42157	Does n''t she have any other stomach for it to go into then, mamma?
42157	Is he a pretty worm?
42157	What are cuds, mamma?
42157	What would he want of an apple- blossom?
42157	AND how do you get to Toy- land?
42157	DID you ever see a cat laugh?
42157	Do you have four stomachs, like a cow?"
42157	Four hens were with him; where were two?
42157	Gayer playmates do you know?
42157	He is big enough to use his arms and legs?
42157	How long do you suppose it had taken him to do it?
42157	Was there a fish on it?
42157	What do you think I saw one day In the month of June, as I passed that way?
42157	What is she laughing at?
42157	When she saw the goats, she said,"Why, papa, what will become of us if we have two goats on the place?"
42157	Which of these children do you think would have made the best ruler?
42157	Who ever heard of a worm being pretty?
42157	Why is he not out of doors playing baseball?
42157	said he,"what shall I do?"
42157	said the peacock to one of the hens,"do you not wish that you were as handsome as I am?
42157	where does she live, mamma?"
42157	where is he?
28139	A circle is something round, is n''t it?
28139	How can I remember all that stuff?
28139	Hungry?
28139	Next Tuesday may I take another lesson in ironing?
28139	What can you mean?
28139	What''s a definition?
28139	Would my dress have blazed up?
28139	After a long stare on the part of both of us, I timidly broke the silence by asking,"What is your name?"
28139	At last, just as tears of vexation were rising to my eyes, I thought of asking,"What do you think my name is?"
28139	Did he, after so much pondering, take the note to his master?
28139	Did you bring it from your house?"
28139	Do n''t you know what it does?
28139	Do n''t you think it is nice for Aunt Minnie to have such treasures?
28139	Do you call it_ stuff_, sir?"
28139	Do you know what a circle is, Tommy?"
28139	Do you see what had been the trouble?
28139	Is it for me, Uncle George?
28139	Under the apple tree, See the rosy cheeks: Little Jinx the baby boy; What is it he seeks?
28139	Who sent it to me?
28139	You naughty, naughty baby, How could you vex me so?
28139	what have you brought me?"
28135	Is n''t there noise enough out of doors, without your shaking the house over our heads?
28135	What''s all that racket there?
28135	Where, then, is it, you little darl-- I mean you little rogue?
28135	Why do they wake us up so early with their bell- ringing, their crackers, and guns?
28135	All at once little mamma said,"Why, where''s Percy?"
28135	And a big dog?
28135	And a lion?
28135	Can you guess what their real names are?
28135	DID you ever hear of a great bear and a little bear made of stars?
28135	Do you believe he''d smile and blink, And bear the teasing patiently?
28135	How many sheep do you see in it?
28135	Is that all?
28135	Was there creature ever perter?
28135	Were you not well treated by us?
28135	What did they see?
28135	What does little baby say In her bed at peep of day?
28135	What does little birdie say In her nest at peep of day?
28135	What is the boy''s name, Who sleeps in the morning?
28135	What is the cause of all this commotion?
28135	What then, deserter?
28135	Why is it that he loves so much To tickle the unconscious paws With just a finger tip or touch, Or open them to find the claws?
28135	Why, then, do you thus defy us?
28135	[ Illustration][ Illustration: WHAT DOES LITTLE BIRDIE SAY?]
28135	are you aware How deserters often fare?
28135	said papa,"or I will put you all in prison for breaking the peace,--Where''s my big whip, mother?"
28131	A star that is_ not_ a star?
28131	But what is a chimney- sweeper?
28131	Did you have good sport?
28131	And whose are those bare feet peeping from under it?
28131	And why is little Ned, the baby, sitting up in the bed, as though he wanted to come too?
28131	And why is mamma coming upstairs with a dust- brush in her hand?
28131	And why is that cloth hung over the fireplace?
28131	Being a brave woman, she lighted a candle, and went down stairs; and what do you think she found?
28131	But it was a large tub, and a very deep one too; and what did little Emma know about being careful?
28131	But what became of the poor beetle?
28131	But why are they all flocking about the fireplace?
28131	Can you remember these hard names?
28131	DID any of you find the red star I asked you to look for last month?
28131	DO you know what sly and cunning creatures rats are?
28131	How is it?
28131	Only a feather Blown by the wind In this cold stormy weather, Hunted and hurried so Hither and thither?
28131	She stopped scratching, and looked at him as if she were saying,"All my chickens swim: now what is the matter with you?
28131	Then the man set out to drive him in; and what do you think Jim did?
28131	WHAT is it?
28131	What is it in the first?''"
28131	What is it?
28131	When your uncle gave you a lot of shells last December, what did you do with them, Edwin?"
28131	Why have they all left their beds, and run into the play- room in such haste?
28131	Why is it?
28131	_ Blacksmith._--How much can you pay for the job?
28131	_ Tommy._--Do you shoe horses here, Mr. Blacksmith?
28131	are n''t you afraid you''ll burst?
28131	oh, where?
28131	said the saucy crow, Swelling up with pride,"I''m a jolly rover, And I live in clover: Do n''t you wish that you were here, Sitting by my side?"
42158	Are you homesick?
42158	Do n''t you know?
42158	Do n''t you see?
42158	Is it good?
42158	Some other kind of sick?
42158	Well, do you know what it is, my lad? 42158 What is it that disturbs my little pet?"
42158	What is there to be seen, captain?
42158	But we will not expect too much, will we?
42158	Grasshoppers, crickets, and all merry things?
42158	Her face was so sweet and smiling, that Helen could not refuse her: so she said in French,"How much are they, little girl?"
42158	If I could get him, do n''t you think a little boy that I could name would have a beautiful pet?
42158	Now do you know what land it is?"
42158	Oh, dear me, what will he do?"
42158	Or the bright butterflies folding their wings?
42158	Or the wee lambkins when homeward they run?
42158	Say, is there any baby With this one to compare?
42158	WHO do you suppose Jack was?

40755	Have n''t you had dancing enough? 40755 WHAT do you think?"
40755	What were these dreadful men made for?
40755	Why can they not leave us poor bears in peace?
40755	1"Where have you been, little birdie, Where have you been so long?"
40755	2"Why did you go, little birdie, Why did you go from me?"
40755	3"What did you see, little birdie, What did you see each day?"
40755	4"Who kept you safe, little birdie; Who kept you safe from harm?"
40755	Am I not as good as the doll?
40755	Are you hungry?
40755	Are you sleepy?
40755	Are you tired?
40755	Do you want me to tell you a story?
40755	I felt sure that these were men; but how could I get out of their way when I was adrift on a log?
40755	Jip looks up in her face, as much as to say,"Do n''t you love me, Lucy?
40755	Thus Ann will say,"What is the matter, Susie?
40755	Well, then, how would you like a fancy dance?
40755	What does he conquer?
40755	What if the timbers should strike her?
40755	Why do n''t you pat me?"
40755	You will take good care of us; wo n''t you, Jip?"
40755	why does he stay So long at the tavern across the way?
28136	Are you deaf?
28136	But how did it learn to whistle these tunes?
28136	But where did you get that kite?--made it yourself, did n''t you? 28136 DOES the little fairy Work in a dairy?
28136	HOW do you like that little new neighbor of yours?
28136	How is this? 28136 Is that it?"
28136	Such as what?
28136	Well, he looks at my marbles, and says,''Is that all you''ve got? 28136 What do you mean by that?"
28136	What do you mean by that?
28136	What does he do to make you mad with him?
28136	CAN you guess what she was?
28136	Do you know what he meant?
28136	Do you not think she was a funny kitty?
28136	How dare you thus brave a drake of renown?"
28136	How is this?"
28136	If he should ask for it, what would he say?
28136	It always answered to my call, And thrust its wet nose through The bars, and tried its very best To say,"How do you do?"
28136	King Drake is in trouble: is nobody near?"
28136	Madam Quack with your young in your track, Quite early they''re out, What are they about-- Those bright little things With their short downy wings?
28136	One morning, Teddikins put a saucer of milk on the floor and what do you suppose that little Spitfire did?
28136	What care I if the storm, then, without, be high or low?
28136	What do you suppose it was?
28136	What do you suppose she did?
28136	said Herbie,"did n''t I tell you my kite would beat yours all to nothing?
40752	ARE you waking?
40752	Are you waking, flowers that slumber In the deep and frosty ground? 40752 What do I want of these toys?"
40752	What is the matter, John?
40752	What next? 40752 What''s the matter, little girl?"
40752	Where are my apples?
40752	Why are you not playing with your toys?
40752	Why was I so silly as to choose them, when aunt Susan would have given me a microscope?
40752	AND who is this, looking out from amid the holly- bushes, this cold winter day?
40752	But may it not be the form or dress of the shepherd that the sheep know, and follow him?
40752	Do you hear what we are breathing To the listening world around?
40752	Do you know the joy we bring you In the merry Christmas bells?
40752	Have you caught them in your dreaming, Brook and rill in snowy dells?
40752	Having done this so that the basket stood firm, he said,"What is the next thing to do?
40752	How could any bird be afraid of such a dear child?
40752	Is it too late?"
40752	It is not afraid of baby?
40752	What can have become of poor Walter?"
40752	What does he see that makes him jump up and down with joy?
40752	What was now the first thing to be done?
40752	When dinner is ended, what sound do we hear From holly- deck''d parlor ring merry and clear?
40752	Who would have thought to see it shy, and kick up, and throw Albert off?
40752	Whose sweet, merry, roguish face is this?
40752	Why did he look up the chimney?
40752	Why should it be?
40752	Would you like to hear it?
40752	shout the breezes To the tree- tops waving high,"Do n''t you hear the happy tidings Whispered to the earth and sky?
40752	who would have thought to see it play the gay horse in earnest?
28137	''But did she behave herself?'' 28137 Sure enough, where was Clara?
28137	Well, Ruth, shall we accept the invitation?
28137	Why, mamma,said I,"how do you know?
28137	And pray what is pussy about?
28137	But do you know that most of the stars, too, rise and set in this same way?
28137	Do we go to school?
28137	Does it rise and set in the same place?
28137	For that they are beauties all the hens agree: Can you wonder Top- knot should so happy be?
28137	How, then, can they be said to rise and set?
28137	NOW, what is all this noise about?
28137	NOW, who can find out What these three little ones are about?
28137	Now, what can be the matter?
28137	Shall I tell you what he did last summer?"
28137	Soon more hens are missing!--are they lost or hid?
28137	The mischief done, who could scold those two bright, hard- working little men?
28137	Think you they''ll surprise us just as Top- knot did?
28137	WHAT should we do in our house if it were not for our Aunt Matilda?
28137	WHAT sort of insects are a- phi´des?
28137	Was n''t that a bright idea for a little boy five and a half years old?
28137	Were you there?"
28137	What can he want?"
28137	What was her name, grandma?"
28137	What_ should_ we all do without Aunt Matilda?
28137	When about to pluck a rose- bud, have you not started sometimes to find it covered with little green insects?
28137	and they ran to the barn, he following; and where do you suppose the squashes were?
28138	Billy, what are you doing?
28138	What are they? 28138 What can it be?"
28138	Where''s your game, Ralph?
28138	--"Did you?"
28138	A JOLLY old cooper am I, And I''m mending this tub, do you see?
28138	A PACKAGE came, With Gold- Locks''name Written in letters bold and free Upon the cover: She turned it over, And cried,"Is it for me, for me?"
28138	And how did they ever get up on her back?
28138	But I think I hear the larger girl, who is standing up, say to the sitters,"Children, do n''t you know better than to sit there on the damp earth?
28138	DID you ever go chestnut- gathering?
28138	Did they run up her slender legs, and crowd and cling on?
28138	How do you suppose she does?
28138	How should she get back her lost pet?
28138	Is she calling her mamma?
28138	Lizards?"
28138	Or was it the first day of May to her?
28138	Shall I stay, and confess it was I?
28138	To face them now, how shall I dare?
28138	Was she giving them an airing, and showing them the world?
28138	What care the little pigs below?
28138	What does our baby say?
28138	What does she mean?
28138	What''s this?
28138	Where''s the tub?
28138	[ Illustration] A doll?

28138	and had her landlord forced her out of her house because she could not pay the rent?
28138	or had the broom of some housemaid swept away her web, and forced her thus to take flight to save her family from destruction?
28134	Are gophers so very industrious, then?
28134	But what if you did not want to be blown ashore?
28134	But what''s the name of the new sloop?
28134	How do you know he is coming?
28134	If you were holding the tiller, and I were to say,''Larboard''or''port,''what should you do?
28134	Is that so?
28134	What sort of a craft do you call this?
28134	You rogue, you expect me to be at the launch, eh?
28134	[ Illustration: N]OW, boys,said Uncle Martin,"if you were at sea in a vessel like this, what should you do when you saw a squall coming up?"
28134	And where''s the rudder?"
28134	Are you going out for a walk?
28134	Does he ever kick?
28134	Have n''t you all seen one many a time?
28134	How do you suppose they take fire?
28134	Humming and coming Close to my ear: Shall I never be quiet?
28134	Is it much about?
28134	Is that horse of yours safe?
28134	Look here, Henry, where is the stern?"
28134	So I thought,"What can a little boy do?
28134	So, when his dream was over, What should that little boy do?
28134	Two or three days after, I saw three more little green eggs, and pretty soon what did I see there but four little cunning baby- birdies?
28134	What can I do?
28134	What do you think I saw?
28134	Which did I favor in my heart,--Mousie, or Breezy?
28134	Will mousie give her another chance?
28134	You come all the bolder?
28134	You know better than that; but do you know what does happen when a star falls?
28134	You will not?
28134	[ Illustration] You dare to defy me?
28134	does n''t that look sharp?
28134	what can I do to please everybody?"
28143	ARE there any people besides Esquimaux in the snow- country?
28143	And did you find my stockings, which were missing from last week''s wash?
28143	Did n''t I see one in Barnum''s menagerie?
28143	Did you see that?
28143	How much shall I pay you?
28143	Mother, what day was it that you lost your wedding- ring?
28143	Oh, can I go? 28143 Oh, it''s important, is it?"
28143	WHY must I go to sleepy- land, sleepy- land, sleepy- land? 28143 What can it be?"
28143	_ Will_ you tell us a story?
28143	And now can you tell me in what part of the State of New York are the Adirondack Mountains?
28143	And what do you think it was?
28143	And why?
28143	Are you going to tell us your secret?"
28143	Can I go?"
28143	Can you not guess it?"
28143	How shall I get there?
28143	Is Tony sick?
28143	Is pussy stolen?
28143	Is the canary dead?
28143	MAY I tell the readers of"The Nursery"how happy two little boys were made this evening by the arrival of a present from a kind friend?
28143	No sooner was she seated at the table in her high- chair, than papa said,"Well, Pansy, how much longer are you going to keep us in the dark?
28143	She put down her spelling- book, and asked,"Who can that be, mamma?"
28143	The next morning, as she was coming down stairs, she paused, and said to herself,"Shall I tell them my secret now?
28143	Trot, trot away, And tell me, pray, How many miles we have gone to- day?
28143	We must not go So fast, my darling; for do n''t you know, At such a pace, So like a race, We never shall come to a sleepy- place?
28143	What would those cubs have done without their mother?"
28143	Why did I come here?
28143	Why must I go to sleepy- land So early in the evening?
28143	has she come back so soon?"
42160	But are you not tired with walking so far?
42160	Halloa, what''s down in that corner?
42160	Sweet wild flowers, oh, where are you hiding? 42160 What in the world have you there?"
42160	Why, what did you bring that for?
42160	Will you not come to see us some day, madam?
42160	You are not going to take it home with you, are you?
42160	And what do you mean by your chatter?
42160	Can you guess why?
42160	Do you know what a ranche is?
42160	In what hidden nook are you biding?
42160	Is it not a pretty name?
42160	Now what do you suppose it was?
42160	This boy, being somewhat selfish, was not a favorite with the little ones, one of whom whispered to another,"I hope it is n''t for him, do n''t you?
42160	WHEN will the snow come, mother dear?
42160	What do you suppose he has brought?"
42160	What is he doing?
42160	What shall I do?"
42160	When will the soft white snow be here?
42160	Where do you suppose Jimmy goes to school?
42160	Who wants to spend a day in the woods?"
42160	You sit on the barn- roof by dozens,-- Aunts, grandmothers, uncles, and cousins; You circle and wheel, then you twitter away: Oh, what are you saying?
42160	[ Illustration] They were about to take their seats in the wagon, when aunt Jane said,"Where''s Johnny?

42160	what can be the matter?
42160	where are you?"
42160	why be sorry autumn''s here?
14335	Are you telling the truth?
14335	But who''ll write the verses for us?
14335	Do the other birds take care of these young ones that are not their own?
14335	Is there any American bird that acts like the cuckoo?
14335	What does the bird feed on?
14335	What shall we do to celebrate our dear grandmother''s birthday?
14335	Where does it build its nest?
14335	Why does it go so early?
14335	Why is it called the cuckoo?
14335	Are you not well fed and well taken care of?
14335	Are you the one to complain?
14335	Darling little warblers, coming in the spring, Would you know the reason that you love to sing?
14335	Did you ever hear the note of the cuckoo?"
14335	Has she come to take you away from us?
14335	His father called and called,"Boy Blue, Boy Blue, where are you?
14335	I could not help thinking, how well for them, that they did not stop, like Lottie, to ask,"Why?"
14335	I''m the golden Summer: Is there for the young or old a more welcome comer?
14335	In a few minutes the master called her, and, as she came running to him, he said:"Will you promise me, Katie, never again to say what is not true?"
14335	Is not good health better than fine clothes?
14335	Is she not a dear little thing?
14335	Little ferns and grasses, all so green and bright, Purple clover nodding, daisies fresh and white, Would you know the reason all the world is gay?
14335	Lottie is always asking,"Why?"
14335	No boys were admitted; for boys will make fun: Now which do you think was the dolly that won?
14335	Pretty little violets, waking from your sleep, Fragrant little blossoms, just about to peep, Would you know the reason all the world is gay?
14335	What can we do for him?
14335	What does it mean?"
14335	When papa says,"Little daughter, I want you to do an errand for me,"Lottie whines, and asks,"_ Why_ ca n''t Benny do it?"
14335	Where are you?"
14335	Which will you do,--lose your place in my heart, or go stand in the corner for a quarter of an hour?"
14335	Who, then, told you to?"
14335	Why do you not look after the sheep and cows?
14335	You want to go with her?
14335	You_ had_ to?
14335	[ Illustration: Father& Duck] Next, he went to the pond; and a great fat duck came out to meet him; and he said,"Duck, duck, have you seen Boy Blue?"
14335	[ Illustration: Father& Horse] Then Boy Blue''s father went to the pasture, and said,"Horse, horse, have you seen Boy Blue?"
14335	[ Illustration: Father& Oxen] Next he went to the field where the oxen were ploughing, and said,"Oxen, oxen, have you seen Boy Blue?"
14335	[ Illustration: Hen& Chicks] Boy Blue''s father then went to the men who were making hay, and said,"Men, men, have you seen my Boy Blue?"
14335	_ Why_ need I come in now?"
14335	cried the schoolmaster,"why do you come so late?
14335	she answers, very pleasantly,"What, ma''am?"
28132	''Am I to be ruled by these children?'' 28132 BUT do they all love Freddy, mamma?"
28132	But does the old cow love me, mamma?
28132	But does the seal have feet?
28132	Now tell us why did you go to sleep?
28132	Shall Sport go with us?
28132	Sport, where is Elfrida?
28132	Then off should whirl in a mad career, And leave it all night and winter here,-- No blue in the sky, no flower to cheer? 28132 WHY DID ELFRIDA GO TO SLEEP?"
28132	What does it mean? 28132 Where can she be?"
28132	Why did Elfrida go to Sleep?
28132	Why did you go to sleep?
28132	Why, did n''t she let you play with her calf, and never try to hook you? 28132 Will you promise not to tell anybody, if I tell you?"
28132	Yes, mamma; but why, why, do they love me? 28132 Yes, why, why, did you go to sleep?"
28132	And we call the old mother-- now, what do you think?
28132	Can you think of any thing else in the sky that you would like to know a little about?
28132	Do n''t you think it is a pretty sight to see a kitten drinking milk?
28132	Early next morning, Miss Eliza went into the schoolroom to let Kitty out; and what do you think she saw?
28132	Had she been run over by a fast horse?
28132	Had she run a thorn into her foot, and been lamed?
28132	Had she stopped to talk with the children on their way home from school?
28132	How long have I been here?"
28132	I think we shall call her this-- I think we shall call her that; Now, do n''t you fancy"Pepper- pot"A nice name for a cat?
28132	I think we shall call her this-- I think we shall call her that; Now, do n''t you fancy"Sootikin"A nice name for a cat?
28132	I think we shall call him this-- I think we shall call him that; Now, do n''t you fancy"Scratchaway"A nice name for a cat?
28132	OUR old cat has kittens three; What do you think their names should be?
28132	Spicer''s?"
28132	The person who says that no one loves him should ask himself the question,''But do I love any one?''"
28132	Was n''t that a nice surprise?
28132	Were there ever kittens with these to compare?
28132	What could be the matter?
28132	What do you think, children, of boys and girls who lie on the floor, and kick up their heels in the air?
28132	What for?"
28132	Where are you going?
28132	Where are you, old fellow?"
28132	Which do you suppose is the larger,--the moon, or the stars?
28132	[ Illustration: T]HAT was the question,"Why did Elfrida go to sleep?"
28132	[ Illustration] WHY DO THEY ALL LOVE FREDDY?
28132	[ Illustration]"Did I not tell you that the old sow loved you, like the rest?"
28132	_ Insurrection_ is a big word: what does it mean, I wonder?

40753	Barked at him?
40753	DID I ever tell you how I lost my red coral beads, and where they were found?
40753	Did somebody snip it with scissors Or pinch it off in the door? 40753 There, my little man; now do you know what is in the chest?"
40753	What comes next?
40753	What does that mean? 40753 What is in the attic?"
40753	''They were in the porcupine- box,''continued mother;''and now how came they there?''
40753	40 Why would n''t the Kite fly?
40753	And now, what should they do next?
40753	Bertie walks slowly toward the door, but stops halfway there, and asks,"Is it April- fool''s Day?"
40753	CAN any one of my young readers guess from the picture what the horse is doing to the dog?
40753	Did you ever see a kitten Without a tail, before?"
40753	Do n''t you hear the sound of their hammers?
40753	Do you know what that means?
40753	Does it tell about the time when you were a little girl?
40753	How can you get in the house and out of the house, and nobody see you?"
40753	Jack pitched it this time, and what do you think happened?
40753	Marion shouted,"What in the world can ail This dear little baby- kitty, That she has n''t a bit of tail?

40753	said Marion puzzled, And wondering almost frowned,"What will she have to play with, And run after, round and round?
42156	Are you cold? 42156 Have you seen our little boy to- day?"
42156	What do you say?
42156	What do you want here?
42156	What''s that?
42156	Where can he be? 42156 Where can he be?"
42156	Where''s Parley- voo?
42156	Where_ can_ he be?
42156	Why do you stare at me so? 42156 ''Butterfly, have you seen a boy, with black eyes, rosy cheeks, and curly hair?'' 42156 ''Little bird, have you seen a small boy with curly hair? 42156 ''Squirrel, have you seen a boy with rosy cheeks?'' 42156 A bird in the tree? 42156 And here is young Jane In bonnet so plain: And why is she looking up too? 42156 And what is he looking at? 42156 By and by he crawled out; and what do you think he had between his teeth? 42156 Can that be Charley? 42156 DID you ever see a raccoon? 42156 Do they seek at high noon For the man in the moon? 42156 Do you see that streak that looks like a silver ribbon? 42156 Do you want some milk?
42156	Do you want to come in?
42156	Do you want to eat me?
42156	How came the child in such a plight?
42156	How did he ever get up there with such little short legs?
42156	Is my little boy lost in the woods?
42156	Must I go home without him?
42156	Now, really, I wish that I knew?
42156	One pig, with rude manners, came boldly in front, And first gave a stare, and then gave a grunt, As much as to say,"What is that you have got?
42156	Or is it a star in the sky?
42156	Sometimes in the evening, after tea, they come to me, and say,"Papa, will you be the man in the moon and take us all a- sailing?"
42156	WHERE is Charley?
42156	Well, what was the end of it?
42156	What do you think the little chap did?

21047	And was not John happy too?
21047	And what became of them? 21047 And why did n''t he get to Boston before?"
21047	But is there a Christmas- tree? 21047 But why did you go?"
21047	But why?
21047	But why?
21047	Oh, you do n''t, eh? 21047 The captain_ had_ to let him go after that, did n''t he, grandma?"
21047	Then why did you jump down that steep place? 21047 What have you brought?"
21047	What is wrong with my feet?
21047	Where had John been all this time?
21047	Who comes? 21047 Why?"
21047	Why?
21047	Will you play with me? 21047 You object to that, do you?

21047	And does Santa Claus come with his trinkets, and his picture- books, as at the North?"
21047	And what does the man think who comes to see us?"
21047	And when, at last, he was let out, he did not ask,"Why?"

21047	Could you not see that it was a pit?"
21047	Do you think you deserve such a reproof?
21047	For it was a trick( and a bad trick) of his to say,"Why?"
21047	Have n''t you a word to say?
21047	Have n''t you a word to say?
21047	Here, little Alice, growing slightly jealous, exclaimed,"Did you like her better than you do mamma?"
21047	I have been in the house some days, and no one turned me out; so why should they now?"
21047	If I find you harming those birds, do you know what will happen?"
21047	Is he here too?
21047	Must she go?
21047	Must we lose him forever?
21047	Now, was n''t she truly kind?"
21047	Or, perhaps, the skaters Now attract you most: We are patient waiters-- Will you skate, or coast?
21047	Pray, what else would you like better than a beautiful spring dress?
21047	Then, with a groan, he went on to ask,"How_ is_ the black sheep?
21047	What is that harsh noise?
21047	What is that little girl doing in the central part of the picture?
21047	Why do n''t you make your father buy you a new spring dress, Rachel?
