This is a list of all the questions and their associated study carrel identifiers. One can learn a lot of the "aboutness" of a text simply by reading the questions.

| 40830 | After replying,"Then what''s the news?" |
| 40830 | Are they then good pioneers? |
| 40830 | May not an Arab tribe have passed down along the east coast, and established themselves in the Mashona region, and formed a kingdom? |
| 40830 | May not these two tribes have travelled up the Zambese together at some remote time? |
| 40830 | May not this be one identification, that it was right that woman should be a ruler as well as man, handed down from the Queen of Sheba''s time? |
| 40830 | Now it is an interesting question, what tribe or nation did these emperors spring from? |
| 40830 | On which Durnford called out,"Will nobody stand by me?" |

| 40830 | What is it now? |
| 40830 | What''s the meaning of this? |
| 40830 | Where are they now? |
| 40830 | Where are they now? |

| 40830 | where from? |
| 40830 | why should they be disturbed in their innocent life? |
| 34668 | Are there not two kinds of sandal- wood? |
| 34668 | But what do you intend to do, Congo? |
| 34668 | He appears to be stooping? |
| 34668 | How deep think you it is? |
| 34668 | How know you that they are rooyebok? |
| 34668 | I do n''t see them yet;--where, Jan? |
| 34668 | Well, what does he do there? |
| 34668 | What are ye after, old boy? |
| 34668 | What could_ they_ know about hunting? 34668 What is it? |
| 34668 | What is old Swart doing, anyhow? 34668 What''s the Kaffir about?" |
| 34668 | Where had the creature come from? |
| 34668 | Where? |
| 34668 | Who? |
| 34668 | And what were the young Von Blooms and Van Wyks doing in the wilderness? |
| 34668 | And who are the young yagers? |
| 34668 | And who, then, is Diedrik Van Wyk? |
| 34668 | But how was Swartboy to capture the cock? |
| 34668 | But how was Swartboy to get near enough to discharge one of his tiny shafts into the bird''s body? |
| 34668 | But how was it? |
| 34668 | But how was the Bushman to accomplish this? |
| 34668 | But what could this little creature want with the ostriches? |
| 34668 | But what else could it have done? |
| 34668 | But what had become of our fennec-- poor little fellow? |
| 34668 | But what rendered it so? |
| 34668 | But what would his arrows avail-- poisoned as they were-- at the distance of five hundred yards? |
| 34668 | But where was the lioness? |
| 34668 | But who are the other three that share with them the circle of the camp- fire? |
| 34668 | Did he insist upon having both the carcasses to himself? |
| 34668 | Did he intend to place himself in ambush and wait for their return? |
| 34668 | Did he mean to transport it in that way to his burrow? |
| 34668 | Did he not draw his bow yonder?" |
| 34668 | Did they propose taking to the mountain? |
| 34668 | Do you take blesboks for sheep, to be driven about by a pair of boys mounted on ponies? |
| 34668 | Do you want drown us, ole fool?" |
| 34668 | For what purpose? |
| 34668 | For what purpose? |
| 34668 | For what, then, was it trailing them? |
| 34668 | Had any of the other antelopes come in his way? |
| 34668 | Had the rock- rabbits ventured forth again? |
| 34668 | Had they sprung up the mountain? |
| 34668 | Horses, hunters, drivers, and dogs, were all in sight; but what cared the lions for that? |
| 34668 | How can it be regarded as a crime? |
| 34668 | How could they, as it was behind the trees in the centre of the grove? |
| 34668 | How had they ascertained that the drift was fordable? |
| 34668 | How long might his implacable sentinel keep watch upon him? |
| 34668 | How then? |
| 34668 | How was Hans going to manage it? |
| 34668 | How was he to approach them within the range required for his small bow-- that is, within less than fifty yards? |
| 34668 | How were the brutes to be kept off? |
| 34668 | How were they to do so in safety? |
| 34668 | How would he endure the terrible thirst that was raging within him? |
| 34668 | How would he suffer it until they should arrive? |
| 34668 | How, then, could they talk of"stalking"on such ground? |
| 34668 | How? |
| 34668 | I ca n''t tell what he''s about-- can you, Klaas?" |
| 34668 | It was close upon sunset, and should night come down what would become of Congo? |
| 34668 | Not its size, and surely not the force with which it could be projected from that tiny bow? |
| 34668 | Not with the lion? |
| 34668 | Now there was still a mystery Swartboy had not explained; and that was, how this animal, when it found the eggs, was able to_ get at their contents_? |
| 34668 | Now what was the little fennec doing? |
| 34668 | Now why was he rolling the_ egg_? |
| 34668 | Only one other was upon its feet; and that was the old cock that had kept apart? |
| 34668 | Should the lioness remain, how was he to get out of it? |
| 34668 | Should they ascend it? |
| 34668 | Should they saddle and ride out after the gemsboks? |
| 34668 | Some would have considered the death of the eagle a just punishment; but, then, what was its crime? |
| 34668 | Surely they would not let him come so near? |
| 34668 | The merest child could have told that much-- anybody-- for who does not recognise the great African ostrich at the first glance? |
| 34668 | The only weapon left him was his hunting- knife; but what was a knife against the hide of a rhinoceros? |
| 34668 | The precipice could not be scaled? |
| 34668 | The store proved one of the largest? |
| 34668 | There can be no mistake about the animal meant by Job when he wrote,` Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? |
| 34668 | They must already have perceived the approach of the horses or heard the sound of their trampling hoofs? |
| 34668 | They were basking, no doubt; but, for birds so wary, why did they not spring up and take to flight? |
| 34668 | They would not be able to follow it, and then, what might be his fate? |
| 34668 | Was Jan going to ride up and snare the birds? |
| 34668 | Was he covering eggs? |
| 34668 | Was he dead? |
| 34668 | Was it a note of triumph? |
| 34668 | Was it the roer? |
| 34668 | Was it true that any people hunted the lion in that way? |
| 34668 | Was there a nest? |
| 34668 | What are these? |
| 34668 | What are they about?" |
| 34668 | What are they doing? |
| 34668 | What could be causing such a commotion amongst them? |
| 34668 | What could he have fired at? |
| 34668 | What could it be? |
| 34668 | What had led to their so suddenly changing their resolution? |
| 34668 | What is a"fennec?" |
| 34668 | What is an"assegai?" |
| 34668 | What plan, then, had he in his mind? |
| 34668 | What prey was it in pursuit of? |
| 34668 | What say ye all?" |
| 34668 | What say you?" |
| 34668 | What to Hendrik and the yagers? |
| 34668 | What was it after? |
| 34668 | What was the best course to be pursued? |
| 34668 | What was to be the result? |
| 34668 | What were they doing there? |
| 34668 | What were they to do then? |
| 34668 | What would he say to his medical friend? |
| 34668 | When the sound died away, he would rise erect again, fling another pebble_ farther out than the last_, and then crouch and listen as before? |
| 34668 | Where had she gone? |
| 34668 | Where was Swartboy at that moment? |
| 34668 | Where was Swartboy to take part in the affair, and to give his advice? |
| 34668 | Where were they? |
| 34668 | Where would Hendrik be then? |
| 34668 | Which would be the conqueror? |
| 34668 | Who are their companions? |
| 34668 | Who are they that laugh so loudly and cheerfully? |
| 34668 | Who are they? |
| 34668 | Why was the lion silent? |
| 34668 | Wilt thou trust him because his strength is great? |
| 34668 | Would Hans and the others believe him lost, and follow upon his spoor? |
| 34668 | Would he borrow the rifle from Hendrik, or the great elephant- gun-- the"roer"--from Groot Willem, and shoot the ostrich? |
| 34668 | a Kaffir the driver of a wagon? |
| 34668 | alone?" |
| 34668 | b''lieve you tell depth so? |
| 34668 | dat you?" |
| 34668 | inquired several;"are they coming back?" |
| 34668 | or was it a signal of distress? |
| 34668 | or will he harrow the valleys after thee? |
| 34668 | or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?'' |
| 34668 | tink so, ole skellum? |
| 34668 | what creature?" |
| 34668 | without a gun?" |
| 34668 | without arms? |
| 34668 | you ca n''t tell that way; can you?" |
| 21237 | A rhinoster, is it? |
| 21237 | And the lion? |
| 21237 | And what if it be the tsetse? |
| 21237 | At what time was it? |
| 21237 | But how is that, brother? |
| 21237 | But what signified those, that had already stung my ankles, to the numbers that were likely soon to pierce me with their venomous darts? 21237 But what took him away from the camp?" |
| 21237 | Can we not attach the horses to the wagon? |
| 21237 | Father,said Hendrik,"suppose we set the house on fire?" |
| 21237 | Had they heard any report of a gun? |
| 21237 | How lost, father?--how gone? |
| 21237 | How many were there of them? |
| 21237 | How then, brother? |
| 21237 | How? 21237 How?" |
| 21237 | On what? |
| 21237 | Should I take aim at the lion, and fire? 21237 The five could surely draw it on to the spring?" |
| 21237 | Well, do you know their value? |
| 21237 | What can be the matter with my pretty birds? |
| 21237 | What could it be? 21237 What could it mean? |
| 21237 | What has done it? |
| 21237 | What is it, Swart? |
| 21237 | What is it, papa? |
| 21237 | What is it, papa? |
| 21237 | What is your own opinion, Hans? |
| 21237 | What next? 21237 What sort of animals were they?" |
| 21237 | What then? 21237 What was to be done? |
| 21237 | Where is the snake? |
| 21237 | An admirable idea!--how about its practicability? |
| 21237 | And now arose the question,_ whither_? |
| 21237 | And was Von Bloom meditating how the thrust had caused the death of such a huge creature? |
| 21237 | And what did Hendrik during all this time? |
| 21237 | And what during this time was Von Bloom about? |
| 21237 | And what else was there to be done? |
| 21237 | Answer me-- Do you know any species of animal, the individuals of which are exactly alike in character? |
| 21237 | Are not others mean, sneaking, cowardly curs? |
| 21237 | Are not some of them noble, generous, faithful, brave to the death? |
| 21237 | Are they alike, or anything near it? |
| 21237 | Are they not burned?" |
| 21237 | Both can not be right in their opinions? |
| 21237 | But Jan''s voice they no longer heard-- he was screaming no more-- was he dead? |
| 21237 | But how had they fallen? |
| 21237 | But how to begin it? |
| 21237 | But how to shut either door or window in safety? |
| 21237 | But how was it to be executed? |
| 21237 | But how was the affair to end? |
| 21237 | But how was this design to be accomplished? |
| 21237 | But of what use to them, farther than to gratify a little curiosity? |
| 21237 | But since they are so, how do they get through the fires? |
| 21237 | But to break up his beautiful wagon? |
| 21237 | But what after he had got back? |
| 21237 | But what led them to doubt its being theirs? |
| 21237 | But what to him now were all these fine pastures-- now that he was no longer able to stock them? |
| 21237 | But without them what availed the fine pasturage? |
| 21237 | But would_ any_ elephant wait until they could load and fire a sufficient number of shots? |
| 21237 | But, tempting as it was, what now could he do in such a place? |
| 21237 | Certainly I could-- why did I not think of it before? |
| 21237 | Could that be so? |
| 21237 | Did you not see it? |
| 21237 | For what purpose? |
| 21237 | For what reason? |
| 21237 | Had he fallen back upon the elephant''s tusks? |
| 21237 | Had he grown so interested in the race? |
| 21237 | Had she called it? |
| 21237 | Had some one fired the_ karoo_ bushes? |
| 21237 | Had the locusts been there also? |
| 21237 | Had they got upon a new track? |
| 21237 | Hans was saluted by a volley of questions,"Where have you been? |
| 21237 | He might not be able to kill a single one; and then what would become of all his grand hopes and calculations? |
| 21237 | His handkerchief? |
| 21237 | His horses, and cattle, and sheep, could not live without food; and should these perish, upon what were he and his family to subsist? |
| 21237 | How came this wild Bushman into the service of the ex- field- cornet Von Bloom? |
| 21237 | How could he obtain a set of them? |
| 21237 | How is this? |
| 21237 | How was I to avoid both enemies? |
| 21237 | How was Swartboy to approach it? |
| 21237 | How was he to detach and get possession of it? |
| 21237 | How was he to escape from the position he was placed in? |
| 21237 | How was it they had not seen him before? |
| 21237 | How was it to be arranged so as to blind the quagga? |
| 21237 | How was it to be put out of reach? |
| 21237 | How were they to get over it? |
| 21237 | How were they to manage him then? |
| 21237 | How, then, does he capture them? |
| 21237 | How, then, was it to be approached within range of the Bushman''s arrow? |
| 21237 | I had not thought of any sudden emergency,--but that was very foolish, for how knew I what might happen in a single hour or minute even? |
| 21237 | Is it likely, then, when I called Hendrik Von Bloom a boor, that I meant him any disrespect? |
| 21237 | Is it not so? |
| 21237 | Is this not an old story with us? |
| 21237 | It would be fortunate if they could be kept alive until they should reach some pasture; and where now was pasture to be found? |
| 21237 | Jump them?" |
| 21237 | Leap down, and risk his neck in the fall? |
| 21237 | Might it not be always so? |
| 21237 | Might it not be the dust raised by a great herd of antelopes,--a migration of the springboks, for instance? |
| 21237 | Might it yet rain? |
| 21237 | Might they not be trained to the saddle?--Why not? |
| 21237 | Might they not serve him for hunting the elephant just as well as horses?--Why not? |
| 21237 | Not a bite would they find anywhere, and would not hunger have destroyed them all before this? |
| 21237 | Not hurt, I hope?" |
| 21237 | Now I would ask, why could these naturalists not let the nomenclature of the boors alone? |
| 21237 | Now, do you understand what makes me so gay?" |
| 21237 | Of course the reflection occurred to him, why could_ he_ not do the same? |
| 21237 | Or might the day turn out cold? |
| 21237 | Or was it a cloud of dust? |
| 21237 | Perhaps the whole vegetation around-- for fifty miles or more-- might be destroyed; and then how would his cattle be fed? |
| 21237 | Pointing to the long crescents he said,--"You see those beautiful tusks?" |
| 21237 | Shall I read it, papa?" |
| 21237 | Should I only wound him-- and from the position he was in I was not likely to do more,--how then? |
| 21237 | Should he raise his hat upon the end of his gun? |
| 21237 | Surely there was some the day before? |
| 21237 | Surely they could not have perished of hunger, and so suddenly? |
| 21237 | Take off his jacket and hold it up? |
| 21237 | The creatures could obtain water by the spring, but food-- where? |
| 21237 | The sun was again shining; but upon what was he shining? |
| 21237 | There must be carrion near? |
| 21237 | There were bushes enough to have constructed them, but who of that tired party had the heart to cut them down and drag them to the spot? |
| 21237 | They could not have died of thirst, for there was the spring bubbling up just beside where they lay? |
| 21237 | They had"bagged"their game, it was true, but in what manner? |
| 21237 | They might go in the direction in which the locusts had gone, or that in which they had_ come_? |
| 21237 | They were as follows:-- Might not a number of these animals be caught and broken in?--Why not? |
| 21237 | True, he still had his fine wagon; but of what use would that be without either oxen or horses? |
| 21237 | True, the dogs must be taken young, but where were young ones to be obtained? |
| 21237 | Upon what were they to be fed? |
| 21237 | Von Bloom believed they would be sure to find them there, but should they find them_ alive_? |
| 21237 | Was anything amiss? |
| 21237 | Was he going to forsake the eland, and let it escape? |
| 21237 | Was he jealous about his quagga''s speed, and determined it should beat all the others? |
| 21237 | Was it caused by animals? |
| 21237 | Was it the breaking through of the roof and my sudden descent that had frightened him? |
| 21237 | Was it the forerunner of some terrible storm?--of an earthquake? |
| 21237 | Was it the wound in the animal''s side? |
| 21237 | Was it_ their_ wagon, after all? |
| 21237 | Was the lion upon the roof? |
| 21237 | Was there nothing about him that would serve as one? |
| 21237 | We are all pretty fair shots-- why can we not obtain more of these valuable trophies? |
| 21237 | Were he to be suddenly called away, what would become of them? |
| 21237 | Were his children to become"Bush- boys,"--himself a Bushman? |
| 21237 | Were the locusts passing off to the west? |
| 21237 | Were they afraid of its ugly horns? |
| 21237 | Were they its fruit? |
| 21237 | Were they painful thoughts? |
| 21237 | Were they resting themselves before they should make their bloody onslaught? |
| 21237 | Were they to grow up with no other end than to become poor hunters-- no better than the wild Bushmen? |
| 21237 | Were they to remain there all their lives, subsisting precariously on game and roots? |
| 21237 | What could he do there without them to stock it? |
| 21237 | What could he do? |
| 21237 | What could he do? |
| 21237 | What could it be? |
| 21237 | What could it mean? |
| 21237 | What could it mean? |
| 21237 | What could there be in my wiping my face to provoke the wildebeest anew? |
| 21237 | What could they be doing there? |
| 21237 | What could this mean? |
| 21237 | What could this odd thing be? |
| 21237 | What detained you? |
| 21237 | What do you think of that? |
| 21237 | What else could he make use of? |
| 21237 | What has happened to you? |
| 21237 | What is there strange or improbable in supposing that it burrows to get at the bodies, its natural food? |
| 21237 | What little fairy had sprung out of the spring, or come down from the cliffs, to befriend the good field- cornet in his hour of misery? |
| 21237 | What protection would a frail house afford against the_ man- eater_? |
| 21237 | What then? |
| 21237 | What thought he? |
| 21237 | What was Hendrik about? |
| 21237 | What was he to do? |
| 21237 | What was the brute doing? |
| 21237 | What was to hinder me from keeping off the termites? |
| 21237 | What were these strange objects, for they certainly did not belong to the buildings? |
| 21237 | What were they after? |
| 21237 | What would his children do hereafter? |
| 21237 | What, then, caused the trouble among the birds? |
| 21237 | What_ could_ it be? |
| 21237 | When would they be ready to trek back again? |
| 21237 | Where could Swartboy have gone? |
| 21237 | Where could be their breeding- place? |
| 21237 | Where was Hans? |
| 21237 | Where was the brute carrying him? |
| 21237 | Where were planks to be got? |
| 21237 | Where were they going? |
| 21237 | Where were they now? |
| 21237 | Where? |
| 21237 | Whether should he mount one of his best horses, and ride off alone in search of pasture? |
| 21237 | Whither had they strayed? |
| 21237 | Who does not feel disgust when regarding the hideous mandrill-- the drill-- the hamadryas-- or even the chacma? |
| 21237 | Who is Swartboy? |
| 21237 | Who is to give us either oxen, or horses, or sheep, for them? |
| 21237 | Why could he not build a house in the gigantic nwana? |
| 21237 | Why could they not snare the animals? |
| 21237 | Why had she uttered that strange cry? |
| 21237 | Why had they so suddenly become such favourites with the field- cornet? |
| 21237 | Why not build a log- house? |
| 21237 | Why not the hyena? |
| 21237 | Why this envious distinction? |
| 21237 | Why would not these obey the same impulse? |
| 21237 | Why, then, may I ask, do we hear so much talk of the"tamanoir,"while not a word is said of the"aard- vark?" |
| 21237 | With so much disposition to commit havoc and ruin in his moments of quietude, what would such a creature be in the hour of excitement and anger? |
| 21237 | Would I have time to get to it before he could overtake me? |
| 21237 | Would it be always so? |
| 21237 | You are impatient to hear how this change was effected? |
| 21237 | You''re all safe and sound? |
| 21237 | added little Jan."But whom can we sell them to?" |
| 21237 | and leave the cattle behind?" |
| 21237 | and was he held there by the trunk? |
| 21237 | he continued, as a new thought struck him,"and why not, just such an one?--why not?" |
| 21237 | he exclaimed, as he sat with his head between his hands,"what will become of me and mine?" |
| 21237 | how are we to knock some, of them down?" |
| 21237 | inquired little Truey, who was near him;"what were you speaking about, dear papa?" |
| 21237 | or whether would it not be better to"inspann"his wagon, and take everything along with him at once? |
| 21237 | they had horns then?" |
| 21237 | were these the kind of locusts eaten by John the Baptist when in the desert? |
| 21237 | what could it mean?" |
| 21237 | what do you mean?" |
| 21237 | what was still causing it-- for they were as noisy and terrified as ever? |
| 21237 | what would he not have given at that moment for a pair of horses, of any sort whatever? |
| 21237 | why had I not done it before? |
| 21237 | would the locusts be likely to eat them? |
| 21237 | you think so, Swart?" |
| 32566 | A Varsity man? |
| 32566 | Ah, you''ve noticed that, have you, Blachland? 32566 And do you think there is really any danger of war?" |
| 32566 | And how long a time does it take to compass that aspiration? |
| 32566 | And if I refuse? |
| 32566 | And now you wo n''t kill any snake? |
| 32566 | And now, Hilary, what have you been doing since we parted? 32566 And that way?" |
| 32566 | And the same holds good of Percy in regard to yours, eh, Canon? 32566 And you believe that?" |
| 32566 | Another wet night, I''m afraid? |
| 32566 | Any one here ever seen it close, by the way? |
| 32566 | Are n''t you coming in the spider with us, Mr Blachland? |
| 32566 | Are you come to capture the Great Great One, Isipau? |
| 32566 | Are you fond of sport? |
| 32566 | Are you going again, Mr Blachland? |
| 32566 | Are you seriously trying to fill me up? 32566 Are you still feeling cold?" |
| 32566 | Are you still the least little bit angry with me about-- er-- about things? |
| 32566 | Are you sure of yourself, Canterby? |
| 32566 | Bad word? 32566 Because I want your opinion, man-- doesn''t it stand to reason?" |
| 32566 | Because it is you, do n''t you see? |
| 32566 | Better leave that little exploration scheme you were planning strictly alone, eh? |
| 32566 | Blachland, did you say? 32566 But hang it, what''ll we do without the chappie? |
| 32566 | But how did you come upon him? |
| 32566 | But how is it to be done? 32566 But if I find just the reverse? |
| 32566 | But that makes it all the more splendid-- doesn''t it, father? |
| 32566 | But what must you think of me? |
| 32566 | But what would you have me do? 32566 But what you ca n''t turn up your nose at is our air-- eh? |
| 32566 | But why shall we have to part sooner or later? |
| 32566 | But why` Fenham''? 32566 But you did n''t really mean all you were saying a little while ago? |
| 32566 | But you do n''t really mean it, father? 32566 But-- aren''t you glad to, dearest?" |
| 32566 | But-- how? |
| 32566 | But-- why? |
| 32566 | By the way, Blachland,he said,"how are things doing in Matabeleland? |
| 32566 | By the way, Lyn,said her father,"what was that Britisher''s name? |
| 32566 | Ca n''t it? 32566 Can you stick on if I do n''t have to hold you, Skelsey?" |
| 32566 | Canon Lenthall is here, Sir Luke, and would be glad to know if you can see him? |
| 32566 | D''you mean to say you shot a lion this morning? |
| 32566 | Did n''t he tell us so this morning? |
| 32566 | Did she? 32566 Did you do any more to my drawing to- day?" |
| 32566 | Did you hear that, father? |
| 32566 | Did you think I was afraid of it? |
| 32566 | Do n''t you? 32566 Do you remember what we were talking about here, Lyn, that evening we got back from the Earles''?" |
| 32566 | Doing? 32566 Eh, has he? |
| 32566 | Eh, what? 32566 Eh? |
| 32566 | Eh? 32566 Eh? |
| 32566 | Eh? |
| 32566 | Eh? |
| 32566 | Eh? |
| 32566 | For how long? 32566 Go over and have a look at it?" |
| 32566 | Guinea- fowl? |
| 32566 | Have you any idea what this is about? |
| 32566 | Have you, old chap? 32566 Hear? |
| 32566 | How can you say that, Hilary? 32566 How d''you do, Miss Bayfield-- Er-- how d''you do?" |
| 32566 | How d''you do, Mrs Fenham? |
| 32566 | How do you know that? |
| 32566 | How do, Earle? |
| 32566 | How do, sir? 32566 How long ago was that?" |
| 32566 | How long ago? 32566 How will you find your way back?" |
| 32566 | How would you like to go over and fetch him? |
| 32566 | I ca n''t injure you, ca n''t I? |
| 32566 | I suppose there''s no doubt about it being Hilary? |
| 32566 | I was something of a prophet when I told you the toughest part of the campaign was to come, eh? |
| 32566 | Is it a case of leg- bail? |
| 32566 | Is it quite just to entail upon him so ruthlessly sweeping a penalty as this? 32566 Is it? |
| 32566 | Is n''t it? 32566 Is n''t it? |
| 32566 | Is n''t it? |
| 32566 | Is not the Great Great One waiting? |
| 32566 | Is that a fact, Percy? 32566 Is that the name of that small black nigger?" |
| 32566 | Is the gold like this, Hlangulu? |
| 32566 | Is there going to be war then? |
| 32566 | Is this how you treat the King''s guests? 32566 It is n''t to talk any more about-- er-- what we were on to last night, is it? |
| 32566 | It''s his scheme-- Eh-- What''s up, Jafta? |
| 32566 | Jonah back already? |
| 32566 | Listen, darling, you do n''t really want to get rid of me? |
| 32566 | Looks like an omen, does n''t it, Luke? |
| 32566 | May I see it now? |
| 32566 | Me? 32566 Mean?" |
| 32566 | My little one, what is it? 32566 Nantz''indaba? |
| 32566 | No bad news I hope, old chap? |
| 32566 | No more bad country you say? |
| 32566 | No white man has ever seen it close, I think you said, Sybrandt? |
| 32566 | No? 32566 Not eh? |
| 32566 | Not much, did we? 32566 Not, eh? |
| 32566 | Nothing wrong, Canterby? |
| 32566 | Nothing wrong, eh? |
| 32566 | Now do you want me to go, Hermia? 32566 Now, have we got to part sooner or later?" |
| 32566 | Oh, is that all? 32566 Oh, it is you, Hlangulu?" |
| 32566 | Oh, she''s married, then? |
| 32566 | Poor old Hilary!--What are you laughing at? |
| 32566 | Quite sure they were lions? |
| 32566 | Quite sure you''re not making a mistake in putting off going to England, Blachland? |
| 32566 | Rather short acquaintance to give an opinion upon, is n''t it? |
| 32566 | She can do without you, I expect, eh? |
| 32566 | Since when, if it''s a fair question? |
| 32566 | So that''s your latest, is it, Hermia? |
| 32566 | So you''re stopping with Bayfield? 32566 So? |
| 32566 | So? |
| 32566 | Strange, is n''t it? |
| 32566 | Taking away another woman''s personal appearance, eh, Lyn? 32566 That woman actually called Mr Blachland by his Christian name?" |
| 32566 | Their offence? 32566 Then you do n''t mind on your own?" |
| 32566 | Then you''ll let me hear soon, Hilary? |
| 32566 | They have got another kick in them after all, eh, Grantham? |
| 32566 | This is rather more risky than their bullets, eh Hilary? |
| 32566 | Throw what? 32566 Time for tiffin is it, Percy?" |
| 32566 | Tired? 32566 Want to see it, uncle? |
| 32566 | Was that up- country, Mr Blachland? |
| 32566 | Was the trip a success this time, Hilary? 32566 Well then, if in that case you could n''t stick to me, how are you going to stick to this one when you do n''t even love him? |
| 32566 | Well, Mr Blachland, what luck have you had? |
| 32566 | Well, Percy? 32566 Well, and what''s that but a boy?" |
| 32566 | Well, can you wonder? 32566 Well, shall I give him a scare over it?" |
| 32566 | Well, what is it then? |
| 32566 | Well? |
| 32566 | Well? |
| 32566 | Well? |
| 32566 | Well? |
| 32566 | Were you really? 32566 What am I talking about?" |
| 32566 | What are you thinking about, Hilary? |
| 32566 | What do you think now, Blachland? |
| 32566 | What do you think, Blachland? |
| 32566 | What does it all mean, Sybrandt? |
| 32566 | What does it matter? |
| 32566 | What has become of Spence? |
| 32566 | What have we got for` scoff,''Jack? |
| 32566 | What have we got here? |
| 32566 | What if I''m afraid? 32566 What is it, Hlangulu?" |
| 32566 | What is that which is most desired by all white men,_ Nkose_? |
| 32566 | What is their offence, Sikala- kala? |
| 32566 | What is your name the short for, Lyn? |
| 32566 | What on earth are you talking about? |
| 32566 | What on earth are your people about that they do n''t make you a Cardinal Archbishop? 32566 What pleasure can it give you to make a bigger fool of the young idiot than his parents and Nature have already made him?" |
| 32566 | What price having to eat snake? |
| 32566 | What sort of a bounder are you trying to take me for? 32566 What sort of a snake is it?" |
| 32566 | What then? 32566 What would you like to do to- day, Blachland?" |
| 32566 | What''s that you''re grinning at, you little scamp? |
| 32566 | What''s that you''re plotting, father? 32566 What''s the odds?" |
| 32566 | What''s the puzzle? |
| 32566 | What, father? 32566 What? |
| 32566 | What? |
| 32566 | What? |
| 32566 | What? |
| 32566 | Where is your mistress? |
| 32566 | Where''s West? |
| 32566 | Where''s my pipe? 32566 Where''s your hurry, man?" |
| 32566 | While we are on the subject: are you not getting a little tired of-- our partnership? |
| 32566 | Who are you wanting to shoot, Mr Earle? |
| 32566 | Who is he, and what does he want, Hilary? |
| 32566 | Who is he? |
| 32566 | Who is it? |
| 32566 | Who is she then? |
| 32566 | Who says so, Pemberton? |
| 32566 | Who''d have thought of running against you here? |
| 32566 | Who''s he? 32566 Who''s set it on fire then, Blachland?" |
| 32566 | Who''s this, I wonder? |
| 32566 | Who''s this? |
| 32566 | Who? 32566 Who?" |
| 32566 | Why are the swine so infernally aggressive? 32566 Why are you so keen on it, Percy? |
| 32566 | Why did n''t you say you were coming out, Percy? 32566 Why do n''t you thin off some of these birds? |
| 32566 | Why do you hate her so? 32566 Why should his life be wrecked or ruined?" |
| 32566 | Why should n''t it? |
| 32566 | Why what''s this? |
| 32566 | Why, Hilary, you splendid old chap, what have you done? |
| 32566 | Why, Justin? 32566 Why? |
| 32566 | Why? |
| 32566 | Why? |
| 32566 | Why` look out?'' 32566 Will it indeed?" |
| 32566 | Will you walk back with me a little way, Percy? |
| 32566 | Would n''t I-- if it had been possible? 32566 Would you? |
| 32566 | Would you? |
| 32566 | Yes, it strikes you as funny, does n''t it? |
| 32566 | You do n''t believe it? 32566 You do n''t really mean that, Hilary?" |
| 32566 | You do n''t suppose I''d have waited there to be shot at, do you? 32566 You do n''t? |
| 32566 | You mean with Hilary as my heir? |
| 32566 | You said the Bishop wanted me badly? 32566 You will do that?" |
| 32566 | You will? |
| 32566 | You would n''t call Mr Blachland a Britisher, surely, Mr Earle? |
| 32566 | You would rather put Percival into the position then? |
| 32566 | You''re not going to tell us that Lo Bengula''s set his own shop alight? |
| 32566 | You? 32566 _ Hamba petula_ stink- ant-- what the deuce is the word, Jack? |
| 32566 | ` Trouble brewing in Mashonaland''? 32566 ------------------------------------------------------------------------Well, Hilary, and how am I looking? |
| 32566 | A jackaroo?" |
| 32566 | Ah, why was he not independent and well off? |
| 32566 | All around it? |
| 32566 | Am I right?" |
| 32566 | And Hermia? |
| 32566 | And he? |
| 32566 | And now you do know, there''s not the slightest chance of her getting you into the toils again, eh?" |
| 32566 | And now, what about the buried treasure? |
| 32566 | And now, you dear ridiculous boy, what are you looking so absurdly happy about?" |
| 32566 | And that other? |
| 32566 | And the object of it? |
| 32566 | And the old Canon-- is he still to the fore?" |
| 32566 | And then, had he not himself witnessed Hilary''s gallant and daring deed, during the battle fought a couple of days ago? |
| 32566 | And then-- what is this? |
| 32566 | And what had become of Spence? |
| 32566 | And what have you been doing with yourself, Percy?" |
| 32566 | And what of the hidden gold? |
| 32566 | And what then? |
| 32566 | And what was there to gain by it? |
| 32566 | And yet, if she misjudged him? |
| 32566 | And yet-- and yet? |
| 32566 | And you did n''t know I was here?" |
| 32566 | And-- I wonder if she is with you?" |
| 32566 | And-- where''s Mr Sybrandt? |
| 32566 | Are n''t I right, Hilary?" |
| 32566 | Are n''t you going to kill him?" |
| 32566 | Are the Ingubu all killed or have they driven thee from their midst to follow a new leader? |
| 32566 | Are you at that game again? |
| 32566 | Are you still pleased, little Lyn?" |
| 32566 | Are you sure of yourself?" |
| 32566 | Are you sure of yourself?" |
| 32566 | As to which, do you happen to notice that one of our fellows is missing? |
| 32566 | But I say, old chap, she''s devilish fetching, eh?" |
| 32566 | But could he trust them, that was the crux? |
| 32566 | But how many men do you suppose she has told the same thing to-- in her time?" |
| 32566 | But was she not tantalising herself too? |
| 32566 | But what then? |
| 32566 | But what''s the use of talking? |
| 32566 | But when they had turned in and had lit their pipes for a final smoke, Percival began--"I say, Hilary, what do you think of that Mrs Fenham?" |
| 32566 | But where was Lyn? |
| 32566 | But why was he so emphatic just now when he called me that? |
| 32566 | But would they return? |
| 32566 | But"-- becoming suddenly reproachful--"why did n''t you?" |
| 32566 | But, does he really want me to go out there and hunt up Hilary?" |
| 32566 | But-- are you really going away-- to Salisbury?" |
| 32566 | But-- how did you fall in with Earle?" |
| 32566 | But-- suppose he would n''t come?" |
| 32566 | But-- what on earth--? |
| 32566 | But-- where was Hlangulu? |
| 32566 | By the way, Hermia, what on earth made you strike out in the line of instructor of youth? |
| 32566 | By the way, would you mind letting me see exactly what she has said? |
| 32566 | Carrying his bitter introspect within the physical domain, had he not become rough and weather- beaten and lined and seamed and puckered? |
| 32566 | Comprenny? |
| 32566 | Could he climb any further? |
| 32566 | Could he trust them? |
| 32566 | Could it be that in reality the spirit of the dead King was transmigrated into that serpent form? |
| 32566 | Could it have been only yesterday that he came along this road, serene, content, with no forewarning of what lay in store? |
| 32566 | Could it now?" |
| 32566 | Could she not make him just one atom jealous? |
| 32566 | Could that past ever be slurred over? |
| 32566 | D''you hear that?" |
| 32566 | Did I not tell thee thou wert dead?" |
| 32566 | Did n''t I mention it? |
| 32566 | Did n''t I say Blachland''ud never get to Umzilikazi''s grave? |
| 32566 | Did n''t I tell you he''d make old Lo Ben scoot?" |
| 32566 | Did n''t I? |
| 32566 | Did n''t I? |
| 32566 | Did n''t he come back with you?" |
| 32566 | Did n''t it? |
| 32566 | Did not the whole thing look uncommonly like an act of robbery, and the meanest kind of robbery too-- the robbery of a grave? |
| 32566 | Did you hear that, Lyn? |
| 32566 | Do n''t you miss it a great deal?" |
| 32566 | Do n''t you understand?" |
| 32566 | Do n''t you?" |
| 32566 | Do you ever get tired of this sort of life, Lyn?" |
| 32566 | Do you follow?" |
| 32566 | Do you hear?" |
| 32566 | Do you know what choked him off, Hilary? |
| 32566 | Do you know what this confounded document is?" |
| 32566 | Do you think Bayfield would take me in for a few days if I went on now with you?" |
| 32566 | Drop a line or something?" |
| 32566 | Eh, Canon?" |
| 32566 | Eh, Sybrandt?" |
| 32566 | Eh, Sybrandt?" |
| 32566 | Eh?" |
| 32566 | Even then, what? |
| 32566 | Ever shot any wild ostriches up- country, Blachland?" |
| 32566 | Fine woman that Mrs Fenham, is n''t she, Blachland?" |
| 32566 | First of all, what the deuce was she doing there? |
| 32566 | For the whole is greater than the half, and would this covetous savage remain content with the half? |
| 32566 | Four weeks?" |
| 32566 | Gold, were they? |
| 32566 | Had Hlangulu heard it, he wondered? |
| 32566 | Had Lo Bengula thought better of it, and yielded to the bloodthirsty clamour of his warriors? |
| 32566 | Had a cold drive? |
| 32566 | Had he been swept far down the river, he wondered? |
| 32566 | Had he found Hermia only to lose her immediately? |
| 32566 | Had he gone mad-- he wondered dully, or was this delirium, the beginning of the end, or the terrible unsatisfied longings of another world? |
| 32566 | Had it not left too deep, too indelible a mark on her, on both of them for that? |
| 32566 | Had it not risen up when least expected, to haunt him, to exact its retribution? |
| 32566 | Had the sound of strange footsteps reached their ears, and started them in search? |
| 32566 | Had those years been happy? |
| 32566 | Has she been uncivil to my little girlie?" |
| 32566 | Have you forgotten that, Canon?" |
| 32566 | He went on:"You see that beacon away yonder on top of the_ rand_? |
| 32566 | He''s such a nice boy, though, is n''t he?" |
| 32566 | Heart?" |
| 32566 | How about Lyn-- your sweet, pure, innocent Lyn? |
| 32566 | How are you?" |
| 32566 | How can they be friends if they''re at war? |
| 32566 | How d''you know?" |
| 32566 | How did you pick her up?" |
| 32566 | How do I know? |
| 32566 | How do you know that Hilary has not come to recognise that-- is not doing all he can to wipe out that sin?" |
| 32566 | How do, Miss Bayfield? |
| 32566 | How is that?" |
| 32566 | How long have you been away this time? |
| 32566 | How long is it since you saw Hilary?" |
| 32566 | How many of the King''s hunting dogs does it take to pull down one lion? |
| 32566 | How on earth can you ask such a question? |
| 32566 | How on earth was it going to pan out? |
| 32566 | How on earth, then, did she contrive to impart instruction to others? |
| 32566 | How that, missis? |
| 32566 | How would he take to civilisation again? |
| 32566 | How would you like to join me? |
| 32566 | How''s all yourselves? |
| 32566 | I could n''t allow the youngster to enter into any such contract as that, could I?" |
| 32566 | I say, what d''you think of that Mrs Fenham? |
| 32566 | I suppose you''ve had a great time with big game, eh? |
| 32566 | I wonder was it? |
| 32566 | I wonder what that boy is up to?" |
| 32566 | If Hilary only knew? |
| 32566 | In love with her? |
| 32566 | In that ease, was he not in its way? |
| 32566 | Indaba yezizwe? |
| 32566 | Is he not wise? |
| 32566 | Is n''t he, Mr Blachland?" |
| 32566 | Is n''t it sinful?" |
| 32566 | Is n''t it splendid?" |
| 32566 | Is n''t it splendid?" |
| 32566 | Is n''t love in a cottage a synonym for the very height of absurdity? |
| 32566 | Is that it? |
| 32566 | Is there no doing anything with these invulnerable whites? |
| 32566 | It could only find egress by passing over him-- and in that case, would it fail to strike him with its venomous deadly fangs? |
| 32566 | Justin Spence was as poor as the proverbial church mouse, else why should he be out there prospecting? |
| 32566 | Let me go, do you hear?" |
| 32566 | Me, mind? |
| 32566 | Niggers still cheeky?" |
| 32566 | Not bad, is it? |
| 32566 | Not out from home, are you?" |
| 32566 | Now these troublesome whites were coming into the country by threes and fours-- why not make an end of them before they became too numerous? |
| 32566 | Now, is n''t that a whole code of danger- signals in itself? |
| 32566 | Now, supposing she had told me, for instance, she could n''t do without me? |
| 32566 | Now, why do you suppose she has given all this away?" |
| 32566 | Of which are ye? |
| 32566 | Offend ye the ears of the Great Great One with your yelpings? |
| 32566 | Or was it the thought that Lyn Bayfield would be more or less in Hermia''s society throughout the whole of that day? |
| 32566 | Ought n''t he, father, now that he is quite one of ourselves?" |
| 32566 | Pemberton continued, albeit rather thickly:"Did n''t I say he''d never get there? |
| 32566 | Rather well, do n''t you think?" |
| 32566 | Remember the` bushcat''that was disturbing the fowls? |
| 32566 | See?" |
| 32566 | See?" |
| 32566 | Shall I ever regret it, I wonder?" |
| 32566 | Shall I say it again? |
| 32566 | Shall it do so? |
| 32566 | Shall we say anything to him now about it? |
| 32566 | Shall you shame his name, his memory? |
| 32566 | Shocked over no end of lions and elephants, and all that sort of thing?" |
| 32566 | Should he say he had been there all night? |
| 32566 | Should she take him at his word, or should she play him a little longer? |
| 32566 | Simple it sounds, does n''t it? |
| 32566 | So do we, reader, but the conditions of life are desperately uncertain, wherefore who can tell? |
| 32566 | So you have n''t found out anything more about-- Mrs Fenham, beyond what you told me last night?" |
| 32566 | Stay, do you hear?" |
| 32566 | Suppose one of those lions they''ve been talking about got hold of me? |
| 32566 | That being so, was not Blachland indeed in this man''s power? |
| 32566 | That he was lonely in camp? |
| 32566 | That is the tale? |
| 32566 | That''s a bargain, eh, Bayfield?" |
| 32566 | That''s about the British of it; eh, Hermia?" |
| 32566 | The dark mysteries of the Great bold no terrors for him?" |
| 32566 | The old induna shrugged his shoulders, as he answered--"Who am I that I should pry into the King''s mind, Klistiaan? |
| 32566 | The owner starts to run, but what chance has he against these? |
| 32566 | The pain of his ankle, intensified in its fierce throbbing-- was it the_ mamba_ poison after all? |
| 32566 | The snake? |
| 32566 | The tale of the nations? |
| 32566 | The worst of it was that he was indebted to Blachland for more than one good turn, and now, what had been his requital for such? |
| 32566 | The youngster wo n''t be in the way, will he, Earle? |
| 32566 | Then a change came over the aspect of affairs, but was it a change for the better? |
| 32566 | Then why not give him another chance?" |
| 32566 | Then, pausing:"Why do you torment me like this, Hermia, when you know--""What''s that? |
| 32566 | Then, turning to the old induna, who had quelled the outcry against them,"Who has poisoned the heart of the Great Great One against us, Faku? |
| 32566 | There, say when-- is that right?" |
| 32566 | These men are there to watch over the safety of the column laagered up yonder, but who shall watch over their own safety? |
| 32566 | They have no more waggons to hide behind, and the_ izikwakwa_ are broken down, for did we not find their wheels? |
| 32566 | Tickey and Primrose? |
| 32566 | Tired of this kind of fun yet?" |
| 32566 | To bring the other rascal home, did n''t I? |
| 32566 | To himself the smiler was thinking,"So this is the latest, is it? |
| 32566 | Under cover of the smoke would it be practicable to slip out, and getting round the pile of boulders, lie hidden in some crevice or cranny until dark? |
| 32566 | Very much... Why, what''s the matter now?" |
| 32566 | Want to saddle up, Spence?" |
| 32566 | Was he never to see her again? |
| 32566 | Was he, after all, in love with Lyn? |
| 32566 | Was it accidental? |
| 32566 | Was it merely a coincidence that their looks and the significance of the remark seemed to be directed peculiarly at Blachland? |
| 32566 | Was it possible that Blachland was afraid? |
| 32566 | Was it real? |
| 32566 | Was it something of the kind that softened his as he replied to her? |
| 32566 | Was it that something of the old, frank, childlike ingenuousness seemed to have disappeared? |
| 32566 | Was it the fangs of the deadly_ mamba_? |
| 32566 | Was it the same? |
| 32566 | Was n''t there? |
| 32566 | Was that an answer? |
| 32566 | Was the brute going to attack him? |
| 32566 | Was there a touch of wistfulness in the words, in the tone as she gazed? |
| 32566 | Was there not a third, however, which was less so? |
| 32566 | Well, shall I start?" |
| 32566 | Well, there seemed something in it, and if his ill- luck began here what was awaiting him when he should have effected his purpose? |
| 32566 | Were n''t they, Justin?" |
| 32566 | Were n''t we talking about him?" |
| 32566 | What about its Mashunaland equivalent-- love in a prospector''s camp?" |
| 32566 | What business had they to go running their necks into this noose?" |
| 32566 | What could I do then, Bayfield? |
| 32566 | What did I send Percy out there for? |
| 32566 | What do you know about the woman? |
| 32566 | What do you say?" |
| 32566 | What do you think about this part of the world, West?" |
| 32566 | What does it mean anyhow?" |
| 32566 | What had alarmed the animals? |
| 32566 | What had become of all his misgivings now, as he sprang out of bed, his one and only thought that of joining her as soon as possible? |
| 32566 | What had changed him? |
| 32566 | What if Blachland were returning thus with a purpose-- making a sort of surprise return? |
| 32566 | What if I find him a thoroughly hardened and disreputable scamp?" |
| 32566 | What if he had heard-- had understood? |
| 32566 | What if he had intended returning much earlier, but had miscalculated time and distance? |
| 32566 | What if he suspected? |
| 32566 | What if he_ had_ returned much earlier? |
| 32566 | What if it''s four or fourteen or forty? |
| 32566 | What if she had been playing a game of bluff? |
| 32566 | What if she was by no means so ready to give herself away as she had affected to be? |
| 32566 | What if the missing man, confused by the spoor, had made for the river bank, intending to follow it? |
| 32566 | What if this concealed gold were really there, and be succeeded in obtaining it? |
| 32566 | What if this were one of them? |
| 32566 | What if-- when she found there was nothing to be gained by it-- she were to adopt the more prudent course, and maintain silence? |
| 32566 | What offence can be greater than such?" |
| 32566 | What on earth could be the reason, thought Blachland? |
| 32566 | What on earth did it mean? |
| 32566 | What on earth was her game, he wondered, and what had become of Spence? |
| 32566 | What on earth was it that made retrospect so utterly distasteful to him now? |
| 32566 | What right to it had he? |
| 32566 | What shall I do, Hilary? |
| 32566 | What shall it be?" |
| 32566 | What then?" |
| 32566 | What then?" |
| 32566 | What was it?" |
| 32566 | What was this? |
| 32566 | What was this? |
| 32566 | What was this? |
| 32566 | What was this? |
| 32566 | What was this? |
| 32566 | What were you saying? |
| 32566 | What will she say when she knows? |
| 32566 | What will the Bayfields say when they hear what you and I have been to each other?" |
| 32566 | What would he not do if she so ordained it? |
| 32566 | What''s the matter? |
| 32566 | What''s this?" |
| 32566 | What''s wrong? |
| 32566 | When they had done, Skelsey remarked:"Shall we go and have a shoot?" |
| 32566 | When?" |
| 32566 | Where are you, old chap?" |
| 32566 | Where are you?" |
| 32566 | Where do you think of moving to next, if not an impertinent question?" |
| 32566 | Where had he last been seen? |
| 32566 | Where on earth have you dropped from? |
| 32566 | Where''s Lyn?" |
| 32566 | Where''s his waggon and Sybrandt? |
| 32566 | Which was that one to be? |
| 32566 | Which was that one to be? |
| 32566 | Who among dark races would go and place themselves in the power of a mighty and warrior race as these did? |
| 32566 | Who and what on earth are you talking about, Hilary?" |
| 32566 | Who but a madman would provoke the wrath of the Black Bull?" |
| 32566 | Who had fired it? |
| 32566 | Who were these whites? |
| 32566 | Who would have thought of seeing you?" |
| 32566 | Who''s talking bosh this time?" |
| 32566 | Who''s talking scandal now?" |
| 32566 | Who''s this from?" |
| 32566 | Who''s this?" |
| 32566 | Why are you going to do this?" |
| 32566 | Why are you so bent on winning this boy? |
| 32566 | Why did n''t you? |
| 32566 | Why me, then?" |
| 32566 | Why not leave it then, move to some more cheerful and civilised quarter of the globe? |
| 32566 | Why not? |
| 32566 | Why not? |
| 32566 | Why on earth did you look so dismal and blank when he said that?" |
| 32566 | Why should I? |
| 32566 | Why should n''t he come?" |
| 32566 | Why the deuce then should he be unable to follow a plain broad spoor, for this seemed the only way of accounting for his deflection? |
| 32566 | Why, what''s this?" |
| 32566 | Will they be able to bite?" |
| 32566 | Will you be a very dear boy, Justin, and do something for me?" |
| 32566 | Will you go with me, Mr Blachland?" |
| 32566 | Will you? |
| 32566 | Would he be very jealous?" |
| 32566 | Would he never get to the end of that closely written sheet and a half? |
| 32566 | Would he? |
| 32566 | Would it bring him any advantage, however trifling-- was his eager thought? |
| 32566 | Would not the latter regard him as upon much the same plane as Hermia herself? |
| 32566 | Would surprises never end? |
| 32566 | Would they miss each other? |
| 32566 | Yes? |
| 32566 | Yet what chance had he there? |
| 32566 | Yet, even if such were the case, what on earth did it matter to him? |
| 32566 | Yet-- are we?" |
| 32566 | You do n''t say so?" |
| 32566 | You going on this new trot, Sybrandt?" |
| 32566 | You have n''t really married any-- er-- fool of that name?" |
| 32566 | You know what I mean?" |
| 32566 | You may remember I told you so not long before?" |
| 32566 | You quite see that, do n''t you?" |
| 32566 | You remember?" |
| 32566 | You will go with me at once-- to- morrow-- never to part?" |
| 32566 | You''ll do me the credit of believing that, wo n''t you?" |
| 32566 | You''ll like something to drink after the said walk?" |
| 32566 | You''re not really sorry?" |
| 32566 | You''re quite big enough, and--""Ugly enough? |
| 32566 | _ Tis waar_, I''m sorry he''s gone-- ain''t you?" |
| 32566 | cried the latter, disinterring his nose from a newly opened sheet,"but wo n''t Mr Blachland make Lo Bengula scoot, when once he gets at him? |
| 32566 | have n''t you got the whole world to pick and choose from, but you must needs come here and make a fool of this boy?" |
| 32566 | he wondered; or, rather, would he miss Hermia? |
| 32566 | housekeeper?" |
| 32566 | she said, and her glance of mischief was not lost upon Blachland, who remarked:"Does that fact denationalise me, Mrs Fenham? |
| 32566 | what is that?" |
| 32568 | A joke does it? 32568 A shut mouth? |
| 32568 | Afraid? 32568 Again? |
| 32568 | Ai n''t you rather-- well, uncomfortable, at times, here, all alone? |
| 32568 | All? 32568 Am I?" |
| 32568 | And are these people round you Zulus, Mr Glanton? |
| 32568 | And if my horse is lame how shall I use him? |
| 32568 | And is the result disappointing? |
| 32568 | And now son of Majendwa, what has come between me and the chief that he holds my hand no more? 32568 And now to begin with-- who claims him?" |
| 32568 | And the snake? |
| 32568 | And the young one-- he who sits in Nyamaki''s place-- does he think he will return? |
| 32568 | And this is your idea of fair play? |
| 32568 | And we take them the wrong way, is n''t that what you mean? |
| 32568 | And what of the pool here, and the big serpent, and Ukozi feeding it with the kid? |
| 32568 | And why should I not go home to- night? |
| 32568 | And with the other two? |
| 32568 | And you will show us some Zulus for the occasion? |
| 32568 | And your trip was not a great success after all, Falkner tells us? |
| 32568 | And, now, by the way, where are the said huts? |
| 32568 | Any chance of a tub, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Any more fellows whose heads want punching-- eh, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Are there any more of them? |
| 32568 | Are there none present to whom I may bequeath my vengeance? |
| 32568 | Are there? 32568 Are they hard at a deal?" |
| 32568 | Are they here to trade, Iqalaqala? |
| 32568 | Ashamed of it? 32568 At least, I mean-- was it far from here?" |
| 32568 | But do n''t you ever feel inclined to make things bright and pretty about your place? |
| 32568 | But now, if there was a war with Cetywayo,struck in the Major,"would these people go over to him or stand by us?" |
| 32568 | But the police-- what do they think of it? |
| 32568 | But was that all? |
| 32568 | But what about the farm? |
| 32568 | But what was it we saw in the crevice? |
| 32568 | But would they have the cheek to do that? |
| 32568 | But you will come and see us directly you return, wo n''t you? 32568 But, confound it all-- what about our hunt?" |
| 32568 | But, what do we seek, father of the wise? |
| 32568 | But-- when was it? |
| 32568 | By Jove, are they? |
| 32568 | By the way is n''t it extraordinary that Arlo wo n''t take to Ivondwe? 32568 By the way, Major, has anything more been heard about Hensley?" |
| 32568 | Can he? 32568 Can she find Nyamaki?" |
| 32568 | Coming, Glanton? 32568 Could he have been passing here at the time I dropped the coin, and deliberately planned a sort of_ coup de theatre_?" |
| 32568 | Could n''t we manage to catch it? |
| 32568 | Could you form any idea? |
| 32568 | Did we, Aida? |
| 32568 | Did you know Hensley well? |
| 32568 | Did you promise to tell me before three moons were dead, whether you were sorry you had kept me in your service or not? |
| 32568 | Did you? 32568 Disappeared?" |
| 32568 | Do the_ Amakosi_ think the young missis has got into the water? |
| 32568 | Do they haggle much? |
| 32568 | Do they sacrifice someone every time rain is wanted? |
| 32568 | Do you know where she is? |
| 32568 | Do you think you could take him yourselves and alive? |
| 32568 | Do? 32568 Does he know what it is? |
| 32568 | Does that sort of thing happen here often? |
| 32568 | Dolf Norbury, I mean? |
| 32568 | Down here? |
| 32568 | Eh, my buck? 32568 Eh-- what the dev-- Oh I say, Glanton-- You do n''t mean--?" |
| 32568 | Eh? 32568 Ever learn boxing, Glanton?" |
| 32568 | Feel inclined for another spar? 32568 First of all,"I said,"if the dog belongs to Udolfu, why is not Udolfu here himself to claim him? |
| 32568 | Fishing lines? 32568 Frightened? |
| 32568 | Glanton? 32568 Go home?" |
| 32568 | Going away? 32568 Haggle? |
| 32568 | Has Ivondwe made any revelation? |
| 32568 | Has Nyamaki ever been seen again? |
| 32568 | Has she been injured in any way? 32568 Have I not searched the depths of yonder pool?" |
| 32568 | Have I seen you before? |
| 32568 | Have n''t you two fellows pummelled each other enough? |
| 32568 | Have we got to fight all these? 32568 Have you found Hensley yet?" |
| 32568 | He was n''t here last night, was he? |
| 32568 | He''s the chief''s son, and he''s going to boss up the arrangements, so do n''t be uncivil to him if you can help it, eh? |
| 32568 | Hensley? 32568 How can that be?" |
| 32568 | How depressing? |
| 32568 | How did Falkner behave himself? |
| 32568 | How do you account for this kind of thing? |
| 32568 | How do you know that, Jan Boom? |
| 32568 | How do you know that? |
| 32568 | How do you know there are not? |
| 32568 | How long did he seem to have been there? |
| 32568 | How on earth did they manage, in the case of my uncle, to spirit him away as they did-- and leave no trace? |
| 32568 | How was the dog killed? |
| 32568 | How? 32568 Hurt myself will I, my blanked popinjay? |
| 32568 | Hurt myself will I-- aw haw? |
| 32568 | I can only repeat what I said before, Major? |
| 32568 | I say though, but does n''t it seem a sin to bury two splendid looking girls in an out- of- the- way place like this? |
| 32568 | I say though,said Falkner,"to be serious, is n''t this rather-- well, injudicious, Glanton? |
| 32568 | I want you to promise me something, Mr Glanton, will you? |
| 32568 | I warned you there was nothing particular to see, did n''t I? |
| 32568 | If you slay the son of a chief how long will it be before the English carry the word to the Great Great One''s ears? 32568 Into Zululand?" |
| 32568 | Is he a chief? |
| 32568 | Is it the cares and perils of your expedition-- or what? |
| 32568 | Is it? |
| 32568 | Is n''t this Tyingoza the chief of the location? |
| 32568 | Is n''t your relative rather a queer tempered sort of fellow? |
| 32568 | Is that all they have to go upon? |
| 32568 | Is that all? 32568 Is that to be?" |
| 32568 | Is that you, dear? 32568 Is there going to be any more dancing, Mr Glanton?" |
| 32568 | Is there to be no end to all these mischievous idiots and their larks? |
| 32568 | Ivondwe? 32568 Ivondwe?" |
| 32568 | Joke does it? |
| 32568 | Majendwa? |
| 32568 | Man, what the deuce took you wandering about at night? 32568 May I be permitted to ask why?" |
| 32568 | Might I, as a matter of curiosity, ask who the` someone else''may be? |
| 32568 | Mind? 32568 Myself?" |
| 32568 | Near thing? 32568 Never see her again?" |
| 32568 | No more? 32568 No one?" |
| 32568 | No? 32568 No? |
| 32568 | Not down there? |
| 32568 | Not found him yet? |
| 32568 | Not here? |
| 32568 | Not you? 32568 Now how can the father of wisdom ask such a question?" |
| 32568 | Now what do you think of the affair? |
| 32568 | Now, Tyingoza, I would ask: What people does? |
| 32568 | Nyamaki has not returned? |
| 32568 | Nyamaki is not home again, Iqalaqala? |
| 32568 | Off- saddle wo n''t you? 32568 Oh blazes, how was I to know? |
| 32568 | Oh hang it, what d''you mean? 32568 Oh was she?" |
| 32568 | Oh, Hensley was your uncle, was he? |
| 32568 | Oh, so you''re Dolf Norbury, are you? |
| 32568 | Oh, you ride transport then? 32568 Old Hensley has n''t turned up again, then?" |
| 32568 | Only the old people? |
| 32568 | Or how would it be to try bait for the beast, whatever it is-- eh, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Post? 32568 Quite sure it''s all there are?" |
| 32568 | Really? 32568 See? |
| 32568 | Shall I risk disgracing myself for ever in your eyes by owning that I am getting just a little bit frightened? 32568 Sleep here?" |
| 32568 | Snake? 32568 So this is the` roughing it''you warned us against, Mr Glanton?" |
| 32568 | So you are going_ kwa Zulu_ directly? |
| 32568 | So you speak with the tongue of the Amangisi, and I knew it not? |
| 32568 | Stand? 32568 Supposing you were taken to a review, in France or Germany say-- would you feel any misgivings because the troops were fully armed?" |
| 32568 | Surely I have seen thee before? |
| 32568 | That all he did? |
| 32568 | That all? |
| 32568 | That your idea of fair play, is it? |
| 32568 | The eldest of course? |
| 32568 | The next thing is, what are we going to do? |
| 32568 | The question is how did he get here? 32568 The thing is, can we swallow it?" |
| 32568 | Then I am to understand I must congratulate you-- both-- on an engagement? |
| 32568 | Then you leave it to me? |
| 32568 | Think that skunk''ll give us any more trouble, eh, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Think you can get him to talk, eh? 32568 Turn your blanked oxen round, and trek back-- d''you hear? |
| 32568 | U''Nyakami? 32568 U''Nyamaki? |
| 32568 | U''Tom? 32568 Udolfu? |
| 32568 | Ukozi? 32568 Up to? |
| 32568 | Very lame? |
| 32568 | Walk? 32568 Want to get rid of me, do you?" |
| 32568 | Want? 32568 Wants to disappear? |
| 32568 | Was there then a snake in the other pool which we found? |
| 32568 | We do n''t propose to spend the rest of the day staring at each other like stuck pigs, I take it? |
| 32568 | We will be able to see some of it too, wo n''t we, Mr Glanton? |
| 32568 | We''ll all stroll back together-- eh, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Well and how did you get on with Sewin up- country? |
| 32568 | Well but-- what of the niggers? |
| 32568 | Well but-- who are you? 32568 Well what other motive have you in helping me in this matter? |
| 32568 | Well you would n''t have had him scowl, would you? |
| 32568 | Well, and how''s trade? |
| 32568 | Well, and what is it you want now? |
| 32568 | Well, and what then? |
| 32568 | Well, if a brute comes at me brandishing a stick with a knob like a cricket ball I''ve got to do something, have n''t I? |
| 32568 | Well, what news does she give you? |
| 32568 | Well, why did n''t you investigate further, while you were at it? |
| 32568 | Well? 32568 Well?" |
| 32568 | What about my horse? 32568 What about the farm?" |
| 32568 | What are they saying? |
| 32568 | What can I do, Udolfu? |
| 32568 | What can it be? |
| 32568 | What d''you think, Glanton? |
| 32568 | What do you say? 32568 What does it mean, Glanton?" |
| 32568 | What does it mean? |
| 32568 | What does what mean? |
| 32568 | What has become of Nyamaki? |
| 32568 | What have you been talking about all this time? |
| 32568 | What have you there? |
| 32568 | What if Tom should take into his head to come here again? |
| 32568 | What if he wants to send us off on a fool''s errand while he climbs down to the crevice there and gets hold of the real coin? |
| 32568 | What if that sweep whose head I punched should be at the bottom of it? |
| 32568 | What if this is another trap and we are going to be the next to disappear? 32568 What is in the water down there, Ukozi?" |
| 32568 | What is in the water yonder? |
| 32568 | What is it? |
| 32568 | What is that? |
| 32568 | What is this about Nyakami? |
| 32568 | What is this, children of Tyingoza? |
| 32568 | What is thy name? |
| 32568 | What knowest thou of this, for I think thou couldst not have been far from this place at sundown yesterday? |
| 32568 | What on earth-- Are you at it again, Sewin? |
| 32568 | What sort of a man are you to come in and try to sneak another man''s trade? 32568 What sort of queer things, Major?" |
| 32568 | What the deuce are they up to now? |
| 32568 | What was I saying, Iqalaqala? |
| 32568 | What was it you came across? |
| 32568 | What was it? |
| 32568 | What''s going to be done? |
| 32568 | What''s it all about, Glanton? |
| 32568 | What''s it all about, any way? |
| 32568 | What''s it all about? |
| 32568 | What''s the good of you people? 32568 What''s the matter? |
| 32568 | What? 32568 What? |
| 32568 | What? |
| 32568 | When are you going on that trading trip-- into the Zulu country? |
| 32568 | Where did you sleep? |
| 32568 | Where is Jan Boom? |
| 32568 | Where is Ukozi? |
| 32568 | Where is the bird that flew over our heads a few hours ago? |
| 32568 | Where is this place? |
| 32568 | Where ought we to search, Ivondwe? |
| 32568 | Where was that? |
| 32568 | Where? |
| 32568 | Which of them is it? |
| 32568 | Who are these? |
| 32568 | Who are we? 32568 Who are ye that come bellowing down upon me like a pack of kraal curs? |
| 32568 | Who are ye? |
| 32568 | Who is he? |
| 32568 | Who is this? |
| 32568 | Who may say? 32568 Who may tell?" |
| 32568 | Who the deuce wants to talk of Kendrew now? |
| 32568 | Who the devil said you were going alone, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Who''s a thundering great scoundrel at bottom, Falkner? |
| 32568 | Who''s the other chap? |
| 32568 | Who? |
| 32568 | Why is it I ca n''t do anything with these damned fellows of yours? 32568 Why what''s the row?" |
| 32568 | Why what''s the row? |
| 32568 | Why you infernal murderer, did you think I was going to stand by and see you use it? |
| 32568 | Will he who sits yonder--meaning my recent entertainer--"offer large reward?" |
| 32568 | Will he, the_ igcwane_, come out and fight? 32568 Will you come and help me water some of the flowers, Mr Glanton?" |
| 32568 | Will you? 32568 Wo n''t they go over it again?" |
| 32568 | Would n''t it be in the water then? |
| 32568 | Would n''t they? 32568 Would you be surprised to hear that I obtain a good deal of astonishingly accurate information through the same source, Sewin?" |
| 32568 | Yes, but what the devil has all the jaw been about? 32568 You are alone?" |
| 32568 | You back, Glanton? |
| 32568 | You did n''t move him, did you? |
| 32568 | You do n''t, eh? 32568 You have n''t been out for nothing?" |
| 32568 | You have n''t started in to punch his head yet, eh Falkner? |
| 32568 | You remember that witch doctor, Ukozi, who came upon us suddenly at the waterhole that same last evening, when my coin was lost? 32568 You see, we are all so friendly together, are we not?" |
| 32568 | You taking lessons in high art? 32568 _ Kwa''Sipanga_?" |
| 32568 | ` Any sacrifice they chose?'' |
| 32568 | ` Why then, have I not taken the chief at his word?'' 32568 A figure was stealing along in the not very distinct moonlight; a human figure or-- was it? 32568 A joke eh? 32568 A witch doctor? |
| 32568 | Again why not? |
| 32568 | Ai n''t ashamed of it, are you?" |
| 32568 | Aida, you are sure they have not injured you?" |
| 32568 | Amusing chap, Kendrew, is n''t he?" |
| 32568 | An ill omen? |
| 32568 | And Umsindo? |
| 32568 | And for me? |
| 32568 | And if none, how could he be of any assistance? |
| 32568 | And no one had opened the stable? |
| 32568 | And now I became aware of a strange sickly scent, almost like that of a drug-- yet how could it be? |
| 32568 | And now, what would my reception be? |
| 32568 | And now-- you start on Wednesday? |
| 32568 | And so that is Zululand?" |
| 32568 | And talking about Arlo, was n''t it strange how he seemed not to mind that man''s presence? |
| 32568 | And the motive of this outrage? |
| 32568 | And this one-- if he wants to disappear why should he not?" |
| 32568 | And what do you want?" |
| 32568 | And what was it all about? |
| 32568 | And who are ye that rush into my camp with weapons in your hands?" |
| 32568 | And yet-- revenge-- could it bring back to me my love-- my sweet lost love? |
| 32568 | And you have come to take me home? |
| 32568 | And-- has it not rained? |
| 32568 | And-- what did you answer?" |
| 32568 | And-- what of Umsindo?" |
| 32568 | And-- what was this? |
| 32568 | Are there any holes like this round Hensley''s place?" |
| 32568 | Been down there since you got back? |
| 32568 | Besides-- what did it matter? |
| 32568 | But what stages of horror and despair must she not have passed through since her mysterious capture? |
| 32568 | But will it be possible? |
| 32568 | But you? |
| 32568 | But, wo n''t you come round now and have tea? |
| 32568 | But-- do you know?" |
| 32568 | But-- what about the farm? |
| 32568 | But-- what is it all about? |
| 32568 | By the way, how are you getting on in your studies? |
| 32568 | By the way, how the dickens do you manage to talk to him? |
| 32568 | By the way, what were you blazing at soon after we parted? |
| 32568 | Can any of you think of some expedient?" |
| 32568 | Clue?" |
| 32568 | Confess now, Mr Glanton, have n''t you?" |
| 32568 | Confound it, what was the matter with me, that I sat dreaming and building castles in the air? |
| 32568 | Could I have got in a word edgeways?" |
| 32568 | Could I trust him? |
| 32568 | Could it mean that war had actually broken out? |
| 32568 | D''you hear, man?" |
| 32568 | D''you hear? |
| 32568 | D''you hear?" |
| 32568 | D''you think we''re going to keep any blasted nigger here as a favour on his part?" |
| 32568 | Dashed hot, is n''t it?" |
| 32568 | Did he visit you here?" |
| 32568 | Did the old witch doctor tell you something momentous that you forgot to pass on to me? |
| 32568 | Did you invent that story, Mr Glanton?" |
| 32568 | Did you think me very weak and foolish for allowing myself to get frightened as I did?" |
| 32568 | Did you?" |
| 32568 | Disappeared?" |
| 32568 | Do n''t you find this rough country and rough life a sadly different thing to what you had expected?" |
| 32568 | Do you hear that? |
| 32568 | Do you hear? |
| 32568 | Do you know, he can talk English quite well?" |
| 32568 | Do you mean to say it was all impromptu?" |
| 32568 | Do you remember what you said that last evening I was here? |
| 32568 | Do you think it can have fallen into the water?" |
| 32568 | Dolf Norbury, d''you hear? |
| 32568 | Dost thou not fear it?" |
| 32568 | Eh?" |
| 32568 | Eh?" |
| 32568 | Eh?" |
| 32568 | Eh?" |
| 32568 | Eh?" |
| 32568 | Father, what do you think? |
| 32568 | For instance what on earth had possessed me to take such an interest in the well- being or ill- being of Major Sewin and his family? |
| 32568 | For instance-- there we were, all jolly together again-- what the deuce was there to cry about? |
| 32568 | Got a towel? |
| 32568 | Had he heard what I had been saying, or any part of it? |
| 32568 | Had he intended it as a warning? |
| 32568 | Had he not been worth his pay so far? |
| 32568 | Had she been hideously and secretly done to death? |
| 32568 | Had she been reading my thoughts as I sat silent among the rest? |
| 32568 | Hang it, Glanton, do n''t I put things plain enough? |
| 32568 | Has he gone then?" |
| 32568 | Has she?" |
| 32568 | Have n''t you heard? |
| 32568 | Have you learnt?" |
| 32568 | Have you tried him before?" |
| 32568 | He can find it for us then? |
| 32568 | He has n''t started in to fleece you any, you say?" |
| 32568 | He merely answered:"Who can think in such a case?" |
| 32568 | He, too, did not reach Nyamaki''s house that night?" |
| 32568 | His beastly performance with the snake!--was he training it to seize human beings, in the furtherance of some devilish form of native superstition? |
| 32568 | How are you getting on, by the way?" |
| 32568 | How could such a wealth of happiness come my way? |
| 32568 | How is it there are no natives here to- day?" |
| 32568 | How many waggons?" |
| 32568 | How shall he talk yonder--_kwa_ Majendwa?" |
| 32568 | How then can they make use of such?" |
| 32568 | How was it you were doomed to it, and how did you escape?" |
| 32568 | How would it be to scare up a hunt to- morrow, and get a lot of these chaps to help? |
| 32568 | How''s that?" |
| 32568 | How?" |
| 32568 | I admitted readily that this was so, and the while I was wondering why he should be so anxious to remain? |
| 32568 | I said in the vernacular,"for so far there is no more trace than that left by a bird in the air? |
| 32568 | I say, Glanton, what can be behind it all? |
| 32568 | I-- we-- shall miss you so much, Mr Glanton-- and you have been so kind to us--""That all?" |
| 32568 | Is Ukozi about here now?" |
| 32568 | Is Ukozi at the back of this?" |
| 32568 | Is he afraid?" |
| 32568 | Is he dead?" |
| 32568 | Is he ill?" |
| 32568 | Is it easy?" |
| 32568 | Is it not so, brothers?" |
| 32568 | Is n''t that enough? |
| 32568 | Is n''t that it?" |
| 32568 | Is that to be?" |
| 32568 | Is the mouth of Umsindo ever shut?" |
| 32568 | Is there now war?" |
| 32568 | It may only be a coincidence mind-- but you remember old Hensley''s disappearance?" |
| 32568 | Ivuzamanzi? |
| 32568 | Just as good fish in the sea, eh?" |
| 32568 | Let''s start fair, d''you hear? |
| 32568 | No time like the present, eh?" |
| 32568 | No-- Ukozi had played some trick upon me for some reason of his own, but-- what was that reason? |
| 32568 | Not afraid, are you?" |
| 32568 | Not yet within British jurisdiction, eh?" |
| 32568 | Nothing like getting to know one''s neighbours, and there ai n''t so many of them, eh?" |
| 32568 | Now have you lighted upon any fresh clue?" |
| 32568 | Now is that encouraging to one who would help them?" |
| 32568 | Now supposing that horror had suddenly seized him?" |
| 32568 | Now was n''t it?" |
| 32568 | Now why is this?" |
| 32568 | Now why, Udolfu?" |
| 32568 | Now, Iqalaqala, will that do?" |
| 32568 | Now, Mr Glanton, you know these people, and I ask you what does it all mean? |
| 32568 | Now-- d''you hear?" |
| 32568 | Now-- do you see?" |
| 32568 | Oh-- What is that?" |
| 32568 | Or are you always so very busy up there?" |
| 32568 | Or d''you feel too groggy in the nut?" |
| 32568 | Or, are the horns of Matyana''s calves long enough to reach across? |
| 32568 | Row? |
| 32568 | See? |
| 32568 | See?" |
| 32568 | See?" |
| 32568 | See?" |
| 32568 | Shall we fix up a day? |
| 32568 | Shall we see you again between this and then?" |
| 32568 | She is safe and sound? |
| 32568 | Sleep? |
| 32568 | Sort of ill luck, eh-- evil eye and all that kind of business? |
| 32568 | Strange, is n''t it? |
| 32568 | Tell me that, Nonguza?" |
| 32568 | Tell me, Mr Glanton, what was it all about?" |
| 32568 | Tell me,_ Amakosi_, will not your people have him lashed before they hang him? |
| 32568 | Tell me-- what is the strangest of them?" |
| 32568 | That would be a poor sort of satisfaction, would it not?" |
| 32568 | That would have struck you as funny, eh? |
| 32568 | That you? |
| 32568 | The while a desperate idea had come into my head, but, would it bear carrying out? |
| 32568 | Then he said:"Who may tell? |
| 32568 | There may be underground tunnels, connecting it with anywhere?" |
| 32568 | There was no outward visible difference between them, as how indeed, should there be, since both were sprung from absolutely the same stock? |
| 32568 | They are not likely to do anything of that sort to- day, are they? |
| 32568 | This was his motive, then, in resolving to return with me? |
| 32568 | Those? |
| 32568 | Umsindo? |
| 32568 | Was he going on the native principle of telling you what you would most like to know? |
| 32568 | Was it only on account of some imaginary protection my presence might afford that she had been so cordially and unfeignedly glad to welcome me? |
| 32568 | Was the fact that we had made it, first one of us and then the other, at the bottom of the chief''s displeasure? |
| 32568 | Was there more in that gruesome discovery of mine-- and Falkner''s-- than met the eye? |
| 32568 | We''re right as trivets, eh, Glanton?" |
| 32568 | Well how long has he had him, and where did he get him?" |
| 32568 | Well, what if she had? |
| 32568 | Were they afraid, and, if so, what of? |
| 32568 | What I did say was:"And you would spend some years-- in chains-- mending the roads and quarrying stones for the Government? |
| 32568 | What am I to do?" |
| 32568 | What are you doing in these parts, eh?" |
| 32568 | What are you going to stand for him?" |
| 32568 | What business has he to grin at me?" |
| 32568 | What can have become of it, Mr Glanton? |
| 32568 | What could he do? |
| 32568 | What could he know of this last outrage? |
| 32568 | What d''you think it meant, Glanton? |
| 32568 | What d''you think of that, Edith? |
| 32568 | What d''you think, Major?" |
| 32568 | What d''you think, uncle? |
| 32568 | What did it mean-- what the very deuce did it mean? |
| 32568 | What did it mean? |
| 32568 | What do I, a prosaic trader in the Zulu, for all my experience of border and up- country matters, know about such things? |
| 32568 | What do you draw your pay for anyway? |
| 32568 | What do you think of that, Mr Glanton?" |
| 32568 | What do you think?" |
| 32568 | What do you think?" |
| 32568 | What does it mean?" |
| 32568 | What does this mean?" |
| 32568 | What ghastly rites of devil worship were enacted here? |
| 32568 | What good purpose could I serve by investigating it further? |
| 32568 | What had been happening of late? |
| 32568 | What had he discovered-- or, had he discovered anything? |
| 32568 | What had he to do with the disappearance of people? |
| 32568 | What has he been up to?" |
| 32568 | What if Jan Boom had miscalculated and we arrived too late after all? |
| 32568 | What if the family were away from home? |
| 32568 | What if when I returned I should find them gone? |
| 32568 | What if you were to fall into the water-- after what we have just seen? |
| 32568 | What infernal witchcraft was this that could hold me up here on a path I had ridden several times before, on this identical horse too? |
| 32568 | What is it?" |
| 32568 | What means this? |
| 32568 | What nigger''s this?" |
| 32568 | What on earth could come of it-- at any rate to my advantage? |
| 32568 | What part had he borne in it, if any? |
| 32568 | What terrors must she not have endured? |
| 32568 | What the deuce are they made of?" |
| 32568 | What the deuce had become of Falkner? |
| 32568 | What the deuce had become of the man? |
| 32568 | What then?" |
| 32568 | What thinkest thou, son of Tyingoza?" |
| 32568 | What was I saying? |
| 32568 | What was in Tyingoza''s mind? |
| 32568 | What was the matter with all the people? |
| 32568 | What was the object of this answer turned into another question? |
| 32568 | What was this? |
| 32568 | What was this? |
| 32568 | What will he do?" |
| 32568 | What''s the row this time?" |
| 32568 | What''s the row?" |
| 32568 | What''s your name? |
| 32568 | What? |
| 32568 | When an induna of the King is present, is he greater than only the head of a kraal-- a large kraal certainly-- or is he less? |
| 32568 | When are you going to build a new hut?" |
| 32568 | When?" |
| 32568 | Where are they all?" |
| 32568 | Where is that one?" |
| 32568 | Where is that which we seek?" |
| 32568 | Who are ye to shut your ears to his` word''?" |
| 32568 | Who are you getting at, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Who is your chief?" |
| 32568 | Who might you be when you''re at home?" |
| 32568 | Who talks of_ muti_? |
| 32568 | Who''s he? |
| 32568 | Who''s to know? |
| 32568 | Why do not the white people get him to find Nyamaki?" |
| 32568 | Why had I not been near them for so long, especially as I was about to go away for quite a considerable time, and so forth? |
| 32568 | Why not?" |
| 32568 | Why should n''t I be allowed to make interesting investigations if I have a mind to? |
| 32568 | Why should they want me-- urgently or otherwise? |
| 32568 | Why then, was not that tolerated too? |
| 32568 | Why was she? |
| 32568 | Why we''ve swum here often enough, have n''t we?" |
| 32568 | Why, what''s become of him?" |
| 32568 | Why? |
| 32568 | Why? |
| 32568 | Why? |
| 32568 | Why?" |
| 32568 | Will he return, Tyingoza?" |
| 32568 | Will that satisfy you?" |
| 32568 | Will they not soon become tired of this, and go elsewhere?" |
| 32568 | With you? |
| 32568 | Wo n''t she just?" |
| 32568 | Would I help her? |
| 32568 | Would I if I could? |
| 32568 | Would I not keep him? |
| 32568 | Would he? |
| 32568 | Would we certainly be on the road by Wednesday, and was there anything he could do, and so forth? |
| 32568 | Would you like to talk to him, Glanton? |
| 32568 | Yes, what the devil''s the good of you? |
| 32568 | Yes-- but where? |
| 32568 | Yet for him, I felt pity, as one led away, and-- was not he the son of my old friend? |
| 32568 | Yet was not the thing absurd? |
| 32568 | Yet, Iqalaqala, may it not be that those with whom you last saw the dog may have sold him?" |
| 32568 | Yet, again-- why not? |
| 32568 | Yet, now you make light of this one?" |
| 32568 | Yet-- was Falkner such"a mere boy"after all? |
| 32568 | You did not go home that night, Iqalaqala?" |
| 32568 | You do n''t mind my saying this?" |
| 32568 | You girls coming?" |
| 32568 | You know this witch doctor chap, Ukozi?" |
| 32568 | You must have seen some strange things in the course of your experience among these people, Mr Glanton? |
| 32568 | You remember what we found in Majendwa''s country? |
| 32568 | You want to earn the cattle which I shall give as a reward?" |
| 32568 | You were there then? |
| 32568 | You will help me, wo n''t you, Mr Glanton?" |
| 32568 | You wo n''t? |
| 32568 | You''ll stay the night of course?" |
| 32568 | You''ll stop and have some scoff of course-- you too, sergeant?" |
| 32568 | You''re never going to leave that there?" |
| 32568 | You''re not in a funk of anything, are you, Glanton? |
| 32568 | You?" |
| 32568 | ` Why had I run away?'' |
| 32568 | is it not ever so in life? |
| 32568 | it was Kendrew, I made out as he came nearer, but-- what the devil was Kendrew in such a cast- iron, splitting hurry about? |
| 32568 | nearly to the bottom?" |
| 32568 | repeated the white man, with a scowl as though the very name was unpalatable to him-- and, indeed, it was--"Majendwa? |
