584The next time she went to the sitting- room she asked her mother,--"Why does not Aunt Abby visit James as she has done?
584Turning to her husband, she asked,"Will you sit still, there, and hear that black nigger call Mary a liar?"

35045A letter, Flora?
35045Are the major and Mrs. Benson going to live with you?
35045Are you going back?
35045Are you? 35045 Are you?"
35045But how can I?
35045But what am I to do with the potato?
35045But what else was there for me to do? 35045 But what have you put it in there for?"
35045But, how do you know all that?
35045Can I get you anything, aunt?
35045Can you not guess?
35045Did ever returned prodigal receive a more hearty welcome than I?
35045Did n''t you, Hal?
35045Do you mean the wedding?
35045Do you mean to come here to live?
35045Do you really think so?
35045Do?
35045Does he come here often?
35045Father? 35045 Flora, will you lend me that paper?"
35045Have I been false to my trust?
35045How about Lottie''s father?
35045How about Lottie?
35045How are you to help me, if I do n''t tell you just what I think and feel?
35045How could that be?
35045How did you know?
35045How did you know?
35045How would you have had things, if you could have had your way?
35045I can not leave my stall-- who would wait on my customers?
35045I suppose you were pretty angry with me, when you went?
35045I was right, was I not, Harry?
35045In Brinton, perhaps?
35045In the first place, Aunt Emmeline,said Joel, calmly,"I suppose you know me?"
35045Is Ruth your daughter?
35045Is it possible that you have left your poor, sick aunt all alone?
35045Is it? 35045 Is my sister here?"
35045Is that so? 35045 Is that so?
35045It seems so strange that both your brother and mine should be returned runaways, does n''t it, Flora?
35045It''s well that it is agreeable to all; but suppose it was n''t? 35045 Jem?
35045Live here? 35045 Lottie Piper, is this you?"
35045May I draw up the shades, Aunt Sarah?
35045Maybe to see your old friend?
35045Me? 35045 Never?"
35045No,said Flora,"I did not, nor did I know you were so ill. And now tell me, can I do anything to render you more comfortable?"
35045Nothing? 35045 Now, Jem,"went on Flora, argumentatively,"suppose we did have all the fine things you named, how much happier would that make us all?"
35045Now, Major Joe,she exclaimed, softly, for fear of disturbing the sick man,"whom does this little sobersides remind you of?"
35045Oh, Flora, are you sure? 35045 Oh, I guess I had better go and see her; had n''t I?"
35045Oh, Joel, what made you so?
35045Oh, Lottie, how could you?
35045Oh, Lottie, who is it? 35045 Oh, but_ have_ you tried yet?"
35045Oh, do you mean Joel Piper?
35045Oh, you could n''t?
35045Oh,commented Flora to herself,"why_ should_ he talk so straight at me?
35045One class is in need of a teacher,he said;"will you not take it?
35045Really? 35045 Ruth, you''re not going to leave me, are you?"
35045Shall I tell you?
35045Shall we go, mother?
35045So I am a girl,answered Jem, indignantly;"do n''t you see I''ve gut a napron on wif pockets in?"
35045Sorry for me? 35045 Steal?"
35045Surely you''re not afraid to trust us, are you?
35045The doctor does not think he will die, does he?
35045The old proverb,''a friend in need is a friend indeed,''is true, is n''t it?
35045To me?
35045To you? 35045 Truly,"she thought,"that peace has entered my soul, and how can I have aught but''good will to men''?"
35045Try to go to sleep now, wo n''t you?
35045Was n''t he always that?
35045Was n''t, or is n''t, your grandfather named Joseph Benson?
35045Well, Flora dear; what will you do about it?
35045Well, Jemima, what do you want in here?
35045Well, and who are you? 35045 Well, friend, how goes the world with you?"
35045What a cute little girl Jem is,said Flora to Ruth;"is she your sister?"
35045What about? 35045 What are they?"
35045What are you going to do?
35045What can_ you_ do?
35045What do you intend to do? 35045 What do you want to ride to Major Joe''s for?"
35045What does the dear boy say-- anything of importance?
35045What has all this to do with me?
35045What have I been thinking about not to have been doing this before? 35045 What have you done, Aunt Sarah?"
35045What is it you mean, my boy?
35045What is it?
35045What is that in the jar?
35045What is your name?
35045What is yours?
35045What of it?
35045What on earth do you want with a whole house?
35045What was your mother''s name?
35045What would you say if I told you we had found somebody who belongs to you?
35045What? 35045 What?
35045What?
35045What?
35045Where did you come from? 35045 Where is father, Lottie?"
35045Where is my father?
35045Who can it be?
35045Who is she? 35045 Who is this?"
35045Who is writing to you, dear?
35045Who keeps house for you?
35045Who told you I had a mother?
35045Why do n''t you come in and shut the door?
35045Why do you want to know?
35045Why not, may I ask?
35045Why? 35045 Will it grow?"
35045Will you not tell me what you are reading?
35045Would you like to see him again?
35045Would you not like to come with us to church, this morning?
35045Yes, Joseph Major Benson; but how did you know?
35045Yes, but what was her last name?
35045You do? 35045 You do?
35045You mean a''begonia,''do n''t you, Jem?
35045''I''m sorry,''said I,''but who is your friend?''
35045''That''s my sister,''said I;''do you know her?''
35045And Flora?
35045And suppose your mother is not here, do n''t you think she knows all about it?
35045And what had become of Harry Hazeley in all this time?
35045Are you both ready?
35045Are you going to live here all alone?"
35045Are you sure?
35045At length, as they took no notice of her, she determined to assert herself; so, going up to Flora, she demanded:"What do you think of_ my_ yard?"
35045Aunt Bertha was her confidante for all her plans, or rather, dreams; she could do nothing without Aunt Bertha, for had not she the means?
35045But Joel seemed to understand all about the matter, and began right away:"You''ve had a rough time, eh?
35045But mother----""Did n''t you know?
35045But suppose I had run away, when things were dark and discouraging, would I now have anything to be happy over?"
35045But tell me, Harry, where have you been, and why did you not write to us, and keep us posted?"
35045But tell me, what will be best to do?"
35045But what did all this arguing amount to?
35045But what is the good of thinking about these things?
35045But what will my aunt say?
35045But, let me see,"he added, turning to the clock,"what time is it?
35045But, suppose she will not have me back again; what then?"
35045But, you know who helped me bear them, do n''t you, Lottie dear?"
35045Could you not put a newspaper under you to catch the cuttings, another time?"
35045Did n''t expect it, now, did you, when you started out?
35045Do you know?"
35045Flora,"she added, an instant later, as she glanced at the window,"is n''t that a potato in that jar?"
35045Give up your situation here for good, or just ask for leave of absence?"
35045Going to have a good time, enjoy yourself, and all that?
35045Have n''t been getting along so well lately, I guess?"
35045Have you?"
35045He was interrupted by Flora''s inquiry:"Why widows especially?"
35045He was the first to ask, however,"Have n''t I met you before?"
35045Hearing a noise at the fence, she turned, and recognizing Flora, smiled and asked:"Wo n''t you come in?"
35045Here, you Jacob, git up, will you?"
35045How are you?"
35045How many homes has he ruined, and hearts broken, and hopes destroyed?
35045How many noble men has Satan conquered and then cast off?
35045How old are you, Ruth?"
35045How?
35045I said,''Yes; did you want to get on?''
35045I wonder why?"
35045Is n''t it tasteful?
35045Must she die?
35045Not my brother Joel?"
35045Not your mother?"
35045Now that he was there, what should he say?
35045Shall I read it?"
35045Suppose it meant the loss of his soul as well?
35045Suppose the money had been left in trust to Flora?
35045The very same?"
35045They do n''t care about making improvements, and buying or speculating as a general thing, like----""Like what?"
35045They left Flora at her door, Ruth asking if she had enjoyed the service, and added:"Will you not come to Sunday- school with us this afternoon?"
35045True, he went down pretty far, and his rescue was effected by rather severe means; but what mattered that, so he was saved?
35045Was it suddenly?"
35045Was not the money Mrs. Graham''s to do with as she pleased?
35045We mean to try and live right-- don''t we, Alec?"
35045What are you doing here?"
35045What can I do about that?"
35045What could I do without you?"
35045What do you think of this?"
35045What does it all mean?"
35045What encouragement is there for a girl in my place to try to do right?"
35045What is it to you, anyway?"
35045What is the difference?
35045What is the matter?
35045What is to become of you when you are called to lay aside the possessions you are striving so hard to get?"
35045What next?"
35045What was she going to do?
35045What will you do?"
35045When was he taken ill?
35045Where does your aunt live?
35045Where had he gone and what would he do?
35045Where was his judgment?
35045Where was she going?
35045Where?"
35045Why ca n''t she come too?"
35045Why not read it, and see?"
35045Why should she?
35045Why?"
35045Will you not come back to it?"
35045Will you turn your head away when you feel it snap, and find yourself dying, with nothing to hold on to, I wonder?"
35045With whom?"
35045Would Esther have done more than I have done?
35045You did n''t suppose I was pretending, did you?"
35045You''d like to turn right about face now, and go back to your mother, perhaps?"
35045and what do you mean by coming in here that way?"
35045go back to Aunt Emmeline?"
35045said Flora;"but could n''t you go to see her?"
472Am I glad to see you? 472 An''I s''pose you''re happy, John?"
472An''who''s it from?
472And are you glad to see me, mother?
472And can I learn to be a lawyer, sir?
472And have children?
472And now, darling,pleaded Tryon,"will you not fix the day that shall make me happy?
472And now, my dear George,exclaimed the doctor,"to change one good subject for another, tell us who is the favored lady?"
472And what about our mother?
472And where are you staying, my dear?
472And you are visiting your mother?
472And you married into a good family?
472Anything wanted, Dave?
472Are you really colored?
472Are you sure you do n''t care, mamma?
472But would he marry me if he knew?
472Ca n''t I go ter town fer you atter I''ve seed her home, Mars Geo''ge?
472Can we not love each other for a while?
472Can you read writin''?
472Can you tell me anything about Judge Straight''s office hours?
472Can you tell me who lives there?
472Did he have on a linen duster?
472Did you ask when he''d be back?
472Did your people lose any niggers?
472Did your wife leave any kin?
472Do you mean ter''low that she wuz changed in her cradle, er is she too good- lookin''to be my daughter?
472Do you see this fifty- cent piece?
472Do you think I''m competent to teach the school?
472Does Mis''Molly Walden live here?
472Does she go to church or anywhere else with Jeff Wain, Plato?
472Does-- does you mean ter say, Mis''Walden, dat-- dat dis young lady is yo''own daughter?
472Fergot him? 472 Frank,"she asked,"can I git you to do somethin''fer me soon in the mo''nin''?"
472George,she cried, in melting tones,"dear George, do you love me?
472Gone where? 472 Gone where?"
472Has any search been made for her?
472Hello, Plato,called Tryon,"do you want a lift?"
472Hello, Plato,replied the young man,"what are you doing here?"
472How do you do?
472How long have these weighty thoughts been troubling your small head?
472How much do you love me?
472How should I know anything about''em?
472I think we ought to ask him to stay with us while he is in town, do n''t you?
472I wonder if that wuz him?
472I wonder who dat is?
472If he found her out, would he by any possibility marry her?
472Is Miss Rena here?
472Is he married?
472Is he married?
472Is he sick, or in trouble?
472Is he well off, Ed?
472Is she gwine fur?
472Is she tall and fair, and dignified and stately?
472Is that you, Frank?
472Is the doctor in?
472Is there anything the matter with him?
472Is your teacher white?
472John Walden?--Walden?
472Let me see-- you went away a few years before the war, was n''t it?
472Look a- here, nigger, what are you doin''with this white woman?
472Me, Mars Geo''ge?
472Mis''''Liza who?
472Miss Rena,said Plato to her on Tuesday,"ai n''t it''bout time I wuz gwine home wid you ag''in?"
472My dear sister,he replied,"why should he know?
472Plato,remarked Tryon impressively, as they drove into the town,"do you think you could keep a secret?"
472Rena, darling,said her lover,"when shall it be?
472Rena,asked her mother,"how''d you like to go an''pay yo''r brother John a visit?
472Sho''ly, Miss Rena, you''re gwine ter honah me wid one dance? 472 That is yours, is n''t it?"
472Then I need not be black?
472Then the message comes through you from somebody else?
472There''s a man here, doctor, who''s been taken suddenly ill. Can you come in a minute?
472Very well; would you not be willing, for his sake, to keep a secret-- your secret and mine, and that of the innocent child in your arms? 472 W''at is it, Mis''Molly?"
472Was there some one here?
472Wat you callin''dat w''ite man marster fur?
472Well, Cousin Molly,said Mary B. to Mis''Molly in the kitchen,"how does the plan strike you?"
472Well, Plato, what news?
472Well, Plato,he asked,"why are you absent from the classic shades of the academy to- day?"
472Well, Rena, dear,he asked with a smile,"what''s the matter?
472What Walden can that be? 472 What did he say?"
472What is the matter, George, dear?
472What would be the use?
472When did you last see my son?
472Where are you goin''with her?
472Who could have dreamed that she would blossom out like that? 472 Who is he, John?"
472Who is the lady, Tryon?
472Who was the lady, Plato?
472Who''s dead?
472Who''s it fur?
472Who''s there?
472Why are you not at school to- day?
472Why should n''t it be the other way, if the white blood is so much superior?
472Why, indeed, should he not be a lawyer, or anything else that a man might be, if it be in him?
472Why?
472Will he or will he not?
472Would he have loved me at all,she asked herself,"if he had known the story of my past?
472Yes, George?
472You ai n''t gwine ter be gone long, is you, Miss Rena?
472You are aware, of course, that you are a negro?
472You do n''t think, Frank,asked Rena severely,"that I would leave my mother and my home and all my friends, and NEVER come back again?"
472You love your children, mother?
472You''ve got a child?
472You''ve got a message from my son, you say?
472''Bout w''at time shill I come over?"
472And what would I do with a mule, anyhow?
472And you ARE a gentleman now, John, ai n''t you-- sure enough?
472Are you staying long?"
472At what time shall I call for Miss Warwick this evening?
472But as I was saying, this girl is a beauty; I reckon we might guess where she got some of it, eh, Judge?
472But had he not aided in his own deception?
472But perhaps there''s a loadstone in South Carolina to draw you back?
472But to which of the two men, and to what end?
472But we''ll spare you if you''ll answer one question-- is it serious?"
472But what assurance was there that Frank would always be discreet about the affairs of others?
472But where is Rena?
472But would he not see Rena in her best attire, and might she not perhaps, in passing, speak a word to him?
472But would her lover still love her, if he knew all?
472Could he still have held her in love and honor?
472Could she have divined his thought?
472Did you ever hear of the Dred Scott decision, delivered by the great, wise, and learned Judge Taney?"
472Do n''t you think, if you should go part of the way, that I might take your place for the rest, while you did my errand?"
472Do you belong in town?"
472Do you imagine he would be any happier than he is now, or than if he should never know?"
472Do you know where she lives-- down on Front Street, in the house behind the cedars?"
472Do you remember how you cried when I went away?"
472Do you remember my wife thirty years ago, judge?"
472Do you-- love me?"
472Does n''t such a course seem just the least bit selfish?
472For after all, they argued, in spite of her airs and graces, her white face and her fine clothes, was she not a negro, even as themselves?
472Had God ordained the crime that the punishment might follow?
472Had not Rena compared herself to the child''s nurse, and had he not assured her that if she were the nurse, he would marry her next day?
472Had not Warwick told him distinctly that they were of no family, and was it not his own fault that he had not followed up the clue thus given him?
472Had not the Witch of Endor called up the shade of Samuel the prophet?
472Had not the spirit of Mis''Molly''s dead son appeared to her, as well as the ghostly presence of another she had loved?
472He could scarcely call at her boarding- place,--what possible proper excuse could a young white man have for visiting a colored woman?
472How had he been so blind as not to have read long ago the character of this wretched girl who had bewitched him?
472How is that for a pedigree?
472How many others of his friends would do the same, if they but knew of it?
472How much do you love me?
472How was he to imagine that persons of their appearance and pretensions were tainted with negro blood?
472How would you like to lose yo''r one child?"
472I wonder ef she''d know me er speak ter me ef she seed me?
472I wonder w''at dat man''s gwine ter do wid her handkercher?
472I wonder who the other is, and what was the trouble?"
472I wonder,"he mused,"if he will find her out?"
472If a man is noble and brave and strong, if a woman is beautiful and good and true, what matters it about his or her ancestry?
472If he had married Rena in ignorance of her secret, and had learned it afterwards, would he have put her aside?
472If not, could he have given her the outward seeming of affection, or could he have been more than coldly tolerant?
472If she had met misfortune before, what were her prospects for happiness now?
472Is there anything you want-- money, or what?
472Is you got a roasted''tater you could gimme, ma''m?"
472Kin I ride wid you?"
472Miss Leary had no doubt that there was a woman at the bottom of it,--for about what else should youth worry but love?
472No doubt that seems to you a long time, young gentleman?"
472No?
472Nobody knows the old story?"
472Or, having loved me, could he blame me now for what I can not help?"
472Sacrifices must be made, but if the world without love would be nothing, then why not give up the world for love?
472Shall I fetch''i m?"
472So one of old Duncan McSwayne''s notes went so far as that?
472Suppose he had married me and then had found it out?"
472The flower would soon be his; why should he care to dig up the soil in which it grew?
472The sound that came from them seemed to be:--"Is Dr. Green in?
472The spirit of a thing, after all, is what counts; and what is lacking here?
472There are the dear old books: have they been read since I went away?"
472W''at wuz dat you say?"
472Wain''s?"
472Wain?"
472Was it the name, or some subtle resemblance in speech or feature, that recalled Tryon''s image to Rena''s mind?
472What ails the girl?"
472What do you mean?"
472What horrible fate was it that had involved him-- nay, that had caught this sweet delicate girl in such a blind alley?
472What is it, Dave?"
472What is your father''s name?"
472What is your name, child, and where were you brought up?
472What should she do?
472What would I do in Clarence now?
472What''s yo''r business?"
472When shall it be?
472Wherein lay the great superiority of his position, if he was denied the right to speak to the one person in the world whom he most cared to address?
472Who else could comfort you so well as she?"
472Who has not known some even- tempered old man or woman who seemed to have drunk of the fountain of youth?
472Who has not seen somewhere an old town that, having long since ceased to grow, yet held its own without perceptible decline?
472Who the devil are you, sir, that wish so strange a thing as to become a lawyer-- everybody''s servant?"
472Why not speak to her now, and thus give himself the best possible protection against stray flames of love?
472Why not?"
472Why should I seek the society of people whose friendship-- and love-- one little word can turn to scorn?
472Why should he, by revealing his presence, sow the seeds of doubt or distrust in the garden of her happiness?
472Why, of all created beings, should this particular woman be chosen to teach the colored school at Sandy Run?
472Will you be able to look over them to- day?
472Will you go with me?"
472Will you not grant me one interview?
472Will you stay with the ladies awhile, or go back down town with me?"
472Will you wait for me here, George, or will you drive down to the office?
472Wo n''t you set down in de private office an''wait fer''i m, suh?"
472Would God have made hearts to so yearn for one another if He had meant them to stay forever apart?
472Would he love me, if he knew?"
472Would the girl, denied marriage, accept anything less?
472Would the young man''s love turn to disgust and repulsion, or would it merely sink from the level of worship to that of desire?
472Would you involve all of us in difficulties merely to secure your own peace of mind?
472Would you mind driving her over?
472Would- be- lawyer?"
472You know who I mean, do n''t you, judge?"
472You love him, I imagine, and wish to make him happy?"
472and how have you been getting along?"
472and since the slaves had been freed, was not one negro as good as another?
472do n''t you know me?"
472exclaimed Dr. Green vivaciously,"insult our town by staying only one day?
472exclaimed his neighbor, with a well- simulated air of mystification,"what are you talkin''about?"
472exclaimed the stranger,"who''ve you got there?"
472he exclaimed suddenly, striking his knee with his hand,"why should n''t I run up to Patesville while Rena''s gone?
472or if one''s love affairs run smoothly, why should one worry about anything at all?
472she exclaimed weakly,"what is it?"
472she inquired with interest?
472she moaned,"what shall I do with out her?
16741''Ah ma''am,''said Lucy,''what shall I do now she is gone? 16741 ''But do n''t the laws protect them?''
16741''But what induced him, Lucy, to do such a wicked thing?'' 16741 ''But what induced you?''
16741''But what made you get a black one,''said Harriet,''why did you not get a dark green or a brown one?'' 16741 ''For a horse and chaise, all day?''
16741''Lor, ma''am, do you think I cared for that? 16741 ''Lucy,''I said,''when was that placed there?''
16741''Miss Ellen,''says I,''as sure as there''s a God in heaven you are Mr. Lee''s wife, and why do n''t you say so, and stand up for yourself? 16741 ''Oh, master,''said Simon,''wo n''t you take me back?
16741''The deacon did not even give me a nod until he had scrutinized the condition of the horse and chaise, and then he said,''How are you?'' 16741 ''Well, Mrs. Brown,''said Arthur, for I was looking in the glass cases and under the counter for the pretty face,''have you any rusk?''
16741''What do you mean?'' 16741 ''What is it, Miss Ellen?''
16741''Where on earth has she put that cake?'' 16741 ''Where''s that''lection cake I told you to bring here?''
16741''Why do n''t you make the boy clothes enough, Julia?'' 16741 ''Will you give us some, and some cakes, or whatever you have?
16741''Yes, Miss Janet, but if God give me a better life, shall I not esteem it a greater blessing? 16741 A great many of your slaves run away through the year, do n''t they?"
16741Ai nt you ashamed to talk so about Miss Alice, when she''s always coming to you, bringing you something, and trying to do something for you?
16741Alice, I charge you, as in the presence of God, to tell me truly: do you love Walter Lee?
16741Alice, what is the matter?
16741And are they such trouble to you, Arthur?
16741And did you think I was going to steal besides running off from her and the poor baby?
16741And how did they get them?
16741And if such laws do exist,said Arthur,"where is the cause?
16741Any thing the matter, Bacchus?
16741Are you ill?
16741Are you not a runaway?
16741Are you talking of gloom?
16741Art thou,said Paul,"called being a slave?
16741Barbecue or campmeeting, Bacchus?
16741Besides, Abel,continued Arthur,"what right have you to interfere?
16741But am I one of the beloved?
16741But can you advocate the enslaving of your fellow man?
16741But how can I write to Arthur, when I know I am not treating him as I would wish him to treat me?
16741But is not Walter our equal?
16741But suppose he does not know how to do so,said Mrs. Moore,"what then?
16741But that was doing very well,said Alice;"do n''t you think so, Aunt Phillis?
16741But you love me, Alice; and will you see me go from you forever, without hope? 16741 But you must remember the_ spirit of the age_, Arthur, as Mr. Hubbard calls it?"
16741But, do your laws always secure you from ill- treatment?
16741But, my dear,said he,"do you think it right to give such things in charge of a servant?"
16741Ca n''t you experiment upon us, Arthur; test us chemically?
16741Can it be possible?
16741Children,said Miss Janet-- for she had gently approached them--"do you know when and where happiness is to be found?
16741Come back here,said Phillis,"you real cornfield nigger; you goin there naked?"
16741Come in, child,said she,"and warm yourself; how is your cough?
16741Could he die agin, Miss Janet?
16741Dead, what do you mean?
16741Dear Alice,said Ellen, fixing her large dark eyes on her;"how can I ever be grateful enough to you?"
16741Did God make de nanny- goats, too?
16741Did Lucy ever hear of her children?
16741Did n''t he though? 16741 Did you bring Lucy home with you, Cousin Janet?"
16741Did you ever hear de like?
16741Did you hear what Cousin Janet said to Lydia, to- night, mother? 16741 Do n''t you hear the wind?"
16741Do n''t you know your duty better than to be interfering in the concerns of these people? 16741 Do n''t you want some needles,"he said,"or a waist ribbon, or some candy?
16741Do you not see me before you, Peggy?
16741Do you think that the African slave- trade can be defended?
16741Does you hear that, master?
16741For what?
16741From whom did you get them?
16741Had I not better wake the doctor?
16741Have they come again, too?
16741Have we not always been as brother and sister?
16741Have you any more orders to give, sir? 16741 Have you had a pleasant ride?"
16741Have you tried it on?
16741He is what?
16741High,said Phillis;"where''s the sore foot you had this morning?"
16741How did you get here?
16741How is her pulse?
16741How is yer health dis evenin, master? 16741 How is your grandmother, child?"
16741How is your mother, Bacchus?
16741I do n''t want any thing, Willie; but will you be sure to return to- night? 16741 I hope you will not be angry with me, master?"
16741I reckon you''re sick, Aunt Peggy,said Phillis;"why did n''t you let me know you was n''t well?"
16741In what respect? 16741 In what sense?"
16741Is anything the matter at home, Anna?
16741Is it failing?
16741Is it the same? 16741 Is that your gratitude,"was the indignant reply,"for all that we''ve done for you?
16741Is this you, Phillis?
16741Is you got de headache now, Miss Alice?
16741Its an improvement, honey,said Phillis;"but what''s the use of getting drunk at all?
16741Mammy, she''s well,said the young gentleman;"how''s you, master?"
16741Miss Janet,said Lydia, speaking very softly,"who made de lightning- bugs?"
16741Miss Janet,said Lydia,"ai nt Miss Alice white?"
16741Mother,said Esther,"will you take this medicine-- it is time?"
16741Nancy,she said,"did n''t you think it was strange your grandmother slept so quiet, and laid so late this morning?
16741No-- no-- foolish child; what gives you such ideas?
16741Nonsense,said Arthur,"do n''t you think I can judge for myself, as regards that?
16741Not when she was''live?
16741Of whom are you speaking?
16741Oh, Mr. William, is it you?
16741Oh, mammy,she said to her attendant, for she had always thus affectionately addressed her;"did you ever see any one as handsome as Willie?"
16741On the bridge,said William, laughing;"did you think I was going to jump my horse across?"
16741Phillis, you do n''t mean me to wear dis here to meetin? 16741 Phillis,"said Bacchus, appealingly,"you ai nt much used to jokin, and I know you would n''t tell an ontruth; what do you mean?"
16741Phillis,said he,"do you b''lieve in sperrits?"
16741Robert,said Esther,"you''re a born fool; do you mean to say you want me to marry you?"
16741Sarah,he said, and she looked up as before, without any doubt, in his open countenance,"are you a good worker?"
16741Then if it is not your country, for what reason do you concern yourself so much about its affairs?
16741Think I did n''t see her yesterday? 16741 Time old people were in bed, Aunt Peggy,"said she;"what are you settin up for, all by yourself?"
16741To_ your_ heart? 16741 Was Washington a cheerful man?"
16741Well, Bacchus?
16741Well, but what shall I do?
16741Well, of course you are a great deal happier now than when you were a slave?
16741Well, what does it mean?
16741Well,said Abel,"how can you defend your right to hold slaves as property in the United States?"
16741Well,said Mr. Weston,"what did he say?"
16741What can I do?
16741What could you do?
16741What do you mean by that? 16741 What do you say such a foolish thing as that for, Lydia?"
16741What do you think is the meaning of the text''Cursed be Canaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren,''Hubbard?
16741What does he do with it?
16741What have I to forgive? 16741 What induced you to run away?
16741What is here?
16741What is it about, Arthur,said Abel Johnson,"it is too hot to read this morning, so pray enlighten me?"
16741What is it, Alice?
16741What is it, master?
16741What is that large vault open to- day for?
16741What is the matter, Bacchus?
16741What is the woman''s name, Bacchus?
16741What makes her so white?
16741What makes you think so?
16741What put such a dreadful thought into your head, child?
16741What they going to laugh at me about?
16741What was to fall?
16741What would be done with the slaves in the mean time?
16741What you doin here?
16741What''ll I have? 16741 What''ll you have, Jake?"
16741What''s come over you?
16741What_ is_ the matter?
16741When people are dead they do n''t hear nothin; where''s the harm?
16741When?
16741Where are the little girls?
16741Where is Martha?
16741Where shall you go first?
16741Who brought this paper into my room?
16741Who cares for tar and feathers?
16741Who is there?
16741Who says I was ever tired of her? 16741 Who will say what God intends to do?
16741Who would have thought she could have made so wise a will? 16741 Who''s I got to set up wid me?"
16741Whose can they be?
16741Why did not Walter come in?
16741Why did you do so? 16741 Why do n''t you go to bed, then?"
16741Why do you not_ take_ your freedom?
16741Why think of that now, my love?
16741Why, Jupiter,said Phillis,"is this you?
16741Why, how are you going to cross Willow''s Creek?
16741Why, how,said she, as Bacchus, in a most cramped condition endeavored to raise himself,"did the lid fall on you?"
16741Why, lord a massy,said he,"Phillis, what do you call dis here?
16741Why, whar''s the ruffles?
16741Why, what a fool you be,said one of the men;"Did n''t I tell you to bring your mistress''purse along?"
16741Why, what on earth?
16741Will any body listen to the boy? 16741 Will you have any thing, sir?"
16741Would I, sir? 16741 Would n''t he be a good subject for tar and feathers, Arthur?
16741Yes, I am; but why do you ask me?
16741You ai n''t in earnest, Esther?
16741You are Abolitionists, I''spose?
16741You are afraid of the night air, Cousin Janet?
16741You are not in love with him now, are you, Alice?
16741You call it a misfortune, do you, Bacchus?
16741You do n''t think, then,said Mr. Hubbard, argumentatively,"that God''s curse is on slavery, do you?"
16741You never liked him, Anna,said Mr. Weston;"why was it?"
16741You, with your smooth cheeks and bright eyes, may well think of passing a winter in Washington; but what should I do there? 16741 [ A] Although she is here speaking of slavery_ politically_, can you not apply it to matrimony in this miserable country of ours?
16741''And where is Abednego?''
16741''Are they all dead?''
16741''Father,''said he, scarcely waiting until the sentence that General Washington was uttering, was finished,''what do you think?
16741''Is it possible that they are gone, and I am no longer to be plagued with them?
16741''Well, what has become of them?''

16741Again Lydia spoke,"If I was to stay all time in de house, and never go in de sun, would I git white?"
16741Alice, darling, is your head better?"
16741Am I not a daughter of the Old Dominion, a member of one of the F.F.V''s?
16741And Arthur, can it be right for me to be engaged to him, and to deceive him, too?"
16741And have I not a right to insist, for my native State, upon all that truth will permit?
16741And what did they say to the slavery that existed then and had been entailed upon them by the English government?
16741And what to thee, thou faithful servant?
16741And who can read the history of the world and say this curse has not existed ever since it was uttered?
16741And, finally, she was desired to open her mouth, that they might see whether her teeth had been extracted to sell to the dentist?"
16741Anna, did you send for the doctor?"
16741Are are all my tears and prayers to fail?
16741Are not all these curses recorded, and will they not all be fulfilled?
16741As she looked into Mr. Weston''s grieved and honest face, the question suggested itself,--Is it right thus, to keep him in ignorance?
16741As to"Whether she had been born a slave, or had been kidnapped?
16741Ask mammy if I ai nt?"
16741But a bitter smile passed over his countenance, and in a stern voice he said,"And you, Alice, what are you to do?"
16741But does this curse authorize the slave- trade?
16741But how can that man be loved who has put away his wife from him, because he is tired of her?
16741But what is this, coming along the side- walk?"
16741But what was she now?
16741But why do n''t the Abolitionists buy our slaves, and send them to Liberia?"
16741But, Phillis, have you no wishes to express, as regards your children?"
16741But, what will the Abolitionist say to this scene?
16741Can anybody fail to make the inference, what the practical result will be?
16741Can it be that in this case the wise Creator will visit the sins of the father upon the child?
16741Can we judge of society by a few isolated incidents?
16741Can we not remodel our husbands, place them under our thumbs, and shut up the escape valves of their grumbling forever?
16741Canst thou change his employments, and elevate his condition?
16741Christian of the North, canst thou emancipate the Southern slave?
16741Could a man capable of such an act deserve the blessing of a just and holy God?
16741Could aught escape_ their_ vigilance?
16741Did Bacchus know it?"
16741Did I heed his advice?
16741Did I not tell you of the time I hired his horse and chaise?
16741Did ever any one hear of a soldier being amiable?
16741Did he condemn the institution which he had made?
16741Did he establish universal freedom?
16741Did it ever occur to her, that Northerners might go South, and buy a great many of these slaves, and manumit them?
16741Did not my father wear crape on his hat at his funeral?
16741Did not my grandfather ride races with General Washington?
16741Did she ever have any thing but sweet potato pealings?
16741Did you ever think of the consequences of such an act?''
16741Do n''t you see all these graves around you?"
16741Do n''t you see how people sneer at you when they see you?''
16741Do you commend that morbid affection which clings to its object not only through sorrow, but sin?
16741Do you see any thing like apprehension?
16741Does not this exhibit the impression of the Jews as regards the character of Ham?
16741Each heart asked itself, When?
16741Except in crossing a corduroy road in the West, where can one hope to be so thoroughly shaken up?
16741For, is a professed gambler better than a common thief?
16741Gradually the chest lid opened a little way, and a sepulchral voice, issuing from it, uttered in a low tone these words:"Phillis, gal, is that you?"
16741Had Christ left it to them to carry out, in this instance, his revealed will?
16741Had she ever been ducked?
16741Had she ever been shut up in a dark cellar and nearly starved?
16741Had the apostles authority to do it away?
16741Had you an unkind master?"
16741Has he in the wide world an enemy who can bring aught against him?
16741Has she heard those cheering words?
16741Has this curse failed or been removed?
16741Have I not often told you that God is a spirit?
16741Have not they been fulfilled?
16741Have you any right to claim for yourself superior holiness?
16741Have you never told Alice her history, cousin?"
16741Have you no children, Lucy?''
16741Have you not pitied him when you reflected that he was alone, far away from such good influences?
16741Have you so little pride?
16741Havn''t I been crossing it these fifty years?
16741He came on an errand of mercy to the world, and he was all powerful to accomplish the Divine intent; but, did he emancipate the slave?
16741Here is one whom he has loved, whose voice he is accustomed to hear; shall he, through neglect or mismanagement, make a void in many hearts?
16741How came you to do that?''
16741How can you stand it?
16741How could such a man die?
16741How could you ask me?"
16741How do you all feel?"
16741How does he fare?
16741How is he to draw the nice line of distinction?
16741How many times a week she had been whipped, and what with?
16741How much did I know of death?
16741I am in a hurry now, tell me what I am to pay you?''
16741I am told you are turned preacher?"
16741I guess you think the rags on your back good wages enough?"
16741I have been anxious for your health, but is there not more cause to fear for your happiness?"
16741I meant, did you not fear His power, who could not only kill your body, but destroy your soul in hell?''
16741I rather think, that you''d think the first stray horse you could find an indication of Providence-- shouldn''t you?"
16741I said to one of them, a large fat negro,''What''s your name, uncle?''
16741In reply to the question,"Are you free?"
16741In the times of the apostles, what do we see?
16741Is he not a curiosity?
16741Is it for my country, or for my party and myself?
16741Is it so?"
16741Is it your wish too?"
16741Is that it, Arthur?"
16741Is there any place in the world like this?"
16741Is there not a charm in it?
16741It has been, that master and slave were friends; and if this can not continue, at whose door will the sin lie?
16741It was dreadful to see her thus agitated; and Alice, throwing her arms around her mother exclaimed,"What is it, dearest mother?
16741It was without any agitation that she asked what was the matter?
16741Johnson?''
16741Lydia said inquiringly,"Was n''t Jesus Christ God, ma''am?"
16741Men of business and mechanics in the land, they know that one who ever defended their interests is gone, and who shall take his place?
16741Miss Alice, ai nt she never told you bout de time she seed an elerphant drink a river dry?"
16741Mr. H. has just returned from a tour in the Southern States, and he is to lecture to- night, wo n''t you go and hear him?"
16741Need I say it was joy when she called me, Mother?
16741Need I say that I was happy when she nestled there?
16741Need he essay to penetrate the future?
16741Now, has there been any law reversing this, except in the States that have become free?
16741Now, is not this infamous?"
16741Now, was not that trading in human bodies and souls in earnest?
16741Perkins?"
16741See any little graves thar?
16741Shall he, from want of skill, bring weeping and desolation to a house where health and joy have been?
16741She asks the question,"_ What_ can any individual do?"
16741She sighed and continued,"Am I not deceiving the kind protector and friend of my childhood?
16741She was not for him; and why should he not seek, as others had done, to drown all care?
16741She''s got a pleasant voice, has n''t she, sir?
16741Shut down the window, Miss Ellen, do n''t you feel the wind?
16741So, ma''am, if God died onct, could n''t he die agin?"
16741The day when there was a tie between master and slave,--is that departing, and why?
16741The young men laughed, and Arthur said"What will he do with his money?
16741There is one thing concerning death in which we are apt to be sceptical, and that is,"Does he want me?"
16741There, you''re sneezin; did n''t I tell you so?"
16741This dread crisis past, and what would be the result?
16741This is slavery indeed, and where is the man, come from God, who will show us a remedy?
16741Tom evidently considers himself as too good for this world; and after making these proposals to his master, he is asked,"How are you?"
16741Walter?"
16741Warn''t dat what you said, sir?''
16741Was she allowed more than one meal a day?
16741Was the dreaded messenger here?
16741Watcher by the couch of suffering, sayest thou so?
16741We may observe his dealings with man, but we may not ask, until he reveals it, Why hast thou thus done?
16741Well may he bare his breast and say, for_ what_ is my voice raised where his has been heard?
16741Well, Mark, I hope the little fellow is getting well?"
16741Were the exertions of the Abolitionists successful, what would be the result?
16741Weston?"
16741What can be the matter with you?
16741What can be the meaning of it?"
16741What do you think about it, Arthur?"
16741What has brought you here?"
16741What has come over you?"
16741What has it been elsewhere?
16741What might it bring forth; joy or endless weeping?
16741What might the short summer bring?
16741What right have you New England people to the farms you are now holding?"
16741What says that vision of languishing and loveliness to the old man whose eyes are fixed in grief upon it?
16741What to him is the love of country, or the memory of Washington?
16741What to thee, oh, mother?
16741What was it a doin?"
16741What was there?
16741What will this gentleman think of me?"
16741When did he die?"
16741When is he comin, any how, sir?"
16741When we are thirsty water is better than any thing else; and when we ai nt thirsty, what''s the use of drinking?"
16741When were thy first thoughts of death?
16741When will stay the tumultuous beatings of their hearts?
16741When will they sleep in the shadow of the old church?
16741When will you set out, and how will you travel?
16741Where are now the hopes of half thy lifetime, where the consummation of all thy anxious plans?
16741Where are such roads to be found?
16741Where is Canaan?"
16741Where is her beauty-- and her grace and talent?
16741Where is that mother?
16741Where were the whip and the cord, and other instruments of torture?
16741Whether she had ever been sold?
16741Which was the blacker, her eyes or her visage; or whiter, her eyeballs or her hair?
16741Who could expect a woman to preserve her composure under such circumstances?
16741Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high?
16741Why are you so still and silent?
16741Why ca n''t you repent?
16741Why did n''t you fry''em a little more?"
16741Why did you not inform me of it, that I might have sent him off?"
16741Why do you judge for him?
16741Why need he recall the past?
16741Why, Bacchus, how come it, you forgot old Jupiter?
16741Why, sir, do you mean to say, that the life of a slave is in the power of a master, and that he is not under the protection of our laws?"
16741Why, you look sober; not regretting Washington already?"
16741Will any one hear her coughin?
16741Will it pass, or will it rest upon thee forever?
16741Will she close thine eyes with her loving hand?
16741Will she drop upon thy breast a daughter''s tear?"
16741Will she perpetuate the name of thy race?
16741Will you not join her there?
16741Will you not taste the sublime joys of faith?
16741Will you promise me you will try to be?"
16741Will you yourself speak the word that sends me forth a wanderer upon the earth?"
16741William?"
16741Would you leave me for Walter, Alice?"
16741Would you like again to see Mr. Caldwell, and receive the communion?"
16741Would you run such a risk?
16741Would you then, sir, destroy the fabric, by undermining the Constitution?
16741[ B] And now, Phillis, are you satisfied?
16741aged woman?
16741and ai nt I up to all its freaks and ways?
16741are you sure?"
16741but does he offer to share in the loss?
16741but what does he do that really advances his interest?
16741daddy, is that you?"
16741have so many years passed away, that thou hast forgotten the bitterness of thy first sorrow, or is it yet to come?
16741have you ever stood by the dying bed of a slave?
16741if your father had been here to have saved him-- but who could have saved him?
16741master,"said Phillis,"what shall I say to you?
16741said Abel,"there is that idiot, with his tongue hanging out of his mouth, across the street: was he born equal with you?"
16741said Aunt Peggy,"that''s all?"
16741said Mr. Weston,"Is Cousin Janet--?"
16741said Mr. Weston,"and do you continue this disputing in my presence?
16741said Mrs. Moore;"you would n''t have me do a thing my husband disapproves of, would you?"
16741said Mrs. Weston,"and Arthur within a few miles of us?
16741said Phillis;"did she sleep well?"
16741said the Northern gentleman,"were niggers allowed to attend Washington''s funeral?"
16741said the astonished woman:"Surely, is that you, Bacchus?"
16741sir,"said Mr. Chapman, the veins in his temples swelling, and his whole frame glowing with vexation,"what is that you say?
16741t''aint a shirt?
16741that her voice was music to my soul, and her smile the very presence of beauty?
16741what?"
16741young ladies,"he continued,"did she rightly use those talents?"
12352A civil war about what?
12352A few have done? 12352 A member of a colored church?
12352After I had finished the hymn,continued Iola,"he looked earnestly and inquiringly into my face, and asked,''Where did you learn that hymn?
12352Ai n''t dey beauties? 12352 Am I so changed?"
12352An''how''s Miss Nancy?
12352And Iola, would she be satisfied?
12352And did n''t you feel sorry for him?
12352And did you really think that they would accept the terms of freedom and lay down their arms?
12352And how,asked Robert,"do you know what I am thinking about?"
12352And is not that a proof that we are at fault with respect to our institutions?
12352And is this your final answer?
12352And is this your settled purpose?
12352And leave you?
12352And what are they, Iola? 12352 And what then?"
12352And what would grandma and Uncle Robert say?
12352And why let politics alone?
12352And yet you saw Miss Leroy do it?
12352And, Aunt Linda, what did you do?
12352Any more,asked Robert,"than the leaders of the Rebellion did the ignorant, poor whites during our late conflict?"
12352Are you in earnest? 12352 As disfranchisement is a punishment for crime, is it just to punish a man before he transgresses the law?"
12352But do n''t the temperance people want the colored people to vote the temperance ticket?
12352But has not society the right to guard the purity of its blood by the rigid exclusion of an alien race?
12352But how came you to be Aunt Linda''s husband? 12352 But how did they get it?"
12352But how is it in the Church?
12352But what right has public opinion to interfere with our marriage relations? 12352 But, Aunt Linda, if old Miss were able to take care of you, would n''t you just as leave be back again?"
12352But, Doctor, what kind of society would we have if we put down the bars and admitted everybody to social equality?
12352But, Iola,said Dr. Gresham, a little impatiently,"what has all this to do with our marriage?
12352But, Robby, ef alcohol''s so bad, w''at made de Lord put it here?
12352But, Uncle Dan''el, you wo n''t say nothin''''bout our going, will you?
12352But, Uncle Daniel, you''re not too old to want your freedom?
12352But, Uncle Daniel,said Robert,"what''s the use of praying for a thing if, when it comes, you wo n''t take it?
12352But, surely, Robert, you do not think religion has degraded the negro?
12352By what authority?
12352By what authority?
12352Can it be possible dat dis is my little Marie?
12352Captain,said Robert, with a tone of bitterness in his voice,"what had we to be grateful for?
12352Compliments aside,she said, smiling;"what are you driving at, Doctor?"
12352Dat''s jis''de way; you see dat, Miss Iola? 12352 Did he do it?"
12352Did he do it?
12352Did n''t he go to the battle?
12352Do n''t she know that her father is dead?
12352Do n''t you know that if she is as fair as a lily, beautiful as a houri, and chaste as ice, that still she is a negro?
12352Do n''t you remember,asked Robert,"that my mother had a little daughter, when Mrs. Johnson sold her?
12352Do n''t you think,asked Dr. Gresham,"that we have been too hasty in our judgment of the negro?
12352Do n''t your preachers do that?
12352Do you ever go to see old Miss?
12352Do you know dis gemmen?
12352Do you know where she learned it?
12352Do you remember my mother?
12352Do you remember where she came from, and who was her mother?
12352Do you think it would make her feel too happy?
12352Do you think she would go with us?
12352Do you think so?
12352Do you think white folks is your bes''friends?
12352Do you think you can get her away?
12352Do you think,asked Iola,"if you saw the likeness of your sister you would recognize her?"
12352Does she take sides against the girl?
12352Does the United States own one foot of African soil? 12352 Does yer''member Miss Nancy''s Harriet,"asked Aunt Linda,"dat she sole away kase she would n''t let her whip her?
12352Does you know dis place?
12352Even if you would n''t go with us when we left?
12352Go to Africa?
12352Good mornin'', Bob; how''s butter dis mornin''?
12352Good morning,said Leroy, rising and advancing towards him;"how is my ward this morning?"
12352Had you a pleasant journey?
12352Has he?
12352Has she any brothers or sisters?
12352Have you seen her yet?
12352How are you both? 12352 How can you get her away?"
12352How did I know yer? 12352 How did he clear up that charge?"
12352How did he come out?
12352How did she come there?
12352How did you get the papers?
12352How did you succeed?
12352How did you yere it?
12352How do you know it is there?
12352How do you like him?
12352How do you think she will take to her situation?
12352How is yer, ole boy?
12352How long,asked Robert,"do you think it has been since they left here?"
12352How should I, Doctor? 12352 How so?"
12352How so?
12352How was that? 12352 How was that?"
12352How will I get there?
12352How will you do it?
12352How will_ you_ go?
12352How would you like to teach?
12352How''s eggs dis mornin''?
12352How,asked Dr. Gresham,"did you like Dr. Latimer''s paper?"
12352In Europe, Aunt Linda? 12352 In good health?"
12352Is dat de way you foun''her?
12352Is dat so?
12352Is dat so?
12352Is it possible? 12352 Is n''t it funny,"said Robert,"how these white folks look down on colored people, an''then mix up with them?"
12352Is she not faithful to her duties and obedient to your directions?
12352Is she young and handsome, brilliant and witty? 12352 Is she?
12352Is that so? 12352 Is that so?
12352Is that so?
12352Is that the way your old man does you?
12352Mamma, what do you think of that? 12352 Marie, what in the world is the matter with you?
12352Marie,said Robert,"how would you like to leave the South?"
12352Mother, are these people Christians who made these laws which are robbing us of our inheritance and reducing us to slavery? 12352 My dear husband, you may be perfectly right, but are you not preparing our children for a fearful awakening?
12352No; is he good at that?
12352Not at present,said Dr. Gresham;"but may I not hope your friendship will ripen into love?"
12352Now, John Salters,exclaimed Aunt Linda,"ai n''t you''shamed ob yourself?
12352Now, Lindy, ai n''t you ready yet? 12352 Now, would n''t dat hab bin smart ter let on ter you chaps, an''hab you huntin''fer it from Dan ter Barsheba?
12352Oh, Iola,she exclaimed, as her daughter entered,"is this you?
12352Oh, Robert,queried Sybil,"how could he be religious and steal?"
12352Oh, Uncle Daniel, why did n''t you tell us boys all about it? 12352 Oh, mother, what can I do?"
12352Perhaps that''s so, but what are you going to do about it?
12352Robby,she continued,"you''member Miss Nancy''s Jinnie?"
12352She is dead, then?
12352So you wish me to try the faith cure?
12352That is true; and I am not counseling you to be selfish; but, Miss Iola, had you not better look out for yourself?
12352That near? 12352 The officer who escaped from prison and got back to our lines?"
12352Uncle Daniel,asked Robert,"are you still preaching?"
12352Was it not a mistake to have kept you ignorant of your colored blood?
12352Was n''t she religious?
12352Well, Aunt Linda, I suppose by this time you know how to read and write?
12352Well, Aunt Linda, do n''t you wish those good old days would come back?
12352Well, Aunt Linda,said Robert, seating himself near her, and drinking the glass of milk which she had handed him,"how goes the battle?
12352Well, Harry, if you want people to wish you much happiness, why do n''t you do as the doctor has done, get yourself a wife?
12352Well, Iola,said her mother,"what is your skill?"
12352Well, Uncle Daniel,said Robert,"what has that got to do with your going with us and getting your freedom?"
12352Well, chillen, what do you mean to do?
12352Well, what should you keer?
12352Well, when did you see the soldiers? 12352 Well,"said Dr. Gresham,"is all excellence summed up in that branch of the human race?"
12352Well,said Thomas Anderson, turning to Uncle Daniel,"we ca n''t count on yer to go wid us?"
12352Well,said Tom, a little impatiently,"what''s yer gwine to do?
12352Well,said Tom,"ef he lob''d you so much, why did n''t he set you free?"
12352Were you afraid of her?
12352Were you aware of the virulence of caste prejudice and the disabilities which surround the colored people when you cast your lot with them?
12352What about them?
12352What are they?
12352What are they?
12352What are your plans for the future, or have you any?
12352What became of him?
12352What became of them?
12352What did Gundover say?
12352What did Mr. Parker say?
12352What did Uncle Job do?
12352What did he mean?
12352What did he say?
12352What did she do?
12352What did they say?
12352What do you think of Miss Iola?
12352What do you think, Doctor,said Iola,"has he fainted?"
12352What do you think,said Robert, turning to Uncle Daniel;"wo n''t you go with us?"
12352What does Iola say?
12352What does it mean? 12352 What else did the generals say?
12352What in the world are you talking about, Lucille?
12352What is it, Iola?
12352What is it, brother mine?
12352What is it? 12352 What is it?"
12352What is it?
12352What is it?
12352What is that?
12352What is the matter with her?
12352What is the matter with you, Eugene? 12352 What is the matter?"
12352What is the object?
12352What kind of a regiment would you prefer, white or colored?
12352What law, mother?
12352What protection does the colored man receive from the hands of the Government? 12352 What under heaven could have possessed you to do such a foolish thing?
12352What was it?
12352What were you saying? 12352 What will he do about it?"
12352What would mamma say?
12352What''s de news?
12352What''s that?
12352What''s the matter now?
12352What''s to hinder your continuing to think?
12352What, Har''yet, and Robby, an''yer ma? 12352 What, then, is your remedy?"
12352What,said Mrs. Johnson, as we shall call Robert''s mother,"hab become ob Miss Nancy''s husband?
12352Where are the rest of the folks?
12352Where did you see''em?
12352Where do you expect to pitch your tent?
12352Where have you been, Doctor? 12352 Where is Tom?"
12352Where is he?
12352Where is she now?
12352Who tainted it?
12352Who tied them?
12352Who was wronged?
12352Who?
12352Why do you go there?
12352Why do you not battle against public opinion, if you think it is wrong?
12352Why not,asked Dr. Latimer,"write a good, strong book which would be helpful to them?
12352Why not?
12352Why not?
12352Why not?
12352Why not?
12352Why so?
12352Why, Aunt Linda, you never saw a circus?
12352Why, Doctor, what is the matter with you? 12352 Why, Dr. Gresham, is this you?"
12352Why, Eugene, what has come over you? 12352 Why, Iola,"asked Robert,"do n''t you believe in young people having a good time?"
12352Why, Uncle Daniel, did you send anybody to kill me?
12352Why, chile, whar did yer come from? 12352 Why, is it possible,"exclaimed Robert, rising, and shaking hands,"that you are Aunt Linda''s husband?"
12352Why, what have I done,asked Dr. Latimer, in a surprised tone,"that you should impale me on your pen?"
12352Why,asked Dr. Latimer,"should any place be assigned to the negro more than to the French, Irish, or German?"
12352Will you accompany me North?
12352Will you not come in?
12352Will you tell me?
12352With whom?
12352Wo n''t yer hab a glass ob milk? 12352 Yes, darling; do you want to see her?"
12352Yes,said Robert;"while politicians are stumbling on the barren mountains of fretful controversy and asking what shall we do with the negro?
12352Yes,said Tom,"who plants de cotton and raises all de crops?"
12352You are surely not going East again, and leave your mother?
12352You had not forgotten me, then?
12352You have been associating with me at the convention for several days; I do not see that the contact has dragged you down, has it?
12352You have been tried in the fire, but are you not better for the crucial test?
12352You never saw Marie?
12352Your cousin Lorraine? 12352 *****How did you enjoy the evening, Marie?"
12352A startled look stole over Iola''s face, and, lifting her eyes to his, she faltered:--"Do you know her?"
12352A woman as white as she a slave?"
12352Above earth''s pain and sorrow Christ''s dying face I see; I hear the cry of anguish:--"Why hast thou forsaken me?"
12352After all, Alf, is there not an amount of unreason in our prejudices?"
12352Ai n''t yer our Bobby?
12352Ai n''t you got''nuff ob ole Marster, an''ole Marster bin cuttin''you up?
12352Ai n''t you men powerful''ceitful?"
12352Ai n''t you mighty tired?
12352Ai n''t you willing?"
12352Am I presumptuous in hoping that your love will become the crowning joy of my life?"
12352An''I says:''Wat makes you think so?"
12352An''dere''s Uncle Job''s wife; why did n''t she go dat way?
12352An''whar is yer stoppin?"
12352An''what do you think?
12352An''wo n''t he be hoppin''mad when he finds I''m a goner?
12352An''you neber hearn tell ob her sence dey sole her to Georgia?"
12352And have we not been investing our blood in the country for ages?"
12352And how did you come to hear them, Tom?"
12352And now I ask, will you not permit me to clasp hands with you for life?
12352And what did they say to you?"
12352And what do you think her cousin said?"
12352And what would they have been without it?"
12352And when you come to look at it, is n''t it a shame to attempt to reduce that girl to slavery?
12352Are they to blame for it?
12352Are you mad?"
12352Are you not acting on the plan,''After me the deluge?''"
12352Are you not satisfied with the power and possession the law gives you?"
12352Are you sure our interests would be safe in his hands?"
12352Are you thinking of taking priest''s orders?"
12352As the law only allows us one, which is your choice?
12352Bimeby Massa oberseer com''d an''axed,"all bin a workin''libely?"
12352But can nothing be done?
12352But did n''t she step her foot inter it?
12352But how many men would be bound by a sense of honor where the rights of a colored woman are in question?
12352But we are in it, and what can we do?"
12352But what could I do wid my wine ef we did n''t drink it?"
12352But who believes any good can come out of the black Nazareth?"
12352But whom_ are_ you going to marry?"
12352But, Doctor, had you not better defer your love- making till you''re out of the woods?"
12352But, what''s to hinder you from gwine wid us?"
12352Ca n''t you pull a trigger as well as a white man?''
12352Can you throw any light on the subject?"
12352Can you?"
12352Could a man choose a better place to die?"
12352Could n''t yer come an''stop wid me, or is n''t my house sniptious''nuff?"
12352Did not the whole nation consent to our abasement?"
12352Did you ever hear him pray?"
12352Did you get married since the war?"
12352Did you know Captain Sellers?"
12352Did you know that Captain Sybil was killed in one of the last battles of the war?
12352Did you see dat nice little cabin down dere wid de green shutters an''nice little garden in front?
12352Do n''t it look nice and clar?
12352Do n''t yer''member him?"
12352Do n''t you feel well?"
12352Do n''t you know if my father were here he would crush you to the earth?"
12352Do n''t you know that these beautiful girls have been the curse of our homes?
12352Do n''t you think that there is a large field of usefulness before him?"
12352Do n''t you think the bride looked lovely, with that dress of spotless white and with those orange blossoms in her hair?"
12352Do n''t you think your life- work will be better done if some one shares it with you?"
12352Do n''t you yere dat singin''?
12352Do n''t you''member dem meetins we used to hab in de woods?
12352Do yo''member Miss Nancy''s fardder?"
12352Do you know de las''time I seed yer?
12352Do you know her?"
12352Do you know of whom I speak?"
12352Do you know what he wanted Marster to do''fore he died?"
12352Do you never get lonesome?"
12352Do you remember Uncle Daniel?"
12352Do you remember telling me about your mother and brother?"
12352Do you think these things will last forever?"
12352Doctor, tell me how it is?
12352Doctor, was it a dream, or was it a reality?
12352Does not true patriotism demand that citizenship should be as much protected in Christian America as it was in heathen Rome?"
12352Does you''member Jake Williams an''Gundover''s Tom?
12352Dugdale,"do you feel in reference to our people''s condition in the South?"
12352Finally, he asked how they did it?
12352For ages of poverty, ignorance, and slavery?
12352From whence do your fears arise?"
12352Had father no friends who would assist us?"
12352Had grief dethroned her reason?
12352Had that army, with freedom emblazoned on its banners, come at last to offer them deliverance if they would accept it?
12352Had you not better apply for a patent?"
12352Has our name been a synonym for contempt?
12352Has she come?"
12352Has the negro been poor and homeless?
12352Have we been beaten and bruised in the prison- house of bondage?
12352Have we been despised and trodden under foot?
12352Have we been ignorant and unlearned?
12352Have we been slaughtered, our bones scattered at the graves''mouth?
12352Have you been successful?"
12352Have you had a presentiment of my death, or, as Uncle Jack says,''hab you seed it in a vision?''"
12352He opened the door quietly and whispered:--"Anything new, Tom?"
12352How about dinner, mother?"
12352How could her marriage be set aside and her children robbed of their inheritance?
12352How dare I dream of happiness when my poor mamma''s heart may be slowly breaking?
12352How did it happen?"
12352How did you get along after she died?"
12352How did you hear it, Tom?
12352How did you know me?"
12352How does yer do?
12352How have we dealt with them both?
12352How have you been all this time, and where?"
12352How have you been getting on since freedom?"
12352How have you succeeded?"
12352How is you, chile?"
12352How is your company getting on?"
12352How long have I been here?"
12352How long is yer gwine to stay?
12352How should he reveal himself to her?
12352How will you answer that in the Day of Judgment?''"
12352How''s all yore folks in de up kentry?"
12352How?"
12352I do wish that you would tell me why you take this unprecedented step?"
12352I do wonder what has become of the boys?
12352I wonder whom I can take with me?"
12352I_ do_ wonder what has become of her?
12352If my mother was lawfully married, how could they deprive her of her marital rights?"
12352In telling you this, do you not, can you not, see that there is an insurmountable barrier between us?"
12352Iola, did you ever attend an anti- slavery meeting?"
12352Iola, will you not grant me the privilege of holding this hand as mine all through the future of our lives?
12352Is dat my pore, dear boy I''se been prayin''''bout all dese years?
12352Is he still a libin''?"
12352Is it one of those beautiful Creole girls who were visiting Augustine''s plantation last winter?
12352Is it somethin''good for us?"
12352Is it your pleasure that the poem be read at this stage of our proceedings, or later on?"
12352Is not the most arrant Rebel to- day more acceptable to you than the most faithful colored man?"
12352Is that so?"
12352Is yer gwine wid us, ef yer gits a chance?"
12352It is not natural for people to run away from happiness, and if they are so happy and contented, why did Congress pass the Fugitive Slave Bill?"
12352It was said of Jesus Christ,''How knoweth this man letters, never having learned?''
12352Leroy?"
12352Look yere, honey, whar did yer come from?
12352Might not sudden joy do what years of sorrow had failed to accomplish?
12352Most of our people take life easily-- why should n''t you?"
12352Nothing of the absent but good?"
12352Now that I have told you my story, what say you?"
12352Now, Captain, ai n''t I right?"
12352Now, own up, Robby, did n''t you feel kine ob mean to go off widout eben biddin''her good bye?
12352Now, what are we to do with them?"
12352Now, what would I say if they all consent?"
12352Oh, children of the tropics, Amid our pain and wrong Have you no other mission Than music, dance, and song?
12352Robby, honey, does you really b''lieve for good and righty dat dem Yankees is got horns?"
12352Robert lay quiet and thoughtful for awhile and, seeing he was wakeful, Iola said,"Have you any friends to whom you would like to send a letter?"
12352Shadows that you merely dread?"
12352She caught sight of the drooping head and grief- stricken face, and rushed to her, exclaiming:--"Whar''s Marse Eugene?"
12352She sez,''Den you wo n''t want ter work for us?''
12352Tenderly and sadly bending over him, with tears in her dark, luminous eyes, she said,"Is there anything I can do for you?"
12352That morning I came down into the kitchen and asked Linda,''Where''s Robert?
12352Then I noticed a marked resemblance between him and Harry, and I thought,''Suppose he should prove to be your long- lost brother?''
12352Then growing calmer, she said,"Mother, who is at the bottom of this downright robbery?"
12352Then suddenly raising his head, he exclaimed,"Boys, there''s not one of you loves freedom more than I do, but--""But what?"
12352There was a faint quiver of indignation in Aunt Linda''s voice, as she replied:--"Do n''t yer want yer freedom?
12352To whom to- day is the world most indebted-- to its millionaires or to its martyrs?"
12352Today your friendship springs from compassion, but, when that subsides, might you not look on me as an inferior?"
12352War you much hurt?
12352Was it a bright, beautiful dream, or a blessed reality soon to be grasped by his willing hands?
12352Was it not true that the cause of a hapless people had become entangled with the lightnings of heaven, and dragged down retribution upon the land?
12352Was n''t I always good to you?"
12352Was that so?
12352Wat fer you take me?
12352Well, which is your choice?"
12352Whar did yer ketch up wid her?"
12352Whar did you git any niece from?"
12352What are you doing now, and where are you living?"
12352What are your plans?"
12352What can any woman do when she is placed in the hands of an irresponsible master; when she knows that resistance is vain?
12352What can keep them so long?"
12352What could a set of unarmed and undisciplined men do against the fearful odds which beset their path?
12352What did it mean?
12352What did she mean?
12352What has that got to do with associating with niggers?"
12352What is to hinder you from sharing my Northern home, from having my mother to be your mother?"
12352What matters it if they do forget the singer, so they do n''t forget the song?
12352What under heaven possessed you to do such a thing?"
12352What will you do?"
12352What, under heaven, are they fighting for?
12352When Robert''s mother observed Iola, she said to Robert,"Is dis yore wife?"
12352When through the weary ages Our dripping tears still fall, Is this a time to dally With pleasure''s silken thrall?
12352When will you leave?"
12352Where are they?
12352Where are they?"
12352Where did you learn it?"
12352Where do you stop?"
12352Where else should I be?
12352Where is Gracie?"
12352Where is_ your_ mother now?"
12352Where shall I call?"
12352Where should he go if he left this country?"
12352Where was he educated?"
12352Where will you have it?"
12352Where''s that?"
12352Which is your choice?
12352Who is de gemmen, ennyhow?"
12352Who is his patient now?"
12352Who is the fortunate lady who has bound you with her silken fetters?
12352Who was she, and who were her people?
12352Why do n''t you study theology?"
12352Why has n''t he set the table?''
12352Why not let well enough alone?"
12352Why not quit this company, and take your place in the army just the same as a white man?
12352Why should she refuse these desirable boons?
12352Why should we yield to its behests?"
12352Why subject yourself to the same experience again?"
12352Will you send her this?"
12352Wo n''t you get a pair of spectacles and learn to read?"
12352Would the most cruel heathen do worse?"
12352Would you be satisfied to have the most beautiful home, the costliest jewels, or the most elegant wardrobe if you were a slave?"
12352Would you be willing to take a school among these people?
12352Would you like to enlist?"
12352You bin dar?"
12352You got my letter?"
12352You were wounded at the battle of Five Forks, were you not?"
12352an''whar hab you bin all dis time?"
12352asked Marie;"an invitation to a hop or a german?"
12352come now, Colonel, ca n''t a man praise a woman without being in love with her?"
12352do n''t you know the Yankees are our best friends?"
12352have I found you at last?"

38029And is he coming right down?
38029And what shall_ I_ be about while you are doing the pulling? 38029 And where are you minded to stroll on this charming afternoon when everybody else is glad to sit in a snug room and take a Saturday rest?"
38029And who is Mammy, may I inquire?
38029Are n''t we here to be done with after that showing?
38029Are n''t you Mrs. Carruth''s little girl?
38029Are they for sale?

38029But what did you wish to ask me, Mammy?
38029But where was Mike, and what was he doing all that time to_ let_ you do such a thing?
38029But who will_ pay_ for him? 38029 But you surely do n''t want_ all_ that?"
38029But you''ll tell me before_ next_ Saturday, wo n''t you? 38029 But, mother, suppose no one will take old Baltie and give him a home?"
38029But_ how_ did you get Baltie and, greater marvel,_ how_ did you bring him all this way home?
38029Can we buy some?
38029Carruth? 38029 Could n''t you have yo''name whar de Merry Christmas stan''at an''''candies''whar de bong bongs is?"

38029Do you know what I believe I''ll do?
38029Do you object to telling me just what you wish to do and why you need an office?
38029Do you think it would hurt her to go, Eleanor?
38029Do you want to quite spoil me?
38029Do? 38029 Does Mammy think for the family?"

38029Have you brought the necessary papers with you? 38029 Honey, what I tol''yo''?
38029How about little white moire paper boxes with some pretty flower on the cover?
38029How about those pretty Japanese boxes they have at Bailey''s?
38029How are you this morning? 38029 How could it be an intrusion under the circumstances?
38029How long may he stay there without being killed? 38029 How much am I bid for this garden set?
38029How much are they?
38029How much?

38029I guess after all it_ is n''t_ a good afternoon, is it? 38029 I say, what did this fellow do to you, little girl?"
38029Is Miss Jinny the older sister who manufactures that delicious candy?
38029Is mother willing? 38029 Is n''t he a_ dear_, mother, to take so much trouble for me?
38029Is n''t he splendid, mother?
38029Is that the place where they_ kill_ them? 38029 Is yo''here, Miss Jinny?

38029Not two yards of any one pattern? 38029 Now, Constance, what are you planning?
38029Now, young lady, by- the- way, do you mind letting me know your name? 38029 O, but what_ will_ mother say?
38029Oh, Baltie, dear, dear Baltie, how did you get out of your stable and come way off here?
38029Oh, Mammy, did you_ sell_ some?
38029Oh, am I? 38029 Oh, are you playing foot- ball?
38029Oh, did you buy those pieces of matting?
38029Oh, may I give him just_ one_ pat before we go?
38029Oh,_ where_ are you going to take him, please?
38029Oh,_ why did_ you get up to meet me? 38029 Perhaps we would,"agreed Eleanor,"but where will we go if we give up the home?
38029Seriously, Constance, what have you thought of doing, dear?
38029Shall I have the men lead him up to your barn?
38029Somebody gwine tek away dat old horse dat yo''love, an''breck yo''heart? 38029 Strike her?

38029Wal, what_ would_ ye do to''em, heh?
38029Wal,''spose he does; what then? 38029 Was there ever such a philosopher as Mammy?"
38029Well, since it is a space we never thought to rent anyway, and could n''t use for anything else if we wished to, suppose we say five dollars a month? 38029 Well, you let me answer that question day after to- morrow, Mumsey?
38029Well_ two_ of us have settled upon our plan of action, now what are_ you_ going to do, Connie? 38029 Wha'', wha'', wha'', yo say, suh?"

38029What can I do? 38029 What did she do with her apples?
38029What do_ you_ suggest for my boxes, mother?
38029What do_ you_ think of it, Mammy?
38029What er? 38029 What is burning, I wonder?"
38029What is it, Mammy? 38029 What is it, Mammy?"
38029What is it? 38029 What is the use of asking that?
38029What''ll I do to him? 38029 What''s de matter, honey?
38029What_ is_ the use of being so ridiculously high and mighty? 38029 When are you going to begin this enterprise?"
38029Where has he been all these years, mother, that we have never met him in Riveredge?
38029Where in this world have_ you_ sprung from? 38029 Where is Mammy?
38029Where_ do_ you get hold of those awful expressions, Jean? 38029 Who said I had any notion of leaving school?
38029Who sesso?
38029Who''n thunder air you?
38029Whom? 38029 Why not have an auction then?
38029Why not, I''d like to know?
38029Why nothing to_ you_? 38029 Why what in this world would you do with it if you_ did_?
38029Will you? 38029 Would it not be kinder to end such a hapless existence than to leave it to an uncertain fate, dear?"
38029Wul, why do n''t ye go home then?
38029Yas, Baltie hawse, what dat chile been doin''wid yo''?
38029Yes? 38029 Yo''s a Blairsdale?"
38029You got out of the field through that broken place in the fence up there did n''t you dear? 38029 _ Can_ you or may you?
38029_ One dollar!_ Did I hear right? 38029 _ What_, Mammy consent to a Blairsdale going into trade?"
38029_ You_ do n''t know what all the fuss is about, and why Mammy is waiting to give me Hail Columbia?
38029''Taint so very much worn, is it?
38029''Tis elergant, ai nt it?

38029And I really_ have_ got''most five dollars, and would_ that_ be enough for another week?"
38029And now_ you_ want to quit school and go to work?
38029And oh,_ how_ did the auction turn out, mother?
38029And what is the matter?
38029And you think of opening a_ stand_?"
38029Are n''t we_ just right_, Mammy?
38029Are you going to sell this set of furniture?
38029Are you planning to sell candy?
38029Are you the superintendent of the building?"
38029Are you thinkin''of taking out a policy?"
38029Are you_ all_ safe?
38029Are your Pegasus Ponies as profitable?"
38029Are your photos ready to paste on''em?"
38029As he turned to go back a man who occupied a cigar stand near the door nodded and said with a laugh:"Got a new tenant, Mr. Porter?
38029As they drew near the stairway, Miss Willing glanced up, gave an indifferent nod in answer to Constance''s"How do you do, Miss Willing?"
38029Baltie?"
38029Baltie?''
38029Bernard Carruth''s daughter?
38029But I fear I shall intrude upon you?"
38029But I wonder what it''ll bring?
38029But I''se gotter settle up dis policy fer de fambly so what is it?
38029But how?
38029But is supper almost ready?
38029But since you love horses so dearly, wo n''t you run and give Comet a lump of sugar?
38029But this house must be an awful expense, ai n''t it?

38029But where are you going?"
38029But yo''ai nt gwine stan''behin''de counter is yo''?
38029But you have n''t asked me what I''m going to charge you for your booth?"
38029By- the- way, apropos of horses, what_ has_ Mammy done to poor old Baltie?
38029By- the- way, how did you get on at the school to- day?
38029CHAPTER II"Baltie""When he''s forsaken Withered and shaken What can an old_ horse_ Do but die?"
38029CHAPTER IV Baltie is Rescued"How old are you, little lassie?"

38029Can I trust you?"
38029Can you tear yourself away from your messes long enough to come up to the attic with me?
38029Carruth?"
38029Come now, out with it--_didn''t_ he?"
38029Connie?"
38029Could''n''de collapse be hild up twell den?"
38029Crowding about the phaeton they asked:"Who makes the candy?
38029De house gwine burn down on top our haids?"
38029Dear, dear, how times have changed, have n''t they?
38029Did n''t Jabe Raulsbury say dat anybody what would tek keer of him could_ have_ him?
38029Did she strike in self- defense?"
38029Did you find him?"
38029Did you get out that mirror that belonged to your great- grandmother?"
38029Did you have time to go and see the prospective ones this afternoon?
38029Did you make''em?
38029Did_ you_ make them?
38029Did_ you_ make''em?"
38029Do n''t I b''long ter de fambly?
38029Do n''t you have to pay board for horses just like people pay their board?"
38029Do n''t you think I ought really to pay more?
38029Do n''t you think that would be a good plan?"
38029Do you always sell it?
38029Do you know him?"
38029Do you mean to tell me''taint all alike?"
38029Do you think I''ll_ ever_ sell it?"
38029Do you think I''m going to miss any of the treat?
38029Do you understand?"
38029Do?
38029Does she make it herself?
38029Does yer want ter kitch yo''deaf cold?"
38029Don''seem right fer a comp''ny ter put sich a boy as yo''is in sich a''sponsible''sition, do it now?"
38029Excitement sharpens one''s appetite does n''t it?
38029Fine day, is n''t it?"
38029Flingin''my earnin''s''way?
38029For a few moments no one had a suggestion to offer, then Constance cried:"Mother could n''t we_ sell_ a good many of the things?
38029For de Lawd''s sake wha''dat chile been at now, an''we all cl''ar''stracted''bout her?

38029Guess one of us better go along with her had n''t we, Ned?"
38029Has she to you?
38029Have we a record in this office?"
38029Have you saved your ma''s clothes?
38029Have you taken leave of your senses, child?"
38029Have you thought about that?"
38029He was at the gate when I drove up, and what do you think he did?
38029He_ would''nt_ have had to say''Whom?
38029How about_ you_?"
38029How am I ever going to pay for it though?
38029How are you flourishing, Nornie?
38029How came she to do such a thing?"
38029How came you there?"
38029How could Jabe Raulsbury have been so utterly heartless?"
38029How did you happen to hear us?"
38029How far have you come?
38029How is_ that_ for a frolic?
38029How much did I sell last Saturday and how much to- day?"
38029How much does Hadyn Stuyvesant ask you for it anyway?
38029How much is I gotter pay yo''?"
38029How much were the packages of candy?
38029How old are you now?"
38029How would you like to share your quarters with this enterprising young lady?
38029How''s_ that_ for a little thoroughbred?"
38029How- de- do, Auntie?
38029How_ could_ I?"
38029Huccum dat old horse here?"
38029I call that pretty good for a ten- year- old business woman, do n''t you, Mumsey, dear?"
38029I know my candy is good,''cause if it was n''t Mammy could not sell it so easily, and--""Candy?
38029I''m half- starved?
38029I''ve been to East Riveredge with the candy--""_ What_ candy, Jean?
38029I_ know_ she will,"wailed Constance, as a man ran across the hall calling:"Miss Carruth, Miss Constance, where are you?
38029If any one had been found to take him he_ would n''t_ have been there yet, would he?
38029If you''re to be a coach- woman you''ve got to have some sort of an equine creature to hustle along, have n''t you?
38029Is dat so?
38029Is dat so?"
38029Is he coming to get him?
38029Is n''t she a marvel?
38029Is n''t that right and fair, Mammy?"
38029Is n''t that right, Mammy?
38029Is she know yo'', suh?"
38029Is this his horse?
38029Is this your horse?"
38029Is yo''busy?
38029Is yo''see her?"
38029Is your mother here?"
38029Is_ he_ de agen''?"
38029Is_ that_ why she struck you?"
38029It is a pretty wet, horrid one, and not a very nice one to be out in, is it?"
38029It is always easier to talk business when seated, do n''t you think so?"
38029It will make you happier to know he will be comfortable for a little while any way, wo n''t it?"
38029It''s old Baltie; do n''t you know him?
38029It_ does_ seem a shame to sell''em, do n''t it now?
38029Jean told it from beginning to end, and ended by demanding:"Do n''t you really, truly, know anything about the candy Constance is making to sell?"
38029Jis''tell me dat?"
38029Just going?
38029Madam Carruth, as she was often called, shook her niece''s hand, looked at her keenly for a moment and then said:"My stars, Jenny, what ails you?
38029Mek a Blairsdale''ceited?"
38029Miss Nornie would n''t never in de roun''worl''do_ dat_, would she, honey?
38029Mr. Porter laughed in spite of himself, then sobering down again asked:"Have you time to come back to my office?
38029Mrs. Carruth rested her cheek upon it as she replied:"What should I do without my girls?
38029Mrs. Carruth turned toward her and asked with a quizzical smile;"What is spoiling, Mammy?"
38029My goodness, is n''t that a lot?
38029My niece has always been considered a most amiable woman, has n''t she?
38029My, does n''t that sound business- like?
38029Nornie, do n''t you wish_ you''d_ taken to a commercial rather than a professional life?
38029Not Bernard Carruth''s daughter?"
38029Now can I go out?"
38029Now comes the fire insurance settlement and the interest on that wo n''t be over seven hundred at the outside, will it?"
38029Now do you?
38029Now whar in de name o''man_ is_ yo''been ter?"
38029Now what am I offered for this roll of fine Japanese matting?
38029Now what is the first step?"
38029Now, she ca n''t possibly_ feed_, let alone clothe, us for less than twenty dollars a week, can she?
38029Now, suh, who is_ yo''_?"
38029Now_ what_ did you say Haydn Stuyvesant charged you for this house?"
38029O_ where_ is Mammy?"
38029Of this he speedily became aware, and looking at her keenly he asked:"Have you ever eaten any of the old Auntie''s candy?
38029Oh, how long have you been here?
38029Oh, what shall I do for you?
38029One dollar for at least fifteen yards of perfectly new Japanese matting?
38029Placing her arms upon her hips, and raising her head like a war- horse scenting battle, Mammy stamped her foot and cried:"Step down an''out?
38029Porter?"
38029Punch his head?"
38029Say, Professor, do you really know her folks?
38029Say, do n''t you think them Carruths were just a little mite extravagant?
38029Say, where did yer git him?"
38029See her?"
38029She jist a projectin'', ai n''t she?"
38029She was about to turn away when Jean made her way through the crowd to her side crying:"Did you really get them, Miss Pike?
38029She was very white and asked almost breathlessly,"Girls, girls, is anyone hurt?
38029Should it be rebuilt with the money to be paid by the insurance company, or should it be sold?
38029Smack her kase she done plague yo'', or praise her kase she doin''her bes''fer ter mek t''ings go a little mite easier fer her ma?"
38029So dey ai n''t gwine_ trus''_ you, Baby?
38029So yo''want me fer ter state mine an''cl''ar long out, does yo''Mr.''Lijah?
38029Sometimes we would rather sacrifice our time than our temper, do n''t you think so?"
38029Sort o''fits yo''pine blank, don''it now?
38029Stuyvesant?"
38029Stuyvesant?"
38029Successful business women and a firm of which you are proud to be a member?
38029Surely you wo n''t leave Riveredge?
38029That is the set mother felt so bad about selling, is n''t it, Connie?"
38029That leaves fourteen hundred wherewith to feed and clothe five people, does n''t it?
38029That one with the bronze bird on it, see?"
38029The former slight might have been disregarded; the latter?
38029The lad laughed and raising his hand stroked the warm neck as he said:"Found a friend at last, old boy?
38029The superintendent noticing her hesitancy said kindly:"Wo n''t you be seated?
38029Then she asked:"Am I to refrain from making inquiries?"
38029Two?
38029Want to see them?
38029Was yo''ma a studyin''''bout yo''doin''s when she done giv''yo''dat name?
38029We only want to make you realize how precious you are, do n''t you understand?"
38029We''re here to be done_ with_, are n''t_ we_, Nornie?"
38029Well it''s this: Your stable, ma''am, up at the old place, are you usin''it at all?"
38029Well?
38029Well_ Miss_ Jean, are you from the South?"

38029What did I tell you?

38029When can we get some more?
38029When did unconscious flattery prove sweeter?
38029When he had finished she looked at him sharply and said:"You know what dat chile''oughter be named?
38029When we were talking about selling these things she almost cried when she spoke about the garden tools and the lamp----""_ What_ lamp, child?
38029When will you stock up?"
38029When yo''gwine begin makin''all dat mess o''candy?"
38029Where dey live at who has de sesso''bout it all?"

38029ai n''t he stanin''dere a livin''tes''imony of what a bran- smash an''elbow- grease kin do?
38029persisted Jean,"will he_ have_ to be shot then?"

55813''Tis I, Lindy, do n''t you know my voice?
55813''Well,''say she,''where is Jake? 55813 ''What fur den you do?''

55813Am I my brother''s keeper?
55813Amy, too?
55813Amy,said I, as I rubbed my eyes, to dissipate the film and mists of sleep,"is it very late?
55813And is this you, Charles Allen?
55813And neither of you will ever become the owner of slaves?
55813And what''s wicked in selling a nigger?
55813And where are you going, John?
55813And who sent them?
55813And why should n''t she?
55813And why?
55813And why?
55813And you think she will do you an injury?
55813Ann, did you never hear of the Abolition Society?
55813Ann, is it you?
55813Ann, you are not happy here?
55813Ann,she cried out,"tell me what''s de matter?
55813Are we going to- morrow?
55813Are you one of the Seven Sleepers, that it requires such knocking to arouse you? 55813 Are you sold?"
55813Beaten for what?
55813But are they as free?
55813But did you not want me to get well, Amy?
55813But have we not, each of us, an influence?
55813But have you not forestalled that by telling Henry who she is, and how she has acted toward you?
55813But how is Aunt Polly? 55813 But is it right for us to be so?
55813But tell me, doctor,he added,"do n''t you think he is growin''stronger?"
55813But think of her,he said tenderly, laying his hand on my shoulder;"what can she do without us, or what should I be without her?"
55813But whar is that d----d old hussy? 55813 But where is she?"
55813But who is he?
55813But who will watch with Aunt Polly?
55813But will you keep your promise?
55813But you see I am talking now,and I could not resist a smile;"have you been nursing me?"
55813But, say, Ann, ken I iver git de chilen back? 55813 Could anything induce you to part with it?"
55813Could not the poor class of whites go there and work for wages?
55813Dead? 55813 Den why did you ax me if I wanted to larn to read?"
55813Dey ai n''t sold?
55813Did n''t yer ax him in, hussy?
55813Did she do that? 55813 Did she want to go?"
55813Did they treat you kindly there?
55813Did you ever see a magnolia before?
55813Did you hear that?
55813Do de free colored folks live like de whites?
55813Do n''t yer want to go South? 55813 Do n''t you know her by sight?"
55813Do the night- sweats continue?
55813Do yer charge extry for leeching, doctor?
55813Do you believe the girl''s story?
55813Do you know aught of this?
55813Do you know him, Miss Nancy?
55813Do you know, pa, that Johnny is an Abolitionist?
55813Do you promise most faithfully?
55813Doctor,and I spoke with great timidity,"is she so ill?
55813Does he love you?
55813Does he receive any hire for your services at this hotel?
55813Does he sit up now?
55813Does master know it?
55813Does n''t this make you miserable?
55813Does not the north star point us to our future home?
55813Does she?
55813Does there really exist such a society; or is it only a wild fable that you tell me, for the purpose of allaying my present agony?
55813Exceptions, indeed, they are; but why?
55813Father, father,said Miss Matilda, who until now had kept an austere silence,"why will you persist in this outrageous talk?
55813Father,and she spoke through her clenched teeth,"what makes you affect this horrid vulgarity?
55813For what are you to be tried?
55813Funny is it, father, for your child to love mercy, and deal justly, even with the lowliest?
55813Gal,he said, addressing me,"whar''s yer master?"
55813Has every place been searched?
55813Has n''t a negro human feeling?
55813Has she no counsel?
55813Has she told where they are?
55813Has you bin bought, Miss?
55813Has you hearn anything, Ann?
55813Has you hearn de news?
55813Have I done anything, Miss Jane?
55813Have I not tasted of the worst of life? 55813 Have you baked a pretty cake, and got plenty of nice confections ready to give Henry a celebration supper, good Biddy?"
55813Have you coughed much?
55813Have you got any lawyer?
55813Have you heard who will buy me?
55813How came he to admit you?
55813How dare you, Miss, speak_ to me_ in that tone? 55813 How does he look?"
55813How far is it from here to the river?
55813How have you made the money?
55813How long have I been sick? 55813 How long have you been free, Louise, and how did you obtain your freedom?"
55813How long since you saw her?
55813How long will Christians willingly resist the known truth? 55813 How often do you have sales?"
55813How? 55813 I did not speak of marrying at all; and might I not be an advocate of universal liberty, without believing in amalgamation?
55813I do n''t know?
55813I suppose your fare is miserable?
55813I wonder who Masser will send fur her? 55813 If you want children, I think we can supply you,"said Miss Jane, and, looking round, she asked,"Where are Amy and her sisters?"
55813In the name of h-- ll and its fires, niggers, what does this mean? 55813 In what way and what fur you wake me up?"
55813Is He in dis room?
55813Is he any worse?
55813Is it possible? 55813 Is it wise for us thus to silence our sympathies?"
55813Is master getting well?
55813Is much the matter?
55813Is she willing?
55813Is that all?
55813Is that,I cried,"a prophet warning?
55813Is there no white person about the place?
55813Is there one of''em here? 55813 Is this a magnolia?"
55813Is yer name Ann?
55813Is, then,I asked myself,"all expressed humanity but idle gibberish?
55813It''s me, Polly; what you be''bout dar, dat you do n''t let me in?
55813La, Aunt Polly, is Lindy gone?
55813Law, chile, is dat you stannin''in de dor? 55813 Live years away from you?
55813Look here, nigger- wench, does you think to spile the sale of property in that ar''way? 55813 Mercy, Louise, what''s the matter?"
55813My name is Charles, what is yours?
55813No, indeed; am I among the lot?
55813No, only humane; but have I not seen enough to make me morbid?
55813Not precisely that either; but, granting, for the sake of hypothesis only, that slavery is a wrong, what good would all my arguments do? 55813 Now who is yer?
55813Now, Henry Graham, are we men? 55813 Now, is it not strange that you should have been an object of such especial interest to both of us?
55813Now, sister, ai n''t you ashamed to flatter me so?
55813Now, where are they,_ liar_?
55813Of course I will not; but do n''t you remember that it was your falsehood that gained for me the only post- whipping that I ever had?
55813Of what State are you a native, Miss Nancy?
55813Oh Lord, chile, I kan''t belieb it; fur, if he loves us, why does he make us suffer so, an''let de white folks hab such an easy time?
55813Oh, Ann, have you come with the water? 55813 Oh, Lord, how much longer must these poor people be tried in the furnace of affliction?
55813Oh, Masser, wo n''t you please buy me?
55813Oh, child,she begun,"can you wid yer pretty yallow face kiss an old pitch- black nigger like me?"
55813Oh, dat is funny; but say, sir, whar is my chile? 55813 Oh, is Aunt Polly any sicker?"
55813Oh, laws, chile, what hab us to do wid der Christians? 55813 Oh, please give me some, only a little; I''m nearly starved?"
55813Oh, please, Kitty, will you have dis basket, dis whistle, and dese putty buttons, sent out to Mr. John Jones'', to my ole''ooman Judy?'' 55813 Oh, psha,''taint no use ob talkin wid you, for you is good; but kum, tell me, is dey mad wid me in de house, and did dey say dey would beat me?"
55813Oh, what will''come of me?
55813Oh, will he die?
55813Oh, yes, you black rascal, you wants some ob my fust- rate whiskey, does you? 55813 Oh,"cried Lindy,"can I git to see young master before I start?
55813Oh,thought I, when left alone,"am I sold to that monster?
55813Oh,thought I,"is there no mercy throned on high?
55813Or why,he would answer, as his dark eye grew intensely black,"were our ancestors ever stolen from Africa?"
55813Poor Luce-- is dat Luce?
55813Pray, where did you learn that slave- holders ever made such a concession? 55813 Robert Worth?
55813Say, Peterkin, ken you lend me a wagen to take''em over to my pen?
55813See Naples and die, eh?
55813Sisters,continued young master,"will you promise to urge or offer no objection to the furtherance of this sacred wish of your dying brother?"
55813So late? 55813 Step up here to this gentleman, Amy, and say how would you like him for a master?"
55813Suppose father had been here; what do you think he would have said?
55813Tell me what has happened since I have been sick?
55813Tell me, who found him, after-- after-- after_ the murder_?
55813Then tell me what occasioned Amy''s death? 55813 They did not beat you?"
55813To the trader?
55813Wal, Ann,he said, as he swung himself back in his chair,"how''s ole Poll?"
55813Wal, haint I right for to''tect my ole''oman?
55813Wal, then,he said, after finding she would yield to no argument,"have n''t you none others you can let me have?
55813Wal, whar is I to begin? 55813 Wal,"he said, half aloud,"whar is the use of my darters takin''on in the way they does?
55813Was he a good master?
55813Well, Ann, what do you want?
55813Well, Elsy,she cried, when she met that little- respected personage,"Have any more''colored ladies''called during our absence?"
55813Well, what business have you here?
55813Well, what have you to say?
55813Were you happy at home?
55813Whar is He?
55813Whar is de white folks?
55813Whar is he?
55813Whar is the forks?
55813Whar is they?
55813Whar she be gone to?
55813Whar''s the spoons?
55813Whar''s your close, gal?
55813What ails you now, gals?
55813What ails you, Tildy?
55813What are you fit for? 55813 What can you tell him on me?"
55813What children?
55813What could I, now, do to be saved?
55813What could you have done? 55813 What did young master tell you about that?
55813What do you mean by quare?
55813What do you mean by_ trying_? 55813 What do you mean, Ann?
55813What do you mean, boy?
55813What do you mean, lad?
55813What do you think it means?
55813What do you want, nigger?
55813What for you be bangin''at my cabin? 55813 What fur you crying, child?"
55813What fur you pray?
55813What fur, Ann?
55813What have I done, Miss Jane?
55813What have you there that is pretty, Aunt Polly?
55813What in the South could induce a different train of thought? 55813 What is her name?"
55813What is it to be sold? 55813 What is it you want, Johnny?"
55813What is it, Massa Ed, what is it Kaisy be takin''on so''bout? 55813 What is it?"
55813What is the matter with that nigger?
55813What is the matter, Ann? 55813 What is the matter, Ann?"
55813What is the matter, my boy?
55813What is the matter?
55813What makes Miss Bradly so quiet and seemingly lachrymose? 55813 What promise is that?"
55813What rhubarb, senna, or what purgative drug would scourthe slaveholder''s nature of harshness and brutality?
55813What right has you to think anything''bout it?
55813What time did she kick the bucket?
55813What was Miss Emily Bradly talking wid you''bout?
55813What will father do with Lindy, if she should be caught?
55813What will you give fur this one?
55813What will you take for this yallow gal?
55813What you grunt fur?
55813What''s faith?
55813What''s that? 55813 What''s the matter?"
55813What''s to be done?
55813What''s your name, girl?
55813What, child?
55813What,I thought,"have I now to desire?
55813What?
55813What_ is_ the matter with you?
55813What_ is_ the matter?
55813When did they miss the forks?
55813When do you predict the advent of that millennial day?
55813Where are Miss Jane and Matilda? 55813 Where are the forks?"
55813Where are they?
55813Where did Mr. Somerville go?
55813Where do you belong?
55813Where have you been, Johnny?
55813Where in this city would we find such a mistress, that allows the servants better fare than she takes herself? 55813 Where is father?"
55813Where is the draught clear and pure enough to quench a flame so consuming?
55813Where is the woman that''s been kilt?
55813Where is your mammy?
55813Where is your mother now, Ann?
55813Where,I asked Aunt Polly,"is Lindy?"
55813Where,she asked me,"are the young ladies?
55813Which of you cussed wretches did this?
55813Which one?
55813Who can she be?
55813Who can that have been?
55813Who could,I asked myself,"have the heart to untie this sweet fraternal bond?
55813Who do you think made negroes?
55813Who done it?
55813Who is God? 55813 Who is he?"
55813Who keres if''tis? 55813 Who killed her?"
55813Who made me one?
55813Who of the others are sold?
55813Who said that I wanted to sell her?
55813Who the d----l is that?
55813Who will accompany you?
55813Who would be our accusers? 55813 Who''s dar?
55813Who''s got de bes''right? 55813 Who''s gwine to be sole?"
55813Who''s her?
55813Who, in the name of h-- l, can say that I struck her? 55813 Who, which of them have you sold, father?"
55813Who,I asked myself,"is this mysterious Fred Douglas?"
55813Whom?
55813Why ca n''t you?
55813Why did he kill himself?
55813Why did you not come and inform me? 55813 Why did your Masser sell you?"
55813Why did your master sell you?
55813Why do n''t she get up?
55813Why do n''t you talk, Ann?
55813Why do yer say de rest ob yer? 55813 Why do you think that?"
55813Why is not the African mind equal to the Caucasian?
55813Why was I not born on that side of the river?
55813Why, Henry, is this you?
55813Why, Lindy, how should I know?
55813Why, how d''ye do, Ann? 55813 Why, sartin I did; but my laughin''want gwine to kill you, was it?"
55813Why,I asked myself,"ca n''t I be a hog or dog to come at the call of my owner?
55813Why? 55813 Will I, though?
55813Will Mr. Monkton''s testimony be taken?
55813Will it do me any good?
55813Will my death- hour ever come?
55813Will scenes like these ever cease?
55813Will you not let me make one of the party for the North?
55813Will you speak to her, young Master, and reconcile her to her situation?
55813Yes, but have n''t you heard? 55813 Yes, but he will,"said Mr. Peterkin, as, with a giant''s force, he broke asunder the slight arms,"you imperdent hussy, arn''t you my property?
55813Yes, but what''s it to you, Amy?
55813Yes, you does; do n''t he, Jake?
55813Yes; why not?
55813You ai n''t, arnt yer, you old fool? 55813 You are a slave?"
55813You d-- n yallow hussy, does you think I buys such expensive chany- ware for you to break up in this ar''way? 55813 You devilish old wretch, Polly, what are you gabbling and snubbling here about?
55813You do n''t want to buy without first seeing her?
55813You do n''t? 55813 You old fool, what''s you''bout, gwine on at this here rate?
55813You take it calmly,he said;"have you no friends?"
55813You think she was sold when you were, do n''t you?
55813You would let her go for a fair price, would n''t you?
55813You? 55813 Your brother?"
55813Your cousin?
55813_ With me?_interrogated the lady.
55813and my baby- boy, whar is he, and my oldest sons? 55813 whar she come from?"
55813when her gwyn away?
55813A black man he evidently was; but how had I heard him spoken of?
55813After repeated knocks at the door of this most wretched hovel, an old crone of a negress muttered between her clenched teeth,"Who''s dar?"
55813Again I attempted to tell the facts of the case, and defend myself, but she interrupted me, saying:"Do you suppose I believe a word of that?
55813Ah, Ann-- is it Ann?"
55813Ah, did I not believe him to be one of God''s blessed angels, lent us for a brief season?
55813Ah, when was the morn of glad freedom to break for me?
55813Ah, you do not believe me; but, good as is this news, it is true; is it not, father?"
55813All flowers were dear to me; but these were particularly precious, and wherefore?
55813Am I to become so utterly degraded?
55813An acknowledgment of contrition, and a determination to do better, are all God requires of the offender; and shall poor, erring mortals demand more?
55813And Miss Jane-- what did she do?
55813And did I not dream that this youth, too, had on earth a mission of love to perform?
55813And did not my uplifted glance tell him who would?
55813And is this thing done beneath the influence of civilized laws, and by men calling themselves Christians?
55813And must the mere fact of his tawny complexion exclude him from the pale of that society which he is so eminently fitted to grace?
55813And now what can you do?"
55813And now, poor old Nace, what pursuit must I recommend to you?"
55813And shall I desert her who has suffered so deeply for me?
55813And what does this amount to?
55813And why may not Ham''s descendants claim a reprieve by virtue of the passion and death of Christ?
55813Ann, how dare you give your mistress impudence?"
55813Are there many women who would have differed from me?
55813Are there no spirits in earth, air, or sky, to lend me their gracious influence?
55813Are there, in the high endurance of the heroes of old Sparta, sufferings such as the unchronicled life of many a slave can furnish forth?
55813Are these aspirings sent us from above?
55813Are they wings lent the spirit from an angel?
55813Are we dogs to lick the hand that strikes us?
55813Are we excluded from the grace of that atonement?
55813Are you a coward, a_ slave_ indeed?"
55813Are you lacking in manliness, in courage?
55813Are you sure you never saw one before?"
55813Are you women or fiends?
55813As I turned the key of Miss Jane''s wardrobe, she came into the room, with an unusually excited manner, exclaiming,"Ann, where is your Miss Tildy?"
55813Astonishing, is it not, how the loaves and fishes of this goodly life will change and sway our opinions?
55813At that suggestion I started, and felt my heart grow chill, as though an icy hand had clenched it; yet why felt I so?
55813Atkins?''
55813Aunt Polly dead?"
55813Aunt Polly wiped her eyes as she said to me,"Ann, does n''t we niggers hab to bar a heap?
55813Ay, who did kill her?
55813Being free, might they not have held property like other nations?
55813Bidding her a polite good- morning, I inquired if the ladies had risen?
55813But come, Jane, I is powerful hungry; ca n''t you git me something to eat?"
55813But how can you, Henry, thus supinely sit by and see yourself robbed of your life''s treasure?
55813But is it not intolerable that we should now quote them with such brazen self- gratulation?
55813But, after all, why wait for a_ plan_?
55813Ca n''t you be sold somewhere in the city?
55813Can we hope for a mitigation of our wrongs when such men are our sovereigns?
55813Can you not labor to buy yourself?
55813Comes it to me now that I may gird my soul for the approaching warfare?
55813Could I be mistaken?
55813Could I bear to have her name and her sorrow thus rudely spoken of?
55813Could I not have answered,"Thou art the man"?
55813Could you bear silently the constant"wear and tear"of body, the perpetual imprisonment of the soul?
55813Could you distinguish between immigrants of their class, and those who now settle upon our soil?
55813Could you not have instilled better things into their minds?
55813Dare he look me full in the eye?
55813Did Cain love Abel?
55813Did Herod love those innocents, whom, by a bloody edict, he consigned to death?
55813Did I not know that the grave would be to her as a bed of ease?
55813Did he feel no touch of remorse, or was he so entirely sold to the d-- l, as to be incapable of regret?
55813Did he not say God loved all His creatures alike?"
55813Did she care to know that others felt for her?
55813Did she come to it by violence?"
55813Did she not plan and premeditate the deed?
55813Did these thoughts never occur to you?"
55813Did you not know of it?"
55813Did your fathers do so before you?
55813Do Christians, who send off missionaries, realize that heathendom exists in their very midst; aye, almost at their own hearthstone?
55813Do chirruping lips and bright eyes claim all your thoughts?
55813Do n''t you know I is yer master, and will beat the very life outen yer, if yer do n''t git up right at once?"
55813Do n''t you know thar is company in the house?"
55813Do not her thrift and industry disprove the oft- repeated charge of indolence that is made upon the negro race?
55813Do not such faces help to prove the perfectibility of the race?
55813Do not the high and merciful stars, that nightly burn above you, recall me to your heart?
55813Do not thoughts of her often come to your lonely soul with the sighing of the midnight wind?
55813Do they reason?
55813Do we not often wonder why the sky can smile so blue and lovingly, when such outrages are enacted beneath it?
55813Do you dare to ask me not to punish a thief?"
55813Do you know, Miss Emily, that your incendiary principles lost you caste in this neighborhood, where you once stood as a model?"
55813Do you pray?"
55813Do you think they could indict you?"
55813Does God look down with kindness upon injustice like this?
55813Does he come here often, Ann?"
55813Does it not seem like dividing the burden, when we know that there is another who will weep for us?
55813Does not a blush stain your cheeks when you make vaunting speeches about the character of your government?
55813Does not our Declaration of Independence aver, that all men are born free and equal?
55813Does not the African, in his love of gaud, show, and tinsel, his odd and grotesque decorations of his person, exhibit a love of style?
55813Does not the child- loved moon speak to you of times when, as a little thing, I nestled close to your bosom?
55813Does she suit you?"
55813Does the uncut diamond show any of the polish and brilliancy which the lapidary''s hand can give it?
55813Father, do you not promise before these witnesses?"
55813Father, do you not want me to rest quietly in my grave?"
55813Feeling, emotion, is the same in the African and the white woman?
55813For this were the infant colonies applauded; who then shall inveigh against us for a practice of the same heroism?
55813Had I a fellow- creature''s blood upon my hands?
55813Had I found, accidentally, one of those Northern Abolitionists, about whom I had heard so much?
55813Had he prepared or engaged an advocate?
55813Had not his blessed smile elevated and inspired my sinking spirit, and his sweet tone softened my over- taxed heart?
55813Had she not power to read, in that noble youth''s voice and manner, the high enduring truth and singleness of purpose that dwelt in his nature?
55813Had they been the proper subjects of property, what could prevent the application of the principle I have quoted?"
55813Happiness?
55813Has Masser said anything''bout it?
55813Has anything happened to you?"
55813Has he weighed the advantages and disadvantages of both?
55813Has not every social and moral feeling been outraged?
55813Have I not just shown that all that you made was by right of law mine?
55813Have other children supplanted your eldest- born?
55813Have you a good home?"
55813Have you done so?
55813Have you not, from the broken chinks of your lonely cabins at night, looked forth upon the free heavens, and murmured at your fate?
55813Have you spoken to Lindy?
55813Have you, by the white man''s coarse brutality, learned to forget your absent child?
55813He waited a moment, then said:"Are you happy?"
55813Hearing my exclamation, she sprung up, and eagerly asked,"What is de matter, Ann?
55813How can the slave be a philanthropist?
55813How can you inhumanly beat those who have no protectors but you?
55813How can you persecute, to the death, poor, ignorant creatures, whose only fault is a black skin?
55813How dare we, as Americans, boast of this as the home and temple of liberty?
55813How did I suffer?
55813How did she behave?
55813How does you like that, and this, and this?"
55813How long will they bay at heaven with their cruel blasphemies?
55813How much does Miss Nancy ask for you?"
55813How much longer must we bear this scourge, this crown of thorns, this sweat of blood?
55813How much longer will thy divine patience endure?
55813How much longer wilt thou permit a suffering race to endure this harsh warfare?
55813How old would you think me?"
55813How would the man of ermine blush at his own quibbles?"
55813I ask you, reader, if for a sorrow like this there was any word of comfort?
55813I evaded her by saying,"how can I know what master will do?"
55813I exclaimed, as I bent above her,"can this thing last long?
55813I felt my soul shiver and shudder at this; but what could I do?
55813I have n''t killed you, too-- say, Miss Bradly, is he dead?"
55813I heard him ask--"Where is she?
55813I jist wisht Masser sell yer apart, den whar is yer''tection ob one anoder?"
55813I leaned forward, and, in a muffled tone, but with my whole heart hanging on my lip, asked Josh"how is mother?"
55813I murmured,"he who reconciles me to my bondage, who is my only friend?
55813I said,"if ever we meet again, will it be a meeting that shall know no separation?
55813I saw young master clasp his hands fervently, and heard him passionately exclaim--"How much longer, oh, how much longer shall this be?"
55813I thought of the pure, passionless apostle John, whom Christ so loved?
55813I went up to him, kindly saying,"What is the matter, old uncle?"
55813I wonder if we''ll git it?"
55813If the African has not heroism, pray where will you find it?
55813If we drive them hence, what excuse have we for it?
55813If, then, human law recognizes a negro as irresponsible, how much more lenient and just will be the divine statute?
55813In the cross- hall I met Louise, who exclaimed,"Why, Ann, where are you going?"
55813In the exhausted coffers and empty public treasury, is there nothing taught but the lesson of national extravagance?
55813In the threatened famine, see we nothing but an accidental failure of the crops?
55813In the virulence of disease, the increasing prevalence of fatal epidemics, what do we read?
55813Into whose hands shall I fall?"
55813Is all noble philanthropy voted vapid by sober, serious, reflecting manhood?
55813Is he not well enough to bear the excitement of it?"
55813Is it because my face is colored?
55813Is it best for a high- souled being to sit supinely down and bear the vile trammels of an unnatural and immoral bondage?
55813Is it for you, a Northerner and a woman, to put up your voice in defence of slavery?
55813Is it not the white man''s policy to degrade your race, thereby finding an argument to favor the perpetuation of Slavery?
55813Is it only beardless boys who can feel for suffering slaves?
55813Is it right to conquer the spirit, which God has given us?
55813Is it to redeem a brother from a band of lawless robbers, who hold him in captivity?
55813Is it to right some individual wrong?
55813Is it to take part with the weak and oppressed against the strong and the overbearing?
55813Is not the bulb, which enshrouds the snowy leaves of the fragrant lily, an unsightly thing?
55813Is not the poisoned cup drained to its last dregs?"
55813Is not this a matter, upon the injustice of which thy great voice should pronounce a malison?
55813Is there a single female heart that will not divine"the wherefore"?
55813Is there for us one thing to sweeten bondage?
55813Is there no hope?
55813Is there no tomb where, for a short space, thou shalt lie, and then, bursting the bonds of night and death, spring up free, redeemed and regenerate?
55813Is this the blessed quality that is destined to"cover a multitude of sins"?
55813It is dark; I ca n''t see you, where, where are you?"
55813It would, besides, strike a blow at my legal practice, and then what could I do?
55813It''s most day; say, is anything gwine on?"
55813John Peterkin?
55813Let us arrange for the future; but first tell me how much money does Henry lack to buy himself?"
55813Look upon me as a sister; but now that your excited feelings have become allayed, let me ask you why your master sold you?"
55813Looking into his deep, witching eyes, I murmured low, whilst my hand returned the pressure of his,"Is it you, dear Henry?"
55813Looking up to me with that vacant glance which at once explained all, she said:"Who''s dar?
55813Might it not have been well to let Amy go too?"
55813Miss Bradly hearn in de house''bout de''raculous''pearance ob de sperit, and she kum up to me, and say''Polly, whar is de body of Ann?''
55813Miss Bradly, is that you?
55813Mother, are you changed?
55813Mought he be yer uncle?"
55813Must I conquer them?
55813Must I stifle the eloquent cry of Nature in my breast?
55813Must it not be wretchedness indeed, when the heart refuses to look around upon blooming, vernal Nature, and answer her with a smile of freshness?
55813No answer being made, she garrulously went on:"Was that yer husband what comed to see you this evenin''?"
55813No notice was taken by the citizens of her murder-- why should there be?
55813Noiselessly I was trying to creep away, when young master said in a low voice:"Is this you, Ann?
55813Not much of anything, ha?"
55813Nothing daunted, she went on:"Is yer gwine down the river with the next lot?"
55813Now, do we not make this a practical falsehood?
55813Now, how would the religious slave- holder answer that?
55813Now, what would you think if I did n''t give you a single lick?"
55813Now, why, I ask, have they not as much right to remain here as we have?
55813Obediently he swallowed it, and, as he returned the glass, he asked,"How has this wretched matter terminated?
55813Of what avail, then, would be my''quiddits, quillets; my cases, tenures and my tricks?''
55813Often I ask myself why is this?
55813Oh, God, what fierce and fiendish feelings did the recollection of her agony arouse?
55813Oh, did they not reach the ear of Almighty love?
55813Oh, does it not seem a mockery for the slave to employ that word?
55813Oh, nation of the free, how long shall this be?
55813Oh, shall I, can I, ever forget that scene?
55813Oh, sisters, know ye not that this Algerine captivity that I have painted, is but a poor picture of the daily martyrdom which our slaves endure?
55813Oh, was not this fearful, fearful ignorance?
55813Oh, where is there to be found injustice like that which the American slaves daily and hourly endure, without a word of complaint?
55813Oh, why, why have we-- poor bondsmen and bondswomen-- these fine and delicate sensibilities?
55813On the evening before our departure, I called Louise to me and asked,"Where is Henry''s grave?"
55813Or do you toil alone, broken in soul and bent in body, beneath the drudgery of human labor, without one soft voice to lull you to repose?
55813Or must they be clipped and crushed as belonging to the evil spirit?"
55813Or, mother, have other ties grown around your heart?
55813Peterkin''s?"
55813Raising himself quickly in the bed, he asked,"What hour is it?"
55813Reverse the case, and take upon yourselves their condition; how would you act?
55813Sally can get a situation as cook; and Ann, where is Ann?"
55813Shall I ever forget the despairing look of Charley?
55813Shall Nebraska and Kansas join in a blood- spilling coalition with the South?
55813Shall it dare to desecrate, with its vile presence, the new territories that are now emphatically free?
55813She sprang from the bed, exclaiming:"La, Ann, whar has yer bin?
55813She started nervously,"Oh, who are you?
55813She was a strange, gifted, unusual woman;--who, then, can suppose that her infancy and youth were ordinary?
55813Should I, could I, ever be_ free_?
55813Summerville?"
55813Summerville?"
55813Sure, and arn''t de one who cooks it got de bes''right to it?"
55813Take her a word from me?
55813Tell me what is to become of us?
55813Tell me why were you sold?"
55813Tell me, honest reader, was not she, at heart, a murderess?
55813The old man''s voice grew very feeble, as he asked,"An de chillen, de boys, how is dey?"
55813The strange workings of my countenance attracted Amy''s attention, and, coming up to me, with an innocent air, she asked:"What is the matter, Ann?
55813The taller girl turned toward me, and asked,"Father, is that the new girl you bought at old Nelson''s sale?"
55813Then I would repeat the often- asked question,"Where shall we live?"
55813Then who can ask me, if I would not rather go back into bondage than_ live_, aye_ live_( that is the word), with the proud sense of freedom mine?
55813Think ye not, oh, gentle reader, that this prayer was heard above?
55813To Master William''s interrogatory,"Is Mr. Atkins in?"
55813Tompkins?"
55813Tossing her bonnet off, she kissed Miss Jane very affectionately, nodded to me, and asked,"Where is Tildy?"
55813Very true, I thought, for the most of them; but who is to blame for their ignorance?
55813Wal, says I, haint your faces black as mine?
55813Was he not one of the sacred chosen?
55813Was it mournfulness that streamed, with a purple light, from them, or was it a sublimated contempt?
55813Was it not sad to behold the depths of degradation into which this creature had fallen?
55813Was she dead?
55813Was she not, now, the weakest and most sordid of mortals?
55813We have been and are cruelly oppressed; why may we not come out with our petition of right, and declare ourselves independent?
55813Well, what''s the damage?"
55813Were they not hideous to look upon, and was he not lovely as a seraph?
55813Were they not low and vulgar, and he lofty and celestial- minded?
55813Whar is he?"
55813Whar is she?
55813What business have negroes going to church?
55813What constitutes worth of character?
55813What could she mean by new friends and a new home?
55813What did you put it here fur?
55813What for you git up out en yer warm bed, and go stand in the night- ar?"
55813What fur you do dat?
55813What gives elevation to him?"
55813What has armed those twelve men with pistols, and sent them on an excursion like this?
55813What has become of that unfortunate girl?"
55813What has been the matter with me?"
55813What have you to say on these material points?"
55813What if some grim phantom dash down this sparkling cup; just as we are about to press it to our eager and expectant lips?
55813What if this imprudence should rapidly develop a fearful disease?"
55813What is a nigger''s hide more than a hog''s?"
55813What is there, in that case, to hinder them from immigrating in large numbers?
55813What makes the man?
55813What right has you to speak, slut?"
55813What then have we to hope for?
55813What think you was the answer of this white mother?
55813What to that broken heart were words of condolence?
55813What torture could await her beyond the pass of the valley of shadows?
55813What was done for me?
55813What was it that reconciled me to the horrible tortures which were awaiting me?
55813What wonder then, that this poor ignorant child sighed for the calm, unfearing, unbroken rest of the grave?
55813What would be my situation without prayer?
55813What would we think of this?
55813What''s I got to live fur?"
55813What''s Masser goin''to do wid us all?"
55813What, to that lightning- burnt soul, were the wounds of the body?
55813What_ had_ she to live for?
55813When did she die?
55813When shall we be sold?
55813When the final amen had been said, she asked,"Ann, what''s to become of me?"
55813When will Miss Nancy be ready to go?"
55813Where and with what Calvary shall this martyrdom terminate?
55813Where are the''inalienable rights''of which our Constitution talks in such trumpet- tones?
55813Where did you find her?
55813Where had they been during the lapse of years?
55813Where is Lindy?"
55813Where is master?"
55813Where is she?"
55813Where is the honesty that could not, under such circumstances, find an argument to justify larceny?
55813Where is the woman that would not have hotly resented such an insult?
55813Where was Remorse, the unsleeping fiend, in that moment?
55813Where was her master?
55813Where was that far and heaven- reaching love, that had seemed to encircle her as a living, burning zone?
55813Where was the exalted philanthropy that I had thought dwelt in her soul?
55813Where were they all?
55813Where will you ever again find such kind mistresses and such a good master?"
55813Where, all this time, was Miss Bradly?
55813Whilst I still loitered near the flower, a very sweet but manly voice asked:"Do you love flowers?"
55813Whither could the figure have fled?
55813Whither went it, oh, angel of mercy?
55813Who but the Maid of Orleans rescued her country?
55813Who can carp at me?
55813Who can hope to find so fair a flower blooming amid the dreary brambles of a negro- trader''s breast?
55813Who could dry up the only fountain in this benighted soul?
55813Who could he be?
55813Who could, who would, who dared, separate the parent from her offspring?
55813Who does not want it, no matter at what costly price?
55813Who ever heard of such impertinence?
55813Who gave him the right to force me from my good home and kind friends?"
55813Who is he?
55813Who is the poor man''s friend?
55813Who is there that could resist?
55813Who is there with enough of Christ''s spirit to speak kindly to the Magdalene, and bid her''go and sin no more''?
55813Who is to be answerable for the short- comings of such a soul?
55813Who is you?
55813Who may tell the silent, unexpressed agony that I there endured?
55813Who of us can refuse sympathy?
55813Who saw it?
55813Who shall say that solitary communing with Nature unfits the soul for active life?
55813Who that listens to the words of Parker, Sumner, and Seward, can believe them other than inspired?
55813Who that lives beneath your shelter, would dare to say they are not wise and sacred as the laws of the Decalogue?
55813Who that looked upon him, with his quiet, reflective eye, but knew that an angel sat enthroned within his bosom?
55813Who the witnesses?
55813Who tole you to put yer mouth in?"
55813Who was with her?
55813Who were her accusers?
55813Who would feel the same interest in her that I do?
55813Who would nurse her?
55813Who would think it injustice to"commend the poison- chalice to her own lips"?
55813Who''s bought you?"
55813Whose hand but woman''s dealt the merited death- blow to one of France''s bloodiest tyrants?
55813Why am I thus self- bound?
55813Why and how can your womanly heart turn away from its true instincts?
55813Why and how was this?
55813Why are we cursed with slavery?
55813Why are you weeping?"
55813Why ban the African?"
55813Why can not the means of happiness come to us when we have the capacity for enjoyment?
55813Why could n''t mother come with me, or I stay with her?
55813Why did my eye droop beneath that warm, inquiring gaze; and why did he ask so low, in a half whisper:"Should I die who will grieve for me?"
55813Why do n''t she come to me?
55813Why do not the States themselves interpose their power to put down at once and forever, such nefarious business?
55813Why do we love?
55813Why do you tremble so, Ann?"
55813Why have we houses of prostitution, where beauty is sold for a price?
55813Why have we pest and alms- houses?
55813Why is you and Aunt Polly sittin''up at dis time ob of de night?
55813Why may n''t it be you?"
55813Why separated from my mother and friends?
55813Why should dey?"
55813Why should it be?
55813Why should they not go a step further, and forbid all traffic in slaves, such as is pursued among your people?
55813Why should we?
55813Why was_ I_ sold?
55813Why will you mortify and torture us in this cruel way?"
55813Why, why is the gate of heaven shut against me?
55813Will she, must she die?
55813Will you grant it?
55813Will you walk in?"
55813With quiet, saintly manner, taking his seat at the table, he said,"Is not the abolition power strong at the North, Miss Emily?"
55813Would it not be better for me if I could repress all the lofty emotions and generous impulses of my soul, and become a spiritless thing?
55813Would n''t his white complexion contrast well with that of the sable orator?"
55813Would you refuse to make me happy?
55813You axed whar Lindy was found?
55813You did n''t see who she was talkin''wid?"
55813You do n''t dare to say you are not happy_ here_?"
55813You kan''t write, neither ken I. Oh, what shill we do?"
55813You will not refuse me?"
55813You, who are clad in satin, and decked with jewels, albeit your face is as white as snow, can not boast of emotions different from ours?
55813and catching hold of my ear he pulled me round in front of him, saying,"Well, you are likely- looking; how much work can you do?"
55813and do we submit to these things?"
55813and for her own carelessness and mistake had Amy been sacrificed?
55813and how can you be so very_ idiosyncratic_"( this was a favorite word with her)"as to say you never use them?
55813and is she not half- distracted?"
55813and when?"
55813and where is the young gentleman who supped with them on that awful night?"
55813cried Mr. Peterkin, as his eye met the calm, clear, fixed gaze of his son,"where did you get that look?
55813dead?
55813did n''t he promise?
55813does not one who has real trouble, heart- agony, sicken when he hears of these affectations of grief?
55813had that last and only soul- stay been taken from me?
55813has aught happened to him?"
55813have they company?"
55813have you heard the horn blow for the hands to come in from work?"
55813how?
55813if I die, what will become of me?
55813is there for us no redress?
55813is this right?
55813mine to do what I pleases with; and do you dar''to oppose me?"
55813must I give up the angel- sealed honor of my life in traffic for trinkets?
55813my son John?"
55813said Mr. Peterkin to me, one day,"are you agoin to die, too, Ann?
55813she cried out; then, turning to me, said,"does Henry know it?"
55813she groaned forth,"oh, is I gwine down de ribber?
55813slave, in your heart a single pleasant memory?
55813that another heart wept for her grief?
55813wast thou not, to my old and weary friend, a messenger of sweet peace; and was not the tomb a gateway to new and undreamed- of happiness?
55813what did you say, Lindy?"
55813what do you think?
55813what shill I do?"
55813what''s that''bout Aberlitionists?"
55813where from?"
55813where is thy warning voice?
55813who can equal you?
55813who''s dar?
55813you haint driv the_ chile_ off?
15265A love affair--she paled with something like fear--"and I"--she started to speak, but could not--"I want to know what you think about Zora?"
15265About darky schools?
15265About how much?
15265Ai n''t you got no money?
15265All the truth?
15265Always-- tell-- the truth?
15265Am I? 15265 And Sanders?"
15265And Zora?
15265And cotton?
15265And criticise the party?
15265And culture and work?
15265And do the people believe that?
15265And how long have you been buying it?
15265And if that strong influence were found?
15265And is--she struggled at the word madly--"is she pure?"
15265And kill the plantation system?
15265And leave a pa''cel of niggers behind to shoot your lights out? 15265 And let your neighbor sell them poison at all hours?
15265And more beautiful?
15265And no appointment? 15265 And now,"he said,"Miss Wynn, what can I do for you?"
15265And part of the price is putting the colored schools of the District in the hands of a Southern man and depriving us of all voice in their control?
15265And say,as Easterly was turning away,"you know Congressman Smith?"
15265And so you ca n''t leave?
15265And the Board of Education abolished?
15265And the other planters?
15265And then?
15265And these Cresswells today?
15265And throw the rest of our capital after the fifty thousand dollars we''ve already lost?
15265And what brings you to town afoot this time of day?
15265And what shall you do?
15265And what were you to pay for it?
15265And what''s beyond the swamp?
15265And where do you live, Buddy?
15265And who is Elspeth?
15265And why do you hate it?
15265And why does she hold a lily?
15265And will they all be represented?
15265And with the teachers of it?
15265And yet you will stay?
15265And yonder to the west?
15265And you are still friendly with him?
15265And you?
15265And, Zora, what way do you seek? 15265 Any witnesses?"
15265Any witnesses?
15265Are kisses illegal here?
15265Are they honest and kind?
15265Are they not hard working honest people?
15265Are you going back there when you finish?
15265Are you happy?
15265Are you men fools, or rascals? 15265 Are you sure of the path, Zora?"
15265Are you sure?
15265Are you the-- er-- the man who had a letter to the Senator?
15265Are you walking?
15265Are you-- in a hurry, Miss Smith?
15265As Treasurer?
15265Aunt Rachel?
15265Back, is she? 15265 Behind where the sun comes up?"
15265Bigger?
15265Black or white?
15265Bles,she began didactically,"where are you from?"
15265Bles,she cried,"how can I grow pure?"
15265Bles,she said impulsively,"shall I tell you of the Golden Fleece?"
15265Bles,she said primly,"have you absolutely no shame?"
15265Brethren,he began,"the plan''s good enough for talkin''but you ca n''t work it; who ever heer''d tell of such a thing?
15265But could n''t you hire some good workers?
15265But did n''t you say they were engaged?
15265But did n''t you settle at Christmas?
15265But how about your raw material? 15265 But how can I know?"
15265But how do they hope to make Mr. Alwyn blunder?
15265But how shall we help him?
15265But how''s cotton?
15265But if she escapes, why not you?
15265But if we can not trust to the justice of the case, and if you knew we could n''t, why did you try?
15265But in the tenth case-- suppose he should stick to it?
15265But is it necessary? 15265 But others-- a man''s a man, is n''t he?"
15265But surely you did n''t join her in advocating that ten million people be menials?
15265But that''s been decided, has n''t it?
15265But the other gown?
15265But the seed?
15265But the unselfish work she does-- the utter sacrifice?
15265But what do Teerswell and Stillings want?
15265But what_ can_ turn up?
15265But where are the houses?
15265But where have you sent them?
15265But where is it?
15265But where is it?
15265But who gave it to you?
15265But why do n''t the planters do something?
15265But why is lies evil?
15265But why prolong the thing?
15265But you believe in some education?
15265But you mean to say you ca n''t even advise her?
15265But, Mrs. Vanderpool,she protested,"is it right?
15265But, Zora, must you folk ape our nonsense as well as our sense?
15265But,--presently,--"how can we sell it without the Cresswells knowing?"
15265But-- I do n''t understand, Miss Smith-- why ca n''t you accept my offer?
15265But-- but I thought they had already started to work a crop on the Tolliver place?
15265But-- but how are-- all?
15265But-- but, dear Mrs. Vanderpool, you would n''t want your children trained that way, would you?
15265But-- will he?
15265By the bye, I met some charming Alabama people last winter, in Montgomery-- the Cresswells; do you know them?
15265Ca n''t I have the girl Zora?
15265Called?
15265Can I go?
15265Can I speak with you a moment, Colonel?
15265Can it be, Bles Alwyn,she said,"that you do n''t know the sort of girl she is?"
15265Can you not stop and see some of the classes?
15265Can you put trust in that sort of help?
15265Can you?
15265Cash?
15265Colton,he asked,"are you sending any of your white children to the nigger school yet?"
15265Come, is you? 15265 Cotton is a wonderful thing, is it not, boys?"
15265Could I buy a lunch from the dining- car?
15265Could I help?
15265Could I trust you with a human soul?
15265Could she pass?
15265Did Helene attend the ball four years ago?
15265Did he say he meant to sign such a contract?
15265Did n''t I tell you there was lots to learn?
15265Did n''t you know that this Child Labor business was opposed to my interests?
15265Did you get that novel for me, Harry?
15265Did you know that he is to be invited to make the principal address to the graduates of the colored high- school?
15265Did you make that pin?
15265Did you see Colonel Cresswell sign this paper?
15265Did you suggest anything?
15265Do crazy folks forget?
15265Do fools like the American people deserve salvation?
15265Do n''t white folks make books?
15265Do n''t you hate the deception?
15265Do n''t you know that Colonel Cresswell will attach our cotton for rent as soon as it touches the warehouse?
15265Do n''t you know that is a wicked, bad habit?
15265Do n''t you know we''re not going to interfere with Colonel Cresswell''s tenants?
15265Do n''t you see,he said angrily,"that that will ruin our plans for the Cotton Combine?"
15265Do n''t_ you_ want to be different?
15265Do they get that-- ten cents an hour?
15265Do you ever tell lies, Zora?
15265Do you go to school?
15265Do you happen to have any whiskey handy?
15265Do you hear the bodies creaking on the limbs? 15265 Do you know how?"
15265Do you know me?
15265Do you know my people? 15265 Do you know no one in town?"
15265Do you live about here?
15265Do you live in Washington?
15265Do you mean it?
15265Do you mean to intimate that Mr. Alwyn''s appointment is held up because he is colored?
15265Do you mean to say he''s actually slated for the place?
15265Do you mean to say that you are going to keep in this school a girl who not only lies and steals but is positively--_immoral_?
15265Do you s''pose mammy''s the witch?
15265Do you stay there now?
15265Do you work for pay?
15265Does he furnish you rations?
15265Does he?
15265Does she think them immodest?
15265Does you own the land?
15265Does you want-- a collection?
15265Does, eh? 15265 Dreams?"
15265Enough to marry me?
15265Even if it hurts me?
15265Except who?
15265First, there''s England-- and all Europe; why not bring them into the trust?
15265For what? 15265 General philanthropy?"
15265Gentleman is asking if you forgits it''s Saturday night, sir?
15265God is the father of all the little babies, ai n''t He, Bles?
15265Goobers?
15265Good white folk?
15265Got my letter?
15265H''m, they''re way behind, are n''t they? 15265 Harry, will you do me a favor?"
15265Hate what?
15265Have I shocked you?
15265Have n''t I a right to have a gun?
15265Have you been in your sitting- room?
15265Have you got the deed?
15265Have you had the civil- service examinations?
15265Have you heard of the Vanderpools?
15265Have you hired a maid?
15265Have you many settlements?
15265Have you never heard of the Golden Fleece, Bles?
15265Have you seen Senator Smith yet?
15265Have you seen the Easterlys?
15265He deserved it, did n''t he?
15265He''s a fair God, ai n''t He?
15265Heavenly Father, was man ever before set to such a task?
15265Helen?
15265Helps folks that they love? 15265 Here you, Jim, take the big mules and drive like-- Where''s that wench?"
15265Hired?
15265How about fighting for exercise?
15265How am I to know this is true?
15265How dare you?
15265How do you do, Miss Smith?
15265How do you mean?
15265How do you spell that?
15265How does_ you_ know He does?
15265How is my sister?
15265How long before the stalks will be ready to cut?
15265How much is that?
15265How much of it?
15265How much-- farther will it drop?
15265How much?
15265How so?
15265How you know?
15265How''s his cotton?
15265How''s the school getting on?
15265How?
15265How?
15265How?
15265I beg pardon, does the Miss Wynn live here who got the prize in the art exhibition?
15265I beg your pardon?
15265I do hope the thing can be managed, but--"What are the difficulties?
15265I do n''t suppose you know any one who is acquainted with any number of these Northern darkies?
15265I hate it, Bles, do n''t you?
15265I mean, what work?
15265I mean, would the Cresswells approve of educating Negroes?
15265I see-- everybody is raising his price, is he? 15265 I suppose my salary would stop?"
15265I suppose you hear from the school?
15265I think they are; but-- well, you know Carrie Wynn better than I do: suppose, now-- suppose he should lose the appointment?
15265I thought it was the lazy, shiftless, and criminal Negroes, you feared?
15265I wonder what I shall make out of her?
15265I''m driving round through the old plantation,he explained;"wo n''t you join me?"
15265I''ve gambled-- before; I''ve gambled on cards and on horses; I''ve gambled-- for money-- and-- women-- but--"But not on cotton, hey? 15265 I-- er-- came; that is, I believe you sent a group to the art exhibit?"
15265I-- er-- meant to ask if Colonel Cresswell, in signing this paper, meant to sign a contract to sell this wench two hundred acres of land?
15265If not I, who?
15265In your dark lives,he cried,"_ who_ is the King of Glory?
15265Inclined to be a little nasty?
15265Indeed? 15265 Indeed?
15265Indeed?
15265Indeed?
15265Is it off?
15265Is it ready, Zora?
15265Is it wrong,asked Zora,"to make believe you likes people when you do n''t, when you''se afeared of them and thinks they may rub off and dirty you?"
15265Is it? 15265 Is it?--is it?"
15265Is it?--is it?
15265Is n''t Bles developing splendidly?
15265Is n''t it so-- anywhere?
15265Is n''t the census building wretched?
15265Is she very sick?
15265Is that all?
15265Is that so?
15265Is that wrong?
15265Is that you, Smith?
15265Is the Congressional business very heavy?
15265Is there any water near?
15265Is there anything in Washington that the South does not already own?
15265Is this a new gag?
15265Is this about this?
15265Is you afeared, honey?
15265Is-- is anything the matter?
15265It is so late and wet and you''re tired tonight-- don''t you think you''d better sleep in your little room?
15265Jim Sykes?
15265Just begun?
15265Just what is your plan?
15265Know dem? 15265 Like it?
15265Look like a fool, do I?
15265Mary, has that Alwyn nigger been here this afternoon?
15265Me? 15265 Mean?
15265Miss Smith''s school?
15265Miss Smith, how much money have you?
15265Miss Smith, is yo''got a speller fo''ten cents?
15265Miss Smith, is yo''got just a drap of coffee to lend me? 15265 Miss Smith, who do you think has been here?"
15265Miss Smith, would Jim do to drive?
15265Miss-- Wynn?
15265Mr. Cresswell would be their local representative?
15265Mr. Taylor, have you any money in this?
15265Mr. Taylor,said the lawyer carelessly,"were you present at this transaction?"
15265Mrs. Grey talked to you much?
15265Must you do as he wants?
15265My God-- it walks-- like my wife-- I tell you-- she held her head so-- who is it?
15265My people?--my people?
15265Never?
15265Never?
15265No,he pressed her,"with your bargain?"
15265No-- well, what can I do for you?
15265No-- what?
15265Now what the devil does this mean?
15265Now, Bles,she began,"since we understand each other, can we not work together as good friends?"
15265Now, about the niggers,the chairman had asked;"how much more boodle do they want?"
15265Now, what do you know,she asked finally,"about Negroes-- about educating them?"
15265Now, what have you got there?
15265Now, what''s his game?
15265Of Colonel Cresswell?
15265Oh, you''ve noted it, too?--his friendship for that impossible girl, Zora?
15265Ought I to tell? 15265 Our success?"
15265Promise you wo n''t tell?
15265Really, now, you do not mean to say that there is a danger of-- of amalgamation, do you?
15265Robert, where is the land Cresswell offers you?
15265Said that, did he?
15265Sam, is it? 15265 Say, Harry, how about that darky, Sykes?"
15265Say,he whispered another time,"do n''t you want to buy these gold spectacles?
15265See those boys over there? 15265 Sell it?
15265She gets a salary, does n''t she?
15265She lives in the swamp-- she''s a kind of witch, I reckon, like-- like--"Like Medea?
15265So''m I,answered the boy, fumbling at his bundle; and then, timidly:"Will you eat with me?"
15265So? 15265 So?
15265Some time you''ll tell me, please, wo n''t you?
15265Something political?
15265Still thinking of going, are you, Sam?
15265Stillings?
15265Stuff?
15265Surely there must be many friends of our race willing to stand for the right and sacrifice for it?
15265Taylor, what does this mean?
15265The Cresswells?
15265The Silver Fleece?
15265The Tolliver place?
15265The brotherhood of man?
15265The snake-- what is he?
15265The world?
15265Then what''s the use of seeing the world?
15265Then why do they go?
15265Then you can leave the place, Zora?
15265Then you care-- for me?
15265Then you lies sometimes, do n''t you?
15265There are so many ahead of me and I am in a hurry to get to my school; but I must see the Senator-- couldn''t I go in with you? 15265 There''s something in it,"he admitted,"but what can we do?
15265They are-- wealthy people?
15265They may accommodate you-- how much would you want?
15265They want us to revive the Farmers''League?
15265This is a great cotton country?
15265Tickets?
15265Tightening up on the tenants?
15265To be sure,she murmured,"but what sort of folks?"
15265Todd asks: Who is Vanderpool, anyhow? 15265 Todd just let fall something of a combination against us in Congress-- know anything of it?"
15265Tolerable, how are you?
15265True; but ca n''t we force them to it?
15265Two hundred acres? 15265 Want to go?"
15265Was n''t what I said true?
15265Was she pretty?
15265Was the child born dead?
15265We wo n''t work any more today, then?
15265We''se both crazy, ai n''t we?
15265We''ve cornered the market all right-- cornered it-- d''ye hear, Cresswell? 15265 We?"
15265Well, I wants to see Mr. Harry very much; could I wait in the back hall?
15265Well, Uncle Jim, why are n''t you at work?
15265Well, Zora, what have you there?
15265Well, all right, if--"Harry, I feel a little-- hysterical, tonight, and-- you will not refuse me, will you, Harry?
15265Well, are you all moved, Aunt Rachel?
15265Well, are you getting things in shape so as to enter school early next year?
15265Well, did he intend so far as you know to sign such a paper?
15265Well, nigger, what are you going to do about it?
15265Well, sir?
15265Well, what do you want?
15265Well, what do you want?
15265Well, what is it?
15265Well, what then?
15265Well, who''d have dreamed it?
15265Well, why do n''t you go to the office?
15265Well,asked Cresswell, maintaining his composure by an effort,"how are things?"
15265Well,shortly,"now for that talk-- ready?"
15265Well?
15265Were they kind to their slaves?
15265What Smith?
15265What about Johnson?
15265What are prospects in March? 15265 What are you going to do with it?"
15265What bargain?
15265What can I do for you?
15265What can I do to help you?
15265What can I do?
15265What can be done with Negroes?
15265What damned mummery is this?
15265What did you disagree about?
15265What do the colored people want, and who can best influence them in this campaign?
15265What do you do?
15265What do you mean?
15265What does Miss Wynn do for a living?
15265What does it amount to a year?
15265What does she intend to do?
15265What else?
15265What for?
15265What for?
15265What for?
15265What is Todd''s bill?
15265What is it?
15265What is it?
15265What is planted over there?
15265What is the matter, Bles?
15265What is the matter, Zora?
15265What is the matter, Zora?
15265What is the world like?
15265What is your plan?
15265What kinds?
15265What of it? 15265 What of it?"
15265What of them?
15265What pin?
15265What shall we offer him?
15265What sort of people are the Cresswells?
15265What the hell are you going to do?
15265What was the trouble?
15265What will you say in your speech?
15265What would the interest be?
15265What would you expect as pay?
15265What would you have? 15265 What you run for?"
15265What!--and no appointment?
15265What''s a shame?
15265What''s over there?
15265What''s that got to do with it?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s that?
15265What''s the charge here?
15265What''s the matter, Rob?
15265What''s the matter?
15265What''s the use, Miss Smith-- what opening is there for a-- a nigger with an education?
15265What''s this nigger charged with?
15265What''s this stuff about the Civic Club?
15265What''s this?
15265What''s your name?
15265What-- what did you do?
15265What?
15265What?
15265What?
15265What?
15265When we cry they mock us; they ruin our women and debauch our children-- what shall we do? 15265 When?"
15265Where can we buy them?
15265Where did this come from?
15265Where did you get it?
15265Where did you get these facts?
15265Where does it go?
15265Where does this road come out?
15265Where have you been?
15265Where is it?
15265Where is she now?
15265Where is she?
15265Where is the deed?
15265Where now, Zora?
15265Where shall I put these?
15265Where to, Madame?
15265Where you going?
15265Where''s Zora?
15265Where''s that?
15265Where''s your lawyer?
15265Where''s-- Nell''s?
15265Where?
15265Where?
15265Where?
15265Which would the South prefer-- Todd''s Education Bill, or Alwyn''s appointment?
15265Who is dis what talks of doing the Lord''s work for Him? 15265 Who is he?"
15265Who is he?
15265Who is it, and what do you want?
15265Who is it?
15265Who''ll be the committee?
15265Who''s John Taylor?
15265Who''s a- feared of the dark? 15265 Who''s going to get what''s made on this land?"
15265Who''s going to tend this land?
15265Who''s going to work on the place?
15265Who''s running it?
15265Who''s speaking?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s that?
15265Who''s this?
15265Who?
15265Whom?
15265Whose child is this?
15265Whose is that?
15265Whose work is this, Senator?
15265Why did n''t you tell me?
15265Why did you send your exhibit when you knew it was not wanted?
15265Why did you speak so to Miss Taylor?
15265Why do you say these things?
15265Why is it yours?
15265Why not bigger?
15265Why not make a speech on the subject?
15265Why not, then, admit that you draw the color- line?
15265Why not?
15265Why not?
15265Why should it be?
15265Why should n''t people do anything they wants to?
15265Why should we trust him?
15265Why, Aunt Rachel, how are you?
15265Why, Bles, what''s the matter?
15265Why, Zora?
15265Why, certainly,Mrs. Vanderpool agreed, and then curiously:"What?"
15265Why, dangerous?
15265Why, how do you do, Robert?
15265Why, it''s civil- service, is n''t it?
15265Why, one must live; and why not be happy?
15265Why, what''s there?
15265Why, yes--faltered Miss Taylor;"but-- wouldn''t that be difficult?"
15265Why,he said at length,"are n''t you promoting it?"
15265Why,in abrupt recognition,"it is our Venus of the Roadside, is it not?"
15265Why? 15265 Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Will it take long?
15265Will you come to hear me?
15265With his bargain?
15265With that hair?
15265Wo n''t you come in?
15265Wo n''t you try?
15265Work? 15265 Would Bles care if I told?"
15265Would it not be worth a fight?
15265Yes, but ought you to tell them?
15265Yes, this is it-- good- bye-- I must--"Wait-- what is your name?
15265Yes-- but back of it all, what is it really? 15265 Yes?"
15265You are a stranger?
15265You are interested in bronzes?
15265You are worse, father?
15265You can depend on Taylor, of course?
15265You do n''t mean that any one can advise a black man to vote the Democratic ticket?
15265You had quite forgotten what you were waiting for-- isn''t that so, Sis?
15265You know the Cresswells, then?
15265You know the people pretty well, then?
15265You mean it will stand in law?
15265You mean the Smiths of Boston?
15265You mean you can pay what we ask?
15265You mean youse gwine to git yo''livin''off it?
15265You remember our visit to Senator Smith?
15265You wished to see-- Caroline Wynn?
15265You would not like me to act dishonestly, would you?
15265You''d let a nigger vote?
15265You''ve found some things worth knowing in this world, have n''t you, Zora?
15265Zora,he said,"sometimes you tell lies, do n''t you?"
15265Zora,she faltered,"will you leave me?"
15265Zora,she presently broke into the girl''s absorption,"how would you like to be Ambassador to France?"
15265Zora,she said evenly,"why did n''t you come to class when I called?"
15265Zora--he gasped,"how-- how did you do it?"
15265Zora? 15265 Zora?"
15265_ The_ problem, you mean?
15265A horror crept over Mary Cresswell: where had she lived that she had seen so little before?
15265After all why should he care?
15265After all, he kept saying to himself, what guarantee, what knowledge had he that this was not a"damned Yankee trick"?
15265After all, which was worse-- a Cresswell or an Alwyn?
15265After all, why should n''t it be?
15265Ai n''t that all?"
15265Always before she had been veiled from these folk: who had put the veil there?
15265Alwyn?"
15265Alwyn?"
15265And Bles-- was Miss Taylor deceived?--or was he chuckling?
15265And Carrie Wynn-- poor Carrie, with her pride and position dragged down in his ruin: how would she take it?
15265And how much have you paid a year?"
15265And if it were?
15265And suppose I had?"
15265And then, brightening, he asked gayly:"And we''ll be friends always, wo n''t we?"
15265And who could furnish that illumination better than Zora, the calm, methodical Zora, who knew them so well?
15265And why are you afraid for her?"
15265And why not?"
15265And yet, once in the hands of these past- masters of debt- manipulation, would her school be safe?
15265And yet, why should she hesitate?
15265And you graduated, I suppose, and all that?"
15265And, Sam, ca n''t you find us a sandwich and something cool?
15265Anything on?"
15265Are you blind?
15265Are you dumb?
15265Are you willing to try?"
15265Are you?"
15265As the black porter passed her she said gently:"Is smoking allowed in here?"
15265As the two white riders approached the buggy one said to the other:"Who''s that nigger with?"
15265At any rate, who was better?
15265At last, however, she said happily to Zora:"Well, the battle''s over, is n''t it?"
15265Aye, face it boldly-- what?
15265Bles, where was he?
15265But Bles asked coldly:"Why did n''t you have him arrested?"
15265But before?"
15265But could she do it?
15265But could she live?
15265But did he desire her as a wife?
15265But do you know I like the girl?
15265But do you know that we''re encountering opposition from the most unexpected source?"
15265But how about the Smith School?
15265But how had it been saved?
15265But if she talked again of mere men would these devotees listen?
15265But if she went there what would she see and do, and would it be possible to become such a woman as Miss Smith pictured?
15265But if she were especially invited?
15265But it does n''t, does it?"
15265But these are not my children, they are the children of Negroes; we ca n''t quite forget that, can we?"
15265But to Miss Taylor:"I beg pardon-- er-- Miss Smith?"
15265But what did I say so funny?"
15265But what does it matter?
15265But what of that?
15265But who?
15265But why lonely?
15265But would she make a satisfactory maid?
15265But, pshaw!--he poured himself a glass of brandy-- was he not rich and young?
15265By the way, what did that letter say about a''sister''?"
15265Ca n''t we keep wages where we like by threatening to bring in nigger labor?"
15265Can you be ready by eleven?"
15265Child?
15265Could it be possible that all unconsciously she had dared dream a forbidden dream?
15265Could it be that this Negro had dared to misunderstand her-- had presumed?
15265Could she be brought back to a useful life?
15265Cresswell?"
15265Cresswell?"
15265Cresswell?"
15265Did God ask that, too?
15265Did John think she had nothing else to do?
15265Did colored people attend the ball?
15265Did he know of the mortgage, too?
15265Did he understand?
15265Did n''t you see her while she was here?
15265Did she intend to exhibit?
15265Did she want him to find her?
15265Did you notice how unhealthy the children looked?
15265Do n''t they ever get there?"
15265Do n''t we own the mill?
15265Do n''t you remember those fine bales of cotton that came out of there several seasons ago?"
15265Do n''t you see the two schemes ca n''t mix?
15265Do n''t you see you''re planning to cut off your noses?
15265Do n''t you want to come up and help me look?"
15265Do you dance and laugh, and hear and see not?
15265Do you expect to buy that land for five dollars an acre?"
15265Do you know the man that stands ready to gobble up every inch of cotton land in this country at a price which no trust can hope to rival?"
15265Do you know-- I''ve wondered if-- quite unconciously, it is you?
15265Do you think the plantation system can be maintained without laborers?
15265Does n''t Cresswell know this?"
15265Does one"appeal"to the red- eyed beast that throttles him?
15265Dr. Boldish, naturally the appointed spokesman, looked helplessly about and whispered to Mrs. Vanderpool:"What on earth shall I talk about?"
15265Ever met him?"
15265Faith without works is dead; who is you that dares to set and wait for the Lord to do your work?"
15265Fight?
15265Find out for us just what this revolt is, how far it goes, and what good men we can get to swing the darkies into line-- see?"
15265From the other side the words came distinctly and clearly:"--other children, doctor?"
15265From these Southerners?"
15265Glad?
15265Had Mrs. Stillings heard of the new art movement?
15265Had Zora thought of them?
15265Had he dreamed?
15265Had he seen a haunt?
15265Had it been real?
15265Had she herself hung it before her soul, or had they hidden timidly behind its other side?
15265Had she met this stately ceremony with enough breeding to show that she too was somebody?
15265Had you heard?"
15265Harry Cresswell laid his hand on his father''s arm and said quietly:"And where do we come in?"
15265Harry Cresswell was not a bad man-- are there any bad men?
15265Has John written you?"
15265Have I got a little of the year''s wage coming to me?"
15265Have I made my clothes and food?
15265Have I paid my old debts to you?
15265Have you a young man named Alwyn on your eligible list?
15265Have you seen this?"
15265He bent to her fiercely:"Who?"
15265He frowned as he noted the footprints pointing to Elspeth''s-- what did Mary Taylor want there?
15265He had not thought that white people had such troubles; yet, he reflected, why not?
15265He leaned against his hoe and talked half dreamily-- where had he learned so well that dream- talk?
15265He watched her silently, till, waking from her daydream, she abruptly asked:"Where you from?"
15265Helen regarded her brother through her veiling lashes: what meant this sudden assumption of warmth and amiability?
15265Her heart answered back:"What is impossible to youth and resolution?"
15265Her little hands groped and wandered over his close- curled hair, and she sobbed, deep voiced:"Will you-- marry me, Bles?"
15265His voice came slow and firm:"Emma?
15265Hit''s hot, ai n''t it?
15265How could she find out?
15265How dares the black puppy to ignore a Cresswell on the highway?
15265How goes the great battle for black men''s rights?
15265How is she, and where?"
15265How is you?"
15265How large is your place?"
15265How much had Mrs. Cresswell ever known of Zora?
15265How much?
15265I do n''t like work-- do you?"
15265I found''em and I dassen''t sell''em open, see?
15265I hope John''s well?"
15265I said:"''Judge, a friend is expecting me at two,''it was then half- past one,''would I not best telephone?''"
15265I wanted to go in the trap-- take me?"
15265I was so afraid he would miss it and think that Right did n''t win in Life, that I wrote him--""You wrote him?
15265I wonder if I''m selling my birthright for six thousand dollars?"
15265I''d marry Carrie-- but how can I help you?"
15265I''ll put stuff into him that''ll make him wave the bloody shirt at the next meeting of the Bethel Literary-- see?
15265If his intense belief happened to be popular, all right; but if not?
15265If it failed, would not they fail?
15265If she was not careful--"But what is it you want?"
15265If the former, how far could they trust him; if the latter, what was his game?
15265If this went on, the day would surely come when Negroes felt no respect or fear whatever for whites?
15265If, now, you could drop a word here and there--""But why should I?"
15265In that time what had happened?
15265In the parlor and have the servants astounded and talking?
15265In town?"
15265In vain her shrewd New England reason asked:"What can a half- taught black girl do in this wilderness?"
15265Is it fair-- to the children?"
15265Is it fair?
15265Is it yo''s?"
15265Is it you, little wife, come back to accuse me?
15265Is n''t that your idea, Miss Smith?"
15265Is that an excuse for saying it?"
15265Is that woman''s brother going to spend this money?
15265Is that you, Mr. Cole?
15265It might rain only an hour or so, but, suppose it should rain a day-- two days-- a week?
15265It occurred to her that she had heard that name before-- but where?
15265It seemed to her that every breeze and branch was instinct with sympathy, and murmuring,"What''s the use?"
15265It was all right, and yet why so suddenly had the threads of life let go?
15265Mary?"
15265Mr. Cresswell says they own almost no land here; think of it?
15265Mrs. Vanderpool was right: culture and-- some masses, at least-- were not to be linked; and, too, culture and work-- were they incompatible?
15265Must I study five years?"
15265Must she live?
15265My father writes me that they are showing signs of expecting money right off-- is that true?
15265New York?"
15265No spontaneity either-- rather languid, did you notice?
15265Nothing?
15265Now here,_ every_thing seems to be happening; but what is it that is happening?"
15265Now, I wonder where they got the music?
15265Now, have n''t you a girl about here who would do?"
15265Now, if I get the job, how would you like to be my assistant?"
15265On the porch and have Mr. Maxwell ride up?
15265Or had it been some witch- vision of the night, come to tempt and lure him to his undoing?
15265Or was it simply a brute fact, regardless of both of them?
15265Or was the elf- girl real?
15265Or, was he happy?
15265Our?--was_ our_ right?
15265Perhaps a mortgage on the strength of the endowment?
15265See?
15265Senator Smith regarded him again: was Cresswell playing a shrewd game?
15265Shall I make him an enemy?
15265Shall I resign and beg, or go tilting at windmills?
15265Shall I try in addition to reform?
15265She answered dully, groping for words, for she was tired:"Who is it?"
15265She continued after a pause:"May I venture to ask a favor of you?"
15265She did not expect this, but she asked the porter:"Do you know where I can get a lunch?"
15265She dreamed and sang over that dark field, and again and again appealed to him:"S''pose it should n''t come up after all?"
15265She felt impelled to go forward and ask-- what?
15265She had thought of him as a boy-- an old student, a sort of confidential servant; but what had he thought?
15265She held her burning head-- was not everything plain?
15265She helped herself to a chocolate and called out musically:"Pa, are you going to town today?"
15265She must be sent to boarding- school, somewhere far away; but the money?
15265She must offer this unsullied soul up unto God in mighty atonement-- but how?
15265She rang the bell, asking the trim black maid:"Is there a person named Caroline Wynn living in this house?"
15265She seemed to feel rather than hear his presence, and she inquired softly:"Who''s it, Bles?"
15265She smiled and said sweetly,"Wo n''t you sit?"
15265She tried to think it out: what could have happened?
15265She was thinking rapidly-- Was this the Way?
15265She wondered how she had done her part-- had she been too eager and school- girlish?
15265She''ll be reasonable, wo n''t she, and placate the Cresswells?...
15265She''s planning to call some day-- shall you be at home?"
15265Should he be one?
15265Somewhat to Miss Taylor''s surprise Miss Smith said nothing until they were parting for the night, then she asked:"Was Miss Cresswell at home?"
15265Successful?
15265Suppose Mr. Alwyn should take this occasion to make a thorough defence of the party?"
15265Suppose he asked Caroline Wynn to help him in this case?
15265Suppose such a conjunction should come to pass?
15265Teerswell nodded and said:"Well, what do you think of last night?"
15265That''s the way it is now, see?
15265The Negroes are not, then, very efficient?"
15265The Silver Fleece, how was it?
15265The Sun, the Swamp?
15265The World, the great mysterious World, that stretched beyond the swamp and into which Bles and the Silver Fleece had gone-- did it lead to the Way?
15265The lagoon had been level with the dykes a week ago; and now?
15265The swamp, the eternal swamp, had been drained in its deepest fastness; but, how?--how?
15265The teacher in Miss Taylor strove to rebuke this unconventional greeting but the woman in her spoke first and asked almost before she knew it--"Why?"
15265The way where?"
15265Then Mary Taylor, whose conscience was uncomfortable, said:"But, Mr. Cresswell, you surely believe in schools like Miss Smith''s?"
15265Then Miss Taylor said, absently:"Zora, what do you propose to do when you grow up?"
15265Then after a pause:"When will you go, Zora?"
15265Then faint and fainter whisperings: what could be worse than death?
15265Then he said:"Colonel Cresswell, who drew this contract of sale?"
15265Then in sudden fury,"Ye generation of vipers-- who kin save you?"
15265Then she said dreamily:"We''se known us all our lives, and-- before, ai n''t we?"
15265Then there was Zora; what had she said and hinted to Mary?
15265Then what?
15265Then with a puzzled look:"I wonder why?"
15265They ca n''t concentrate; notice how some slept when Dr. Boldish was speaking?
15265Treat Alwyn well and call on Miss Wynn as usual-- see?"
15265Used to be one of our servants-- you remember?
15265Usually, while he played at loving, women grovelled; for was he not a Cresswell?
15265Was Cresswell back of Taylor?
15265Was Death the Way-- the wide, dark Way?
15265Was Elspeth now at peace?
15265Was it all straight, or did the whole move conceal a trick?
15265Was it not a rather dangerous experiment?
15265Was it not the King''s Highway?
15265Was it possible that the price of Alwyn''s manhood would be her husband''s appointment to Paris?
15265Was not everything clear?
15265Was there a change, sudden, cataclysmic?
15265Was there, after all, some"nigger- loving"conspiracy back of the cotton combine?
15265Was this rain beating down and back her love for him, or had she never loved?
15265Was this--"Nell''s"?
15265We''ll get this committee which Taylor suggests appointed, and send it on a junket to Alabama; you do the rest-- see?"
15265We''ll put the cotton inspection bill through in the last days of the session-- see?
15265Well, I''m going to give you some money-- do you know why?"
15265Well, why has he no appointment?
15265What a world it was, and after all how far was this black boy wrong?
15265What did he care?
15265What did he ever do?
15265What did she think?
15265What do you propose?"
15265What does de good Book say?
15265What does it look like?"
15265What else could she have dreamed?
15265What for?"
15265What good will it do?"
15265What had happened?
15265What had happened?
15265What kind of a woman was Zora now?
15265What must he pay for success?
15265What new force was he loosening against his black folk-- his own black folk, who had lived about him and his fathers nigh three hundred years?
15265What of the morning?
15265What school?"
15265What should she do?
15265What time?"
15265What was Washington, and what was this fine, tall, quiet residence?
15265What was he to her?
15265What was she doing?
15265What was the use of trying for anything?
15265What was"Nell''s"?
15265What would Elspeth do?
15265What would happen to her?
15265What would they say if he failed to get the office?
15265What''s a maid?"
15265What''s your name?"
15265What?
15265When shall I begin?"
15265Where can we get land, with Cresswell owning every inch and bound to destroy us?"
15265Where had Mrs. Cresswell seen her before?
15265Where had she known him?
15265Where is it?
15265Where should she receive him?
15265Where was that black and flaming cabin?
15265Where was the girl-- the soul that had called him?
15265Where was the poor spoiled woman?
15265Where was the use of imagining?
15265Where was"Nell''s"?
15265Where, Zora?
15265Where, and what mark?"
15265Who ever heer''d of such working land on shares?"
15265Who had rushed the news to this woman?
15265Who was caring for her, and what was she doing?
15265Who was doing it?
15265Who was he to falter when she called?
15265Who was he to stand and judge this unselfish woman?
15265Who was putting her to bed and smoothing the pillow?
15265Who would win-- the witch, or Jason?
15265Who''s responsible?"
15265Who, then, should be nominated?
15265Whom do you think that''s for?"
15265Why had he not known?
15265Why had he not stood his ground?
15265Why had it not occurred to her before in her blindness?
15265Why had neither Mary nor John Taylor mentioned this?
15265Why had she asked for her?
15265Why had she asked for this girl?
15265Why had she not bound him to her?
15265Why had they not let her see the child-- just one look at its little dead face?
15265Why had they stolen from her?
15265Why is you trying to make dis ole world better?
15265Why not go back to the South where she had gone?
15265Why not go see him?
15265Why not send Zora?
15265Why not take this young man in hand and make a Negro leader of him-- a protagonist of ten millions?
15265Why not?
15265Why should he be elbowed into the roadside dust by an insolent bully?
15265Why should he not be as other men?
15265Why should he pose as better than his fellows?
15265Why should not he go back, too?
15265Why should we who have sacrifice the substance for the shadow?"
15265Why should you spoil this black girl and put impossible ideas into her head?
15265Why was it?
15265Why was she drifting in vast waters; in uncharted wastes of sea?
15265Why was she restless and vaguely ill at ease so often these days?
15265Why were her eyes wet today and her mind on the Silver Fleece?
15265Why worry with more?"
15265Why, are you daft?
15265Why?
15265Why?
15265Will you go South with Mr. Cresswell?
15265Will you go?"
15265Will you hear?
15265Will you marry me?"
15265Wo n''t you take a stand on some of these progressive matters-- this bill, or the Child Labor movement, or Low Tariff legislation?"
15265Would Rob become a tenant when she asked?
15265Would Uncle Isaac help her build a log home?
15265Would Zora make one or would this blow send her to perdition?
15265Would he be amenable to her training and become worldly wise?
15265Would not comradeship on the basis of the new friendship which she insisted on, be the death of love and thoughts of love?
15265Would she go?
15265Would she, could she, lay aside her pride and cynicism, her dainty ways and little extravagances?
15265Would the boys help her some time to clear some swamp land?
15265Would they fall?
15265Would this woman recognize that fact and respect him accordingly?
15265Would you like it?"
15265Yes-- how about Mrs. Grey''s education schemes?...
15265Yes?"
15265Yet how should she do it?
15265You can wheel the planters into line-- will you do it?"
15265You do n''t really expect to keep the darkies down forever, do you?"
15265You never had a witch for a mammy-- did you?"
15265You remember that day when Mr. Easterly called?"
15265You see?
15265You surely remember that awful scarlet dress?
15265_ Eleven_ THE FLOWERING OF THE FLEECE"Zora,"observed Miss Smith,"it''s a great blessing not to need spectacles, is n''t it?"
15265_ Thirty- one_ A PARTING OF WAYS"Was the child born dead?"
15265bang!_"Who''s that?"
15265do n''t you love to be frank and open?"
15265inwardly commented Miss Taylor--"literally born in cotton, and-- Oh, well,"as much as to ask,"What''s the use?"
15265it is n''t as bad as that all over the world, is it?"
15265now where is that paper?"
15265on Saturday?"
15265vaguely--"dreams?
15265was not all her life simply the want of him?--why had she not bound him to her when he had offered himself?
15265where do you teach?"
15265where is she?
