14334What about you in the meantime? 14334 What good would that do yuh?"
14334What the-- what''s Edith got to do with it?
14334What''s it to you, damn yuh?
14334Where in the world have you been, that you have n''t been over to see us?
14334Who are the Ragged H folks, and what''s the matter with them?
14334Why do you spend every summer out here in the wilderness?
14334Will you be good enough to inform what dance is_ not_ promised?
14334With so authentic a map of the enemy''s stronghold, what need I fear? 14334 Yes?
14334You do n''t, eh? 14334 You will drive-- where?"
14334You''re glad, are n''t you? 14334 Your face is familiar, though; been in this country long?"
14334_ My_ Mr. Terence Weaver?
14334( Ever hear tell of a Frenchman that did n''t begin his sentences that way?
14334A day or so after he said:"How do you like the country?"
14334And it''s a fact that, ticklish as was the situation, my first thought was:"So her name''s Beryl, is it?
14334And you_ will_ marry me, dear?"
14334And, by the way, Ellie, what are_ you_ doing here-- a stranger?"
14334And-- oh, what''s the use?
14334Another one drawled:"What''s the use?
14334Are yuh going on round- up?"

14334Do you know how to fix it, Ellie?"
14334Do you think I''m going to leave them to clean you up?"
14334Going to stay long out here?"
14334He has shaved his mustache, and he''s much browner and heavier, but he''s Fred Miller-- and why does n''t he come and speak to me?"
14334How does it happen yuh are n''t wise to the family history?"
14334How was that for a greeting?
14334How was that for straight nerve?
14334How''s your good health?"
14334I broke out, when we were nearly to the depot"If that isn''t-- do any of you notice anything out on the side- track, over there?"
14334I did n''t feel in the mood for conversation, even with him; but, to be decent, I spurred up alongside and said hello, and where had he come from?
14334I feel--""No?
14334I happened to look down upon the ferry; and what do you suppose that old devil was doing?
14334I hope you are prepared to pay the penalty--""Penalty?"
14334I-- how does it happen you are away out here by yourself?"
14334Is it a fight to the finish, and no quarter asked or given?"
14334Is it vitally important that it should_ not_ start?"
14334Is that gate down there locked?"
14334Me drink with a son of John Carleton?
14334Now, what do you think of that?
14334So what does anything else matter?
14334The weend, she--""Aw, what yuh running a ferry for?"
14334Then, why did you begin it?"
14334We can go around by Kenmore, if we want to-- but King''s Highway?
14334What address do you claim, in this wilderness?"
14334Where was all my cunning now?
14334Where were those blatant footprints of mine that were to give their own eloquent message?
14334Where''s your war- bag, darn yuh?"
14334Who was he?
14334Whom else?
14334Why could n''t I put her on my horse and carry her off and keep her always?
14334Will that do?"
14334Would my mysterious guide be shocked to learn that John A. Carleton''s son and heir had landed in a strange land without two- bits to his name?
14334Would you wear a mask-- a black velvet mask?
14334Would you?"
14334You''re here, yourself; do n''t you like it?"

7213After throwing the industry into the hands of outside speculators, are the workmen given any better treatment or wages?
7213And are all properly chargeable to the day''s work?
7213And democracy has nothing to do with the question,"Who ought to be boss?"
7213And how can they do this unless they have the means of taking their raw materials, like grain and cattle, and changing them into finished products?
7213And if in the process of manufacturing fewer and fewer men are used, what is going to become of these men-- how are they going to find jobs and live?
7213And if stored, how could they be shipped in the rush season?
7213And is his ability to have a home and family the"profit"?
7213And let him starve?
7213And the saving?
7213And what is there in industry incompatible with all the arts receiving in their turn the attention of those qualified to serve in them?
7213And who can take a loss except those who have something which they can afford to lose?
7213And who would find the money to carry such a stock of cars even if they could be stored?
7213And yet how much of the"development"of Mexico by foreign exploiters ever took account of the development of its people?
7213And, anyhow, who is competent to say just what kind of living we shall base the costs on?
7213And, by the way, was inventive genius ever so sterile as it was during the war?
7213But how about production?
7213But if that business does warrant higher wages and the employer refuses, what is to be done?
7213But what business ever started with the manufacturer and ended with the consumer?
7213But what is more pitiable than a poor, pinched mind spending the rich days and years clutching a few bits of metal?

7213Charles Franks, and the DP Team MY LIFE AND WORK By Henry Ford In Collaboration With Samuel Crowther CONTENTS INTRODUCTION-- WHAT IS THE IDEA?
7213Could Capital gain by crushing Labour?
7213Does a card player add to the wealth of the world?
7213Does that settle anything?
7213Does the manufacturer exist for the consumer or does the consumer exist for the manufacturer?
7213Else where would be the need for union officers?
7213First tractors arrived, when will Smith and others leave?
7213First we ought to find whether it is as well made as it should be-- does it give the best possible service?
7213For when were men ever really put out of work by the bettering of industrial processes?
7213HOW CHEAPLY CAN THINGS BE MADE?
7213Have you ever considered what a wage does or ought to do?
7213He said:"Yes, what about it?"
7213How are you going to figure the contribution of the home to the day''s work?
7213How did all this come about?
7213How does the number of taxicabs compare with the number of horse- cabs when the latter were in their prime?
7213How many of the men would be engaged, not in producing, but in merely carrying from place to place what the other men had produced?
7213How much of a living is reasonably to be expected from work?
7213How much to his position as a citizen?
7213How much to his position as a father?
7213INDEX INTRODUCTION WHAT IS THE IDEA?
7213If every necessary of life were produced so cheaply and in such quantities, would not the world shortly be surfeited with goods?
7213If foodstuffs become too plentiful to be consumed as food, why not find other uses for them?
7213If human sympathy prompts us to feed the hungry, why should it not give the larger desire-- to make hunger in our midst impossible?
7213If such a strike is won by the strikers, is the lot of the workingman improved?
7213If the consumer will not-- says he cannot-- buy what the manufacturer has to offer, is that the fault of the manufacturer or the consumer?
7213If the farmer''s bloc should crush the manufacturers would the farmers be better off?
7213If the farms be deserted, of what use are manufacturers?
7213If the hog business slackens, why should not the farmer turn his corn into tractor fuel?
7213If the manufacturer''s bloc should crush the farmers, would the manufacturers be better off?
7213In transportation why put extra weight in a machine?
7213Is a man more wise with borrowed money than he is with his own?
7213Is a man the happier for starving?
7213Is business good or bad according to the dictates of fate?
7213Is it clumsy?
7213Is it wrong?
7213Is it?
7213Is n''t that nonsense?
7213Is that anything against him?
7213Is the man''s own livelihood to be regarded as the"cost"?
7213Is there no use for corn besides the making of pork or the making of whisky?
7213It is all well enough in a pile- driver, but why move a heavy weight if we are not going to hit anything with it?
7213It is not usual to speak of an employee as a partner, and yet what else is he?
7213MONEY-- MASTER OR SERVANT?
7213Must we accept the conditions as inevitable?
7213No one wants to be fat and heavy of body-- then why of head?
7213Nor the employee by glaring back and asking,"How much can I force him to give?"
7213On what system of figuring is the home going to find its place on the cost sheets of the day''s work?
7213Or Labour by crushing Capital?
7213Or are all these relationships to be considered strictly under head of cost, and the profit to be computed entirely outside of them?
7213Or as a service?
7213Or does a man in business gain by crushing a competitor?
7213Or is it better to put him in the way of a good living?
7213Or is nobody at fault?
7213Or worse fitted?
7213Or would Caruso''s gifts have still remained his own?
7213Should we have been better fitted to go on with our business?
7213Should we have prevented the taxicab because its coming took the bread out of the mouths of the horse- cab drivers?
7213Should we have prohibited the railways and kept the stage- coach drivers?
7213So if we want to work why not concentrate on the work and do it in the quickest possible fashion?
7213Suppose we had borrowed, what would have happened?
7213Take the industrial idea; what is it?
7213That is very much like asking:"Who ought to be the tenor in the quartet?"
7213The basic question is"What can the business stand?"
7213The business limits the wages, but does anything limit the business?
7213The employer can gain nothing by looking over the employees and asking himself,"How little can I get them to take?"
7213The question was already being asked:"How soon will Ford blow up?"
7213Then why flounder around waiting for good business?
7213Then-- are the materials the best or merely the most expensive?
7213Then-- can its complexity and weight be cut down?
7213They say:"What would become of our foreign trade?"
7213Under such conditions why discuss the railroads as a business?
7213WHY BE POOR?
7213WHY CHARITY?
7213WHY NOT ALWAYS HAVE GOOD BUSINESS?
7213We are continually asked:"When will you get to the point of overproduction?
7213We ask a man,"What can you get out of an engine?"
7213Were there more men working with the stage- coaches than are working on the railways?
7213What can be done?
7213What can be fine about paring the necessities of life to the very quick?
7213What can you do to help and heal the world?
7213What difference does it make in the units of energy a man uses in a productive day''s work?
7213What do we mean by high wages, anyway?
7213What does it mean?
7213What good is industry if it be so unskillfully managed as not to return a living to everyone concerned?
7213What have your likes or dislikes to do with the facts?
7213What is the use of putting a tremendous force behind a blunt chisel if a light blow on a sharp chisel will do the work?
7213What is there in life that should hamper normal and wholesome modes of living?
7213What wages should we be able to pay if we trusted a large don''t- care class to their own methods and gait of production?
7213When can a wage be considered adequate?
7213When will there be more cars than people to use them?"
7213Where does the money to make the wheels go round come from?
7213Where or how could any one store half a million cars?
7213Why have only one string to our bow?
7213Why not add it to the load that the machine is designed to carry?
7213Why not two?
7213Why should finance fear?
7213Why should there by any necessity for almsgiving in a civilized community?
7213Why sit down and bemoan the terrible disaster that has befallen the corn market?
7213Why use corn only for hogs and distilleries?
7213Will a billion dollars solve that sort of trouble?
7213Will there not come a point when, regardless of price, people simply will not want anything more than what they already have?
7213Would that have reared another tenor to take his place?
7213You pay the man for his work, but how much does that work owe to his home?
29022''_ Osses?_ d''ye say. 29022 ''_ Osses?_"cried the coachman, turning round upon Mr. Pickwick, with sharp suspicion in his eye.
29022And do you always take your cycles with you when you go for a walk?

358And when you are married, there will probably be an altar from which you will turn to walk back up the aisle?
358Any of you holding that shoffer?
358Anybody at that draw?
358Are YOU coming?
358Are you coming?
358Are you going?
358Are you hurt, Fred?
358Are you sure?
358Bail?
358But if he wanted the servants, why did n''t the watchman do that?
358But-- who was it was telling me? 358 Can I do anything?"
358Can you open the lock with any of these?
358Cheerful, is n''t it?
358Did you get the water?
358Do you hear me?
358Do you know who he is?
358Do you mean my chauffeur?
358Do you mean to tell me he will detain us here?
358Do you mean you do n''t believe me?
358Do you see a light in that lower story?
358Do you think I have no imagination?
358Do you think you make it easy for ME?
358Do you think, Billy,he asked,"you can get us to Cambridge in time for next year''s game?"
358Do you want this man to die? 358 Down that long road in the dark?"
358Entice them? 358 Has he got any friends?"
358Have you an extra coat?
358How dare you threaten me?
358How did you know MY name?
358How far could we walk? 358 How much will the Journal give you for this story of yours?"
358How''d you know this was the Carey house?
358I ca n''t do anything, can I?
358I ca n''t do what?
358I ca n''t do what?
358I like to hear the leaves rustle when you kick them, do n''t you? 358 I thought,"she stammered,"you might want some one?"
358Indeed?
358Let me out,yelled Mr. Schwab,"what you trying to do?
358May I, Miss?
358May we come again?
358Me?
358Mr. Winthrop,the voice called,"are you there?"
358My what?
358Not with us?
358Now, will you promise?
358Oh, for water?
358Pretty near the house, or pretty near here?
358Sent here?
358So, that''s Carey?
358Stop the car?
358That you?
358Then who WAS the other man,he demanded,"the man who ran away?"
358To Uganda?
358To a hospital? 358 WHAT will you do?"
358Was he looking for a telephone when he ran up the elevated steps?
358Was they the Harvoids, sir?
358Well, then, I''ll send for YOU, and there is n''t a police magistrate, nor any of the traffic squad, you ca n''t handle, is there?
358Well,he replied truculently,"and what are you doing here?"
358Well?
358What are they doing now, Fred?
358What are you doing?
358What did you hear?
358What did you think I was going to do?
358What do you think my brother- in- law- to- be has done now?
358What do you think the Journal''ll give me for that story, hey? 358 What do you think?"
358What the devil have you done?
358What you talkin''about?
358What you tryin''to do?
358What''s that?
358What''s what?
358Where are YOU?
358Where are you going for a year?
358Where is Uganda?
358Where the devil did you think I was?
358Where''s your young man?
358Where?
358Which way do you want to go?
358Which way do you want us to go?
358Who are you?
358Who are you?
358Who are? 358 Who was it?"
358Why is he doing that?
358Why not?
358Why should a watchman hide behind a tree?
358Why?
358Why?
358Will you go?
358Will you take me there?
358Wo n''t you come and see us again before you sail for Uganda?
358Yah, you''d like to, would n''t you?
358Yes,asked Winthrop,"WHAT will you do?"
358You are not married yet, are you?
358You coming?
358You do n''t need a letter of introduction to take a bucket of water, do you?
358You do n''t say?
358You know where this man lives?
358You mean you do n''t want to go?
358You mean,said the police- court lawyer cautiously,"you will make it worth my while not to tell the truth about what I saw?"
358You ready there?
358You remember the Carey boys?
358You want to say something? 358 A shadow blacker than the night rose suddenly before them, and a voice asked sternly but quietly:What are you doing here?"
358A troubled voice that carried to the heart of Schwab a promise of protection, said:"Mr. Schwab, would you be more comfortable back here with me?"
358As he was introduced he held each by the hand and elbow and said impressively, and much to the other''s embarrassment,"WHAT name, please?"
358Carey?"
358Could it be that"Billie"Winthrop, the man liked of all men, should love his sister, and-- that she should prefer Ernest Peabody?
358Did n''t they die, and did n''t the birds bury them with leaves?"
358Did you throw water on him?"
358Do we look like second- story workers?"
358Do you hear me?"
358Do you know,"Winthrop demanded fiercely,"that your sister is a prisoner upstairs?"
358Do you think a few blocks''ll make any difference to a telephone?
358Do you think you can stack up your roll against the New York Journal''s, or against Tammany''s?"
358Do you wish to get down?"
358For what money YOU got?
358Hit her up, ca n''t you, Billy?"
358How do you wish us to sit?"
358How far is the well from the house?"
358How have you kept from starving?
358How much is it?"
358How?"
358I did not give my consent, did I?
358If you want me to let her go to the hotel, why do n''t you send to your folks and bail her out?"
358Now about this accident; could you give me the name of the young lady?"
358So, one day more am I deified; who knows but the world may end to- night?''"
358Suppose you two break down in a lonely place?
358This is Mr. Carey''s place, is n''t it?"
358Todd and those boys?"
358What are you stopping for, Fred?"
358What do you think that story''s worth to Tammany, hey?
358What is a Lieutenant- Governor anyway, do you know?
358What is this you want to talk about?"
358Where do you think you are, Fred?"
358Where is he?"
358Where the numbered houses, the passing surface cars, the sweating multitudes of Eighth Avenue?
358Where were now those officers, who in the police courts were at his beck and call?
358Why do n''t you go back to the car with Fred?"
358Why do you think I came in your car?
358Why should I be held by your engagement?
358Will you please go into the library?"
358Would he play golf, or tennis, or pool, or walk over the farm, or just look on?
358You down there?"
358You think you''re damned smart, do n''t you?
358You will keep Winthrop''s car in sight, wo n''t you, Tommy?"
358You''re not afraid to go?"
358asked the girl,"or is it that you are merely brave?"
358demanded Winthrop,"what do you mean?"
358shrieked Sam,"where you going?"
32742''Who said I was afraid?'' 32742 ''Would you be afraid to cross over alone?''
32742A what? 32742 Ai n''t I never goin''to git rid of you?"
32742Ai n''t it the corner of a bill of some kind?
32742And that''s a fact, now, ai n''t it?
32742And what''s to stop it?
32742And you, too, do not know where the money is?
32742And you?
32742Anything new back in the timber?
32742But where are those bills now? 32742 But where did he go?
32742Can we get back to Staretta by night-- with a prisoner, and also three more of our friends who came on before?
32742Chip was along-- why, where is Chip? 32742 Could it have been that fellow Murky?
32742D''you suppose the other boys will start out such a day as this?
32742Did n''t see any blankets or dishes, did you?
32742Did you get lost?
32742Do you mean that having gotten this scoundrel here,indicating Murky,"you do n''t know where his plunder is?"
32742Do you reckon this really is Murky we are following?
32742Do you think both those men were burned to death?
32742Have you been in town? 32742 Have you had anything to eat?"
32742He bane go dis way?
32742He''s hid out that money somewhere-- don''t you reckon?
32742How did you know we were going after Paul and Chip?
32742How far back are you-- that is, your baggage? 32742 How should I know?"
32742Is it tired ye air?
32742Just the same, it was Grandall who was here and the only questions are, what did he come for and where has he went?
32742Lost?
32742Of course we may not see it right now, yet I do n''t doubt but that you and Murky know where it is?
32742On de qviet-- heh? 32742 See what I got?"
32742Then you do n''t_ know_ the_ whole story_ of the robbery?
32742Thought_ I_ was Grandall?
32742Vell, vot you bane goin''to do?
32742W''at de matter wid dat?
32742Well then, how the mischief can you follow it?
32742Well, what you goin''to do?
32742What are you doing in the woods-- fishing, or just traveling for your health?
32742What did I say when Phil found that old suit- case? 32742 What did you see?"
32742What do you mean by that last?
32742What do you mean, my lad?
32742What in the world have you been surveying here in the woods?
32742What the-- the-- what can that be?
32742What would he do then? 32742 What''s he doin''there?
32742What''s that?
32742What''s the use of gittin''discouraged? 32742 Whatever will we bail with?"
32742When will you be ready, Link?
32742Where did you get that?
32742Where do you reckon we are, anyhow?
32742Where is it, Nels?
32742Where''s the car?
32742Who else would it be way out here in this wilderness? 32742 Who gave it you?"
32742Who stayed behind to watch that devil Murky?
32742Why do n''t I git somewhere? 32742 Why in sin wo n''t she get afire?"
32742Why should you? 32742 Why, do n''t you see?
32742Why,said the boy, fearing his short"How should I know?"
32742Will ye quit? 32742 Would n''t you like some bananas?"
32742You ai n''t going to leave us, are you? 32742 You boys bane tired mooch?"
32742You do n''t know a sivy- ear? 32742 You find him yet?"
32742You forget Chip Slider, Mr. Beckley, do n''t you?
32742You know what''s in that bag he threw down to the water?
32742You remember how we lost that trail before on this ridge and only found it when we separated, taking in the lowland on either side?
32742You say you are going along, too?
32742You''re the goods, ai n''t you? 32742 A man all alone, and in an old clubhouse? 32742 Also, where was Chip Slider? 32742 And now that we have the thief and the money--"Are you sure we''ve got the money, sir?
32742And what was of vastly more consequence what had then happened to Mac?
32742And where was Murky?
32742And where were the oars?
32742Anderson?"
32742Anderson?"
32742Anderson?"
32742Billy, will you stay?"
32742Break in the house, slip up to his bed, strike one swift blow and end the whole search for that twenty thousand dollars quickly?
32742But how about poor Chip Slider?
32742But how could Murky have gotten out alive?
32742But what if it should?
32742But what made Paul and Chip in such a hurry?"
32742But why should Murky wish to make Dave or any of them a prisoner?
32742But would their efforts count for anything?
32742But you boys-- are any of your party at the lake now?
32742By the way, kids, where is that chap Slider?
32742CHAPTER V"WHO SAID I WAS AFRAID?"
32742CHAPTER VI IS NO NEWS GOOD NEWS?
32742CHAPTER XII WAS THIS THE END OF MURKY?
32742Can you make it, boys?"
32742Clearing his throat, he asked in a shaky voice:"Is it the money they want to know about?"
32742Did you know he was in the woods?
32742Do n''t you, Link?"
32742End it all so quietly that the one who had played him false would never be conscious of the outcome?
32742For why should there be sivy- ears at all, if they towld what they do be seein''?"
32742Had Dave effected a landing or, in the darkness, had he tried and failed?
32742Had he been enticed away?
32742Had he been taken captive by some unknown enemy?
32742Had n''t ye better go?
32742Has it a name, at all, d''ye know?"
32742Have we, now?"
32742Hear me?"
32742How bad is this situation?"
32742How did he come to leave it here?"
32742How did he get away so all- fired soon-- hey?"
32742How did he suddenly appear apparently out of what the boys supposed to be a solid wall of rock?
32742I want that grub right away-- see?"
32742I''m going with you, see?"
32742I-- I''ll-- where is it?
32742Is n''t that the way of it, Nels?"
32742It was a marked relief to the three chums to find such good cause to believe MacLester was not drowned; but what in the world had become of him?
32742Now what would he be doin''that for?
32742Paul Jones burst forth,"was it the same man we saw before?"
32742Paul Jones chirped protestingly,"do n''t you see what we want?
32742Peekin''through a little popgun on three poles?
32742Replies came back,"Have ye a boat?"
32742Say, Nels, I want to get your wife to cook me up some grub-- on the quiet, see?"
32742Say, it''s up to us to help get back that twenty thousand dollars or what''s left of it-- hey?"
32742Should he break in on him?
32742The man with him-- Murky was the name you used?
32742Then--"Where in the world are we bound for?"
32742There was more"hollering"of hellos, the lad went on, then the voice from over the water asked,"Could ye put me up fer the night?"
32742V''ot for you bane goin''to do?"
32742Was Chip right?
32742Was he any better protected from the increasing rain than they?
32742We kin see that fire yet, ca n''t we?
32742Well, here she is-- see?"
32742What are we going to do next?
32742What did he do with it?"
32742What do ye think of that?"
32742What do you think?"
32742What had we better do?"
32742What have ye done with it?
32742What if someone should come into the house this minute?
32742What in the world happened to you, Dave?
32742What mattered it if Paul did sit down hard in the strange man''s lap?
32742What mattered it if poor Nels, unused to automobiles, was jerked nearly from his seat before he got his great, clumsy legs quite inside?
32742What might be his name thin?"
32742What was it?
32742What''ll Murky do to''em?"
32742What''s the hurry?"
32742What''s your''n thin?"
32742When will you start?"
32742Where had Murky come from?
32742Where is the bundle?"
32742Where was Murky now?
32742Which way should he go?
32742While they waited breathless, there came a confirmation of their fears-- or rather was it their hopes?
32742Who was he?"
32742Who''ll go with me to bring''em?"
32742Why should it make a difference?
32742Will ye help me a wee bit with it?
32742With a decided mixture of feelings Dave said,"Could n''t you do without your baggage until morning?"
32742Wonder where he is now?"
32742Would he ever get out-- rescue himself?
32742Would his feet_ never_ strike bottom?
32742Would their very lives be safe in this small space?
32742Would you know his voice?"
32742Ye will, will ye?"
32742Yet how had the slow and heavy craft broken from its mooring?
32742and"Could ye not kindly row across fer me?"
32742how''d you like to take a run and jump off the dock?"
53390''How do you account for it all?'' 53390 Able to make repairs, and to navigate, but plumb locoed for all that, eh?"
53390Am I still under the influence of those glass balls?
53390An invitation to death?
53390And Pryne-- what''s become of him?
53390And got away?
53390And not do anything about that paper you got out of the sailor''s hat?
53390And then lost your nerve and ducked while Motor Matt and his chum were looking at you? 53390 Are we halfway to the old sugar camp, Pryne?"
53390Are you hurt, Joe?
53390Better what?
53390Brought in? 53390 Bullet?"
53390But suppose Tsan Ti is working some game of his own? 53390 But why should they, pard?
53390But, if the mandarin is so hungry to have us help him, what''s the reason he''s making himself absent? 53390 But, illustrious sirs, shall we return to the hotel on the mountain top?
53390Ca n''t you read it?
53390Ca n''t you see he thinks we''re crazy?
53390Did any one come with Motor Matt, Pryne?
53390Did n''t you bring enough to pay a good price for the ruby?
53390Did you find the Eye of Buddha?
53390Did you think,went on Grattan,"that you could, single- handed, take the ruby from me by force?"
53390Do n''t you_ sabe_ that?
53390Follow them? 53390 Goldstein and Bunce with you?"
53390Goldstein,said he sternly,"how much money have you in that satchel?"
53390Had n''t I better drive?
53390Had we better?
53390Hard to cut what up?
53390Have I the understanding,he asked,"that you will be of help to my distress?"
53390Have n''t Grattan and I taken chances, Goldstein?
53390Have you any notion that the chink we''re looking for has lammed into us in this violent fashion, right here on the mountainside?
53390How big is der Eye?
53390How did those fellows manage to find their way here?
53390How did we get here?
53390How did you come to pick_ me_ out for an assistant?
53390How do you account for it?
53390How do you feel about now?
53390How do you know those outside are your friends?
53390How long have you known Grattan, Pryne?
53390How much did he have to put up for that wrecked motor car, Sam?
53390How was I to know vat der ruby was worth? 53390 Hurt?"
53390I beg your pardon, sir,said Matt, halting beside the chair,"but have you been here long?"
53390I have lost much money by der decline in----"How much have you in the satchel?
53390I thought you knew how to drive a car?
53390I wonder if you know what you''re up against?
53390Is that one of the two men who stole the ruby?
53390Is that you?
53390Is the sugar camp a safe place?
53390Is-- is that a fact?
53390No matter whether the mandarin shows up or not?
53390Of what use is money, interesting youth, to a mandarin who has received the yellow cord? 53390 Oh, ho,"roared the other,"so that''s yer lay, my hearty?
53390Or did you think you could talk me out of it?
53390Pigeon''s blood, yes?
53390Remember how the Eye of Buddha was stolen? 53390 Say, pard, is that red thing the Eye of Buddha?"
53390Seen anythin''of a bit of headgear hereabouts?
53390Shall we turn the trick for him, pard?
53390She is a true Oriental, eh?
53390Suppose we get our wheels, go back to Catskill, and then take the next boat down the river? 53390 Suppose you never find it?"
53390Surprised, are you?
53390Then Tsan Ti is n''t here?
53390Then what makes you think Bunce and Grattan will get away?
53390Then who was he?
53390This is the Mountain House, is it?
53390Tsan Ti?
53390Waal, now, ai n''t I tickled? 53390 Warning?"
53390Well, what''s the next move, pard? 53390 Well, yes,"admitted the cowboy, going blank again,"Are you and I locoed, Matt, or what?"
53390What appears to be the trouble?
53390What are the circumstances?
53390What are the prospects for capturing Bunce and Grattan, officer?
53390What became of Grattan and Bunce?
53390What became of that satchel, Joe?
53390What do you know about the Eye of Buddha?
53390What do you make out of it, Matt?
53390What do you make out, pard?
53390What do you suppose it can be?
53390What is he talking about? 53390 What is it?"
53390What sort of a dream was it?
53390What was that name?
53390What you going to do when you reach where you''re going, with all that gang against you?
53390What''re we going to do when we overhaul him? 53390 What''s become of the chink that hired this car?
53390What''s come over you, anyhow? 53390 What''s der matter?"
53390What''s that for?
53390What''s that to do with a breakneck stop like we just made?
53390What''s that?
53390What''s the layout?
53390What''s to pay, pard?
53390What?
53390What_ ails_ you? 53390 Where are we?"
53390Where could that other one have come from?
53390Where did you learn to drive an automobile, Tsan Ti?
53390Where else?
53390Where is Grattan?
53390Where is der feller that wanted to steal my money?
53390Where is the other one, Pryne?
53390Where''d he get the thing?
53390Where''d you corral so much good pidgin, Tsan?
53390Where''s Pryne?
53390Where''s he from?
53390Where, oh, where, did you get that?
53390Who were those fellows, Motor Matt?
53390Who''s there?
53390Who''s there?
53390Why did n''t he use the glass balls and take the note away from us while we were down and out?
53390Why did you leave them in Purling?
53390Why do n''t you follow them?
53390Why should he want to do that?
53390Why were you coming here to see me?
53390Ye''d rather be sent to Davy Jones''locker, I suppose?
53390You are here to be of aid to the unfortunate mandarin, are you not, illustrious sirs?
53390You do n''t think--and here McGlory assumed a tragic look--"that Tsan would go off into the timber and use that yellow cord, do you?"
53390You picked up the trail?
53390You say the man from below passed_ two_ Chinamen talking near the car?
53390You''re from up the mountain, are you?
53390You''re planning on that, are you? 53390 _ Thinks_ we''re crazy?"
53390Am I not right, honorable friend?"
53390And how can we help you if you are not open and aboveboard with us?"
53390And the other hatchet boy that brought the yellow cord?
53390And what''s it all about?
53390Anyhow, what do you care?
53390Are ye sailin''in company with that chink we passed a ways back on our course?"
53390Are you going to that Purling place and ask for Pryne at the general store?"
53390Are you the fellows?"
53390Are you willing to talk sense?
53390But did he let us get our hands on the coin?
53390But-- but,"and Matt''s voice wavered,"how did we get here?"
53390Button, button, who''s got the button?
53390By the way, where_ is_ Goldstein?"
53390Could it be possible that the mandarin, cast down by his latest accident, was on the point of carrying out the mandate of the regent?
53390Do you know?"
53390Do you reckon old One Eye has found out, yet, how you juggled the notes on him?"
53390Do you think the_ hombre_ was this Grattan sharp?"
53390Do you?"
53390Grattan?"
53390Have you any notion he coaxed the mandarin away on important business?"
53390Here in these hills is where Rip Van Winkle went to sleep, ai n''t it?
53390How could we have missed it?"
53390How is this?"
53390How much farther have we got to go?"
53390How much farther is it yet?"
53390I reckon, though, you''ll want to stay here and give him a chance to blow in?"
53390If he''d known we had the note, why did n''t he stop and palaver about it?"
53390Is it well, excellent one?"
53390It sounds flat enough, and if the webfoot tells us we''re crazy, and gives us the laugh, what''re we going to do?"
53390Kinder keep an eye on it, will you?"
53390Make an offhand demand for the Eye of Buddha?
53390Noble and affluent sir, will it be insult should I offer one thousand dollars and expenses if I get my wish for your most remarkable help?
53390Now bear down on your soft pedal, will you?"
53390Now, if all that''s true, then where, in the name of the great hocus- pocus, is the fat Chinaman?"
53390Otherwise, how is it these backsets keep happening in one, two, three order?
53390Pryne?"
53390Say, did n''t we come all the way from Michigan to help him?
53390Shall we go on to the hotel?
53390Shall we now proceed down the mountain in pursuit of the sailor?"
53390Suppose One- Eye do n''t think enough of his cap to come back for it?"
53390Think chink number two was Kien Lung with another yellow cord, Matt?"
53390Was n''t it clever the way I put on them scarecrow fixin''s in the cornfield?"
53390Was that a rhinecaboo or the real thing?"
53390We were n''t going more than a hundred and twenty miles an hour when we hit that tree, so how could I possibly have suffered any damage?
53390Well, let me know about that, will you?"
53390Well, what are you intending to do?
53390What do you say to a rest?"
53390What do you say, Matt?
53390What excuse was there for such a deception?
53390What is it to you whether them hoodlums git away or not?"
53390What kind of a brain- storm are we going through,_ any_how?"
53390What says the great Confucius?
53390What was the good of paying any attention to that letter, in the first place?"
53390What you looking at that wheel for, Matt?"
53390What''ll happen?
53390What''re you side- stepping for about a little thing like that?
53390What''s become of Tsan Ti?
53390What''s jocosity, Matt?"
53390What''s that on the hat ribbon?"
53390What''s the answer?"
53390What''s the good of all this strain we''ve taken upon ourselves?
53390What''s the good?
53390What''s the use of brains, pard, if you do n''t use''em?"
53390Where are the other four?"
53390Where are the other two?"
53390Where in the world was McGlory?
53390Where next?"
53390Where was Tsan Ti?
53390While Matt was running down the Eye of Buddha for him, what was the Chinaman, to whom the recovery of the ruby meant so much, doing?
53390Who''re you?"
53390Who''s in there with you?"
53390Why did he throw the glass balls at us?
53390Why did n''t they come?
53390Why did you vanish from the mountainside after we had been left to chase the one- eyed sailor?
53390Why is n''t he here?"
53390_ When_ will we ever acquire a proper amount of horse sense for a couple of our size?
53390he muttered,"or is that really Tsan Ti coming this way?"
53390sneered Jackson,"what do you know about cars?"
38560Anyway, it_ is_ true, and wo n''t we have the niftiest time ever?
38560Aw, how''s a fellow to sit still when a thing like that''s on the way? 38560 Ca n''t you make it go faster?"
38560Did they desert you, old fellow?
38560Do n''t they?
38560Do n''t you remember, fellows, how we laughed when Mr. Hollis told us about her the other night? 38560 Do you mean to say that those monster snakes are afraid of such tiny things?"
38560Does n''t it almost seem as if she were thanking us?
38560Everything is sure going our way this year,mingled with"How did you manage to get the stone without the snake hearing you?"
38560Gee, Bert,exclaimed Frank, excitedly, but in a low voice,"you''re not going to let them pass us, are you?"
38560Gee,said Jim,"how do the rest get on without them?"
38560Go on and tell us, Shorty; why_ is_ it that an automobile smokes?
38560Got a bite, Shorty?
38560Have you any suggestions to make, fellows?
38560Have you found a good place for camp?
38560Heap of good that does us,grumbled Shorty,"but say,"as he turned to Bert suspiciously,"what sort of thing was that you called us?"
38560Here, some of you fellows, run back and bring me all the hay you can carry from that barn, will you? 38560 How did you come to think about it?"
38560How did you get it?
38560How do they make a living, anyway?
38560How long do you think we can live without eating?
38560How long is the track that you propose using?
38560How many kids are there in the asylum?
38560How many of us can ride in it at a time?
38560How would a week from today suit you?
38560If she can travel like that over these roads, what''ll she do on the race track? 38560 Is she in first- class condition, Bert?"
38560It certainly did look like the''last days of Pompeii''for a few seconds, did n''t it?
38560Let me see, that will be Tuesday, wo n''t it? 38560 Let''s see,"said Dick,"you''d run away from a boa- constrictor, would n''t you?"
38560Manufacture it,had come a chorus of surprised protest,"how in time can you manufacture wind?"
38560My which? 38560 Now how are you going to thank me for it?"
38560Say, Tom,he called after a few minutes,"bring me grandfather, will you?"
38560Say, fellows,he called,"how about making some cornbread and having a real bang- up meal?
38560Say, fellows,said he,"that bread that we cast on the waters on our way home from the doctor''s the other day sure did come back, did n''t it?"
38560Say, you were n''t going without me, were you?
38560See those big stones over there? 38560 Seems as if it would never come, does n''t it, fellows?"
38560Speaking of eating,said Shorty, sniffing the air inquiringly,"do any of you fellows smell cucumbers?"
38560That may look all right in print,grumbled Bob,"but how are you going to do it?"
38560That''s all very well,said Jim,"but the question is, how are you going to do it?
38560The way you faced that crowd was the pluckiest thing I ever saw, Mr. Hollis,said Bert;"but suppose it had come to a showdown?"
38560This beats lying around on the grass and whistling for a wind, does n''t it?
38560Well, say, is n''t the old''Red Scout''about the greatest automobile that ever turned a wheel?
38560Well, there''s no harm done, is there?
38560Well, what does that jawbreaker mean?
38560Well,Bert had replied,"if you feel that way about it, why not manufacture a little wind of our own?"
38560What are tire chains, Bert, and what are they for?
38560What are you going to do with the skin now that you''ve got it?
38560What color is it?
38560What do you mean by that?
38560What do you think we''d better do, Bert; make a run for camp or hunt shelter around here?
38560What does it look like?
38560What made them go?
38560What shall I do, what shall I do?
38560What speed?
38560What time is it, anyway, Dick?
38560What''s the best way to get them here?
38560What''s the matter, Shorty? 38560 What''s to prevent us from piling into the auto and taking a spin?
38560What?
38560What_ was_ the matter, Bert?
38560When''s it going to be?
38560Where is it?
38560Where were the horses?
38560Who can tell a good ghost story?
38560Who''d ever thought we''d have the luck to get it?
38560Who''s that going along the road ahead?
38560Why ca n''t we have it to- morrow?
38560Why did n''t you tell us?
38560Why do they call them that?
38560Why do they go so fast?
38560Why is it that an automobile smokes?
38560Why would n''t you sing for us?
38560Why, it''s just one mile, is n''t it Ralph?
38560Yes, I can see no objection to that,replied the latter,"what day shall we have the race?"
38560You do n''t suppose they keep this all to themselves, do you? 38560 You will help us out, wo n''t you, Bert?"
38560''Are n''t you coming down?
38560''Did he remember that the wild animal show was to have arrived in the town that day?''
38560A volley of questions overwhelmed him:"How large is it?"
38560Are they all females?"
38560Are you asleep over there?"
38560Are you quite sure you have nothing to do but that?"
38560Are you ready?"
38560As Tom and Bert were dropping off to sleep that night, Tom murmured drowsily,"Say, Bert, did we or did n''t we have a bully time to- day, eh?"
38560At this instant a shout came from Bob Ward''s tent:"Say, fellows, have any of you seen my scarfpin?
38560Bert''s"Wo n''t you sing something for us, Phil?"
38560But"would they ever reach that level roadway?"
38560Can you think of anything?"
38560Could it be only a few hours since they had gone upstairs, chatting cheerfully together?
38560Cries of"Is n''t it great?"
38560Do n''t they enter into the calculation?"
38560Do n''t you suppose we might arrange to stay until the frost comes?"
38560Do you understand, Beauty?"
38560Every once in a while they make up their minds to emigrate and then they fly in swarms of millions----""What?"
38560Finally he said,"Well, do you give it up?"
38560For a few moments excitement reigned, and cries of"Hurrah for Ben,""good for us,""is n''t he a beauty?"
38560Had everybody gone crazy?
38560Had they seen a band of gipsies going by?
38560Has the little ducking you indulged in this morning addled your brains?
38560He had just made himself comfortable when an irritable voice hailed him from the direction of Tom''s cot:"That you, Bert?
38560Hollis?"
38560How about the carpenter ants, the soldier ants, the foraging ants?
38560How could they do that without wings?"
38560How did you ever manage to get away with it?"
38560How do you boys feel about it?"
38560How long do you think the race ought to be?"
38560How were they to get there?
38560How would you like to have a test of speed?"
38560I know we''d be willing if you would, would n''t we, boys?"
38560If that were the only thing in question I would call the race won just now, but how about the machines themselves?
38560Is n''t he a beauty?"
38560Is n''t it great?"
38560Is n''t it, old fellow?"
38560Is that perfectly clear?"
38560Just before he got into bed Bert put his hand on the dog''s head, saying,"I guess we''re going to be good friends are n''t we, old fellow?"
38560Like it?"
38560Of course we would have to make a good many trips, but what of that?
38560On the way back he passed the wagon and hailed Tom with a"How are you getting along, old man?"
38560Say, fellows,"as the truth dawned upon him,"do you think that Arthur can be hurt so that he ca n''t get to us?"
38560Shall we take him along, fellows?"
38560Still half asleep, he snapped:"Aw, why do n''t you fellows quit your kidding?
38560Suddenly Tom, who, as usual, was riding in the seat beside Bert, leaned over and said,"Say, Bert, do you suppose she would take Dobb''s hill?"
38560The boys laughed, and Tom asked:"Where do they get their name from?
38560The fellow driving it laughed at this sally, and shouted,"Hey, youse, why do n''t you get a horse?"
38560The tension was broken by Sam''s asking:"What does that mean,''Cast thy bread upon the waters''--and how can it return?"
38560Then the judge turned to them----"What are your names?"
38560Then with a cry of"All right back there?"
38560There is comfort in that, for his poor wife must be safe as yet, but what is the tiger doing?
38560There was a chorus of excited exclamations,"Will we?"
38560There was a moment of surprised silence and then a chorus of voices:"Then you can sing?"
38560This is just the book for the active youth who has got beyond the period when he asks,"How is it done?"
38560This provoked a laugh and broke the tension, and a moment afterward a scouting party from the camp hailed them boisterously:"Where are those fish?"
38560Tom told as much of the story as he knew and then, turning to Arthur, asked,"Did Don really find you there?
38560Tom, chancing to look at him, exclaimed,"What''s the matter, Bert?"
38560Under the cheering influence of this feast even Bob Ward forgot his grudge of the morning, and when he shouted,"What''s the matter with Wilson?"
38560Understand?"
38560Want to try it?"
38560Was ever day more beautiful?
38560Was ever sky more blue?
38560Was ever sunshine more bright?
38560Was it a joke, a parable, a fairy story?
38560Was it possible that the gipsies had stolen Don also?
38560Was it rain?
38560Was n''t this too much of a good thing?
38560We wo n''t kick against fate, though, for not smashing our car for us, will we?"
38560What about the king?
38560What are you doing awake at this unearthly hour?"
38560What boy would not rise to the topmost heights of enthusiasm at the thought of an automobile in which he was to have a personal interest?
38560What can be keeping him?"
38560What can he be doing?
38560What can he do?
38560What do you say boys, to giving up one whole day of this vacation and make those little ones think they have had a glimpse of heaven?"
38560What do you say, Bob?
38560What do you say, fellows, shall we try it and show these people around here just what our machine can do?"
38560What do you say, fellows?
38560What do you think of that?"
38560What do you think?"
38560What do_ you_ say, fellows?"
38560What had happened?
38560What if it were their last day in camp?
38560What if the cunning tiger had crept silently down the stairs into the room below?
38560What should he do?
38560What should he do?
38560What should they name their auto?
38560What was the matter with Dick?
38560What would Mr. Hollis think of them if the other boys were victorious?
38560What would the boys who had such blind confidence in them and the"Red Scout"do or say if the"Gray Ghost"won?
38560What''s the use of getting excited about things on a hot day like this?
38560When had he last seen the collie?
38560When the auto swung into the circle of fire light and came to an abrupt halt, he said:"What has been detaining you, boys?
38560Where is he?"
38560Who would be able to run it?
38560Whoever heard of cucumbers in the woods?"
38560Why do they call them gipsies?"
38560Why is everything so deadly quiet?
38560Why not?
38560You have n''t seen our car yet, have you?"
38560he exclaimed,"what''s the matter with the old machine, anyway, Bert?
38560interrupted Frank,"do you mean to say they fly?
53533''I wonder is he dead?'' 53533 ''Will I fire at it?''
53533''You know your orders, do n''t you?'' 53533 About what time was the car stolen?"
53533Ai n''t dat a mos''''sprisin''purceedin''? 53533 Ai n''t dat scan''lous?"
53533And you are a prisoner?
53533And you lost it while I was chasing you?
53533Are those motor cycles the ones that belong to Martin, that were stolen from us and that we bled a hundred and fifty apiece for?
53533Blue car? 53533 But how do you know Tsan Ti is on that train?"
53533But what can Grattan do? 53533 Ca n''t you be a man?
53533Can you drive a motor car, Matt?
53533Did Grattan and Bunce capture the other car?
53533Did n''t Grattan search him?
53533Did n''t I tell you? 53533 Did n''t you hear what was said when the motor boys passed us?"
53533Do n''t I look the part?
53533Do you know positively that Grattan and Pardo are following the car?
53533Do you think Tige can watch two prisoners?
53533Does dat''ar thing b''long tuh yo'', boss?
53533Generous and agreeable friend,spoke up Tsan Ti,"did you succeed in capturing Sam Wing?"
53533Grattan and Pardo?
53533Has he been up tuh somefin''dat he had n''t ort?
53533Has he told you about the ruby, Tsan Ti?
53533Has n''t he got the ruby?
53533Have you a knife, illustrious youth?
53533Hocused it?
53533How are we going to get to Gardenville?
53533How can you tell the difference?
53533How did that happen? 53533 How did you happen to find me?"
53533How far down the road am I to go, pard?
53533How much of a start has the Chinaman got?
53533How was it lost?
53533How you savvy?
53533How, in the name o''Davy Jones,he cried, his gaze returning to Matt,"do you happen to be cruisin''in these waters?"
53533How?
53533I''m ready,was the prompt response,"but will we go?"
53533If Grattan and Pardo are really following you,said Matt,"why could n''t you go back down the road, stop the car, and pretend you had a breakdown?"
53533If we take the_ Iris_----?
53533If what?
53533Is n''t the theft of the ruby enough to send you to jail?
53533Is that the New York man''s automobile, Joe?
53533Is that the idol''s eye, Matt?
53533Is this what ye call treatin''a feller white? 53533 Jee- whillikins, mister,"said he,"what''s that slant- eyed heathen been up to, hey?
53533Looks purty meachin'', do n''t he?
53533Lost it?
53533Lost, eh?
53533Lost?
53533Matter- of- fact youth,remarked the mandarin earnestly,"do you not realize how strange events happen swiftly in the wake of the Eye of Buddha?
53533Matter?
53533Maybe,suggested McGlory,"I''d better head the car t''other way?
53533Not safe?
53533Oh, friend of my friend,wheezed Tsan Ti, passing his gaze to McGlory,"was it you who shouted?"
53533Oh, that''s what your chum did, eh?
53533Remember Monte Cristo like that, pard?
53533Say, pard,he added, turning to Matt,"do you know a spark- plug from the carburetor?"
53533Shocked?
53533Somebody want us to run an air ship or go to sea in a submarine?
53533Something else on your mind?
53533Square?
53533Suppose you and Gridly get into the tonneau,suggested Matt,"and leave Boggs, and me, and the dog to hide in the bushes at the edge of the marsh?
53533That''s possible, of course; but the chances for success, though slight, are worth waiting and working for, do n''t you think? 53533 Then may I request of you the Eye of Buddha?"
53533This is your work, is it, Motor Matt?
53533Want to take the breath all out of me?
53533Was n''t Tsan Ti on the train?
53533Was one of the thieves supposed to be a sailor with a green patch over one eye?
53533Well?
53533What are the facts, Martin?
53533What are you doing out here in the woods?
53533What are you thinking of, McGlory?
53533What can I do for you, Neb?
53533What chance is there of our receiving a letter from the mandarin? 53533 What cheering thoughts can I possibly have?"
53533What did the other thief look like?
53533What did you find, Neb?
53533What did you jump onto me for like this? 53533 What difference does that make, Joe?"
53533What good will that do?
53533What is he roped for?
53533What is it?
53533What is the fault with my plan, generous sir?
53533What luck, Zeke?
53533What shall we do with Sam Wing?
53533What sort of a trap?
53533What sort of clue is taking us to Gardenville?
53533What yew goin''to do, friend?
53533What you yellin''for? 53533 What''re you doin''here?
53533What''s that place ahead there?
53533What''s that you say, Bib? 53533 What''s the matter with you, Grattan?"
53533What''s the matter, Joe?
53533What''s the matter?
53533What''s the matter?
53533What''s the number?
53533What''s the use of chasing the chink?
53533What''s to be done with the two Chinamen?
53533What''s to pay?
53533What''ve I done that ye can send me to the brig for? 53533 Where and how was the ruby lost?"
53533Where did you and Grattan come from, Bunce, that you were placed so handily for entrapping McGlory and the mandarin?
53533Where did you find Joe and Martin? 53533 Where did you have it?"
53533Where does the clue lead?
53533Where have you been since you took the ruby?
53533Where is it?
53533Where is the chink?
53533Where was the car you and Bunce stole from the Catskill garage?
53533Where were you,went on the cowboy,"when you hailed the man in the white car?"
53533Where''s Tsan Ti and the ruby?
53533Where''s the pocket, Bunce?
53533Who can tell of that? 53533 Who was the_ hombre_, Grattan?"
53533Who''s it from?
53533Whut''s dat he''s er- sayin''tuh me?
53533Why did n''t he send the thief over the road?
53533Why did n''t you take his knife away from him? 53533 Why is n''t it safe?"
53533Why not turn him loose, an''then follow him?
53533Why not?
53533Why not?
53533Why not?
53533Why not?
53533Would n''t this rattle your spurs, Matt?
53533Wrong in the upper story, ai n''t he?
53533You are sure there were no more than two of the thieves?
53533You chasin''dat''ar Chinymum, boss?
53533You found that red jewel at the edge of the bridge, you say, Neb?
53533You had the ruby when you were at the spring?
53533You know how to manage a motor cycle?
53533You think Grattan has gone to Gardenville to intercept Tsan Ti?
53533You took it from the mandarin, did n''t you?
53533You''re the man who was on duty when the automobile was stolen?
53533You''re to get five hundred dollars for recovering the car?
53533_ Can_ he?
53533_ Now_ what? 53533 Ai n''t dat fine? 53533 And why were you chasing him?
53533Any one around?
53533Are Motor Matt and Pard McGlory mixed up in that''we''?"
53533Are you going down the river with me, pard, or have I got to go alone?"
53533Are you going?"
53533But just answer me this: What''s the good of escaping?
53533But what sort of a trap is it?"
53533But which way am I to go?"
53533By golly, whaffur kind ob way is dat tuh treat an ole moke lak me?"
53533Ca n''t a heathen like you let a Christian sleep?
53533Can you take me to this''pocket,''as you call it?"
53533Did n''t you ever stop to think, Martin, that, off and on, the motor boys might have troubles of their own?"
53533Did you see a blue car?"
53533Do n''t you know Matt, that whenever you dream about a person with red hair, trouble''s on the pike and you''ve got up your little red flag?"
53533Do you know him, Motor Matt?"
53533Do you want to take the mandarin with you in the roadster, Matt?"
53533Face the music, ca n''t you?
53533Have you any notion which way that car ought to go?"
53533Have you hid the lantern, Bunce?"
53533How could he, a miserable bazaar man, fight the demons?
53533How in blazes did old Tsan Ti get the thing back to us?
53533How much do you think that ruby''s worth?"
53533How_ could_ he have returned it when, as Matt and McGlory believed, he was at that very moment hurrying to get out of the country and escape the law?
53533Huh?"
53533I think it would work, pard, but who''s to hide in the tonneau?
53533If you''re so plumb certain he wo n''t write, why not promise?"
53533Is not my present distress sufficient, without any of your unwelcome attentions?
53533Is that fat chink the one that come from Chiny to get holt of the idol''s eye?"
53533Is the matter clear, esteemed friend?"
53533Is we squar''now, boss?"
53533Look there, will yew?"
53533Martin?"
53533Maybe you''ve heard of Motor Matt?"
53533Nervy, but it wo n''t wash.""Where''d the car fall into your hands if you ai n''t the ones that stole it?"
53533Ready for New York in the morning, Joe?"
53533Say,_ did n''t_ I?
53533Some remarkable now, ai n''t it?"
53533Tell me, my lad, are you and Motor Matt looking for Tsan Ti?"
53533The Confederate seemed to read me through, for he said:"''Well, Yank, have you got enough water?''
53533The question now was, did a similar waterway exist at the northern end?
53533Think we''re far enough?"
53533What I want to know is, where have you and the mandarin come from?
53533What d''ye say, mate?
53533What good is it going to do you?"
53533What happened to you after Sam Wing stole the ruby?"
53533What have you been doing since we went two different ways from the spring?"
53533What if his ancestors were regarding him, looking out of the vastness of the life to come with stern disapproval?
53533What is dat thing, anyhow?
53533What more can you do to make me miserable?"
53533What sort of a car was it that was stolen?"
53533What were Sam Wing''s forefathers thinking of this act of vile treachery?
53533What''s happened to them?"
53533What''s hit him now?"
53533What''s the fat Chinaman doin''?"
53533What''s the trouble with it?"
53533What''s the word?"
53533Where are they now?
53533Where are we bound for, gentlemen?"
53533Where are you, pard?"
53533Where did you pick up the mandarin, Grattan?"
53533Where''s Matt?"
53533Where''s your nerve, Pardo?"
53533Which is the mandarin that got robbed of the ruby?"
53533Who was Sam Wing that he should defy these ten thousand demons of misfortune?
53533Whoever thought this could happen?
53533Why did Tsan Ti get off the train at Gardenville when he was going to Buffalo?
53533Why not crank up the automobile''s engine and rush down the ravine?
53533Why should Grattan have returned the box to Matt?
53533Will it insult you if I offer, of my goodness of heart, five hundred dollars?"
53533Will you answer a civil question, my lad?"
53533Will you go along?"
53533You know these hills?"
53533You takee money, lettee Sam Wing go?"
53533You''re the boy to look out for Number One, eh?
53533You, for one, of course, but who else?"
53533asked Matt,"the one that was stolen from Martin''s garage last night?''
53533chuckled McGlory,"what sort of a day''s work would you call this, pard?
53533he shouted at last,"is this a dream, or the real thing?
50941''But what about Matt?'' 50941 After I take your car to the garage,"said Matt,"perhaps you could tell me where I can find Mr. Daniel Lorry?"
50941Ai n''t you going along with me?
50941And what did you tell him?
50941And what''s the other river coming into Mendota Lake on the side across from the city?
50941Any objection to color?
50941Are you a chauffeur?
50941Are you a stranger in this part of the country?
50941Are you-- can it be that you are the young man called Motor Matt?
50941But how did she get here?
50941But what has all this got to do with our being here?
50941But what''s that to us? 50941 But why did n''t he want to come home?"
50941But wo n''t the other car come?
50941Can you jump?
50941Can-- can I see it?
50941Did he go down to the coast?
50941Did you fix things up in Madison?
50941Did you hail us?
50941Did you know Miss Lorry?
50941Do you know anything about a motor boat, Pete?
50941Do you know what you''re doing, John?
50941Do you know where my two friends are?
50941Does yo''think yo''kin stand dat, boss?
50941From San Francisco, eh?
50941Goin''to take it or leave it?
50941Going to take it?
50941He d he bin across hisself?
50941How can I get hold of Pickerel Pete?
50941How did Ping know where to send her?
50941How did he know of this here pass then?
50941How do I know?
50941How do you mean?
50941How do you suppose he knew that, Motor Matt?
50941How much does Ah git?
50941I just wrote Lorry that I was a detective, and did n''t think it wise to put my information over my own name, see? 50941 I suppose his folks were all cut up about that, eh?"
50941If they were here a few minutes ago,went on Merton,"why are n''t they here now?"
50941If you''ve got such high standards, why do n''t you live up to''em?
50941Is he well? 50941 Is that McGlory?"
50941Is that him on that forward deck, Ross?
50941Is that other car close upon us?
50941Is this your car?
50941Just heard it?
50941Meanin''which, George?
50941Now what?
50941Ollie?
50941Reconciliation?
50941Say, boss, do you reckon we''re ever going to find Roger''s dad?
50941So your dad tried it?
50941Suppose you do get rid of the rope, how''ll it help you? 50941 Surprise party, eh?"
50941The boy''s got to come here, sooner or later, and what is he to gain by delaying the matter? 50941 Then he''ll be mad when he comes here and finds you did n''t get the money, wo n''t he?"
50941Then, if this boat was launched in Lake Monona, it could enter the Canal over by Winnequa, cross into Mendota Lake, and proceed up the Yahara?
50941To see me?
50941Was Ping thoughtful enough to send all the stuff that belonged to her?
50941Was it Motor Matt who lit that candle, we asked ourselves, or Big John''s pals? 50941 Well, how''d a colored boy do?
50941What ails you?
50941What am I to do, Ross?
50941What are we going to do, Ross?
50941What are you asking about Ollie for?
50941What are you doing this for?
50941What are you going to do for George, uncle?
50941What are you up to, Ross?
50941What business is it of yours, young man?
50941What can I do?
50941What can you expect of a fellow workin''like this in the dark?
50941What do you reckon you are to do?
50941What do you want me to cast off the painter for? 50941 What for?"
50941What happened?
50941What has Big John done,Matt asked,"to get Mr. Lorry down on me?"
50941What have you been doin'', Ross?
50941What in the world''s the matter, Ethel?
50941What is it?
50941What sort of a way was that for a man to treat his only son?
50941What sort of looking fellow is he?
50941What was that for?
50941What was the name of that chug- boat the Chink won in''Frisco, and that Motor Matt used in windin''us up?
50941What''s that queer- looking little plain halfway down?
50941What''s that?
50941What''s the matter, Miss Lorry?
50941What''s this?
50941What''s your game?
50941What''s-- what''s the matter?
50941What''ve you found?
50941What-- did that old hairy elephant chase yer?
50941Where are you, Matt?
50941Where is he?
50941Where''ll we hike?
50941Where''s the Czar of Russia?
50941Where''s the boat from?
50941Where''s the colored boy that was here with the boat?
50941Who is your authority for the statement that I was hand- and- glove with the three men who robbed George?
50941Who sent her?
50941Who was it?
50941Who''d ever have dreamed my haughty, high- and- mighty cousin would ever have come to the scratch in such a way? 50941 Who''s the shipper?"
50941Who- o are you- u- u?
50941Who- o are you- u- u?
50941Whut''s dat Ah hear? 50941 Whut''s dat?"
50941Why is the cave safer?
50941Why not lay low till_ they_ get out?
50941Why not leave the_ Sprite_ here,suggested McGlory,"and hike for Madison along the wagon road?"
50941Will Big John do anythin''to even up with Motor Matt for the way we was treated in''Frisco Bay?
50941Will you give me a ride into Madison?
50941Would n''t that rattle your spurs?
50941Yo''ll be back in er houah, hones''?
50941Yo''s de fellah whut''s a- wantin''tuh hiah me?
50941You do n''t mean to say you''ve seen him?
50941You got feet and hands, have n''t you? 50941 You had n''t any notion I followed you all the way from''Frisco, on the same train, had you?
50941You know George Lorry, all right, eh, Ollie?
50941You know George?
50941You know the lakes, too?
50941You say that man tried to rob you?
50941You were n''t expectin''to meet a couple of old friends, eh, Motor Matt? 50941 You were walking into town, you say?"
50941You''ll be careful of the boat, will you?
50941You''ll not go on?
50941You''re the one that started young Lorry, eh?
50941_ Sprite._"Well, would n''t this knock you stiff? 50941 Ai n''t he a surprise party, though?
50941And did the yaller mug come with her?"
50941And for what?
50941And how had he known that Matt was going to pass that particular point on the Waunakee road that morning?
50941Are you agreeable?"
50941Are you willin''?"
50941But do you think I rigged myself out in different clothes and followed you clear from''Frisco just in the hope of getting that money?
50941But where''s my son?
50941Ca n''t he realize how worried all of us are?"
50941Did n''t you tell me that Motor Matt usually does what he says he''ll do?''
50941Dishyer''s jest de time fer spookerous doin''s, an''I''d radder be home in mah baid wif mah head kivered, so''st---- Golly, whut''s dat?"
50941Do you know of any one I could get to pilot me around?"
50941Do you know what I could do with you?"
50941Doan''you- all know whut a phenomegon is?"
50941Eh?"
50941For helping George recover the ten thousand dollars, and for helping to bring George back to Madison?
50941Had he broken away from McGlory, and had McGlory gone in pursuit of him?
50941Had he suddenly made up his mind that he could not trust Matt to make peace with his father?
50941Had his failure to return alarmed the two boys?
50941Has he come back from San Francisco?"
50941Have I paid my debts?
50941How far are we from town, by the way?"
50941How was that voyage to end for Motor Matt?
50941I wonder if Uncle Dan is going to do the right thing by George, or make as big a fool of himself as George did?"
50941If you want to put your boat in Fourth Lake, why do n''t you launch it there instead of taking it to Third Lake?"
50941Is that navigable for a boat drawing two or three feet of water?"
50941Is that right?
50941Is there one aboard?"
50941Is this the old_ Sprite_ you used in''Frisco Bay?"
50941Lorry?"
50941Mebby Ah better go along wif yo''en see dot yo''doan''git lost?"
50941Now, at a good deal of inconvenience and expense to myself, I have come-- and why should n''t I see your father?"
50941One false move would prove his ruin, and----""By gad,"interrupted Mr. Lorry,"do you mean to sit there and lecture_ me_?
50941Or had they gone to some farmhouse after milk and eggs, or to get a hot supper?
50941Or was the absence of the boys due to some move against them on the part of Big John?
50941See?
50941Surprisin'', eh, the way this cousin of mine is beginnin''to act?
50941Talk about luck, will you?
50941That''ll settle the debt you owe me on account of the tip I gave you on that hoss race, see?
50941Then why do n''t you use''em?"
50941Was it possible that he had ever met her before?
50941Was the car Matt heard the one that had left its tracks there by the roadside?
50941Was the_ Sprite_ to burn and sink, there in the open lake, and carry him to the bottom?
50941Was there still a bare chance?
50941Was this to be the end?
50941What are your plans, Lorry?"
50941What became of Pickerel Pete?"
50941What became of your light?"
50941What could Matt do to save himself?
50941What d''ye say to taking me along in your trip over the Snowies?"
50941What did he do?"
50941What did you put him there for?"
50941What did you take the boat off the express company''s hands for, pard?"
50941What do you suppose they''d be worth?"
50941What do you think he did?"
50941What for?"
50941What had become of McGlory and George?
50941What kind of a spook do I make, eh?"
50941What was the good of it, anyhow?"
50941What''s she doin''here at this time o''night?
50941What''s the good of watchin''the cabin if he gets the money?
50941What''s the use of keeping track of the other two boys when King''s the one we want?"
50941What''s your graft?
50941When you going to put that boat in the water?"
50941Where are you, pard?"
50941Where did you leave him?"
50941Where is he?
50941Where you- all gwine?"
50941Where you- all wants tuh go, boss?"
50941Where''s a lantern?
50941Who could possibly have furnished Lorry with the information on which he had based his remarkable conclusions?
50941Who did it, pard?"
50941Who was back of it, and what was the purpose?
50941Why could n''t he get the_ Sprite_ afloat and proceed by water to the cabin?
50941Why did n''t he bring this money to me himself?
50941Why do you reckon the windows were draped like that?"
50941Why had Big John come to Madison?
50941Why should an automobile be taking to the woods in that unaccountable fashion?
50941Why should he help Big John try to get that ten thousand from you, Matt?"
50941Why was it necessary for him to send it at the hands of a stranger?"
50941Wonder if you''ve got ten thousand about you that we could borrow for a while?"
50941Wonner where dar''s a lantern?"
50941Yo''ai n''t layin''fo''tuh grab me, is yuh?"
50941You did n''t know I got off the train at Waunakee, when you got off, and that I trailed you and your two friends to that cabin in the woods, eh?
50941You did n''t think I''d bring ten thousand dollars back with me in cash, did you?
50941You do n''t mind my riding with you?"
50941You got away from that pal of ours?"
50941You have n''t been private adviser for young Lorry just to make a man of him in the gamblin''line, have you?
50941You understand the plan, do you?"
50941You''re George''s sister, are you?"
50941You''re not afraid of spooks, are you, Pete?
50941_ Home!_ How does that sound to you, my son?"
50941_ Was_ it a jolt?
50941exclaimed George;"not Ethel?"
50941grumbled the youth,"_ now_ what have you done?
47625Are they trying to scuttle that red craft, Matt?
47625Are you getting cold feet, matey?
47625Are you going to Lamy?
47625Are you on good terms with your cousin, Ralph Sercomb?
47625Are you positive this is La Vita Place?
47625Are you ready to lay on?
47625Are you really going to get an officer in Lamy and come back here?
47625Are you up there?
47625But how can he be working for it when he''s already got it?
47625But vat''s der goot oof it all?
47625But what was the good of all that Flying Dutchman business? 47625 Can you navigate the car to the road?"
47625Dick sahib, you go with Tippoo back to La Vita Place?
47625Did n''t you hear them go out the front door?
47625Did n''t you hear''em run down the stairs?
47625Did n''t you tell me that this was an old Mexican house, and that your uncle bought it?
47625Did you see us on the cliff road last night?
47625Does he live in Hamilton?
47625Does_ jee_ mean yes?

47625How about the windows?
47625How dit you know all dot, Matt?

47625How do you like that?
47625How does it come you stepped through it, messmate?
47625How does the door work?
47625How does the will read, Ralph?
47625How far is it to La Vita Place, pilgrim?

47625How you shtop der pubble, Matt?
47625How you vas going to do dot?
47625Hurt?
47625I did n''t mean anything like that, and why do you go out of your way to take me in any such fashion? 47625 If you knew all that yourself,"said Ferral,"why did n''t you lock up before you went visiting?"
47625Is your name Tippoo?

47625Sercomb?
47625Some new kink in the yarn, Matt?
47625Suppose it''s Ferral?
47625Sure, Matt, vy nod?
47625Tell me quick, what happened in here?
47625That old flugee was a sort of Flying Dutchman, hey?
47625That''s still your play, is it?
47625That''s the same car that was in the road last night----"What?

47625Vy it do dot foolishness, hey?
47625Was n''t Sercomb in the fight?
47625Was n''t you expecting me?
47625Well, Sercomb came into this room with two other men, through that hole in the wall----"Is that right?
47625Well, has the old fluke cashed in?
47625Were you trying to keep away from Dick sahib?
47625What are you intending to do with that club?
47625What do you mean?
47625What do you suppose they''re up to?
47625What do you think of Ralph Sercomb, Matt?
47625What do you think of that, Ferral?
47625What do you think was the cause of it?
47625What do you want me back there for?
47625What have they got to gain by such foolishness?
47625What in the name of the seven holy spritsails, did you ever let Tippoo go spooking around the country for?
47625What is it?
47625What sort of a blooming place is it? 47625 What were you riding past the other car for?"
47625What''s going on up there? 47625 What''s he got to do with this?"
47625What''s the bloming racket now?
47625What''s the matter?
47625When did your uncle die?
47625Where are you?
47625Where did they go?
47625Where have you been, Sercomb?
47625Where is Lawton, sahib?
47625Where were you going in the car?
47625Where''d you get hold of Tippoo, Matt? 47625 Where''s Sercomb?"
47625Who are you?
47625Who did this, Dick?
47625Who is the''nabob sahib''?
47625Who iss dot?
47625Who was that fellow with the queer head- gear we saw in the car?
47625Who were the lubbers, and how did they slip their cables?
47625Why did n''t the lawyer tell me Uncle Jack and the will had been found?
47625Why did n''t you wait till we could speak with you?
47625Why do you ride in such cramped quarters, Tippoo,asked Matt,"when you could just as well ride on a seat?"
47625Why should any one do that?
47625Why should he do that?
47625Why was that?
47625Why was that?
47625Why-- why,murmured the youth who had just entered,"can this be my cousin Dick?"
47625Will we?
47625Will you take us to our car?
47625Would n''t that just naturally rattle your spurs?
47625You are going to Santa Fé?
47625You came past the house in the road last night?
47625You can tell me whether he''s dead or alive, ca n''t you?
47625You know Dick Ferral?
47625You stopped the car in the tunnel last night, and came back into the road?
47625You surprise'', sahib? 47625 You was n''t a favorite of your Uncle Jack, eh?"
47625_ Jee!_"Do you know where we left the red automobile?
47625_ Jee._"And you got away by running the machine into the cliff?
47625Aber for vy iss dis, Matt?
47625Aber who vas dot vat shpoke in der tark?"
47625And how did you come to have the white car handy?"
47625And where had they kept their automobile while they were in the house?
47625And why would n''t you let me in when I rapped?"
47625And will you say you did n''t land on me with a pair of knuckle- dusters in a dark street and run off with my roll?"
47625Anything happened, Dick?"
47625Anything more in the flask?"
47625But how had Sercomb and the other three got away?
47625But how shall we sleep?
47625But vat makes Sercomb act like dot?"
47625But was he running away from Matt?
47625But what became of that other craft?
47625But whose?
47625But why should he do it?"
47625But why were Sercomb and his two companions going back through the passage?
47625But,"and here Ferral rubbed his chin perplexedly,"what did they want to do that for?"
47625Ca n''t you tell by my talk where I am?
47625Did Sercomb know you were coming?"
47625Do you mean to say that some one came into this room and attacked you?"
47625Do you think that white car, and that man we saw in the road, had anything to do with the swabs who were in here?"
47625Do you wonder I''ve had a grouch at him all these years, Matt?"
47625Dot shpook plew indo nodding ven you come oop mit it, hey?"
47625Eh, Mings?"
47625Had Ferral and Carl captured him-- catching him red- handed and so unmasking his treachery?
47625How could you see where you were going?"
47625How did it habben, Verral?"
47625How did you and the other three lubbers get out of the house?
47625How far do you intend to hoof it over the cliffs?"
47625How he make it go, I vonder, ven he don''d vas aple to see der vay?"
47625How you t''ink I come py you oof I don''d know dot?
47625I wonder if Sercomb has anything to do with that?"
47625If Matt had been snuffed into nothing with the car, how could he be running away from him?
47625If the men were changed by the donning of the blue, what transformation was this wrought in our blacksmith boy?
47625Is de time not come?
47625Is he, Packard?"
47625Is there a boy who has not longed to possess one of these swift little machines that scud about the roads everywhere throughout the United States?
47625Is there a boy, therefore, who will not be intensely interested in the adventures of"Motor Matt,"as he is familiarly called by his comrades?
47625Iss dot you?"
47625Iss it a svear vort?
47625King?"
47625Last I heard of Ralph he was driving a racing- automobile for a manufacturing firm-- a little in your line, I guess, eh?"
47625Meppy dot''s der vay dot shpook car come oudt on us, hey?
47625Modor Matt chumped in und shtopped der car, hey?
47625Now vat?"
47625Rush things up there, will you?"
47625Say,"and Ferral seemed to have a sudden idea,"if you fellows want a berth for the night, why not put in at La Vita Place?"
47625The men had gone into that little thicket, and why had they not shown themselves again?
47625There was certainly a man standing right there where you are, was n''t there?"
47625They sneaked up on you, back there in that patch of timber?"
47625Those inside were not in a mood to receive callers; but, even if that was the case, why could not some one come to the door and say so?
47625Tippoo, where''s Uncle Jack?"
47625Understand?"
47625Vat it iss, Matt?
47625Vat vas dot?
47625Vere you come from, hey?"
47625Vere you vas going, Matt?"
47625Vy don''d he shpeak oudt und say somet''ing?"
47625Vy he do dot?"
47625Vy you do dot?"
47625What I''d like to know, did King save Dick?
47625What are you trying to do?"
47625What are your names, mates?"
47625What could Uncle Jack have wanted of a secret passage?"
47625What did I tell you about the soft- sawdering beggar?"
47625What do you think of this new twist in the game, Matt?"
47625What had become of Sercomb?
47625What have you done with Uncle Jack?
47625What have you got there, Matt?"
47625What kind of a bally old place is this, anyhow?
47625What sort of a place was he in?
47625What was there in that bunch of brush to attract them and keep them so long?
47625What''re you running afoul o''me like that for?
47625Where are you bound, mates, in that steam hooker?"
47625Where do we berth?"
47625Where''s that money?
47625Why did Tippoo want to tuck himself away in the locker behind when he could ride up in front in comfort and like a gentleman?"
47625Why not make your examination from the road?"
47625Why was that?"
47625With a high wall of rock on one side of the road, and an abyss on the other, where could the white car have gone?
47625You remember Uncle Jack''s room was all torn up when we first saw it?"
47625You t''ink she come from La Fita Blace?"
47625_ Jee!_""Then you must have been the one who fired that revolver and put a bullet through the tire?"
47625cried Carl, as Matt stopped for him to hop into the tonneau,"vot kindt oof a rite vas dot you dook mit yourseluf, Verral?"
25865A Millennium plate? 25865 A dog?"
25865A lady?
25865All of''em?
25865All right, Kate, fix her some, wo n''t you?
25865And were you out in it this afternoon,continued the stranger,"driving rapidly between here and North Point?"
25865And_ will_ you look at this? 25865 Anything I can do for you to- day, Puss?"
25865Are you staying long in Philadelphia, Miss Fairfield?
25865Borrow this house?
25865But has n''t a lady been here in the last hour, to look at costumes for a play?
25865But how can I set them off?
25865But what would become of our family?
25865But where are they, Hopalong?
25865Ca n''t I make the garlands for you?
25865Ca n''t you make her come, Hilda?
25865Can you wait until nine o''clock or thereabouts for your dinner? 25865 Do n''t you think it would be better,"she went on, hoping to make a helpful suggestion,"if we should put in to some house until the storm is over?
25865Do n''t you think, Roger dear, that you had better get a new belt and be done with it?
25865Do you own a large black racing automobile?
25865Do you think I ought to have given up the matinà © e, and stayed at home to study?
25865Earthquake swallowed our house?
25865For what offence?
25865Have you any more of them?
25865Hello, Hopalong,said Patty,"where are all the people?"
25865How could she say so? 25865 How could you get that belt mended so quickly?"
25865How did you know that?
25865How do you finally induce it to move?
25865How much do you want for them?
25865How old is he?
25865I ca n''t go away and leave her here,said Patty,"the dear little thing, what shall we do with her?"
25865I do n''t know,said Elise,"where does she live?"
25865I do n''t wonder,said Mr. Farrington,"and now, my man, can you ring your people up, and is there anybody to take care of the car?"
25865I know it,said Patty,"but what can we do?
25865I will surely make this up to you in some way, and now, will you just show me about the house a bit, as I''ve never been here before?
25865I''m awful hungry,said Patty,"and I am pretty tired, but the play is over, is n''t it, Nan?
25865I''m not really ill, am I, Dr. Martin? 25865 Is Miss Sinclair here?"
25865Is n''t it funny?
25865Is n''t it nice?
25865Is there company for dinner, Miss Patty?
25865Is this Mr. Richard Phelps?
25865Is your quilt nearly done, Miss Bender?
25865It is; what can I do for you?
25865It''s all over, is n''t it?
25865It''s quarter of two,he said,"do you suppose we can get in at this hour?"
25865Just shut us up in some room by ourselves, and we''ll stay there, and not bother you a bit; unless perhaps we can help you?
25865Never mind, Patty, darling,she said,"and try to forgive me, wo n''t you?
25865Now is n''t this nice?
25865Now, how are you going to catch your father and Nan?
25865Of course I will,said Bertha,"but will there be time?"
25865Of course I will,said Patty jumping up,"what is the secret you have to tell me?
25865Oh, Miss Bender,cried Bertha,"then wo n''t you quilt it?
25865Oh, Patty,cried Elise Farrington, as she met her in the cloakroom,"what do you think?
25865Oh, is this a real present then? 25865 Oh, my dear, is that so?
25865Only this one,said Patty, laughing,"what do you think she ought to eat?"
25865Patty Fairfield, are you crazy? 25865 Patty,"called Nan''s voice from the hall,"you''ll go with me this afternoon, wo n''t you?
25865Shall we go on, Mother?
25865She''s your stepmother, is n''t she?
25865So that''s your name, is it?
25865Tell a straight story, Patty,said her father,"is it one of the neighbour''s children, or did you kidnap it?"
25865That''s almost finished, is n''t it, Bertha?
25865That''s better yet,said Patty;"where''s the book?"
25865The Fenwick house?
25865There''s no fine for running over a cloud, is there, Dad?
25865Well, Pattikins,he said,"can you feel at home in this big house, after living so long in our apartment?"
25865Well, then, where is it?
25865Well, what else could it be?
25865What are you going to do with them all, Nan?
25865What are you laughing at?
25865What did you do?
25865What do you mean by running away in this fashion, and upsetting the whole bazaar, and driving all your friends crazy with anxiety about you?
25865What do you think will happen, Patty? 25865 What do you think, grandma?"
25865What is it, young ladies?
25865What is it?
25865What is the matter?
25865What is your number?
25865What makes you think we kidnapped a baby, my friend?
25865What time is it, and how soon shall we reach the Warners''?
25865What''s it all about?
25865What''s that?
25865What''s the matter?
25865What''s the matter?
25865Whatever would I do without you? 25865 When do you think it will begin any such performance as that?"
25865When is this play of yours to come off?
25865Where are they, then?
25865Where are you bound?
25865Where are you?
25865Who is she?
25865Who''s going with you, Patty, to the costumer''s?
25865Whom did you expect?
25865Why do you look so shocked and scared to death?
25865Why does n''t it go?
25865Why, what was the matter with it?
25865Winthrop and I fixed up that quarrel record, just for fun; is n''t it a good one?
25865Would n''t it be fun to dress him up as one?
25865Would you care to part with them both?
25865Yes, is n''t she a beautiful cat? 25865 Yes, ma''am,"said Patty demurely,"what''s the use of having an imagination, if you ca n''t make it work for you?"
25865Yes; why? 25865 You can make it obey your will, ca n''t you?"
25865You know how it is, do n''t you, Ken? 25865 You think so, do you?"
25865You''re sure you know the way, are n''t you, Roger?
25865Your prescription sounds attractive,said Patty,"but where shall I go?"
25865Your school keeps very late, does n''t it?
25865Are you passing those, Roger?
25865Are you sure your parents wo n''t mind?"
25865As they passed him, Patty smiled pleasantly, and paused, saying,"We''re all going to have supper in the Dairy, and of course you''ll be with us, Ken?"
25865Banks?"
25865But be you goin''her way?
25865But what''s the matter?
25865CHAPTER XIX ROSABEL"Rosabel who?"
25865CHAPTER XXII THE BAZAAR OF ALL NATIONS"How did you know where we were?"
25865Ca n''t we telephone to them?"
25865Ca n''t you play at dressin''up?"
25865Can I help you in any way?"
25865Can you send somebody after me in a carriage?
25865Come on over to the orchard, will you?"
25865Come on, girls, are you ready?"
25865Did you ever see such a brightness in your life?"
25865Do n''t we, Roger?"
25865Do you never get tired of parties and dancing, Patty?"
25865Do you remember the little bag, that always held everything that could possibly be required?"
25865Do you suppose we''ll have to stay here all night?"
25865Do you suppose,"she said, turning an indignant face to Mr. Phelps,"that anybody deliberately put this child here and deserted it?"
25865Do you want to borrow them too?"
25865Elise, do you suppose whoever keeps this little store would sell that plate?"
25865Farrington?"
25865For I do n''t suppose you intend to keep Miss Rosabel, do you?"
25865For gracious goodness''sake, Patty, what have you got there?"
25865Go and get her, wo n''t you?
25865Has your car been cutting up jinks?"
25865Has your cook left, or is the house on fire?"
25865Have you any punk?"
25865Have you had your luncheon?"
25865Have you no more respect for your elderly and antiquated Stepmamma than that?"
25865How did I know but that you''d buy pink or blue ones, and so spoil my whole gypsy costume?"
25865How do you do, Mrs. Farrington?
25865How do you do, Patty?
25865How do you like the prospect?"
25865How much is it, please?"
25865How old be you?"
25865I ca n''t seem to see any?"
25865I do n''t suppose it''s to be a monologue, is it?"
25865I thought ef I was a horse whar would I go?
25865I''ll be all right in a day or two, wo n''t I?
25865I''m so glad to see you, Elise; and this is Patty Fairfield?
25865I''m so sorry, for I do love hothouse peas, do n''t you?"
25865If I see any sort of a place where we can turn in for shelter, I think we''d better do it, do n''t you?"
25865Is it new?"
25865Is n''t it_ great?_""I do n''t like it as well as the sparkling, shiny things.
25865Is n''t this house great?
25865It will never occur to them that we''re over here, and why should it?"
25865May n''t I come often to see you?
25865Mother, will you get something ready for a feast?"
25865Now I''d like you to explain, sir, if you did n''t kidnap that child, what you do call it?"
25865Now what would you people rather do?"
25865Oh, Nan, may n''t I make it work, sometimes?"
25865Oh, Nan, wo n''t we be happy all here together?"
25865Oh, do have the party, will you?"
25865Oh, do you suppose your people will let you go?"
25865Oh, what shall I do?"
25865One morning at breakfast, her father said,"Patty, child, what is the matter with you?
25865Or shall we stop at some farmhouse, and so keep ourselves from starvation?"
25865Patty felt sorry for the old lady, who seemed in such a bewildered state, and she said,"No matter about the card, Mrs. Roland, what can I do for you?"
25865Patty rubbed her eyes and blinked, as Nan pulled the book away from her, and said,"Why, what time is it?"
25865Phelps?"
25865S''pose we say a week from to- day?"
25865She had an aversion to speaking her own name before her present hearers, so when Mr. Hepworth responded she merely said,"Do you know who I am?"
25865So Patty said,"What about the servants, Mrs. Roland?
25865So wo n''t you promise me a dance or two, when the time comes for that part of the programme?"
25865Some plan for to- night?"
25865Thank you ever so much, Roger, but why did n''t you put it on the tree for me?"
25865The driver of a passing hansom called out,"Cab, Miss?"
25865The judges awarded the prize to Roger, who calmly remarked to Patty, afterward,"I told you I''d get it, did n''t I?"
25865This is Patty Fairfield, is it?
25865Turning around to face the occupants of the motor- car he bawled out:"Whar do ye wanter go in Hartford?"
25865Want to go with me, Nan?"
25865What have you been doing?
25865What shall I do?"
25865What shall I wear, Nan?"
25865What shall we do with her, Papa?"
25865What time does Uncle Ted come home, Aunt Grace?"
25865Who are going?"
25865Who could it have been?
25865Who''s that you''ve got with you this time?
25865Why do you call it that?
25865Why do you do it, Patty?"
25865Will you come with me?"
25865Will you go, Patty?"
25865Will you have us?"
25865Will you promise me that?"
25865Will you, Patty?"
25865Will you?"
25865Wo n''t it be lots of fun?"
25865Wo n''t you have a quilting party while my friends are here?"
25865You were n''t up late last night?"
25865a room will get musty if it''s shut up, and what earthly good is a parlour except to keep shut up?"
25865asked Kenneth,"me?"
25865asked Patty,"are they outdoors, down by the brook?"
25865asked one of her girl friends;"shall you exchange any of your duplicate gifts?"
25865cried Patty, picking the little one up,"what are you doing here all alone?"
25865exclaimed Miss Aurora,"is that the best you can do, Bertha Warner?
25865exclaimed Mr. Farrington,"why, how are you, old man?
25865exclaimed Patty;"but can you paint silver?"
25865he cried,"you would n''t let a little thing like a tornado stop your progress, would you?
25865said Dick Phelps, in his straightforward way,"he''s mad at you, is n''t he?"
25865said Patty,"what for?"
25865she asked,"can I sell you anything to- day?"
26657''Well, what is it?"
26657''What the deuce do you mean?"
26657''Then, sir,''replied the rascal,''you will be doubtless glad to purchase my immediate disappearance with the contents of the August pockets?'' 26657 A Hindu?"
26657A motorist?
26657And you found him waiting for you?
26657Any luck?
26657Any news?
26657Any one been here to- night, Laver?
26657Are you going to leave the job to amateurs?
26657Besides, you are now no longer afraid?
26657But before giving you the results of my inquiries-- it wo n''t take long, by the way-- I should like to ask you one or two questions, if I may?
26657But how did you discover my address? 26657 But the robbery?"
26657By the way, Sutgrove,he said,"what''s this I saw on the evening paper bills about a motor pirate?"
26657Can not you recognize the rattle of Mannering''s old car? 26657 Can you take me to the place?"
26657Colonel Maitland? 26657 Could n''t you get it completed in a week?"
26657Did they though? 26657 Did you mention to any one where I had gone?"
26657Did you not mention me?
26657Do you call him handsome?
26657Does your friend refuse to acknowledge the compact?
26657For what reason?
26657Forrest? 26657 Has any one ever tried to hold you up?"
26657Have n''t I ever mentioned them to you? 26657 Have you everything packed to go away on your visit to Norfolk to- morrow?"
26657Have you heard anything further?
26657Have you lost anything?
26657He?
26657Him? 26657 Him?"
26657His what?
26657How are we going to get in?
26657How did you discover that?
26657How far is Towcester?
26657How''s that?
26657How?
26657How?
26657Hurt?
26657I do n''t know what?
26657I fancy you must have seen in the papers a pretty full account of all that the police discovered there?
26657I should have been inside that shop a couple of months ago,he continued,"if I had thought---- Whereabouts is the shop?"
26657I suppose I am at liberty to sleep where I like?
26657I suppose it was during the struggle that you lost the two buttons from your overcoat which you left behind you?
26657I suppose,he said, as we reached our destination,"I may count upon you not referring to the plight in which I returned to your place?
26657I thought you were of opinion that our friend will be tempted to make his reappearance to- night?
26657If there''s all that value in it, why should the owner go in for highway robbery?
26657In Vienna?
26657Is Mr. Mannering in?
26657Is n''t she in the drawing- room? 26657 Is n''t that musical?"
26657Is there any one else?
26657Is your verdict upon my restaurant equally favourable to- day, sir?
26657It was lucky for him he did not meet us, hey, Sutgrove?
26657Left?
26657Let me hear all about it?
26657Met any one?
26657Mr. Sutgrove, is it?
26657My young friend,he observed,"you have, I believe, undertaken to bring me safely home to- night?"
26657Not emulating the deeds of the Motor Pirate?
26657Not?
26657Now tell me, Mr. Sutgrove, did n''t that dream of father''s really happen to you last night?
26657Of course it is quite impossible that the motive power can be electricity?
26657Petrol?
26657Seen anything of the Pirate?
26657Seen nothing of Inspector Forrest, I suppose?
26657Start? 26657 Still, does it not strike you as curious that he should have selected the night when a valuable parcel of diamonds was there?"
26657Sure that is all?
26657Surely it can not be a case of suicide?
26657Surely that depends on what the girl thinks, does n''t it?
26657Surely you do not still harbour any suspicion concerning him?
26657Tell me, dear, what possessed you to go out into the storm?
26657That you, Mannering?
26657That''s very sudden, is n''t it?
26657The Colchester road?
26657The surgeon out?
26657Then I can be of no assistance to you, to- day?
26657Then you are really hoping to join in the hunt?
26657Then you have seen him?
26657They have n''t found Mr. Forrest, then, sir?
26657Was there nothing at all found at St. Alban''s then?
26657Well, Colonel, what do you say to a music hall?
26657Well, if I may?
26657Well, what is it?
26657Well, what''s the next move?
26657Well?
26657Well?
26657Were you not afraid of meeting the Pirate? 26657 What about the servants?"
26657What do you mean?
26657What do you propose?
26657What do you say to that, Inspector?
26657What do you want?
26657What do you want?
26657What grounds have you for thinking so?
26657What has Mannering been saying to you, for it was he whom I saw behind the hedge when I brought you out of the storm, I suppose?
26657What has happened?
26657What have you been up to now, Sutgrove?
26657What in the name of good fortune for?
26657What in the world for?
26657What is it?
26657What line do you propose?
26657What makes you ask?
26657What must not go on?
26657What of that? 26657 What power do you propose to use?"
26657What right have you to ask?
26657What should it be for?
26657What the deuce can we do?
26657What town is this, then?
26657What was the extent of your loss?
26657What''s the latest from Mr. Justice Jeune''s division? 26657 What''s the matter now?"
26657What''s the matter?
26657What''s the next move?
26657What?
26657What?
26657What?
26657What?
26657When are we going to start?
26657When can I see you again?
26657When did he leave England?
26657When did you hear that the Motor Pirate was at work again?
26657Where have you been? 26657 Where is it?"
26657Where next?
26657Where shall it be then?
26657Where''s Evie?
26657Where-- where is she?
26657Which direction did he take?
26657Who''s that?
26657Why did n''t you go to the police- station?
26657Why should it?
26657Why, darling, what ails you?
26657Why, what has he been doing?
26657Why, what made you think of him? 26657 Why?"
26657Why?
26657With me?
26657You are quite sure neither of you touched any of that port?
26657You can not mean to infer that Mannering had anything to do with that?
26657You did n''t get any clue in Amsterdam, then?
26657You do n''t mean to say that you still suspect me?
26657You have n''t a car to do a hundred miles an hour, have you?
26657You know him?
26657You know the numbers of your notes, I suppose?
26657You know where to bring it?
26657You saw him?
26657You still hold to the theory that he is mad?
26657You surely can not think that Mannering is in any way connected with the Motor Pirate?
26657You will have no difficulty, I presume, in proving your identity?
26657You will help me, wo n''t you?
26657You would like to make a more extensive examination, I suppose, doctor?
26657You''ve bound me up pretty tightly?
26657You, Winter, and myself, would soon settle a Motor Pirate, would n''t we?
26657A Daimler, I believe?"
26657And what if, not content with destroying himself, he were to carry with him to destruction the girl who rode beside him on his car?
26657And, turning to Evie, he said,"I presume you will not allow Sutgrove to take any risks of that sort now, Miss Maitland?"
26657Are you asleep, sir?"
26657Are you motoring?"
26657Are you prepared for a little amateur burglary, Sutgrove?"
26657As I did so the occupant of the car shouted out,"That you, Sutgrove?
26657Bear him a grudge?
26657Been on the same job as myself?"
26657Besides, it seems scarcely fair on the girl, does it?"
26657But had n''t you better have lunch first?"
26657But how is it possible to describe a journey at the pace we were making?
26657But how?
26657But what brings you down here?
26657But you said something of observations made by the August victim?"
26657Can I be of any assistance?"
26657Can you manage a hot bath and a bed for me to- night?"
26657Colonel Maitland the gourmet?"
26657Did he say where he was going?"
26657Do n''t you think the air is cooler already?
26657Do you know that the glass I drank-- was it one glass or two?--gave me the most vivid dream I have enjoyed since my childhood?"
26657Does he affect you in the same way?"
26657Got a puncture?
26657Had he not told Evie that on the third day he would return, bidding her be ready for him?
26657Have n''t you ever heard that Mannering spends all his spare time in experimental motor construction?"
26657Have you any idea of our whereabouts?"
26657Have you got the tools?"
26657He always was that, was n''t he, Sarah?
26657He may endeavour to dispose of some of his plunder, or he may reappear, but until then----""What do you suggest?"
26657He stepped on to the car, and, taking my seat, I asked him tersely--"Where to?"
26657He was for him unusually excited, and, without reply to my greeting, save with a silent hand grip, he said--"Seen anything of Mannering?"
26657He would be bound to get his batteries recharged somewhere and, with a car of such remarkable shape, how is he to do so without exciting remark?
26657How much of that port did you drink?"
26657I am sure you would not have obeyed so tamely?"
26657I suppose there is no one residing near whom you would consider a likely object of suspicion?"
26657Is it Mannering?"
26657Is it indeed you?"
26657Is there any hope for me?"
26657Mannering?"
26657Mannering?"
26657Meanwhile what were we to do?
26657Meanwhile, you have not yet told me how you learned of my presence here?"
26657Nothing tangible and yet---- Oh, Mr. Sutgrove, do you-- have you ever experienced a presentiment of something dreadful happening?
26657Now, I knew he never had such a thing----""I suppose you know exactly what jewellery he has?"
26657Revolver handy?"
26657Sutgrove?"
26657Sutgrove?"
26657The engine is a model of the one I have designed for the new car which I mentioned-- last night was it?
26657The explanation could hardly please him, would it?"
26657The third time he blurted out--"About that suggestion of yours-- taking night rides on the chance of being held up----""Yes?"
26657Then, after a momentary hesitation, she added,"Is-- is anything wrong?"
26657Was it indeed Mannering''s voice, or were my ears deceiving me?
26657What could he have done?"
26657What course was open to me but confession?
26657What has happened to you?
26657What if he intended to end his life and his journey together?
26657What is it you want?"
26657What is the matter?"
26657What should you do?"
26657What sort of establishment does he keep?"
26657What would have been the use?
26657What, then, had he done with it?
26657What-- what?"
26657When we had done laughing, Winter turned to me and said--"Sutgrove, old fellow, would you mind punching me?
26657Whence he came?
26657Where did he say he was going?"
26657Where did we leave him?"
26657Whither he went?
26657Who could help feeling happy?
26657Who knows?
26657Who the owner of the pirate car was?
26657Why did you disappear?
26657Why had I listened to Winter?
26657Why should I have allowed myself to be persuaded to play the part of coward, merely that Winter''s car should have been saved from injury?
26657Will you believe it?
26657You can make things exceedingly unpleasant for him if you like; but frankly, is it worth while?
26657You wanted to make me talk, eh?"
26657he muttered"What is it?"
26657run away now, and let your friend Mannering have a clear field?
26657said the stranger again;"do you give me your words?"
47179After that,said he,"you were afraid the machine might be tampered with, and so you came here and stayed all night?"
47179Ai n''t I the bright boy, though? 47179 And if they''re only hung up for two or three minutes they''ll catch us?"
47179Are n''t you going to take that scoundrel along, now that we''ve captured him?
47179Are you Mr. Tomlinson, of Denver?
47179Are you acquainted over in Brockville?
47179Are you giving it to me straight?
47179Are you the Motor Matt I''ve been hearing about, down Phoenix way?
47179But what does a wealthy man want to be pounding around the country for-- especially a country like this-- all by himself?
47179Can you run''er?
47179Could n''t they go the other road?
47179Den vat? 47179 Did anything happen?
47179Did he tell you the name of his other chauffeur?
47179Did you boys see anything of a bag, a little green silk bag?
47179Did you get a good look at those men?
47179Did you talk with Mr. Tomlinson any?
47179Did you write to Denver that you had secured the pearls and were going to carry them with you as far as Albuquerque?
47179Do you know what it contains?
47179Do you mean to say,shouted the man in the car,"that the_ hombre_ who was in this car with you did n''t have that bag?"
47179Do you owe the Chinaman money?
47179Do you understand what those scoundrels can do, King?
47179Do you want to tell us what you know?
47179Does this road run into the Ash Fork trail?
47179For Tenver?
47179Going to take me along?
47179Have I strung you any, so far?
47179Have you ever seen him before, doctor?
47179Help me to the hotel, will you?

47179The question is, Carl, how did that letter get under the rubber mat in the tonneau of the Red Flier? 47179 They did n''t try to take it away from him in Ash Fork?"

47179What about my stuff? 47179 What are you doing here?"
47179What are you doing in Ash Fork?
47179What are you going to do there?
47179What are you going to do, King?
47179What are you going to do?
47179What are you mutts trying to do?
47179What became of-- er-- Tomlinson?
47179What can I do to get clear of this?
47179What d''ye think o''that, Hank?
47179What did you ask me that for?
47179What do you know about cylinders?
47179What do you take me for? 47179 What do you think of that, Gregory?
47179What do you think of this lay out, Carl?
47179What do you want to knock a partner like this for, Dutch?
47179What do you want?
47179What if Hank and Spang come along?
47179What notices?
47179What object would they have in coming here?
47179What were you doing in Flagstaff?
47179What''ll we do?
47179What''s our pace?
47179What''s the trouble here?
47179Where did you find that out?
47179Where do we go after leaving Flagstaff?
47179Where is it? 47179 Where were you and Pringle at the time?"
47179Where''bouts was this?
47179Where''d that note come from?
47179Which way now, Pringle?
47179Who are you?
47179Who is he? 47179 Who vas dem fellers, anyvay, und vat vas der mix- oop aboudt?"
47179Who''s Tomlinson?
47179Who''s Trymore, James Trymore?
47179Who''s got a revolver?
47179Who''s there-- a''Pongwe?
47179Why did n''t you send the pearls to Denver by express, after you got them in Yuma?
47179Why is he unconscious?
47179Why should any one want to cut a car like this adrift?
47179Wienerwurst, hey?
47179Will it put me in deeper, or help me out?
47179You ca n''t give them the slip on a straightaway run, can you?
47179You cut loose from Wienerwurst, hey? 47179 You findt der moofing pag, hey?"
47179You lif in Ash Fork?
47179You say he had the bag?
47179You say that by a stroke of luck you were able to get my pearls and find out where I had been left? 47179 You seen anything of a green bag?"
47179You t''ink he knows somet''ing aboudt dot?
47179You''re going to Denver, you say?
47179You-- you have come to release us?
47179_ He_?
47179_ Now_ who''s played it low- down on us?
47179A friend of yours?"
47179And if he was the one who put it there, why did those men come after it?"
47179And what was the use of it all, now that Tomlinson had got away with the pearls?
47179And what would it reveal?
47179And where were their horses?
47179And where''s my new runabout?
47179And_ where_ was the owner?
47179Any bullets in the gun, Carl?"
47179But I reckon you was a bit fooled yourself, eh?"
47179But how could they hope to win that race, with a better car against them?
47179But where was that man?
47179But who are you, young man?"
47179But why had they made it, now that Tomlinson was not with the car?
47179Can you tell me vere dot feller iss?"
47179Could he do it?
47179Der furder vat ve go, der less vat ve know, hey?
47179Did n''t you hear what Hank and I said to each other, a few minutes ago, Carl?"
47179Did you ever see anything neater than that?
47179Don''d he vas der vorst pad egg vat you efer see?"
47179Dose two fellers vas de vones vat dry to rop der car, hey?"
47179For vy iss i d, Matt?"
47179Funny, ai n''t dot?
47179Going to frisk me for it?"
47179Hey, Matt?"
47179How about having one, all around?"
47179How did the robbers know I had them?
47179How is the man now?"
47179How much do I owe you, doctor?"
47179How ve do anyt''ing ven ve shday here mit der car?
47179How ve ketch dem, hey?"
47179How ve know dot undil ve findt it oudt?"
47179How you like dot, hey?
47179How you make dot figuring, anyvay?
47179How''d you hear about him?"
47179How''d you like a job of that kind?"
47179How''ll it be if I meet you in Brockville, after I get away, and we hit up Needles with the sketch?
47179I think he''s entitled to something, do n''t you?"
47179Is it a go?"
47179Is the doctor in?"
47179Is the driver making a play, or has something really slipped a cog?
47179Is the spiel worth anything?"
47179Is there a boy who has not longed to possess one of these swift little machines that scud about the roads everywhere throughout the United States?
47179Is there a boy, therefore, who will not be intensely interested in the adventures of"Motor Matt,"as he is familiarly called by his comrades?
47179Meppy he vas expecding drouble?"
47179Now, if Trymore had that letter, and if he and Pringle were the robbers, how could the letter get out of Trymore''s pocket and into the car?
47179Oof fife t''ousant tollars comes rolling indo our hants, all py itseluf, for vy should n''t ve be jeerful?"
47179Oof he vas too veak to shtay py der car, how he tie der veel like vat it vas?"
47179Page 12, changed?
47179See that gap up there?"
47179See?
47179See?"
47179The address was evidence enough that the letter did not belong to Tomlinson; but, if not, how did it happen to be in the car?
47179The question was, did Denny have the pearls in his clothes, or had he hid''em around the automobile?
47179Then, to throw us into that miserable hovel as though we were dogs?
47179They''d make a nice picture running through town, Hank with a gun at the driver''s head, would n''t they?
47179Tomlinson?"
47179Und I, in der jeerful vay vat I haf, make some remarks aboudt''Vy nod?''"
47179Und how dit Drymore ged der audomopile?"
47179Understand?
47179Understand?"

47179Vat you t''ink, Matt?"
47179Vat''s your name, hey?"
47179Vell, I vas more oof a hot tamale as dot, hey?"

47179Vill you send my shtuff py Tenver?"
47179Vy did n''t dey shdeal dot, hey?
47179Waal, would n''t that rattle yer spurs?"
47179What do you say?
47179What do you think of that?"
47179What else could we do?
47179What''s the use of keeping me tied any longer?
47179What''s the use of letting Hank and Spang in on a good thing when we could have it all to ourselves?
47179Where''s Hank?"
47179Where''s the Dutchman?"
47179While all this fighting was going on for the possession of the pearls, what had become of James Q. Tomlinson, of Denver?
47179Who was the owner?
47179Who you fellers vas?
47179Why should a letter addressed to a Denver crook be in Mr. Tomlinson''s car?
47179Why should he give so much attention to the fellow when the man he and Spangler wanted most was still on the mountainside?
47179Why should they, if it belonged to him?"
47179Why was such a valuable machine loose in the road?
47179Wonder what they wanted here?"
47179You ai n''t going to hog the whole business, are you?"
47179You bought the pearls from a Mexican who came to Yuma from La Paz?"
47179You check der trunk, hey?"
47179You t''ink ve pedder shday righdt here, Matt?"
47179You was n''t hurt very bad, eh?"
33476''Tain''t much like water power, is it?
33476And how would you like to be reimbursed for your trouble and expense?
33476And who are they?
33476Are n''t we all comrades together?
33476Are you coming back this way?
33476Aw, what''s the use of anyone staying?
33476Aw, what''s the use?
33476Aw, where''ll we take him?
33476Aw-- why did n''t you hold to your end? 33476 Better put that chap in the tonneau, had n''t we?"
33476Better see Mr. Fobes, had n''t we?
33476But how in time did they put it in here and who in thunder done it?
33476But there''s some doubt about that car in Griffin being the one stolen at Harkville, is n''t there?
33476But what if we do? 33476 But what is_ your_ idea as to the reason this fellow Coster left one car in the road and hid another in the icehouse in place of it?"
33476But what''s come of it? 33476 But who''s to say it will hold out?
33476By the way,remarked Worth,"did n''t that man with the hay say he lived some three miles from that town we stopped in-- what''s the confounded name?"
33476Ca n''t I talk to the kid a second, boss?
33476Can it be true?
33476Can that be Phil?
33476Can we leave this car here safely?
33476Can you stand and walk?
33476Clues? 33476 Coster''s paper did n''t mention that burg, did it?"
33476D- didn''t you hear me holler?
33476Did n''t ye have insurance against theft?
33476Did n''t, eh? 33476 Did you ever see a madder bull?"
33476Did you expect he''d be anything else? 33476 Did you go any further, Dave?"
33476Do n''t you see it? 33476 Do you know the place?"
33476Do you live near? 33476 Do you mean that somebody must have expected to steal our car and brought the boards to be ready?"
33476Do you see how the clutch pedal of the car has pressed against the side of the sole on my shoe till the leather is curved in half an inch or more?
33476Especially the girl, eh?
33476Follow the car or take a look into that old ramshackle building?
33476Ha, you will, eh?
33476Has anyone seen the ghost lately?
33476Have n''t I read and heard about''em ever since I was knee high to a duck?
33476Have you ever seen the Falls?
33476How about the man and boy?
33476How am I goin''to feed so many strangers? 33476 How did_ he_ get here?"
33476How do we know you''ll make it all right? 33476 How do you know, if you''ve never been there?"
33476How was I to know what to say to him? 33476 How we goin''to pass ye?"
33476How will we know when we have gone half a mile?
33476How''d they ever get here, do you suppose?
33476How''d you get way out here?
33476How''d you want''em to look?
33476I do n''t know nothin''about a coat, boss; but who''s lookin''fer me?
33476I''ll help you get out if it means just paying a fine for you, if you can do all you say, but----"Do all I_ say?_ Do n''t you think I could n''t?
33476I''ll help you get out if it means just paying a fine for you, if you can do all you say, but----"Do all I_ say?_ Do n''t you think I could n''t?
33476Int''rested in timber, are ye? 33476 Is it a real ghost, or merely the echo of tales that have been current around here for years?"
33476Is it anybody?
33476Is there anything more we can do?
33476Jest like''em all, ai n''t ye?
33476Liar?
33476Ma,he called out,"any sign of Nan and Dan yet?"
33476Me?
33476Might I ask you a question?
33476No news yet?
33476No,answered Way,"the Torpedo people do n''t build a six- cylinder car, do they?"
33476Now, my friend,said Phil,"if I lead them, can you turn in close to the bluff, right where we were when we first saw you?"
33476Or did you know without our_ telling_ you?
33476Phil, why ca n''t you and Dave go to Albany or Rochester this very day? 33476 Reckon he ought to have a-- a doctor?"
33476Recognize these handkerchiefs?
33476S''pose the old rookery has been burned or made way with?
33476S''pose we_ do_ turn off here and do as Paul wants us to? 33476 Say, bub, did ye see that guy?
33476Say, kid, say, on the level is he the party His Nibbs was talkin''about? 33476 Shall we stop and take a look?"
33476That man-- the drunken fellow we saw Fobes arrest on Saturday night-- you remember? 33476 That so?
33476Two men?
33476Was the name''Fielderson Brothers''on the cans of paint found in the car you picked up, do you remember?
33476Was there a Torpedo stolen in Harkville, recently?
33476We may be fooled, but who shall say that Coster was n''t acting on the square? 33476 We wo n''t be likely to meet''em again, will we?"
33476We''re going to take her right to Griffin, ai n''t we? 33476 We''ve tried to give you all the room we could, do n''t you see?"
33476Well, then,remarked Phil,"shall we put it to a vote?"
33476Well, what do you say, Paul?
33476Well, what does this tramp do? 33476 Well, what_ are_ we going to do?"
33476Well, who is he? 33476 Wh-- who be you?"
33476What d''ye_ know_ about it? 33476 What did your father think of it?"
33476What do you say, Mac?
33476What do you think of it, boss?
33476What does this mean?
33476What for? 33476 What had we better do?"
33476What if they are or if they ai n''t?
33476What is it to be?
33476What is it, Miss Nan?
33476What is the use of running risks?
33476What luck did the Harkville man have finding his car? 33476 What''s that you got-- a tapeline?"
33476What''s that?
33476Where would that hemlock be? 33476 Where you going now, Mac?"
33476Where''s our machine?
33476Where''s the Big Six automobile that dinner basket came from? 33476 Where''s the kid that said might he ask me a question?"
33476Who cares for that Torpedo thing? 33476 Who lost it?"
33476Who will look after burying Scottie? 33476 Who, Billy?
33476Why did n''t you tell him about the Torpedo? 33476 Why did n''t you tell us before, eh?"
33476Why did that man Kull never answer our telegram?
33476Why do n''t you get busy and talk sense? 33476 Why has he been so interested, part of the time, anyway, in finding out if there''s a man named Smith, or anybody, looking for him?"
33476Why not? 33476 Will that do?"
33476Will you-- sure?
33476Wo n''t old Feeney open his eyes when we tell him what those two strangers were up to to- day?
33476Wonder what they were doing so far from home with a load of hay?
33476Would you know them if you saw them? 33476 Ye was just lyin''to me about that man Smith, now was n''t ye?"
33476You ca n''t mean that you want to go back there, do you?
33476You would, would you?
33476You''ll have to slow up, then go at a walk to the right, wo n''t you?
33476After all, why stop now?
33476Ai n''t I just getting even for the way those two did me when they ran away with our car?"
33476Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself?
33476And after a long pause he said,"Did I tell you t''other day about someone bein''around my house in the night?"
33476And this gentleman with you?"
33476And who will go to Ferndale in the Torpedo and take back the pick and shovel to the blacksmith?
33476And without waiting for an answer,"Will you put them out, Way?"
33476And you got this, did you?
33476Anyone know?"
33476Are the things out of the car?"
33476As for Paul, he-- he''s a--""He is, is he?"
33476As for gasoline, grub and so on-- what''s the odds?
33476Besides, who would believe anything Coster says?
33476Besides,"here he whispered in Mrs. Feeney''s ear,"you''ll get some money from''em, eh?
33476But where?
33476But_ your_ car was not a Torpedo, was it?"
33476CHAPTER V A BIT OF ADVICE FROM A STRANGER"Is there no way you can_ make_ that man talk?"
33476Can this be it?"
33476Can we see him?"
33476Could the man be shamming all the time, first in one way, then in another?
33476Could we take you home?"
33476Could you go forward without lights?"
33476Dave turned back to Way, saying:"Blame if I do n''t believe you''ve made a regular mash on that girl-- hey, Paul?"
33476Did n''t you shoot your own partner?
33476Did ye tell''i m?"
33476Do n''t we know that young Earnest can lie like a beggar?
33476Do they now?"
33476Do you catch on?"
33476Do you reckon he could tell and mark what those robbers did with their boodle?"
33476Do you reckon those Feeneys are the ones we passed?"
33476Does he often do that way?"
33476From any standpoint of the law ye can pick or choose, if he took your auto, what could he have did with it?"
33476Go up to Pittsfield, too?
33476He got insurance money, so why bother any more about it?
33476Hey, Phil?
33476How far is it to the nearest town on this road?"
33476How long is the thing, anyhow?"
33476How would you think?"
33476How''d ye come to meet up with Nan?"
33476How?
33476I come in here from Rochester, hittin''the road an''lookin''fer a job in the country, an''I told the judge the same thing, did n''t I?"
33476Is Hipp any better?"
33476Is he dead?"
33476Is it straight on, leaving the Falls for another time?"
33476Is it up to a vote?"
33476It''s you, is it?"
33476Just bank on that, will you?"
33476Just what do you mean?"
33476Know him?"
33476McPherson?"
33476Now is n''t it likely that the same man is still sneaking around in that neighborhood?"
33476Or so it would seem, would it not?
33476Peek?"
33476Phil bent forward close as he demanded:"If you are Jimmy Horr, who is Dippy?
33476Rack and do n''t you remember-- half that reward?"
33476Remember how you and your pal, who''s been calling on you constantly, did for me when you caught me fast asleep?
33476S''pose we spend a day or two enlarging our hotel bill, and do n''t find anything after all?
33476Said he:"Do you reckon Coster was very exact when he drew that map-- from memory?"
33476Say, how many yards in half a mile?
33476See that empty cartridge?
33476See?
33476Seems mighty suspicious, do n''t it?
33476Shall we let it go?"
33476Shall we take it?
33476So what are we going to do?"
33476Suppose it''s a tie, what then?"
33476That your name?"
33476Then as if feeling his way carefully, he said:"Somebody lookin''for me, eh?
33476Then to the man who peered out from the gloomy cell,"What was you doing on the South Fork road last-- last Friday?"
33476Then,"Have you telephoned Port Greeley and other places to be on the lookout for Coster and the car?"
33476Then-- Dippy-- tries to kill-- me--""Who are you anyway?"
33476This being the dumb reply of both, Phil grinned at Paul as he half whispered:"What do you vote, Paul?
33476Was n''t that her name, Phil?
33476We can hardly go back the way we came, can we?"
33476We''ll cut the regular bill in half, for you''re home folks, are n''t you?"
33476Were they the two strangers we saw at Feeney''s?
33476What could he have had to do with swipin''your car?
33476What could it be-- a pistol?
33476What d''ye KNOW about it?"
33476What d''ye know about it?
33476What did it all mean?
33476What had they better do now?
33476What happens?"
33476What might you kids be wanting such a place for?
33476What ought Dave and I to do?
33476What scent are you on now?"
33476What ye givin''us?
33476What ye up to now?"
33476What you got to show us anyhow?
33476What you think, Phil?"
33476What''d you do it for, Dippy?"
33476What''s all the feverish bustle about?
33476What''s become of Phil?"
33476What''s that?"
33476What''s this?"
33476Where was the other man?
33476Where would suspicion naturally point?
33476Wherever could he have disappeared to, if it ai n''t so?"
33476Who could have done it?"
33476Who else saw him?
33476Who knows?
33476Who stole it?
33476Why did n''t we see it before?
33476Why did n''t ye?"
33476Why not talk with him?
33476Why not turn us loose on the quiet?
33476Why should I pay any more attention to you?
33476Why, are you lads from Lannington?"
33476Why?"
33476Will you promise to be quiet if I loosen up those leg cords a bit?
33476With a side look at Phil, who was watching the road as he steered, he bent forward as he said:"Does the cord hurt you like that?
33476Would n''t I like to feel my shovel scrape something hard, and see my hand pull out a wad of bank notes all caked with woods dirt?"
33476Would that car never wheel in his direction?
33476Yet was it not true, as the stranger said, that Willie Creek and Chief Fobes were great friends?
33476You do n''t happen to remember what you left in the raincoat, do ye?"
33476_ Close in!_ Yes, but where?
33476but wo n''t they be some surprised?"
33476would n''t some fodder from home taste good right now?
36672And did you go to Wellington?
36672And how much are you to get?
36672And what is that? 36672 And why did n''t you?"
36672And you?
36672Are you Molly Brown of Kentucky?
36672Are you aware of the fact, girls, that there is no gas in these rooms? 36672 Are you to be in Charleston long?"
36672Are you, really? 36672 But what will my father say?"
36672But what will your father say?
36672But will they let girls run one?
36672But you-- how do you know all this?
36672But, Dum, what on earth are household novelties?
36672But, papa, what is he to do? 36672 But, papa, what pulpit?
36672Can you smell it, too? 36672 Claire,"said his Eminence of the Tum Tum,"have you extended an invitation to tea in the garden of our home to the Misses Laurens and their guests?"
36672Dee sick?
36672Did it hurt very badly?
36672Did you tell Cousin Park I was in town?
36672Do you feel that way?
36672Do you know you have not stopped once for half- an- hour?
36672Do you think it is a girl''s fault always if a man kisses her?
36672Do you think it would be wise to go without knowing? 36672 Do you think we can ever know the one who sang, well enough to ask her to sing to us?"
36672Do you young ladies know where the Misses Laurens live?
36672Do''white fo''ks wan''we- all sin''li''l''song?
36672Do? 36672 Does n''t it seem ridiculous that we have known her only since this afternoon?
36672Does n''t that sound romantic? 36672 Dressed already, Page?"
36672Foolish of me, was n''t it? 36672 Good?
36672Had n''t I better get a doctor for Dee?
36672Have you collected your money yet?
36672Have you talked business yet with either of the ladies, Professor Green? 36672 How are they going to help it?
36672How are we going to sleep? 36672 How do I know?
36672How do you know it''s from her?
36672How long does your job last?
36672How old do you reckon Mrs. Green is? 36672 I wonder if he wrote his''Reveries of a Bachelor''before or after the ceremony?"
36672I wonder if you would like my old college, Exmoor? 36672 I wonder why it is that no one ever seems to feel very sad or quiet in old, old graveyards?"
36672Is n''t it awful to let a place like this go to pieces so? 36672 Is n''t it funny that we should have peeped into the very garden belonging to the pretty rumpled girl in the bus?
36672Is n''t our young father a wonder?
36672Is n''t she a great girl, though?
36672Is n''t this a jolly place?
36672Is she pretty?
36672Is that all you can say when I chased back from the meeting in Norfolk expecting to find three lone ladies so glad to see me? 36672 Is that where the azaleas are so beautiful?"
36672It was a very risky thing for both of my girls-- they might have got in no end of scrapes-- but what am I to do? 36672 Know it?
36672Molly, do you hear that? 36672 Now do n''t you wish we had a guide book and map?
36672Oh, Edwin, do you hear that? 36672 Oh, Edwin, do you think we will really get into that house?
36672Oh, have you got a baby? 36672 Oh, is your name Gaillard?"
36672Oh, sing us a little song?
36672Oh, you?
36672Red?
36672See them without Zebedee? 36672 That is to say, Tweedles will not be?"
36672This Gaillard is our great, great grandfather, is n''t he, Louis?
36672Was anyone in all the world ever so wonderful as our Zebedee?
36672We have come to you, hoping you will take us to--Mrs. Green, who was spokesman for us, faltered; could she say"board"to those two?
36672Well den, Missy lak nig sing fer heh?
36672Well, girls, are n''t you going to take your poor old father in out of the cold?
36672Well, how about the Magnolia Gardens this afternoon? 36672 Well, is that any reason why you should n''t be glad to see me now?"
36672Well, now, how do you know that?
36672Well, on the other hand, little girl, how about my feelings? 36672 Well, then, Sullivan''s Island, where Poe''s''Gold Bug''was written?"
36672Well, what was my fault, then?
36672Well, why do n''t you go to college now? 36672 What are you going to do with it?"
36672What are you going to write?
36672What difference does that make? 36672 What do you fancy this thing is for?"
36672What do you reckon he wants to say to Zebedee?
36672What is he to do? 36672 What is it?"
36672What made you girls so late?
36672What on earth are you selling?
36672What''s the matter with you, honey? 36672 What''s the matter?"
36672What''s this?
36672What?
36672When may we come?
36672Where are you, Dee?
36672Where does that door go? 36672 Where have you and she just been?"
36672Who is Mabel Binks?
36672Who''s a''fraid cat now?
36672Who''s the old cove over there with the Venus de Milo effect of arms?
36672Why did you only come near doing it?
36672Why do n''t you earn it?
36672Why do n''t you tell them how you got Miss Plympton out of the window in her pink pajamas?
36672Why do n''t you tell your father?
36672Why should he not put on smoked glasses or look the other way? 36672 Will it be Miss Judith?"
36672Wo n''t you have some butter on your rice? 36672 You did n''t really keep it?"
36672You hear that, Page?
36672You mean as a warning to all young authors?
36672You must know Charleston pretty well, Mr. Gaillard, do you not?
36672You suggested it?
36672You will have room, then, for all of us?
36672You would like to go to college, would you not?
36672You would like to stay there, would n''t you, girls?
36672''Berry well,''yer say?
36672A favor for you?"
36672Ai n''t I see my gal dere waitin''Stannin''by de gate?
36672And now I want you to do us a big favor----""Me?
36672And you, Miss Gaillard?
36672And you-- do you write poetry, too?"
36672Are n''t you sorry for Claire?
36672Are we not Huguenots?
36672Are you counting upon going to college?"
36672But do n''t these palmetto trees have a strange swishy sound?
36672But do n''t you reckon I saw him holding on to it for dear life?
36672But how?
36672But is n''t it fascinating?
36672But must I tell him everything?
36672CHAPTER XV WHO WON THE BET?
36672Ca n''t you ever say I?
36672Ca n''t you hear their hymn of thanksgiving?"
36672Ca n''t you make up some plan?
36672Claire?
36672Could n''t we sneak off and go down there?
36672Did you cut it down?"
36672Did you ever in all your life see anything quite so lovely?
36672Did you notice they had an ugly, new, unpainted, board gate?
36672Do n''t you know that there are only two ways for a Charleston lady to make a living?
36672Do n''t you write, Mrs. Green?
36672Do you have to lump yourself with Dum and Dee about everything?"
36672Do you know she saved up two weeks so as to get her money''s worth?
36672Do you really think that is the truth about them?
36672Do you reckon it means lovers meet here?"
36672Do you suppose those two little old ladies live there all by themselves?"
36672Do you think Professor Green is as old as I am?"
36672Do you usually arise so early?"
36672Does the idiot think I could keep it up all night?
36672Does the maiden still swing in thy giant clasp?"
36672Edwin, you remember Mattie Ball, do you not?"
36672Green?"
36672Green?"
36672Had she caught the young man''s malady and gone a little off her hooks?
36672Has not Louis been brought up in that faith and how could he preach any other?
36672Have I done something?
36672Have you counted up my pledges yet?"
36672He knew that rice and sugar and cream were mixed up in it, but how?
36672Here I had come tearing home from Norfolk expecting to find three charming girls, all of them overjoyed to see me, and what do I find?
36672How about the bedrooms?
36672How account for this young man?
36672How could anybody grow with that-- that ponderous weight on him?"
36672How does a ghost smell?
36672I was nearly scared to death when I saw him there, were n''t you?"
36672If you write that splendid a letter to a mere afterthought, what would you do for a beforethought?
36672Is anybody dead?
36672Is n''t their name romantic?
36672Kindred souls must manage to get together or''What''s a heaven for?''"
36672Me?
36672Now ai n''t I glad?"
36672Now you are high- minded, too; fancy yourself in Louis''place-- what would you do?"
36672Of course you want to go?
36672Oh, my love, doth thou love me?''"
36672Parvenues!_ What business have they to ask a Gaillard to dig in their dirt?
36672She is the one Miss Ball told us about who got in such funny scrapes at college-- you remember, Judy Kean, who dyed her hair black?"
36672Surely you are not going to wear pants?"
36672They call their father Zebedee, because of the old joke about"Who''s the father of Zebedee''s children?"
36672They seem to take for granted that anyone they are on speaking terms with must be well born or how did they get to be on speaking terms?
36672WHO WON THE BET?
36672Was he trying to fit that awful noose around his neck again?
36672Was there ever a moment when we could broach the subject, girls?"
36672We ca n''t let you give us the money, and how will we ever pay it back?"
36672Were they attractive, too?"
36672Were you going to be all twenty right from the first?"
36672What are they going to do now?"
36672What business did he have coming home before he was expected?
36672What business was it of guests to dictate to the hostess what their sleeping arrangements should be?
36672What color are you going to get, Dum?"
36672What could it have been?"
36672What did you make, Dee?
36672What did you want there, please?"
36672What do you mean, Dee, by having on my coat and cap?
36672What do you mean, Dum, by fifteen orders?
36672What do you reckon the lazy thing would be doing while I was doing all that for her?
36672What do you think of these?
36672What father would simply accept a situation as Zebedee did this one?
36672What had our masculine contingent done?
36672What hurts you?"
36672What if I did burst in the effort?
36672What is the matter?
36672What is the matter?"
36672What is the matter?"
36672What next?
36672What on earth was I to say to him?
36672What was Dee driving at?
36672What was Dee to say to her father?
36672Where are those girls?
36672Where do you feel sick?
36672Where is Dee?
36672Where was Dee?
36672Where will we go first?"
36672Where''s Dum?
36672Where''s the morning paper?"
36672Who wants Shrimp ter- day?
36672Who''s here?"
36672Whose appearance is not?
36672Why did n''t they come on in?
36672Why did n''t you ask me to attend to it?"
36672Why did n''t you call me?"
36672Why do it?
36672Why, oh, why did n''t they come on?
36672Would you be afraid?"
36672You do n''t mean that both of them have had the heartlessness to go out at one time and leave you all by yourself?
36672You have heard of persons like that, have n''t you?
36672You hear me, sir?"
36672You mean money terms?
47491Are they comin''dis way, cull?
47491Are you all right?
47491Are you going to steal that car?
47491Are you sure that he will pay five hundred dollars for the recovery of his automobile?

47491Do you know what Brisco intends to do with the Red Flier?
47491Do you think I would have a match with a beggar like you?

47491If I stay, Legree,observed Matt,"I wo n''t be called on to use the Red Flier for chasing Brisco and Spangler, will I?
47491If this man, Tomlinson, got back his stolen property,asked Legree,"what became of the thieves?"
47491Is der money in der pox?
47491Is he coming on?
47491Is that man the one who helped rob Tomlinson, Matt?

47491Well, you made sure, did n''t you?
47491What are you going to do, Carl?
47491What business had you doing a thing like that?
47491What can your father do?
47491What did you leave the hang- out for?
47491What did yous do?
47491What do you think of that, O''Grady?
47491What does he say? 47491 What does it mean, Frank?
47491What o''that?
47491What trap?

47491What''s it to you?
47491What''s that?
47491What''s that?
47491What''s the matter here?
47491What''s the matter with you, Legree?
47491What''s the matter?
47491What''s the use of denying yourself a good bed when you can just as well have one?
47491What''s the use of peppering them?
47491What''s this for?
47491What-- what happened?
47491What?
47491Where are you going, Matt?
47491Where are you taking me?
47491Where are you, Spang?
47491Where did th''lot av yez come from?
47491Where do you live when you''re at home?
47491Where''d Legree''s kid spring from? 47491 Where''s Brisco?"
47491Where''s Carl?
47491Where''s Motor Matt? 47491 Where''s the kid?"
47491Who are you, if you have n''t any objection to answerin''a straight question?
47491Who gets it, Matt?
47491Why did n''t you tell Motor Matt what you''ve told me?
47491Why did you get into that car? 47491 Why didun''yo''mascot dat''ar company so dat Brisco could n''t do lak what he done?
47491Why not get an officer here and----"Do you want to divide with an officer what the cattleman is willing to pay?
47491Why, yes, if you want to; but had n''t you better leave that box here?
47491Wot d''yous want me t''do, Matt? 47491 Wot d''youse take me fer?"
47491Wot did yous t''ink it was chased us up dem trees?
47491Wot keeps''i m in a trance?
47491Wot kin we do?
47491Wot kind of a smell is dat, cull? 47491 Wot yous goin''t''do, Matt?"
47491Wot''s dat fer?
47491Wot''s dat mug doin''dat for?
47491Would n''t I?
47491Would n''t dat crimp yous?
47491Would n''t dat frost yous?
47491You did n''t have a hand in robbing Mr. Tomlinson, did you?
47491You drugged both of us, then?
47491You knew the boy in Denver?
47491You say that both cars are in that''well,''as you call it?
47491You were keeping the box in the hope that Brisco would came after it and give you a chance at him, were n''t you?
47491Yous do n''t like t''hear anyt''ing rattle, hey?
47491Yous is wise t''why I went off wit''Brisco in dat runabout now, ai n''t yous? 47491 Aber meppy he hat his reasons, hey?
47491After that escape, what difficulty could come up that Motor Matt was not able to conquer?
47491Ai n''t dey no wagons in dis country?
47491And Eliza?
47491And what would Legree think?
47491And where have you been since you left Fairview?"
47491And why had he changed, and where had he left the car?
47491And you had n''t the least notion it was empty, had you?
47491And_ why_ had he gone?
47491Are we bot''goin''t''blow in dere an''try t''make a run wit''de red car?"
47491But wot''s yer game, cull?"
47491By th''same token, Oi felt loike tratin''th''mon white, d''yez see?
47491Ca n''t y''swim?"
47491Can we get there before they overtake us?"
47491Can you come Monday morning?"
47491Can you hear?"
47491Could he, by quick work, get one of the ropes around Klegg''s hands before he was thoroughly awake and able to struggle?
47491Could the villains really mean to destroy the Red Flier?
47491Did yous t''ink we was goin''t''have a race?"
47491Dis is almost too good t''be true, ai n''t it?"
47491Do you remember coming this way?"
47491Do you think Matt would pull out and leave you?"
47491Great, ai n''t it, how luck takes a shoot, once in a w''ile?
47491Had Brisco been tracking the unfortunate actors, and had he attempted to make way with the tin box just as Legree was about to secure it?
47491Had Carl, giving rein to some wild impulse, cranked up the car and started for a night ride?
47491Had he been drugged now?
47491Had they taken it away to destroy it?
47491Have you any idea?"
47491He had heard that voice somewhere before-- but where?
47491Heah dat, Unc''Tawn?"
47491How did you happen to get hold of the scoundrels?"
47491How in blazes do you think that happened?"
47491How much water does it take ter drown yous, Uncle Tom?
47491How much yo''willin''tuh pay fo''an official mascot by de monf?"
47491How vill dot pox helup you ged holt oof Prisco?"

47491How''d he come to be along with King?"
47491How''ll you have us in the car, Motor Matt?"
47491I suppose you''re looking for Motor Matt?"
47491I''m wonderin''w''y Brisco dropped yous widin a short walk o''de hang- out-- dat is, if he was fixin''t''stay at de place?"
47491If I do n''t, and if anything happens to it, I''d look nice making my report to Tomlinson, would n''t I?"
47491If dat---- Wot''s de matter w''id yous?
47491If he could n''t get the Red Flier, why not take the runabout?
47491If it''s so valuable, why did n''t Legree take care of it himself?
47491If so, why, and by whom?
47491Is he killed?"
47491Is there a boy who has not longed to possess one of these swift little machines that scud about the roads everywhere throughout the United States?
47491Is there a boy, therefore, who will not be intensely interested in the adventures of"Motor Matt,"as he is familiarly called by his comrades?
47491Iss dere a pear aroundt here?"
47491Leedle Efa do n''t seem to cut mooch ice mit Legree, hey?

47491See?

47788Ai n''t that plain enough?"
47788And had he stopped off the other train to carry out some other treacherous scheme of Sercomb''s?
47788And what was Sercomb doing in the race?
47788Anythin''else I can tell you?
47788But could he get around the track completely and then cross the finish- line with a margin to his credit?
47788But what?
47788But where had he come from?
47788Ca n''t you arrange it, colonel?"
47788Can I depend on you, same terms Glick was to receive?

47788Had he been in an accident with the racing- car?
47788Had he lost his reason in some strange manner and only just recovered it?
47788Had his mind been unbalanced?
47788Have ye it for me?"
47788He began wondering if Sercomb and his gang had n''t had something to do with his mysterious departure from Ottawa?
47788He had been plunged in oblivion for forty- eight hours-- but_ how_, and_ why_?
47788He wants to drive a car in the race for the Bordon cup?"
47788Hey, Matt?"

47788Was that Motor Matt in the car, going over the course with Chub?
47788We''ve already been over the course four times, and what''s the use of going over it again to- day?"
47788Were the Bly- Lambert people to keep the Borden cup, or would Stark- Frisbie take it away from them?
47788What business is that of yours, anyway?
47788What did he do it for?"
47788What do you say to that?"
47788What good will it do King to go there, after being turned down by Colonel Plympton?"
47788What happened?"

47788Why did n''t he come, Carl?"
47788Why do n''t you go and see Trueman?
47788Why not let me take you over the course?"
47788Why was Ebenezer Slocum impersonating Colonel Plympton?
47788Why, then, was Sercomb continuing the hopeless fight?
47788Why?"

43509About what would you say it was worth?
43509Afraid you''ll sprain your ankle?
43509Ai n''t we going to have something to eat first?
43509And that is what?
43509And what about the mine?
43509And what did they try to make you do?
43509And what is the other plan?
43509And you did n''t even get a glimpse of the lake?
43509Any luck?
43509Anybody with you?
43509Are n''t you an Indian?
43509Are there any more of them?
43509Are you going to keep watch again to- night?
43509Are you going to lasso the snakes?
43509Are you hurt, Jerry?
43509Are you sure they have n''t killed me?
43509Are you sure you can not be mistaken about the mine?
43509Are you sure?
43509Are-- are any of them killed?
43509But he is still in possession, is n''t he?
43509But how in the world did you learn to run a car?
43509But we''ve got one gold mine now, what do we want of another?
43509But what sort of a ghost is it?
43509But what will we do about eating breakfast?
43509But why does any one want to find a lake hidden in the mountains?
43509Ca n''t I make a dash for some more? 43509 Ca n''t we drink any?"
43509Ca n''t we strike for those woods we saw a while ago?
43509Ca n''t you forget them for once, professor?
43509Ca n''t you put the toad in your pocket?
43509Can we get breakfast here, also?
43509Can you shoot?

43509Did you ever see it?
43509Did you fall in?
43509Did you hear anything?
43509Did you resist their claim?
43509Did you see me?
43509Did you see or hear anything?
43509Do you know Tommy Bell? 43509 Do you mean the automobile?"
43509Do you often camp out and eat in the woods like this?
43509Do you suppose he can be the hermit of Lost Lake?
43509Do you think it will be safe to stay here all night?
43509Do you think she is telling the truth about the hermit?
43509Do you think they want me?
43509Do you think they''ll catch up to us?
43509Get bitten?
43509Good evening,greeted the professor,"can we get supper and lodging anywhere about here?"
43509Has anything happened?
43509Have we broken your leg?
43509Have you any water? 43509 Have you found the gold?"
43509Have you got a bite to spare?
43509Have you the water?
43509Have you tried the emergency?
43509How can we get water without being shot?
43509How did you get here?
43509How did you get here?
43509How did you know where to find us?
43509How do you know that we will not betray you?
43509How do you like my pony?

43509How much farther can we go?
43509How you going to get rid of him?
43509How''s that?
43509How; by shaking it at''em?
43509How?
43509Hungry? 43509 Hunting for what?"
43509I can do that, ca n''t I?
43509I do n''t understand all them legal terms,put in Nestor,"but did n''t we make a good claim to the government for that mine?"
43509I say, is anybody going to relieve me?
43509I wonder if it is paying?
43509I wonder what it all means?
43509I wonder what that crash was?
43509I wonder where the professor is?
43509I wonder whether the bull wants to collect toll?
43509I wonder which we had better take?
43509If we''re alive? 43509 In the tree?
43509Is Professor Driedgrass in that bunch?
43509Is any one home? 43509 Is anybody killed?"
43509Is he badly hurt?
43509Is he worse, Tommy?
43509Is it a bug?
43509Is it a mountain lion?
43509Is she near by?
43509Is she running away?
43509Is some one firing at us?
43509Is that right?
43509Is that your name?
43509Is the Mexican camp near this main road?
43509Is the mine all right?
43509Is there anything wrong?
43509Is this man your father?
43509Is yo''all daid?
43509Know him?
43509Looking after? 43509 May we cook some of our food on your stove?"
43509Maybe you would like to go along with us and look for the lake?
43509Oh, why did n''t we get back sooner?
43509Or a Gila monster?
43509Shall we cross over to- night or wait until morning?
43509Shall we go right on now?
43509So that''s the way the land lays, eh?
43509Suppose we stop and look about before we go any further? 43509 Suppose we take that?"
43509The men who were after me?
43509The one the old man had on his back?
43509Then why do n''t she slow up? 43509 Then why do you keep ready to repel an enemy if none has molested you in that period?"
43509Then why not go with us?
43509Time for what?
43509Was the hermit always there?
43509Well, well, well, where in the world did you come from?
43509Well,said Jerry, a week later,"we came out all right, did n''t we?
43509Well?
43509Well?

43509What are we to do?
43509What are we to do?
43509What are you going to do?
43509What bag?
43509What can we do to save the hermit?
43509What did they want of your father?
43509What did you mean by saying that she would come whenever you called her?
43509What do they want of you?
43509What do you mean?
43509What do you say, shall we stay here another night or push on?
43509What do you want of him?
43509What do you want?
43509What does he mean?
43509What for; did you know him?
43509What good will that do?
43509What had we better do now?
43509What is it you are looking for?
43509What is it? 43509 What is it?"
43509What is it?
43509What is it?
43509What is it?
43509What is the man''s name?
43509What is the matter?
43509What is the news from Nestor?
43509What is your name?
43509What kind? 43509 What kind?"
43509What luck?
43509What makes her think such a thing?
43509What mine?
43509What name?
43509What other cabin?
43509What place, father? 43509 What right have you to follow this old man?"
43509What shall I do?
43509What shall we do?
43509What was in the bag?
43509What will become of Kate in the meanwhile?
43509What would you advise?
43509What''s all the excitement about?
43509What''s that about a rattlesnake?
43509What''s that your business?
43509What''s that? 43509 What''s that?"
43509What''s that?
43509What''s the game anyhow? 43509 What''s the matter with jumping from one of the outside windows?"
43509What''s the matter with that other cabin?
43509What''s the matter, are your fingers hurt?
43509What''s the matter, lost your collar button?
43509What''s the matter? 43509 What''s the matter?
43509What''s the matter? 43509 What''s the matter?"
43509What''s the matter?
43509What''s the matter?
43509What''s the matter?
43509What''s the matter?
43509What''s the matter?
43509What''s the matter?
43509What''s the matter?
43509What''s the trouble?
43509What''s the trouble?
43509What''s the trouble?
43509What''s to be done?
43509What-- why-- when-- where?
43509What? 43509 What?"
43509What?
43509When did you leave home?
43509Where are you going after you leave Lost Lake?
43509Where did they go?
43509Where did you meet her?
43509Where does he live?
43509Where have I heard that name before?
43509Where is he? 43509 Where is it?"
43509Where is the missing man?
43509Where is the nearest hotel?
43509Where''s it from?
43509Where?
43509Which way had we better go?
43509Who are you in danger from?
43509Who are you?
43509Who is he?
43509Who''ll crank up the car? 43509 Who''s there?
43509Who''s there?
43509Who''s there?
43509Who''s-- who''s there?
43509Who?
43509Why did n''t you run him down, and we could have some bear steaks for supper?
43509Why do n''t you ask for a bed too?
43509Why do n''t you two own up and say you''re afraid there''s a stray rattler or two under the machine, and you think it may bite you?
43509Why do you ask?
43509Why not? 43509 Why not?"
43509Why not?
43509Why not?
43509Why not?
43509Why so?
43509Why so?
43509Why so?
43509Why so?
43509Why, do you know him?
43509Why-- why what in the world ails him?
43509Why?
43509Why?
43509Will he die?
43509Will we?
43509Will you come in?
43509Will you help me hunt for him?
43509Will you show them the way back to camp?
43509Wo n''t it run on the low or intermediate gear?
43509Would n''t it be fun to have a lot of Indians chase us now?
43509Would you mind telling us about the woman?
43509Yes, tell us?
43509You do n''t think he''s a murderer, do you?
43509You mean a bullet?
43509You mean in case dad is dead?
43509A grasshopper with silver braid on?"
43509Ai n''t I your daddy?"
43509Are they attacking us?"
43509Are you hungry?"
43509Are you stage robbers?"
43509Are you sure there''s not a spring away in the rear?"
43509Bell?"
43509But what does he mean by stealing the car, and then bringing it back?"
43509CHAPTER II A NEST OF SERPENTS"What is it; a rattlesnake?"
43509CHAPTER XVI A LONELY CABIN"What hermit?"
43509CHAPTER XXV ATTACKED BY THE ENEMY"Are you sure the boy we have in mind is your son?"
43509CHAPTER XXVI ON THE ROAD AGAIN"Where in the world did you come from?"
43509Can we get a supper here?"
43509Diavolo?"
43509Get lost?"
43509Have they gone?"
43509Have you seen my dear son?
43509Have you struck a trace of it yet?"
43509He looked from the woman to the boys and the professor, and remarked:"To what am I indebted for the honor of this visit?"
43509He went to the opening and called down:"Tell us who you are or I''ll shoot, do you hear?"
43509How did I know the brake was n''t going to work just the time it was most needed?"
43509How much?"
43509I say, what''s the matter with having a hunt?"
43509I wonder what will come next?"
43509In that case--?"
43509Is Noddy Nixon trying to get it away from us again?"
43509Is he your father?"
43509Is some one after you?"
43509Is that so?"
43509Maybe that''s him coming back?"
43509Please stay; wo n''t you?"
43509Shall I shoot?"
43509Shall I?"
43509Some dry wood?"
43509That thing in white?"
43509The woman heard him, and turned:"Did you see him?"
43509We''ve been in tighter places than this and gotten out; have n''t we, fellows?"
43509What are we going to do?"
43509What are you talking about?"
43509What do you mean?"
43509What do you mean?"
43509What do you say, Professor?"
43509What do you want to call up unpleasant subjects for?"
43509What do you want?"
43509What was that?"
43509What yo''done want, anyhow?"
43509What''s that?"
43509Where are you?"
43509Where did you leave him?"
43509Where did you see him last?"
43509Which shall we take?"
43509Will she be able to live in these woods all alone?"
43509Will you not come into my cabin?"
43509Wo n''t he let you catch him?"
43509Would you like to see it?"
43509You''ve got the power off, have n''t you?"
29083Are you faint? 29083 Can you guess what I was doing?
29083Can you guess?
29083Come to remind me of my promise?
29083Could we go home?
29083Did he get the license?
29083Do I share the invitation?
29083Do I speak like a foreigner?
29083Do you give me leave to explore?
29083Do you know what I think?
29083Good gracious, but why a box of that''particular''date?
29083Good gracious, darling, whatever_ is_ it?
29083Has some one else got ahead of me?
29083Have you told Mr. Storm what you''re going to do for him?
29083Have-- have things been in the papers about us?
29083Have_ you_ got influence?
29083How do things go?
29083How do you do, Mr. Moyle? 29083 How do you do?"
29083How do you know she wo n''t move?
29083How_ are_ we to tell her?
29083I dare say you know several languages?
29083I hope you''re ready to tell her everything now?
29083I should n''t know how to keep a hotel, should I?
29083I suppose you do n''t know things about cars?
29083I wonder if Storm dances?
29083I''m just wondering,blundered Ed,"if by any chance the lady was absent- minded and mixed the messages?
29083I, too, have a plan, have n''t I, Miss Moore? 29083 Is there a cave?"
29083Is there anything I can do?
29083Meaning us?
29083Not dead?
29083Not even your hats?
29083Of course forty- one is_ old_,she explained to Jack and me,"but not for the father of a grown- up girl, is it?
29083Of course, I''m grateful, and it was ver- r- y good of you, but----"Did n''t you say you would_ love_ to live in that house?
29083Or perhaps you have given it? 29083 Pawned?"
29083Save him?
29083Say, who is that chap feeding over there with Storm?
29083Shall I drive, or will you?
29083Shall I take a peep at that fellow down there?
29083Shall we hold a council of war?
29083Shall we say to- morrow at ten o''clock in the morning, with you and Molly and nobody else in a stage box to watch the performance?
29083Shall we thwart them?
29083Shall we try again to give her a shove?
29083Shelter Islandis a charming name for a place to rest in after a strenuous life, do n''t you think?
29083The hotel suggestion was mine, was n''t it, Miss Moore?
29083The question is, how is it to be obtained? 29083 Was it the Grayles- Grice you thought of trying your hand on?"
29083Well, then, if I''m to take it for granted that you''ve no money, where do you come in?
29083What did I tell you about Larry?
29083What did you mean?
29083What do you mean?
29083What else could it be? 29083 What fellow has n''t?
29083What is the matter?
29083What point have n''t I proved?
29083What''s the matter?
29083What_ can_ it mean?
29083When will you like to go?
29083Who is Marcel?
29083Why a pity?
29083Why do n''t you speak up? 29083 Why does n''t somebody roll the old thing out of the way and let us go on?"
29083Why have a mad desire to become an ancestor for people you do n''t know and may dislike?
29083Why, too far, when you told me yourself that one of his handkerchiefs was found in my cousin''s room the morning after the murder?
29083Why-- what has happened?
29083You did n''t expect to find anybody but Larry, did you?
29083You do n''t mean you can get the one and only Marcel to take charge at Kidd''s Pines?
29083You do n''t think you''d better wait and hear what I want for my reward before you decide?
29083You do?
29083You mean, you think Mr. Moore-- er-- chose this way of giving you a_ dot_?
29083_ Can_ you?
29083( Are_ all_ men like that?)
29083( Do n''t you think from what I tell you that the signs and omens are good?)
29083( I wonder if the dear boys had already invented that lovely Yale yell, and gave it in Washington''s honour?)
29083( You''ll let that statement go unchallenged, wo n''t you?
29083--another:"And how_ does_ he come to be in the steerage?"
29083A knock brought no answer, but when I called,"May I come in?"
29083Again I ask you, What am I going to do about it?
29083Am I or am I not the''smart guy?''
29083Am I thrilled by the adventures of whaling- ships and their brave captains?"
29083Am I?
29083And I-- but what use to think of what I could have done?
29083And even if you did misunderstand, you might have concentrated on what you were doing for_ five_ minutes, do n''t you think?
29083And now what is it you want?"
29083And then, if he is so rich and so beau, and has the blood of the de Moncourts in his veins, what does the rest matter?
29083Anyhow, we invite you to Awepesha this afternoon; you, Mrs. Shuster----""And Mr. Storm, my new secretary?"
29083Are you tired of travelling with me and my Lightning Conductor?
29083As for Pat''s-- well, a girl''s hat should be her crowning glory, should n''t it?
29083Besides, if he were in the army, and on leave, Miss Moore''s friend would n''t speak of him as an American, would she?
29083But does n''t it make you love Peter?
29083But how could a British telegraph operator be expected to spell Awepesha?
29083But how--_how_ did he get them-- a poor man like him?"
29083But is n''t that better than mixing them up together?
29083But oh, what_ do_ you think he''s told me-- about Miss Moore''s father?"
29083But those names I''ve jotted down do call up pictures of life in the first settlers''days, do n''t they?
29083But what could I do?
29083But what do you think happened?
29083But what does it matter what he thinks, or you screw out of him?
29083But when I hurried on to the next question,"Have you fixed a date?"
29083But why should she say her"life was over?"
29083But with Marcel and Mr. Storm on one side, and Mr. Caspian with a gold- mine on the other, we choose Marcel-- don''t we, girlie?"
29083But you have n''t let yourself worry about her, have you, Mercédes?
29083But your ring you can not have till I am married to another man and his money gets it from the Uncle?"
29083But-- but I suppose he could n''t do anything very troublesome, could he, even if you envenomed him a little more?"
29083But--_what do you mean to do about my ring_?
29083But_ who_ helps Peter?
29083By the way, did you know that Cambridge is the first place where a printing press was set up in America?
29083By the way, did_ you_ ever hear of a Laurence Moore of Long Island, whose place is called Kidd''s Pines?
29083By the way, do n''t you hate the expression"exclusive"in connection with society?
29083By the way, may I ask, before I go further, where is Patricia?"
29083Can I undo everything and go back to the days before the revolution?
29083Can pines point?
29083Can you condescend to think of a thoroughly silly and frivolous trick?"
29083Can you picture to yourself, Mercédes, an American beauty rose suddenly transforming itself into an obstinate mule?
29083Can you see us two, after our secret visit to_ the_ house, getting into the car?
29083Caspian?"
29083Clever dodge, was n''t it?
29083Could you call a place dull which was first heard of historically in connection with a reward for killing wolves?
29083Could you forget names like"Speonk"and"Moriches?"
29083Could you pronounce the word"Ronkonkoma,"if nobody told you how, and you had not Indian ancestors haunting your heart?
29083Did I tell you just now that we were coming toward Marblehead?
29083Did we ever meet when I was a little girl?
29083Did you ever hear such a wicked lie?
29083Did you ever read what Thackeray said about Wenham Lake Ice?
29083Did you find him?"
29083Do I want to visit the sites of Indian massacres or Revolutionary battles?
29083Do n''t you know that?"
29083Do n''t you like the name"Watch Hill?"
29083Do n''t you see, Molly and Jack, that is it?
29083Do n''t you want to hear the rest?
29083Do you believe there are white men who can love like that?
29083Do you know it?
29083Do you know mine?"
29083Do you not think"Moon Pond"a fascinating name for a place?
29083Do you remember Swampscott was where he found pink and white Susan, who gave him the sugar heart?
29083Do you remember it''s told in dear Washington Irving''s"Knickerbocker History of New York?"
29083Do you remember that lonely graveyard in the woods, relic of some community of early settlers?
29083Do you remember"Ethan Brand"and"The Unpardonable Sin?"
29083Do you understand?
29083Do you wonder at the state of mine?
29083Does a mouse turn to the mice behind it and say,"Here is Mr. Camera- eyed Cat?"
29083Does pirate treasure lure me?
29083Does your respect for Long Island begin to grow?
29083Even if caught in the act of displaying his tongue to the doctor, I believe you''d say, should you see a snapshot:"Who_ is_ that man?"
29083Fancy saying,"Who_ was_ she?"
29083For it seems that critics must know better than me( or should I say"I?").
29083Have I locked the door between myself and happiness with such a girl as Patricia Moore, and is the key lost?
29083Have I told you about the Point of the Pines, I wonder?
29083Have n''t we read in the papers about immense buildings blowing up at Bridgeport since the war began?
29083Have you been pumping Marcel?
29083Have you done one person except yourself any good?
29083He went on, that he understood there must be money, for Larry''s sake, and if he could get money, quite a good deal, would I marry him?
29083He''s going to_ some_ lawyer, so why not Strickland?
29083How will_ she_ stand the situation he is exulting in?
29083I added to the question aforesaid--"Who_ is_ that man?"
29083I ca n''t understand any one_ not_ feeling that a motor is as companionable as a horse, can you?
29083I can hear you ask sharply,"How do you know this?"
29083I do hope Mr. Caspian is n''t telling the poor child about her father''s troubles?"
29083I do love those covered bridges, do n''t you?
29083I do wonder what the mystery_ can_ be, do n''t you?
29083I expect Aunt Mary''s( almost) first words to Jack will be,"Well, Mr. Winston--(oh,_ Captain_ is it, Molly?)
29083I guess, though, you''ve spent a good deal of time in other countries?"
29083I have a sort of impression-- but why be a croaking raven?
29083I hope they do, for I hate to think of everything going on when our backs are turned as when we are there to see, do n''t you?
29083I live in a story of fairies, and I ask myself, is it too good to last?
29083I said,"Are we to carry all these in the car?
29083I see what''s in your head-- don''t I?"
29083I seem to associate you with-- with my father, as if you''d been a friend of his?"
29083I simply would, would n''t you?
29083I suppose even Monty knows about Captain Kidd?
29083I think I''ve told you I know him_ very_ well?"
29083I told you, did n''t I, that there was pretty sure to be news at half- past midnight?
29083I wanted to have inscribed on my tombstone:"What did he do for the good of womankind?
29083I wished I were as common as_ mud_, and could have gasped out"_ Gosh!_"I''ve told you a good deal about Mrs. Shuster, have n''t I?
29083I wonder if I can make_ you_ see what it''s like?
29083I wonder if anything half as epoch- making will ever come to pass under the great gold dome of the new one?
29083I wonder if the place has changed much since that sixteenth birthday of my Mercédes?
29083I wonder if you ought to consult an aurist, dear lady?
29083I wonder if you remember that night-- my last on this side of the water-- as well as I do?
29083I wonder what he would say nowadays when they are Allies?
29083I wonder what, from all I have told you, Mercédes,_ you_ think of him?
29083I''m not sure he is n''t right, are you?
29083I, having permanently promoted the family fortunes, will our friend"Larry"jog on quietly with the bit in his mouth?
29083I_ do_ think men are nice, do n''t you?...
29083If I can make a thousand out of seventy- five, what ca n''t I make out of a thousand?
29083If everything comes off as Patsey expects it to do( and after all, as I said, why should n''t it?)
29083If he lost it----""Heavens, man, if he lost it, do n''t you see that Patricia Moore''s the sort of girl to feel she owed him allegiance?"
29083If only I could retaliate in kind, could n''t I be cattish?
29083Indeed,_ none_ have quite the individuality they used to have when they were a new breed of beasts; do n''t you find it so?
29083Is it anything to do with housekeeping worries?
29083Is it hard to do, or could I help when I finish a long letter I write to- morrow?
29083Is n''t it a_ wonderful_ idea, to help her poor father?
29083Is n''t it charming that a river called the Mystic should run, or, rather, gently dawdle, through a world like this?
29083Is n''t it_ nice_ that her name should be Angéle?
29083Is that what I''m to understand?"
29083Is that worse or better, think you?
29083Is this man''s name Marcel Moncourt?"
29083Is your brain equal to the calculation?
29083It appears that our vaudevillain( is n''t that a nice name for dear Eddy?)
29083It did n''t seem likely that where so many men had failed I should succeed; still, I''d driven a Grayles- Grice( you remember, do n''t you?)
29083It does annoy me when Europeans patronize us about being a new country, does n''t it you?
29083It is n''t true, is it, that you''re an American?"
29083It makes a nice story anyhow, does n''t it?
29083It may be conceited( or is n''t it conceit to boast of one''s husband?
29083It''s a fine entrance into the old Pilgrim town, is n''t it?
29083It''s just as if you asked them,"How do I get to the sea?"
29083Larry has such luck at the games of chance, nearly always, he did not stop to think,"What will happen if I lose?"
29083May I come down, Miss Moore?
29083May I come up and help you down?
29083Mr. Peter Storm( perhaps I''ve mentioned this?)
29083Murmuring something more like a hiccup than a"How do you do?"
29083Nice name, is n''t it?
29083Now can you fancy what Easthampton is like?
29083Now have I made everything clear, I wonder, up to the time when the_ Lusitania_ went down and Pietro Stanislaws was reborn as Peter Storm?
29083Now we may be able to help(?)
29083Now, have n''t I worked up to him well?
29083Now, is it not mysterious: a house without a name, belonging to a nameless man?
29083Now, what should_ you_ say Peter did to quell Camera- eyed Dick?
29083Now, would you believe a village called"Quogue"could be pretty?
29083One of them wanted to know what we were waiting for?
29083Or can I with your help find the key, oil the lock, and open the door?
29083Or do I prefer the Dutch?
29083Or does my taste run in the direction of the English?
29083Or had I better polish off our own family history and make a clean sweep of ourselves before beginning on anybody else?
29083P. S. I suppose he_ ca n''t_ be a blackmailer?
29083P. S. I_ do_ think it was fun about the box from Miss Robinson''s, do n''t you?
29083Perhaps that is your secret?"
29083Rats leave sinking ships, do n''t they?
29083Seriously, my child, I do n''t want to intrude; but we''re friends, are n''t we?
29083Shall I take you into the open air?"
29083She flushed at the immense, the inconceivable compliment, for Marcel Moncourt, I suppose( do n''t you?
29083Shuster?"
29083Shuster?"
29083So that''s all right, is n''t it?"
29083Sounds like a moving picture"cut in,"does n''t it?
29083That is one of the things one does n''t ask a man, is it not?
29083That is why I ask myself,"Can such things go on?"
29083That same night we had what Molly Winston calls sholes( or is it shoals?)
29083That sounds romantic, is it not?
29083That was nice of him, was n''t it?
29083That was pathetic, do n''t you find?
29083The people at the hotel told us we should find a bad road for motors, but what was that to us, who call ourselves pioneers in the motor world?
29083The question is-- though you may n''t think me very gallant to ask it-- is there any fear of its working the other way round?
29083There was one in the eye for Caspian; and it gave me my opportunity to murmur with mere perfunctory politeness(?)
29083They bawled out a question: Had any of us"folks"seen two fellows on motor bikes?
29083They spell it"Honble"on letters or the lists of passengers, but you do not call them by it at all, which is odd; because if not, what is its use?
29083This explanation raised such a_ weird_ picture( ca n''t you see the thing happening?)
29083This seems a good deal to expect from a three or four days''motoring trip, does n''t it?
29083Two must be spoken of as"persons"according to Aunt M., and I ca n''t address you as"Dear Persons,"can I?
29083Was it not good chance that Larry had them put in?
29083Was it the look, or was it the way he shook hands?
29083Was n''t it sporting when you think of what ships were then?
29083We ought to get some fun out of this-- what?"
29083We sha n''t make a bad- looking pair trotting around together-- what?
29083We''d better consider him a friend and let him pass-- what?"
29083What are you_ for_, my dear man, except to take trouble off the shoulders of others on to your own?
29083What can you get anywhere older than that?
29083What did I do in the West and in the South?
29083What do you know about_ that_?
29083What do you suppose the prize was?
29083What do you think she has done, when it burst out that Larry and I were poor as the mice of churches?
29083What good was it to any one, then?
29083What is he really?
29083What kind of a steward have you been of the great enterests intrusted to you?
29083What kind of creature will sigh for the far- off quaintness of_ our_ days and make fun of our spelling?
29083What matter if we did go wrong, and risk missing West Point to reach Tuxedo, instead of saving the latter till next day?
29083What more could be asked of him for the good of his child than to consent that so beautiful an old property should be vulgarized as an hotel?
29083What of Taunton, for instance?
29083What''s the use of one''s subconscious self if it does n''t nudge one''s subjective self and whisper that_ it_ was born knowing?
29083What_ has_ become of the adored Larry?
29083Why did n''t Nature make me understand myself as I begin to understand now?
29083Why do we-- you and I and the rest of us-- dash over to Europe before we''re old enough to see much of and appreciate our own country?
29083Why should it not be"up the spout,"instead of in a jewel- box?
29083Why should this unimportant and poor young man have an influence so extraordinary over Marcel Moncourt?
29083Will you let me have a look at yours?"
29083Winston?"
29083Would it be fair to others concerned?
29083Would it do good if you prayed to Saint Anthony of Padua to find it for me again?
29083Would you be so very kind as to let your chauffeur drive me home at once?"
29083Yet is it too late?
29083Yet what was to be done?
29083You and I had no such fancies in our heads that night, had we?
29083You can guess pretty well by people''s faces whether they''re saying to themselves,"How long will it take me to_ get_ there?"
29083You have no doubt heard of the very fine mansion on Long Island, tentatively called"the Stanislaws House?"
29083You know how, when I want to get things out of people, I disguise myself with a spaniel smile and spaniel eyes?
29083You know that engaging effect?
29083You know that thrilling corner in pictures, leading somewhere you are dying to see and never can?
29083You know the look as well as the"feel,"do n''t you?
29083You remember I wrote about the Russian Military Attaché from Washington, who recognized Peter and was mesmerically suppressed by him at New London?
29083You remember that he''s a Mason?
29083You remember that wonderful street of lawns and trees with a perfect specimen of an old church?
29083You say to yourself,"Do I prefer Indian history and names?
29083You_ have_ won them back?"
29083[ Illustration: map]* Did you ever see what they call the"jewel flower?"
29083_ Why_ would it be inconvenient for our fair Lily to have her secretary return to- morrow?
29083are n''t there any?"
29083or,"_ Can_ those beautiful black trees in front of that_ darling_ white house be Irish yews?"
29083or,"_ Did_ they call it Jamesport after King James the Second of England?"
29083or,"_ Do n''t_ you think Southold''s the most adorable old town we''ve seen_ yet_?"
11257''Winona;''is that the boat we are going in? 11257 A cane?
11257A policeman?
11257And do n''t you feel sorry for me-- not a bit?
11257And how did you get home? 11257 And how do you do, Granny?"
11257And how''ve you been, mum, since the last time I''ve seen yer?
11257And pray how did she take it?
11257And these things a- shinin''down over the bed: who''s these?
11257And what is''a ole maid,''you little witch?
11257And you have n''t bought anything?
11257And, mother, do n''t you really believe now the Lord did send her, just as much as if she dropped down out of the sky?
11257Are n''t you glad to come?
11257Are you quite sure?
11257Are you willing to carry crosses, Prudy? 11257 Auntie, is it wicked to wear jewels, if your grandma''s a Quaker?"
11257Beats all, do n''t she?
11257But do n''t you get down- hearted, living all alone?
11257But do n''t you remember, my boy, I advised you to leave it at home? 11257 But have n''t you found Fly yet?"
11257But he ca n''t scold; for did n''t he keep me waiting, too? 11257 But how could it be taken out, and I not know it?"
11257But how''d you take out yer teeth?
11257But is this the handsomest place they''ve got in New York, without any carpet to it?
11257But supposing you could n''t have but one?
11257But was n''t it just_ like_ a rainbow-- red, blue and green?
11257But when you are sick, Granny?
11257But where did you come from, Katie? 11257 But who found the money?
11257But why not have Grace go, too, to keep them steady?
11257But would n''t it be nice if somebody should ask you to go somewhere to spend Christmas?
11257But you do n''t look old,said Dotty, consolingly;"you do n''t look married any more than Aunt Louise?"
11257But, auntie, do you have perfect faith in the story that woman tells? 11257 But, auntie, is n''t it wicked to wear paint on your cheeks?"
11257By''spress?
11257Carry our dinner in a basket?
11257Course I can; What_ is_ a_ secrid_?
11257Did he drop it on Quamby Street?
11257Did n''t I tell you she was an angel?
11257Did she cross the street?
11257Did she give it back?
11257Did you go to the''Brooklyn Eagle''office, to- day, to ad-_ver_-tise some lost money, little boy?
11257Did you put mine in the same pocket?
11257Did you tell me he knew Colonel Allen?
11257Did you walk up Orange Street?
11257Do n''t be afraid,said Mrs. Brooks;"it''s only pa; would n''t the little girl like to talk to him?
11257Do n''t mind going to the Museum alone, I suppose, and crossing ferries, and riding in the Park, and being out after dark?
11257Do n''t you know? 11257 Do n''t you remember what you said, Prudy?"
11257Do you mean Stewart''s store?
11257Do you see some steps?
11257Do you suppose she''s gone off and hid?
11257Does God dress''em in a cloak and bonnet, you s''pose?
11257Does he stay in it all night?
11257Does she truly?
11257Does she? 11257 For do n''t we know she has wings on her heels?"
11257Gone off? 11257 Gone?
11257Granny?
11257Have a free ride, little girl?
11257Have things to eat?
11257Have you any butter- scotch to- day, Granny?
11257Hear, now, what your Aunt Madge has written:''Will you lend me your children for the holidays, Maria? 11257 Hollis,"whispered Katie immediately afterwards,"will I take my mouses?"
11257Horace, my son, do you really feel equal to the task of taking this tuft of feathers to New York?
11257Horace,said Aunt Madge, as they seated themselves,"where is your money?"
11257Horace,said Dotty, meekly,"are you willing to carry my gloves?"
11257How do you do, little one? 11257 How long has your husband been sick?"
11257How would you all like to go out by and by, and take the air?
11257How? 11257 I hope you have n''t got lost, little dear?"
11257I should like to know,said Dotty,"what all those great wooden things are made for?
11257I''d ravver have the candy''_ thout_ blind- eyed?
11257I''ll lose me, and then how''ll he feel?
11257If I were you, Dot, I would n''t be any more disagreeable than I was absolutely obliged to.--Now, auntie, how much does it cost to advertise?
11257Is it possible these are the same children I used to see at Willowbrook? 11257 Is mine gone, too?"
11257Is she married?
11257Is this what we came to New York for?
11257Little try- patiences, both of them,thought Prudy;"but then they''ve always had their own way, and what can you expect?
11257Look,cried Aunt Madge, coming up to them with Prudy;"did you ever before see a span of horses with a dog running between them?"
11257Maria? 11257 Me?
11257Mine,--is mine gone too?
11257Money safe? 11257 Money?
11257Mother, did you ever see such eyes? 11257 Need n''t folks put their hands in, and take some out the barrels?
11257Nice ole lady, loved little gee- urls; but what you s''pose folks was goin''to cry into now?
11257No, I mean Cranberry Street?
11257No, my boy; how could she when she had n''t it to give?
11257No; I said,_ whobody_ could I tell? 11257 Nobody in it, at all?"
11257Nor anybody else?
11257Not there?
11257Now is n''t this just splendid?
11257Now, Dotty,said Prudy, suppressing a great sob in her effort to"behave like a lady,""what''s the use?
11257Now, little folks, if you have eaten sufficiently, and are thoroughly rested, shall we start for home? 11257 O, Hollis, but he must?"
11257O, Hollis, do n''t you see there''s a dolly over there, with two girls and a lady with red clo''es on? 11257 O, Kitty Clifford, Kitty Clifford,"she cried,"when''ll you be a cat?"
11257O, auntie, how can I thank you? 11257 O, dear, what''ll I do?
11257O, nobody said so, Fly; only we thought p''rhaps you was; and_ what_ would we do without you, you know?
11257O, what''d you send the p''lice after her for? 11257 O, where are you?"
11257O, will you take me? 11257 Of course you took her to a good physician?"
11257Of course,said Dotty, quickly;"but look here; do n''t you think''twould be safer not to let Fly go with us?
11257Pick-- my-- pocket?
11257Pretty soon, if you can catch mice as well as you can mew,laughed auntie;"but look you, my dear; are you going to bed to- night?
11257See my beautiful flowers,said the old crone, pointing to the table before her;"who cares for them jumping things over yonder?
11257So she did,said Horace, looking as bewildered as if he had been whirling around with his eyes shut;"so she did-- didn''t she?
11257So you do n''t approve of husbands, Granny?
11257That was a pretty way to speak to her, I should think,said Dotty;"but ca n''t you just please to hush while auntie is talking?"
11257That''s a jolly way to use your money,whispered he to Prudy;"much good may it do her?"
11257That? 11257 The name of it is-- a secret, and the secret is this-- Sure you wo n''t tell any single body, Topknot?"
11257There are times when she can see? 11257 There, girls, what did I tell you?"
11257There, now, Hollis,said Fly, drawing her mouth down and her eyebrows up,"where''s my skipt?
11257There, that will do,said Aunt Madge, her large gray eyes trying not to twinkle;"did she ever say her prayers before?"
11257There, who else noticed that?
11257This other window is the handsomest, Fly; do n''t I wish I had some of those beautiful dripping, red ear- rings?
11257Topknot, how could you be so rude?
11257Uncle''Gustus who? 11257 Very well, Granny; and how do things prosper with you?"
11257Well, mum, what''d be the use to cry? 11257 Well, who wants to smoke?
11257What are scallops?
11257What do you mean?
11257What if the conductor should n''t let her pass?
11257What is his name?
11257What is it, Horace?
11257What makes you shut your eyes up, right in the street, girl? 11257 What street and number?"
11257What was the number of the store? 11257 What will you have, my little lady?"
11257What''d I do?
11257What''s going on there between you and Horace?
11257What''s the matter, now? 11257 What''s the name of you, girl?"
11257What''s your auntie''s name?
11257What, that pretty posy for me? 11257 What?
11257Where did it come from? 11257 Where did you come from, you runaway?"
11257Where did you have your purse last?
11257Where do you live?
11257Where then?
11257Where''s Stewart''s?
11257Where''s the baby, Hollis? 11257 Where?
11257Who bringed it?
11257Who brought it?
11257Who did you come to New York to see?
11257Who hurted''em?
11257Who said I''s dead? 11257 Who''s Hollis?"
11257Who''ve you got there, Maria?
11257Who? 11257 Whose little grampa is that?"
11257Whose nose, Fly?
11257Why could n''t I go up, too?
11257Why, how did that kitty get in here?
11257Why, is that you?
11257Why, she''s been and carried off her mother''s fireplace,thought Fly, shaking her cloak in disgust;"what you s''pose she wanted to do that for?"
11257Why, where is she? 11257 Why, where''s Hollis?"
11257Will you be quite as sure of yourself another time, think?
11257Will you have a_ hanker_, my pretty miss?
11257Will you have oysters or scallops?
11257Will you, auntie? 11257 Wo n''t you light the la- amp?"
11257Wo n''t you light the la- amp?
11257Wo n''t you light the la- amp?
11257Wo n''t you light the lamp?
11257Yes, I_ hear_.--H''m, he thinks my ears are thick as ears o''corn? 11257 Yes, as sure as I want to be?"
11257Yes, ma''am-- yes; were you there? 11257 Yes, to be sure; but you do n''t want to go home bare- handed-- do you?"
11257You did n''t? 11257 You do n''t mean to say that was Fly Clifford?"
11257You know you''ve got an aunt Madge?
11257You saw her, Miss Policeman Flyaway?
11257_ Do n''t_ her nose jiggle?
11257_ In_-deed?
11257_ My_ money is safe,said self- righteous Dotty, as they walked away;"do n''t you wish you_ had_ given yours to me, Prudy?"
11257''Haps they''d be willing for her to get''quainted with Flipperty?"
11257A handkerchief?"
11257And how''d I know where to go to?
11257And what''s all this paper?"
11257And why should she?--Look here, Topknot; which would you rather do?
11257And you must be thinking of something else still, or you''d ask me--""O, yes, auntie; how did the thief happen to give it up?
11257And yours, Dotty?
11257Any more remarks from anybody?"
11257Are n''t you glad it is n''t you?
11257Are you sure?"
11257As if she was glad of it, too?
11257Ca n''t you find the camphor bottle?"
11257Can I go to that doctor?"
11257Clifford?"
11257Did Horace have his pockets picked?"
11257Did I drop it on Cranberry Street?"
11257Did he find the money?"
11257Did n''t come to New York to take a joke,--did you?"
11257Did you go in with a lady, and a leetle, oneasy, springy kind of a leetle girl?"
11257Did you just drop down out of the sky?"
11257Do n''t she sit up like a lady?"
11257Do n''t you see her kissing her hand?
11257Do n''t you see you''re right in the way?"
11257Do n''t you suppose Horace feels bad enough without being scolded at?"
11257Do you keep it in the same pocket with your handkerchief?"
11257Do you know your aunt''s husband''s name?"
11257Do you suppose I''d trust those wee, wee feet to go flying over East River?"
11257Do you suppose, if he knew the facts of the case, he''d be willing to let you suffer?
11257Do you want all creation laughing at you?
11257Do-- you--_hear_?"
11257Flyaway turned quickly around to Aunt Madge, and said, in one of her very loud whispers,"What''s the matter with her?
11257For what do they care?
11257Had he been asleep all day?
11257Has he got to stay sick?
11257Have they shut the house up?"
11257Have your eyes put out, and lots of candy to eat,_ or_, your eyes all good, and not a speck of candy as long as you live?"
11257Here''s a letter in the corner; what is it?"
11257How could she look like them?
11257How could you drop the wallet?
11257How do you sell''em?"
11257How do you suppose he happened to get in there?"
11257How had he ever dared bring such a will- o''-the- wisp away from home?
11257How had his mother consented to let him?
11257How was one to find out?
11257How would you like some oysters?
11257I mean, did I go into the same store, or is this a different one?
11257I think a journey to Brooklyn is about enough for one day-- don''t you?
11257Is it not a common thing, in this degenerate age, for grown people to frown and shake their heads, while little people do exactly as they please?
11257Is my name on the inside?"
11257Is that all?"
11257Is the_ seeingness_ all gone out of''em?"
11257Let''s see; would n''t it be best to advertise?"
11257Miss Dimple was never very bashful; and what did she care for the people in New York, who never saw her before?
11257Now, where were the brown houses?
11257O, Aunt Madge,_ are_ you an angel?"
11257O, Prudy, where''s your wallet?
11257O, look, there''s another boy; do n''t you see him?
11257O, where?"
11257Or was he asleep now?
11257Please tell me, ma''am, have you got it with you?
11257S''pose I want''em marching me off to the lockup?"
11257S''pose I''s going to sit there all day?
11257Say, did you ever?
11257Sha n''t I be thankful when I get where there''s a woman to take care of her?"
11257She remembered hearing"Phibby"say to"Tinka,""Do n''t that child look like an angel?"
11257Suppose we both go up stairs a few minutes?"
11257Tell me, child, how does he look?"
11257That did very well to talk about; but what could you do with a child that was n''t made of flesh and blood, but the very lightest kind of gas?
11257The child really was ashamed-- thoroughly ashamed; but do you suppose she admitted it to Horace?
11257The idea of that poor child''s rubbing anything into her eyes?
11257Then why for did the folks put''em on''doors?"
11257There was a girl with a long curl, and she said,''Go to the''pothecary''s;''and what would Fly have known where she meant?
11257There, now,_ did_ I tell?"
11257To put her in the lockup, and make her cry and think she''s been naughty?
11257Was he the one?
11257Well, what else you got in your pocket?
11257What do you know about it?"
11257What does this mean?"
11257What has become of it?"
11257What have we here?
11257What is that little thing he''s switching himself with?"
11257What shall we do?
11257What should Dotty Dimple know about a City Directory?
11257What should I catch a little girl for?"
11257What would Grandma Read say?"
11257What you got that you can give me for it?
11257What''s your name, dear?"
11257When did you come?"
11257When''d she go?"
11257When?
11257Where are they gone?"
11257Where did the old woman find it?
11257Where do you live?"
11257Where shall I leave them if you''re sick, and ca n''t be here?"
11257Where was the glass window she had walked on?
11257Where?"
11257Who else is gone?
11257Who picked my pockets?"
11257Why upon earth ca n''t you sit still, child?"
11257Why, I-- I--""Wo n''t you light the la- amp?"
11257Why, pa, ai n''t that too bad?
11257Why, what''s an_ ave_?
11257Will that do, Mrs. Brooks?
11257Will that do?"
11257Will you accept the charge?"
11257Will you go into this shop, then, and wait till I call for you?"
11257Will you run away from Cousin Dotty, again?"
11257Will you run away from brother Hollis again?"
11257You went round doing good-- didn''t you, dear?"
11257_ Whobody_ else could I?
11257_ my_ skipt?"
11257and do n''t the dog have to trot, to keep up?
11257cried Flyaway, pulling away from aunt Madge, who was trying to pin her frock together;"_ we_ came by a''ductor.--Why, where''s Flipperty''s ticket?"
11257moaned Dotty;"to be waked up in the middle of the night by folks singing?"
11257or shall I shut you down cellar?"
11257said Fly;"your teeth?
11257what do you expect of such a baby?"
11257what''d he go off for, then, and leave me there, sitting on a piano stool?
11257your teeth?"
42748A gold mine, eh?
42748A lost mine?
42748Accident?
42748Ai n''t much on the talk, be ye, stranger?
42748Ai n''t that what the kids cry when they see a busted auto?
42748Ai n''t there goin''to be a trial?
42748Ai n''t this the Grand Hotel, where I was to meet the boys that befriended old Jim Nestor?
42748All filed reg''lar an''''cordin''to law, I s''pose?
42748All quiet?
42748All ready, boys?
42748An''who might you be?
42748And be killed?
42748And how did he and Pender come together?
42748And what do you propose?
42748Anything happened?
42748Are n''t you going to file and record that claim?
42748Are snow storms common here the end of September?
42748Are there any bears around here?
42748Are we in any danger?
42748Are you bound for any particular place?
42748Are you hurt?
42748Are you sure he was here?
42748Are you sure you hit the tire, Bill?
42748Are you sure you will be all right now?
42748Are you sure, Bill?
42748Aren''t-- we go- going a-- a-- trifle fast?
42748Batter- cakes?
42748Be you the doctor?
42748But are you hurt?
42748But ca n''t I file this paper?
42748But can we establish a claim to it?
42748But what about leaving you behind?
42748But what can their object be?
42748But what have you there?
42748But what''s the trouble up ahead?
42748But what''s the use of rubbin''our misfortune in?
42748But what''s to be done?
42748But what-- why-- how?
42748But, Mr. Sheriff, had n''t you better take some help along? 42748 Ca n''t we save him?"
42748Ca n''t we stop and get some water?
42748Ca n''t you see without having to be told?
42748Can we go on?
42748Can we have one?
42748Come, are you going to stay there all day?
42748Did you catch Noddy?
42748Did you ever see an automobile turn a somersault?
42748Did you get him?
42748Did you see any one?
42748Did you see them?
42748Did you shoot right through the pile and come out on the other side?
42748Did you think I''d run you down?
42748Did you walk all the way?
42748Do you mean to stop the car and let them git ahead of us?
42748Do you s''pose they kept on goin''all night?
42748Do you suppose some one came and carried him off?
42748Do you suppose they will try to get to the mine ahead of us?
42748Do you think they could make a trip away out West in their car?
42748Do you think you can stand it as far as Chicago?
42748Do you want us to trail along and pull you again if you get stuck?
42748Gentlemen?
42748Go close enough so one of us can jump in the carriage?
42748Gone crazy or are you gittin''your second childhood?
42748Gone?
42748Got what?
42748Got ye in kind of a tight place, did n''t they?
42748Guns?
42748Had n''t we better skip?
42748Had we better start right away?
42748Had yer suppers?
42748Has anything happened?
42748Have they escaped?
42748Have we any water aboard?
42748Have we any, Jerry?
42748Have you anything to say before we string you up?
42748Have you boys got guns?
42748Have you got the rattlesnake?
42748He did n''t, eh? 42748 Hob- nails, did you say, eh?"
42748How about Berry and Pender?
42748How about it?
42748How are you?
42748How can you tell?
42748How did you ever get down there?
42748How do you boys like it?
42748How do you know?
42748How far is it to the Government office?
42748How will you manage it?
42748How you goin''to git rid of the tree?
42748How you goin''to prevent it?
42748How?
42748Howdy, strangers?
42748Howdy?
42748I say, have you a rope?
42748I take it you''re in charge here?
42748I wonder how they got in shape so quickly after we took their batteries?
42748I wonder if it made''em lay up for repairs?
42748I wonder if they have done any mischief to ours?
42748I wonder if we''ll get any letters by this mail?
42748I wonder what Noddy''s game is?
42748I wonder what he is doing in New York?
42748I wonder what''s the trouble now?
42748I wonder who did it?
42748I wonder who it is?
42748I''ll explain it all,said Nestor;"but, first, had n''t you better fix these batteries on our machine?
42748In for what?
42748Is he dead?
42748Is he so valuable?
42748Is he very sick?
42748Is n''t that a motor cycle leaning against the building?
42748Is that all, pardner?
42748Is that thunder?
42748Is the auto smashed?
42748Is there no way out?
42748Is this a hold- up?
42748It looks as if they had us, do n''t it?
42748It''s healthier where I am,said Dalsett,"but, just to show you that we have the advantage-- how''s that?"
42748It''s my machine, ai n''t it?
42748Let us through, will you? 42748 Matter?"
42748Must we start right away?
42748Not getting afraid, are you, Chunky?
42748Not so bad for a starter, eh, Ned?
42748Now I wonder what we''d better do?
42748Now what I want to know is, can you boys go there, or near there, in your choo- choo cart? 42748 Now, then, wot''s all this rush about?"
42748Off his trolley?
42748Oh, it''s you, is it?
42748Oh, that''s your game, is it?
42748One of the professor''s grasshoppers bite you?
42748Queer that both Noddy and Jack should turn thieves, is n''t it?
42748Queer, is n''t it?
42748Rattlesnake?
42748Rattlesnake?
42748S''pose we could take a few turns?
42748Shall I let''em go or stop''em?
42748Shall we shoot?
42748Shall we take after Noddy and Pender?
42748Shall we wait here until he gets well?
42748Shall we wing one or two just to show we have bullets?
42748Smell that?
42748So that''s their plan, eh?
42748So you got it after all, eh?
42748So you''re here, are you?
42748Speaking of sudden stops, I wonder what has become of the man in the green car?
42748The President?
42748The doctor? 42748 The question is, shall we take the old man back in the auto with us, or run back to town and bring out a doctor?"
42748Then what good is it?
42748Then what made you yell''Git a horse''?
42748Then whose was it?
42748Then you think we ought to let the boys go?
42748Then, why not come along with us?
42748Thought you was smart to take our batteries, did n''t you?
42748Want any help?
42748Want to come along?
42748Was n''t yours?
42748Well, boys,exclaimed Mr. Wakefield at that instant, entering their room,"are you all ready for supper?"
42748Well, what''s to be done?
42748Well?
42748Well?
42748What about filing the claim?
42748What about my horse?
42748What ails you?
42748What are they coming this way for?
42748What are you going to do about the miner?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What are you going to do?
42748What became of that chap with one eye and a scar on his left cheek?
42748What cave?
42748What difference does it make?
42748What do you mean?
42748What do you mean?
42748What do you say, Chunky?
42748What do you want most?
42748What for?
42748What for?
42748What game?
42748What if I have?
42748What in the world did you do to them?
42748What is it, a rattlesnake?
42748What is it? 42748 What is it?"
42748What is it?
42748What is it?
42748What is it?
42748What is it?
42748What is the legal limit?
42748What is, to see a light in a hut?
42748What is?
42748What kind is it?
42748What luck?
42748What makes you think so?
42748What makes you think some are loose now?
42748What names did you say?
42748What next? 42748 What part of the story do you want him to tell us himself?"
42748What place is it?
42748What shall we do?
42748What shall we do?
42748What sort of a magician are you?
42748What sort of game did ye git this trip?
42748What then?
42748What was I saying?
42748What will you do for supper?
42748What would be the use?
42748What''ll we do with this lad?
42748What''s all the noise about?
42748What''s all this I hear about a trip to the West these boys are going to take?
42748What''s all this for?
42748What''s happened?
42748What''s happened?
42748What''s that for?
42748What''s that?
42748What''s that?
42748What''s that?
42748What''s that?
42748What''s that?
42748What''s the first thing to do?
42748What''s the matter up there?
42748What''s the matter with you?
42748What''s the matter, have they taken our machine?
42748What''s the matter-- want to take another nag?
42748What''s the matter? 42748 What''s the matter?"
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the matter?
42748What''s the trouble, anyhow?
42748What''s the use?
42748What''s your hurry, mate?
42748When can you start?
42748Where am I? 42748 Where am I?
42748Where are we?
42748Where is Jerry?
42748Where is he?
42748Where is it?
42748Where is it?
42748Where is the patient?
42748Where might they be located?
42748Where ye from?
42748Where ye goin''?
42748Where''d you come from?
42748Where''s Professor Snodgrass?
42748Where''s my specimen box?
42748Where? 42748 Who are they?"
42748Who are you?
42748Who do you think the crowd in charge of the other auto was?
42748Who said anything about a snake? 42748 Who says I fired a shot?"
42748Who''s sick?
42748Who''s stolen any nags around here?
42748Who?
42748Who?
42748Who?
42748Who?
42748Whose turn to crank her up?
42748Why ca n''t we?
42748Why ca n''t you?
42748Why do n''t you help me, Jack?
42748Why not?
42748Why not?
42748Why not?
42748Why so, young man?
42748Why, ai n''t you heard? 42748 Why, what''s all the fuss about?"
42748Will it last long?
42748Will it take long now?
42748Will they-- will they kill us?
42748Will you please wait ten minutes before you make a final decision?
42748Will you sell that machine for three thousand dollars?
42748Would you like to see it?
42748You do n''t mean real Indians?
42748Ai n''t them what you want?"
42748Am I right?"
42748Are we right?"
42748Are you boys coming along?
42748Are you tryin''to fool me?"
42748But how do you feel?"
42748But what do you want of it now?"
42748But what''s the use talkin''?
42748But would n''t we have to wait until next spring?
42748Can you go as far as Arizona in that wagon of yours?"
42748Do you deny that you disturbed the peace?"
42748Have a nugget?
42748Have n''t we had excitement enough for one day?"
42748He looked sharply at Jerry and exclaimed:"Oh, you''ve come back, have you?
42748How far ahead is it now?"
42748How much do I owe you?"
42748Noddy called, in a little louder whisper,"can you sneak away?
42748Now I wonder what I''d better do?"
42748Now will your folks let you go?"
42748Shall I turn around and accompany you?"
42748Slade?"
42748So the papers are filed, eh?
42748The next instant Jerry fired in the air, and called out:"Who goes there?"
42748The other car ca n''t beat us, can it?"
42748The place on fire?"
42748They had covered several miles and were descending a long hill, when Jerry called out:"What''s that ahead, there?"
42748What happened?"
42748What happened?"
42748What is it?"
42748What was that?"
42748What''s that?"
42748What''s this?
42748What''s your name and where did you come from?"
42748Where are you?"
42748Where is the boy who took my gold?"
42748Who do you suppose is in the car?"
42748Who robbed him, I wonder?"
42748Why?"
42748cried the cowboy, angrily, but not returning the fire,"do n''t you know better than to shoot a gentleman''s hat off?"
43204A burglar? 43204 A gold mine?"
43204About a gold mine?
43204Ai n''t that so, Vasco?
43204Ai n''t tryin''to git away from th''law, be ye?
43204All ready?
43204All ready?
43204An electric shock?
43204And what did he find at the mountain?
43204And will my bugs, snakes and specimens be safe?
43204Any what?
43204Are n''t you going to tackle the brigands and get Bob?
43204Are the_ Americano_ dogs asleep?
43204Are we all here?
43204Are we fools or children? 43204 Are we going to stay here all that while?"
43204Are we ready to go on now?
43204Are we to go again to- night?
43204Are you bit much?
43204Are you hurt, Jerry?
43204Are you sure it''s a mine they''re after?
43204Are you sure you were robbed, señors?
43204Are you sure you''re not hurt?
43204Are your arms broken?
43204But I wonder who it was robbed us?
43204But how about him getting away so completely that our search did n''t reveal him?
43204But how are you going to manage it?
43204But how can we tell where they went?
43204But if it''s underground, how are we going to find it?
43204But tell me, how did they happen to stumble on the right underground passage?
43204But what''s the use of crying over spilled milk? 43204 But where?"
43204Ca n''t you come out?
43204Ca n''t you find him?
43204Can we open the door?
43204Cocoanuts?
43204Cowboys shooting the town up?
43204Did he crawl through the hole in the wall and go into the deserted city?
43204Did he do it?
43204Did something bite him?
43204Did you notice one of the boys--Bilette went on--"the fat one; the stout youth; the one they call Bob and sometimes Chunky?"
43204Did you recognize any one?
43204Do n''t you remember what the old Mexican said?
43204Do n''t you think we could make the trip?
43204Do n''t you want Maximina?
43204Do n''t you want to go''long?
43204Do ye want to upset with this steam engine aboard? 43204 Do you boys want to come along?"
43204Do you suppose a fish would try to swallow an automobile, as the whale did Jonah?
43204Do you suppose they-- they will ki- kill me?
43204Do you think it is going to storm, my dear friend?
43204Do you think we are close to them?
43204Do you want them to hear you across the river?
43204Do you want to be killed?
43204Does that look as if it was only a nightmare?
43204Fighting? 43204 Go on or stay here?"
43204Got another gold mine in sight down there?
43204Got what?
43204Has he stabbed him?
43204Have they the gold with them?
43204Have those men any supernatural powers?
43204Have we struck a snag?
43204Have you fooled us?
43204Have you got it all right, Chunky?
43204Have you got the money yet?
43204Have you got your revolver?
43204Here, where you fellers goin''?
43204How about him telling us we were searching for the buried city?
43204How are we going to get out of this place?
43204How are we going to get over that? 43204 How are we going to get the car down the incline?"
43204How are we going to know this buried city when we come to it?
43204How can you tell?
43204How did it all happen?
43204How did you ever get there?
43204How did you get that way?
43204How do we know we''re on the right road?
43204How do you all do?
43204How do you explain it all?
43204How do you suppose he ever got here?
43204How do you suppose the note was placed there?
43204How in the world did you ever get in such a scrape?
43204How much is it?
43204How should I know?
43204How will that do to stop at overnight?
43204How will we ever get him up?
43204How?
43204How?
43204How?
43204I say, are you fellows going to sleep all day? 43204 I say, when are we going to eat?"
43204I wonder how I can give the boys and the professor a sign so they will know that?
43204I wonder how it came here?
43204I wonder how much good it is going to do us?
43204I wonder how our captive is?
43204I wonder how we are to sleep?
43204I wonder if Noddy saw us?
43204I wonder if it was Nixon''s crowd, or only ordinary robbers? 43204 I wonder if there is any money left in them?"
43204I wonder if there is any one in this temple but ourselves?
43204I wonder if we''ll ever see Noddy Nixon or Jack Pender again?
43204I wonder if we''ll have any more adventures?
43204I wonder if we''ll have to sleep''_ en el sereno_''to- night?
43204I wonder what Chunky would have done if a Mexican brigand had demanded his money- belt?
43204I wonder what he means by that?
43204I wonder what in the world is the matter now?
43204I wonder what it is this time?
43204I wonder what sort of an inn we''ll stop at to- night?
43204I wonder what they are doing to him now?
43204I wonder what this is for?
43204I wonder what we''ll do when our food gives out?
43204I wonder what we''ll have to eat?
43204I wonder when we''ll get to that underground city?
43204I wonder which way those chaps took?
43204I wonder which we shall take?
43204I wonder whom they belong to?
43204I wonder why they did n''t tackle me?
43204Is everything ready?
43204Is everything ready?
43204Is he killed?
43204Is he much hurt?
43204Is it as bad as that?
43204Is it morning?
43204Is it your desire to charge in the fire- wagon with my troopers, or do you prefer to stay in the rear and watch us dispose of this brigand?
43204Is n''t it pretty near time you told us what you are going to do, Noddy?
43204Is n''t that something sticking in the mouth of the image?
43204Is that Noddy boy and his puff- puff carriage to join us?
43204Is there anything more we can do for you?
43204Money? 43204 No good?"
43204Now what has happened, I wonder?
43204Now, boys, what had we better do?
43204Oh, you''re better, are you?
43204Or this?
43204Our friends?
43204Robbers, señors? 43204 Say, if we told the folks at home that a Mexican alligator tried to chew up an automobile, I wonder what they''d say?"
43204Shall I run the machine up the incline?
43204Shall I try a shot at the tires?
43204Shall we fire at them?
43204Shall we go forward again?
43204Shall we go on after them or camp for the night?
43204Shall we post a guard?
43204Shall we stand guard for the remainder of the night?
43204Shall we stay on this side and eat, or cross the river?
43204Shamming, eh?
43204She''s a mighty pretty girl, too; do n''t you think so, Jerry?
43204So it was you who took it, eh?
43204Stay here or go away?
43204Supposing I did,whispered Noddy, in low tones to Vasco,"what good will it do to tell every one?
43204Tell you what,said Bob, one day,"automobiling is great, is n''t it?"
43204The laughing serpent?
43204The next question is, who took them?
43204Then, why ca n''t you put the rope under your arms?
43204Very good; but what about the girl?
43204Was it Nixon?
43204Was n''t that mind- reading?
43204Was our rest disturbed?
43204Wasp sting ye?
43204Well, what are we going to do?
43204Well, what are you going to do this time?
43204Well?
43204Were there any then?
43204What are they talking about?
43204What are we going to do to- day?
43204What are you going to do?
43204What did he see?
43204What did she mean by speaking about Bob, saying Vasco Bilette had him, and for us to come quick?
43204What did they get from you?
43204What did you stop for? 43204 What do ye mean by tryin''t''smash me all to splinters?"
43204What do you know about buried cities?
43204What do you mean?
43204What do you s''pose they come for?
43204What do you say that we camp here for the night?
43204What do you think it is?
43204What does all this mean, Noddy?
43204What does it say?
43204What else could it be? 43204 What good would an ancient, ruined, buried city be if people were living in it?
43204What had we better do about Noddy?
43204What had we better do?
43204What happened?
43204What has happened, señors? 43204 What has happened?"
43204What have we here?
43204What hole is that?
43204What in the world are they?
43204What is it all about?
43204What is it to- day, gasolene or cylinder oil?
43204What is it, Chunky?
43204What is it, Chunky?
43204What is it, tell us, will you?
43204What is it? 43204 What is it?
43204What is it? 43204 What is it?"
43204What is it?
43204What is it?
43204What is it?
43204What is it?
43204What is that?
43204What made the water go out?
43204What made you think they were after a mine, Noddy?
43204What makes you think so?
43204What of it?
43204What sort of entertainment?
43204What was that he said about turning to the left?
43204What was that?
43204What''s all the row about?
43204What''s it all about?
43204What''s that ahead in the road?
43204What''s that?
43204What''s that?
43204What''s the matter-- a snake?
43204What''s the matter? 43204 What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the matter?
43204What''s the use of doing that?
43204What''s the use?
43204What''s to be done?
43204What?
43204What?
43204When are we going to eat?
43204Whence do you come in your chariot of fire?
43204Where are they?
43204Where are we? 43204 Where are you?"
43204Where can we get help?
43204Where did she come from?
43204Where did they come from, and who are they?
43204Where is Vasco Bilette?
43204Where is he?
43204Where is it?
43204Where is the professor?
43204Which is Bob?
43204Who do you suppose it was?
43204Who has money to throw away on such as she?
43204Who is she?
43204Who is she?
43204Who was it?
43204Who''s killed? 43204 Who''s there?"
43204Who''s there?
43204Who''s there?
43204Why not try the latter?
43204Why not? 43204 Why not?"
43204Why, Chunky? 43204 Why, have n''t we got plenty for several weeks yet?"
43204Will it be better than the gold mine?
43204Will the honorable señors be pleased to enter my poor inn?
43204Will they help us?
43204Will you go, Professor?
43204Will you guarantee that there are no robbers?
43204Will you not pass another night under my roof?
43204Will you not smoke a cigarette with me?
43204You ai n''t thinkin''of goin''back East, are ye?
43204You mean escape? 43204 You say they went to Mexico?"
43204You spik Spanish, señor?
43204You want go?
43204A thief?
43204Afraid of ghosts?"
43204And now do you fellows want to stay here all night or travel in the auto?"
43204Are you going to sleep all day?"
43204Bit by a kissin''bug?"
43204But how did he dissolve himself into thin air?"
43204But what is all the noise about?"
43204But what is this?
43204But whence come ye, and whither do ye go?"
43204Ca n''t you see it now?
43204Did he get anything?"
43204Did n''t you hear that''s what they came for?"
43204Did n''t you say your friend died?"
43204Did they get our money?"
43204Did you cook any since yesterday?"
43204Do n''t you hear some one shouting?"
43204Do you remember the day I fell over the cliff with Broswick and Nestor, and you pulled us up with the auto?"
43204Get away from here?
43204Has Bob''s father sent the money?"
43204Has a tidal wave come in?
43204Has an earthquake occurred?
43204Have the brigands come?
43204Have they the gold?"
43204Have you a rope?"
43204How are ye?"
43204How did you come to go down, professor?"
43204How do you feel?"
43204How much do you want?"
43204I wonder if the professor took any?"
43204I wonder if they''re going to starve me?"
43204I wonder if we''ve fallen into a robber''s den?"
43204I wonder what they want of Bob?"
43204I wonder what you''re here for?"
43204I wonder who they were?"
43204In my house- boat?
43204Is any one killed?"
43204Is it a fight?"
43204Is it a fire?
43204Is the place on fire?
43204Is the river rising?
43204Is this gold or silver?
43204Is this money?
43204It was about an hour later when Jerry observed:"Does n''t it seem as if the monkeys were making more noise than usual?"
43204It would be fun, even if we did n''t find the place, and the gold mine is now in good shape, so that we could leave, is n''t it, Jim?"
43204Leave?"
43204Lucky, was n''t it?"
43204Now, if you please, what is it all about?"
43204Now, is there anything else I can let you have?"
43204Shall I run down and take a look?"
43204Shall I tell the men?"
43204Shall I?"
43204Shall we go and give battle to these brigands?"
43204Shall we talk business?"
43204Shall we turn him over to the soldiers?"
43204Snowgrass?"
43204The question is: What are we going to do about it now?"
43204To catch fish?"
43204Was there much in it?"
43204Was your rest disturbed?"
43204We have Bob back, we discovered the underground city, and what more do we want?"
43204We''ll have to do a little night traveling, but what of it?"
43204What care I for lost cities?
43204What care any of us for lost cities?
43204What do you say?
43204What do you want of such reptiles?
43204What does it look like?"
43204What has happened?
43204What is it all about?
43204What was that?"
43204What''s that?"
43204What''s the matter?
43204Where can we find him?"
43204Where did he go?
43204Where did the fiend go?"
43204Where you live?"
43204Who was it robbed us?"
43204Who you shootin''at?"
43204Why did the señor yell, as if some one had stuck a knife into him?"
43204Will you come along, professor?"
43204Will you do it?"
43204Yet we follow him, and all for what?
43204You go?"
25873A fair race? 25873 A message for me?"
25873After lunch?
25873Against such appealing strangers?
25873Ah, would you?
25873All over? 25873 An''testify to a lie?"
25873And can nothing be done?
25873And did you go?
25873And do we have to leave these shores?
25873And how did you come to get it?
25873And land on a desert island? 25873 And now, Freddie,"began Denny, drawing out two chairs,"what do you think of my housekeeping?"
25873And oh, what is that?
25873And so they''re going to do up old Denny, eh?
25873And that''s what?
25873And the mother, Freddie?
25873And what are those papers?
25873And why should n''t I?
25873Any papers?
25873Any tents down?
25873Anything for what?
25873Are n''t you going to do anything toward getting a meal?
25873Are we getting too near the rocks, Cora?
25873Are we too late to come in?
25873Are you Freda Lewis?
25873Are you afraid?
25873Are you all ready?
25873Are you going or coming?
25873Are you going to beat him?
25873Are you sure it was a fair race?
25873Are you? 25873 Belle, can you keep that rope taut?"
25873But did the thieves take anything?
25873But he has none; has he?
25873But how can we get Shane in the proper frame of mind to testify as we want him to?
25873But is n''t it perfectly beautiful along here?
25873But is the dangerous place you spoke of near here?
25873But the togs?
25873But those duffers, the land men,continued Dray,"what are they after the girls for?
25873But was n''t Freda splendid? 25873 But what about Denny?"
25873But what about those men?
25873But what are we going to do?
25873But what happened?
25873But what is it you want to do, Cora, dear?
25873But what?
25873But where are you going, Cora, you and your friends?
25873But why?
25873But you are coming this afternoon?
25873But, Cora, ca n''t we go closer? 25873 Ca n''t we go in for them, and look after Dray''s boat afterward?"
25873Ca n''t you come along, old man?
25873Ca n''t you tell me first? 25873 Can you get up any more speed?"
25873Candy?
25873Chelton? 25873 Cora Kimball-- how dare you?"
25873Could n''t I? 25873 Could n''t we take the_ Chelton_?"
25873Could n''t you?
25873Did I hear you girls say you were going out?
25873Did anybody lose anything?
25873Did he have some sort of weapon? 25873 Did n''t we run the_ Pet_?"
25873Did n''t you get the note we left pinned to the door?
25873Did the girls invite us?
25873Did you lose anything?
25873Do I stay for lunch?
25873Do n''t you think we would see something in the Cliff ball room?
25873Do n''t you want a little race? 25873 Do something?"
25873Do we go out for a sail?
25873Do we have to stay here all alone?
25873Do we?
25873Do what?
25873Do what?
25873Do you allow us? 25873 Do you know what they''d do as soon as they found out who we were?"
25873Do you mean that you girls are going to try to----to outwit those desperate men?
25873Do you mean to say that you are really hungry?
25873Do you mean to say we have to feed-- all you boys?
25873Do you see anything of the boys?
25873Do you suppose it could all be over?
25873Do you think I should have given myself more of a handicap?
25873Do you think for a moment that anyone is going to do themselves out of house and home like that?
25873Do you think it''s a conspiracy?
25873Do you want it?
25873Do_ you_ grow around here?
25873Does n''t he?
25873Does that boat ever go out two days in succession, Cora?
25873Ed, did you ever wield a hammer as truthfully as that?
25873Engine broken, or are you out of gasoline?
25873Feed us? 25873 Freda and Mrs. Lewis are going out; are n''t they?"
25873Freda, dear, what is the matter?
25873Freddie could n''t stay abed when the sun is beckonin''on the waves; could you, Freddie?
25873Freddie, is that you?
25873Get at me, is it?
25873Grub?
25873Has anything more happened since last night?
25873Have n''t you an oar or a paddle?
25873Have they been annoying you of late?
25873He''s very poetical; is n''t he?
25873Here,called Jack,"can you make it to get in here?"
25873How are we going to save him if we land at Buler''s, and let these fellows go on?
25873How dare you suggest such a thing?
25873How did you girls get here?
25873How do you feel, Lottie?
25873How do you feel?
25873How do you know?
25873How do you know?
25873How is that?
25873How was it you boys_ did n''t_ get here?
25873How''s she gettin''on?
25873How?
25873How?
25873How?
25873Hurt?
25873I am convinced that those men are dishonest, for why should they go sneaking around that way? 25873 I mean could the men have been here, and been captured by the boys and taken to jail?"
25873I shall tell mother----"What''s he been doing now?
25873I suppose it is something about Freda''s property; do n''t you think so?
25873I think that electric toaster might be all right for fudge, but for real bread-- Now say, Cora, can you really cook pork and beans on that?
25873I wonder if he thought that would be demolished?
25873I wonder, though, did he stick''em anywhere around me cabin? 25873 Is he there?"
25873Is it rented now?
25873Is it something to eat?
25873Is n''t Hilda pretty? 25873 Is n''t he the quaintest old man?"
25873Is n''t it perfectly silly?
25873Is n''t it salty?
25873Is n''t this a fine day?
25873Is that the cottage?
25873It does n''t seem so; does it?
25873It is aggravating; is n''t it?
25873It''s Freda and Denny, and someone else?
25873It''s a case of carrying coals to Newcastle; is n''t it?
25873Jack, have n''t you boys had your supper?
25873Let us see it? 25873 Marita, just straighten out that stern flag, will you?
25873May we come to eat now?
25873Nerves? 25873 No, but seriously, what''s it all about?"
25873No, but you saw me talking to that girl on the platform; did n''t you?
25873Not get them, eh?
25873Now what about having wasted our time? 25873 Now what are you two up to?"
25873Now where do you fellows want to go? 25873 Now, can I help you, young lady?"
25873Now, would n''t you think,said Jack, as he fortified himself with a sandwich,"that any decent chap would know that we belonged to the union?
25873Now, young ladies, are you ready for a tramp? 25873 Oh, but suppose they should come while we are here?"
25873Oh, do you?
25873Oh, that''s Uncle Denny; do n''t you know him? 25873 Oh, that''s the game; is it?
25873Oh, the girls are all right,Jack assured the old seaman;"but say, Dray,"he called,"what''s the matter, anyhow?"
25873Oh, we are just crazy to get out on the water,Bess put in,"and what do you think?
25873Oh, what am I to do?
25873Oh, what''s the matter, Denny?
25873Oh, why do n''t the boys come?
25873Oh, wo n''t they come?
25873Say, ca n''t you get her going?
25873See the rain- hat and slicker?
25873Shall we demonstrate?
25873She is, Freda? 25873 Sit on the other side; will you, Lottie dear?"
25873So you had a race with them?
25873Some lady?
25873Something given way?
25873Sposin''he wo n''t take the cash?
25873Surprised, is it? 25873 The one who wears the Panama?
25873The storm?
25873Thinking of spilled grub?
25873This is a bit like the old days; is n''t it? 25873 Tramp through the woods at this hour of night?"
25873Turned or unturned?
25873Was n''t it awful?
25873Well, Jack?
25873Well, supposin''I can?
25873Well, what do you know about that?
25873Well, what''s the program, then?
25873Well, what''s your answer?
25873Well,he asked, pleasantly,"is it to be a race?"
25873Were you going to paddle?
25873What about us?
25873What about you? 25873 What about?"
25873What are you doing here? 25873 What are you girls up to?"
25873What can have happened?
25873What could have been his object?
25873What could have happened?
25873What did I tell you?
25873What did you call her_ Chelton_ for?
25873What did you do?
25873What did you see?
25873What do you say we buy that one from Camp Cattle? 25873 What do you think of that?"
25873What does a race amount to if you do n''t try to win?
25873What dress?
25873What for?
25873What had we better do? 25873 What happened?"
25873What is it?
25873What is it?
25873What is it?
25873What is it?
25873What is that to you?
25873What is the trouble?
25873What kind?
25873What makes you say that?
25873What makes you think so?
25873What nonsense has he been telling you now?
25873What was your fright?
25873What will she say?
25873What''s it all about?
25873What''s the matter with it?
25873What''s the matter, Dray?
25873What''s the matter, Lottie?
25873What''s the matter, Miss?
25873What''s the sense in sighing after the impossible?
25873What''s this?
25873What''s up?
25873What?
25873What?
25873What?
25873Where are the boys?
25873Where are you going, Cora?
25873Where are you going, Lottie?
25873Where are you?
25873Where can she have gone?
25873Where did you come from?
25873Where have you been, girls?
25873Where have you been?
25873Where shall I put this?
25873Where''s the Widder Lewis?
25873Where''s the bungalow?
25873Who are you, anyhow?
25873Who can it be from?
25873Who else would do it?
25873Who found them?
25873Who is in her?
25873Who is it?
25873Who told you we were coming to dine?
25873Who would believe a storm would end like that?
25873Who would?
25873Who''d be listening?
25873Who''s been screaming?
25873Who''s the man?
25873Why did n''t they take the_ Dixie_?
25873Why did n''t we have one of the boys come with us?
25873Why did n''t you tell us?
25873Why did you want to say we''d like to be landed at Buler''s?
25873Why do n''t they come?
25873Why do n''t you finish packing, Bess?
25873Why do n''t you include Walter and the others?
25873Why do n''t you?
25873Why do you come here bothering me?
25873Why not ask the boys to help?
25873Why not?
25873Why should the men bother you?
25873Why should we make good for a storm?
25873Why so?
25873Why, how did mother get there? 25873 Why, is that the throne seat?"
25873Why, what is wrong?
25873Why?
25873Why?
25873Will someone please enlighten me?
25873Will the boys go and leave us?
25873Will-- we-- eat-- it?
25873Will-- will it be dangerous?
25873Would you have gone with him?
25873Yes, and what do you think that was?
25873You are?
25873You have?
25873You''ll look after the steering; will you?
25873You''re never going to do that; are you?
25873Your overalls?
25873All ready?"
25873And that house on the hill?"
25873And then, after proposing it, why had he not won it when, clearly, he might have done so?
25873And what was it he said?
25873And where do you put up?"
25873And who is still''on deck''giving orders?"
25873Any more of you, Jack?"
25873Anybody home?"
25873Are they from Chelton?"
25873Are you sure you have enough crackers, Cora?
25873At the same time, from without the cabin there flashed several lights, and the voices of men were heard asking:"What''s going on here?"
25873Belle, will you get them out?
25873Bess, do you want to come with me?
25873But I say, what about the racket at the Mote last night?
25873But how did you know?
25873But where are the papers?"
25873But who?
25873CHAPTER II FREDA''S STORY"Well, are we all here?"
25873CHAPTER VI THE"CHELTON""Oh, is n''t it exciting?"
25873CHAPTER VII IN THE MOTELY MOTE"Do you young ladies realize that we have the cares of housekeeping on our shoulders?"
25873CHAPTER XVI A BAD CASE OF NERVES"Would the boys have anything in their camp, do you suppose?"
25873CHAPTER XXIV DENNY''S SOLILOQUY"What shall we do?"
25873CHAPTER XXV THE PLOTTERS ARRIVE"What''s the trouble?"
25873CHAPTER XXVII THE RED OAR AGAIN"Cora Kimball, what are you going to do?"
25873Chelton?
25873Cold cream?"
25873Did n''t we plainly say Tuesday?"
25873Did you hear anything new?"
25873Did you send me a message?
25873Did you send me that false message?
25873Do n''t you hear something?"
25873Do n''t you remember how the small showers doused it?"
25873Do n''t you think so, fellows?"
25873Do you know where that is?"
25873Does n''t it run smoothly?"
25873Does n''t shoot up on land for a change, does it?
25873Have you any papers to prove your claim?"
25873Have you any to put out at interest?"
25873Have you got a long rope?"
25873Have you had your grape fruit?"
25873Have you made out the menu, Cora dear?"
25873How much do you draw?"
25873How much is a ticket?"
25873How''d the game with the widow''s daughter work out?"
25873How?"
25873I need everything I''ve squeezed into it; and so what else can I do?"
25873I wonder if he did?"
25873I wonder if it can be-- just money?"
25873I wonder if she thinks folks in motor boats run slowly enough to see little white caps on little light girls?"
25873I wonder what Grandfather Lewis did with them papers?"
25873I wonder what on earth the squall did to headquarters?"
25873I wonder where he can be keeping himself, all day?"
25873I wonder why mammas, with good moral intentions, train little boys to eat?"
25873Is it a real worry, Freda?"
25873Is n''t this wonderful?"
25873Is there aught to eat at the Mote?
25873Lewis?"
25873No, we could laugh in their faces, so we could; could n''t we?"
25873Now if you''ll sit down----""What do you mean?"
25873Now would n''t you like to come forward and meet some of the girls?
25873Now, as long as you''re here, ca n''t you come with us?"
25873Oh, dear, Bess, what are you doing now?"
25873Or do you think he tried to get us over this way, hoping we would be wrecked on the rocks?
25873Suppose we do that?"
25873Tell him ourselves?"
25873They have n''t been around here since we left; have they?"
25873They heard the voice of the old fisherman call:"Who''s there?
25873They would insist upon trying on every article of clothing they unpacked; would n''t they Cora?"
25873This afternoon at two exactly-- will you come, Uncle Denny?"
25873Was he going to betray Freda and her mother?
25873Was it right to confide thus in a stranger?
25873What did he want in Bayhead?
25873What did the lads think of the fixin''s?"
25873What do you mean?"
25873What do you mean?"
25873What do you say to that?
25873What do you say, Jack?"
25873What do you say?"
25873What do you want at this time of night?"
25873What do you want?"
25873What for?
25873What has happened?"
25873What if the boat could not ride those waves?
25873What in the world did Grandfather Lewis do with''em anyhow?
25873What is the_ Chelton_ for if we ca n''t use her?"
25873What more natural than that he''d have the papers near the land?
25873What sort of way is this to keep law and order?"
25873What was your purpose in so deceiving me?"
25873What''s that?
25873Where have you been?"
25873Where is my mother?
25873Where''s that dinner bell?"
25873Which way could two small motor boats hope to plough their way in such a fury of wind, rain and lightning?
25873Who are you, and why do you ask me these questions?
25873Who did all the engineering in the storm?
25873Who has the key?"
25873Who on earth put that indemnity clause in, anyhow?"
25873Who was this strange young man who seemed so friendly?
25873Who''s that?
25873Why did he now let the men think he did know?
25873Why did n''t you say you were getting wet?"
25873Why do n''t the boys catch crabs?"
25873Why do n''t you go to them?"
25873Why had he done it?
25873Why had he proposed a race?
25873Why not ask for information from the proper persons?"
25873Why not go ashore and have a little picnic?
25873Why should n''t I?
25873Why?"
25873Wo n''t that stop them from bothering Denny-- at least to- night?"
25873Would n''t it be fine if we could?"
25873You and your mother are trying to establish a claim to some property; are n''t you?"
25873You are not going out, are you?"
25873You leave in the morning?
25873You met her; did you not?"
25873m.?"
25873sighed Cora Kimball, as she gazed helplessly about,"will we ever be finished, Bess?"
36320A boatman on my place? 36320 A mocking bird?"
36320After I come back, will you have that swim?
36320Ai n''t I don''tol''you I knowed Marse Donahue twenty years? 36320 And Charlie came to see you, too, I suppose?"
36320And Edward Paxton, what will he be doing? 36320 And are we to trust you to run the Firefly and take us out in the motor?"
36320And did you really know him?
36320And must we wait here?
36320And the man who killed the panther?
36320And we are to have no more jolly picnics?
36320And what have you done for him? 36320 And why not, my child?
36320And you are really beginning to like the work, then?
36320And you do n''t miss him?
36320And you''re sure you know how to handle it, Edward?
36320Are n''t you feeling well to- day, dear?
36320Are they all safe?
36320Are we in heaven?
36320Are you all here?
36320Are you better now?
36320Are you certain he was dead?
36320Are you ill?
36320Are you quite mad? 36320 Are you sure there will be room in the boat?"
36320Are you sure we wo n''t disturb her?
36320Are you sure you feel strong enough, Timothy?
36320Are you sure you started with plenty?
36320Before you go, Edward,put in Elinor,"may we not see the mocking bird?
36320Besides, what can we do? 36320 Billie have we just seen a man killed?"
36320Billie, is this the road to the left?
36320Billie,whispered Nancy,"what happened?
36320But I thought you liked it?
36320But do n''t you think it can be patched up? 36320 But how did we bring anything about?"
36320But how did you happen to come?
36320But how do you know he is dead?
36320But how will you get there?
36320But if Mr. Donahue is n''t here, how did the note come?
36320But suppose he could do other things besides play? 36320 But think of his being in a strange country without any money or friends?
36320But what about your sister and Clarence? 36320 But what brought it about?
36320But what did he want?
36320But what is going to happen now? 36320 But what is it?"
36320But what?
36320But what?
36320But where are you bound for now, Elinor Butler?
36320But where can we get any boards?
36320But where did it come from?
36320But who could have played such a trick as that?
36320But who is this old lady?
36320But who killed him?
36320But why telephone you, child?
36320But why, Joey?
36320But you are not going back to work when you are ill, child?
36320Ca n''t you tell me what it is? 36320 Did I faint?"
36320Did n''t he send any messages?
36320Did n''t you hear the motor?
36320Did she beat you with her stick?
36320Did you know there was such a house, with a path connecting directly with your place, Virginia?
36320Did you win the race, Edward?
36320Do the fairies dance here by moonlight, I wonder?
36320Do the people on land think we are playing a game? 36320 Do you advise me to accept, Miss Billie?"
36320Do you call that recognizing, Miss Nancy- Bell?
36320Do you know, my dears, why I asked you to spend one of your golden hours with a stricken old woman like me? 36320 Do you promise?"
36320Do you suppose we could find Edward Paxton?
36320Do you think it could have been Dick?
36320Do you think there would be anything out of the way in our going over to see Virginia, Cousin Helen? 36320 Do you think we are very much alike?"
36320Does she expect to teach manners to Americans by treating them like this? 36320 Done what?"
36320Edward,said Georgiana,"wo n''t you play for Miss l''Estrange?"
36320Else how did it happen to be at all? 36320 Engagements for what?"
36320Has anything happened to your cousin?
36320He seemed to be, but why?
36320Hello,called Edward,"come out, wo n''t you?"
36320How are we going to get back? 36320 How are you getting on?"
36320How can he think Edward is going to masquerade like this much longer? 36320 How can you mention the word?"
36320How can you talk in that way? 36320 How could I tell?
36320How could any one be so brutal?
36320How dare you accuse me of speaking a falsehood?
36320How did you recognize me?
36320How do you like being in another boy''s shoes?
36320How do you like the life?
36320How far had you towed the boy?
36320How is business at present? 36320 How long has he been standing there, Sam?"
36320How many dances may I have, Miss Billie?
36320How''s the party?
36320I do n''t want to preach, of course, but I''d just like to ask you if you ever have, that you can remember, really made a sacrifice for any one?
36320I imagine you earn quite a good deal now, do n''t you, taking out parties every day? 36320 I say, Edward,"said his counterpart in a coaxing voice,"wo n''t you go in my place?"
36320If Georgiana could do nothing, you do n''t suppose I could?
36320In the fight?
36320Is he a young man, Sam?
36320Is he tall and thin?
36320Is it about the other Edward?
36320Is it any of your business one way or the other?
36320Is it possible?
36320Is n''t it strange?
36320Is n''t it sweet?
36320Is that what you had to tell me?
36320Is that why you wear those smoked glasses?
36320Is that you, Uncle Peter?
36320Is this Marse Duffy''s res- dence?
36320Is this where you work, Edward?
36320Is your mistress in her room, Mammy?
36320Is your mother ill?
36320It is something of a joke, old man, is n''t it? 36320 It''s what might be called a''noble lie'',"thought Billie,"but how can they keep it up?
36320Lunch?
36320Mammy, will you look after these ladies, please? 36320 Matter?"
36320Me?
36320Medium, then?
36320Mr. Ignatius Donahue''s compliments, and will the ladies take a ride in his motor- boat this afternoon? 36320 My grandmother waiting to see me?"
36320Not another snake?
36320Not to come back any more?
36320Now, what in the world?
36320Oh, Dick? 36320 Oh, may we?"
36320Oh, mercy, what shall we do, Uncle Peter? 36320 Oh, that reminds me, how are you going to get back to Palm Beach?"
36320Oh, what have I done?
36320One more question?
36320Perhaps you will go with us?
36320Ready, mates?
36320Saw it? 36320 Sha n''t we try and save the house, sir?"
36320Shall I bring it along?
36320Shall I send word we''ll be down presently?
36320Shall I wear my hat or not?
36320Shall we get this next board off and finish the thing as soon as possible? 36320 Shall we take this beast along?"
36320Sign of what, pray?
36320So you did n''t come to see us at all, then?
36320Speaking of gasoline,Miss Campbell here broke in,"Edward, did you find out any more about that leak that came in the Firefly the other night?
36320Suppose the mate of the dead leopard should be lurking about somewhere?
36320Then he was alive?
36320Then you saw it, too?
36320This is a fine place to motor to, but it''s too far from people, and Mrs. Duffy and I like people, do n''t we, old lady? 36320 Want to race?"
36320Was he a hermit?
36320Was he alone?
36320Was it Edward?
36320Was n''t he the boy who raced for the rubber ball?
36320Was there ever anything to equal that?
36320Was this the place?
36320We look like native wild people in this civilized place, do n''t we?
36320Well, what do you think you are looking at,she cried,"a chimpanzee or an elephant or one of your own native wild people?"
36320Were you looking for me, Grandmamma?
36320What are these Paxton people like?
36320What are we going to do, boy?
36320What are you doing, my friend? 36320 What are your orders this morning, Miss Campbell?"
36320What can harm us in this wilderness?
36320What color is his hair, Sam?
36320What did you see? 36320 What do you think he''s saying, Mary?"
36320What do you think we''d better do?
36320What earthly reason could he have for staying away, except to take my place? 36320 What happened?"
36320What has happened to him?
36320What in the world? 36320 What is it?"
36320What is it?
36320What is your last name?
36320What kind is he?
36320What on earth are you doing with those long gumbo shooters, Charlie?
36320What shall we do now?
36320What shall we do?
36320What spirit was it, do you think, that sprung a leak in our boat?
36320What was he doing that night in the avenue when he had the fight with the man in the motor car?
36320What was wicked of you, Billie, dear?
36320What was wrong about it, I''d like to know?
36320What will you do with all those thousands, or millions, is it?
36320What''s happened?
36320What''s that in the water?
36320What''s that?
36320What''s the matter?
36320What''s what?
36320What? 36320 What?"
36320When is your grandmother coming back?
36320Where am I?
36320Where am I?
36320Where are the gentlemen who sent up these cards?
36320Where are you running away to, my pretty maids?
36320Where are your mammas, then, so that I may ask permission first?
36320Where on earth are they?
36320Where''s Dick, the mocking bird, Mammy?
36320Where''s Miss Virginia?
36320Where''s Uncle Peter?
36320Which Edward?
36320Which way?
36320Who are you?
36320Who is this?
36320Who was he, Virginia? 36320 Why ca n''t Grandmamma stay in one place for a week at a time?
36320Why did n''t you add that I was an old cat playing with a harmless little mouse?
36320Why do n''t you borrow from your cousin?
36320Why do n''t you help him, Edward?
36320Why do n''t you start him up and see?
36320Why do n''t you tell them so?
36320Why is it no one ever sees Virginia?
36320Why not change places then? 36320 Why not tell Edward Paxton?"
36320Why not viands?
36320Why not?
36320Why should Ignatius Donahue send these titled persons to meet us? 36320 Why, what are you bringing us, Sam?"
36320Why, what does he mean?
36320Will you come in while I find out?
36320Will you come, too?
36320Will you go for a little stroll?
36320Wo n''t all these people and lights frighten him?
36320Wo n''t you and Timothy come and stroll in the garden with us, Elinor?
36320Wo n''t you come in? 36320 Wo n''t you come into our room until you calm down?
36320Wo n''t you play for us, dear, on that beautiful big piano?
36320Wo n''t you please?
36320Would n''t it be dangerous?
36320Would n''t you like to take a motor- boat ride? 36320 Would you know that cowardly fellow again if you were to see him?"
36320Would you like a little race?
36320Would you like to go, girls?
36320Would you like to ride?
36320Yes, who?
36320Yes,"Would you do it for twenty pounds? 36320 You are not playing a joke on me, are you?"
36320You are pale,exclaimed Miss Campbell,"or is it the moonlight?
36320You are very fond of him, are n''t you?
36320You did n''t know I had a twin, did you, Mammy?
36320You do n''t mean to say you''re going to give up without a struggle?
36320You do n''t mind my not calling you''Miss,''do you?
36320You do n''t mind the work, then?
36320You know him, then?
36320You mean he''s left the other Edward to take his place here?
36320You mean you would like her better if she would n''t allow you to-- to go on so?
36320A selfish old woman, eh?"
36320Ah, you are the brave young woman who saves people''s lives, Anne Starbuck Brown?
36320Am I all right?"
36320And still you say it was n''t a dream?"
36320And was it Mr. Ignatius Donahue?
36320And what did he do, pray?"
36320And what had he meant by saying:"You wo n''t lose faith in me, Billie?"
36320And where, oh where, was Edward l''Estrange?
36320And why was it that this crude little hut in the forest should have reminded Edward of an English cottage?
36320And why, oh, why, would he insist on drawing her into his troublesome affairs?
36320And your tonic to- night?
36320Anything interesting?"
36320Anything?"
36320Are you ill?"
36320Are you quite sure?"
36320As they took the lower walk, she said:"Is Edward coming back to Palm Beach?"
36320Before I go will you promise to take my place in every way until I come back?"
36320Besides, have n''t we accepted his hospitality,''eaten his bread,''as Papa says?
36320But what about lunch, my dear?"
36320But what are your plans for to- morrow?
36320But what was in the letter?"
36320But why did they do it?"
36320But you will bring us here again, will you not?"
36320Ca n''t you see that you have made her very angry?"
36320Can you go with us?"
36320Cooling your ankles?"
36320Could n''t we motor over and see him some time?"
36320Could n''t you forgive him then?"
36320Could n''t you let him have some of your allowance until he gets a start?"
36320Did Virginia know that her brother had run away?
36320Did he leave you to look after that drowning boy?"
36320Did n''t you tell me when you undertook this business that money was the thing in the world you needed most?"
36320Did you find him?
36320Do n''t you recognize this place?"
36320Do you live near Palm Beach, Edward?
36320Do you notice there is n''t a sound?
36320Do you remember the boy as brought you the card?"
36320Do you think I''m the strong Turk who lifts a dozen people at once?
36320Do you, children?"
36320Edward, do you think we could knock some of the planks off the lower part of the house without doing much damage?"
36320Especially young people, eh?
36320Had Edward done anything so terrible as to be punished like that?"
36320Have you had a nice ride?"
36320Have you really got that much money?"
36320Having decided to remain and see the Comet through, the question was what would they do?
36320Having walked off with two boards, why pause at boxes?"
36320How are you, old man?"
36320How can you distrust any one who looks so exactly like you?
36320How were they not to know that hideous reptiles and beasts were not around them everywhere in this wild place?
36320If Georgiana were only like you or your friend who saved the young man in bathing-- what''s her name?
36320In another instant they would have exclaimed:"Ignatius Donahue?
36320Is he anywhere around here?"
36320Is he ill or hurt, or anything?"
36320Is he to wait until Edward l''Estrange comes back?"
36320Is it customary over there to receive visitors at hotels in bonnets in the morning?"
36320Is n''t he a funny man?"
36320Is n''t it wonderful?"
36320Is n''t it?"
36320Is that a good time for sailing?"
36320Little girl, tired out, are you?
36320Mary Anastasia Price?
36320Might it not be that she was too deep for any of them to fathom?
36320Mr. Duffy, did you tell James to bring the knives?"
36320Must we go and alarm the people in the house or wait for Edward l''Estrange?
36320Nice?
36320Now, are you ready?
36320Now, who do you suppose lived here and why did he do it?"
36320One feels especially responsible for borrowed property, do n''t you think?"
36320Or has he gone to bed?"
36320Paxton- Steele?"
36320Pretty good?"
36320Shall I open it?"
36320So I am a vain, cruel, stupid bully, am I?"
36320Take him home?"
36320There was dancing, too, in the big parlors, and who ever heard of dancing at a tea before?
36320They expected to stay several days, did n''t they?
36320They wondered if the gray car contained a man who thought he had committed a murder; and was that man Ignatius Donahue?
36320We agreed with you that it was right, did n''t we?"
36320What did Edward l''Estrange mean by going away and shifting all his responsibilities on a strange boy and his poor little sister?
36320What did he look like?"
36320What do you say to lending me a small sum at a high rate of interest?"
36320What is he like?"
36320What is it you saw?"
36320What will Grandmamma say?"
36320What would Mamma say if she knew we let our guests leave the house hungry?"
36320What would you do?"
36320What would you say if you really had to work for a living for awhile?"
36320What''s that on my foot?"
36320What?"
36320Where in the world have you been hiding?"
36320Which did you think struck the blow?"
36320Who beat him?"
36320Who could be solemn in this magical place where everything was beautiful?
36320Who could it be?
36320Who could want to speak to me over the telephone?"
36320Who says we are not cooks?"
36320Why does n''t he?"
36320Why does n''t somebody come out and help this poor boy before we float on out to sea?"
36320Why not''foot it,''as Edward calls it, down this path a bit and see what we come to?"
36320Why should people be killing each other in this wilderness?"
36320Why should they be afraid of a stick?
36320Wilhelmina Campbell?
36320Will you take back the Firefly for me to- night?"
36320Will you take us for a little ride, Edward?"
36320Wo n''t you forgive me?"
36320Wo n''t you say good- bye?"
36320Would n''t they find out?"
36320Would she even see him, no matter how many proofs he could give her that he was the real Edward Paxton?
36320Would she ever listen to him?
36320You do n''t mind waiting, do you, Mr. Paxton?
36320You do n''t suppose the dead can walk, do you?
36320You understand, do n''t you?
36320You were especially fond of him----""Fond of whom?"
36320You will look after him, wo n''t you please, Mammy?"
36320You wo n''t forget your drops at half- past, will you, dear?
36320You wo n''t lose faith in me, Billie, will you?"
36320You would n''t dare go over there with me and see if the man is really dead, would you, Nancy?"
36320You young rascals, how dare you play a practical joke on an unprotected old lady and four helpless children?
36320she exclaimed,"and leave the Comet here to be swallowed in quicksands?"
2789''Think not ambition wise, because''tis brave?''
2789A child?
2789A sister who is always worrying about a handsome brother is bound to lose him, eh, Gertrude?
2789About Paul? 2789 About what, pray?"
2789All at our house?
2789All ready?
2789All right, Clip?
2789Am I not a full- fledged''strained''nurse, now? 2789 Anchors?"
2789And Daisy? 2789 And Ed?"
2789And have you told him the book was stolen?
2789And help you pick up the humans? 2789 And her accomplice?"
2789And if the girls find out?
2789And the specific charge?
2789And the umbrella?
2789And there are to be no boys?
2789And these two people talked with you?
2789And they sat you upon that log?
2789And they unfolded blueprints? 2789 And what do you ask?"
2789And you can state that she is improved in health since leaving her mother''s house?
2789And you did n''t speak with any other persons than this boy?
2789And you had only his word?
2789And your lunch was in it?
2789And your occupation?
2789And, Cora, do you know that mailbag business is not by any means settled?
2789And, you are not hurt?
2789Any boys?
2789Any qualifications? 2789 Are n''t they dreadful?"
2789Are n''t you frightened of-- this invasion?
2789Are there drawers in it?
2789Are you almost strong enough to-- play football?
2789Are you better, Paul?
2789Are you better?
2789Busted?
2789But did any one walk along with you to talk with you?
2789But how about Clip? 2789 But however did you happen along, Cecilia?"
2789But if he could find it, why would he not do so, and destroy the document?
2789But was n''t it strange how it all came about?
2789But what about yourself?
2789But what motive could they have?
2789But what will the college girls think? 2789 But why did you pick it up without asking?"
2789But why should Ida stoop to such a thing?
2789Ca n''t I see it? 2789 Ca n''t we tow it?"
2789Can you come, Jack?
2789Can you make it?
2789Cora Kimball,called Daisy,"have you been drinking too much tea?"
2789Cora, darling,cried Maud,"who has frightened you?"
2789Cora,spoke Hazel suddenly,"did you hear what Ed said to Jack about Paul''s hold- up?"
2789Could I get that?
2789Could n''t we just as well conform to the regulation speed?
2789Could the neglect have been intentional?
2789Could you hear anything those men were saying?
2789Did n''t I see you?
2789Did n''t I tell you it was a joke? 2789 Did n''t I tell you?
2789Did n''t grandpa show it to me once? 2789 Did n''t you hear about Mr. Robinson wanting to send him away for his health?
2789Did n''t you run over her dining- car one day early this summer?
2789Did n''t you think those strange men acted suspiciously?
2789Did she say anything about the book?
2789Did the boys do it?
2789Did they fetch the car back?
2789Did they say Hazel?
2789Did you ever see such old- fashioned houses in all your born days?
2789Did you ever think there were so many kinds?
2789Did you tell them what it was?
2789Do n''t you know that Cissy Thayer and Jack Kimball are suspected of abduction? 2789 Do n''t you know that Paul has been entirely cleared?
2789Do n''t you know you are sure to get some wonderful blessing for having to stand this loss? 2789 Do n''t you suppose they will turn back before we reach the Glen?"
2789Do n''t, eh? 2789 Do you know him, if I may ask?"
2789Do you know him?
2789Do you think I had best go with him?
2789Do you think the folks will be glad to see me?
2789Do you want me to hug you? 2789 Do you want to spatter yourself all over my nice clean machine?"
2789Dr. Bennet? 2789 For an operation?"
2789For sale?
2789Grandpa''s will is lost in an old table, and will you promise to help find it?
2789Had an accident?
2789Has Belle all your tools packed? 2789 Has your customer paid for the table?"
2789Has, eh? 2789 Have you a warming pan?"
2789Have you an inlaid table-- a card table or one that could be used for one? 2789 Have you any idea what he is after?"
2789Have you any witness?
2789Hazel, you do n''t want to lose the sheepskin for insubordination, do you?
2789Here is about where they enforce the speed laws, is n''t it?
2789How are things, Wren?
2789How are you? 2789 How can we, now?"
2789How could they do otherwise when Cecilia acted as she did? 2789 How do you do, Wren?"
2789How do you know it will be paid for?
2789How do you know?
2789How do you like me?
2789How is Paul?
2789How much is it?
2789How should they know Hazel? 2789 How''s the baby?"
2789How?
2789However did you do it?
2789Human?
2789I see; of the Whitehall Company?
2789I should just like to know what you would have done without us?
2789I wonder if we could buy the beast? 2789 I''m not tiring her, am I, Miss Brown?"
2789Ida Giles, too?
2789If they wanted the table why did they not bring the money?
2789Is Clip coming to- day?
2789Is little Wren happy?
2789Is n''t Sid''s car new and-- yellow?
2789Is n''t it too bad that Hazel had to turn back?
2789Is n''t it too mean? 2789 Is that you, sis?"
2789Is there no one here worth a telephone message but Hazel Hastings?
2789Is there nothing I can do, Cora?
2789Is this the officer?
2789Is your premonition all fulfilled, Cora?
2789Jack, how can you use slang in the presence of ladies?
2789Let me lead now, Cora?
2789May I have it?
2789Might I look at it?
2789No message I can send?
2789No one hurt?
2789Nothing more to do with them?
2789Now do you see what that means?
2789Of what?
2789Oh, do n''t you know?
2789Oh, do you know Ed Foster? 2789 Oh, is it Paul?"
2789Oh, tell me,begged Cora,"is it Wren?"
2789Oh,sighed Daisy,"do you suppose they will spoil all our boxes?"
2789Or was it Bess? 2789 Other medical treatment?"
2789Poster?
2789Pray, who are''we''?
2789Say, sis,he added,"did I tell you I have my suspicions about the loss of Wren''s book?
2789Sell him? 2789 Set in on the sides, I suppose?
2789Shall I lose my honorary membership in the Motor Girls''Club?
2789Shall we look for Ed first?
2789So much obliged for the feed; and do we make a party call?
2789So you did get the table?
2789So you like the real thing in gloves?
2789Some foreign postcard book?
2789Souvenirs?
2789Suppose she were as sensible as you or I? 2789 Suppose you stay outside until I call you?"
2789Table d''hote?
2789That lawyer''s remark about Jack Kimball?
2789That was Reed, miss, was n''t it?
2789Then she is being cared for?
2789Then suppose I order a table, like the one with the oars and anchors?
2789Then they brought you out here?
2789Then why,asked the judge,"did you take the child away?"
2789They did sign, did they?
2789They will ask you how old you are, and what is your occupation?
2789Think? 2789 Tillie,"she said suddenly,"could n''t you and Adele shut up shop for a week and come with us?
2789To whom, may I ask?
2789Was n''t it a joke?
2789Was n''t it dreadful?
2789Water?
2789We are all right, you are all right, and what more do you ask?
2789We shall expect--"The bunch?
2789Well, the price?
2789Well, what''s the price?
2789Well, what''s up?
2789Well, where shall we hope to find him?
2789Well,exclaimed Belle, the sentimental one,"who is star- gazing, now?
2789Were n''t you awfully frightened?
2789Were they discussing a patent, do you think?
2789What can it be?
2789What could be said of Cecilia Thayer?
2789What could happen to him? 2789 What did they look like-- I mean personally?"
2789What do you suppose he meant?
2789What do you think of that?
2789What happened to them?
2789What happened?
2789What has happened?
2789What in the world was it?
2789What is it?
2789What is that album I see in the window?
2789What of it? 2789 What on earth do you think the ram will do with Walter?"
2789What promise?
2789What should break down?
2789What will the antique man think of three autos stopping at his door?
2789What wo n''t they say?
2789What''s she doing?
2789What''s that to you?
2789What''s that?
2789What''s the particular risk now? 2789 What''s this?"
2789Whatever does this means?
2789Whatever will they say to you two runaways?
2789When do we eat? 2789 Where do you suppose they are going?"
2789Where?
2789Where?
2789Which way?
2789Who took it?
2789Who''s that?
2789Why do you suppose Hazel was so anxious about Paul?
2789Why in the world did n''t you ask who had ordered the table?
2789Why not?
2789Why not?
2789Why should a girl turn her back on a young man with a brand new machine?
2789Why should we explain?
2789Why should you leave your machine out here? 2789 Why, Jack Kimball, what are you thinking about?"
2789Why?
2789Will he really kiss us?
2789Will she fetch the morning papers? 2789 Will some of you girls leave off biting the air, and make a good cup of tea?"
2789Wo n''t Aunt May be waiting for us? 2789 Wo n''t it be jolly to build miniature caves to keep the wind from the lamp?"
2789Wo n''t she be at the sanitarium?
2789Wonder where that motor- cycle officer is now?
2789Would n''t the courage just naturally come on my side? 2789 Would they make a scandal of it?"
2789Would you like to hear the note?
2789Would you mind, Cora,said Ed suddenly,"if the gentleman outside asked you a few private questions?"
2789Yes, but,faltered Cora,"suppose you should have a breakdown on that lonely road?
2789You are the young lady who removed the child?
2789You do n''t mind me calling you Cora? 2789 You know the child-- Wren Salvey?"
2789You mean the antique shop?
2789You mean they might call on those whose names appear in the book?
2789You mean-- I should not have come?
2789You see, Mrs. Salvey has been called to account for Wren-- did you ever hear of anything so ridiculous? 2789 You take me over to Hazel''s, Jack?"
2789You think they know where the table is?
2789Your case?
2789Your friends are from Exmouth, are n''t they?
2789Your mother took the car?
2789Your name?
2789Am I not right?"
2789And Maud Morris hated to bother him, but could he just stop at Clearman''s and get her magazine?
2789And Walter Pennington?"
2789Are n''t they splendid?
2789Are you ill?"
2789Are you ready, girls?"
2789As if divining a change in the girl''s mind, Duncan Bennet said:"Now, you wo n''t disappoint me?
2789At three- thirty, was n''t it?"
2789But Hazel said:"What do you suppose they are up to?"
2789But do you remember what the man said about having to put his overcoat on to feed that animal?
2789But how are you?"
2789But we must not condemn Daisy-- her mother had the health- traveling habit, and what was Daisy to do with herself?
2789But what is it all about?"
2789But where can you get such a piece as that?"
2789But where shall I write-- say in two days''time?"
2789CHAPTER XI THOSE DREADFUL BOYS"No BOYS, eh?"
2789Ca n''t you make it something reasonable-- and then something for your own trouble?"
2789Ca n''t you take a joy ride without committing murder and suicide?"
2789Cora is captain, is she not?"
2789Cora, what did you forget in that runaway car?"
2789Cora-- What is the matter?"
2789Could that fellow have known what he was saying?
2789Did n''t I tell you?
2789Did n''t I tell you?"
2789Did n''t he ramify, though?"
2789Did not the motor girls also tell you that they met me on the road to Breakwater two days ago?"
2789Did she describe to you the pair who last signed the contract?"
2789Did you every try a bunch of dandelions on the table?"
2789Did you know that Mathilde Herold and Adele Genung are keeping a tea- house this summer, to earn enough money for their senior year?
2789Did you see the car?
2789Do n''t take no tips from nobody, d''ye hear?"
2789Do n''t you see it, Hazel?"
2789Do you really think we ought to make Breakwater tonight?"
2789Do you suppose the post- office will do anything to Paul?"
2789Do you suppose you could get one?"
2789Do you think there is any possibility of us failing to get back?"
2789Do you want to speak with C.?
2789Does she know?"
2789Finally he spoke:"Have you ever been in a courtroom?"
2789Gertrude, have I told you about the Grotto?
2789Had she fainted?
2789Has Hazel been treating you again with some of her magic suggestion business?
2789How could we fix it up?"
2789How do you like it?"
2789How ever did you get those vines to grow so promptly?"
2789How is she treating you?"
2789How''s the chap getting on?"
2789I am going away from here, and suppose the other customer never comes back?"
2789I am going to do the Whirlwind all my own way, am I not, Cora?"
2789I might go along?
2789I say, girls, is n''t that the utmost?"
2789I suppose I may extend the kiss of peace?"
2789I suppose you have a good deposit?"
2789I suppose, Walter, you hired the ram to do the proper thing in initiating the motor girls in the art of touring?"
2789I wonder will I ever have the courage to tell you all about it?"
2789In a suit case or a la hamper?
2789Is it all right?"
2789Is n''t it too mean that our old lumber wagon gave way?
2789Is n''t she tall, Tillie?
2789Is she a friend of yours?"
2789Is she going to be operated upon?"
2789Jack Kimball, how could you?
2789Joke, eh?"
2789Like our campus maps, you know?"
2789Might it be a time- table?"
2789No more stolen girls?"
2789Not a girl in the party but yourself saw-- what was it?
2789Now, Daisy, do you think you can run your machine without taking in any more circuses?
2789Now, do n''t you think it would be perfectly splendid to take the run with us?"
2789Now, who does that fit?"
2789She had no more idea of saying that than of saying:"Do you think it will snow?"
2789She may have guessed, but that is not knowing, is it, Cora?"
2789She will likely manage to keep out of the work, do n''t you think so?"
2789Show displeasure to so affable a hostess?
2789Suppose I want to be''run in''for traveling without a glimmer''?"
2789Take care of the ram, boys, and am I eligible for the trophy?
2789That Wren Salvey has been stolen- stolen, do you hear?"
2789The girls were utterly surprised, but what could they say?
2789The lines of some amateur poet flashed across the mind of Cora:"Does heaven in sending such as these, From Nature hold a claim?
2789The mystery is simply who took the papers and otherwise left the mailbag intact?"
2789Then for a moment he seemed uncertain-- should he lay the girl down, or carry her to a machine?
2789Then he blurted out:"Well, what if a friend did tip me off?
2789Then she added:"I wonder if we could arrange it to have Hazel come?
2789Then-- What was it?
2789They have to pass this way, do n''t you, Ed?"
2789They say it is a disease, is n''t it, doctor?"
2789To keep them nearer to The Gates, To call them in again?"
2789To kill folks as try to feed him?
2789To say nothing of putting so nice a boy as Paul to inconvenience?"
2789Tom seemed to know so much-- what if he should know about the missing table?
2789Was it not all right for her to ride with Doctor Bennet, to reach Chelton by noon and return before night?
2789Was it really time to get up?
2789Was n''t he in as much danger from your runaway machine as the next one?"
2789Was n''t it ridiculous to see the ram positively driving the car?
2789Was n''t she a girl, though?
2789Was n''t that Daisy?
2789Was she buying a new novel to read en route?
2789Was that roaring in her ears just awakened nerves?
2789Was there anything he might not do?
2789Were you going to Aunt Salvey''s?"
2789What did you ever do with the junk?"
2789What do you imagine our little girls are thinking and doing about now?"
2789What else do you expect young ladies to observe?
2789What for?
2789What girl at Springsley does n''t know her?
2789What has happened to Paul?"
2789What have I done?"
2789What he might do?
2789What is dearer to the real girl than a real secret-- when the keeping of it involves further delights in its development?
2789What more should be told?
2789What motive have those who brought up this alleged case?
2789What on earth do you suppose Walter will do with that ram?"
2789What shall we do?"
2789What time is it?"
2789What would any one think of such a procession?
2789What''s the matter with you fellows, anyhow?
2789What''s the real truth?"
2789What-- happened?"
2789Whatever will my little brown Wren think of me?"
2789Where and who was the unfortunate driver?
2789Where are you?
2789Where can he be?"
2789Where did you last have it?"
2789Where is Clip?
2789Where is Wren?"
2789Where on earth would I get seventy- five cents to go to Europe with?"
2789Who could be at the back of the defaming scheme to spread the report?
2789Who could have been so careless as to leave an unlighted auto in the roadway, and night coming on?
2789Who could have dared to say that he was in league with whoever took those papers from the mailbag?
2789Who ever heard of such a thing?
2789Who would it be?
2789Why could n''t Cora just run in to Chelton herself with Duncan?
2789Why could she never hide her feelings about Jack and Clip?
2789Why did n''t you ask to whom it did belong?"
2789Why is a storm in the afternoon of such consequence?"
2789Why should he lose so much?
2789Why should she stop at the thought of propriety?
2789Why should she think of Jack and Clip and Wren when she was captain of the Motor Girls''Club, and they expected a good time on their initial run?
2789Will you be able to come?"
2789Will you have time to wait?"
2789Wo n''t you step in?"
2789Would he again molest her?
2789Would it be too much trouble for him just to call?
2789Would you call it a joke to have two masked men jump in front of a running car, and flash something shiny?
2789Would you like to sell that ram?"
2789Would you trust me to get the Whirlwind in the shed safely?"
2789she managed to say;"do you think boys of their caliber would tamper with the mail?
53406A visit from Uncle Ezra; eh? 53406 All ready?"
53406And Uncle Ezra did?
53406And Uncle Ezra sold Mr. Wardell this worthless stock?
53406And he is practically assured of his money if he does make that protest, Dad?
53406And he was playing all that time to get possession of those papers?
53406And how could he figure out that you''d give him a lift?
53406And so he has a chance to get back his fortune?
53406And so you put water in their gasoline tank?
53406And so you''re responsible for my losing all this money, be you, Nephew Richard?
53406And the glacier?
53406And we might be regarded as''hostile interests''; is that it?
53406And what will Uncle Ezra say when he finds it out?
53406And will you do that for me?
53406And you agreed to do this?
53406And you can advise me; ca n''t you?
53406Any news from home, Dick?
53406Are we going to put up at a hotel for lunch?
53406Are we going to run along, hit or miss, or have we some definite plan?
53406Are we walking too fast for you?
53406Are you all ready?
53406Are you all right? 53406 Are you all right?"
53406Are you going right into''Frisco?
53406Are you going to tell him so?
53406Are you going to try the bridge?
53406Are you lost? 53406 Are you ready to start?"
53406Are you sure that''s the machine?
53406Are you sure you''ll be all right?
53406Are-- are we all here?
53406Boys, are you with me?
53406Boys, will you start up the phonograph again for my friends?
53406But are they ahead or behind us?
53406But can you arrange with your lawyer to furnish the necessary papers?
53406But how can you, with our car stalled?
53406But how did he know you were coming along the road where he disabled his car?
53406But how did you guess it? 53406 But how do you catch the autoists once they are past the second mile stone, supposing they have broken the pole?"
53406But how do you suppose the map was taken last night?
53406But if he does get the papers so long before the time when you have to turn them over to the courts, Dick, ca n''t you get other copies?
53406But if there is n''t any love lost between you, why is he coming here, Dick? 53406 But is it?"
53406But is there a hotel in Hosford?
53406But say, Dick, how did you get onto that fellow''s curves?
53406But supposing the car did n''t stop?
53406But what about the windlass?
53406But what in the world were they after?
53406But what is it your father is going to give you?
53406But what will become of him, Uncle Ezra, if he has n''t any money?
53406But when you knew his game, and suspected what he was up to, were n''t you afraid to let him go to your car, and you remain at the spring?
53406But why an auto?
53406But why did not the man who ordered it take it after it was completed?
53406But why does he make all this fuss about it? 53406 But why four horses?
53406Ca n''t sleep; eh?
53406Ca n''t you put on the reverse?
53406Can it be, by any chance, Mr. Cameron,the young millionaire asked,"that your case has any connection with the Citrous Junction Railway?"
53406Can we do anything else for you, Mr.--er--?
53406Can you attach them to the back of the house as well as on the front?
53406Can you get any more speed up, Dick?
53406Cost something?
53406Could n''t you change your route, and fool your Uncle Ezra, Dick?
53406Couldn''t-- couldn''t they be followed on a bicycle?
53406Did he say what his business was around here?
53406Did n''t Bill Hockey, at the top of the hill, warn you about this bridge?
53406Did n''t he like it?
53406Did not what?
53406Did some one owe you money?
53406Did they get anything?
53406Did they get much?
53406Did they?
53406Did you call for help?
53406Did you get a new road map?
53406Did you locate him?
53406Did you mark that road map envelope''legal papers''?
53406Do n''t you think that''s risky?
53406Do you live around here?
53406Do you make those up for stock?
53406Do you mean it?
53406Do you really think they''re shooting at us?
53406Do you really think those men were after the papers, Dick?
53406Do you recognize that name?
53406Do you suppose your uncle took advantage of him?
53406Do you think I''m crazy?
53406Do you think he''ll testify for Mr. Wardell if you show him the facts?
53406Do you think it''s safe to keep the law papers in such a place?
53406Do you think they had orders to prevent you from going away?
53406Do you think they''re safe there?
53406Do you want to jump?
53406Especially in this kind of weather, and vacation so near at hand; eh, Paul?
53406Going camping?
53406Grit, have you no manners?
53406Have a car made to order?
53406Have you an auto here, too?
53406Have you got any ragtime?
53406Have you got that savage cur still?
53406Have you looked for your papers, Dick?
53406Have you seen anything of a bulldog?
53406Have you seen him?
53406Have you the doors locked?
53406He could? 53406 He''ll rather have it in for you; wo n''t he, Dick?"
53406Horses? 53406 How are you going to fasten the tackle to the car?"
53406How are you?
53406How could you tell that?
53406How do you figure it out?
53406How do you mean?
53406How do you stop the speeding autos when they get to the second mile post?
53406How do you suppose they worked it?
53406How is that?
53406How is your father?
53406How is your magneto?
53406How long will it take?
53406How much?
53406How so?
53406How was that?
53406How''s that?
53406How?
53406How?
53406How?
53406I guess you know my two chums; do n''t you?
53406I know, but he did n''t know it was worthless?
53406I say, old boy, you''re not going to take that egg; are you?
53406I suppose so"And if this Wardell did n''t know enough to protect himself, that was n''t my fault; was it?
53406I wonder how they overpowered him? 53406 I wonder if I could n''t see him and make some deal with him?"
53406I wonder what he''s up to?
53406I wonder what sort of a car I ought to take?
53406I wonder----?
53406I would n''t have gone alone for a farm; would we, Grit?
53406I''d like to know what you do call it?
53406I''m afraid,answered the young millionaire,"that he''ll have a fit; wo n''t he, Grit?"
53406If the papers are filed in time I can save my fortune?
53406In plain sight?
53406In this desert?
53406Innis, you''re nearest to it, turn on the stove, will you, and set the coffee to boiling? 53406 Is Grit hurt?"
53406Is he going to take you to Europe this vacation?
53406Is it a good world?
53406Is n''t he fine?
53406Is n''t he going to crank up?
53406Is she all right, Dick?
53406Is that another of your jokes?
53406Is that some one ahead of us, or behind us?
53406Is there anything we can do?
53406Is this the man-- this Wardell?
53406Is-- is any one under the car?
53406It does seem rather foolish; does n''t it?
53406It will be a good joke on your Uncle Ezra, to get Mr. Wardell''s fortune away from him; wo n''t it?
53406Joking; eh? 53406 Let''s see, where is that part of his note?"
53406No?
53406No?
53406Not even with all the trouble Uncle Ezra made?
53406Now what''s the program?
53406Now, where do you want to go?
53406Of course we will,said Dick, quickly;"but ca n''t we give you a lift on your way?
53406Oh, something for me, Toots?
53406Oh, then you also came in an auto?
53406Oh, then you''re going to cook over an open fire?
53406Oh, what does it matter?
53406Oh, what is the present generation coming to?
53406Oh, what''s the use of playing it out?
53406Oh, you''ve got to take some chances in this world, old man; eh, Grit?
53406Ruined him, you mean, Uncle Ezra?
53406Sam, and Bill, do n''t you want to get busy?
53406Saved your life?
53406Say, ca n''t you fellows get your folks on the long distance telephone, and see when you can go?
53406Say, is this the road to Centreville?
53406Say, what about him?
53406Say, you want a traveling hotel; do n''t you?
53406Shall I start the electric fan, Dick?
53406Sittin''up rather late; are n''t you, Mortimer?
53406So, Wardell does n''t know; eh?
53406Somebody dead you know?
53406That pole across the road would n''t be hard to break; would it?
53406The millionaire?
53406Then what''s the trouble?
53406Then why ca n''t they be sent out there, and held until it is time to present them to the court?
53406Then will you turn them down?
53406Then you cleaned him out, Uncle Ezra?
53406Then you have friends with you?
53406There ai n''t nothin''slow about you boys; be there?
53406There were three of''em, all right,said Paul,"and I guess they''re a little more rough- looking than they were at first; eh, boys?"
53406Think you can drive it?
53406Tricks like Uncle Ezra''s?
53406Trust myself in that? 53406 Wa''al, he brought it on himself; did n''t he?
53406Want another auto, Dick?
53406Want any help?
53406Want to come for a walk?
53406Warn me?
53406Was he dissatisfied with it?
53406Well, I suppose your nephew is well off?
53406Well, Mortimer, I did n''t do nothin''unlawful; did I? 53406 Well, it was pretty good; was n''t it?"
53406Well, shall we go ashore?
53406Well, what can we do?
53406Well, what do you know about that?
53406Well, what do you know about that?
53406Well, what''s the answer?
53406Well, what''s to be done next? 53406 Well, when do we start?"
53406Were they some of Uncle Ezra''s gang?
53406Were you, indeed? 53406 What about him?"
53406What about those papers, Dick?
53406What are you going to do, Dick?
53406What are you going to do, old man?
53406What can you do?
53406What did they do to you, old fellow?
53406What did you do to him?
53406What do you know about them, Dick?
53406What do you mean?
53406What do you mean?
53406What do you think of him?
53406What does that mean?
53406What happened, anyhow? 53406 What in the world had the broken steering knuckle to do with it?"
53406What is it?
53406What is it?
53406What is that?
53406What is your programme?
53406What kind have you?
53406What kind of a car is he going to give you, Dick?
53406What luck?
53406What luck?
53406What makes you so sure?
53406What was it?
53406What was it?
53406What would you say if I told you there was a chance to get back your fortune?
53406What''d you want to come down hill so fast for?
53406What''s our programme, then?
53406What''s that you said?
53406What''s that?
53406What''s that?
53406What''s that?
53406What''s that?
53406What''s that?
53406What''s the game for to- morrow?
53406What''s the matter here?
53406What''s the matter, old man? 53406 What''s the matter?"
53406What''s the matter?
53406What''s the matter?
53406What''s the matter?
53406What''s the programme for to- day?
53406What''s the route to- day?
53406What''s this? 53406 What''s your game?"
53406What-- what did you say your name was?
53406What-- what''s the matter?
53406What? 53406 What?
53406What?
53406What?
53406When do we start?
53406When do you expect to start?
53406Where are the papers now, Dick?
53406Where are we going to stay to- night?
53406Where are you bound for?
53406Where are you fellows from?
53406Where do you expect to end your days?
53406Where does he live?
53406Where to?
53406Which man was that? 53406 Which way did the men go?"
53406Which way?
53406Who is Heinie? 53406 Who is Heinie?"
53406Who is kicking my legs?
53406Who is this Wardell, anyhow?
53406Who said get up?
53406Who, Wardell?
53406Who-- Dick or Lem?
53406Who?
53406Who?
53406Why ca n''t Dick do the same thing?
53406Why is he himself not here to give testimony?
53406Why not, I''d like to know?
53406Why not?
53406Why should n''t I?
53406Why so?
53406Why was he?
53406Why, Paul?
53406Why, where is Grit?
53406Why?
53406Will a duck swim?
53406Will you have a fried egg sandwich?
53406Wo n''t let him go out?
53406Would they telegraph in to the lawyers?
53406Would you mind letting me see him?
53406Would you mind telling me,he said,"just what your testimony consists of?"
53406Wreck your nephew''s auto?
53406Yes, I know I can, but what good will it do me? 53406 You are looking for clues, then?"
53406You are students at the Kentfield Academy then?
53406You are?
53406You can? 53406 You consented to see a man cheated out of his fortune?"
53406You expected him to skip out; did you?
53406You mean an automobile, Dick? 53406 You mean they may follow us?"
53406You''nail''''em; is that it?
53406You''ve got ropes and pulleys; have n''t you?
53406You-- you''ll get that paper; wo n''t you?
53406A burly man sauntered out of a shed and demanded:"Whatcher want here?"
53406All ready, boys?"
53406An''dis is private property-- see?
53406And then, as Mr. Larabee left Dick''s chum asked:"Well, what''s next on the program, old man?
53406Any more coffee left?"
53406Are n''t we ever to get away from my Uncle Ezra?"
53406Are the roads pretty good now?"
53406Are you going far?"
53406Are you going to eat so near supper time?"
53406Are you going to tell him it was your uncle who got all his money away from him?"
53406As he went toward the handsome room, intending to join them, he heard Mr. Hamilton remark:"So you got possession of all his securities, Ezra?"
53406As they drove into the side entrance of Dick''s house a voice called from the library:"What''s this, Mortimer?
53406Be you cookin''in there?"
53406Black?"
53406Buffalo?"
53406But does he know of this time limit?"
53406But how can your uncle think it is right to send men to search your auto for papers?"
53406But how do you decide that a change has been made?"
53406But supposing the place catches fire?"
53406But what are you going to do now?"
53406But what good is that going to do?
53406But what had that to do with an intention to take his own life?"
53406But where are you staying?"
53406But you were too much for''em; eh, Grit?"
53406But, Dick, what is it you want to do?"
53406But, as long as he pays our price, we''ll do his work; eh?"
53406But, look here, Mr. Hamilton, what good will the papers do me when I ca n''t go to San Francisco to file them?
53406By the way, he is some relation to you; is n''t he?
53406CHAPTER IX DICK MAKES PLANS"Well, Dick, so you think you have the very car you want?"
53406CHAPTER V THE BIG CAR"What kind of a car have you in mind, Dick?"
53406CHAPTER XII UNCLE EZRA PLOTS"What''s our time- table, Dick?"
53406CHAPTER XIII THE HAND IN THE DARK"Say, this is a little bit of all right; is n''t it?"
53406CHAPTER XX DOWN HILL"You''d never suspect it was there; would you?"
53406CHAPTER XXI MAROONED"Ca n''t you hold her, Dick?"
53406CHAPTER XXIII OFF AGAIN"How''s that post now?"
53406CHAPTER XXIV A NIGHT ENCOUNTER"Did you think there was anything queer about that man, Dick?"
53406CHAPTER XXV INTO THE LONELINESS"Have you the time?"
53406CHAPTER XXVI BAD NEWS"Say it sure is lonesome; is n''t it?"
53406CHAPTER XXXII THE RACE"Something gone wrong?"
53406Ca n''t he be sent farther off?"
53406Ca n''t you take a hand, and change matters?"
53406Can I help at anything?"
53406Can you arrange to file them?"
53406Can you give us some ragtime?"
53406Can you manage to escape?"
53406Can you wait for me there?"
53406Could I get one around here, do you imagine?"
53406Dick, do you know what I think?"
53406Did you ever see such bad luck?"
53406Did you notice what he did after we started away?"
53406Do n''t you remember, Paul, hearing him tell about how a certain party did n''t know enough to hold on to his wealth, and all that?"
53406Do n''t you think so yourself?"
53406Do you believe in fate?"
53406Do you know the route they are going to take?"
53406Do you think we''ll have any more adventures like those we''ve just passed through?"
53406Do you think you can make your car a base of supplies, Dick, and live in it without going to hotels, as you plan?"
53406Do you want him to come here?"
53406Even if we got to''Frisco before the end of the week, which we could easily do, by abandoning the car and taking a train, what good would it do?
53406Ever meet him?"
53406For, as Dick said,"What was the use of coming out on a tour if you kept in touch with civilization all the while?"
53406Going to broil the steak on your over- heated engine, I suppose, and make coffee with the hot water from your radiator?
53406Hamilton?"
53406Has some one sent you a bill?"
53406Have they harmed you?"
53406Have you looked at the carbureter?"
53406Have you the papers safe?"
53406He looked from Dick to Paul and Innis, who were silently laughing, and then he inquired:"Which one of you is his keeper?"
53406He passed close to Dick, and found a chance to whisper:"Where are the papers?"
53406How about it?"
53406How are you going to pick out a car among so many, Dick?"
53406How can I get away and reach''Frisco?"
53406How does that strike you?"
53406How?"
53406Hungry or thirsty, perhaps?"
53406I ca n''t act, and yet----""Is there anything to prevent me, Dad?"
53406I had a right to swing my own market the way I liked; did n''t I?"
53406I know your father slightly-- Mortimer Hamilton?"
53406I suppose we could borrow a shovel?"
53406I thought two would be enough?"
53406I wonder if it would be wrong to act on the information I overheard by accident?
53406I wonder if it''s for sale, boys?"
53406I wonder what he wanted of Uncle Ezra?"
53406I wonder who he is?"
53406In your pocket?"
53406Innis, how much moving force do we require?"
53406Is n''t he that sour- faced man who hates your bulldog, Grit, and who thinks football is a waste of time?"
53406Is n''t that great news?
53406Is that dog in here?"
53406Is that it?"
53406Is the break a bad one?"
53406It looks like a hold- off game, spiriting the witness away in that fashion, and yet what can we do?
53406It''s a good joke on Wardell; ai n''t it?"
53406Larabee?"
53406Larabee?"
53406May I ask how you figure in it?"
53406Maybe chase half way to San Francisco on an old wheel?
53406Oh, you''re the fellows with the big auto; are n''t you?"
53406See anything of Paul?"
53406Shall I bring up a scuttle of coal, or a pail of water?"
53406So this is your car?"
53406That''s a rich one; eh, Grit?"
53406The funny part of it is, Mortimer, that even now, if Wardell only knowed enough, he could get back his fortune?"
53406Then, as the last echoes died away, Dick Hamilton jumped to his feet and called out:"Who is there?"
53406Think you can pull off anything?"
53406Those papers?"
53406Wardell?"
53406Was it a joke?"
53406We ai n''t goin''to do nothin''unlawful; are we?"
53406Well, are you ready?"
53406Well, shall we go back?"
53406Were they three rough- looking fellows?"
53406What are you going to do, Dick?"
53406What did he want to stop that way for?"
53406What did they do to you?"
53406What do you mean?"
53406What do you say to a trip to California with me in the new auto I''m going to get?
53406What do you want a shovel for?"
53406What does this mean?"
53406What else did you expect?
53406What happened?"
53406What is it now?"
53406What is it?"
53406What make is that?"
53406What would he say if he were here?
53406What''s the matter, old fellow?"
53406What''s your programme, Paul?"
53406When there''s a fairly good hotel in the village?"
53406Where did this come from?"
53406Where do you want to go?"
53406Where would we be likely to get a rope and pulleys?"
53406Where''s your horses?"
53406Where?
53406Who are you that you make the night melodious with your music and song?"
53406Who else would have an object in preventing me from trying to save Mr. Wardell''s fortune?"
53406Why does n''t he wait until the time comes, and then file in court a legal paper that would offset the one you have for Mr. Wardell, Dick?"
53406Why, you''ve got a regular sleepin''an''dinin''car here; ai n''t you?"
53406Why?"
53406Will he be all right with you?"
53406Will you come?"
53406Will you stay to dinner, and meet my father?
53406Wo n''t you come up and meet my new friends?"
53406Would you like to look it over more closely?"
53406You do n''t mean that; do you?"
53406You do n''t mean to say you let your son get an expensive auto like that?"
53406You do n''t mean to tell me that Mortimer Hamilton is going to waste money on another trip to Europe?"
53406You do n''t want to make yourself criminally liable; do you?"
53406You have n''t anything on; have you?"
53406You remember that story of Edgar Allan Poe''s--''The Purloined Letter''; do n''t you?"
53406You say the papers have to be filed on a certain date?"
53406are you going to the graduation ball?"
19412Ah, but what of the enemy?
19412Am I to understand that?
19412Am I?
19412And dear Mrs. Norton another?
19412And you do think I was right to let you know?
19412Are n''t you cold?
19412Are you flirting with Dick, then?
19412Are you hungry?
19412Are you offended with me?
19412But do n''t they ever take them over to see the British Museum or the National Gallery? 19412 But you are wet, are n''t you?"
19412But-- but if he''s poor?
19412Could you imagine a girl wanting to marry Dick Burden?
19412Did he tell you so?
19412Did n''t Ellaline warn you I was a regular dragon?
19412Did n''t you buy her anything good enough for dances that day in Bond Street?
19412Did you ever see a young lady who did n''t want to dance, especially on a man- o''-war?
19412Did you ever see anything so beautiful?
19412Did you give it to Starlin?
19412Do I look like a flirt?
19412Do n''t you know I love you-- worship you-- adore you?
19412Do n''t you like Dick Burden?
19412Do n''t you think women love the truth as much as men?
19412Do you insinuate that marrying my aunt would make him miserable?
19412Do you want them to come?
19412Do you want to dance it with him?
19412Do you want to hear what he''s got to say?
19412Does Mrs. Norton know about-- me?
19412Does he know-- forgive me-- does he know that you do n''t love him-- a little?
19412Does n''t it look like translucent coral, and would n''t you like to have a dress exactly that colour?
19412First volume of a human documentis n''t inexpressive of a young girl, is it?
19412Had n''t I better see her now?
19412Have I a black on my nose, or is my dress undone at the back?
19412Have I had a serious fire, and what has been burnt?
19412Have you already got all you want of them, or could you make use of more?
19412Have you come to say-- that Miss Lethbridge has been prevented from meeting me?
19412How does she spell her name of Audrie?
19412How would you like a motor- car trip?
19412How''s that? 19412 I beg your pardon, but are n''t you Sir Lionel Pendragon?"
19412I ca n''t be mistaken, sir, can I?
19412I hope you have n''t gone to the trouble of engaging a nurse for me?
19412I suppose you do n''t recognize me?
19412I wonder if birds will cover us with leaves?
19412I?
19412If that is so, what have you done to him, to give him hope?
19412If you call her deceitful, what are you?
19412In spite of all the injustice I did you-- and showed that I did you?
19412Indeed?
19412Is it Sir Lionel who''s making you play it?
19412Is n''t it rather old- fashioned, in these rapid days, for a young man to ask a guardian''s permission to make love to his ward?
19412Is she-- by any chance-- the daughter of a_ Frederic_ Lethbridge?
19412Is that your last word?
19412Might n''t it have been at Paris?
19412Not even-- Venice?
19412Not to-- what?
19412Now, where_ could_ it have been? 19412 Oh, ca n''t they?"
19412Oh, may n''t I have a peep to- night?
19412Oh, then you thought I_ would_ be an incubus?
19412On leave, I suppose?
19412On my character, perhaps?
19412Only in women?
19412Only, if you''ll just trust me to manage him?
19412Shall I give it to you now?
19412Should you think so?
19412Since when?
19412So that''s the theory? 19412 Surely we have met before, Miss Lethbridge?"
19412Thank God?
19412The question is-- do you hate me?
19412Then, he is n''t in it?
19412To get it, then?
19412To marry him at once?
19412Was there a villa?
19412Well, you were n''t disappointed in my surprise, I think?
19412Went off-- where?
19412Wh- what do you mean?
19412What army?
19412What did he do?
19412What else_ could_ it be?
19412What fire?
19412What have I done to you, that you should interfere?
19412What is he afraid to say to me?
19412What ought you to be prepared to see me do?
19412What put such a ghastly idea into your head?
19412What then?
19412What''s that?
19412What''s the difference?
19412What''s your birth month?
19412What-- this very month? 19412 What?"
19412What_ shall_ I do?
19412Where did you get that?
19412Where''s your chaperon?
19412Where?
19412Who are they?
19412Who can that be?
19412Who has been telling you tales about me in Bengal?
19412Why do you ask that?
19412Why does Mrs. Senter want to come with us?
19412Why, even if you did,said she,"it would n''t matter greatly to them, because Dick has something of his own, and she is an heiress, is n''t she?"
19412Why, is anybody dead?
19412Why, was there a cemetery there?
19412Why?
19412Why?
19412Why?
19412Would they fit you?
19412Would you be willing to trust me?
19412Would you like me to love him?
19412Would you like to dance?
19412You are sure she has done that?
19412You call this_ mere_ business?
19412You did n''t come here alone?
19412You do, at all events, wish to be engaged to Burden?
19412You knew?
19412You mean that?
19412You wo n''t actually refuse your consent, then?
19412You would n''t refuse the first thing I''ve asked you?
19412You''d tell her, if I refused to hunt in that way?
19412You_ wo n''t_ tell Sir Lionel I interfered, will you?
19412_ Do_ you want to?
19412( But what is there that my good sister does, which she does not do religiously?)
19412( By the by, I wonder if the inquisitors ever hit on the ingenious plan of making prisoners torture themselves?
19412( Do n''t you think other animals must consider the laughter of humans an odd noise, without rhyme or reason?)
19412( I forget if I mentioned that he has nice eyes?
19412( I told you I''d lost my head, did n''t I?)
19412( Or would Jephtha''s daughter be more appropriate?
19412( Sounds like something new in embroidery, does n''t it?)
19412( We all have our"mouse,"have n''t we?
19412A charming fashion he''s taken to show it, has n''t he?
19412A pity we could n''t have been here earlier in the year, is n''t it?
19412A"sportin'', huntin'', don''t- you- know-- what?"
19412All that sounds bad enough for me, does n''t it?
19412Am I crabbed age?
19412Am I gabbling school- girl gush, or am I groping toward light?
19412And I ca n''t possibly be falling in love with Ellaline''s Dragon, can I?
19412And at nineteen you have enlisted in that army?"
19412And by the way, how_ are_ your poor dear bones?
19412And is n''t it nice, the Bankes still have the old keys, where they live, at Kingston Lacy?
19412And it is splendid, is n''t it, darling?
19412And that news does seem to settle the man''s character, does n''t it?
19412And was n''t it odd, we had the same favourites?
19412And what bad luck that he should know Ellaline''s guardian, was n''t it?
19412And what d''you think, ladies, he says, when I accused him o''savin''my life?"
19412And what has he found out?
19412And what was my covered balcony for, if not to dream dreams and think thoughts, by moonlight?
19412And would I have a sandwich, and then start, or would I prefer to wait for dinner?
19412And, do you know, I''m afraid she''s going on the motor trip with us?
19412Are n''t they all as crystal as the depths of mountain tarns, or that amethystine colour of the sky behind the clear profiles of high peaks?
19412Are you surprised I had n''t the heart to refuse?
19412As long as I do n''t betray myself, why not?
19412Beastly, is n''t it?
19412But I suppose I''ve said that about other places, have n''t I?
19412But I wonder what you''ll say in your next, after my last?
19412But how can you be witty when the only thing you want to say is"devil and damn,"of which he would violently disapprove from a lady''s lips( or pen)?
19412But if I did take it?
19412But if Providence did n''t wish women to lace, why were n''t our ribs made to go all the way down?
19412But if they care for each other?"
19412But in what way do you mean?"
19412But is n''t this funny talk, in the midst of describing Exeter?
19412But one often respects people one dislikes, does n''t one?
19412But perhaps they will be, some day before long-- who knows?
19412But the real Audrie was always decently truthful, was n''t she?
19412But to be serious-- and goodness knows it''s serious enough-- what''s to be done, little mother?
19412But what can you do between two evils?
19412But what could a king do with a cave nowadays?
19412But why should she bother?
19412But would n''t it be dreadful if I should go and fall in love with Sir Lionel Pendragon of all other men in the world?
19412But would n''t she be ungrateful if she had n''t?
19412But, why not, after all?
19412But-- I wonder if there is a"but"?
19412But-- do you want to marry Dick Burden, some day?"
19412But----""What?"
19412By the way, can one''s stays be a quality?
19412Ca n''t you see the beautiful picture?
19412Can it have been this Frederic Lethbridge, and if so, had it anything to do with money matters?
19412Can she have had an escapade, I wonder?
19412Can you answer me that?"
19412Can you imagine me in such a dream?
19412Cloud?
19412Dear little, wise mother, I wonder if you ever thought it might end like this?
19412Did Dragons of old insist on their fairy princess- prisoners having exquisite clothes, and say"hang the expense"?
19412Did I tell you that before?
19412Did it concern me?
19412Did you ever hear of them, Parisienne mamma?
19412Do n''t you remember, it was from Conway Castle that Richard the Second started out to meet Bolingbroke?
19412Do n''t you think"Apollo"an appropriate name for such a magnificent car as I''ve described to you?
19412Do write me the minute you get this, wo n''t you?
19412Do you happen to know what a microcosm means?
19412Do you know what it is to think architecturally?
19412Do you know, I had almost forgotten Dick for two or three days?
19412Do you know, he''s in the act of doing it on the Bayeux tapestry?
19412Do you remember dear old Ennis''s Rooms, which you and I used to think the height of luxury and gaiety?
19412Do you remember how, when we were boys, we discussed favourite names, and placed Audrey high in the list among those of women?
19412Do you remember reading about Keats, that he wrote a lot of"Endymion"at Burford Bridge?
19412Do you remember the pig- baby in"Alice''s Adventures"?
19412Do you remember?
19412Do you suppose a condemned person finds his last sip of life the sweetest in the cup?
19412Do you think, dear, that if I were in a novel they would have me for a heroine or a wicked adventuress?
19412Does n''t Macaulay refer to that as"the last fight deserving the name of battle, fought on English soil"?
19412Does n''t that prove the type of mind he has?
19412Does n''t that take one back to long ago?
19412Does that come back to you, from Arthur''s speech to Bedévere?
19412Dost like the picture?
19412Eaten something with the wrong fork?"
19412For instance, she asked Sir Lionel, apropos of woman''s suffrage, whether, on the whole, he preferred a man''s woman, or a woman''s woman?
19412From Sidmouth we went to Budleigh Salterton( why either, but especially both?
19412Have you noticed it?
19412He did n''t tell me that part, naturally, but there was no need, because I guessed----""What-- what have you done to him?"
19412He says that I-- Ellaline-- can afford to have everything that''s nice; so what_ can_ I do?
19412He told Dick the same thing; so there''ll be no leaving us two alone in lovesick corners( can corners be lovesick?
19412He''d bought back the darling ring in Chester, and now he put it on my finger again; and I''m sure, dearest, that you wo n''t mind our being engaged?
19412His look is a mixture of laziness and impudence, and half his sentences he ends up with"What?"
19412How am I to support the shopping ordeal?
19412How comes Ellaline de Nesville''s and Fred Lethbridge''s daughter to be what this girl seems?
19412I do hope it has n''t upset you too much?"
19412I do hope you wo n''t think me impertinent and interfering?
19412I do pray I''m not getting kitten- catty?
19412I even saw waste- paper pots; and if that is n''t like Broek in Waterland, what is?
19412I felt like their mother( I hope that''s not unmaidenly?)
19412I hope it did n''t sound pert, to answer like that?
19412I hope that''s a good omen?
19412I implored, helplessly drifting; and then, to my surprise-- can you"find"that you''ve lost a thing?
19412I ought to write a better letter in such a mood, ought n''t I?
19412I say to myself,"Well, if this is his opinion of me, why not believe there''s something in it, and do as other men have done before me?
19412I suppose it''s the way I do my hair for school, which does give me a look of incorruptible virtue, does n''t it?
19412I suppose one ca n''t have a soul for Paris fashions and English architecture too?
19412I suppose she ca n''t be cherishing a hidden passion for you?
19412I suppose that ought to make me feel rather young, ought n''t it?
19412I suppose that was an answer?
19412I think I can guess who the somebody was, ca n''t you?
19412I think he has behaved like a saint on a stained- glass window, do n''t you?
19412I think women ought to be as"well found"for motoring, as for yachting, do n''t you?
19412I told you how nice Sir Lionel looks in evening clothes, did n''t I?
19412I was never so happy in my life, and when I just could n''t help saying so to Sir Lionel, what do you suppose he answered?
19412I wonder does the climate of Bengal preserve people, like flies in amber?
19412I wonder how many people in the hundreds of motors that flash back and forth each day do think of it all?
19412I wonder if Ellaline realizes his importance in that way?
19412I wonder if a child sheds its first hair, like its first teeth?
19412I wonder if eggs can be post- dated, like cheques?
19412I wonder if girls were pretty in those days, or men handsome, and if anyone cared?
19412I wonder if he_ can_ know she is merely"the alleged"?
19412I wonder if it meant that the mother has any weird sort of disease-- contagious, perhaps?
19412I wonder if it might n''t be nice for you to spend a season, taking the waters, or bathing, or whatever is the smartest thing to do?
19412I wonder if she''d heard that, or made it up?
19412I wonder if they are talking about each other, to each other, or-- about_ Dick and me_?
19412I wonder if you are sparing a few minutes to- night to dream of Your Audrie?
19412I wonder if_ it_ was chopped off in the neighbourhood, too, or if it''s only a pleasant fancy, to cover up the Buckingham stain in the yard?
19412I wonder what going to school was like when all the world was young?
19412I wonder what would have happened if I had?
19412I wonder which was right?
19412I''m certain I should have proposed before breakfast( I wonder if any other man was ever in love enough for that?)
19412I''m not, am I?
19412If I am ever Lady Pendragon( sounds well, does n''t it?)
19412If it came to that, I might in my rage wax unladylike; so perhaps, of the two evils, the lesser would be the sneak act--_n''est ce pas_?
19412In my short note from Launceston, did I mention the old Norman house which belongs to cousins of Sir Lionel''s?
19412Is it possible you defended me to her?"
19412Is it three or four years old?
19412Is it true or is it not that you wanted to go with the Tyndals in their motor to- day?"
19412Is n''t Gallantry Bower a fine name?
19412Is n''t it a beautiful miracle, the banishing of black darkness by the clear light of genius?
19412Is n''t it a law of nature, or something, to choose the lesser?
19412Is n''t it charming of them?
19412Is n''t it nice that men are so much stronger than women, and that we''re meant to like them to be?
19412Is n''t that a good plan to make on my twenty- first birthday?
19412Is n''t"jingle"good?
19412Is that a wrong note for a prayer?
19412Is that why they''re dangerous?
19412Is your mother really ill?
19412It appeared that the Dragon''s sister( who would suspect a dragon of sisters?)
19412It seems_ meant_, does n''t it?
19412It was by moonlight, in a garden, so who can blame the poor child?
19412It was easy to see that he hoped he''d excited our curiosity; and he must have been disappointed in Sir Lionel''s half- hearted"Indeed?"
19412It would be like tempting Providence to polish off dust or mud, in such circumstances, would n''t it?
19412It''s true, is n''t it?
19412Just for the length of this tour in the motor- car, which throws us so constantly together?
19412Maybe the vinegar has pickled me internally?
19412My things usually do, do n''t they?
19412Not bad, that, was it?
19412Not devilled, I hope?
19412Nothing more than that; and why should I mind, when in any case there could never have been a question of my marrying Sir L.?
19412Now, what shall I say to you of Bamborough Castle, which is the crown of our whole tour?
19412Now,_ is_ it possible for a man like that to be treacherous to women, and to accept bribes for being guardian to their children?
19412Of course there''s nothing for it but she must marry the young man now, yet it seems a poor outlook, does n''t it?
19412Once she asked me what I did for_ my_ soul?
19412One ca n''t help admiring as well as wondering at that sort of ineradicable, persistent Britishness, can one?
19412Only, I do n''t think people do things from motives as a rule, do you?
19412Or are they the nuns come back in disguise?
19412Or can it be a mask, handed down by noble ancestry to cover up moral defects in a degenerate descendant?
19412Or is it only my bad conscience?
19412Or will she be sold as bankrupt stock?
19412Or will she become a kitchen- maid or"tweeny"in King Arthur''s Castle?
19412Ought I to repeat to Ellaline what Mrs. Senter told me about the money?
19412P. S.--Of course, it is n''t as if this man were an ordinary, nice, inoffensive human man, is it?
19412P. S.--That was an inspiration of mine about the Cheddar Cavern, was n''t it?
19412Perhaps Dick left a note with Mrs. Senter, which she is to put into Sir L.''s hand at an appropriate moment?
19412Perhaps I might say good- night to you both?"
19412Quite a coincidence, is n''t it?"
19412Rather awful about the gray serge and sailor hat, is n''t it?
19412Rather cruel of us, accusing her of being a flirt in those days, if she were in earnest all the time, eh?
19412Shall we talk here, while we have the chance?"
19412She asked her brother as gravely as possible at breakfast this morning:"Had you a harem in Bengal, dear?"
19412She does n''t know much about these things( how could she)?
19412She wants to see you, now that she understands, but----""Understands?"
19412Should you say that would be enough to satisfy them?"
19412Since we had our trouble?"
19412So that was a good entrance to Arthurian country, was n''t it?
19412So there I was with Sir Lionel once more; and I wondered if he thought of that night when we rushed through the storm from Tintagel to Clovelly?
19412So what_ will_ your telegram be?
19412Some people-- Mrs. Norton, for instance-- might say:"What on earth does the silly thing mean?"
19412Sounds disgusting, does n''t it?
19412Surely you must have seen about it in to- day''s London papers?"
19412Tell me-- did that cad try you too far at Bamborough, and did you defy him?"
19412That did n''t sound exciting, did it?
19412That goes unsaid, does n''t it?
19412That idea may still fit in rather well, may n''t it?
19412That is n''t a very dragonish sentiment, is it?
19412That is something to have divined by the magic of the forest, is n''t it, after I''ve been puzzling so long?
19412That must mean some correspondence in character, must n''t it?
19412That sounds entertaining, does n''t it?
19412That was old- fashioned, too, was n''t it?
19412That was quite right, was n''t it?
19412The Sun God-- Driver of the Chariot of the Sun?
19412The lady inquired nasally of our old friend,"Is this hall mod- ern; what you call mod- ern?"
19412Then, when we had finished, Sir Lionel said,"Now, Mrs. Tupper, can you take us for a stroll round the farm?"
19412There is no rage like the dress rage, is there?
19412There speaks true appreciation, does n''t it?
19412There''s nothing more glorious than music in a cathedral, is there?
19412They knew each other in Bengal, and she kept saying to him in a cooing voice,"_ Do_ you remember?"
19412This_ was_ my début, I suppose?
19412Though, in our day together, we did n''t carry this, eh?"
19412To be sure, because of my position at Madame de Maluet''s, I have got a few outside pupils; but that''s indirectly through Ellaline, too, is n''t it?
19412To remember every dress I ever owned?
19412To- day, for instance, what do you think I did?
19412Unless Dick has told her something, after all?
19412Was I a great friend of Miss Bennett''s, and was it probable that she had my portrait?
19412Was n''t Amesbury a beautiful"leading up"to Stonehenge?
19412Was n''t Ellaline a relation of the millionaire family of Lethbridges?
19412Was n''t that a conceited idea?
19412Was n''t that a good idea, when they''d got nervous prostration having everybody tell them?
19412Was n''t that kind of him?
19412Was n''t that low of me?
19412Was n''t the cathedral begun by the father of Ælfred on the foundations of that poor church as well as those of a Roman temple?
19412Was n''t there a Christian church before the days of Arthur, my alleged ancestor?
19412We walked back to the hotel together, and he asked me, just as we were coming in, whether my allowance was enough, or would I like to have more?
19412Well, I had no answer to make; for it''s true, is n''t it?
19412Well, I''ve kept you waiting long enough, or have you, perhaps, read ahead?
19412Were the"dear, dead women"so much more desirable than we?
19412What can he mean?
19412What could we ask more than that?
19412What do you do on holidays?
19412What had I done?
19412What had become of him, I''d like to know?
19412What if I do have to pump up an intelligent interest in politics in general, and affairs in the Far East in particular?
19412What is to become of her?
19412What is your middle name?"
19412What shall I do, I wonder, if I have to part with her-- give her to some other man, perhaps?
19412What to make of it, however, that she told me only about ten days ago, she did n''t like him?
19412What was St. Swithin thinking of to let them do it?
19412What was his, in a woman?
19412What''s a girl doing out alone?"
19412What''s the harm, as long as we''re both English, and this is Paris?"
19412What?"
19412What?"
19412What_ can_ I know about him?
19412Whence can I have inherited these vicious tendencies?
19412Where-- how-- when?"
19412Which is it?"
19412Who but a Frenchwoman could combine all these qualities with the latest thing in hair- dressing and the neatest thing in stays?
19412Who will that somebody be?
19412Why do n''t men do such things for us nowadays?
19412Why does he go out of his way to avoid mentioning her name?"
19412Why not revel in borrowed sunshine?
19412Why should I care what becomes of them?
19412Why should n''t I triumph on both counts?
19412Why, did n''t the custodian point out to us, in the picture of an ancient plan of the chapel, the actual spot where their bodies lay?
19412Why, therefore, should this couple choose Ennis''s for supper?
19412Will she have to go to the place of unclaimed parcels?
19412Will you, when you get this, wire to me at once,"Writing according to your request to Sir L."?
19412Witches were fascinating; but many martyrs probably marted out of sheer obstinacy, do n''t you think?
19412Wo n''t you, Emily?
19412Would I be kind to him, and accept his present?
19412Would n''t I make it rattle?
19412Would n''t that be awful?
19412Would n''t that have been dreadful?
19412Would n''t they sell like hot cakes?
19412XIII AUDRIE BRENDON TO HER MOTHER_ Lulworth Cove_,_ July 30th_ Why are n''t you with me, dearest, seeing what I am seeing?
19412Yet I can see you looking puzzled as well as startled, and muttering to yourself:"Take Ellaline''s place?
19412Yet what would Elaine, the Lily Maid of Astolat, say to such a liberty, I wonder?
19412You and I were born knowing quite a lot of nice little things like that, were n''t we?
19412You believe that, do n''t you?
19412You ca n''t have centuries roll away, like a mere cloud of dust raised by your motor, and be perfectly normal, can you?
19412You know how, in the nave, you see so plainly the transition from one architectural period to another?
19412You know what I mean?
19412You know when we came back from our walk, and saw them sitting on the beach together, I said what a pretty picture they made?"
19412You know, there''s a magnificent Roman amphitheatre near by; but did we stay to look at it?
19412You know:"Do you like your lessons?
19412You remember Rolde, in Holland, do n''t you, with its miniature Stonehenge?
19412You remember it all, do n''t you?
19412You remember it?
19412You remember the day you and I walked to Winchester from Portsmouth, starting early in the morning, with our lunch in our pockets?
19412You remember, do n''t you, George?"
19412You seem to learn more about a flower by inhaling its perfume after rain, do n''t you think, than by dissecting it, petal by petal?
19412You swear you did n''t hypnotize him to say that?
19412You would have thought that that must have softened even a hard heart, would n''t you?
19412You would n''t mind a motor tour, would you, Emily?"
19412You would never guess what I''m going to do to- morrow morning?
19412_ Can_ she?
19412do?"
19412he asked,"or will you wait till to- morrow?"
19412or even"What- what?"
4914A wallet?
4914All ready?
4914All right?
4914All? 4914 And Walter?"
4914And is Paul coming?
4914And is that part of your uniform?
4914And she''s as plucky as-- um-- what shall I say? 4914 And what became of Lem Gildy?"
4914And why does n''t Jack let me take it to her?
4914And why not?
4914And why should he make such an insinuation against Mary?
4914And you feel you must invite Ida?
4914And you''re on her side, eh, Ed? 4914 Any damage done?"
4914Any news of the-- robbery?
4914Are n''t some of you going to tow me?
4914Are n''t they? 4914 Are we all ready?"
4914Are you all right, Mary?
4914Are you and your money going over in the machine?
4914Are you hurt?
4914As you please-- but, I pray you, fair sir, am I not a good milkmaid?
4914But do n''t you think I can manage my machine pretty well?
4914But have you been home to dinner?
4914But how can you leave him out?
4914But how could you lose it?
4914But if you really want to know, suppose we follow them?
4914But what could his object be?
4914But what do you think about Mary leaving so suddenly?
4914But what in the world do you suppose she wants with a motor hood?
4914But what is it?
4914But what''s the matter with you? 4914 But what''s the matter?"
4914But where are you going, Cora?
4914But who could have slipped it into your pocket?
4914But why do n''t you take a machine and go there? 4914 But why do n''t you want me to give it to her?"
4914But why wo n''t you go in the Whirlwind?
4914But wo n''t you tell me just this?
4914But you see--"And you can run it all alone?
4914But you''re not going to let old Smith tinker with it, are you?
4914But, Cora Kimball, do you suppose we could make mythological frocks that would stand damp, night air? 4914 But, Jack, what''s new?
4914But, Mr. Hastings, whom do you think paid Lem to do such a mean thing?
4914Ca n''t I help you?
4914Ca n''t you find it?
4914Ca n''t you slow up?
4914Ca n''t you stop payment?
4914Can I help you, Ida?
4914Can he be hurt? 4914 College lads?"
4914Cora? 4914 Did n''t you, really?"
4914Did you lose anything at my party?
4914Did you mislay your valuables?
4914Did you see Sid this evening?
4914Did you suspect him, Ed?
4914Did you think I ran away?
4914Do n''t you know better than to follow me?
4914Do n''t you know? 4914 Do n''t you remember he said he had some to invest in the new issue of bank stock?"
4914Do n''t you see where we are? 4914 Do n''t you want to take a sail?"
4914Do with it?
4914Do you belong to the department?
4914Do you feel all right?
4914Do you know them?
4914Do you know who she was?
4914Do you need any help?
4914Do you think he''ll show you?
4914Does Mary Downs know anything about it?
4914Does he know?
4914Doomed?
4914Es eet not becoming?
4914Finance?
4914For whom?
4914Girls coming up to- night?
4914Going over to New City?
4914Got a rope?
4914Got to?
4914Got what?
4914Got your car ordered yet?
4914Has Belle fainted?
4914Have you looked inside the ring?
4914He dared to say that?
4914Hear about it? 4914 Him, you mean?"
4914How about Jack?
4914How about my cloak?
4914How about the daughter?
4914How are you all?
4914How can I tell?
4914How could I do otherwise? 4914 How could it have been stolen?"
4914How could we ever get the cars under any ordinary shelter? 4914 How could you-- Jack Kimball?"
4914How did it happen?
4914How ever will I be able to explain?
4914How many minutes lift now?
4914How''d you make out in your exams?
4914How''s that?
4914Hurt yourself?
4914I am all in readiness-- but-- pardon-- zat Marie-- she haf left me-- in such hastiness-- I am all at what you call ze ocean-- how you express it?
4914I meant to say, have you any of those fish with you that we caught last time?
4914I wonder how the boys will take it?
4914I wonder if any of the girls found valuables in their costumes?
4914I wonder if you''ll tell your brother?
4914I wonder what he''ll think?
4914I wonder where he heard about my plan to take-- bank stock? 4914 I wonder where they are going?"
4914I wonder why Lem Gildy did that?
4914I''d like to know who had a better right to haul me out of the ditch?
4914I''ll take the money, and--"What will you tell the police?
4914I-- er-- I think-- would you mind very much if I did n''t tell you what I think of it?
4914In the new bank, I suppose?
4914In your pocket?
4914Is it about the bonds?
4914Is n''t Ida the bright- red, dashing sort? 4914 Is n''t it a beauty?"
4914Is n''t it awful?
4914Is n''t it close?
4914Is that all you want to remark?
4914Is that all? 4914 Is that it?"
4914Is that so? 4914 Is that so?
4914Is that so?
4914Is that so?
4914Is that the way you treat me, after having saved your life?
4914Is there a hydrant near your house?
4914Is this the one Ed Foster lost?
4914Is your car damaged much, Cora?
4914Is-- is there anything the matter?
4914Jack said that?
4914Just mask in order to be of some account? 4914 Lem-- do you mean to say Lem Gildy?"
4914Like it?
4914Look for Suthin''?
4914Masks?
4914May I come?
4914Me find a pocketbook?
4914Meaning some others won''t-- such as Sid, for example?
4914Miss Downs?
4914Miss Giles, it is due to you, more than to any, one, that this mystery is solved,he said:"Will you please accept the reward?"
4914Never Sleep members?
4914No?
4914No?
4914Not to help me out?
4914Now I wonder which road Jack and Walter took?
4914Now, Cora,he added mockingly,"when you start out to save lives, why do n''t you give a fellow the tip?
4914Now, will you take this money, and-- and call it square?
4914Of course we will, wo n''t we, Jack-- Walter?
4914Oh, Ed, are you hurt? 4914 Oh, Jack, are you sure that''s all there is to it?"
4914Oh, ca n''t some one stop it?
4914Oh, do you? 4914 Oh, is he-- is he badly hurt?"
4914Oh, is that all?
4914Oh, so that''s your opinion of us, is it?
4914Oh, so you wo n''t sit beside me?
4914Oh, were n''t you awfully frightened, Cora?
4914Oh, you have, eh?
4914Oh, you think so, do you?
4914Only if a pocketbook is lost, some one''s bound to find it, ai n''t they?
4914Out in the dark?
4914Paul Hastings found it?
4914Priscilla?
4914Radiator, eh?
4914Really, Ed?
4914Seen Ida lately?
4914Shall we send for a detective? 4914 Shall we sit here?"
4914Shop girls? 4914 Since when was that rule in effect?"
4914So that letter was from her, eh? 4914 So you are really going out for a spin?
4914So you brought Paul Hastings over?
4914Suppose the owner does n''t like it?
4914Suspecting it?
4914Take a machine?
4914The bank people did n''t say it had been turned in there, by any chance, did they?
4914The man we saw talking to Sid when he ran his auto into the blacksmith shop?
4914The money you were taking to the bank?
4914The ring with my initials in?
4914The-- the nun?
4914Then I ca n''t take out the machine to- night, mother dear?
4914Then suppose we retire?
4914Then why wo n''t he tell?
4914Waiting for some one?
4914Want a ride?
4914Was it really in the tool- box, Walter?
4914Was n''t Walter dressed up like Marc Anthony?
4914Was n''t he just splendid?
4914Was n''t it contemptible of him?
4914Was n''t that awful?
4914Was she here to- night?
4914Was that-- making-- love?
4914We?
4914Well, I do n''t remember a thing he said,confessed Elizabeth;"but Paul-- who could forget Paul?
4914Well, did you ever hear such a yarn?
4914Well, do n''t you think-- not to put too fine a point upon it-- that it looks suspicious?
4914Well, do you want to ride back with me?
4914Well, what are you going to do-- wait?
4914Well, what''s up now? 4914 Well, what?"
4914Well, you''re not going away mad, are you?
4914Well,remarked Ed, when Cora and Belle had about talked themselves out,"I suppose you motor girls call that quite a series of adventures?"
4914Well?
4914What I From the pretty runaway?
4914What can he think?
4914What can it mean-- to find it in Cora''s car?
4914What college is she going to?
4914What did he do with his other car-- the one that was broken in the collision?
4914What did he want?
4914What do you think of my car?
4914What does he do?
4914What for?
4914What have you to say against her character?
4914What is it?
4914What makes you dislike me so, Cora? 4914 What shall we do when they come in?"
4914What time is it now?
4914What would you think of having them all alike-- for us there?
4914What''s become of him?
4914What''s that?
4914What''s that?
4914What''s the matter, Ed?
4914What''s the matter? 4914 What''s the matter?"
4914What''s this, anyhow? 4914 What''s up?"
4914What? 4914 What?"
4914What?
4914What?
4914Whatever will the boys say?
4914When?
4914Where are the hose carts?
4914Where are you going?
4914Where are your sons?
4914Where is Mary?
4914Where is it now?
4914Where were the boys to meet us?
4914Where''s Jack?
4914Where''s Jack?
4914Where''s Walter going?
4914Where-- where did you get it?
4914Where?
4914Which way?
4914Who ever do you imagine she can be?
4914Who in the world would ever wear that?
4914Who is it to go to?
4914Who is that forward girl?
4914Who is urging him on? 4914 Who on earth is the girl in the black robe-- the nun?
4914Who told you?
4914Who won out?
4914Who would ever have thought of finding it in your toolbox, Cora?
4914Who''ll handle the nozzles?
4914Who''s he looking for?''
4914Who''s that?
4914Who?
4914Whose?
4914Why did n''t you let me take the wheel?
4914Why do n''t you join in with that milkmaid and Pocahontas? 4914 Why do n''t you take it to Newton''s?"
4914Why do n''t you want to stay? 4914 Why do you say that?"
4914Why not ask Jack?
4914Why so?
4914Why the wherefore?
4914Why, she gave you permission, did n''t she?
4914Why? 4914 Why?"
4914Why?
4914Will you race, Sidney?
4914Will you-- really?
4914Will you-- will you accept this for what you have done for me-- for all of us?
4914With me?
4914Wo n''t it be splendid? 4914 Wo n''t you hate to leave her when you make the run across country?"
4914Wo n''t you, let me take the wheel?
4914Would n''t it be nicer to have an out- door play?
4914Would you know me?
4914Would you like to see Walter?
4914Would you?
4914Yes, and is n''t it a shame mother wo n''t let you go out in it to- night?
4914Yes,added Jack,"and speaking of hundred dollar bills, what do you suppose that bank teller did?
4914Yes?
4914Yet who in the world would do it? 4914 You cut''em?"
4914You did?
4914You do n''t mean to say you found it?
4914You do n''t mean to tell me that''s an engagement Ting?
4914You mean confess?
4914You must?
4914You put it in Walter Pennington''s pocket?
4914You say you are acquainted with Walter Pennington?
4914You see, zat naughty Marie, leaving me so--"Did you say some of her relatives were ill?
4914You wo n''t mind me driving as far as the bank building, will you?
4914You''ll pay me, wo n''t you?
4914And I also wonder who that pretty girl was?"
4914And are you going to put that machine in the shed before dark, Jack?"
4914And did that that ring actually have my initials in?"
4914And so the nun went off with her?"
4914And their mother, if one may be permitted to ask?"
4914And was n''t there some mystery connected with it?"
4914And, above all, what would people think of Cora Kimball riding with Sidney Wilcox?
4914Are n''t they splendid?
4914Are n''t you in a hurry to get back into yourself and be just Ed Foster?"
4914Are there any men around to help with the hose?
4914Are you going to make this public?"
4914As for the money--?"
4914At what place in New City do you wish to go?"
4914Auto- mobiles?
4914Because I said I was busy?
4914Been clamming?"
4914Bess is too much adiposed, and Belle--""Well?"
4914But I wonder why we have n''t had some inquiries from Ida before this?"
4914But Jack, what will mother say-- you becoming engaged--""Who said I was engaged?"
4914But ca n''t the detectives find out who stole the money and hid the pocketbook there?"
4914But do n''t you think it-- er-- rather risky to take up with-- shop girls?"
4914But has anything happened?"
4914But how on earth did it get into your pocket, Paul?"
4914But suppose the machine was brought to too sudden a stop in the mud?
4914But the package-- what does, it contain?"
4914But were you successful?"
4914But what does Mary say?"
4914But what good be they without hose?"
4914But what happened that you could n''t stop before?"
4914CHAPTER IX FINDING THE WALLET"No luck, eh?"
4914Ca n''t you guess-- after what we heard?"
4914Can I do anything for you here?"
4914Did Sid Wilcox know anything about the robbery?
4914Did he know that she would not?
4914Did he want to injure Jack, as well as make trouble for Paul?
4914Did n''t he have nice teeth?"
4914Did n''t you really lose it?"
4914Did n''t you?"
4914Did you say I was to call at the Robinsons''at nine?"
4914Did you take out the plug, Jack?"
4914Did you think you could deceive me?"
4914Did you''phone to the bank in New City?"
4914Do n''t you remember the woman who always scolded us for everything?
4914Do they really think they''re on the right track?"
4914Do you ever expect to get that stuff off your face in time to go back to college?"
4914Do you happen to know what kind?"
4914Do you like it very much, Cora?"
4914Do you think that you now have the Chelton folks to rights?"
4914For instance, who is Ida-- Ida Giles?
4914Had he suddenly gone mad?
4914Hastings was splendid, was n''t he?
4914His tone was so peculiar that Jack asked quickly:"What do you mean, Lem?"
4914How about the twins?"
4914How are you, Sid?"
4914How could you-- Bess?
4914How did Sid know about Ed''s plan to take stock in the new bank?
4914How did it happen?"
4914I suppose she told you about the ride when she and Paul outdid Sidney Wilcox?"
4914I wonder what she finds interesting in that-- that lazy chap?"
4914I wonder where he gets all his money?"
4914I''ve had a long walk this mornin'', and--""Are you working in the blacksmith shop?"
4914If she should shout, who would hear her above the noise of the car?
4914In fact, how could she help herself?
4914Is n''t Paul splendid as Marc Anthony?
4914Is n''t it a shame?
4914Is n''t it perfectly splendid to have a regular set of cars?"
4914Is n''t ours a beauty?"
4914Is n''t that a pretty name?"
4914Is n''t that good?"
4914Is n''t that just too sweet of her?"
4914Is n''t that thunder?"
4914Is she hurt, Walt?"
4914It''s right near an old stump, do n''t you remember?"
4914Just when I''m having a fine time?"
4914Lose part of your autymobil?"
4914Oh, is n''t it a pity that a motor is n''t like a horse?
4914Or had he been only fooling her?
4914Or, have you had enough running for this evening?"
4914Priscilla was there, in her collar and cap, but where was John Alden?
4914Should she deliberately place herself in the position of another entanglement?
4914Should she shout for help, no matter what happened?
4914Should she tell all the boys?
4914Some day you may want another machine-- or a kiss--""Children, children,"called Mrs. Kimball,"are you coming to dinner?
4914Somebody turned turtle?"
4914Suppose I get in and take a turn around the park with you?
4914Suppose it should be stolen?
4914Suppose we all get things alike?
4914Suppose we go around this way?
4914Suppose we plan a masked mythology fete?
4914Suppose we take a girl to drive our car, Walter?"
4914THE MOTOR GIRLS by Margaret Penrose CHAPTER I CORA AND HER CAR"Now you''ve got it, what are you going to do with it?"
4914Take one of these brutes out of here, will you?
4914That''s where you''re headed for, I take it?"
4914The box is n''t kept locked, is it?"
4914Then Adonis-- wasn''t he splendid?
4914Then Cora asked:"Who does he say took it?"
4914Then you do n''t know?"
4914Then you know me-- Ed?"
4914There was still that unanswered question:"Who took the money from the wallet?"
4914Want to make a fellow jealous?"
4914Was it Jack''s remark about carrying so much money, unprotected, along the highway that caused it?
4914Was n''t she, boys?"
4914Was n''t that plucky of her?"
4914What are you doing here?"
4914What are you laughing at?
4914What could he mean by that?
4914What do you mean by your insinuations?"
4914What else can I say?"
4914What ever would Paul Hastings think of her?
4914What had Cora done?
4914What kind was it, and what was in it?"
4914What made you think that?"
4914What reason would she have for leaving town so- well, mysteriously, to put it mildly?"
4914What was his object?
4914What we want is an intimation that makes good, eh, Ed?"
4914What would Walter Pennington say?
4914What''s that?"
4914What''s the matter?"
4914When do you go over to the bank, to stand and deliver your good cash, bonds and securities for their stock?"
4914When have you heard from your friend, Miss Downs?"
4914Where in the world did you come from?"
4914Where is he?
4914Who could have done it?
4914Who could it have been who tried to injure her in this way by throwing suspicion on her, and what could have been their motive?
4914Who ever heard of any one being robbed on the road from Chelton to New City?
4914Who gave it to you?"
4914Who''s that?"
4914Who?"
4914Whoever would have thought it?
4914Whom do you think he was?"
4914Whom had she impersonated?
4914Whose are they?
4914Why do you go off riding with a common mechanic?"
4914Why had he not chosen Cleopatra?
4914Why not give it back to Sid?"
4914Why not?
4914Why should he want to run a car across country?"
4914Will you come, Walter?"
4914Will you give me a tow, Cora?"
4914Will you take one of our porters or a watchman with you?"
4914Wo n''t you girls come with me?"
4914Would the dainty little Bo- peep, who looked like a bisque doll, ever find her straying sheep?
4914Would you like to turn in the order?"
4914You and me''s pals, ai n''t we?"
4914You do n''t call that teasing, do you?
4914You know-- the girl who was with Sid?
4914You remember the pretty twins, I''ve no doubt?"
4914You''ve heard of him-- Perry Robinson, the railroad king?"
4914exclaimed Lem Gildy that night as one of the hastily printed bills came into his possession,"so this is the wallet they are lookin''for, eh?
17342A French-- a half French-- girl make tea?
17342Ah, you sit by the chauffeur, do you?
17342All''s forgotten and forgiven, then?
17342Am I ungrateful, then?
17342And I''d better be off-- unless you have further instructions?
17342And is it that you love the automobilism, mademoiselle?
17342And lately?
17342And that''s the secret of life, is n''t it? 17342 And the''motor maid''business?
17342And what thinks monsieur?
17342And what''s the other half, if I may ask?
17342And when you ca n''t help it?
17342And wo n''t they like seeing it?
17342And you think you will?
17342Another scalp-- though a humble one?
17342Another sort of servant, I suppose?
17342Any jewels or things of that sort?
17342Anything else interesting ever been found here?
17342Are n''t there some ruins here-- something middle- aged?
17342Are n''t you going now?
17342Are n''t you going to have a proper lunch?
17342Are n''t you rather abrupt in your questions? 17342 Are there lower depths?"
17342Are they going to let you pass Fréjus without pausing for a single look?
17342Are they the sort of things you ought to say you''ve seen?
17342Are you a relative of the Princess?
17342Are you all right?
17342Are you frightened?
17342Are you going out?
17342Are you really in earnest, or are you joking?
17342Are you your sister''s keeper?
17342As her maid?
17342Ask her to give you her favourite recipe for soup?
17342Beautiful lady-- battlement garden? 17342 Before I know whether you have any faults?"
17342But I suppose I do look an old sea- dog-- what? 17342 But I thought-- I thought--""What?"
17342But did n''t I tell you that you''d brought me something better than luck already?
17342But have you no more suitable clothes? 17342 But how are we to get up?"
17342But if he should find out that we''re only lady''s- maid and chauffeur?
17342But is Sir Samuel like that?
17342But the marquise?
17342But who''d want me for a friend? 17342 But why?
17342But--"Has she_ gone_?
17342By Jove, I ought n''t to have let that out, ought I?
17342Ca n''t you guess?
17342Ca n''t you put in some false teeth?
17342Can you come back in a little less than an hour, and look for me in the woods, somewhere just out of sight of the hotel?
17342Cold, is n''t it? 17342 Could n''t Beau help you?"
17342Could not madame make it a little cheaper?
17342Cross? 17342 Dear me, is there any difference?"
17342Did I call you''Jack''? 17342 Did he see you?"
17342Did you speak?
17342Did you treat her like a cook, too?
17342Do cats plot? 17342 Do n''t you believe in second times?
17342Do n''t you remember about her--''King Dagobert''s daughter, ill- fated and fair to look upon?'' 17342 Do n''t you think you might adopt me, once for all, in that relationship?
17342Do n''t you want to go and have a look at the Cathedral? 17342 Do n''t you?
17342Do they know you are here?
17342Do you expect to be?
17342Do you hear?
17342Do you know, I do n''t think this trip''s going to be so bad?
17342Do you mean that? 17342 Do you remember the picnic preparations we brought from Nîmes?
17342Do you suppose they know anything about the road and its history?
17342Do you think it would matter to him_ who_ we were-- a great genius like that? 17342 Do you think she''d have me?"
17342Do you think so? 17342 Do you think we''re laughing at the same thing?"
17342Do you think you will while you''re with Lady Turnour?
17342Do you want to go?
17342Do-- do you think you''d_ better_?
17342Do? 17342 Does he think I''m going to travel on a day like this with all the wind on the Riviera blowing my head off?"
17342Does she speak English?
17342Does that belong to the hotel?
17342Does that mean that you''ve lost them?
17342Does that mean that_ you''re_ tired of answering questions? 17342 Even chauffeurs?"
17342For that matter, then, why do you think I''m an odd lady''s- maid?
17342Getting? 17342 Good gracious, I hope you''ve never met them?"
17342Had we better turn after all?
17342Have I done anything to make you cross?
17342Have I? 17342 Have you a small single room disengaged?"
17342Have you and she been getting engaged to each other behind our backs?
17342Have you been with them long?
17342Have you got any dancing slippers?
17342Have you seen Sir Samuel yet?
17342Hidden treasure?
17342His surname?
17342How came there to be a carriage here?
17342How can you tell I''m not one?
17342How dare you disobey me?
17342How does it depend on myself?
17342How should they know? 17342 Hullo, what''s this bumping?
17342I have n''t made a mistake, have I?
17342I hope she did n''t row you any more afterward?
17342I hope the selfish one was n''t fear of being bored?
17342I hope you are n''t engaged for this next waltz?
17342I only wanted to know if you''d like to see the gardens? 17342 I suppose you did n''t notice me doin''the first dance with her?
17342I suppose you did n''t take her for a lady, did you?
17342I thought it was the beautiful lady who was with you the first time you saw the battlement garden at Beaucaire, who ruined your life?
17342I wish I were paying my own way, too; but I could n''t do it on fifty francs a month, could I?
17342I wonder if I ought to trust Elise with my bag?
17342I wonder if she is thinking about you to- night?
17342I wonder what the stepson is like?
17342I, vain? 17342 If he does, though, what shall you do?"
17342If you did n''t kiss him?
17342If you do n''t think the Turnours would be angry?
17342If you had been, you jolly well would n''t have taken the engagement-- what?
17342If you''re not rich, and are n''t going to relatives, why not take an engagement with me? 17342 If your ladyship pleases, what am I to do with mine?"
17342In the car?
17342Is he so very rich?
17342Is he such a monster?
17342Is he the sort of man who would do such a thing-- put detectives on a girl who''s run away from home to get rid of his attentions?
17342Is he very rich?
17342Is it a good omen or an evil one for our future?
17342Is it conventionality or economy that gives you pause?
17342Is it?
17342Is n''t it for Lady Turnour to say?
17342Is n''t it? 17342 Is n''t mademoiselle going with you?"
17342Is n''t that my affair-- and his?
17342Is that your compensation for being a slave to such a woman? 17342 Is_ this_ where you expect me to sleep, Samuel?
17342It is for luck, is n''t it?
17342It would be a shame to spoil the memory of a perfect morning, would n''t it, so do n''t you think you might accept my humble invitation?
17342It''s all right, then? 17342 Jack Dane''s found Beau?
17342Kind? 17342 Madame departs to- day in her automobile?
17342Mademoiselle touched the Hand of Fatima, of course?
17342May I have my dinner with you?
17342Meaning Monsieur Charretier? 17342 Miss d''Angely--""Oh, that''s the lady''s name, is it?
17342My darling, what can_ I_ do?
17342Not Mistral?
17342Not even by the females of their kind? 17342 Not the right of a brother?"
17342Now are you better, madam?
17342Now, are you ready?
17342O- oh, you_ ca n''t_ mean, truly and really, that you''re in love with Me, can you?
17342Oh, is it bleeding?
17342Oh, my romance of the battlement garden? 17342 Oh, what did she do to you?"
17342Oh, what do you call a''good home,''and''every comfort''? 17342 Oh, why did I leave my peaceful home?"
17342Oh,_ what?_The question asked itself.
17342Our steps suit, do n''t they?
17342Perhaps I''d better have dinner in my own room, so as to guard it more carefully?
17342Perhaps we may get some fun out of it?
17342Pretty gorgeous, are n''t you?
17342Rich, too?
17342Running away from the Man?
17342Shall I inquire about rooms?
17342She must give me a dance-- what?
17342She said--"What could be expected of a girl that dyed her hair yellow and her eyelashes black?
17342She seems to understand something of the charm of Provence, which makes our country different from any other in the world, does she not?
17342She?
17342Sir Samuel may n''t ask me; and you would n''t have me crawl to him?
17342So you are my brother, are you?
17342So you''ve taken to chauffeuring as a last resort-- what?
17342Some one you like better than Monsieur Charretier?
17342Sometimes? 17342 Surely not my Miss Paget?"
17342Surely you must remember?
17342Tell me, what''s the mystery? 17342 The responsibility of what?"
17342The situation?
17342Then I do n''t get my promised five shillings?
17342Then do n''t you want to be my brother any more?
17342They? 17342 This_ is_ the hotel where the Princess is staying, is n''t it?"
17342To be married, I suppose you mean?
17342Was it a long time?
17342Was she pretty?
17342Was_ she_ with you when you were here before?
17342We can tell people we''ve been over the whole of the Via Aurelia, ca n''t we? 17342 Well?"
17342What are you doing?
17342What are you going to do to him?
17342What are you going to do?
17342What are you laughing at?
17342What did you do?
17342What do you bet?
17342What do you know about her?
17342What do you know about lion- tamers and captains on ocean liners?
17342What else did she say?
17342What is it?
17342What is the favour?
17342What is to become of me?
17342What is your name?
17342What is your wish, my dear?
17342What kind friend?
17342What on earth is he going to say?
17342What place is this?
17342What references have you got from your last situation?
17342What right have you to set yourself up as Elise''s champion, anyway?
17342What theatre were you at before you took to lady''s maidin''?
17342What was the beast threatening you with?
17342What young lady have we here?
17342What''ll you give to know what the duchess told me about you?
17342What''s her name?
17342What''s the matter?
17342What''s the price of that?
17342What, do n''t you believe I''ve told you the truth?
17342What-- haven''t you forgotten''Her?''
17342What-- not with St. Remy and Les Baux?
17342What-- what?
17342What?
17342What_ is_ better than luck?
17342What_ were_ you before my lady took you on?... 17342 Where do you want to lay them?"
17342Where would you like to go, if you could choose-- since you ca n''t go to your relations?
17342Who cares, now? 17342 Who is that man?"
17342Who told you that?
17342Who wants you to do anything else? 17342 Who''s superstitious now?"
17342Who?
17342Whose car is it, anyway?
17342Whose choice?
17342Why did n''t you tell me you knew him already?
17342Why do n''t you say''sir''when you speak to me? 17342 Why do n''t you thank me?"
17342Why do they go about in motors then,I wondered,"if they do n''t take interest in things they pass?"
17342Why do you ask?
17342Why do you suddenly look like that?
17342Why have you changed?
17342Why not, I should like to know? 17342 Why not?"
17342Why should n''t you dare?
17342Why should you waste your time flirting with a wretched chauffeur?
17342Why the Etang de Berre?
17342Why? 17342 Why?"
17342Why?
17342Worth somethin''--what?
17342Would n''t it have been safer if you''d had your maid in the compartment with you----"My maid? 17342 Yes, but----"We were staring into each other''s eyes, and-- could I believe my sense of touch, or was it mercifully blunted?
17342Yes, why? 17342 Yet you bolted from a good home, where you had every comfort, rather than be pestered to marry him?"
17342You accepted?
17342You are being very kind to me,I said,"Mr. Bane or Dane; so do you mind telling me which it is?"
17342You are, are n''t you?
17342You believe that explains it? 17342 You do n''t mean to do_ me_ any harm, do you?"
17342You do n''t mean to say the Turnours have been out, and waiting?
17342You have n''t an idea whether he''s been actually tracking you?
17342You mean-- I''m to go alone?
17342You mean-- you will go?
17342You seem to speak English very well for a French woman?
17342You think we may get stuck?
17342You thought that the''epithet''was going to be invidious, did you?
17342You''ve just bought this-- to give to me?
17342You''ve seen it all before?
17342You_ are_ an admiral, are n''t you?
17342You_ can_ dance a little, ca n''t you?
17342Your ladyship does n''t think a load of five might disturb the balance of the boat?
17342Your relations there do n''t go out much?
17342_ Are_ you going to take me about?
17342_ Can_ you stop and let us get out?
17342_ Is_ my nose lilac after all?
17342_ N''est pas?_and he turned to me for confirmation.
17342_ Who_ was''right''?
17342( Hang it, what shall I say to her next?)
17342Am I to understand that we''ve quarrelled?"
17342And anyway, how could we prove she meant her sons to rob me, since they had n''t begun the act, and so could n''t be caught in it?"
17342And do you think I would clear out, and leave him to worry you?"
17342And had she no friends here?"
17342And the other part?"
17342And then I added anxiously:"Have any relatives of the Princess come?"
17342And who was Bertie, anyhow?
17342And you?"
17342Anything wrong with the car?"
17342Are n''t you tired now, and would n''t you like me to make you a little more comfortable?"
17342Are there no decent hotels to get at?"
17342Are you afraid to be left here alone?"
17342Are you sorry you''ve been kind to me?
17342Are you strong enough to let me get you up into the light and air?"
17342Are you surprised?
17342Are you?"
17342Bertie, it seemed--(or was it Richelieu?)
17342But I suppose you''re glad?"
17342But are n''t there hotels in the gorge of the Tarn?"
17342But do women ever tell the whole truth to men-- even to their brothers?
17342But how could I date a telegram from Genoa?"
17342But how to get you to England?"
17342But how was I to get out of this dark hole?
17342But maybe you think you wo n''t have difficulty in finding a place that pays you better-- what?"
17342But tell me this: even if you have no curiosity, because you hope you can manage to endure me,_ do_ you think I look like an''Elise''?"
17342But the more I look at my''motor maid,''the more I feel I should like to keep her-- in my sketch- book-- if you''re willing I should have her?"
17342But what about you?"
17342But why do you think I''m an odd sort of chauffeur?"
17342But would he?
17342But you''re not French, are you?"
17342But you''re sure you''re all right now?"
17342But--""Well?"
17342CHAPTER IX"I suppose we''ll meet by- and- by at dinner?"
17342Ca n''t you speak to me?"
17342Ca n''t you understand that?"
17342Can you dress hair?
17342Can you make a blouse?"
17342Clever, are n''t I?"
17342Could you know a''Bertie''?"
17342D''ye see that stout lady we''re just passin''?--the one in the red wig and yellow frock covered with paste or diamonds?"
17342Did n''t you see, or guess, that I was talking about an Ideal whom I had conjured into being, as a desirable companion in that garden?
17342Did the guide think she could get it-- and have it sent out to her in the car, as nothing would induce her to go inside that little den?
17342Did they come?"
17342Did they discharge you?"
17342Do n''t you know that you make no more than a featherweight of difference to the car?"
17342Do you consider yourself above it?"
17342Do you know anything about the Roquemartines?"
17342Do you know, I believe you and I would get on very well together if our acquaintance was going to be continued?
17342Do you mean it was because of_ her_ you took to what you call''shuvving''?"
17342Do you mind much?
17342Do you mind much?"
17342Do you speak it?"
17342Do you think I was cross to you?"
17342Do you think it odd that a chauffeur should be by way of being a gentleman?
17342Do you want to go to sleep?"
17342Do you weaken on the Gorges of the Tarn now I''ve told you that?"
17342Do you wonder?
17342Even then, though her ladyship snapped at me,"What_ has_ come over you, Elise?
17342Had n''t he, I asked myself, loved his Emily("Emmie, pet,"as I''ve heard him call her) as long and faithfully as Petrarch loved his Laura?
17342Had she changed her mind?
17342Had the Princess taken something for you in the hotel?"
17342Had we seen it yet?
17342Has Lady T. been askin''for it?"
17342Have you any matches?"
17342Have you seen my Beau anywhere?"
17342He did n''t tell me she was dead, poor woman, but-- there are some things one knows by instinct, by intuition, are n''t there?
17342He told me--""About the Princess?"
17342Hope you never came across the combination?"
17342How dare you?"
17342How well I remembered asking the chauffeur,"_ Could_ you know a Bertie?"
17342I asked--"the quaint creature, her ladyship?"
17342I hate deserting the car, but after all, this_ is_ an expedition of pleasure, and if her ladyship has a preference, why should n''t it be gratified?"
17342I have n''t put my foot into it?"
17342I hope you''re going on to Italy?"
17342I hope your ladyship does n''t object to my earning something extra now and then, so long as it does n''t interfere with work?"
17342I should never have felt_ quite_ the same to him again, I think, if he had stared and asked"What dream picture?"
17342I suppose that end will be in Paris?"
17342I suppose we would use the grave one if the creature had n''t looked alive?
17342I suppose you could n''t have nervous prostration of the hair?
17342I suppose you have n''t changed your mind about your relations in Paris?
17342I think I shall bring my grub out of doors, and-- But is anything the matter?"
17342I warned you the other night, did n''t I?
17342I worked all the morning at ensmalling the gown( if one can enlarge, why ca n''t one ensmall?)
17342If he would do such things as these for an acquaintance, at best a"pal,"what would he not do for a woman beloved?
17342Is it to go south or north?
17342It does not too much annoy you?"
17342It was hard for me, but-- what would you?
17342Lady Turnour behaved like a cad, as usual, but what can you expect?
17342Let me see if I can guess what you ought to be?
17342No?
17342Now, I expect you begin to smell a rat-- what?"
17342Now, do n''t you call that''kind''?"
17342Of course, that sounds very vain; but why should n''t one admire one''s own things, if one has things worth admiring?
17342On the threshold I confidently expected her grateful ladyship to say:"What_ are_ you doing with that wood, Dane?"
17342Or is a second time always second best?"
17342Or is it only an empty little compliment?"
17342Or would that be blackmail?)
17342Ought I to scream, and alarm the household, since I knew not where to go and call the chauffeur?
17342Paris?"
17342Probably goin''to ask the shuvver to dispose of it for you-- what?
17342She( my stable- companion, shall I call her?)
17342The Duchesse de Melun would say to the Marquise de Roquemartine:"Who is that young person?
17342The fair- haired young man let him finish in peace, and then said, slowly,"Is n''t your name Dane?"
17342The scenery, is it not?"
17342Then the pleasant voice I had heard near the lift spoke behind me:"Wo n''t you have your coffee with me in the garden?"
17342There was no more to be said, so I cast down the offending features( are one''s lashes one''s features?)
17342Was Dane sure we should find anything decent to eat there?
17342Was he thinking of the companion who perhaps had sat beside him before?
17342Was she afraid?
17342We did n''t see those flowers with our bodies''eyes, but what of that?
17342What a pity that the chauffeur and I were not a married couple,_ n''est pas?_ That would make everything quite simple.
17342What about a picnic_ à deux_ in the glass cage, with electric illuminations?
17342What about that kind friend of yours in England?"
17342What about your room?
17342What are you doing in your hat, done up in a thick veil, too, at this time of night, as if you were afraid of being recognized?"
17342What can you expect of Corn Plasters?"
17342What do you say to lunch instead?"
17342What do you think of that?"
17342What do you think of the plan?"
17342What do you think?"
17342What else did you dream?"
17342What else does the old boy say, then?"
17342What have you done to your hand?"
17342What if he had known that I always call him"Jack"to myself?
17342What of Lys d''Angely with an English chauffeur in her pocket?
17342What right had I, in this sweet place divinely fit to be a rest- cure for goddesses tired of the social diversions of Olympus?
17342What was I, that I could defend her, left there as helpless as she, while her great heart throbbed under me?
17342What would Lady Kilmarny have said if she had heard my deliberate encouragement of the chauffeur, and his reckless response?
17342What would Madame de Sévigné, or Lady Mary Wortley Montagu, or George Sand have said if a blue car like ours had suddenly flashed into their vision?
17342What would my father say if he could see his daughter arriving thus at a house which would have been too much honoured by a visit from him?
17342What would they do?
17342What would they say?
17342When did you have this inspiration?"
17342When the star heard of it, he said:"How_ should_ we have played to- night if you''d been dead-- without an understudy, too?"
17342Where was I to dine?
17342Who could lunch on a dull roadside like this?
17342Who knows?
17342Why ca n''t everybody be English?
17342Why else had the marriage of Madame la Marquise, Miss Daisy''s elder sister, made itself?
17342Why not, when-- on my part, at least-- there''s nothing to conceal, and we''re bound to be companions of the Road for weal or woe?
17342Why should n''t a chauffeur be picked out from among his fellows to do credit to a fine, sixty- horse- power blue motor- car?
17342Why, what can you_ do_?
17342Will you come with me?"
17342Will you get in?"
17342With you there?
17342Would it be called a''perquisite''?"
17342Would n''t you have liked to come here in the days when it was one of the greatest shows in all France?"
17342Would the duchess go?
17342Would you care to do a little sight- seeing in Clermont- Ferrand, if your shopping does n''t take us too long?"
17342Would you like to have a look at your quarters now, or are you too hungry to care?"
17342Would you like to see your room, mademoiselle?
17342Yet,_ was_ there nothing I could give her?
17342You are very young, and are here all alone, and so-- I thought perhaps you would n''t mind my speaking to you?"
17342You can wear it at the ball to- night, but you''d better not tell anyone who gave it to you-- what?
17342You did n''t think it too clumsy?"
17342You do n''t believe I do, do you?"
17342You do n''t know his history-- what?
17342You do n''t think I''ve done wrong?"
17342You mean because I was n''t always''what I seem,''and that kind of_ Family Herald_ thing?
17342You see, though there are plenty of interesting places on the way mapped out-- you''ve been to Tours, you say--""What of that?"
17342You think I like queer spots-- and things?"
17342You''ll do me, wo n''t you?"
17342You''ve never taken a meal in the couriers''room of an hotel?"
17342_ Are_ you able to bear it?"
17342_"Would_ you do that?"
17342are you an escaping nun?"
14740''Curse you,''my dear fellow? 14740 ''What''s become of all the gold that used to hang, and brush their shoulders?''
14740''Where are all the dear, dead women?''
14740A cigar, then?
14740A difference in politics or disposition?
14740Ah, Signor, how can I tell you? 14740 Ah, but his persuasion?
14740Am I to take that as praise?
14740An earthquake, then?
14740And for wine, Monsieur?
14740And he pretends to be guiding you to the house of the priest now?
14740And no boy?
14740And you?
14740And your mule?
14740Any news?
14740Anything I can manage, Joseph?
14740Are we also to know each other''s names?
14740Are we far from the hotel?
14740Are we to part company?
14740Are you hurt?
14740Are you ill? 14740 Are you jealous?"
14740Are you sure?
14740Are you very cold?
14740As-- better than I can?
14740At what time shall we dine?
14740Besides, I''m rather keen to see the chamois, are n''t you? 14740 Boy, is that you?"
14740But are you?
14740But first-- what disillusioned you?
14740But what about my memory?
14740But what is there that one misses? 14740 But why should you be imposed upon by them, if they do n''t amuse you?"
14740But you will come with Lord Lane, and stay at my villa, which I have taken at Aix-- yes, if only for a few days? 14740 Ca n''t you imagine the programme if we had gone to an inn?"
14740Can it be that a few hours ago the mere exertion of walking made us so hot that we had to mop our foreheads, and fan ourselves with our hats?
14740Can we have supper and accommodation for the night at your house?
14740Christian name or''Pagan''name?
14740Could n''t you get absolution for breaking a promise?
14740Could we do the St. Bernard at night?
14740Courage?
14740Did Monsieur leave here by rail?
14740Did Mr. Winston-- er-- say anything about my driving?
14740Did any of the hotel people tell you?
14740Did he leave no message?
14740Did the Contessa give you a good dinner?
14740Did you never meet any American boys, till you met me?
14740Did you say you were miserable last night?
14740Did you try to pour oil on the troubled waters?
14740Did you? 14740 Do n''t they?
14740Do n''t you think I knew you''d forgotten? 14740 Do they repent having brought me along, and want to get rid of me?"
14740Do you hate me?
14740Do you know what happened this morning-- or rather last night?
14740Do you mean that he will refuse to fight, after insulting me?
14740Do you mean that?
14740Do you mean you ca n''t, or wo n''t?
14740Do you mind my saying what I think of Lady Blantock and her daughter?
14740Do you play tennis?
14740Do you remember why I wanted to come over the Tête Noire?
14740Do you travel with these things? 14740 Even saving a pretty woman''s soul?
14740For goodness''sake, why?
14740Go on where?
14740Good enough to be introduced to your sister?
14740Had you noticed, Monsieur, that after all we never passed the party with the donkeys?
14740Hang it all, do you think I''m the kind of man to want a woman for her money?
14740Has she money?
14740Have I the pleasure of meeting the inventor of the new air- ship which is so much talked about?
14740Have you called a doctor for her?
14740Have you forgotten what I told you about the Italian Countess, Molly?
14740He will leave Aix altogether, you say?
14740Honour bright? 14740 Hoo- a- long, hoo- a- long, walla- ha?"
14740How are you? 14740 How can you tell that?"
14740How could I know? 14740 How could she be sure of that?"
14740How could you go off alone like this with a stranger, perhaps a ruffian( he looks it), without leaving any word for me? 14740 How do you like it?"
14740How do you make that out?
14740How do you mean?
14740How long is it since they went out?
14740How much did you give them, young Santa Claus?
14740How old is he?
14740How was the selection made?
14740How would you like to get out and walk here, like pilgrims of old?
14740Hungry, Joseph?
14740I hope that you''re not afraid I shall run you into a ditch?
14740I must put up with an omelette, then, I suppose I can have that?
14740I shall he delighted to take the second opportunity of meeting Miss Mercédès-- by the way, what_ is_ her other name? 14740 I suppose even you will want to give half an hour to the cathedral which I love best in France?"
14740I suppose he would have to be a good Catholic?
14740I suppose we might as well let this pass for an announcement?
14740I suppose we shall meet for dinner about eight, wo n''t we, no matter what we may all choose to do meanwhile?
14740I suppose, however, you are anxious to fight?
14740I wonder how you would look when you cried, Contessa?
14740I wonder if it would to mine?
14740I wonder if it''s the same?
14740I wonder if that_ would_ have done me good?
14740I wonder where you were brought up?
14740I wonder whether we''ll both come into the next story?
14740I''m tired, are n''t you?
14740If I take your ring, will you appear if I rub it?
14740If he had n''t, would the Princess have appeared-- for me? 14740 If that did n''t smooth matters, what could?"
14740If there''s a heaven, can there be anything in it better than this, Little Pal?
14740If you''re too tired to go down, sha n''t I have my dinner with you? 14740 In other words, I suppose you think me a typical Yankee boy?
14740In the country near by, then?
14740Indeed?
14740Innocentina''s?
14740Is he coming?
14740Is he good- looking?
14740Is it allowed?
14740Is n''t it hateful?
14740Is n''t that rather a mad idea? 14740 Is she like you?"
14740Is this you, or your astral body?
14740Is your sister plucky?
14740Is_ that_ what you wanted?
14740It ca n''t add more than a dozen grey hairs, and what are they among so many?
14740It live in high up places, where it was_ difficile_ to catch, for one shall have to walk over rocks, which do not-- what you say? 14740 It may n''t answer, but will you give me_ carte blanche_ to try?
14740It would be a mistake to leave here in the heat of the day, do n''t you think so?
14740Joseph, where is the railway station?
14740Just now-- under this tree?
14740Meet any chamois?
14740Might a humble mortal ask,''Why Aosta?''
14740Monsieur desires dinner for one?
14740Monsieur is not joking? 14740 Monsieur,"began Joseph,"have you in English a way of expressing in one word what a man feels when he is both shocked and astonished?"
14740Nice night, is n''t it?
14740Now, is n''t it funny, I feel exactly the opposite? 14740 Now, what is this chap''s game?"
14740Oh, Lord Lane, have you forgotten that this is where you''re to begin driving? 14740 Oh, Man, do you really care-- like that?
14740Oh, Man, do you really mean that?
14740Oh, do you really think I was plucky?
14740Oh, has he been called away by her?
14740Oh, the Countess with whom Lord Lane used to flirt at Davos before he met Miss Blantock? 14740 Oh, will you?
14740Oh, you''ll go on with the Contessa? 14740 On the way south, towards the Riviera, is it not?
14740Plans? 14740 Pretty, is n''t it?"
14740Proceed where?
14740Shake hands, will you?
14740Shall we stop and see that piteous dark packet lying lonely on the snow?
14740Shall we throw ourselves on one another''s bosom, and kiss each other on both cheeks, German fashion, to show our good will towards all mankind? 14740 Shall you drown your sorrows in roulette?"
14740Shall you take your wedding trip in a balloon?
14740She is going to Chamounix?
14740She is ill, is n''t she?
14740Since when?
14740So an American did go over one of the passes? 14740 Suppose the two galleries do n''t meet end to end?"
14740Sure you did n''t bore each other?
14740Sure you wo n''t regret it?
14740Surely you would wish to meet her there?
14740That sounds as if you were a hundred, instead of-- nineteen, is it not?
14740That would spoil the charm: for there is a charm, is n''t there? 14740 The Contessa?"
14740The descendants of the original family have restored it, and live there, do n''t they?
14740The past? 14740 Then will you wear my coat?"
14740Then, if we should happen to be belated, we might have an adventure?
14740They are coming to join you?
14740They were going in our direction, then?
14740Think? 14740 This is the room, is it not, where Napoleon had his_ déjeuner_?"
14740Though you are n''t in love with her?
14740To remember you by? 14740 To which shall we go?"
14740Tutor, Monsieur? 14740 Twins?"
14740Used he?
14740Very far away?
14740We came into the mist and snow just below the Col."Your friend is done up, is n''t he?
14740We? 14740 We?
14740Well,said I, as we got upon our way,"I trust you had an agreeable spell of rest?
14740Well-- I''m not so_ very_ cold, are you? 14740 Were the boy and the donkey- woman alone?
14740What I see in her?
14740What did he say?
14740What did he say?
14740What did she say?
14740What do they do to you if you_ do_ go?
14740What do you know about her eyes?
14740What do you know about that?
14740What do you take me for?
14740What does one do for a man who has saved one''s life?
14740What if I should fall in love with her?
14740What is it, Boy? 14740 What is that?"
14740What is the Cantine de Proz?
14740What is the matter?
14740What is the nearest place in Italy where Lord Lane could get a donkey?
14740What of that, since he will fight?
14740What on earth are you laughing at, man?
14740What sort of man was he?
14740What time did you fix for starting? 14740 What would be your definition of the state, precisely?"
14740What''s the matter?
14740What''s the matter?
14740What''s up?
14740What''s up?
14740What, make a discord in the music of your duet?
14740What, then?
14740What, to meet that missing Boy of yours?
14740What, you too started from Lucerne?
14740What, your nice Joseph and his Finois?
14740What-- he will go away?
14740What-- they have started?
14740What?
14740What_ do_ you mean?
14740When?
14740Where are Fanny and Souris?
14740Where have you been so early?
14740Where is the turnstile?
14740Where, if I may ask?
14740Which means that I''m forgiven?
14740Who are you?
14740Who can tell? 14740 Who knows?
14740Who knows?
14740Who would ever have thought of putting those two together?
14740Who?
14740Why am I to be dragged at her chariot wheels?
14740Why did n''t he bring the bag to you, and claim the reward?
14740Why did n''t you confide to me before, that you were physically and mentally incapable of packing? 14740 Why did n''t you take up your flirtation where you left it off, like a serial story to be''continued in your next''?
14740Why do n''t you curse me, and put me out of my misery?
14740Why not?
14740Why not?
14740Why should n''t I be the one? 14740 Why?"
14740Will Monsieur have dinner served?
14740Will Monsieur please to regard the menu?
14740Will Monsieur wish to proceed to- morrow morning as usual?
14740Will Paolo come also to the villa?
14740Will you go if I do-- that is, if she really asks us?
14740Will you have me with you?
14740Will you keep on the dressing- gown, if I let you go?.
14740Wot-- miles, me lord?
14740Would it be so very dreadful if I did?
14740Would you care for people if they were always good- tempered, or weather if it were always fair?
14740Yes, why not?
14740You are staying here? 14740 You are the right kind of friend,"said Molly,"and you deserve to be rewarded, does n''t he, Jack?"
14740You came up by the mule path, did n''t you?
14740You do n''t hate me for my masquerade?
14740You do n''t want to put me in a false position, do you? 14740 You know him, then?"
14740You love it? 14740 You see, I''ve just come through an experience something like it myself, do you mind talking about her?"
14740You think he will?
14740You think her conversion within sight?
14740You think so? 14740 You told Joseph that he need n''t come up very early to- morrow, did n''t you?"
14740You were afraid that her fascinations might overpower those of Mont Blanc, I suppose, whereas I am a mere stock or stone?
14740You will not reconsider?
14740You''re going up-- Mont Blanc?
14740You''ve been a soldier, have n''t you?
14740?
14740A dinner to please a lady, is it not?"
14740A motor_ is_ just as nice as a horse, is n''t it?
14740After all, what are dragons but strange, new things which we know nothing about and therefore detest?
14740Ah, but how could she break the news?
14740Am I to go back to the villa as if nothing had happened, or-- what?"
14740Am I to tell him that this is yours?"
14740And I would not try to take Signor Boy( this was the name she had built on mine for him) away from her and the dear Baronessa?
14740And after all, if a primrose on a river''s brim, but a yellow primrose was to them, what did it matter to me?
14740And have you in your shirt- sleeves?
14740Are all American boys like you?"
14740Are n''t you coming?"
14740Are you going to try and get to Chambéry, or will you return to Aix by train?"
14740Beautiful?
14740Best man you ever met?"
14740But for happiness?
14740But now that I''ve got you----""Who knows how long we may have each other?
14740But surely, I would come often, very often to the villa-- always for_ déjeuner_ and_ dîner_, till the other friends arrived, was it not?
14740But the singing?
14740But why should a girl be shunned by nice men solely because she''s an heiress?
14740But you''ll look at the one here, I suppose, if only as a matter of form?
14740But you?
14740But, look here, my dear fellow,"--Jack now had the decency to lower his voice,--"have you no red blood in your veins?
14740But-- but would you visit the Contessa?"
14740But-- er-- don''t you think that omnibus in front is rather large-- near, I mean?
14740But----""There''s a''but,''is there?"
14740Ca n''t she be as pretty and lovable in herself as a poor girl?"
14740Ca n''t six days tell you as much as six years-- such six days as we''ve had?"
14740Can any sound be more soothing than the tinkle of cow- bells in a mountain pass, as twilight falls softly, like the wings of a brooding bird?
14740Can one see your master''s house?
14740Can she sing?"
14740Can you resist Mercédès?"
14740Can you resist her?
14740Can you tell me why,_ mon père_?"
14740Could I hire a mule and a man, not for a day or two, but for a long journey-- a journey half across the world if I liked?
14740Could you-- fall in love with her?"
14740Did he keep right on being wonderful all the time, or did he turn out disappointing in the end?"
14740Did n''t you guess?
14740Did they dream I would try to do it, and smash the car?
14740Did you-- ever mention in your letters to-- your friends that you were-- travelling with anyone?"
14740Do n''t you remember a talk we had, the first day we were friends?
14740Do please tell me, one way or the other, if you saw what was in the picture?"
14740Do you hear the music of it?"
14740Do you love me-- love''for sure''this time?"
14740Do you mean me to understand that you wish to stop at Aix, indefinitely, and play out your little comedy of flirtation to its close?"
14740Do you object to telling me his name?"
14740Do you think I would permit any preoccupation of mine to interfere with the well- being of Finois?"
14740Do you want me?"
14740Had I not made a vow?
14740Had not Joseph learned from Innocentina that the boy had lately recovered from a severe illness?
14740Had the magnetism of her coquetry fired him?
14740Has n''t he got any sisters?"
14740Has she anyone in view to share it with her?"
14740Has that bounder been cheeking you?"
14740Have a cigarette?
14740Have n''t the words a thunder- roll?
14740Have we run over anything?"
14740Have you ever been at all in love?
14740Have you forgotten her already?"
14740Have you got yours on now?"
14740Have you had your_ café au lait_?"
14740Have you made a plan?"
14740He asked gravely if there had not been a great difference between the two long- dead Prime Ministers?
14740He is Protestant, too?"
14740He is in earnest?"
14740He is out of work, and you are poor; you have four children to feed, and one of them is ill. Why will you not have the money?
14740He must be eighteen or nineteen?"
14740He was not really tired, not a bit; how could one be tired in so much beauty?
14740He''s American, is n''t he?"
14740His eyes looked so big, and his face was so deeply stained with a quick rush of colour, that I feared he was ill."Anything wrong?"
14740How are the knee and arm?"
14740How could she know?
14740How dared we come here into this place from which they had been driven, we aliens?
14740How is your young Monsieur?"
14740I dare say it does n''t hurt much, being shot; and I suppose he would n''t be so-- so impolite as to shoot me in the face, would he?"
14740I did n''t hear?"
14740I hope you''ve better news of her?"
14740I said to myself and afterwards to Jack-- may I tell you what I said?"
14740I should have enquired deprecatingly:''What can you give us for lunch?''
14740I suppose one may hate men, yet be grateful to one man-- anyhow, till one finds him out?
14740I suppose that means a what- you- may- call-''em-- a''second,''does n''t it?
14740I suppose you go on somewhere else to- morrow?"
14740I wonder if they have had adventures to equal ours?
14740I wonder if you care?"
14740I''ll prove to you whether I----""Why does your face look suddenly different, Man?
14740I''ve my own reasons, and-- and I suppose I''m my own master?"
14740If I could think at all it would be of myself, that I was a fool not to-- and yet,_ was_ I a fool?
14740If I must fight with him, Man, you will be my second, wo n''t you, and-- and act for me, if that''s the right word?"
14740If a man may have a beam in his eye, why not a mule?
14740In dim ages his people and the saint were cousins, though the idea of a saint having cousins seems actually sacrilegious, does n''t it?
14740Is he a great unknown?"
14740Is it a bargain?"
14740Is it that the place looks huddled together?
14740Is it that you play?"
14740Is n''t she a beauty?
14740Is n''t that an inducement?"
14740Is n''t that what you meant?"
14740It was in a letter which Molly dropped almost on my head, from a balcony at Martigny, and there was a photograph----""Oh, you did n''t see it?"
14740It was when I brought up this subject that the-- the----""The flabbergasting began?"
14740Lightning Conductor?"
14740Money or no money, what does it matter, after all?
14740No Cowes?"
14740No tutor with them?"
14740No?
14740Now, do you still think he''s the leader of a band of kidnappers?"
14740Now, here were both the Hour and the Man: but where was the Boy?
14740Now, how did he know that the creature was a"she"?
14740Now, then, Monty, are you ready?"
14740Oh, Man, Man, how have I dared everything-- and most of all this meeting?
14740Oh, Man, the money would be horrible indeed, if you should let it come between us, but you wo n''t, will you?
14740Only do look where you''re walking, wo n''t you, when we''re on a path like this?
14740Or had the ladies inflicted the frightful things upon themselves, by way of penance for some grievous sin?
14740Or would she always have been passing-- passing-- I not dreaming of her presence, though she was by my side?"
14740Ought I to turn towards the town or away from it?
14740People who''ve been in battle would n''t think anything of a first motor experience("Oh, would n''t they?"
14740Rude of him,_ n''est- ce pas_?
14740Shall I drive up to the house?
14740Shall we shake hands?"
14740Shall you go on in your friends''motor car if you meet them?"
14740So you''re glad I''m not a girl?"
14740So, after all, the little sailing boat and the big bark are n''t going to pass each other this night?
14740Still, if your sister were like you, and not an heiress, I should----""You would-- what?"
14740Suddenly she said,"Before you talk to Herr Widmer about your mule, do n''t you think that you had better decide absolutely upon your route?"
14740Supposing he has come down here, how could he know that you''d arrived?"
14740Surely, Lucerne can be counted on to yield me up at least a donkey?"
14740That is part of the fascination, is it not?
14740That suits you, does n''t it?"
14740That we travelled together, stopped at the same hotels, and-- what''s the matter?"
14740The Baronessa?
14740The Boy did not answer; but when we sat at table, and had talked for a while of indifferent things, he said abruptly:"What were you going to ask me?"
14740The Boy''s absence?
14740The same croupiers too;--(or do croupiers develop a family likeness of face, of voice, of coat, as the years go chinking zeroly on?).
14740Then she left home at once, and soon she was taken very ill.""She loved that worthless scoundrel so much?"
14740Then you will go with me?"
14740There''s no credit in keeping straight if one''s not tempted to go wrong, is there?
14740This fellow- feeling( for had we not both been thrown over for tradesmen?)
14740Was I to be a bone of contention between husband and wife?
14740Was it-- a man friend who disappointed you?"
14740Was not Aix a charming place?
14740Was that a stone you stumbled over?"
14740Was the situation as it had been when he telephoned?
14740Was there not the Boy''s sister to be catered for in case she should come?
14740We are the right size for each other in the dance, are we not?"
14740We sha n''t be so very long on the way, shall we, Jack?"
14740We would promise-- promise--_promise_ to follow at once?
14740We''d rush the_ douanes_, or whatever they call them on passes, and if we_ were_ caught, what are five thousand francs?"
14740Well----""Well?"
14740Were not we friends, nice new friends, so much more interesting than old friends, whom you knew inside- out, like your frocks or your gloves?
14740Were they astrologers, that they should fear this fate?
14740What am I to do?
14740What are your plans?"
14740What are-- those men at the other end of the room like?"
14740What could I do, when you left me alone, at his mercy-- I so frail, he so big and strong?"
14740What could the strange little person have in his precious bag, which he valued as the immediate jewel of his soul?
14740What did Signor Boy think of them?
14740What did it matter that it had originally been the home of Cistercians?
14740What do you say, Boy?"
14740What if Madame la Baronne returns and finds a strange man and a boy in her bedroom?
14740What is this method of which you speak?"
14740What must you think of me?"
14740What reason did he give, and what excuse did he make, for dragging you off to his lair?
14740What shall you call it--''A Chiel takkin''Notes''or''In Search of the Grail''?"
14740What to do?
14740What use was it to remind myself that I had merely taken a leaf out of his book, that I had even played into his hands, as he seemed to desire?
14740What was it to us, I contended, that the monastery was said to have been built in 1125?
14740What was it?
14740What would he have replied?"
14740What''s the matter with you?"
14740What, drive the car through the traffic of Paris?
14740What, was I the monsieur who had telegraphed from the Hospice?
14740Where can we sit?
14740Where on earth can they have sprung from?
14740Where was the vast park with its crowding pines and its ravines for the wild chamois?
14740Who cared?
14740Who knows what may happen?''
14740Why did our frequent silences no longer tingle with a meaning which there was no need to express in words?
14740Why did the moonlight look cold and metallic?
14740Why did you never tell me you sang?"
14740Why do you stop?"
14740Why does n''t the ass teach him good manners?"
14740Why had the rushing sound of the river got on my nerves, like the monotonous crying of a fretful child?
14740Why name a place Foot- of- a- Mule, if there were no mules there?
14740Why not enjoy this moment, instead of waiting until the moment after next?
14740Why punish myself by a diet of salt when the savour had gone?
14740Why should I want him?
14740Why should n''t I qualify for the part?"
14740Why was it that my spirit stood no longer on the heights?
14740Why was my brain empty of impressions as a squeezed sponge of water?
14740Why, do n''t you know it taxes the endurance of a strong man?
14740Why, in fact, though everything was outwardly the same, why was all in reality different?
14740Will you come?"
14740Will you finish the journey of Life with me, my Little Pal-- my Love?"
14740Will you have a cigarette?"
14740Would I like breakfast, he asked; and then-- yes, certainly-- to see the chapel, the_ bibliothèque_, the monastery museum, and the Alpine garden?
14740Would it be disagreeable for you if I were in the same hotel?"
14740Would_ les messieurs_ kindly accompany him?
14740Yet, who knows what may happen at Monte Carlo?
14740You are n''t going to meet a soul on Mont Revard?"
14740You will, wo n''t you?"
14740You_ did n''t_ see it, did you?"

19441A thousand francs against a hundred of yours shall it be, Monsieur? 19441 A twelve- horse- power car, and you propose to take with you on tour three ladies, their maid, and all their luggage?"
19441After all, what does it matter, as long as we''re all young together?
19441Ah, but how long shall we be?
19441Ah, then did they not leave word? 19441 Ah, you paid ten centimes?
19441Ah,_ why_ have n''t you a few years more?
19441All?
19441Am I dreaming, or has this happened? 19441 An hour?
19441And after that?
19441And do you forgive me?
19441And do you remember the houses of the neighbourhood?
19441And what are people but a kind of superior ant, and the grandest palaces but big anthills?
19441And what does the lawyer say?
19441And will you give twenty lire each for the lions? 19441 And will you trust me, and not be unkind, now that I''ve promised to think of you only as a friend?"
19441And with Dalmar- Kalm?
19441Are we forgiven?
19441Are you planning to run away with me?
19441Are you sure you want me?
19441Beechy darling, would you like to have some more of those_ marrons glacés_? 19441 But I hope we wo n''t have to get_ out_?"
19441But I thought you were determined to preserve her from the sin of vanity? 19441 But if I do not consent?"
19441But the present so soon becomes the past, does n''t it? 19441 But then, if I had,_ she_ would have more too would n''t she?"
19441But what may he be one day?
19441But you ca n''t work without the water- wheel, I suppose?
19441But you do n''t want him to fall in love with Maida?
19441But you intend to return to France?
19441But-- I suppose it will only be for coffee?
19441By the way, what is its state of health?
19441Ca n''t we take a small trunk and a satchel apiece?
19441Ca n''t you guess how he got his automobile just in the nick of time?
19441Can nothing be done to save her? 19441 Can you guess that conundrum, Cousin Maida?"
19441Castle? 19441 Chauffeulier?
19441Coil of rope? 19441 Could you and Mr. Terrymore come and dine with us to- night?
19441Could you?
19441Dear me, did he?
19441Dear me, it_ does_ look as if it was going to be a mighty tight squeeze, does n''t it?
19441Did Miss Beechy''s mysterious communication have anything to do with her cousin?
19441Did n''t I tell you so?
19441Did the big mountains give you a thought too?
19441Did you come out here at this time of the morning to ask me about Mamma''s marriage?
19441Did you get Mamma to make a will in your favour last night?
19441Did you get in on the car, or on the cars, this time?
19441Did you get my letter?
19441Did you meet him here for the first time?
19441Did you send the Prince to call me in, Beechy?
19441Do n''t you say that in England, or Scotland, or wherever you come from? 19441 Do n''t you see many motors here?"
19441Do n''t you think there''s something particularly interesting and romantic about frontiers?
19441Do n''t you think we ought to go back to Beechy?
19441Do n''t you? 19441 Do the Prince and Sir Ralph Moray intend to go over as samples?"
19441Do you call this advertisement a practical idea? 19441 Do you know why I was especially anxious to arrive ahead of you?"
19441Do you like motoring?
19441Do you mean on account of Vittorio Alfieri?
19441Do you mean that it will be my birthday?
19441Do you mean to tell me that car of yours ca n''t carry five people half across the world if necessary?
19441Do you mind telling me your friend''s name, or is he a secret?
19441Do you think I look more than my age?
19441Does Monsieur think I can command tea, cakes, and cream from the tiles of the kitchen floor?
19441Galatea?
19441Going back?
19441Going to the harbour?
19441Good Heavens, Beechy, what_ do_ you mean?
19441Good gracious, what do you take me for?
19441Hanbury- land? 19441 Has he, indeed?
19441Have n''t these windows been opened since then?
19441Have we killed the Serpent- thing-- whatever it is?
19441Have you been doing anything to this car, to make her faster than she was? 19441 Have you ever been down as far as Cattaro?"
19441Have you ever been in Italy?
19441Have you found it now-- for sure?
19441Have you noticed, Mr. Barrymore,I asked,"that my cousin Maida never wears anything except black, or grey, or white?"
19441He has the car to look after before he can dress, and after the good day he has given us would n''t it be ungrateful to begin without him?
19441How can you judge? 19441 How can you?
19441How could I know?
19441How do you know?
19441How go on with a change- speed lever broken short off, close to the quadrant?
19441How long a time shall we spend in Padua, Countess?
19441How long_ ought_ we to stay in Padua?
19441How shall I feel if you do n''t wish Miss Destrey your best wishes?
19441How_ am_ I feeling?
19441How_ could_ you?
19441How_ do_ you do, Sir Ralph? 19441 I guess you''re a little near- sighted, are n''t you, Prince?"
19441I love it; do n''t you, Beechy?
19441I mean nothing of the sort,snapped Mamma,"but I have some ambition, otherwise what would have been the good of coming to Europe?
19441I suppose I can be happy, then?
19441I suppose some things could be sent by rail from place to place to meet us, could n''t they?
19441I thought you called all this''nonsense''?
19441I wonder if they have?
19441I wonder what you mean?
19441I wonder, if we_ could_ go to bed, after all?
19441I''d toss up a penny, and whichever side came, I''d take--"Yes?
19441I''m tired of it, are n''t you? 19441 If you have got together all this mass of worldly wisdom at thirteen, what will you have accumulated at twenty?"
19441Indeed? 19441 Indeed?"
19441Is Mamma''s new property in Dalmatia as well perserved as that, Prince?
19441Is it Juliet''s spirit?
19441Is it sarcasm?
19441Is it serious?
19441Is n''t he going to take us in?
19441Is n''t it all wonderful?
19441Is n''t it dreadful? 19441 Is that a_ road_?"
19441Is that the reason he''s so stand- off with us-- because he knows we''re rich?
19441Is that what Miss Destrey said to your Mamma?
19441Is there another he could have taken?
19441Is there? 19441 Is your car mended already?"
19441It''s a delicious mixture of Carcassonne and Verona set down by the sea, with something of Venice thrown in, is n''t it?
19441Jolly clever, is n''t it?
19441Maida, have you_ fainted_?
19441Mamma asked Maida yesterday whether it was better to be an Austrian prince, or an English baronet?
19441Meanwhile, I suppose I must put up with you?
19441Miss Destrey was in the car?
19441Mr. Barrymore has won that bet easily, has n''t he, Kitty and Beechy?
19441My dear young lady, what do you mean?
19441No cover? 19441 Now, how soon do you expect to finish your job?"
19441Of course, I''m too young_ now_ to judge of such matters, but if it was_ I_ who had to choose--"Well?
19441Oh, Mr. Terrymore, is that_ you_?
19441Oh, ca n''t the man_ see_ that street car''s going to run us down? 19441 Oh, could they have hung us?"
19441Oh, you have got something in your head?
19441Oh, you_ are_ interested in somebody''s future beside your own then?
19441Or have you changed your mind-- already?
19441Ought n''t we to stop and see the pictures?
19441Perhaps Sir Ralph would not object to steering my car?
19441Perhaps, Countess, if you would wait a little time-- a week or ten days, I might--"But we''re going day after to- morrow, are n''t we, Kittie?
19441Really?
19441Shall I intimate to him that Maida is very rich?
19441Shall I kill him?
19441Shall you stop to see the Cathedral, and something of Milan by daylight, before going on to the Lake of Como?
19441So can young ladies'',_ n''est- ce pas_? 19441 So it is, is n''t it?"
19441Some one we''ve just been talking about?
19441Surely she is more wise than that?
19441That dear, fat duck who brought us tea the day we were at your house?
19441The question is, will he like_ me_ in Venice?
19441Then can you both lunch with us to- morrow at one o''clock?
19441There''s a-- a kind of excitement in this sort of thing, is n''t there? 19441 They exist but in your imagination,"answered the Prince;"Or is it only that you wish to put me off?"
19441This looks like being an adventure; and none of us are old enough to have outgrown our love of adventure, are we, Mamma?
19441To his uncle?
19441Wait till to- morrow morning? 19441 Want me to undo your frock behind, Mamma?"
19441We shall feel as safe as if we were in a house when you are driving, now we know what kind of a man you are, sha n''t we, girls?
19441We''ll keep each other up, wo n''t we?
19441Well you_ are_ going to, are n''t you?
19441Well, have you decided to give us a chance to breathe, after all?
19441Well, it does n''t matter_ now_, does it?
19441Well, you like me to be childish, do n''t you? 19441 Well,"replied Sir Ralph,"if it comes to that, what''s the sea but a big wet thing?"
19441Well?
19441What about you, Sir Ralph? 19441 What are you anxious to say about me that ca n''t wait till breakfast?"
19441What are you laughing at?
19441What are you thinking of, Maida?
19441What are_ you_ thinking of, Mamma?
19441What beast-- what thing-- hope what?
19441What did you say about me, dearest?
19441What do you know, Joseph?
19441What do you mean?
19441What do you mean?
19441What do you mean?
19441What do you say to that, Countess, and Miss Destrey? 19441 What does it matter if we''re both smashed, if only we get there first?"
19441What has happened? 19441 What has happened?
19441What have_ I_ gone through, I should like to ask?
19441What horse- power?
19441What is funny?
19441What is it to His Highness that I lose a night''s sleep?
19441What is it to be?
19441What is your car?
19441What language do they speak here?
19441What makes you think he does n''t know already, as he evidently followed the party here, and must be constantly dangling about?
19441What makes you think he wo n''t?
19441What mountains are those, far away?
19441What she means?
19441What then?
19441What was that Mr. Terrymore said about warming- pans? 19441 What were you talking about?"
19441What would be the good of fixing my attention on him, if that''s what you mean,I inquired,"when he''s got his attention fixed upon another?"
19441What''s he like? 19441 What''s that?"
19441What''s the matter?
19441What, let down my hair and wear my dresses short?
19441What-- a bet? 19441 What?"
19441What?
19441What_ are_ you going to do?
19441What_ is_ that tiny black thing that comes and goes?
19441Whatever_ do_ you mean?
19441When could_ you_ go, Sir Ralph?
19441When is a coincidence not a coincidence?
19441Where will you go?
19441Where''s Joseph?
19441Where''s Mamma?
19441Where''s that other place you spoke of?
19441Who could help being-- in hers?
19441Who is he?
19441Who was she?
19441Who''s Félicité? 19441 Who''s Félicité?"
19441Who, the Austrian Consul?
19441Why are you always unkind to me? 19441 Why are_ you_ prudent and economical, and I reckless and extravagant?"
19441Why be hurried, Countess?
19441Why do you always try to thwart me when I want to be happy?
19441Why do you say that?
19441Why especially the Prince?
19441Why not? 19441 Why should it?"
19441Why, that''s not very far from Verona, is it? 19441 Why, what is it this time?"
19441Why? 19441 Why?
19441Why?
19441Why?
19441Why?
19441Why?
19441Will you give five hundred lire for the well- head?
19441Will you have a receipt for this sum?
19441Will you lend me a stout cord to tow this automobile?
19441Will you let me take you away?
19441Will you really? 19441 Would you mind going back a little, darling?"
19441You are mine?
19441You can get''every requisite''( is n''t that the word?) 19441 You consider him handsome?"
19441You did n''t tell her?
19441You know the Prince will never propose to me?
19441You seem so fond of selling your houses, why do n''t you offer Mamma the one near Vienna, if it''s the best?
19441You thought that this was still a hotel? 19441 You will have our best, is it not, Madame la Comtesse?"
19441You will not allow yourself to be prejudiced against me?
19441You would n''t have us go slower, would you? 19441 You''ll start off at once, without finding out any more-- and road or no road?"
19441You''re fond of him, are n''t you?
19441You''re not drowned?
19441_ Are n''t_ you?
19441_ Have_ lost souls pockets?
19441''Da, da?''
19441( Had she by chance been sent abroad to forget an unfortunate attachment?)
19441Accordingly I just lay still in that funny little iron bed, saying,"Beechy Kidder, is this_ you_?"
19441After all, what could he ask for that he had not at this moment?
19441After all, what title sounds so well for a woman as"Princess"?
19441Airole, is that you?"
19441All was still as in a dream-- for in dreams, does one ever hear a sound?
19441Almost as he spoke a big one shot by, heading for Alessandria and-- who knows but for Cuneo?
19441And anyway, why should she not give him hints if she likes?
19441And if I did, what good would it do you?
19441And if Papa were here now, what would_ he_ do to you?"
19441And what was done about it when you had only a Queen on the throne?"
19441And would Aunt Kathryn never speak to me?
19441And_ did n''t_ I do them all?
19441Are n''t all your girls brought up to expect to be duchesses, and your men presidents?"
19441Are n''t those voices in the distance, and do n''t you see something big and dark bearing down upon us?"
19441Are you giving them what they wanted?"
19441Automobile- Micawber?"
19441B.?"
19441Barrymore?"
19441Besides what is your age?"
19441Besides, we do n''t want to, do we, girls?
19441But I heard, and wondered if, after all, he were a little jealous of the Prince?
19441But about the Prince?"
19441But did this coming event cast a shadow on the Prince''s contentment?
19441But do you know the play about the statue that came to life?"
19441But happy I am, happier than I''ve ever been, though I keep asking myself, or Maida, or Beechy,"_ Why_ is it so nice?"
19441But look here, Ralph, do you understand what you''ve let me in for?"
19441But the cars_ did n''t_ run over us, did they?"
19441But was he also jealous for himself?
19441But we had such a lot of things to arrange, had n''t we?"
19441But what was a hairpin more or less, or even a"transformation"a little awry, to a woman about to become a corpse?
19441But what_ is_ the right way?
19441But where was Schloss Hrvoya?
19441But will she ever_ get_ home?"
19441But you wo n''t let him know about this talk?"
19441By the way, do you know the Duchess of Carborough?"
19441By the way, yours has at least a cover, I make no doubt, Sir Ralph?"
19441Ca n''t you hear it calling?
19441Can a saintly virgin on a golden panel look sulky?
19441Can human beings really have made it, or did it make itself as gems form in the rocks, and coral under the sea?"
19441Could any woman in her senses throw over even a titleless Terry and twelve horses worth of motor for a hat box or two and an Austrian Prince?
19441Could n''t we call for help?"
19441Could n''t you and your mother induce her to change her mind?"
19441Could we go there, Sir Ralph?"
19441County, can I take her into the sallong?"
19441Did any one ever see such a work of art representing a woman as indicating any point of view to a man?
19441Did he thank us for not straining the quality of our mercy?
19441Did n''t I tell you that I''m a widow?
19441Did n''t you tell him that you would n''t go, that you--""Well, I''d like to know what good my saying_''Would n''t''_ could do?
19441Did she wish to tell the Prince in a sentence, how poor she really was?
19441Did you ever know anything so horrid?
19441Did you imagine that I would forget?"
19441Did you never hear of the opera of Beatrice di Tenda?
19441Do n''t you remember,''Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?''
19441Do you know how to reach Schloss Hrvoya?"
19441Do you know that it''s nearly nine o''clock?
19441Do you know what he called us to a friend of his in this hotel?
19441Do you know, Countess, this is the first time you have ever been alone with me, for more than a few moments?"
19441Do you remember telling me something about to- morrow?"
19441Do you want something with me?"
19441Doing what?"
19441Eh, Terry?"
19441For what purpose?"
19441Félicité,_ mon ange_, say how you summoned that tea and those cakes and cream from the vasty deep?"
19441Had a motor- car been seen driving this way during the afternoon?
19441Had he caught the birds-- our birds-- after all, at the last moment, and had they been too cowardly to let us know?
19441Had her beautiful white sails veered with a new wind, and did she_ want_ to go with us, after all?
19441Has not this been suddenly arranged?"
19441Have I been so unfortunate as to vex you in any way?"
19441Have I won the bet?"
19441Have n''t you seen from the first how I loved you?"
19441Have you burnt my automobile, or are you always like this when you get up early?"
19441Have you no human ambition?
19441Have you seen it?"
19441He_ went_ for you at once, as I knew he would-- but what''s the matter, Mr. Barrymore?
19441Her face is her fortune,_ n''est- ce pas_?"
19441How could the others talk?
19441How could they have been expected to?
19441How would you like to sit?
19441How, then, do you propose to protect these ladies from the rain?"
19441I do n''t think that the poor old car will be such a shock to the ladies now, even after some of the fine ones they must have seen, do you?"
19441I do n''t understand, do you?"
19441I do not care for myself, but surely, Sir Ralph, it would have been easy to find a better place than this to give the ladies luncheon?"
19441I do wonder what standing an Austrian Prince would have in Denver?
19441I made a remark like that to Mr. Barrymore, and he gave me such a friendly, appreciative look as he said,"Have you discovered all this already?"
19441I may call you Sir Ralph, may I not?"
19441I never saw anything so pretty, did you?"
19441I never_ can_ say it properly?"
19441I suppose you''ll just give me time to make my will, and-- er-- say good- bye to Miss Beechy?"
19441I wonder what''s up?"
19441I wonder which will learn faster?"
19441I wonder why she says things like that so often lately?
19441I''m sure it was_ meant_, are n''t you?"
19441If I''m not mistaken, Prince, your motor is a Festa, made in Vienna, is n''t it?"
19441If you speak of zigzags going up hill, ought n''t you to call them zagzigs going down?
19441Is it a little independent principality like Monacoa?
19441Is it not my greatest pleasure to think of you?"
19441Is it nothing to you that I can make you a Princess?"
19441Is it possible you care for me?"
19441Is n''t it a perfect beauty?
19441Is n''t it about time you dropped work, and thought of making yourself respectable for dinner?
19441Is n''t it awful?"
19441Is n''t it perfectly lovely there, with that big garden, the woods and all?
19441Is n''t it so, Barrymore?"
19441Is n''t that it?"
19441Is n''t that lovely of him?"
19441Is there anything that His Highness would not say, if it pleased him?
19441Is this where you dropped it?
19441It was the home of romance; for was it not Juliet''s home and Romeo''s?
19441It''s awfully nice and poetic, but do n''t you think it would be still nicer if you just steered?"
19441Just where_ is_ Schloss( she pronounced it''Slosh'') what- you- may- call- it?
19441Knowing that one of us feels so strongly, Count, wo n''t you order your yacht to turn back to Ragusa?"
19441Lacquered Japanese temples, then?
19441Let me see; what are we to each other?"
19441Middle- aged, stout?"
19441Mine is a giant beside it, is it not?
19441Miss Destrey is very fond of history, is n''t she?"
19441Miss Destrey, would you care to go with me for the sake of a little exercise?"
19441Mr. Barrymore, wo n''t you let me give you a lift?
19441Must one live through several incarnations, I wonder, for true development?
19441Nothing at present?
19441Now which of you two gentlemen put it in?"
19441Of course your ch-- Mr. Barrymore( or did I hear you say Terrymore?)
19441Or is it automobiling that makes new qualities grow?
19441Our feast was not laid in a private dining- room( what is the good of having distinguished guests if nobody is to know you''ve got them?
19441PART IV TOLD BY MAIDA DESTREY XVII A CHAPTER OF MOTOR MANIA What becomes of the beautiful army of days marching away from us into the past?
19441Perhaps we see you there?"
19441Say, Sir Ralph, do n''t you think she''s mean not to give me even so much as_ half_ a crown?"
19441Shall I ask?"
19441Shall I give him to Maida?
19441Shall they try?
19441Shall we be drowned?"
19441Shall we go on?"
19441Shall we stop for the storm and have tea?"
19441She is n''t bad, is she?"
19441Should n''t you like to do it, Miss Beechy-- dawdling, not scorching?"
19441Should you suppose he would be preferred to-- to persons of less exalted rank who were-- who were not quite so_ foreign_?"
19441Sir Ralph, do n''t you think those are nice abbreviations?
19441So what_ can_ you do with a girl like that?"
19441So when we go--""Aunt K-- I mean Kittie, do n''t you think we ought to go home to the hotel?"
19441Surely the Chauffeulier could not bear the strain of this agonizing scene?
19441The other two--""What about them?"
19441This morning did I get a moment''s sleep?
19441This seemed a far- fetched supposition; but why should Montenegro be chosen as a destination?
19441Though it''s early to talk of such contingencies, is n''t it, as they''ve known each other-- we''ve all known each other-- only a few days?"
19441Thousand furies, why could n''t it have waited twenty minutes more?"
19441We''re none of us_ infirm old women_, are we, Mamma, that we should mind roughing it, for once?"
19441What I asked was, would they take me and my motor in their boat, immediately, on the instant, to Cattaro?
19441What are English girls brought up to expect?"
19441What are they to admire so much, anyhow, when you think of it, more than flat places?
19441What can have happened to him, that he should be so despairing?
19441What could the most elementary intelligence need more to comprehend?
19441What could the thwarted giants do after such an experience but stand looking after us and make the best of things?
19441What did I say to you yesterday?"
19441What did it mean?
19441What do you know about little girls like me?"
19441What do you think, Sir Ralph?"
19441What does he know about me?"
19441What had Signore Ripollo of that sort?
19441What is to be your fate?
19441What was the consequence?
