6457What will you have conjectured?
6457What would she say should evidence be imperfect or wanting, and they should acquit her?
6457What?"
6457When the servants were gone, the duke asked me if anybody might write a letter to the king?
6457When will some occasion offer to bring me back- not my revenge, but my first and most coveted satisfaction?
6457When will the work come out for which she was, she says, chass � e de la France?
6457Who, however, could have expected such prompt admission?
6457Why did you not bring her with you?
6457Why does he not burn half?

6457hey, mon petit monsieur?
6457hey?
6457how will she be content to be a monitress, where she will find everything in useful life to teach, and nothing in return to learn?
6457it matters not; but who knew that circumstance when they played truant?
6457let us speak upon a grave subject: do I see you that morning?
6457no one wears more than one!-- Stays?
6457or is each waiting a happy moment to strike some definitive stroke?
6457or only form the skeleton?"
6457she cried:"I am vastly glad to see you again and how does your little boy do?"

6457who can rejoice?
6457who made it you, mamma, or little aunty?"
6457why, how can he so encumber himself?
6457with double the emphasis, repeated the young princess, now sitting down and taking him upon her knee;"and how does M. d''Arblay do?"
6457you are really, then, well?--really in Paris?-- really without hurt or injury?
6457you knew that infamous woman?"
6042( 232) He looked extremely provoked, and asked if I really meant to inform him I did not choose his company? 6042 ( 362) Need I say this was Madame de la, Fite?
6042( 368)PRAY, will you tell me,"said Mrs. Crewe, drily,"what you mean by the people?
6042A comedy?
6042A design upon me?
6042A little, sir?
6042A shake?
6042Ah, ma''am-- is there no language but of words? 6042 Altered, is he?"
6042And can he ever look pleasant? 6042 And can this man,"cried he, presently,"this man-- so gentle--- be guilty?"
6042And can you,I cried, fixing him,"can you have so much compassion for one captive, and still have none for another?"
6042And has he done it?
6042And how, for heaven''s sake?
6042And if it does,cried Mrs. Crewe,"what is it to us?
6042And if you could so love him,cried I,"knowing him only in a general way, what would you have felt for him had you known him at Streatham?"
6042And in the Little park?
6042And is it essential,cried I,"that they should so run them through that nobody can understand them?
6042And is there no dispensation?
6042And now, poor Stanhope,cried the duke,"give another glass to poor Stanhope, d''ye hear?"
6042And now,I continued,"shall I tell you, just in the same simple style, how I have been struck with the speakers and speeches I have yet heard?"
6042And now,cried he, making us all sit down again,"where are my rascals of servants?
6042And pray what was it?
6042And pray, Mr. Turbulent, solve me, then, this difficulty; what choice has a poor female with whom she may converse? 6042 And pray, ma''am, what food have they in winter?"
6042And pray,quoth I to James, when he told me this,"did you not say the honour of an audience?"
6042And shall I tell you,I added,"something in which you had nearly been involved with him?"
6042And was it my spinning?
6042And what do you think of Miss Fuzilier?
6042And what is it has saved you?
6042And what was that?
6042And what,cried he, laughing,"do you say to that notion now you see him?"
6042And what,cried he,"has your father got, at last?
6042And what,he asked,"shall you do?"
6042And when?
6042And where do you wait?
6042And where? 6042 And who bin he?"
6042And why not?
6042And why,cried he,"do you speak so low?
6042And why?
6042And why?
6042And will the chancellor speak to adjourn?
6042And you wish,he cried,"to hear me?
6042Are you approaching,I cried,"to hear my upbraidings?"
6042Are you preparing,he cried,"for a campaign?"
6042Are- are you feverish, ma''am?
6042But better?
6042But can you speak seriously,cried he,""when You say you know nothing of this business?"
6042But did you see nothing-- remark nothing there? 6042 But do I use it?"
6042But for what is your man to have it, when it is mine?
6042But have you, yourself, ma''am, no curiosity-- no desire to see Colonel Wellbred?
6042But how,cried I,"could you stand?"
6042But how,cried he,"do you give up, without deigning to assign one reason for It"?
6042But how,cried he,"do you stand the fiery trial of this Streatham book that is coming upon us?"
6042But how,cried he,"have I incurred your upbraidings?"
6042But in the Little park?
6042But pray, ma''am,very gravely, how did it happen?
6042But the real use of a fan,cried he,"if there is any, is it not-- to hide a particular blush that ought not to appear?"
6042But what was it?
6042But what,cried I,"was the occasion that drew you forth?"
6042But will you not, at least, tell me your reasons for this conduct?
6042But would he, if guilty, have waited its chance? 6042 But you have not seen much of him?"
6042But, at least,I said,"I hope what I hear is not true, though I now grow afraid to ask?"
6042But, surely you must have read the charges?
6042But,cried he,"can you not bid somebody watch?"
6042But: pray, now, Colonel Wellbred, tell me sincerely)--could you really make out what I was singing?
6042By auction, Sir? 6042 By your father?"
6042Can nobody,he cried,"let you know when they are coming?"
6042Come hither, do you hear?
6042Come, Miss Burney,cried the queen,"how are your spirits?-- How is your voice?"
6042Corrigà © e? 6042 Could you imagine I should miss your conversation, your ease, your pleasantness, your gaiety, and take no notice of the loss?"
6042Did I bring you here?
6042Do you see Scott?
6042Do you?
6042Do you?
6042Does Miss Burney know Latin?
6042Entertained?
6042Fanciful, Sir?
6042Give me, then, your promise,--your solemn promise,--at least I may claim that?
6042Good heaven, Mr. Turbulent, what can induce you to say this?
6042Have I?
6042Have they indeed?
6042Have you not heard of yourself?
6042Have you read two?
6042Have you, then, still,cried he,"the same sentiments?"
6042Have you,cried I,"heard all thus far of the defence, and are you still unmoved?"
6042How can that be,cried he,"when you never contest any one point with her?"
6042How do you do, Captain Burney?
6042How do you do, sir?
6042How is it all to be?
6042How nervous I am?
6042How should he,cried I,"look otherwise than unpleasant here?"
6042How,he cried,"are You?
6042How?--by not answering when spoken to?
6042I can not,he said,"stop now, but I will come again; however, you know it, perhaps, already?
6042I know it,cried he,"and what do I care?"
6042I must fairly, then, own myself utterly ignorant upon this subject, and-- and-- may I go on?
6042I thought he meant to leave us to- day? 6042 I understand,"quoth I,"there is a great dearth of abilities in this new Assembly; how then should there be any variety?"
6042In disgrace?
6042In my parlour? 6042 Indeed, what you have seen of him have you then so much approved?"
6042Is he here, then?
6042Is it not true?
6042Is the defence to go on long, and are they to have any evidence; or how?
6042Is the king, ma''am,he cried,"there?
6042Is the queen here?
6042Knock him on the head?
6042Ma''am,cried he,"you have a brother in the service?"
6042May I,I said,"go yet a little farther?
6042May I,he cried,"come in?--and- for an hour?
6042May one?
6042Me?
6042Me?
6042Me?--no, not INo?--what, nothing?"
6042Men have no fans,cried he,"and how do they do?"
6042Mr. Turbulent,cried I,"will you be satisfied if I tell you it shall all blow over?"
6042My help?
6042My name? 6042 No offence, I hope, sir?"
6042No, I hope not; I hope you have no wants about my miserable speaking?
6042No, no, I do n''t mean that;--but why ca n''t we have our waitings month by month?--would not that be better?
6042No? 6042 No?
6042No? 6042 None of them, ma''am?"
6042Not mean it?
6042O How can I,cried she, in a voice of distress,"when already, as there is company here without me, Mrs. Schwellenberg has asked me what I came for?"
6042O, Mr. Windham,cried I, surprised and pleased,"and can you be so liberal?"
6042O,cried he, very unaffectedly,"upon the French Revolution?"
6042Of leadder, sir?--of leadder? 6042 Once,"he answered,"I said a few words--""O when?"
6042Perhaps,cried I,"your friends conclude you have music enough in your three months''waiting to satisfy you for all the year?"
6042Pray, Mr. Turbulent,cried she, hastily,"what play are you to read to- night?"
6042Pray, then, madam,cried he,"if French plays have the misfortune to displease you, what national plays have the honour Of your preference?"
6042Shall I leave the poem,he cried,"or take it with me, in case there should be any leisure to go on with it to- morrow?"
6042Shall I tell you,cried I,"a design I have been forming upon you?"
6042Should you like to know him, ma''am?
6042So then,cried Colonel Goldsworthy,"there are twenty good people in the world?
6042So you meant, ma''am, to have had a breed of them,cried Colonel Goldsworthy;"a breed of young frogs?
6042Surely,she cried,"you may wrap up, so as not to catch cold that once?"
6042Tell me,I said,"and honestly,--should we be overturned in the boat while out at sea, what would prevent our being drowned?"
6042The Lords, however, I suppose, must come?
6042Then what business have they to get into my bed, ma''am? 6042 Then, sir,"very angrily,"how Come you by it?"
6042Thraldom?
6042To be sold? 6042 Unmoved?"
6042Vell, sleeps he yet with you--Colonel Goldsworthy?
6042Well, I think it will be, for I know they correspond; and what should he correspond with her for else?
6042Well, Miss Burney,cried the first,"what say you to a governor- general of India now?"
6042Well, and is that a good voice?
6042Well, but pray, now, what do you call my voice?
6042Well, but would not that be better than what it is now? 6042 Well, but,"cried he laughing,"may I find a fault?
6042Well, ma''am, it''s all Colonel Wellbred, I dare say; so, suppose you and I were to take the law of him?
6042Well, ma''am, what say you to all this? 6042 Well, well,"cried he,"that may be some compensation to you, but to us, to all others, what compensation is there for depriving you of time?"
6042Well,he cried, in our way to the chair,"will there be war with Spain?"
6042Well,quoth I, to make a little amends,"shall I tell you a compliment he paid you?"
6042Well?
6042What is it all to the shame and disgrace of convicted guilt?
6042What news?
6042What will you do, my good colonel?
6042What you mean by going home?
6042What''s the matter? 6042 What, in his foot?"
6042What, ma''am!--won''t you give him a little tea?
6042What, then, have not you heard-- how Much the king has talked? 6042 What?--hey?--How?"
6042When did he come back?
6042When the Duke of York came yesterday to dinner, he said almost immediately,''Pray, ma''am, what has Miss Burney left You for?'' 6042 When will he come to the point?
6042When you do n''t not see them? 6042 Whether or not,"quoth I,"I am heartily glad he has not done it; why should he seem so dismal, so shut out from hope?"
6042Who is it?
6042Who is it?
6042Who?
6042Why then, ma''am, what business had it in my bed? 6042 Why, how must I do it?"
6042Why, like when he was so cordial with you? 6042 Why, then, I''ll try myself-- is it so?"
6042Will he stay on to- night, then, at Worcester?
6042Will you give me leave to inquire,quoth I,"one thing?
6042Will you, at least, promise I shall be present at the meet--?
6042Yes, I''ll tell you,cried he; but again he stopped, and, hesitatingly, said,"You-- you wo n''t be angry?"
6042Yes, Indeed; gentle even to humility--"Humility? 6042 Yes, Yes,"cried he, precipitately,"how else shall I go on?
6042Yes, and who can wonder? 6042 Yes, ma''am, and I have been very much hurt by it: that is, if your majesty means anything relative to myself?"
6042Yes, ma''am, upon my speaking,-but why did you keep Me so long in that painful suspense?
6042Yes, you,--and for what, I say?
6042Yes,I answered, shuddering at this new scene for her"should I tell her majesty your royal highness is here?"
6042Yes,said he;"I was singing with Colonel Wellbred; and he said he was my second.--How did I do that song?"
6042Yes-- but the shame, the disgrace of a flight?
6042You are an Etonian, Mr. Bryant,said the king,"but pray, for what were you most famous at school?"
6042You are certainly, then, afraid of him?
6042You are going,she cried,"to church?--so, am I. I must run first to the inn: I suppose one-- may sit-- anywhere one pleases?"
6042You are never, then( I said afterwards),"to speak here?"
6042You believe not?
6042You conclude,cried he, looking very sharp,"I shall then be better steeled against that fatal candour?"
6042You do n''t take it ill, I hope, sir?
6042You do not, however, call that virtue, ma''am-- you do not call that the rule of right?
6042You have?
6042You think,cried he,"''tis bringing a fresh courser into the field of battle, just as every other is completely jaded?"
6042You tired!--what have you done? 6042 You will come, however, to hear Burke?
6042You-- you are not well, ma''am?
6042Your majesty, sir, knows General Conway? 6042 ''A drunken man?'' 6042 ''Gone?'' 6042 ''La Coquette''is your royal highness''s taste?
6042''Left me?''
6042''Tis indeed a dread event!--and how it may terminate who can say?
6042''What do you put them there for?''
6042''What for?
6042''Yes, it''s at full length in all the newspapers: is not she gone?''
6042''Yes, they say she''s gone; pray what''s the reason?''
6042( 283)"Cui Bono?
6042( 314) In the evening, Lord Courtown, opening my parlour door, called out,"May one come in?"
6042( 336) But is it possible, sir, that your daughter has no holidays?
6042( 362)"Is it possible?
6042--And who will repine at that?
6042--Must I teach it you,,--teach it to Miss Burney who speaks, who understands it so well?--who is never silent, and never can b silent?"
6042A little while after,--"Did he go away from you early?"
6042A lively"How d''ye do, Miss Burney?
6042After a short vindication of his friends, he said,"You have never heard Pitt?
6042After some general talk,"When, ma''am,"he said,"am I to have the honour of introducing Colonel Wellbred to you?"
6042After such averseness to a meeting-- such struggles to avoid him; what am I to think of the sincerity of that pretended reluctance?"
6042Afterwards he asked what his coat was, whether blue Or purple; and said,"is it not customary for a prisoner to come black?"
6042Again a little ashamed of herself, she added, rather more civilly,"For what should you have that trouble?"
6042Almost breathless now with amaze, I could hardly cry,"Do I?"
6042Am I so happy?
6042And have you heard nothing more?"
6042And is it not a curious scene?
6042And some time after the queen could not forbear saying,"I hope, Miss Burney, YOU minded the epilogue the other night?"
6042And then came his heroic old homage to the poor eyebrows vehemently finishing with,"Do you, can you affect to know no language but speech?"
6042And then, fixing her with the most provoking eyes,"Est- ce la Danemarc?"
6042And then, seeing her blush extremely, he clasped his hands, in high pretended confusion, Page 27 and hiding his head, called Out,"Que ferai- je?
6042And what, ma''am, has Colonel Wellbred done to merit such a mortification?"
6042Are we going to lose you?"
6042Are you strong?
6042At last he asked me if anybody was likely to come?
6042At the door of my new old room who should I encounter but Mr. Stanhope?
6042Been you acquainted?"
6042Beurni que je vois?
6042But I wonder what he says of everybody?"
6042But he would give me no satisfaction; he only said"You refuse to receive him, ma''am?-- shall I go and tell him you refuse to receive him?"
6042But just before we quitted the walks I was run after by a quick female step:--"Miss Burney, do n''t you know me?
6042But still, why begin with Colonel Wellbred?
6042But the heaviness of heart with which we began this journey, and the dreadful prognostics of the duration of misery to which it led us-- who can tell?
6042But then a difficulty arose as to where?
6042But this morning, while her hair was dressing, my royal Mistress suddenly said,"Did you see any body yesterday?"
6042But what are they to think of this delay?
6042But what will follow?
6042But what will not prejudice and education inculcate?
6042But what, you will say, has a tea- drinking party to do with a botanist, a man of science, a president of the Royal Society?
6042But when the dinner came I was asked by the prà © sidente,"What for send you gentlemen to my parlour?"
6042Ca n''t he come out?"
6042Can I call her by another name, loving that name so long, so well, for her and her sake?
6042Can Mr. Hastings appear to you such a monster?
6042Can You then be so unnatural as to prosecute him with this eagerness?"
6042Can you allow me entrance and room for that time?"
6042Colonel Manners asked me if I had not heard something, very harmonious at church in the morning?
6042Could I then be sorry, seeing this, to contribute my small mite towards clearing, at least, so very wide a mistake?
6042Could even his prosecutors at that moment look on-- and not shudder at least, if they did not blush?
6042Could he not have chosen any other place of residence?"
6042Did she imagine I should answer"For your society, ma''am"?
6042Did you ever hear a more perfectly satisfactory examination?
6042Do I see my dear Miss Burney?"
6042Do n''t you think so?"
6042Do you not think, Miss Planta, the Prince of Wales and Prince William would have been quite enough for Miss Burney?
6042Do you pretend to think there is no other?''
6042Do you really want rest?"
6042Do you rob, sir?
6042Do you take what is not your own, but others'', sir, because your man is frightened?"
6042Do you think I heard such a testimony to my most revered and beloved departed friend unmoved?
6042Do you think there can be any harm in giving it now?"
6042Equally amazed and provoked, she disdainfully asked me what I knew of him?
6042Fairly again; but, before he entered into any narrations he asked"DO you expect Sir Lucas?"
6042Fairly again?"
6042Fairly here to- night?"
6042Fairly is here to- day?
6042Fairly then asked Dr. Fisher what they were to do?
6042Fairly was here, then?"
6042Fairly will ever marry again?"
6042Fairly''s designs with regard to his going away?
6042Fairly''s voice, saying,"Is Miss Burney there?
6042Fairly, laughing,"to dine with you?"
6042Fairly, pointing to my work- box, said,"Shall I read a little to you?"
6042Fairly,--perhaps to show himself superior to that little sally,--asked me whether he might write his letter in my room?
6042Fairly;"they would have come to you, I promise you; and what could you have done-- what would have become of you?--with Prince William in particular?
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?"
6042Fairly?--Why did he not tell it me?"
6042For what not go to the gentlemen?
6042For what wo n''t you not marry him?"
6042Has he never tasted happiness, who so deeply drinks of sorrow?
6042Hastings?"
6042Have I mentioned them?
6042Have you ever happened to see any of his writings?"
6042Have you not heard he spares nobody?"
6042He appeared to me in much perturbation, and I thought by his see- saw he was going to interrupt the speech: did you prevent him?"
6042He asked me whether I had walked out in the morning?
6042He assured me he was quite well-- as well as he had ever been in his life; and then inquired how I did, and how I went on?
6042He comes upon his defence; ought he to look as if he gave himself up?"
6042He did; adding,"Do you not like to sit here, where you can look down upon the several combatants before the battle?"
6042He shrugged his shoulders, and walked away; and Mr. Smelt, smiling, said,"Will you give us any?"
6042He stared a little, but I added with pretended dryness,"Do any of you that live down there in that prosecutor''s den ever sleep in your beds?
6042He started, and cried with precipitancy,"Do you mean me?"
6042He then asked me if I had heard Mr. Grey?"
6042He then said,"Have you done with my little book?"
6042He wanted to hear more particulars: I fancy the Willises had vaguely related some:"Did he not,"he cried,"promise to do something for you?"
6042Heavens!--did they ever, unsummoned, quit it?
6042Her majesty inquired of me if I had ever met with- Lady Hawke?
6042Her majesty was much surprised to hear he was again out so unexpectedly, and asked if he thought of going to Gloucester?
6042His face?"
6042Hogentot?"
6042How could this man be a soldier?
6042How d''ye do?"
6042How is that; have you it, as you Ought, at your own disposal?"
6042How should he know anything Of the matter?
6042How will you have it sold, Sir?
6042I asked another good woman, who came in for some flour, if she had been of the party?
6042I asked him if he thought a life of uselessness and of goodness the same thing?
6042I asked if he could yet let them have beds to stay, or horses to proceed?
6042I asked if she did not stay tea?
6042I begged him to follow, and we were proceeding to the dressing- room, when I was stopped by a gentleman, who said,"Does the queen want anybody?"
6042I both believed and applauded him so far; but why) Page 59 are either of them engaged in a prosecution so uncoloured by necessity?
6042I could hardly stand this, and, to turn it off'', asked him if Mr. Hastings was to make his own defence?
6042I could not help saying rather faintly,"Has he?"
6042I courtsied, and wondered more, and then a surprised voice exclaimed,"Do n''t you know me?"
6042I entreated to know why such a change?
6042I heard it, however, again,--and the queen called out,"What is that?"
6042I hope you are quite well now?"
6042I inquired how it was all to end-- whether this reading was to continue incessantly, or any speaking was to follow it?
6042I inquired if he pursued his musical studies, so happily begun with Colonel Wellbred?
6042I inquired of Miss Herschel if she was still comet- hunting, or content now with the moon?
6042I inquired of her if she had seen the royal family when they visited Devonshire?
6042I ran off to another scene, and inquired how he had been amused abroad, and, in particular, at the National Assembly?
6042I then mentioned how kindly he had taken his visit to him at Lichfield during a severe illness,"And he left you,"I said,"a book?"
6042I ventured then to ask if yet I had been named?
6042I was in my inner room, and called out,"Who''s there?"
6042I was not quite prepared for the interrogatory, and feared she might next inquire when and where I had seen him?
6042I was the other day at a place to see Stuart''s Athenian architecture, and whom do you think I met in the room?"
6042Is it so?
6042Is not this a charming trait of provincial popularity?
6042Is not this a fit bishop''s wife?
6042Is that a form of law?"
6042Is this explicit?
6042July 2.-What a stare was drawn from our new equerry(238) by Major Price''s gravely asking Mrs. Schwellenberg, after the health of her frogs?
6042Let her tell her own story, and how will it harm us?"
6042MAY"ONE"COME IN?
6042Mademoiselle votre fille n''a- t- elle point de vacance?
6042May I not justly call it so, different as it is to all the mode of life I have hitherto lived here, or alas I am in a way to live henceforward?
6042Might one not think he was bred in the cloisters?
6042Mr. Bunbury laughed, but declared he would not take the hint:"What,"cried he,"if I lose the beginning?
6042Mr. Windham; would you wish me in future to take to nothing but lions?
6042Mrs. Crewe hastily and alarmed interrupted him, to inquire what he meant, and what might ensue to Mr. Crewe?
6042Must she not, in company as in dancing, take up with those Who choose to take up with her?"
6042My dear ma''am, why do you stay?--it wo n''t do, ma''am!
6042My dearest friends,- I have her majesty''s commands to inquire-- whether you have any of a certain breed of poultry?
6042Need I more strongly than this mark the very rare pleasure I received from his conversation?
6042O, who could succeed there?
6042Page 18"But what can he say, ma''am?
6042Page 254"Know what?"
6042Page 28"Not till you have answered that question, ma''am''what country has plays to your royal highness''s taste?"
6042Page 341 I found, however, they had already met, probably in the passage, for the queen added,"How melancholy he looks, does not he, princess royal?"
6042Page 41"But how did I do it, Wellbred; for I never tried at it before?"
6042Page 440"But do you not think Mr. Law spoke well?"
6042Page 467"Pray, sir,"cried she,"what''s o''clock?"
6042Page 58"Nay,"cried I,"could I well be quicker?
6042Page 70"For what, then,"cried a stern voice behind me,"for What go you upstairs at all, when you do n''t drink coffee?
6042Pray does he know any Of your secrets?
6042Pray, have you all drunk his majesty''s health?"
6042Shall I bring him to the Lodge to see you?"
6042Shall I tell the colonel- to bring one?"
6042She asked if he should not return to Brighthelmstone?
6042She asked me a thousand questions of what I thought about Miss Fuzilier?
6042She asked me, somewhat curiously, if I had seen any of my old friends?
6042She called to her aid her religion, and without it what, indeed, must have become of her?
6042She inquired of me if my father was still writing?
6042She leaned her head forward, and in a most soft manner, said,"Miss Burney, how are you?"
6042She soon inquired what answer had arrived from Mr. Francis?
6042She spoke at once, and with infinite softness, asking me how I did after my journey?
6042Shepherd?"
6042Should I drive him from me, what would pay me, and how had he deserved it?
6042Some time after he suddenly exclaimed,"Have you-- tell me-- have you, ma''am, never done what you repent?"
6042Soon after, a voice just by my side, from the green benches, said,"Will Miss Burney allow me to renew my acquaintance with her?"
6042That''s your calculation, is it?"
6042The king asked me what had been doing at Westminster Hall?
6042The moment I joined them, Mrs. Schwellenberg called out,--"Pray, Miss Berner, for what visit you the gentlemen?"
6042Then he said he would not, and cried''Who are you?''
6042Then turning gaily to Mr. de Luc,"And you, Mr. de Luc,"he cried,"are not you, too, very glad to see Miss Beurni again?"
6042Then, turning to me,"What am I to say, ma''am?
6042There''s no such thing as pretending to measure, at such a distance as that?"
6042They all exclaimed,"Is he here?"
6042This morning, when I received my intelligence of the king from Dr. John Willis, I begged to know where I might walk in safety?
6042Thither I went, and we embraced very cordially; but she a little made me stare by saying,"Do you sleep in your old bed?"
6042Till you spoke could I know if you heeded it?"
6042True, she must die at last, but who must not?
6042Tuesday, June 19.-We were scarcely all arranged at tea when Colonel Manners eagerly said,"Pray, Mrs. Schwellenberg, have you lost anything?"
6042Upon my vord!--how come you to do dat, sir?
6042Was it not a curious scene?
6042Was it not a most singular scene?
6042Was it not a strange business?
6042Was not all the world before him?
6042Was not this agreeable?
6042We all began race talk, but Mr. Turbulent, approaching very significantly, said,"Do you want a chair On the other side, ma''am?
6042We all looked round;--but Colonel Goldsworthy broke forth aloud--"Civil, quotha?"
6042We talked all these matters over more at length, till I was called away by an"How d''ye do, Miss Burney?"
6042We then came back again to books, and he asked us if we had read a little poem called the"Shipwreck"?
6042What are you all so slow for?
6042What could I do?
6042What is the news?"
6042What say you to Mr. Turbulent now?
6042What say you to now?
6042What say you, then,"cried he,"to Pitt?"
6042What was that for me?"
6042What was the skeleton?
6042What will you give me, fair ladies, for a copy of verse, written between the Queen of Great Britain and your most small little journalist?
6042What, when it had my name upon it?
6042When he had done he looked earnestly for my answer, but finding I made none, he said, with some concern,"You wo n''t think any more of it?"
6042When he had written a few lines, he asked if I was very busy, or could help him?
6042When she was gone, he took up the book, and said,"Shall I read some passages to you?
6042When they retired, Mrs. Schwellenberg exclaimed,"For what not stay one night?
6042When they were within a few yards of me, the king called out,"Why did you run away?"
6042Where are all my rascals gone?
6042While we were examining the noble pillars in the new room, I heard an exclamation of"Est- ce possible?
6042Who could tell to what height the delirium might rise?
6042Who has liberty, le peuple, or the mob?
6042Who was so captivated as myself by that extraordinary man, till he would no longer suffer me to reverence the talents I must still ever admire?
6042Who, after that, can repine at any inconvenience here for the household?
6042Why Page 112 do you not ask me when I was at the play?
6042Why are you so cruel to all around-- to them and their readers?"
6042Why do n''t YOU give champagne to poor Stanhope?"
6042Why should he contribute his humble mite to your triumphs?
6042Why, then, how came you to receive the news about his death?"
6042Will you hear a criticism, if nothing of another sort?"
6042Will you tell me, once?"
6042Would you know what my title is derived from?
6042Yet how, at such a time, prevail by persuasion?
6042Yet nothing I could say put a stop to"How can you defend her in this?--how can you justify her in that?""
6042Yet, not having power to be very amusing after all this, I was sternly asked by Mrs. Schwellenberg,"For what I did not talk?"
6042You did not treat Colonel Goldsworthy so?"
6042You fix, then, upon''La Coquette?''
6042You know what Johnson said to Boswell of preserving fame?"
6042You know what it is to skate a man down?"
6042You may suppose I had inquiries enough, from all around, of"Who was the gentleman I was talking to at the rails?
6042You might bear it when you like it?
6042am I to tell Colonel Wellbred you hesitate?"
6042and are you not merely swayed by party?
6042and have I not a curious fellow traveller for my little journeys?
6042and how I liked the last opera?"
6042and where did you find that?"
6042and whether I was more comfortable?
6042and which way could it be worth while?
6042are they to suppose it requires deliberation whether or not you can admit a gentleman to your tea- table?"
6042are you stout?
6042as he held the door in his hand,"Will there be any-- impropriety-- in my staying here a little logger?"
6042bin you Much amused?
6042can that face ever obtain an expression that is pleasing?"
6042can you go through such scenes as these?
6042cried I, amazed and provoked;"when did I do what could never be done?"
6042cried I, as I entered it--"is this little room for your majesty?"
6042cried I;"do you ever sleep?"
6042cried he earnestly;"personally, do you know him?"
6042cried he, emphatically;"shall I be moved by a lion?
6042cried he, good- humouredly;"what need you care?
6042cried he,"clear, forcible?"
6042cried she, seriously; and then he made way, with a profound bow as she passed, saying,"Very well, ma''am,''La Coquette,''then?
6042cried she, somewhat deridingly:"know you not you might sleep here?"
6042cried they;"what part of the palace?"
6042cried- he, starting back"what am I to say that you denounce such a forfeit beforehand?"
6042d''ye hear?
6042did you observe him?
6042est- ce l`a la libert`e?"
6042exclaimed I,"the judges!--is it possible you can enter into such a notion as to suppose Mr. Hastings capable of bribing them?"
6042have you forgot Spotty?"
6042have you forgot her?"
6042have you the wardrobe to part?
6042have you-- you tired?
6042he repeated, in a tone that seemed to say-- do you not mean Mr. Burke?
6042he repeated,"what do you mean?"
6042how have you been entertained?"
6042is it you?"
6042is not here primitive candour and veracity?
6042is she alone?"
6042not a little?--not a little bit better?"
6042not the other day?"
6042nothing but that poor thing at Chelsea?
6042only You two?"
6042or have they any wish to enlarge their range of visit?
6042or what would he have called us?
6042run and see, do you hear?"
6042said Mr. Burke, dryly;"why not this coalition as well as other coalitions?"
6042shall I call him up?
6042she cried;"are you not a little better?"
