32237 | Do they appear like fanatics to you? |
32237 | Exactly what do you want to see-- to know? |
32237 | First of all, what is the principle of your space drive? |
32237 | If not ours, then whose? 32237 Sir, do you think that they''re insane?" |
32237 | Well then, what can I do? |
32237 | Well, Roger, I wonder how long those birds inside are going to keep us waiting before we get a look at them? |
32237 | Well, Sir, I suppose you''ve heard of the so- calledwild talents"some of our own people occasionally possess?" |
32237 | Well, you''ve been hit hard and often,the President chuckled,"What did you find out?" |
32237 | What gave you the idea that I wanted to know anything? |
32237 | What''s bit yuh, Dan''l? |
32237 | Whose standards can we apply? |
32237 | You''d be surprised if they really were birds, would n''t you? |
32237 | ASSASSIN BY J. F. BONE_ Illustrated by Ed Emsh__ The aliens wooed Earth with gifts, love, patience and peace.__ Who could resist them? |
32237 | An''why''s it peaceful? |
32237 | But do you think they''re sincere in their attitude toward us?" |
32237 | But the question still remains-- what do they want? |
32237 | Did he dare tamper with the will of the world? |
32237 | Did he have the right to destroy man''s dream? |
32237 | Had he the right to play God? |
32237 | Is n''t that what they''re doing?" |
32237 | Is that agreeable?" |
32237 | Jes f''r instance, an''speakin''of bellwethers, have yuh ever heard of a character called Throckmorton Bixbee?" |
32237 | Matson?" |
32237 | Shock would do it, but how could that shock be applied? |
32237 | They struck exactly the right note-- and how could they improve on perfection? |
32237 | Was it merely mistaken kindliness or was there a deeper more subtle motive? |
32237 | Why should he struggle to find an answer when the Aztlans had discovered it millennia ago and were perfectly willing to share their knowledge? |
32237 | Why should he use inept human devices when those of the aliens performed similar operations with infinitely more ease and efficiency? |
32237 | Why should he work when all he had to do was ask? |
32237 | Why were they doing this? |
32237 | Why? |
29675 | A neural backup? |
29675 | And Suzi? |
29675 | And us? |
29675 | As opposed to all the drugs you take to calm you down as you make the hit? |
29675 | Bad night? |
29675 | Checks? |
29675 | Did Mike send you? |
29675 | Did it ever occur to you that I''m only human? |
29675 | Did she say anything? |
29675 | Efficiently? |
29675 | How do you know that? |
29675 | How do you know they did n''t build_ you_? |
29675 | How long do you reckon we''ve got''til someone realises what happened to Mike? |
29675 | How much do you know? |
29675 | Is n''t that your main selling point? 29675 Is there something wrong with my performance?" |
29675 | It''s a bit early for that, is n''t it? |
29675 | So what''s the problem? |
29675 | So why''d they build you? |
29675 | Twin assassins? 29675 We ca n''t trust each other?" |
29675 | What do you figure we should do with it? |
29675 | What happened? |
29675 | What''s this really for? 29675 Who?" |
29675 | Who_ are_ you? |
29675 | Yes? |
29675 | You killed him? |
29675 | You know how few of you there are left in your line of work? |
29675 | You mean you''ve had a change of heart? |
29675 | _ Her_? |
29675 | _ What_? |
29675 | Ca n''t we just talk like civilised adults?" |
29675 | Do n''t you think that actually having him taken out was kind of overkill on Godin''s part?" |
29675 | Have I really become a commodity? |
29675 | Have you given any more thought to my offer? |
29675 | Insurance in case I mess up?" |
29675 | Why did you wait so long?" |
29675 | Why the pause?" |
6628 | Are you aware, sir,he said, courteously,"upon whom you are intruding? |
6628 | But who are you? |
6628 | Damn the women,cried Baker;"what if they are undressed? |
6628 | What have you done with the body? |
6628 | Where are the men who stay with you? |
6628 | Where are the rest of the cabinet? |
6628 | Where is Frederick-- what is the matter with him? |
6628 | Where is General Grant? |
6628 | Who was to be the executioner? |
6628 | Who''s that man in there? 6628 Who-- who is it that calls me?" |
6628 | Why does''nt the President come to see me? |
6628 | Why had not the renowned and artistic Isaacs been sent for from New York? |
6628 | Would they probably die game, or grow weak- kneed in the last extremity? |
6628 | A bold, clarion reply came from within, so strong as to be heard at the house door:"Who are you, and what do you want with us?" |
6628 | As the two horsemen started to go off, Booth cried out to Lloyd:"Do you want to hear some news?" |
6628 | Do n''t you think so? |
6628 | Do you know any forehead so broad which means so little? |
6628 | Have you ever noticed how a stick in one''s hand will change his appearance? |
6628 | If he expected so much for capturing the President merely, what of our execration at slaying him? |
6628 | Is an execution, then, so great a warning to evil- doers, that men will commit forgery to see it? |
6628 | She was of the medium height, and modest-- as what woman would not be under such searching survey? |
6628 | Then fly,--what from myself? |
6628 | Then the question was repeated, backed up by the glimmering pistol,"where are those men?" |
6628 | Was it the dead President who so followed the march of empire, and dotted the sites of shock and overthrow? |
6628 | Was this all? |
6628 | What do I fear? |
6628 | Why are they so dilatory in wishing to be hanged? |
6628 | Why do n''t you send me to Capitol Hill?" |
6628 | Why? |
6628 | You have seen these fishing poles that fit into a cane? |
6628 | there is none else by: Is there a murderer here? |
6628 | what am I?" |
60460 | And Daimya? |
60460 | And join the revolutionaries? |
60460 | And yet they say the Federation is a republic? 60460 Are they completely dependable?" |
60460 | Dad? |
60460 | Did you expect they exempted us all from our taxes as a reward? |
60460 | Enough to live on? |
60460 | How many can you get me that will obey me without question, no matter what? |
60460 | How 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?" |
60460 | How many men have you killed in that job? |
60460 | If 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?" |
60460 | Respect him? 60460 What about Daimya?" |
60460 | What about her? |
60460 | What about the others? |
60460 | What is it? |
60460 | What was your tax the past year? |
60460 | What will the death of Mayne Landing accomplish? |
60460 | What_ will_ happen to the village? |
60460 | When will he be back? |
60460 | Where will she be during-- this attack? |
60460 | Who the hell''s the girl? |
60460 | Will you come with me? |
60460 | Yes, yes? 60460 You do n''t know?" |
60460 | You understand-- a man and his daughter-- you understand? |
60460 | You would take her? |
60460 | And if the revolution succeeds eventually, how can we know the Federation will not be replaced by the same thing under another name?" |
60460 | And what does the administration consist of? |
60460 | And what might you be hunting, Mr.--Gray?" |
60460 | But is there no other way than murder and assassination? |
60460 | But the others can be depended on''within reason?''" |
60460 | But, now, could the Cause forgive him his service?_[ Transcriber''s Note: This etext was produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, April 1958. |
60460 | Did he know the shuttle that had brought him had been lost? |
60460 | Do you know what happens to the money you pay the Terran Federation in taxes?" |
60460 | Explosive? |
60460 | Gray?" |
60460 | No? |
60460 | That''s all._"Tell me,"Daimya said curiously,"how do you come to be mixed up in a thing like this? |
60460 | This violence-- what can come of it? |
60460 | What is it? |
60460 | When 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? |
32134 | Are you nervous? |
32134 | Did n''t they explain all of that to you in High Falls? |
32134 | Does n''t it seem peculiar to you that, purely by co- incidence, Ellaby happened to meet these people? |
32134 | So we''ve pavloved him for ten years, have we? |
32134 | Tell me, Ellaby, did you ever hear your own voice? |
32134 | Then you were n''t cleared for top secret? |
32134 | Then--"But you''ve never known a man to refuse answering a question asked of him officially, have you? |
32134 | What did you do that for? |
32134 | What kind of job will I get? |
32134 | What''s your job? |
32134 | Why, Ellaby? |
32134 | Why? |
32134 | Will you agree to answer my question? |
32134 | You did n''t tell them? |
32134 | You think I''m the Dictator? 32134 ***** Later, Dorcas Sinclair asked:What else happened at testing, Ellaby?" |
32134 | A new order based not on modality but something else? |
32134 | And after that-- what? |
32134 | Chaos? |
32134 | Did the sound of their own voices drive them mad? |
32134 | Do n''t you remember? |
32134 | Do n''t you see, Sinclair? |
32134 | Do n''t you understand, Sinclair? |
32134 | Ellaby, you are quite sure you know what you must do?" |
32134 | Had the ten years been for nothing? |
32134 | He said,"So soon?" |
32134 | Incidentally, just why were you nervous?" |
32134 | Is the microphone close enough to your lips? |
32134 | Is this why criminals confessed? |
32134 | Let him get some sleep, will you? |
32134 | Now, are we ready?" |
32134 | The personnel clerk asked,"Just why did you want to work close to the Dictator?" |
32134 | The strip city is unnecessary in time of peace-- was there ever, had there ever been any other time? |
32134 | Was Mulden right? |
32134 | Were there people here, within the building, waiting to help Ellaby? |
32134 | What I meant was this: did you ever hear of a criminal_ not_ confessing to his crime?" |
32134 | What does the Dictator look like?" |
32134 | What in the world would he want to do that for? |
32134 | Why did you want to work near the Dictator?" |
32134 | Why did you want to work near the Dictator?" |
32134 | Will you read this, please?" |
32134 | Without him, what can they do? |
32134 | You''re going to kill me? |
32134 | You''re going to tell me my theta was too high, are n''t you?" |
32134 | Your radio voice?" |
32134 | and individuality(?) |
32134 | and the right to live a self- directed(?) |
32134 | life, to make your own decisions(? |
45573 | A letter, mother? |
45573 | And have you been molested on the way? |
45573 | And now, sir, will you advise me as to your own movements? |
45573 | And now, what are your plans for to- morrow? |
45573 | And was this tale believed? |
45573 | And where is Bixio? |
45573 | And will you be sending him any money, mother? |
45573 | And you went where you liked and did what you liked, just as if you were grown- up men? 45573 And you will fight?" |
45573 | And you, professor? |
45573 | And your grandfather has not changed much, you said? |
45573 | Are you asleep, monsieur? |
45573 | Are you going anywhere in particular when you land? |
45573 | Are you ready to trot on? |
45573 | At best? |
45573 | At what hour shall we meet you, and where? |
45573 | But how are we to be assured? |
45573 | But how could they know me? |
45573 | But how, mother, could it be? |
45573 | But what can there be for us to do? |
45573 | But what took you out beyond the village, Captain Percival? 45573 But who are the revolutionists?" |
45573 | But 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?" |
45573 | Certainly, monsieur; but why should an Englishman want them? |
45573 | Could 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?" |
45573 | Do you think, mother-- do you think it possible? 45573 Francs, you must mean, surely?" |
45573 | Have you any news? |
45573 | Have you anything to declare? |
45573 | Have you found all as you wished? |
45573 | He is lost? |
45573 | How about the photographs? |
45573 | How could they catch me there? |
45573 | How is he looking? |
45573 | How long has he been a prisoner here? |
45573 | How long will it be before Cialdini arrives with his army before Capua? |
45573 | How many men has he? |
45573 | I see you still wear your arm in a sling? |
45573 | I suppose we had better push on with Garibaldi, grandfather? |
45573 | In what way, signora? |
45573 | Is every one well, Beppo? |
45573 | Is it treason, lieutenant,he asked quietly,"to ask what has been going on?" |
45573 | It 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?" |
45573 | May I ask your business? |
45573 | My ticket? |
45573 | Now, what is it? |
45573 | Of whom are you speaking, Forli? 45573 Or, mother?" |
45573 | Prato has this afternoon shot my husband, and for what? 45573 Six of us, including yourself, could not hold this church long?" |
45573 | So we are to stay behind with you? |
45573 | Surrender to whom? |
45573 | That 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?" |
45573 | The son of the Captain Percival who was murdered while searching in Naples for Signor Forli? |
45573 | Then we quite understand each other, padre: openly you protest against our using the church, privately you approve of our doing so? |
45573 | Then you think five men would be sufficient? |
45573 | Then, in fact, Rubini, our journey up here is to be a mere useless promenade? |
45573 | There is no fear of trouble in the town? |
45573 | What are you going to Naples for? |
45573 | What do you think that means? |
45573 | What do you think, Captain Percival? |
45573 | What do you think, Zippo? |
45573 | What do you want with me? |
45573 | What for, mother? 45573 What in the world can the mater want to see me in such a hurry for?" |
45573 | What is it about, mother? |
45573 | What is up, Percival? |
45573 | What other alternative can there be? |
45573 | What was there under the stairs? |
45573 | Where is my mother? |
45573 | Where is the professor? |
45573 | Whom have you got hold of now, mother? |
45573 | Why not? |
45573 | Will you go in with me to see Garibaldi? |
45573 | Will you have a separate command, Percival? 45573 Will you have more, sir? |
45573 | Will you stay here a short time longer? |
45573 | Will you take my vehicle back? |
45573 | Will you take one of my pistols, Rubini? |
45573 | Yes; 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?" |
45573 | You are sure that this is the entire list? |
45573 | You have heard the news? |
45573 | You know your way through the forest in the dark? |
45573 | You mean on pleasure, signor? |
45573 | You must have suffered intensely, Percival? |
45573 | You will let me go in my father''s place, mother, will you not? 45573 About what time does the steamer start? |
45573 | And can I really go out?" |
45573 | And now, what are we to do with ourselves? |
45573 | And so you have taken up again the work that seemed postponed for another century at Rome?" |
45573 | And so your mother has sent you to me?" |
45573 | And you say this woman did not betray them?" |
45573 | And you, professor?" |
45573 | And you?" |
45573 | And your mother-- did she lose hope?" |
45573 | Are the others like this?" |
45573 | Are there any more of them about?" |
45573 | Are you going as second in command?" |
45573 | Are you in a cabin by yourself?" |
45573 | Are you sure that, although you may not know it, you have not been searched?" |
45573 | Are you to stay with me, or to go on to Messina?" |
45573 | But who could have been looking for us both? |
45573 | By what miracle did you escape from the net that was thrown around you?" |
45573 | Can I telegraph?" |
45573 | Can I trust you?" |
45573 | Can you fence? |
45573 | Can you recommend anything better, my friend?" |
45573 | Did you see how she scowled? |
45573 | Do you know what you are going to do?" |
45573 | Do you learn that at your schools?" |
45573 | Do you not agree with me, Zippo?" |
45573 | Do you think that we shall fight, Leonard?" |
45573 | Frank was silent, and Sarto added,"Do you not think so, Percival?" |
45573 | Frank was sleeping soundly when he was woke by Rubini''s sharp challenge,"Who goes there?" |
45573 | Has he not come with you? |
45573 | Have you more boats coming out?" |
45573 | How could she be otherwise, as the daughter of Forli and the wife of my brave comrade? |
45573 | How did you come over here?" |
45573 | How long do you suppose it will be before we join Garibaldi at Messina?" |
45573 | How many boats have you with you?" |
45573 | How many men do you propose to take with you?" |
45573 | How many police are there here?" |
45573 | How was it? |
45573 | However, why do you ask''shall we go on to Naples?'' |
45573 | I have not been up to the tower: have any of you?" |
45573 | I know your opinions on the subject; but I suppose you do not propose to fight yourself?" |
45573 | I suppose I shall not go back to school before I start?" |
45573 | I suppose there is a way out on to the roof?" |
45573 | I suppose there is no fear of my being further annoyed?" |
45573 | I suppose we can hardly start for a long walk?" |
45573 | I suppose you are here on duty?" |
45573 | I suppose you came through Traina last night?" |
45573 | I suppose you go on to- morrow?" |
45573 | I suppose your loss was not heavy?" |
45573 | I suppose, father, it would hardly be fair to ask you if there are many of these fellows in the neighbourhood?" |
45573 | Is all Europe at war, that he has managed to bring an army here?" |
45573 | Is it so that he was missing? |
45573 | Is n''t he a fearfully respectable- looking man? |
45573 | Is there any chance of our being disturbed before the men are all ashore?" |
45573 | Let us suppose that the detachment has been cut to pieces: what is our look- out here? |
45573 | Now I ask you frankly, do you think that many of them, or, indeed, any of them, would be likely to get back here? |
45573 | Now, what are you doing here?" |
45573 | Now, what can you tell me about the position of the enemy?" |
45573 | Of course, your father is here with you?" |
45573 | Of course, your masters are not priests?" |
45573 | One moment, though, before you leave me: is my wife alive and well, and my daughter?" |
45573 | So that is what that bread and wine you brought in was for? |
45573 | So you took up the mission which had cost your father either his life or his liberty? |
45573 | Suddenly he said,''Is it not possible that he may have been removed before the king and his court retired?'' |
45573 | Suppose that they are ambushed and that none of them get back here?" |
45573 | Supposing him to be alive, where do you think he would most probably be imprisoned?" |
45573 | Surely my wife never believed it?" |
45573 | Surely the general is not coming this way?" |
45573 | The railway is open, is it not? |
45573 | Then you think that that plan will answer?" |
45573 | Was the search made for it simply by the carabinieri?" |
45573 | We can defend the place, or rather we can defend ourselves, for three or four days; but what would be the benefit of that? |
45573 | What became of him?" |
45573 | What could an army, however numerous, of the frivolous population of Naples have done against them? |
45573 | What force have you?" |
45573 | What has happened?" |
45573 | What would be their feelings if they arrived and found the party gone? |
45573 | When this was done, Sarto said,"What next, Percival?" |
45573 | Where is he? |
45573 | Which man do you send?" |
45573 | Why do you ask?" |
45573 | Why should a man look on and see a woman ill- treated without lifting his hand to save her, simply because he is a clergyman? |
45573 | Will 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?" |
45573 | Will you at once carry it round?" |
45573 | Will you be at that door five minutes after the clock strikes?" |
45573 | Will you go to the other gate? |
45573 | Will you please drive on at once?" |
45573 | You do n''t mean Garibaldi?" |
45573 | Your arm still goes on well?" |
45573 | Your father is going on all right, I hope?" |
45573 | and how is he?" |
45573 | he repeated:"you heard that he was killed? |
45573 | he said, after the first greeting--"an Italian? |
45573 | yes, it is Frank: is this a miracle, or am I dreaming?" |
2126 | A reflection from something on the deck? |
2126 | Ah,said Dr. Nicholson quizzically,"And has anything untoward happened to our Graeco- Moslem friend?" |
2126 | And the constable? |
2126 | And what are the conditions? |
2126 | And who attacked them? |
2126 | Any idea who he is? |
2126 | Are you sure? |
2126 | Bristol,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?" |
2126 | Bristol,I said,"now that the danger grows imminent, does n''t it seem to you foolhardy for us thus to expose ourselves?" |
2126 | But I thought,said Carneta, innocently,"you said the old gentleman who was here on Wednesday went to take some?" |
2126 | But if I can find him? |
2126 | But the slipper? |
2126 | But-- what in God''s name did that awful screaming mean? |
2126 | Cat? |
2126 | Cavanagh!--is that Cavanagh? |
2126 | Could you arrange that I join you? |
2126 | Did he, that awful thing, escape? |
2126 | Did no one see the flash of the pistol? |
2126 | Did they have lights? |
2126 | Did you hear it? |
2126 | Did you notice that man I glanced at? |
2126 | Do they know you by sight here? |
2126 | Do you mean it, Cavanagh? |
2126 | Do you understand, fully,the curator continued,"the risk you run?" |
2126 | Does Mr. Knowlson come to that shutter when you knock? |
2126 | Does any explanation suggest itself to you? |
2126 | Eh? |
2126 | Feel better now? |
2126 | For God''s sake, what can it be? |
2126 | For God''s sake, who is it? |
2126 | For God''s sake, why? |
2126 | For me? |
2126 | From Hassan of Aleppo? |
2126 | Has the case been mended? |
2126 | Have you no theory? |
2126 | He has not been moved at all? |
2126 | Hear it? |
2126 | How can I tell you that? 2126 How can we manage it? |
2126 | How long is he gone? |
2126 | How so? |
2126 | I could, but you can see the danger for yourself? |
2126 | I promise willingly,I said;"but can you give me no hint?" |
2126 | I suppose you have them in a place of safety? |
2126 | I suppose you would wish to avoid a scene? |
2126 | I want to know,I replied,"for whom are those provisions in your basket?" |
2126 | I wonder if we shall ever know? |
2126 | If you know where the slipper is,I said, more for the sake of talking than for anything else,"why do you not recover it?" |
2126 | In brief,I said,"what do you propose?" |
2126 | Is he? |
2126 | Is our late fellow passenger, Mr. Ahmadeen, connected with the matter? |
2126 | Is that where you found it? |
2126 | Is the Burton Room open to the public again? |
2126 | Is there someone with him, then? |
2126 | It is a bit like an Indian conjuring trick,I said, looking up to the sky above us;"who fired the shot?" |
2126 | It was a porter--? |
2126 | Look here, my lad,he said quietly;"is that door locked?" |
2126 | May I use your telephone? |
2126 | Meanwhile, I take it, the safe must remain at Dulwich? |
2126 | Mr. Boulter, sir? 2126 Now,"said Bristol, with a sort of awe in his voice,"where did he fall from?" |
2126 | Perhaps it is,he agreed;"but how otherwise are we likely to learn what happened to Marden and West?" |
2126 | Ready? |
2126 | Safe locked? |
2126 | Shall I bring it? |
2126 | The lady who came in the large blue car, a gray- haired lady? |
2126 | The place is watched during the day, of course? |
2126 | The real danger begins,I suggested to him,"when the general public is admitted-- after to- day, is it not?" |
2126 | The slipper of the Prophet? |
2126 | Then what were you doing on the train with the slipper? |
2126 | Then you are not come from him? |
2126 | Then you persist in pretending that we have not met before? |
2126 | Then you think,I said,"that the English phase of the slipper''s history is closed? |
2126 | Then,I whispered-"it had n''t been stolen?" |
2126 | There have been mysterious outrages committed, I believe, upon many of those who have come in contact with the slipper? |
2126 | To steal it? |
2126 | Too much work? |
2126 | Touched nothing, of course? |
2126 | Was he expecting it? |
2126 | Well, what''s he doing? |
2126 | West may have seen nothing; but how else could any one enter? |
2126 | What do you mean? |
2126 | What do you mean? |
2126 | What do you want with me? |
2126 | What do you want? 2126 What do you want?" |
2126 | What has happened? |
2126 | What is he like? |
2126 | What is in the bag? |
2126 | What is it, then, that Dexter asks me to do? |
2126 | What is it--? |
2126 | What is it? 2126 What is it?" |
2126 | What is the ground like beyond? |
2126 | What precautions,someone asked,"are being taken to guard the slipper?" |
2126 | What shall you do? 2126 What sort of house is Professor Deeping''s?" |
2126 | What sort of sounds? |
2126 | What steps have you taken to protect yourself? |
2126 | What? |
2126 | When did Dexter first conceive the plan to steal the slipper? |
2126 | When did this arrive? |
2126 | Where are you speaking from? |
2126 | Where did it go? |
2126 | Where is he? |
2126 | Where were you? |
2126 | Where''s the doctor? |
2126 | Who are you? |
2126 | Who gave you this, boy? |
2126 | Who lives there? |
2126 | Who on earth did it,he muttered,"and what the blazes for?" |
2126 | Who''s there? |
2126 | Who''s there? |
2126 | Why did you force the door? |
2126 | Why do these people pursue you? |
2126 | Why? |
2126 | Will you please come in? |
2126 | Will you please get me a bowl of water and a sponge? |
2126 | Wind in the bushes? |
2126 | Yes, sir? |
2126 | Yes,was the reply,"did you notice her, then?" |
2126 | You agree, then? |
2126 | You are possibly about to ask me,I suggested,"to assist Earl Dexter to escape the police?" |
2126 | You did n''t notice his departure, then? |
2126 | You do n''t agree, then? |
2126 | You do n''t need to ask what''s in the bag? |
2126 | You have absolutely no clue to the whereabouts of Earl Dexter? |
2126 | You observed a tall Eastern gentleman in the room a while ago, officer? |
2126 | You say he has not been traced? |
2126 | You say that someone heard the sound of the shot? |
2126 | You searched for the murderer, of course? |
2126 | You see that Greenwich car-- nearly at the Ophthalmic Hospital? 2126 You speak of the Hashishin?" |
2126 | You think the body may have been carried here from somewhere else? |
2126 | You think we shall next hear of Earl Dexter from the river police? |
2126 | You 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? |
2126 | After all, in what possible way could it jeopardize his plans for me merely to pretend to bring the keys? |
2126 | And who was his beautiful associate? |
2126 | And you thought you would like to make my acquaintance without troubling about the usual formalities? |
2126 | And--""Yes?" |
2126 | Are you content to remain idle while his murderer escapes?" |
2126 | Azraeel?" |
2126 | But what was the stir about? |
2126 | But what was this creature? |
2126 | By what means were Marden and West struck down? |
2126 | CHAPTER XXVI THE STRONG- ROOM I wonder how often a sense of humour has saved a man from desperation? |
2126 | Can you come down now?" |
2126 | Cavanagh?" |
2126 | Cavanagh?" |
2126 | Consider this with the new fact, above, and to what conclusion do you come? |
2126 | Could it be that others, in no way connected with the dreadful Hassan of Aleppo, were in quest of the slipper? |
2126 | Could it be that some of them had not yet left the country? |
2126 | Did I dream it all?" |
2126 | Did the time signify anything? |
2126 | Did you see a lady enter the lift?" |
2126 | Do you see her? |
2126 | Do you wonder that I feared? |
2126 | Do you wonder that I hoped( I confess it), hoped that the slipper might be recovered without further bloodshed? |
2126 | From the shrubbery on the south, through the other windows could I be seen? |
2126 | Had I done rightly or should I have acted otherwise? |
2126 | Had I not fled to the Astoria to escape from the dangerous solitude of my rooms? |
2126 | Have you found Dexter?" |
2126 | How did he get in touch with him? |
2126 | How had Deeping met his death? |
2126 | I ask you-- have you the courage of your convictions?" |
2126 | I obeyed, for what else could I do? |
2126 | I should say you wo n''t be in a hurry to peer through letter boxes and so forth in the future?" |
2126 | I whispered,"did I dream it all? |
2126 | If so, what? |
2126 | In thus exposing ourselves, in order that we might trap the author or authors of the outrage, did we act wisely? |
2126 | Is Mr. Isaacs at home, I wonder?" |
2126 | Isaacs?" |
2126 | Lively, ai n''t it? |
2126 | Might I not, by my mere presence in that place, unwittingly be interfering now? |
2126 | Now, Mr. Cavanagh, what is his game?" |
2126 | Of what are you speaking?" |
2126 | Or was it that I recollected how Dexter had booked two passages to America? |
2126 | Quite apart from the question of where the dwarf fell from, who shot at him and why?" |
2126 | Same with you?" |
2126 | See the idea? |
2126 | Then had I not encountered her again, meeting the glance of her unforgettable violet eyes outside a Strand hotel? |
2126 | Then--"The new problem,"said the Commissioner,"is this: who took the slipper, Dexter or Hassan of Aleppo?" |
2126 | Then--"Why do you ask me to do this?" |
2126 | Was he attacked?" |
2126 | Was it Bristol? |
2126 | Was the girl with the violet eyes an ally of the Hashishin? |
2126 | What am I here for, when I might be on the way to Liverpool, and safety?" |
2126 | What did it mean? |
2126 | What do you make of it all?" |
2126 | What gave you the idea?" |
2126 | What happened? |
2126 | What have you to say to me?" |
2126 | What in heaven''s name did it all mean? |
2126 | What now? |
2126 | What objection can Mr. Isaacs have to photographers?" |
2126 | What shall I say?" |
2126 | What the devil is it?" |
2126 | What then? |
2126 | What was the matter with which I was warned not to interfere? |
2126 | What were these things that approached, silently, stealthily-- like snakes in the grass? |
2126 | What''s it all about?" |
2126 | What?" |
2126 | Where does he come in? |
2126 | Where had I met him before? |
2126 | Where''s the prospects?" |
2126 | Who is his companion?" |
2126 | Who was Ahmadeen? |
2126 | Why are you following me?" |
2126 | Why did n''t you tell me Mr. Knowlson was in?" |
2126 | Why should I remind you of our previous meetings-- of the links which bind you to the history of the Prophet''s slipper?" |
2126 | Why should n''t Earl Dexter be that third party?" |
2126 | Why should this late visitor have rapped in so uncanny a fashion in preference to ringing the bell? |
2126 | Why, I asked myself, had the attack been made at one o''clock? |
2126 | Why, then, if the mysterious Eastern employed a European girl, should he not also employ an American man? |
2126 | Will you undertake to look for some-- Eastern workmen, Mr. Bristol? |
2126 | You are naturally wondering what the devil it all means? |
2126 | You are thinking of my own immunity?" |
2126 | You have seen the moon through a mist?--and known it for what it was in spite of its veiling? |
2126 | You 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?" |
2126 | You think that Dexter, minus his right hand, has eluded British law-- that Hassan and Company have evaded retribution?" |
2126 | You thought I was pretty, I suppose? |
2126 | You will remember what we found within it? |
2126 | has he disappeared?" |
2126 | jerked Hilton--"in the orchard? |
2126 | never been in that room?" |
2126 | said Bristol, looking around him in apparent surprise:"how long is he gone?" |
2126 | what''s that?" |
2126 | who is that?" |
