9069Ah, when shall this be?
9069Amid these controversies, where was the truth?
9069Among whom did the Apostolic tradition dwell?
9069And besides, in this resolution to exclude, what becomes of the great principle of Charity?
9069And even supposing one might save them, retain an ever- uncertain enjoyment of them, was the life of the time really worth the trouble of living?
9069And even supposing they were, can the fault of a single man be charged to the whole Church?...
9069And even supposing, that in spite of all efforts to save it, the Empire is condemned, must we therefore despair?
9069And his reason, which knows him well, answers:"Do you not then love your friends?"
9069And then, what tragedy more stirring and painful than the crisis of soul and conscience which tore his life?
9069And was not the Gospel ideal essentially more human than that of the pagan philosophers?
9069And why this horror of meat?
9069Are the old Saturn and the young Apollo so much the property of the poets that we do not see their statues too in the temples?..."
9069Are they comfortable for listening?
9069Are we to see in Donatism a nationalist or separatist movement directed against the Roman occupation?
9069Augustin, breathless in the victorious embrace of Grace, panted:"How long, how long?...
9069Boniface was quite capable of answering:"What are you interfering for?
9069But can a humble and contrite heart thus take pleasure in human adulation?
9069But may not this prohibition provoke husbands to kill their adulterous wives, so as to be free to take a new wife?
9069But suddenly she shuddered, raised herself, and asked in a bewildered way:"Where was I?"
9069But what matters that, when the continual miracle of his charity and his apostolate is considered?
9069By dint of gazing at this, and listening to the praises of the great local author, did the young scholar become aware of his vocation?
9069Can it surprise, then, if men so ignorant of high morality, and so deeply embedded in matter, were also plunged in the grossest superstitions?
9069Could he leave his mother, his son, his brother, and his cousins?
9069Could he manage to silence them at once?
9069Did Augustin remember these things?
9069Did Monnica observe anything of this change in Augustin?
9069Did he wish to hint that at this time Augustin had glided into paganism?
9069Did it grieve him very much to make up his mind to this exile?
9069Did the mother of Adeodatus justify such attachment-- an attachment which was to last more than ten years?
9069Did you not hear?
9069Do not all agree that this is the highest stage of philosophy?
9069Do they not follow some secret law?..."
9069Does not the sleeper wake?
9069Does this mean that he found there rich pavements, mosaics, and statues?
9069For example: If a man cast off his wife under pretext of adultery, might he marry again?
9069For what is it that I would say, O Lord my God, save that I know not whence I came hither into this dying life, shall I call it, or living death?...
9069For what sing these poets even to weariness, unless it be that no one can resist the Cyprian goddess, that life has no other end but love?
9069For whence, think you, do we implore God to drag us, so that we may be converted and gaze upon His face?
9069For, in fact, to whom had he been entrusted?
9069Give what?
9069Had Augustin a hand in this reconciliation?
9069Had Patricius ever seen the girl that he was going to take, according to custom, so as to have a child- bearer and housewife?
9069Had not Christ said:"Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world"?
9069Had that not been the proud desire of his youth?
9069Has your ear betrayed you, or did you want to find out if I was still capable of judging these things?"...
9069He said to himself:"Why desire the impossible?
9069He seized Alypius roughly by the arm and cried out to him in extraordinary excitement:"What are we about?
9069Henceforth, would he be allowed to live a little less as a bishop and a little more as a monk?
9069How came it that he was taken in by Boniface?
9069How can I hesitate after that to call myself your disciple?"
9069How could an African woman, so much attached to her country, agree to be buried in a stranger soil?
9069How could he control himself till then?
9069How could he part with them?
9069How did Augustin ever believe in the goodwill and good faith of this adventurer full of coarse passions, so far as to put his final hopes in him?
9069How did Boniface take a letter which was, in the circumstances, so courageous?
9069How did Monnica become the wife of Patricius?
9069How did the poor creature who had been faithful to him during so many years feel at this ignominious dismissal?
9069How was he to keep up his studies without the sums coming from his father?
9069How was it possible to doubt that the entire revelation was contained in such beautiful books?
9069How was it possible to exhort a victorious general to lay down his arms before the conquered?
9069How was it that he who had always had such feeble health undertook at this age the long journey from Hippo to Cæsarea?
9069How, indeed, could Augustin consent to take him from her?
9069If he loved birds, as a poet who knows not that he is a poet, did he love as well to play at"nuts"?
9069If it were otherwise, what was the good of the Redemption?
9069If you were beaten there, why do you come here now?
9069Immediately he put this question:"Why do those pauses come in the flow of the stream?
9069Is he not an adulterer in the eyes of the Church?
9069Is it forbidden to eat the meats consecrated to idols, even when a man or woman is dying of hunger?
9069Is it not from that jakes of the senses wherein our souls are plunged, and from that darkness of which the error is around us?..."
9069Is it wonderful that the Christian lessons of Monnica and the nurses at Thagaste became more and more blurred in Augustin''s mind?
9069Is not her song, so harmonious, so suave, so well attuned to the season, the very voice of the spring?..."
9069Is not the thought of bringing Him disciples enough to make us joyful?
9069It is now that he wrote:"Tell me, does not the nightingale seem to you to modulate her voice delightfully?
9069Just how far had Augustin dipped into them?
9069May adultery be practised with a woman who promises in exchange to point out heretics?...
9069May one enter into agreements with native camel- drivers and carriers who swear by their gods to keep the bargain?
9069Might not his passions, which were so violent, begin to torment him again after this respite with greater frenzy than before his conversion?
9069Need I name them to you?
9069Now, how did it come about that this monstrous loot took on before the eyes of contemporaries the magnitude of a world- catastrophe?
9069Now, why was this?
9069Or did he lodge with his master, a grammarian, who kept a boarding- house for the boys?
9069Or would not rather the struggle continue in the depths of his conscience?
9069Pertinax himself, did he not begin as a simple teacher of grammar, and become Proconsul of Africa and then Emperor of Rome?
9069Shall it not be, O my God, when we rise again among the dead...?"
9069Shall we be no more with you, for ever?
9069Shall we be no more with you, for ever?
9069Should not these priests, then, in the very interest of the Church, save themselves for quieter times, and escape the persecution by flight?
9069So what am I doing here?"
9069Suppose he tried to submit to that, to bring the faith of his childhood into line with his ambitions as a young man of intellect?
9069Then we turned to each other shuddering, and asked:''How much longer can this last?''..."
9069Then what was left to do since truth was unapproachable?
9069Then why do you baptize the Catholics under the pretence that their priests are_ traditors_ and as such unworthy to administer the Sacraments?
9069Then why should I blush to give you a place among us?
9069This unheard- of grace-- would it be granted to him?
9069To reign in a little corner of the world-- did Christ die for that?
9069To whom did he not write?...
9069To- morrow and to- morrow?...
9069Was Augustin, who still thought of becoming an official, going to mix in with this lot of swindlers, assassins, and brute beasts?
9069Was Aurelius his family name?
9069Was he at last to have a chance to rest himself, with the only rest suitable to a soul like his, in a steady meditation and study of the Scriptures?
9069Was he going to bury all that in a little town?
9069Was he going to do as the Emperor-- remain in the circus taken up with idle pleasures, while others took the road to the sole happiness?
9069Was it a nursery- rhyme that the little children of the countryside used to sing?
9069Was it indeed the country bishop, or rather the rhetorician Augustin who, in a burst of gratitude, hit upon this sublime sentence?
9069Was it not possible to reconcile them?
9069Was it possible?...
9069Was it really the end of the world, or only the end of a world?...
9069Was it that he lacked the gift of teaching?
9069Was not this as much as to say that the others belonged to the dissenters?
9069Was she pretty, rich, or poor?
9069Was this a good time to make a noisy profession of faith, to be enrolled among the ranks of the conquered party?
9069Was this the reason that he dealt softly with the native tribes, so as to make certain of their help in case of a conflict with the Imperial army?
9069Well, might not the same thing happen if some soldier were to ask you to dinner and obliged you to drink more than is wise?
9069What advantage was there in being Christian if they had the same treatment as the idolaters?
9069What could be Monnica''s feelings towards a woman who was not even a daughter- in- law and was regarded by her as an intruder?
9069What counts a woman before Rome and Carthage?
9069What else?
9069What greater destiny?
9069What matters that, if even in this excess he aims solely at the welfare of souls-- to edify them and set them aglow with the fire of his charity?
9069What more could they have wanted?
9069What must have been the parting between the child Adeodatus and his mother?
9069What was all that to the prize of wisdom?
9069What was going to become of him in the great, unknown city?
9069What was he going to do?
9069What was he to do?
9069What was not related about the abominations committed in the mysteries of those people?
9069What was the good of keeping up a useless and dangerous resistance?
9069What was the use of giving up the illusory realities of the senses, if it were not to get hold of more_ solid_ realities?
9069What was there to do against brutal strength?
9069What was this refrain?
9069What was to prevent his taking his son and going off?
9069What''s the use?
9069What, in fact, was the most celebrated rhetorician compared to a bishop-- protector of cities, counsellor of emperors, representative of God on earth?
9069What, indeed, was he seeking, unless it were to capture this"blessed life"which he had pursued so long?
9069What, then, would become of evangelic truth if in such a place the Apostle had lied?
9069When a grammarian talked thus, what could have been the thoughts of agricultural labourers, city workmen, and slaves?
9069When shall I appear before His face?"
9069When shall I be as the swallow?
9069When shall I cease to be silent?...
9069Where to place it?
9069Whither lift it up?
9069Who was this friend?
9069Who, then, were these terrible Donatists whom we have been continually striking against since the beginning of this history?
9069Why do not the dying make it their heir?
9069Why does the whiteness of lettuce proclaim to them the Divinity, and the whiteness of cream nothing at all?
9069Why not now?
9069Why not this hour make an end of my vileness?..."
9069Why should he thus put off his return to Africa, he who was so anxious to fly the world?
9069Why?
9069Without him, what was going to become of her?
9069Would he have to go back home?
9069Yes, I say, what are we about?
9069You allow me to pass two summers-- and two African summers!--in such thirst?...
9069_ Non erimus tecum ultra in aeternum?_..."What a dismal sound in these syllables, and how terrifying for a timid soul!
9069is this man, all bloody with a murder in his conscience, to walk about for eight days in white robes as a model of innocence and purity?"
9069was Catholicism to become an African religion, a restricted sect, wretchedly tied to the letter of tradition, to the exterior practices of worship?
59084Ah, my fine fellow, how do English pigs like punishment parades in this weather?
59084Ah,said the captain to me,"was it not well that you struggled on?"
59084Ah; and how in self- defence?
59084And Giulia,--I took her in my arms and kissed her,--"do you not understand?
59084And beauty and money, what will they not tempt men to do?
59084And for a week?
59084And only hospital; word of honour?
59084And the commandant will promote you sergeant to- morrow?
59084And where, my dear Marie, did you learn all this?
59084Are you armed?
59084Are you pleased?
59084But can we not find a hiding- place-- some place that nobody could find even in broad daylight?
59084But how do you know,asked a commandant one day,"that the dead men were paid in full?"
59084But only to hospital?
59084But suppose you are ordered to take them and to set them in order yourself?
59084But the Foreign Legion could not be always in Algeria, on the borders of the desert?
59084But there were French soldiers also there, were there not?
59084But there were three wounds; is it not so?
59084But was there not a good chance of promotion in the Legion?
59084But why?
59084Can you not go to the United States,I asked,"and make a new home there?"
59084Can you not guess?
59084Can you not speak?
59084Can you not,I suggested,"take it to the woman in whose quarters you live?"
59084Certainly not,I replied;"why should I kill him when there are so many others who have more grievances than I?
59084Certainly yes,he replied;"we did well in the rehearsal, may we not hope to do even better now?"
59084Did I not help to bring many wounded there to- day?
59084Did he tell you anything?
59084Do you know, corporal,said he,"where it is?"
59084Do you think that I have nothing to do except to listen to complaints against you?
59084Does he come to tell me that I have been appointed his aide- de- camp?
59084Does it taste well?
59084Everything goes well, is it not?
59084Good comrade; but will anything happen?
59084Had he much money?
59084Have I not pledged my honour?
59084Have you been well treated here, sergeant- major?
59084How do you explain the third wound?
59084How much,_ mon vieux_, for all in this hole?
59084How much?
59084How often?
59084I do not mind that; in the English army one has to go to India and South Africa, so what matter?
59084I must be good, Giulia?
59084I trust you, Jean,she answered;"will you not trust me?"
59084I will take care of that,said Giulia;"will you tell your companies?"
59084I?
59084If I can not take my own, why yours?
59084Is it nice?
59084Is it not good?
59084Is she alone?
59084Is there anything to be done?
59084Is there anything you want?
59084It is settled, my comrade; only the hospital?
59084May I go to help?
59084Not much,I answered:"but where are the others?"
59084Not this?
59084Not this?
59084Nothing?
59084Of whom are you thinking?
59084Oh, nothing, nothing,I replied;"what can happen?
59084Oh, that will never be mentioned; why should the scoundrel talk of that?
59084Oh, who the devil knows and who the devil cares?
59084Only to hospital?
59084Surely not your honour?
59084Take care, my comrade, you will get into more trouble, and are not things bad enough with you already?
59084That might be possible; but, Mademoiselle Julie, how could I forget you?
59084Then it was my fault too?
59084Then why are you here almost every day?
59084Then will you tell me how much I ought to have for the entertainment of my company?
59084To hospital?
59084True,continued the Italian;"but then why did you not give us notice that you were taking all for yourself and your companions?"
59084Very good, very good; somebody must be sergeant, I suppose, and why not you as well as another? 59084 Very good; but surely not to all?
59084Very good; but why did you buy up all the drink in the two cabarets? 59084 Very well,"I answered;"but always when we are alone?"
59084Very well,said the captain;"but how will you throw the work on their shoulders?"
59084Well, my comrade, what do you wish to say?
59084Well,asked the corporal,"shall we go straight on at top speed or rest?"
59084What are you doing here? 59084 What do you say, my friend?"
59084What happened to you, mon camarade?
59084What indeed?
59084What indeed?
59084What is it?
59084What is wrong?
59084What''s wrong?
59084When and where were you born?
59084Where did you get it?
59084Where is he?
59084Where is she?
59084Who is chiefly with you, Nicholas?
59084Who is there?
59084Why did you not tell us before?
59084Why do you ask that?
59084Why do you tell me that, Giulia?
59084Why, why?
59084Why,he questioned the Russian( I may mention that all through he ignored the rest of us),"why did you not spend the money with all?"
59084Why? 59084 Yes, yes; have you any tobacco?"
59084You are now a legionary; surely you will do as your good comrades do?
59084You are sorry?
59084You captured a flag, you say?
59084You have been here often, very often-- too often; is it not so?
59084You have bought the Jew''s stuff too, my boy?
59084You the sergeant- major?
59084You will never offend me again?
59084You would like to stay here with me?
590844 Company the really aggrieved ones?
590844; but what will you?
590844?
59084After all, is it not bad enough for an officer to punish a man or to get him punishment?
59084After awhile the captain said:"Who was Nicholas?
59084After some time he said:"How old are you?"
59084Ah, Mademoiselle Giulia,"he went on,"what excuse can your lover make now?"
59084And I am the sole survivor-- but why should I anticipate?
59084And as the man departs he is suddenly ordered to halt and face right- about, and then asked:"Who promoted you sergeant?"
59084And what about the allied armies in China of late?
59084And you, you will forgive?"
59084And you?"
59084As I passed the scoundrels used to say:"Sergeant M----, is he married?
59084As for the Cooloolie girl-- well, what would you expect?
59084As soon, therefore, as other white troops could be sent to our camp we should pack and march-- the question was, whither?
59084At last he spoke:"Will mademoiselle kindly go away and permit me to speak alone to the soldier?"
59084Besides, did I not say that I trust you?"
59084But how could I, the one chiefly addressed, say all that?
59084But in the desert what were we to do?
59084But, it will be asked, were there no leaders in the affair?
59084But, my son, what was it about; did he insult you?"
59084But, one may object, how negociate such a billet in such a place?
59084But, one will say, why not transact the business without troubling me?
59084But, you will say, why not use the Turcos?
59084Did he still hold the idea of asking France to give him the sanctified legionaries as a new army?
59084Did that lead to the quarrel?"
59084Do I blame them?
59084Do you not remember Three Fountains?"
59084Has Madame M---- a friend at her house?"
59084He came to me, and said:"I want it, my sergeant- major; will you give it me?"
59084He looked me up and down, and said:"How old?"
59084He paused a little, still keeping his eyes on me, and then, slightly lifting his eyelids, asked:"Seventeen?"
59084He said:"Is it all right?"
59084He smiled, and said:"Was it not good practice for war?
59084How can I do so and trust?"
59084How could we hit men above us whom we could not see?
59084How do I know that he was shot in the back?
59084How do you like the sergeant- major of the canteen?"
59084How long have you been in the Legion?"
59084How much, I ask you, for the hut, the drink, the tobacco, the glasses, the tables and forms, and all the rest of your property?"
59084How old are you?"
59084I cried,"you to stay here alone, beautiful and with money?"
59084I had to do as I did; I surely could not allow any man to misconduct himself here?"
59084I suppose a musician would call a bugle march monotonous; well, it may be so, but how many men out of 200 are musicians?
59084I was not allowed to reply; she put a pretty finger on my lips, and said:"Yes, I know you trust me; why say to me what I know?"
59084If he ascribes a defeat to this, may not people fairly ascribe his victories to good luck, and that alone?
59084If they did not, would our provisions hold out?
59084If we went to Rome, should we have to soldier with the Swiss and other guards?
59084Imagine asking a man who has made a slight mistake in making out the orders of the day:"Can you read and write?"
59084Is he not a rascal?"
59084Is it not so, dearest?"
59084Is it not so?"
59084Is it not so?"
59084It is not pleasant to see so many brave soldiers without arms in such a region; who knows when the Kabyles will attack?"
59084It was quickly opened, and through the raised window we heard the words:"Is Mademoiselle Julie within?"
59084Mac said he could not do less than try to rescue me,--"il est mon pays, n''est ce pas?"
59084No artillery, of course; but who wants artillery when he has enough of rifles?
59084Oh, my friend, why did you not tell me yesterday?"
59084One will ask: Why did not the cavalry return our fire?
59084People will say: Oh, but you were once sergeant- major, and why did not you command rather than the corporal?
59084Second, somebody had to be close to Giulia in every fight, for reasons that may be guessed-- and who had a better right to be at her side than I?
59084Shall we not have even an apology?
59084She hesitated a little, and then answered:"And you too, you will be a good comrade, will you not, Jean?"
59084She looked, calmly enough now, at me, and said:"Did I not tell you yesterday that I trusted you?"
59084She smiled back, as it were triumphantly, and replied:"Why not?"
59084Should we be able to fight our way through, in case the post had to be abandoned?
59084Simple philosophy, was n''t it?
59084That night, when Mac called me for my turn of guard, he said:"Did you notice how queer the corporal was to- day?"
59084The commandant knows that no man is given more than he can safely bear, and what is the use of being strict in such a place as this?"
59084The draft has gone and he remains; there will be no new draft for months, and what hope is left now?
59084The hard plank was nothing, I was used to that; the death of the adjutant was nothing in itself, for had he not deserved it?
59084The sergeant''s wife was a good woman and deserved a better fate than that which was her lot afterwards; but then, what will you?
59084Then he asked:"And you, young one, what will you do?"
59084There was no scrambling or pushing; in spite of the excitement every man waited good- humouredly for his turn, for was there not enough for all?
59084There was not room for all in the huts, but the barrels were quickly rolled out and broached with due care, for who would spill good liquor?
59084They were Christians-- by repute at least; but what were they in reality?
59084They were quite aware of this; in fact, they were in difficulties now, for the question arose for them: How were they to get back to the cantonment?
59084Turning sharp round he said with a merry smile, which ended in a short, quick laugh:"Oh, my friend, he is eighteen; he says so, and who knows better?
59084Very soon, therefore, he learned my purpose, and a conversation ensued, somewhat as follows:--"You are English; is it not so?"
59084Was he not a clever captain?
59084Was it not better than all the drill in the world?"
59084What can you say against the political refugees from Russia?"
59084What do you want?"
59084What is it?"
59084What is the good, I often thought, of cleaning equipments when I shall be abused just as much as if they were really dirty?
59084What language did we speak?
59084What legionary, what man, indeed, would, when pressed by so lovely a girl?
59084What made you look so pale that day?"
59084What matters it whether I am idle or hardworking when I get the same reward every time?
59084What was he?"
59084What was the good of life since I had lost my love?
59084What was the next thing to do?
59084When the party on the right came within long range Mac called out:"Am I to fire, corporal?"
59084Where is the use of springing smartly at the word of command when I shall be called a lazy rascal and a stupid fool?
59084Who is in charge at the hut?"
59084Who would take the money?
59084Why are you not with your squad?
59084Why did you not leave some in one of them for us?"
59084Why do n''t the people whose business and interest it is to get the best out of the private soldier give the private soldier a chance?
59084Why have you come here?"
59084Why should I be told that I had insulted her whom I would not pain for all the world?
59084Why should a general talk of"rank bad luck"?
59084Why should he swear at the poor devil and abuse him as if he had no spirit, no sense of shame, no soul?
59084Why, then, should others interfere with him?
59084Why, we asked one another, should Schmidt openly abandon us and our genial company for a man who should by right be good comrade with others?
59084Why?
59084Will not Mademoiselle Julie give us a glass of wine, so that we may clink our glasses together?"
59084Will you now consent to give up one chevron and become sergeant?
59084With a more desperate and better sustained attack upon more exhausted troops, might not the Chinese fairly hope for complete success?
59084Would our comrades come soon?
59084Would you destroy the enthusiasm of a volunteer by doubting his word?
59084Yet they are not cowards; if they are, why did they not run like the Black Flags?
59084You were at Three Fountains; is it not so?"
59084a surprise for me?
59084all?"
59084is there an attack?"
59084there were sixteen yesterday,"so he says; he thinks: How long until I have only fourteen, and who will be the next man to quit_ la gamelle_?
59084they are different; they----"I stopped him again, and said:"And what can you say against a political refugee from Ireland?"
59084what did I say last night?"
59084you do not forget-- perhaps you will never forget-- and then, what is the good of being forgiven?"
21751''Phatically, too?
21751A prisoner?--a slave?
21751An'', Samson, will you trust_ him_?
21751An''Youssef-- what ob him?
21751An''you wo n''t cry?
21751And am I to be always dumb-- never to speak at all?
21751And what if I refuse to pledge my word for the sake of such freedom?
21751And what if he had done so?
21751And what is your plan?
21751And who are_ you_, that orders me as if I were a dog?
21751And why do you act so, Peter?
21751And your father?
21751And, do you know the danger you run if found conversing with me?
21751Are we going to make another search for poor Mr Sommers?
21751But do you really mean to tell me, Peter, that Ben- Ahmed intended me and Hugh Sommers to escape?
21751But how can I save him?
21751But how can we ever get to England in a small boat like this?
21751But we are both getting on very well, Sally, are we not? 21751 But what is your preparation?
21751But what,he asked,"what security has Ben- Ahmed that you wo n''t be as false to him as you recommend me to be?"
21751But why leave me here at all?
21751But why your anxiety if the whole matter is under safe guidance?
21751But wo n''t he be taken by surprise, Sally?
21751But you are English, are you not?
21751By the way, Sally, what is it that you keep pounding so constantly in that-- that hole off the front room?
21751By whose orders?
21751Can you do gardenin'', you feller?
21751Can you not stop that noise?
21751D''you s''pose dem raskils don''know a real kick from a sham one? 21751 D''you speak English?"
21751De matter wid me? 21751 Deaf, too, I suppose?"
21751Dear H--- ah-- Miss Sommers, I mean, I felt sure that-- that-- this_ must_ be your room-- no, what''s its name? 21751 Did I not often tell you,"muttered Hugh Sommers,"that your unguarded tongue would bring you to grief?"
21751Did Miss Sommers say that I was not to hear the message?
21751Did n''t I say I was_''bleeged_ to do it?
21751Did n''t I tell you I''s de greatest hyperkrite as ever was born?
21751Did n''t you say he was awrful t''in?
21751Did you marry Angelica?
21751Did you not once save the life of the Dey?
21751Did you t''ink ob tellin''him all dat?
21751Do Englishmen blush and stammer when they tell the truth? 21751 Do n''t you see de janissary?
21751Do you forgive me, Hester?
21751Do you know that I am an officer in the Navy of his Majesty the King of Great Britain?
21751Do you know where she hides?
21751Do you pound much?
21751Do you think anything has happened, then?
21751Do?
21751Does it take you long to do this sort of thing?
21751Does painting give Englishmen colds?
21751Eben zough I_ is_ a` fool?''
21751For what purpose?
21751Geo''ge Foster?
21751Go whar?
21751Has n''t I got eyes an''ears?
21751Have you not just shown me that I am utterly helpless? 21751 Have you not understood me?"
21751Have you, then, been long here?
21751Have you, then, forsaken the faith of Mohammed and adopted that of Christ?
21751How could I know, Peter, for you never call her anything but` cook?'' 21751 How is it that every one lets you pass so easily?"
21751How kin I speak, Geo''ge, w''en I''s a''most busted wid runnin''out here to tell you?
21751How you do, Missis Lilly? 21751 How?
21751How? 21751 Hurt him not,"he said, raising his hand;"is not this his first offence?"
21751I hope that all has gone well?
21751I s''pose, sir, you have n''t a notion what sort o''plans that nigger has got in his head?
21751I suppose you would say, sir, that unless it is done by me it wo n''t be done at all?
21751If, instead of misery, you had been placed during the last twelve years in supreme felicity, would you have believed in a God?
21751In what attitude do you wish to be painted?
21751Indeed,said the middy, with a weary sigh;"what may your news be?"
21751Indeed; how so?
21751Indeed? 21751 Is Laronde better this morning?"
21751Is Miss Sommers safe?
21751Is all right?
21751Is he dead?
21751Is that all?
21751Is the cellar far from this?
21751Is this one dumb too?
21751Is this true, Brown? 21751 Is this your return for my forbearance?
21751Is your business a secret?
21751May n''t I finish this operation first?
21751No, indeed, I am sure you are not; but-- but, you-- you wo n''t betray me, Sally?
21751No-- not great danger, I hope?
21751Nor heard of or from him?
21751Not in de house?
21751Now, Dinah,said he, continuing an earnest conversation which had already lasted for some time,"you understand de case properly-- eh?"
21751Now, Geo''ge, what you t''ink ob all dat?
21751Now, den, sar,( to Foster),"w''en you goin''to move you stumps?
21751Of course I know that, but_ how_ did she escape over the wall?
21751Paradise, Peter? 21751 Pardon me, friend, whoever you are,"he said quickly,"I did not mean to-- I did not know-- are you badly hurt?"
21751Security, Massa? 21751 So-- he was an Englishman that I treated so badly, eh?"
21751Tell me,he said,"what is your father like?"
21751That does indeed mound strange,returned Foster;"how has such a wonderful event been brought about?"
21751Then she refused to go with you?
21751Then why did n''t you tell me all, this before, and save me from a deal of uncertainty?
21751There''s no fear of your friends going off without you, I suppose?
21751Thin? 21751 W''ich am him?
21751W''y not? 21751 Was it all fair an''above- board, Geo''ge, to kiss dat leetle gal when she was all alone and unpurtected?
21751Was the slabe white or black?
21751Well, den, is n''t dat''cause he not hab''nuff to eat? 21751 Well, when are we to go up?"
21751Whas dat?
21751What are you saying there?
21751What d''ye t''ink ob dis one?
21751What do you mean, Peter?
21751What is that, Peter?
21751What is that?
21751What kep''you so long, Geo''ge?
21751What say you, Laronde?
21751What you bin do all dis time?
21751What you say to dat feller? 21751 What''s wrong now?"
21751What''s wrong, Peter?
21751What_ can_ I do?
21751When must I do it?
21751Where did you make inquiries, George?
21751Where is he? 21751 Where''s the other one?"
21751Where-- oh, where?
21751Who are you, and where do you come from?
21751Who are you? 21751 Who''n all de wurld''s Eddard Larongd?"
21751Why not take me to your own home?
21751Why not?
21751Why''s dat, Geo''ge?
21751Why, Sally, dear, what''s the matter with you?
21751Why, then, do you hesitate?
21751Why? 21751 Wich is it you mean, massa, dis one?"
21751Will you have some more?
21751Would it not be well to keep Brown here till Ben- Ahmed returns?
21751Yes, Dinah,said Hester, alarmed, notwithstanding, by the earnestness and solemnity of her new friend,"what am I to do?"
21751Yes; has Foster had no hand in the matter?
21751You are the British sailor,he said,"who rescued Hes-- Miss Sommers from the janissaries?"
21751You call dis a skitch? 21751 You know something about this English girl?"
21751You knows how to get to it?
21751You not know Geo''ge?
21751You wo n''t tell upon me? 21751 You''member dat pictur''ob de coffee- house in de town what you doo''d?"
21751_ Did_ I say` dumb?''
21751` Is_ he_ all safe, Angelica,''says I--`massa, I mean?'' 21751 ` Very true, your highness,''I replied,` but may I beg you to make an example of some other slaves, and forgive Sommers?''
21751` Why do you take so much interest in this man?'' 21751 Ai n''t dat jolly?
21751Another grain would bust up the hatches; but if I might ventur''to putt forth a wish now, a glass o''--no?
21751Are you sure?"
21751Besides, do you t''ink I''d forsake my Angelica an''leabe her to feed alone downstairs, w''ile her husband was a- gorgin''of his- self above?
21751But can you guess, Peter, why Ben- Ahmed behaved in the strange way he has done?
21751But fust, let me ax-- you understan''de place among de rocks whar Brown''s mates and de boat am hidden?"
21751But how shall we manage it?
21751But how''s your poo''feet?"
21751But let me ask, my friend, what will you do if you discover that she_ is_ your Hester?"
21751But now tell me, Angelica, if my fortin''s made, will you marry me, an''help to spend it?''
21751But now, what''s dis you bin do here?
21751But tell me, Angelica, who brought me here?''
21751But what about her father?
21751But what could human muscle and human will, however powerful, do against a rampant nor''wester?
21751But what if I do resist in spite of being whacked?"
21751But what''s you got in de ceiling-- de sun, eh?"
21751But who is Geo''ge?"
21751But, if I mistake not, you are not unwilling to risk that?"
21751But, now,"continued the poor little creature, while the troubled look returned to her eyebrows,"what_ is_ to be done?"
21751But, tell me, are you really one of the crew of this pirate vessel?"
21751Ca n''t you hold your tongue, you chatterin''monkey?"
21751Ca n''t you see that if Hester''s father is a Bagnio slave there is no chance of her having found refuge with him?"
21751Ca n''t you speak English?"
21751Can you guess, I ask, Ben- Ahmed''s motive for acting so oddly?"
21751Das de on''y way I kin--""Is that all you had to tell me?"
21751Das so, Peter?"
21751Das you, Peter de Great?"
21751Dat was him, was n''t it, wid de broad shoulders an''de nice face-- a leetle wild- like, p''r''aps, but no wonder-- an''de grey beard?"
21751Dee see dat?"
21751Di''n''t I tell you before dat hub am eberyt''ing?"
21751Did the middy, after all, marry Hester,_ alias_ Geo''giana Sommers?
21751Did you cook it?"
21751Did you know my father before meeting him here; and did he really render you some service?"
21751Do I look like a gardener?
21751Do tell me, and how I can help you, for we may be interrupted?"
21751Do you know where the English girl hides?"
21751Do you t''ink you''ll deliber your fadder from de Moors by feedin''him on biscuits an''_ hope_?
21751Does you t''ink Sally''s an ass?"
21751Don''you know it''s her as cooks all our wittles?"
21751Going humbly towards this Arab, the negro asked him in Lingua Franca if there was anything unusual going on in the town?
21751H.S?
21751Hab you nebber seen a handsome nigger before dat you look all t''under- struck of a heap?
21751Hab you neber seen slabes before?
21751Has anything happened?"
21751Has you got enuff?"
21751He even added some amazing motions of the lips which were meant to convey--"What''s the matter with you?"
21751He rose and returned to his easel while the gazelle trotted to its cushion and lay down-- to sleep?
21751His knowledge of Spanish was about equal to that of an ill- trained parrot, but what of that?
21751How came you to know that?"
21751How can I escape, Peter, now that I have given my word of honour not to try?"
21751How could it be otherwise with such an experience-- and such a wife?
21751How could that do him any good?"
21751How kin you speak so well if you''s dumb?"
21751How''s that?
21751How''s that?
21751I did not know you were here-- else-- my veil-- but why should_ I_ mind such customs?
21751I is n''t wuth killin'', an''w''en I''s gone, who''d cook for you like me?
21751I-- I-- am_ very_ wicked, Sally, will you forgive me?"
21751If she is taken are you willing to fight?"
21751If the Moor should again succumb to the demands of nature-- or the influence of tobacco-- how could he best make use of the opportunity?
21751Indeed I''s kite sure dat none ob de neighbours knows not''ing at all about dis Is-- Es-- w''at you call her?
21751Is Hester safe?"
21751Is he not, then, your husband?"
21751Is it-- can it be Platonic love?
21751Is it-- de-- de fortin?''
21751Is n''t dat security enough?"
21751Is n''t that sinful?"
21751Is she here also?"
21751Is there anything the matter with you?"
21751Is there no means of preventing her coming this way to- morrow?"
21751Is there not a vast difference here?"
21751Is you widin?"
21751My father''s name is Hugh Sommers--""And yours?"
21751Neptune, what do_ you_ want here?"
21751No doubt it''s a roundabout way, but what ob dat?
21751Not''ing done since I was here more an hour past-- eh, sar?"
21751Nothing more, I suppose, is known about his fate?"
21751Now you tell me that this girl was black-- a negress?"
21751Peter, what are you doing?
21751Tell on you?
21751That is a letter from Minnie, is it not?"
21751Then she looked suddenly at Peter the Great, and said--"Das mus''be de lady you was tole me about, Peter,--Ister-- Hister-- w''at you call''er?"
21751Then turning suddenly on Foster with a fierce expression, he shouted,"What you lookin''at, you babby- faced ijit?
21751Was he not a Briton, whose chief characteristic is to go in for anything and stick at nothing?
21751Was it all fair an''above- board to call her you dear_ chile_, as if you was her fadder?"
21751Was you eber whacked on de sole ob your foots?"
21751Well, what de way to get fat an''strong?
21751What business hab you to come here widout washin''your white face clean?"
21751What could this mean?
21751What den?
21751What do I care for her father, you fool?"
21751What do you mean?"
21751What do you mean?"
21751What has happened?"
21751What has he to do with it?"
21751What is it?"
21751What is we to do about poo''Hester''s fadder w''en he''s pardoned?
21751What then?
21751What will you do?"
21751What''s de end ob all dis to come to?
21751Where have we got to?"
21751Who and where is your father?
21751Why d''you keep me in such anxiety?
21751Why do n''t you trust God all through?"
21751Why do they do that?"
21751Why do they go to so much expense in such a place as this?"
21751Why do you ask?
21751Why should you be anxious?"
21751Why-- why could you not have waited just one minute to let me look at him?"
21751Will you be down soon?"
21751Will you come out a momint?
21751Will you now refuse me this man''s life?''
21751With my father''s permission, I suppose?"
21751Wo n''t the guards see us doing it?"
21751Would n''t it be a good plan for you to go into town at once and make inquiry?"
21751Would you oblige me by putting your foot on that centipede?
21751You are an Englishman, I think?"
21751You do n''t want to appear too friendly?
21751You know de Kasba?"
21751You know what a Radical is, I suppose?"
21751You see de bit ob wall dat''s damaged dere?
21751You understand, Geo''ge?"
21751You want de horses, eh?"
21751You wo n''t tell on me,_ dear_ Sally-- won''t you not?"
21751Your name?"
21751Yours?"
21751_ What_ did you hear?"
21751` You wo n''t tell, will you?''
21751answered her husband for her,"you do n''t suppose de wife ob Peter de Great would let Geo''ge Foster go away widout comin''to de boat to see him off?"
21751cried Hester, drying her eyes somewhat impatiently;"how_ could_ you be so cruel?
21751demanded Hester, with a slight touch of indignation;"could you not have suffered a little whipping for my sake?"
21751do n''t I know all that?
21751exclaimed Hester, in quite a frightened tone;"how did you find that out?"
21751exclaimed the latter, in stern tones, as they came up,"what you bin about, sar?
21751exclaimed the negro,"what you bin up to-- makin''picturs?"
21751he exclaimed fiercely,"did you hear me speak?
21751he exclaimed, glancing from the girl to her sire,"what mystery have we here?
21751he exclaimed;"how are you and Angelica to get on shore?"
21751how''s you all git along down dar?"
21751love a man whom you have described to me as the most obstinate fellow you ever knew?"
21751repeated the Frenchman, who was the first to recover from his astonishment,"are we not still slaves?"
21751says I;` wass de matter?''
21751she cried, thrusting Hester quickly down into the coffee- hole;"how you s''pose massa git his dollars if you not work?
21751she said, seizing the middy''s hand, and kissing it,"how shall I_ ever_ thank you?"
21751what shall I do?"
21751what you bin doin''?
21751where did you come from?
21751wo n''t you?"
21751you know what dat means if it found out?"
21751you not know what de Kasba am?
21751you wo n''t come to me?"
19108Ach men sebba jit lhena, ia Sidi?--Why have you come here, sir?
19108And he''s never been found out?
19108And her promise that she''d take you away with her?
19108And if there''s a conspiracy of silence in Algiers, why not elsewhere?
19108And my sister?
19108And the message was that she was leaving your hotel?
19108And thou, Si Maïeddine, dost thou think, truly, that a black angel walks ever at thy left side?
19108And wilt thou lead in the right way? 19108 And you, Monsieur?"
19108Anything new?
19108Are n''t you thankful, Saidee? 19108 Are you better?"
19108Are you better?
19108Are you engaged to each other?
19108Are you going to faint? 19108 Are you going to tell me the marriage was n''t a success?"
19108Art thou impatient for the end?
19108Art thou not very wet and miserable?
19108Art thou strong enough for a journey, Lella M''Barka?
19108Art thou tired already of this new way of travelling, that thou askest me a question thou hast not once asked since we started?
19108Aunt Caroline''s rather a dear, is n''t she?
19108Because he defended the honour of our grandfather, and upheld his own rights, when Mr. Lorenzi came to England to dispute them?
19108But I think thou didst not send for me to ask these questions?
19108But about the scandal that drove Ben Halim away?
19108But could n''t you have stopped in your sitting- room-- I suppose you have one-- and let me see you there? 19108 But has Maïeddine any idea that you care about each other?"
19108But how can you see, unless you know something about me already?
19108But if thou shouldst not teach her?
19108But if you know he has n''t?
19108But is not that the same thing as giving life?
19108But my sister?
19108But oh, by the way-- Hamish has got a letter for you-- or is it Angus? 19108 But that old friend you spoke of, who wanted to upset the will?
19108But there''s no use pretending, is there? 19108 But why ca n''t I bribe him?"
19108But why should they lie?
19108But you find now it could?
19108But you-- aren''t you Arab?
19108But, since thou hast my word to be silent, surely thou wilt tell me where lies the end of the journey we must take?
19108But-- would they have begun to work again, if soldiers were coming?
19108But-- you are glad-- now I''m here?
19108By instinct, you mean-- telepathy, or something of that sort?
19108Ca n''t we tell, the first thing, that we''ve come from Algiers with a present for the bride?
19108Ca n''t we?
19108Ca n''t you find your servant?
19108Ca n''t you here?
19108Ca n''t you tell us how to find it?
19108Can motors go farther?
19108Can you forgive me?
19108Can you tell us of the scandal, or-- would you rather not talk of the subject?
19108Canst thou tell me nothing of her, Lella M''Barka?
19108Darest thou to tell me that thou lovest a man?
19108Did I surprise you?
19108Did n''t I say that an Arab never trusts a woman? 19108 Did n''t I tell you I''d rather listen to you than anything else?
19108Did n''t you believe it?
19108Did n''t you know?
19108Did she keep to her own religion?
19108Did she say when she would be back?
19108Did she tell you her name?
19108Did the marabout appoint Toudja as the place to make the exchange, or was it you?
19108Did you guess why I was sorry?
19108Did you know anybody in New York?
19108Did you never hear the name of any town that was near?
19108Did you see that fellow in the red cloak?
19108Did-- the marabout seem bent on making this bordj the rendezvous?
19108Didst thou ever hear the name of Cassim ben Halim?
19108Do Arab men always succeed as teachers?
19108Do children of the present day still go down the rabbit hole?
19108Do n''t you mean to stop?
19108Do n''t you now?
19108Do you ever see any here?
19108Do you know him?
19108Do you know who Cassim-- as you call him-- is?
19108Do you lack a Roc''s egg for yours?
19108Do you really like it all?
19108Do you really mean, when you say we--_we_ shall be happy poor, that you''ll marry me in spite of all?
19108Do you remember if she spoke of a sister?
19108Do you see more clearly, now that at last you''ve come to Africa?
19108Do you think so? 19108 Do you think they''re from the Zaouïa?"
19108Do you think you can persuade him to keep a still tongue in his head till it suits us to have him speak, or write a letter for me to take?
19108Do you wonder now,Nevill asked,"that it''s difficult to find out what goes on in an Arab''s household?"
19108Does Nevill see or hear?
19108Does the marabout who has the gift of Baraka live near the place where I must go to find my sister?
19108Does_ she_ know that there will be three weeks or more of travelling?
19108Dost thou love Si Maïeddine?
19108Dost thou need to tell me that?
19108Dost thou not guess, he runs many dangers in guiding thee to the wife of a man who is as one dead? 19108 Dost thou not love Si Maïeddine?"
19108Dost thou really believe such a thing?
19108Dost thou think it odd? 19108 Everything of yours, too?"
19108Good Heavens, why?
19108Good heavens, what is he going to do with that?
19108Has Sidi Bou- Medine the power to cure all sorrows?
19108Has she been gone long?
19108Hast thou spoken of it to him?
19108Have I frightened you? 19108 Have I kept you waiting long?"
19108Have n''t you?
19108Have you a special reason for asking?
19108Have you given up hope, in your heart?
19108Have you had tea?
19108Have your people engaged the cab already,he wanted to know,"or are they waiting in this room for you?"
19108Her French nose?
19108How about getting a chill?
19108How am I to explain-- to beg her forgiveness?
19108How can I help you?
19108How can he revenge himself? 19108 How could it come to you?"
19108How did you manage it?
19108How did you persuade him to that point of view?
19108How do you do?
19108How long before they can break through?
19108How many days now,she asked suddenly,"will the journey last?"
19108I mean, I wonder if any one in Algiers ever saw her at all? 19108 I suppose I''m too superstitious, but I ca n''t help wondering if his choice had anything to do with the ruined tower?
19108I suppose Mrs. Ray managed to keep most of poor father''s money?
19108I suppose they''ve horses and meharis waiting for them outside the bordj?
19108I suppose you think I''m doing wrong to write to him?
19108I wonder if there''s to be a signal?
19108I wonder if you''ll still feel so when you''ve married a man of another race-- as I have?
19108I wonder----"What? 19108 I wonder?"
19108I''m not an actress, so I ca n''t imagine what you mean-- unless you suppose I''ve made a great fortune in a few months?
19108I-- miserable?
19108I-- who am privileged to feast upon the deglet nour, in my desert?
19108I? 19108 If I could, I----""What, dearest?"
19108If I did not use that word, did I not give thee to understand the same thing?
19108If I had told thee then, that it must be longer, wouldst thou have come with me? 19108 If I were n''t going, would you start to- day?"
19108If I_ could_ get you away, would you give him up-- until you were free to go to him without spoiling both your lives?
19108If she were merely going there to inquire about her sister, why should she have to make a mystery of her movements?
19108In Algiers?
19108In South Africa?
19108In a cab?
19108In case of an attack?
19108Is he at home?
19108Is it an Arab''s house?
19108Is it disloyal to love?
19108Is it late? 19108 Is it like what you expected?"
19108Is it possible that his wife lies beside him?
19108Is it what you thought it would be?
19108Is n''t that what people say who preach New Thought, or whatever they call it?
19108Is she happy?
19108Is there any one thing in this world you want above everything else?
19108Is there such a thing as Arab society?
19108Is there then one of thine own people whom thou lovest as a lover, Rose of the West?
19108Is this the one?
19108It is a truce between us?
19108It is certain, then, that Ben Halim is dead?
19108La Sidi, el Caïd?
19108Legs, where are you?
19108Let all that alone, wo n''t you?
19108Let''s_ both_ remember that-- eh?
19108Like sheep, they might follow a leader; but where is the leader? 19108 May I dance for you to that music, Lella Alonda?"
19108May I talk to you for a little while this afternoon?
19108Must we go back to Algiers, or can we get to Bou- Saada from here?
19108Must you go?
19108My men and my friend''s men? 19108 Not as a lover, oh Roumia?"
19108Now, what sort of reception will they give us? 19108 Oh, Saidee, how can I?"
19108Only, what can I do? 19108 Saidee-- he would never have murdered you?"
19108Seeing an old friend does n''t count, then?
19108Shall I really? 19108 Shall we send a note to her hotel, or shall we stroll down after dinner?"
19108She had left here before six o''clock last evening, had n''t she?
19108She let you know eventually that she''d made up her mind to go altogether?
19108She ought n''t to have much trouble getting on to his trail, should you think?
19108She''s coming back immediately?
19108She''s like a dark sister of Notre Dame de la Garde, who watches over Marseilles, is n''t she? 19108 She''s poor?"
19108So Paris wo n''t be a new experience to you?
19108So that''s what you told him?
19108So you think we''ve made a long journey for nothing, Mademoiselle Josette?
19108Sure you could n''t mistake it? 19108 Surely you can remember where you went, and how you went, on leaving the farmhouse?"
19108Ta''rafi el- a''riya?--Do you speak Arabic?
19108That he shut her up?
19108That means you''ll give me back your confidence, does n''t it?
19108The boy?
19108The deglet nour?
19108The motion of thy beast gives thee no discomfort?
19108The rest?
19108The thing is, what would make you happy?
19108Then do you mind so dreadfully having people know you''ve asked me to marry you, and that I''ve said''yes''?
19108Then perhaps no one ever knew, out here, that the man had brought home a foreign wife?
19108There is no mystery about her? 19108 Thou canst rest in thy bassour?"
19108Thou dost not mean that she''s shut up, and no man allowed to see her?
19108Thou hast not forgotten thy promise of silence?
19108Thou hast travelled much, even more than the marabout himself, hast thou not?
19108Thou knowest we have the same word for horse and citadel in Arabic? 19108 Thou meanest, the secret about Cassim, my sister''s husband?"
19108Thou wert happy alone?
19108Thou wilt let me go back to M''Barka?
19108Thou wouldst not, then, that the desert speak to thee with its tongue of sand out of the wisdom of all ages?
19108To help you-- in Algiers?
19108Was it a plot against the French?
19108Was there any other lady in that house,Nevill ventured,"or was yours the master''s only wife?"
19108We''d better stop to- day, anyhow, on the chance; do n''t you think so, Stephen? 19108 Well?"
19108Were n''t you drawn into any of our little ways in London?
19108What a pity Knight did n''t see it in that light-- what?
19108What about the Arabs?
19108What about your teachers? 19108 What ails thee?"
19108What are you going to do?
19108What can I do for you?
19108What can it be to them?
19108What can it matter so long as he does yield?
19108What can it mean?
19108What canst thou do?
19108What canst thou know, which I do not know already?
19108What did she say?
19108What did you tell Miss Ray?
19108What didst thou see?
19108What do you mean?
19108What do you mean?
19108What do you think, Wings?
19108What does he say?
19108What dost thou mean?
19108What good will it do you-- or us-- that he is coming?
19108What happened when you got to your journey''s end?
19108What harm can happen to me?
19108What have you decided to do?
19108What if he does? 19108 What if our men are all killed,"Saidee whispered, as the girl stole back to her,"and nobody''s left to defend us?
19108What if they''re behind the barricade, watching?
19108What incentive have I to be true to Cassim?
19108What is the golden silence like?
19108What is the matter?
19108What is the one thing?
19108What is there to notice?
19108What shall we do?
19108What then?
19108What thing?
19108What wilt thou do if I say I will not be thy wife?
19108What would it matter, if it were to the end of the world?
19108What wouldst thou have me do?
19108What''s going to happen now?
19108What''s the matter? 19108 What, you came here by El Aghouat and Ghardaia?"
19108What-- is there no more?
19108What-- that angel_ jealous_? 19108 When can you start?"
19108When did you find out about-- about all this?
19108When do you want to sail?
19108Where are the Arabs?
19108Where are the others?
19108Where can everybody be?
19108Where did it go? 19108 Where does he come from?"
19108Where is he going? 19108 Where is she?"
19108Whereabouts was this farmhouse?
19108Which is he, fool or hero?
19108Which star is it?
19108Which way are they flying?
19108Who can have sent them to my house?
19108Who can tell? 19108 Who he is?"
19108Who knows if an answer came?
19108Who knows if they_ were_ his rights, or my father''s? 19108 Who was the cruel master?"
19108Who?
19108Why cruel, oh Roumia? 19108 Why do n''t you suggest fainting in coils?
19108Why do they not blow us up?
19108Why do you say''poor?''
19108Why does n''t some one come in and steal?
19108Why not indeed? 19108 Why not, if we''ve found out all we can from this girl?"
19108Why not?
19108Why should n''t I keep these few days unspoiled by thoughts of what''s to come, since they''re the only happy days I shall ever have?
19108Why should n''t you write to say you''re safe? 19108 Why should the marabout care what I do?"
19108Why shouldst thou consider me, whom thou hast known but a few days, when thou wouldst be hurrying on towards thy sister Saïda? 19108 Why shouldst thou wish to help me?
19108Why this last month?
19108Why, do you think the case is hopeless?
19108Why, what have you got to do?
19108Why, you flinty- hearted reprobate?
19108Why,explained Stephen,"when a young and successful actress makes up her mind to leave the stage, what is the usual reason?"
19108Why?
19108Why?
19108Will it be ten minutes?
19108Will you invite me to dine at your table?
19108Will you lend the mirror to me-- or do you value it too much to risk having it smashed?
19108Will you let me lend you a rug?
19108Will you tell him and my father what your business is with Mouni?
19108Wilt thou sit down?
19108Wilt thou tell me now to what place we are going? 19108 Wilt thou visit thy room now, or wilt thou remain with me until Fafann and Hsina bring thy evening meal?
19108Wo n''t you wait until after Mr. Caird has come, and you can tell about the little boy?
19108Would n''t they spread out, and hope to surprise us?
19108Would n''t you come into bed?
19108Would the time immediately after dinner suit Mademoiselle, for Si Maïeddine to pay his respects?
19108Would they come like that, if they wanted to fight?
19108Would you like to be married in Canada?
19108Would you like to come outside the gate and look?
19108Would you mind-- telling me how soon?
19108Would you recognize them?
19108Wouldst thou take me if-- if I love another man?
19108You are sure?
19108You care-- a little-- what becomes of me?
19108You danced for them?
19108You have rooms already taken at an hotel, I hope?
19108You mean, dear, you would n''t have let me move? 19108 You mean-- Cassim?"
19108You mean-- I look old-- haggard?
19108You really mean it?
19108You see?
19108You think, then, he would have shut her up?
19108You will come?
19108You''ll go to sleep, wo n''t you?--or would you rather talk-- while you''re eating, perhaps?
19108You''ll wire me from the end of the world, wo n''t you?
19108You''re not-- pulling my leg?
19108You''ve heard?
19108You''ve never heard from your sister since then?
19108You''ve telegraphed to Tlemcen that Nevill is ill?
19108Your star protected you?
19108*******"What if it''s only a trap?"
19108*******"Why is it that he lets me go, without even trying to make me swear never to tell what I know?"
19108A wheel- like thing, set with jewels?"
19108Am I right?"
19108And by the way, if there are telegrams-- you know I told the servants to send them on from home-- shall I wire them on to Oued Tolga?"
19108And can it be that my prop will fail me at the last moment?"
19108And for thyself, wouldst thou know what awaits thee in the future?"
19108And oh, Stephen, you wo n''t change your mind while I''m gone?
19108And perhaps you noticed the rifles her''leddyship''provided them with at Touggourt?"
19108And she?
19108And what do you say to our surprise,--the twins?
19108Are n''t they splendid?
19108Are there many Arab villages there, and is it true that the King was deposed when the Sultan, the head of our faith, lost his throne?"
19108Are they still standing outside the gates, watching the boy and his caravan?"
19108Are you happier?"
19108Are you so weak as to believe, just because you''re hurt and suffering, that such messages between hearts mean nothing?
19108As he had a wife living when he married you, and has taken another since, surely you can not consider that you are bound by the law of God or man?
19108At last, the only question left in his mind was,"When?"
19108But I suppose you have n''t any fad of that kind, eh?"
19108But at last she said, in a whisper, as if her lips were dry:"Did you know I was sorry you''d come?"
19108But do n''t you think I should have_ known_ if Saidee were dead?"
19108But how do you mean?"
19108But in the circumstances, why be conspicuous?
19108But now-- now----""Are things better?
19108But now-- what are we to do?
19108But since no one else knows, why should the secret leak out?
19108But surely you were n''t miserable from the very first, with-- with Cassim?"
19108But what''s the use of talking about it?
19108But would he forgive her for writing to him?
19108But would the Agha yield to his influence?
19108But-- but----""But what?
19108But-- do you mean-- have you married again?"
19108But-- may I tell?"
19108Ca n''t you see it?"
19108Can I go out into the air-- not where the orange blossoms are?"
19108Can she get on without them?"
19108Could an Arab be_ very_ rich?"
19108Could he have found out in any way, that you were acquainted with Maïeddine?"
19108Could it be possible that Mademoiselle Soubise, interested in the story, had called and taken the girl away?
19108Could it be that she had never called in spirit to her sister?
19108Could n''t he have done anything?"
19108Did n''t you know I''d come when I could?"
19108Did n''t your brother wire for you the minute he saw that announcement in_ The Morning Post_, day before yesterday?"
19108Did they never find you out?"
19108Did this Arab art perhaps more truly express the fervour of faith which needs no extraneous elaborations, because it has no doubts?
19108Did you find out that?"
19108Did you get any news of her?"
19108Did you like it?"
19108Did you notice a queer brooch that held his cloak together?
19108Did you see them go?"
19108Didst thou ever hear of her?"
19108Do n''t they mean to receive me, when we''re married?"
19108Do n''t you hear shots?"
19108Do n''t you see, now that you''re here, there are a hundred more reasons why I must say''yes''to Captain Sabine?"
19108Do n''t you think so?"
19108Do you feel it?
19108Do you know many people in Algeria, or Tunisia?"
19108Do you mean you will be-- if you ever get away from this place?"
19108Do you remember the beads Miss Ray bought of Miss Soubise, and wore to your house?"
19108Do you see why she wo n''t marry me?
19108Do you think_ she_ would like me to see her now?"
19108Do you wonder I worshipped her-- that I just_ could n''t_ let her go out of my life forever?"
19108Does Maïeddine know about him?"
19108Does n''t it sound agonizing-- desperate?
19108Does not this prove my good faith?
19108Does that plan of mine fit in with yours, Monsieur?"
19108Does the child speak French?"
19108Dost thou consent?
19108Dost thou mean to- day?"
19108Dost thou understand?"
19108Dost thou wish to ruin him who risks his whole future to content thee?"
19108Dost thou, Roumia?"
19108Else, why do the men of the M''Zab country break their hearts to dig deep wells?
19108Even if thou couldst reach M''Barka, of what use to grasp her dress and cry to her for help against me?
19108Even you, a child like you, must see that?"
19108For thy sentimental folly wilt thou sacrifice thy people''s future and ruin my son and me?"
19108Had he just seen a sign?
19108Hast thou not seen men spitting to the left, to show despite of their black angels?
19108Have n''t you, in yours?"
19108Have the Arabs all gone?"
19108Have you not heard of him, Monsieur Nevill?
19108Have you thought of something?"
19108Have you told him there are things here as wonderful as in the Alhambra itself, things made by the Moors who were in Granada?"
19108He does n''t seem to notice us, but who knows?
19108He knows that already, unless----""Unless what?
19108How can I let him go away without a word?
19108How could any one have got into your rooms without our seeing them pass through the garden?"
19108How do you do, Mr. Knight?
19108How much less didst thou trust me?"
19108How much of this was lies and how much truth?
19108How should you?
19108How they do it, who can tell?
19108I do n''t think there''ll be any harm in our not trying to forget, do you?"
19108I hope to goodness----""What?"
19108I love being in gardens, do n''t you?
19108I should n''t dare send the pigeon now, for fear----""For fear of what?"
19108I suppose he''s a sort of watch- dog, who could n''t be persuaded to leave the boy alone a minute?"
19108I used to be quite a good sort of girl; but what can you expect after ten years shut up in a Mussulman harem?
19108I''d been signalling----""From the broken tower?"
19108I''m not dreaming you?"
19108I-- how are you going to get away again?"
19108I----""A thought about my dancing?"
19108I----""You heard in Algiers that Cassim had died in Constantinople?"
19108I_ thought_ myself married, but was I, when he had a wife already?
19108If I give thee thy desire, wilt thou not forget, when it is already thine?"
19108If Si Maïeddine wore it in Algiers, and Mr. Knight saw----""Would he be likely to recognize it, do you think?"
19108If you knew I were being tortured, and you could save me by marrying Maïeddine, what would you do?"
19108Is it likely he''ll let you and me go free to tell secrets that would ruin him and his hopes for ever?"
19108Is it only our imagination-- a reaction after strain, or is it that a presentiment of something to happen hangs over us?"
19108Is it some kind of henna grown in thy country, which dyes it that beautiful colour?"
19108Is it wise to use her as an argument?"
19108Is n''t that the best way?"
19108Is the woman ready to take her?"
19108Is there any other way out?"
19108It makes one put two and two together, does it not?"
19108It''s just as if they''d passed on word, the way chupatties are passed on in India, eh?
19108Miss Lorenzi was in the Palm Court, and would Mr. Knight please come to her there?
19108Nevill exclaimed, heartily,"What news?"
19108Now do you begin to understand the mystery?"
19108Now he asked Victoria if she would like him to make inquiries about Ben Halim''s past as a Spahi?
19108Now, do you still say I ought to consider myself married to Cassim, and refuse to take any happiness if I can get it?"
19108Now, do you think there''s any harm in a girl of my age being alone in a hotel?
19108Oh, darling, do n''t be angry, will you?
19108Only if you''re not afraid of things, they ca n''t hurt you, can they?"
19108Or is it the women they are after?"
19108Or she may have found out about Mouni in some other way, and have gone to see her in Grand Kabylia-- who knows?"
19108Otherwise, what was the good of him to her?
19108Perhaps I ought n''t to have listened, but why not?"
19108Reason is only to depend on in scientific sorts of things, is n''t it?
19108Saidee-- did you think of me sometimes, when you were standing here on this roof?"
19108Shall I come to you about half- past five?"
19108Shall I stop, or go on?"
19108Since the girl seemed glad to see him, why should n''t he be glad to see her?
19108Soldiers, certainly: but were they from the north or south?
19108Stephen the First was a martyr too, was n''t he?
19108Stephen waited with outward patience, though a loud voice seemed crying in his ears,"What will happen next?
19108Surely it was?"
19108Surely our marriage would n''t be considered legal in any country outside Islam, would it?
19108That woman I thought I cared for-- may I tell you what she was like?
19108That''s what you wish, too, is n''t it, Saidee?"
19108The chance is given thee----""What then?"
19108The tension increased as the day went on; still, no one had said to another,"What is there so strange about to- day?
19108Then why did Si Maïeddine bring you by El Aghouat and Ghardaia-- especially when his cousin''s an invalid?
19108Then, at last, the girl said:"Will you tell me something about this man?"
19108There was only one_ femme de chambre_, but what would you?
19108This poor girl loves you?"
19108Thou hast concealed nothing which concerns Saidee?"
19108Thou wilt of course pay thine own respects to the Governor?
19108Thou wishest above all things to see thy sister?"
19108Was it he who put into thine head these ridiculous notions concerning a dead man?
19108Was n''t that enough?"
19108Was this the house of her father?
19108Was this to be a reprieve?
19108Weird, is n''t it?
19108Were n''t you comfortable with Mrs. Middleton?
19108Were n''t you?
19108Were you-- does she expect to be married soon?"
19108What am I to do for my dinner, and ladies in the bordj for the first time?
19108What can you expect of a girl who had an Italian prima donna for a grandmother?
19108What could Si Maïeddine''s reason have been?
19108What could it matter whether such a radiantly happy being were young or old?
19108What do you hear?"
19108What do you say?"
19108What do you say?"
19108What effect had that on him?"
19108What else can I do?"
19108What had become of Ben Halim''s American wife?
19108What if I ride to one of the black tents, and ask for water to wash the mouth of my horse?
19108What if already Si Maïeddine was bringing her to Saidee?
19108What if he is killed?"
19108What if this were the high white place?
19108What power has he to do that?"
19108What shall I do?
19108What waited for her behind that door?
19108What was happening up there on the hill, behind the gates which stood half open?
19108What was it?"
19108What was she, then, if not happy?
19108What was the use of making herself wretched?
19108What was your manager thinking about?"
19108What were a few days more, after so many years?
19108What were those lines of Christina Rossetti''s I used to say over to myself at first, while it still seemed worth while to revolt?
19108What will the end be-- success, or a sudden fluke that will mean failure?"
19108What would she do-- his Rose of the West?
19108What would you have more?"
19108What you want, I begin to see, is to get him out of the way, so that Monsieur Caird could induce the little Mohammed to go away willingly?"
19108When wilt thou start?"
19108Where could she, who had no other friends than they, and no chaperon, go at night?
19108Which among our horrid Eastern foods do you hate least?"
19108White Rose, where art thou?
19108Who could tell?
19108Who could tell?
19108Why do you look horrified?"
19108Why dost thou wish to frighten me now?"
19108Why had he not mentioned in the evening that the young lady had driven away with luggage?
19108Why is n''t he afraid to let us go, without any assurances?"
19108Why not?"
19108Why should he mind?
19108Why should he put himself out?
19108Why should not Saidee be curious to hear the end part first, and go back gradually?
19108Why, what else could you expect, when you come to look at it?"
19108Will it be half an hour?"
19108Will you come down to the cellar to look at it?"
19108Will you give me the mirror?"
19108Will you go and see what the creature wants?"
19108Will you talk to me again-- and let me talk to you?"
19108Will you tell me what you wished?"
19108Will you tell the man to go to 278A Rue Washington, and the other cab to follow?"
19108Wilt thou be angry or pleased if I sing thee a love- song of the desert?"
19108Wilt thou do that, for his sake, and for mine?"
19108Wilt thou give me thy word, O White Rose of another land, that thou wilt keep thine own counsel?"
19108Wilt thou hold thyself free of engagements with thy European friends, until I bring news?"
19108Wilt thou that she exercise it for thee to- night, when we camp?"
19108Wings, do you think you could work up the boy to a wild desire for a tour in a motor- car?"
19108With a lady?
19108Would Monsieur care to visit the mosque again, and would he drink coffee?
19108Would any lawyer, or even clergyman, say it was a legal marriage?"
19108Would he help her, and save her life?
19108Would he send them away?
19108Would his face wear such an expression as Nevill''s wore at this moment?
19108Would she like to see Djenan el Hadj?
19108Would she see Saidee, after all these years of separation?
19108Would she turn from him, if he broke the tacit compact of loyal friendship which had made her trust him as a guide?
19108Would they be permitted to speak with her, and give this little watch from Algiers?
19108Would you like to start now?"
19108Would you say that was enough to_ bribe_ a person, if necessary?
19108Wouldst thou hold a dead girl in thine arms?"
19108XXXII"Dost thou wish me to hate thee, Si Maïeddine?"
19108Yet what would you?
19108Yet who has seen the book of the writing?
19108You are sure of what they really were?"
19108You can at least tell that?"
19108You knew I would come some day, did n''t you?"
19108You know I''m giving a dinner to- morrow night to a few people?"
19108You must anyhow suspect there''s a secret?"
19108You understand, do n''t you?"
19108You would n''t have me separate you from him, would you?"
19108You''re sure you wo n''t let your brother and that cruel Duchess talk you over?
19108You''re sure?"
19108You''ve spared me the trouble of taking her advice----""What was it?"
19108You-- you do n''t think I''m somebody else pretending to be Victoria, do you?
19108_ She_ does n''t approve, her sister says, you see----""Who knows the man better, his wife or the girl?"
19108and then, if there''s no news of her when we get back to Algiers, go on to interview the bride in Grand Kabylia?"
19108does that please you?"
3296Is that it?
3296No,they say;"What then?
3296What ails us?
3296What then? 3296 What then?"
3296What will ye say then, O ye gainsayers? 3296 What?"
3296Where art thou now, my tongue? 3296 are they to be esteemed righteous who had many wives at once, and did kill men, and sacrifice living creatures?"
3296is God bounded by a bodily shape, and has hairs and nails?
3296that it was idly said, and without meaning?
3296( for to such creatures, is this food due;) what is it that feeds thee?
3296A man hath murdered another; why?
3296Again, if he asked had I rather be such as he was, or what I then was?
3296Am I not then myself, O Lord my God?
3296Am I then doubtful of myself in this matter?
3296Ambition, what seeks it, but honours and glory?
3296Ambrose has no leisure; we have no leisure to read; where shall we find even the books?
3296And I am admonished,"Truly the things of God knoweth no one, but the Spirit of God: how then do we also know, what things are given us of God?"
3296And I said,"Is Truth therefore nothing because it is not diffused through space finite or infinite?"
3296And I said,"Lord, is not this Thy Scripture true, since Thou art true, and being Truth, hast set it forth?
3296And I turned myself unto myself, and said to myself,"Who art thou?"
3296And doth not a soul, sighing after such fictions, commit fornication against Thee, trust in things unreal, and feed the wind?
3296And from Thee, O Lord, unto whose eyes the abyss of man''s conscience is naked, what could be hidden in me though I would not confess it?
3296And how have they injured Thee?
3296And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself?
3296And how shall I find Thee, if I remember Thee not?
3296And if any should ask me,"How knowest thou?"
3296And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man''s, who shall give you that which is your own?
3296And is this the innocence of boyhood?
3296And is, then one part of Thee greater, another less?
3296And she smiled on me with a persuasive mockery, as would she say,"Canst not thou what these youths, what these maidens can?
3296And that very long one do I measure as present, seeing I measure it not till it be ended?
3296And the prophet cries out, How long, slow of heart?
3296And then mark how he excites himself to lust as by celestial authority:"And what God?
3296And this changeableness, what is it?
3296And to what end?
3296And to what purpose?
3296And what can be unlooked- for by Thee, Who knowest all things?
3296And what could I so ill endure, or, when I detected it, upbraided I so fiercely, as that I was doing to others?
3296And what had I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy?
3296And what have we, that we have not received of Thee?
3296And what is it to have silence there, but to have no sound there?
3296And what is like unto Thy Word, our Lord, who endureth in Himself without becoming old, and maketh all things new?
3296And what is this?
3296And what man can teach man to understand this?
3296And what more monstrous than to affirm things to become better by losing all their good?
3296And what should we more say,"why that substance which God is should not be corruptible,"seeing if it were so, it should not be God?
3296And what was it that I delighted in, but to love, and be loved?
3296And what was it which they suggested in that I said,"this or that,"what did they suggest, O my God?
3296And what, O Lord, was she with so many tears asking of Thee, but that Thou wouldest not suffer me to sail?
3296And what, among all parts of the world can be found nearer to an absolute formlessness, than earth and deep?
3296And when shall I have time to rehearse all Thy great benefits towards us at that time, especially when hasting on to yet greater mercies?
3296And when shall that be?
3296And whence does that present itself, but out of the memory itself?
3296And whence is it that often even in sleep we resist, and mindful of our purpose, and abiding most chastely in it, yield no assent to such enticements?
3296And whence should he be able to do this, unless Thou hadst made that mind?
3296And whence should they be, hadst not Thou appointed them?
3296And where do I recognise it, but in the memory itself?
3296And where shall I find Thee?
3296And where should that be, which it containeth not of itself?
3296And where would have been those her so strong and unceasing prayers, unintermitting to Thee alone?
3296And whither, when the heaven and the earth are filled, pourest Thou forth the remainder of Thyself?
3296And who but Thou could be the workmaster of such wonders?
3296And who denies past things to be now no longer?
3296And who denieth the present time hath no space, because it passeth away in a moment?
3296And who has any right to speak against it, if just punishment follow the sinner?
3296And who is He but our God?
3296And who is he, O Lord, who is not some whit transported beyond the limits of necessity?
3296And who is sufficient for these things?
3296And who is this but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, because by filling them He created them?
3296And who leaveth Thee, whither goeth or whither fleeth he, but from Thee well- pleased, to Thee displeased?
3296And who there knew him not?
3296And whose but Thine were these words which by my mother, Thy faithful one, Thou sangest in my ears?
3296And why seek I now in what place thereof Thou dwellest, as if there were places therein?
3296And yet whence was this too, but from the sin and vanity of this life, because I was flesh, and a breath that passeth away and cometh not again?
3296And, not indeed in these words, yet to this purpose, spake I much unto Thee: and Thou, O Lord, how long?
3296Anger seeks revenge: who revenges more justly than Thou?
3296Are an hundred years, when present, a long time?
3296Are griefs then too loved?
3296Are these things false?"
3296Are we ashamed to follow, because others are gone before, and not ashamed not even to follow?"
3296As if He had been in place, Who is not in place, of Whom only it is written, that He is Thy gift?
3296As then we remember joy?
3296As we remember eloquence then?
3296As we remember numbers then?
3296BOOK VI O Thou, my hope from my youth, where wert Thou to me, and whither wert Thou gone?
3296BOOK XI Lord, since eternity is Thine, art Thou ignorant of what I say to Thee?
3296Because none doth ordinarily laugh alone?
3296Before them what more foul than I was already, displeasing even such as myself?
3296Behold, I too say, O my God, Where art Thou?
3296But I would not be asked,"Why then doth God err?"
3296But Thou who fillest all things, fillest Thou them with Thy whole self?
3296But again I said, Who made me?
3296But art thou any thing, that thus I speak to thee?
3296But didst Thou fail me even by that old man, or forbear to heal my soul?
3296But do I depart any whither?
3296But do I perceive it, or seem to perceive it?
3296But for what fruit would they hear this?
3296But hast not Thou, O most merciful Lord, pardoned and remitted this sin also, with my other most horrible and deadly sins, in the holy water?
3296But how didst Thou make the heaven and the earth?
3296But how didst Thou speak?
3296But how dost Thou make them?
3296But how is that future diminished or consumed, which as yet is not?
3296But how know we this?
3296But if before heaven and earth there was no time, why is it demanded, what Thou then didst?
3296But if the will of God has been from eternity that the creature should be, why was not the creature also from eternity?"
3296But in these things is no place of repose; they abide not, they flee; and who can follow them with the senses of the flesh?
3296But in what sense is that long or short, which is not?
3296But is it also in grief for a thing lost, and the sorrow wherewith I was then overwhelmed?
3296But is it so, as one remembers Carthage who hath seen it?
3296But now when I hear that there be three kinds of questions,"Whether the thing be?
3296But should any ask me, had I rather be merry or fearful?
3296But time present how do we measure, seeing it hath no space?
3296But was not either the Father, or the Son, borne above the waters?
3296But we measure times as they are passing, by perceiving them; but past, which now are not, or the future, which are not yet, who can measure?
3296But what availed the utmost neatness of the cup- bearer to my thirst for a more precious draught?
3296But what did this further me, imagining that Thou, O Lord God, the Truth, wert a vast and bright body, and I a fragment of that body?
3296But what do I love, when I love Thee?
3296But what foul offences can there be against Thee, who canst not be defiled?
3296But what in discourse do we mention more familiarly and knowingly, than time?
3296But what is forgetfulness, but the privation of memory?
3296But what is nearer to me than myself?
3296But what is this, and what kind of mystery?
3296But what pain?
3296But what prouder, than for me with a strange madness to maintain myself to be that by nature which Thou art?
3296But what sort of compassion is this for feigned and scenical passions?
3296But what sort of man is any man, seeing he is but a man?
3296But what speak I of these things?
3296But what when the memory itself loses any thing, as falls out when we forget and seek that we may recollect?
3296But when it was present, how did it write its image in the memory, seeing that forgetfulness by its presence effaces even what it finds already noted?
3296But when then pay we court to our great friends, whose favour we need?
3296But whence had it this degree of being, but from Thee, from Whom are all things, so far forth as they are?
3296But whence should I know, whether he spake truth?
3296But whence, by what way, and whither passes it while it is a measuring?
3296But where in my memory residest Thou, O Lord, where residest Thou there?
3296But where shall it be sought or when?
3296But where was I, when I was seeking Thee?
3296But wherefore was it not meet that the knowledge of Him should be conveyed otherwise, than as being borne above?
3296But whether by images or no, who can readily say?
3296But whither ascend ye, when ye are on high, and set your mouth against the heavens?
3296But whither goes that vein?
3296But who shall cleanse it?
3296But whosoever reckons up his real merits to Thee, what reckons he up to Thee but Thine own gifts?
3296But why did I so much hate the Greek, which I studied as a boy?
3296But why doth"truth generate hatred,"and the man of Thine, preaching the truth, become an enemy to them?
3296But yet what was it?
3296But yet who bade that Manichaeus write on these things also, skill in which was no element of piety?
3296But yet, O my God, Who madest us, what comparison is there betwixt that honour that I paid to her, and her slavery for me?
3296By remembrance, as though I had forgotten it, remembering that I had forgotten it?
3296By what Word then didst Thou speak, that a body might be made, whereby these words again might be made?
3296By what way dost Thou, to whom nothing is to come, teach things to come; or rather of the future, dost teach things present?
3296By which of these ought I to seek my God?
3296Can it at any time or place be unjust to love God with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his mind; and his neighbour as himself?
3296Can my hand do this, or the hand of my mouth by speech bring about a thing so great?
3296Can our hopes in court rise higher than to be the Emperor''s favourites?
3296Could it be measured the rather, for that?
3296Did not I read in thee of Jove the thunderer and the adulterer?
3296Did not my God, Who is not only good, but goodness itself?
3296Did the whole tumult of my soul, for which neither time nor utterance sufficed, reach them?
3296Didst Thou then indeed hold Thy peace to me?
3296Do I then love in a man, what I hate to be, who am a man?
3296Do I then measure, O my God, and know not what I measure?
3296Do not divers wills distract the mind, while he deliberates which he should rather choose?
3296Do the heaven and earth then contain Thee, since Thou fillest them?
3296Do they desire to joy with me, when they hear how near, by Thy gift, I approach unto Thee?
3296Does not my soul most truly confess unto Thee, that I do measure times?
3296Does the memory perchance not belong to the mind?
3296Dost Thou bid me assent, if any define time to be"motion of a body?"
3296Dost Thou mock me for asking this, and bid me praise Thee and acknowledge Thee, for that I do know?
3296Doth then, O Lord God of truth, whoso knoweth these things, therefore please Thee?
3296Doth this sweeten it, that we hope Thou hearest?
3296Envy disputes for excellency: what more excellent than Thou?
3296Even now, after the descent of Life to you, will ye not ascend and live?
3296For I ask any one, had he rather joy in truth, or in falsehood?
3296For I ask them, is it good to take pleasure in reading the Apostle?
3296For had I then parted hence, whither had I departed, but into fire and torments, such as my misdeeds deserved in the truth of Thy appointment?
3296For had there been light, where should it have been but by being over all, aloft, and enlightening?
3296For his presence did not lessen my privacy; or how could he forsake me so disturbed?
3296For how much better are the fables of poets and grammarians than these snares?
3296For how should He, by the crucifixion of a phantasm, which I believed Him to be?
3296For how should there be a blessed life where life itself is not?
3296For if He made, what did He make but a creature?
3296For if Thine ears be not with us in the depths also, whither shall we go?
3296For if they be comprised in this word earth; how then can formless matter be meant in that name of earth, when we see the waters so beautiful?
3296For if( say they) He were unemployed and wrought not, why does He not also henceforth, and for ever, as He did heretofore?
3296For that past time which was long, was it long when it was now past, or when it was yet present?
3296For then I ask myself how much more or less troublesome it is to me not to have them?
3296For what am I to myself without Thee, but a guide to mine own downfall?
3296For what did heaven and earth, which Thou madest in the Beginning, deserve of Thee?
3296For what else is it to feed the wind, but to feed them, that is by going astray to become their pleasure and derision?
3296For what is it to hear from Thee of themselves, but to know themselves?
3296For what is nearer to Thine ears than a confessing heart, and a life of faith?
3296For what is time?
3296For what is, but because Thou art?
3296For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man, which is in him?
3296For what mortal can?
3296For what other place is there for such a soul?
3296For what pleasure hath it, to see in a mangled carcase what will make you shudder?
3296For what profited me good abilities, not employed to good uses?
3296For what shall I say, when it is clear to me that I remember forgetfulness?
3296For what thief will abide a thief?
3296For what would I say, O Lord my God, but that I know not whence I came into this dying life( shall I call it?)
3296For what, I beseech Thee, O my God, do I measure, when I say, either indefinitely"this is a longer time than that,"or definitely"this is double that"?
3296For when a body is moved, I by time measure, how long it moveth, from the time it began to move until it left off?
3296For when it was found, whence should she know whether it were the same, unless she remembered it?
3296For whence could innumerable ages pass by, which Thou madest not, Thou the Author and Creator of all ages?
3296For whence else is this hesitation between conflicting wills?
3296For whence shouldest Thou have this, which Thou hadst not made, thereof to make any thing?
3296For where did they, who foretold things to come, see them, if as yet they be not?
3296For where doth he not find Thy law in his own punishment?
3296For where was that charity building upon the foundation of humility, which is Christ Jesus?
3296For whither fled they, when they fled from Thy presence?
3296For whither should my heart flee from my heart?
3296For who discerneth us, but Thou?
3296For who is Lord but the Lord?
3296For who would willingly speak thereof, if so oft as we name grief or fear, we should be compelled to be sad or fearful?
3296For why should not the motions of all bodies rather be times?
3296For with a wounded heart have I beheld Thy brightness, and stricken back I said,"Who can attain thither?
3296For, what was that which was thence through my tongue distilled into the ears of my most familiar friends?
3296Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee?
3296Had He no might to turn and change the whole, so that no evil should remain in it, seeing He is All- mighty?
3296Hadst not Thou created me, and separated me from the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air?
3296Hast Thou, although present every where, cast away our misery far from Thee?
3296Hast not Thou, O Lord, taught his soul, which confesseth unto Thee?
3296Have I not confessed against myself my transgressions unto Thee, and Thou, my God, hast forgiven the iniquity of my heart?
3296He cries out, How long?
3296Heal Thou all my bones, and let them say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee?
3296How can I say that the image of forgetfulness is retained by my memory, not forgetfulness itself, when I remember it?
3296How did I burn then, my God, how did I burn to re- mount from earthly things to Thee, nor knew I what Thou wouldest do with me?
3296How did corporeal matter deserve of Thee, to be even invisible and without form?
3296How did they deserve of Thee, to be even without form, since they had not been even this, but from Thee?
3296How may it then be measured?
3296How seek I it?
3296How then do I seek Thee, O Lord?
3296How then do I seek a happy life, seeing I have it not, until I can say, where I ought to say it,"It is enough"?
3296How then is it present that I remember it, since when present I can not remember?
3296How then know I this, seeing I know not what time is?
3296How then should it be called, that it might be in some measure conveyed to those of duller mind, but by some ordinary word?
3296I beseech Thee, my God, I would fain know, if so Thou willest, for what purpose my baptism was then deferred?
3296I exclaim:"what is it?
3296I loved then in it also the company of the accomplices, with whom I did it?
3296I measure the motion of a body in time; and the time itself do I not measure?
3296I remember to have sought and found many a thing; and this I thereby know, that when I was seeking any of them, and was asked,"Is this it?"
3296I sent up these sorrowful words: How long, how long,"to- morrow, and tomorrow?"
3296I should choose to be myself, though worn with cares and fears; but out of wrong judgment; for, was it the truth?
3296I should have desired verily, had I then been Moses( for we all come from the same lump, and what is man, saving that Thou art mindful of him?
3296If God be for us, who can be against us?
3296If in my praise I am moved with the good of my neighbour, why am I less moved if another be unjustly dispraised than if it be myself?
3296If not, why does it still echo in our ears on all sides,"Let him alone, let him do as he will, for he is not yet baptised?"
3296If the devil were the author, whence is that same devil?
3296If, again, I should ask which might be forgotten with least detriment to the concerns of life, reading and writing or these poetic fictions?
3296In so small a creature, what was not wonderful, not admirable?
3296In the future, whence it passeth through?
3296In the way that the voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son?
3296In what space then do we measure time passing?
3296Is it also present to itself by its image, and not by itself?
3296Is it body?
3296Is it clasped up with the eyes?
3296Is it false, that every nature already formed, or matter capable of form, is not, but from Him Who is supremely good, because He is supremely?"
3296Is it not thus, as I recall it, O Lord my God, Thou judge of my conscience?
3296Is it soul?
3296Is it that the matter was without form, in which because there was no form, there was no order?
3296Is it that which constituteth soul or body?
3296Is it then a slight woe to love Thee not?
3296Is it to come?
3296Is it without it, and not within?
3296Is justice therefore various or mutable?
3296Is not the life of man upon earth all trial: without any interval?
3296Is not the life of man upon earth all trial?
3296Is not this corporeal figure apparent to all whose senses are perfect?
3296Is the comparison unlike in this, because not in all respects like?
3296Is the thing different, because they are but small creatures?
3296Is this their allotted measure?
3296Know I not this also?
3296Known therefore it is to all, for they with one voice be asked,"would they be happy?"
3296Lastly, why would He make any thing at all of it, and not rather by the same All- mightiness cause it not to be at all?
3296Let him also rejoice and say, What thing is this?
3296Let my bones be bedewed with Thy love, and let them say unto Thee, Who is like unto Thee, O Lord?
3296Let my heart and my tongue praise Thee; yea, let all my bones say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee?
3296Life is vain, death uncertain; if it steals upon us on a sudden, in what state shall we depart hence?
3296Lo, are they not full of their old leaven, who say to us,"What was God doing before He made heaven and earth?
3296May I learn from Thee, who art Truth, and approach the ear of my heart unto Thy mouth, that Thou mayest tell me why weeping is sweet to the miserable?
3296My God hath done this for me more abundantly, that I should now see thee withal, despising earthly happiness, become His servant: what do I here?"
3296My God, my Mercy, with how much gall didst Thou out of Thy great goodness besprinkle for me that sweetness?
3296My life being such, was it life, O my God?
3296No man sings there, Shall not my soul be submitted unto God?
3296Nor did that depart,--(for whither went it?)
3296Notwithstanding, in how many most petty and contemptible things is our curiosity daily tempted, and how often we give way, who can recount?
3296O my Lord, my Light, shall not here also Thy Truth mock at man?
3296O ye sons of men, how long so slow of heart?
3296Oh that they were wearied out with their famine, and said, Who will show us good things?
3296One is commended, and, unseen, he is loved: doth this love enter the heart of the hearer from the mouth of the commender?
3296Or hath it no being?
3296Or how shall we obtain salvation, but from Thy hand, re- making what it made?
3296Or if it were from eternity, why suffered He it so to be for infinite spaces of times past, and was pleased so long after to make something out of it?
3296Or in the present, by which it passes?
3296Or is weeping indeed a bitter thing, and for very loathing of the things which we before enjoyed, does it then, when we shrink from them, please us?
3296Or was it then good, even for a while, to cry for what, if given, would hurt?
3296Or what am I to Thee that Thou demandest my love, and, if I give it not, art wroth with me, and threatenest me with grievous woes?
3296Or where but with Thee is unshaken safety?
3296Or whereas no man likes to be miserable, is he yet pleased to be merciful?
3296Or who, except Thou, our God, made for us that firmament of authority over us in Thy Divine Scripture?
3296Or, could it then be against His will?
3296Or, desiring to learn it as a thing unknown, either never having known, or so forgotten it, as not even to remember that I had forgotten it?
3296Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee?
3296Or, should there in our words be some syllables short, others long, but because those sounded in a shorter time, these in a longer?
3296Or, was there some evil matter of which He made, and formed, and ordered it, yet left something in it which He did not convert into good?
3296Or, while we were saying this, should we not also be speaking in time?
3296Or,"How came it into His mind to make any thing, having never before made any thing?"
3296Rejoiceth he for that?
3296Say, Lord, to me, Thy suppliant; say, all- pitying, to me, Thy pitiable one; say, did my infancy succeed another age of mine that died before it?
3296See, I answer him that asketh,"What did God before He made heaven and earth?"
3296See, it is no great matter now to obtain some station, and then what should we more wish for?
3296Seeing then Thou art the Creator of all times, if any time was before Thou madest heaven and earth, why say they that Thou didst forego working?
3296Shall I say that that is not in my memory, which I remember?
3296Shall any be his own artificer?
3296Shall compassion then be put away?
3296Since, then, I too exist, why do I seek that Thou shouldest enter into me, who were not, wert Thou not in me?
3296The cruelty of the great would fain be feared; but who is to be feared but God alone, out of whose power what can be wrested or withdrawn?
3296The forenoons our scholars take up; what do we during the rest?
3296The heaven of heavens are the Lord''s; but the earth hath He given to the children of men?
3296The other, in banter, replied,"Do walls then make Christians?"
3296Therefore I contend not in judgment with Thee; for if Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall abide it?
3296Therefore didst Thou command it to be written, that darkness was upon the face of the deep; what else than the absence of light?
3296These be Thine own promises: and who need fear to be deceived, when the Truth promiseth?
3296These things being safe and immovably settled in my mind, I sought anxiously"whence was evil?"
3296This same time then, how do I measure?
3296This then that He is said"never to have made"; what else is it to say, than"in''no time''to have made?"
3296Those two times then, past and to come, how are they, seeing the past now is not, and that to come is not yet?
3296Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine?
3296Thou then, Ruler of Thy creation, by what way dost Thou teach souls things to come?
3296Thou, by whose gift she was such?
3296Times passing, not past?
3296To Thy grace I ascribe also whatsoever I have not done of evil; for what might I not have done, who even loved a sin for its own sake?
3296To what end then would ye still and still walk these difficult and toilsome ways?
3296To whom shall I speak this?
3296To whom tell I this?
3296To wish, namely, to be feared and loved of men, for no other end, but that we may have a joy therein which is no joy?
3296Unto it speaks my faith which Thou hast kindled to enlighten my feet in the night, Why art thou sad, O my soul, and why dost thou trouble me?
3296Was it for his own necessities, because he said, Ye sent unto my necessity?
3296We hold the promise, who shall make it null?
3296What am I then, O my God?
3296What art Thou then, my God?
3296What art Thou to me?
3296What can be more, and yet what less like?
3296What did all this further me, seeing it even hindered me?
3296What diddest Thou then, my God, and how unsearchable is the abyss of Thy judgments?
3296What evil have not been either my deeds, or if not my deeds, my words, or if not my words, my will?
3296What glory, Lord?
3296What greater madness can be said or thought of?
3296What is it that attracts and wins us to the things we love?
3296What is it to me, O my true life, my God, that my declamation was applauded above so many of my own age and class?
3296What is it to me, though any comprehend not this?
3296What is it which hath come into my mind to enquire, and discuss, and consider?
3296What is its root, and what its seed?
3296What is that which gleams through me, and strikes my heart without hurting it; and I shudder and kindle?
3296What is this but a miserable madness?
3296What is worthy of dispraise but vice?
3296What is, in truth?
3296What marvel that an unhappy sheep, straying from Thy flock, and impatient of Thy keeping, I became infected with a foul disease?
3296What means this, O Lord my God, whereas Thou art everlastingly joy to Thyself, and some things around Thee evermore rejoice in Thee?
3296What means this, that this portion of things thus ebbs and flows alternately displeased and reconciled?
3296What middle place is there betwixt these two, where the life of man is not all trial?
3296What nature am I?
3296What said I not against myself?
3296What sayest Thou to me?
3296What shall I do then, O Thou my true life, my God?
3296What shall I render unto the Lord, that, whilst my memory recalls these things, my soul is not affrighted at them?
3296What shall wretched man do?
3296What strength of ours, yea what ages would suffice for all Thy books in this manner?
3296What then could they be more truly called than"Subverters"?
3296What then did I love in that theft?
3296What then did wretched I so love in thee, thou theft of mine, thou deed of darkness, in that sixteenth year of my age?
3296What then do I confess unto Thee in this kind of temptation, O Lord?
3296What then do I love, when I love my God?
3296What then do I measure?
3296What then if all give equal pleasure, and all at once?
3296What then if one of us should deliberate, and amid the strife of his two wills be in a strait, whether he should go to the theatre or to our church?
3296What then is it I measure?
3296What then is the beautiful?
3296What then is time?
3296What then shall I say, O Truth my Light?
3296What then takes place in the soul, when it is more delighted at finding or recovering the things it loves, than if it had ever had them?
3296What then was my sin?
3296What then was this feeling?
3296What third way is there?
3296What when we measure silence, and say that this silence hath held as long time as did that voice?
3296What wilt thou answer me?
3296What, but that I am delighted with praise, but with truth itself, more than with praise?
3296What, if death itself cut off and end all care and feeling?
3296What, when I name forgetfulness, and withal recognise what I name?
3296What, when sitting at home, a lizard catching flies, or a spider entangling them rushing into her nets, oft- times takes my attention?
3296When compose what we may sell to scholars?
3296When refresh ourselves, unbending our minds from this intenseness of care?
3296When shall I recall all which passed in those holy- days?
3296When therefore will it be?
3296When we shall all rise again, though we shall not all be changed?
3296Whence and how entered these things into my memory?
3296Whence and whither hast Thou thus led my remembrance, that I should confess these things also unto Thee?
3296Whence could such a being be, save from Thee, Lord?
3296Whence is evil?
3296Whence is it then?
3296Whence is this monstrousness?
3296Whence is this monstrousness?
3296Whence it seemed to me, that time is nothing else than protraction; but of what, I know not; and I marvel, if it be not of the mind itself?
3296Whence then came I to will evil and nill good, so that I am thus justly punished?
3296Whence then is sweet fruit gathered from the bitterness of life, from groaning, tears, sighs, and complaints?
3296Whence then so many thorns, if the earth be fruitful?
3296Whence this monstrousness?
3296Whence was this, but that Thine ears were towards her heart?
3296Whence, or when procure them?
3296Where in the end do we search, but in the memory itself?
3296Where is evil then, and whence, and how crept it in hither?
3296Where is reason then, which, awake, resisteth such suggestions?
3296Where is that heaven which we see not, to which all this which we see is earth?
3296Where now are the impulses to such various and divers kinds of loves laid up in one soul?
3296Where then and when did I experience my happy life, that I should remember, and love, and long for it?
3296Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee, but in Thee above me?
3296Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee?
3296Where then did they know this happy life, save where they know the truth also?
3296Where then is the time, which we may call long?
3296Where then light was not, what was the presence of darkness, but the absence of light?
3296Where then wert Thou then to me, and how far from me?
3296Where then?
3296Where was then that discreet old woman, and that her earnest countermanding?
3296Whereat then rejoicest thou, O great Paul?
3296Wherefore delay then to abandon worldly hopes, and give ourselves wholly to seek after God and the blessed life?
3296Which images, how they are formed, who can tell, though it doth plainly appear by which sense each hath been brought in and stored up?
3296Which of us comprehendeth the Almighty Trinity?
3296Which way, but through the present?
3296Whither do I call Thee, since I am in Thee?
3296Whither go ye in rough ways?
3296Whither go ye?
3296Whither not follow myself?
3296Whither should I flee from myself?
3296Who am I, and what am I?
3296Who can disentangle that twisted and intricate knottiness?
3296Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it?
3296Who can readily and briefly explain this?
3296Who can recount all Thy praises, which he hath felt in his one self?
3296Who can understand his errors?
3296Who declare it?
3296Who gathered the embittered together into one society?
3296Who knows not this?
3296Who now shall search out this?
3296Who now teacheth us, but the unchangeable Truth?
3296Who remindeth me of the sins of my infancy?
3296Who remindeth me?
3296Who repay Him the price wherewith He bought us, and so take us from Him?
3296Who shall comprehend?
3296Who shall restore to Him the innocent blood?
3296Who shall stand against thee?
3296Who then should deliver me thus wretched from the body of this death, but Thy grace only, through Jesus Christ our Lord?
3296Who therefore denieth, that things to come are not as yet?
3296Who will say so?
3296Who wishes for troubles and difficulties?
3296Who, Lord, but Thou, saidst, Let the waters be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear, which thirsteth after Thee?
3296Whom could I find to reconcile me to Thee?
3296Whom shall I enquire of concerning these things?
3296Whom so soon as Alypius remembered, he told the architect: and he showing the hatchet to the boy, asked him"Whose that was?"
3296Why am I more stung by reproach cast upon myself, than at that cast upon another, with the same injustice, before me?
3296Why is it, that man desires to be made sad, beholding doleful and tragical things, which yet himself would no means suffer?
3296Why not now?
3296Why not this?
3296Why say more?
3296Why seek they to hear from me what I am; who will not hear from Thee what themselves are?
3296Why should he trouble me, as if I could enlighten any man that cometh into this world?
3296Why so then?
3296Why standest thou in thyself, and so standest not?
3296Why that?
3296Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh?
3296Why then did I hate the Greek classics, which have the like tales?
3296Why then do I lay in order before Thee so many relations?
3296Why then does not the disputer, thus recollecting, taste in the mouth of his musing the sweetness of joy, or the bitterness of sorrow?
3296Why then fear we and avoid what is not?
3296Why then is this said of Thy Spirit only, why is it said only of Him?
3296Why then joy they not in it?
3296Why then was my delight of such sort that I did it not alone?
3296Why, I beseech Thee, O Lord my God?
3296Why, since we are equally men, do I love in another what, if I did not hate, I should not spurn and cast from myself?
3296Why?
3296Wilt Thou hold Thy peace for ever?
3296Would any commit murder upon no cause, delighted simply in murdering?
3296Would aught avail against a secret disease, if Thy healing hand, O Lord, watched not over us?
3296Yea, and if I knew this also, should I know it from him?
3296Yea, sloth would fain be at rest; but what stable rest besides the Lord?
3296Yet what do we measure, if not time in some space?
3296and all at once the same part?
3296and by how many perils arrive we at a greater peril?
3296and dare I say that Thou heldest Thy peace, O my God, while I wandered further from Thee?
3296and from that moment shall not this or that be lawful for thee for ever?"
3296and from that moment shall we no more be with thee for ever?
3296and in this, what is there not brittle, and full of perils?
3296and shall we not rather suffer the punishment of this negligence?
3296and to pray for me, when they shall hear how much I am held back by my own weight?
3296and to what end?
3296and to what end?
3296and to what end?
3296and was there nothing else whereon to exercise my wit and tongue?
3296and what Thy days, but Thy eternity, as Thy years which fail not, because Thou art ever the same?
3296and what before that life again, O God my joy, was I any where or any body?
3296and what else did he who beat me?
3296and what is beauty?
3296and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me?
3296and what the engine of Thy so mighty fabric?
3296and when arrive we thither?
3296and where shall we learn what here we have neglected?
3296and wherein did I even corruptly and pervertedly imitate my Lord?
3296and who knoweth and saith,"It is false,"unless himself lieth?
3296and yet which speaks not of It, if indeed it be It?
3296and, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee?
3296bitterly to resent, that persons free, and its own elders, yea, the very authors of its birth, served it not?
3296but how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?
3296but no space, we do not measure: or in the past, to which it passes?
3296by what prayers?
3296by what sacraments?
3296could I like what I might not, only because I might not?
3296do then heaven and earth, which Thou hast made, and wherein Thou hast made me, contain Thee?
3296do we by a shorter time measure a longer, as by the space of a cubit, the space of a rood?
3296doth not each little infant, in whom I see what of myself I remember not?
3296for of that I have heard somewhat, and have myself seen women with child?
3296for who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee?
3296from whom borrow them?
3296how didst Thou cure her?
3296how heal her?
3296how long roll the sons of Eve into that huge and hideous ocean, which even they scarcely overpass who climb the cross?
3296how long shalt thou not be dried up?
3296how long, Lord, wilt Thou be angry for ever?
3296how speak it?
3296how speak of the weight of evil desires, downwards to the steep abyss; and how charity raises up again by Thy Spirit which was borne above the waters?
3296how then doth it not comprehend itself?
3296how, O God, didst Thou make heaven and earth?
3296if she now seeks of Thee one thing, and desireth it, that she may dwell in Thy house all the days of her life( and what is her life, but Thou?
3296in those things, of the remembrance whereof I am now ashamed?
3296is it lulled asleep with the senses of the body?
3296is not a happy life what all will, and no one altogether wills it not?
3296is not all this smoke and wind?
3296is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain Thee?
3296of what kind it is?"
3296or can there elsewhere be derived any vein, which may stream essence and life into us, save from thee, O Lord, in whom essence and life are one?
3296or can they either in themselves, and not rather in the Lord their God?
3296or dost Thou fill them and yet overflow, since they do not contain Thee?
3296or dost Thou see in time, what passeth in time?
3296or each its own part, the greater more, the smaller less?
3296or good to discourse on the Gospel?
3296or good to take pleasure in a sober Psalm?
3296or hast Thou no need that aught contain Thee, who containest all things, since what Thou fillest Thou fillest by containing it?
3296or how have they disgraced Thy government, which, from the heaven to this lowest earth, is just and perfect?
3296or how shall they believe without a preacher?
3296or how should they pass by, if they never were?
3296or how that past increased, which is now no longer, save that in the mind which enacteth this, there be three things done?
3296or how went it away?
3296or is it at last that I deceive myself, and do not the truth before Thee in my heart and tongue?
3296or is it perchance that I know not how to express what I know?
3296or shall I say that forgetfulness is for this purpose in my memory, that I might not forget?
3296or to whom should I cry, save Thee?
3296or was it not laid loose?
3296or what Angel, a man?
3296or what Angel, an Angel?
3296or what acts of violence against Thee, who canst not be harmed?
3296or what am I even at the best, but an infant sucking the milk Thou givest, and feeding upon Thee, the food that perisheth not?
3296or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee?
3296or what times should there be, which were not made by Thee?
3296or when should these books teach me it?
3296or whence canst Thou enter into me?
3296or where dost not Thou find them?
3296or who is God save our God?
3296or, art Thou wholly every where, while nothing contains Thee wholly?
3296or, because nothing which exists could exist without Thee, doth therefore whatever exists contain Thee?
3296or, since all things can not contain Thee wholly, do they contain part of Thee?
3296that many besides, wiser than it, obeyed not the nod of its good pleasure?
3296that period I pass by; and what have I now to do with that, of which I can recall no vestige?
3296to do its best to strike and hurt, because commands were not obeyed, which had been obeyed to its hurt?
3296to whom shall I speak it?
3296was I to have recourse to Angels?
3296was it for my good that the rein was laid loose, as it were, upon me, for me to sin?
3296was it that I hung upon the breast and cried?
3296was it that which I spent within my mother''s womb?
3296what aim we at?
3296what heardest thou?
3296what it is?
3296what manner of lodging hast Thou framed for Thee?
3296what manner of sanctuary hast Thou builded for Thee?
3296what serve we for?
3296what, but the Lord God?
3296when, or where, or whither, or by whom?
3296whence should I recognise it, did I not remember it?
3296whence, but from the future?
3296where have they known it, that they so will it?
3296where is the short syllable by which I measure?
3296where seen it, that they so love it?
3296where the long which I measure?
3296whereat rejoicest thou?
3296which because it can not be without passion, for this reason alone are passions loved?
3296whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth?
3296whither cry?
3296whither flows it?
3296whither, but into the past?
3296who can teach me, save He that enlighteneth my heart, and discovereth its dark corners?
3296who could any ways express it?
3296who does not foresee what all must answer who have not wholly forgotten themselves?
3296who ever sounded the bottom thereof?
3296who is He above the head of my soul?
3296who set this in me, and ingrafted into me this plant of bitterness, seeing I was wholly formed by my most sweet God?
3296who shall comprehend how it is?
3296who would believe it?
3296who would, any way, pronounce thereon rashly?
3296who, if worsted in some trifling discussion with his fellow- tutor, was more embittered and jealous than I when beaten at ball by a play- fellow?
3296why are they not happy?
3296why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
3296why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing?
3296why not is there this hour an end to my uncleanness?
3296why then speaks it not the same to all?
3296would not these Manichees also be in a strait what to answer?
3296yea, who can grasp them, when they are hard by?
