45657Are n''t we going to have some tea, Betty dear, now our surprise party is over?
45657But Betty wo n''t be keeping boarders herself, will she? 45657 But have n''t you, Betty?"
45657But you wo n''t be taking Esther away from me, Herr Crippen?

45657Do n''t you think we owe anything to Nan as a member of our Camp Fire circle?
45657Do you mean we are really not far from the Country Orphan Asylum?
45657Does your foot hurt worse than it did? 45657 From an unknown admirer, Rose?
45657Give up making their Camp Fire play a success?
45657How much do you owe, dear?
45657I believe it never rains but it pours,she said a little mockingly;"but what about the snow?
45657I have been wondering if you would care to have me?
45657I wonder what it feels like to want to steal?
45657I would n''t have forgotten if it had been one of my girls,she apologized, and then more coldly,"Wo n''t you come into the house?"
45657It has nothing to do with me, has it?
45657My dear Rose, whatever has happened to you?
45657Ought n''t you to have it then, Rose, and let the Sunrise Camp Fire girls just come in and look at it now and then?
45657Please do n''t tell anybody what I have just said?
45657Polly,she whispered softly,"do you think we ought to drive up to the cabin taking this fellow with us like this?
45657So you wanted to see how much of a fool you could make of me, did n''t you, Mollie? 45657 We have caught the enemy and he is ours now, Betty, dear, but whatever are we going to do with him?"
45657What is it, Tony?
45657What is it, dear?
45657What made you want to take my jewelry, Anthony?
45657What makes you feel things wo n''t be different for you and that your mother will go back to work?
45657What on earth is the matter with you, Esther Clark?
45657What-- what shall I begin with?
45657Where did you two people find one another? 45657 Where is Esther?"
45657Whose ever can he be and how has he found his way to our cabin?
45657Will you please leave me for a little while?
45657Will you please tell the whole story as slowly and as clearly as you can, Herr Crippen?
45657Wo n''t you let me lend you the money for your chance?
45657Would you-- would you think it very foolish if I tried Juliet''s speech before she takes the poison?
45657You do n''t mean to say they will have nothing?
45657You will go with Esther when she has to leave Woodford?
45657You wondered about me; then you knew about_ me_?
45657A sudden fear clutched the girl''s heart-- would things ever be quite the same again; did life ever repeat itself in exactly the same old way?
45657And that this child, who has been so ill she will require a great deal of care, is actually to arrive this afternoon?
45657And the man?
45657Are not my babies orphans, with no mother and a father that has not even food to give them?"
45657Besides, if we do cut him loose how do we know he will not seize your box away from us?"
45657But Herr Crippen, unhappy man, was this the way that love affected the emotional German temperament?
45657But did n''t you have a baby brother or some one long years ago----?"
45657But, then, who can tell when they are both so young?"
45657Ca n''t you just let her live on with me and come and see her whenever you like?"
45657Dear me, I wonder what the trouble is and why Esther and I should be privileged to attend this romantic meeting?
45657Did Esther''s face for a fleeting instant show surprise and almost alarm?
45657Do n''t you think the best thing would be somehow to joke the whole idea out of her?
45657For this very reason had she not always been more ambitious for her friend than Esther had seemed for herself?
45657Give a man a black name-- I say, Nan,"he broke off suddenly,"could n''t you lend me some money, say five dollars or so?"
45657How could she ever wish to leave her home and mother, to leave_ her_, to follow after such a will- o''-the- wisp?
45657How do you feel, Polly dear?
45657I must go away, there is noding else and how can I carry the little ones, one under each arm?
45657I wonder if anything ever happened to make Dick more serious than other young men?
45657I wonder if anything happens to break the Princess''will whatever will become of her?"
45657I wonder if you have ever tried to steal anything before?"
45657I wonder if you know this legend?
45657I wonder what in the world he can want with us at this time of the evening?
45657I''ll call them back again to comfort me.-- Nurse!--What should she do here?
45657If we only are able to get out of it successfully, why-- why, wo n''t Polly be envious?"
45657Is n''t this like a story book?"
45657It has been hard upon you perhaps, but is n''t it better that one person should suffer than that a number should be made unhappy?"
45657It is nice to be sorry when the deed is done, is n''t it?
45657It was odd, Betty thought, why Rose should take Miss McMurtry''s love affair so seriously and what could there be in it to trouble over, anyhow?
45657No, it is n''t my foot, it is only that I have gotten myself into a new difficulty and I want to ask you what you think I had best do?"
45657Oh me, oh my, and it''s a queer world, is n''t it?"
45657The little half- sick girl was plainly alone and plainly dreadfully homesick, but with whom could she be talking?
45657Then I thought I heard some one singing, calling, perhaps it is you?"
45657There was only one way by which Polly could silence her twin and that was to inquire if Mollie meant always to stay at home, to remain an old maid?
45657Was ist es in English, genius, nicht wahr?"
45657What could have happened to bring a human being to their cabin at such an hour?
45657What did she know of Herr Crippen, his past, what he had seen, where he had traveled in the forty- five years or more of his life?
45657What if this mixture do not work at all, Shall I be married, then, to- morrow morning?
45657What in the world is troubling you, child, and how did you get into this house and upstairs without my knowing?"
45657What is it that is troubling you this time?"
45657Who on earth would I mention such a silly thing to anyway?
45657Why on earth did n''t some one speak?
45657Why, please, should you now look as if you had lost your last friend on earth?"
45657Would her father and mother never be back?
8662Are n''t you a little ashamed, Princess, thinking of the character of our ceremony this evening, not to be willing to be present? 8662 Betty, ca n''t you think of a name for me?"
8662Betty,a young man''s voice inquired reproachfully,"are n''t you even glad enough to see me to say hello?
8662But not afraid of asking me?
8662But, Betty, do you know who has started this Camp Fire idea in Woodford and who knows just what we ought to do?
8662Camp Fire Girls?
8662Camp Fire maidens, what are we thinking of? 8662 Can you imagine such a prim, scientific old maid ever understanding anything of the beauty and romance of life in the woods?
8662Did you throw the stone?
8662Do fire- makers have songs?
8662Do you mean, Princess, that you do not intend to invite the girl who told you about the Camp Fire Club, Esther Clark? 8662 Do you think, Polly, that this is really a good plan of Betty''s?"
8662Elizabeth Ashton, more commonly known as''The Princess,''Bettina or Betty, will you kindly explain yourself? 8662 Farmer?"
8662For goodness''sake, Esther, what is the matter?
8662Gracious, what person?
8662Great Scott, Meg, what are you doing only half- dressed at this hour of the day?
8662Has n''t Betty returned, Dick?
8662Has n''t your mother told you of my coming? 8662 Have you seen anything of Polly?
8662How can any one named Martha escape being a Martha? 8662 I have n''t done anything; what do you want with me?"
8662I should love it more than anything in the world; would you mind asking your mother if I may? 8662 I wonder if you would like me to recite the fire- maker''s song?"
8662I wonder if you would mind taking my place this afternoon, Esther?
8662I wonder what it feels like to be useful?
8662It is a part of our Camp Fire education to study the stars, is n''t it? 8662 It is getting pretty late, Polly, do n''t you think we had better get back to camp?"
8662Just you and Polly and me; what fourth girl do you mean?
8662May I tell you my name now?
8662See what you think of this, Esther?
8662Tell me, Polly dear,she whispered,"who is that girl with whom Betty is now talking?
8662The greatest thing in the world?
8662To- morrow?
8662We are camping here and we would rather not have visitors, so would you mind going back the way you have come?
8662Well, that is no particular reason why you should not be her friend as well, is it? 8662 What has to- morrow, got to do with it?
8662What is this you''re making, Ester?
8662What is your song?
8662What on earth is the girl afraid of? 8662 What right had you to say she could come, Polly O''Neill, when you understand that we like to keep our Council Fires to ourselves?"
8662Where is Miss McMurtry?
8662Where''s Betty?
8662Why did n''t you join me, you wicked children?
8662Why, Nan Graham, what do you mean by coming out here so late?
8662Wo n''t you confess, please, that it is rather a nuisance having Esther Clark in the tent with us? 8662 Would you mind telling us what you were doing with Betty Ashton''s keys the other afternoon and how you happened to get hold of them?"
8662You are going to include that hateful child in your Camp Fire Club after what I said to you, Betty?
8662You are wearing your bead chains, are n''t you?
8662You do n''t care for Esther, do you?
8662You do n''t know what I want to talk about, do you, Princess? 8662 You?"
8662Ah, is anything ever perfect in this life?
8662And just because this poor Nan has one story against her, do n''t you think we ought to be especially careful about adding another?"
8662Besides, had she and Molly not been born on the thirteenth, naturally fitting the date to her star?
8662Betty asked,"since you have been appointed official guardian by the headquarters in New York?
8662Betty''s money had certainly disappeared and some one must have stolen it; if not Nan, then who else?
8662But ca n''t I do something for you now?
8662But if you deny it, why--""Why what?"
8662But then how could she, for Sylvia Wharton apparently had not listened and certainly had never taken her eyes from Polly''s face?
8662But who are the Camp Fire Girls; what are the Camp Fire Girls; are they Indians or Esquimaux or the fire- maidens in''The Nibelungen''?
8662CHAPTER VI THE LAW OF THE CAMP FIRE"Esther, wo n''t you repeat the Law of the Camp Fire for the girls?"
8662Do n''t you think we ought to call Mollie,''Sinopa,''when it means''Little Sister''?"
8662Do the maids in this house actually expect me to build my own fire?
8662Do you think we would so fail to commemorate our greatest statesman?
8662Esther, will you find her for us?"
8662Had fortune been kinder to her than to other girls, kinder than to the awkward girl in front of her in her plain gray linen dress?
8662Have I mentioned anybody''s name or proposed any mortal thing?
8662I never hate Polly, do I Mary?"
8662I wonder if I shall ever be able to repay her?"
8662I wonder why they ca n''t leave you alone after business hours?
8662If I happen to be interested in this Nan Graham and to believe that things have been made pretty hard for her, is it anybody''s business?
8662Is it just because Mary does not know what to do with you and Mollie that she wo n''t go away?"
8662Is n''t one of the Camp Fire ideas to learn to put the happiness of a good many people before our own personal desires?"
8662It is all right for me to give the girls the rings, is n''t it, Miss McMurtry, after they have repeated the law to you?"
8662It is different when one has been poor, is n''t it, Esther?
8662It is to be war and not peace then, is n''t it?"
8662It is true that Betty had left her keys out on the table, but I do n''t see what Nan could have wanted with them?"
8662Lying alone on her couch Betty wondered why?
8662Please tell me what you think?"
8662She was wondering if a single week in camp had really begun to reform her spoiled Betty and if it had, had any change also been wrought in her?
8662Was there ever such an infant born into this suffering world?
8662What is the greatest thing in the world?"
8662What is the next greatest thing to love?"
8662What should be done?
8662What silly mood do you suppose has overtaken her?
8662What will Polly say when you and she have planned the whole ceremony?
8662While Betty and Polly were friends there was apt to be peace among all the girls in camp, but if they should disagree?
8662Who could have supposed her capable of developing so much of an idea?
8662Why did not Polly get up and make this announcement at once?
8662Why do n''t you look like Betty Ashton, she''s always up to the limit?"
8662Why do you make me responsible when you know Miss McMurtry and most of the other girls are just as opposed to having her with us as I am?"
8662Will you, wo n''t you, will you, wo n''t you be a Camp Fire Girl?"
8662Work this summer has seemed like play, has n''t it?
8662Would you mind, Miss Martha?"
8662Would you rather I should go away?
8662You are sorry too, are n''t you, Nan?"
8662did n''t she ask you if you wanted me to come?"
33532Besides, if I ever should develop such a foolish idea, who do you think would buy my silly little pictures, except perhaps Mrs. Burton? 33532 Billy Webster, I wonder if you are a coward about every mortal thing?
33532Billy,he added,"you will agree with me, wo n''t you, that pretty nearly everybody is saying the same thing these days?
33532But have n''t you any people of your own, or any close friends?
33532But how is it possible that Gerry could have written? 33532 But my son will live?"
33532But suppose when Tante returns we inquire why we are to wait over in Los Angeles a few days more? 33532 But what are you going to do?"
33532But what do you mean, Felipe? 33532 But what is the exact work the English girls are doing?"
33532But what_ has_ happened?
33532But wo n''t you tell me, now that the draft has been ordered and your number called, how are you going to manage to escape? 33532 But you, Sally, what on earth could you do that would be useful in France?"
33532Do you remember the story of Ruth in the Bible? 33532 Do you think we should speak of our plan immediately?"
33532Does any one know_ why_ we are_ not_ to start east tomorrow as we planned?
33532Give a play out here in this semi- wilderness? 33532 Have the girls the same attitude toward you, Peggy, because of your interest in Ralph Marshall?"
33532I believe the punishment is very severe, is it not?
33532I declare, Mollie, this is the old world, not the new, is n''t it? 33532 I have not been in the West very long, and it is sure enough God''s country?"
33532I know, dear, and yet how could one do more than Billy has done? 33532 I suppose I ought to say I am sorry, if that is what you wish, Tante?
33532I wonder if you realize, Miss Williams, that we have seen each other before tonight, probably about ten days or more ago? 33532 I wonder why I have entrusted my fate to you in this fashion?
33532I wonder why the automobile has not caught up with us?
33532I wonder, Gerry, why you decided so suddenly that you wished to study art?
33532Is n''t it pretty dangerous what you are planning to do? 33532 Is there an organization anything like our own Camp Fire girls in France?"
33532Is this a conspiracy or rebellion, or a plot?
33532Is this the vaunted freedom of the American girl? 33532 Is this your opinion alone, or the opinion of all the Camp Fire girls?"
33532May I call you my lieutenant, although Marta Clark will dispute the title? 33532 Nevertheless, wo n''t you_ please_ tell us what you think, Sally?"
33532Shall I sing to you in Spanish now?
33532Shall we walk about your garden for a little?
33532Then we may help the soldiers in any way we like?
33532Then you are in absolute sympathy with our having entered the war, Lieutenant Carson?
33532Then you could be brave for my sake?
33532Then you forgive me?
33532Then you saw all seven of us at Capistrano?
33532Then you think peace brings the great mass of the people better fortune than war?
33532Then, why wo n''t you tell me what is interesting you, Billy? 33532 Were you wearing Mexican costumes?
33532What authority have you for such a statement, Sally?
33532What do you think Tante will decide, Mother?
33532What has he done?
33532What is it, Peggy? 33532 What should be the matter?
33532What will be done to Felipe as a punishment for having tried to escape the draft?
33532When are we going to have a meeting together somewhere off to ourselves?
33532Why did you do it?
33532Why is everybody so serious?
33532Why is my Sister Peggy sounding taps or a reveille, since at present it is neither morning nor night?
33532Will it be many hours, Doctor?
33532Will you please waken Vera and Peggy? 33532 Would n''t it be great if each man who has pledged his life to serve his country would do some deed which would_ save_ life instead of_ taking_ it?"
33532You are determined to dwell upon our great age tonight, are n''t you, Mollie mine? 33532 You are intending to say good- by to me tonight then?"
33532You are not worrying over anything, Gerry?
33532Am I falling down on my part?
33532And even if he did do this, was it in him to make a good soldier, to sacrifice himself for a common cause?
33532And why should it be imperative that he make his confession tonight?
33532Are you not well?"
33532Burton?"
33532Ca n''t something more be done?
33532Did you think so when you made us the visit?
33532Do n''t you think Mr. Morris and you also, Gerry, can persuade Felipe''s judges to view the situation in this light?
33532Do n''t you think she and Felipe are still hiding in Mexico?
33532Do n''t you think they would form a comfortable background for our tea party?
33532Do you intend making a business of it some day?
33532Do you think they will ever allow American girls to work behind the lines?"
33532Does not sound like play, does it?"
33532Have you ever heard from your wounded lieutenant, Bettina?
33532How could she acknowledge her own intention and Felipe''s without betraying Felipe''s secret?
33532How soon must you begin your training, Felipe, and do you think you will be in a camp near your home?"
33532I do n''t see why raising beans can not be considered war work?
33532I must think the question over?"
33532I wonder how far socialism would have traveled if men had never fought for their rights and the rights of other people?
33532If anything happens, if Felipe is kept in prison for a time, what do you intend to do?"
33532If it were possible would she not drive over to the ranch in her automobile and bear Sally safely back to camp?
33532If they had do you suppose men would have continued fighting one another forever?"
33532If what he wished to say had to do with their future happiness, why had he looked so disturbed?
33532If you are caught wo n''t you be imprisoned?"
33532Is it where I see the little row of lights?
33532Is n''t there anything else you can do, if this one exemption claim fails?"
33532Is the accident serious?"
33532It is only this, Mother, do n''t you see that Billy and I can not both remain with the Camp Fire party this summer?
33532It was like me to do the right thing in the wrong way, was n''t it?
33532Often Billy wondered how he should feel if the war lasted long enough to make the same demand upon him?
33532Once in a hurried moment behind the scenes Mrs. Burton managed to inquire:"Is there anything the matter, Felipe?
33532Sometimes I wonder, Marta, if you intend imitating our Camp Fire guardian''s career?"
33532Suppose we return to camp?
33532Then he replied slowly in a tone of hesitation and of embarrassment:"I wonder if you will allow me to make a confidant of you?
33532Then her manner became more apologetic:"You girls are not angry with me for refusing?"
33532They were just finishing when Marta Clark inquired what had become of Gerry, and why she was not having tea with them?
33532Was he in the future to become a problem too big for her?
33532What have I to worry about-- except everything?"
33532What is that we read about Christ the other day, Vera?"
33532What is to become of Gerry?"
33532What possible plan had Billy in mind?
33532What''s up?
33532Whatever trouble she and Felipe might have to face, would she not prefer to face it with him rather than have him leave her alone?
33532Why ca n''t you come over and stay again at the ranch?
33532Will you forgive me and let me come back soon again?"
33532Will you thank your father for the roses he sent me tonight?"
33532Wo n''t you walk with me and look at some of the other views about the old place by moonlight?"
33532Would Felipe remember her, or would he be less lonely in his self- imposed exile if she were to spend it with him?
33532Would he give up his belief in peace and the unrighteousness of war to serve as a common soldier in the ranks?
33532You believed in me, did n''t you, Vera?
33532You look as if you had something important to confide to us?"
31393And nothing will change your decision, Polly?
31393Aunt Patricia? 31393 But I wonder if I am envious of you, Vera, I mean of your planning to remain over here so long?
31393But do n''t you think we had best wait until Tante''s return?
31393But that sounds more like the beginning, does it not? 31393 But why do you allow yourself to acquire such prejudices and such foolish impressions?
31393Do you mean that Polly Burton has a chance to live without an operation?
31393Do you mean the actual country?
31393Do you think we might speak to them, Vera?
31393Good gracious, Aunt Patricia, how did you ever manage to acquire such valuable possessions?
31393Had you not better rest and talk to me later?
31393Have you your husband''s permission for this trip, Polly? 31393 How long do you intend remaining in France to continue with the reconstruction work, Vera?"
31393I presume other things have arrived for me as well, Mary Gilchrist?
31393I suppose that is what you were about to say, was n''t it? 31393 I tell her always_ la bonne mère_ will return, but she is afraid of strangers; you will pardon her?"
31393I will do what you ask only on condition that you-----"That I promise to allow you to do a favor for me some day?
31393I wonder if you can see the destroyers more distinctly than I can manage, Vera? 31393 If there is any other story of what has occurred being told on board ship, will you please do your best to contradict it?
31393Is that fair, Miss Lord? 31393 Is there a chance for her to recover through an operation?"
31393Is there anything you would like to talk to me about, Sally? 31393 Really, Alice, what on earth is troubling you in connection with me?
31393Sally looks pretty, does she not, with her dark hair and white dress? 31393 So you have been making a tour of investigation because you considered that I was neglecting my duty?
31393What are you doing here?
31393What are you doing, Sally?
31393What do you mean, Sally, by going off this afternoon, knowing that I particularly needed your help? 31393 What happened to your sister?"
31393What is the matter, Aunt Patricia?
31393When will human beings cease demanding the impossible?
31393Why am I hiding here?
31393Why do n''t you find some one to take care of you? 31393 Why not come here and sit beside me?
31393Will you come with me, please, to Aunt Patricia''s room?
31393Will you make me a promise?
31393Will you please listen to my story now? 31393 Will you tell me your name, please, and where to find you before you say farewell?
31393Wo n''t you sit here? 31393 You are not in a good humor, are you, Aunt Patricia?
31393You do not seem enthusiastic about seeing me again?
31393You remember the French girl we have noticed because she appeared so much younger than the other members of her Red Cross unit? 31393 Your sister''s name was Yvonne Fleury and your château was not far from here, was it not?"
31393A cat may look at a king,_ comme cá_ why not at a number of queens?
31393And why should he be in hiding in this queer tumble- down old place?
31393As Vera followed she wondered if, when the thief reached the front door, where he must pause in opening it, would she then have the courage to fire?
31393But is n''t it wonderful that our entire Camp Fire unit is to go to France for the reclamation work?
31393But she had risked her own reputation and the young French officer''s life to what end?
31393But tell me the whole story-- who are you, how did the man get into the house and why are you here alone?"
31393But was it not remotely possible that the soldier had committed some offense and had then run away from his own regiment?
31393But was this true?
31393But will it be such a serious responsibility?
31393CHAPTER II EXPLANATIONS"Bettina, who on earth is Miss Patricia Lord?
31393CHAPTER VI A FRENCH FARM HOUSE ON THE FIELD OF HONOR"Is the French country more tragic or less so than you anticipated, Vera?"
31393Ca n''t you ever get over your unattractive habit of treating me as if I were a refractory pupil and you an offended schoolmarm?
31393Ca n''t you trust me until then?"
31393Certainly these were war times and yet could one be serious forever and ever, without an intermission?
31393Did I not tell you that Peggy considers herself engaged to Ralph Marshall, who is in the aviation service in France at the present time?
31393Do n''t you think this a wonderful scheme?"
31393Do tell me what you have been doing, dear?
31393Do you know, Alice, I have often wondered why the puritanical conscience is always so suspicious of other people?"
31393Even if what you are doing might not be considered wrong at home, ca n''t you see that here in France you may be misunderstood?
31393Has anybody ever made you give up anything you had firmly set your heart upon?
31393Have you had me on your conscience more than usual recently?
31393How could she realize that she belonged to the type of women with whom dissimulation is a fine art once the exigencies of a situation required it?
31393I presume it is your idea to leave me to look after the group of girls you undertook to chaperon in France?"
31393I presume you have written Richard Burton of your new French friend?"
31393I wonder if I was wrong?
31393I wonder if it would interest you?"
31393I wonder if we men will ever understand you?
31393If I have been ill, why have I not been cared for in a hospital?
31393In the end would she not have to pay dearly in the continuing condemnation and distrust of her friends?
31393In what condition and how long ago did you find me here?
31393Is it not a wonderful thing that we are to be the pioneers of the Camp Fire movement in France?
31393Is there anybody in the world in the least like you?
31393It is hard, is n''t it, to be blamed for things and then find they have been of no use?
31393Nevertheless, how was she to keep her word to the young soldier unless she returned next day to the château?
31393Oh, why had she allowed herself to be drawn into this reckless promise?
31393Once as she was searching quietly on the floor for her shoes, Alice sat up, asking severely:"What on earth are you doing, Sally Ashton?
31393Sally wondered what would become of an escaped prisoner if he were discovered to be desperately ill?
31393Sally, ca n''t you realize that we are in a foreign country where the language, the customs, the ideas are not like ours?
31393Should she betray him at once?
31393Still I insist upon knowing why you are not pleased to see me?
31393Suppose I had been your enemy?"
31393The next moment Sally flung her bag down on the floor again, answering petulantly:"What am I doing?
31393Was there ever anything so inspiring or so amazing as their happiness and courage in returning to their old homes?
31393What fate had ever driven her forth into this undesired adventure?
31393What has taken you away from home so many times alone?
31393What place have they in my great armed world?''
31393When her confession was finally made, would they even then understand and forgive her?
31393Why did the young man look and speak so strangely?
31393Why is this not equally important?
31393Why of all times should this question of her personal liberty come up for discussion_ this_ afternoon?
31393Why should he, a soldier, be afraid, and of her?
31393Why was he in concealment?
31393Would any one else on earth be more difficult or more unrelenting?
31393Would he be permitted to spend his leave with Mrs. Burton and the Camp Fire girls at their farm house on the Aisne?
31393Would it be possible to appear among the other girls looking and behaving as if nothing unusual had occurred?
31393Yet how could one call to an utter stranger whose name, whose identity, whose nationality were all unknown?
31393You do n''t consider the subject a dangerous one?"
31393You do n''t suppose by any chance this portion of France will ever be destroyed by the enemy a second time?
31393You do n''t think you could have inherited a social awkwardness from me?"
31393You have been studying cooking and the care of children, besides the first aid and the farm work, which you must have known already?
31393You know, Sally, that unless the girls cared for you they would not have troubled?
31393You will not again, will you?
31393[ Illustration:"Have You Nothing Better to do than Steal?"]
31393with the food she had promised him and without confiding the fact to any one else?
20106''And is he up there?
20106After you have been a''Wood Gatherer''you become a''Fire Maker''?
20106And your father?
20106Are you sure she''ll keep her word?
20106But what shall I buy for her to wear?
20106But you certainly approve of the''Scout''movement, do n''t you? 20106 Can it be possible that there is about to be made a way for poor Mollie?
20106Did you ask him of his companion?
20106Did you give it?
20106Do you know what I''m going in for?
20106Do you stay up here until September?
20106Do you wish my advice?
20106Ethel, what do you think of our Camp Fire dinner?
20106Has Kate gone?
20106Have n''t you noticed that people call me_ Mrs._ Carpenter?
20106Have you been awake long?
20106Have you hurt yourself?
20106How about writing to me?
20106How does it go?
20106How much did you get for them?
20106How''s my boy?
20106Is n''t Aunt Susan clever to have been able to have gotten Mother to change her mind?
20106Is n''t he lovely?
20106Is n''t it funny?
20106Is n''t she?
20106Is n''t this a lovely story?
20106It sort of livens things up to have young people about, does n''t it, Mother?
20106It used to belong to Aunt Susan, did n''t it?
20106No, I shall not,replied Ethel, kissing her affectionately,"and you promise to go and see little Mollie and write me all about her, wo n''t you?"
20106Now see here,said Patty Sands,"Ethel and I are not monsters to eat you up, are we, Ethel?"
20106Of course,she said,"she''ll leave your Cousin Kate some if it, but why should that adopted son get the lion''s share?
20106Oh, Mrs. Hollister,said Lottie Owen, a girl of Ethel''s age,"have you heard about the''turkey trot?''
20106Oh, Uncle John, how could I get homesick with Kate?
20106Oh, is n''t this jolly?
20106Shall I?
20106Stop, Annie, a moment-- Are you sorry that mistake was made? 20106 To whom does this belong?"
20106Well, girls,said Uncle John,"we''ll be looking for you next week-- hey?"
20106What have you done?
20106What is it?
20106What is the matter?
20106What would Aunt Susan think were she to know? 20106 What?"
20106When does it come off?
20106Who knows? 20106 Who was with you in the tent?"
20106Why not?
20106Why, Bella,said her husband,"is it possible that you had only that idea in your head when you invited my aunt here?"
20106Why, Grandmother, how did you know that?
20106Why, dear, why are you so rude to Mr. Bigelow? 20106 Why, where is my bouquet?
20106Why,explained Edna Whitely,"if necessary we could drive the stakes and put up our tent, could n''t we, Miss Hollister?"
20106Yes, and is n''t that silly? 20106 Yours?
20106After greeting the old lady affectionately they began:"What do you know about it?"
20106All that night, until she was lost in sleep, did she constantly repeat:"I wonder who has got it?"
20106And what care he, whether her eyes were blue or brown, if her name were only Annie?
20106Are my prayers to be answered?"
20106Are there any''H''s''in the Columbus Camp Fires?"
20106Are they so very good looking?"
20106As Kate leaves here tomorrow, should n''t you think that Mamma would be too polite to differ with her?
20106But how was I to get it?
20106But was n''t her own mother a money- worshipper, and did n''t she herself care for people who had it?
20106But where is Cousin Kate?"
20106But, by the way, was n''t Aunt Susan clever to get your mother to consent to your becoming a Camp Fire Girl?
20106CHAPTER XIII A LITTLE DRIVE That afternoon when Tom took Ethel for a drive he asked:"Do you see that large house on the hill?"
20106CHAPTER XVIII SELECTING THE COSTUME"You like Father, do n''t you?"
20106Can there be another such Annie Grey?"
20106Can you not see how he seeks his mother''s bosom for shelter?''
20106Can you not see how the storm affects him?
20106Can you remember the different amounts of money that you have taken from us girls?"
20106Could she hurt her dear grandmother''s feelings?
20106Did you know it, Grandmamma?
20106Did you send me one?"
20106Did you teach very long?"
20106Do you feel ill?"
20106Do you regret it?"
20106Do you remember the name of the lady from whom you took the purse?"
20106Does n''t he love Aunt Susan though?
20106Had a pleasant time?"
20106Had she not promised her father to do everything for Aunt Susan?
20106Has your grandmother never spoken of him?"
20106Have n''t you heard about it?
20106How shall I find her?
20106How to proceed, on his fixed determination of winning her, if possible?
20106However can I pay you and Miss Ethel?"
20106I must have shown surprise for he answered when I said''What?''
20106I wonder how she came to send me this?
20106If_ we_ do not think enough of him to send him bouquets, who else could?
20106Is n''t it awful?"
20106Is n''t it beautiful?
20106Is n''t it great?
20106Is that it?
20106It is sad to die so young, is n''t it?
20106It must be that it was Aunt Susan''s money she was after, and why?
20106It''s the only way to become proficient and gain honors and advancement, and that''s your aim, is n''t it?"
20106May I go to your mother, Annie?"
20106May I think so, Annie?"
20106My little one-- art thou safe?''
20106No?
20106Nora, you arrange the blankets, towels, and linen in order, will you?"
20106Now what good is all such exercise to a girl?"
20106Now why should n''t Ethel come in for some of her money as well as that adopted boy?"
20106O- hi- o kept calling,''Mus- kin- gum, where art thou?
20106Of course, you are only sixteen, but who knows what may happen?
20106Oh, how could he find out that?
20106Oh, will you believe that I do n''t want your money, and that I only care for your respect and forgiveness, and your love, if you can give it?"
20106Say, do n''t you know that you can influence others to think exactly as you do?
20106Should you like to be a saleswoman?"
20106The week before its failure what do you think?
20106Was he not so in the flesh?
20106Was not her own mother the same?
20106Were your father to die what could you do?
20106What do they think of Mamma''s giving me permission to join Cousin Kate''s Camp Fire Girls?
20106What next?
20106What objection can you have?"
20106When do you leave for home?"
20106Whose can it be?
20106Why did you run from us when we called?"
20106Why have you never married?"
20106Why?
20106Would n''t we have fun?"
20106but it''s warm in the sun, is n''t it?"
20106ejaculated Ethel,"that''s my task, is n''t it?
20106he asked,"how is he?
20106she said,"Are you in earnest?"
34926Besides, do you think I talk to the Governor about his affairs just because I live in his house? 34926 Betty,"he answered,"or rather Mrs. Graham, have I startled you?
34926Bobbin saved my life, did n''t she?
34926Bobbin?
34926But is Betty Graham a very extravagant woman? 34926 But please do n''t mention to the Governor or any one that you saw me go into his private study tonight, will you?
34926Do n''t you think that perhaps you are rather an uncanny person anyhow?
34926Do n''t you think you are strong enough now to permit me to take you back to your hotel, if I may not look for your maid?
34926Do you live anywhere near here? 34926 Do you really mean that?"
34926Get up please, Billy, in a hurry, wo n''t you? 34926 Gracious, dear, is n''t there anything in the world you wo n''t let your husband decide?
34926Have you fallen in love with some one recently, Polly? 34926 Have you wanted to see me?"
34926I expect there is n''t any law about wanting everything, is there, Betty Ashton Graham? 34926 I wonder why sisters are so jealous of their big brothers marrying, Mrs. Jack Emmet?
34926Is n''t it good fortune that we are living in the same place just as we used to long ago?
34926Is that the only name you have?
34926Is that what troubles you, Angel? 34926 It is like bread cast upon the waters, is n''t it?"
34926John Everett? 34926 May I come in and talk to you for a little while, Angel?"
34926May I do anything for you, Miss O''Neill?
34926May I get up and walk about the room now?
34926Remember how you boys used to try to terrify us when we were in camp just to prove the superiority of Boy Scouts over Camp Fire girls? 34926 Remember when you once believed that Anthony was falling in love with me?
34926So you no longer wish to do things just because I wish them? 34926 So you noticed it too, Polly?"
34926Tell me, Angel, just what you would do if you were in my place?
34926Then what were you going to my hotel for? 34926 Then why did n''t you write or have some one tell me?
34926Then you will come? 34926 There has been something on your mind recently, has n''t there, Angel, something you have not cared to confide to me?"
34926Was any one injured? 34926 What could Kenneth wish in there tonight?"
34926What do you mean by striking a little girl in that cruel fashion? 34926 What friends, for instance, Princess?"
34926What is it you wish? 34926 What is it, Mollie Mavourneen?"
34926What is the matter?
34926What is your name?
34926What on earth has happened, Betty?
34926What on earth is the matter with you, Angel?
34926Where in the world have you been? 34926 Who is it, please?"
34926Whom are you spying upon now,''Angel in the House?''
34926Why do n''t you do as I tell you? 34926 Why, Angel, what are you doing in here alone, child?
34926Wo n''t you buy yourself something from me?
34926Would you mind getting me some paper and the pen and ink out of my desk?
34926You will come some day and help me decide what to do, wo n''t you?
34926You will stay and take lunch with us, wo n''t you, dear?
34926And do you know how I got it?
34926And yet was it really necessary to have her post quite so lonely?
34926Because she would not give up her acting?
34926Besides, had she not promised Kenneth Helm not to tell?
34926Besides, if I did what difference would it make?
34926Besides, if he were a thief why did he remain there staring at her?
34926Besides, what had Faith ever done except be a little selfish and unreasonable of late, and Angel knew that she was troubled by her own affairs?
34926But then what proof had she to offer against him?
34926But this was the picture that Bettina herself made; what of her friend''s drawing of her?
34926But was it going to be so simple a matter to rescue her as he had pretended to his wife?
34926But what would have been the use?
34926CHAPTER VI THE FIRST DISILLUSION"BUT you ca n''t mean, Anthony, that you positively refuse to do what I ask?"
34926CHAPTER XIII"A LITTLE RIFT WITHIN THE LUTE""BUT, my dearest sister, what is the matter with Betty?
34926Could it be possible that either one of them had seen her and that Faith was sending Kenneth to bring her down to the ballroom?
34926Could it be possible that he did not love her any more?
34926Could it be possible that one of the servants at the Capitol realized their importance and stole them in order to get money for them?"
34926Could she possibly be deaf and dumb?
34926Could there be something beautiful hidden within the child''s peculiarities?
34926Could they be under Polly''s room?
34926Did n''t you even know I was staying there?"
34926Do n''t you remember that your dress is even prettier than Faith''s?
34926Heigh- ho, I wonder if anybody thinks being Governor is a cheerful job?
34926Helm''s real character, Faith?
34926How can I if I have n''t got it?
34926How can one suddenly say,"I am_ not_ a thief, I am_ not_ a liar,"when every thought and act of their lives has been pure and good?
34926How could any one guess that she was often both selfish and self- willed?
34926How did you happen to find me?"
34926How had the girl acquired so much money all at once?
34926How often she used to lie awake wondering why he did not write or come to her?
34926Hunt?"
34926I have wondered recently if perhaps she was not quite so fond of me because I was taking her less into my confidence?
34926I suppose you thought my bringing her east with me was rather mad, did n''t you, Sylvia?"
34926I wonder if your children are as obedient?
34926I wonder what they will think?
34926I-- oh, does one ever know exactly why one cares?
34926If Anthony was going everlastingly to be kept at his office must she always sit alone during the evenings?
34926If it were only this political trouble, why should n''t she have confided in me?"
34926Is n''t it absurd?
34926Is that what you are crying about?"
34926Is that why you talked about yourself in such a discouraged fashion just now and lectured me so severely?"
34926Is there anything in the world I can do?
34926It was an absurd idea, and even a horrid one; and yet is one ever altogether fair in anger?
34926Know anything about them?"
34926May I come and see you soon again?"
34926Moreover, what would Mollie think of her bad manners toward their guest?
34926Now she whispered:"Why do n''t you just find a place where you can see, Angel, without any one''s seeing you?
34926Of course, if you know anything actually against him you would tell me?"
34926Perhaps the request was an unfortunate one under the circumstances, and yet how could Angel ever have imagined such a possibility?
34926Really, Anthony, would you mind telling me exactly what you have in your mind against John Everett?
34926See, the article is headed:''Is Our Reform Governor So Honest As We Supposed?''
34926Still, why not?
34926Surely it was no longer early in the evening, and why did Anthony not keep his word and come home at the time he had promised?
34926Tell me, is John going to be married at last?
34926Therefore, would it be possible for her to undertake an entirely new picture here at the very last?
34926Think again, Angel, have you seen nothing of them?
34926Was he going to turn into the dictatorial type of husband after all these years of married life when he had been so altogether different?
34926Was not her beloved Polly at home for the Christmas festivities and were not Billy and the children and her mother in excellent health and spirits?
34926Was there ever such another grown- up woman as Polly O''Neill?
34926Was there not some personal reason in her dislike?
34926Was your lovely house burned down?"
34926Well, have n''t you succeeded?
34926Well, that is all right, but what does he know about prison reform, about building good roads for the state, or anything else I''m after?
34926What could it mean?
34926What else could any man do except agree to her wishes?
34926What put that notion in your head?"
34926Whatever are you talking about?"
34926Whoever could do anything else in Polly O''Neill''s society?
34926Why did n''t you tell me?"
34926Why had he not committed his burglary and gotten away with his spoils without alarming her?
34926Why had she not had the sense to have married him in the days when he had cared for her?
34926Why had she not married and settled down as her sister Mollie had suggested at least a hundred times?
34926Why should I?"
34926Why should she desire to run away with Kenneth Helm''s private papers?
34926Will you come now, Angel?
34926Wo n''t you forgive me and let us be friends?
34926Wo n''t you let me take you down- stairs?"
34926Yet who would ever think of Doctor Sylvia Wharton''s marrying?"
34926You are married yourself-- why begrudge John the good fortune?
34926You do n''t mind my knowing of your present difficulty?
33806After all we did discover a kind of enchanted forest, did n''t we, Esther?
33806And you have always believed that Billy almost hated me, have n''t you?
33806Are you all by yourself?
33806Betty,she heard her brother''s voice saying,"wake up, please, wo n''t you and speak to an old friend?
33806But how could you have come away from home at such a time, running the risk of losing so much?
33806But if you are so awfully fond of your cousin and he is a count living in that old stone castle, why does he not do something for you? 33806 But was I fair to you, dear?
33806But why then does she go on working so intensely, if she does not intend making a profession of her singing? 33806 But you, Polly?"
33806Do n''t you think we had best find Lieutenant von Reuter and ask his assistance?
33806Do n''t you think you had best drive up to the castle and see him yourself? 33806 Do you like foreign men?"
33806Do you mean that Miss Polly gave you instructions to say she was not in?
33806Dr. Ashton, however in the world did you manage to discover me?
33806Dr. Ashton, will you take a walk with me?
33806Esther, my dear, what is the matter with you? 33806 Glorious,"John frowned;"what do you mean?"
33806Has it ever occurred to you that you may all be forcing Esther into a life for which she is not fitted, which will never make her happy? 33806 How do you feel?
33806I had better go down to the village at once, do n''t you think?
33806I haf come in search of''_ Das Rheingold_,''he murmured in his funny, broken English,"and I haf found a Rhein_ mädchen, nicht wahr_?"
33806I suppose you can remember Betty?
33806Is there any other place on earth quite so wonderful?
33806Is your cousin a girl?
33806Is your own home so disagreeable to you, Polly, that you would rather go anywhere than stay with us?
33806It is all right, is n''t it?
33806Miss Ashton,he began unsmilingly,"am I always to have to tell you who I am each time we meet?"
33806Miss Ashton,said Lieutenant von Reuter suddenly and quite formally,"will you do me the honor to become my wife?
33806Miss Polly,he began rather humbly,"I wonder if you would be willing to do a favor for me?"
33806Mollie?
33806Oh, that''s the plan, is it? 33806 So that was what was worrying you, Esther?"
33806So you think you understand Esther better than I do, Dick?
33806Sounds rather glorious, does n''t it, Esther, fame and fortune all ready and waiting to drop at your feet? 33806 Then why should you wish to go away, dear?"
33806Then will you please sit down and tell me everything that has been happening to you and how I chance to find you here in London with Miss Adams?
33806Was your mother well enough to go out with you?
33806What have you been doing alone all day?
33806Who says that I am so desperate over leaving mother and the Princess to take care of our future great American prima donna?
33806Whose castle is that, Betty, do you know?
33806Why are n''t you in bed, Polly mine?
33806Why not?
33806Why, Billy Webster, where are you going?
33806Why, do n''t you know?
33806Why, what could have influenced Judge Maynard to leave me so much money? 33806 Wo n''t you tell me, please, Miss Adams, if it would have been so dreadful a thing if I had done what you supposed?
33806Wo n''t you tell us the story of Siegfried?
33806Would you mind so very, very much?
33806You do n''t mean that you like_ me_, do you, Betty?
33806_ Ach Himmel!_exclaimed poor Fritz,"is one never to lose him?"
33806A German girl would have appreciated the sacrifice he was making; so why not an American?
33806All their lives had they not been having wonderfully good times together?
33806Am I quite so impossible as I used to be?"
33806And are you as pretty as ever, and do you love me as much?"
33806And if he has asked you what did you answer?"
33806And then smiling and yet wholly gentle she asked,"Why do you say''the last straw''in such a desperate fashion?
33806And then,"Tell me, please, for goodness sake, Betty Ashton, how you are going to manage to start a Camp Fire club in Waldheim?
33806And to have her so desire your companionship that she has asked you to be her guest during her summer abroad?
33806And yet what other reason could there be?
33806Anthony Graham?
33806Are you going to make more money?"
33806Are you hurt?
33806Are you ill?
33806As Esther laughed, he added,"Who is it that she has gone off in the moonlight with this time?
33806Ashton?"
33806Besides, had he not spied the familiar scarlet coat and hat on a chair outside the music room, where no one but Polly would have placed them?
33806Besides, what did Esther not also feel that she owed to this same sister?
33806But I wonder if you have ever thought that Mollie liked Billy Webster better than our other friends?"
33806But I wonder where the shot could have come from?"
33806But what had he to offer in exchange for these great sacrifices?
33806But when and where had she heard that peculiar music before?
33806But why if she were lost did she not make some sign?
33806But would you like to tell me, dear, what special objection there is to your present age?
33806But you must please forgive me, because how in the world could I ever have dreamed of seeing you here?
33806CHAPTER XI And Its Consequences Betty bent over her sister first, saying with a kind of quick intake of her breath:"Esther, what is the matter?
33806CHAPTER XII The Uncertain Future"Have you ever wished some days that you were nine years old instead of nineteen, Miss Adams-- Margaret?"
33806Ca n''t you understand, mother, without my having to explain?
33806Could it be possible that Herr von Reuter''s cousin was seeking him?
33806Did he not owe his first earnings to his mother and to his sister, Betty, whose courage and resourcefulness had helped him prepare for his career?
33806Did she care for Carl von Reuter for himself?
33806Did they not say that they had found a little house for themselves and another not far away for us?
33806Do n''t you realize every now and then that you are the older and that the Princess ought to come around to your way of thinking?
33806Do n''t you suppose that she understands that anything else is impossible for him?"
33806Do n''t you think he is behaving rather curiously lately, Esther?
33806Do n''t you think it is rather looking for trouble?
33806Do n''t you think we had better drive back to the hotel?"
33806Do n''t you think we might be able to make Betty see this, even supposing that she does not already appreciate it?"
33806Do you believe that the girl could honestly care for him?
33806Do you not now think it time for us to go and join the others?"
33806Do you see anything?"
33806Do you think, Polly, that I do n''t appreciate what it must mean to a girl like you to have made a friend of a great woman like Margaret Adams?
33806For had they not always thought of Esther as the homeliest of their group of Camp Fire girls?
33806For she asked immediately after:"What difference in the world does it make, Esther Crippen, what I have been doing?
33806For whatever had induced Betty to attempt the walk from the village to their cottage alone?
33806Had he not fought through every kind of obstacle for the sake of his profession?
33806Had not Professor Hecksher himself written her that she had sung better than he expected?
33806Has it a long avenue of linden trees and a lodge covered with ivy and a lake with a waterfall?"
33806Have I decided what was best for you, as well as for Mollie and me?
33806Have you a special appointment?"
33806Have you no home and no friends, that you have to shed your tears in the public streets?"
33806How could poor Fritz have guessed that no higher emotion than curiosity stirred her?
33806I have improved a little in these past two years, do n''t you think?
33806I was only wondering which makes a woman happier in the end, a home or a career?
33806It is lovely to think that may be true, is n''t it?"
33806Moreover, suppose he should win patients and success sooner than other men?
33806Or was it her duty to confess Billy Webster''s stupidity?
33806So what should she now answer Polly?
33806Surely she had failed abjectly, for was there not a silence everywhere about her, chilling and cruel?
33806Tell me, then, is it my duty to go on with my work in Berlin, to give up everything I wish for a career I do n''t desire?"
33806The question now is, What will each girl do to make her future happy and successful?
33806The story teller stopped and Esther inquired:"You know the story of Siegfried so well, I wonder if you sing?"
33806The thing I wish to know this instant is whether Professor Hecksher has asked you to sing at his big concert with his really star singers?
33806Then if I never sing in public how am I ever to earn that fortune which I have promised to bestow on you, Princess?"
33806They want to join us later if----if----""If what, Betty?"
33806Was she frightened as she had expected to be?
33806Were the light clouds they saw at so great a distance away, rising and floating lightly in the night air like pale ghosts, really nothing but mist?
33806Wharton?"
33806What did you answer him?"
33806What had happened to her, what wonderful transformation had taken place?
33806What in the wide world has brought you to Germany?"
33806What is taking you in so soon?
33806What made you do it?"
33806What on earth would Betty Ashton not have given at this moment to have prevented her cheeks from suddenly crimsoning in such a ridiculous fashion?
33806What would this young girl do with it?
33806When does it take place?"
33806Whom shall I summon Hither to help me?
33806Why did Esther''s advice always seem to him so much more admirable and intelligent than other persons''?
33806Why do people nowadays think that girls are so changed, that all of us are wishing to be independent and famous?
33806Why do you allow yourself to be so much influenced by Betty?
33806Why do you suppose that just now when I asked you a simple question that you should hesitate and flush?
33806Why does everybody in the world think that because I have a talent I have to sacrifice my whole life to it?
33806Why in the world did I not think of that idea at once?
33806Why should not one?
33806Why, for what other purpose had they come to Germany?
33806Will she marry well or ill, or will she choose to follow some career in which marriage has no part?
33806Will you be good enough to lead the way?"
33806Will you please tell me, Betty, whatever induced you to start off on such a journey by yourself?
33806Wo n''t you both please come in?
33806Would not a single pair of hands applaud?
33806Would she be too theatrical, too showy, or fail altogether?
33806Would she have cared had he been of more humble origin, had he been less handsome?
33806Would she never hear the end of her escapade?
33806Would you care to come with us?"
33806Would you still have expected us to make the same answer?
33806Yet it is odd, is n''t it?
33806You do n''t believe, do you, Esther child, that Dick can be staying in town so often lately to see that abominable girl at our old pension?"
33806You do n''t mean that Professor Hecksher has suggested that_ you_ take a rest and that you are going to see your father?"
33806You must not think I intended being officious, but was there not a possibility that she might have gone for a walk or drive with him?
33806You wo n''t forget we were acquaintances, will you, Esther?"
33806You would n''t, Betty, ever seriously care for anyone who lives in Europe, would you?"
15133Both of them, do n''t you think?
15133But he had no money with him, did he?
15133But how could the boys spring their surprise without coming to Hollyhill?
15133But what did they want?
15133But what''s the surprise you were going to spring?
15133But where are you staying?
15133But,said Marion, apprehensively,"why did n''t she come right home?
15133Ca n''t you tell me who some of them are, papa?
15133Can you keep her safe?
15133Can you men come over at once?
15133Clifford, Clifford Long, are you responsible for this?
15133Did n''t anything really serious happen? 15133 Did she at any time urge or suggest that it would not be well for the girls to come here in the holidays?"
15133Did the alarm go off? 15133 Did you know that Dave came to Westmoreland a few weeks ago and called at the institute to see me?"
15133Do you know what a state of mind you had us in during the last two or three hours?
15133Do you mean to tell me that you are one of the girls visiting at the home of Old Stanlock, the mine owner?
15133Do you see any difference between this pile of lumber and that dry goods box over there?
15133Do you suppose you could find that letter?
15133Does your Boy Scout training teach you to use your heads so successfully? 15133 Girls, Girls, are you going to turn our vacation into a two- weeks repartee bee?"
15133Have n''t you any light?
15133Have you any objection, Nell, to my going after him good and strong?
15133He really is a child in some respects, is n''t he?
15133How about the other letter?
15133How are you, Nell?
15133How can you tell they passed through here?
15133How did he leave?
15133How do you account for her disappearance?
15133How does he get such a hold on the miners?
15133How in the world could they do it without somebody''s seeing or hearing what was going on?
15133How is she now? 15133 How is that?"
15133Is it about Helen Nash?
15133Is n''t that rather an unhealthful place for you to live? 15133 Is that the kind of musician who plays an opportune at every opportunity?"
15133Is there any store open near here where I can go and buy something?
15133Is this it?
15133My, what time is it?
15133No, did he? 15133 None that she ever corresponds with?"
15133Not much are we goin''home,declared Paul, energetically;"are we, Jerry?
15133Ought we to inform the other girls now?
15133Papa, do you think those men tried to kidnap you?
15133Please, Miss,the girl pleaded;"wo n''t you come and help me?
15133Shall we have to give up our vacation at Hollyhill on account of this?
15133Then they did want to kidnap you?
15133There''s another outlet to this place somewhere, is n''t there?
15133Was it anything serious?
15133We ought to be wearing Carnegie medals, ought n''t we, girls?
15133What did you find?
15133What did you hope to accomplish by coming to see Dave?
15133What do you think of these letters?
15133What for?
15133What in the world ever brought you here, Helen?
15133What makes you so certain about it?
15133What makes you think so?
15133What makes you think that?
15133What next?
15133What shall we do?
15133What time is it, Helen?
15133What was it that happened, papa?
15133What''s the matter, girls? 15133 What''s the matter, girls?"
15133What?
15133When will he be home?
15133Where are the girls, Kittie?
15133Where did the villains in charge of this car go?
15133Where did you learn all that, Helen?
15133Where is Jake, the driver, Henry?
15133Where is there another in the neighborhood?
15133Where is your mother?
15133Who are they?
15133Who are those boys?
15133Who do you suppose those two men are that we saw come out of the cave?
15133Who was it from?
15133Who wrote the other anonymous letter that you received at the Institute?
15133Why did n''t you?
15133Why did n''t you?
15133Why do you say kidnappers?
15133Why do you think I am in danger here?
15133Why do you think it is foolish, my dear?
15133Why? 15133 Why?"
15133Why?
15133Why?
15133Will I find a drug store over there, too? 15133 Would it be all right for me to go and see her-- is it against the doctor''s orders?
15133You are sure those letters were written by different persons?
15133You did n''t come to Hollyhill just to visit us, did you?
15133You do n''t mean to say that you let them get away without finding out who they were, do you?
15133You refer to the stories about the building of this house over an old mine, I suppose? 15133 1 was from the Scouts who had promised another surprise for the Camp Fire Girls in the near future? 15133 After the particulars of the affair, so far as they were known, had been explained to him, he asked:Where are the detectives?"
15133But how did you escape?"
15133But now the question was, What should she do?
15133But what brings you here?
15133But what had become of Helen Nash?
15133But where''s the other opening?
15133But, would it be safe for him to trust Jake to drive him home?
15133Ca n''t you come back in an hour or two?"
15133Did she get lost in the storm?
15133Eddy?"
15133Had Mr. Stanlock seen or heard anything which caused him to believe that the strikers might do him bodily harm if they had an opportunity?
15133Had anybody seen her go out of the house?
15133Had he appeared nervous or was there anything in his manner which indicated that he was apprehensive of trouble not already well known to the public?
15133Had he received any threatening letters?
15133Had she any pronounced likes and dislikes?
15133Have you no idea who sent it?"
15133His first question was:"Has Miss Nash any other friends living in Hollyhill?"
15133His voice reflected the distressing strain under which he was laboring as he put his next question:"What became of them then?"
15133How long have they been gone?"
15133Oh, please do come, Miss, just a minute, and--""Where do you live?"
15133She hesitated a few moments before answering the last inquiry; then she said:"Do n''t you think that those men intended to kidnap your father?
15133So what''s the use?
15133Then she looked at Marion steadily and said inquiringly:"I suppose you have no idea who wrote these letters?"
15133Was it possible that this was Mr. Stanlock''s former automobile driver?
15133Was she a girl of good judgment, or flighty and light- headed?
15133Was she in the habit of doing things just to be contrary?
15133Was there anything peculiar in her manner in the course of the day?
15133What could they do?
15133What did be want to do that for?
15133What do you say, Jerry?"
15133What do you think I ought to do, Helen?"
15133What for?
15133What kind of a girl was she?
15133What other explanation can you find for their actions?"
15133What ought he to do?
15133What waked you up?"
15133What was the matter-- couldn''t she explain who she was?"
15133What were her most noticeable characteristics?
15133When am I invited to come?"
15133When did you come?
15133Where are the letters postmarked?"
15133Why did n''t you call us up and let us know you were going to be late?"
15133Why had they not thought of the trio of"mystery masters"before?
15133Why not go straight to Stanlocks''and send word to Dave that you wish to meet him somewhere tomorrow?"
15133Will you have the stove hauled there and set up and keep a fire in it a good deal of the time to dry the place out thoroughly?
15133Wo n''t yours be fixed before long?"
15133You could n''t trace this route again, anyway, could you?"
15133You do n''t sleep there, I hope?"
15133You have n''t been over at the house yet, have you?"
15133You would n''t expect the Spring Lake boys to mail a letter like the shorter one at Spring Lake, would you?
15133she cried almost hysterically;"where have you been?
22938And what did Mrs. Wharton answer?
22938And you, Polly?
22938Anthony Graham, Nan''s brother?
22938Ask Billy what he thinks on one or all subjects, dear?
22938Betty Ashton, Mollie O''Neill and Billy Webster, if you and some of the others will help us, why ca n''t we have our dinner party here at the cabin? 22938 Betty, child, do n''t you want to see us?"
22938Betty, did you call me?
22938But ca n''t you recall once having befriended a fellow when instead you ought to have sent him to jail? 22938 But it is n''t the custom of Camp Fire clubs to act as both judge and jury, is it, Polly?"
22938But what about you and your success?
22938But why did you come back to Woodford if this Mr. Andrews was befriending you and giving you a chance?
22938But you are going to see her pretty soon? 22938 Ca n''t you see that as long as I have been able to be sick nobody has dared to say very much to me about my escapade in New York?
22938Can any one apply for a position who wants it?
22938Could n''t you, wo n''t you come here and have a room with us?
22938Could you, would you mind telling me why so many girls are standing here in this one particular spot?
22938DO YOU REMEMBER ME?
22938Dear me, why had not one of us thought of this way out?
22938Did your mother never have any other children, Betty?
22938Do n''t I hear some one coming along the hall? 22938 Does your mother know?"
22938Edith Norton?
22938Give Service?
22938Go back to school? 22938 Have you forgotten your lines, child?"
22938How did you happen to come to New York and to the theater, Billy?
22938If one has these three things in life as I have, what else is worth worrying over?
22938Is it as bad as that, Mollie?
22938Is that all?
22938Jobs?
22938May I walk along with you?
22938Mollie, there is n''t anything the matter? 22938 Parties?"
22938Promise not to say anything until I have finished?
22938Read? 22938 Seek Beauty?"
22938Shall we call somebody first?
22938Shall we call your mother or wake up anybody?
22938She is like her mother;_ nicht wahr_?
22938So you undertook to play detective and find out?
22938Spend the holidays with me?
22938Success,_ my_ success? 22938 Surely, Billy, you ca n''t object to allowing Mrs. Wharton to be the judge in this matter?"
22938Then of course it''s Polly?
22938Then why are you trying to?
22938Was n''t it odd, though, mother, your coming in here both times? 22938 What are you talking about, child?"
22938What do you mean? 22938 What do you wish?"
22938What happened to me? 22938 What in the world are you doing in the house at this hour, Anthony Graham?
22938What is the possible harm? 22938 What is your decision, Miss O''Neill?"
22938What kind of work is it that you are looking for?
22938What on earth could he want?
22938What on earth have I said that has hurt you so, Esther?
22938Who is it taking my name in vain?
22938Why in the world do you want to remain in the city with me?
22938Why, I think I can remember even now his very first words to me:''Hello,''he said,''why are you doing me such a good turn?'' 22938 Wo n''t somebody please take me home?"
22938Wo n''t you allow me to call your mother, or Miss Dyer or Miss McMurtry? 22938 Word of honor?"
22938Would the little_ Fräulein_ like it that I should play for her?
22938Would you mind leaving me for a few minutes and trying to find mother?
22938Yes, but is n''t this the haunted room of this house, Betty?
22938You are n''t ill, are you?
22938You must not expect too much of me, little sister, will you?
22938After all, what right had he to take this lofty tone with Polly?
22938Am I much burned?"
22938And if you do n''t like to accept with just my invitation, will you come in again tomorrow or next day?
22938And often since their coming to live in her house had she not seen slight but convincing evidences?
22938And then had he not suddenly swooped down upon her, selecting her from the dozens of other applicants?
22938Andrews?"
22938Are you ill, do you feel like you were going to faint?
22938Are you sure you locked the door?"
22938Besides, why have we never known and how did you happen to do it?"
22938But after tonight?
22938But if German ladies can keep successful pensions, why not Americans?
22938But if I do n''t tell and yet do n''t let you stay here with me, what on earth would you do about this theatrical scheme?"
22938But now, had not fate itself intervened, flinging her into the path of her desire?
22938But the whole point is, wo n''t every single girl in the Sunrise Hill Camp Fire Club possibly break some of the rules some day?
22938But what made Betty suspect?
22938But what on earth could he be talking about?
22938But what should she say first?
22938But when was Polly anything but foolish?"
22938But you will forgive me, wo n''t you, Betty?"
22938By the way, Betty, one of the things I particularly wished to talk to you about is this: Shall we ask Anthony Graham?
22938CHAPTER VII THE THREAT"Then you refuse to help me or to keep my secret?"
22938Can you make any suggestion, Betty dear?
22938Could any human being think of another subject or person at a time like this?
22938Could it be for the door of the closet only a few feet away?
22938Could she ever again be happy even for a day or an hour?
22938Could she find it, having lost her own?
22938Dear me, you have not walked in your sleep for years, have you?"
22938Did any one of her friends consider her so poverty- stricken that it was necessary to send her money in this anonymous fashion?
22938Do you know, dear, how long she has been in this difficulty?
22938Do you think the figure we saw was a man''s or a woman''s?"
22938Esther, what is the matter with you?
22938Even if it does give you a kind of a shock to look at me, you''ll get over it, wo n''t you?"
22938For could it be possible that any human being could so forgive one''s sins as almost to forget them?
22938Graham?"
22938Had she the right to betray Polly''s confidence, even though she might consider it for her good?
22938Had some one sent her a Thanksgiving present or was she being made the victim of a joke?
22938Had they both gone suddenly mad?
22938Has anything happened?
22938How did she find all this out?"
22938Hungry for what?
22938I wonder if you have ever dreamed that Betty is Esther Crippen''s sister?"
22938I----""What on earth is queer about that room?"
22938If you are sick why on earth have n''t you told me before?
22938Is it good or evil fortune that makes one so readily influenced by outside conditions?
22938It was true that Polly had received permission only to call upon her friend, but what wrong could there be in her taking a walk?
22938Neither Betty nor Polly is worse again?"
22938Or was she sitting, as she should be, with her hands idly folded in her lap and her heart and mind absorbed in the music?
22938Read what?"
22938Shall I put them near enough your bed to have you enjoy their fragrance?"
22938She is fond of me, do n''t you think so, Polly?
22938She meant to pay it back of course, only, only----""You mean she stole it from her?"
22938She will be sorry that I ca n''t be with her for the holidays?
22938Should she be scarred from her accident, or worse fear, should her eyes be affected by the scorching heat of the flames?
22938So suppose we take it for granted that you had nothing to do with our experience, then will you help Betty and me to find out who or what it was?
22938So why should young Dr. Barton be staring at her so severely?
22938That is-- what_ do you mean_?"
22938Then why, even if the robber had entered the house by some mysterious process of his own, had he gone away again empty- handed?
22938Then you know the young boy student who was nearly starving when Dick rescued him, and the old Baron who wears a wig, and the half dozen others?
22938Therefore why climb to the second story and enter the girls''room first?
22938Try and not be frightened, but do you think you can hear any one moving about in this room?"
22938Was she never to be satisfied?
22938What could have become of her?
22938What difficulty do you suppose Polly has gotten into this time?
22938What is there for me to do, Sylvia child, to make the hours pass?"
22938What on earth do you suppose has possessed her to want to stay on with Esther?"
22938What possible reason or right can he have to come spying on me in this fashion?
22938What was the use of arguing with Polly when she was in this mood?
22938What would Miss Adams, for that matter, think of her?
22938What would her mother say to this latest of her escapades; and Mollie and Betty?
22938What would n''t you give for a glimpse of the Princess this afternoon?"
22938Where is she?
22938Where is she?"
22938Why on earth should it be?
22938Why should n''t she be?
22938Why should not disobedience make us unworthy to wear them?
22938Why should one girl care so much about the attitude of another one?
22938Why should she?
22938Why should the man behave so queerly?
22938Why, had they not worried her nearly to death simply because of her acquaintance with Miss Margaret Adams?
22938Why, if anything should happen to you what would she say to me or Molly and Betty, if knowing your intention I did not warn them?"
22938Wo n''t you find her and bring her here to me?"
22938Would any one ever have imagined that a garment could be so difficult to unfasten as this one she was now incased in?
22938Would n''t Polly be interested?
22938Would n''t it be too absurd to take cold at this particular time and so make a failure of her adventure?
22938Would she never be able to get away from serious thoughts tonight?
22938Would you like to see her?"
22938Yet do n''t you think perhaps_ you_ are breaking a part of our Camp Fire law?
22938Yet should he have taken advantage of Meg''s kindness and accepted her invitation?
22938Yet why should she have chosen to believe that she saw about the most unlikely person of her acquaintance?
22938You are going back to Woodford for Christmas?"
22938You could not very well have helped being my mother, could you?
22938You understand, do n''t you?"
20832A phrenological bump?
20832And why not?
20832Anything you wish, ladies?
20832Are they watching us yet?
20832But wo n''t they try to cover up the evidence that we are after?
20832By the way, Mrs. Graham, how well is the boy supplied with clothing?
20832By the way, may I come in?
20832Ca n''t we work out an honor plan as we decide upon our duties and how we are to perform them?
20832Ca n''t you guess?
20832Ca n''t you guess?
20832Ca n''t you point out from the lake the place or places where you think it would be well for us to locate our camp?
20832Can you shoot a catapult?
20832Did Mr. Langford say why they must be good to you while we were here?
20832Did anybody ever see it?
20832Did he see you?
20832Did n''t you ever hear the name Irving before?
20832Did they beat you today?
20832Did you hear that?
20832Do n''t you do anything for him?
20832Do n''t you girls camp out any?
20832Do n''t you know sister loves you just lots? 20832 Do n''t you see he''s scared nearly to death?
20832Do n''t you think a$ 25-a- day man ought to find out?
20832Do n''t you think it strange, Hazel, that your aunt should select a bunch of girls like us to do so important a piece of work as this?
20832Do such honors count for anything in the qualifications for higher rank?
20832Do they live near the Graham''s home in Baltimore?
20832Do you allow campers to pitch their tents on the land for a week or two at a time?
20832Do you live in the cottage over there?
20832Do you mean that we are going to be spies?
20832Do you really believe that boy is Glen Irving?
20832Do you really mean to accuse us of liking to talk better than anything else?
20832Do you suppose they wanted to be on hand to witness our discomfiture when we discovered what had been done to our swimming place?
20832Do you suppose they would do anything?
20832Glen what?
20832Have n''t you any idea who did it?
20832Have they done anything mean yet?
20832Have you a Liberty Bond?
20832Have you any reason to doubt it?
20832How do you know they are girls?
20832How do you make a slingshot?
20832How many are there?
20832How many of you would like to use catapults?
20832How will we test it?
20832I did n''t say so, did I?
20832I wonder why they came down here at this time of day?
20832In what way?
20832Is he all right now?
20832Is n''t 36 a double room?
20832Is n''t he someone connected with the Graham family?
20832Is n''t it Glen Irving?
20832Is n''t it just possible that this little boy''s fright is proof of the very condition we came here to expose?
20832Is that any of your business?
20832Is that so? 20832 Is there a crazy man running loose around here?"
20832It''s a case of her old suspicions being revived?
20832No, what is it?
20832No?
20832Not-- not Pierce Langford of-- of--?
20832Now do you get the connection between that remark and what just took place? 20832 Polly?
20832Quick, girls,cried Miss Ladd;"did any of you do that?"
20832Sure-- why not?
20832That''s your home, do n''t you know? 20832 Then why did they suggest such an idea?"
20832There are n''t any, are there?
20832Under what circumstances is such a proceeding authorized?
20832Was it Langford?
20832Well, how much do you want for this service?
20832Well, if the city directory fails to give you any information, what would you do next?
20832Well, what is it, Ethel?
20832Were there any other stones near there?
20832What can be the matter with him?
20832What can we do?
20832What can you do with them?
20832What did I tell you about this conduct of yours? 20832 What do you mean by that?"
20832What do you think all this talk about spies has been leading up to?--a Christmas present? 20832 What do you think?"
20832What does it mean to Teddy Bear one''s teeth?
20832What does it mean to Teddy Bear your teeth?
20832What else did you overhear?
20832What is your name, little boy?
20832What kind of honor would you confer on me if I exhibited great skill in spying on someone else?
20832What kind of honors would you propose, Ruth?
20832What kind of''goods''does she expect to get on me?
20832What shall it be?
20832What shall we do?
20832What shall we do?
20832What then?
20832What was he trying to do-- scare us?
20832What will you say when you catch somebody with jam on his fingers?
20832What would we do if we caught anybody at any mischief?
20832Where did you get that?
20832Where do they live?
20832Where do you get your information?
20832Where do you suppose they hid that rope?
20832Who are they?--how do you know they are here to spy on me?
20832Who in the world do you suppose did that?
20832Who is he?--have you any idea?
20832Who is the man?
20832Who wanted to beat you?
20832Who''s been peddling stories to her?
20832Why could n''t this expedition be arranged so that we girls could all win some honors out of it?
20832Why did you suggest a ghost even as a joke?
20832Why do n''t you like to spy on anybody?
20832Why not make them a permanent squad of scouts to go out and gather advance information needed at any time before we can determine what to do?
20832Why not?
20832Why?
20832Would n''t it be delightful if we could find a suitable place on the side of that hill and overlooking the lake? 20832 Would you mind telling us what has happened?"
20832You do n''t know what they proposed to do?
20832You heard that girl say he was her brother, did n''t you? 20832 But for what purpose? 20832 But how about my fee?
20832But how will you go about to get the information we now need?"
20832But what will you do after you have finished this task, which can hardly consume more than a few hours?"
20832But when do you want to go?"
20832But you meant it, did n''t you?"
20832By the way where are the child and the other members of your family?"
20832Can you tell me why?"
20832Dear me, girls, did you ever in all your born days hear such a voice?"
20832Did n''t any of you wonder what he meant?"
20832Do n''t you remember what Glen Irving said just before Addie Graham put in her appearance and cut short our interview with the boy?"
20832Do n''t you think you''d better call me Polly, too?"
20832Do you know the nicknames some of us are thinking of giving to her?"
20832Do you realize that you are bringing things to a climax where I''ll wash my hands of the whole affair?"
20832Do you think you ought to get more than a judge?"
20832Glen had heard them talking over their plans, is n''t it all very clear?"
20832Graham?"
20832Graham?"
20832Graham?"
20832Has it to do with the old subject?"
20832How many of you can do some real boys''stunts just as well as the boys can?"
20832How many of you feel that you can throw a stone a considerable distance and accurately?"
20832How many rubber bands have you, Helen?"
20832I suppose I shall have to admit that I am a very classy girl, because if I were n''t, I could n''t be associated with such a classy bunch-- see?
20832I suppose you are prepared to give me a check today?"
20832I wonder what for?"
20832Is it Glen?"
20832Is n''t that it?"
20832Now, can any of you surmise what specifically I am driving at?"
20832Now, here''s the question I want you to answer: Did anybody outside of the Graham family ever see them beat you?"
20832Now, what do you know about''first aid to the injured?''
20832Now, what do you think of that?
20832See that?"
20832That''s pretty hard for a bevy of girls who like to talk better than anything else, is n''t it?"
20832Then turning again to the crouching figure in the bushes, she said:"What is your name, little boy?
20832There, how''s that?
20832What did the unscrupulous lawyer-- that was the way Mrs. Hutchins had once referred to Pierce Langford-- have in mind to do?
20832What do you mean by that?"
20832What do you want to do with it?
20832What is this information that you come here primed with?
20832What next would you do?"
20832What next?
20832What would you propose, Hazel?"
20832Where are they going to locate?"
20832Where in the world will you go if you do n''t go back home?
20832Who speaks first with an idea?"
20832Why Polly?"
20832Why did you run away?
20832Why should we?
20832Will that be all right?"
20832Will you get some cold water and alcohol or liniment?
20832Would he make trouble for them in any way that would place them in an embarrassing position?
31748Am I now- ow?
31748And what about the second Get Together-- when is that to be?
31748Ar- re you-- going-- to desert me now?
31748Are n''t you coming in, Jessie?
31748Are n''t you coming, Thrush?
31748Are there any boys and girls who are dying to come with me, to prospect for water?
31748But how-- how are we to live through the next hundred hours-- the next four days-- the time the Thunder Bird will take to travel?
31748C- can''t you stay put for just a second? 31748 Can''t-- can''t I do-- anything-- to make you more comfortable?"
31748Did n''t I-- didn''t I t- tell you it was him?
31748Did you hear him whistle?... 31748 Do you think they would?
31748Do you-- do you know who he is; that biggest-- that gaudiest-- one among them?
31748Do-- do you know who he is?
31748Has n''t it the face of a cunning little kitten? 31748 Have-- have you any matches?"
31748He is n''t making that noise with his tail still; is he?
31748He''s big-- big for a garter, is n''t he, Buddy?
31748His name-- eh?
31748Hot ones, are they? 31748 How about my being your uncle, Treffrey Graham, my dear, who-- who was such a mad fellow-- in-- youth; s- such an oddity?
31748How about supper now? 31748 How are you going to signal-- with what code?"
31748How could I help-- remembering-- that icy train- wreck?
31748How cud ye be sech a nickum as to try sitting in yon-- Deev''s Chair?
31748How will he-- ever-- climb back up here again?
31748How-- how about sending over this message:''Two strange girls in camp; you ought to meet them''?
31748I wonder if he''s getting that off now? 31748 I wonder-- I wonder if the Terrible Treff ever married?"
31748I-- I wonder if you could tell me of what breed Ludlam''s dog was, sir? 31748 Is it an aëroplane?
31748Is n''t he the dearest thing? 31748 Melancholy so blooming thick that you could almost sup its sorrow with a spoon, eh?"
31748Now-- now what have you and I ever done that the Fates should wish this on to us-- that''s what I''d like to know?
31748Now-- now who wants to dress and come out in the boats for a study of pond- life under the microscope?
31748The pike? 31748 Was Mr. Treffrey Graham-- really-- such a-- zany?"
31748What is it? 31748 What next?
31748What''s a henkyl?
31748What''s that outside? 31748 What-- what did you find out about him?"
31748What-- what does that mean?
31748When the mountains cease playing blindman''s buff with each other, then-- then it will be time for our morning swim, wo n''t it? 31748 Where was that?
31748Where-- where are you, Ruddy? 31748 Where-- where is it-- the wishing- stone?"
31748Who ever thought Una would be such a brick?
31748Who''s doing it? 31748 Who-- is he?"
31748Who-- who are you?
31748Who-- who put that hoax over?
31748Who? 31748 Why- y?"
31748Why- y_ should_ we run up against them here? 31748 Why?"
31748Will it-- will it be an outdoor affair-- a piazza dance?
31748Yet how could he be so uncivil to us, really-- actually-- snub us, after all he did, too? 31748 You''re a chauffeur,"he pleaded;"you''ll drive fast?"
31748_ Did_ he?
31748''Was he?''
31748''Why did I do it?''
31748''With your permission,''where do you write from?"
31748A dead boy?
31748Already it had come to be"we"bound up with"What next?"
31748But if the nickum was not the thief,--who then?
31748But my cousin who''s pitcher on the team says in his opinion that was just''throwing a tub to a whale''--something fishy about it, see?"
31748But now-- now-- don''t you want to see it?"
31748But was it ventriloquism at large?
31748But what-- what was this?
31748But-- but what''s that?"
31748But-- what''s-- that?"
31748But_ what''s_ the noise-- like-- like somebody rattling little marbles, dry peas?"
31748Catching anything?"
31748Dad, what have you been doing to yourself-- now?"
31748Did she dream of the Earth- valentine in store for her, mild old Mammy Moon?
31748Dinna ye hear it, children?"
31748Dinna ye ken that ye hae a tongue to hold?"
31748Does n''t it seem queer-- queer-- outlandish?"
31748Ever-- ever see anything so crooked?"
31748Had he sipped of its mystery-- only to perish?
31748Had the hermit power to throw his melody right into the center of the ring of girls-- so to answer himself?
31748Having luck?
31748How on earth did it get in?
31748How was she to do it?
31748How-- how big was it?"
31748How-- how was she to make him feel it; she his little Wise Woman, his laboratory pal?
31748I was just in time, was n''t I?"
31748I wonder if the boys did catch it in the woods and thought it was a good''henkyl''to put down our chimney?"
31748I wonder if they''ll''get us'', those boys-- those joking Henkyl Hunters?"
31748I wonder what he''ll find in there?"
31748I''m like the big boy who saved us then, and was so jolly; I''m out for excitement if I''m warm enough to enjoy it, eh?"
31748In the blackness of that Tinker''s Pot behind the looming fissure, were there other things-- other things besides a boy, a broken braggart of a boy?
31748Is n''t it exquisite-- sublime?
31748Is that so?"
31748Now what is_ he_ singing?"
31748Now,--now where is that, Daddy?"
31748Now-- where are we?"
31748Only-- only, they breathlessly asked themselves:"What next?"
31748Or are you bent on leading us a dance through the woods?"
31748Or one so far gone from hanging that he could not be rescued?
31748Piles up the moon- going romance, eh?
31748Pity as well as''pep''in you, eh?
31748S.''?"
31748Some day-- some day, maybe, we''ll be shooting off there-- together?"
31748Some horripilation, eh?"
31748That''s what the Guardian meant when she spoke of showing us something-- a display-- with red fire, eh?"
31748Then what-- what?
31748W- what is it- t?"
31748Was Death in the pot with him?
31748Was ever such luck?"
31748Was it-- was it the unicorn; I-- I mean the oddity; the Thunder Bird''s rival for all- l that money?"
31748Was she being hurled with it through space, blank space, Absolute Zero, below what human instrument could register,--or human girl encounter and live?
31748Was she tearing with it?
31748Was she, she herself, just a shocked girl, at the heart of its rapid- fire explosions?
31748Was there-- could there be something familiar, half- familiar, about the faint, volcanic shout: some accent she seemed to have heard before?
31748Was-- was it the wind then?
31748We have to cross the river; have n''t we?"
31748Well,_ I''m_ off to locate a spring-- where''s the blue bucket?
31748Well-- if you feel-- you-- must?"
31748What have we h- here?"
31748What on earth... what in thunder''s got him?"
31748What''s that outside?"
31748What''s the charm now, the thing of beauty?
31748What''s the rumpus now-- the kettle o''fish?"
31748Where did it come from?"
31748Where''s that hermit-- or hermitess--''"merrily,"''with the frog in her throat, or the great, big worm?''"
31748Where''s the whistle-- the bird- caller''s whistle?"
31748Who could ev- er dream that he''d turn out such a''chuff'', as the boys say-- an un- civ- il chuff?...
31748Who pulled off that stunt-- on-- us?"
31748Who-- who knows what may come of it?"
31748Who?"
31748Why?
31748Will it-- really-- drop a pound weight of steel upon the head of the Man in the Moon?...
31748Will you look after them?
31748Ye dinna want to mak''o''that auld flat slab a tombstone, eh?"
31748Yet would they go under-- one or both-- perish in water not deep because of the starving cold, even if-- if the engine...?
31748_ Two_ aëroplanes?
31748_ What is it?_"Never was such an exciting reveille as girl by girl bounded up-- elastic-- fingering a brushed, a tickled cheek.
31748are you come to stay with us-- us?"
31748are you going to desert me now- ow?...
31748child, you''re not going off there to ski to- day-- in a zero world, everything snowbound, no trolley cars running?"
31748d''you suppose it played Santa itself?
31748do n''t I wish he''d hurry up and get here, now-- with the doctor?"
31748do n''t you want to-- follow-- suit?
31748do- o try it again, anyway?"
31748has n''t he the nerve, butting in?"
31748have you made any headway since?"
31748how about your spending a few days in camp with us then-- at our camp on the Bowl-- if your elders are willing?"
31748how did you ever learn to mimic its call, at all?"
31748if she were to give forth what Life gave to her, which of her Camp Fire Sisters would have such riches to reflect?
31748is n''t it the most wonderful-- wonderful season?
31748it''s never-- it is n''t, it ca n''t be Camp Fire Girls?"
31748it''s_ you_, is it?
31748lassie, an''air ye sech a fechless tomboy that a mon mun keep his een sticket on ye a''the time?"
31748let up-- let up-- will you?
31748or did the boys push it down?"
31748there''s no knowing what you and I may be doing yet, when we strain our wits to cracking, is there, Daddy- man?"
31748this is a peach of a cave; is n''t it?"
31748thought transcendent-- first bridged by her father''s genius?
31748we seem, truly-- truly-- to be treading the''margin of moonshine land'', do n''t we?"
31748what do you know about that?...
31748what-- what is it?"
31748who''s doing it-- answering?"
31748why- y did you do it?"
31748wo n''t it-- won''t it be a sight to watch-- it-- tear?"
31748would n''t I like to get a chance to snub him?"
31748would n''t his horn be exalted if he never came back?"
31748you''ve heard of him-- have-- you?"
6895A what?
6895And where are you taking me?
6895Are n''t we nearly there?
6895Are there five young ladies in tan suits here?
6895Are you going if it rains?
6895Are you looking for Margery Anderson?
6895Are you sure we did n''t dream that telegram?
6895Are you sure you did n''t pick it up somewhere without knowing it?
6895But how can anyone have you arrested if you did n''t steal anything?
6895But how did you get in here?
6895But what could we wear?
6895But why did he take our car first, if it was Margery he was after all the while?
6895But why go to Decatur?
6895Ca n''t you look where you''re going?
6895Could n''t we dig for oil?
6895Could she have possibly found her way up to that farmhouse?
6895Could you-- would you-- will you take me to Decatur?
6895Did Gladys start out with us, or did n''t she?
6895Did Sahwah get into the car again after she helped you open the gate?
6895Did she get our telegram?
6895Did she have on a tan suit like yours?
6895Did you have to dig a well first, before you got that gasoline?
6895Did you say my-- my uncle was in Chicago?
6895Did-- did the dogs frighten you?
6895Do n''t you take in tourists when the hotel is filled?
6895Do you feel ill?
6895Do you know the road to Decatur?
6895Do you know where they are?
6895Do you see a candy store anywhere?
6895Do you suppose,I said,"that Gladys could have misunderstood when you were playing''John Kempo''and thought it was the southern route that won?"
6895Do you want to go to Decatur very badly?
6895Does the water run down over the tip of your nose if your nose turns up? 6895 Girls,"said Nyoda,"what do you say to starting out for South Bend this very minute?
6895Had n''t you better have a doctor?
6895Have you an eye in the back of your head?
6895Have you any idea where they have gone now?
6895Have you no friends who would help you?
6895Hiding from what?
6895How about it?
6895How did you get into that car?
6895How did you get it, anyway?
6895How did-- how did you get in?
6895How does he go so fast without wheels?
6895How long ago did he start?
6895How were you intending to rent it out without any gasoline to run it?
6895How will we get word to Nyoda?
6895I wonder what the girls in Rochester have been doing all this time while they have been waiting for us?
6895If it starts to float,persisted Hinpoha,"do you suppose it will come this way, or will they have to steer it?
6895In whose house are we?
6895Is Miss Kent here with three girls?
6895Is n''t there a poem about''My beautiful Cannibalee?
6895Is n''t this Mrs. Butler''s house?
6895Is that so?
6895Is that your trunk, lady?
6895Is there-- is there really such a person as you say you are taking me to see, or are you taking me somewhere else?
6895Look at the stars,said Gladys hastily,"are n''t they brilliant to- night?"
6895Ma''m?
6895May I ask,inquired Gladys politely,"just what it was that caused you to make that remark at this time?"
6895May we look in?
6895My dear,she said, in a big sister tone,"are you running away from home?"
6895My uncle?
6895Not changing the subject,said Chapa,"but where are we going to stay to- night?"
6895Oh, do you suppose I could?
6895Pretty tough to be dead broke, ai nt it, lady?
6895Say,he called,"will you give me another dime if I tell you something?"
6895She does n''t keep track of rogues? 6895 Taking me back to him?"
6895Tell me at once,persisted the man,"are they here, or did they go by?"
6895Tell me,said Nyoda,"was your uncle the man with the goggles?"
6895Tell me,she said,"does your mother expect you to- morrow?"
6895That wind-- don''t you remember?
6895The southern route?
6895The southern route?
6895Then how does it come that you have the initials GME-- my initials-- on your trunk?
6895To whom are we indebted for this hospitality?
6895What are you doing here?
6895What business is it of yours?
6895What day was that?
6895What did the man look like?
6895What do you know?
6895What do you mean by''just like us?''
6895What do you mean to do?
6895What do you suppose they are?
6895What do you want?
6895What family do apples belong to, anyway?
6895What for? 6895 What good would he be if we had him?"
6895What have we done?
6895What is it, Nyoda?
6895What is it?
6895What is it?
6895What made you hide in the car?
6895What on earth can be the reason?
6895What time does the Louisville train leave Decatur?
6895What time is it?
6895What time was it when we sent that wire to my bank?
6895What time were they here?
6895What was in your trunk, lady?
6895What will we do now?
6895What will we do?
6895What''s in there?
6895What''s the matter here?
6895What''s the matter with you?
6895What''s the matter?
6895What''s this in the road?
6895What?
6895Whatever would anyone want with a trunkful of this stuff?
6895When is the next train to Louisville?
6895Where are they?
6895Where did we have it last? 6895 Where did you get the trunk and from whom?"
6895Where does the man in the moon go when it turns into a sickle?
6895Where was Moses when the light went out?
6895Where''s the other one?
6895Where?
6895Which one is Miss Elizabeth Kent?
6895Who are you?
6895Who do you suppose the girl in blue is with Gladys?
6895Who would ever dream she could drive a car?
6895Who''s making puns now?
6895Why did n''t we think of it before?
6895Why do n''t you want to eat if you''re hungry?
6895Will you kindly tell me what you mean?
6895Will you please come outside and explain yourself,said Nyoda,"where it wo n''t excite this sick girl?"
6895Would n''t you like to have me drive over and get the doctor from B---- as soon as the tires are on?
6895Would you get through any better if you threw me overboard?
6895Would you?
6895Yes,we answered eagerly,"have you seen her?"
6895You are in trouble?
6895You are n''t going to stop here, are you?
6895You did n''t get it this morning when we were looking through the stores?
6895You got a second wire off to Nyoda before the storm?
6895You know how much we talked about being self- reliant? 6895 You say your name is Johnson?"
6895You will run off and leave me, will you?
6895You''ll send a wire for us?
6895After she found out what about us?
6895Also that the servants must have been in the plot, for how else had our get away been made so easy?
6895And how came the Glow- worm to be standing at the door ready to drive away?
6895And where did they go?"
6895Are you sure it was a brown car with four girls dressed just like us?"
6895But how came it into Nyoda''s coat pocket?
6895But how was Nyoda to know that she was safe in Chicago?
6895But if he was a detective, why did he not boldly march up to Margery and attempt to take her away from us?
6895But if he were a detective, why had he attempted to steal the Glow- worm?
6895But then, who had given us the address of 22 Spring Street when Mrs. Moffat had turned us out?
6895But was there a single feature about the whole trip that was as it should have been?
6895But why did he always loiter in the background and never openly molest us?
6895But why had he run away from us when we tried to overtake him?
6895Can you tell us what the man''s name is?"
6895Could it be possible, I thought, that two people could come so near to finding each other and yet be just too late?
6895Could it have been only a few hours before that we came near burning to death?
6895Could n''t you?"
6895Could they be after us on account of the necklace?
6895Did things ever happen to other people the way they happened to us?
6895Do you belong to her company, too?
6895Gladys and the others not in Ft. Wayne?
6895Gladys in Indianapolis?
6895Had he gone to Mrs. Moffat with some story about us which had caused her to put us out?
6895Had the fairies been playing tricks on us?
6895Had we been carrying Gladys''s trunk ever since we left home?
6895How did Nyoda know he was there?
6895How had Gladys in Indianapolis received the telegram we had sent to Chicago, giving our address in Rochester?
6895How soon would they know at home?
6895If Dr. Caxton called that scarlet fever, what would he call a real case of scarlet fever?"
6895If Gladys had not come along the northern route, how came her trunk to be in Wellsville?
6895If they were n''t there, where were they?
6895Is there anything the matter?"
6895Margery looked so dismayed that Nyoda said hastily,"Why wo n''t you go to Ft. Wayne and get the train there?
6895Nyoda came to a sensible conclusion first, as she always does,"Where are they?"
6895Nyoda was responsible for the welfare of seven girls and how could she fulfil her trust if she had only three under her eye?
6895Oh, Gladys, do you mind if I open the trunk here on the road?
6895Sahwah, yours turns up, will you look and see which way the rain- drops are going?"
6895She turned them out of the house when she found out about them?
6895So she sent the wire we received that morning in Rochester:"Where on earth are you?
6895Stupefied, Gladys gave it to him and he ran off down the street"What did he say?"
6895The four girls were evidently ours, but who was the one in blue?
6895Then why did Nyoda and I both have the same feeling toward him?
6895This is the road to Bryan, is n''t it?"
6895This is what we read:"Where on earth are you?
6895Took you in beautifully, did n''t I?"
6895Was Margery the cause of it?
6895Was the Frog at the bottom of it?
6895Was the Striped Beetle a myth?
6895Was this also a part of the witchcraft that had sent Gladys''s trunk to us so mysteriously?
6895We''ll have to keep him now, I suppose, but do you want to look at them anyhow?
6895What could be the meaning of the woman''s words?
6895What do you suppose has happened?"
6895What had caused the change in her manner toward us?
6895What made her think the girls were rogues?
6895What on earth has happened?"
6895What was she doing there?
6895What was this baffling thing that we were running up against of late?
6895What were Nyoda and the girls doing in Rochester, when they had been on the road to Chicago two days before?
6895What''s the trouble?"
6895Whatever could have made Gladys change her mind without letting us know?
6895Whatever has happened?
6895Whatever was to become of them?
6895When did a loaded car ever outrun a motorcycle?
6895When had we left the house and where were we now?
6895When she saw us standing there she came up to us and under the pretense of offering us refreshments she whispered:"You are looking for the way out?
6895Where do you think we had better go to inquire?"
6895Where was the trunk now?
6895Where''s the other nickel?"
6895Who would not have done the same thing in our place?
6895Why did they make no attempt to take her away from us?
6895Wo n''t we have the laugh on them, though, when we meet them at the city limits?"
6895Would n''t we laugh to see them standing around some garage waiting impatiently for the damage to be mended?"
6895Would the steering- wheel be any good, I wonder, or would they have to have a rudder?
6895Would they call later?
6895Would we ever be identified?
6895Would you mind telling me whether it is your own or not?"
6895You take it on to the next town and tell''em you did n''t find it till you got there, see?"
6895cried Nyoda,"is it true?"
6895said Nyoda the second time,"is it true?"
18606A broken arm? 18606 A which?"
18606And for vy did you not set it right away yourself, like dat Missis Migvan did?
18606And you''ll like Sahwah and let her like you, wo n''t you?
18606Are n''t we all going together?
18606Are n''t we going to have the lantern lit?
18606Are n''t you going to get up, Gladys?
18606Are n''t you going to reward your gallant troubadour by tossing him a flower or a glove, or something?
18606Are there different kinds of ferns and grasses?
18606Are you really willing to give me another chance?
18606Are you so anxious to see your troubadour that you forget to talk?
18606Are you sure she is n''t hiding about the camp to surprise us?
18606Awfully sorry,''Wisi, I dropped it in off the tower,said Sahwah, tendering her the glass,"will getting it wet hurt it any?"
18606But how can you tell in advance that you and Gladys are going to be affinities?
18606But suppose there should n''t be a symbol in the book that fitted the name I chose?
18606But that''s nothing to cry about,said Nyoda,"do n''t you know that wild ducks are game birds?
18606Ca n''t we take our dip even if it is raining?
18606Ca n''t you stay a spell, girls, and rest up?
18606Ca n''t you tell someone where I am?
18606Can you describe the men?
18606Coming in for a dip, Gladys?
18606Could you swear to that description?
18606Did I jump off in my sleep?
18606Did anybody catch up with anybody else today?
18606Did my arm make me so sick?
18606Did n''t it occur to you that it''s dishonest to do things on the sly like that?
18606Did n''t one of your girls tow in another one with both her arms broken?
18606Did you ever see such a downpour?
18606Did you get everything?
18606Did you know that we were n''t to buy candy and eat it between meals, or did n''t you?
18606Do n''t you feel well, dear?
18606Do n''t you really like him?
18606Do you have different grades in swimming, too?
18606Do you really know me?
18606Do you think these beads would be pretty hanging down this way?
18606Does it?
18606Does this count toward our honor for sleeping five nights on the ground?
18606Have a piece of candy?
18606Have n''t you some more stuff I can illustrate? 18606 Have you any middies you want washed?"
18606Have you been sitting here all night?
18606Have you caught sight of Balsam Lake yet?
18606Have you decided on a name?
18606How about all of us winning this honor for planning an outing to include as many boys as girls?
18606How am I going to help Gladys learn to swim if she wo n''t let me?
18606How are we going to get across?
18606How are we going?
18606How did you happen to tip over?
18606How do you do, Miss Kent?
18606How do you do, girls?
18606How soon can you have it developed?
18606Hunting what?
18606I mean your real names,answered Gladys,"you do n''t expect me to remember all those Camp Fire names, do you?"
18606If I may intrude such a material question among your ethereal desires,she continued,"how are you going to get your blankets up there?"
18606If it was n''t for what?
18606Is Alpha still standing?
18606Is it all over?
18606Is it, Nyoda?
18606Is n''t it blessed luck that it''s my left one,she declared over and over again,"and does n''t interfere much with what I want to do?"
18606Is n''t it fine to be dry again?
18606Is n''t it glorious?
18606Is n''t the water delicious?
18606Is she dead?
18606Is the water cold?
18606May I ask who our guests are going to be?
18606May I sleep out in the_ Keewaydin_ to- night?
18606May I take one, Nyoda?
18606May n''t I have this one?
18606Now then,said Nyoda when they had washed their blackened hands and faces,"who had charge of putting out the camp fire last night?"
18606Now, Gladys,she said reassuringly,"do you believe, down deep in your heart, that I would let go of you and let you drown?"
18606O dear,sighed Migwan one night,"why do we have to go to bed at all?
18606Oh, Nyoda,she exclaimed tragically,"what will I do?
18606Oh, let me see some of it, wo n''t you, Migwan, dear?
18606Oh, what is it?
18606On what?
18606Quick, where''s my glass?
18606Sahwah, Sahwah,said Nyoda, shaking her head,"you will never learn to be careful of other people''s things?"
18606Sahwah, you naughty girl, what did you swim all the way home for?
18606Sahwah,cried Nyoda, hastily coming up on the dock,"where is the sheet you were going to wave from the tower when the_ Bluebird_ came in sight?"
18606Sahwah,said Nyoda severely,"is that the best hitch- knot you can tie?
18606Shall I hold your hand the first time?
18606Shall we land until it has passed?
18606Should n''t I, Nyoda?
18606Sister Anne, sister Anne,called Migwan from the rocks below,"do you see any one coming?"
18606Sleep in the tree- house?
18606So you''re Camp Fire Girls, are you?
18606Swim one hundred yards--was it really true?
18606Tell her what?
18606That you do what?
18606Vell, Missis Sahvah,he would always say on these occasions,"how many ladies haf you pushed by de neck across de top of de lake to- day?"
18606Vell, vich von of de ladies has been celebrating dis time?
18606Wait a minute,said Sahwah suddenly,"where are we going to get the pole to raise the flag on?"
18606Was it a girl or a boy?
18606Was n''t it a grand success all the way through?
18606Was n''t it wonderful?
18606Well, what is it?
18606Well, what of it?
18606Well, what shall it be?
18606What are they?
18606What are we running away for?
18606What are we to carry with us?
18606What are you always writing in that book of yours?
18606What are you doing?
18606What are you going to do with all that money?
18606What boat?
18606What college are you going to?
18606What could we use for one?
18606What did you take a canoe out for, you goose?
18606What do you mean by that?
18606What do you want?
18606What does this mean?
18606What for?
18606What happens if everything is n''t in applepie order?
18606What if it rains?
18606What is it, Nyoda, a canoe trip?
18606What is it, dear?
18606What is it?
18606What is it?
18606What next?
18606What of it?
18606What on earth can it be?
18606What shall I do then?
18606What was it? 18606 What was what?"
18606What was wrong with us?
18606What were some of those songs we sang on the hike?
18606What will I do?
18606What will you take for this film?
18606What would Nyoda say?
18606What''s a book- plate?
18606What''s a square knot?
18606What''s going to happen?
18606What''s it for?
18606What''s that?
18606What''s the joke?
18606What''s the matter, Gladys, have you seen a ghost?
18606What''s the matter, Grumpy?
18606What''s the matter?
18606What''s the matter?
18606What''s the matter?
18606What''s the matter?
18606What''s this?
18606What_ will_ we do, Nyoda?
18606Whatever possessed you to jump off the tower?
18606When are we going to start?
18606When did he disappear?
18606When may I go out in a canoe?
18606Where am I?
18606Where are we going to hang our clothes?
18606Where are we going?
18606Where are you going with your blankets?
18606Where are you going?
18606Where did we lose our two points, Nyoda?
18606Where did you get that candy?
18606Where will we get the flag?
18606Where''s Gladys?
18606Which one?
18606Which path did they take, I wonder?
18606Who and who are going to be partners?
18606Who can be coming to see us?
18606Who could bear to go to bed on a night like this? 18606 Who says it''s dishonest to break silly rules?"
18606Who will do the raising?
18606Who''ll take care of the camp while we''re away?
18606Who''s game to put on her bathing suit and dance in the rain?
18606Why did n''t I think to fill her up before we left?
18606Why did n''t you wait until supper time and pass it around?
18606Why do n''t you bring your Craft work and keep me company?
18606Why do n''t you eat it?
18606Why not?
18606Why should n''t I?
18606Why, Nyoda, of course,said Migwan,"who else?"
18606Why?
18606Wo n''t you let me help you?
18606Wonder what they meant by that?
18606Would n''t it float in by itself?
18606Would n''t you like a committee to arrange that?
18606Would n''t you like to bring some more of the boys, and come and see all of us?
18606Would you like us to tow you in so you can get a fill- up?
18606You are n''t going to leave the sides of the tent rolled up all night, are you?
18606You are n''t going to put those beads on your dress, are you?
18606You big boob,he said,"why do n''t you take that Gladys girl away from Miss Kent and keep her entertained?
18606You came down at last?
18606You have this picture?
18606You know that the girls are not trying to make it unpleasant for you, do n''t you, now?
18606You mean Gladys?
18606You vill write to me, yes?
18606You vould like von of de liddle cats, yes?
18606_ And_ now,he said, looking around,"de lady vot got drowned, vere is she?"
18606: Aunt Sally is going to Atlantic City in August; may I go with her?"
18606A scarf, a white skirt with a seam burst open, a tie with a spot of ink in it, a half- worn bathing cap-- what could induce any one to take them?
18606But do you want to?
18606By the way, Sahwah, whom would you suggest for a seating- arrangements committee?"
18606By the way, have you ever swum as far as Blueberry Island?
18606Ca n''t you work your way through and go anyhow?"
18606Can you tell us which is Wharton''s Landing?"
18606Could she bear to cloud them over with grief and disappointment?
18606Could she bear to fall forever?
18606Do you mind if I take your laundry bag down?
18606For goodness sake, what is she doing now?"
18606Gladys finally relieved her of the task by asking:"What was it Sahwah was saying about me this afternoon when she was talking with her hands?"
18606Gladys, would you like to come to the village with me this afternoon?"
18606Has somebody taken it for a joke?
18606Have you anything to suggest?"
18606How could she ever take her hands from her face and look at them again?
18606How did it come that you were out in a canoe and had to be rescued?"
18606How would you feel like giving a show for nobody''s benefit?
18606I wonder if anybody would see us if we ran up a distress signal?"
18606If I come for you to- night will you go out canoeing with me, just you alone?
18606Is n''t that a good idea?"
18606Just what would be her estimate of you?
18606Might not the taking of the unimportant things at first be a deliberate blind?
18606Miss Kent,"she called, as their guardian passed by with an armful of firewood,"I may put these beads on my ceremonial costume, may n''t I?"
18606Now, do we need any more committees?"
18606Now, what kind of water sports shall we have?"
18606Nyoda taught them a new game, called"Johnny, Where Are You?"
18606Nyoda, wo n''t you dress up like a witch to- night and tell our fortunes?"
18606O Sahwah,"she cried, burying her face in the blankets,"how can I ever repay you for what you have done?"
18606Oh, what do you suppose she''ll be like, anyway?"
18606Oh, what was it?"
18606Only to Gladys''s,"Will he stop serenading us now?"
18606Sahwah and her swimming-- could she have the heart to separate them?
18606See my design?
18606Shall we have a celebration?"
18606She could not help wondering-- would it ever come to that in earnest?
18606That reminds me,"she went on,"has anybody seen that yellow scarf I had last night when I was dancing the''Daffodil''?
18606Then each one in turn had to call,"Johnny, where are you?"
18606Then followed a many- pointed symbol and the words,"See our combination symbol?
18606Was it an original idea?"
18606Was this semi- military training of the Camp Fire girls all over the country a prophetic flash?
18606What are you doing?"
18606What does the ceremonial dress mean to you?
18606What ever possessed me this afternoon, and what must you think of me?"
18606What had become of Migwan?
18606What would one Winnebago gain by taking the other girls''clothes?
18606Where are your manners, anyway, leaving her without a partner?"
18606Why wo n''t the other kind do?"
18606Wo n''t it seem queer, not to be eating and sleeping together any more?"
18606Wo n''t you be our guests until then?
18606Would n''t you like me to illustrate it for you?
18606Would the nightmare never come to an end?
18606You do n''t want her to go on feeling that way, do you?"
18606You vould like to see my son Heinrich, yes?"
18606continued Nyoda,"a flag raising and a bonfire and some canoe races?"
18606cried Sahwah, hopping up and down on one foot,"when are we going to start?"
18606echoed Nyoda,"is n''t there room enough in the tent?"
18606said Nyoda,"what is the matter with your face?"
18606she continued, edging, back a little, as if she were afraid they might also enfold her in a wet embrace,"would you mind telling me your names?"
18606she said mockingly, holding out the box,"or are you afraid to do that too?"
15726A witness?
15726After all, what''s the harm? 15726 Against the sun, so that it''s sort of pink where the sun strikes it?"
15726Ai n''t it too bad?
15726Ai n''t it your business to get people into lawsuits?
15726And he would n''t even see you to explain?
15726And you''ll let us know if there''s any news of Zara, Mr. Jamieson, wo n''t you?
15726Are n''t you going to stop here?
15726Are you going to let him do it?
15726Are you living here in the city now? 15726 Are you staying down here together?
15726Are you sure you know where you''re going?
15726Bessie,said Eleanor, after breakfast,"this is rather different from the Hoovers, is n''t it?"
15726But I like vacations too, do n''t you? 15726 But do n''t you feel much better when you do n''t eat candy and drink sodas between meals?"
15726But do n''t you suppose you can find anyone who saw it before they had a chance to change the numbers?
15726But if you''re lost, how do you know where you''re going?
15726But the ribbon-- why should that be in his car?
15726But there are lots and lots of Camp Fires in country places, are n''t there, Miss Eleanor? 15726 But what''s the use of hating him, Zara?"
15726But why did you bring Mr. Holmes along?
15726But why should n''t they try to get hold of her themselves, if that''s what they want?
15726But, Dolly, do you think you can keep Jake Hoover quiet? 15726 But, Miss Eleanor, do you remember when you asked him about Hedgeville, he said he''d never been there?"
15726By herself, or do n''t you know?
15726Come, come; what''s this?
15726Could you find out what was wrong?
15726Did you have to go to the city to do that?
15726Did you hear how ready he was to tell just which pocket she had it in? 15726 Did you really do that, Bessie?
15726Did you really think we''d take your word against those two girls you treated so shamefully today? 15726 Do n''t you ever have any fun?
15726Do n''t you love the smell of hay, Bessie?
15726Do n''t you? 15726 Do you know I''ve got the strangest feeling that she''s in trouble?
15726Do you mind if I snore?
15726Do you think there is any real danger, Charlie?
15726Do you think there''s any danger of his coming back?
15726Do you work all the time?
15726Does n''t that house look creepy, through the trees, with the moonlight on it? 15726 Does n''t this car ever slow down at all between stations?"
15726Got yer, ai n''t I?
15726Had enough?
15726Have I done anything to make you feel bad? 15726 Here Holmes, where are you going?
15726Here, are you going to lock that girl up as a thief or not?
15726Here, here; what''s all this fuss about?
15726Here, you big bully, what are you trying to do?
15726Holmes acted as if you had treated him badly, did n''t he, when you took his car? 15726 How are we going to get home?"
15726How did you find out about this house?
15726How do you know that?
15726How''s that?
15726How, Bessie?
15726How-- why should n''t I know? 15726 I got a right to hold her, have n''t I?"
15726I suppose it''s safe to walk along the road here?
15726I thought--"You thought it would be more like the Hoover farm, did n''t you?
15726I wonder if you are n''t a little bit homesick, down in your heart, Bessie?
15726I''ve told you that, have n''t I? 15726 I?
15726If Miss Mercer knows where we are and said it was all right for us to stay it must be all right, Bessie, must n''t it?
15726Is n''t he splendid-- so brave and strong?
15726Is this young lady a friend of yours?
15726It''s fun teasing people when they get mad, but what''s the use when they think it''s a joke?
15726Killing that poor pheasant? 15726 Look here, what do you think you''re doing?
15726Look, is n''t that cloud of dust on the road there coming this way? 15726 Mercer Farm, huh?"
15726Miss King, is it not-- Miss Bessie King, Miss Mercer''s friend? 15726 Must you really go now?"
15726My, is n''t it warm?
15726Not really? 15726 Now then, whose pocket was picked?
15726Now, you wo n''t be so unkind as to let Miss Dolly come with me alone, will you? 15726 Oh Bessie, you''re not going to be mean about it, and keep on being angry?
15726Oh, Bessie, are you sure? 15726 Oh, Miss Mercer, what do we have to do this morning?"
15726Oh, is that so?
15726Really, is that so, Mr. Holmes? 15726 Say, is that big lout trying to catch you two?"
15726Say, mister, say,begged the boy,"listen here a minute, will yer?
15726See, Bessie, do n''t you know who that is, even in those clothes?
15726See, Bessie? 15726 Shall we see Mr. Jamieson while we''re down town?"
15726Surely nothing Miss Eleanor has said has hurt you, Zara? 15726 The car''ll be stopping by accident like, and how should I know what you''re going to do?
15726Then may I go?
15726Then we shall have to put off Arkville to another day, you think, Miss Mercer?
15726Then you think she''s well and happy?
15726Then you''ll keep on working and you''ll try to find out what''s become of Zara, too?
15726Think I''m in that sort of business?
15726This is fine fun,said Holmes, who was standing with Miss Mercer and Jamieson:"A regular old- fashioned straw ride, eh?"
15726This is n''t the place you mean, is it?
15726Thought you was mighty smart, foolin''me, did n''t yer? 15726 We''ll be able to take walks and go for straw rides here, wo n''t we, Wanaka?"
15726We''ll look after you now, Did n''t they treat you well here?
15726Well, I''m glad we know just where we are, but how are we going to get back, Bessie? 15726 Well, I''ve helped you out again, have n''t I?"
15726Well, have you thought of any way of getting back to the farm except by the trolley?
15726Well, how in the world did you get here?
15726Well, then, ca n''t you see? 15726 Well, what are you doing here?"
15726Well, why do n''t we just strike the trolley at another place?
15726Well, you understand, then?
15726Well-- but do you always want to do what you''re supposed to do?
15726What are you butting in for?
15726What are you going to do now?
15726What can he want here?
15726What do you know about that for a mess, eh? 15726 What do you mean, Charlie?"
15726What is it?
15726What is that? 15726 What shall we do, Mr. Jamieson?
15726What sort of game are yez tryin''to put up on us here?
15726What was the matter then? 15726 What would she have been doing in Mr. Holmes''car?
15726What''ll I do if they come to the trolley line?
15726What''s happened? 15726 What''s the matter, Central?
15726What''s the use? 15726 When are we going, Miss Eleanor?"
15726Where do you live, Dolly?
15726Where''s the ice?
15726Which of you was he after? 15726 Who is this Hoover?
15726Who''d ever think a pretty young gal like her would try to rob an old man-- hey?
15726Why do n''t you cheer up, Miss Bessie? 15726 Why is Jake Hoover going down that way?
15726Why the boys went to the city?
15726Why, Zara, what''s the matter? 15726 Why, how do you mean?
15726Why, what do you mean? 15726 Why, what makes you think that?"
15726Will you, really?
15726Would n''t you rather live in the city, though?
15726You arrest her or I''ll--"What will yez do, ye spalpeen?
15726You did? 15726 You do n''t, do you?"
15726You hear that, Zara? 15726 You waiting for a car, too?
15726You wo n''t leave us behind?
15726You wo n''t need Bessie, then, right away?
15726You''ll call for us tomorrow, though, wo n''t you, Charlie, to take Zara to see her father?
15726You''re going to stop in the grounds and have a picnic, or something like that, eh? 15726 You''re just like me-- you have n''t any mother or sister, have you?"
15726You''ve seen her this way before, you say?
15726A judge, I mean?"
15726And do you remember, we got in on the other side, so that that door was n''t opened then?"
15726And if he did, was n''t there a chance that he might be willing to talk to her, if she could only manage to see him?
15726And is n''t he acting queerly?"
15726And you''re not sorry for that, are you?"
15726And, as I understand it, this Weeks is pretty close-- pretty fond of money, is n''t he?"
15726And-- well, that sort of helps to get us started, does n''t it?
15726Are n''t you hungry, too?
15726Are you sure now?"
15726As if he was hurt by your thinking that he did n''t mean to do just what he said?"
15726Besides, it''s early yet, and I think we ought to have as much of a ride as we can, do n''t you?"
15726Bessie, do n''t you think Zara must have gone with those people in the car willingly?"
15726But now you''re not going to keep on being mean?
15726But suppose some news came when we were out?"
15726But what''s that got to do with it?"
15726But you would n''t expect us to get along without them now, would you?"
15726But, after all, if it had n''t happened that way, we''d never have met Miss Eleanor and the Camp Fire Girls, would we?
15726Ca n''t you finish your shopping, and then let me run you out to Arkville for luncheon?"
15726Ca n''t you trust me?"
15726Can you walk with me as I go home?"
15726Conductor?"
15726Did n''t you tell me that you used to live in Hedgeville?
15726Do n''t you ever meet a couple of girls and treat them to ice- cream soda, for instance?"
15726Do n''t you love the movies?"
15726Do n''t you see that they''re being spied on already?"
15726Do n''t you think he means to keep his word?"
15726Do n''t you think so?"
15726Do n''t you think so?"
15726Do n''t you think we ought to tell Mr. Jamieson about it right away?"
15726Do you know him?"
15726Do you know when we can get a train at Tecumseh for Deer Crossing?"
15726Do you remember, Dolly?
15726Do you see that lane that comes into the road just beyond that big oak tree?
15726Do you see that white house on top of the hill?"
15726Do you see that window at the side of the store?
15726Do you see?
15726Eh?"
15726Has anything gone wrong here?"
15726Has something gone wrong?"
15726Have you found out anything, Charlie?"
15726Have you got that map we took from the car?
15726He does n''t know what I look like, does he?"
15726He''s got another lawyer, and who do you suppose it is?"
15726Holmes?"
15726Holmes?"
15726How did you and Dolly Ransom get along?"
15726How many acres did Paw Hoover have?
15726How soon does the next one come along?"
15726How''d he have known that-- unless he put it there, eh?"
15726Hullo, what''s the matter now?"
15726I guess you know too much about one sort of farm to want ever to see another, do n''t you?"
15726I hope it has n''t made any difference-- that you did n''t want us?
15726I suppose you''d rather live in the country, though?"
15726I think I''d better just let them catch me, and take a chance of getting away afterward--""Bessie King, do you think I''d let you anything like that?
15726I thought at first--""Yes?"
15726I wonder if I''ll ever be able to learn to drive a car like that?
15726I wonder if Miss Eleanor and Mr. Jamieson will believe that I was right about Mr. Holmes now?
15726I wonder if there''s any place around here where you can buy ice- cream soda?
15726I wonder what he''s doing out this way?"
15726Is n''t there something I can do, please?
15726Is that you, Weeks?"
15726Is there a station on this trolley line before we come to Tecumseh?"
15726It would have taken you an hour to get down town if you''d walked all the way, would n''t it, Miss Eleanor?"
15726It''s a good thing we did n''t try to go much further, is n''t it?
15726It''s a lovely ride, is n''t it?
15726Jamieson?"
15726Jamieson?"
15726Just what do you know about them?"
15726Know where that is?"
15726Leave them alone, do you hear?
15726Let''s go off by ourselves to- morrow and explore, shall we?"
15726Mine, is n''t it?
15726Norris?"
15726Norris?"
15726Oh, you''re not going, are you?
15726One of the people Bessie lived with, in Hedgeville?"
15726Remember that, will you?"
15726Say, why do n''t you wait here and talk to a feller?"
15726See that little brook?
15726See?
15726See?
15726She would n''t go off that way just from brooding, would she, just from thinking about things?"
15726Suppose she knows something without knowing at all what it means, or how important it is?
15726Surely you wo n''t refuse to let me make myself useful to a young lady in distress?"
15726That shows you were mistaken, does n''t it, and that it was n''t so wicked of me to get you to come?"
15726That''s your bicycle, is n''t it?"
15726The only reason he pretended afterwards that he was joking was so that Jake would n''t be too frightened to do anything, do n''t you think so?"
15726The young fellow with the brown suit, is it?"
15726There''s no use crying over spilt milk, is there?
15726This stunt you pulled off this morning is pretty nigh to bein''kidnappin''--know that?"
15726Was n''t that a mean thing for him to do?
15726Was n''t that an outrage?"
15726Was n''t the surprise worth waiting for?"
15726Watch the old beggar run, will you?"
15726We''re coming into it now, do you see?
15726Well, Dolly, will you forgive me now for not telling you before?
15726What are you doing in your store clothes, just as if you were on your way to church?"
15726What made her act so?
15726What object could he have in trying to deceive us?"
15726What right have you to bring this crowd in here, Jamieson?"
15726What sort of a charge ye''re after makin''?"
15726What startled you so?"
15726What will you do if you really ca n''t have one, Dolly?"
15726What?
15726Where am I?
15726Where did the last letter they wrote come from?"
15726Where did you find it?"
15726Where shall we go, eh?"
15726Whose fault is it that you''re in this trouble?
15726Why are you crying?"
15726Why did you remind me?"
15726Why should they want to take her away now?"
15726Why?"
15726Will you be here in this store, Miss Eleanor, when I come back?"
15726Will you take me upstairs to where you''ve got Zara hidden?
15726Will you, please-- and by myself?
15726Wo n''t I be able to see Zara''s father, after all?"
15726Would n''t it be a dreadful amount of trouble to you?
15726Would n''t it be dreadful to have escaped this far, and then be caught just when everything seemed to be all right?
15726Would n''t you?
15726You do n''t know about that, do you?
15726You do n''t mean they have n''t even got a moving picture place In Hedgeville?
15726You do n''t want to let Mr. Holmes know what I was doing, do you?
15726You know all about farms, do n''t you?
15726You know why your father''s in trouble?
15726You left him back there at Tecumseh, eh?
15726You like the country, do n''t you, Zara?"
15726You never did anything to him, did you?"
15726You never saw anyone who told you that as long as your father could n''t look after you any more, you would have to stay with this Weeks, did you?
15726You never saw automobile parties on trips going through, did you?"
15726You remember-- you know what happened when we were on our way to General Seeley''s place, when that man caught Zara and carried her off?"
15726You say you''ll punish me if I do n''t make good; how about payin''me if I do?"
15726You think they''re bad for me, do n''t you?"
15726You will try to get her back, wo n''t you, even if she did go with them willingly?"
15726You wo n''t be late?
15726You wo n''t be long, will you?"
15726You wo n''t tell Miss Eleanor, will you?
15726You''ll be there, eh?
15726You''ll help me, wo n''t you?"
15726You''ve got the papers?
15726Yours, young lady?"
15726he said:"Jump in, wo n''t you?
15726he snarled,"Want to get yourself in jail?"
15726said Jamieson, heartily,"That''s what I''ve thought from the start, and do n''t you see who it probably was?
29528''I beg your pardon,''she said,''but do you know that you are trespassing?'' 29528 ''Well, you know it now, do n''t you?''
29528And do you see that other mountain that seems to be right next to it? 29528 And the ones who finish first will be pathfinders?"
29528And was Bessie in this too?
29528And you mean that he''ll think he''s doing the right thing?
29528Are they going to send them to prison?
29528Are we going home?
29528Are we going to let them think they can play a trick like that on us and not hear anything at all about it?
29528Are we to cook lunch as soon as we all get to the camping spot?
29528Are you going back to the city to- night, Charlie?
29528Are you going to let them get those gypsies out of jail?
29528Because he''s so rich?
29528But hearing them was pretty nearly as fine, was n''t it?
29528But if that''s so, why are the trees cut down so often?
29528But if we''re ready to start eating first we can start clearing up first, too, ca n''t we?
29528But look here, Charlie-- isn''t this proof?
29528But the records are here, are they not? 29528 But there''s no fence, and there are n''t any signs, so how is one to know?"
29528But what is there to do about that?
29528But, Mr. Niles, what is this absurd story about my cousin, Mr. Jamieson? 29528 Ca n''t some of us go and help, Miss Mercer?"
29528Can he do that, now that they''ve seen that letter?
29528Can those boys really cook, Miss Eleanor?
29528Could they manage that differently?
29528Did he want them to let Lolla and Peter go, too?
29528Did the Indians really use those signals?
29528Did we, girls?
29528Did you ever hear the old saying that pride goes before a fall? 29528 Did you hear them yell?"
29528Do n''t we do anything like that at all?
29528Do n''t you remember how you laughed at me then for saying I did n''t like him, and that I thought he might be mixed up in Zara''s disappearance?
29528Do you know that you are trespassing?
29528Do you mean to say that it is on such a charge as that that he has been arrested?
29528Do you mean to say that''s what you did?
29528Do you really think they''ll manage to get it postponed after to- morrow?
29528Do you see Mount Grant, the big one in the center, there?
29528Do you suppose it was some careless campers who started it, Miss Eleanor?
29528Do you think we can get behind them, Bessie?
29528Dolly, why do n''t you go over and see Gladys, if you know her so well? 29528 Everything else ready?
29528Girls, what do you think about those cats in the next camp?
29528Have you ever tasted any of their cooking?
29528He thought everyone would just blame the gypsy and never think about him at all, you mean?
29528How about this habeas corpus hearing, Mr. District Attorney?
29528How are we going to get out?
29528How do you do, Gladys?
29528How do you mean, Miss Eleanor?
29528How do you mean? 29528 How does she happen to be there, Dolly?
29528How long am I to stay?
29528How much do you want?
29528How much sooner than they ought we to reach the peak?
29528How much you got? 29528 How on earth did you get down?"
29528How shall we know if we find them?
29528How-- how did you know that?
29528However did you manage it, Dolly? 29528 I ca n''t hear the girls singing any more, can you?"
29528I forgot-- why, you must be one of the Camp Fire Girls who are coming here, are n''t you, Dolly?
29528I mean how will the others know?
29528I suppose it was cheaper to build than a regular railroad would be?
29528I suppose it was, but did you think I was going to let Gladys Cooper tell all over town how they treated us? 29528 I suppose the wind might come up, and start sparks flying?"
29528I suppose there will be lots of people there?
29528I suppose they just laughed at him?
29528I suppose you do n''t know that you''re lost, and that half the people around the lake are out looking for you? 29528 I thought you liked Margery, Dolly?"
29528I wonder if I can guess?
29528I wonder if she can be going to see them-- to make up with them?
29528If it was, what chance would we have against those boys?
29528Is it as pretty a place as Long Lake?
29528Is it quite fair in case they do n''t happen to think of it?
29528Is it true that he left town by the first train after he heard that the letter had been found when they searched that wretched man?
29528Is n''t it good land? 29528 It is n''t just Americans who do it, either, is it?"
29528Just what did happen in court this afternoon?
29528Lord, why should n''t he?
29528May we, Miss Eleanor?
29528Miss Eleanor, is n''t there some way we can get even?
29528Miss Mercer?
29528Mister Charlie? 29528 Much good it did you to try to stop me, did n''t it?"
29528Nervous, ma''am? 29528 Not getting it seemed to upset Mr. Holmes a good deal, did n''t it?"
29528Now, Miss Brown, honestly, and just between us, have n''t they made your life a burden for you ever since you''ve been here with them alone? 29528 Now, are you ready?
29528Oh, do n''t you think you may be hard on her, Dolly?
29528Oh, what''s the use?
29528Oh, will I?
29528Promise not to tell, Bessie? 29528 Safe?"
29528Say, bo,he said, in the same hoarse whisper,"I ai n''t got nuttin''against you, see?
29528Say, me and some of the boys was thinking maybe you''d like to have some of us turn up, sort of casual like, down at Hamilton?
29528See that rock out there? 29528 Shall we get to the seashore this summer?"
29528Shall we go on the same railroad we came up on, Miss Eleanor?
29528The Boy Scouts, I mean?
29528The Camp Fire Girls are going to try to make things better, are n''t they, Wanaka?
29528The Gladys Cooper who lives in Pine Street at home?
29528The wind has n''t shifted much yet, has it?
29528Then she''s going to try to prove that we really can manage by ourselves?
29528Then the first thing to do is to get you out, is n''t it?
29528Then you came here because you had heard that this was a free country and a refuge for those who were oppressed?
29528Then you''ve started already?
29528There are cottages and camps on the other side of the lake though, are n''t there?
29528They do have women detectives now, do n''t they? 29528 They do n''t spoil the woods about here that way, do they?"
29528They have something to do with floods, too, do n''t they, Wanaka?
29528They stick to one another, do n''t they?
29528Was it very hard, going down the waterspout?
29528We ca n''t help going down there if they send for us, I suppose, Miss Eleanor?
29528We ca n''t use matches, can we?
29528We could stay and teach them all the ceremonies, and the songs, and how to organize new Camp Fires, could n''t we?
29528We have n''t really come so far, but it''s taken us a long time, has n''t it? 29528 We''re not to go together, then?"
29528Well, it ca n''t be so very far-- not more than twenty or thirty miles, can it, Miss Eleanor?
29528Well, that''s what we''re for, too, is n''t it?
29528Well, whoever would have thought of seeing you here?
29528Were they all covered with trees, like this?
29528What are we going to do?
29528What did she do? 29528 What did you do?
29528What did you say, Margery? 29528 What does that mean?"
29528What is the new plan?
29528What makes you ask that, Dolly?
29528What reason, Miss Eleanor?
29528What sort of responsibility?
29528What sort of things will we do in this field day, Bessie? 29528 What?"
29528Whatever did you do to them, Dolly? 29528 Whatever is that?"
29528Whatever should we do, Miss Eleanor? 29528 Where are we going next, Miss Mercer?"
29528Where is that? 29528 Where, then?"
29528Who are going to be the two girls to go ahead? 29528 Why are you laughing?"
29528Why is that, Wanaka?
29528Why not, Miss Eleanor,asked Margery,"if we''ve done it so far?"
29528Why not, Miss Eleanor?
29528Why not? 29528 Why was that kept such a secret?"
29528Why wo n''t we go beyond the ridge?
29528Why, Dolly, how can you think that?
29528Why, do n''t you want to go home?
29528Why, do you think they might be in there?
29528Why, how is that possible?
29528Why, what do you mean? 29528 Why, what jobs do you mean?"
29528Why? 29528 Will they do the same thing?"
29528Will you be able to wait a little while, Mr. Rogers, while we get ready?
29528Would n''t they be on a regular trail?
29528Would one of the little fires we make when we stop on the trail for lunch start a great big blaze?
29528Yes, would n''t you? 29528 You did n''t know all that the day after Zara was taken away, did you, Miss Eleanor?"
29528You did n''t tell him, I hope?
29528You do love the beach and the surf, do n''t you? 29528 You do n''t mean that they may try to take her away?"
29528You do n''t think it''s a good one?
29528You do n''t want to be last, do you? 29528 You mean about the gypsy who mistook you for me and tried to kidnap you?"
29528You mean like the people from New England, who went west to Oregon and Washington?
29528You mean the volcanoes, do n''t you?
29528You remember the poem Kipling wrote about that? 29528 You say it was Gladys Cooper you saw, Dolly?"
29528You want to surprise Mr. Holmes, then?
29528You''re going to stay here quite a while, are n''t you?
29528Your cousin, you say? 29528 ''Why do n''t you go to the land you''re allowed to use? 29528 And I suppose that this time the law feels that if they are not punished, those gypsies might try to kidnap someone else?
29528And did n''t all the people in Hedgeville persecute him, and tell lies about both of us?
29528And do you know what will happen if we do n''t look out?
29528And do you know why we came here?
29528And do you see these screens that you can let down?
29528And had they cooked them themselves?"
29528And that would n''t do anyone any good, would it?"
29528And why ca n''t we all get there at the same time?"
29528And why did she talk that way about the Camp Fire Girls?"
29528Andrew, you''ll sort of keep an eye on things till I get back, wo n''t you?"
29528As soon as they put it out I''m to start after you and report?"
29528But Mr. Jamieson will be there-- you know him, do n''t you?"
29528But have n''t they put my father in prison, just the way they did in Poland and in Sicily, when we tried to live there quietly?
29528But that is n''t the only reason, is it?"
29528But we ca n''t see much up ahead, can we?"
29528But would n''t it be great if they really were rich?"
29528But you know that in Europe they have lords and dukes and an aristocracy, do n''t you?
29528But you''ll spend all your time with us, wo n''t you, Dolly?
29528But, after all, what''s the use?
29528CHAPTER V A TANGLED NET"Arrested?"
29528Ca n''t I help her, Miss Eleanor?"
29528Certainly you can make sure that I own it?"
29528Did n''t you stop to think of what would have happened if there had been a fire?"
29528Did she say anything more, Margery?"
29528Do n''t the Boy Scouts have contests like that among themselves, sometimes?"
29528Do n''t you hate her, too?"
29528Do n''t you see?"
29528Do n''t you think so?"
29528Do you know what I wish, Bessie?"
29528Do you know what we are going to have?"
29528Do you know?
29528Do you know?"
29528Go home?"
29528He does n''t want to put him on his guard, you mean?"
29528He said we really could n''t manage by ourselves, did n''t he, if we were caught out in the woods without a man to do a lot of things for us?"
29528How can that be?"
29528How will you make signs to show us which way to go?"
29528I suppose Holmes has told you he''ll back your ambitions to go to Congress, has n''t he?"
29528I think it will be a glorious trip, do n''t you, girls?"
29528I think it''s burning well enough now, do n''t you?"
29528I wonder if we''ll be able to see them on the other peak and if they''ll be able to see us?"
29528If you hate her like that when you''ve never even seen her, what would you do if you had some real reason for it?"
29528Is that really you?"
29528It does n''t seem possible that we''ve had such exciting times since we''ve been here, does it?"
29528It is n''t that that makes the difference?"
29528It would be giving them an awful lot of satisfaction, would n''t it?"
29528It''s quite an honor for us to be allowed to make the fire, is n''t it?"
29528May I count on you for aid when the case comes up for trial?"
29528People who think that because they''re born in certain families they are better than anyone else?"
29528Shall we help find them?
29528So I''m a property holder in this county-- and that''s what is needed, is n''t it?"
29528Suppose the place had caught fire?
29528That all men are created free and equal?
29528That''s it, is n''t it?"
29528Then they bent to their piles again, and waited for Eleanor''s"Ready?
29528These, I suppose, are the young ladies who were kidnapped?"
29528They''re birds of a feather, see?
29528They''re kind to you, I suppose?
29528Understand?"
29528Was n''t there even a store where you could have bought something?"
29528We can know now, ca n''t we, Wanaka?"
29528We know, but can we prove it?
29528We''d better hurry back now, do n''t you think?
29528We''ll do that, wo n''t we?
29528We''re each to spend the same amount of time eating?"
29528Well, you''ll row us to the end of the lake, I suppose?"
29528What did Andrew think they would do to them?"
29528What did he say?"
29528What do you mean by charity girls?"
29528What does the other side offer you?"
29528What time did they put out their fire?"
29528What''s the matter?
29528Where did you get the mice?"
29528Which way ought we to go?"
29528Who is going to make the light?"
29528Who wants to join the pathfinders?"
29528Who would ever have thought that there were so many lakes and ponds?"
29528Who would n''t like to get out of carrying a load?"
29528Why ca n''t I give bail for you?
29528Why, what are they trying to do?"
29528Wo n''t it be much more exciting?
29528Would n''t it pay to plough it, after the trees were cut down?"
29528You all have your pocket compasses and plenty of matches, have n''t you?
29528You have not the deed with you-- the deed giving title to this property?"
29528You have the original letter, you say?"
29528You know the words of the Declaration of Independence, do n''t you?
29528You know those twin peaks beyond Little Bear Lake-- North Peak and South Peak?"
29528You know what a dry summer means, do n''t you?
29528You know why, do n''t you?"
29528You lived long enough on Paw Hoover''s farm at Hedgeville to know that?"
29528You remember yourself how Mr. Holmes tricked you and Bessie into going for a ride with him in his automobile, when we were all at the farm?"
29528You understand how to make smoke signals, do n''t you?"
29528You understand, do n''t you?"
29528You want to get away, too, do n''t you?"
29528You would n''t have much use for boys if you thought they were all like him, would you?"
29528You would n''t want that, would you?"
29528You''ll be able to eat with the rest of us, wo n''t you, Margery-- you and Zara?"
29528You''re very grateful, are n''t you?"
12091A greenhorn, goin''out in them woods at night, in the dark, and a girl, at that? 12091 Ai n''t you the two that was lost, or stolen by that gypsy critter?"
12091All ready, Bessie?
12091All the other girls had boys around them all the time--"You went with Walter Stubbs, did n''t you? 12091 And how did he?"
12091And you do not want him to be sent to prison, perhaps for years and years, do you? 12091 Are you a baby?
12091Are you sleepy, Bessie?
12091Bessie, are you crazy?
12091Bessie, why do I always get into so much trouble? 12091 Bessie-- will you tell the girls to get ready?
12091But I do n''t believe it, do you?
12091But I never said I''d let you bring me home, did I? 12091 But I thought I ought to ask you if you think it''s all right for me to go off with Dolly?
12091But do n''t you suppose he was frightened? 12091 But how are we going to get to Long Lake?"
12091But how can you tell where a deer will be?
12091But if I do that will you promise to start for home as soon as we''ve had a look at them, and never to play such a trick on me again?
12091But is n''t it awfully cold here?
12091But who was it, Dolly? 12091 But will the others-- your people-- help him?"
12091But, Bessie, I was thinking: suppose he did n''t carry me to the place where the other gypsies are? 12091 But, Bessie, what would he do with her if he did carry her off?
12091Can we go for walks through the woods, Miss Eleanor?
12091Can we swim in the lake, Miss Eleanor?
12091Did you hear me shouting when Peter came along? 12091 Did you hear that, Bessie?"
12091Did you not hear him say that Peter was coming? 12091 Do n''t they have any real homes, Bessie?"
12091Do n''t you know that? 12091 Do n''t you see that she is only trying to frighten you, as she did with the knife?"
12091Do n''t you see the difference between us, Bessie? 12091 Do n''t you think that''s a pretty mean trick, Dolly?"
12091Do you know the thing that pleases me best about this, Andrew?
12091Do you mean to say that you let that silly gypsy frighten you? 12091 Do you think I ought to tell Miss Eleanor myself?"
12091Do you think she would do that?
12091Goin''to that ice- cream festival over to the Methodist Church at Deer Crossin''to- night?
12091Have they been here before, Miss Eleanor?
12091Have we got to cook supper?
12091He did n''t hurt you, did he, Lolla?
12091He is strong and brave, do you not see? 12091 He will do that?"
12091How can I? 12091 How did you ever get back here, just when you were so badly needed?"
12091How do you know so much about them, Bessie, if you never saw anything of them when you were in Hedgeville?
12091How do you make fudge?
12091However did you do that? 12091 However do you do it?
12091I said it was warm enough for me, but that I was afraid it would be too cold for you, did n''t I?
12091I suppose they never stole any stuff from the hotel?
12091I wonder where that nice boy that thrashed Jake Hoover is?
12091Is Bessie acting as if she was your teacher, Margery?
12091Is n''t this lovely? 12091 Is she the lady who is with you girls?"
12091Is there?
12091It''s getting cold, is n''t it?
12091Marry you? 12091 No bad news, Charlie?"
12091Now, you will know my song when you hear it?
12091Of course I did n''t; why should I? 12091 Oh, Bessie, do you think we''ll have to tell Miss Eleanor about this?"
12091Oh, Bessie,she said, softly,"wo n''t you forgive me, dear?
12091Oh, I know what you mean, Miss Eleanor-- with a camera?
12091Oh, are there boats?
12091Oh, what were they?
12091Oh, what''s the harm? 12091 Prison?
12091See, a fine meal, is it not? 12091 She''d have been jealous, you mean?"
12091Suppose that man tried to carry her off?
12091The one called Bessie-- Bessie King? 12091 Then he was just playing a joke when he said he wanted to marry me?"
12091Then how in tarnation did you come to be lost, too? 12091 Then we can go over and see some of the other lakes?"
12091They''re not a bit sillier than some of the things the boys in the city wear, are they, Margery?
12091We''re not going to be here very much longer, are we, Dolly?
12091Well, do n''t you see how absurd it is to say that I took Will away from you? 12091 Well, why do n''t you start pretty soon?"
12091Well-- well, so you got home all right?
12091Were you ever so frightened that you could n''t do a thing but just stand still? 12091 Were you looking for us?"
12091What are we going to do now, Lolla? 12091 What did he say to you, Charlie?"
12091What did you tell him?
12091What do you suppose they''re doing up here, Bessie?
12091What is your name?
12091What was it, a bear or some sort of a wild animal?
12091What was that, Miss Eleanor?
12091What''s a corduroy road?
12091What''s the use of my saying anything? 12091 What?"
12091Where are you going? 12091 Where is he; that wicked man you are to marry?"
12091Where is the other?
12091Who wrote that letter? 12091 Why did he want to do that?"
12091Why is it so very hard to do that?
12091Why, Bessie-- why did you do that?
12091Why, how do you know?
12091Will Burns, you mean? 12091 Will she forgive me?"
12091Will you betray me? 12091 Will you make me come down and punish you?"
12091Will you marry me?
12091You come from the hotel?
12091You do n''t mean-- it wasn''t--"The gypsy? 12091 You know I did n''t, do n''t you, dear?
12091You know where we are and how to get back, then?
12091You live there?
12091You mean John, my man?
12091You say he talked well; as if he were educated? 12091 You would n''t tell her a story, Dolly?"
12091Afraid to do his own dirty work, is he?
12091Ai n''t nothin''else we can do fer you, is there, ma''am?"
12091And I reckon it looked to you this morning as if you was goin''to need us pretty bad, did n''t it?"
12091And shall we have that field day?"
12091And when I tell my brothers, what will they swear?"
12091And, Bessie, do you know I heard there was one near here, at a place called Loon Pond?"
12091Are n''t they cute and brown?"
12091Are they likely to try to get revenge for what has happened to their companions?"
12091Are you going to wear that jacket?"
12091Are you hurt?
12091Are you stiff?
12091Are you still planning that camping trip to Lake?"
12091As long as we''re here?"
12091But then, how did you ever get the nerve to do it at all, Bessie?
12091CHAPTER XII OUT OF THE FRYING PAN"Stay here?
12091Ca n''t you ever take a joke?
12091Ca n''t you understand?"
12091Can you Stand up?"
12091Come, Peter; does it not look good?"
12091Did you?"
12091Do n''t you remember that?"
12091Do n''t you think it''s rather mean to blame me?
12091Do you know where he is; where he was last night?"
12091Do you mean to say you do n''t know?
12091Do you mean you''ve never seen one, Dolly?"
12091Do you see?"
12091Do you think he saw us, Bessie?"
12091Do you think he would have really tried to carry me back to his tribe, Bessie?"
12091Do you think that is true?"
12091Do you think they will not punish you, even by seeing that you die in a prison, in a cell?"
12091Do you think you can escape from these woods without being caught?"
12091Do you want me to tell all the women that you were frightened by a little girl; a girl you could crush with one hand?"
12091Do you?"
12091Does it give you pain?
12091Does n''t that show you that I can do what I say?"
12091Dolly was awfully angry at Bessie before they started from the church-- but you saw how they were when they got here to- night?"
12091Had you thought of that?"
12091He could n''t ever have really thought anything so perfectly absurd?"
12091He would have tied me up with her if he had found me, would n''t he?"
12091How are you going to get her away, Lolla?"
12091How can that be; how can you seem as if you were happy about it?"
12091How can there be?
12091How did you all ever come to get loose?
12091How did you escape?"
12091I could n''t very well tell him to go away, or not answer him when he spoke to me, could I?"
12091I do n''t suppose we need be afraid of the other gypsies, Andrew?
12091I lied to her; will she forgive me, too, like you?"
12091I managed so that you saw her, did n''t I?
12091I said the signs said this was the way to Little Bear Lake, and you never asked me if I''d changed them, did you?"
12091I suppose none of those people who were trying to get hold of me would do anything up here, would they?"
12091I think I''ve been a Wood Gatherer long enough, do n''t, you?"
12091I think Long Lake is ever so much prettier, do n''t you, even though it''s smaller?"
12091I think it''s safe enough, but--""Oh, suppose that horrid gypsy followed us through the woods, Bessie?
12091I wonder if he could have sneaked back around and come here?"
12091I wonder why Lolla let you have her knife to cut those cords about me?"
12091I''m making that for my man, him over there by the tree, smoking, see?
12091I''ve got my camera here; suppose we try to get a picture of one tonight?
12091If I had n''t done that we would n''t have gone to Loon Pond, and if we had n''t gone there--""We would n''t have seen the gypsies?
12091If one only knew that everything was coming out all right when things like that happen, one could enjoy them while they were going on, could n''t one?
12091If you saw me drowning in the water, you''d jump in after me, would n''t you?
12091Is it not so among your people?"
12091Is n''t it funny?
12091Is n''t it possible that you were mistaken?
12091Is n''t that so?"
12091Is n''t that so?"
12091Is n''t this water cold for you?
12091It tells about the gypsies, you say?"
12091It''s easy to talk about-- but where was Bessie to go?
12091It''s quite a big place, is n''t it, Dolly?"
12091Margery, why did n''t you tell me it was so cold?"
12091Moreover, the girl seemed as surprised and frightened at the sight of Bessie, crouching there?
12091Must I punish you?"
12091Oh, I have done well, have I not, Peter?"
12091Or after any of the girls-- if there was n''t time to get help?"
12091Or must I bear witness against you, and tell the tribe that you would shame me by forsaking me even before I am your wife?"
12091Or was you just plain lost?"
12091See?"
12091So there''s not much use talking, is there?"
12091So they asked him what happened; how he got away?"
12091Suppose he took me right off into the woods somewhere, and hid?"
12091Surely we could go a little nearer, could n''t we?
12091Tell me, at least, where you have hidden the girl?
12091That''s so, Dolly-- he said he was coming here, did n''t he?"
12091The Camp Fire Girls at Long Lake CHAPTER I A GROUNDLESS JEALOUSY"I told you we were going to be happy here, did n''t I, Zara?"
12091Then you do not want him to go to prison?
12091There, will that make you feel any better?
12091They are my brothers--""Do you think you can jilt their sister, the girl you asked for as your wife before all the tribe, and escape their vengeance?
12091They do n''t do that here, I suppose?"
12091They would send him there?
12091We were both there together-- I could n''t tell when we saw him coming that he was going to talk to me, could I?
12091We''ll start right after lunch, shall we?"
12091We''re here now, and It is n''t so very dreadful, is it?
12091Well, there may be someone I know, and that''s the same thing, is n''t it?
12091Well, what do you want me to do?
12091Were n''t you thinking so much of that gypsy that you just fancied you saw him, when you really did n''t at all?"
12091What are you doing here?"
12091What child''s talk is this?
12091What for?
12091What have I done to make you angry?"
12091What''s that?"
12091What''s the matter?"
12091What''s the use of wasting our time here, anyhow?"
12091Whatever is the matter with you?
12091Whatever_ is_ the matter with, you?
12091Where are they, Miss Eleanor?"
12091Who could it have been?"
12091Who would ever think of doing such a thing, except you?
12091Who would n''t?
12091Why did n''t he run?"
12091Why, it must; be four or five miles long, do n''t you think, Bessie?"
12091Why, what have you got there?"
12091Will you promise to keep quiet?"
12091Will you take this girl back to her people, or set her free and show her the road?
12091Will you try?"
12091Will you?"
12091Would n''t that be fun?"
12091Would n''t you, Dolly?"
12091Would you have her starve?
12091You are sure John has taken her?"
12091You did n''t know Will Burns was coming, did you?"
12091You do n''t expect people to guess what you''re going to do next, do you?"
12091You do n''t think I''ve come this far and that I''m going to turn around without seeing what the place is like, do you?"
12091You do not know where he is?
12091You knew where you were going, did n''t you?
12091You love him, do you?"
12091You love this John?"
12091You must have thought of trying to get away, Bessie, did n''t you?"
12091You remember when we saw you girls first-- when you were in camp in the woods?"
12091You remember, the one who was with me yesterday, when we looked at your camp?
12091You want the girls to go with you, so as to point him out, do n''t you?
12091You was, was n''t you?
12091You would give me orders when I bring you breakfast?
12091You would like to find your friend?"
12091You would n''t let your wife do more than that, would you, Walter?"
12091You would n''t like to have to leave your people, and not be able to travel along the road, and do all the things you are used to doing, would you?
12091You''re not mad at me, are you?"
20713Ah, here, are yer?
20713Ai n''t it the beatin''est thing you ever heard of?
20713And I''ve rescued you, have n''t I? 20713 And can we be Camp Fire Girls?"
20713And did n''t she have any dinner?
20713And the people in the village thought he was a counterfeiter-- that he made bad money?
20713And will we learn to sing the songs like the other girls?
20713Are n''t there Torch- Bearers, too, Miss Eleanor?
20713Are n''t they good to us, Zara?
20713Are n''t they good, Zara? 20713 Are n''t you angry at him at all?"
20713Are you a Fire- Maker?
20713Before I came on the run, you mean?
20713Bessie, why do you suppose Farmer Weeks is so set on having me to work for him? 20713 Bessie,"said Mrs. Chester,"did you go anywhere else this morning when you went for berries?"
20713But I ca n''t say that I wo n''t do it again--"What''s that? 20713 But how about the canoes?"
20713But how will we ever get back to them, even if they do n''t catch us now?
20713But if they lied about him around here, might n''t they lie the same afterward-- at the trial, Bessie? 20713 But suppose he''d hurt you some way, without meaning to at all?
20713But suppose she did n''t, what should we do?
20713But what are you doing here-- and in that dress?
20713But what are you doing with that sheet? 20713 But you do n''t remember anything about that, do you?"
20713But you were quite alone?
20713Can you come out here a minute?
20713Can you hear me?
20713Caught ye this time, ai n''t I?
20713Caught ye, ai n''t I?
20713Could they around here?
20713Did he really tell his father that you had set the shed on fire-- and on purpose?
20713Did she hear anything about him in Hedgeville?
20713Did they seem friendly?
20713Did you hear that, Zara? 20713 Did you think about trying to run away by yourself?"
20713Do n''t you think it''s very strange that Farmer Weeks should take so much trouble to try to get hold of Zara?
20713Do n''t you think we''d better go on, Bessie?
20713Do you suppose that Farmer Weeks has been making trouble for us again?
20713Do you suppose they''re coming here?
20713Do you think I could ever do anything to help anyone else, Miss Eleanor?
20713Do you want to go, too, Bessie?
20713Does he know you''re here? 20713 Earn her keep?"
20713Even if they were n''t trying to hurt you?
20713Have n''t you ever read about them?
20713Have you seen the necklaces the girls wear?
20713He could speak English, could n''t he?
20713Here, here, what am I thinking of?
20713Here, was that your father who was so wild because he did n''t catch the train? 20713 How can she, Jack?"
20713How do you guess that little varmint ever got away?
20713How do you mean?
20713I guess that''s pretty good evidence, ai n''t it, sir?
20713I make anyone that gits my pay or my vittles work-- an''why should n''t they? 20713 I s''pose you can afford to pay us for runnin''off on this wild goose chase for you, then?
20713I''ll bet Jack''s thought about that, have n''t you, Jack?
20713I''m ready to overlook it-- don''t you understand that? 20713 I''m sure you have something to tell me, have n''t you?"
20713If he wants to act that way, we ca n''t stop him, can we? 20713 If she''d been doing anything wrong, Mrs. Chester, she would have tried to get here without being seen, would n''t she?"
20713In Italy, Zara?
20713Is it your desire to become a Camp Fire Girl and follow the law of the Fire?
20713Is n''t it growing black? 20713 Is she as pretty as you, Miss Eleanor?"
20713Is that how it all started?
20713Is that so? 20713 It''s just like a game, is n''t it?"
20713May I have some flour and sugar?
20713Miss Eleanor did n''t say what she was going to do, did she?
20713Miss Eleanor?
20713Mr. Norris, the conductor, said you would--"What''s wrong?
20713Oh, Bessie, have you been hearing all about the Camp Fire, too?
20713Oh, Zara, are n''t you afraid to come here?
20713Oh, does n''t that smell good?
20713Oh, yes, that''s true, is n''t it? 20713 Oh,"she said, then,"you do n''t mean that all the girls will have to leave this lovely place because of me?"
20713Pine Bridge, eh? 20713 Say, Jake, we wo n''t hurt''em none, will we?
20713Say, Jim, did n''t it look to you like that hayseed was trying to stop these two from gettin''aboard instead of tryin''to catch the train himself?
20713Say, do you know that other girl?
20713See that white house there? 20713 Shall I come with you?"
20713She''d help you, would n''t she, Miss Eleanor?
20713So you''re the poacher, my lad?
20713Suppose I were n''t here-- suppose I just went away? 20713 Suppose he ate you up first?"
20713Suppose he follows us here, Bessie?
20713Suppose we follow this trail right up the way they went?
20713That''s funny, is n''t it, Miss Eleanor?
20713That''s like in the Bible where it says,''It is more blessed to give than to receive,''is n''t it?
20713Then you must be camping out, too? 20713 There''s a station further down the line-- a little no- account station, ai n''t there?
20713These people are n''t related to you at all, are they?
20713We ca n''t carry those with us, can we?
20713We give her a good home-- but Jake here seen her do it, though he was too late to stop her-- hey, Jake?
20713We''ll be seen when we go out, wo n''t we?
20713Well, I was n''t, so why should I be angry at him, Zara? 20713 Well, do n''t you see how it worked out, Zara?
20713Well, girls, have you chosen your fire names yet?
20713Well, really? 20713 Well, well, ca n''t you talk, Bessie?
20713Well, well, so you''ve found the poacher and brought her with you, eh?
20713Well, wo n''t you and Zara spend the day with us, if you are by yourselves?
20713What are Camp Fire Girls? 20713 What are they, Minnehaha?"
20713What are we going to do?
20713What did he say to you?
20713What do you know about her, ma''am? 20713 What do you mean, General?"
20713What happened then, Jack?
20713What is it, Bessie?
20713What is that? 20713 What makes you think that, Jack?"
20713What other girl?
20713What sort of looking man brought her here, Jack?
20713What''s her name? 20713 What?
20713Where is it?
20713Where was he going with her, Bessie? 20713 Where will it bring us?"
20713Who else could have done it, eh? 20713 Who wrote them?
20713Who''s Maw Hoover, Bessie?
20713Why did you come over here?
20713Why should n''t you be one, then?
20713Why, Zara, whatever is the matter? 20713 Why, have n''t you had breakfast?
20713Why, how could I be, Bessie, if I did n''t know anything about it?
20713Why?
20713Will I, Bessie? 20713 Will the law make Zara go to him, Paw?"
20713Will you tell all the girls why we''re going?
20713Will you, really, Jack? 20713 Wo n''t they have it if it rains?"
20713Wo n''t they miss you, Jack?
20713Wo n''t you come out and talk to us?
20713Wo n''t you help us?
20713Would n''t you be afraid of them?
20713Yes, Bessie?
20713Yes, but why should he pick Zara up that way and carry her off?
20713Yes, why should n''t I? 20713 Yes, wo n''t it?
20713Yes? 20713 You have, have n''t you?"
20713You know what she said she''d do if she ever caught you around here again?
20713You see this ring?
20713You were n''t bound to them-- they did n''t agree to keep you any length of time and have you work for them in return for your board?
20713You wo n''t tell Maw Hoover where we are; or Farmer Weeks?
20713You''d never think that shed would make such a blaze, would you?
20713You''re sure you understand, Bessie? 20713 You''ve struck it rich, ai n''t you, Bessie?
20713Zara, do n''t you remember what he said? 20713 Zara,"said Bessie, suddenly,"suppose Jake was telling the truth?
20713Zebulon? 20713 After all, why not? 20713 Ai n''t you got a good home? 20713 Aimin''to run away and leave us?
20713An''if you ever get into trouble, you write to me-- see?"
20713An''now they took him off, who''s a- goin''to look out for her?"
20713And Indians are red, are n''t they?"
20713And did you hear what she called her?
20713And do n''t you think someone will see her?"
20713And get off at Pine Bridge-- Pine Bridge, do you hear?
20713And tell her Bessie is waiting here for her?
20713And these are my grounds, are n''t they?"
20713And what for a symbol?"
20713And wherever did you get all that dirt on yourself?"
20713And you must be right-- they ca n''t punish a man when he has n''t done anything wrong, can they?"
20713And--""Hedgeville, eh?
20713Are n''t you ashamed of yourself, hurtin''her like that?"
20713Are n''t you going to tell me you''re sorry and that you wo n''t do it again?"
20713Are they like the Boy Scouts?"
20713At it again?"
20713Bessie King?
20713Bessie, eh?
20713Bessie, how would you and Zara like to stay with us, and come back to the city when we go?
20713Bessie, what sort of man is Zara''s father?
20713Bless me, what''s the use of saying you''re sorry if you mean to do it the next time you get a chance?"
20713Burning one''s name?"
20713But for Bessie''s own sake we want to clear it up, do n''t we?"
20713But if you go, ca n''t I go with you?"
20713But suppose they really have taken him, what will you do?"
20713But what trouble has he made for me, Zara?
20713But why did n''t Zara stay?
20713But why do n''t you make up a new word for yourself, as we made up Wo- he- lo?
20713But you''re not alone, are you?
20713But, Mrs. Chester, you do n''t think I did it?"
20713But, say, boys, wo n''t we have some fun with them girls?
20713Can you climb a tree?
20713Can you swim?"
20713Chester?"
20713Conductor?"
20713Did he and your father ever have anything to do with one another?"
20713Did n''t I see another head peeping out?"
20713Did n''t Paw Hoover give you a nickel for yourself only last week?"
20713Did n''t expect to see me again so soon, did you?
20713Did n''t you have to work at home, though?"
20713Did n''t you know you ought n''t to frighten the birds?
20713Did you ever go out in the woods all alone?
20713Did you ever read about the Knights of the Round Table, and how they rescued ladies in distress?
20713Did you oversleep?"
20713Do n''t she make you work like a hired girl, and pay you nothin''for it?
20713Do n''t we board you and give you a good bed to sleep in?
20713Do n''t you feel that someone has been looking after you in all your troubles?"
20713Do n''t you hear a noise as if someone was shouting back there?"
20713Do n''t you see what I mean?"
20713Do n''t you think I can tell what''s going on here, ma''am?"
20713Do n''t you think so?"
20713Do n''t you, Bessie?"
20713Do you know him at all?"
20713Do you know, girls, that in winter we sometimes use three candles instead of a real fire?"
20713Do you like cherries?
20713Do you live here?"
20713Do you see that big cloud?
20713Do you suppose he''d really go after the girls and look for us there?"
20713Do you think it''s about us they''re talking?"
20713Do you think she will do it, Bessie?
20713Does n''t that seem funny to you?
20713Eh?"
20713Girls that belong?"
20713Going to meet your friends here?"
20713Had you, Zara?"
20713Have n''t you any parents?
20713Have you got some?"
20713Have you heard what it says in the Fire- Maker''s Desire?
20713He wo n''t be able to make Maw Hoover think you did everything now, when you''re not there, will he?"
20713Hey?"
20713How can I do that?"
20713How could he possibly know anything about her?
20713How did he set it on fire?"
20713How does one get to be a Fire- Maker?
20713How far is it, Bessie?"
20713How is she going to get here, Bessie?"
20713How will you like that?"
20713I do n''t think much of it, do you?"
20713I wonder why they got so near before we heard them this time?"
20713I''ve read that, have n''t you?"
20713If it had n''t been for me, Jake Hoover would never have burnt his father''s barn-- don''t you know that?"
20713If you have n''t done anything wrong, why should n''t we stand by you?
20713Is it true that he ca n''t touch me except in this state?"
20713Is n''t it a bully place?
20713Is n''t it nice and comfortable?
20713Is n''t it true that she''s one of the two girls you told me about last night-- that Miss Mercer had found?
20713Is n''t that lady with the brown hair pretty?
20713Is she going to find out about things in the village?"
20713Is that why we made so many sandwiches and things like that-- so that we could eat our lunch on the way?"
20713Is there an Indian word that would do that?"
20713It ca n''t be true-- but how would he ever think of such a story?
20713It''s fun, is n''t it?
20713Jest throw a scare into them, like?"
20713Look at him, will you?"
20713May I get out and run along by the horses for a little while?"
20713Minnehaha-- that''s a funny name, is n''t it?"
20713Miss Eleanor, when can we be real Camp Fire Girls?"
20713Mrs. Chester, wo n''t you send me away?"
20713One begins by being a Wood- Gatherer, does n''t one?"
20713Or did n''t you think they''d be frightened-- eh, what?"
20713Or did they let you go out to spend the night all alone in the woods that way?"
20713Or have n''t you known her long enough--""Why should she forgive you, sir?
20713Say, are n''t those cherries good?
20713Say, did you hear something just then?"
20713See that branch?
20713See?
20713Shall I?"
20713Stupid birds, eh, to think they were frightened when they were n''t?
20713Suppose Farmer Weeks did n''t go to Zebulon at all?
20713Suppose someone threw a stone at you, and hit you?"
20713Suppose they have taken your father away?
20713That he''d find us through the Camp Fire Girls?
20713That''ll be fine, wo n''t it?
20713Then he''d think it was all wrong, would n''t he?"
20713Was she a goin''there?
20713Was that why he came?"
20713We''ve all of us done things we were sorry for-- eh, Mrs. Chester?
20713Weeks there the night he was taken away, did n''t you?"
20713Were you running away from him?"
20713What are they?"
20713What are we going to do now?"
20713What do you mean, Bessie?"
20713What does he do for a living?"
20713What if she had, without intention, misled Miss Eleanor?
20713What would Paw Hoover do to him if he knew he''d set the woodshed on fire, Bessie?"
20713What''s his name?"
20713What''s that?
20713What''s the matter now?"
20713What''s your name?
20713Where did you come from?
20713Who is he?
20713Who is her father?
20713Why are you so interested in that?"
20713Why did n''t you wear the other clothes, though?
20713Why do n''t you eat them?"
20713Why does n''t she run away?"
20713Why should n''t she?
20713Why was she crying?"
20713Will he be sent to prison?"
20713Will you initiate them into the Camp Fire circle?"
20713Will you remember that?
20713Will you shake hands, to show that you do n''t bear any hard feelings?"
20713Will you show her how to get down, and how to get here?
20713Will you show me how when we get home, Bessie?"
20713Wo n''t the moon be up soon?"
20713Wo n''t they, Miss Eleanor?"
20713Would you be angry at him then for hurting you, when he did n''t mean to do it?"
20713Would you ever know there was a cave here if Jack had n''t uncovered the entrance?
20713You can see that, ca n''t you?"
20713You have seen a good deal of him, have n''t you?"
31499After all, is n''t it a good deal as Bessie said? 31499 All right?
31499And Henry, too? 31499 And there he made a lucky strike, some four or five years ago, that made him far richer than he had ever dreamed of becoming?"
31499And you have not always been as well off, financially, as you are now?
31499And-- can you keep a secret?
31499Any sign of that boat from Rock Haven?
31499Are n''t there any boats here beside that old flat bottom skiff?
31499Are n''t there? 31499 Are n''t they all in now?"
31499Bessie, you''ve never been in a sail boat, have you? 31499 But I suppose there was a good reason?"
31499But how could they have done that, if there were none of them here on the beach, Dolly?
31499But how on earth are you going to get ashore if the engine wo n''t work?
31499But that order''s no good in this state?
31499But they kept her on, just the same?
31499But what good does it do you? 31499 But why are you going to stop being Guardian, Miss Eleanor?"
31499But why did he act so?
31499But why did you bring Bessie back here? 31499 But why, Charlie-- why?"
31499But, although you were rich, you did not come home? 31499 But, really, Jamieson, you ca n''t blame us much, can you?
31499But-- how did I get here?
31499Can I go, too?
31499Can you ever forgive me?
31499Did you get that telephone fixed up, Nell?
31499Did you know we were here-- how did you fold out?
31499Did you locate them? 31499 Did you notice how she spoke about Bessie, Miss Eleanor?"
31499Did you see that?
31499Do n''t you think we might be able to make a break and get away?
31499Do n''t you think you tacked a little too soon?
31499Do you mean that you''re not going to let me join?
31499Do you realize that we''ve been so excited that we have n''t had any breakfast? 31499 Do you think she can make it, Dolly?"
31499Does n''t it make you love her more than ever?
31499Does she mean it, Charlie?
31499Dolly, are you crazy?
31499Dolly, run over and get the other girls, wo n''t you? 31499 Found you could n''t get away, eh, Bessie?
31499Getting pretty independent, are n''t they?
31499Given up?
31499Gladys?
31499Got yer, have I?
31499Have n''t you any business of your own to attend to? 31499 Have you any reason to think he was mixed up in this outrage here this morning and last night, Charlie?"
31499Have you ever seen this woman before?
31499Have you got everything sorted, Margery-- the things that are completely ruined and those that are worth saving?
31499Holmes, the big dry goods merchant?
31499How about the other boat? 31499 How are you, Jamieson?
31499How can you speak to him as a friend after the way he betrayed us?
31499How in the world did she ever get such a wild idea as that? 31499 How soon may we start?"
31499I guess it was just as exciting for you, was n''t it? 31499 I must do all that for my chums-- the girls in our Camp Fire, you mean, I suppose?"
31499I suppose you think you have some excuse for acting in this fashion?
31499I think we had reason to be nervous, do n''t you?
31499I told you he was a bad lot when you let him go at Windsor, did n''t I? 31499 I would n''t hurt you-- you know that, do n''t you?
31499I''m glad we''re going to stay here, are n''t you, Dolly? 31499 If Mr. Holmes is spending so much money, does n''t it cost a whole lot to stop him from doing what he''s trying to do, whatever that is?
31499If she wanted to race, why did n''t she say so?
31499If that was so, why did you come sneaking around like this? 31499 In the first place, you and your husband have been away from this part of the country for quite a long time, have n''t you?"
31499Is n''t it strange, Miss Eleanor,said Bessie King,"that this should have happened to us so soon after the fire that burned up the Pratt''s farm?"
31499Is n''t it true, Mrs. Richards, that those conditions were the result of his marriage to you? 31499 Is n''t that supposed to be where we turn?
31499Is she related to them in any way, Charlie?
31499Is that your father''s name, Zara? 31499 Is this the fort?
31499It does seem strange, does n''t it, Bessie? 31499 It was with Mrs. Hoover that you left your child when you went west under an assumed name, was it not?
31499It''s going to make us terribly late in getting ashore, is n''t it?
31499Listen to that, will you?
31499Now as to your brother, Mrs. Richards? 31499 Oh, are you trying to make them believe you did n''t know about this?
31499Oh, that was his game, eh?
31499Oh, what''s the use of talking like that?
31499Or is she just trying to string me?
31499Perhaps-- I''d like-- do you want me to come?
31499Really, Miss Mercer-- why, where has that little baggage gone to?
31499See? 31499 She is n''t dead?
31499So Holmes had been in it from the start?
31499So he''s spying around here now, is he?
31499So that fire last night was n''t an accident at all?
31499So you decided to talk to us instead of to Mr. Jamieson? 31499 So you''re all here?"
31499Suppose Charlie turns up at the camp while we''re gone, and wants you for something important?
31499Suppose I give Gladys a hail and suggest a race to the bar?
31499Suppose there is n''t any wind?
31499Surely you''re not going away without doing that, are you?
31499That little shyster? 31499 That little sloop out there is yours, is n''t she?"
31499That would n''t really do any good, would it? 31499 That''s a likely story, is n''t it?"
31499That''s like turning all the unpleasant things that have happened to us, is n''t it?
31499That''s right-- and, say, tell her to hurry, will you?
31499Then we''re really going to stay here?
31499Then you''re not afraid of Holmes? 31499 There is someone we can trust, after all, is n''t there?"
31499Walk over with me, wo n''t you?
31499Want to come, Dolly and Bessie? 31499 Was Holmes mixed up in that?"
31499Was n''t she splendid? 31499 We wo n''t go very far, will we?"
31499We''re supposed to help our friends-- and we''re friends, are n''t we?
31499Well, all ready, Nell?
31499Well, the rest of them certainly changed their minds about us, did n''t they?
31499Well, what''s the programme for to- day, girls?
31499What are you doing here? 31499 What are you going to do now?"
31499What are your terms?
31499What do they call their boat?
31499What does all this nonsense mean? 31499 What does this mean?"
31499What ever are we going to do, Miss Eleanor?
31499What good would that do?
31499What is your desire?
31499What on earth, are you doing here? 31499 What sort of a boat is yours?"
31499What will I see, Dolly? 31499 What will they do to those men on the yacht, do you suppose?"
31499What''s next?
31499What''s the nearest town in this direction?
31499What''s the use?
31499What? 31499 What?"
31499Whatever are you doing here? 31499 Where are we going to sleep to- night?"
31499Where have you been?
31499Where to, Dolly? 31499 Who goes there?"
31499Who''s going to camp here?
31499Who''s going to take them in, and give them their rings, Miss Eleanor?
31499Why ca n''t you be sensible? 31499 Why not this afternoon?"
31499Why not? 31499 Why should n''t you let me go now, then, if that is so?"
31499Why, what do you mean, Miss Mercer?
31499Why, whatever made you think that?
31499Why? 31499 Will I see my father?
31499Wo n''t Jake Hoover help, Charlie?
31499Wonder who they can be?
31499Would n''t it? 31499 Yes, but do n''t you think that''s something a person has to learn for herself, without anyone to teach her, Marcia?
31499You could n''t swim, and you do n''t remember anything after that, do you? 31499 You do n''t think they were asleep, do you, Dolly?"
31499You here, Elizabeth?
31499You know who this man is, do you not? 31499 You lose your temper pretty quickly, Dolly, but you get over being angry just as quickly as you get mad, do n''t you?"
31499You mean you think she likes me to get angry?
31499You sinner, why did n''t you tell us what you were going to do?
31499You think she''d do better if she were n''t so worked up, Margery?
31499You''d have done it for me, would n''t you? 31499 You''re in politics, are n''t you?
31499You''re not afraid?
31499You, or Miss Turner?
31499All agreed to that, are you?"
31499And did n''t we tell you we had a surprise for you?"
31499And do n''t you think it looks as if we were right?"
31499And do you know what worries me most of all?"
31499And is n''t that dreadful, Bessie?
31499And what our feelings are concerning him?
31499And where is Trenwith?"
31499And you have ambitions for more of a job than you''ve got now?"
31499Answer my question-- do you think this is in the state where the courts have put Bessie in charge of Silas Weeks?"
31499Are n''t you going to behave decently?"
31499Are you all ready?"
31499Are you crazy-- and if you''re not, what on earth are you talking about?"
31499Are you going to let him stay here?"
31499Arrest them, will yer?"
31499But do I bear you any malice?
31499But how about the way things are now?
31499But look here, there were two girls on guard last night, and what good did it do us?"
31499But suppose he has seen Holmes or some of the others since Bessie got him to promise to go to Charlie Jamieson in the city?"
31499But tell me, does n''t anyone live on this island?
31499Ca n''t you see that?"
31499Could n''t you all come out for a sail with me in my motor launch?
31499Did n''t your father, a very rich man, resent your marriage so deeply that he tried to ruin your husband in order to force you to leave him?"
31499Did they get in all right?"
31499Did you call me, Bessie?"
31499Did you know that he was arrested the day before yesterday at Plum Beach?"
31499Do n''t we have to sail around it?"
31499Do n''t you see that she''ll blame us for making trouble between you girls and her?
31499Do n''t you suppose she''ll go home right away?
31499Do n''t you want to be with us?"
31499Do you know, I really feel that we''ll be safer here now than if we went somewhere else?
31499Do you mean that he kept it up after that?"
31499Do you mean that you''ve organized a new Camp Fire?"
31499Do you mean they were n''t content with that?"
31499Do you mean to say that you''re snobbish, too, and did n''t want neighbors you did n''t know?
31499Do you mean to tell me that you and I are n''t in a better class socially than these girls you''re camping with?"
31499Do you remember how I said I was sorry we were leaving the mountains?"
31499Do you remember my telling you?
31499Do you see that?
31499Do you, Marcia?"
31499Does that help you to remember?"
31499Eh, Trenwith?"
31499Girls whose parents have as much money as yours?
31499Gladys, do you feel all right?"
31499He was spoiled by his mother, was n''t he?
31499He''s a very rich man, is n''t he, Dolly?"
31499How did it happen?"
31499How did she find you?"
31499How did you get into my house?"
31499How long ago did Zara and her father come to Hedgeville, Bessie?"
31499I do n''t suppose you want him arrested?"
31499I was always good to you, mostly, was n''t I?"
31499I wonder if Mr. Jamieson can be here already?"
31499If we did n''t pay any attention at all to her it would n''t do her a bit of good to get angry, would it?"
31499If you''re not, wo n''t you explain what you mean?"
31499Is he well?"
31499Is n''t this a surprise?
31499Is she all right?
31499Is this your man Holmes?"
31499It was she who told you that she had died?"
31499It''s pretty solid and complete, is n''t it?"
31499Jamieson?"
31499Jamieson?"
31499Like my girls at Lake Dean?"
31499May I ask how long you intend to keep me here as a prisoner?"
31499Now, did n''t you?"
31499Shall I go ahead, and start the flame?"
31499She can take your place as Guardian for a few hours, ca n''t she?"
31499She''s done it plenty of times before now-- you did n''t think you could keep her from doing it this time, too, did you?"
31499So you''ve given up your love for the mountains?"
31499Talking about losing one''s temper, I wonder if Gladys Cooper is still mad at us?"
31499Tell me how it happened, wo n''t you?"
31499That was sort of funny, was n''t it, as well as unpleasant?
31499The girls have told me all about the horrid way they acted at Lake Dean, but really, you ca n''t blame them so much, can you, Nell?
31499Think there''ll be enough wind?"
31499Trenwith?"
31499Want to race to the bar?"
31499We''ll have another race, wo n''t we?
31499We''ve really had enough to make us pretty tired, have n''t we?"
31499What can I do for you?"
31499What do you mean by girls of your own class?
31499What do you mean?"
31499What do you think now?"
31499What happened?
31499What''s Holmes doing there, anyhow?
31499What?"
31499Whatever did she mean by what she said just then about knowing more than we thought?"
31499When shall we have it?"
31499Where is she?"
31499Who is your skipper?"
31499Why are n''t you in bed, sleeping off that ducking?"
31499Why did n''t you come right out and ask for us?
31499Why did n''t you come to the front door instead of climbing in that way?
31499Why did n''t you tell us?"
31499Why do n''t you come there this winter?"
31499Why do you suppose she was so angry, and got the other girls in their camp at Lake Dean to hating us so much when we first went there?"
31499Why, do you suppose I''d have let them treat you as I was treated to- night?
31499Why, how did those wretches know that some of us would n''t be hurt?"
31499Why, hullo-- what''s that?
31499Why, what are you laughing at?"
31499Will she stay here?
31499Wo n''t you girls come over and help us?"
31499Women have to go into shops and offices and factories to earn a living, do n''t they, just the way men do?"
31499You did n''t think we were going to eat you, did you?"
31499You have n''t given up hope, have you?"
31499You heard that, did n''t you?"
31499You mean he might have been here just as a spy, with no idea of showing himself at all?"
31499You refused to leave your husband, however, and when he decided to go to Alaska, you went with him?
31499You spent a good deal of time in the Far North, and when you went out for a rest, you came no further east than Seattle or San Francisco?"
31499You told her that you were afraid of what Holmes would do to you?"
31499You''ll be nice to her, wo n''t you?
31499You''re pretty well scared, are n''t you?
34443After all, is n''t it a good deal as Bessie said? 34443 All ready?
34443And Henry, too? 34443 And there he made a lucky strike, some four or five years ago, that made him far richer than he had ever dreamed of becoming?"
34443And will you take me with you? 34443 And you have not always been as well off, financially, as you are now?"
34443And-- can you keep a secret?
34443Any sign of that boat from Rock Haven?
34443Are n''t there any boats here beside that old flat bottom skiff?
34443Are n''t there? 34443 Are n''t they all in now?"
34443Bessie, you''ve never been in a sail boat, have you? 34443 But I suppose there was a good reason?"
34443But how could they have done that, if there were none of them here on the beach, Dolly?
34443But how on earth are you going to get ashore if the engine wo n''t work?
34443But that order''s no good in this state?
34443But they kept her on, just the same?
34443But what good does it do you? 34443 But why are you going to stop being Guardian, Miss Eleanor?"
34443But why did you bring Bessie back here? 34443 But why, Charlie-- why?"
34443But, although you were rich, you did not come home? 34443 But, really, Jamieson, you ca n''t blame us much, can you?
34443But-- how did I get here?
34443Can I go, too?
34443Can you ever forgive me?
34443Did they get that telephone fixed up, Nell?
34443Did you know we were here-- how did you find out?
34443Did you locate them? 34443 Did you notice how she spoke about Bessie, Miss Eleanor?"
34443Do n''t you think we might be able to make a break and get away?
34443Do n''t you think you tacked a little too soon?
34443Do you mean that you''re not going to let me join?
34443Do you realize that we''ve been so excited that we have n''t had any breakfast? 34443 Do you think she can make it, Dolly?"
34443Does n''t it make you love her more than ever?
34443Does she mean it, Charlie?
34443Dolly, run over and get the other girls, wo n''t you? 34443 Found you could n''t get away, eh, Bessie?
34443Getting pretty independent, are n''t they?
34443Given up?

34443Really, Miss Mercer-- why, where has that little baggage gone to?
34443See? 34443 Shall I give the word?"
34443She is n''t dead? 34443 So Holmes had been in it from the start?"
34443So he''s spying around here now, is he?
34443So that fire last night was n''t an accident at all?

34443What are you going to do now?
34443What are your terms?
34443What do they call their boat?
34443What do you mean, dear?
34443What do you mean?
34443What does all this nonsense mean? 34443 What does this mean?"
34443What good would that do?
34443What is your desire?

34443What state do you think this island is in?

34443What''s next?
34443What''s the nearest town in this direction?
34443What''s the use?
34443What? 34443 What?"
34443Whatever are we going to do, Miss Eleanor?

34443Where have you been?
34443Where to, Dolly? 34443 Who goes there?"
34443Who''s going to camp here?
34443Who''s going to take them in, and give them their rings, Miss Eleanor?
34443Why ca n''t you be sensible? 34443 Why not this afternoon?"

34443Wo n''t Jake Hoover help, Charlie?
34443Wonder who they can be?
34443Would n''t it? 34443 Yes, but do n''t you think that''s something a person has to learn for herself, without anyone to teach her, Marcia?
34443You could n''t swim, and you do n''t remember anything after that, do you? 34443 You do n''t suppose this could be another trick of Mr. Holmes''s, do you, Charlie?"
34443You do n''t think they were asleep, do you, Dolly?
34443You here, Elizabeth?
34443You know who this man is, do you not? 34443 You lose your temper pretty quickly, Dolly, but you get over being angry just as quickly as you get mad, do n''t you?"
34443You mean you think she likes me to get angry?
34443You sinner, why did n''t you tell us what you were going to do?

34443You''d have done it for me, would n''t you? 34443 You''re in politics, are n''t you?
34443You''re not afraid?
34443You, or Miss Turner?
34443After all, why should n''t I tell you?
34443All agreed to that, are you?"
34443And did n''t we tell you we had a surprise for you?"
34443And do n''t you think it looks as if we were right?"
34443And do you know what worries me most of all?"
34443And is n''t that dreadful, Bessie?
34443And what our feelings are concerning him?
34443And where is Trenwith?"
34443And you have ambitions for more of a job than you''ve got now?"
34443Answer my question-- do you think this is in the state where the courts have put Bessie in charge of Silas Weeks?"
34443Are n''t you going to behave decently?"
34443Are you all ready?"
34443Are you crazy-- and if you''re not, what on earth are you talking about?"
34443Are you going to let him stay here?"
34443Arrest them, will yer?"
34443But do I bear you any malice?
34443But how about the way things are now?
34443But look here, there were two girls on guard last night, and what good did it do us?"
34443But suppose he has seen Holmes or some of the others since Bessie got him to promise to go to Charlie Jamieson in the city?"
34443But tell me, does n''t anyone live on this island?
34443But what''s an old race, anyhow?"
34443Ca n''t you see that?"
34443Could n''t you all come out for a sail with me in my motor launch?
34443Did n''t your father, a very rich man, resent your marriage so deeply that he tried to ruin your husband in order to force you to leave him?"
34443Did they get in all right?"
34443Did you call me, Bessie?"
34443Did you know that he was arrested the day before yesterday at Plum Beach?"
34443Do n''t we have to sail around it?"
34443Do n''t you see that she''ll blame us for making trouble between you girls and her?
34443Do n''t you suppose she''ll go home right away?
34443Do n''t you want to be with us?"
34443Do you know, I really feel that we''ll be safer here now than if we went somewhere else?
34443Do you mean that he kept it up after that?"
34443Do you mean that you''ve organized a new Camp Fire?"
34443Do you mean they were n''t content with that?"
34443Do you mean to say that you''re snobbish, too, and did n''t want neighbors you did n''t know?
34443Do you mean to tell me that you and I are n''t in a better class socially than these girls you''re camping with?"
34443Do you remember how I said I was sorry we were leaving the mountains?"
34443Do you remember my telling you?
34443Do you see that?
34443Do you suppose I can see Colonel Hart?"
34443Do you, Marcia?"
34443Does that help you to remember?"
34443Eh, Trenwith?"
34443Girls whose parents have as much money as yours?
34443Gladys, do you feel all right?"
34443He was spoiled by his mother, was n''t he?
34443He''s a very rich man, is n''t he, Dolly?"
34443How did it happen?"
34443How did she find you?"
34443How did you get into my house?"
34443How long ago did Zara and her father come to Hedgeville, Bessie?"
34443I do n''t suppose you want him arrested?"
34443I was always good to you, mostly, was n''t I?"
34443I wonder if Mr. Jamieson can be here already?"
34443If we did n''t pay any attention at all to her it would n''t do her a bit of good to get angry, would it?"
34443If you''re not, wo n''t you explain what you mean?"
34443Is he well?"
34443Is n''t this a surprise?
34443Is she all right?
34443Is this your man Holmes?"
34443It was she who told you that she had died?"
34443It''s pretty solid and complete, is n''t it?"
34443Jamieson?"
34443Jamieson?"
34443Like my girls at Lake Dean?"
34443May I ask how long you intend to keep me here as a prisoner?"
34443Now, did n''t you?"
34443Shall I go ahead, and start the flame?"
34443She can take your place as Guardian for a few hours, ca n''t she?"
34443She''s done it plenty of times before now-- you did n''t think you could keep her from doing it this time, too, did you?"
34443So Gladys has decided to stay, has she?"
34443So you''ve given up your love for the mountains?"
34443Talking about losing one''s temper, I wonder if Gladys Cooper is still mad at us?"
34443Tell Miss Eleanor he''s here, will you, and ask her to come out?
34443Tell me how it happened, wo n''t you?"
34443Tell me, can you take me to this house, and show me how to get in?"
34443That was sort of funny, was n''t it, as well as unpleasant?
34443The girls have told me all about the horrid way they acted at Lake Dean, but really, you ca n''t blame them so much, can you, Nell?
34443Think there''ll be enough wind?"
34443Trenwith?"
34443Want to race to the bar?"
34443We''ll have another race, wo n''t we?
34443We''ve really had enough to make us pretty tired, have n''t we?"
34443What are you doing here?"
34443What can I do for you?"
34443What do you mean by girls of your own class?
34443What do you mean?"
34443What do you think now?"
34443What happened?
34443What''s Holmes doing there, anyhow?
34443What?"
34443Whatever did she mean by what she said just then about knowing more than we thought?"
34443When shall we have it?"
34443Where is she?"
34443Who is your skipper?"
34443Why are n''t you in bed, sleeping off that ducking?"
34443Why did n''t you come right out and ask for us?
34443Why did n''t you come to the front door instead of climbing in that way?
34443Why did n''t you tell us?"
34443Why do n''t you come there this winter?"
34443Why do you suppose she was so angry, and got the other girls in their camp at Lake Dean to hating us so much when we first went there?"
34443Why, do you suppose I''d have let them treat you as I was treated to- night?
34443Why, how did those wretches know that some of us would n''t be hurt?"
34443Why, hullo-- what''s that?
34443Why, what are you laughing at?"
34443Will she stay here?
34443Wo n''t you girls come over and help us?"
34443Women have to go into shops and offices and factories to earn a living, do n''t they, just the way men do?"
34443You did n''t think we were going to eat you, did you?"
34443You have n''t given up hope, have you?"
34443You heard that, did n''t you?"
34443You mean he might have been here just as a spy, with no idea of showing himself at all?"
34443You refused to leave your husband, however, and when he decided to go to Alaska, you went with him?"
34443You spent a good deal of time in the Far North, and when you went out for a rest, you came no further east than Seattle or San Francisco?"
34443You told her that you were afraid of what Holmes would do to you?"
34443You''ll be nice to her, wo n''t you?
34443You''re pretty well scared, are n''t you?
34443You''re starting now?"
36485And how do you know it is a fake?
36485Are they the plans of your wedding journey or your new home?
36485Are you Fate? 36485 Are you going to board with any of the school board?"
36485Are you sure you do n''t know anything about it?
36485Board with the Board?
36485But Father,I said,"you surely are n''t going to carry that man into the house?
36485But how shall we give them to her?
36485But what on earth_ were_ you doing when we found you in the woods?
36485Ca n''t you give them to somebody?
36485Could I build it up again?
36485Could I give some other lecture just as well?
36485Did I do what?
36485Did I scare you?
36485Did n''t I hear Gladys putting you to bed that night and going off for hot water?
36485Did you find it, then?
36485Did you threaten to leave if they discharged me?
36485Do folks really think I set fire to it? 36485 Do what?"
36485Do you all see that dark spot over there?
36485Do you have many such intellectual- looking gentlemen around here?
36485Do you know who did?
36485Do you mind if I use any more paint?
36485Do you suppose,I inquired in a perplexed tone,"that they''d enjoy it just as much if the costumes have to be imaginary?"
36485Do you think he''s going to throw up the ball?
36485Father,I said, when the creature was out of earshot,"you surely were n''t going to hire that ape to work here?"
36485Find out I was off on a picnic and bring the Board down to visit me?
36485Fine or superfine?
36485Girl, what are you?
36485Going back?
36485Hated to lose what bargain?
36485Have I got too much color on my face?
36485Have you a blue velvet band?
36485Have you gone into the trucking business?
36485Here''s the fatal missive,he said,"or would you rather leave it in the pudding?"
36485Hinpoha, what on earth is the matter with you?
36485Hinpoha,she said suddenly, popping her head out of the water like a devil fish,"what did you ever do with them all?
36485Honest?
36485How are we going to do it?
36485How can you stand it among such poor trash?
36485How could you? 36485 How dare you deny it?
36485How did it get there?
36485How did you ever do it?
36485How did you get here? 36485 How does it happen that you were n''t at the fire?"
36485I do n''t look very threatening, now, do I?
36485I say, wo n''t you be a guest at a little dinner the frat brothers are giving this evening, and tell them to the boys? 36485 If you please,"said Migwan breathlessly,"could you give some other lecture just as well?"
36485Is n''t this evening peaceful, though? 36485 Is that you, Father?"
36485Justice,I cried severely,"did you do it?"
36485Me? 36485 Miss Adams,"he said severely, when he had recovered his breath sufficiently to speak,"what does this mean?
36485My dear,she said,"would you consider leaving this place and coming East with me?
36485Now, how do you like it?
36485O Justice,said I,"did you ever see anything so touching as the pride some of those poor women took in their boys and girls?
36485Oh, Migwan, what would we do without you?
36485Oh, it''s you, is it?
36485Oh- Pshaw and Agony?
36485Pray, what is it?
36485Quite a different- looking bird, is n''t he?
36485Remember the circus we gave at home last year?
36485See here, Justice Sherman,I said,"are you hiding yourself to avoid military service?
36485See here, you were n''t smoking any cigarettes in there, and dropped a lighted stub, perhaps?
36485So you threw your invention into the New York Harbor, did you?
36485So you''ve run away, have you?
36485THE WINNEBAGO LIBRARY PASSED ON BY THOSE WHO KNOW AND LOVE GOOD BOOKS TO THOSE WHO WILL SOON KNOW AND LOVE THEMHow did you do it?
36485Then why the tears?
36485We''re making a tour of Purgatory trying to dispose of our surplus furniture,I said, trying to be offhand,"Have you any room to spare?"
36485What are you afraid of, if you did n''t do it?
36485What are you inventing now?
36485What did I do with what?
36485What did you do with them all?
36485What did you invent?
36485What did you tell us?
36485What do you mean?
36485What does it matter, after all?
36485What fad?
36485What for?
36485What for?
36485What have you been doing all this time?
36485What is it?
36485What is it?
36485What is it?
36485What kind of an Indian legend?
36485What on earth?
36485What will Mr. Butts say?
36485What will the Board say?
36485What''s Camp Fire?
36485What''s that?
36485What''s the matter, have you had a sunstroke?
36485What''s the matter?
36485What''s the trouble, Absalom,said I, trying to speak in a natural tone of voice,"ca n''t you find your way home?"
36485What''s the trouble, Sally?
36485What''s this?
36485What''s to hinder?
36485Whatever has gotten into him?
36485Whatever will we do with those things?
36485When did you get out?
36485Where did they come from? 36485 Where did you come from?
36485Where did you find him?
36485Where from?
36485Where''s that schoolhouse?
36485Where?
36485Where?
36485Who am I?
36485Who are you and what are you doing here?
36485Who are you?
36485Who is he and what is he doing?
36485Who is the object of his affection?
36485Who''s Sally Prindle?
36485Who''s going to raise it?
36485Why did n''t you tell us where you were??
36485Why did n''t you tell us where you were??
36485Why have n''t you?
36485Why not roll up the road and set it down on the other side of field?
36485Why not, if it''s in the way? 36485 Why not?"
36485Why not?
36485Why on earth did n''t you tell us you could paint jewelry, Sally Prindle?
36485Why so deucedly pensive?
36485Why,he explained,"you have a room of your own, have n''t you?
36485Why? 36485 Why?"
36485Will you please come?
36485Will you, please?
36485Would n''t you like to know?
36485Would you advise me to wear my Ceremonial gown or my Red Cross apron and cap?
36485Would you put the flag on the schoolhouse, or set up a pole in the ground?
36485Yes,Migwan went on desperately, trying to get it over with quickly,"could you?
36485You ai n''t running away from school, are you?
36485You did n''t do it, then?
36485You do n''t mean really?
36485You knew, and you jumped into the water after me anyway?
36485You see that little pin? 36485 You wrote it yourself because it was simply pouring and Harriet had a sore throat?"
36485You''re the only Katherine Adams in these parts, are n''t you?
36485You_ are_ going away then?
36485_ Did_ somebody?
36485_ You_ do n''t think I done it?
36485_ You_ put it there?
36485_ You_ sent them?
36485And did you see that one poor woman who tried to fix herself up for the occasion?
36485And now that I_ am_ here at last,"he added,"are n''t you going to ask me in?
36485And who do you suppose led the parade?
36485Are you a slacker?"
36485Are you human or superhuman, that you can play with people''s destinies like that?
36485Are you touring?
36485As it says in the poem we learned in literature class:"What were the garden bowers of Thebes to me?"
36485Asked a hundred girls to give one book apiece?
36485But she did n''t; all she said was,"So you are Miss Brewster, are you?"
36485But what was the use of accusing Ethel when her mother would n''t believe it anyway?
36485But where was Captain Bannister?
36485By the way, what_ were_ you doing in there?"
36485Can you guess how many girls marched?
36485Can you imagine anyone who has never done a stunt in all their lives?
36485Come to the party, wo n''t you please, Sally?
36485Could you build up your thingummyjig again?"
36485Dearest Winnebagos: You do n''t happen to know of anyone that would like to employ a good country schoolma''am for the rest of the term, do you?
36485Dearest and Best of Winnies: Oh, you angels without wings, how am I ever going to thank you?
36485Did I hesitate a second?
36485Did I say it was dull out here?
36485Did n''t you see it?"
36485Did she know he was an ignorant servant?
36485Did we get the loving cup?
36485Did you know that I only got this job of teaching because nobody else would take it?
36485Do n''t things turn out queerly, though?
36485Do n''t you see what I mean?
36485Do you know why she was so queer and stand- offish to people all this while?
36485Do you realize that I am the sole survivor of our once large and lusty crew?
36485Do you really think there''s any chance of my ever doing it?"
36485Do you see what the Winnebagos have gone and done?
36485Everything was just the way we had left it the night of our last Ceremonial Meeting-- do you realize that we never went out after that?
36485Get the effect, do you?
36485Have you upset your stomach again?"
36485He teach high school?
36485How came it here?
36485How could we notify his family-- if he had a family?
36485How could you sit there and hear your mother accuse poor Clarice of taking it?"
36485How did you ever happen to stop here?"
36485How do you do, gentlemen?"
36485How in the world could you be stiff and formal with two girls whose names were Agony and_ Oh_-Pshaw?
36485How on earth did you manage to do it all?
36485How shall we manage it, Migwan?"
36485How will we ever get along without her here?"
36485How?"
36485I could n''t go away without my knife, could I?"
36485I felt badly over it, of course, for who can lose a good position and not be cut up about it?
36485I have n''t been requested to vacate my present quarters yet, or do I understand that you are even now serving notice?"
36485I mean can we have a Ceremonial Meeting in blue calico and imagine it''s Ceremonial costumes?"
36485I think fat girls should marry thin men, do n''t you?
36485If it gives him so much pleasure to think he''s discovered something, why spoil it all?"
36485Is n''t life glorious, though?
36485Is n''t life queer?
36485It does make quite a difference, now, does n''t it?"
36485Just as soon as this letter reaches you, Gladys, will you send me that recipe for hand lotion you told me you used?
36485Katherine Adams, do n''t you know me?
36485Katherine, do you know that you have ruined our whole lives?
36485Migwan looked at it and said,"What charade does it make you think of?"
36485My green and purple plaid silk would look chaste and retiring among the spotless white of the choir, now, would n''t it?"
36485Now are n''t you glad you''re a Winnebago?
36485O my Winnies, do n''t you see the miracle of it all?
36485Of course they were stupid-- how could they be otherwise, poor, pitiful, ill- clad, overworked creatures, coming from such homes as they did?
36485Oh, My Winnies: How can I tell it?
36485P. S. O Katherine,_ mon amie_, why are n''t you here?
36485Remember the time I was Lemonade Committee when we climbed Windy Hill and I carefully provided water and sugar and spoons and glasses, and no lemons?
36485Should I go back and run the risk of missing him, or stay and see if he came?
36485Suppose he should be killed?
36485Suppose that he had discovered that he had left the bag behind and gone back after it only to find it gone?
36485That red, lurid glare that dimmed the glory of the stars and threw buildings and barns into black relief?
36485Their only motto seems to be,"Pa and ma did n''t have no education and they got along, so why should we bother?"
36485Then I added rather lamely,"Pleasant day, is it not?"
36485Then I added,"I wonder where Absalom was?"
36485Then she said,"Will you come back to our house after I have told mother the whole thing?
36485To whom shall we give them?"
36485Under what star were you born, anyway?"
36485Was this what she meant, I wonder?
36485Was this where he had been and what he had done the while?
36485We are going to motor back with him and Justice-- won''t it be glorious?
36485We stood in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial monument, and who do you suppose presented the flag?
36485We talked about it a bit, and where do you suppose this Social Settlement is?
36485What could he do after that neat little speech but take the compliment to himself and pass the matter off lightly?
36485What did pa say?"
36485What do you suppose was in it?
36485What made them change their minds, I wonder?"
36485What on earth are we going to do?
36485What on earth have you done now?
36485What should I do?
36485What was Jupiter compared to Captain Bannister?
36485What was in it?
36485What was that sudden glare that shone out against the sky, over to the south?
36485What''s to hinder?"
36485Whatever possessed you to write such a letter?"
36485When did anyone ever have such friends as I?
36485Where have you been all this time?"
36485Where is the Torch that you started out with so gaily flaring?
36485Where''s your father?"
36485Who could eat ice cream with their soul seething in love?
36485Who did you think sent them?"
36485Who else did?"
36485Who was he, wandering around like that among strangers and dying in the house of a man he had never seen?
36485Who would ever have suspected that the most inartistic- looking girl in the whole college had such a talent up her sleeve?
36485Who would ever have thought it possible, six months ago?
36485Why ai n''t you teaching school to- day?
36485Why am I not like the other people in this section, with whom ignorance is bliss, grammar an unknown quantity, and culture a thing to be sneered at?
36485Why did he choose to live in this cell when he might have taken rooms with any of the school board members over in Spencer?
36485Why do crickets and grasshoppers and owls make me feel as though I''d lost my last friend, instead of impressing me with the sociability of Nature?
36485Why do n''t you fix it up just the way you had planned to have your room in college?
36485Why do n''t you?"
36485Why had he done so?
36485Why had he run away if he had n''t?
36485Why on earth ca n''t they put something interesting into school readers?
36485Why would he be willing to teach a farce of a high school like the one in Spencer?
36485Why, O why did you come to us only to go away again?
36485Will you look through the bag while I finish dressing?"
36485Wo n''t Nyoda be proud of us?"
36485Wo n''t my girls revel in those beads and looms, though?
36485Wo n''t you please come?"
36485Wo n''t you please consider it unsaid?"
36485Would he come down to the train at all without the bag?
36485Would he not go back and search for it, alarming the whole college?
36485Would you mind sending out a magazine once in a while after you have finished reading it?
36485You all have your lunch baskets, have n''t you?"
36485You can see it, ca n''t you?
36485You do n''t mean to say that there are a hundred girls interested in us poor backwoods folks out here in Spencer?
36485You know who the Harpers are, of course?"
36485You love me, do n''t you?"
36485You remember I told you I had planned a little last- day- of- school celebration for the scholars?
36485You remember my telling about Sally Prindle long ago, the time we tried to fix up her room for her and she would n''t let us?
36485You remember the Anderson place out on the East Shore, do n''t you?
36485You remember where I left off the last time, with the strange man I had found in Sandhelo''s stable out of his head on the kitchen lounge?
36485You see what I''m up against?
36485You see what a job I have ahead of me as a Camp Fire Guardian?
36485_ Where_ did you ever find time to make those twelve ceremonial dresses?
36485asked Agony enviously, as we dressed together,"somersault and all?
22652Am I? 22652 And all the farm grew from that?"
22652And is it a through train-- an express?
22652And it will be splendid, wo n''t it, girls? 22652 Are they coming back here this summer?"
22652Are you Bessie King?
22652Bessie, do you know what I think?
22652But it is a lovely spot, and it''s public land along here, is n''t it?
22652But there was a frightful wreck not so very long ago, was n''t there? 22652 But they ought to do it for themselves, you mean?"
22652But what can they do?
22652But will he tell? 22652 But would n''t she have told me so, Dolly?"
22652But you like to know about people and places you''ve never seen, do n''t you?
22652Ca n''t we go away from here to- night, Miss Eleanor?
22652Could n''t divers go down after her?
22652Did n''t his father ever see what a worthless scamp he was?
22652Did n''t you feel pretty bad when you heard Gladys and Marcia were lost in the woods last night? 22652 Did they get aboard your train?"
22652Did they look in that car?
22652Did they?
22652Did you know that? 22652 Do many people come through here, Miss Eleanor?"
22652Do n''t they often find lots of other things beside wood along the coast after a great storm, Miss Eleanor?
22652Do n''t you think Marcia would enjoy that?
22652Do you believe those stories, Dolly?
22652Do you know what I''ve noticed most, Bessie, about the way he''s gone to work?
22652Do you mean you would n''t stay here if they did, Miss Eleanor?
22652Do you mean you''d be willing-- that you''d be friends with me, after all the mean things I''ve done to you?
22652Do you really think we can get a new start here?
22652Do you think he will?
22652Do you think she''ll let us do it?
22652Do you think they''d do that, Bessie? 22652 Does your father enjoy farming?"
22652Dolly, ca n''t you see the point yet for yourself? 22652 Got any money?"
22652Have you a husband? 22652 Have you a time- table?
22652Have you ever seen this before?
22652He tried to help to get Zara back to that Farmer Weeks who would have been her guardian if she had n''t come to join the Camp Fire, did n''t he?
22652He would n''t, and how''s he goin''to find out, anyhow? 22652 How about the morning, Jeff?"
22652How about the other things-- milk, and eggs, and all those?
22652How be you, Mis''Pratt? 22652 How can I help it?"
22652How can we help them otherwise, though?
22652How can you think we''d do that?
22652How did you manage to hide Zara?
22652How do you know they did n''t, Bessie? 22652 How do you mean?
22652How do you suppose he has managed to be away from home so much, Bessie?
22652How in tarnation did you come to git off that there train, hey?
22652How is that, Dolly? 22652 How long will that take?"
22652How on earth could you get all the lumber you need ready so quickly? 22652 How-- how in time did you ever find that out?"
22652I do n''t see how they could possibly have been saved, do you, Miss Eleanor?
22652I hope you did n''t sell the fish and clams you promised us to someone else?
22652I just could n''t bear to take charity--"Charity? 22652 I knew you would n''t keep on hating us when you knew us better-- and you''ll forgive me, wo n''t you, for playing that horrid trick with the mice?"
22652I suppose we''ll be able to get you to take us out in the launch sometimes while we''re here?
22652I suppose what happened to Gladys last night was one of the things you were talking about when you wanted us to be patient, was n''t it?
22652I suppose you thought you''d come to the end of the burned part?
22652I wonder if they''ll come back this way, toward the camp? 22652 I wonder why the fire should spare some places and not others?"
22652I''ll have to go back and work for Farmer Weeks, and you-- will they make you go back to Maw Hoover?
22652If I send a telegram right now, can it be delivered to Miss Mercer, on that train that just went out, before she gets to Canton?
22652If you''re going on that half past nine boat we''ll go back now, and let you pack, unless we can help you?
22652Is everything ready? 22652 Is it a regular hotel?"
22652Is n''t it fine that we''ve got those blankets?
22652Is that so?
22652Is that the message he sent, Dolly?
22652Is there any fishing?
22652Is there driftwood here for a camp fire, do you suppose, the way there was last year, Miss Eleanor?
22652Is this your house?
22652It did n''t look so bad from our side of the lake, though, did it?
22652It does n''t seem to be so with these men, though, does it? 22652 It would have been dreadful, would n''t it, Bessie?
22652It''s a good thing we came up this way, is n''t it?
22652It''s a lucky thing there were n''t any houses along here, is n''t it?
22652It''s that we ought not to be glad when people are in trouble, even if they are mean to us, is n''t it? 22652 Listen here-- who''s giving orders here?
22652Look here, Dolly, is n''t there another train to Plum Beach? 22652 Money?
22652Mrs. Pratt, how far is it to a part of the woods that was n''t burned? 22652 Nothing?"
22652Now, ai n''t there somethin''Ann an''I can do to help?
22652Now, look here, Jake, what have you done that makes you so afraid of Mr. Holmes and these other wicked men?
22652Of course, it would be all right in this weather, but do you think it will stay like this very long?
22652Oh, and now they send those things in the big ships that are safer, I suppose?
22652Oh, and this is the lumber for his house?
22652Oh, ca n''t we stop and see that?
22652Oh, how could he, Dolly? 22652 Oh, whatever kept you so long?"
22652Oh,said Mrs. Pratt,"have you really got to go?
22652Say, Tim, do n''t think much of this game, do you?
22652See here, my buck, the boss do n''t want any slip- up on this job-- see? 22652 Shall we row you ashore, ma''am, or do you want to see the rest of the fun on board?"
22652Supper?
22652Suppose she just kept the money, and pretended she never got it at all, Bessie? 22652 Tell me what you found out, ca n''t you?
22652Tell me, Mrs. Pratt-- you are still fond of this place, are n''t you?
22652That looks as if they did n''t mean to do anything to- night, does n''t it, Dolly?
22652That will be good fun, wo n''t it? 22652 That''s very strange, is n''t it?"
22652That''s why it''s the symbol of the Camp Fire, is n''t it?
22652The Worcesters? 22652 The boss, though-- suppose Jeff told him?"
22652The train does n''t stop at any place that is n''t marked down for it on the time- table, does it?
22652Then they have a real meaning, have n''t they?
22652Then what''s the use of still being angry at them? 22652 Then you sold the milk, I suppose?"
22652Then you used to like to read?
22652There certainly is, Bessie; but how can we wait for it? 22652 They''re pretty careful about the way they walk-- see?"
22652Think it''s safe?
22652This is more fun than one of our silly adventures, is n''t it, Dolly? 22652 This is n''t much of a city, is it?"
22652Turning preacher, Dolly?
22652Until you two girls are twenty- one?
22652Was n''t that lucky?
22652We''ll do as you say, all right, all right, but ca n''t you tell a guy what''s doin''?
22652Well, Mr. Holmes is trying to get hold of you, too, is n''t he?
22652Well, are n''t you still glad of it, Dolly? 22652 Well, do n''t you think she just made a mistake, and then was afraid to admit it, and try to make up for it?
22652Well, do you see what they were up to, now, Dolly?
22652Well, he lets people come here to camp, does n''t he?
22652Well, is n''t that a good idea? 22652 Well, it looks like it, does n''t it?"
22652Well, then, if that''s true, why should n''t it be true if someone does something hateful to me? 22652 Well, was n''t I right?
22652Were you looking for me?
22652What are you going to do in Cranford?
22652What can people like you do to help us?
22652What do you mean, Dolly?
22652What do you suppose started this fire, Miss Eleanor?
22652What do you suppose they''ll try to do now?
22652What has she got to forgive? 22652 What is that there, ahead of us, in the road?"
22652What time are we going to start, Miss Eleanor?
22652What''s that, Miss Mercer?
22652What''s that?
22652What''s the game, Jeff?
22652What''s the matter with you, Bessie?
22652What''s wrong here?
22652What''s wrong, Larry; do you know?
22652What, for instance?
22652What?
22652Whatever are they doing here?
22652Whatever does this mean, Bessie? 22652 When you make butter you salt it and keep it to use here, do n''t you?"
22652Where are you going?
22652Who cares?
22652Who is your''boss''?
22652Who wants a drink? 22652 Who''s the detective now?
22652Why are you looking at your map and your time- table so carefully, Bessie?
22652Why are you so good to us?
22652Why are you''afraid''?
22652Why not pull it off to- night, Jeff?
22652Why not? 22652 Why not?
22652Why should I? 22652 Why should n''t we make a sort of floor for the lean- to?
22652Why should we want to call you?
22652Why, Bessie, you say you may like it better when you see it? 22652 Why, however did you manage to get all those orders?"
22652Why, they''ll be like the Indian lean- tos I''ve read about, wo n''t they?
22652Why, what''s the matter, Bessie?
22652Why, what''s this?
22652Why, where''s Gladys Cooper?
22652Why, you do n''t think anyone could see you in so much trouble and not stop to try to help you, do you?
22652Will you go of your own accord, then?
22652Wo n''t you teach us some of them? 22652 Wo n''t you tell us, Miss Eleanor?"
22652You ai n''t a- goin''to stay here and watch them, are you?
22652You ca n''t swim much in the sea, can you? 22652 You mean it will be a place where the Pratts can sleep?"
22652You mean she has n''t forgiven us?
22652You mean you''re going to put up a square house?
22652You say the fire stopped you from going ahead with his house?
22652You were always good friends with Gladys until you met her up here, were n''t you?
22652Your train came right through, did n''t it?
22652A later one, that would get us there an hour or so after the other girls, if they go on this one?"
22652Ai n''t I, boys?"
22652And do you know why?
22652And how many times have you nearly missed breakfast by going back to bed after you''d pretended to get up?"
22652And it makes you think of how much hard luck people have, and how easy it would be for people who are better off to help them, does n''t it?"
22652And we''ll show who''s afraid-- eh, old sport?"
22652And we''ve had a good time, have n''t we?"
22652And what was in it?"
22652And what''s that-- just the nails I want?
22652And why do you suppose they''re acting that way?
22652And, by the way, had n''t you better tell me your name?"
22652Are you and Bessie going for a walk, Dolly?"
22652But I do n''t see why--""Why they should pick out Canton rather than any other station where the trains stop along the line?"
22652But I wonder what he thinks we''d do to him, even if we did see him?"
22652But if those girls in the camp next door had had their way, we would n''t have had a single pleasant thing to remember about staying here, would we?"
22652But it does look kind of nice, do n''t it?"
22652But it was n''t our fault, and it really is a good thing we heard them, is n''t it?
22652But of course I had to jump in to help my neighbors-- wouldn''t be much profit about having the only house left standing in town, would there?"
22652But you have a lot of fun and good times, too, do n''t you?"
22652But, even if they had, what could they do?
22652CHAPTER IX A STARTLING DISCOVERY"Bessie, why are you looking so glum?"
22652Ca n''t we have supper pretty soon, Miss Eleanor?"
22652Ca n''t you see where she goes wrong, Bessie?"
22652Come on, Bessie-- feel like taking a little walk with me?"
22652Could anything be better fun than doing good this way?
22652Could n''t I bring her to one some time?"
22652Did I ever tell on you when you''d done anything wrong, and your father would have licked you?"
22652Did n''t I forgive you for all the mean things you did, and help you every way I could?
22652Did n''t I tell you on deck that there''s no such party aboard, and that I never even heard of him?
22652Did n''t Maw Hoover get most of the letters on the farm?"
22652Did n''t you think, from the way they talked, that they would do anything if they thought they would get well paid for it?"
22652Did you ever see those men before?"
22652Do n''t you know that these men would sacrifice you and throw you over in a minute if they thought they could n''t get anything more out of you?
22652Do n''t you love this place?"
22652Do n''t you recognize Jud Harkness driving the first team there?"
22652Do n''t you suppose Mr. Holmes must be coming on board that yacht, Miss Eleanor?"
22652Do n''t you suppose they try?"
22652Do n''t you think she''s a little softer already?"
22652Do n''t you think so too, Miss Eleanor?"
22652Do n''t you think so?"
22652Do n''t you want to be friends, Jake?"
22652Do they give good milk?"
22652Do you call yourself a man?"
22652Do you know, Miss Eleanor was n''t a bit anxious to have us stay behind?
22652Do you mean they were waiting here for you?"
22652Do you remember how he found me with you girls the day after Zara and I ran away?
22652Do you see the fourth man standing with them?
22652Do you see the state boundaries?
22652Eh?"
22652Everything, do you hear?
22652Have n''t I always been willing to be your friend?
22652Have n''t you ever been to the seashore?"
22652Have you any place to go-- any home?"
22652He did n''t look very brave then, did he?"
22652Holmes?"
22652How about your old Farmer Weeks?"
22652How did you ever guess it?"
22652How long did it take me to wake you up this morning?
22652How long shall we stay, Miss Eleanor?"
22652How soon does that train go?"
22652How soon will you start?"
22652I do wonder what sort of a house they will put up?"
22652I say, do you remember where the spring is?
22652I suppose that''s your son?"
22652I suppose you do n''t like my making up with him, either, do you?"
22652Is it always that way?"
22652Is n''t that true?"
22652Is n''t the surf too heavy?"
22652Is there anything they can do to protect themselves-- before a fire starts, I mean?"
22652It does look as if they did n''t want to be seen, does n''t it?"
22652It would be better if he thought he had n''t been noticed at all, do n''t you think?"
22652It''s awfully gloomy, is n''t it, Bessie?"
22652It''s just like looking at a map, is n''t it?"
22652It''s lucky they were able to save their wagons and their horses, is n''t it?"
22652It''s possible, is n''t it, now?
22652Jamieson?"
22652Listen-- what''s that?"
22652May I pick out who''s to help me, Miss Eleanor?"
22652Nothing shy about them, was there, Bessie?"
22652Now you understand just what is to be done, do n''t you?
22652Perhaps you''ll let one of the children go along to show them the way?"
22652Plenty of them?
22652See?
22652Shall I speak to Miss Eleanor?
22652So the two cases are n''t the same a bit, are they?"
22652Suppose we are a little hungry before we get our dinner?
22652Tell me, there is n''t any station at Plum Beach, is there?"
22652Tell me, you''ve been selling all your milk and cream to the big creamery that supplies the milkmen in the city, have n''t you?"
22652That was nice of him, was n''t it?"
22652The Titanic?"
22652The''boss''they''re talking about must be Mr. Holmes, do n''t you think?"
22652They promised--""What are their promises worth, Jake?
22652They''ll be able to sell eggs, too, wo n''t they?"
22652Think we''d clean forgot you?
22652This is going to be like camping out, is n''t it?"
22652Want to borrow it?
22652Was that just an accident, or was it chosen that way on purpose?"
22652We thought we were n''t going to enjoy it here, but it has n''t been so bad, after all, has it?"
22652We understand, do n''t we, girls?"
22652We''re not likely to see them again, are we?"
22652We''ve got as much on Jeff as he''s got on us, if it comes down to that, ai n''t we?"
22652We''ve lost quite a little time already, have n''t we?"
22652What I say goes-- do you get that?
22652What are you-- picnickers?
22652What could he do?
22652What do you say, girls?
22652What else?"
22652What is he likely to do, do you think?"
22652What?"
22652Where is your well, or your spring for drinking water?
22652Who should be the ones to sleep in this fine new house the first night but you?
22652Why did you send that telegram to Miss Eleanor?
22652Why not call it Echo Farm?
22652Why not use the ice?"
22652Why should they?"
22652Why?
22652Would you like to wait, and press on until we come to a more cheerful spot, where the trees are n''t all burnt?"
22652You do n''t think he did, do you?"
22652You have cows, have n''t you?
22652You know what it''s like, Bessie, do n''t you?
22652You know, he must be an awful coward-- and yet, the way he goes after you, he takes a lot of chances, does n''t he?
22652You remember how Will Burns thrashed him?
22652You think he''s afraid of Mr. Holmes and those men, do n''t you?"
22652You wo n''t mind waiting a little for an explanation, will you?"
22652You would n''t have known yourself, would you, if Jake Hoover had n''t told you when you two were whispering together?"
22652You''ll go there, wo n''t you?"
22652You''re not too tired, are you?"
22652You''ve seen house raisings before?"
11664''Curse on him,''quote false Sextus,''will not the villain drown?''
11664''What noble Lucumo comes next to taste our Roman cheer?''
11664A nature which can work up such a passionate loyalty for an adopted country-- what must its feelings have been toward its own native land? 11664 A toothache, maybe?"
11664A what?
11664Agony Wing,she raged,"do you think for a moment that Veronica would have anything to do with enemy agents?
11664And do you remember the light man that came into_ your_ life, Hinpoha?
11664And these headaches generally occur at night?
11664And who''s going to work our''Quick Curtain''there?
11664Are Slim and the Captain coming?
11664Are n''t we going to have a Ceremonial Meeting tonight to take Agony and Oh- Pshaw into the Winnebagos? 11664 Are we getting initiated?"
11664Are we?
11664Are you acquainted with my girls?
11664Are you ready to be a Torch Bearer, too?
11664Are you sure you did n''t leave it at home?
11664Atterbury?
11664But Veronica, why did n''t you tell us before about this?
11664But Veronica,said Nyoda, both amused and perplexed,"is it possible to throw away a title like that?
11664But can you call her Many Eyes if she only has one eye?
11664But do you really think she took the letter?
11664But we''d be_ willing_ to die for America''s cause, would n''t we?
11664But what about the other man you said you saw in her fortune, the light- haired man who was going to turn dark after a while?
11664But what did you put the one eye on her for?
11664But what on earth was all that racket as we came up?
11664But what, if I might make so bold as to ask,said the Captain,"are_ you_ two doing here in the wet, wild woods, all by your wild lone?"
11664But why did n''t you put_ two_ eyes in her?
11664But why do you keep the goat if he is such a nuisance?
11664But you were not born in America?
11664But, Father,said Oh- Pshaw eagerly,"do n''t you really wish you_ could_ be there to see?
11664But,continued Agony,"do n''t you see?
11664Can I help you figure it out?
11664Come up to the house with me,said Mr. Wing presently,"and I''ll show you-- Hello, what''s this?"
11664Did I hear you say you could get to Oakwood on the electric?
11664Did n''t it strike you strange that she should have gone walking at that hour?
11664Did n''t you get my wire saying I was coming?
11664Did you ever see a real prince?
11664Did you ever see anything so quaint?
11664Did you really play before the king?
11664Did your uncle have a title?
11664Do n''t you mean''euphonious''?
11664Do what?
11664Do you believe she is?
11664Do you think I''ve gotten any thinner?
11664Do you think she''ll be_ interred_?
11664Do you want me to tell yours, Sahwah?
11664Do you wonder why I changed my name when I came to America and took the simple, sensible name of Lehar? 11664 Do_ you_ think he''s so wonderful?"
11664For goodness''sake, you are n''t going to enter that thing in the contest?
11664Goodness gracious, child, what do you think I am, an encyclopedia?
11664Gracious, Hinpoha, ca n''t you hold still a_ minute_?
11664Handkerchiefs-- did you get them in?
11664Has anyone heard from Veronica lately?
11664Have you a headache? 11664 How can you say such a thing?
11664How did Sherry, happen to be on the ocean?
11664How did we do to- day, Miss Raper?
11664How did you ever do it?
11664How did you happen to come?
11664How did_ he_ find it out?
11664How do you know it was the same one?
11664How does a moon rise, anyway?
11664How fast would a Primitive Woman go up and how many pounds would she pull?
11664How on earth did you happen to do that?
11664How so?
11664How''s the big case coming?
11664I mean a kite built like Many Eyes, our Primitive Woman symbol; would she fly high and pull a heavy tail?
11664I wonder how she feels about things?
11664Is Hinpoha there?
11664Is everybody home?
11664Is everybody ready?
11664Is he a great friend of Hinpoha''s, too?
11664Is n''t he-- dead?
11664Is n''t it queer the way things work out sometimes? 11664 Is that true?"
11664Is there anything left?
11664Is_ that_ loud enough, Nyoda?
11664It''s hard to believe----"_ Do you believe she''s a traitor_?
11664Lady-- what?
11664May I ask you also to say nothing about it?
11664May I use the telephone in the study?
11664Now, can a girl design a kite?
11664Now, where''s the Moon?
11664Nyoda,she burst out as soon as she was inside the door,"how fast would a Primitive Woman go up and how many pounds would she pull?"
11664Oh dear,said Migwan regretfully,"why did you say that about Harpies, Hinpoha, and make us laugh?
11664Oh, Mis''Elizabeth, you- all ai n''t goin''ter give dat goat away?
11664Oh, Sahwah, are you alone?
11664Oh, are n''t they the most fascinating things you ever saw?
11664Oh, dear, why ca n''t things like that happen now? 11664 Oh, may we?"
11664Oh, whatever did you take salt for?
11664RunNyoda?
11664Sahwah, dear,she said soberly, while the hurt animal look came back into her eyes,"you would n''t want me to tell you my secret, would you, dear?
11664Shall I dive in and find out?
11664Since when are you a boy?
11664So she often goes out walking at midnight, does she?
11664Strikes?
11664The other one was a German prince,said Veronica, and then laughingly added,"I do n''t suppose you care to hear about_ him_?"
11664Then is n''t_ your_ name Lehar either?
11664Then why ca n''t you get rid of him?
11664They ca n''t make me go back, can they?
11664To whom did you telephone from this study last night?
11664Towels, soap case, hairpins, buttonhook?
11664Was it the one your mother gave you, with her picture in?
11664Was n''t it a miracle that Sahwah happened to be in the woods when the plane came down?
11664Was she?
11664Was your grandfather a baron?
11664Well, if we''d be perfectly willing to die for_ our_ country''s cause, why would n''t Veronica be willing to die for_ hers_?
11664Well, what_ were_ they, then? 11664 Were there any more entries?"
11664What are you doing here?
11664What are you going to do with him?
11664What does''Forward_ Hunch_''mean?
11664What for?
11664What is he, a rhinocerous?
11664What is it, Mis''Elizabeth?
11664What is it, Nyoda?
11664What is it, a riddle?
11664What kind of a kite do you call that? 11664 What on earth do you suppose_ that_ is?"
11664What time is it?
11664What was it?
11664What was your title?
11664What were you chasing the chicken for?
11664What''ll Moon rise on?
11664What''s that noise?
11664What''s that?
11664What''s the idea?
11664What''s the matter with Veronica?
11664What''s the matter, are you cold?
11664What''s the matter?
11664What''s the matter?
11664What''s the matter?
11664What''s the matter?
11664What''s''at ol''goat bin a- doin'', honey?
11664What''s_ he_ got to do with it?
11664What?
11664What_ do_ you suppose will happen next?
11664Whatever can she want out there?
11664When you girls reached home after this party last night was Miss Lehar there?
11664Where are my gloves?
11664Where did you go when you left this house last night?
11664Where did you go, then?
11664Where have you been all this while?
11664Where have you been?
11664Where is Veronica?
11664Where is he, is he gone?
11664Where''ll we find one?
11664Where''s Oh- Pshaw?
11664Where''s Sahwah?
11664Where''s Veronica?
11664Where''s the flag I''m to hold up when it''s done?
11664Which one is it?
11664Who brought the flag along?
11664Who can be telegraphing at this time of night?
11664Who is the girl in the picture, Nyoda?
11664Who said_''Front? 11664 Who wants any lunch?
11664Who''s going to shoot him?
11664Who''s the nervy party with the chin whiskers that''s cabbaged Hinpoha?
11664Who''s there?
11664Who''s there?
11664Who?
11664Whom did you meet?
11664Why are you so quiet?
11664Why did n''t you tell us you were coming? 11664 Why did n''t you turn aside?"
11664Why did she come stealing in the back door that way?
11664Why do you ask?
11664Why not?
11664Wo n''t you stay to dinner? 11664 Would n''t it be dreadful if Veronica were to be interned?"
11664Would you like to go back to Hungary?
11664Would you like to see them?
11664Yes,replied Gladys,"and do you remember the time you predicted I was going to flunk math at midyears and I took the prize?"
11664You are a Hungarian, are you?
11664You belonged to the upper class, did n''t you?
11664You love the water better than anything else, do n''t you?
11664You thought she had gone home with a sick headache and was in bed?
11664You took that letter to somebody, did n''t you?
11664You would have stood up for your friend, no matter what the others said, would n''t you?
11664You''ll stay here in the house until I come back, wo n''t you, girls?
11664_ Anything_ broken?
11664_Do you know of anyone who would take him?"
11664--and signed by Prince Karl Augustus of Hohenburg?
11664Already the party seemed days in the past-- could it be that this was still the same night?
11664And what did you go and paint that one eye on there for and nothing else, and then enter her as_ Many Eyes_?"
11664Besides, who would ever take the trouble to look for me when our estates have been swept away by the Russians?
11664But I can paddle a canoe, standing on the gunwales-- could you do that?"
11664But does it take two to speed the fatal ball?
11664But now you really love me and wo n''t let it make any difference?"
11664But what was a letter addressed to such a person doing in the possession of the artist?
11664By the way, Slim, where is it now?"
11664CHAPTER XIV NEWS FROM THE FRONT"Does Mrs. Andrew Sheridan live here?"
11664CHAPTER XIX KAISER BILL MIXES IN"Is n''t it just too wonderful for anything?"
11664Ca n''t you come and spend your vacations with me, as many of you as have vacations?
11664Ca n''t you?
11664Could you do Trudgeon, and Australian Crawl?
11664Did you ever_ hear_ of anything so romantic as this, anyway?
11664Did you see that officer over there turn around and look when you laughed?
11664Did you think I was going in with my clothes on?
11664Do n''t you really ever have any regrets over it?"
11664Do n''t you see the water moving?
11664Do you realize what he''s done?
11664Do you remember, Gladys, the time I told you you were going to get a letter from a distance, and you got one from France the very next day?"
11664Do you think she''d fly high, Nyoda?"
11664Do you think she''d steal letters for him?"
11664Do you_ have_ to go back to Philadelphia?"
11664For, hang it all, if_ she_ did n''t, who under the shining sun did?"
11664Gettin''light- headed, was n''t you?
11664H- how did you get the m- man loose and up on shore?"
11664Had hearing played some bizarre trick on her?
11664Had she dreamed that about Veronica last night?
11664Had she really heard the telephone ring and Veronica answer it?
11664Have you got one, too?"
11664Horrible monsters?
11664How am I going to tell you apart?"
11664How came it in the possession of this strange aviator?
11664How can we have curtain calls without a curtain?
11664How do they know but what I perished, too?
11664How will they ever know that I am here in America when I go by the name of Lehar?
11664If you were born Lady Veronica Szathmar- Vasarhà © ly can you deliberately say you''wo n''t be it''?
11664Is n''t it wonderful?"
11664John?"
11664Kaiser Bill,"he remarked reproachfully,"ai n''t I done fetched you up no better''n_''at?
11664Mr. Carrington asked,''Why the umbrella?''
11664Mr. Wing''s curiosity concerning her was plainly written on his face, and finally he asked,"You are not an American, are you?"
11664Naturally all suspicion points to her, and how could Sanders do anything else but put her under arrest?
11664Now do you believe it?"
11664Oh, dear, why ca n''t things be as they were last year?"
11664Oh, dear, will I ever learn not to be so careless with my things?"
11664Oh, the poor, poor child, why did n''t she tell?"
11664Or could n''t you swim?
11664Shall I go and get it?"
11664She certainly would n''t feel bitter toward the Americans because the Russians burned their town and killed her father, would she?"
11664She went in to pull it back and while she was in the room he opened his eyes and said,''Is it really you?''
11664The ribbon had evidently come from the ship, but what was it doing here under the lining of Eugene Prince''s portfolio?
11664Then had come Nyoda''s letter: DEAREST WINNEBAGOS: Ca n''t you take pity on me and relieve my loneliness?
11664Then he asked,"Whom did you meet down there at the edge of town?"
11664Then she added,"How are you ever going to be a Torch Bearer if you ca n''t keep cool?"
11664They say they''ll only be beaten out by Hillsdale anyway, so what''s the use?
11664Twelve?
11664We would n''t divulge it for worlds, would we, Oh- Pshaw?"
11664What comes next?
11664What do you think of my father?"
11664What have you put in her tail?"
11664What on earth are you doing here?
11664What time was it, anyway, eleven?
11664Whatever would she want with such a thing as that?"
11664When did the Winnebagos ever let a challenge of their supremacy go unanswered?
11664Where are the Guns?
11664Where are you?"
11664Where had she gone on those excursions?
11664Where''s your baby?
11664Who has it?"
11664Who is More Trees?
11664Who shall dispute the will of the gods?
11664Who was Waldemar von Oldenbach?
11664Why did n''t she confide in them and satisfy their minds on this point?
11664Why should n''t Veronica steal out quietly and go for a walk if she wanted to?
11664Why was he carrying around a ship''s ribbon from an interned German vessel?
11664Why would he be coming to America now?"
11664You can just hear the teachers pronouncing it, ca n''t you?
11664You remember my writing to you about the Heavenly Twins, the Wings, the famous Flying Column of the class?
11664You''ll be careful, wo n''t you?"
11664You''ll get up a company of the girls here, wo n''t you?"
11664You_ are_ a lawyer, are n''t you?
11664_ Now_, will you say there is n''t any truth in fortunes?"
11664cried Sahwah savagely,"do_ you_ believe Veronica''s a traitor?"
11664exclaimed Agony reproachfully,"do you think for a minute we''d do military drill with these shoes on?"
11718A telegram for me?
11718And what then?
11718And_ expiravit_said Sahwah,"what''s that from?"
11718Any friends of yours on board?
11718Are they all good?
11718Betty,gasped Migwan, turning white,"you do n''t mean that you''ve burned them?"
11718Betty,said Migwan sternly,"did you hide my work?"
11718But how are we going to keep the one locked up away from the other?
11718But just suppose,he said slowly,"that there should n''t be any investigation when the oldest girl comes of age?
11718But what good will it do me to work for honors?
11718But you can beat her, ca n''t you?
11718But you do n''t care if I go to them at other girls''houses, do you?
11718By the way, Sahwah,she said when the laughter had died down,"how are you coming on in Latin?
11718By the way,said Nyoda, as she rose to depart,"how do you get to Bates Villa?"
11718Ca n''t I do something?
11718Ca n''t somebody please think of a new game?
11718Ca n''t you stay and spend the day with us, now that you''re here?
11718Ca n''t you take the punching bag over to Jim''s?
11718Camp Fire Girls?
11718Can it be possible,said Gladys,"that it was only this afternoon that we broke into our house?
11718Can this be real,asked Nyoda, looking around her in a daze,"or are we in the middle of some nightmare?
11718Could anything be lovelier than the country in May?
11718Could the authoress be persuaded to desist from her labors for a while?
11718Dick,she said,"will you come with me even if the others wo n''t?"
11718Did n''t your friends stay rather late?
11718Did she say you could n''t?
11718Did we come into the room through there, or did we only imagine it?
11718Did you ever see her around when there was any work to be done?
11718Did you ever see such a snowfall in March?
11718Did you know that John Brown, owner of the said body, was born in Akron, and there is a monument here to his memory?
11718Do I have to go to Aunt Grace''s?
11718Do n''t you want to go, Migwan?
11718Do owls eat crumbs?
11718Do you ever have visitors?
11718Do you know that they took their daughter out of the private school she had been attending and sent her to public school this year? 11718 Do you know,"said Nyoda,"that bead band Gladys made has given me an idea?
11718Do you know,she said,"I believe I could fill in that place with dark color so it would never be noticed?
11718Do you mean to tell me that you have an owl in a cage somewhere in this house?
11718Do you mind if I copy them from your list? 11718 Do you mind if you have one to- night?"
11718Do you really mean it?
11718Do you remember,said one of the mothers,"how we used to go coasting down the reservoir hill?
11718Do you suppose I had better break the pantry window,she asked,"or possibly one of the cellar ones?
11718Do you suppose she really is deaf?
11718Do you suppose you could finish this sweeping?
11718Do you think this is seasoned right?
11718Do you want to see me do it?
11718Does anybody know what two historical things are near here?
11718Does n''t the old Portage Trail run through here somewhere?
11718Five girls with red ties?
11718For vy did you want to amputate her leg off?
11718Gladys has n''t arrived there?
11718Gladys,she said,"do you know what kind of people they give dull knives to?
11718Had n''t it better be tied down?
11718Had n''t we better eat something?
11718Have n''t you heard,replied the second lady, with the air of imparting a delicious secret,"that Mr. Evans is on the verge of financial ruin?"
11718Have we a new electrician?
11718Have you anything against the Thessalonian Society?
11718Have you been in the house since the last people moved out?
11718Have you heard the latest?
11718Have you put your potatoes in yet?
11718How about our middy ties?
11718How could an owl get in here with all the doors and windows shut?
11718How did you do it?
11718How did you ever manage to do it?
11718How did you happen to leave anything in the electric room?
11718How did you know I had written any story?
11718How do you like the new cook?
11718How many more of these girls''mothers are our old schoolmates, I wonder?
11718How many would it take for a family of four?
11718How much are they a bushel?
11718How much is porterhouse steak?
11718How much is round steak?
11718How much time have you?
11718I do n''t suppose you could go for a long walk with me Sunday afternoon?
11718I presume the death of her parents was a terrible shock to her?
11718I wonder if there is anything in the house I could make into a dessert?
11718I wonder,she said musingly,"if I drove on to a house in the road and telephoned your aunt that she would let you stay?"
11718If I lent you five dollars to pay for the books, would you take it?
11718In whose house are we?
11718Is n''t he spooky looking?
11718Is n''t it pretty far?
11718Is she killed?
11718Is that you, Diamond Dick?
11718Is there any to be had now?
11718Is-- is there any way of making tough round steak tender?
11718Its what?
11718Let''s see, just how was it? 11718 Lion, Lion,"it called,"where are you?"
11718Missed the car?
11718Mother,called Migwan up the stairway,"where did you put the pages of my book?
11718No,said Mrs. Gardiner;"what good would that do?
11718No,said the second voice,"what is it?"
11718Not even to save yourself from being expelled?
11718Not on this one?
11718Now about this hip, yes?
11718Now, my dear,she said quietly,"will you please tell me the whole story?
11718Now, what''s the other thing?
11718Oh, is there any mistake?
11718Oh, may n''t I stay until half past nine?
11718Oh, mother,she called,"oh, moth-- why, what''s the matter?"
11718One, two,_ three_, four, Who are_ we_ for? 11718 Run down, will you, girls, and entertain them until I come?"
11718So much?
11718Sometime you and I vill go camping and you vill make someting like dis, mein Liebchen?
11718Speaking of diaries,said Gladys Evans,"what do you think of this for one?"
11718Surely we did n''t come through that little grating that opens on top, did we? 11718 The Bible and Thomas à   Kempis,"said Nyoda musingly;"where did I hear those two mentioned before?
11718Then have we dropped back into one of the novels of Dumas? 11718 There really is n''t any danger of your not getting it in, is there?"
11718They did n''t cut it off, did they?
11718Tom,she said appealingly,"would n''t you and the boys just as soon play outdoors or in somebody else''s house?
11718Well, are n''t you going to that precious meeting of yours?
11718Were n''t you worried to death to have them in Europe so long with the war going on?
11718What are you doing to pass the time away?
11718What are you doing?
11718What are you planning for supper?
11718What are you so happy about?
11718What are you taking medicine for?
11718What can all these things be?
11718What can that mean? 11718 What car do you take, Dick?"
11718What did you say about the_ Francona_?
11718What did you want with it?
11718What do you mean?
11718What does it mean?
11718What does this mean?
11718What has that to do with it?
11718What is Mr. Bob barking at?
11718What is going to happen?
11718What is it?
11718What is it?
11718What is it?
11718What is it?
11718What is the meaning of this?
11718What is this dress?
11718What is this mysterious something you are always doing?
11718What kind is it?
11718What kind is that?
11718What kind of a bat was it?
11718What kind of meat is this?
11718What of that?
11718What on earth could have happened?
11718What was it?
11718What were you doing in there in the first place?
11718What will the girls think, anyway, when we fail to arrive at the Bates''s?
11718What will we feed him?
11718What will your aunt say when she sees him?
11718What''s that?
11718What''s the matter?
11718What''s this?
11718What''s this?
11718Whatever have you done with yourself?
11718Whatever is the matter?
11718When are your mother and father coming home?
11718When will you do it?
11718Where are you going?
11718Where did you get that poem?
11718Where did you get them?
11718Where did you learn to do that?
11718Where did you put the red ties?
11718Where is that beautiful vase I brought your mother from the World''s Fair?
11718Where?
11718Who is that young girl in here?
11718Who is the best Latin scholar here?
11718Who put on de tourniquet?
11718Who stands without?
11718Who taught you to take strychnine as a stimulant?
11718Who the dickens are you?
11718Who''s the Dutchman that''s doing the bossing?
11718Who''s your friend?
11718Who''s your friend?
11718Whom have you brought us, John?
11718Whose house is it, then?
11718Why ca n''t Betty do it?
11718Why did you try to steal, Emily?
11718Why have we never had any of this at our house?
11718Why not tie the bob to the machine,she said,"and go for a regular ride?"
11718Why not?
11718Why were n''t you?
11718Will she go in?
11718Will you take us in if we get off the car?
11718Will you?
11718Wo n''t she really?
11718Would n''t it be a joke,said Gladys,"if we were to get there ahead of the others, after missing the car?
11718Would n''t this be a grand place for a Ceremonial Meeting?
11718Would n''t you like to have me read you something else before we begin the next volume?
11718Would you just as soon run up to the attic and get the blanket sheets out of the trunk?
11718Would you like to drive, mother?
11718Would you really be willing to have me cut it up?
11718Yes?
11718You admit, then, that you were in the electric room twice on Thursday afternoon, doing something which you can not explain?
11718You are coming home with me, as we planned, until it is time to take the car?
11718You are going away and leave me?
11718You are n''t going to lose your nerve at this stage of the game, are you? 11718 You certainly do n''t think I cut those wires, do you?"
11718You do n''t mean to tell me that you are mixed up in any such foolishness as that?
11718You like to study History pretty well, do n''t you?
11718You mean, cut her leg off?
11718You remember John Rogers?
11718You remember that cunning little book you made me for Christmas?
11718You were not at the play yourself, were you?
11718You''ll surely go coasting to- morrow night?
11718_ Quis,_ who;_ crudis_, raw;_ enim_--what''s_ enim_?
11718_ Rufus_ is''red,''continued Sahwah,"and is_ albus_''white''?"
11718And was it any wonder?
11718And you wo n''t say anything about the picture,"she said, clasping her hands beseechingly,"if I put it back where I got it?"
11718Are we kidnapped?
11718Brewster, yes?
11718But vot is dis I hear about operating?"
11718By the way,"she said to Aunt Phoebe,"may I borrow this girl for to- day?
11718Ca n''t you come out next Saturday?"
11718Can this be the year 1915?
11718Did I ever tell you the time mother and I coasted down the walk and ran into Aunt Phoebe?"
11718Do you suppose we are being held for ransom?"
11718Do you suppose you could come along?"
11718Gladys,"she called, looking into her daughter''s room,"where is your Camp Fire meeting to- night?"
11718Have we-- have we-- disappeared?"
11718He was Professor of Anatomy in the_ Staatsklinick_''95-''96, do n''t you remember?"
11718How did we get here, anyway?"
11718How had the bird gotten out?
11718How long do you suppose they will keep us here?"
11718I may keep him until his wing heals, may n''t I?"
11718In the future people would say,"The Winnebagos?
11718It is absurd of course to accuse you of cutting those wires, but what were you doing in that room?
11718It looks pretty suspicious, does n''t it?"
11718It was,"How would you like to be the odd one in the crowd, and have all the others take notice of you because you did n''t match your surroundings?
11718Like the roar of the waves of the sea rose the yell of the Washingtonians:"Who tied the score when the score was rolling?
11718Oh, yes, it was one of your number who won the basketball championship for the school by making a record jump for the ball, was n''t it?"
11718Sahwah knew that her failure to come from school would call out a search, but who would ever look for her in the statue on the stage?
11718Send Gladys away?
11718Suppose she should never put in a claim for her property?"
11718The Big Chief, who was conducting the lesson, thought she wanted something, and said benevolently:''What is your desire?''
11718The Perfect Tense with''Avoir''With the Subject must agree( Or does this rule apply to the Auxiliary''to be''?)."
11718The question was in the Ancient History group and read, in part,"Who was the invader of Israel before Sennacherib?"
11718Then she burst out,"Oh, Dick, wo n''t you take us coasting to- morrow night?
11718Then who had cut the wires?
11718To face a battery of eyes that were amused or scornful or pitying, according to the disposition of the owner of the eyes?
11718To feel lonesome in the midst of a crowd and wish you were miles away?"
11718WHO CUT THE WIRE?
11718Was there ever such a fool as I?"
11718Was this a girl she was trying to guard, or was it an eel?
11718Well, I thought, why ca n''t we make a furnished room of that?
11718What business had Joe Lanning on the stage at this time?
11718What do you say if we register our commendable doings in colors, but record the event in black every time we break the Law?"
11718What do you think of her?"
11718What on earth are we into?"
11718What was Aunt Phoebe to do?
11718What was Nyoda thinking of her, anyhow?
11718What was this strange Something that the Camp Fire had instilled into her?
11718What would they do about the play?
11718Where can Mrs. Bates be, I wonder?"
11718Where can she be?"
11718Where did she learn how to do it?"
11718Who do you suppose has come?"
11718Who tied the score when the score was rolling?
11718Who told you so?"
11718Why ca n''t we keep a personal record in bead work?
11718Why did she come dressed in such a fashion?
11718Why is it that a knife in one''s hand inspires a desire to cut something?
11718Why not burn all her sheets around the edges?
11718Will you kindly state what you did in there?"
11718Wo n''t mother be glad when she finds it broken and she can prove that none of us did it?"
11718Wo n''t they laugh, though, at you being the late one?"
11718Would n''t they stare, though, to find us waiting for them?
11718Would she be willing to do it?
11718Would she go down head first or feet first?
11718Would she not send the first payment of five dollars by return mail so that his enjoyment might begin as soon as possible?
11718Would she see two and a half dollars lying in the street and not pick it up?
11718Would you be willing to do it?"
11718You have had all three of those subjects, have you not?"
11718You know that big unfinished space over the kitchen?
11718You remember that Professor Parsons who lectured to the school on various historical subjects last winter?
11718You say they have no relatives and are now away in school?
11718You would hardly look for a girl to be cutting electric wires, would you?
11718_ But was it the right one?
11718echoed Mrs. Evans in well- feigned astonishment;"why, what''s wrong with them?"
11718said Nyoda;"will you give me a copy?"
20822Am I? 20822 And all the farm grew from that?"
20822And is it a through train-- an express?
20822And it will be splendid, wo nt it, girls? 20822 Are they coming back here this summer?"
20822Are you Bessie King?
20822Bessie, do you know what I think?
20822But it is a lovely spot, and it''s public land along here, is n''t it?
20822But there was a frightful wreck not so very long ago, was n''t there? 20822 But they ought to do it for themselves, you mean?"
20822But what can they do?
20822But will he tell? 20822 But would n''t she have told me so, Dolly?"
20822Ca n''t we go away from here to- night, Miss Eleanor?
20822Could n''t divers go down after her?
20822Did n''t his father ever see what a worthless scamp he was?
20822Did n''t you feel pretty bad when you heard Gladys and Marcia were lost in the woods last night? 20822 Did they get aboard your train?"
20822Did they look in that car?
20822Did they?
20822Did you know that? 20822 Do many people come through here, Miss Eleanor?"
20822Do n''t you think Marcia would enjoy that?
20822Do you believe those stories, Dolly?
20822Do you know what I''ve noticed most, Bessie, about the way he''s gone to work?
20822Do you mean you would n''t stay here if they did, Miss Eleanor?
20822Do you mean you''d be willing-- that you''d be friends with me, after all the mean things I''ve done to you?
20822Do you really think we can get a new start here?
20822Do you think he will?
20822Do you think they''d do that, Bessie? 20822 Does your father enjoy farming?"
20822Dolly, ca n''t you see the point yet for yourself? 20822 Got any money?"
20822Have you a husband? 20822 Have you a time- table?
20822He tried to help to get Zara back to that Farmer Weeks who would have been her guardian if she had n''t come to join the Camp Fire, did n''t he?
20822He would n''t, and how''s he goin''to find out, anyhow? 20822 How about the morning, Jeff?"
20822How be you, Mis''Pratt? 20822 How can I help it?"
20822How can you think we''d do that?
20822How did you manage to hide Zara?
20822How do you know they did n''t, Bessie? 20822 How do you mean?
20822How do you suppose he has managed to be away from home so much, Bessie?
20822How in tarnation did you come to git off that there train, hey?
20822How is that, Dolly? 20822 How long will that take?"
20822How on earth could you get all the lumber you need ready so quickly? 20822 How-- how in time did you ever find that out?"
20822I do n''t see how they could possibly have been saved, do you, Miss Eleanor?
20822I hope you did n''t sell the fish and clams you promised us to someone else?
20822I just could n''t bear to take charity--"Charity? 20822 I knew you would n''t keep on hating us when you knew us better-- and you''ll forgive me, wo n''t you, for playing that horrid trick with the mice?"
20822I suppose we''ll be able to get you to take us out in the launch sometimes while we''re here?
20822I suppose what happened to Gladys last night was one of the things you were talking about when you wanted us to be patient, was n''t it?
20822I suppose you thought you''d come to the end of the burned part?
20822I wonder if they''ll come back this way, toward the camp? 20822 I wonder why the fire should spare some places and not others?"
20822I''ll have to go back and work for Farmer Weeks, and you-- will they make you go back to Maw Hoover?
20822If I send a telegram right now, can it be delivered to Miss Mercer, on that train that just went out, before she gets to Canton?
20822If you''re going on that half past nine boat we''ll go back now, and let you pack, unless we can help you?
20822Is everything ready? 20822 Is it a regular hotel?"
20822Is n''t it fine that we''ve got those blankets?
20822Is that so?
20822Is there any fishing?
20822Is there driftwood here for a camp fire, do you suppose, the way there was last year, Miss Eleanor?
20822Is this your house?
20822It did n''t look so bad from our side of the lake, though, did it?
20822It does n''t seem to be so with these men, though, does it? 20822 It would have been dreadful, would n''t it, Bessie?
20822It''s a good thing we came up this way, is n''t it?
20822It''s a lucky thing there were n''t any houses along here, is n''t it?
20822It''s that we ought not to be glad when people are in trouble, even if they are mean to us, is n''t it? 20822 Listen here-- who''s giving orders here?
20822Look here, Dolly, is n''t there another train to Plum Beach? 20822 Money?
20822Mrs. Pratt, how far is it to a part of the woods that was n''t burned? 20822 Nothing?"
20822Now, ai n''t there somethin''Ann an''I can do to help?
20822Now, look here, Jake, what have you done that makes you so afraid of Mr. Holmes and these other wicked men?
20822Of course, it would be all right in this weather, but do you think it will stay like this very long?
20822Oh, and now they send those things in the big ships that are safer, I suppose?
20822Oh, and this is the lumber for his house?
20822Oh, ca n''t we stop and see that?
20822Oh, how could he, Dolly? 20822 Oh, whatever kept you so long?"
20822Oh,said Mrs. Pratt,"have you really got to go?
20822Say, Tim, do n''t think much of this game, do you?
20822See here, my buck, the boss do n''t want any slip- up on this job-- see? 20822 Shall we row you ashore, ma''am, or do you want to see the rest of the fun on board?"
20822Supper?
20822Suppose she just kept the money, and pretended she never got it at all, Bessie? 20822 Tell me what you found out, ca n''t you?
20822Tell me, Mrs. Pratt-- you are still fond of this place, are n''t you?
20822That looks as if they did n''t mean to do anything to- night, does n''t it, Dolly?
20822That will be good fun, wo n''t it? 20822 That''s very strange, is n''t it?"
20822That''s why it''s the symbol of the Camp Fire, is n''t it?
20822The Worcesters? 20822 The boss, though-- suppose Jeff told him?"
20822The train does n''t stop at any place that is n''t marked down for it on the time- table, does it?
20822Then they have a real meaning, have n''t they?
20822Then what''s the use of still being angry at them? 20822 Then you sold the milk, I suppose?"
20822Then you used to like to read?
20822There certainly is, Bessie; but how can we wait for it? 20822 They''re pretty careful about the way they walk-- see?"
20822Think it''s safe?
20822This is more fun than one of our silly adventures, is n''t it, Dolly? 20822 This is n''t much of a city, is it?"
20822Turning preacher, Dolly?
20822Until you two girls are twenty- one?
20822Was n''t that lucky?
20822We''ll do as you say, all right, all right, but ca n''t you tell a guy what''s doin''?
20822Well, Mr. Holmes is trying to get hold of you, too, is n''t he?
20822Well, are n''t you still glad of it, Dolly? 20822 Well, do n''t you think she just made a mistake, and then was afraid to admit it, and try to make up for it?
20822Well, do you see what they were up to, now, Dolly?
20822Well, he lets people come here to camp, does n''t he?
20822Well, is n''t that a good idea? 20822 Well, it looks like it, does n''t it?"
20822Well, then, if that''s true, why should n''t it be true if someone does something hateful to me? 20822 Well, was n''t I right?
20822What can people like you do to help us?
20822What do you mean, Dolly?
20822What do you suppose started this fire, Miss Eleanor?
20822What do you suppose they''ll try to do now?
20822What has she got to forgive? 20822 What is that there, ahead of us, in the road?"
20822What time are we going to start, Miss Eleanor?
20822What''s that, Miss Mercer?
20822What''s that?
20822What''s the game, Jeff?
20822What''s the matter with you, Bessie?
20822What''s wrong here?
20822What''s wrong, Larry; do you know?
20822What, for instance?
20822What?
20822Whatever are they doing here?
20822Whatever does this mean, Bessie? 20822 When you make butter you salt it and keep it to use here, do n''t you?"
20822Where are you going?
20822Who cares?
20822Who is your''boss''?
20822Who wants a drink? 20822 Why are you looking at your map and your time- table so carefully, Bessie?"
20822Why are you''afraid''?
20822Why not pull it off to- night, Jeff?
20822Why not? 20822 Why not?
20822Why should I? 20822 Why should n''t we make a sort of floor for the lean- to?
20822Why, Bessie, you say you may like it better when you see it? 20822 Why, however did you manage to get all those orders?"
20822Why, should we want to call you?
20822Why, they''ll be like the Indian lean- tos I''ve read about, wo n''t they?
20822Why, what''s the matter, Bessie?
20822Why, what''s this?
20822Why, where''s Gladys Cooper?
20822Why, you do n''t think anyone could see you in so much trouble and not stop to try to help you, do you?
20822Will you go of your own accord, then?
20822Wo n''t you teach us some of them? 20822 Wo n''t you tell us, Miss Eleanor?"
20822You ai n''t a- goin''to stay here and watch them, are you?
20822You ca n''t swim much in the sea, can you? 20822 You mean it will be a place where the Pratts can sleep?"
20822You mean she has n''t forgiven us?
20822You mean you''re going to put up a square house?
20822You say the fire stopped you from going ahead with his house?
20822You were always good friends with Gladys until you met her up here, were n''t you?
20822Your train came right through, did n''t it?
20822A later one, that would get us there an hour or so after the other girls, if they go on this one?"
20822Ai n''t I, boys?"
20822And do you know why?
20822And how many times have you nearly missed breakfast by going back to bed after you''d pretended to get up?"
20822And it makes you think of how much hard luck people have, and how easy it would be for people who are better off to help them, does n''t it?"
20822And we''ll show who''s afraid-- eh, old sport?"
20822And we''ve had a good time, have n''t we?"
20822And what was in it?"
20822And what''s that-- just the nails I want?
20822And why do you suppose they''re acting that way?
20822Are you and Bessie going for a walk, Dolly?"
20822But I do n''t see why--""Why they should pick out Canton rather than any other station where the trains stop along the line?"
20822But I wonder what he thinks we''d do to him, even if we did see him?"
20822But if those girls in the camp next door had had their way, we would n''t have had a single pleasant thing to remember about staying here, would we?"
20822But it does look kind of nice, do n''t it?"
20822But it was n''t our fault, and it really is a good thing we heard them, is n''t it?
20822But of course I had to jump in to help my neighbors-- wouldn''t be much profit about having the only house left standing in town, would there?"
20822But you have a lot of fun and good times, too, do n''t you?"
20822But, even if they had, what could they do?
20822CHAPTER IX A STARTLING DISCOVERY"Bessie, why are you looking so glum?"
20822Ca n''t you see where she goes wrong, Bessie?"
20822Come on, Bessie-- feel like taking a little walk with me?"
20822Could anything be better fun than doing good this way?
20822Could n''t I bring her to one some time?"
20822Did I ever tell on you when you''d done anything wrong, and your father would have licked you?"
20822Did n''t I forgive you for all the mean things you did, and help you every way I could?
20822Did n''t I tell you on deck that there''s no such party aboard, and that I never even heard of him?
20822Did n''t Maw Hoover get most of the letters on the farm?"
20822Did n''t you think, from the way they talked, that they would do anything if they thought they would get well paid for it?"
20822Do n''t you know that these men would sacrifice you and throw you over in a minute if they thought they could n''t get anything more out of you?
20822Do n''t you love this place?"
20822Do n''t you recognize Jud Harkness driving the first team there?"
20822Do n''t you suppose Mr. Holmes must be coming on board that yacht, Miss Eleanor?"
20822Do n''t you suppose they try?"
20822Do n''t you think she''s a little softer already?"
20822Do n''t you think so too, Miss Eleanor?"
20822Do n''t you think so?"
20822Do n''t you want to be friends, Jake?"
20822Do you call yourself a man?"
20822Do you know, Miss Eleanor was n''t a bit anxious to have us stay behind?
20822Do you mean they were waiting here for you?"
20822Do you remember how he found me with you girls the day after Zara and I ran away?
20822Do you see the fourth man standing with them?
20822Do you see the state boundaries?
20822Eh?"
20822Everything, do you hear?
20822Have n''t I always been willing to be your friend?
20822Have n''t you ever been to the seashore?"
20822Have you any place to go-- any home?"
20822He did n''t look very brave then, did he?"
20822Holmes?"
20822How about your old Farmer Weeks?"
20822How did you ever guess it?"
20822How long did it take me to wake you up this morning?
20822How soon does that train go?"
20822How soon will you start?"
20822I do wonder what sort of a house they will put up?"
20822I say, do you remember where the spring is?
20822I suppose that''s your son?"
20822I suppose you do n''t like my making up with him, either, do you?"
20822Is it always that way?"
20822Is n''t that true?"
20822Is n''t the surf too heavy?"
20822Is there anything they can do to protect themselves-- before a fire starts, I mean?"
20822It would be better if he thought he had n''t been noticed at all, do n''t you think?"
20822It''s awfully gloomy, is n''t it, Bessie?"
20822It''s just like looking at a map, is n''t it?"
20822It''s possible, is n''t it, now?
20822Jamieson?"
20822Listen-- what''s that?"
20822May I pick out who''s to help me, Miss Eleanor?"
20822Nothing shy about them, was there, Bessie?"
20822Now you understand just what is to be done, do n''t you?
20822Perhaps you''ll let one of the children go along to show them the way?"
20822Plenty of them?
20822See?
20822Shall I speak to Miss Eleanor?
20822So the two cases are n''t the same a bit, are they?"
20822Suppose we are a little hungry before we get our dinner?
20822Tell me, there is n''t any station at Plum Beach, is there?"
20822Tell me, you''ve been selling all your milk and cream to the big creamery that supplies the milkmen in the city, have n''t you?"
20822That was nice of him, was n''t it?"
20822The Titanic?"
20822They promised--""What are their promises worth, Jake?
20822Think we''d clean forgot you?
20822This is going to be like camping out, is n''t it?"
20822Want to borrow it?
20822Was that just an accident, or was it chosen that way on purpose?"
20822We thought we were n''t going to enjoy it here, but it has n''t been so bad, after all, has it?"
20822We understand, do n''t we, girls?"
20822We''re not likely to see them again, are we?"
20822We''ve got as much on Jeff as he''s got on us, if it comes down to that, ai n''t we?"
20822We''ve lost quite a little time already, have n''t we?"
20822What I say goes-- do you get that?
20822What are you-- picnickers?
20822What could he do?
20822What do you say, girls?
20822What else?"
20822What is he likely to do, do you think?"
20822What?"
20822Where is your well, or your spring for drinking water?
20822Who should be the ones to sleep in this fine new house the first night but you?
20822Why did you send that telegram to Miss Eleanor?
20822Why not call it Echo Farm?
20822Why not use the ice?"
20822Why should they?"
20822Why?
20822You do n''t think he did, do you?"
20822You know what it''s like, Bessie, do n''t you?
20822You know, he must be an awful coward-- and yet, the way he goes after you, he takes a lot of chances, does n''t he?
20822You remember how Will Burns thrashed him?
20822You think he''s afraid of Mr. Holmes and those men, do n''t you?"
20822You wo n''t mind waiting a little for an explanation, will you?"
20822You would n''t have known yourself, would you, if Jake Hoover had n''t told you when you two were whispering together?"
20822You''ll go there, wo n''t you?"
20822You''re not too tired, are you?"
20822You''ve seen house raisings before?"
10688''O better that her shattered hulk should sink beneath the wave,''eh?
10688A week? 10688 All ready now?"
10688All snake holes?
10688And Agony,begged Bengal,"may I have a lock of your hair to keep?"
10688And what about Carmen?
10688And who got it last year?
10688Are all assembled?
10688Are n''t there going to be any who live to grow old? 10688 Are n''t you afraid to touch it?"
10688Are n''t you glad we did n''t stay here?
10688Are we supposed to get into our bloomers right away?
10688Are you our neighbor from Avernus? 10688 Are you really willing to divide your bloomers?
10688Are you sick? 10688 At half past six in the evening?
10688Beh- hold, it is I; w- who else could it be?
10688Behold, it is I; who else_ could_ it be?
10688Bengal Virden in the same tent with Claudia Peckham? 10688 Bengal?"
10688But what are we going to do about it?
10688But where was Bagdad?
10688But, my dear, why did n''t you wait and let your father drive you down in the morning?
10688Ca n''t we do something?
10688Can I go with only one stocking on?
10688Carmen, did n''t it ever occur to you that Jane was making fun of you when she said she would bring blankets for two? 10688 Come, Migwan, are you going to day- dream here forever?
10688Could n''t they?
10688Could n''t we put two of us together?
10688Could n''t we sing a bit for her?
10688Did I look glum? 10688 Did I scare you, girls?"
10688Did anything ever smell so good?
10688Did n''t you bring any blankets at all?
10688Did n''t you go in?
10688Did somebody get Tiny Armstrong''s red striped stockings?
10688Did you ever see anything so funny as that coral snake business of hers?
10688Did you have a good night''s sleep?
10688Did you know,confided Bengal, with a fresh burst of giggles,"that Pecky shaves?"
10688Did you see her demonstrating the Australian Crawl yesterday in swimming hour? 10688 Did you see that girl who came running into the dining- room this morning with her middy halfway over her head?"
10688Do n''t you just_ adore_ her?
10688Do n''t you know that snakes climb trees?
10688Do n''t you think I can?
10688Do n''t you think it does?
10688Do n''t you think it''s unladylike to have your muscles all hard and developed?
10688Do new girls ever win the Buffalo Robe?
10688Do you live in the Avenue or the Alley?
10688Do you live in the east or in the west?
10688Do you really mean that there are girls here from Australia and India?
10688Do you suppose he will speak to me?
10688Do you suppose they''re going to throw us into the river?
10688Do you think we''ll have to sit here all night?
10688Do you want to ruin our stunt for us? 10688 Does n''t he look pathetic, with his little paws held out that way?"
10688Does n''t it look civilized, though, after what we''ve just experienced? 10688 Edwin Langham?"
10688For goodness''sake, are you going to preach all night? 10688 Good morning, Agony, whither bound so early, and what means that portentous frown?"
10688Goodness, who was she?
10688Had n''t I better help you paddle?
10688Had n''t you better throw it out and get some fresh? 10688 Have you noticed that there is something queer about Agony lately?"
10688Have you seen the hippopotamus over there in the bow? 10688 Have you taken any notes yet?"
10688How about Sacajawea, I''d like to know?
10688How can you bear to touch such a thing?
10688How can you tell a poisonous toadstool from a harmless one?
10688How could you do it?
10688How did it happen?
10688How did you ever make a fire at all?
10688How did you happen to fall into that ravine?
10688How do the other two get along with her?
10688How does it come that I have never met you before, Miss Peckham? 10688 How long have you been spying upon my movements, Miss Virtue?"
10688How long is he going to stay?
10688How soon are you going?
10688How soon can you arrange to go?
10688I suppose you swim?
10688I wonder what that house is for?
10688I wonder what the special announcement is tonight?
10688I''m all in a position to do it-- see?
10688Is everybody gone on a trip?
10688Is he going along with us on the canoe trip?
10688Is it a bird?
10688Is n''t Miss Peckham a prune?
10688Is n''t it be- yoo- tiful?
10688Is n''t she lovely?
10688Is n''t she lovely?
10688Is n''t she stunning in that coral silk sweater?
10688Is n''t she wonderful?
10688Is n''t there some other place where we can camp, Jo,asked Migwan,"and let these blossoms live?
10688Is that someone calling to us?
10688Is that the only kind of women you admire?
10688Jane,said Agony seriously,"if I promise not to tell Mrs. Grayson this time will you promise never to do this sort of thing again?
10688Jo?
10688Katherine,said Miss Judy feelingly,"_ vous et moi_ we speak the same language,_ n''est- ce pas_?"
10688Let me take your knife, will you please, Agony?
10688Like?
10688Meaning?
10688Must you go so soon?
10688No clothes?
10688Not really?
10688Now what?
10688O Jane,cried Agony,"you have n''t been over at that boys''camp, have you?
10688O Miss Judy,they called to her,"what''s happened?"
10688Oh, Agony, do n''t you understand? 10688 Oh, Miss Judy, please, please, ca n''t we live in the Alley?"
10688Oh, are you a Camp Fire girl?
10688Oh, do you know_ The Desert Garden_?
10688Oh, please, Tiny, may I do this one dive?
10688Oh, what are they?
10688Oh, what_ is_ it?
10688Oh, where is my other stocking?
10688Oh,she said,"did you hear it?"
10688Please, wo n''t you, Bengal dear?
10688Serenade her, I mean; just a few of us who are used to singing together?
10688Shall you go to Japan too, if your father goes?
10688That''s easy,laughed Migwan,"Who but Pocahontas?"
10688That''s way up near the bungalow, is n''t it?
10688The Jamaica ginger,asked Carmen''s thin voice in a bewildered tone,"what shall I do with it?
10688The view is exquisite here,_ n''est- ce pas_? 10688 Then why did you tell Carmen you would sleep with her?"
10688Then you deliberately deceived her?
10688Then, what will you do when you land, Sahwah?
10688This is Topsy- Turvy Day, do n''t you remember? 10688 Wants who to go on a canoe trip with her?"
10688Was n''t this the wildest evening we ever put in?
10688Was your suitcase on it?
10688Was''Pocahantas''just a nickname?
10688Well, and what if I did?
10688Well, what do you expect me to do about it?
10688Well, what if I did?
10688Well, what if I have?
10688Well, what of it?
10688Were n''t you horribly scared?
10688What are they blowing the bugle in the middle of the night for?
10688What are we going to do?
10688What business is it of yours, anyway?
10688What can be the matter?
10688What do they mean by living''in the Alley''?
10688What do you mean?
10688What do you think of_ her_?
10688What is he like?
10688What is her name?
10688What is it now?
10688What is it?
10688What is it?
10688What is it?
10688What is it?
10688What is it?
10688What is it?
10688What is that?
10688What is the Buffalo Robe, please?
10688What is the book?
10688What is the matter? 10688 What kind of a costume do I wear?"
10688What nationality was Sinbad, anyhow?
10688What on earth?
10688What was it?
10688What was that?
10688What''s happened?
10688What''s that loud cheeping noise?
10688What''s that?
10688What''s the excitement?
10688What''s the mater, Agony, have you a headache again?
10688What''s the matter with everybody?
10688What''s the matter with her?
10688What''s the matter with the rest of the folks in Avernus-- can''t they make beds either?
10688What''s the matter, Monty, is your load too heavy for you?
10688What''s the matter, Tiny?
10688What''s the matter, ca n''t you make your bed?
10688What''s the matter?
10688What''s the matter?
10688What''s the matter?
10688What''s the matter?
10688What''s the matter?
10688What''s the matter?
10688What''s the matter?
10688What''s the use of rushing so, anyway?
10688Whatever can this be?
10688When is he coming?
10688When is he coming?
10688Where are we to be?
10688Where is Miss Amesbury?
10688Where is my middy?
10688Where on earth have you been? 10688 Where''s Jane Pratt?"
10688Where''s Tiny?
10688Where''s my flashlight, Katherine?
10688Which tent?
10688Who am I to talk of a''nice sense of honor''to Bengal Virden?
10688Who is Mary Sylvester?
10688Who is Pom- pom?
10688Who is it?
10688Who is my girl, and what is her nickname?
10688Who is n''t here yet?
10688Who is the girl sitting third from the end on this side?
10688Who was it?
10688Who wrote it?
10688Who''s going to make them?
10688Who''s gone south with my shoes?
10688Who''s your councilor?
10688Who?
10688Whoever heard of a snake climbing a tree?
10688Why are n''t you in bed with the rest of the infants?
10688Why are you tying up your ponchos that way? 10688 Why did n''t we think of that before?
10688Why did you come in that way?
10688Why did you put your bathing suit on when you did n''t have any intention of going into the water?
10688Why do n''t you share your own blankets with her, if you''re so concerned about her?
10688Why not capsize some distance out in the water and swim ashore?
10688Why not?
10688Why so pensive?
10688Why, what does she do?
10688Will she really send you home?
10688Will somebody please show me how to make a bed?
10688Will somebody please tell me where my middy is?
10688Will someone tell_ me_ where the other leg of my bloomers is?
10688Will you be my sleeping partner for the first overnight trip that we take?
10688Will you do it for me if you wo n''t do it for Miss Peckham?
10688Will your father think I''m dreadfully silly?
10688Wo n''t she suspect what we''re going to do if I borrow them?
10688Would you like to get in a canoe with some of the girls?
10688Yes, where are you?
10688Yes?
10688You know a great deal about the woods, do n''t you?
10688You were to arrive by automobile at Green''s Landing this noon, were you not, and come across the river in the mail boat? 10688 Your what?"
10688_ The Lost Chord_? 10688 *****Why, where is everybody?"
10688After all, why not let them think that?
10688All from picked families, eh?
10688And have you some Jamaica ginger?
10688And the flower that was so determined to blossom that it grew in the desert and bloomed there?"
10688And the tent is still standing?"
10688Are n''t you going to get up to see the Stunts?"
10688Are the other girls on already?"
10688Are you coming?"
10688Are you our Councilor?"
10688Are you sick?"
10688Assuming a timid, shrinking demeanor, and speaking in a high, shrill voice, she piped,"Mother, may I go out to swim?"
10688But the old chief says sadly,''Why will you be such a tomboy, my child?''"
10688By the way, how is she getting on?
10688By the way, what are_ you_ doing here?"
10688By the way, where_ is_ Gladys?
10688CHAPTER V ON THE ROAD FROM ATLANTIS"Would you like to come along?"
10688CHAPTER X TOPSY- TURVY DAY"Why, where_ is_ camp?"
10688CHAPTER XII THE STUNT''S THE THING"Where would a shipwreck look best, right by the dock, or farther up the shore?"
10688Ca n''t you fix it so that I can be in your tent this year?"
10688Can it be possible that it is only a mass of dead chalk and not a ball of burnished silver?
10688Can it be that you are really his cousin?
10688Could she give it up-- could she bear to see their admiration turn to scorn?
10688Could she still take the story back, she wondered, and tell it as it really had been?
10688Did she have a withering touch now?
10688Do n''t you feel that way about it, too?"
10688Do n''t you feel that way, Agony?"
10688Do n''t you know that it''s terribly bad taste to make fun of people''s personal blemishes?"
10688Do you like it?
10688Do you mind if I break up the camp color scheme for one day?"
10688Do you want anything?"
10688Had the Lone Wolf also heard them talking about her?
10688Have you read_ The Silent Years_?"
10688How could she ever humble herself before Jane Pratt and witness Jane''s keen relish of her downfall?
10688How did you ever manage to think of it, Migs?"
10688How do you get such a''nice sense of honor''as you have?
10688How do you suppose he ever got in?"
10688I know one of you must be Agony, I recognize her alto, but who are the rest of you?
10688I suppose she was born in Bengal?"
10688Is it a contraction of Sarah Ann?"
10688Is it not so?"
10688It''s about six miles to Atlantis-- would you care to walk that far?
10688Katherine, you wo n''t forget to get that gaudy blanket off the Lone Wolf''s bed, will you?"
10688No?
10688Now if you will just let me show you--""Why you are putting that stout girl"--indicating Bengal--"in the stern of the canoe?
10688Now, do you say that a woman ca n''t go exploring as well as a man?"
10688Now, who''ll be Miss Peckham?"
10688Oh, dear, did you ever see anyone so funny as Katherine?"
10688Oh, my gracious, how can we ever stand him around here a week?"
10688Oh, wo n''t it be great fun when I do that in the stunt?
10688Oh- Pshaw looked timidly at the human Colossus standing in the middle of the tent, and inquired meekly,"Are you Miss Armstrong?
10688Require references and all that sort of thing?"
10688Shall I put it in the hot water bottle?"
10688Should she make a clean breast of it now and have nothing more to fear, or should she take a chance on Jo''s never mentioning it to Mary?
10688So you''ll give me your promise, wo n''t you, Bengal dear, that you will never mention this matter to anybody around camp?"
10688That''s the way it has always been with us Winnebagos, has n''t it?
10688The Elephant''s Child came in at the end with a fervent plea:"Please, ca n''t I be in Pom- pom''s tent_ this_ year?"
10688The Winnebagos?
10688The voice, the intonation, the expression, were Carmen Chadwick to a T. But how did the Alleys know about her attitude toward bathing?
10688The"who else_ could_ it be?"
10688Then the girl smiles demurely at him, and says coyly--""Why do n''t you speak for yourself, John?"
10688Then, turning to Mrs. Grayson, he asked plaintively:"Mother,_ why_ do we have to be afflicted with Jane Pratt year after year?
10688Then, turning to the man in the chair, she exclaimed,"There now, who said it was impossible?"
10688There was a pause, and then the other girl asked, somewhat hastily,"Who do you suppose will get the Buffalo Robe this year?"
10688Those are supposed to be the symptoms, are n''t they?"
10688Was it any wonder that Robert Allison, seeing her for the first time, should have exclaimed involuntarily,"Minnehaha, Laughing Water"?
10688Was it not possible that Mary had mentioned the robin incident in this letter?
10688Was it perhaps true after all?
10688Was n''t she funny, though, when I told her that father might have to go to Japan in the interests of his firm?
10688Was this the road she was going to travel; was this the direction in which she had set her face?
10688What are they all laughing at, I wonder?
10688What color did you say it was?"
10688What could she suspect?
10688What does the name mean?"
10688What for?"
10688What part of the country are you from?"
10688What shall I do?"
10688What''s the rest of your name?"
10688What_ can_ it be?"
10688Where is she?
10688Which one are you in?"
10688Who are you?
10688Who could the girl be?
10688Who has she in the tent with her?"
10688Who wants to come with me and see if we can find a cave?
10688Who wants to come with me?"
10688Who''s going to impersonate Tiny Armstrong?"
10688Who''s in her tent?"
10688Why had n''t she herself been the one to climb up and rescue that poor bird?
10688Will anyone have any more pudding?"
10688Wo n''t you please try?"
10688Would n''t you like to come along and keep me company?
10688You were n''t rummaging among her things, were you?"
10688You''re right near the path to the river, are n''t you?
10688You''ve noticed how kind of hairy her chin is, have n''t you?
10688asked the Doctor,"the two that have not moved underneath, as yet?"
10688said Agony firmly,"do n''t you_ dare_ do anything like that?
10688who else_ could_ it be?''"
36130''Do n''t you know,''she asked him,''thatto- morrow never comes"?''
36130''Is there anything in the nest yet, John?'' 36130 A revenue cutter, I suppose?
36130A walking geography?
36130Ai n''t you going to let me come, Spot-- I mean, Hen?
36130All ready out there?
36130And Henrietta?
36130And so we are to be deprived of our needed nourishment because you piggy- wiggies have had enough?
36130And then I wo n''t have nuthin''? 36130 And to what port would you sail?"
36130And where is the shark?
36130And why?
36130And you will have a house full of company, I suppose?
36130And you wish to send her a message if it is possible?
36130And, girls, what do you suppose that grouchy old fisherman will say when he sees we lost his rudder?
36130And-- and is n''t there any help for us, Darry Drew?
36130Are all ministers supposed to be such terrible people?
36130Are you the little girl who owns this island? 36130 But ca n''t we do something to help ourselves?"
36130But can an amateur build and practically work this new circuit?
36130But if the door has been locked on us?
36130But is it really true, Daddy, that Hackle Island belongs to little Henrietta and Bertha?
36130But is there a possibility, Robert?
36130But what can be burning? 36130 But what is the matter?
36130But where does the island come in?
36130But where is little Hen?
36130But you do n''t think it will be necessary to call for help, do you, Darrington?
36130But you heard that big splash, did n''t you?
36130But-- then-- how did Daddy Norwood come aboard of her?
36130Ca n''t we go anywhere without Belle and Sally showing up?
36130Ca n''t we take the inside passage-- go through the Cape Cod Canal?
36130Ca n''t we?
36130Can folks like Miss Jessie and Miss Amy hear''em?
36130Can it be possible?
36130Can you get it aboard, Jess?
36130Can you link the power, or whatever you call it, up with the sending paraphernalia and get an S O S over the water?
36130Cow? 36130 Dear me,"said Nell, as the girls descended to the beach,"you run into radio fans everywhere, do n''t you?
36130Did Blair telephone you to- day again about that matter?
36130Did n''t the funny little thing say something before about owning an island?
36130Did you ever hear such a jumbled- up affair?
36130Did you ever hear such nonsense?
36130Did you find that young Indian?
36130Did you send that message, Jessie?
36130Do n''t I smell what?
36130Do n''t you belong in the hotel?
36130Do n''t you know if one of them comes here and sees this smoke, everybody will know it?
36130Do n''t you remember? 36130 Do n''t you s''pose I know where an island ought to be?"
36130Do n''t you think I know_ that_?
36130Do n''t you want me to row some, Nell?
36130Do you hear it?
36130Do you hear that?
36130Do you suppose Mr. Blair would let me recite into it like that?
36130Do you suppose it is so-- that her father can drive us all out of the cottages? 36130 Do you suppose she can be in trouble?"
36130Do you want to scare me to death?
36130Do-- do you think you can reach land, Jessie Norwood?
36130Does Burd cook?
36130Does she think she owns Station Island?
36130Don''t-- don''t you smell it?
36130Fog?
36130Has that kid shown up at last?
36130Have you got Saint Vitus''s dance, Amy Drew?
36130Have you seen her?
36130Hear what?
36130How big, dear? 36130 How can I eat?
36130How can one be still in such a jerky, pitching boat?
36130How can we? 36130 How can you say such things, Daddy?"
36130How can you, Amy? 36130 How can you?"
36130How did the world ever get along without any other great invention?
36130How did you get down there?
36130How do we know what great developments may come within the next few years in the line of radio control? 36130 How do you know?"
36130How goes it now?
36130How long do I have to wait?
36130How''d he know me?
36130However can they tell you out of that machine there is a thunderstorm coming?
36130I suppose you know there is no surety that you can keep it a month?
36130I wonder how far it is to-- to land underneath the keel?
36130I wonder if_ you_ ought not to have a rest away from the family, Nell?
36130I wonder where Station Island is situated?
36130I''d like to know what''s wrong with us?
36130If I lost the rudder, did n''t we all lose it?
36130If the kid wants to dive overboard, are we to be held responsible?
36130If the skipper thinks he needs to make more steam for the engines, why ca n''t we all take turns at the pump?
36130If this island is going to be mine some time, why not now? 36130 Is it a perfectly safe beach?"
36130Is it a wolf or a bear?
36130Is it just somebody''s squeak- box making trouble to- night or am I hearing a sure- enough S O S? 36130 Is it night?"
36130Is it safe?
36130Is it serious, Skipper?
36130Is it?
36130Is n''t it wonderful?
36130Is n''t that little Hen from Dogtown?
36130Is she going to sink? 36130 Is she going to try to get away before he misses the rudder?"
36130Is that one of those locket and chain things you wear around your neck? 36130 Is that so?"
36130Is that what you want to know?
36130Is the ship really on fire?
36130Is there any likelihood of our being able to send out a call for assistance, Jessie?
36130Is this my house?
36130It''s awful to be responsible for owning an island, ai n''t it?
36130It''s my island, ai n''t it? 36130 Learning something, are n''t you, Son?"
36130Listen to this, will you?
36130Not Belle''s father?
36130Oh, indeed? 36130 Oh, she did?"
36130On Station Island-- Hackle Island it used to be called?
36130Ready, Jess?
36130Say, if I get rich ca n''t I do like I want to-- like other rich folks?
36130See that cloud, Jess? 36130 See them whispering together?"
36130Shall I bring a hat?
36130She keeps the place almost as tomb- like as a boiler shop-- what?
36130So your folks got one of these bungalows, did they, after all, Jess Norwood?
36130Something better than an atlas?
36130Spent all your money and waiting for us to take you in and treat you?
36130Suppose one of those_ had_ run into us?
36130Sure that she wo n''t make you and Momsy crazy, Jess?
36130Tell me,Jessie said,"what is the difference between my receiving set and yours, Monty?"
36130That I am going to stop and let him and Burd beat us? 36130 The pump works all right just as Darry says, does n''t it?"
36130The_ Marigold_, is it?
36130Then it is n''t sure that little Henrietta will get her island? 36130 Then they can hear you?"
36130We can learn the Morse alphabet, just the same, ca n''t we?
36130We do n''t need any help yet, do we?
36130We- ell,said Henrietta, pouting,"we ca n''t tell''em what we have done before we do it, can we?
36130Well, the thing is, can we use it?
36130Well, what does she mean?
36130Well, who wants to wait all day for you to repair it, and then ride home with a fellow all smeared up with oil and soot? 36130 Well, would you ever?"
36130Well,sniffed Henrietta,"I have n''t got to let''em on my island if I do n''t want to, have I?"
36130What I want to know is the name of the island, child?
36130What are you saying?
36130What can have happened to the poor little thing?
36130What can the child mean?
36130What did Fred say-- or do?
36130What did we do with all those little cardboard boxes and paper tubes the parts came in? 36130 What do you come out here for?"
36130What do you know about that kid? 36130 What do you make of that?"
36130What do you mean, Henrietta Haney, by acting this way and talking so? 36130 What do you mean-- that you are rich, Henrietta?"
36130What do you mean? 36130 What do you mean?"
36130What do you really expect will come of the child?
36130What do you say, Amy?
36130What do you suppose it all means?
36130What do you suppose that grouchy old man will say when we bring him back his boat without the rudder?
36130What do you think about it?
36130What do you want to trim your ship with-- red, white and blue?
36130What does it matter? 36130 What does she mean?"
36130What for? 36130 What for?"
36130What good will you ever be if you get your leg bit off?
36130What have you girls on your minds for this morning?
36130What have you got to do?
36130What is it now?
36130What is it, Nell?
36130What is it?
36130What is it?
36130What is that ridiculous child talking about?
36130What is that, Amy? 36130 What is that?"
36130What is the matter, Nell?
36130What is the matter?
36130What is the matter?
36130What shall we do? 36130 What shall we do?"
36130What under the sun is that?
36130What would you say?
36130What''s all the hammering for?
36130What''s doing, young ladies?
36130What''s happened to her?
36130What''s happened to the family now, Jess?
36130What''s he doing? 36130 What''s that?"
36130What''s the matter, Skipper?
36130What''s the matter?
36130What''s the matter?
36130What''s the use?
36130What''s up her sleeve?
36130When I came in the room was full of smoke and-- don''t you smell it?
36130When do we eat, Miss Jessie? 36130 When''s the end?"
36130Where are you going, Nell?
36130Where are you going?
36130Where are your folks going, Billy?
36130Where does the smoke come from? 36130 Where is little Hen?"
36130Where is she? 36130 Where is that child?"
36130Where is this island?
36130Where is your big canoe?
36130Where would it be? 36130 Where''ll we go?"
36130Who are going where?
36130Who does she pay? 36130 Who has written you a billet- doux?"
36130Who is it?
36130Who is that?
36130Who will stop us, please?
36130Who''s lost?
36130Why does n''t she hire somebody to teach her better? 36130 Why not a sunbonnet?"
36130Why not? 36130 Why not?
36130Why should you skin yours?
36130Why worry? 36130 Why worry?"
36130Why, how do you suppose I was going to get there?
36130Why?
36130Will Darry do it?
36130Wonder what is going on over there?
36130You are inclined to take the matter up?
36130You do n''t mean she''s gone overboard?
36130You do n''t own that island, do you? 36130 You mean the little girl who stood right here?"
36130You think she is leaking?
36130You will excuse us for a little, Mrs. Foley? 36130 You would n''t tell Darry?"
36130You''re the man that can send words out over the ocean, are n''t you?
36130Your brother and Burd Alling have got back with that yacht, have n''t they?
36130Your old picnic was just spoiled by my bad weather, was n''t it? 36130 _ Will_ you behave?"
36130''S- t- a- t- i- o- n I- s- l- a- n- d.''What''s the joke?
36130A bungalow?"
36130Amy drawled:"What''s the matter, Hen?
36130And I suppose you know about the claim he has against all the middle of this island?"
36130But Amy demanded:"What do you think you have to say about it, Belle Ringold?
36130But Momsy is already talking about sending her away to school to have her toned down and----""Suppose the Blairs wo n''t hear to it?"
36130Ca n''t we get to land-- somewhere?
36130Ca n''t we go back to the island?"
36130Ca n''t we save her without so much red tape?"
36130Can it be----?"
36130Can the boys come?"
36130Could n''t be we overlooked anything, Burd?"
36130Darry and Burd came in again and asked what they could do?
36130Darry?"
36130Dear me, Nell, did you ever see such funny children in your life as those Dogtown kids?"
36130Did n''t I read something about''radio control''in one of our books, Jess?
36130Did n''t you know what you were doing?"
36130Did you ever expect that we would be sitting here on Darry''s yacht waiting for it to sink under us?"
36130Did you ever hear of Station Island?"
36130Did you ever?"
36130Did you ever?"
36130Did you get the latitude and longitude from the skipper, Darry?"
36130Did you see her fall?"
36130Do I get any of the money?"
36130Do I, or do n''t I?"
36130Do n''t you know that is not a polite way-- nor a nice way-- to act?"
36130Do n''t you remember that you lost the instruction book overboard sometime there, when we were getting the bothersome thing fixed?"
36130Do tell us what we are to do to get into high and show a little speed?"
36130Do you mean it?"
36130Do you remember when you smeared your hands all up with chocolate cake and tried to wipe them clean on Darry''s new trousers?"
36130Do you s''pose that''s nec- sary?"
36130Do you see her?
36130Do you see this Darry?
36130Do you want to disgrace us all?
36130Drew?"
36130Foley?"
36130For was not Belle desirous of chartering the_ Marigold_?
36130Has Mr. Blair been hurt?"
36130Has it been really settled?
36130Have you all been good boys and girls to- day?
36130He christens folks, does n''t he?"
36130Hear that thunder, will you?"
36130How about it, Burd?"
36130How about it, Darry?"
36130How are we getting on with the new circuit?"
36130How did it get locked this way, do you suppose?"
36130How did she come here?"
36130How shall we ever get home in these soaked rags?"
36130I am deadly sick of hearing:''Is n''t that just like a girl?''
36130I dug so much sand----""Did you dig all those holes I found, Henrietta?"
36130I suppose I have to go back and step on the tail of that horn after breakfast?"
36130I suppose he will let it to a party-- for a price?"
36130I suppose the boat is all right?
36130I thought you said you were a good sailor?"
36130I wonder if there is a storm at sea?"
36130I''d like to know what you girls think you are doing here?
36130Is n''t he nice?"
36130Is that right, Jessie?
36130Is that the fog- horn?
36130Is that the switch?
36130Is this something more that you or your folks own?
36130It braces me----""Even for drowning?"
36130No island, nor golf link, nor-- nor nuthin''?
36130Now, Darry, I guess we''ll have to send out signals, sha''n''t we?"
36130Now, does he, Monty?"
36130One of your week- end guests, I suppose?"
36130Or is eating all over?"
36130Pandrick?"
36130Remember what little Hen Haney said about owning an island?
36130See this jigamarig, Jess?
36130See?"
36130Shall I shout for one of the boys?
36130Shall I?"
36130She looked at Montmorency Shannon accusingly and asked:"Do you know what she is talking about?"
36130She suddenly demanded of Jessie:"Is this spring on a part of my land, Miss Jessie?"
36130Smoking down there?"
36130Somebody calling us without using the code letters?"
36130That Ringold one-- and that Moon one-- haven''t any prop''ty on this island, have they?"
36130That is, it is safe, is n''t it?"
36130The first number on the program being----""Do you hear that?
36130Then where would you have been?"
36130Think it belongs on the contraption?"
36130To bail out the canoe?
36130Understand?"
36130Want to go pickaback, Hen?"
36130Well, this man said:''Are you Padriac Haney''s little girl?''
36130What are we going to do?"
36130What business had he to get in the way?"
36130What can I do, Jess?"
36130What d''you think?
36130What did I say about that stuff?"
36130What do you mean?"
36130What do you suppose they would do?"
36130What is college, anyway?"
36130What is it?"
36130What is that, Amy?"
36130What is that?"
36130What say, Darry?"
36130What shall we do on that island, Amy, without any George Washington sundaes?"
36130What would ye expect?"
36130What''s that?
36130What''s the noise?"
36130What''s this?
36130What_ could_ have become of Henrietta Haney?
36130When a squall comes up----""Oh, but you do n''t think it looks like a squall this afternoon, do you?"
36130When you and Burd set this up are you sure you followed the instructions of the book in every particular?"
36130Where are you going now?"
36130Where did we put the things left over?"
36130Where else could she have gone?"
36130Where had the child gone from here?
36130Where was she?
36130Where_ can_ it come from?"
36130Who ever heard of a fisherman before who did n''t know all about the weather?"
36130Who has a better right there?"
36130Who is the nearest drowned?"
36130Who you lookin''for?"
36130Why do n''t you ask the minister to change it for you?
36130Why not?
36130Why wait for something that is mine?"
36130Why, how did the world ever get along without it before Marconi first thought of it?"
36130Would n''t you like a boat ride to your island?"
36130Would they, Burd?"
36130You are not going back to Stratfordtown at once, Bertha?"
36130You do n''t feel sick, do you?"
36130You mean that for a joke, do you?
36130You remember?"
36130You see the life saver beyond it, I hope?"
36130ejaculated Burd,"suppose she did n''t find us at all and we were paddling around in that boat and on the life raft?
36130is n''t it a flounder?"
36130is that what the tin dipper is for?"
36130shall we have to take to the boat and the life raft?"
36130what does he think?"
36130what is the matter with it?"
28448''Have you a little radio in your home?''
28448''Patient''?
28448''The witch''?
28448A girl you and Amy knew?
28448A lady in the case, eh?
28448A slack wire? 28448 About what?"
28448Again I ask,repeated Amy, more earnestly,"_ how_ could that girl, whoever she is, get to a sending station?
28448Ai n''t I always hungry? 28448 Ai n''t I hungry?"
28448Ai n''t what?
28448Ain''t-- ain''t there ghosts there?
28448Am I going to sure- enough keep''em to wear Sundays?
28448And I suppose your brother, Darrington, is over here, too?
28448And I thought you did not want to be considered a burglar?
28448And if we win it, shall we divide the coat between us?
28448And leave me here?
28448And one boy called out:''Say, Mister, if the angels had wings why did they walk up and down Jacob''s ladder?''
28448And why do you suppose, Jess, folks always have to suggest that girls ca n''t do what boys can? 28448 And you do n''t know what Bertha was afraid of?"
28448And you think there can be nothing done for that other girl?
28448And-- haven''t-- you seen her before?
28448Another idea?
28448Are n''t you going to do it?
28448Are n''t you hungry, honey?
28448Are n''t you scared, child?
28448Are you sure that was the woman who ran off with the girl?
28448Are you? 28448 Are-- are you the ha''nt?"
28448Because she did n''t give you enough to eat?
28448Bertha Blair?
28448Bertha who?
28448Big Bertha?
28448But about Bertha?
28448But have n''t you any money?
28448But once,Jessie suggested,"you had a chance to try to send out a cry for help?"
28448But what is this revived interest that you want to take up?
28448But where do you suppose they took Bertha-- if it was Henrietta''s cousin we saw carried off?
28448But why do n''t they give the alarm?
28448But you say that maybe they could have rigging for the station without any aerials in the open?
28448But you think she might have come this way?
28448But-- but----how could she get at any sending station to tell her troubles to-- to the air?
28448Ca n''t you find her?
28448Could they find it, do you think, Jessie?
28448Did Bertha Blair work for a woman named Poole?
28448Did I ever bring to your attention, Miss Drew----"Why do n''t you say''drew''to my attention?
28448Did I hear you say something, Belle?
28448Did he go out on that yacht? 28448 Did it bite you?"
28448Did n''t I show you the lightning switch?
28448Did n''t you know her when she passed, Jess?
28448Did n''t you read that magazine article?
28448Did you come to see me?
28448Did you ever hear the like?
28448Did you ever?
28448Did you see her, Jess?
28448Did you think she looked like an orphan?
28448Do I feel like a ghost? 28448 Do n''t I tell you_ yes_?"
28448Do n''t even want us to help you?
28448Do n''t the Foleys treat you kindly?
28448Do n''t you believe me?
28448Do n''t you know it''s afire?
28448Do n''t you see what I see, Amy Drew?
28448Do n''t you suppose we girls know anything at all, Darry?
28448Do n''t you think that place looked deserted?
28448Do you hear that?
28448Do you know what the dear doctor says? 28448 Do you know who owns the farm over there by the track?
28448Do you speak of the car or the lady?
28448Do you suppose I stopped to count them? 28448 Do you suppose the police knew that that woman was sending racing news to gambling rooms from up there at her farm?"
28448Do you think that girl sounded as though she were joking?
28448Do you think we shall wear out the radio, honey?
28448Do you wear these pants all the time?
28448Do-- do you see anything?
28448Does n''t your father know the roads, too?
28448Forgot what?
28448Have I heard anything before about a girl being carried away?
28448Having all those wires outside the house? 28448 Here, in Roselawn?"
28448How can they, when wireless telegraphy has been known so long?
28448How can we? 28448 How dare they?"
28448How do you know they did? 28448 How does an orphan look?"
28448How shall we find out-- how shall we?
28448How will you fix it, then?
28448How you going to tune her, Jess?
28448I guess you folks ai n''t, has you?
28448I guess you''d like to have a new dress, would n''t you, Henrietta?
28448Is it a cape- coat suit?
28448Is it a trapeze? 28448 Is it anything I can do for you?"
28448Is it that Ellison case, Robert?
28448Is n''t it better than our talking machine? 28448 Is n''t it exciting?"
28448Is n''t she the bravest little thing?
28448Is n''t that always the way when we come up here to the Norwoods''? 28448 Is n''t that too bad?"
28448Is she hanging around here yet?
28448Is that all sure enough so, Jess?
28448Is there anything, I''d like to know, that girls ca n''t beat boys at?
28448Is this radio business like a talking machine?
28448Is_ this_ what started you girls off at such a tearing pace? 28448 Just the same,"she told Amy afterward, when they were in the automobile once more,"Blair is not such a common name, do you think?"
28448Just to let you admire Dogtown, I suppose?
28448Just what did you come for, Belle?
28448Know him, girls? 28448 Let me see-- what time was it?"
28448Of course you did not hear anything about her when you searched up and down the boulevard the other day?
28448Oh, Jess, dear,_ are_ you going to have a radio?
28448Oh, but, Robert,said Mrs. Norwood,"do you think the two girls can do that work?"
28448Oh, would n''t it be fun to get a chance to work at a broadcasting station?
28448Say we go?
28448She ca n''t eat the snakes, can she?
28448So she''ll have to shut her eyes if she wants to know you, will she, kid?
28448So you can not prophesy, can you? 28448 Something funny, I suppose?"
28448Suppose it should be the girl whom we saw carried off by those two awful women?
28448Suppose what is safe, dear?
28448Sure you did n''t see any aerial, Darry?
28448Tell us,she said,"why you think your cousin was carried off?"
28448Tell you what,he said, looking at Burd,"we''ll hang around long enough to ride over to the stock farm with the girls, sha''n''t we?"
28448The child has n''t been up to see you at all, has she?
28448The lost girl, Bertha?
28448The old Gandy stock farm, Miss?
28448The radio afire?
28448The thunder struck?
28448Them ai n''t for_ me_?
28448Then do n''t you think, Jessie, the fact that it is a broadcasting plant where the girl is imprisoned must narrow the inquiry a good deal?
28448They''ll be longer and more important than the antenna for the usual receiving set, wo n''t they?
28448Wart and all?
28448Was she dark and thin and-- and waspish looking?
28448We do not know what it was all about, my dear, so why worry our minds? 28448 We were not expecting anybody, were we?"
28448Well, they are going to be regular road- agents, are n''t they?
28448Well, to Mrs. Foley''s house in a big maroon automobile?
28448What Bertha are you looking for?
28448What are they doing to you, child?
28448What are they-- road pirates? 28448 What are we going to hear?"
28448What are you going to charge for admission?
28448What are you panting for, Amy?
28448What can I do for you, young ladies?
28448What could he say?
28448What do you know about that?
28448What do you mean?
28448What do you say that for?
28448What do you say?
28448What do you suppose is the matter, Jess?
28448What do you think of that?
28448What do you think you can do more than they have done?
28448What do you think, Jess? 28448 What girl was this?"
28448What happened to her that she wanted to leave that dreadful fat woman?
28448What happened?
28448What is her name and what has she done?
28448What is it, Belle, honey?
28448What is it, a conundrum? 28448 What is it?
28448What is it?
28448What is that?
28448What is that?
28448What is the desperate need for a father?
28448What is the matter with the girl?
28448What is the matter, Jess?
28448What is the wave length?
28448What is there crazy about trying to help somebody who certainly must be in trouble? 28448 What is this?"
28448What scared you?
28448What seems to be the trouble, ladies? 28448 What time is it, Darry?"
28448What were they trying to do to you?
28448What will you do?
28448What wo n''t you kids do next?
28448What you want?
28448What''s going on in there? 28448 What''s happened to that child?
28448What''s it all about?
28448What''s that?
28448What''s the matter with you and Jess, Amy Drew? 28448 What''s the matter with you, Amy Drew?
28448What''s the matter with you, Sis?
28448What?
28448What_ can_ it be?
28448Where did you leave that_ Marigold_?
28448Where is he?
28448Where you going, Jess?
28448Where''s Hen?
28448Where''s the sun gone?
28448Who are you talking about?
28448Who was?
28448Why did you come here to ask for your Cousin Bertha?
28448Why do n''t you put it out?
28448Why not to the Bahamas, Darry?
28448Why not, for mercy''s sake?
28448Why not? 28448 Why not?
28448Why not?
28448Why should we care?
28448Wo n''t it be great if they ever get pocket radios?
28448Would n''t you rather have it downstairs-- in the drawing- room, for instance?
28448Would you go, Amy?
28448You got a job for me up here?
28448You know what Amy says? 28448 You let me know how you get on building it, will you?"
28448You never are at home, are you?
28448You''re just as sure as sure, are n''t you?
28448You''ve seen them cape- suits that''s come into fashion this year, ai n''t you? 28448 Your clients are likely to lose their share, then?"
28448All_ that_?''"
28448Am I not to be allowed to go calling?"
28448And a real estate office?"
28448And have you come to take me away?"
28448And have you washed the dishes like I told you?"
28448And how had the boys managed to stay a whole year at Yale without being asked to leave for the good of the undergraduate body?
28448And now, is there any little boy or any little girl who would like to answer that question?''
28448And she lets you call her out o''name?
28448And what were the girls doing in their present fetching costumes?
28448And who will give the lecture?"
28448And without taking any of us girls?"
28448Are we to have a summer circus in Roselawn?"
28448Are you Bertha Blair?"
28448Are you sure they are dead, Henrietta?"
28448At this announcement Belle Ringold actually cried out:"What''s that?"
28448Blair?"
28448Blair?"
28448Blair?"
28448But Jessie shook her head at her chum warningly, and asked the man:"Do you know if Mrs. Poole is at the place now?"
28448But do you suppose it is safe?"
28448But how could she see into those buildings that are all shut up any better than we could when we were over there?"
28448But me lecture?
28448But the kids got to be fed first, ai n''t they?
28448But what has that to do with little Henrietta?
28448But, do you remember, we met that Mrs. Bothwell again in the big French car that very evening?"
28448By the way, who is going to pay for it?"
28448CHAPTER XV CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?
28448Ca n''t you tear yourself away, Darry?"
28448Can It Be Possible?
28448Can you beat it?"
28448Could Bertha be the girl you are looking for?"
28448Did n''t she?"
28448Did n''t you feel and hear it?
28448Did we introduce you to Belle?
28448Did you ever see a place like that when you have been riding about the country?"
28448Did you have trouble with yours, Jess?"
28448Did you hear her beg us not to let them take her back-- back----""Back where?"
28448Did you see the child''s hands?
28448Did you try that door, Darry?"
28448Do n''t they always put orphans in blue denim?"
28448Do n''t you hear me?
28448Do n''t you recognize an aerial when you see it?"
28448Do n''t you remember?
28448Do n''t you see it is printed here?"
28448Do n''t you think we might get Henrietta, take her over to the Gandy place, and look around again for Bertha?"
28448Do you believe that cry for help was from little Hen''s cousin?"
28448Do you hear that?"
28448Do you know what she said?"
28448Do you know, Darry, Jess is bound to find that lost girl we were telling you about?
28448Do you suppose so?"
28448Do you think----?"
28448Foley?"
28448Ghosts?"
28448Has your radio set got an amplifier, Jess?"
28448Have n''t you any money?"
28448Have they gone out in the_ Marigold_?"
28448Have you actually got me in here without being able to pay for this cream?"
28448Have you seen a couple of young ladies around here who have just finished their junior year at the New Melford High with flying colors?
28448He twisted around in his seat to say:"Why did n''t you ask Blair about it?
28448Hear that thumping, will you?"
28448How can we find her?"
28448How had the girls finished their high- school year?
28448How many snakes are there, Jess?"
28448How should we like to wear nothing but second- hand clothes?"
28448I am going to get that talk on''Hairpins and Haricots''by that extremely funny newspaper man-- what is his name?"
28448I wonder if Doctor Stanley or Nell knows that the house is on fire?"
28448I wonder if he''d get it?"
28448If she is hidden away over there at that Gandy farm, how shall we ever find it out for sure?"
28448If the poor girl is shut up here----""Where?"
28448If your radio is n''t finished, Jess, why ca n''t you and Amy come with us?
28448Is Chip here?"
28448Is it a human being or an animal?"
28448Is it a joke or a conundrum?"
28448Is it an angel she''s turned into?
28448Is it an insect?"
28448Is it static interference?"
28448Is n''t there a village near?
28448Is n''t this good, Jess?"
28448Is that Miss Amy Drew?"
28448It will enable us to make the far end of the aerials higher than my window-- you see?"
28448JEALOUSY CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?
28448Jess suddenly exclaimed,"if I get my radio rigged why ca n''t we communicate with the_ Marigold_ when it is at sea?"
28448Jessie demanded:"Who are those awful children, Henrietta?"
28448Kidnapers?"
28448Maybe they wo n''t let poor folks like those in Dogtown have radios?
28448Momsy wants to see her in these new clothes, and----""Well, if Mrs. Momsy-- Or is it Mr. Momsy, I dunno?"
28448Now, Amy, do you understand what there is to do?"
28448Or do the Hertzian waves come through the ground, as some say?"
28448Or is she an heiress, I dunno?
28448Or should they aid the fleshy woman?
28448SPOTTED SNAKE, THE WITCH BROADCASTING CHAPTER XVI SPOTTED SNAKE, THE WITCH"What are they trying to do to that poor child?"
28448See it?"
28448See that thing moving down there by the woods?
28448Shall we ever catch up on our regular rations, Burd?"
28448She tore off the ear- tabs and demanded:"What_ are_ you doing, Jess?
28448She turned to the fleshy woman, and repeated her question:"What is the matter with the girl?"
28448Should she lift it?
28448Should they help the screaming girl?
28448So he said:"''And now, is there any little boy or any little girl who would like to ask me a question?''
28448So she is a race track follower, is she?"
28448So you want to take little Hen away from me?"
28448Somebody must explain and manage the entertainment in the radio tent, and who better than Jessie?
28448Something about''Take care of the dollars and the cents will take care of themselves?''"
28448Suppose her mother had been frightened by the thunder and lightning and should pay for it with one of her long and torturing sick headaches?
28448The Gandy place?"
28448The question now was, had Bertha stolen her way into the tower at that time, or was she held prisoner there?
28448They came pouring out of that dark stairway----""Where_ is_ the child?"
28448This woman----""Please tell me her name?"
28448Was the_ Marigold_ a real yacht, or just a row- boat with a kicker behind?
28448Was there something supernatural on the stairway?
28448Well, we do n''t know her or the woman who took her, do we?"
28448Were you trying to slip out without paying Nick?
28448What are they ever doing?"
28448What can you do with a young one like that?"
28448What do the doctors know about eating?"
28448What do you think, Chapman?"
28448What do you think, Daddy?
28448What is the first move?"
28448What is the matter?"
28448What is the wonder?"
28448What is your name?
28448What was her name-- Bertha?"
28448What''s in a name, anyhow?"
28448What''s that?"
28448When and where did she run away from the women?
28448Where are the snakes, Jessie?"
28448Where is the radio?
28448Where you going now?"
28448Who is this young person who may be Bertha but who probably is not?"
28448Who said anything about the Alps?"
28448Who walks it-- you or Jess?"
28448Whoever said Burd Alling had good sense?"
28448Why do n''t you write Darry a note and leave it at the house?"
28448Why, you remember when he went to Bridgeton a month ago to speak at the local Sunday School Union?
28448Why?
28448Will they?"
28448Will they?"
28448Will you boys come along?"
28448Will you ever have sense?"
28448Wireless?"
28448Wo n''t you like me a little, Henrietta?"
28448You crazy?"
28448You do n''t mean it is as easy as all that?"
28448You here, too?"
28448You mean Mr. Abel Ellison?
28448You mean the girl you saw put in the automobile and taken away?
28448You never cleaned out the stove- grate, did you?"
28448You two girls?
28448You wo n''t refuse to let her see Bertha, will you?"
28448You, Amy Drew, suggesting such a horrid thing?
28448can it be possible, do you think?"
28448cried Belle, languishingly,"you wo n''t leave us?"
28448do n''t you suppose we have come to the right place?"
28448drawled Amy, her eyes twinkling,"you do n''t mean to buy the Gandy farm, do you?"
28448how did you come to think of that?"
28448is this little Hennie?
28448is_ that_ all I get?''
28448she cried,"you do not know much about this radio business, do you?"
28448was n''t you one of the girls, Miss, that saw Mrs. Poole putting me into that car?"
28448what''s the meaning of this parade?
28448where were our wits?
30825''Become becalmed,''said Migwan mischievously,"does n''t that sound as if you had your mouth full of something sticky?"
30825''I guess you did n''t get much of a war canoe, did you?'' 30825 ''If seven maids with seven mops swept it for half a year, Do you suppose,''the Walrus said,''that they could get it clear?''"
30825''Oh, was there ever such a knight in friendship or in war?''
30825A real Indian tribe? 30825 All ready there?"
30825Always wondering whether you have a right to do things, are n''t you, puss? 30825 And what a snob Anthony was?"
30825And you mean to say,demanded Katherine,"that those boys never intended to burn up Eeny- Meeny?"
30825Are n''t some people the funniest things, though?
30825Are n''t we nearly there?
30825Are we expecting you young people to do too much? 30825 Are you badly hurt?"
30825Are you hurt?
30825Are you perfectly sure we wo n''t disturb her by going in?
30825Are you quite, quite sure you''re not low in your mind?
30825Are you sure that was the place, where I pulled you out?
30825Are you thirsty, too?
30825Ask anything you want?
30825Bury that moose? 30825 But did you ever see anything so funny as that thing hanging down from his neck?"
30825But how could I guess that one of you would jump into it? 30825 But say, would you mind writing out what you told me?
30825But talking about firmaments, just what are_ you_ doing in this corner of the country?
30825But who''ll be Chiefs that extra week?
30825But you will pretty soon, wo n''t you?
30825But, how am I going to''pass on the light that has been given to me,''if I am to be away from people?
30825But,objected the practical Sahwah,"how was it possible for the stars to shine in daylight?"
30825By the way, what''s become of the Principal Diversion for this week?
30825By the way,he said casually, when they had finished,"did you know that I happen to own that stretch of land?"
30825Ca n''t we do something,said Sahwah,"run and tell somebody?
30825Ca n''t we have a big hunting party and kill it and bring home the antlers to hang in the House of the Open Door?
30825Ca n''t you see it''s imbedded in the earth?
30825Ca n''t you wait until afterwards for your ride?
30825Ca n''t you?
30825Captain, will you go for the mail this afternoon?
30825Captain,she said,"did n''t you say you dreamed about water when you were fasting?"
30825Colonel Berry,said Hinpoha during one of the pauses in his speech,"may I ask you something?"
30825Could n''t you curl it?
30825Did he really say that?
30825Did it oversleep, too?
30825Did n''t I say it was all soft sand underneath? 30825 Did n''t I tell you she''d develop a backbone if the right occasion presented itself?
30825Did n''t he make speed going around that narrow, slippery ledge, though?
30825Did n''t he, Papa?
30825Did n''t the old Greeks and Romans carry their household gods with them, and did n''t the Indians take their''Medicine''along on all their journeys? 30825 Did the Indians ever bury anything under stones?"
30825Did the Indians ever bury anything under stones?
30825Did the lake ever look so big and cold to you before?
30825Did you ever see such big antlers?
30825Did you have it come to take us home, Papa?
30825Did you intend to stop?
30825Do I look any neater?
30825Do n''t I hear you girls singing:''We always think the weather''s fine in sunshine or in snow?''"
30825Do n''t you see it''s going to begin?
30825Do n''t you think,said Slim, as she came up,"that Eeny- Meeny would like some fudge when she wakes up?
30825Do we have crew practice if it is n''t a nice day?
30825Do you folks know what time it is? 30825 Do you hear that, Anthony?"
30825Do you know how to make your fortune now?
30825Do you know what I heard papa saying to Uncle Teddy one night? 30825 Do you mind awfully, because we dug up the ground?"
30825Do you mind if I make a few criticisms?
30825Do you need any help getting it over?
30825Do you remember the time she walked out of Osterland''s with a thirty- dollar hat on her head?
30825Do you suppose he''ll get seasick? 30825 Do you suppose she would take the money to go to college?"
30825Do you suppose we''ll find our way back to the cedar tree?
30825Do you think it will rain so much today that we ca n''t go over to St. Pierre with the little launch engine?
30825Do you think we''d better dig?
30825Does anyone speak for the boy, Anthony?
30825Does n''t it remind you of that piece in the Fourth Reader about the mule?
30825Good gracious, Slim, you are n''t hungry again?
30825Good,said Katherine,"what shall we do?"
30825Goodness, what was that?
30825Had n''t you better wear your sweater?
30825Have we a right to take him?
30825Have you ever looked up through a very tall chimney?
30825Hinpoha,said Gladys, drawing her aside when they were ready to retire,"what do you think of watching tonight?
30825How about you, Katherine?
30825How are we ever going to find our way back to Ellen''s Isle in this mess?
30825How are we going to know when they will be there?
30825How can you hear us after you''re asleep?
30825How did you ever get them made without our knowing?
30825How do they taste?
30825How do you get down? 30825 How does a donkey look when he''s pale?"
30825How does it feel to be shipwrecked?
30825How many did you catch, Anthony?
30825How many of you boys want to come along? 30825 How shall I go about to acquire this majestic carriage?"
30825How soon will they be here?
30825How''ll we get down?
30825How?
30825I mind?
30825I thought you said you''d gone to the Point of Pines?
30825I?
30825In for a bit of weather, eh?
30825Is he dead?
30825Is mother''s headache much worse?
30825Is n''t it because you''re sort of-- careless about your clothes?
30825Is n''t she a beauty, though?
30825Is n''t she a prune?
30825Is n''t that the Point of Pines?
30825Is n''t there a way to shorten up arms that are two yards long?
30825Is there anything you girls do n''t think is fun?
30825Is there really a college out where you live?
30825It was one of the number we learned, do n''t you remember, Hinpoha? 30825 It''s all right for us to go for a hike today, is n''t it, Uncle Teddy?"
30825It''s two boats,said Katherine,"or does a boat have two smokestacks?"
30825Just how were you planning to carry it?
30825Life is awfully complicated, is n''t it?
30825May I say something?
30825May I stay over there with Uncle Teddy and watch them take pictures?
30825May I, Uncle Teddy? 30825 May we climb a tree?"
30825May we see her?
30825My dear,she said, leaning across the table,"what is the matter with you?
30825No conveyance available to take me to St. Pierre? 30825 No trip complete for you without an upset, eh?
30825No, no, what are you thinking of?
30825Now which way did he go?
30825Now, Miss Katherine,said Hinpoha,"was it so terribly silly after all to think that mark meant something?"
30825Oh, Anthony,jeered Pitt,"ca n''t you make a better showing than that?"
30825Oh, Hinpoha,groaned Migwan,"how did you ever manage to get a passing grade in''Myth?''"
30825Oh, I say,he begged,"ca n''t you wait a minute until I show you my newest treasure?
30825Oh, Slim, are you very hungry?
30825Oh, Uncle Teddy, ca n''t we go over there and see if we can see it?
30825Oh, oh, does n''t she look real?
30825Oh, where are the folks?
30825Oh, why did I have to miss it?
30825On a what?
30825Probably,agreed Uncle Teddy,"unless----""Unless what?"
30825Remember the morning Katherine got us up at half past three for crew practice? 30825 See those two columns of smoke going up?"
30825Shall we go any further?
30825Slim,said Sahwah suspiciously, when her cup was empty,"just how much soup have you eaten?"
30825So it took a lesson like that to do it?
30825So what''s the use wasting energy trying to remember anything worse? 30825 Something new?"
30825The sign of the what?
30825Then I guess you''re not very rich, are you?
30825Then the Council decides that we shall turn down the judge''s proposition?
30825Then what did you let him take it for?
30825They went in a yacht called the_ Argo_, did n''t they, and the hunters called themselves the_ Argonauts_, was n''t that it?
30825Victim of science?
30825Want any help?
30825Want me to help fry?
30825Was n''t he the captain, or the first mate, or the vessel owner, or something, the time they went looking for the golden calf?
30825Was n''t that crab race the funniest ever?
30825Was n''t that fun?
30825Was there ever such a topsy turvy day as this?
30825We did n''t know it,said Antha,"but I do n''t think papa minds our digging it up, do you, Papa?"
30825We-- took-- her-- during-- the-- panic?
30825Well, Torch Bearer,she asked,"how goes the torch bearing?"
30825Well, was anything revealed to you during your fast?
30825Well, were n''t we at the Point of Pines, I''d like to know?
30825Were n''t you horribly frightened when the boat sprang a leak?
30825Were you scared when they took you off the boat?
30825What about us?
30825What about? 30825 What are the boys doing?"
30825What are we going to do now?
30825What are we going to do with Eeny- Meeny when we go home?
30825What are we trying to dig the blooming rock out for? 30825 What are you doing that for?"
30825What are you doing up there?
30825What are you doing, Cap?
30825What are you doing, Captain, admiring the view?
30825What are you reading?
30825What can the Dark of the Moon Society be, anyhow?
30825What can we do?
30825What did I ever do that I should have a war canoe named after me?
30825What did you dream about?
30825What did you wonder, my dear?
30825What do people usually do on such occasions? 30825 What do you think of them?
30825What does it say?
30825What exploded?
30825What for?
30825What happened?
30825What in the name of goodness are we going to do now?
30825What is it?
30825What is it?
30825What is it?
30825What is it?
30825What is it?
30825What is it?
30825What is the matter with me?
30825What is this?
30825What kind of sports are you, anyway? 30825 What made you so tired, boys?"
30825What on earth did you do?
30825What on earth is The Dark of the Moon Society?
30825What shall I do?
30825What shall we do?
30825What time is it?
30825What were you doing on the_ Huronic_?
30825What would they want with two fires, though?
30825What would we scream for?
30825What''s going to be the order of procession?
30825What''s going to begin?
30825What''s going to happen?
30825What''s happened to the sun?
30825What''s that floating out there in the lake?
30825What''s that?
30825What''s the difference? 30825 What''s the matter with the family this morning?"
30825What''s the matter with you?
30825What''s the matter? 30825 What''s the matter?"
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s the matter?
30825What''s this about Mr. Evans buying Lake Huron?
30825What''s this on the rock?
30825What''s this?
30825What''s up?
30825Whatever did you put it into that hole for?
30825Whatever is going to happen? 30825 Where are the boats?"
30825Where are we, anyway? 30825 Where are you going?"
30825Where are you going?
30825Where are you?
30825Where can he be?
30825Where can they be?
30825Where did it come from?
30825Where did they come from?
30825Where did you come from?
30825Where did you get all the worms?
30825Where do mooses stay when they are in the woods?
30825Where do those purple places come from?
30825Where do you suppose they are?
30825Where is she?
30825Where were you going?
30825Where''s Eeny- Meeny?
30825Where''s my toothbrush?
30825Where''s the bread knife?
30825Where? 30825 Where?"
30825Which boat did you take?
30825Which tent is she in?
30825Who is hiding Eeny- Meeny?
30825Who will be Jason?
30825Who will that be?
30825Who''s going to be Jason?
30825Who''s thinking about the end of the summer already? 30825 Why are you doing that?"
30825Why ca n''t we let well enough alone? 30825 Why ca n''t you have any fun?"
30825Why did n''t you let us know you were so near?
30825Why did n''t you swim to shore?
30825Why did n''t you tell us your father owned the land?
30825Why did you insist so on our coming, Gladys?
30825Why did you offer to lend me your money?
30825Why do n''t all four of you be chiefs?
30825Why do n''t you call another moose, Uncle Teddy?
30825Why not make Antha an''associate member''of the Winnebagos? 30825 Why, Katherine_ Adams_, what has happened to you?"
30825Why, where''s Eeny- Meeny?
30825Why----she exclaimed in bewilderment,"where is the sun?"
30825Will there be another?
30825Will we go?
30825Will we have to carry the canoe all the way back by land?
30825Will you have to go home right away?
30825Will you, Slim?
30825Wo n''t the war canoe look fine sweeping up the river?
30825Wo n''t we lead the others a fine chase, though? 30825 Would n''t she have looked great fastened on the front of the war canoe for a figurehead?
30825Would we be able to make it?
30825You are n''t hungry already, are you, Slim?
30825You did n''t get much of a war canoe, did you?
30825You do n''t see any of us lingering to admire the scenery, do you?
30825You mean sit up all night?
30825You mean the bodies of their dead? 30825 You remember the story of the Calydonian Hunt in the mythology book?
30825You will stay with us, Nyoda?
30825You''re not going home, are you? 30825 You''re sure you''re not offended at what I said?"
30825Your papa has done_ what_?
30825_ Now_ what are you crying for?
30825''I guess your papa ca n''t be very rich, is he?''"
30825Ah''clar to goodness----""What''s the matter up there?
30825Are n''t you all satisfied yet?"
30825Are n''t you really afraid?"
30825Are you going to bury him?"
30825Are you sure this is the Point of Pines?"
30825Besides, we''re not going to be out after dark, are we?
30825Bury those antlers, and that hide?
30825But where was the fortune?
30825But why were you looking so solemn?"
30825But, by the way-- what did you say was the name of the company that her father sank his money in?"
30825By the way, Mother, are you absolutely sure it was a moose and not a bossy cow you saw?"
30825By the way, what college did you say you were going to?"
30825By the way, what is the plural-- meece?
30825By the way, where''s Sahwah?"
30825CHAPTER XII ANTHA''S RESPONSIBILITY"Katherine, are you low in your mind again?"
30825CHAPTER XIII OUT OF THE STORM"Is there enough blue to make a Dutchman a pair of breeches?"
30825Ca n''t we come down and cheer you up?
30825Captain, how are we going to attract people''s attention?"
30825Did I miss the announcement?"
30825Did n''t she bring it to you?"
30825Did n''t the paper say''the present hot spell has broken all known records for June?''"
30825Did you ever hear of such generosity?"
30825Did you hear that?
30825Did you think the dough would rise of itself, like the sun?"
30825Do n''t you hear Sherry calling me?
30825Do n''t you like them?"
30825Do n''t you think that''s what''s been the trouble, Uncle Teddy?"
30825Do n''t you want to take her home with you, Katherine, for a good luck omen?
30825Do you happen to be acquainted with anyone who lost money in it?"
30825Do you happen to know of anything she would like to have particularly?
30825Do you suppose any of you could go?"
30825Do you suppose my secret lover would ever mistake my sweet voice for anyone else''s, once he heard it wafted in on the breeze?"
30825Does anyone else speak for Antha?
30825Does n''t it hurt your eyes to look through it?"
30825Does n''t it make you dizzy, though?"
30825Does n''t velvetine sound just as good as corduroy?
30825Evans?"
30825Go fishing with you this afternoon?
30825Has anything happened to change your plans about going to college?"
30825Have you forgotten what a cry- baby Antha was?"
30825He said,''Would n''t Katherine be a stunning looking girl if she carried herself better and was well dressed?''
30825How could she ever face Uncle Teddy again?
30825How did you ever do it?
30825How far did you say it was?
30825How will we find them?"
30825Is he very sick, Aunt Clara?"
30825Is it a true story?"
30825Is n''t she feeling well?"
30825Is that a fair proposition all the way around?"
30825Is there room for two more on that ledge?"
30825Is this the Point of Pines?
30825Just how are we going to get out of here?"
30825Katherine dear, have I hurt your feelings?"
30825May n''t we, Uncle Teddy?"
30825Now wo n''t you forgive us and introduce your guest?
30825Oh, Gladys, where can I get hold of that man who took you folks on that snowshoe hike last winter?"
30825Oh, mercy, what are they bringing us?"
30825Oh, what will we do?"
30825See him going there, along the shore?"
30825See the name painted on the bows?"
30825Slim, what''s the alternative?"
30825Tell me, is she having one now?
30825That I''ll stop being a joke?"
30825That is our launch, see the Stars and Stripes floating over the bow and the girls''green flag at the back?
30825The girls uttered a shriek of dismay, all except Katherine, who exclaimed in comical amazement,"What do you know about that?"
30825Two miles?
30825Was it a dream, a trick of the imagination?
30825What are you doing there anyway?"
30825What are you thinking of?"
30825What could have happened?"
30825What could it mean?
30825What could it mean?
30825What do you mean?
30825What does the Council say to acquiring a good pair of twins at a reasonable price?"
30825What happened?"
30825What kind of Winnebagos are you?
30825What more could be desired?"
30825What were the Hares doing out in boats, anyway?"
30825Whatever induced you to jump off the cliff in the dark anyway?"
30825When supper time came Aunt Clara called to Uncle Teddy:"Where are the eggs and bread and milk you brought from St. Pierre this morning?"
30825When the boat goes over Wo n''t there be a splash?
30825Where in the firmament did you come from?"
30825Where on earth did you come from?
30825Where on earth is the Point of Pines?"
30825Where would you go to look for a moose in the woods?"
30825Where?"
30825Who could have made it?
30825Who''ll be game?"
30825Why did n''t I take it away from the others?
30825Why do n''t you follow my example and stand under the hose?"
30825Why do n''t you go on?"
30825Will she be all right now, do you think?"
30825Will whoever it is please tell?"
30825Will you row out about forty feet,"he shouted to Gladys and Migwan,"and see if I can come out beside the boat?"
30825Wo n''t he be in a fine stew when he finds out he''s left it behind and has no boat to come back in?
30825Wo n''t that be fun?"
30825Wo n''t they get a shock, though, when they come to Eeny- Meeny?"
30825Wo n''t you take it from me, even if you wo n''t from the others?"
30825Would n''t it be great fun to name her Eeny- Meeny?"
30825Would there be any binnacles on it, do you suppose?"
30825Yes, where were they?
30825You do n''t mean to say that you''re worrying now about going home in September?"
30825You do n''t mind, do you, Hinpoha?"
30825You mean_ barnacles_, do n''t you?
30825You remember the saying about Mahomet and the mountain?
30825You''re just going straight over to St. Pierre and back?"
30825Yours has n''t any lockers, has it?"
30825called Mr. Evans, enjoying to the utmost the pleasure caused by the arrival of the big canoe,"now, where''s the crew?"
30825called Slim from the ground,"going to heaven?"
30825he exclaimed in astonishment,"what are you kids doing out on a night like this?"
30825said Aunt Clara to Katherine,"were n''t you frightened when you discovered it?"
30825will you please come quickly?"
