11667And how are you going to fill your hole with water when you get it dug out?

11667James, what good do you expect to get by climbing up that tree, when you know there is nothing on it, not even a bird''s nest?
11667Louisa,said the mother,"do you see that tree with the pretty flowers at the foot of it?"
11667Mother,asks Johnny,"what makes it snow?"
11667No matter which of us is most to blame?
11667Oh no,rejoined her mother,"why do you wish Sarah to go?
11667Then why are you going home?

11667What do you propose to do with the earth that you take out of the hole?

11667What makes you alter your mind?
11667What things?
11667Where shall we find one?

11667After reflecting on this idea a moment, he asks, we will suppose,"How high in the sky, mother?"
11667And how did they make you?--They made me in a machine.--In a machine?
11667And now what can I get for you to amuse you while you stay in the house with me?"
11667At length, when he has familiarized himself with this idea, he asks again, perhaps,"Where do the flakes come from, mother?"
11667But why should she not be afraid of a cow?
11667Do n''t you know better than to slam the doer in that way when you come in?
11667Do you see it?
11667Do you see that fence away forward?
11667Do you see that large flat stone out there at the turn of the road?
11667Do you suppose he sang the song for us?"
11667Half an hour passed quietly, and then a timid voice at the foot of the stairs called out:"''Mamma, are you there?''
11667His aunt then stopped, hesitatingly, and said,"How would it do to go back and help that boy disentangle his kite- string?
11667How did they make you in the machine?
11667How should we manage about that?"
11667May I run and catch him?"
11667Or, in the spirit of the foregoing suggestions, you may say,"Did the pin prick you?
11667Presently Johnny asks again,"Mother,_ how_ does the sun make the rainbow?"
11667She may say,"Mary, will you please to leave your doll and take this letter for me into the library to your father?"
11667So you will be a good girl, I know, and not make any trouble, but will stay at home contentedly-- won''t you?
11667Then, turning to Jane, she asked, in a somewhat altered tone,"Has she been a good girl, Jane?"
11667Then, turning to the children, she asks, in a confidential undertone,"Do they ever get into disputes and quarrels?"

11667WHAT ARE GENTLE MEASURES?

11667What is there_ in_ your hole, bunny?--My nest is there, and my little bunnies.--How many little bunnies have you got?''"
11667What makes it so?"
11667When, therefore, a child asks,"May I do this?"
11667Who sits next to you at school?--George Williams.--George Williams?
11667Why ca n''t you come and walk quietly along the path, like a sensible person?"
11667Why ca n''t you, when you get a good seat, sit still in it?"
11667Will they enjoy it?
11667Will they succeed in it?
11667Would I like to do it if I were they?--but simply, Is there any harm or danger in it?
11667Would n''t you like a pillow, kitty?
11667Would you like to go and sit in his sick- room to show your love for him, and to be ready to help him if he wants any thing?"

10335The rights of the child, madame?
10335Again, what possible harm can there be in sometimes giving reasons for commands, when they are such as the child would appreciate?
10335Am I not tempted to withhold my help from my weak brother across the way, lest my assistance place him on an equality with me?
10335And does it not seem hard to you, That when the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, I have to go to bed by day?"
10335And now, after the story is well selected, how long shall it be?
10335And sun thee in the light of happy faces?
10335Bitter reproaches were heaped upon the mother, for were there not enough women already on the earth?
10335But Lor'', mum, if we do n''t, they_ take_''em, so what''s the odds?"
10335But what is this merry group doing in the farther corner?
10335But what''s this?
10335CONTENTS THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD CHILDREN''S PLAYS CHILDREN''S PLAYTHINGS WHAT SHALL CHILDREN READ?
10335Can they intend to take it up on the flat roof, where we have lately suspected a nest?
10335Can we imagine that as written about one of these modern monstrosities with eyeglasses and corsets and vinaigrettes?
10335Could anything be more deliciously real than these verses?
10335Did you ever think how many people there are who"having eyes, see not"?
10335Do they make none, under the impression, correct in a low state of culture, that dolls for children become idols for men?
10335HOW SHALL WE GOVERN OUR CHILDREN?
10335Have you ever found pain an assistance to the memory?
10335How can I have any Christian fellowship with a man when I am envying him his successes and grudging him his honors?
10335How can we make them distinctly serviceable, filling the difficult and well- nigh impossible_ rôle_ of"useful as well as ornamental"?
10335How is he to know which of these offenses is the greatest, if all have received the same punishment?
10335How should parents hope to escape the universal interrogation point leveled at everything else?
10335If dirt is misplaced matter, then what do you call a child who sits eternally on the curbstones and in the gutters of our tenement- house districts?
10335If the child love not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
10335In such an hour I suddenly said,"Josephus, will you be the father this time?"
10335Is it a touch of self- pity that the radiant visions of our childhood days have been dispelled, and the years have brought the"inevitable yoke"?
10335Is it not sometimes given in anger, also, when the culprit clearly sees it to be disproportionate to the crime?
10335Is it possible that fathers, too, are in any danger of decline?
10335Is it strange that we find the moral sense blunted, the conscience unenlightened?
10335Is it the perfect self- forgetfulness of the children?
10335Is it"that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin"?
10335Is the class room somewhat bare and colorless?
10335Is there not some little invalid who would greatly prize a book of dainty pictures, embroidered, drawn, and painted by her child- friends?
10335Last of all, brought out only on state occasions, was a most seductive edition of that nursery Gaboriau,"Who Killed Cock Robin?"
10335May we not question whether we are not frequently too exacting with children,--too much given to fault- finding?
10335OTHER PEOPLE''S CHILDREN"Where is thy brother Abel?"
10335One can never watch a circle of children going through the vulgar inanities of"Jenny O''Jones,""Say, daughter, will you get up?"
10335Or is it the touching sight of so much happiness contrasted with what we know the home life to be?
10335Some one perhaps will say here, the knowledge of cruelty and sin must come some time to the child; then why shield him from it now?
10335That sounds very well; but, as a matter of fact, has our past system produced all the results in this direction that we have hoped and prayed for?
10335The magic of"Together"has thus far reached, and who can tell what Happy Valley, what fair Land of Beulah, it may summon into existence in the future?
10335The question is frequently asked, Can not the best things of the kindergarten be introduced in the primary departments of the public school?
10335The still small voice is forever saying,"Where is thy brother Abel?"
10335The world has done so much for him, what can he do for the world?
10335This reading and writing, what is it, after all, but the signs for things and thoughts?
10335To what can we appeal, then, in children, as motives to goodness, as aids in the formation of right habits of thought and action?
10335WHAT SHALL CHILDREN READ?
10335What bearing have its theory and practice upon the conduct of life?
10335What did he want with that bud, I wonder?
10335What do you think about it?"
10335What does the kindergarten do for children under six years of age?
10335What has it accomplished when it sends the child to the primary school?
10335What has the kindergarten to do with social reform?
10335What is education good for that does not teach the mind to observe accurately and define picturesquely?
10335What is the true relation of the kindergarten to social reform?
10335What objects, then, shall our stories serve beyond the important one of pleasing the little listeners?
10335Who can see the kindergarten games, led by a teacher who has grown into their spirit, and ever forget the joy of the spectacle?
10335Why do n''t you club together and make a very large, fine one?"
10335Why should giving him a good thrashing teach him to be kind to his little sister?
10335Why should he learn the multiplication table with greater rapidity because you ferule him soundly?
10335Wrong things are not so easily rubbed out, are they?"
10335_ Nora A. Smith_ THE RELATION OF THE KINDERGARTEN TO SOCIAL REFORM HOW SHALL WE GOVERN OUR CHILDREN?
10335_ Who owns the child_?
10335how is she who has never made a stiff batter to settle the exact amount of flour necessary?
10335that we may determine the influence of home ties;"Have they been given to the use of liquor?"
10335that we may heap proof on proof, mountain high, against the monster evil of intemperance;"What has been their family history?"
10335that we may know whether we are worse or better than other people?
10335that we may prove what we already know, that idle fingers are the devil''s tools;"Have they been educated?"
10335was it for food, or bric- a- brac, or a plaything for the babies?
40481And what is your last name?
40481And which place do you like best, Johnny?
40481And you do n''t have to pay for anything?
40481But what else can we do?
40481But why not the private nursery,--the sunny room for the child and his toys? 40481 Call what?
40481Can you not get them as easily, dear?
40481Did n''t you ever see the walking- stick one? 40481 Do you like bugs?"
40481Does your child walk better if you make his shoes for him?
40481If not trained to obedience, what shall the child be trained to?
40481Is it open always?
40481Is not this also descending to the plane of childishness, of savagery, to which you were just now objecting?
40481Mabel, will you please bring me down the largest needle on my cushion?
40481Now what will you have?
40481We will have some to- morrow,she promises; and, to distract him from thought of the impossible,"Wo n''t you have a chop?"
40481What do you call this, anyhow?
40481What is the difference between this and the other method?
40481What kind o''bugs?
40481What would you like, dear?
40481What yer talkin''about, anyway?
40481Why?
40481Why?
40481Yes,--but the whole place,--is it a park?
40481And to the mother,--what good will this do her?
40481And what, in close analysis, is obedience?
40481And, if a virtue, is it always and equally so?
40481And, if it does, will that make them disinclined to be nurse- maids?
40481Are our methods with children those which best fit men and women for doing their share to maintain and develope human life?
40481Are they the qualities we wish to develope in American citizens?
40481But can she?
40481But could we do that?
40481But is it?
40481But is this so essential quality in rearing young animals as essential in human education?
40481But why need we add to this the difficulty of making the child dislike the work?
40481Can she cut her darling''s hair so as to make him happy?
40481Can she make a good chair or table or book or window?
40481Can she, with all her love, make as good a shoe as the shoemaker?
40481Can the average woman successfully manage the mingled industries of her household and the education of her children?
40481Could anything prove more clearly our lack of just appreciation of the importance of childhood?
40481Do n''t you love mamma?
40481Do we put baby''s cap on grandma, and then make fun of the old lady''s looks?
40481Do you expect me to add a child- size house in the back yard?
40481Do you know how to build with bricks?
40481Do you think it is fair to call me downstairs just to say that?"
40481Does he gain in it?
40481Does mother- love teach her to be a good barber?
40481Does not the very conception of justice involve a third party, some one to hold the scales, to balance, to decide?
40481Does the best care of a child require the concentrated and unremittent devotion of an entire mother?
40481During what part of this time can the household labourer give due attention to the child?
40481Grey?"
40481He inquires,"Why?"
40481He says,"Why?"
40481How does a society improve?
40481How does she justify her brutal behaviour?
40481How does the intelligent adult treat the stranger within his gates?
40481How far does the duty of the State extend, and how much should be left to individual responsibility?
40481How is an unwhipped child to know what whipping means?
40481How much self- control has my Johnny, as measured by his age?--as compared with others of his age?
40481If a parent loses his temper and talks foolishly, how can a child respect this weakness?
40481If he sees that she thinks only of him, lives only for him, what is he to learn by it?
40481If there is no slipper, why not tip over the work- basket: if there is no policeman, why not steal?
40481In highest success, this produces the heavy child, whining,"What shall I do now?"
40481In the first place, what are my objections to the nurse- maid now?
40481In what way can we reach the child''s range of reasoning, and convince him of the desirability of this artificial code of ours?
40481Is it on the obvious ground of physical superiority in age and strength?
40481Is it"natural"for a mother to submit her children to the instruction of other extra- maternal persons?
40481Is it?
40481Is no modesty becoming a period of life when experience has given some measure to merit?
40481Is not that enough?"
40481Is our term used with reference to a period of development,"natural"motherhood, meaning primitive, savage motherhood?
40481Is the child to sit in a chair, lie down, or ride the bicycle continually?
40481Is this capacity of submission of sufficient value to the human race to be called a virtue?
40481May we not gently pursue the theme?
40481Must a home be shabby and bare?
40481Now is it"natural"for a mother to take no part in getting food for children?
40481Now what is the attitude of the family toward this new- comer?
40481Now what is the matter with the nurse- maid?
40481Now where was I?
40481Now why,--in the name of reason, courtesy, education, justice, any lofty and noble consideration,--why should Two- and- a- half be thus insulted?
40481Now will the training school make ladies-- or, at least, partial ladies-- of our nurse- maids?
40481Now, once for all, what is the advantage of living in a society instead of living alone?
40481On what characteristics does our human pre- eminence rest?
40481Or can we arrange the position of the nurse- maid, so that ladies will be willing to take it?
40481Or is it sufficient education to watch a servant at work, and to help a little when one is old enough?
40481Or must the child be confined to his bed?
40481Or only of her?
40481Or only of his children?
40481Or would he be willing to engage a man who had so little fitness for the profession of tutor as to be content to act as janitor also?
40481See the way he''s painted?
40481She does her duty, living there with her mother in the capacity of-- of what?
40481Should it be added to the public- school system,--open to all girls,--perhaps compulsory?
40481Suppose Mr. Jones steals a cow from Mr. Smith, is Mr. Smith capable of being himself both judge and executioner?
40481That position makes it very easy for mamma as long as"childish faith"endures; but how does it help the man she has reared in this idyllic falsehood?
40481The mother who now says,"What would you do with a child like that?"
40481The nursery and the nurse are essential to the baby; but what kind of nursery and nurse are most desirable?
40481The vigorous functional activity of the young brain cries out against it; and the child says,"Why?"
40481The"practical"question will now arise,"Who is to pay for all this?"
40481There is no more aimless asking,"What shall I do now?"
40481They must respect their elders even in this pitiful attitude; but who is to demand the respect due to youth?
40481This being a clearly established fact, why have we not profited by it?
40481To think only of himself?
40481To which we merely rejoin,"Does she?"
40481What are the qualities developed by house- service?
40481What can the parent say?
40481What does little Albert learn?
40481What does that simple saying mean?
40481What does the intelligent parent expect?
40481What have the mothers ever done to prevent these diseases?
40481What is a society?
40481What is it for?
40481What is it that our children need?
40481What is it to obey?
40481What is it we have done so patiently and faithfully all these years to every one of the human race which has injured the natural working of the brain?
40481What is the point of view of the insulter?
40481What is the real difference between Jessie''s position and Christine''s?
40481What is this mistake?
40481What is to be done to the naughty child?
40481What is"a virtue"?
40481What is"obedience"?
40481What methods of discipline are in general use in the rearing of children?
40481What mother has taken any steps to prevent these accidents?
40481What should be done to help Johnny gain in self- control?
40481What sort of mother do we praise as natural, and what sort do we blame as"unnatural"?
40481What thought, what care, what service, does the average mother give to other people''s children?
40481What''s that got to do with bugs?"
40481When did I first notice self- control in Johnny?
40481When have I seen it greatest?
40481When is mamma not busy?
40481Where is the child to run to?
40481Who shall have it?
40481Why are we so lacking in the respect due to youth?
40481Why can not a grown person advance to make the acquaintance of a child with the same good manners used in meeting an adult?
40481Why do women imagine that their time, strength, and skill severally will serve better than in combination?
40481Why not a public nursery and a public nurse?
40481Why not apply study, criticism, suggestion, and experiment to motherhood, and make some progress there?
40481Why not provide for them a place where their natural activities would not be injurious, but educational?
40481Why seek to rear young creatures in a place where they must do mischief if they behave differently from grown people?
40481Why should a baby be surrounded with these superfluous evils?
40481Why should it now?
40481Why should we jeer at a baby more than at an old person?
40481Why should we not be at some pains to prepare him for these experiences?
40481Why should we take liberties with the person of a child other than those suitable to an intimate friendship at any age?
40481Why should youth be modest?
40481Why would n''t it be a good thing for all girls to know something of the care of children?
40481Why, then, are they so certain that they can teach the babies better than trained baby- teachers?
40481Why?
40481Will the training schools make them honourable?
40481Will you have some gravy?"
40481Would I want my sister Jessie to be a nurse- maid?
40481Would he be willing to spare the time required to fill the janitor''s position from the time required to fill the tutor''s position?
40481Would he think these industries and the society of the persons engaged in them good educational influences?
40481Would such a man be willing to engage a tutor who was also a janitor?
40481as good a hair- brush, tooth- brush, tumbler, teacup, pie- plate, spoon, fork, or knife, as the professional manufacturers of these things?
40481or to call the doctor when they are sick, engage the dentist to fill their teeth, and hire persons to help take care of them?
40481or,"What would you do with such a child as that?"
40481will you please get me the scissors?"
52302A bag o''dold?
52302A bag of gold?
52302A parent''s club-- eh? 52302 A-- what?"
52302An''has she got a spangled dress?
52302And Dorry punished him promptly for his display of superior virtue-- eh? 52302 And after school----""After school can I take my bank?
52302And by that you mean----?
52302And what did you do then?
52302And what, pray, do you mean by''like''?
52302Are n''t you going to kiss me, too, daddy?
52302As what-- Concrete examples of the genus_ enfant terrible_?
52302Aw-- you''re a terrible good boy, are n''t you?
52302Besides that, do n''t they tell us a child''s character is pretty well formed by the time he is seven?
52302But I should like to ask you, Mrs. Van Duser, if you approve of-- whipping children?
52302But how, Sam? 52302 But your father would n''t like you to cut the mantel- shelf; do n''t you know he would n''t, dear?"
52302But, Doris dear, Mr. Hickey was n''t with Aunty Evelyn; was he?
52302Call me Aunty Evelyn, dear; that''ll be nicer; do n''t you think it will? 52302 Can you tell me, my boy, why you experience pleasure at the sight of your mother?"
52302Can you, darling? 52302 Cwyin''?"
52302Did he take her to the business men''s lunchroom? 52302 Did her cwy?"
52302Did she use the butter- paddle on the unfortunate infant?
52302Did that Popham man call to see me after all?
52302Did the princess cry?
52302Did you really bite your dear little brother till the blood came, Doris? 52302 Did you, or did you not intend giving me the chance to-- er-- continue our conversation of last evening?"
52302Do n''t you hear mother, Doris?
52302Do n''t you remember I did? 52302 Do n''t you think you were a little hard on them, though?"
52302Do tell me what you do in a case like this?
52302Do you hear anything?
52302Do you hear that, mother?
52302Do you think I-- er-- told my friend the correct thing to do?
52302Do you think this is the natural penalty?
52302Do you want Aunty Evelyn to think we''ve improved, if we have n''t?
52302Do you want to go out in the yard a little while?
52302Do you, dear? 52302 Does-- Mr. Hickey know you are going?"
52302Doris, dear,interrupted Miss Tripp tactfully,"would n''t you like to look at pictures a little while with the boys?
52302Doris, dear; do n''t you see Mrs. Van Duser? 52302 Dot a spangled dwess?"
52302Forgive her?
52302Forty- eight, seventy, sir; reduced from fifty dollars; shall I send them?
52302Had Dick been playing with red paint?
52302Hard on them?
52302Has daddy gone?
52302Have you read it?
52302Have your dolls got real hair?
52302How about the other young Brewsters?
52302How could you think so quickly?
52302How did you do it?
52302How do you like this, sir? 52302 How do you make a skatin''rink?"
52302How do you spell evaporate, mother?
52302How would Hickey do?
52302How would your lady like something like this?
52302I am perfectly well,she declared;"but, Betty dear, could you give me a cup of tea?
52302I do n''t know how? 52302 I do n''t see why; do you?"
52302I know it, dear; and I''m going to smile; that''s better; is n''t it?
52302I like t''eat better''n anything; do n''t you?
52302I ought not to have kept him up for dinner.--You''ll excuse us just an instant; wo n''t you?
52302I suppose you had told him not to get out?
52302I want to play train, or somethin''like that; do n''t you, Robbie?
52302I was so ashamed,she concluded;"but what could I do?"
52302I wonder,Miss Tripp was saying brightly,"if you would n''t like to see my little kindergarten?
52302If variety is the spice of life anticipation might be said to be its sweetening-- eh? 52302 Indians always put it on their faces; do n''t you remember the Indians in my Indian book?
52302Is it as late as that?
52302Is it because she gives you food when you are hungry that you love your parent? 52302 Is n''t it time for these young persons to go to bed?"
52302Is our cellar window open?
52302Is she young and be- utiful?
52302Is-- er-- Mrs. Brewster''s friend, Miss Tripp, still with you?
52302May I listen, if I''m a good boy?
52302Next door-- to-- er stay?
52302No? 52302 No?"
52302Not all my money, mother?
52302Now then, kittykins, slip into your warm dressing- gown and see how nicely you can brush your teeth, while mother-- What is it, Carroll? 52302 Now, do you think you can remember?"
52302Oh, Sam, why will you persist in bringing home candy?
52302Oh, are you?
52302Oh, then you saw him? 52302 Oh-- er-- I say, Brewster; would it be the proper thing for me to call on Miss Tripp?
52302Oh; is n''t your mother at home?
52302Or-- we might call it a demurrer-- eh? 52302 Ought I-- ought my friend to have paid more?"
52302Say, Annie, c''n I have four cookies?
52302Say, Bill; nice weather for a trolley- ride-- heh?
52302Shall I come up, dear? 52302 Something in plumes, sir?"
52302Suppose I did care, my very dear Betty; suppose my whole career depended upon what Hickey said-- or did n''t say; what could I do about it?
52302Sure an''yez did n''t mean to hit me eye; did yez, now?
52302That is to say, she----"Your wife, perhaps?
52302Then you do n''t think we could both learn a thing or two from Judge Lindsay and other specialists about the way to manage and bring up our boys?
52302Tired, dear?
52302Tripp-- Tripp? 52302 Um- m, it''s good; do n''t you wish you had some?"
52302Was it so very bad, Evelyn?
52302We know it all-- eh? 52302 Well, dear; you can stay and have lunch with the children; only----""Are you goin''to whip me?
52302Well; are you goin''to do it?
52302What are you doing, kiddies?
52302What are you most afraid of?
52302What had Carroll done to provoke the cannibalistic desire on the part of the young woman?
52302What happened?
52302What is it, Betty?
52302What is the natural penalty for eating cookies out of the box when you''ve been forbidden to do it?
52302What made you think of such a thing, precious?
52302What sort of feathers, sir?
52302What was the man thinking of?
52302What would you teach?
52302What youth-- the fairy prince?
52302What''ll we do?
52302What''s the matter, dear?
52302What? 52302 What?"
52302What_ are_ you doing? 52302 When did you break it, Celia?"
52302Where c''d we get the water?
52302Where did you get that?
52302Where have you been keeping yourself all these weeks? 52302 Where is Livingstone?"
52302Where is Norah, dear?
52302Where is your umbrella, Miss Tripp?
52302Where''s purgatory, Annie?
52302Where''s your mother?
52302Wherefore the incarceration, O lady mother?
52302Who is going to wash them?
52302Who said so?
52302Why do n''t you an''Doris make a skatin''rink?
52302Why not? 52302 Why should n''t Aunty Evelyn let Mr. Hickey hear the story if he wants to, dear?"
52302Why would n''t you?
52302Why, Doris dear, where did you ever learn such an expression?
52302Why, yes; do you know him?
52302Why?
52302Will you kindly tell me what you were trying to do, Doris?
52302Wo n''t you carry him up- stairs for me, Sam?
52302Wo n''t you take pity on me, dear?
52302Would n''t they be good enough at that price?
52302You ca n''t mean George Hickey-- a civil engineer?
52302You would n''t like to go up and kiss her good- night, Sam?
52302You''ll be a good girl and keep your toes under your chair, wo n''t you, Dorry?
52302You-- what?

10916Why?
10916Why?
10916Why?
10916Why?
10916but the second question I would ask is,"What is your lung capacity?"
10916during the critical periods of life?
10916proper habits in prayer, in attendance to Sunday School and in other religious duties?
10916to boys and girls at this time?
10916what lessons?
19432As long as I steer clear of the law and avoid breaking my neck, what other consequences are there that I need to keep worrying about? 19432 But the first one of these seeds, or the first one of these trees-- who conceived and executed that?"
19432But who conceived the plan of the trees and plants?
19432But,say I,"are you sure you are not trying to befuddle me and befuddle yourself by the use of obscure words?
19432But,say I,"what sublime intelligence conceived the plan of those machines, and what kind of sublimely skilful craftsman was able to fashion them?"
19432But,some one objects,"how about your obligations to others?
19432If this is the palpable intention and design of an all- wise Creator, how does it happen that so many human beings fail to carry out the purpose? 19432 Is that what is meant by soul and conscience and honor?
19432Mother, where did I come from? 19432 What kind of punishment shall it be-- the fairest we can think of?
19432What of that? 19432 Why should n''t I be a pleasure- seeker and a pleasure- lover?
19432Why should n''t I go ahead and gratify all my impulses?
19432A bird?
19432A flower?
19432A germ?
19432A little scolding, perhaps, and a repetition of the warning and the promise?
19432A spider?
19432After all, looking at it from their point- of- view, and bearing in mind the freedom of the individual, why should n''t they?
19432And after all, suppose he does happen to"get pinched,"what of it?
19432And how do they do it?
19432And what of the rôle of a father in this most vital of responsibilities?
19432And who made all these other people?
19432And who''s really to blame?
19432Are n''t you just a little bit ashamed of what you did to Delia?"
19432Are these other things more important than the welfare of their children?
19432Are they exercised to the same extent?
19432Are things going on indefinitely, this way,--or more so?
19432As I was not concerned in it, I can not be held accountable, so what difference does it make to me?
19432As a matter of fact, how severe and accurate a test have either of those devotions been submitted to?
19432As far as his own experience is concerned, where is the reason for him to deny his impulse?
19432As for the danger, who''s afraid of that?
19432Because I happen to know that he was innocent, does that make the occurrence any less reasonable?
19432Because certain individuals are born blind or deaf, does that imply that mankind was not designed to see or hear?
19432Because certain individuals, through the effects of disease or abuse, lose their sight, does that disprove a purpose for the eye?
19432Between these two contradictory principles, even if she has the best intentions in the world, what is she to do?
19432But as this also is no haven of refuge for the vague feelings of faith and aspiration, where are they to go?
19432But even so, and admitting what is apparently obvious, how could any amount of reasoning arrive at a decision in the matter?
19432But even so, how could they come to do such a thing?
19432But how about the feelings of admiration and enthusiasm which works of such great beauty were intended to inspire?
19432But if you believe in doing what you feel like and the doctor is out of the way, why not have your beef- steak?
19432But might n''t it be counted in your favor-- over there?
19432But suppose it might be that after death their spirits could live on, in an unknown world?
19432But what of the Jake, in this case-- the prime factor of the problem?
19432But what of the children?
19432Do n''t modern mothers love their children?
19432Do n''t you know in your heart that this would be wrong-- very wrong?
19432Do not the divorce courts and remarriages and scattered children and the talk and acts of emancipated women give ample evidence of it?
19432Do we measure the achievements of a Napoleon, an Alexander, a Washington, by the manner of their decline and death?
19432Does any one claim, or imagine, that school- books contain much nourishment for the heart and soul, or the moral feelings, or love of beauty?
19432Does father have to know about that, yet?"
19432Does he work any harder than I do?
19432Does it make any difference to him whether he breaks a promise-- to his mother and father?
19432Does not each individual feel moved to accomplish something beyond the mere continuation of life?
19432Does not that same observation apply to the general and to all other individuals, high or low?
19432Does she wish them to be liars and cheats and ingrates, dissipated and corrupt, if by so doing they can have most pleasure and satisfy themselves?
19432Even if she has a little pinch of the heart at the thought of subjecting her sensitive boy to such an ordeal, how can she dare to do otherwise?
19432For her sake?
19432Has man really a soul, at all?
19432Has my life any purpose in the great, everlasting scheme of things?
19432Has not this sentiment something in it which is quite apart from self- interest, or reason, or the impulses of affection?
19432Has scientific thought discovered, or devised, any means of increasing the warmth and tenderness of the human heart?
19432Has the rule of reason made husbands and wives any more devoted to each other, or to their friends?
19432Has your wife''s devotion been subjected to a corresponding test?
19432How are they going?
19432How are you going to make people less selfish and more considerate of others?
19432How could he be bringing so many presents to so many people, all over the world, and delivering them personally, on the same Christmas eve?
19432How could they get it?
19432How do the roots and the leaves and the sap ever contrive to convert these into perfume and blossoms and pulp and pigment?
19432How does it always manage to get the necessary raw materials from the earth and the air?
19432How does it happen that so many are relatively deficient, or totally unconscious of the feelings themselves?
19432How does it operate?
19432How does it work?
19432How far will you get by telling them that the way they are going is immoral and sinful?
19432How is he to do that, unless he is sent to school in time to be prepared?
19432How many mothers are consistently striving to watch over every tender requirement of the heart feelings and soul feelings of their children?
19432How much of a mother''s time is required for the right kind of care for her children?
19432How will you pass through them?
19432If I do n''t bring you up right-- isn''t it my fault?
19432If not, who, or what, is to stop the movement and turn it in another direction?
19432If other people are affected by what we do, and they have feelings of the same sort as ours, are not they, too, entitled to some consideration?
19432If self- determination is the proper thing for each nation, should it not be an equally proper thing for each individual?
19432If that is the way of love, why does n''t it apply to one, as well as the other?
19432If the present condition is indeed an effect of modern science, either directly or indirectly, how can it fail to continue?
19432If the world is supposed to be run by reason, and reason says the majority ought to rule, why should n''t each one of us have an equal share with him?
19432If there is no other end in view for each and every one, but to live and die, what boots it?
19432If there were no purpose at all to an individual life, what difference would it make whether he had a conscience or not?
19432If we consider the results, where is the evidence of a constant betterment in man''s spiritual nature?
19432If you are a boy and feel like it, why should n''t you?
19432If you liked each other, why should n''t you?
19432In all sorts of new experiences and questions of conduct, the thought comes spontaneously:"What will mother think about this?"
19432In early childhood, where is it to get that tender, devoted love, if not from its mother?
19432In such a case, when an order comes, what is, and ought to be, the purpose of each individual soldier composing the brigade?
19432In the advanced stage of enlightenment at which we have arrived can any reasonable person fail to recognize this palpable truth?
19432In the average family of to- day, how much thought, or time, is devoted to the observance of this essential principle?
19432In this age of enlightenment, with all sorts of theories in the air, how is she to know the proper way of forming a fine character?
19432In what part of his body is it located?
19432Is he any better man?
19432Is he not entitled to make all the money he can, in accordance with the laws?
19432Is it good for the children?
19432Is it possible that right here may be the main and underlying cause of the so- called"demoralization"of the present generation?
19432Is it possible that you are still under the influence of an out- grown mediaeval superstition?
19432Is it possible to doubt what sort of a legislature will be chosen?
19432Is it simply that one breaks the law, while the other does not?
19432Is it to be wondered at, if many a modern mother, in this predicament, vacillates between the two?
19432Is n''t it?"
19432Is n''t that about as much as Enlightened Reason could expect of me?
19432Is n''t that right?...
19432Is not Jones perfectly honest?
19432Is our civilization, like that of the Roman Empire, destined to decline and decay?
19432Is that reasonable?
19432Is the effect of it to- day on the forming character any different from what it has been, in the past?
19432Is there any reason for him to be living in a big house with eight servants, and riding around in a limousine car, when all I can afford is a flivver?
19432Is there no such thing as right and wrong?
19432Is there not every reason for his intellect to approve of his shrewdness in taking advantage of his opportunity?
19432Is there not within us a vague aspiration to do well and be something good and fine, according to our means and tastes?
19432Is there really an all- wise Lord, looking on and listening when you say your evening prayers?
19432Is this equally true of the heart and the soul, the development of character, so vitally important in the life and worth of every human being?
19432It is one very solid answer to the second part of the great question: What is the purpose of my life?
19432Less immoral, or unmoral, and more virtuous?
19432Less mercenary and more honorable?
19432Must there be a return to the old- fashioned methods and beliefs?
19432Of cheerfulness and sympathy and consideration for others?
19432Of sincerity, honor, fidelity,--conscience, aspiration, and faith in a mysterious, all- wise destiny?
19432On what does it depend?
19432Or at the hair- dresser''s and manicure''s?
19432Or attending a meeting at the woman''s club?
19432Or better literature than Moliere or Shakespeare?
19432Or better music than Chopin or Wagner?
19432Or better statues than Michael Angelo?
19432Or by the rise and fall of a human individual?
19432Or gossiping at an afternoon tea?
19432Or in intellectual pursuits of any kind?
19432Or is the tendency rather to trammel and divert them by so much laborious and irrelevant interference?
19432Or suppose he has disobeyed the nurse, and she comes and tells you?
19432Or suppose you are on top of a tall building and feel a strong impulse to jump out and go sailing through the air?
19432Perhaps it would help, if we could find the right kind of punishment?"
19432Perhaps mother, for reasons of her own, does n''t wish him to know yet, and would blame the nurse for telling him?
19432Should anything different be expected?
19432Suppose a commanding general, in the midst of a campaign, gives orders for a brigade to occupy a certain ridge and defend it at all costs?
19432Suppose a loving mother belongs to this class-- what is best and wisest for her to do with her son?
19432Suppose a normal mother is on her death- bed, with but an hour to live?
19432Suppose by doing the thing you wish, you will harm them?"
19432Suppose he is forced by experience to realize that you ca n''t be trusted with money, any more than you can be trusted with an automobile?
19432Suppose it could be proved that this were the true purpose of life-- to win benefit and glory for your spirit in the world beyond?
19432Suppose it turns out that clear, cool water may be polluted with cholera, or yellow fever, or other deadly germs?
19432Suppose on account of his affections and sympathies for other individuals, the idea occurs to him that he was meant to serve them, also?
19432Suppose these orders are carried out and, after a heroic defence lasting several days, the entire brigade is wiped out by the enemy?
19432Suppose we start with that and agree on it-- two whole days?"
19432Suppose your own father, as a result of your irresponsibility, refuses to let you have an automobile to break the speed laws with?
19432Suppose your son disobeys you, what then?
19432The forgeries in each case were repeated-- why should n''t they be?
19432Then that long motor ride through deserted country-- suppose it should be raining and the roads slippery and they should try to make it too fast?
19432Then why is it modern children do n''t receive proper training by their modern mothers?
19432Then, why--?
19432They can answer by saying"If I choose to be immoral and satisfy myself, why should n''t I?
19432Thousands upon thousands of other women are doing it, and no up- to- date enlightened person thinks any the worse of them-- so why should n''t I?
19432Was it to enable those individual soldiers to win victory and gain promotion?
19432We all want the good things of life, as much as he does, and if we''re in the majority, why should n''t we have our share?
19432Were the motives and behavior of the average man ever more corrupt, immoral and baser than they are to- day-- all over the world?
19432What about all the miracles so devoutly recorded in the Bible?
19432What about religion?
19432What all- wise intention is fulfilled in the deterioration and decay of any thing which has once seemed admirable and worthy?
19432What causes it to come to life in the human soul?
19432What do they do?
19432What do they imply?
19432What does the question of experience lead to and imply?
19432What for?"
19432What good is accomplished by the rise and fall of an empire?
19432What good is it, when it does come?
19432What ground is there for imagining that it is any more immortal than his heart or his eye?
19432What grounds are there for imagining such an absurdity?
19432What harm to the boy?
19432What in the world are we going to do about it?"
19432What influence has developed the sentiment in one, and retarded or eliminated it in the other?
19432What is she to do?
19432What is that purpose?"
19432What is the essence of her feelings?
19432What is the meaning of it all?
19432What is the underlying difference between him and a worthy citizen?
19432What is the world coming to?
19432What is to be done about it?
19432What is to be done to stem this tide of youthful depravity?
19432What is to be mother''s answer?
19432What kind of things?
19432What method is she to follow?
19432What must you do?
19432What next?
19432What real difference would that make if their lives had no other purpose, either?
19432What reason is there for my brother to dote on fried onions, while I can not endure them?
19432What sublime intelligence conceived the plan of that bit of protoplasm-- and what kind of sublimely skilful craftsman was able to fashion it?"
19432What would you suggest?"
19432What, in this case, were some of the results?
19432What, now, of the new?
19432What, now, was the purpose of the general, in issuing the orders?
19432What, then, of the future?
19432When a dog dies, does the spirit of him do the same thing?
19432When we turn to the more personal feelings of the individual, in his intimate relations with other beings, is not the situation much the same?
19432Whence do they come-- and what are they good for?
19432Where are the prizes and marks to stimulate endeavor in these?
19432Where are the teachers of modesty and self- denial?
19432Where can it end, except in utter degradation, not only for their own sex, but for their husbands and their sons?
19432Where does it come from?
19432Wherein, then, lay that genius which makes him the outstanding Frenchman and one of the supreme personages of history?
19432Which of the two candidates are likely to be preferred by a workingman who hears his children cry for more bread?
19432Who can judge of each case, but the right kind of mother?
19432Who''s afraid of breaking the law-- if you have the nerve?"
19432Who, or what, is going to stop it?
19432Why did the same thing happen in Rome?
19432Why do they do it?
19432Why do this, that, or the other?
19432Why does he have to do this?
19432Why does my uncle like pig''s feet and eels and snails, while my wife is made almost ill at the sight of them?
19432Why not follow the lead of our instincts, accept all opportunities as they come, and make the most of them?
19432Why not?
19432Why not?
19432Why not?
19432Why not?
19432Why not?
19432Why should an emancipated ego, brought up in the modern way, be constantly bothered by the thought of others?
19432Why should n''t I follow my inclinations and do what I like, whenever and wherever I get the chance?"
19432Why should there be?
19432Why should this not apply as well to the soul, if there is a function in man which goes by that name?
19432Why were exquisite flowers and fruit- bearing trees allowed to be overcome by foul fungus and poisonous weeds?
19432Why were wolves permitted and urged by their instincts to devour innocent lambs?
19432Why, when these feelings reached so high a standard in the classic days of Greece, did they decline and shrivel and give way to barbarism?
19432Why?
19432Why?
19432Why?
19432Will it get it from a well- paid nurse or governess, whether Swede or Irish, French or English?
19432Would any business man of the present day blame him?
19432You ca n''t deny that the wish was there-- without lying to yourself-- so what''s the use?
19432You wish to be intelligent and reasonable, do n''t you?
19432_ Boy gives her a glance, looks down, thinking-- begins to smile, hesitates.__ Mother:_"What are you thinking?
19432_ Boy( delighted):_"Really?"
19432_ Boy( looking down, thinking, very nervous):_"If you could n''t go riding, either-- why should you be punished?"
19432_ Boy( quickly):_"Father?"
19432_ Boy( troubled, thinking, giving her a look):_"Two whole days?"
19432_ Boy:_"But if I do n''t do it again----?"
19432_ Boy:_"Have you got a temper, too?"
19432_ Boy:_"You might n''t know anything about it-- if it was to the cook, or Delia, or Vincent-- or somebody else?"
19432_ Mother( smiling, thinking):_"Well, well-- here''s a pretty kettle of fish-- isn''t it?
19432_ Mother:_"How would it be if, the next time you told a lie, you and mother could n''t, either of you, go riding in the automobile for two days?"
19432or any smarter?
47850''I wish you''d trot up- stairs for my slippers?'' 47850 ''_ Sir!_''"''What under the sun did you bring these old slipshods for?
47850A metaphorical lump, I suppose?
47850Am I to fancy that my children can break through the hedge my prayers have built about them?
47850And at the same time study, draw, paint, and dabble with a thousand other things?
47850And do n''t you see that this desire has come from God, and that He has responded to it? 47850 And do you think there is a fair prospect of Kitty''s turning out well at last?"
47850And has He refused hundreds of times?
47850And have Margaret nurse you?
47850And how did you get on?
47850And how did you get over it?
47850And how many friends should you have, at that rate?
47850And how much the day before?
47850And how soon do you expect to clear yourself?
47850And in the meanwhile?
47850And leave us boys out?
47850And not through the exercise of faith on their part?
47850And suppose he has n''t?
47850And were you becoming a model eldest daughter to her?
47850And were you ever afraid to die?
47850And what errand have you at the village, child?
47850And what is that?
47850And what reason would you give those you neglected for your conduct?
47850And what should you do in such a case? 47850 And what was done to him?"
47850And what would you counsel in regard to him?
47850And where do you expect to get them?
47850And where do you propose to die?
47850And where?
47850And who dares say my innocent little darling is a thief?
47850And why not become one, this minute?
47850And you studied algebra?
47850And your other children?
47850Another excuse? 47850 Any danger of their running away with us?"
47850Anything happen to you, mamma?
47850Are children, then, mere monkeys, imitating all they see done?
47850Are these illuminations, also, things of the past, too?
47850Are they not? 47850 Are they truthful?"
47850Are you still hoping? 47850 Are you sure it is a good thing to thrash a boy of that age?"
47850Are you sure? 47850 Aunty, you say you get some thought out of almost every visit you make; now what did you get out of this one?"
47850But I see no complications or contradictions in her,said Mr. Heath;"and if there are none, why should we not understand her?
47850But are you sure of getting situations together?
47850But does not the Bible put repentance first?
47850But does she look as if she was going to die?
47850But if she is alive, where is she? 47850 But suppose I begin and do n''t hold out?"
47850But suppose I put her to bed, and she remembers what passed between us to- night, sha n''t I lose my hold on her? 47850 But suppose she gets it without seeking?"
47850But there was a deal of money spent on your education,said Mrs. Grey, turning to the young ladies;"could you not open a school?"
47850But what of a very willful one?
47850But what will become of her? 47850 But when it comes to a conflict between a mother and child, a mere baby like Kitzie, ought the Lord of heaven and earth to be expected to interfere?"
47850But why should Kitty cry?
47850But why was n''t it out at Christmas?
47850But, Laura, how could you have the heart to take both Eric and Viola away from Olaf?
47850But, aunty, how did they get in with you?
47850But, dear grandmother, could n''t you tie my arms with a string?
47850By uprightness you do not mean perfection?
47850Can she be made comfortable in that little cottage?
47850Could not I do that?
47850Did I create him? 47850 Did I not send you to your room?"
47850Did St. Paul lie when he called himself the chief of sinners?
47850Did n''t I hear something about editing one?
47850Did you keep one about me?
47850Did you observe that she informed me that she was going to have friends to lunch, instead of asking permission?
47850Did you write nothing at all?
47850Do I?
47850Do n''t we?
47850Do n''t you think it would be a good plan, mamma,asked Belle,"to let the boys run wild for a week before sending them to school?
47850Do the children have a tree every year?
47850Do you believe that those who die in infancy are lost, because they never exercised faith in God, or willed to be His?
47850Do you call it kind and good to thwart me about everything?
47850Do you consider that favorable?
47850Do you know where you are, mother?
47850Do you know, Eric, how nice and pleasant it is to go to church? 47850 Do you let Mabel have her playthings on Sunday?"
47850Do you mean from the children?
47850Do you mean that the Holy Ghost is my_ friend_?
47850Do you mean, then, that we are not to seek human counsel, but just go to Him about everything?
47850Do you stand, with your friends, as you did before these charges?
47850Do you suppose they would care for them, auntie?
47850Do you think she is really going to write a book?
47850Do you think she ought to go, Cyril?
47850Does He not? 47850 Does Margaret know?"
47850Does he like that?
47850Does n''t Christ keep any water in His house?
47850Does n''t it seem strange,asked Hatty,"that God commits children to such youthful hands?
47850Does n''t she know what annoyance they cause?
47850Does n''t she like this house? 47850 Does your head ache even a little?"
47850Eric, do you know what sort of an animal a monkey is?
47850Frank Grey accused of crime? 47850 Frank is not confined to his business all day; could he not contrive to look after the children more?"
47850Frankie, dear,his mother would drawl out,"are n''t you afraid so much mince- pie will make you ill, as it did last week?"
47850From whom?
47850Gabrielle, why are you here?
47850God would n''t do such a thing as to take away Mabel, would He, aunty?
47850Grandmamma,said Gabrielle,"you are not going to see those kind of people, and leave us, when we are having such nice times together?"
47850Harry, can you ever forgive me?
47850Has he a family?
47850Has n''t it?
47850Has she been long ill?
47850Has the boy really no sense of shame?
47850Have you a bank, uncle?
47850Have you always taken care to show sympathy with her in her pursuits, her friends, and the like?
47850Have you been in the habit of buying candy at your pleasure?
47850Have you done everything that can be done to arrest the fugitive?
47850Have you never been there in the summer?
47850Have you seen the babies?
47850How are her nights?
47850How could I forget, even for a moment, how you had been afflicted?
47850How could I help it?
47850How do you expect to live in this villainous climate, you silly child?
47850How happens it that she wants to exclude you all from her pleasures?
47850How little?
47850How long did it take you to paint all these pictures, Margaret?
47850How soon do you think you shall be able to go home?
47850How would this plan suit you, then? 47850 How_ could_ I let those dreadful Grosgrains hurt me so,"she asked herself,"when I have such friends?
47850I do n''t know; are you tired of me?
47850I lost all my beans that way,said Frank, Jr."Shall I read the next verse, uncle?"
47850I shall buy up a whole edition to give to my friends, sha n''t I, baby? 47850 I should like to ask, then, why David and others put the word''my''before the name of God, so often?"
47850I suppose you do n''t include yourself among the''everybody''?
47850If He gets from you all He wants, why does He declare you must be born again?
47850If your watch is in good order, do you have to do more than wind it up every night to insure its keeping good time? 47850 Indeed?
47850Indeed? 47850 Into ruin?"
47850Is anybody dead?
47850Is it as pretty as this at grandma''s?
47850Is it most done?
47850Is it my fault?
47850Is it not possible that she is living?
47850Is it possible that you are so ill, yet show it so little?
47850Is it said anywhere in the Bible that being''good''and being a Christian are synonymous terms?
47850Is it true that you do not love him?
47850Is it wrong, then, to cry?
47850Is n''t it strange, darling,she went on,"that you did not see what I saw so plainly, that your love to me was really love to Christ?
47850Is not her sudden good fortune turning her head?
47850Is she like Maud, then?
47850Is that all you have to say? 47850 Is that so?
47850Is that something very bad?
47850Is there, then, no hope that one of the other sledges will come to our rescue?
47850It was a curious freak of Mrs. Grey, taking you up so, was it not?
47850Madam, do you know anything about sickness?
47850Madam, have you a young daughter?
47850Mamma wo n''t let you, I know; will you, mamma?
47850Margaret, how nearly done is mamma''s book?
47850Margaret, my child,said Mrs. Grey, leaning tenderly over her,"do you call this the aspiration of an unrenewed heart?"
47850May I ask in what way you have tried to tone him up?
47850May I say what_ I_ think about it?
47850Mother, what have I done to anger the Prost?
47850Mrs. Grey,asked Mr. Thayer, abruptly,"do you think that children properly trained, invariably turn out well?"
47850My child, if I should tell you that I was going to take you to drive this afternoon, you would believe me, should you not?
47850My child,she said, kindly,"have I done anything unkind to you since you came here?"
47850My dear,asked Mrs. Grey, seriously,"where should you be if you were dead?"
47850Not since the twins came?
47850Now who has been teaching the child such wicked nonsense?
47850Now, Mary Grosgrain, you do n''t mean that she has been anybody''s servant?
47850Now, what have I said that should make you so merry?
47850Now, you want my honest opinion?
47850Of course not; how should she? 47850 Oh, Belle, what would you do without your devoted little worshipper?"
47850Oh, Laura, how can you encourage Harry''s mischief?
47850Oh, are you going there to_ live_? 47850 Oh, are you sure of that?
47850Oh, aunty, you are not going to give up a_ morning_ to a woman who signs herself''Mrs.''? 47850 Oh, is she your aunt, after all?"
47850Oh, mamma darling, what is it?
47850Oh, mother, what shall I do? 47850 Oh, must you go so soon?"
47850Or put it thus:''John, my boy?''
47850Ought I to have punished Mabel?
47850People she knew nothing about?
47850Poor Olaf, indeed?
47850Pray why should n''t I write books as well as mamma?
47850Shall I ever get the conceit out of you, you foolish boy?
47850Shall it be in the library, after the rest have gone to bed? 47850 Should I?"
47850Should n''t you mind it, really?
47850Strange, is n''t it?
47850Suppose Frank has been sorely tempted, am I to forget that he belongs to a covenant- keeping God?
47850The_ principle of love_?
47850Then how does he spend his time out of school?
47850Then the picture does not please you? 47850 Then, you think there is hope for our poor boy?"
47850There is another thing; I saw a piece of candy on the piano just after you left; was it yours?
47850To a large amount?
47850To dig in ourselves? 47850 To the Astor Library?
47850To whom did you sell out?
47850Tried how?
47850Was there ever such a boy?
47850We are trying, in every way, to make him abhor the sin?
47850Well, and should you like to have everybody say you were a monkey?
47850Well, do n''t I glorify Him? 47850 Well, girls,"said Mrs. Grey,"what do you think of my Margaret?"
47850Well, how are they saved?
47850Well, is n''t Kitty a perfect beauty?
47850Well, now, Mrs. Grey, have you any counsel to give us?
47850Well, now, suppose I tell Kitty to say''Please,''and she wo n''t, what am I to do?
47850Well, what could I do? 47850 Well, what put Eric into your head?"
47850Well, why?
47850Well-- for instance, what you did just now?
47850What am I to do, then?
47850What are we to do with her, then?
47850What are you doing, child?
47850What did you do?
47850What do I want of a great name?
47850What do you propose to do, then? 47850 What for?
47850What for?
47850What is all this?
47850What is it?
47850What is it?
47850What is the matter, Samp?
47850What is the matter?
47850What is there, pray, that I know nothing about?
47850What makes everybody cry?
47850What puts anything into anybody''s head?
47850What shall we do, then?
47850What sort of boys are his intimate friends?
47850What was that, pray?
47850What was the temperature?
47850What''s a Bible- reading?
47850What''s going on here; secrets?
47850What, and bring them here to live?
47850What, for instance?
47850What, let her have her own way? 47850 What, not when you go on straw- rides?
47850What, on a little child? 47850 When?"
47850Where are you sick, then? 47850 Where''s Mag?"
47850Where''s mamma, you naughty child, you, and what do I care for paint?
47850Where_ shall_ I begin?
47850Which do you think the prettiest, mamma''s baby or Mabel''s?
47850While you go off, alone, to die in a hospital? 47850 Who come and make you?"
47850Who gave my little Mabel the sugar?
47850Who is this Helena? 47850 Who says she''s going to die?"
47850Who, do you suppose, would buy such a book?
47850Whose? 47850 Why call it disgrace, when thousands of women are engaged in it?
47850Why could n''t Margaret be brought to me?
47850Why do you stand at the window all the time?
47850Why does n''t Harry come back?
47850Why must we, grandmamma?
47850Why need you be forever alluding to such things? 47850 Why not drop Mrs. Grey, and done with it?"
47850Why not, just as rationally, put off their beginning to love you till they could give a good reason for it, and do it in a very decided way? 47850 Why not?
47850Why not?
47850Why should He love me? 47850 Why should you, who can speak to thousands through your books, be pinned down to one disorderly family?"
47850Why then tell him so?
47850Why, could I do less?
47850Why, you do n''t suppose I am going to paint when my pets are here?
47850Why_ will_ you go about waiting on other people, and wearing yourself out, mamma?
47850Will you give us some hints now about Esther? 47850 Will you prove to me that you are not?"
47850Wo n''t you tell me all about it, dear?
47850Would it be right for us to have no farewell?
47850Would n''t it be well, then, to dress the children a little better?
47850Would this please him, think you?
47850Would you like to see my workshop?
47850Would you use a rod?
47850Would you, mamma?
47850Would you, really? 47850 Yes, I do that; yet is n''t there danger of pampering gluttony?"
47850Yes, but how much better hath God made a human soul that can not die?
47850Yes, dear-- why not?
47850Yes; does n''t it_ rest_ one to see little children before they are spoiled?
47850You ask who says it? 47850 You do n''t mean to tell me that you let my mother_ drown_?"
47850You do not mean to say that you have the slightest suspicion that these rumors have any foundation in truth? 47850 You mean that I may have faith and not know it, and so my faith is of no use to me?"
47850You must have married_ very_ young?
47850You think that makes a difference?
47850You think you could not have Margaret with you, perhaps?
47850You will be a good boy, Eric, wo n''t you now?
47850You would fly away from us who love you so?
47850Your book for mothers? 47850 _ English_ grammar?
47850_ Harry, who is dead?_she asked.
47850_ Is_ it wo n''t?
47850_ Where_ are you sick, my darling?
47850After they went to their room that night, Belle said to her husband:"How could you propose my holding a Bible- reading with all those men?"
47850After two days in the water?"
47850Am I a backbiter?"
47850Am I any more ready to come to your rescue than He is?"
47850Am I bad- tempered?
47850Am I not fair and square in all my dealings?
47850And as to the roast beef, what could be more wholesome?"
47850And as to whipping her, why, I thought you believed in the rod?"
47850And did n''t he seek his own pleasure when he sat down to his roast- beef?
47850And did n''t he speak his own words exactly as if it was Monday?"
47850And how should having great gifts come between him and salvation?
47850And how stupid I was, the first time I saw you, to fancy you just-- just--""A goosey- gander?
47850And if I may, will you tell me what train to take?
47850And if Margaret reads it, why should n''t we?
47850And if a manger and a carpenter''s shop were suitable places for Him, what spot is too humble for us?"
47850And if it is not asking too much, since you so kindly propose to care for my child, might she come to you directly?"
47850And now do n''t you think we ought to go down and join the rest of them?"
47850And now wo n''t you let me see the little nursery people?"
47850And now, if in spite of all your fractious, disobedient ways, I, only a human being at best, love you, how do you think_ He_ feels?"
47850And then turning to Margaret, she said:"Have you ever taken a little child to church?"
47850And what does she say to you?"
47850And what if she was sorely wounded, was she the only one lying mangled on the battle- field?
47850And what_ is_ a genius?
47850And where was his soul, after all?
47850And whose bright face is that in the crowd-- if it is n''t Frank''s?
47850Any one I know?"
47850Apply to your own or your husband''s family?"
47850Are not all gifts from the Lord?"
47850Are you glad that we are all going to live at Greylock?"
47850Are you sure he would not like to learn drawing?
47850Are you sure that you have kept him out of temptation by constant employment, for instance?"
47850As to myself, the main question after all is, have I a clear conscience; I am sure, mother, you never doubted that, who trained it with such care?"
47850But as Mabel knew herself to be innocent, why did n''t she declare it?
47850But at last she said, abruptly:"Aunty, did you expect to be killed that day?"
47850But before you go I want to ask you if we may pray about little things?"
47850But come, now; what have you done to your children?"
47850But here she was surrounded by loving hearts; her home was secured to her; all her plans of life were to be carried out; had she any right to mourn?
47850But how was this to be done?
47850But if you will kindly take charge of this young lady--""Do n''t you know me, mother?"
47850But is n''t it a pity now that we could not go just for a time, and earn money to educate the boy?"
47850But is this the way to put it?
47850But now about to- morrow night?
47850But really, now, what_ is_ your next book to be?"
47850But she is right; and yet, why could not I go to Margaret and release her?
47850But some of the grandchildren were puzzled; why did n''t grandmamma cry more?
47850But tell me how it was they both dropped?"
47850But the Prost willed it, and who dares resist the Prost?"
47850But what is this about my pet?
47850But what should it be?
47850But what would be the use of complaining to him about his mother, whom he loved and revered?
47850But when people_ mean_ things, ca n''t they say them?
47850But why does n''t she write to me?
47850But, aunty, what will Belle do if she loses Mabel?"
47850But, mammy dear, who says I am alienated from Lily?
47850By the by, mamma, you have n''t told me what your next book is to be about?"
47850By the bye, have you any absorbing pursuit or friendship yourself?"
47850Ca n''t she come in the afternoon?"
47850Can it be that Samp has lost control of the horses?
47850Can the tenderest mother say anything like this?"
47850Come, shall I put the little thing to bed?
47850Could I call my husband''the old Harry''to distinguish him from the young Harry?"
47850Could n''t you talk to her, and make her see that she will ruin those children?"
47850Could not some other young girl come and nestle there, and enjoy what Maud no longer needed?
47850Could we not charter a small steamer, and transport her without danger?
47850Did I ever finish it?"
47850Did I not enter Paradise when I left them?"
47850Did I, poppets?"
47850Did her mother fancy she took it herself?"
47850Did she well to mourn?
47850Did this tenderness portend some coming penalty of the law-- perhaps?
47850Did you fancy, perhaps, that He did not love you, and just left you?
47850Do I then love you better than your Father does?
47850Do excuse our curiosity, we would not do anything ill- bred for the world; but how did you contrive to ingratiate yourself so with her?"
47850Do n''t you know that your children are wonderful children?"
47850Do n''t you remember the mania I had for that sort of thing at one time?"
47850Do n''t you think so?"
47850Do not I give, liberally, to the poor?
47850Do you find us, as parents, exceptionally full of mistakes, and our children exceptionally bad?"
47850Do you know Hatty has never written me once since it was born, and that all I know of it is that it is a boy?"
47850Does He find a true worshiper there?"
47850Does Lily let you do so at home?"
47850Does n''t yours sometimes cleave to the roof of your mouth?
47850For reply, Laura, waking also as from a dream, cried,"Where is mamma?
47850Frank Grey under arrest?
47850Going to leave this beautiful house?
47850Grosgrain?"
47850Had she any favorite pursuits?"
47850Has she gone crazy?"
47850Have I your permission to do so?"
47850Have n''t I heard you say you were almost certain of my salvation?"
47850Have n''t the children grown?"
47850Have you all had gardens?"
47850Have you any friends who will aid you until you begin to support yourselves?"
47850Have you not asked our Lord to save your soul?"
47850He is not like you, neither is he like me; indeed he is very ugly; but who cares?
47850Heath-- this very minute,"cried Margaret,"but what shall I call her?"
47850Heath-- to write me such a letter, and call herself my sister?"
47850How are you, old fellow?
47850How came you to get it for me?"
47850How can I know that I do not come under the last head?"
47850How can you bring it in?"
47850How do you suppose a mother feels when she hears that her first- born son is under arrest?
47850How has it been altered?"
47850How have you contrived it all?"
47850How is she, anyhow?"
47850How is that?"
47850How much exercise did you take yesterday?"
47850How much harm have they done to the picture?"
47850How much hold have you on his affections?"
47850How was this?
47850How_ can_ one do justice to a butterfly, as long as it''s an ugly chrysalis?"
47850However, you were not in earnest; you never are, so what''s the use of arguing with you?"
47850I declare, it was just as she looked when she says to me,''Mary, I''m going to be married, and what d''ye think of that?''
47850I mean should one slap a child''s hands?"
47850I suppose you do not expect anything more from me than this?"
47850I wonder if you ever did an errand right in your life?
47850Is it always so?
47850Is it anything to come between him and salvation?"
47850Is it forgetting Him to go to church twice every Sunday?
47850Is it to be nearer perfection than its parents?
47850Is it, then, a lot to be desired to die young?
47850Is n''t she splendid?
47850Is our boy on the absolute road to ruin?"
47850Is that the reason?"
47850Is there nothing can be done to tone Lily up?
47850Is this natural?
47850Is this picture true to life?
47850Is this the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, uttered in the fear of God and the love of Christ?
47850It implies heedlessness, does it not?"
47850Julia, between whom and himself a certain kind of intimacy existed, took him aside one day, and said:"Does mamma look sick to you?"
47850Laura, why did n''t aunty come when I did?
47850Mabel dishonorable?
47850Margaret, my child, do you know how relieved, how thankful I am, to find this true womanly instinct so strong in you?
47850Margaret, who had been glancing over her letter smiled, and read as follows: DEAR OLD MAG:-- Why have n''t you written to ask me why I did n''t write?
47850Margaret, wo n''t you speak to me?"
47850May I come?
47850May I hold my baby a little while and show him this lovely dove?"
47850Might we open it, think?"
47850Mine?"
47850Mrs. Worcester, may I trouble you to adjust the thermometer under the arm, as you did yesterday?"
47850Not a hard- working peasant, a great rough fellow like myself, but, who knows?
47850Now about the boys; have they any vices?"
47850Now we will allow that you have partially erred in this regard; what is the remedy for that and every other error?
47850Now you do not pretend that you never once transgressed?"
47850Now, am I to consider you so far his inferior that I must furnish myself with bolts and bars?"
47850Now, have you anything to suggest?
47850Now, is it likely that He who implanted this maternal instinct begrudged this child the caress she gave her doll?
47850Now, what else did you study?"
47850Now, why all this self- sacrifice and labor for five ill- bred, ill- tempered women, with whom she had not five thoughts in common?
47850Now, would not you love to go and shed tears at church, listening to such beautiful music?"
47850Oh, Cyril, how can you go so?
47850Oh, are you each going to read it to yourselves?"
47850Oh, my little darling, how can I let you lie on that cold floor all night?"
47850Or music?"
47850Or right after dinner, in your dressing- room?"
47850Or the use of tools?
47850Otherwise why should He hover around you as He is doing now, offering you the greatest prizes of life?"
47850Ought I to say anything to her about it?"
47850Perhaps your fractured ankle has a mission to some soul, which it will accomplish through my pen; who knows?"
47850Poor Mrs. Grosgrain, do you know the reason?
47850Reason with her?"
47850See for yourself where the fault lies, and act the part of a friend to us in the greatest emergency of our lives?
47850Shall I read any more?"
47850Shall you be able to leave Harry to go with us to- morrow?"
47850She also communicated that she kept four servants, was fond of housekeeping, and"oh, what do you think of mamma?
47850She went to the window and threw them out; who cared for fruit and flowers now?
47850Some weeks later she came shyly again behind her grandmamma and whispered:"May I join the church next Sunday?"
47850Suddenly she bethought herself of Margaret; would n''t she take her part, perhaps?
47850Suppose I drive, and you come home at your leisure?"
47850Suppose I suddenly take you by the shoulders and give you a good shaking, or an angry blow?"
47850Suppose Kitty forms a habit of refusing to say her prayers?"
47850Suppose your mother enters a hospital where I know she will be kindly treated, and I give you a home with me?
47850That you are never so happy as when at work?
47850The distance was greater than he supposed, and his strength began to fail; what should he do?
47850The family rejoicings were great; but the question now arose, how was the boy to get to the school?
47850Then what receptacle was worthy to hold this treasure?
47850There will be faults, and foibles, and mistakes, perhaps falls; why not?
47850There, now, ai n''t she a picture?"
47850They sat silently together after this, until the rest of the family joined them; and after a time Laura asked:"Where is Hatty?
47850This is n''t the first time he has picked my pocket, is it, Pug, you young scamp?
47850Thousands of Christians will tell you this is their ideal of Sunday; but who lives up to it?
47850Tired?
47850Turning to Margaret, who sat near, she said,"Will you answer this, and tell the child she may come out by the 9:10 train any morning this week?"
47850Was I, Laura?"
47850Was he to be sent to a Reform school, or to jail, or what?
47850Was n''t it a little tall in her to read her own story, though?"
47850Was she to be parted with in this way all her life, she asked herself, always giving amply and receiving sparingly?
47850We have tried to tone him up, but if a child is born without a backbone, what can one do?"
47850We were to come together; why did n''t we?"
47850Well, Mary, how are you?
47850Well, can you, and will you, undertake the task of spending a day or two, more or less, as you think best, in our family?
47850Were you really suspected to that degree?"
47850Were you to go at once?"
47850What could it mean?
47850What do you say, Margaret?"
47850What do you say?
47850What for?"
47850What has the son of a peasant to do with genius, I should like to know?"
47850What in the world did she want of another daughter, when she has a dozen or so of her own?"
47850What is that?"
47850What were you and Cyril talking about at dinner?
47850What would you have more?"
47850When does the next train leave?"
47850When_ do_ you write?"
47850Where are the pencils?
47850Where can she have picked up French, I wonder?"
47850Where is Margaret?"
47850Where''s that good, old soul, Mary?
47850Which shall it be?"
47850Who ever heard of the General of an army becoming panic- stricken and demoralized?
