7243_ How_ many?
7243And how else would I go about it?"
7243And might he see her?
7243But come-- never mind about that; let''s-- have you got such a thing as a map of that region about you?
7243But does that make him one of_ them_?

7243If you spoke of the duke, or the earl, or the bishop, how could anybody tell which one you meant?

7247Brother!--to dirt like that?
7247But the people arrived in time to save the family; how is it they could save none of the prisoners?
7247But what are these in comparison with me? 7247 Dead?"
7247Duty? 7247 Great guns, my liege, where did you get that?"
7247Has he ever gone beyond that?
7247I am not sorry, I_ think_--but--"What is it? 7247 I?
7247In what lacketh it?
7247Is he asleep?
7247Is it your husband?

7247Does Merlin possess it?"
7247For look you-- what is left to live for?
7247No matter, we must try to cut this man down, on the chance that there might be life in him yet, must n''t we?

7247Which is the mightier gift, do you think?"
7247Who had done this?
7247Yes, he certainly did the best he could, but what of that?
7247You would not tell anybody I said them?"
7242And this is n''t an asylum? 7242 Are these other people in their right minds?"
7242At what hour?
7242Bridgeport?
7242Fair sir, will ye just?
7242Let you_ what_?
7242My master and thine? 7242 Other ones?
7242Prithee what dream?
7242What dream? 7242 What shall I do?
7242Who is it?
7242Why, poor lad, what is the matter? 7242 Will I which?"
7242Will ye try a passage of arms for land or lady or for--"What are you giving me?
7242Are you in your right mind?"
7242But how many, Clarence?
7242Damsel, said Arthur, what sword is that, that yonder the arm holdeth above the water?
7242Do you belong to the asylum, or are you just on a visit or something like that?"
7242Do you know why I laughed?"
7242Escape?
7242I allowed silence to accumulate while I got my impressiveness together, and then said:"How long have I been shut up in this hole?"
7242I mean, it is n''t a place where they cure crazy people?"
7242I said,"you here yet?
7242I waited a minute, to let that idea shudder its way home, and then said:"And according to your notions, what year is it now?"
7242If this was n''t the one I was after, how was I to tell whether this was the sixth century, or nothing but a dream?
7242Is it satisfactory?"
7242Not many, I hope?"
7242Now tell me, honest and true, where am I?"
7242Prithee how long?"
7242Suppose I should be asked to name my calamity?
7242Suppose Sir Walter, instead of putting the conversations into the mouths of his characters, had allowed the characters to speak for themselves?
7242That cheap old humbug, that maundering old ass?
7242The king said:"How long-- ah, how long, good sir?
7242They disputed long, but in the end, Merlin, scoffing, said,''Wherefore hath he not_ named_ his brave calamity?
7242This is the 20th, then?"
7242What are they?"
7242What damsel is that?
7242What is the name of that apparition that brought me here?"
7242What signifieth yonder pavilion?
7242What year was it?"
7242Whether liketh you better, said Merlin, the sword or the scabbard?
7242Why do you blench?
7242Why do you tremble so?"
7242Will you get that to the king for me?"
7242and is it a dream that you''re to be burned to- morrow?
7242what can I say, to gain a little time?"
7782Lo, fool,he said,"ye talk Fool''s treason: is the king thy brother fool?"
7782Lord,she said,"my man Hath left me or is dead;"whereon he thought--"What an she hate me now?
7782''Man, is he man at all?''
7782***** So Tristram won, and Lancelot gave, the gems, Not speaking other word than"Hast thou won?
7782***** Then Arthur rose and Lancelot follow''d him, And while they stood without the doors, the King Turn''d to him saying,"Is it then so well?
7782And Isolt answer''d,"Yea, and why not I?
7782And Tristram,"Was it muddier than thy gibes?
7782Art thou the purest, brother?
7782Bind me to one?
7782But hearken, have ye met him?
7782But then what folly had sent him overseas After she left him lonely here?
7782Did I love her?
7782Dost thou know the star We call the harp of Arthur up in heaven?"
7782Dropt down from heaven?
7782For when had Lancelot utter''d aught so gross Ev''n to the swineherd''s malkin in the mast?
7782Fought in her father''s battles?
7782How darest thou, if lover, push me even In fancy from thy side, and set me far In the gray distance, half a life away, Her to be loved no more?
7782Isolt of Britain dash''d Before Isolt of Brittany on the strand, Would that have chill''d her bride- kiss?
7782Lied, say ye?
7782Man was it who marr''d Heaven''s image in thee thus?"
7782Softly laugh''d Isolt,"Flatter me not, for hath not our great Queen My dole of beauty trebled?"
7782Speak, Lancelot, thou art silent: is it well?"
7782Swine, say ye?
7782Swine?
7782The black- blue Irish hair and Irish eyes Had drawn him home-- what marvel?
7782The name was ruler of the dark----Isolt?
7782Then Dagonet, turning on the ball of his foot,"And whither harp''st thou thine?
7782Then Tristram saying,"Why skip ye so, Sir Fool?"
7782Then Tristram, waiting for the quip to come,"Good now, what music have I broken, fool?"
7782Then ran across her memory the strange rhyme Of bygone Merlin,"Where is he who knows?
7782They fail''d to trace him thro''the flesh and blood Of our old Kings: whence then?
7782Was it the name of one in Brittany, Isolt, the daughter of the King?
7782Wedded her?
7782What an she love me still?
7782What faith have these in whom they sware to love?
7782What rights are his that dare not strike for them?
7782Will ye not lie?
7782a name?
7782art thou not that eunuch- hearted King Who fain had clipt free manhood from the world-- The woman- worshipper?
7782did ye keep the vow ye made to Mark More than I mine?
7782do ye see it?
7782do ye see the star?"
7782her too hast thou left To pine and waste in those sweet memories?
7782lock up my tongue From uttering freely what I freely hear?
7782or fiend?
7782to whom Tristram, half plagued by Lancelot''s languorous mood, Made answer,"Ay, but wherefore toss me this Like a dry bone cast to some hungry hound?
7782wash''d up from out the deep?
7782wounded there?
7250--Sir Driant, Sir Lambegus, Sir Herminde, Sir Pertilope, Sir Perimones, and-- whom do you think?
7250--going to leave Cadiz and cruise in distant seas indefinitely, for the health of your family? 7250 And the queen, Clarence?"
7250Are you-- are you-- well, afraid of these thirty thousand knights?
7250Did the committee make a report?
7250Do you mean it?
7250How did it come about?
7250No? 7250 Unanimous?"
7250Well, I was going to, but--"But what? 7250 Well, and the glass- cylinder dynamite torpedoes?"
7250Well?
7250What are you saying? 7250 What do you mean by that?"
7250What is what?
7250What thing-- where?
7250What was that?
7250Why did you select boys?
7250Why?
7250Why?
7250Wire fence?
7250You tested the torpedoes?
7250_ And_ Sir Launcelot''s?
7250Asleep, perhaps?
7250Consider this: while all England is marching against us, who is in the van?
7250Did he get well?"
7250Did you ever know me to be inhospitable?"
7250Did you send me that word?"
7250Did you think you had educated the superstition out of those people?"
7250Fifty- four what?
7250Grateful?
7250Had the nation been swept out of existence?
7250Had there been an invasion?
7250I lost myself a moment, and I thought you were gone.... Have I been sick long?
7250I said:"Could it be a man, Clarence?"
7250I want to go and--""Be a reception committee?
7250I would have written, would n''t I?"
7250Invasion?
7250Jesu mercy, said the king, where are all my noble knights becomen?
7250Men?
7250Sandy?..."
7250Shall we avoid the battle, retire from the field?"
7250The gatlings?"
7250Then I seemed to see a row of black dots appear along that ridge-- human heads?
7250We started a whispered conversation, but suddenly Clarence broke off and said:"What is that?"
7250Well, how have you arranged the fence?"
7250Well-- is the king all right?
7250What have you been doing?"
7250What is that?"
7250What is the best of that sort, as compared with the friendship of man and wife, where the best impulses and highest ideals of both are the same?
7250What next, I wonder?"
7250When does the performance begin?"
7250Where was my great commerce that so lately had made these glistening expanses populous and beautiful with its white- winged flocks?
7250Who did it?"
7250Who, by the commonest rules of war, will march in the front?
7250Why not take the lightning off the outer fences, and give them a chance?"
7250Why, it''s an immense oversight not to apply a--""Test?
7250a pestilence?
7250an earthquake?
7248An earl, say ye?
7248And if he is unpopular he can depend on_ dying_, right there in the stocks, ca n''t he?
7248As a rule he is crippled for life, is n''t he?--jaws broken, teeth smashed out?--or legs mutilated, gangrened, presently cut off? 7248 Do ye believe--""That he actually will help to fix his own wages?
7248Does n''t ask any of those poor devils to_ help_ him fix their wages for them, does he?
7248I leave it to your own consciences, friends, if this is not also true?
7248Is it right to condemn a man to a slight punishment for a small offense and then kill him?
7248Is that all?
7248Oh, great Scott, is n''t it possible to get such a simple thing through your head? 7248 Then they throw dead cats at him, do n''t they?"
7248They be madmen, worshipful sir, that have come wandering we know not whence, and--"Ye know not whence? 7248 They begin by clodding him; and they laugh themselves to pieces to see him try to dodge one clod and get hit with another?"
7248What is the amount? 7248 What proofs?"
7248What?
7248Will there be_ no_ law or sense in that day?
7248--or an eye knocked out, maybe both eyes?"
7248And what Englishman was the most interested in the slavery question by that time?
7248And what may a mechanic get-- carpenter, dauber, mason, painter, blacksmith, wheelwright, and the like?"
7248And whence are ye?
7248Appeal to_ me_ to be gentle, to be fair, to be generous?
7248But, do n''t you know, there are some things that can beat smartness and foresight?
7248CHAPTER XXXIV THE YANKEE AND THE KING SOLD AS SLAVES Well, what had I better do?
7248Do we stop there?
7248Do ye pretend ye know them not?"
7248Gratitude?
7248He asked me to retain one of the dollars as security, until he could go to town and--I interrupted:"What, and fetch back nine cents?
7248However, I must try:"Why, look here, brother Dowley, do n''t you see?
7248I asked:"What do you pay a pound for salt?"
7248Is a man ever put in the pillory for a capital crime?"
7248Lord, what do you want with words to express that?
7248My position was simple enough, plain enough; how could it ever be simplified more?
7248Pale, shaky, dumb, pitiful?
7248Put yourself in my place; feel as mean as I did, as ashamed as I felt-- wouldn''t_ you_ have struck below the belt to get even?
7248The gentleman inspected us critically, then said sharply to the peasants:"What are ye doing to these people?"
7248The king burst out in a fury, and said:"What meaneth this ill- mannered jest?"
7248The mob try to have some fun with him, do n''t they?"
7248The thing is, how much can you_ buy_ with your wages?
7248Undeserved defeat, but what of that?
7248Well, now, what do you suppose our master did?
7248What do you allow a laboring woman who works on a farm?"
7248What do you pay for a man''s tow- linen suit?"
7248What do you pay for a stuff gown for the wife of the laborer or the mechanic?"
7248What do you pay for beef and mutton-- when you buy it?"
7248What do you pay for beer?"
7248What do you pay for eggs?"
7248What do you pay for wheat?"
7248What usually happens when a poor fellow is put in the pillory for some little offense that did n''t amount to anything in the world?
7248What would he brood about, should you say?
7248Whisper to him?
7248Who are ye?
7248Why?"
7248Would he abolish slavery?
7248You see?
7248_ You_ would n''t think it much of a risk to take a chance in the stocks?"
7246A man not eligible for a lieutenancy in the army unless he can prove four generations of noble descent?
7246And where will they be the day after to- morrow at vespers?
7246And wit you also that to know it skills not of itself, but ye must likewise pronounce it? 7246 And you have no fear to try?"
7246Anything else in the way of news?
7246Are these all?
7246As how?
7246But not certainly? 7246 Can you write?"
7246Come,I said,"what are you waiting for?
7246Do you know the multiplication table?
7246Does the king know the way to this place?
7246Fulfills what rule?
7246Grandfather?
7246Great- grandfather?
7246Great- great- grandfather?
7246How much is 9 times 6?
7246Name, so please you?
7246Oh,_ that_? 7246 Son of?"
7246This will bring them here-- when?
7246Utter it? 7246 What are you talking about?
7246What do you know of the laws of attraction and gravitation?
7246What do you know of the science of optics?
7246What good? 7246 Ye wit that he that would break this spell must know that spirit''s name?"
7246You promise this?--you promise it? 7246 ---- BRER MERLIN WORKS HIS ARTS, BUT GETS LEFT? 7246 After some affectionate interchanges, and some account of my late illness, I said:What is new?"
7246Are ye minded to utter that name and die?"
7246Are you in earnest?"
7246Art a fool?
7246But the name of_ this_ valley doth woundily differ from the name of_ that_ one; indeed to differ wider were not pos--""What was that name, then?"
7246Can you write?"
7246Competitive examination?"
7246Condition?"
7246Do you know where you are?"
7246Does the king''s grace approve of this strange law?"
7246Finally I said:"How does the thing promise by this time, partner?"
7246For was not this my darling, and was not all this mute wonder and interest and homage a most eloquent tribute and unforced compliment to it?
7246Have n''t they told you anything about the great miracle of the restoration of a holy fountain?"
7246He asked if any would like to know what the Emperor of the East was doing now?
7246He stood aside a moment, and Sir Pertipole was questioned further:"Of what condition was the wife of the founder of your line?"
7246His face flushed indignantly, and he fired this at me:"Takest me for a clerk?
7246I have my conditions?"
7246I said:"Can your lordship read?"
7246I said:"How long has this office been established here, Ulfius?"
7246Is it a handkerchief?--saddle blanket?--part of a shirt?
7246Is it true?"
7246Is it writing that appears on it, or is it only ornamentation?
7246Knew ye that?"
7246Many''s the time she had asked me,"Sir Boss, hast seen Sir Launcelot about?"
7246My candidate was called first, out of courtesy to me, and the head of the Board opened on him with official solemnity:"Name?"
7246Now perhaps you can spread yourself a little, and tell us where the king and queen and all that are this moment riding with them are going?"
7246Our Arthur the king--""Would you know of him?"
7246So I sounded a Brother:"Would n''t you like a bath?"
7246They watched the incantations absorbingly, and looked at me with a"There, now, what can you say to that?"
7246What good is such a qualification as that?"
7246What is it for?
7246What is it made of?
7246What part is true?"
7246Who were chosen, and what was the method?
7246Will it wear, do you think, and wo n''t the rain injure it?
7246Would they like to know what the Supreme Lord of Inde was doing?
7246Would you drive away the blessed water again?"
7246Would you think that that would cure?
7246Ye mean, not certainly?"
7246You did n''t hear of them?"
7245A which, please you, sir?
7245Ah, sweet sir, and leave my wife and chick without bread and shelter?
7245But surely you will not sit idle by, but help?
7245But, your Highness, suppose he has nothing to confess?
7245Come-- you do n''t even know these people? 7245 Endureth what?"
7245Family?
7245Has somebody been washing again?
7245He? 7245 Hotel?
7245How are they feeling about the calamity?
7245How does the water usually stand in it?
7245How is trade?
7245How? 7245 Is she alive?"
7245Keep open?
7245Knock off?
7245My lord?
7245No family? 7245 Now how indeed might that be?
7245So the Unknown was near the dead stag, too? 7245 Thanks for what?"
7245The community has prospered since?
7245Then is this Unknown the only person who saw the stag killed?
7245We want to take them to their home, do n''t we?
7245Well, then, whose house is this?
7245Well, then, why in the world_ did n''t_ he confess?
7245Well, well, well,--now who would ever have thought it? 7245 Well, why would n''t you tell me your story, then?"
7245What is it?
7245What will he say? 7245 Where is this watering place?"
7245Wherefore, fair sir and Boss?
7245Which family, good my lord?
7245Who doubted? 7245 Who?"
7245Will I be traitor to my knight, dost think? 7245 You_ did_?
7245A successful whirl in the knight- errantry line-- now what is it when you blow away the nonsense and come down to the cold facts?
7245Am I right?"
7245An I rack him to death and he confess not, it will peradventure show that he had indeed naught to confess-- ye will grant that that is sooth?
7245And how can I bear it?
7245And if it were not so, who will give law to the Church?
7245And often, in spite of me, I found myself saying,"What would this country be without the Church?"
7245And then there was that damsel of sixty winter of age still excursioning around in her frosty bloom-- How old are you, Sandy?"
7245Are those three yonder that to my disordered eyes are starveling swine- herds--""The ogres, Are_ they_ changed also?
7245But is Merlin working strictly on pious lines?"
7245But what is your highness''s idea for racking the prisoner?
7245Can you call_ those_ assets?
7245Do they keep open afternoons?"
7245Do they knock off at noon?"
7245Forsooth what can he say but give thanks?"
7245How did you ever venture to take this extravagant liberty?
7245How so?
7245I called in a monk and asked:"How deep is the well?"
7245I mind not to have heard--""Of hotel?
7245I never saw such a dunderhead; ca n''t you understand anything at all?
7245I said to the queen:"Then why in the world did n''t you set them free?"
7245I said:"Castle?
7245I said:"How many are in the family, Sandy, and where do they keep themselves?"
7245I thought to myself: She?
7245I went on--"You know of me?"
7245If we look at it in another way, we see how absurd it is: if I had an anvil in me would I prize it?
7245Imploring what?
7245Is it a celebrated place?"
7245Is n''t it just possible that he did the killing himself?
7245Is n''t that plain enough?
7245Is there a matinee?"
7245Is there anything stirring in the monkery, more than common?"
7245Now am I fearful; for how canst thou strike with sure aim when five of their nine cubits of stature are to thee invisible?
7245Oh, and he will not speak!--whereas, the healing, the solace that lie in a blessed swift death--""What_ are_ you maundering about?
7245Shall I starve whom I love, to win a gentle death?
7245So he had lost five of his treasures; there must still be one remaining-- one now infinitely, unspeakably precious,--but_ which_ one?
7245The man''s death?
7245Then who invited us here?"
7245What could be done?
7245What did you want him to do that for?"
7245What had happened when the well gave out that other time?
7245What is the matter with knock off?
7245What will the man say?"
7245Where have you been foraging of late?"
7245Where is the profit?"
7245Who is to take the aristocracy home?"
7245Why did n''t you before?"
7245Why should you?"
7245Why, Sandy, is n''t this your home?"
7245Would you like to risk a month in a dry time like this?"
7245You will go with me?
7245_ Whom_ could she pay?
7245why what can she know about photography?
7245wife, or child?
7037And how about yourself, Scopus? 7037 And how is she looking, Philo?"
7037And what will they do with us at Rome?
7037And you have come to ask my gladiators to join?
7037And you think he will keep his oath?
7037And you will send them, father?
7037And you, Beric?
7037Are Britons so poor and unmanly a race, that even when twenty to one they can not conquer a foe? 7037 Are all well here?"
7037Are you a Christian?
7037Are you a Roman?
7037Are you alive?
7037Are you ready to undertake it, Beric? 7037 Beric?"
7037But are they born that colour, Beric?
7037But could they destroy it, Cneius? 7037 But how are we to convey our cattle over?"
7037But how are we to get the boats? 7037 But how came you to think of fighting in that way?"
7037But how can they have got through our lines in the night, Muro?
7037But how else could it have fallen, Cneius?
7037But how is it that he speaks our language?
7037But how is it, then, that you came to command so many, and became in time the leader of so large a band?
7037But they will not kill women and girls surely, even if they did take the city?
7037But what are you going to do with these great piles?
7037But what do they do with themselves?
7037But what makes them so black, Beric?
7037But what were they doing there, Beric?
7037But why are you thus disguised, and how did you know that Aemilia and I were here?
7037But you are not the Beric whom we have heard of as leading the insurgent Britons?
7037But you do n''t think they have revolted?
7037But you will never fight against us, Beric,the girl said anxiously,"after living so long among us?"
7037Can I come here and read?
7037Can a lad achieve a success where one of our best and bravest chiefs has been repulsed?
7037Can any of the other Fenmen in the boats speak our language?
7037Can not you come with us, Beric?
7037Can we go down and see if we can be of any assistance?
7037Could we sail in these ships to Rome?
7037Could you take us with you to see your chiefs?
7037Did you not hear the shouts of the people the last time you entered, Beric?
7037Do I understand,he said at last,"that you refuse to obey me?"
7037Do we have to fight against each other, or against strangers?
7037Do you assent to it? 7037 Do you say this too, Pollio?"
7037Do you still hear aught of the brigands, Cornelius?
7037Do you think they will be very formidable, Beric?
7037Does that plan please you?
7037Have they any chief with them?
7037Have you any idea of the number of these people?
7037Have you any place you make your headquarters?
7037Have you inquired since you arrived,Beric went on,"of the infamous deeds of Decianus?
7037Have you seen Norbanus?
7037He will not do that,Aemilia said,"and how can I leave him?"
7037How about food?
7037How did you escape the battle?
7037How died he?
7037How far distant is it?
7037How fares it with you, Berenice? 7037 How is that?"
7037How long shall we stay here, Beric?
7037How much flour have you in the house?
7037How think you will it go?
7037How would they proceed, Beric?
7037I fear that they will show slight mercy to any, Berenice; why should they? 7037 I had not thought that men could be taught so to move together; and that is how the Romans fight, Beric?"
7037I thought you were glad to return, Pollio?
7037I wonder why they are coming round here?
7037If Caractacus could not unite us, what hope is there of finding another who would do so? 7037 In trouble?"
7037Is anything the matter, father?
7037Is it a human being, think you,he murmured in Beric''s ear,"or a wild creature they have tamed?
7037Is it so?
7037Is that you, Beric?
7037Is the swamp that you speak of deep?
7037It was but a happy thought, Porus: if a man could be caught in a net, why not a lion blinded in a cloak? 7037 Look, Aska,"he said presently;"do you see that deep line of wagons forming all round us?
7037May I do so?
7037Oh, Beric, why have you thrown away your life in a useless attempt to save mine?
7037Shall I tell you your fortune?
7037That is so,Beric agreed;"but is it possible that even the greatest hero should find support from all?
7037Then can you tell me how the Romans act in such a case, Beric?
7037Then some of these men speak our tongue, I suppose?
7037Then you like them no better for having lived among them, Beric?
7037Then you think that our only chance is to move to the mountains north of Cosenza before they land, Beric?
7037There are still many of your tribesmen in the Fens?
7037Think you that the queen has fallen?
7037Think you that there is really danger of its coming this way?
7037Think you there will be pursuit, Beric?
7037Upon what terms, think you, would your countrymen surrender?
7037War is declared,she said;"the question is shall we commence at once, or shall we wait?"
7037Was it Boduoc?
7037We have need of much grain, for if the Romans take your land and kill your people, where shall we buy grain? 7037 Well, Boduoc, what think you of Rome?"
7037Well, what do you say, Beric? 7037 Were you a gladiator once?"
7037Were you, child? 7037 What are my duties to be?"
7037What are they going to do to us, think you?
7037What can ten thousand men do against a host like ours?
7037What can you do alone,he shouted to them,"more than the others are doing?
7037What did she say, Beric?
7037What do you consider to be the best weapon-- the trident or the sword?
7037What do you say, Pollio? 7037 What do you think of it, Cneius?"
7037What do you think, Aska?
7037What does my lord require?
7037What good did it do them?
7037What have we done? 7037 What have you been doing all day, Beric?"
7037What is an enemy? 7037 What is being done, Scopus?"
7037What is it all about, Beric?
7037What is it, father?
7037What is it? 7037 What is that?"
7037What is the matter?
7037What is the news, Beric?
7037What is to prevent us, Boduoc?
7037What say you, Beric?
7037What think you of it, Beric?
7037What think you?
7037What time is it, think you, Boduoc?
7037What was there to do? 7037 What were you doing in the hut?"
7037What, would you like to pick a husband out among them, dame?
7037When do you enter his service, Beric?
7037When will you take me to my father?
7037Whence have you got these wonderful porters, Aemilia?
7037Where are you, Cneius?
7037Where is your husband?
7037Who are you?
7037Who are you?
7037Who are you?
7037Who could help it, Beric? 7037 Who is this?"
7037Why come you here, woman?
7037Why do they conquer you?
7037Why is there a crowd gathered round that large building?
7037Why should Beric succeed when Unser has failed?
7037Why should n''t we? 7037 Why terrible, Beric?
7037Why, Beric, is it you, tired already of the dignities of Rome? 7037 Why, did you not eat with them?"
7037Why, what are you doing at this time of night in so lonely a place, and without other attendants than this woman?
7037Will my mother be here?
7037Will you give me your promise,he asked,"about going out at night again?
7037Will you let me go with my comrades first to aid Norbanus, a magistrate who has done me service?
7037Would she like to see me now?
7037You did not recognize me, then?
7037You do n''t expect me to name a price for all these articles, Scopus? 7037 You do n''t like Nero, Pollio?"
7037You dog,he exclaimed,"how dare you take a knife?
7037You feel sure that the Romans will try to reconquer Britain?
7037You never find any unwilling to learn?
7037You think we shall lose, Beric?
7037You will not be ashamed to walk through the streets with a gladiator, Pollio?
7037''What, then, have you to report?''
7037Among all the peoples Rome has conquered where has she met with cowards?
7037And all went well on the voyage?"
7037And are you ready to affix your signature to the contract?"
7037And do you not know who that is standing there?"
7037And how are the Ladies Lesbia and Aemilia?"
7037And think you that it is the heat of the sun that has curled up their hair so tightly?"
7037And this is your wife?
7037And this young man is their chief?
7037And what has been going on here, Berenice?"
7037Are these Christians as brave?"
7037Are these your countrymen?
7037Are you sober?"
7037Berenice asked;"it is terrible, is it not?
7037Beric asked,"and what is the price of it?"
7037Beric repeated;"is it possible, mother?"
7037But shall we be any stronger thereby?
7037But what do you know of fortunes?"
7037But what has kept you?"
7037But what is that sudden flash of light?"
7037But who fears death?
7037But why do you say that until today you have been almost a slave?
7037By the way, what are you going to do with that basketful of women''s ornaments that I have locked up in my coffer?"
7037Can anyone propose a good plan for obtaining supplies?"
7037Can it be possible that Beric is again opposing us?
7037Can they talk?"
7037Can you think of any other plan by which we may advance with less loss?"
7037Did they fight any better for their Roman fashions?
7037Did you mark Caesar?
7037Do n''t you think so?"
7037Do you not think so, chiefs?"
7037Has he other children?"
7037Have I been mistaken in your thoughts of her?"
7037Have I your permission to act as I choose?"
7037Have any more of my people come in since I left?"
7037Have you not already risked your life to save a Christian?"
7037Heard you aught of his daughter?"
7037How about Chiton?"
7037How can a child like you know more than the wisest heads of Rome?
7037How can you deny the gods who have protected and given victory to your country?
7037How could it be otherwise, when even the Greeks awarded you the crown for your recitations at their contests?
7037How do you fare here, Gatho?"
7037How else could you have been so strong and fearless?
7037How fares it with you, Boduoc?"
7037How he seized, without the shadow of excuse, the property of Boadicea?
7037How is it that none of our messengers have returned?
7037How long will you be there?"
7037How much do you require?"
7037How then could I ask you for the hand of Aemilia, a maiden of noble family, when the future is all so dark and troubled and my own lot so uncertain?
7037How would you dress for waiting on Caesar?"
7037I am ready to do all in my power to bring it about; but how are they to know what I have done?"
7037If he is offended, why does he not challenge me to fight, as is customary in all the ludi?"
7037If it was an offence, why did he not take it up?
7037If men can neither fight nor hunt, how are they to employ their time?
7037If this huge army can not break their line, what could two hundred men do?"
7037If we win, all the detached forts must surrender; if we lose, what matters it?"
7037If we, a civilized people, thus make war, what can you expect from the men upon whom we have inflicted such countless injuries?"
7037Is he a coward that others have to fight his battles?
7037Is it for dogs like these to complain because they are whipped?
7037Is it not strange, Pollio, that this Briton should be so mixed up in both our lives?"
7037Is man anywhere lower than the wild beast, who will face his assailants till the last?
7037Is nought said there about military preparations?"
7037Is there anyone to whom we shall specially take them, or shall we place a guard over them?"
7037Is there aught else that you would wish?
7037It were best to speak to the men, Aska, for us to be moving on; will you address them?"
7037Let me see, to what office shall I appoint you?
7037Parta, you are willing that your son should try?"
7037Should I ever have to take refuge among the Christians, and like Ennia come to love their doctrines, would you be angered if I joined their sect?
7037Should we, a free born people, submit to such an indignity to our queen?
7037Since their gods could not protect their own altars what hope could there be for them in the future?
7037Still, what could a man want more than to be well housed, well fed, and have the companionship of plenty of good fellows?
7037Tell me, has Phaon done all to make you comfortable?
7037Thanks to the gods I can bear that as becomes a Roman; but how would it have been had I seen her torn to pieces under my eyes?
7037The land was large enough for us, why should we fight to conquer swamps which would be useless to us?
7037The trader, who knew him by sight, remarked,"Have you been purchasing more slaves?"
7037There, do you hear the watchmen''s trumpets giving the alarm?
7037Think you that the tribesmen would then accept my counsels to leave the Fens and return to their homes?
7037Well, Beric, are you ready to go out with me?"
7037Well, and what do you think is going to be done with us?"
7037Well, what do you say?"
7037What are the rites among your own people, Beric?"
7037What can be done when the fire is sweeping along a mile broad, and the heat is so great that there is no standing within a hundred yards of it?
7037What could they do against a horde of barbarians?
7037What could they have done had the Brigantes and we from the north, and the whole of the southern tribes, then unbroken, closed down upon them?
7037What do you say, my child?"
7037What do you think, Beric?"
7037What is it?"
7037What is the advantage of it?
7037What is the last news you have of the Romans?"
7037What is your news?"
7037What matter, they argued, if two or three hundred Romans were left there for the present?
7037What mattered the life of a woman in comparison to yours, when you know my hopes and plans for you?
7037What more can you want than that?"
7037What more could they want of them?
7037What said she?"
7037What say you, my friends, has Beric spoken well?"
7037What think you, now?
7037What will be the end of them?"
7037What will you give us?"
7037When the chiefs''consultation was finished, the one who had before spoken turned to them and said:"What will you give if we take you to such a place?"
7037When will you have the boats at the place you name?"
7037Whence come they?"
7037Where am I to join you afterwards?"
7037Where are the cattle?"
7037Where are the men who built the houses, who dressed in soft garments, who aped the Romans, and who regarded us as well nigh savage men?
7037Where did you come from so suddenly to our aid?
7037Where do you think of establishing yourself-- at Camalodunum?"
7037Where go we now, Beric?"
7037Where is your brother?"
7037Which shall we do, Beric, pile more wood on the fire, or let it go out altogether?
7037Who aided the Trinobantes when the Romans defeated them and established themselves on that hill?
7037Who are to attack the temple tomorrow?"
7037Who could have thought, when I entertained, as a passing guest, the friend of Pollio, that he would be the saviour of my family?
7037Why ca n''t you leave his friend alone?
7037Why do they seek to leave their land?"
7037Why is it different today?"
7037Why should the Briton cumber his limbs with this garment?
7037Why, do n''t you know the snarling of wolves when you hear them?"
7037Will not rather the confusion be greater?
7037Wilt thou be such a one to me?"
7037Wo n''t you come with me, Boduoc?"
7037Worse than all, when Caractacus was driven a fugitive to hide among the Brigantes, did not their queen, Cartismandua, hand him over to the Romans?
7037Would you like to look into a library now?"
7037Yes, do n''t you remember me now?"
7037You are sure, Boduoc, that all the other arrangements are perfect?"
7037You are well, Cneius, I hope?
7037You did not love her?"
7037You do n''t suppose that a fresh joined youth is going to fight with one who has won a score of times in the arena?"
7037You have run no risks, I trust, since you have been here?"
7037You know the Romans; where do you think we had better fight them?"
7037You saw no one, did you?"
7037You speak our language too?"
7037You think this will be so, Beric?"
7037and how, when she came here for justice for herself and her insulted daughters, he ordered her to be scourged?
7037and why is that?"
7037he shouted,"and what do you here in the mountains?"
7037what about?"
22304A key? 22304 After what fashion, dog?"
22304All is then as it should be?
22304All?
22304And I-- what wouldst have of me in return?
22304And if I will not?
22304And it is for us to keep her there.--How?
22304And my lord?
22304And our lady?
22304And she-- where is she?
22304And she?
22304And so-- what happened then?
22304And that is?
22304And that one who aided your escape?
22304And the one who is most nearly touched in this?
22304And thou hast remained in Britain since thy comrades sailed back to Gaul?
22304And wherefore?
22304And why not?
22304And why wouldst have me changed? 22304 And you believe that the gods will take vengeance on me for having brought to pass the death of such a haunted one?"
22304And-- if it were?
22304Are you a coward, that you will listen to his cries when a word of yours could release him? 22304 Art recovered from thy madness?"
22304Art thou Christian?
22304Art thou fair enough to win him, handicapped as thou art? 22304 Art thou of the faith?"
22304Art thou she who was bought at Thorney of a slave- driver by one Valerius, and claimed sanctuary of a Christian cross by the church of Saint Peter?
22304At it again, thou old lion and his mate? 22304 Awake, lad?
22304Ay, it is a good tale, but as I have heard it, it lacketh something-- what? 22304 Because you can not understand me, you call me strange?"
22304Besides, if I did, should I tell you?
22304Betrothed-- to- night?
22304Bound for Londinium?
22304But there was a game? 22304 But who expects it to hold water again?
22304But why did he leave her?
22304But why?
22304Can we get him started, think you?
22304Can you tell me, friend, if there be an inn in this place where soft beds and good food may be found?
22304Canst tell us where dwells the worthy Tobias, worker in ivory to the Christian Church?
22304Changes? 22304 Child o''mine, dost think that thou couldst win a man?"
22304Child, are thy women always with thee?
22304Child, canst not see that my hands tremble, that I burn with fever, and am scarce master of myself?
22304Child, with whom didst thou play thy game in the garden?
22304Could he not have stayed always in the garden?
22304Could she win him?
22304Couldst even thou, O Silver- tongued, make of these great guzzling cattle a tale?
22304Did I not send you for the girl? 22304 Did she love him?"
22304Did they turn thee out from camp and town?
22304Did you have pleasant dreams?
22304Didst call me, or did I dream it? 22304 Didst thou see him who entered the women''s place by stealth to hold speech with thy mistress?"
22304Do you know what it is? 22304 Do you know, yourself?"
22304Do you not know the house of Chloris?
22304Do you not know? 22304 Do you, then, love him?"
22304Does it come hard at first, my sweet? 22304 Does my lord father love me?"
22304Dost know of any lord would have a fine stout serving- man?
22304Eh? 22304 Even now I am late--""For the maid who awaits thee?"
22304For these six months and more have not goods been coming to us from all the world?
22304For yourself?
22304Friend, who is this dainty warbler, and what the burden of his song?
22304From the north, you say?
22304Good youth, canst tell me where I am?
22304Ha, fair Julia, how art thou?
22304Had he his son, called Felix, with him, a cat- eyed rascal, who was wounded?
22304Harm? 22304 Hast ever held communication with the Lady Varia?"
22304Hast heard of what happened at Anderida?
22304Hast heard that thy lord father will leave Britain for Rome?
22304Hast seen these strangers, Wardo? 22304 Hast thou not a tale to tell to- night?
22304Hast thou played this game before?
22304Hast thou then been also upon the seas?
22304Hath he the privilege of trial?
22304Hath she spirit, fire? 22304 Hath the man a fit?"
22304Hath thy lady retired?
22304Have I ever broken faith with thee or any man?
22304Have I not eyes which have long hungered for thy beauty? 22304 Have I slept long?"
22304Have you arms in the house and slaves who can use them?
22304Have you heard, then, that Rome has again refused to send troops to our aid? 22304 Have you no gods?"
22304He is dead, is he?
22304He loved her?
22304He will give thee food and lodging, which thou wilt share with me-- so? 22304 How came they to know that he was here?
22304How come you to know these things?
22304How could I see?
22304How did he woo me? 22304 How didst find the way to Chloris?"
22304How fares my lady?
22304How knowest thou me?
22304How long have I been from the house?
22304How much, think you, human flesh and blood can stand?
22304How now, manling? 22304 How so?"
22304How will she know,Hito retorted,"when there be a dozen and odd to take her place?
22304How?
22304I am very stupid; but-- may, if he will, do what?
22304I think our backs could carry a goodly sum of gold, eh, friend? 22304 I?
22304If I am insolent, why choose me for your messenger?
22304If I pity not myself, why shouldst thou pity? 22304 If one has courage to do as one wills, and cleverness not to be found out, may not one do as one chooses?
22304If two people love, is not that enough?
22304If-- if you were she,said Nicanor, and his voice shook,"would you have told him?"
22304In what degree is he slave?
22304Is he dead?
22304Is he in the wine- shop of Nicodemus, or is he in the moonlight by the fords, telling his tales to those who crowd around him? 22304 Is he to be-- crucified?"
22304Is he your lover?
22304Is it a game?
22304Is it not he whom men called Nicanor? 22304 Is it not late for such solitary communing, sweet friend?"
22304Is it not right?
22304Is it that thou art ill to- night? 22304 Is it thus thou wouldst have me ask?"
22304Is my mind gone, that I should not know thee? 22304 Is not the old wound healing, even yet?"
22304Is there a change then, after all, in thee?
22304Is there a feast made in the house to- night?
22304Is there an end to anything upon the earth?
22304Is there-- is there aught that I could do? 22304 Is there?"
22304It is the first request I make of thee-- thou''lt not refuse it if I ask thee?
22304Lady Varia?
22304Leave Britain? 22304 Leave thee to face double punishment, mine as a runaway slave, and thine as his abettor?"
22304Must not all things be gathered to the shades? 22304 Nay-- I remember?"
22304No? 22304 Not know it?"
22304Not when our lord commands it?
22304Now what is this raving?
22304Now what is this? 22304 Now why give me lies like that?"
22304Now why should he put her away for doing what all good wives should do?
22304Now why should you ask these things, friend gossip? 22304 Now, who are you?"
22304Now-- woe is me!--all I can say is''Where art thou, Caius?'' 22304 Of how we met?"
22304Oh, God, is this Thy punishment for that I said my God was love? 22304 Oh, Varia?"
22304One who can carve, be it swine or human, skilled with sword or sling, who can drive a chariot, pair or single- span?
22304Our lives for his life, is it?
22304Perhaps a dancer, or maybe a mime, running away because your master misused you?
22304Perhaps you wait for some one?
22304Perhaps, then, this son Felix is still a guest of your lord?
22304Sada girl, am I drunk, that thou shouldst fill me with this madness?
22304See, then, is this how it is with thee?
22304Sent for you? 22304 She is not ill?"
22304Since the first day he saw me this hath hung over me-- and what can I do? 22304 So, Sada?"
22304So, it is he whom thou lovest?
22304So, thou strange beauty? 22304 So, thou?
22304So-- Nicanor, is it? 22304 So-- art thou, then, that teller of tales, whom men call Nicanor of the silver tongue?"
22304So? 22304 So?"
22304So?
22304So?
22304So?
22304So?
22304So?
22304Son, is all well with thee?
22304Suppose a word of mine should set me in his place?
22304Tell us, Varia, what thy lover hath given thee?
22304Tell us, cara,she said,"dost love him very much, this so masterful lover of thine?"
22304The lord Eudemius of the white villa south of Bibracte?
22304Think you that Ætius can spare us a legion again?
22304This be the street a Saxon man at Ad Fines named to me Eormen--"Ad Fines? 22304 Thou dost not remember?"
22304Thou hast played this game before, then?
22304Thou here, Momus?
22304Thou here?
22304Thou there with her, and I-- Tell me, man, was she hurt or frightened? 22304 Thou wilt?"
22304Thou, lad? 22304 Thou?"
22304Thy wife? 22304 Trouble?
22304Varia, dost know, child, what thou art?
22304Varia,he said, moved by an impulse born of what had gone before,"dost love thy father?"
22304Wardo, we two have been friends, have we not, ever since we put each the other to sleep with blows over the baker''s black- eyed daughter?
22304Was it for me you waited?
22304Was it his fault?
22304Was it not my life he saved? 22304 Were it not better to lose half rather than all?
22304What are you trying to do?
22304What can I do? 22304 What concern had they with it?"
22304What good may it do a man? 22304 What hast thou against him that his name sends thee squealing--""What against him?"
22304What hast thou?
22304What hath come to thee?
22304What hath seized him? 22304 What have I done that ye should bait me thus?"
22304What have we done save what we would do to any bride?
22304What have you to say about it?
22304What is happening?
22304What is this you say?
22304What is thy haste? 22304 What is wrong?"
22304What man?
22304What may the lords be pleased to want?
22304What mercy have they shown us? 22304 What more should there be?"
22304What need?
22304What quarrel is it of thine, my big ugly bear? 22304 What reason lies behind thy refusal?"
22304What use?
22304What will she say when she knows how a handmaiden of hers hath been disposed of?
22304What will you?
22304What would the world be without cattle, O Flower- maiden? 22304 What would you with a-- a-- little key?"
22304Whence come ye, from the mist? 22304 Whence come you?"
22304Where am I?
22304Where are you taking that?
22304Where didst find her, Eunice?
22304Where have I heard that name? 22304 Where have you been, child?"
22304Where''s thy plaything? 22304 Whither hath he fled?"
22304Who art thou, fellow? 22304 Who art thou?"
22304Who but knows the house of Chloris?
22304Who can know himself?
22304Who comes?
22304Who comes?
22304Who commanded it?
22304Who could dream that behind that iron mask of his there dwelt such affection, such store of human kindness?
22304Who could have thought she would take it so? 22304 Who could resist thee, lady mine?"
22304Who hath he here?
22304Who is it?
22304Who is it?
22304Who is the man? 22304 Who is the man?"
22304Who is this fellow?
22304Who is this man?
22304Who is your friend?
22304Who spoileth him?
22304Who told thee?
22304Who was Mary?
22304Who will go?
22304Why art thou here?
22304Why not I, as well as any man?
22304Why not Marius?
22304Why not?
22304Why now, how should I remember, my lord? 22304 Why put her away?"
22304Why should I be changed?
22304Why should I condemn thee?
22304Why should I tell you what I am?
22304Why should I, my lord?
22304Why should he do that? 22304 Why should we show mercy to them?"
22304Why should you hate it, if unworthy man may ask?
22304Why should you? 22304 Why shouldst thou?"
22304Why so long, girl? 22304 Why these tears, little wife?"
22304Why was I born?
22304Why will ye not let me be in peace?
22304Why, how can I tell?
22304Why, how may that be? 22304 Why, sweetheart, art hiding from me?"
22304Why?
22304Will Eudemius return with you to Rome?
22304Will it ever come to pass that Chloris, the greatly loving, will rejoice to know that there is one who pities her? 22304 Will you close that door?"
22304Will you let me play also?
22304Will you wait here, father, for me? 22304 Wilt let me tell thee of Him?
22304With a man didst thou play it?
22304Wouldst have that tale?
22304Yea; but how dost thou know of it?
22304You do not go willingly?
22304You do not know? 22304 You mean-- her misfortune?
22304You mean--?
22304You refuse to answer, do you? 22304 You sent for me, Lady Varia?"
22304You suppose?
22304You think, then, that we should fly from here?
22304You think-- that?
22304Your mistress? 22304 _ Deae matres!_ Am I not trying to stop?
22304_ I_ have done this thing?
22304_ Ora pro nobis!_Who was the Mary full of grace who could pray for one, to whom one could call as men called upon the gods?
22304''What religion have you?''
22304A handful of drunken barbarians-- what were these?
22304A tall figure blocked the open doorway, and a deep voice said:"What is the meaning of all this?"
22304After all, what did it matter?
22304After all, what doth it matter?
22304Ah, Nicanor, was it love that said thee nay?
22304Also he was powerless, unable to strike a blow in his own defence; and who would see that justice was done a slave?
22304Am I mad-- or do I dream again?"
22304Am I not a fool?"
22304Am I not always with thee, girl of my heart?"
22304Am I not loved, and have I not loved greatly?
22304Am I not thy friend?"
22304And I must find out-- what if I should pass and leave thee here?
22304And I, being well- nigh dazed with fear, had no better sense than to spring up, crying,''Where?''
22304And I-- what is there that I may say?
22304And Julius, watching him across the field toward the road, said:"Mark you how the boy hath taken to him?
22304And Varia, my son, how fares she?"
22304And almost in her ears, so close it seemed, a masterful voice shouted:"Where is that fat beast Hito who hath the keys?"
22304And his lady, what of her?
22304And how can I, his father, say these things of him, who should stand with him against all the world?
22304And is not that the end of them?"
22304And so-- and so-- what then befell this wicked man, son?"
22304And so--?"
22304And suppose he wanted not the gift; what would there be for him?
22304And that other voice, answering:"Nay, lady; what use?
22304And thou,--"she came closer to him,--"wilt thou come to- morrow and tell me tales?
22304And what is he to be punished for?
22304And what know you of love, little fool?"
22304And what was born to me?
22304And where were the stationarii, that they had not taken possession of the place in the name of the law?
22304And who decreed it so?
22304And why do I tell thee this, old man?
22304And why not a tale?
22304And why?"
22304And with all of this, have they not sought to force us to our knees before any new god they choose to perch upon a pedestal?
22304And yet, who would take thee, when there are others for the asking, as fair as thou and with none of thy defects?
22304Are thy words mere idle raving?
22304Are we not hand in glove with the great ones of the earth?
22304Are ye dreams, ye radiant ones?
22304Are you afraid, O great and worthy one, to stand forth and confess your wrong as any man would do?"
22304Are you, then, slaves?"
22304Art better?
22304Art thou also of the Welsh?"
22304Art thou that child?"
22304As for Nicodemus, know you what place his wine- shop is?
22304As it is-- what man would have her to bear him mindless brats?
22304Ay, truly, but how?
22304Boy, what earnest canst give that this thing happened so?"
22304But Eldris broke in fiercely:"Ye have heard-- ye have seen-- ye have thought-- but can ye give him back to me?
22304But afterwards?
22304But behind this, what is there?
22304But could we do this with the Gaels, who had nothing in common with us, whose meaningless rites could have no part in the beliefs of the commonwealth?
22304But how know you of what Wardo hath done?"
22304But know you how the man got his wound?
22304But make me strong very quickly, or I must go-- how can I stay when he so sorely needs me?
22304But she repeated stubbornly:"What is to be done to him this night?"
22304But should we not wait to hear from those of our colleagues who are absent, before we move?"
22304But then, poor child, how couldst thou help it, shut away in here where thou canst see never a man at all?"
22304But what need is there for such frantic haste?
22304But wherefore not?
22304But, my friend, how may the enemies of this lord Felix find him out when they know not where he is?"
22304By what right doth he tell us of what she says no mortal may know?"
22304Can it be that sometime in the future the dawn will break?"
22304Canst not see the girl is dead with cold and hunger?
22304Come, friend, art ready?"
22304Comrade, dost remember that when we say farewell here it will not be for to- day, nor to- morrow, but for all long time to come?
22304Dare I now?
22304Did ever any one love thee?"
22304Did ever man see the like of the nest of houses?
22304Did she know, by chance, that I must pass this way from her father''s rooms?"
22304Did she swoon or weep?"
22304Did the Africans tell me that the old man Marcus is dead?"
22304Did they indeed call him that?
22304Didst ever hear of that ancient sea- king who put too high a price upon his spoils?"
22304Didst find the girl?"
22304Do I not know thee, Julia the dancing girl?"
22304Do they not grind us into the earth; do we not pay in sweat and blood for their idle pleasures?
22304Do we not know them, in all their parts, far better than those of their own world could ever do, since we serve them?"
22304Do you know that for this you will be broken on the rack at the lifting of my finger?
22304Do you think your silence can save you?
22304Does he live still?"
22304Does he think that his guest will not be demanded of him by those whom that guest hath wronged?
22304Does not one always love those who are kind to one?
22304Dost hear that strange sound?
22304Dost hope that thou wilt be chosen, man- killer?
22304Dost know what this night''s work will bring thee?"
22304Dost know, sweeting, that had it not been for this knave Wardo, no great men nor little would have come upon thee?
22304Dost remember a game I was to teach thee once-- a game which two can play?"
22304Dost remember, before he went away from Thorney, how children ran from him, and even folk feared him and his gall- tipped tongue?"
22304Dost thou then love me?"
22304Dost understand, dear heart, what that must mean to thee and me?"
22304Dost understand?"
22304Dost wish to go home?"
22304Doth he think of me, whose thoughts are all of him?
22304Drunk again?"
22304Eh, sweeting, what sayest thou?"
22304Eh, thou black- headed slaveling, what miracle hast thou wrought?"
22304For Master Tobias rose from his stool and stood over him, and said:"Hast thou changed the design I made?"
22304For men will worship only that which is stronger than they-- and how wert thou stronger?
22304For this does he not deserve punishment?"
22304For what come they here?"
22304For whom had his keen eyes softened?
22304Girls, is this not sad to hear?
22304Good youth canst not skip that bit for peace''s sake, and get on to the next part?"
22304Ha, that makes thee squirm?
22304Had he killed the old man?
22304Had the relief from the mine been in time, and why were there no signs of them?
22304Has none sought you in marriage before?"
22304Hast ever felt dreams stirring at thy heart- strings like chords of faintest music?"
22304Hast heard of what befell our lord?
22304Hast heard that?"
22304Hast thou never thought what it might be to become as other women are?
22304Hast thought that what he will say will be through me?
22304Hast thought what will happen when she must come out?
22304Hath she not been here?"
22304Have I not riches beyond thine imaginings?"
22304Have you, you base- born clod, dared draw her attention to you, and she a noble''s daughter?
22304He knew that the hour had struck for him also in the great bell''s voice; was that prayer for his death among all others-- for his, the pagan''s?
22304He said:"Old man, how may you tell that I seek for what I can not find; and why would it be not well for me in Londinium?"
22304Hear you how my tongue waggeth?
22304Heard ever man the like?
22304Hearest thou that, old man?
22304Here, lad, what means all this?
22304His home is here-- why should he leave it?"
22304How comes it that you are in the service of the Torturer?"
22304How dare you enter here unbidden?"
22304How dare you put me and mine in jeopardy, girl, by thrusting yourself upon us?
22304How did he woo thee?
22304How did the woman know?
22304How did they capture him?
22304How didst stray so far from mother''s skirts?
22304How do I know these things?
22304How hath he escaped?
22304How hath it been with you?"
22304How long would it be before it pleased Marius to speak and snap the jaws of the trap upon him?
22304How may our lord be the worse for it?
22304How may this Emperor of yours be god as well as man?''
22304How may we know if this lad speaks true of that which comes to pass hereafter?
22304How much had been found out?
22304How should I tell?"
22304How should she know?
22304How then shouldst thou say what may or may not be done with thee, thou little toad?"
22304How then, if it be I, can it be thy faith?"
22304I am hard and cruel and calloused to the bone; yet were I not thus, in the name of the high gods, what should I be?
22304I beat my hands against the bars, and what doth it avail?
22304I can see that he writhes in torment; and his face-- what would his face be?
22304I have first a thing to do.--Nico, hath there been trouble of sorts on Thorney these last three days?"
22304I hope you do not think that I was there?
22304I know well that it was within her walls that thy trouble fell upon thee; but was she to blame for that?"
22304I must know-- how can I go further until I know?"
22304I should like to go to Rome, if it be anything like Londinium--""We go to Rome?"
22304I suppose your son goes with them?
22304I''ll have the story from Lady Varia; how may she withhold it?
22304I''ll see thou hast thy share--""What feasting?
22304If I do not fear a fangless serpent in the grass, why should I fear him?"
22304If he were to come and find me not there--""So, he will be a runaway also?"
22304If she had said that-- how could-- how could he have left her?"
22304If this were so, could not one go down into death, as one had gone through life, with a song upon his lips?
22304In mine ears was the wailing of the women in empty houses-- how knew I that my voice must cry among them?
22304In the name of the goddess mothers, what dost thou here at this hour?
22304In the name of the gods, what is one to do with a fellow who cares not the snap of his finger for any punishment I can devise?"
22304Is all well with thee?"
22304Is he trying, perhaps, to shield you?"
22304Is it a good game?"
22304Is it night?"
22304Is it not even thus with thee?"
22304Is it not rather placed upon the shelf and forgotten-- if, indeed, it be not flung upon the rubbish- heap?"
22304Is it not so, Sada?
22304Is it not so?"
22304Is it not so?"
22304Is it not so?"
22304Is it not the death he would have chosen, being man?
22304Is it the first time men have left your arms to discuss affairs?"
22304Is not this a long sight better than the work- room of that fish- faced brother Tobias?
22304Is she caught and brought back like a rabbit to the kennels of the hounds?
22304Is the fault yours?
22304Is there a rear door, even a very little one, of which you know where the key is hung?"
22304Is there more in this than I had fancied?
22304Is there no Christian priest here who will tell this man that I be safe from him in sanctuary?"
22304Is this a trick thou and thy mates have played upon me, to obtain my master''s gold?
22304Is this right?
22304Is this your God?"
22304Is what thou seekest there?"
22304Jupiter, best and greatest, Isis, Mithras, Astarte, Serapis-- what was one more or less in her pantheon?
22304Know ye the sting of brine upon your lips, and the savor of the salt winds in your lungs, O ye sons of Evor?"
22304Know ye the yell of the wind in the straining cordage, the heave and fall of the plunging deck beneath your feet?
22304Know you not the penalty visited on those who harbor fugitive slaves?"
22304Knowest thou his house?
22304Little one, tell mother; what thoughts hast thou when the night comes down and the wide earth hushes into drowsy crooning?
22304Loving him, wouldst thou not rather think of him with God than wandering lonely in the outer darkness?"
22304Man, how hast thou lived to tell it?"
22304Marcus muttered,"she, whose mind is water, where an image fades with the changing light?
22304Might a weary man purchase food, and a drop of wine, and perhaps a lodging for the night?"
22304Must I be turned away?
22304Must I stand over thee every hour in the day and switch thy hands for disobedience?"
22304Must it be so again?
22304My love, who didst die with a flower in thy hair and a smile upon thy lips, why is thy face so bright with triumph?
22304Nay, how should it heal when each day fresh salt is rubbed into it?
22304Nay, tell me, who is the man?"
22304Nicanor said:"Art thou Tobias, the ivory carver?"
22304Not drunk again?
22304Now what are they going to do?"
22304Now what to do with thee?"
22304Now where is this inn of yours?
22304O heart that camest through bitter waters, was it good to rest?
22304O strong hands that have wrought the work of men, why dost thou not answer to the clinging of my fingers?
22304O ye Elder Gods, would ye have been more kind than the One who hath torn him from me?"
22304Of Marcus?
22304Of how He was born in a stable, with wise men journeying from the East, bearing gifts of homage?"
22304Oh, what are you-- brute or man?
22304Once I fled to escape shame; shall I then seek that from which I fled?"
22304Once thou didst begin to tell of a youth who was poor and lowly, who lived in the country of the north--""Does she, then, remember that?"
22304Or had he perhaps already spoken?
22304Or is it the delusion of mine own imaginings?
22304Perhaps you know that the leader of that band of Saxons and those insurgent Romans, called Evor, was slain in that affair at Anderida?"
22304Presently, with his eyes closed, he said thickly:"You, Valerius?
22304Questions flew from mouth to mouth:"Who is this lord, their prisoner?
22304Rathumus said:"What hast been doing, boy?"
22304Said we not that I, Wulf, who brought thee hither, should have first choice?
22304Say, sweet one, wouldst thou not like this?"
22304Say, wilt thou love me, sweet?"
22304See now, if the door were opened, couldst thou escape from here?"
22304See, child of my heart, wouldst not be glad to have a tiny son of thine own, to love and play with?
22304Shall we go together?
22304She asked faintly:"Canst tell me, friend, where might be the wine- shop of one Nicodemus?"
22304She spoke drowsily, in a voice thick with sleep:"Hath the moon bewitched thee quite?
22304Should not all slaves stand together?
22304So-- thou thinkest to escape and fly from me?"
22304Speak as ye will-- what is it to me?
22304Strange, is it not, that in this house the only happy thing is the cause of all the sorrow that hath entered it?
22304Tell me then, first, how many men can your lord summon to-- let us say, protect this lord Felix when his enemies find him out?"
22304Tell me; have not your eyes seen changes, mental as well as physical, concerning which your lips have not questioned?"
22304That drew blood, did it?
22304That time after time, when its throes are on me, I have turned craven and begged Claudius for a potion to end it all?"
22304The stranger said, quite as though he had a right to know:"Son, art sure that it will be well for thee to go to Londinium?
22304Then Nicanor''s voice, keen and quiet, said:"Who calls?"
22304Then why should I not say it?
22304There fell a voice upon her weeping:"My daughter, what dost thou here?"
22304There was hardness, and small tenderness, in the firm jaw and the black keen eyes; but what Roman father could not condone such things as these?
22304Therefore why shall not others use like means?
22304They said:''Why should we worship one of whose powers we know nothing?
22304They urge that our lord go back with them to Rome-- wherefore, think you?
22304Think you that we go to Rome?
22304Thirty miles from Londinium?
22304Thou canst not credit such softness in me?
22304Thou dost not understand-- how shouldst thou?
22304Thou hast-- Is this thy raving?
22304Thou, who art so keen a judge of women''s beauty, who can pick and choose from among the fairest-- what hath bewitched thee, man?"
22304Though, in truth, as the offence is repeated by some one or other every day, he can have no excuse for--""Well?"
22304Thy face-- thy eyes-- have they changed also?
22304To see whom?
22304Turn rascal, even as you?
22304Very well-- punish Thou me, then-- what canst Thou do that matters now?"
22304Was I blind, that I could not see that thine is the triumph, over my passion and over me?
22304Was it a game in which a man held thee in his arms and kissed thee?"
22304Was it full of terrors, the terrors at which men hinted and dared not speak?
22304Was it lonely?
22304Were it not best to take him to the dungeons?
22304Were it not wise, O Chloris, to seek it while yet there may be time?"
22304Were thy law and my religion made for this, to wreak such woe upon those who follow them?
22304What are dreams but thoughts, and how can one think, asleep?"
22304What are you?
22304What can I do, a slave?"
22304What concern is this son Felix of yours?"
22304What could he do-- a slave?
22304What did he say and do?"
22304What did they when they came into the stable?"
22304What did we, therefore,--we, that is the Romans our fathers,--for the furthering of our purposes and for the glory which was Rome''s?
22304What do I care for the girl?
22304What else could be expected of thee?"
22304What else didst tell the girl?
22304What else?
22304What gods with any sense would live in such parts as these?
22304What had become of Varia?
22304What had become of his lord and his lord''s guests?
22304What had become of the invaders, and why had all living things so completely disappeared?
22304What had happened then?
22304What happened here?"
22304What happened?
22304What harm?"
22304What has Rome done to thee that thou shouldst not answer to her need?
22304What has passed between you?
22304What hath he done to deserve this?"
22304What hath he done?"
22304What hath love to do with it?"
22304What have they done to him?
22304What have you done now, that our lord''s favorite should give such orders for you?
22304What his name and station?"
22304What if I had yielded?
22304What if the mind be wanting, so long as the face is fair?
22304What if this also were to be known?
22304What is a Christian, save one who dealeth gently, liveth cleanly, giveth of himself?
22304What is it?
22304What is there in thy life which could have changed thee?
22304What is this love thou hast?"
22304What is this you would have me do?
22304What is to be done to him this night?"
22304What is working in thee?
22304What may she be doing here at this hour, without her women?
22304What mercy is there in this that He hath done?
22304What might it be about?
22304What now?"
22304What power didst hold over men that they should bow to thee?
22304What price wilt thou put upon him, O son of Evor?"
22304What say you to this, friend, if it chances that Marius himself is willing?"
22304What say you, sweetheart-- shall ours be short and therefore merrier?"
22304What she?"
22304What should I care that he had no gold-- have I found it such a blessing?
22304What visions hast thou seen, sonling?"
22304What was he?"
22304What will it avail thee-- freedom for two hours?"
22304What would God care?
22304What wouldst give to be in my place?
22304What''s all this?"
22304What, after all, was death?
22304When Master Tobias entered, Nicanor pointed to what he had done, and said:"Is not this a better way, good sir?
22304When didst leave the mines?
22304When had this thing happened?
22304When life was gay and careless, when wine was red and eyes were bright and faces fair, who would pause to give a thought to sorrow?
22304When men love, think you they make common talk of what they love?
22304When women love, keep they not themselves pure for love''s pure sake?
22304Whence come they, and who have been bidden to meet them?"
22304Whence come you?
22304Where are our troops?
22304Where can I go?"
22304Where hast been that thou didst not seek me?
22304Where is she now, that black- haired love of Hito''s?
22304Where shall we find it?"
22304Where then would be thy triumph?"
22304Wherefore dost desire it?
22304Wherefore?
22304Wherein did lie thy power?
22304Wherein did lie thy strength?
22304Whither take they him?
22304Who but the Mother of Jesus, the Little Brother of the World, sweet comrade of his black and bitter hour?
22304Who could not pity this?
22304Who gave permission to change?
22304Who had found the spell which would soothe his savage moods to stillness and unloose the flood- gates of his magic?
22304Who had known the strength of his arms?
22304Who had listened thralled to the silver speech which was all his?
22304Who had told her?
22304Who is the man, and what hath been his work?"
22304Who is thy lover, dear?
22304Who knows but that he may set his fellows on again?
22304Who may know freedom as do those who walk in chains?
22304Who paid the penalty?
22304Who reaped the benefits of this change?
22304Who slew him?"
22304Who told them?"
22304Who wants to we d a fool?"
22304Who was he?
22304Who would become sire to a race of idiots?"
22304Whom can you name so strong, so masterful, so-- well, so all that a girl would have?
22304Whose own mother could know him so?"
22304Whose was the name so sacred that even in sleep his lips could guard it?
22304Why canst not leave alone what thou dost not understand?
22304Why chose he thee instead of me?"
22304Why did he hold his hand?
22304Why does he not tell them he knows nothing, has done nothing?
22304Why dost thou weep?"
22304Why else?
22304Why should I have learned?
22304Why should I have sent for you?"
22304Why should I not?"
22304Why should not something of their wealth profit us?"
22304Why should they have all, these haughty lords, while we have nothing?
22304Why should this be?
22304Why should you be set in his place?
22304Why so keen to set me after her?
22304Why these tears at thy first venture into the world?
22304Why was he born in a stable, and what gifts did those wise men bring?"
22304Why, if the thorns be not strong enough to guard, should I not pluck the rose?"
22304Why, then, should my lord desire me for wife?
22304Why, then?"
22304Why?
22304Wife to thee?
22304Will he not scratch thee?"
22304Will it ever be that I shall understand, O Nerissa?"
22304Will you not tell me your name?
22304Wilt come, Nico?"
22304Wilt go with me?"
22304Wilt not come to bed, thou cruel girl?"
22304Wilt not tell me too a tale?
22304Wilt teach me also this other game?
22304Wilt thou deny?
22304Wilt thou not wake and take me?"
22304Would Mary pray for him; would the Little Brother bring him solace as in that bitter time before?
22304Wouldst not like to feel a round little head against thy heart, two so tiny hands opening the gates of all happiness before thee?
22304Wouldst not see two baby eyes lulled into sleep by thy drowsy crooning?
22304Wouldst understand?
22304Yet no bargain was ever offered without a''but,''and what goes with this bargain of thine, O friend?
22304You have bruised me, beaten me, because of what?
22304You told Chloris of her, then?"
22304[ Illustration:"''You sent for me, Lady Varia?''"]
22304_ Deae matres!_ What should I do that for?
22304by all the furies, what is this?"
22304he exclaimed in honest sympathy,"is it indeed thus with thee?
22304if he have not Christ within his heart as well as on his lips?
22304in you?"
22304it would be worth--""What is this thou sayest?"
22304she murmured, as though he were somehow deserving of all sympathy for this,"Didst ever wish that I had not been born?"
22304to my lord''s house?
22304what can I do against him?"
22304what hath love to do with it?
22304what wouldst say to know that for the lifting of a slave''s finger thou standest to lose what all thy gold could never buy thee back?"
