Le Jeune, had fled to Europe? 37712 Could King Leopold have shown more clearly how far any real reform was from his mind? 37712 Could they be told in plainer terms that they were to disregard it? 37712 Did he already foresee how widely his future actions would differ from his present professions? 37712 Did they kill many?'' 37712 Do n''t you see among them the hands of little children and girls( young girls or boys)? 37712 Do the Kimberley diamond hunters like work? 37712 Do the blacks of the Rand gold mines like work? 37712 Do the carriers of an East German caravan like work? 37712 Does the philanthropic King of the Belgians know about this? 37712 Does this all seem horrible? 37712 Either the surplus is furnished freely; and if so, how can coercion be logically argued? 37712 He continues:To whom does the rubber belong which grows upon the land occupied by the Congo natives?
37712	He tells how the white man fought him, and when the fight was over handed him his corpses, and said:''Now you will bring rubber, wo n''t you?''
37712	He then asked:''Where is his rubber?''
37712	He was_ chicotted_( flogged), and said,"Why do you do this?
37712	He withdrew all that he had said at the Commission-- and who can blame him?
37712	How could the foreign merchant do business when the State had seized everything and could sell it for itself direct in Europe?
37712	How could they trade when the State had taken from them everything which they had to offer?
37712	How much blood will the transport make to flow?
37712	How, then, is this produce to be gathered?
37712	How, then, was Mr. Stannard to produce evidence that his account was correct?
37712	I mention that after travelling many miles to obtain cloth for ivory and redwood powder, the despairing natives asked:''Well, what is it you do want?
37712	If the agents on the spot did not attempt before the Commission to deny the outrages who shall venture to do it in their name?
37712	If the sentinels were puzzled about this message, what would the natives be?"
37712	If, then, they saw as much as they did, what must have been the condition of those huge tracts of country where no missions existed?
37712	Is it not clear that these steps are not accidental, but are absolutely essential to the original idea?
37712	Is it not evident that, save the first three, these were the very men who were on their trial?
37712	Is it right to flog a chief?"''
37712	Is it the making of money?
37712	Know you not the military man among you, the lawyer and the merchant, the banker, the artist, or the poet?
37712	Meeting a poor woman, whose husband was away fishing, he asked:''Where is your husband?''
37712	One Monday night, a sentinel who had just returned from the Commissary, said to me:''What are the sentinels to do?
37712	Or is it the United States which would stand in the way, when her citizens have vied with our own in withstanding and exposing these iniquities?
37712	Or, lastly, is France the danger?
37712	Suppose he resigns?
37712	Surely there is some limit to the silent complicity of the civilized world?
37712	There was hardly a sound building in the place.... Why such dilapidation?
37712	War with Belgium?
37712	Was he at that time consciously hypocritical?
37712	Was it ashamed of its bloodthirsty deeds?
37712	Was it prepared in any way to modify its policy after the revelations which its representatives had admitted to be true?
37712	Was it with the capita?
37712	Was it, then, with the District Commissary?
37712	Was it, then, with the Governor- General at Boma?
37712	Was it, then, with the agent?
37712	Weak and trimming, it is true, but it was the cornerstone of all that the King had built, and how were they to knock it rudely out?
37712	Were many of you so treated after being shot?''
37712	What advantage, then, would the Protestants gain by any change?
37712	What can I do?
37712	What can be done?
37712	What can he do then?
37712	What chance would Lothaire or Le Jeune have before a Middlesex jury?
37712	What course should we pursue?
37712	What do these thirteen represent in torture and murder?
37712	What is progress?
37712	What is there to be jealous of?
37712	What then?
37712	What, then, should be done?
37712	Whence does it come?
37712	Where did the responsibility for these deeds of blood, these thousands of cold- blooded murders lie?
37712	Where, then, was the guilt?
37712	Which of them was punished?
37712	Who can help rejoicing that they seem to have had some success?
37712	Who could possibly deny, after reading this passage, that the Congo native has been reduced from freedom into slavery?
37712	Who does not realize the grave inconvenience of this dependence?
37712	Why should one continue with the testimony given before the Commission?
37712	Why, then, do they work?
37712	Will America be behind?
37712	Would Belgium pay this £ 20,000,000?
37712	XIV SOLUTIONS But what can be done?
37712	would draw the sword for Leopold?
53730	And I wonder how you formed that opinion, Nona? 53730 And Monsieur Bebé?"
53730	Are n''t you pleased to see me, Barbara-- Miss Meade?
53730	Are you disappointed in what they wish you to do, Barbara, child?
53730	Are you disgusted with me, Gene?
53730	Are you very rich, Eugenia Peabody?
53730	Barbara?
53730	But I thought I was to be your guest of honor, Gene?
53730	But if Eugenia understood what she would have to face, whatever made her do such a mad thing? 53730 But is n''t Nona one of the prettiest girls you ever saw and the most charming?"
53730	But you have n''t said what the trouble is between us, Bab, or whether you are willing to forgive me?
53730	Can we stop a minute somewhere, Gene, before we get back to the house? 53730 Desert us?"
53730	Dick Thornton, can it be possible this is you, when you are in Brussels?
53730	Dick,she said in an awed tone,"did n''t you use_ both_ your arms just now, when you kept me from falling?"
53730	Did anyone in the world ever talk in such a ridiculous fashion as Barbara, and yet was there ever anyone so delightful?
53730	Do n''t you understand what the ivy means?
53730	Do you know what ivy stands for?
53730	Do you know, girls, Eugenia Peabody has become a mystery to me lately? 53730 Does he appear more cheerful since I left him with you a week ago?"
53730	Great heavens, who was that, Gene?
53730	How are things going, Bibo?
53730	How can one help being? 53730 How could I?
53730	I know it is a painful situation, Eugenia dear, but what_ can_ you do with three babies? 53730 I say, Barbara, why ca n''t I go along with you?"
53730	I say, which would you prefer, to talk to a man without a collar or to help him put one on? 53730 I wish you could persuade Barbara Meade to share that idea of yours, Nona?"
53730	I wonder if I shall ever learn what to say and what not to say, Gene?
53730	Is that American frankness, Eugenie? 53730 Let us have tea, wo n''t you, please, Dick?"
53730	Please wait a while, Madame Carton, if possible, until I can see you again?
53730	Shall we tell Barbara now?
53730	Sounds polite, does n''t it, what I am trying to say? 53730 Tell me, Miss Peabody, what do you think I should do?"
53730	That is tremendously good news, is n''t it? 53730 Then Gene is well?"
53730	Was Dick here this afternoon?
53730	We were hurt with Eugenia for not taking us into her confidence sooner, were n''t we?
53730	What do you mean?
53730	What do you suppose father really did mean, then, Mill?
53730	What does this mean?
53730	What is it you wish me to persuade Barbara to believe?
53730	What is it, Dick?
53730	What is the matter, Bab? 53730 What possible harm could be done if Monsieur Bebé, in reality Albert Reney, be transferred to Eugenia''s home in the woods?
53730	What shall I do? 53730 What would Eugenia have done for one of them under the same circumstances?"
53730	What would you give to have that same little French girl, Nicolete, talk to you some day not very far off?
53730	Whose room is this, Eugenia? 53730 Why do n''t you say something, Gene?"
53730	Why do you happen to be wearing that spray of ivy so proudly, Dick?
53730	Why should I try to deceive you? 53730 Why, what does this mean, Eugenia?"
53730	Will you wait a moment, please, until the children can be taken to another part of the yard?
53730	You do n''t mean, Eugenia Peabody, that you have decided to give up the Red Cross work and go back home? 53730 Your place beside me?"
53730	Am I ever going to be sensible again?"
53730	And how was it possible that any human being could escape from Belgium whom the Germans wished to detain?
53730	Are you a princess in disguise?
53730	Ask her as a favor to me?"
53730	But I wonder if it is fair to Mildred and Nona to have you leave them for even a short time?
53730	But how convince her of this at the present moment?
53730	But how could any human being have suspected Eugenia of riches when she wore such dreadful clothes?"
53730	But it is true, is n''t it, Eugenia, that if one is happy oneself, it is not hard to bear the sufferings of other people?
53730	But the fact is, I did n''t care then, because, because-- Oh, why is it so hard to get it out, Gene?
53730	But what was the root of the trouble between her and her two former friends?
53730	But why, after all, had Nicolete decided to come away with them from her own beloved land?
53730	Ca n''t you help me?
53730	Ca n''t you think of some way to save us_ all_?"
53730	Did you think for an instant I would allow you and Eugenia to go on this long trip alone, when Eugenia has been so ill?
53730	Do old maids now and then represent the real mother spirit?
53730	Do you remember two Red Cross nurses to whom you gave some flowers that you and the other soldiers had made grow in the mouth of your trench?
53730	Do you think I''ll make a great failure as a mother, Bab?"
53730	For was not Dick a soldier of peace rather than of war, yet one who had made the same sacrifice?
53730	How big was Eugenia''s house and her sympathy these days?
53730	How long must I serve before you return my affection?"
53730	How was she to make him see Eugenia''s point of view?
53730	I believe it was the first evening after Dick Thornton arrived in Brussels?
53730	I ca n''t tell her this to her face though, can I, Eugenia?
53730	I do n''t see why girls need always be ashamed of caring for people who do n''t care for them?
53730	I do n''t suppose you have the faintest idea of what I am trying to say?
53730	I know it is an ungrateful present, but you''ll listen, wo n''t you?"
53730	I never believed Nona as strong as you, Barbara, so why do you seem so used up?
53730	I wonder if it was because you were brought up in the south that you are so conventional?
53730	I wonder if real saints ever had such traits of character?
53730	If I can not like her now because she is prettier and more charming than I am, then why did I like her at the beginning of our acquaintance?
53730	If possible, would you like one of us to write you?"
53730	Is it because you enjoy looking after the Belgian children?"
53730	Is that why you haunt the church of Saint Gudula?"
53730	Is there any one here to assist you?"
53730	Is your work at the hospital more difficult than hers?"
53730	May I buy the house from your mother?
53730	May I go inside and see?"
53730	Moreover, where could she be going?
53730	Or was he hearing again the cracking of rifles, the booming of cannon, all the noises of the past year of life in a trench?
53730	Shall I return to Brussels and give us all up to the authorities?"
53730	Should she insist that Dick was not in love with Nona when she knew absolutely nothing about it?
53730	Suppose they should be compelled to scamper for shelter just at the critical moment in Eugenia''s plans?
53730	Suppose this Miss Peabody should be so inconsiderate as to die?
53730	Then I wonder if it is best I should leave you alone?
53730	Then afterwards we both watched Nicolete dance and you threw her a spray of mignonette?"
53730	Was he dreaming of Provence before France was driven into war?
53730	Was it not possible that Eugenia be removed to a hospital or to her own home until she recovered?
53730	What could she have in mind this afternoon of greater importance?
53730	What could_ I_ possibly do to help you?
53730	What excuse did she have for saving the man and his family?
53730	What had_ they_ to do with this war and its horrors?
53730	What is it that has been making you feel and behave so differently toward me lately?
53730	What makes you believe as you do, Barbara?"
53730	What other reason could she have, except to spare me humiliation, for refusing to have anything to do with me since I came to Brussels?
53730	What possible danger could come to these little kiddies and me?"
53730	What right had she to be jealous and miserable because a beautiful experience had come to Nona and Dick?
53730	Which one of you shall it be?"
53730	Who do you think arrived in Brussels today to help with the American Relief work?"
53730	Whom had she in hiding all these weeks, risking her own liberty for his or her safety?
53730	Why had he not made the suggestion to Barbara Meade rather than to her?
53730	Why had she not come with them this afternoon?
53730	Why should any one of us expect her to be?"
53730	Will you go with me upon a more cheerful excursion some day?"
53730	Will you listen while I read it to you?
53730	Wo n''t you wear this?"
53730	Wonder if you have ever guessed my secret, Nona?"
53730	Would you like Nona and me to leave you?
53730	Yet it must be some one whose safety her friend considered of great importance, for had she not deliberately lied to her?
53730	Yet what reason could there have been for not telling her they expected Richard Thornton''s appearance in Brussels on this particular afternoon?
53730	You are not trying to play at being the patron saint of Brussels, are you?
53730	Your place is with them rather than any one else, is n''t it?"
25836	And did you keep a lock for me?
25836	And her breathing?
25836	And the shells?
25836	And you mean to tell me you could n''t get hold of an army car to help you out, all this time?
25836	Any errands, girls?
25836	Are you Red Cross?
25836	Are you a trained nurse?
25836	Are you going to walk me to Furnes?
25836	Believe what?
25836	But ca n''t we catch the spy?
25836	But do n''t the wounded come first?
25836	But how about the wounded?
25836	But what am I to do with her?
25836	By the way,he called to Hilda,"what driver do you want?"
25836	Ca n''t we get out of this?
25836	Does he keep notches on his rifle?
25836	Have you any wounded?
25836	He looks like a hero, does n''t he?
25836	How about the ambulances that were n''t working?
25836	How about you, Scotch?
25836	How did he get it?
25836	How did you come to know the place?
25836	How did you know I was talking with him?
25836	How do you make that out?
25836	How does that concern you?
25836	How far?
25836	How is the sentry- box to- night?
25836	How long have you been like this?
25836	How many men did you rescue?
25836	How many mitrailleuse have you at the railroad?
25836	How shall it be, Smith?
25836	How wonderful?
25836	I say,said Hilda, looking up from the keys,"would any one believe it?"
25836	I think the shells are the most annoying, do n''t you, Mr. Barkleigh? 25836 Is it ever hot out your way?"
25836	Is that all the war means to you?
25836	Is there any shortage of nurses for the hospitals?
25836	It always pays to get up early, does n''t it, my dear?
25836	It is n''t their fault, is it, miss?
25836	It''s different, is n''t it?
25836	Later, you will come?
25836	Let me have him christened first?
25836	Mademoiselle Hilda,said the Commandant from his seat in the shadows on the sofa,"parlez- vous français?"
25836	Mercy, child, what ails you?
25836	No one stationed there?
25836	No place for a woman, is it?
25836	Now, what do you women think you are doing?
25836	Parlez- vous français?
25836	Run business by the Golden Rule?
25836	Shall we evacuate?
25836	Shall we not leave the lady?
25836	Sister,said Hilda, to one of the women,"what is it with the child?
25836	The car is full,said Hilda;"you have more wounded?"
25836	The little children who have died, what becomes of them?
25836	The show is over, is n''t it?
25836	What are those men looking at?
25836	What can the man be after,queried Hilda,"will you be wanting to borrow my hair brush to curry the cavalry with?"
25836	What do you have to do?
25836	What do you think of using black troops against white, miss?
25836	What do you think we had better do?
25836	What do you want?
25836	What does it all come to?
25836	What is it all about? 25836 What is the situation in the trenches, to- night?"
25836	What is the use? 25836 What luck?"
25836	What next?
25836	What of it?
25836	What time?
25836	What will happen if the Germans get on top of the trenches?
25836	What would you have us do?
25836	What''s a shame?
25836	What''s the news?
25836	When I have informed myself, what then? 25836 Where did you get them?"
25836	Where do they come in?
25836	Where is the American girl to- night?
25836	Where will they put the wounded?
25836	Where''s there?
25836	Which ambulance will he go out with?
25836	Whom could I want but Smith? 25836 Why are n''t they decorating you?
25836	Why are you here?
25836	Why ca n''t they hurry them out?
25836	Why did n''t you go on with it?
25836	Why do n''t you go into Dixmude?
25836	Why do you want to go and get yourself mixed up in it? 25836 Why does n''t he walk?"
25836	Why not?
25836	Why the double tires?
25836	Why,said Hilda, her eyes filling,"what do you mean?"
25836	Will I identify him?
25836	Will they have a chance to play somewhere? 25836 Will you come back?"
25836	Will you come?
25836	Will you sit down and join us?
25836	You did this for black men?
25836	You have to go?
25836	You realize, do n''t you,she said,"that Belgium did n''t bring on this war?
25836	You really want to know?
25836	You''re most as proud of that car as I am,she said;"it''s sort of your car, too, is n''t it?"
25836	You''re not going in?
25836	_ Comment?_asked one of them.
25836	And the children still in pain, here and everywhere in Belgium-- will it be made up to them?
25836	And this gay thing, what principality gave you this?"
25836	And was not that their King, standing over yonder on the pavement, higher than the generals and statesmen on the steps of the Town- hall back of him?
25836	Barkleigh?"
25836	But you-- what brings you here?
25836	Ca n''t you take her out of the way?"
25836	Did he not carry on most of his converse with them in French-- always, when eloquent or sentimental?
25836	Do you know how he lifts his hand high over the keys and then drops suddenly upon them?"
25836	Do you wish Victor to remain?"
25836	Even his voice had changed, as he leaned forward and asked,"What does he say?"
25836	Go and sell all that I have and give to the poor?"
25836	Good heavens, what is that?"
25836	If we allowed it regularly, what would become of the fighting?
25836	It seems almost a pity, does n''t it, to smash this beauty and hunt these nice people?"
25836	It was a visitation, was n''t it?
25836	Now, why do n''t you come and see for yourself?
25836	She had grown weary of telling folks at home how matters stood, and then having them say,"Fancy now, really?"
25836	She is very ill?"
25836	Swift, is it not?"
25836	Tall and slender, crowned with youth and beauty, did he not hold in his hand the hearts of all his people?
25836	That little girl whom you touched--""The hair,"he said,"did you see her hair?
25836	There were the cars, and here were the workers, but just what do you do?
25836	To England?
25836	To a new continent?
25836	VIII THE WAR BABY"A baby?"
25836	What can fifty men do against four or five machine guns?
25836	What had she done to deserve such lucky eminence?
25836	What happened to set this fluttering?"
25836	What stranger- city will give him back his memories?
25836	What were we to do?
25836	What''s that?"
25836	Where can he go to be at home?
25836	Where can his thought turn when it would heal itself?
25836	Where would you have been without money?"
25836	Who of the Belgian army did not know those three unquenchable women living up by the trenches on the Yser?
25836	Why are you out here?
25836	Why did he say it?
25836	Why is n''t a hospital good enough for you, back in Furnes or Dunkirk?"
25836	Why take on the ugly hazards of exile?
25836	Why was she chosen to serve at the furthest outpost where risk and opportunity went hand in hand?
25836	Will a million of indemnity give them back their playtime?
25836	Will you come?"
25836	Will you do it?"
25836	Will you go to Pervyse and stay?
25836	Will you help me get them?"
25836	You have heard it?"
25836	You talk heatedly but what are you saying?
58509	''Are you whole, my boy?'' 58509 ''Where is the Major?''
58509	And do you believe such tales?
58509	Are we both of the same mind?
58509	Are we going to the assault?
58509	Are you suffering much?
58509	Ask your mothers who are waiting for you, over yonder, in the deepest anguish, where they go in their sorrow and suffering? 58509 But, are you not aware that the Germans may enter the town from one minute to another?"
58509	Can I have my wounds dressed, Lieutenant?
58509	Do you know that Château- Thierry has been occupied to- day by the Germans, and that they have now left the town?
58509	Do you see them?
58509	Doctor, Doctor, am I going to be left here?
58509	Go to the darkest nave of a church, at a moment when the crowd is not bidden to the traditional exercises of worship, and what do you see? 58509 Have you been informed that some Belgian troops are coming to Soissons to- morrow to take the train?"
58509	Hi there, what are you doing? 58509 How long do you think the war will last?"
58509	I have done my duty, Major,he said,"have n''t I?
58509	Is Collyns still there and can I count on him?
58509	Is anyone hit?
58509	Is it you, Hubert?
58509	Is that you M----?
58509	Is there nothing more to be done then?
58509	Just at this moment,said the latter,"a German officer shouted:''What must we do with the prisoners?''"
58509	Let''s go then, shall we?
58509	Lieutenant, can we go out on patrol round the N---- Farm and have a look to see whether there''s any Boches inside?
58509	Lieutenant, could I have my arm seen to?
58509	Lieutenant,he began,"if we could just have a look in at the little farm over yonder?"
58509	News of the assault?
58509	On patrol... in a boat you mean?
58509	Shall we give up the General?
58509	The farm? 58509 We are through with it, are we not, Doctor?"
58509	Well, d''Ursel,I said,"how do you feel?"
58509	Well,I said,"are you not proud to take part in the firing?
58509	What about the 53rd?
58509	What am I going to do,he asked,"for I can not sit down again?"
58509	What are you telling me?
58509	What are your orders, Lieutenant?
58509	What do you propose doing?
58509	What for?
58509	What is the matter?
58509	What is the meaning of this joke, Colonel?
58509	What is the meaning of this? 58509 What''s the matter?"
58509	What''s the news?
58509	Where are the others?
58509	Where are you going?
58509	Where can I find some civilian''s clothes?
58509	Where is it to be found?
58509	Where is it?
58509	Who goes there?
58509	Who is hit?
58509	Who is to do it?
58509	Who sent you?
58509	You mean a sacrifice?
58509	''Why should my life be cut in two by this mutilation?''
58509	''Why should my youth come to an end half way?
58509	..."What happened?
58509	And of what use is all that blood poured out obscurely in the trenches?''
58509	And what is left now of all this?
58509	Are you all of the same mind still?"
58509	Are you satisfied with me?"
58509	As soon as it was daylight, my first idea was to try to get a map, but how was I to find it in a town that was asleep?
58509	Before he had even opened his eyes, he answered:"Ah, it is you, Major?"
58509	Can I count on a reinforcement?"
58509	Can the glory that surrounds you with its halo not cover the remains of your poor profaned bodies?
58509	Could our army possibly resist these endless assaults?
58509	Cross that frontier?
58509	Do you remember this, General?
58509	Every minute we could hear someone asking:"Where is the Major?"
58509	From time to time, I called out to the men who were firing haphazard:"What are you aiming at?
58509	Had he been hit at the last hole?''
58509	Had he been hit, we wondered?
58509	Had he come up from underground or had he fallen from the skies?
58509	Had the Germans really followed that itinerary and had they managed to come unseen across the waste land of the Vignes and so enter the town?
58509	Had they made off?
58509	He wondered why the telephonists did not arrive, and whether the poor wretches had been shot down?
58509	How am I to describe Frentzen?
58509	How many men were under the ruins?
58509	How should we ever escape?
58509	How were we to rejoin the Belgian army, when we did not know where it was?
58509	I said to the young cyclist:"How much did you give for your map?"
58509	I wondered what this meant?
58509	Is there no one to help him?"
58509	Just then a voice called out:"What fool has opened the door, letting in the cold?"
58509	May I have the honour of taking views of your motor- car in fighting position?"
58509	Ought I to return to our fortified position of Liége or stay and defend the passages of the river?
58509	Our retreat was obligatory, but the question was, Could the destruction of the Battalion be avoided?
58509	That one?
58509	The idea was good, but the question was how to communicate with the Fort?
58509	The march was long, the horses exhausted, the temperature very high, and the Uhlans sometimes very near indeed, but what did all that matter?
58509	The question is who will go and take the information?"
58509	The question now was would he reach the top of the ladder or not?
58509	The question was would they have strength enough to start again and to continue their march as far as Couthuin, where the 28th had gone?
58509	The question was, Where did this firing come from?
58509	They were certainly Boches, but what were they doing there, as their own shells were falling near them?
58509	They would stand by him to the very death and his greatest pride was to be able to reply to the General''s question:"Are you sure of your men?"
58509	To cross that frontier meant the end for the time being of our resistance.... What would be done with us there?
58509	To- day I was here and, as I watched him coming in, I was just beginning to cry out:''Sergeant, what are you doing?''
58509	Was he killed, or had he only disappeared?
58509	Was it a man that had been flung into the air?
58509	Was it fatigue or torpor?
58509	Was it possible?
58509	Was my mission ended, as the bridges no longer existed?
58509	Was their nightmare over?
58509	Was this the one?
58509	Was this to be the end of everything?
58509	We began to wonder where the French army was, or whether a French army existed?
58509	We began to wonder whether our line had been broken?
58509	We wondered what would happen?
58509	We wondered whether this could be a trap for us?
58509	Were these men Alvensleben and his friends?
58509	Were they really not dreaming now?
58509	What did I now see, though?
58509	What drama was hidden under the contact of these two bodies?
58509	What had become of the gunners?
58509	What had become of the troops which had charge of the defence of the bridge?
58509	What had happened to our brave Colonel Jacques, to Captain Philippron, and to their comrades?
58509	What had these troops come to do here?
58509	What happened to him?
58509	What is the matter?"
58509	What is the reason of all this suffering?
58509	What pen can ever faithfully depict the havoc that seventeen months of war have made of the exquisite Flemish city we had all known and loved?
58509	What was I to do?
58509	What was going to happen next?
58509	What was going to happen?
58509	What was happening?
58509	What was the meaning of the disorder?
58509	What was the meaning of this wonderful silence?
58509	What was to be done?
58509	What was underneath all that?
58509	What were we to believe?
58509	What would be the outcome, we wondered?
58509	When we were trying to avoid a stream about three yards wide, a German asked:"Is that the Yser?"
58509	When would the hour of deliverance ring out for them and for all of us?
58509	Where are they?
58509	Where were we to go though?
58509	Which of the two had lived to see the other die?
58509	Who goes there?"
58509	Who volunteers?"
58509	Why are you here sick and wounded, with your arm or your leg amputated, scarred for ever in the beauty and prime of your early manhood?
58509	Why is all this?
58509	Why should I be doomed to drag out a miserable existence?
58509	Why?
58509	Would they--?
58509	he called out, and then, in a lower tone, he added,"They have crossed the frontier, we are alone.... Have you any men?"
58509	is everything ready?"
58509	we suddenly exclaimed"and what about the man we picked up and put at the back of the motor- car?"
51716	Do you suppose,said a German at Louvain,"that we''ve got time to make inquiries?"
51716	If God be for us, who can be against us? 51716 What displeases them?"
51716	Who are you?
51716	Why,our adversaries ask us,"did you not accept the proposals of Germany?
51716	Why,say the Germans,"do not Belgian employés return to their work, since our military trains would in any case be run by our own men?"
51716	You say that a good cause sanctifies even war? 51716 [ 36] Did the Germans make any attempt to reply to the denial?
51716	_ What shall we say of the accusations made against Belgian civilians? 51716 (_ c_) How did these brothers, who read no newspapers and never spoke, know of the existence of dirigibles? 51716 (_ g_) Since when have the Jesuit convents owned farms, etc., or been equipped with hay- forks, manure- forks, spades, hay- carts, etc.? 51716 ***** What, then, were the real reasons for invading our country? 51716 A provocation of what or whom? 51716 After that, who can doubt that systematic lying forms part of the duties of an officer towards his men? 51716 And what did really happen in the other two communes mentioned? 51716 And what was the result of our courtesy? 51716 And when they were at last sent home, how were they treated? 51716 Are the engagements of the Berlin Government anything more than so many scraps of paper, which may with impunity be declared null and void? 51716 Are there no cross- roads leading to the windmill? 51716 Are they assailed unexpectedly by soldiers of the enemy''s army? 51716 Are they not rather spiritless courtiers, we might almost say like the sheep of Panurge? 51716 Are we then going to vote this formidable war- tax? 51716 But can they really be sincere? 51716 But was it in France that this review took place, during the present war? 51716 But what? 51716 But why was so credulous and so suggestible a person selected to search out and punishfrancs- tireurs"?
51716	By what name shall we call the German''s sense of superiority over all other nations: is it pride, presumption, or impudence?
51716	By whom?
51716	Can we doubt after this that phrases have been suppressed in this portion of the document?
51716	Certain communes permitted themselves the malicious delight of inquiring of the Germans whether they must recall the pupils for the 8th of April?
51716	Could candour in perfidy go any farther?
51716	Could one imagine a finer example of preconceived opinion?
51716	Did part of this go to the spy?
51716	Did the Germans at least show the consideration which the slave- dealers used to show for their black cargo?
51716	Did the raid really take place?
51716	Do not the Germans realize how utterly this practice is contrary to the humane principles enjoined by Article 4 of the Hague Convention?
51716	Do these paladins of tact and delicacy show any greater respect for our Queen?
51716	Do you not agree that a cynicism so shameless is a sign of perplexity and an admission of impotence?
51716	Does Herr Nissen really doubt the sincerity of our anti- German manifestations?
51716	Does not this simple fact reveal the habitual squeezing to which our poor country is subjected?
51716	Does this mean that we believe in the story of civilians attacking the German army?
51716	Does this mean that we excuse the fishers in troubled waters who sacked the German shops?
51716	Finally, one may ask what the gunners are aiming at on this seashore, with their small gun?
51716	For that matter, how could they have disavowed the thefts of their men, seeing that they themselves largely took part in the scramble?
51716	Had he at least the excuse of believing what he said?
51716	Had he seen it first?)
51716	Had our butchers renounced their attempts at terrorization?
51716	Has their Press for that reason ceased to make use of it?
51716	Hatred?
51716	Have any French troops passed this way?
51716	Have there been cases of repression?
51716	Have they any artillery?
51716	Have they never seen the train- loads of"war- booty"entering Germany?
51716	Have you seen cavalry too?
51716	He came up to me and asked:"Why are you here?"
51716	He turned to the soldiers and asked, pointing to each of us:"Did that one fire?"
51716	How could they have imagined that"the civilized world"would accept their affirmations and their denials?
51716	How else can we conceive that soldiers would post themselves in a garden and thence fire their rifles into the streets?
51716	How many civil prisoners were there in the various camps of Germany: Celle, Gutersloh, Magdeburg, Münster, Salzwedel, Cassel, Senne, Soltau, etc.?
51716	How many guns?
51716	How many officers, roughly speaking?
51716	How then can any one believe that the French were massed close to our frontier as early as 3rd August?
51716	How to obtain their submission?
51716	How was it to be effected?
51716	How were our German bumpkins going to make this much too subtle distinction between provocative and non- provocative display?
51716	How will it end?
51716	In all logic, was it not Belgium that was in a state of legitimate defence; was it not for Belgium that all means were good?
51716	In other words, was she sincere in declaring that she knew that France was on the point of invading Belgium?
51716	Is it an ineradicable spirit of falsehood?
51716	Is it as pastors that they stand forth as the stern defenders of the rights of truth?
51716	Is it not a matter of public notoriety that a contract is merely a scrap of paper?
51716	Is it not obvious that if our railway- men resumed their labours they would at the same time facilitate the transport of German troops and munitions?
51716	Is it not obvious that such pitiful psychologists as the Germans will resort to intimidation to reduce this population to their mercy?
51716	Is it not typical and delightful, this German cult of the"souvenir"as a veneer of sentimentality on a basis of rapacity?
51716	Is this incurable blindness?
51716	Leman according to which the German troops have never ill- treated priests( p. 72), nor touched the property of the Church?
51716	Let us now ask if Germany had such suspicions of France as amounted to a semi- certitude?
51716	Moreover, where and how could the discs of fulminating cotton have been procured?
51716	Must they not plough and sow, under penalty of preparing for themselves another year of wretchedness?
51716	Need we add that the wine- cellars were always methodically exploited?
51716	None of these theories is new: how often does a German develop a_ new_ theory?
51716	None: why attempt the impossible?
51716	Note that the Wolff Agency reported only 10,000 prisoners; where did Major Scheunemann find the other 11,000?
51716	Now the priests had been prisoners since 2.0 o''clock of the afternoon; how then could they have ascended the tower at 5.30 p.m.?
51716	Now what is meant by this"pretended danger"?
51716	Now, how are the parents guilty, if their son intends at all costs to fulfil his obligations to his native country?
51716	Of course, it did not keep its engagements; for what engagement did our enemies ever keep?
51716	Of their national sentiment?
51716	On which side is the right?
51716	One of these, entitled_ What is the Cause of the Severity of the War?_ is curious for more reasons than one.
51716	Or does it make an effort to procure foreign publications?
51716	P. 176-- Is this village occupied by the French?
51716	P. 177-- Has the village been placed in a state of defence?
51716	Pretended by whom?
51716	Roughly?
51716	Shall we take another example of duplicity?
51716	Should we really classify them under the heading of"falsehoods"?
51716	Sir, where does this road lead?
51716	THE"REPRISALS AGAINST FRANCS- TIREURS"63 Murders Committed by the Germans from the Outset-- Were there any"Francs- tireurs?"
51716	The expenditure might be a minor matter, but what of the waste of time?
51716	The first question which occurs to us is: Was France really preparing to cross our territory, and had she massed troops near our frontier?
51716	Then there are useful cruelties?
51716	This is very vague as to the political relations between the two countries: are they at war, or are they not?
51716	Through lack of conscience or insolence?
51716	Two or three companies?
51716	Was he sincere?
51716	Was it not necessary to prevent the Belgians from going to join the Allies in the direction of Flanders?
51716	Was the summary honest?
51716	Was the tribunal authentic, or was it merely a parody?
51716	Well, and what of ours, which the Governor- General was not asking us to renounce?
51716	Were the béguines perhaps"francs- tireurs"?
51716	What are we to think of Baron von der Goltz, whose proclamations state that the innocent and guilty will be punished without distinction?
51716	What can the army do with raw cotton, wools, spun cotton, nickel, jute, etc.?
51716	What did the Germans do then?
51716	What did the Germans do?
51716	What did the Germans mean by that?
51716	What do we see?
51716	What does official Germany say upon this point?
51716	What guarantee have they that the locomotives will not serve to transport German troops, or munitions intended to kill our brothers?
51716	What is an army of occupation?
51716	What is roughly their composition?
51716	What of it?
51716	What other horrors shall we learn of when tongues are again unloosed?
51716	What truth was there in the last assertion?
51716	What was to be done in such a case?
51716	What was to be done?
51716	What weight would not these revelations have lent to his arguments?
51716	What were the Germans to do now?
51716	What were the rights of our enemies in these exceptional cases?
51716	What will the superficial reader conclude if he does not take the trouble to dissect the telegrams?
51716	What would Herr Schmidt say if he knew that it was his own countrymen who, in a fit of shameless cynicism, caused this inscription to be renovated?
51716	What, then, is the conclusion forced upon us?
51716	What, then, is the meaning of the first telegram posted in Brussels-- that of the 25th August, in which no mention of the burgomaster occurs?
51716	When did the troops arrive there?
51716	Where is your pocket- book?
51716	Which, then, are those that our persecutors forbid?
51716	Who is"we?"
51716	Why did they expel Justice?
51716	Why not to Tamines?
51716	Why then does he persist in asserting that England would not have intervened had France been the country to violate our neutrality?
51716	Why this opposition to a faithful search for the truth?
51716	Why was the ceremony suppressed?
51716	Why, then, do the Germans profess to be annoyed when compared to- day with the soldiers of Attila-- or when their motto is spelt_ Gott mit Huns_?
51716	Why?
51716	Will they ever recover from such an experience?
51716	Would it have been astonishing if the Belgians, exasperated by this unspeakable aggression, had seized their rifles?
51716	Would it not be preferable to exploit Belgium scientifically, so as to make her yield as much as possible?
51716	Would they report the two incidents, making as little of them as possible, or would they keep silence?
51716	Would you have proof?
51716	_ German Admission of the Innocence of the Civil Prisoners._ What crime had these unhappy folk committed to be treated in so terrible a fashion?
51716	_ The Abolition of Free Discussion in Germany._ What am I saying?
51716	_ Treatment of Civil Prisoners._ What was done with the men not killed?
51716	should the Belgians and the British have waited until the Germans were in Belgium before thinking of measures of defence?
46968	A regular American Wild West show over here in Belgium, raking in the coin this last summer? 46968 All through?"
46968	And Bumpus, after all what does it matter how you get to Antwerp so long as you pull up there sooner or later?
46968	And could we be allowed to keep on to Antwerp, sir?
46968	And do you notice the gray uniforms they are wearing?
46968	And how far from Antwerp?
46968	And this is really Belgium we''re running over?
46968	And you mean to take it, do you, Thad?
46968	Are you only saying that in a general way, or do you know something?
46968	But are you a German?
46968	But could n''t you make an exception in our case?
46968	But if you had the chance again would you allow it to be done?
46968	But if, as you say, you were in Germany when the Kaiser''s troops crossed over into Belgium, how happens it you are here? 46968 But we do n''t mean to give up yet, do we?"
46968	But what can we do when the whole country is just swarming with soldiers, all heading in the direction of the border?
46968	But what do you suppose this means, Thad?
46968	But what on earth could he be doing away up there?
46968	But why does this young m''sieu speak the hated language?
46968	But, Thad, that does n''t mean we''ve got to hand them over the old car, does it?
46968	But, Thad,objected Allan,"you know what we heard about all cars?
46968	Did he act as if he felt disappointed at our wanting to stand guard over our old car?
46968	Did they only get their heads together and talk?
46968	Did you ask him if he cared to sell the old trap, Giraffe?
46968	Did you pick up any information worth while, Giraffe?
46968	Do n''t you see which way they''re going?
46968	Do n''t you understand that German is in bad favor through Belgium just now? 46968 Do we give up the ship at the first storm, Thad?"
46968	Do we have to give in so tamely as all that?
46968	Do we take the right or the left branch?
46968	Do you know what I believe?
46968	Do you like being a freak?
46968	Do you mean by a ferry?
46968	Do you mean for their own use, Giraffe?
46968	Do you mean he thinks we want to consider him our prisoner?
46968	Do you mean we''ll hoof it, Thad?
46968	Do you really mean that we''re going to start out into the west, Thad?
46968	Do you suspect the landlord knows anything about the raid, if there is going to be one?
46968	Do you think he would go to the trouble to inform some of the military authorities of his suspicions, and get them after us?
46968	Failing that,said Giraffe,"what''s to hinder hiring a farmer and his horse to pull the machine along to town?
46968	Find out what bust, Thad?
46968	Gas tank getting low, is it?
46968	Germans?
46968	Giraffe, would you mind bending over and pinching me?
46968	Guess you know now why your dad would n''t let you learn to run your big touring car at home, do n''t you, Bumpus?
46968	He did n''t say how many there were in this bunch, did he, Thad?
46968	He took the money, of course?
46968	Hold on, Bumpus, you forget that you''ve got a game leg, do n''t you?
46968	How about getting rid of the boat that''s carried us down the Rhine so splendidly?
46968	How about taking us on his ferryboat, Giraffe?
46968	How are they doing now?
46968	How are we going to get him down?
46968	How can it be reached from this road?
46968	How do we know but what these Belgians are so patriotic they think it only right strangers should be made to contribute to the good of their army? 46968 How far away is Rotterdam, Thad?"
46968	How far away is the town you mention?
46968	How goes the mad whirl now, Allan?
46968	How many others did he talk to, Giraffe?
46968	I hope you have n''t changed your mind, Thad?
46968	I hope you will not think it necessary to detain us, sergeant?
46968	I only hope she holds out till we''re safe over the border, do n''t you, Giraffe?
46968	I should say so; and you could n''t change it, I suppose?
46968	I wonder how far we''ll get before they jump out at us?
46968	I wonder now if that can be an inn we see ahead there?
46968	I''m wondering what that queer far- off throbbing sound can be?
46968	If he does n''t show up could n''t we take charge of the boat and run her across to the other side?
46968	If we had to come to it, would you try to get across the line there, Thad?
46968	Is that a fact?
46968	Is there an inn in that town, Giraffe?
46968	Is there any one here who talks English?
46968	Limberg, you said, did n''t you, Allan?
46968	Look here,said Thad, sternly,"did you try any of your German on them?"
46968	Looks as if we''re bound to run the whole gamut of car troubles before we''re done with this machine, does n''t it?
46968	Mebbe it''s that silly old gas tank again?
46968	Of course we strike out over the middle one, Thad?
46968	Ought we to keep on and try to get across that bridge, Thad?
46968	Remember what Thad said about our hanging to you all the way through, do n''t you? 46968 Saw what, a boa constrictor from the menagerie?"
46968	Say, do you really believe motors can understand the English language?
46968	Say, looky here what''s bearing down on us, Thad, will you?
46968	See him take in our little American flags, will you?
46968	See that tall, bushy tree, Thad?
46968	Sure of what?
46968	Tell me about that, will you?
46968	Thad, do you take any stock in that idea?
46968	Thad, how''s it coming on?
46968	Thad, it might be they thought we left something valuable in the car, such as a pair of expensive field- glasses, you know?
46968	Thad, of course we''re bound to strike that river again, if we keep on heading into the northwest?
46968	Thad, what would you call that thing away off yonder? 46968 Thad, you would n''t think of going on and leaving him there, I hope?"
46968	That means the man up yonder will turn out to be a German aviator, does n''t it, Thad?
46968	That would mean if it kept on straight it would finally bring up at the Holland border, would n''t it?
46968	That''s queer,muttered the fat scout, who would not stay squelched;"why do people go around taking cars if not for themselves, I''d like to know?"
46968	Then I go, do I, Thad?
46968	Then perhaps you can give us an idea what causes it?
46968	Then they want to make us an offer for the car in the morning?
46968	Then we stop over, do we?
46968	Then why should you hesitate about starting along that one?
46968	Then you claim that this man whom you aided was a German aviator, do you?
46968	Then you''ve been having a hard time, I take it?
46968	They did n''t offer to bother you, did they, Giraffe?
46968	Think he''ll get clear of his enemies, Thad?
46968	Think of me taking all that trouble for a fike not much bigger''n a postage stamp?
46968	Think we want you to get choking pretty soon, and scare us half to death?
46968	Thinking about your grub, ai n''t you, Bumpus?
46968	This one has been brought up on either German or French, and how would it know I was boasting? 46968 Thought I was never coming, did n''t you?"
46968	Was it our car they looked over?
46968	Was it that note you just took from under the lining of your hat?
46968	Was that it about a mile back, leading off to the right as we came along?
46968	We can only hope it serves our purpose, and after that who cares?
46968	Well, how much further do we have to go before we get to the Dutch line?
46968	Well, talking is n''t going to help us any, so what do you say we get busy?
46968	Well, what''s to be done about it?
46968	What about the car, Thad?
46968	What about you, Allan?
46968	What ails the old shebang, Thad?
46968	What ails you, Giraffe?
46968	What are you aiming to do next?
46968	What can I do, Thad?
46968	What can have happened to cause it?
46968	What did he say about Grevenbroich, Giraffe?
46968	What do you figure can be the matter, Thad?
46968	What do you think has gone wrong, Thad?
46968	What do you think he means to do, now he''s got the money?
46968	What for, Thad?
46968	What for?
46968	What if he does n''t show up to- night, Thad?
46968	What is his lowest figure in cash?
46968	What is it, Giraffe?
46968	What is it?
46968	What makes you say so?
46968	What makes you think it''s the crossing where we strike Holland?
46968	What might that be?
46968	What shall we do now, Thad?
46968	What were you limping about the last part of the way, Bumpus?
46968	What''s all the row about, Giraffe?
46968	What''s coming next, Thad?
46968	What''s the idea in doing that?
46968	What''s the last word about this business, Thad?
46968	What''s the plan of campaign, then, Thad?
46968	What''s this?
46968	What''s wrong now?
46968	What, is there another chapter to the story?
46968	When danger comes along a scout should n''t say,''How many are there of the enemy,''but just shout out,''Where are they, so I can get busy?''
46968	Where did you get this car?
46968	Where''s poor little Benjy, Giraffe?
46968	Why should it, Giraffe?
46968	Why, hello-- we did n''t make all that dust back there, did we?
46968	Why, is this really the mouth of the Rhine?
46968	Why, what does your chart say?
46968	Will Great Britain fight, do you think, Thad?
46968	Will we have to turn back again so as to keep from having a row?
46968	Would it pay us to make an offer for the discard?
46968	Would you know the name of this German Taube operator if you heard it again, boy?
46968	Yes, that''s easy for you to say,complained poor Bumpus,"but think of me, wo n''t you?
46968	Yet you have been allowed to proceed this far in peace, it seems?
46968	You do n''t blame me, I feel sure, Giraffe?
46968	You do n''t think they bothered our car, do you, Thad?
46968	You do n''t think they''ll burn the house, do you, Thad?
46968	You''re a bit worried for fear we''ll run smack into some of the fighting that seems to have been going on over that way-- is that it, Thad?
46968	Are we intending to haul off and try to defend ourselves, or do we just throw up our hands and tell''em we surrender?
46968	But have you arranged your plan, Thad?
46968	But how far do we have to go, Allan?"
46968	But if both of them happened to be crippled that would n''t keep me from feeling hungry, would it?"
46968	But we agreed to make the best of it, and so what''s the use of knocking?"
46968	Did you ever hear of one of his kind shoving any cold cash aside when it was offered to him?"
46968	Get that name, do you?"
46968	Giraffe remarked;"but I say, what''s going to happen, now that you''ve pulled up here at the forks?"
46968	Giraffe, you''re a good friend of mine, ai n''t you?
46968	Have I your permission to tell you about this adventure, sir?"
46968	He can scent an onion frying half a mile away, ca n''t you, Bumpus?"
46968	He was not much surprised when the officer demanded:"Could you tell from the build of the aeroplane what sort of a machine it may have been, boy?"
46968	How can I spring like a frog when she starts to go backward down the hill again?
46968	How could it be otherwise when he had the backing of such loyal chums?
46968	How could we look back without turning fiery red every time we remembered such a cowardly act?
46968	I wonder how it would do for me to shout out that word as we come up?"
46968	I''m shivering yet with the excitement; just feel my hand, will you, Giraffe?"
46968	I''m wet up to my knees, all right; but I got dear little Benjy, did n''t I?"
46968	I''ve got a blanket here for you, see?"
46968	If anything exciting comes along just give me a jolt, will you, Bumpus?"
46968	If it should shrink when he tried to dry it, whatever would he do for another?"
46968	If the poor old tramp refuses to make the climb, however are we to get over the rise?"
46968	Indeed, what else could they believe, after seeing the woman carrying on in such a wild way?
46968	Just imagine our Bumpus with a pair of those wide trousers on, and wooden shoes to finish him off, would you?
46968	Kaiser, do n''t you want to buy a dog?
46968	Leave it to us, and we''ll get him down out of that, eh, Thad?"
46968	Now, ready, Giraffe?
46968	So they have a rowdy element here too, do they?
46968	Speak plainer, ca n''t you?"
46968	Surely you will not want to keep us here against our will, where we would be a burden on you, and with four more mouths to fill?"
46968	Thad, I hope you did n''t forget me when laying in that stock of cowhides?"
46968	Thad, can you guess it?
46968	Thad, had n''t we better take a chance, and say we''ve tasted one meal in Holland?"
46968	Thad, we''ll never forget this kindness, will we?"
46968	Thad, you wo n''t think of quitting this splendid view- place and losing the one chance we may ever have to see a real up- to- date battle?"
46968	The brief note written by the aviator whom they had aided-- might not that be of benefit to their cause?
46968	They would not let you come by way of Aachen, where the glorious army crossed the border?"
46968	Think you c''n fix it, Thad?"
46968	Understand that?"
46968	We''re across the line, Thad, would n''t you say?"
46968	What d''ye suppose it all means, Thad?"
46968	What is it you desire to say?"
46968	What made you change your minds?"
46968	What''s happened?"
46968	What''s that they''re holding so that the sun glints from the ends like it does when you use a glass in heliographing a message?
46968	What''s the end going to be, I''d like to know?"
46968	Where am I at?
46968	Where do you figure we are now, Thad?"
46968	With such a contrite culprit owning up to his faults what could Thad say?
46968	Would he have to consider himself a prisoner of war?
46968	Would you mind rubbing me in the middle of the back?
46968	You remember I told you about the chat I had with a young gunner who could talk United States?
46968	announced Giraffe,"and listen to the row, will you?
46968	did you see that?"
46968	do we have to really_ push_?"
46968	exclaimed the fat scout on noticing that even Allan joined them,"seems like we might all be in the same boat, does n''t it?"
46968	grunted Giraffe;"and, Thad, I suppose I''ll have to do the interpreter act again, if the chap does n''t talk United States?"
46968	have you got it, Thad?"
46968	he did, eh?"
46968	is there no end to the procession?"
46968	leave me alone, ca n''t you?"
46968	look at that, will you?"
46968	remarked Thad;"and do you see any one following after us, to watch, and find out what we do?"
46968	so we''re going on again, are we?
46968	what do you think of that?"
46968	what''s all this, anyway?
46968	what''s gone wrong now, I wonder?"
46968	what''s that mean, Thad?
46968	whatever has happened?"
46968	whatever is that ahead of us; and a towing rope in the bargain?
41090	Ah, how is M''sieur Valentin? 41090 Ah, then I know you?"
41090	Ah?
41090	Aimee?
41090	All are here?
41090	And what has Mademoiselle said?
41090	And whose work, pray, is this? 41090 And yet you defend him?"
41090	And you will really rejoin the Chasseurs- a- pied?
41090	And you, of course, must be justly proud, eh, Mademoiselle?
41090	Are you satisfied that I am leaving to your army a complete set, quite in working order-- eh?
41090	Awful-- is it not?
41090	Because of that good- looking_ avocat_--eh?
41090	Belgians?
41090	But Edmond?
41090	But are there not already violations of the French frontier, and also in Luxembourg? 41090 But are they killing people?"
41090	But can not you compel her to give up this man?
41090	But can the Germans enter the city?
41090	But do you really fear war, Edmond?
41090	But if Germany attacks us?
41090	But if the Germans come, what shall we do?
41090	But is Great Britain, with her splendid navy, really a broken reed?
41090	But surely you will not allow your daughter to marry a penniless lawyer?
41090	But there will not be fighting in Belgium-- surely?
41090	But what do you advise me to do, my friend? 41090 But what shall I do?"
41090	But what shall we do?
41090	But what will happen to us?
41090	But why was he unconscious?
41090	But will you not accept my offer, and escape with me?
41090	But you will not conquer Belgium-- eh?
41090	But, my darling?
41090	But-- but how?
41090	Culture?
41090	Do you advise me to leave Brussels?
41090	Do?
41090	Does he give any further news of the situation?
41090	For God and Belgium?
41090	Have I not tried, for weeks and weeks? 41090 Have you really seen all this?"
41090	He told us we should be quite safe here?
41090	Heaven knows?
41090	Hello?
41090	Here''s health to the Fatherland?
41090	Herr Rigaux-- eh?--and chauffeur?
41090	How can I ever hope to marry you?
41090	How can I prevent it?
41090	How can we save these poor women?
41090	How did you know I was here-- in Dinant? 41090 How do you know?"
41090	How? 41090 I feel so very faint, dear, that I really can go no farther?"
41090	If you do not have a care, you shall pay for this?
41090	Impossible?
41090	Is it best to stay here?
41090	Is that true?
41090	Is the Baron there?
41090	It gives you an_ entree_ to the better houses-- you can become a member of the_ Cercle Militaire_, and all that, but is it not all useless? 41090 Leman a prisoner?"
41090	Listen?
41090	My daughter and I have your word, m''sieur-- eh?
41090	My dear Jules?
41090	Never fear, darling?
41090	No, m''sieur, pardon?
41090	No, no?
41090	Of what?
41090	Poor creatures, they are suffering enough already,"But what will you do? 41090 S- s- sh, my friend?"
41090	Searching for me?
41090	So an advance is really being made towards Brussels and the Government has moved to Antwerp?
41090	So you are quite decided-- eh?
41090	Surely they will not come here?
41090	Surely you can not suspect me of pro- German sympathies? 41090 Tell me, why are you here-- in this place?
41090	Terrible, is it not? 41090 That you will never consent to marry that man, Arnaud Rigaux-- our enemy?"
41090	The intention, then, is first to destroy Belgium?
41090	The pigs shall die?
41090	Then your mother, the Baroness, may suspect-- eh?
41090	Then, if there is nothing else for us to discuss, I will go down and spend an hour with her-- eh?
41090	They have set the chateau on fire?
41090	They will?
41090	They will?
41090	This is defiance-- eh? 41090 This silly war- scare seems to please the people-- eh?"
41090	Unrest?
41090	War?
41090	Was it not your duty to tell the truth?
41090	We are attacked again?
41090	We have M''sieur Rigaux to thank for this?
41090	Well, my dear Arnaud?
41090	What are they doing? 41090 What can I do?
41090	What can have happened to him?
41090	What can they want with us? 41090 What can they want?"
41090	What condition?
41090	What do you advise, Edmond?
41090	What do you mean, m''sieur?
41090	What excitement there is in the streets-- eh?
41090	What is the latest from the front? 41090 What journal has given the news?
41090	What shall we do if they come?
41090	What shall we do?
41090	What, all alone, my dear Mademoiselle?
41090	What, you will bear the eight millions?
41090	What?
41090	Whatever can be happening below?
41090	Where is he?
41090	Who are you?
41090	Who goes there?
41090	Who is commanding the Eighth Chasseurs? 41090 Who is he?"
41090	Who knows, Mademoiselle? 41090 Who won?"
41090	Why are you here-- dressed as a German?
41090	Why are you here-- with the enemy, and in the enemy''s uniform?
41090	Why do you allow her still to meet the fellow?
41090	Why?
41090	Why?
41090	Would they come across in this direction, do you think?
41090	Wreck the place?
41090	You Uhlan?
41090	You are quite certain of this?
41090	You promise me that?
41090	You refuse to go with me-- eh?
41090	You refuse?
41090	You return to Brussels to- night-- eh?
41090	You say, then, that General Thalmann is in the pay of our enemies?
41090	You surely do n''t mean that, Arnaud?
41090	You swear that?
41090	_ Wat sullen wy doen_?
41090	( what is to be done?)
41090	A private who was reading the proclamation remarked to Edmond:"What trickery-- eh?
41090	And it will be awkward-- very awkward?"
41090	And what do you intend?"
41090	And, tell me-- why are you, a Belgian-- wearing the Prussian uniform?"
41090	Are you lying, Pierre?"
41090	Are you mad?"
41090	Are you really prepared for it?"
41090	Besides, have we not Russia-- a colossal power in Europe when she commences to move?
41090	But alas?"
41090	But without money will he take me in?"
41090	But, though only a defenceless girl, I am safer even in the hands of this barbarian enemy than in the hands of a traitor like you?"
41090	Can I give him any message?
41090	Can you doubt me?"
41090	Can you hear?"
41090	Do you know?"
41090	Germany intends to encroach upon our land?"
41090	Had the red tide of war yet reached high- up Severac, he wondered?
41090	Have you had any report from our friend Van Meenen, in Ostend?"
41090	Have you motored from Brussels?"
41090	Have you spoken to Mademoiselle Aimee again?"
41090	He placed his heavy hand upon her shoulder, saying, in his bad French:"My girl, you are young and very pretty-- to be sure?"
41090	Hear me?"
41090	Hello!--hello?"
41090	His words were overheard by Aimee, who rose quickly and came forward, asking:"What has happened?"
41090	How are you proceeding in Antwerp?"
41090	How can she dishonour her own signature?"
41090	How can you save me?"
41090	How could she protest further?
41090	How should they act?
41090	How would it end?
41090	I hope they will not kill us all?"
41090	I merely ask if I, with my two subordinate officers, may be permitted to join you at table this evening?"
41090	I would rather die first?"
41090	If Russia has mobilised, surely it can not concern us?"
41090	If so, of what use were treaties?
41090	Is she at home this evening?"
41090	Is your wireless here in working order?"
41090	It is a raging furnace outside?"
41090	It is fun to be in his house-- is it not?
41090	It is not fair, is it, Heinrich?"
41090	Look what I have lost-- what I stand to further lose-- eh?"
41090	Look?"
41090	May God place His curse upon these Germans?"
41090	May I tell Max that you will be at the Hotel de Ville at noon-- eh?"
41090	Now that the officers were drunk, what hope was there for the Kaiser''s barbaric savages in the servants''hall?
41090	Now your telephone was cut at noon to- day, was it not, and you are wondering?
41090	Our friends in Liege have been warned, I suppose?"
41090	Retire or advance, what does it matter?
41090	Rigaux glanced at the closed door rather apprehensively, and then in a low voice asked:"What does it all mean?"
41090	Should she tell the Baroness the truth?
41090	So you, Valentin, it seems, have put a sudden end to this man''s dastardly career-- eh?"
41090	Surely you believe that I love you, and that being so, how could I possibly consent to marry Monsieur Rigaux?"
41090	That morning peace had reigned-- but alas, now?
41090	The girl, though defenceless, drew herself up quickly, and replied in German, with the words:"I see no reason why you should insult me?"
41090	The_ onder- officier_ with the gun laughed gaily to Edmond, saying in Flemish:"Our friends yonder will not like this-- eh?"
41090	Then she asked:"Can not you billet your men upon the villagers below, in the valley?"
41090	They are all drunk, Madame-- the beasts are all drunk?"
41090	They are firing upon them from the citadel?"
41090	Though you have uttered words of love to me, I see you now, exposed as a spy-- as an enemy-- as one who should be tried and shot as a traitor?"
41090	Was he lying still and dead-- buried perhaps in a nameless grave-- or was he still fighting valiantly in defence of his country and his King?
41090	Was it any wonder that many poor wretches went stark mad with terror?
41090	Was it possible that a traitor was in command of Edmond''s brigade?
41090	Was she dreaming?
41090	Was the fight subsiding?
41090	We buy them all whenever we desire their favour-- do we not?"
41090	Well, and what do you think of all this very alarming news-- eh?"
41090	Well, the truth is that the Germans occupied Brussels at eleven o''clock this morning?"
41090	Were the men below drunk, like their officers?
41090	What a surprise our big howitzers will be for the forts of Namur and Liege-- eh?"
41090	What can have happened?"
41090	What can you do?
41090	What could he advise?
41090	What could the end be?
41090	What could they do?
41090	What do you suggest?"
41090	What do you think-- eh?"
41090	What else do you know?"
41090	What if England defied this sabre- rattling of Germany, and declared war to protect Belgium?
41090	What is it?"
41090	What is that smoke; there-- away to the left?"
41090	What is the opinion here?"
41090	What on earth have we to fear?"
41090	What shall you do with these women?"
41090	What would his friends the Belgians say, or do, if they had known he had possessed such a document?
41090	When shall we ever have a victory?"
41090	Where was Edmond?
41090	Who goes there?"
41090	Who knows?
41090	Why are they not here to help us-- eh?
41090	Why are you not in Brussels?
41090	Why not go to the Hotel de l''Epee yonder, up the street, and remain there till morning?
41090	Why should anybody''s signature be honoured further, either in business or in social life?
41090	Will you and your friends take part in it?"
41090	Will you speak, Mademoiselle?"
41090	Will you, darling?"
41090	Will you, please?
41090	Would Great Britain stand by Belgium?
41090	Yet of what use was it all?
41090	You already have your safe- conduct, have you not?"
41090	You are going to Brussels, I suppose?"
41090	You!--fancy_ you here_, just at the moment when--""When-- what?"
41090	always fearing--""What?"
41090	and, indicating the young man, she asked,"What has this gentleman been telling you?"
41090	gasped the Baroness--"the fiends!--those hell- fiends of the Emperor?"
41090	hello?"
41090	what an unpleasant surprise they will have?"
41090	what we will now do with this snug home of yours?"
41090	where is he, Mademoiselle?"
26645	A heavy price?
26645	Ah-- swim across?
26645	And how it ended?
26645	And no need, I presoom, to mention a matter of a few cigarettes the orfizer had to dispose of-- cheap?
26645	And what do you here?
26645	And what is that for?
26645	And what sum will it be, Herr von Schenkendorf? 26645 And yet how_ can_ we pass by, Dale?"
26645	Another week and it will be all over, and we shall be at the Head of the River for the first time-- what?
26645	Are we in any danger?
26645	Are you going to work this morning?
26645	Are you sure?
26645	Aye; accumulate a store of our own ready for the day we want them?
26645	Aye; but how so?
26645	Business, eh?
26645	But surely you have done enough, Max?
26645	But they, too, are Belgians, are they not?
26645	But what about Dubec? 26645 But what is your game really?
26645	But you know of Monsieur Max----?
26645	But you will come back, of course, Durend?
26645	Ca n''t you purchase food from the peasants?
26645	Could you follow what was said well enough to understand why they rounded on Schenk, or Schenkendorf, as his name seems to be?
26645	Could you not find out?
26645	D''ye see that smoke yonder, lad?
26645	D''ye think we can get through anywhere about here without too much of a rumpus?
26645	Did we expect to git out of this show alive?
26645	Did you find any grub?
26645	Do n''t you like raiding the railway?
26645	Do you think they will treat us as they do escaped prisoners or fugitives after a battle at their very frontier?
26645	Does n''t this give us away to the enemy?
26645	Give me a bit of cover, a packet of cigarettes, and a hundred rounds, and I''ll die happy-- eh, Corp?
26645	Have I reason to?
26645	Have you then forgotten the power- house and the coal- yard?
26645	I know you''ve done some neat little things in Liége, but could you manage a better affair out here? 26645 I suppose Schenk will have taken all the firm''s cash?"
26645	I''d give something to see their faces now-- wouldn''t you, Max?
26645	I----What''s the matter?
26645	If they''re cavalry had n''t we better retreat through the most broken country we can find?
26645	If your friend can get me well- paid work, can he not advance money to my mother, Monsieur Schenk?
26645	In public, sir?
26645	Is Dubec following?
26645	Is it a bargain?
26645	Is it a signal, or what?
26645	Is it bad news?
26645	Is the man dead?
26645	It hardly looks as though they ever will be, does it, Monsieur Max? 26645 It is women they are ill- treating-- how can we walk away?"
26645	Madame Dubec''s?
26645	Now what shall we do, Max? 26645 Now, Dale, what are you going to do?"
26645	See that, Max?
26645	See this?
26645	Semi- final won by a clear length-- eh?
26645	So you know that the shops are mined, but do not know where the wires run?
26645	So?
26645	So_ you_ do think you can do better? 26645 Surely our raid on the power- house can not have done that?"
26645	That looks serious, eh?
26645	The new men are German- speaking, of course?
26645	Those too-- were those your handiwork?
26645	Train- snatching-- eh?
26645	Tunnel?
26645	We ca n''t tunnel underground, I suppose, and get at them that way, so we must find out by spying where the wires are run to-- eh, Max?
26645	We will be as cautious as we honourably can, will we not, Dale?
26645	Well, Max, how goes it?
26645	Well, Max, what do you think of it?
26645	Well, Max,said Dale at last,"what line are we now going to take?
26645	Well, we can do that, I suppose?
26645	Well, what will they treat us as?
26645	What are you going to do, lad?
26645	What could we have done?
26645	What d''ye mean?
26645	What d''ye think of''em, Dale?
26645	What d''ye want poking about''ere?
26645	What did you say, old man?
26645	What for?
26645	What had those poor folk to do with it? 26645 What have you there, fireman?"
26645	What is it, old man?
26645	What is the matter, von Schenkendorf? 26645 What is this, Corporal?"
26645	What is to be our next move, Max?
26645	What shall we do with him? 26645 What was this notice?"
26645	What''s that?
26645	What''s the game now, laddie?
26645	What''s the game, Max? 26645 What''s the good of it?
26645	What''s the matter here? 26645 What''s the matter, Max?"
26645	What''s the matter?
26645	What''s the odds? 26645 What''s to do now?
26645	What? 26645 When we get rid of Schenk, eh?
26645	Where are they?
26645	Where are we now?
26645	Where are you from?
26645	Where?
26645	Who are you? 26645 Who are you?"
26645	Who cares?
26645	Who comes there?
26645	Who could forget it?
26645	Why ca n''t we? 26645 Why do you come here to work?
26645	Why have you withdrawn all the older men from the shell- shops, Monsieur Schenk? 26645 Why not what?"
26645	Why not? 26645 Why so?"
26645	Why was it Schenk persuaded us to go to Germany instead of to Holland for our holiday? 26645 Why, Max?
26645	Why, what has happened to tell you this? 26645 Why, you know we noticed that one of them ran right up to the outskirts of the city?
26645	Why-- what d''ye mean? 26645 Will you let me plan the reprisal attack as well as arrange to get you out?"
26645	With us in it?
26645	Yes, Monsieur?
26645	Yes, but how long will it last? 26645 Yes, they are; but shall not we have really had a hand in their deaths?"
26645	You are then this rascal who has burned the Durend machine- gun shop?
26645	You do? 26645 You found the clockwork all right in that raid on the railway?
26645	You have seen the notice, sir?
26645	You see what those troops from the train are after?
26645	You see, Dale?
26645	You stole some plans of mine a month or so ago----? 26645 You''re a Belgian, eh?"
26645	Yours, impudent?
26645	Yours? 26645 3, and was that not enough proof of weakness? 26645 A traitor I dare say he is, but why so suddenly sure?
26645	And can we send them more before the city is invested?"
26645	And they will not let anyone leave the town to give the soldiers information of their coming?"
26645	And what part are_ we_ going to play, old man?"
26645	And who are you?"
26645	Anything else?"
26645	Are they dismissed, or are they refusing to work?"
26645	Are we to let our little ones perish for their sakes?"
26645	But enough of this-- see that man coming along there eyeing the benches?"
26645	But have you counted the cost?"
26645	But the question is, what are we going to do now?
26645	But who would have dreamed of such devilish forethought?
26645	But why did you not do it before the Germans entered?
26645	But you are a Belgian, Monsieur?
26645	By George, though, what''s that?"
26645	CHAPTER II The Races"Well, Stroke?"
26645	Can he swim?"
26645	Can we now?"
26645	Can we really expect Franklin to keep up the pace of the rest of us without rushing his slide, bucketing, or something of the sort?
26645	Can you, Monsieur Dubec?"
26645	Come, lad, what say ye-- what''s oor next move?"
26645	D''ye remember the fight we put up for Benson''s?"
26645	D''ye think we want to find a good safe prison?"
26645	Did they not hand it to you?"
26645	Did you hand over_ all_ you took to the English Government?"
26645	Do you think to measure your puny strength with mine?
26645	Friends-- eh?
26645	Give him his quietus?
26645	Has Monsieur Schenk given any orders for a change in the calibre of the shells?"
26645	Have they taken money enough for what may be a long stay?
26645	Have you been robbed?"
26645	He knew Dubec had been in the yard, and what more likely than that he had been detained?
26645	How should we have felt had we let that business go on unchecked?"
26645	How was it, then, that this man, in his own mind, practically ignored him?
26645	I suppose that will be the end of your fine talk about our offering our services to the British authorities?"
26645	I wonder what they are after?"
26645	If we were ready to strike and suffer long for wages, will we not do so for the good of our country?"
26645	Is it all to be lightly thrown away?
26645	It was----"_ Are you ready?_"This time Max looked more sharply about him.
26645	Many other factories and workshops besides ours have been seized, and who can fairly put the blame upon the owners?"
26645	Of course you know there is a soldier always posted at each entrance?"
26645	Ours or theirs, I wonder?"
26645	Perhaps if we offered them money----?"
26645	See that light haze yonder?
26645	Should he give Schenk the information he so evidently desired?
26645	Should he keep the men ignorant of the nature of the enterprise until the hour for it had struck?
26645	Should he press his crew to the utmost, or should he hold his hand for another time?
26645	Spend a fortnight at our place at Liége in the summer-- eh?"
26645	Stay here by the bag while I get some-- or perhaps this gentleman would n''t mind looking after it for a moment?"
26645	Supposing he gave himself up in order that they might go free?
26645	The manager was obviously taken aback, although he recovered himself almost instantly as he replied:"You have noticed that then?
26645	The place is running at top speed too-- see, Dale?"
26645	Then do you remember those men who were captured after trying to assassinate General Leman in the town?
26645	There is no help for it, of course; we must submit to the inevitable?"
26645	Think you it has cost me nothing to beg your life from the governor?
26645	This business will be profitable for the firm no doubt?"
26645	Walk to the next station out from Bingen and see if we can get a train for home?"
26645	Was it because he was so incompetent that the manager thought he never would be fit to take his place?
26645	Was not he, Max, sweating and struggling through every workshop solely in order that he might fit himself to direct affairs?
26645	We are safe inside; is that what you mean?"
26645	We ca n''t let these Germans make a grand sweep of English and French fugitive soldiers without at least giving them warning, can we, old man?"
26645	We have done enough for one night, and I fancy Schenk will think so too-- eh, Dale?"
26645	Well, and why should n''t we?"
26645	Well, had he not oftentimes thought that it would be a grand and good thing so to do?
26645	Well, why should n''t we continue it secretly, until we get beneath the yards, and then burrow upwards to the workshops?
26645	What about Dubec-- he was in it, of course?"
26645	What about the Secret Service?
26645	What are you going to attack-- nothing less than Metz, of course?"
26645	What did the words mean?
26645	What do you here?"
26645	What do you think, Dubec?"
26645	What say you, boys?"
26645	What sort of cat exploit is this?"
26645	What will become of you, I should like to know?"
26645	What would Hawkesley''s think if they could see us-- or Benson''s?"
26645	What''s that?"
26645	Where shall it be?"
26645	Where was he?
26645	Who''s to stop us?"
26645	Why cross at all?
26645	Why did n''t you leave him alone?"
26645	Why does not the firm take the lead?
26645	Why had Stroke set so wretchedly slow a stroke that defeat was certain?
26645	Why had not Stroke given them the opportunity of rowing themselves right out instead of tamely surrendering thus?
26645	Why is it left to us poor workmen to show our patriotism?
26645	Why is that?"
26645	Why not cut straight away into the open country?"
26645	Why not?"
26645	Why should Belgians fight their battles for them?
26645	Why should I go if you can stay-- if you_ are_ staying?"
26645	Why should n''t we work?
26645	Why should they die?
26645	Why should we not begin to cast shells instead of rails, and see whether we can not make rifles and machine- guns instead of machinery?
26645	Why should you think your father is so ill as all that?
26645	Why worry his men about them?
26645	Why-- why?
26645	Will you go into the streets and find out anything else you can?
26645	Will you now please see M. Schenk and have this matter-- which is so distressing-- put right?"
26645	Wo n''t it be jolly if we find some English soldiers, and manage to pilot them away to a safe place?"
26645	Would he not leave the affairs of the firm to M. Schenk and join her in Holland?
26645	Would it help Belgium if you and I were replaced by men from Krupp''s?
26645	Would the workmen understand the distinction?
26645	Would they not conclude he had turned traitor, and some revile him, and others-- worse still-- follow his dubious example?
26645	Would this meet with approval in Highest quarters?"
26645	Yes?
26645	You are aware that you die to- morrow?"
26645	You are thinking of wrecking the place, eh?"
26645	You must know you ca n''t win races with a funereal stroke like that, so what''s the good of trying it?"
26645	You----But why not, Monsieur Max?"
26645	_ You_ turn me out?
26645	and what conditions?"
26645	d''ye hear that?"
26645	then we can be off?"
29991	Across the river, over there under the arch of the bridge, do n''t you see that little curl of blue- white rising?
29991	And say, I did n''t get my drink of milk, either, did I?
29991	And that would spell ruin for all our plans, would n''t it?
29991	And you will allow us to go on when we choose, then?
29991	And,continued the Belgian lieutenant,"if the poor fellow should be nearly gone, what then?
29991	Are the Belgian troops coming, Rob?
29991	Are they showing any signs of going yet?
29991	Are you American boys, then?
29991	Are you sure they are Belgian aëroplanes?
29991	Bad time did you say, Rob? 29991 Blown up, do you mean, Rob?"
29991	Bottom knocked out of everything, is it, Rob?
29991	But how shall we catch the frogs, and then cook them?
29991	But if they come in here do we want to stay and be arrested for English spies?
29991	But just explain one queer thing, wo n''t you, please, Merritt?
29991	But there have been no battles on English soil, up to now, Merritt; tell me how the Boy Scouts of Great Britain could do things, then?
29991	But think of us, will you?
29991	But what can I do with the coat when it comes down to me? 29991 But what do you reckon they''re doing up there?"
29991	But what do you suppose all that bombardment means?
29991	But what''s that you''ve got in your hand, Tubby?
29991	But where could we hide?
29991	But why d''ye suppose they did n''t climb up before now, and tackle that monster Zeppelin, so as to put it out of business, or chase it off?
29991	But why should you do that?
29991	But wo n''t you try and get me up again, Rob?
29991	But, Rob, shall we have to swim across, or is there a sort of ford handy that we might use?
29991	Ca n''t you climb up again, Tubby?
29991	Can Rob reach that window from the limb?
29991	Can you blame them?
29991	Clasp your legs around the thing, ca n''t you, Tubby?
29991	Come on, here, what''s ailing you, Dobbin?
29991	Did they shoot down many of the poor villagers on account of that sniper?
29991	Did you see that little puff of what looked like smoke? 29991 Did you see that?"
29991	Do we have to get out at this terribly early hour?
29991	Do you mean Hoboken, New Jersey?
29991	Doing what?
29991	First of all----"Of course not, but----"And, if they discovered us, you know what it would mean?
29991	Frogs, is n''t it, Rob?
29991	Has he left Sempst, then?
29991	Has he sailed away yet, Rob?
29991	Have n''t we been through all sorts of tough times together in the past; and why should n''t we stand by our chum when he needs our help? 29991 Have you ever seen the goose- step before, Rob?"
29991	He acts kind of queer, does n''t he?
29991	Hey, Merritt, you give me a shiver when you say that, do n''t you know?
29991	How about this, Rob? 29991 How about you, Tubby?"
29991	How is it you know there is an ambuscade laid to catch us napping?
29991	How will it all end, I wonder?
29991	How, then, could we ever forgive ourselves for taking money from one who has saved our baby''s life? 29991 I do n''t seem to glimpse any cavalrymen around, do you, Rob?"
29991	I wonder what happened to the spy?
29991	I wonder what we''ll strike on the other side of this wood?
29991	Is the battle over, do you think?
29991	It must have landed by now, then, has n''t it?
29991	It''s got the wheels of an automobile; but say, notice how the body of the car has been built up with steel sides, will you? 29991 Just because I''m so well filled out, I suppose you mean, Rob?
29991	Listen to him, will you, Rob?
29991	Listen to them shouting, will you?
29991	Me? 29991 Our road will take us past that place where they are hiding, wo n''t it, Rob?"
29991	Rob, did you see that puff of smoke coming out of the house then?
29991	Rob, do n''t you see they''re heading right this way?
29991	Rob, tell us what it was all about?
29991	See here, you do n''t happen to have a lot of stuff hidden away on your person, do you, Rob?
29991	Settles what?
29991	So, that''s a real Zeppelin, is it?
29991	Sure it ai n''t poisoned, are you, Merritt?
29991	Tell us about it, wo n''t you, Rob?
29991	That must be because certain things are made there that they can use in their war game, eh, Rob?
29991	The old miner did that so if anybody got hold of him they would n''t be able to locate the secret mine-- wasn''t that it, Merritt?
29991	The question is, who could that message have been for?
29991	Then mebbe you''ve gone and got some wings hidden away, which we can use to fly across?
29991	Then please tell me what''s the program?
29991	Then that machine must have been one of the Taube aëroplanes they told us about?
29991	Then the scouts over in your country are also taught to be ready for any emergency, the same as the boys are in Belgium?
29991	Then you found that what I told you was exactly so?
29991	Then you must have noticed signs that told they were beginning to get ready to go?
29991	This? 29991 Want to break my neck, you animated skeleton?
29991	Was that an aëroplane, Rob?
29991	Well, do you think you could stand for another night in the hay?
29991	Well, do you wonder?
29991	Well, how about that drink of milk, fellows?
29991	Well, now, he must have guessed that when you said you''reckoned,''Rob,declared Merritt,"but how comes it you talk English, my friend?"
29991	Well, shall we get out of here?
29991	Well, shall we make a move?
29991	Well, what of that?
29991	What are you looking at now, Tubby?
29991	What d''ye reckon they find to do?
29991	What did you make up your mind was the cause of it?
29991	What do you call that, I wonder?
29991	What do you make of that flickering light over there, Rob?
29991	What do you take us for, I want to know?
29991	What does he mean, then? 29991 What for?"
29991	What if those awful Uhlans took our steeds away with them?
29991	What luck, Rob?
29991	What luck?
29991	What makes you say that?
29991	What makes you say that?
29991	What makes you think so?
29991	What makes you think so?
29991	What makes you think so?
29991	What will we do now?
29991	What would I look like trying that fancy step? 29991 What would we do without you?"
29991	What''s that man shouting, Rob?
29991	What''s that moving along away up near the clouds?
29991	What''s that moving away over there, Rob?
29991	What''s the idea of that?
29991	What''s the matter, Anthony?
29991	What''s the matter, now, Merritt?
29991	What''s the score?
29991	What''s there about a bridge to worry us, I''d like to know?
29991	What''s this coming up behind us?
29991	What''s this? 29991 What, already?"
29991	What-- a feast of frogs''legs?
29991	Where do I come in? 29991 Where was this, Rob?"
29991	Why is it?
29991	Why, you know how firemen stand and hold a blanket for people to jump into?
29991	Will you keep still, Tubby, and let''s see if he begins again?
29991	Would it be safe?
29991	Would it be wise for us to head over there now, Rob?
29991	Would you mind telling us how you know this?
29991	You do n''t expect they will turn back and give us trouble, do you, Rob?
29991	You mean drop a bomb down on it, do n''t you, Rob?
29991	You mean to start then for Sempst, do you?
29991	You mean we''re on fire, do you?
29991	You will not go ahead after learning what is waiting there, I suppose, Captain?
29991	''unoccupied,''you said, did n''t you, Rob?"
29991	Ai n''t that the limit, now?"
29991	Am I on the right track, Rob?"
29991	And all the while she keeps on asking:''Sister Ann, Sister Ann, do you see anyone coming?''"
29991	And look how they''re holding her back, would you?
29991	And there are other ways in which boys in camp could be injured, you are telling me?"
29991	And there goes E, followed by W and S. What does that spell but NEWS?
29991	And what under the sun does he mean by''safe landing''?
29991	And you seem to be willing to take the risk?"
29991	Are those the works where the smoke is coming out of the stacks?"
29991	Are we going to be held up by a patrol?
29991	But do n''t you think we''d better try and get to sleep, for it''s growing late?"
29991	But how in the world can we cook them?
29991	But say, was that in German, or French, or English, I want to know?"
29991	But watch him boring up in spirals, would you?
29991	But we''re really getting there, ai n''t we, Rob?"
29991	But what are you doing here on this terrible field?
29991	But why have you done this for us, when you say, as Americans, you must be neutral?"
29991	But you do n''t think now that fellow away up there in the clouds would bother dropping explosives on our heads, do you, Rob?"
29991	But you never saw me show the white feather, did you?"
29991	Can you make it out?
29991	Did you hear anything suspicious?
29991	Do I have to come down to choosing between eating jumpers and starving to death?"
29991	Do any of you speak English?
29991	Do n''t you see how that sort of a movement relieves the leg?
29991	Do n''t you think we''ve got enough, Rob?"
29991	Do you happen to know any peculiarity about his looks or manner that would identify him?"
29991	Does the German see him, do you think, and is he beginning to skip out?"
29991	Had n''t we better make our way downstairs, Rob, and throw ourselves on the mercy of the Uhlans?"
29991	How about it, Rob?"
29991	How about that, Merritt?"
29991	How about that, Rob?"
29991	I do n''t seem to glimpse any big dirigible up there; do you, fellows?"
29991	I hope now you do n''t mean to tackle them raw?
29991	I may get in lots of scrapes, but somehow I always do manage to crawl out, do n''t I?"
29991	I''m tired; but I did n''t give up, did I, fellows?
29991	If he allowed the runaway to go by, and something dreadful happened, how could he ever reconcile his action with his vows as a true- blue scout?
29991	If they''re German raiders why do n''t they come across and interview us, I wonder?
29991	Is he trying to escape military duty, do you think, Rob?
29991	Is it a bargain, my boys?"
29991	Is it the same as the German word_ stein_?"
29991	Is n''t it in this country they make all that Limburger cheese; or over the border in Holland?
29991	Is n''t it terrible?"
29991	Is that all?"
29991	Is that the stuff, Rob?"
29991	Is there a German Zeppelin heaving in sight?
29991	It must be a serious motive that brings you into this wretched country?"
29991	It shows what training will do for a fellow, does n''t it?"
29991	It''s about the paper, also of Steven Meredith you''re curious to hear?"
29991	Just as if I could help that; can I, Rob?"
29991	Listen to the frogs croaking, will you?
29991	Look what''s bearing down on us, will you?"
29991	Mebbe you know of a henroost nearby, where we might find a tough old Dominick fowl that had been overlooked by the raider squads from the camp?"
29991	Now give us a pointer; what about getting some supper, and finding a place to sleep to- night?"
29991	Now what does that stand for, Rob?
29991	Now, had n''t we better be getting out of here?"
29991	Now, what can you tell us about him?"
29991	Now, what in the wide world was he in such a terrible hurry for?
29991	Only one show at the same?
29991	Rob, has our house taken fire yet?"
29991	Rob, see if we could do it, wo n''t you?
29991	Rob, you do n''t think they''ll come up here, do you?"
29991	Shall I take it and steal up close enough to whack a few of the jumpers on the head?"
29991	Tell me, can I not do something to prove that in Germany we look upon your country as our friends?
29991	Think of the battles we''ve been up against on the diamond and the gridiron; and did anybody ever hear us complain, or show a yellow streak?
29991	Think up some way to grab me out of this, wo n''t you, Rob?"
29991	Was there ever such great luck as this?
29991	What about Anthony, Rob?"
29991	What are all our troubles, I''d like to know, compared to those these poor people are suffering?"
29991	What could he have meant, Rob?"
29991	What if they take us for Germans, and open fire?"
29991	What makes you look at me like that, Rob?"
29991	What would n''t I give for an aëroplane to come along at this minute, and pick me up?
29991	What''coast is clear''?
29991	What''s a scout good for if he is ready to desert a comrade when the sky grows dark?
29991	What''s a scout wearing his khaki uniform for if it is n''t to remind him what he owes to his chums?
29991	What''s that other they roar out, Rob?"
29991	What''s that poor woman shouting now, Rob?
29991	What''s the program, Rob?"
29991	What''s the use of locking the stable door when the horse has been stolen?"
29991	What''s this?"
29991	When he came back it was getting near sundown; and of course the first thing Tubby asked was:"Did he say we could have it, Rob?"
29991	Where''s he gone to, do you think, Rob?
29991	Where''s the boat going to come from, somebody tell me quick?"
29991	Who so fit to solve it as a band of adventurous Boy Scouts?
29991	Why, ca n''t you see there''s good money in raising frogs?
29991	Why, did n''t that officer compliment us on the way we looked after his men, and the German spy they''d captured?
29991	Why, we''re miles and miles away from the sea- shore now, ai n''t we?
29991	Wo n''t you let me help?"
29991	Wo n''t you take our word of honor, sir?"
29991	Would you be willing to help us out; and do you think you could stand the awful sights and sounds of the battlefield?"
29991	Would you mind if I and my friend here looked at them?
29991	You remember what we heard in Antwerp about those three British cruisers that were just torpedoed in the North Sea by German submarines?"
29991	You will allow us to go on, then, I hope?"
29991	by the way, where are our horses?"
29991	called out Rob,"American boys, who belong to the scouts over in our country, you understand?
29991	can he have seen us?"
29991	dear, why do n''t you hurry and tell us the worst?"
29991	ejaculated Tubby helplessly,"and do you really expect to crawl over that swinging thing?
29991	get me up out of this, fellows, ca n''t you?"
29991	said Tubby,"when like as not if they said no they''d find a torch put to their house?
29991	snorted Tubby,"after Columbus had cracked the end of the egg and stood it up, did n''t those Spanish courtiers all say that was as easy as pie?
29991	so this is war, is it?
29991	sort of''trying it on the dog first,''eh?"
29991	three miles or more, on that animated saw- buck, eh?
29991	what are you going to do, Rob, Merritt?
29991	what is it?"
29991	what is that up there, and heading this way?"
29991	what wo n''t they do next in modern, up- to- date fighting?"
29991	what would I not do to show you how grateful I am for your brave act?
29991	why does n''t somebody run up and get the child out, if that''s so?"
29991	why, yes, how about that passport the burgomaster wrote out for us himself?
37668	Ah,cried Slimbroek, feigning pity and compassion,"why wilt thou stand drink to me?
37668	Ah,exclaimed the lady Gonde,"I am growing anxious; where is she then?"
37668	Ah,he said,"look at my plums, my lord; will you be pleased to let me go up and eat my fill?"
37668	Ah,said Magtelt,"must thou go so far away, Anne- Mie?"
37668	Ah,said My Lord Jesus,"that is a great sin; but has he not repented of it?"
37668	Ah,said the lovers to one another,"saw you that silvern armour and that flaming crest?
37668	Ah,said the smith,"you come from the devil, Lord?"
37668	Ah,she said,"I did ill not to obey thee; what must I do now, my man?"
37668	Alas,she said, clinging to him and gazing into the forge,"wert thou alone there, my man?"
37668	Alas,she said,"I can not understand what you are talking about, my man; have you gone mad?"
37668	All this is ours?
37668	And by virtue of what didst thou merit this rare and blessed favour?
37668	And did this great saint appear to thee by especial miracle?
37668	And have not come here to tell us temperance stories?
37668	And this child whom I see naked,said Smetse,"does he not oftentimes suffer from the cold?"
37668	And thou wilt dare to beat me as thou didst Jacob Hessels and my faithful duke?
37668	And to drink also?
37668	And what is the name,said Blaeskaek,"of this merry boy?"
37668	And whence,said Blaeskaek,"hast thou gotten all this black melancholy?"
37668	And who,quoth he,"has slain all these scoundrels in this wise?"
37668	And why not, wife?
37668	And why,said the Duke,"should they boil one of my good men of Uccle?"
37668	And wilt tell me what they are?
37668	And you are ready to defend them as best you can?
37668	And your little daughters, so sweet and winsome?
37668	And your sons?
37668	And,said he,"art thou not chilled, riding thus in the snow?"
37668	And,said he,"hast thou no fear, here at my side and on my own land, where no one dares to set foot?"
37668	Art not lying again?
37668	Art thou hungry?
37668	Art thou not lying?
37668	Art thou there,she said,"my man?"
37668	Art thou,he said,"a maid?"
37668	Aye, and if the priests learn of the statue, and call us both before the tribunal, and have us burnt as heretics and idolaters, what then?
37668	Baes,said certain workmen,"is it not my lord Jacob Hessels, the Bloody Councillor, who is perched up there in thy plum- tree?"
37668	Baes,said the workmen, who had returned from the smithy with hammers and iron bars,"here we are at your orders; what shall we do?"
37668	Baes,said the workmen,"whence comes to thee this kindness beyond measure?
37668	Baes,said they,"can we not help to bring him down?"
37668	Brother,she said,"may I go to Halewyn?"
37668	But if,said Pieter Gans,"the priests should get wind of this statue, so shamelessly set up for all to see?"
37668	But thou,said he,"wilt thou eat nothing?"
37668	But, my man,said she,"canst not explain to me somewhat of all these happenings?"
37668	But, wife,said Smetse,"hast ever seen this gulf whereof thou speakest?"
37668	But,asked the devil,"how did this sack come into thy hands?"
37668	But,he said,"who art thou, riding in my land, singing and winding the horn, who bringest hither such insolent talk?"
37668	But,said he,"is it with devil''s money thou wilt pay for this mass?"
37668	But,said she,"if he had not gone up into the plum- tree, what wouldst thou have done, poor beggar- man?
37668	Dost thou dare?
37668	Ha, My Lord,said his brother, coming boldly up to him and speaking insolently,"will you not take some of this clauwaert to hearten yourself?
37668	Ha,said the Sire,"and why does this chatterer not go and joust as well as I?
37668	I go,she said,"but wilt thou not come also, my man?"
37668	I?
37668	In what place,said he,"does this carpenter dwell, and what is his name?"
37668	Jesus- Maria,said the lady Gonde,"see these two sillies, what have they been doing to get themselves clothed in snow in this fashion?
37668	Master,answered the smith,"will you be pleased to let me go down to earth for one night, so that I may see my good wife and look to my affairs?"
37668	My Lord, Madam, and Sir,said Smetse,"will it please you that whosoever shall sit in this chair shall not be able to rise unless I so desire?"
37668	My Lord,said Smetse in a most sorrowful manner,"whither would you take me?
37668	My lord father,she said,"may I go to Halewyn?"
37668	My soul?
37668	Oh,said the devil,"why beat me so cruelly, without pity for my white hairs?"
37668	Packed,he said,"and how does my packing concern thee, master bald- pate?"
37668	See ye not,said she,"whence comes to these grannies so great a rage and such a thirst for vengeance?
37668	Smetse,he said,"hast packed thy bundle?"
37668	Smetse,replied the fellow in a harsh voice,"hast forgotten thy restored fortunes, and the good times thou hast enjoyed, and the black paper?"
37668	Smetse,said she,"will you in good truth do me no hurt?"
37668	Smetse,said she,"wilt thou verily tell me nothing?"
37668	Smetse,she said,"is it thou, my man?"
37668	Smith,asked the devil,"are these Flemings laughing at me?"
37668	Smith,said the devil, looking at Smetse with great contempt,"thou wouldst not dare beat me, I think?"
37668	Then why,said she,"knowing this, hast thou not more faith in me?
37668	This is good, Smetse, but didst thou persist in this fair conduct?
37668	This is good, Smetse,said My Lord Jesus;"but hast thou no other merit in thy favour?"
37668	This sack?
37668	This, my man,she said,"is all very well, but will Master St. Peter give thee permission to set up at the gates of Paradise such a tavern?"
37668	Thou wilt not?
37668	Toon,cried the lady Gonde,"where is Magtelt?"
37668	Toon,said she,"where is she?
37668	We rich?
37668	Well then, smith,said the voice,"to riches thou preferest beggary?
37668	Well then,said he,"why art thou so afraid?
37668	Well, mother,said he,"what didst think of our dance?
37668	Well, then,asked Blaeskaek,"what must we do now?"
37668	Well, wives,said he,"what brings you here with all this greenwood?"
37668	Well,said Blaeskaek,"do you please to come in?"
37668	Well,said Smetse,"dost find the bruinbier to thy liking; is it not the best in all the land of Flanders?
37668	Well,said the Duke when he had done,"who would have thought it of these good wives?
37668	What ails thee?
37668	What ails thee?
37668	What are they saying, smith?
37668	What happenings, wife?
37668	What is his name?
37668	What is this thou''rt telling me?
37668	What is this?
37668	What wilt thou, Smetse?
37668	Whence comes all this noise?
37668	Who art thou?
37668	Who is a better man than I? 37668 Why is that?"
37668	Why,said Sir Roel,"was my son so presumptuous as to attack the Invincible?"
37668	Why,said the voice,"dost not dare answer him who wishes thee naught but well?
37668	Wicked son, how couldst thou think to send the little bird to the hawk, the virgin to the enemy of virgins?
37668	Wife, wife,said the smith,"wilt thou never learn to hold thy tongue?"
37668	Wife,said Smetse, trying to escape the wetting,"what art thou at?"
37668	Wife,said Smetse,"didst see no smiths?"
37668	Wife,said the smith in friendly tones,"is it thus that thou givest greeting and welcome to thy poor husband, after the long time he has been away?
37668	Wilt thou or wilt thou not, smith?
37668	Wilt try it?
37668	Women,said the drinkers,"you wish to join us?"
37668	Yes, that may be,she said, while the thirty- first porter was going past,"but''tis very strange, I can not hear their footfalls, my man?"
37668	Yes, yes,said she,"for who is the well- being and joy of this house?
37668	Ah, presumptuous one, must thou then go to his castle to brave the Invincible?"
37668	Ah, will you not make me whole, will you not save me?
37668	Alas, hast forgot our old comradeship and union?"
37668	And Magtelt had great sorrow in her heart, and wept, and made lament, crying:"Anne- Mie, where art thou?
37668	And crying out at the top of her voice:"Masters, you are at Smetse''s, do you not understand?
37668	And dost know what manner of gulf this is, my man?
37668	And he heard at the same instant a strange and scoffing voice saying:"Where goest thou, Smetse?"
37668	And he said to himself:"Are they going to denounce me to the priests?"
37668	And his brother said:"Where is your lordly bearing, My Lord Siewert Halewyn the elder, descendant of the Crow with the great beak?
37668	And his sister said:"Welcome, my fair brother, what news do you bring?
37668	And over the fine bodice?
37668	And she said:"My good man, do you hear the storm raging furiously in the forest?"
37668	And the damosel said:"Beautiful maid, riding so fast, hast seen my brother Halewyn?"
37668	And the ladies, gentlewomen and maidens of the town, seeing him pass by on his black horse, said among themselves:"Who is this fair horseman?"
37668	And the old man said:"Beautiful maid, riding so fast, hast seen my son Halewyn?"
37668	And the old woman said:"Beautiful maid, riding so fast, hast seen my son Halewyn?"
37668	And the young man said:"Beautiful maid, riding so fast, hast seen my brother Halewyn?"
37668	And what if he will not let himself fall a second time into thy snare as he did to- day?"
37668	And while he was fastening up the beast, paring his hoof and fitting the shoe, he said to the man:"Whence come you, with this woman and this ass?"
37668	And while he was struggling with might and main, making a thousand vain efforts, the good smith cried joyously:"Would your highness get up?
37668	And why,"said he,"if thou knowest me, wilt not come to me and touch me?"
37668	Are those good greenwood staves you have brought?"
37668	Are you not better than they, and will you not keep us also from the snares of the enemy?
37668	Are you not thirsty, my brother, with the thirst of a baron, of a victor, I will not say of a villein?
37668	Art not glad of it?"
37668	Art thou angry at the loss of thy customers, Smetse?
37668	Art thou become the housewife?
37668	Art thou then become such a delicate feeder that thou must have cakes, fine cheeses, and full barrels?
37668	Blaeskaek, where art thou, my good friend?
37668	Brother, may I go to Halewyn?"
37668	But I, Master, I, a poor king, who pray to you, do you disdain to make me whole also, and to save me as you would have saved him?
37668	But Sir Roel to Toon:"Son, dost thou not know where she is?"
37668	But are you not being well tormented in turn by my stick?
37668	But hast thou no meritorious deed to tell me, to mitigate this great sin?"
37668	But her mother said to her:"Where is Anne- Mie?"
37668	But is it yet the appointed time?
37668	But look ye, is it to male or female that belongs properly the right of command in all matters?
37668	But seeing Smetse''s feet below the hem of the skirt:"This wicked smith,"he cried,"will he always be making fun of me?
37668	But the Miserable:"What brings thee,"he said,"into my lands?"
37668	But what is your meat and drink while you are travelling in this manner?"
37668	But where is the wreath of the ladies?"
37668	But who was this man who showed thee this sack with such kindness, and who gave me this terrible great blow?"
37668	By this argument am I not doing my best to soften your heart to my piteous case?
37668	Canst not see him in his cavern, awaiting passers- by, and devouring poor maids?"
37668	Canst not see how light my heart has grown?
37668	Canst not see such a one coming?"
37668	Canst not smell the savoury odour of beans and good beef broiled with spices?
37668	Canst see no pilgrim or wandering friar on the road?"
37668	Canst thou not be content with bread and water got honestly with thy two hands?
37668	Chattering magpie, wilt never learn to hold thy tongue?
37668	Dear fellows, do you wish to find us dead by morning?
37668	Do I not know what is in our chest?
37668	Do I not say it loud enough?
37668	Do not these respectful taps tell your lordly cheeks how happy, joyous, and well- liking I should be during those seven years?
37668	Do you love these husbands of yours?"
37668	Do you not know that the noise of their hooves troubles these three ladies in their prayers?"
37668	Does he think he is cracking eggs, the faint- heart?
37668	Dost not know thy man''s fat face, his round paunch, and the voice which in former days sang so readily hereabout?"
37668	Dost verily think that, being freed of devils, thou hast for thine own the chattels that come from them?
37668	Going in, he met on the bridge his lady mother, who said to him:"Where goest thou, Miserable, with this child?"
37668	Hast ever put thy nose in to see, any more than in the bread- pan?
37668	Hast no fear, maid?"
37668	Hast no pennies to get drink?
37668	Hast not already to- night been admonished sharply enough?
37668	Have I verily gotten my good forge back again?
37668	He has come to marry us, I suppose.--Who would have him, for four castles, as many manors, ten thousand peasants and half the gold in the province?
37668	Ho,"said he to the cat, who was arching her back in annoyance,"hast heard, listened, and understood, devil cat?
37668	How is thy fine face?
37668	In the morning, at noon, and at vesper- time, at all hours and all moments, do we not have you in our minds?
37668	Is he another devil, think you?
37668	Is he not in Paradise, thy good man?"
37668	Is it not payment enough that he should die sixteen times?
37668	Is that not so, Smetse?"
37668	Is the fashion coming to Ghent by and by?"
37668	Is there any dust on it?
37668	Knowest thou not that like him thou hast but little longer to sing?"
37668	Lads,"said the smith to his workmen,"will you be pleased to hold converse with My Lord?"
37668	Let come what may, armies, lightning, thunder, tempest; who can stand but I?"
37668	Must thou have more telling?"
37668	On the stair he met his brother, just returned from boar- hunting, who said, in mocking wise:"Ah, is the Miserable about to get us a bastard?"
37668	Poor little man, my good comrade, dost know what there is in store for thee?
37668	Seeing her come in and fall on her knees before him, he said:"What wilt thou, little one?"
37668	Shall I not be so always?
37668	Sir Roel said that he knew nothing of it; and speaking to the Silent:"Son,"said he,"dost thou know where thy sister has gone?"
37668	Sorely troubled, and falling on his knees, Halewyn said:"Alas, is the spell then impotent?
37668	Suddenly he said, lifting his head arrogantly:"Am I not truly the Invincible, the Beautiful, the Strong?
37668	Suddenly shaking himself:"This devil,"said he,"was he not making fun of me after all?
37668	Suddenly the Miserable heard a sad voice saying:"Wilt thou seek strength and beauty in death, blood, and tears?"
37668	Suddenly the voice spoke with anger:"Smith, wilt thou pay us in such ape''s coin?
37668	The lady Gonde, going to him, said:"My son, why do you not come into the hall to bid good evening to the lord your father?"
37668	Then Smetse feigned great anger and said to his workmen:"Do ye not hear?
37668	This made the good woman more than ever put out, and she grew angry:"I tell you,"she exclaimed,"you have made a mistake; do you not hear me?
37668	Toon, do you not know?"
37668	Was it not a merry one?
37668	Wast thou verily as sick as I?"
37668	We never see thee now at vespers in the inn of Pensaert; why, Smetse?
37668	Well, My Lord the Invincible, dost think thou shalt win invincibly the five- and- twenty bezants, the helm of my head, and the trappings of my horse?"
37668	What did the fair maid put on her white body?
37668	What had the fair maid on her beautiful shoulders?
37668	What had the fair maid on her proud head?
37668	What held she in her little hand?
37668	What is he doing here?
37668	What is it makes the flame glow in her clear brown eyes?
37668	What is it so swells her breast?
37668	What is the reason for it?
37668	What of thy triumphant bearing, my lord the Invincible?
37668	What would you have me do now, Lord Prince of the Stones?
37668	When the lady Gonde turned her head, Magtelt fell on her knees before her:"Mother,"said she,"may I go to Halewyn?"
37668	Where are barrels, kegs, flagons and bottles, tankards, mugs, and goblets?
37668	Where are cauldrons, pots, and frying- pans?
37668	Where are hams and sausages, whales''tongues, and loins of beef, meat of the air, meat of the waters, and meat of the fields?
37668	Where goest thou, Smetse?"
37668	Where got you this one?
37668	Where is clauwaert simple and double?
37668	Where is old wine and new wine?
37668	Where?
37668	Wherewith did the fair maid bind in her slender waist?
37668	Which is she?"
37668	While they were on their way:"Well, comrade,"said Gans to Blaeskaek,"what is thy opinion of this apothecary?"
37668	Who is my equal?
37668	Who will dare to live peaceably in this house from now on?
37668	Who will pay you nothing: do you hear me?
37668	Whose is that feeble arm down there, tapping with his hammer so gently?
37668	Why does she carry so straight her head and her crown?
37668	Why dost thou not now caper as a kid, or fly away as a bird, Siewert the enchanted?"
37668	Why hold so long and fair parley with this fellow?
37668	Will you be pleased to come into my kitchen, and try a slice of fat ham, taste a pot of good bruinbier, and sip a bottle of wine?
37668	Will you be pleased to try them?
37668	Will you please to love us also a little, for you alone are our comfort and joy in this sad world, Jesus?
37668	Will your highness deign to be seated?"
37668	Wilt kiss me, though I be old?"
37668	Wilt not do likewise?
37668	Wilt thou fight with me?"
37668	Wilt thou have masses said?
37668	Would it not be a criminal act to break off in this sudden fashion so close a partnership?
37668	cried Pieter Gans,"what is this, dear Jesus?
37668	cried Smetse, much frightened at these words,"do you think to eat me down there?
