6002 | Do n''t know as I do-- yet it seems like I did too-- you hain''t been here in a long while, have ye? |
6002 | Do n''t you think I look like going on a journey, Grandy? |
6002 | Do you go to get yourself''a bite''? |
6002 | Do you know me? |
6002 | Do you know,she told Judge Harlow in the morning,"I did find some one who knows who I am?" |
6002 | Do you think you''d better risk it with me, Madame? |
6002 | Do you think,she asked,"that the Major would miss me, Doctor, if I went away a little while to find out about these things?" |
6002 | Do you, Grandy? 6002 Do-- do you h- happen to know--"I burst forth desperately,"if there''s really any such person as a-- a Miss Day?" |
6002 | Does that fire look real? |
6002 | Felicia,he said chokily,"will you try to remember something? |
6002 | Forfeits for Maman,she continued,"meant I had to play chess-- you do n''t play chess do you?" |
6002 | Hain''t he comical? |
6002 | Has she gone away, like Maman? |
6002 | Have n''t you any ancestors? |
6002 | Have you seen me in''The Juggler''? 6002 He always said I couldn''t-- but, do n''t you think I do in''The Juggler''?" |
6002 | How did you know? |
6002 | How much would you pay? |
6002 | How''d you make out Saturday? |
6002 | I could n''t find the man I wanted,she confided,"so I think I''ll just have to see the Judge Person, myself, would n''t you?" |
6002 | I do n''t look awfully old, do I? |
6002 | I just ca n''t, ca n''t, ca n''t give up their house-- oh, wherever could I put them all? 6002 I mean, I do n''t look so awfully old as I did, do I?" |
6002 | I mean, if there''s anything you need that you haven''t-- if there''s anything you want some one to tell you about-- now do you know? |
6002 | I''m going down for Mr. Alden''s tray,she announced primly,"if he should speak will you call me?" |
6002 | If she''s livin''here where''s her furnishings? |
6002 | If you''re so keen on helping my little lady why are ye no livin''here and paying her rent? |
6002 | Is Maman comfortable this morning? |
6002 | Is it your hous''? |
6002 | Is n''t it big enough? |
6002 | Is onybody livin''here? |
6002 | It was Felicia something or other-- sort of sad, was n''t it? |
6002 | It''s a nice room, three dollars a veek-- you vant to see it? |
6002 | It''s an actress- proof part, is n''t it? |
6002 | Maman, we were a little happy in the garden--she whispered,"were you happy in your garden?" |
6002 | May I ask whom? |
6002 | Miss or Mrs.? |
6002 | Monsieur,she said gravely,"does Miss Felicia know anything at all about all of us?" |
6002 | No manners, eh? |
6002 | No? |
6002 | Not living? |
6002 | Now whadda ye know about that? |
6002 | Oh, Oh,she cried,"Why did n''t you tell me that Maman had gone to the House in the Woods? |
6002 | Oh, did you see Grandy''s Louisa? |
6002 | Oh, where is Maman? |
6002 | Oh, you''ve talked with that scamp, have you? |
6002 | Ought n''t there to be a secrud pocket in it, m''loidy? 6002 Precious lamb, were you thinking to see your mother?" |
6002 | Real? |
6002 | She is not--"Not what? |
6002 | Sit down, ca n''t you? |
6002 | So the young lady sang a song asking''What''s this dull town to me? 6002 Sorry I was late,"she dumped various bundles on the counter,"How''d you make out, Susan?" |
6002 | Su- san--she called through the doorway,"have n''t we seen that woman somewheres? |
6002 | Tell me, where are you? |
6002 | That child-- why you hain''t she-- she would n''t be the matter of half your age-- you must be thirty- five or forty, hain''t ye? 6002 The ball,"she echoed regretfully,"I think I do n''t know about it-- what sort of a ball, was it, M''sieur-- a little tennis ball?" |
6002 | Thirsty? |
6002 | Try to understand, little one, she is gone-- neither you nor I can find her--"Nor the Major? |
6002 | Vell,he rasped,"Vat do you vant, madam?" |
6002 | Want me to try for him? |
6002 | We should be immensely gay when we''re working, should n''t we, Dulcie? |
6002 | We''re going to pretend something,she called to them softly,"Would you like to pretend? |
6002 | Well you must have an address, where do you live? |
6002 | What are you pretending? |
6002 | What do you think she is? 6002 What dog?" |
6002 | What is your name? 6002 What was you coming in for-- anything you wanted to buy?" |
6002 | What''s she paying? |
6002 | What''s the matter o''the storage bills? |
6002 | What? |
6002 | Whatever is it? |
6002 | Where are you now? |
6002 | Where is your dog? |
6002 | Where might ye be livin''? 6002 Where''s the seamstress?" |
6002 | Where,she thought,"Do persons get money?" |
6002 | Who are you? |
6002 | Will she be in the garden? 6002 Will you let him pretend with us?" |
6002 | Will you tell the druggist that I''d like to? |
6002 | Would you think the basement might be to let to a decent body? 6002 Yes, Portia Person, I will-- only, how will I know-- that I am in-- Trouble-- where is Trouble?" |
6002 | Yes? |
6002 | You must be sorry a great deal of the time, are n''t you? 6002 You must be there at eight o''clock in the morning, can you do that, Miss By- the- Day?" |
6002 | You vant to rent a room? 6002 All I know is that after she was dead and the Major brought Miss Octavia home--"Did you see Maman? 6002 And Felicia pretending that she is Molly''s mother? 6002 And ca n''t you almost hear the lovely Irish songs that Molly''s mother taught her? 6002 And did you ever see her doBattledore and Shuttlecock"to minuet time? |
6002 | And do you know, we were all such self- centered idiots, that it was n''t until after she was gone that we grasped what she''d done with us? |
6002 | And is it up- stairs?" |
6002 | And so Felice on her side of the gate could listen rapturously to the throaty drone in which Marthy asked the world"What''s this dull town to me? |
6002 | And that you''ll find me at Temple Bar, here in Brooklyn?" |
6002 | And you''d ask anybody you were trying to tell about her whether they''d ever heard Mademoiselle Folly whistle--"Did you? |
6002 | Are n''t you willing to say I can act now? |
6002 | Are these those clothes?" |
6002 | As soon as she can she''ll pay her own rent and she''ll pay another rent too, that''s vairee business like, do n''t you think, Dulcie?" |
6002 | Bolder than the rest, he coughed and let his desire overcome his temerity as he cried out,"Do you know-- er--''Ever of thee I am fondly dreaming''?" |
6002 | Burrel?" |
6002 | Ca n''t you see Dulcie buying the bags of creamy kalsomine and the brushes and Janet packing up her pails and scrubbing things? |
6002 | Ca n''t you see Felicia triumphantly bringing Mollyhome to look it over? |
6002 | Can you beat it? |
6002 | Can you beat it? |
6002 | Can you understand that? |
6002 | Did I say her employer was the angriest woman in the world? |
6002 | Did n''t you ever hear her whistle? |
6002 | Did n''t you know it? |
6002 | Did she know what judge she wanted to see? |
6002 | Did you? |
6002 | Did you?" |
6002 | Do n''t you know? |
6002 | Do n''t you think Thad''s cartoons of''Temperamental Therese''are peaches? |
6002 | Do you know enough to sew on buttons and mend stockings?" |
6002 | Do you know it?" |
6002 | Do you remember her smile? |
6002 | Do you remember how her wide green skirts spread about her as she made her deep curtsy? |
6002 | Do you remember how strangely familiar she seemed? |
6002 | Do you remember the chauffeur who promised Felice a"joy- ride"? |
6002 | Do you think it looks well on me?" |
6002 | Do you think you''d enjoy a French one now? |
6002 | Do you understand French? |
6002 | Does he live here?" |
6002 | Does n''t it look ugly down there? |
6002 | Each of them wanted to scream,"What''s happening? |
6002 | Ever hear of him? |
6002 | Felice came quite close to the footlights and peered at him,"Is it like this?" |
6002 | Felicia could hardly breath,"Did you see Octavia-- wasn''t she sweet? |
6002 | Have you references?" |
6002 | Have you some friend to whom you are going?" |
6002 | Her rasping voice came thinner and more peevish than it had twenty years ago but she called out just the same,"Well, what''s your business?" |
6002 | Honest, I like to hear her talk, she talks so comical-- but do n''t she look like the last rose of summer, now do n''t she?" |
6002 | How can you explain it?" |
6002 | How could she? |
6002 | How could she? |
6002 | I asked, quite awestricken,"How could she? |
6002 | I declare I ca n''t keep track of where you put things, Sarah-- is there anybody could use her? |
6002 | I do need that joy- ride just now, could you come for me?" |
6002 | I gasped,"_ You ca n''t mean that she was-- is-- Mademoiselle Folly?_""Mean it? |
6002 | I gasped,"_ You ca n''t mean that she was-- is-- Mademoiselle Folly?_""Mean it? |
6002 | I know how they tie in back so''s it wo n''t make me warm under my chin-- she told me-- look, is n''t this the way?" |
6002 | I mean that the little girl did? |
6002 | I shall be called Madame Folie-- no, Mademoiselle Folly-- will that suit? |
6002 | I should say that with the right kind of training you ought to go quite a long way: who knows?" |
6002 | I think I have to pay them something before I get my things, do n''t I, Dulcie?" |
6002 | I''ll call out,''Where''s my sculptor girl?'' |
6002 | I''m never hungry-- but what in the Jumping Jehosophat are you doing here?" |
6002 | I''ve looked and I ca n''t see it-- or is she in her bed yet? |
6002 | If he should call, do you mind taking it in?" |
6002 | If the furnishings is what she ree- presents and you''d conseeder takin''me in on shares-- I might conseeder--""Consider what?" |
6002 | Imitation? |
6002 | Indeed I think he never let himself remember those days in which the child had asked,"Where is she gone?" |
6002 | Is there some other one you know about?" |
6002 | It was in your offices for almost a year and you had it there at least two years before you wrote''The Juggler,''did n''t you? |
6002 | It was practical Margot who suggested casually,"Why could n''t you ask Mr. Burrel? |
6002 | It was this Louisa who was your mother''s mother-- now do you see? |
6002 | It''s my house, is n''t it?" |
6002 | It''s noon, everybody''s going out-- don''t you see?" |
6002 | Just this noon I says to her, pleasant enough, because I was short of help, would n''t she come down and wait on table, but would she?" |
6002 | Munition millionaires, that''s what I''m working for, can you beat it? |
6002 | Oh, do you remember the adorable way she took you into her confidence? |
6002 | One of the things Abelard loved about her was that she always knew what to do-- she was vairee good at administrating, like Janet, do n''t you think?" |
6002 | Or-- if anybody here knows her?" |
6002 | Rebuilding the garden was a sacred trust; had n''t Maman told her to do it? |
6002 | Rob- in''s not here--"or warbled heavily"Churry Ripe, Churry Ripe, Who''ll buy my churries--"or wailed"Where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy? |
6002 | Shall I tell you a secret? |
6002 | She said she was no scullery maid and slammed the door in my face and went back to her wet mud--""Oh, is she building a garden?" |
6002 | She stared unbelievingly at a quaint mahogany box, warily priced two or three other things and finally asked"how much for the damaged writing case?" |
6002 | She told me it was filled''with- an- abundance- of- weeds- we- have- not- any- names- for--''Was n''t that an absolute corker? |
6002 | She tucked her thimble in her pocket, folded her apron and asked,"Will you promise not to let her go till I get my hat?" |
6002 | She used to say, in the song,''Where have you been, Billy Boy, Billy Boy-- Where have you been, charming Billy?'' |
6002 | She would tap on the door, delicately, and ask in mincing imitation of the French woman,"Madame, will you see ze Major?" |
6002 | She''s to pay some girl''s rent for as long as she stays herself rent free, do you see? |
6002 | Suddenly her rapturous ear caught Dudley Hamilt''s resonant voice speaking,"Who is it?" |
6002 | Sure wid a couple o''hundred papers alyin''there they could n''t get through in no hurry now, could they?" |
6002 | That letter or the thick old parchments that told her that she was the great- great- granddaughter of a king? |
6002 | That my name is Ralph-- John Ralph? |
6002 | The one who did''The Spirit of Romance''? |
6002 | The only thing at which she balked at all was when the energetic person murmured,"Name please?" |
6002 | Then if it has been a mistake to put me on your program that will be a small joke, eh?" |
6002 | There''s a Mr. Alden with her-- will you come down?" |
6002 | Though the boy had ducked from view as suddenly as he had appeared he had managed to demand of the small person under the wall,"Who are you, girl?" |
6002 | Too much trouble to stand? |
6002 | Was n''t she darling-- didn''t you love her, love, love her?" |
6002 | We did n''t know the glory and the wonder of her until after she was gone--""She''s not--?" |
6002 | What do you think I hired you for?" |
6002 | What sort of a wonder was she? |
6002 | Where did you get that play, anyhow?" |
6002 | Where have you been, charming Billy?" |
6002 | Where is the garden? |
6002 | Which Felice repeated gravely to Grandy in the garden and added eagerly,"Were our ancestors poor but honest?" |
6002 | Which think you Felicia Day loved more? |
6002 | Who but Felicia could have shaken beauty from that first unlovely"by- the- day"? |
6002 | Why did n''t you come earlier?" |
6002 | Why did n''t you let me go with her? |
6002 | Why do n''t you feed people, Clara-- why do n''t you?" |
6002 | Why do n''t you find something that admits the audience has an imagination?" |
6002 | Why do n''t you make believe they''re all here?" |
6002 | Why do n''t you say what you''ve found out? |
6002 | Why do n''t you tell us something?" |
6002 | Will you tell him that you know I am?" |
6002 | Will you try to remember-- if-- if your mother goes away and you''re ever in trouble that you''re to come to see me? |
6002 | With the missing will and the dagger he stabbed her with?" |
6002 | Would it mind lifting a ladder for a poor woiking goil?" |
6002 | Would you come along for an hour or two to pacify him?" |
6002 | You did n''t mean to take it at first, did you? |
6002 | You see when Octavia went away from you she did not come here, she--""Where did she go?" |
6002 | You''re Dulcie, are n''t you? |
6002 | You''re no married?" |
6002 | You''re smothering them-- what is your business?" |
6002 | Your name is n''t Miss By- the- Day is it?" |
6002 | and the girls, calling down the kitchen tube,''Molly are n''t they through talking?'' |
6002 | he demanded sharply,"tell me quickly, who are you?" |
6002 | it''s home-- it''s really home--"Who shall say which of them won the greater triumph in those mad April days? |
6002 | now-- ain''t you?" |
6002 | she hugged a wee muff jealously to her breast,"You wo n''t, will you?" |
6002 | she hummed it over softly--"That''s the ticket,"he nodded;"do you know the words?" |
6002 | she made them even after she could n''t see for regular sewing--""Now ca n''t you remember me?" |
6002 | why are you weeping, Margot?" |
172 | And he followed you here? |
172 | Another one of your Huns? |
172 | Anything I can do for you? |
172 | Are n''t they rather dirty? |
172 | Are you all right? |
172 | Are you crazy about books? |
172 | Are you sure I wo n''t be intruding? |
172 | Are you sure? |
172 | Are you trying to kid me? 172 Bock, what are you doing in the yard?" |
172 | But if so, why the deuce would he advertise having done so? |
172 | But speaking of the Haunted Bookshop, what''s your special interest in that Oliver Cromwell book? |
172 | But suppose it''s charged? |
172 | Ca n''t I? |
172 | Can I get a room here? |
172 | Can I get a room here? |
172 | Carlyle''s Oliver Cromwell? |
172 | D''you want me to go and ring up a nambulance? |
172 | Dad works much too hard, do n''t you think? |
172 | Damn it,he cried,"what right has any girl to be as pretty as that? |
172 | Dear me,said Titania,"Is it so good as all that? |
172 | Dear me,she said;"Tarzan-- that''s all that nature stuff by John Burroughs; is n''t it? |
172 | Did Colonel House really write it? |
172 | Did he get it? |
172 | Did he leave his name? |
172 | Did he say who he is? |
172 | Did he steal it? |
172 | Did you ever notice how books track you down and hunt you out? 172 Did you have a quiet evening?" |
172 | Did you open the suitcase? |
172 | Do I have to finish it now? |
172 | Do n''t you think it will be rather interesting to get a naive young girl''s reactions toward the problems of our tranquil existence? |
172 | Do you hear me all right? |
172 | Do you know him? |
172 | Do you like to have a man popping in and out of the shop at all hours of the night, stealing books? |
172 | Do you understand? |
172 | Do you want to buy it? |
172 | For ME? |
172 | For heaven''s sake, have you a candle? |
172 | Go wrestling with girls, will you? |
172 | Good God,he said,"why did n''t you shoot?" |
172 | Have I got your name right? |
172 | Have n''t they written anything about the war that''s worth while? |
172 | Have you a copy of Carlyle''s Letters and Speeches of Oliver Cromwell? |
172 | Have you an appointment? |
172 | Have you anything of this sort with you? |
172 | Have you ever read any Gissing? |
172 | How about that reading aloud? |
172 | How about the Americans? |
172 | How am I going to sell myself to her? |
172 | How are you going to live on your wages if you do that sort of thing? 172 How is it, though, that libraries are shrines of such austere calm? |
172 | How on earth did you happen to have these in your pocket? |
172 | How the deuce was I to know you knew nothing about it? |
172 | Hullo, Mr. Mifflin,he called,"where are you?" |
172 | Hullo, hullo? |
172 | Hullo, is that Wordsworth----? 172 Hullo? |
172 | Hullo? |
172 | Hullo? |
172 | I beg your pardon,said the caller, pleasantly;"is this the proprietor?" |
172 | I hope she does n''t mind keeping the shop while we celebrate? |
172 | I hope you will let me help you this evening? |
172 | I read in an ad the other day-- perhaps you wrote that, too? |
172 | I suppose it would all make good advertising copy? |
172 | I suppose you refer to Whitewash and Gilt? |
172 | I wonder what he''s peeved about? |
172 | I wonder what the jinx is on this book? |
172 | I wonder why he wants it returned before midnight on Tuesday? |
172 | In my room? |
172 | Is it possible, sir,he began, in lucid Johnsonian,"that you can concoct so delicious an entree in so few minutes? |
172 | Is it there? |
172 | Is that Metzger? |
172 | Is that Mifflin''s Bookshop? |
172 | Is that so? |
172 | Is that so? |
172 | Is that so? |
172 | Is that you, Mr. Mifflin? 172 Is this the gentleman that arrived half an hour ago with a handbag?" |
172 | Is this the new guest? |
172 | Is to- morrow too soon? |
172 | It''s perfectly all right about sending Titania? |
172 | Look here, you would n''t go to a doctor, a medical specialist, and tell him he ought to advertise in papers and magazines? 172 Look here, you''re a bookseller? |
172 | Look here,he said,"I''m awfully sorry-- are you hurt?" |
172 | Look here,he said,"what does this mean?" |
172 | May I see it? |
172 | Me? 172 Miss Chapman?" |
172 | Musta hired it, hey? 172 On Monday?" |
172 | Perhaps it would bore her? |
172 | Perhaps the assistant chef stole it? |
172 | Rats? |
172 | Reading in bed? |
172 | Say, are you all right? |
172 | Say, did you see that swell dame he''s got clerking for him? |
172 | So he found it again, eh? 172 Speak up, Hindenburg, what''s the big idea?" |
172 | Suppose we go on reading, shall we? |
172 | Surely I locked the door? |
172 | Tell me, is everything all right? |
172 | Think you know who it is? 172 This is a queer kind of place, is n''t it?" |
172 | To buy it? |
172 | Tuesday being the day of stipend in these quarters? 172 Want something to read in bed?" |
172 | Want to run back for it? |
172 | Was he a little bald man with a red beard and bright blue eyes? |
172 | Was this the face that launched a thousand chips? |
172 | We HAD to beat Germany, or where would civilization have been? |
172 | Well, how do you explain the actions of this man Weintraub? |
172 | Well, how do you get your hands stained that way? |
172 | Well, how do you like bookselling? |
172 | Well, you swine,he said,"how did you enjoy falling downstairs the other evening? |
172 | Well,said Fruehling, his bright dark eyes sparkling above richly tinted cheek- bones and bushy beard,"what''s the argument?" |
172 | Well,said Roger,"did you have a good time?" |
172 | Well,said Roger,"these advertising agencies are certainly enterprising, are n''t they? |
172 | Well? |
172 | Well? |
172 | What are you doing in Brooklyn? 172 What are you talking about?" |
172 | What business has he got to leave you here all alone? |
172 | What devil''s business is this? |
172 | What did you say? |
172 | What did you think of the books I put in your room? |
172 | What do you suppose Mr. Mifflin would sell it for? |
172 | What do you think I am, a moving- picture hero? |
172 | What do you think of that? |
172 | What is it, Bock? |
172 | What is it, old man? |
172 | What is it, the Christmas Carol? |
172 | What name shall I say? |
172 | What nonsense, was n''t it? |
172 | What of it? 172 What on earth is it?" |
172 | What the deuce business is it of yours? |
172 | What the devil right has a girl got to look so innocently adorable? |
172 | What time did you say that was? |
172 | What time will the car be here? |
172 | What was the gist? |
172 | What was your particular interest in the Cromwell book? |
172 | What''s wrong? |
172 | What, with all these lovely books to read? 172 What?" |
172 | When are you coming home? |
172 | When does she want to come? |
172 | Where do you want me to carry the bag, miss? |
172 | Where has Mifflin gone? |
172 | Where has he gone? 172 Where have you been keeping yourself when I wanted to see you so badly? |
172 | Where was he? |
172 | Where were you going? |
172 | Where would you want it to go? |
172 | Where''s Roger? |
172 | Where''s that? |
172 | Where''s this suitcase of yours? |
172 | Who are you? |
172 | Who brought it back? |
172 | Who was the butler whose name was associated with the dish? |
172 | Who''s he? |
172 | Who, Mifflin? |
172 | Why did n''t you tell me all this sooner? 172 Why do n''t we postpone the dishes,"he said,"just to celebrate?" |
172 | Why do n''t you light your pipe? |
172 | Why would n''t advertising be the way to let them know? |
172 | Will you come in and have some cocoa with us? |
172 | Will you please call me a taxi? |
172 | Will you write my name in it? |
172 | With a revolver, eh? |
172 | Would you mind if I dusted them off a bit? |
172 | Yeh; did ya see that car in front of his place this morning? |
172 | Yes; who are you? |
172 | Yes? |
172 | You are open in the evenings? |
172 | You do n''t smoke in bed, do you? 172 You insolent pup,"panted Roger,"do you want any more?" |
172 | You''ll grant everything pointed against you? 172 : Wouldst thou both eat thy cake, and have it? 172 A female voice-- possibly Mrs. J. F. Smith-- cried outWhat''s that smell of burning?" |
172 | A man-- he knew now-- could fall in love in five minutes, but how did it work with girls? |
172 | A small boy cried,"Carry your bag, lady?" |
172 | And if they laugh and look happy, surely they''re amused?" |
172 | And what did Joe say to that?" |
172 | And what did he expect to see or do if he got inside the house? |
172 | And what have we now to compare with them? |
172 | Are you a librocubicularist?" |
172 | Behind every smiling mask is there not some cryptic grimace of pain? |
172 | Business, Aubrey said to himself, is built upon Confidence, and what confidence could Mr. Chapman have in such vagabond and romantic doings? |
172 | But WHY? |
172 | But do you get it there? |
172 | But how can any punishment be devised or imposed for such a huge panorama of sorrow? |
172 | But why should the shades be lowered with closing time three hours away? |
172 | By that I mean advertising that benefits your rival rather than yourself? |
172 | Did I tell you about it? |
172 | Did it ever occur to you that the world is really governed by BOOKS? |
172 | Did that refer to Mifflin? |
172 | Did you get a look at them?" |
172 | Do n''t you find that a visit to a zoo can humble and astound you with all that amazing and grotesque variety of living energy? |
172 | Do n''t you suppose the Germans thought they too were marching off for a noble cause when they began it and forced this misery on the world? |
172 | Do n''t you think there is a kind of parable there for the race as a whole? |
172 | Do you know Dickens''Christmas Stories?" |
172 | Do you know him?" |
172 | Do you know why people are reading more books now than ever before? |
172 | Do you think this is a joke? |
172 | Do you want to look at the paper? |
172 | Does a country grocer carry the same cigars that are listed on the wine card of a Fifth Avenue hotel? |
172 | Does any one do it? |
172 | FRUEHLING-- Did you ever consider the problem of what I call tangential advertising? |
172 | GLADFIST-- Still, old chap, you have to abide by the dirty little consideration of earning a living, unless someone has endowed you? |
172 | Gee, I wonder why they do n''t play that up in some real space? |
172 | Gilbert, have you got your memorandum?" |
172 | Gracious, man, are you so befuddled in your old books that you do n''t see what''s going on round you?" |
172 | Had I better put it in a safe place?" |
172 | Had everyone gone insane? |
172 | Had the girl been kidnapped while he overslept? |
172 | Have you ever come across Andreyev''s Confessions of a Little Man During Great Days? |
172 | Have you ever met a man without wondering what shining sorrows he hides from the world, what contrast between vision and accomplishment torments him? |
172 | Have you found that it pays? |
172 | Have you read Sassoon? |
172 | Have you seen it?" |
172 | He entered and bought a dozen white carnations, and then, as if by an afterthought, asked"Have you any wire?" |
172 | He was wondering how long it might take for a girl to fall in love? |
172 | He''s a duck, is n''t he?" |
172 | How about Bernhardi? |
172 | How about it?" |
172 | How could he explain? |
172 | How did you like Erewhon? |
172 | How do you dope it out?" |
172 | How was I to do this with dish- washing? |
172 | How was I to know she wanted The Blazed Trail?" |
172 | I am rather nervous about the experiment, but it is a compliment to the shop, is n''t it?" |
172 | I suppose you know you''re taking a human bombshell into the arsenal?" |
172 | I suppose you would say that it is no concern of the bookseller to try to increase the public appetite for books?" |
172 | I wonder if he and Weintraub go in for some first- edition faking, or some such stunt as that? |
172 | I wonder if that neighbourhood is a safe place for a girl to work in?" |
172 | I wonder if they give them The Lays to read in school nowadays? |
172 | I wonder what a German bookseller is like? |
172 | I wonder why? |
172 | I''d love to be a waiter, a barber, a floorwalker----""Roger, my dear,"said Helen,"why do n''t you get on with the reading?" |
172 | If a jam factory employs a trained chemist, why is n''t it worth a publisher''s while to employ an expert book analyzer? |
172 | If he really expected to get into Weintraub''s house, why had he not laid his plans more carefully? |
172 | If that is n''t an absurdity, what is? |
172 | Is any one hurt?" |
172 | Is n''t that noble? |
172 | Just mention my name to her, will you? |
172 | K.?" |
172 | Look here, here''s a copy of Tooke''s Pantheon----""What''s the idea?" |
172 | MEREDITH-- What do you mean? |
172 | Maybe you''re in politics, hey?" |
172 | Mifflin?" |
172 | Mifflin?" |
172 | My dear, what do you say to a glass of sherry all round?" |
172 | My dear, would it bore you if we had a go at the old Christmas Stories?" |
172 | Now what the deuce would that lunatic want to have it rebound for?" |
172 | Of what avail to flood the world with Chapman Chips if the girl herself should come to any harm? |
172 | Oldham?" |
172 | Or Latzko''s Men in War, which was so damned true that the government suppressed it? |
172 | Patrol the back yard all night? |
172 | Perhaps I can drop in on Monday when Mr. Mifflin''s away, and put coal on the furnace for you, or something of that sort?" |
172 | Remind me to lock it up somewhere, will you?" |
172 | Should he run downstairs and across the street? |
172 | Should he slink out of the house? |
172 | Some more of the eggs?" |
172 | Subway guards? |
172 | Surround a man with Carlyle, Emerson, Thoreau, Chesterton, Shaw, Nietzsche, and George Ade-- would you wonder at his getting excited? |
172 | Taxicab drivers? |
172 | The only question is, does it pay the man who pays for the ad? |
172 | Then why should it be either advertised or returned? |
172 | There are bound to be some-- who ever heard of a German without offspring? |
172 | There is no secret passage between Gissing Street and the laboratories of the Ritz?" |
172 | This bland, slick, talkative bookseller, was he arranging some blackmailing scheme to kidnap the girl and wring blood- money out of her father? |
172 | Were you coming to see Roger?" |
172 | What WOULD she think? |
172 | What are you and Weintraub framing up here in Philadelphia?" |
172 | What are you doing, giving the poor child a Chautauqua lecture? |
172 | What brings you to this distant outpost?" |
172 | What business is it of yours? |
172 | What damnable complot was this? |
172 | What do you make of that?" |
172 | What does it matter if Wordsworth wrote sentences almost as long as those of Walt Whitman or Mr. Will H. Hays, if only he wrote a great poem? |
172 | What had been happening across the way? |
172 | What is it that we find in every form of life? |
172 | What on earth was he to do? |
172 | What right had I to shirk in a quiet bookshop when so many men were suffering and dying through no fault of their own? |
172 | What would Mr. Mifflin say if he knew you had been breaking into his house and frightening me half to death? |
172 | What would happen to a cat if she had to live in a room tapestried with catnip? |
172 | What would he have said of the four- year shambles we have watched with sickened hearts? |
172 | What would you think of a base public that would go past my shop day after day and let the high- minded occupant die of starvation? |
172 | What would you think of a physician who saw men suffering from a curable disease and did nothing to alleviate their sufferings? |
172 | What''s he doing, taking her joy- riding?" |
172 | What''s the idea?" |
172 | When I saw that guy go into the shop with his own key, what could I think but that you were in league with him? |
172 | When did a bookseller ever make any real contribution to the world''s happiness? |
172 | Where are you?" |
172 | Where''d he go at?" |
172 | Who do you suppose it was?" |
172 | Who ever heard of a German without a dachshund?" |
172 | Who knows? |
172 | Whom can I curse, whom can I judge, when we are all alike unfortunate? |
172 | Why do n''t you come with us to the movies?" |
172 | Why not make dish- washing my balm and poultice? |
172 | Why should n''t they make both?" |
172 | Why( for instance) had he not made some attempt to find out how many there were in the household? |
172 | Will you forgive me?" |
172 | Wo n''t you come out and dine with me in the country this evening, and see my things?" |
172 | Wo n''t you stay and have supper with me? |
172 | Would he have been attacked if he had not taken the book cover from the drug store? |
172 | Yes-- do you remember when Pomona and Jonas visit an insane asylum on their honeymoon? |
172 | You are not hoaxing me? |
172 | You must have watched some infinitesimal red spider on a fence rail, bustling along-- why and whither? |
172 | You remember my telling you that Mr. Chapman wants to send his daughter to work in the shop? |
172 | You say Mifflin has gone out to see your father? |
172 | You say your man is a second- hand bookseller?" |
172 | You see those children going down the street to school? |
172 | You want to wash your hands? |
172 | [ 2] NOTE WHILE PROOFREADING: Surely this phrase was unconsciously lifted from R. L. S. But where does the original occur? |
172 | and in the meantime, what was he to do? |
172 | cried Mifflin, in agitation,"you have not heard of Samuel Butler, the author of The Way of All Flesh? |
172 | said Titania sharply,"what are you doing?" |
