6628Why does''nt the President come to see me?
6628Why had not the renowned and artistic Isaacs been sent for from New York?
6628Would they probably die game, or grow weak- kneed in the last extremity?

6628As the two horsemen started to go off, Booth cried out to Lloyd:"Do you want to hear some news?"
6628Do n''t you think so?
6628Do you know any forehead so broad which means so little?
6628Have you ever noticed how a stick in one''s hand will change his appearance?
6628If he expected so much for capturing the President merely, what of our execration at slaying him?
6628Is an execution, then, so great a warning to evil- doers, that men will commit forgery to see it?
6628She was of the medium height, and modest-- as what woman would not be under such searching survey?
6628Then fly,--what from myself?

6628You have seen these fishing poles that fit into a cane?
6628there is none else by: Is there a murderer here?
6628what am I?"
60460And Daimya?
60460And join the revolutionaries?
60460And yet they say the Federation is a republic? 60460 Are they completely dependable?"
60460Dad?
60460Did you expect they exempted us all from our taxes as a reward?
60460Enough to live on?
60460How many can you get me that will obey me without question, no matter what?
60460How many do you know who have died in Debtor''s camps, or died because they could not work hard enough? 60460 How many men can I depend on?"
60460How many men have you killed in that job?
60460If it is not, all the sacrifices are for nothing, you understand that? 60460 Perhaps by then--""You really believe you''re going to succeed in overthrowing the Federation, do n''t you?"
60460Respect him? 60460 What about Daimya?"

60460You understand-- a man and his daughter-- you understand?
60460You would take her?
60460And if the revolution succeeds eventually, how can we know the Federation will not be replaced by the same thing under another name?"
60460And what does the administration consist of?
60460And what might you be hunting, Mr.--Gray?"
60460But is there no other way than murder and assassination?

60460Did he know the shuttle that had brought him had been lost?
60460Do you know what happens to the money you pay the Terran Federation in taxes?"
60460Explosive?
60460Gray?"
60460No?
60460That''s all._"Tell me,"Daimya said curiously,"how do you come to be mixed up in a thing like this?
60460This violence-- what can come of it?
60460What is it?
60460When the citizen does not dare ask what happens to the taxes that are ground out of him?
60460_ Can I be responsible for that?_"They do n''t like Colonists cooperating with the revolutionaries,"Carroll continued.
60460_ Can that be forgiven?
32134Are you nervous?
32134Did n''t they explain all of that to you in High Falls?
32134Does n''t it seem peculiar to you that, purely by co- incidence, Ellaby happened to meet these people?
32134So we''ve pavloved him for ten years, have we?
32134Tell me, Ellaby, did you ever hear your own voice?
32134Then you were n''t cleared for top secret?
32134Then--"But you''ve never known a man to refuse answering a question asked of him officially, have you?
32134What did you do that for?
32134What kind of job will I get?
32134What''s your job?
32134Why, Ellaby?
32134Why?
32134Will you agree to answer my question?
32134You did n''t tell them?
32134You think I''m the Dictator? 32134 ***** Later, Dorcas Sinclair asked:What else happened at testing, Ellaby?"
32134A new order based not on modality but something else?
32134And after that-- what?
32134Chaos?
32134Did the sound of their own voices drive them mad?
32134Do n''t you remember?
32134Do n''t you see, Sinclair?
32134Do n''t you understand, Sinclair?
32134Ellaby, you are quite sure you know what you must do?"
32134Had the ten years been for nothing?
32134He said,"So soon?"
32134Incidentally, just why were you nervous?"
32134Is the microphone close enough to your lips?
32134Is this why criminals confessed?
32134Let him get some sleep, will you?
32134Now, are we ready?"
32134The personnel clerk asked,"Just why did you want to work close to the Dictator?"
32134The strip city is unnecessary in time of peace-- was there ever, had there ever been any other time?
32134Was Mulden right?
32134Were there people here, within the building, waiting to help Ellaby?
32134What I meant was this: did you ever hear of a criminal_ not_ confessing to his crime?"
32134What does the Dictator look like?"
32134What in the world would he want to do that for?
32134Why did you want to work near the Dictator?"
32134Why did you want to work near the Dictator?"
32134Will you read this, please?"
32134Without him, what can they do?
32134You''re going to kill me?
32134You''re going to tell me my theta was too high, are n''t you?"
32134Your radio voice?"
32134and individuality(?)
32134and the right to live a self- directed(?)
32134life, to make your own decisions(?
45573A letter, mother?
45573And have you been molested on the way?
45573And now, sir, will you advise me as to your own movements?
45573And now, what are your plans for to- morrow?
45573And was this tale believed?
45573And where is Bixio?
45573And will you be sending him any money, mother?
45573And you went where you liked and did what you liked, just as if you were grown- up men? 45573 And you will fight?"
45573And you, professor?
45573And your grandfather has not changed much, you said?
45573Are you asleep, monsieur?
45573Are you going anywhere in particular when you land?
45573Are you ready to trot on?
45573At best?
45573At what hour shall we meet you, and where?
45573But how are we to be assured?
45573But how could they know me?
45573But how, mother, could it be?
45573But what can there be for us to do?
45573But what took you out beyond the village, Captain Percival? 45573 But who are the revolutionists?"
45573But why on earth should n''t you marry, Tom? 45573 But why should you respect a master who has been, as you say, good at sports, more than one who has studied hard?"
45573Certainly, monsieur; but why should an Englishman want them?
45573Could you spare me an hour of your time to- day? 45573 Did we not hear all about his being killed, how Beppo saw him shot, and how one of the band testified that he was dead and buried?"
45573Do you think, mother-- do you think it possible? 45573 Francs, you must mean, surely?"
45573Have you any news?
45573Have you anything to declare?
45573Have you found all as you wished?
45573He is lost?
45573How about the photographs?
45573How could they catch me there?
45573How is he looking?
45573How long has he been a prisoner here?
45573How long will it be before Cialdini arrives with his army before Capua?
45573How many men has he?
45573I see you still wear your arm in a sling?
45573I suppose we had better push on with Garibaldi, grandfather?
45573In what way, signora?
45573Is every one well, Beppo?
45573Is it treason, lieutenant,he asked quietly,"to ask what has been going on?"
45573It would be such a satisfaction to laugh in their faces and to shout,''Have you had a pleasant journey?'' 45573 May I ask how large a force you are likely to take over with you, general?"
45573May I ask your business?
45573My ticket?
45573Now, what is it?
45573Of whom are you speaking, Forli? 45573 Or, mother?"
45573Prato has this afternoon shot my husband, and for what? 45573 Six of us, including yourself, could not hold this church long?"
45573So we are to stay behind with you?
45573Surrender to whom?
45573That is a pretty little child, is n''t she, if her face were but clean? 45573 That is certainly true; but in that case, why should we have made these preparations for defence?"
45573The son of the Captain Percival who was murdered while searching in Naples for Signor Forli?
45573Then we quite understand each other, padre: openly you protest against our using the church, privately you approve of our doing so?
45573Then you think five men would be sufficient?
45573Then, in fact, Rubini, our journey up here is to be a mere useless promenade?
45573There is no fear of trouble in the town?
45573What are you going to Naples for?
45573What do you think that means?
45573What do you think, Captain Percival?
45573What do you think, Zippo?
45573What do you want with me?
45573What for, mother? 45573 What in the world can the mater want to see me in such a hurry for?"
45573What is it about, mother?
45573What is up, Percival?
45573What other alternative can there be?
45573What was there under the stairs?
45573Where is my mother?
45573Where is the professor?
45573Whom have you got hold of now, mother?
45573Why not?
45573Will you go in with me to see Garibaldi?
45573Will you have a separate command, Percival? 45573 Will you have more, sir?
45573Will you stay here a short time longer?
45573Will you take my vehicle back?
45573Will you take one of my pistols, Rubini?
45573Yes; but if he were bigger and stronger, and you could not box, what would be the good of that? 45573 Yes; but you say that this man was a priest, a clergyman?"
45573You are sure that this is the entire list?
45573You have heard the news?
45573You know your way through the forest in the dark?
45573You mean on pleasure, signor?
45573You must have suffered intensely, Percival?
45573You will let me go in my father''s place, mother, will you not? 45573 About what time does the steamer start?
45573And can I really go out?"
45573And now, what are we to do with ourselves?
45573And so you have taken up again the work that seemed postponed for another century at Rome?"
45573And so your mother has sent you to me?"
45573And you say this woman did not betray them?"
45573And you, professor?"
45573And you?"
45573And your mother-- did she lose hope?"
45573Are the others like this?"
45573Are there any more of them about?"
45573Are you going as second in command?"
45573Are you in a cabin by yourself?"
45573Are you sure that, although you may not know it, you have not been searched?"
45573Are you to stay with me, or to go on to Messina?"
45573But who could have been looking for us both?
45573By what miracle did you escape from the net that was thrown around you?"
45573Can I telegraph?"
45573Can I trust you?"
45573Can you fence?
45573Can you recommend anything better, my friend?"
45573Did you see how she scowled?
45573Do you know what you are going to do?"
45573Do you learn that at your schools?"
45573Do you not agree with me, Zippo?"
45573Do you think that we shall fight, Leonard?"
45573Frank was silent, and Sarto added,"Do you not think so, Percival?"
45573Frank was sleeping soundly when he was woke by Rubini''s sharp challenge,"Who goes there?"
45573Has he not come with you?
45573Have you more boats coming out?"
45573How could she be otherwise, as the daughter of Forli and the wife of my brave comrade?
45573How did you come over here?"
45573How long do you suppose it will be before we join Garibaldi at Messina?"
45573How many boats have you with you?"
45573How many men do you propose to take with you?"
45573How many police are there here?"
45573How was it?
45573However, why do you ask''shall we go on to Naples?''
45573I have not been up to the tower: have any of you?"
45573I know your opinions on the subject; but I suppose you do not propose to fight yourself?"
45573I suppose I shall not go back to school before I start?"
45573I suppose there is a way out on to the roof?"
45573I suppose there is no fear of my being further annoyed?"
45573I suppose we can hardly start for a long walk?"
45573I suppose you are here on duty?"
45573I suppose you came through Traina last night?"
45573I suppose you go on to- morrow?"
45573I suppose your loss was not heavy?"
45573I suppose, father, it would hardly be fair to ask you if there are many of these fellows in the neighbourhood?"
45573Is all Europe at war, that he has managed to bring an army here?"
45573Is it so that he was missing?
45573Is n''t he a fearfully respectable- looking man?
45573Is there any chance of our being disturbed before the men are all ashore?"
45573Let us suppose that the detachment has been cut to pieces: what is our look- out here?
45573Now I ask you frankly, do you think that many of them, or, indeed, any of them, would be likely to get back here?
45573Now, what are you doing here?"
45573Now, what can you tell me about the position of the enemy?"
45573Of course, your father is here with you?"
45573Of course, your masters are not priests?"
45573One moment, though, before you leave me: is my wife alive and well, and my daughter?"
45573So that is what that bread and wine you brought in was for?
45573So you took up the mission which had cost your father either his life or his liberty?
45573Suddenly he said,''Is it not possible that he may have been removed before the king and his court retired?''
45573Suppose that they are ambushed and that none of them get back here?"
45573Supposing him to be alive, where do you think he would most probably be imprisoned?"
45573Surely my wife never believed it?"
45573Surely the general is not coming this way?"
45573The railway is open, is it not?
45573Then you think that that plan will answer?"
45573Was the search made for it simply by the carabinieri?"
45573We can defend the place, or rather we can defend ourselves, for three or four days; but what would be the benefit of that?
45573What became of him?"
45573What could an army, however numerous, of the frivolous population of Naples have done against them?
45573What force have you?"
45573What has happened?"
45573What would be their feelings if they arrived and found the party gone?
45573When this was done, Sarto said,"What next, Percival?"
45573Where is he?
45573Which man do you send?"
45573Why do you ask?"
45573Why should a man look on and see a woman ill- treated without lifting his hand to save her, simply because he is a clergyman?
45573Will it be necessary for me to stay with him till he marches to Messina, or can I ride for that city when I have delivered your orders?"
45573Will you at once carry it round?"
45573Will you be at that door five minutes after the clock strikes?"
45573Will you go to the other gate?
45573Will you please drive on at once?"
45573You do n''t mean Garibaldi?"
45573Your arm still goes on well?"
45573Your father is going on all right, I hope?"
45573and how is he?"
45573he repeated:"you heard that he was killed?
45573he said, after the first greeting--"an Italian?
45573yes, it is Frank: is this a miracle, or am I dreaming?"
2126A reflection from something on the deck?
2126Ah,said Dr. Nicholson quizzically,"And has anything untoward happened to our Graeco- Moslem friend?"
2126And the constable?
2126And what are the conditions?
2126And who attacked them?
2126Any idea who he is?
2126Are you sure?
2126Bristol,I said,"has it occurred to you that there may be others, as well as Hassan of Aleppo, seeking to gain possession of the sacred slipper?"
2126Bristol,I said,"now that the danger grows imminent, does n''t it seem to you foolhardy for us thus to expose ourselves?"
2126But I thought,said Carneta, innocently,"you said the old gentleman who was here on Wednesday went to take some?"
2126But if I can find him?
2126But the slipper?
2126But-- what in God''s name did that awful screaming mean?
2126Cat?
2126Cavanagh!--is that Cavanagh?
2126Could you arrange that I join you?
2126Did he, that awful thing, escape?
2126Did no one see the flash of the pistol?
2126Did they have lights?
2126Did you hear it?
2126Did you notice that man I glanced at?
2126Do they know you by sight here?
2126Do you mean it, Cavanagh?
2126Do you understand, fully,the curator continued,"the risk you run?"
2126Does Mr. Knowlson come to that shutter when you knock?
2126Does any explanation suggest itself to you?
2126Eh?
2126Feel better now?
2126For God''s sake, what can it be?
2126For God''s sake, who is it?
2126For God''s sake, why?
2126For me?
2126From Hassan of Aleppo?
2126Has the case been mended?
2126Have you no theory?
2126He has not been moved at all?
2126Hear it?
2126How can I tell you that? 2126 How can we manage it?
2126How long is he gone?
2126How so?
2126I could, but you can see the danger for yourself?
2126I promise willingly,I said;"but can you give me no hint?"
2126I suppose you have them in a place of safety?
2126I suppose you would wish to avoid a scene?
2126I want to know,I replied,"for whom are those provisions in your basket?"
2126I wonder if we shall ever know?
2126If you know where the slipper is,I said, more for the sake of talking than for anything else,"why do you not recover it?"
2126In brief,I said,"what do you propose?"
2126Is he?
2126Is our late fellow passenger, Mr. Ahmadeen, connected with the matter?
2126Is that where you found it?
2126Is the Burton Room open to the public again?
2126Is there someone with him, then?
2126It is a bit like an Indian conjuring trick,I said, looking up to the sky above us;"who fired the shot?"
2126It was a porter--?
2126Look here, my lad,he said quietly;"is that door locked?"
2126May I use your telephone?
2126Meanwhile, I take it, the safe must remain at Dulwich?
2126Mr. Boulter, sir? 2126 Now,"said Bristol, with a sort of awe in his voice,"where did he fall from?"
2126Perhaps it is,he agreed;"but how otherwise are we likely to learn what happened to Marden and West?"
2126Ready?
2126Safe locked?
2126Shall I bring it?
2126The lady who came in the large blue car, a gray- haired lady?
2126The place is watched during the day, of course?
2126The real danger begins,I suggested to him,"when the general public is admitted-- after to- day, is it not?"
2126The slipper of the Prophet?
2126Then what were you doing on the train with the slipper?
2126Then you are not come from him?
2126Then you persist in pretending that we have not met before?
2126Then you think,I said,"that the English phase of the slipper''s history is closed?
2126Then,I whispered-"it had n''t been stolen?"
2126There have been mysterious outrages committed, I believe, upon many of those who have come in contact with the slipper?
2126To steal it?
2126Too much work?
2126Touched nothing, of course?
2126Was he expecting it?
2126Well, what''s he doing?
2126West may have seen nothing; but how else could any one enter?
2126What do you mean?
2126What do you mean?
2126What do you want with me?
2126What do you want? 2126 What do you want?"
2126What has happened?
2126What is he like?
2126What is in the bag?
2126What is it, then, that Dexter asks me to do?
2126What is it--?
2126What is it? 2126 What is it?"
2126What is the ground like beyond?
2126What precautions,someone asked,"are being taken to guard the slipper?"
2126What shall you do? 2126 What sort of house is Professor Deeping''s?"
2126What sort of sounds?
2126What steps have you taken to protect yourself?
2126What?
2126When did Dexter first conceive the plan to steal the slipper?
2126When did this arrive?
2126Where are you speaking from?
2126Where did it go?
2126Where is he?
2126Where were you?
2126Where''s the doctor?
2126Who are you?
2126Who gave you this, boy?
2126Who lives there?
2126Who on earth did it,he muttered,"and what the blazes for?"
2126Who''s there?
2126Who''s there?
2126Why did you force the door?
2126Why do these people pursue you?
2126Why?
2126Will you please come in?
2126Will you please get me a bowl of water and a sponge?
2126Wind in the bushes?
2126Yes, sir?
2126Yes,was the reply,"did you notice her, then?"
2126You agree, then?
2126You are possibly about to ask me,I suggested,"to assist Earl Dexter to escape the police?"
2126You did n''t notice his departure, then?
2126You do n''t agree, then?
2126You do n''t need to ask what''s in the bag?
2126You have absolutely no clue to the whereabouts of Earl Dexter?
2126You observed a tall Eastern gentleman in the room a while ago, officer?
2126You say he has not been traced?
2126You say that someone heard the sound of the shot?
2126You searched for the murderer, of course?
2126You see that Greenwich car-- nearly at the Ophthalmic Hospital? 2126 You speak of the Hashishin?"
2126You think the body may have been carried here from somewhere else?
2126You think we shall next hear of Earl Dexter from the river police?
2126You will recall my story of the scimitar which flashed before me in the darkness of my stateroom on the Mandalay? 2126 You''ll want to know how I escaped from the cursed death- trap at Hassan''s house in Kent?
2126After all, in what possible way could it jeopardize his plans for me merely to pretend to bring the keys?
2126And who was his beautiful associate?
2126And you thought you would like to make my acquaintance without troubling about the usual formalities?
2126And--""Yes?"
2126Are you content to remain idle while his murderer escapes?"
2126Azraeel?"
2126But what was the stir about?
2126But what was this creature?
2126By what means were Marden and West struck down?
2126CHAPTER XXVI THE STRONG- ROOM I wonder how often a sense of humour has saved a man from desperation?
2126Can you come down now?"
2126Cavanagh?"
2126Cavanagh?"
2126Consider this with the new fact, above, and to what conclusion do you come?
2126Could it be that others, in no way connected with the dreadful Hassan of Aleppo, were in quest of the slipper?
2126Could it be that some of them had not yet left the country?
2126Did I dream it all?"
2126Did the time signify anything?
2126Did you see a lady enter the lift?"
2126Do you see her?
2126Do you wonder that I feared?
2126Do you wonder that I hoped( I confess it), hoped that the slipper might be recovered without further bloodshed?
2126From the shrubbery on the south, through the other windows could I be seen?
2126Had I done rightly or should I have acted otherwise?
2126Had I not fled to the Astoria to escape from the dangerous solitude of my rooms?
2126Have you found Dexter?"
2126How did he get in touch with him?
2126How had Deeping met his death?
2126I ask you-- have you the courage of your convictions?"
2126I obeyed, for what else could I do?
2126I should say you wo n''t be in a hurry to peer through letter boxes and so forth in the future?"
2126I whispered,"did I dream it all?
2126If so, what?
2126In thus exposing ourselves, in order that we might trap the author or authors of the outrage, did we act wisely?
2126Is Mr. Isaacs at home, I wonder?"
2126Isaacs?"
2126Lively, ai n''t it?
2126Might I not, by my mere presence in that place, unwittingly be interfering now?
2126Now, Mr. Cavanagh, what is his game?"
2126Of what are you speaking?"
2126Or was it that I recollected how Dexter had booked two passages to America?
2126Quite apart from the question of where the dwarf fell from, who shot at him and why?"
2126Same with you?"
2126See the idea?
2126Then had I not encountered her again, meeting the glance of her unforgettable violet eyes outside a Strand hotel?
2126Then--"The new problem,"said the Commissioner,"is this: who took the slipper, Dexter or Hassan of Aleppo?"
2126Then--"Why do you ask me to do this?"
2126Was he attacked?"
2126Was it Bristol?
2126Was the girl with the violet eyes an ally of the Hashishin?
2126What am I here for, when I might be on the way to Liverpool, and safety?"
2126What did it mean?
2126What do you make of it all?"
2126What gave you the idea?"
2126What happened?
2126What have you to say to me?"
2126What in heaven''s name did it all mean?
2126What now?
2126What objection can Mr. Isaacs have to photographers?"
2126What shall I say?"
2126What the devil is it?"
2126What then?
2126What was the matter with which I was warned not to interfere?
2126What were these things that approached, silently, stealthily-- like snakes in the grass?
2126What''s it all about?"
2126What?"
2126Where does he come in?
2126Where had I met him before?
2126Where''s the prospects?"
2126Who is his companion?"
2126Who was Ahmadeen?
2126Why are you following me?"
2126Why did n''t you tell me Mr. Knowlson was in?"
2126Why should I remind you of our previous meetings-- of the links which bind you to the history of the Prophet''s slipper?"
2126Why should n''t Earl Dexter be that third party?"
2126Why should this late visitor have rapped in so uncanny a fashion in preference to ringing the bell?
2126Why, I asked myself, had the attack been made at one o''clock?
2126Why, then, if the mysterious Eastern employed a European girl, should he not also employ an American man?
2126Will you undertake to look for some-- Eastern workmen, Mr. Bristol?
2126You are naturally wondering what the devil it all means?
2126You are thinking of my own immunity?"
2126You have seen the moon through a mist?--and known it for what it was in spite of its veiling?
2126You know what was left to guard the slipper while the Sheikh-- rot him-- was away looking after arrangements for getting his mob out of the country?"
2126You think that Dexter, minus his right hand, has eluded British law-- that Hassan and Company have evaded retribution?"
2126You thought I was pretty, I suppose?
2126You will remember what we found within it?
2126has he disappeared?"
2126jerked Hilton--"in the orchard?
2126never been in that room?"
2126said Bristol, looking around him in apparent surprise:"how long is he gone?"
2126what''s that?"
2126who is that?"
