27533Are you going to walk out, or am I going to carry you?
27533Are you his promised wife?
27533Assume a virtue if you have it not?

27533Et tu, Brute?

27533Father,she said, standing upright in the middle of the room before them,"I have come to know what it is that you mean to do?"
27533George Robinson is here; who wants his name?--and why?
27533Has not she renounced me?
27533Has-- my partner-- promised-- her hand to you?
27533Have not I sown, and are not you to reap? 27533 Have you?"
27533I have n''t got the money; have I, George?
27533I say, young man,said Brisket,"do you know who that young woman is?"
27533I suppose you''ve heard of him, George?
27533If she be not fair for me,he sang to himself,"what care I how fair she be?"
27533If she''s bought the thingumbob at your own price, why do n''t you give it her?
27533If the hats sold from the different marts be not good enough, with whom does the fault rest? 27533 If we could, what good would that do us?"
27533Is it rob?
27533Is it the police? 27533 Is she gone, George?"
27533Madam, what can I do for you?
27533Maryanne,he began again,"ca n''t you find out about this Johnson?"
27533Maryanne,said Robinson,"why is that man here?"
27533Maryanne,said he,"will you renounce William Brisket?"
27533Miss O''Brien, where is the salmon- coloured sarsenet? 27533 Mr. Brown, why is he here?
27533Mr. Robinson, may I give you a little of this cheese?
27533Must I still be as the bee, whose honey is robbed from him as soon as made? 27533 My dearest daughter, what was it?"
27533My dears, wo n''t Mr. Brisket have his dish of tea now it''s here?
27533Never again to clasp her hand in mine?
27533Never again to speak to her?
27533No, indeed; why should you?
27533Oh, George, are you going so?
27533Oh, George; so you are there, are you? 27533 Oh, Mr. Brown, is this prudent?"
27533Oh, we do n''t want any nonsense,said Maryanne;"do we, George?"
27533Perhaps you can swim?
27533Perhaps you will tell me that that is not true?
27533Poppins, tell me this; was Hamlet mad, or did he feign so?
27533Shall I never enjoy the fruits of my own labour?
27533Shall I say''Maryanne?''
27533Shall we open, George?
27533That means sowing, do n''t it?
27533That''s all very well, and I hope you do; but why did you make a row with that man the other night?
27533That''s not the way we manage these things now- a- days, is it, Polly?
27533That''s the one I mane, with the price;--how much was it, Miss Biles?
27533Then he had it after all?
27533There are three questions,said Robinson,"to be asked and answered.--Had Mrs. B. the power to make a will?
27533Think you that love such as mine is no torment? 27533 This next first of June as ever is?
27533To do, my dear?
27533To what purpose? 27533 Well, miss,"said Sarah Jane;"and is n''t he a partner?"
27533What am I to do with him?
27533What business has he there? 27533 What chance can he have?"
27533What does it mean?
27533What does the man mean by hauling a female about that way?
27533What does''impetuous''mean? 27533 What doing?"
27533What matters it?
27533What then?
27533What''s the good of putting down 5,000 Kolinski and Minx Boas in the bill, if we do n''t possess one in the shop?
27533What''s the use of shilly- shallying?
27533What''s''argentine?'' 27533 What; when Brisket was after her?"
27533What; you will never be a bride?
27533When he is able to move, and the house is taken away from us, what am I to do with him? 27533 Where you are, George?"
27533Wherefore all this noise?
27533Which of them?
27533Who cares? 27533 Who has filled the shop below with such a throng of anxious purchasers?"
27533Who is it wants the name of George Robinson?
27533Who wants you to go on? 27533 Who''ll care for your card?"
27533Who''s to make pa go when once we begin in that way? 27533 Why did n''t you give that man the money when you had it?
27533Why do n''t you produce something, so as to make the world richer?
27533Why is it,he said as he looked down into the turbid stream--"why is it that bloodshed, physical strife, and brute power are dear to them all?
27533Why not, my own one?
27533Why not?
27533Will it ever be said of me when my history is told that I spent forty thousand pounds a- year in advertising a single article? 27533 Will you give Brisket those five hundred pounds?"
27533Will you take a chair?
27533Will you take a cup of tea, George?
27533Would you esteem me the more because I had deceived my partners? 27533 Would you have me betray my trust?"
27533Would you hint to me that she is false?
27533Would you, now? 27533 Would''st thou drink up Esil?
27533Yes, Mr. Brown; you may repaint iron and wood; but who can restore the faded colours to broken hopes and a bankrupt ambition? 27533 Yes; why not?
27533You mean the advertising people?
27533You would be more or less than mortal did you not? 27533 A coward, is it? 27533 After all, is n''t it better so, than you should find her out when it was too late? 27533 Ah, tell me that; what business has he there?
27533Ai n''t you, Em''ly?"
27533Am I not to look to myself?
27533Am I to look after the world?
27533Am I to protect the man who demands from me a cheap hat?
27533And if it be so, why have you come hither to torment me?"
27533And if she do n''t get the value for her money, whose fault is that?
27533And if so, what was the will she made?"
27533And if the shawl is not exactly a real diagonal Osnabruck cashmere, what harm is done as long as the lady gets the value for her money?
27533And is not the word"respectable"the highest term of praise which can be applied to the British tradesman?
27533And might it not be well for her to forget that other Samson, and once more to trust herself to her father''s partners?
27533And now you wo n''t quarrel with me, will you, though I have a little thrown you over like?"
27533And she had answered him with terrible harshness,"But what am I to do when you have no longer a morsel to share with me?
27533And then mother had n''t the money when the pinch came, and, of course, Brisket was n''t going to be put upon;--why should he?
27533And then what could you expect of Brisket?
27533And what am I to do with him?"
27533And what do you think, Em''ly?
27533And what''s the use of capital unless we buy a stock?"
27533And when he came himself, ten minutes afterwards, what was I to say to him?
27533And when she tries to buy for 4_l._, a shawl which she thinks is worth about 8_l._, is n''t she dealing on the same principles herself?
27533And where am I to go then?
27533And where should Jones have gotten it?"
27533And where''s the hundred pounds of ready to come from?"
27533And who could n''t have done it if he had n''t been here?"
27533And who was it interfered?
27533Are not Pawkins and Johnson all the same to the public?"
27533Arn''t they all helping themselves hand over hand, except you?
27533Ay, Maryanne; when shall I forget it?
27533Brisket?"
27533Brisket?"
27533But as it was, what business had he there?
27533But for that, who would these fardels bear?"
27533But for what purpose had she so eagerly demanded it?
27533But how will you begin unless you attract your customers?"
27533But how would it be with him when that sale should be over, and when he would be called upon to leave the premises and walk forth into the street?
27533But in what words would it be right to depict the conduct of Jones?
27533But then how did these great men begin?
27533But then how was he to begin?
27533But to what had such triumphs led him?
27533But what artist can ever repaint our aspirations?
27533But what he said was this--''If you''re so fond of the fellow, why do n''t you have him?''"
27533But what recks it?
27533But what says the poet,--he whom we teach our children to read?
27533But who can say what must become of us?
27533But why?
27533But with what are you to polish it?
27533But with whom has the fault been?
27533But you ca n''t wonder at me, George; can you?
27533Ca n''t we make''em bankrupts?"
27533Come, Brisket, will you jump with me into yonder river?
27533Could Poppins have seen this, while he was blind?
27533Could not a man be sufficient for himself alone?
27533Did I not with my own hand in this room renounce you?"
27533Did n''t I, Em''ly?"
27533Did not the old man promise that she should be mine?
27533Did the fair girl choose to give her admirer one chance, or was it that she was careful not to crush her starch by too rapid an entry?
27533Do n''t you see that she''s not going to have him?"
27533Does n''t the word speak for itself?
27533From whence are to come those five hundred pounds without which William Brisket will not allow your daughter to warm herself at his hearthstone?"
27533Had four thousand pounds gone, and was there no profit?
27533Had he advertised?
27533Had he not one bride in commerce, a bride that would never scold; and would it not be well for him to trust his happiness to her alone?
27533Had n''t I, now?"
27533Have I done this for her,--the false one?
27533Have you paid the money down, dear?"
27533He next declares that I ca n''t write English, and that the book must be corrected, and put out by an editor?
27533He still finds that his sale is not rapid; and with a view of increasing it, what shall he do?
27533How can a man withstand the assault of a bull?
27533How did Barlywig begin such an outlay as that?
27533How had he been able to preserve this sum from the young woman''s hands, pressed as he had been by her and by Brisket?
27533How is everything going on at the Hall of Harmony?"
27533How will any lady hereafter forgive herself, who shall fail to profit by such an opportunity as this?
27533How would men treat him when he should no longer be the same Robinson?
27533I did bring four thousand pounds into it; did n''t I?"
27533I suppose you''re so bad you ca n''t eat a bit of nothing?"
27533If a tradesman can induce a lady to buy a diagonal Osnabruck cashmere shawl by telling her that he has 1,200 of them, who is injured?
27533If it were as true as heaven, would any one believe it?
27533If so, did she make a will?
27533In the first place, did you ever see an advertisement that contained the truth?
27533Is Barkis willing?"
27533Is Hamlet true?"
27533Is it commonplace?"
27533Is it not with the customers who purchase them?
27533Is it rob to me?
27533Is it so?
27533Is it the fact that I am the junior partner in the house of Brown, Jones, and Robinson?"
27533Is n''t it a fair stand- up fight?
27533Is not that a matter which ought to fill one with melancholy?
27533Is not the passion for cheap purchases altogether a female mania?
27533Is not the world a collection of individuals, all of whom are doing so?
27533Is that man to be your husband?
27533It is very good while it lasts, but what is to come after it?
27533It will come to pieces when worn and disgrace you among your female acquaintances by becoming dinged and bulged?''
27533Jones?"
27533Looking at it all through, George, I have been treated hard;--haven''t I, now?"
27533Maryanne''s principles is good, and that''s everything;--ain''t it?"
27533Maryanne, when shall be our wedding day?"
27533Must not credit be respectable?
27533My heart was high on other matters, and why should I have sacrificed myself?
27533Of what use is all this about adulteration?
27533Or for her--?
27533Or had he contented himself simply with standing behind his counter till customers should come to him?
27533Poppins was wounded sorely about the head and stomach, and of what nature was the balm which his wife administered?
27533Robinson?"
27533Robinson?"
27533Robinson?"
27533Shall I not take the goods the gods provide me?"
27533Shall I say, also, of every Father?
27533Shall he make his felt hats better, or shall he make his wooden hat bigger?
27533Shall the corn itself never be my own?"
27533She assumes a virtue, though she has it not; and who will say she is not right?
27533She shall be mine, and in order that she may be mine, I must request to know what is accurately the state of our account?"
27533Should I do him good?
27533Should I have gained anything had I allowed that huge monster to hammer at me?"
27533Should not one''s own flesh,--the bone of one''s bone,--bind up one''s bruises, pouring in balm with a gentle hand?
27533That was uncommon civil, was n''t it?
27533That''s all done and over now;--isn''t it?"
27533The books had nominally been kept by himself; but who can keep the books of a concern, if he be left in ignorance as to the outgoings and incomings?
27533The first words were everything, and what should be the first words?
27533The fox had made good his prey, and who could say where it was hidden?
27533The long and short of it is this; is Barkis willing?
27533The supply on hand is immense, but as a sale of unprecedented rapidity is anticipated, may I respectfully solicit your early orders?
27533Then wherewith shall we polish credit?
27533They ought; ought n''t they?
27533They''re always pecking at you; and a fellow feels that if he''s in for it, what''s the good of his fighting it out?"
27533Think you that I have no heart, no feeling; that this passion which tears me in pieces can exist without throwing a cloud upon my life?
27533To what purpose?"
27533Was a man bound to produce true shirts for the world''s benefit even though he should make no money by so doing;--either true shirts or none at all?
27533Was he to put down such numbers as those in his sacrificial catalogue?
27533Was he wise in this that he was doing?
27533Was it accident, or was it not?
27533Was it ever supposed that any man believed an advertisement?
27533Was it not the climax of all his glories, and the sweetest drop which Fortune poured into his cup?
27533Was there aught of pleasantness in that grinding tongue of his friend''s wife?
27533We all must live, you know, but then it''s only hand to mouth; is it?"
27533We ca n''t both marry her; can we?"
27533What am I to do at all, and my things all desthroyed?
27533What could a poor girl like me have done to satisfy you?"
27533What could he do with a poor gross of hose, numbered 7 to 10?
27533What does he care for me?"
27533What else have I?"
27533What had John Gilpin done that had made him a citizen of renown?
27533What had she done to deserve such degradation and misfortune?
27533What has the world to offer equal to the joy of gratified love?
27533What idea can, in its own nature, be more harrowing to the soul than that of a TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE?
27533What is Brisket to me, or what is your daughter?
27533What is anything?"
27533What is the pageantry to me?
27533What says the stern moralist to his wicked mother in the play?
27533What triumph is there so triumphant as that achieved by valour over beauty?
27533What was I to do then?
27533What was Robinson to do?
27533What was Robinson to do?
27533What was Robinson to say?
27533What was it they were saying to him?
27533What was she that she should talk to him about spirit?
27533What was there to enjoy in the fate of Poppins, and what in the proposed happiness of Brisket?
27533What will the Geese do if you''re not there?"
27533What''s a man worth if he wo n''t stand up for his young woman?
27533What''s the good of hoping?
27533What''s the meaning of partnership, if nobody''s to know where the money goes to?"
27533What''s the use of all them lawyers?"
27533What''s the use of windows if we have n''t anything to dress them?
27533What''s the use?"
27533When are they to be married, Miss Twizzle?"
27533When you are ruined, or dead, where must I then look for support and shelter?"
27533Where am I to get my things?
27533Where has the money gone to?
27533Who but a harpy would have alluded to the comforts of a rival''s domestic establishment at such a moment as that?
27533Who can make a widow understand that she should not communicate with her boy in the colonies under the dishonest cover of a newspaper?
27533Who can restrain thee and forbid thy further progress?
27533Who cares about your way?"
27533Who did it all?
27533Who do you think there is here, Bill?"
27533Why are you here?"
27533Why do you allow her to trouble you?"
27533Why is it that commercial honesty has so seldom charms for women?
27533Why is your daughter''s former lover here on the eve of her marriage with me?"
27533Why should I stay?
27533Why should I?
27533Why should his tailor send him the book of B., J., and R.?
27533Why should not he also have his statue?
27533Why was it, that at this eventful period of Robinson''s existence Mrs. Poppins should have turned against him?
27533Will you give me your word, as a man, never to have nothing more to say to Maryanne Brown?"
27533Would I not stand with her at the altar to- morrow, though my last half- crown should go to the greedy priest who joined us?
27533Would''st thou eat a crocodile?"
27533Yes; and where might she not be with Mrs. Poppins?
27533You have been working hard and living poor these two years back, and what better are you?
27533You never get near the till, do you?"
27533You remember when that row was, and you were so nigh choking him?"
27533are you George Robinson?
27533but what effect would arise now- a- days from advertising a sale under such a heading?
27533he repeated to himself;"or shall I say a Glorious Fact?
27533or what with a score or two of middling kids?
27533said Mr. Brown;"it''s 81, Bishopsgate Street; ai n''t it?
27533said he, putting out his hand;"or is it to be''Miss Brown?''"
27533to the bridge?
27533was it within the nature of things that his daughters should be kind?
27533what''s that between friends?
33314A human soul? 33314 A word of five letters beginning with''A,''"said H. R."Ca n''t we publish it?"
33314Ai n''t he fine- looking?
33314Ai n''t it great?
33314An eighth?
33314And how is H. R., my dear?
33314And now?
33314And then?
33314And those that would n''t be searched? 33314 And you?"
33314And you?
33314Anything wrong?
33314Are any of you socialists?
33314Are n''t there one hundred perfectly beautiful girls in Greater New York?
33314Are n''t there?
33314Are n''t you a trifle premature?
33314Are n''t you?
33314Are you a Catholic?
33314Are you an Episcopalian?
33314Are you getting the full thirty- cent dinner?
33314Are you there?
33314Ask me what?
33314Barrett, do you get what you want?
33314Barrett, do you see the possibilities?
33314Brings what?
33314But are you perfectly sure you can--"Empress, do n''t you wish it done?
33314But do n''t you think it would be a little gruesome for a desk ornament?
33314But not in Park Row, surely?
33314But what about that ten- thousand- dollar cash to the coupon- holders?
33314But what the dickens can I say?
33314But you''ll come back, wo n''t you, when you are famous? 33314 Can I speak with Miss Goodchild?
33314Can you do the Rutgers Roll?
33314Can you give me,said Mr. Goodchild, seriously,"evidence to prove your statements?"
33314Can you?
33314Did he say he''d come?
33314Did she leave word when she would return?
33314Did you hear it?
33314Did you hear me?
33314Did you recognize the name?
33314Did you see their latest exploit? 33314 Do I?
33314Do I?
33314Do n''t I know it?
33314Do n''t you or do you? 33314 Do n''t you sleep?"
33314Do what?
33314Do you always get what you want?
33314Do you hear your Master''s voice?
33314Do you know,asked H. R., pleasantly,"the Wittelbachs?"
33314Do you mean that you are deliberately going to be a comic- weekly mother- in- law and make me the laughing- stock of my set?
33314Do you mean to tell me you really are the jackass your wife thinks you?
33314Do you mean to treat it as a spectacle--"What else was the Crucifixion to the priests of the Temple?
33314Do you see?
33314Do you want a quarter?
33314Do you want your joint smashed?
33314Do you want,pursued the now optimistic Hendrik Rutgers,"to drink all you can hold?
33314Do you wish me to go? 33314 Do you?"
33314Ever try the Rutgers Roll?
33314Five letters? 33314 Flash?"
33314For instance?
33314For why you wish to know?
33314Free freak show?
33314Grace,he said,"when will you marry me?"
33314Grace?
33314Grace?
33314Has it come to this, in my own house?
33314Have they sent her away?
33314He has given me this absurd notoriety and-- What delays us?
33314He is n''t married, is he?
33314Help you to help our church?
33314Hendrik, do you really love me?
33314How can I stop it?
33314How can you without killing everybody?
33314How do you do, Bishop Phillipson?
33314How do you do, my child?
33314How do you do, my dear?
33314How do you do?
33314How do you do?
33314How do you make that out?
33314How do you mean?
33314How many times your own salary do you wish to earn for me?
33314How may I help you? 33314 How much do you carry?"
33314How much?
33314How would you go about it?
33314How?
33314Huh?
33314I beg your pardon?
33314I say,_ did_ you see the papers? 33314 I was n''t going to ask you for more money, but for a few--""Then why waste my time?
33314I wonder what he has up his sleeve now?
33314I''d like to--"I suppose you would,she acquiesced;"but you ca n''t deny he is an extraordinary person, and--""Do you love him?"
33314If I really loved you, should n''t I know it?
33314If he''s good- looking and has money, what''s wrong with him? 33314 In whose house should our marriage be discussed?"
33314Is a man to be insulted in his own home? 33314 Is he married, Grace?"
33314Is he of the old New Jersey Rutgers?
33314Is he smart?
33314Is it true that he''ll do anything you tell him?
33314Is it true, Grace, that your engagement with H. R. is off?
33314Is there one man among you who believes in God?
33314Is this a free country,interjected Max Onthemaker, vehemently,"or are we in Russia?
33314Is this mother?
33314It''s beer, is n''t it?
33314Left the bank?
33314MacAckus,said Mrs. Vandergilt in her sharp, imperious voice,"why did you do it?
33314Make New- Yorkers give money for charity that they might have spent for their own pleasure?
33314Mr. Goodchild,said Hendrik Rutgers, approaching the president,"wo n''t you please listen to what I have to say?"
33314My help?
33314My signature to what?
33314Nevertheless,he said, with conviction,"Omelette soufflà © e--""What can you expect from the other members?"
33314Not the-- er-- sandwich- men''s parade?
33314Not yet; but I see she has taken up that-- that--"Hendrik?
33314Oh, are you here?
33314Onthemaker?... 33314 Perhaps you''ve read the newspapers?
33314Philadelphia?
33314Recklar tinner?
33314Reggie, you will give me courage at the altar?
33314Same table, same time-- to- morrow?
33314Say, can you beat it?
33314See her?
33314Shall I, Grace?
33314Smart?
33314Suppose,she asked, with a humorously intended demureness,"that I wished to use my handkerchief?"
33314Sure?
33314Then will you tell us why you wo n''t let Mr. Rutgers marry your daughter?
33314They were not all Christians,explained H. R."What is the answer?"
33314Told her what?
33314Torturing the ears?
33314We can submit designs to you, Mr. Rutgers--"To- day?
33314Well, I belong to you, do n''t I? 33314 Well, they say Mrs. Vandergilt does n''t give him time to--""Is he engaged to her?"
33314Well?
33314Well?
33314Well?
33314Wh- what''s the m- matter?
33314What about the men that fell for the beer?
33314What d''ye t''ink I am?
33314What day?
33314What do you mean?
33314What do you say to the eighth?
33314What do you say, Bo?
33314What do you see?
33314What does he look like?
33314What does it mean?
33314What good will that do me?
33314What has Mrs. Goodchild ever done to me, that I should make her a widow?
33314What have you up your sleeve, Mrs. Vandergilt? 33314 What is he going to do?"
33314What is it, Frederick?
33314What is it, mother?
33314What is it? 33314 What is it?"
33314What is it?
33314What is that?
33314What is the new job, anyhow?
33314What is thirty dollars for their dinner to thirty thousand dollars worth of free advertising?
33314What ladies?
33314What''s the Goodchild number?
33314What''s the matter?
33314What''s the name of the restaurant?
33314What? 33314 What?"
33314What?
33314What?
33314When do we begin?
33314Where did you see my advertisement?
33314Where does he get it?
33314Where?
33314Which one is that?
33314Which?
33314Who ca n''t have whom?
33314Who is it? 33314 Who is it?"
33314Who is the man?
33314Who told you?
33314Who? 33314 Why his?"
33314Why not?
33314Why not?
33314Why not?
33314Why not?
33314Why,asked the Fitz- Marlton,"was not our chef considered enough?
33314Why?
33314Will I?
33314Will the Mayor accept?
33314Will you do what I ask, dear?
33314Will you kindly release my hand?
33314Will you oblige me by leaving this house quietly?
33314With your hand for the prize and your love for my reward? 33314 Would n''t you rather have a dollar?"
33314Written?
33314Yes, I know; but could n''t_ you_ induce him to come? 33314 Yes, sir?"
33314Yes; but the word?
33314Yes?
33314Yes?
33314You are what?
33314You did n''t want me to waste your time, did you?
33314You didn''t-- actually-- talk-- for--_publication_?
33314You have n''t talked to her about it?
33314You know me?
33314You read in the papers about the parade my poor fellows had Saturday?
33314You said first- class men?
33314You say I kept somebody out of a job?
33314You wo n''t?
33314You? 33314 Young man,"he asked, with a show of solicitude,"do you expect to become Governor of New York?"
33314_ What?_shrieked all.
33314_ Who_ is it?
333141 and said,"Wolverton is your name?"
33314Afraid?
33314After H. R. had so looked at them, he asked, skeptically,"Are_ all_ of you first- class men?"
33314After all, why should men fight Nature or fight men?
33314After that?
33314After the second minute of suspense they exclaimed in chorus:"What?"
33314Ah, it was not alone modesty, but high social position and inherited wealth that were responsible for"H. R."instead of the full name?
33314All except one, who whispered to H. R.''s counsel:"What in blazes_ is_ sabotage?
33314Also, state why you looked in that particular newspaper?"
33314Am I an ass or have I brains?"
33314And Romanoff?
33314And also see how starving men eat the first square meal of the year?"
33314And can you put on a nice_ patine_?"
33314And do you know the Bernadottes?"
33314And how near is victory?"
33314And is n''t it right to stand by your own flesh and blood?
33314And more than all that, was n''t he a_ novelty_, and she a New York woman?
33314And not kill the scab whose own non- union thirst would prolong theirs?
33314And the Hapsburgs?
33314And the reporters?
33314And the step visibly gained in majesty as he overheard the music of the spheres:"Daddy, who is he?"
33314And what will the boards say?"
33314And what would whatever he said mean?
33314And where shall I land if I keep on hypnotizing the newspapers into giving me columns of space?
33314And who is going to fight for him?
33314And would you believe it?
33314And you, young man?"
33314And you?"
33314And, Barrett?"
33314Another reporter?"
33314Any objections to our marching with a band of music down the avenue to the Colossal?
33314Are you?"
33314At this week''s meeting of our directors Mr. Garrettson asked me:''How is the King of the Sandwiches?
33314At what age did a girl cease to be a_ Girl_?
33314Beekman Rutgers had the nerve to tell me that all the Rutgerses are like H. R. What do you think of that?"
33314Before Barrett could speak H. R. asked,"Nobody would be first?"
33314Before he could speak, Mr. Wilberforce Josslyn said:"Did you stop''em?"
33314Before the Bishop could say anything H. R. went on, very politely:"Will you oblige me by torturing the ears?"
33314Booze?"
33314But Dawson ca n''t do it, not even on time deposits, and--""Scotch for mine,"said H. R."Is Frederick coming?"
33314But H. R. merely asked, pleasantly,"Ready?"
33314But Hendrik drew near and said:"Do you hear?"
33314But I want to tell you right now--""What interest are you going to allow us on our balances?"
33314But before his anger could crystallize, H. R. continued, challengingly:"Who in New York are in need of charity?
33314But do n''t you think she''d make a great one?"
33314But famous?
33314But he said, very kindly, to the reporters,"Gentlemen, will you all be good enough to call at our office before you print anything?"
33314But suppose I still want a raise when I come back?
33314But, say, what''s the matter with you coming in his place?
33314By the way, is this house big enough for the wedding reception?"
33314Ca n''t you imagine a sandwich being made artistic, if I get competent experts to design them?"
33314Ca n''t you recognize the voice?
33314Ca n''t you stop''em?"
33314Ca n''t you tell your reporters that sandwiching at union wages has nothing to do with it?"
33314Can you ask me if I can?"
33314Can you guess?"
33314Can you?"
33314Could I have the Mayor''s acceptance and the permit to parade then?
33314Could he belong?
33314Could n''t he prompt her?
33314Could the newspapers help it?
33314D''ye_ hear_?"
33314Did a quarter of a dollar ever before accomplish so much?
33314Did any clergyman ever tell you that sandwich- men are, beyond the shadow of a doubt, alluded to twice in the Old and five times in the New Testament?
33314Did he expect her to run after him?
33314Did n''t I see the parade?
33314Did n''t people have to have something to talk about?
33314Did n''t$ 614,500 begin with a$?
33314Did not his name come first in the stirring call to the metropolis?
33314Did they?
33314Did you ask why we should have a union?
33314Did you bring the pads and pencils I told you?"
33314Did you ever read what Confucius wrote about''Those men who with letters on their garments dispel the ignorance of buyers,''and a lot more?
33314Did you know that sandwich- men take the place of bells on Good Friday in Moldavia?
33314Did you know that twice in the Old and five times in the New Testament mention is made of the sandwich- men?
33314Did you properly play up the wisdom and glory of being first?"
33314Did you see what I have undertaken to do for your sake?"
33314Did you?
33314Did_ you_ tell him to do it, Grace?
33314Do n''t forget the name, will you?"
33314Do n''t we have to have one, anyhow?"
33314Do n''t you know how beautiful you are?
33314Do n''t you know what newspaper ridicule is?
33314Do n''t you know what to do with your vote?"
33314Do n''t you know-- can''t you see what I am doing?"
33314Do n''t you remember?
33314Do n''t you see?
33314Do n''t you see?"
33314Do n''t you want some bouillon?
33314Do n''t you want the best?"
33314Do n''t you wonder how they do it?
33314Do n''t you?
33314Do you get me?
33314Do you get that, officer?
33314Do you get that?"
33314Do you hear me?
33314Do you know in what esteem sandwich- men are held in the south of France and in the Orient?
33314Do you know what it is to be hungry?"
33314Do you know why Catholic Spain and anti- Semitic Russia alike permit no sandwich- men to ply their time- honored occupation within their confines?
33314Do you know why there are no commercial sandwich- men in Russia or in Spain?
33314Do you mean to say you do n''t know that?"
33314Do you not constantly endeavor, yourself, to be an example, reverend sir?"
33314Do you realize that I am the most- talked- about man in all New York?
33314Do you see your chance?"
33314Do you see?"
33314Do you think I have brains?"
33314Do you think the Mayor will come?"
33314Do you think you can do what you propose?"
33314Do you think you''re the only band in New York or that I never hired one before?
33314Do you understand?"
33314Do you want the infernal reporters to make you ridiculous?
33314Do you wish your humorous friends to say to you, Grace, will you have a caviare husband?"
33314Do you?
33314Do_ you_ expect to end in junk?"
33314Each sandwich bore this legend:[ Illustration: ASK THE PRESIDENT OF THE KETCHAM NATIONAL BANK WHY?
33314Er-- what are they-- what are you going to spring on an enraptured metropolis?
33314Even for your bank, between St. Vincent de Paul and John D. Rockefeller, whom would you choose?
33314Every woman had the same remark and the same grin:"Have n''t I seen my husband?"
33314Everything this eccentric but clever scion of the Knickerbockers owned?
33314Five thousand empty bellies?
33314For figure?
33314For hands and feet and hair?
33314For teeth?
33314For the sake of peace?"
33314Genius?
33314Get that?"
33314Get that?"
33314Grace Goodchild, when asked point- blank if she were engaged to H. R., now answered,"Do you see any engagement- ring?"
33314Grace heard her, and she said, rebukingly,"Yes, absolutely impartial and--""Are you chosen one of the hundred?"
33314Gwathmey?"
33314H. R. asked the first man,"Are you hungry?"
33314H. R. ceased kissing, and spoke rebukingly:"What do you want me to do?
33314H. R. spoke so determinedly that the Bishop could not help forgetting everything else and asking:"How?"
33314Had Mrs. Goodchild ever spoken to this creature?
33314Had a man no privacy in New York?
33314Has Grace told you I''m to be your son- in- law?"
33314Has anybody ever before tried that?
33314Have you ever seen a starving man?
33314Have you read the papers?
33314He asked, sharply,"What is the one thing none of you can sell to me?"
33314He asked,"Are any of you Christians?"
33314He did it with one mild little word:"Well?"
33314He inquired, sternly:"Got any money?"
33314He looked at her and said:"Do_ you_ prefer wealth to fame?
33314He looked so determined that naturally she looked away and said, very softly:"And-- and if I should want you to?"
33314He pursued:"And when?
33314He reduced the problem to its simplest form?
33314He smiled reassuringly and asked her:"Are n''t you going to ask Ethel?"
33314He therefore said,"What''s the matter?"
33314He turned to the others and asked:"Can you_ sell_ advertising?"
33314Hear that?"
33314Hendrik Rutgers turned like a flash to the cashier and said, sharply:"Did n''t you hear?
33314Hendrik stalked into the Colossal dining- room and snarled at one of the waiters:"Where''s your boss?"
33314Hendrik stopped and spoke peevishly to the meek one in the gutter:"Why did you move out of my way?"
33314Hey?
33314Hey?"
33314His voice as he entreated her to wait rang with such anguish that she irrepressibly asked,"What?"
33314How about the_ quality_ of his goods and his_ values_?
33314How could I help it?"
33314How could Mr. Goodchild help it?
33314How could the engagement be off when it never had been on?
33314How do you spell it?"
33314How else can you explain it?
33314How else could they stay in the newspapers except by indignation over the wrongs of social inferiors?
33314How long would he keep it up?
33314How many on the Avenue to- day?"
33314How many points for complexion and coloring?
33314How should she treat him?
33314How to become the fear of the rich and at the same time be respected by the best element?
33314How would H. R. meet this crisis?
33314How would the Kaiser act?
33314How?
33314I wish to say that when it comes to injunctions I''ve got Wall Street gasping for breath and--""Yes, but what about the scabs?
33314I''d like it quite like Celestine''s-- Grace, love, will you run over to Raquin''s spring exhibition at the Fitz- Marlton and look at it?
33314If I can make New York feed the hungry, would it be very difficult for me to make the advertising managers act wisely?
33314If by the first of June nobody even remembers that I had anything to do with sandwiches will you marry me?"
33314If he skimps in that, what wo n''t he skimp in?
33314If he was H. R. to New York, why should he not become H. R. to the nation?
33314If she married Reggie or Mr. Watson or Percival or one of the others, what would her married life be?
33314If she would n''t marry Reggie or the others and did marry H. R.-- But how could she?
33314If that was n''t fame, what was?
33314If they did n''t, what could the editorial writers have to write about?
33314In the end she spoke aloud:"I wonder if he really loves me?"
33314In the mean time, Mr. Goodchild, will you be good enough to pose for our artist?
33314Intuition?
33314Is he all they say he is?"
33314Is it announced?"
33314Is it in English?"
33314Is it necessary to have a permit to parade?"
33314Is it settled?"
33314Is n''t he a wonder?
33314Is n''t he your friend?"
33314Is_ that_ all you are afraid of?"
33314It made him ask, disgustedly:"Do n''t you fellows care who is boss?"
33314Just sign here, will you, please?
33314Kiss her in the vestibule before ringing the door- bell, as if we were plebeian sweethearts?
33314Knowing that he was alluding to her beauty, she said:"What are you talking about?"
33314LOVE GRACE GOODCHILD AND ME TOO][ Illustration: DO YOU BLAME ME FOR WISHING TO MARRY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD?
33314La Touche rose and, turning to the friendly reporters, asked, wrathfully,"How in blazes do I know which is the one Mr. Rutgers liked?"
33314Living at your house yet?''
33314MERCHANT?
33314Mr. Goodchild, thinking of his two plans which were his one hope, asked, abruptly:"Are you a man of your word?"
33314Mulligan, you cop some bottles of booze, and wait outside-- do you hear?
33314Must she flee to Europe?
33314My grandmother has never met you, has she?"
33314No woman had said,"Do you think she is as beautiful as the newspapers try to make out?"
33314Not obey the boss, when they already felt an endless stream trickling down their unionized gullets?
33314Not obey?
33314Not to advertise?"
33314Now you get your best sculptor to model my Ultimate Sandwich by to- morrow, wo n''t you?"
33314Now, how much will you take?"
33314Now, what do you, speaking collectively, do to feed the hungry?"
33314Now, why did we build our huge Cathedral?"
33314Now, you,"he said peremptorily to the proprietor,"do we get the free lunch?
33314Of anything?"
33314Of course, you could fill''em with paper--""Paper?"
33314On his boards the Fifth Avenue crowd on this fair spring day saw this: Do you thank God you are alive?
33314One of the reporters with the air of a man whose life depends upon the bulletin- board asked H. R.:"What''s the answer?"
33314One of them rose and asked H. R.:"Is this all?
33314Only correct my English, wo n''t you?
33314Or a bank president?
33314Or a quick lunch?
33314Or in a taxi in the Park?
33314Or was it merely a scheme to obtain notoriety?
33314Or would even the sight of the most beautiful face in the world pitted and pockmarked fail to shake your own faith in your own infallibility?"
33314Presently he said, loudly enough to be heard by all,"Is this 777 Fifth Avenue?"
33314R.?
33314Really, what human being could wish to speak to him?
33314Rutgers?"
33314Rutgers?"
33314See?
33314See?"
33314See?"
33314Send them to me, Allied Arts Building, wo n''t you?"
33314Shall I prove it?"
33314Shall I take you to mother?"
33314She hated H. R. Was she merely the advertised vulgarity of that unspeakable man whom her family so foolishly had not jailed?
33314She opened her mouth, but he checked her speech by saying, sternly:"Why do you think it is that, having loved you, I can not love any one else?
33314She said, icily, yet with a subtle consciousness of her own humor,"If you wish to worship, why do n''t you try a church?"
33314She tacitly admitted that there was an etiquette of hospitality by asking, coldly,"Why should I marry you?"
33314She wailed:"What shall I do?
33314Shorty McFadden made thirty- five dollars--""Any of you Republicans?"
33314Should H. R. accept greatness to- day and let to- morrow bring the littleness?
33314Should Morality be allowed to interfere with Art?
33314Should she start an inquiry?
33314Since it was a matter of life and death, Grace instantly asked,"_ Who_ is it?"
33314So he asked:"And your-- er-- quite unemotional and sudden interest in this-- er-- affair, Mr. Rutgers....""You mean, where do I come in?"
33314Suppose she was not Number One, after all?
33314Suppose the incubator gets stone cold?
33314Suppose the incubator now refuses to keep up the temperature of 102- 1/2 degrees Fahrenheit necessary to hatch the egg?
33314Talking about interest rates--""How big a balance do you expect to keep with us?"
33314That there might be no misunderstanding, he added, softly,"Do you?"
33314The bartenders were husky, but had n''t the boss commanded,_ Get ready!_ and did n''t all men know he meant,_ Get ready_ TO EAT?
33314The intelligent young man proceeded courteously:"Will you therefore kindly tell us when the wedding will be?"
33314The man''s teeth chattered a minute before he said, huskily,"Wh- what m- must I do?"
33314The older director looked at Mr. Goodchild and began:"Goodchild, will you tell me why--""You, too?"
33314The one Mr. Rutgers likes?...
33314The proprietors looked at the crowds, heard the same remark,"What is it?"
33314Then he asked Grace,"Did you read them?"
33314Then he asked, suspiciously:"You have n''t seen him?"
33314Then, remembering her position, said, coldly,"Will you please leave now and never come back?"
33314Then,"What d''ye want?"
33314To Max Onthemaker he whispered,"Got the papers with you?"
33314To Miss Vandergilt he said, very seriously,"Are you Grace''s friend?"
33314To those who asked for the money H. R. said, sternly:"Do you wish to swallow a quarter or do you want to eat food?"
33314Truly, the gods were kind to H. R."Coming back to our muttons, are you going to introduce us?"
33314Up- stairs Grace, hiding her wrath, overwhelmed by the accursed sympathy of her best friends, said, helplessly,"What can I do?"
33314Vandergilt?"
33314WHY?
33314WHY?
33314Was he a crank or a criminal?
33314Was he serious in his determination to marry her?
33314Was he to be bought off with money?
33314Was n''t it spring, and was n''t he young and fearless?
33314Was she so much to this man?
33314Was she, in sooth, chosen Number One?
33314Was the Public Beauty Commission really competent?
33314Was the food an error, as charitable philosophers have declared?
33314Was this Hendrik Rutgers?
33314Was this the same remarkable person she had almost deified on the way from Raquin''s exhibition?
33314Was this to be their last free meal?
33314Was this what a man became when he ceased to be a clerk?
33314We''ve got to bring father around to our way of thinking, and--""Who is it?
33314Were there one hundred Perfectly Beautiful Girls in New York?
33314What could she say?
33314What did he mean by saying that her troubles were only beginning and that she soon would feel the heavy price of fame?
33314What did this H. R., who was said to be clever, expect such people to answer?
33314What did you say?"
33314What do people who get enough to eat know about starving men?
33314What do you think I am, an ass?
33314What else can a mother say in New York?
33314What had he made of her?
33314What in the name of Maginnis do you call this?"
33314What is it?
33314What is it?"
33314What is the word of five letters beginning with A that will give you ten thousand dollars?
33314What other theory for an employee''s loud talking in a bank?
33314What reply could Mr. Gwathmey possibly make?
33314What shall I do?"
33314What the dickens did believing in God have to do with anything?
33314What was coming?
33314What was he paying taxes for-- to be annoyed by insane adventurers and damned reporters?
33314What was he?
33314What was she to do, and how and when?
33314What was such talk, Grace impartially asked herself, to one who had been madly cheered by thousands?
33314What was the matter with the police?
33314What would become of you if you cease to be Grace Goodchild?"
33314What would he do?
33314What would he say next?
33314What would he say?
33314What would n''t he do?
33314What would n''t the newspapers do when_ she_ married H. R., especially if H. R., prompted by love, really made an effort?
33314What?
33314What?"
33314What?"
33314What?"
33314Whatever she saw in his face made her smile and say, challengingly:"But what?"
33314When eleven stopped for lack of breath the twelfth, who very cleverly had saved hers, asked:"Did they really pick you out, Grace?"
33314When you think of the importance of all advertising, do you consider the peculiar picturesqueness of advertising through sandwiches?
33314Where did you hide your brains all these years, Gracie, dear?"
33314Where does it all come from?"
33314Where should I be if I had n''t been talked about?
33314Which department, please?"
33314Which for yours?"
33314Which one?...
33314Who is it?"
33314Who is the greatest of all press agents, working while you sleep and even when you blunder?
33314Who said the rich had no hearts?
33314Who was he?
33314Why could n''t_ they_ be thus desperately wooed in public?
33314Why did he not acknowledge?
33314Why drag in others?"
33314Why not make permanent a state of mind of the public which does so much to dispel the danger of a bloody revolution?
33314Why not?
33314Why should I?"
33314Why?
33314Will you fix that for us?
33314Will you give us another shot, Bishop?"
33314Will you hear me to the end and not go on at half- cock while I am talking?"
33314Will you kindly tell one of your men to bring my mount along?
33314Will you let me talk business with you?
33314Will you shake hands?"
33314Without competent marshals do you imagine Napoleon could have done what he did?
33314Would not a uniform garment, on the lines of Annette Kellerman''s bathing- suit, be the only fair way?
33314Would that make her one?"
33314Would the wives, daughters, or fiancà © es of the members of the commission be_ hors concours_?
33314Would there be a second Judgment of Paris?
33314Would you believe it?
33314Would you compel starving men--""To eat?"
33314You are angry, are n''t you?
33314You do n''t?
33314You have brains, and I think your heart is a marvelous lute--""A what?"
33314You have seen the sandwich announcements?"
33314You know what publicity means in business to- day, do n''t you?
33314You mean,_ why_?"
33314You read about the tickets for the Mammoth Hunger Feast?"
33314You see K- L. You think machinery means progress, and therefore you do n''t want men, but machines, hey?"
33314You''ll be there sure?"
33314You''ll have to pay him thousands of dollars--""Then, you vas in league mit him?"
33314_ Ach!_"Weinpusslacher,"said Rutgers, irascibly,"who is your lawyer and what''s his address?"
33314_ Do you hear me?_"He gripped the sandwich- man''s arm so tightly that Fleming''s lips began to quiver.
33314_ Hendrik Rutgers was fired!_ Did life hold a darker tragedy than to be out of a job?
33314_ I guarantee this!_""_ HOW?_"burst from three hundred and eighteen throats.
33314_ Me?_"Hendrik''s incredulity was abysmal.
33314_ Say no; wo n''t you, please?_"Hendrik radiated battle.
33314_ What in hell would I do with more money?_ Answer me that!"
33314asked ten thousand who had been asking,"_ What_ is it?"
33314given to me--""Forty?"
33314here I am spending valuable time so as to make you bums into prosperous men--""Where do you come in, Bill?"
33314or a"?"
33314said H. R."By the way, has Grace told her?"
