28530How''s that, Job?
28530Just as he stands?
28530Shure an''why not that?
28530What d''ye s''pose he wants wid us, Barney, annyhow?
28530Where in thunder was yer gun?
28530Which does he go shy on, Mr. Toomey, the love or the fear?
28530Will you believe it, boys? 28530 An''what''s he goin''to eat, anyways, I''d like to know?
28530But what was wanted of him?
28530But where was his rifle?
28530Could it be that they wanted him?
28530Do you suppose that grizzly was goin''to be afraid o''_ me?_ He''d seen me afraid o''_ him_, all right.
28530If not Brace Timmins''dog, as every one made prudent haste to acknowledge, then whose dog was it?
28530Let me be now, wo n''t''ee, old mate?"
28530See?"
28530Should he bag this bear, or should he wait and sound his call again a little later, in the hope of yet summoning the great bull?
28530The wolf cocked his ears slightly and looked about carelessly, as if to say,"What''s that?"
28530Was he badly hurt?
28530Was he to die of thirst and hunger on this high solitude before he could recover sufficiently to climb down?
28530What dog indeed could have mastered Anderson''s"Dan"?
28530What monster could it be that was giving so much trouble?
28530What''ll ye take, boys?
28530What''ll you take for him?"
28530Where was the rest of the pack?
34454Ca n''t you see they''re just a couple of puppies larking round?
34454Can ye do it, man?
34454Did ever ye see the likes o''that for nerve?
34454Had n''t ye better be fetchin''the canoe round to the front, where ye kin keep an eye onto it?
34454How''ll ye like it, sleepin''along o''that bunch o''bed- fellers, Tom?
34454It_ is_ becoming, is n''t it?
34454Think''twon''t be too cold fer ye by the door?
34454What''ll ye be givin''me,he inquired, proffering his plug of choice tobacco,"ef I git yer pig back fer ye?"
34454What''s that, now, way down behind them yaller birch trunks?
34454What''s the good o''spilin''good skins by shootin''''em now? 34454 Who''s been lettin''loose the menagerie?
34454Why did n''t ye let me have a hand in the job?
34454_ Kr- rr- rr- eee?_he murmured softly, as if in sarcastic interrogation.
34454But I''d like to know who''s been here afore us, an''_ rolled up_ this here skin so tidy- like?
34454But why were they there?
34454Did ever ye see so many o''them together afore?"
34454Guess we''ll call it square, eh?"
34454How did it happen that the trail had thus grown fresh all at once?
34454If the bird died agonizingly afterwards, who was going to swear that he was the slayer?
34454Or hev I got the nightmare, mebbe?"
34454Should he follow up the trail at once?
34454They have no intuition, so how can they understand?"
34454They''ve et ther rabbits, an''what''s one small rabbit to a_ rale_ hungry bear?
34454What could a moose- cow be thinking about to remain so near the dangerous neighbourhood of a man?
34454What would they want to travel for, when they''d got such a dead easy thing right here?"
34454What''ll ye take now?"
34454Where, then, could she be?
34454Why did n''t I think o''that afore?"
34454Why should the ungodly triumph?
34454Will ye look at them rabbits down yander?
38675Ai n''t yer got enough fresh meat in this''ere cow I''ve foraged fer ye? 38675 But what was that noise we heard, along about an hour back?
38675Did ye think to bring anything to eat with ye?
38675Do ye want to be left to the b''ars and the h''a''nts, in the big black woods, all by yer lonesome?
38675How fur, would ye say?
38675Or would ye rather be et, good an''decent, an''save ye a heap o''frettin''?
38675So ye''re goin''to be Mary''s ma, eh?
38675What did I tell ye?
38675What ye doin''here, sonny? 38675 What''re ye gruntin''about, Tom?"
38675Whatever would we have done without Mary?
38675Which is nearest,queried Jackson,"Conroy''s Upper Camp, or Gillespie''s, over to Red Brook?"
38675Who''d ever''a''thought any bull elk could lick a painter_ that_ quick?
38675But something seemed to tug suddenly at his arm-- or was it at his heart?
38675But what did he care for the disapproval of the sorrel horse?
38675Could he check himself before reaching the brink?
38675Did you shoot anything?"
38675Hain''t yer got no consideration for Mary''s feelings?
38675How long, he wondered, would the sentinel remain tireless?
38675How was it possible that such an awful sound should come from those unmoving wings?
38675Or how long would those ravening watchers remain obedient to the authority that denied their hunger relief?
38675Then he came and glared up at McLaggan, as much as to say:"Did you see that?
38675What d''ye want fer her as she stands?"
38675What d''ye want o''me, anyhow?"
38675What if one of the misguided birds should foul his propeller or come blundering aboard and snap a stay or a control wire?
38675What was the chill and lonely wilderness to him, a dog?
38675What was the great owl trying to get at, when the precious fish were all spread out before her?
38675What''ll ye take?"
38675What, then, was in the basket?
38675Why did not the fugitive stop and make ready some defense?
38675Why should he not climb up and help himself?
36879And is it a name ye''r in want of, Sir? 36879 You big blackguard you, did n''t you get drunk and fall asleep?"
36879''An ounce a day,''said I,(_ the echo!_)''What is tobacco an ounce?''
36879''Now, Sir,''said he,''can you smoke any, will you have a pipe?''
36879''Perhaps 7_d._''''And how many years have you been in the habit of taking snuff?''
36879''Sinful,''said he, laughing--(_jolly fellow!_)--''how can it be sinful?''
36879Are we singular in our opinion?
36879I do take snuff: do YOU think there is sin in it, Sir?''
36879In regard to snuff he is wisely meek; for what were he himself without the stimulating dust in his pocket?
36879It amounts to more than 60_l._ without the interest(_ profound calculation!_) Now, do you think that God will reward you for taking snuff?''
36879Well, and what do the faculty say with reference to smoking?
36879What charm''d me in the thoughts of past, When mem''ry''s gleam my eyes o''ercast, And burns to serve me to the last?
36879What cheer''d me in my boyhood''s hour, When first I felt Love''s witching power, To bear deceit,--false woman''s dow''r?
36879What does not MOLIERE, their favorite author say, in favor of the herb?
36879What sceptic so rash, dares breathe a doubt of the truth of this statement?
36879What sooth''d me in a foreign land, And charm''d me with its influence bland, Still whisp''ring comfort, hand in hand?
36879What soothes the peasant when his toil is done?
36879What still upheld me since the guile, Attendant on false friendship''s smile, And I in hope, deceiv''d the while?
36879What taught me first sweet peace to blend, With hopes and fears that knew no end, My dearest, truest, fondest friend?
36879than in the inspired lines of thy true admirer Byron?
36879why is it not true?
18383''Have you heard what has been determined about the horses?'' 18383 Why is this?"
18383''How?''
18383''If you take them at all, why not take them in the face of day?
18383''You have made a great improvement by so doing,''I replied;''but are the British employed on this work?''
18383And again,"Can these Goths be the inventors of that architecture vulgarly called Gothic?
18383And what shall we say of those lofty, slender, and finely fluted columns, which appear a part of the sublime structure they support?
18383As for the poor weary wife, she thought of her crockery, and remarking in a matter of- fact way,"What shall we have for supper now?"
18383But how can I help you in the matter, seeing that the work is not mine?
18383But who can any longer consider these as wonders, after having seen so many in Rome?
18383I asked one of the soldiers what they were there for?
18383Milizia says of Theodoric,"Is this the language of a Gothic barbarian, the destroyer of good taste?
18383One day I asked him, how he had attained to such a degree of perfection as to have gained so high a rank among the great painters of Italy?
18383What were the Greeks then doing?"
18383What would the ancients say, could they see our modern imitations of their labyrinths?
18383Which are the most profane-- these pictures, or the Venus Anadyomene of Apelles, the Venus of Titian, and the Leda of Correggio?
18383and are these the barbarians said to have been the destroyers of the beautiful monuments of antiquity?
18383and if Filippo be ill, is that his fault?''
18383and what dost thou mean us to have for dinner, since thou hast overturned everything?''
18383do n''t you see that to create form and relief on a flat surface, is a greater labor than to fashion one shape into another?"
18383eh?
18383eh?''
18383is not Lorenzo there?
18383said one of them,''do you not know what his intentions are?''
18383why does not he do something?
18383why wilt thou not speak?"
44518And why, fool,said the man of the house,"do not you answer at first, when people ask you who is there?
44518Dog of a humpback, are you there again?
44518Will you have half?
44518--"And my poor arm, you have not forgot that?"
44518--"No more Frenchmen, Brandt, though we beat them sometimes, eh?"
44518--"What will you do with me then?"
44518--"What''s that?"
44518As Backbac went out of the house, three blind men, his companions, were going by, knew him by his voice, and asked him what was the matter?
44518Backbac made no answer, and knocked a second time: the master of the house asked again and again,"who is there?"
44518Do you imagine that I run such a hazard of falling by the hand of my adversary?''
44518Eat, I pray you; will you have some more sawce to your leek?
44518Monsieur le Baron, shall I help you to a plate of this soup?"
44518One day he knocked thus, and the master of the house, who was alone, cried,"who is there?"
44518Sleep when he wakes?
44518The doctor, astonished, asked him how he had been able to discover this?
44518The judge, perceiving that he looked upon him with his eyes open, was much surprised, and said to him,"rogue, what is the meaning of this miracle?"
44518They then asked for quarter, but Brandt''s only reply was,"Will you take the half of your money?"
44518Tom observing his emotion, eyed him with a frown of indignation, saying,''You an''t afraid, are you?''
44518When they reached the chamber, the man let go his hand, and sitting down, asked him again what he wanted?
44518Why should a man, whose blood is warm within, Sit like his grandsire, cut in alabaster?
44518Will you be so good, scald knave, as eat it?
44518_ A Scene from Shakspeare.__ Enter Fluellen and Gower.__ Gow._ Nay, that''s right: but why wear you your leek to day?
44518_ Pist._ Must I bite?
44518am I to do nothing but carry about this humpback?"
44518and creep into the jaundice By being peevish?"
44518art thou bedlam?
44518but to no purpose, no one answered; upon which he came down, opened the door, and asked the man what he wanted?
44518d''ye take me to be a savage beast?''
44518dost thou thirst, base Trojan, to have me fold up Parca''s fatal web?
44518gemmen,"says the merry- andrew,"where are you?
44518replied the challenger, stammering with fear,''what should I be afraid of?
44518replied the other,''d''ye think he thirsts after my blood?''
44518the worst he can do is to''take my life, and then he''ll be answerable both to God and man for the murder: do n''t you think he will?''
44518what d''ye mean?
44518why do you give any body the trouble to come and open the door when they speak to you?"
21198Do I?
21198Have you, sir; what is the subject?
21198How do you like it?
21198How do you like my picture?
21198How do you like my picture?
21198How goes it with thee, Rosa?
21198How much?
21198How so?
21198How the devil should you know him?
21198Now who the devil has done this?
21198Of what avail is your threat,replied Giotto,"to a man whom you have doomed to death at any rate?"
21198Pray, sir, what is that old man afraid of?
21198Reasons, and good ones,said the artist, laughing;"see-- where could I find such a picture of life as that, unless among the originals of The Cabin?"
21198Subject? 21198 What do you see, sir?"
21198What does this signify, Giotto?
21198Yes,said Blake,"the Virgin Mary appeared to me and told me it was very fine; what can you say to that?"
21198''Am I to have nothing more than this?''
21198''And how goes it with Salvator?''
21198After a hearty shake of the hand, the boxer turned to his neighbor the chimney- sweep and said,"Why, Dick, do n''t you know this here gentleman?
21198Dante, one day, quizzed him by asking,"Giotto, how is it that you, who make the children of others so beautiful, make your own so ugly?"
21198Have prices risen or fallen?"
21198I have been disappointed hitherto by the deceit of pretended friends-- shall I offend you if I offer myself next election?"
21198Morland wistfully reconnoitered the house, and at length accosted the landlord--"Upon my life, I scarcely knew it: is this the Black Bull?"
21198Once, when pressed about it, he peevishly exclaimed,"How should I know?
21198One day Bonnycastle said to him, after dinner,"Fuseli, you can write well,--why do n''t you write something?"
21198One day, his friend Donatello met him, and asked him,"What kind of work is this of thine, that thou art shutting up so closely?"
21198Ten days had scarcely elapsed before every one who passed by enquired with eager curiosity,"when the picture would be finished?"
21198The grateful painter once waited on the banker, and said,"I have finished the best of all my works-- the Lazar House-- when shall I send it home?"
21198The_ something new_ startled a man whose imagination was none of the brightest, and he said,"How shall I find something new?"
21198When he rose he enquired of Buonamico, if"he had seen more than a thousand demons wandering about his room, as he had himself in the night?"
21198returned the lady,"pray, Mr. Jervas, what is a handsome ear?"
21198what shall I write?"
21198you will drive me mad-- Reynolds and Raffaelle!--a dwarf and a giant!--why will you waste all your fine words?"
27933Do n''t you know that a beaver''s tail is supposed to be one of the finest delicacies in the woods?
27933Put him back in the water? 27933 Say, Hulbert, what am I going to do?"
27933Why do n''t you eat it?
27933And is it likely that, even if he had tried for weeks and weeks, he could ever have found his wife of the previous summer?
27933But how did his new friend feel about it?
27933But was he hit hard?
27933But was she the same wife who had helped him make the Glimmerglass ring with his shouting twelve months before?
27933But what does that matter?
27933But where was that gap in the fence?
27933But you think he might have stayed with her, anyhow?
27933Did you know that among all God''s creatures the birds are the only ones whose eyes close naturally in death?
27933Do you blame him for not being more faithful to the memory of the bird who was shot at his side only a few months before?
27933Do you suppose they recognized their mother?
27933Do you think he was very inconstant?
27933Do you want to know what they looked like?
27933Does it make you wish you were a loon yourself?
27933Had not she, too, put on a wedding- garment just like his?
27933How could it have happened?
27933Or shall we say the old love of work, and of using the powers and faculties that God had given him?
27933Or, is there something deeper than that?
27933Was it any wonder if he sometimes felt as if he would like to fight every other buck in Michigan, and all of them at once?
27933Was it any wonder if in time the Porcupine came to think himself invulnerable?
27933Was it to be reasonably expected that Mahng, when he was ready to return, would search every pond and stream from the Cumberland to the Gulf?
27933Was not half of his right hand gone, and three toes from his left hind foot?
27933What do you take me for?"
27933Why should one live on rye- bread when one can have cake and ice- cream?
27933Why should the thing that is called genius in a man be set down as instinct when we see it on a somewhat smaller scale in an animal?
27933Would n''t she?
27933Would she go with him?
27933in a triumphant tone;"who says mice are n''t good bait?
48636''Answer, and answer quickly,''he said;''if you are a Gurkha, by what boat did you cross?'' 48636 ''But what about you, yourself?''
48636''Have you bread? 48636 ''Why do you refuse good money for a good action, madame?''
48636And what did you get?
48636Are the inhabitants of this part of France hospitable?
48636But why do you prefer petticoats?
48636He said they were all French, both Arabs and Frenchmen, and the English were their allies, were n''t they? 48636 I am often asked:''How is the Kaiser able to bear this physical and mental strain?''
48636I said:''Risbourg, did you tell him you were a German?'' 48636 I told him my trouble,"she said,"whereupon he asked me:''Are you a Pole or a Jew?''
48636IS THIS THE KAISER?
48636Is this he?
48636Puzzled by this announcement, the officer in command replied,''Who are you? 48636 The English?
48636They did n''t get you, did they?
48636When the French team scored a point,he writes,"I said to one of the Englishmen:''But are n''t you ashamed to let them beat you at your own game?''
48636Where did you lose it?
48636Who was the grenadier chap?
48636Why do you not wear your cap?
48636Why,replied the man, with a grin,"do n''t you know?
48636All in the same cause?
48636Can you beat it?
48636Did I tell you we got the bullet out, and he has it as a souvenir?
48636Did Private Ewe get a new package of bandages?
48636From the Staff Headquarters?
48636Has the sun broken suddenly into the enemy''s land?
48636How were they to be saved from the ambush into which they were marching?
48636Light and life on all the ruins?
48636May I kiss your hand?''
48636Some had more than one wound; he had seven?
48636Then he asked me:"''Do you want these fellows shot?''
48636Then why were n''t they all fed alike?
48636They are not like ours-- gentlemen-- and when they get a chance they gorge themselves and get mad drunk, so what can you expect from their men?
48636They were all wounded?
48636Up to now the shells have spared the wonderful city hall, but will this delightful Flemish city suffer after the manner of Arras?
48636When I asked him what was the trouble he said:''Spik, maman?''
48636When the war is over and your husband or your son is asked,''What did you do in the great war?''
48636Where do you come from?''
48636Who is nursing you?
48636Who would have believed that I was taking it to a hospital?"
48636Would n''t that fease you?
48636You?
48636is he going to hang his head because you would not let him go?
29839Ai n''t he the livin''image of Jim?
29839And will you swear, too?
29839But I thought as how ye would n''t kill anything?
29839But how do you know there are sixteen or twenty beaver in my pond?
29839But tell me, why did you bring me away out here to_ this_ pond, to tell me all this, when you could have done it just as well at_ my_ pond?
29839But what do_ I_ care about_ trapping_ beaver?
29839But why do n''t you_ shoot_ the poor little beggars? 29839 But, father,"protested his wife, in a doubtful voice,"how kin I leave Lidy an''Joe here alone?"
29839But,continued Jabe,"what would ye say would most upset the beaver and make''em careless?"
29839Did ever you see the likes of it, father?
29839Hain''t I never set for hours in the wet ma''sh, never movin''a finger, waitin''for the geese?
29839Hain''t I never sneaked up on a watchin''buck, or laid so still I''ve fooled a bear?
29839Hardly seems fair to take them that way, does it?
29839If we take away their guns, what''s the good of making them swear?
29839So?
29839The children?
29839What are you going to do with them, Jabe?
29839What do you mean by that? 29839 What do you mean?"
29839What is it?
29839What size do you use for the beaver?
29839What''s it mean, Kid? 29839 Why-- where''ve they all gone to?"
29839You do n''t, hey, sonny?
29839You understand? 29839 An''what''s kep''you? 29839 And are you sure you could keep still long enough to see anything?
29839And why did n''t Dave speak?
29839And will you take oath, also, that you will never, in any way, try to get even with either him or me for having downed you this way?"
29839But what''s wrong here?
29839Can I have him, Unc''Joe?"
29839Had he any special business with us, do you suppose?"
29839How were they going to keep this unwelcome visitor from betraying them?
29839IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SAY, WHY NOT?
29839Now, supposin''you was goin''to trap, where would ye set the traps?"
29839See?"
29839That''s quicker for both, and just as easy for you, ai n''t it?"
29839Then he said:"That was a mighty slick shot of yourn, d''ye know it?
29839Then why had she not come?
29839What could it mean?
29839What will you show me?"
29839What''s all this blood all over ye?"
29839Where''s she gone to?"
29839Where''s your camp, men?"
29839Will you do as I ask you, or shall I go and get them?"
29839what''s happened to him?"
27887Ai n''t he a beauty?
27887Could we not save the Buffalo as range- cattle?
27887Did you never meet a Grizzly or a Mountain Lion?
27887Do n''t you draw any color line?
27887Harry, wo n''t you come out and let me take you back to mamma? 27887 If I come in a fur coat, will you treat me?"
27887Now what_ did_ I catch you for?
27887Say, bar- keep, who''s to pay?
27887What is that?
27887What is the meaning of this?
27887What the---- is the---- meaning---- of this----?
27887Where is my gun?
27887Who owns wild beasts? 27887 ***** And afar in Livingston what did the fur dealer care? 27887 As we neared camp he turned on me suddenly and said:Now, Mr. Seton, what_ is_ the meaning of this?
27887Could any simpler, smaller pleasure than his be discovered?
27887Did he take alarm and run?
27887Do any of you want a F- I- G- H- T----!-!-!?"
27887Do n''t you see I''ve made Elk medicine and got her hypnotized?
27887Harry, do n''t you know your mother?
27887How''ll you swap that quirt for my rifle?"
27887How?
27887How?
27887It was a great prize-- or the banker?
27887My wife sat up and exclaimed,"Is n''t it glorious?
27887Now I had him, what was I going to do with him-- kill him?
27887Now what is the meaning of it?"
27887Of what use are courage and strength when one can not reach the foe?
27887THE BADGER THAT RESCUED THE BOY And little Harry, meanwhile, where was he?
27887THE MOST WONDERFUL FUR IN THE WORLD What is the Silver Fox?
27887THE POACHER AND THE SILVER FOX How is it that all mankind has a sneaking sympathy with a poacher?
27887Then I said to my wife,"Have n''t_ you_ got nerve enough to help with this box?
27887What had he to fear-- he the little lord of all things with the power of smell?
27887Which is the one?"
27887Who can tell the crack of a small rifle among the louder cracks of green logs splitting with the fierce frost of a Yellowstone winter''s night?

3031Driven off thrice with gunshots, would she make another try to feed or free her captive young one?
3031For weeks afterward I was almost daily accosted by some anxious shepherd, who asked,"Have you seen any stray OTO sheep lately?"
3031Had she no head of game for this her only charge, or had she learned to trust his captors for his food?

3031Was it the wild, clanging cry that moved them, or was it solely the inner prompting then come to the surface?
3031Was she begging for mercy-- mercy from a bloodthirsty, cruel fox?
3031What did it all mean?

40758Why am I grown old in seeking so unprofitable a reward as fame?
40758Why does not some popular author give us a book upon this theme, and entitle it"Behind the Prison Bars"?
40758Would it not seem, in the light of these many instances, that practical labor forms the best training even for genius?
40758[ Footnote 147: We find these two verses in Thoreau''s published journal: I. Canst thou love with thy mind, And reason with thy heart?
40758[ Footnote 18: Is it generally known that among the accomplishments of his after years was that of music and an instrumental performer?
40758[ Footnote 8:"What can they see in the longest kingly line in Europe,"asks Sir Walter Scott,"save that it runs back to a successful soldier?"]
40758is there no bribing death?"
37328And what do you mean by it, sir? 37328 Are you mad, knocking about here like a magnetised mummy, and Tuesday the passing day?
37328Ay, where''s the doctor''s?
37328Be going for to join, I dessay, sir?
37328Beware of the Jews?
37328Can you take us over the bar?
37328God bless the dear old chap?
37328Going far, ma''am?
37328How much water you?
37328How much?
37328I''m afraid,said my friend(?
37328Is he?
37328Is it indeed, ma''am? 37328 Is it true, sir?--is it true?"
37328Let the gentleman pass, ca n''t you, Jack?
37328Mind yourself now,cried the commander to Quilp; to which he in wrath replied--"What for you stand there make bobbery?
37328My dear sir, excuse me, but it is just our dinner hour; nice roast turkey, and boiled leg of mutton with--"Any pickled pork?
37328Nonsense?
37328Now,said he, as he tendered the waiter a five- pound Bank of England note,"you must not take it amiss, Doctor, but--""No smaller change, sir?"
37328Stabird side, I dessay, sir?
37328Then,you inquire,"it is n''t six bells?"
37328What,said I,"have you anything the matter with your chest?"
37328What,said I,"is your father not then a Jew?
37328Where away to?
37328Where is the doctor''s?
37328Where''s the doctor''s grog?
37328Why so early to- day?
37328You seem cold, ma''am,said I;"will you permit me to offer you a very little brandy?"
37328And if army officers and men have been graciously permitted to wear the moustache since the Crimean war, why are not we?
37328And they all said"Where is the doctor''s?"
37328And what did I see from my elevated situation?
37328Another glass of beer?
37328Cabins?
37328Dick, Dick,"exclaims an honest- looking tar;"I see''d my poor wife tumble down; she had wee Johnnie in her arms, and-- and what will I do?"
37328Did it?
37328Did n''t the Roman youths dedicate the first few downy hairs of the coming moustache to the gods?
37328Does it not even beget a certain amount of respect for the wearer?
37328Does not the moustache give a manly appearance to the smallest and most effeminate?
37328Does the combatant officer treat the medical officer with respect?
37328Go to the American war, embark for the gold- diggings, enlist in a regiment of Sepoys, or throw myself from the top of Saint Paul''s?
37328I repeated, and added"eh?"
37328I suppose you want to go sticking your dirty wet oars in the air, do you?"
37328I''ve got neither sister, wife, nor mother, so surely it''s_ me_ that ought to be making a noodle of myself; but where''s the use?"
37328If so, why is it not used in building ships?
37328Is mahogany much superior to oak?
37328Mahogany, did I say?
37328No?
37328One may well ask why?
37328The first gentleman(?)
37328What becomes of the hundreds of thousands of slaves that are taken from Africa?
37328What do you mean by it?"
37328What if I were plucked?
37328What should I do?
37328What sort of guys would the razor make of Count Bismark, Dickens, the Sultan of Turkey, or Anthony Trollope?
37328What would the pictures of some of the great masters be without it?
37328Why did you not say so at first?
37328and echo answered"Where?"
37328says growler second,"_ I_ knew that ship; that was a mess, and no mistake?"
37328upon what island, tell us, doctor, does the mahogany tree grow, exist, and flourish?
37328what''s your name?"
37328wonder, now, if it makes a great many calls?
17567A royal pair, eh?
17567A thorn- bush-- what matter the precise name?
17567And alone?
17567And the bees?
17567And then?
17567And who should know it if not he, since it was the voice of his wife?
17567And why had it touched up Prickles as if with a live wire?
17567And why?
17567And, anyway, who can blame her?
17567And, by the way, you know the gnu, of course,_ alias_ wildebeest?
17567Another trap?
17567Anyway, the thrush on the lawn was a lady, and-- well, what would you?
17567At least, she had n''t for an hour and a half; but, then, what''s an hour and a half to a cat?
17567Besides, how about the squirrel overhead?
17567But do you think that made any difference?
17567But how was Blackie to know that, little owls being a comparatively new introduction into those parts?
17567But what is size, anyway?
17567But what the fangs and claws was she doing here?
17567By what?
17567Did she, indeed, ever love anything?
17567Did that ratel quit quick?
17567Did yer ever see th''like?"
17567Do n''t you?
17567Do ratels ever quit an unbeaten foe?
17567Got in among the trees-- yes, but dead- beat, and-- to what end?
17567He knew that it would hurt any one to attack him; the cat knew it; all rabbits in their senses knew it; but was that mother- rabbit in her senses?
17567He would have outdistanced you or me easily in no time, but it was not you or I that came, and who could tell how fast that something might travel?
17567His blood was up, and had not all who ever fought him allowed that he was the pluckiest beast on earth?
17567How could one tell?
17567No honey- guide?
17567Now, what is one to make of such a bird?
17567Now, what is one to say of such a cat?
17567Perhaps he saw, too, the gleam of hunger, the wild, cruel gleam that forgets all else, in her eyes; but who am I to say whether he understood it?
17567Pharaoh, old cat, are-- are you in there?"
17567Probably, quite probably, he had met Gulo the Indomitable before, and-- was not that enough?
17567Safe?
17567She certainly did her duty by it; but what was the use of setting up to be a queen, anyway, if she could not do that?
17567Sixteen feet to the ground he bounded, and twenty- two feet out from the bole of the tree he landed, and-- well, what d''you think of that?
17567Something?
17567That was all, but it was enough; was n''t it, boys?
17567The only difficulty was, who was going out first, and who alive, and who dead?
17567The wolf?
17567Then what?
17567Thousands upon thousands of wood- pigeons were asleep above his head, come from Heaven knows where, going to-- who could tell in the end?
17567VIII THE WHERE IS IT?
17567Was he ever anything else than on the war- path if he moved abroad at all?
17567What else did you expect?
17567What meant this unseemly disturbance of_ Phasianus''s_ domain?
17567What''s in a name, anyway?
17567What''s that?
17567What''s that?
17567What''s that?
17567What?
17567What?
17567What?
17567What_ could_ make any difference after_ that_?
17567Where had the old"varmint"gone?
17567Who can tell how much a cat sees, anyway?
17567Who can tell?
17567Who dares check the will of the king''s son?"
17567Who knows?
17567Why should they?
17567You know the size of pythons?
17567You know the ways of a pig?
17567You think it was a battle of patience?
17567from that of a gentleman of the same breed; or, perhaps-- but how do I know?
17567he said very quietly, quickly, gratingly, and tersely; and then, as if expecting an answer, added,"Eh?"
11506''And what then? 11506 ''Answer me at once,''returned the captain;''which party do you favor?''
11506''For whom are you?'' 11506 ''Gilbert, shall I divine your thoughts?''
11506''Well, now,_ does_ thee say so?'' 11506 ''What can that be?
11506''What the devil''s the matter?'' 11506 ''What, against such a host as we have just seen imaged out in the sky?''
11506''What, them Hessians, the bloody thieves?'' 11506 ''Why do we stop here,''roared the captain,''when it is as dark as Egypt?''
11506A sermon?
11506And why shall you always remember the death of those two men?
11506And why so?
11506But what became of the two sons who were captured by the tories and Indians?
11506But what were the circumstances which gave rise to it?
11506But would it be wise?
11506Ca n''t you tell him something about_ the_ man? 11506 Colonel Zebulon Butler, with his family, escaped from the fort before the massacre, I believe?"
11506Did he ever speak to you afterwards about violating the regulations of the army?
11506Did n''t they start a pursuit?
11506Did you ever hear how a Quaker lady, named Lydia Darragh, saved the army under Washington from being surprised?
11506Did you ever hear what became of him?
11506GRANDFATHER,said Thomas Jefferson Harmar,"wo n''t you tell us something about General Washington?"
11506How can cold snow keep men warm?
11506I say, Mr. Higgins,said old Harmar, wishing to change the subject,"do you recollect Jonathan Riley and Frank Lilly, that were in our company?"
11506I suppose Prescott paid for Lee soon afterwards?
11506I wonder where?
11506I''ll tell you of one old Jack Hanson told me-- you recollect old Jack, do n''t you, Harmar? 11506 If he had any conscience?"
11506Is it that story about Captain Edwards and Miss Williams, that Bill Moore used to tell?
11506Just place yourself in their position; and, knowing that several attempts had been made to blow up the ships, how would you have acted?
11506Let me see,said old Harmar;"where did I first meet you, Higgins?
11506Mr. Harmar, did you say the piece was your own composition?
11506Mr. Mortan, what do you think was the most interesting scene you saw during the war?
11506Mr. Smith, ca n''t we have a leaf from your experience in those trying times?
11506Of what use would that have been?
11506Old John Adams?
11506Tell us one of them, wo n''t you?
11506There; will that do for a story, Thomas Jefferson?
11506Was you on the watch?
11506What manoeuvre was that?
11506What''s that for?
11506Where was the scene of it?
11506Who is the Sir Erskine alluded to in the song?
11506Who learnt you to call him Mad Anthony Wayne?
11506Why did n''t each man stay at home, and take care of his own house?
11506Why did n''t they postpone the hanging of the man until there was a clear day?
11506Why?
11506You was n''t? 11506 ''A part-- where are the rest?'' 11506 ''And have they not taken the sword? 11506 ''And what do you say, Tom?'' 11506 ''But why may not the prisoner, too?'' 11506 ''Do n''t_ you_ know that dog?'' 11506 ''Do you think so?'' 11506 ''If that is not Fagan or some of his gang, never trust me!--why did you not give them a shot, the''tarnal thieves?'' 11506 ''Inform me immediately: Are you a mercenary of the tyrant of England, or a friend to liberty? 11506 ''Thee''s from Trenton?'' 11506 An officer galloped up from the house, and cried out,''What are you about? 11506 And how, in the name of wonder, came you here?'' 11506 Are then my dearest wishes gratified? 11506 Brethren, does not the solemn voice of nature seem to echo the sympathies of the hour? 11506 By the way, did you hear how General Nash was killed?
11506I know so; and why should he be here if his master was not?''
11506I should like to know how you contrived to get into the wilderness from the place where I last saw you?''
11506I wonder if history ever spoke of a greater and better man?"
11506Nathaniel thought this unnecessary of so cold a night, and a little suspicious--''Will not thy companions enter also?''
11506Need I exhort you to fight the good fight, to fight for your homesteads, and for your wives and children?
11506Now, in affright, he starts upright, Awaked by such a clatter: He rubs both eyes, and boldly cries,''For God''s sake, what''s the matter?''
11506Now, tell me, what is your opinion?''
11506Oh, are you not frightened?''
11506STORY OF GENERAL WAYNE"Grandfather,"said Thomas Jefferson Harmar,"wo nt you tell us something about Mad Anthony Wayne?"
11506Should I sit down in cowardly inaction, while others are sacrificing their lives in the struggle?
11506Should auld acquaintance be forgot And never brought to mind?
11506The friend that''s true, remember''d not, And days of auld lang syne?
11506The sentinel again demanded,''Who comes there?''
11506What can it mean?''
11506Why do you look incredulous?''
11506You saw them?''
11506or do I actually see armies marching through the clouds?''
11506was n''t it just before the battle of Brandywine you joined the Pennsylvania line?"
11506what say you, old grumbler?
35513An''air ye sure it''s a good one-- good enough to drag us''way out here on?
35513An''why not?
35513And when air ye goin''to start?
35513But whatever did he want o''my mitts?
35513Did anybody see him this mornin''?
35513Did n''t ye, Tug?
35513Did the book agent try to make up to Sis Hopkins?
35513Do n''t you see he''s took to the water? 35513 Do you think I''m goin''to hand over the child to a perfect stranger, just because he comes and says he''s the child''s uncle?
35513Does this belong to you, Andy Stevens?
35513Ef_ you_ do n''t know, Tug,said MacDonald,"who_ kin_ know?"
35513Hain''t ye caught on to Jim''s signs yet?
35513Have a weed?
35513Hev ye got any kind of a_ reel_ clue, d''ye think, now?
35513Hev ye got any reel idee to come an''go on, Tug?
35513How dare you interfere between my nephew and me? 35513 How do ye know it''s yourn, Andy?"
35513If ye''re so skeered o''me as ye look,demanded Peddler, in a crisp voice,"why do n''t ye turn an''vamoose,''stead o''backin''an''fillin''that way?
35513Jim likes the bear, sir,_ does n''t_ he?
35513Most an albino, ai n''t he?
35513Mr. Blackstock, I presume? 35513 Oh, do you think so?"
35513Well,she demanded,"is n''t Harner''s Bend a good place to come away from?
35513What are ye goin''to do about it, Tug?
35513What are you doin''here?
35513What d''ye make o''that?
35513What d''ye suppose he''s found there?
35513What do I care about the old shop? 35513 What do you make of it?"
35513What do you mean by that foolin''?
35513What does that prove?
35513What if there should be a fire at the mill? 35513 What is it, Hawker?"
35513What''ll ye bet that ye''re not mistaken, the both o''yez?
35513What''re you all starin''at me fer, boys?
35513What''s bears to you? 35513 What''s makin''you so sore, Sam?"
35513What''s that bit o''paper ye found under him, Tug?
35513What''s that?
35513Whatever ye been doin''to Jim, Sam?
35513Where am I, Jim?
35513Where is he?
35513Where''s Tug Blackstock?
35513Where''s he gone to?
35513Who''s been lettin''loose the menagerie? 35513 Why do n''t ye search him, Tug?"
35513Why should_ you_ not want to think, Mary?
35513Will you be so good as to direct me to him?
35513Ye bloomin''fool,shouted Hawker, again growing excited,"ye do n''t s''pose he''d be carryin''it on him, do ye?
35513Ye was sayin''as how ye''d jest come up from Cribb''s Ridge?
35513You''d never go back on me, would you, Jim, no matter what I''d done?
35513_ Kr- rr- rr- eee?_he murmured softly, as if in sarcastic interrogation.
35513_ Where_ did you say that hole in the tree was?
35513Ai n''t that a title for ye?
35513An''where in tarnation is that b''ar?"
35513And if so, who?
35513And me a dress- maker?
35513But what I want to know is, what authority have you to demand the child?"
35513But what river- man would come to grief in the Run at this stage of the water?
35513But where was Black Dan, that''s what I want to know?"
35513But why should you thank me?
35513Did it ever strike you that way, Tug?"
35513Do I look like the kind of girl that_ would n''t_ come away from Harner''s Bend?
35513Do n''t it show ye right off the kind of book it is?
35513Do you think I could settle down to spend my life in the backwoods?
35513Do you think I have no dreams beyond the spruce woods of Nipsiwaska County?
35513Do you think I''d ought to have stopped there?
35513Do you think you could imprison_ me_ in Brine''s Rip?
35513Guess we''ll call it square, eh?"
35513Had any one been disagreeable to Woolly Billy?
35513He could see it was a small child''s jacket, but what was he expected to do with it?
35513I guess yer interestin''hipotheesis do n''t quite fill the bill-- eh, Andy?"
35513I s''pose you''re thinkin''about your shop while ye''re away?"
35513Now, what''s the price?"
35513Or hev I got the nightmare, mebbe?"
35513Ought n''t there to be more than one night watchman in such dry weather as this?
35513That there skunk- oil on Dan''s moccasins fooled_ both_ Jim an''me, good an''plenty, did n''t it?"
35513The crowd''s excitement was somewhat damped by this pronouncement, and Hawker''s exasperating voice was heard to drawl:"No_ evidence_, hey?
35513Was it, too, he wondered, coming to attack the terrified sausage, or to defend it?
35513What d''ye mean by foolin''about after woodchucks a time like this?
35513What proofs have you?"
35513Whatever I''ve done, it''s been for Woolly Billy''s own sake-- ain''t it, Billy?"
35513Where''s your wings, Dan?
35513Will ye come out quietly an''give yerself up, or do ye want trouble?"
35513Would n''t the whole village go, like a box of matches?
35513and"Did ye ever hear the likes o''that?"
42270Did n''t she take any notice at all?
42270Did she read it?
42270Did she say anything?
42270Do you see that lady in the white dress?
42270Oh, what did people do before there were tennis and croquet and golf?
42270Shall I ever see it again?
42270What''s the matter?
42270Why could n''t she have settled in some decent place?
42270You do n''t know me, ma''am?
42270You do n''t remember me? 42270 You do n''t say so?"
42270You remember me?
42270You wo n''t go into the Chamber of Horrors, I suppose?
42270_ Now,_said he intensely,"do you wonder at my wanting to come back to my old school?"
42270''What''s this on the ground?''
42270And did he ever?
42270And was it too late?
42270And why do n''t you write what you understand?"
42270And why have I never seen such cows as those splendid, big, red Devon cows elsewhere?
42270Are they the real Queen Anne?
42270As for the delicious lurid function, snapdragon, is it obsolete in England yet?
42270But again-- what is there to marvel at?
42270But apart altogether from consideration of such conditions as were of the times and not of her individual choice, did she not know her business well?
42270But suppose the rector of Malling( I know nothing of him) should be an Evangelical?
42270But what could evade the lynx- eyed vigilance of the duenna of old?
42270But why should I say alas?
42270Could anything be more appropriate to the character of the town?
42270Could anything in city planning be happier in effect than the position of the cathedral in its quiet oasis amid the streets?
42270Could even Devonshire have composed a lovelier picture to live with?
42270Dare I hope that I am loved in return?"
42270Did I know this and that and the other about the family?
42270Did I know where the portrait was?
42270Did he say?
42270Do n''t you remember?"
42270Do you mean to say those we had at lunch yesterday were that price?"
42270Does that seem an incongruous association of ideas?
42270For little girls do cotton to little boys, and vice versa, and why not?
42270For where would be the interest and inspiration of life without something to want that you can not get, but that it is open to you to try for?
42270From the old garden, out of the stupendous trees( are there trees in England to rival Norfolk trees?
42270Had I outlived my long, long hope?
42270How was that?"
42270How_ could_ she?
42270In the priest''s chapel, then?
42270Is it not possible that the despisers would give almost anything to be able to say the same?
42270It was too late now, I concluded, and so what was the use of fussing any more?
42270Might it possibly have been the same"something"that he divined?
42270No sooner were we disentangled than my aunt, almost as flustered as I was, sternly demanded of me:"Did you see that?"
42270Now, was not that a sensible idea?
42270One thing I wish I had asked the sweet- maker: Are they allowed to worship in the nuns''chapel?
42270Or the boy I ca n''t bear?
42270Or:"Oh, why did she flatter my boyish pride?
42270Sinking upon a bench in the grateful air I said to my niece:"My dear, do you happen to see amongst all these people anyone you know?"
42270The boy I like( though I may never have exchanged a word with him)?
42270The question:"Was I fit to be left?"
42270Then would we all come back and dine with him to- morrow?
42270Things that have been improved upon ought to go, but why abandon those that still remain desirable?
42270To their excited"Where?
42270Was it, reader?
42270What girl- child makes dolls''clothes-- proper dolls''clothes-- now?
42270What is there to take the place of clogs and pattens in usefulness to the class which once wore them?
42270What must Cockington be in spring?
42270What old man looks back on this experience otherwise than with the feeling that he has seen the Golden Age?
42270What shall I leave my godson?"
42270What, I wondered, did my schoolgirl idol and apostle of beauty, Ruskin, think of this ditch when it was a- making?
42270When I think again, I have to ask myself,"Why should I?"
42270Where is that pleasant- voiced, happy- faced daughter of the old inn now?
42270Where, I wondered, as I looked at the blank windows, where were they now?
42270Where, then, was the harm?
42270Where?"
42270Who asks me to be his?
42270Who can wonder?
42270Who lauds my beauty in such ardent verse?
42270Who sent that?
42270Who sent this?
42270Why was that?
42270You are Mrs C., are you not?"
42270You remember those dances of the fifties, dear reader who went to them?
42270he asked me before us both, and what could I say?"
42270obtruded itself into the settled policy: it logically resolved itself into the further question:"Was I fit to go?"
42270when will parsons learn common- sense?
47811''Ai n''t you glad to know that I''m to get married?'' 47811 ''But why should you act upon a different rule from other men?''
47811''Do I look nice now, mother?'' 47811 ''Do you consider your life worth more than other people''s?''
47811''Do you think any of your company would have missed you if you had been killed?'' 47811 ''Honor bright?''
47811''How is it, Jake?'' 47811 ''How?''
47811''I good- naturedly said to him,''the President replied,''Senator, that is just about from here to the Capitol, is it not?"
47811''John,''said he,''did n''t you promise to let me do all the swearing of the regiment?'' 47811 ''Never say nothing, if I tell you?''
47811''Of course I am,''was the reply;''but,''putting his mouth close to the ear of the other,''have ye asked Morrissey yet?'' 47811 ''Run at the first fire, did you?''
47811''Stood your ground, did you?'' 47811 ''Then patriotism and honor are nothing to you?''
47811''Then you must value it very highly?'' 47811 ''Well, but have you no regard for your reputation?''
47811''Well,''asked the Governor, impatiently,''I suppose you''re innocent like the rest of these fellows?'' 47811 ''Were you honorably discharged?''
47811''Were you in the fight?'' 47811 ''What did you say then?''
47811''What luck have you?'' 47811 ''Yes, I know you do; but how do you do it?''

47811Blair,said the President,"did you ever know that fright has sometimes proven a cure for boils?"

47811Could she do other things than wash?
47811Did Stanton say I was a d-- d fool?
47811Do you mean to say that the President is a d-- d fool?

47811Hey? 47811 How many men have the Confederates now in the field?"
47811How''s that, Uncle Tommy?

47811In what respect?
47811Is anybody meddling with her?
47811No, Mr. President, how is that?
47811Part of the time you get along all right, do n''t you?
47811Then with a twinkle in his eye, he continued:''I suppose the Indians out there call it Minneboohoo, do n''t they?
47811Uncle Tommy, you have n''t had any fights with Jim, have you?
47811Was your Betsy Ann an obliging woman?
47811We won the case, did n''t we?
47811Well, now, Uncle Tommy, you see this horse of mine? 47811 What seems to be the matter?"
47811What worst, may I ask?
47811Where is Betsy Ann?
47811Where is your room?
47811Why not?
47811Why, Mr. President, are you sick?
47811''Hold on,''said the other,''do n''t you want to see the hog?''
47811''Why, Mr. Lincoln, what''s the matter with the boys?''

47811After they had gone, a friend who was present, said:"Mr. Lincoln, you did not seem to know the young men?"
47811At last Mr. Lincoln asked, with inimitable gravity,"Was Betsy Ann a good washerwoman?"

47811Has a man what''s been elected justice of the peace a right to issue a marriage license?''

45386Abe stretched his lank neck to its greatest altitudinous tension and said,"What-- so, Sir?"
45386After he''d got a terrible pounding by the school master, someone asked him how he felt?
45386Among other questions, Uncle Abe asked:"Do the Methodist clergy in your State take to secession?"
45386Are they not abroad in all lands, whispering to earth''s downtrodden millions like a voice of hope?
45386Are they not heard in the sigh of the mountain pine?
45386Are they not hovering over us in the air of the still summer day?
45386Are they not wailing upon the winds that sweep over our prairies?
45386As soon as the Judge recovered his equanimity he asked:"Upon what grounds is so extraordinary a motion made?"
45386But how to quit?
45386Can you tell me the use of a man''s nipples?"
45386Cartright?"
45386Charley W------, on going through the fair grounds, looked into the"Richmond House,"and said--"Well, boys, how do you get along?"
45386Demanded old Whitey?
45386Did he wish to woo them?
45386Did n''t run away, did you?"
45386Had he gone-- what?
45386Halleck?"
45386Has it"Gin Out?"
45386However, Abe enquired very minutely, where Snooks lived?
45386I''d like to know what we wants of a parson to make laws for us?
45386Instantly the attention of a countryman was fixed, upon him, who, at the first opportunity accosted him--"From Peoria, Squar?"
45386Lincoln?"
45386Mrs. Lincoln was nearly non- plussed, but exclaimed in a consoling voice,"Is your Honor hurt?"
45386Some one recently asked Uncle Abe why he did n''t promote merit?
45386Then what on airth do you live on?"
45386They surprised and captured the man, and brought him down to the bar- room; but what to do with him?
45386Uncle Abe being asked once why he walked so crookedly?
45386Uncle Abe?
45386What is your opinion about them?"
45386What the-------- are you about?"
45386Where''ve you been?"
45386Whilst Uncle Abe was passing, in his flat- boat, a small town on the Wabash, an old chum accosted him from shore thus:--"Uncle Abe, are you asleep?"
45386Why, gentlemen, would you believe me?
45386and where was this creature then?
45386exclaimed Joe,"that lean, lank gawky?
45386exclaimed Uncle Abe,"and it was you who made me President, was it?"
45386has the printing machine gin out?"
45386just one line?"
45386rejoined Uncle Abe,"can you inform me gentlemen, where General Grant procures his whisky?"
45386said the landlord, brightening up,"in what respect is that?"
45386shouted a voice of thunder, and the body and sleeves?
45386you do n''t want a pilot nor nothin''about this''ere craft, do ye?"
889Were you brought up in Europe and educated?
889: What had Miss Carl been saying?
889A little boy like you come to fight me?
889After Miss Carl had left the Court, Her Majesty asked me one day:"Did she ever ask you much about the Boxer movement of 1900?"
889After she had passed the camera she turned and asked my brother:"Did you take a picture?"
889After that we return to the Sea Palace, and what can we do with this artist?
889And even if this can be satisfactorily arranged, what about the Winter Palace in the Forbidden City?
889And how do you know that these are my favorites and have placed them near me?
889Another thing-- did you notice that Mrs. Conger handed a parcel to Miss Carl out in the courtyard when she came in?"
889Are these good presents?
889Are you all tired?"
889Are you hungry?
889Are you not dizzy turning round and round?
889Are you standing on your head or feet?"
889Before we had time to explain to her, she said:"I see, dresses with tails behind must be more dignified than short ones, am I right?"
889Ca n''t they see that the veranda is wet?"
889Can you guess what it is?"
889Coming again?"
889Continuing, she said:"By the way, how long will it take before this portrait is finished?"
889Could you get Chinese food when you were abroad, and were you homesick?
889Did any of the foreign ladies ever tell you that I am a fierce- looking old woman?"
889Did n''t I tell you she was watching you when you pulled my sleeve?
889Did you enjoy yourself while you were there, and do you wish to go back again?
889Did you really study to acquire all those languages or was it drinking the water that gave them to you?"
889Did you sleep at all?"
889Do n''t you think that our own customs are much nicer?"
889Do they consider me a man of character and do they think me clever?
889Do you have to jump up and down with men?
889Do you know how the Boxer rising began?
889Do you remember what Her Majesty said to you?
889Do you think they are beautiful?"
889Do you think they, the foreigners, really like me?
889Do you think you know enough Chinese to read this map?"
889Does she speak Chinese?"
889Evans?"
889Has she found out yet that you are there simply to keep an eye upon her?"
889He looked surprised and asked:"Can you take pictures, too?
889Her Majesty exclaimed:"Why is it your head is upside down?
889Her Majesty said to me:"Why ca n''t you win once?"
889Her Majesty said:"I would like to see how you jump, can you show me a little?"
889Her Majesty said:"Why must you change your clothes?
889Her Majesty then enquired:"Do you think that this Artist lady will paint my picture to look black also?
889Her Majesty turned to me and said:"Have you ever witnessed such an operation?"
889Her Majesty walked along a little way, then laughed and said to me:"Do n''t I look more comfortable now?
889How dare she suggest that you would say anything against Miss Carl?
889How dare they give orders without receiving instructions from me first?
889How did you learn?
889How is Yu Keng?"
889How is it?"
889How would you like to look after her?
889I can see that it is myself all right, but why is it that my face and hands are dark?"
889I order you to bring all your things to this place, but what is your father going to do?
889I told her that perhaps Mrs. Conger thought I wanted to advise her to refuse this request, but Her Majesty said:"What does that matter?
889I was very much surprised to see Court ladies doing this kind of work and I said to myself, if I come here will I have to do this sort of thing?
889I wonder who made that story up?
889Is it bad luck?"
889Is it true that the foreigners do n''t respect their parents at all- that they could beat their parents and drive them out of the house?"
889Is that true?"
889Is this dress only worn on certain occasions, or is it worn any time, even when gentlemen are present?"
889Matters became worse day by day and Yung Lu was the only one against the Boxers, but what could one man accomplish against so many?
889Now, where can we put her?
889One day Her Majesty asked me:"What kind of medicine does a foreign doctor usually give in case of a fever?
889Plancon say yesterday?
889She again asked me what was my objection to getting married; was I afraid of having a mother- in- law, or what was it?
889She again examined the portrait and said:"Why is it that one side of your face is painted white and the other black?
889She asked me:"How do you like this kind of life?"
889She asked:"Do you not think this food has more flavor than that prepared by the cooks?"
889She came out and said:"I want to see you people eat; why is it that you are standing at the end of the table, the best dishes are not there?
889She could not understand this at all, and exclaimed:"Why has this gone black?
889She looked surprised and said:"Why did n''t you tell me that before?
889She said that I had guessed right, and asked:"Do you know anything about this audience?
889She said to me:"I know you can wear my shoes, for I tried yours on the first day you came, do n''t you remember?
889She said:"How is it that these foreign ladies have such large feet?
889She said:"If her brother has been in the Customs service for so long, how is it that she does n''t speak Chinese also?"
889She said:"Oh, must you jump with music?"
889She said:"What kind of a place is this wonderful Paris I have heard so much about?
889She sat up on the bed, smiled, and said:"Are you glad to come back?
889She smiled and asked:"Have you had a good rest?
889Tell me, have you yet changed your opinion with regard to foreign customs?
889Tell me, is not this so?"
889That night one Court lady came over to me while I was sitting on the veranda and said:"I wonder if you will look nice in Manchu dress?"
889Then I heard Her Majesty say to the Emperor,"Is that correct?"
889Then she asked us:"Is it very tiring to hold half of your dress in your hand when you are walking?
889Then she said:"Has anyone told you to put them away as soon as I am finished with them?
889They asked:"Do you think you would like to live in this place, and how long do you intend to stay?"
889This Li was indeed a bad and cruel man, and said:"Why not beat him to death?"
889Was she really pleased?
889What does the Emperor know?
889What is dancing?
889What is the general opinion amongst the foreigners regarding myself?
889What is the matter with you?"
889What is the use of changing everything?
889When Her Majesty saw me, she asked me:"Where have you been?"
889When will he be able to come to the Court?
889When will it take place?"
889While we were talking Her Majesty said that she felt chilly and asked:"Are you cold?
889Who can the rest of the people be?
889Who told you to come and wake me?"
889Who told you?"
889Why are your arms and neck all bare?
889Why could n''t they leave China to deal with her own subjects and mind their own business a little more?
889Why did n''t you show them to me before?"
889Would n''t it be foolish to have a school at the Palace; besides, where am I going to get so many girls to study?
889and on my brother answering that he had, Her Majesty said:"Why did n''t you tell me?
889it is you, is it?
19220''And why, Counsellor, would you wish that I were Saint Peter?'' 19220 And is all this really so?"
19220And now, sir,said he to Cumin,"I do n''t see as I am to be better off for this, if I get my second hundred again; but how is that to be done?"
19220By virtue of your oath, are you positive that this is the same hat?
19220Can you say that without a sigh?
19220Did you examine it carefully before you swore in your informations that it was the prisoner''s?
19220Do you ever expect to visit it again?
19220Have you been long out of your native country?
19220How can you so tamely bear the censures I pronounce against your country?
19220How, do you know my name?
19220Moriarty, sir, is my name, and a good one it is; and what have you to say agen it? 19220 Mr. O''Connell, what part of the fowl shall I help you to?"
19220Of what regiment, pray?
19220One- and- sixpence for a walking- stick? 19220 Then you are a man of family?"
19220This is the same hat?
19220Well, Darby,said the Counsellor, taking him on the cross- examination,"you told the whole truth to that gentleman?"
19220Well, what interesting topic engages your attention now?
19220Well,said O''Connell,"he is found guilty?"
19220What is that you say, fellow?
19220What is the matter?
19220What is your name?
19220What then, sir?
19220What''s that you call me, you murderin''villian?
19220What, Roger, wo n''t you buy the poultry?
19220Why then, sir, I am come to demand of you, whether you are the author of this poem( producing it), and the villanous lines on me?
19220Why, what sort of a creature are you,exclaimed he,"to commit a fault which can not be mended?"
19220Will you have an apple- pie, sir? 19220 Yet you do not seem angry?"
19220You''re an Englishman, Sir?
19220Your share of it; now by virtue of your oath, was not your share of it_ all but the pewter_?
19220''And pray, monsieur,''rejoined John Bull to the Frenchman,''why_ encore_?''
19220''And would you burn me?''
19220''And would you,''she asked,''burn me alive?''
19220''For what?''
19220''Why do you not answer me, sir?''
19220( How d''ye do, Pat?)
19220--"Well, my Lord, I was hurrying here as fast as ever I could-- I did not even change my dress-- I hope I shall be excused for coming in my boots?"
19220A junior counsel asked the witness,"What is the meaning of the military phrase,''ride him down?''"
19220Are these the materials of which we suppose anarchy and public rapine to be formed?
19220Ay boys, ai nt ye all dry?"
19220Being asked, upon what subject?
19220But your Riverence, I suppose, has law for it?
19220Can you behold him without shame and indignation?
19220Do you think it wise or humane at this moment to insult them, by sticking up in a pillory the man who dared to stand forth as their advocate?
19220Does he disobey the laws?
19220Has the bigoted malignity of any individual been crushed?
19220Have any alarms been occasioned by the emancipation of our Catholic brethren?
19220Have you not marked how the human heart bowed to the supremacy of his power, in the undissembled homage of deferential horror?
19220Have you not marked, when he entered, how the stormy wave of the multitude retired at his approach?
19220He then spelled aloud the name James-- slowly, thus:--"J-- a-- m-- e-- s.""Now, do you mean those words were in the hat when you found it?"
19220He was about to resume his seat, when the judge, Baron M''Cleland, said, with a peculiar emphasis,"Mr. O''Connell, have you a_ brief_ in this case?"
19220His cause would not allow him to be fair; for why is the rule adopted in this single action?
19220His first compliment when he saw her a little time afterwards was,"Pray, madam, are you as proud and ill- natured now as when I saw you last?"
19220How came you to leave all the Lords that you are so fond of, to come here to see a poor Dean?"
19220How long shall mortals bend to gain?
19220How long shall vice triumphant reign?
19220How long shall virtue hide her face, And leave her votaries in disgrace?
19220How otherwise happens it, that modern slavery looks quietly at the despot on the very spot where Leonidas expired?
19220I wonder where you stole''em: Could nothing but thy chief reproach Serve for a motto on thy coach?
19220In the other case, how does the work of sedition go forward?
19220Is this fancy, or is it fact?
19220Is this the man on whom to fasten the abominable charge of goading on a frantic populace to mutiny and bloodshed?
19220Let me see what should I have had?
19220Now there is a market exactly in the road by which I had to pass-- your Lordship may perhaps recollect the market-- do you?"
19220On our coming in,"Hey- day, gentlemen( says the Doctor), what''s the meaning of this visit?
19220On their arrival, the bear was still on duty, and O''Leary stepped up to him, says:--''_Cianos tha''n thu, a Phadhrig_?''
19220Or do you wish to prepare them for the revocation of these improvident concessions?
19220Or has the stability of the government or that of the country been weakened?
19220Or is one million of subjects stronger than four millions?
19220Speaking of the liberty of the press, he says--"What, then, remains?
19220The assertion is just; but has he treated you fairly by its application?
19220The officer then said,"Is it true Mr. O''Connell has been shot?"
19220Then you are reconciled to your fate?"
19220Think not so poor a book below thy care; Who knows the price that thou canst make it bear?
19220Well, what does Paddy do?
19220What brought you to this country?"
19220What was it?--what was it?"
19220What''s- your- Name?"
19220When they came to the Phoenix park, Swift remarked a new building which he had never seen, and asked what it was designed for?
19220Where am I to seek it?
19220Where do you think he was hit?"
19220Where is there a possibility of obtaining defensive evidence?
19220Who, then, are the parties?
19220Why, you potato- faced pippin- sneezer, when did a Madagascar monkey like you pick enough of common Christian dacency to hide your Kerry brogue?"
19220Will you have a cherry- pie, sir?
19220Will you have a currant- pie, sir?
19220Will you have a gooseberry- pie, sir?
19220Will you have a pigeon- pie, sir?"
19220Will you have a plum- pie, sir?
19220With what feelings can you regard a rank that he has so tarnished, and a patent that he has so worse than cancelled?
19220let him in by all means.--Well, friend, what do you want to say to me about my coffin?''
19220none here but you_?"
19220or to refuse a letter from any one?
19220said Swift,"and may I command here, as in my own house?"
19220said he,"is it because I am in your power that you dare to take these liberties with me?
19220who can tell the length of Eternity?''
19220who would listen to_ him?_ I always walk out of the House when he opens his lips,""Come, Peel,"said Lord Westmoreland,"let me hear your opinion."

45748Now, do n''t you boys know that nobody can catch fish in this stream except with my-- er-- a-- special permit?

15413At length he put a poser--"And pray, sir, how are turnips this year?"
15413At length, after a great many sarcastic remarks, one of them, yawning, said,"Well, what shall we do with ourselves this evening?"

18934But who was she?
18934But why was this period riper for magnificent deeds and noble literature than any other in English history?
18934But would it not have been rather hard on me to have had to forsake my books for the sake of Gilray''s flowers and flower- pots and plants and things?
18934But, after all, my mother is older than I am; and who am I, to set my views up against hers?
18934Did I really mean to do this, or was I only trying to cheat my conscience?
18934Did he, or did he not, mean to try that tobacco?
18934Do you fancy me explaining that he is quite right in saying that Nottingham has a large market- place?
18934Do you imagine me thirsting to tell that Mr. Labouchere is the Christian member for Northampton?
18934Do you now note the same symptoms?

18934Does not her attachment to me give her a claim upon me?
18934Does the freed slave always shiver at the crack of a whip?
18934For me, would it not be the better part to show her that the greatest happiness of the greatest number should be my first consideration?
18934Had Pettigrew, then, any ground for insinuating that I did not mean to try it?
18934Have you experienced a sudden sinking at the heart, followed by thrills of exultation?
18934Having given them this warning, can it be said that I was to blame-- at least, to any considerable extent?
18934He cried out,"Who is that?"
18934How happily we entered it; were we the same persons who left it within an hour?
18934How long ago is that?''
18934I presume, too, that you feel most depressed in the evening-- say, immediately after dinner?''
18934I put it to any sensible man or woman, could I have been expected to give up my friends for the sake of a chrysanthemum?
18934I said,"Have you killed him?"
18934I said,"Is that the editor?"
18934If I had begun the day with a meerschaum, might it not have shown itself in a new light?
18934Is this love, after all?
18934Is this passion?
18934My brother wrote me saying he had received something from me, for which his best thanks; but would I tell him what it was, as it puzzled everybody?
18934My dream is the following criticism: What is the Critics''Dramatic Society?
18934My father had been very good to me; why, then, should I do that which I had promised him not to do?
18934Nay, more, in a pathetic case of this kind, have I not a certain responsibility?
18934Now, what is to be done?
18934Often they took the form of postscripts:"By the way, are you watering my chrysanthemum?"
18934One day he wrote to me saying that his nephew was going to Bombay, and would I be so good as to give the youth an introduction to my brother Henry?
18934Or what do you say to the housekeeper''s giving me a shilling of it, and not sending the neckties?
18934Should it not be in flood before we know what we are about?
18934The heroine, in frantic excitement, has to pass through his smoking room, and on the table she sees-- what?
18934The pose of the head, the hands clasped behind it, a trick so irritatingly familiar to me-- was that the French girl?
18934The question for me, therefore, is, Is this the beginning of a tempestuous, surging passion?
18934The question was, what was the proper thing for me to do?
18934Then he said, with affected jocularity:"Well, young man, do you know that you are an uncle?"
18934WHAT COULD HE DO?
18934WHAT COULD HE DO?
18934Was there not less in him than met the eye?
18934Was this right?
18934We were never baffled, for"Jimmy''s touches"were unmistakable; and"Have you seen Jimmy this week in the_ Saturday_ on Lewis Morris?"
18934Well, do I experience such sensations, or do I not?
18934What I ask myself is-- first, What is it?

18934What does the lady say?"
18934What is it?
18934What right has a man to go and make a garden of his chambers?
18934What?
18934Where are the spills?
18934Who can say what might happen if I were to fling that cupboard door open in presence of my wife?
18934Who can tell?
18934Who can withstand that music?
18934Why ca n''t you leave me alone?
18934Why do n''t you try the_ Sporting Times?_ Yours faithfully, J. MOGGRIDGE, Ed.
18934Why?
18934Will you help me-- and her?"
18934With the servants flinging out the flower- pots faster than I could water them, what more could I have done?
18934Would I have a cigar?
18934Yes, but why did I love this one?
18934You are not asleep, are you?

42228Ah, Conway,drawled the new- comer,"so we have arrived at last, and this is the hotel you recommended, is it?
42228But yourself?
42228But,he continued,"how long start will you give me?"
42228Did you eat meat to- day?
42228Do you mean to tell me that that black fellow can see spoor going at this pace and over such ground as we are now on?
42228Do you think he will be able to track them?
42228Fast, is it?
42228First, why did the chief attack us? 42228 Halt, who goes there?"
42228How on earth does he know that?
42228If so, what then?
42228Is it not written,I said,"''He that lendeth to the poor giveth to the Lord''?
42228Is your head well above water, and can you hang on till I get help from the fort?
42228Look for you?
42228Lost in the bush?
42228Now, what made you come here?
42228Sure, and do n''t I know that?
42228Tracks?
42228Well, and whose fault is that now? 42228 What do you mean?
42228What have they been doing to you to capsize you in this fashion, and why do n''t you take water with your pongello?
42228What have you given the colonel?
42228What the deuce have you been up to, Mike?
42228What''s that?
42228Where are they?
42228Who has been here? 42228 Who the devil has been here, you drunken blackguard?"
42228Why, Davy, what''s the matter?
42228Why, what''s gone wrong with you?
42228Will they become converted and join the Hau Haus?
42228Will you try some, sir?
42228Word of honour?
42228Again I not pointed him out the dangers he ran in attacking a Christian?
42228Again, how did he escape my search and that of other parties who had looked for him?
42228And were we not responsible for the honour of it?
42228And what greater calamity was possible to mortal man than to have an obscene lizard grow out of his hand?
42228And, above all, why did not a lion skoff him?
42228Another thing, what were they doing there?
42228Are you much hurt?"
42228Are you one?"
42228But then why, O Te Parione, did he forbid us food and water?
42228But, then, what will not some men risk for notoriety?
42228By the way, what is the strength of your invading force?"
42228Could I not give him some sound advice?
42228Could he not be allowed to sleep longer?
42228Did you imbibe the faith?"
42228Do n''t you hear the row the boys are making inspanning, or see the river in front of you?"
42228Do n''t you see the waggons?
42228Do n''t you see you are on the road?
42228Do you mind taking him with you?
42228Do you want work of that sort?"
42228Had I not assured him that the mana of the white man''s God was far stronger than the mana of his pagan deities?
42228Had he believed me and taken my advice?
42228Had he brought his dress out with him?
42228Had it not knocked him over and over again, and that with the peaceful end of it?
42228Had it not made him see more stars in a few minutes than he had ever before seen in his whole life?
42228Had not the Waikatos lent us their pah to live in?
42228Have you removed anything from it?"
42228He was game to lead, were the twenty- five game to follow?
42228How could we give it up?
42228How could we give up the pah?
42228How dare you grin over my shoulder like that?"
42228I jumped forward and seized him, saying:"What''s the matter with you?
42228If we had prevented you from obtaining food, how could you have continued to fight?"
42228If you had fallen three days ago where would you have been now?"
42228It was clear that the first thing to be done was to get the natives to come back to their kainga; but how?
42228Long odds, my gentle reader?
42228My friend was raving mad, and wanted me at once to alarm my troopers, but I said:"No; you''d got your gun with you just now, why did you not use it?"
42228No; had they not seen the beast come out of my hand at the very moment I was relating my dream?
42228Now I hold pen instead of carbine and revolver, but why should memories of the old days pass away?
42228Now was that Hau Hau, blood- stained brute as he undoubtedly was, a martyr or only a bally fool?
42228Now what in the name of Comus could Jack want with a wheelbarrow?
42228Oh, how can you say that?
42228Peering over, I could see nothing, so shouted:"Steve, are you much hurt?"
42228Presently along''e comes, and sez''e to me, sez''e:''Brother, wherefore did you assault me while in the water?''
42228Stubbs, another of the Englishmen, was stabbed by a boy, and when he felt it was his death wound exclaimed:"Am I to be killed by a boy like you?"
42228The General knew they had no water, then why did he risk the lives of his splendid men by ordering futile assaults?
42228The man thereupon brought out the bottle from his haversack, and said to him:"Do you think this would do you any good, sir?"
42228Then he cursed them with unction, but that succeeded no better, till at last, thoroughly angry, he shouted out:"Oh, you want a smash, do you?
42228Then who was to blame?
42228Then, turning to his people, he would say:"What is the use of this crying?
42228True, I only had my sheath knife and fingers to eat with, but what of that?
42228Was I not fighting in the Crimee with your honourable father before he was breeched?
42228Was I spiteful?
42228Was I, fool as I had been, to lose my head and run mad through the bush like an untrained new chum?
42228Was he growing wings like a duck, or, perchance, fins like a fish?
42228Was the river uncrossable?
42228Was there no soda water?
42228Was there not great danger from wild animals and snakes?
42228We were thin, footsore, our legs torn, our kit in rags; but what mattered that?
42228What are you doing here?"
42228What became of his rifle, boots and clothes?
42228What for did yer try to drown me?''
42228What had happened?
42228What is the cause of this awful smell, and what have you been making such a row about?"
42228What man dare make fun of, or render ridiculous, the dignity and majesty of the head chiefs of the Arawa tribe?
42228What on earth use could the gift of tongues be to a man when there was not to be a single foreigner left in the country with whom to collogue?
42228What then should be done with Pehi and his party?
42228What was to be done?
42228What was to be done?
42228What will I do?
42228What will I do?"
42228What''s that you say?
42228Where was he to sleep?
42228Where, therefore, would be the fun if he could not kill his enemy, eat him, nor turn his bones into useful and ornamental articles?
42228Why did they not go for me?
42228Why now should I let these childish qualms assail me and funk shadows?
42228Why?
42228Will yez call on the blessed saints or not, ye contumacious blaggard?"
42228Would I give it him?
42228Would he do me a very great favour?
42228a horse ca n''t understand you?
42228he was a poor man, he had none; but would I not lend him the gun, just to shoot one Christian with?
42228rifles, and that you will take three or four batteries of artillery, rockets, etc., and that a percentage of your natives will be armed with rifles?"
42228tell me I was too small?
21755''Ave you never seen''em since?
21755''Ow much for a fard''n?
21755Ah, ai n''t it prime? 21755 An''did ye see nothin''more of''er arter that?"
21755An''what are statters?
21755An''what was they?

21755Are you all right on deck?
21755Are you an honest boy?
21755Are you goin''to bust yourself wi''larfin'', by way of gettin''a happetite for the breakfast that you hain''t no prospect of?
21755But suppose he is not ruined-- that he manages, by gambling, to support himself?
21755But what if the gambler has no family?
21755Could I find Saint Paul''s, or the Moniment? 21755 Could you find it again?"
21755D''ye want''em?
21755Do you believe that a miser is a morally diseased man?
21755Does he?
21755Does it not?
21755For why?
21755For_ one_ fard''n?
21755Haere du, fiskman,( hear you, fisherman), she cried,"vil du har otte skillings?"
21755How deep is it?
21755How ever did you manage it, Dick?
21755How many child''n, say''ee? 21755 How many have you had altogether, Dan?"
21755Howlet,said the other impressively,"d''ye think the Wilkins is livin''in the same place still?"
21755I see you''re in a hurry; how much do you want?
21755If so, why do you lose interest in the game when there are no stakes?
21755Is n''t that much the same thing?
21755Is not that fatalism of the most pronounced nature, Tom?
21755Man alive I do n''t ye know? 21755 May I sit up in the dining- room to- night, father, till two in the morning?"
21755Please, sir, does the Wilkins stop here?
21755Pump, sur?
21755That, sur? 21755 Then I suppose that you consider gambling, even to the smallest extent, to be sin?"
21755There-- wasn''t that a light?
21755Under which of the ten commandments does it fall?
21755Well, what happened arter that?
21755Well,said he,"what would you think of trying to write a story?"
21755What d''ee want?
21755What disease?
21755What does it pump?
21755What ever is it?
21755What may be your text?
21755What street?
21755What was the use o''my goin''to see''em w''en I''ad nothin''to give''em?
21755What would you advise, old man?
21755What''s that?
21755What''s that?
21755What-- the young man from the country as I''ve see''d standin''at the dock gates day after day for weeks without getting took on?
21755Where away?
21755Where?
21755Why so, Captain Bolter?
21755Why, what ever is the matter with you?
21755Wonder if his mother''as any more like''i m?
21755Would I wait where I was until he returned?
21755Yes-- ain''t it jolly convenient?
21755You do n''t mean it, do you?
21755You mind Dick Wilkin, do n''t you?
21755You see that mark there, sir, on Smith''s Ledge?
21755You''ve not mentioned this to any one, have you, Pat?
21755` Are you a gardener?'' 21755 ` Did you expect to find me in the dinin''-room?''
21755` Do it?'' 21755 ` That?''
21755''Ave you forgotten Howlet?"
21755( will you have eight skillings?)
21755An anxious father says-- if he does not also pray--"What shall I train my boy to be?"
21755And what says the word?
21755But go on, old fellow, what more have you to say against gambling-- for you have not yet convinced me?"
21755But how to do it?
21755But is it not singular that you should doubt the only incident in the story which I personally verified?
21755But what did you dream about''em?"
21755But what fraction of good is done by the gambler in all the wide world?"
21755But what has all this to do wi''your dream?"
21755Comed it soft over the''ousemaid; said I was a gardener in search of a job, an''would she mind tellin''me where the head- gardener was?
21755Did you ever notice that?"
21755Do you know how to tie two blankets or sheets together, so that the knot shall not slip?
21755Do you know how you would attempt to throw water on the walls of one of your rooms, if it were on fire near the ceiling?
21755Do you know of any other mode of exit from your house than by the front or back doors and the staircase?
21755Does not the rich gambler walk away with the money that was due to the poor one''s butcher, baker, brewer, etcetera?"
21755Does the agreement make wrong right?"
21755Fire away, Dick; what see''d you about the statoos?"
21755Has it ever occurred to you to think what you would do if your house took fire at night?
21755Have I not rather, on the contrary, got credit among my friends for being somewhat of a spendthrift?
21755Have you a rope at home which would support a man''s weight, and extend from an upper window to the ground?
21755Have''ee seen anything o''the Red Cross Fleet?"
21755Hence devolves upon every one the responsibility of putting and finding an answer to the question-- How shall I make the best of life?
21755Is it for the sake of getting money that you gamble?"
21755Is it then between themselves?
21755Is not that fair?"
21755Is not this partly owing to that fatal habit of nailing the colours?
21755Is there not something very mean and contemptible in this state of being?
21755Looking at their clean, wholesome faces, neat attire, and orderly demeanour, I thought,"Is it possible that these are the sweepings of the streets?"
21755Man''s first prayer in all his plans of life should be--"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
21755Need we say that it was a glorious feast?
21755Or is it a matter for surprise that her temper began to give way under the strain?
21755Shall I consult the Pater?
21755Shall I invite the aid of the police?
21755Suddenly she paused, and in a tone of the deepest solemnity, said--"Haere du, fiskman, vil du har ti( ten) shillings?"
21755That''s fair, is n''t it?"
21755The cure for this is to be found-- as usual-- in the Scripture:"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way?
21755Vil du tak am dram?
21755W''ereabouts is the cellar?"
21755Was he not in his native wilds?
21755Was he not the son of a noted brave?
21755Was_ he_ going to submit to the disgrace of losing his way; and, what was much worse, losing his feast?
21755Wery odd, ai n''t it, eh, Howlet, that people never is surprised at anything they sees in dreams?
21755What was he to do?
21755What was it, then?"
21755What was yours?"
21755What, then,_ is_ best?
21755Where was the smallest mite of all the guests?
21755With, such a sea running the venture was perilous in the extreme, but when the mission skipper said"Who''ll go?"
21755You see, I did n''t want for to have no more words wi''the gardener,--for why?
21755` Look''ere, my man, what d''ee call that there tree?''
21755` What d''ee want wi''me?''
21755because I''d seen all I wanted to see-- d''ee see?
21755but I_ was_ bad-- that bad that it seemed as if I should be cleared out o''my mortal carcase entirely--""Mulligrumps?"
21755har du fisk to sell?"
21755said I,"wait in a draughty level with an extinguishable candle close to the main shaft, with 30 or 40 miles of levels around, and no end of winzes?

48273Well, my child,he said, in his pleasant, cheerful tone,"what do you want so bright and early in the morning?"

48273(_ Draws long breath._) Lieutenant: But go on; you said they did n''t kill the worthless cur?
48273(_ Exeunt at right._) Clementina(_ enters at right, waving fife, followed by_ George,_ carrying drum_): Golly, wa''n''t that fine?
48273(_ Exeunt._) Sergeant(_ saluting_): Had n''t I better go, too, Lieutenant?
48273(_ Goes up stage._) John: We do mean it, too, do n''t we, Tom?
48273(_ Goes up._) Sergeant: Come back and tell the rest; what happened then?
48273(_ Laughs and gesticulates._) John(_ enters at right_): Where''s Abe, mother?
48273(_ Shivers._) But it''s cold in here, what on earth is the matter with your fire?

48273Did n''t I hear you say something about ploughing?
48273Did n''t you ever hear how he came to be captain?
48273Do n''t you feel chilly, mother?
48273Do n''t you remember how the grand Lincoln closed his inaugural address?
48273Do n''t you remember the other day when you had the tooth- ache, Abe got in all the wood and would n''t let you do a thing?

48273Her face is buried in her hands and she seems to weep as he recites:"How can I bear to leave thee?
48273How can he accept those low- down Northerners as his associates?
48273How can you talk so?
48273How could you say things like that with his noble, benign face looking straight at you?
48273How will it be now, I wonder?
48273I overheard your bad plans; how can you talk that way about going to school instead of being glad that you have the chance to go?
48273I wonder what made the child think of singing that?
48273Jackie?
48273John(_ calling back over his shoulder_): Bother on them, we''ll have time to study after school calls: if we do n''t, who cares?
48273John(_ coming towards them_): What are you two girls talking about over here?
48273John(_ sulkily_): And must I get that wood in all alone?
48273John: How''d he learn it if he has n''t been to school?
48273John: Is n''t here?
48273John: Just because he was fool enough to cut four cords of wood for a_ piece_ of a book?
48273John: O, who wants to be great?

48273What do you mean?
48273What good will it ever do me, I''d like to know, to get the names of all these islands in my head?
48273What is he going to do?
48273What is your mission now, Old Flag?
48273What more need a fellow know?
48273What need hath he now of a tardy crown, His name from mocking jest and sneer to save?
48273What ruler ever won it like this dead President of ours?

48273Who made the law thet hurts, John,_ Heads I win,--ditto tails_?

48273what was the secret, then, Of his being America''s honored son?
48273who''ll be a Volunteer?
21267''How is that?'' 21267 ''I suppose the Indians out there call it Minneboohoo, do n''t they?
21267''You have,''he continued,''seen two men about to fight?'' 21267 And may I?"
21267But was not Mr. Lincoln a man of great humanity?
21267By the way, gentlemen, can either of you tell me where General Grant procures his whisky? 21267 Do n''t you think I was right now?"
21267Do you recollect the argument we had on the way up to Freeport two years ago over the question I was going to ask Judge Douglas?
21267How many stars?
21267How many white stripes?
21267What about him?
21267What day of the month is it?
21267What is Judge Douglas''s popular sovereignty?
21267What''s the matter?
21267Where is he buried?
21267Who is this man that is replying to Douglas in your State?
21267Whose birthday is it?
21267Why not?
21267( Had not all this terrible scene-- making the mimic ones preposterous-- had it not all been rehearsed, in blank, by Booth, beforehand?)
21267( So grieved and so wronged below), From the rest wherein thou art?
21267( Was it only a moon ago?
21267A dream?--what means this pageant, then?
21267AIR,_ What Can the Matter Be?_ Dear, dear, who can believe it?
21267AIR,_ What Can the Matter Be?_ Dear, dear, who can believe it?
21267And could it really be, then?
21267And how shall I deck my song for the large sweet soul that has gone?
21267And what shall my perfume be for the grave of him I love?
21267And what shall the pictures be that I hang on the walls, To adorn the burial- house of him I love?
21267And who does not see, even in this tragedy so recent, how fast the terror and ruin of the massacre are already burning into glory around the victim?
21267And you, amid the master- race, Who seem so strangely out of place, Know ye who cometh?
21267As soon as he observed them, and apprehended their embarrassment, he rose and walked to them, saying,''How do you do, my good fellows?
21267But can we, while our votes will prevent it, allow it to spread into the national Territories, and to overrun us here in these free States?
21267But did he do it for love?
21267But if the negro is a man, is it not to that extent a total destruction of self- government to say that he, too, shall not govern himself?
21267But where could it now find an ally to save it from its own mistake?
21267Can a man be a warm- hearted man who is all head and conscience, or nearly so?
21267Can we cast our votes with their views, and against our own?
21267Can we not come together for the future?
21267Could it be that Lincoln really was a great man?
21267Dead?
21267Dear, dear, who can conceive it?
21267Did anybody here witness that war- like proceeding?
21267Did anybody in this audience hear him use such language?
21267Did ever so many hearts, in so brief a time, touch two such boundless feelings?
21267Do they see it, those patient eyes?
21267Do you mean that he had much of human nature in him?
21267Do you mean, if the above definition is unsatisfactory, that Mr. Lincoln was tender and kind?
21267Do you see that open transom?"
21267From such a perfect text, shall Song aspire To light her faded fire, And into wandering music turn Its virtue, simple, sorrowful, and stern?
21267Had he not lived long enough to keep the greatest promise that ever man made to his fellow men,--the practicable abolition of slavery?
21267Has that argument any foundation in reason, any justification in history?
21267How does this man compare with the acknowledged"Father of his country?"
21267How great was his consequent loss?
21267How many red stripes have you?"
21267In exactly three- quarters of a minute, Old Glory said,"What do you think of that?"
21267In our present differences is either party without faith of being in the right?
21267In some surprise Mr. Lincoln inquired,"For what reason?"
21267In view of our moral, social, and political responsibilities, can we do this?
21267Is David dead?
21267Is Hampden dead?
21267Is Washington dead?
21267Is any man that was ever fit to live dead?
21267Is he dead?
21267Is it possible, then, to make that intercourse more advantageous or more satisfactory after separation than before?
21267Is it true, then, that any right plainly written in the Constitution has been denied?
21267Is there any better or equal hope in the world?
21267Is there heed in the happy skies For tokens of world- wide woe?
21267Is there such perfect identity of interest among the States to compose a new union as to produce harmony only, and prevent renewed secession?
21267Kindly Spirit!--Ah, when did treason Bid such a generous nature cease, Mild by temper and strong by reason, But ever leaning to love and peace?
21267LINCOLN''S GRAVE BY MAURICE THOMPSON May one who fought in honor for the South Uncovered stand and sing by Lincoln''s grave?
21267LINCOLN[31] BY JOHN VANCE CHENEY The hour was on us; where the man?
21267May I?"
21267Mr. Lincoln is acknowledged to have been a great man, but the question is, what made him great?
21267Must Congress protect slavery in the Territories?
21267Now, my friends, can this country be saved upon that basis?
21267O, my Land, stricken dumb in your anguish, Do you feel, do you know, That the hand which reached out of the darkness Hath taken the whole?
21267One of the great key- notes of England''s future is simply this-- what will be her relations with that great republic?
21267Our President dead?
21267Perish?--who was it said Our Leader had passed away?
21267Shall a republic have less power of continuance when invading armies prevent a peaceful resort to the ballot- box?
21267Shall fugitives from labor be surrendered by National or by State authority?
21267Shall the ages bring to us another As good, and as great?
21267TWO BOYS FROM WASHINGTON GROUP:"If to please the people we offer what we ourselves disapprove, how can we afterwards defend our work?"
21267The black festoons that stretch for miles, And turn the streets to funeral aisles?
21267The cannon''s sudden, sullen boom,-- The bells that toll of death and doom,-- The rolling of the drums,-- The dreadful car that comes?
21267The flags half- mast, that late so high Flaunted at each new victory?
21267The question still is, was Mr. Lincoln a cold, heartless man, or a warm, affectionate man?
21267The storm rose to a whirlwind; who would allay its wrath?
21267These multitudes of solemn men, Who speak not when they meet, But throng the silent street?
21267They met each other as if each would ask the other,"Am I awake, or do I dream?"
21267To those, however, who really love the Union may I not speak?
21267Was it, O man beloved, Was it thy funeral only Over the land that moved?
21267Were Mr. Lincoln''s expression and language odd and original, standing out peculiar from those of all other men?
21267Were they not in their ancestral land naked, scarcely lifted above brutes, ignorant of the course of the sun, controlled by nature?
21267What can I do for you?
21267What did the people call Mr. Lincoln?
21267What do you mean by humanity?
21267What does this imply?
21267What force shall it attach to intervening legislation?
21267What lofty pennons flaunt?
21267What mighty echoes haunt, As of great guns, o''er the main?
21267What ruler ever won it like this dead President of ours?
21267What validity to debts contracted for its overthrow?
21267What, in the first place, do we mean by a warm- hearted man?
21267Where did Mozart get his music?
21267Where did Shakespeare get his genius?
21267Where, in the history of nations, had a Chief Magistrate possessed more sources of consolation and joy than LINCOLN?
21267Who can be what he was to the people; What he was to the State?
21267Who can say that the President did not lay down his life by the firmness of his devotion to a great duty?
21267Who is dead?
21267Who shall look on the like again, Or see such host of the brave?
21267Who shall recount our martyr''s sufferings for this people?
21267Whose hand smote the lyre of the Scottish plowman?
21267Why should there not be patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people?
21267Will you hazard so desperate a step while any portion of the ills you fly from have no real existence?
21267Will you risk the commission of so fearful a mistake?
21267Will you sit down?''
21267Will you, while the certain ills you fly to are greater than all the real ones you fly from?
21267X O how shall I warble myself for the dead one there I loved?
21267XI O what shall I hang on the chamber walls?
21267You I can comfort; but how can I speak to that twilight million to whom his name was as the name of an angel of God?
21267You do n''t know?
21267and stayed the life of the German priest?
21267asks a friend at my elbow, a little angrily; to which I reply,"Has not that question been answered already?"
21267is it not sacred?
21267what was the fault Of the grand old army''s sturdy assault At Richmond''s gates?"
21267who, unmoved by our wailing, Is lying so low?
43419And what''s that?
43419And when will the four- thirty be along, do you think?
43419Any freight trains?
43419Are there any expresses before then?
43419Are you going to learn to be a blower? 43419 Are you quite sure?"
43419Assulting you?
43419Begob,says Pat,"if I could n''t beat that bloomin''thing on the level, what chance did I stand running uphill?"
43419By the way, are we all out of debt?
43419By the way, are you a lawn mower?
43419By the way, dear, do you knew that a Washington man was shot by a burglar and his life was saved by a pajama button, which the bullet struck?
43419By the way, you know Charlie Benson, do n''t you?
43419Can you swim?
43419Did n''t the corpse owe me ten dollars?
43419Did those birds come home?
43419Do n''t you know me, Sim?
43419Do they slice Creoles and serve them as omelettes?
43419Does my hand tell that?
43419G''wan,says the woman,"how''s that?"
43419Good,says I,"but how about her feet?"
43419Have you any poor relatives?
43419Hello, Joe,says I,"why so glum?"
43419Hello, Rufus,says I,"how''s business?"
43419How big is the man?
43419How could you walk ashore?
43419How distant?
43419I say, Tom,says O''Holleran,"do you believe in drames?"
43419I say,says O''Holleran,"what kind of bushes do you call those, Tom?"
43419Is this John Smith''s house?
43419Look here,says she,"is n''t this pretty?"
43419No,says I;"where was that?"
43419No,says Tom,"what was it?"
43419Nothing at all?
43419Now what have you to say in your defense?
43419Of course it would, but what is the use of having good credit unless you can use it?
43419Say, boss,says the old man,"can you tell me if the three- fifteen has left?"
43419Say,says I,"do you know we have been waiting here for an hour and a half?"
43419Say,says I,"have you seen anything worth shooting around here?"
43419Say,says I,"how about that money I lent you?
43419Say,says I,"who the dickens are you and what do you want?"
43419Say,says I,"why in thunder do n''t you assert your independence?"
43419She had a new hat on; did you notice what it was like?
43419Then how were you saved?
43419Then what''s it a sign of when a married man drames he''s a bachelor?
43419Then what?
43419Then why do n''t you drink milk?
43419Valuable?
43419Was he in good spirits when you left him?
43419Was n''t the wine good?
43419Well, how the devil can it be a fair, stand- up fight if he keeps knocking me down all the time?
43419Well, what of it?
43419Well,says I,"did you succeed in getting him to think the same as yourself?"
43419What are the rates?
43419What are you up to, anyway?
43419What brings you here? 43419 What could they do with a boiler so large as that?"
43419What do I want?
43419What has her feet got to do with it?
43419What is the effect of gas?
43419What was in the jug, Mac?
43419What were you scrapping about just now?
43419What''s a ventriloquist, Hiram?
43419What''s the matter, Mac,says I,"was the jug empty?"
43419What''s the matter, old man?
43419What''s yours?
43419What, Mac, you one of the mourners, too?
43419Where are you?
43419Where do you come from?
43419Where''s your fare?
43419Which tooth do you want extracted?
43419Whoi not?
43419Whoi?
43419Whoi?
43419Whoy so, mum?
43419Why wo n''t he?
43419Why, if he eats little green apples, wo n''t he have pains on the inside?
43419Why,says I,"how did you manage it?"
43419Why,says he,"have n''t you heard?
43419Why,says he,"you''re Walter Jones yourself, ai n''t you?"
43419Why,says the grocer,"if it was bad, what do you want more for?"
43419Why?
43419Ye lobster,says Tom,"whoi did n''t you run up the bank as I told you?"
43419You confounded scoundrel,I says,"what do you mean by assulting me?"
43419You do n''t suppose I could tell that by looking at your face, do you?
43419You should not drink that stuff,says the old man,"why do you do it?"
43419You''ve got it in the bank?
43419And you say you''re going to try to collect it eh?"
43419Are you a depositor?"
43419Are you demented?"
43419Are you dissatisfied with what you''ve had?"
43419At the first stop, I went to the guard and said:"Say, this is pretty fast traveling, is n''t it?"
43419By the way, did you ever get into one of those lunch counter, go- outside- and- get- something- fit- to- eat restaurants?
43419By the way, what is it?"
43419Ca n''t I paint well?"
43419Ca n''t you go around and convince him that his life still holds some future brightness for him?"
43419Did you ever notice what a lot of trouble a simple, little girl may make?
43419Do n''t you think you are nuisance enough already?"
43419Do you know anything?"
43419Do you know, I had a deuce of a time in convincing them that it was not I who had stolen the machine?
43419Do you know, all the gentlemen I mentioned in that song I just sang are my friends?
43419Do you think every fellow who goes to Yonkers, has to get loaded to drown his sorrow?
43419Finally, Percy said to the fellow behind the desk:"Are you the proprietor of this hash house?"
43419Has he any marks by which he can be identified?"
43419Have you ever noticed how easy it is to start a fellow extolling the virtues and graces of his chosen before he is married?
43419How did you accomplish that extraordinary feat?"
43419How''s this?
43419I do n''t think I ever told you of the awful time I had, when I went yachting with my friend Rufus Sage, did I?
43419I met a friend and says:"Say, Tom, can you tell me what has become of Walter Jones?"
43419I wonder what would happen if I were to take that?"
43419I wonder why?"
43419Is this all right?"
43419Just to liven things up a bit, I''ll sing you a song entitled"Music On The Installment Plan; or, How Would You Like To Be The Piano Man?"
43419Never knew I was an actor?
43419Now what do you think it was?"
43419Now, who are you?"
43419Say, did you ever go to a dime museum?
43419Say, every one says Lakewood is so healthy, know why?
43419Say, how do you stand on the servant question?
43419Say, was n''t that last part fine?
43419Shall I not give the poor little fly a mackintosh and an umbrella?"
43419So he went over and says:"Kind sir, can you give a poor man who has heart trouble a drop of whiskey?"
43419So, seeing the kid, he says:"Hey, where are the two men?"
43419That made me mad as a hornet, and I says:"Go''way?
43419The deacon looked him over and says:"Will the brother relate his experiences?"
43419The identical girl came to the door, and Smith up and said:"Who the devil said it was John Smith''s?"
43419The tailor came around and said:"See here, Harris, was n''t I kind enough to let you have that coat on tick?
43419Was that the way of it?"
43419What could your lawyer say that would influence my decision?"
43419What were you before you became a loafer?"
43419What would you do if that happened in your case?"
43419When I passed the manager of the shebang, he says:"What''s the matter?
43419Where will you have it sent?"
43419Who is the wall- eyed, bandy- legged, beer- guzzling harp, who borrowed twenty dollars from me, out in Chicago?"
43419Will you give me your heart?"
43419Would n''t have thought it?
43419[ Illustration] Did you hear that peculiar toot the fellow with the big horn gave when I finished up?
43419[ Illustration] Finally the one who was getting the worst of it cried out:"Say, I thought this was to be a fair, stand- up fight?"
43419[ Illustration] I rushed down to the bank, and says to the teller:"Is the cashier in?"
43419[ Illustration] My wife shoved her head out of the window, and says:"Is that you, Billy, dear?"
43419[ Illustration]"Feet, man,"says he,"what are you talking about?
43419[ Illustration]"Get out,"says I,"is that so?"
43419[ Illustration]"Hello, Matt,"says I,"how''s Mamie?"
43419[ Illustration]"That''s a pretty hefty thing to sit on, ai n''t it?"
43419[ Illustration]"What''s the matter?"
43419know why"to"so healthy, know why?"
43419says I,"what do you want?"
43419says I;"toothache?"
43419says he,"drinking beer again, friend Jones?
7347''Good morning, king,"said the farmer;"where are you folks going?"
7347''Any theoretical experience? 7347 ''Do I look nice, now, mother?''
7347''Do n''t you see him, humped up about half- way up the tree?'' 7347 ''Have you conversed with any one who has read such a book?''
7347''Have you ever attended lectures on doorkeeping?'' 7347 ''How did you do it?''
7347''Rifle''s all right-- I know it is,''answered the boy;''but where''s your squirrel?'' 7347 ''Well, have you ever been a doorkeeper?
7347''Well, then, my friend, do n''t you see that you have n''t a single qualification for this important post?'' 7347 ''Well, what in the infernals are you passing for when people are shouting hello?''"
7347''Well, what in the infernals are you shouting''Hello''for when people are passing?'' 7347 ''Why did he call it a mistake?"
7347''Will you take us and our trunks out to the steamboat?'' 7347 ''You ai n''t mastered, are you?''
7347''You are from the West, are n''t you?'' 7347 But what would you have me do?"
7347But you will not abide the election of a Republican President? 7347 But, say, whatever did you do with that stone?
7347Did I ever tell you the joke the Chicago newsboys had on me? 7347 Did Stanton ever march in the first line, to be shot at like this man?"
7347Did you?
7347Do n''t terrapins have feelings?
7347Do you remember,continued the President,"his story about his going to Missouri to look up some Mormon lands belonging to his father?"
7347Do you think that they would like to have Hannibal Hamlin-- his first vice- president-- here any better than myself?
7347Do? 7347 Does the moon shine that night?"
7347Eh? 7347 Grant, do you know what this reminds me of?
7347Have you not seen Sheridan?
7347Holt, were you ever in battle?
7347How is it on your part?
7347I presume,quietly replied Mr. Lincoln,"that there is room enough in her soil for seventy- five thousand graves?"
7347I remember his saying over and over again,says the governor:"''What has God put me in this place for?''"
7347I suppose you had to make large concessions to him, as he returns from you entirely satisfied?
7347Is that all?
7347Kellogg,remarked Lincoln quickly,"is there not something in the Bible about the shedding of blood for the remission of sins?"
7347Relative of yours?
7347That will be the truth?
7347Then you will not go to war on account of slavery?
7347Well, now, you see this nag of mine? 7347 Well,"said he,"did you meet a man going out as you came in?
7347What I want to know is how are you going to pay_ my_ bill?
7347What are you going to tell her about getting hurt?
7347What in the world are you doing there?
7347What''s the matter?
7347Why did he not ask to be secretary of the treasury and have done with it?
7347Why do n''t you answer him?
7347Why, Dennis, what would you do were you President?
7347Will you engage not to repeat that rowdy( blackguard) talk in the store while I am the master, and leave instanter?
7347You do n''t say so? 7347 You know how that Illinois farmer managed the big log that lay in the middle of his field?
7347Your plan is feasible, sir; but how are you to get the boy out?
7347''"Have you read any text- book on the subject?''
7347''Did n''t the donkey do his duty?''
7347''How is that?''
7347***** A PUT- UP JOB-- OR CHANCE?
7347***** DID SHE TAKE THE WINK TO HERSELF?
7347***** HOW GET HIM OUT?
7347***** HOW MANY SHORT BREATHS?
7347***** PEGGED OR SEWED?
7347***** WHAT''S IN A NAME?
7347*****"HOW SLEEP THE BRAVE?"
7347*****"IS THE WORLD GOING TO FOLLOW THAT COMET OFF?"
7347Accordingly one of them asked, indicating the flatboat:"Who owns this?"
7347An enthusiastic friend of the President said to him:"There is not enough left of_ Hood_ to make a dish- rag, is there?"
7347Any instructions in the duties and ethics of doorkeeping?''
7347As the pleased writer folded up the paper for its envelope, he quickly inquired:"Why, what are you going to do with it now?"
7347At a reception, a gentleman addressed him, saying:"I presume, Mr. President, you have forgotten me?"
7347At last, one man whispered to the boy as he went by:"''Look here, boy, ai n''t that hoss got the splints?''
7347At the question''Can you build this bridge?''
7347Bounce, of Chicago?
7347But Lincoln repulsed him gently and whimsically without hurting his feelings, in this way:"''So you want to be doorkeeper to the House, eh?''
7347But do any of you know of any machine or invention for preventing the escape of_ gas_ from newspaper establishments?"
7347But the point is, what would you have me do for you?
7347But the two gentlemen were unable to answer the natural question:"Who is this little boy?"
7347But, affecting rage, he blurted out:"Oh, he tore my paper, did he?
7347Can you tell me where Abraham Lincoln lives?
7347Did you never hear it?"
7347Do n''t you know?"
7347Do you expect to find them under a sycamore- tree?"
7347Do you live in the city?"
7347Had she a premonition on the fatal eve?
7347Have you ever had any experience of doorkeeping?''
7347He paused in his occupation and pointed with his long arm to the long rifle, saying:"''Young man, do you see that gun?
7347He sent the"Dictionary of Congress"his autobiography in a single paragraph of fifty words-- as an example(?).
7347I wonder who he is?"
7347If we remain until November, can_ we_ vote?"
7347In an interval when the vociferator had to take breath, he asked quietly:"Excuse me, my friend, are you an Episcopalian?"
7347In case of disaster, would not a retreat be more difficult by your plan than mine?"
7347Is not this quite Lincolnian?
7347It may be supposed that the student of Shakespeare might quote"When shall we three meet again?"
7347It was as follows:''Why is John Tyler like an ass?''
7347It was truth that the Irishman uttered when he answered the speaker:''Is not one man as good as another?''
7347Lincoln said on the subject to Judge Beckwith, of Danville, on the eve:"You have seen two men about to fight?
7347Lincoln scanned him a moment, threw out his large hand, and said:"''You''re a pretty tall fellow, are n''t you?
7347Mr. Harlan, who followed the chief, touched the major key:"What shall we do with the rebels?"
7347Next day he said to this gentleman-- Noah Brooks:"I wonder if Miss Dickinson saw me wink at_ you?
7347Now,"finished the adviser,"if this was good for Mitchell, it was all right; but, if it was not, I have to countermand, eh?"
7347Only when the job was completed by this inner support, the new problem rose: how to get the boy out?
7347President?"
7347See_ Was Lincoln a Spiritualist?_ By Mrs. Nettie Colburn Maynard( 1891).]
7347So he hailed her:''Old lady, are them pies sewed or pegged?''"
7347Suppose( they were seeking a name) we call them, the Wide- awakes?"
7347The President said next day:"Did you notice the sun burst?
7347The Virginia( Illinois)_ Enquirer_, March 1, 1879, had the following:"John McNamer( Namara?)
7347The hearer thought this over for a moment, and then pertly said:"Why do n''t''Governor''Chase print some more?"
7347The neighbor said, innocentlike:''William, I guess that there is not much of that dog left to catch anybody''s fowls?''
7347The question is, Will it be wiser to take it as it is, and help to improve it, or to reject and disperse?...
7347The worthy agriculturist, greatly astonished, exclaimed:"Is that old Abe?
7347Then, what are you going to do?''
7347They were immediately dispelled, however, by his cheerily crying out:"Is that all?
7347This had not escaped the curious Lincoln; he asked him, as he singled him out:"What is your height?"
7347Through her cries, he reproached her, and concluded:"How could you disobey mother so?"
7347Weed, did you ever hear, in this connection, of the witness in court asked to state his age?
7347Well, judge, you see the papers crowded in there?
7347What impended, what had fallen?
7347What is yours?"
7347What is yours?''
7347What shall we do?
7347What will you lay on the thing?"
7347What would be done about it?"
7347What would you do with that?--keep your hogs safe with that?"
7347Whatever_ did_ you do?''
7347Who could help being so under such circumstances?"
7347Who doubts now that it was attempted Breckenridge in his room?"
7347Why ca n''t a committee of this kind occasionally exhibit a grain of common sense?
7347Why, how did they come to bury those_ two_ men in one grave?''"]
7347You and Uncle Jimmy ought to put up with each other as man and his steed put up with one another; see?"
7347_ lean a little more to the North!_ to the South?''
7347interrupted Bob,"did you not furnish a special for General- President Harrison?"
7347interrupted Lincoln, looking down at the man panting with excitement;"why do n''t you tell us how many short breaths_ you_ drew?"
7347my_ pen_?
7347off?"
7347said the corporal firmly,"but this here cow has a long tail!--ain''t it?"
7347the mayor?"
7347what do you want?"
53691''Ow the deuce do I know what muck they puts into''em? 53691 Ah Jack, my boy, how are you?
53691All here?
53691And what room has Jack got?
53691And what sort of a country is Langley?
53691And which is the short way?
53691Are you nearly ready, Ned? 53691 Be we to shoe''un like that, I wonder?"
53691Bromley Wood? 53691 Can yer see ought on''em, ould man?"
53691Dang your ugly mug,says Tom to him, as soon as Sir John is out of hearing;"you thought to come the clever over me and t''hounds, did yer?
53691Dang''i m, how did ay get theer? 53691 Did you breed him on purpose?"
53691Fifty- five minutes, were n''t it, Charles?
53691Ger on with yer,he will say to a crowd of gaping rustics;"ger on with yer-- call last Wednesday''s a run?
53691Has he got a white stocking on the near fore?
53691He did not suppose the hounds would follow her, did he?
53691Hear what?
53691Here, take my horse,says he to one of the men; and as Bell comes up he asks:"What is being done?"
53691Here, you fellah, do you hear-- open this gate, will you?
53691Holloa, old man, what have yer got there? 53691 How are you, Dick?
53691How''s that?
53691I ask you, is that the way to welcome your long- lost cousin? 53691 I ask you, what do they know about hunting?
53691I mind when Mr. Arles-- you knows him I''ll be bound? 53691 I suppose you did not happen to see if Mr. Simpson''s fire was all right, Mildred?"
53691Is that your sort of way of doing business? 53691 Lovely day?
53691Mornin'', mayster,says he to old Tom;"whear be you a- going furst?"
53691My darling child, are you hurt? 53691 Not hurt, I hope?"
53691Now I wonder which end t''ould mon will begin at?
53691Now, where the deuce should t''fox a gotten to, I wonder?
53691Oh, that''s it, is it?
53691Oh,I said,"he came from Bell''s, did he?
53691She landed you once, Bevan, did not she?
53691That''s me; what can I do for you?
53691Then what the devil business have you in front of them? 53691 Well, James, have you got one for us to- day?"
53691Well, then, why the devil did not you answer my letter? 53691 Well, what sort of a day have you had?"
53691Well,continued his interlocutor,"did you have a good run?"
53691Well,replies Joe,"what can they do?
53691What are you two a- chattering about?
53691What did I say this morning? 53691 What did you do it for?"
53691What do you say, Colonel?
53691What do you say, Wilson?
53691What''s that thing for?
53691What''s that?
53691What''s up, my lad?
53691Wheer to, Mayster Wilding?
53691Which is the way to Langley, my good man?
53691Which room has Mr. Simpson got, Milly?
53691Who is talking about judging by appearances?
53691Who is that?
53691Who the deuce can have written all that farrago of nonsense?
53691Why, Doctor, who''d have thought of seeing you to- day? 53691 Why, Mayster Hall, wheer an yer been to?"
53691Why, where the deuce have you arrived from?
53691Will you take yourself away from there?
53691Yes; how the deuce did you know, I wonder?
53691( Quite so, Mr. Story; but what was that small piece of gold for, that found its way out of your pocket into that of Charles the First Whip?)
53691All the time he is asking the sportsman about the day:"What sort of a run?
53691And the field are all-- where?
53691Anybody else say anything?
53691Are they used in the summer to keep the birds from the peas, or what?"
53691As he rides up they greet him with a hearty"Good- morning, Major; lovely day, is n''t it?"
53691Besides, what fox in his senses would face it?"
53691But Jack does not stop a moment, and with an exultant shout of"Come on, gents, what are yer waiting for?"
53691But how are you all?
53691But where is Mrs. Talford?
53691By- the- way, do you know what sort of cattle Mr. Dawson keeps?"
53691By- the- way, how can uncle ever tolerate such a vulgarian as Simpson?"
53691Can that''oss jump?
53691Caterer and Bellman, Pillager and Marksman, never up in time; and then if I gets on a bit, it''s''Where''s them two couple?
53691D''ye suppose my second whip''s come out as a horniment?"
53691Did anyone hear of a man being asked to subscribe to a school when hounds had just found?
53691Did n''t yer, Bill?
53691Did yer ever see such a fanglement?"
53691Did you ever hear such a thing, Boulter?"
53691Did you see Mayster Story, Charles?"
53691Drop it, will yer?"
53691For, as he puts it,"Without them two where would be the''ounds?
53691Gemmen''s''osses first''s what I say-- do''e hear, slow coach?"
53691Have you?"
53691He says, says he:''Why do n''t yer have a pole made?
53691He''s quite right-- business is business; but when it''s over how many of''em would stand a glass,''specially after a bit of a word?"
53691How are they all at The Grange?"
53691How are you?"
53691How can you tell it is a bag fox?"
53691How long did you say?"
53691How much do you ask?"
53691How the deuce could he know all about it?"
53691How the deuce did she get there?
53691However, turning to Mildred, he said:"Miss Vivian-- ah-- I suppose you follow the hounds to- morrow?"
53691I''ve got to go down to the green lane, and then past Mrs. Wilson''s cottage; but how am I to know which is the right cottage-- and how far it is?"
53691In reply to a question of"Where had he been?"
53691Is that young gray horse fit for me to ride?
53691It was the day as young Mayster Bell jumped atop of Melody; but what''s become of him, sir?"
53691Mr. Hall eagerly snaps at the bait and asks for full particulars-- whether they killed?
53691No damage, eh?"
53691No?
53691None the worse for the fall?
53691Now I ask you, can we expect any sport with such a pack as that?
53691Of course he immediately improved(?)
53691See you out, I suppose, on Friday at Fearndale?
53691She''s a dear, is not she?
53691Simpson?"
53691Stiff big fences, or what?"
53691Suppose you''d been hard pressed and knew of a house you could turn into, would n''t you go for it?"
53691Then perhaps someone will point out that he might make a better thing out of cow- doctoring; but his reply will be:"Oh, that''s your opinion, is it?
53691They tell me you are going to be married again and give up hunting; is it true?"
53691This, coupled with the oft- repeated question at the covert- side of"Holloa, Boulter, got his coin yet?"
53691This, however, does not prevent him from entering a full and true(?)
53691What do yer think?"
53691What is it, gentlemen?
53691What on earth do you go and curl yourself up like a fox- terrier on the hearthrug for, and make people do these pantomime tricks over you?
53691What say you, Minstrel?"
53691What should be done?"
53691What the devil''s the use of taking them up the road?
53691Where to, sir?"
53691Where would you go to, you old growler?"
53691Where''s Bill?"
53691Which is my room, uncle?
53691Who, I wondered, was the old gent?
53691Would you believe it?
53691Yer know the works maybe?"
53691a new hat?
53691and how is the pony?"
53691and on Mr. Tyrol confessing his ignorance, after a pause:"Ah, that maks a''nation difference, doan''t it?"
53691and where they was a- going to draw next?"
53691and without the''ounds where would my bloomin''business go to?"
53691ejaculates Tom;"can anyone tell me how gray shirtings are?
53691going a- fishing?"
53691he ejaculates, as two or three hounds appear outside; and, turning to the boy, he asks:"My lad, are you sure you saw a fox?"
53691how the deuce did he get there?"
53691it shows their ignorance; but what more can I want?"
53691where he left the hounds?
53691where they went?
53691who was up?

38208Will he ever return?
38208Would you mind my putting a few pellets into your brute of a dog?
38208You are trying to beat me, are you?
38208You recollect his coming to see you?''
38208You think it is he who steals the eggs?
38208You will ask what the change of government had to do with my beasts?
38208You would beat a woman-- and a former artiste to M. Odry, would you?
38208You''re going to cut up rough, are you?
38208Your dictionary never says that the arararanna, otherwise called the blue macaw, produces young at Caen?''

36969A- coming down here a- spiling our country, and a- robbing our hen- roosts? 36969 AIN''T YOU ASHAMED OF YOU''UNS?"
36969And if we were, what would it matter? 36969 And the love of him whose manly courage and devotion won this tribute is the best blessing God ever gave you, is n''t it?"
36969Are you in pain, Captain?
36969Are you married?
36969But I must see him; I ca n''t live without seeing him; I must hire some one to go and take him up; ca n''t you get some one to take him up? 36969 But do they satisfy their hunger?"
36969But what does the doctor say, for I am mighty anxious to go?
36969Did I say all that?
36969Did you writ all that?
36969Had not you all better go home?
36969How can we reach it?
36969How is that,inquired Pat,"are we not friends?"
36969How perfectly ridiculous,do you say?
36969Is this Colonel Prince?
36969Kin you writ a letter?
36969Lee, Lee?
36969May I ask why he is a prisoner?
36969May n''t I wash your face?
36969She? 36969 Tell me the truth, wo n''t you?"
36969Think you that such as these are not deserving the help of those of us who have been more fortunate? 36969 This little paper is your most precious treasure, is n''t it?"
36969Well, madam,said the Federal officer, with bland politeness,"to what do I owe the honor of this visit?"
36969Well, what are you going to do now, John?
36969Well, what''s the trouble, sir?
36969What do you mean, sir?
36969What do you want here?
36969What is that?
36969What is the matter now?
36969What is the nature of those acts?
36969What is your name?
36969What must I do with her?
36969What''s the matter with this meat, madam? 36969 What''s the matter, man?"
36969When did he join it?
36969Where are the women who represented the six hundred thousand valiant soldiers who constituted the grandest army the world has yet known? 36969 Where can I get a little ice?"
36969Where is the nearest ford?
36969Where''s the General?
36969Which way?
36969Who are you-- one of the Yankees?
36969Who are you?
36969Who was Barbara Frietchie?
36969Why did n''t you take some ham last night?
36969Why do you and your troops rush into my house?
36969Why do you not let the nurse cut your nails?
36969Why, father,said I,"who ever heard of paying ten dollars for needles and thread?"
36969Will you come back to- morrow and go now?
36969Will you let me have your hair cut then? 36969 Will you not let me pray for you?"
36969Wouldst thou have me love thee, dearest, With a woman''s proudest heart, Which shall ever hold thee nearest, Shrined in its inmost part? 36969 You do n''t say so?"
36969''Who sent you with that message to me?''
36969*** Standing with the principles of''76 behind us, who can deny them that right?"
3696939?"
36969After being reassured as to his master''s safety, I asked,"Did he have a comfortable night, John?"
36969Again, I demand why you have burned my home?
36969Ai n''t you ashamed of you''uns?
36969Am I not more than repaid by their thanks?
36969And pray, sir, is he your husband or mine?"
36969And she replied:"Did you eat the mutton chops last night?"
36969And then he told me this interesting story:"Ever been to Frederick?"
36969Answer as you must answer before the Searcher of all hearts, why have you added this cruel, wicked deed to your many crimes?
36969Are n''t you ashamed of yourselves?
36969As one of these was rushing from a hot fire to the rear one day, his colonel shouted to him,"What are you running for?
36969Astonished at the calmness with which he seemed to be submitting to what he regarded as inevitable fate, I said to him,"Have you no defence?
36969At last the call of a sentry brought her to stand, with a hoarse"Who goes there?"
36969B. Gordon shouted,"Stop there, Jim; what makes you run?"
36969But of what importance was the fact that I was homeless, houseless and moneyless, in Richmond, the heart of Virginia?
36969But what has been the result of opening it to them?
36969But what was to be done?
36969But where is he buried?"
36969But, Lord, if we let the South go, as Mr. Lincoln says, where will we get our revenues?
36969But, my dear friends, have we not failed in one paramount duty?
36969Can I say,"God forgive you?"
36969Can ancient or modern history show a nobler or more unselfish and patriotic devotion to any cause?
36969Can life have any more terrible antithesis than this?
36969Catching at the suggestion as a revelation of duty, she asked,"And cheerfulness makes better soldiers of the men, does it not?"
36969Could any one lead a more consecrated life?
36969Could it be that Psyche had stirred one of the delicate plumes of her wing and touched that dormant soul?
36969Daniels?"
36969Declare war?
36969Did they think the night too terrible to be out?
36969Do ye think I would come all the way from Ireland to belong to one State when I have a right to belong to the whole of''em?"
36969Do you see that tender vine binding up the shattered tree and hiding its wounds?
36969Frenzied Finance replied in the words of Mr. Lincoln,"If we let the South go, where will we get our revenues?"
36969Have n''t Lee''s soldiers starved many a day?
36969He answered,"Yes, mother; what is it?"
36969He could not do it, but he said,"Ask your mother how much change she wants?"
36969How came these holes in it?"
36969How can this be?
36969How in the world could all those steel wires be bundled and controlled when a woman rode horseback or had to be packed in a buggy or carriage?
36969How on earth can I be calm?
36969I ai n''t got a single nigger that would be so mean as to force himself where he warn''t wanted, and what do we- uns want with you?
36969I ask who that does not wish infamy and disgrace attached to him forever would serve under you?
36969I asked her if she could get bread enough for her children by her work?
36969I called and said,"What''s the matter, Eddie?"
36969I felt, rather than thought it-- but, had I really found her heart?
36969I have come here to inquire whether you have a lad by the name of McCarthy a prisoner?"
36969I laughed and said:"Did you ever meet Barbara Frietchie?"
36969I tould him,''And what have you to say to what you done to our poor fellows?''
36969I wonder what is best?
36969I, therefore, a helpless woman whom you have cruelly wronged, address you, a Major- General of the United States army, and demand why this was done?
36969If I turned and lost my way entirely, what would become of me on such a night?
36969If one of my gells comes to you, you''ll give her a fair chance to shoot straight, wo n''t you, boys?"
36969If she drew her faded skirt-- ever a black one, in that case-- from the passing blue, was it"treason,"or human nature?
36969In Richmond, Atlanta, Charleston and elsewhere was she bitter and unforgiving?
36969Indeed, why?
36969Instead of taking it out of his vest pocket, father opened his pocket- book and said,"Did you say you wanted ten dollars or ten cents, my boy?"
36969Is it not, then, wonderful that soldiers whose families have suffered such things could be restrained when in a hostile country?
36969Is it possible that you abandoned your comrades and deserted your colors in the presence of the enemy without any reason?"
36969Is n''t it lucky it''s my left hand?"
36969Is not the whole land before thee?
36969Is she one of them Lees?"
36969Is she the daughter of whom you speak?"
36969Kin you gim me sich a thing as a b''iled sweet pur- r- rta- a- a- tu- ur?
36969My health and life are worth less than those of my brothers, and if they give theirs to the cause, why should not I do the same?
36969Oh, God, shall I ever again hear a cheer which bears a man''s whole soul in it?
36969Perceiving by the light of a brilliant moon that at least a half dozen men in uniforms were on the piazza, I asked:"Who is there?"
36969Said one of his neighbors:"Hello, John; the Yankees whipped you, did they?"
36969Shall I write a letter for you?
36969She is in ward G. What shall I do with her?"
36969She knitted and gazed, and at last inquired"who was them ar''soldiers, and whar''was they a- going to?"
36969She must have felt me shudder, for she turned pale as death, and, catching her breath at every word, she said,''Have you come without your furlough?
36969Slowly the dear old lady rose And tottering forward came, And peering dimly through her"specks,"Said,"Honey, what''s your name?"
36969Some ladies ran from a house which happened to stand just in front of his line, and asked him anxiously,"What shall we do, General, what shall we do?"
36969Somebody''s hand hath rested there, Was it a mother''s, soft and white; Or have the lips of a sister fair Been baptized in their waves of light?
36969Springing from the bed, he said:"What is it, my child?"
36969Tell me, have I saved the honor of Mary and Lucy?"
36969The man stepped out, laid his hand on my bridle and said:"Stop, lady, you can go no further; but where are you going?"
36969The young lady shrunk from the muzzle, and said:"How do I know?"
36969Then what?
36969Then why not, as Greeley and Phillips and thousands of Northern patriots urged, why not let these States go?
36969Then why should there be war?
36969There he said to the"farm hands:""Do n''t you know that a gentleman never dines without his coat?
36969They asked me,''What have you in that bag?''
36969They had no money-- the city had already given its part-- what could be done?
36969Thus the South was the mother of territories, and was it not natural that she should talk of territories and of her rights in the territories?
36969Tom, old fellow, what makes you start?
36969Turning to the prisoner, I asked,"What did you do when you received this letter?"
36969Was I to fail altogether of my mission?
36969Was it for this that you turned me, my young daughter, and little son out upon the world without a shelter?
36969Was it to the Union or to his State?
36969Was she"unreconstructed?"
36969Was the war between the States in 1861 a war in behalf of slavery on the one side and freedom on the other?
36969What could the Southern States do under such an insulting ultimatum from the triumphant North?
36969What did they do?
36969What did we ever do to you''uns that you should come a- killing our brothers and sons?
36969What for do you want us to live with you''uns, you poor white trash?
36969What had Mrs. Scott and her children done?
36969What of the negro?
36969What right have you to expect anything from us?"
36969What shall I do?
36969What should I do?

36969What was working in that poor mind?
36969When the war is over, where shall we find our old churches, where her noble homesteads, scenes of domestic comfort and generous hospitality?
36969Where the little girls who carded and spun and knitted to help their mothers clothe the naked soldiers?
36969Where the women who with tireless energy ministered night and day to the sick and wounded and spoke words of hope to the dying?
36969Where the young girls who stood by the wayside to feed the hungry and quench the thirst of the men on their long and weary marches?
36969Where was the union?
36969Who begrudges a moment for the record of her patriotic services and unremitting toil?
36969Who can wonder that the heads of these poor ignorant people were turned and their moral natures poisoned?
36969Who does not see in her a glorious lesson?
36969Who was at the head of the domestic establishment?
36969Who was to blame for it all?
36969Who was to look after the sick when, as frequently happened, the physician was miles away?
36969Who was to superintend and see to all this if not a woman?
36969Who were the women of 1861?
36969Who would dare to wipe out to- day a State''s individuality?
36969Who, indeed, if not the mistress?
36969Who?
36969Why do I say this?
36969Why had I fainted?
36969Why not?
36969Why should they suffer?
36969Why was it that I could not meet one of them?
36969Would you mind seeing if he is all right?"
36969and who asked your permission, sir?
36969and"Where are you from?"
36969do you call this mob of retreating cowards an army?
36969how was it?"
36969if you are soldiers, why do n''t you stand and fight the savage wolves that are coming upon us defenceless women and children?"
36969oh, God!-how will- they endure it?"
23733And George Ridenour?

23733Can I do any thing for you?
23733Can I say or do any thing for you, anywheres?
23733Colonel,said he, as the tears rolled down his cheeks;"Colonel, what shall I do?"
23733Did they fight long upon your ground?
23733Do you ever regret that you came, when you lie here suffering so much?
23733Do you know who you are talking to, sir? 23733 Do you mean to tell me,"said I,"that you have negro blood in your veins?"
23733Does it?
23733For what?
23733Hallo, mister, are you the captain of these ridgements around here? 23733 Have you any other name?"
23733Have you held an inspection of your company at any time since the battle of Arkansas Post, sir?
23733How am I to know you are over age?
23733How dare you disobey me? 23733 How far is it, madam?"
23733How old_ are_ you?
23733How so, Captain? 23733 How''s that?"
23733If,said he,"there are really spirits, why can they not prove it, by knocking this candlestick from my hand?"
23733In what year did you make your appearance on this mundane sphere?
23733Is it m- m- e?
23733Is it the Adjutant?

23733Now, Amy, smartly after me;( You''re sure, dear, it wo n''t bore you?) 23733 Old boy, how are you?"
23733Shall I write to your mother now?
23733Sure, sir,said he;"are you the Col- o- nel of this post?

23733The country is a momentous question,---- Here I ventured to inquire of him as to whom he was addressing his conversation?

23733Sweet Amy asked, with pleading eyes,"Dear Charley, teach me, will you, The words I''ve heard your captain say?
23733Sympathy for what?
23733Tell me, Colonel,"continued he,"have I not always obeyed orders?"
23733The General read the_ request_, and instantly inquired of the Tennesseean:"Are you a Union man?"

5407After a long fit of musing, the Bishop turned to the chaplain, and asked the question whether nations might not go mad, as well as individuals?
5407And does not Revelation( which our author holds in so deep reverence) teach that man was the last and noblest of the handiworks of the Creator?
5407And if all this be most sober truth, what is there to except this joyful hope from that law to which, in all other deep joys, our minds are subject?
5407And if nature seems inert, is not the rational conclusion that it is so?
5407And now( to speak of less grave matters) when all I had to say about Growing Old seems very poor, do I see it rightly?
5407And who is there that has not seen the parallel in actual life?
5407And who shall reckon up the brains which this social calamity has driven into disease, or the early paralytic shocks which it has brought on?
5407And why may not the highest of all hopes and joys possess the same all- pervading influence?
5407Any more: any more?
5407Are not we, as individuals, at rest, steadfast in space; evidently so to our own consciousness, demonstrably so in relation to the objects around us?
5407Are you thinking rightly too?
5407As Nicholas Nickleby very justly remarked, If Dotheboy''s Hall is not a hall, why call it one?
5407As for biting, who does not know it?

5407But by this time we can imagine our readers asking with some impatience, what is the Water Cure?
5407But does not-- what every being likes depend on what it is?
5407But is man at rest in space?
5407But still, who can help loving the man, occasionally to be met, whose heart is right and whose talk is twaddle?
5407But who can do that?
5407Can it be doubtful which it is?
5407Could Bacon have extemporized at the pace of talking, one of his Essays?
5407Did Mr. Buckle ever read the letter of condolence which Sulpicius wrote to Cicero after the death of Cicero''s daughter?
5407Did not God make, both man and nature?
5407Did not he frequently allude to it in conversation with his companions?
5407Did not he plague the servants for information as to the natural history and moral idiosyncrasy of donkeys?
5407Did not the long- eared visage appear sometimes through his dreams?
5407Did that ensure its being fine?
5407Did you ever think to yourself,--Will the day come when I have been years away from that river''s side, and yet not care?
5407Did you not feel for the poor fellow, the lecturer or exhibitor, when ne came in ten minutes past the hour, and found little but empty benches?
5407Did you not feel somewhat afraid?
5407Did you not see what a chill fell upon him: how stupified he seemed: in short, how much disappointed he was?
5407Do I see it as my reader would always have seen it?
5407Do n''t you all sometimes feel something like that?
5407Do n''t you remember, my friend, how short a time that lonely meal lasted, and how very far from jovial the feast was?
5407Do n''t you see the analogy I mean to trace?
5407Do things usually turn out just as we particularly wish that they should turn out?
5407Do you expect that the honest, stupid person will judge thus?
5407Do you not feel the like when you look at many little matters, and then look into the Future Years?
5407Do you not feel, my friend of even five- and- thirty, that there is music yet in the mention of summer days?
5407Do you think, O blue- eyed banditti, Because you have scaled the wall, Such an old moustache as I am Is not a match for you all?
5407Does it ever come across you, my friend, with something of a start, that things can not always go on in your lot as they are going now?
5407Does natural death appear in utter helplessness and powerlessness?
5407Does not a sudden thought sometimes flash upon you, a hasty, vivid glimpse, of what you will be long hereafter, if you are spared in this world?
5407Does ordinary death render a man insensible to the presence of material things?
5407Eh Robin, is this you?
5407First: Why must every phenomenon be felt as inert?
5407Friends, who have held like stations in life, have you not felt, now and then, a little waking up of old ideas and aspirations?
5407Has natural death its essence in the entire separation it makes between dead and living?
5407Has not many a young girl felt, like Cato, a''secret dread and inward horror''lest the pic- nic day should be rainy?
5407Have we, if our religion is real, no anticipation of happiness in the glorious future?
5407Have you ever read the Life of Mansie Wauch, Tailor in Dalkeith, by that pleasing poet and most amiable man, the late David Macbeth Moir?
5407Have you never felt it?
5407Have you never seen it?
5407Have you not wondered at the tenacity of material life, and at the desperate grasp with which even the most wretched cling to it?
5407Have you not, my philosophic friend, had your donkey?
5407He will just be a common dog; and who that has reached your years cares for that?
5407Here are the two things, Man and Nature; with which thing does the inertness lie?
5407Here is the first-- Do n''t you know, my reader, that it is natural to think very bitterly of the misconduct which affects yourself?
5407His race, his form, his name almost, unknown?
5407How could that poor negro weigh the arguments on either side, and be sure that the blessed Faith, which was then his only support, was true?
5407How does it affect his appetite?
5407How does the notion of inertness come at all, then?
5407How shall dissolution take place with due respect to the dead, and with least harm to the health and the feelings of the living?
5407How should disappointment be met?
5407I ask, is it certain that in all cases the second thought is the best;--is the right thought, as well as the calmest thought?
5407If the professional man spends all he earns, what remains when the supply is cut off; when the toiling head and hand can toil no more?
5407If this be the life of man, what is his death?
5407If you had to appoint a postman, would you choose a man because he had no legs?
5407Is corruption less corruption, in man''s view, because worms like it?
5407Is damnation less damnation, in God''s view, because men like it?
5407Is it reasonable to think that he did so in a fashion so blundering or so deceitful that we can only discern it wrong?
5407Is not that just what millions of things actually do?
5407Is not the mind unsoundly sensitive that finds an offence in a request like that?
5407Is not this disappointment ft It everywhere?
5407Is not, man( to say the least) one of the works of God?
5407Is sin to be taken from men, as Eve was from Adam, by casting them into a deep slumber?
5407Is the alternative worth fighting about?
5407Is there no''rest that remaineth for the people of God,''no home and loving heart awaiting us when the toils of our hurried day of life are ended?
5407It must be true, or how could he live?''
5407Marvel ye at such last words?
5407May we not think upon all this( not dogmatically) in some such fashion as this?
5407Might we not, if we had truly accepted the words of Scripture, have anticipated that it should be so?
5407Mr. Squeers, in his reply, no doubt stated the law of the case: If a man chooses to call his house an island, what is to hinder him?
5407No doubt we are dead: when shall we be quickened to a better life?
5407No doubt, it is wise advice; but how to do all that?
5407Not read it?
5407Now, my friend, have you read Mr. Dickens''story of Martin Chuzzlewit?
5407Now, shall I hate him?
5407Now, was there ever so honest a biographer?
5407Of course the figure is a woman; and the paragraph winds up with the following passage:-- Shall we go to her?
5407Or has it faded into falsehood, as well as into distance and dimness?
5407Or shall it tend to make him underrate himself, and allow inferior men of superior impudence to take the wall of him?
5407Perhaps they have gone to Scotland?
5407Pray go on, gentlemen; and have you, ladies, nothing to say against the wise man of the world that I have depicted?
5407Secondly: Wherefore should we conclude that the phenomenon differs essentially from the fact?
5407Shall Egypt lend out her ancients unto chirurgeons and apothecaries, and Cheops and Psammeticus be weighed unto us for drugs?
5407Shall it lead him to fancy himself a man of very great importance?
5407Shall we eat of Chamnes and Amasis in electuaries and pills, and be cured by cannibal mixtures?
5407Should not I make him howl?
5407Should not he taste the knout?
5407Six times a day would they be expected to say promiscuously to any intelligent friend or stranger,''Have you read the Recreations of a Country Parson?
5407So there we are placed on an equal footing; and what progress has been made in the argument of the question in debate?
5407Taking it, then, as admitted, that the body must return to the dust from whence it was taken, the next question is, How?
5407That harness-- how will you replace it?
5407The friend looked somewhat disconcerted, and said,''Is it absolutely necessary that I should give the Lord''s Prayer?''
5407The question arises, whether the sorrows of the old or the young are the most acute?
5407The question to be considered is, what is the best way to dispose of the mortal part of man when the soul has left it?
5407The question you have to consider is, What ought your conduct to be towards a wrong- doer?
5407There is that old dog: you Lave had him for many years; he is growing stiff and frail; what arc you to do when he dies?
5407These old friends will die, you think; who will take their place?
5407Thirdly: Why can not''inertness, as being absolute inaction, belong to that which truly is?''
5407To what is it all tending?
5407Very likely he wants the money; so did the burglar: but is that any reason why you should give it to him?
5407Was it not a curious mode of life?
5407Was not I extremely anxious to catch the express train yesterday, and did not I miss it?
5407We have heard it said that Macready never produced a greater effect than by the very simple words''Who said that?''
5407We naturally inquire of the first policeman we meet, What is the matter with Glasgow,--has anything dreadful happened?
5407Well, was not the feeling a strange one?
5407What can be cosier than the warm environment of sheet and blanket which encircles you in your snug bed?
5407What do you care for it?
5407What does it mean?
5407What enjoyment of the summer days has the harassed suitor, waiting in nervous anxiety for the judgment or the verdict which may be his ruin?
5407What is the precise nature of all those oddly- named appliances by which it produces its results?
5407What might that time not do?
5407What more do we want to make us truly man?
5407What more fitting subject for a July Sunday than the teachings of the beautiful season which was passing over?
5407What more magnanimous, you think, than to do the opposite of the wrong thing?
5407What right had he to call one of the most admirable men in Britain''this unjust and unrighteous judge?''
5407What right had he to say that their motives were''the pride of their power and the wickedness of their hearts?''
5407What right had he to speak of Mr. Justice Coleridge as a''stony- hearted man?''
5407What said Samuel Johnson when Garrick showed him his grand house?
5407What shall be said as to the effect which a solitary life will produce upon a man''s estimate of himself?
5407What shall we call this lacking thing-- this one thing lacking whose absence is felt in every fibre of our being?
5407What should he do?
5407What sort of men are the Glasgow merchants?
5407What talk concerning summer skies is like the sapphire radiance, so distant and pure, looking in through the church windows?
5407What visions of earthly bliss can ever, if our Christian faith be not a form, compare with''the glory soon to be revealed?''
5407What was the use of talking to him?
5407What worldly work so absorbing as to leave no room in a believer''s spirit for the hallowing thought of that glorious Presence ever near?
5407What would the jury think if told that he will never get a penny of it?
5407When I look back, and see Ailsa as a cloud, is it because it is a cloud and nothing more?
5407When I look back, and see my thoughts as trash, is it because they are trash and no better?
5407When I told you, a long time ago, that this book taught that man is dead and nature living, was this what the words conveyed to you?
5407When will people see its silliness?
5407When will this end?
5407Where did we get the ideas of life and activity, if not from phenomena?
5407Where have they gone?
5407Where shall we discover such a one?
5407Which is the natural way of speaking: to say that the man sees the tree, or that the tree shows itself to the man?
5407Which of these has made best progress towards the end of being a good and efficient preacher?
5407Who does not know this?
5407Who shall say that any one of the successive wants the man has felt is more fanciful, less real, than any other?
5407Who shall say that either disappointed man felt less bitterness and weariness of heart than the other?
5407Who shall say that in one case out of every two, relative success is in proportion to relative merit?
5407Who will believe that Mr. Justice Coleridge is distinguished for his''cold heart and shallow understanding?''
5407Why are we natural everywhere but in the pulpit?
5407Why are we to depreciate the dweller that we may magnify the dwelling- place?
5407Why believe that we are gratuitously and needlessly deluded?
5407Why call in the aid of paralysis to piety?
5407Why can not a thing exist without doing anything?
5407Why does he put it for the time out of sight?
5407Why does that incomparable monthly act blisteringly upon the writer''s mind?
5407Why is it that Eclipse is first and the rest nowhere, while the legs and wind of Eclipse are no whit better than the legs and wind of all the rest?
5407Why is it that failure in attaining ambitious ends is so painful?
5407Why must a''phenomenon be inert because it is a phenomenon?''
5407Why on earth not do so?
5407Why on earth should we take to burning the dead?
5407Why this holoplexia on sacred occasions only?
5407Why, I ask again, are we to cry down man for the sake of crying up nature?
5407Why, therefore, should not the secret of nature''s invariableness be, not passiveness, but rightness?''
5407Wonder ye that one, whose spirit is just entering the separate state, should have this care for the body which he is about to leave to the worms?
5407Would it not have appeared to us a natural result of the study of nature to prove man dead?
5407You see them shabby, and early anxious: can that be the little boy''s rosy face, now so pale and thin?
5407and did not I even then feel a strange pain in the fear that very likely it might?
5407and do n''t you remember how for days you felt haunted by a sort of nightmare that there was what you would be, if you lived so long?
5407but will all this give him his fortune back again?
5407no monument, inscription, stone?
16349''Oh, you are a runaway foremast hand are you? 16349 ''What on airth do you mean by saying"until you time is out?"

16349Oh, Nosey,she said,"what are you doing to poor Baldy?
16349Oh, it looks too like the Catholics, do n''t you see? 16349 The question is a perfectly fair one, Mr. Armstrong,"said the Judge: and turning to the witness he repeated:"Do you know the nature of an oath?"
16349Three men who want to kill you, eh? 16349 Well, Baldy,"he said,"and what did you hear?
16349Well, Tommy, what is the matter?

16349Who owns this building?
16349Whose planks are they?
16349Why do n''t you answer the question?
16349Why the blazes do n''t you get up and come out of this rat- hole?
16349Why, Maggie, you do n''t mean to say you have got a mate?
16349Why, Maggie,said Philip,"what on earth is the matter with you?"
16349Why, what can I do? 16349 Wo n''t Mr. Cunningham go after the men?"
16349Would you have any objection? 16349 You did not mean anything about Baldy, I suppose, did you, now?"
16349You do n''t know me, Mat?
16349You say you gave Cecily some money, a horse, saddle, and bridle?
16349A tall stranger came near looked at the group, and said:"My good man, what in thunder are you crying for?"
16349After recovering the power of speech, his first question was,"How is it possible that any man could ever consent to live in a hole like this?"
16349Ai n''t he pale?
16349Ai n''t you got any trade to work at?"
16349Ai n''t your time your own?''
16349And how am I to get it if I do n''t take it myself?
16349And how could a prayer ever reach heaven in time to be of any use to him, when he could not make it heard outside the deck- house?
16349And is it to hang me now you want to pay me back for the trouble I took for you and all the misery I suffered these long years?
16349And what call had I to say nothing?
16349And who is to blame but your own self for being in this place at all?
16349And who would like to live here for efer a thousand miles from decent neebors?
16349And will the Lord of the Vineyard commend it?
16349Any news to- day?"
16349Are the aboriginals amenable to British law?
16349Are ye runaway Government men?
16349Are you going to stand there all day, and watch me being flogged to death for nothing?"
16349Are you sure it was a kangaroo?"
16349Are you, indeed?
16349As soon as he saw Nosey he exclaimed,"Hello, Nosey, is that you?"
16349At last he said:"''I suppose you know what I mean, Miss Edgeworth?''
16349At last, in his extreme agony, the cook made a piteous appeal to the seamen:[ ILLUSTRATION 2]"Mates, are you men?
16349Barlow?"
16349Barney lived in Lockport, and in an audible whisper said to us:"Ai n''t he getting on finely?
16349Before leaving the court, he turned to the judge and said,"You hang me this time?"
16349Can as much be said of any year since?
16349Could I help you to look for it?"
16349Curious, is n''t it?"
16349Cuts me dead, do n''t he?
16349Did he believe in or hope for a heaven?
16349Did he ever think of anything-- of his past life, or of his future lot?
16349Did n''t you hear about him and Priscilla?"
16349Did you find out who took''em?"
16349Did you never try ashes?
16349Did you say a word to me until you finished your bloody work?
16349Did you start a station there for Imlay?"
16349Do n''t you see the blacks after you?"
16349Do you expect me to believe that anybody among the crowd there would murder you in broad daylight?
16349Do you know where you are now?"
16349Do you think they are swans?"
16349Do you think you could find him?"
16349Eh?"
16349For what purpose?
16349Had they committed mutiny and murder, or only justifiable homicide?
16349Harrigan?"
16349Has the mulatto a whole soul, half a soul, or no soul at all?"
16349He gazed at the river, which was flowing towards the mountains, and said:"What for stupid yallock* yan along a bulga**?"
16349He has been peeling your neck pretty bad, ai n''t he?
16349He pitied her, and said:"My good woman, have you lost anything?
16349He pointed them out to Campbell, and said:"What kind of birds are they?
16349He said:"Is Dr. Ignatius at home?"
16349He said:"Now, Jack, what are you going to do with that knife?"
16349He said:"Oh, is that you, Pilot?
16349He said:"Ve gates, schoolmeister?
16349He said:"Where''s that Britisher?
16349He said:"You as good as any other man, are you?
16349He said:"You want a place to camp on, do n''t you?"
16349He said:''Who are you, where from, and whither bound?''
16349He slowly repeated:"Nancy Toomey has been calling me a carroty- headed crawler, has she?"
16349He stayed with us all the time, and when we had eaten, said:"''Well, have you had a good breakfast?''
16349He was, indeed, very vain and flighty, sidling along his perch and saying:"Sweet pretty Joey, who are you, who are you?
16349Her mother would be certain to miss the watch, and what was she to do with it?
16349Here, Mr. Campbell, would n''t you like to take a roast egg or two for breakfast?
16349How are you getting along?"
16349How could he betray Jemima, his future partner in life?
16349Hugh Boyle held out the bottle, and said,''Here, Mr. McLaggan, would n''t you like a nip yourself?''
16349I asked him what he would like, a drink of water or a cup of tea?
16349I said dere''s de blackfellow, and he''s got papa''s lowsers on, did n''t I now?"
16349I said:"''I guess, Jonathan, this little kid is about the same age as your youngest boy in Boston, ai n''t he?''
16349I say, Nosey, you do n''t happen to have seen any dingoes or blacks about here lately?"
16349I suppose you are an honest man; you look like it anyway, and you would not want to see me murdered, now, would you?"
16349I suppose you were asleep, eh?
16349I would like to know what right the Government, or anybody else, has to ask me for twenty pounds for putting up a hut on this sandbank?
16349Ignatius?"
16349Is it a snake you are killing?"
16349Is that it?
16349Is that what you ask?
16349It has been asked, when did life first appear on the earth?
16349Jack said:"Do you see that big fellow there?
16349Know ye not that smiling river?
16349Man alive, do n''t you know the villain wants to murder me?"
16349Mat said:"Hello, you coves, is it robbing my garden ye are?"
16349Mr. Tyers, the commissioner?
16349Neddy said one night:"Do n''t you think, Joshua, this game of yours is rather dangerous?
16349Nosey eyed him with unusual savagery, and said:"Now did n''t I tell you to say no more about your blasted sheep, or I''d see you for it?
16349Now I put it to you, Neddy, as an honest and sensible man, Am I to get no pay for that seven years''work?
16349Now what did you mean?
16349Or is it true that in our inmost souls we wanted them to die, that we might possess their land in peace?
16349Philip said:"Not very lucky to- day, mate?"
16349Philip went up to the Boozer and said:"Well, my friend, what do you want here?"
16349Sambo paused, looked up to the gum tree, and said,"By golly, who''s dere?"
16349Shackson?"
16349She said:"You see dose two ducks, Miss Sheppard?"
16349So I crossed over and met him, and went close up to him and said,''Well, what have you to say for yoursel''now?''
16349So ye never went to Gippsland at all?"
16349Tell me now, did I murder poor Baldy or did you?
16349The bees or other insects usually take the dust from one flower to the other, but I suppose there are no bees about here just now?"
16349The blacks came nearer, and one of them said,"Gib fig tobacker, mate?"
16349The great question for statesmen now is,"What is to be done for the relief of the masses?"
16349The question is rather, when did the inanimate first appear?
16349The wife said:"What are we boun''to do now, Samiul?
16349Then she said to Mrs. Martin:"Ai n''t it a pity that so respectable a young man should be tramping through the bush like a pedlar with a pack?"
16349Then turning to Cowderoy, he said:"Do you know the nature of an oath?"
16349They look curious, do n''t they?
16349This woke up Bunbury, who sang out:"What''s the matter, Ruffles?
16349To see the isolated and miserable domiciles you occupy and the hard fare on which you subsist?
16349Was I to stand here all day and say never a word for myself until they were ready to hang me?
16349Was it not you who struck him down with the axe without saying as much as''by your leave,''either to me or to him?
16349Was n''t I always on the watch for you every evening looking for you, and the chop on the fire, and the hot tea, and everything comfortable?
16349We found two women cooking supper in the kitchen, and Jonathan said to the younger one,''Is the old man at home?''
16349Well, about those buoys, eh?
16349Were you ever in Preston?"
16349What do you say, Ned?
16349What do you say, mates?
16349What do you think about it, Nosey?"
16349What doom could they expect but that of damnation and eternal death?
16349What good could it do you?
16349What has the Government done for me or anybody else in Gippsland?
16349What has the poor fellow done to you, I''d like to know?
16349What have you to say to that charge?"
16349What makes you ask?"
16349What of that?
16349What shall I do?"
16349What was to be done with the prisoner?
16349What will my friends of the club in London say, when they hear of it, but that the service is going to the dogs?"
16349What with Jack, and what with herself?
16349What wrong have I done?"
16349What''s all that noise about?"
16349Whatever am I to do?
16349Wheer are me and the childer to go in this miserable lookin''place?"
16349When he went on board he spoke to Ruffles, master of the schooner, and said:"Is the harbour- master aboard?
16349When she returned, Nosey said, in a hoarse whisper:"Is he gan yet?"
16349When the wine has been drawn off from the lees, and time has matured it, of what kind will it be?
16349Where is the sense of that, I''d like to know?
16349Which way shall we go?
16349Who are the men in the boat down the channel?"
16349Who are you?
16349Who are you?
16349Who are you?
16349Who is that cove with the spyglass?"
16349Who''s afeered?
16349Why are you here?
16349Why did n''t you leave me alone when I had the fine holt of him?"
16349Why do n''t you like them?"
16349Why do n''t you parsons make money by your eddication if it''s any good, instead of goin''round beggin''?
16349Why not transport all convicts, separate the chaff from the wheat, and purge out the old leaven?
16349You are a gentleman; you have done yourself proud, and we are thankful, ai n''t we, Jack?
16349You can box it and make a bee- line for Western Port, ca n''t you?
16349You eat me?
16349You may be found out some day by an unlucky chance, and then what will you do?"
16349You''ve done your time once, Nosey, and how would you like to do it again?
16349he said,"and what are you doing here, and where did you come from?"
16349is that you?"
16349or had he any fear of hell and eternal punishment?
16349who are you?
16349you were sent out, were you?
16349you''d like to know who does it, would you?
16349your name is Peter, is n''t it?
58781''And you have since decided for them?'' 58781 ''Are you a head soldier?''
58781''Better than the Great Father?'' 58781 ''But you fought?''
58781''Could not your people, whom you love so well, get on with the Americans?'' 58781 ''Do you expect to live here by hunting?
58781''Do you really think, do your people believe that it is wise to reject the proffers that have been made to you by the United States Commissioners? 58781 ''Have you an implacable enmity to the Americans?
58781''How long do you think the buffaloes will last?'' 58781 ''If not, are any part of your people disposed to take up agriculture?
58781''Is your mother living?'' 58781 ''Of the Sioux?''
58781''Of what tribe are you?'' 58781 ''What are you?''
58781''What does he mean?'' 58781 ''What is your feeling toward the Americans now?''
58781''What was he then?'' 58781 ''What will they do, then?''
58781''What, then, makes the warriors of your camp, the great chiefs who are here along with you, look up to you so? 58781 ''Who was your father?''
58781''Why?'' 58781 ''You are an Indian?''
58781''You do not love the Americans?'' 58781 ''You say you are no chief?''
58781After the introduction was over, and the object of their invitation stated, Red Jacket turned to me familiarly and asked:''What are you? 58781 Ah,"said Red Jacket thoughtfully,"is that it?
58781All want to see the poor Indians? 58781 And all these have come on a friendly visit, too?"
58781And do you allow your children to make sport of their chief?
58781And pray what are they?
58781And the deer?
58781And the tree?
58781And what did fate have in store for you?
58781And will gunpowder grow like corn?
58781Can you tell me where Foster''s house is?
58781Did you not know it? 58781 Do all these men want to talk with Captain Brant, too?"
58781Do you know this Indian name?
58781Do you not plant corn in the ground?
58781Explains what?
58781Have you then,demanded the chief,"any method by which you can change your palates every time you change your plate?
58781How I know he mean me? 58781 How does it happen you are at this kind of work while your neighbors are all murdered around you?"
58781How many lodges did you have?
58781How many men-- how many men are there?
58781How much?
58781How much?
58781How muchee?
58781How old are you?
58781Indeed,answered Sir William,"what did my red brother dream?"
58781Is Saul also among the prophets?
58781Is he a full- blood Indian?
58781May I inquire the reason of my being so honored?
58781My father?
58781My son,said the chief, looking at the captain severely,"do you allow your squaw thus to trifle with your father?"
58781Now you are wrapped up in your children and are happy?
58781Now,said Red Jacket,"what was that for?"
58781Oh, get out,the dude ejaculated;"what''s the use of so much politeness with a lazy, sleepy- looking Indian?
58781Qui bamus ahwah?
58781Shall I shoot him in his tracks?
58781Sir,said their spokesman,"do you wish peace or war?"
58781Then how is it that he has a Mexican or Spanish name? 58781 Then you will be going to Fort Sill in a few days to deliver the President''s message?"
58781Well, do you know the great marked maple tree that stands in it?
58781Well,asked Mae,"Why was it Long Yellow Hair was n''t scalped, when every one else was?
58781Well,said the doctor, after a pause,"what can be done for the Moquis?"
58781Well,says Tom,"do you know where the great meadow is?"
58781What are you doing?
58781What did my pale- faced brother dream?
58781What do you want?
58781What him call?
58781What him call?
58781What is your name?
58781What is your name?
58781What was that?
58781What,he exclaimed,"sue Tiger- Tail?
58781Where him live now?
58781Where is your paint?
58781Who goes there?
58781Why can you not speak whilst I write?
58781Why do you plant it?
58781Why you no go,I asked in astonishment,"when the President motioned for you to come?"
58781Why,demanded Pontiac,"do I see so many of my father''s young men standing in the street with their guns?"
58781You know Bible?
58781''He will hear everything, but will say nothing until he feels called upon to agitate something with the tribe?
58781''Was he, is he, a mere medicine man?''
58781''What, nothing?''
58781?
58781A religious teacher?
58781A squaw entered a trader''s store, wrapped in a blanket, pointed to a straw hat and asked:"How muchee?"
58781Also an answer, from the latest research, of the query, WHENCE CAME THE INDIAN?
58781Am I not as I have been?"
58781Am I too feeble to avenge myself of my enemies?
58781And shall he not lead his people in this?
58781And that Smith, though confessedly an ignorant man and a poor writer, could translate Egyptian, one of the most difficult languages in the world?
58781And what can you get by war if we escape you and hide our provisions in the woods?
58781And who was to decide the matter?
58781And, if so, what more natural than that the hostility of so great a chief as Powhatan would be concealed?
58781Are there buffaloes enough?
58781Are we not men?
58781Are we to understand that you refuse those offers?"
58781Are you the Great Spirit?
58781At last, in a tone expressive of anger and scorn, he said:''For what purpose do you come here?
58781At the luncheon counter the one who could master the most English asked,"Guv''munt pay?"
58781Brant met, in society, a nobleman(?)
58781But how dare I cut off my mother''s hair?
58781But it might be asked how is it these Indians are called Tuscaroras or Tuscoards, and Doegs in North Carolina, and Mandans on the upper Missouri?
58781But it might be asked, is such a thing possible after the lapse of ages?
58781But when did a white man ever keep his sacred word to an Indian?
58781By the way, what has become of that young chief who opposed so eloquently the burying of the tomahawk?"
58781Can the Indian be civilized, and is he capable of a high- class education?
58781Can the Indian chieftain again escape?
58781Can you understand it, gentle reader?
58781Can your people subsist on the game here?''
58781Captain Brant?"
58781Could it be that a single Sioux would approach a party of their strength?
58781Dere vas de tree, and here vas my position; how can I help?
58781Did I fear the Great White Chief?
58781Did I fear them?
58781Did I know that I was a fool?
58781Did I not assist you in routing them and driving them away?
58781Did I not go to his camp, and say to him, that if he wished to kill the French he must first kill me and my warriors?
58781Did I not take your part?
58781Did you consider him too brave to be scalped?"
58781Did you make all these things, that you talk to us as though we were boys?
58781Did you make the river to run for us to drink?
58781Did you make the sun?
58781Did you make the world?
58781Do n''t you see that you will probably have the same difficulty in Canada that you have had in the United States?''
58781Do not some of you feel as if you were destined to lose your old hunting grounds?
58781Do you fear that our brothers, the French, who are now among us, will hinder us?
58781Do you hear that agonizing wail on every side?
58781Do you not really believe that a reduction in your charges would materially enhance your pecuniary profits, as well as be ethically proper?
58781Foster?"
58781General Terry recapitulated to them the advantages of being at peace with the United States, the kindly(?)
58781Had not their ancestors been saved in the ark?
58781Have I ever lied to you?
58781Have I not shown you the belts I received from our Great Father, the King of France?
58781Have they ever violated the treaties made with the red men?
58781Have they taken anything from you?
58781Having risen very gravely and spoken a few words in Seneca, he noticed her inquire what he was talking about?
58781He asked General Howard:"Is that your order?
58781He got it and handed it to Rain, saying:"Does that look anything like the fight?"
58781He had been a true though mistaken friend, and who would take his place?
58781He immediately ran to see what it meant, and in the darkness saw a canoe approaching, and shouted to its occupant,"Who are you, friend or foe?"
58781He tells us to strike-- why should we not listen to his words?
58781He who was only chief of a small band or village?
58781His last words were still,"Where is the missionary?"
58781How can he answer it to his country?
58781How could I raise it without planting?"
58781How do I know whether or not you are lying to me?
58781How do we know this to be true?
58781How shall we know when to believe, being so often deceived by the white people?
58781I asked,"and will you kindly write it on my note- book?"
58781I once gave counsels to my young men; am I to conform to others?
58781I open it and a voice inquires:"Pokagon, what of your people?
58781I said,''Sweet smell; is that quanah?''
58781I said:''How so, Isaac?''
58781I say to myself,''which of all these things can you do?''
58781I will leave it to the people of the United States to say whether our nation was properly represented in this treaty?
58781I would like to know why you came here?
58781If it had been my fault would I have come so far to talk with you?''
58781If there is but one religion, why do you white people differ so much about it?
58781If you are not a great chief, why do these men think so much of you?''
58781In the first place, where he was born?
58781Is Shabbona classed among the_ famous_ Indian chiefs?
58781Is it not remarkable that those plates, though giving an account of_ Jews,_ were engraved in_ Egyptian_ characters?
58781Is it robbery?
58781Is my heart bad now?
58781Is not all this a complete vindication of Red Jacket''s courage?
58781Is not this at once beautiful and pathetic?
58781It read as follows:"Captain Cresap""What did you kill my people on Yellow Creek for?
58781It was in consequence of this_ vision(?
58781My first question to Geronimo was,"Where were you born?"
58781Now let us hear what his explanation will be?
58781Old Joseph was present, and when Mr. Spaulding urged him to sign the treaty, he answered,"Why do you ask me to sign away my country?
58781On receiving an affirmative answer, he continued,"Do you remember saving the life of a wounded lieutenant from Kentucky by the name of Shelby?"
58781Or whether we received a fair compensation for the extent of country ceded by those four individuals?
58781President say:''Wo n''t you go hunting with me in big prairie, and stay week and show us where to find the wolves?''
58781Shall I dig under her skin for her bones?
58781Shall I take a knife and tear my mother''s bosom?
58781Shall we fight the Americans?"
58781She now addressed the warriors about as follows:"Are you men, old women or children?
58781Should our women say that our livers were white?
58781Should we let strangers take their country from them?
58781So much for the primeval settlement and civilization of South and Central America, but what about the aborigines of the Northern Continent?
58781Some day he will ask Wabasha,''Where is your red brother?''
58781Sue a man who ai n''t got nothing but a shirt?
58781Tecumseh also directed the Indians, that should the question be asked, why he had come so far?
58781Tell me, do you hate the Americans very much?"
58781The alarmed champion dropped his sword and exclaimed,"Who can you be?
58781The idea of impressing the untutored mind of poor Lo{?}
58781The price was quoted and was followed by another query of"How muchee?"
58781The principal object of this expedition was to find an answer to the question, How was this continent peopled?
58781The reports of this miracle(?)
58781The shirt?"
58781Then he said twice, though very inwardly,''Keen Winsnow?''
58781Then, stepping close to me, he said, in a low tone:_''Does the mole think that Black Hawk forgets?
58781These three friends in his time of distress shouted their welcome salutation of"Wha- cheer, wha- cheer?"
58781They are not acquainted with our designs, and if they did know them, could they prevent them?
58781They kill buffaloes for what?
58781They remembered his own prophetic appeal--"Who shall take my place among my people?"
58781This he afterward published while at Salem, and in it he said:"Why lay such stress upon your patent from King James?
58781Tom heard him out-- and, with the coolness of a stoic, replied--"Did you not find the meadow I said?"
58781Too- Hool- Hool- Suit answered:"Who are you, that you ask us to talk, and then tell me I sha n''t talk?
58781Turning to the station agent and looking up the track he asked,"How much?"
58781WHENCE CAME THE ABORIGINES OF AMERICA?
58781Was he the great chief of the Apache nation?
58781Was it a rude and savage nature that prompted this attention to a little child, to gladden a mother''s heart?
58781Was it not I and my young men?
58781Was it to insure his own safety, by having a strong guard always present?
58781Was not he, Sitting Bull, a great Medicine Man?
58781Was not this a delicate way of showing gratitude and expressing friendship?
58781Were the remains of Prince Madog''s company represented in these''Doeg''Tuscaroras?
58781What are they?
58781What can a few brave warriors do against the innumerable warriors of the Seventeen Fires?
58781What can you do against us?
58781What did those innocent people do to you that you should kill them, steal their horses, and slip around in the rocks like coyotes?
58781What do you expect to gain by destroying us who provide you with food?
58781What do you fear?
58781What evidence have I of your sincerity?
58781What had that to do with killing innocent people?
58781What have the English done for us?"
58781What have we done that you should want us to stop?
58781What is the matter that you[ General Crook] do n''t speak to me?
58781What is this?
58781What prevents our extermination?

44263A burst of firing greeted our attempt, and when we succeeded, a Cockney who had a flesh wound caused a smile by saying,"Go back?
44263A kindly disposed staff officer happened to come along, and seeing the man thus engaged, said,"Having a wash, my man?"

44263After hailing the boat someone on our destroyer shouted,"Why did n''t you get some more oars out?"

44263It is too much for one soul, and a Cockney voice calls out:"''Ere, wot price this fer Margate?"
44263Just for something to say I called out to the chap in the next shell- hole-- a Brentford lad he was:"What d''you think of it, Alf?"
44263Just outside that town he was met by the Adjutant, who said,"Hullo, driver, what''s happened-- where''s cook''s cart with the kits?"

44263One of our troop addressed the rider thus:"Many up there, mate?"
44263One of the platoon, not seeing the officer, thought the remark was a joke, so he replied,"Yes, why ai n''t the band playing?"
44263Our captain was in a rage and shouted down from the bridge to the officer of the watch,"Is there anyone on board who can speak German?"
44263Peering into the blackness, I called out,"Where are you?"
44263Picquet officer( appearing from a corner of the trench):"What''s the meaning of all these feathers, Brown?"
44263Presently there was a lull, and the American officer was heard to ask,"Say, boys, where is the front line in these parts?"
44263Rank, name, and regimental number were given, and then the orderly asked,"Which division are you from?"

44263The Tommy replied:"Wot''s the good of making that leg strite w''en the uvver one''s bowed?"
44263The company officer was inclined to be cross with him, and asked him,"But what made you go so far as the enemy position?"
44263The first time I went to see him, he said,"What do you think of it?
44263The jolting of the cart apparently jerked a little life into him, for he asked me,"Got a fag, mate?"
44263The officer said:"Where did you find them?"
44263The officer, becoming annoyed at the delay, sent back the message:"Who''s the fool who lost his gumboot?"
44263The usual form of inquiry was:"Hullo---- what have you got?"
44263Then the padre asked the wheel driver in a very small voice,"My man, can I do anything to assist you?"
44263There came from the line a sergeant, who shouted,"Why do n''t you lads duck?"
44263To the Greek he said,"Hi,''oo the dickens d''you fink you are-- the Lord Mayor?

44263What have we got?"
44263What next?"
44263What was to be done?
44263What would you do?
44263What''s happened?"
44263When I asked if I could do anything for him, he said:"Are there many hurt?"
44263When he arrived abreast of us he shouted in very good English:"It''s a long way to Tipperary, boys, is n''t it?"
44263When he saw me he called out above the row going on:"I''opes yer do n''t mind me''aving come to the garden party wivout an invertition, sir?"

46933How long do they have to keep that up?
46933How many cards you got?
46933How many of them are there?
46933How would that do?
46933I beg your pardon?
46933Is it awfully dry? 46933 Is n''t it?
46933Is that necessary?
46933Is this the library? 46933 Is this the library?"
46933Is this the one you want--''The Halfback''? 46933 Is_ that_ what it means?"
46933It is a mongoose, is it not?
46933Jane, do you mean to say that you do not know how to mulch?
46933Keep what up?

46933No; what good are they?
46933Now, Willie,she said,"which do you like best, story- books or nature books?"
46933Oh, would that make any difference?
46933One moment,I interposed,"how do you classify your animals?
46933Sam, what Bailey is it they are to look it up in?
46933Say, I guess yer got into some trouble here last week, did n''t yer?
46933She was the woman that was married three or four times, and ought to have been two or three other times, was n''t she?
46933So you''ve only got to- day and to- morrow?
46933That the library? 46933 The genuine Pobble?"
46933The one with which he killed the Lord of Luna?'' 46933 The snakes are an especially fine part of the collection,"Mr. Gooch remarked;"do you see this swamp adder?
46933There is n''t any such thing,she said presently;"do n''t you mean perennials?
46933They look much more harmless than Bob Acres''pistols, do they not? 46933 This?
46933To be what?
46933Trouble? 46933 Was he the fellow who said we were all descended from monkeys?"
46933Was it any good?
46933Was there never an Indian raid?
46933Well, let me see, how about Browning?
46933Well, what could we have? 46933 Well, why could n''t we have that?"
46933Well, why_ did n''t_ you mulch''em?
46933Well, you know who Swinburne was, do n''t you?
46933What are danger signs?

46933What in thunder are you beginning to grind now for?
46933What is it?

46933What one?
46933What was that?
46933What will happen to them?
46933What would the scientific name be?
46933What''s that?
46933What, the author of''Winged Warblers of Waltham''and''Common or Garden Birds''?
46933What?
46933Where is he?
46933Where''s that copy of''Thelma''? 46933 Where''s the teacher?"
46933Who are they?
46933Who? 46933 Whom did you see in there?"
46933Why, it does n''t say that, does it?
46933Will we? 46933 Will you please ask Miss Bixby to look it up, and let me know as soon as possible?"
46933Would you mind getting me a rain- coat? 46933 You do n''t?
46933You wanted to see me? 46933 _ What?_ Tripped you up?"
46933_ What?_ Tripped you up?
46933A man( mopping his brow):"Say, what''s this''open- shelf''business,--d''ye have to find your own books?
46933A serious- faced man, evidently a workingman in his best clothes:"Have n''t you got the Encyclopà ¦ dia Britannica here?
46933A small boy:"Have you any books about explosions?
46933A small girl:"Please, can I keep this book on how to bring up parrots till next week?"
46933A tall and very resolute- looking woman, with three books under her arm:"Have you got''The Leopard''s Spots''in this library?
46933A voice from the rear of the crowd:"Why do n''t you do something about it?"
46933A woman leading a child:"Haf you de Deutsches Balladenbuch?"
46933A woman with poppies on her hat:"How do you do, Miss Vanderpyl?
46933A woman:"Just let me take that pencil of yours, a minute?"
46933A young lady, an acquaintance of Miss Grant, who thinks she is doing a little slumming:"Oh, Miss Grant, how do you do?
46933Ai n''t you?"
46933And this is the book you want to take?"
46933And who was Pamela Pingree who died in 1689?"
46933And your husband, I presume, will represent the marquis?"
46933And, look here, is n''t this page 719?"
46933Another man:"That''s because it''s Carnegie''s library, ai n''t it, miss?"
46933Another small boy:"Have n''t you got the Mutt and Jeff book yet?
46933Are there not some events that would be suitable?
46933At the time when I began to take down their conversation, the young woman was saying:"What''s''Gibbon''?
46933Bailey who?
46933Browning?"
46933Bunkum?"
46933But what was that about Grub Street?
46933But what will I say to Aunt Ella?"
46933But, say, how is that?
46933Buying sweet- peas?"
46933Can you do nothing to remedy this state of things?
46933Central gave me the wrong number.... Hello, is this central?
46933Could it have been because his poems are easy to understand and that I thought it would seem more''scholarly''to put in Browning?
46933D''ye see this postal?
46933David?
46933Dear me, is that your ancestor?"
46933Did not General Washington and Mrs. Washington visit our town?"
46933Did she?"
46933Did you call for us?"
46933Did you look under''periodicals''?"
46933Do n''t say he lived in the Craigie House on Brattle street, and wrote''Evangeline,''will you?
46933Do n''t yer know how to work that?"
46933Do n''t yer?
46933Do you mean to say that you own only_ one_ copy of such an important work?"
46933Do you recognize the canary?"
46933Do you s''pose I can work that gag now, an''get''By England''s Aid''?"
46933Do you suppose an authority like Mrs. Bunkum would write a book on gardening, and not mention such common things as sunflowers?
46933Do you understand?
46933During the interval that followed, the operator at central asked three times:"Did you get them?"
46933Ever hear of him?"
46933Gracious, is that clock right?
46933Have you a history of Peru?
46933Have you any books about birds?"
46933Have you any other animals in it?"
46933Have you anything sufficiently mournful?"
46933Have you ever raised any?"
46933Have you ever read this book?"
46933Have you ever tried it?"
46933Have you got it here or have n''t you?
46933Have you got it?"
46933Have you something there in which you have absolutely no interest-- some book or article that is dry as dust?"
46933Have you the book right there?
46933Have you''The Blandishments of Belinda''in this library?"
46933Hello, is this the Public Library?
46933Henderson''s glue factory?
46933How are you for pigs''feet to- day?"
46933How are you on Swift, Addison and that crowd?
46933How do you do it?"
46933How does it go?"
46933How many yer got?"
46933How old was the man?''
46933I ca n''t see it over the telephone, can I?
46933I do n''t see what this''Sunbonnet''means, do you?
46933I had often read of this custom in times of mutiny, so I remarked:"I suppose it was by your orders, Captain?"
46933I had to sit and listen to this chatter:"What yer got?"
46933I understand that you answer inquiries by telephone?
46933I''d like to read his book-- I wonder if they''ve got it here?"
46933If that''s so, how under the sun, I''d like to know, was he married to Pamela Perkins in 1706?"
46933In Freedom Bailey''s Cyclopà ¦ dia of Agriculture, or any dictionary.... Did you find it?
46933Is n''t she there?"
46933Is that Miss Fairfax?
46933Is that central?
46933Is that you?
46933Is there no other way?
46933Is this Miss Fairfax?
46933Is this the library?
46933Is this the library?
46933It does n''t look earthly, does it?
46933It has n''t been discharged-- who brought this in?
46933It was about so high-- oh, I forgot, you ca n''t see over the telephone, can you?
46933It was to appear next April, and now who knows whether I shall be there ready to reply to the attacks which I know it will provoke?
46933Kookle?"
46933Let me see; I believe I sent you an advance invitation?
46933Miss Fairfax has gone to her supper?
46933Miss Fairfax?
46933Miss French, the other librarian, laying a very dirty slip of paper on Miss Grant''s desk:"What do you suppose this means?
46933Miss Grant:"Oh, yes-- just write her a note, will you, Miss French?
46933Miss Grant:"Perhaps you took it from the central library, or one of the other branches?"
46933Miss Grant:"Why, how old is he?"
46933Miss Patterson?
46933Miss V.( becoming rather red):"Your card?"
46933Miss V.:"Ca n''t you tell me about the book,--what it was about, I mean?"
46933Miss V.:"He means''One Way Out,''--see if there is a copy in, will you?"
46933Miss V.:"Is that it?"
46933Miss V.:"It must keep him rather busy, do n''t you think, running all his libraries?"
46933Miss V.:"Was it a story?
46933Miss V.:"Was it fiction-- a novel?"
46933Miss V.:"What book do you want?"
46933Miss V.:"What was the title?"
46933Miss V.:"Which same one?
46933Miss V.:"Who was the author-- who wrote it?"
46933Miss V.:"Why, I ca n''t give you a book unless you have a card,--haven''t you ever borrowed books from the library?"
46933Miss V.:"Will you look it up in the catalogue, please?
46933Miss V.:"Yes, your library card,--haven''t you one?"
46933No, please hold the line; I have n''t finished yet.... Is that you, Miss Fairfax?
46933Not by authors, I take it?"
46933Now how many of these will you take?
46933Now what would you advise?
46933Now, can you tell me what the name of the book is, Miss Patterson?"
46933Now, do you remember what it was?"
46933Now, if I should describe it to you do you think you could look it up in some of your books?"
46933Now, if you''ll just--"A high school student:"Can I get a copy of''The Merchant of Venice,''the Rolfe edition?"
46933Now, what do you suppose it is?"
46933Now, what shall I do-- shall I sit down here and help you?"
46933Now, would you let x equal the age of the uncle, or the man?"
46933Oh, Miss Anderson?
46933Oh, Miss Anderson?
46933Oh, Miss Tyler and Miss Hancock, out at the desk, of course, and who?
46933Oh, how do you do?
46933Oh, is n''t that''The Long Roll''over there on that desk?
46933Oh, you did-- you''re returning it?
46933One of the little boys began to cry, and Mr. Fernald, remarking,"I guess that will do, wo n''t it?"
46933Over there, you see that big crowd?
46933Perhaps you recognize the other?"
46933Say, have you ever read any of Alger''s?"
46933Shall I put him out?"
46933Smith?"
46933Something about your son?"
46933Still, my little museum-- you have never seen it?
46933That peculiar machine in the corner?
46933That''s so, ai n''t it?
46933The confidential man( beginning to lose his patience, at last):"_ About?_ Why, it was about a lot of things!"
46933The confidential man:"Huh?"
46933The confidential man:"Lord, I dunno!--Just let me have it, will yer?"
46933The confidential man:"The title?--Oh, the_ name_ of it?"
46933The man:"Why, I thought he run it, do n''t he?"
46933The personage( mystified):"Card?"
46933The personage:"Who made that rule?"
46933The personage:"Why not?"
46933The small man:"I beg pardon?"
46933The small man:"Oh, those_ horrid_ cards?
46933The two swords next to Horatius''s-- who owned them?"
46933The very large woman:"What?
46933The what?
46933The woman with poppies:"Oh, is that so?"
46933There were my beloved Goethe and Schiller-- should I start with them?
46933This is a cigar- cutter''s knife-- a curious weapon, is n''t it?
46933This is a literal account of what they said:"When is the exam?"
46933This other raven--""Belonged to Barnaby Rudge, I suppose?"
46933This pretty little pair of scissors?
46933This stone- headed club is my oldest specimen-- it belonged to Ab-- you know his story, no doubt?
46933This the library?"
46933Two dozen?
46933Two high- school students, at once:"Can I get''The Merchant of Venice''in the Rolfe edition?"
46933Two women:"Oh, what''s he putting out the lights for?
46933WHY NOT GET RID OF THEM?
46933Well, how will this one do?
46933Well, look it up in the catalogue.... Oh, ask Miss Anderson to come back.... Is that you, Miss Anderson?
46933Well, where is it, then?
46933What are you staying so late for?
46933What are you talking about?
46933What does he think?"
46933What does the course cover?"
46933What does your Aunt Ella read?
46933What in the name of common sense impelled their coach to put Sir John Falstaff at center?
46933What is that?
46933What on earth shall I do?
46933What was his attitude toward it?"
46933What would you like to know about her?"
46933What you got?"
46933What''s that, Central?
46933What''s the matter with that girl at central?
46933What''s the matter-- is he back again?"
46933What''s this--''Site of the Old Pump''?

46933What?
46933What?
46933What?
46933When are you goin''to get it?"
46933When that point has been reached with real ghosts, what can be expected of the fictitious ones?
46933Where did you get all this?"
46933Where is Miss Anderson?
46933Where is he?
46933Where''s Mrs. Bunkum?
46933Where, for instance, is the village simpleton?
46933Which should I begin to read?
46933Who invented them?"
46933Who is in the reference room?
46933Who is the author?"
46933Who is this talking?
46933Who is this?
46933Who was the author?"
46933Who''s he?
46933Who, indeed, but poor, despised Benny Bilkins, the village idiot?
46933Why did n''t yer get''By England''s Aid''?"

46933Why, what do you think he told me last week?"
46933Why, what''s the matter with this index?
46933Why, whatever do you find to do with yourselves down there?
46933Why, you read all the books that come into the library, do n''t you?"
46933Will not some of them dig up one or two of the old characters we have been discussing, and see if they can not send the thermometer up a few degrees?
46933Will you hold the line, please?"
46933Will you look it up, please?
46933Would I like it?"
46933Would you like to see them?"
46933Would you mind looking it up in the catalogue, please?"
46933Yes, to come to the''phone.... What''s that?

46933You do n''t know where it is?
46933You do, do you not?
46933You have accessioned two hundred books this afternoon?
46933You have?
46933You know of Mr. Kookle, of course?"

46933You''ll just let me take it, wo n''t you?"
46933You''re sure you do n''t remember the one I want?"
46933You''ve_ quite_ recovered from that dreadful illness you had last fall?
46933_ Now_, you can remember what book it was, ca n''t you, Miss Patterson?"
46933do you suppose any of those are sunflowers?"
46933inquired Mrs. Mayo, eagerly,"What is it?"
46933that is what you call it-- a literary- zoölogical annex?
46933why, it was about-- now, what in the world_ was_ it about?
20001A large party, Mark?

20001And why not, sirrah?
20001And why should he not?
20001Are you going by the Brighton, mam?
20001But are you aware of the usefulness and national importance of the projector''s plans? 20001 But now, what Quixote of the age would care To wage a war with dirt, and fight with air?"
20001But why has Brighton the preference as a watering place?
20001By the honour of my ancestry,rejoined the Gloucestershire colonel,"do you take me for a reporter to the paper in question?"
20001Could a stranger visit the place,I inquired, without molestation or the charge of impertinence, Barney?"
20001Could you make room for three more gentlemen?
20001Do n''t you think, Mr. Alderman,said a lusty lady on the opposite side of the table,"the fish is rather_ high_?"
20001Do we take_ the whole_ of you to- day, sir?
20001Do you see that machine before us, a sort of cabriolet, with two horses drove in a curricle bar? 20001 Does that coach go the whole way to France?"

20001Shall we take a_ tooddle_ up to Hyde- park corner?
20001Take a fare to Covent Garden?
20001What a cursed narrow hole this is for a decent- sized man to cram himself in at?
20001What do you mean by_ the whole_? 20001 What do you think of that port, sir?"
20001What do you want?
20001What news from Spain, my lord, this morning?

20001_ Pulchrum est accusari ah accusandis_,said my friend, the bookseller,"who has suffered more by the fashionable world than yourself?
20001''And what may that be?''

34038After I left you,said he,"the thought struck me,--Why can not I control the muscles of my system as well as my appetites and passions?
34038And do you think,he added,"that I must die?"
34038And how long is it usual to wear it? 34038 And who is Hezekiah?"
34038And you have no positive knowledge of but one permanent cure among them all?
34038And you think, do you, that this highly seasoned food is the cause of your dyspepsia?
34038Any one else?
34038Are the public, then, fully determined to act against their own interest? 34038 Are you not aware,"I added,"that physicians seldom take their own medicines or give them to their families?"
34038Are you quite sure there_ is_ any gain or prize, after all?
34038But can you do nothing with my face?
34038But for what purpose would you give her pumpkin- seed tea? 34038 But he was very confident he could cure him?"
34038But how many have been cured by it? 34038 But our poor pathology and worse therapeutics-- shall we ever get to a solid bottom?
34038Do I understand you? 34038 Do n''t you think he is struck with death, doctor?"
34038Do we know, for example, in how many instances such a treatment fails, for the one time it succeeds? 34038 Do you know what Dr. Thornton thinks about it?"
34038Do you know,added Dr. Tisdale,"that we do a great deal more harm than good with medicine?"
34038Do you mean to ask if I believe Mr. Browning was really cured?
34038Do you mean to do nothing?
34038Do you mean to intimate that the bountiful provision you make for others renders it necessary for you to overeat? 34038 Do you really think so?"
34038Do you wish me to learn to swim, if possible? 34038 Has any one been really cured by it?"
34038Has the doctor ordered my daughter no milk punch?
34038Have you drank it?
34038Have you much confidence in a method of treatment that succeeds once in fifty times, or even once in twenty?
34038How could I doubt what I have seen and known?
34038How do you do?
34038How do you know?
34038How long have you been troubled with it?
34038How, then,she asked,"can the ninny expect she can ever have any nourishment for that_ boy_?"
34038Is it a favorite remedy with her?
34038Is there, then, no choice between medication and no- medication? 34038 Nonsense, my son,"said the father;"do you think coffee is powerful enough to give a man a lame knee?
34038There is no possibility of accounting for it, my son, and why should we talk about it? 34038 To what larger transgression, my dear father, will you be more ready to refer it?
34038Tried it? 34038 What can it mean?"
34038What have you been doing?
34038What have you done for it?
34038What,said they, with much surprise,"has become of the rum?"
34038What_ is_ tic douloureux?
34038Where is your distress?
34038Who hath woe,--as Solomon says, with respect to a very different description of human character,--if not this poor widow?
34038Who is this?
34038Why do medical men,I asked,"give us such strange names?
34038Why was it,said I,"that you could get no more blood?"
34038Why, then, is it not oftener done?
34038Why,said they,"what does the man mean?
34038Will it not be needful for you to call again?
34038Would you do nothing more?
34038Would you, then, do nothing at all but bind it up and keep it still?
34038--"But is there nothing of a healing nature I can use?"
34038--"Do you think you could bear to know the truth?
34038--"On the upper part of the foot?"
34038--"What do you want bleeding for?"
34038--"Why not?"
34038----?"
34038Almost out of patience, the doctor at length replied:"Struck with death?
34038An earnest mind, in connection with an indomitable will-- what may it not accomplish?
34038And are our physicians and our medicines likely to bring us there?
34038And by what means?
34038And does not salting it so harden or toughen it, or, as it were, fix it, that it will resist the natural tendency to decomposition or putrefaction?
34038And does not this fully account for a most remarkable fact?
34038And if so, is it not desirable to let well enough alone?"
34038And if we are to begin it at once, on whom shall the work devolve?
34038And in therapeutics, is it better yet, or worse?
34038And is it all over?
34038And may not this be one reason why a foreign language has been so long retained in connection with the names of diseases and medicines?
34038And was I not bound to do what I believed he would do, in similar circumstances?
34038And was the physician, think you, an uninterested spectator?
34038And what had become of the one barrel which had disappeared?
34038And what is the hope of his patient?
34038And whence all this?
34038And who are you with whom I am conversing?"
34038And why did not he?
34038And why, indeed, may I not coin terms as well as others?
34038Any objections to eating two sour apples after breakfast and dinner?"
34038Any salt fish?
34038Are they the result of chance or hap- hazard?
34038At least, how do we know but it may be so?
34038But could I avoid such a conclusion?
34038But could he have been thus worn out at the age of fifty- eight?
34038But did he cure?
34038But does he secure to himself the most pleasure who thinks most about it?
34038But for what purpose, as a final end?
34038But he was now gone to his final account, and on whose arm could Mary lean for medical advice?
34038But how is it known?
34038But how is it to be done?
34038But how was this to be done?
34038But is it not equally true that when he is resolutely going up hill, they are equally ready to help him on?
34038But is not plain,"unvarnished"truth sometimes not only"stranger,"but, in a work like this, better also, than any attempts at"fiction"?
34038But is there no medicine I can take that will_ partially_ restore me?
34038But what could I do?
34038But what could I do?
34038But what good would it have done?
34038But what shall hinder or prevent our coming to similar results, in the investigation, in time to come, of other diseases?
34038But what then?
34038But what would this do towards giving me a liberal education?
34038But why should such a young man be found at a seminary of learning?
34038But would there have been any advantage in such a recovery, over one which was equally rapid and perfect without the aid of medicine?
34038But, is it probable that this better day will dawn on a world which, in respect to health and longevity, is going in the other direction?
34038But, is this benefit immense?
34038By whom?
34038Can I eat tripe-- corned beef-- oysters-- lean pork steak?
34038Can any one suppose, for a moment, that so curious and complicated an organ as the skin, and one of such considerable extent, has nothing to do?
34038Can he reasonably expect, even with the aid of a skilful surgeon, ever to have a good leg?
34038Can it be so?
34038Can it be that she has been compelled, in this form, to pay a fearful penalty for her former abuses?
34038Can it kill him?
34038Can there be such a difference in the effects when there is only a difference of one degree in temperature?
34038Can you get rid of an effect till you first remove the cause?"
34038Could Hippocrates or Galen have done more?
34038Could I carry out my plan?
34038Could I possibly reach it?
34038Danforth and Hubbard?
34038Did I say I learned these important truths from this source?
34038Did the end either sanction or sanctify the means?
34038Do not such facts as these point, with almost unerring certainty, to the inefficiency of all medical treatment?
34038Do not these attract each other?
34038Do our diseases spring out of the ground?
34038Do they choose to be humbugged?"
34038Do we know how large a proportion of cases would get well without any treatment, compared with those that recover under it?
34038Do you mean as you say?"
34038Do you regard this assertion as extravagant or unfounded?
34038Do you suppose I have any power to grant you an immunity from the evil effects of high living while that high living is persisted in?
34038Do you think it would hurt her?"
34038Does it make much practical difference which?
34038Does it not operate like a charm?"
34038Either of these causes may, as it is most fully believed, produce disease; but if so, what is not to be expected from a combination of the two?
34038Every one said:"How can it be?"
34038Facts of similar import, in very great numbers, some more and some less striking, might be related, to almost any extent; but can it be necessary?
34038For example, when I spoke of my patient being worn out, prematurely, by overworking, it was asked by one man,"But how is this?
34038For if it was unfavorable, would it not be too much for you in your enfeebled condition?"
34038For if so, what necessity is there of the medical profession?
34038For residing, as we did, only a few miles apart, why had I not heard of it?
34038Grant that I saved, or seemed to save, the patient;--was she really saved?
34038Had I a moral right thus to do?
34038Had I the needful strength?
34038Had water, moreover, as his only drink, nothing to do with the cure?
34038Has the surgeon or physician, in such circumstances, much reason to hope?
34038Has the"glorious"_ Fourth_ gone by and I have not acted up to the dignity of a well- formed and glorious resolution?
34038Have I not great reason to fear that my advice was not sufficiently pointed and thorough?
34038Have all diseases, then, their exciting causes?
34038Have we judged-- have we deduced our results, especially in the last science-- from_ all_, or from a selection of facts?
34038Have you,"he added,"been into the cellar?"
34038He was evidently affected by the stramonium; but how, I said to myself, can this be?
34038How can a person, male or female, begin its use at forty and continue it to seventy years of age, and yet be, for the most part, strong and healthy?
34038How could I have done so?
34038How could this happen, you will naturally ask, if opium is such a deadly narcotic as some medical men proclaim it to be?
34038How is it that treatment so exactly opposite should be almost, if not quite, equally successful?
34038How long is it, pray, since you began to use the chalk and egg plaster?"
34038How much at a time?
34038How would it do, thought I, to commence at once the practice of medicine?
34038How would one of Lee''s pills defend me from it, even for two days?
34038I had the leisure, had I the needful strength?
34038I said, only half awake;"and where is the side of the mountain?
34038If honest, must we not acknowledge that, even in the natural history of disease, there is very much_ doubtful_, which is received as_ sure_?
34038If not, and if a radical change is desirable, when is it to be made?
34038In one of my most lucid intervals, therefore, he said to me,"Do you expect to recover from your disease?"
34038In these circumstances, I repeat, what could be done?
34038Is chewing gum from spruce trees injurious?--or birch bark?
34038Is it an arch enemy?
34038Is it not that man is made to live, and is tough, so that it is not easy to poison him to death?
34038Is it not to prevent change?
34038Is it not true-- the old adage, that while"God,"in his mercy,"sends us meats, the Devil,"in his malignity,"sends us cooks?"
34038Is it the Divine Being?
34038Is it to keep up the idea of mystery, as connected with the profession, in order thus to maintain an influence which modest worth can not secure?"
34038Is milk bad in case of liver disease?
34038Is she not doing as well as could be expected?
34038Is there a personage, spiritual but real, that strikes?
34038Is there any objection to baked sour apples and milk, or to sour apples after using a little milk or bread?
34038Is there any objection to my using all these now, in proper quantities?
34038Is_ perhaps_ to be our qualifying word forever and for aye?
34038It might, perhaps, be successful; but what if it should prove otherwise?
34038L.?"
34038May we not trust much more than we have heretofore believed, in the recuperative efforts of Nature?
34038Mr. Browning had something on his face, and it got well; but do we know it was a cancer?
34038Much of this was needed; and yet how could it be obtained?
34038Must I go down to the consumptive''s grave?
34038Must I perish at less than thirty years of age, and thus make good the declaration that the wicked shall not live out half his days?
34038Must the case be abandoned?
34038Must the disease be"touched off"with hot or impure air, by hard colds, by excitements of body and mind, and in a thousand and one other ways?
34038Must the igniting spark be applied?
34038Must we forever be obliged to hang our heads when the chemist and natural philosopher ask us for our laws and principles?...
34038Must we not, therefore, look for some other cause?
34038My father had credit, and could raise money for me; but_ would_ he?
34038Need I say here that a medical man-- one who rode daily on horseback-- paid a proper regard to the laws of exercise?
34038Now how do we know whether it is the disease that kills or the medicine?
34038Now, how do you account for it?"
34038Now, which is the best for me to use on my bread, at supper time-- cream, milk, molasses, or a little butter?--or with my other meals?
34038Observe, too, he says he feels no temptation to eat between his meals; but why?
34038One day, rather unexpectedly, I met him again, and inquired familiarly how he got along with his cholera?
34038Or have your remarks a reference to a supposed necessity of eating rich food?"
34038Or should a few stitches be taken?
34038Or was there some other way, some_ new_ way, by means, of which it could be reached?
34038Or, if Heaven more than persuades-- somewhat more-- does not man still decree?
34038Ought I not to have used the same plainness that he would have used?
34038Perhaps, at my age, entire restoration from such a hydra disease as dyspepsia is hardly to be expected; but can you not patch me up in part?"
34038Port;"what is the matter with it?"
34038R."Is it doing well?"
34038R., how are you?"
34038Reader, are here no confessions of medical importance?
34038Shall I be able to render up my account of the intercourse I had with them, in the great day, with joy, or must it be with grief and shame?
34038Shall I tell you how they were gradually and successfully overcome?
34038Shall I tell you the whole story?"
34038Shall we ever have fixed laws?
34038Shall we ever_ know_, or, must we always be doomed to_ suspect_, to_ presume_?
34038Shall we wait till we have run down a century or two longer, or shall we begin the work immediately?
34038Should I not be thankful?
34038Should you lose that little girl of yours, simply because you are anxious to carry out a theory, will you not be likely to regret it?
34038Somebody must assist him; and though the case was a troublesome one, why should I not take my share of troublesome cases among the rest?
34038Soon after I made a beginning, the thought struck me,"Why not make the experiment of frequently bathing the eyes in cold water?"
34038Starting up, he said,"Do you think my disease is consumption?"
34038The neighbors, almost as weak as herself, would come in and say:"Why do n''t your doctor give such or such a thing?
34038The rest of the family drank freely of the water, why did not they sicken as well as we?
34038The thought struck me as quickly as the imaginary blow did-- have I not taken the disease?
34038Their appeals were not wholly ineffective; indeed, what else could have been expected?
34038There was no other surgeon within a reasonable distance, and why should I refuse to do my best for him?
34038These young doctors, just from the schools, what can they know, the best of them?"
34038They admitted the danger of such cases generally; but how could the boy be injured, and not the rest of them?
34038This he called rheumatism; but was it so?
34038This was, in no trifling degree, an educational process; for is it not well known that,"Teaching we learn, and giving we retain?"
34038This, however, neither interested me much nor encouraged me; for( reader will you believe it?
34038True, she asked after the first swallow,"what will the doctor say to this?"
34038Under such circumstances what ground was there for hope?
34038WHO HATH WOE?
34038WHO HATH WOE?
34038Was I not his follower?
34038Was all this the result of mere accident?
34038Was he with"birds of a feather?"
34038Was it a hasty or forced one?
34038Was it any thing, I said to myself, which was imbibed or received from the mother?
34038Was it safe, in my present condition, to run the risk?
34038Was it strange even, if I approached at times, the very borders of despair?
34038Was it, then, safe for me to go?
34038Was not such a trial almost too great?
34038Was there any absolute gain in the end?
34038Was there any great risk in trying one?
34038Was there room, then, for a single gleam of hope?
34038Was there, now an opportunity?
34038We asked her if she could think of any other physician that she would like to see?
34038Were not, then, all my difficulties practically overcome, at least prospectively?
34038What am I to eat this winter-- next spring-- next summer?
34038What could be done without it?
34038What could be the cause?
34038What could be the possible cause, I often asked myself, of this downward tendency?
34038What do they mean by it?
34038What do you mean?
34038What evidence then was there that it had been useful now?
34038What food shall I be obliged to avoid to keep my passions in check?
34038What if it had given offence?
34038What kind of meats?
34038What kinds of meat and fish will do for me to eat?
34038What knew they about precocity and its effects on the after life?
34038What more could have been possible?
34038What more could my friends have expected?
34038What more or greater could I have asked?
34038What next?
34038What now should I do?
34038What should now be done?
34038What though the forcing plan seems to have succeeded quite happily in my own case?
34038What, then, I repeat it, can these things mean?
34038What, then, let us inquire, is that meaning?
34038What, then, were the agencies employed in the air- cure?
34038What_ kind_ of puddings, pies, and cake will answer?
34038When a disease is destined by_ Nature_ to be long, do we very often materially diminish it?"
34038When life is threatened, do we very often save it?
34038When will it be fully and practically received?
34038Who has not observed the difference, amid a general conflagration, between a most perfect stillness and a blustering or windy moment?
34038Why can I not declare independence of all external remedial agents, and throw myself wholly on nature and nature''s God?
34038Why do you so strongly object to cream toasts, or cream on bread?
34038Why might not I?
34038Why must I, at the early age of twenty- eight, be doomed to tread the long road of decline and death?
34038Why not annihilate it at once?"
34038Why should it not?
34038Why this deposit of an article so doubtful?
34038Why, the whole world-- I mean the whole civilized world-- use it; and do they all have stiff knees?"
34038Why, then, did I not call on some inquiring and highly experienced physician?
34038Why, then, may not children sometimes kill their parents?
34038Why, then, should I not persevere?
34038Why, then, was it made an adjunct, and more than an adjunct, in the first promulgation of the gospel, and this, too, by the gospel''s divine Author?
34038Why, what is our object in salting down butter?
34038Why, what rational man in the world will believe that a little coffee, once a day, will entail upon a person severe rheumatism?"
34038Will a little plain sauce do with my supper?
34038Will you allow me to eat any simple thing between meals?"
34038Will you not answer me soon, and give me your opinion on this and other subjects?
34038Would it not be the part of wisdom to meet them now, rather than postpone?
34038Would it not be well for you to take charge of something or of somebody?
34038Would it not otherwise soon become acid and disagreeable?
34038Would not the prospect of doing good, rather than of giving offence, have been worth something?
34038Would not this have greatly added to the severity of the disease?
34038Would there, in the latter case, have been no hazard to the constitution?
34038Yet if they are endangered who are least predisposed to this or any other disease, where is the safety of those who inherit such a predisposition?
34038Yet what could I do in the premises?
34038Yet, in the progress of society towards a more perfect millennial state of things, must it not come?
34038and suffer you to go on sinning?"
34038do you know?"
34038for, practically, the great question was,_ cui bono_?
34038have you tried it?"
34038how can these doctors wish to starve folks?
34038is it Satan himself?
34038is it not to trifle with the most solemn considerations?
34038now go on to woe irretrievable?
34038or, are they not the heaven- appointed penalties of transgression?
34946''Oo the''ell arst yer to?
34946''Ow many dead chickens are there, Sammy?
34946A doctor?
34946Ai n''t nobody drunk?
34946And corrosive sublimate?
34946And has the Chief''s wife slept well?
34946And is not this the Chief''s hut?
34946And is the Chief''s wife pleased with the new shawl chosen by Sikoro as a gift from the Chief to his wife?
34946And that your partner had been killed and your cattle taken away?
34946And the slaves of her house, have they slept well?
34946And what''s in all these pill boxes? 34946 And why,"said Sikoro,"do you sit on the Chief''s mat?"
34946And you will yourself die to- night?
34946Any cattle dead?
34946Any luck?
34946Are n''t you a professional?
34946Are not the things in the basket yours?
34946Are not those others dead?
34946Are they not drums?
34946Are you Lizizi?
34946Are you going to build it, Morena?
34946Are you indeed the Great Doctor?
34946Are you out of your bath?
34946Are you ready to start? 34946 Are you ready?"
34946Are you sure you are on the right track?
34946Been here long?
34946But what are they all for?
34946But, Morena--"Well?
34946But,I said,"who do you expect to buy in a place like this?
34946Can a man have too much money or too many guns?
34946Can you kill people by means of charms and medicines?
34946Can you make good stemalas?
34946Certainly not, but who are the other two?
34946Certainly, but will it fit you?
34946Come far to- day?
34946Corrosive sublimate? 34946 Could I learn it?"
34946Could you build a stemala for me?
34946Did I do that?
34946Did he also tell you that the Barushu had risen?
34946Did it take you long to learn?
34946Did n''t I find him lightheaded?
34946Did they threaten to kill you?
34946Did you catch all those?
34946Did you do anything to prevent the Barushu from taking your cattle?
34946Did you see the hyena?
34946Did you see the train, Jimmy?
34946Did you send that message to the servants of the white men, saying that they were not to work?
34946Do n''t you? 34946 Do you drink it?"
34946Do you kill snakes when you see them?
34946Do you mean to say you fired the thing into the air?
34946Do you mean,pursued William,"that I am a free man?"
34946Do you think you hit him?
34946Do you? 34946 Done to it?"
34946Found anything?
34946Good, and then?
34946Good, many of them?
34946Great?
34946Had n''t he spun me some queer yarns?
34946Have another?
34946Have another?
34946Have they killed your partner?
34946Have you any nitrate of potash, doctor?
34946Have you eaten this morning?
34946Have you ever seen one?
34946Have you ever shot a lion?
34946Have you got a job?
34946Have you not given me back my life?
34946How are you this morning?
34946How could I? 34946 How did I find the old man?"
34946How did you do it?
34946How did you get through?
34946How do you do? 34946 How do you use it?"
34946How long have you been here?
34946How many go with me?
34946How many wives have you?
34946How on earth do you do it?
34946How should I know the Morena''s thoughts?
34946How should I know? 34946 How the devil do you suppose I could see to shoot in this pitch darkness?"
34946How?
34946How?
34946Hullo, Soames, what are you doing here in my patch of country?
34946Hurt? 34946 I do n''t know, why?"
34946I expect so; why?
34946I have told you that the Barushu are up, that they----Wrenshaw interrupted the man:"Did you see his dead body?"
34946I hope you have slept well?
34946I should say not, but where does he live?
34946If I receive a gift from a man, must I not give one in return? 34946 In that hole?"
34946Iodine, what''s that for?
34946Iodine? 34946 Iodine?
34946Is anyone at home?
34946Is he dead?
34946Is it a game?
34946Is it a very hard game?
34946Is not Chiromo a doctor?
34946Is not that the Chief''s new shawl?
34946Is not the stemala made of iron?
34946Is that your basket?
34946Is the fellow deaf as well as a brainless idiot?
34946Is there anything you want besides nitrate of potash?
34946Is there going to be a rising?
34946Is this the fellow who has been making the white man''s stemala?
34946It is late, what do you want?
34946It is only that I wanted to know, for has not the Morena been absent for a great many days?
34946Look''ere, you snip, wot''ave I told yer? 34946 Looking for one?"
34946Lose any cattle in the thirst country?
34946May I come, too?
34946Morena, what day is it to- day?
34946Morena, what day is it to- day?
34946Morena,he said,"what is to- day?"
34946Nanzela the Barushu?
34946No violence, I hope?
34946No, what?
34946None of these things are yours?
34946Now then, you, what do you want?
34946Of what do you accuse Chiromo?
34946Oh no,said the boy,"but what is the number of the day?"
34946Oh, it''s a servy- yet yer want, is it? 34946 Oh, so you wondered, did you?"
34946Oh, so you''re the magistrate, are you?
34946One day one said:''Are we not tired of making clothes? 34946 One more question: who told you that the Barushu had beaten the police?"
34946Pills? 34946 Poor old Rogers,"they said,"who would have thought it?
34946Right, but what are you going to do to them?
34946Rogers drunk?
34946Shall I mark out the head skin for you, Sir? 34946 So I have killed your bull for you, have I?"
34946So it seems, but what''s the matter with your hands, with your coat?
34946Sorry, are you? 34946 Stop,"said the Commissioner,"what are your plans?"
34946That do n''t matter,replied Hobday,"you two fellows take sides, I''ll do top and bottom; our partners-- well, they''re in England, do n''t you see?"
34946That is true, but if a man builds a hut as high as Heaven, is not a pole necessary?
34946The King of all the white men?
34946The Missionaries? 34946 The train''s in and nobody drunk?
34946Then Chiromo took hold of my son''s arm at the elbow and said:''Do you feel pain here?'' 34946 Then Chiromo took hold of my son''s leg just above the knee, like this, and said:''Do you feel pain here?''
34946Then Chiromo took hold of my son''s other knee and said:''Do you feel pain here?'' 34946 Then you did n''t see them kill him?"
34946Then you have some more?
34946To- morrow?
34946War drums?
34946Was n''t it?
34946Was that the messenger I saw in the compound?
34946Well, I''d better go and look out for-- what did you say his name was?
34946Well, ai n''t you goin''to get drunk on it?
34946Well, what are you going to do about it?
34946Well, what did you want me to do?
34946Well, will you sell us up?
34946Well?
34946Well?
34946What are the messages?
34946What are the news, my Chief?
34946What are the others?
34946What are you doing here?
34946What are you doing here?
34946What are you doing now, honest man?
34946What are you doing to these children?
34946What are you doing, honest man?
34946What are you drinkin'', might I ask?
34946What are you going to do?
34946What did he say?
34946What did they kill him with?
34946What did you come for?
34946What did you tell the other boys to do?
34946What did you?
34946What do you mean, the day of the month or of the week, and why do you ask?
34946What do you mean?
34946What do you think of my house, my friend?
34946What does the white man use stemalas for?
34946What for?
34946What for?
34946What for?
34946What is in the basket?
34946What is that sound?
34946What is the number of the day to- day?
34946What is their message?
34946What is this?
34946What is this?
34946What is your name?
34946What of it?
34946What of that?
34946What the devil are you doing, you damned young fool? 34946 What the devil did you let fly for?"
34946What then?
34946What was it all about?
34946What will be done with him?
34946What will he do?
34946What''s that?
34946What''s that?
34946What''s the matter with the natives?
34946What''s the matter? 34946 What''s this?"
34946What''s up?
34946What? 34946 When a man builds a small hut, is a pole from the ground to the roof necessary?"
34946Where are the cattle now?
34946Where does he live?
34946Where is Lizizi?
34946Where is he now?
34946Where is he now?
34946Where is he?
34946Where is he?
34946Where is your wife?
34946Where''s there, you fool?
34946Where? 34946 Where?"
34946Where?
34946Where?
34946Where?
34946Where?
34946Where?
34946Where?
34946Whisky or gin, sir?
34946Who accuses this man of law- breaking?
34946Who are you?
34946Who can tell?
34946Who forbids you?
34946Who is Lizizi?
34946Who is it?
34946Who is this slave?
34946Who is this who brings ivory?
34946Who the hell are you shovin''?
34946Who then will build this bridge?
34946Who was in charge of the cattle?
34946Who''s Lizizi?
34946Who''s Lizizi?
34946Why ca n''t you work to- day?
34946Why do n''t you kill the wretched rat?
34946Why do the Barushu carry their assegais in their toes to- day?
34946Why do you bring the dead man to me?
34946Why my cook?
34946Why should I? 34946 Why the hell did n''t you answer my shots?"
34946Why, indeed?
34946Why?
34946Why?
34946Will not the Missionaries prevent it?
34946Will the Great Doctor help me with medicines? 34946 Will you please ask him what this great occasion is of which he is going to sing?"
34946Will you teach me?
34946Will you tell the Commissioner?
34946With his people?
34946Wo n''t eat''em, wo n''t yer?
34946Wot, yer do n''t like''em, do n''t yer?
34946Would you like to hear some African music, Sir?
34946Yer wo n''t?
34946Yes, and you?
34946Yes, why not? 34946 Yes,"said Warner vaguely,"but who are you?"
34946Yes; can you give me some clean kit?
34946You have worked for a white man?
34946You hit a bull?
34946You mean you have a sore throat?
34946You see this?
34946You want some medicine for it?
34946You wo n''t give me away?
34946You wo n''t tell the other two?
34946You wo n''t work to- day?
34946Your shots?
34946Your what?
34946''Ave some bully?"
34946''Ow many died yesterday and''ow many did yer find dead this mornin''?"
34946Addressing Chiromo, the official asked:"Is it true that you are the killer of people?"
34946All things being equal in sport, and rank apart, and as man to man, to whom belonged the skin?
34946Almost the first question she asked was:"Oh, have you any tobacco?
34946Am I to be shamed?
34946And had not the case- bearer of yesterday said:"Chiromo has the skin of a black tsipa?"
34946And supposing they did wipe him out, what then?
34946And the third thing?
34946And what do you use chlorodyne for?"
34946And what is in this funny little box marked''Sovereign Remedy''?"
34946And what''s nitrate of potash for?"
34946And where''s my plug?"
34946And why not two hundred and fifty right arms and two hundred and fifty left; or why not all right or all left?
34946And you?"
34946Any you can spare, I mean?"
34946At length Warner asked the question point blank:"How is your wife?"
34946Before William could explain that he did n''t drink, the barman said:"I know his poison, do n''t I, Bill?"
34946But Black?
34946But did she care?
34946But how could an ex- ink- slinger be expected to have any horse- sense to do anything requiring a glimmer of intelligence?
34946But what are these to a life?"
34946But what do black people know or care about qualifications?
34946But what of the man?
34946But why do you ask?"
34946Can a man smile who is in pain?
34946Coming across to my table, he winked heavily, and said in a hoarse stage- whisper:"P''raps you''ve''eard a bloke say that afore?"
34946Corrosive sublimate?
34946Could I mend a shot- gun?
34946Could it mean anything of importance and, if so, what?
34946Did I bury Mobita?
34946Did I not take the thundering smoke from a certain person?
34946Did he not give medicine to all who asked for it, no matter what the disease might be?
34946Did he not hate this woman for her overbearing pride?
34946Did n''t you recognise me at once?"
34946Did n''t you see the train come in to- day?"
34946Did not some of those to whom he gave medicine recover?
34946Did not the doctors know it, and had they not all moved to a safer place?
34946Did she care enough to make her home with him in this rough country?
34946Did you hear that?"
34946Do n''t we, Black?"
34946Do not the people say so?
34946Do you hear, woman?
34946Do you know Hobday?
34946Do you not like the things my people use?
34946Do you play?"
34946Do you remember our last dance?
34946Does he not jump into the river and come out alive on the third day?"
34946Does he not make all men well?
34946Does not a smile mean pleasure?
34946Entering the tent Wrenshaw asked:"What''s your name?"
34946Ever seen a ruby?
34946Fish?
34946Five hundred wretched monkeys-- and what for?
34946For many a day the natives of Kazungula commanded a ready audience anywhere in the country, for had not they, and they alone, seen white men at play?
34946Gone to lunch, eh?"
34946Good Heavens, what was the matter with that bull?
34946Good man; so he had caught some that very evening?
34946Had I a drop of good Scotch?
34946Had he ever asked anyone for payment?
34946Had he seen a lion?
34946Had n''t he talked of that kind of thing?"
34946Had not his trusted servant declared that the egg had cost sixpence?
34946Had not she and Miyobo fooled him more than once, and had it not been the merest chance which had delivered them into his hand?
34946Had not the doctor killed the boy in a strange way?
34946Had she seen any?
34946Had the driver seen the lion?
34946Have I not killed many in battle?
34946Have you had warning of it?"
34946He presently became aware that there was something strange about them; what was it?
34946He referred to his feet as,"My goot luck, is n''t it?"
34946He said:"Are you the magistrate of these parts?"
34946He simply said:"Can either of you gentlemen fix this up for me?"
34946He stopped and, addressing the old, old man, said:"What are you doing here?"
34946He thought the old man had been saying"How do you do?"
34946How do you know he''s dead?"
34946How many men in a thousand had heard native African music?
34946How many?
34946How should he end it?
34946In the meantime, what about the ravages of the white ant?
34946Is it against the law for the Chief''s slave to hunt elephants for the Chief?"
34946Is it not the custom that a gift shall be received with a gift?
34946Is n''t that so, Black?"
34946Is that you, Exchange?
34946Is the thing a ghost?
34946It was late, nearly eight o''clock; what the deuce were his people about?
34946Mine''s a gin and tonic; what''s the boy goin''to drink?"
34946Mr. Williams, was this bull hit before I killed him?"
34946Nitrate of potash?
34946No answer from Mr. Barble?
34946No doubt the sport which he had planned to provide would be excellent, but what about the evenings spent round the camp fire after dinner?
34946No witch doctor could practise for long in his district, for was not his medicine stronger than that of any witch doctor?
34946No, not out of a ring?
34946Now what did I think they should pay him for showing them where the ruby mine was?
34946Now why is it, I wonder, that old men ca n''t come quickly to the point?
34946Pills?"
34946Plenty he wanted to say, but what more could he say?
34946Pointing to the bangles on the woman''s arm, Sikoro asked:"What are you doing with the Chief''s ivory?"
34946Private Hay, if awake, said nothing, whilst his companion in arms muttered:"What''s up?"
34946Shall I shoot?"
34946Soup, fish, chickens, the cold pig''s head and a hot plum pudding; what more could two men want?
34946Stalking him, were they?
34946Suddenly Lindsay said:"Why should n''t we have a dance?
34946Surely a big bull accompanied such a herd of cows?
34946Surely the fool was n''t going to die?
34946Tell them?
34946The Chief addressed Moyo:"Tell me, old man, what mischief was in your heart when last you left my village?"
34946The Commissioner, who was a good linguist, addressed the seated man direct:"So you have killed a man?"
34946The dogs began to bark loudly but it did n''t matter now: was he not a stranger travelling from Sijoba to Katora?
34946The end?
34946The making of this very primitive out- station occupied less than a couple of days, and then the question,"What the devil shall we do now?"
34946The question"Have another?"
34946The simple people became impatient to pay their tax; was not the white man also playing this new game?
34946Then there was the half- caste at the fire; well, after all, what could two men do against so many?
34946Then to Rogers,"What about your drink?"
34946Then----"What will you bet?"
34946They build this bridge from the north bank and from the south, but where is the pole to hold up the roof of the bridge?"
34946They do not know and may not know for many days, and anyhow, what could they do?"
34946To all Mkuni held forth:"Am not I an old man now?
34946Turning to his companion, he said:"You''d like a hot bath, would n''t you?"
34946Upset Rogers''drink, have you?
34946Was he communicating in some strange way with the absent Commissioner?
34946Was he making medicine with which to harm the people?
34946Was n''t Warner always accessible?
34946We both said we could, and both asked:"But what about the lioness?"
34946Well, I could n''t help him in the matter of the gun, so what was the next thing?
34946Well, is n''t this the very first train to get here from the South?"
34946What could it all mean?
34946What could the mystery be?
34946What did it mean?
34946What do you want it for?"
34946What does it matter how many people I have; does not the Government want money, and is it not right that I should give all I have to the Government?"
34946What else was there?
34946What have I, a very poor man, of value equal to the life which the Doctor has given back to me?
34946What is there?"
34946What more was there to say?
34946What on earth have you done to the thing?"
34946What sport had the Commissioner had?
34946What was the trap?
34946What was there for dinner?
34946What would not that great traveller and hunter, Gordon Cumming, have given for what amounts to a portable soda- water factory?
34946What would they say to the Commissioner on his return?
34946What, then, shall I give to the Great Doctor?
34946What?
34946When?"
34946Where the devil had that sovereign gone to?
34946Where the devil is he?
34946Where was the bull?
34946Where''s the brush?"
34946Who accused this man?"
34946Who are you to speak of fighting?
34946Who can say what fair forms and faces they saw there?
34946Who goes there?"
34946Who had left his beat and jumped their claim?
34946Who is Mobita?
34946Who then knows so much of the building of bridges as I?"
34946Who was this poaching?
34946Who, then, could have done this killing by witchcraft?
34946Who, then, was the intruder?
34946Why not a pill?
34946Why not write to her?
34946Why not?"
34946Why on earth did Randall collect monkeys?
34946Why run unnecessary risk?
34946Why, then, are you afraid?"
34946Why?"
34946Will not the Great Doctor kill this sickness?
34946Will you have a sparklet with it or do you prefer water?"
34946Will you have water or a sparklet with your gin?"
34946William blinked at Joe during this harangue, and then quietly asked:"Do I understand you to mean, Joe, that I''m sacked?"
34946Wo n''t you have one?"
34946Wo n''t you have some supper?"
34946Wot''ave I kep''on tellin''yer?
34946Would a couple of hundred be a fair thing?
34946Would she care?
34946Would the darned things never come?
34946Would the man never come out?
34946Wrenshaw got some paper and an indelible pencil and began: MY FRIEND... At this he stuck for a long time; what on earth could he write about?
34946Yes, it was"Da- wi- ni"; was not that the hole in his beak which the angry greyhound made?
34946Yes, this surely was Chiromo; did he not wear, suspended from a string round his waist, the skin of a black tsipa cat?
34946You do n''t drink and you wo n''t take good money?"
34946You do n''t mean to say that you fired the thing off with the plug in it?"
34946You know where the Gwai River runs into the Zambesi?"
34946You say they have taken your cattle; how many?"
34946You''ll want to keep this head?"
34946asked Gonye, and added--"May I come in?"
34946where is that lion?
15667''Going to leave?'' 15667 ''What for?''
15667''With what hand did you do it?'' 15667 A beggar woman whined at the window:"''Could ye give me a trifle for a cup of coffee, lady?''
15667A purty good- sized one, is it, Bud?
15667A wish?
15667After thinking it over for twelve months,said Kitchener,"you still wish to marry?"
15667Ai n''t what nice?
15667All the people in the bank?
15667An elopement, eh? 15667 And did you actually go to Rome?"
15667And how did it turn out?
15667And how old is your little boy, madam, please?
15667And now does n''t he threaten to split your head with an ax?
15667And what is the name of your country?
15667And what made you think he was intoxicated?
15667And what,he asked, having spent a whole afternoon changing the goldfishes''water,"shall I do now, sir?"
15667And where did you hide it?
15667And which is the foreman?
15667And who, monsieur,he queried in a tender tone,"shall I have the misery of announcing?"
15667And you lost the cat all right?
15667And you want to get married again, with your wife only two months dead?
15667And you would rather talk to a gentleman?
15667And,queried a cynical member of the group,"shall we mention the name of the trust?"
15667Anything going on here to- night?
15667Are you going away?
15667At ony rate ye''ll be a frien''o''the corp?
15667Bigger than General Grant?
15667Bigger than God?
15667Bigger than President Wilson?
15667Bill,said the younger brother, breaking a painful silence,"why ca n''t you leave things that you do n''t understand to me?
15667But I''m not one, am I?
15667But did they not belong to some bird?
15667But do n''t you think he was a little weak around the lamp- posts?
15667But how do you know one is an officer at this distance?
15667But it is broken?
15667But suppose,suggested the thirsty passenger,"that the train should go on without me?"
15667But when do you do your literary work?
15667But you do n''t expect to get it, do you?
15667But, Mollie,she demanded,"do n''t you trust him?"
15667But, Mr. Reynolds, suppose there should be no waiters and cab drivers at the conference?
15667But, Sandy, man,objected the host,"ye''re not goin''yet, with the evenin''just started?"
15667By the way,said the chief life- saver,"can you swim?"
15667Caddy,he said, addressing the silent youth who stood alongside,"that was awful, was n''t it?"
15667Columbus did n''t do such a wonderful thing, after all, when he found this country, did he, now, sir? 15667 Could n''t you go back and come from somewhere else?"
15667Could you be President?
15667Could you not have settled your differences by a peaceful discussion of the matter, calling in the assistance of unprejudiced opinion, if need be?
15667Did I not tell you not to leave your post?
15667Did he run?
15667Did he take them back?
15667Did n''t we say that after your wedding tour you would make your home at the Old Manse?
15667Did you ever see a worse player than I am?
15667Dis heyah registrashum fo''de draf''am a whole lot like''lection votin'', ai n''t it?
15667Do I know what?
15667Do n''t you enjoy your meals?
15667Do n''t you know I''m a''painless dentist''?
15667Do they ever take you when you cry like that?
15667Do you know Archie Sloan''s neck?
15667Do you like Omar Khayyam?
15667Do you like it?
15667Do you mean it?
15667Do you really believe,he asked her,"that there is no salvation outside of the Roman Catholic Church?"
15667Do you think so? 15667 Do you think that I am going to let any foreigner lick me?"
15667Do you want oysters, Louise?
15667Do you wish me to read it first, sir?
15667Enjoy my meals?
15667Even if I am a liar I guess I''ve got a right to be sensitive about it, ai n''t I?
15667Fadder,he asked,"is marriage a failure?"
15667Father,asked Prince Edward, placing his finger on the Colonel''s picture,"Mr. Roosevelt is a very clever man, is n''t he?"
15667Gifted?
15667Go South, eh? 15667 Has any one seen my b- b- blanket?"
15667Has any one seen my t- t- trousers?
15667Has he had his hair cut?
15667Has n''t he choked you into insensibility?
15667Has n''t he dragged you the length of the room by your hair?
15667Have n''t I a perfect right?
15667Have you ever tried gargling it with salt and water?
15667Have you had any nourishment?
15667He cain''t-- yo''says he cain''t work?
15667Hi, there, who are you?
15667Hold- all?
15667How about Macaulay, the greatest essayist in England, and Homer, the prince of ancient poets, with seven birthplaces? 15667 How about the cavalry?"
15667How can that be,continued the storekeeper,"when it was cured only last week?"
15667How could you expect me to have any respect for a man who could not succeed in preventing me from doing the things I did?
15667How dare you, sir, abuse our hospitality?
15667How did you know what was the matter with me?
15667How do you manage to get it all in?
15667How goes it?
15667How is it,she snapped,"that you''re so unlucky at the races, and yet you always win at cards?"
15667How many are there?
15667How much do I owe you?
15667How much does it cost now?
15667How much money do you want?
15667How''s yours?
15667I presume you carry a memento of some kind in that locket you wear?
15667I suppose you have such a thing?
15667I suppose,said Mr. Root,"you speak French?"
15667If my learned friend, counsel for the defence, and myself were to bang our heads together, would he get concussion of the brain?
15667If you should see an armed party approaching, what would you do?
15667Is he going to stay?
15667Is n''t he gifted in any way?
15667Is that true?
15667Is the young lady your sister?
15667Is this a good one?
15667Is your husband in?
15667It did n''t hurt as much as you expected it would, did it?
15667It''s only half- past eight now, and John never did show up till about three A.M.WHY NOT?
15667John,said Dickson,"you enjoyed it?"
15667John,she said to the manservant,"can you find out without asking the cook whether the tinned salmon was all eaten last night?
15667Joseph, where are you?
15667Just so, Winterbottom, just so,said the treasurer, and he cleared his throat and added:"Both treated well, I hope?"
15667Kind sir,he suddenly exclaimed,"will you not give me a loaf of bread for my wife and little ones?"
15667Married? 15667 Mary,"he said to the Irish waitress at the hotel where he was stopping,"you''ve been in this country how long?"
15667Mommer,he panted,"do you know Archie Sloan''s neck?"
15667My dear sir, what more do you want?
15667Naw, sah, naw, sah, you ai n''t one; but s''pose somebody''d call you de kind o''rascal you_ is_, what''d you do?
15667Nay, nay, Andy,answered the good spouse;"I couldna''marry anither man, fer whit wull I daw wi''twa husbands in heaven?"
15667No, I''m no''a brither o''the corp."Weel, ye''ll be his cousin?
15667No, what was it?
15667Not a fast liver, or anything of that sort?
15667Not a word had passed between us for more than a week, and that night when we rolled up in our blankets he suddenly asked:''Hear that cow beller?''
15667Not at all"Possibly you did?
15667Nothing else?
15667Now, then,continued the teacher when Jimmy had returned to his place,"can you find a better form for that sentence?"
15667Oh, Mr. Dunne,she twittered,"how did you enjoy the madame''s dancing?"
15667Oh, she broke it?
15667Please, ma''am,Edgar piped out,"do you want us to draw a hen or a rooster?"
15667Pleathe, thir,lisped the latest graduate from the infant class,"where ith the flea?"
15667Razor?
15667Really?
15667Remember the laughing hyena?
15667Run?
15667Say, conductor,he whispered, hoarsely,"did that man I was talking to get off at the last station?"
15667Sick, eh?
15667Stranger in the town, sir?
15667Tell me, Number One,he said,"how many men are there in that trench- digging party over there?"
15667The camel, eh? 15667 The old gentleman was very dear to you?"
15667Then how do you know his funeral is going to take place on Friday?
15667Then would you mind telling me who it was?
15667Then, mother,said the boy,"why ca n''t I keep that ten cents a week you gimme for the Sunday- school collection?
15667This very mornin'',said he,"she asked me:''Lysander, do you know how many pancakes you have et this mornin''?''
15667Tompkins,he whispered,"is it trembling you are for your dirty skin?"
15667Toothbrush?
15667Twelve o''clock, eh?
15667Was it you I kissed in the conservatory last night?
15667Water''s all on the outside-- can''t none get in nohow?
15667We did n''t do a thing to you Germans, did we? 15667 Well, Aunt Mary, how did you spend this afternoon?"
15667Well, Mose, what branch of the service would you like to be placed in?
15667Well, Rena?
15667Well, are n''t you?
15667Well, did Cousin Nick have anything to do with it?
15667Well, did n''t he do you any good?
15667Well, do n''t you know? 15667 Well, now,"said Ian Hay,"is n''t that provoking?
15667Well, then, what is going to become of me?
15667Well, what impressed you most?
15667Well, why not?
15667Well, you are one, are n''t you?
15667Well, you do n''t seem to be dead; what are you doing around here?
15667Well,countered Mr. Wu,"why do you wear your foolish moustache?"
15667Well,said the dentist,"how can I tell when he''s unconscious?"
15667What are you beating up that Hun for?
15667What are you doing with all that paper, Henry?
15667What are you making such a noise for?
15667What collateral have you to offer?
15667What did you have?
15667What did you like the most?
15667What do you mean by making a silly blunder like that?
15667What do you mean?
15667What do you pay him?
15667What do you say?
15667What for?
15667What have you done?
15667What have you got to say to that?
15667What in the world are you doing out there?
15667What inducements do you offer?

15667What is the meaning of this?
15667What is your business?
15667What seems to be the trouble?
15667What shall we say of the former senator?
15667What size?

15667What''s the matter with the cavalry, Mose?
15667What''s the matter with you boys, anyway? 15667 What''s the matter, little man?"
15667What''s the matter? 15667 What''s the matter?"
15667What''s the matter?
15667What''s the matter?
15667What''s yer bill o''fare?
15667What, on the sofy?
15667What?
15667When did you do it?
15667When did your uncle die?
15667When the Queen of Sheba came and laid jewels and fine raiment before Solomon, what did he say?
15667When''s the bloomin''war goin''to end?
15667Where are you going, my dear?
15667Where did you find the prisoner?
15667Where did your watch come from?
15667Where''s Hodge''s windmill?
15667Where''s my umbrella?
15667Where''s the boss?

15667Why on earth do n''t you set a trap, Betsey?
15667Why return it? 15667 Why, Brudder Jones, do n''t yo''want yo''sins washed away?"
15667Why, Dora,cried the stage manager,"where in the world are all your decorations?
15667Why, where are you going?
15667Why?
15667Why?
15667Why?
15667William,said he,"of what are you thinking?"
15667Willie,asked mother,"is that horrid boy making faces at you?"

15667After the old gentleman left the two sons came in and said:"Senator, are you fond of livestock?"
15667After the usual preliminaries the judge inquired:"Why did you hit this man?"
15667And may I ask who is that little man, with the dreadfully sad countenance, walking by the old lady''s side?"

38752Swallowed benzine, did she? 38752 That long drive?"
38752The baby''s better, is n''t it?
38752The doctor has n''t come yet?
38752The doctor,said the old man meditatively, as if wondering that anybody should be calling for him--"the doctor-- you mean Dr. Blank, I reckon?"
38752Then how could she run it into the ground?
38752Then it was all right?
38752Then what in thunder did you send for me for?
38752They wo n''t? 38752 They''re going to make day hideous and night lamented, are n''t they?"
38752This is Mrs. Blank is it not?
38752This is his--"Hello, what is it?

38752Well, you''ll go, wo n''t you? 38752 Well-- if he gets through teething-- don''t you think he''ll be all right?"

38752Why did n''t you call me, John, instead of standing there and scaring me to death?

38752Why do you do that?
38752Why do you suppose they walk instead of riding?
38752Why have n''t you let me know about this baby''s eyes?

38752Would n''t you like to go to the country?
38752Would you give her any aromatic spirits of ammonia?
38752Yes, what is it John?
38752Yes..... Who is this?.... 38752 Yes?"
38752You are at the office then? 38752 You did?
38752You do n''t do it, do you?
38752You do n''t think it will hurt me then?
38752You got Mrs. Dorlan''s message did you?
38752You have to go some place, do you?
38752You make all the babies''dresses, do n''t you?
38752You slice the onions and put sugar on them, do n''t you?
38752You think he would?
38752You''ll never, never tell if I do?
38752You''re the doctor''s wife, ai n''t ye?
38752Your harness is broken, have you got a string?
38752_ Another_ patient? 38752 _ This_ is Dr. Blank''s office?"
38752_ Well_, when will he be back?
38752_ Where do you live!_"_ Where do you live?_"Well maybe it does. 38752 _ Where do you live?_""We live on Oak street."
38752''Mary,''he said in a helpless sort of way,''It struck_ seven_--what_ time_ is it?''
38752''s compliment?"
38752A giggle and a loud girlish voice in his ear asking,"Is this you, Nettie?"
38752A lady''s voice was asking,"Who_ is_ this?"
38752A quart?"
38752A solemn voice asked,"Have you made your will?"
38752A spirited dialogue was taking place between a young man and a maid:"Where_ are_ you, Jack?"
38752A subdued voice asked,"What are you going to do now, Doctor?"
38752About two o''clock there came a tragic pounding at the door and when the doctor went to open it a voice asked,"What''s the matter down here?"
38752After some time Mary was awakened by her husband''s voice asking,"What is it?"
38752And did n''t I hear you commanding Jack just the other day to take the hoe right out of the house and to go out the same door he came in?"
38752And give her a spoonful of mustard-- anything to produce vomiting...... She has?
38752And if, after waiting, he still failed to find the doctor?
38752And not give him anything at all?
38752And when at last he came her lips could hardly frame the question,"How is he, John?"
38752Another little laugh,"You do n''t think it would?"
38752Are you doing it?
38752As he passed out the doctor stopped to inquire,"How''s that sore breast?
38752As his wife went back to the kitchen her daughter called,"Mother, did you take the loaf of bread in there with you?"
38752As they drove off she asked,"You came pretty near catching a tartar, did n''t you?"
38752Blank''s?"
38752Blank''s?"
38752Blank''s?"
38752Blank, do n''t you think red is God''s favorite color?''
38752Blank, do you know who the Hammell''s are?''
38752Blank, will you do me a great favor?''
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Blank?"
38752Brownson?"
38752Brownson?"
38752But I am very thirsty, might I have a glass of water?"
38752But are good things about me so rare that you made a note of it?"
38752But it was the voice of a friend and it surprised Mary with this question:"Mrs. Blank, if you were me would you have your daughter operated upon?"
38752But what could she tell her?
38752But what makes you think it is red?''
38752But what would be the use?
38752But you might push a little on the brandy, or the strychnine-- how much brandy have you given her since I saw her?"
38752By the way, Mr. Nelson, will you just''phone the doctor at the office, please?
38752Can I begin giving him a little more today?
38752Can he have some ice- cream for dinner?
38752Can we move Henry out into the yard?
38752Can we move Jennie into the house?
38752Can you come up to my house right away?"
38752Can you find out who it was?"
38752Can you get him awake?"
38752Come where?....
38752Could n''t you have taken the tent farther out?"
38752Curtis?"
38752Did she hear footsteps down the walk?
38752Do n''t you know I have the reputation of being the meanest man in the county?"
38752Do n''t you want to see how much she''s growed?"
38752Do you remember me?"
38752Do you remember that drive we took a week or two ago up north?"
38752Do you suppose it''s a felon?....
38752Do you think I''d choose a day like this for a pleasure trip?"
38752Do you think it would help my aunt?"
38752Do you think she wo n''t have any more?"
38752Do you think we will need any more?....
38752Do you understand?"
38752Do you want to wait that long?"
38752Do you_ have_ to?"
38752Doctor, will it hurt Jennie to eat some tomatoes this morning-- she craves them so?
38752Doctor, you know those pink tablets you left?
38752Dorlan''s?"
38752Down near Dyre''s?
38752Father, mother and baby all doing well?"
38752Felton?"
38752For an instant the doctor did not speak; then he asked,"Are you sure that this is true?"
38752Going, one morning, to speak to a friend about some little matter she heard her husband say:"What is it, doctor?"
38752Going, one morning, to speak to a"Doctor, will it hurt the baby to bathe it every morning?"
38752Had an occasion arisen now?
38752Had some wild beast escaped from a passing menagerie and was it coming in to devour the household?
38752Haig?"
38752He curved one hand around his ear and said again,"Hey?"
38752He rang and put the receiver to his ear:"Did you put your washin''out today?"
38752He takes it down and hears a voice say leisurely,"D''ye get them?"
38752Her companion looked at her and said,"Hey?"
38752How are they to know?
38752How did you_ do_ it?"
38752How do you make it?"
38752How does it happen I get the house?"
38752How long will that morphine last?"
38752How long will you be in the office this morning, Doctor?......
38752How many people do you know who want to see the new moon over the left shoulder?
38752How much?...
38752How old is he?"
38752How soon do you think he will be back?"
38752How would you like a star- light drive?"
38752How''s the doctor?"
38752Huntley?"
38752I am young and you are growing old, Doctor, but will you take this word from me?
38752I say on which side of Wilson''s mill?....
38752I suppose I can disconnect it but--""But you do n''t see how you can?
38752I''ve been giving her digitalis; what do you think about that?"
38752I''ve been"Doctor, will it hurt the baby to bathe it every morning?
38752I''ve been"Likes to see it''s mamma?"
38752If a woman has n''t a right to a night''s sleep once in awhile what_ is_ she entitled to?"
38752If red is his favorite color why should he put it where it ca n''t be seen?''
38752In a minute a voice said,"What is it?"
38752In a minute he exclaimed,"Say, Mary, what was the rest of that story?"
38752In what way?"
38752Is it a boy or a girl added to the world today?"
38752Is n''t she pretty?"
38752Is she suffering much?....
38752Is that all right?"
38752Is there a''phone there?"
38752Is there anyone here to do it?"
38752It was Fanny, and he settled back on one elbow and asked,"What you doing, Fanny?"
38752It was a woman''s voice asking,"How much of that gargle must I use at a time?"
38752It''s a hurry call, is it?
38752Lemonade wo n''t hurt Helen, will it?
38752Mary listened with interest to what was to come:"?"
38752Mary, from the living room, heard her husband''s voice:"What is it?"
38752Milton?"
38752Mrs. Dorlan''s on Brownson street, will you remember it?"
38752Now what is it?"
38752Of what was he thinking?
38752On which side?
38752Parkin?"
38752Presently he said,"Mr. Stirling, will you come here a minute?"
38752Richards?"
38752Right next to Wilson''s mill?....
38752See how many there are?"
38752Shall she speak?
38752She heard the same voice ask,"Is this you, Doctor?"
38752She hurried out to the porch,"Is n''t papa here?"
38752She went to the''phone, expecting to hear a querulous woman''s voice asking,"Has the doctor started yet?"
38752She would take down the receiver and ask,"What is it?"
38752She''s going to sleep..... Well, I guess she_ ca n''t_ see very well with her eyes shut..... Then you wo n''t come down?....
38752Shortridge?"
38752Should she step out doors where the cherry tree would not be in the way?
38752Should she take it for granted?
38752Soon the same voice says,"Are you there yet, Doctor?"
38752Tell her to put her finger down her throat and vomit some more..... No, I think it wo n''t be necessary for me to come down..... You would?
38752Ten, you say?
38752The doctor answered solemnly,"The baby''s fat and healthy is n''t it?"
38752The doctor came out, and the little boy looking up at him asked,"Is they any more babies down in the woods?"
38752The doctor turned to go then paused to ask,"How''s the baby?"
38752The old, old question:"Is the doctor there?"
38752The other two began,"Yes,""Well,""What is it?"
38752The pleasant voice spoke again,"This is Dr. Blank, is it?"
38752The voice went on,"Mrs. Blank, could n''t you just speak to the druggist about it so I could get it right away?"
38752Then she asked,"Is there a''phone at Mr. William Huntley''s?"
38752There came into his mind the image of Mary as she had asked so earnestly,"How are they to know?
38752They did n''t?
38752Torren''s?"
38752Twitchell''s?"
38752Very pleasantly, almost apologetically she asks,"What is it?"
38752Was he going to reprimand her?
38752Was n''t it?
38752Well, where is the_ doctor_?"
38752West?
38752What does it mean?"
38752What had I better do with this Polish girl''s hand?"
38752What had happened at home?
38752What have you been doing to prevent it?"
38752What in h- ll did you cut us off for?"
38752What is it?"
38752What is it?"
38752What is it?....
38752What kind is this?"
38752What must I do with it?"
38752What''s a wife for?
38752What''s the matter?"
38752What''s wanted?"
38752What_ you_ doing?"
38752When I opened the door he asked as he always does,''Any laundry?''"
38752When he came home Mary asked,"Did you stop the leak?"
38752When he gets off, will you please tell him?"
38752When he got the number and asked,"Is this you, Fanny?"
38752When the young girl entered the room her mother said,"Gertrude, you answered the''phone awhile ago, did n''t you?"
38752When they were in the buggy again Mary said,"But what if the baby goes blind after all?
38752Where can the boys have got to?
38752Where do you live?"
38752Where is it?"
38752Where is she?
38752Where was he to go?"
38752Where were you then?"
38752Where''s the doctor?"
38752Where''s the doctor?"
38752Where''s the doctor?"
38752While the light was being brought he asked,"Did this inflammation begin when the baby was about three days old?"
38752Who is to blame for the blindness in the first place?
38752Who is to tell them?
38752Who is to tell them?"
38752Who was calling Dr. Blank a while ago?"
38752Who''s sick out there?"
38752Who''s sick out there?"
38752Who''s?"
38752Who_ did_ tell ye?"
38752Whose sick out there?"
38752Why did n''t you find out?"
38752Why did n''t you have central''phone you at Smith''s if Hanson called and save me all that bother?"
38752Why did n''t you holler before?"
38752Why, Tom, you''re not_ sick_, are you-- huh?"
38752Will he be back soon?"
38752Will you be right out?
38752Will you be right out?"
38752Will you be right out?"
38752Will you be there when he comes?"
38752Will you come down?"
38752Will you excuse me just an instant till I see what is wanted?"
38752Will you tell him that?"
38752Wo n''t you please see that someone goes down at once?"
38752Would it be too much trouble for you to step into Hall''s and ask them to send me up a quart of ice- cream for dinner?"
38752Would it turn at the corner and come up toward their house?
38752Would she still be waiting?
38752Would you give her any more morphine?"
38752Yes, I know where that is..... Galliver-- that''s the name is it?
38752You can tell better when you see it?....
38752You live not far from Thomas Calhoun''s, do you not?"
38752You say he''ll be back in half an hour?"
38752You say it wo n''t?....
38752_ Not_ Smith''s?....
38752exclaimed James Curtis,"have you been floundering around all this time in these woods so close to the house?
38752hain''t he got there yet--?"
38752is n''t she lovely, John?"
38752is_ he_ there?
38752she said impatiently,"I''m_ very_ sorry to have to answer you again but--""Is the doctor there?"
38752what will she think?"
38752you rascal,"the doctor called, as he passed,"why did n''t you go all the way with her?"
41595''An''this big wheel, what''s this fur?'' 41595 ''An''who''ll yeze like to see, sure?''
41595''And did n''t you think it was very cruel in them to leave you there to suffer so long?'' 41595 ''And the big black one; who did that come out of?''
41595''And the twins?'' 41595 ''And were you among those poor boys who were left lying where you fell, that bitter cold morning, till you froze fast to the ground?''
41595''Are n''t you Charley----?'' 41595 ''Are you-- that is, do you play rapidly, and at sight?''
41595''Be you the engineer what runs the machine?'' 41595 ''But when it was taken, you were in too great agony to know or care for it?''
41595''But,''I said,''do you not adjust your dress in this way on purpose to give us a chance to look?'' 41595 ''Did the cat''s hair grow?''
41595''Did you count the eggs, Sammy, and get an odd number?'' 41595 ''Fixed the nest up all nice, Sammy?''
41595''Hallo, sir,''growled the schoolmaster( Squeers),''what''s that?'' 41595 ''How many eggs did you set her on, Sammy, dear?''
41595''Indeed, sir? 41595 ''Not beautiful, am I?''
41595''Now, Charley, what brought you back? 41595 ''O, sneezed, did you?''
41595''Then shall I apply some leeches?'' 41595 ''Well, sir, what do you know about the science of medicine?''
41595''Well, sir,''continued the first,''what would you do if during an action a man was brought to you with both arms and legs shot off? 41595 ''Well, why the d----l do n''t you go?''
41595''What hopes, good doctor?'' 41595 ''What is this you have on it?''
41595''What is your mode of treatment, or what school do you represent?'' 41595 ''What shall I do to prevent its falling out?''
41595''What shall I do? 41595 ''What you call that place you''re in?''
41595''What? 41595 ''Where do you live, and what is your name, sir?''
41595''Who?'' 41595 ''Why not?''
41595''Why should he be cupped?'' 41595 ''You want a piano player?''
41595''_ Why_ should you desire to bleed him?'' 41595 A dead man?"
41595A newspaper man?
41595AN''WHO''LL YEZE LIKE TO SEE, SURE?
41595Ai n''t she an angel?
41595And is it two dollars for the snap of a job likes to that, noo, ye''ll be axin''a poor man?
41595And what do you think was the effect of putting cold water into a man''s stomach, under these circumstances?
41595And where will you try your luck next?
41595And who was Anglicus Ponto?
41595And why should any truth be counted as treasonable?
41595And wo n''t he die, if we follow this strange prescription?
41595Anything to eat in that pantry?
41595Are not physicians and apothecaries sometimes owners of patent medicines?
41595Are they not all found?
41595Are you drunk, or sober, doctor?
41595Are you drunk, or sober?
41595Are you not very cold, in those thin clothes?
