44890Was it John Gaensefleisch, called Gutenberg, or possibly John Fust?
44890Were not these engravers on wood printers themselves: the Commins, Guyot Marchants, Pierre Lecarrons, Jean Trepperels, and others?

41230Ah, who can say that even this blade of grass No mission has-- superfluous as it looks?
41230And big are my eyes, and my heart''s a- beat; And my whole soul''s lost-- in what?--who knows?
41230And for the Holy Bible there, It greets us with mild teaching; Though no one its contents may hear, Does it not go on preaching?
41230And what the charm that can such health distil From wither''d leaves-- oft poisons in their bloom?
41230And who can say That life would be quite the same life to- day-- That Love would mean so much, if she Had not taught me its A B C?
41230As thus they lie upon the shelves, Such wisdom in their pages, Do they rehearse it to themselves, Or rest like silent sages?
41230But its contents?
41230But what strange art, what magic can dispose The troubled mind to change its native woes?
41230But which take with me, could I take but one?

22606Who spoils our new English books?
22606Are our publishers willing that these should be clothed according to their station?
22606Are some of them so bad that they ought to be rejected_ in toto_?
22606Are the newspapers, for instance, right as to length of line and the books as to size of type, as many suppose?
22606But at what point in the history of English literature would reformed spelling begin to work harm?
22606But can we call a man good to himself who does not avail himself of advantages that are freely open to him and that others about him are embracing?
22606But what are the steps in the descent from these ancient pictures to the printed book?
22606But what is the use to the public of this knowledge and enjoyment of ours?
22606But what of color-- splendid initials in red, blue, or green, rubricated headings, lines, or paragraphs?
22606But who is there that has not tasted the joy of discovering a great book that seemed written for himself alone?
22606But, having not the desire to read, but only a sense that he ought to have it, what shall a student do?
22606But, questions a listener, do books ever really affect people like this?
22606Could there be any clearer call for the reform of our letters?
22606Do they vary greatly in legibility?
22606Do you know all the elements that you deal with and can you handle them with a sure touch practically and esthetically?
22606Go, little book, whose pages hold Those garnered years in loving trust; How long before your blue and gold Shall fade and whiten in the dust?
22606Has each size of type a length of line normal to it?
22606Has there ever been a final"Don Quixote"?
22606How are you going to meet it?
22606How can a man tap the unknown resources, be they great or small, of his unconscious self?
22606How is this affected by leading, or is leading merely of imaginary value?
22606How long will a bad habit stand such an assault upon itself as the evening and morning practice of Forethought?
22606How shall we approach the reading of them?
22606How stands the cause of reading there?
22606How would it seem possible to reissue a printed book, copy it exactly, and yet make an atrocious blunder?
22606If so, can we trace the direction to be followed in seeking further improvement?
22606In the generation that has succeeded these experiments have we made any progress in adapting print to eyes along the lines of these conclusions?
22606In view of this prodigious literary output, what progress can the reader hope to make in"keeping up with the new books"?
22606Is all this wholly a matter of reading?
22606Is it any wonder that in progress, wealth, and influence the one community starts where the other leaves off?
22606Is it not after all a fruitless piece of self- indulgence?
22606Is the blackest black on the whitest white better, for instance, than blue- black on buff- white, and how much?
22606Is the fault one of race, or government, or religion?
22606Is the resultant more beautiful than the spotless original?
22606Is the treasure in question one that moth and rust can corrupt or that thieves can break through and steal?
22606Is there any difference as regards legibility between antique and medium plate finish, and which is better and by what percentage?
22606Is white on black not better than black on white, and, if so, in what exact degree?
22606It is easy to represent a house, but how shall we represent a home?
22606It is easy to represent a woman, but how shall we add the idea of wife?
22606Mr. Stevens now comes to the direct question: Who spoils our new English books?
22606On showing the book to Henry Stevens, the bookseller, the latter, glancing at a page, inquired,"Why pap_a_r instead of pap_e_r?"
22606Or is the real solution to be found in some other color contrast as yet untried?
22606Or shall we say that they soon forgot their proper subordination to the type and have since kept up a more or less open revolt?
22606Shall we find in any of these homes a daily or a weekly paper, or a monthly magazine, or even a stray book?
22606Shall we therefore change our book material twenty times in the next twenty thousand years?
22606THE STUDENT AND THE LIBRARY What does a student of five and twenty years ago still remember of his college?
22606Taking the service of printing as it stands to- day, what does it actually do for the reader?
22606There is another test, which is really a part of this: Can you share it without loss?
22606We may disregard them for the moment, and, in reply to the question, What is the book of to- day?
22606We realize that contrast between paper and ink is necessary, but is the greatest contrast the best?
22606What are the chief defects of the Chinese book from an occidental point of view?
22606What is the great difference between the printed word and even the best handwriting?
22606What is the test, the touchstone, by which we can tell to which class any value belongs?
22606What makes this tremendous difference?
22606What then are some of the points that we may call in science to settle?
22606What to them was progress in other lands, or the claims of a future that could not be enforced?
22606What was the process?
22606What, for instance, could be more illogical than to make a book any thicker than strength and convenience require?
22606What, therefore, shall be the typography of books that we love, that we know by heart?
22606Where shall the student find such a guide?
22606Who can tell what is the normal length of line for legibility, or whether there is one, and whether there is an ideal size of type, or what it is?
22606Who ever saw Mr. Updike''s specimen pages for an edition of the"Imitatio Christi,"in old English type, without a desire to possess the completed work?

22608And what of the newspaper?
22608But here comes in the problem-- can the requisite authority to lay the tax be secured?

22608It was but"A Modern Instance"Of true"Love''s Random Shot,"And I,"The Heir of Redclyffe"Was"Kidnapped": and"Why Not"?

22608Shall you refer then to the English Catalogue for its title?
22608Suppose( as often happens) that you bind your pamphlet, does it then cease to be a pamphlet, and become a book?

22608The pride of dead and dawning years, How can a poet best repay The debt he owes your House to- day?
22608The word is in Shakespeare:"Comest thou with deep premeditated lines, With written pamphlets studiously devised?"
22608This is what is known as a"Dictionary catalogue"; but why is it preferable to any other?

22608Who ever felt Miss Austen tame, or called Sir Walter slow?

11251But what of that?
11251But where was the Greek model of the noble poem of Lucretius?
11251But why not?

11251He seems seriously to have proceeded on Mr. Bays''s maxim--"What the deuce is a plot good for, but to bring in fine things?"
11251His books may have lost in art, perhaps, but could we afford to wait?
11251How can we account for all this?
11251How comes it that Jane had acquired neither?

11251Is there any thing in his learned, abstracted, and logical harangues, that savours of the calling that is ascribed to him?
11251It may be proper in them; but what can make it proper to us?

11251_ Tickler._ Southey-- Coleridge-- Moore?
11251and by what Greek minor poems are they surpassed?
11251and the"What then, sir?"

28540Alack, sir,rejoined the landlady,"what is there that thus disturbs you in the sight of those books?
28540How is this?
28540I am at a loss,said Philemon,"to comprehend exactly what you mean?"
28540I dreamt a dream last night;which has been already told-- but what was yours?
28540Madam,said Ferdinand,"is there no possibility of inspecting the_ books_ in the_ cupboard_--where is the key?"
28540Well, and what message was this? 28540 Well, then, and will we see what a weighty message this was that Gardiner so exquisitely commended?
28540What dream has disturbed your rest?
28540What,cried I,"is the meaning of these objects?"
28540When the king saw the Archbishop enter the room, he said,''What have you brought with you those_ rarities_ and_ jewels_ you told me of?'' 28540 Who BUT John Clarke?"

28540--Is it not probable that Dr. Johnson himself might have sold for SIXPENCE, a_ Tusser_, which now would have brought a''GOLDEN GUINEA?'']
28540--What say you to this specimen of Caxtonian eloquence?
285405 5 0( Shall I put one, or one hundred marks-- not of admiration but of astonishment-- at this price?!

28540A little volume of indescribable rarity 12 15 0 221 Arnold''s Chronicle, 4to., printed at Antwerp, by Doesborch( 1502)?
28540After such an account, what bibliomaniac can enjoy perfect tranquillity of mind unless he possess a_ Grollier copy_ of some work or other?
28540Ah, well- a- day!--have I not come to the close of my BOOK- HISTORY?
28540Alas, madam!--why are you so unreasonable?
28540Alas, when will all these again come under the hammer at one sale?!
28540Am I to talk for ever?
28540And do you imagine that no one, but yourself, has his pockets"lined with pistoles,"on these occasions?
28540And of this latter who can possibly entertain a doubt?
28540And pray what are these?
28540And when they tell ought, what delight can be in those things that be so plain and foolish lies?
28540And why not?
28540Are there any other bibliomaniacs of distinction yet to notice?
28540Are we as successful in printing upon vellum as were our forefathers?
28540Are you accustomed to attend book- auctions?
28540Are you then an enemy to booksellers, or to their catalogues when interlaced with bibliographical notices?
28540At what bookseller''s shop, or at what auction, are they to be procured?
28540But I suppose you would not object to be set right upon any subject of which you are ignorant or misinformed?
28540But I suspect you exaggerate?
28540But am I to be satisfied with the possession of those works already recommended?
28540But bibliography has never been, till now, a popular( shall I say fashionable?)
28540But can not you resume this conversation on the morrow?
28540But can you properly place Erasmus in the list?
28540But does he atone for his sad error by being liberal in the loan of his volumes?
28540But first tell us-- why are these copies so much coveted?
28540But had we not better speak of the book ravages, during the reformation, in their proper place?"
28540But have I not discoursed sufficiently?
28540But have you quite done, dear Lysander?
28540But how may this heat be brought again?
28540But it must have been obtained in the golden age of book- collecting?
28540But our friend is not forgetful of his promise?
28540But what becomes of the English, Spanish, and Italian bibliographers all this while?
28540But what can be said in defence of the dissolute lives of the monks?
28540But what has a BIBLIOGRAPHICAL ROMANCE to do with_ Love_ and_ Marriage_?
28540But what has become of Ashmole all this while?
28540But what is become, in the while, of the English, Italian, and Spanish bibliographers-- in the seventeenth century?
28540But what is to be done?
28540But what is to be done?
28540But what shall we say to Lord Shaftesbury''s eccentric neighbour, HENRY HASTINGS?
28540But where shall we begin?
28540But why are we about to make learned dissertations upon the old English Chronicles?
28540But why is perfection to be expected, where every thing must necessarily be imperfect?
28540But why so suddenly silent, gentlemen?
28540But why so warm upon the subject?
28540But you promise to commence your_ symptomatic_ harangue on the morrow?
28540But you promise to renew the subject afterwards?
28540But you promise, when you revisit the library, not to behave so naughtily again?
28540But, Philemon, consider with what grace could this charge come from HIM who had"shed innocent blood,"to gratify his horrid lusts?
28540Can any eyes be so jaundiced as to prefer volumes printed in this crabbed, rough, and dismal manner?
28540Can it be possible?
28540Can such a declaration, from such a character, be credited?
28540Can the enlightened reader want further proof of the existence of the BIBLIOMANIA in the nunnery of Godstow?
28540Can these things be?
28540Can you find it in your heart, dear brother, to part with your black- letter Chronicles, and Hakluyt''s Voyages, for these new publications?
28540Can you introduce me to him?"
28540Come a short half hour, and who, unless the moon befriend him, can see the outline of the village church?
28540Did Geyler allude to such bibliomaniacs in the following sentence?
28540Did you ever read the inscription over the outside of my library door-- which I borrowed from Lomeir''s account of one over a library at Parma?
28540Did''st ever hear, Lisardo, of one WILLIAM THYNNE?
28540Do pray tell me what it is you wish me to go on with?
28540Do they contain more than the ordinary ones?
28540Do you frankly forgive-- and will you henceforth consider me as a worth[ Transcriber''s Note: worthy]"_ Aspirant_"in the noble cause of bibliography?
28540Do you mean to have it inferred that there were no collections, of value or importance, which were sold in the mean time?
28540Does he ever quote Clement, De Bure, or Panzer?
28540Does not this recital chill your blood with despair?
28540Does this madness''Grow with our growth, and strengthen with our strength?''
28540Dr. R(awlinson, qu.?)
28540First, therefore, what is meant by LARGE PAPER COPIES?
28540For heaven''s sake, into what society are we introduced, sister?
28540From what period shall we take up the history of BOOKISM( or, if you please, BIBLIOMANIA) in this country?
28540From what you say, it would appear to be wiser to lay out one''s money at a bookseller''s than at a book- auction?
28540Good news, I trust?
28540Good!--even good-- Robin- hood?
28540Had you not better confine yourself to personal anecdote, rather than enter into the boundless field of historical survey?
28540Has the reader ever seen the same primate''s copy of the_ Aldine Aristophanes_, 1498, in the same place?
28540Have we any other symptom to notice?
28540Have we here no patriotic spirit similar to that which influenced the Francises, Richlieus, Colberts, and Louises of France?
28540Have you many such characters to notice?
28540Have you nothing else, in closing this symptomatic subject, to discourse upon?
28540Have you recovered, Sir, the immense fatigue you must have sustained from the exertions of yesterday?
28540Have you the conscience to ask for more?
28540He afterwards came to himself, and demanded whether or not the king had arrived?
28540He replied,''But, Sir, shall I not now have it with me?''
28540How can I, therefore, after the fatigues of the whole of yesterday, and with barely seven hours of daylight yet to follow, pretend to enter upon it?
28540How do you feel?
28540How is this?
28540How shall I talk of thee, and of thy wonderful collection, O RARE RICHARD FARMER?
28540How so?
28540I have no doubt that there was a_ presentation_ copy printed UPON VELLUM; but in what cabinet does this precious gem now slumber?]
28540I hear him exclaim--"Where is this treasure now to be found?"
28540I hope you forgive her, Lysander?
28540I suppose, then, that Bagford, Murray, and Hearne, were not unknown to this towering bibliomaniac?
28540I suspect that, like many dashing artists, you are painting for_ effect_?
28540I think HENDERSON''S[397] library was sold about this time?
28540I will make a memorandum to try to secure this"comical"piece, as you call it; but has it never been reprinted in our"_ Corpora Poetarum Anglicorum_?"
28540If I mistake not, I observe the mild and modest countenance of my old acquaintance, HERBERT, in this bibliographical group of heads?
28540If it be said-- why"draw his frailties from their drear abode?"
28540In each of these instances, should we have heard the harsh censures which have been thrown out against it?
28540Is THOMAS RAWLINSON[375] so particularly deserving of commendation, as a bibliomaniac?
28540Is decoration to be confined only to the exterior?
28540Is not my reason good?"
28540Is that so formidable?
28540Is there any other passion, or fancy, in the book- way, from which we may judge of Bibliomaniacism?
28540Is this an episode?
28540Is this digressive?
28540Is''t not so, Lisardo?
28540It is unluckily printed upon wretched paper-- but who rejects the pine- apple from the roughness of its coat?
28540Let_ half_ of another similar course of time roll on, and where will the SURVIVORS be?
28540Look at your old romances, and what is the system of education-- of youthful pursuits-- which they in general inculcate?
28540Mercy on us-- what is this_ Burr_?!
28540Most true; but, in my humble opinion, most ridiculous; for what can a sensible man desire beyond the earliest and best editions of a work?
28540My question, yesterday evening, was-- if I remember well-- whether a_ mere collector_ of books was necessarily a bibliomaniac?
28540No; but I will line my pockets with pistoles, and who dare oppose me?
28540Now a- days, the last article alone would pr duce[ Transcriber''s Note: produce]--shall I say_ nine_ times the sum of the whole?
28540Now let any man, in his sober senses, imagine what must have been the number of volumes contained in the library of the above- named THOMAS RAWLINSON?
28540Now pray, Sir, inform us what is meant by that strange term, UNCUT COPIES?
28540Now, my friends, what have you to say against the_ English_ system of education?
28540Now, tell me who is yonder strange looking gentleman?
28540Of Padaloup, De Rome, and Baumgarten, where is the fine collection that does not boast of a few specimens?
28540Of SIR THOMAS MORE,[296] where is the schoolboy that is ignorant?
28540Of what do you suppose he would have informed us, had he indulged this bibliographical gossipping?
28540On collationnoit ensuite pour vérifier s''il n''y avoit ni transposition, ni omission de feuilles ou de pages?!!''
28540Or, is not_ that_ the most deserving of commendation which produces the most numerous and pleasing associations of ideas?
28540Or, open the beautiful volumes of the late interesting translation of Monstrelet, and what is almost the very first thing which meets your eye?
28540Passe, with thirty- two Englishes[ qu?
28540Perhaps you will go on with the mention of some distinguished patrons''till you arrive at that period?
28540Perhaps, Three Hundred Guineas?
28540Pray consider what will be the issue of this madness?
28540Pray inform us what are the means of cure in this disorder?
28540Quis enim in tanta multitudine rerum et librorum omnia exhauriret?
28540Quis non alicubi impingeret?
28540Quis putet esse Deos?
28540Quis salvum ab invidia caput retraheret, ac malignitatis dentes in liberiore censura evitaret?
28540Shakspeare, surely, could never have meant to throw such"physic"as this"to the dogs?!"
28540Shew me in what respect the gallant spirit of an ancient knight was hostile to the cultivation of the belles- lettres?
28540Skelton and Roy are in my library;[316] but who is RAMSAY?
28540Speak-- are you about to announce the sale of some bibliographical works?
28540Such a collection, sold at the present day-- when there is such a"_ qui vive_"for the sort of literature which it displays-- what would it produce?
28540Suppose we had found such a treatise in the volumes of Gronovius and Montfaucon?
28540Surely he knew something about books?
28540Tell me-- are bibliographers usually thus eloquent?
28540Tell us, good Lysander, what can you possibly mean by the_ seventh symptom_ of the Bibliomania, called TRUE EDITIONS?
28540The Clementine and Florentine museums?
28540The Spira Virgil of 1470, UPON VELLUM, will alone confer celebrity upon the_ first_ catalogue-- but what shall we say to the_ second_?
28540The leaves"discourse most eloquently"as you turn them over: and what sound, to the ears of a thorough bred bibliomaniac, can be more"musical?"]
28540The reader may, perhaps, wish for this,"coronation dinner?"
28540The science( dare I venture upon so magnificent a word?)
28540The weather will probably be fine, and let us enjoy a morning_ conversazione_ in THE ALCOVE?
28540Then, reading the title- page, he said,''What is this?
28540There is at present no reprint of either; and can I afford to bid ten or twelve guineas for each of them at a public book- sale?
28540They have likewise been made use of by several in part, but how much more complete had this been, had it been finished by himself?"
28540To what?
28540To whom do such gems belong?"
28540Upon condition that you promise not to interrupt me again this evening?
28540Upon what principle,_ a priori_, are we to ridicule and condemn it?
28540Upwards of thirty guineas?
28540Was Captain Sw- n, a Prisoner on Parole, to be catechised?

28540Was not this( think you) a good mean to live chaste?
28540Was there ever a more provoking blunder?!]
28540We admit Vitruvius, Inigo Jones, Gibbs, and Chambers, into our libraries: and why not Mr. Hope''s book?
28540We have heard of De Thou and Colbert, but who is GROLLIER?
28540Weary!?
28540What are become of Malvolio''s busts and statues, of which you were so solicitous to attend the sale, not long ago?
28540What are become of our bibliomaniacal heroes?
28540What can there possibly be in a large paper copy of a_ Catalogue of Books_ which merits the appellation of"nobleness"and"richness?"
28540What can you say in defence of your times of beloved chivalry?
28540What countenances are those which beam with so much quiet, but interesting, expression?
28540What defects do you discover here, Lysander?
28540What does the reader think of 2000 chickens, 4000 pigeons, 4000 coneys, 500"and mo,"stags, bucks, and roes, with 4000"pasties of venison colde?"

28540What has become of Wyatt and Surrey-- and when shall we reach Leland and Bale?
28540What has become of the said Dr. Kenrick now?
28540What have we here?
28540What have we to do more with him than with the great Calypha of Damascus?
28540What is his name?
28540What is the meaning of this odd symptom?
28540What other ills have you to enumerate, which assail the region of literature?"
28540What say you?
28540What should I do with such books?
28540What should I rehearse here, what a bunch of BALLADS AND SONGS, all ancient?
28540What should he do?
28540What should now be done?
28540What think you of such a ridiculous passion in the book- way?
28540What was to be expected, but that boys, thus educated, would hereafter fall victims to the BIBLIOMANIA?]
28540What would we not give for an authenticated representation of Dean Colet in his library,[295] surrounded with books?
28540When and how do you propose going?
28540When does my Lord Brougham_ really_ mean to reform the law?
28540Where are we digressing?
28540Where sleep now the relics of DYSON''S Library, which supplied that_ Helluo Librorum_, Richard Smith, with"most of his rarities?
28540Which is the next symptom that you have written down for me to discourse upon?
28540Which of these is indicative of the_ true_ edition?
28540Who is that gentleman, standing towards the right of the auctioneer, and looking so intently upon his catalogue?
28540Who is the next bibliomaniac deserving of particular commendation?
28540Who is this Marcus?
28540Who shall hence doubt of the propriety of classing Ascham among the most renowned bibliomaniacs of the age?]
28540Who that has seen how frequently his name is affixed to Dedications, can disbelieve that Cecil was a LOVER OF BOOKS?
28540Who will accompany me?
28540Why does such indifference to the cause of general learning exist-- and in the 19th century too?
28540Why have I delayed, to the present moment, the mention of that illustrious bibliomaniac, EARL PEMBROKE?
28540Why this abrupt interruption?
28540Will not such volcanic fury burn out in time?
28540Will the same friend display equal fickleness in regard to THIS volume?
28540Will this word"re- animate his clay?"
28540With what?
28540Yet further intelligence?"
28540Yet what could justify the cruelty of dragging this piece of private absurdity before the public tribunal, on the death of its author?
28540Yet what has he not_ produced_ since that representation of his person?
28540Yet, who was surrounded by a larger troop of friends than the Individual who raised the Monument?
28540You allude to a late sale in Pall Mall, of one of the choicest and most elegant libraries ever collected by a man of letters and taste?
28540You allude to the STRAWBERRY HILL Press?
28540You are averse then to the study of bibliography?
28540You are full of book anecdote of Elizabeth: but do you forget her schoolmaster, ROGER ASCHAM?
28540You did not probably bid ten guineas for it, Lisardo?
28540You do n''t mean to sport_ hereditary_ aversions, or hereditary attachments?
28540You have all talked loudly and learnedly of the BOOK- DISEASE; but I wish to know whether a_ mere collector_ of books be a bibliomaniac?
28540You have called the reign of Henry the Seventh the AUGUSTAN- BOOK- AGE; but, surely, this distinction is rather due to the æra of Queen Elizabeth?
28540You observe, my friends, said I, softly, yonder active and keen- visaged gentleman?
28540You remember what Cowper says-- God made the country, and Man made the town?
28540You wished for these books, to_ set fire_ to them perhaps-- keeping up the ancient custom so solemnly established by your father?
28540]: from which will he obtain the clearer notions?
28540_ Where_ will you look for such books?
28540a place upon his shelf?
28540and Elizabeth, paid in proportion for the volumes of_ their_ Libraries?
28540and if so, has Mr. Hope illustrated it properly?
28540and set them to sale:''Magno conatu nihil agimus,''& c.''Quis tam avidus librorum helluo,''who can read them?
28540and, if so, are works, which treat of these only, to be read and applauded?
28540by one John Southern?
28540goods?
28540l.?
28540of the editor''s taste, than the ensuing representation of a pilgrim Hawker?
28540or suppose something similar to Mr. Hope''s work had been found among the ruins of Herculaneum?
28540said the king,''is it possible we shall behold yet more rarities?''
28540what they sold for?
28540when will such gems again glitter at one sale?
28540which you have in your possession?''
28540which, collectively, did not produce 35_l._--but which now, would have been sold for----!?
45417All right for me to shin up?
45417All set?
45417All set?
45417An''Marse Joyce figured he''d beat it to Rooshia jes''as soon as he could put his han''s on de plans?
45417And he let you go after you''d worked for him all that time?
45417And how do you expect to do that without being nabbed right off the bat?
45417And if your father really wrote a letter to you, and they knew it-- why did they wait nearly three months before they tried to steal it?
45417And they would n''t believe you, eh?
45417And what''s on the farther side of the Joyce property?
45417And what''s the other?
45417And what,asked the portly gentleman, coming at once to the point,"will you take for that motor, Miss Dixon?"
45417And when you sight the historic mansion?
45417And why did they start in using strong arm stuff right off the bat?
45417And you want to come? 45417 And-- and you carried me all this way?"
45417Are n''t hurt, are you?
45417Are you deaf?
45417Are you hurt, Bill?
45417Are you just stubborn, or in your dotage? 45417 Betty, be- have, will you?
45417Betty, you stay here, and--"And have them break in the back door while you two are in the front hall? 45417 But do n''t you see?
45417But do n''t you think you''d better get out your revolver, Dorothy? 45417 But how come, Dorothy?"
45417But how on earth can we find it in the dark?
45417But how on earth-- did they say anything about the contents of the letter?
45417But if Joyce was in business with Mr. Conway, why did n''t Stoker mention that?
45417But is the rope long enough?
45417But not so good on a rainy night, eh? 45417 But please tell me what it is you''re trying to find?"
45417But suppose this one is?
45417But suppose those men have come back?
45417But tell me-- what did you do to that crew outside?
45417But that does n''t get us anywhere, does it?
45417But there is a way out?
45417But what plans?
45417But what''ll you do about my slicker, Bill? 45417 But what''s that rabbit got to do with our tracks?"
45417But what''s the use of hangin''round?
45417But what_ was_ Joyce after?
45417But who is this Mr. Joyce you speak of, Uncle?
45417But who''s going to wash all these dishes?
45417But will the tree hold us both? 45417 But your wet clothes, Miss Dixon?"
45417But-- suppose you are n''t able to get to a window?
45417By the way, Mrs. Johnson, I wonder if we can trespass on your good humor still further?
45417Can you run now?
45417Catch anything?
45417Count yourself out? 45417 D''you think I''d let_ Wispy_ mash up my best friend?
45417Den yo''all knows Marse George?
45417Did you bring some extra gas for_ Wispy_?
45417Did you find the book he wanted?
45417Did you get the police?
45417Did you speak?
45417Do n''t answer me back that way, do you hear?
45417Do n''t tell me you can actually see to dodge these branches and tree trunks?
45417Do you come from New Canaan?
45417Do you happen to have an extra car that we could borrow for a few hours?
45417Do you happen to have the copy that was sent you, here in the house?
45417Do you know where Mr. Joyce and his men are now?
45417Do you know where they are?
45417Do you know who he is?
45417Do you mind saying how much?
45417Do you really think they''ve gone?
45417Do you think I''m enjoying this? 45417 Do you think he really is mixed up with J. J. J. in this business?"
45417Do you think it possible that old Lewis knew that your Father wrote you that letter-- and believes that it''s in this house? 45417 Do you think the letter Mr. Conway is supposed to have written Stoker could possibly have had anything to do with patents?"
45417Do? 45417 Dollars?"
45417Dorothy''s some little bargainer, ai n''t she?
45417Everything all right?
45417Going to call up Stoker?
45417Got any ideas?
45417Got your knitting and everything? 45417 Had n''t I better call in Marse Bill?"
45417Had n''t I better carry it down the hill?
45417Had n''t you better introduce your friends? 45417 Has Mr. Lewis ever spoken to you about it?"
45417Has yo''all heard de news, Liza?
45417Have you read it, Conway?
45417He''s such a good- looking boy, too-- don''t tell me they''ve killed him or anything?
45417Heard about you both-- who has n''t? 45417 Him and me both, eh?
45417Ho-- how come I ca n''t do it, Abe? 45417 How about it, Uncle Abe?
45417How about me?
45417How about me?
45417How about the chances we''ll take in breaking into Nearma?
45417How about the coffee, Bill?
45417How about the fame you won in the diamond smuggling case? 45417 How come Marse Bill was able ter build dat engin''?
45417How come, uncle?
45417How did you find out?
45417How did you happen to go there last night?
45417How did you know there was a river down in the valley?
45417How do we get to it, Uncle?
45417How do we know that friend Joyce has n''t got hold of Stoker and possibly Terry, too?
45417How do you do it?
45417How do you figure that?
45417How do you get that way, Betty? 45417 How far does it go?"
45417How in the world did you manage this?
45417How many are still here?
45417How safe?
45417How should I know?
45417How''s that?
45417I said why keep the secret to yourself? 45417 I suppose you know the cook over there, Uncle?"
45417I suppose you want me to open it?
45417I wonder why Father did n''t tell me of those plans?
45417In other words, why must you put in your foot every time you open your mouth? 45417 Is folks a- follerin''yo''chill''un?"
45417Is n''t he perfectly sweet?
45417Is n''t it terrible?
45417Is that all clear?
45417Is that you, Dorothy?
45417Is there another way?
45417Is your ladyship ready to go now?
45417It''s about time we beat it over to Stoker''s, do n''t you think?
45417It''s none of my particular business, of course, but would you mind telling me the reason for all this rough house? 45417 Jones''Aircraft Power Plants, was n''t it?"
45417Joyce could n''t try to steal patents registered in Mr. Conway''s name, could he?
45417Let''s see-- where was I? 45417 Look here, supper''s nearly ready, and since I''ve set everybody else to work, suppose I give you a job, too?
45417Mind if I come in for a minute or two?
45417Mr. Lewis, do you mind if I take it home with me?
45417Must be what?
45417Near ma?
45417Nice lady- like reputation, what?
45417No-- have you?
45417Not afraid to stay here, are you?
45417Not very subtle, were they? 45417 Obey orders?"
45417Oh, is he? 45417 Oh, is that so?
45417Oh, you do, do you?
45417Oh,_ yeah_?
45417Old Lewis?
45417Open up, do you hear, River? 45417 Questions?"
45417Right here? 45417 River?
45417Say, are you crazy, or am I?
45417Say, it''s great, the way you''ve pitched in here-- did you have a hard time finding things?
45417See here, will you pipe down?
45417So you think it was your tracks we followed?
45417So you''d been surprised, eh?
45417Some wonderworker, is n''t she?
45417Surely you''re not going to show a light?
45417Taking a--_warm_?
45417That''s interesting-- wonder what he wants with George?
45417That''s the question--_can_ we do anything?
45417The letter is--?
45417The one you saw, Terry?
45417The super''s house is right across the reservation from here, if I recall rightly?
45417The white one in the trees?
45417Then who is?
45417Think we''d better get back to the house?
45417Think you can find the cart road?
45417Think you could pilot us down there and give those guys in the woods the miss?
45417Those guys below us know we''re up here, so what does it matter?
45417Turn to the right?
45417Uncle Abe,she said, looking straight into his shining eyes,"do you really like living up there in the woods, all by yourself?"
45417Wat''s all dis I''m a- hearin''?
45417We want some clothesline, to tie up these here nuisances-- an''if you do n''t cough some up right now-- I''ll bump you off, see?
45417Well, I apologize for us all,Bill leaned across the table,"we were only kidding you-- weren''t we, Betty?"
45417Well, Uncle?
45417Well, are you game?
45417Well, then you must have read about Mr. Bolton, here, too? 45417 Well, we''ve got to get off this reservation-- how are we going to do it?"
45417Well, what of it? 45417 Well, what''s the dope?"
45417Well, what''s the dope?
45417Well, what''s the good word now, Dorothy?
45417Well, why ca n''t you help me?
45417Well, why do n''t you speak?
45417Well-- what do you think we''ve run into-- a college houseparty or something?
45417Well?
45417Whar dey at?
45417What I mean is, could you hear the bell ring in Stoker''s house?
45417What I want to know,she said in conclusion,"is how they happened to catch you napping-- and what''s become of George Conway and Betty?"
45417What are we going to do?
45417What are you doing?
45417What are you talking about?
45417What are you trying to do, Bill, evade my question?
45417What are you waiting for?
45417What business is that of yours?
45417What can I do for you?
45417What can those people be after if it is n''t the patents on Mr. Conway''s inventions?
45417What d''you take us for-- a pair of fools? 45417 What dey doin''uphyar in de woods at dis time o''night?"
45417What did I tell you?
45417What did his card say, I mean?
45417What do you plan to do? 45417 What fo''yo''all chasin''dese hyar chillun in de woods?"
45417What happened tonight, before we came?
45417What if they wo n''t let us in?
45417What is it you''re driving at?
45417What is it?
45417What kept you so long, Bill?
45417What of it? 45417 What on earth is it?"
45417What patents?
45417What price rock salt?
45417What rope?
45417What say? 45417 What say?"
45417What say?
45417What say?
45417What say?
45417What trails were you on?
45417What tree?
45417What''ll I do if it''s locked?
45417What''s become of them?
45417What''s that got to do with it? 45417 What''s the matter?"
45417What''s the next move?
45417What''s your big idea, Terry?
45417What-- what are you afraid of, Dorothy?
45417What-- what''s the matter?
45417What? 45417 What?"
45417Where am I?
45417Where are the plans, and what has the book to do with them?
45417Where are we?
45417Where are your visitors?
45417Where did all these swell eggs come from, Uncle?
45417Where do they keep the bread box in this house, anyway?
45417Where do we go from here?
45417Where do you get this''we''stuff?
45417Where do you suppose it goes?
45417Where have that boy and girl gone to?
45417Which one is that?
45417Which way is that woodlot trail from here?
45417Who are you-- and what do you want?
45417Who dat?
45417Who goes first? 45417 Who was that man, Uncle Abe?"
45417Who won the game?
45417Who would?
45417Who''s there?
45417Why are you so sure?
45417Why do n''t you do something, Chick?
45417Why not get them up here now?
45417Why not? 45417 Why so sarcastic?"
45417Why? 45417 Wonder who he''s working for?"
45417Yeah? 45417 Yes, yes, what of it?"
45417Yes? 45417 Yes?"
45417You did?
45417You do n''t know? 45417 You mean-- where we''re bound for?"
45417You mean-- which he left to Stoker?
45417You must be almost as good as Betty that is, I mean--"Who''s taking my name in vain?
45417You say that his father and Mr. Joyce were friends-- that they had dealings of some sort together?
45417You think they may still be in the offing?
45417You think, then, that he sold them before his death?
45417You''ve seen him before?
45417_ George?_exploded Dorothy.
45417_ He_ talked loud enough,--quite an old gentleman, is n''t he?
45417_ We?_Dorothy''s tone was richly sarcastic.
45417_ Where?_they cried in chorus.
45417A cup of tea, now, to warm you up and some of these nice crisp crullers I made yesterday?
45417All sereno here, I take it?"
45417All set?"
45417An''what do we use fer rope?"
45417And I suppose, after being up here for nearly ten years, you can find your way about in those woods?"
45417And how''s Betty tonight?
45417And to be honest, how can you expect me to guess the right answers when you do n''t know them yourself?
45417And what am I to do while you''re in the house mixing it up with those thugs?
45417And what is my important work to consist of?"
45417Answer me, ca n''t you?"
45417Any place in this hotel where I can wash and slick up a bit, Uncle?"
45417Bad night, is n''t it?"
45417Been reading the British poets or something?"
45417Bill Bolton, the flyer--?"
45417Bill, do you think they''ll find the chimney?"
45417Buckshot, at that distance?"
45417But are you sure I ca n''t tempt you to stay for Sunday dinner?
45417But how did you happen to be in here?"
45417But maybe there was no firm-- of Joyce and Conway?
45417But tell me, Auntie-- do you know where they''re keeping this young man?"
45417But there''s no hurry about your leavin'', is there?
45417But what did such trifles matter when one was bent upon a great achievement?
45417But what do you think''s happened?"
45417But where are Betty and George?"
45417By the way, do they teach English or just plain Connecticut Yankee at the New Canaan High?
45417By the way, which side of the river have you got the bus parked?"
45417Call Terry in, will you?
45417Can we come in out of the wet for a little while?"
45417Can you hear what they''re saying in the next room?"
45417Chapter VIII THE CHIMNEY Then on her right she heard a soft rustling, immediately followed by a low call:"Dorothy, where are you?"
45417Chapter XIV THE LION''S DEN"No answer at all?"
45417Could you slide down ours and untie that from the bushes, then shin up again?"
45417Did you leave your gun in the library, George?"
45417Do n''t you remember the movies last night?
45417Do you expect me to stick out here with the car and see that somebody does n''t steal the tires?"
45417Do you feel able to go on now?"
45417Do you know what happened to their car?"
45417Do you think I''m going to let you walk into that place alone?"
45417Do you want them out after us?
45417Ever been in the Reservation, Bill?"
45417Except--"here Dorothy looked stern,"I do n''t approve of your housekeeping methods-- I had to scour the frying pan twice, sir, do you realize that?"
45417Have you any suggestions to give us?"
45417Have you boys had supper?"
45417He was such a darling looking boy and--""My goodness-- what have his looks got to do with it?
45417Hear it just over there to the right?"
45417How about you, Uncle Abe?"
45417How are you making out?"
45417How can any of us learn anything unless you give Stoker a chance to get on with his story?"
45417How dat man goin''ter keep all dose young folks locked in his house while he try to sell dem plans?
45417How did you get here?"
45417How did you get it?"
45417How do you know Joyce''s men have n''t got them tied up in the house?"
45417How in the wide world did you ever get rouge on the end of your nose?
45417How is it done?"
45417How would you like to live in quarters over our garage and work for my father?
45417How''ll that be?"
45417I hope you do n''t mind my mentioning such a prosaic thing-- but do you happen to have anything to eat in the house?"
45417I thought dat de plans was lost?"
45417I''m soaked nearly to my waist-- how about you?"
45417If Mr. Conway still owned patent rights on his inventions, why were n''t they mentioned in the will?"
45417If there is one, how is it going to help us?"
45417If you know the way out, why do n''t you say so?"
45417Is dat what yo''all wanter know, ma''am?"
45417Is it far away?"
45417Is n''t it possible that Mr. Joyce may have acted as Mr. Conway''s agent-- sold the inventions for him, perhaps?
45417Is that clear to you, Betty?"
45417Is there much farther to go?"
45417Johnson?"
45417Joyce?"
45417Let''s see-- where was I?"
45417May I use your telephone?"
45417Now tell me-- are you going to pull yourself together and be of some help?
