51297 | How much? |
51297 | How? |
51297 | If you have plenty of money, why in hell did n''t you buy the stuff, instead of stealing it? |
51297 | It may be none of my business, but what is this big item you propose to sell next? |
51297 | Oh, you_ do_ exaggerate a wee, tiny bit, but it''s all in good fun, is n''t it? 51297 Say two o''clock?" |
51297 | Scotch? 51297 The men?" |

7309 | When you sit down to write an important letter, how do you pick out your talking points? |
7309 | Why will you let a few dollars stand between you and success? 7309 Will you let me see your follow- up letters?" |
7309 | ***** Of course he got a big percentage of replies, for what man does not want a big- paying, independent business of his own? |
7309 | ***** Simple, is n''t it? |
7309 | *****"Do n''t you want to know how to add two thousand square feet of display to some department of your store in exchange for twenty feet of wall?" |
7309 | A strong method of closing letters of this sort is to have final paragraphs of this style:"May we tell you more? |
7309 | And how do you like to get it? |
7309 | And to prospective purchasers,"Why do you want to buy Kansas land? |
7309 | Apply this test; is the letter supported with amplified description, proof, materials for ordering? |

7309 | Could any offer be fairer? |

7309 | Does your money"go''round?" |
7309 | Have you the courage to make the start, grasp an opportunity, work out your destiny in this same way?" |
7309 | He interests the reader by direct, personal statements:"Here is the catalogue in which you are interested;""Satisfaction? |
7309 | Here is one of the best pulling arguments: Pay- day-- what does it mean to you? |
7309 | How would a dozen do as a starter for you? |
7309 | How, do n''t you want one of these automatic servants? |

7309 | If he kept up this pace you would be willing to double his wages, would n''t you? |
7309 | If you had to have more money on which to live-- to support those dependent upon you-- could you make it? |
7309 | If, then, our goods will mean to you many times that sum every year is n''t the proposition still more interesting? |
7309 | Is your responsibility great enough-- without the protection of the Regal Company-- to"make good"your own loss? |
7309 | It is n''t much of a job to wipe the point off with a rag, is it? |
7309 | May I look for an early order? |
7309 | May I show you what I think is a more profitable way of advertising these goods? |
7309 | May we send samples and a trial gross? |
7309 | Nothing shoddy about the equipment described in the bulletin, is there? |
7309 | One question was forever on his lips:"Why did you move out here?" |
7309 | Or does it fail to stop all the gaps made by last week''s or month''s bills? |
7309 | Or would you send your star salesman? |
7309 | Say instead,"I hope to hear from you;"or,"I trust we will receive your order;"or,"May we not hear from you?" |

7309 | Shall I hear from you soon? |
7309 | Shall I number you among the"regulars?" |
7309 | So I ask you, would you like to have made for you this season, the most beautiful suit you ever had? |
7309 | So why do you hesitate about buying a block of it?" |
7309 | Such a letter leads out: If your expenses were doubled tomorrow could you meet them-- without running heavily in debt? |
7309 | That would be pretty slow and pretty expensive selling, would n''t it? |
7309 | That''s fair, is n''t it? |
7309 | The cost is so small, and as you take not a particle of risk but can secure full refund of money if dissatisfied, why hesitate to order? |
7309 | The salesman who starts out by saying,"You would n''t be interested in this book, would you?" |
7309 | Then suddenly he asked himself,"What type of man am I really trying to reach?" |
7309 | Then what do you think? |
7309 | There must be a reason, would they not tell him personally just what it was? |
7309 | This letter was sent to lady customers by a mail- order house: Dear Madam: You want a dress that does not sag-- that does not grow draggy and dowdy? |
7309 | We urge you not to keep one of our suits unless it is absolutely perfect;""How did you find that sample of tobacco?" |
7309 | What attracts you?" |
7309 | What do_ you_ like to get when_ you_ answer an advertisement? |
7309 | What would it be worth to you to have a dozen more local advertisers buying your space regularly? |
7309 | When you sit down to your desk to write a letter, how do you get into the right mood? |
7309 | Who will educate your customers and prospective customers if you do n''t? |
7309 | Why call his attention to so evident a fact and give emphasis to the profit that you are going to make on the deal? |
7309 | Why do n''t you rise to the opportunity that is now presented to you?" |
7309 | Why do n''t you shake off the shackles? |
7309 | Why do n''t you throw off the conditions which bind you down to a small income? |
7309 | Why not? |
7309 | Why waste your time, wearing yourself out working for others? |
7309 | Will you Join us in a PERESO cigarette today? |
7309 | Will you go in to see the Diana today? |
7309 | Will you not write me about it? |
7309 | Will you turn to those pages, please? |
7309 | Wo n''t you cast your lot with us now? |
7309 | Wo n''t you drop me a line and let me know what you think about our school? |
7309 | Wo n''t you sit down now, while the matter is right before you, fill enclosed blank and mail me your order TODAY-- THIS MINUTE? |
7309 | Would you care to have me tell you just how I propose to put this unusual grace and style into your suit? |
7309 | Would you despatch the office boy? |
7309 | Would you like now, a suit more stylish, better fitting, more becoming, better made-- MORE PERFECT-- than any other suit you have had? |
7309 | Your friends will ask"Who made your suit?" |
27533 | A drover''s daughter? |
27533 | A hundred pounds down? |
27533 | A name? |
27533 | Ah, tell me that, what business has he here? 27533 And do you mean to say,"said Robinson--"do you mean to say that that is now your wish?" |
27533 | And if you were both blew up, what''d I do then? |
27533 | And is it the fact that by the deed of partnership drawn up between us, I am entitled to receive one quarter of the proceeds of the business? |
27533 | And is my Maryanne mercenary? |
27533 | And she--? |
27533 | And that''s all the answer I''m to get? 27533 And the money''s all gone?" |
27533 | And they are to be married? |
27533 | And was n''t it for sheep? |
27533 | And what am I to do when you wo n''t have neither a bit nor a cup? 27533 And what better advertisement could you have wished?" |
27533 | And what did you do? |
27533 | And what if I do n''t? |
27533 | And what is it you want, Maryanne? |
27533 | And what is my share for the year now over? |
27533 | And what shall we really say to them on Monday? |
27533 | And what the better are you for that? 27533 And what will they do with us?" |
27533 | And what will you do, George? |
27533 | And when you did make it,continued Maryanne,"why did n''t you see it out?" |
27533 | And when you have n''t a morsel, how will it be then? 27533 And where''s the money to come from, if not out of the house? |
27533 | And who brought that crowd to the house? |
27533 | And who has he got to blame but his own want of spirit? |
27533 | And why do you not like it? |
27533 | And why not, Polly? |
27533 | And why should others be more simple than you? 27533 And will it not please her to become mine?" |
27533 | And will we be took to prison? |
27533 | And wo n''t there be any more about it? |
27533 | And would you have had me become a thief? |
27533 | And you would have me put up''Pawkins of Staleybridge,''and thus render the firm liable to an indictment for libel? 27533 And you''ve been with Brisket?" |
27533 | Are you going to rob the shop? |
27533 | Are you going to walk out, or am I going to carry you? |
27533 | Are you his promised wife? |
27533 | Assume a virtue if you have it not? |
27533 | Brisket will not be there? |
27533 | But if I have n''t got it, my dear? |
27533 | But if you ran aground in the mud, where are you then? 27533 But now;--why should I suffer now?" |
27533 | But we shall see each other occasionally,--as friends? |
27533 | But what I want to know is this,continued the maiden;"how is it to be about that five hundred pounds which my mother left me?" |
27533 | But what good does it do? 27533 But what reasons?" |
27533 | But what shall I say to the man? |
27533 | But when? |
27533 | But you would n''t call him a-- a--"A what? 27533 But, George--""Is there no honesty left in the world, Mr. Brown? |
27533 | But--"Is it not simple? 27533 Ca n''t we do anything to''em, George? |
27533 | Can they? |
27533 | Could n''t we change it to Tomkins of Leeds next week? |
27533 | Could n''t we have a shirt of our own? |
27533 | Could n''t you say that they are such as are worn by the Princess Alice? |
27533 | Did mortial man iver see the like of that? 27533 Did n''t he though? |
27533 | Did you ever believe an advertisement? |
27533 | Did you now? |
27533 | Do I meddle with you in the shop? |
27533 | Do I remember? 27533 Do I wish her to wait? |
27533 | Do you know what Barlywig has spent on his physic; Barlywig''s Medean Potion? 27533 Do you know what Katakairion means?" |
27533 | Do you know, Poppins, what I did twice,--ay, thrice,--in those dark days? |
27533 | Do you think he does n''t understand how to do all that better than you can tell him? 27533 Does it fail to be attractive? |
27533 | Does it want vigour? |
27533 | Et tu, Brute? |
27533 | Et tu, Brute? |
27533 | Father,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?" |
27533 | George Robinson is here; who wants his name?--and why? |
27533 | Has not she renounced me? |
27533 | Has-- my partner-- promised-- her hand to you? |
27533 | Have not I sown, and are not you to reap? 27533 Have you?" |
27533 | I have n''t got the money; have I, George? |
27533 | I say, young man,said Brisket,"do you know who that young woman is?" |
27533 | I suppose you''ve heard of him, George? |
27533 | If she be not fair for me,he sang to himself,"what care I how fair she be?" |
27533 | If she''s bought the thingumbob at your own price, why do n''t you give it her? |
27533 | If 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?" |
27533 | Is it rob? |
27533 | Is it the police? 27533 Is she gone, George?" |
27533 | Madam, what can I do for you? |
27533 | Maryanne,he began again,"ca n''t you find out about this Johnson?" |
27533 | Maryanne,said Robinson,"why is that man here?" |
27533 | Maryanne,said he,"will you renounce William Brisket?" |
27533 | Miss O''Brien, where is the salmon- coloured sarsenet? 27533 Mr. Brown, why is he here? |
27533 | Mr. Robinson, may I give you a little of this cheese? |
27533 | Must I still be as the bee, whose honey is robbed from him as soon as made? 27533 My dearest daughter, what was it?" |
27533 | My dears, wo n''t Mr. Brisket have his dish of tea now it''s here? |
27533 | Never again to clasp her hand in mine? |
27533 | Never again to speak to her? |
27533 | No, indeed; why should you? |
27533 | Oh, George, are you going so? |
27533 | Oh, George; so you are there, are you? 27533 Oh, Mr. Brown, is this prudent?" |
27533 | Oh, we do n''t want any nonsense,said Maryanne;"do we, George?" |
27533 | Perhaps you can swim? |
27533 | Perhaps you will tell me that that is not true? |
27533 | Poppins, tell me this; was Hamlet mad, or did he feign so? |
27533 | Shall I never enjoy the fruits of my own labour? |
27533 | Shall I say''Maryanne?'' |
27533 | Shall we open, George? |
27533 | That means sowing, do n''t it? |
27533 | That''s all very well, and I hope you do; but why did you make a row with that man the other night? |
27533 | That''s not the way we manage these things now- a- days, is it, Polly? |
27533 | That''s the one I mane, with the price;--how much was it, Miss Biles? |
27533 | Then he had it after all? |
27533 | There are three questions,said Robinson,"to be asked and answered.--Had Mrs. B. the power to make a will? |
27533 | Think you that love such as mine is no torment? 27533 This next first of June as ever is? |
27533 | To do, my dear? |
27533 | To what purpose? 27533 Well, miss,"said Sarah Jane;"and is n''t he a partner?" |
27533 | What am I to do with him? |
27533 | What business has he there? 27533 What chance can he have?" |
27533 | What does it mean? |
27533 | What does the man mean by hauling a female about that way? |
27533 | What does''impetuous''mean? 27533 What doing?" |
27533 | What matters it? |
27533 | What then? |
27533 | What''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? |
27533 | What''s the use of shilly- shallying? |
27533 | What''s''argentine?'' 27533 What; when Brisket was after her?" |
27533 | What; you will never be a bride? |
27533 | When 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?" |
27533 | Wherefore all this noise? |
27533 | Which of them? |
27533 | Who cares? 27533 Who has filled the shop below with such a throng of anxious purchasers?" |
27533 | Who is it wants the name of George Robinson? |
27533 | Who wants you to go on? 27533 Who''ll care for your card?" |
27533 | Who''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? |
27533 | Why do n''t you produce something, so as to make the world richer? |
27533 | Why 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? |
27533 | Why not, my own one? |
27533 | Why not? |
27533 | Will 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?" |
27533 | Will you take a chair? |
27533 | Will you take a cup of tea, George? |
27533 | Would you esteem me the more because I had deceived my partners? 27533 Would you have me betray my trust?" |
27533 | Would you hint to me that she is false? |
27533 | Would you, now? 27533 Would''st thou drink up Esil? |
27533 | Yes, 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? |
27533 | You mean the advertising people? |
27533 | You 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? |
27533 | Ai n''t you, Em''ly?" |
27533 | Am I not to look to myself? |
27533 | Am I to look after the world? |
27533 | Am I to protect the man who demands from me a cheap hat? |
27533 | And if it be so, why have you come hither to torment me?" |
27533 | And if she do n''t get the value for her money, whose fault is that? |
27533 | And if so, what was the will she made?" |
27533 | And 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? |
27533 | And is not the word"respectable"the highest term of praise which can be applied to the British tradesman? |
27533 | And might it not be well for her to forget that other Samson, and once more to trust herself to her father''s partners? |
27533 | And now you wo n''t quarrel with me, will you, though I have a little thrown you over like?" |
27533 | And she had answered him with terrible harshness,"But what am I to do when you have no longer a morsel to share with me? |
27533 | And 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? |
27533 | And then what could you expect of Brisket? |
27533 | And what am I to do with him?" |
27533 | And what do you think, Em''ly? |
27533 | And what''s the use of capital unless we buy a stock?" |
27533 | And when he came himself, ten minutes afterwards, what was I to say to him? |
27533 | And 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? |
27533 | And where am I to go then? |
27533 | And where should Jones have gotten it?" |
27533 | And where''s the hundred pounds of ready to come from?" |
27533 | And who could n''t have done it if he had n''t been here?" |
27533 | And who was it interfered? |
27533 | Are not Pawkins and Johnson all the same to the public?" |
27533 | Arn''t they all helping themselves hand over hand, except you? |
27533 | Ay, Maryanne; when shall I forget it? |
27533 | Brisket?" |
27533 | Brisket?" |
27533 | But as it was, what business had he there? |
27533 | But for that, who would these fardels bear?" |
27533 | But for what purpose had she so eagerly demanded it? |
27533 | But how will you begin unless you attract your customers?" |
27533 | But 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? |
27533 | But in what words would it be right to depict the conduct of Jones? |
27533 | But then how did these great men begin? |
27533 | But then how was he to begin? |
27533 | But to what had such triumphs led him? |
27533 | But what artist can ever repaint our aspirations? |
27533 | But what he said was this--''If you''re so fond of the fellow, why do n''t you have him?''" |
27533 | But what recks it? |
27533 | But what says the poet,--he whom we teach our children to read? |
27533 | But who can say what must become of us? |
27533 | But why? |
27533 | But with what are you to polish it? |
27533 | But with whom has the fault been? |
27533 | But you ca n''t wonder at me, George; can you? |
27533 | Ca n''t we make''em bankrupts?" |
27533 | Come, Brisket, will you jump with me into yonder river? |
27533 | Could Poppins have seen this, while he was blind? |
27533 | Could not a man be sufficient for himself alone? |
27533 | Did I not with my own hand in this room renounce you?" |
27533 | Did n''t I, Em''ly?" |
27533 | Did not the old man promise that she should be mine? |
27533 | Did 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? |
27533 | Do n''t you see that she''s not going to have him?" |
27533 | Does n''t the word speak for itself? |
27533 | From whence are to come those five hundred pounds without which William Brisket will not allow your daughter to warm herself at his hearthstone?" |
27533 | Had four thousand pounds gone, and was there no profit? |
27533 | Had he advertised? |
27533 | Had 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? |
27533 | Had n''t I, now?" |
27533 | Have I done this for her,--the false one? |
27533 | Have you paid the money down, dear?" |
27533 | He next declares that I ca n''t write English, and that the book must be corrected, and put out by an editor? |
27533 | He still finds that his sale is not rapid; and with a view of increasing it, what shall he do? |
27533 | How can a man withstand the assault of a bull? |
27533 | How did Barlywig begin such an outlay as that? |
27533 | How had he been able to preserve this sum from the young woman''s hands, pressed as he had been by her and by Brisket? |
27533 | How is everything going on at the Hall of Harmony?" |
27533 | How will any lady hereafter forgive herself, who shall fail to profit by such an opportunity as this? |
27533 | How would men treat him when he should no longer be the same Robinson? |
27533 | I did bring four thousand pounds into it; did n''t I?" |
27533 | I suppose you''re so bad you ca n''t eat a bit of nothing?" |
27533 | If 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? |
27533 | If it were as true as heaven, would any one believe it? |
27533 | If so, did she make a will? |
27533 | In the first place, did you ever see an advertisement that contained the truth? |
27533 | Is Barkis willing?" |
27533 | Is Hamlet true?" |
27533 | Is it commonplace?" |
27533 | Is it not with the customers who purchase them? |
27533 | Is it rob to me? |
27533 | Is it so? |
27533 | Is it the fact that I am the junior partner in the house of Brown, Jones, and Robinson?" |
27533 | Is n''t it a fair stand- up fight? |
27533 | Is not that a matter which ought to fill one with melancholy? |
27533 | Is not the passion for cheap purchases altogether a female mania? |
27533 | Is not the world a collection of individuals, all of whom are doing so? |
27533 | Is that man to be your husband? |
27533 | It is very good while it lasts, but what is to come after it? |
27533 | It will come to pieces when worn and disgrace you among your female acquaintances by becoming dinged and bulged?'' |
27533 | Jones?" |
27533 | Looking at it all through, George, I have been treated hard;--haven''t I, now?" |
27533 | Maryanne''s principles is good, and that''s everything;--ain''t it?" |
27533 | Maryanne, when shall be our wedding day?" |
27533 | Must not credit be respectable? |
27533 | My heart was high on other matters, and why should I have sacrificed myself? |
27533 | Of what use is all this about adulteration? |
27533 | Or for her--? |
27533 | Or had he contented himself simply with standing behind his counter till customers should come to him? |
27533 | Poppins was wounded sorely about the head and stomach, and of what nature was the balm which his wife administered? |
27533 | Robinson?" |
27533 | Robinson?" |
27533 | Robinson?" |
27533 | Shall I not take the goods the gods provide me?" |
27533 | Shall I say, also, of every Father? |
27533 | Shall he make his felt hats better, or shall he make his wooden hat bigger? |
27533 | Shall the corn itself never be my own?" |
27533 | She assumes a virtue, though she has it not; and who will say she is not right? |
27533 | She shall be mine, and in order that she may be mine, I must request to know what is accurately the state of our account?" |
27533 | Should I do him good? |
27533 | Should I have gained anything had I allowed that huge monster to hammer at me?" |
27533 | Should not one''s own flesh,--the bone of one''s bone,--bind up one''s bruises, pouring in balm with a gentle hand? |
27533 | That was uncommon civil, was n''t it? |
27533 | That''s all done and over now;--isn''t it?" |
27533 | The 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? |
27533 | The first words were everything, and what should be the first words? |
27533 | The fox had made good his prey, and who could say where it was hidden? |
27533 | The long and short of it is this; is Barkis willing? |
27533 | The supply on hand is immense, but as a sale of unprecedented rapidity is anticipated, may I respectfully solicit your early orders? |
27533 | Then wherewith shall we polish credit? |
27533 | They ought; ought n''t they? |
27533 | They''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?" |
27533 | Think 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? |
27533 | To what purpose?" |
27533 | Was 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? |
27533 | Was he to put down such numbers as those in his sacrificial catalogue? |
27533 | Was he wise in this that he was doing? |
27533 | Was it accident, or was it not? |
27533 | Was it ever supposed that any man believed an advertisement? |
27533 | Was it not the climax of all his glories, and the sweetest drop which Fortune poured into his cup? |
27533 | Was there aught of pleasantness in that grinding tongue of his friend''s wife? |
27533 | We all must live, you know, but then it''s only hand to mouth; is it?" |
27533 | We ca n''t both marry her; can we?" |
27533 | What am I to do at all, and my things all desthroyed? |
27533 | What could a poor girl like me have done to satisfy you?" |
27533 | What could he do with a poor gross of hose, numbered 7 to 10? |
27533 | What does he care for me?" |
27533 | What else have I?" |
27533 | What had John Gilpin done that had made him a citizen of renown? |
27533 | What had she done to deserve such degradation and misfortune? |
27533 | What has the world to offer equal to the joy of gratified love? |
27533 | What idea can, in its own nature, be more harrowing to the soul than that of a TREMENDOUS SACRIFICE? |
27533 | What is Brisket to me, or what is your daughter? |
27533 | What is anything?" |
27533 | What is the pageantry to me? |
27533 | What says the stern moralist to his wicked mother in the play? |
27533 | What triumph is there so triumphant as that achieved by valour over beauty? |
27533 | What was I to do then? |
27533 | What was Robinson to do? |
27533 | What was Robinson to do? |
27533 | What was Robinson to say? |
27533 | What was it they were saying to him? |
27533 | What was she that she should talk to him about spirit? |
27533 | What was there to enjoy in the fate of Poppins, and what in the proposed happiness of Brisket? |
27533 | What will the Geese do if you''re not there?" |
27533 | What''s a man worth if he wo n''t stand up for his young woman? |
27533 | What''s the good of hoping? |
27533 | What''s the meaning of partnership, if nobody''s to know where the money goes to?" |
27533 | What''s the use of all them lawyers?" |
27533 | What''s the use of windows if we have n''t anything to dress them? |
27533 | What''s the use?" |
27533 | When are they to be married, Miss Twizzle?" |
27533 | When you are ruined, or dead, where must I then look for support and shelter?" |
27533 | Where am I to get my things? |
27533 | Where has the money gone to? |
27533 | Who but a harpy would have alluded to the comforts of a rival''s domestic establishment at such a moment as that? |
27533 | Who can make a widow understand that she should not communicate with her boy in the colonies under the dishonest cover of a newspaper? |
27533 | Who can restrain thee and forbid thy further progress? |
27533 | Who cares about your way?" |
27533 | Who did it all? |
27533 | Who do you think there is here, Bill?" |
27533 | Why are you here?" |
27533 | Why do you allow her to trouble you?" |
27533 | Why is it that commercial honesty has so seldom charms for women? |
27533 | Why is your daughter''s former lover here on the eve of her marriage with me?" |
27533 | Why should I stay? |
27533 | Why should I? |
27533 | Why should his tailor send him the book of B., J., and R.? |
27533 | Why should not he also have his statue? |
27533 | Why was it, that at this eventful period of Robinson''s existence Mrs. Poppins should have turned against him? |
27533 | Will you give me your word, as a man, never to have nothing more to say to Maryanne Brown?" |
27533 | Would I not stand with her at the altar to- morrow, though my last half- crown should go to the greedy priest who joined us? |
27533 | Would''st thou eat a crocodile?" |
27533 | Yes; and where might she not be with Mrs. Poppins? |
27533 | You have been working hard and living poor these two years back, and what better are you? |
27533 | You never get near the till, do you?" |
27533 | You remember when that row was, and you were so nigh choking him?" |
27533 | are you George Robinson? |
27533 | but what effect would arise now- a- days from advertising a sale under such a heading? |
27533 | he repeated to himself;"or shall I say a Glorious Fact? |
27533 | or what with a score or two of middling kids? |
27533 | said Mr. Brown;"it''s 81, Bishopsgate Street; ai n''t it? |
27533 | said he, putting out his hand;"or is it to be''Miss Brown?''" |
27533 | to the bridge? |
27533 | was it within the nature of things that his daughters should be kind? |
27533 | what''s that between friends? |
33314 | A human soul? 33314 A word of five letters beginning with''A,''"said H. R."Ca n''t we publish it?" |
33314 | Ai n''t he fine- looking? |
33314 | Ai n''t it great? |
33314 | An eighth? |
33314 | And how is H. R., my dear? |
33314 | And now? |
33314 | And then? |
33314 | And those that would n''t be searched? 33314 And you?" |
33314 | And you? |
33314 | Anything wrong? |
33314 | Are any of you socialists? |
33314 | Are n''t there one hundred perfectly beautiful girls in Greater New York? |
33314 | Are n''t there? |
33314 | Are n''t you a trifle premature? |
33314 | Are n''t you? |
33314 | Are you a Catholic? |
33314 | Are you an Episcopalian? |
33314 | Are you getting the full thirty- cent dinner? |
33314 | Are you there? |
33314 | Ask me what? |
33314 | Barrett, do you get what you want? |
33314 | Barrett, do you see the possibilities? |
33314 | Brings what? |
33314 | But are you perfectly sure you can--"Empress, do n''t you wish it done? |
33314 | But do n''t you think it would be a little gruesome for a desk ornament? |
33314 | But not in Park Row, surely? |
33314 | But what about that ten- thousand- dollar cash to the coupon- holders? |
33314 | But what the dickens can I say? |
33314 | But you''ll come back, wo n''t you, when you are famous? 33314 Can I speak with Miss Goodchild? |
33314 | Can you do the Rutgers Roll? |
33314 | Can you give me,said Mr. Goodchild, seriously,"evidence to prove your statements?" |
33314 | Can you? |
33314 | Did he say he''d come? |
33314 | Did she leave word when she would return? |
33314 | Did you hear it? |
33314 | Did you hear me? |
33314 | Did you recognize the name? |
33314 | Did you see their latest exploit? 33314 Do I? |
33314 | Do I? |
33314 | Do n''t I know it? |
33314 | Do n''t you or do you? 33314 Do n''t you sleep?" |
33314 | Do what? |
33314 | Do you always get what you want? |
33314 | Do you hear your Master''s voice? |
33314 | Do you know,asked H. R., pleasantly,"the Wittelbachs?" |
33314 | Do you mean that you are deliberately going to be a comic- weekly mother- in- law and make me the laughing- stock of my set? |
33314 | Do you mean to tell me you really are the jackass your wife thinks you? |
33314 | Do you mean to treat it as a spectacle--"What else was the Crucifixion to the priests of the Temple? |
33314 | Do you see? |
33314 | Do you want a quarter? |
33314 | Do you want your joint smashed? |
33314 | Do you want,pursued the now optimistic Hendrik Rutgers,"to drink all you can hold? |
33314 | Do you wish me to go? 33314 Do you?" |
33314 | Ever try the Rutgers Roll? |
33314 | Five letters? 33314 Flash?" |
33314 | For instance? |
33314 | For why you wish to know? |
33314 | Free freak show? |
33314 | Grace,he said,"when will you marry me?" |
33314 | Grace? |
33314 | Grace? |
33314 | Has it come to this, in my own house? |
33314 | Have they sent her away? |
33314 | He has given me this absurd notoriety and-- What delays us? |
33314 | He is n''t married, is he? |
33314 | Help you to help our church? |
33314 | Hendrik, do you really love me? |
33314 | How can I stop it? |
33314 | How can you without killing everybody? |
33314 | How do you do, Bishop Phillipson? |
33314 | How do you do, my child? |
33314 | How do you do, my dear? |
33314 | How do you do? |
33314 | How do you do? |
33314 | How do you make that out? |
33314 | How do you mean? |
33314 | How many times your own salary do you wish to earn for me? |
33314 | How may I help you? 33314 How much do you carry?" |
33314 | How much? |
33314 | How would you go about it? |
33314 | How? |
33314 | Huh? |
33314 | I beg your pardon? |
33314 | I 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? |
33314 | I wonder what he has up his sleeve now? |
33314 | I''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?" |
33314 | If I really loved you, should n''t I know it? |
33314 | If he''s good- looking and has money, what''s wrong with him? 33314 In whose house should our marriage be discussed?" |
33314 | Is a man to be insulted in his own home? 33314 Is he married, Grace?" |
33314 | Is he of the old New Jersey Rutgers? |
33314 | Is he smart? |
33314 | Is it true that he''ll do anything you tell him? |
33314 | Is it true, Grace, that your engagement with H. R. is off? |
33314 | Is there one man among you who believes in God? |
33314 | Is this a free country,interjected Max Onthemaker, vehemently,"or are we in Russia? |
33314 | Is this mother? |
33314 | It''s beer, is n''t it? |
33314 | Left the bank? |
33314 | MacAckus,said Mrs. Vandergilt in her sharp, imperious voice,"why did you do it? |
33314 | Make New- Yorkers give money for charity that they might have spent for their own pleasure? |
33314 | Mr. Goodchild,said Hendrik Rutgers, approaching the president,"wo n''t you please listen to what I have to say?" |
33314 | My help? |
33314 | My signature to what? |
33314 | Nevertheless,he said, with conviction,"Omelette soufflà © e--""What can you expect from the other members?" |
33314 | Not the-- er-- sandwich- men''s parade? |
33314 | Not yet; but I see she has taken up that-- that--"Hendrik? |
33314 | Oh, are you here? |
33314 | Onthemaker?... 33314 Perhaps you''ve read the newspapers? |
33314 | Philadelphia? |
33314 | Recklar tinner? |
33314 | Reggie, you will give me courage at the altar? |
33314 | Same table, same time-- to- morrow? |
33314 | Say, can you beat it? |
33314 | See her? |
33314 | Shall I, Grace? |
33314 | Smart? |
33314 | Suppose,she asked, with a humorously intended demureness,"that I wished to use my handkerchief?" |
33314 | Sure? |
33314 | Then will you tell us why you wo n''t let Mr. Rutgers marry your daughter? |
33314 | They were not all Christians,explained H. R."What is the answer?" |
33314 | Told her what? |
33314 | Torturing the ears? |
33314 | We can submit designs to you, Mr. Rutgers--"To- day? |
33314 | Well, 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?" |
33314 | Well? |
33314 | Well? |
33314 | Well? |
33314 | Wh- what''s the m- matter? |
33314 | What about the men that fell for the beer? |
33314 | What d''ye t''ink I am? |
33314 | What day? |
33314 | What do you mean? |
33314 | What do you say to the eighth? |
33314 | What do you say, Bo? |
33314 | What do you see? |
33314 | What does he look like? |
33314 | What does it mean? |
33314 | What good will that do me? |
33314 | What has Mrs. Goodchild ever done to me, that I should make her a widow? |
33314 | What have you up your sleeve, Mrs. Vandergilt? 33314 What is he going to do?" |
33314 | What is it, Frederick? |
33314 | What is it, mother? |
33314 | What is it? 33314 What is it?" |
33314 | What is it? |
33314 | What is that? |
33314 | What is the new job, anyhow? |
33314 | What is thirty dollars for their dinner to thirty thousand dollars worth of free advertising? |
33314 | What ladies? |
33314 | What''s the Goodchild number? |
33314 | What''s the matter? |
33314 | What''s the name of the restaurant? |
33314 | What? 33314 What?" |
33314 | What? |
33314 | What? |
33314 | When do we begin? |
33314 | Where did you see my advertisement? |
33314 | Where does he get it? |
33314 | Where? |
33314 | Which one is that? |
33314 | Which? |
33314 | Who ca n''t have whom? |
33314 | Who is it? 33314 Who is it?" |
33314 | Who is the man? |
33314 | Who told you? |
33314 | Who? 33314 Why his?" |
33314 | Why not? |
33314 | Why not? |
33314 | Why not? |
33314 | Why not? |
33314 | Why,asked the Fitz- Marlton,"was not our chef considered enough? |
33314 | Why? |
33314 | Will I? |
33314 | Will the Mayor accept? |
33314 | Will you do what I ask, dear? |
33314 | Will you kindly release my hand? |
33314 | Will you oblige me by leaving this house quietly? |
33314 | With your hand for the prize and your love for my reward? 33314 Would n''t you rather have a dollar?" |
33314 | Written? |
33314 | Yes, I know; but could n''t_ you_ induce him to come? 33314 Yes, sir?" |
33314 | Yes; but the word? |
33314 | Yes? |
33314 | Yes? |
33314 | You are what? |
33314 | You did n''t want me to waste your time, did you? |
33314 | You didn''t-- actually-- talk-- for--_publication_? |
33314 | You have n''t talked to her about it? |
33314 | You know me? |
33314 | You read in the papers about the parade my poor fellows had Saturday? |
33314 | You said first- class men? |
33314 | You say I kept somebody out of a job? |
33314 | You wo n''t? |
33314 | You? 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? |
33314 | 1 and said,"Wolverton is your name?" |
33314 | Afraid? |
33314 | After H. R. had so looked at them, he asked, skeptically,"Are_ all_ of you first- class men?" |
33314 | After all, why should men fight Nature or fight men? |
33314 | After that? |
33314 | After the second minute of suspense they exclaimed in chorus:"What?" |
33314 | Ah, it was not alone modesty, but high social position and inherited wealth that were responsible for"H. R."instead of the full name? |
33314 | All except one, who whispered to H. R.''s counsel:"What in blazes_ is_ sabotage? |
33314 | Also, state why you looked in that particular newspaper?" |
33314 | Am I an ass or have I brains?" |
33314 | And Romanoff? |
33314 | And also see how starving men eat the first square meal of the year?" |
33314 | And can you put on a nice_ patine_?" |
33314 | And do you know the Bernadottes?" |
33314 | And how near is victory?" |
33314 | And is n''t it right to stand by your own flesh and blood? |
33314 | And more than all that, was n''t he a_ novelty_, and she a New York woman? |
33314 | And not kill the scab whose own non- union thirst would prolong theirs? |
33314 | And the Hapsburgs? |
33314 | And the reporters? |
33314 | And the step visibly gained in majesty as he overheard the music of the spheres:"Daddy, who is he?" |
33314 | And what will the boards say?" |
33314 | And what would whatever he said mean? |
33314 | And where shall I land if I keep on hypnotizing the newspapers into giving me columns of space? |
33314 | And who is going to fight for him? |
33314 | And would you believe it? |
33314 | And you, young man?" |
33314 | And you?" |
33314 | And, Barrett?" |
33314 | Another reporter?" |
33314 | Any objections to our marching with a band of music down the avenue to the Colossal? |
33314 | Are you?" |
33314 | At this week''s meeting of our directors Mr. Garrettson asked me:''How is the King of the Sandwiches? |
33314 | At what age did a girl cease to be a_ Girl_? |
33314 | Beekman Rutgers had the nerve to tell me that all the Rutgerses are like H. R. What do you think of that?" |
33314 | Before Barrett could speak H. R. asked,"Nobody would be first?" |
33314 | Before he could speak, Mr. Wilberforce Josslyn said:"Did you stop''em?" |
33314 | Before the Bishop could say anything H. R. went on, very politely:"Will you oblige me by torturing the ears?" |
33314 | Booze?" |
33314 | But Dawson ca n''t do it, not even on time deposits, and--""Scotch for mine,"said H. R."Is Frederick coming?" |
33314 | But H. R. merely asked, pleasantly,"Ready?" |
33314 | But Hendrik drew near and said:"Do you hear?" |
33314 | But I want to tell you right now--""What interest are you going to allow us on our balances?" |
33314 | But before his anger could crystallize, H. R. continued, challengingly:"Who in New York are in need of charity? |
33314 | But do n''t you think she''d make a great one?" |
33314 | But famous? |
33314 | But he said, very kindly, to the reporters,"Gentlemen, will you all be good enough to call at our office before you print anything?" |
33314 | But suppose I still want a raise when I come back? |
33314 | But, say, what''s the matter with you coming in his place? |
33314 | By the way, is this house big enough for the wedding reception?" |
33314 | Ca n''t you imagine a sandwich being made artistic, if I get competent experts to design them?" |
33314 | Ca n''t you recognize the voice? |
33314 | Ca n''t you stop''em?" |
33314 | Ca n''t you tell your reporters that sandwiching at union wages has nothing to do with it?" |
33314 | Can you ask me if I can?" |
33314 | Can you guess?" |
33314 | Can you?" |
33314 | Could I have the Mayor''s acceptance and the permit to parade then? |
33314 | Could he belong? |
33314 | Could n''t he prompt her? |
33314 | Could the newspapers help it? |
33314 | D''ye_ hear_?" |
33314 | Did a quarter of a dollar ever before accomplish so much? |
33314 | Did 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? |
33314 | Did he expect her to run after him? |
33314 | Did n''t I see the parade? |
33314 | Did n''t people have to have something to talk about? |
33314 | Did n''t$ 614,500 begin with a$? |
33314 | Did not his name come first in the stirring call to the metropolis? |
33314 | Did they? |
33314 | Did you ask why we should have a union? |
33314 | Did you bring the pads and pencils I told you?" |
33314 | Did you ever read what Confucius wrote about''Those men who with letters on their garments dispel the ignorance of buyers,''and a lot more? |
33314 | Did you know that sandwich- men take the place of bells on Good Friday in Moldavia? |
33314 | Did you know that twice in the Old and five times in the New Testament mention is made of the sandwich- men? |
33314 | Did you properly play up the wisdom and glory of being first?" |
33314 | Did you see what I have undertaken to do for your sake?" |
33314 | Did you? |
33314 | Did_ you_ tell him to do it, Grace? |
33314 | Do n''t forget the name, will you?" |
33314 | Do n''t we have to have one, anyhow?" |
33314 | Do n''t you know how beautiful you are? |
33314 | Do n''t you know what newspaper ridicule is? |
33314 | Do n''t you know what to do with your vote?" |
33314 | Do n''t you know-- can''t you see what I am doing?" |
33314 | Do n''t you remember? |
33314 | Do n''t you see? |
33314 | Do n''t you see?" |
33314 | Do n''t you want some bouillon? |
33314 | Do n''t you want the best?" |
33314 | Do n''t you wonder how they do it? |
33314 | Do n''t you? |
33314 | Do you get me? |
33314 | Do you get that, officer? |
33314 | Do you get that?" |
33314 | Do you hear me? |
33314 | Do you know in what esteem sandwich- men are held in the south of France and in the Orient? |
33314 | Do you know what it is to be hungry?" |
33314 | Do you know why Catholic Spain and anti- Semitic Russia alike permit no sandwich- men to ply their time- honored occupation within their confines? |
33314 | Do you know why there are no commercial sandwich- men in Russia or in Spain? |
33314 | Do you mean to say you do n''t know that?" |
33314 | Do you not constantly endeavor, yourself, to be an example, reverend sir?" |
33314 | Do you realize that I am the most- talked- about man in all New York? |
33314 | Do you see your chance?" |
33314 | Do you see?" |
33314 | Do you think I have brains?" |
33314 | Do you think the Mayor will come?" |
33314 | Do you think you can do what you propose?" |
33314 | Do you think you''re the only band in New York or that I never hired one before? |
33314 | Do you understand?" |
33314 | Do you want the infernal reporters to make you ridiculous? |
33314 | Do you wish your humorous friends to say to you, Grace, will you have a caviare husband?" |
33314 | Do you? |
33314 | Do_ you_ expect to end in junk?" |
33314 | Each sandwich bore this legend:[ Illustration: ASK THE PRESIDENT OF THE KETCHAM NATIONAL BANK WHY? |
33314 | Er-- what are they-- what are you going to spring on an enraptured metropolis? |
33314 | Even for your bank, between St. Vincent de Paul and John D. Rockefeller, whom would you choose? |
33314 | Every woman had the same remark and the same grin:"Have n''t I seen my husband?" |
33314 | Everything this eccentric but clever scion of the Knickerbockers owned? |
33314 | Five thousand empty bellies? |
33314 | For figure? |
33314 | For hands and feet and hair? |
33314 | For teeth? |

33314 | Genius? |
33314 | Get that?" |
33314 | Get that?" |
33314 | Grace Goodchild, when asked point- blank if she were engaged to H. R., now answered,"Do you see any engagement- ring?" |
33314 | Grace heard her, and she said, rebukingly,"Yes, absolutely impartial and--""Are you chosen one of the hundred?" |
33314 | Gwathmey?" |
33314 | H. R. asked the first man,"Are you hungry?" |
33314 | H. R. ceased kissing, and spoke rebukingly:"What do you want me to do? |
33314 | H. R. spoke so determinedly that the Bishop could not help forgetting everything else and asking:"How?" |
33314 | Had Mrs. Goodchild ever spoken to this creature? |
33314 | Had a man no privacy in New York? |
33314 | Has Grace told you I''m to be your son- in- law?" |
33314 | Has anybody ever before tried that? |
33314 | Have you ever seen a starving man? |
33314 | Have you read the papers? |
33314 | He asked, sharply,"What is the one thing none of you can sell to me?" |
33314 | He asked,"Are any of you Christians?" |
33314 | He did it with one mild little word:"Well?" |
33314 | He inquired, sternly:"Got any money?" |
33314 | He looked at her and said:"Do_ you_ prefer wealth to fame? |
33314 | He looked so determined that naturally she looked away and said, very softly:"And-- and if I should want you to?" |
33314 | He pursued:"And when? |
33314 | He reduced the problem to its simplest form? |
33314 | He smiled reassuringly and asked her:"Are n''t you going to ask Ethel?" |
33314 | He therefore said,"What''s the matter?" |
33314 | He turned to the others and asked:"Can you_ sell_ advertising?" |
33314 | Hear that?" |
33314 | Hendrik Rutgers turned like a flash to the cashier and said, sharply:"Did n''t you hear? |
33314 | Hendrik stalked into the Colossal dining- room and snarled at one of the waiters:"Where''s your boss?" |
33314 | Hendrik stopped and spoke peevishly to the meek one in the gutter:"Why did you move out of my way?" |
33314 | Hey? |
33314 | Hey?" |
33314 | His voice as he entreated her to wait rang with such anguish that she irrepressibly asked,"What?" |
33314 | How about the_ quality_ of his goods and his_ values_? |
33314 | How could I help it?" |
33314 | How could Mr. Goodchild help it? |
33314 | How could the engagement be off when it never had been on? |
33314 | How do you spell it?" |
33314 | How else can you explain it? |
33314 | How else could they stay in the newspapers except by indignation over the wrongs of social inferiors? |
33314 | How long would he keep it up? |
33314 | How many on the Avenue to- day?" |
33314 | How many points for complexion and coloring? |
33314 | How should she treat him? |
33314 | How to become the fear of the rich and at the same time be respected by the best element? |
33314 | How would H. R. meet this crisis? |
33314 | How would the Kaiser act? |
33314 | How? |
33314 | I wish to say that when it comes to injunctions I''ve got Wall Street gasping for breath and--""Yes, but what about the scabs? |
33314 | I''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? |
33314 | If I can make New York feed the hungry, would it be very difficult for me to make the advertising managers act wisely? |
33314 | If by the first of June nobody even remembers that I had anything to do with sandwiches will you marry me?" |
33314 | If he skimps in that, what wo n''t he skimp in? |
33314 | If he was H. R. to New York, why should he not become H. R. to the nation? |
33314 | If she married Reggie or Mr. Watson or Percival or one of the others, what would her married life be? |
33314 | If she would n''t marry Reggie or the others and did marry H. R.-- But how could she? |
33314 | If that was n''t fame, what was? |
33314 | If they did n''t, what could the editorial writers have to write about? |
33314 | In the end she spoke aloud:"I wonder if he really loves me?" |
33314 | In the mean time, Mr. Goodchild, will you be good enough to pose for our artist? |
33314 | Intuition? |
33314 | Is he all they say he is?" |
33314 | Is it announced?" |
33314 | Is it in English?" |
33314 | Is it necessary to have a permit to parade?" |
33314 | Is it settled?" |
33314 | Is n''t he a wonder? |
33314 | Is n''t he your friend?" |
33314 | Is_ that_ all you are afraid of?" |
33314 | It made him ask, disgustedly:"Do n''t you fellows care who is boss?" |
33314 | Just sign here, will you, please? |
33314 | Kiss her in the vestibule before ringing the door- bell, as if we were plebeian sweethearts? |
33314 | Knowing that he was alluding to her beauty, she said:"What are you talking about?" |
33314 | LOVE GRACE GOODCHILD AND ME TOO][ Illustration: DO YOU BLAME ME FOR WISHING TO MARRY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL IN THE WHOLE WORLD? |
33314 | La Touche rose and, turning to the friendly reporters, asked, wrathfully,"How in blazes do I know which is the one Mr. Rutgers liked?" |
33314 | Living at your house yet?'' |
33314 | MERCHANT? |
33314 | Mr. Goodchild, thinking of his two plans which were his one hope, asked, abruptly:"Are you a man of your word?" |
33314 | Mulligan, you cop some bottles of booze, and wait outside-- do you hear? |
33314 | Must she flee to Europe? |
33314 | My grandmother has never met you, has she?" |
33314 | No woman had said,"Do you think she is as beautiful as the newspapers try to make out?" |
33314 | Not obey the boss, when they already felt an endless stream trickling down their unionized gullets? |
33314 | Not obey? |
33314 | Not to advertise?" |
33314 | Now you get your best sculptor to model my Ultimate Sandwich by to- morrow, wo n''t you?" |
33314 | Now, how much will you take?" |
33314 | Now, what do you, speaking collectively, do to feed the hungry?" |
33314 | Now, why did we build our huge Cathedral?" |
33314 | Now, you,"he said peremptorily to the proprietor,"do we get the free lunch? |
33314 | Of anything?" |
33314 | Of course, you could fill''em with paper--""Paper?" |
33314 | On his boards the Fifth Avenue crowd on this fair spring day saw this: Do you thank God you are alive? |
33314 | One of the reporters with the air of a man whose life depends upon the bulletin- board asked H. R.:"What''s the answer?" |
33314 | One of them rose and asked H. R.:"Is this all? |
33314 | Only correct my English, wo n''t you? |
33314 | Or a bank president? |
33314 | Or a quick lunch? |
33314 | Or in a taxi in the Park? |
33314 | Or was it merely a scheme to obtain notoriety? |
33314 | Or 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?" |
33314 | Presently he said, loudly enough to be heard by all,"Is this 777 Fifth Avenue?" |
33314 | R.? |
33314 | Really, what human being could wish to speak to him? |
33314 | Rutgers?" |
33314 | Rutgers?" |
33314 | See? |
33314 | See?" |
33314 | See?" |
33314 | Send them to me, Allied Arts Building, wo n''t you?" |
33314 | Shall I prove it?" |
33314 | Shall I take you to mother?" |
33314 | She hated H. R. Was she merely the advertised vulgarity of that unspeakable man whom her family so foolishly had not jailed? |
33314 | She 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? |
33314 | She said, icily, yet with a subtle consciousness of her own humor,"If you wish to worship, why do n''t you try a church?" |
33314 | She tacitly admitted that there was an etiquette of hospitality by asking, coldly,"Why should I marry you?" |
33314 | She wailed:"What shall I do? |
33314 | Shorty McFadden made thirty- five dollars--""Any of you Republicans?" |
33314 | Should H. R. accept greatness to- day and let to- morrow bring the littleness? |
33314 | Should Morality be allowed to interfere with Art? |
33314 | Should she start an inquiry? |
33314 | Since it was a matter of life and death, Grace instantly asked,"_ Who_ is it?" |
33314 | So he asked:"And your-- er-- quite unemotional and sudden interest in this-- er-- affair, Mr. Rutgers....""You mean, where do I come in?" |
33314 | Suppose she was not Number One, after all? |
33314 | Suppose the incubator gets stone cold? |
33314 | Suppose the incubator now refuses to keep up the temperature of 102- 1/2 degrees Fahrenheit necessary to hatch the egg? |
33314 | Talking about interest rates--""How big a balance do you expect to keep with us?" |
33314 | That there might be no misunderstanding, he added, softly,"Do you?" |
33314 | The 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? |
33314 | The intelligent young man proceeded courteously:"Will you therefore kindly tell us when the wedding will be?" |
33314 | The man''s teeth chattered a minute before he said, huskily,"Wh- what m- must I do?" |
33314 | The older director looked at Mr. Goodchild and began:"Goodchild, will you tell me why--""You, too?" |
33314 | The one Mr. Rutgers likes?... |
33314 | The proprietors looked at the crowds, heard the same remark,"What is it?" |
33314 | Then he asked Grace,"Did you read them?" |
33314 | Then he asked, suspiciously:"You have n''t seen him?" |
33314 | Then, remembering her position, said, coldly,"Will you please leave now and never come back?" |
33314 | Then,"What d''ye want?" |
33314 | To Max Onthemaker he whispered,"Got the papers with you?" |
33314 | To Miss Vandergilt he said, very seriously,"Are you Grace''s friend?" |
33314 | To those who asked for the money H. R. said, sternly:"Do you wish to swallow a quarter or do you want to eat food?" |
33314 | Truly, the gods were kind to H. R."Coming back to our muttons, are you going to introduce us?" |
33314 | Up- stairs Grace, hiding her wrath, overwhelmed by the accursed sympathy of her best friends, said, helplessly,"What can I do?" |
33314 | Vandergilt?" |
33314 | WHY? |
33314 | WHY? |
33314 | Was he a crank or a criminal? |
33314 | Was he serious in his determination to marry her? |
33314 | Was he to be bought off with money? |
33314 | Was n''t it spring, and was n''t he young and fearless? |
33314 | Was she so much to this man? |
33314 | Was she, in sooth, chosen Number One? |
33314 | Was the Public Beauty Commission really competent? |
33314 | Was the food an error, as charitable philosophers have declared? |
33314 | Was this Hendrik Rutgers? |
33314 | Was this the same remarkable person she had almost deified on the way from Raquin''s exhibition? |
33314 | Was this to be their last free meal? |
33314 | Was this what a man became when he ceased to be a clerk? |
33314 | We''ve got to bring father around to our way of thinking, and--""Who is it? |
33314 | Were there one hundred Perfectly Beautiful Girls in New York? |
33314 | What could she say? |
33314 | What did he mean by saying that her troubles were only beginning and that she soon would feel the heavy price of fame? |
33314 | What did this H. R., who was said to be clever, expect such people to answer? |
33314 | What did you say?" |
33314 | What do people who get enough to eat know about starving men? |
33314 | What do you think I am, an ass? |

33314 | What other theory for an employee''s loud talking in a bank? |
33314 | What reply could Mr. Gwathmey possibly make? |

33314 | What the dickens did believing in God have to do with anything? |
33314 | What was coming? |
33314 | What was he paying taxes for-- to be annoyed by insane adventurers and damned reporters? |
33314 | What was he? |
33314 | What was she to do, and how and when? |
33314 | What was such talk, Grace impartially asked herself, to one who had been madly cheered by thousands? |
33314 | What was the matter with the police? |
33314 | What would become of you if you cease to be Grace Goodchild?" |
33314 | What would he do? |
33314 | What would he say next? |
33314 | What would he say? |
33314 | What would n''t he do? |
33314 | What would n''t the newspapers do when_ she_ married H. R., especially if H. R., prompted by love, really made an effort? |
33314 | What? |
33314 | What?" |
33314 | What?" |
33314 | What?" |
33314 | Whatever she saw in his face made her smile and say, challengingly:"But what?" |
