30834Is that something_ horrid_?
30834It''s going down on my side; O dear, what shall I do?

30834Poor thing,she interrupted,"did you bind it up properly?"
30834Shall we put it in the back yard or in the stable?
30834She''s here now-- would you like to see her?
30834Such a pretty oak table and beautifully carved chairs; where did you get them from?
30834That was rather rough on them, eh?
30834They belong to the most intelligent of all creatures; who can build a fortress like the mole?

30834Why, what dirty little thing have you picked up? 30834 Will you come home and have supper with me?
30834Will you come in and have some breakfast?
30834Would n''t it make our eyes blink?
30834Yes, do n''t you think it is original and attractive?
30834You are lucky children, why does not the Hare come to England?
30834You are not bewitched, Rudie dear?
30834You are pleased to see us, are you not?
30834You have heard of trains, have n''t you? 30834 Young person answering to the name of Hansi Herzchen here?"
30834Zeppelin, no!--is he the King of Germany?
30834_ Age and date of birth?_he demanded of Hansi.
30834_ Dear, dear_,said Mr Easter Hare,"you found them of course in your garden, or----?"
30834_ Do_ you know which is the right finger?
30834_ What next?_said the poor Countess, holding up her hands in horror!
30834''This is most tiresome to behold; What shall I do?''
30834("However_ could_ he have known that?"
30834--"whatever shall I do now?"
30834A fox?
30834After all birds fly, bats fly and fairies fly, why should not ships and trains fly?"
30834All of a sudden the earth trembled-- was it an earthquake?
30834And did Hansi give the cake to her dwarf friends as she had promised to do?
30834And did Walter become a great poet?
30834But where was the beautiful palace on the Altkönig?
30834But why are you so pale?"
30834Can I be still dreaming?"
30834Could she expect that the dignified Mr Query would condescend to become an object of general curiosity?
30834Did he not hear them himself on the Old King''s Mountain, when he attended the Midsummer fête of the fairies?
30834Did he really come back to visit her as a grown man?
30834Did his ghost haunt it still?
30834Did they marry and live happy ever after?
30834Do you cry much?
30834Do you, I wonder, little children, who read this story?
30834Gretel had heard of the magic flower Moly which screamed when it was pulled up by the roots; could there be screaming bushes as well?
30834Gustel,"she said,"you are a Catholic and believe in the saints; they saw very queer things too, sometimes, did n''t they?"
30834Had he green ears as a mortal?
30834Have you a ventilating shaft?"
30834Have you ever been in love?"
30834He had a great mass of brown curly hair tumbling about his head; green ears-- it seemed to her,_ could_ it be possible?
30834He looked thoughtful and answered:"Of course, mother, I know; but this time I want to slay a''really and truly''dragon, may I?

30834How much have you got Karl?"
30834How should Walter reach this fairy palace?
30834I am sure_ he_ lives here; where are his little chairs and tables?
30834I beg your pardon I''m sure"--as they looked displeased again--"Now I am really curious to know-- have you heard of Zeppelin?"
30834I ca n''t remember if he had his red coat on, can you, Gretel?"
30834I could well believe it; for verily she has bewitched me; but who were her parents?
30834I do not think any one of us would have enjoyed it all alone at the dead of night, do you?
30834I suppose she wants to see it too?"
30834I think she richly deserved it-- don''t you?
30834I wonder where she lives?"
30834I would have liked to be present at their wedding, would n''t you?
30834Is it the wreathing smoke I see That forms itself so curiously?
30834Is n''t he a jolly old fellow?"
30834Is she really the granddaughter of a witch?
30834Is this the King Whom nations hail?
30834It seems as if we were meant to pull together, does n''t it?"
30834May we ask you for some more?"
30834Mrs Herzchen was very angry,"Why do n''t you mind your own business?"
30834Now was n''t that a queer thing, children, queerer than all the fairy stories you have read?
30834Now will you believe it they had never heard of the Zeppelin airship?"
30834Now, what_ can_ be the use of playing, I should like to know?"
30834O what are school and lessons, My little maiden, pray, If to the land of fairy They do not show the way?"
30834O, who will feed Lucky, and all the baby chickens; and my cats?"
30834On the third day of his visit, Ludwig said to the Emperor:"Would you care to see the walls?
30834Perhaps this was caused by the fairy candle, or perhaps it was Mother Holle''s doing-- who knows?
30834Shall I shoot the wizard?"
30834Should he go first to the Castle of Eppenhain and tell Babette''s foster- parents that he had found out where Babette was imprisoned?
30834So the children grew up happy and good, and what can you want to know more about them than that?
30834Stewed plums would do for pudding; but what about the soup and the joint?
30834Surely it was a bogey hole leading down to the bottomless pit?
30834Surely you have heard of me?"
30834THE DRAGON''S TAIL I wonder if the girls and boys who read these stories, have heard of the charming and romantic town of Eisenach?
30834The little maid was probably Elsa; but where was she?
30834The next day was his birthday, and what do you think he had as a present?
30834The nixy maidens readily complied: was not singing their most natural mode of expressing themselves?
30834The servants watched them with astonishment; they too said:"What next?"
30834Trudel continued,"You are surely not a tree?"
30834WHAT''S THE USE OF IT?
30834Walter could hear the tinkle tinkle of sheep bells below, or was it possible that he could already hear the bells of fairyland ringing?

30834Wood water, Wood wine, Wo n''t you drink it up?"
30834You are my fairy princess-- I love you with all my heart, and I want you to promise me to be my little wife-- will you?"
30834You would_ never_ cut me down, would you?"
30834You_ are_ fond of dreaming, are n''t you?"
30834_ Married or single?_ Here Hansi giggled, and he entered solemnly the word"_ spinster_."
30834_ Occupation?_"Please sir, I go to school and learn my lessons, but I play a good deal too."
30834_ Would_ you like some wood wine?"
30834and do n''t you think you can see just a glimmer of silver through the door?"
30834answered the children,"but where is your wife?
30834did_ you_ hear anything, mother?"
30834he said, making a horribly wry face,"what stuff, child, do you want to make me sick?"
30834how has she repaid me for all my kindness and for all the honours I have conferred on her?"
30834said Norah,"but why?"
