40479 | I''se in Paris( this here nigger''s been''bout pretty much) and a great big doggone Paris cop nabbed me, see? |

40479 | Shall I help you to write a real, nice, touching letter, Dutchy?" |
40479 | Smith grinned in answer:"Room? |
40479 | The question was: Had a telegram from the regiment with my description reached Oran already or not? |
40479 | The reason? |
40479 | The silent march into the night was trying for my burning curiosity, and I did a most unmilitary thing:"Where are we going to, Lieutenant?" |
40479 | The"merdes"were always flying about...."Well, what is this''merde''?" |
40479 | Then after a pause:"What do you really expect? |

40479 | When I was relieved at midnight the sergeant asked:"Anything unusual?" |
40479 | When the corporal had made his report, my captain sent for me:"You have not been punished so far?" |
40479 | Where was I, anyway? |
40479 | Who''s going to help you? |
40479 | Whose fault is it? |
40479 | Why should I not live a rough life now? |
40479 | Why should a convict get paid? |
40479 | Why should they make it so hard for me in particular? |
40479 | Why should they stare at me? |
40479 | Without any examination?" |

40479 | You sit there in your arm- chair? |

4271 | What can be done with him? |
4271 | What could you do but lose your own?'' |
4271 | What do you think could harm us, Monsieur, when we are going to my dear papa?'' |
4271 | What? |
4271 | Where are the lady and the rest?'' |
4271 | Where are the rest?'' |
4271 | Where d''ye hail from?'' |
4271 | Where were the Cabeleyzes who had thus greeted them? |
4271 | Who are you, my little man? |
4271 | Why do not you speak to me?'' |
4271 | Why should I be called by so ugly a name? |
4271 | Will you count it?'' |
4271 | Would their strength and provisions hold out? |
4271 | Ye''ll never have heard tell of Partan Jeannie?'' |
4271 | Ye''ve thought better of it now?'' |
4271 | You see where I have placed our passports? |
4271 | an''have they made a haythen Moor of ye? |
4271 | and how many of you?'' |
4271 | and whom could ye be bound to serve barring Master Phelim, that''s lain in the same cradle with yees--''''Is not Victorine here, mother?'' |
4271 | but what do they care for that, the robbers? |
4271 | for which of my sins is it that after fifty voyages I should be condemned to lose my all?'' |
4271 | is it you? |
4271 | l''Abbe?'' |
4271 | my dear_ demoiselle_, what would my poor ladies say to see you sleeping on the bare ground in a filthy hut?'' |
4271 | or will they try to make me renounce my faith? |
9069 | Are they not ashamed,he said,"to search God with their palates or with their nose? |
9069 | But whom have you loved? 9069 Do we love anything,"he used to say to his friends,"except what is beautiful?" |
9069 | Have not the pontiffs, like the poets, a bearded Jupiter and a Mercury without beard?... 9069 If we are lost in your eyes, why follow us about? |
9069 | Immortal Paganism, art thou dead? 9069 Is it fit,"he said,"that a bishop should be a shipowner?... |
9069 | Mother,said Augustin,"do you not love truth? |
9069 | They pulled me,he says,"by the coat of my flesh, and they murmured in my ear-- What, are you leaving us? |
9069 | Where wert Thou then, O my God, while I looked for Thee? 9069 Why,"he cries--"Oh, why do you hesitate to give yourselves lest you should lose yourselves? |
9069 | --"I love the soul; how therefore should I not love them?" |
9069 | A bishop a torturer? |
9069 | After all, what are the rivalries of Marius and Sylla to us? |
9069 | Ah, when shall this be? |
9069 | Amid these controversies, where was the truth? |
9069 | Among whom did the Apostolic tradition dwell? |
9069 | And besides, in this resolution to exclude, what becomes of the great principle of Charity? |
9069 | And 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? |
9069 | And even supposing they were, can the fault of a single man be charged to the whole Church?... |
9069 | And even supposing, that in spite of all efforts to save it, the Empire is condemned, must we therefore despair? |
9069 | And his reason, which knows him well, answers:"Do you not then love your friends?" |
9069 | And then, what tragedy more stirring and painful than the crisis of soul and conscience which tore his life? |
9069 | And was not the Gospel ideal essentially more human than that of the pagan philosophers? |
9069 | And why this horror of meat? |
9069 | Are 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?..." |
9069 | Are they comfortable for listening? |
9069 | Are we to see in Donatism a nationalist or separatist movement directed against the Roman occupation? |
9069 | Augustin, breathless in the victorious embrace of Grace, panted:"How long, how long?... |
9069 | Boniface was quite capable of answering:"What are you interfering for? |
9069 | But can a humble and contrite heart thus take pleasure in human adulation? |
9069 | But may not this prohibition provoke husbands to kill their adulterous wives, so as to be free to take a new wife? |
9069 | But suddenly she shuddered, raised herself, and asked in a bewildered way:"Where was I?" |
9069 | But what matters that, when the continual miracle of his charity and his apostolate is considered? |
9069 | By dint of gazing at this, and listening to the praises of the great local author, did the young scholar become aware of his vocation? |
9069 | Can it surprise, then, if men so ignorant of high morality, and so deeply embedded in matter, were also plunged in the grossest superstitions? |
9069 | Could he leave his mother, his son, his brother, and his cousins? |
9069 | Could he manage to silence them at once? |
9069 | Did Augustin remember these things? |
9069 | Did Monnica observe anything of this change in Augustin? |
9069 | Did he wish to hint that at this time Augustin had glided into paganism? |
9069 | Did it grieve him very much to make up his mind to this exile? |
9069 | Did the mother of Adeodatus justify such attachment-- an attachment which was to last more than ten years? |
9069 | Did you not hear? |
9069 | Do not all agree that this is the highest stage of philosophy? |
9069 | Do they not follow some secret law?..." |
9069 | Does not the sleeper wake? |
9069 | Does this mean that he found there rich pavements, mosaics, and statues? |
9069 | For example: If a man cast off his wife under pretext of adultery, might he marry again? |
9069 | For 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?... |
9069 | For 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? |
9069 | For whence, think you, do we implore God to drag us, so that we may be converted and gaze upon His face? |
9069 | For, in fact, to whom had he been entrusted? |
9069 | Give what? |
9069 | Had Augustin a hand in this reconciliation? |
9069 | Had Patricius ever seen the girl that he was going to take, according to custom, so as to have a child- bearer and housewife? |
9069 | Had not Christ said:"Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world"? |
9069 | Had that not been the proud desire of his youth? |
9069 | Has your ear betrayed you, or did you want to find out if I was still capable of judging these things?"... |
9069 | He said to himself:"Why desire the impossible? |
9069 | He seized Alypius roughly by the arm and cried out to him in extraordinary excitement:"What are we about? |
9069 | Henceforth, would he be allowed to live a little less as a bishop and a little more as a monk? |
9069 | How came it that he was taken in by Boniface? |
9069 | How can I hesitate after that to call myself your disciple?" |
9069 | How could an African woman, so much attached to her country, agree to be buried in a stranger soil? |
9069 | How could he control himself till then? |
9069 | How could he part with them? |
9069 | How 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? |
9069 | How did Boniface take a letter which was, in the circumstances, so courageous? |
9069 | How did Monnica become the wife of Patricius? |
9069 | How did the poor creature who had been faithful to him during so many years feel at this ignominious dismissal? |
9069 | How was he to keep up his studies without the sums coming from his father? |
9069 | How was it possible to doubt that the entire revelation was contained in such beautiful books? |
9069 | How was it possible to exhort a victorious general to lay down his arms before the conquered? |
9069 | How was it that he who had always had such feeble health undertook at this age the long journey from Hippo to Cæsarea? |
9069 | How, indeed, could Augustin consent to take him from her? |
9069 | If he loved birds, as a poet who knows not that he is a poet, did he love as well to play at"nuts"? |
9069 | If it were otherwise, what was the good of the Redemption? |
9069 | If you were beaten there, why do you come here now? |
9069 | Immediately he put this question:"Why do those pauses come in the flow of the stream? |
9069 | Is he not an adulterer in the eyes of the Church? |
9069 | Is it forbidden to eat the meats consecrated to idols, even when a man or woman is dying of hunger? |
9069 | Is it not from that jakes of the senses wherein our souls are plunged, and from that darkness of which the error is around us?..." |
9069 | Is it wonderful that the Christian lessons of Monnica and the nurses at Thagaste became more and more blurred in Augustin''s mind? |
9069 | Is not her song, so harmonious, so suave, so well attuned to the season, the very voice of the spring?..." |
9069 | Is not the thought of bringing Him disciples enough to make us joyful? |
9069 | It is now that he wrote:"Tell me, does not the nightingale seem to you to modulate her voice delightfully? |
9069 | Just how far had Augustin dipped into them? |
9069 | May adultery be practised with a woman who promises in exchange to point out heretics?... |
9069 | May one enter into agreements with native camel- drivers and carriers who swear by their gods to keep the bargain? |
9069 | Might not his passions, which were so violent, begin to torment him again after this respite with greater frenzy than before his conversion? |
9069 | Need I name them to you? |
9069 | Now, how did it come about that this monstrous loot took on before the eyes of contemporaries the magnitude of a world- catastrophe? |
9069 | Now, why was this? |
9069 | Or did he lodge with his master, a grammarian, who kept a boarding- house for the boys? |
9069 | Or would not rather the struggle continue in the depths of his conscience? |
9069 | Pertinax himself, did he not begin as a simple teacher of grammar, and become Proconsul of Africa and then Emperor of Rome? |
9069 | Shall it not be, O my God, when we rise again among the dead...?" |
9069 | Shall we be no more with you, for ever? |
9069 | Shall we be no more with you, for ever? |
9069 | Should not these priests, then, in the very interest of the Church, save themselves for quieter times, and escape the persecution by flight? |
9069 | So what am I doing here?" |
9069 | Suppose he tried to submit to that, to bring the faith of his childhood into line with his ambitions as a young man of intellect? |
9069 | Then we turned to each other shuddering, and asked:''How much longer can this last?''..." |
9069 | Then what was left to do since truth was unapproachable? |
9069 | Then why do you baptize the Catholics under the pretence that their priests are_ traditors_ and as such unworthy to administer the Sacraments? |
9069 | Then why should I blush to give you a place among us? |
9069 | This unheard- of grace-- would it be granted to him? |
9069 | To reign in a little corner of the world-- did Christ die for that? |
9069 | To whom did he not write?... |
9069 | To- morrow and to- morrow?... |
9069 | Was Augustin, who still thought of becoming an official, going to mix in with this lot of swindlers, assassins, and brute beasts? |
9069 | Was Aurelius his family name? |
9069 | Was 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? |
9069 | Was he going to bury all that in a little town? |
9069 | Was 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? |
9069 | Was it a nursery- rhyme that the little children of the countryside used to sing? |
9069 | Was it indeed the country bishop, or rather the rhetorician Augustin who, in a burst of gratitude, hit upon this sublime sentence? |
9069 | Was it not possible to reconcile them? |
9069 | Was it possible?... |
9069 | Was it really the end of the world, or only the end of a world?... |
9069 | Was it that he lacked the gift of teaching? |
9069 | Was not this as much as to say that the others belonged to the dissenters? |
9069 | Was she pretty, rich, or poor? |
9069 | Was this a good time to make a noisy profession of faith, to be enrolled among the ranks of the conquered party? |
9069 | Was 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? |
9069 | Well, might not the same thing happen if some soldier were to ask you to dinner and obliged you to drink more than is wise? |
9069 | What advantage was there in being Christian if they had the same treatment as the idolaters? |
9069 | What could be Monnica''s feelings towards a woman who was not even a daughter- in- law and was regarded by her as an intruder? |
9069 | What counts a woman before Rome and Carthage? |
9069 | What else? |
9069 | What greater destiny? |
9069 | What 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? |
9069 | What more could they have wanted? |
9069 | What must have been the parting between the child Adeodatus and his mother? |
9069 | What was all that to the prize of wisdom? |
9069 | What was going to become of him in the great, unknown city? |
9069 | What was he going to do? |
9069 | What was he to do? |
9069 | What was not related about the abominations committed in the mysteries of those people? |
9069 | What was the good of keeping up a useless and dangerous resistance? |
9069 | What was the use of giving up the illusory realities of the senses, if it were not to get hold of more_ solid_ realities? |
9069 | What was there to do against brutal strength? |
9069 | What was this refrain? |
9069 | What was to prevent his taking his son and going off? |
9069 | What''s the use? |
9069 | What, in fact, was the most celebrated rhetorician compared to a bishop-- protector of cities, counsellor of emperors, representative of God on earth? |
9069 | What, indeed, was he seeking, unless it were to capture this"blessed life"which he had pursued so long? |
9069 | What, then, would become of evangelic truth if in such a place the Apostle had lied? |
9069 | When a grammarian talked thus, what could have been the thoughts of agricultural labourers, city workmen, and slaves? |
9069 | When shall I appear before His face?" |
9069 | When shall I be as the swallow? |
9069 | When shall I cease to be silent?... |
9069 | Where to place it? |
9069 | Whither lift it up? |
9069 | Who was this friend? |
9069 | Who, then, were these terrible Donatists whom we have been continually striking against since the beginning of this history? |
9069 | Why do not the dying make it their heir? |
9069 | Why does the whiteness of lettuce proclaim to them the Divinity, and the whiteness of cream nothing at all? |
9069 | Why not now? |
9069 | Why not this hour make an end of my vileness?..." |
9069 | Why should he thus put off his return to Africa, he who was so anxious to fly the world? |
9069 | Why? |
9069 | Without him, what was going to become of her? |
9069 | Would he have to go back home? |
9069 | Yes, I say, what are we about? |
9069 | You 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! |
9069 | is 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?" |
9069 | was Catholicism to become an African religion, a restricted sect, wretchedly tied to the letter of tradition, to the exterior practices of worship? |
59084 | Ah, my fine fellow, how do English pigs like punishment parades in this weather? |
59084 | Ah,said the captain to me,"was it not well that you struggled on?" |
59084 | Ah; and how in self- defence? |
59084 | And Giulia,--I took her in my arms and kissed her,--"do you not understand? |
59084 | And beauty and money, what will they not tempt men to do? |
59084 | And for a week? |
59084 | And only hospital; word of honour? |
59084 | And the commandant will promote you sergeant to- morrow? |
59084 | And where, my dear Marie, did you learn all this? |
59084 | Are you armed? |
59084 | Are you pleased? |
59084 | But can we not find a hiding- place-- some place that nobody could find even in broad daylight? |
59084 | But how do you know,asked a commandant one day,"that the dead men were paid in full?" |
59084 | But only to hospital? |
59084 | But suppose you are ordered to take them and to set them in order yourself? |
59084 | But the Foreign Legion could not be always in Algeria, on the borders of the desert? |
59084 | But there were French soldiers also there, were there not? |
59084 | But there were three wounds; is it not so? |
59084 | But was there not a good chance of promotion in the Legion? |
59084 | But why? |
59084 | Can you not go to the United States,I asked,"and make a new home there?" |
59084 | Can you not guess? |
59084 | Can you not speak? |
59084 | Can you not,I suggested,"take it to the woman in whose quarters you live?" |
59084 | Certainly not,I replied;"why should I kill him when there are so many others who have more grievances than I? |
59084 | Certainly yes,he replied;"we did well in the rehearsal, may we not hope to do even better now?" |
59084 | Did I not help to bring many wounded there to- day? |
59084 | Did he tell you anything? |
59084 | Do you know, corporal,said he,"where it is?" |
59084 | Do you think that I have nothing to do except to listen to complaints against you? |
59084 | Does he come to tell me that I have been appointed his aide- de- camp? |
59084 | Does it taste well? |
59084 | Everything goes well, is it not? |
59084 | Good comrade; but will anything happen? |
59084 | Had he much money? |
59084 | Have I not pledged my honour? |
59084 | Have you been well treated here, sergeant- major? |
59084 | How do you explain the third wound? |
59084 | How much,_ mon vieux_, for all in this hole? |
59084 | How much? |
59084 | How often? |
59084 | I do not mind that; in the English army one has to go to India and South Africa, so what matter? |
59084 | I must be good, Giulia? |
59084 | I trust you, Jean,she answered;"will you not trust me?" |
59084 | I will take care of that,said Giulia;"will you tell your companies?" |
59084 | I? |
59084 | If I can not take my own, why yours? |
59084 | Is it nice? |
59084 | Is it not good? |
59084 | Is she alone? |
59084 | Is there anything to be done? |
59084 | Is there anything you want? |
59084 | It is settled, my comrade; only the hospital? |
59084 | May I go to help? |
59084 | Not much,I answered:"but where are the others?" |
59084 | Not this? |
59084 | Not this? |
59084 | Nothing? |
59084 | Of whom are you thinking? |
59084 | Oh, nothing, nothing,I replied;"what can happen? |
59084 | Oh, that will never be mentioned; why should the scoundrel talk of that? |
59084 | Oh, who the devil knows and who the devil cares? |
59084 | Only to hospital? |
59084 | Surely not your honour? |
59084 | Take care, my comrade, you will get into more trouble, and are not things bad enough with you already? |
59084 | That might be possible; but, Mademoiselle Julie, how could I forget you? |
59084 | Then it was my fault too? |
59084 | Then why are you here almost every day? |
59084 | Then will you tell me how much I ought to have for the entertainment of my company? |
59084 | To hospital? |
59084 | True,continued the Italian;"but then why did you not give us notice that you were taking all for yourself and your companions?" |
59084 | Very 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? |
59084 | Very 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?" |
59084 | Very well,said the captain;"but how will you throw the work on their shoulders?" |
59084 | Well, my comrade, what do you wish to say? |
59084 | Well,asked the corporal,"shall we go straight on at top speed or rest?" |
59084 | What are you doing here? 59084 What do you say, my friend?" |
59084 | What happened to you, mon camarade? |
59084 | What indeed? |
59084 | What indeed? |
59084 | What is it? |
59084 | What is wrong? |
59084 | What''s wrong? |
59084 | When and where were you born? |
59084 | Where did you get it? |
59084 | Where is he? |
59084 | Where is she? |
59084 | Who is chiefly with you, Nicholas? |
59084 | Who is there? |
59084 | Why did you not tell us before? |
59084 | Why do you ask that? |
59084 | Why do you tell me that, Giulia? |
59084 | Why, why? |
59084 | Why,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?" |
59084 | Why? 59084 Yes, yes; have you any tobacco?" |
59084 | You are now a legionary; surely you will do as your good comrades do? |
59084 | You are sorry? |
59084 | You captured a flag, you say? |
59084 | You have been here often, very often-- too often; is it not so? |
59084 | You have bought the Jew''s stuff too, my boy? |
59084 | You the sergeant- major? |
59084 | You will never offend me again? |
59084 | You would like to stay here with me? |
59084 | 4 Company the really aggrieved ones? |
59084 | 4; but what will you? |
59084 | 4? |
59084 | After all, is it not bad enough for an officer to punish a man or to get him punishment? |
59084 | After awhile the captain said:"Who was Nicholas? |
59084 | After some time he said:"How old are you?" |
59084 | Ah, Mademoiselle Giulia,"he went on,"what excuse can your lover make now?" |
59084 | And I am the sole survivor-- but why should I anticipate? |
59084 | And as the man departs he is suddenly ordered to halt and face right- about, and then asked:"Who promoted you sergeant?" |
59084 | And what about the allied armies in China of late? |
59084 | And you, you will forgive?" |
59084 | And you?" |
59084 | As I passed the scoundrels used to say:"Sergeant M----, is he married? |
59084 | As for the Cooloolie girl-- well, what would you expect? |
59084 | As soon, therefore, as other white troops could be sent to our camp we should pack and march-- the question was, whither? |
59084 | At last he spoke:"Will mademoiselle kindly go away and permit me to speak alone to the soldier?" |
59084 | Besides, did I not say that I trust you?" |
59084 | But how could I, the one chiefly addressed, say all that? |
59084 | But in the desert what were we to do? |
59084 | But, it will be asked, were there no leaders in the affair? |
59084 | But, my son, what was it about; did he insult you?" |
59084 | But, one may object, how negociate such a billet in such a place? |
59084 | But, one will say, why not transact the business without troubling me? |
59084 | But, you will say, why not use the Turcos? |
59084 | Did he still hold the idea of asking France to give him the sanctified legionaries as a new army? |
59084 | Did that lead to the quarrel?" |
59084 | Do I blame them? |
59084 | Do you not remember Three Fountains?" |
59084 | Has Madame M---- a friend at her house?" |
59084 | He came to me, and said:"I want it, my sergeant- major; will you give it me?" |
59084 | He looked me up and down, and said:"How old?" |
59084 | He paused a little, still keeping his eyes on me, and then, slightly lifting his eyelids, asked:"Seventeen?" |
59084 | He said:"Is it all right?" |
59084 | He smiled, and said:"Was it not good practice for war? |
59084 | How can I do so and trust?" |
59084 | How could we hit men above us whom we could not see? |
59084 | How do I know that he was shot in the back? |
59084 | How do you like the sergeant- major of the canteen?" |
59084 | How long have you been in the Legion?" |
59084 | How much, I ask you, for the hut, the drink, the tobacco, the glasses, the tables and forms, and all the rest of your property?" |
59084 | How old are you?" |
59084 | I cried,"you to stay here alone, beautiful and with money?" |
59084 | I had to do as I did; I surely could not allow any man to misconduct himself here?" |
59084 | I suppose a musician would call a bugle march monotonous; well, it may be so, but how many men out of 200 are musicians? |
59084 | I 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?" |
59084 | If he ascribes a defeat to this, may not people fairly ascribe his victories to good luck, and that alone? |
59084 | If they did not, would our provisions hold out? |
59084 | If we went to Rome, should we have to soldier with the Swiss and other guards? |
59084 | Imagine asking a man who has made a slight mistake in making out the orders of the day:"Can you read and write?" |
59084 | Is he not a rascal?" |
59084 | Is it not so, dearest?" |
59084 | Is it not so?" |
59084 | Is it not so?" |
59084 | It is not pleasant to see so many brave soldiers without arms in such a region; who knows when the Kabyles will attack?" |
59084 | It was quickly opened, and through the raised window we heard the words:"Is Mademoiselle Julie within?" |
59084 | Mac said he could not do less than try to rescue me,--"il est mon pays, n''est ce pas?" |
59084 | No artillery, of course; but who wants artillery when he has enough of rifles? |
59084 | Oh, my friend, why did you not tell me yesterday?" |
59084 | One will ask: Why did not the cavalry return our fire? |
59084 | People will say: Oh, but you were once sergeant- major, and why did not you command rather than the corporal? |
59084 | Second, 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? |
59084 | Shall we not have even an apology? |
59084 | She hesitated a little, and then answered:"And you too, you will be a good comrade, will you not, Jean?" |
59084 | She looked, calmly enough now, at me, and said:"Did I not tell you yesterday that I trusted you?" |
59084 | She smiled back, as it were triumphantly, and replied:"Why not?" |
59084 | Should we be able to fight our way through, in case the post had to be abandoned? |
59084 | Simple philosophy, was n''t it? |
59084 | That night, when Mac called me for my turn of guard, he said:"Did you notice how queer the corporal was to- day?" |
59084 | The 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?" |
59084 | The draft has gone and he remains; there will be no new draft for months, and what hope is left now? |
59084 | The hard plank was nothing, I was used to that; the death of the adjutant was nothing in itself, for had he not deserved it? |
59084 | The sergeant''s wife was a good woman and deserved a better fate than that which was her lot afterwards; but then, what will you? |
59084 | Then he asked:"And you, young one, what will you do?" |
59084 | There 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? |
59084 | There 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? |
59084 | They were Christians-- by repute at least; but what were they in reality? |
59084 | They 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? |
59084 | Turning 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? |
59084 | Very soon, therefore, he learned my purpose, and a conversation ensued, somewhat as follows:--"You are English; is it not so?" |
59084 | Was he not a clever captain? |
59084 | Was it not better than all the drill in the world?" |
59084 | What can you say against the political refugees from Russia?" |
59084 | What do you want?" |
59084 | What is it?" |
59084 | What is the good, I often thought, of cleaning equipments when I shall be abused just as much as if they were really dirty? |
59084 | What language did we speak? |
59084 | What legionary, what man, indeed, would, when pressed by so lovely a girl? |
59084 | What made you look so pale that day?" |
59084 | What matters it whether I am idle or hardworking when I get the same reward every time? |
59084 | What was he?" |
59084 | What was the good of life since I had lost my love? |
59084 | What was the next thing to do? |
59084 | When the party on the right came within long range Mac called out:"Am I to fire, corporal?" |
59084 | Where is the use of springing smartly at the word of command when I shall be called a lazy rascal and a stupid fool? |
59084 | Who is in charge at the hut?" |
59084 | Who would take the money? |
59084 | Why are you not with your squad? |
59084 | Why did you not leave some in one of them for us?" |
59084 | Why 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? |
59084 | Why have you come here?" |
59084 | Why should I be told that I had insulted her whom I would not pain for all the world? |
59084 | Why should a general talk of"rank bad luck"? |
59084 | Why should he swear at the poor devil and abuse him as if he had no spirit, no sense of shame, no soul? |
59084 | Why, then, should others interfere with him? |
59084 | Why, 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? |
59084 | Why? |
59084 | Will not Mademoiselle Julie give us a glass of wine, so that we may clink our glasses together?" |
59084 | Will you now consent to give up one chevron and become sergeant? |
59084 | With a more desperate and better sustained attack upon more exhausted troops, might not the Chinese fairly hope for complete success? |
59084 | Would our comrades come soon? |
59084 | Would you destroy the enthusiasm of a volunteer by doubting his word? |
59084 | Yet they are not cowards; if they are, why did they not run like the Black Flags? |
59084 | You were at Three Fountains; is it not so?" |
59084 | a surprise for me? |
59084 | all?" |
59084 | is there an attack?" |
59084 | there 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_? |
59084 | they are different; they----"I stopped him again, and said:"And what can you say against a political refugee from Ireland?" |
59084 | what did I say last night?" |
59084 | you do not forget-- perhaps you will never forget-- and then, what is the good of being forgiven?" |
21751 | ''Phatically, too? |
21751 | A prisoner?--a slave? |
21751 | An'', Samson, will you trust_ him_? |
21751 | An''Youssef-- what ob him? |
21751 | An''you wo n''t cry? |
21751 | And am I to be always dumb-- never to speak at all? |
21751 | And what if I refuse to pledge my word for the sake of such freedom? |
21751 | And what if he had done so? |
21751 | And what is your plan? |
21751 | And who are_ you_, that orders me as if I were a dog? |
21751 | And why do you act so, Peter? |
21751 | And your father? |
21751 | And, do you know the danger you run if found conversing with me? |
21751 | Are we going to make another search for poor Mr Sommers? |
21751 | But do you really mean to tell me, Peter, that Ben- Ahmed intended me and Hugh Sommers to escape? |
21751 | But how can I save him? |
21751 | But how can we ever get to England in a small boat like this? |
21751 | But we are both getting on very well, Sally, are we not? 21751 But what is your preparation? |
21751 | But what,he asked,"what security has Ben- Ahmed that you wo n''t be as false to him as you recommend me to be?" |
21751 | But why leave me here at all? |
21751 | But why your anxiety if the whole matter is under safe guidance? |
21751 | But wo n''t he be taken by surprise, Sally? |
21751 | But you are English, are you not? |
21751 | By the way, Sally, what is it that you keep pounding so constantly in that-- that hole off the front room? |
21751 | By whose orders? |
21751 | Can you do gardenin'', you feller? |
21751 | Can you not stop that noise? |
21751 | D''you s''pose dem raskils don''know a real kick from a sham one? 21751 D''you speak English?" |
21751 | De matter wid me? 21751 Deaf, too, I suppose?" |
21751 | Dear 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?" |
21751 | Did Miss Sommers say that I was not to hear the message? |
21751 | Did n''t I say I was_''bleeged_ to do it? |
21751 | Did n''t I tell you I''s de greatest hyperkrite as ever was born? |
21751 | Did n''t you say he was awrful t''in? |
21751 | Did you marry Angelica? |
21751 | Did you not once save the life of the Dey? |
21751 | Did you t''ink ob tellin''him all dat? |
21751 | Do Englishmen blush and stammer when they tell the truth? 21751 Do n''t you see de janissary? |
21751 | Do you forgive me, Hester? |
21751 | Do you know that I am an officer in the Navy of his Majesty the King of Great Britain? |
21751 | Do you know where she hides? |
21751 | Do you pound much? |
21751 | Do you think anything has happened, then? |
21751 | Do? |
21751 | Does it take you long to do this sort of thing? |
21751 | Does painting give Englishmen colds? |
21751 | Eben zough I_ is_ a` fool?'' |
21751 | For what purpose? |
21751 | Geo''ge Foster? |
21751 | Go whar? |
21751 | Has n''t I got eyes an''ears? |
21751 | Have you not just shown me that I am utterly helpless? 21751 Have you not understood me?" |
21751 | Have you, then, been long here? |
21751 | Have you, then, forsaken the faith of Mohammed and adopted that of Christ? |
21751 | How could I know, Peter, for you never call her anything but` cook?'' 21751 How is it that every one lets you pass so easily?" |
21751 | How kin I speak, Geo''ge, w''en I''s a''most busted wid runnin''out here to tell you? |
21751 | How you do, Missis Lilly? 21751 How? |
21751 | How? 21751 Hurt him not,"he said, raising his hand;"is not this his first offence?" |
21751 | I hope that all has gone well? |
21751 | I s''pose, sir, you have n''t a notion what sort o''plans that nigger has got in his head? |
21751 | I suppose you would say, sir, that unless it is done by me it wo n''t be done at all? |
21751 | If, instead of misery, you had been placed during the last twelve years in supreme felicity, would you have believed in a God? |
21751 | In what attitude do you wish to be painted? |
21751 | Indeed,said the middy, with a weary sigh;"what may your news be?" |
21751 | Indeed; how so? |
21751 | Indeed? 21751 Is Laronde better this morning?" |
21751 | Is Miss Sommers safe? |
21751 | Is all right? |
21751 | Is he dead? |
21751 | Is that all? |
21751 | Is the cellar far from this? |
21751 | Is this one dumb too? |
21751 | Is this true, Brown? 21751 Is this your return for my forbearance? |
21751 | Is your business a secret? |
21751 | May n''t I finish this operation first? |
21751 | No, indeed, I am sure you are not; but-- but, you-- you wo n''t betray me, Sally? |
21751 | No-- not great danger, I hope? |
21751 | Nor heard of or from him? |
21751 | Not in de house? |
21751 | Now, Dinah,said he, continuing an earnest conversation which had already lasted for some time,"you understand de case properly-- eh?" |
21751 | Now, Geo''ge, what you t''ink ob all dat? |
21751 | Now, den, sar,( to Foster),"w''en you goin''to move you stumps? |
21751 | Of course I know that, but_ how_ did she escape over the wall? |
21751 | Paradise, Peter? 21751 Pardon me, friend, whoever you are,"he said quickly,"I did not mean to-- I did not know-- are you badly hurt?" |
21751 | Security, Massa? 21751 So-- he was an Englishman that I treated so badly, eh?" |
21751 | Tell me,he said,"what is your father like?" |
21751 | That does indeed mound strange,returned Foster;"how has such a wonderful event been brought about?" |
21751 | Then she refused to go with you? |
21751 | Then why did n''t you tell me all, this before, and save me from a deal of uncertainty? |
21751 | There''s no fear of your friends going off without you, I suppose? |
21751 | Thin? 21751 W''ich am him? |
21751 | W''y not? 21751 Was it all fair an''above- board, Geo''ge, to kiss dat leetle gal when she was all alone and unpurtected? |
21751 | Was the slabe white or black? |
21751 | Well, den, is n''t dat''cause he not hab''nuff to eat? 21751 Well, when are we to go up?" |
21751 | Whas dat? |
21751 | What are you saying there? |
21751 | What d''ye t''ink ob dis one? |
21751 | What do you mean, Peter? |
21751 | What is that, Peter? |
21751 | What is that? |
21751 | What kep''you so long, Geo''ge? |
21751 | What say you, Laronde? |
21751 | What you bin do all dis time? |
21751 | What you say to dat feller? 21751 What''s wrong now?" |
21751 | What''s wrong, Peter? |
21751 | What_ can_ I do? |
21751 | When must I do it? |
21751 | Where did you make inquiries, George? |
21751 | Where is he? 21751 Where''s the other one?" |
21751 | Where-- oh, where? |
21751 | Who are you, and where do you come from? |
21751 | Who are you? 21751 Who''n all de wurld''s Eddard Larongd?" |
21751 | Why not take me to your own home? |
21751 | Why not? |
21751 | Why''s dat, Geo''ge? |
21751 | Why, Sally, dear, what''s the matter with you? |
21751 | Why, then, do you hesitate? |
21751 | Why? 21751 Wich is it you mean, massa, dis one?" |
21751 | Will you have some more? |
21751 | Would it not be well to keep Brown here till Ben- Ahmed returns? |
21751 | Yes, Dinah,said Hester, alarmed, notwithstanding, by the earnestness and solemnity of her new friend,"what am I to do?" |
21751 | Yes; has Foster had no hand in the matter? |
21751 | You are the British sailor,he said,"who rescued Hes-- Miss Sommers from the janissaries?" |
21751 | You call dis a skitch? 21751 You know something about this English girl?" |
21751 | You knows how to get to it? |
21751 | You not know Geo''ge? |
21751 | You 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? |
21751 | Another grain would bust up the hatches; but if I might ventur''to putt forth a wish now, a glass o''--no? |
21751 | Are you sure?" |
21751 | Besides, 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? |
21751 | But can you guess, Peter, why Ben- Ahmed behaved in the strange way he has done? |
21751 | But fust, let me ax-- you understan''de place among de rocks whar Brown''s mates and de boat am hidden?" |
21751 | But how shall we manage it? |
21751 | But how''s your poo''feet?" |
21751 | But let me ask, my friend, what will you do if you discover that she_ is_ your Hester?" |
21751 | But now tell me, Angelica, if my fortin''s made, will you marry me, an''help to spend it?'' |
21751 | But now, what''s dis you bin do here? |
21751 | But tell me, Angelica, who brought me here?'' |
21751 | But what about her father? |
21751 | But what could human muscle and human will, however powerful, do against a rampant nor''wester? |
21751 | But what if I do resist in spite of being whacked?" |
21751 | But what''s you got in de ceiling-- de sun, eh?" |
21751 | But who is Geo''ge?" |
21751 | But, if I mistake not, you are not unwilling to risk that?" |
21751 | But, now,"continued the poor little creature, while the troubled look returned to her eyebrows,"what_ is_ to be done?" |
21751 | But, tell me, are you really one of the crew of this pirate vessel?" |
21751 | Ca n''t you hold your tongue, you chatterin''monkey?" |
21751 | Ca n''t you see that if Hester''s father is a Bagnio slave there is no chance of her having found refuge with him?" |
21751 | Ca n''t you speak English?" |
21751 | Can you guess, I ask, Ben- Ahmed''s motive for acting so oddly?" |
21751 | Das de on''y way I kin--""Is that all you had to tell me?" |
21751 | Das so, Peter?" |
21751 | Das you, Peter de Great?" |
21751 | Dat 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?" |
21751 | Dee see dat?" |
21751 | Di''n''t I tell you before dat hub am eberyt''ing?" |
21751 | Did the middy, after all, marry Hester,_ alias_ Geo''giana Sommers? |
21751 | Did you cook it?" |
21751 | Did you know my father before meeting him here; and did he really render you some service?" |
21751 | Do I look like a gardener? |
21751 | Do tell me, and how I can help you, for we may be interrupted?" |
21751 | Do you know where the English girl hides?" |
21751 | Do you t''ink you''ll deliber your fadder from de Moors by feedin''him on biscuits an''_ hope_? |
21751 | Does you t''ink Sally''s an ass?" |
21751 | Don''you know it''s her as cooks all our wittles?" |
21751 | Going humbly towards this Arab, the negro asked him in Lingua Franca if there was anything unusual going on in the town? |
21751 | H.S? |
21751 | Hab you nebber seen a handsome nigger before dat you look all t''under- struck of a heap? |
21751 | Hab you neber seen slabes before? |
21751 | Has anything happened?" |
21751 | Has you got enuff?" |
21751 | He even added some amazing motions of the lips which were meant to convey--"What''s the matter with you?" |
21751 | He rose and returned to his easel while the gazelle trotted to its cushion and lay down-- to sleep? |
21751 | His knowledge of Spanish was about equal to that of an ill- trained parrot, but what of that? |
21751 | How came you to know that?" |
21751 | How can I escape, Peter, now that I have given my word of honour not to try?" |
21751 | How could it be otherwise with such an experience-- and such a wife? |
21751 | How could that do him any good?" |
21751 | How kin you speak so well if you''s dumb?" |
21751 | How''s that? |
21751 | How''s that? |
21751 | I did not know you were here-- else-- my veil-- but why should_ I_ mind such customs? |
21751 | I is n''t wuth killin'', an''w''en I''s gone, who''d cook for you like me? |
21751 | I-- I-- am_ very_ wicked, Sally, will you forgive me?" |
21751 | If she is taken are you willing to fight?" |
21751 | If the Moor should again succumb to the demands of nature-- or the influence of tobacco-- how could he best make use of the opportunity? |
21751 | Indeed I''s kite sure dat none ob de neighbours knows not''ing at all about dis Is-- Es-- w''at you call her? |
21751 | Is Hester safe?" |
21751 | Is he not, then, your husband?" |
21751 | Is it-- can it be Platonic love? |
21751 | Is it-- de-- de fortin?'' |
21751 | Is n''t dat security enough?" |
21751 | Is n''t that sinful?" |
21751 | Is she here also?" |
21751 | Is there anything the matter with you?" |
21751 | Is there no means of preventing her coming this way to- morrow?" |
21751 | Is there not a vast difference here?" |
21751 | Is you widin?" |
21751 | My father''s name is Hugh Sommers--""And yours?" |
21751 | Neptune, what do_ you_ want here?" |
21751 | No doubt it''s a roundabout way, but what ob dat? |
21751 | Not''ing done since I was here more an hour past-- eh, sar?" |
21751 | Nothing more, I suppose, is known about his fate?" |
21751 | Now you tell me that this girl was black-- a negress?" |
21751 | Peter, what are you doing? |
21751 | Tell on you? |
21751 | That is a letter from Minnie, is it not?" |
21751 | Then 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?" |
21751 | Then turning suddenly on Foster with a fierce expression, he shouted,"What you lookin''at, you babby- faced ijit? |
21751 | Was he not a Briton, whose chief characteristic is to go in for anything and stick at nothing? |
21751 | Was it all fair an''above- board to call her you dear_ chile_, as if you was her fadder?" |
21751 | Was you eber whacked on de sole ob your foots?" |
21751 | Well, what de way to get fat an''strong? |
21751 | What business hab you to come here widout washin''your white face clean?" |
21751 | What could this mean? |
21751 | What den? |
21751 | What do I care for her father, you fool?" |
21751 | What do you mean?" |
21751 | What do you mean?" |
21751 | What has happened?" |
21751 | What has he to do with it?" |
21751 | What is it?" |
21751 | What is we to do about poo''Hester''s fadder w''en he''s pardoned? |
21751 | What then? |
21751 | What will you do?" |
21751 | What''s de end ob all dis to come to? |
21751 | Where have we got to?" |
21751 | Who and where is your father? |
21751 | Why d''you keep me in such anxiety? |
21751 | Why do n''t you trust God all through?" |
21751 | Why do they do that?" |
21751 | Why do they go to so much expense in such a place as this?" |
21751 | Why do you ask? |
21751 | Why should you be anxious?" |
21751 | Why-- why could you not have waited just one minute to let me look at him?" |
21751 | Will you be down soon?" |
21751 | Will you come out a momint? |
21751 | Will you now refuse me this man''s life?'' |
21751 | With my father''s permission, I suppose?" |
21751 | Wo n''t the guards see us doing it?" |
21751 | Would n''t it be a good plan for you to go into town at once and make inquiry?" |
21751 | Would you oblige me by putting your foot on that centipede? |
21751 | You are an Englishman, I think?" |
21751 | You do n''t want to appear too friendly? |
21751 | You know de Kasba?" |
21751 | You know what a Radical is, I suppose?" |
21751 | You see de bit ob wall dat''s damaged dere? |
21751 | You understand, Geo''ge?" |
21751 | You want de horses, eh?" |
21751 | You wo n''t tell on me,_ dear_ Sally-- won''t you not?" |
21751 | Your name?" |
21751 | Yours?" |
21751 | _ What_ did you hear?" |
21751 | ` You wo n''t tell, will you?'' |
21751 | answered 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?" |
21751 | cried Hester, drying her eyes somewhat impatiently;"how_ could_ you be so cruel? |
21751 | demanded Hester, with a slight touch of indignation;"could you not have suffered a little whipping for my sake?" |
21751 | do n''t I know all that? |
21751 | exclaimed Hester, in quite a frightened tone;"how did you find that out?" |
21751 | exclaimed the latter, in stern tones, as they came up,"what you bin about, sar? |
21751 | exclaimed the negro,"what you bin up to-- makin''picturs?" |
21751 | he exclaimed fiercely,"did you hear me speak? |
21751 | he exclaimed, glancing from the girl to her sire,"what mystery have we here? |
21751 | he exclaimed;"how are you and Angelica to get on shore?" |
21751 | how''s you all git along down dar?" |
21751 | love a man whom you have described to me as the most obstinate fellow you ever knew?" |
21751 | repeated the Frenchman, who was the first to recover from his astonishment,"are we not still slaves?" |
21751 | says I;` wass de matter?'' |
21751 | she cried, thrusting Hester quickly down into the coffee- hole;"how you s''pose massa git his dollars if you not work? |
21751 | she said, seizing the middy''s hand, and kissing it,"how shall I_ ever_ thank you?" |
21751 | what shall I do?" |
21751 | what you bin doin''? |
21751 | where did you come from? |
21751 | wo n''t you?" |
21751 | you know what dat means if it found out?" |
21751 | you not know what de Kasba am? |
21751 | you wo n''t come to me?" |
19108 | Ach men sebba jit lhena, ia Sidi?--Why have you come here, sir? |
19108 | And he''s never been found out? |
19108 | And her promise that she''d take you away with her? |
19108 | And if there''s a conspiracy of silence in Algiers, why not elsewhere? |
19108 | And my sister? |
19108 | And the message was that she was leaving your hotel? |
19108 | And thou, Si Maïeddine, dost thou think, truly, that a black angel walks ever at thy left side? |
19108 | And wilt thou lead in the right way? 19108 And you, Monsieur?" |
19108 | Anything new? |
19108 | Are n''t you thankful, Saidee? 19108 Are you better?" |
19108 | Are you better? |
19108 | Are you engaged to each other? |
19108 | Are you going to faint? 19108 Are you going to tell me the marriage was n''t a success?" |
19108 | Art thou impatient for the end? |
19108 | Art thou not very wet and miserable? |
19108 | Art thou strong enough for a journey, Lella M''Barka? |
19108 | Art thou tired already of this new way of travelling, that thou askest me a question thou hast not once asked since we started? |
19108 | Aunt Caroline''s rather a dear, is n''t she? |
19108 | Because he defended the honour of our grandfather, and upheld his own rights, when Mr. Lorenzi came to England to dispute them? |
19108 | But I think thou didst not send for me to ask these questions? |
19108 | But about the scandal that drove Ben Halim away? |
19108 | But 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?" |
19108 | But how can you see, unless you know something about me already? |
19108 | But if thou shouldst not teach her? |
19108 | But if you know he has n''t? |
19108 | But is not that the same thing as giving life? |
19108 | But my sister? |
19108 | But 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? |
19108 | But there''s no use pretending, is there? 19108 But why ca n''t I bribe him?" |
19108 | But why should they lie? |
19108 | But you find now it could? |
19108 | But you-- aren''t you Arab? |
19108 | But, since thou hast my word to be silent, surely thou wilt tell me where lies the end of the journey we must take? |
19108 | But-- would they have begun to work again, if soldiers were coming? |
19108 | But-- you are glad-- now I''m here? |
19108 | By instinct, you mean-- telepathy, or something of that sort? |
19108 | Ca n''t we tell, the first thing, that we''ve come from Algiers with a present for the bride? |
19108 | Ca n''t we? |
19108 | Ca n''t you find your servant? |
19108 | Ca n''t you here? |
19108 | Ca n''t you tell us how to find it? |
19108 | Can motors go farther? |
19108 | Can you forgive me? |
19108 | Can you tell us of the scandal, or-- would you rather not talk of the subject? |
19108 | Canst thou tell me nothing of her, Lella M''Barka? |
19108 | Darest thou to tell me that thou lovest a man? |
19108 | Did I surprise you? |
19108 | Did 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? |
19108 | Did n''t you believe it? |
19108 | Did n''t you know? |
19108 | Did she keep to her own religion? |
19108 | Did she say when she would be back? |
19108 | Did she tell you her name? |
19108 | Did the marabout appoint Toudja as the place to make the exchange, or was it you? |
19108 | Did you guess why I was sorry? |
19108 | Did you know anybody in New York? |
19108 | Did you never hear the name of any town that was near? |
19108 | Did you see that fellow in the red cloak? |
19108 | Did-- the marabout seem bent on making this bordj the rendezvous? |
19108 | Didst thou ever hear the name of Cassim ben Halim? |
19108 | Do Arab men always succeed as teachers? |
19108 | Do children of the present day still go down the rabbit hole? |
19108 | Do n''t you mean to stop? |
19108 | Do n''t you now? |
19108 | Do you ever see any here? |
19108 | Do you know him? |
19108 | Do you know who Cassim-- as you call him-- is? |
19108 | Do you lack a Roc''s egg for yours? |
19108 | Do you really like it all? |
19108 | Do you really mean, when you say we--_we_ shall be happy poor, that you''ll marry me in spite of all? |
19108 | Do you remember if she spoke of a sister? |
19108 | Do you see more clearly, now that at last you''ve come to Africa? |
19108 | Do you think so? 19108 Do you think they''re from the Zaouïa?" |
19108 | Do 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? |
19108 | Do you wonder now,Nevill asked,"that it''s difficult to find out what goes on in an Arab''s household?" |
19108 | Does Nevill see or hear? |
19108 | Does the marabout who has the gift of Baraka live near the place where I must go to find my sister? |
19108 | Does_ she_ know that there will be three weeks or more of travelling? |
19108 | Dost thou love Si Maïeddine? |
19108 | Dost thou need to tell me that? |
19108 | Dost 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?" |
19108 | Dost thou really believe such a thing? |
19108 | Dost thou think it odd? 19108 Everything of yours, too?" |
19108 | Good Heavens, why? |
19108 | Good heavens, what is he going to do with that? |
19108 | Has Sidi Bou- Medine the power to cure all sorrows? |
19108 | Has she been gone long? |
19108 | Hast thou spoken of it to him? |
19108 | Have I frightened you? 19108 Have I kept you waiting long?" |
19108 | Have n''t you? |
19108 | Have you a special reason for asking? |
19108 | Have you given up hope, in your heart? |
19108 | Have you had tea? |
19108 | Have your people engaged the cab already,he wanted to know,"or are they waiting in this room for you?" |
19108 | Her French nose? |
19108 | How about getting a chill? |
19108 | How am I to explain-- to beg her forgiveness? |
19108 | How can I help you? |
19108 | How can he revenge himself? 19108 How could it come to you?" |
19108 | How did you manage it? |
19108 | How did you persuade him to that point of view? |
19108 | How do you do? |
19108 | How long before they can break through? |
19108 | How many days now,she asked suddenly,"will the journey last?" |
19108 | I 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? |
19108 | I suppose Mrs. Ray managed to keep most of poor father''s money? |
19108 | I suppose they''ve horses and meharis waiting for them outside the bordj? |
19108 | I suppose you think I''m doing wrong to write to him? |
19108 | I wonder if there''s to be a signal? |
19108 | I wonder if you''ll still feel so when you''ve married a man of another race-- as I have? |
19108 | I wonder----"What? 19108 I wonder?" |
19108 | I''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? |
19108 | I-- miserable? |
19108 | I-- who am privileged to feast upon the deglet nour, in my desert? |
19108 | I? 19108 If I could, I----""What, dearest?" |
19108 | If I did not use that word, did I not give thee to understand the same thing? |
19108 | If 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?" |
19108 | If I_ could_ get you away, would you give him up-- until you were free to go to him without spoiling both your lives? |
19108 | If she were merely going there to inquire about her sister, why should she have to make a mystery of her movements? |
19108 | In Algiers? |
19108 | In South Africa? |
19108 | In a cab? |
19108 | In case of an attack? |
19108 | Is he at home? |
19108 | Is it an Arab''s house? |
19108 | Is it disloyal to love? |
19108 | Is it late? 19108 Is it like what you expected?" |
19108 | Is it possible that his wife lies beside him? |
19108 | Is it what you thought it would be? |
19108 | Is n''t that what people say who preach New Thought, or whatever they call it? |
19108 | Is she happy? |
19108 | Is there any one thing in this world you want above everything else? |
19108 | Is there such a thing as Arab society? |
19108 | Is there then one of thine own people whom thou lovest as a lover, Rose of the West? |
19108 | Is this the one? |
19108 | It is a truce between us? |
19108 | It is certain, then, that Ben Halim is dead? |
19108 | La Sidi, el Caïd? |
19108 | Legs, where are you? |
19108 | Let all that alone, wo n''t you? |
19108 | Let''s_ both_ remember that-- eh? |
19108 | Like sheep, they might follow a leader; but where is the leader? 19108 May I dance for you to that music, Lella Alonda?" |
19108 | May I talk to you for a little while this afternoon? |
19108 | Must we go back to Algiers, or can we get to Bou- Saada from here? |
19108 | Must you go? |
19108 | My men and my friend''s men? 19108 Not as a lover, oh Roumia?" |
19108 | Now, what sort of reception will they give us? 19108 Oh, Saidee, how can I?" |
19108 | Only, what can I do? 19108 Saidee-- he would never have murdered you?" |
19108 | Seeing an old friend does n''t count, then? |
19108 | Shall I really? 19108 Shall we send a note to her hotel, or shall we stroll down after dinner?" |
19108 | She had left here before six o''clock last evening, had n''t she? |
19108 | She let you know eventually that she''d made up her mind to go altogether? |
19108 | She ought n''t to have much trouble getting on to his trail, should you think? |
19108 | She''s coming back immediately? |
19108 | She''s like a dark sister of Notre Dame de la Garde, who watches over Marseilles, is n''t she? 19108 She''s poor?" |
19108 | So Paris wo n''t be a new experience to you? |
19108 | So that''s what you told him? |
19108 | So you think we''ve made a long journey for nothing, Mademoiselle Josette? |
19108 | Sure you could n''t mistake it? 19108 Surely you can remember where you went, and how you went, on leaving the farmhouse?" |
19108 | Ta''rafi el- a''riya?--Do you speak Arabic? |
19108 | That he shut her up? |
19108 | That means you''ll give me back your confidence, does n''t it? |
19108 | The boy? |
19108 | The deglet nour? |
19108 | The motion of thy beast gives thee no discomfort? |
19108 | The rest? |
19108 | The thing is, what would make you happy? |
19108 | Then do you mind so dreadfully having people know you''ve asked me to marry you, and that I''ve said''yes''? |
19108 | Then perhaps no one ever knew, out here, that the man had brought home a foreign wife? |
19108 | There is no mystery about her? 19108 Thou canst rest in thy bassour?" |
19108 | Thou dost not mean that she''s shut up, and no man allowed to see her? |
19108 | Thou hast not forgotten thy promise of silence? |
19108 | Thou hast travelled much, even more than the marabout himself, hast thou not? |
19108 | Thou knowest we have the same word for horse and citadel in Arabic? 19108 Thou meanest, the secret about Cassim, my sister''s husband?" |
19108 | Thou wert happy alone? |
19108 | Thou wilt let me go back to M''Barka? |
19108 | Thou wouldst not, then, that the desert speak to thee with its tongue of sand out of the wisdom of all ages? |
19108 | To help you-- in Algiers? |
19108 | Was it a plot against the French? |
19108 | Was there any other lady in that house,Nevill ventured,"or was yours the master''s only wife?" |
19108 | We''d better stop to- day, anyhow, on the chance; do n''t you think so, Stephen? 19108 Well?" |
19108 | Were n''t you drawn into any of our little ways in London? |
19108 | What a pity Knight did n''t see it in that light-- what? |
19108 | What about the Arabs? |
19108 | What about your teachers? 19108 What ails thee?" |
19108 | What are you going to do? |
19108 | What can I do for you? |
19108 | What can it be to them? |
19108 | What can it matter so long as he does yield? |
19108 | What can it mean? |
19108 | What canst thou do? |
19108 | What canst thou know, which I do not know already? |
19108 | What did she say? |
19108 | What did you tell Miss Ray? |
19108 | What didst thou see? |
19108 | What do you mean? |
19108 | What do you mean? |
19108 | What do you think, Wings? |
19108 | What does he say? |
19108 | What dost thou mean? |
19108 | What good will it do you-- or us-- that he is coming? |
19108 | What happened when you got to your journey''s end? |
19108 | What harm can happen to me? |
19108 | What have you decided to do? |
19108 | What 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? |
19108 | What if they''re behind the barricade, watching? |
19108 | What incentive have I to be true to Cassim? |
19108 | What is the golden silence like? |
19108 | What is the matter? |
19108 | What is the one thing? |
19108 | What is there to notice? |
19108 | What shall we do? |
19108 | What then? |
19108 | What thing? |
19108 | What wilt thou do if I say I will not be thy wife? |
19108 | What would it matter, if it were to the end of the world? |
19108 | What wouldst thou have me do? |
19108 | What''s going to happen now? |
19108 | What''s the matter? 19108 What, you came here by El Aghouat and Ghardaia?" |
19108 | What-- is there no more? |
19108 | What-- that angel_ jealous_? 19108 When can you start?" |
19108 | When did you find out about-- about all this? |
19108 | When do you want to sail? |
19108 | Where are the Arabs? |
19108 | Where are the others? |
19108 | Where can everybody be? |
19108 | Where did it go? 19108 Where does he come from?" |
19108 | Where is he going? 19108 Where is she?" |
19108 | Whereabouts was this farmhouse? |
19108 | Which is he, fool or hero? |
19108 | Which star is it? |
19108 | Which way are they flying? |
19108 | Who can have sent them to my house? |
19108 | Who can tell? 19108 Who he is?" |
19108 | Who knows if an answer came? |
19108 | Who knows if they_ were_ his rights, or my father''s? 19108 Who was the cruel master?" |
19108 | Who? |
19108 | Why cruel, oh Roumia? 19108 Why do n''t you suggest fainting in coils? |
19108 | Why do they not blow us up? |
19108 | Why do you say''poor?'' |
19108 | Why does n''t some one come in and steal? |
19108 | Why not indeed? 19108 Why not, if we''ve found out all we can from this girl?" |
19108 | Why not? |
19108 | Why 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? |
19108 | Why should n''t you write to say you''re safe? 19108 Why should the marabout care what I do?" |
19108 | Why 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? |
19108 | Why this last month? |
19108 | Why, do you think the case is hopeless? |
19108 | Why, what have you got to do? |
19108 | Why, you flinty- hearted reprobate? |
19108 | Why,explained Stephen,"when a young and successful actress makes up her mind to leave the stage, what is the usual reason?" |
19108 | Why? |
19108 | Why? |
19108 | Will it be ten minutes? |
19108 | Will you invite me to dine at your table? |
19108 | Will you lend the mirror to me-- or do you value it too much to risk having it smashed? |
19108 | Will you let me lend you a rug? |
19108 | Will you tell him and my father what your business is with Mouni? |
19108 | Wilt thou sit down? |
19108 | Wilt 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? |
19108 | Wo n''t you wait until after Mr. Caird has come, and you can tell about the little boy? |
19108 | Would n''t they spread out, and hope to surprise us? |
19108 | Would n''t you come into bed? |
19108 | Would the time immediately after dinner suit Mademoiselle, for Si Maïeddine to pay his respects? |
19108 | Would they come like that, if they wanted to fight? |
19108 | Would you like to be married in Canada? |
19108 | Would you like to come outside the gate and look? |
19108 | Would you mind-- telling me how soon? |
19108 | Would you recognize them? |
19108 | Wouldst thou take me if-- if I love another man? |
19108 | You are sure? |
19108 | You care-- a little-- what becomes of me? |
19108 | You danced for them? |
19108 | You have rooms already taken at an hotel, I hope? |
19108 | You mean, dear, you would n''t have let me move? 19108 You mean-- Cassim?" |
19108 | You mean-- I look old-- haggard? |
19108 | You really mean it? |
19108 | You see? |
19108 | You think, then, he would have shut her up? |
19108 | You will come? |
19108 | You''ll go to sleep, wo n''t you?--or would you rather talk-- while you''re eating, perhaps? |
19108 | You''ll wire me from the end of the world, wo n''t you? |
19108 | You''re not-- pulling my leg? |
19108 | You''ve heard? |
19108 | You''ve never heard from your sister since then? |
19108 | You''ve telegraphed to Tlemcen that Nevill is ill? |
19108 | Your 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?" |
19108 | A wheel- like thing, set with jewels?" |
19108 | Am I right?" |
19108 | And 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?" |
19108 | And can it be that my prop will fail me at the last moment?" |
19108 | And for thyself, wouldst thou know what awaits thee in the future?" |
19108 | And oh, Stephen, you wo n''t change your mind while I''m gone? |
19108 | And perhaps you noticed the rifles her''leddyship''provided them with at Touggourt?" |
19108 | And she? |
19108 | And what do you say to our surprise,--the twins? |
19108 | Are n''t they splendid? |
19108 | Are 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?" |
19108 | Are they still standing outside the gates, watching the boy and his caravan?" |
19108 | Are you happier?" |
19108 | Are you so weak as to believe, just because you''re hurt and suffering, that such messages between hearts mean nothing? |
19108 | As 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? |
19108 | At last, the only question left in his mind was,"When?" |
19108 | But I suppose you have n''t any fad of that kind, eh?" |
19108 | But at last she said, in a whisper, as if her lips were dry:"Did you know I was sorry you''d come?" |
19108 | But do n''t you think I should have_ known_ if Saidee were dead?" |
19108 | But how do you mean?" |
19108 | But in the circumstances, why be conspicuous? |
19108 | But now-- now----""Are things better? |
19108 | But now-- what are we to do? |
19108 | But since no one else knows, why should the secret leak out? |
19108 | But surely you were n''t miserable from the very first, with-- with Cassim?" |
19108 | But what''s the use of talking about it? |
19108 | But would he forgive her for writing to him? |
19108 | But would the Agha yield to his influence? |
19108 | But-- but----""But what? |
19108 | But-- do you mean-- have you married again?" |
19108 | But-- may I tell?" |
19108 | Ca n''t you see it?" |
19108 | Can I go out into the air-- not where the orange blossoms are?" |
19108 | Can she get on without them?" |
19108 | Could an Arab be_ very_ rich?" |
19108 | Could he have found out in any way, that you were acquainted with Maïeddine?" |
19108 | Could it be possible that Mademoiselle Soubise, interested in the story, had called and taken the girl away? |
19108 | Could it be that she had never called in spirit to her sister? |
19108 | Could n''t he have done anything?" |
19108 | Did n''t you know I''d come when I could?" |
19108 | Did n''t your brother wire for you the minute he saw that announcement in_ The Morning Post_, day before yesterday?" |
19108 | Did they never find you out?" |
19108 | Did this Arab art perhaps more truly express the fervour of faith which needs no extraneous elaborations, because it has no doubts? |
19108 | Did you find out that?" |
19108 | Did you get any news of her?" |
19108 | Did you like it?" |
19108 | Did you notice a queer brooch that held his cloak together? |
19108 | Did you see them go?" |
19108 | Didst thou ever hear of her?" |
19108 | Do n''t they mean to receive me, when we''re married?" |
19108 | Do n''t you hear shots?" |
19108 | Do n''t you see, now that you''re here, there are a hundred more reasons why I must say''yes''to Captain Sabine?" |
19108 | Do n''t you think so?" |
19108 | Do you feel it? |
19108 | Do you know many people in Algeria, or Tunisia?" |
19108 | Do you mean you will be-- if you ever get away from this place?" |
19108 | Do you remember the beads Miss Ray bought of Miss Soubise, and wore to your house?" |
19108 | Do you see why she wo n''t marry me? |
19108 | Do you think_ she_ would like me to see her now?" |
19108 | Do you wonder I worshipped her-- that I just_ could n''t_ let her go out of my life forever?" |
19108 | Does Maïeddine know about him?" |
19108 | Does n''t it sound agonizing-- desperate? |
19108 | Does not this prove my good faith? |
19108 | Does that plan of mine fit in with yours, Monsieur?" |
19108 | Does the child speak French?" |
19108 | Dost thou consent? |
19108 | Dost thou mean to- day?" |
19108 | Dost thou understand?" |
19108 | Dost thou wish to ruin him who risks his whole future to content thee?" |
19108 | Dost thou, Roumia?" |
19108 | Else, why do the men of the M''Zab country break their hearts to dig deep wells? |
19108 | Even if thou couldst reach M''Barka, of what use to grasp her dress and cry to her for help against me? |
19108 | Even you, a child like you, must see that?" |
19108 | For thy sentimental folly wilt thou sacrifice thy people''s future and ruin my son and me?" |
19108 | Had he just seen a sign? |
19108 | Hast thou not seen men spitting to the left, to show despite of their black angels? |
19108 | Have n''t you, in yours?" |
19108 | Have the Arabs all gone?" |
19108 | Have you not heard of him, Monsieur Nevill? |
19108 | Have you thought of something?" |
19108 | Have you told him there are things here as wonderful as in the Alhambra itself, things made by the Moors who were in Granada?" |
19108 | He does n''t seem to notice us, but who knows? |
19108 | He knows that already, unless----""Unless what? |
19108 | How can I let him go away without a word? |
19108 | How could any one have got into your rooms without our seeing them pass through the garden?" |
19108 | How do you do, Mr. Knight? |
19108 | How much less didst thou trust me?" |
19108 | How much of this was lies and how much truth? |
19108 | How should you? |
19108 | How they do it, who can tell? |
19108 | I do n''t think there''ll be any harm in our not trying to forget, do you?" |
19108 | I hope to goodness----""What?" |
19108 | I love being in gardens, do n''t you? |
19108 | I should n''t dare send the pigeon now, for fear----""For fear of what?" |
19108 | I suppose he''s a sort of watch- dog, who could n''t be persuaded to leave the boy alone a minute?" |
19108 | I used to be quite a good sort of girl; but what can you expect after ten years shut up in a Mussulman harem? |
19108 | I''d been signalling----""From the broken tower?" |
19108 | I''m not dreaming you?" |
19108 | I-- how are you going to get away again?" |
19108 | I----""A thought about my dancing?" |
19108 | I----""You heard in Algiers that Cassim had died in Constantinople?" |
19108 | I_ thought_ myself married, but was I, when he had a wife already? |
19108 | If I give thee thy desire, wilt thou not forget, when it is already thine?" |
19108 | If Si Maïeddine wore it in Algiers, and Mr. Knight saw----""Would he be likely to recognize it, do you think?" |
19108 | If you knew I were being tortured, and you could save me by marrying Maïeddine, what would you do?" |
19108 | Is it likely he''ll let you and me go free to tell secrets that would ruin him and his hopes for ever?" |
19108 | Is it only our imagination-- a reaction after strain, or is it that a presentiment of something to happen hangs over us?" |
19108 | Is it some kind of henna grown in thy country, which dyes it that beautiful colour?" |
19108 | Is it wise to use her as an argument?" |
19108 | Is n''t that the best way?" |
19108 | Is the woman ready to take her?" |
19108 | Is there any other way out?" |
19108 | It makes one put two and two together, does it not?" |
19108 | It''s just as if they''d passed on word, the way chupatties are passed on in India, eh? |
19108 | Miss Lorenzi was in the Palm Court, and would Mr. Knight please come to her there? |
19108 | Nevill exclaimed, heartily,"What news?" |
19108 | Now do you begin to understand the mystery?" |
19108 | Now he asked Victoria if she would like him to make inquiries about Ben Halim''s past as a Spahi? |
19108 | Now, do you still say I ought to consider myself married to Cassim, and refuse to take any happiness if I can get it?" |
19108 | Now, do you think there''s any harm in a girl of my age being alone in a hotel? |
19108 | Oh, darling, do n''t be angry, will you? |
19108 | Only if you''re not afraid of things, they ca n''t hurt you, can they?" |
19108 | Or is it the women they are after?" |
19108 | Or she may have found out about Mouni in some other way, and have gone to see her in Grand Kabylia-- who knows?" |
19108 | Otherwise, what was the good of him to her? |
19108 | Perhaps I ought n''t to have listened, but why not?" |
19108 | Reason is only to depend on in scientific sorts of things, is n''t it? |
19108 | Saidee-- did you think of me sometimes, when you were standing here on this roof?" |
19108 | Shall I come to you about half- past five?" |
19108 | Shall I stop, or go on?" |
19108 | Since the girl seemed glad to see him, why should n''t he be glad to see her? |
19108 | Soldiers, certainly: but were they from the north or south? |
19108 | Stephen the First was a martyr too, was n''t he? |
19108 | Stephen waited with outward patience, though a loud voice seemed crying in his ears,"What will happen next? |
19108 | Surely it was?" |
19108 | Surely our marriage would n''t be considered legal in any country outside Islam, would it? |
19108 | That woman I thought I cared for-- may I tell you what she was like? |
19108 | That''s what you wish, too, is n''t it, Saidee?" |
19108 | The chance is given thee----""What then?" |
19108 | The tension increased as the day went on; still, no one had said to another,"What is there so strange about to- day? |
19108 | Then why did Si Maïeddine bring you by El Aghouat and Ghardaia-- especially when his cousin''s an invalid? |
19108 | Then, at last, the girl said:"Will you tell me something about this man?" |
19108 | There was only one_ femme de chambre_, but what would you? |
19108 | This poor girl loves you?" |
19108 | Thou hast concealed nothing which concerns Saidee?" |
19108 | Thou wilt of course pay thine own respects to the Governor? |
19108 | Thou wishest above all things to see thy sister?" |
19108 | Was it he who put into thine head these ridiculous notions concerning a dead man? |
19108 | Was n''t that enough?" |
19108 | Was this the house of her father? |
19108 | Was this to be a reprieve? |
19108 | Weird, is n''t it? |
19108 | Were n''t you comfortable with Mrs. Middleton? |
19108 | Were n''t you? |
19108 | Were you-- does she expect to be married soon?" |
19108 | What am I to do for my dinner, and ladies in the bordj for the first time? |
19108 | What can you expect of a girl who had an Italian prima donna for a grandmother? |
19108 | What could Si Maïeddine''s reason have been? |
19108 | What could it matter whether such a radiantly happy being were young or old? |
19108 | What do you hear?" |
19108 | What do you say?" |
19108 | What do you say?" |
19108 | What effect had that on him?" |
19108 | What else can I do?" |
19108 | What had become of Ben Halim''s American wife? |
19108 | What if I ride to one of the black tents, and ask for water to wash the mouth of my horse? |
19108 | What if already Si Maïeddine was bringing her to Saidee? |
19108 | What if he is killed?" |
19108 | What if this were the high white place? |
19108 | What power has he to do that?" |
19108 | What shall I do? |
19108 | What waited for her behind that door? |
19108 | What was happening up there on the hill, behind the gates which stood half open? |
19108 | What was it?" |
19108 | What was she, then, if not happy? |
19108 | What was the use of making herself wretched? |
19108 | What was your manager thinking about?" |
19108 | What were a few days more, after so many years? |
19108 | What were those lines of Christina Rossetti''s I used to say over to myself at first, while it still seemed worth while to revolt? |
19108 | What will the end be-- success, or a sudden fluke that will mean failure?" |
19108 | What would she do-- his Rose of the West? |
19108 | What would you have more?" |
19108 | What 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?" |
19108 | When wilt thou start?" |
19108 | Where could she, who had no other friends than they, and no chaperon, go at night? |
19108 | Which among our horrid Eastern foods do you hate least?" |
19108 | White Rose, where art thou? |
19108 | Who could tell? |
19108 | Who could tell? |
19108 | Why do you look horrified?" |
19108 | Why dost thou wish to frighten me now?" |
19108 | Why had he not mentioned in the evening that the young lady had driven away with luggage? |
19108 | Why is n''t he afraid to let us go, without any assurances?" |
19108 | Why not?" |
19108 | Why should he mind? |
19108 | Why should he put himself out? |
19108 | Why should not Saidee be curious to hear the end part first, and go back gradually? |
19108 | Why, what else could you expect, when you come to look at it?" |
19108 | Will it be half an hour?" |
19108 | Will you come down to the cellar to look at it?" |
19108 | Will you give me the mirror?" |
19108 | Will you go and see what the creature wants?" |
19108 | Will you talk to me again-- and let me talk to you?" |
19108 | Will you tell me what you wished?" |
19108 | Will you tell the man to go to 278A Rue Washington, and the other cab to follow?" |
19108 | Wilt thou be angry or pleased if I sing thee a love- song of the desert?" |
19108 | Wilt thou do that, for his sake, and for mine?" |
19108 | Wilt thou give me thy word, O White Rose of another land, that thou wilt keep thine own counsel?" |
19108 | Wilt thou hold thyself free of engagements with thy European friends, until I bring news?" |
19108 | Wilt thou that she exercise it for thee to- night, when we camp?" |
19108 | Wings, do you think you could work up the boy to a wild desire for a tour in a motor- car?" |
19108 | With a lady? |
19108 | Would Monsieur care to visit the mosque again, and would he drink coffee? |
19108 | Would any lawyer, or even clergyman, say it was a legal marriage?" |
19108 | Would he help her, and save her life? |
19108 | Would he send them away? |
19108 | Would his face wear such an expression as Nevill''s wore at this moment? |
19108 | Would she like to see Djenan el Hadj? |
19108 | Would she see Saidee, after all these years of separation? |
19108 | Would she turn from him, if he broke the tacit compact of loyal friendship which had made her trust him as a guide? |
19108 | Would they be permitted to speak with her, and give this little watch from Algiers? |
19108 | Would you like to start now?" |
19108 | Would you say that was enough to_ bribe_ a person, if necessary? |
19108 | Wouldst thou hold a dead girl in thine arms?" |
19108 | XXXII"Dost thou wish me to hate thee, Si Maïeddine?" |
19108 | Yet what would you? |
19108 | Yet who has seen the book of the writing? |
19108 | You are sure of what they really were?" |
19108 | You can at least tell that?" |
19108 | You knew I would come some day, did n''t you?" |
19108 | You know I''m giving a dinner to- morrow night to a few people?" |
19108 | You must anyhow suspect there''s a secret?" |
19108 | You understand, do n''t you?" |
19108 | You would n''t have me separate you from him, would you?" |
19108 | You''re sure you wo n''t let your brother and that cruel Duchess talk you over? |
19108 | You''re sure?" |
19108 | You''ve spared me the trouble of taking her advice----""What was it?" |
19108 | You-- 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?" |
19108 | and then, if there''s no news of her when we get back to Algiers, go on to interview the bride in Grand Kabylia?" |
19108 | does that please you?" |
3296 | Is that it? |
3296 | No,they say;"What then? |
3296 | What ails us? |
3296 | What then? 3296 What then?" |
3296 | What will ye say then, O ye gainsayers? 3296 What?" |
3296 | Where 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?" |
3296 | is God bounded by a bodily shape, and has hairs and nails? |
3296 | that it was idly said, and without meaning? |
3296 | ( for to such creatures, is this food due;) what is it that feeds thee? |
3296 | A man hath murdered another; why? |
3296 | Again, if he asked had I rather be such as he was, or what I then was? |
3296 | Am I not then myself, O Lord my God? |
3296 | Am I then doubtful of myself in this matter? |
3296 | Ambition, what seeks it, but honours and glory? |
3296 | Ambrose has no leisure; we have no leisure to read; where shall we find even the books? |
3296 | And 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?" |
3296 | And I said,"Is Truth therefore nothing because it is not diffused through space finite or infinite?" |
3296 | And I said,"Lord, is not this Thy Scripture true, since Thou art true, and being Truth, hast set it forth? |
3296 | And I turned myself unto myself, and said to myself,"Who art thou?" |
3296 | And doth not a soul, sighing after such fictions, commit fornication against Thee, trust in things unreal, and feed the wind? |
3296 | And 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? |
3296 | And how have they injured Thee? |
3296 | And how shall I call upon my God, my God and Lord, since, when I call for Him, I shall be calling Him to myself? |
3296 | And how shall I find Thee, if I remember Thee not? |
3296 | And if any should ask me,"How knowest thou?" |
3296 | And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man''s, who shall give you that which is your own? |
3296 | And is this the innocence of boyhood? |
3296 | And is, then one part of Thee greater, another less? |
3296 | And she smiled on me with a persuasive mockery, as would she say,"Canst not thou what these youths, what these maidens can? |
3296 | And that very long one do I measure as present, seeing I measure it not till it be ended? |
3296 | And the prophet cries out, How long, slow of heart? |
3296 | And then mark how he excites himself to lust as by celestial authority:"And what God? |
3296 | And this changeableness, what is it? |
3296 | And to what end? |
3296 | And to what purpose? |
3296 | And what can be unlooked- for by Thee, Who knowest all things? |
3296 | And what could I so ill endure, or, when I detected it, upbraided I so fiercely, as that I was doing to others? |
3296 | And what had I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? |
3296 | And what have we, that we have not received of Thee? |
3296 | And what is it to have silence there, but to have no sound there? |
3296 | And what is like unto Thy Word, our Lord, who endureth in Himself without becoming old, and maketh all things new? |
3296 | And what is this? |
3296 | And what man can teach man to understand this? |
3296 | And what more monstrous than to affirm things to become better by losing all their good? |
3296 | And 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? |
3296 | And what was it that I delighted in, but to love, and be loved? |
3296 | And what was it which they suggested in that I said,"this or that,"what did they suggest, O my God? |
3296 | And what, O Lord, was she with so many tears asking of Thee, but that Thou wouldest not suffer me to sail? |
3296 | And what, among all parts of the world can be found nearer to an absolute formlessness, than earth and deep? |
3296 | And when shall I have time to rehearse all Thy great benefits towards us at that time, especially when hasting on to yet greater mercies? |
3296 | And when shall that be? |
3296 | And whence does that present itself, but out of the memory itself? |
3296 | And 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? |
3296 | And whence should he be able to do this, unless Thou hadst made that mind? |
3296 | And whence should they be, hadst not Thou appointed them? |
3296 | And where do I recognise it, but in the memory itself? |
3296 | And where shall I find Thee? |
3296 | And where should that be, which it containeth not of itself? |
3296 | And where would have been those her so strong and unceasing prayers, unintermitting to Thee alone? |
3296 | And whither, when the heaven and the earth are filled, pourest Thou forth the remainder of Thyself? |
3296 | And who but Thou could be the workmaster of such wonders? |
3296 | And who denies past things to be now no longer? |
3296 | And who denieth the present time hath no space, because it passeth away in a moment? |
3296 | And who has any right to speak against it, if just punishment follow the sinner? |
3296 | And who is He but our God? |
3296 | And who is he, O Lord, who is not some whit transported beyond the limits of necessity? |
3296 | And who is sufficient for these things? |
3296 | And who is this but our God, the God that made heaven and earth, and filleth them, because by filling them He created them? |
3296 | And who leaveth Thee, whither goeth or whither fleeth he, but from Thee well- pleased, to Thee displeased? |
3296 | And who there knew him not? |
3296 | And whose but Thine were these words which by my mother, Thy faithful one, Thou sangest in my ears? |
3296 | And why seek I now in what place thereof Thou dwellest, as if there were places therein? |
3296 | And 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? |
3296 | And, not indeed in these words, yet to this purpose, spake I much unto Thee: and Thou, O Lord, how long? |
3296 | Anger seeks revenge: who revenges more justly than Thou? |
3296 | Are an hundred years, when present, a long time? |
3296 | Are griefs then too loved? |
3296 | Are these things false?" |
3296 | Are we ashamed to follow, because others are gone before, and not ashamed not even to follow?" |
3296 | As if He had been in place, Who is not in place, of Whom only it is written, that He is Thy gift? |
3296 | As then we remember joy? |
3296 | As we remember eloquence then? |
3296 | As we remember numbers then? |
3296 | BOOK VI O Thou, my hope from my youth, where wert Thou to me, and whither wert Thou gone? |
3296 | BOOK XI Lord, since eternity is Thine, art Thou ignorant of what I say to Thee? |
3296 | Because none doth ordinarily laugh alone? |
3296 | Before them what more foul than I was already, displeasing even such as myself? |
3296 | Behold, I too say, O my God, Where art Thou? |
3296 | But I would not be asked,"Why then doth God err?" |
3296 | But Thou who fillest all things, fillest Thou them with Thy whole self? |
3296 | But again I said, Who made me? |
3296 | But art thou any thing, that thus I speak to thee? |
3296 | But didst Thou fail me even by that old man, or forbear to heal my soul? |
3296 | But do I depart any whither? |
3296 | But do I perceive it, or seem to perceive it? |
3296 | But for what fruit would they hear this? |
3296 | But 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? |
3296 | But how didst Thou make the heaven and the earth? |
3296 | But how didst Thou speak? |
3296 | But how dost Thou make them? |
3296 | But how is that future diminished or consumed, which as yet is not? |
3296 | But how know we this? |
3296 | But if before heaven and earth there was no time, why is it demanded, what Thou then didst? |
3296 | But if the will of God has been from eternity that the creature should be, why was not the creature also from eternity?" |
3296 | But in these things is no place of repose; they abide not, they flee; and who can follow them with the senses of the flesh? |
3296 | But in what sense is that long or short, which is not? |
3296 | But is it also in grief for a thing lost, and the sorrow wherewith I was then overwhelmed? |
3296 | But is it so, as one remembers Carthage who hath seen it? |
3296 | But now when I hear that there be three kinds of questions,"Whether the thing be? |
3296 | But should any ask me, had I rather be merry or fearful? |
3296 | But time present how do we measure, seeing it hath no space? |
3296 | But was not either the Father, or the Son, borne above the waters? |
3296 | But 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? |
3296 | But what availed the utmost neatness of the cup- bearer to my thirst for a more precious draught? |
3296 | But 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? |
3296 | But what do I love, when I love Thee? |
3296 | But what foul offences can there be against Thee, who canst not be defiled? |
3296 | But what in discourse do we mention more familiarly and knowingly, than time? |
3296 | But what is forgetfulness, but the privation of memory? |
3296 | But what is nearer to me than myself? |
3296 | But what is this, and what kind of mystery? |
3296 | But what pain? |
3296 | But what prouder, than for me with a strange madness to maintain myself to be that by nature which Thou art? |
3296 | But what sort of compassion is this for feigned and scenical passions? |
3296 | But what sort of man is any man, seeing he is but a man? |
3296 | But what speak I of these things? |
3296 | But what when the memory itself loses any thing, as falls out when we forget and seek that we may recollect? |
3296 | But 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? |
3296 | But when then pay we court to our great friends, whose favour we need? |
3296 | But whence had it this degree of being, but from Thee, from Whom are all things, so far forth as they are? |
3296 | But whence should I know, whether he spake truth? |
3296 | But whence, by what way, and whither passes it while it is a measuring? |
3296 | But where in my memory residest Thou, O Lord, where residest Thou there? |
3296 | But where shall it be sought or when? |
3296 | But where was I, when I was seeking Thee? |
3296 | But wherefore was it not meet that the knowledge of Him should be conveyed otherwise, than as being borne above? |
3296 | But whether by images or no, who can readily say? |
3296 | But whither ascend ye, when ye are on high, and set your mouth against the heavens? |
3296 | But whither goes that vein? |
3296 | But who shall cleanse it? |
3296 | But whosoever reckons up his real merits to Thee, what reckons he up to Thee but Thine own gifts? |
3296 | But why did I so much hate the Greek, which I studied as a boy? |
3296 | But why doth"truth generate hatred,"and the man of Thine, preaching the truth, become an enemy to them? |
3296 | But yet what was it? |
3296 | But yet who bade that Manichaeus write on these things also, skill in which was no element of piety? |
3296 | But yet, O my God, Who madest us, what comparison is there betwixt that honour that I paid to her, and her slavery for me? |
3296 | By remembrance, as though I had forgotten it, remembering that I had forgotten it? |
3296 | By what Word then didst Thou speak, that a body might be made, whereby these words again might be made? |
3296 | By what way dost Thou, to whom nothing is to come, teach things to come; or rather of the future, dost teach things present? |
3296 | By which of these ought I to seek my God? |
3296 | Can 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? |
3296 | Can my hand do this, or the hand of my mouth by speech bring about a thing so great? |
3296 | Can our hopes in court rise higher than to be the Emperor''s favourites? |
3296 | Could it be measured the rather, for that? |
3296 | Did not I read in thee of Jove the thunderer and the adulterer? |
3296 | Did not my God, Who is not only good, but goodness itself? |
3296 | Did the whole tumult of my soul, for which neither time nor utterance sufficed, reach them? |
3296 | Didst Thou then indeed hold Thy peace to me? |
3296 | Do I then love in a man, what I hate to be, who am a man? |
3296 | Do I then measure, O my God, and know not what I measure? |
3296 | Do not divers wills distract the mind, while he deliberates which he should rather choose? |
3296 | Do the heaven and earth then contain Thee, since Thou fillest them? |
3296 | Do they desire to joy with me, when they hear how near, by Thy gift, I approach unto Thee? |
3296 | Does not my soul most truly confess unto Thee, that I do measure times? |
3296 | Does the memory perchance not belong to the mind? |
3296 | Dost Thou bid me assent, if any define time to be"motion of a body?" |
3296 | Dost Thou mock me for asking this, and bid me praise Thee and acknowledge Thee, for that I do know? |
3296 | Doth then, O Lord God of truth, whoso knoweth these things, therefore please Thee? |
3296 | Doth this sweeten it, that we hope Thou hearest? |
3296 | Envy disputes for excellency: what more excellent than Thou? |
3296 | Even now, after the descent of Life to you, will ye not ascend and live? |
3296 | For I ask any one, had he rather joy in truth, or in falsehood? |
3296 | For I ask them, is it good to take pleasure in reading the Apostle? |
3296 | For 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? |
3296 | For had there been light, where should it have been but by being over all, aloft, and enlightening? |
3296 | For his presence did not lessen my privacy; or how could he forsake me so disturbed? |
3296 | For how much better are the fables of poets and grammarians than these snares? |
3296 | For how should He, by the crucifixion of a phantasm, which I believed Him to be? |
3296 | For how should there be a blessed life where life itself is not? |
3296 | For if He made, what did He make but a creature? |
3296 | For if Thine ears be not with us in the depths also, whither shall we go? |
3296 | For 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? |
3296 | For if( say they) He were unemployed and wrought not, why does He not also henceforth, and for ever, as He did heretofore? |
3296 | For that past time which was long, was it long when it was now past, or when it was yet present? |
3296 | For then I ask myself how much more or less troublesome it is to me not to have them? |
3296 | For what am I to myself without Thee, but a guide to mine own downfall? |
3296 | For what did heaven and earth, which Thou madest in the Beginning, deserve of Thee? |
3296 | For what else is it to feed the wind, but to feed them, that is by going astray to become their pleasure and derision? |
3296 | For what is it to hear from Thee of themselves, but to know themselves? |
3296 | For what is nearer to Thine ears than a confessing heart, and a life of faith? |
3296 | For what is time? |
3296 | For what is, but because Thou art? |
3296 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of a man, which is in him? |
3296 | For what mortal can? |
3296 | For what other place is there for such a soul? |
3296 | For what pleasure hath it, to see in a mangled carcase what will make you shudder? |
3296 | For what profited me good abilities, not employed to good uses? |
3296 | For what shall I say, when it is clear to me that I remember forgetfulness? |
3296 | For what thief will abide a thief? |
3296 | For what would I say, O Lord my God, but that I know not whence I came into this dying life( shall I call it?) |
3296 | For 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"? |
3296 | For when a body is moved, I by time measure, how long it moveth, from the time it began to move until it left off? |
3296 | For when it was found, whence should she know whether it were the same, unless she remembered it? |
3296 | For whence could innumerable ages pass by, which Thou madest not, Thou the Author and Creator of all ages? |
3296 | For whence else is this hesitation between conflicting wills? |
3296 | For whence shouldest Thou have this, which Thou hadst not made, thereof to make any thing? |
3296 | For where did they, who foretold things to come, see them, if as yet they be not? |
3296 | For where doth he not find Thy law in his own punishment? |
3296 | For where was that charity building upon the foundation of humility, which is Christ Jesus? |
3296 | For whither fled they, when they fled from Thy presence? |
3296 | For whither should my heart flee from my heart? |
3296 | For who discerneth us, but Thou? |
3296 | For who is Lord but the Lord? |
3296 | For who would willingly speak thereof, if so oft as we name grief or fear, we should be compelled to be sad or fearful? |
3296 | For why should not the motions of all bodies rather be times? |
3296 | For with a wounded heart have I beheld Thy brightness, and stricken back I said,"Who can attain thither? |
3296 | For, what was that which was thence through my tongue distilled into the ears of my most familiar friends? |
3296 | Grant me, Lord, to know and understand which is first, to call on Thee or to praise Thee? |
3296 | Had He no might to turn and change the whole, so that no evil should remain in it, seeing He is All- mighty? |
3296 | Hadst not Thou created me, and separated me from the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air? |
3296 | Hast Thou, although present every where, cast away our misery far from Thee? |
3296 | Hast not Thou, O Lord, taught his soul, which confesseth unto Thee? |
3296 | Have I not confessed against myself my transgressions unto Thee, and Thou, my God, hast forgiven the iniquity of my heart? |
3296 | He cries out, How long? |
3296 | Heal Thou all my bones, and let them say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee? |
3296 | How can I say that the image of forgetfulness is retained by my memory, not forgetfulness itself, when I remember it? |
3296 | How 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? |
3296 | How did corporeal matter deserve of Thee, to be even invisible and without form? |
3296 | How did they deserve of Thee, to be even without form, since they had not been even this, but from Thee? |
3296 | How may it then be measured? |
3296 | How seek I it? |
3296 | How then do I seek Thee, O Lord? |
3296 | How 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"? |
3296 | How then is it present that I remember it, since when present I can not remember? |
3296 | How then know I this, seeing I know not what time is? |
3296 | How then should it be called, that it might be in some measure conveyed to those of duller mind, but by some ordinary word? |
3296 | I beseech Thee, my God, I would fain know, if so Thou willest, for what purpose my baptism was then deferred? |
3296 | I exclaim:"what is it? |
3296 | I loved then in it also the company of the accomplices, with whom I did it? |
3296 | I measure the motion of a body in time; and the time itself do I not measure? |
3296 | I 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?" |
3296 | I sent up these sorrowful words: How long, how long,"to- morrow, and tomorrow?" |
3296 | I should choose to be myself, though worn with cares and fears; but out of wrong judgment; for, was it the truth? |
3296 | I 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? |
3296 | If God be for us, who can be against us? |
3296 | If 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? |
3296 | If 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?" |
3296 | If the devil were the author, whence is that same devil? |
3296 | If, again, I should ask which might be forgotten with least detriment to the concerns of life, reading and writing or these poetic fictions? |
3296 | In so small a creature, what was not wonderful, not admirable? |
3296 | In the future, whence it passeth through? |
3296 | In the way that the voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son? |
3296 | In what space then do we measure time passing? |
3296 | Is it also present to itself by its image, and not by itself? |
3296 | Is it body? |
3296 | Is it clasped up with the eyes? |
3296 | Is 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?" |
3296 | Is it not thus, as I recall it, O Lord my God, Thou judge of my conscience? |
3296 | Is it soul? |
3296 | Is it that the matter was without form, in which because there was no form, there was no order? |
3296 | Is it that which constituteth soul or body? |
3296 | Is it then a slight woe to love Thee not? |
3296 | Is it to come? |
3296 | Is it without it, and not within? |
3296 | Is justice therefore various or mutable? |
3296 | Is not the life of man upon earth all trial: without any interval? |
3296 | Is not the life of man upon earth all trial? |
3296 | Is not this corporeal figure apparent to all whose senses are perfect? |
3296 | Is the comparison unlike in this, because not in all respects like? |
3296 | Is the thing different, because they are but small creatures? |
3296 | Is this their allotted measure? |
3296 | Know I not this also? |
3296 | Known therefore it is to all, for they with one voice be asked,"would they be happy?" |
3296 | Lastly, 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? |
3296 | Let him also rejoice and say, What thing is this? |
3296 | Let my bones be bedewed with Thy love, and let them say unto Thee, Who is like unto Thee, O Lord? |
3296 | Let my heart and my tongue praise Thee; yea, let all my bones say, O Lord, who is like unto Thee? |
3296 | Life is vain, death uncertain; if it steals upon us on a sudden, in what state shall we depart hence? |
3296 | Lo, are they not full of their old leaven, who say to us,"What was God doing before He made heaven and earth? |
3296 | May 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? |
3296 | My 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?" |
3296 | My God, my Mercy, with how much gall didst Thou out of Thy great goodness besprinkle for me that sweetness? |
3296 | My life being such, was it life, O my God? |
3296 | No man sings there, Shall not my soul be submitted unto God? |
3296 | Nor did that depart,--(for whither went it?) |
3296 | Notwithstanding, in how many most petty and contemptible things is our curiosity daily tempted, and how often we give way, who can recount? |
3296 | O my Lord, my Light, shall not here also Thy Truth mock at man? |
3296 | O ye sons of men, how long so slow of heart? |
3296 | Oh that they were wearied out with their famine, and said, Who will show us good things? |
3296 | One is commended, and, unseen, he is loved: doth this love enter the heart of the hearer from the mouth of the commender? |
3296 | Or hath it no being? |
3296 | Or how shall we obtain salvation, but from Thy hand, re- making what it made? |
3296 | Or 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? |
3296 | Or in the present, by which it passes? |
3296 | Or 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? |
3296 | Or was it then good, even for a while, to cry for what, if given, would hurt? |
3296 | Or 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? |
3296 | Or where but with Thee is unshaken safety? |
3296 | Or whereas no man likes to be miserable, is he yet pleased to be merciful? |
3296 | Or who, except Thou, our God, made for us that firmament of authority over us in Thy Divine Scripture? |
3296 | Or, could it then be against His will? |
3296 | Or, 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? |
3296 | Or, is it rather, that we call on Thee that we may know Thee? |
3296 | Or, should there in our words be some syllables short, others long, but because those sounded in a shorter time, these in a longer? |
3296 | Or, 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? |
3296 | Or, while we were saying this, should we not also be speaking in time? |
3296 | Or,"How came it into His mind to make any thing, having never before made any thing?" |
3296 | Rejoiceth he for that? |
3296 | Say, 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? |
3296 | See, I answer him that asketh,"What did God before He made heaven and earth?" |
3296 | See, it is no great matter now to obtain some station, and then what should we more wish for? |
3296 | Seeing 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? |
3296 | Shall I say that that is not in my memory, which I remember? |
3296 | Shall any be his own artificer? |
3296 | Shall compassion then be put away? |
3296 | Since, then, I too exist, why do I seek that Thou shouldest enter into me, who were not, wert Thou not in me? |
3296 | The 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? |
3296 | The forenoons our scholars take up; what do we during the rest? |
3296 | The heaven of heavens are the Lord''s; but the earth hath He given to the children of men? |
3296 | The other, in banter, replied,"Do walls then make Christians?" |
3296 | Therefore I contend not in judgment with Thee; for if Thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall abide it? |
3296 | Therefore didst Thou command it to be written, that darkness was upon the face of the deep; what else than the absence of light? |
3296 | These be Thine own promises: and who need fear to be deceived, when the Truth promiseth? |
3296 | These things being safe and immovably settled in my mind, I sought anxiously"whence was evil?" |
3296 | This same time then, how do I measure? |
3296 | This then that He is said"never to have made"; what else is it to say, than"in''no time''to have made?" |
3296 | Those two times then, past and to come, how are they, seeing the past now is not, and that to come is not yet? |
3296 | Thou receivest over and above, that Thou mayest owe; and who hath aught that is not Thine? |
3296 | Thou then, Ruler of Thy creation, by what way dost Thou teach souls things to come? |
3296 | Thou, by whose gift she was such? |
3296 | Times passing, not past? |
3296 | To 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? |
3296 | To what end then would ye still and still walk these difficult and toilsome ways? |
3296 | To whom shall I speak this? |
3296 | To whom tell I this? |
3296 | To 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? |
3296 | Unto 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? |
3296 | Was it for his own necessities, because he said, Ye sent unto my necessity? |
3296 | We hold the promise, who shall make it null? |
3296 | What am I then, O my God? |
3296 | What art Thou then, my God? |
3296 | What art Thou to me? |
3296 | What can be more, and yet what less like? |
3296 | What did all this further me, seeing it even hindered me? |
3296 | What diddest Thou then, my God, and how unsearchable is the abyss of Thy judgments? |
3296 | What evil have not been either my deeds, or if not my deeds, my words, or if not my words, my will? |
3296 | What glory, Lord? |
3296 | What greater madness can be said or thought of? |
3296 | What is it that attracts and wins us to the things we love? |
3296 | What is it to me, O my true life, my God, that my declamation was applauded above so many of my own age and class? |
3296 | What is it to me, though any comprehend not this? |
3296 | What is it which hath come into my mind to enquire, and discuss, and consider? |
3296 | What is its root, and what its seed? |
3296 | What is that which gleams through me, and strikes my heart without hurting it; and I shudder and kindle? |
3296 | What is this but a miserable madness? |
3296 | What is worthy of dispraise but vice? |
3296 | What is, in truth? |
3296 | What marvel that an unhappy sheep, straying from Thy flock, and impatient of Thy keeping, I became infected with a foul disease? |
3296 | What means this, O Lord my God, whereas Thou art everlastingly joy to Thyself, and some things around Thee evermore rejoice in Thee? |
3296 | What means this, that this portion of things thus ebbs and flows alternately displeased and reconciled? |
3296 | What middle place is there betwixt these two, where the life of man is not all trial? |
3296 | What nature am I? |
3296 | What said I not against myself? |
3296 | What sayest Thou to me? |
3296 | What shall I do then, O Thou my true life, my God? |
3296 | What shall I render unto the Lord, that, whilst my memory recalls these things, my soul is not affrighted at them? |
3296 | What shall wretched man do? |
3296 | What strength of ours, yea what ages would suffice for all Thy books in this manner? |
3296 | What then could they be more truly called than"Subverters"? |
3296 | What then did I love in that theft? |
3296 | What then did wretched I so love in thee, thou theft of mine, thou deed of darkness, in that sixteenth year of my age? |
3296 | What then do I confess unto Thee in this kind of temptation, O Lord? |
3296 | What then do I love, when I love my God? |
3296 | What then do I measure? |
3296 | What then if all give equal pleasure, and all at once? |
3296 | What 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? |
3296 | What then is it I measure? |
3296 | What then is the beautiful? |
3296 | What then is time? |
3296 | What then shall I say, O Truth my Light? |
3296 | What 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? |
3296 | What then was my sin? |
3296 | What then was this feeling? |
3296 | What third way is there? |
3296 | What when we measure silence, and say that this silence hath held as long time as did that voice? |
3296 | What wilt thou answer me? |
3296 | What, but that I am delighted with praise, but with truth itself, more than with praise? |
3296 | What, if death itself cut off and end all care and feeling? |
3296 | What, when I name forgetfulness, and withal recognise what I name? |
3296 | What, when sitting at home, a lizard catching flies, or a spider entangling them rushing into her nets, oft- times takes my attention? |
3296 | When compose what we may sell to scholars? |
3296 | When refresh ourselves, unbending our minds from this intenseness of care? |
3296 | When shall I recall all which passed in those holy- days? |
3296 | When therefore will it be? |
3296 | When we shall all rise again, though we shall not all be changed? |
3296 | Whence and how entered these things into my memory? |
3296 | Whence and whither hast Thou thus led my remembrance, that I should confess these things also unto Thee? |
3296 | Whence could such a being be, save from Thee, Lord? |
3296 | Whence is evil? |
3296 | Whence is it then? |
3296 | Whence is this monstrousness? |
3296 | Whence is this monstrousness? |
3296 | Whence 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? |
3296 | Whence then came I to will evil and nill good, so that I am thus justly punished? |
3296 | Whence then is sweet fruit gathered from the bitterness of life, from groaning, tears, sighs, and complaints? |
3296 | Whence then so many thorns, if the earth be fruitful? |
3296 | Whence this monstrousness? |
3296 | Whence was this, but that Thine ears were towards her heart? |
3296 | Whence, or when procure them? |
3296 | Where in the end do we search, but in the memory itself? |
3296 | Where is evil then, and whence, and how crept it in hither? |
3296 | Where is reason then, which, awake, resisteth such suggestions? |
3296 | Where is that heaven which we see not, to which all this which we see is earth? |
3296 | Where now are the impulses to such various and divers kinds of loves laid up in one soul? |
3296 | Where then and when did I experience my happy life, that I should remember, and love, and long for it? |
3296 | Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee, but in Thee above me? |
3296 | Where then did I find Thee, that I might learn Thee? |
3296 | Where then did they know this happy life, save where they know the truth also? |
3296 | Where then is the time, which we may call long? |
3296 | Where then light was not, what was the presence of darkness, but the absence of light? |
3296 | Where then wert Thou then to me, and how far from me? |
3296 | Where then? |
3296 | Where was then that discreet old woman, and that her earnest countermanding? |
3296 | Whereat then rejoicest thou, O great Paul? |
3296 | Wherefore delay then to abandon worldly hopes, and give ourselves wholly to seek after God and the blessed life? |
3296 | Which images, how they are formed, who can tell, though it doth plainly appear by which sense each hath been brought in and stored up? |
3296 | Which of us comprehendeth the Almighty Trinity? |
3296 | Which way, but through the present? |
3296 | Whither do I call Thee, since I am in Thee? |
3296 | Whither go ye in rough ways? |
3296 | Whither go ye? |
3296 | Whither not follow myself? |
3296 | Whither should I flee from myself? |
3296 | Who am I, and what am I? |
3296 | Who can disentangle that twisted and intricate knottiness? |
3296 | Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it? |
3296 | Who can readily and briefly explain this? |
3296 | Who can recount all Thy praises, which he hath felt in his one self? |
3296 | Who can understand his errors? |
3296 | Who declare it? |
3296 | Who gathered the embittered together into one society? |
3296 | Who knows not this? |
3296 | Who now shall search out this? |
3296 | Who now teacheth us, but the unchangeable Truth? |
3296 | Who remindeth me of the sins of my infancy? |
3296 | Who remindeth me? |
3296 | Who repay Him the price wherewith He bought us, and so take us from Him? |
3296 | Who shall comprehend? |
3296 | Who shall restore to Him the innocent blood? |
3296 | Who shall stand against thee? |
3296 | Who then should deliver me thus wretched from the body of this death, but Thy grace only, through Jesus Christ our Lord? |
3296 | Who therefore denieth, that things to come are not as yet? |
3296 | Who will say so? |
3296 | Who wishes for troubles and difficulties? |
3296 | Who, Lord, but Thou, saidst, Let the waters be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear, which thirsteth after Thee? |
3296 | Whom could I find to reconcile me to Thee? |
3296 | Whom shall I enquire of concerning these things? |
3296 | Whom so soon as Alypius remembered, he told the architect: and he showing the hatchet to the boy, asked him"Whose that was?" |
3296 | Why am I more stung by reproach cast upon myself, than at that cast upon another, with the same injustice, before me? |
3296 | Why is it, that man desires to be made sad, beholding doleful and tragical things, which yet himself would no means suffer? |
3296 | Why not now? |
3296 | Why not this? |
3296 | Why say more? |
3296 | Why seek they to hear from me what I am; who will not hear from Thee what themselves are? |
3296 | Why should he trouble me, as if I could enlighten any man that cometh into this world? |
3296 | Why so then? |
3296 | Why standest thou in thyself, and so standest not? |
3296 | Why that? |
3296 | Why then be perverted and follow thy flesh? |
3296 | Why then did I hate the Greek classics, which have the like tales? |
3296 | Why then do I lay in order before Thee so many relations? |
3296 | Why then does not the disputer, thus recollecting, taste in the mouth of his musing the sweetness of joy, or the bitterness of sorrow? |
3296 | Why then fear we and avoid what is not? |
3296 | Why then is this said of Thy Spirit only, why is it said only of Him? |
3296 | Why then joy they not in it? |
3296 | Why then was my delight of such sort that I did it not alone? |
3296 | Why, I beseech Thee, O Lord my God? |
3296 | Why, since we are equally men, do I love in another what, if I did not hate, I should not spurn and cast from myself? |
3296 | Why? |
3296 | Wilt Thou hold Thy peace for ever? |
3296 | Would any commit murder upon no cause, delighted simply in murdering? |
3296 | Would aught avail against a secret disease, if Thy healing hand, O Lord, watched not over us? |
3296 | Yea, and if I knew this also, should I know it from him? |
3296 | Yea, sloth would fain be at rest; but what stable rest besides the Lord? |
3296 | Yet what do we measure, if not time in some space? |
3296 | and all at once the same part? |
3296 | and by how many perils arrive we at a greater peril? |
3296 | and dare I say that Thou heldest Thy peace, O my God, while I wandered further from Thee? |
3296 | and from that moment shall not this or that be lawful for thee for ever?" |
3296 | and from that moment shall we no more be with thee for ever? |
3296 | and in this, what is there not brittle, and full of perils? |
3296 | and shall we not rather suffer the punishment of this negligence? |
3296 | and to pray for me, when they shall hear how much I am held back by my own weight? |
3296 | and to what end? |
3296 | and to what end? |
3296 | and to what end? |
3296 | and was there nothing else whereon to exercise my wit and tongue? |
3296 | and what Thy days, but Thy eternity, as Thy years which fail not, because Thou art ever the same? |
3296 | and what before that life again, O God my joy, was I any where or any body? |
3296 | and what else did he who beat me? |
3296 | and what is beauty? |
3296 | and what room is there within me, whither my God can come into me? |
3296 | and what the engine of Thy so mighty fabric? |
3296 | and when arrive we thither? |
3296 | and where shall we learn what here we have neglected? |
3296 | and wherein did I even corruptly and pervertedly imitate my Lord? |
3296 | and who knoweth and saith,"It is false,"unless himself lieth? |
3296 | and yet which speaks not of It, if indeed it be It? |
3296 | and, again, to know Thee or to call on Thee? |
3296 | bitterly to resent, that persons free, and its own elders, yea, the very authors of its birth, served it not? |
3296 | but how shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? |
3296 | but no space, we do not measure: or in the past, to which it passes? |
3296 | by what prayers? |
3296 | by what sacraments? |
3296 | could I like what I might not, only because I might not? |
3296 | do then heaven and earth, which Thou hast made, and wherein Thou hast made me, contain Thee? |
3296 | do we by a shorter time measure a longer, as by the space of a cubit, the space of a rood? |
3296 | doth not each little infant, in whom I see what of myself I remember not? |
3296 | for of that I have heard somewhat, and have myself seen women with child? |
3296 | for who can call on Thee, not knowing Thee? |
3296 | from whom borrow them? |
3296 | how didst Thou cure her? |
3296 | how heal her? |
3296 | how long roll the sons of Eve into that huge and hideous ocean, which even they scarcely overpass who climb the cross? |
3296 | how long shalt thou not be dried up? |
3296 | how long, Lord, wilt Thou be angry for ever? |
3296 | how speak it? |
3296 | how 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? |
3296 | how then doth it not comprehend itself? |
3296 | how, O God, didst Thou make heaven and earth? |
3296 | if 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? |
3296 | in those things, of the remembrance whereof I am now ashamed? |
3296 | is it lulled asleep with the senses of the body? |
3296 | is not a happy life what all will, and no one altogether wills it not? |
3296 | is not all this smoke and wind? |
3296 | is there, indeed, O Lord my God, aught in me that can contain Thee? |
3296 | of what kind it is?" |
3296 | or 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? |
3296 | or can they either in themselves, and not rather in the Lord their God? |
3296 | or dost Thou fill them and yet overflow, since they do not contain Thee? |
3296 | or dost Thou see in time, what passeth in time? |
3296 | or each its own part, the greater more, the smaller less? |
3296 | or good to discourse on the Gospel? |
3296 | or good to take pleasure in a sober Psalm? |
3296 | or hast Thou no need that aught contain Thee, who containest all things, since what Thou fillest Thou fillest by containing it? |
3296 | or how have they disgraced Thy government, which, from the heaven to this lowest earth, is just and perfect? |
3296 | or how shall they believe without a preacher? |
3296 | or how should they pass by, if they never were? |
3296 | or how that past increased, which is now no longer, save that in the mind which enacteth this, there be three things done? |
3296 | or how went it away? |
3296 | or is it at last that I deceive myself, and do not the truth before Thee in my heart and tongue? |
3296 | or is it perchance that I know not how to express what I know? |
3296 | or shall I say that forgetfulness is for this purpose in my memory, that I might not forget? |
3296 | or to whom should I cry, save Thee? |
3296 | or was it not laid loose? |
3296 | or what Angel, a man? |
3296 | or what Angel, an Angel? |
3296 | or what acts of violence against Thee, who canst not be harmed? |
3296 | or what am I even at the best, but an infant sucking the milk Thou givest, and feeding upon Thee, the food that perisheth not? |
3296 | or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee? |
3296 | or what times should there be, which were not made by Thee? |
3296 | or when should these books teach me it? |
3296 | or whence canst Thou enter into me? |
3296 | or where dost not Thou find them? |
3296 | or who is God save our God? |
3296 | or, art Thou wholly every where, while nothing contains Thee wholly? |
3296 | or, because nothing which exists could exist without Thee, doth therefore whatever exists contain Thee? |
3296 | or, since all things can not contain Thee wholly, do they contain part of Thee? |
3296 | that many besides, wiser than it, obeyed not the nod of its good pleasure? |
3296 | that period I pass by; and what have I now to do with that, of which I can recall no vestige? |
3296 | to do its best to strike and hurt, because commands were not obeyed, which had been obeyed to its hurt? |
3296 | to whom shall I speak it? |
3296 | was I to have recourse to Angels? |
3296 | was it for my good that the rein was laid loose, as it were, upon me, for me to sin? |
3296 | was it that I hung upon the breast and cried? |
3296 | was it that which I spent within my mother''s womb? |
3296 | what aim we at? |
3296 | what heardest thou? |
3296 | what it is? |
3296 | what manner of lodging hast Thou framed for Thee? |
3296 | what manner of sanctuary hast Thou builded for Thee? |
3296 | what serve we for? |
3296 | what, but the Lord God? |
3296 | when, or where, or whither, or by whom? |
3296 | whence should I recognise it, did I not remember it? |
3296 | whence, but from the future? |
3296 | where have they known it, that they so will it? |
3296 | where is the short syllable by which I measure? |
3296 | where seen it, that they so love it? |
3296 | where the long which I measure? |
3296 | whereat rejoicest thou? |
3296 | which because it can not be without passion, for this reason alone are passions loved? |
3296 | whither can God come into me, God who made heaven and earth? |
3296 | whither cry? |
3296 | whither flows it? |
3296 | whither, but into the past? |
3296 | who can teach me, save He that enlighteneth my heart, and discovereth its dark corners? |
3296 | who could any ways express it? |
3296 | who does not foresee what all must answer who have not wholly forgotten themselves? |
3296 | who ever sounded the bottom thereof? |
3296 | who is He above the head of my soul? |
3296 | who set this in me, and ingrafted into me this plant of bitterness, seeing I was wholly formed by my most sweet God? |
3296 | who shall comprehend how it is? |
3296 | who would believe it? |
3296 | who would, any way, pronounce thereon rashly? |
3296 | who, 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? |
3296 | why are they not happy? |
3296 | why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? |
3296 | why do ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? |
3296 | why not is there this hour an end to my uncleanness? |
3296 | why then speaks it not the same to all? |
3296 | would not these Manichees also be in a strait what to answer? |
3296 | yea, who can grasp them, when they are hard by? |
