777 | ''If a boy can interest a crowd with a little kite, why ca n''t a man interest a whole nation?'' 777 Can it be easily driven? |
777 | Is there not some strange power in the atmosphere which makes the smoke from chimneys and elsewhere rise in opposition to the force of gravity? 777 Was the machine a''freak''monoplane?" |
777 | Why does smoke rise? |
777 | Will there be air- fleets in future, manned by the soldiers or sailors? |
777 | Would not a rudder be of use? |
777 | And is not this, after all, one of the chief, distinctions between man and the lower orders of creation? |
777 | And where is the little airman while all this crowd is gathering? |
777 | But were these ideas of any practical value? |
777 | Could the intrepid Brazilian in his wildest dreams have foreseen the rapid advance of the last eight years? |
777 | Does he guess at the distance he is above the earth? |
777 | Have you ever found yourself in a boat on a calm day, drifting idly down stream, and going just as fast as the stream goes? |
777 | Have you ever tried to stand on your hands with your feet upwards for any length of time? |
777 | How is it that he did not succeed in flying, if he had most of the component parts of an aeroplane as we know it to- day? |
777 | If so, can not we discover this power, and apply it to the service of mankind?" |
777 | Is he very excited? |
777 | Is not all that marvellous, and does it not constitute a complete specification for everything in aviation? |
60747 | Anything the matter? |
60747 | Bag? 60747 Cab?" |
60747 | Can I help you? |
60747 | Do you have my suitcase? |
60747 | It''s all right now? |
60747 | Now will you please tell me what this is all about? |
60747 | One left over, eh? |
60747 | See anybody go out of here with a little red bag and an old battered suitcase? |
60747 | Were you really asleep that time? |
60747 | Where are we? |
60747 | Who is Joe? |
60747 | Would it be all right if we did n''t bother to report it? |
60747 | And then what? |
60747 | Besides, what good would it do? |
60747 | But he was eying me with a"well- why- don''t- you- get- along?" |
60747 | But what could I do? |
60747 | Ca n''t we walk a little?" |
60747 | How many minutes-- or seconds-- were left? |
60747 | I had to stay to keep the balance wheel stationary until-- until what? |
60747 | I said gently,"Why would he want to do a thing like that?" |
60747 | I said,"What happens if nobody claims it?" |
60747 | I used to think that some day I''d make a lot of money out of it, but how? |
60747 | I watched it for a moment, then walked back to the entranceway where Julia was standing with the redcap, who said,"That man steal them suitcases?" |
60747 | She just said,"Why?" |
60747 | Suitcase?" |
60747 | The girl said,"Why?" |
60747 | The officer said,"Yes, miss?" |
60747 | Why?" |
21791 | Am I on my right course? 21791 And now, please, will you explain your duties?" |
21791 | And what can the Pilot do to save such a situation as that? |
21791 | And who on earth are they? |
21791 | But who in the name of blue sky is this? |
21791 | Discipline is it? |
21791 | Do you think you''re the only one with troubles? 21791 Elongate, you little devils, would you?" |
21791 | How do you like the machine? |
21791 | Ignition off? |
21791 | Is this what you mean? |
21791 | Jolly good gliding angle,says someone; and another,"Beautifully quick controls, what?" |
21791 | Oh, now I begin to see light,said she;"but just exactly how does it work?" |
21791 | Petrol on? |
21791 | Suppose we think about finishing it now? 21791 That''s quite clear, though rather unexpected; but how do you counteract the effect of the gusts when they try to overturn the Aeroplane sideways?" |
21791 | That''s very pretty,said the Observer,"but how about Mechanical Difficulties, and Efficiency in respect of Flight? |
21791 | The real thing, is it? |
21791 | Well, what result? |
21791 | What can the Rudder have to do with you? |
21791 | What''s going to happen to us then? 21791 Whatever do you mean?" |
21791 | You''ll never leave me now, when at last there is no one between us? |
21791 | A strain on the Pilot? |
21791 | And Efficiency, blushing very prettily at the compliment, then asked,"And how does the Centre of Gravity affect matters?" |
21791 | And Efficiency, smiling and blushing, but practical as ever, says:"And you will never throw those Compromises in my face?" |
21791 | And a body to fix them in, and tanks for oil and petrol, and a tail, and,"archly,"one of those dashing young Pilots, what?" |
21791 | And now will you tell me, please, how the greatest Speed may be secured?" |
21791 | And the Blackboard obligingly showed them as follows:[ Illustration]"Well, what do you think of that?" |
21791 | And the Fabric''s quite mixed in its mind, and ejaculates,"Now, who would have thought I got more Lift from the top of the Surface than its bottom?" |
21791 | And then truculently to the Distance Pieces, which run from rib to rib,"Just keep the Ribs from rolling, will you? |
21791 | And then--"Contact?" |
21791 | And what''s the use of grousing? |
21791 | And"How is the Engine running?" |
21791 | And, anyway, why has n''t such an obvious thing been done already?" |
21791 | Anxiously he wondered"Are tunnels always straight?" |
21791 | But what is this stream of bad language from the Exhaust Pipe, accompanied by gouts of smoke and vapour? |
21791 | But what''s this? |
21791 | Ca n''t I do better than that?" |
21791 | Can I see a good landing- ground within gliding distance?" |
21791 | Dear me, there are a lot more of us to- day, are n''t there? |
21791 | Deserted, did I say? |
21791 | Do n''t you think I ought to have a glimmering of them too?" |
21791 | Had n''t we better get the engine and body covers off, just in case it''s really so?" |
21791 | Have n''t I been through it too? |
21791 | Have n''t they been my life ever since I began striving for you ten long years ago?" |
21791 | How are we going to keep our adjustments upon which good flying depends?" |
21791 | How can I describe them? |
21791 | How does that suit you?" |
21791 | Invading the realms of fancy? |
21791 | It really begins to look something like the real thing, eh?" |
21791 | Just thrust that chalk along, will you? |
21791 | Lives there the man who can adequately describe this Wonder? |
21791 | Now do you see? |
21791 | Now where can that lake be which the map shows so plainly? |
21791 | Now which is it to be?" |
21791 | Now who''s Master?" |
21791 | Oh, where is he who will invent a contrivance to keep me supplied with air of right density and quality? |
21791 | Special Reserve, you say? |
21791 | The point is, you press a button and----""Look here,"said a Strut, rather pointedly,"where do you think you are going, anyway?" |
21791 | There will have to be an Engine and Propeller, wo n''t there? |
21791 | Turning to the Flight- Sergeant he inquires,"Tanks full of petrol and oil?" |
21791 | What did he do? |
21791 | What do you say?" |
21791 | What is that bright silver streak all along the horizon? |
21791 | What old hand among them is there who can not instance many a forced landing made pleasant by such hospitality? |
21791 | What pilot is there indeed who has not many times experienced such unpleasant sensation? |
21791 | What was that? |
21791 | What''s your Regiment? |
21791 | What_ will_ the Designer say?" |
21791 | Where''s Efficiency?" |
21791 | Who is bold enough to say what its limits shall be? |
21791 | You wo n''t mind showing us your Calculations, Working Drawings, Stress Diagrams, etc., will you?" |
21791 | [ 3] Eh?" |
21791 | [ Footnote 12: Getting out of my depth? |
21791 | [ Illustration] But Efficiency, growing rather critical with her newly gained knowledge, cried out:"But where''s the horizontal Tail Surface? |
21791 | [ Illustration]"And now,"said Efficiency,"I have only to meet the Ailerons and the Rudder, have n''t I?" |
21791 | cry all the Wires in unison,"have n''t we got our troubles too? |
21791 | despairingly call the Planes;"it''s eloping with the Lift, and what in the name of Gravity will happen? |
12947 | A bomb, you say? 12947 And what are you doing here?" |
12947 | But Hugh, who could it be trying out this awful explosive, and wanting to do it where no curious eyes could watch the operation? |
12947 | But I''m sure I read lately that there has been talk of limiting the activities of air craft in war times? |
12947 | But Ralph, you said there were no bears around here any more, so how could that be? |
12947 | But do n''t shooting stars generally fall in the summer time, Hugh? |
12947 | But how do you know that that impression was n''t made twenty- four hours ago? |
12947 | But what would a flier be doing away up here, going around and around in the dark of night? |
12947 | But, Hugh, what could it have been then? |
12947 | By going on and breaking in on him, you mean? |
12947 | Can you fix him up, Ralph? |
12947 | Did n''t you see that--- where were your eyes that you did n''t see what poked out of the open door just then? |
12947 | Did you fetch a blanket along with you, Ralph? |
12947 | Did you recognize that face, Ralph? |
12947 | Do meteors explode when they hit the earth, Hugh? |
12947 | Do you mean to tell me that it was n''t a meteor that made all that racket the last two nights? |
12947 | Do you think after that bombardment that they''ll be apt to clear out and give over trying to learn what Uncle Sam is up to? |
12947 | Eh? 12947 How about you going in and telling him his room is better than his company?" |
12947 | How did you find the honey tree,---by tracking the bees up the usual way? |
12947 | How long will it take you to get your little machine dismantled, so we can handle it, Bud? |
12947 | How shall we put in the rest of the day? |
12947 | How''ll we get him out of there? |
12947 | Hugh, did n''t we close that door when we came away; seems to me I can remember doing the same, after you told me it was best? |
12947 | I think you said he looked a little like the German type, was n''t that about it, Ralph? |
12947 | I was wondering whether those two men you saw could have had anything to do with that queer crash and flash? |
12947 | I wonder if you can be the same Lieutenant Fosdick I''ve heard so much about from our Scout Master, a retired army officer named Lieutenant Denmead? |
12947 | Is that so? |
12947 | Meaning an aeroplane? |
12947 | No doubt about what happened now, is there? |
12947 | Perhaps you''ll make it two, if we decide to stay that long, eh, Ralph? |
12947 | See that tree lying there chopped down? |
12947 | So that''s what you call a war aeroplane, is it? |
12947 | Sure you left them there on the pile of blankets, are you? |
12947 | Then it''s all right, after all? |
12947 | Then they are different from all others, I take it? |
12947 | Then what made it, Hugh? |
12947 | Then what opened it, do you think? |
12947 | Then you do n''t think it could be a hobo? |
12947 | W--- what''s that? |
12947 | We''re just as anxious as you are to make some sort of discovery, eh, Hugh? |
12947 | Well, well, who''d think you would drop in on me as if you came from the skies? |
12947 | Well, what are we going to do about it? |
12947 | What are we going to do next? |
12947 | What did you find out, Hugh? |
12947 | What did you think I was, Bud, a mule, or a Chinese porter used to carrying as much as half a ton on his back? |
12947 | What is it, Ralph? |
12947 | What is that, my boy? |
12947 | What''s doing now, Bud? |
12947 | What''s the matter with you? |
12947 | Whatever can he be doing all by himself up here? |
12947 | Whatever can it mean? |
12947 | Where would the genius of a Napoleon have been,remarked Lieutenant Fosdick in turn,"if aeroplanes had been in common use as far back as Waterloo? |
12947 | Which is to add to his alarm, I suppose? |
12947 | Which one, would you say? |
12947 | Who in the dickens was it? |
12947 | Whoever can it be? |
12947 | Why, what else would you expect? |
12947 | Would these foreign spies dare attempt to ruin your war aeroplane, or try to blow you all up with some of your own explosive? |
12947 | Yes,added the other, quickly,"but if that''s what they were, why should they act so queer? |
12947 | ''Cause why? |
12947 | And I toted that all the way up here from the road, did I? |
12947 | And in this country of ours, who can say what the future holds for any lad? |
12947 | And now, shall we gather it up again and carry it to the cabin?" |
12947 | And say, does n''t it strike you as funny that just one solitary meteor should take a notion to explode each night?" |
12947 | And so he is spending his spare time in teaching the young idea how to shoot, but with the arms of peace rather than those of bloody war? |
12947 | And sounds can be heard a long way off after sunset, ca n''t they, Hugh?" |
12947 | And would they send out a rank odor like that?" |
12947 | And you say that they''ve clean disappeared, have they, Bud?" |
12947 | Bears do n''t eat dried weeds, do they? |
12947 | Bud remarked; and then quickly added:"But how about the tenth time, Ralph?" |
12947 | But then, they were up here to enjoy themselves, and what better way could they find of doing this than by feasting on real camp cooking? |
12947 | But what makes you ask that, Bud?" |
12947 | But what was this you said about one of your mates inventing something in connection with the management of aeroplanes? |
12947 | But you said your mother was not feeling well; and so perhaps the feast has been postponed at your house to a more convenient time?" |
12947 | Could that have been a meteor bursting, do you think, Hugh?" |
12947 | Do n''t forget to take that, will you?" |
12947 | Do n''t you agree with me, Ralph?" |
12947 | Do you see it yet, boys? |
12947 | Does it strike you that way, too, Hugh?" |
12947 | Get that, do n''t you, Bud?" |
12947 | Have you got cups and such things along in your packs, boys?" |
12947 | How about that, Ralph?" |
12947 | How do you know that?" |
12947 | I''m glad we got off as well as we did, are n''t you, Hugh?" |
12947 | Indeed, it was hardly half a minute later when Bud came to a sudden halt, at the same time saying in a hoarse whisper:"Hugh, look there, will you? |
12947 | Oh, Hugh, that was why the old aeroplane kept circling all around, was n''t it? |
12947 | Say, Hugh, we did n''t expect such a bully treat as this, did we, when we aimed to get here in time to cook supper?" |
12947 | Seems to me I get a whiff of cooking, do n''t you?" |
12947 | Served me right, too, but, anyhow, she worked, Hugh, did n''t she?" |
12947 | Suppose there happened to be some desperate men hiding up here in these woods, say counterfeiters, for instance? |
12947 | There, what did I tell you, Ralph?" |
12947 | They were not tramps, Ralph?" |
12947 | Want to know why?" |
12947 | What d''ye think he''ll do next?" |
12947 | What did I lay down here? |
12947 | What did they do that looked suspicious?" |
12947 | What do you think of the meanness of that? |
12947 | What does he seem to be doing now, Bud?" |
12947 | What if she had dropped right down on top of this shanty, boys? |
12947 | What was the use of spoiling his pleasure for that glorious day? |
12947 | What was the use? |
12947 | Whatever are you doing up here, Hugh and Bud?" |
12947 | When you do, please put me wise, wo n''t you?" |
12947 | Why do n''t we get a move on and chase after him? |
12947 | Will we just try to shoo him away, or give him a few cold chunks\ of lead?" |
12947 | Wonder if it would make him run any faster if you banged away a couple of times with your gun, Ralph?" |
12947 | Would n''t two such men want to scrape an acquaintance with us scouts, so as to get a few pointers? |
12947 | You agree with me, do n''t you, Hugh?" |
12947 | did you see that, fellows? |
12947 | do n''t I hope it turns out that way, though? |
12947 | do you really think so, Hugh?" |
12947 | that seems queer, does n''t it?" |
45485 | Alive? |
45485 | All set? |
45485 | And then? |
45485 | And will the radio detector work at that height? |
45485 | Any news? |
45485 | Anything of special value on tonight? |
45485 | Anything that looks familiar? |
45485 | Anything to show that Ralph was hurt? |
45485 | Are n''t you going to telephone the Fort you''re coming? |
45485 | Are you ill? |
45485 | But how about Ralph? |
45485 | But how? |
45485 | Ca n''t you make it? |
45485 | Can a bronco do stunts like that? |
45485 | Can you start on another assignment right away? |
45485 | Did n''t see anyone? |
45485 | Did you hear any strange sounds? |
45485 | Do n''t you want something to eat? |
45485 | Do you still want to beat up on him? |
45485 | Do you think they were caught in the wreckage? |
45485 | Do you think this may have something to do with the old Sky Hawk gang? |
45485 | Find anything else? |
45485 | Find anything of the fireman? |
45485 | Get them? |
45485 | Going to try and run the fire? |
45485 | Got enough pictures? |
45485 | Have any idea what he wants? |
45485 | Have they been warned to watch for us and get in the clear when we start dropping the bombs? |
45485 | Have you any clues? |
45485 | Have you found any trace of either of them, except the fingerprints, near the scene of the attempted robbery? |
45485 | Have you planned your trip back? |
45485 | Hello, Murphy,said the officer,"what''s this I hear about you fellows running through a piece of burning timber?" |
45485 | How about an autogyro? |
45485 | How about it, old man? |
45485 | How about the chances you''ve been taking? |
45485 | How are you? 45485 How did they happen to get so close?" |
45485 | How did you find out about it? |
45485 | How did you happen to fall out of the cab? |
45485 | How did you like the ride? |
45485 | How does the new engine sound? |
45485 | How fast will you travel? |
45485 | How is the mail? |
45485 | How is the situation in the valley? |
45485 | How much? |
45485 | Interested? |
45485 | Is it safe to go up on a picture assignment for photos of those burning oil tanks? |
45485 | Is n''t Ralph in; have n''t you heard from him? |
45485 | Is n''t my work up to standard? |
45485 | Is the_ Good News_ in condition to fly? |
45485 | Is there any chance that you''ll lend it to me for a few days? |
45485 | Just what for? |
45485 | Notice anything peculiar about the fire while you were lying here? |
45485 | Plane all ready to go? |
45485 | Remember how you chased the Sky Hawk when he had the death ray? |
45485 | Say, what the dickens have you been doing to this plane? |
45485 | See anything of Ralph? |
45485 | Someone get caught in the mountains? |
45485 | Stay here? 45485 Sure you want to get to the airport?" |
45485 | Sure you''ve got warm enough clothes? 45485 Then the stories we''ve uncovered in the last year have justified the expense of the plane?" |
45485 | Then you''ve guessed what they must be using? |
45485 | Trying to read''footprints in the sands of time''? |
45485 | Well, what do you think of that? |
45485 | Were you trying to put us all in the ditch? |
45485 | What about the condition of the_ Good News_? |
45485 | What are the latest reports? |
45485 | What are the people doing? |
45485 | What are they doing? |
45485 | What are you going to do now? |
45485 | What are you going to do? |
45485 | What are you looking so gloomy about? |
45485 | What bank? |
45485 | What did Carson say? |
45485 | What did you find? |
45485 | What direction did they head? |
45485 | What do you mean? |
45485 | What do you mean? |
45485 | What do you say to accepting the invitation Hank Cummins extended to visit at the Circle Four ranch for a month? |
45485 | What do you think of it? |
45485 | What do you want? |
45485 | What for? |
45485 | What news now? |
45485 | What news? |
45485 | What will we do? |
45485 | What''s clicking in the old bean? |
45485 | What''s the idea? |
45485 | What''s the matter, Carl? |
45485 | What''s this about Ralph being kidnapped? |
45485 | What''s this about an attempt at a million dollar robbery? |
45485 | What''s wrong? |
45485 | What''s your name? |
45485 | Where am I? 45485 Where are you going to eat tonight?" |
45485 | Where is the reporter you kidnapped? |
45485 | Where to? |
45485 | Where was it? |
45485 | Who were on the ships? |
45485 | Who''s talking? |
45485 | Why did n''t you tell him about the strange marks we found? |
45485 | Why not? |
45485 | Will it bump and jump around badly? |
45485 | Wo n''t they get suspicious of what you''re up to? |
45485 | Would half an hour make a great deal of difference? |
45485 | You did n''t waste much time when you first stopped for the fire did you? |
45485 | You mean the Sky Hawk''s old gang? |
45485 | You mean to tell me you let them steal your plane? |
45485 | You say you needed two men? |
45485 | You think it may be some members of the old Sky Hawk gang? |
45485 | But what else can I do?" |
45485 | How about writing the story for the_ News_ before you turn in?" |
45485 | How did you ever get out alive?" |
45485 | How did you find the Flint hills?" |
45485 | How do you feel?" |
45485 | How would you like to ride the cab of the mail down to Vinton?" |
45485 | Is Lewis all right?" |
45485 | K.?" |
45485 | Pleasant prospect, is n''t it?" |
45485 | Same color job as before?" |
45485 | Supposing he struck a mud puddle and nosed over? |
45485 | Turning to the field manager, he asked,"Have you got a spare wheel that will fit that ship?" |
45485 | Was there a chance that the pilot had survived the crash? |
45485 | What could Ralph have been doing; what had he run into that had resulted in his kidnapping? |
45485 | What say, boys?" |
45485 | What say?" |
45485 | What''s happened?" |
45485 | Where''s Ralph? |
45485 | Who fired for the rest of the run?" |
45485 | Who would want to kidnap him and how had they done it? |
45494 | All ashore who are going ashore? |
45494 | All set? |
45494 | Anything interesting? |
45494 | Are they getting specimens? |
45494 | At what-- be yourself or tell me what has set you off-- I do n''t see anything to laugh at--"No? |
45494 | Buddy, I say, Old Timer, where are you? |
45494 | Bugs drive you out of the sky? |
45494 | But suppose we do not find them, or find they have been killed? |
45494 | Can all the natives speak English? |
45494 | Can we get them out? |
45494 | Can you walk now? |
45494 | Did n''t you have a blooming thing? |
45494 | Did one of them look into your eyes? |
45494 | Did you happen to see the butterfly flight? 45494 Do n''t they know the professor will come back with their families?" |
45494 | Do n''t those boys want something to eat? |
45494 | Do n''t you think you''d better take word to the settlement? 45494 Do they mind being away off alone?" |
45494 | Does he have to conduct the investigation in that particular spot? |
45494 | Does he own the earth? |
45494 | Does n''t she miss them? |
45494 | Eh, why did n''t you tell him it was a relation of the green emerald rings? |
45494 | Ever see him before? |
45494 | Figuring that we tramped twelve or fifteen hours all together, how many miles do you believe we covered? |
45494 | Good Heavens, what they got into? |
45494 | Gordon, who the blazes is Gordon? |
45494 | Got the luggage? |
45494 | Great heavens, was he insane? |
45494 | Have you got any guns aboard? |
45494 | Hear it now? |
45494 | Hey, Mills, what''s the matter with you? |
45494 | His fortune, how do you make that out? |
45494 | Hoping they''ll come out on that hill? |
45494 | How are we going to do it? |
45494 | How are we going to manage it? |
45494 | How can you bring our children back? |
45494 | How did you happen to be here? |
45494 | I say, who else are you expecting? |
45494 | I''ve been in these parts many years and I''ve seen queer things--"Jinks, is n''t there any end to the curse? |
45494 | If we send air men in after him are they likely to be in danger? |
45494 | Is he dead? |
45494 | Is that a threat or a promise? |
45494 | Is there likely to be more than one passage through the Black Woods? |
45494 | Like to take one home? |
45494 | No? 45494 No?" |
45494 | No? |
45494 | No? |
45494 | O--"Is something the matter? |
45494 | Oh, you do n''t? 45494 Or only an extra pair of socks?" |
45494 | Remember the chart readings? |
45494 | Say, am I so funny? |
45494 | Say, how do you get that way? |
45494 | Say, where do you think you are going to take us? |
45494 | Say, you guys know the way outta here''cept by plane? |
45494 | See anyone else? |
45494 | Shall I give you a pinch so you''ll be sure you are awake? |
45494 | Stopped and looked at Mills? |
45494 | Suits me,answered Captain Seaman crisply, then he turned to his wife,"Care to hop home with me, dear?" |
45494 | Suppose he''s alive? |
45494 | Suppose it could be the top of some temple that''s been buried by earthquakes? |
45494 | Suppose we were there more than one round of the clock? |
45494 | Sure that water did n''t knock you out? |
45494 | Sure, en ai nt they outta luck? |
45494 | Taking them both? |
45494 | Tell us about this thing, will you? |
45494 | Thank God you are safe, but, what was the idea? |
45494 | That''s the place Martin is managing, is n''t it? |
45494 | The man you said that you left back there? |
45494 | The thoughtful lad who carted the gas to the plane when we were on the Island coming down with your dad? |
45494 | There''s a plane here--"A plane? |
45494 | Think we been traveling for hours with nothing in our stomachs? |
45494 | Think we''d better let him go? |
45494 | Thinking of taking some of them off? |
45494 | Those kids--"What you waiting for? |
45494 | Those white butterflies flew over your head? |
45494 | Turn that gat, you fool--"Who took it? |
45494 | Until the last butterfly passes? |
45494 | Well, what''s this? |
45494 | What are you carrying? |
45494 | What are you doing here? |
45494 | What did he look like? |
45494 | What do you expect to learn around here, Buddy? 45494 What for?" |
45494 | What happened to you? |
45494 | What in heck? |
45494 | What in the name of cat- soup and fish is the matter with you? |
45494 | What is it? |
45494 | What you doing here? |
45494 | What you fellows doing here? |
45494 | What you got on your mind? 45494 What''s it all about?" |
45494 | What''s left? |
45494 | What''s the matter? |
45494 | When do we eat? |
45494 | Where have you been--"Are you hurt? |
45494 | Where in the name of Mark Antony did he go? |
45494 | Where is Professor Martin? |
45494 | Where is it? |
45494 | Where''s the rest of the stuff? |
45494 | Why not wait until she is fixed up then come back in her? |
45494 | Why remind us of that? 45494 Will you send to search for Mills?" |
45494 | Wind, how do you make that out? |
45494 | Would n''t you prefer to be flying? |
45494 | Yeh, when we get out, then what? |
45494 | Yes, his name is Mills and he''s gone crazy--"Crazy? |
45494 | Yes? |
45494 | You did n''t catch anything from Mills, did you? |
45494 | You fellows want a bomb or two right in the middle of you? |
45494 | You mean those with the professor? |
45494 | You were beside your step- brother, would you please tell us this part of the story as you saw it? |
45494 | All set, Old Man?" |
45494 | Can you cover the machine up so if any one flies over she would n''t stick out like a sore thumb?" |
45494 | Do you understand?" |
45494 | GHOSTS"Hey, what are you waiting for?" |
45494 | Going around by the woods?" |
45494 | Got any more batteries?" |
45494 | How do you feel since you had something to eat?" |
45494 | How many women and children did they leave behind?" |
45494 | I got you down without a smashup, did n''t I? |
45494 | I was a baby and he and his wife have been most--""Why not skip that part?" |
45494 | If the bugs forced you down, what you doing over here? |
45494 | Is anyone in the house?" |
45494 | It may be hours before we wake up and in the meantime there''s a white man back there--""A white man?" |
45494 | Like to hop inside and freshen up a bit?" |
45494 | Now, Doctor, how about that pilot-- should he be taken to a hospital?" |
45494 | Now, where is that plane? |
45494 | See that scaffolding way up high?" |
45494 | See the other chap?" |
45494 | Shall we leave it here, or one of us fly it?" |
45494 | There is something about this Butterfly Flight; what is it Doc?" |
45494 | Think we''d better stay here?" |
45494 | We had a report tube we were taking home to Jim''s father, but you''re all wet-- too late--""What do you mean?" |
45494 | Well, what do you reckon''s the matter with them rings?" |
45494 | What''s the matter with the rings?" |
45494 | When did he steal it?" |
45494 | When do we eat?" |
45494 | Where did you get those rings you are wearing?" |
45494 | Where do you hail from?" |
45494 | Where is that tube?" |
45494 | Where''s Martin?" |
45494 | Why in blazes did n''t you find out what was in it?" |
41458 | And he heard the engine? |
41458 | And leave it to be identified in a few hours''time by the engine marks? |
41458 | And why do you want me? |
41458 | Are you sure? |
41458 | Better now? |
41458 | But I wonder when and how it will be? 41458 But how did you know of him?" |
41458 | But how have you managed that? |
41458 | But how is it done? |
41458 | But how on earth did he get there? |
41458 | But how on earth did you learn I was in Fenways? |
41458 | But how? |
41458 | But what about Lympne? |
41458 | But what could it have been? |
41458 | But what kind of trap? |
41458 | But what makes you so certain? |
41458 | But, Professor,asked the Premier,"do you really mean that nothing whatever can be done to check or prevent this terrible malady?" |
41458 | But, my dear Yvette,he stammered,"you do n''t mean to say you intend--?" |
41458 | Can you come to Paris? 41458 Did n''t she tell you about it?" |
41458 | Did you ever see a dog with hands, Dick? |
41458 | Did you see? |
41458 | Do you know a man named Lenart Gronvold? |
41458 | Do you mean to say he is in it? |
41458 | Do you mean to say that that is the room in the house on the opposite side of the road? |
41458 | Do you mind telling me how you come to be in this? |
41458 | Do you think Gronvold and the sailor have quarrelled? |
41458 | Have you finished at Barcelona already? |
41458 | Have you had him long? |
41458 | Have you really? |
41458 | He must have been running,said Renstoke,"and what kind of man could run over such a country as this?" |
41458 | How did you know that I knew Barakoff? |
41458 | How far away was Gaston when he saw it? |
41458 | How long have we been flying? |
41458 | How on earth did you learn this, Renstoke? |
41458 | I hope you are satisfied, Lord Renstoke,said Erckmann at last,"that none of my pets is responsible for what has happened?" |
41458 | I want to see Mr Erckmann; is he at home? |
41458 | In which room do they meet? |
41458 | Is it known at all? |
41458 | Machinery,said Dick laconically,"but where?" |
41458 | May we see it? |
41458 | Mr Erckmann? |
41458 | Now, Mr Manton,said the Count in fair English,"will you drive Miss Pasquet in my car to the Continental and register there? |
41458 | On? 41458 That is Lockie?" |
41458 | There? |
41458 | To steal the jewels? |
41458 | To what am I indebted for Monsieur''s very polite attentions? |
41458 | Well, Fedor, what luck? |
41458 | Well,said Regnier,"will you keep me posted? |
41458 | What are you going to say at the inquest? |
41458 | What are your intentions? |
41458 | What can I do for you? |
41458 | What do you know about it? |
41458 | What do you make of that? |
41458 | What else could have done it? 41458 What on earth brings you here?" |
41458 | Whatever are you doing here, mademoiselle? |
41458 | Whatever do you mean, Renstoke? |
41458 | Whatever do you mean? |
41458 | Where are we? |
41458 | Who can go about all day and all night without being suspected? 41458 Who is behind this-- I mean who has made this discovery? |
41458 | Whom will you get to help you? 41458 Why should it be published in the` Diario''? |
41458 | Why, Manton, what brings you here? |
41458 | Why-- who is he? |
41458 | Will you take it in hand? |
41458 | Would the messieurs require anything further? |
41458 | Would you like to see what it can do? |
41458 | You did n''t know I was an electrician, did you, Dick? |
41458 | You mean,he said,"when the bank vaults were blown open with dynamite and half a million in gold stolen?" |
41458 | And finally, who are the most secretive people in the world? |
41458 | And, above all, why should such a message appear in an English code in an obscure paper published in Barcelona? |
41458 | Are you good for something more exciting and decidedly more dangerous? |
41458 | But he may have another ape which he has not shown us?" |
41458 | But how about food?" |
41458 | But how are we going to get it?" |
41458 | But how long would he be and what might happen in the meantime? |
41458 | But how was he to be captured? |
41458 | But how was it to be done? |
41458 | But surely you do n''t take me for a common thief?" |
41458 | But what Bolshevik or Communist, others asked, would waste time and effort to inflict such absurd pinpricks on Society? |
41458 | But what of the stranger? |
41458 | But what was he to do? |
41458 | But where could he be going? |
41458 | But where was Barakoff? |
41458 | But where was he hiding, and, above all, where was his machine? |
41458 | But where was it?" |
41458 | But which should they choose? |
41458 | But who could it be, and what possible object could he have? |
41458 | Can you tell me where any of the` Seven''are to- night?" |
41458 | Could Jules and Yvette have been mistaken? |
41458 | Could it possibly be hidden, Dick wondered, in the very heart of London? |
41458 | Could they do it? |
41458 | Could they get to Jules in time? |
41458 | Could they induce radium to deliver in a few moments the power which, expending itself for centuries untold, never seemed to grow less? |
41458 | Could they learn to accelerate the process? |
41458 | Do n''t you really know Chalkley?" |
41458 | Do you agree?" |
41458 | Do you know Chalkley?" |
41458 | Do you know where Barakoff is now?" |
41458 | Do you remember the big bank robbery at Liverpool three years ago?" |
41458 | Do you think I am likely to hesitate to rob a German thief when it means happiness for hundreds of French men and women and children?" |
41458 | Had the men of the mystery craft a still greater secret up their sleeve? |
41458 | How about trying a trap of some kind?" |
41458 | How are we to hide it? |
41458 | How did you get on?" |
41458 | I suppose Simmons is on the look out for him?" |
41458 | I''m sure of it?" |
41458 | In any case, you will have Durham warned?" |
41458 | Is the Mohawk ready?" |
41458 | Myself? |
41458 | None the less the problem remained-- where were the men? |
41458 | Now, Dick, I want those jewels, and I am going to have them?" |
41458 | Now, shall we go to- night? |
41458 | Of course you will come, Yvette?" |
41458 | Or,"she added mischievously,"is Norfolk and the motor business exciting and dangerous enough for you?" |
41458 | Suppose Demidoff learned that his papers had fallen into Raoul Gregoire''s hands-- eh?" |
41458 | There was, as he could see, a small electric motor fitted to it, but where could the necessary power come from? |
41458 | Was the Mohawk fast enough to beat the pirate? |
41458 | Were they high enough? |
41458 | What better device could be employed than a fast aeroplane which could get to Durham and away before anyone could hope to stop it? |
41458 | What could have become of Yvette and the manager? |
41458 | What could it mean? |
41458 | What was the object of the work? |
41458 | When do we start?" |
41458 | Where was Chalkley? |
41458 | Who am I hurting? |
41458 | Who can go into dens where your men hardly dare to venture? |
41458 | Who know all the hidden haunts of which your men are utterly ignorant? |
41458 | Who were Mataza, Wilson, and Greening? |
41458 | Whom am I benefiting? |
41458 | Why should n''t we try to fly her over tonight? |
41458 | Will you come?" |
41458 | Wo n''t you do it again? |
41458 | Would any Frenchman or Frenchwoman hesitate a moment? |
41458 | Would his own, he wondered, pass muster? |
41458 | Would she be followed, and if so, could she win clear? |
41458 | You know the story, of course?" |
41458 | You must come with me-- or shall I call the police?" |
41458 | You understand?" |
41458 | You''ve heard something then?" |
54973 | Afire? |
54973 | Ah,exclaimed Jack,"prepared for action, eh? |
54973 | And what are those crooks answering? |
54973 | And who are they? |
54973 | Are they prepared for such a trip-- for such an important mission, now? |
54973 | Are you ready? |
54973 | As simple as I- D- I- O- T. Where on the Atlantic? 54973 Believe you''ve got some papers on you we''d like to borrow for a little time?" |
54973 | Better get rid of it if you have, do n''t you think? |
54973 | But where would we get the snowshoes? |
54973 | But who are they? 54973 By plane?" |
54973 | Ca n''t we wash up a bit first? |
54973 | Cigarette? |
54973 | Do you know what that is? |
54973 | Do you think he''s sleep- walking again? |
54973 | Do you think we ought to wireless back that we were damaged and delayed by the storm? |
54973 | Eh? |
54973 | Euchre, what''s euchre? |
54973 | Ever been a sailor? |
54973 | For what? |
54973 | Fred, let me have the glasses, will you? |
54973 | Getting something? |
54973 | Going any place in particular? |
54973 | Got a pump and hose? |
54973 | Got anybody? |
54973 | Got what? |
54973 | Halifax? 54973 Have you got them?" |
54973 | Hear anything? |
54973 | How are you going to load it? |
54973 | How do we stand? |
54973 | How long would it take that crew to come from Halifax to Washington? |
54973 | How? |
54973 | How? |
54973 | Howdy? |
54973 | I guess all this is sad news to the Huns, eh? |
54973 | I suppose you do n''t know anything about that little job, eh? |
54973 | In what? |
54973 | Jack,he said, addressing himself to that rather worried individual,"I was n''t such a bad guesser this morning, after all, was I? |
54973 | Meaning what? |
54973 | Meaning? |
54973 | No, who? |
54973 | Now then,he exclaimed,"are you going to come across peacefully?" |
54973 | Now, you pup, what were you doing here? |
54973 | Oh, what''s the use of growling? 54973 Papers?" |
54973 | Picked this up and relayed it,he radiographed,"but where''s it come from, and who are you?" |
54973 | Ready? |
54973 | Remember? |
54973 | Same to you; what d''you want? |
54973 | See anything further? |
54973 | See thet old stump of a tree stickin''up out thar? |
54973 | Smoke? |
54973 | Snowstorm? |
54973 | Sort of proud, eh? |
54973 | Suppose we changed our course? |
54973 | The juice? |
54973 | Then you do expect something more to happen? |
54973 | Transatlantic contest? |
54973 | Trial on a day like this? |
54973 | Want me to go for you? |
54973 | Well, admitting all that, what are you going to do about it? |
54973 | Well, what did he say? |
54973 | Well, what do you think of that? |
54973 | Well, what in the deuce are you going to do? |
54973 | Well, where''s this here struggle to take place? |
54973 | Well, why tell us about it now? |
54973 | Well,Andy continued,"why, for instance, the machine gun? |
54973 | Were you down to the freight station? |
54973 | What about it, Don? |
54973 | What are you using? |
54973 | What do you mean? |
54973 | What does this mean, anyway? |
54973 | What for? |
54973 | What happened at that time? |
54973 | What happened? |
54973 | What in Heck ye laffin''at, anyway? |
54973 | What is it? |
54973 | What is it? |
54973 | What is the news? 54973 What is?" |
54973 | What now? |
54973 | What now? |
54973 | What the deuce do you suppose it means, anyway? |
54973 | What was it you were looking for? |
54973 | What was that? |
54973 | What''d I get? |
54973 | What''d you get? |
54973 | What''s T- K- R? |
54973 | What''s that? |
54973 | What''s that? |
54973 | What''s the altimeter show? |
54973 | What''s up now? |
54973 | What? |
54973 | Who are you? |
54973 | Who discovered I was gone? |
54973 | Who signed it? |
54973 | Who signs it? |
54973 | Whose is it? |
54973 | Why not do it on snowshoes? |
54973 | Why not here? |
54973 | Why the reception committee and this rather unusual welcome? |
54973 | Why the tail- dip? |
54973 | Willing to put down a little money to make this flight interesting? |
54973 | Wire here for me? |
54973 | Yeh, wanted to loosen it up a little, so that the first wind would cause the whole plane to collapse, eh? |
54973 | You have the documents? |
54973 | You probably will instruct them to land on the field over near Fort Meyer? |
54973 | You the mail crew? |
54973 | You understand thoroughly the importance of these papers? |
54973 | ''Leggo''what? |
54973 | Allerson ai n''t a whale of a sleuth, eh?" |
54973 | And who do you want killed?" |
54973 | Any accidents?" |
54973 | Are you ready, Don?" |
54973 | But after all, what was there to be said? |
54973 | But the thought came to each, What would they have done had they not had pontoons for landing on the surface of the ocean? |
54973 | CHAPTER XX KIDNAPED"What''s that?" |
54973 | Can you spare any?" |
54973 | Could he supply such men? |
54973 | Did you get any? |
54973 | Did you tell her we''re in an aeroplane?" |
54973 | Do I make that clear?" |
54973 | Do you know who that fellow was that I thought I recognized in that plane?" |
54973 | Halifax?" |
54973 | Have n''t sighted any of the others, have you?" |
54973 | Here, then, was the message complete:"R- S-7: Give location-- situation critical-- when will you arrive?" |
54973 | His spirits awakened, did we say? |
54973 | How about the wireless, Fred?" |
54973 | How do we stand with regard to the regular steamer route?" |
54973 | It turned out later that that was not at all the case, but who could discern the real motives behind the demands of that critical time? |
54973 | Men who could be trusted not only to get to Europe, but to get there with the documents? |
54973 | Shall I answer?" |
54973 | Such an aero crew? |
54973 | That would be nice, would n''t it?" |
54973 | Wanted to know what I meant by making a josh out of the S O S.""When ought we to come across them?" |
54973 | Where are they?" |
54973 | Whom could he recommend? |
54973 | Why had not the pursuing plane been stopped? |
54973 | Why not? |
54973 | Will you do it?" |
54973 | Would he? |
54973 | murmured Don, skimming through the pages,"Where the deuce is my hat? |
33976 | All ready? |
33976 | All right, Jane? |
33976 | And the girls? |
33976 | And you turned that down? |
33976 | And you turned that down? |
33976 | Are you all right? |
33976 | Are you both interested in going to Chicago and personally applying for positions with the Federated system? |
33976 | Are you from Chicago? |
33976 | Are you going to come out and see every ship off? |
33976 | Are you hurt, Jane? |
33976 | But did they invite me to see the pictures? |
33976 | But do n''t you think it''s rather dangerous? 33976 But is n''t it dangerous for girls like you to be flying in those airplanes?" |
33976 | But is n''t it true that Miss Cameron is one of your favorites? |
33976 | But what will I tell them? |
33976 | But what would Mrs. Van Verity Vanness and company officials say? |
33976 | But what''s it all about? |
33976 | But why was it following us? 33976 Ca n''t you see I''m all tired out?" |
33976 | Can you take us aboard? 33976 Did anyone else touch the food?" |
33976 | Did n''t they tell you? |
33976 | Did you get a message out that we were crashing? |
33976 | Did you prepare the food which was placed aboard the plane that day? |
33976 | Did you really do that? |
33976 | Do you know anyone who would do it as a grudge against you? |
33976 | Do you know very much about the plans for using stewardesses? |
33976 | Do you mean Gary Macklin is going to have the leading role in the picture here? |
33976 | Do you mean to stand there and tell me that Roscoe James and the Mammoth Film Company are going to make a motion picture here at the Cheyenne field? |
33976 | Do you really think you''d like flying? |
33976 | Do you think his condition is serious? |
33976 | Do you think the water''s deep? |
33976 | Do you think we ought to have accepted the invitation? |
33976 | Does anyone know what the story is about? |
33976 | Does that mean we''ll have to try for a landing? |
33976 | Either one of you girls decided what you''ll do when you leave tomorrow? |
33976 | Everything all right? |
33976 | Everything all right? |
33976 | Feel the urge of a chocolate soda? |
33976 | Going to write home? |
33976 | Guess who I saw leaving the field? |
33976 | Have any girls been hired? |
33976 | Have n''t they been captured? |
33976 | Have you been flying long? |
33976 | How about it? |
33976 | How about meals? |
33976 | How about you, Miss Cameron? |
33976 | How about$ 50? |
33976 | How did you ever have the nerve to jump? |
33976 | How do you know? |
33976 | How do you know? |
33976 | How far above ground are we? |
33976 | How had Mrs. Van Verity Vanness acted when the bandit plane swooped down on them? 33976 How long have you known we were in danger?" |
33976 | How much is the rent? |
33976 | How''s Slim Bollei? |
33976 | How''s he getting along? |
33976 | How''s our famous passenger? |
33976 | How''s the pilot and co- pilot? |
33976 | How''s the weather? |
33976 | I wonder how it happened? |
33976 | I wonder if the folks will object? |
33976 | I wonder who he was? 33976 I wonder who is going to get your place on the_ Coast to Coast?_"mused Sue. |
33976 | I''d like that if I could keep on flying,said Jane,"but why do you think I have a chance?" |
33976 | Is he nice? |
33976 | Is she ill now? |
33976 | It''s nice,admitted Sue,"but what on earth will you do with it? |
33976 | Know what day this is? |
33976 | Ransom? |
33976 | Scared? |
33976 | Then I''ll get my license? |
33976 | Then you mean we''ve passed all right? |
33976 | Think I''d forgotten all about you? |
33976 | Think of the ransom they could demand if they captured your passenger? |
33976 | Tuck me in for the night? |
33976 | Was anyone badly injured? |
33976 | Was anyone else in the commissary while you were working? |
33976 | Well, what do you think of that? |
33976 | Well, what do you think of that? |
33976 | What about yourself? |
33976 | What are we going to do now? |
33976 | What are you going to do? |
33976 | What assignment do we get? |
33976 | What can I do for you? |
33976 | What do you have to do? |
33976 | What do you know about this, Miss Comstock? |
33976 | What do you know about this? |
33976 | What do you suppose Miss Hardy wants? |
33976 | What do you think of Mattie''s attitude? |
33976 | What do you think of it? |
33976 | What do you think of the uniforms? |
33976 | What does it mean? |
33976 | What is your Chicago address? |
33976 | What time do I start west? |
33976 | What were the names of those men? |
33976 | What''s going on out there? |
33976 | What''s the matter? |
33976 | What''s this I hear about you piloting one of the planes for the movie people? |
33976 | When do you think we''ll go in? |
33976 | When will you be back? |
33976 | Where are we? |
33976 | Where are you going right away? |
33976 | Where''s Jane Cameron? |
33976 | Which means what? |
33976 | Who do you suppose came in with me? |
33976 | Why did n''t you say so? |
33976 | Why not let me fly one of the ships? |
33976 | Will you bring us back if we go to the field? |
33976 | Wonder if I''ll ever have this framed? |
33976 | Would n''t you like to join me, traveling as my nurse and companion? |
33976 | Would you mind pinching me to see if I am awake? |
33976 | You going along? |
33976 | You know what caused the illness aboard the plane? |
33976 | You mean we''re getting$ 10,000 for this trip across the country? |
33976 | You mean we''ve really got the jobs? |
33976 | You would n''t have had any reason to place anything in the food, would you? |
33976 | You''ve heard the service is to be enlarged? |
33976 | You''ve what? |
33976 | Ca n''t we do something?" |
33976 | Can you get ready by that time?" |
33976 | Chapter Twenty- two Promotion for Jane"What''s this I hear about your turning down an offer to go to Hollywood?" |
33976 | Did the pilot know where he was? |
33976 | Did you get a message through?" |
33976 | Do you have a letter from your supervisor?" |
33976 | Do you suppose I took well?" |
33976 | Does that sound attractive?" |
33976 | Had Miss Comstock only been talking bravely, attempting to reassure the girls? |
33976 | Had Mrs. Van Verity Vanness commented on the financial situation?" |
33976 | Have either of you flown much before?" |
33976 | How about baggage?" |
33976 | How about trading schedules?" |
33976 | How about you?" |
33976 | How about your story? |
33976 | How do you like the uniforms?" |
33976 | How had Jane felt? |
33976 | How long before we''ll be in Chicago?" |
33976 | Is there anything I can do?" |
33976 | Is there anything I can do?" |
33976 | Smell it? |
33976 | Sold it to anyone yet?" |
33976 | Then, aiming his question at Jane, he asked,"How would you like to come to Hollywood? |
33976 | Think how much has happened?" |
33976 | Think you understand everything?" |
33976 | What do you think about it, Jane?" |
33976 | What do you think about it?" |
33976 | What had she served her passenger at mealtime? |
33976 | What more is needed?" |
33976 | What''s up?" |
33976 | Why could n''t they land and wait for the bad weather to clear? |
33976 | Why were n''t they out of the fog? |
33976 | Why?" |
33976 | Will you want a blanket so you can sleep?" |
33976 | Wo n''t this be front page news?" |
10584 | And desert my chum when he''s in trouble? 10584 And how about the plane business?" |
10584 | And now, Tom, had n''t we better turn toward the shore? |
10584 | Anything gone wrong with the motors, Tom? |
10584 | Are you sure cabling would do no good, if we could manage to send an urgent message? |
10584 | Are you worrying about your cousin? |
10584 | Back home, Tom? |
10584 | Berlin or bust? |
10584 | Better separate, and attack''em from two different angles, had n''t we, Tom? |
10584 | But ca n''t something be done, boys? 10584 But if it does n''t, what then?" |
10584 | But not impossible? |
10584 | But then what''s the use of sticking it out? 10584 But what about Bertrand Hale, Nellie? |
10584 | But why could n''t you take the spin in his company, Tom? 10584 But why should it? |
10584 | But, surely, you would n''t dare hint anything about the big trip we want to take, Tom? |
10584 | But-- how could you have reached here so far ahead of me? |
10584 | Can you make it perfectly safe again before half an hour passes? |
10584 | Could n''t be bettered much, could it, Tom? |
10584 | Could you feel any motion when you stood on that lower shelf of the berg? |
10584 | Did n''t I know you could do it, Tom? |
10584 | Did they get any of our crowd? |
10584 | Did those shots seem to be over yonder to the right? |
10584 | Did you learn anything about the job we''ve got on hand, Tom? |
10584 | Did-- er, Bessie ask you to look me up? |
10584 | Do you really mean that Bessie and Mrs. Gleason are so close as all that? |
10584 | Do you suppose your cousin knows anything about this new development? |
10584 | Do you think he suspected anything? |
10584 | Does the hangar lie in that quarter, sir? |
10584 | For a change of subject,Tom observed,"shall we tell Lieutenant Beverly about your troubles? |
10584 | Glad to hear you say that, Jack, because I''m feeling particularly keen myself to be one of that bunch to- night"When do we start? |
10584 | Have they tried to injure your plane, Colin? |
10584 | Have you had bad news from home? |
10584 | How about it if we should sight a steamer? |
10584 | How can such wickedness exist when war had made so many heroes among our boys? |
10584 | How do we know what the good fairy may do for you, so as to outwit the villain of the piece? |
10584 | How far are we from land, Tom, would you say? |
10584 | How long have we been here? |
10584 | How would an iceberg fill the bill, Colin? |
10584 | I suppose you''re counting now on getting that long flight off your mind? 10584 I wonder if that can be Virginia I see?" |
10584 | I''d like to know how you make that out? |
10584 | Is there anything else to confer about? |
10584 | Is there anything else we can do for you, Lieutenant? |
10584 | Is there anything to delay us further? |
10584 | It is n''t about Bessie, I hope? |
10584 | It was the_ Titanic_, was n''t it, that bumped into an iceberg, and went down with such a frightful loss of life? |
10584 | It''s all right then, I take it, Tom? |
10584 | It''s hinted that we are aiming at Berlin, do n''t you know? |
10584 | It''s the supply pipe clogging then? |
10584 | Jack, what''s wrong with you? |
10584 | Just the thing, I''d say,the lieutenant answered,"only who ever heard of an iceberg floating down in mid- Atlantic at this season of the year? |
10584 | No chance of our getting at it while afloat, is there? |
10584 | No one dead, or sick, I hope, Jack? |
10584 | Notice that road looking as if it might be pitted with shell- holes? 10584 Please explain what you mean by that?" |
10584 | Pretty nearly through, Tom? |
10584 | Running more into the south- southwest, you mean, I suppose, Tom? |
10584 | Say, is it going to be anything serious, fellows? 10584 See here, is it anything connected with that Burson property-- has that matter come to a head at last?" |
10584 | See how the old luck keeps hanging over us, will you? 10584 See who''s coming, will you?" |
10584 | Spies hanging around, probably? |
10584 | Tell me, is that the anchored light- ship''s siren, Tom, do you think? |
10584 | That one spanning the river about twenty miles back of the German lines, do you mean? |
10584 | That you, Tom, Jack? |
10584 | Then the machine is still ready for business, is it? |
10584 | Then you suspect he may already be on his way across, and will arrive before you can get there to put in your claim? |
10584 | There, is n''t that a regular beauty to show? |
10584 | This is Mrs. Parmly, I believe? |
10584 | Tom, do you think the general would permit us to take our machine, and fly to Dunkirk? |
10584 | Tom, would it be madness, do you think? |
10584 | We veer to the left here, and pass out to sea over Queenstown, do n''t we, Colin? |
10584 | We want to see Major Denning; can anybody direct us to him? |
10584 | Well, is there any objection to breaking our fast again? |
10584 | What about the plane, Colin? |
10584 | What are you thinking about, Tom, for I can see a look in your face that we ought to know? 10584 What can I be doing in the meanwhile?" |
10584 | What can I do for you? |
10584 | What could stop him, since I''m utterly powerless to do anything? |
10584 | What do you make of this thing, Tom? |
10584 | What do you think of it, boys? |
10584 | What do you think you see? |
10584 | What does this mystery mean? |
10584 | What have you found now? |
10584 | What is that? |
10584 | What makes it feel so queer at times? |
10584 | What ought we do, Tom? |
10584 | What''s happened to you? |
10584 | What''s that? |
10584 | What''s the idea of keeping so high, Lieutenant? |
10584 | What''s the matter now, Tom? |
10584 | What''s the verdict? |
10584 | What''s wrong here? |
10584 | When you have n''t the slightest thing to guide you, stars, sun, or earth, how can you tell which is up or which is down? 10584 Where is the big Martin bomber now, did you say?" |
10584 | Why so, Major? |
10584 | Why, what is the matter with you? |
10584 | Wonder if the old chap has got a mate around? |
10584 | You do n''t blame Jack, do you? |
10584 | You do n''t glimpse any other chance further on, do you, Jack? |
10584 | You doubtless know that I''ve got more money than is good for any single man to handle? 10584 You mean calculated to make every one feel timid about taking any extraordinary risk-- is that it?" |
10584 | You mean the notifications might arrive while we were gone? |
10584 | And just to think of the queer conditions of this hunt, too, will you? |
10584 | And who would not have been under similar conditions? |
10584 | Anything like a written message you would like to leave behind, to be sent in case we are never heard from again, boys? |
10584 | Are you planning a trip to the moon, after Jules Verne''s yarn?" |
10584 | Are you sure you''ve got the directions how to get to Dunkirk, and then how to find my secret hangar on the coast beyond the town, Tom?" |
10584 | Besides, what do ten or twenty minutes amount to?" |
10584 | Both of you will be free, do n''t you understand? |
10584 | But Jack,--""Yes, Tom?" |
10584 | But are the lands worth as much as it was believed, Jack?" |
10584 | But had n''t we better be thinking of getting out of this soft marshy tract?" |
10584 | But what ails you, Tom? |
10584 | But why do you ask that? |
10584 | CHAPTER IX CONVINCING PROOF"Are you sure about that?" |
10584 | CHAPTER XI THE AMAZING PLAN"Tell us what you mean, please?" |
10584 | CHAPTER XIII OFF FOR THE CHANNEL"Tom, do you think that spy left behind by my cousin could have learned in any way about our plan?" |
10584 | Can it be they''re being attacked by a Hun undersea boat, do you think, boys?" |
10584 | Can we do anything further for you right now, Lieutenant?" |
10584 | Can you guess why any one should wish to do either of you such a wrong as that?" |
10584 | Did he tell you anything that would be of interest to us?" |
10584 | Do n''t you see how it acts, Tom?" |
10584 | Do you think we''ve crossed the Channel, Lieutenant?" |
10584 | Does n''t she look rather serious, Tom?" |
10584 | Faster now grew their progress, but would the stretch of ice prove a long enough area to give them the necessary momentum? |
10584 | Get that, do you, Jack?" |
10584 | Has n''t anything been done to learn the truth, sir?" |
10584 | Have n''t I known you to come to the front many times when things looked very black for us?" |
10584 | Have you an idea-- is there yet a hope that we can get a grip on this danger, and choke it?" |
10584 | How am I going to beat Randolph across the Atlantic? |
10584 | How are you fixed, Jack?" |
10584 | I suppose you know they''ve got a sort of''Y''hut running back here a bit?" |
10584 | If you''ve a sharp knife what''s to hinder you from taking one of his claws for a trophy?" |
10584 | Is everything going well, Colin?" |
10584 | Is n''t that true?" |
10584 | Let''s see-- two o''clock you said, did n''t you? |
10584 | Must we just fold our hands, and meet our fate?" |
10584 | Parmly?" |
10584 | Ready, back there? |
10584 | See here, what''s this mean? |
10584 | So the boys picked you up, did they? |
10584 | Sure you examined the ground ahead, and saw to it we''d hit no bumps that might give us trouble?" |
10584 | Tell me, can you guess why this unknown person should want to injure you?" |
10584 | Then it''s our only chance; if we miss this what else could we do?" |
10584 | Tom, what do you say about it?" |
10584 | Try to guess what would happen to that monster berg if we hit head on?" |
10584 | Was Tom ever going to elevate the plane and attempt the rise from the flat surface of the ice? |
10584 | Was not the miracle- worker of a monster plane doing remarkably fine work, and should they not continue to believe the end justified the means? |
10584 | Was the ice floe about to break up? |
10584 | Well, what does it matter?" |
10584 | What can that mean?" |
10584 | What do you say, Jack?" |
10584 | What do you think about it, Tom?" |
10584 | What do you think of the plane, Tom?" |
10584 | What does that mean, Tom?" |
10584 | What had we better do?" |
10584 | What if it was ten minutes late? |
10584 | What if something happens to hold up those notices until it''s too late for even Colin''s big bomber to catch up with the steamer?" |
10584 | What if two thousand miles still lay between them and the goal of their hopes? |
10584 | What under the sun can it be?" |
10584 | What''s going on around here; nothing serious happened, I hope?" |
10584 | What''s the matter with this fine big gap?" |
10584 | What''s the use? |
10584 | What''s your big scheme, Lieutenant?" |
10584 | Worse than we at first thought?" |
10584 | You do n''t think it''s possible that could be the_ La Bretagne_, Tom?" |
10584 | You have n''t flunked, Tom? |
10584 | You''ll agree to that, wo n''t you, Jack?" |
10584 | but is n''t he a buster though? |
10584 | did you?" |
10584 | what''s that mean?" |
10584 | who''s this but my English cousin, Major Denning?" |
51127 | Ai n''t I tellin''ye? |
51127 | An''grass am good an''long right up to de back ob de garden? |
51127 | And do you mean to say, Matt, that those two pieces of cloth have guessed the riddle? |
51127 | And what did Deacon do? |
51127 | And what''s to become of me in the meantime? |
51127 | And you know of two trustworthy men you can get to go with you? |
51127 | Are ye goin''? |
51127 | Are you the man who put that''ad''in the paper? |
51127 | Begorry, what was thot? |
51127 | Belong to what, Prebbles? |
51127 | But what am I to do? |
51127 | But wo n''t he suspect anything? |
51127 | Ca n''t we go higher, Matt? |
51127 | Did Traquair ever do much flying? |
51127 | Did he? 51127 Did some men come here in an automobile, a little while ago, and take it away?" |
51127 | Did the Chink throw the firecracker in the first place? |
51127 | Did they? |
51127 | Did you go, Rufe? |
51127 | Do you know Benner, the post trader? |
51127 | Do you know that the man who invented the aëroplane fell with one of the machines and was killed? |
51127 | Do you know where Mr. Traquair lost his life in that flying machine? |
51127 | Do you live there? |
51127 | Do you mean to say,cried Matt, standing up in the car,"that you were going to wreck the aëroplane?" |
51127 | Do you remember a young fellow called Ensign Glennie? |
51127 | Do you think I do n''t know what you are trying to do for Mrs. Traquair? 51127 Do you want him to kill the Chinaman?" |
51127 | Does Siwash Charley know Murgatroyd? |
51127 | Fifteen per cent? 51127 Got er axe ter grind, hey?" |
51127 | Had any experience with aëroplanes? |
51127 | Has n''t got Dandy, I hope? |
51127 | Have n''t got it? |
51127 | Have you gone clean crazy? |
51127 | Have you hired out to that Murgatroyd person as the human sky- rocket? |
51127 | He asked for me, I suppose? |
51127 | How did that happen? |
51127 | How did the accident happen? |
51127 | How did you know where we were coming? |
51127 | How do you know that I was referring to you? |
51127 | How do you reckon he found that out? |
51127 | How high do you think we are now, Cameron? |
51127 | How is he going to fight us, Prebbles? |
51127 | How kin I tell whether I want it or not till ye explain what the work is? |
51127 | How much do I owe you for drawing up these papers? |
51127 | How much do you owe him? |
51127 | How was I ter know that? |
51127 | How''s that? |
51127 | How? |
51127 | I guess yuh do n''t live in Jimtown, do yuh? |
51127 | I wonder what''s become of Ping? |
51127 | If he gets his interest, he ca n''t make her any trouble, can he? |
51127 | Is he the one that hit Siwash Charley with the stone? |
51127 | Is thar any money in it, Murg? |
51127 | Is that your bear? |
51127 | Is the machine you have the one that killed Traquair? |
51127 | It''s got to have a running start, eh? |
51127 | Listen to this once,said he, and read aloud:"''How can a poor woman thank you for what you have done? |
51127 | May I take the model? |
51127 | Mr. Amos Murgatroyd? |
51127 | Murgatroyd? 51127 My workee for you some mo''?" |
51127 | Nervous, Matt? |
51127 | Not Motor Matt? |
51127 | Oh, y''are, eh? 51127 Oh, you know a heap about business, you do, do n''t you?" |
51127 | Prebbles,said Matt,"do you know of any one, here in town, who has a good automobile we could hire?" |
51127 | Quite sure? |
51127 | Reckoned I could fix it for you, eh? |
51127 | Remember Glennie? |
51127 | Representing the government, was n''t he? |
51127 | Shall we go on? |
51127 | Shiwas Charley no killee Motol Matt? 51127 Sloughs?" |
51127 | Slow up a little with that chug cart o''yourn, will ye? 51127 So they gave it accidental death?" |
51127 | Sufferin''cats,cried McGlory, starting for one of the windows,"I wonder if that''s a fire? |
51127 | That your picture? |
51127 | That''s his name, hey? 51127 That''s right; but how did you know the vent was plugged?" |
51127 | The point is, do you want to follow out my plans, and make the money I''m offering you? |
51127 | Then I kin lay fer him around Totten, hey? |
51127 | Then you got here on the same train we did? |
51127 | Think I kain''t handle that outfit alone, Murg? 51127 Well?" |
51127 | What are Siwash and his friends going to do at Totten? |
51127 | What are you trying to do, Siwash Charley? |
51127 | What are you willing to pay for the work you want done? |
51127 | What d''ye want? |
51127 | What did you say, Rufe? |
51127 | What difference does that make, so long as I can do the work? |
51127 | What do you think? |
51127 | What do you work for the old skinflint for, if you want to do right? |
51127 | What does this mean, Rufe? |
51127 | What for should I git from my boss''land? |
51127 | What good''s the flying machine, anyway? 51127 What happened then?" |
51127 | What has he stopped for? |
51127 | What have you got there? |
51127 | What hotel yuh stoppin''to, mister? |
51127 | What is it, Murg? |
51127 | What kind of a machine did he have? |
51127 | What murderous scoundrel could have done it? |
51127 | What the dickens did you do? |
51127 | What town''s that? |
51127 | What were the bicycle wheels for? |
51127 | What''s happened? |
51127 | What''s the good, hey? |
51127 | What''s the matter now? |
51127 | What''s the matter with you, sarg? |
51127 | What''s the matter with you? |
51127 | What''s the matter, Prebbles? |
51127 | What''s the matter? |
51127 | What''s the ruction here? |
51127 | What''s the trouble here? |
51127 | What''s the use of getting mad at you, Ping? |
51127 | What''s to pay? |
51127 | When do you go North? |
51127 | Where did you come from, Ping? |
51127 | Where does Mrs. Traquair live? |
51127 | Where does he live? |
51127 | Where does the coincidence come in, lieutenant? |
51127 | Where have you been keeping yourself? |
51127 | Where have you been, Ping? |
51127 | Where''s Ping? |
51127 | Who are you? |
51127 | Who is it? |
51127 | Who''ll I ask for when I come to the hotel? |
51127 | Who''ll pay''em? |
51127 | Who''s a robber? |
51127 | Who''s been tramping on you? |
51127 | Who''s talking with your mother, Ted? |
51127 | Who''s that with you? |
51127 | Who''s that? |
51127 | Why did n''t you tell me you were not going to stay there? |
51127 | Why do n''t you chase him away, then? |
51127 | Why has n''t Rufe written? |
51127 | Will you help me? |
51127 | Would n''t that knock you slabsided? |
51127 | You Rufe? |
51127 | You are positive Siwash Charley was one of the men who knocked you down, here at the camp, and carried you into the woods? |
51127 | You did n''t intend to stay in Madison any of the time, did you? |
51127 | You got money, ai n''t you? |
51127 | You had a flying machine called the_ Hawk_, quite a while ago, did n''t you? |
51127 | You remember that wagon we passed? |
51127 | You want to pass that car, then,said he,"and you want to dodge trouble?" |
51127 | You''re banking on that? |
51127 | You''re pretty well acquainted up around Devil''s Lake, are n''t you? |
51127 | You? 51127 You?" |
51127 | *****"Any letter for George Hatfield?" |
51127 | All ready?" |
51127 | And do you think I wo n''t do as much as I can to help her? |
51127 | And how can you guide the blooming thing skyward, or on a level, or come down?" |
51127 | And how in Sam Hill did that bear pick up his trail?" |
51127 | Are you one of the lot that chased up Jake?" |
51127 | At this rate, how long''ll that stake last that you picked up in Madison?" |
51127 | Benner?" |
51127 | Black?" |
51127 | Black?" |
51127 | But-- but the very machine that was to make our fortune has taken his life, and-- and what am I to do?" |
51127 | By the way, young man, what''s your name?" |
51127 | Can I take that model with me to the hotel? |
51127 | Did he come over yesterday morning?" |
51127 | Dis am de time for burning de woods, ai n''t it?" |
51127 | Do n''t you notice how much smoother we''re gliding?" |
51127 | Do yez want thim insoide?" |
51127 | Do you know whether Mr. Traquair protected the ideas with patents?" |
51127 | Five years''penitentiary, is n''t it? |
51127 | Have you any drawings, or papers from the patent office, that I can look at to get an idea of what the aëroplane is like?" |
51127 | How did he get here? |
51127 | How had he come there? |
51127 | How long do you think my loan business would last if I was found out in a job like this? |
51127 | I think Glennie wrote me you had had some experience with a dirigible balloon?" |
51127 | If that do n''t work, I''ll go under the car and take off the fuel pipe, and----""It''s a gravity feed, is n''t it?" |
51127 | Know anything about the Traquair aëroplane?" |
51127 | Looks like fate had something to do with this, eh?" |
51127 | May I read this?" |
51127 | Murgatroyd?" |
51127 | Page 19, changed single to double quote after"destroy that aëroplane?" |
51127 | Savvy fly? |
51127 | Siwash and Murgatroyd talked about me?" |
51127 | Suppose you let me look at the goods?" |
51127 | Tell me, is Deacon in possession?" |
51127 | That ought to be enough, had n''t it?" |
51127 | That''s what I''m along for, savvy?" |
51127 | The government, I presume,"he added,"merely buys the aëroplane? |
51127 | Then he said very quietly:"Oliver, what''s the punishment for horse stealing? |
51127 | Then, again, if we go up will we stay up? |
51127 | There''s no doubt about the sale to the government?" |
51127 | This is the only way I can get back the loan, you see?" |
51127 | Traquair?" |
51127 | Traquair?" |
51127 | Traquair?" |
51127 | What could I do agin''the lot of''em, and armed like they was? |
51127 | What could I do?" |
51127 | What d''ye reckon we''re going to do about that?" |
51127 | What did you set off that cannon cracker under the bear for?" |
51127 | What good were choice prayers, painted on rice paper, and burned to the heathen deities? |
51127 | What it pays for the machine is n''t a purchase of Traquair''s patents?" |
51127 | What made the fellow such an enemy of yours, Matt?" |
51127 | What more do you expect?" |
51127 | What of it?" |
51127 | What was the matter? |
51127 | What you do now, huh?" |
51127 | When are you going to put the aëroplane together?" |
51127 | Who are you?" |
51127 | Why do n''t you go around this place with a duster, once in a while? |
51127 | Why was he bound, and why was the cloth tied between his jaws? |
51127 | Why you no callee him_ Fan Tan_, huh?" |
51127 | Will you take hold of this aëroplane matter, learn how to run the Traquair invention, and then test it out at Fort Totten, two weeks from to- day?" |
51127 | Will you?" |
51127 | You boys belong?" |
51127 | You can do that, ca n''t you?" |
51127 | You going to build a new house soon, ai n''t you?" |
51127 | You heap mad with Ping?" |
51127 | You will not sign it, of course?" |
51127 | You wo n''t tell anybody about me giving Murg away to you? |
51127 | You''re watching the time?" |
6459 | A divining rod? |
6459 | A halo? 6459 A medical interest, I suppose?" |
6459 | Ai n''t gittin''on yer nerves, be I? |
6459 | Almost human sometimes, eh? |
6459 | And his name was? |
6459 | And if not? |
6459 | Anything else to be done, miss? |
6459 | Anything happened? |
6459 | Are there wild horses hereabouts then? |
6459 | Are we going to have a storm? |
6459 | As Peggy says, if anything went wrong what could you do alone? |
6459 | Bad-- is it?'' |
6459 | But Senor Bell and the senoritas? |
6459 | But about that other man,said Roy, returning to the charge when he had finished his narrative,"did n''t you see him?" |
6459 | But how are you going to get water in this desert? |
6459 | But how will you explain it? 6459 But the coyotes?" |
6459 | But the stock and Alverado? |
6459 | But where? |
6459 | But wo n''t the poor man become lost or starve? |
6459 | Can you see anything of the town yet? |
6459 | Come in handy sometimes, do n''t it? |
6459 | Dancing poison? |
6459 | Did-- did the man with the red auto catch it? |
6459 | Do n''t eh? |
6459 | Do n''t they take any servants or help? |
6459 | Do you know the name of the men who attacked you and treated you so cruelly? |
6459 | Do you reckon it was gold? |
6459 | Do you think I did right in coming? |
6459 | Do you think that they are-- that they are Red Bill''s men? |
6459 | Do you think that we are in serious danger? |
6459 | Does it portend anything? |
6459 | Forgot I used to be ventriloquist with a medicine show, eh? |
6459 | Frightened, girlie? 6459 Frightened? |
6459 | Get the radiator fixed yet? |
6459 | Get you, Bill? |
6459 | Good thing for them, eh? |
6459 | Got a pencil and a bit of paper, Buck? |
6459 | Got any of that thar gum you''s always achewin''so as ter be agreeable to ther ladies? |
6459 | Got that, did you? |
6459 | Grub all right? |
6459 | Here, here, what''s all this? |
6459 | How about airships? |
6459 | How did you find it? |
6459 | How is that? |
6459 | How''s that? |
6459 | How? 6459 Hullo, kid; what''s biting you?" |
6459 | Hurt? |
6459 | Hurt? |
6459 | I wonder if he''s acting a part? |
6459 | I wonder if they got through? |
6459 | I''d like to accept,said Roy, with vast cunning as he thought,"but what would your partner say?" |
6459 | If they are? |
6459 | Is he trying to kill us? |
6459 | Is it poisonous? |
6459 | Is this the end? |
6459 | Is-- is it all over, Roy? |
6459 | Look here, Mr. Bell,he exclaimed, pointing downward,"what do you make of that?" |
6459 | Make a good signal, would n''t it? |
6459 | My dear child, what is it? |
6459 | My partner? |
6459 | No such thing,said Peggy in her briskest tones;"what if anything happened to you? |
6459 | No, not exactly-- but-- oh, Roy,even plucky Peggy''s voice broke and quavered,"it''s so lonely, and whatever are we to do?" |
6459 | Not even at the cost of your own life? |
6459 | Not fer me, thanks,was the easy response,"ef you want to hunt spooks--""Who said it wuz a spook or any such pack uv nonsense?" |
6459 | Now then, my dear,he said,"what is it?" |
6459 | Now will you do as I say? |
6459 | Of what? |
6459 | Oh, Peggy, is it perfectly safe? |
6459 | Oh, Peggy, you darling, is it really you? |
6459 | Oh, Roy, you''re not going alone? |
6459 | Oh, indeed,sniffed the embattled Peggy scornfully;"I suppose you think I ca n''t handle a man''s size gun?" |
6459 | Oh, is it you, Peggy? 6459 Ortermobiles?" |
6459 | Roy, do you know where you are going? |
6459 | Say, look at that Chinaman eyeing us,broke off Roy suddenly;"wonder what''s the matter with him?" |
6459 | Say, what''s ther matter with you, Buck? |
6459 | Selling something? |
6459 | Should n''t everybody have an opportunity to develop natural resources? |
6459 | Sis, do you mean you are going to try it? |
6459 | So Jess was right after all,breathed Peggy softly;"but who could have done such a thing? |
6459 | So you were in Blue Creek recently, eh? |
6459 | So you''re after that ornery varmint, Red Bill, are yer? |
6459 | Something else missing? |
6459 | That''s quite true, Roy,struck in Jess,"and besides if-- if anything has gone wrong with Jimsy who has a better right to be near him than I?" |
6459 | The gal, too? |
6459 | The water is almost all gone? |
6459 | Then you really think, sir, that somebody may have wind of the object of our journey and molest us? |
6459 | This is it,nodded her brother Roy;"what do you think of it, sis?" |
6459 | Tramp over those old hills that look as baked as a loaf of overdone bread? |
6459 | True, my brave girl,rejoined Mr. Bell,"but of what use would that be? |
6459 | W- w- w- what speed are we making? |
6459 | Wa- al, Jim Bell,he demanded,"for the third an''last time, air you goin''ter give in peaceable? |
6459 | Wa- al, what''s all ther trouble hyar? |
6459 | Wa- al, what''s up? |
6459 | Waal, ef you know so much, let''s hear it? |
6459 | Want to come, Jimsy? |
6459 | Was n''t that a shout? 6459 Was that one of Red Bill''s men?" |
6459 | We do n''t know yet, Roy dear,Peggy found time to whisper, and then:"Who else was looking for the assayer?" |
6459 | We must be close to the place now,she said;"it''s somewhere off there, is n''t it?" |
6459 | Well I am, ai n''t I? |
6459 | Well, sis, what about it? |
6459 | Well, what are we going to do about it? |
6459 | Well, what do you make of that? |
6459 | Well? |
6459 | Were there any tracks? |
6459 | Whar wa''ar you all ther forenoon? |
6459 | Whar''s Buck Bellew? |
6459 | Whar''s the United States Assayer''s office? |
6459 | What am I to do, Aunt Sally? |
6459 | What beats me is, if those are Red Bill''s men what are they doing in this direction? |
6459 | What can a girl do? |
6459 | What can be happening? |
6459 | What did he run like that for? |
6459 | What do you mean, my dear? |
6459 | What do you wish with me, senor? |
6459 | What does this mean? |
6459 | What in the name of Kit Carson wuz that? |
6459 | What is it, Alverado? |
6459 | What is it, Roy? |
6459 | What is it? 6459 What papers?" |
6459 | What would cowboys be doing away out here where there is n''t a cow or a calf or even an old mule in sight? |
6459 | What''s that you''re saying, boy,he exclaimed;"what do you know about Red Bill Summers?" |
6459 | What''s that? |
6459 | What''s the hurry? |
6459 | What''s the matter with you two, you mean? 6459 What''s the trouble, sis; bad news?" |
6459 | Whatever will Aunt Sally and the rest be thinking? |
6459 | Where are the twin fairies of light that used to dance in your eyes? |
6459 | Where can we be going? |
6459 | Where''s the corral? |
6459 | Who is he? |
6459 | Why hal- lo, stranger,he said,"whar you bin hidin''all these moons? |
6459 | Why that''s so, is n''t it? |
6459 | Why, when he spoke about that Red Billy whatever his name was, did you see how different he looked? 6459 Wish what, Peggy dear?" |
6459 | Wo n''t you please stand aside? |
6459 | Wonder what kind of weather the ponies are making of it? |
6459 | Yes-- yes, what is it? |
6459 | You are to escort a party of gringos headed by a Senor Bell as far as Steer Wells, are you not? |
6459 | You can make him obey you then? |
6459 | You give me lilly joss now, missee? |
6459 | You know him? |
6459 | You mean if we can file those papers first they stand good in law? |
6459 | You mean you could n''t hear any sound of the ponies''hoofs? |
6459 | You say that Bell and his outfit start to- morrow? |
6459 | You say that the tall chap yonder is Jim, Bell? |
6459 | You say the vehicle is n''t invented that will cross that stretch of alkali? |
6459 | You''ll help us escape? |
6459 | You''re a girl of real grit,he said,"but the others?" |
6459 | You''re certain? |
6459 | And why?" |
6459 | Any of you heard what Jim Bell''s doing in Blue Creek?" |
6459 | Bell?" |
6459 | Bell?" |
6459 | But how far ahead? |
6459 | But what could have become of them? |
6459 | But who can it be?" |
6459 | By the way, reckon you could imitate a coyote, Buck?" |
6459 | CHAPTER IX AGAINST HEAVY ODDS"Any sign of them yet, Roy?" |
6459 | CHAPTER X RESCUED BY AEROPLANE"What''s that down there?" |
6459 | CHAPTER XXIV WHAT CHEWING GUM DID"But, Bud, how?" |
6459 | Could she be losing her mind in the whirling confusion and elemental fury that waged all about her? |
6459 | Did n''t know as you was a sky pilot feller?" |
6459 | Do n''t they eat it or do something with it and then have beautiful dreams? |
6459 | Do you s''pose that any man''ud be foolish enough to locate a rich mine an''then not file a claim to it?" |
6459 | Does it meet with your approval?" |
6459 | Evidently, then, he had been mounted at some time-- presumably recently, but where was his horse? |
6459 | Frightened of what?" |
6459 | From the bottom of the chassis Roy demanded:"Are we too late?" |
6459 | He is--""Will you do what I tell you?" |
6459 | Hot or cold?" |
6459 | How so?" |
6459 | Hyar,"he exclaimed, looking back at the horsemen behind him,"whar''s that dude Chick Berry?" |
6459 | I wonder if that could be what-- what that Mongolian was regarding so closely?" |
6459 | I wonder what he wants?" |
6459 | If not--""If not senor--?" |
6459 | Immediately after breakfast Mr. Bell called the boys aside and said:"How long will it take to get an aeroplane ready?" |
6459 | Is there a storm coming?" |
6459 | It is agreed, is it not, that not a word of our suspicions are to be breathed to the ladies?" |
6459 | Now then, you rascal,"addressing the"romantic bandit,"who had scrambled to his feet,"where are the rest of Red Bill''s precious gang?" |
6459 | Of what dear?" |
6459 | Only Peggy remarked with withering scorn:"I think you might have waited till you were asked, do n''t you?" |
6459 | Peggy, you do n''t think it was anything supernatural, do you?" |
6459 | Say, boys, I wonder ef that''s what Jim Bell''s in Blue Creek fur?" |
6459 | That''s plain enough, eh?" |
6459 | There might be a train leaving within a reasonable time:"Can we get a train there?" |
6459 | Want ter hear about it?" |
6459 | Was it fancy, or as he switched abruptly about did he actually see a dark object duck behind a rock? |
6459 | Was it possible that the coyotes--? |
6459 | What can have happened?" |
6459 | What can he be doing out in this desert country without a horse?" |
6459 | What can it be?" |
6459 | What do you suppose he wants?" |
6459 | What if he should turn out in real earnest to be a desperate character?" |
6459 | What nex''?" |
6459 | What was it he was crying out? |
6459 | What would their next be? |
6459 | What''s all that dust?" |
6459 | Which of you shot it?" |
6459 | Who could be the sharers of their excursion into the untraveled wastes? |
6459 | Who would run the machine if we were n''t along?" |
6459 | Whose-- Roy''s?" |
6459 | Wo n''t they kill you when they find the ponies are gone?" |
6459 | Wonder ef thet feller Juan is learning much?" |
6459 | Would n''t think he wuz a millionaire ter look at him, would yer?" |
6459 | You alters wuz a good tracker?" |
6459 | You know that little jade god that Clara Cummings brought back from China with her when her father resigned as consul there?" |
6459 | You rec''lect that red- hot basin we come through?" |
6459 | You surely do n''t believe all the rot those superstitious Mexicans talk, do you?" |
6459 | You understand?" |
6459 | are you badly hurt, dear?" |
6459 | drawled Bud, as his followers came loping up;"anything I kin do? |
6459 | he demanded;"your sky bronco foundered? |
6459 | inquired Mr. Bell,"you think he''d make an interesting study?" |
6459 | what is the matter with the Senor Bell?" |
52025 | Ai n''t either one o''''em George Hobbes? |
52025 | Ai n''t in no rush, are ye? |
52025 | An''thar''s a thousand out fer him? |
52025 | And those forged I O U''s-- where did you learn about them? |
52025 | Are we going to St. Paul for an interview? |
52025 | Are you Newt Prebbles? |
52025 | Are you going to let yourself be bluffed by a fellow of his size? |
52025 | Are you willing to take a little risk, Prebbles? |
52025 | Aëroplanes are built to sell, are n''t they? |
52025 | B''ar, painter, ur catamount? |
52025 | By night as well as by day? |
52025 | Can you hang on? |
52025 | Cheat? |
52025 | Depends on what? |
52025 | Did n''t Matt get away in great shape? |
52025 | Did n''t you find out last night that you had been cheated? |
52025 | Did n''t you hear me say I had work to do? 52025 Did you bring the money?" |
52025 | Do you know any one, in these parts, by the name of Newt Prebbles? |
52025 | Do you know the country between here and Totten? |
52025 | Do you know where we was lame, Ping? |
52025 | Do you live here? |
52025 | Do you think saving my life gives you a right to do that? |
52025 | Go free? |
52025 | Goin''somewheres? |
52025 | Hallo,said the backwoodsman, as he lowered his rifle,"is that so? |
52025 | Has what you''ve got to say anything to do with Murgatroyd? |
52025 | Have n''t you forgotten something, Newt? |
52025 | Have you got any matches? |
52025 | He cheated you? |
52025 | Hev we got ter waste our vallyble time pusson''ly conductin''sich a missable galoot across the border? |
52025 | How are the police going to locate Murgatroyd? |
52025 | How are we going to know we''re keeping the course, pard? |
52025 | How are you? |
52025 | How can you make any profit off them if you do n''t sell them? |
52025 | How did he happen to come here, Newt? |
52025 | How did you happen to be around here in that flying machine? |
52025 | How long have we been in the air, Ping? |
52025 | How many I O U''s for gambling debts did you leave in Jamestown, Prebbles, when you left there? |
52025 | How so? |
52025 | How will the roads be after this rain? |
52025 | How''ll you get from here to Bismarck? |
52025 | How''s Prebbles, O''Hara? |
52025 | How? |
52025 | I guess I was of some use, after all, eh, Matt? 52025 I wonder if you really mean to shell out enough to take me that far?" |
52025 | Is he there, now? |
52025 | Is that the truth? |
52025 | Is the sickness serious? |
52025 | It''u''d be a feather in yer cap if ye toted him in, would n''t it? |
52025 | Jest takin''a leetle fly fer the fun o''the thing? |
52025 | Jump on when she''s goin''sixty miles an hour? |
52025 | Kin you swim? |
52025 | Mebbyso Melican men makee chase fo''McGloly and Ping, huh? |
52025 | Motor Matt,said he,"are you telling me the truth about my father? |
52025 | Ping comes in on the deal, does he? |
52025 | Plaps we lun, ketchee Matt, no lettee Melican men ketchee us? |
52025 | Risk? 52025 Say, what d''ye think my scalp''s wuth?" |
52025 | Say, you,he cried angrily,"what you putting up this kind of a deal on us for? |
52025 | Sit me up in a chair, ca n''t you? |
52025 | Sounds easy, do n''t it? 52025 Speak to me about that, will you? |
52025 | Spearman,he went on,"are you such a fool you think you can punish me by allowing this man his freedom?" |
52025 | Suppose Prebbles does n''t care to risk his neck in the machine? |
52025 | Suppose an accident happens to the flying machine,said he,"and you are dropped on the open prairie, fifty miles from anywhere? |
52025 | Suppose we let this Motor Matt, as you call him, go free? 52025 Tell me, Hen,"he proceeded,"what we''re goin''ter do to the low- down tinhorn who run in them fancy tricks on us at the bunk house?" |
52025 | That''s your brand, is it? |
52025 | Then,continued Matt,"how did it happen that Murgatroyd had several duebills, signed by you?" |
52025 | Then,said Cameron, with sudden animation,"I''m to get leave and go with you by train, to- morrow morning, to Bismarck, on our way to Burnt Creek?" |
52025 | Was n''t expecting to find me here, eh? |
52025 | We''ll have to wait here till ye git back, wo n''t we? |
52025 | Well, then,bristled McGlory,"maybe you''ll explain why you helped Murgatroyd down Matt, in the first place?" |
52025 | Whar ye goin''? 52025 What are you doing that for?" |
52025 | What are you trying to pry into my business affairs for? |
52025 | What are you, by profession-- a cowboy or a gambler? |
52025 | What did you stop us for? |
52025 | What do you think, pard? |
52025 | What have I been paying you, for? 52025 What have you got to say?" |
52025 | What in thunder''s the matter now? |
52025 | What is it, O''Hara? |
52025 | What is it, old feller? |
52025 | What made you come so slow? |
52025 | What next, Matt? |
52025 | What of that? |
52025 | What other way is there? |
52025 | What sort of a looking man was this Hobbes? |
52025 | What was that, pard? |
52025 | What were you intending to do here? |
52025 | What will you do with Prebbles, if he''s well enough to go? |
52025 | What you got thar, Bull? |
52025 | What you shorthorns gassin''about? |
52025 | What''s doin''? |
52025 | What''s that? |
52025 | What''s that? |
52025 | What''s that? |
52025 | What''s to be done? |
52025 | What''s yer bizness in these parts? |
52025 | When d''ye leave thar? |
52025 | When did you get here, Murg? |
52025 | When did you leave Jamestown? |
52025 | When did you see him? 52025 When will he be back?" |
52025 | Where is Newt now? |
52025 | Where''ll we come down? |
52025 | Where''s the old man, Prebbles? |
52025 | Which ye''d git? |
52025 | Who are you? |
52025 | Who is he? |
52025 | Who told you about those duebills? |
52025 | Who''s Leftenant Cameron? |
52025 | Who''s got the money that was won at the bunk house? |
52025 | Why did it break? |
52025 | Why did n''t you fellows hurry up? |
52025 | Why did n''t you wait in the town until the rain was over? |
52025 | Why did you jump on him like that? |
52025 | Why do n''t you go hunting for Murgatroyd? |
52025 | Why kain''t I git in thar with him,asked Spearman,"an''travel with the machine right from the start?" |
52025 | Why not get an automobile from Devil''s Lake City,suggested Cameron,"and reach Jamestown in time to connect with an earlier train?" |
52025 | Why not leave him here and let me go with you? |
52025 | Why not leave the Chinaman behind and take me? |
52025 | Why so? |
52025 | Why were you chasing me in that air ship, then? |
52025 | Will I? 52025 Wonder what folks''ll invent next? |
52025 | Ye''re purty good at jumpin'',jeered another,"so why do n''t ye jump aboard? |
52025 | You know this fellow, then? |
52025 | You''ll see that it is returned? |
52025 | You''re still determined to go into the show business, Matt? |
52025 | And how did he happen to tell you anything like that?" |
52025 | And how has the spark worked? |
52025 | And what sort of a trail are we leaving?" |
52025 | And_ draw_? |
52025 | Are you any better off?" |
52025 | As a soldier in the ranks, had he the right to take this advantage of his employer? |
52025 | But was it a false step? |
52025 | But what''s Newt writing to_ him_ for? |
52025 | But what''s he doing here? |
52025 | But who cares? |
52025 | But who is it ye have along?" |
52025 | But ye heered me say we''d cut our eyeteeth, did n''t ye? |
52025 | Do you know the man?" |
52025 | Ever get a hunch like that and not be able to explain how you got it?" |
52025 | Got any weppins among ye?" |
52025 | Has it been make or break with him? |
52025 | Have you a lantern, Newt?" |
52025 | He can gouge and strip a man, while sayin''he''s actin''for Hobbes, see?" |
52025 | He is dangerously sick at Fort Totten? |
52025 | Hey, pard?" |
52025 | Hey? |
52025 | How did he pass the night?" |
52025 | How does it hit ye?" |
52025 | How far do you make it, Matt, to where we''re going?" |
52025 | How fast are we going?" |
52025 | How shall I get back to Bismarck after you release me?" |
52025 | I did what I could for you-- remember that? |
52025 | I reckon the boot''s on the other leg, this deal, hey, Slim?" |
52025 | I reckon ye''ve laughed a- considerable about that, hey? |
52025 | I reckon, Motor Matt, ye''re plumb anxious ter take him ter Totten, ai n''t ye?" |
52025 | I wonder if you know how hard it is for a man like me to bring up a boy without a good woman to help? |
52025 | If that''s so, why are you afraid to face the music? |
52025 | Is it worth while to take hush money from him? |
52025 | Is that yerself, Motor Matt?" |
52025 | Is the scoundrel worth protecting? |
52025 | Know what that is, do n''t you, Matt? |
52025 | Matt, you old sphinx, why did n''t you say something about this before?" |
52025 | McGlory,"and here the lieutenant turned to the cowboy,"do you feel as much like flying, this morning, as you did last night?" |
52025 | Never reckoned nothin'', did we? |
52025 | Now what would you be afther thinkin''av that? |
52025 | Now, what''s been going on here?" |
52025 | Or have you a partnership interest in it? |
52025 | Pris''ner, hev ye got anythin''ter say?" |
52025 | Say, do you think he''s come to tell us something about Murg?" |
52025 | Share and share alike? |
52025 | Take him up to Cameron''s quarters at once, will you?" |
52025 | That is your name, is it?" |
52025 | Think you can manage it?" |
52025 | WHAT NEXT? |
52025 | WHAT NEXT? |
52025 | Waal, now, ai n''t this here a pleasin''surprise-- fer us? |
52025 | Was Prebbles to send that letter on without first seeing what was inside it? |
52025 | Was it the handle of his revolver?" |
52025 | Whar d''ye hail from?" |
52025 | What are you about?" |
52025 | What could he, and McGlory, and Ping do against six armed cowboys who, because of their hostility, would not listen to reason? |
52025 | What do you say?" |
52025 | What does Newt know about Murgatroyd? |
52025 | What in thunder ur you doin''up thar?" |
52025 | What kinder way is that ter treat a feller? |
52025 | What more do you want?" |
52025 | What say, Slim?" |
52025 | What sort of way is that to act toward the man who saved you from drowning?" |
52025 | What was the amount of money you stole from the Tin Cup outfit?" |
52025 | What''s the use of hoofin''it, or ridin''in railroad cars, when you can pick up a pair of wings and a motor and go gallywhooping through the air?" |
52025 | What''s this about the accident to Traquair? |
52025 | What''s your business with Newt Prebbles?" |
52025 | Where did you find the sheriff, Cameron?" |
52025 | Which of you uses that name? |
52025 | While we were losing all this time, what will Murgatroyd be doing?" |
52025 | Who asked for your help? |
52025 | Who is he?" |
52025 | Who''d''a''thort it possible?" |
52025 | Who''s the gent on the floor?" |
52025 | Why did it break?" |
52025 | Why do you want to shirk the consequences?" |
52025 | Will he and young Prebbles stay at Burnt Creek until we arrive? |
52025 | Wonder how Matt''s getting along, advancing that spark? |
52025 | Would the jolt disengage the man''s hands, or have any serious effect on the_ Comet_? |
52025 | You can trust me to advance the spark of friendship, ca n''t you?" |
52025 | You got my letter all right?" |
52025 | You''ve found out a lot about me, but how much have you told me about yourself? |
52025 | roared McGlory, as the air ship swept downward to within fifty feet of the ground,"what town is this?" |
51343 | Air line? |
51343 | And how far are you from Minnewaukon? |
51343 | And how,went on Matt,"can Murgatroyd hope to make Mrs. Traquair give up the claim?" |
51343 | And your claim does n''t join the Traquair quarter section? |
51343 | Anythin''else you want ter know? |
51343 | Anything else? |
51343 | Are you acquainted with the country around here? |
51343 | Are you hurt? |
51343 | But what good''s a cool head and plenty of pluck if a flying machine up- ends with you a couple of hundred feet in the air? |
51343 | But what has Phillips to do with Fortescue and the plans? |
51343 | But what makes that rusty piece of steel so important? |
51343 | But,cried Matt,"does Siwash Charley look like Ca nt Phillips?" |
51343 | Cloud Joss no makee come, huh? |
51343 | Could you tell me where Harry Traquair used to live? |
51343 | Did I? 51343 Did that coyote of a Pecos Jones set ye loose?" |
51343 | Did ye see that? |
51343 | Did-- did he take anything else? |
51343 | Do n''t I allers have grub? |
51343 | Do n''t you think the Traquair machine will ever be used for commercial purposes? 51343 Do you hear it?" |
51343 | Do you know Matthews very well, Matt? |
51343 | Do you know what that is, Siwash? |
51343 | Do you mean Siwash Charley, Matt? |
51343 | Do you remember counting your gold this morning, Siwash? |
51343 | Got any grub, Siwash? |
51343 | Got away from''em? |
51343 | Got yer ottermobill fixin''s on, eh? |
51343 | Have I got to answer that? 51343 Have you any proof of it?" |
51343 | Have you got one handy? |
51343 | He does n''t look like a rascal, or----"Will you mind? |
51343 | He says he has a claim joining Traquair''s on the----"Yes, I know what he says, but where is the proof that what he says is true? 51343 Hear what?" |
51343 | Him? |
51343 | How are you, pard? |
51343 | How could Siwash Charley get hold of the knife? |
51343 | How does Pecos Jones happen to be here? |
51343 | How does the handwriting compare? 51343 How far is it to Sykestown?" |
51343 | How in the world could Murgatroyd lure Mrs. Traquair away from Jamestown? |
51343 | How many letters ye goin''ter write, Murg? |
51343 | How much money did that fellow get from you, Matt? |
51343 | How much too long is that pipe? |
51343 | How''n thunder did ye make it, then? |
51343 | How''s that? |
51343 | I reckon,he observed as he ate,"I ought ter have a good bit o''money fer what I done, eh, Siwash?" |
51343 | Is Pecos Jones known at Fort Totten? |
51343 | Is he done for? |
51343 | Is he far from here? |
51343 | Is n''t Mrs. Traquair at the homestead? |
51343 | It will take you an hour or two, I suppose, to get the machine repaired? |
51343 | Matt has n''t got here yet? |
51343 | Murg wo n''t, but what does Siwash Charley care? 51343 No sign of Matt yet, eh?" |
51343 | Phillips? |
51343 | Sho,muttered the horseman;"hit it first clatter out o''the box, did n''t I?" |
51343 | Siwash,he asked,"what''s going to be done with that flying machine?" |
51343 | Talks big, do n''t he, Murg? |
51343 | The aëroplane? |
51343 | The knife belonged to Captain Goff Fortescue? |
51343 | Then you''re from Jamestown? |
51343 | This must be the very satchel, do n''t you think,he added,"that the drummer received by mistake, over in Devil''s Lake City?" |
51343 | Those other two fellows who helped you at Totten-- where are they, Siwash? |
51343 | Toy? |
51343 | Trouble? 51343 Tryin''ter git loose, hey?" |
51343 | Was he to meet you in Sykestown? |
51343 | Was that story of yours a lie? |
51343 | We no ketchee Matt, mebbyso we ketchee Murg, huh? |
51343 | What are the initials? 51343 What are the other conditions?" |
51343 | What are you doing in this part of the country? |
51343 | What did Mrs. Traquair say to you? |
51343 | What did he play that bloomin''trick on me fer? 51343 What did that coyote do?" |
51343 | What do you suppose that swatty is after, Cameron? |
51343 | What do you want to''get''him fer? |
51343 | What does it say? |
51343 | What else do you think I mean? |
51343 | What in Sam Hill is the matter, McGlory? |
51343 | What is it to you, or that scoundrel with you, whether I am hurt or not? |
51343 | What is the meaning of this? |
51343 | What is your answer? |
51343 | What kind of a place is this? |
51343 | What tleleglam say, huh? |
51343 | What ye goin''ter do, Motor Matt? |
51343 | What you fellers roughin''things up with me fer? 51343 What''s Murgatroyd up to, Siwash?" |
51343 | What''s the matter with you, Ping? |
51343 | What''s the use of waiting? |
51343 | What''s up, Matt? |
51343 | What''s wanted? |
51343 | What''s yer scheme? |
51343 | Where are you taking me? |
51343 | Where did the telegram come from? |
51343 | Where did you get this, Ping? |
51343 | Where have you been, Ping? |
51343 | Where''s McGlory? |
51343 | Where''s Ping? |
51343 | Which is the road to Jessup''s? |
51343 | Who ever heard of the like of that? |
51343 | Who warned you? |
51343 | Who''ll make us pay? |
51343 | Who''s thar? |
51343 | Who''s that? |
51343 | Why did n''t I hit him? |
51343 | Why did n''t she let Hackberry bring the deputy sheriff from Sykestown? 51343 Why did n''t ye tell me he was at the winder?" |
51343 | Why did n''t you let me hit him, Cameron, or else hit him yourself? |
51343 | Why did you do that, Uncle Amos? |
51343 | Why did you try to bring him down, anyhow? |
51343 | Why do n''t you take after Pecos, Siwash? |
51343 | Why had he the plans and memoranda in his possession? 51343 Why is he writing to Mrs. Traquair if she''s a prisoner of his, out on the Traquair homestead?" |
51343 | Why should I? |
51343 | Why wo n''t ye? |
51343 | Why, you little wart,he answered,"how much pay d''ye want fer goin''ter Totten an''back? |
51343 | Why? |
51343 | Will ye go right on ter Sykestown ter- night? |
51343 | Will you let me have this for a little while, Matt? |
51343 | Ye did n''t think it would take me more''n a day and a night to git back from Totten, did ye? 51343 Ye know whar that cache is?" |
51343 | Ye''ll go by the way of Sykestown? |
51343 | Yes? |
51343 | You ca n''t? |
51343 | You got a letter from Mrs. Traquair the other day, did n''t you, Matt? |
51343 | You got me into this,begged Matt,"and why not set me at liberty?" |
51343 | You savvy knife, Motol Matt? |
51343 | You took the girl away and got Siwash Charley, eh, Murgatroyd? |
51343 | You will take it up with your superior officer at Fort Totten? |
51343 | Your name Murgatroyd? |
51343 | 25 AUG. 14, 1909 FIVE CENTS MOTOR MATT''S REVERSE OR CAUGHT IN A LOSING CAUSE_ BY THE AUTHOR OF"MOTOR MATT"_[ Illustration:_"Are you hurt"? |
51343 | Ai n''t sixty dollars enough?" |
51343 | And the scheme worked, hey?" |
51343 | And where were the suit case and the plans?" |
51343 | And why should a letter be written to Mrs. Traquair when she, like Matt, was supposed to be a prisoner of Murgatroyd''s? |
51343 | Bein''such a friend o''Harry Traquair''s, why should n''t I try ter help his wife? |
51343 | But, how in Heaven''s name, was it possible for Mrs. Traquair to let herself be spirited away?" |
51343 | Ca n''t you do any better than this, Cameron?" |
51343 | Calm down a little, ca n''t you? |
51343 | Can you make them out?" |
51343 | Did you ever run into anything like this before?" |
51343 | Hackberry?" |
51343 | Hackberry?" |
51343 | Had Cameron got the matter right? |
51343 | Hear that, Cameron? |
51343 | Hit her up, ca n''t you, Cameron? |
51343 | How about you, McGlory?" |
51343 | How could I help knowing when Pecos Jones rifled it under my eyes?" |
51343 | How long''ll ye be?" |
51343 | How was he to free himself? |
51343 | How''s Siwash?" |
51343 | Hungry?" |
51343 | I felt fairly certain, Siwash, that you would be here, so----""Well, what''s your scheme?" |
51343 | I reckon we''d better go back the same way I come, hey?" |
51343 | If she was a prisoner at the homestead, why was Murgatroyd writing a letter? |
51343 | If the girl felt in this way, why had Murgatroyd had her along while pursuing his dark schemes against Mrs. Traquair? |
51343 | Is it the same in the letter as it is in these two scraps brought in by Hackberry?" |
51343 | Is it your intention to go there?" |
51343 | Is n''t that a horse I see against the background of a hill, over there?" |
51343 | Murgatroyd?" |
51343 | Page 21, corrected"himstlf"to"himself"("How was he to free himself? |
51343 | Say, what sort of a lookin''feller is this Siwash Charley?" |
51343 | Sixty cases, eh?" |
51343 | Suppose Siwash Charley had dropped the knife?" |
51343 | Suppose we give it a closer inspection?" |
51343 | That do n''t make Murg feel anyways good, does it? |
51343 | Them fellers at Totten arter you, too, Murg?" |
51343 | There were some hills, but what were hills and roads to him while in the air? |
51343 | Traquair?" |
51343 | Traquair?" |
51343 | Traquair?" |
51343 | Traquair?" |
51343 | Was Siwash Charley really the deserter, Ca nt Phillips? |
51343 | Was n''t luck ever to turn for him? |
51343 | Was there to be no end to this reverse which had come his way? |
51343 | Whar''d he go?" |
51343 | Whar''s that coyote? |
51343 | What d''ye think he wants me fer?" |
51343 | What did they contain? |
51343 | What did ye accomplish, huh? |
51343 | What do you say, Cameron?" |
51343 | What do you think it was?" |
51343 | What kind o''trouble kin she make?" |
51343 | What sort of a place is this, anyhow?" |
51343 | What''ll Mr. Murgatroyd do with his car?" |
51343 | What''s he wasting ammunition like that for?" |
51343 | What''s the result if Murg and Siwash get Matt in their clutches?" |
51343 | What''s this game you''ve put up on Motor Matt?" |
51343 | When''ll ye start?" |
51343 | Where is Motor Matt?" |
51343 | Where is it?" |
51343 | Where''ll we meet in case we get separated?" |
51343 | Which is him?" |
51343 | Who is this fellow Hackberry?" |
51343 | Why did n''t ye tell me afore?" |
51343 | Why did n''t you come by train?" |
51343 | Why had he not gone there? |
51343 | Why had the broker written the letters to Cameron, McGlory, and Mrs. Traquair? |
51343 | Wonder if there''s anythin''else in there?" |
51343 | Would anything happen to the machine while he was a prisoner in the hands of Murgatroyd and Siwash? |
51343 | Would the new aëroplane be easy or difficult to learn? |
51343 | Ye see, I got a claim over there, an''---- But say, are ye plumb sure it''s safe fer us ter talk? |
51343 | You found the dagger there?" |
51343 | You savvy place Siwash cally Ping one piecee night he fool with Flying Joss?" |
52138 | Ai n''t you going on with us to look up the Hindoos and Haidee? |
52138 | All ready, Haidee? |
52138 | Am I to understand,he went on, taking a look at the gathering crowds,"that you''ll break your contract rather than take Haidee up with you?" |
52138 | And I''m giving the fifty on top of that for taking the girl up with you? |
52138 | And then he locked Carl inside? |
52138 | And took off his turban and embroidered coat and replaced them with another hat and coat? |
52138 | And you agreed to it? |
52138 | And you do n''t want to see Haidee killed before your eyes, do you? |
52138 | And you gave her something to be used in setting the aëroplane afire? |
52138 | And you''ll scatter the paper? |
52138 | Any one coming on either road? |
52138 | Anything but the letters? |
52138 | Are n''t you going to take me up with the_ Comet_? |
52138 | Are we on the wrong track, after all, in spite of your Dutch friend and his paper trail, and McGlory''s reading the signs at the monkey wagon? |
52138 | Are you all ready for me, Motor Matt? |
52138 | Are you all right? |
52138 | Are you mad at me, Motor Matt? |
52138 | Are you mad? |
52138 | But you wo n''t be more than two days here, will you, Matt? |
52138 | Can you savvy it? |
52138 | Did n''t you discover the trick Boss Burton played on me with the help of Haidee and Le Bon, Joe? |
52138 | Did she know how to perform on the trapeze-- she, the niece of a powerful rajah and daughter of an English gentleman? |
52138 | Did you ever know me to shy at a meal? |
52138 | Do n''t you feel well? |
52138 | Do you know where Aurung Zeeb and Haidee went? |
52138 | Do you remember what happened during the parade? |
52138 | Do? |

52138 | Don''d you vas going to pay me someding? |
52138 | Going to hang back before we run out the trail, Burton? |
52138 | Have you seen Ping, Haidee? |
52138 | How about something to eat? |
52138 | How are you feeling, Haidee? |
52138 | How can it be a long chase when we''re going like this? 52138 How can that be?" |
52138 | How do you figure it, Matt? |
52138 | How much have you made at the business, Carl? |
52138 | How you vas? |
52138 | How''d Ben Ali ever manage to do that? |
52138 | How- do, sahib? |
52138 | I wonder if I could pick up the trail and find which way the outfit went? |
52138 | I''m paying you five hundred a week for the stunt you pull off with the flying machine, ai n''t I? |
52138 | If you do n''t want to take Haidee, will you take Archie le Bon? |
52138 | Is she subject to spells of that kind? |
52138 | Is this what you call treating me square? |
52138 | Iss der any vone connected mit der show vat has a shtrawperry mark on der arm? |

52138 | Motor Matt, you''re not going to keep me from making that extra money? 52138 My workee fo''Motol Matt,"whispered Ping, who had likewise been given a push by the cowboy;"Dutchy boy no workee, huh?" |
52138 | On Haidee''s account? |
52138 | Pay? |

52138 | Say, misder, iss dis der shteam cantalope tent? |
52138 | See any one? |
52138 | She was n''t hurt, was she? |
52138 | So? 52138 Strawberry mark on the arm?" |
52138 | Sure of that? |
52138 | Telegrams? |
52138 | Then, first, who are you? |
52138 | There is n''t another show trying to hire you away from me, is there? 52138 Vat oof der Hindoos ged avay from you und come ad me?" |
52138 | Vat''s dose? |
52138 | Vat''s dot? 52138 Was she hypnotized when she came to the aëroplane and played that trick to go up in the machine with me?" |
52138 | Was that your Dutch pard? |
52138 | We must have been three or four hundred feet away from you, Joe,returned Matt,"and how could you see it was a hatpin?" |
52138 | What ails that brown rascal? |
52138 | What are you leading up to by this sort of talk? |
52138 | What could have gone wrong with him? |
52138 | What did Ben Ali do? |
52138 | What do you make of it, Joe? |
52138 | What do you make out of that move of Haidee''s? |
52138 | What do you s''pose Motor Matt would think of this, Ping? |
52138 | What do you suppose Ben Ali was listening to Carl''s talk for, there on the inside of the menagerie tent? |
52138 | What do you think of it, Matt? |
52138 | What does your uncle, Ben Ali, think of it, Haidee? |
52138 | What else is there in the box, Joe? |
52138 | What happened? |
52138 | What is it? |
52138 | What is it? |
52138 | What is that, sahib? |
52138 | What is your uncle looking this way for, Haidee? |
52138 | What sort of a cowboy are you, anyhow? |
52138 | What sort of a job did they give you, Carl? |
52138 | What the dickens did Ben Ali want to run off Carl for? |
52138 | What was it, pard? |
52138 | What was it? |
52138 | What''s amiss? |
52138 | What''s an aëroplane? 52138 What''s become of Ping?" |
52138 | What''s inside? |
52138 | What''s on your mind? |
52138 | What''s that white object in the road? |
52138 | What''s that? |
52138 | What''s that? |
52138 | What''s the matter with Ben Ali? |
52138 | What''s the matter with the girl? |
52138 | What''s the matter with you two kids? |
52138 | What''s the matter with you, pard? |
52138 | What''s the matter with you? |
52138 | What''s the matter with your niece? |
52138 | What''s the matter? |
52138 | What''s the trouble here, boys? |
52138 | What''s the use of being put out with you? 52138 What''s to pay, sis?" |
52138 | When was this? |
52138 | Where am I? 52138 Where did Haidee go?" |
52138 | Where did the call come from? |
52138 | Where did the girl come in? |
52138 | Where did you get the runabout, Carl? |
52138 | Where did you pick up Ben Ali and Haidee? |
52138 | Where was Ben Ali? |
52138 | Where''d that ijut come from? |
52138 | Where''d you leave the memorandum book? |
52138 | Where''s Ben Ali? |
52138 | Where''s Carl? |
52138 | Where''s Haidee? |
52138 | Who could have started the fire, if it was n''t the girl? |
52138 | Who left der cage toor oben? |
52138 | Who was the fellow? 52138 Why ca n''t you understand that I''m just as able as ever to do my trapeze work? |
52138 | Why did n''t Carl yell again? |
52138 | Why did you join a show and take the girl with you? |
52138 | Why did you want her to go up on the flying machine? |
52138 | Why not? |
52138 | Why was that? |
52138 | Why? |
52138 | Will you talk with me frankly and answer my questions, Ben Ali,proceeded Matt,"providing we promise to let you go?" |
52138 | Worth? |
52138 | Would n''t that rattle your spurs, pard? |
52138 | You can run one of these here buzz- wagons, ca n''t you, Matt? |
52138 | You do n''t mean to say that you want the girl to ride a trapeze under the_ Comet_? |
52138 | You have to do something, do n''t you, before you get the money? |
52138 | You hear me,_ meetoowah_? 52138 You hypnotized her before the parade and told her to do something to make me trouble?" |
52138 | You know pooty near efery vone dot vorks for der show, hey? |
52138 | You say Ben Ali drove up in a wagon? |
52138 | Ah, is that you, Motor Matt? |
52138 | And what happened while I was in the air with Motor Matt? |
52138 | Are you going to try and keep me from dropping under the machine with the trapeze?" |
52138 | But the girl was clear- headed, was n''t she? |
52138 | But where are we going? |
52138 | But, tell me this, what has that old elephant driver, Ben Ali, got to do with Haidee? |
52138 | Ca n''t you see? |
52138 | Can I come in a minute?" |
52138 | Can you do it in time for an ascent to- night? |
52138 | Could he drop to earth, the young motorist was asking himself, before the fire struck either of the gasoline tanks? |
52138 | Could you recognize him?" |
52138 | Crossed wires, or something?" |
52138 | Den vat? |
52138 | Do n''t you know how to take care of a horse?" |
52138 | Do n''t you know who we are?" |
52138 | Do you think he ought to be bounced?" |
52138 | Eh, Joe?" |
52138 | Great spark plugs, old chap, where did you drop from?" |
52138 | Haf- a you seen- a der gal?" |
52138 | Haf- a you seen- a der girl aroundt loose some- a- veres?" |
52138 | Have you any notion what he means by that sort of work?" |
52138 | Have you written to London to secure further information?" |
52138 | He did n''t look like himself, so why not be some one else? |
52138 | How do you account for that?" |
52138 | How in the world did the machine take fire? |
52138 | How long will it take you to fix up the machine? |
52138 | How mooch iss a t''ousant pounds in Unidet Shtates money, hey?" |
52138 | How mooch iss i d vort''?" |
52138 | How vas I going to lif in der meandime, huh? |

52138 | How_ could_ he drop''em? |
52138 | I wonder if Haidee knows what she''s about?" |
52138 | If he is, just how much has the girl''s queer actions to do with Ben Ali? |
52138 | Modor Matt? |
52138 | Say, vonce, iss Modor Matt aroundt der blace?" |
52138 | Suppose she were to have one while we''re in the air? |
52138 | That trapeze act on the aëroplane will make a great hit, do n''t you think?" |
52138 | That''s fair, ai n''t it?" |
52138 | Und vat I ged? |

52138 | Vere iss he, misder?" |
52138 | WAS IT TREACHERY? |
52138 | WAS IT TREACHERY? |
52138 | Was he making a fool of himself or not? |
52138 | What are we doing here? |
52138 | What did he say about her? |
52138 | What did you run away from us for?" |
52138 | What do you think of that Haidee girl to do a thing like this? |
52138 | What does an elephant driver know about hypnotism? |
52138 | What happened during the parade this morning? |
52138 | What has that crafty mahout got at the back of his head? |
52138 | What possessed the girl?" |
52138 | What was passing in her mind? |
52138 | What will you do with the aëroplane?" |
52138 | What would Motor Matt think of his nerve if he could know the game he had embarked upon, and how he had been stampeded in playing it? |
52138 | What''s her notion about it? |
52138 | What''s the matter with you? |
52138 | What''s this?" |
52138 | When and how, Ping?" |
52138 | When are you going to get busy with the repairs?" |
52138 | When you come to that, why should she want to take her own life? |
52138 | Where are the other two?" |
52138 | Where did they come from?" |
52138 | Where''ll I send it?" |
52138 | Why have you got the rig here? |
52138 | Why should she want to destroy the_ Comet_, or me? |
52138 | Why?" |
52138 | Will I do?" |
52138 | Would a trained detective have proceeded in that manner? |
52138 | Would she want to burn the aëroplane and drop herself and me plump into the show grounds? |
52138 | You forget all that, huh?" |
52138 | You understan''? |
52138 | You understand that, do n''t you?" |
52138 | You understand,_ meetoowah_?" |
52138 | You understand?" |
52138 | You understand?" |
52138 | You vas vorking for der show, Matt?" |
52138 | You''ll bring along the automobile, Matt?" |
52138 | _ Kabultah, meetoowah?_""Yes, yes,"breathed the girl,"I understand. |
52138 | jested the showman impatiently;"in the monkey wagon?" |
52138 | she exclaimed, with a sharp cry,"where am I?" |
52891 | Afraidt? |
52891 | Ai n''t you fer the Rapids? |
52891 | And it was from Ben Ali? |
52891 | And that Pard Matt trailed after him? |
52891 | And where does he want to meet Dhondaram? |
52891 | Are you Matt King,he asked,"the fellow they call Motor Matt?" |
52891 | Are you flagging me? |
52891 | Are you going to try that, all alone, in the_ Comet_? |
52891 | Are you holding on, Miss Manners? |
52891 | Be back there in time to take the aëroplane aloft at six- thirty? 52891 But, look here, do you see the station yonder?" |
52891 | By Jerry,he cried,"what am I giving you your salary for? |
52891 | Ca n''t you tell me what you''re going to do? |
52891 | Can he read that Hindoostanee lingo? 52891 Den it_ vas_ you, hey? |
52891 | Dhondaram did n''t get the money? |
52891 | Did either of you ever see a prettier bit of traveling? 52891 Did we?" |
52891 | Did you see the look Dhondaram gave him while he was handing us that long palaver? 52891 Did you set that Roman candle to goin''?" |
52891 | Didju fall off? |
52891 | Disappeared? |
52891 | Ditn''t I findt dot Margaret Manners vat vas draveling mit der show? 52891 Do you think,"asked Matt,"that we could go to that place on the Elgin road and meet Ben Ali instead of letting Dhondaram do it?" |
52891 | Does Ben Ali know about this house of yours? |
52891 | Does he think I can read Hindoostanee? |
52891 | Doing an aëroplane stunt with the show? |
52891 | From what you said at that house with the green shutters, I take it you''re not going back to the show with me? |
52891 | Haf you prought der money? |
52891 | Has Bill Wily any right to it? |
52891 | Have you any idea that Ben Ali is mixed up in the affair? |
52891 | Have you any idea who the man was that called on the English woman in Lafayette and took Miss Manners away? |
52891 | He treated you well? |
52891 | Hit the trail? |
52891 | How are you going about it? |
52891 | How could you expect me to do a thing like that without getting a nick or two? 52891 How did he know we wanted Wily?" |
52891 | How did you happen to be here? |
52891 | How dit der gandle go off mit itseluf? 52891 How do you know the opening is big enough for you to come down in? |
52891 | How you like der pooty firevorks? |
52891 | How you was, Dutch? |
52891 | How''ll Ben Ali think Dhondaram is running the_ Comet_, pard? |
52891 | Hurt? |
52891 | I do n''t have to tell what''s in the letter in order to prove it''s mine, see? 52891 I know dot, aber vill I ged it? |
52891 | Is he crazy, or what? |
52891 | Is n''t the envelope addressed? |
52891 | Is n''t there a name on the letter? |
52891 | Is that so, Carl? |
52891 | Is there no way out of this hole, sahib? |
52891 | Join the show? |
52891 | Just how sorry are you? 52891 Just where is that cot, my dear sir?" |
52891 | Load that machine into the runabout and drive this rig back to the show grounds for me, will you? |
52891 | Markley, do you know you are going at the rate of sixty miles an hour? |
52891 | Matter? |
52891 | Now what? |
52891 | So that''s it, eh? |
52891 | So you put the kibosh on our brown friend all by yourself, did you? |
52891 | Somebody''s blunder? |
52891 | Speak to me about it, will you? 52891 Suppose Ben Ali sees only one man on the machine, and thinks that the man is Dhondaram?" |
52891 | Suppose we should come in on him from both sides at once? |
52891 | That''s your game, is it? |
52891 | Then there''s no telling how long Bill Wily has carried it in his pocket? |
52891 | Then where did they go? |
52891 | Then you went in, looked around, and could n''t see anything of either of them? |
52891 | There are others, you say? |
52891 | They made tracks for a house with green blinds? 52891 Too much weather for the flyin''machine to- day, huh? |
52891 | Vas you looking for me to pay ofer dot rewart? |

52891 | What can we do for you? |
52891 | What did he jump from the car for if he wanted to go on with us? 52891 What did you do with your part of the letter?" |
52891 | What do you think of yourself, hey? |
52891 | What does that mean? |
52891 | What does the letter say? |
52891 | What good''s a flying machine, pard, when a spell of weather puts it down and out? 52891 What had Ben Ali to say to you?" |
52891 | What have you got to do with this house? |
52891 | What have you got up your sleeve? |
52891 | What is it? |
52891 | What letter? |
52891 | What sort of a way is that to act, Bill Wily? |
52891 | What sort of writing is this? |
52891 | What the nation was he following Wily for? |
52891 | What was Dhondaram''s work? |
52891 | What was the matter? |
52891 | What was you chasin''me for, Motor Matt? |
52891 | What yuh got there? |
52891 | What''re you making a run from the show grounds for without saying a word to Matt? |
52891 | What''re you roughing things up like this for, Wily? |
52891 | What''s he givin''us? |
52891 | What''s our next jump, your highness? |
52891 | What''s the good? |
52891 | What''s the matter when you set out in an automobile and do n''t arrive where you''re going? 52891 What''s the matter?" |
52891 | What''s the price for a trip on the_ Comet_? |
52891 | What''s to pay? |
52891 | What''s up? |
52891 | What''ve I done? |
52891 | What''ve you got to say for yourself? |
52891 | Where did Ben Ali send his letter from? |
52891 | Where did he get it? |
52891 | Where did the man take you? |
52891 | Where does your air- ship line run? |

52891 | Who knows whether there''s an opening there or not? |
52891 | Who was he? |
52891 | Who was the man who impersonated the agent of the British ambassador? |
52891 | Who''s it for? |
52891 | Why are you treating me like this? |
52891 | Why did n''t you grab him,demanded Burton,"and turn him over to me?" |
52891 | Why did n''t you wait and give us a chance? |

52891 | You''re not afraid? |
52891 | You''re not goin''to bear down too hard on me, are you, Burton? |
52891 | Yuh goin''to give me that? |
52891 | Aber he von''t say vat iss in der ledder, so how could I know?" |
52891 | Am I correct?" |
52891 | And the girl-- who was she? |
52891 | And was there any one at home? |
52891 | And where''s Pard Matt?" |
52891 | Backsliding, eh?" |
52891 | But what are you making the flight for, if not to please the people?" |
52891 | Can you give any information, Motor Matt, that will help us find Ben Ali, or Miss Manners?" |
52891 | Chadwick''s?" |
52891 | Come back to earth now, and tell me what''s on your mind?" |
52891 | Dhondaram, I make no doubt, is highly gifted, but will Ben Ali credit him with skill enough to operate the aëroplane?" |
52891 | Did n''t I just tell you it was lost? |
52891 | Did you see me coming back from the oak opening?" |
52891 | Did you think I was Dhondaram? |
52891 | Dit you make all der drouples? |
52891 | Ditn''t I get dot Ben Ali Hindoo feller on der run? |
52891 | Ditn''t I vin fife tousant tollars?" |
52891 | Everything''s lovely, eh?" |
52891 | Had he lost his matches in taking that header from the street car? |
52891 | Hey?" |
52891 | How could I lose somet''ing vat I do n''t got?" |
52891 | How could Matt make him? |
52891 | How could he have done that and then shown up in Kalamazoo the morning we got there?" |
52891 | How''s tricks, huh?" |
52891 | I suppose Ping and Carl are at the show grounds and are looking after the aëroplane?" |
52891 | I used to live in Grand Rapids, and the home town was a good place for me to cut loose from the show, see?" |
52891 | If that''s the case, what''s he doing with the letter?" |
52891 | If there was any one in the place, would they talk with him and tell him whether they had seen Matt or the side- show man? |
52891 | In other words, I''m to tell my business, eh? |
52891 | Iss it shink wriding, Ping?" |
52891 | Motor Matt was afeared to go up, I reckon, Dutch?" |
52891 | Page 1, corrected? |
52891 | Page 18, changed"go"to"got"in"What have you got to do with this house?" |
52891 | Perhaps Wily had rushed out of a rear door, and Matt had followed him? |
52891 | Sit here and wait, or hit the trail ourselves and find out what''s doing?" |
52891 | So that''s what you passed up the afternoon flight for, eh?" |
52891 | Sorry enough to make a clean breast of everything?" |
52891 | Speak to me about this, will you? |
52891 | Subbose we findt oudt vat der ledder iss aboudt?" |
52891 | Then, glad that he was able to change the subject, he remarked:"You losee one piecee papel in tent, Clal?" |
52891 | There was only one idea just then in the Dutch boy''s mind, and that was this:"How dit dot Roman gandle go off mit itseluf? |
52891 | There, how''s that?" |
52891 | They went up the bank and into the woods, you say?" |
52891 | Twomley?" |
52891 | Was he being hypnotized in spite of himself? |
52891 | Was it possible,_ could_ it be possible, that the girl was Margaret Manners? |
52891 | Wha''ju jump onto our stage for?" |
52891 | What about the automobile?" |
52891 | What d''you take me for? |
52891 | What do you think?" |
52891 | What else could I do but make myself safe?" |
52891 | What had become of Motor Matt? |
52891 | What was that?" |
52891 | What was the blunder? |
52891 | What we do?" |
52891 | When''ll you get back to the grounds?" |
52891 | Where did you get the thing, Carl?" |
52891 | Where was the automobile? |
52891 | Where''d you come from, Ping? |
52891 | Where''s Ping? |
52891 | Where''s this house?" |
52891 | Who lived in the house? |
52891 | Who will go?" |
52891 | Who''s the Chinaman?" |
52891 | Why not send''em to jail, where they belong?" |
52891 | Why should we hit it, and what shall we hit it with?" |
52891 | Will you let me take your motorcycle?" |
52891 | Wo n''t he think it queer that Dhondaram is navigating the flying machine? |
52891 | Yet what did that strange weakness mean? |
52891 | You are sure,"the girl asked tremblingly,"that this other agent of the British ambassador is really the person he pretends to be?" |
52891 | You have saved me again, Motor Matt, but what is the use of it all if I ca n''t leave this country and go to England, or back to India? |
52891 | whooped Carl,"vas it you dot douched him off ven der gandle vas my pack pehindt und I don''d see? |
45547 | ''I ca n''t, eh? 45547 ''Where''s the best place to hit you?'' |
45547 | Alive? |
45547 | And did you get him out? |
45547 | And hunt the lion? 45547 And is he here-- alive?" |
45547 | And these runaway boys have done about all of it, have n''t they? |
45547 | And we could take some grapple hooks--"We? |
45547 | And who shot him? |
45547 | Are you goin''to fix up your aeroplane again, or get a new one? |
45547 | Are you going to quit flying? |
45547 | Behind what? |
45547 | Break the ground? |
45547 | But what''s become of the boy? 45547 But why not find the gun first? |
45547 | C- can''t we break the ground here and make the stone fall down? |
45547 | Ca n''t one of you offer a possible explanation? |
45547 | Ca n''t we go with you and hunt for Hal? |
45547 | Can I? |
45547 | Can you tell me where you got it? |
45547 | Could n''t you find him? |
45547 | Did Smash fall off his ear? |
45547 | Did a burglar break in? |
45547 | Did anybody see Hal or hear his voice on the way back? |
45547 | Did he break his neck? |
45547 | Did n''t you ever know anything you could n''t prove? |
45547 | Did n''t you have any with you, or had n''t you gathered any yet? |
45547 | Did you find anything in the cave that tended to prove your suspicion? |
45547 | Did you find the gun? |
45547 | Did you meet him afterward? |
45547 | Did you put me in it or did Pepper? |
45547 | Do n''t you believe he had a bag of souvenirs? |
45547 | Do n''t you hear it? |
45547 | Do n''t you see we''re standing on granite? 45547 Do you think he swallowed it?" |
45547 | Do you think he''s comin''here? |
45547 | Does everybody call it that? |
45547 | Everybody here? |
45547 | First, do you all know what a biplane is? |
45547 | Frank, Frank, what is the matter? 45547 Frank, what_ is_ the matter?" |
45547 | Have you found a way down? |
45547 | Hello, Hal, what''s the matter? |
45547 | How about that weight? |
45547 | How about the fish? |
45547 | How did it get into the cave then? |
45547 | How do you know he took them? |
45547 | How do you know? |
45547 | How do you suppose they got up here? |
45547 | How in the world are we ever going to get out of this? |
45547 | How we going to go? |
45547 | How would it get there? |
45547 | How? |
45547 | How? |
45547 | How? |
45547 | I do n''t, eh? |
45547 | If he did, what became of it? 45547 If it''s a panther or a lynx, where do you suppose it is?" |
45547 | In the airship? |
45547 | In the airship? |
45547 | In the cañon? |
45547 | Is he killed? |
45547 | Is that so? |
45547 | Is that so? |
45547 | Is that true? |
45547 | It came near being a pretty serious trap, did n''t it? 45547 It may explain, may it not, what became of Hal?" |
45547 | Just so we do n''t call you down, eh? |
45547 | Kenyon missing? 45547 Like the one you fell in?" |
45547 | Make it up yourself? |
45547 | Maxwell was his name? |
45547 | Not_ Bad_? |
45547 | Nothing? 45547 Now what are we going to do next?" |
45547 | Now, who''s going to tell us a story about the mummy? |
45547 | Oh!--when will it be here? |
45547 | Oh- h--groaned Bad,"what shall I do? |
45547 | Out o''the water? 45547 Out o''where-- the cave?" |
45547 | Ready to go now? |
45547 | See? 45547 The Boy Scouts_ of the Air_?" |
45547 | Was Dr. Edwards hurt? |
45547 | Was n''t that a funny place for cliff dwellers to build their homes? |
45547 | Well, boys,he said slowly, wiping his glasses with his handkerchief,"what do you think of yourselves? |
45547 | Well, what do you think of it, boys? |
45547 | Well, what''s the difference? 45547 Well, where would you suggest that we hunt first?" |
45547 | Well, who has something more to add to the story of Flathead? |
45547 | What became of your specimens? |
45547 | What do the rest of you think? |
45547 | What do you mean? |
45547 | What do you think it is-- a ghost? |
45547 | What else have we here? |
45547 | What for? 45547 What good will that do us?" |
45547 | What have you to say to it, Hal? |
45547 | What in the world does that mean? |
45547 | What is a plane? |
45547 | What is it? |
45547 | What kind is it going to be? |
45547 | What then? |
45547 | What will the new aeroplane look like? |
45547 | What would I do here without you? 45547 What you going to do? |
45547 | What you going to do? 45547 What you kids up to?" |
45547 | What''s his name? |
45547 | What''s that? |
45547 | What''s that? |
45547 | What''s that? |
45547 | What''s the Ozone? |
45547 | What''s the difference between a biplane and a monoplane? |
45547 | What''s the matter? |
45547 | What''s the matter? |
45547 | What''s the name of this cañon? |
45547 | What''s up, Bad? |
45547 | When are we going? |
45547 | When are you going to begin work? |
45547 | When you goin'', Hal? |
45547 | Where are the others? |
45547 | Where are the rest of them? |
45547 | Where are you, Hal? |
45547 | Where did you get it? |
45547 | Where have you been? |
45547 | Where is Hal? |
45547 | Where is it? |
45547 | Where you found my bag of souvenirs? |
45547 | Where you going to- night? |
45547 | Where you going-- home? |
45547 | Where you going? |
45547 | Where''d you get that story? |
45547 | Where''s Frank? |
45547 | Where''s the lion? |
45547 | Where''s your gun? |
45547 | Who is he? |
45547 | Why did n''t you say something about it? 45547 Why did n''t you throw it away?" |
45547 | Why did n''t you turn it over to me with the bag? |
45547 | Why me? 45547 Why not, Hal?" |
45547 | Wo n''t do what any more? |
45547 | Would he jump at me or would he jump back? 45547 Yes, why not?" |
45547 | You can make''em all in half an hour, ca n''t you? |
45547 | You did n''t find any rubies or garnets or streaks of gold there, did you? |
45547 | You found a nugget in the cave, did you? |
45547 | You hit the horse, did n''t you? |
45547 | You mean that the beast killed him? |
45547 | You think it fell to the ground with the aeroplane? |
45547 | You think somebody put it there? |
45547 | You was n''t? |
45547 | You will know it all, will you? |
45547 | And can we all have a ride?" |
45547 | And yet, it''s as simple as A- B- C.""In what way?" |
45547 | Are you proud of what you have done, or do you agree that such an escapade deserves something of a reckoning?" |
45547 | As they were leaving the cañon, Dr. Byrd inquired:"What kind of place is that cave, Hal?" |
45547 | But Mr. Porter had a high, shrill voice, and when he sang out with all his strength"Oh, Hal, where are you?" |
45547 | But do n''t you think you made a mistake by running away? |
45547 | But what are we going to eat? |
45547 | But what does all this mean?" |
45547 | But what you going to run away for, Hal? |
45547 | But where should they make their home? |
45547 | Buy another airship?" |
45547 | CHAPTER VIII HAL''S DISCOVERY Meanwhile, what had become of Hal Kenyon? |
45547 | CHAPTER XIX THE RESCUING AIRSHIP"How do you know?" |
45547 | CHAPTER XXIV MOUNTAIN LION BRIDGE"How you going to spend your holiday?" |
45547 | Can you explain that so we can understand how it keeps the ship from turning over?" |
45547 | Can you make yourself comfortable in there until morning? |
45547 | Dared he risk it? |
45547 | Did it just happen to come untied from the strut at that time? |
45547 | Did n''t you find them?" |
45547 | Do you mean to say that I stole it?" |
45547 | For a while they did nothing but eat and drink, but at last Pickles inquired:"How did you know we was here?" |
45547 | Frank nodded understandingly, and Hal continued in the same manner as before:"Do you see that thing on the floor of the cave? |
45547 | Frankland?" |
45547 | Hence, what are the rest of us? |
45547 | His only hope-- but was there any hope at all? |
45547 | How could he, unless somebody found one of our arrows? |
45547 | How could it have been a boy?" |
45547 | How would you boys like to visit the top of Flathead again?" |
45547 | How-- in the world did you get out?" |
45547 | I''ll--""Clout it in the jaw?" |
45547 | Is it the nugget?" |
45547 | Is that what made you run away so fast? |
45547 | Is that what makes you look so sick? |
45547 | Miles looked with keen amusement at the last questioner and replied with a wink:"Do I look like a quitter?" |
45547 | Nothing left, is there?" |
45547 | Oh, what will I do? |
45547 | Pickles, you''re not afraid to go first, are you?" |
45547 | Porter?" |
45547 | Save my life by running away and getting the cat to follow you?" |
45547 | Should n''t you have remained here and faced the music?" |
45547 | The idea seemed ridiculous; and yet what other explanation of their manner and actions could be given? |
45547 | Then he added in a tone of astonishment:"And where did you get that gun?" |
45547 | There was a general note of approval, and Dr. Byrd inquired:"Well, what shall it be first?" |
45547 | They passed beyond his vision, as on former occasions, and before long he caught Mr. Porter''s shrill"Oh, Hal, where are you?" |
45547 | Try to grapple it first or dive?" |
45547 | Understand?" |
45547 | Was it possible that they did not know where he was? |
45547 | Was it you that shot? |
45547 | Were the contents of the bag valuable?" |
45547 | What could have happened to Frank? |
45547 | What could he do? |
45547 | What could they do? |
45547 | What could this mean? |
45547 | What did I tell you?" |
45547 | What did I tell you?" |
45547 | What does this mean?" |
45547 | What for?" |
45547 | What shall we call the waterfall itself?" |
45547 | What will I do? |
45547 | What would he think when he came out and found no Bad in the water? |
45547 | What you been doing with the gun?" |
45547 | What''d you do? |
45547 | What''s that?" |
45547 | Where did you drop them?" |
45547 | Where is he?" |
45547 | Who has an idea now?" |
45547 | Who''s going on the next trip?" |
45547 | Why did they not ford the river at once and come up on the other side? |
45547 | Why did you decide to run away, Hal?" |
45547 | Why did you hide it in your pocket and keep still? |
45547 | Why not stop here, build a fire, and sit around and talk a while?" |
45547 | Why not? |
45547 | Why should they not share the glory alike? |
45547 | Why, what''s the matter?" |
45547 | Would n''t it be a lark to climb up under the bridge and stretch himself out along the timbers and wait there for Hal? |
45547 | You''ll be here when I come back?" |
45549 | A crab? |
45549 | All O.K.? |
45549 | All O.K.? |
45549 | All quiet on the front? |
45549 | Any idea where they go? |
45549 | Any more turkey''s stolen, Uncle Norman? |
45549 | Any rocks or islands near? |
45549 | Any special reason? |
45549 | Anyone in our cots? |
45549 | Anything I can do to help? |
45549 | Are they all right, Aunt Belle? |
45549 | Are they laying for him? |
45549 | Are we here? |
45549 | Are you getting enough to eat, Bob? |
45549 | Begun to wish you had brought your rubbers? |
45549 | Bob? 45549 Burnam left?" |
45549 | Can I get something to eat here? |
45549 | Can you run a plane? |
45549 | Did they get it back? |
45549 | Did you do all that this morning? |
45549 | Did you drop a little box here? |
45549 | Did you get any sleep back there? |
45549 | Did your Aunt think we had flown to the bottom of the lake? |
45549 | Do all these peddlers have wagons like that? |
45549 | Do you get dizzy easily, that is, does it make you sick to your stomach when you get on a high place and look over? |
45549 | Do you have to send them back? |
45549 | Do you know where your uncle is working? |
45549 | Does he pick up American goods to take back? |
45549 | Does he seem to be doing it, Uncle Norman? |
45549 | Does it get much higher than it is now? |
45549 | Enjoy your dinner? |
45549 | Ever been up in a plane, sir? |
45549 | Going to have a look about Isle La Motte? |
45549 | Gosh, Buddy, remember that story of the brothers who watched the smoke go up the chimney? |
45549 | Got enough gas? |
45549 | Got good locks? |
45549 | Got something on your mind besides your cap? |
45549 | Great guns-- oh, what happened to Pedro? |
45549 | Have many raids like that? |
45549 | Have we been dreaming, or_ did_ we come back from Burlington in the teeth of a rip- snorting gale? |
45549 | He can the English speak? |
45549 | Hey, what the blazes do you think you''re doing? |
45549 | Hezzy? |
45549 | How about your own umbrella? |
45549 | How are you, Burley? 45549 How did those old boys ever get anywhere or have time to do anything?" |
45549 | How did you chaps discover this bunch? |
45549 | How did you like Hezzy? |
45549 | How do you explain the title, Bradshaw? |
45549 | How do you like flying, Uncle Norman? |
45549 | How long has he been coming? |
45549 | How long would it take you to get me to Burlington? |
45549 | How many demerits did they give you? |
45549 | How soon are you starting? |
45549 | How''s Pat? |
45549 | I got them here all right,he muttered,"But how can I get them away? |
45549 | I say, Buddy, did you hear anyone call? |
45549 | I say, did n''t you have enough of it? |
45549 | I say, is n''t that a light over there on Fisher''s? |
45549 | I say, what are you thinking about? 45549 If we land on the water will that be all right for you, can you get to your place easily?" |
45549 | Intend to eat sparingly? |
45549 | Is he a Vermonter, Uncle Norman? |
45549 | Is n''t your aunt the woman who raises such a flock of turkeys? |
45549 | Is that a threat or a promise? |
45549 | Is that for the cattle? |
45549 | Is that you, Norman? |
45549 | Is that you, boys? |
45549 | Is this place near enough? |
45549 | It ai n''t Bob? |
45549 | It is good? |
45549 | It''s O. K.,answered Bob, then added,"See that road?" |
45549 | Jimmm? |
45549 | Know anything about cars? |
45549 | Let''s get some clothes on, I ca n''t sleep any more, can you? |
45549 | Like to go up again? |
45549 | Little Greaser? |
45549 | Looks as if it''s working all right, does n''t it? |
45549 | Maybe, but holy hoofs, what''s this kid doing it for? |
45549 | My goodness, boys, what on earth did he do? |
45549 | Need any assistance, boys? |
45549 | Need any help? |
45549 | No doubt, but I hope Her Highness does n''t do any more--"More? |
45549 | No? |
45549 | Now, how do you expect to eat your meal if you talk so much? 45549 Now, keep your shirt on, ca n''t you? |
45549 | Of course not, Bob, but where will you sleep? |
45549 | Same ones all the time? |
45549 | Say Jim, know what this makes me think of, these people I mean? |
45549 | Say, Buddy, suppose we''ll ever be lucky enough to meet that kid again? |
45549 | Say, know what that looks like? |
45549 | Say, what''s your rush? |
45549 | Say, where''s that Carrying Point? |
45549 | Shall I get in now, Jim? |
45549 | She does n''t look much like the paper bags they made their first experiments with, does she? |
45549 | Spot anything, Buddy? |
45549 | Suppose they can climb up that wall? |
45549 | Sure Hezzy is n''t putting his own brand on them? |
45549 | Think there is room-- I mean think it''s wide enough so we can get into it without smashing the wings? |
45549 | Thunder and Mars, why did n''t you let me do part of it? |
45549 | Thundering rattlers, is he the thief? |
45549 | Want me to pilot, old man? |
45549 | Want to build a fire and toast some of these marshmallows? |
45549 | Want to have a look at him? |
45549 | Want to look around now? |
45549 | We want a basket again, do n''t we? 45549 Well, I say, where does this Burnam come in?" |
45549 | Well, go on and search me if you want to, you half- baked nut--"I say, how do you get that way? |
45549 | Well, how''s the tooth, Aunt Belle? |
45549 | Well, you lads get a good look at Vermont? |
45549 | Were you frightened during the storm? |
45549 | What did they do that for? |
45549 | What do you make of that? |
45549 | What do you mean? |
45549 | What do you think you''re doing? |
45549 | What in heck are they up to? |
45549 | What is the boy doing with the mud hole? |
45549 | What sort of chap is he, about your size? |
45549 | What the heck can we do? |
45549 | What the heck is he doing? |
45549 | What you American kids doing here anyway? 45549 What you doing here anyway?" |
45549 | What''ll we do with Her Highness? 45549 What''s all the shouting about?" |
45549 | What''s eating you besides the man''s looks and his reception of us the other day? |
45549 | What''s the matter with her? |
45549 | What''s the matter? |
45549 | What? |
45549 | Where did you learn to do that? |
45549 | Where they stopping? |
45549 | Who is Her Highness? |
45549 | Who is it? |
45549 | Why do n''t you go back above the shore? |
45549 | Why put fish in, do they expect to raise sardines? |
45549 | Will he mind if we go closer? |
45549 | Will the plane carry three of us? |
45549 | Will you answer it? 45549 Would it be too much trouble for you to take me?" |
45549 | Yes, I know you did--"And did n''t you enjoy air traveling? |
45549 | Yes, but how the blazes do you expect to pick up the trail in Canada? |
45549 | Yes, now, is this right? 45549 You can come down on the water to speak to the men we''ll have there?" |
45549 | You covered up? |
45549 | You never did cotton up to Hezzy did you? |
45549 | You want the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth? |
45549 | A book of bed- time stories?" |
45549 | And is n''t he the grand lad for keeping his eyes open and his wits about him?" |
45549 | Anything left in that basket?" |
45549 | Are they good?" |
45549 | Can you understand that?" |
45549 | Come along-- that is-- is there anything we can do to help you, sir?" |
45549 | Could you drop food to them?" |
45549 | Did Bradshaw tell you that it was fitted up like a war- time trench, with living quarters, periscopes and what- not?" |
45549 | Did n''t we slide down on the lightning the other day?" |
45549 | Did you hear your Aunt say whether the turkeys are dying off because of the dampness?" |
45549 | Did you know, Fenton, that the Carrying Point is covered? |
45549 | Do n''t we want to go up tomorrow? |
45549 | Do these storms last very long?" |
45549 | Do you know that out- post right on the line?" |
45549 | Do you think that pair are batty?" |
45549 | Fenton?" |
45549 | Got a permit a fly into Canada?" |
45549 | Got plenty of gas? |
45549 | Great job, is n''t it?" |
45549 | How about it, light meat or dark, Jim?" |
45549 | How are your air- legs, wobbly?" |
45549 | How did you boys happen to get that man and his folks? |
45549 | How did you happen to be out there?" |
45549 | How did you happen to come down right here just as those lads were getting funny?" |
45549 | How did you happen to get into the scrap?" |
45549 | How did you like the ride?" |
45549 | How do you like air traveling?" |
45549 | How do you like air- traveling, Uncle Norman?" |
45549 | How will you let us know if you receive it O.K.?" |
45549 | I say, did you happen to notice the number of that limousine? |
45549 | I''ll make a hitch here, so you''ll come just under me--""Sure that will hold us both?" |
45549 | If it was all right, what the heck did he dodge us for?" |
45549 | Is it usually so?" |
45549 | Is she all right, or has something gone wrong with her?" |
45549 | Is that what Burnam''s after?" |
45549 | Is that what you do when you have a good meal at home?" |
45549 | Is the house afloat?" |
45549 | Is the water very rough?" |
45549 | It ends in a rock cliff about a half mile below here?" |
45549 | Jim?" |
45549 | Know what he reminds me of, Bob?" |
45549 | Know what that means?" |
45549 | Know where that is?" |
45549 | Now, can you get her out of this trap?" |
45549 | Put her under arrest?" |
45549 | Remember how long it is?" |
45549 | Remember the day we were coming up and you noticed a neck of land, lake on both sides, that connected the two larger sections of North Hero?" |
45549 | Right?" |
45549 | Run along, old boy-- don''t you know your onions, or have n''t you got any this load?" |
45549 | Savvy?" |
45549 | Say, Jim did you notice the lake when we got home?" |
45549 | Say, Jim, what do you suppose he is?" |
45549 | See those fellows?" |
45549 | Suppose your aunt would mind letting us take a lunch to eat in the air, or some nice place we pick out?" |
45549 | That voice sounded as if it''s a little north, did n''t you think so?" |
45549 | There is n''t any harm in trying to make friends with the boy, but I wouldn''t--""Butt- in? |
45549 | They both told us to have a good time, and helping you looks to me like a good time--""Besides, what would we risk? |
45549 | Want to know the readings back here?" |
45549 | We have an extra helmet--""Shall I need rubbers?" |
45549 | We were all at our place--""And Bob was to be sent to school?" |
45549 | Well, we ca n''t lose all your aunt''s baskets and expect her to pack grub stakes for us, can we?" |
45549 | What are you doing here and what have you got a green cover on your bus for? |
45549 | What are you doing here? |
45549 | What are you smuggling in that car?" |
45549 | What day is it?" |
45549 | What do you do with strangers?" |
45549 | What do you know about that?" |
45549 | What do you think?" |
45549 | What do you want to do over here?" |
45549 | What do_ you_ think of him?" |
45549 | What shall we do with them?" |
45549 | What sort of crab do you think she is?" |
45549 | Where can we take you?" |
45549 | Where in blazes is Pedro?" |
45549 | Where was I?" |
45549 | Why do n''t they have a good warm place to keep them when the weather is had?" |
45549 | Why not have one of the men help him in what he is doing? |
45549 | Will that help?" |
45549 | Wonder if there was anything the matter with them when they arrived, or if some one over there did n''t want watch dogs?" |
45549 | Would n''t that ravine down there be a corker place for bootleggers or smugglers to go sneaking from one side to the other? |
45549 | You boys seen enough to satisfy you for the time being?" |
45549 | You do n''t mind, do you?" |
45549 | You look after your end here--""Well, I''ve been looking after my end, but blast it all, how can I keep the gang-- ten new ones, under cover? |
45549 | You want to drive?" |
45549 | Your pa was all spruced up-- and the next year they were in Texas--""You boys coming?" |
33605 | A car, eh? |
33605 | A dreadful fix? 33605 All ready behind?" |
33605 | All ready? |
33605 | And Roy, where is Roy? |
33605 | And so this is the wonderful Golden Butterfly that you wrote to me about? |
33605 | And so you are acting as chauffeur? |
33605 | And suppose I wo n''t accept that offer? |
33605 | And you were afraid of robbers holding you up? |
33605 | Any answer? |
33605 | At this rate we ought to be at the grounds in----But what was this? |
33605 | But how in the world did you come to get in there? |
33605 | But if that were so, why did Fanning fit up a shop out at Gid Gibbons''s place? |
33605 | But what are you doing in town? 33605 But what of my securities in----and----and----?" |
33605 | But where can we land? |
33605 | But you, Peggy? |
33605 | But, auntie,burst out Peggy, blankly,"does the man mean to say that there is nothing, absolutely nothing, on which we can realize anything?" |
33605 | By the way, Morgan,the girl asked, suddenly,"has anything more been heard of the missing jewels?" |
33605 | Ca n''t you delay the start for five minutes? |
33605 | Can I come in? |
33605 | Could what? 33605 Did what?" |
33605 | Did you ever hear such a yarn in all your born days? |
33605 | Do n''t they stop anywhere between here and the junction? |
33605 | Do you mean you are actually building an aeroplane? |
33605 | Do you think she can suspect anything? |
33605 | Does he know you have the jewels? |
33605 | Found out what''s the trouble, Roy? |
33605 | From the clouds? |
33605 | Gee, Roy, you mean it? |
33605 | Go back with you? 33605 Good gracious, is that fashionable looking old man a hermit?" |
33605 | Good gracious, what''s been happening? |
33605 | Good gracious, whatever has happened? |
33605 | Good morning, Fanning,said Jimsy, bottling up his temper at the other''s insulting manners,"can you give me a few minutes of private conversation?" |
33605 | Good morning,he said, doffing his sombrero with a sweep and a flourish;"can I have a word with you?" |
33605 | Had enough? |
33605 | Have you looked everywhere for it? |
33605 | Heard anything of Fanning Harding? |
33605 | Here I am, sis,--what''s up? |
33605 | How dare you say such things? 33605 How long does it take to get there? |
33605 | How? |
33605 | I believe that,said Peggy,"but what do you know about the disappearance of the diamonds?" |
33605 | I guess that that sign gave you a kind of a start, eh? |
33605 | I suppose that is why you have the horse and cart? |
33605 | I tell you I''ll do nothing of the sort,the man was saying;"why should I go and own up that I''m a thief or the next thing to it? |
33605 | I wonder if any one passed on this road while we were unconscious? |
33605 | I wonder if he''ll enter for the prize? |
33605 | I wonder who that can be so late? |
33605 | I''ll never be able to make it in time without an automobile,moaned Roy to himself;"what shall I do?" |
33605 | I''m getting there, ai n''t I? |
33605 | Is that so? |
33605 | Is your father very deeply implicated in the matter? |
33605 | It makes no difference to you, does it? |
33605 | It''s my-- our aeroplane,went on Roy;"who can be in it? |
33605 | Just as you did that day at school when poor little Henry Willis was being beaten by that big bully Hank Jones? |
33605 | Land o''Goshen, what''s that? |
33605 | Look,cried Peggy suddenly,"is n''t that a small island below there? |
33605 | Lost a wallet with jewelry in it, eh? |
33605 | Maybe you know some one who is handsomer? |
33605 | Mr. Bell, it''s Roy Prescott,he shouted;"can you get a rope and get me out?" |
33605 | My dear Jess, whatever has happened? |
33605 | My dear Roy,rejoined Peggy, with dignity,"do n''t you think that I am capable of taking care of myself?" |
33605 | No, dear, not one word,she said;"is n''t it queer? |
33605 | Not in the least,said Peggy, hastily, realizing that none of them had perhaps looked very cordial,"wo n''t you come in?" |
33605 | Now, Mr. Harding,he concluded,"is there no way in which this matter can be straightened out?" |
33605 | Now, then, Jeff, if you are ready will you get in? |
33605 | Now, what could he be up to? |
33605 | Oh, Roy, that''s it? |
33605 | Oh, Roy, what has happened to you? 33605 Oh, Roy, what shall we do?" |
33605 | Oh, doctor,cried Peggy, entreatingly,"ca n''t we persuade you to go back with us in the Golden Butterfly?" |
33605 | Oh, is n''t that pretty? |
33605 | Oh, then, you do go into town sometimes? |
33605 | Oh, will it rise? |
33605 | Oh, you do, eh? 33605 Oh, you mean the time you saw him in the air at night, the time we went to Washington?" |
33605 | Oh, you poor dears,exclaimed Peggy,"and if you do n''t get there at that time?" |
33605 | Say Peggy,spoke up Fan Harding, suddenly,"ai n''t you going to introduce me to your friends? |
33605 | Say, Roy,he exclaimed,"you did n''t happen to put that jewel case in your pocket for safe keeping after the accident, did you?" |
33605 | Say, who are you, and what are you doing with my aeroplane? |
33605 | Shall I come with you? |
33605 | So you''re trying to win out Jess Bancroft, are you? |
33605 | So,he muttered,"that''s your scheme, is it? |
33605 | That''s it,rejoined the boy proudly, lifting a bit of sacking from the contents of the opened crate,"is n''t it a beauty?" |
33605 | There''s a train leaves Central Riverview junction at six, is n''t there? |
33605 | Three minutes to starting time,cried Hal Homer anxiously;"where can Miss Prescott be?" |
33605 | Trust to you to find Roy? |
33605 | Trust to you? |
33605 | Unless what? |
33605 | Want me to take the helm? |
33605 | Well, are you going to answer me? |
33605 | Well, can you suggest any solution? |
33605 | Well, doctor, how do you like it? |
33605 | Well, here we are,exclaimed Roy, looking about him at the sylvan scene as they alighted;"and now what comes next?" |
33605 | Well, may be you are and then again you may not be,was the Sandy Bay youngster''s cautious reply;"but how does it interest you?" |
33605 | Well, what do you say? |
33605 | Well, what if I do? |
33605 | Well, what if I have? |
33605 | Well, what would you say if I told you that that ai n''t Roy Prescott in the Golden Butterfly at all? |
33605 | Wh- wh- when are we going up? |
33605 | What a question, you goose? |
33605 | What are you going to do now? |
33605 | What are you going to do? |
33605 | What can Fan Harding be doing with him? |
33605 | What can have become of the jewels? |
33605 | What can he be doing? |
33605 | What did you see, my lad? |
33605 | What do I mean? |
33605 | What do you mean by saying''a lot depends on it,''girlie? |
33605 | What do you mean, Roy? 33605 What do you mean?" |
33605 | What do you mean? |
33605 | What do you mean? |
33605 | What do you mean? |
33605 | What do you suppose they came to the island for? |
33605 | What field did you come down in? 33605 What is it? |
33605 | What is it? |
33605 | What is the matter? 33605 What is the matter?" |
33605 | What time did that aviator fellow say he would show up? |
33605 | What was the last you saw of the jewels? |
33605 | What''s the matter with Number Six? |
33605 | What''s the trouble? |
33605 | What? 33605 Where are you going?" |
33605 | Where has the thing been? |
33605 | Where is that young scamp? 33605 Why is it so late?" |
33605 | Why not send it by wireless? |
33605 | Why on earth should the thief want to return the wallet? 33605 Why, Morgan, whatever are you doing here?" |
33605 | Why, Peggy, what is the matter with you? 33605 Why, what are you talking about?" |
33605 | Why, what do you know about it? |
33605 | Why, what ever brings you here? |
33605 | Why? |
33605 | Wonder where that girl went to on her tryout spin? |
33605 | Would I? |
33605 | Would n''t Roy like to go in the aeroplane? |
33605 | Would what? 33605 Would you like to try a little flight, Jeff?" |
33605 | Yes, and she''s pretty as a picture, too,put in Gid Gibbons;"guess you were stuck on her once, were n''t you, Fan?" |
33605 | Yes, but how? 33605 Yes, but what? |
33605 | Yes, do n''t I make a nice one? |
33605 | Yes, very fine talk, but what can you do? |
33605 | Yes, where is he? 33605 You chaps are nervous as kittens,"he was saying,"who on earth would come to this island? |
33605 | You have no idea who the men were? |
33605 | You really mean that, Fanning? |
33605 | You would, eh? |
33605 | You''ll promise no harm will come to me or my father through this? |
33605 | You''re not, eh? 33605 You''ve got auctioneering, the Supreme Court and war times, mixed up a bit, have n''t you?" |
33605 | After all, they were true;"what could he do?" |
33605 | After some more conversation the group was about to break up, when Jess exclaimed suddenly:"Oh, by the way, did you hear about Jeff Stokes? |
33605 | And how about inviting us all to have some of those strawberries Pop and I noticed as we came down the path?" |
33605 | And now having expended a wicked sum for the engine of this flying thing where do you expect to reap your profit?" |
33605 | Are we in any very serious danger?" |
33605 | At last he spoke:"I understand that you have built an aeroplane which is a success?" |
33605 | Beasley?" |
33605 | Bell?" |
33605 | But how was he to proceed to make money with his knowledge? |
33605 | But if he did why would he place that wallet on the porch of Jess''s home?" |
33605 | But not too old for Peter and I to have many happy days together yet, eh, Peter?" |
33605 | But that contest is not to come off for more than a month and-- and supposing someone should have a better machine than you?" |
33605 | But that does n''t matter, for you wear goggles and a helmet in driving that thing, anyway, do n''t you?" |
33605 | But who is the old gentleman?" |
33605 | But''as yer''ad han h''accident?" |
33605 | Can you do it for her right away?" |
33605 | Can you hold on for a time?" |
33605 | Come now, do n''t you recognize me?" |
33605 | Do n''t you read every day in the papers about girls and women making almost as good flights as the men? |
33605 | Do you think we could?" |
33605 | For instance, who would know that you had valuables in the car?" |
33605 | Got the files?" |
33605 | Has every place been searched thoroughly?" |
33605 | Have found it?" |
33605 | Have you a comfortable chair, miss? |
33605 | He practically made it his life work, you see, and----""And you beggared yourself carrying those ideas out, eh?" |
33605 | He----""Oh, you mean to imply that I do, eh?" |
33605 | How do I know where he is?" |
33605 | How do you account for it?" |
33605 | How do you know he has n''t gone off with those jewels?" |
33605 | How does the offer strike you?" |
33605 | I do n''t want anything to do with you, do you understand? |
33605 | I''ll bet----""How dare you?" |
33605 | If the Golden Butterfly can win that prize----""By Jove, sis, it''s five thousand dollars, is n''t it?" |
33605 | Is n''t it, Fred?" |
33605 | Maybe we can make that?" |
33605 | Morgan and Giles----""What, Morgan and Giles were there?" |
33605 | Now who could have stolen the wallet in that time?" |
33605 | Now, are you on?" |
33605 | Right, ai n''t I?" |
33605 | Roy, where are you?" |
33605 | That one by the clump of woods round the bend in the road?" |
33605 | There was the gold all right, but how was I to get it out?" |
33605 | There, what do you think of that?" |
33605 | We can make it?" |
33605 | What business could this old man-- in some respects a power financially and otherwise in Sandy Beach-- have with their aunt? |
33605 | What could it be? |
33605 | What did that mean? |
33605 | What had become of them? |
33605 | What had been his mission there? |
33605 | What has happened?" |
33605 | What if nobody heard him and he was compelled to remain at the bottom of the old well? |
33605 | What if she were dead? |
33605 | What of it?" |
33605 | What was he trying to conceal? |
33605 | What''s it about?" |
33605 | What''s the trouble?" |
33605 | What, then, could have become of the jewel case? |
33605 | Whatever do you want one for?" |
33605 | Whatever kind of a game of bluff has Fanning Harding been playing?" |
33605 | Where could such a man as Gid Gibbons be getting such large amounts of money as he seemed to have recently? |
33605 | Where could they be taking him? |
33605 | Where is Jimsy?" |
33605 | Who could it be? |
33605 | Why do n''t you take that rod there? |
33605 | Why, I think----Why, whatever was that?" |
33605 | Why, ca n''t you see that the very first thing that happens is a chance to win$ 5,000?" |
33605 | Will one of you help me catch old Dobbin and harness him? |
33605 | Wo n''t she be pleased?" |
33605 | Wonder if it''s true?" |
33605 | Would it arrive in time to participate in the start and thus qualify? |
33605 | Would it have been possible for Fanning to enter the field while they lay unconscious there? |
33605 | Would the occupant of the aeroplane see his frantic signals? |
33605 | You have n''t got a revolver with you, have you?" |
33605 | You say you want a third? |
33605 | asked Fanning with a sudden accession of interest;"then he ca n''t race to- day, can he?" |
33605 | asked the other;"do you know where my brother is?" |
33605 | cried his aunt, admiringly,"do you think you''ll be able to get a position?" |
33605 | echoed Peggy,"and nobody knows how it came there?" |
33605 | echoed the youth;"will a duck swim?" |
33605 | exclaimed Peggy to herself,"what shall I do?" |
33605 | exclaimed the boy, as he scanned the news- sheet,"why this is just what we were wishing for, is n''t it? |
33605 | she cried triumphantly,"as good a sky pilot as you are, Roy?" |
33605 | where are you?" |
33605 | you indefinite person?" |
33605 | young folks, what''s the trouble? |
46656 | About Smith-- the mail flyer? |
46656 | Alone? |
46656 | And was it you who flew over in the helicopter, out of the swamp, and tried to drive us out of control with rockets? |
46656 | And what did I do that for? |
46656 | And what did I get to guard us against spooks? |
46656 | And what of it? |
46656 | And what was''what?'' |
46656 | And you found it, in a pilots''locker-- whose? |
46656 | Are you just doing it to try and save this mail flyer? |
46656 | Besides a drawing of an airplane-- what could it be, I wonder? |
46656 | But how could he get away? |
46656 | But how do you know? |
46656 | But how does that help? |
46656 | But what about the map? |
46656 | But what did he use it for-- and how did he use it? |
46656 | But what is a helicopter doing over the swamp? |
46656 | But who can they be after? |
46656 | But why should he hide it in the swamp, and need it at all? 46656 But-- was that still the shadow of the spook''plane, that I just saw?" |
46656 | C- can''t you-- Scott, ca n''t you t- turn and go out on the bay? |
46656 | Ca n''t Garry and Chick go along? |
46656 | Called himself Morgan-- let''s see----"''Doc''Morgan? |
46656 | Can he climb away in time? |
46656 | Can you lift me up, make a''back''for me, do you think? |
46656 | Can you? |
46656 | Clever, is n''t it? |
46656 | Could n''t he? |
46656 | Did he say who was calling? |
46656 | Did you ever fly a helicopter before? |
46656 | Did you find anybody-- see anything? |
46656 | Did you hear a shout? |
46656 | Did you notice how that Thing looked while Chick''s flare burned? |
46656 | Did you telephone-- and get the answer we expected? |
46656 | Do n''t you think this''A''and the figure''one''might help? |
46656 | Do you happen to recall that pirates used to sail in brigantines, and such- like ships? 46656 Do you see how taking this tracing fits in with the spectre in the sky?" |
46656 | Do you suppose it could be help-- for us? |
46656 | Do you? |
46656 | Doc, you''re pretty interested in that, are n''t you? 46656 Doc-- Mr. Vance-- has anything been done about the Dart?" |
46656 | Does that helicopter have anything to do with the mystery? |
46656 | Ever read the''Proceedings''and other books of the Society for Psychical Research? |
46656 | Feel all good? |
46656 | Garry!--where did Chick go? |
46656 | Get him? |
46656 | Going back? |
46656 | Has Doc come back? |
46656 | Have you any other clues? 46656 How about another test, from the inner end of the roll?" |
46656 | How about doing this? |
46656 | How about it, Garry? 46656 How about some football tactics?" |
46656 | How can it help that I know about streamlining the body, and the struts, and even the flying wires? |
46656 | How can you say you are n''t a traitor? |
46656 | How did he know? |
46656 | How did you know I had troubles? |
46656 | How do you know? |
46656 | How was he''all wrong?'' |
46656 | How was that so''wrong?'' |
46656 | How? |
46656 | I can tell you that you will be getting close to trouble if you start accusing me----"What''s all the excitement this time? |
46656 | I can-- but how does Scott pick up the mail? |
46656 | I have-- but how did you know that? |
46656 | I suppose you think he''d have everything standing right out for everybody to see? |
46656 | I wonder what for? |
46656 | I''m glad you came, after all-- aren''t you? |
46656 | If it is n''t an airplane-- what is it? |
46656 | In that queer light, and with your minds keyed up to expect something----"But how would it help if that did explain the spook tonight? 46656 Is it one mystery-- or two?" |
46656 | Is that so? |
46656 | Is there a place near where they can take care of this pilot? |
46656 | It was just put in the fixing bath-- how do you know the fumes of the chemicals in the smoke bomb did n''t ruin it-- stain it or fog it? |
46656 | John,asked Garry,"what do these mean? |
46656 | Mr. Tew, did you see anything-- hear anything? |
46656 | Notice anything odd about it? |
46656 | Now-- how? |
46656 | Old Ti- O- Ga? 46656 One thing? |
46656 | Or the blue- print Chick made-- that had some sort of complicated figures on it--"Where is it-- where is either one? |
46656 | See anything, Garry? 46656 Sort of spooky, hey? |
46656 | Sup-- supposing it is n''t a h- human being? |
46656 | Suppose that hair- brained nephew of yours decides to''put on his act''just as it is coming in? |
46656 | Then how did you know, Garry? 46656 Think we can make it?" |
46656 | Un-- film that has n''t been exposed? |
46656 | Was it sheet lightning? |
46656 | Was that a step? |
46656 | Well, now, you do, do you? 46656 Well, then-- where shall we look next?" |
46656 | What are you doing that for? |
46656 | What did they decide? |
46656 | What did you do about it? |
46656 | What did you find? |
46656 | What did you mean by saying you thought we were the ones who had stolen a map? |
46656 | What did you mean by throwing that smoke flare in on us? |
46656 | What did you tell him? |
46656 | What do you want this crate for, then? 46656 What had he lost? |
46656 | What happened? |
46656 | What has happened on four successive Friday nights, around Mystery Airport? |
46656 | What has struck you? |
46656 | What have you got in the way of evidence, clues or proofs? |
46656 | What in the world? |
46656 | What made you blow out the lantern? |
46656 | What morning is this? |
46656 | What of it? |
46656 | What was I to do with it? |
46656 | What will we find on the ground? |
46656 | What''s going on? |
46656 | What''s it all about? |
46656 | What''s that, you got there? |
46656 | What''s that? |
46656 | What''s the matter? |
46656 | What''s this? |
46656 | Where are we? |
46656 | Where is it coming from? |
46656 | Where you think you find? |
46656 | Where? 46656 White wings or red?" |
46656 | Who was he? |
46656 | Who was that? |
46656 | Who would know better than a Morgan? |
46656 | Who''ll go with me? |
46656 | Who''s there? |
46656 | Why did he have only the least important plan-- the sketch? 46656 Why do n''t you tell him to dive?" |
46656 | Why not come up in the Dragonfly, and let Don fly the Dart, too? |
46656 | Why not try again? |
46656 | Why? |
46656 | Why? |
46656 | Why? |
46656 | Why? |
46656 | Will red wings get away from white wings? |
46656 | Wo n''t the idiot ever give up? |
46656 | Would n''t it be odd if my study of airplane design had some good effect in clearing up our mysteries? |
46656 | Yes-- and there''s a man''s shout-- hear him? |
46656 | Yes-- and what was last night? |
46656 | You and Don got lost, did n''t you? |
46656 | You do? 46656 You feel like walk?" |
46656 | You find? |
46656 | You know what sort of crime that is? 46656 You like rest?" |
46656 | You mean by showing what we had clipped out of the film? |
46656 | You mean-- Smith? |
46656 | And how could your father help him locate anything?" |
46656 | And the other ships-- had they dived, fallen? |
46656 | And what for? |
46656 | And with that he added a third mystery-- or did n''t he? |
46656 | Besides-- where will we get the light?" |
46656 | But how-- and by whom?" |
46656 | But one thing Mother did tell us--""What?" |
46656 | But what was he doing there, in the supposably untenanted boat shack? |
46656 | But where does he get his light?" |
46656 | But where is the control room crew, and the hangar man, and Doc, and-- Chick?" |
46656 | But-- that old one is smart-- only--- why would they haunt the swamp, around here? |
46656 | CHAPTER IX ONE MYSTERY-- OR TWO? |
46656 | Ca n''t Don take her aloft? |
46656 | Ca n''t he fly the mail?" |
46656 | Chick bent down,"''Doc''--are you hurt?" |
46656 | Did n''t the culprit walk into the trap?" |
46656 | Did they echo with such caution because they belonged to a guilty body? |
46656 | Did you recover-- the film?" |
46656 | Don, will you and Garry help me to my boarding place? |
46656 | For what? |
46656 | For what?" |
46656 | Garry pushed past the crowd assembling around Don and Chick,"Don, do you hear what they''re saying in the crowd?" |
46656 | Had Vance made up all that story? |
46656 | Had it been forced to settle there? |
46656 | Had someone picked the lock? |
46656 | Had something struck the hovel? |
46656 | Had the"other man"come? |
46656 | He had cheated, falsified his errand, imposed on my mother''s good nature----""Just a minute,"Scott broke in,"who told you he was coming in?" |
46656 | He had it under some other papers----""Was he sure he remembered just how it had been left?" |
46656 | He said he was a mail pilot, and he gave the name----""What?" |
46656 | He would n''t want other pilots coming along to catch him flying to and fro-- but, at that-- how would he know what to look for-- and where?" |
46656 | How about it?" |
46656 | How about the shadow?" |
46656 | How does he know anything, and what does old Ti know?" |
46656 | How''d you get them?" |
46656 | How, he proposed, could a man in a helicopter throw a picture on a cloud without being seen? |
46656 | I do n''t suppose you searched the boathouse thoroughly-- or the helicopter, maybe?" |
46656 | I guess it got mixed up with the regular stuff and was brought in here-- but how did it get to the swamps?" |
46656 | If so, he thought, for what purpose? |
46656 | In any maneuver they could execute, Don wondered, what would that Thing do? |
46656 | In the name of all- possessed, though, who would of come up through my trap door with oilskins and green rubber gloves and a bathing cap on? |
46656 | Is that so?" |
46656 | It do n''t mean a thing, does it?" |
46656 | Let''s have a look, what do you say?" |
46656 | Let''s see it again, eh?" |
46656 | Now, I like spooks!---""Yes?" |
46656 | Or, Don wondered, was Chick himself in danger? |
46656 | Or, were they but the phantoms of over- stimulated imagination? |
46656 | Or-- did someone keep it there? |
46656 | See how the shore curves in and out-- and the beginnings of Crab Channel and the other smaller inlets?" |
46656 | Should he go back, or go on and get the blue- print? |
46656 | Showing a light-- who are you?" |
46656 | The Indian!--had he put something in the cocoa? |
46656 | The airport? |
46656 | Then you saw it?" |
46656 | They ought to be kept in a locker, anyway-- like the others----""What others?" |
46656 | Want to know what I dug up?" |
46656 | Was it he who had played ghost? |
46656 | Was that queerly disguised tracery of lines more than an airplane design? |
46656 | Were they hesitating? |
46656 | What are the other two doing?" |
46656 | What are you doing in my boathouse?" |
46656 | What did he want to find? |
46656 | What is it-- besides a sketch of a new aircraft?" |
46656 | What made you turn on us?" |
46656 | What proved you did n''t project it?" |
46656 | What shall we do?" |
46656 | What then? |
46656 | What were you doing at the airport, just before the film was stolen from our young friends? |
46656 | What''s that, Doc?" |
46656 | What''s to prove this is a picture of our swamp? |
46656 | When do you''spring''the advertising part, eh, Toby?" |
46656 | Where are the others?" |
46656 | Where did that searchlight beam come from? |
46656 | Where had the mystery ship gone? |
46656 | Where''s the Dart?" |
46656 | Which one?" |
46656 | Who could be so mean? |
46656 | Who had it? |
46656 | Who''s in there?" |
46656 | Why had that coppery face shown astonishment? |
46656 | Why was it there at all? |
46656 | Why? |
46656 | Wo n''t the steamship company give us another trial?" |
46656 | Would n''t that be awful?" |
46656 | Would there be a crash? |
46656 | You do n''t say? |
46656 | You got it back, anyhow, so what''s the odds how it went? |
46656 | You sleep, huh?" |
46656 | You think you read that traced chart? |
46656 | croaked the figure,"who else?" |
46656 | he asked himself,"or what can I make of wing- taper, and camber, and all that?" |
46656 | he exclaimed to himself,"I wonder if there are any more of those plans in the drawer of that table? |
46656 | he wondered,"and where did it come from?" |
46656 | muttered Don,"did you see what I saw?" |
52397 | ''Where else could these coins have come from?'' 52397 ''Where in the world did they come from?'' |
52397 | A S. and W., eh? |
52397 | All right, Archie? |
52397 | And I shall escape the arm of the_ feringhi_ law? |
52397 | And if I am? |
52397 | And so your sister''s going to spend the winter at Nassau, for her health, eh? 52397 Another snake in it, Burton?" |
52397 | Anything in the bag, Archie? |
52397 | Are they any graver,asked Matt,"than the charges you made against Carl?" |
52397 | Are you going to stop and put back after him? |
52397 | Are you sorry you did it? |
52397 | Are you subject to attacks like that? |
52397 | Are you trying to bulldoze me? |
52397 | Burra Burton ca n''t give me a job in the big show? |
52397 | Burton,and he leveled a quick gaze at the showman,"are you going to let this upstart come in here and insult me?" |
52397 | But what good is it going to do me to tell you all this? |
52397 | But what the nation is he coming with? |
52397 | Can you prove it to me? |
52397 | Dark skinned man in a turban? |
52397 | Den Modor Matt don''d haf to vork four veeks for nodding, schust for me? |
52397 | Den for vy he shleep in der ganvas wagon ven you tell him to drail der Hintoo? |
52397 | Dhondaram? |
52397 | Did it bite any one in the crowd? |
52397 | Did n''t he tell you that? 52397 Did that infernal scoundrel tell you all this?" |
52397 | Did you hunt for the fellow? |
52397 | Did you see any one near the wagons when you led the ticket man in between them? |
52397 | Did you see it, McGlory? |
52397 | Did you see that snake come out of it and crawl up onto the lower plane? 52397 Did you see who did it? |
52397 | Do n''t know? |
52397 | Do n''t you know any better than to fool with that big lump of iniquity? |
52397 | Do n''t you think he was telling the truth, pard? |
52397 | Do you mean to say,asked Carter, rising up on the blanket,"that I was n''t knocked down?" |
52397 | Do you see anything wrong with the machine? |
52397 | Do you want a job as Rajah''s_ mahout_? |
52397 | Does he look like a Hindoo? |
52397 | Feeling all right now? |
52397 | For vy iss dot? |
52397 | For vy you cut loose from me, hey? |
52397 | Furthermore,proceeded Matt,"if Carl is one of the thieves, or the only thief, why did he come in here at all? |
52397 | Go ahead,said Matt, leaning back against one of the calliope wheels;"what about Carl?" |
52397 | Got it now? |
52397 | Had Motor Matt the power to do this when he saved Haidee? |
52397 | Have you brought the basket, sahib? |
52397 | Have you seen anything of Dhondaram lately? |
52397 | Have you seen anything of Ping, Joe? |
52397 | He''s a friend of Motor Matt''s, is n''t he? |
52397 | Hold my basket, sahib? |
52397 | Honk? |
52397 | How did that bag get into his pocket? |
52397 | How did this happen? |
52397 | How do you figure it? |
52397 | How much money did the Dutchman have when he came here this morning? |
52397 | How much money did you have, Andy? |
52397 | How vas dot? |
52397 | How was that? |
52397 | How you like to buy my cane, sahib? |
52397 | How''s that for a double deal? |
52397 | I suppose you''re through with me, now? |
52397 | I vant to know somet''ing,Carl went on,"und dot iss, was I innocend or guildy? |
52397 | I wonder where Andy is? |
52397 | If you come to that, why is n''t there some of the stolen money in the bag? 52397 Innocent or guilty?" |
52397 | Is Ping so grouchy that he''s trying to make people believe Carl''s a thief? |
52397 | Is he square? |
52397 | Is there a bag there? |
52397 | Iss he grazy? |
52397 | It may be,said Dhondaram,"that Burton Sahib has secured another keeper for the bad elephant, Rajah? |
52397 | Know of any one who can handle an elephant? |
52397 | Much of a crowd, Burton? |
52397 | Not bitten? |
52397 | Not exactly the day to worry, eh? |
52397 | Of course I ca n''t work for the show any longer? |
52397 | Oh, do n''t I? |
52397 | Or Aurung Zeeb? |
52397 | Ping told you-- what? |
52397 | Sahib recognize the peg when he find him? 52397 Sick?" |
52397 | So? 52397 Square?" |
52397 | Surprise to you, eh, Motor Matt? |
52397 | The theft of that money was the result of a plot between the Hindoo and Carter here----"And I struck myself in the head and cut my face, eh? |
52397 | The way you fooled the cobra? 52397 Think the weather is shaping up for a gale this afternoon, Joe?" |
52397 | Think you can attend to that? |
52397 | Vat dit I do mit der money oof I took it, hey? 52397 Vat it iss?" |
52397 | Vat''s der odds aboudt der tifference, anyvay? |
52397 | Vere iss der shnake? |
52397 | Was it Rajah? |
52397 | Well, what? |
52397 | What about it, Matt? |
52397 | What ails the blooming motor? |
52397 | What am I to do? |
52397 | What can we do now, pard? |
52397 | What did Ping talk to me like that for? |
52397 | What did the new owner do,the king of the motor boys inquired,"without the peg to keep the basket shut?" |
52397 | What did you do with the snake basket? |
52397 | What did you want to speak with him about? |
52397 | What do you mean, Horton? |
52397 | What do you mean? |
52397 | What do you want the boy for? |
52397 | What else is written in your forehead? |
52397 | What fool would want to buy a thing like that? |
52397 | What had Ben Ali to do with the affair? |
52397 | What had Dhondaram got against the_ Comet_? |
52397 | What happened between the wagons, Carl? |
52397 | What have you done, Carl? |
52397 | What is it, Carl? |
52397 | What kind of a snake tamer are you, anyhow? 52397 What makes you think he might give us a clue? |
52397 | What sort of way is that to come out of a tent, Le Bon? |
52397 | What was the reason? |
52397 | What will we do for somebody to manage Rajah? |
52397 | What''ll you do with Dhondaram? |
52397 | What''s Ping tied up for? |
52397 | What''s all the hurry? |
52397 | What''s on your mind, pard? |
52397 | What''s the Hindoo coming for? |
52397 | What''s the Hindoo trailing you for? |
52397 | What''s the answer? |
52397 | What''s the joke? |
52397 | What''s the matter with McGlory? |
52397 | What''s the matter with you, Dhondaram? |
52397 | What''s the matter, up there? |
52397 | What''s the matter? |
52397 | What''s the notion? |
52397 | What''s to pay? |
52397 | What''s up? |
52397 | What''s wrong with you? |
52397 | What''s your name? |
52397 | What''s your notion about this, pard? |
52397 | Whatee want, Motol Matt? |
52397 | Where did that one come from? |
52397 | Where did you find him? |
52397 | Where did you hide that money? |
52397 | Where were you to meet Dhondaram, and at what time? |
52397 | Where''s Harris? |
52397 | Where''s that confounded Hindoo? |
52397 | Where''s the cobra, Dhondaram? |
52397 | Where''s the money that was stolen this afternoon, Carter? |
52397 | Where''s the money? |
52397 | Who can say, sahib? |
52397 | Who did it? |
52397 | Who helped you steal it? |
52397 | Who vas der feller vat left dot pucket oof vater in der vay? |
52397 | Who''ll take him? |
52397 | Why did n''t Carter see the Dutchman when he came to? 52397 Why did you ask Carter to step in between the wagons, Carl?" |
52397 | Why did you leave the trail? 52397 Why have you brought me here?" |
52397 | Why should n''t you have seen what happened? |
52397 | Why? |
52397 | Why? |
52397 | Wonder just how much that bit of a backset means for us, pard? |
52397 | You Burton Sahib? |
52397 | You admit the whole business, eh, Andy? |
52397 | You can not do this yourself? |
52397 | You can? |
52397 | You did n''t lose the trail? |
52397 | You do n''t intend presenting Burton with our wages for a month, do you? |
52397 | You do n''t mean to say,expostulated Matt,"that you''re going to keep Dhondaram with the show just to take charge of Rajah?" |
52397 | You have lost the niece you called Haidee? |
52397 | You look, see what I can do? |
52397 | You mean that I''d better be watching Dhondaram? |
52397 | You quit following the Hindoo? |
52397 | You saw it? |
52397 | You see what I''ve got? 52397 You want to see me?" |
52397 | You were going to try and ride the elephant in the parade, Carl? |
52397 | You''ll not take any legal action against me? |
52397 | You''ve been taking a snooze, eh? |
52397 | You''ve got to have a reason for everything? 52397 You''ve had enough?" |
52397 | ''I did n''t suppose your old brig carried such a cargo, did you?'' |
52397 | And did n''t we see him fling out his arm with the snake hanging to his wrist? |
52397 | And why is he staying with the show?" |
52397 | Anything in the bag, McGlory?" |
52397 | Are you good at the job?" |
52397 | Are you ready to drop with the trapeze?" |
52397 | But what was the use of indulging in hope? |
52397 | Ca n''t you think of_ some_ clue, Andy? |
52397 | Did I see the Hindoo when he hitched that bag with the snake to the aëroplane? |
52397 | Did he get Rajah under control again, Burton?" |
52397 | Did n''t you see him?" |
52397 | Did you follow the Hindoo, as I told you?" |
52397 | Did you lose it?" |
52397 | Did you see that?" |
52397 | Did you see the man who knocked Carter down?" |
52397 | Do you follow me?" |
52397 | Do you suppose for a minute that the cobra could hang to Motor Matt''s arm without biting? |
52397 | Do you use the little smokes? |
52397 | Dot''s all aboudt it, und oof I shtole some money, vere it iss, und vy don''d I got it? |
52397 | Eh, Matt? |
52397 | Has he a cause to dislike the bird- wagon? |
52397 | How are you and Ping getting along together?" |
52397 | How could I tell dot?" |
52397 | How did it get there?" |
52397 | How do you account for that if, as you say, you were struck from behind?" |
52397 | How he died, and his wife perished in the_ ghats_, by_ suttee_? |
52397 | How iss dot, bard?" |
52397 | How many could have kept their wits in such a situation? |
52397 | How mooch you gif me oof I findt der t''ieves und recofer der money? |
52397 | How our sister married the_ feringhi_, Captain Lionel Manners, of the English army? |
52397 | How we traveled with the show of Burton Sahib?" |
52397 | How well do I watch things? |
52397 | How''s Le Bon?" |
52397 | How, out of hatred to the rajah, I brought the girl to this country and destroyed her will by the power of the eyes? |
52397 | Huh?" |
52397 | If he really stole the money, who helped him? |
52397 | If that''s the case, why was n''t your Dutch pard in the plot, too?" |
52397 | Is it the one you got from the Dutchman?" |
52397 | It is permitted? |
52397 | It is permitted?" |
52397 | It''s about time we all turned in, do n''t you think?" |
52397 | Just drop this business, right here?" |
52397 | Luck''s on our side after all, eh?" |
52397 | Of the daughter they left, Margaret Manners? |
52397 | Or why did n''t the Dutchman see Carter, if he got back his wits first?" |
52397 | Page 17, changed? |
52397 | Suppose you would have to come back here to testify against the Hindoo? |
52397 | Tell me, do you know a countryman of yours named Ben Ali?" |
52397 | Und ven dit I take it, und vere it vas? |
52397 | Understand? |
52397 | Vat I tell you ven ve vas at subber, hey? |
52397 | Vat iss to be dit mit der Hintoo?" |
52397 | Vat you say, Misder Purton?" |
52397 | Well,"and he threw a look at Burton, chagrined but defiant,"what are you going to do about it?" |
52397 | What am I to do? |
52397 | What are you givin''us?" |
52397 | What are you going to do now?" |
52397 | What caused him to make such a dead set at this flying machine the moment you dropped off his back?" |
52397 | What did you do it for?" |
52397 | What do you say, Matt?" |
52397 | What do you take me for?" |
52397 | What gave you the idea he was crooked?" |
52397 | What time is it, Burton?" |
52397 | What was the bag? |
52397 | What would the new owner do with the serpent unless he had the place to keep him? |
52397 | What''s become of Ping, McGlory?" |
52397 | What''s happened to you?" |
52397 | What''s his reason for actin''like that?" |
52397 | What''s that bag hanging under the wing for?" |
52397 | What''s the answer?" |
52397 | What''s the harm?" |
52397 | What''s the use of trying to do anything with them? |
52397 | Where did you come from?" |
52397 | Where did you nab the Hindoo? |
52397 | Where you pick it up, sahib?" |
52397 | Where''s a doctor?" |
52397 | Who did it, Carter?" |
52397 | Who is your enemy, Aurung Zeeb?" |
52397 | Why did n''t he make a run of it as soon as he got his hands on the money?" |
52397 | Why should he keep the bag, and then come in here with it in his pocket?" |
52397 | Why? |
52397 | Why?" |
52397 | You ask me the reason our brave young friend is in a normal condition? |
52397 | You knew of my brother, the rajah? |
52397 | You''re the manager of this show, are you?" |
52397 | the cowboy asked himself, and how did it chance to be swinging there? |
15773 | A mile a minute, what? |
15773 | A visitor this time of day? 15773 Across ze sea?" |
15773 | Ah, but you see, Mother, he hasn''t--"Has n''t what-- Fifteen two, fifteen four-- Well, Kate? |
15773 | All the stuff onboard? |
15773 | And how often has it broken down? |
15773 | And the Reds, sir? |
15773 | And what''s this horrible smell? 15773 Any explanation?" |
15773 | Any petrol to be got here? |
15773 | Are you hurt, Roddy? |
15773 | Are you pulling my leg, now? |
15773 | Are you quite comfortable, Miss Bunce? |
15773 | But I may have a cup of tea? |
15773 | But do you know how far it is? 15773 But how did you know I had gone out to the Solomons?" |
15773 | But now, how do we stand? 15773 But now, what''s it all mean, you beggar? |
15773 | But what about the petrol? |
15773 | But you, Charley? |
15773 | But, hang it all, Mary, do you understand what it means? 15773 But-- I do n''t understand-- mid- ocean-- an aeroplane? |
15773 | But-- but-- then you have been_ round the world_, sir-- in_ how_ long? |
15773 | But-- from Port Darwin-- across the sea? |
15773 | Ca n''t you get off in your boats? |
15773 | Come from Sydney? |
15773 | Could n''t we fetch him? |
15773 | D''you want to see a blaze? |
15773 | Did you tell him that Mr. Charley is not at home? |
15773 | Do n''t you see I''ve had an accident? |
15773 | Do n''t you think you had better go to bed, Kate? |
15773 | Do n''t you think you have better give up the idea of returning at once, and come with us? 15773 Do n''t you think, Mr. Smith, you are going a little too far?" |
15773 | Do you mean to tell me, seriously, you have been to the South Pacific? |
15773 | Dry work, ai n''t it? |
15773 | Eh bien, monsieur? |
15773 | Eh, what? |
15773 | Excellence, are we to accept as samples two dozen left- hand gloves? 15773 For Honolulu, sir?" |
15773 | Got it, Roddy? |
15773 | Had n''t we better wait till to- morrow night? |
15773 | Has never been quite so late home on his last night of leave, has he, Mother? |
15773 | Have a banana? |
15773 | Have a sandwich? |
15773 | Have n''t you got a megaphone? |
15773 | Have you got the stuff? |
15773 | Hear what? |
15773 | Hi, boys,called Mr. Martin;"can tell where Ching- Fu keeps?" |
15773 | How are you getting on, Roddy? |
15773 | How d''e do? 15773 How in the world did you know about us?" |
15773 | How much longer, Roddy? |
15773 | How shall we explain to Mother? 15773 How will you go?" |
15773 | How''s that? |
15773 | How_ can_ you sleep when you''re in such terrible danger? |
15773 | I dare say I can,replied the other laughing,"but where do you spring from? |
15773 | I say,said one of the officers,"is your man stuffing us up? |
15773 | I suppose I had better send on your things to the Leslies in the morning? |
15773 | I suppose you''ll wire ahead for petrol to be held ready for you? 15773 In that what- you- may- call- it, sir?" |
15773 | In the aeroplane, you mean? |
15773 | In the-- what? |
15773 | Is it Admiralty business, Charley? |
15773 | Is that a fact? 15773 Is the Director- General here?" |
15773 | Is there anything fresh and frothy on the tape? |
15773 | It took ye a week, I suppose? |
15773 | Jenkinson sahib? 15773 Just receipt your bill, w- will you? |
15773 | Many passengers? |
15773 | My dear chap, are you mad? 15773 Nearly done, Roddy?" |
15773 | Nearly done, Roddy? |
15773 | Not in that machine? |
15773 | Now, old fellow, what is the best you can do for me? |
15773 | Oh, I say, can you speak English? |
15773 | Played the burglar? |
15773 | Rather less, is n''t it? |
15773 | Ready, Roddy? |
15773 | Remember I googlied you for a duck at Lord''s last year? |
15773 | See that, Roddy? |
15773 | Shall we fire at them? |
15773 | Shall we walk down to the sheds? 15773 So soon as that? |
15773 | Sounds simple, do n''t it? |
15773 | Sree sousand miles? |
15773 | Sure you would n''t be after declining to answer a question or two-- to be worked up into an interview, you know? |
15773 | That you, Daventry? |
15773 | That you, Martin? |
15773 | That''s Toronto over yonder? |
15773 | The question is, what are we to do now? 15773 Then our boat did not go down?" |
15773 | There''s no other way, is there? |
15773 | Tigers, eh? |
15773 | To- night, eh? |
15773 | Tout va bien, mademoiselle? |
15773 | Vat is it? 15773 Vous n''avez pas peur?" |
15773 | Was sagt er? |
15773 | Well, Mr.--Jones, is it? 15773 Well, mate,"he said, eyeing Smith curiously by the light of the door lamp;"what can I do for you?" |
15773 | Well, put that right, and hurry up, will you? |
15773 | What are your bearings? |
15773 | What can we do then? |
15773 | What distance, mister,he said,"from here to there-- to the cannibals?" |
15773 | What do ye want, man? |
15773 | What do you mean? 15773 What do you mean?" |
15773 | What do you think of that, Davis? |
15773 | What does he say? |
15773 | What is it, Father? |
15773 | What is this b- b- bill for d- d- damages you speak of? |
15773 | What time do you want to go? |
15773 | What''s that ye were saying? |
15773 | What''s the ha''penny? |
15773 | What''s this, mister? |
15773 | What''s wrong, mister? |
15773 | What''s your little game? |
15773 | What, mister? |
15773 | Where are we? |
15773 | Where are we? |
15773 | Where did you get that old rattler? |
15773 | Where is Mr. Jenkinson''s godown? |
15773 | Where''s it to be taken, sir? |
15773 | Where''s the fleet? 15773 Where?" |
15773 | Who are you? |
15773 | Who are you? |
15773 | Who is he, Betts? |
15773 | Why are you so restless to- night, Kate? |
15773 | Why_ do_ you pretend so? |
15773 | Yes; chocolate, bovril, the whole boiling; but--"And the maps? |
15773 | You are sure you are not hurt much? |
15773 | You do n''t say so? |
15773 | You got a cable from London ordering eighty gallons of petrol to be held ready for Lieutenant Smith? |
15773 | You have heard from Charley? |
15773 | You really mean it, then? |
15773 | You there, Daniels? 15773 You there, Kate? |
15773 | You think we ca n''t hope for relief? |
15773 | You will try to send help to Father? |
15773 | You will, will you? |
15773 | You wish to see my brother? |
15773 | You''ll forgive my presumption? |
15773 | You''ll look after my gal, sir? |
15773 | You''re sure we can rely on you? |
15773 | You''re two hours in advance of it, are n''t you? |
15773 | Your name''s not Smith? |
15773 | Your name, sir, is Lieutenant Smith? |
15773 | A clean shave, mister, hein?" |
15773 | After the interval usual in trunk calls, he began--"That you, Billy? |
15773 | All ready, Roddy?" |
15773 | An earthquake?" |
15773 | And there, far in the west, what is that? |
15773 | And what about getting back?" |
15773 | Are n''t you very tired?" |
15773 | Are you Lieutenant Smith, may I ask?" |
15773 | Are you off to reorganize the Turkish navy or something?" |
15773 | Are you policing these seas?" |
15773 | Are you ready?" |
15773 | As yet he had been flying for only three hours: could he live through seven days of it? |
15773 | Besides, we might have to go a long way, and how could we find our way back again?" |
15773 | Bring him to the''phone to take a note.... That you, Davis? |
15773 | But is it safe? |
15773 | But surely she will be there before you?" |
15773 | But why did n''t we get it before, man? |
15773 | By the b- bye, Mr. Smith did n''t pay you anything on account?" |
15773 | By the way, Kate, I suppose nothing of importance has come for me?" |
15773 | By the way, can you lend me two or three men for half- an- hour or so at five shillings an hour?" |
15773 | By the way, will you ask Daventry, in case I forget it, to send a cable to my sister to say that I''m all right?" |
15773 | Can you describe the spot?" |
15773 | Can you give me an hour or two?... |
15773 | Can you provide them at such short notice?" |
15773 | Can you tell me the latitude and longitude of this place?" |
15773 | Come to my room in ten minutes, will you? |
15773 | Could you cable me to the address in Constantinople the names of firms at those places?" |
15773 | D''you mean to say you''ve come pretty near two thousand five hundred miles to- day?" |
15773 | Day''s work done?" |
15773 | De quoi mêlez- vous? |
15773 | Did n''t you see it or hear it?" |
15773 | Do you really mean to say you''ve got here in eight hours from London?" |
15773 | Do you see him?" |
15773 | Eight hours''run; a record, is n''t it? |
15773 | Finished, Roddy?" |
15773 | For vy should I take oil for a motor- boat up country? |
15773 | Get out a special edition at once.... Where''s Davis? |
15773 | Go straight on, stranger; you see that constable there? |
15773 | Had any trouble?" |
15773 | Had some rival appeared on the scene at the very moment when he saw the crown of his long toil? |
15773 | Had they been enticed forth by the savages? |
15773 | Has not the administration of the French Republic arranged it? |
15773 | Have n''t you heard about it?" |
15773 | Have you got yesterday''s paper, Kate?" |
15773 | Have you heard from Charley lately?" |
15773 | Have you?" |
15773 | Hawley, d''you mind getting your men to clear the course? |
15773 | He cleared his throat,"If I med make so bold, sir, meanin''no offence--""What n- now?" |
15773 | He hesitated; should he go back? |
15773 | How are you? |
15773 | How did you come to be by the Andamans? |
15773 | How does that strike you, Roddy?" |
15773 | How far have we to go?" |
15773 | How far is it across the Atlantic?" |
15773 | Hullo, Jenkins, what''s the matter?" |
15773 | I ca n''t make a name in geology, but why should n''t I go down to posterity as the first man to fly round the world?" |
15773 | I hoped to make Apia; that is it, yonder, I suppose?" |
15773 | I suppose I can get some petrol somewhere about here?" |
15773 | I suppose it''s for a motor- boat you want it? |
15773 | I''m not often surprised, but-- what are you grinning at?" |
15773 | Is it your opinion, now, that we''ll have a war in the air one of these days?" |
15773 | Is this the Admiralty''s latest?" |
15773 | Is your aeroplane outside, old man?" |
15773 | It''s nearly two thousand miles from here to Ysabel Island, I think?" |
15773 | Know you not that I-- oui, moi qui vous parle-- have alone the right of entry into this_ tell_? |
15773 | M- m- my name? |
15773 | McWhirter?" |
15773 | Mr. Smith wo n''t do it quite so quick-- not this journey, at any rate-- but who knows what these young scientific fellows will be a- doing of next? |
15773 | No names again?" |
15773 | Now can you get the captain to clear the course for me?" |
15773 | Now shall we go?" |
15773 | Now, is there anything I can do for you before you go?" |
15773 | Nuisance having to change again, is n''t it?" |
15773 | Of course it''s a different matter to keep it up for days on end, but how long have you had your motor- car?" |
15773 | Over the sea?" |
15773 | Petrol, is it? |
15773 | Pond?" |
15773 | Qu''importe?" |
15773 | Raising himself, and dashing the clinging hay wisps from his face, he shouted--"Is she smashed, Roddy?" |
15773 | Say, what''s up?" |
15773 | Smith?" |
15773 | Smoke, or a cloud? |
15773 | Suppose you_ do_ come down; what then?" |
15773 | Take a wee drappie? |
15773 | That all right?... |
15773 | The chief difficulty is that we do n''t know the exact direction of their camp, but why should n''t I go out to- night and locate it?" |
15773 | The people do not speak French, I suppose?" |
15773 | The spectators held their breath: could she live out the storm? |
15773 | There be summat to wet our whistles on to- night, eh, men?" |
15773 | There''s some ordered by wire from a man named Benzonana; can you put me in the way of getting it quickly?" |
15773 | They must be one or other of the opposing fleets, either the Reds or the Blues; but which? |
15773 | This was written nearly five thousand years ago; what is the aeroplane, a thing of yesterday, in comparison with this glorious relic of antiquity?" |
15773 | Was it possible that they were making reprisals on the enemy who had previously attacked them? |
15773 | Was there any use in struggling further? |
15773 | Well, now, is there a smith in the village? |
15773 | Well, now, what will your best course be?" |
15773 | What about your man, by the way?" |
15773 | What aeroplane?" |
15773 | What chance was there in this dense forest of finding what he sought? |
15773 | What do you call that vessel of yours?" |
15773 | What had we better do?" |
15773 | What have I to do with aeroplanes? |
15773 | What in the world are you after?" |
15773 | What is it this time?" |
15773 | What is that?" |
15773 | What is your friend''s hurry?" |
15773 | What''s the amount of your b- b- bill?" |
15773 | What''s the matter?" |
15773 | What''s your name, mister?" |
15773 | What''s your speed?" |
15773 | What?" |
15773 | What?... |
15773 | When are you due back?" |
15773 | When do you think you will get there?" |
15773 | Where did you come from?" |
15773 | Where do you hail from?" |
15773 | Where is it?" |
15773 | Where shall I find you in Penang, sir, if I get there safe?" |
15773 | Whereabouts was the wreck, sir?" |
15773 | Who are you? |
15773 | Who are you?" |
15773 | Who are you?" |
15773 | Who are you?" |
15773 | Who knew if they would have strength or sanity for the task after another sweltering day? |
15773 | Why had the party left their fort? |
15773 | Why should you imperil your life, perhaps in vain?" |
15773 | Why, I suppose you''ve had no breakfast?" |
15773 | Why?" |
15773 | Why?" |
15773 | Will you send a wire to Barracombe for me, Johnson? |
15773 | Withdraw: yes, certainly, at the quickest possible: but how? |
15773 | Would you mind running down to the shed and-- cleaning the engine?" |
15773 | Yes, I know my time''s up: I''ll renew.--You there, Billy? |
15773 | Yet why was the fort deserted? |
15773 | You always read the Mater''s letters to her, do n''t you? |
15773 | You are playing games vid me?" |
15773 | You can tell me where to get what I want?" |
15773 | You did n''t get my telegram, then? |
15773 | You do n''t suppose I came down here on purpose? |
15773 | You have come all the way from London since Friday morning?" |
15773 | You know Charley Smith? |
15773 | You know what I mean: a blacksmith, a man who makes iron things?" |
15773 | You know your room?" |
15773 | You wo n''t forget?" |
15773 | You wo n''t mind me ringing up a few particular friends, and inviting them out to see you?" |
15773 | You''d like a wash, eh? |
15773 | You''ll manage it? |
15773 | are you there?... |
15773 | exclaimed Mr. Daventry;"what have you been doing to yourself, Smith?" |
15773 | when did you start? |
10599 | ''Oo cares for the bloomin''''eathen? 10599 A tiger in the Arctic?" |
10599 | A tiger? |
10599 | A wolf? |
10599 | All life belts on? |
10599 | And the Province, the Red Riders? |
10599 | And the company? |
10599 | And you got the wheat from them? |
10599 | Any heirs? |
10599 | Are all prisons up here made of ivory inlaid with gold? |
10599 | Are you hurt? |
10599 | Believe it''s that seal- fishery business? |
10599 | But I say,ejaculated Barney,"you can stow the remains of our plane somewhere below, ca n''t you?" |
10599 | But how much do you really know about airplanes? |
10599 | But the ensign? |
10599 | But the wheat? |
10599 | But what would his pal have to do with it? |
10599 | Can we do it? |
10599 | Can you understand their jargon? |
10599 | D''y''see it, lad? |
10599 | D''y''see it? 10599 D''y''see''i m?" |
10599 | Dead? |
10599 | Did y''see that? |
10599 | Did you fellows wake up last night? |
10599 | Did you get it? |
10599 | Do n''t see anything down there in the ruins, do you? |
10599 | Do n''t we start for the Pole at once? |
10599 | Do you remember the obstacle- races they used to have at county fairs when you were a boy? |
10599 | Do you_ know_ her? |
10599 | Fer if ye be,continued the man,"ye''s be keepin''a lookout fer Timmie noo, would n''t ye though?" |
10599 | Four or five days? 10599 Going back? |
10599 | Going back? |
10599 | Have we any extra steel plate? |
10599 | Have you gone due south by west instead of north by west? |
10599 | Heirs? 10599 How are we going to tell that schooner when we see it?" |
10599 | How did that happen? |
10599 | How? |
10599 | I wonder? |
10599 | Ice beneath the ocean? 10599 Is-- is that true?" |
10599 | Kill''em? |
10599 | La Vaune? |
10599 | Landed? |
10599 | Looks like the bones of a man? |
10599 | Make of it? |
10599 | Meat? |
10599 | Might I ask the nature of your proposed trip? |
10599 | Now I suppose the remaining questions are: Will you be at liberty to take up aviation again and-- do you want to? |
10599 | Now, why did n''t you say''Yes''on the spot? |
10599 | Ow is she? |
10599 | Pardon me,interrupted the Major,"but were some of the reindeer white?" |
10599 | Rainey, get my case from the locker, will you? |
10599 | Return? |
10599 | Rifles? |
10599 | Say, you do n''t suppose,exclaimed Barney that night at supper--"you remember those awful wide planes of the Major''s? |
10599 | See what? |
10599 | Shall we attempt to go on or turn back? |
10599 | Speaking of rewards,said the Major quickly,"how about that ten thousand which comes to some of us? |
10599 | Tell me,Jarvis whispered,"do my h''old h''eyes deceive me, or h''is there a line of dark h''over t''th''right of y''?" |
10599 | That explains why we circled three times during our first day''s flight? 10599 That money?" |
10599 | The logging company? |
10599 | The question? |
10599 | The stuff-- blankets, grub and the like, yes, but--Barney smiled in spite of himself--"why the plane? |
10599 | Then what''s happened? |
10599 | Then you did n''t see it? |
10599 | Think we can save him? |
10599 | Tiger? |
10599 | Timmie? 10599 Too close ashore?" |
10599 | Understand Mill''s grenades? |
10599 | Was he your boy? |
10599 | Well, what then? |
10599 | Well,he asked, when the native had finished,"what do you make of it?" |
10599 | What d''y''think of that? |
10599 | What did I tell you? |
10599 | What do you make of it? |
10599 | What do you suppose they want to know that for? |
10599 | What happened? |
10599 | What happened? |
10599 | What now? |
10599 | What puzzles me is, where''s the remains of the fellow''s generator and wireless? |
10599 | What was that? |
10599 | What were you making? |
10599 | What with? |
10599 | What you doing? |
10599 | What''s all this rumpus? |
10599 | What''s on your mind, Bruce? |
10599 | What''s that tangle above the cliffs there? |
10599 | What''s that? |
10599 | What''s that? |
10599 | What''s the idea? |
10599 | What''s the matter with you? |
10599 | What''s this? |
10599 | What''s up? |
10599 | What? 10599 What?" |
10599 | What? |
10599 | Where can we be? |
10599 | Who ever thought of going to the Pole in a plane through Canada? |
10599 | Who were the three strange- appearing natives who had attacked him and his companion in the jail? 10599 Who''s Timmie?" |
10599 | Who''s he, she, it? |
10599 | Why, what could be fairer? |
10599 | Why? 10599 Will h''I? |
10599 | Will h''I? |
10599 | Will he beat me again? |
10599 | Will she rise again? |
10599 | Wo n''t she be buried in snow? |
10599 | Would you mind letting me know where you are located? |
10599 | Would you mind mentioning my name in the message? |
10599 | Ye''ll pardon an old man''s foolish questions? |
10599 | You are a Canadian, are you not? |
10599 | You do n''t think,said Dave,"that we''d attempt the Pole?" |
10599 | You thought what? |
10599 | You? 10599 A sail? 10599 A thousand times? 10599 Am I right? |
10599 | An''ye''ll be lookin''fer it noo, wo n''t ye? |
10599 | And Timmie? |
10599 | And if they closed, one after the other, more rapidly than the advance of the submarine, what was finally to become of the submarine crew? |
10599 | And if we were to find ourselves in the center of such a vast field of ice with oxygen exhausted, what chance would we have?" |
10599 | And now I wonder-- I just wonder, did they have anything to do with the disappearance of our friend Dave and the engineer?" |
10599 | And the bear, if he were still there? |
10599 | And what was that protruding above what remained of the snow? |
10599 | And where were they going? |
10599 | And why not? |
10599 | Apparently not, for from Bruce through the receiver came a groan, then;"What''s happened? |
10599 | Ar''ye that blind? |
10599 | Are you going back? |
10599 | Are you ready? |
10599 | Are you?" |
10599 | As for houses, did they not have their deerskins and walrus- pelts? |
10599 | Barney''s friend, Dave Tower, who had gone North in a submarine on a mission as mysterious as their own; would they ever meet? |
10599 | Bruce exclaimed,"would n''t it be great to take packs, rifles and mosquito- bar netting and go hunting that fellow in that Northern wilderness?" |
10599 | But Jarvis? |
10599 | But honest, does n''t he look natural standing there in the ice?" |
10599 | But how was that stretch of tumbled icefloe to be crossed? |
10599 | But the plane? |
10599 | But twelve years? |
10599 | But what else could it have been? |
10599 | But what was this that reached his ears? |
10599 | But what was this? |
10599 | But what was this? |
10599 | But what was this? |
10599 | But what was to be done? |
10599 | But why freight the junk? |
10599 | But, after all, what good does a big expedition do? |
10599 | But, as for this present journey, you are perhaps aware that an illegal wireless station has been operating somewhere in these woods and hills?" |
10599 | But, for that matter, who would even dream of a wolf large enough to carry off a two hundred pound deer?" |
10599 | But-- where were they? |
10599 | Ca n''t be a whale up here, can it?" |
10599 | Ca n''t ye see''ow th''thing''d work?" |
10599 | Ca n''t ye see''ow they do n''t want the h''Americans or th''Roosians to git t''the treasure of this peninsula? |
10599 | Charting Northeast Passage? |
10599 | Could he play the part of the mole, as the tiger was sure to play the part of the cat? |
10599 | Could it be only a bit of bent timber lodged there on the log- roof of a long- abandoned Indian shack? |
10599 | Could it be possible they had seized the submarine and deserted the party for the sake of gain to themselves? |
10599 | Could it have been an Indian dressed in white, tanned deerskin? |
10599 | Dave, who had been studying the shore with the glass, handed it to Jarvis:"Do you see something like a village?" |
10599 | Dave, who knew that the old seaman was acquainted with several native dialects, said:"What do you make of it?" |
10599 | Did he see shadows flitting across the ice? |
10599 | Did he sense the dark shadow which always presaged open water? |
10599 | Did they see dark figures dancing about the ruins? |
10599 | Did you shoot him?" |
10599 | Do n''t ye know all the time the three rascals we well- nigh killed was Japs? |
10599 | Do n''t you suppose that solves the problem of Peary''s white reindeer?" |
10599 | Do n''t you think-- think, he and I might manage the sub for you-- your trip?" |
10599 | Eat? |
10599 | For a second he hesitated; should he return and call his companions, or should he attempt to anchor the plane, temporarily at least, unaided? |
10599 | Four or five, did you say? |
10599 | Going back, did y''say? |
10599 | Going to quit construction here and use planes the rest of the way? |
10599 | Had he really been misdirected by the compass on the plane? |
10599 | Had some Indian tribe taken to farming? |
10599 | Had the cold benumbed his senses? |
10599 | Hae ye never hearn o''Timmie? |
10599 | How did they chance to have a jail at all? |
10599 | How did they happen to have such a strange jail? |
10599 | How did you come? |
10599 | How had he fared? |
10599 | How had he lived? |
10599 | How long will it take to complete the repairs?" |
10599 | How many more times would he do this? |
10599 | How was it to be done? |
10599 | If so, who was the person whose bones lay in the ruins? |
10599 | If the Major''s suppositions were correct; if, indeed, this trader was the hired agent of a fanatical clan, would he not be armed and on the alert? |
10599 | If the ice did not pile when the floes came together, why was it? |
10599 | If they wandered this far, might they not easily have gone on to the other side of the continent?" |
10599 | In another moment the crew found themselves outside clinging to the tilted and unsteady craft, blinking in the sunlight, and seeing--? |
10599 | No one had a ready answer, and at last the Doctor spoke again:"In the meantime, what are we going to do about it? |
10599 | No one would be coming up here for a high altitude test, would he?" |
10599 | North Pole? |
10599 | Now he shouted through the telephone to Barney;"What''ll I do if I catch a square of light below?" |
10599 | Or was it-- was it what he knew Bruce hoped it might be-- a supply- house for gasoline, or perhaps a motor- boat with a supply of gasoline on board? |
10599 | Or, what if it had been abandoned? |
10599 | Rope- handed spiking hammers or pick- axes?" |
10599 | Russian gold? |
10599 | So if ye''ll be goin''to the woods ye''ll be watchin''noo, wo n''t ye?" |
10599 | So then I have the good fortune to be speaking to the very man I seek?" |
10599 | So they walked the ridge and had passed the willow clump, when Rainey gripped his companion''s arm, whispering:"What''s that down there to the right? |
10599 | So why not up here?" |
10599 | Suddenly the old engineer started:"Did you see''i m?" |
10599 | The Major and Bruce; had they been blown into eternity? |
10599 | The Pole; you do n''t suppose he''d try it?" |
10599 | The only question in his optimistic young mind was, which would arrive first? |
10599 | The sun soon set and a long night began, but what of that? |
10599 | The wireless station offers an excuse, do n''t you see?" |
10599 | Then Bruce voiced their thoughts:"Do you suppose this Major What- you- may- call- him is bringing up his plane for some commission like that?" |
10599 | Then, with a smile, he said briskly:"Of course, you''ll have breakfast? |
10599 | There was a peculiar twinkle in the Major''s eye, as he asked:"How do you make that out?" |
10599 | There was an eager, questioning look in his kindly eyes, as he said in quaint Scotch accent:"Ye''ll noo be goin''to the woods a''soon?" |
10599 | There''s gold in Russia, on the Kamchatkan peninsula; you know that, do n''t you?" |
10599 | This wheat- field now? |
10599 | To the partners? |
10599 | Took us for a whale, do n''t you see? |
10599 | Was he asleep and dreaming? |
10599 | Was he seeing things? |
10599 | Was the infernal- machine a genuine affair, and if so, would it explode? |
10599 | Was the man who had been accidentally shot the night before the anarchist trader? |
10599 | Was the motor simply dead, or was the propeller gone? |
10599 | Was there much of it to be found?" |
10599 | What are they up to? |
10599 | What awaited them on the surface? |
10599 | What could cause this fright, save the sound and sight of our plane hovering over them? |
10599 | What did it mean if they were successful? |
10599 | What do you suppose that means?" |
10599 | What if the machine- gun jammed? |
10599 | What if this trading station was one of those myths that float down from the North? |
10599 | What of the stranger? |
10599 | What was it that he had just concluded? |
10599 | What was it? |
10599 | What was it? |
10599 | What was that? |
10599 | What was the answer? |
10599 | What weapons do you choose? |
10599 | What were they doing here? |
10599 | What will you do with your twelve hours?" |
10599 | What''s doing now? |
10599 | What''s that out in the center?" |
10599 | What''s the grand idea?" |
10599 | Whence had come the seed wheat? |
10599 | Where did the gold come from that had been used to inlay the ivory? |
10599 | Where did they come from? |
10599 | Where was he? |
10599 | Where?" |
10599 | Who was this Major, anyway? |
10599 | Who''d ever thought of that for a prison?" |
10599 | Who''s in possession of that peninsula at the present time? |
10599 | Why might not Timmie have camped here and planted this wheat? |
10599 | Will you forget your flag and your shipmates for gold?" |
10599 | Will you take the money to the little girl, La Vaune?" |
10599 | Will you take us both?" |
10599 | Wo n''t we, Bruce?" |
10599 | Wolves, grizzlies, some unknown terror, perhaps? |
10599 | Would he not, perhaps, have Indians and half- breeds hired to help guard his secret? |
10599 | Would his companion understand and risk a shot as the tiger prepared for another spring? |
10599 | Would she rise? |
10599 | Would the craft stand the test? |
10599 | Would they ever be able to help him blot the stain from his name? |
10599 | Would they ever return to La Vaune with the money which was rightfully hers? |
10599 | Would they not perish for lack of air? |
10599 | Ye''ll be kenin''the lass thet helps in the boardin''shack where you and the bosses eat?" |
10599 | Yet, here was, after all, another problem: What was this white- coated creature? |
10599 | exclaimed Bruce suddenly,"who''s this Major chap, anyway? |
10599 | exclaimed Dave,"who is this doctor of ours, anyway?" |
10599 | he said, at last,"who''d marvel at that? |
10936 | ''Ai n''t much on conversation, be yer?'' 10936 ''Gwan, you fool nigger, don''you know dat dem flying boys an''gals is to be hayr ter- day?" |
10936 | ''I''m a peddler,''I explained,''could I get something to eat and a room here for the night?'' 10936 ''Peddler?'' |
10936 | ''What you tradin''in?'' 10936 ''What you tradin''in?'' |
10936 | ''Where you going?'' 10936 ''Where''d you come from?'' |
10936 | A month''s time? |
10936 | A trip to North Carolina? 10936 Ai n''t you frum the guv- ment?" |
10936 | All right? |
10936 | And how did you solve the problem of what to do with the rest of the summer? |
10936 | And hunt up missing heiresses? |
10936 | And let those kids get away with what they did? 10936 And then?" |
10936 | And what''s that,--lie in hammocks and indulge in ice- cream sodas and chocolates? |
10936 | And what''s that? |
10936 | And why, pray, Roy Prescott? |
10936 | Any idea where the young folks have gone? |
10936 | Anybody been around, Tam? |
10936 | Anybody laughing? |
10936 | Are you good with a shovel? |
10936 | Are you really better? |
10936 | Busted? |
10936 | But how could I go? |
10936 | But how could they know that she was here? |
10936 | But if it did n''t fly, how in tarnation did it git here? |
10936 | But if not? |
10936 | But the guard outside? |
10936 | But what is your plan? |
10936 | But what on earth have two shovels to do with stopping a bunch of kids from entering in an aëroplane race? |
10936 | But who''ll go? |
10936 | But, my dear children, do you realize what such a trip means? |
10936 | But-- but who would drive the car? |
10936 | Ca n''t we stay and help? |
10936 | D''ye think it was stolen? |
10936 | Did n''t say anything else? |
10936 | Did they say they were going to watch all night? |
10936 | Did you have any success with the telephone? |
10936 | Did you see anything? 10936 Do n''t be a goose, Aunt Sally,"comforted Peggy;"do n''t you know that lightning never strikes twice in the same place?" |
10936 | Do n''t know; but he''s all right, depend upon it,said Jimsy cheerfully;"hello, what''s that coming now?" |
10936 | Do you know what happened to that plug, Carlos? |
10936 | Do you think she was stolen from somewhere? |
10936 | Done what? |
10936 | Everything ready? |
10936 | Flap its wings and all that like a burd? |
10936 | Going to tell the girls anything about Kelly and his remarks? |
10936 | Goodness, then you have n''t any right now? |
10936 | Got a mortgage on it, eh? |
10936 | Got any spark plugs? |
10936 | Gracious, are we in for more trouble? |
10936 | Great Scot, what''s happening? |
10936 | Had n''t we better be getting on? |
10936 | Have you any suspicions as to who did it? |
10936 | Have you no other name? |
10936 | Have you telephoned them? |
10936 | How are we going to get out of this? |
10936 | How can you say so? 10936 How do you know?" |
10936 | How does it go anyway? |
10936 | How fast can the engines get back? |
10936 | How is that? |
10936 | How long would it take us to get to Marysville? |
10936 | How much do you think the lease of your field for an hour or so is worth? |
10936 | How much do you want? |
10936 | How was it, Jimsy? |
10936 | How''d you alls get hyar? |
10936 | How''s that? |
10936 | How? |
10936 | I daon''t, hey? 10936 I do n''t know what to do about her,"admitted Peggy;"suppose we ask Aunt Sally? |
10936 | I reckon so, son,grinned the red- faced man, in response to this elegant speech;"now, then, are you going to give up that chair or not?" |
10936 | I wonder where Roy is? |
10936 | If what? |
10936 | In just what way? |
10936 | In just what way? |
10936 | In what way? |
10936 | Is he alive? |
10936 | Is n''t there any fire apparatus near here? |
10936 | Is that so, Mr. Roy Prescott? 10936 Is the window open?" |
10936 | It do n''t never do to be too sure,murmured the melancholy Jake,"''cos why? |
10936 | It''s grand, is n''t it? |
10936 | Jiggered if I know,spoke Jimsy;"ca n''t you or Roy think of anything?" |
10936 | My dear child, do you actually contemplate taking me flying through the air at my time of life? |
10936 | No danger of that,responded Peggy, from the vantage of the tonneau of the car;"but how are you going to rope him?" |
10936 | No; what good would that do? 10936 Nonsense; what harm can he do us anyhow? |
10936 | Notice anything peculiar about it? |
10936 | Now, what''s he trying to do, I wonder? |
10936 | Of course; who else could go? |
10936 | Oh, Peggy, what are you going to do with it? |
10936 | Oh, they did, eh? 10936 Oh, you know me, eh?" |
10936 | On the other hand, how are we to look after her? |
10936 | Peggy Prescott, you mean me? |
10936 | Ready? |
10936 | Remember what? |
10936 | Said nothing about coming back? |
10936 | See here, Jim Bancroft, this wo n''t do,he sharply admonished himself,"you''re on duty, understand? |
10936 | See that sign? |
10936 | So you ai n''t going to stay out? |
10936 | So you''ve been fired, eh? |
10936 | Surely you ca n''t refuse now? |
10936 | Taking a stroll, eh? |
10936 | Tell you what,cried Jimsy suddenly,"what''s the matter with Miss Prescott going along in an automobile? |
10936 | That''s plain enough,struck in Roy;"but how do you propose to do it?" |
10936 | The idea just came to me in a second,explained Roy modestly, in answer to the ladies''congratulations and praise,"it worked, though, did n''t it?" |
10936 | The mayor of the town has asked us to take part,came from Jimsy;"what have you got to do with it?" |
10936 | Then I''m to stay with you? |
10936 | Then how kin it fly? |
10936 | Then we can do nothing more? |
10936 | Then what are we to do with her? |
10936 | Then what did they do? |
10936 | Then you are going to fly out there? |
10936 | Ther law? 10936 There''s another thing, what are we to do with this little Wren?" |
10936 | Three what? |
10936 | Wa''al, it ai n''t flyin'', is it? |
10936 | Wake you up? |
10936 | Want to buy him? |
10936 | We set out for a quiet trip and encounter nothing but troubles--"Adventures, Aunt Sally,laughingly corrected Roy;"what is life without adventures?" |
10936 | Well, I''ll leave him to you now,rejoined Roy;"is there a hospital near here?" |
10936 | Well, Tam,he said,"lost your job?" |
10936 | Well, girls, was it an exciting battle? |
10936 | Well, girls, what''s up now? |
10936 | Well, is n''t that being fired? 10936 Well, never mind, I''ve got another for you,"replied Jim Cassell, in what was for him an unwontedly amiable tone;"can you go to work at once?" |
10936 | Well, there was n''t anything to do but fight, unless we''d run away,laughed Roy,"and now what about the cause of all the trouble?" |
10936 | Well, what do you make of that? |
10936 | Well, what next? |
10936 | Well, what''s to be done now? |
10936 | Well, why not? 10936 Well,"he said,"what do you think now?" |
10936 | Well,said he,"are you going to fly?" |
10936 | Well? |
10936 | Wha''de matter? |
10936 | Wha''s true,--dat you all''s crazy? |
10936 | What are the facts? |
10936 | What are we to do? |
10936 | What are you doing here? |
10936 | What are you doing to this child? |
10936 | What are you going to do? |
10936 | What did you say? |
10936 | What do you mean to do? |
10936 | What do you mean? |
10936 | What do you mean? |
10936 | What gift of second sight have you? |
10936 | What if anyone pounces on us? |
10936 | What is it, dear? 10936 What is it?" |
10936 | What is it? |
10936 | What is your name, dear? |
10936 | What next? |
10936 | What next? |
10936 | What next? |
10936 | What on earth is up now? |
10936 | What will we do about it? |
10936 | What will we do; go back for reënforcements? |
10936 | What you alls want hyar? |
10936 | What''s his name? |
10936 | What''s the country coming to? |
10936 | What''s the danger if we keep on? |
10936 | What''s the matter with it? |
10936 | What''s the matter? |
10936 | What''s the trouble? |
10936 | What''s the trouble? |
10936 | What''s thet, Jed? |
10936 | What''s up now, Roy? |
10936 | What''s up, father? |
10936 | What''s up? 10936 What''s your idea, sis?" |
10936 | What, camp out every night? 10936 Where are the aviation grounds?" |
10936 | Where did those boys come from? |
10936 | Where is my machine? |
10936 | Where under the sun did you find them, Beppo? |
10936 | Where? |
10936 | Who are you? |
10936 | Who can have done that? |
10936 | Who can have done this? |
10936 | Who is going to take care of Wren? |
10936 | Who is he? |
10936 | Who''ll make it? |
10936 | Whom do you mean by they? |
10936 | Why do n''t you box the nasty thing''s ears for riding in our car? |
10936 | Why do n''t you put him on the stage as the boxing ram, or something like that? |
10936 | Why not go after them now, while the trail is hot? |
10936 | Why not? 10936 Why not?" |
10936 | Why, does n''t he wear glasses, have a hawk- like nose and smoke a pipe? |
10936 | Why, what''s the matter? 10936 Why? |
10936 | Why? |
10936 | Why? |
10936 | Will it last five minutes longer? |
10936 | Wo n''t, hey? 10936 Wonder how far we are from Meadville?" |
10936 | Wonder who that man is who is monkeying with the_ Red Dragon_? |
10936 | Would you care to hear about it? |
10936 | Wren, do you know that you are a very bad young lady? |
10936 | Yes, and there are wonderful, long- distance migrations of birds, so why not a cross- country flight of motor butterflies? |
10936 | Yes, and what then? |
10936 | Yes; and what did you tell them? |
10936 | Yes; do you know any reason why I should n''t be? |
10936 | You bane want me no more? |
10936 | You kin? |
10936 | You will, eh? |
10936 | Afraid of the lightning?" |
10936 | Ai n''t likely dat ef de Lawd had meant us ter fly he''d have give us wings, would n''t he?" |
10936 | And then with the same sickly grin:"Say, miss, does it really fly?" |
10936 | Are you dreaming?" |
10936 | Are you there?" |
10936 | But how can you free us?" |
10936 | But, say, who can have done this?" |
10936 | Could she make it ahead of her rival? |
10936 | Get me?" |
10936 | Got everything ready?" |
10936 | How about you, Jimsy?" |
10936 | How comes it you have that monkey wrench in your hands if you were n''t tampering with the machinery?" |
10936 | How do you suppose that gun came to be there?" |
10936 | How soon can you get the engines there?" |
10936 | How was he to confess that he had failed in his trust-- had slept while danger threatened? |
10936 | I guess you feel pretty sore, Tam, do n''t you?" |
10936 | I never heard of gals flyin'', although, come to think of it, why should n''t they?" |
10936 | Illustration:"What are you doing to this child?" |
10936 | Is there any doubt in your mind that that fellow Cassell is at the bottom of all this?" |
10936 | It was not altogether an accident, eh?" |
10936 | No harm in that, is there?" |
10936 | See it?" |
10936 | See that deep cañon? |
10936 | Seems funny, does n''t it, to stable aëroplanes in a livery stable?" |
10936 | So I see,"was the rejoinder;"how be you goin''ter git out of thar?" |
10936 | That one with the fallen tree across it?" |
10936 | That''s so,"cried Roy, snapping his fingers;"it would leave an odd track too, would n''t it?" |
10936 | Then, with a sudden change of front:"See here, Tam, do you want to make some money?" |
10936 | WHAT''S TO BE DONE WITH THE WREN? |
10936 | Was it very wrong of me? |
10936 | Was n''t Pegasus, the first flying machine on record, a horse?" |
10936 | Was this Sky Cruise that they had looked forward to with such eager anticipation to be nothing but a series of mishaps? |
10936 | We''re not hurting anything,"objected Roy;"surely you do n''t mind our occupying the field for an hour or so till the storm blows over?" |
10936 | Well, they''ll see that they ai n''t everything around here,"responded the lad;"I reckon Jim Cassell has some say here, eh, dad?" |
10936 | What are you doing there?" |
10936 | What did they tell you when they let you go?" |
10936 | What did they want to know?" |
10936 | What did they want?" |
10936 | What did you say?" |
10936 | What do you mean? |
10936 | What happened?" |
10936 | What sort of stuff?" |
10936 | What will we do now?" |
10936 | What''ll stop me?" |
10936 | What''s To Be Done with The Wren? |
10936 | What''s that?" |
10936 | What''s the trouble?" |
10936 | Which would win the$ 500 race? |
10936 | Who are you, anyhow?" |
10936 | Who could have attempted such a thing?" |
10936 | Who''ll bid? |
10936 | Who''ll bid? |
10936 | Why should we stay out of it?" |
10936 | You do not like it?" |
10936 | You''ll take me with you, wo n''t you?" |
10936 | demanded his wife, noticing his wildly staring eyes and open mouth;"you gone fool crazy?" |
10936 | exclaimed Roy heartily, glancing approvingly at his sister,"what''s your idea?" |
10936 | punned Roy;"he ramified all over, did n''t he?" |
10936 | roared the sheep man;"ai n''t hurt, be you?" |
10936 | she exclaimed,"what is all this? |
10936 | she hailed, as the porch party hastily adjourned and ran to welcome her,"how''s that for a novice only recently out of the Mineola School?" |
10936 | sighed the child;"am I going to stay with you as long as that?" |
10936 | what''s this?" |
10936 | yelled Jimsy;"Has n''t had enough of it yet, eh?" |
6827 | ''Sw''at? |
6827 | About what? |
6827 | And go back on the_ Skyrocket_? 6827 Anything else gone wrong?" |
6827 | Apples? 6827 Are you coming?" |
6827 | Back again? |
6827 | Big news? 6827 Boy who was drowned? |
6827 | But did n''t you tell Tod''s dad about what we-- found out? |
6827 | But might n''t it just have been snagged or shoaled up above, and finally worked loose? |
6827 | But there were two of you on the island after me, were n''t there? 6827 But there''s one thing that puzzles me-- do you notice how much water there is in the boat? |
6827 | But what do you want to get onto the island for? 6827 But what was the idea in thumping us because you thought we were from the island?" |
6827 | But where''s the-- the body, then? |
6827 | But why do n''t you let us look on the island? 6827 But why do n''t you want us to look for our friend? |
6827 | But why,Jerry wanted to know,"did n''t you come back home right away-- if you were n''t hurt?" |
6827 | But wo n''t you tell me about Tod? |
6827 | Ca n''t you beg off and get a little more time? |
6827 | Ca n''t you slow her down a little? |
6827 | Ca n''t you tune her down? |
6827 | Course I did-- but we''re going, are n''t we? 6827 Did n''t it look like something blackish in the bottom of the boat?" |
6827 | Did n''t we see you slinking along through the bushes? |
6827 | Did someone tell you he was there, then? |
6827 | Did you ask my father about him? |
6827 | Did you ever run it before? |
6827 | Did you hear it? |
6827 | Do n''t you think we''ve wasted enough time, without losing some more by going back? |
6827 | Do we get a front seat at the circus when the man puts his head in the lion''s mouth-- and a ride on the elephant? |
6827 | Do you care if we come over and look along the shore of the island? |
6827 | Do you have to have such skilled mechanics to make those repairs? |
6827 | Do you hear anything? |
6827 | Do you know what I think? |
6827 | Do you suppose Mr. Aikens took the mill boat? |
6827 | Do you suppose,he began with a kind of despairing eagerness,"that he could have stayed in the boat?" |
6827 | Do you think it''s a sin to steal? |
6827 | Do you think it''s wrong to punish criminals? |
6827 | Do you_ need_ me along, Jerry? |
6827 | Down river? |
6827 | Eats? |
6827 | Eh? 6827 Eh?" |
6827 | Ever been over this road before? |
6827 | Fall down? 6827 Find her? |
6827 | Get them? 6827 Got any plan?" |
6827 | Groaning? 6827 Guessing, huh? |
6827 | Have all the river towns been telegraphed? |
6827 | Have any trouble? |
6827 | Have you seen anything of our friend? |
6827 | He swims well, does n''t he? |
6827 | How can we do it? 6827 How did he happen to get into this?" |
6827 | How do you know then that this is the right road? |
6827 | How far do you s''pose the boat''s drifted by now, Jerry? |
6827 | I believe that Tod Fulton is----"Not alive? |
6827 | I s''pose I''ll have to stay here and help the Scouts mount guard over the relics here-- when will you be back? |
6827 | I say, Phil,he called guardedly;"you ready to listen to the wildest kind of a notion?" |
6827 | I suppose you came to look for a lock of hair from your drowned friend''s head? |
6827 | Is a half million dollars worth while? |
6827 | Is he alive? |
6827 | Is there a gun in the house? |
6827 | Is your mind wandering, or what? 6827 It belongs to Mr. Fulton, I suppose?" |
6827 | It seems a shame----began Tod, when they were once more outside, then asked abruptly:"Willing to take a licking, Jerry?" |
6827 | It turned in toward the river, did n''t it? 6827 Jerry, do n''t you think we''d better be getting on home?" |
6827 | Know anybody there by the name of Tod Fulton? 6827 Looks like some big crouching animal, does n''t it?" |
6827 | Lost Island? |
6827 | Luck was sure breaking our way this morning, was n''t it? |
6827 | Lunch time already? |
6827 | Mind if I come out and try my luck beside you? |
6827 | Mr. Billings came and got you, did n''t he? |
6827 | Mr. Fulton just came home, pa, and Tod told me to tell him----"Guess it''ll keep till morning, wo n''t it? 6827 Not swearing, I take it?" |
6827 | Noticed? 6827 Now what?" |
6827 | Oh, well, the machine''s still here, so why grouch over a couple hours''sleep? |
6827 | Oh, you here, too, little one? |
6827 | On Lost Island? |
6827 | Phil Fulton and his Boy Scouts----"My nephew, you mean, from Chester? 6827 Put''em in jail you mean?" |
6827 | Shall I tie you up? |
6827 | Shall we call? |
6827 | Shall we risk going closer? |
6827 | Suppose it does get dark: there''s such a thing as flying by night, is n''t there? 6827 Suppose my mother wo n''t let me?" |
6827 | Suppose you tell her we''ve got to go and get our boat? 6827 Supposing,"hesitated Dave,"supposing the boat''s grounded on Lost Island itself----""It''s the boat we''re looking for, is n''t it?" |
6827 | That you, Jerry? 6827 Then what you after him for-- if he''s your chum?" |
6827 | They? 6827 Think I''m going to let you go up alone, with a twisted wing that might give out?" |
6827 | To the island? 6827 Tod could help a lot, and I suppose you are one of the dubs, but where are the rest?" |
6827 | Tod----he gasped--"where''s Tod?" |
6827 | Trying to get onto it? 6827 Two hours at a stretch, turn and turn about?" |
6827 | Two men, you say? 6827 Wake me up at twelve, will you, ma?" |
6827 | Want it? |
6827 | Watch the old_ Skyrocket_ till I get back, will you, Jerry? |
6827 | Water sure is filling up, is n''t she? 6827 We could swim, could n''t we?" |
6827 | We- l- l-- Son, can you make a stretcher? |
6827 | Well what? 6827 Well, what I want to know is: How did it get out? |
6827 | Well, what in thunder''s Fulton got in a safe that any robber would want? |
6827 | Well, what''s the idea of our coming over here every night to sleep, when there''s oodles of room there on Lost Island, where we''re needed? 6827 Well, who does?" |
6827 | Well? |
6827 | Were you scared? |
6827 | Wha-- what bucket? |
6827 | What are they made of? 6827 What are you doing, son?" |
6827 | What can we do? |
6827 | What difference does it make to you? 6827 What difference does that make, if they''ve already got the blueprints''?" |
6827 | What do you mean? 6827 What has happened?" |
6827 | What in the world do you mean? |
6827 | What is it, Tod? |
6827 | What is it-- a riot? |
6827 | What is it? 6827 What is it?" |
6827 | What is it? |
6827 | What next? 6827 What was that?" |
6827 | What was the matter with you back there on the island? 6827 What will you say to your conscience when your enemy drops destruction onto your brave countrymen in the trenches from the Fulton Aeroplane? |
6827 | What ye driving at? 6827 What you going to do, Jerry? |
6827 | What''ll it be? |
6827 | What''s all the excitement? |
6827 | What''s eating you? 6827 What''s got into you?" |
6827 | What''s happened? |
6827 | What''s happened? |
6827 | What''s that''huh''? 6827 What''s that?" |
6827 | What''s that? |
6827 | What''s that? |
6827 | What''s the cause of the delay now? |
6827 | What''s the idea? |
6827 | What''s the idea? |
6827 | What''s the matter with you, Dave? |
6827 | What''s the matter, Phil? |
6827 | What''s the meaning of that rumpus out there? |
6827 | What''s the program? |
6827 | What''s the trouble? |
6827 | What? 6827 What?" |
6827 | Where are you-- so I can call you back? |
6827 | Where can you? |
6827 | Where were you, that you knew there were two of us? |
6827 | Where will I find you after breakfast? |
6827 | Where you going to turn in? |
6827 | Where''s dad? |
6827 | Where''s the morning gone to? |
6827 | Where''s your boat? |
6827 | Where-- where''d you learn to do things like that? |
6827 | Who could n''t? |
6827 | Who''s going to help you handle it? 6827 Who''s the best swimmer in the crowd?" |
6827 | Why in thunder did n''t you wake us in time so I could have got a drink? |
6827 | Why locked in, if Mr. Billings had gone to bring your father? 6827 Why not just get into our boat and row over? |
6827 | Why not take her all apart while we''re at it, Jerry? |
6827 | Why not take the boat and go down the middle? |
6827 | Why, Frank Ellery, seventh son of a seventh son? 6827 Why, nothing, Jerry----""Then what you talking about going on home when I''m running down a clew like that?" |
6827 | Will you promise me to come back and let me pick the birdshot out of you after you''ve made a landing on Lost Island? |
6827 | Wing? |
6827 | Wonder what that man was doing on Lost Island? |
6827 | You came alone? |
6827 | You came in the airship? |
6827 | You do n''t mean to tell me that you''re hungry? |
6827 | You mean_ bass_ lake, do n''t you? |
6827 | You remember last week when we were out, and the storm caught us and pretty nearly swamped the boat? 6827 You think he''ll try to patch up the_ Skyrocket?_"asked Jerry. |
6827 | You think_ they_ did it? |
6827 | You waiting for gasoline? |
6827 | You will snore away like six buzz- saws on circus day, huh? |
6827 | You wo n''t mind if I do n''t get back till late? |
6827 | You''re going to swim over, are n''t you, Jerry? 6827 You''re surely not going to make us try to swim it?" |
6827 | You? |
6827 | Your wetting did n''t tame you down any, did it? 6827 _ Dave!_ Dave-- do you remember? |
6827 | _ Where_ is he? 6827 A sin? 6827 Afraid you''d up and rescue yourself? |
6827 | All set now? |
6827 | And an officer''s been looking for you----""Police?" |
6827 | And if you got hold of that boat- seat, for instance, you''d pretty near hang on, would n''t you? |
6827 | And leave the machine here for anybody to come along and study out-- or steal? |
6827 | And why, why had Mr. Fulton laughed at Jerry''s story-- and yet followed his clue in this stealthy way? |
6827 | Anybody got any objections? |
6827 | Are we going to let them?" |
6827 | Are you game to go along?" |
6827 | At last Phil quieted down his dancing mob and put the question Jerry had been awaiting:"How did you do it?" |
6827 | At the same time he was conscious of a disappointed feeling in his heart; why could it not have been the United States that had bought the invention? |
6827 | Boy Scout for sir?" |
6827 | But if they could steal the plans in the meanwhile-- get me?" |
6827 | But suppose somebody just ahead of you made it his business to buy the hundred-- how about that?" |
6827 | But what became of your friend-- if there_ were_ two of you?" |
6827 | But who was the man in the boat? |
6827 | But-- but-- how do you know? |
6827 | Can you blame us for being sore?" |
6827 | Carry my clothes along the bank, will you? |
6827 | Dave, do you mean to tell me you did n''t hear what the man said?" |
6827 | Did he go after a doctor?" |
6827 | Did n''t you hear him say:''Where was young Fulton drowned?''" |
6827 | Did you get the doctor?" |
6827 | Did you see it? |
6827 | Did you think we were going any other way? |
6827 | Do n''t you see? |
6827 | Do n''t you understand? |
6827 | Do you blame us for wanting to lay you out?" |
6827 | First off he''d try to bale her out, would n''t he? |
6827 | For, why should Tod be rescued in this weird fashion? |
6827 | Going along, Dave-- with me?" |
6827 | Harris?" |
6827 | Have you found his-- his body?" |
6827 | He here? |
6827 | He''s a cousin of mine-- why, what''s the matter?" |
6827 | His eyebrows almost met in a frown as he repeated mechanically:"On Lost Island, you say? |
6827 | Hopes? |
6827 | How about it, Jerry?" |
6827 | How are we going to get over?" |
6827 | How do we know?" |
6827 | How far have we gone?" |
6827 | How many times did you fall down?" |
6827 | How''s the knife brigade coming on?" |
6827 | Huh?" |
6827 | Hustle up, Tod-- what you standing there gaping for?" |
6827 | I heard Daisy going on out here like the devil before day-- or was it you two who were pestering her? |
6827 | I laugh like a billygoat, do I? |
6827 | I suppose I could get him, but just what are these Boy Scouts?" |
6827 | In fact, I rather enjoyed your little visit-- though I will admit you scared me a bit when you held the knob of the door to the hangar----""Hangar? |
6827 | Is that a go, Tod?" |
6827 | Is yet, is n''t he, Tod?" |
6827 | It''s a good ten inches from the top-- how full would it have been when she popped up from under the falls at the dam?" |
6827 | It''s about time for the boys to-- listen to those Indians, would you? |
6827 | Jerry repeated, puzzled, to himself:"Left plane-- what in thunder''s that?" |
6827 | Jerry votes for the dam, do n''t you, Jerry?" |
6827 | Jerry yelled, louder this time,"and get her level?" |
6827 | Just outside the ring of light cast by the deserted camp fire, however, Jerry halted and asked:"Thought what you''ll tell_ them?_""Why, no. |
6827 | Me groaning? |
6827 | Never heard of the Boy Scouts?" |
6827 | No? |
6827 | Of-- of Tod?" |
6827 | Remember how you always used to be telling Tod and me to grin hardest when we were getting licked worst?" |
6827 | Ring?" |
6827 | Shall we get your dad?" |
6827 | Shall we go on?" |
6827 | Some scheme, eh?" |
6827 | Suppose there was no one there-- had been no one there? |
6827 | Suppose we could come down in your back lot? |
6827 | Suppose_ they_ are at the house by now?" |
6827 | That friend of yours could n''t very well be on my island without my knowing it, could he?" |
6827 | There are n''t any falls down this way, are there?" |
6827 | There''s at least a mile of bare copper wire about the place-- what you two standing with your mouths wide open for? |
6827 | They were perhaps halfway across when Jerry asked, anxiously, it seemed:"Ca n''t you get any more speed out of her, fellows?" |
6827 | Think you''re going to have the nerve to go up with me, son?" |
6827 | This?" |
6827 | Tod, take a squint at the sun-- five- thirty, is n''t it? |
6827 | Two blooming foreigners trying to steal an airship out of Mr. Fulton''s safe down there in his cellar-- wasn''t that what you said, boys?" |
6827 | Want to hear it? |
6827 | We can tell that chump over there----""Thought you told us good Scouts were always respectful to our elders?" |
6827 | Well, then, Boss Jerry, what''s orders?" |
6827 | What do you think?" |
6827 | What does it all mean?" |
6827 | What good would it do them?" |
6827 | What in tarnation you up to anyhow?" |
6827 | What in thunder''s got into you? |
6827 | What kind of fish can you take in old Roundy after eight o''clock?" |
6827 | What new bug has bitten you?" |
6827 | What say we sneak back, see if there''s a gun at the cabin, and take them by surprise when they start burglarizing the hangar?" |
6827 | What shall we do? |
6827 | What was that thing that just sailed over the house? |
6827 | What you kids doing?" |
6827 | What you mean, fall down? |
6827 | What you trying to hide, you two?" |
6827 | What''d we say if we came back with a bag of pot metal for our money?" |
6827 | What''ll you say?" |
6827 | What''s fishing got to do with it?" |
6827 | What''s next?" |
6827 | What''s orders?" |
6827 | What''s our plan?" |
6827 | What''s that contraption you''re sitting on?" |
6827 | What''s that pinned to your blanket?" |
6827 | What''s that?" |
6827 | What''s the idea? |
6827 | What''s your plan?" |
6827 | When''d your dad get to be an inventor?" |
6827 | Where are we now?" |
6827 | Where are you from, anyhow?" |
6827 | Where away, boatman?" |
6827 | Where do you put it all?" |
6827 | Where in thunder are all those boys?" |
6827 | Where is he?" |
6827 | Where was young Fulton drowned, anyway?" |
6827 | Where''d you get onto it?" |
6827 | Where''ll we land?" |
6827 | Where''ll you try it, below or above? |
6827 | Where''s the nearest farmhouse?" |
6827 | Who is_ she_--and where? |
6827 | Who was the other hero?" |
6827 | Who''s going along with me?" |
6827 | Who''s got a heavy knife with a sharp big blade in it?" |
6827 | Who''s the goat you had in mind?" |
6827 | Why did n''t you invite them into the house, son? |
6827 | Why had the man refused to let Tod''s friends come on the island? |
6827 | Why should n''t he ask that?" |
6827 | Why, Jerry?" |
6827 | Why?" |
6827 | Will you buy the machine and the idea on approval? |
6827 | Will you do this? |
6827 | Will you leave it to me?" |
6827 | Wo n''t you fellows go along with me? |
6827 | Wood?" |
6827 | Would the man never get there? |
6827 | You say you do n''t belong on the island?" |
6827 | You told me you''d let me go camping with the bunch, do n''t you remember? |
6827 | You were n''t_ on_ Lost Island, were you?" |
6827 | You will not be long?" |
6827 | You''ll blow the factory whistle when it''s time to get up, wo n''t you?" |
6827 | cried Mr. Fulton, despair in his voice,"do n''t you see? |
6827 | shouted Phil,"where''s the meat- axe?" |
10954 | A flight? |
10954 | A large red one? |
10954 | After this affecting tableau, is there anything you wish to say to me, hey? |
10954 | Ai n''t tryin''ter fool us, are yer? |
10954 | All is not lost yet, Mortlake, hey, hey, hey? |
10954 | And Jess and Jimsy and----"And that other young fellow? 10954 And a nice, lonely sort of place, too, hey?" |
10954 | And if not? |
10954 | Are n''t you afraid of burglars coming and blowing the door of the safe off? |
10954 | Are n''t you going to ask us in? |
10954 | Are we far from Cape Charles? |
10954 | Are you Miss Margaret Prescott, the girl aviator I have read so much about in the technical publications? |
10954 | Are you going to keep on, Roy? |
10954 | Are you going to tell him, Peggy? |
10954 | Are you going to try for it? |
10954 | But what about the_ Butterfly_? |
10954 | But what are we to do with those two rascals now that we have caught them? |
10954 | But what if, as you fear, the Prescotts have a superior aeroplane? |
10954 | But what''s it all for? |
10954 | But where are the folks who own it? |
10954 | Can I help you fix the machine? |
10954 | Can we do anything to help you? |
10954 | Can we leave a message for you at your shops, or would you like a lift home with us? |
10954 | Can you direct me to Mr. Mortlake''s aeroplane factory? |
10954 | Can you guide us, my boy? |
10954 | Can you read the printing on that sign? |
10954 | Come, are you going to answer? |
10954 | Confound it,he thought,"is this chit of a girl making fun of me?" |
10954 | Did any of those bills have an identifying mark on it? |
10954 | Did you come in an aeroplane, too? |
10954 | Discharged you, eh? 10954 Do I have to answer that question, now?" |
10954 | Do n''t mind if I have a look at it, do you? |
10954 | Do you deny that this was your wallet? |
10954 | Do you mean Mortlake? |
10954 | Do you mean to say that Mortlake is scoundrel enough to plot against her, too? |
10954 | Do you mind getting out? |
10954 | Do you recall the safe being opened while you were in the room? 10954 Do you think I''ve got nothing to do but talk to you fellows all day? |
10954 | Do you think it possible that he is also going to take in that outfit down the road? |
10954 | Do you think that odious boy suspects anything? |
10954 | Do you think we can overhaul her, Roy? |
10954 | From yonder sky,grinned Jimsy, trying, not very successfully, to assume an inanely cheerful tone,"not badly hurt, old man, are you?" |
10954 | Good gracious, Peggy, what are you trying to do? |
10954 | Good heavens, is n''t there any good in the world? |
10954 | Had an accident? |
10954 | Had n''t you better shut down a bit? 10954 Have I? |
10954 | Have you any idea at all as to the direction of the light, Peggy? |
10954 | Have you got der plans? |
10954 | Have you got your course? |
10954 | He is in Hampton-- why? |
10954 | He''s polite about it, is n''t he? |
10954 | Heard the news? |
10954 | Hey, girls, seen a package on the road? |
10954 | Hey? 10954 How did it all happen?" |
10954 | How did you ever come to make such a mistake? |
10954 | How did you hear of it? |
10954 | How far from here is the place where your partner is? |
10954 | How long will that take, do you think? |
10954 | How on earth did you happen to do that, Mortlake? |
10954 | I agree with you,was the dry and rasping reply;"at least, they have put us in possession of one valuable bit of knowledge, hey?" |
10954 | I beg your pardon? |
10954 | I know, Sis, but what possible way have we to prove it? 10954 I suppose you fellows know that you are breaking the law and in danger of imprisonment if you are caught?" |
10954 | I understand that you folks was in this house yesterday afternoon? |
10954 | I wonder if he''ll have the face to brazen it out? |
10954 | I wonder what mischief those young cubs are hatching up now? |
10954 | I wonder who the fourth can be? |
10954 | I-- here, what are you trying to do? 10954 Is n''t it against the rules for women or girls to drive machines in this contest?" |
10954 | Is n''t it? 10954 Is n''t that just like a brother? |
10954 | Is the island inhabited? |
10954 | Is this enough? |
10954 | Is this lieutenant going to stay long in Sandy Beach? |
10954 | Is-- is the baby all right? |
10954 | It''s too bad,repeated Fanning,"but ca n''t I do something?" |
10954 | Let''s see,said Roy thoughtfully,"you''re one of the workmen at the Mortlake plant, are n''t you?" |
10954 | Like to see how that was done? |
10954 | Look here,cried Roy, indignantly wiggling in the officer''s strong grasp,"ca n''t you see that this is all a mistake? |
10954 | Looks rather too warm to be comfortable, does n''t it? |
10954 | Lost Brig Island,echoed Jess in an alarmed tone;"is this an island?" |
10954 | Magnificently handled, do n''t you think so, Mortlake? |
10954 | My dear Peggy,exclaimed Jess, with a smile that showed all her white even teeth,"what will you do next? |
10954 | My dear, little girl,said James Bell,"can you trust me?" |
10954 | No, but no doubt we shall when we reach the farm- house,put in Jess;"is n''t it thrilling, though?" |
10954 | Not in there? |
10954 | Now, what is there that''s familiar about that voice? |
10954 | Oh, do you like it? |
10954 | Oh, so you got the boy, hey? |
10954 | Oh, were n''t they taken aback, though, at the idea? |
10954 | Oh, you did, eh? 10954 Pardon me,"he said,"but is your name Regina?" |
10954 | Pressing her a bit, are n''t you? |
10954 | Queer, is n''t it? |
10954 | Ready? |
10954 | Ready? |
10954 | Really? 10954 Roy Prescott here?" |
10954 | Smart as a steel trap, with teeth that bite and hold, hey, hey, hey? |
10954 | So the government really means to give us an opportunity to show the worth of our machines? |
10954 | So,said Mortlake,"I''m left alone at last, eh? |
10954 | Strong language? |
10954 | Sure? 10954 That message you sent me-- what does it mean?" |
10954 | That would be an easy bill to identify,commented Palmer, uneasily,"wonder if this can be a trap?" |
10954 | The half- hour signal,cried Jimsy;"everything ready?" |
10954 | Then what was it doing in your possession? |
10954 | Then your brother did n''t see the safe opened? |
10954 | There''s nothing serious the matter, is there? |
10954 | They are actually selling stock? |
10954 | They told me----"Oh, come in, wo n''t you? |
10954 | This is a very unfortunate business, hey? |
10954 | To what am I indebted for the pleasure of this visit? |
10954 | We trust you absolutely,said Peggy,"and you''ll trust us?" |
10954 | We understand, guv''ner,he rasped out in a hoarse voice;"Slim, here, and me do n''t take long ter catch on, eh, Slim?" |
10954 | Well, I may have some work for you to do----"Work, guv''ner? 10954 Well, do you want to race then?" |
10954 | Well, this is a nice fix, is n''t it? |
10954 | Well, what do you want me to do about it? |
10954 | Well, what if we did? |
10954 | Well, what is it? |
10954 | Well, what is it? |
10954 | Well, where are those papers, then? |
10954 | Well,growled Mortlake,"what have you got to say to me?" |
10954 | Well,said Mr. Bell, looking round him with a smile,"who says that all the adventure and excitement is in the West?" |
10954 | Well? |
10954 | What are you going to do? |
10954 | What can we do for you? |
10954 | What d''ye think of that, hey, Mortlake? |
10954 | What d''ye think of that? 10954 What did you come for?" |
10954 | What did you read? |
10954 | What do you mean to imply? |
10954 | What do you think, Sis? 10954 What do you think? |
10954 | What do you want me to do? |
10954 | What do you want to do with me? |
10954 | What game of cross- purposes and crooked answers is this? |
10954 | What is all this-- a joke? 10954 What is it, Sis?" |
10954 | What is it? 10954 What make of machine is your car, Fanning?" |
10954 | What name was that you just mentioned? |
10954 | What right have you to demand them? |
10954 | What''s that? 10954 What''s that? |
10954 | What''s the matter, sheriff? |
10954 | What''s the meaning of this rough behavior? |
10954 | What''s up? |
10954 | What, wo n''t even the wonderful equalizer render her safe? |
10954 | What, you here? |
10954 | Whatever was that you used? 10954 Where are you off to?" |
10954 | Where can they be going? |
10954 | Where do you want me to go? |
10954 | Where is the house? 10954 Where?" |
10954 | Which one? |
10954 | Who are they? |
10954 | Who? |
10954 | Why did n''t you say that before? |
10954 | Why not? |
10954 | Why should I? 10954 Why, did they?" |
10954 | Why, if I may ask? |
10954 | Why, what is it? 10954 Why?" |
10954 | Why? |
10954 | Will they report us? |
10954 | Will you be good enough to mail some letters for us? |
10954 | Will you do something for me-- will you aid a miserable outcast to right a great wrong? |
10954 | Wonder where they can be going to? |
10954 | Wot papers might you be lookin''fer? |
10954 | Wots it worth if we tell yer where them papers are, guv''ners both? |
10954 | Yep,was the grunted reply;"and now Mister What''s- Yer- Name, what are you going ter do with us?" |
10954 | Yes,said Peggy,"did n''t you know? |
10954 | Yes,she said;"why?" |
10954 | You ai n''t goin''ter give us up guv''ner? 10954 You are sure this was the place?" |
10954 | You ca n''t scare me by rattling old bones,he said,"What do you know about it?" |
10954 | You do n''t think I''m going to allow Fanning Harding to scare me out of anything, do you? |
10954 | You do not? 10954 You have an aviator attached to your place, then?" |
10954 | You have been in New York, then? |
10954 | You say that they were hanging about Mortlake''s place? |
10954 | You see,she explained,"it would never do for us to reveal all our secrets, would it? |
10954 | You thoroughly understand your instructions now? |
10954 | You''re sure that bill is all right, Joey? |
10954 | After all, why should n''t Mr. Harding and Mortlake be driving to the farm? |
10954 | All agreed that things looked as black against them as could be, but-- where was the proof? |
10954 | All right, ai n''t it?" |
10954 | And in the face of this, do you mean to say that the boy would dare to keep up his apparent negotiations with the United States?" |
10954 | And who do you think is to be his companion?" |
10954 | And yet, what could be Mortlake''s object? |
10954 | Are you willing to let your estimate of young Prescott stand or fall by this meeting?" |
10954 | Bell?" |
10954 | Bradbury know that I''m here?" |
10954 | But I can do the same thing if you''d care to see it?" |
10954 | But Jimsy said suddenly:"If that was the case, why did n''t they try to make out that I stole it?" |
10954 | But Roy struck in with a question:"Was n''t Mr. Mortlake, accompanied by Harding, out here last night?" |
10954 | But do n''t you see what power that gives us?" |
10954 | But what does all this mean? |
10954 | But what does all this mean? |
10954 | But what had become of them? |
10954 | But what under ther sun air you young folks in your fine clothes a- doin''out here?" |
10954 | But what was the_ Golden Butterfly_ doing? |
10954 | But what? |
10954 | But why do you look so distressed, Peggy?" |
10954 | But you do n''t think I''m worrying about your car now, do you?" |
10954 | But, man, what has happened to you? |
10954 | By the way, what time does the first test come off?" |
10954 | Close at hand?" |
10954 | Did n''t I, Slim?" |
10954 | Did n''t you just hand the plans of the aeroplane over to that representative of a foreign government whom Mr. Mortlake is now chasing?" |
10954 | Did you hear any details?" |
10954 | Did you know that for some days past a German spy has been in Sandy Beach?" |
10954 | Do you know him?" |
10954 | Do you mean to try to lie out of it? |
10954 | Do you suppose that Mr. Prescott will be long?" |
10954 | Drop from ther clouds?" |
10954 | Fine young girls, eh? |
10954 | For what object? |
10954 | Foun''suthin''vallerable, hev yer? |
10954 | Got the money?" |
10954 | Have you any clue yet?" |
10954 | Hey, hey, hey?" |
10954 | Hey, what''s all this? |
10954 | Hey?" |
10954 | How about it girls, are you hungry?" |
10954 | Hullo, who''s this?" |
10954 | I can take you to him?" |
10954 | Is n''t that enough?" |
10954 | Is this the Prescott house?" |
10954 | Is your brother badly hurt?" |
10954 | Listen-- who do you suppose has come back to Sandy Beach?" |
10954 | Mortlake?" |
10954 | Mortlake?" |
10954 | Nice products of the twentieth century, hey?" |
10954 | No, not that schooner below there-- I mean that sort of whitish drift-- it looks like cotton-- on the horizon?" |
10954 | Now then-- do you know a man named Mortlake?" |
10954 | Oh, how can I ever thank you?" |
10954 | Or are you afraid to drive mine?" |
10954 | Poor Roy, I wonder how he is getting along?" |
10954 | Prescott?" |
10954 | Regina, have n''t you a word for me? |
10954 | Roy will be as good as ever by to- morrow, wo n''t you boy?" |
10954 | See?" |
10954 | Smart as a steel trap, hey?" |
10954 | So Master Roy Prescott, you were planning to unmask me by that side- comb, were you? |
10954 | So he was keeping that as evidence against me, eh? |
10954 | Strange, is n''t it?" |
10954 | Suppose they mistake us for burglars, and shoot us?" |
10954 | Suppose----Good heavens, what''s that?" |
10954 | That chap who got away wore a gray suit, while yours is a blue serge, is n''t it?" |
10954 | That is, if you girls are n''t scared?" |
10954 | The part of Roy on that eventful night had been played by:"Guess whom?" |
10954 | To be accurate, young Prescott''s-- you know whom I mean?" |
10954 | Was it fancy, or did Roy, for a second, see Mortlake quail and whiten? |
10954 | We was broke, and----""And so you thought you''d replenish your pockets by holding up some automobilist or traveller, eh? |
10954 | Well, what was the nature of that employment?" |
10954 | Well, what''s that got to do with me?" |
10954 | Well, would n''t that jar you?" |
10954 | What about that pocket tool kit I had when I started out on the auto? |
10954 | What are you doing here?" |
10954 | What could be coming now? |
10954 | What d''ye mean by that, hey? |
10954 | What d''ye mean by that?" |
10954 | What do you know about this?" |
10954 | What do you mean?" |
10954 | What do you want?" |
10954 | What does all this mean?" |
10954 | What is it?" |
10954 | What more do you want?" |
10954 | What of him? |
10954 | What on earth do I know about it?" |
10954 | What time is that naval lieutenant coming to look over the Prescott aeroplane, Peggy?" |
10954 | What was that the crowd were shouting? |
10954 | What''s all this?" |
10954 | Where is such an aeroplane?" |
10954 | Who can be coming now?" |
10954 | Who could the two pretty girls in natty motor bonnets, with goggles attached, the plain, heavy skirts and dark shirt- waists be? |
10954 | Who ever saw a barn with skylights on it?" |
10954 | Who was in the parlor beside yourself when Mr. Galloway opened the wall safe to reward the men who had helped him extinguish the fire?" |
10954 | Who''s to know we have the money? |
10954 | Who, then?" |
10954 | Who?" |
10954 | Why ca n''t we get a doctor? |
10954 | Why did you go into the manufacture of aerial machines, if you did n''t mean to stick it out?" |
10954 | Why do n''t you call the police?" |
10954 | Why do n''t you get somebody else to do it?" |
10954 | Why had Regina been so mortified, and apparently alarmed, when she had announced the loss of one of her side- combs? |
10954 | Will you go?" |
10954 | Will you meet him? |
10954 | Wo n''t you forgive me for deceiving you about your father all these years?" |
10954 | Wo n''t you have a straw hat-- I mean a seat?" |
10954 | Wonder where they can be going?" |
10954 | You agree with me, do n''t you?" |
10954 | You came here with him?" |
10954 | You can see we''re not flying, ca n''t you?" |
10954 | You thoroughly understand, now, to- morrow night on the road to Galloway''s farm?" |
10954 | You wo n''t mind accompanying me then, while I oversee the workmen?" |
10954 | Your brother was not there?" |
10954 | asked Peggy boldly enough, despite her inward terror;"you had better go on at once, or----""Waal, or what?" |
10954 | cried Mortlake, while old Mr. Harding spluttered:"Eh, eh? |
10954 | exclaimed Peggy, as a sudden thought struck her,"suppose there should be trapdoors?" |
10954 | he cried as his eyes fell on the trio,"whar under ther sun did you come from? |
10954 | murmured Roy, smiling pluckily, as the Bancrofts came toward him with pitying looks,"but where in the world did you come from?" |
10954 | shouted Mortlake, uselessly as he knew,"what''s the matter with you?" |
10954 | shrilled Regina, who had now joined the group,"you do n''t surely mean to insinuate? |
10954 | the man nodded his head in the direction in which Fanning and Regina had vanished,"did they come in a Mortlake aeroplane?" |
10954 | whistled the boy,"a new conquest for the irresistible Fanning, eh?" |
10954 | you did not drop it?" |
