49686and why will you twist your mouth so, Horace?"
49686repeated Grace;"where did you pick up such droll words?
49686thought Grace;"ca n''t she look at anything but me?"
42246A harvest feast? 42246 Ai n''t we fine, miss?
42246And how are we ever to get home?
42246And then ca n''t we climb a tree?
42246And with a sore spot in your heart?
42246Anything wrong?
42246Are n''t we going to play something?
42246Are n''t you, girls? 42246 Are these the boys you meant?"
42246Are they in college?
42246But how can I tell whether it is splendid or not, Sue, before I have seen the girl? 42246 Ca n''t you speak a little lower, Sue?
42246Clarice, Clarice, how can you? 42246 Clarissy, are you here?"
42246Confess that you have been wicked and silly? 42246 Did n''t you do anything but just gob-- I mean eat?"
42246Did you put this in my pew?
42246Do n''t it?

42246Do n''t you-- aren''t you fond of walking, Clarice? 42246 Do you remember the three peas in the Andersen story?"

42246How could you? 42246 How could you?"
42246How dare you steal her things? 42246 How dare you?"
42246I gave mine to you, to put in your pocket; do n''t you remember?
42246I think you are an angel; is n''t she, Mary? 42246 Is n''t it lovely, Clarice?"
42246Is n''t that bully? 42246 Is n''t that hard, Mary?
42246Is n''t this jolly?
42246Is she willing, Sue?
42246It''s real lonesome, is n''t it?
42246Mary,said Tom,"do you know what?"
42246Not now, Lily; do n''t you see I am in a terrible hurry? 42246 Now, that is real comfortable-- perfectly comfortable; and it does fit alegant, do n''t it?"
42246Now, then, Quicksilver,said Tom,"where are you a- coming to?
42246Of course you know a great, great deal more than I do; I-- I only thought--"There, do you see?
42246Oh, Mary, have you heard?
42246Oh, Mary, what do you think? 42246 Oh, Mrs. Hart,"she cried,"did you see her?
42246Oh, Shakspere''s play? 42246 Oh, Sue, how could you?
42246Oh, Susie,said Lily,"will you help me with my dolly''s dress?
42246Oh, did you? 42246 Oh, what can have happened to her?"
42246Play in my new dresses, and get them all tumbled? 42246 Rather hot, and a little cross?"
42246Ready for grub? 42246 Shall I telephone,"said Sue,"or shall I send a pigeon?

42246Somebody shinnin''down the door- post!--a boy, is it? 42246 Sue Penrose, are you crazy?
42246Sue, how can you talk so? 42246 Sue, what do you mean?"
42246Sue, where have you been?
42246Sue, will you pass the sandwiches? 42246 Thank you, my dear,"said Mrs. Penrose, doubtfully;"is n''t Clarice here?
42246That is pretty, is n''t it, Mary-- I mean Clarice?
42246The police, sir?
42246There, dear,she cried;"is n''t this lovely?
42246These-- little-- ragamuffins?
42246This hat wo n''t hold water any more; will yours? 42246 This is soul- stirring,"said Tom( who did sometimes show that he was fifteen, though not often),"but did n''t I hear something about toasts?"
42246Tore these all to pieces?
42246Very rich,Sue went on;"and her clothes are simply fine; and-- and-- oh, Mother, is n''t it elegant?"
42246We are not going to walk, are we?
42246Well, Mary dear?
42246What did you take?
42246What do you want?
42246What does your mother say?
42246What happened, Tom?
42246What have you done, madam? 42246 What shall we do?"
42246What should we do but laugh? 42246 What upon earth is that?"
42246Where''s Mammy? 42246 Who has a daughter?"
42246Who is going to take you to the circus?
42246Who is to do the reading, I should like to know?
42246Who''ll count out?
42246Whom have you been talking with, child? 42246 Why did I come to this hateful, poky place?"
42246Why did n''t you join the girls, instead of hanging behind and scaring them half to death?
42246Why not? 42246 Why, has n''t Mary told you?
42246Why, what have I done, sir, that the police should be after me?
42246Will you hand me my medicine before you go, Sue?
42246Will you have to send it back, Clarice, or can you have it altered here? 42246 Worse than that, sir?"
42246Would you like me to read to you, Mamma?
42246Yes; Sue put a red sugar heart in the corner of the Packard pew, and she and the little girl-- she is n''t little? 42246 You are not-- going-- to tell your mother?"
42246Zuleika, do you love me? 42246 ''Goosey, Gobble, and Ganderee''? 42246 ''Much Ado about Nothing''?
42246A Quicksilver Celebration, eh, Sue?"
42246A stranger,--and that girl, of all the world,--and not have a good look at her?
42246Ai n''t this a pretty chain, now?
42246And did you fly over with her?"
42246And now there are five of us, are n''t there, Lily?"
42246And now we shall all three be friends, like-- like the Dauntless Three, do n''t you know?
42246And she knows all about going to places, and she has lots of money, and-- and so-- oh, Mary, is n''t it exciting?"
42246And we_ are_ glad to take up with you again, are n''t we, boys?"
42246And-- and-- oh, Mrs. Hart, is n''t it wonderful?"
42246Are there any more people coming, did you say?"
42246Are we late?"
42246Are you alone?"
42246But of course I ca n''t be a copy- cat, so I am going to have it Faeroline-- you remember that story about Faeroline?
42246But what famous book-- the name of it, I mean-- expresses what has been the matter with this picnic?"
42246But when Clarice pressed the point, she yielded cheerfully; for was it not Clarice''s party?
42246But you, too, and Teddy?
42246CHAPTER VI AT THE HOTEL"Oh Clarice, is n''t it too bad that it''s raining?"
42246Ca n''t we go to the hotel and telephone to somebody at home?"
42246Can you ever forgive me?"
42246Clarice says what''s the use?
42246Clarice, you are the guest of honor; will you give the first toast?"
42246Clarice,"she added aloud,"he has apologized; Tom has apologized, and that is all he can do, is n''t it?
42246Could it be?
42246Could n''t you get me another sister, about my age?
42246Could this be Sue, the foundling, the deserted child of cloudy British princes?
42246Did you ever see any one walk so?"
42246Did you ever see such hair and eyes?
42246Did you remember apples?
42246Did you see Clarice?
42246Do n''t you hope she will know how to act, and dress up, and things?
42246Do n''t you remember?
42246Do n''t you think it''s a perfectly lovely name, Mary?
42246Do n''t you think they will come, Mary?
42246Do you feel better?
42246Do you know about the Maid of Saragossa?
42246Do you mind a few crumbs?"
42246Do you suppose she would take me as a pupil?
42246Do you think she is going to die?"
42246Do you think she would?
42246Do you think you''ll be all right in a little while?
42246Do you, Leila and Hassan?
42246Does n''t it come off green on your clothes?"
42246Go up to Chester alone-- just you two girls?"
42246Has-- has anything happened?
42246Have some candy?
42246Have some more candy?
42246How can you?
42246How could she ever have thought she cared?
42246How is your mother feeling, Sue?
42246How long had they been in that dreadful place?
42246How was it that no one was to be seen going toward the station, of all the throng that had come up with them in the train?
42246I do n''t suppose you want to go in the rain?
42246I think in the woods it''s pleasant to be alone, do n''t you?"
42246I told you that, did n''t I?
42246Is it far?"
42246Is n''t it damp, though?
42246Is n''t it fine?
42246Is n''t it perfectly splendid, Mary?
42246Is n''t she too perfectly lovely?
42246Is n''t that a perfectly lovely name?
42246Is n''t that perfectly fine, Mary?
42246Is n''t that perfectly fine?"
42246Is n''t that sweet of her?"
42246Is n''t there some one we can borrow money from?
42246Is n''t this day perfectly fine?
42246Is that why you are so pale?"
42246It''s the prettiest name I ever heard of; do n''t you think so, Mary?
42246Let the boys and Lily see you humbling yourself-- you, who have always been the proud one?
42246Mammy, do you believe that?
42246Mammy, do you believe that?"
42246Mary, is n''t she funny?
42246Mary,_ will_ you look at her hat?"
42246Now you hand over them fifty cents, little lady; see?
42246Now, can you say some of it, Clarice?"
42246Oh, Mary, I just ca n''t wait to see her; can you?
42246Oh, Mary, what''s the use of not being_ human_?
42246Oh, if she could only look like that, what would she not give?
42246One day Mrs. Hart said:"Mary, how would you like to ask little Lily to come and spend the afternoon with you?
42246Or Cochrane''s''Bonny Grizzy''?
42246Other girl faint?
42246Packard?"
42246Perhaps to- morrow-- what do you say, Mammy?
42246Sha''n''t I let out your belt for you?"
42246Sha''n''t we have a glorious picnic?
42246She had lost them all, and for what?
42246Sue, in bitterness of spirit, thought,"How about the diamond chain?"
42246Sue, what is the matter?"
42246Suppose you invite the girl here and let me see her?
42246Teddy, you''ve got the handkerchief, have n''t you?
42246That one in the pale blue silk tights-- could he really be human, and go about on other days clad like other men?
42246That''s all right, ai n''t it?
42246The girl here says I could have the law of you to get back the money my mouse ring cost,--""What girl?"
42246Thermometer smashed, and mercury running all over the lot, eh?"
42246They were playing Indians again, were they?
42246To- day?
42246Tom was Hawkeye, of course; but who was Uncas in her stead?
42246Was this a girl of fifteen, whimpering like a baby?
42246Was this the friend for whom she had given up Mary?
42246Was this their Quicksilver Sue?
42246Was this their Sue?
42246We got it up for you; and we want you to have everything just as you like it; do n''t we, Mary?"
42246Well, I told you how they made friends?"
42246Well, where was I?"
42246What are you going to wear?
42246What came next?"
42246What could have happened?
42246What did Sue care for such stuff?
42246What did this all mean?
42246What fire that a Delaware can light would burn the child of my fathers?''
42246What had happened?
42246What is her name?"
42246What is the matter, my dear?"
42246What number?"
42246What one would you like?
42246What shall we do, then?
42246What shall we do?"
42246What shall we read first?
42246What should she do?
42246What was Clarice saying?
42246What were they to do?
42246What would you like to play, Clarice?"
42246What''s the matter, Ed?"
42246What''s this, again?
42246What?"
42246What_ would_ you like to do, Clarice?"
42246When I grow up, Mary, do you know what I am going to do?
42246When can we go?
42246Where are you going?"
42246Which do you think would be prettiest, Mary?"
42246Who ever heard of a young lady going into a circus?
42246Who is it that has a daughter?"
42246Why do n''t you all go and have a good game of''I spy''in the orchard?"
42246Why should they be following us?
42246Why was Sue so impetuous, so unguided?
42246Why was she not thoughtful and considerate, like Mary Hart?
42246Why, what would there be to like about it?"
42246Why-- why, Mary, dear child, what is the matter?"
42246Will she or Katy be able to get up something for you, do you think?"
42246Will you call him, please?"
42246Wo n''t you tell me about it as we go along?
42246Would n''t it be lovely, Mary, to come up out of the ground, and find you could grow, and put out leaves, and then have flowers?
42246You are all right now, are n''t you?"
42246You are very much pleased with her, are you, Sue dear?"
42246You do n''t mind, do you, Mary, if Clarice is Titania this time?
42246You remember Annie, who used to live with us?
42246You would n''t be so rude, Mary, as to stare at her where she can see you?
42246_ when_ we get our Sue back again, wo n''t she be surprised to see how much you have learned, and how many of our plays you know?
42246did n''t I tell you?
42246did you-- have you got the purses?"
42246do n''t they still bleed people sometimes, when they have n''t got salts and things?
42246gold stick- pins?
42246had you?"
42246how did you manage to escape the police?"
42246if I were very, very wicked, could you forgive me?--if I were very dreadfully wicked?"
42246is it really you?
42246is n''t it cruel?
42246of course, and all Mrs. Ewing, and''Prince Prigio,''and''The Gentle Heritage,''and the Alices, and all the Waverleys?"
42246or would Friday be better?"
42246she began, in a wheedling voice,"so you had your pockets picked, my dears, had you?
42246two or three times, and began:"Is n''t it perfectly splendid, Mary?
42246was that a foot on the stairs?
42246what shall I do?"
42246what was that?
42246what would not one find?
42246what''s your name?"
42246who is that?"
42246who said anything about tight lacing?
42246why did I come?"
42246why, what''s this?
27985''Twinkle, twinkle, little star, Shall we see you from afar? 27985 And where was nurse?"
27985Are n''t you an innocent child?
27985Are n''t you going to tell Connie that Charlie was a naughty boy?
27985Are you coming to see us play, or are you going away for Thanksgiving?
27985Are you going to recite geometry in this first section?
27985Are you sure you feel quite well, dear?
27985But suppose this girl merely takes advantage of your kindness and involves you all in another tangle?
27985But what about Connie? 27985 But why all this haste?
27985But you wo n''t mind my sitting on one of your everyday cushions, just as close to you as I can get, will you?
27985By the way, Marjorie, where is Mary? 27985 Can Irma and Connie and I come, too?"
27985Can you beat that?
27985Captain,begged Marjorie, as the three girls appeared in her room, after going upstairs,"please let us stay up as late as we wish to- night?
27985Charlie boy, try to tell Mary, where was he when the cross girl got him?
27985Did we see it? 27985 Did you dance too much?"
27985Did you enjoy the dance? 27985 Did you have a nice time?"
27985Do n''t you feel well?
27985Do n''t you remember I told you long ago that that was why I felt so drawn toward Connie in the first place?
27985Do n''t you remember the time she sang at Muriel''s party, two years ago? 27985 Do you miss anyone?
27985Do you need any help?
27985Do you really mean that you wish to come to live with me and enter Sanford High? 27985 Does Mary know of the contemplated reform?"
27985Does your letter from Connie contain bad news? 27985 Girls, did you see Mignon''s face when Connie was singing?"
27985Has Mary come in, Delia?
27985Has n''t Miss Dean ever spoken to you of me?
27985Have you ever said anything to Mary about you-- and me-- and things last year?
27985Have you lived long in Sanford?
27985Have you won the fight, Lieutenant?
27985Here, here, where do I come in?
27985How are we going to begin our reform movement?
27985How can you accuse me of not telling the truth?
27985How can you be so harsh with this cunning boy?
27985How do you do?
27985How do you like Miss Archer? 27985 How?"
27985Irma, do you suppose your mother would n''t like you to-- to-- be friendly with Mignon?
27985Is Laurie going to help you with your songs?
27985Is Miss Archer busy, Marcia?
27985Is it chok''lit ice cream?
27985Is n''t he a perfect darling?
27985Is n''t he dear?
27985Is n''t it splendid that we can have a minute to ourselves?
27985Is she here yet?
27985Is that you, Mary?
27985It has n''t been very pleasant for you this year, has it?
27985Marjorie, will you ever forget how happy Charlie was last year?
27985Oh, Captain,Marjorie touched a hand to her bathing cap,"how many of them are for me?"
27985Oh, Mary, where were you?
27985Oh, why not, Connie?
27985Or is n''t it any of our business? 27985 Shall I stop the car in the middle of the street and assure you of my willingness to increase my regiment?"
27985Shall we do, Captain? 27985 She''s a cross girl,"he observed calmly, as he marched along beside Mary,"but we do n''t care, do we?"
27985So_ that''s_ the reason, is it?
27985That is rather a doubtful compliment, is n''t it?
27985That we are n''t chums any more?
27985Then, why do n''t you?
27985To change the subject, would you like to go shopping with me this afternoon?
27985Well, Mary,Mrs. Dean spoke at last,"what have you to say for yourself?"
27985Well, Miss Dean, what is it?
27985Well,jeered Mary,"who was it, then?"
27985Well,_ what_ do you think of that?
27985Well,_ what_ do you think of that?
27985Went to Mignon''s?
27985What are you doing away over here after dark?
27985What are you going to do first in the way of reform, Lieutenant?
27985What are you going to say to them, Marjorie?
27985What did Miss Archer mean when she spoke of you and Miss Stevens-- and last year''s storms?
27985What did you say to Marjorie this morning?
27985What do they do in Spain?
27985What do you mean by stealing into our room and listening to our private conversation?
27985What do you mean?
27985What do you think of that, Captain? 27985 What do you want?"
27985What has happened to my brigade?
27985What has happened, Marjorie?
27985What is it, Connie?
27985What is it, Harriet?
27985What is the matter, dear?
27985What is the trouble, girls?
27985What is the use in buying stamps if you do n''t intend to correspond?
27985What makes you look so solemn, dear?
27985What would General say, if he were here?
27985What''s the matter with your friend, Mary Raymond, Marjorie?
27985What''s the matter?
27985What_ can_ I say to her?
27985What_ is_ the matter? 27985 Whatever made you lock your door?
27985Where are_ you_ going?
27985Where did you receive it?
27985Where have I seen you before?
27985Where is Mary?
27985Where were Connie and Auntie when you ran away?
27985Who are you?
27985Who is Professor Harmon?
27985Who is going to sing the Princess?
27985Who says I''m not a poet?
27985Who sits in front of me?
27985Who told you, Jerry?
27985Who''s he?
27985Who''s sleepy? 27985 Why do n''t you ask Laurie to interfere?"
27985Why do n''t you say''jealous''? 27985 Why do you ask?"
27985Why not?
27985Why should we?
27985Why, Lieutenant, what''s the matter? 27985 Why, Marjorie, your friend looks like Connie, does n''t she?"
27985Why, what ails Constance, Marjorie?
27985Will you come upstairs with me, please?
27985You are just as anxious as I for Mary to come and live with us, are n''t you?
27985You are not going away with him?
27985You have oceans of room here, have n''t you?
27985You know we''d love to have you, would n''t we, Mary?
27985You remember last year-- and Mignon La Salle?
27985You thought it was Connie, did n''t you?
27985And did you see her march in here with Mary Raymond?
27985And suppose when she offered it Mary were to refuse it?
27985And was it her imagination, or had Mary glanced up as she entered and then turned away her eyes?
27985And what do you think he wishes me to do?"
27985And why should this Jerry Macy place her and Constance on the same plane in Marjorie''s affection?
27985Are my eyes very red?
27985Are we absolutely spick and span?"
27985Besides, was it not Lawrence Armitage''s opera?
27985But dared she trust it to the mail service?
27985But how had they better begin?
27985But how was she to do it?
27985But now the question again confronted her,"To whom shall I send it?"
27985But what had the French girl said about Constance?
27985But what happened to them?
27985But what of Constance?"
27985But why wo n''t she be in high school this year?
27985But----""Did she really say that?"
27985CHAPTER XII THE COMPACT"DEAR IRMA,"wrote Marjorie, the moment she reached her desk,"will you meet me across the street from school this afternoon?
27985Could it be possible that Mary had written the note?
27985Could she believe her ears?
27985Could she believe her ears?
27985Did Charlie run away?"
27985Did Jerry tell you that Laurie Armitage has finished his operetta?
27985Did n''t you, Jerry?"
27985Did she say anything to you?"
27985Do I miss anyone?
27985Do n''t you agree with me?"
27985Do n''t you remember, I wrote you all about it?
27985Do n''t you think I am right about it?
27985Do you hear me?
27985Do you hear that train whistling?
27985Do you mean a girl in our class, Irma?"
27985Do you suppose I''d have spoiled our reform, after all the trouble we''ve had making it go, if I''d known they were there?"
27985Do you understand me?
27985Do you?"
27985Even if Connie says I may tell Mary everything, will it be quite fair to Mignon?
27985Had her hitherto- beloved Marjorie been guilty of trouble- making?
27985Had not Marjorie declared over and over again that she would never part with it?
27985Had not Mary threatened, in the heat of her anger, that if Marjorie told her mother of their disagreement she would never speak to her again?
27985Has she moved away from Sanford?
27985Have you met Constance, Mary?
27985How could she help it?"
27985How could she inform Captain of the compact she and her friends had made without involving Mary in it?
27985How dared she treat you so?"
27985How do we look?"
27985How long have you been in Sanford?"
27985How many minutes, Jerry?"
27985How was I to know what she meant?"
27985How was she to return little Charlie to Gray Gables without meeting Constance Stevens or another member of her family?
27985I guess you know who is to blame for it, do n''t you?"
27985I guessed it, did n''t I?"
27985I heard her say,''How can I get my wraps?''
27985I wonder what''s upset her sweet, retiring disposition?"
27985I wonder where she is?"
27985Is Marjorie here?"
27985Is n''t it a shame she''s back again?
27985Is n''t it funny that your two dearest friends should look alike?
27985Is n''t it splendid, Mr. Stevens, to see him so well and lively?"
27985Is n''t she splendid?"
27985It is all past, and, as long as so few persons know about it, do n''t you think it would be better to let it rest?"
27985It is really a compact?"
27985It''s too bad, is n''t it, Miss Mary, that the reform could n''t go on?"
27985Jerry, do you suppose Hal would be willing to see Lawrie and the Crane and some of our boys?
27985Just what did Mignon mean by intimating that several persons were"going to be surprised"when to- morrow''s practice game was over?
27985Life would be a desert waste without high school, would n''t it?"
27985Mary, dear, ca n''t we start over again?
27985Mary,"her vibrant tones throbbed with tender sympathy,"wo n''t you take back what you''ve said and believe in me?"
27985Now does the light begin to break?"
27985Now, which are you, sick or sleepy?"
27985Now, would you?"
27985Oh, Mary, wo n''t it be perfectly splendid?"
27985Oh, well, she reflected, what difference did it make?
27985Or must we go to Miss Archer to straighten things?"
27985Otherwise, how had it happened to be made up of Mignon''s admiring satellites?
27985Poor Mignon, I wonder if she will ever wake up?"
27985Say, Marjorie, do you think it''s really worth while to go out of our way to reform Mignon?
27985Shall we go upstairs now?
27985She did n''t give you one yesterday, did she?"
27985She ran toward Connie, calling out,"What is the matter?"
27985Should she choose a fifth subject?
27985Should she speak her mind once and for all to Marjorie, or should she go on enduring in silence?
27985Should she tell Captain about it?
27985Suppose it were not delivered until afternoon?
27985Suppose she should n''t be in favor of the S. F. R. M.?
27985Taking in the circle of girls with a quick, bright glance, she asked:"Then you are agreed to my plan?
27985Tell me, are you or are you not a sophomore?
27985That we''ll be sophomores together?"
27985The following changes have been made: who were maknig_ changed to_ who were making Do you miss anyone?
27985Then she said to Charlie,"If Mary takes you home will you promise her something?"
27985Then, before Irma had time to reply, she continued:"_ What_ do you think of Mignon?
27985Then, lowering her voice, she asked:"Is Mary going to the game?"
27985Unusually sensitive to impressions, she had perhaps felt their presence, for she asked abruptly,"Girls, have you seen Mary?
27985Was Marjorie a naughty girl to tease her when her was so sick?"
27985Was it big brother Hal?"
27985Was it her imagination, or did Mary''s cordiality seem a trifle forced?
27985Was it possible that Marjorie Dean had never mentioned her to her friend?
27985Was it really Mary, her soldier chum, with whom she had stood shoulder to shoulder for so many years, who had thus arraigned her?
27985Was n''t that a wonderful throw to basket that Muriel made?"
27985Was n''t that horrid?
27985Was not her father the richest man in the town?
27985What could she do?
27985What could she do?
27985What could she do?
27985What did I tell you?"
27985What did it all mean?
27985What do you make of it?"
27985What do you suppose this mysterious mission can be?"
27985What girl does not love a mystery?
27985What has happened to estrange you two, who have been chums for so many years?
27985What is it?"
27985What is mere ice cream when compared to a dance?
27985What on earth ailed Mary?
27985What should she do?
27985What should she say?
27985What was it her General had said about the worst person having some good in his nature that sooner or later was sure to manifest itself?
27985What would Marjorie and her mother think when they saw her?
27985Where is Mary?
27985Where was Marjorie all that time, I wonder?
27985Who is willing to be the first martyr to the cause?
27985Who knows what manner of girl is in store for us?
27985Who of you is at fault in the matter?"
27985Who was that tall, dark man with Laurie and Professor Harmon?"
27985Why do n''t you enlighten her on the subject of Mignon and her doings?"
27985Why does n''t she come home with you in the afternoon?
27985Why had n''t Connie come to school?
27985Why is she so bitter against you, Marjorie?"
27985Why must she be compelled to hear continually of Constance Stevens?
27985Why must she be constantly reminded of her resemblance to one she disliked so intensely?
27985Why not purposely leave Marjorie out of her calculations?
27985Why not unburden herself to her chum now and find relief from her torture of doubt?
27985Why, where is she?
27985Will Miss Stevens please come forward?"
27985Will you kindly cease talking and take seats?"
27985Will you kiss me?"
27985Will you trust me?"
27985Wo n''t it be fun to rehearse?
27985Wo n''t that be glorious?
27985Wo n''t we, girls?"
27985Would n''t that be glorious?"
27985Would n''t that be great?"
27985Would you like to go with me?"
27985You are n''t sick, are you?
27985You understand the way I feel, do n''t you?"
27985_ changed to_"Do you miss anyone?
28805''If Rider Haggard had been Lew Wallace, what would''She''have been?''
28805A man? 28805 All ready, all?"
28805An''waste Mrs. Calvert''s good money, whilst there''s a lot of idlers on her premises, eatin''her out of house and home? 28805 And leave the house wide open this way?"
28805Are you going back there?
28805Are you sorry you started the affair, Dolly Doodles? 28805 Are you sure she is n''t in her room?"
28805But how can we? 28805 But how could her heart, the heart of any woman, remain hard against the sight of her orphan grandchildren?"
28805But if those children are his grandchildren, what are they doing here?
28805But the wool? 28805 But to miss the Fair?
28805But where will you get chicken to fry?
28805But who did solve the silly thing, first off?
28805Can Alfy drive-- safe?
28805Could Luna have stolen it, that foolish one?
28805Cuanto? 28805 Dear Aunt Betty, will you do this for a man you do not like?"
28805Dear Mr. Seth, you love my darling Aunt Betty, too, do n''t you, like everybody does?
28805Did ever you see eyes so bright? 28805 Did he know Rose?"
28805Did n''t she ride home with_ you_?
28805Did n''t you?
28805Did you get it back, lad?
28805Do n''t you change it no more, then, Dorothy C.?
28805Do n''t you know how much curiosity I have? 28805 Do you know the owner?"
28805Do you mean it, Dorothy C.?
28805Do you not? 28805 Do you suppose it blew out of the window and she picked it up?"
28805Does he know? 28805 Dolly, shall you go to The Towers, to see that Montaigne girl?"
28805Ever hear the story of General Lafayette and this creek, Melvin?
28805Go? 28805 Have n''t I?
28805Helena and Melvin? 28805 Helena home?
28805How can it come right? 28805 How could you?"
28805How do you know, Dorothy?
28805How many did you use?
28805How many girls now, Alfy?
28805How?
28805I wonder what it was he told him?
28805I? 28805 Indeed?
28805Is it something Dorothy may hear?
28805Is n''t that Mr. Shelton''s horse?
28805It was n''t your flesh, was it?
28805It''s real purty in here, ai n''t it? 28805 Killing generally does mean death, Jim Barlow, but if you knew that splendid tree was bound to fall some day why did n''t you say so?
28805Leah-- that''s Luna? 28805 Miss Greatorex?
28805Next?
28805Now which shall I fit first?
28805Say, sonny, what made you tumble in the brook? 28805 So the farrier has been talking, eh?
28805So you asked him for a lift down?
28805That bunch? 28805 That man?
28805Then you come from Rosado?
28805They''ve found their own place you see; will it do?
28805This morning, Aunt Betty, in all this rain? 28805 Tramps?
28805Well, why do n''t you get a regular woodman to chop it up, then?
28805Were n''t you scared? 28805 What all shall we cook?
28805What are those men doing to the roof?
28805What in the world do you want of a rope?
28805What is it men and women all despise, Yet one and all so highly prize? 28805 What makes thee think he is unhappy?"
28805What should I be afraid of? 28805 What''s up, boys?"
28805What''s yours, twinsy? 28805 What''they,''Miss Molly?"
28805What? 28805 Where do you come from?"
28805Where''d they pick up two such little owls? 28805 Which one?
28805Who is Luna? 28805 Who left that gate open?
28805Who''s for church?
28805Who''s she? 28805 Whose''Party''is this?"
28805Why do you fancy anything''s amiss, lassie?
28805Why do you leave yours, to sleep on the library couch, Ephraim?
28805Why do you stop just there, Jim, in the most interesting part? 28805 Why not?
28805Why, Aunt Betty, please? 28805 Why, Mr. Seth, what do you mean?
28805Why, would anybody be afraid in a big tent like this?
28805Why? 28805 With what, Dolly dear?
28805With whom did you ride?
28805Wo n''t the horses be afraid? 28805 Your horse?"
28805''Now, who''ll take that to the mill?''
28805''Twill be over in a minute, soon''s we get to the inside and have-- you-- got-- your ticket?"
28805A blessing, Dorcas said?
28805A child yourself?"
28805Afterward, we might have a little dance in the barn-- May we, may we?"
28805Ai n''t they beautiful?
28805Ai n''t you ashamed of yourself, Alfy Babcock?
28805And apropos of that subject: What''s the oldest, most unalterable book of etiquette we have?"
28805And how came you with Oliver Sands?
28805And if you do, what shall I say to them for you?"
28805And there, Luna dear, poor Luna, you see we''re off at last and-- isn''t it just lovely?"
28805And when the neighbors ask:''Whose children has thee found?''
28805And why?
28805And-- is Leah here?"
28805Anybody could spend a night here and take no hurt, could n''t she?"
28805Anybody got a ribbon?
28805Anybody got a rope?"
28805Are n''t you the one who always plans the entertainments-- the social ones-- at your school, Brentnor Hall?
28805Are n''t you?"
28805Are tramps on this mountain?
28805Are we never to hear the end of Oliver Sands?
28805Are you down in the dumps, too?
28805Are you in trouble?
28805Are you really goin''to take that loony Luna to meeting?"
28805As for you, Cousin Seth, what has so wearied you?
28805At that''heavenly''place?
28805Baby, which are you?"
28805Baby, which are_ you_?"
28805Beg pardon, girlie, I do n''t want to be cross, but how can I have a decent party if you do n''t help?
28805Besides, her quick ear had caught that"Luna,"and she now impatiently demanded:"Howcome you''knows he''name, Miss Do''thy, an''nebah tole ole Dinah?"
28805But the ten crisp notes she had so spread out in the sight of all-- where were they?
28805But there was one more objector and that outspoken Alfy, who begged of Dorothy, in a sibilant whisper:"Do you mean it?
28805But they had scarcely cleared the grounds when Molly Martin paused to ask:"Where''s Jane Potter?"
28805But, alanna, what''d this big house be widout''em and their pranks?"
28805But, why hesitate?
28805But-- is there a little old woman here, no bigger than a child?
28805By the way, where are they now?"
28805Ca n''t help it, do n''t you know?"
28805Can I have that?
28805Can I help you?"
28805Can I help?"
28805Can thee afford to waste time like this?"
28805Can you?"
28805Cried she, with that characteristic toss of her brown curls:"Well, if everybody_ must_--what can I do to help?
28805Did anybody ever happen to hear of the Sphinx?"
28805Did n''t you feel as if some enemy were after you?"
28805Did you ever see the beat?
28805Did you have any supper?"
28805Did you think I might be dead, then?
28805Do n''t you know this is Sunday?"
28805Do n''t you like the arrangement?"
28805Do n''t you remember how ill they were from Molly''s supply?
28805Do n''t you remember?
28805Do n''t you think they''re lovely, Littlejohn?"
28805Do you know how she makes jelly?"
28805Do you want to keep me awake all night?"
28805Does n''t it seem too bad to leave her out of this?"
28805Does that mean you want to do so now?"
28805Dolly squeezed herself after and stooped above her guest, anxiously asking:"Did that hurt you?
28805Fact, I''d_ admire_, only if I put on my best dress to go callin''in the morning what''ll I have left to wear to the Party?
28805Finally, a stable lad had suddenly propounded the inquiry:"What did you do with that money, anyway, Ephy?
28805Finally, as he lapsed into a reverie she roused him, saying:"What is your errand, please?"
28805Fo''de lan'', Missy, whe''-all''s yo''pride an''mannehs?"
28805Has n''t he come, too?"
28805Has she told you how the twins came here?"
28805Have n''t you seen?
28805Have you done that, then?
28805Have you settled on the play?
28805He was as anxious now to release her as she was to be set free, but his tormentors insisted:"Her name?
28805He was not a superstitious man but he had dreamed of Deerhurst more than once of late and news from Deerhurst?
28805Hear what the Master said?
28805Here, boy, fetch them peanuts this way?
28805Hey, honey?
28805How about you, Littlejohn Smith?"
28805How came she here?
28805How can she do a thing like that?"
28805How can we ever take them in that stage with us?"
28805How come dat yeah-- dis-- What''s hit mean, li''l gal Do''thy?"
28805How could it be like that, then?"
28805How could we do otherwise?
28805How dare you say such a thing?"
28805How ever in this world?
28805How it was mighty easy to start a panic but impossible to stop one, or nigh so?
28805How much do telegrams cost?"
28805How much for him?"
28805How shall eight people be conveyed to that far- away church?"
28805How should I?
28805Hungry, say you?
28805I love young people; and am I not quite a young person myself?"
28805I meant to stay a bit longer out of business, but-- Mrs. Calvert, when''s the next train cityward, please?"
28805I saw no other person anywhere about, did you?"
28805I wonder if we ought to advertise her in the local newspaper?
28805I wonder what?"
28805If I should bring her back to it, would you let her go out of it sometimes, into the world where she belongs?
28805If I would bring her back?"
28805If he were human where could he go?
28805In other words:"Did she send the money?"
28805Indeed, when there came a knock on the outer door he started, and quickly demanded:"Well?"
28805Inviting them south- siders that made such a lot of trouble when you lived''up- mounting''afore your folks leased their farm?"
28805Is n''t it lovely to be a rich girl and just ask for as much money as you want and get it?
28805Is she here?
28805Is she lost again?"
28805Is she safe?"
28805Is telephoning cheaper?
28805It''s better for them and we should n''t have been let anyway, and-- where''s Helena?"
28805It''s getting real near breakfast time; and dear Aunt Betty, will you please send me another one hundred dollars by the return of the mail?
28805James was listening now and inquired:"What you raking up old times for, Dorothy?
28805Jolly Molly, and Jim to drive?
28805Just as this was Dorothy''s and somebody else managed it; eh, lassie?
28805May I keep them here?
28805May I, please?"
28805Meanwhile, what had this rainy day seen at Heartsease Farm?
28805Molly M. How''d you look, rockin''along on that old mare?
28805Monty is in a fix-- how shall we get him out?"
28805Monty, will you ride to the village and send that telegram to Mabel Bruce?"
28805Most of you know it by sight; eh?"
28805Mouths so wide agape?
28805Mrs. Calvert looked keenly into her darling''s eyes, and after a moment, answered:"I might be willing; but should you desert your guests?
28805Next?"
28805Next?"
28805Nobody, of course, except Alfaretta, and the first thing that girl would be sure to ask would be:"Have you caught your hare?"
28805Now, who''ll accept?
28805Now-- see the pretty horses?"
28805Oliver, does thee hear?
28805Oliver,_ did thee know Rose?_"This was the"plain speech"with a vengeance!
28805On yo''way dar, sah?"
28805Or a little play in the big barn?"
28805Or, do you think it would be kinder to wait and let her people hunt her up?
28805Or-- was it Ananias?
28805Ought you?
28805Partings?
28805Preferred to chop wood, did he?
28805Problem: If a small school dictionary can work such havoc with a young maid''s brain will the Unabridged drive her to a lunatic asylum?
28805Remember how she clung to those bits of gay rags Dinah found on her?
28805Satisfactory all round?"
28805Saturday would be a nice time to begin the Party, do n''t you all think?"
28805See Sapphi-- Ruth, see them stairs?
28805See?
28805See?
28805Sensible, but not too- sensitive, Alfaretta shook her head, and asked:"Do you know how to make a hare pie?"
28805Shall I tell it?"
28805She does n''t look like either-- is she sleep- walking?
28805Six boys-- how many yet Alfy?"
28805Snoring?
28805So gently Dolly moved that he did not hear her, and she had gone around him to stand before his face ere he looked up and said:"Thee?
28805So, as she bade him good- night she asked:"Is it anything I can help, dear Master?"
28805Somebody breathing?
28805Supposing somebody had stolen in and stolen them?
28805Supposing that was why he was sleeping in the library?
28805Tell me, quick, quick; and if you know her home?"
28805That fellow?
28805That is n''t dividing even; and if it''s such an awful long way had n''t we-- shouldn''t-- shan''t we be terrible late to dinner?"
28805That plain old white linen?
28805That''s what society is for, is what it means, is n''t it?
28805The scene at Heartsease?
28805Thee is the little girl that''s had such a story- paper kind of life, is n''t thee?
28805Then I asked:''How much will you pay, Friend Oliver, toward the support of Hiram Bowen at St. Michael''s Hospital?''
28805Then he scratched his head and asked in a whisper:"Can you tell who she looks like?
28805Then, course, you would n''t leave them just anywhere, out of doors, would you?
28805Thence it was presently lifted, when Mrs. Calvert said:"Now the lost is found, I''d like to inquire what shall be done with it?
28805There was a swift exchange of glances between him and the young hostess as she returned:"Shall I say?"
28805This is exceedingly painful to hear, but to what does it tend?"
28805Those grapes knew that you wanted them, that I wanted to get them for you, and see how they act?
28805To see me?
28805Until Mabel Bruce suddenly demanded:"Where''s their other clothes?"
28805Well, Dorothy, what is it?
28805Well, Mabel?
28805Well, my dear?"
28805Were n''t they horrid?
28805What can that mean?
28805What connection had this beauty with riddles, if you please?"
28805What could have become of them?
28805What do you know about her?"
28805What does she want?"
28805What has that poor, learned dear to do with it?"
28805What have you horrid boys been doing out there in the barn so early, waking tired little girls out of their beauty- sleep?"
28805What is it?
28805What is it?
28805What might not be done with a whole one hundred dollars?
28805What next?"
28805What say?"
28805What shall it be?
28805What was that sound?
28805What will Mr. Winters say?
28805What will you do?"
28805What yo''s''posin''my Miss Betty gwine ter say when she heahs ob dis yeah cuttin''s up?
28805What you goin''to make, yourself, Dorothy Calvert?"
28805What''s the use of spoiling a splendid time?
28805What''s your name, little boy?
28805What-- what-- shall I do?
28805What?
28805Whatever is the matter?
28805Where did you get all that, Dorothy Calvert?"
28805Where is he?"
28805Where is that Seth Winters?"
28805Which kings possess not?
28805Which one have you caught?"
28805Which?
28805Who betters me?"
28805Who ever heard tell of a stove in a barn?"
28805Who had taken them?
28805Who is for that?"
28805Who is he?"
28805Who knows but that was the key to unlock her closed intelligence?
28805Who wants to, anyway?
28805Who''s your next boy?"
28805Who, what can it mean?"
28805Why all that?"
28805Why do you stand like that, pointing out into the night as if you''d seen a ghost?"
28805Why, Dolly darling, you-- what''s wrong, honey?
28805Why, child, do you know whose money that was?"
28805Why?
28805Will you assign the characters and let us get to studying, so we can make a success of it to- night?"
28805Will you forgive and wait?"
28805With such a-- a good man; is n''t he?"
28805Wo n''t you get that bronchitis again?
28805Would n''t we better wait till morning?"
28805Would the man never tell his errand?
28805Would you let her come to visit me?
28805Would you put your pride aside and-- do right?
28805Would you take her to meeting with you as is her birthright?
28805Yet, if there had been thievery there, would n''t he have kept awake, to watch?
28805You awake at last?
28805You seem so anxious to speak?"
28805You?
28805_ Dorothy''s House Party._] CHAPTER XI MORNING TALKS"Did anybody ever know such a succession of beautiful days?"
28805_ I!_ On my way to a circus?
28805and not Aunt Betty?
28805and say, Dolly, which of all them pretty dresses are you goin''to put on?
28805has anybody told him that I suspected him?"
28805her name?
28805is thee possessed?"
28805must we?
28805thee?"
28805will he take the twins away?"
28805with all you young folks in it?
44862''Is that all?''
44862A week?
44862About the necklace?
44862And by the way, you''re from the Spring City Flying School, are n''t you? 44862 And did you succeed in getting a nurse?"
44862And is that all?
44862And is your ambition flying?
44862And may I have him for a friend?
44862And may I see you when you are trying it on?
44862And now the question is, who can teach you to fly? 44862 And now,"added Linda,"will one of your mechanics look over my plane and put it away till tomorrow?
44862And somebody had already picked it up?
44862And suppose nothing does?
44862And will you be back in time for dinner?
44862And will you dictate that to a stenographer, and send a copy to Ted by air- mail?
44862And you do n''t think he''s wicked, just because his father is, do you, Aunt Emily?
44862And-- er-- how did you and this thief happen to be together?
44862Any news?
44862Are n''t you afraid if you do n''t exercise, you''ll lose it?
44862Are n''t you sleepy too?
44862Are the pearls safe?
44862Are you ready, Aunt Emily?
44862Are you scared at all, Linda?
44862Are you sure that you have the precious necklace?
44862Are you sure?
44862Are you willing to have me take Ted back again?
44862Aunt Emily has been doing all the shopping, so I hardly need to do anything.... By the way, did Kit give you any gossip about the crowd?
44862Baby- talk?
44862But are you a friend or an enemy of Mr. Mackay, Miss----?
44862But are you sure you''ve finished dinner?
44862But can you give me any news of my plane?
44862But did you say''Who''or''You''?
44862But do n''t you want something to eat before you start back?
44862But does that account for that whole crowd?
44862But have n''t you had enough flying for today, Linda?
44862But how do you explain it all, Ted?
44862But how do you explain the fact that he was shot? 44862 But not as much of it as you do of me?"
44862But tomorrow?
44862But what about me?
44862But what do you girls want me to do?
44862But whom will you ask? 44862 But would n''t you rather leave your plane and taxi over?"
44862But you are a new pilot, are n''t you?
44862But you do believe I''m capable, do n''t you, Ted?
44862But you know where he lives?
44862But you will?
44862By other men in the company----"Are they here?
44862By the way, daughter, have you ever tried jumping with a parachute? 44862 By the way, did you tell your father about finding the necklace?
44862By the way, how soon will you take me for a fly?
44862Can you give us directions?
44862Can you tell me where Dr. Lineaweaver, the surgeon, can be located?
44862Children,interrupted Miss Carlton, who had been patiently waiting to serve the refreshments,"would n''t you all feel better if you ate something?
44862Could you get him on the telephone for me?
44862Daddy--she lowered her voice--"you do n''t mind my being with Ted Mackay?
44862Daddy?
44862Dan Stillman?
44862Dan?
44862Did I do anything wrong?
44862Did Linda see much of Mackay while she was at the school?
44862Did he act as if he wanted to get out of the hospital as quickly as possible?
44862Did n''t I supply the brains to our combine?
44862Did you bring my necklace, Ralph?
44862Do I have to give one box to that lazy kid?
44862Do n''t you feel so, Ted?
44862Do you feel better, dear?
44862Do you know him?
44862Do you mean he''s here?
44862Do you mean that you saw somebody take it-- right under your eyes?
44862Do you mind missing it, my dear?
44862Do you really mean it, Aunt Emily?
44862Do you remember a man named Clavering, Tom?
44862Do you remember hearing a plane very close to the house when we were playing ping- pong last night?
44862Do you think he is a tramp?
44862Do you think it''s the Waco?
44862Doctors?
44862Does n''t everybody want to fly now- a- days?
44862Does''ou fink me cute?
44862Even so, I do n''t have to admire her appearance, do I?
44862Flying?
44862Get our wire?
44862Grieving for papa?
44862Has anybody found the treasure yet?
44862Has he been so, long?
44862Hate-- trees?
44862Have you any idea what is wrong with the plane?
44862He did n''t say anything about the detectives?
44862He would n''t do a thing like that, would he?
44862He''s big-- with red hair, and blue eyes, Why? 44862 Here?"
44862Holding hands with Red?
44862How about some lunch?
44862How about tomorrow morning?
44862How about your pistol?
44862How about your school- girl figure?
44862How could I, Aunt Emily? 44862 How could you know that I wanted it so much?"
44862How do you do?
44862How do you know?
44862How does his company feel about it?
44862How soon do you think you''ll get your license?
44862How''s the shoulder this morning?
44862How''s the shoulder?
44862How''s your wound?
44862How-- how-- is Daddy?
44862How?
44862How?
44862I guess you did n''t recognize her, did you, Louise? 44862 I mean-- you''d rather bring your instructor back with us, and fly it, would n''t you?"
44862I might be killed-- and then who would take care of you? 44862 I suppose it is not so unusual now to have girls as students?"
44862If I admit I''m jealous of Redhead, and say I''m sorry,conceded Ralph,"will you forgive me and go to the dance with me tonight?"
44862In trouble?
44862Is he downstairs now?
44862Is my father still alive?
44862Is n''t four days enough? 44862 Is n''t it all horrible?
44862Is n''t there something you could do?
44862Is she going to announce her engagement to Ralph Clavering, or Harriman Smith?
44862Is something worrying you, dear? 44862 Is the world as sad as all that?"
44862Is there anything at all, Linda, that I can do for you?
44862It is not our custom to take students up on the first day, Miss Carlton.... Now, have you a notebook and pencil?
44862It''s strange country to you?
44862Just friends?
44862Linda,interrupted her father, as he saw her start away,"where are you going?
44862Maurice Stetson? 44862 May I be the first to congratulate you?"
44862May n''t I even speak to him?
44862Miss Carlton?
44862Must we go back so soon, Aunt Emily?
44862My present?
44862No, but really--?
44862No, only why did n''t you come to the house first?
44862Oh, is that all?
44862Oh, is that so?
44862Open cockpit?
44862Ought n''t there to be a trained nurse?
44862Passed your physical exam, did n''t you?
44862Ralph has n''t heard anything more, has he?
44862Roger, would you really do that?
44862Roger? 44862 Serious work?"
44862So that you will know where I am, in case you need any help with your Arrow.... You-- you-- don''t mind?
44862So you''re really going to learn, too?
44862Solo flying? 44862 Sure you do n''t want to be with your young friends?"
44862Ted Mackay?
44862Ted,she said, finally,"could I have just one little talk with you, to clear things up-- before I go away?"
44862The big field? 44862 The famous Lindy''s namesake?...
44862Then Linda has n''t any partner?
44862Then how do you explain it? 44862 Then how do you explain it?"
44862Then may I ask what reason you have for wishing to see Mr. Mackay at this particular time?
44862Then they were from you?
44862Then you do n''t really blame me?
44862Then,she pleaded, and she was radiant again with enthusiasm,"could n''t_ I_ be your responsibility?"
44862This-- Mackay--he said slowly,"he is n''t your only instructor?"
44862Tomorrow?
44862Trying to beat her record?
44862Want any help?
44862Was it in a box?
44862Was n''t it a dreadful experience?
44862Was the man hurt so horribly?
44862Was the plane a Waco?
44862Well, can we?
44862Well, it''s settled then, about the summer, is n''t it?
44862Well, then, why was he following you?
44862Well, then-- Redhead? 44862 Well, there is n''t any law that says a girl ca n''t go with two men, is there?"
44862What about?
44862What are you children going to do this evening?
44862What are you planning to do this afternoon, dear?
44862What can we do? 44862 What do you mean?"
44862What do you think of that?
44862What does Linda think about the affair?
44862What kind of plane is it, Linda?
44862What was it, my dear?
44862What''s his name?
44862What''s the big idea?
44862What''s the fellow look like?
44862What''s the matter?
44862What''s the matter?
44862What''s this?
44862What-- what''s wrong-- Kit?
44862What?
44862What?
44862What?
44862What?
44862What?
44862When will the doctor be back?
44862Where are we going?
44862Where are you going dear?
44862Where did you get''em? 44862 Where does he go?"
44862Who can that be? 44862 Who do you suppose that is?"
44862Whom?
44862Why are n''t you going with Linda?
44862Why do n''t you dismiss it, and take my car?
44862Why not Taylor?
44862Why not make a clean breast of it? 44862 Why not?
44862Why should n''t you get it? 44862 Will they put him in jail?"
44862Will we be killed?
44862Will you forgive me for coming a day too late? 44862 With Ralph?"
44862Wo ghen Sie?
44862Wo n''t you please talk to me?
44862Wondering whether they''d give their consent-- and if they did, would they worry themselves to death?
44862Would it be possible for me to talk to his nurse?
44862Would n''t you mind a bit, Linda, if Louise married Ralph?
44862Would you be kind enough to take us to the man in charge of this field?
44862Would you like to go to your room, my dear-- or do you want to see your father first?
44862Would you really trust yourself to me? 44862 Yes, Daddy?"
44862Yes, but Daddy, do n''t you think it''s only fair to give me a reason?
44862Yes, but who sent them?
44862Yes, why?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862Yes?
44862You are rested, are n''t you? 44862 You did n''t mind my not waking up for supper last night, did you?"
44862You did n''t think your old Dad would forget you, did you, Honey?
44862You do like all this, do n''t you, Linda?
44862You do n''t call that news, do you? 44862 You do n''t have to go that soon, do you?
44862You do n''t mind, do you, Emily?
44862You have been here before, Linda?
44862You knew, then, that he had stolen Miss Clavering''s pearls?
44862You know him? 44862 You like it?"
44862You mean make it your life work?
44862You mean you went around the school shouting the news that you were carrying pearls to Green Falls in an airplane?
44862You mean_ if_, not_ when_, do n''t you?
44862You never heard of a valuable pearl necklace that this young man was carrying from Spring City to his sister, by my daughter''s plane?
44862You really believe Ted-- Mr. Mackay-- had a part in the horrible thing?
44862You really like parties? 44862 You saw him?"
44862You still worrying about those pearls?
44862You want to do most of your learning on your own plane, do n''t you, daughter?
44862You wo n''t be in any danger will you, Daddy?
44862You would n''t want to camp out, anyway, would you? 44862 You''d like that, would n''t you, dear?"
44862You''ll enter, wo n''t you?
44862You''re both safe? 44862 You''re from his company?"
44862You''re game, are n''t you?
44862You''re going to a ground school in the fall-- as we used to talk about-- aren''t you?
44862You''re not a bit afraid?
44862You''re sure they wo n''t mind?
44862You''ve been in an airplane accident?
44862You? 44862 Your hair is curlier, is n''t it, Dan?
44862Your plane was wrecked, was n''t it?
44862Your shoulder is all right, Ted?
44862_ May_ get insurance?
44862''Buy a biplane''--sounds like''Bye, Bye, Baby,''does n''t it?"
44862About twenty- seven?
44862After all, those two dead men deserved their fate, did n''t they?
44862Air- derbys, endurance flights-- height records?"
44862And how soon shall I tell Louise that you''ll be ready?"
44862And since my plane saved Daddy''s life, you''re converted to them now, are n''t you?"
44862And tomorrow morning at dawn we''ll go on a search.... Now, mother, can you give Mr. Mackay something to eat-- and a room?"
44862And you do understand, do n''t you?"
44862And,"she added as she stepped from the car,"do n''t you want to leave your car here, and let Thomas put it away?"
44862Are you going far?"
44862Are you teasing me?"
44862At this late date?"
44862Because you can get a license when you''re sixteen, ca n''t you?"
44862But Lou, if his coat is here, why is n''t he?"
44862But do n''t you suppose I have to go in a class with others, Daddy?"
44862But how did he know that she had a plane, and if he had happened to see it, why did n''t he come to the house, and ask her permission to examine it?
44862But tell me, have you decided you would like to go up in the Pursuit?"
44862But what I mean is, you have n''t gone in for any competitions yet, have you?
44862But what could Ted do?
44862But why?
44862But would n''t you like to stay and see your friends, and thank them?"
44862But you''re rested now?"
44862But, Daddy, where is it?
44862But, by the way, did the other fellow have red hair?"
44862Ca n''t we all three go together?"
44862Ca n''t you take my judgment as worth something, Linda?"
44862Can we drive over for him tonight?"
44862Can you arrange it?"
44862Cates?"
44862Cates?"
44862Connected with oil, was n''t he?
44862Could it be that he had found the necklace?
44862Could that have been your father?"
44862Did Aunt Emily mean he had come?
44862Did Thomas bring it up all right?"
44862Did it mean that, just as he was hoping to make his mark in the world, and rendering valuable assistance to his family, all must stop?
44862Did n''t you know?...
44862Did they make you do that at school?"
44862Do I have to tell you in so many words that young Ralph Clavering is interested in Linda?"
44862Do you know him, Daddy?"
44862Do you mean you''ve been up alone?
44862Do you suppose that man was killed?"
44862Do you think there would be any use in our going?"
44862Do you understand, daughter?"
44862Funny he did n''t notice anything so serious as this.... Louise, do you suppose that Roger could have done anything to it?"
44862Ghosts-- or tramps?"
44862Had n''t she made inside loops and Immelman turns often at school, and did n''t she know exactly what to do?
44862Had they any information so far?
44862Haydock?"
44862He would get well, of course, but was this going to cripple him so he would n''t be able to fly?
44862Honestly?
44862How are you?"
44862How could Ralph be so prejudiced, so cruel?
44862I wonder who''s piloting?"
44862I''ll get dressed right away.... And Auntie, may I have some strawberries up here, to eat after I take my shower?
44862I-- I''d just as soon not see it, would n''t you, Linda?"
44862If Ted really were in league with the thief, would they put him in prison too?
44862Is that all right?
44862Let''s see-- what year was that when he flew the Atlantic?
44862Likable chap, when you first meet him, is n''t he?
44862Like the old question people always ask married men:''If your mother and your wife were drowning, which one would you save?''
44862Looks honest and kind, and all that?"
44862Mackay?"
44862May I?"
44862Mr. Mackay is such a nice boy that it is a shame he has to have enemies.... Now, what can I do for you?"
44862Must she really give up his friendship?
44862Now, who''ll drive us over to our''Pursuit''?"
44862Now-- are you sure you are all right-- and that you can stay awake?"
44862Now-- when do I start?"
44862Oh, Linda, why did n''t we wake up at six?"
44862Oh, how could he keep the news from his mother?
44862Oh, what has happened?"
44862Or is it just the heat and the rush?"
44862Or was it because she was a girl that his manner seemed so superior, so condescending?
44862Or would you rather have a regular breakfast in bed?"
44862Ralph Clavering?"
44862Remember?
44862She is n''t engaged to Ralph, is she?"
44862So shall I put yours away for you?"
44862Something about the theft, I believe.... Well, dear, I''ll send up some raspberries-- or would you rather have cantaloupe?"
44862Strange lands-- or his ranch out west-- or perhaps her mother?
44862Such a handsome boy, so charming-- why did he have to be so unfair to Ted?
44862Suppose it should pancake?
44862That could n''t have been Mackay we met on that field-- Mackay disguised, or anything?"
44862Then there were two planes?"
44862Then why was he sneaking around so funny last night?
44862Then, turning anxiously to Roger,"Have you any news of my father?"
44862Then, turning to Linda,"What''s the German word for help?"
44862Then, turning to her aunt,"But is my car here, Aunt Emily?
44862Unhurt?"
44862Very wealthy?"
44862Was Ted really involved in the affair?
44862Was it possible that this great honor should come to her, when she had merely performed her duty, and been thankful to be able to do it?
44862Was this the surprise she had so mysteriously mentioned, and if so, what was Louise''s part in it?
44862We could n''t buy another daughter, could we, Emily?"
44862Were he and this thief in partnership, playing a wicked game, and had Ted hired the man because he would not let them know his part in the robbery?
44862What could he possibly have against Ted?
44862What could it all mean?
44862What did she know about the wickedness of criminals?
44862What good would her lovely plane be to her, if she were never allowed to pilot it herself?
44862What of?
44862What right had she, she asked herself, to pry into Ted''s affairs?
44862What sort of costume will you wear?"
44862What were a few pearls, anyway, in comparison to her precious girl?
44862What were they up to now?
44862What would this sort of thing do to that?
44862What''s he been doing?"
44862When does she wish to start?"
44862Where is he?"
44862Who is he?
44862Why are we going out back of the house?"
44862Why did n''t he come over and speak to you?"
44862Why was there always some drawback to rich people, she wondered?
44862Why, Emily, you do n''t think I''d be willing to take any chances with my only child, do you-- if I did n''t consider it safe?"
44862Why?
44862Why?...
44862Without even Ralph?"
44862Wo n''t that be fun?"
44862Would Linda be able to guide the plane there, or must they be dashed against the tree- tops, to meet a sickening death?
44862Would n''t that suit you?"
44862You do n''t expect to be one of those independent girls who insist upon earning their own living, do you, dear?"
44862You do n''t know which nurse it was?"
44862You have n''t forgotten your promise?"
44862You have n''t seen it, have you?"
44862You remember Jen?"
44862You seem to know my name----""There were some letters in your pocket-- don''t you remember?
44862You will forgive me?"
44862You will go, wo n''t you, dear?"
44862You would n''t be afraid?"
44862You''re Robin Hood, are n''t you?"
44862You''re going with me, are n''t you?"
44862You-- you heard about the necklace?"
41524''Taken out?''
415241 know it; is n''t it splendid? 41524 A shame?
41524Ai nt you a smart un?
41524Ai nt you goin'', miss?
41524And how are you now?
41524And how did you know it?
41524And so I am, almost,replied Dr. Drayton, smiling;"but tell me, does Rachel want to see me?"
41524And that is?
41524And this is on your honor?
41524And who do you think was with the man that brought it?
41524And why not, I should like to know? 41524 And why, I should like to know?
41524And why, may I ask?
41524And you really think I did it from kindness?
41524And you wo n''t snub me any more?
41524Are they here?
41524Are you quite sure you want to come?
41524Are you satisfied, Marion?
41524Are you sure you heard right, Sallie?
41524Arty, my boy, has it come to that?
41524Aunt Bettie, what do you mean?
41524Aunt Bettie,cried Marion,"are you there?"
41524But do n''t you think it is awfully mean not to have let us known anything about it beforehand, so that we might have had time to practise?
41524But do n''t you think you will be able to get up to Aunt Bettie''s before Saturday?
41524But it does n''t happen to be yourgout,"does it, Georgie?"
41524But suppose you should get caught?
41524But what about the broken bridge?
41524But what in the world should I have done if you had n''t rushed in, and told me she was coming?
41524But where is Julia?
41524But, Marion, are you sure? 41524 But, Marion,"said Rachel,"do n''t you suppose if they wanted to know us very much, they''d find a way to get introduced?"
41524But, Mr. Stein,exclaimed one,"just_ please_ tell me, can I play this well enough?"
41524But, girls, what do you mean?
41524By the town road,said the doctor;"and who came with you?"
41524Ca n''t you send Bridget?
41524Can I help you out of it?
41524Can you wonder at my astonishment, sir?
41524Come Rachel, are you ready? 41524 Come in, Marion; what do you mean by keeping Mr. Thornton standing out there in the cold?"
41524Did I say I did not?
41524Did n''t I jest say I s''posed you was one o''them gals up t''the schule?
41524Did n''t you see for yourself?
41524Did she have much attention?
41524Did you expect us, auntie?
41524Did you hear?
41524Did you say as how you b''longed up t''the schule?
41524Did you think that the title applied to yourself?
41524Do n''t I though?
41524Do n''t I, though? 41524 Do n''t you think her prettier than when you first saw her?"
41524Do n''t you wish he could have lived?
41524Do you know,said Sarah, in the most serious way,"I do n''t think''Mab''seems to suit you so well as it used to?
41524Do you like it?
41524Do you suppose Miss Stiffy''s going to let you march off by yourself two days in succession?
41524Do you think I run and tell everything I know?
41524Do you think Rachel will ever learn to love me?
41524Do you think so? 41524 Doctor,"said Mr. Berkley,"why do n''t you shave off that beard?
41524Does Mr. Stein have an earthly thing to do with this school except to give us music- lessons? 41524 Does n''t she?
41524For the goodness''sakes, who''s that?
41524Going to live here?
41524Going where?
41524Grace Minton, Julia Thayer, and who shall be the third? 41524 Guess who''s engaged?"
41524Has she complained of pain in her back and limbs?
41524Have not I explained it sufficiently?
41524Have you gone crazy, or was the wine too much for you?
41524How can I doubt it, Georgie, when it was bestowed upon me by such an amiable young lady as yourself? 41524 How can they, when Fred and Arthur Thornton mount guard over us every time we go out?
41524How did you know it?
41524How do you know it was meant for an honorable distinction?
41524How is Rachel?
41524How is she?
41524How many are going?
41524How old is Miss Marion?
41524How old is she?
41524How soon will Fred be home? 41524 I believe you,"he said;"but forgive me if I ask why, feeling so, the tears should have come into your eyes when you read the letter?"
41524I can go in a few minutes; would you mind asking Florence to come here?
41524I dare say I do n''t remember it very correctly; has she grown much?
41524I do n''t think it is quite long enough, do you?
41524I do n''t think that''s fair, do you, Marion?
41524I do n''t understand you at all; what is this all about?
41524I guess it wo n''t hurt it for just this once, and this is certainly a great occasion,answered Florence;"what are you going to wear on it,--cherry?"
41524I know you_ did n''t_ say put your stitch over,retorted Rose;"you just said put over, and how was I going to know by that?
41524I say, Mab,shouted the first speaker from the bottom of the stairs,"if you''re coming, why do n''t you come?
41524I shall have to take a tumbler myself, but never mind; now are you all ready? 41524 I wish I could tell you of something; do n''t you know of anything for a sore throat, Marion?"
41524I''m so glad,cried Rachel,"but was n''t it a shame that Arthur Thornton should have sent his bouquet to Marion first?"
41524I''m sure I do n''t know; are n''t they lovely?
41524If she can hide her wounds so bravely, can not I do the same?
41524Is n''t it heavy though? 41524 Is she going to be married during school?"
41524Is she pretty?
41524Is she well provided for?
41524It seems to me,she began,"you and Florence are not quite so fond of each other as you used to be; or is it that she is not so fond of you?"
41524It''s a new one, is n''t it?
41524Mab, could n''t you design it yourself?
41524Marion Berkley, do you mean to say that you expect me and Miss Christine to sit down to a supper which you young ladies have secretly prepared?
41524Marion, do you know it is almost midnight? 41524 Marion, how could you?
41524Marion,he almost whispered, as he bent over her,"are you sure you never loved Arthur Thornton?"
41524Marion,said Mrs. Berkley one day,"do n''t you intend to invite Florence and Miss Drayton in here to spend the night?"
41524May I be allowed to come in at this early hour?
41524Might I ask where this champagne came from?
41524Miss Berkley, can you fill a pipe?
41524Mrs. Marston, can you enlighten me?
41524My dear child, are you crazy? 41524 My dear child,"said the doctor, looking down at Marion,"how can I tell until I''ve seen her?
41524No, I do n''t believe it will; besides who cares for that? 41524 No,"answered Marion, rising, and going quickly to the bedside;"it''s Marion; can I do anything for you?"
41524No? 41524 No?
41524No?
41524Not a word? 41524 Not even excepting Miss Florence?"
41524Now is n''t this jolly, Florence? 41524 Now where do you suppose they came from, Marion?
41524Now, Flo, was there ever such a darling mamma as mine? 41524 Now, Julie,"began Marion,"which will you have, sponge or currant?"
41524Now, Miss Marion, did you_ ever_ see sech a boy as that?
41524Now, my dear young lady, will you please open your mouth?
41524O Mab, how did you dare? 41524 O Miss Christine, is n''t it splendid?"
41524O Miss Christine,she cried, in an excited whisper,"is the house on fire?"
41524O Miss Stiefbach, what did you come so soon for? 41524 O doctor,"whispered Marion, who had silently watched every movement,"is it scarlet fever?"
41524O mamma,called out Marion,"wo n''t you please stop on your way back, and get me a cherry ribbon?
41524Of course not,said Marion;"we never thought you would; but please before you go let us drink your health in a glass of champagne?"
41524Of course we will,said Mattie;"you designed your carpet- bag, did n''t you?
41524Of course,replied Marion;"but why do n''t you go down into the laundry, and get Biddy to give you a pair?
41524Oh, is n''t she sly?
41524Oh, is that for me? 41524 Oh, so do I,"replied Marion;"he''s nice enough, but are n''t we going to have_ him_ all summer?
41524Oh, what is it?
41524Please, ma''am,said Flo, in a voice of mock humility,"may I give her some of my French candies?"
41524Rachel Drayton; that''s the one with the great black eyes, is n''t it?
41524Rachel, wo n''t you kiss your Aunt Marion?
41524Rachel,said Dr. Drayton, as he threw away his cigar,"how should you like to go to Europe next spring?"
41524Rachel,said Marion, thoroughly frightened,"do n''t you know me?"
41524S''pose you''re one o''them gals up t''the schule?
41524Sallie, do you know where Miss Christine is?
41524Sarah, how can you get so excited? 41524 She flashes her eyes, does she?"
41524She had it taken just before she went back to school,said Mrs. Berkley,"and I colored it for her; is n''t the frame lovely?
41524So it''s Mr. Thornton who has got ahead of me?
41524So you mean to play, do you?
41524Spectin''one o''the gals?
41524Suppose we should go through the box and not leave any for Jabe; what should you say to that?
41524Tell us all about it, Marion,asked Mattie;"how did you know it?"
41524The free- stone house we noticed for sale the other day?
41524Then Rachel has never taken my place entirely away?
41524Then you do n''t think it''s scarlet fever?
41524Then you do n''t think she''s going to be very sick?
41524Then you intend to practise?
41524Trimmed it yourself!--really? 41524 Two letters and a pamphlet for Miss Stiefbach; one for Miss Christine; and whose is this great, fat one, I wonder, with a foreign stamp?
41524Uncle George brought it to me from Ireland; was n''t it good of him? 41524 Well, Marion, I do n''t know what you will do next,"said Miss Christine;"but where have you really been?"
41524Well, Marion, have n''t you got a letter for me?
41524Well, are n''t you rational, I should like to know?
41524Well, as you are so very kind as to offer, I''ll let you; but when will you do it?
41524Well, ca n''t you give me any idea?
41524Well, do n''t you_ intend_ to say anything?
41524Well, how did you know it, dear; did any one tell you?
41524Well, never mind that,impatiently replied Rachel;"how did Marion look?"
41524Well, suppose she is an heiress, what of that? 41524 What are you two quarrelling about this lovely Sunday morning?"
41524What did he mean?
41524What did you do?
41524What do you mean by broken bridges, doctor?
41524What do you mean by putting''two and two together''?
41524What do you mean?
41524What do you mean?--hit what?
41524What do you think?
41524What in the world did you name him Shadrack for?
41524What in the world do you mean, Georgie Graham? 41524 What in the world is the child talking about?"
41524What in the world makes you call Marion''her highness''?
41524What is the matter with him?
41524What new scholar?
41524What shall I put him into arter I get him tackled?
41524What was that you said, Marion, about''her highness''?
41524What!--not diamonds?
41524What''s the matter with you, child?
41524What, in the name of sense, do you want of a mask?
41524What_ is_ the matter, child? 41524 What_ would_ Miss Stiefbach say,"exclaimed Florence,"if she knew you were going to have a regular Thanksgiving supper?"
41524Where are you going to do it? 41524 Where have you been?"
41524Where in the world is that ribbon? 41524 Who are you going to send to the station?"
41524Who ever heard of Miss Stiefbach''s taking a scholar after the term had begun?
41524Who is it for?
41524Who is it, Biddy? 41524 Who''s we?"
41524Whom are you going to invite?
41524Why are you not at work in the library? 41524 Why did I speak so?"
41524Why did n''t she come?
41524Why is he any more to blame than Fred?
41524Why should I feel such an unaccountable prejudice against a person I never even heard of before? 41524 Why, I could n''t hang round the hall listening to what they said, could I?
41524Why, I look just like him, do n''t I? 41524 Why, M. Béranger, of course,"said Florence;"who else could it be?"
41524Why, Mab, what made you so late? 41524 Why, Marion Berkley, where_ have_ you been?"
41524Why, Marion, have n''t you crimped my hair a_ little_ too much?
41524Why, Sallie, what do you mean?
41524Why, did n''t you know?
41524Why, do n''t you know?
41524Why, put him into the sleigh, to be sure; what''d you s''pose?
41524Why, what is the matter with her, auntie? 41524 Why, you poor child,"laughingly replied her teacher,"what are you doing?
41524Why, you''re not going alone?
41524Why?
41524Will it pop?
41524Will she be any less likely to kick Florence than you?
41524Will she be kind to us little girls?
41524Would n''t it be a joke,said Grace Minton,"if Miss Stiefbach should walk in on us just as you got the cork out?"
41524Yes, I know it was; and that is why I''m particularly anxious to have a good one this time; do n''t you see?
41524Yes, I think he did,replied Marion, smiling in spite of herself; then in a soberer tone she asked,"Do you remember your father, Jabe?"
41524Yes, and how would she have known it, if it had n''t been for you? 41524 Yes, so I think; but do n''t you think it would be nice if we six girls, who have been here four years together, should all work her something?
41524Yes,replied Marion,"I''ve known it all this time, and actually have n''t toadied her yet; are n''t you surprised?"
41524You ben''t?--_not_ one o''the gals; you''re marm, p''raps?
41524You know she ca n''t be going to have a party; but what can it mean?
41524You really mean it, Marion? 41524 _ Do_ you like it?
41524''My dear fellow,''said he,''do n''t you know I have n''t got any money?''
41524--''What name?''
41524An''have n''t I sane the likes o''him too many times not to know him?
41524And who shall say that it was not enough?
41524Berkley too hasteelie?"
41524But do you know it is after four o''clock, and the girls have all got through practising?
41524But how can I get such a person?
41524But how could she expect God would forgive her, when day after day she knowingly committed the same faults?
41524But how did you mistake me for her?
41524But where now were her good resolutions?
41524Ca n''t we do anything for her?
41524Ca n''t_ I_ do anything?"
41524Can it be that you thought I was Rachel Drayton?"
41524Can you tell the writing from here?"
41524Could she be acting?
41524Did n''t she get''taken out''a great deal?"
41524Did you get down the big sleigh t''other day when I told yer to?"
41524Do n''t you think you can convince her of the contrary?"
41524Do tell me what it is that evidently amuses you so much?"
41524Do you ever go to school?"
41524Do you hear?
41524Do you know how you are talking?
41524Do you s''pose I''m goin''to send you home afoot when it''s sich walkin''s this?
41524Do you understand?"
41524Dr. Drayton smiled, as he said,"And you are Miss Marion Berkley, I presume?"
41524Flo is here; is n''t that jolly?
41524God had intended?--no, not that; for what could God intend and not perform?
41524His hands may be scratched and bleeding from contact with the briers; but what of that?
41524How did you dare?"
41524How did you know it?"
41524How do you feel now, dear?"
41524How do you like it, Rachel?
41524How do you like my turn- out?
41524How do you like our school- room?"
41524How much do you put in a tumbler of water, Marion?"
41524I do n''t believe but what you thought we were almost savages; now honestly, did n''t you feel afraid to meet us?"
41524I do n''t think I ever heard of a real bona fide Rachel before; handsome, is n''t she?"
41524I do n''t think there are many women that would do that; do you, Flo?"
41524I do n''t think there is much danger of my going to sleep; but for fear I should, you come up before tea,--won''t you?"
41524I just wish you''d seen her when I tried to make a pretty speech to her; did n''t she toss her head up, and flash those eyes at me?
41524I moved aside that she might more easily speak to Mrs. Benson, and she asked in a weak, tired voice,''Any letters for me, ma''am?''
41524I remember her; very nervous sort of girl, is n''t she?"
41524I thought you seemed worried about something, and came back to see if I could n''t help you; ca n''t I?"
41524I wonder if it occurred to her that the only lesson for the day was French?
41524I''ll hand him over to mamma; but wherever I go, you''ll have to take me, do you understand?"
41524If you had n''t had quick eyes to see into my troubles, and a warm heart to put you up to helpin''me, what would she a''known about it?
41524In a moment she heard a window opened above, and looking up beheld a night- capped head, and the doctor''s voice asked,"What''s the row down there?
41524Is it just the thing?"
41524Is n''t it lovely?
41524It is not jealousy; for how can I be jealous of a person I never saw or heard of before in my life?
41524It will be awful sloppy though, wo n''t it?"
41524It would be useless to say the girls did not enjoy the latter quite as much as the former, for what girl of eighteen ever could resist brass buttons?
41524Jabe Dobbs, be you there?"
41524Just look at it, girls; is n''t it lovely?"
41524Marion, have another chop?"
41524Marion, is n''t that splendid?"
41524Marston?"
41524Miss Christine,"she said, turning round quickly as her teacher entered the room,"who sent you these lovely flowers yesterday?"
41524Mrs. Berkley, will you honor me?"
41524My idea is to make an ottoman: one work the middle, four the corners, and the other fill it up; what do you say?"
41524Neat but not gaudy, is n''t it?"
41524Now what shall we do for plates?"
41524Now, Marion, do tell me; have you decided what you are going to say to- morrow?"
41524Now, Mrs. Berkley, what shall I do?
41524Now, who do you think was the mean one, I should like to know?"
41524O Marion,"she said, as she was about to leave the room,"will you please sleep with Rose?
41524Once she sat up in bed, and, laying her hand on Marion''s arm, said in the most grieved, beseeching tone,"What makes you hate me so?
41524Sarah, you''re such a good forager you wo n''t mind running down the back way, and getting three or four plates, now will you?"
41524See, Marion, is n''t it lovely?"
41524She is pretty sick, but not dangerously so; but how are you, Miss Marion?
41524Sometimes I think I''ll go down there; but where''s the use?
41524Suddenly an idea seemed to flash into her head:"Did you go for the doctor?"
41524Thornton?"
41524Thornton?"
41524Those bottles give quite a regal air to the table, do n''t they?
41524Walking over broken bridges at twelve o''clock at night is n''t a very good thing for red cheeks, is it?"
41524Was n''t Miss Stiefbach invited?"
41524Was n''t little Bob Jones the_ loveliest_ dancer she ever saw?
41524Was there ever any one in such a flutter?"
41524We could n''t eat it half to- night, if we try; so what''s the use of such a spread?
41524What are you laughing at?"
41524What do you think, Marion?"
41524What is the matter?
41524What possessed you to put on those tidies to- day?"
41524What sort of a school did you use to go to?"
41524What you been a- doin''that''s kept yer so long?"
41524Where did you get it?"
41524Where did you get it?"
41524Where does her mother live?"
41524Where is it?"
41524Where is she?"
41524Who could have sent them?"
41524Who held their tongue about Aunt Bettie''s doughnuts, I should like to know?"
41524Who in the world can he be?
41524Who told you to do that?"
41524Whom shall I ask, Flo?"
41524Why wo n''t you let it all come out?"
41524Why, what did I ask you to give up the history for if it was n''t that I might have time for my supper?
41524Why, what in the world do you mean?"
41524Will you be kind enough to bring your brushes into my room?
41524Wo n''t I catch it?"
41524Wo n''t they look well dancing the''deux- temps''together?"
41524Wo n''t we have fun?"
41524Wo n''t you please put something on, and go in and sit with her?
41524You do n''t think it was_ very_ dreadful in him, do you?"
41524You really mean that you will love me?"
41524and did n''t Walter Hargate sing the''rainy day''so as to make one weep_ oceans_ of tears?
41524and then from a second,"O Mr. Stein,_ would_ you play this?"
41524and was n''t Jack Richards''profile''enough to make one_ wild_''?
41524are you here?
41524as she caught sight of Sarah,"is she here yet?"
41524asked Marion;"what do you like best,--spelling?"
41524asked Sarah;"do you think she is going to be ill?"
41524cried Florence;"do n''t you see I''ve got on the ruffled tidies?"
41524cried Sarah Brown;"now that we know there is something going on, do n''t you intend to tell us what it is?"
41524did n''t he send his name?"
41524did you really think I was going to be angry with you after making such a thrilling stump- speech in my favor?"
41524do n''t you mean to tell us, beforehand?"
41524do n''t you see?
41524does it hurt terribly?
41524exclaimed Florence;"what has kept you so long?
41524exclaimed Marion, striving to conceal her laughter,"are n''t you ashamed of yourself?
41524exclaimed Marion;"when and where?"
41524exclaimed Sarah Brown,"do n''t you see I''m dying to know if there''s a letter for me?
41524have I got you at last?"
41524how does that look?"
41524how does that look?"
41524how much would you charge to stand on Boston common nights, and light the city?
41524how''s that?"
41524it is all out now; do you think I am a perfect wretch?"
41524it''s champagne, as sure as I''m a sinner; who would have believed it?
41524not a syllable?
41524of course people would be polite; but was n''t there anybody particularly attentive?
41524said Florence,"do you know just what you are going to say?"
41524she exclaimed,"I began to think you were never coming; do n''t you know I''m dying to hear about the party?"
41524shouted every girl, jumping to her feet in astonishment,--"to whom?"
41524wailed half- a- dozen girls;"are n''t you going to play any more?"
41524what do you think she is going to make me do?
41524what do you think''s up?"
41524what is the meaning of this noise?"
41524what''s the matter with you?"
41524where are you?
41524who would ever suppose she had as much hair as that?
41524you here?"
41524your astonishment at seeing me is greater than your joy?
30881''Tisn''t very different, hey? 30881 A kid party?"
30881A party?
30881All right; how shall we dress?
30881And to- morrow we''ll put up a swing, and the hammocks, wo n''t you, Daddy?
30881Are n''t they funny rooms?
30881Are n''t you afraid you''ll get off the line? 30881 Are n''t you coming to school?"
30881Are they nice?
30881Are we hungry? 30881 Are you going to send it over now?"
30881Are you sure?
30881Are you sure?
30881As intimate as I am?
30881But ca n''t I go over there to- day?
30881But how do you know who anybody is?
30881But how_ could_ I know you?
30881But it is n''t there, and who would disturb it?
30881But why ca n''t you be loving, kind little sisters? 30881 But why did n''t you tell us?
30881But why did you make yourself tall, Bert? 30881 But would it be fair to have her help us?"
30881But, Daddy,said Genie,"how do we know where to dig?"
30881Ca n''t we go?
30881Ca n''t you speak a little more politely, Genie?
30881Can I go?
30881Can I sit up to eat?
30881Can anybody send?
30881Can you sing?
30881Clay pipes?
30881Danger? 30881 Did Dotty break anything?"
30881Did n''t leave off hair- ribbons, did you?
30881Did n''t you come up here last night with the Roses?
30881Did n''t you take it into the dining- room?
30881Did she tell you to come?
30881Did you fix it up, Genie?
30881Do I? 30881 Do n''t know yet who was your partner, do you, Dolly?"
30881Do n''t you love it?
30881Do n''t you mind?
30881Do n''t you really?
30881Do you know that new girl next door to you?
30881Do you like camping?
30881Do you like me as much as that?
30881Do you live near here?
30881Do you suppose your head with all that hair is n''t bigger than the boys''heads without any hair to speak of? 30881 Does it, you dear blessed baby?
30881Does she really look like that?
30881Dotty Rose is pretty, is n''t she?
30881Found it, did you?
30881Go out and get it, is it? 30881 Going to get things alike or different?"
30881Got there? 30881 Has any one a gold watch?"
30881Have n''t you ever been up here before?
30881Have you asked her?
30881Have you seen the girl in the window?
30881Have you? 30881 Hello, Dolly- Polly,"he said, cheerily;"had your breakfast?
30881Hey?
30881How are you, Dolly?
30881How can you tell?
30881How did it get there?
30881How did she look?
30881How do you know he''s Tad?
30881How do you know it?
30881How do you know she did it? 30881 How do you know she plays with dolls?"
30881How do you know?
30881How do you like Berwick?
30881How do you like the girls?
30881How do you s''pose he did it?
30881How old are you?
30881How''d you like mine to you?
30881How''d you like my present to you?
30881How''s Dotty?
30881I do n''t care much, do you?
30881I just love to eat in a restaurant, do n''t you?
30881I know I did, and I thought it was; but do n''t you see, Dolly, if it_ had_ been the right way, we would be home by now?
30881I never saw such twinsy twins before,she said;"do you know yourselves apart?"
30881I say, Dot Rose,Tod Brown exclaimed,"you_ are_ stuck on that big pond, are n''t you?
30881I see Indian Pipes,remarked Mr. Rose, and Dotty cried,"Where?
30881I''ll speak to her,said easy- going Mrs. Rose;"how do you like Dolly''s picture?"
30881Is he here?
30881Is it for charity?
30881Is she yelling like fury?
30881Is that so?
30881Is this the camp?
30881Is your arm all well, Dot?
30881It is too bad,agreed Dotty,"but I do n''t believe a chocolate cake will take the prize, do you?"
30881It''s buried pretty deep, is n''t it?
30881Jolly to see you again,said Tad;"do come out on the beach with us as soon as you finish your breakfast, wo n''t you?"
30881Know me?
30881Look like you?
30881Lovely, is n''t it? 30881 May I borrow it?"
30881Mother will make us any old togs we want,said Tad,"It is n''t a masquerade, is it?"
30881No; do you?
30881Not much like the Adirondacks, is it?
30881Now, what do you think of that?
30881Now, who''s for a tramp in the woods?
30881Of course they will; why would n''t they?
30881Oh, Daddy, a party?
30881Oh, Dotty, what are we going to do?
30881Oh, Father, what?
30881Oh, do n''t you just hate to leave it?
30881Oh, it''s so good to see you again,said Dotty, as the others all left the room;"do you hurt terribly?"
30881Oh, were_ you_?
30881Pauline did it?
30881Pshaw, now, is that so? 30881 Really?"
30881Right away quick,and Mr. Rose smiled down at her;"have you good stout shoes?"
30881Shall we dress up, Mother?
30881Shall we have a fire to- night, Daddy?
30881She broke her leg did n''t she, in your all- comers''scrap?
30881Something to wear?
30881Stole it? 30881 Sure we did,"said Bob;"were n''t you glad?"
30881That all?
30881Then how can we see where we''re going?
30881Then where is it?
30881There''s no danger, is there?
30881Was n''t it thrilling? 30881 We did n''t see any note,"said Dolly;"where did you leave it?"
30881We''ll always be friends, whatever happens, wo n''t we?
30881We''ll see you next summer,--you will come up here again next summer, wo n''t you, Dolly?
30881We''ve got to save that child, no matter how we do it!-- Sit still, baby, wo n''t you?
30881Well, all the same,said Bert,"what are we going to do for lunch?
30881Well, will you? 30881 Well,"he said,"_ is_ it the one you made?
30881Well,she said,"how do you like me?"
30881Were we really up there looking down?
30881What about coffee cups?
30881What are you talking about? 30881 What can we find?"
30881What d''you cut up such a trick as this for? 30881 What do you want?"
30881What else have you got?
30881What for?
30881What for?
30881What for?
30881What is it all about? 30881 What is the matter with you, Doll?"
30881What is the prize?
30881What makes you think so?
30881What other boys?
30881What shall we do? 30881 What yo''want, honey?
30881What''s Dolly yelling about? 30881 What''s a ping- wing?"
30881What''s in it?
30881What''s the matter?
30881What''s there, when you get to the end?
30881What''s this place like, anyway?
30881What, no eggs in all this well- dressed crowd? 30881 What?"
30881What_ is_ a phantom party?
30881When can I go to see her, Mother?
30881When did you come up here?
30881Where are the boys?
30881Where can it be?
30881Where did they come from?
30881Where is he?
30881Where is it that we''re going to sleep?
30881Where''s Blot?
30881Where''s Dolly?
30881Where''s the cake, Maria?
30881Where''s the fire?
30881Where''s your cake?
30881Where''s yours?
30881Who are the nicest ones?
30881Who do you s''pose did it?
30881Who do you s''pose''ll hear that?
30881Who looks after you; your father?
30881Who''s Bert?
30881Who?
30881Who?
30881Who?
30881Why do n''t we?
30881Why do n''t you get a lot of little things, instead of one big thing?
30881Why do you call it Crosstrees camp?
30881Why does it take so long to get well?
30881Why not go straight on?
30881Why, how can you be?
30881Why?
30881Why?
30881Why?
30881Will she let you be an actress?
30881Will you come home early, Father?
30881Ye little wretches,cried one big rawboned man,"what d''ye mean by foolin''us like that?"
30881Yes, let''s,said Tad;"come on now; I''ve finished my ice cream, have n''t you, Dolly?"
30881You boys took it over?
30881You broke yourself, too, did n''t you?
30881You do know the way, do n''t you, Dotty?
30881You had a gay old mixup, did n''t you?
30881You''ll forgive me, sister, wo n''t you?
30881_ Would_ you care to come to lunch with us?
30881167 XIII THAT LUNCHEON 186 XIV THE CAKE CONTEST 201 XV WHO WON THE PRIZE?
30881A dozen times during the afternoon they were asked,"Has your cake been sent out yet?"
30881And Bert Fayre waved his hands in enthusiasm;"Hello, girls, did your dinky white cake catch the gold piece?
30881And I put it to you Mr. Rose, would n''t it be better to rest a bit, and then push on?"
30881And anyway, how could any girl do that even if she was mean enough?"
30881And indeed why should it be?
30881And what if they did?
30881And you_ will_ sit still, wo n''t you, baby?"
30881Any go to her?"
30881Are n''t they alike?"
30881Are n''t you going to punish her, Mother?"
30881Are n''t you the sly ones who raided our commissariat department?
30881Are there any wild animals, that would eat us up?"
30881Are you going to the Grammar School?"
30881Are you hungry, boys?"
30881Are you mad at anybody, Dolly?"
30881Are you rich?"
30881Are you?"
30881At least she meant us to think that, for she said,''Now do n''t you see they''re all right?''
30881At the station?
30881Because she hurts so?"
30881But Bob, what''s a camp like?
30881But Mumsie, may n''t I stop wearing hair- ribbons?
30881But do n''t you_ want_ to?
30881But how_ do_ they do it?
30881But was she a nice girl?
30881But what does it mean?
30881But what''s the use of spoiling a clean dress the minute you put it on?"
30881But you_ do_ like me, do n''t you, Dollyrinda?"
30881CHAPTER XII WHO WAS THE TALL PHANTOM?
30881CHAPTER XV WHO WON THE PRIZE?
30881Ca n''t I see her?
30881Ca n''t I?"
30881Ca n''t you rig up a costume for Dot that will be presentable to wear downstairs?"
30881Can we get it, Tod?"
30881Can you act?"
30881Can you wait?"
30881Den whar is it?"
30881Did Mother send you to the store for them?"
30881Did she break both her legs?"
30881Did you and Mrs. Fayre know about the frames?"
30881Did you bamboozle the judges into thinking it was fit to eat?"
30881Did you get any plate presents?"
30881Did you hate to leave your camp, Dotty?
30881Did you know they were here, Dolly?"
30881Did you put a pink ribbon on Blot?"
30881Did you think we sat down?
30881Do I have to do anything different from when I''m fourteen?"
30881Do n''t like it, hey?"
30881Do n''t you have to keep dressed up all the time and all that?"
30881Do n''t you have to sleep on old dry twigs and things?
30881Do n''t you love it, Edith?"
30881Do n''t you s''pose I know anything?
30881Do n''t you see this kind of a trail?
30881Do n''t you think it''s getting sort of dark?"
30881Do n''t you think it''s pretty, Pauline?"
30881Do n''t you think we ought to be called by our full names and not Dolly and Dotty any more?"
30881Do n''t you, Dot?"
30881Do you know any one at all in Berwick, Molly?"
30881Do you know her?"
30881Do you mean to say you suspect anybody?"
30881Do you s''pose I''d go round lugging a wax infant?"
30881Do you s''pose I''d steal their lovely cake?"
30881Do you s''pose there''s anybody''bout my age, Mums?"
30881Do you think they''ll like me, Dolly?"
30881Do you want some more little cakes?"
30881Do you want to grow up, Doll?"
30881Do you, Dotty?"
30881Does him love hims Dotty?"
30881Does it hurt you now?
30881Dotty was beginning to learn that mild- mannered Dolly had a will of her own, and she said, placatingly:"Well, what do you want to do, then?"
30881Got enough to go round?"
30881Has each one a spade?"
30881Have n''t we, Tad?"
30881Have n''t you ever had a party?"
30881Have you ever seen him?
30881Have you plenty of sheets, Mother, to fix us up?"
30881Hello, Dot, ready?"
30881Hey, Dotsy?"
30881How about it?
30881How can anybody like these awful beds?
30881How did you do it, girlies?"
30881How did you get here?
30881How did you know she had one?"
30881How do you know which way to go, when you ca n''t see anything but trees?"
30881How do you like Bert?"
30881How do you like Bob?"
30881How ever will you keep your hair back?
30881How is your arm?
30881How soon do we see the ocean?"
30881How would you like that?"
30881How?"
30881However, it would hardly do to tell her that, so she said, slowly:"I do n''t know yet; how do you like me?"
30881Hullo, what''s this?"
30881I say, Dot, how''s that chum of yours, you wrote me about?
30881I say, fellows, what shall we do?"
30881I wonder if you will like Surfwood, Dotty?"
30881I''ll stir you up--""Here, here, what''s going on?"
30881Is n''t it fine?"
30881Is n''t she pretty?
30881Is n''t this salad good?"
30881Is this her picture?
30881Is your right arm all right?"
30881Just a little farther now and we come into that clump of beech woods, do n''t you know?
30881Know''em?"
30881No?
30881Now are you going to use it rightly to help yourself get well, or wrongly to make all the trouble possible for yourself and every one else?"
30881Now you know more about this sort of thing than I do, what do people do when they''re lost in the woods?"
30881Now, Dotty, ca n''t you make a birthday resolution to be more patient with Genie?
30881Now, may I ask what you young ladies have on hand for this afternoon?"
30881Now, what kind shall it be?"
30881Of course, Mumsie and Trude will be around, and your mother and your aunt,--won''t they?
30881Oh, Dotty, what shall we do?"
30881People get lost in the woods often, do n''t they, Dad?"
30881Please may I see Dolly?"
30881Remember?"
30881Shall we go to the fair at all, Dot?"
30881Shall we take it back to her?"
30881Shall we turn back now?"
30881Shall we?"
30881She followed Dotty in silence for some distance and then said;"you''re sure you_ do_ know the way, are n''t you?"
30881She looked squarely at Dotty Rose, and said, straightforwardly,"What made you scowl at me that first day you came?"
30881She wo n''t cry, will she?"
30881She''s not sick or going into a decline, is she?"
30881Stand up to receive them?"
30881Then he hesitated, saying,"What else did I borrow?"
30881Two eggs, somebody,--please?"
30881Was n''t yours?"
30881Well maybe beads, or how about a lace collar?"
30881Well, well, Mr. Fayre, do you raise thyme in your kitchen garden?
30881Well, what are you going to do when you''re fifteen?"
30881What are you going to cover yourself with?
30881What are you going to get for your birthday?"
30881What are you going to sleep on?
30881What becomes of the broken eggs and all?"
30881What colour do you want?"
30881What could it mean?
30881What day is your birthday?"
30881What did you do with that key?"
30881What do we do?
30881What do you mean?"
30881What do you say if we make another, Dolly?"
30881What do you say to a gold pencil for each?"
30881What do you say, shall we cook the fish, or light right out for home?"
30881What do you want to be when you''re grown up?"
30881What is it, honey chile?"
30881What is the matter?"
30881What kind of boats will they have, Bob?"
30881What next, ladies?"
30881What shall we do with our cake prize, Doll, save it or spend it?"
30881What sort is yours?"
30881What will Mrs. Norris say to us?"
30881What''s dat?"
30881What''s he like?"
30881What''s his name?"
30881What''s the matter with you, Dolly?"
30881What''s the town like?"
30881When are you going to fix my room, Mother?"
30881When does her brother come home?
30881Where are you?
30881Where did he get them?"
30881Where else_ could_ it have gone to?"
30881Where''s Dotty?
30881Where''s Genie?"
30881Where''s your hat?"
30881Where?"
30881Where_ did_ you come from?
30881Which is my room?"
30881Who are they?"
30881Who put that piece in Tod''s cap, his mother?"
30881Why did you let me come?
30881Why do n''t you go downstairs and have people come to see you?"
30881Why do n''t you make ginger- bread and be done with it?
30881Why do they call it Surfwood, Dolly; are there any woods there?"
30881Why should this stranger scowl at her, when she did n''t know her at all?
30881Why, Dot, we were all going camping this summer, you know, what about that?"
30881Why, it''s only your arm, your legs are all right, you can walk, ca n''t you?
30881Why, what''s the matter?"
30881Why?"
30881Why_ do_ you two children quarrel so?"
30881Will you choose the room fixings''stead of the watch?"
30881Will you kiss and make up?"
30881Wo n''t you let it go, Dot, and never say anything to her on the subject?"
30881Would you?"
30881You ca n''t do it, because you''re not under sixteen-- are you?"
30881You did n''t take it, did you, Daddy?"
30881You do n''t want I should let her go on the train, do you?"
30881You know a lot, do n''t you?"
30881You thought nobody would notice it, did you?
30881You treat us like the dirt under your feet, do you?
30881You would n''t think birch bark would be so heavy; would you?"
30881You''ll be outdoors by the first of August, wo n''t you?"
30881_ Do_ you like me as much as I like you?"
30881asked Dotty;"did n''t you bring him?"
30881cried Carroll,"did you girls take a prize at a cake walk?"
30881cried Dolly, dancing up to her host;"when can we start?"
30881do I eat ribbon and all?
30881does it hurt much?"
30881exclaimed Aunt Clara;"did the doctor say she could go down?"
30881exclaimed Carroll;"how can you read fairy tales?"
30881exclaimed her aunt;"how can you like her or dislike her, when you do n''t know her?"
30881said Dolly,"What makes you so tall?"
30881said Tod;"why do n''t you have it out, and done with it?"
30881she said;"shall I tie your hair- ribbon?"
30881what a funny name,"commented Dolly Fayre, the younger of the sisters;"do you s''pose they name the children Moss, and Tea and things like that?"
30881what is it?"
30881what sort of talk is this?
30881who are you?"
5893''Course I wo n''t if you do n''t want me to, only what DO you s''pose DID become of it?
5893A loss?
5893A nice Polly?
5893A young man?
5893ARE we?
5893Ah, my dears, how do you do?
5893Almost, are n''t you? 5893 And do you like old Egyptian things, too?
5893And us two also?
5893And was the party grand?
5893And was the window open?
5893And when will you be ready to tell?
5893And who looks after you now? 5893 And who would look after the girls?"
5893And you found another charmer?
5893And you were n''t here when he got out of his cage?
5893And you''ll forgive me, Alicia, for misjudging you?
5893And you''re sure he never leaves his cage?
5893And you, Dotty,he said,"how did it strike you?"
5893Any kin of Muriel''s?
5893Are n''t you going home on Wednesday?
5893Are they all bad?
5893Are they?
5893Are you a specimen I can use in my collection? 5893 Are you accusing Dolly of stealing that thing?"
5893Are you going anyway, Dots?
5893Are you going to buy out the whole shop, Alicia?
5893Are you sure you removed it from your frock, Miss Fayre?
5893Berwick? 5893 But WHY are we here?"
5893But do n''t you get lots of notes from-- from your audiences?
5893But do you?
5893But what did she say?
5893But what do you mean?
5893But what does your cousin mean by bringing a lot of money? 5893 But what for?"
5893But why did he ask for you?
5893But why did n''t they?
5893But wo n''t you go with us anywhere?
5893But you must come to these things we''re asking you for, wo n''t you?
5893But you told me about the joke Mr. Forbes played on you about the B. C. image, why might n''t one of you have taken this to tease him? 5893 But, DO you?"
5893But, Mr. Forbes,and the secretary spoke earnestly,"would these young ladies toss a valuable gem away carelessly?
5893But, sir, do you want to get back your gem, or not? 5893 By us?"
5893Ca n''t you bring yourself to permit that loss? 5893 Can I be of help?"
5893Can he fly as far as to go up to that window two stories higher than this? 5893 Can he fly?"
5893Can what? 5893 Can you dance?"
5893Could I go up to the room where the bird is?
5893Could any one have come in at the window?
5893Day after to- morrow? 5893 Did it ever occur to any of you,"he began,"that I invited you here for something beside a mere desire to give you young people some pleasure?"
5893Did you ever see such a perfectly horrid, hateful, contemptible old thing as that Fenn person?
5893Did you start out with that idea?
5893Did you-- where did you find it?
5893Do n''t you ever lose your temper?
5893Do n''t you have good things to eat at that nice school?
5893Do you MEAN it? 5893 Do you mean Uncle Jeff ordered that we should receive Mr. Coriell alone?"
5893Do you really want to go on the stage? 5893 Do you?"
5893Does your collection keep you so busy?
5893Dolly Fayre? 5893 Dotty, I''ll get mad at you, if you just sit there saying,''But do you?''
5893Early for a city party,insisted Alicia,"but it was an elaborate affair, after all, and what do you s''pose, Uncle Jeff?
5893Either it''s just lost, or else Mr. Fenn stole it,--or else--"Or else what?
5893Even if we are not doing it on the sly? 5893 Fenn?
5893Fly? 5893 Good time, girlies?"
5893Good- looking chap?
5893Goodness, Alicia,exclaimed Bernice,"do you think Uncle Jeff wo n''t give us enough to eat?"
5893Goodness, Dolly, ca n''t you decide a thing like that for yourself? 5893 Goodness, child, what do you mean?
5893H''m,he said,"this is Bernice; how do you do, my dear?
5893Have you enjoyed it all, so far, Alicia?
5893Have you told Bernice?
5893Have you? 5893 He tried his best to fasten it on Dolly--""Fasten the earring on?"
5893How are you going to make fudge with nothing but chocolate?
5893How did you ask her? 5893 How do YOU know?"
5893How do you know?
5893How do you like my room?
5893How is it different?
5893How old are you?
5893How shall I address him?
5893How''s your parrot?
5893Hullo, girlies,he said,"what''s up?
5893I do n''t wonder the old Egyptians loved this creature and carved their scarabs in its likeness, do you?
5893I hate to keep a diary, and what would be the use? 5893 I say, Doll, is THAT your best frock?"
5893I suppose not,said Ted, but Dolly said,"Let us see it, anyway, ca n''t you?
5893I suppose we''ll obey her?
5893I think I ought to tell Mr. Forbes, do n''t you?
5893If you know anything at all, tell us, wo n''t you?
5893Is Alicia here?
5893Is Dolly always so goody- goody?
5893Is it to be very grand? 5893 Is it-- is it all right?"
5893Is it? 5893 Is it?
5893Is n''t he queer? 5893 Is n''t it funny you should have been saying to- day that perhaps you might live in New York?"
5893Is n''t it too late?
5893Is n''t that Dolly all over?
5893Is n''t the ice fine to- day? 5893 Is she a dragon?"
5893Is she so very busy?
5893Is that a real stunt, Dolly?
5893Is that the way Miss Marie Desmond learned?
5893Is your brother''s wife living?
5893It sounds most mysterious,laughed Dolly,"ca n''t we guess what it''s all about?"
5893It''s bad enough to put up with that old Fenn''s hateful talk, but now Dolly''s gone queer, and you say Alicia has,--what ARE we to do?
5893It''s lovely,said Dolly, looking about at the pretty furnishings;"it''s in a sort of back extension, is n''t it?"
5893Just because of his craze for antiques?
5893Kleptomaniac?
5893Legerdemain?
5893Like the one we went to to- day?
5893Look here, old Professor Wiseacre, what dynasty does this junk belong to?
5893May I beg of you, Alicia,he said, sternly,"to cease raving over that man?
5893May I take it?
5893May n''t we see your collection?
5893May we have further enlightenment?
5893May we look out of your window?
5893Might n''t you have left it hooked into your lace, Dolly, and it''s there still? 5893 Musical?"
5893No,said Dotty, her black eyes dancing with the excitement of the scene;"what do you guess?"
5893No; but could n''t you board somewhere in New York?
5893None of us would take it wrongly, I''m sure-- but--"Well, but what?
5893Nothing, Dot, only do n''t talk about that gold thing, will you? 5893 Now you girls come to- night, wo n''t you?
5893Now, I''ll send tea in at quarter past four, is that your idea?
5893Now, what do we wear this evening?
5893Now, which am I?
5893Of course, it must be somewhere,--look here, Dollyrinda, you do n''t know anything about it, do you? 5893 Oh, Alicia,"cried Bernice,"what do you mean?"
5893Oh, Dollyrinda,she whispered as they stood in the hall,"do you s''pose your mother''ll EVER say yes?"
5893Oh, Mrs. Berry, wo n''t you be present?
5893Oh, Uncle Forbes, you did n''t think I took it, did you?
5893Oh, do you have a secretary?
5893Oh, is that it? 5893 Oh, may n''t we chum with you?"
5893Oh, that''s it, is it?
5893Oh, when shall I ever get these lovely things again? 5893 Oh,--well,--she DID ask you, did n''t she?
5893Oho, you have n''t, have n''t you?
5893Please, dear, sweet Dollyrinda, what DID the lady say?
5893Really? 5893 Sad at thoughts of going home?"
5893Shall I shut the window, Uncle Jeff?
5893So you''re going on the stage, are you?
5893Some milk, please,said Alicia,"and sugar, and butter,--""All the things for fudge, miss?"
5893Such as what?
5893Sunday, was it?
5893Take me there, will you? 5893 Tell us something about the old caretaker next door, wo n''t you?"
5893Tell you what?
5893Tennis, do n''t you?
5893That ISN''T very likely, is it?
5893That never was a live cat, was it?
5893That you, Joe?
5893That you, McPherson?
5893That''s so,agreed Alicia,"but how can she flout him so?
5893The blue voile for me,replied Dolly,"and-- er-- what is your name?"
5893Their figures are much like ours, are n''t they?
5893Then how can Marly be with him? 5893 Then why is n''t it there now?"
5893They can-- but will they?
5893This jewellery?
5893This, let us say?
5893This?
5893To Berwick, miss?
5893To the Metropolitan?
5893Took your fancy, did he?
5893Uncle Forbes, ca n''t we talk with you alone?
5893Want to sit down and rest a bit?
5893Was n''t that because he was made up as a young character in the play?
5893We have n''t ordered yet,--what do you girls want?
5893Well, Alicia sure is a wonder, is n''t she? 5893 Well, Alicia, how did you like your handsome, fascinating, young man?"
5893Well, look here,and Mr. Forbes''eyes twinkled"I ask you two, Dotty and Dolly, which of my two nieces is a greater favourite?"
5893Well, my dears,and he looked from one to another,"have you had a pleasant day?"
5893Well, well, Jim, hobnobbing with young people, are you?
5893Well, what of that? 5893 Well, what shall I do?"
5893Well, you ARE ready for the fray, are n''t you?
5893Well?
5893Were you surprised at our asking for this?
5893What IS going on?
5893What about school?
5893What ails Uncle?
5893What are notions?
5893What are you going to buy?
5893What are you going to wear, Dots?
5893What are you two confabbing about?
5893What are you, my dear?
5893What can it be, Uncle?
5893What did you hang up so soon for? 5893 What do YOU think of the idea?"
5893What do you do in vacation time?
5893What do you mean by that speech Dotty?
5893What do you mean by that?
5893What do you mean, you little minx?
5893What do you mean?
5893What does she mean by a secret reason for your going?
5893What for?
5893What have you lost?
5893What is it, Alicia?
5893What is it, Dolly?
5893What is it, Uncle? 5893 What is it, dearie?"
5893What is it? 5893 What is it?"
5893What is the oldest thing you have, Uncle?
5893What is? 5893 What kind of a bird is he?"
5893What makes you think we''re deceiving him?
5893What then?
5893What time shall we come?
5893What you want?
5893What''s Mrs. Berry like?
5893What''s he like?
5893What''s on for this morning?
5893What''s the matter, Dollums?
5893What''s the use?
5893What, sir? 5893 Whatamatter, Dollums?"
5893Whatever did you ask us for?
5893When did she go? 5893 When is it to be, to- morrow?"
5893When is this visit to be made?
5893Where CAN it be?
5893Where are you going? 5893 Where did you put it then?"
5893Where you been?
5893Where,--on the table?
5893Where?
5893Which frocks shall I leave out for dinner?
5893Which one of you do they like the best?
5893Who had it last?
5893Who is the unsatisfactory neighbour?
5893Who lives next door?
5893Who told you?
5893Who would n''t? 5893 Who, then?"
5893Who? 5893 Whose performance?
5893Whose plan is this?
5893Why did n''t you hand it back to me?
5893Why do n''t they all go one way?
5893Why do you call me Eddie?
5893Why do you keep such a bird?
5893Why do you say Dolly is suspected?
5893Why not?
5893Why not?
5893Why not?
5893Why, how can we tell that, right before them both?
5893Why, uncle,cried Alicia,"wo n''t we see you at all in the daytime?"
5893Why, you''ve practically said so to us, Uncle Jeff,laughed Alicia;"are you going to tell us your reason?"
5893Why?
5893Will Uncle Jeff come down, do you think?
5893Will we, do you s''pose?
5893Will you see about the tickets, Mrs. Berry? 5893 Wo n''t you go with us, Mrs. Berry,"asked Dolly,"to help pick them out?
5893Yes to what?
5893Yes, I''d love it, but how could I go there? 5893 Yes, Uncle Jeff,"responded Alicia;"will you stay and see our young man?"
5893Yes, but who first thought of it?
5893Yes, he would; why would n''t he?
5893Yes, here are old Egyptian trinkets,--aren''t they, Uncle Forbes?
5893Yes, what DO you mean, Dolly?
5893Yes; what table?
5893You like birds?
5893You stick to your taste for simpler parties?
5893''Member?"
5893A jewel, you say?"
5893And are you grand and elegant, too?"
5893And did you EVER see anything so crazy as Uncle Jeff?
5893And does he ever go out of this house?"
5893And now, Bernice and Alicia, have n''t you any young friends in town you''d like to invite to see you here?
5893And now, tell me, did you like the play?"
5893And these patent leather pumps, I daresay?"
5893And what are your plans for the morning?
5893And what''s the use of her doing anything I can do for myself?
5893And which one are you going to choose?"
5893And you, Bernice?
5893And, by the way, how''d you girls like to have a party, a real one?"
5893And, girls, wo n''t we have the great times having Alicia come to Berwick to see us all?"
5893And, say, are your own wardrobes full?"
5893Are n''t they beautiful?"
5893Are n''t you, Dollums?"
5893Are you a fashionable butterfly?
5893Are you all his nieces?"
5893Are you all sisters?
5893Are you glad?"
5893Are you going to be grand, also?"
5893Are you going to change your dress for luncheon?"
5893Are you going to the dance to- night?
5893Are you making fun of my antiques?
5893Are you sure you''re willing?"
5893Are you sure, Edith, you are willing?
5893Are you thinking somebody could spring across, take the jewel and spring back again?"
5893Are you two quarrelling?
5893Autographs?
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893Berry?"
5893But I do n''t know as we can go about much; I believe Mr. Forbes is quite an old man, and who will take us about?"
5893But I foresee these poky evenings right along, do n''t you?
5893But WHAT was that accident, and WHERE is the jewel?"
5893But how?"
5893But in that case, what did he do with it?
5893But is n''t it time we all went to bed?"
5893But we''ve enough to remember and think over for a long time, have n''t we?"
5893But who looks after you?"
5893But why should we?
5893But, Dolly, DO you?
5893But, where, ladies and gentlemen, WHERE I ask you, can I put it?
5893By telephone?"
5893C.?"
5893CHAPTER IV A MERRY QUARTETTE"Ready for dinner, girls?"
5893CHAPTER XVI WAS IT ALICIA?
5893Ca n''t we sit here?
5893Ca n''t we, Uncle Jeff?"
5893Can I, do you think?"
5893Can it be either of my two nieces who has done this wrong?
5893Can it be either of their two young friends?
5893Can we do just as we like?
5893Can we go to the art galleries and the shops alone?"
5893Can you all skate?
5893Can you come to- morrow or Friday?
5893Come, two D''s, what do you say?"
5893Coriell?"
5893Could n''t this window have been open Sunday, when Polly got out of his cage?"
5893Could she be referring to her intended elopement with Marly Turner?
5893Could we go to an evening performance?"
5893Did n''t you?"
5893Did one of you just borrow it?
5893Did she REALLY say that?"
5893Did she hold up her hands in horror?"
5893Did you bring your skates?
5893Did you make up the joke?"
5893Did you or did you NOT read that letter that''s in the pocket of my coat?"
5893Did you, Alicia?"
5893Did you?"
5893Do n''t think that you can go in there and say''May we?''
5893Do n''t you think it would be nice if he should come, with Mrs. Berry''s permission?"
5893Do n''t you think so, Perkins?"
5893Do they teach you manners and general society instruction?"
5893Do you know why he has asked us?
5893Do you mean it?
5893Do you s''pose I could have one single bit of fun going to places without you?
5893Do you think me flippant?"
5893Do you want ME to tell him?"
5893Do you want the car?"
5893Doll is n''t a prig,--is she, Bernice?"
5893Dolly began to think of school happenings; had she cut up any mischievous pranks or inadvertently done anything wrong?
5893Dolly realised that he had been about to say,"Did you decide to own up?"
5893Dotty, did you say you had some other suspicion?
5893Eh?"
5893Else why did he want not only Alicia and me but two of our friends to come for this visit?
5893Engaged?"
5893Expecting a party?
5893For a walk?"
5893Forbes?"
5893Forbes?"
5893Forbes?"
5893Forgotten me, have you?
5893Funny, is n''t it, how you like one person better''n anybody else?"
5893Have you any friends in New York, any of you?"
5893Have you seen it?"
5893Honest Injun?"
5893Hosmer?
5893How about that, Dolly?"
5893How about you, Dot?"
5893How can I find the thing, and clear you from suspicion if you have secrets from me?"
5893How can I think otherwise?
5893How did he get in?
5893How do you do?"
5893How should I know anything about it?"
5893How''s that?"
5893How''s that?"
5893How''s your wife, Jim?
5893I beg of you, my dear nieces,--my dear young friends,--I beseech you, tell me the truth, wo n''t you?"
5893I do n''t want to think so, but what alternative have I?
5893I just simply love the waffles here, do n''t you?"
5893I may go, may n''t I, Mrs. Berry?
5893I s''pose you can cut up larks in the country that you could n''t here?"
5893I say, Bernice,"she suddenly broke off,"why was he so curious about the way we live at home, and who brings us up?"
5893I say, Sam, do n''t you want these four angel children at your party?"
5893I say, ca n''t us fellows come to see you girls?
5893I say, may n''t we take you girls to the supper room?
5893I suppose it will be proper to dress up a good deal?"
5893I suppose you''ll room with your cousin, Bernice, and these other two girls together?"
5893I told you I had my chafing- dish; do n''t you girls feel fudgy?"
5893I''ll bet a pig these two stammering, blushing young misses are the far- famed Dolly and Dotty, but which is which?"
5893If you all agree?"
5893Invite parties, and all that?"
5893Is Alicia Steele that sort of a girl?"
5893Is he honest or-- or gives to thievery?"
5893Is it correct for us to go about alone, in your big motor, with your chauffeur?
5893Is n''t Alicia?"
5893Is n''t Mr. Turner acting?"
5893Is that it?"
5893It is n''t a boarding school, is it?"
5893It''s lots of work, is n''t it, to get them all properly catalogued and labelled?"
5893Join us in a cup of tea, wo n''t you?"
5893Knapp?
5893Let me see,--how about silk sweaters?
5893Marly Turner?
5893May I?"
5893May we?"
5893Mrs. Berry, what do you think became of the earring?"
5893Muriel all right?"
5893No?
5893None of us would think of such a thing, would we, girls?"
5893Not invited?
5893Now which is Miss Forbes?"
5893Now, Bernice, what do you choose?"
5893Now, do we dress for to- night''s party before dinner or after?"
5893Now, do you come to this fudge party or do you go to bed?"
5893Now, what matinee do you want to go to?
5893Now, what play?"
5893Now, will you go and ask her?
5893Of course we did n''t expect you''d be dressed like the Lascar, or-- or-- made up,--isn''t that what you call it?
5893Oh, Bernice, can we go somewhere in a taxicab while we''re there?"
5893Oh, Dot, would n''t it have been awful if we had gone home with that doubt hanging over us?"
5893Oh, WON''T your mother let you?"
5893Oh, girls, is n''t he the grandest man?
5893Or do n''t you eat?"
5893Or tickets for a box?
5893Or would you rather have a box party at the theatre?"
5893Our very bestest?"
5893Polly want a cracker?"
5893Presently two boys drifted toward our quartette, and one of them said,"What''ll be the show, do you know?"
5893Really?"
5893S''pose I go home with you after the show; may I?"
5893See here, have you all proper frocks to wear?
5893See?
5893See?"
5893Shall I go alone, or take you three chatterboxes along?"
5893Shall I return for the tray, miss?"
5893Shall I tell you which is which, or let you guess?"
5893She is your chum, is n''t she?
5893She paid no attention to Fenn''s talk; she stared at Mrs. Berry, saying,"Has she really gone?"
5893She went to that very table?"
5893Should she go to Mr. Forbes and tell him where the jewel was,--or, should she not?
5893Small town?"
5893So I''m grand and elegant, am I?
5893So you enjoyed it, did you?
5893Surely no intruder came up by way of the stairs; I ca n''t believe any one came in by the window, and what other way is there?"
5893That''s a party dress, is n''t it?"
5893The Fair Dolly?"
5893The girls stared at him blankly, and at last, Bernice said,"Which one?"
5893The question is, may Dolly go?"
5893The question is, what will your parents say?"
5893There, WHO''S a good ambassador?"
5893To study it as a curio or anything like that?"
5893Turner?"
5893Was n''t Sunday that warm, pleasant day?
5893Was nobody in the room?"
5893Was this found in a tomb?"
5893We ca n''t go anywhere alone, can we?"
5893Well, my dears, are you interested to know my choice?"
5893Well, then, do I understand, that you accept my invitation to live with me?"
5893Well, what did you think of it, Dolly?"
5893Well, what shall I wear?"
5893Were you hit so hard?"
5893What IS the matter?"
5893What about clothes, Mumsie?"
5893What are we going to do?"
5893What can I think but that you have it yet?
5893What could such a gathering mean?
5893What do you like best, next to skating?"
5893What do you mean?"
5893What do you mean?"
5893What do you mean?"
5893What do you suppose, Bernice, he asked us here for, anyway?"
5893What do you want?
5893What do your mothers let you do at home?
5893What else could bring Mr. Forbes to the Roses''on what was very evidently an important errand?
5893What frocks, ladies?
5893What has got into you, Dollyrinda?
5893What is it?"
5893What is the matter?"
5893What put you on the track in the first place?"
5893What shall I do first, Mr. Brown, to prepare for the light opera stage?"
5893What shall us talk about?"
5893What shall we talk about?"
5893What time?"
5893What would you like, Bernice?"
5893What would your mother care?"
5893What''s a joke?"
5893What''s the matter with you, Dolly, why ca n''t you tell me what you know?
5893What''s the matter?"
5893What?
5893When do we go?"
5893When will you be back, Miss Fayre?"
5893When?
5893When?"
5893When?"
5893Where are your checks?
5893Where could the jewel be?
5893Where did you lay the earring when you took it from your dress?"
5893Where do you want to go now?"
5893Where?
5893Where?"
5893Which one has the accumulating tendency?"
5893Which one of you wanted to talk to me?
5893Who are the boys?
5893Who got permission to invite your old Coriell man to tea?
5893Who took her?"
5893Who took the earring first, when Mr. Forbes handed it out from the case?"
5893Who''s stage struck?"
5893Whose parrot is it?
5893Why did he ask those things over and over?"
5893Why did he do it, anyway?"
5893Why did n''t you let US talk to him?
5893Why did n''t_ I_ think of that?
5893Why did you bring so much?"
5893Why not?
5893Why should I ask Mrs. Berry for what YOU want?"
5893Why would n''t they fit in?"
5893Why, Mr. Turner is an actor, is n''t he?"
5893Why, we will have all we can do to see the shops and the sights-- I suppose we can go around sight- seeing?"
5893Why, where can it be?"
5893Will you all come up to the museum and hunt?
5893Will you be good little girls, and not finger the exhibits, except such as I say you may?"
5893Will you come to see me at my uncle''s house, Mr. Jefferson Forbes?
5893Will you tell me if I can?"
5893With an old- fashioned bow, he took a seat near them, and asked,"Did you receive certain important documents?"
5893Would it be all right?"
5893Would she elope from the party, or return home first?
5893Yes?
5893You do my share of the clearing up, wo n''t you, Dot?"
5893You do that, will you?"
5893You say he can fly, but would he be likely to fly UP?"
5893Your father''s sister, is n''t it?"
5893and Bernice looked exasperated;"are you going to tell us all about it or not?"
5893and Joe started;"of fine work, but all broken and bent?"
5893and she hooked the trinket into the lace at her throat,"is n''t it becoming?"
5893cried Alicia, hope rising in her breast that this was not the great actor after all,"are n''t you Bayne Coriell?"
5893cried Alicia,"are you sure that''s just what he said?"
5893cried Dolly, her face turning white,"do you suppose any thing''s wrong at home?
5893cried Dotty;"who thought of a parrot?
5893do you know anything, ANYTHING at all, about the earring?"
5893exclaimed Bernice;"may n''t we have a window open, uncle?"
5893exclaimed Bernice;"why do you like to hear people talk fast?"
5893exclaimed her mother, when she saw her,"Where''s my baby?
5893grumbled Alicia;"why not for me?"
5893is that so?
5893laughed the old man,"Now, Dolly, see if you can beat that?"
5893said Ted;"I say, Dolly, take me to speak to Mrs. Berry, wo n''t you?"
5893spoke up Alicia;"who, please?"
5893the parrot?"
5893what,--oh, vouchsafe to deign to tell us, WHAT did she say?"
