done?"
26392What have they got to say about Plunger?
26392What have you been doing this afternoon, Percival?
26392What have you been saying about me?
26392What have you got there?
26392What is it, Percival?
26392What is it, dear?
26392What is it, old fellow? 26392 What is it?"
26392What is it?
26392What is it?
26392What makes you think that?
26392What of it? 26392 What of it?"
26392What on earth are you driving at?
26392What on earth has the little ass been doing with himself?
26392What paper?
26392What price you? 26392 What purpose?"
26392What purpose?
26392What shadow are you talking about?
26392What the deuce is Parfitt glaring at me for?
26392What was it he asked for?
26392What was it he had to tell me, I wonder?
26392What was it, Paul? 26392 What was it?"
26392What way? 26392 What were they doing?"
26392What were you up to? 26392 What''s brought you here?"
26392What''s good enough for a Gargoyle is n''t good enough for a Bede-- is it, Bedes?
26392What''s he got in his arms, I wonder? 26392 What''s he up to now?"
26392What''s in the wind?
26392What''s it going to do?
26392What''s it to do with you-- eh?
26392What''s that to do with it?
26392What''s that to do with the Fifth any more than the rest of us?
26392What''s that-- a letter?
26392What''s that? 26392 What''s that?"
26392What''s that?
26392What''s that?
26392What''s the ass giggling for?
26392What''s the lunatic laughing at now?
26392What''s the matter? 26392 What''s the matter?"
26392What''s the use of worrying over trifles? 26392 What''s the''realms of Creepy- crawly, Shivery- shaky''I wonder?"
26392What''s to be done, Freddy?
26392What''s to be done?
26392What''s too great an honour, may I ask?
26392What''s wrong, Falcon?
26392What''s wrong, sir? 26392 What''s wrong?"
26392What''s your name?
26392What, do n''t you see it, Freddy?
26392What-- at Garside School?
26392What?
26392What?
26392When did your opinion alter?
26392When was it missed?
26392Where am I standing?
26392Where can I hide myself,panted Plunger--"where?"
26392Where did I get it from? 26392 Where did you find it?
26392Where did you see him?
26392Where do you come in, Paul?
26392Where does that lead to, I wonder?
26392Where is he off to, I wonder?
26392Where on earth can he be going?
26392Where''s he making for? 26392 Where''s the flag?"
26392Where''s the other fellow?
26392Where, then, can it have gone?
26392Where-- where? 26392 Where?
26392Where?
26392Whereabouts in Redmead?
26392Who are you? 26392 Who are you?
26392Who brought the flag back? 26392 Who could help it?
26392Who do you say was to be up in the tree at the back of the Forum and pull the string?
26392Who has taken it?
26392Who has told, then-- who has given information to the police, to what is called your Secret Investigation Department-- if it is not you?
26392Who is the little chap? 26392 Who questions it?"
26392Who showed you this place? 26392 Who wants to keep me out?"
26392Who''ll take the empty bed? 26392 Who''s going to wear it?"
26392Who''s our fellow?
26392Who''s there?
26392Who''s there?
26392Who, then? 26392 Who-- who are you?
26392Who-- who moved the resolution?
26392Who-- who''s been doing this?
26392Who-- who? 26392 Whose hat?"
26392Why did I leave you to yourself? 26392 Why did I leave you, Stan-- why did I leave you?"
26392Why did n''t he explain?
26392Why did n''t you stop him from playing about on the river? 26392 Why did she do that, Freddy?"
26392Why did you make that promise?
26392Why did you strike Newall? 26392 Why do n''t you do the same as the rest of the fellows, and clear out?"
26392Why does n''t Stan come-- why does n''t Stan come?
26392Why does n''t he look up?
26392Why have you come a second time to my help?
26392Why not take him there? 26392 Why not-- why should n''t we leave it at that?"
26392Why not? 26392 Why not?"
26392Why should I have spoken? 26392 Why, I thought he told you that he would n''t speak?"
26392Why, what''s the matter, Camel? 26392 Why-- why, what''s that?"
26392Why? 26392 Why?
26392Why? 26392 Why?
26392Why?
26392Why?
26392Will it do?
26392Will you open that door? 26392 Will you take a message for me?
26392Work what?
26392Would n''t it be jolly fun?
26392Would you like to meet him?
26392Would you mind taking my hand, Moncrief?
26392Would you really?
26392Wretched and miserable, you say?
26392Write something?
26392Wrong? 26392 Yes, yes; but where are you going?"
26392Yes,Paul candidly admitted;"and you-- you''re one of the Bede''s, are n''t you?
26392Yes; what can he want up there? 26392 Yes; what of it?"
26392You are mocking me?
26392You are sure of it?
26392You ca n''t remember the man''s name, I suppose?
26392You do n''t happen to have seen it?
26392You do n''t mean to say that this is what happened to you?
26392You do n''t seem to be enjoying the fun, Moncrief?
26392You do n''t think that I''m going to clear out for any of you Lower Form cubs, do you?
26392You know that twaddle in the_ Gargoyle Record_ about the poet being stuck for a rhyme to''hunger''?
26392You know the charge against you?
26392You know this book?
26392You mean fighting?
26392You mean going down the well again?
26392You mean it?
26392You mean that you''re going to be Crusoe?
26392You mean to suggest, I suppose, that some of the fellows here took the flag?
26392You really mean it?
26392You remember that afternoon when the flag was lost?
26392You remember that day when you were set upon by a dozen or so of the sweet cherubs from Bede''s?
26392You said that you have received the flag from a friend, if my memory serves me-- a proved friend?
26392You saw what happened, Percival?
26392You still hold to your wish that Percival should be expelled from Garside?
26392You understand?
26392You were at the sand- pit this afternoon, Waterman?
26392You were n''t in any way concerned in it?
26392You would not have me break it?
26392You''d give him a lesson in punting, would n''t you, Freddy?
26392You''ll come again, Percival?
26392You''re not deaf as well as tongue- tied-- eh? 26392 You''re not going to be a moper, are you?
26392You''re not making fun of us, Plunger, are you?
26392You''re one of the bounders of Garside, are n''t you?
26392You''re quite certain that it was Percival you saw?
26392You''re quite certain you posted it?
26392You''re riding Mr. Moncrief''s horse, Falcon?
26392You''re right there; but now what''s to be done?
26392You''ve been through it all, of course?
26392You, was it? 26392 You-- you do n''t like the name?"
26392You-- you wo n''t want me?
26392You?
26392You?
26392Your father? 26392 Your guess was that Percival opened my desk, and stole the papers?"
26392_ Ach!_ And do you know who that man was?
26392_ Ach!_ Is it possible?
26392''Why should I have spoken?''
26392A near thing, you said; what happened?"
26392A tumble?"
26392After Wyndham''s explanation, how was it possible for Paul to refuse the hand held out to him?
26392After all, why should n''t I have had a hand in it?
26392After, what could I think?
26392Am I clear, Stan?"
26392Am I clear?"
26392Am I standing on my head or my heels?
26392An echo, or some one calling him by name?
26392And he gave you back my letter?
26392And the chain-- what happened to the chain?"
26392And the message?
26392And then if he confessed the real reason of his absence from his dormitory, who would believe him?
26392And then, as though Heaven had inspired him, he turned to Paul suddenly with a hopeful light in his eye:"Can you ride, my lad?"
26392And what did he do?"
26392And what were they going to do with them?
26392And when I get out again, do you know what I mean to do?"
26392And where did it lead?
26392And yet how else could he have acted?
26392And you brought it back, I understand?
26392And you expect me to accept it?"
26392And-- and if you do n''t mind, I''d like to know yours?"
26392And-- and-- where are you taking us?"
26392Any more paragraphs for Jessell?
26392Anything more?"
26392Are you following me?"
26392Are you forgetting the promise you made to me so soon?
26392Are you forgetting what you said just now-- you were with me last night in Dormitory X?"
26392Are you going there?"
26392Are you insured?"
26392Are you listening?"
26392Are you sure there''s anybody in the shed at all?"
26392As your memory''s so good on that point, perhaps you can remember what else was said?"
26392At length he said, breaking the silence:"Did father ever speak of it?"
26392Been moulting?"
26392Besides, would a fellow who''d done a splendid thing like that stoop to such a mean thing as the other?"
26392Better than Gaffer Quelch''s, eh?
26392But I think I went one better when I got that paragraph in the_ Record_, eh?"
26392But how about the explanation he asks for?
26392But how are you going to work it?
26392But how could he prevent it?
26392But how did you know that?
26392But how was it you came by the back way?"
26392But is this really what happened to you, Percival?"
26392But there''s the honour of the school, and do you know what they''re saying?
26392But was n''t it fortified?"
26392But what makes you ask?
26392But what''s that to do with the raft?"
26392But what''s up?
26392But where is the flag?"
26392But why are you worrying about an invasion?"
26392But, I say, Wyndham, what are you going to do with the specimen you''ve got?
26392By himself?"
26392CHAPTER L FOUND OUT Why had the master produced the Black Book?
26392CHAPTER V THE LITTLE HUNCHBACK"What is your name, my lad?"
26392CHAPTER XLVII IN THE FOX''S HOLE What had become of Paul?
26392CHAPTER XXX HIBBERT FINISHES HIS STORY"Is he in pain?"
26392Ca n''t you see that they''ve got Moncrief major completely under their thumb?
26392Can it be that Percival''s plotting against his own school, can it be that he is betraying us to the enemy-- those beastly Beetles?"
26392Can we believe anything from the fellow who shakes hands with a Beetle-- with the enemy of Garside?"
26392Can we make for it?"
26392Can you explain that?"
26392Cheeky bounders, are n''t they?"
26392Clear up everything?
26392Close in here, is n''t it?
26392Cold in the corridor last night?
26392Could it be that his uncle Moncrief was paying him a surprise visit?
26392Could it be that the four he had seen were concerned in that plot?
26392Could it be the same?
26392Could it have been that Hibbert had failed him, or worse, could it have been that Hibbert had deceived him?
26392Could it have been that he had been arrested?
26392Could n''t you have let me know?
26392Could they have gone away together?
26392Devey?"
26392Did he ever tell you how he managed it?"
26392Did he suspect there was a listener behind?
26392Did n''t I hear you say you were a chum of cousin Stanley''s?"
26392Did n''t you see that?"
26392Did you know his father?"
26392Directly Newall caught sight of him, he turned towards him fiercely:"Do you know anything of this?
26392Do n''t be so awfully modest?
26392Do n''t you feel well?
26392Do n''t you think so, Moncrief?"
26392Do they call what I''ve just gone through pleasure?"
26392Do you follow me?"
26392Do you hear him, Moncrief?
26392Do you hear?"
26392Do you know anybody of that name?"
26392Do you know him?"
26392Do you know what it means?"
26392Do you know what they are saying?"
26392Do you know, Percival, I''m beginning to think you an authority on the right thing to do?
26392Do you mind taking my arm?
26392Do you mind?"
26392Do you really mean that the flag was brought back by him?"
26392Do you recollect that, too?"
26392Do you remember that Percival on one occasion-- during last vacation-- helped a gentleman in distress by acting as his messenger?"
26392Do you remember that?"
26392Do you see how it fits in?
26392Do you think so?
26392Do you think the fellows here will look down on me for snivelling?"
26392Do you think the fellows will be pleased to see me?"
26392Do you understand?"
26392Do you understand?"
26392Do you understand?"
26392Do you want anything?"
26392Do you?"
26392Does n''t he deserve it?"
26392Does n''t he ever get angry with you?"
26392Does n''t it say somewhere in the Bible that we ought to confess our sins?"
26392Dost thou understand?"
26392Enough to lift your hair off, was n''t it, Moncrief?"
26392Ever seen a petrified mummy?
26392Fight him?
26392Fight you?
26392For what else could he have stolen from the dormitory in the dead of night?"
26392For what purpose?
26392For what?
26392Friendship?
26392Go away-- turn on my heel?
26392Good, is n''t it?"
26392Got you at last, have I?
26392Had an accident befallen him, or had he grown weary?
26392Had he acted as his father would have wished him to act had he been living?
26392Had he been following some phantom, or had Mr. Weevil really sunk through the ground?
26392Had he disgraced that flag-- the legacy of a brave soldier?
26392Had he dishonoured it?
26392Had he done right in the sight of God?
26392Had he gained any information as to the missing flag?
26392Had he heard Mr. Weevil aright?
26392Had he heard of the decision come to by his Form, and instead of waiting to be expelled, had he left of his own accord?
26392Had he no intention of going for Wyndham?
26392Had he not avoided him, when he might have given a helping hand?
26392Had he not met Paul on that day staggering along with his burden?
26392Had he opened it and read it?
26392Had he seen the curtain move?
26392Had he stolen a march upon Plunger and the others?
26392Had help come when it was too late?
26392Had his dealings with science taught him some dark secret by which he could make himself invisible?
26392Had his friend deceived him?
26392Had his nature suddenly altered, or what had happened?
26392Had it ever been there?
26392Had it fallen into the hands of the enemy, Newall and his lot?
26392Had it injured a foot or leg?
26392Had the eyes closed never to open more?
26392Had you a hand in it?"
26392Half- holiday, was n''t it?
26392Has it brought its bib and tuck and feeding- bottle?"
26392Has it miscarried?"
26392Has the doctor been to him?"
26392Have n''t I said that nothing you can say will make me shrink from you?"
26392Have n''t we a perfect right to get possession of the enemy''s flag if we can?"
26392Have n''t you ever suspected the reason why he would not stand up to me?"
26392Have n''t you heard?
26392Have they got any clue?"
26392Have you ever noticed what happens on a Saturday?"
26392Have you heard?"
26392Have you lost your tongue, Harry?"
26392Have you met him before?"
26392Have you sent for me to mock me?"
26392He could n''t bring it himself, because of an accident----""An accident?"
26392He had been nowhere near the master''s desk, so what was the use of speaking?
26392He had turned away, like a frightened cur, from Wyndham; but who could accuse him of being a coward after what had happened that day?
26392He might succeed in getting past the master''s room, but what then?
26392He must, therefore, have lost it since; but where-- where?
26392He seems to have been a wretched, contemptible spy; but what''s wrong with you?"
26392He was about to call out to Harry when a voice he had not yet heard called out sharply:"Gargoyle with the eyebrows, what is thy name?"
26392Heard her squeal?"
26392His cousin, then, had his enemies?
26392Hooking you out of that river?
26392How are you going to get the flag?"
26392How can that be when your name is Hibbert?"
26392How can that be?"
26392How could Paul answer him?
26392How could Stanley tell his cousin that it was he-- Stanley Moncrief-- who had actually moved that Paul should be expelled from the school?
26392How could he be false to that promise-- how could he give information which might cause his death?
26392How could he blame him?
26392How could he convince him that he was in Dormitory X that night, for had he not crawled under the bed at the time he looked in?
26392How could he doubt Hibbert, the one boy at Garside who had so clung to him and who was at that moment lying on a bed of sickness?
26392How could he fight me?
26392How could he get an explanation of what had happened?
26392How could he hope to reach it without being overtaken by the men who were so keenly pursuing him?
26392How could he let that letter pass through the hands of Mr. Weevil?
26392How could he put him on his guard?
26392How could he tell Hibbert what he had been doing that afternoon-- the discovery he had made, what he had seen and what he had heard in the cave?
26392How could he tell the man before him in what way Wyndham had proved his friendship to him?
26392How did it get there?"
26392How did it happen?"
26392How did the little beggar get to know what was going on, I wonder?"
26392How did you manage to get hold of the flag?
26392How do you make that out?"
26392How do you mean, sir?"
26392How do you mean?"
26392How do you mean?"
26392How else could they have shaken hands together?"
26392How goes it, Levy?"
26392How had he managed to get out?
26392How had he proved his friendship?
26392How is it possible to hide there?"
26392How many times have you been here before then, may I ask?"
26392How much longer would Mr. Moncrief keep him in suspense, and what had become of Zuker?
26392How on earth had it got there?
26392How should they suspect a hiding- place like this?
26392How should they suspect that when the hounds were in full chase of the fox, he had a hole to retreat to where they could never follow?"
26392How was he to act?
26392How was it possible to clear up that scene in the sand- pits?
26392How was it the spy got away?"
26392How were they to act?
26392How''re the birds, beasts, and fishes getting on?
26392How, then, had Percival come by it?
26392How-- how can I tell them?"
26392I do n''t see why I should n''t do as well as the rest of them, do you, Percival?"
26392I have often seen you amongst the other Beetles; but you do n''t live about here, do you?"
26392I hope he''s never worried himself much about that raft accident?"
26392I hope you do n''t look upon me as an enemy?"
26392I hope you''re not sorry I followed you?"
26392I like little surprises-- don''t you?
26392I wonder if anybody would know who it''s meant for?
26392I wonder if we shall ever get it back again?"
26392I wonder what his people are like?"
26392I''m to be in the tree, you say: but where will you be?"
26392If Mr. Weevil had passed along that tunnel in safety, why should n''t he?
26392If he''s innocent, why does n''t he explain?"
26392If it ever gets about the school that I''ve been made a Beetle under the Garside flag, what will the fellows think of it?
26392If it was n''t Percival, who was it?
26392If so, was the letter he had handed back to Hibbert to post the same letter that he-- Paul-- had written?
26392If so, what use were they making of it?
26392If the letter''s at the bottom of the well, how, in the name of wonder, are you going to get it up again?"
26392If you have a good catch, ask us to supper, wo n''t you?
26392Into whose hands had it fallen?
26392Is Harry all right?"
26392Is anything wrong?"
26392Is he projecting further adventures in desert islands, or giving lessons in punting?
26392Is he still at Garside?"
26392Is it about the Black Book, I wonder?"
26392Is it asking too much of you to go back with me?"
26392Is it necessary to keep it a secret any longer?"
26392Is it the same now as it was then-- that no quarter would be given to a spy, I mean?"
26392Is it to hear reproaches from your lips that I have risked so much-- that I have involved myself in these schemes of yours which may mean my ruin?"
26392Is it your wish to withdraw also?"
26392Is n''t it splendid, Moncrief?"
26392Is n''t that stunning, pa?"
26392Is that clear enough?"
26392Is that clear, too?"
26392Is that it?"
26392Is that true, too?"
26392Is that true?"
26392Is that you?"
26392Is the world going round, or is it standing still?
26392Is this the first time you''ve been here?"
26392Is young Hibbert out?"
26392Is-- isn''t it jolly?"
26392It did n''t matter, did it?"
26392It was a couple of miles to the police- station, but what of that?
26392It''s all clear enough, is n''t it?"
26392It''s an awfully lazy sort of morning, do n''t you think, Percival?"
26392It''s awfully funny, is n''t it?
26392It''s nice to have a memento of your friends, do n''t you think so?"
26392Jolly good, is n''t it?
26392Just as Paul came in sight of it flying from the turret, a timid voice sounded in his ear:"Is that Garside, please?"
26392Just tell me frankly who sent you with this letter?
26392Keeper of the Portal?
26392Know it?
26392Let me see, where did I leave off?
26392Let me set you right with the Form?
26392Leveson thinks that awfully smart, I s''pose?
26392Made out of horses''hoofs, is n''t it?
26392Matron''s really gone?"
26392Meanwhile Leveson went to the door, and demanded:"Who''s there?"
26392Moncrief?"
26392Moncrief?"
26392Moncrief?"
26392No answer coming from his victim, he spoke again:"You want me to fetch Wyndham?"
26392No; why should I be?"
26392No?
26392None the less, where was he?
26392Now can you understand what I have suffered, Percival, by having this terrible secret on my mind?
26392Now perhaps you''ll tell me how you got here?"
26392Now, then, are you ready?
26392Now, what I say is this-- Baldry is n''t such a bad name, as names go, is it, Moncrief?"
26392Oh, I was speaking about the man who was a spy on your father on that day Mr. Weevil entered the room, was n''t I?"
26392Oh, why did n''t you let me die-- why did n''t you let me go down in the river?
26392Or could it be that the illness of the Head had taken a turn for the worse?
26392Percival is----""I beg pardon, but did I hear some one mention my name?"
26392Perhaps that is what he is making for?"
26392Perhaps you can recall it, sir?"
26392Perhaps you have forgotten?
26392Perhaps, after all, it had been written by Stanley?
26392Promise me that you''ll forget it?"
26392Recollect it?
26392Seasick?"
26392Shall I go on?"
26392Shall I go or sha n''t I?"
26392Shall I tell you what for?
26392Should he enter it?
26392Should he make the venture?
26392Should he speak, or should he remain silent?
26392Should he speak-- should he speak?
26392Should he turn back?
26392So where was the use of groping along in the darkness?
26392So who''s to be the victim?"
26392So why could n''t they have let me cross the river on it-- eh?"
26392So, coming to a swift decision, he turned to the latter:"If I fight for the Form, will that settle the quarrel between you and Moncrief?
26392Some one down?
26392Stands Scotland where it did?
26392Strange, was n''t it?"
26392Supposing I am perfectly ready to accept your statement, do you really believe that the school will be as ready to accept it?"
26392Supposing a Beetle had done you, a few weeks back, a splendid turn-- got you out of a tight corner in which you might have lost your life?
26392Supposing we do n''t go?"
26392Surely it was the old flag-- the flag of Garside?
26392Surely not?"
26392Surely the master had not again followed unconsciously in his footsteps?
26392Taking advantage of the absence of Dr. Colville, eh?"
26392That was good, was n''t it?"
26392That was where Stanley was?
26392That''s Percival, is n''t it?"
26392That''s it, is n''t it?"
26392That''s what you''ve come for-- eh?"
26392That''s why you''re poking your head into the lion''s den-- eh?"
26392The flag, did n''t you say?"
26392The gentleman I was introduced to in the visitors''room this afternoon was your father, Israel Zuker, you say?"
26392The head boy of the Fifth is one named Hasluck, is he not, wearer of goggles?"
26392The mystic order?
26392The one you ran away from at the sand- pits?"
26392The scoundrels have gone, you say?"
26392Then he shouted across to the Bedes:"I say, Beetles, is that champion of yours coming on an ambulance?"
26392Then resting there, with his head bowed on his arms, he searched his conscience, and asked himself the question--"Have I done right?"
26392Then, looking round:"Where''s matron?"
26392Then, turning smilingly to the boy:"What would you do if you were in my place, Hibbert?"
26392Then, turning to Hasluck,"Shall I let him in?"
26392There was silence between them for a minute or two, then Wyndham exclaimed:"Are you going back to Garside?"
26392They have n''t got wind of our meeting, have they?"
26392They kept up the groans for me till they were tired, I suppose?"
26392They''re too selfish-- aren''t they, Harry?"
26392Things are awfully slow at Quelch''s since Plunger left He''s a big pot at Garside, is n''t he?"
26392Things were awfully slow there, were n''t they, Harry?"
26392Tired of life-- eh?
26392To Paul''s wonder the master fell on his knees beside the bed, and, taking Hibbert''s hand in his, murmured:"Tim, Tim, what have they done to you?
26392To confess to failure and defeat?
26392To the sand- pit?"
26392Travers?"
26392Trounce?"
26392Trounce?"
26392Turned up again, have you?"
26392Two Crusoes are quite enough at one time, do n''t you think?"
26392Was Newall in earnest, or was he poking fun?
26392Was he awake or dreaming?
26392Was he awake or sleeping?
26392Was he awake or was he dreaming?
26392Was he in jest or earnest?
26392Was he not the son of Zuker?
26392Was he sleeping?
26392Was he standing on his head or his heels?
26392Was it for this I told you my secret?
26392Was it going to claim her son as it had claimed her husband?
26392Was it indeed Percival, or was it his ghost?
26392Was it me, I should like to know, or one of the little prigs from Gaffer Quelch''s?"
26392Was it meant to mislead him?
26392Was it not the same spirit of curiosity which had first led him to that place?
26392Was it possible that some one else had entered the tunnel?
26392Was it possible that the flag was actually in their possession?
26392Was it really a being of flesh and blood?
26392Was it really the old flag?
26392Was it that which was troubling him?
26392Was it the same?
26392Was some desperate plot on foot against them?
26392Was some one really following him, or was it only the echo of his own footsteps?
26392Was that scene, after all, as it had more than once seemed, only a dream?
26392Was the cave still there?
26392Was the little chap dead?
26392Was there anybody on board?
26392Was there anything else in his question?
26392Was there ever such insolence?
26392Was this only a ruse on his part to make him shake hands with Newall, or had Newall taken leave of his senses?
26392Was yet another and more serious charge to be made against Percival?
26392Waterman had talked about"things clearing up,"and"coming into his own"; but would things ever clear up?
26392We can all answer as to that, I think?"
26392We sha n''t forget it in a hurry-- shall we, Baldry?"
26392Weevil?"
26392Well, do you see now what Parfitt means to insinuate?
26392Well, supposing all this, could you have fought him?"
26392Well, the next point is, what''s the answer to be?"
26392Were they in league together?
26392Were they mocking him, or was he under a delusion?
26392What a shadow his deformity must cast upon his life?
26392What about it?"
26392What about it?"
26392What am I to do?"
26392What answer was possible to these mocking jibes?
26392What are we to think after what we''ve seen?"
26392What are you doing here, sir?"
26392What are you doing here?"
26392What are you doing?
26392What are you fagging with there?"
26392What are you stopping for?"
26392What better place could be selected for the desert island?
26392What branch of the animal kingdom do you belong to?"
26392What can he want up there?"
26392What care?
26392What could Paul say?
26392What could Wyndham want with a little quiet talk with a Gargoyle?
26392What could any of us think?"
26392What could be better than making some of those wretched Gargoyles eat humble pie under the very flag they were so proud of?
26392What could the plot be?
26392What did Parfitt mean?
26392What did happen?
26392What did he want with you?"
26392What did it all mean?
26392What did it mean?
26392What did it mean?
26392What did it mean?
26392What did that mean?
26392What did you do that for?"
26392What do you know?
26392What do you mean?"
26392What do you think of your master-- eh?
26392What do you think?"
26392What do you want, old fellow?"
26392What does he want?"
26392What does it matter to you?
26392What fellow?
26392What fellow?"
26392What followed?"
26392What had become of Hibbert''s father?
26392What had become of him?
26392What had become of them?
26392What had happened to it?
26392What had happened?
26392What had happened?
26392What had he to do with forgiveness?
26392What had he to tell him about the man Zuker?
26392What had his absence from his dormitory to do with the theft from the master''s desk?
26392What had the master done with his letter in the few brief moments he had had it in his possession away from Hibbert?
26392What happened?"
26392What has come over him?
26392What have you been up to?
26392What in the name of wonder was that?
26392What is it you want with me, my lad?"
26392What is it you want with me?"
26392What is it?"
26392What is it?"
26392What is your name?"
26392What is your name?"
26392What letter was it?
26392What makes you think that?"
26392What mystic order?
26392What news?"
26392What news?"
26392What of it?"
26392What of mine?"
26392What ought to be done?
26392What price for Baldry, eh?
26392What then?"
26392What was Percival''s game?
26392What was coming out about the flag now?
26392What was happening?
26392What was he about to do?
26392What was he about to do?
26392What was he doing at St. Bede''s?
26392What was he doing with that fellow, Wyndham, who knocked about your cousin so unmercifully at the sand- pits?
26392What was he to do with the message Mr. Moncrief had asked him to deliver to Stanley?
26392What was he to do?
26392What was he to do?
26392What was he to sit tight on?
26392What was his motive?
26392What was it I told you?"
26392What was it Wyndham wanted with him?
26392What was it his father had said?
26392What was it like?"
26392What was it that was so important?
26392What was it that was weighing on his mind?
26392What was it the spy did?"
26392What was it to do with the question whether Percival should or should not be expelled?
26392What was it, then?
26392What was it?
26392What was that something?
26392What was that?
26392What was that?
26392What was that?
26392What was the cause of his absence from the school?
26392What was the defeat of Stanley-- the wound of his pride-- compared with it?
26392What was the good turn?"
26392What was the meaning of it?
26392What was the use of Crusoe without the noble savages?
26392What was the use of exploring the tunnel further?
26392What was the use of going back when no one wanted him?
26392What was the use of going farther?
26392What was there to keep me there?
26392What was to be done?
26392What was to be done?
26392What was to be done?
26392What was to be done?
26392What were they going to do with him-- with Moncrief?
26392What were you doing there?
26392What were you doing with the Beetle we saw you with near the sand- pits this afternoon?"
26392What will they say when they see Percival stagger out instead of''old Baldy?''"
26392What will you do?"
26392What would happen?
26392What would his uncle say to him when he next visited Redmead?
26392What''s come over you, Freddy?"
26392What''s happened?"
26392What''s he afraid of?"
26392What''s our next move?"
26392What''s that to me?"
26392What''s that?
26392What''s that?
26392What''s that?
26392What''s that?"
26392What''s the best rhyme for Baldy?
26392What''s the kingdom you''ve sprinted to-- animal, vegetable, or mineral?
26392What''s the next step?"
26392What''s the school coming to-- that''s what I should like to know?"
26392What''s the time, Levy?"
26392What''s the use of making such an awful smoke?"
26392What''s the use of trying to pay back to him what you owe to me?"
26392What''s to be done?"
26392What''s wrong?
26392What''s wrong?"
26392What''s your answer?"
26392What''s your game, blockhead?"
26392What''s your letter about?"
26392What''s your objection, Moncrief?"
26392What''s your reason?"
26392What, then, had happened?
26392What, then, was his duty?
26392What, then, was the meaning of it?
26392What-- what''s the matter?
26392What-- what''s wrong with him?"
26392What?"
26392What?"
26392What?"
26392When are the silly fellows going to stop it?"
26392When he thought he was right off, the master startled him by opening them to their widest extent, as much as to say,"Thought me napping, did you?
26392When would his lips be unsealed?
26392When would the time arrive that he might take steps to defend himself?
26392When you''ve grown out of that you will know better, wo n''t he, Bedes?"
26392When, therefore, my dear boy or girl, you are tempted to play with fire, will you remember the sad fate of little Archie Wyndham?
26392Whence did the light come?
26392Where are you running to in such a hurry?"
26392Where are your eyes?"
26392Where can he have got to?"
26392Where did he pick up that foreign accent, I wonder?"
26392Where did the flag come from?
26392Where did you get it from?"
26392Where does that other passage- way lead to?"
26392Where had it gone to on that day it had fallen from his pocket?
26392Where had the master disappeared to?
26392Where in the name of wonder did you spring from?"
26392Where is Moncrief?"
26392Where was I?
26392Where was he standing?
26392Where''s the well?"
26392Where, then, had Zuker gone?
26392Where?
26392Which of them could have made his way into the school without being seen, and then got to the door in the turret?"
26392Who are you?
26392Who brought you here?"
26392Who could forget it?
26392Who could it be?
26392Who do you say they''re meant for?"
26392Who else could tell you?"
26392Who had it, and how did you get it back to Garside?
26392Who is he, I wonder?"
26392Who is he, I wonder?"
26392Who is this Stanley Moncrief?"
26392Who pushed him into the river?"
26392Who was guilty?
26392Who was it suggested we should follow Percival?
26392Who was it?"
26392Who was the culprit?
26392Who were in the barn?
26392Who were they-- do you know?"
26392Who were they?"
26392Who-- who was it?
26392Who?
26392Who?
26392Who?
26392Why could n''t Newall have selected Moncrief minor?
26392Why could n''t you explain to your friend?"
26392Why did n''t I guess it?
26392Why did n''t you explain yours?"
26392Why did n''t you get them to explain?
26392Why did n''t you let me go down in the river?
26392Why did n''t you mention it before?
26392Why did they ever let you loose from Gaffer Quelch''s?"
26392Why did you save me?
26392Why did you save me?"
26392Why do n''t you let me speak and set you right?"
26392Why does n''t he come?"
26392Why had Zuker come there?
26392Why had he demeaned himself by asking a fellow like Newall to shake hands with him?
26392Why not?
26392Why not?"
26392Why on earth should n''t he, if he likes it?
26392Why should he?
26392Why should n''t I have a hand in it?
26392Why should n''t there be two Crusoes?"
26392Why should n''t we?"
26392Why should the Fifth have it all to themselves?
26392Why should there be any mystery?"
26392Why should we be left out in the cold, eh?"
26392Why should you shrink from betraying him?
26392Why were they discussing him?
26392Why would you stay away?"
26392Why-- why did n''t you let me know?"
26392Why?
26392Why?"
26392Why?"
26392Will it be left empty?"
26392Will that satisfy you?"
26392Will you do it?"
26392Will you let me know what you think?"
26392Will you meet me quietly, by yourself, just for a few minutes, Stanley?"
26392Will you shake hands with him?"
26392Would he be found out?
26392Would he ever win back the honour of the Form, and the confidence of those who belonged to it?
26392Would he open it, or would he send for Percival?
26392Would he pull through?
26392Would it be possible for him to reach it without being seen by Mr. Weevil?
26392Would you mind doing that for me?"
26392Would you mind waiting here for a few minutes?
26392Yet-- yet, if he were to leave Hibbert, what would happen to him?
26392You and I, Freddy?"
26392You are sure?"
26392You call that a good turn?"
26392You do n''t mean to say you funk it?"
26392You do n''t mean to say you saw anything funny in it?"
26392You do n''t mind us putting that off for a bit?
26392You do n''t think me ungrateful?"
26392You have n''t been climbing to the turret in your sleep, and hauling the flag down just for the fun of the thing, have you?"
26392You have n''t forgotten the rules?
26392You have n''t forgotten?"
26392You have n''t made me swallow dirt, have you?"
26392You here?"
26392You know Redmead?"
26392You remember what happened to me on the night I took that packet to Oakville?"
26392You remember?"
26392You think him a precious scoundrel-- eh?
26392You think that he ought to be with Zuker in the river-- eh?"
26392You waited after I left the sand- pit, you say, to see what would happen?
26392You want to explain-- eh?
26392You were struck, you may remember, with the name of the boy who saved Tim''s life?"
26392You will make it up with him-- you will be friends with him once more?"
26392You will not part with them whatever happens?"
26392You wish to fight it out to the bitter end?"
26392You would n''t wonder at it from an old stager like you, Baldry, or Sedgeley; but from a fresher-- well, it''s awful, is n''t it?
26392You''ll look out for me at Garside, wo n''t you?"
26392You''re going to Mr. Walter Moncrief, his brother-- eh?"
26392You''re joking?"
26392You''re not angry with me, are you?"
26392You''re not angry with me, are you?"
26392You''re not going to cry off, are you?"
26392You''re not going to follow his lead, are you?"
26392You''re quite certain it was the same?"
26392You''re quite sure of that?"
26392You''re supposed to meet the Beetles at half- past three, are n''t you?"
26392You''ve come in his stead-- eh?"
26392You-- you ask that?"
26392Your first term, is n''t it?"
26392Zuker and Brockman-- the same tenants as before, or had some one else come into possession?
26392Zuker''s voice softened wonderfully as the words passed his lips; then it hardened again, as he demanded:"How was it my son came to betray me?"
26392[ Illustration:"THE BOY WAS KNEELING BESIDE HIM,--IT WAS MONCRIEF MINOR....''ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?''
26392bang-- where should we all have been?
26392he kept repeating; then suddenly stopped, and confronting Paul astonished him by abruptly demanding:"And what do you think of me-- eh?
26392to Mr. Moncrief?
