12244	between-- But why multiply examples?
12244	or, Who cares for that?
44133	And who is that sweet- faced girl in the pew just in front of the pulpit? 44133 But do n''t you believe that we have faults that we ought to try to conquer?"
44133	But do you really think, Miss Benton,said Ernestine, raising her eyes,"that we can so completely conquer our faults?"
44133	But for a woman reared as she had been, what was there to do? 44133 But what kind of a pie, Miss Benton?"
44133	But why should she do that?
44133	Can you help Ernestine any by neglecting your own duties, dear? 44133 Did Norah det sick so''Innie have to''ork so hard?
44133	Did n''t you say we were to help each other? 44133 Do n''t I?
44133	Do? 44133 Ernestine, how do you keep from forgetting?"
44133	Fannie''s father?
44133	Have I been selfish? 44133 How could people do their duty, if they never knew what it was going to be?"
44133	How did you know I was fond of lilies of the valley, Miss Benton?
44133	How do you feel now, mamma?
44133	How do you know?
44133	How many canes and walking- sticks has he, Aunt Kitty?
44133	I ca n''t go and apologize to someone for making fun of her as soon as her back is turned, can I? 44133 Independence Bell,"and"The Blue and the Gray"--for what patriotic celebration would be complete without these?
44133	Is n''t it singular?
44133	Is there any nearer duty, Winnie?
44133	Mamma,asked Ernestine Alroy,"may I ask the girls to have their next meeting here and take tea with us?"
44133	May n''t I go with you, mamma?
44133	Mother dear, what is it?
44133	Oh, Gretta, who is going to scold you? 44133 Oh, who cares for marks anyhow?
44133	Selfish? 44133 She ca n''t have much to leave to anybody; and, if she had, Ernestine would be the only one to get it, would n''t she?
44133	She has eyes, has n''t she?
44133	We were all to have a text or a verse to- night, were n''t we?
44133	Well, my dear,said Mr. Burton to his wife, as they rose from the table,"anything on the carpet for to- night?"
44133	Well, what do you say to my taking all of you, the whole company of warriors, to Mammoth Cave?
44133	Well,she said impatiently,"what are you and your philanthropy going to do about it?"
44133	What did she do?
44133	What have you, Ernestine?
44133	What is it, Win?
44133	What is my worst one?
44133	What is the matter, mamma?
44133	What is this, Miss Benton?
44133	What is your bugaboo, Fannie?
44133	Whatever can she want of him? 44133 Whatever do you mean?"
44133	Whatever is the matter?
44133	Where is the teacher?
44133	Why do n''t you apologize?
44133	Why do n''t you write to them?
44133	Why is it like a bear?
44133	Why is it like a book?
44133	Why is it like a cream- puff?
44133	Why is it like a flower?
44133	Why is it like a novel?
44133	Why is it like a ring?
44133	Why is it like an egg?
44133	Why is it like cheese?
44133	Why is it like me?
44133	Why is it like music?
44133	Why is it like the grass?
44133	Why is it like the sky?
44133	Why, he''s my baby,said grandma;"you would n''t have me scold my baby, would you?"
44133	Yes, is n''t it? 44133 And yet-- how would I know where they were sitting if I were blind, too?
44133	But how is it that you have all this to do to- night?
44133	But she is as frail as a reed, and her body, in spite of her will power, will break down under the pressure, and then----""Well?"
44133	But to change the subject, would you young giant- killers like to hear a story that I have written for you?"
44133	But was he conquered?
44133	But what would Ernestine do if her mother should die?
44133	But who are these descending the heretofore unscaled cliff?
44133	Come up to my room, Winnie, and stay awhile, ca n''t you?"
44133	Do n''t I look limp?"
44133	Do we not know how the Savior turned away from the chosen way to heal the sick or comfort the afflicted?
44133	Finally he said:"Excuse me, Mrs. Alroy, but may I ask what was your maiden name?"
44133	Going to have a good time?
44133	He read her thought well enough, but unhesitatingly continued:"The Van Ortons of New York?"
44133	Her mother returned the embrace, holding her close for a moment, and then she said gently:"Have you your lessons for Monday, dear?"
44133	How are we to do this, when we never know what is going to happen from one day to another?
44133	How can people have refinements without comforts?"
44133	How can we do that, if we do n''t say anything when one of us does wrong?
44133	How would it do to take the one Winnie brought?
44133	I thought that was just what we ought to do, is n''t it?"
44133	If she goes to the high- school next year, she''ll have more time to practice, wo n''t she?"
44133	Is I a bodder, mamma?"
44133	Is n''t that strange?
44133	Norah looked at her a minute, and then said:"So you want me to dress Ralph, do you?
44133	One of them( Fannie), in answer, declaims the resolution, and as she comments, in rather excited tones,"Glorious, mother, is n''t it?"
44133	S.?"
44133	Something is wrong, radically wrong,''--and here I made the gesture she always makes when she says''radically wrong,''and-- what do you think?
44133	Suppose we try it now?"
44133	The temptation was too great; and beside, she reasoned,"What difference can it possibly make whether I am at school or at the church?
44133	Then she quieted herself and said,"When, papa?"
44133	Then, seeing the well- known twinkle in his eyes, she perched herself on his knee and said,"Now, papa, what are you up to?"
44133	This morning I thought I was going to get my music lesson, and now how can I do that?"
44133	This reminded Ralph of the loss of his humming- top, and he said, quite loudly,"Do you sink, papa, that little boy lost his birfday, too?"
44133	Was the evening too much for you?"
44133	What other sound is that which rises above the roar of the wind and fills one''s soul with terror?
44133	What shall the owner do to redeem it?"
44133	What shall the owner do to redeem it?"
44133	What time is it?"
44133	When now would she have time to learn those lessons?
44133	When the latter rejoined her, she said with some irritation,"However could you touch those horrid, dirty clothes or go near that dirty child?"
44133	When they had finished the last stanza, Winnie said,"Aunt Kitty, wo n''t you and Uncle Fred sing''Juanita''for us?
44133	When they went home to supper, however, and Mr. Burton asked:"Well, my little man, what have you done with your birthday?"
44133	Who all are to be invited?"
44133	Who would take care of her?
44133	With England than to be spending her time tending sheep?
44133	You are not in a hurry?"
44133	You will stay here awhile?"
44133	asked Winnie;"and where are papa and Jack?"
44133	or"Did you prove that?"
44133	said Miriam;"or do n''t you have any?"
44133	said she,"what do we care for giants?
5317	I wonder if I may poison it?
5317	Is there any small vow of which I may relieve you?
5317	Would you desire to attempt some small deed of arms upon me?
5317	A long digression, is it not?
5317	And Stevenson?
5317	And now whom?
5317	And then to play a fish a hundred tons in weight, and worth two thousand pounds-- but what in the world has all this to do with my bookcase?
5317	And this strange, powerful style, how is it to be described?
5317	And what have we in literature to show for it all?
5317	And who else?
5317	And yet, when all is said, who can doubt that the austere and dreadful American is far the greater and more original mind of the two?
5317	Ay, why not?
5317	But get past all that to a crisis in the real story, and who finds the terse phrase, the short fire- word, so surely as he?
5317	But here are some of the enemy in a barn?
5317	But how about Richardson and Fielding?
5317	But how about the second best?
5317	But how shall I name them all?
5317	But must these sides of life be absolutely excluded?
5317	But which are we to choose from that long and varied collection, many of which have claims to the highest?
5317	But who knows what other injuries had been inflicted to draw forth such a retaliation?
5317	By the way, talking of Napoleon''s flight from Egypt, did you ever see a curious little book called, if I remember right,"Intercepted Letters"?
5317	By the way, talking of history, have you read Parkman''s works?
5317	Could anything be more laudable-- or less lovable?
5317	Did ever any single man, the very dullest of the race, stand convicted of so many incredible blunders?
5317	Do you recollect the third chapter of that work-- the one which reconstructs the England of the seventeenth century?
5317	Do you remember the fatuous criticism of Matthew Arnold upon the glorious"Lays,"where he calls out"is this poetry?"
5317	Do you want the confessions of a rake of the period?
5317	Do you want the view of a woman of quality?
5317	Does any one ever know a man so well as his doctor?
5317	Doing right is God''s"; or,"All great thoughts come from the heart"?
5317	For, after all, which of those writings can be said to have any life to- day?
5317	Has any man ever left a finer monument behind him?
5317	Has life become so serious that song has passed out of it?
5317	Have you read Maupassant''s story called"Le Horla"?
5317	He was prolix, it may be admitted, but who could bear to have him cut?
5317	How could a Tory patriot, whose whole training had been to look upon Napoleon as a malignant Demon, do justice to such a theme?
5317	How could one talk on equal terms with a man who could not brook contradiction or even argument upon the most vital questions in life?
5317	How is this, for example, if you have an ear for the music of prose?
5317	How many go through the world without ever loving at all?
5317	Hundreds have been still- born in this fashion, and are there none which should have lived among them?
5317	I fear I may misquote, for I have not"The Ancient Mariner"at my elbow, but even as it stands does it not elevate the horse- trough?
5317	I wonder if Scott had ever seen the original which hangs at the Hepburn family seat?
5317	I wonder if there is any picture extant of Gibbon in the character of subaltern in the South Hampshire Militia?
5317	If Boswell had not lived I wonder how much we should hear now of his huge friend?
5317	Is Stevenson a classic?
5317	Is it possible that here we have some trace of the vanished Germans?
5317	Is it possible that we are indeed but conduit pipes from the infinite reservoir of the unknown?
5317	Is it that the higher emotions are not there?
5317	Is there any profession in the world which in proportion to its numbers could show such losses as that?
5317	Is there not a sense of austere dignity?
5317	Now you see that whole row of books which takes you at one sweep nearly across the shelf?
5317	Or is it a Danish name?
5317	Or is it amusement that he lacks?
5317	Or is it that they are damped down and covered over as too precious to be exhibited?
5317	Ready for yet another?
5317	Surely he shall have two places also, for where is a finer sense of what the short story can do?
5317	Talking of weird American stories, have you ever read any of the works of Ambrose Bierce?
5317	The others?
5317	There may be a score of mistakes in what I have said-- is it not the privilege of the conversationalist to misquote?
5317	This is all very well, but in that case how about the century of abuse which has been showered upon the historian?
5317	Three times as long as an ordinary book, no doubt, but why grudge the time?
5317	Was ever a more despicable action?
5317	Was ever anything in the world''s history like it?
5317	Was his name Welsh?
5317	Was it an effort to leave some memorial of his own existence to single him out from all the countless sons of men?
5317	Was not he himself a danger to every throne in Europe?
5317	Was there ever a British war of which the same might not have been written?
5317	Well, I ask nothing better, for there is no volume there which is not a dear, personal friend, and what can a man talk of more pleasantly than that?
5317	Well, now, if you had to choose your team whom would you put in?
5317	Were they exterminated by the negroes, or did they amalgamate with them?
5317	What about that?"
5317	What are the points by which you judge them?
5317	What could be more vivid than the effect produced by such sentences as these?
5317	What could be the attraction of an existence where eight hours of every day were spent groaning in a chair, and sixteen wheezing in a bed?
5317	What could it have been?
5317	What could the Elizabethan mariners have done more?
5317	What is the hurry?
5317	What matter that no Templar was allowed by the rules of his Order to take part in so secular and frivolous an affair as a tournament?
5317	What must have been his feelings when he read that letter?
5317	What national change is it which has driven music from the land?
5317	What richest imagination could ever evolve anything more marvellous and thrilling than the actual historical facts?
5317	What then?
5317	What was it that stood in the way of the book''s success?
5317	What was it which gave it such distinction?
5317	What, not wearied?
5317	Whence came the intense glowing imagination of the Brontes-- so unlike the Miss- Austen- like calm of their predecessors?
5317	Whence came the wonderful face and great personality of Henry Irving?
5317	Where did he get that remarkable face, those strange mental gifts, which place him by himself in literature?
5317	Where do they turn up?
5317	Where in the language can you find a stronger, more condensed and more restrained narrative?
5317	Where, in his heroes, is there one touch of distinction, of spirituality, of nobility?
5317	Which are the great short stories of the English language?
5317	Whither did they carry those blue eyes and that flaxen hair?
5317	Who can help pitying the mewed eagle?
5317	Who cares for critics after that?
5317	Who guessed it of Poe, and who of Borrow?
5317	Who would have imagined that the wise savant and gentle dreamer of these volumes was also the energetic secretary of a railway company?
5317	Why must you?
5317	Why not?"
5317	Why should Borrow snarl so churlishly at Scott?
5317	Why so harsh a retreat as St. Helena, you say?
5317	Why was it that they did not people it thickly?
5317	With the mind so crammed with other people''s goods, how can you have room for any fresh manufactures of your own?
5317	Would Goldsmith defend his literary views, or Burke his Whiggism, or Gibbon his Deism?
5317	Would you care to hear me talk of them?
5317	You do n''t see it, you say?
5317	You see the line of old, brown volumes at the bottom?
5317	after quoting--"And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds For the ashes of his fathers And the Temples of his Gods?"
5317	and the''What then, sir?''
5317	shall I name thee last?
48800	A certain Country Squire asked a Merry Andrew why he played the fool? 48800 Father, said_ Josian_ where is_ Bevis_?
48800	His name is Sir John Barleycorn, Who makes both beer and bread, What would do all that now are born, If Barleycorn was dead? 48800 One Irishman meeting another, asked, what was become of their old acquaintance Patrick Murphy?
48800	One asked his friend, why he, being such a proper man himself, had married so small a wife? 48800 *A gentleman who had been a shooting brought home a small bird with him, and having an Irish servant, he asked him if he had shot that little bird?
48800	A Courtier coming by, asked what it was they sought for, and why they were sorrowful?
48800	A few steps farther I espied a great number almost hid with smoke; and I asked who they were?
48800	A little boy coming by at the time-- Who made you, child?
48800	A little farther the Spirit opened a cellar door, from which issued a smoke almost enough to choak me, with a dismal noise; I asked what they were?
48800	A mule, said one of them, how can that be?
48800	After a tedious journey, being in sight of the desired city, she demanded why they looked sad?
48800	An error, or variant, for''soliloquy''?
48800	And the Tinker being a very sturdy fellow, bid him go look, what was that to him?
48800	Are you content with these conditions?
48800	Are you so careless of your life that you care not what you do?
48800	As for alms deed, what should they do to give that have nothing to take?
48800	At the hour appointed he came into his chamber, demanding what he would have?
48800	Being come to myself I asked Mephistopholes in what place Hell was?
48800	Can your ambitious thoughts become so vain, To think that you shall o''er your brethren reign?
48800	Could Jack resist this charming adventure?
48800	Could you not be contented with the wine, But steal the Cup in which he does divine?
48800	Dost thou not see how many heads hang on yonder tree, that have offended my laws?
48800	For if I once should yield to throw''t away} On such a wretch.--O think what you would say?}
48800	From whence came you?
48800	Hast thou this servant hither brought that he Might make a mock upon my chastity?
48800	Having passed by them, he came to a long entry exceeding dark, where was a great crowd: I asked what they were?
48800	He asked where her father was?
48800	He rode into Damas, insulted the inhabitants by asking them,"What devil do you serve here?"
48800	He was no sooner got in, but the Huntsmen were at his heels, and asked the cottager, If he did not see the Fox that way?
48800	He was taken home; but his wounds were too bad, and he died, and was taken again to Fairy Land, and did not reappear on earth till Thunston''s(?)
48800	How are we sure his death we shall conceal?
48800	How comes this fellow here?
48800	How much money hast thou?
48800	How often do you go to prayers now?
48800	How then, answered the lady, could the stays be wet if you took them into the coach with you?
48800	I am Joseph:--Is my father alive?
48800	I dare say, said the parson, You do n''t know who made you?
48800	I have no book about me, said she, but will you swear on my smock tail?
48800	If a parent lies sick, the son goes to enquire of the Oracle whether they are for life or death?
48800	Mr. Sorrel, says Jack, shall we play at Blind Man''s Buff?
48800	No said Tom, my mother did not teach me such wit; who is fool then?
48800	Or that we unto you shall tribute pay, And at your feet our servile necks should lay?
48800	Phillis perceiving this sudden alteration enquires of her Lord what was the cause of this Passion?
48800	She asked what country he was of?
48800	She, coming in, asked what was the matter?
48800	Sirrah, said he, who gave you authority to come this way?
48800	So Tom asked the Tinker from whence he came and whither he was going?
48800	So coming in one day and seeing her melancholy, asked what ailed her?
48800	So when they came and the goose was set before them, What is this?
48800	The Earl asked him how he got so much money?
48800	The King asked him why he stayed so long and how he came in that condition?
48800	The King then turning to Grimbard, said, Your Uncle hath prayed and fasted well, hath he not?
48800	The man asked where he lived?
48800	The men desiring to know who it was had so lustily be- swinged them, said, To alleviate our sorrow pray tell us your name?
48800	The priest could not tell what to say, but answered, what shall I do with this fool?
48800	The two illustrations, one taken from a Chap- book published at Newcastle( 1770?
48800	Then said the King, How durst he do this?
48800	Then yours arose, which round about were laid,} And unto mine a low obeisance made,} Is this your dream, his brethren said?}
48800	They all at fervent prayers were, At length this sailor, I declare, Did speak to her, and thus did say, What ails thy troubled spirit pray?
48800	They asked Jack how it was?
48800	They said, Why thou knave, could you not be content to mock us at home but art come here to mock us?
48800	This dream young Joseph to his father told, Who when he heard it, thinking him too bold, Rebuk''d him thus: What dream is this I hear?
48800	What a pox do you make such a noise for, do you think one ca n''t hear?
48800	What tho''he''s one come from the Hebrew Stock, Shall he thus at my virtue make a mock?
48800	What wages do you ask?
48800	What, said Tom, are you got drunk with my small beer already?
48800	When Jacob saw them, who are these said he?
48800	Where did you leave the trevit?
48800	Where do you lie to night said Tom?
48800	Why look you thus, as if you was afraid?
48800	Why, who should bring them?
48800	[ 17] So her mistress demanded what was her name; Margaret, forsooth, said she briskly-- And what work can you do?
48800	and do you submit quietly to the alteration?
48800	do you like it?
48800	is this a bare heed?
48800	know you not his quality is to lie and steal?
48800	quoth Bruin do you make so light of honey combs, which is meat for the Emperor?

48800	said the other, which way will you bring them home?
48800	the Devil came and said, Where are you going, pretty Maid?
48800	what a grand city was this?
48800	which they all denied; and he went to the ladies and gentlemen, and enquired of them if they knew any thing of his departure?
38873	''Must a name mean something?'' 38873 ''Pray, where is the Levant?''
38873	''Well, Rollo,''said Dorothy,''shall I tell you a true story, or one that is not true?'' 38873 Are you sure they are the same?"
38873	But are you aware that the Bonnie Dundee is the same man whom you have just been denouncing under the name of Graham of Claverhouse?
38873	But is it true?
38873	But what if there is n''t any king to speak of?
38873	But,says the Severe Moralist,"do n''t you frequently discover that these persons are vain?"
38873	Charles lied, and that made the people mad?
38873	Doth not Wisdom cry, And understanding put forth her voice? 38873 How did he get off?"
38873	I thought so too,--but what''s politics where the affections are enlisted? 38873 If what I have taken for granted be true,"says the chairman,"do not all the fine things I have been telling you about follow necessarily?"
38873	Is it honest in deed and word? 38873 What are your arguments?"
38873	What has Horace Walpole done except to give us a picture of his own disposition and incidentally of the world he lived in? 38873 What is behind it?"
38873	What is the meaning of this passage?
38873	What shall it be?
38873	What story?
38873	What, you here?
38873	Who ever heard of a historian allowing himself to sympathize? 38873 ''Who said that it should be probable?'' 38873 After it once had been generally accepted, what could Hercules do? 38873 Ah, why, indeed? 38873 And Mr. Great Heart said:Do you hear him?
38873	And as for the real Napoleon, what was the magic by which he was able to call such phantasms from the vasty deep?
38873	And find thyself again without a charm?
38873	And might we not expect a"dude"to fall into immoderate laughter at the sight of a"popinjay"?
38873	And what of Satan?
38873	And why glorious, my young friend?"
38873	And why, my young friend?"
38873	Are you a Roundhead or a Cavalier?
38873	Are you a beast of the field?
38873	Are you a fish of the river?
38873	Are your sympathies with the Whigs or the Tories?"
38873	As for giving up an author just because the judgment of the critic is against him, who ever heard of such a thing?
38873	Be Yarrow''s stream unseen, unknown, It must, or we shall rue it, We have a vision of our own, Ah, why should we undo it?"
38873	Because I have not crossed the Rubicon of the second chapter, will you say that the book has not influenced me?
38873	But are there no Christian virtues to be cultivated?
38873	But did you ever know Experience to teach anything to a person whose ideas had set up an independent government of their own?
38873	But does he expect to be taken at his word and to live miserably ever after?
38873	But have you considered the nature of the emulation belonging to those of tender years which you would come in competition with?"
38873	But may one not have a real interest in persons and things which is free from inquisitiveness?
38873	But the question which arouses my curiosity is, How did it occur to any one that there should be a history of fans?

38873	Did history keep on repeating itself, or did literary men keep on repeating each other?
38873	Do I therefore inquire their names, and intrusively seek to know what books they have written, before I admire their scholarship?
38873	Do n''t you hear those wild war notes?"
38873	Do you think these dissertations a waste of time?

38873	I take for granted-- as you appear to be a sensible man-- that you are a Whig?"

38873	In Windsor Park Mrs. Ford whispers,"Where is Nan now and her troop of fairies, and that Welsh devil Sir Hugh?"
38873	In its ostensible plot"Paradise Lost"is a tragedy; but did Milton really feel it to be so?
38873	Is it a true thing?"
38873	Is it any wonder that, with such an introduction, I became interested?
38873	My memory goes back to the time when a disconsolate little boy sat on a bench in a Sunday- school and asked himself,"What is a Girgashite?"
38873	No wonder that the disciples of the older time cry:--"What hope for the fine- nerved humanities That made earth gracious once with gentler arts?"
38873	Not at all; if that were so,"what are we here for?"
38873	Nothing can be more disconcerting to his sensitive spirit; and besides, how can you know that he has not a very serious message to communicate?
38873	Now and then, indeed, Nature in a fit of prodigality endows one person with both gifts.--Was not Oliver Wendell Holmes a Professor of Anatomy?
38873	Or had it been that he had brought the wisdom from his own meditation and deposited it at this shrine?
38873	Or would''st thou in a moment laugh and weep?
38873	Perhaps not; but when the Napoleonic legend has been banished, what about the Napoleonic wars?

38873	The men who have done valiant service are not all smooth- spoken gentlemen in black coats-- but what of it?
38873	The peasants who followed Wat Tyler sang,--"When Adam delved and Eve span Who was then the gentleman?"
38873	The poet is the enchanter, and we are the willing victims of his spells:--"Would''st thou see A man i''th''clouds and hear him speak to thee?
38873	Then the Gentle Reader turns to his old and much criticised friend Macaulay, and asks,--"What do you think about it?"
38873	There it stands in all its shameless actuality asking,"What do you make of me?"
38873	To whose sphere of influence does he belong?
38873	Was Don Quixote as completely mistaken as he seemed?
38873	Was ever poetical justice done with more placidity and completeness than in the prison scene?

38873	Who were the Memphian Chivalry?"
38873	Why did they cut off the head of Charles I., and why did they drive out James II.?
38873	Why not try, remembering, of course, to continue the same breathings,"I am Andrew Carnegie?"
38873	Why not?
38873	Why should I destroy twenty exciting possibilities for the sake of a single discovery?
38873	Why should n''t he-- like the rest of us?
38873	Why should they spend valuable time in trying to unravel the meaning of lines which were invented to baffle them?
38873	Why should we be confounded with our coevals?
38873	Why should we be too curious in regard to such matters?
38873	Why should we toil on as if we were walking for a wager?
38873	Why was that?
38873	Why waste time on idle dreams?
38873	Would''st thou be in a dream and yet not sleep?
38873	Wouldest thou lose thyself and catch no harm?
38873	Yet is not Quixote himself more careful to avoid all appearance of extravagance?

5957	No,says the artist(?
5957	Nobody knows what the dog did?
5957	Now, how could a fish, a live fish, get into my front yard?
5957	Now, what do you suppose the dog did?
5957	Of course I''ll say it; why should I not say it? 5957 Oh, why,"said the little boy,"does she not get on?"
5957	Shall I sing for the Emperor again?
5957	Tell me, how many have passed already?

5957	What would you do if you saw a little kitten like that?
5957	Where have you been?
5957	Where?
5957	Who are these sitting at the round table?
5957	Who are they?
5957	Why did you go so near the edge of the brink?
5957	Why did you refuse it?
5957	You saw it?
5957	A crown for his head, or a laurel wreath?
5957	A sword to wield, or is gold his load?
5957	A very earnest young student came to me once after the telling of this story and said in an awe- struck voice:"Do you cor- relate?"

5957	But loud laughed he in the morning red!-- For of what had the robbers robbed him?
5957	But what is it I have to stop?"

5957	Do n''t I give you board and wages?"
5957	Do you remember where you cut that stick?"

5957	Is not this a good law: an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth?
5957	Is not_ one_ of the reasons that children reject fairy tales this, that such very_ poor_ material is offered them?
5957	Is there something stronger in the world than a King?"
5957	Now, cats do n''t like water, do they?
5957	Now, it was really very bold on his part to say to a King''s daughter:"Will you marry me?"
5957	Now, of what artifices can we make use to take the place of all the extraneous help offered to actors on the stage?
5957	Now, what else do you think I saw?"
5957	Now, what is the impression we wish to leave on the mind of the child, apart from the dramatic joy and interest we have endeavored to provide?

5957	QUESTION XI:_ What is the educational value of humor in the stories told to our children_?
5957	Shakespeare has said: Tell me where is Fancy bred, Or in the heart, or in the head?
5957	She opens thus:"Yesterday, children, as I came out of my yard, what do you think I saw?"

5957	Then Christopher said to him,"Thou doubtest the devil that he hurt thee not?
5957	Then said he:"Sturla the Icelander, will you tell stories?"
5957	Then, again, why are we in such a hurry to find out what effects have been produced by our stories?
5957	There is just time during that instant''s pause to_ feel_, though not to_ formulate, the question:"What is standing at the door?"
5957	What do they like?"
5957	What do you think about it?"
5957	What for his scrip on the winding road?
5957	What for the journey through day and night?
5957	What is the meaning of this?"

5957	Who will listen to my stories?''

5957	asked the sorcerer;"will you come in with me?"
5957	or pinch your hand?

15432	A castle?

15432	And-- did you walk? 15432 Ay, Janet,"he answered;"but where is yours?"
15432	Believed in what, my friend?
15432	But Atheist,I said,"_ that_ acid little man, did he indeed walk there alone?"
15432	But at day, what then?
15432	But how then do strangers find their way across the moor?
15432	But is she very thirsty?

15432	Did I hear Mr. Rochester''s step by the window?
15432	For what but idle questions?
15432	For what?
15432	For what?
15432	Houyhnhnms?
15432	How comes any man so softly?
15432	How else can mother see how I am lost?

15432	She who was every wind''s, or but one perfect summer''s?
15432	Surely,I said,"that is not the way Christian took?"
15432	Was the gate bolted, then?
15432	Was the tide quite high when you began?
15432	Well, one thing Christian had, and none can deny it,said Pliable, a little hotly,"and that was Imagination?

15432	What kind of dream was it in then?
15432	What looking man was he?
15432	What then is left of me?
15432	What, then, is to change,... to be fickle?

15432	You know all their names then?
15432	You like it, sir? 15432 You were vain,"I answered,"because--""Well?"
15432	_ Is_ there anywhere else?
15432	''Tis not the dangers, but to me the endless restlessness of such a venture-- that''Oh, where shall wisdom be found?''...
15432	''Why, sir, do you sigh to see the king?''
15432	''tis my silence Shows thee false, Should I be silent else?
15432	And as he read he wept and trembled; and not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry, saying,"What shall I do?"...
15432	And the strange thought entered my mind, Was he in very deed the incarnation of this solitude, this silence, this lawless abundance?
15432	And what is your name?"
15432	And whither next will fate entice you, to what new sorrows?"
15432	And whose is the heart quite hardened against a simple admiration?
15432	Are there yet in the country whence you come the breadless bellies, the sores and rags and lamentations of the poor?
15432	Are we not all between Fortune''s finger and thumb?"

15432	How could I abash that kindly vanity of his by adding also that, however famous, he must needs be to all eternity-- nameless?
15432	How could I know what eyes might not be regarding me from bowers as thick and secluded as these?
15432	How else could they recognise and learn again-- how else forget?
15432	How then could I else than bob for cherries as often as I dared, and prove my wit to conceal my hunger?
15432	How, then, could I even so much as hint to enquire which century indeed was his, who had no need of any?
15432	I said presently--"Macbeth...?"
15432	I would give white and red, nectar and snow and roses, and all the similes that ever were for--""For what?"
15432	I_ Oh, what land is the Land of Dream?_--WILLIAM BLAKE.

15432	Nor you?"
15432	One Draught, one Feast, One Wench, one Tomb; And thou must straight To ashes come: Drink, eat, and sleep; Why fret and pine?
15432	Reverie, then-- how many years ago!--there was a child we loved, all three: do you remember?
15432	She turned an arch face to me:"And what is to be faithful?"
15432	Somewhere, in the green heats of summer, had he come forth, taken shape, exalted himself?
15432	Tell me, now, is the world yet harsh with men and sad with women?
15432	The fluttering of the dying flames, the starry darkness, silence itself; what were we who sat together?
15432	To these same watery steps of stone, to this same mooring- ring surely I had voyaged before in dream or other life?
15432	V_ How should I your true love know From another one?_--WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE.
15432	Was it indeed only wind in the reeds that sighed around us?
15432	Was it not so, neighbour Obstinate?"
15432	Were their eyes blue, or hazel, or brown?
15432	What are we else than beasts?--beasts that perish?
15432	What but the swarming mysteries of these thick woods lurked in his brain?
15432	What but vegetable ichor coursed through veins transparent as his?
15432	What fate was this that had set her to such profitless labour on the uttermost shores of"Tragedy"?
15432	What gladness too high for earth had nearly once been hers?
15432	What history lay behind, past, or, as it were, never to come?
15432	What is man but as grass, and the flower of grass?
15432	What keeps you here?"
15432	What less, thought I, than power unearthly could long maintain that stern, impassable barrier of green vacancy between their hoofs and him?
15432	What more would you have?"
15432	What of Love- the- log Faithful?"
15432	What omen was this, then, that I should meet first a phantom on my journey?
15432	What wonder they were many?
15432	Whence comes that angel out of nought whispering into the ear strange syllables?
15432	Where floats your babe''s- hand now, Dame Lovepip?"
15432	Where then''s your aquiline steed, sir?
15432	Whither doth it conduct a man, but to beggary, infamy, and the mad- house?
15432	Who can escape?
15432	Who of all Time''s children could this be playing uncompanioned by the sea?
15432	Who, then, will bear for a moment with an ignorant, pacific adventurer, without even a gun?
15432	Whom would_ you_ seek, did a traveller direct you, and a boat were at your need?"
15432	Why try in vain?"
15432	Why, then, doth he envy us our wealth, our success, our gaiety, our content?
15432	Why, too, should I mistrust the bounty of the present merely for the scarcity of the past?
15432	Will it amaze you to learn, my friends, that Christian is like to be immortal only because you_ talk_ him out of the grave?
15432	Will you not pause?--stay with us a few days to consider again this rash journey?
15432	Will you please walk on a few steps till you come to a stone seat?
15432	Wore Julia azure, and Electra white?
15432	Yet bonds are life to me; How else could I perceive The love in each wild artery That bids me live?
15432	Yet who finds much amiss with the fox at last, though all he seems to have be cunning?
15432	Yet who, thought I, could be else than beautiful with eyes that seemed to hide in fleeting cloud a flame as pure as amber?
15432	You yourselves, did you ever meet with him?"
15432	_ How_ many rickety children did he leave behind him?"
15432	_ I_ sha n''t forget the tales he was wo nt to tell: what say you, Superstition?"
15432	and he who considers his brother''s boldness-- that one is Death?"
15432	and why, may I ask, do his neighbours slander the dead?
15432	are we forgot?"
15432	for what?"
15432	he cried softly to his hounds;"is this your civility?
15432	now,"I said, almost involuntarily"the golden boy who has caught my horse''s bridle in his hand, is not he Sleep?
15432	only of darkness were these forbidding shadows?
15432	only the restless water insistently whispering and calling?
15432	or truly does the puny, busy- tongued race sleep at last, nodding no more at me?"
15432	or, haply, were Dianeme''s that incomparable, dark, sparkling grey?
15432	said I,"how else?"
15432	said I--"''to be faithful?''"
15432	she exclaimed softly...."And I really believe too_ I_ must be the honey-- or is it Mr. Rochester?
15432	she said,"or did you read between?"
15432	so stubborn, so wilful, so demented, so-- vain?"
15432	what can save me?
15432	who could wish to one so dear a destiny so dark?"
15432	who would forget?
16579	''And is that all the method?
16579	''Can he quote any parallel allusion in Byron?''
16579	''Conscious''?-- yes, but of what?
16579	''Doth Job fear God for nought?
16579	''Have we yet aught else to pray for, Phaedrus?
16579	''Is free verse a true poetic form?''
16579	''Of what use now is this great building?''
16579	''Should we not, before going, offer up a prayer to these local deities?''
16579	''So simple as that?
16579	''What does he know of"Blackwood''s Magazine?"''
16579	''What is it, and why is it_ it_?
16579	''Yes,''I hear you ingeminate;''but what about Examinations?
16579	( c) We come to the lines What little town by river or sea shore, Or mountain- built with peaceful citadel, Is emptied of this folk, this pious morn?
16579	-- or in other words''Where are the trousers of the drowned?''
16579	--It was worth repeating too-- was it not?
16579	Also why should the Best Books be 100 in number, rather than 99 or 199?
16579	And under what conditions is a book a Best Book?
16579	And when he has searched and contrived to` ask us,''are we responsive to the ecstacy?
16579	And where is the place Understanding hath chosen, since this is the case?...
16579	And where is the place of understanding?
16579	And where is the place of understanding?
16579	Anything more?
16579	Art not afraid so to desecrate the Lord''s Day with idle sport?
16579	Bac.''?
16579	But do you not feel that a man who is searching for a rhyme to Damascus has not really the time to cry''Abba, father''?
16579	But has ever a Parliamentary style been invented which conveys a nobler gravity of emotion?
16579	But how does it come?
16579	But how?
16579	But may we not, out of the East-- the slow, the stationary East-- fetch an instance more convincing?
16579	But what is it we imitate in poetry?-- noble things or mean things?
16579	But where real wisdom is found can he shew?
16579	But where shall wisdom be found?
16579	But, as Elizabeth Barrett Browning asked, Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers?
16579	Can not we study to leave our inheritance--- as the old Athenian put it temperately,''not worse but a little better than we found it''?
16579	Can not you trust it?
16579	Can such defect ever be so covered?
16579	Can we not hear him discussing it?
16579	Can we, at this time of day, do better by simply turning the notion out of doors?
16579	Can you improve it with the embellishments of rhyme and strict scansion?
16579	Can you not give them also, in their short years at school, something to sustain their souls in the long Valley of Humiliation?
16579	Certainly the men who wrote them were rapt above themselves: and, if not directly, Why indirectly, and how?''
16579	Did all Poetry develop out of this, historically, as a process in time and in fact?
16579	Did you ever hear of the donkey that went into the sea with the little cart?...
16579	Do you really want to chat about_ that_?
16579	Do you remember this passage in"The Pilgrim''s Progress"--as the pilgrims passed down that valley?
16579	Does the Ode go on to develop and amplify it, as an Ode should?
16579	Does this appear to you a bold thing to say of so tremendous an artist as Milton?
16579	Efficient for what?--for_ What Does, What Knows_ or perchance, after all, for_ What Is_?
16579	English Language?
16579	Expressive terms, no doubt!--but I ask with the poet Who can track A Grace''s naked foot amid them all?
16579	For the proof?
16579	For whom( wonders the young reader, spell- bound by this), for what happy bride and bridegroom was this glorious chant raised?
16579	Further, if we agree with Aristotle, in this searching to realise himself through imitation, what will the child most nobly and naturally imitate?
16579	Has he not-- if I may employ an Oriental trope for once-- let in the chill breath of cleverness upon the garden of beatitude?
16579	Hast thou not set a hedge about his prosperity?
16579	Have we done?
16579	He said,''What''s time?
16579	How can you examine on_ that_?
16579	How shall we sing the Lord''s song in a strange land?
16579	III But I shall be met, of course, by the question''How is the reading of English made impossible at Cambridge?''
16579	III, p. 159--"Puddlehampton, its Rise and Decline, with a note on Vespasian?"''
16579	IX Is there, then, no better way?
16579	If Longinus could treat this as sublime poetry, why can not we, who have translated and made it ours?
16579	If he do this, and the action of the Ode be dead and unprogressive, is the defect covered by beauty of language?
16579	If rhyme be allowed to that greatest of arts, if metre, is not rhythm above both for her service?
16579	Is Chaucer your author?
16579	Is all the great orchestra designed for nothing but to please its Conductor?
16579	Is not your own rapture interrupted by some wonder''How will he bring it off''?
16579	Is that not the accent of Isaiah?
16579	Is that poetry?
16579	Is this a fact to be ignored by any of you who would value''values''?
16579	May one whose time of life excuses perhaps a detachment from passion attempt to provide you with one?
16579	Now let us turn to the very first page of Aristotle''s"Poetics,"and what do we read?
16579	On what principle or principles?
16579	Or does Pegasus come down again and again on the prints from which he took off?
16579	Or of the Eternal coeternal beam May I express thee unblamed?
16579	Or the place understanding inhabiteth?
16579	Philosophy inclines rather to ask''How?''
16579	Quid aliud est anima quam Deus in corpore humano hospitans?
16579	Should we rather not pull down our barns, and build smaller, and make bonfires of what they would not hold?
16579	So let us confine ourselves to these, and to the question, How to use them?
16579	Surely-- for a start-- there is no such thing; or rather, may we not say that everything is, has been or can be, a subject of English Literature?
16579	Take the lines Why am I mock''d with death, and lengthen''d out To deathless pain?
16579	Tell me, what is your Tripos?''
16579	That, more or less, is what Paley did upon Euripides, and how would you like it if a modern Greek did it upon Shakespeare?
16579	Then how does Longinus conclude?
16579	Then why do n''t we choose?
16579	Theology asks''by What?''
16579	Things are better now: but in those times how many a boy, having long looked forward to it, rejoiced in his last day at school?
16579	Think you,''mid all this mighty sum Of things for ever speaking, That nothing of itself will come, But we must still be seeking?
16579	To that I might answer,''How do you_ know_ that direct inspiration ceased with the Revelation of St John the Divine, and closed the book?
16579	True to ordinary life, with its observed defeats of the right by the wrong?
16579	V Are we forbidden on the ground that our Bible is directly inspired?
16579	VII If you ask me How?
16579	VII Who, that has been a child, has not felt this surprise of beauty, the revelation, the call of it?
16579	Well and what then?
16579	Well, yes, you can request the candidate, to''Write a short note on the word_ calumny_ above,''or ask''From what is it derived?''
16579	Were God At fault for violins, thou absent?''
16579	What are weather and season to this incessant panorama of childhood?
16579	What can be the justifying reason for an embargo on the face of it so silly and arbitrary, if not senseless?
16579	What cold nymphs?
16579	What do I mean by''Value''?
16579	What follows?
16579	What has happened to merry Chaucer, rare Ben Jonson, gay Steele and Prior, to Goldsmith, Jane Austen, Charles Lamb?''
16579	What is the trouble?
16579	What secret force moved my desire To expect new joys beyond the seas, so young?
16579	What would the old schoolmasters plead in excuse?
16579	What?
16579	When he passes beyond these merely animal desires to what we may call the instinct of growth in his soul, how does he proceed?
16579	When will our educators see that what a child depends on is imagination, that what he demands of life is the wonderful, the glittering, possibility?
16579	Whence then cometh wisdom?
16579	Whence then cometh wisdom?
16579	Where hast thou been this Sabbath morning?
16579	Which do you prefer, Gentlemen?--''Life is real, life is earnest,''or''Now we have something to eat''?
16579	Who has not felt the small surcharged heart labouring with desire to express it?
16579	Who will deny that_ as a whole_ it can be made intelligible even to very young children by the simple process of reading it with them intelligently?
16579	Why is this done?
16579	Why linger?
16579	Why should we not study it in our English School, if only for purpose of comparison?
16579	Will_ ye_ contend for God?
16579	Will_ ye_ respect_ his_ person?
16579	You have to wait for another fifty odd lines before being quite sure that Shakespeare means Naiads( and''What are Naiads?''
16579	You will hardly contest the truth of that: but what does it mean?
16579	[ Footnote 1: Do you remember, by the by, Samuel Rogers''s lines on Lady Jane Grey?
16579	[ Footnote 1: Why had he to swear this under pain of excommunication, when the lecturer could so easily keep a roll- call?
16579	_ Abeunt studia in mores._ Moreover can we separate Chatham''s Roman morality from Chatham''s language in the passage I have just read?
16579	_ Must_ you tell them that for the Moon to hold a star anywhere within her circumference is an astronomical impossibility?
16579	or a''What about Bunyan?''
16579	or a''What about Burns?''
16579	or again Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?
16579	or again, more colloquially,''What did So- and- so"cut up"for?''
16579	or sometimes, more wisely than they know,''What did poor old So- and- so die worth?''
16579	or that the mysteries such a reading leaves unexplained are of the sort to fascinate a child''s mind and allure it?
16579	or true, as again instinct tells good men it should be,_ universally_?''
16579	or''by Whom?''
16579	shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?
16579	to send forth the infidel savage--- against whom?
16579	what can you do with_ that_?
16579	where you can be secure of communion with Apollo and the Nine?
11483	And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? 11483 Boiled?"

11483	A portrait of Ellen Terry on the wall had attracted his attention, and one of the first questions he asked was,"Do you ever go to the theatre?"
11483	AND REASON?"
11483	All of these, except"Novelty and Romancement,"have since been republished in"Rhyme?
11483	And afterwards I said to her elder sister"What made you say Barbara could n''t read?
11483	And how he got the bicycle?
11483	And when I opened the door, who do you think they were?
11483	And why not?
11483	And, now, what is the"thick end"of the wedge?
11483	And, please, what is_ Euclid_ to be doing all that time?
11483	Are they not hungering for bones; yea, panting for sulphuretted hydrogen?"
11483	At this the boy turned to his sister with an air of great relief, saying,"Do you hear_ that_, Mary?
11483	But after all, what does it signify?
11483	But alas, what are the means?
11483	But need it be so?
11483	But the_ perfect_ human form, free from these faults, is surely equally applicable to men, and fairies, and angels?
11483	But what of that?
11483	But when safe on terra firma His brother he did spy,"What_ did_ you do that for?"
11483	But wherefore all this mustering?
11483	But why fear a"thick end"at all?
11483	But why should I trouble you with foolish reminiscences of_ mine_ that_ can not_ interest you?
11483	CHAPTER VI( 1883- 1887)"The Profits of Authorship"--"Rhyme?
11483	Could you live happy with such a name?
11483	Did you ever hear of any one being so tired as_ that?_..._ November_ 7, 1882.
11483	Did you ever see the Rhinoceros, and the Hippopotamus, at the Zoölogical Gardens, trying to dance a minuet together?
11483	Do n''t you think so?"
11483	Do they let you say"awfully"?
11483	Do they still go up and down Finborough Road, and teach the cats to be kind to mice?
11483	Do we blame the wanton schoolboy, with a pebble in his hand, all powerless to resist the alluring vastness of a barndoor?
11483	Do you know, ever since that night they first came, they have_ never left me?_ Is n''t it kind of them?
11483	Do you know, ever since that night they first came, they have_ never left me?_ Is n''t it kind of them?
11483	Do you think that arises from their having"position,"which they feel might be compromised by such conduct?
11483	Do you think that it''s in the lips?"
11483	First, what sum shall we ask for the whole?
11483	For what else is the assumption underlying this anxious urging- on of organisations for teaching?
11483	Ham with your eggs?
11483	Has Natural Science shown any such tendency, or given any reason to fear that such a concession would lead to further demands?
11483	Have you also got"The Hunting of the Snark"?
11483	Have you succeeded in drawing the three squares?"
11483	How are Arthur, and Amy, and Emily?
11483	How can I sit all alone on those wooden steps?
11483	How can I walk on the beach alone?
11483	How did you like it?
11483	How do you pronounce your surname?
11483	How far from a point is the"next"point?
11483	How long can you wait for me to get some?"
11483	How many can he force B to use?
11483	How many did he make them out to be?
11483	How many instances of this kind would you demand to prove that he did come to an untimely end?
11483	How may we see in them all that is to be seen in them by the finest senses?
11483	How would you draw King Arthur when he first met Guinevere?
11483	How would you receive him?
11483	I could not help saying to the child next me--"That was like the Whiting, was n''t it?"
11483	I do n''t believe he ever saw you, and you''re not a bad one, are you?
11483	I hope your little daughter, of whose arrival Mrs. Eschwege told me in December, 1893, has been behaving well?
11483	I mean, what''s the good of little girls, when they send such heavy letters?"
11483	I pluck in remorse My hands from my pockets and wring''em: Oh, why did not I, dear, as a matter of course, Ere I purchas''d thee purchase a gingham?
11483	I said,"Do you remember when we all met at Sandown?"
11483	I sometimes wish I was back on the shore at Sandown; do n''t you?
11483	I thought of railway travelling, and ventured to ask how he got from London to Oxford?
11483	I trust it reached you safely?
11483	I will drink your health, if only I can remember, and if you do n''t mind-- but perhaps you object?
11483	I wonder if you saw him?
11483	I wonder if you will ever get as far as Jersey?
11483	I''m to divide the kisses myself, am I?
11483	If it is less, the next question is,_ How much less?_ These are serious questions, and you must be as serious as a judge in answering them.
11483	If not, how_ are_ we to meet?
11483	If so, may I call?
11483	If you can do"Doublets,"with how many links do you turn KATH into LEEN?

11483	Is it not as high a form of education as any other?
11483	Is it possible that one so gentle in manner, so full of noble sentiments, can be hardhearted?
11483	Is it possible that that bank director, with his broad honest face, can be meditating a fraud?

11483	Is she sorry, or disappointed?
11483	Is this latter usually possible?

11483	May I trust that you will give your immediate attention to this most important subject?
11483	May we, then, regard the practice of vivisection as a legitimate fruit, or as an abnormal development, of this higher moral character?
11483	My Dear Stuart,--(Rather a large note- sheet, is n''t it?
11483	My dear Ada,--(Isn''t that your short name?
11483	My dear Gaynor,--So you would like to know the answer to that riddle?
11483	My only excuse is, that I know no other; and how_ am_ I to guess what the full name is?
11483	On August 31st he wrote, in a letter to a friend, Miss Mary Brown:"And now what am I to tell you about myself?
11483	Or have the years( untouched by charms), With joy and sorrow laden, Rolled by, and brought unto thy arms A dainty little maiden?
11483	Perhaps that is what you mean-- that the Artist can imagine, and design, more perfect forms than we ever find in life?
11483	Replete with thee, e''en hideous night grows fair: Then what would sweet morn be, if thou wert there?
11483	Secondly, how shall we apportion that sum between the two kinds of wine?
11483	Shall I put"Rachel Manners"in the book?
11483	Shall we blame him?
11483	Some higher and more glorious state?
11483	Some might say,"Why not write_ at once?
11483	Suppose that the monkey begins to climb the rope, what will be the result?
11483	That flecks the green meadow with sunshine and shadow, Till the little lambs leap with delight?
11483	That my wine merchant, so outspoken, so confiding, can be supplying me with an adulterated article?
11483	That the chairman of that meeting of shareholders, whose every tone has the ring of truth in it, can hold in his hand a"cooked"schedule of accounts?
11483	That the schoolmaster, to whom I have entrusted my little boy, can starve or neglect him?
11483	The O''Rixes, I suppose?
11483	The next question is,_ How far is it from Winckfield to Rotherwick?_ Now do not deceive me, you wretched child!
11483	Then he looked a good deal graver, and said,"Have you been walking much on your chin lately?"
11483	Then it was time for us to go to the train, and who do you think came to the station to see us off?
11483	Thomson, who was illustrating his"Three Sunsets":-- Would you kindly do_ no_ sketches, or photos, for_ me_, on a Sunday?
11483	To which I as frankly smiled, and said,"How did you know me so soon?"
11483	Was n''t it curious?
11483	Was n''t it sad?
11483	Well, I hope you will soon see your beloved Pa come back-- for consider, should you be quite content with only Jack?
11483	Were you frightened?
11483	What do I mean by"them"?

11483	What was his name?"
11483	What?
11483	When a little girl is hoping to take a plum off a dish, and finds that she ca n''t have that one, because it''s bad or unripe, what does she do?
11483	Wherefore this vast array?
11483	Which way along a line are"preceding"points to be found?
11483	Who can doubt that he was fully prepared for a change however sudden-- for the one clear call which took him away from us?
11483	Who do I mean by"them"?
11483	Who would go into trade if there were no gain in it?
11483	Why is a pig that has lost its tail like a little girl on the sea- shore?
11483	Why should our ears be shocked by such words merely because they are Shakespeare''s?
11483	With a very pitiful look she turned to him and said,"Do n''t they give them any towels?"
11483	Yes,"time is fleet,"and we have gained Years more than twice eleven; Alice, dear child, hast thou remained"Exactually"seven?

13430	Are you following a programme of reading?
13430	But where did you find the name?
13430	Can you give me the name of the person or committee who made it?
13430	Could you not bear with him for one hour? 13430 Do you mean the country of that name?
13430	Do you mean to tell me,my friend goes on,"that you would carry your company to Spain whenever the scene of their play is laid in that country?
13430	Do you mean travels in America, or travels by Americans in foreign countries?
13430	Do you want books like Dickens''s_ American Notes_, that give a foreigner''s impression of this country?
13430	Have you any material on the Medici?
13430	Have you anything on American travels?
13430	Have you some ideas about the subject you want to take up?
13430	How do you demonstrate all this?
13430	May I see it? 13430 May I see that book again?"
13430	Or books like Hawthorne''s_ Note Book_, telling how a foreign country appears to an American?
13430	Sha n''t I get you something more now?
13430	What did your big brother ask you to get?
13430	What would you have?
13430	Which did you finally take?
13430	Why do n''t they do something?
13430	Why flood?
13430	Why war?
13430	Why,asks Poincarà ©,"do certain degrees of freedom appear to play no part here; why are they, so to speak,''ankylosed''?"
13430	Yes; just what kind of material do you want?
13430	You are not going to read that, are you?
13430	(_ The Critic_, July, 1901, p. 67- 70) WHAT MAKES PEOPLE READ?
13430	And how is he to know whether other interesting and well- written histories and books of travel have not been similarly proved inaccurate?
13430	And it did-- whether nicely or not deponent saith not?
13430	And more than all else, may we not hope that these new backgrounds may react on the players who perform their parts in front of them?
13430	And now what does this all mean?
13430	And when this story has been told in despair to some very intelligent persons they have commented:"Well, there is n''t much more, is there?"
13430	Are books fitted to be our companions?
13430	Are grammar school graduates difficult to get, or high- priced?
13430	Are not these real benefits, and are they not desirable?
13430	Are there, then, no disseminators of ideas free from interference?
13430	Are they right?
13430	Are we straying from our subject?
13430	Are we to affirm that arithmetic is only for the born mathematician and Latin for the born linguist, and endeavor to ascertain who these may be?
13430	Are you afraid that he will form it wrong?
13430	Are you broader- minded or just hardened?
13430	Are you quite sure?
13430	Are your beliefs all based on mathematical certainties?
13430	Between a certainty and a fifty per cent chance, or less?
13430	But a question that is still more fundamental and quite as vital is: Do readers read at all?
13430	But have not librarians shared somewhat this mistaken and intolerant attitude?
13430	But how about the man whose first selection for this intimate personal group would be a complete set of the works of George Ade?
13430	But we may ask in turn"Why fire?"
13430	But what prevents either from having the six degrees to which ordinary mechanical theory entitles it?
13430	But what-- what in heaven''s name shall we do with the deluge when it comes?
13430	But why should we limit our efforts to the holiday season?
13430	CONTENTS DO READERS READ?
13430	Can these be completely accounted for by the mutual attractions of the bodies, according to the law of gravitation as enunciated by Sir Isaac Newton?
13430	Can we blame them, when we make the same mistake ourselves?
13430	Could it be expected that reading done in connection with such a performance should be valuable?
13430	Could there be two things more radically different than despotism and democracy?--the rule of the one and the rule of the many?
13430	Could we or should we abandon either?
13430	Did some one guide you to them or did you find them yourselves?
13430	Did you ever see a car- conductor fumbling about in the dark with the trolley pole, trying to hit the wire?
13430	Did you ever see a chemistry that gave, or tried to give, an idea of the world of chemical knowledge that environs its board cover?
13430	Do I think that everyone in a movie audience makes use of his privilege to imagine what the actors are saying?
13430	Do the readers of library books in New York shun the public- press, or do they pay scant heed to what they read therein?
13430	Do those of you who are musicians remember when you first apprehended the relations between the tonic and the dominant chords?
13430	Does he any the less say"White"?
13430	Does it require us to call wrong right and black white?
13430	Does the absorber of mental pabulum from books argue wrongly from similar premises?
13430	Does the reading public read because it has a literary taste or for some other reason?
13430	Does the young lover ask how and how often he shall go to see his sweetheart?
13430	Does this mean that the book, as a tool of the teacher, will have to go?
13430	Does this mean that when our country makes an error we are to shut our eyes to it?
13430	Does this not place in a new and interesting light the library and the books of which it is composed?
13430	Does your public library get enough public money to enable it to do the work that it ought to do?
13430	Efficient for what?
13430	First, what is belief?
13430	Has that chemical constitution changed?
13430	Has the public a definite idea of what it wants from the public library, and of what is reasonable for it to ask?
13430	Have I wandered too far from my theme?
13430	How about education?
13430	How about the board of trustees who have accepted such a situation without protest?
13430	How about the city authorities who have failed to vote the library adequate support?
13430	How about the dissatisfied?
13430	How about the other factor in the reaction-- the human organism and its properties?
13430	How do these considerations affect the subject of general education?
13430	How is the future reader of Dr. Cook''s interesting account of the ascent of Mount McKinley to know that it has been discredited?
13430	How long is it to remain thus?
13430	How many meaty epigrams would take as long?
13430	How many teachers of history try to utilize race- consciousness in their pupils to make them attain a clearer knowledge of what it all meant?
13430	How much original thought, how much discovery, how much invention, how much inspiration, is put into their writing and emanates from their reading?
13430	How often do we give them information and aid directed toward this end?
13430	How often do we urge our readers to become book- owners?
13430	How should it be selected and how constituted?
13430	I ask the bakery lady to my reference and I sing my neam"[ sign my name?].
13430	I have heard a tiny boy, looking up suddenly from his play, ask"Why do we live?"
13430	I should inquire,"What is there in it for other people?"

13430	If so, is it satisfied that it is represented by a board that is of the same mind?
13430	In Newcomb''s words,"Does any world move otherwise than as it is attracted by other worlds?"
13430	Instead of asking the question,"What is there in it for me?"
13430	Is it because you then saw through a glass darkly and now more clearly?
13430	Is it necessary to burn down a house every time we want to roast a pig?
13430	Is it possible that they are right?

13430	Is there any chance of a movie masterpiece, anyway?
13430	Is this a truism?
13430	It is a producer of energy in easily available form, and, thinking on some such novels as"Uncle Tom,""Die Waffen nieder"and shall we say"The jungle"?
13430	It might all fade, at length; we all know that many good teachings of our childhood do vanish; why should not the bad ones occasionally follow suit?
13430	May it be that to read books is unnecessary and superfluous?
13430	May we have a center for so wide a range of activities?
13430	Must we wait for the horrors of a great war to teach us geography, industrial chemistry and international law?
13430	Now is the possession of two languages, a spoken and a written, an advantage or not?

13430	Of ten promoters, if nine proceeded on this principle and one on the plan of offering something attractive and interesting, who would succeed?
13430	One is educated, of course, by everything that he sees or does, but why rub it in?
13430	Or is he primarily attracted to the library by some other consideration, his love for books and reading acting only in a secondary manner?
13430	Or is your vision darker now than it was?
13430	Or rather shall we find that it is but apparent and hides a series of continuous processes?...
13430	Our question,"Do readers read?"
13430	Poetry, to you and me, is what we make of it; and what do you suppose our friend from Oregon was making of Chaucer?
13430	Shall I traverse the group every year?
13430	Should the librarian step out and attempt to stimulate this social instinct and to guide this organizing effort?
13430	Should we not think that some horrible epidemic had laid its hand on us?
13430	Some literature lasts a century, some a year, some a week; where shall we draw the line below which all must be condemned as ephemeral?
13430	Suppose nearly half the pebbles were black?
13430	That one black pebble represents a tiny doubt; does it affect the direction of his enforced action?
13430	The Tumtum Springs did my uncle''s gout so much good; why does n''t your cousin try them for her headaches?

13430	Then she broke out animatedly:"Why, I just wanted American travels, do n''t you know?
13430	This and its correlative"Why do we die?"
13430	This is doubtless a fault, and its possessor should suffer, but how about the equally guilty accessories?

13430	When we read a Roman account of encounters between the legions and the northern tribes, where do we place ourselves in imagination, as readers?

26312	Do you need to be cudgelled with a whole universe to begin to learn to guess?
26312	Does any one really suppose that it is really time to pat it on the back-- yet?--to spend a million dollars a year-- patting it on the back?
26312	Does he not keep on guessing in spite of himself?
26312	Does he not live plumped up against mystery every hour of his life, crowded on by ignorance, forced to guess if only to eat?

26312	Is he not browbeaten into taking things for granted whichever way he turns?
26312	Is it not a great, fresh, eager, boundless world?
26312	Is it not a world in which there is not a man living of us who does not cherish in his heart a little secret like this of his own?
26312	Is it not the most vital possible way to learn facts to learn them in their relations?"
26312	Is it your fault, or mine, Gentle Reader, that we are obliged to live in this undignified, obstreperous fashion in what is called civilisation?
26312	Is not History-- that which has actually happened-- a mystery?
26312	Is not everything I can know or guess or cry or sing written on faces?
26312	Is not his own heart thundering the infinite through him-- beating the eternal against his sides-- even while he speaks?
26312	Is not one fact out of a thousand about a truth as good as the other nine hundred and ninety- nine to enjoy it with?
26312	Is not the whole Future Tense an inference?
26312	Is there any principle in reading that fuses them both?
26312	Is there not always the altar of the heavens and the earth?
26312	It shouts to every human being across the spaces-- the outdoors of life:"Who goes there?
26312	My whole attitude toward current literature is grouty and snappish, a kind of perpetual interrupted"What are you ringing my door- bell now for?"
26312	No sweet saying To set my dull and sadden''d spirit playing?"
26312	Oh, where is thy soul?"
26312	On the great still street in space where souls are,--who cares?
26312	One ca n''t go anywhere without finding them standing around with a kind of"How- do- you- know?"
26312	One hears the soul of Keats from out its eternal Italy--"Is there no one near to help me... No fair dawn Of life from charitable voice?
26312	Ought n''t they to be?
26312	Paper: How to Humble Him Who Asks,"Have You Read----?"
26312	Peradventure there shall be ten?
26312	Peradventure there shall be twenty?
26312	Second, what is the condition of his organs-- what can he do with them?
26312	See the hill there?
26312	See those dots on Brooklyn Bridge?"
26312	Shall I reckon with alkalis and acids and not reckon with myself?
26312	Shall a man ask permission to see his wife?
26312	Shall a man so read as to lose his soul in a subject, or shall he so read that the subject Loses itself in him-- becomes a part of him?"
26312	The School is part of the horizon of the earth, and what after all is his own life and who is he that he should take account of it?
26312	The dear old- fashioned breathing spell he used to have after getting here-- whither has it gone?
26312	The final question with regard to every book that comes to a publisher to- day is what mine shall it be written in, which public shall it burrow for?
26312	The most fundamental question of every State is:"What is each man''s attitude in this State toward himself?
26312	The third man said,"What is it for?"
26312	Then The P. G. S. of M.( who is always shoving a dictionary around in front of him when he talks) spoke up and said:"But who belongs to Society?"
26312	V General Information"But what is going to become of us?"
26312	Want to see yourself?
26312	Well, well, I say to my soul, what does it all come to?
26312	What are ye, after all, but pilers- up of matter, truth- stutterers, truth- spellers, sunk in protoplasm to the tops of your souls?
26312	What are you going to do about it?
26312	What can it be?"
26312	What didst thou see in the world?"
26312	What does it all come to?
26312	What does it matter, I say to my soul- a generation or so-- from the ridge- pole of the world?
26312	What does it profit a man to discover The Inductive Method and to lose his own soul?
26312	What is The Inductive Method?
26312	What is all your science-- your boasted science, after all, but more raw material to make more guesses with?
26312	What is education if one does not infer?
26312	What is it that you are going to do with us?
26312	What is it you are doing with yourself?
26312	What is the ridge- pole of the world?
26312	What is there that he can do next?
26312	When Emerson asked Bronson Alcott"What have you done in the world, what have you written?"
26312	When will souls be allowed again?
26312	When will they be allowed in college?
26312	Where did you come from, baby fair?
26312	Where do we see the old and sweet content of loving a thing for itself?
26312	Who am I that the grasses should whisper to me, that the winds should blow upon me?
26312	Who can look at the past who does not see-- who does not always see-- some mighty Hebrew in it singing and struggling with God?
26312	Who can say he does not"come to anything"?
26312	Who is not weary of it?
26312	Why all this ado about it one way or the other?
26312	Why does it not fall upon us, or its lights go suddenly out upon us?
26312	Why learn facts at one time and their relations at another?
26312	Why not?"
26312	Why should I fill out a slip to a pretty girl, when I want to be in Greece with Homer, or go to hell with Dante?
26312	Why should I write on a piece of paper,''I promise to return-- infinity-- by six o''clock''?
26312	Why should a civilised man-- a man who has a pocket in civilisation-- a man who can burrow-- look at heaven?
26312	Why should a man take anything less than a world to hide in?
26312	Why should it approve of civilisation with a rush?
26312	Why should we?
26312	Why work for nothing( that is, with no result) in a universe where you can play for nothing-- and by playing earn everything?
26312	Would we not still be left in the way on it, we and our children, lumbering it up, soiling and disgracing it, making a machine of it?
26312	You are going my way, comrade?...
26312	You are not going my way?
26312	and do they teach anything else?
26312	and how can they possibly teach anything else?
26312	and"Did- it- happen- to- you?"
26312	it said coldly,"with its proffered scheme of education, its millenniums and things?
26312	it said;"who art thou?"
26312	one or two-- samples?"
26312	the answer of Alcott,"If Pythagoras came to Concord whom would he ask to see?"
26312	they cried, Souls that were lost from their masters while they slept-- Trooping through my dream,"What is Power?"
6884	About Howard?
6884	Ah? 6884 And do you imagine that books will always fill your life?
6884	And do you know so little of men and women as to imagine that you two could go on indefinitely content with the mere fact that you love each other? 6884 And have a wife that your friends will cut dead?
6884	And what is your plan?
6884	And you will promise to have no correspondence with Madeleine whatever?
6884	And you''ll vow--"To send for you the moment Masters is located? 6884 Are these your rooms?"
6884	Are you here or are n''t you-- dead or alive?
6884	Are you preparing to elope with him?
6884	Are you strong enough to hear the whole story? 6884 Because I was born and educated in Boston?
6884	But what shall I tell them?
6884	But where shall you go?
6884	But who?
6884	But why? 6884 But you''ll let me give you a letter to Lacey?
6884	Ca n''t you guess?
6884	Ca n''t you see it in her face at the theatre? 6884 Can men really love like that?"
6884	Did she get her mother''s jewels? 6884 Did you ask one?"
6884	Did you hear? 6884 Did you hear?"
6884	Divorced her? 6884 Divorced-- I divorced?"
6884	Do n''t you know me?
6884	Do not I always listen to you with the greatest respect?
6884	Do you know that you are asking me to give up my career? 6884 Do you know where I can find Masters?"
6884	Do you know where he hangs out?
6884	Do you mean rum?
6884	Do you mean that?
6884	Do you mean to tell me there was another man? 6884 Do you mean to tell me you are going to let any more damn foolishness wreck your life a second time?"
6884	Do you mind?
6884	Do you see who it is? 6884 Do-- do you mean to say that you tried to drink yourself to death?"
6884	Does any woman ever escape that?
6884	Does he drink at all, or is he forced to be a teetotaller?
6884	Does it? 6884 Has she as much elegance and style as ever?"
6884	Has she wrinkles? 6884 Has-- has he ever been-- literally, I mean-- in the gutter?"
6884	Have you any news of him?
6884	Have you finished that paper for_ Putnam''s?_"Three days ago, and begun another for the_ Edinburgh Review_. 6884 Have you gone clean out of your head?"
6884	Have you had any woman friends before?
6884	Have you heard from him lately?
6884	Have you no pride left?
6884	How are you, Madeleine? 6884 How could he help it?"
6884	How dared you do such a thing to me?
6884	How did I get here?
6884	How did he get it?
6884	How do you hear?
6884	How is it you spared me this before?
6884	How often did he tell you to give me that?
6884	How on earth can you distinguish any one in this infernal smoke?
6884	How shall I go about finding a lodging in Bleecker Street?
6884	Howard?
6884	I do n''t like the idea of Sally coming into contact with such a dreadful side of life--"But if I can save her, mamma?
6884	I know you did n''t go out there to meet any one; it was just a natural impulse for a little adventure, was n''t it? 6884 I suppose this means that you must not come here any more?"
6884	Is Masters as brilliant as ever-- in conversation, I mean? 6884 Is anything the matter?"
6884	Is she in Society there? 6884 Is this some infernal joke?"
6884	Is your decision irrevocable?
6884	It is nothing to you that you have disgraced me also, I suppose?
6884	News? 6884 Not if he would take you to Europe to live?
6884	Oh-- is there an earthquake?
6884	Oh?
6884	One? 6884 Shall I get you a glass of port wine?"
6884	She told my maid, and if we did n''t listen to our maids''gossip how much would we really know about what goes on in this town?
6884	So you have turned yourself into my jailer?
6884	So you want what is left of this battered old husk, Madeleine?
6884	Tell me, Mamma-- what does Madeleine look like? 6884 That was funny, was n''t it?
6884	The Club? 6884 Those books?
6884	Was I not justified in telling you? 6884 Well, and would n''t the good Californians rather read any magazine but their own?
6884	Well, what shall you do? 6884 Wh-- why did he go to the hospital?
6884	What are her favorite colors?
6884	What are you doing here, Sally? 6884 What are you going to do with it?"
6884	What difference? 6884 What do you mean?"
6884	What does this mean?
6884	What does this mean?
6884	What is Five Points?
6884	What is it, old fellow?
6884	What is it?
6884	What on earth is he doing in town?
6884	What shall it be first? 6884 What was the worse behind?"
6884	What''s the program?
6884	What, then?
6884	What? 6884 What?"
6884	What?
6884	Who is Blowitz?
6884	Who makes her gowns?
6884	Why did n''t Alexander Groome know? 6884 Why not give her a talking to?
6884	Why not try one?
6884	Will you listen to mine?
6884	Without it? 6884 Wo n''t it mean a great deal harder work?"
6884	Wo n''t you think it over?
6884	Would you mind sitting here?
6884	You are not going to kill him?
6884	You love Madeleine, do you not?
6884	You will take the train tomorrow morning for New York?
6884	''Lupie, how did you guess?
6884	), who was the man?
6884	After the novelty has worn off?"
6884	And what woman ever had so devoted a husband?
6884	And you think love a poor substitute?"
6884	And you-- you-- have been looking for him?"
6884	And your mother also?"
6884	Are you going to let Masters kill himself when you can save him?
6884	Are you going to turn me adrift to bore myself at the Club?"
6884	But I''ve promised her I would tell you--""What did he divorce her for?"
6884	But after all she went through.... How was she dressed?"
6884	But at this moment the other men entered and she whispered hurriedly,"Will you select and send them?
6884	But companionship?
6884	But how meet him?
6884	But just how many of these night hells have you been to?"
6884	But who was she or any other neglected young wife to be above falling in love if some fascinating creature laid siege?
6884	But you''ll accept these invitations-- some of them?"
6884	By the way, do n''t you think you might leave it off now?"
6884	Can you deny it?"
6884	Could anything be more reassuring?
6884	Could it be that the most elegant fashion ever invented had been discarded by Paris?
6884	D''you see?
6884	Did I tell you he had come into a little money-- just recently?"
6884	Did he secretly correspond with Madeleine?
6884	Did she no longer love him?
6884	Did she wear them in Berlin?"
6884	Did she?
6884	Did you ever hear of Langdon Masters?"
6884	Did you ever know any one to be cured against his will?"
6884	Did you speak to him?"
6884	Do n''t you suppose he''d put a stop to that if he knew it?"
6884	Do n''t you think I have pictured all that?
6884	Do women go into a decline these days from corroding love and hope in ruins?
6884	Do you know that Sally is dead?"
6884	Do you know where he is?"
6884	Do you mind?
6884	Do you only go out at night?"
6884	Do you promise?"
6884	Do you think I have no pride?"
6884	Do you think he suspects?"
6884	Do you think she would divorce Alexander?
6884	Do you want a scandal?"
6884	Does she look much older?
6884	Had any one ever heard of a Boston family named Chilton?
6884	Had he met Mrs. Abbott?
6884	Had not Sally been jealous at one time of poor Sibyl Geary?
6884	Had not all of them suffered every disappointment and discouragement in the beginning of their careers?
6884	Has Madeleine told you?
6884	Has any one seen you?"
6884	Has she any children?"
6884	Has she lost her beauty?"
6884	Have they any social position in New York?"
6884	Have we grown old since she left us?
6884	Have you been patronizing C. Beach?
6884	Have you made any plans?
6884	Have you seen him?"
6884	He thought the country would be good for you for a while and I was simply dying to have you--""Where are my clothes?
6884	Here-- what''s your name?"
6884	His tones, however, had not softened when he asked curtly after a moment:"What is the meaning of it all?
6884	Horsewhip him?
6884	How are you off for books now that Masters has deserted us?"
6884	How can you even talk of such things?
6884	How could I help it when you are so good to me?"
6884	How could you dream of such a thing?"
6884	How did she look?
6884	How did they get here?"
6884	How does he look?
6884	How dressed?
6884	How happy do you think_ that_ will make your husband?
6884	How much do you suppose that means to me?
6884	I do n''t know whether she''s weaker or stronger than Sibyl, but at any rate Sibyl is happy--""How do you know?"
6884	I have n''t forgotten one of the accompaniments-- What are you doing?"
6884	I seldom forget that, even-- where is the bath room?
6884	If we part at least you will have been saved from the complete aridity--""Part?"
6884	Interested?"
6884	Is Talbot dead?"
6884	Is anything perfect arguable?
6884	Is he gay?
6884	Is her grand air as noticeable among all those court people as it was here?"
6884	Is it a bargain?"
6884	It''s not so many years ago?"
6884	Jealous?
6884	Let me see?
6884	Lines?"
6884	Lively?"
6884	Madeleine?
6884	Madeleine?"
6884	Masters had asked himself humorously, Why not?
6884	Masters?"
6884	Masters?"
6884	May I be frank?"
6884	May I come in?"
6884	Mrs. Talbot expressed a wish--""Why in thunder do n''t you call her Madeleine?
6884	My whole future-- for usefulness as well as for the realization of my not ignoble ambitions-- lies in San Francisco and nowhere else?"
6884	News?
6884	Or was this lovely creature of surpassing elegance, a law unto herself?
6884	Or would you rather stay in bed today?"
6884	Overcome innumerable obstacles?
6884	People had never been kinder to her; and if their persistent attentions were strongly diluted with curiosity, who shall blame them?
6884	Perhaps you will admit me shortly after lunch and let me hang round until you are ready to go out?"
6884	Perhaps you will send me one tomorrow?"
6884	Shall I tell her you will see her in an hour?"
6884	Shall we go into the front parlor?
6884	She looked like a fairy queen in blue gauze and diamond stars in her hair one night at the American Legation--""How does she wear her hair?"
6884	Should they receive her or should they not?
6884	Should-- should-- you like me to read to you?
6884	Suppose we take a week off and go on a bear hunt?
6884	That I shall never have such an opportunity in my life again?
6884	That means we''ll have our newspaper in three weeks at the outside-- But what is the matter, old chap?
6884	The Doctor burst into the room and exclaimed jovially:"You here?
6884	There''s a new man at the desk and he let me go up--""Well, what is your idea?"
6884	This is what I want to know: Can anything be done about Madeleine Talbot?
6884	Throw me into the street?
6884	Was he very ill?"
6884	Was she ahead of the mode as ever?
6884	Was she ill, that she wrote so seldom?
6884	Well, Blowitz--""But Madeleine?
6884	What are you doing?
6884	What do we care about tiresome political letters in solemn old newspapers?
6884	What have I?"
6884	What if he should die suddenly?
6884	What possible use could such a man be to Society?
6884	What shall it be?"
6884	What should she do?
6884	What was he doing there?"
6884	What will you take with you to- night?"
6884	What would Howard say if he found you out?"
6884	What would Howard say?
6884	What would he do to the wretch?
6884	What would they be doing in Berlin?"
6884	What would you say, Masters, to editing a paper of your own?"
6884	What''s that?"
6884	What''s this?"
6884	What_ did_ insulted women do?
6884	When did you arrive?"
6884	Where can we hide her?"
6884	Where else?
6884	Where shall I begin?
6884	Where-- where have you taken your meals?"
6884	Who had ever heard of a pretty woman raised on beans, codfish, and pie for breakfast?
6884	Who is he?"
6884	Why could n''t she wait until tomorrow?
6884	Why did Howard move me into another room?"
6884	Why do n''t you say so?"
6884	Why do n''t you take her in hand?"
6884	Why do poets waste so many beautiful words over love?
6884	Why do you take so much interest?
6884	Why does n''t he start a newspaper?"
6884	Why does youth take life so tragically?
6884	Why had she not done her duty?
6884	Why is she here?
6884	Why not?"
6884	Why should he go to the dogs and I go through life with the respect and approval of the world?
6884	Why?"
6884	Will the rest of you promise?"
6884	Will you tell the man to drive to the Occidental Hotel?"
6884	Will you?"
6884	Wo n''t you let me die in my own way?"
6884	Would Dr. Talbot come at once?
6884	Would he blow out his brains if she died of consumption?
6884	Would he stop to think of scandal?
6884	Would it be possible to recognize any one in that smoke?
6884	You knew that your father was dead, did you not?
6884	You really must not remain here another moment-- and you surely do not intend to walk back-- six miles?"
6884	You understand all this, do n''t you?"
6884	You''ll leave him in the gutter then?"
