4020Can we meet them?
4020Can you rely on his word?
4020Could he have any, do you suppose?
4020Could n''t you try to reastralize them?
4020Dear little fellow, is n''t he?
4020Did he hear?
4020Did n''t you find him pretty solemn?
4020Did you blow them up yourself?
4020Did you get any?
4020Do n''t you really?
4020Do n''t you think,said Mr. Newberry,"I speak as a practical man, that we ought to do something to get the newspapers with us?"

4020How_ does_ he do it?
4020I hardly know,said Mr. Fyshe,"I imagine so"; and he added,"You''ve been in Nigeria, Duke?"
4020I say,he said,"are you going away?"
4020I say,said Mr. Spillikins, straining his short sight to the uttermost,"what perfectly wonderful golden hair, eh?"
4020I shall be delighted,said Miss Snagg,"but I''m afraid there''s hardly time to write them before we begin, is there?"
4020I wonder,called Mrs. Buncomhearst from the chair,"if some lady would be good enough to write minutes?
4020I''ve been thinking of it,said Mr. Furlong senior,"I suppose it''s feasible?"
4020In fact, Newberry, to speak very frankly, I begin to ask myself, Is Furlong the man for the post?
4020Inefficient?
4020Is Rasselyer- Brown with us?
4020Is he Scotch?
4020Is he better?
4020Is he dead?
4020Is he here for pleasure?
4020Is he married?
4020Is his power of speech gone?
4020Is it necessary to go into that?
4020Is it not possible that as a preacher you fail somewhat, do not, as it were, deal sufficiently with fundamental things as others do? 4020 Is it not?"

4020Is that carried?
4020Is that in Maine?
4020Is there any more of that jelly?
4020Just what does that mean?
4020Might it not be better simply to buy up the editorial staff?
4020Now tell me very truthfully,he said,"is there too much carbon in it?"
4020Now what special objects or purposes shall I indicate?
4020Oh, you mean commercially? 4020 Ought n''t we to go up to the house?"
4020Perfectly plain, is n''t it?
4020Personally a charming fellow,went on Mr. Fyshe;"but is he, all said and done, quite the man to conduct a church?
4020Say, dad,drawls Bob,"could n''t we all go to the ball game?"
4020Says his father is buried there, eh? 4020 Take it out?
4020The Duke arrived this morning, did he not?
4020The difference between a council and a board?
4020Think so?
4020Very sorry, sir,said the waiter,"shall I take it out?"
4020Well, well,said Mr. Newberry,"and will Dr. McTeague also resume his philosophical lectures at the university?"
4020Well, what''s wrong with him?
4020Well,said Mr. Newberry,"what about organization and officers?"
4020Well,said the wife of the Wizard as her husband finished looking through the reports,"how are things this morning?
4020Were you at St. Osoph''s Church on Sunday morning? 4020 What does the doctor say is wrong with Fred?"
4020What does wah mean?
4020What happened to those first samples? 4020 What is Mr. Dumfarthing getting where he is?"
4020What is it?
4020What is the stuff, anyway?
4020What the devil do you mean,he said,"by serving asparagus half- cold?"
4020What will he do now?
4020What''s that after his name?
4020What''s wrong with him?
4020What''s wrong with_ him_?
4020What?
4020What_ would_ you have done?
4020Where does it get its authority?
4020Who would these be?
4020Who?
4020Whose funeral is that?
4020Why do n''t you go down to Nagahakett on the Atlantic?
4020Why last night?
4020Why not?
4020Why, do n''t you see what''s happened?
4020Will it hold water?
4020Would it be all right to telephone down to the office, or do you think it would be better to ring?
4020Yes, did n''t you know?
4020You and Philippa used to have it at half- past seven, did you not? 4020 You are agreed, then, on the Reverend Uttermust Dumfarthing?"
4020You are quite sure,persisted Mr. Newberry,"about the governor and the others you mentioned?"
4020You are sure of this, are you?
4020You do n''t mind my telling you all about this Miss Philippa?
4020You do n''t,said Tomlinson the Wizard in a hesitating tone as he looked at the smooth grass of the campus,"I suppose, raise anything on it?"
4020You had thought, had you not, of offering it to the city?
4020You have actually seen the members of the legislature?
4020You have heard nothing?
4020You have heard our sad news, I suppose?
4020You would hardly, I think,said Mr. Furlong, with a quiet smile,"compare the Standard Oil Company to a church?"
4020_ Salted_ them on me?
4020''No,''I answered,''but will you at five?''
4020''Take your own case,''I said to him,''how is it that you, a coal man, are not helping the city in this matter?
4020*****"Are you inviting anyone else tonight?"
4020*****"Do you think they''ll go into it?"
4020*****"How''s Fred?"
4020*****"Is no one else coming then?"
4020*****"Is that legal, do you suppose?"
4020*****"Well,"said Dr. Boomer, after Tomlinson had left the university,"what do you make of him?"
4020*****"What is he doing?"
4020A day or two later Mr. Spillikins was saying,"I think Mrs. Everleigh must have had great sorrow, do n''t you?
4020After all, thirty cents is n''t much, eh what?
4020And at this tea Captain Cormorant said, among other things,"Did he kick up rough at all when you told him about the money?"
4020And here again it appeared that the crying need of the moment was for someone to come to the university and say,"Gentlemen, what can I do for you?"
4020And then, a voice called from the drawing- room within, in a measured and assured tone,"Peter, darling, where are you?"
4020And when presently a tall waiter in dress- clothes appeared, and said,"Jelly?
4020Are these powers conferred on you by the state legislature or by some higher authority?"
4020Are they any better?"
4020Are you aware, Edward, that you are losing money on your Foreign Missions Account?"
4020Belstairs?"
4020Boomer?"
4020But how?
4020But stop a bit,"he continued, checking himself;"what''s this?
4020But suppose we go and dress?
4020But what can I do?
4020But what is the difference between a council and a board?"
4020But when a girl can work out trigonometry at sight, what use can she possibly have for marriage?
4020But why should you?
4020Could it be that by some neglect in the preparations, the substitution perhaps of the wrong brandy, the astralization could not be effected?
4020Could n''t we hold a meeting of our own, all our own, to help the league along?"
4020Could you?"
4020Do n''t you see, my boy, that these things are debits?
4020Do n''t you see?
4020Do n''t you think that rather too late?"
4020Doc.?"
4020Dumfarthing?"
4020Had Mr. Fyshe, who knew nothing of art, expressed his real thought, he would have said,"Show me your which?"
4020Has anybody anything to say?"
4020He followed it usually just before breakfast with a bracer-- and what wiser precaution can a businessman take than to brace his breakfast?
4020How much do you want?"
4020I am only asking you, is it worth it?
4020I merely wish to show you certain-- shall I say certain opportunities that present themselves for the disposal of our funds?
4020I think she must have guessed, in a way, do n''t you, what I was going to say?
4020I thought that a pretty good sign, was n''t it?
4020If a man with a broad basis of popular support like that was proposing to entertain a duke, surely there could be no doubt about his motives?
4020If anyone were to come to me and say,''Boomer, can you put your hand for me on a first- class botanist?''
4020In short, when crystallized in dodecahedrons--""Is it any good?"
4020Is it a single corporate body?"
4020Is it worth it?"
4020Is that agreed?"
4020Is that agreed?"
4020Is that all you have with you?"
4020Is that carried?
4020It printed a coupon which said,"Are you out for a clean city?
4020May I just run in and use your telephone?
4020McSkwirt?"
4020Miss Snagg, I wonder if you would be kind enough to write minutes?
4020Mr. Rasselyer- Brown, of course, began the day with an eye- opener-- and after all, what alert man does not wish his eyes well open in the morning?
4020No doubt you felt this yourself?"
4020Now why do n''t you go for a month or two to some quiet place, where you will simply_ do nothing?_"( She never, as he knew, did anything, anyway.)
4020Now,''I said, for I wanted to test the fellow,''tell me what that means?''
4020Of course his game is clear enough?"
4020Osoph''s?"
4020Pretty big sale, eh, for a beginner like me?
4020Prunes?
4020Put him, for instance, beside Mr. Sikleigh Snoop, the sex- poet, and where was he?
4020So I think that looks pretty good, do n''t you?"
4020So what better man to meet a duke than an archaeological president?
4020Spiff?"
4020That is what you''ve come for, is it not?"
4020The other day, or at least about two months ago, at one of the Yahi- Bahi meetings-- you were not in that, were you?"
4020The question arises, what disposition are we to make of our accumulating funds?"
4020The_ Plutorian Times_ printed a dotted coupon on the corner of its front sheet with the words,"Are you in favour of Clean Government?
4020Tomlinson, tell me what all that means?''
4020Tomlinson?"
4020Two minutes later Mr. Fyshe was saying into the telephone,"Oh, is that you, Boulder?
4020Uttermust Dumfarthing"Well, then, gentlemen, I think we have all agreed upon our man?"
4020What did it bring them?
4020What do you think he wants to do?"
4020What do you think?"
4020What is it?
4020What more natural, therefore, than that Mr. Lucullus Fyshe, before serving the soda to the Duke, should try it on somebody else?
4020What visions, they asked, could one but read them, must lie behind the quiet, dreaming eyes of that inscrutable face?
4020When that bunch got interested and planned to float the company?
4020Who did they know that would take it?
4020Why do n''t you supply the city?''
4020Why not go to those lawyers that manage things for the company and get them to arrange it all for you with the college?"
4020Why?
4020Yahi- Bahi?"
4020Yes, sir, immediately, sir; would you like, sir, Maraschino, sir, or Portovino, sir?"
4020You ca n''t run a church that way, can you?"
4020You have n''t?
4020You would n''t let a chap carry round your slippers unless you knew him pretty well, would you, Miss Philippa?"
4020_ Nihil humunum alienum_, eh?"
4020and appealed to Mr. Tomlinson as to whether any rational man nowadays cared what Ammianus thought?
4020asked Mr. Fyshe of the university president,"will the newspapers be with us?"
4020be better?
4020but we shall see you at the musicale this afternoon, shall we not?"
4020but,"Have you seen his daughter?
4020eh?
4020he said a day later,"Mrs. Everleigh''s an awfully fine woman, is n''t she?
4020or at the opera,"Old man, do n''t let her see you looking, but do you see that lovely girl in the box opposite?"
4020repeated Tomlinson,"I suppose he ai n''t quite up to the mark in some ways, eh?"
4020said Mr. Fyshe,"do you think that quite fair to the bondholders?
4020said Mr. Spillikins;"it must be dangerous work eh?
4020said the Wizard;"is he sick?"
4020said the rector''s sister, as they moved off again,"did n''t you know?
4020what a fine- looking little chap, eh?
4020what?"
4020who''s that awfully good- looking woman getting out of the motor?"
4020you want a lot, do n''t you?
38472Alibi?
38472And after that do you remember the race for two- year- olds, and my theory that in an untried field the odds were all against the favorites winning? 38472 And what sized lots,"he asked,"are you going to trade in?"
38472And what was the first requisite for their plan? 38472 And what was the other paper he spoke of?"
38472And wheat,queried Brooks,"will go up?"
38472Anything else?
38472Are you all right?
38472Are you sure you have the right name?
38472Before you leave?
38472Blagden,he gasped,"what can we do?"
38472Blagden,said Mills solemnly,"do you care to know my genuine, sincere opinion of life in general?"
38472But how do I know,he objected,"when you will be going out there again?"
38472But how does she know,queried Mills,"that there is any secret?
38472But is it right,asked Decency,"to send someone else where you would not venture yourself?"
38472But why so eager about money?
38472Can you grasp it? 38472 Charming?"
38472Could I forget? 38472 Did you have any trouble getting away?"
38472Did you tell me in the cafà © you had a clew?
38472Do n''t you see? 38472 Do you deny that you would like to marry Miss Hamilton?"
38472Do you know Billy?
38472Forgotten them?
38472Good,was his brief comment; then added in a tone that was half a statement, half a query,"You''re not a professional chauffeur?"
38472Got a cigarette?
38472Have n''t you any way of finding out?
38472Have you made up your mind to that?
38472How do you know it is n''t?
38472How far will cotton decline?
38472How''s Liverpool?
38472Hullo, Jim,he hailed,"how are you?
38472I hope so,said Mills somewhat dubiously,"but ought n''t we to wait a while longer?
38472If he seemed to be a pretty smooth proposition, why do n''t you go in with him? 38472 If it''s necessary to see you again,"whispered Blagden,"what is your boat, and when does she sail?"
38472If you were only allowed to play every week or two, and in a very limited way, and under the direction of another person, would that satisfy you? 38472 Is he better?"
38472Is n''t that right, boys?
38472Is there any hope?
38472Mr. Bellingham,he asked earnestly,"do you imagine, sir, that this is true?"
38472Now who the dickens,he wondered,"can that be?
38472Now,she said,"is n''t it wonderful?"
38472Oh, pretty good,the chubby one answered, and pushing the bill of fare toward Atherton, he added,"Here, what will you have?
38472Oh, thanks,retorted Mills with unwonted asperity,"why do n''t you try it yourself?
38472Oh, was n''t it splendid?
38472Oh, well,Blagden retorted,"what do you expect?
38472One moment, Cyrus,he said courteously,"may I interrupt you?"
38472Prevented me from losing?
38472Quit?
38472Satisfactory references?
38472Shall I remain here, sir?
38472Shall we tell him, Tubby?
38472So you know her?
38472That sounds fine,Mills agreed,"but what kind of adventures are we going to have?"
38472The others will be here?
38472The question is,she said slowly,"what can you do best?"
38472Then you know,he said at length,"what the burglary was for?"
38472Then you think they''ll rally?
38472Then you''ll do it?
38472Was it in stocks?
38472Well, Jock,asked Bellingham,"how did Mr. Hamilton come out with Mr. McKay?
38472Well, well,Blagden greeted him,"how goes it, old scout?"
38472Well, what do you know?
38472Well,asked Mr. Hamilton,"how do you find him?"
38472Well,he queried,"what seems to be the big idea?"
38472Well,she queried,"do you believe me now?"
38472What could you have done?
38472What did he call it? 38472 What do you mean by that?"
38472What do you think of''em?
38472What the devil''s happened?
38472What the hell is this?
38472What''s a good stock to sell?
38472What''s up?
38472Where did you say you were going to trade?
38472Where''s this friend of yours? 38472 Who is it?"
38472Would you be kind enough, Marshall,he asked,"to read to us once more the statement showing our profits for the year?"
38472You need hardly have asked me that?
38472You saw it?
38472You''re a good driver?
38472You''re not forgetting our golf?
38472''The United Brotherhood of Down and Outs''?
38472''The holy of holies''?"
38472After all we''ve been through?
38472Again his hearers signified assent, and Bellingham, lowering his voice, continued,"Then what is the answer?
38472And after a pause, he added,"How could this man have known?
38472And are you happy?"
38472And at length, summoning all his courage, he asked,"If I should ask you a truthful question, would you give me a truthful answer?"
38472And besides, what does he gain?
38472And every so often he will say,''Would you like some pin money?''
38472And how has Fortune treated you?
38472And if they were n''t on the links, where were they?
38472And is he the only one, or will others come to tempt their destiny?"
38472And the second is, no matter where they were, what on earth were they doing?"
38472And then without wasting words, he added,"Why?
38472And what in the world is he after?
38472And with a deep- drawn breath she added imploringly,"Oh, is n''t there anything that you can do?"
38472And yet, reasoning from what we know, is n''t this the very time to be suspicious?"
38472Any adventure?"
38472Anything doing?"
38472Are we to understand that in the event of a decline in the market, you stand ready to deposit additional sums as we may require them?"
38472Are you at liberty this evening?"
38472Are you going up to him to ask the time of day, and then will you grab it and run?
38472Are you long or short?"
38472Are you willing to do that?"
38472As long as I keep my ten point margin good, why should you worry?"
38472At once he stepped forward, and asked,"Beg pardon, but may I help you?"
38472Atherton?"
38472But all I''m wondering is, how much lower will they go?
38472But for what purpose had he climbed the tree?
38472But how is all this going to make us rich?
38472But how, at this hour of the morning, was he to make his way to Bellingham''s room?
38472But on the level, Mr. Bellingham, do n''t it beat hell?
38472But the answer is: What''s the use?
38472But what''s the answer?
38472But why do you say that you''desire more?''
38472By cable?
38472By the way, what''s your name?"
38472Can you make anything out of his figures?"
38472Could the man be a burglar, with a confederate working in the house?
38472Did the whole world know his secret?
38472Do I make myself clear?"
38472Do n''t you understand?
38472Do you believe in God?"
38472Do you believe it?"
38472Do you care for him?"
38472Do you fellows believe it, or do n''t you?"
38472Do you get the idea?"
38472Do you know her, Atherton?"
38472Do you mind letting me tell you what they are?"
38472Do you remember that?"
38472Do you talk about a war between a boa- constrictor and a rabbit?"
38472Do you want this one?"
38472Do you want to drive me there?"
38472Does he make his profits in the same way that a conjuror extracts rabbits from a hat?"
38472Does it appear to be a kind of magic?
38472Easy?
38472For what purpose, and to whom?
38472Gentleman friend?
38472Had you forgotten?"
38472Has it occurred to your pure and youthful mind that the events of last night may have some bearing oh the situation?"
38472Have we been temperance advocates, preachers of the Gospel, haters of women?
38472Have you any real reason for thinking the market is n''t going up?"
38472Have you lived as you planned to live?"
38472Honestly now, can you beat it?"
38472How about it, Tubby; you would n''t do that?"
38472How about that?"
38472How about you, Tubby?
38472How are we going to get our money back?"
38472How can they connect us with him?"
38472How did you get along with the lovely lady?
38472How do you account for that?"
38472How had he come to play this game?
38472How had he dared, he wondered-- how did any of them dare-- to speculate in stocks?
38472How is it with you?"
38472How long, he wondered, had he been dreaming?
38472How much longer do you stay as chauffeur?"
38472How on earth does he stand it?
38472How then will they communicate?
38472I should like nothing so much as a fresh start, but can I get it?
38472I suppose he won, did n''t he?"
38472If I had met you six months ago, where would I be to- day?
38472If a good God ruled the world, why did he implant these fierce desires in the breasts of his children?
38472If she''s got such a good thing-- the tips, I mean, not the gentleman friend-- why is n''t she satisfied?
38472If we knew just what was going to happen to us, every day of our lives, where would the fun be?
38472In spite of himself, Mills felt as if the blood had ceased flowing in his veins, and his voice sounded thick and strained as he cried,"What''s this?
38472In the face of such a showing, do you maintain with seriousness that we may be termed ultra- conservative?"
38472In what possible way, after the strict precaution of years, had he and his associates thus betrayed themselves, or been betrayed?
38472Is Miss Hamilton engaged to be married, or anything like that?"
38472Is he rich?"
38472Is n''t that perfect?
38472Is n''t that so?"
38472Is n''t that stretching things beyond all reason?"
38472Is n''t that the long and short of it?"
38472Is n''t there some way, Blagden, by which I could go along the roofs and down by some other exit?"
38472Is she really so charming?"
38472Mr. McKay keeps his clubs in the machine, does n''t he?"
38472Mr. McKay on the links?"
38472Murderers, are n''t we?
38472No hard feeling, Blagden?"
38472Nolan rose at once, and as soon as they were safely out of earshot, Bellingham continued,"Look here, Jim, do you want to make some easy money?"
38472Now then, you fat guzzler, is n''t that fair?"
38472Now what is the sense in that?
38472Of course he''s a nervous wreck now, but who would n''t be?
38472Oh, and by the way,"he added, as the butler rose to go,"would you mind telephoning Saunders to saddle the bay mare?
38472Or is that too severe?"
38472See what''s happened to him now; do you suppose either of us is going to run into anything like that?"
38472Shall I tell him that you are here?"
38472So I ask you again, why the devil are you so afraid of his being harmed?"
38472So on the whole, Atherton, do n''t you think you''d better withdraw your opposition, and let us go ahead?"
38472So what the devil does it all mean, anyway?"
38472Some fool joke?"
38472Suppose a hundred men start speculating on the same day?
38472Surely not the Law?"
38472Telegraph?
38472Telephone?
38472That fortunes are made over night?
38472That settles number one; what''s number two?"
38472That''s conservative, is n''t it?"
38472That''s what the girl told me; do n''t you remember?
38472The lovely lady is interested in stocks and she has a-- what is the technical word in such cases-- friend, is n''t it?
38472The point is: What are we going to do next?
38472Then Atherton asked, still unbelievingly,"But why does she confide in you?
38472Then Blagden cried, triumphantly,"Did n''t I tell you fellows the truth?
38472Then comes the question: Are they going to win?
38472Then why, he reflected, should a person wish to climb a tree at this time of night?
38472Then, impelled by mere curiosity, he added,"Which is it this time, Martin?
38472Then, turning to Atherton, he asked,"How about you?
38472Then, yielding to a fleeting impulse, he added,"Where are you keeping the car now?
38472There was silence for a moment; then Blagden continued earnestly,"Tubby, if we are right, can you imagine what this is going to mean?
38472There''s no double cross to this?
38472To keep some kind of a watch, or lookout?
38472To signal?
38472Under such conditions, would you use bait?"
38472Was his whole life an open book?
38472Was it a real adventure?"
38472Was it fair?
38472We might have the knowledge but would we dare to use it?"
38472Were n''t you scared?"
38472What are we going to do?
38472What are we then?
38472What day is this?
38472What did they know of real conditions throughout the world?
38472What do you say, Atherton?
38472What do you say, Tubby?
38472What do you say?"
38472What do you suppose that means?"
38472What does the Bible say?
38472What handicap does Mr. Bellingham give you now?"
38472What on earth shall I do?
38472What shall we call ourselves?
38472What''s he going to be doing?
38472What''s his life to you?
38472What''s that?"
38472What''s wrong?"
38472What''s your opinion?"
38472When shall we meet again?"
38472Where can I get hold of you if I want you?
38472Where does it come from?"
38472Where is Martin?"
38472Where would be the romance, the thrill?
38472Who is this owner?
38472Whom do you designate as this owner of the stream?
38472Why did he change a world of joy and beauty into a hell of discontent?
38472Why did n''t you sell me a gold brick and be done with it?
38472Why did she pick out the one impossible story in the world?
38472Why do you ask?"
38472Why does she tell_ you_ her troubles?"
38472Why on earth ca n''t anyone beat it?
38472Why should he escape?
38472Will you remain neutral, and let Tubby and myself go ahead with this plan ourselves?"
38472You could n''t see a man to- night until he was right on top of you-- My God, what''s that?"
38472You have n''t forgotten those?"
38472You think, then, that he speculates with some sort of system?"
38472You''re not going to leak to the bulls?"
38472he asked anxiously,"Are they going lower?"
38472he cried, and advancing toward Mills, he demanded truculently,"What the devil are you doing here?"
38472he exclaimed,"do you mean you''re going to stop now?
38472she cried,"we are not talking of costumes; what do they matter?
47618''Afraid of-- Norah?''
47618''Am I a cynic?''
47618''And is your cousin willing to accept it from you, after-- that story?''
47618''Are boys always cruel, mamma?''
47618''Are you not afraid to talk of everything before your daughter?''
47618''Because a nail has come out of the wall?''
47618''But he will live?''
47618''But is Robert so accomplished as all this?''
47618''But tell me now, suppose you were guardian to orphans, what should you do with their money?
47618''But, mamma,''said Clara,''are you sure it is only that?
47618''But, then, why be a director at all?''
47618''Do n''t you see I dare n''t cry?''
47618''Do n''t you think,''she faltered,''that Francesca-- is-- almost too innocent and sweet?''
47618''Do you consider that you have the very lives of hundreds of people in your hands?
47618''Do you really object to Haldane as one of our shareholders?''
47618''Do you remember going to London once, Clara, and seeing your cousin, Norah Drummond?
47618''Do you see that?''
47618''Do you suppose the nail knew, Helen, or the bit of painted canvas?
47618''Do you think so?''
47618''Do you want to create a panic and a run upon us?''
47618''Does she read the papers?''
47618''Dr Maurice, what does this mean?''
47618''Drummond,''said the merchant, looking at him with a certain alarm,''are you sure you know what you are saying?
47618''Good God, what have you been doing with yourself?''
47618''Good heavens, what can you be thinking of?
47618''Has he fainted?''
47618''Have I said anything very clever, Mrs Drummond?
47618''Have you had the doctor?
47618''Have you nearly done, sir?''
47618''How can I help it?''
47618''How can they invent money?
47618''How can we tell?
47618''How do you know?
47618''How much can a man go through without being killed, I wonder?''
47618''How much have you to forgive him?''
47618''How much?''
47618''I can not tell you of worries that do n''t exist, can I?''
47618''I can see you whenever I like, so it is no novelty to me; while papa''s friends--''''Do you think they are papa''s friends?
47618''I suppose, then, we are justified in thinking anything that is bad of you, and ought not to trust you with a penny?''
47618''I wonder if I ever did?''
47618''I wonder if they will be as happy ten years hence?''
47618''If I lived:--_I am doing it, knowing._''God, God, what was it he had gone to do?
47618''If it was a man''s doing, what could we say bad enough?
47618''Indeed?''
47618''Is Mrs Drummond ill?
47618''Is he true, I wonder?''
47618''Is it money?''
47618''Is this the West- end?''
47618''May I come too, mamma?''
47618''May I read it, mamma?''
47618''Mr Burton,''he said,''what do you mean to do to vindicate Drummond?
47618''Mr Drummond has come in?''
47618''Much?
47618''Oh, who has done it-- who has done it?
47618''Perhaps you may think I was to blame in recommending such an investment of your money?''
47618''Robert, are you to be put upon this bank because you are an R.A.?''
47618''Shall you lose much?''
47618''Stephen, do you hear?
47618''Still?
47618''Suppose I were to eat_ you_?
47618''That is your cousin-- your director?''
47618''The fellow is rich,''said another:''do n''t you know what a favourite he is with all the dealers, and has been for ever so long?''
47618''The fellow who absconded?
47618''Then you will still go?''
47618''We all do that every day of our lives,''said Helen;''but what was there that specially vexed you, Robert?''
47618''What cheery looks?
47618''What d''ye mean by being late?''
47618''What fool can be coming now?''
47618''What good shall I get of it alone, and how can I let you live for weeks by yourself?''
47618''What has been going on to- day?
47618''What is that?''
47618''What is the matter?''
47618''What is the matter?''
47618''What story?
47618''What will all our losses matter if Stephen gets well?''
47618''What would you say to life in the country?''
47618''When I ca n''t have you, what else am I to do?''
47618''When did it happen?
47618''Where is there a better investment?''
47618''Where?
47618''Who could possibly blame_ him_?
47618''Who is to be in the dreary prison?''
47618''Who thinks of to- morrow?
47618''Who?--Drummond?
47618''Whom?
47618''Why do you sigh, and why do you shake your head?''
47618''Why should I care?''
47618''Why should a painter''s profession, which ought to be one of the noblest in the world, be obtruded upon the outer world at every step?''
47618''Will you come with me?''
47618''Will you have lunch, sir, before you go out?''
47618''Yes, it is a change, is it not?''
47618''You are quite chilly,''he said tenderly;''are you ill, Helen?
47618''You have heard from him?
47618''You have not seen, then, what is in the papers to- day?
47618''You have seen what they say?''
47618''You met him on the day he took his life?''
47618''You, Maurice?
47618A concern I was so much interested in-- by which I am myself a loser----''''Do you lose much?''
47618Ah yes; it is wretched for us; but what must it be for my poor cousin?
47618All these things are within the bounds of possibility, and if they happened, and we went to smash, as we should infallibly, what would Haldane do?''
47618Am I a brute to accept it, and take my own way?''
47618And how can I tell after this that I could even draw?
47618And they knew better about it than he did; and what check could there be upon them?
47618And were the pair of lovers new betrothed, who crossed their path now and then without seeing them, more blessed than the elder pair?
47618And what good would it do even if you could?
47618And why could not he, who had neither chick nor child, who had a house so much too big for him, why could not he take them in?
47618And why had not he done it?
47618Are they to live there?''
47618But how could she contradict him?
47618But these are the facts; what can you make of them?
47618But what did such covert insult matter?
47618But what would have been the good?
47618But where, where, and why this parting?
47618But why linger upon such a scene?
47618But, mamma, ai n''t you glad to get away from those men, and come in here to me?''
47618Ca n''t you turn round and speak to me?
47618Can I set you down anywhere?
47618Can you help me to that?
47618Could he leave them-- those two who had just left the door-- to struggle through the rest of life by themselves?
47618Could his wife have anything to do with it?
47618Could she bear to go back to it?
47618Could she have seen the papers, or heard any echo of their news?
47618Could that be true?
47618Could you hold the lamp for a moment, Helen?
47618Did Mr Burton''s heart glow with benevolent warmth as he paused, drawing up his greys, and looked at it, with all its windows twinkling in the sun?
47618Did he intend to be kind, or to insult the desolate woman?
47618Did he mean to carry it with him into the dark and silent country where he was going?
47618Did he tremble?
47618Did not God_ know_?
47618Did people still care for such things-- was it still possible that beauty and pleasantness remained in life?
47618Do n''t groan, Stephen; do you think I mind it?
47618Do you know what it is?''
47618Do you remember, Helen, that year when I was hung up at the ceiling?
47618Do you think it would be improved by a little heightening of those lights?''
47618Dr Maurice, do you know what I ought to do?''
47618For old friendship''s sake, for all the associations of their youth, would Drummond help him?
47618Half- a- dozen steps were enough to do it; but how to get back again?
47618He had come to consult him about something?
47618He stopped, and the suggestion flashed across him( whether out of his own mind, whether thrown at him by some mocking demon, who could tell?
47618He was much mortified and disappointed at this failure; but then in his humility he said to himself,''What does it matter now?
47618He was so worn out; and was it the grave- chill that was invading him already and making him shiver?
47618He was sure of it; but-- what to do?
47618He would do well enough-- what did it matter for a few weeks?
47618How can I tell?
47618How can any one tell?
47618How can you understand them?
47618How was he to know it was his wife and child?
47618How was she to bear it?
47618How was she to live when all was taken from her, even the support of her husband''s arm?
47618I must go-- and find him-- O my God, where am I to go?''
47618I should not have ventured to marry you if I had not hoped to make you a kind of princess; but you do n''t believe I can; do you?''
47618I suppose there are no villains now- a- days, like what there are in books?''
47618I suppose you prefer that I should tell you plain?''
47618I wonder if he is true?''
47618I wonder why it is that one likes a woman to be silly now and then?
47618If I go in with you, will your wife give me some lunch?
47618If every other man among them had been art and part in losing three thousand pounds, what could Robert say?
47618If he could have faced the world, why did he do_ that_?''
47618If it was so firmly established, so profitable, and so popular, why should the partners desire to share their good fortune with others?
47618Is Rivers''s in difficulties?
47618Is Rivers''s losing its position?
47618Is it not natural?
47618Is that all?''
47618Is there nothing-- nothing I can do?''
47618It is not for his life?''
47618It was still early; but what could they do down- stairs in the house which no longer retained a single feature of home?
47618May he come in?''
47618May n''t we?
47618Mr Burton, will she like it?
47618Must I go with you to- day?''
47618Must she not even think of him as in heaven, as hidden in God with the dead who depart in faith and peace, but gone elsewhere, banished for ever?
47618Not a thorough lady of art such as-- such as----Such as whom?
47618Oh why was it summer and the days so long?
47618Oh, show it me-- show it me!--am not I his wife?''
47618Oh, yes; where should we go else?
47618Once more, how much?
47618Poor Andrea''s Lucrezia, who ruined him?
47618Should you like to have her here?''
47618Tell me frankly, my darling-- do you dislike it so much as this?''
47618That comes better now?''
47618That''s the best guarantee I can give, do n''t you think?
47618The Haldanes?
47618The fears that overwhelmed her were ridiculous, no doubt; but amid the darkness and tragic gloom which surrounded her, what was she to think?
47618The mother''s second marriage had not been a success, but was Helen to blame for that?
47618The thing was, where was Robert to go?
47618The use of it?
47618Then why should he go on trying, proving, over and over, how much he could, and how much he could not do?
47618There was a twinkle in their eyes, and the''Do you remember?''
47618To- day he had begun to wonder why, if a sacrifice was needed, it should not have been him?
47618Was Robert the kind of man to be disturbed about business?
47618Was he a criminal?
47618Was he glad to have shaken off the bonds of Rivers''s, though they were golden bonds?
47618Was he mad?
47618Was he----drunk?
47618Was it because he had loved her once?
47618Was it damnation as well as death he was going to face?
47618Was it dissipation?
47618Was it farewell for ever, and ever, and ever?
47618Was it for ever?
47618Was it not enough that he had lost Drummond, his oldest friend, but he must lose the child too, whom he had watched ever since she was born?
47618Was it some concealed misery?
47618Was it with some premonition of what she should find when she came back?
47618Was she Lucrezia rather, the wife that goaded him into misery?
47618Was that all he could do?
47618Was that the Dives he had thought of, the soul in pain so wistful, so sad, yet scarcely able to despair?
47618Was that the reason?
47618Was that to be the spot?
47618What can God be thinking of, mamma?''
47618What can I do?''
47618What could be expected when you fellows who know nothing about money would interfere?
47618What could be making him so miserable?
47618What could have kept him so long?
47618What could he do to stop such a slander?
47618What could he do?
47618What could it mean?
47618What could she do, a feeble woman, against the men who had cast this stigma on her husband?
47618What could she do?
47618What could they know about it?
47618What did he go and do_ that_ for?
47618What did he mean?
47618What did that matter?
47618What distinction would it have given to Raphael or to Titian, or even to Gainsborough or Sir Joshua Reynolds, to be made directors of a bank?
47618What has happened?
47618What have you been doing?''
47618What have you heard?
47618What is the good of being unhappy about a thing I can not mend?
47618What is the meaning of it?
47618What is there wonderful in this?''
47618What is to be done for her education?
47618What more could a woman want to make her glad?
47618What was his elation about?
47618What was his motive, then?
47618What were they to him in comparison with herself?
47618What would Helen think of her bargain now?
47618What, then, could she say?
47618Where are you going?
47618Where had he gone?''
47618Who has seen him?''
47618Who must I give them to?
47618Why are they so sad in summer, those lustrous stars?
47618Why ca n''t he judge for himself?
47618Why did he destroy those evidences which would no doubt have cleared him had he acted fairly and honestly?
47618Why do n''t you call the shareholders together and tell them if anything is wrong?''
47618Why do we stop in this record of trouble to babble about sunset skies and running waters?
47618Why do you require to go hat in hand to any governor?
47618Why should I bother myself about it?''
47618Why should he so wear his heart upon his sleeve?
47618Why should it ever come to an end?
47618Why should we speak so?
47618Why, then, did her cousin show such high spirits?
47618Would it be honourable for him to give up following his advice now, especially in a matter which he had so much at heart?
47618Would she see him?
47618Would the money ever be paid back that he had got so easily?
47618Would to- morrow ever come?
47618You could say, I know, a great deal more than that; but what does it matter without proof?
47618You heard what he said?''
47618You kind, dear souls, do you think those cheery looks you have made such work to keep up, deceive me?''
47618You know Golden, Drummond?
47618You were in yourself, I believe?
47618You will say what can I do?
47618_ Drummond!_ What does it mean?''
47618_ Why_ was he not a Raphael, a Titian?
47618are you mad?
47618are you mad?
47618because he was fond of her still?
47618because she was his relation?
47618but what does it matter what you put in if they like it?
47618have you been drinking?
47618how dare you take such a liberty when you knew who was with me?''
47618is n''t it from papa?''
47618is there anything wrong?
47618oh, what is the matter?''
47618said Robert,''what have you been doing?
47618she said, clasping her hands,''must we bear it?
47618was it his doing?
47618what can we do?
47618when his worst begins to come, what will become of us?''
47618where is he?''
47618where is he?''
47618where was he going?
47618where?
47618who was he that the world should take his word for it?
47620''A sign of what?''
47620''And everything is ready?''
47620''And so poor Haldane gets no better?
47620''And what do you think they are made of, Ned, to dare to say such a thing to me?
47620''And, mother, do you believe all this?
47620''Are we to let him go-- to save him that he may ruin others?
47620''At the pictures?''
47620''Better than here, do n''t you think?
47620''But Jane, Jane, if any one has got in?
47620''But are you sure it is safe?
47620''But you do n''t say anything?''
47620''Can I go home?
47620''Clara, what o''clock is it now?''
47620''Did I?
47620''Did you speak, sir?
47620''Do n''t you want me, mamma?''
47620''Do you know what punishment means, when you make yourself the instrument of it?
47620''Do you like this man Golden, mother?''
47620''Do you think I blame you?
47620''Do you think I forget that?''
47620''Do you?
47620''Does n''t it, dear?
47620''Does the man think I am such a fool as to be afraid of him?''
47620''Dr Maurice, what do you mean?''
47620''Father,''said Ned,''is Mr Golden aware that the lady he is speaking of is our relation-- and friend?
47620''Had my father anything to do with this?''
47620''Has Mr Golden anything to say to your business?''
47620''Has any one come, Susan?''
47620''Have you any authority to go into my house?
47620''He is hiding here,''said Stephen,''and policemen outside?
47620''Helen, is it you?
47620''How can_ we_ argue the question?''
47620''How can_ you_ tell?''
47620''How did you avoid it, Norah, if you were neither angry nor stiff?''
47620''I wonder who she is?
47620''Is it you, Norah?''
47620''Is n''t it, Ned?''
47620''Is that the only question?''
47620''Mother, has this been in your mind, while I have been thinking you took so little interest?
47620''Mother, if there is a possibility of disgrace, how can I, how can any of us, escape from it-- and more especially I?
47620''Mother,''said Ned,''can I get your candle?
47620''Mr Burton,''she said,''what are you doing here?''
47620''Mrs Drummond, can you give me ten minutes?
47620''My dear Miss Burton,''he said, in an undertone, which however Ned could hear,''did n''t I tell you there was danger?
47620''Ned, is there any sacrifice I can make that will induce you to go away?''
47620''Ned, you have heard of poor papa, my father, who died before we came here?
47620''Norah, where will you go?
47620''Oh, what does my wish matter?''
47620''Oh, where can mamma be?
47620''Tell me, what is his connection with us?''
47620''Tell me,''she said, repeating her question almost without knowing what she said,''why are you here?''
47620''The only thing is, will my dress do?''
47620''Then the news had not come,''he cried, with a certain relief;''nobody knows as yet?
47620''To go away?''
47620''To stop-- what?''
47620''Was that all you intended me for?''
47620''Well?''
47620''Well?''
47620''Were you at the opera last night?''
47620''Were you fond of dancing yourself, Miss Jane?''
47620''What business have they, I''d like to know, in a lady''s house at this hour of the night?''
47620''What can we do-- what can we do?''
47620''What can we do?
47620''What could I do?''
47620''What did he say to you, mamma?''
47620''What do you mean, Ned?''
47620''What has given you so sudden an interest in my business, I should like to know?
47620''What have the securities of life mattered to the others, who had no connection with-- with my father?
47620''What have they done to you, Robert?''
47620''What is it to you,''he said,''if I am employed to take Miss Burton to her father?
47620''What is it?''
47620''What is the truth, as you call it?''
47620''What other question can there be, Mr Haldane?
47620''What shall I do?
47620''What truth?''
47620''Where, Ned?''
47620''Who is that?''
47620''Why must I dance?''
47620''Why should they look at each other?
47620''Why should you apologise, Mr Rivers?
47620''Why, mother?''
47620''Will you keep near the house?''
47620''You will go, mamma?''
47620''_ You_ want me, do you, child?''
47620After a while, Norah, nestling like a little bird in the dark, said softly,''Do you mind sitting without the lamp?''
47620All Dura had remarked upon it before now; all Dura had wondered, did the parents see it?
47620Am I obliged to let you in?
47620And how could I let the place Norah had been brought up in-- the place I love-- go to other people?
47620And how was he now to go away and seek another refuge?
47620And may I ask if I were to accept this splendid offer of yours, what would you expect as an equivalent?
47620And then she asked herself in dismay, what would have happened when poor Ned came?
47620And then the question returned, What was to be done?
47620And what did it all mean?
47620And what do you want?''
47620And who could the lady be who was with him?
47620And, oh, how can I go after Clara and leave the girls?''
47620And, oh, what do you mean walking about outside like that, as if you knew nobody here?''
47620Are you all alone, my own darling?
47620At last--''Are you Robert Drummond?''
47620But now they are going to take you away from me, and when, when shall I see you again?''
47620But still Norah asked,''What can we do?
47620But to eyes that danced so, and cheeks that glowed so, what could any mother say?
47620But what was to be done?
47620But why from Golden, he asked, a man whom he hated?
47620By times Helen would sit in the familiar room, and ask herself was it_ now_--the present-- or was it the past which had come back?
47620Can I be of any use to you?''
47620Can it be you?
47620Could I help you to keep things straight, save you from being cheated?--do anything for you?
47620Could it all be undone?
47620Could it be true?
47620Could it float away like a tale that is told, that tale of seven long years?
47620Could it have been done on purpose?
47620Could n''t I serve you instead of him?
47620Dear, ignorant reader, perhaps you do not know what this means?
47620Did n''t you say that one meets everybody at the Academy, mamma?''
47620Did you mean, upon some hypothetical engagement, whatever you may happen to get, to support a wife-- and me?''
47620Do n''t you think Clara Burton is looking quite beautiful to- night?''
47620Do people behave so naturally?
47620Do you care-- a little for me?
47620Do you know that you are in my power?''
47620Do you mean to suffer her to be so spoken of in your house?''
47620Do you mean,''said Norah, faltering and trembling,''do you mean that this means-- Is it-- being engaged?''
47620Do you really think it is safe?
47620Do you think I am too old to manage it for myself?''
47620Do you think it is right?
47620Dr Maurice kept an eye upon him, wondering, as Helen had done, Did he mean anything?
47620For was not Robert dead, dead, buried under the cold river, seven years ago?
47620For why should Ned be disturbed by a thing which did not concern him, and which had happened so long ago?
47620Had anything happened?--was she dreaming?
47620Had it come to this?
47620Had not she read about such wiles a thousand times?
47620Had she a heart at all?
47620Have you a warrant?''
47620Have you forgotten you are speaking to-- Robert''s wife?''
47620Have you money?''
47620He asked himself, as Norah had done when Mr Rivers left her at the door of the Academy''s Exhibition, was this natural?
47620He cared so little for it-- was that why the stream of fortune came to him?
47620He had to decide, decide, decide in a moment how it should be inaugurated, by mercy or by judgment-- by the sin( was it not a sin?)
47620He looked at Helen with dull wonder, and asked under his breath--''''Did you know?''
47620He supposed the fellow was happy like that, now?
47620He was an honest old man, and a kind, but what kind of a strange being was this whom he had nourished so long in his heart?
47620He would stop her and say,''What does that mean?''
47620How am I to get him out?''
47620How can I get him away?''
47620How could he tell who might be about, or what Golden''s feelings were towards him?
47620How could she lay sins to this man''s charge, who was not great enough in himself to frighten a fly?
47620How dare you over- persuade a child like that?
47620How much, she wondered, would she have to suffer?
47620How old is Mrs Drummond?
47620How old may this lady be?''
47620How should she find him?
47620How should you find that suit your plans, my fine gentleman Ned?''
47620How were they to suppose Mr Drummond would?
47620I am on the shady side of fifty, though not very far gone; and you are-- about forty, I suppose?''
47620I never intended to be a burden on you; but even without that----''''What have I done, mother, that you should speak to me so?''
47620I suppose, now, when you see out of the carriage window somebody you know walking, it does not make you proud?''
47620I wonder if he has been to Dura?
47620I wonder what they are doing here at this hour?
47620If he should try to keep you from me--''''Oh, Ned, do you mean that this means anything?
47620If she had sent him away then with contumely, how much more now?
47620If this is so, what can you think of yourself, who never try to restrain or to remedy?--who never made an attempt to retrench or save a penny?
47620In her heart she wondered at his simplicity, at the folly of his hopes; but what was the use of saying anything?
47620Is it just?
47620Is it possible?
47620Is it the way of the world?
47620Is it true?''
47620Is it very late?''
47620Is n''t it enough for us to care for each other-- to be the very best, dearest friends?''
47620Is that all?''
47620Is there anything as I can do for you?''
47620Is there to be no punishment for him?''
47620It is not for Norah''s sake?
47620Listen; that is what you call comfort for a ruined man, is it not?''
47620Look here, Helen Drummond, why should n''t you and I, if it comes to that-- marry?
47620Monsieur est- il chez lui?
47620Must it be told?
47620Must not those suffer who have done the wrong?''
47620Must she acknowledge before the world that all had been in vain?
47620My consent to some wretched marriage or other, I suppose, allowance doubled, home provided, and my blessing, eh?
47620Ned, what must we do?''
47620Oh, Ned, Ned, why have you come here?''
47620Oh, Ned, how could you?
47620Oh, Norah, what could it mean else?
47620Oh, are you not afraid to tire out my patience?
47620Oh, what shall I do?''
47620Oh, will you let me stay with you?
47620One picture-- was there any other in the place?
47620Out with it-- how much was the equivalent to be?''
47620Papa, what are you going to do?''
47620People might not, perhaps, say there was anything absolutely wrong between us-- Pray may I ask what you are laughing at?''
47620Rivers?''
47620She looked in his face wistfully; but now the opportunity was over, and what could he say?
47620She was sure; and what did it matter what any one said?
47620She will marry, and then what shall we do?
47620She, Robert''s spotless wife, his faithful widow-- to whom was she going?
47620Should she have to go to him?
47620Should she see any of those old faces?
47620Should such a scoundrel get off, when innocent men had so bitterly suffered?
47620Should they go back to Clapham?
47620Tell me first, while we are alone and can speak freely, what can I do?''
47620That is, let me see, how long ago?
47620That was not what you invited us for, surely, Dr Maurice?
47620The only thought of which she was capable was-- Is everybody like that?
47620The other-- had she any interest in it?
47620The road was quieter than usual; no one in sight; and with his hat so over his eyes, who could recognise him?
47620The very fact of her entertainments and splendours would be so much evidence that she knew nothing about it-- and indeed what did she know?
47620Then pray how is she to live?''
47620Then the butler came timidly to ask should they shut up?
47620Thus the good soul sat and talked, while Helen listened to every sound, and wondered where was he now?
47620Was he contemplating the idea of a wife young enough to be his daughter?
47620Was it him she was thinking of?
47620Was it his laugh that sounded like something infernal?
47620Was it into Hades, into the everlasting darkness, that she had followed her lost, as Orpheus followed Eurydice?
47620Was it mere caprice on her part?
47620Was it not natural that she should reconsider it, now that she found how little interest he took in the matter?
47620Was it possible that thus strangely, thus suddenly, she was to meet him again from whom she had been so long parted?
47620Was it possible?
47620Was it real?
47620Was it the old drawing- room she had lived in yesterday?
47620Was it this man''s voice?
47620Was mamma ever cruel?
47620Was she praying?
47620Was that the story, written in ruin, written in tears?
47620Was there ever anything so strange?''
47620We are not afraid of her, Clara, are we?''
47620What am I to her?
47620What are you crying about, Miss Jane?
47620What can_ you_ do-- a child?
47620What could he be going to talk about?
47620What could she do but render herself extremely unhappy, and spoil the comfort of others without doing them any good?
47620What did Mrs Burton mean by permitting it?
47620What did it mean?
47620What did it mean?
47620What did she care for his news?
47620What did the man mean?
47620What has happened?''
47620What has he done?''
47620What have I done?''
47620What have you done that I should help you?
47620What if Norah should not''take to''the new father-- the stranger who yet was so truly her own Robert of old?
47620What manner of man was it who said he was her Robert, who wrote as Robert wrote, who had called her to him, with the force of absolute right?
47620What relief could it afford her to know that another suffered too, and that other her son?
47620What shall we do?''
47620What shall we do?''
47620What then?
47620What was it Clara was going to do?
47620What was it?
47620What was the good of fighting against them?
47620What were his dark eyes, his speaking glances, his skilful inference of a devotion above words, to her?
47620What will she do?''
47620What would her mother say?
47620When we did not remark upon it, why should you?
47620Where is he now?
47620Where is the fly?
47620Where was Helen?
47620Where was he-- he who had stretched out his hands to her in the depths of despair, from hell, from across the Atlantic, from-- where?
47620Where was he?
47620Where was she?--in St Mary''s Road, in the old days before the studio was built?
47620Who are you?
47620Who was it that had said this close to him, so that the very air repeated and repeated it, whispering it in his ear?
47620Whom should she meet?
47620Whom was she going to meet?
47620Why should I avoid you, Mr Rivers?
47620Why should I?
47620Why should Ned be brought home?
47620Why should he be involved in trouble he has nothing to do with?
47620Why should he go to the Gatehouse?
47620Why should he go?
47620Why should he trouble himself about that?
47620Why should n''t you come?
47620Why should she be ashamed of being interested in Cyril''s mother?
47620Why should she read them?
47620Why, he asked himself, should he go to the village?
47620Will you let me take you to it?
47620Will you tell me frankly whether a fellow like me, trained so differently, would be of real use to you?
47620Would he whom it concerned ever return?
47620Would it ever be of any use to her?
47620Would the old assimilate with the new, and the widow become a wife again without some wrench, some convulsion of nature?
47620You are not angry?
47620You have said_ they_, speaking of this man''s infamous----Was my father concerned?''
47620You promise?
47620You would never have the heart to cast me off now?''
47620am I in the way of making such jokes?
47620and oh, what will all their grandeur do for them, with Ned at the other end of the world, and Clara throwing herself away?''
47620but what of that?
47620do n''t hate me for saying it-- what would you do?''
47620do n''t you know me?
47620do you think it is right?''
47620do you?
47620have they brought you here because of all this trouble?
47620he asked himself; had she a conscience?
47620he said sullenly;''what have I to do with it?
47620he said, trembling;''will you stay with me here?
47620how can you, you who are only a boy, be half sorry enough?''
47620how much shame should she have to bear?
47620is this what it has all come to?
47620not just because you are sorry?
47620of helping the escape of a criminal, or by the righteous deed( where was it said that this might be a sin too?)
47620or had he really the good sense to think of a woman about his own age?
47620or should he take his poor child away somewhere for''change of air''?
47620that her husband was a fugitive, her daughter the victim of a scoundrel, her family for ever crushed down and trampled in the dust?
47620the following question:''By the way, what could Golden be doing at Turley Station, seven miles from Dura, at four o''clock in the morning?
47620to visit him in his prison?
47620was he a prisoner?
47620was master to be expected?
47620was this the way of the world?
47620what am I to do?''
47620what can I say to you?
47620what can we do?''
47620what did he mean?
47620what if she had not refused?
47620what might be coming upon her?
47620what might be happening?
47620why have you come here?''
47620will you go with me, back to New York?
47620you do n''t mean to say that you have come here alone?''
47620you do n''t see it?
47620you do n''t think I could have the heart to cross you?
47620you who are so much wiser than I am-- you are going to let yourself be guided by me?''
40797A deal? 40797 A design of yours?"
40797Ah, what have you done?
40797Alice and I feel as if we had been having the influenza-- don''t we, dear? 40797 Alice, shall we save up our money and buy a little toy yacht?
40797All I say to you seems nothing more than platitude, perhaps?
40797All right; but why be personal? 40797 All these fine people?"
40797An actor? 40797 And Jack-- what am I to say to Jack?"
40797And are n''t we getting on rather quick?
40797And as a shareholder?
40797And do you know that you are speaking of my brother?
40797And how about lies? 40797 And if I choose to call Berkshire the Malay Archipelago,"said Kit,"who is to stop me?"
40797And if it is the wrong sort of person?
40797And is this bounder going to make you and Jack very rich?
40797And my duties?
40797And shall we all make our fortunes?
40797And since when have you become your sister- in- law''s keeper in this astounding manner?
40797And so you are going to chance the mine going still higher?
40797And the mines?
40797And what do they make of toothache?
40797And what next?
40797And what proof have I of the truth of what you say?
40797And who is coming? 40797 And will it be that which killed her?"
40797And will you help me?
40797Are you ill, Kit?
40797Are you never serious?
40797Are you quarrelling with me?
40797Are you ready, Jack?
40797Are you sure?
40797At what?
40797But Bayreuth was very fatiguing,she went on;"or is it Beyrout?
40797But I may have this dance?
40797But can you really think I should be so tragic an ass as to come to you with my mere assertion that I did not cheat? 40797 But do n''t you see?"
40797But for ever, till the end of one''s life?
40797But is n''t it stupid of me? 40797 But it is interesting, is it not?"
40797But the telegram?
40797But what do you suppose they will find out at the inquiry?
40797But what else are we to do?
40797But why do you do as I wish, Toby?
40797By tendency I mean the direction in which they are advancing?
40797By the way, I hope, my dear fellow, that your wife is better?
40797By the way, how is Lily?
40797Can you meet me to- morrow morning at my rooms, St. James''s Street?
40797Detectives? 40797 Did Alice Haslemere lend you some?"
40797Did n''t you find that rather tedious?
40797Did she tell you that?
40797Did that fellow give you five thousand a year as director?
40797Did you ask her?
40797Did you come here in order to quarrel with me?
40797Did you go to Naples?
40797Did you go with one of Cook''s tours?
40797Did you say Jack refused to see you?
40797Did you think I should throw you over?
40797Different? 40797 Do n''t flirt, you mean?"
40797Do n''t you see what I mean?
40797Do you dislike anyone, Toby?
40797Do you know him?
40797Do you know the man?
40797Do you like London?
40797Do you mean I must renounce the world, and all that?
40797Do you mean to say that you are liable to be called on by any City editor, and made to give him money not to crab the mine?
40797Do you mean you left him lying there?
40797Do you mean you pay me five thousand pounds a year out of your own purse?
40797Do you really suppose Jack would really mind?
40797Do you shrink from me? 40797 Do you think it will go higher again?"
40797Do you think she is very bad?
40797Drink?
40797Golf?
40797Good- evening, Jack,he said;"are you coming to the Tauntons''?
40797Had a nice dip?
40797Has his lordship gone out?
40797Have n''t the people who stay at this hotel ever seen people before? 40797 Have you got a little nest- egg, dear?"
40797Have you seen this?
40797He''s a real worm, is he?
40797How did you get that three thousand pounds?
40797How is Lady Conybeare?
40797How is she?
40797How is that?
40797How is the mine man?
40797How is who?
40797How long are you going to stop here?
40797How much have you made, Jack?
40797How much money do you want, Kit?
40797How much?
40797How sixpence? 40797 I always thought a deal meant something rather questionable?"
40797I see,said Lily;"but if you had, you would lend it him?"
40797I suppose middle- class people would think us wicked?
40797I think you talked it over with Lady Haslemere?
40797I,he asked,"on a board of mining directors?
40797In the world? 40797 Indeed?
40797Is Comber there?
40797Is lunch ready, Poole? 40797 Is n''t it too terrible?"
40797Is n''t it? 40797 Is that my habit, dear?"
40797It is really a big thing then?
40797It shall be so, Toby?
40797Jack in anguish?
40797Jack, will you or will you not leave the whole matter in my hands-- the whole matter, you understand-- without interference?
40797Kit coming to see you? 40797 Kit, will you be serious a minute?"
40797Lady Conybeare has started?
40797Lily, do you think she will die?
40797Lily,he said,"will you not tell me who it is who wants to borrow money from you?
40797Lord Evelyn? 40797 Lots; but which?"
40797Madrigals?
40797May I ask why?
40797May I have the pleasure?
40797Miss Murchison is not delicate?
40797Money-- who cares? 40797 My dear Alington, what have you been doing?"
40797My duty?
40797Now why?
40797Now will you allow me to speak with your own frankness? 40797 Oh, Jack, what is it?"
40797Oh, Jack, what is the use of saying that?
40797Oh, that''s the game, is n''t it, where you dig a sandpit, and then hit the ball into it and swear? 40797 Or condole?"
40797Or crab?
40797Put the lights out, William,she said,"or is it Thomas?"
40797Really I am quite sorry to leave; I have got quite attached to my dear little room, and do n''t you think it''s rather pretty? 40797 Rome is delightful, is it not?"
40797Shall I unseal what I have written, and put a postscript saying you wish it to be understood that so much interest is charged on a loan? 40797 Shall we go on to the balcony?"
40797Shall we have coffee there as usual, Lady Conybeare?
40797She did n''t happen to say by what train she was going to arrive to- morrow?
40797She is to understand that I saw nothing?
40797She is very ill?
40797Slow? 40797 Supposing I refuse to apologize?"
40797Supposing it is a real smash, will you have lost much, Jack?
40797Ted Comber? 40797 Tendency in what line?"
40797That happens to be your opinion, does it?
40797That will surely be periphrased in the accounts, wo n''t it?
40797The bank? 40797 The first what, and the second what, Kit?"
40797The outline of the plot, Jack?
40797Then why do you come?
40797Then why, if the papers were correctly informed, did you go on buying last night?
40797Then will you, Toby?
40797There will be an inquiry into the matter?
40797Think of his face,she cried,"if I just send a note!--''DEAR TOBY: How does Stanborough suit you and your_ fiancée_?
40797This sort of thing, do you mean?
40797Threw them what?
40797To the where?
40797Toby, can you lie?
40797Toby, speaking purely in the abstract, what do you do if a man wants to borrow money from you?
40797Very poor, and who made it? 40797 Was Miss Murchison with you?"
40797Was he much hurt?
40797Was it not so, Lady Conybeare? 40797 Was it not?
40797Was n''t it awfully slow?
40797Was n''t it? 40797 Was that all she said?"
40797Well?
40797Well?
40797Well?
40797What about Tom?
40797What am I to do?
40797What are you going to do?
40797What are you going to propagate to- day?
40797What can I say to you?
40797What had he come for?
40797What has happened?
40797What is his name?
40797What is it?
40797What is it?
40797What is it?
40797What is the matter? 40797 What is the matter?"
40797What you and Lady Haslemere saw,he went on--"did your husband suspect me too?
40797Whatever do you want Tom Abbotsworthy for?
40797When did I not behave nicely to you?
40797When did you last do your duty, Kit?
40797Where is Jack?
40797Where? 40797 Which do you advise?"
40797Who are the Christian scientists?
40797Who is that dancing with Lady Conybeare?
40797Who is that?
40797Who is to be there?
40797Who sent the telegram about the strong support in Australia?
40797Who was the happy lady?
40797Who? 40797 Whom?"
40797Why do you suppose Jack goes to the House whenever there is a Church Bill on? 40797 Why else should he refuse to see you?"
40797Why not? 40797 Why not?
40797Why not? 40797 Why not?"
40797Why try the cynical_ rôle_? 40797 Why, for instance, do you suppose that I went down to the wilds of Kensington and opened a bazaar, as I did this afternoon?"
40797Why, please?
40797Why? 40797 Why?
40797Why?
40797Why?
40797Will my lord grant the request of his handmaiden?
40797Will you see Jack?
40797Wo n''t that be rather unpleasant if they get into salaries?
40797Wo n''t you go and see her?
40797Wo n''t you have an ice or something, Miss Murchison? 40797 Would you if he was dying, or if you were?"
40797Would you this day fifty years?
40797Yes, is n''t it sweet of me?
40797Yes, she plays divinely, does she not?
40797You do n''t like pipes, I think?
40797You do n''t understand, my dear Conybeare, do you?
40797You find people amusing?
40797You have heard the news, Kit?
40797You have made her a present of it?
40797You have seen it? 40797 You mean it is a certainty for me?"
40797You noticed something?
40797You paid him?
40797You think people have less_ tout à fait_ in America?
40797You were in luck as well as I, were you not, Jack?
40797A paper gives an opinion; what matter whose-- mine or the editor''s?
40797About the baccarat, what were you saying?"
40797Alington?"
40797Alington?"
40797Alington?"
40797And after that what?
40797And an heiress, is she not?"
40797And did you get all those great purchases of yours home safely?
40797And do n''t you find a hotel quite intolerable?"
40797And has Toby been making himself pleasant, Miss Murchison?
40797And is there anyone else coming down here before I go on Wednesday, or shall we have a nice little no- place- like- home all by ourselves?"
40797And supposing he tells me Kit did n''t write to me?
40797And the certainty of last night is still a suspicion to- day?"
40797And the wrong I have done to-- to your unborn child, what of that?"
40797And was your talk satisfactory?"
40797And what did his lordship think about the treatment of the trouser?
40797And what did you talk to Lord Evelyn about, dear?
40797And what have I done for her?
40797And you dislike that sort of inspection?"
40797Are you going to take a hand in them?"
40797Are you willing to learn as much about mines?
40797Besides, how often has she seen you?
40797Besides, what does that matter?
40797Besides, who in their senses would not prefer to live delicately than to dodge detectives?
40797Braid on the outside of the leg, or not?
40797But fear it?
40797But how can I know from what it springs?
40797But if it''s not Casabianca, who is it?"
40797But what evil genius prompted you to put a turquoise in a russet tie?"
40797But what will happen to me if the shares do not go up?"
40797But what would you say, Lord Abbotsworthy, was the main tendency of the upper classes in England?"
40797But what,"he added,"do I get by it?"
40797But why, why keep it up with me?
40797But, Lily, what is to be said on either side?
40797By what right, if you please?"
40797Can not you forget pain, risk, danger of death, even in that?
40797Come, Lady Conybeare, by what right do you make an enemy of me?"
40797Desperate?
40797Did it ever occur to you, Toby, that you have married the nicest girl that ever breathed?"
40797Did you enjoy yourself, Lily?"
40797Did you not hear?
40797Did you suggest it?"
40797Do n''t you know the kind?
40797Do n''t you think it is good?"
40797Do n''t you wish you had?"
40797Do they expect Berkeley Street to come to them?"
40797Do you call it a deal?"
40797Do you expect Carmel will go higher?"
40797Do you go to the Hungarian ball to- night?
40797Do you really believe that, Kit?"
40797Do you see that he has been buying every share he can lay hands on?"
40797Do you suppose Jack remembers the grouse he killed yesterday?"
40797Does n''t Tennyson speak of the''bar of Marie Antoinette''?
40797Does not all in you that you know to be best point one way?
40797Eh?"
40797Else, what happens to social and festive meetings?
40797Got anything for me to say?"
40797Had we better go and pat him on the back?
40797Half- past eight, is n''t it?
40797Half- past two; is it really?
40797Have I ever made this wicked, difficult business of life any easier for her?
40797Have n''t you heard?"
40797Have they sent for the doctor?"
40797Have you a form here?
40797Have you and Jack been singing hymns on the lawn?
40797Have you finished?
40797Have you got a spade for me to dig in the sand with as I wade?
40797How can I do otherwise?"
40797How can a woman who is just dying for her tea be sentimental?"
40797How could you have borne it alone?
40797How could you say such things, Tom?
40797How did you know, Toby?"
40797How different?"
40797How do you manage it, dear?
40797How much had you in Carmel?"
40797How on earth did she manage to fall so badly down these steps?"
40797I am glad we came-- and you, Kit?"
40797I do n''t say that everybody should trust her, but I am sure she would never do a shabby thing to you or me, or----""Or?"
40797I forget-- no, I do n''t forget that----""What do n''t you forget, Jack?"
40797I say, it is sw-- stewing hot, is n''t it?"
40797Into what new forms would the wreckage be fashioned, these riven planks of a pleasure- boat?
40797Is Miss Murchison there, too?"
40797Is it credible, then, even supposing that I am one of those people who cheat, that I should have done it so clumsily?"
40797Is it not most probable that I have a horror of it only because the punishment is very fresh to me?"
40797Is n''t it so, Jack?"
40797Is n''t it so, Toby?"
40797Is n''t it terrible?"
40797Is n''t the morning too heavenly?"
40797Is that any good?
40797Is the She there?"
40797Is there something wrong, Kit?
40797Is your head very bad?"
40797It is as you wish; how can you doubt it?
40797It was answered immediately, and as the man came into the room,"Indeed; and what is that?"
40797It was at the Haslemeres'', was n''t it?
40797Keep it up?"
40797Kit is in the country still, is she not?"
40797Let''s see, baccarat is the game where you have to try and get nine, is n''t it?
40797Lord Comber was in, and would Toby come up to his sitting- room?
40797May I be driven back to the station at once?
40797May I order the carriage, then, Mrs. Murchison?
40797May Tom come too?"
40797Must you go, Mr. Alington?
40797Nasty for the worm that?
40797No?
40797Not shocked?
40797Now I ask you, Lord Conybeare, will you be on my board?
40797Now which?
40797Now, I ask you, the few times we have played baccarat together, did you ever see me fail to stake?"
40797Now, are you willing to go into all this, or not?
40797Now, shall I come with you?
40797Now, what do you advise me to do, Mr. Alington?
40797Oh, I have felt so terribly ill since this morning, and it is only morning still, is n''t it?
40797Oh, Kit, are you not glad you told him?
40797Oh, am I a fool?
40797Oh, my good child, why look like a boiled owl?"
40797Oh, what does that matter?"
40797Or was it Sir George Eliot who wrote them?
40797Put it in a sequestered corner and periphrase it, will you?
40797Shall I sell out, or not?
40797Shall we go?"
40797She comes in the Anglo- Saxon history, does she not?
40797She would have given anything in the world to say,"What affair of the hundred- pound counter?
40797So Alice and Haslemere and I will see you to- night?"
40797So much_ jeu d''esprit_ about it, is there not?
40797So you and Kit made a bargain?"
40797So you did ask me, did n''t you?"
40797So you''ll be good, and let me manage my own affairs my own way?"
40797So, as he followed her through the folding- doors into the dining- room,"What is the little matter you referred to?"
40797Sugar?
40797Supposing I said I did n''t love you?"
40797Supposing the British public dropped a lot of money and there was an inquiry?
40797There, shall I leave you?
40797They cast you adrift, the Lord knows where, for I inquired about it, without engine, and if you have n''t got an engine, where are you?
40797Use?
40797Very distressing, was it not?
40797Was he amusing?
40797Was it not so?"
40797Was it the game where you try to get nine?"
40797Was that not so?"
40797We like being out of doors, and playing the fool, and having high- tea-- don''t we, Toby?"
40797What can you have thought of me?
40797What could argument do in a case that admitted of none?
40797What difference does that make?
40797What do you do?"
40797What do you suppose I wanted you to get into Parliament for, if you were not going near the House?"
40797What for?"
40797What good does that do?"
40797What is it?"
40797What is the matter?"
40797What is the use of telling him?
40797What is the use of your being secretary to your cousin?
40797What is to be done?"
40797What is your scruple?
40797What more can a butterfly want than a sunny garden with flowers always open?
40797What reason had you to think that?"
40797What will you do with a hundred and forty fire- screens?--or was it a hundred and forty- one?
40797What will you drink?"
40797What would you do?"
40797What''s that book, Mr. Alington?
40797When did it happen?"
40797When?
40797When?
40797Where did you buy it?"
40797Where?
40797Whisky?
40797Who wants to borrow money from you, Lily?"
40797Why do I come and argue with you and quarrel with you like this?"
40797Why should I listen to German bands and drink salt water?"
40797Why tell the disgrace?
40797Why?
40797Will there be a rise in South Africans, do you think?"
40797Will you be better alone?"
40797Will you be my chairman?"
40797Wo n''t you tell me?
40797Would that be true, therefore?"
40797Yes?
40797You are going to play?
40797You believe this?"
40797You do n''t mind my speaking straight out what I think?
40797You will lunch here, of course?"
40797and she used to bleed beneath the Roman rods in the blue poetry book-- or was it pink?
40797are n''t you nervous?"
40797he said,"what have I done to deserve any part of you?
40797went on Lily;"but when was anything worth doing easy?
40797what can be said?"
40797when will you learn that I can not do what you ask if you talk to me in that way?"
40797why make him hate you, perhaps?
40797why make him miserable?
40797will that be a difficulty?"
41338''Say, Mr. Dround,''he sang out in a pause between two periods,''how about your new switch- track over in Ada Street?'' 41338 Ai n''t up to snuff just yet?"
41338Am I? 41338 And Hillary?"
41338And I could have had it?
41338And how about that judge business?
41338And how''s father?
41338And let you and Strauss freeze out my friends? 41338 And the March interest?"
41338And this is your wife, Van?
41338And what do you advise?
41338And what do you know? 41338 And where do you hail from?"
41338And you put him up to buying that junk at the auction the other day?
41338And you think Strauss is our big dog?
41338And you thought you might as well take the purse, too? 41338 Are you asking for charity-- my charity as well as God''s?"
41338Are you so needed over there in the office?
41338Been farming?
41338Been long at it?
41338Been selling any more pork this morning?
41338But are n''t you a very rich man, Van?
41338But are you sure,she began again,"that that would be the best way?
41338But could n''t you get Will a place somewhere without his knowing about how it came?
41338But suppose I had gambled with your money and lost it? 41338 But suppose I have n''t been to see John?"
41338But what are you going to do about it?
41338But what we want to know first,Slocum drawled gravely,"is, did you take the purse, and, if so, where did you put it?"
41338But you are near the end of it-- and then what?
41338But you went away?
41338But, Judge, where is the purse and my friend Worden''s fur coat?
41338But,said the defence,"you say that it would take positive evidence of their innocence before you could consent to return them not guilty?"
41338Ca n''t Strauss do any better by you than that? 41338 Ca n''t you do something to make them feel differently?"
41338Come to stay?
41338Come, what''s the use of talking good? 41338 Could n''t you find any one else to do your dirty work but your own brother?"
41338Covering?
41338Cox''s Market?
41338Did she give you any little souvenir of the occasion?
41338Did you see the piece in the paper?
41338Did you see the prisoner here take your purse?
41338Did you see what he said last night?
41338Do n''t I do it satisfactorily?
41338Do n''t I know what I am saying? 41338 Do n''t you want a receipt?"
41338Do you consider me a mind reader, miss?
41338Do you hear?
41338Do you know, Van, what you are doing?
41338Do you look for happiness? 41338 Do you mean that you wish to sell your property?"
41338Do you remember how I used to wash while you wiped, when we wanted to get out buggy- riding, May?
41338Do you suppose it''s Dround''s stock?
41338Do you tell me to go?
41338Do you think I should have cared?
41338Do you think that explanation is satisfactory? 41338 Do you think that''s worrying us?
41338Do you want to come with me when I get out?
41338Do you want to serve?
41338Does that make it any better?
41338Ed,I said at once,"have you been talking to any one about that matter of the bonds-- the deal with Lucas Smith?"
41338Everything? 41338 First night?"
41338Going home?
41338Harrington,he began,"what do you know about this talk in the papers?"
41338Has n''t he done all those bad things? 41338 Have I had everything?"
41338Have you been back to that place in Indiana?
41338He and Vitzer( who was the great traction wolf in Chicago)"used to work pretty close together sometimes--""You want to go to the Senate, Van?"
41338How about it, miss?
41338How about that, May?
41338How are the children?
41338How are you getting on? 41338 How did Carboner get hold of your husband''s stock?"
41338How did she land here? 41338 How did you get it?"
41338How did you have the nerve, Van, to run this corner when you knew Dround''s stock was loose?
41338How did you know that?
41338How did you know that?
41338How do you do, Harrington?
41338How long do you think he''ll keep goin''?
41338How much, kid?
41338How, may I ask,he said at last in a low tone,"was this done without my knowledge?
41338I suppose you''ll be leaving this ranch before long?
41338Is it bad?
41338Is that it, Doctor?
41338Is that so, m''son?
41338Is that the only reason?
41338Is that you, Van?
41338It is good, is n''t it?
41338It was a profitable deal,--Carboner wrote you the terms?
41338It''s the time to buy now, is n''t it?
41338Just how?
41338Know where we can find it?
41338Looking for a job?
41338No, what was it? 41338 Now, go home and ask your union if they will stand for that bill?"
41338Now, why ca n''t we avoid a fight and settle this matter between ourselves? 41338 Now,"I said, taking the girl''s hand and looking through her veil into her eyes,"what is the matter?
41338Of course not; but how about Frost? 41338 Or?"
41338Prosecute? 41338 Say, Van,"the Irishman continued,"why do n''t you think it over once more, and see your way to join us?
41338Scar?
41338Seeing the town?
41338Shall I disturb you?
41338So I must be good and pious, as well as educated?
41338So you are an anarchist? 41338 So you get some other help, you do, you do?"
41338So you have come home to live?
41338So you think I could do a mean, sneaky thing like that?
41338So you think you are strong enough to win a fight without a woman''s help?
41338So you thought I might take your bonds off your hands? 41338 So you want him to wait?"
41338So you were talking business with Jane?
41338So you wo n''t take my word for it?
41338Something in the diplomatic service?
41338Stooping to beauty, possibly?
41338Strauss is n''t here, is he?
41338Suppose I took your advice?
41338Suppose that you saw your way clear to go in-- to fight-- what would you do?
41338Supposing some of''em should try to fix_ you_?
41338Tell me, Ed,I asked, more miserable than he,"are you going over to Carmichael to get some more pay for this?"
41338Tell me, why?
41338That''s a good plan-- turning philanthropist, Van? 41338 The first time we have had the pleasure, I believe?"
41338The hand of Jane?
41338The sooner the better; and the less we see of each other in the future, the better, eh?
41338Then how should one keep out of his jaws?
41338Then what is the end of it?
41338They have to print something, do n''t they? 41338 To God?
41338To whom?
41338To- night I have no doubts; but to- morrow-- who knows?
41338Van, what is a panic?
41338Van, you do n''t believe in bribing people and such things? 41338 Well, Edward?"
41338Well, if that strong evidence of their innocence was not introduced, then you want to convict them?
41338Well, my son, maybe you know better than I what they do with their money? 41338 Well, that would n''t be much-- only I am going to try for more than I deserve-- see?"
41338Well, what is it?
41338Well, what will you do for me?
41338Well,I said,"what are_ you_ after, John?"
41338Well,Slocum finally asked, as he was leaving me,"what are you going to do about this pinch?"
41338Well?
41338Well?
41338Well?
41338Well?
41338What about it?
41338What are you getting?
41338What are you standing there for? 41338 What are you two talking about in this intimate way?"
41338What are your terms?
41338What brings you people back so soon? 41338 What did it cost you, Van?"
41338What did the lady say when she found she was wrong?
41338What do you care?
41338What do you know about sausage?
41338What do you mean by saying such a thing?
41338What do you mean?
41338What do you think is going to happen to this concern? 41338 What do you want of me?"
41338What do you want of me?
41338What do you want?
41338What does it mean-- what has Van been doing?
41338What else are we here for except to make money?
41338What for? 41338 What have you to do with that dishonest Carmichael?
41338What is it, my dear?
41338What of it, anyhow?
41338What shall we do?
41338What sort of a man is this Judge Garretson?
41338What were you doing in the Drounds''garden?
41338What will Harrington represent in the Senate, assuming that he will be able to buy his way there? 41338 What will you do for the others?"
41338What would I do with a month''s vacation, John? 41338 What would_ you_ do, tell me, if a parcel of scamps were holding you up for the benefit of your enemies?
41338What''s happened, kid?
41338What''s that? 41338 What''s the matter now?"
41338What''s the matter with Jasonville, Edward?
41338What''s the matter with Sarah, Van?
41338What''s up?
41338What''s up?
41338What''s wrong with your concern?
41338What? 41338 Where be yer goin'', Van?"
41338Where did they get it, then? 41338 Where is it, then?
41338Where''s Grace?
41338Where''s the young woman?
41338Who are your folks? 41338 Who else?"
41338Who were selling yesterday?
41338Whose bread are you eating now, to- day?
41338Whose is it?
41338Why did n''t you ask?
41338Why did n''t you come right out, John?
41338Why do n''t Dround''s handle sausage?
41338Why do n''t you sell?
41338Why do n''t you serve?
41338Why do you blush for it?
41338Why do you think so?
41338Why not Harrington& Cox?
41338Why not?
41338Why now more than ever before?
41338Why should you want to know? 41338 Will the Crosses lose all their money?"
41338Will you let the big dog Strauss eat us?
41338Wo n''t you step into the garden with me?
41338Wo n''t you try to show your friends that they were mistaken in you?
41338Would it be dishonest, Van?
41338Would it mean all that?
41338You are n''t going this way?
41338You are n''t planning to stay, John?
41338You are thinking of moving to New York? 41338 You do n''t begrudge me the little help I gave you-- the small share I had in your fortune?"
41338You do n''t see them about him, do you, Doctor?
41338You know him, eh?
41338You know how I feel?
41338You mean Mrs. Dround did it all?
41338You mean on account of that old story? 41338 You mean what the papers say?"
41338You plan to feed this land?
41338You saw him?
41338You think I must have a great deal of money?
41338You think it might be hard work for me to prove my patriotism to the people? 41338 You think it no good?"
41338You think so? 41338 You think so?
41338You want to see me?
41338You will, will you?
41338You wish, if there is any more of this kind of thing, I would get some one else to do my business? 41338 You''ll prosecute him?"
41338You''ll try to fix me for this?
41338Your purse has gone? 41338 ''I say, Dround,''he broke out again pretty soon,''we should like to hear what your firm does when it wants any little favors from the city? 41338 142''Young feller, do you reckon you can buck up against me and the Strauss crowd with that one- horse rig?''"
41338228"''Only this,''I said slowly,''I do n''t sell out to you''"234"''Could n''t you find any one else to do your dirty work but your own brother?''"
4133849"''Do you hear?''
41338A desk in the inside office, I s''pose?"
41338After a time he ripped out:--"You are n''t thinking of staying with old Dround?"
41338After a while he interrupted me in a kind of thin whisper, as if his mind had been absent all the time:--"What about this Judge Garretson?
41338After supper the others left us in the dining room, and when we were alone Hillary said:--"Well, what do you think of the firm name?
41338All well, I hope?"
41338And I seemed to see her dark eyebrows arched with scorn at my weakness, her thin lips curl disdainfully, as if to say:"Was this to be your finish?
41338And if I love him?
41338And if a good fate put it in your power to help him-- you, the poor cripple in your chair-- help him to win his race, would n''t you be thankful?
41338And now, how much is it?"
41338And philanthropy?
41338And the end, what was it?
41338And what''s the matter with the Webbs and the Coopers?
41338Are you going to stay with Mr. Dround, after all?
41338Are you?"
41338As I kissed her, she exclaimed:--"Where have you been, Van?"
41338As I kissed the stained face, she awoke and looked at me wonderingly, murmuring half asleep:--"What is it, Van?
41338As I stepped out of the door I turned for the last time:--"Ca n''t you let me do something for my brother, who is a sick man?"
41338As I stood waiting for Mr. Carboner, a barge laden with lumber cast its shadow through the dirty windows...."And what may you want of me?"
41338Beyond business, what was there for me?
41338But a mere woman, poor, weak creature, is tied with a short rope-- do you know what that means?
41338But at last I burst out:--"May, why would n''t you take that money I sent you while Will was away at the war?"
41338But ca n''t you feel friendly?
41338But did you see how she treated the Carmichaels?
41338But how about their money?
41338But what was her interest in the scheme?
41338Can the degradation of that once honorable body be carried to a greater depth?"
41338Can we have this business aired in court?
41338Can you stand taking orders from your junior?"
41338Carmichael?"
41338Come, that''s fair, is n''t it?"
41338Conceived for good or for ill, brought into being by fraud or daring-- what man could judge_ their_ worth?
41338Could I leave them now?
41338Did I ever do a mean thing to you?
41338Did I want to make it count?
41338Did he tell you about my wanting him to go down to my place in the country until he got well and strong?"
41338Did n''t I give fifteen cents when we had n''t but twenty between us?
41338Did n''t I try to live on the rancid, rotten stuff?
41338Did you come over here to- night to tell me that?"
41338Did you know him?
41338Did you or did you not pay money for this privilege?"
41338Did you sell what you knew to the_ Nationalist_, or to Frost and his crowd?"
41338Do n''t you believe I have got some real patriotism in me?"
41338Do n''t you believe it?
41338Do n''t you know?
41338Do n''t you think it''s horrid of them to talk so?"
41338Do they make''em for you, or for Joe Strauss?
41338Do you know all, child?
41338Do you see that, after all, in spite of all the talk about genius and destiny and being self- made and all that, I did not win the game by myself?
41338Do you think I am a pawnbroker?"
41338Do you think that I have had_ all_ the joy?"
41338Do you think that is the right kind of partner for a simple woman?"
41338Do you think that it will be all right by that time?
41338Does business tempt you so much that you ca n''t resist it even now?"
41338Does that make you proud?"
41338Dround?"
41338Dround?"
41338Finally he asked:--"Well, Harrington, how do you find matters now that you have had time to look into the situation?"
41338Finally he said it:--"So you thought you could do better by sticking with the old man?"
41338Finally he whispered almost solemnly:--"Want to make big money?"
41338Food and drink, a place to sleep in, some clothes-- comfort for my wife and children-- what else?
41338For a keepsake, eh?"
41338Free trade or college education?"
41338Got them there?"
41338Had we been fools to put it aside?
41338Harrington, who has the presumption to look lustfully on the chair of our late honorable Senator?
41338Harrington?"
41338Harrington?"
41338Harrington?"
41338Harrington?"
41338Harrington?"
41338Harrington?"
41338Have I helped you, believed in you, all these years, to have you fall now?"
41338Have you?"
41338He flecked off a stray particle of soot that had lodged on the big pink in his buttonhole as he remarked casually:--"Is that so?
41338He said at once:''You mean the jedge''s brother- in- law?
41338He was caught in the act, was n''t he?"
41338How does it appear on the books?"
41338How is Mr. Carmichael?
41338I exclaimed,"whatever has happened to you?"
41338I know where my duty lies,"--he straightened himself with slow pompousness,--"How are the children?
41338I put my hand on his little tumbled head, and turned to his mother:--"I suppose you would n''t let him touch my money, either?"
41338I think her first words were,--"Do you come this way often?"
41338I wanted to say to her:"Which will you have?
41338If he loves me?
41338Is it best to run to your enemy, crying for quarter?"
41338Is it true in the least way?"
41338Is n''t that Mr. Cross''s bank?"
41338Is that enough?"
41338Is that satisfactory?''
41338Is this the right road?
41338It can be done if--""If Mr. Dround will consent,"she finished my sentence,"and give his aid in raising the money?"
41338It is n''t true?"
41338It is time for my medicine, is n''t it, Jane?"
41338It was your money that Carboner risked?
41338It''s pretty mean, Van, do n''t you think so?"
41338John helped him out brutally:--"You wonder whether we had to grease anybody''s paw about that switch- track over in Ada Street?"
41338Joyce?"
41338Marble?"
41338Mere wealth, mere power of that kind, will it satisfy?...
41338My husband-- you understand?
41338Now what are you going to do about it?"
41338Now what are you going to do about it?''"
41338Now what are you going to do about it?_"] The big Irishman plumped his two red fists on Mr. Dround''s desk and glared at him.
41338One day Carmichael said to me:--"So you''re a sausage maker, after all, Van?"
41338Or maybe you have gone back to collecting again?"
41338Pretty soon I said:--"Wo n''t you ride to school with me, Miss May?"
41338Pretty soon John said fiercely:--"It''s my business to look after such matters?"
41338Renshaw?"
41338Say, Harrington, do you remember how you scalped poor old McGee back in the days when you were doing odd jobs at Dround''s?
41338She called to me:--"Mister, mister, what will you do now?"
41338She spoke the idea that was in all our minds: how did he and the others make their money?
41338She waited a moment, and then asked hesitatingly:--"How''s your Sarah?
41338So I said rather foolishly to father:--"Will you give me a few dollars to start me with?
41338So you were picking up the lady''s handkerchief?
41338So, I thought, why should n''t the packing- house put up a superior kind of sausage in nice little boxes, with a fancy name?
41338Suddenly I remembered where I had seen that face before, and when she looked up again I said:--"Did you ever find that purse, Miss Gentles?"
41338Suddenly he stopped and addressed me in his thin, high voice:--"What do you think, Mr. Harrington, of this infernal business?"
41338Suppose I should take this old fellow''s scrawl over to Orlando Bates, and the president of the Tenth National should ask me what it meant?
41338Tell me what you will do with this corporation-- what next?"
41338The big, permanent motive remains: there is the broad highroad-- but why was it left, why this turn and double across the main track?
41338The millionnaires there at Washington make the laws of this free country, and who do they make them for?
41338The police?
41338Then May asked in a queer little voice:--"Tell me, Van, is there anything in that story?
41338They think that you are thin in the waist?
41338Those were your friends, were they?"
41338To Strauss?
41338We have no reason to quarrel, have we?"
41338Well, I hope, and prospering?"
41338Well, what of it?"
41338Were they better men before the eyes of God these eight misguided fools whom we were about to punish?
41338What are the facts?"
41338What are they kicking for, anyway?"
41338What are you thinking of, Van Harrington?"
41338What business has he with you?
41338What did I do there?
41338What do I want to light out for now?"
41338What do you pay for every basket of coal you put in your stoves?
41338What do you pay for meat?
41338What does it mean?
41338What does that mean?"
41338What else is there for us to do?
41338What for?"
41338What good does it do the public for you to refuse their price?
41338What had they done to make life?
41338What harm does that do us?
41338What has happened?
41338What is it, Van?
41338What is the first step?"
41338What is the good of that?
41338What makes you want to go short of pork?"
41338What matters it?
41338What separation does a little distance put between you and me?
41338What was that partner of Mr. Slocum''s sent down there for?"
41338What was the golden road?
41338What was their virtue good for?
41338What were you thinking when you did this dirty piece of business?
41338What will Farson say to that story of Lokes''s?
41338What would you think of that?
41338What would your business be worth if it were n''t for John Carmichael?
41338What''s the good word?"
41338What''s the name of the place?"
41338What''s your figure?"
41338What''s your name, m''son?"
41338Whatever was there in Chicago in 1877 to live for but Success?
41338When Miss Gentles had gone he remarked in a gossiping way:--"So you know the young woman?"
41338When we had said good- by and were in the carriage, Sarah remarked reflectively:--"Jane looks like an old woman-- don''t you think so, Van?"
41338Where could it have gone to?"
41338Where was it to be had?
41338Where was it?
41338Who are you?"
41338Who did the most harm to society, they or that pale- faced Fielden, who might have been a saint instead of an anarchist?...
41338Who made up the"we"in this firm of Rip Van Winkle bankers?
41338Why are people growing poor?"
41338Why did I come to the city?
41338Why did you have to take him?"
41338Why not go myself-- why not enlist?
41338Why not take a seat in"the millionnaires''club,"as the newspapers called that honorable body, the United States Senate?
41338Why not think of it?
41338Why should I be pestered like this, why should I lose my brother and May, why should Sarah be hurt, because they were too good to do as I had done?
41338Why should she bother with the packing business?
41338Why should you?"
41338Why, did n''t they kill more''n twice as many men over at McCormick''s only the other day, just because the boys were making a bit of a disturbance?
41338Why?"
41338Will he represent the great state of Illinois,--the state of Lincoln, of Douglas, of Oglesby?
41338With that idea I burst out at last:--"I''ve been thinking of one thing all along, Slo-- and that is: What can I do for you when I am Senator?
41338Wo n''t the old woman''s food taste slick to- night?
41338Wo n''t you come and see her?
41338Would one of us like a fat job, where there was n''t much work except special times-- a gay kind of place, where we could see something of life?
41338Would you deny yourself the little I have taken from you, his wife, if it were yours to take and_ mine_ to lose?
41338Would you put tail between legs and get out and leave your bone to the other dog?"
41338Yes, and what then?
41338Yet did the Strauss crowd dare to sell it short in this brazen way?
41338Yet-- I wonder-- yes, my doubt has grown so large since I saw you that it moves me to write all this.... Will_ that_ be enough?
41338You are still young in spite of--""The gray hair and the two hundred and forty pounds?
41338You do n''t believe Will was cut out to be a thinker?
41338You do n''t think that Frost and his pals are going to sit quiet after such a roast?
41338You have to borrow a great deal of money and pay high for it?"
41338You know the Wordens, do n''t you, Judge?"
41338You know your Horace, Judge?"
41338You remember that investment you were kind enough to make for me a few years ago?"
41338You took the peaches, you remember?"
41338You understand?"
41338You want to sell out this packing business, some day, eh?
41338You''ve come back?"
41338[ Illustration:_ I pointed out the great currents of world trade._]"This is but the beginning, then-- this packing company?"
41338[ Illustration:_"Do you hear?"
41338[ Illustration:_"What do you know about sausage?"
41338do you want a vacation?
41338he asked._]"Why not get some old rabbi and make kosher meat-- the real article?
41338the Irishman roared"58"My part was to drive a wagon for Dround at fifteen a week"59"''What do you know about sausage?''
37249''Mirapolis''?
37249A city?--in this reservoir bottom? 37249 Am I my brother''s keeper?"
37249And Gomorrah?
37249And about this Massingale affair-- you will not interfere again?
37249And let him blackmail me? 37249 And still you wo n''t print this?"
37249And the government?
37249And the next minute?
37249And the other?
37249And the source could n''t possibly have become contaminated by the Cortwright germs?
37249And the structure itself-- how high is it to be?
37249And what started you off into the memory woods, particularly, to- night?
37249And you are carrying that millstone? 37249 And you are trying to tell me that father made a hundred thousand dollars just in those few hours by buying and selling Mirapolis lots?
37249And you have----?
37249And you met him? 37249 And you-- you believed all this?"
37249And your labor?
37249Another seven?
37249Anything else remarkable up your sleeve?
37249Anything new?
37249Are you never going to forget that senseless bit of twaddle?
37249Are you sure? 37249 Are you-- are you_ plumb_ sure you can spare it?"
37249Are you?
37249As you were saying?
37249Before Congress convenes, you mean?
37249Believing that it was for the best interests of the railroad to come here?
37249Brouillard, do you know what you are talking about?
37249Brouillard,he grated huskily,"does this mean that you''re breaking with us, once for all?"
37249But how?
37249But now you think he is going to make his bluff good?
37249But now,she queried--"now, I suppose, you have become reconciled?"
37249But tell me, what would you do with your pot of rainbow gold-- if you should find it?
37249But where is she now?
37249But will you? 37249 But you did advise Mr. Ford to build the Extension?"
37249But you have made the plans for this power plant, have n''t you?
37249But you have the order?
37249But your part in this horrible plot, Victor?
37249Catching you, too, is it, Victor?
37249Chief engineer, eh? 37249 Comparatively rich, you say?--and you washed this spoonful out of a single pan?"
37249Curious that this particular fly should drop into your pot of ointment on your birthday, was n''t it?
37249Did I?
37249Did it agree with you?
37249Did n''t I? 37249 Did n''t Smith know better than to take her down there at such a time as this?"
37249Did you find out?
37249Did you imagine that your workmen were any less human than other people?
37249Did you sign those notes personally, or as president of the new company?
37249Did you think we were going to cut the melon and hand you out a piece of the rind? 37249 Did you?--and before you had a stake in the game?
37249Do n''t they?
37249Do n''t you ever get beyond that?
37249Do n''t you? 37249 Do you call_ that_ civilization?"
37249Do you do it as other men do?--just to hear how it sounds?
37249Do you know the reason why it was given?
37249Do you know what I''m thinking about, Mr. Brouillard? 37249 Do you know, Brouillard, Hosford gets on my nerves, too?
37249Do you mean to say that real farms with green things growing on them can be made out of that frightful desert we drove over yesterday afternoon?
37249Do you really believe that? 37249 Do you think my daughter could walk it?"
37249Do you want me to be frivolous or serious?
37249Do you want me to say that I should have missed a great deal? 37249 Does he make that a command?"
37249Does it date back to the handicap? 37249 Does n''t he want to make money?"
37249Does the order cover more than the work on the dam?
37249Does this formal notice that the waste- gates will be closed three weeks from to- morrow go as it stands?
37249Even if it should give you another attack of the''seeing things''?
37249Extenuating circumstances-- is that what you mean? 37249 For example?"
37249Fuel for your power plant?--wood I take it?
37249H''m,said the millionaire;"a cement plant, eh?
37249Has it never occurred to you that she may be just a woman-- like other women? 37249 Has she told you so?"
37249Have n''t you heard how the men of the desert camps kill each other for the chance to pick up a lady''s handkerchief?
37249Have you been given to understand that this office is in any sense a tail to your Improvement Company''s kite?
37249Have you heard the talk of the street? 37249 Have you seen Miss Massingale since noon?"
37249He means to give you the casting vote? 37249 How about those notes in the bank?
37249How are you, Mr. Massingale? 37249 How can any one predict that when Congress is not in session?"
37249How can you know that?
37249How can you tell? 37249 How did you know that I have been wanting to come up here once more before everything is changed?"
37249How did you know?
37249How do you know I gave him a hundred thousand dollars?
37249How does that strike you?
37249How is the line to- night, Sanford-- pretty clear?
37249How straight is your tip, Harlan?
37249How was that?
37249How?
37249Huh?
37249I asked you who has been gossiping about me; not Grizzy?
37249I knew, or thought I knew, that you were miles away, over in the Buckskin; and how could I call you?
37249I suppose Harlan is getting ready to exploit the new sensation right?
37249I want you to send a wire to Red Butte telling the smelter people that you will be glad to have them handle the''Little Susan''ore."And if I do?
37249I wonder if you know how little I care?
37249If it had succeeded? 37249 If they should happen to uncover a gold reef just now it would simplify matters immensely for Mirapolis, would n''t it?
37249In less than a hundredth part of that time you''ll be at the top of the Reclamation- Service pay- roll-- won''t that help out?
37249Is it a good reason?
37249Is it business?
37249Is it my fault that Massingale ca n''t pay his debts?
37249Is it so? 37249 Is n''t that your notion?"
37249Is she-- the one incomparable she-- worth it, Victor?
37249Is that all you have to say?
37249Is that all you have to say?
37249Is that all?
37249Is that the new name?
37249It means a great deal to you, does n''t it?
37249It''s about a hundred and twenty miles from this to El Gato, on the Grand Canyon, is n''t it, Mr. Brouillard? 37249 Let''s see,"said the newsman thoughtfully;"what is there worth taking that they did n''t take in the_ sauve qui peut_?
37249May I break in with a bit of bad news?
37249Meaning that he is too uncompromisingly honest to be one of us? 37249 Miss Massingale?
37249My brother?
37249No?
37249Now for the business end of the deal-- why do n''t you sit down?
37249Now tell me about the''Little Susan''; is the Blue- grass farm looming up comfortably on the eastern edge of things?
37249Of course you do n''t take any stock in the rumor that the government will call a halt?
37249Oh, yes; let me see; are they due to- day?
37249On the dam, you mean? 37249 Ought I to know the gentleman?"
37249Sell it? 37249 Shall I do what you would have me do, Amy?
37249Since when?
37249So you''re_ that_ kind of a fire- eater, are you? 37249 Still you say you do n''t want to scrap?"
37249Supposing it was-- what''s the difference? 37249 Tell me one thing, Brouillard: what is your stake in the Massingale game?
37249That brings on more talk-- about a thousand miles of it, does n''t it?
37249That is your challenge, is it?
37249That night, you mean? 37249 The Cortwright people want the road, do n''t they?"
37249The Massingale mine, eh?
37249The way to keep me from talking is to do it all yourself; what happened to me last night?
37249The-- what?
37249Then it is your opinion that if this were printed it would do the business?
37249Then what happened?
37249Then why are you so anxious to make old David a rich man at my expense? 37249 Then why did you do it?
37249Then you have n''t heard? 37249 Then you will advise against the building of the Extension?"
37249Under guard?
37249We ca n''t stand for any more chaos than the gods have already doped out for us, can we?
37249Well, did you succeed in placing the lady?
37249Well, then, how about the choice between two evils? 37249 Well, what more do you want?
37249Well, what of it?
37249Well, why was n''t it fair?
37249Well,said Grislow again,"what of it?
37249Well,was the millionaire''s greeting,"you waited to be sent for, did n''t you?"
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249Well?
37249What are the spellbinders doing, Grizzy?
37249What are you going to do about it, Victor?
37249What can you possibly know about the Assyrians?
37249What can you, or any man who sets himself apart as you do, know about the troubles and besetments of ordinary people? 37249 What did I say?
37249What did I say?
37249What did he tell you?
37249What do you know, Brouillard?
37249What do you want this time?
37249What does it mean to you-- to you, personally, and apart from the money your father might make out of it, Amy?
37249What fact?
37249What has all this bubble blowing got to do with the building of a temporary power dam and the setting up of a couple of cement kilns?
37249What has given you the impression that you own me, Mr. Cortwright? 37249 What have I done to make you forget how to talk?"
37249What is it?
37249What is the active principle of your''sevens''--or have n''t you figured it out?
37249What is the one thing you would n''t sell?
37249What is your need?
37249What is your tip?
37249What makes you think that?
37249What sort of a bug have you got in your cosmos this morning, Brouillard? 37249 What was the threat?"
37249What would I do? 37249 What would you do with it?
37249What''s come over you, lately, Victor? 37249 What''s doing, and who''s doing it?"
37249What''s got into you? 37249 What''s that up there?"
37249What''s the odds if you go to it and bring back the money? 37249 What?
37249When have I ever bleated when I should have kept still?
37249When is it? 37249 Where does the Honorable All- the- rest keep himself?"
37249Where was it you saw them, Castner?
37249Who is Lord Falkland?
37249Who is your treasurer?
37249Who said that?
37249Why do n''t you drop in once in a while and give me the run of things?
37249Why do you ask me?
37249Why do you doubt it? 37249 Why do you want to know?"
37249Why not?
37249Why not?
37249Why not?
37249Why not?
37249Why should n''t I say it? 37249 Why should n''t we take to- day, the only day we can be sure of having, and use and enjoy it while it is ours?
37249Why should you doubt it?
37249Why should you? 37249 Why the devil did n''t you fellows turn out?"
37249Why''of course''?
37249Will you come along?
37249Will you go with me, Victor? 37249 Wo n''t you?"
37249Yes?
37249Yes?
37249You are Amy-- and this is that other world you used to talk about, is n''t it?
37249You are certain that your information did n''t originate right here in Mirapolis-- in Mr. Cortwright''s office, to locate it more exactly?
37249You are ready to let go, are you?
37249You are selling Mirapolis holdings short to- day, Garner?
37249You could n''t conjure an omen out of that, could you? 37249 You did this deliberately, Victor, weighing all the consequences?
37249You do n''t deny them?
37249You have n''t been tumbling into the ditch with Leshington and Griffith and the rest of us and making love to the little sister, have you?
37249You interested yourself? 37249 You mean that I have brought my cut finger to you?"
37249You saw President Ford after I did; what did he say when he was over here?
37249You say you saw the money in father''s hands; tell me, Victor, did you see him pay it into the bank?
37249You say you''re goin''down to the Buckskin right away? 37249 You say your father has borrowed of the bank-- is Mr. Cortwright mixed up in the loan in any way?"
37249You sent for me?
37249You will marry her?
37249You would n''t let pride-- a false pride-- stand in the way of her happiness?
37249You''ll be up on the stagings yourself, wo n''t you?
37249You''ll bet money h- on dat?--h- all de money you got?
37249You''ll rob an old man first, and then call him a thief and set the sheriff on him, will you----?
37249You''ll surely want to give me my instructions a little beforehand, wo n''t you? 37249 You''re Brillard, the government man, I take it?"
37249You''re giving Garner a blank card to buy for your account? 37249 You''ve borrowed to meet these notes?"
37249You''ve had it out with Cortwright?
37249You, Victor?
37249You? 37249 You?"
37249You?
37249Your business, maybe; it falls right in your line, does n''t it?
37249Your father is n''t at home?
37249Ze dinnare-- she was h- all right, M''sieu''Brouillard?
37249_ He had the money?_ Where did he get it?
37249_ He had the money?_ Where did he get it?
37249Am I making it plain?"
37249And he has spent ninety thousand dollars on the''Little Susan''in sixty days?
37249And how will you get it here?"
37249And the girl on horseback?
37249And then, without any bush beating, the critical question was fired point- blank:"What becomes of all these fellows you are dropping?
37249And then, without warning:"What if I should tell you that the railroad is not coming to the Niquoia, Amy?"
37249And then:"Where is he now?
37249And then:"You''re one of the Reclamation engineers?
37249And your freedom-- how have you made a hundred thousand dollars in these few weeks?
37249And yours is----?"
37249And, besides, there''s Amy; you owe her something, do n''t you?--or do n''t you?
37249Any truth in that?"
37249Anybody seen him since?"
37249Are n''t we just as far from a carbide shop as we are from the dynamo?
37249Are you a silent partner in the''Little Susan''?"
37249Are you all packed?"
37249Are you asleep?"
37249Are you catching on?"
37249Are you going to be_ very_ busy this afternoon?"
37249Are you going to marry the girl?"
37249Are you going?
37249Besides, did n''t Brouillard say I was to get an extension if I could?"
37249Brought the cash, did you?
37249Brouillard took another long minute at the office window before he said:"What would you do if you were in my place, Murray?"
37249Brouillard was pointedly occupying himself at his desk, but he looked up long enough to say:"Whiskey, you mean?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249Brouillard?"
37249But about this railroad fizzle; I do n''t relish the notion of having our little joke sprung on us before we''re ready to laugh, do you?
37249But if you had a cut finger you would n''t go to a man in hell to get it tied up, would you?"
37249But in this thing which you are proposing there are issues involved which----""You want time to think it over?
37249But tell me, what are some of the things that may happen?"
37249But what of it?"
37249But why not, Mr. Brouillard?
37249But you say the stock was to be released when the notes were paid-- what was to happen if they were not paid?"
37249Buy corner lots in Niqoyastcà   djeburg?"
37249By the way, did you know that he_ is_ Lord Falkland now?
37249Ca n''t you contrive to get word to me, some way-- after it is all over?
37249Can we make the road pay if we bring it here?
37249Can you give me my present figure?...
37249Can you read minds and hearts as you do your maps and drawings?
37249Can you remember the words?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Cortwright?"
37249Did n''t I say just now that the town was crazy with excitement when I left to come up here?"
37249Did n''t we agree that that money was poisoned?
37249Did old David Massingale get out of J. Wesley''s clutches before the lightning struck?"
37249Digging for information, I suppose?"
37249Do I make it clear?"
37249Do n''t you believe it?"
37249Do n''t you know that it is only the very vainest people who say that?"
37249Do n''t you know that?"
37249Do you believe in Freiborg''s theory of the multiple personality?
37249Do you get that, Murray?"
37249Do you know that I once had the pleasure of introducing your good father to my bankers in Chicago?
37249Do you know what that plank- faced organizer has got up his sleeve?
37249Do you know what the men have named you?
37249Do you know why?
37249Do you remember that?"
37249Do you wonder that I have lost the knack?"
37249Does n''t it look good to you any more?"
37249Does n''t your brother know that it is illegal to shoot a trout stream?"
37249Facing them as I am obliged to face them, I am telling you-- but what''s the use?
37249Father thinks too much of making money-- a great deal too much; and you----""Well?"
37249First rate, I hope?"
37249Fits like the glove on a pretty girl''s arm, does n''t it?"
37249Ford?"
37249Ford?"
37249Garner, cancel my order to sell, will you?
37249Grislow?"
37249Had I ort to?"
37249Had he not expressly declared that the object of the desert automobile trip was mere tourist curiosity?
37249Has Gomorrah changed it?"
37249Has anybody found out yet who touched off the gold- mounted sky- rocket?"
37249Have n''t you any imagination?"
37249Have n''t you met him?
37249Have you ever been in the Blue- grass country?"
37249Have you ever seen any vouchers for the money spent?"
37249Have you got time to''put us next''?"
37249He fights his way to his ends without caring much for the consequences to others; but tell me-- haven''t you been doing the same thing?"
37249He will build the Extension if you advise it?"
37249Honestly, now, Harlan, what do you think about it yourself?
37249Hosford?"
37249How about that?"
37249How did you settle it finally?"
37249How far is it up to where you are going to build your dam?"
37249How is Steve this evening?"
37249How is Steve?"
37249How is the boy getting along?
37249How is young Massingale getting along?"
37249How long would it take you to get action in the Washington matter, do you think?"
37249How much is it going to cost us to stay in?"
37249How much is it going to cost us?"
37249How much money have you got?"
37249How much more time will you need to enable you to get returns from your shipments?
37249How will that do?"
37249How''m I goin''to secure you for this?"
37249How_ can_ you be sure?"
37249I thought you told me you merely went down and took a look-- didn''t butt in?"
37249If there were time-- but you say this is the last day?"
37249If you were the executive committee of the Pacific Southwestern, would you, or would you not, build the Extension?
37249Is a man a mere bit of driftwood, to be tossed about in the froth of any wave that happens to come along, as Freiborg says he is?"
37249Is it ever justifiable to do evil that good may come?"
37249Is it true that you''ve had orders from Washington within the past few days to cut your force on the dam one half?"
37249Is n''t it a part of your job?"
37249Is n''t it worth something to realize that?"
37249Is n''t that about the size of it?"
37249Is n''t that so?"
37249Is n''t there a possibility, just the least little shadow of a possibility, that I do n''t deserve to be punished?"
37249Is that Boyer-- Niquoia National?...
37249Is that all?"
37249Is that asking too much?"
37249Is that explicit enough?"
37249Is that it?"
37249Is that the plan?"
37249Is that true?"
37249Is there anything we can do?"
37249Is your father here?"
37249Is your telephone line up here in operation?"
37249Is your work going to start up again?
37249It figgered out this- a- way in the talk: they said, what''s the use o''takin''the money out o''one pocket and puttin''it into the other?
37249It is to be war between us from this on?"
37249Lack of money?
37249Looks like I needed a janitor to look after my upper story, do n''t it?
37249Massingale?"
37249Massingale?"
37249Massingale?"
37249Mirapolis is already a city of frenzied knaves and dupes; did you realize that you were taking the chance of turning it into a wicked pandemonium?
37249Must I be set down as hopelessly and irreclaimably frivolous just because I have chosen to laugh when possibly another woman might have cried?"
37249Must you carry it?"
37249Not more than that?...
37249Now, then, does that stand the band- wagon upon its wheels again?"
37249Oh, Victor, is it clean money?"
37249Or is it going off for good?"
37249Or shall I do what is best for you?"
37249Shall I go over to the_ Spot- Light_ office and tell Harlan what I know?"
37249Sixty days?
37249Sommtime ve get de railroad,_ n''est- ce pas_, M''sieu''Brouillard?
37249Suppose I should tell you that practically all of your bosses are in with us; what then?"
37249THE TERROR 322 ILLUSTRATIONS"What would I do?
37249Tell me, Mr. Brouillard, have you asked her to marry you?"
37249That would be the reasonable conclusion, would n''t it?"
37249The materials have all been tested, I suppose?"
37249The only question is this: Is the one only and incomparable she worth the effort?
37249The question is: Will they be rediscovered?
37249The''Little Susan''has begun to pan out, has it?
37249Then Miss Amy got word to you?
37249Then he asked a question:"When is this little hell- on- earth going to be finally extinguished, Victor?"
37249Then he put in the word of warning:"I suppose you''ll be dabbling a little in Mirapolis options after you get this note business out of the way?
37249Then the inevitable question:"They''re sayin''on the street that you''re lettin''out half o''your men-- that so?"
37249Then to Brouillard:"Say, young man; you do n''t mean to tell me that your father''s son needs a guardian, do you?
37249Then, with a determined wrenching aside of the subject:"Are you going up on Chigringo this afternoon?"
37249Then, with a purposeful changing of the subject:"Where is Miss Massingale?
37249Then, with business- like directness:"What will you build it of?--concrete?"
37249Then:"What has come over you lately, Brouillard?
37249There were ideals in the beginning; you admitted it, did n''t you?
37249There will be a called meeting of the directors here in this room to- morrow evening at eight o''clock, and----""Who calls it?"
37249Think I do n''t remember how you were always ranting about the dignity of a man''s work and quoting Kipling at me?
37249Think you could manage to get Ford on the wire and encourage him a little more?"
37249To whom?"
37249Want to come along?"
37249Was n''t Massingale personally involved in some way?"
37249Were the field- notes in when you left Washington?"
37249What about a man''s natural limitations?"
37249What about the dam?
37249What are you calling it?"
37249What are your orders from the department?"
37249What are your two evils?"
37249What became of the one hundred thousand dollars you gave old David Massingale?"
37249What did he do with it-- gamble it?"
37249What do we get out of life more than the day''s dole of-- well, of whatever we care most for?
37249What do you mean?
37249What do you say?"
37249What do you say?"
37249What do you think?"
37249What happened when you were twenty- one-- or were you too busy just then chasing the elusive engineering degree to take notice?"
37249What has your pay- roll been?"
37249What have you been doing all these days when I have n''t been able to keep tab on you?"
37249What have you done with old David?"
37249What if I had gone about town contradicting the rumor?"
37249What if the boomers were taking an unauthorized ell for their authorized inch?
37249What is it the Good Book says?
37249What is it?"
37249What is it?"
37249What shall I tell Miss Massingale when she asks about you?"
37249What was the quarrel about, between him and Van Bruce?"
37249What were you doing twenty minutes ago?"
37249What will you do?--build your dam right here and take out your canal through the canyon?
37249What''s the matter with our money?
37249What''s up?"
37249What''s your grief?"
37249What''s your price?"
37249What?
37249When do those notes of yours fall due?"
37249When will you want my expert opinion on your auxiliary dam?"
37249Where did you say I''d find your wire office?"
37249Where is she, and what was the message?"
37249Where is your sense of humor?"
37249Where will you get it?
37249Where''s the boss?"
37249Who has been telling you all these things about me?"
37249Who says so?
37249Why do n''t you care?"
37249Why is Steve proposing to give this thing away?
37249Why is n''t he working the bar himself?"
37249Why should he go out of his way to quarrel with it on high moral grounds?
37249Will you come down and see us off?"
37249Will you saw it off with me that way?--until you''ve made the turn on the ore sales?"
37249Wo n''t you ask me to sit down?"
37249Would he go, if he might have the post of honor behind the pilot- wheel of the new sixty- horse, seven- passenger flyer?
37249Would it go up, or down, with a sudden resumption of work on the dam?"
37249Would n''t that be delightful?"
37249Would n''t that be rather awkward?"
37249Would n''t that set your teeth on edge?"
37249Would the department place the men and the means instantly at his disposal?
37249Would the miracle be wrought?
37249Would you do it?"
37249Would you give a hundred thousand dollars for the privilege of being able to say to her:''Come, dear, let''s go and get married''?"
37249Would you mind telling me just why?"
37249You ai n''t allowin''to use it on her, Victor?"
37249You believe that, Amy?
37249You do n''t need any kindergartner of a construction man to help you solve a little problem like that, do you?"
37249You know that long, narrow sand- bar in the river just below the mouth of the upper canyon?"
37249You say the men clear out when they are discharged-- isn''t that about what you''d do if you were out of a job?"
37249You want something-- is it that damned Massingale business again?
37249You want to keep your job, do n''t you?"
37249You wo n''t forget that, will you?"
37249You wo n''t turn us down on this, Brouillard?"
37249You would say that''Bimi''would be just about the last thing in the world to put anybody to sleep, would n''t you?
37249You''d put us out of business?
37249You''ve eaten here before; what do you pay Bongras for a reasonably good dinner?"
37249You''ve got some sort of an engineers''mess, I take it?"
37249You_ are_ connected with it, are n''t you?"
37249_ Savez?_"The chauffeur was adjusting something under the upturned bonnet of the touring- car and thus hiding his grin.
37249am I really such a transparent egoist as all that?"
37249do n''t you see?
37249do you know that it is after ten o''clock?"
37249in Chicago?"
37249she panted,"is love a thing to be cheapened like that-- to be sinned for?"
37249that touched you, did n''t it?"
37249what in Sam Hill do you take us for?"
37249would n''t that give you a fit of the creepies?--this far from civilization and a dynamo?"
36170A half- share partnership?
36170A lot to talk about?
36170A smart gal, too, eh?
36170A-- a branch?
36170Accident?
36170Ai n''t Mallinsbee around?
36170Am I?
36170Amusin'', ai n''t it?
36170And how long''s this to go on for?
36170And if he beats your game?
36170And the five- cent- cigar man?
36170And the innocent''s ruin?
36170And the question?
36170And the result?
36170And then?
36170And this-- is part of the Union Grayling system?
36170And what about that other place-- that log and adobe shack you told me of?
36170And what did you use it for?
36170And you''ll play the game?
36170And you''ve come to Snake''s Fall to-- to make it?
36170And your cattle station?
36170Anti- Tobacco?
36170Anyway what could he do?
36170Are they mine?
36170Are they the----?
36170Are we?
36170Big? 36170 Bluff?
36170Buffalo Point?
36170Business?
36170But how long is-- it to last? 36170 But how?
36170But what about your souls?
36170But what does our poor Gordon know of women?
36170But what''s Gordon done?
36170But when your father knows what you''ve done? 36170 But why, if you''ll forgive me, around-- Snake''s Fall?"
36170But-- but do n''t you understand?
36170But-- that piece about yourself?
36170Ca n''t we look around the house while the kettle boils?
36170Can I believe my ears? 36170 Can you let me have a room?"
36170Can you tell it me now?
36170Caribou?
36170Charity?
36170Chief grafter, eh? 36170 Criminals?"
36170Deserved? 36170 Did he tell you anything?"
36170Did n''t I say he was just a scallywag? 36170 Did you ever know anybody that was really healthy who started in to worry how they were living?
36170Do I?
36170Do n''t you see, dear? 36170 Do we need that yellow reptile present?"
36170Do we wash things or do we just pack''em up?
36170Do you believe in miracles?
36170Do you need that sent off, sir?
36170Do you need to ask me that?
36170Do you need to worry that way, Mr. Mallinsbee? 36170 Do you think you could get me a-- five- cent cigar, Harding?"
36170Do? 36170 Do?
36170Dovecote?
36170Eh?
36170Europe, sir?
36170Fixed anything?
36170Fool? 36170 Get through your business at-- the office?"
36170Go? 36170 Got back, Silas?"
36170Graft? 36170 Graft?"
36170Harding, have you ever smoked a-- five- cent cigar?
36170Has Slosson abated his terms?
36170Has he been here to- day?
36170Have I?
36170Have you any reason to show why sentence should not be passed upon you? 36170 He closed the deal?"
36170He''ll never consent to-- to----"Our marriage? 36170 He''s evidently not married, so-- what do you intend to do about it while Mr. Carbhoy is on the coast?"
36170His father?
36170How do you know my first name?
36170How do you say, gentlemen? 36170 How far out are the coalfields?"
36170How old is your-- Gracie?
36170How''s Miss Hazel this morning?
36170How''s our junior partner?
36170How? 36170 I did?"
36170I do n''t guess it''s any real sign of health, mentally or physically, when folks have to start''anti''societies, eh?
36170I guess Mallinsbee knows what this means-- for him?
36170I s''pose girls are n''t of much account with you? 36170 I s''pose the boom will come big when it does start?"
36170I shall be beaten?
36170I suppose one hundred thousand dollars would be nothing to make if-- things go right?
36170I suppose there''s quite a town there now?
36170I trust, sir, I''ve given satisfaction?
36170I wonder what trouble it is?
36170I''m not clever, but-- I did think of it, did n''t I? 36170 If I asked you?"
36170Immorality? 36170 In the name of all that''s crazy what''s-- what''s the meaning of it?
36170In what?
36170Is it graft?
36170Is it sunstroke, or-- or----?
36170Is it that way?
36170Is it what we guessed?
36170Is it''yes''?
36170Is it?
36170Is n''t he just splendid?
36170Is n''t it a fairy- book picture? 36170 Is n''t that just a man?
36170Is the court to be questioned upon its powers?
36170It is n''t always so with men-- where the making of money is concerned, is it?
36170It makes a difference, does n''t it? 36170 It''s dead safe Steve has n''t sent a copy to Slosson?"
36170It''s-- all yours?
36170James Carbhoy''s your-- father?
36170Kick?
36170Kickin''? 36170 Lose?
36170Mallinsbee?
36170Mallinsbee?
36170Maybe you do n''t reckon I''ve got sense?
36170Meracles?
36170More to you than all-- this?
36170Movements? 36170 Must he remain?"
36170Must it? 36170 Never been saddled?"
36170No? 36170 No?"
36170Nor has your father----"No right? 36170 Not?"
36170Nothing doing?
36170Now how on earth do I know where I was going? 36170 Now you have n''t got it?"
36170Office?
36170Oh-- you agree?
36170Owe?
36170Partly?
36170Play?
36170Pretty? 36170 Put that way it-- sounds rotten, Dad, does n''t it?"
36170Really? 36170 Ride home?
36170Right? 36170 Satisfaction?"
36170Say, Dad, was there ever such a father as I''ve got?
36170Say, Dad, what in the name of all creation has brought you here?
36170Say, I have n''t said anything wrong, have I?
36170Say, did you ever feel a perfect, idiotic fool? 36170 Say, do n''t it beat all, Miss Hazel, stealin''your own father?
36170Say, is n''t it wonderful? 36170 Say, is n''t that real bright?"
36170Say, is n''t there a village?
36170Say, is n''t this a great place?
36170Say, we''re just two real good friends, Mr. Van Henslaer, are n''t we? 36170 Say, will smoke worry you any, young lady?"
36170Say, you made a talk about an''innocent''s''life gettin''all mussed up?
36170Say,he demanded at last,"why does the man want options?
36170Say,he observed, addressing the ruffian beside him, who was busily chewing and spitting,"you do n''t mind if I smoke, do you?"
36170Say? 36170 Secretary?"
36170See the crookedness of that kid? 36170 Shall I get on him first?"
36170Shall we eat first or----?
36170She was waiting for that skunk? 36170 Sign here, eh?"
36170Sixty miles back?
36170Slosson been around?
36170Slosson? 36170 Slosson?"
36170Smart gal?
36170Sorry?

36170Sunset off duty?
36170Sure? 36170 That all?"
36170That''s Mallinsbee''s-- word?
36170The fainting-- really?
36170The old dad? 36170 The proprietor of the-- hotel?"
36170Then what are we to do?
36170Then where''s the argument?
36170Then who is it, sir?
36170Then you saw him stop me on Main Street yesterday?
36170Then-- to- night?
36170Then? 36170 There''s that darned fire- escape out back, right down from his room, an''what man has ever locked his barn in these parts?
36170There, what do you think of it?
36170They treating you-- right?
36170Think of it? 36170 Tired?
36170Trouble? 36170 Trouble?"
36170Two? 36170 Van Henslaer?"
36170Wal, what''s his proposition?
36170Well-- ain''t we?

36170What comes next?
36170What d''you mean?
36170What did I tell you, Mr. Van Henslaer?
36170What do you mean?
36170What does them big coal seams tell you? 36170 What happened-- out there?"
36170What in thunder is he chasin''caribou for when there''s things to be settled once and for all that wo n''t keep? 36170 What in thunder?
36170What is it?
36170What is it?
36170What makes you think that way?
36170What nursing home will you send Gordon to when he gets back?
36170What place is this?
36170What were you coming to-- see me for?
36170What would it be worth to you to be able to read his code?
36170What''s Gordon done?
36170What''s amiss with Snake''s Fall?
36170What''s happening?
36170What''s the President of the Union Grayling and Ukataw Railroad got to do with it?
36170What''s the matter, momma?
36170What''s the matter?
36170What''s-- the real champagne?
36170What-- what are you going to do-- then?
36170Whatever will he say when he knows?
36170Wher''is the bloomin''depot to be? 36170 Where are we?"
36170Where is that''sharp''? 36170 Where is the boy?"
36170Which is the best way?
36170White man?
36170Who is she?
36170Who says that?
36170Who thinks you a-- fool?
36170Who was that rotten- looking''sharp''you were yarning to when I came in?
36170Who-- who do you think has done this?
36170Why did you say there was?
36170Why not? 36170 Why not?
36170Why not?
36170Why should n''t I do this? 36170 Why six months?"
36170Why?
36170Will Slosson be around soon?
36170With a name like''Van Henslaer''--you ai n''t Irish?
36170Worried?
36170Worse?
36170Would it?
36170You ai n''t for Snake''s Fall?
36170You ai n''t going to send that?
36170You can read it?
36170You had an office?
36170You have absolute power to deal in Mallinsbee''s interest?
36170You just need to copy the message out? 36170 You mean-- with your father a prisoner?"
36170You really want me to do-- all this?
36170You said you guessed how the scrap would end?
36170You said-- a half- share?
36170You say Mr. Gordon''s married?
36170You see, we have become sort of partners in most everything, have n''t we? 36170 You were educated in Boston?"
36170You will-- need a man when you come back, sir?
36170You will?
36170You wo n''t need to disfigure my record?
36170You''re going to-- marry her?
36170You''re lookin''kind of-- happy?
36170You''re thinkin''something?
36170You''re thinking of the Buffalo Point scheme?
36170You''re wonderin''''bout that patch?
36170You''re-- going to pay it?
36170You''ve sold?
36170You''ve told your mother, Gordon?
36170You''ve-- made-- good?
36170You, Hazel?
36170You-- don''t think me-- a-- fool?
36170You-- mean our folks have located our whereabouts and-- are going to rescue us?
36170You-- would keep me here a prisoner-- indefinitely?
36170You? 36170 Your father-- the-- millionaire-- James Carbhoy?"
36170A lady?
36170A little of the''48 brandy, sir?"
36170After all, what did it matter?
36170After all, why should she attempt to bluff him?
36170An oyster cocktail?
36170An''you''ll guarantee that scrap up?"
36170And when it came what-- what then?
36170And who were the attacking party?
36170And would he use it?
36170And yet---- Had he intended this stake as his last?
36170And you,"he gazed inquiringly into the man''s strong face,"you began it from-- the beginning?"
36170And your father is----?"
36170And, anyway, what was the meaning of the rise in prices at that end?
36170Any of youse?"
36170Anything else, sir?"
36170Anyway, you made it plain I''m to look after the-- prisoner?"
36170Are n''t we, Daddy, dear?"
36170Are they goin''to pay?
36170Are we for bed?"
36170Are you needing anything, or-- will you get busy?"
36170Are you scared any?
36170Besides, now you''ve completed your-- graft, what about your poor long- suffering prisoners?
36170Bluff?
36170But I ca n''t mail direct, or she''ll know where I am, see?
36170But how do we stand up there?
36170But how?
36170But how?
36170But most of all-- why?
36170But what about saddle horses for a rapid bolt?
36170But what are you doing around-- now?"
36170But you did n''t ask me to ride all these miles in to-- to say just all these nice things to me, Gordon?
36170But----""But-- what?"
36170Can I help any?"
36170Can you doubt?
36170Can you hire me a rig?"
36170Can you make a pile?"
36170Can you show me a detail of human nature which is truly honest?
36170Caribou?
36170Compensations?
36170Could it be that----?
36170D''you know, if you were to ask me just to pass the salt at supper it would sound to me like the taste of ice- cream?"
36170Did his father intend to-- kick him out?
36170Did the governor leave me one?
36170Did you ever know a kid take his physic without the promise of candy, or the certainty it would come his way?
36170Did you ever see a kid around his parents?
36170Do you get me?
36170Do you get me?
36170Do you get the lesson of it?
36170Do you know what would happen?
36170Do you know, in this thing I''m dead honest when I''m dealing with honest folk, and I''m a''sharp''when I''m dealing with''sharps''?
36170Do you need me to tell_ you_ of it?
36170Do you think we''ll get back to our folks?
36170Do?
36170Does he think I''m going to wait around while he gets chasin''--caribou?"
36170Does it remain-- anyway?
36170Does that tell you anything?
36170Dreams?
36170Eh?
36170Ever played''draw''with a one- eyed man?
36170Five thousand dollars, is n''t it?
36170Fool?
36170For-- as long as we live?"
36170Fortune?"
36170Get me, Peter?
36170Get me?
36170Get me?
36170Get me?
36170Get that?
36170Had Harker sent up and was this a sheriff''s posse?
36170Had he a revolver?
36170Had he been bought over?
36170Had he been dealt with, too?
36170Had he been handled by these folk, or had he doubled?
36170Had he not fought for her as those warriors of old would have done?
36170Hazel-- what?
36170He never said a word?"
36170He owns all the land along the railroad, does n''t he?"
36170He''s got everything ready?"
36170He''s''Gordon,''eh?"
36170Here, or yonder to the west at Buffalo Point?
36170Hev a smoke?"
36170Hev''you got two eyes to your head which do n''t convey no meaning to your brain?
36170How I stand?
36170How are you going to save us all from the consequences of your evil ways?
36170How are you?
36170How could he measure his wits against the wits of such land speculators as he saw about him?
36170How could it be otherwise?
36170How could there be?
36170How did he get there?
36170How did you gain control of the Union Grayling and Ukataw Railroad?
36170How do you stand with the folks up there?"
36170How does he do it?
36170How far is that father justified in doping his son''s liquor, so he wo n''t lie awake at nights planning to roll him for his wad next morning?
36170How had he gone?
36170How has it been made?
36170How in the world have you got into the hands of these ruffians?"
36170How on earth could I expect you to ride in a stranger''s buggy, with said stranger on the business end of the lines?
36170How on earth did he get there?
36170How on earth was he to make one hundred thousand dollars in six months?
36170How was he to turn this thing to account?
36170How''ud you fancy stealin''Mr. Mallinsbee?
36170How- do?"
36170How?
36170How?
36170How?"
36170How?"
36170How?"
36170I do n''t just see----""How?
36170I guess I''m the luckiest feller alive winning her for a wife, eh?"
36170I s''pose codes can be read, though?
36170I s''pose you fancy it''s a sure thing?"
36170I wonder what Slosson''s thinking?"
36170If Slosson insulted her----?
36170If you ca n''t agree?"
36170Immoral?
36170Immoral?
36170Insults?
36170Is it a bet?"
36170Is it a bet?"
36170Is there much more of it?"
36170Is this so?"
36170Jump right in, and I''ll drive you-- where is it?"
36170Makes you laugh, does n''t it?
36170May I read them?
36170Maybe you''re not used to the prairie?"
36170Must it end then, Hazel?"
36170No?
36170No?
36170No?
36170Now if you tell me-- what''s the matter?"
36170Now?
36170Office?
36170One of those''multiflavums''of yours you keep for drummers?"
36170Or was it a broad river of grass?
36170Peter wise?"
36170Quite a piece of money, eh?
36170Sacrifice?"
36170Say, I s''pose you figure this is a great place to make money?
36170Say, I wonder how much sense they reckon they''ve seen in me?"
36170Say, ai n''t the gal you fancy the biggest graft of all?
36170Say, ca n''t it be partners-- for life?"
36170Say, can you beat it?
36170Say, do n''t you sort of feel like a criminal?
36170Say, do you know what it means to a kid when he''s dared to do some fool trick that may cost his life?
36170Say, do you think that little girl of yours and her father have gone to bed yet?"
36170Say, ever heard the name of Carbhoy?
36170Say, have you figured out how we stand?
36170Say, how can we be sure till we''ve fixed things the way we want''em?
36170Say, how did you come to be driving me?"
36170Say, is he smart, or is he just a-- crook?"
36170Say, was he here this morning?
36170Say, what''s going to happen next?"
36170Say, why were you riding in to the ranch-- at dead of night?"
36170Say, you ai n''t got paralysis of the arm yet?
36170Say, you do n''t figure to sink dollars that way yourself?
36170Say, you ever tried to hold a slimy eel?"
36170Say, you''re sure-- sure of things?"
36170Say, you''ve shown your ability to spend that amount; can you show your ability to make it?"
36170Say----""What?"
36170Say----""You mean I''ll get hung up for-- ten months?"
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?
36170See?"
36170See?"
36170Sid Blake?"
36170So it''s''Gordon,''eh?
36170Sort o''meracle, you''d say?
36170Spoil a dinner like that with--''48 brandy?
36170Squab on toast, or a little pheasant?
36170Still, why not?
36170Sure?
36170Surely his own exertions as a business man was a broken reed to---- What about failure?
36170That all your baggage?"
36170That all?"
36170That clear?
36170That do n''t make him out a fool, does it?"
36170That you, Charlie?
36170That you, Harker?
36170That''s about his opinion of me, eh?"
36170The first is, is it a fact that the President of the Union Grayling and Ukataw Railroad is your guest at the present moment?
36170The game''s played out, and-- we quit?"
36170The other was how could they hope to deal with the Union Grayling without my authority?
36170Then he went on rapidly--"What baggage do you suggest for a six months''trip?"
36170Then he went on, with a suggestion of doubt in his tone,"You deal with his business-- confidential?"
36170Then she added playfully:"What''s ruffled the atmosphere of our-- dovecote?"
36170Then what was the purpose to be served?
36170Then where are you?
36170Then with an unusual diffidence,"Coffee, sir?
36170Then, with a dramatic touch,"Say, Mr. Carbhoy, do you guess we''ll ever-- get out of this?
36170Then--"Say, what''s your stake?"
36170They''re hitting it up good, eh?"
36170True?
36170True?"
36170Was Slosson at its head?
36170Was he given a free hand?
36170Was not this sufficient to make it a day of days?
36170Was there any thought in the world so inspiring as that which had the support of the most wonderful creature he had ever met for its inspiration?
36170Was there ever a more perfect imbecile?
36170Was there ever anything more immoral than modern finance?
36170Was there ever such a fool trick?
36170Was this so?
36170Well, if his corporation turns him down, how do we stand?
36170Well?"
36170What about sweets, sir, and what wine will you take?"
36170What could he do?
36170What could they achieve with regard to the railroad without his authority?
36170What did he know about land?
36170What did he know?
36170What do you mean to do?"
36170What does it matter to me what I may have to put up with if I can help him out?
36170What else, unless it''s coal, would they talk in Snake''s Fall?
36170What else?
36170What had become of Slosson?
36170What is the danger I''m running?"
36170What more could a man desire?
36170What power of mischief had driven him to charge his highly respectable father with graft?
36170What then?"
36170What was his name--"Van Henslaer"?
36170What was the meaning of it?
36170What was the use?
36170What was this wild scheme he had suddenly conceived, almost the first moment he was left in sole control?
36170What was to follow-- failure?
36170What would Gordon''s father do?
36170What would he have?
36170What would we have worth living for?
36170What would you give him?"
36170What''s that?
36170What''s the danger?
36170What''s the next play, Miss?"
36170What''s the use in settin''around here talking murder when the plums are lyin''around?
36170What''s the use?
36170What''s this?
36170What''s----""The coalpits?
36170What, these speculators asked themselves, and each other, did the incident portend, what had the future in store?
36170What?"
36170When would that"kick"come, and where would it be delivered?
36170Where does obligation lie?
36170Where was he?
36170Where''s Mallinsbee?"
36170Where''s your enthusiasm?
36170Where''s your joy of life?
36170Where''s your romance, and-- and spirit of hope?"
36170Where?"
36170Which is it?
36170Who could he be?
36170Who said''lose''?"
36170Who was he?
36170Who was he?"
36170Who''s your friend?"
36170Why not?
36170Why should he not cut across to the westward and intercept her on the way from the ranch?
36170Why should n''t a daughter be allowed to make her own mess of things, and later on, when she collects sense, clean it up again the best she knows?
36170Why, what was there to stop him, sir?
36170Will he fall for Slosson''s game to get us where he wants us?
36170Will he stand for his crazy buying?
36170Will you come in on the wildest, most crazy scheme you ever heard of?
36170Will you come in?"
36170Will you need your polo kit, sir, and your----?"
36170Will you-- shall it be-- partners-- always?"
36170With what object?
36170Working late, eh?
36170Would it be the reply he desired, or an uncompromising negative?
36170Would n''t you help him if you had such a dear, quaint old daddy as I have?
36170Would n''t you rather have him?"
36170Yes-- how?
36170You carry my grips?
36170You get that?
36170You see, Gordon''s not very bright-- is he?"
36170You see, you belong to me, do n''t you?"
36170You wo n''t do so bad yourself?"
36170You''ve only one of the boys here?
36170You?"
36170You?"
36170he cried furiously;"and he''s still alive?"
18789A holiday from what-- from whom?
18789A legal separation?
18789A ring?
18789A week- end tripper, or somebody with a flourish at each end of his name?
18789Accept what?
18789Against a blind girl?
18789Am I not to hear it?
18789Am I the devil tempting you to run crooked?
18789An astonishing likeness?
18789And if ever your present freedom were suddenly denied to you by Fate?
18789And just for that you came back? 18789 And monsieur also?"
18789And then?
18789And then?
18789And this stick?
18789And what is this help you want from me?
18789And what were you doing at Arles?
18789And when our fairy garments turn back to rags?
18789And you propose that I should give them up for nothing?
18789And you won?
18789And you''ll tell no one else?
18789Any address above Cherbourg?
18789Anything else to repent of?
18789Anything else?
18789Are n''t we talking at cross- purposes, Mrs Matheson? 18789 Are n''t you a scientist, Mr Rivière?"
18789Are you going away from Paris?
18789Are you going to marry Mrs Matheson, Dad?
18789Are you ready?... 18789 Are you working this morning?"
18789As a consequence of your advertisement in the newspaper?
18789At Arles, Nîmes, or here?
18789At least you will let me stay by you until you leave Hegelmann''s charge? 18789 Blind and undergoing an operation this very morning?
18789Bluff?
18789But do you know what it means in plain language?
18789But he writes to you?
18789But is Clifford ready to? 18789 But my divorce?"
18789But perhaps mademoiselle will be coming to dine this evening?
18789But surely you will let us help you with the expenses of the first few months?
18789But when I put this before St Aubyn and Carleton- Wingate, they''ll be expecting me to-- I mean to say, is n''t it deuced irregular, you know?
18789But why did you look it up?
18789Ca n''t I dress the wound for you?
18789Ca n''t it wait?
18789Ca n''t you find him?
18789Can I be captain of the yacht?
18789Can you tell me where he went to?
18789Clifford, ca n''t you persuade Miss Verney?
18789Clifford?
18789Climb to where?
18789Could n''t you come on afterwards? 18789 D''you doubt my word?"
18789Depends on what?
18789Did he buy for investment or merely for speculation?
18789Did he leave an address?
18789Did it effect your purpose? 18789 Did marriage change you much?"
18789Did n''t you guess before?
18789Did this belong to your man?
18789Did you examine footprints?
18789Did you find the stick broken?
18789Did you note the number of the cab?
18789Did you satisfy yourself?
18789Do n''t you think so, Clifford?
18789Do you deny it?
18789Do you know that Miss Verney is blind?
18789Do you know that your friends are getting anxious about you?
18789Do you like lilies? 18789 Do you play roulette?"
18789Do you realise that she is eating her heart out in loneliness?
18789Do you remember much of your mother?
18789Do you suffer much?
18789Do you wish me to explain who wrote it, or will you do it yourself?
18789Does anyone else know?
18789Does n''t he approve it?
18789Does n''t your heart tell you?
18789Drugs? 18789 Engaged, or likely to be?"
18789Everything going smooth?
18789Exclusive?
18789Exclusive?
18789Experiment to finish?
18789First, what''s the idea?
18789For his not writing?
18789From whom?
18789Good news? 18789 Had lunch yet?"
18789Has he left no message for me?
18789Have I what?
18789Have you everything you want for the journey?
18789Have you finished your experiments with your brother?
18789Have you heard when Clifford will be back?
18789Have you heard yet from your husband?
18789Have you it with you?
18789Have you seen your brother lately? 18789 Have you such a cable with you?"
18789Have you written evidence of that?
18789Heard from Clifford lately?
18789How did you first guess that white lilac is my favourite flower?
18789How do you like Canada? 18789 How far are you going to climb?"
18789How freedom?
18789How long d''you give her?
18789How long will you be away?
18789How much shall I offer him?
18789How old is she?
18789How would you like to have a new mother?
18789How?
18789How?
18789How?
18789How?
18789Hudson Bay scheme?
18789I am hoping to get promotion in the office, and then----"Do you understand how to get promotion?
18789I do n''t know-- what does it matter?
18789I hope you will excuse my running away so brusquely? 18789 I mean, what did he tell you to do?"
18789I must know this: did she suggest the idea of the allowance or did you?
18789I remember being very much impressed by it at the time.... Yours must be particularly interesting work?
18789I suppose I could get his address through Miss Verney?
18789I suppose Sir Francis knows all about everything?
18789I suppose he explained matters to you?
18789I suppose that you know that the other two boats were picked up early this morning?
18789I suppose you found out afterwards that you''d made a mistake, and then blamed it on to me?
18789I wonder if men ever have that feeling as strongly as we women do?
18789I''m right in calling you_ Miss_ Verney?
18789Imitaciong oyster?
18789In what?
18789In which sphere?
18789Is Mr Larssen on the yacht?
18789Is it not right?
18789Is n''t May 3rd the day that ends your agreement?
18789Is n''t that a very unusual arrangement?
18789Is n''t that for you to decide, Clifford dear?
18789Is she so very attractive to you?
18789Is she so very beautiful, this enchantress of yours?
18789Is she----Is she the lady you meant when you said on board ship you were going to marry someone?
18789Is that very important?
18789Is there room for all of us?
18789It was not pity for me? 18789 It would not be possible for him to travel to here?"
18789Just one more question: are you a good sailor?
18789May I continue the lesson?
18789May I know what the fight was about?
18789May I see the letter?
18789Miss Verney told you that?
18789Miss Verney,he said,"I wonder if you would do me a very big favour without asking for my reasons in detail?
18789Mrs Matheson''s compliments, and will you come aboard?
18789Mrs Matheson-- do you like her?
18789Must I speak more definitely?
18789My help?
18789No need for thanks-- wait till I''ve worked the_ deus ex machinâ_ stunt.... What do you think of my boy?
18789Not enough in it for you?
18789Nothing else worth reporting, I think.... Do you recognize this coat and stick as belonging to Mr Matheson, sir?
18789Now see here,pursued the shipowner, fixing his eyes deep into the young man''s,"why did you lie to me just now?"
18789Or a message?
18789Or say where he was going?
18789Promised?
18789Quickly?
18789Reckon you will to- day.... Say, could n''t you look in Mr Matheson''s desk to find the address of this Mr Rivière?
18789Repent of what?
18789Right-- I''ll remember.... By the way, about the Hudson Bay company, did I tell you that the underwriting negotiations are going through fine? 18789 Rivière?"
18789Scientific work, is n''t it?
18789Shall I lure the children away?
18789Shall I see you at breakfast?
18789Shall I send him on to Roehampton after he''s seen me?
18789Shall we say 10.30?
18789So little? 18789 Suppose we drop your father at the Cabaret while we go on to see my offices?"
18789Suppose you enclose this when you''re writing to Matheson? 18789 Sure they were his?"
18789Sure?
18789Surely you knew that I''d provide for you?
18789Surely you remember?
18789Sylvester, you recognize this man?
18789Take them to the police?
18789Taking her back any presents?
18789That means the Verney girl, does it?
18789That means, I take it, that you are ready to accept from my husband?
18789That you''d let the divorce suit go undefended?
18789That''s your last word?
18789The left?
18789The things she said-- you do n''t believe they''re true?
18789The workman''s boots?
18789Then it''s freed you?
18789Then she made some appeal to you?
18789Then what are the facts?
18789Then what are you going to do when you leave the home?
18789Then what is it you do want?
18789Then what the hell''s the reason for this sudden attack of scruples?
18789Then what''s made you switch?
18789Then why did you tell me yesterday that you had cut definitely loose from him? 18789 Then why do n''t you?"
18789Then will you bring St Aubyn and Carleton- Wingate here, and get their consent? 18789 Then you''ve been talking matters over with Mrs Matheson?"
18789Then you''ve had good news from outside? 18789 They sank?"
18789Till May 3rd.... And then?
18789To say if----?
18789To say----?
18789To whom?
18789To- night?
18789To----?
18789Travelling on business?
18789Unreservedly.... By the way, do you know where my brother is at the moment?
18789Want to ask him any questions? 18789 Was n''t she the image of a disappointed vulture?
18789Was n''t this worked into a scene for''Ames Nues,''at the Chatelet?
18789Was that the only reason that made you return?
18789Was that your idea?
18789Was your man hefty with the shillelagh?
18789We?
18789Well, Dean, how are you feeling now? 18789 Well, my next order is this: take a fortnight''s holiday and get strong again.... Do you fish?"
18789Well, sir, what can I do for you?
18789Well, what do you say? 18789 Well, what''s the particular''but''?"
18789Well?
18789Well?
18789Well?
18789Well?
18789Well?
18789Were we destined to meet, do you think?
18789What are you going to do next?
18789What are you going to do when the month is up?
18789What can I have the pleasure of doing for you, sir?
18789What can_ I_ do?
18789What conditions?
18789What d''you mean?
18789What did he tell you?
18789What did he tell you?
18789What do they say?
18789What do they say?
18789What do you want from me?
18789What do you want me to do?
18789What do you want on it?
18789What does a business man mean exactly?
18789What does it matter to me-- now?
18789What else was left for me?
18789What have we hit?
18789What house would take it on at that?
18789What inferences?
18789What is it you want from me?
18789What is it?
18789What is it?
18789What is it?
18789What made you travel to there?
18789What message did you wish to give to my father?
18789What more can I do than I have done?
18789What more can I do than I have done?
18789What new work?
18789What next?
18789What ought I to want?
18789What people?
18789What reason shall I give him, sir?
18789What then?
18789What work?
18789What would you do?
18789What''s he like?
18789What''s that?
18789What''s that?
18789What''s that?
18789What''s the entertainment for to- night?
18789What''s the matter?
18789What''s the plan?
18789What''s the reason? 18789 What''s the scientific experiment?"
18789What''s this?
18789What''s wrong with it?
18789What''s your new post?
18789What''s your suggestion now?
18789What?
18789What?
18789What_ is_ the plan?
18789Whatever they may be, do you want them put before your wife?
18789When did he say he will be back?
18789When will mademoiselle be able to make the journey?
18789When will they be finished?
18789When?
18789When?
18789When?
18789Where are the other boats?
18789Where are you going for your rest- cure?
18789Where has he gone?
18789Where has he gone?
18789Where is Larssen?
18789Where is she in Wiesbaden?
18789Where''s the point about shares for me?
18789Where?
18789Which company?
18789Which do you like best: the country, or a big city, or the sea?
18789Which friends?
18789Which point?
18789Which was_ the_ reason?
18789Which?
18789Who is Mr John Rivière?
18789Who is Rivière?
18789Who is the man?
18789Who sends cables in my name to my managers?
18789Who wrote it?
18789Who''s this brother?
18789Who''s to hang it up?
18789Why are you here?
18789Why are you so bitter against her?
18789Why could n''t you have stayed away altogether?
18789Why did n''t the fools show a blasted light?
18789Why did n''t they show a blasted light?
18789Why did n''t they show a blasted light?
18789Why did you come back?
18789Why did you have Clifford impersonated?
18789Why did you leave me so abruptly at Arles?
18789Why did you marry_ me_?
18789Why did you say that you had lived with my husband at Nîmes?
18789Why did you take the name of John Rivière?
18789Why do you wish to know?
18789Why is he back from Canada so soon?
18789Why not?
18789Why not?
18789Why not?
18789Why not?
18789Why now?
18789Why should n''t I change my mind?
18789Why should they be afraid of me, Dad?
18789Why to- morrow?
18789Why were you at Arles? 18789 Why?"
18789Why?
18789Why?
18789Why?
18789Why?
18789Why?
18789Will you trust to me-- trust to me implicitly without asking for reasons?
18789Will you write a letter for me to say that I''m unwell and ca n''t travel away from Arles?
18789Wo n''t you believe me when I say that I''m genuinely anxious to do the right thing by you, and clear up the tangle I''ve made of your life and mine? 18789 Wo n''t you read it out?"
18789Woman the sex that gives? 18789 Work?
18789Would n''t you prefer a more cheerful topic?
18789Would you mind coming round to my rooms?
18789Written?
18789Yes...._ Cherchez la femme._"Why do you say that?
18789Yes; but why? 18789 Yes?"
18789Yes?
18789You are an Englishman?
18789You came back because Mr Larssen called you back?
18789You came back to me, but could I have held you?
18789You care for the idea?
18789You do n''t believe----?
18789You do n''t care to go to Canada?
18789You do n''t mean to say that the letter I received from Arles was written by Clifford himself?
18789You do n''t think I ought to----?
18789You have n''t forgotten the little sermon I had to preach to you on the infallibility of my owners, the_ Europe Chronicle_?
18789You intended to----?
18789You know him?
18789You know him?
18789You know human nature?
18789You know what?
18789You mean Hegelmann?
18789You mean a framed- up divorce? 18789 You mean blinded for life-- in both eyes?"
18789You mean that you want Mr Rivière to return to you openly as your husband?
18789You mean that you want to get permission from the Courts to presume death, and then take possession of his property?
18789You mean that you''ll tell them?
18789You mean the extent of the country?
18789You mean women of the underworld? 18789 You never gave in to him on that ground?"
18789You or I?
18789You remember at Nîmes telling me that your father had lost the last remnant of his fortune speculating in one of the Clifford Matheson companies?
18789You remember me-- Martin?
18789You saw through it at once?
18789You specified two_ apaches_, did n''t you?
18789You swear to me that you''ve told no one you''re Clifford Matheson?
18789You tell me he lied?
18789You think I''m trying to bluff you? 18789 You thought me dead?"
18789You want control for yourself?
18789You want me to take it direct on the machine, sir?
18789You went to Arles for research?
18789You will come again later to- night?
18789You withdraw the bricks?
18789You''ll accept it now?
18789You''ll prove to me that you''re Clifford Matheson right enough?
18789You''ll take something with me before you go?
18789You''re certain of that?
18789You''re sure now?
18789You''ve seen Miss Verney, I suppose?
18789Your salary is?
18789Your wife, then, is the woman I saw in the Côte d''Azur Rapide?
18789_ Quien sabe?_There was a long silence between them-- a silence which held no constraint, a silence that exists only between those in deep sympathy.
18789_ Sure?_"Positive. 18789 2 and 4 might be? 18789 352?
18789A blind girl... helpless... without resources of her own.... Do you think I''m flint?"
18789A case of_ cherchez la femme_?
18789A question framed itself on her lips; she hesitated; finally it came out:"Then you were not happy together?"
18789After a moment of reflection he added:"Would it satisfy you if I were to suppress names?"
18789After a pause came this question:"Dad, must I have all your money when I grow up?
18789Aloud he said, with a perfect assumption of resignation:"What do you wish me to do?"
18789And in any case, what right would I have to say yes or no to a private decision of your own?"
18789And why did you force that month''s wait at the last moment?
18789And you?"
18789Are you Mrs Matheson?"
18789Are you agreeable, for one?"
18789BUT FOR HOW LONG?
18789But Rivière answered abruptly:"What did Miss Verney say to you to make such a complete change in your attitude towards her?"
18789But has Clifford approved this scheme?"
18789But what of you, what of you?"
18789But why that brusque, boorish disappearance from Arles?
18789But will he stay away from you?"
18789CHAPTER VIII WHO AND WHERE IS RIVIÈRE?
18789Cabin and all quite comfortable?"
18789Can you recognize the make of machine off- hand?"
18789Clifford when_ will_ you learn to read a woman?"
18789Come, which is it-- morphia, hashish or what?"
18789Could n''t some one else have some of it?"
18789Could you come to the office?"
18789D''you get that?"
18789DO YOU CHOOSE HELL?
18789Did n''t I tell you to fight every boy in the school until they acknowledged you master?"
18789Did n''t he write you to that effect, Sir Francis?"
18789Did n''t you tell me that?"
18789Did you know then that I wanted you to speak to me?
18789Do men and women look to you like animals?
18789Do n''t you see the danger now?
18789Do we understand that you wish to deny it?"
18789Do you dream for one instant that his word would stand against mine in a court of law?
18789Do you know that it''s doubtful if she will ever recover any of her sight?"
18789Do you want me to put them there?"
18789Do you_ know_?"
18789Does it taste sweet?''
18789Ever notice that London is ringed around with the smell of fried fish and naphtha of an evening?
18789For what?"
18789Got that?"
18789Had Clifford, suspecting her feelings towards Larssen, returned hurriedly in order to trap her?
18789Had he had the right to cut loose from the life of Clifford Matheson?
18789Had he offended her in some way?
18789Had one alone of a married couple the right to decide on such a separation?
18789Had she done the best possible thing to free Rivière?
18789Has anything gone wrong with it?"
18789Has n''t he written you?"
18789Have you everything you want for the journey?"
18789Have you got those signatures of Clifford Matheson''s?"
18789Have you seen anything of him?"
18789Have you the pluck to take your opportunity?"
18789He paused suddenly in the doorway and asked her abruptly:"How do you know my name?"
18789Her slender means would soon be exhausted-- what was she to do then?
18789How does it strike you?"
18789How many fights did you have this term, before you got ill?"
18789How-- why?
18789I always hate to be taken at a disadvantage, as you ought to know by now.... Clifford, when_ will_ you learn to read women as well as you read men?
18789I do n''t bluff-- shall I ring and have my secretary show it to you?"
18789I have every confidence in your skill, but is it not possible that the help of an eye specialist from Paris or Lyons might be of service?"
18789I made a special interview with him.... By the way, you know that the Hudson Bay flotation is going strong on the wing?"
18789I shivered even at the words.... Do you believe in Fate?"
18789I take it you only arrived in Wiesbaden to- day?"
18789I thought then.... And when you offered to devote your life to me?
18789I''ll make allowances for you-- will_ you_ make allowances for me?"
18789I, doctor?"
18789In which part of the ship does he live?"
18789Is Clifford in London?"
18789Is he engaged on any big scheme just now?
18789Is n''t it possible for you to suppress this story?"
18789Is n''t that what you think as well as I?"
18789Is she an ambitious girl?"
18789Is that your idea of fraud?"
18789Is there anything I can do for you before I go?"
18789Is there no form of_ quid pro quo_...?"
18789It''s in connexion with the Hudson Bay scheme-- you know about that?"
18789It''s----It''s-- oh, what is the German for''vital?''"
18789Lars Larssen would have said to himself:"Which woman do I want?"
18789Larssen did not answer, but Olive rejoined sharply:"What does it matter if it helps to get the flotation off and make money?"
18789Looking for a raise already?"
18789Meanwhile, doing anything to- night?
18789Now I''m relieved.... Is the laboratory here well equipped?"
18789Now what is the wording written over it in ink?"
18789Now, do n''t you feel better at having worked out the idea all on your own?"
18789Of course you found nothing at the hospital?"
18789Of what use to her would be the silken- padded cage she had longed to buy, when life held for her no work, no love?
18789Or political ambitions, perhaps?
18789Perhaps you could put me on to a news story in that direction?
18789Presently he resumed:"Where is he now?"
18789Quite sure you remember all my orders?"
18789Rivière?
18789Rivière?
18789Said Martin:"You want to talk about contraband of war?
18789Say to- morrow morning?"
18789Shall I take your message?"
18789She''ll be a different woman now.... Can you see to write?"
18789Should she return to the nursing home, and wait about in its neighbourhood in the hope of meeting her husband on his way to see Elaine?
18789Should she try the laboratory once more?
18789Should she walk the length of the Wilhelmstrasse on the chance of crossing him there?
18789So much for this world; and now, my friends, what of the next world?"
18789Sound good to you?"
18789Still----""Can you fix up St Aubyn and Carleton- Wingate?"
18789Suppose I show you over it?"
18789Surely, Olive, you can spare me for a day?
18789Take the draft scheme and look it through at your leisure.... Now what''s the plan of amusement for to- night?"
18789That evades his agreement with me.... What''s the price of a full- page advertisement in your paper?"
18789That he was free to live out his life as John Rivière?"
18789That you never wanted to see him again?
18789That''s it, is n''t it?"
18789That''s the big test, is n''t it?"
18789The devil stands beside them and whispers mockingly:''I have given you everything your heart lusted for; does it taste sweet?
18789The doctor had spoken of saving the right eye, but was this mere professional optimism?
18789The usual arranged affair?"
18789Then she added:"And you''re wondering why an unmarried woman should be wandering alone amongst the by- ways of France?"
18789Then she asked:"Will you write a letter for me?"
18789There must be something underlying Matheson''s sudden access of scruples-- what was it?
18789There was an unlooked- for constraint in her voice as she inquired:"Another cup?"
18789Under cover of the playing, while Sir Francis was reading a novel of turf life, Olive whispered:"Ca n''t we have a few moments together by ourselves?"
18789Vat name shall I say?"
18789Was Fate to punish him through the woman he loved?
18789Was mother very beautiful?"
18789Was there nobody who could throw light on his whereabouts?
18789We saved up some of it for to- day-- have you seen?
18789What about Rivière-- is he coming to Monte?"
18789What are you going to do about the coat and stick at Neuilly?"
18789What are_ your_ ambitions?"
18789What did he guess?
18789What did he know?
18789What did you say the man''s name was?"
18789What did you tell him?"
18789What do you want me to do?"
18789What do you want?"
18789What does it say?"
18789What had Olive said to him?
18789What have you been doing to yourself?
18789What name did you say?"
18789What possible----?"
18789What was Elaine to do with her life?
18789What was she to do for her livelihood?
18789What was the man driving at?
18789What was the subject of your interview with him?"
18789What''s happened to make you switch at the last moment?"
18789What''s the meaning of all this?"
18789What''s the particular text you''re heaving bricks at?"
18789When Olive had finished, Matheson asked her quietly:"Why did you marry me?"
18789When are you coming yourself?"
18789When he had the young fellow seated with the light full on him, Larssen asked coldly:"What''s your song?
18789Where is Rivière?
18789Where is he?"
18789Where was Rivière?
18789Which is it to be-- you or I?"
18789Which will you hear first, your husband''s or mine?"
18789Who and where is Rivière?
18789Who banged the lid down?"
18789Who is Rivière?"
18789Who is speaking?"
18789Who was this man?
18789Why all this mystery surrounding him?
18789Why are you here?
18789Why could n''t they realise how little their patient, plodding service could ever bring them?
18789Why did they lower so slowly?
18789Why do n''t you row?
18789Why does n''t he write?
18789Why had Rivière sent no answer to her message?
18789Why had he not come to Monte Carlo as arranged?
18789Why had he sent no line to Olive to excuse himself?
18789Why have you changed your appearance?
18789Why not see a doctor and get him to prescribe you a tonic and a quiet place to build up your health in?
18789Why should he sacrifice her for the sake of an altruistic ideal?
18789Why should such an impossible story be set afloat, and what was the"reliable source"spoken of?
18789Why this sudden cold reserve?
18789Why was she at Arles?"
18789Why wo n''t you be frank with me?"
18789Why?"
18789Will you excuse me?
18789Will you give me your address?"
18789Will you take him round and show him everything?"
18789Will you tell him that I am here?"
18789Wo n''t you stay and take lunch with me?
18789Would I be mad enough to risk my reputation unless I had looked at every move on the board?"
18789Would Olive be the right stepmother for the boy?
18789Would it be better for her to be at the hotel, or at the town hospital, or here?"
18789Would n''t it be kinder to let_ me_ arrange it?"
18789Would release ever come in time to save him?
18789You agree?"
18789You do n''t imagine that it''s sufficient merely to say you do n''t defend the suit?
18789You know some of their tricks?"
18789You know that I never break a promise to my staff?"
18789You note that I place Mrs Matheson before yourself?
18789You notice that I limp a little?
18789You remember that, do n''t you?"
18789You understand my position now, Miss Verney?"
18789You''re going home on holiday, I expect?"
18789You''re quite certain you''d like to hear the outside view of your actions this past three weeks?"
18789You''ve freed my hands to fight down Larssen, but at what a cost to yourself?"
18789and Larssen''s little boy?"
18789cover?
18789man when you started your business life, or did you come to realize it gradually?"
14204A good or a bad omen?
14204A lady friend of mine, sir?
14204A man at twenty- eight? 14204 About to be?"
14204After all,she added in an effort to appear cheerful,"what matter where we live so long as we have each other?"
14204Ah, that''s just it-- how?
14204Ah, your daughter-- you have a daughter?
14204Am I as bad as that?
14204An injustice?
14204And marry her?
14204And so he must be sacrificed?
14204And what do you think was the reason for preserving the anonymity?
14204And you, father-- do you believe Ryder did this?
14204Another friend like that of yesterday?
14204Any relation to J.B.?
14204Anything against her character?
14204Are n''t you proud of me, dad?
14204Are the Republican Committee still waiting?
14204Because?
14204Blame you? 14204 But because a woman has a good character, that does n''t necessarily make her a desirable match, does it?"
14204But can such things be in a civilized community?
14204But if-- he loves Judge Rossmore''s daughter?
14204But what are you going to do?
14204But what can you do?
14204But why should you punish me because my father fails to regard the matter as we do?
14204But,said Shirley puzzled,"I shall have to tell him that you--""What?"
14204By the way, Bagley,asked Jefferson,"when do you expect father to return?
14204Can I do anything for you, Miss?
14204Can not he be exposed, wo n''t the press take the matter up, can not we show conspiracy?
14204Could n''t you compel him to return them?
14204Criminal?
14204Did n''t you ask me to see you here?
14204Did they tell you who I am-- the daughter of Judge Rossmore?
14204Did you ask for me, sir?
14204Did you have a good time?
14204Did you tell Shirley?
14204Did you want to see me, father?
14204Do n''t you agree with me?
14204Do n''t you think your daughter should be informed of what has happened?
14204Do n''t you want to walk a little?
14204Do they?
14204Do you expect me to sit and listen patiently to your wild theories of social reform? 14204 Do you know what she has done?"
14204Do you mean to say that if you had positive proof?
14204Do you really believe this, that John Ryder deliberately concocted the bribery charge with the sole purpose of ruining my father?
14204Do you still intend going away?
14204Do you think I''d marry a man whose father is as deep a discredit to the human race as your father is? 14204 Does she mean it?"
14204Does your son still love this girl? 14204 Doing?"
14204Elope with the secretary?
14204Finally?
14204Five thousand dollars?
14204From Judge Rossmore, were they not?
14204From whom did you receive these letters?
14204Gone away-- where?
14204Has Sergeant Ellison come?
14204Has any woman sifted it over?
14204Have n''t you a word of shame for this disgrace you have brought upon me?
14204Have you absolute proof in that drawer?
14204Have you anything to add?
14204Have you ever seen these letters before?
14204Have you found the author of''The American Octopus''?
14204Have you stopped to think whether it would be fair to me?
14204Have you?
14204Hello, Jorkins, are you there? 14204 Hello, Shirley,"he cried gaily;"who would have expected to find you rusticating on a bench here?
14204How are you going to tell him?
14204How are you, Mr. Grimsby? 14204 How dare you address me in this manner when you know I and Mr. Ryder are engaged?"
14204How dare you presume to judge my actions or to criticise my methods?
14204How dare you treat my things in this manner?
14204How did she take it?
14204How did you know it was Judge Rossmore?
14204How do_ you_ know?
14204How does he take it?
14204How is your father?
14204How?
14204I could stay here forever, could n''t you?
14204I mean, What can you show as your life work? 14204 I often--""If I let you?"
14204I suppose we can guess what the business is, eh?
14204I think it would postpone the era of the Brotherhood of man indefinitely, do n''t you?
14204I-- er-- we-- er-- my sister Jane and I called to--"Wo n''t you sit down?
14204If the history of every financial transaction were made known, how many of us would escape public disgrace? 14204 If you had absolute proof in that drawer, for instance?
14204In what category would I be placed?
14204Is father still reading this?
14204Is it a bargain?
14204Is it their own?
14204Is it true then that he is selfishness incarnate? 14204 Is it true"asked the senator,"that you were about to marry this man secretly?"
14204Is marriage so very commonplace?
14204Is my father in?
14204Is n''t it beautiful?
14204Is n''t it delightful here?
14204Is n''t it?
14204Is n''t that rather strong?
14204Is not the road rich enough to bear the loss?
14204Is that you, Bagley? 14204 Is there?"
14204It is n''t that Rossmore girl, is it?
14204It''s a cute little house, is n''t it?
14204It''s a point in her favor, is n''t it?
14204Jane, do you know you are uttering a blasphemy? 14204 Let me see,"stammered the secretary,"there is the White Star, the North German Lloyd, the Atlantic Transport--""Have you any preference?"
14204Make her my wife?
14204May I come in to say good- bye?
14204May I come in?
14204May I have a few minutes of your time, father?
14204Miss Shirley Rossmore?
14204My dear Miss Green,she gasped;"what''s this I hear-- going away suddenly without giving me warning?"
14204My dear boy, when did you arrive?
14204My dear child,he said,"what are you talking about?
14204Not even if I had the absolute proof in that drawer?
14204Now tell me,he said,"what does it all mean?
14204Of course, you''re not going to- night?
14204Oh no-- no but--"No engagement at eleven o''clock tomorrow morning?
14204Oh say-- this is hardly fair-- three against one-- really-- I''m awfully sorry, eh, what?
14204Oh,exclaimed the financier,"then you think it is a mere_ nom de plume_?"
14204Oh,laughed Jefferson,"he''s afraid some one will kidnap him?
14204Perhaps I had better go?
14204Please, miss, will you come down to lunch?
14204Prejudices against a thousand million dollars?
14204Prying, did you say?
14204Ready for work again, eh? 14204 Really?"
14204Returns to England?
14204Run away with her?
14204Say, Bagley,he cried,"what does this mean?
14204Say?
14204Shirley,he said,"do you remember that talk we had on the ship?
14204So I contaminate even good money?
14204So bad that I contaminate even good money?
14204So his fate is decided even before he is tried?
14204So she has refused you again, eh?
14204So soon?
14204So that is the mysterious work you spoke of-- to get those letters?
14204So you are Shirley Green, eh?
14204So you think your life is a good example to follow?
14204So you thought my daughter looked pale and that a little excursion to Buffalo would be a good thing for her? 14204 So you''re not going away now?"
14204So,he said sternly,"this is your latest act of rebellion, is it?
14204Something of the sort-- how did you guess?
14204Something to compensate?
14204Suppose the injunction is sustained?
14204Suppose,she said,"we all wanted to follow it, suppose we all wanted to be the richest, the most powerful personage in the world?"
14204Surely you can guess when I say the most powerful man in the United States? 14204 Tell me,"he repeated,"what do the papers say about the book?"
14204That is right,he replied;"but which is likely to give you greater joy-- a literary success or a happy wifehood?
14204That means that Judge Rossmore will be removed?
14204The dying father, the sorrowing mother-- and the daughter, what is she supposed to be doing?
14204The law?
14204Then why did you remain here with me when the Senator went out with Mr. Ryder, senior?
14204Those letters my father speaks of-- they would be useful, would they not?
14204To meet me and my son?
14204To- morrow?
14204Upstairs-- three rooms, eh? 14204 We are very fortunate in having such pleasant weather, do n''t you think so, Madam?
14204Well, Bagley?
14204Well, Jefferson,he said kindly,"did you have a good time abroad?"
14204Well, Sergeant, what have you got to report?
14204Well, is that all?
14204Well, sergeant,said Mr. Ryder cordially,"what have you to tell me?
14204Well, what do you say?
14204Well, what have you been doing about the book?
14204Well, what of it?
14204Well-- what then?
14204Well?
14204What about these newspaper charges? 14204 What did you say?"
14204What do I care what the world says when I''m dead?
14204What do you mean, child? 14204 What do you mean, sir?"
14204What do you mean? 14204 What do you mean?"
14204What do you mean?
14204What do you mean?
14204What do you want me to call you?
14204What have I done?
14204What have they done to you?
14204What have you got there?
14204What is socialism?
14204What is the moral of your life?
14204What letters do you refer to?
14204What objection has your son to Miss Roberts?
14204What rabble?
14204What reasons?
14204What steamers leave to- morrow for England?
14204What will it give the public that it has not got already?
14204What will you do?
14204What''s brought you from Washington at a critical time like this? 14204 What''s that about mother dancing?"
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s the matter?
14204What''s the objection to the girl?
14204What?
14204When do they attend lectures?
14204When do they read?
14204When shall we be in, captain?
14204Where are the letters?
14204Where are you going?
14204Where is his daughter?
14204Where''s father?
14204Where''s your list?
14204Where,he asked,"Madison Avenue?"
14204Who are they?
14204Who else?
14204Who the devil is this Bagley?
14204Who was here first?
14204Who''s there?
14204Who''s there?
14204Who,he added,"would have the courage to marry a girl whose father was publicly disgraced?"
14204Who?
14204Why ca n''t you govern yourself?
14204Why did you do this?
14204Why do n''t you shake hands with her?
14204Why do n''t you study women for a change?
14204Why do you ask? 14204 Why do you want to add to the girl''s misery?
14204Why not be accurate?
14204Why not call me Jefferson? 14204 Why not study theology and become a preacher?"
14204Why not? 14204 Why not?
14204Why not?
14204Why not?
14204Why not?
14204Why should I punish myself-- why should we punish those nearest and dearest?
14204Why so sober,demanded Ryder,"you''ve gained your point, your father is to be restored to you, you''ll marry the man you love?"
14204Why, Jeff, my boy, is that you? 14204 Why, Miss Rossmore, what are you doing out driving?"
14204Why, is he wild?
14204Why, is it you, Jeff? 14204 Why?"
14204Will you trust me to go alone?
14204With my daughter?
14204Work?
14204Would you sacrifice my happiness and your own?
14204Yes, yes, Shir-- Miss Green, will you?
14204Yes,said Kate, taking a letter from her bosom,"I wanted to ask you what this means?"
14204Yet what good is your money to you?
14204You are going away?
14204You cabled for Shirley?
14204You cabled for Shirley?
14204You came to ask your father to help you?
14204You do n''t think my life would make good reading?
14204You expected to see Senator Roberts, did n''t you?
14204You going away-- where to?
14204You have work to do-- what work?
14204You may be right and yet--"Am I to help you or not?
14204You mean you think I want to listen to you?
14204You never proposed to run away with my daughter?
14204You sent for me, father?
14204You sent him a copy of''The American Octopus''?
14204You wish to see me, Madame?
14204You work, Shirley? 14204 You?
14204You?
14204You?
14204Your book--''The American Octopus,''is selling well?
14204Your enemies?
14204_ Combien?_he asked the_ cocher_.
14204_ How_ did you make it?
14204_ Wie geht es, meine damen?_Shirley turned on hearing the guttural salutation.
14204_ You?_she inquired in a tone of surprise.
14204_ You_--Miss Green?
14204A man''s life at stake?
14204After a silence he said:"Do you know you say the strangest things?"
14204Ah, why had she spared him in her book?
14204Ah, would n''t it be sublime selfishness?"
14204Am I right?"
14204And even if he did not how could she possibly find those letters with him watching her, and all in the brief time of a conventional afternoon call?
14204And what of the future?
14204And what, asks the foreigner, has the American hustler accomplished that his slower- going Continental brother has not done as well?
14204And you-- you have the brazen effrontery to ask me to plead for your father?
14204Are you afraid I shall love you?
14204Are you afraid he will love you?
14204Are you prepared to reconstruct human nature?"
14204Are you willing to sacrifice your son''s future to a mere boyish whim?"
14204Are you--?"
14204Arranging the pillow under her head, he asked:"Is that comfortable?"
14204As a gentle hint he said softly:"Did I interrupt you, Madam?"
14204As to the newspapers-- when did you ever hear of them championing a man when he''s down?"
14204Back from Europe, Jefferson?
14204Besides, was not Mr. Ryder returning home on the same ship?
14204Besides,"she added,"what right have I to object?"
14204But Ryder, Sr., continued:"Do I care?
14204But before he could open his mouth Mr. Ryder said:"Bagley, when did you see my son, Jefferson, last?"
14204But by what strange fatality, he thought to himself, had his daughter in this book of hers assailed the very man who had encompassed his own ruin?
14204But did she care for him?
14204But evidently she thought better of it, for, taking a cue from Mrs. Rossmore, she asked in the sarcastic manner of her mistress:"Four is it now, M''m?
14204But how about this?"
14204But how could he employ her?
14204But how could he tell Shirley?
14204But how could they be got at?
14204But how on earth did Judge Rossmore''s daughter come to be travelling in the company of John Burkett Ryder''s son?
14204But is the judiciary hostile?
14204But it was smart of Jefferson to have sent Ryder, Sr., the book, so she smiled graciously on his son as she asked:"How do you know he got it?
14204But she could never remain angry long, and when they said good- night she whispered demurely:"Are you cross with me, Jeff?"
14204But what was being done?
14204But where''s the daughter now?"
14204But, thought Jefferson, why should he spoil a good thing?
14204By what mysterious agency had this man penetrated his own most intimate thoughts?
14204CHAPTER IV"Tell me, what do the papers say?"
14204Can you guess what it was?"
14204Can you wait till I''m through?
14204Closing quote inserted:"How?"
14204Closing quote inserted:... What account will you be able to give?"
14204Closing quote inserted:... a hopeless love?"
14204Come, what do you say?"
14204Come, what is it?"
14204Come, will you join forces with me?"
14204Could Jefferson''s father have done them such a wrong as this?
14204Could he be dreaming?
14204Could he do so again?
14204Could he dream that the Great Northwestern Mining Company and the company to which he had entrusted his few thousands were one and the same?
14204Could it be that the proceedings in the Senate were ended and the result known?
14204Could one have fine houses to live in, or all sorts of modern conveniences to add to one''s comfort, without money?
14204Could she believe her ears?
14204Could she conceal them?
14204Could the book- lover buy books, the art- lover purchase pictures?
14204Could the human mind grasp the possibilities of such a colossal fortune?
14204Could this, she thought, explain Jefferson''s strange behaviour?
14204Determined, eh?
14204Did Judge Rossmore take a bribe from the Great Northwestern or did n''t he?
14204Did she love him?
14204Did you ever read the fable of the Lion and the Mouse?
14204Did you go down to Massapequa?"
14204Do n''t you think she has suffered enough?"
14204Do you know a little place on Long Island called Massapequa?"
14204Do you know that I practically control the Congress of the United States and that no legislative measure becomes law unless it has my approval?"
14204Do you know that a man does n''t get his horse sense till he''s forty?"
14204Do you know who the hero is?"
14204Do you know you''re the first woman I ever took into my confidence-- I mean at sight?"
14204Do you realize that my wealth is so vast that I scarcely know myself what I am worth?
14204Do you suppose for one instant that I would condescend to trouble myself with your affairs?"
14204Do you think I''m fool enough to suppose I can buy my way?
14204Does n''t that tell you what the world thinks of your methods?"
14204Does she know of this radical change in your affairs?"
14204Father is going to clear his name of this preposterous charge and we''re going to help him, are n''t we, mother?
14204Finally losing patience she asked him bluntly:"Jefferson, what''s the matter with you to- night?
14204Five millions or competition?
14204For a moment her heart stood still-- suppose the shock of this shameful accusation had killed him?
14204For what?"
14204General Dodge?
14204Going away?
14204Had Ryder any twinges of conscience?
14204Had Ryder really got some plan up his sleeve after all?
14204Had he come, after all?
14204Had he not made a cool twenty millions by the deal?
14204Had his insensate craving for gold and power led him to neglect those other things in life which contribute more truly to man''s happiness?
14204Had my son been seen there?"
14204Had the forces of right and justice prevailed, after all?
14204Has not a President of the United States declared that the State must eventually curb the great fortunes?
14204Has not the flag of socialism waved recently from the White House?
14204Have you ever stopped to think of that?"
14204He must be saved in the Senate, but how-- how?
14204He must do something to prevent it; the marriage must not take place, but what could he do?
14204He repeated:"Did n''t you hear me?
14204He restrained his impatience with difficulty as he replied:"Whose side am I on?
14204He whispered:"What were you thinking of me-- good or bad?"
14204Her face transfigured, radiant she exclaimed breathlessly:"What, Mr. Ryder, you mean that you are going to help my father?"
14204Her thoughts travelling faster than the ship, Shirley suddenly asked:"Do you really think Mr. Ryder will use his influence to help my father?"
14204His business methods I consider disgraceful-- you understand that, do n''t you, Shirley?"
14204How can my love of power do you an injustice?"
14204How can you expect to reach Ryder?
14204How could I think anything bad of you?"
14204How could he fight them back, what could he do to protect himself?
14204How could she become the daughter- in- law of the man who had ruined her own father?
14204How dare they make him out such a monster?
14204How did you come to call on father?"
14204How did you do it?
14204How did you guess?"
14204How do you do, Senator?"
14204How is Paris?"
14204How is it that our road can not reach Judge Rossmore and make him presents?"
14204How is the Rossmore case progressing?"
14204How long would the nation tolerate being thus ruthlessly trodden under the unclean heels of an insolent oligarchy?
14204How many literary reputations to- day conceal an aching heart and find it difficult to make both ends meet?
14204How many millions could one man make by honest methods?
14204How many of them would bear the searchlight of investigation?
14204How''s father?"
14204I mean the one you object to?"
14204I suppose you''ve heard about her father?"
14204I thought we had agreed not to discuss Judge Rossmore any further?"
14204I want to ask you, Miss Green, where you got the character of your central figure-- the Octopus, as you call him-- John Broderick?"
14204I--""Do you think this man deserves to be punished?"
14204If I am clever enough to accumulate millions who can stop me?"
14204If it was well paid, why should she not accept?
14204In a coaxing tone he said:"Come, where did you get those details?
14204In a voice that was unnaturally calm, he asked:"Why do n''t you produce them before the Senate?"
14204In other words, was his life a mistake?
14204Is it fair to my church, is it fair to my flock?
14204Is it not indeed fortunate that every nation finds itself superior to its neighbour?
14204Is it not so, Jefferson?"
14204Is it not true that we have been singularly free from litigation until recently, and that most of the decisions were favourable to the road?
14204Is it, therefore, not possible to take life easily and still achieve?
14204Is n''t it still more absurd that we should be helpless and dejected and unhappy because we are on Long Island instead of Madison Avenue?
14204Is n''t that better than a literary reputation?"
14204Is n''t the sting of impotent failure enough to meet without striving against a hopeless love?"
14204Is that not an achievement to relate to future generations?"
14204Is this any of your doing?"
14204It only increases my determination to see her and her--"Suddenly changing the topic he asked:"When do you leave us?"
14204It was on his mind constantly._""Who told you that?"
14204It''s a jolly well written book and raps you American millionaires jolly well-- what?"
14204Jefferson set his jaw fast and the familiar Ryder gleam came into his eyes as he responded:"Why not?
14204Judge Stott?
14204Kate would make him an excellent wife, while what do we know about the other woman?
14204May I?"
14204Must I be punished because you have failed?
14204My son wants to see me?
14204Next?"
14204Now she had them, she must not let them go again; yet how could she keep them unobserved?
14204Now what about that Rossmore girl?
14204Of course, why did he not think of it before?
14204Oh, Massapequa is a lovely spot, is n''t it?
14204Oh, father, how could you have done that?
14204Oh, why had he not kept the secretary''s letter?
14204Opening quote inserted:"Tell me, what do the papers say?"
14204Putting her broom aside and placing her arms akimbo she exclaimed in an injured tone:"And it''s a dayther you''ve got now?
14204Ryder ignored the insinuation and proceeded:"What of our boasted free institutions if a man is to be restricted in what he may and may not do?
14204Ryder took up the receiver and spoke to the butler downstairs:"Who''s that?
14204Ryder, who had seen nothing of this by- play, said with a sneer:"Surely you did n''t come here to- night to tell me this?"
14204Ryder?"
14204Ryder?"
14204See?"
14204Sergeant Ellison?
14204Shall I make your god my god?
14204She had a sacred duty to perform, it was true; but would it be less well done because she declined to stifle the natural leanings of her womanhood?
14204Shirley''s pulse throbbed faster, but she tried hard to appear unconcerned as she answered:"Oh, my book-- have you read it?"
14204Single quote moved:"You sent him a copy of''The American Octopus''?"
14204So he rushes from the cradle to the grave, and what''s the good, since he must one day die like all the rest?
14204So it''s her you want to go to, eh?
14204So, in better French than was at Jefferson''s command, she exclaimed:"Ten francs?
14204Suddenly Stott, who was perusing an evening paper, asked:"By the way, where''s your daughter?
14204Suddenly he asked her:"Have you heard from home recently?"
14204Suppose he knew her by sight and roughly accused her of obtaining access to his house under false pretences and then had her ejected by the servants?
14204Tell me, do you think he deserves such a fate?"
14204Tell me,"he added, appealing to her,"why ca n''t I rule my own household, why ca n''t I govern my own child?"
14204That Miss Rossmore was there, was she not?"
14204That''s what you want to avoid, is n''t it?"
14204The financier smiled grimly as he answered:"Your family in general-- me in particular, eh?
14204The financier swung half- round in his chair, the smile of greeting faded out of his face, and his voice was hard as he replied coldly:"Again?
14204The great financier was certainly able to do anything he chose, and had not his son Jefferson promised to win him over to their cause?
14204The man took the letters and disappeared, while Jefferson, impatient, repeated his question:"My doing?"
14204The press--"Mr. Grimsby''s red face grew more apoplectic as he blurted out:"Public opinion and the press be d----d. Who cares for public opinion?
14204The rumours were true, then?
14204Then addressing Shirley direct he said:"And you, fraulein, I hope you wo n''t be glad the voyage is over?"
14204Then he stopped as if he had changed his mind and turning towards his son he demanded:"Do you mean to say that she has done with you?"
14204Then interrupting himself he said amiably:"Wo n''t you do me the honour to meet my family?"
14204Then quickly she asked:"But what does it matter?
14204Then seriously, she added:"Jeff, why should we act like children?
14204Then she added quickly:"I wonder if your father has seen it?"
14204Then she added:"He''s the father of the girl you do n''t like, is n''t he?"
14204Then turning again to his secretary he asked:"Well, Bagley, what is it?"
14204Then turning on Mrs. Rossmore so suddenly that the poor woman nearly jumped out of her chair he asked:"Do you like strawberries?"
14204Then why raise this barrier between us?"
14204Then, abruptly, she asked:"Do your parents live in New York?"
14204Then, who could tell?
14204There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that says we ca n''t have a daughter without consulting our help, is there?"
14204There was only one way out-- would Stott go?
14204These reflections were suddenly interrupted by the voice of Mrs. Blake calling out:"Shirley, where have you been?
14204This time there''s a woman in the case-- and I need your woman''s wit--""How can I help you?"
14204Turning again to his son, he went on:"Do you see this book?
14204Turning to his sister, who was sitting in her corner like a petrified mummy, he added:"Jane, do you hear?
14204Was he himself to blame?
14204Was he not familiar with every possible phase of the game?
14204Was he willing?
14204Was he?
14204Was it possible that the dreaded Colossus had capitulated and that she had saved her father?
14204Was it possible?
14204Was it possible?
14204Was life worth living without money?
14204Was not this a prize any man might well set himself out to win?
14204Was she serious or merely jesting?
14204Was that not just what she had to offer?
14204Was this love?
14204We have deceived your father, but he will forgive that, wo n''t you?"
14204We intended to run away, did n''t we Fitz?"
14204We never knew how much till to- day, did we?
14204We shall be able to live for ourselves now, eh, father?"
14204We turn after a man in the street and ask, Who is he?
14204Well, do you know what I am going to do?"
14204Well, what are we going to do about this injunction?
14204Well, why not?
14204Were her father''s among them?
14204Were things so bad then?
14204What account will you be able to give?"
14204What are these rumours regarding Judge Rossmore?
14204What are they hiding?
14204What can I do now?
14204What could be done?
14204What could be the meaning of it?
14204What could the Colossus do now to save the situation?
14204What could the girl mean?
14204What could these preposterous and abominable charges mean?
14204What do I care for the world''s respect when my money makes the world my slave?
14204What do you say?"
14204What do you think of him as a type, how would you classify him?"
14204What had Judge Rossmore done, after all, to deserve the frightful punishment the amalgamated interests had caused him to suffer?
14204What have they done to you?"
14204What have you done?"
14204What is it to be?
14204What is it, boy?"
14204What is it?"
14204What is it?"
14204What is public opinion, anyhow?
14204What is that but socialism?"
14204What is your interest in this matter?"
14204What kind of a woman could she be, this Shirley Green, to dare cross swords with a man whose power was felt in two hemispheres?
14204What of the remedy?
14204What respect can I have for a people that cringe before money and let it rule them?
14204What right had this woman, a stranger both to Judge Rossmore and himself, to come here and catechise him?
14204What singular, mysterious power had this girl acquired over him?
14204What stages still to come, who knows?
14204What strong man had not?
14204What was the country coming to?
14204What was the sense of slaving all one''s life, piling up a mass of money one can not possibly spend, when there is only one life to live?
14204What was the world coming to when a son could talk to his father in this manner?
14204What was this lie they had invented to ruin her father?
14204What was to be done to save her father from this impeachment which she knew well would hurry him to his grave?
14204What would his daughter say-- his Shirley?
14204What would their future be, how could that proud, sensitive man her father bear this humiliation, this disgrace?
14204What''s that to do with me?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What''s that?
14204What, thought Jefferson, would be the outcome-- Socialism or Anarchy?
14204When is father going to find that fellow out?"
14204When they reached the street the senator inquired in a low tone:"Do you think they really believed Rossmore was influenced in his decision?"
14204Where had she gone, what was this mysterious work of which she had spoken?
14204Where have you children been all afternoon?"
14204Where is Jefferson?"
14204Where is he?"
14204Where is she to- day?
14204Where will you be then?"
14204Where would it end?
14204Who are they?
14204Who else should it be?"
14204Who is this unknown friend?"
14204Who was this woman who knew him so well, who could read his inmost thoughts, who never made a mistake?
14204Who were these strangers that intruded on her privacy offering a consolation she did not want?
14204Why are you ashamed to let him see it?
14204Why had he not come?
14204Why had she attacked him so bitterly?
14204Why had she not told her father at once?
14204Why not ask your father?"
14204Why not now?
14204Why not?
14204Why should Manhattan Island be a happier spot than Long Island?
14204Why should he not be able to put a stop to these preposterous proceedings?
14204Why should he?
14204Why, after all, should she not know happiness like other women?
14204Why?
14204Will you please have a cab here in half an hour?"
14204Will you take it?"
14204Will you?"
14204With a slight tinge of sarcasm he asked:"Is there any man in our public life who is unapproachable from some direction or other?"
14204Would he come to Massapequa?
14204Would he go?
14204Would he miss them?
14204Would he take her?
14204Would his own father?
14204Would it be womanly or honourable on my part to encourage you, unless I felt I reciprocated your feelings?
14204Would n''t he do that much to help a friend?"
14204Would n''t you help him then?"
14204Would she undertake it?
14204Would you?"
14204Yes or No?"
14204Yet what could he do?
14204Yet why not?
14204Yet, she reflected quickly, how could she prevent it?
14204You are going to jilt the girl?"
14204You are going to welsh on your word?
14204You do n''t expect a man to cut loose his own kite, do you?"
14204You know what''s going to happen to him, do n''t you?"
14204You must n''t mind what Mr. Ryder says?
14204You see yourself how impossible a marriage with Miss Rossmore would be, do n''t you?"
14204You understand?"
14204You?"
14204[ Photo, from the play, of Shirley discussing her book with Mr. Ryder]"How do you classify him?"
14204_ Pourquoi dix francs?_ I took your cab by the hour.
14204and above that three more--""No,"smiled the judge,"then comes the roof?"
14204burst in Jefferson,"why should she?
14204exclaimed Ryder, Sr."Marriage with someone else?"
14204exclaimed Ryder,"acknowledge to my son that I was in the wrong, that I''ve seen the error of my ways and wish to repent?
14204exclaimed Shirley, changing colour,"you believe that John Burkett Ryder is at the bottom of this infamous accusation against father?"
14204exclaimed her husband,"you have consulted Miss Green on the subject?"
14204he said,"you deliberately sacrificed my interests to save this woman''s father-- you hear him, Miss Green?
14204how are you?"
14204she said, appealing to Ryder,"and you will go to Washington, you will save my father''s honour, his life, you will--?"
5119A good or a bad omen?
5119A lady friend of mine, sir?
5119A man at twenty- eight? 5119 About to be?"
5119Achetez des fleurs, monsieur, pour la jolie dame?
5119After all,she added in an effort to appear cheerful,"what matter where we live so long as we have each other?"
5119Ah, that''s just it-- how?
5119Ah, your daughter-- you have a daughter?
5119Am I as bad as that?
5119An injustice?
5119And marry her?
5119And so he must be sacrificed?
5119And what do you think was the reason for preserving the anonymity?
5119And you, father-- do you believe Ryder did this?
5119Another friend like that of yesterday?
5119Any relation to J.B.?
5119Anything against her character?
5119Are n''t you proud of me, dad?
5119Are the Republican Committee still waiting?
5119Because?
5119Blame you? 5119 But because a woman has a good character, that does n''t necessarily make her a desirable match, does it?"
5119But can such things be in a civilized community?
5119But if-- he loves Judge Rossmore''s daughter?
5119But what are you going to do?
5119But what can you do?
5119But why should you punish me because my father fails to regard the matter as we do?
5119But,said Shirley puzzled,"I shall have to tell him that you--""What?"
5119By the way, Bagley,asked Jefferson,"when do you expect father to return?
5119Can I do anything for you, Miss?
5119Can not he be exposed, wo n''t the press take the matter up, can not we show conspiracy?
5119Combien?
5119Could n''t you compel him to return them?
5119Criminal?
5119Did n''t you ask me to see you here?
5119Did they tell you who I am-- the daughter of Judge Rossmore?
5119Did you ask for me, sir? 5119 Did you have a good time?"
5119Did you tell Shirley?
5119Did you want to see me, father?
5119Do n''t you agree with me?
5119Do n''t you think your daughter should be informed of what has happened?
5119Do n''t you want to walk a little?
5119Do they?
5119Do you expect me to sit and listen patiently to your wild theories of social reform? 5119 Do you know what she has done?"
5119Do you mean to say that if you had positive proof?
5119Do you really believe this, that John Ryder deliberately concocted the bribery charge with the sole purpose of ruining my father?
5119Do you still intend going away?
5119Do you think I''d marry a man whose father is as deep a discredit to the human race as your father is? 5119 Does she mean it?"
5119Does your son still love this girl? 5119 Doing?"
5119Elope with the secretary?
5119Finally?
5119Five thousand dollars?
5119From Judge Rossmore, were they not?
5119From whom did you receive these letters?
5119Gone away-- where?
5119Has Sergeant Ellison come?
5119Has any woman sifted it over?
5119Have n''t you a word of shame for this disgrace you have brought upon me?
5119Have you absolute proof in that drawer?
5119Have you anything to add?
5119Have you ever seen these letters before?
5119Have you found the author of''The American Octopus''?
5119Have you stopped to think whether it would be fair to me?
5119Have you?
5119Hello, Jorkins, are you there? 5119 Hello, Shirley,"he cried gaily;"who would have expected to find you rusticating on a bench here?
5119How are you going to tell him?
5119How are you, Mr. Grimsby? 5119 How dare you address me in this manner when you know I and Mr. Ryder are engaged?"
5119How dare you presume to judge my actions or to criticise my methods?
5119How dare you treat my things in this manner?
5119How did she take it?
5119How did you know it was Judge Rossmore?
5119How did you make it?
5119How do you know?
5119How does he take it?
5119How is your father?
5119How? 5119 I could stay here forever, could n''t you?"
5119I mean, what can you show as your life work? 5119 I often--""If I let you?"
5119I suppose we can guess what the business is, eh?
5119I think it would postpone the era of the Brotherhood of man indefinitely, do n''t you?
5119I-- er-- we-- er-- my sister Jane and I called to--"Wo n''t you sit down?
5119If the history of every financial transaction were made known, how many of us would escape public disgrace? 5119 If you had absolute proof in that drawer, for instance?
5119In what category would I be placed?
5119Is father still reading this?
5119Is it a bargain?
5119Is it their own?
5119Is it true then that he is selfishness incarnate? 5119 Is it true?"
5119Is marriage so very commonplace?
5119Is my father in?
5119Is n''t it beautiful?
5119Is n''t it delightful here?
5119Is n''t it?
5119Is n''t that rather strong?
5119Is not the road rich enough to bear the loss?
5119Is that you, Bagley? 5119 Is there?"
5119It is n''t that Rossmore girl, is it?
5119It''s a cute little house, is n''t it?
5119It''s a point in her favor, is n''t it?
5119Jane, do you know you are uttering a blasphemy? 5119 Let me see,"stammered the secretary,"there is the White Star, the North German Lloyd, the Atlantic Transport--""Have you any preference?"
5119Make her my wife?
5119May I come in to say good- bye?
5119May I come in?
5119May I have a few minutes of your time, father?
5119Miss Shirley Rossmore?
5119My dear Miss Green,she gasped;"what''s this I hear-- going away suddenly without giving me warning?"
5119My dear boy, when did you arrive?
5119My dear child,he said,"what are you talking about?
5119Not even if I had the absolute proof in that drawer?
5119Now tell me,he said,"what does it all mean?
5119Of course, you''re not going to- night?
5119Oh no-- no but----"No engagement at eleven o''clock to- morrow morning?
5119Oh say-- this is hardly fair-- three against one-- really-- I''m awfully sorry, eh, what?
5119Oh,exclaimed, the financier,"then you think it is a mere nom de plume?"
5119Oh,laughed Jefferson,"he''s afraid some one will kidnap him?
5119Perhaps I had better go?
5119Please, miss, will you come down to lunch?
5119Prejudices against a thousand million dollars?
5119Prying, did you say?
5119Ready for work again, eh? 5119 Really?"
5119Returns to England?
5119Run away with her?
5119Say, Bagley,he cried,"what does this mean?
5119Say?
5119Shirley,he said,"do you remember that talk we had on the ship?
5119So bad that I contaminate even good money?
5119So his fate is decided even before he is tried?
5119So she has refused you again, eh?
5119So soon?
5119So that is the mysterious work you spoke of-- to get those letters?
5119So you are Shirley Green, eh?
5119So you think your life is a good example to follow?
5119So you thought my daughter looked pale and that a little excursion to Buffalo would be a good thing for her? 5119 So you''re not going away now?"
5119So,he said sternly,"this is your latest act of rebellion, is it?
5119Something of the sort-- how did you guess?
5119Something to compensate?
5119Suppose the injunction is sustained?
5119Suppose,she said,"we all wanted to follow it, suppose we all wanted to be the richest, the most powerful personage in the world?"
5119Surely you can guess when I say the most powerful man in the United States? 5119 Tell me,"he repeated,"what do the papers say about the book?"
5119That is right,he replied;"but which is likely to give you greater joy-- a literary success or a happy wifehood?
5119That means that Judge Rossmore will be removed?
5119The dying father, the sorrowing mother-- and the daughter, what is she supposed to be doing?
5119The law?
5119Then why did you remain here with me when the Senator went out with Mr. Ryder, senior?
5119Those letters my father speaks of-- they would be useful, would they not?
5119To meet me and my son?
5119To- morrow?
5119Upstairs-- three rooms, eh? 5119 We are very fortunate in having such pleasant weather, do n''t you think so, Madam?
5119Well, Bagley?
5119Well, Jefferson,he said kindly,"did you have a good time abroad?"
5119Well, Sergeant, what have you got to report?
5119Well, is that all?
5119Well, sergeant,said Mr. Ryder cordially,"what have you to tell me?
5119Well, what do you say?
5119Well, what have you been doing about the book?
5119Well, what of it?
5119Well-- what then?
5119Well?
5119What about these newspaper charges? 5119 What did you say?"
5119What do I care what the world says when I''m dead?
5119What do you mean, child? 5119 What do you mean, sir?"
5119What do you mean? 5119 What do you mean?"
5119What do you mean?
5119What do you mean?
5119What do you want me to call you?
5119What have I done?
5119What have they done to you?
5119What have you got there?
5119What is socialism?
5119What is the moral of your life?
5119What letters do you refer to?
5119What objection has your son to Miss Roberts?
5119What rabble?
5119What reasons?
5119What steamers leave to- morrow for England?
5119What will it give the public that it has not got already?
5119What will you do?
5119What''s brought you from Washington at a critical time like this? 5119 What''s that about mother dancing?"
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s the matter?
5119What''s the objection to the girl?
5119What?
5119When do they attend lectures?
5119When do they read?
5119When shall we be in, captain?
5119Where are the letters?
5119Where are you going?
5119Where is his daughter?
5119Where''s father?
5119Where''s your list?
5119Where,he asked,"Madison Avenue?"
5119Who are they?
5119Who else?
5119Who the devil is this Bagley?
5119Who told you that?
5119Who was here first?
5119Who''s there?
5119Who''s there?
5119Who,he added,"would have the courage to marry a girl whose father was publicly disgraced?"
5119Who?
5119Why ca n''t you govern yourself?
5119Why did you do this?
5119Why do n''t you shake hands with her?
5119Why do n''t you study women for a change?
5119Why do you ask? 5119 Why do you want to add to the girl''s misery?
5119Why not be accurate?
5119Why not call me Jefferson? 5119 Why not study theology and become a preacher?"
5119Why not? 5119 Why not?
5119Why not?
5119Why not?
5119Why not?
5119Why should I punish myself-- why should we punish those nearest and dearest?
5119Why so sober,demanded Ryder,"you''ve gained your point, your father is to be restored to you, you''ll marry the man you love?"
5119Why, Jeff, my boy, is that you? 5119 Why, Miss Rossmore, what are you doing out driving?"
5119Why, is he wild?
5119Why, is it you, Jeff? 5119 Why?"
5119Wie geht es, meine damen?
5119Will you trust me to go alone?
5119With my daughter?
5119Work?
5119Would you sacrifice my happiness and your own?
5119Yes, yes, Shir-- Miss Green, will you?
5119Yes,said Kate, taking a letter from her bosom,"I wanted to ask you what this means?"
5119Yet what good is your money to you?
5119You are going away?
5119You cabled for Shirley?
5119You cabled for Shirley?
5119You came to ask your father to help you?
5119You do n''t think my life would make good reading?
5119You expected to see Senator Roberts, did n''t you?
5119You going away-- where to?
5119You have work to do-- what work?
5119You may be right and yet--"Am I to help you or not?
5119You mean you think I want to listen to you?
5119You never proposed to run away with my daughter?
5119You sent for me, father?
5119You sent him a copy of''The American Octopus?''
5119You wish to see me, Madame?
5119You work, Shirley? 5119 You-- Miss Green?"
5119You? 5119 You?"
5119You?
5119You?
5119Your book--''The American Octopus,''is selling well?
5119Your enemies?
5119A man''s life at stake?
5119After a silence he said:"Do you know you say the strangest things?"
5119Ah, why had she spared him in her book?
5119Ah, would n''t it be sublime selfishness?"
5119Am I right?"
5119And even if he did not how could she possibly find those letters with him watching her, and all in the brief time of a conventional afternoon call?
5119And what of the future?
5119And what, asks the foreigner, has the American hustler accomplished that his slower- going Continental brother has not done as well?
5119And you-- you have the brazen effrontery to ask me to plead for your father?
5119Are you afraid I shall love you?
5119Are you afraid he will love you?
5119Are you prepared to reconstruct human nature?"
5119Are you willing to sacrifice your son''s future to a mere boyish whim?"
5119Are you--?"
5119Arranging the pillow under her head, he asked:"Is that comfortable?"
5119As a gentle hint he said softly:"Did I interrupt you, Madam?"
5119As to the newspapers-- when did you ever hear of them championing a man when he''s down?"
5119Back from Europe, Jefferson?
5119Besides, was not Mr. Ryder returning home on the same ship?
5119Besides,"she added,"what right have I to object?"
5119But Ryder, Sr., continued:"Do I care?
5119But before he could open his mouth Mr. Ryder said:"Bagley, when did you see my son, Jefferson, last?"
5119But by what strange fatality, he thought to himself, had his daughter in this book of hers assailed the very man who had encompassed his own ruin?
5119But did she care for him?
5119But evidently she thought better of it, for, taking a cue from Mrs. Rossmore, she asked in the sarcastic manner of her mistress:"Four is it now, M''m?
5119But how about this?"
5119But how could he employ her?
5119But how could he tell Shirley?
5119But how could they be got at?
5119But how on earth did Judge Rossmore''s daughter come to be travelling in the company of John Burkett Ryder''s son?
5119But is the judiciary hostile?
5119But it was smart of Jefferson to have sent Ryder, Sr., the book, so she smiled graciously on his son as she asked:"How do you know he got it?
5119But she could never remain angry long, and when they said good- night she whispered demurely:"Are you cross with me, Jeff?"
5119But what was being done?
5119But where''s the daughter now?"
5119But, thought Jefferson, why should he spoil a good thing?
5119By what mysterious agency had this man penetrated his own most intimate thoughts?
5119CHAPTER IV"Tell me, what do the papers say?"
5119Ca n''t you see,"he asked,"what a false position it places me in?
5119Can you guess what it was?"
5119Can you wait till I''m through?
5119Come, what do you say?"
5119Come, what is it?"
5119Come, will you join forces with me?"
5119Could Jefferson''s father have done them such a wrong as this?
5119Could he be dreaming?
5119Could he do so again?
5119Could he dream that the Great Northwestern Mining Company and the company to which he had entrusted his few thousands were one and the same?
5119Could it be that the proceedings in the Senate were ended and the result known?
5119Could one have fine houses to live in, or all sorts of modern conveniences to add to one''s comfort, without money?
5119Could she believe her ears?
5119Could she conceal them?
5119Could the book- lover buy books, the art- lover purchase pictures?
5119Could the human mind grasp the possibilities of such a colossal fortune?
5119Could this, she thought, explain Jefferson''s strange behaviour?
5119Determined, eh?
5119Did Judge Rossmore take a bribe from the Great Northwestern or did n''t he?
5119Did she love him?
5119Did you ever read the fable of the Lion and the Mouse?
5119Did you go down to Massapequa?"
5119Do n''t you think she has suffered enough?"
5119Do you know a little place on Long Island called Massapequa?"
5119Do you know that I practically control the Congress of the United States and that no legislative measure becomes law unless it has my approval?"
5119Do you know that a man does n''t get his horse sense till he''s forty?"
5119Do you know who the hero is?"
5119Do you know you''re the first woman I ever took into my confidence-- I mean at sight?"
5119Do you realize that my wealth is so vast that I scarcely know myself what I am worth?
5119Do you suppose for one instant that I would condescend to trouble myself with your affairs?"
5119Do you think I''m fool enough to suppose I can buy my way?
5119Does n''t that tell you what the world thinks of your methods?"
5119Does she know of this radical change in your affairs?"
5119Father is going to clear his name of this preposterous charge and we''re going to help him, are n''t we, mother?
5119Finally losing patience she asked him bluntly:"Jefferson, what''s the matter with you to- night?
5119Five millions or competition?
5119For a moment her heart stood still-- suppose the shock of this shameful accusation had killed him?
5119For what?"
5119General Dodge?
5119Going away?
5119Had Ryder any twinges of conscience?
5119Had Ryder really got some plan up his sleeve after all?
5119Had he come, after all?
5119Had he not made a cool twenty millions by the deal?
5119Had his insensate craving for gold and power led him to neglect those other things in life which contribute more truly to man''s happiness?
5119Had my son been seen there?"
5119Had the forces of right and justice prevailed, after all?
5119Has not a President of the United States declared that the State must eventually curb the great fortunes?
5119Has not the flag of socialism waved recently from the White House?
5119Have you ever stopped to think of that?"
5119He must be saved in the Senate, but how-- how?
5119He must do something to prevent it; the marriage must not take place, but what could he do?
5119He repeated:"Did n''t you hear me?
5119He restrained his impatience with difficulty as he replied:"Whose side am I on?
5119He whispered:"What were you thinking of me-- good or bad?"
5119Her face transfigured, radiant she exclaimed breathlessly:"What, Mr. Ryder, you mean that you are going to help my father?"
5119Her thoughts travelling faster than the ship, Shirley suddenly asked:"Do you really think Mr. Ryder will use his influence to help my father?"
5119His business methods I consider disgraceful-- you understand that, do n''t you, Shirley?"
5119How can my love of power do you an injustice?"
5119How can you expect to reach Ryder?
5119How could I think anything bad of you?"
5119How could he fight them back, what could he do to protect himself?
5119How could she become the daughter- in- law of the man who had ruined her own father?
5119How dare they make him out such a monster?
5119How did you come to call on father?"
5119How did you do it?
5119How did you guess?"
5119How do you do, Senator?"
5119How is Paris?"
5119How is it that our road can not reach Judge Rossmore and make him presents?"
5119How is the Rossmore case progressing?"
5119How long would the nation tolerate being thus ruthlessly trodden under the unclean heels of an insolent oligarchy?
5119How many literary reputations to- day conceal an aching heart and find it difficult to make both ends meet?
5119How many millions could one man make by honest methods?
5119How many of them would bear the search- light of investigation?
5119How''s father?"
5119I mean the one you abject to?"
5119I suppose you''ve heard about her father?"
5119I thought we had agreed not to discuss Judge Rossmore any further?"
5119I want to ask you, Miss Green, where you got the character of your central figure-- the Octopus, as you call him-- John Broderick?"
5119I--""Do you think this man deserves to be punished?"
5119If I am clever enough to accumulate millions who can stop me?"
5119If it was well paid, why should she not accept?
5119In a coaxing tone he said:"Come, where did you get those details?
5119In a voice that was unnaturally calm, he asked:"Why do n''t you produce them before the Senate?"
5119In other words, was his life a mistake?
5119Is it fair to my church, is it fair to my flock?
5119Is it not indeed fortunate that every nation finds itself superior to its neighbour?
5119Is it not so, Jefferson?"
5119Is it not true that we have been singularly free from litigation until recently, and that most of the decisions were favourable to the road?
5119Is it, therefore, not possible to take life easily and still achieve?
5119Is n''t it still more absurd that we should be helpless and dejected and unhappy because we are on Long Island instead of Madison Avenue?
5119Is n''t that better than a literary reputation?"
5119Is n''t the sting of impotent failure enough to meet without striving against a hopeless love?"
5119Is that not an achievement to relate to future generations?"
5119Is this any of your doing?"
5119It only increases my determination to see her and her--"Suddenly changing the topic he asked:"When do you leave us?"
5119It''s a jolly well written book and raps you American millionaires jolly well-- what?"
5119Jefferson set his jaw fast and the familiar Ryder gleam came into his eyes as he responded:"Why not?
5119Judge Stott?
5119Kate would make him an excellent wife, while what do we know about the other woman?
5119Laying the book down and turning sharply on Shirley, he asked her bluntly:"Do you mean to say that I could n''t stop to- morrow if I wanted to?"
5119May I?"
5119Must I be punished because you have failed?
5119My son wants to see me?
5119Next?"
5119Now she had them, she must not let them go again; yet how could she keep them unobserved?
5119Now what about that Rossmore girl?
5119Of course, why did he not think of it before?
5119Oh, Massapequa is a lovely spot, is n''t it?
5119Oh, father, how could you have done that?
5119Oh, why had he not kept the secretary''s letter?
5119Pourquoi dix francs?
5119Putting her broom aside and placing her arms akimbo she exclaimed in an injured tone:"And it''s a dayther you''ve got now?
5119Ryder ignored the insinuation and proceeded:"What of our boasted free institutions if a man is to be restricted in what he may and may not do?
5119Ryder leaned eagerly forward as he asked her searchingly:"Now who told you that I had my arm tattooed when I was a boy?"
5119Ryder took up the receiver and spoke to the butler downstairs:"Who''s that?
5119Ryder, who had seen nothing of this by- play, said with a sneer:"Surely you did n''t come here to- night to tell me this?"
5119Ryder?"
5119Ryder?"
5119See?"
5119Sergeant Ellison?
5119Shall I make your god my god?
5119She had a sacred duty to perform, it was true; but would it be less well done because she declined to stifle the natural leanings of her womanhood?
5119Shirley''s pulse throbbed faster, but she tried hard to appear unconcerned as she answered:"Oh, my book-- have you read it?"
5119So he rushes from the cradle to the grave, and what''s the good, since he must one day die like all the rest?
5119So it''s her you want to go to, eh?
5119So, in better French than was at Jefferson''s command, she exclaimed:"Ten francs?
5119Suddenly Stott, who was perusing an evening paper, asked:"By the way, where''s your daughter?
5119Suddenly he asked her:"Have you heard from home recently?"
5119Suppose he knew her by sight and roughly accused her of obtaining access to his house under false pretences and then had her ejected by the servants?
5119Tell me, do you think he deserves such a fate?"
5119Tell me,"he added, appealing to her,"why ca n''t I rule my own household, why ca n''t I govern my own child?"
5119That Miss Rossmore was there, was she not?"
5119That''s what you want to avoid, is n''t it?"
5119The financier smiled grimly as he answered:"Your family in general-- me in particular, eh?
5119The financier swung half- round in his chair, the smile of greeting faded out of his face, and his voice was hard as he replied coldly:"Again?
5119The great financier was certainly able to do anything he chose, and had not his son Jefferson promised to win him over to their cause?
5119The man took the letters and disappeared, while Jefferson, impatient, repeated his question:"My doing?"
5119The press--"Mr. Grimsby''s red face grew more apoplectic as he blurted out:"Public opinion and the press be d--- d. Who cares for public opinion?
5119The rumours were true, then?
5119Then addressing Shirley direct he said:"And you, fraulein, I hope you wo n''t be glad the voyage is over?"
5119Then he stopped as if he had changed his mind and turning towards his son he demanded:"Do you mean to say that she has done with you?"
5119Then interrupting himself he said amiably:"Wo n''t you do me the honour to meet my family?"
5119Then quickly she asked:"But what does it matter?
5119Then seriously, she added:"Jeff, why should we act like children?
5119Then she added quickly:"I wonder if your father has seen it?"
5119Then she added:"He''s the father of the girl you do n''t like, is n''t he?"
5119Then turning again to his secretary he asked:"Well, Bagley, what is it?"
5119Then turning on Mrs. Rossmore so suddenly that the poor woman nearly jumped out of her chair he asked:"Do you like strawberries?"
5119Then why raise this barrier between us?"
5119Then, abruptly, she asked:"Do your parents live in New York?"
5119Then, who could tell?
5119There is nothing in the Constitution of the United States that says we ca n''t have a daughter without consulting our help, is there?"
5119There was only one way out-- would Stott go?
5119These reflections were suddenly interrupted by the voice of Mrs. Blake calling out:"Shirley, where have you been?
5119This time there''s a woman in the case-- and I need your woman''s wit--""How can I help you?"
5119Turning again to his son, he went on:"Do you see this book?
5119Turning to his sister, who was sitting in her corner like a petrified mummy, he added:"Jane, do you hear?
5119Was he himself to blame?
5119Was he not familiar with every possible phase of the game?
5119Was he willing?
5119Was he?
5119Was it possible that the dreaded Colossus had capitulated and that she had saved her father?
5119Was it possible?
5119Was it possible?
5119Was life worth living without money?
5119Was not this a prize any man might well set himself out to win?
5119Was she serious or merely jesting?
5119Was that not just what she had to offer?
5119Was this love?
5119We have deceived your father, but he will forgive that, wo n''t you?"
5119We intended to run away, did n''t we Fitz?"
5119We never knew how much till to- day, did we?
5119We shall be able to live for ourselves now, eh, father?"
5119We turn after a man in the street and ask, Who is he?
5119Well, do you know what I am going to do?"
5119Well, what are we going to do about this injunction?
5119Well, why not?
5119Were her father''s among them?
5119Were things so bad then?
5119What account will you be able to give?"
5119What are these rumours regarding Judge Rossmore?
5119What are they hiding?
5119What can I do now?
5119What could be done?
5119What could be the meaning of it?
5119What could the Colossus do now to save the situation?
5119What could the girl mean?
5119What could these preposterous and abominable charges mean?
5119What do I care for the world''s respect when my money makes the world my slave?
5119What do you say?"
5119What do you think of him as a type, how would you classify him?"
5119What had Judge Rossmore done, after all, to deserve the frightful punishment the amalgamated interests had caused him to suffer?
5119What have you done?"
5119What is it to be?
5119What is it, boy?"
5119What is it?"
5119What is it?"
5119What is public opinion, anyhow?
5119What is that but socialism?"
5119What is your interest in this matter?"
5119What kind of a woman could she be, this Shirley Green, to dare cross swords with a man whose power was felt in two hemispheres?
5119What of the remedy?
5119What respect can I have for a people that cringe before money and let it rule them?
5119What right had this woman, a stranger both to Judge Rossmore and himself, to come here and catechise him?
5119What singular, mysterious power had this girl acquired over him?
5119What stages still to come, who knows?
5119What strong man had not?
5119What was the country coming to?
5119What was the sense of slaving all one''s life, piling up a mass of money one can not possibly spend, when there is only one life to live?
5119What was the world coming to when a son could talk to his father in this manner?
5119What was this lie they had invented to ruin her father?
5119What was to be done to save her father from this impeachment which she knew well would hurry him to his grave?
5119What would his daughter say-- his Shirley?
5119What would their future be, how could that proud, sensitive man her father bear this humiliation, this disgrace?
5119What''s that to do with me?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What''s that?
5119What, thought Jefferson, would be the outcome-- Socialism or Anarchy?
5119When is father going to find that fellow out?"
5119When they reached the street the senator inquired in a low tone:"Do you think they really believed Rossmore was influenced in his decision?"
5119Where had she gone, what was this mysterious work of which she had spoken?
5119Where have you children been all afternoon?"
5119Where is Jefferson?"
5119Where is he?"
5119Where is she to- day?
5119Where will you be then?"
5119Where would it end?
5119Who are they?
5119Who else should it be?"
5119Who is this unknown friend?"
5119Who was this woman who knew him so well, who could read his inmost thoughts, who never made a mistake?
5119Who were these strangers that intruded on her privacy offering a consolation she did not want?
5119Why are you ashamed to let him see it?
5119Why had he not come?
5119Why had she attacked him so bitterly?
5119Why had she not told her father at once?
5119Why not ask your father?"
5119Why not now?
5119Why not?
5119Why should Manhattan Island be a happier spot than Long Island?
5119Why should he not be able to put a stop to these preposterous proceedings?
5119Why should he?
5119Why, after all, should she not know happiness like other women?
5119Why?
5119Will you please have a cab here in half an hour?"
5119Will you take it?"
5119Will you?"
5119With a slight tinge of sarcasm he asked:"Is there any man in our public life who is unapproachable from some direction or other?"
5119Would he come to Massapequa?
5119Would he go?
5119Would he miss them?
5119Would he take her?
5119Would his own father?
5119Would it be womanly or honourable on my part to encourage you, unless I felt I reciprocated your feelings?
5119Would n''t he do that much to help a friend?"
5119Would n''t you help him then?"
5119Would she undertake it?
5119Would you?"
5119Yes or No?"
5119Yet what could he do?
5119Yet why not?
5119Yet, she reflected quickly, how could she prevent it?
5119You are going to jilt the girl?"
5119You are going to welsh on your word?
5119You do n''t expect a man to cut loose his own kite, do you?"
5119You know what''s going to happen to him, do n''t you?"
5119You must n''t mind what Mr. Ryder says?
5119You see yourself how impossible a marriage with Miss Rossmore would be, do n''t you?"
5119You understand?"
5119You?"
5119and above that three more--""No,"smiled the judge,"then comes the roof?"
5119asked the senator,"that you were about to marry this man secretly?"
5119burst in Jefferson,"why should she?
5119exclaimed Ryder, Sr."Marriage with someone else?"
5119exclaimed Ryder,"acknowledge to my son that I was in the wrong, that I''ve seen the error of my ways and wish to repent?
5119exclaimed Shirley, changing colour,"you believe that John Burkett Ryder is at the bottom of this infamous accusation against father?"
5119exclaimed her husband,"you have consulted Miss Green on the subject?"
5119he said,"you deliberately sacrificed my interests to save this woman''s father-- you hear him, Miss Green?
5119how are you?"
5119she said, appealing to Ryder,"and you will go to Washington, you will save my father''s honour, his life, you will--?"
40835''E would''na see me-- eh?
40835A fact which is-- well-- rather curious-- shall we designate it?
40835A journey? 40835 A moment ago you were about to tell me something, Marion,"he said, fixing his gaze upon hers;"what is it?"
40835A person I know?
40835A witness-- of what?
40835About the projected strike-- eh? 40835 Absent a month?"
40835Afraid of what?
40835After what?
40835All bows and smiles, like the average Frenchman-- eh? 40835 An old friend of yours, I suppose?"
40835An''he''s seen you-- eh?
40835An''starve the poor bairns-- eh?
40835An''what''s that?
40835And Maud never met the old fellow?
40835And Maud-- what of her?
40835And Max-- I mean Mr Barclay-- will make a large sum?
40835And after that?
40835And are they in the habit of discharging assistants in this manner-- throwing them out of a home and out of employment at a moment''s notice? 40835 And because it concerns her personally, you refuse to divulge it?"
40835And did he see you?
40835And for that reason, I suppose, is living incognito?
40835And go shares?
40835And hardly surprising, in view of past events, eh?
40835And has it not struck you then that he and the Doctor might be acquainted?
40835And has this serious allegation which Adams intends to bring any connection with the mystery concerning the mansion?
40835And have n''t you seen Maud since?
40835And have you discovered nothing regarding Petrovitch?
40835And he has not taken any steps in self- defence?
40835And he has promised you marriage? 40835 And he''s seen you-- eh?"
40835And how did you first know of Maud''s disappearance?
40835And how long can I have to decide?
40835And how much have we gained over the Pekin business, Ben?
40835And if I do this will you assist me to obtain knowledge of the reason why Marion Rolfe has been dismissed?
40835And if he does not? 40835 And if he is dead?"
40835And if it is more than twelve?
40835And if that is so?
40835And in what direction does it trend?
40835And lose the chance of a lifetime-- eh?
40835And may I not know his name?
40835And she accepted?
40835And she meets him after business hours?
40835And so you have a lover in secret-- eh?
40835And so you met her at dusk in the quiet streets about Nevern Square and the adjacent thoroughfares?
40835And the aristocratic- looking foreigner? 40835 And the lover?"
40835And the money which she returned was given her in order, to induce her to divulge?
40835And then he suddenly turned up again-- eh?
40835And then?
40835And they think me eccentric-- eh?
40835And to everybody except my sister, if she calls, you do n''t know where I''ve gone-- you understand?
40835And well?
40835And were both victims of the plot?
40835And what about the French people?
40835And what are they? 40835 And what are we to do?"
40835And what did he say?
40835And what did you reply?
40835And what do you know of him?
40835And what is it?
40835And what is that?
40835And what then, dearest?
40835And what then?
40835And what was that?
40835And what you told me in the City you are prepared to stand by?
40835And what''s your theory?
40835And where are those proofs now?
40835And where did you leave Maud?
40835And where is Charlie?
40835And where is the young lady?
40835And which we-- you and I, Max-- are going to assist-- eh?
40835And who is he, pray?
40835And who was he?
40835And who''s the man?
40835And why, pray, has your opinion changed?
40835And yet he is n''t a very old man, is he?
40835And yet, though you are friends no longer, you are in favour of your brother''s marriage with the lady? 40835 And you anticipate that what Maud told you had some connection with their sudden disappearance?"
40835And you are in search of her? 40835 And you can tell us nothing more?
40835And you declare yourself as ignorant as I am myself of their whereabouts?
40835And you do not know, then, if she has not met with foul play?
40835And you have no foundation of fact for it?
40835And you have not seen her?
40835And you know there has not been a tragedy?
40835And you probably know something of his affairs?
40835And you were there also, then?
40835And you will not seek to inquire the reason of a request I may make to you, even though it may sound an extraordinary and perhaps mysterious one?
40835And you will not tell me the name of Adams''s associate in the matter?
40835And you will reveal them to me?
40835And you wish me to tell him all this?
40835And you yourself?
40835And you''ll be left all alone?
40835And you''ve never seen him since?
40835And, further, that confirmation of the charge brought by Adam will be found beyond that locked door?
40835And, in return, how have I been served?
40835Are n''t you rather hard on my sex, Max?
40835Are you aware of having done anything to offend him?
40835Are you certain that he has become Adams''friend?
40835Are you quite certain of this?
40835Are you serious, Levi?
40835Are you sure? 40835 Ask yourself?"
40835At Aix- les- Bains,Statham exclaimed in surprise:"I thought Doctor Petrovitch lived in London?"
40835At risk of our lives-- eh?
40835Avoid me-- why?
40835Based upon what Maud told you-- eh?
40835Beside the lady to whom you are so devoted, eh?
40835Both men stand very high in the financial world, do they not?
40835But Adam-- do you happen to know him?
40835But Maud? 40835 But Miss Rolfe knows it, of course?"
40835But a moment ago you said you had a clue?
40835But are we not lovers, Marion?
40835But are you aware that this concession, if the Sultan really gives it, is of the greatest importance to the commercial development of the Near East? 40835 But can not we join forces in endeavouring to solve the problem?"
40835But can not you be more explicit?
40835But can you, without injury to yourself, tell me who is your associate in this business?
40835But did n''t they quarrel a short time ago?
40835But did you actually see him dead?
40835But have you offended the Doctor?
40835But he''s away in Servia, is he not? 40835 But how can Adams profit?
40835But how do you account for your vans-- two pantechnicons and a covered van-- being there?
40835But how?
40835But if the Doctor is really still alive, what have you to fear?
40835But is there no way of proving the truth?
40835But is your business of such a very private character?
40835But she was sent away?
40835But suppose the truth was really known!--suppose it were discovered? 40835 But tell me straight out-- what do you wish me to do?"
40835But tell me, Rolfe is an intimate friend of yours, is he not?
40835But the whole affair is so extraordinary?
40835But was it not through you that Marion, without previous experience or apprenticeship, was engaged there?
40835But we can get an option, I suppose?
40835But what form is this revenge of yours to take?
40835But when you parted from her that night, did you believe that you would not meet her again?
40835But where are they-- where can they be? 40835 But who is this man Leonard Lyle?"
40835But why are you so anxious, Max?
40835But why are you so inquisitive-- eh?
40835But why are you worried about Maud, old fellow?
40835But why does he want me to go post- haste out to Turkey?
40835But why does n''t the Doctor send me word of his own safety?
40835But why have you kept away from me till to- day?
40835But why is it hoped that he will prefer to take his life rather than face any exposure?
40835But why need I anticipate failure? 40835 But why?
40835But why?
40835But why?
40835But why?
40835But will not the reflection be seen by Levi from below?
40835But will you not ask him?
40835But you do n''t seem in the least alarmed about her disappearance?
40835But you do n''t think that the Doctor has been the victim of an assassin, do you?
40835But you have quarrelled with Maud?
40835But you have your ain circle of good friends here, I suppose?
40835But you''d have lost very heavily, would n''t you?
40835But you''ve just declared that a falsehood was permissible where a woman''s honour was concerned?
40835But, my dear fellow she loved you, did she not? 40835 But,"Rolfe argued,"for the sake of my sister''s good name you will surely do me this one small favour?"
40835But-- well, in the circumstances, do n''t you scent danger-- a very grave danger?
40835But--"But what?
40835But--"But what?
40835By what?
40835Ca n''t you get Marion to tell you?
40835Can I see him?
40835Can you furnish me with it?
40835Connected with Maud Petrovitch?
40835Could they not be purchased now? 40835 Crime-- what crime?"
40835Did Maud tell you anything about her future movements last night-- or mention her father''s intentions?
40835Did he speak to ye?
40835Did he tell you to- day where he was going?
40835Did n''t Maud ever tell you?
40835Did n''t she tall you her name?
40835Did n''t the washer take note of the number of the cab?
40835Did she apprehend something?
40835Did she ever tell you that the Doctor had suddenly entertained a dislike of you?
40835Did she say nothing which would throw any light upon their sadden disappearance?
40835Did what she tell you in any way concern the Doctor?
40835Did you ever see Petkoff, for instance?
40835Did you see any servant when you were there this evening?
40835Did you see anyone, Levi?
40835Did you see our vans there yourself?
40835Did? 40835 Disengaged?"
40835Do I really understand you that Mr Statham invited you to his house?
40835Do n''t I tell you he shall not die?
40835Do n''t ask me why? 40835 Do n''t you like Rolfe-- or what?"
40835Do you know Adam personally?
40835Do you mean Leonard Lyle? 40835 Do you object to Rolfe paying his attentions to your daughter?"
40835Do you suspect some-- some tragedy, then?
40835Do you think that thieves did the work?
40835Do? 40835 Does Charlie know?
40835Does he come often?
40835Does he know Statham?
40835Does he really mean mischief?
40835Does she know that you are aware of the meetings?
40835Eh? 40835 Eh?
40835Engineer? 40835 Evasive?"
40835Even at the expense of your friend''s happiness?
40835Even to you-- his confidential secretary?
40835For how long?
40835For the purposes of blackmail-- eh?
40835For what reason?
40835For what?
40835For what?
40835Foul play?
40835Had you any suspicion that father and daughter intended to suddenly disappear?
40835Has Charlie seen Maud of late?
40835Has she sent you no secret message of her safety?
40835Have I not already told you of the promise I gave her? 40835 Have I not already told you?
40835Have I not even to- night been your friend?
40835Have I not warned you against the man who is Max Barclay''s secret enemy-- and yours-- the man Jean Adam?
40835Have I your permission to glance at them?
40835Have a cigarette?
40835Have you been over it? 40835 Have you been to his house in Park Lane lately?"
40835Have you had dealings with him?
40835Have you put any money into the scheme?
40835Have you seen Mr Barclay to- day?
40835Have you told the police that?
40835Have you written to Maud?
40835He had no suspicion of whom you really are?
40835He talks of me sometimes, I suppose?
40835He''s still outside, I suppose?
40835His enemies in the Skuptchina, you mean?
40835How can I be the enemy of Marion''s brother? 40835 How can I be witness against you if you are innocent of any connection with the affair?"
40835How can I tell?
40835How can her love for me affect her father''s political opponents in Servia?
40835How can you prevent him escaping you by suicide?
40835How did we first hear of the business?
40835How do you know that?
40835How is it you know so much of Servia?
40835How much? 40835 How well do you know him?"
40835How? 40835 How?
40835How? 40835 How?
40835How?
40835How?
40835How?
40835I do n''t deny it?
40835I do-- but I--"But what?
40835I fear there''s been foul play?
40835I hope not, yet--"Why do you hesitate, Marion, to tell me all you know?
40835I hope the car I sent came for you as arranged?
40835I know, but--"But what?
40835I love you; surely you believe that?
40835I mean that you received letters from him?
40835I thought you wished to warn Mr Statham?
40835I wonder if I could possibly get at the truth through Marion?
40835I wonder if I shall ever see it again? 40835 I wonder if it''s been done by professional removers, or by amateurs?"
40835I wonder if the Doctor and his daughter have returned to their own country?
40835I wonder what the old blackguard has said?
40835I wonder,he said aloud, at last,"I wonder if Max ever dreams the extraordinary truth?
40835In London?
40835In what way?
40835Intentions of what?
40835Is Mr Statham''s secretary an unimportant man?
40835Is he alive? 40835 Is he really?"
40835Is he such a bad man, then?
40835Is it no matter that I see you, Charlie? 40835 Is it not rather foolish in your own interests?
40835Is it safe yet to show a light?
40835Is it somebody who has disappeared?
40835Is n''t he all that he pretends to be?
40835Is n''t this a rather amusing meeting?
40835Is that you, Merrick?
40835Is that your opinion?
40835Is there any real dissatisfaction in the works?
40835Is there no way out of this?
40835It almost looks as though it were the work of thieves?
40835It is not often you speak the truth, Mr Statham, is it?
40835It was whispered, Rolfe, that you were in love with the pretty Maud-- eh?
40835It''s curious, to say the least, is n''t it?
40835Jean Adam-- a friend of Max Barclay?
40835Killed?
40835Left-- left Cunnington''s?
40835Leonard Lyle-- a hunchback?
40835Let me see, the concession is somewhere in the Balkans, is n''t it?
40835Levi,exclaimed Statham after a few moments of silence,"is it not absurd for us to chatter here, in the darkness?
40835Lives there in preference to an hotel because he can go in and out shabby and down- at- heel without attracting comment-- eh?
40835Lorena-- why, it must have been Lorena Lyle-- old Lyle''s daughter?
40835Lost? 40835 Lyle here-- in London?"
40835Maud Petrovitch has never written to you?
40835My dear Marion, of what are you apprehensive?
40835My guilt?
40835No; but I may surely know the reason she has left your service?
40835No?
40835Nor about any new patent?
40835Of a plot against him?
40835Of business? 40835 Of the thousand employees I possess, is there a man among them honest?
40835Of what crime am I guilty?
40835Of what?
40835Of what?
40835Of what?
40835Of what?
40835Oh, so he has approached you, also, has he? 40835 Oh, what''s its nature?"
40835On your first visit, then, the safe was hidden?
40835Only surmise?
40835Or you would not have come, eh?
40835Parker, has Mr Statham been on the''phone this morning?
40835Perhaps he thinks you will plank down money?
40835Petrovitch? 40835 Political?"
40835Rather late, is n''t it?
40835Rather undesirable company-- eh-- Ben?
40835Recently?
40835Recently?
40835Regarding her father, I suppose?
40835Sent away in disgrace, and I intend to discover what charge there is against her-- and the truth concerning it?
40835Serious? 40835 Set about by those with whom he has refused to associate-- eh?"
40835She was a short, dark- haired girl, rather good- looking, except that her top teeth protruded a little; about nineteen or so-- eh?
40835So you have been recently in London?
40835So you saw him dead-- eh?
40835Suppose he died?
40835Suppose you were seen by anyone who knows her? 40835 Surely he would be only too delighted to be able to thank you for your warning?"
40835Surely when you know all that it means to me, you will not refuse?
40835That means that we preserve the secret indefinitely?
40835That was last night-- eh?
40835The tragic story?
40835The woman?
40835Then I am to take it that it was not you I saw at Cromwell Road, Charlie?
40835Then he does n''t know?
40835Then he has it by now?
40835Then he is in hiding-- eh?
40835Then he is still unknown?
40835Then he may have left at nine o''clock this morning?
40835Then he''s an adventurer?
40835Then how are you so very positive that he died?
40835Then is n''t it genuine?
40835Then it is not concerning the works that you want to see Mr Statham?
40835Then it was all your own doing?
40835Then it''s a matter which you do not wish to discuss with me?
40835Then much depends upon the Doctor''s death?
40835Then private vengeance was the cause?
40835Then she anticipated something-- eh?
40835Then she is alive?
40835Then she is here?
40835Then she''s been discharged-- eh?
40835Then they are associated against you, you believe?
40835Then they are fugitives, I take it?
40835Then they''ve been stored at Chiswick, eh?
40835Then why fear for my personal safety?
40835Then why is he pressing me to go out to Constantinople?
40835Then why make a secret about your visit to the house on that particular evening?
40835Then why not come?
40835Then why not go to them?
40835Then you actually know who threw the explosive?
40835Then you admit that what you have just told me is not the truth?
40835Then you are a friend of Maud?
40835Then you are unaware of her whereabouts?
40835Then you believe that the whole thing is a fiction?
40835Then you deny having been at the house that evening?
40835Then you do n''t anticipate foul play?
40835Then you do not believe there has been a tragedy?
40835Then you had a reason for not going to Servia?
40835Then you have been the victim of a liar?
40835Then you have no idea where I could find the Doctor?
40835Then you have satisfied yourself that what I told you is correct?
40835Then you know the charge it is intended to bring against him-- eh?
40835Then you really can not obtain for me the information I desire?
40835Then you refuse to accept Mr Statham''s offer to you?
40835Then you think that some political undercurrent is responsible for this disappearance?
40835Then you think they''ve anticipated this, and killed him in secret?
40835Then you took an oath not to repeat what she told you?
40835Then you will set to work to discover what is known among the Opposition?
40835Then you''ll go to- night?
40835Then you-- you are leaving me?
40835Then your suggestion is that I should go and tell him openly my intentions?
40835Theory? 40835 There was n''t a bill of sale, or something of that sort, I suppose?"
40835Things that would be detrimental to you?
40835Think so?
40835This is indeed strange?
40835To interrupt pure friendship?
40835To me it seems outrageous, incomprehensible-- and yet--"Well?
40835To me?
40835To what, pray, do I owe this intrusion?
40835To whom?
40835Towards whom?
40835Was the confession made to you by the Doctor''s daughter of such a private nature that you really can not divulge it to me?
40835We must follow her?
40835Weel?
40835Well the natural suggestion is that the body of the midnight visitor was within that box?
40835Well, and will not every man with a sense of honour towards a woman hold the same opinion? 40835 Well, what are people saying now?"
40835Well, what do you suggest?
40835Well, why should I?
40835Well,he asked, with a sigh, as he stretched himself before he seated himself in the proffered chair,"what has happened?"
40835Well,he said,"old Statham has financial interests in Servia, has he not?"
40835Well-- how can I conjecture otherwise? 40835 Well-- how shall I put it, Miss Rolfe?"
40835Well-- shall I be frank?
40835Well?
40835Well?
40835Well?
40835Well?
40835Well?
40835Well?
40835Well?
40835Well?
40835What about Rolfe?
40835What about her?
40835What are we to do in the meantime?
40835What are you doing here when I ordered you to retire?
40835What can it all mean?
40835What can it be?
40835What can this possibly mean?
40835What can we do? 40835 What causes you to believe this?"
40835What did he say about me?
40835What do you anticipate?
40835What do you fear?
40835What do you mean by the woman who loves me?
40835What do you mean-- what do you suggest?
40835What do you mean? 40835 What do you mean?"
40835What do you mean?
40835What do you mean?
40835What do you mean?
40835What do you mean?
40835What do you, in the light of this secret knowledge, suspect?
40835What has she told you?
40835What have you discovered? 40835 What have you discovered?"
40835What is a woman''s honour as compared with your future? 40835 What is his exact position?"
40835What is his name? 40835 What is it?"
40835What is one of them? 40835 What is that?"
40835What is that?
40835What is the use? 40835 What makes you suspect that?"
40835What makes you think so?
40835What matters, my own, if I am away?
40835What nature is the business?
40835What satisfaction should I have were he to commit suicide? 40835 What shall I tell him?
40835What shall you do?
40835What stories have you heard?
40835What suspicion can he have?
40835What would be my future-- what will it be when my enemies, like a pack of wolves, fall upon me and tear me limb from limb? 40835 What''s his name?"
40835What-- in Heaven''s name-- is the meaning of this?
40835What-- run away? 40835 What-- the man Adams?"
40835What? 40835 What?
40835What?
40835What?
40835What?
40835When did she ask you?
40835When do you anticipate you could go East-- that is, providing I can get the matter postponed?
40835When do you expect the visit?
40835When do you propose starting for Constantinople?
40835When will Rolfe return?
40835When?
40835When?
40835Where does old Levi sleep?
40835Where does old Sam sleep?
40835Where is he now? 40835 Where is he now?"
40835Where is he?
40835Where is my sister?
40835Where is she? 40835 Where is she?"
40835Who are you, Miss Lorena, that you should make these direct allegations against me?
40835Who is Max Barclay?
40835Who is the assassin-- the murderer of children?
40835Who knows? 40835 Who''s coming?"
40835Who? 40835 Why are you going there?"
40835Why did n''t you tell me all this before?
40835Why did n''t you tell me this before? 40835 Why did you lose the train last night, Rolfe?"
40835Why do you ask that?
40835Why do you wish to conceal the fact, Miss Lorena?
40835Why have you brought me here, Miss Lorena?
40835Why have you refused my invitation so many times? 40835 Why have you so suddenly changed towards me, Marion?
40835Why impossible?
40835Why is she here? 40835 Why need he trouble?"
40835Why not now? 40835 Why not, Miss Lorena?
40835Why not?
40835Why not?
40835Why should I be? 40835 Why should I?"
40835Why should one?
40835Why should they impersonate you?
40835Why too late?
40835Why, do n''t you see?
40835Why, for me?
40835Why, mon, is n''t it as plain as plain can be? 40835 Why, of course, it is in your power to speak, if you wish?"
40835Why, what''s the matter?
40835Why? 40835 Why?"
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Will my information assist you in any way, Mr Statham?
40835Will you write it? 40835 Win?"
40835With what object, I wonder, is all this?
40835With you?
40835With you?--to Constantinople?
40835Yes; but if he keeps me, how can he keep a wife as well?
40835Yes; he could tell sufficient to cause Statham Brothers to close their doors-- eh?
40835Yes; why?
40835Yet where can I go? 40835 Yet would he not have sent word to me in secret?"
40835You are a partisan of the Karageorgevitch?
40835You believe that the same motive has led to the Doctor''s disappearance as was the cause of the bomb outrage at Topschieder?
40835You do n''t deny that you love young Barclay, do you?
40835You do n''t think I''d give you away, do you? 40835 You do not blame me?"
40835You have promised to save me; you have sworn to assist me, and the sacrifice is imperative?
40835You have promised your help, and also complete secrecy, have you not?
40835You have something to say to me-- is not that so?
40835You knew nothing of him prior to that?
40835You know her? 40835 You know what she told her?"
40835You live in Paris?
40835You love her-- eh?
40835You mean I''m too suspicious-- eh? 40835 You mean regarding the foreigner of last night?"
40835You mean that I should put twelve thousand into it?
40835You mean that they may have quarrelled?
40835You mean that we may find it necessary to secure Max Barclay''s aid at sacrifice of the girl-- eh?
40835You mean that you refuse to tell me anything concerning my sister?
40835You mean you refuse to tell me?
40835You saw them together after you had told me of Adams''return, or before?
40835You seem to be in their confidence, Miss Lorena?
40835You seem to know Servia and the complication of Servian politics, mademoiselle?
40835You spoke because I was Mr Statham''s secretary?
40835You think me mad-- eh? 40835 You were engaged to her-- eh?
40835You wish to speak to me-- eh?
40835You''ve inquired about that girl, I suppose?
40835You''ve seen him, and you know him?
40835You''ve spoken to this man Lyle?
40835You''ve-- you''ve found it-- eh?
40835You, her brother, can surely obtain the truth from her?
40835Your informants believe, perhaps, that it would not interest you?
40835A confession of a woman''s weakness-- eh?"
40835A friend of your brother''s, eh?
40835Again, suppose I got safely to Greece, what about the firm''s credit?
40835Alighting at the house, he presented his card to old Levi, who opened the door, and asked the favour of a few moments''conversation with Mr Statham?
40835And as for my friends, is there one I can trust-- except Ben and yourself, of course?"
40835And have n''t you endeavoured to find out her whereabouts?"
40835And if he loved her so well, was it possible that he could have been author of, or implicated, in a foul and secret crime?
40835And now?
40835And so he was the Doctor''s friend?"
40835And was it surprising when it was considered the power of Samuel Statham and the means at his command for the preservation of a secret?
40835And what does she say?"
40835And what reason is given for that?"
40835And why?
40835And why?
40835And, after all, who can blame him?
40835And-- and--""And what?"
40835Are you quite sure of this?"
40835Are you quite sure they are dead?"
40835Are you still of that opinion?"
40835At last he asked:"Can not you tell me something of the past relations between Adams and Statham?
40835Ay, where was she?
40835Been reading novels, perhaps-- eh?
40835Besides, my dear chap, why should I go there when I had been particularly asked by Maud not to visit the house?"
40835But do you think Rolfe would be guilty of such a thing?"
40835But how could she?
40835But how could she?
40835But how shall we begin?
40835But in what?"
40835But is it wise to turn one''s back upon Fortune in this way?"
40835But it does n''t prove anything, does it?"
40835But of what nature was it?
40835But she shall have it-- she shall?"
40835But the question was, who could be this dainty girl who called herself Lorena?
40835But was it surprising that at his house no guest was more welcome than the man who had rescued him from ruin and from death?
40835But what connection could old Statham have with the affair?
40835But what?
40835But what?
40835But who among the whole of that narrow, fast- living little world would care to know me as a poor man?
40835But who need know unless you yourself tell them?"
40835But why do you ask all this?"
40835But why?
40835But with what motive?
40835But would it not be to Statham''s interest to be on friendly terms with such a powerful factor in the Servian political world as Dr Petrovitch?"
40835But you''ve failed, you say?"
40835But,"he added, looking straight into the girl''s beautiful face,"will you not reconsider your decision, Miss Rolfe?"
40835But-- well-- why do you ask all this?"
40835But--""But what?"
40835Can I be more explicit?"
40835Can not you imagine, Max, my perturbed state of mind now that she has disappeared without a word?"
40835Can you really ask that?"
40835Can you suggest any friend she may have gone to visit?
40835Could he recognise him again?"
40835D''ye ken that, mon?"
40835D''ye ken that?"
40835Dare he face us?
40835Did I not tell you so a moment ago?"
40835Did Max Barclay really know how and why Marion had disappeared, and for motives of his own was making a mystery?
40835Did he not lay the foundation of the house by the exercise of cunning and unscrupulous double- dealing?
40835Did he suggest that he was to wilfully compromise her in the eyes of the world?
40835Did it not seem very much as though the thieves had visited there after Charles Rolfe had fled so hurriedly?
40835Did not the late Baron Hirsch lay the foundation of his huge fortune by a similar irade of his Majesty the Sultan?
40835Did that white- enamelled door upon the stairs conceal from the world the evidence of a crime?
40835Did they not kill poor Petkoff the other day in the Boris Garden in Sofia?
40835Do n''t come, will you?"
40835Do n''t you understand-- eh?"
40835Do you follow me?"
40835Do you happen to know a certain Mr John Adams?"
40835Do you happen to know who, besides Barclay, is interested in the scheme?"
40835Do you know the Doctor''s whereabouts?"
40835Do you start from Charing Cross to- night?"
40835Do you still doubt me?"
40835Does Adam know you?"
40835Does she know you are going?"
40835Does such a threat against a defenceless woman do you credit?"
40835Eventually Rolfe, lying back in an easy- chair, said:"Do you know, Sir Charles, a very curious thing has happened recently in London?"
40835FRIEND OR FOE?
40835For another few minutes they remained in silence, then Max whispered:"What shall we do?"
40835For what reason?
40835For what reason?"
40835Green had told him that is master had left for the Continent, and yet had he not with his own eyes seen him fly from that house in Cromwell Road?
40835Had any unpleasantness occurred between the two men, which his friend was concealing, knowing that Rolfe was his most intimate chum?
40835Had he brought her there at that unusual hour to deliver a discourse upon the perils of affection?
40835Had he carried this hatred to the extreme limit-- that of secret assassination?
40835Had he discovered the truth regarding the strange disappearance of the Doctor and his daughter?
40835Had he gone to Cromwell Road expecting to find the doctor at home, just as he had done?
40835Had he really had a hand in it?
40835Had he spoken the truth, or was he an ingenious liar?
40835Had this man, brother of his own dear Marion, sworn falsely upon what he had held to be most sacred-- his love for Maud?
40835Has he spoken to you about it?"
40835Hasna''our ain Bobbie said that facts are chiels that winna ding, and downa be disputed?"
40835Have I not said, a few moments ago, that I wanted to be your friend?"
40835Have a cigar?"
40835Have you been warehousing any goods either yesterday or to- day, or do you know of a job in Cromwell Road, at the house of a Doctor Petrovitch?"
40835Have you had no message of whatever sort from Maud?"
40835Have you heard nothing of them?"
40835Have you never seen me before?"
40835Have you never seen me before?"
40835Have you seen him?"
40835Have you written to Charlie telling him of the sudden disappearance?"
40835Have you, do you think, at any time recently given some cause for offence to the Doctor?"
40835He had just made a remark to that effect, and she had asked--"Why?
40835He might not like it if he knew we had discussed his business affairs-- eh?"
40835He turned upon Mr Cunnington in quick anger and said:"So I am to understand that you refuse me all information concerning her?"
40835How can I ask?
40835How can I repose equal confidence in you if you refuse me your name?"
40835How could he offer it to her without insult?
40835How could he put the proposal to the man before him?
40835How dare the old man do such a thing?"
40835How did you meet him?"
40835How did you obtain it?"
40835How much?"
40835How would the old man act?
40835I am not your enemy-- why should you be mine?"
40835I am only seeking information abort the lady-- Maud Petrovitch, I think you said was her name?"
40835I daresay you''ve heard that about me-- eh?"
40835I do n''t think much of the new girl; do you?
40835I have a suspicion that I can establish the identity of the foreigner in question-- a man who has to- day been missing?"
40835I know my own business best, surely?"
40835I know nothing about Servia, and besides--""Well?"
40835I know-- only--""Only what?
40835I may probably know him?"
40835I see?"
40835I sometimes think that--""That what?"
40835I suppose the affair can not wait?"
40835I wonder if he''s put any money into the venture?"
40835I wrote to Cunnington myself regarding her, did n''t I?
40835If Charlie is in love with her, and the affection is mutual, why does n''t he come straight and tell you?"
40835If I did not trust you, do you think my affection would be so strong for you as it is?"
40835If I were in possession of the facts, is it feasible that I should be so anxious of the welfare of Maud?"
40835If foul play were suspected, was it not her bounden duty to relate all she knew?
40835If he had, then why had he crept out of the place and made his escape so hurriedly?
40835If it is, as I suspect, a mere flirtation-- what then?"
40835If so, then where is the Doctor, where is his daughter Maud, and where are the servants?"
40835If this is so, why have they not attempted to levy blackmail?
40835If this were actually true, however, why should she reveal the truth to Maud''s lover?
40835If you saw the state of the place you''d know, would n''t you?"
40835If your sister chooses to go away and hide herself, how can I help it?"
40835In what disgrace?
40835In what manner did the furniture disappear?"
40835Indeed, had he not practically charged him with opening the Doctor''s safe and abstracting its contents?
40835Is Mr Cunnington himself aware of it?"
40835Is he an adventurer like Adam?"
40835Is he the Minister of Servia?"
40835Is it concerning the development of the business that you wish to see Mr Statham?"
40835Is it entirely cleared?"
40835Is it far?"
40835Is it just-- is it human?"
40835Is it like the haunted house in Berkeley Square about which people used to talk so much years ago?"
40835Is it not therefore surprising that he has never expressed a desire to seek out the truth?"
40835Is it or is it not, a fact that you were at the house in Cromwell Road on the night of-- of their disappearance?"
40835Is not that so?"
40835Is not that so?"
40835Is not your story a somewhat lame one?"
40835Is such an action honourable?
40835Is that so?"
40835Is there any other gossip?"
40835Is there any real reason why you should divulge it-- at least for the present?"
40835Is there not mystery in the whole affair?"
40835It is a secret between Muhil, Osman, and myself?"
40835It was a mystery, and as such remains, is not that so?"
40835It was rather injudicious just at this moment, was n''t it?"
40835Looks about as though there had been some foul play, does n''t it?"
40835Max Barclay loves you, does n''t he?
40835Max and Jean Adam were seated with a bottle of Krug between them when the former exclaimed--"Well, how does our business go?"
40835May I ask you to remain here until I return to you-- return to answer any inquiries you may be pleased to put to me?"
40835May I offer you something?"
40835May I with safety leave it there?"
40835News of her?
40835Now tell me, what do you know of its interior?
40835Now, do you understand?"
40835Of what?"
40835Old or young?"
40835Only--""Only what?"
40835Or should he preserve silence?
40835Or was he lurking there to ascertain who might be the visitor expected?
40835Or would it be safer to boldly face Max, and if he makes any remark, to deny it?"
40835Or would that further alarm the intruders?
40835Perhaps the gentleman wanted to get his things away, eh?"
40835Presently Rolfe said:"By the way, your Excellency, have you heard of late anything from Doctor Petrovitch?"
40835Rolfe''s her name, is it?"
40835Seen Marion lately?"
40835Shall I ever forget those moments, or how near both of us were to death?
40835Shall I show him in?"
40835Shall I tell him you wish to see him?"
40835Shall I throw out a gentle hint to him that the secret meetings would be best discontinued?"
40835She has expressed a suspicion of foul play?"
40835She knew Maud''s place of concealment, without a doubt; therefore, what more natural than she should have joined her?
40835Should he rap at the door?
40835Should he speak?
40835So what is the use of expounding my theory?"
40835Strange, is n''t it, that each one of us earns a reputation for something in which really does not excel?"
40835Suppose he had sailed for India, South America, or South Africa, for instance?
40835That''s quite certain?"
40835The car is awaiting you at the Marble Arch, is n''t it?"
40835The charming young lady whom I met with you the other night does not wish you to leave her side-- eh?
40835The people killed King Alexander, it is true; but did we not kill King Charles?"
40835The present was already dead, the future--?
40835Then he seated himself, saying:"Now, old fellow, what are we to do?
40835Then you really suspect that both Maud and her father have actually been the victims of some political plot?"
40835Then, glancing at Marion, he added:"I trust that Mademoiselle will forgive this intrusion?"
40835Then, standing before them, he said:"I presume, gentlemen, that your curiosity led you to break into my house?"
40835Then, with a quick movement he pulled up his sleeve and showed on his right forearm a great cicatrice, asking:"Do you remember how I received this?"
40835There''s some extraordinary story about his house in Park Lane, is n''t there?
40835They come from the East somewhere, do n''t they-- a half- civilised lot?"
40835This foreign doctor was a friend of yours, I suppose?"
40835This is quite a revelation?"
40835Was Charlie playing a straight game?
40835Was Max Barclay really his friend?
40835Was he asked to put money into the scheme, do you know?"
40835Was he lying; or had he really gone to Cromwell Road in search of the Doctor and found the house untenanted and empty?
40835Was he lying?
40835Was he telling an untruth?
40835Was he the"friend"of whom Sir Charles had spoken in Belgrade?
40835Was her father hoping that she would marry some young Servian-- a man of his own race?
40835Was it not in itself circumstantial evidence that some terrible crime had been committed?
40835Was it not the unconscious truth that she spoke?
40835Was it part of the millionaire''s cunning policy in Servia to rid the country of its greatest statesman?
40835Was it possible that he had misjudged him?
40835Was it possible that his employer knew his secret-- the secret of his visit to Cromwell Road on the previous night?
40835Was it possible that his master knew well all the circumstances which had led the doctor to disappear in that manner so extraordinary?
40835Was it really possible that he was in ignorance?
40835Was it really possible?
40835Was it sheer luck that had led this man Adam to offer to take him into it, or had the man some ulterior motive?
40835Was it worth while at present, he reflected, saying anything to the police regarding the blood- stained garment?
40835Was she given to that?"
40835Was she merely carrying on a mild flirtation with him because of a sheer love of romance?
40835Was that stain shown so vividly beneath the white moonbeams actually the stain of blood?
40835Was the man before him his enemy or his friend?
40835Was the man who threw the bomb caught?"
40835Was the star of Rolfe''s prosperity on the wane?
40835We''ll first see how Charlie''s marriage turns out-- eh?"
40835Well?"
40835Well?"
40835Were thieves within?
40835What are you up for?"
40835What could I do?
40835What could Max prove after all?
40835What could have occurred to have caused this revolution in the Doctor''s house?
40835What could he dread if this denial of his was the actual truth?
40835What could he say?
40835What could it all mean?
40835What could it all mean?
40835What could it mean?
40835What could it mean?
40835What could it possibly be?
40835What could possibly have been its object?
40835What could she know of the Damoclean sword suspended over the house of Statham?
40835What could the girl mean?
40835What did he mean?
40835What do you believe the real truth to be?"
40835What do you know of him?
40835What do you know of him?"
40835What do you mean?"
40835What do you suggest it could be?"
40835What do you suspect me of?"
40835What does he concern you?
40835What does he do?
40835What does the sacrifice of one woman matter when it will mean the assurance of my future-- my salvation from ruin?"
40835What explanation could she offer to Max?
40835What greater tragedy could there be than the death of the innocent child blown to atoms by the bomb?
40835What had become of the dear old Doctor and the pretty girl with the tiny wisp of hair straying across her white brow?
40835What had he been doing in the empty house?
40835What is it you wish to say?
40835What mair d''ye want?"
40835What more can I want?"
40835What nationality was this Petrovitch?"
40835What secret could possibly be hidden in those upper storeys that were at times so brilliantly lit?
40835What shall I do?
40835What should he do?
40835What then?
40835What was it?
40835What was it?
40835What was it?"
40835What was she?
40835What was the actual truth of that sadden disappearance?
40835What was the real and actual truth?
40835What were they?
40835What would Charlie say?
40835What would Max think?
40835What would he believe?
40835What would he say if he knew that she had dared to go alone there-- that she was seated in the old man''s private room?
40835What would she think of him if she actually knew the truth?
40835What''s the matter?"
40835What, have they gone under?"
40835What, indeed, could he say?
40835What, indeed, would he have thought if he had witnessed old Sam''s consequent agitation, or overheard his confession to Rolfe?
40835What?"
40835When we met before it was under different circumstances-- very different, were n''t they?"
40835When will he buy us all up to- day?"
40835When?"
40835Where did he keep it?
40835Where did you see Maud last night?"
40835Where have you been all this long time?"
40835Where is he?"
40835Where is it?"
40835Where is she now?"
40835Where is she?
40835Where is yours to- day, and"--he sighed--"where is mine?"
40835Where shall we begin?"
40835Where shall we commence?"
40835Where was she?
40835Where was the statesman now?
40835Who could it be?
40835Who could this girl be who dined with Prime Ministers, and who was, apparently, behind the scenes of Balkan politics?
40835Who does me the great honour of entertaining any affection for me?"
40835Who has not?
40835Who has not?"
40835Who is with him now?"
40835Who knows?
40835Who was it if not the man seated there before him?
40835Who was she?
40835Who''d have thought of seeing you here?
40835Who?"
40835Whom?"
40835Why am I bothered?"
40835Why court unhappiness?
40835Why did Marion not openly tell him of her fears or misgivings?
40835Why did not she give him at least some idea of the nature of her companion''s admissions?
40835Why do you say that?"
40835Why do you say these things?"
40835Why does n''t he?"
40835Why forbid us also from seeking the Doctor and his daughter?"
40835Why had Charles Rolfe fled so hurriedly and secretly from the place?
40835Why had Rolfe been there?
40835Why had he insisted that she should visit him in secret?
40835Why had he openly charged him with having been present at the house in Cromwell Road after the disappearance of the Doctor and his daughter?
40835Why had he taken such a sudden dislike to him?
40835Why had his employer altered his declaration so as to suit the exigencies of the moment?
40835Why had not Maud written?
40835Why had she left Cunnington''s?
40835Why has she left?"
40835Why not ask them?"
40835Why not go to somebody else?"
40835Why should I?"
40835Why should he open his gates to an enemy?
40835Why waste time like this?
40835Why were those brilliant lights sometimes at night in the upper windows?
40835Why, for instance, did Maud Petrovitch visit you to- night?"
40835Why, he wondered, had she sought him?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?
40835Why?"
40835Why?"
40835Will you do it?"
40835Will you go, Miss Rolfe?"
40835Will you not assist me?"
40835Will you not explain?
40835With what motive had an unknown man represented him on the night in question?
40835Would he not spare fourteen days, travel there, and obtain it?
40835Would he tell me, do you think?"
40835Would it be fair, or just?
40835Would it be safe to approach her?
40835Would it not be better to ask the young lady herself?"
40835Would she not rather hide it from him?
40835Would the old financier assist him to discover the truth?
40835Would you like me to send a man round to the house with you in order to give it a look over?"
40835Ye do n''t think that I come to London a cringin''for more pay, do ye?
40835Yet are not some men happy with the love of a good wife?"
40835Yet how can he?--what impressions can he have?
40835Yet how, recollecting that he had left the empty house in secret, could he believe that Max knew the truth and was concealing it?
40835Yet if there has been a secret tragedy, why should the furniture have been made to disappear as well as themselves?"
40835Yet was it not only what might be very naturally supposed that she would do?
40835Yet what could that confession be?
40835Yet what was the meaning of it all?
40835You actually say you saw me?"
40835You and I were both young once-- eh?
40835You are aware of rule seventy- three-- eh?"
40835You are early?"
40835You go to Paris first, I suppose?"
40835You know Harmer''s place at Chiswick, not far from Turnham Green railway station?
40835You know her, of course?"
40835You know him, I believe?"
40835You know him?"
40835You know how I love you-- and you surely recollect your promise to me, do n''t you?"
40835You know that, do n''t you?"
40835You know the horrors of the fortress here, on the Danube, with its subterranean cells-- eh?"
40835You mean the secret lover-- the man who was here yesterday and bought a twenty- guinea evening gown of her to send to his sister-- eh?"
40835You refuse to say anything?"
40835You surely know that-- have I not told you so a hundred times?
40835You yourself, Max, for instance, are not the man to give a woman away?"
40835You''re afraid of what people might say-- eh?
40835Your sister?"
40835_ Where can I see her_?"
40835and how is Mr Statham?
40835and what causes you to believe that?"
40835are you going abroad?"
40835asked the girl, crimsoning--"sent out from your establishment without a character?"
40835gasped the man from Glasgow;"ye do n''t say ye''re at the mercy of those devils?"
40835he faltered--"what do you mean to imply?--why--?"
40835he gasped, staring straight before him,"what then?"
40835so you are a flatterer-- eh?"
40835the black trunk?"
40835then you believe me, Levi?"
40835then you have quarrelled-- eh?"
40835valuable man-- eh?
40835you''re very fond of your brother, eh?"
5231A man must be hard or soft,--which is best?
5231A new neighbour?
5231About Melmotte, you mean?
5231After all, why should not Dolly marry a lady?
5231Ah, indeed;--why not? 5231 Ah,--what can be done?
5231Ah,--yes; if one knew who?
5231Ai n''t I a friend, Ruby?
5231Ai n''t he here?
5231Ai n''t she bootiful now?
5231Ai n''t single ladies much thought of in California?
5231All the money!--What do you know about the money? 5231 Am I mistaken in supposing that I have n''t been paid my money?"
5231Am I mistaken in supposing that my name has been forged to a letter?
5231Am I not always glad to come, Lady Carbury?
5231Am I not justified in saying it?
5231Am I to be a slave?
5231Am I to believe that?
5231And I, who have come hither from California to see you, am to return satisfied because you tell me that you have-- changed your affections? 5231 And Lady Julia Start?"
5231And a Jew?
5231And about me?
5231And about my own income?
5231And am I to keep the other?
5231And another up here in town?
5231And are you going to leave, ma''am?
5231And are you to come?
5231And be in bed, and listen while he knocks,--knowing that he must wander in the streets if I refuse to let him in? 5231 And can that be done over in California?"
5231And could n''t you manage that I should have the shares before the twentieth of next month?
5231And did you go in?
5231And full of triumph, I suppose?
5231And has she got the money?
5231And how did it end?
5231And how do you like it?
5231And how do you show it;--or your love for me? 5231 And how is it to be?
5231And how long have you and she understood each other?
5231And if a gentleman told you so?
5231And in the meantime what is your own property?
5231And my wife;--does she know?
5231And nearly as old as I am?
5231And now what about Winifrid Hurtle?
5231And now,she said,"tell me about yourself?"
5231And sea?
5231And she has been,--a friend of Paul''s?
5231And she has promised to have you?
5231And that is all?
5231And the dinner went off pretty well?
5231And the father?
5231And the girl?
5231And the land is to be made over to you,--when?
5231And there shall be no more nonsense?
5231And therefore is it not imperative that he should marry a girl with money?
5231And to vere has Mr. Cohenlupe gone?
5231And turn you out of your own house? 5231 And ven shall it be?
5231And what am I to do?
5231And what am I to say to aunt?
5231And what did Mr. Melmotte say?
5231And what did you say to her?
5231And what do you mean that I''m to do, Sir Felix?
5231And what do you think of her?
5231And what does Marie say?
5231And what does that matter? 5231 And what would she do, remaining here?"
5231And what''s that?
5231And what''s the result?
5231And when''ll I come back again?
5231And where had we better go to?
5231And where is he now, aunt?
5231And where is it as''em dances?
5231And where is the money you took from your mother?
5231And where will she go?
5231And where would Mr. Carbury go?
5231And where''s Mr. Killegrew,--and Sir David Boss?
5231And where''s the Lord Mayor?
5231And where''s the money gone?
5231And whose is this?
5231And why not you?
5231And why should you be entitled to Montague''s money more than any of us?
5231And why should you no be willing, you contrairy young jade, you?
5231And would Didon go too?
5231And would you come to Folkestone?
5231And you are no longer an editor?
5231And you have accepted nothing?
5231And you know he means it now?
5231And you loved her?
5231And you mean to be as good as your word?
5231And you mean to put up with it, mamma?
5231And you think that money got in that way redounds to his credit?
5231And you will come back to me?
5231And you will expect Miss Ruby to come to the scratch?
5231And you will go yourself?
5231And you will tell me nothing? 5231 And you would be really proud of Mr. Melmotte as a convert?"
5231And you''ll come?
5231And you''ll see about letting me have those shares?
5231And you''ve seen somebody you like better than me?
5231And you;--what did you say?
5231And you?
5231Anything particular do you mean?
5231Anything serious?
5231Are any of you coming to church, or are you going to keep the carriage waiting all day?
5231Are not you going to the men?
5231Are the Longestaffes mixed up in it? 5231 Are the Mexicans a new people?"
5231Are they going to send you to prison?
5231Are you angry with me?
5231Are you going down to the club for supper at this time in the morning?
5231Are you going to see Melmotte, sir?
5231Are you in the house here?
5231Are you like that? 5231 As it happens I have not,"said Sir Felix;--"but what if I had?"
5231As to her, I suppose it does not matter what she says, does it?
5231As well as George Whitstable? 5231 As you found yourself obliged to run away,"said Roger,"I''m glad that you should be here; but you do n''t mean to stay here always?"
5231At the expense of anything?
5231At the expense of veracity?
5231Because I love you;--that''s why I come; eh, Ruby? 5231 Because I''m so detestable?"
5231Been along wi''Ruby?
5231Brandy?
5231But I suppose he intends that you shall be married?
5231But does he love her?
5231But he''s so savage; is n''t he?
5231But how has it not come off?
5231But how?
5231But if I ca n''t be unanimous?
5231But if I do n''t?
5231But if she does n''t like him?
5231But if she will not see me?
5231But if there is, what has that to do with a railway in the city? 5231 But if they should say that I''m not an Englishman?"
5231But is n''t it true? 5231 But she has one?"
5231But she loves you?
5231But we are to go back?
5231But what am I to do? 5231 But what can she do?
5231But what does that signify? 5231 But what is the use of his coming to me?
5231But what''s beauty, Mrs. Hurtle? 5231 But what''s the good of it?
5231But what''s the use of having them?
5231But when?
5231But why did he come to me in his madness-- to me especially? 5231 But why did n''t he give you the scrip?"
5231But why did n''t you come by the train you named?
5231But why not, papa? 5231 But why should you be false to her?
5231But why?
5231But you agree that we ought to do something about these shares?
5231But you are prospering in this business?
5231But you did not promise to speak;--did you?
5231But you do love me?
5231But you have changed your mind?
5231But you have got enough to support a baronet''s title?
5231But you will be his friend?
5231But you,--when did you arrive here?
5231But, Felix?
5231By- the- bye, Mr. Melmotte,said he,"could you let me have those shares?"
5231C''est tout en règle?
5231CAN I MARRY THE MAN I DO NOT LOVE?
5231CAN YOU BE READY IN TEN MINUTES?
5231CAN YOU BE READY IN TEN MINUTES?
5231Can I have a horse to ride over to Caversham this afternoon?
5231Can I? 5231 Can they hurt you, Melmotte?"
5231Can you love me like that?
5231Certainly;--why not? 5231 Come; what is it?
5231Could n''t Lord Alfred say a word to him?
5231Dear me;--isn''t it odd, having a lot of people in one''s own house, and not being able to speak a word to them? 5231 Did I say anything?
5231Did I? 5231 Did I?"
5231Did anybody ever see anything so vulgar?
5231Did he forbid you to come there any more?
5231Did he intend to insult you?
5231Did he see them?
5231Did he tell you of my answer?
5231Did he? 5231 Did n''t she like him, Daniel?"
5231Did n''t ye say as how ye''d have him? 5231 Did n''t you have a row in the street with some one the other day?"
5231Did n''t you say as you would, Ruby? 5231 Did not you yourself feel that you were rebuked for coming here with me, when he expressed surprise at your journey?
5231Did she not come over here to marry some one else?
5231Did she say anything?
5231Did ye find her, squoire?
5231Did you ever hear anything like that, Nidderdale?
5231Did you give her up then?
5231Did you give it to Sir Felix Carbury?
5231Did you not advise me to get out of it, Roger;--before we knew as much as we do now?
5231Did you not promise that we should go back if we would come down and entertain these people?
5231Did you not say the girl had promised to love that man?
5231Did you not?
5231Did you say a good word for me?
5231Did you say you would be my husband? 5231 Did you-- know of him before?"
5231Do I?
5231Do n''t I? 5231 Do n''t she have a bellyful o''vittels?"
5231Do n''t they? 5231 Do n''t we wish we may get it?"
5231Do n''t you feel ashamed of yourself?
5231Do n''t you see lots of old bachelors about, Ruby?
5231Do n''t you think he is right?
5231Do n''t you think it''s anything out of the way to be engaged to a young man and then to throw him over? 5231 Do n''t you think that Carbury and I ought to have some shares to sell?"
5231Do n''t you think they should be equal in that respect?
5231Do they?
5231Do we say our prayers in them when we have built them?
5231Do you believe about the Austrian Insurance Company?
5231Do you believe it?
5231Do you consider that she''s engaged to you?
5231Do you know anything about it?
5231Do you know anything about that young fellow?
5231Do you know him, Felix?
5231Do you know how much you owe me?
5231Do you know of the scourges, as a fact?
5231Do you know that she loves Felix? 5231 Do you like Mr. Broune, Hetta?"
5231Do you love him as I would have you love me?
5231Do you mean that Felix should not marry the girl, even if they love each other?
5231Do you mean that he should have come in? 5231 Do you mean that he volunteered that,--as a threat?"
5231Do you mean that that is settled?
5231Do you mean that you are engaged to marry him?
5231Do you mean that you, my own child, will attempt to rob your father just at the moment you can destroy him by your wickedness?
5231Do you mean that, after all, I am to be thrown off like an old glove? 5231 Do you mean that?"
5231Do you mean to give it then?
5231Do you mean to hint anything?
5231Do you mean to let him eat up everything you have to your last shilling, and then go to the workhouse with him?
5231Do you mean to make her your wife?
5231Do you mean to say I ca n''t come in?
5231Do you mean to say that I have opened your drawer?
5231Do you mean to say that you ca n''t ask anybody to your house without asking everybody that lives with that person? 5231 Do you mean to say that-- you are going to-- throw me over?"
5231Do you mean to say, Felix, that Marie Melmotte has accepted you?
5231Do you mean to tell her that my statement is untrue?
5231Do you not like me to say that I would have you be a hero?
5231Do you not? 5231 Do you now refuse to keep your promise?
5231Do you now?
5231Do you now?
5231Do you really love me well enough?
5231Do you remember what you said to me that evening at my mother''s?
5231Do you stay long?
5231Do you suppose, my friend, that I run after them for my own gratification? 5231 Do you think I shall ever forget your preferences and dislikings?
5231Do you think he gambles?
5231Do you think it is worse than others have suffered before you? 5231 Do you think it must be so;--certainly?"
5231Do you think only of yourself? 5231 Do you understand how much I am in need of comfort?"
5231Do you want my daughter?
5231Do you wonder that that is a story that a woman should hesitate to tell? 5231 Do you?
5231Do you?
5231Do you?
5231Does Mr. Montague mean to make you his wife?
5231Does Mr. Paul Montague mean to make you his wife?
5231Does he expect me to find anybody here that I could take? 5231 Does she see Felix Carbury?"
5231Engaged to marry Miss Melmotte?
5231Even though their own objects may be vile and pernicious?
5231Everything is ready in your own house?
5231Explains what, Felix?
5231Felix, how dare you say things so wicked as that to me?
5231Felix,she said,"why do you make so much noise as you come in?"
5231Find out what?
5231Gentlemen,said Mr. Melmotte, in his usual hurried way,"is it your pleasure that I shall sign the record?"
5231Georgey,she said one morning in their mother''s presence,"do n''t you think Mr. Brehgert''s watch ought to go back to him without any more delay?"
5231Go too-- why should n''t she?
5231Go where?
5231Going to dine here, Dolly?
5231Going to hunt to- morrow?
5231Good news?
5231HAVE YOU HEARD WHAT''S UP, JU?
5231Had he any meaning?
5231Had she been divorced then?
5231Had you not better ask him about it?
5231Had you not better send for a doctor?
5231Had you seen him before?
5231Halloo, old fellow,he said,"you''ve been keeping it up late here; have n''t you?"
5231Has Longestaffe''s money been paid?
5231Has Lord Alfred been here?
5231Has Roger asked you?
5231Has he asked you to marry him?
5231Has he done anything, mamma?
5231Has he heard about Felix;--has he come about that?
5231Has he seen her?
5231Has it made you happy?
5231Has it never been done?
5231Has n''t he now?
5231Has she a husband?
5231Has she written to you, then?
5231Has your mother been told?
5231Have I behaved bad?
5231Have another rubber, Alfred?
5231Have it been put in writing, Sir Felix Carbury?
5231Have n''t they been made?
5231Have n''t you been out?
5231Have you and Sir Felix put any money into it?
5231Have you anything special to say about the Railway?
5231Have you asked him?
5231Have you been at the Melmottes''to- day?
5231Have you been riding?
5231Have you been thinking about what we were talking about the other day?
5231Have you been thinking any more about it?
5231Have you been up with Marie to- day?
5231Have you been up with the ladies?
5231Have you got it?
5231Have you had a pleasant evening, mamma?
5231Have you had a pleasant evening, my dear?
5231Have you heard from the man?
5231Have you heard what''s up, Ju?
5231Have you no particular friend?
5231Have you nothing to say?
5231Have you seen Felix?
5231Have you seen Marie lately?
5231Have you seen him since you went to Liverpool?
5231Have you seen him?
5231Have you the courage to ask him? 5231 He brazens it out, do n''t he?"
5231He does n''t do any harm, I suppose?
5231He is a gentleman then?
5231He is that fat man?
5231He knows nothing about her coming to town?
5231He might have said, why did n''t you tell Longestaffe?
5231He was regularly smashed, I suppose?
5231He will not try again, you think?
5231He''s a young man, is n''t he?
5231He''s awfully full of work just now,--you wo n''t forget that;--will you?
5231He''s going to do something out in the East, is n''t he?
5231He''s not dead then?
5231Heard what?
5231Hetta, wherever have you been?
5231Hetta, why do n''t you speak to me?
5231Hetta,she said,"why do n''t you speak to me?"
5231His own affairs, Roger? 5231 How about getting married?"
5231How about money though?
5231How am I to answer you at a moment? 5231 How am I to control my thoughts?
5231How am I to tell? 5231 How are they changed?
5231How can I answer that myself? 5231 How can I help it, Georgey?
5231How can I say, mamma?
5231How can I say, yet? 5231 How can I show that I care more than by wishing to make you my wife?"
5231How can I tell her? 5231 How can I tell?
5231How can he know, mamma?
5231How can mamma be such a hypocrite as to pretend to care what Dolly says? 5231 How can there be any comfort?
5231How can you know that?
5231How can you know, Miss Melmotte, but by believing?
5231How can you know? 5231 How can you say that when she has just accepted this young man?
5231How can you speak so of one who has treated you with the utmost contumely?
5231How can you trust me to answer such a question? 5231 How could I take your money?
5231How could he do that, mamma?
5231How could he,--expecting to find you?
5231How could it become yours, Marie? 5231 How do you dare to tell me that what I say is nonsense?"
5231How do you do, Sir Felix?
5231How do you expect to live, then? 5231 How do you intend to answer him?"
5231How do you know till I''ve made it?
5231How do you like the party?
5231How does he manage it? 5231 How far have you got?"
5231How is it that there are so many places empty?
5231How is one to know when and how and why a young man like that will change his purpose?
5231How last?
5231How long do you suppose that we shall be kept here?
5231How long was he here?
5231How many horses have you got at Leighton, Dolly?
5231How many? 5231 How much?"
5231How much?
5231How row?
5231How shall it be?
5231How should you,--with all the world flocking round you? 5231 How the deuce am I to get there?"
5231How''d you do, Miss Longestaffe? 5231 I am to be alone?"
5231I did n''t mean nothing bad, Mrs. Hurtle; only why could n''t he say what he had to say himself, instead of bringing another to say it for him? 5231 I do n''t suppose he sent you here?"
5231I may come to the hall as I go back home?
5231I mean really the sea, Paul?
5231I suppose all this about Miss Melmotte is true?
5231I suppose he can be cross?
5231I suppose he told you everything;--didn''t he? 5231 I suppose it will make no difference to you whether your chairman be in Parliament or not?"
5231I suppose old Melmotte is all right?
5231I suppose one can get a dinner here?
5231I suppose the old man down here did ill use her?
5231I suppose they allow some time to their own Directors, if a deposit, say 50 per cent., is made for the shares?
5231I suppose you still retain an interest in the paper?
5231I suppose you were at the Board?
5231I suppose you''ll take him if he asks you?
5231I suppose, mamma, you will write to papa?
5231I wonder what you expect, Hetta, when you talk of-- London people? 5231 I wonder whether any fellow would buy these for five shillings in the pound?"
5231I wonder whether his father did it, or old Bideawhile, or Melmotte himself?
5231I wonder whether that will come to anything?
5231I wonder whether you''d hate Frisco?
5231I''ve worked for it, I suppose;--haven''t I?
5231I? 5231 IN THE MEANTIME WHAT IS YOUR OWN PROPERTY?"
5231If I do n''t mind them, why need you? 5231 If he did nothing, how much better would that be than what he does in town?
5231If he were to marry and have children, how would it be then?
5231If he were unworthy would your heart never change?
5231If you''re wrong about the money, and he should n''t come round, where should we be then?
5231In God''s name where do you expect the money is to come from?
5231In fact, there is nothing more to be done, I suppose?
5231In what sort of way, my dear?
5231In what way lucky?
5231In what way, my dear?
5231Is Cromer by the sea?
5231Is Montague going to marry her?
5231Is Mr. Lupton going?
5231Is anything going to happen, Melmotte?
5231Is anything the matter, Felix?
5231Is he doing anything?
5231Is he hurt, mamma?
5231Is he ill, mamma?
5231Is he ill? 5231 Is he nice?"
5231Is he the only man you can trust? 5231 Is he, now?"
5231Is it about that other scamp?
5231Is it about the election?
5231Is it always ready money?
5231Is it anything about the election to- morrow?
5231Is it anything special?
5231Is it business?
5231Is it honest then, or like a gentleman, that you should be with her in this way? 5231 Is it mine?"
5231Is it my fault, mamma?
5231Is it my nature to say bitter things? 5231 Is it not my business too?"
5231Is n''t there any playing?
5231Is not Mr. Grendall coming?
5231Is not that dangerous? 5231 Is she a widow?"
5231Is she civil to you?
5231Is she here?
5231Is she? 5231 Is that all?"
5231Is that all?
5231Is that his message, Miss Carbury?
5231Is that the reason you have n''t played the last two nights?
5231Is that true?
5231Is that you, Miles?
5231Is the man a Jew?
5231Is there any doubt about our going to- night?
5231Is there any law against dancing three times?
5231Is there anything in it that seems to you to be unreasonable? 5231 Is there anything the matter?"
5231Is there anything up between you and Miles?
5231Is there anything wrong, Melmotte?
5231Is this wise?
5231Is your Grace going?
5231Is yours stern, my lord?
5231It is that,--or staying here?
5231It looks homely; do n''t it, John?
5231It will be the proper thing to do;--won''t it?
5231It''ll stop the sale?
5231It''s an expensive sort of thing;--isn''t it?
5231It''s your own fault, Ruby; is n''t it?
5231John Crumb coming here, grandfather? 5231 John Crumb, have you anything to say?"
5231Just so, mother;--but how about the twenty pounds?
5231Laws a mercy; what is it?
5231Let me have my say, will ye, yer jade, you? 5231 Madame Melmotte?"
5231Mamma, have you any idea what papa means to do?
5231Mamma, where are you going?
5231Mamma, why do n''t you let me be a comfort to you? 5231 Mamma, you can not really mean to talk about that now?"
5231Mamma,said Hetta jumping up,"how can you talk to me in that way?
5231Marie, how can you be so wicked? 5231 Marie, why ca n''t you let your papa speak?"
5231Marie,he said,"will you do this to save your father from destruction?"
5231Marie,--do you wish to see me disgraced and ruined? 5231 Matter;--what should be the matter?
5231May I be allowed to tell her who was asking after her?
5231May I go to papa?
5231May I hear what you say to her?
5231May I speak to Sir Damask about it?
5231Melmotte''s at Pickering?
5231Mention what? 5231 Miss Carbury?"
5231Money to come from, sir? 5231 More nor once or twice?"
5231Mother,he said,"would you mind coming into the other room?"
5231Mr. Carbury did take it upon himself to rebuke you for showing yourself on the sands at Lowestoft with such a one as I am?
5231Mr. Grendall has not been here?
5231Mrs. Hurtle has gone down to Southend?
5231Must the purpose be told to- night?
5231My dear fellow, what''s the use of your flurrying yourself? 5231 My dear young friend, what can I do for you?"
5231My dear, what can we do?
5231My dears, if you quarrel what am I to do?
5231No disgrace in going about at midnight with such a one as Felix Carbury? 5231 No;--why should I have seen him?
5231Nor Lord Alfred? 5231 Nor Lord Alfred?"
5231Nor got any profits?
5231Not back at the office, Croll?
5231Not going to talk about it here?
5231Not when you borrow her money?
5231Now that you are going to leave me, Paul, is there any advice you can give me, as to what I shall do next? 5231 Now, Mrs. Pipkin, just you say,"pleaded Ruby,"how was it possible for any girl to live with an old man like that?"
5231Now, have you done?
5231Of course there''s a house to live in and clothes to wear; but what''s to be the end of it? 5231 Oh Dolly, whoever would have thought of seeing you?"
5231Oh dear no;--why not certainly? 5231 Oh laws, Mr. Montague, is that you?"
5231Oh no;--how should I?
5231Oh, Mr. Melmotte, vat is de matter?
5231Oh, Roger, how has he been false?
5231Oh, do n''t I?
5231Oh, indeed;--Miss Carbury!--the sister of Sir Felix Carbury?
5231Oh, mamma, do you mean me?
5231Oh, the heir are you? 5231 Oh, you were there;--were you?
5231Oh;--didn''t he?
5231Or heard from him?
5231Or shall I send Didon, and give you the money on board the ship?
5231Papa, do n''t you think you could settle now when we are to go back to town? 5231 Paul,"she said,"I have come again across the Atlantic on purpose to see you,--after so many months,--and will you not give me one kiss?
5231Roger Carbury will not say so?
5231Rough;--what the devil do you mean by that?
5231Ruby and I are both honest;--ain''t we, Ruby? 5231 Say to her?
5231Say;--what should he say? 5231 Seen whom?"
5231Settled on whom?
5231Shall I be your darling? 5231 Shall I come up again?"
5231Shall I marry him, mamma, without loving him?
5231Shall I write to her;--or shall I see her?
5231Shall we have to move?
5231Shall we have to-- move again?
5231Shall you go?
5231She do n''t deserve it; do she? 5231 She had money with her?"
5231She has accepted you, herself?
5231She has consented to your coming to me?
5231She has made it up with her grandfather?
5231She has written to you;--has she not?
5231She knows you''re coming then?
5231She told you to go to her father?
5231She wo n''t let the Baro- nite come there?
5231So he has given up the paper?
5231So he was Mr. Montague''s partner,--was he now?
5231So you think it would be best that you and I should never see each other again?
5231Speak, man,--is it that you want a younger wife?
5231Stay how long?
5231Surely he has not quarrelled with you, Hetta?
5231Tell me this, Hetta; are you engaged to marry him?
5231Tell me, Melmotte;--are they going to?
5231Tell you what?
5231That is full of people; is it not?--a fashionable place?
5231That is his message;--is it?
5231That it is all over?
5231That moight come in handy by- and- by;--moightn''t it, squoire?
5231That we can hardly help;--can we? 5231 That''s Didon''s plan?"
5231That''s another dodge, is it?
5231That''s his game;--is it?
5231That''s what Roger says; is it? 5231 The ladies have come back from Southend, Miss Ruggles?"
5231Then a girl is to marry without stopping even to think whether she likes the man or not?
5231Then how do you know? 5231 Then what is it?"
5231Then what makes you think he would marry you?
5231Then what must she be, to be here with you? 5231 Then why did n''t he behave as such?"
5231Then why do you beg her last shilling from your mother, and when you have money not pay it back to her?
5231Then why do you come and live with them?
5231Then why do you do it? 5231 Then why not open it to- night?
5231Then why risk it by such an act? 5231 Then why tell me that we know so little of each other?
5231Then why the deuce should you give it him?
5231Then why wo n''t you let me bring her back again?
5231Then you think that Mr. Melmotte is--?
5231Then, sir, are you not a liar?
5231Then, when the deuce will you pay me what you owe me?
5231There ai n''t nothing wanting in his house;--is there, John? 5231 There is no one as yet?"
5231There is not going to be any fighting, Felix?
5231There is nothing, then, between you? 5231 There''s no knowing;--is there?"
5231There''s some lover, is n''t there;--some would- be husband whom she does not like?
5231They are down here then?
5231They did n''t know, then?
5231They did, did they? 5231 Things will go on just the same as usual, Melmotte?"
5231This is awful;--ain''t it?
5231This is your game, is it?
5231This young woman is living here;--is she?
5231To marry a girl, the daughter of vulgar people, just because she will have a great deal of money? 5231 To pull me all about by the hairs of my head was n''t the way to make a girl keep her word;--was it, Mr. Carbury?
5231To say what?
5231Very small? 5231 Vy not, my dear?
5231WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES THAT MAKE?
5231Was he angry with you?
5231Was he uncivil to you?
5231Was n''t John Crumb regular, Ruby?
5231Was n''t Vossner ever caught?
5231Was that all you saw of him?
5231Was that for her-- health?
5231Was there ever such a stoopid as John Crumb? 5231 We can make up a rubber;--can''t we?"
5231We need n''t break our hearts about that;--need we?
5231Well, Croll,he said with an attempt at a smile,"what brings you here so early?"
5231Well, Miss Melmotte,he said;"governors are stern beings: are they not?"
5231Well, my Lord, and how are you?
5231Well,he said;"what do you think of it?
5231Well; what has he said?
5231Well;--it ca n''t be helped; can it? 5231 Well?"
5231Well?
5231Were you indeed? 5231 What Mr. Brehgert is he?"
5231What am I to do with him?
5231What am I to say to the Squire?
5231What am I to say? 5231 What am I to say?"
5231What are we to do? 5231 What are you thinking of, Felix?"
5231What brings you here, I wonder? 5231 What brought him here?"
5231What business is it of yours?
5231What business is that of yours?
5231What can I say, Miss Melmotte? 5231 What can be the objection?"
5231What can mamma do?
5231What can we do, my dear?
5231What can you want? 5231 What cat?"
5231What did I come for?
5231What did Marie Melmotte say to you?
5231What did he say, Dolly?
5231What did she say to me?
5231What did that matter? 5231 What did you say?"
5231What did you think of our bishop?
5231What difference does a house make?
5231What difference does that make?
5231What do I want?
5231What do you call wrong?
5231What do you care for?
5231What do you get then, by going into the city?
5231What do you mean by a dodge, Mr. Carbury? 5231 What do you mean by a large sum?"
5231What do you mean by found out?
5231What do you mean by paying for it, Julia?
5231What do you mean by that, Hetta? 5231 What do you mean by that?"
5231What do you mean by that?
5231What do you mean by that?
5231What do you mean?
5231What do you think I''m going to do with her?
5231What does he say, dear?
5231What does it matter to you if he''s eighty? 5231 What does it matter, Felix?"
5231What does it matter, if the money''s there?
5231What does it matter?
5231What does it matter?
5231What does it signify? 5231 What does she mean then?
5231What does that matter? 5231 What does the Squire want o''me?
5231What does the mother say?
5231What does your papa say? 5231 What guests?"
5231What had I better do?
5231What had we better do? 5231 What harm can it do you?"
5231What has become of the mill?
5231What has happened to him?
5231What has happened, Felix?
5231What has he said? 5231 What has his beauty brought him to?
5231What has she written to him for? 5231 What have you got to do with anybody''s watch?
5231What have you got to say?
5231What is going to happen, Melmotte?
5231What is he to do? 5231 What is it all about?"
5231What is it for, Felix?
5231What is it then? 5231 What is that?"
5231What is the good of all that, mamma?
5231What is the meaning of this, Felix? 5231 What is the worst of it?"
5231What is there against you?
5231What is there wicked in it? 5231 What is to be the end of it then?"
5231What is to be the end of it, Felix?
5231What is true, then? 5231 What is up?"
5231What made you so savage at old Melmotte to- day?
5231What makes you ask that?
5231What makes you ask? 5231 What makes you so uneasy?"
5231What makes you think that, Marie?
5231What man, Miss Carbury?
5231What money, my dear fellow? 5231 What money?"
5231What more can I say? 5231 What more do you want to know?
5231What must come to an end?
5231What must it have been to me then, who had nothing to do?
5231What on earth are we to do with them?
5231What on earth can be more natural than that you should go to your own cousin''s house?
5231What one thing?
5231What people?
5231What purpose?
5231What shall I say to her?
5231What shares?
5231What should they keep him in prison for?
5231What should you do?
5231What the Devil''s the use of it?
5231What the deuce do you mean?
5231What the deuce is Vossner about?
5231What the deuce is it to him?
5231What the devil does that matter?
5231What the mischief does he mean?
5231What truth? 5231 What will Hetta do?"
5231What will mamma say?
5231What woman?
5231What word? 5231 What word?"
5231What would Felix do in the country?
5231What would you have me say?
5231What''s all the love in the world, Ruby, if a man ca n''t do for you?
5231What''s all this about?
5231What''s all this about?
5231What''s hard? 5231 What''s letters?
5231What''s that to us if he has our money ready? 5231 What''s the good of talking about it?"
5231What''s the odds?
5231What''s the use of being beastly ill- natured? 5231 What''s the use of taking such a lot of trouble?"
5231What''s the use of that, if he is ruined?
5231What''s the use? 5231 What''s this I hear about a lady at Islington?"
5231What''s this about Felix?
5231What''s this? 5231 What''s up now?"
5231What''s up with the Governor?
5231What, Joe Mixet; is that thou? 5231 What; rob my own boy?"
5231What;--can there be more reason than that,--better reason than that? 5231 When and how was I to have helped myself?"
5231When is the proper day?
5231When may I hope for an answer?
5231When will I go? 5231 Where are the others?"
5231Where be she, Muster Ruggles?
5231Where did it come from?
5231Where did you get it?
5231Where do you suppose Sir Felix Carbury is now?
5231Where is he now, Lady Carbury;--at this moment?
5231Where is the money, Felix?
5231Where must we go? 5231 Where should I have been?"
5231Where should it come from but the''Breakfast Table''? 5231 Where the blessed angels have you been?"
5231Where the mischief is the jade gone?
5231Where would Madame Melmotte wish to go?
5231Where''s Sir Gregory?
5231Where''s the money to come from?
5231Where''s your family seat?
5231Whether you''ll accept me?
5231Who are they?
5231Who asks you?
5231Who began it?
5231Who cares for all Bungay,--a set of beery chaps as knows nothing but swilling and smoking;--and John Crumb the main of''em all? 5231 Who did then?
5231Who do you suppose was at our place yesterday?
5231Who do you think is in town?
5231Who do you think was at our place yesterday?
5231Who doubts that? 5231 Who got the cheque changed?"
5231Who has seen him alive? 5231 Who has thrashed him?"
5231Who has told you anything about a lady at Islington?
5231Who is she, Ruby?
5231Who is to say it?
5231Who is walking off?
5231Who is? 5231 Who pays for all these horses?"
5231Who rides them?
5231Who the d---- are you?
5231Who told you that? 5231 Who wants you to put up with it?"
5231Who wants''em to come here with their trash? 5231 Who was going to stop her?
5231Who was it, Ruby?
5231Who would have to put up with it? 5231 Who''s dead?"
5231Who''s throwing themselves into the gutter? 5231 Whoever wanted him to be put on?
5231Whom else should I mean? 5231 Whose fault was that?
5231Why ca n''t I regret him? 5231 Why ca n''t it be done?"
5231Why ca n''t you do it? 5231 Why did he go with you to Lowestoft?"
5231Why did he not bring it to you of his own accord?
5231Why did he spend such a lot of money?
5231Why did n''t he go, Lord Nidderdale?
5231Why did not Sir Felix go?
5231Why did you not take them?
5231Why did you not tell me before?
5231Why did you say that he was a-- butcher?
5231Why do n''t he do it then?
5231Why do n''t you come in, and not stand there?
5231Why do n''t you go? 5231 Why do n''t you speak, then?"
5231Why do you dare to tell me what I am to think? 5231 Why does he not come to me, or send to me; or let me know something?
5231Why mention this now, Mr. Brehgert; why mention this now? 5231 Why not send for John Crumb?"
5231Why not sign them? 5231 Why not to- night?"
5231Why not welcome, and he all one as your husband? 5231 Why not, mother?
5231Why not? 5231 Why not?
5231Why not? 5231 Why not?
5231Why not? 5231 Why not?
5231Why not? 5231 Why not?"
5231Why not?
5231Why not?
5231Why should Dolly marry such a creature as that?
5231Why should I be angry? 5231 Why should I frighten her?
5231Why should I have given my property up before I got my money? 5231 Why should I not mean it?
5231Why should I object to that? 5231 Why should John Crumb beat Felix like that?"
5231Why should a gentleman trouble himself to say any more,--than that he has changed his mind? 5231 Why should anybody beat him?
5231Why should he go? 5231 Why should he not?
5231Why should he?
5231Why should it be robbery? 5231 Why should it not be suitable?
5231Why should n''t I go to the Primeros?
5231Why should n''t I have something to say to you?
5231Why should n''t he like it?
5231Why should n''t he love her as well as any one else? 5231 Why should n''t he''go a thou,''and get the difference?"
5231Why should n''t they be as nice as anybody else? 5231 Why should n''t you be called upon?"
5231Why should n''t you be good?
5231Why should n''t you be one of them?
5231Why should not the bishop like to meet him? 5231 Why should she lie to me?
5231Why should we wait?
5231Why should you be sorry? 5231 Why should you grudge me the opportunity?"
5231Why should you say so?
5231Why should you want to see Miss Melmotte? 5231 Why so, mamma?"
5231Why will you not marry your cousin?
5231Will any fellow come up- stairs and play a game of billiards?
5231Will he be returned?
5231Will he go to London next year?
5231Will it be safe there?
5231Will that be a penance?
5231Will that be the best way?
5231Will the bishop like to meet him?
5231Will they never go up again?
5231Will you do this now,--to save us all from ruin?
5231Will you promise me?
5231Will you sign the papers?
5231Will you sign them now?
5231Will you?
5231Without even asking me?
5231Wo n''t Mr. Grendall pay it?
5231Wo n''t he rob you, old fellow?
5231Wo n''t that be jolly? 5231 Wo n''t what, aunt?"
5231Wo n''t your mother find out?
5231Would he be better abroad than here?
5231Would it not be better that you should leave her to become the wife of a man who is really fond of her?
5231Would n''t it?
5231Would ye now?
5231Would you then object to inform me the amount and nature of the income on which you intend to support your establishment as a married man? 5231 Would you?"
5231YOU KNOW WHY I HAVE COME DOWN HERE?
5231Ye ai n''t a''found her, Mr. Ruggles, ha''ye?
5231You ai n''t a meaning of it, master?
5231You ai n''t a''taken it amiss, squoire,''cause he was coosin to yourself?
5231You are going to risk it?
5231You are not in a hurry?
5231You are not plotting another journey to Liverpool;--are you?
5231You are the manager here in England?
5231You ca n''t have anything to say against it, miss; can you? 5231 You ca n''t help me?"
5231You could n''t let me have a couple of hundred;--could you, sir?
5231You could n''t speak to him, then?
5231You could n''t take any interest in me?
5231You did n''t ever go for to-- kiss her,--did you, Joe?
5231You did not know that he was to come?
5231You do care for me?
5231You do n''t mean,--never?
5231You do n''t suppose I wrote the letter?
5231You do n''t suppose that I wish to snub you?
5231You do n''t want me to sign the papers?
5231You do n''t, do n''t you? 5231 You do not give him any?"
5231You do not mean that Ruby has levanted? 5231 You do not think that it can have been very kind, do you?
5231You do not think?
5231You given up the''Pulpit''? 5231 You had n''t heard it?"
5231You have canvassed me between you?
5231You have got some?
5231You have heard, I suppose, of our projected scheme?
5231You have n''t frightened her?
5231You have n''t sold any shares;--have you?
5231You have n''t sold it?
5231You have n''t taken the money for it?
5231You have not been told about John Crumb? 5231 You have only one horse?"
5231You have to back that with a certain amount of paid- up capital?
5231You have told Mr. Montague that he is not to come here again?
5231You have told her of your love?
5231You have told the woman of the house?
5231You have?
5231You heard about Felix?
5231You here?
5231You know all about it then?
5231You know that, do n''t you, ma''am?
5231You know what has happened, Nidderdale?
5231You know what has happened?
5231You know what''s up now;--don''t you?
5231You know why I have come down here?
5231You mean about Felix,said Hetta,--"and mamma?"
5231You mean about marrying?
5231You mean to go on playing just the same?
5231You means you wo n''t have him?
5231You still believed him?
5231You think I''d give my girl to a gambler?
5231You think he has committed forgery?
5231You think he should marry the girl then in spite of the father?
5231You think him honest;--don''t you?
5231You think it is all over with the Melmottes?
5231You think the book has done pretty well?
5231You thought my letter very short; did you not?
5231You understand that; do n''t you?
5231You went to the party, then?
5231You will do that for old acquaintance sake?
5231You will not exact any penance?
5231You will not?
5231You will speak to papa; wo n''t you?
5231You will take me down, will you not? 5231 You would do evil to produce good?"
5231You would n''t go on playing with him?
5231You would n''t mind having it settled?
5231You wrote to her?
5231You''ll be there by that time?
5231You''ll see everything safe, eh, Croll?
5231You''ll see me as far as the Angel, wo n''t you?
5231You''ll stick to it?
5231You''ll try and get me the money, wo n''t you, Dolly?
5231You''re going in for that, are you, sir? 5231 You''re going to spend the evening with me like a good man?
5231You''re ready,--and willing?
5231You''re surprised; are you not?
5231You''re wishing to have the banns said without any more delay?
5231You''ve asked Miss Ruby to be your wife a dozen times;--haven''t you, John?
5231You''ve heard about it; have n''t you?
5231You''ve heard of young Mr. Goldsheiner, have n''t you?
5231Your aunt does not know?
5231Your friend was hardly civil; was he, Paul?
5231Your papa had a lawyer, I suppose?
5231Your son will not join you in selling the other place?
5231''s for me to- morrow;--could you?"
5231''s more than sufficient to meet anything I could lose when I sat down?"
5231A queen bred, born and married, and with such other queens around her, how could she have escaped to be guilty?
5231After all, why should he be a dog in the manger?
5231After having had the woman in his arms how could he undertake such inquiries as these?
5231After that his voice changed altogether, as he asked a question on another subject,"Can I see Henrietta to- morrow?"
5231After what you have heard, are the Melmottes people with whom you would wish to be connected?"
5231Ah,--when would he summon courage to enter the club again?
5231Ai n''t he fond o''you?
5231Ai n''t he got a house of his own?
5231Ai n''t he well to do all round?
5231Alf?"
5231Alf?"
5231All that she had done, and all that she had borne,--all that she was doing and bearing,--was it not for his sake?
5231Am I disgraced by that?"
5231Am I not good to you?
5231Am I not to think of my own son?
5231Am I to be so weak as to tell you now what I would have you say?
5231And I wonder whether you''d hate-- me?"
5231And as for freedom, has not freedom grown, almost every year, from that to this?"
5231And could n''t we have lodgings, so as to get away from Mr. Longestaffe''s house?"
5231And did n''t I make''em do as I chose?
5231And did you go to the play with her?"
5231And how had it come to pass that she in all her tenderness had rejected him when he had given her the chance of becoming his wife?
5231And how is a man to catch a quarter of an hour?
5231And how was it possible that he should have such belief?
5231And how was this to be done?
5231And how would the thing go if at the last moment the Emperor should be kept away?
5231And if I speak, what am I to say?
5231And if he had been against us would he not have said so?
5231And if she did, what matters?
5231And if so,--then why should he be any longer gracious to Melmotte?
5231And if their day for plunder had not yet come, why had Lord Alfred''s?
5231And if there was so much cause to fear Lord Alfred that it was necessary to throw him a bone, why should not they also make themselves feared?
5231And if, while this was a- doing, Felix would run away with Marie, could not forgiveness be made easy?
5231And it was along wi''the baro- nite she went?"
5231And might it not be possible that she had pressed him too hard?
5231And now how should he dispose of his time before he went?
5231And now where are you?
5231And now, sir, what else is there?
5231And of what use could it be to talk to a young man who was altogether callous and without feeling?
5231And she is an American?"
5231And that if I wanted anything you''d get it done for me;--didn''t you?"
5231And then as to their great Chairman, did not everybody know, in spite of all the duchesses, that Mr. Melmotte was a gigantic swindler?
5231And then how am I to know my own feelings so suddenly?
5231And they have made you believe I suppose that I have failed in getting back my property?"
5231And were there not policemen in London?
5231And what did her father and mother expect would become of her?
5231And what is it now?"
5231And what may you want?
5231And what must you be, to be here, in public, with such a one as she is?
5231And what was he to gain by it?
5231And what were they saying about Pickering?
5231And what would become of me when Dolly was master of everything?"
5231And what would it matter to you?
5231And what would then be left to her in life?
5231And what''d a grand gentleman see in Ruby to marry her?
5231And who am I with?
5231And who is that in the violet dress;--with all the pearls?"
5231And who knows but that this may be another"Robinson Crusoe,"--a better than"Tom Jones"?
5231And why have n''t you written me something and sent it to Didon?
5231And why not?"
5231And why should Carbury be there?
5231And yet did not her present acts justify him in thinking that she was carrying on a plot against him?
5231And yet how should he continue the struggle?
5231And you are going home to- morrow?"
5231And you have come because you love me; eh, Ruby?
5231And you told me you loved me;--didn''t you?
5231And, Felix;--what do you think?
5231And, Roger;--what is to be done about Hetta?"
5231And, heaven and earth, why should old Grendall be a Director?
5231And, if so, why should n''t he write and make his excuses?
5231And, indeed, to what clime could such a bird as he fly in safety?
5231And, now, who was to introduce him to the House?
5231And-- and--""Where should a Carbury go to escape from London smoke, but to the old house?
5231Annihilate himself as far as all personal happiness in the world was concerned, and look solely to their happiness, their prosperity, and their joys?
5231Are they here in this house, or in Grosvenor Square?"
5231Are you a liar?"
5231Are you always to be a burden on me and your sister?
5231Are you going back to Lowestoft?"
5231Are you going to dine here?"
5231Are you going to see me home?"
5231Are you sure he does not love me?"
5231As for comfort, when were we ever comfortable?
5231As it was so, could it be fit that she should marry another man?
5231As to danger;--who could think of danger in reference to money intrusted to the hands of Augustus Melmotte?
5231As to my knowledge of you and your affairs, if I think it sufficient, need you complain?
5231As to not coveting,--how is a man to cease to covet that which he has always coveted?
5231At ten o''clock he found his mother and Hetta in Welbeck Street--"What; Felix?"
5231Aunt Pipkin was n''t even an aunt; but who was Mrs. Hurtle?
5231Barham?"
5231Be I to say, sir, as you was here?"
5231Be as it were a beneficent old fairy to them, though the agony of his own disappointment should never depart from him?
5231Because money is given for a pious object of which you do not happen to approve, must it be a dodge?"
5231Besides, what does it all amount to?
5231Bideawhile?"
5231Brehgert?"
5231Brehgert?"
5231Buggins?"
5231But I feared,--""Feared what, Lady Carbury?"
5231But coming on you by accident, as I did, how am I not to speak to you?
5231But did he say that I was to be told that he did not love me?"
5231But did they tell you also that it was thus alone that I could save myself,--and that had I spared him, I must afterwards have destroyed myself?
5231But do n''t you think that kind of thing is a little slow?"
5231But even if he had spent the money, why was he not man enough to come and say so?
5231But he''s heir to a place down in Suffolk;--eh?"
5231But how about she and the Baro- nite?"
5231But how could she be guided by a lover whom she did not love?
5231But how did he get it before you?
5231But how different were the existing facts?
5231But how is a man to give sufficient thought to his affairs when no step that he takes can be other than ruinous?
5231But how is she, poor thing, to talk to royal blood?"
5231But how then would it be with poor Felix?
5231But how was he to tell the facts?
5231But how was she to find out whether it was true?
5231But how was this to go on?
5231But if a woman finds that men only take advantage of her assumed weakness, shall she not throw it off?
5231But if, with all this, Roger could not prevail, why should he not try?
5231But immersed as she was here at Caversham, how could she strike at all?
5231But it wo n''t do to go on like that, you know,--will it?
5231But it''s all over?"
5231But of all my friends--""Am I among the number, Miss Carbury?"
5231But of what avail were such regrets as these?
5231But oh, Hetta;--what am I to do with him?
5231But should n''t we stay till something has been done here?
5231But then how could he do this without a belief in the railway generally?
5231But then if he did not play with him, where should he find another gambling table?
5231But then if she wrote the letter there would be no retreat,--and how should she face her family after such a declaration?
5231But then might it not be possible that if he presented the cheque himself he might be arrested for stealing Melmotte''s money?
5231But then, might not that only be a threat?
5231But then, perhaps, you know, if you or I were in China we should n''t have much to say for ourselves;--eh?"
5231But then,--as she had asked,--why should not a divorce for the purpose in hand be considered as good as a death?
5231But was that to be sufficient for him,--so that he might now feel inwardly satisfied at leaving her, and make no further inquiry as to her fate?
5231But what am I to do?
5231But what amount of brandy and water would have enabled him to persevere, could he have dreamed that John Crumb was near him?
5231But what chance was there of success for him?
5231But what compensation can be given, or what retribution can you exact?
5231But what could I do?"
5231But what could he do?
5231But what fewest number of words might be supposed sufficient to fill a page?
5231But what good can I do them?
5231But what harm could the telling of such a secret do him?
5231But what hope could there be for him if he should take to drink?
5231But what is it, Mr. Beauclerk?
5231But what is to be the end of it?
5231But what matters?
5231But what of him?"
5231But what of that?
5231But what should he do now?
5231But what should he do?
5231But what vengeance was possible to her?
5231But what was he to do now?
5231But what was she that a man should give up everything and go away and spend his days in some half- barbarous country for her alone?
5231But what was she to do with herself?
5231But what was she to do?
5231But what was to be done in reference to poor Roger?
5231But what was to come next?
5231But what''ll I do, if everybody turns again me?
5231But when a woman has no one to help her, is she to bear everything without turning upon those who ill- use her?
5231But when she did come, was he to have refused to see her?
5231But when the evening should be over, how would he part with her?
5231But when will you be married?"
5231But where am I to go for happiness and joy?
5231But where was he to turn, and what was he to do with himself?
5231But who were to be the two hundred?
5231But who would run away with her without money?
5231But why had he, so unrighteous himself, not made friends to himself of the Mammon of unrighteousness?
5231But why should his friend be a dog in the manger?
5231But why should n''t we as well as the others?"
5231But why was Mr. Booker there?
5231But would it not be equally a matter of course that he should make the best of the marriage if it were once effected?
5231But would it not be right that it should be told?
5231But you will go from me to her, and then will you not be happy?
5231But, Lord love''ee, she shall come and be missus of my house to- morrow, and what''ll it matter her then what they say?
5231But, after what had occurred, was I to refuse to see her when she came to England to see me?
5231But, if he acknowledged this,--and he did acknowledge it,--in what fashion should he in future treat the man and woman who had reduced him so low?
5231But, mamma, what does it matter?
5231But, squoire,--did ye hear if the Baro- nite had been a''hanging about that place?"
5231But,--if he does n''t love me, what am I to do then?"
5231But-- isn''t it a story that-- concerns me?"
5231By- the- bye, is he a friend of yours?"
5231Ca n''t we make a match of it, Miss Melmotte?"
5231Ca n''t you understand, now, how important it may be?"
5231Ca n''t you wait till I am ready to say something?"
5231Can I see Henrietta for a few minutes?"
5231Can anybody who pleases walk into my hall?"
5231Can it be so?
5231Can not you sympathize with my anxiety so to place him that he shall not be a disgrace to the name and to the family?"
5231Can not you understand that when she came here, following me, I could not desert her?"
5231Can you be surprised that I should be always thinking of my lover?
5231Can you let me have the money?"
5231Can you understand what it is to have to live only on retrospects?"
5231Can you wonder that I want to have a friend?
5231Carbury?"
5231Carbury?"
5231Carbury?"
5231Could any mere letter of your writing break the bond by which we were bound together?
5231Could anything be so false, so weak, so malignant, so useless, so wicked, so self- condemned,--in fact, so"Liberal"as a course of action such as this?
5231Could anything betray so bad a cause as contradictions such as these?
5231Could he get at the truth of that story?
5231Could he pass on and let her be as the wine that has been drunk,--as the hour that has been enjoyed,--as the day that is past?
5231Could he, by any training, bring himself to take her happiness in hand, altogether sacrificing his own?
5231Could it be possible that he and John Crumb were of the same order of human beings?
5231Could it be possible that the man did not know that all the world was united in accusing him of forgery?
5231Could it be right that she should marry at all, for the sake of doing good to her family?
5231Could it be right that she should marry one man when she loved another?
5231Could it be that now at last real peace should be within her reach, and that tranquillity which comes from an anchor holding to a firm bottom?
5231Could it be that she would never see him again;--that she would dance no more in that gilded bright saloon?
5231Could it be true that his constancy was such that he would never marry unless she would take his hand?
5231Could it really be that she meant to leave his house in anger and to take her daughter with her?
5231Could n''t he draw it a little milder?"
5231Could she really have thought that he was attending to his own possible future interests when he warned her as to the making of new acquaintances?
5231Croll?"
5231Crumb?"
5231Crumb?"
5231Crumb?"
5231Crumb?"
5231D''ye think she''s see''d the Baro- nite since she''s been in Lon''on, Muster Carbury?"
5231D''ye think, ma''am, it''s the dancing she''s after, or the baro- nite?"
5231D''you think we''re all going to smash there because a fool like Melmotte blows his brains out in London?"
5231DEAREST FELIX, Why do n''t we see you?
5231Did Croll know of these rumours, and if so, what did he think of them?
5231Did I conceal from you the character of my former husband?
5231Did I ever interfere wi''him?
5231Did I ever make you a gift of it?"
5231Did I ever refuse to answer you?
5231Did I not conquer you, sir, by being gentle and gracious to you?
5231Did I not tell you that he was a drunkard and a scoundrel?
5231Did I?
5231Did I?"
5231Did Julia Triplex love that man with the large fortune?
5231Did Mr. Longestaffe want to see Mr. Melmotte?
5231Did any of the Carburys send you here?
5231Did anybody mean to take her up for stealing anybody''s money?
5231Did he do anything?"
5231Did he mean to deny that he had promised to marry her?
5231Did he mean to marry Ruby?
5231Did he never love me,--once?"
5231Did he not promise, mamma?"
5231Did it matter much that Brehgert and Croll both knew the crime which he had committed?
5231Did n''t I make him go on my business?
5231Did n''t I teach''em a lesson to- night,--eh?
5231Did n''t he lie in bed on Sunday instead of going to church?"
5231Did n''t he throw his cigar on the path?
5231Did n''t she have no dinner here?"
5231Did n''t ye give him a promise?"
5231Did n''t you say so as plain as the nose on my face?"
5231Did n''t you think so at Caversham?
5231Did she go?"
5231Did you ever hear of such a thing;--the very house pulled down;--my house; and all done without a word from me in the matter?
5231Did you get your business done at Liverpool?"
5231Did you have any adventures?"
5231Did you not see it, mamma?
5231Do I not deserve some thanks for what I did?
5231Do I not try to be a comfort to you?"
5231Do n''t you know whether he does love me?
5231Do n''t you remember the blowsy fat woman at the top of the stairs;--a regular horror?"
5231Do n''t you think it very nice, Lady Carbury?"
5231Do n''t you think that if a girl loves a man,--really loves him,--that ought to go before everything?"
5231Do n''t you think we might fix a day, Marie?"
5231Do n''t''e smell it?"
5231Do not you think he ought to send me word?"
5231Do they pay anything?"
5231Do they say here that he is not honest?"
5231Do you doubt me?"
5231Do you ever read the Bible, Carbury?"
5231Do you know Mrs. Hurtle, sir?"
5231Do you know him?
5231Do you live in London, ma''am?"
5231Do you mean money?
5231Do you mean money?
5231Do you mean to give them that?"
5231Do you mean to marry her?"
5231Do you not love me?"
5231Do you not suppose that in thinking of you I have often thought of daggers?
5231Do you not wish for, nay, almost demand, instant pardon for any trespass that you may commit,--of temper, or manner, for instance?
5231Do you purpose that your mother should keep you and clothe you for the rest of your life?"
5231Do you really in your heart believe that he means to come back to you?"
5231Do you recollect telling me about that blue scarf of mine, that I should never wear blue?"
5231Do you remember how urgent were once your own prayers to me;--how you swore that your happiness could only be secured by one word of mine?
5231Do you see much of what you call love around you?
5231Do you suppose that the sight of that dying wretch does not haunt me?
5231Do you think Fisker''d ask me to marry him if I had n''t got anything?
5231Do you think Melmotte''s all right?"
5231Do you think he asked her?"
5231Do you think he would be wrong?"
5231Do you think he''d injure you if he could?
5231Do you understand?"
5231Do you want a little money?"
5231Do you wish to be looked upon as a blackguard by all the world?"
5231Do your people really go to Southend and fancy that that is the sea?"
5231Does anybody know anything of that fellow Melmotte?"
5231Does he go every day?"
5231Does he love me, Miss Carbury?
5231Does he mean me to live here for ever and ever?"
5231Does he say so?
5231Does not every one know that a director of a company need not direct unless he pleases?
5231Does not the law make a woman free here to marry again,--and why not with us?
5231Does she think that you intend to marry her?"
5231Does she?"
5231Does that girl mean to marry Lord Nidderdale?"
5231Eh?"
5231Everybody goes out of town at Whitsuntide; and why should n''t we run down to the family place?"
5231Felix is handsome; is n''t he?
5231Felix, will you come?"
5231Felix, you love me;--do you not?"
5231Fisker?"
5231Fisker?"
5231Fisker?"
5231Fisker?"
5231For what purpose would you have it?
5231Grendall was a big man; and where would he be if there should be no card there?
5231Grendall?"
5231Had Mr. Longestaffe seen the"Morning Breakfast Table"?
5231Had Paul so talked about her that this young scamp should know all her story?
5231Had he not allowed himself to be terrified by shadows?
5231Had he not paid his subscription in advance?
5231Had not her whole life been opposed to the theory of such passive endurance?
5231Had not she herself found that all men liked their own way?
5231Had not the distance between us seemed to have made you safe would you have dared to write that letter?
5231Had she not always been dominant over her mother and sister?
5231Had you a lot of ready money with you to pay if you had lost it?
5231Had you not better speak to me openly?"
5231Had you told him you were to be here?"
5231Half past eleven; is it?
5231Has Miss Carbury pardoned you as yet?
5231Has Roger told you?"
5231Has he any money beyond what you give him?"
5231Has he authority over you?"
5231Has he gone down to Carbury?"
5231Has he said that he got it by-- playing?"
5231Has she forgiven your sins?"
5231Has she gone with any one?"
5231Has she money?--or rank?
5231Has she no regard for her own character?"
5231Has your mother spoken to you about your jewels?
5231Has your son told you anything about money?"
5231Have I been able to love?
5231Have I been uncivil that you should treat me in this fashion?"
5231Have I usually said bitter things to you?
5231Have n''t you got a home to live in, and clothes to wear, and a carriage to go about in,--and books to read if you choose to read them?
5231Have n''t you?
5231Have you a word to say to comfort me?"
5231Have you asked yourself that?
5231Have you given a promise to this lady also?"
5231Have you heard any sum named, sir?"
5231Have you no feeling that you ought to choose your friends for certain reasons of your own?
5231Have you no idea of disgrace?"
5231Have you seen Sir Felix Carbury since you''ve been in town?"
5231Have you seen the Lord Mayor?"
5231Have you told him that you will see him no more?"
5231Have you written to your mother?"
5231He could not now go to Roger Carbury for advice; for was not Roger Carbury his rival?
5231He could not say that she had not washed herself clean;--and yet, from the story as told by herself, what man would wish to marry her?
5231He had thrashed his rival, and what cause could there now be for delay?
5231He has been here, and I have told him--""You have not accepted him?"
5231He is a great man;--a Frenchman, is he not?
5231He is awfully rich, is n''t he?"
5231He is handsome; is n''t he?
5231He might have done better; but how many young men placed in such temptations do well?
5231He was here, I suppose?"
5231How am I to get at you if I want anything?"
5231How am I to know what he does?
5231How am I to know what you are really after?"
5231How am I to see anybody down here in this horrid hole?
5231How are things going on here?"
5231How are we to stay?
5231How can I make that?"
5231How can you say such hard words?
5231How can you suppose that I shall give my girl to you?"
5231How could I have known?"
5231How could I refuse such a prospect as you offer me without much thought?
5231How could Sir Felix tell the truth about that rash encounter?
5231How could a conscientious Editor of a"Morning Breakfast Table,"seeing how things were going, do other than support Mr. Melmotte?
5231How could a man so great endure a partnership with one so small as Paul Montague?
5231How could he be justified in whispering suspicions to the man who was known to be at any rate one of the competitors for Marie Melmotte''s hand?
5231How could he kiss his future bride, with his nose bound up with a bandage?
5231How could it have been otherwise?
5231How could she believe him?
5231How could she not quarrel with him?
5231How could she refrain from telling him that everything must be over between them?
5231How did a fellow manage before, if he had n''t got it?"
5231How did he die?"
5231How did you dare to kiss me, knowing that it was on your tongue to tell me I was to be cast aside?
5231How did you get home?
5231How do you like it?"
5231How do you mean to live if you do n''t marry this girl?"
5231How do you think it would be with Felix Carbury, if they two were in a room together and nobody else by?"
5231How else should he have it?
5231How else?"
5231How is a fellow to know?
5231How is a man of your age to speak with certainty of what he will do or what he will not do in that respect?
5231How is a man who sits in parliament himself ever to pretend to discuss the doings of parliament with impartiality?
5231How is a person to resolve?
5231How is a young woman to put up with that?
5231How is any fellow to stand that kind of thing?
5231How is it possible you should marry him?
5231How is your son?
5231How long, do you think, should a man be known in this city before that title be accorded to him?
5231How much has Lord Alfred put into it?"
5231How often before I consented?"
5231How ought she to behave herself?
5231How should I dislike people that I never saw?
5231How should I like it?
5231How should I not quarrel with such a one?
5231How should I?"
5231How should any one know anything from a liar?
5231How should it have been so with her?
5231How should you like to be shut up down at Caversham all the season?"
5231How so?"
5231How soon might he want it again?
5231How the devil should he?"
5231How then could he yield?
5231How was I not to tell him when he asked me whether I-- loved him?"
5231How was I to love you when I had seen so little of you?
5231How was any girl to live in this world who could not be taught the folly of such idle dreams?
5231How was he now to back out of his intimacy with the Melmottes generally?
5231How was it that he-- died?"
5231How was she to tell him that the cup of water never could have touched his lips?
5231How would he pay, were he to lose?"
5231How would her future life go with her, should she now make up her mind to retire from the proposed alliance?
5231How would it affect Felix and her together,--and Mr. Broune as connected with her and Felix?
5231How would the brother of the Sun like the remembrance of the banquet which he had been instructed to honour with his presence?
5231How would things go with him?--What would be the end of it?
5231How would this new life suit him?
5231How would you like it if I said that Sir Damask was like a hair- dresser?"
5231How would you like to be in some place where they would n''t let you move?"
5231Hurtle?"
5231Hurtle?"
5231Hurtle?"
5231Hurtle?"
5231Hurtle?"
5231Hurtle?"
5231I fear it will be rather bad for you;--won''t it?"
5231I have striven so hard to be proper; but when girls read everything, why should not an old woman write anything?
5231I may call you Felix now;--mayn''t I?"
5231I suppose I''d better be down at the committee- room about ten to- morrow?"
5231I suppose he is on very intimate terms with you?"
5231I suppose the whole thing is over?"
5231I suppose there is a bishop, is n''t there, Alfred?"
5231I suppose you have some money?"
5231I thought you hated the Melmottes?"
5231I wo n''t agree to that;--would you?"
5231I wonder whether it''ll be the same with you?"
5231I wonder whether you are glad to see me?"
5231I wonder whether you can let me have twenty pounds?"
5231I''ve never been above telling you what a godsend you''ve been to me this summer;--have I?
5231If I can dare to do it, why ca n''t he?"
5231If I can venture, can not he?"
5231If I did n''t love you why should I be here walking round this stupid place?
5231If I do n''t marry what''s to become of me?
5231If I was to twist his neck, ma''am, would you take it on yourself to say as I was wrong?"
5231If I was to wring his neck round, you would n''t say as how I was wrong; would ye, now?"
5231If I were wrong, why did they not try me for his murder?
5231If I write to him you will believe what he says?"
5231If I''m to belong to you what does it matter?
5231If Lord Alfred Grendall was entitled to plunder, why were not they?
5231If Melmotte and Alf could be brought together what might they not do?
5231If Melmotte were so great a man why did n''t he pay the money, and why should he have mortgaged the property before it was really his own?
5231If Paul Montague has robbed me of my love--?"
5231If Sir Felix did not appear again, what should she do?
5231If any fellow writes D. Longestaffe, am I obliged to pay it?
5231If as you say it will not have any lasting effect, could you not manage to have a house in town?
5231If he and she could be together in some country in which those stories of her past life would be matter of indifference, could she not make him happy?
5231If he wants to save money why does n''t he shut Caversham up altogether and go abroad?
5231If it has been so, who is to blame him?"
5231If it was only dinner, would n''t she be back afore this, ma''am?"
5231If one has to be hung on a given day, would it not be well to be hung as soon after waking as possible?
5231If papa has n''t got money to live at home, why does n''t he go abroad for a year?
5231If she be treated as prey, shall she not fight as a beast of prey?
5231If she could contrive to throw herself out of the carriage and to be killed,--would not that be the best termination to her present disappointment?
5231If she did not defend him, who would?
5231If the duchesses condoned it all, did it become her to be prudish?
5231If the lover was what he ought to be, had he not better come and see her?
5231If there was not much in it, if such a man as Miles Grendall could cheat at cards and be brought to no punishment, why should not he try it?
5231If this other man is a villain am I not bound to protect you?
5231If this should not succeed, what are you to do?
5231If we are to remain here at Caversham, how am I to hope ever to get settled?"
5231If you give your cloak to him who steals your coat, how long will it be before your shirt and trousers will go also?
5231If you turn up your nose at one woman after another how do you mean to live?"
5231If you were once married to John Crumb, would any one then pull you by the hairs of your head?
5231If you will not trust me, how am I to live with you as though you did?
5231If you would wish to dance why wo n''t you dance with me?"
5231If you''ll write that letter here now--""What;--to Marie?"
5231In what little you see around you do you think that girls are generally able to marry the men upon whom they set their hearts?"
5231In what shape will he bring it?
5231In what words was he to answer such a letter?
5231Is Cromer pretty?"
5231Is a girl to be debarred from being loved because she has money?
5231Is any one going with you?"
5231Is he not engaged to the woman?"
5231Is he not to be dearer to me than any one?
5231Is he to be allowed to ruin you, and Hetta?
5231Is it about my money?
5231Is it all to be over then?
5231Is it because I protected myself from drunken violence that I am to be rejected?
5231Is it because they are none of them coming up?"
5231Is it not enough to drive me mad to be going about here by myself, without any prospect of anything?
5231Is it not so?
5231Is it not so?
5231Is it not so?"
5231Is it not so?"
5231Is it not true that he is even now living with an American woman whom he has promised to marry?"
5231Is it so?
5231Is it true that he has promised to marry her?
5231Is it true they are going to have him before the Lord Mayor about the Pickering title- deeds?"
5231Is n''t that a grand idea, Roger?"
5231Is n''t that strange?
5231Is not that about it?"
5231Is not that it?
5231Is not that it?"
5231Is not that mean?"
5231Is not that odd?
5231Is she really fond of you?
5231Is she very partial, ma''am, to that young baro- nite?"
5231Is that Prince Frederic, who told you about the hay?
5231Is that brandy you''re drinking, Nidderdale?
5231Is that so?"
5231Is that sufficient reason for you to go to a man''s house?
5231Is that unnatural?
5231Is there an hotel?"
5231Is there another woman that you love?"
5231Is there anything said there which the usage to which I have been subjected does not justify?"
5231Is there no other place,--except Southend?"
5231Is there no subject in the world to interest you except that wretched young man?"
5231Is there not another place to which we are told that a great many are going, simply because the road has become thronged and fashionable?
5231Is there nothing else?"
5231Is this the man to be Conservative member for Westminster?"
5231Is your friend going to do us the honour of coming to us to- morrow night?"
5231It is a poor time we women have,--is it not,--in becoming playthings to men?
5231It is cruel, is it not?
5231It is n''t right; is it, ma''am?
5231It looks very odd; does it not?"
5231It may be as you say, but how is one to tell?
5231It may be that you do not believe me now; but if so, are you not bound to go where you can verify your own doubts or my word?
5231It was a bad thing to do;--wasn''t it, Ruby?"
5231It will be so, and why should not Felix have the advantage?"
5231It''s a great institution; is n''t it?"
5231It''s all very well saying that it is n''t right, but what are we to do about Alfred''s children?
5231Leadham?"
5231Leadham?"
5231Let me see,--what is the name?"
5231Look here;--will you have this back?"
5231May I be permitted to ask whether-- you have any business with my daughter?"
5231May I bring him if I can?"
5231May I not ask you to lay aside your veil, so that we may look at each other fairly?"
5231Melmotte could support the whole family in affluence without feeling the burden;--and why should he not?
5231Melmotte has promised to pay the money on Friday, has he?"
5231Melmotte waited awhile, then looked round again, and asked the question in another shape:"Has n''t there been some mistake about the numbers?
5231Melmotte?"
5231Melmotte?"
5231Melmotte?"
5231Melmotte?"
5231Melmotte?"
5231Melmotte?"
5231Might he not be persuaded to do one act of real friendship?
5231Might it not be that the fact that these great ones of the earth had been his guests should speak in his favour?
5231Might it still be possible that a plain tale sent by post should have sufficient efficacy?
5231Miles, is n''t Mr. Goldsheiner waiting to see me?"
5231Montague?"
5231Montague?"
5231Montague?"
5231Montague?"
5231Montague?"
5231Montague?"
5231Mr. Melmotte had no doubt endeavoured to catch this and that lord; but, failing a lord, why should he not content himself with a baronet?
5231Never?"
5231Now tell me;--what can I do, or what can I say?"
5231Now the Lord Mayor had set his face against it, and what was to be done?
5231Now, Mr. Montague, what can I do for you?"
5231Now, at last, should she succumb and be trodden on like a worm?
5231Of course she looks to be married, and why should she not have Felix if she likes him best?
5231Of course sooner or later some man must come with a thunderbolt,--and why not Croll as well as another?
5231Of course you will be married at Carbury?"
5231Of what nature could be a Company which should have itself directed by such men as Lord Alfred Grendall and Sir Felix Carbury?
5231Oh, Felix, how will it be if he does not forgive her?"
5231Oh, Hetta, what am I to do?
5231Oh, heavens;--was Mr. Brehgert with his two houses worth all this?
5231Oh, mamma, how can you propose it?
5231Oh, papa, why did n''t you let me marry that other man?"
5231Oh; this is Abchurch Lane, is it?
5231Oh;--I was proposing that you should go out to Pekin?"
5231On what principle of justice could Sir Felix come between him and another man?
5231On whose arm could she lean for some support at this terrible time?
5231Only, who''s to bell the cat?"
5231Or am I to understand that you suppose yourself to have said all that is required of you?
5231Or are you so ashamed of it, that the words stick in your throat?"
5231Or is it that you are afraid to have by your side a woman who can speak for herself,--and even act for herself if some action be necessary?
5231Papa, is there something going to happen?"
5231Paul, you are in some degree responsible,--are you not,--for my loneliness?"
5231Perhaps you had better see him yourself; or would your mother?
5231Pipkin?"
5231Pipkin?"
5231Pipkin?"
5231Pipkin?"
5231Please, sir, is Sir Felix still in London?"
5231Roger, is he unworthy?"
5231Shall I tell him as I''m with you?"
5231Shall I tell you what I think?
5231Shall a woman be flayed alive because it is unfeminine in her to fight for her own skin?
5231Shall you tell Madame Melmotte?"
5231She had been the same to him as a child, and what would people say of him if he allowed her to depart from him after this fashion?
5231She had forgiven him, and what more was there to be said?
5231She must come some time, must n''t she?"
5231She would have preferred not to have been kissed;--but what did it matter?
5231She would have to encounter an enraged father; and when,--when should she see her lover again?
5231Should he abandon Marie Melmotte altogether, never go to Grosvenor Square again, and drop the whole family, including the Great Mexican Railway?
5231Should he do this, and be blessed by them,--or should he let Paul Montague know what deep resentment such ingratitude could produce?
5231Should he not rush down to Liverpool, and ask a few more questions of Mr. Ramsbottom?
5231Should he still make the journey?
5231Should he tell his mother that he was going?
5231Should she be weaker even than an English girl?
5231Should she meet him at the railway station?
5231Should she never know rest;--never have one draught of cool water between her lips?
5231Should she take Mr. Alf into her entire confidence?
5231Should you have liked at my age to have felt that you had no chance of having a house of your own to live in?
5231So John Crumb''s afraid of bogies;--is he?
5231So she has given you a promise?"
5231Stoopid, is it?
5231TWENTY POUNDS?"
5231Tell me,--you must know,--does he really care for me?"
5231Tell me;--did he tell you to say that he did not love me?"
5231Tell me;--is there any reason why he should not also have my hand?"
5231That is to be all, and you think that fair?
5231That suits your own mind, and leaves no sore spot in your heart?
5231That''ll be a poke in the ribs for the old boy;--eh, Croll?"
5231The chief thing will be a cheque for the expenses; eh?
5231The dinner went off pretty well yesterday, eh?"
5231The letter was as follows:-- MY DEAR FATHER,-- Can it be true that Georgey is thinking of marrying that horrid vulgar Jew, old Brehgert?
5231The long and the short of it is this;--if I give up my engagement, will he take us abroad for a year?"
5231The thing is;--will it last?"
5231The time must come, and why not now as well as at any future moment?
5231Then I must give him up?
5231Then what should be the name of her novel; what the name of her hero; and above all what the name of her heroine?
5231Then when a panic comes, do n''t you see how it hits?"
5231Then, directly it''s done, and when we get to New York, we''ll telegraph and write to papa, and we''ll be ever so penitent and good; wo n''t we?
5231Then, would it not be best that he should take the Chairman''s offer as to his own money?
5231There is such a woman?"
5231There was n''t any noise about it;--was there?"
5231There''s nothing else for it; is there, Squercum?"
5231They could never be married now;--could they, mamma?"
5231Though she could not be made happy in England, might not a prosperous life be opened for him in the far West?
5231Though they should put him on his trial for forgery, what of that?
5231To prove my weakness?
5231Vy did the Lord Mayor stay away, Melmotte?"
5231WHICH SHALL IT BE?
5231WHICH SHALL IT BE?
5231Was I not bound to go to her?"
5231Was I not justified?
5231Was he not Mr. Longestaffe of Caversham, a Deputy- Lieutenant of his County, and accustomed to lunch punctually at two o''clock?
5231Was he not a baronet, and a gentleman, and a very handsome fellow, and a man of the world who had been in a crack regiment?
5231Was he not the man who, at his own cost, had entertained the Emperor of China?
5231Was he to do nothing for her now?
5231Was it because he had praised the Prime Minister''s translation of Catullus?
5231Was it not a career enough for any woman to be the wife of such a man, to receive his friends, and to shine with his reflected glory?
5231Was it not her own father?
5231Was it not his duty, as a man, to tell everything to herself?
5231Was it not marvellous that such a thing should be?
5231Was it not so?"
5231Was it thus that he was to part with the one human being in the world that he loved?
5231Was n''t it now?"
