14508And working?
14508Are n''t you glad?
14508Are you ready, all of you?
14508Are you ready, mother?

14508Dear Santa Claus, you do n''t mind my laughing at you, do you?
14508Do n''t you remember, Walter?
14508Do n''t you remember?
14508Do you know what I enjoy most at Christmas time?
14508Do you suppose, says WALTER, that if I woke up some night, and came and looked in here, I''d see the brownies working or playing?

14508GERTRUDE asks, Shall I wait till everybody else is served, before I begin?
14508GRANDMOTHER asks, Is everything ready for the Christmas dinner tomorrow?
14508Grandfather, asks WALTER, do you wish that you could have stayed on being a little boy, always?
14508Grandmother, she says, did you see the brownies, too, when you were a little girl?
14508Grandmother, who is the youngest this year?

14508How long is it since you were our age?
14508How many house- fairies were there, Grandmother, asks GERTRUDE eagerly, and where did you see them, and what did they do?
14508How was it different, grandmother?
14508I have n''t said anything about them, have I?
14508I think I''d made a real cunning little girl, do n''t you?
14508Is everything all ready for tomorrow?
14508Is it good, Walter?
14508Is n''t it nice to be the youngest?
14508Is n''t it time now, mother?

14508Is this you, grandfather?
14508Is your work all done?
14508May we come in now?
14508Merry as crickets?
14508No, WALTER corrects her, that was afterwards; do n''t you remember, Gertrude?
14508No, says GERTRUDE, I''m not a bit tired; are you, Walter?
14508Now is n''t that a shame?
14508Nuts?
14508Oh, Mother, exclaims GERTRUDE, are n''t you younger than Father?

14508Playing?
14508Plum pudding?
14508Really?
14508SANTA CLAUS says to them, Did you stick them in?
14508SANTA CLAUS smiles down at them, and, shaking the hands that hold his, says, How are you all?
14508Shall I tell you what it was?
14508Shall I?
14508So I''m the youngest still?
14508The brownies?
14508The first one to speak is the GRANDMOTHER, and this is what she says: Have n''t you nearly finished, Mary?
14508What about the brownies?
14508What do you think I''d better do with them?
14508What have you children been doing all the afternoon?
14508What shall we choose?
14508What sort of a Christmas play do the boys and girls like, and in what sort do we like to see them take part?
14508What time will the dinner begin, grandfather?
14508What would people say, if they heard that a man hundreds of years old like me, has been romping around that way?
14508What''s this?
14508What?
14508What?
14508Where are the children?
14508Where did you used to see them?
14508Where is she?
14508Who can it be, I wonder?
14508Why, James, exclaims MOTHER, what are you doing?
14508Why, what''s this?
14508Will I be helped first to the goose and the apple sauce?
14508Will you help me?

20425''What are those things on the tree?'' 20425 ''Who''s been telling you that?''
20425--for you and the other idle hussies to gape and grin at? 20425 About me?"
20425And do you go out in the snow from one house to another at night? 20425 And what''s Pax to be?"
20425Are they?
20425Are you a Yorkshirewoman, Sarah?
20425But will mamma let us?
20425But you understand Yorkshire, do n''t you? 20425 By and by I asked,''How old is Father Christmas?''
20425Could n''t we make a coffin, and pretend the body was inside?
20425Did he say I was to give up the bricks?
20425Do n''t you? 20425 Do you know whom you''re talking to?"
20425Five and two make seven,said the old man, with a grim smile;"what do you do for the eighth?"
20425Has he broken his promise?
20425Have you ever noticed that your tongues are growing pointed?
20425Have you spoken to your mistress?
20425How did you know it was n''t true?
20425How do you know it was in your place?
20425I''m very much afraid,said the hot- tempered gentleman, in solemn measured tones,"that you are both of you-- fast-- going-- to-- the--""Dogs?"
20425I''ve no doubt of it,thought the Captain, but he only said,"Well, what''s the matter?"
20425May n''t I go to bed, please?
20425My Man Jack, what can the matter be? 20425 Not those creatures?"
20425Now do you think it''s true?
20425Oh, do you?
20425Oh, wo n''t you? 20425 Only when the old man shouldered his tree, and prepared to move on, I cried in despair,''Oh, are you going?''
20425Pleasant, is n''t it?
20425Sarah, who is that tall old gentleman at church, in the seat near the pulpit? 20425 She''s so good, is she?"
20425That made your hair curl, did n''t it?
20425Then are you the mummers who come round at Christmas, and act in people''s kitchens, and people give them money, that Mamma used to tell us about?
20425Then it''s not true?
20425Then what are you always crying over it for?
20425Then why do n''t you?
20425We''re Christmas mummers,said Robin, stoutly;"we do n''t know the way to the back door, but--""And do n''t you know better than to come here?"
20425Well, did you?
20425Well, was it?
20425What did you tell me so for?
20425What do you mean?
20425What for?
20425What is it, please?
20425What is it?
20425What is the matter, Mamma?
20425What''s that you are laughing at, little miss? 20425 What_ are_ you stopping for?"
20425When will it be done?
20425Where shall we go first?
20425Which is Dora?
20425Who goes there?
20425Who says so?
20425Who sent you here?
20425Who''s Sarah?
20425Who''s there,she said,"at this time of night?"
20425Whose memory''s in fault there?
20425Why, who should say so? 20425 Why?"
20425Would n''t it?
20425Would_ you_ like it?
20425You''re laughing now, little master, are you? 20425 ''Did n''t you promise your ma you''d leave off them tricks?'' 20425 ''Who goes there?'' 20425 After a pause he held up the tree, and cried,''D''ye know what this is, little miss?'' 20425 And Master Robert would n''t be so mean as to tell tales, would he, love?
20425And what fine sights pray have you seen?
20425Are you the doctor?
20425Art thou come with sword in hand, Against St. George and Christendom so rashly to withstand?
20425But he smiled in such a satisfactory manner, that Patty went on,''You''re very old, are n''t you?''
20425But-- to begin with--_do_ you"all"want them?
20425Did your mother send you here?"
20425Disable, disable?
20425Do you remember the delightful effect of the tribe of oysters?
20425Dost think that no man of thy age Dares such a black as thee engage?
20425Have you got a headache?
20425How canst thou break my head?
20425How far?
20425I leant towards Father Christmas, and shouted-- I had found out that it was needful to shout--"''I suppose the candles are on the tree now?''
20425I might ha''knowed they were n''t like common mummers, but I was so flusterated hearing the bell go so late, and--""Are they ready?"
20425I think, my dear Rouge Pot, that you were taken to see that splendid exhibition of stage properties,_ Babil and Bijou_?
20425Is there never a doctor to be found Can cure my son of his deep and deadly wound?
20425It''s_ pannier_, is it?
20425May Robin put the shovel in the fire for you?
20425Now, Prince of Paradine, where have you been?
20425Shall I take them to the kitchen, sir?"
20425So far, and no farther?
20425The thought which agitated us both, was this--''Was Father Christmas bringing the tree to us?''
20425What can you cure?
20425What havoc hast thou made?
20425What is going to happen to them?"
20425What is this thou hast done?
20425What must I do to raise him up again?
20425What''s amiss with thy back?
20425What''s your fee to cure this poor man?
20425What''s your fee?
20425Where have I been, pray?"
20425Where is the Turk that will before me stand?
20425Which ear will you have it on?"
20425Who did him slay, who did him kill, And on the ground his precious blood did spill?
20425Who is it seeks the Dragon''s blood, And calls so angry and so loud?
20425Why should I him deny?
20425[_ Aside._] Well, how far have you travelled in doctorship?
20425and oh, do n''t you enjoy it?"
20425cried Mr. Skratdj,"Did n''t I tell you I was not to be disturbed this morning?
40729(_ Makes sign to Bob, who extinguishes his candle and puts on his hat and enters._) You''ll want all day to morrow, I suppose?
40729And Martha warn''t as late last Christmas Day by half an hour?
40729Are there no work- houses?
40729B._ Mr. Scrooge?
40729B._ Oh, sir, how can we ever sufficiently manifest our gratitude for such unexpected generosity?
40729B._ To whom will our debt be transferred?
40729Bed curtains?
40729But why do spirits walk the earth, and why do they come to me?
40729But, however and whenever we part from one another, I am sure we shall none of us forget poor Tiny Tim, shall we?
40729C._ And how did little Tim behave?
40729C._ Knew what, my dear?
40729C._ What has ever got your precious father, then?
40729Cold, is n''t it?
40729Come, dine with us to- morrow?
40729Do you know whether they''ve sold the prize turkey that was hanging up there?
40729Do you remember this?
40729Eh?
40729Even if I have grown so much wiser, what then?
40729Have I not?
40729Have I the pleasure of addressing Mr. Scrooge, or Mr. Marley?
40729Have you had many brothers, Spirit?
40729I am not changed toward you,(_ She shakes her head._) Am I?
40729If I was to stop half- a- crown for it you''d think yourself ill- used, I''ll be bound?
40729If this had never been between us, tell me, would you seek me out and try to win me now?
40729Is it good or bad?
40729Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow?
40729Is its pattern strange to_ you_?
40729Is that so much that he deserves your praise?
40729Is that so, Spirit?
40729K._ Guess?
40729K._ How can I?
40729K._ Who was it?
40729Laughter and merriment to follow Scrooge''s speech.__ Spir._ Do you know it?
40729M._ And did you not sacrifice your love in releasing him?
40729M._ If he wanted to keep''em after he was dead, the wicked old Screw, why was n''t he natural in his life time?
40729M._ Is it a bear?
40729M._ Is it a pig?
40729M._ Whose else''s do you think?
40729M._ Why, then, do n''t stand staring as if you was afraid, woman; who''s the wiser?
40729M._ You wish to be anonymous?
40729May I make bold to enquire what business has brought you here?
40729My dear Mr. Scrooge, are you really serious?
40729Not the little prize turkey; the big one?
40729Ought we not demand an explanation?
40729Poor Robin Crusoe, where have you been, Robin Crusoe?
40729R._ What has he done with his money?
40729R._ When did he die?
40729S._ Why, what was the matter with him?
40729SCENE I.--_Scrooge''s chambers.__ Scrooge discovered upon his knees.__ Scro._ Can this be the Spirit of Christmas Future that I see approaching?
40729Say that his power lives in words and looks; in things so light and unsignificant that it is impossible to add and count''em up; what then?
40729Shall it be blind man''s buff?
40729So Old Scratch has got his own, at last, hey?
40729Spirit and Scrooge following, coming down front, and observing with interest all that passes.__ Bob._ Why, where''s our Martha?
40729Spirit, are they yours?
40729Suppose we have a game?
40729Suppose we make up a party and volunteer?
40729There, now guess?
40729Tiny Tim, what do you say to that?
40729Tut, do n''t I know(_ laughingly_), Mr. Scrooge?
40729We''re not going to pick holes in each other''s coats, I suppose?
40729Were there no poor houses to which its light would have conducted_ me_?
40729What do you mean by coming here?
40729What do you say to a game?
40729What do you want with me?
40729What do_ you_ say, Topper?
40729What news?
40729What odds, Mrs. Dilber?
40729What reason have you to be merry?
40729What reason have you to be morose?
40729What right have you to be dismal?
40729What right have you to be merry?
40729What say you to the charge?
40729What shall I do?
40729What shall I put you down for?
40729What then?
40729What''s the consequence?
40729Who suffers by his ill whims?
40729Who''s next?
40729Who''s the worse for the loss of a few things like these?
40729Why do you delight to torture me?
40729Why do you point away?
40729Why does he not go on?
40729Why give it as a reason for not coming now?
40729Why have shown me all that you have, if I am past all hope?
40729Why not?
40729Why?
40729Will you come and see me?
40729Will you do me the favor?
40729Will you let me in?
40729Will you not speak to me?
40729Would it apply to any kind of dinner on this day?
40729You do n''t mean that, I''m sure?
40729You see this tooth- pick?
40729You went to- day, then, Robert?
40729You''re not a skater, I suppose?
40729[_ Exeunt._]_ Scro._ Spirit, is there a peculiar flavor in what you sprinkle from your torch?
40729[_ Shakes chain and wrings his hands._]_ Scro._ You are fettered; tell me why?
40729_ Enter Mr. Barnes_, L.,_ passes across stage; Scrooge follows and stops him.__ Scro._ My dear sir(_ taking both, his hands_), how do you do?
40729_ Fred._ But why?
40729_ Fred._ I want nothing from you; I ask nothing of you; why can not we be friends?
40729_ Fred._ What is it?
40729_ Gho._ Man of the worldly mind, do you believe in me, or not?
40729_ Gho._ Slow?
40729_ Gho._ What evidence do you require of my reality beyond that of your senses?
40729_ Gho._ Why do you doubt your senses?
40729_ Gho._ You do n''t believe in me?
40729_ Joe._ His blankets?
40729_ Joe._ What do you call wasting of it?
40729_ Joe._ You do n''t mean to say you took''em down, rings and all, with Old Scrooge lying there?
40729_ Joe._(_ Opening bundle._) What do you call this?
40729_ Julia._ Is it a tiger?
40729_ Mrs B._ We are quite ruined?

40729_ Scro._ Do you know the poulterers in the next street but one, at the corner?
40729_ Scro._ Going to church, eh?
40729_ Scro._ Have they no refuge or resource?
40729_ Scro._ How long since you contracted the debt?
40729_ Scro._ Is it?
40729_ Scro._ Is that the chance and hope you mentioned, Jacob?
40729_ Scro._ Long past?
40729_ Scro._ Spirit, tell me if Tiny Tim will live?
40729_ Scro._ The tread- mill and the poor law are in full vigor, then?
40729_ Scro._ To- night?
40729_ Scro._ What else can I be when I live in such a world of fools as this?
40729_ Scro._ What right have you to be passing here to remind me that it is Christmas?
40729_ Scro._ What would you have me do?
40729_ Scro._ What''s to day my fine fellow?
40729_ Scro._ Where have I heard those words?
40729_ Scro._ Who are you?
40729_ Scro._ Who, and what are you?
40729_ Scro._ Who_ were_ you then?
40729_ Scro._ Why did you get married?

58546Do you think there''d be any harm in it, if I was to bring her over and let her get one peep?
58546Do you want the treat right off?
58546Do you, Toinette?
58546Does n''t thee remember how he taught us to shoot, and make baskets for thee and the girls?
58546Does n''t thee wish it was Father''s vessel, Roger?
58546Does n''t thee wish so, Desire?
58546Does thee mean truly, Mother?
58546Does thee think it would make it any easier for her to be good, Roger?
58546Does thee think, lad, that savage though thou art, I would drive thee out into the bitter night?
58546Dost see, woman, how swiftly thy ungodly example doth work to corrupt these wenches?
58546Dost think the Christmas boughs in England could have been prettier?
58546Dot, do you want my handkerchief?
58546Dutch, you are n''t worth your salt-- can''t you take care of your stuff?
58546Fern seed?
58546Fern- seed broth?
58546Firm like yourself?
58546Following straight the Noël star?
58546For little children:"Can There Be a Sweeter Story?"
58546Got a Times, boy?
58546Has anything happened?
58546Has n''t he always hunted wolves, every winter?
58546Has n''t it been too hard for poor Brother Sebastian, Brethren?
58546Hast ever seen them, Gillian?
58546Have I not given command that my son''s name shall not pass the lips of any of my people?
58546Have n''t I always maintained that there are two ways of looking at anything?
58546Have n''t you ever seen him?
58546Have n''t you got any sled?
58546Have n''t you heard the parson tell the story of how the bears ate the children who mocked Elisha?
58546Have the dog and the monkey got some other names, too?
58546Have they heard of the tree?
58546Have they, my dear?
58546Have ye tested the walls?
58546Have you a moment to spare for a stranger in the country?
58546Have you got something for everybody?
58546Have you got the papers?
58546Have you lost your way?
58546Have you never heard of the Babushka, Baron?
58546Have you sold all your papers?
58546He can stay as long as he likes, may n''t he, Mother?
58546He wants them all filled with presents for himself.... What''s that you say?
58546Heard whom talking, Diccon?
58546Here, Tim, you run out and telephone to---- Simpson, is it?
58546Hey?
58546Hiding from me?
58546How about lessons?
58546How about the service-- are the maids attentive, Laura?
58546How can I be happy?
58546How could I be cold with a great big coat like this one?
58546How dare you enter this house whence you went but to disgrace my name?
58546How darest thou, with these baubles and fripperies, bring temptation into our very midst?
58546How did thee find Mistress Wells, Mother?
58546How did you get lost?
58546How do you do, Toinette?
58546How do you do, sir, how do you do?
58546How do you do, sir, how do you do?
58546How do you know he did?
58546How do you sell''em, Dutch?
58546How does thee know?
58546How in the world did you get in here?
58546How knew you this?
58546How would you like that?
58546How would you like to go and live with her, and wait on her, and help mind her baby?
58546How''d dat chile''s sho''t legs ebber do ten mile, anyhow?
58546How''d you say you come?
58546How''ll they know?
58546How''s this?
58546Hungry, Eaglefeather?
58546I brought it last night, to have it all ready, and I think it ought to hold enough for all, do n''t you?
58546I do treat you shamefully, do n''t I?
58546I hope you''s feelin''pretty peart?
58546I said, have ye sane it?
58546I say, Miss Catherine, do you think anybody''d mind?
58546I suppose it''s for some Christmas Tree?
58546I told little Prudence she was too young to understand, yet with my years, am I quite sure that I understand it myself?
58546I wish you would stop that everlasting work and come here and tell me why you''re sorry?
58546I wonder if it''s too late to get some children now?
58546I wonder who keeps house for Santa Claus?
58546I wonder why he likes to come down chimneys?
58546I''d just like to know who has a better right to make a noise than I?
58546If Santa Claus has to remember all the letters all the children in the world write him every year, should n''t you think his head must ache?
58546In good sooth, how can I tell?
58546In my spick- span new mittens that Aunt Jennie made me?
58546Invisible?
58546Is all ready, Roger?
58546Is he diligent?
58546Is it a circus, Sally?
58546Is it a circus?
58546Is it freaks, Sally?
58546Is it made of sugar?
58546Is marbles worth a dollar apiece?
58546Is my hat on straight?
58546Is n''t it lots of fun to sell papers and earn money?
58546Is n''t it, Mother?
58546Is n''t it_ beautiful_, Eaglefeather?
58546Is n''t that fine?
58546Is n''t this boy named Peter?
58546Is she?
58546Is that pink and blue?
58546Is that so?
58546Is the Hundred there?
58546Is this like the boughs thee remembers when thee was a little girl, Mother?
58546Is this the Christmas spirit we talked of but now?
58546Is you gomf''table?
58546Is your house hard to find?
58546Is_ this_ the Christmas day, Mother?
58546It could n''t be nicer, could it, Dick?
58546It is n''t?
58546It is not so naughty as some things you might do, but it is making other people unhappy, and do n''t you think that is pretty bad?
58546It''s better than just comin''in like other folks, is n''t it, Bub?
58546Jim, is to- morrow Christmas?
58546Jiminy Christopher, how_ can_ she want five more?
58546Just a week from to- day?
58546Just plumb full?
58546Law, what would I have done when I was a young one, if I''d seen that?
58546Laws, honey, you didn''''spec''to fin''no circus dis time o''night?
58546Let him try it?...
58546Let''s see if you''ve got it now?
58546Listen, do you hear anything?
58546Look at her, the darling little girl, is n''t the very meaning and sweetness of all Christmas in her loving, trusting, innocent little face?
58546Love you, my child?
58546MRS. D. The bride?
58546Marianna, why would n''t Peter try?
58546Marie, how ever can I set the table with you and Jeannette in the way, I''d like to know?
58546May I let him in?
58546May n''t I put it in the cup that''s broken and light it?
58546May we, Mother?
58546May you come in?
58546Maybe you''ll do us the honor to tell us your names?
58546Mayhap thou thinkest_ my_ business is ever of small consequence?
58546Mercy, mercy, what is all this about?
58546Miss Catherine----[_ hesitates, then continues enthusiastically_]----have you seen''em in there?
58546Mother Madelon, may I come in?
58546Mother said it was the Lord''s birthday, and we could n''t help being glad about that, could we?
58546Mother, do n''t they love me at all?
58546Mother, do n''t you think it is too dark to spin?
58546Mother, does n''t thee sometimes wish we were all back in England once more?
58546Mr. Wright, how have these children been behaving themselves?
58546Must Eaglefeather go now?
58546Must n''t we hasten?
58546My mother says I''ve been a good girl-- aren''t you glad?
58546Name?
58546Naughty?
58546No, I do n''t believe he has, for then why do they let him do all the work?
58546No?...
58546Not after all the bitter cold winters and hardships here, Mother?
58546Not anything for anybody else?
58546Not make a noise?
58546Not nothing for Ben?
58546Now I wonder if he would do that?
58546Now what''s to do?
58546Now, Miss Tibbs, what kind of scent will you have on your hands?
58546Now, Mother, ca n''t we sing our carol?
58546Now, ca n''t we have another song?
58546Now, dear, is n''t there_ one more_ you would like?
58546Now, do n''t you think Kitty''s altogether too big for dolls?
58546Now, do you suppose you can find anything for her?
58546Now, what may be the meaning of_ this_?
58546Now, whoever heard of such naughtiness?
58546Oh, Bub, I think our dad would like this, do n''t you?
58546Oh, Diccon, Diccon,--what can they want here?
58546Oh, Diccon, dost believe it?
58546Oh, Dick, I thought we were going to run over that poor gray cat, did n''t you?
58546Oh, Dimitri, why did n''t we beg the Babushka to take us home to the castle?
58546Oh, Dot, is n''t this fun?
58546Oh, Gillian,_ do_ they?
58546Oh, Henri, what is it?
58546Oh, Kitty, what shall we do when Santa Clans comes and asks us how we liked them?
58546Oh, Marianna, do n''t you wonder whom the good Fathers will choose?
58546Oh, Matrena, who can it be?
58546Oh, Mister Santa Claus, am I?
58546Oh, Mother dear, do you hear the singing?
58546Oh, Mother, do you truly think so?
58546Oh, Mother, must we stop now?
58546Oh, Myles, wo n''t thee please put the dishes up for us?
58546Oh, Patience, does n''t thee wish Mother''d come home?
58546Oh, Peter, see that place where there is n''t any dolly?
58546Oh, Rafe, think''st that Gillian speaketh true?
58546Oh, Rafe, what dost mean us to do?
58546Oh, Rafe, what was that?
58546Oh, Sal, what''s that?
58546Oh, Tibbie, what''ll I do?
58546Oh, Tibbie----[_ reaching the end of her good- nature_]----why did I ever think of bringing you here?
58546Oh, Uncle, dear Uncle, surely thou knowest some secret place in this old house where he can lie safe until danger be past?
58546Oh, are you really a fairy?
58546Oh, are you?
58546Oh, children, are you there?
58546Oh, dear, what shall I do about it?
58546Oh, did Eaglefeather make these lovely baskets for us?
58546Oh, do I dare use them?
58546Oh, do n''t you wish it was two_ girls_ the Fathers wanted?
58546Oh, do you mean to go around wherever I like without being seen?
58546Oh, do you suppose he would like it?
58546Oh, do you think the little Christ- Child can see it now, Mother?
58546Oh, is n''t it''most time to hang up the stockings?
58546Oh, is that yerself?
58546Oh, no, Sally, do n''t you remember?
58546Oh, what dost think the Roundhead villains will do to us?
58546Oh, what''s this?
58546Oh, what?
58546Oh, where can he have gone?
58546Oh, where?
58546Oh, you do?
58546Oh,_ did_ you?
58546Oh,_ will_ you, really?
58546Or hath thy grandam?
58546Or is she still far from that pinnacle of elegance to which she aspires?
58546Peter?
58546Phil, did you ever see anything so perfectly grand as that last window?
58546Phyllis, why art idling here with the children?
58546Please connect me with Santa Claus.... Hello, is that you, Santa?
58546Please, mister, is the circus all over?
58546Please-- please, sir, could you tell me the way back to the town?
58546Post, sir?
58546Presents?
58546Pretty severe on his brothers and sisters and parents, was n''t it?
58546Punish him?
58546Really and truly?
58546Right down this chimney?
58546Robin, what are you doing?
58546Roger, is the door fast?
58546Rufus, saidst thou?
58546Run away?
58546S''pose he would?
58546S''pose the boss''ll let us do a stunt like that?
58546S''posing we write a list of the things we want him to bring, too?
58546SIR G. What meaneth the child?
58546SIR G. What would you of me, my men?
58546SIR G. What, then, would you of me?
58546SIR G. You have taken up arms against your King?
58546Santa Claus, have you got the whip and ashes?
58546Say, Tom, do n''t you wish we could_ see_ Santa Claus?
58546Second, then?
58546Seen my duster, Tom?
58546Shall I get you a paper to write things down, so you wo n''t forget?
58546Shall I tell Santa Claus to make it out of rattan, Master Tom?
58546Shall it be Violet, or Roossian Empress, or-- what''s this other?--Lilass Blank?
58546Shall we go over the bump?
58546Shall we measure our garlands?
58546She looks a little like me, does n''t she, with her hair parted in the middle?
58546She said that you were naughty last night?
58546She taken, too?
58546She''s particular, ai n''t she?
58546Should I make my gifts to those who need,''Twould become a time of general greed, When all would think,"What shall we get?"
58546Should you like her as well?
58546Should you?
58546Sing to you?
58546So you want to look out-- see?
58546So you''ve been finding out that it is n''t so easy, after all, to give people what they want, have you?
58546Speaks gushingly._] Are n''t they lovely, the hundred of them?
58546Suppose we say this one with the forget- me- nots?
58546Sure you did your best, Tim?--you did n''t make him mad, maybe?
58546Surely I would rather look pretty myself than have my dress look pretty, would n''t I?
58546TOM_ sits down by the fire, holding his knee._] What do you want?
58546Tell us how you found out where we were, Father?
58546That all?
58546That one?
58546That''s to take place this afternoon?
58546The Babushka?
58546The Christmas Monks?
58546The Peter who works in our garden?
58546The Tower, saidst thou, Rafe?
58546The doll is broke, ai n''t it?
58546The good Fathers have already held two examinations and, will you believe it?
58546The poor old Babushka wondered very much, and said:"Who is the little child, my lord, that you should take such a long, hard journey to find him?"
58546The singing in our meeting on the Sabbath is n''t very joyful, is it, Myles?
58546The venison pasty, Rafe?
58546Thee surely wo n''t work any more to- night?
58546Then he does n''t often do anything wrong?
58546Then will you sing it for us, little maids?
58546Then you are not like other boys?
58546Then, Tom, how_ could_ you be so naughty?
58546There are n''t any bears or wolves coming, Pavlo?
58546There''s no need of me staying, is there?
58546They are n''t, are they, Gillian?
58546This is so cozy-- do you think you_ must_ rout me out?
58546Thou afeard, Diccon?
58546Thou''lt let me come too, Rafe?
58546Thou''lt not go back, then, Mother?
58546To work for me, Rich Johann, who has many servants in his house, to carry out his commands and do his work and run his errands?
58546Toinette, how would you like to be invisible?
58546Toinette, will you show me how to fasten this off?
58546Tom, do you want me to wrap up the knife for you?
58546Truly?
58546Und vat does ve get oud of ut?
58546Und ven der vork is ofer, ve do n''t gets noddings enough to eats-- ain''d?
58546Vot I tells you?

58546Vot you take me for, hein?
58546Wait a minute-- have you any fruit in your rooms?
58546Want something to eat?
58546Was Christmas like this in Old England?
58546Was anything broken?
58546Was ever heard tell of such insolence?
58546Was it excuse, ye said?
58546Was it the front door or the back door?
58546Was n''t everything in it that you asked for?
58546Was n''t that a nice coast, Dick?
58546Was the old woman in the forest all dressed in gray?
58546Was your stocking just awful full?
58546Wat you do here, in M''sieu Henri LeBreton''s room?
58546We all love Santa Claus, do n''t we?
58546We like this, do n''t we, Dot?
58546We''ll all be very, very good next year-- won''t we, children?
58546Well, Kitty, do you think Santa Claus could n''t_ read_ our letters?
58546Well, Mamma, do you think it''s so_ dread_fully naughty to be cross?
58546Well, Mamma, if a fellow did n''t_ feel_ cross at all, but had a very good reason for_ being_ cross, would that be naughty?
58546Well, Mother Madelon, have these children been very good indeed?
58546Well, Mr. Benjamin Franklin Bub, will you h''inform us where you''ails from?
58546Well, Tim, did you get Simpson?
58546Well, Tom, dear, do n''t you want to come and sit with Mamma a little while?
58546Well, and would I be bringing you so far just to show you a dollar?
58546Well, how could he make such dreadful mistakes?
58546Well, ma''am?
58546Well, neither would I, but ca n''t you see how much nicer times we would have if there was a lot of us, on holidays especially?
58546Well, sir, does your charming cousin reach your standard of feminine appearance?
58546Well, this one made a good many,----[_ to_ TED] did n''t he?
58546Well, well, Brother Anselmus, it does seem as if we had found a good boy at last, does n''t it?
58546Well, well, where are you, then?
58546Well, what did you say?
58546Well, what''s the matter wid yerself?
58546Well, what''ud be the trouble here?
58546Well, would you look at''em, John?
58546Well, your Highness?
58546Were n''t you?
58546Were you looking for Santa Claus?
58546Wha-- wha---- Who are you?
58546What about his lessons?

58546What are you doing here?
58546What are you driving at?
58546What are you glad for?
58546What are your eyes for?
58546What can be the matter?
58546What can be the meaning of all this coil?
58546What can have got into the child?
58546What can make her so thoughtless and careless and full of discontent?
58546What can we do for you, Toinette, dear?
58546What child is that?
58546What color is it?
58546What did Santa Claus look like?
58546What did he say?
58546What did she do, Father?
58546What did you boys run away for on Christmas Eve-- weren''t you afraid of missing your presents and the Christmas Tree?

58546What do the Monks do?
58546What do ye look to find here?
58546What do you fellows suppose their marm''s thinking, about now?
58546What do you mean by it, sir?
58546What do you suppose it has meant to me to have you and Louis and the children wandering over the face of the earth all these months?
58546What do you think of that for a book- mark?
58546What do you want Santa Claus to bring you?
58546What do you want?
58546What does he want, Roger?
58546What does this mean?
58546What for is the butter in the little chiny jar?
58546What for is the fluting- irons?
58546What has the lady so many for?

58546What of the Prince?
58546What on earth did you expect, child?
58546What on_ earth_ do you spend your time thinking about, I should like to know, anyway?

58546What shall I do?
58546What shall we do about it, sister?
58546What shall we sing?
58546What things, Eaglefeather?
58546What will my father the king say when he hears I have been kept standing in the highway with a rabble of common peasant children?
58546What would Mistress Wells say if she saw Eaglefeather here now?
58546What you have to tell is that the child there has broken one of the dolls, is n''t it?
58546What''d you like to do, Sally?
58546What''s all this secrecy about?
58546What''s it all about?
58546What''s that scratching?

58546What?
58546What?
58546What?
58546What?
58546When did you say you started?
58546When the little girl heard the soft tapping at the door she said:"Shall I open it, Mother?"
58546When was it?
58546When we tried to play games and dance afterwards, what did we do?
58546When you get done, ca n''t you tell just one story, Toinette?
58546When you knew I was coming?
58546When?
58546Whence comes this rush of wings afar?
58546Where are you, anyway?
58546Where art thou?
58546Where art thou?

58546[ DAISY_ nods._] Daisy, if he has n''t any little children, I do n''t suppose anybody ever gives him any Christmas presents?
58546[ SALLY_ pours a drop in each hand, and_ TIBBIE_ dances as she rubs them together._] Why are the little scissors crooked?
58546[ TIBBIE_ laughs, too, but less heartily._] Now what''ll we do first?
58546[ TIBBIE_ moves her head slowly up and down, absorbed in the process of washing._] What did you get?
58546[ WALTER_ steps forward._] Name?
58546[_ A very gentle knock at the door._] Oh, what was that?
58546[_ Cheerfully._] But, then, you know, this has come hardest on you-- hasn''t it, my Brethren?
58546[_ Covers her face with her hands._] How could the children be so unkind?...
58546[_ Crosses to fireplace._] What_ shall_ I do about these stockings, anyway?
58546[_ Enter the boys._] Myles, has thee seen Roger?
58546[_ Exit._] OSCAR[_ who has been measuring the tree with his arm._] Fritz, do you think the good St. Nicholas can cover such a big tree as this?
58546[_ Folds his arms and shivers._] Can warm?
58546[_ Gets down from stool and helps to wipe one or two cups._] Where are the boys, I wonder?
58546[_ Goes to door._] But maybe you''ve calls to make yourself?
58546[_ His voice gradually rising._] They''ll find him as soon as they get here.... Oh,_ what_ shall I do-- what shall I do?
58546[_ Holds it up._] Do n''t you suppose Papa will be pleased?
58546[_ Jingling of bells in chimney._] What''s that?
58546[_ Leads her over to rug, lifts corner of coat, and discloses_ MINTY- MALVINY_ fast asleep._] Is n''t this your little waif, Laura?
58546[_ Looks about, aside._] I suppose we should examine his Royal Highness first?
58546[_ Makes a face and hunches up her shoulders._ TOM_ refuses to look._] Do ye think that''s rale handsome?
58546[_ Monks bow very slightly._ PRINCE_ and attendants advance a little._] How old are you?
58546[_ Moves the dolls about tentatively._] But what''s the good?
58546[_ No answer._] Do you mean to tell me?
58546[_ Replaces photo face down._] Bonnet, why do n''t you come and do my hair?
58546[_ Rises and stands surveying the two wraps._] Which shall I wear?
58546[_ Sings._] Rosie, what are you crying for now?
58546[_ Sits down in her place._] Oh, did you make these lovely things, children?
58546[_ Stoops to look up it._] Why does n''t everybody keep a chimney like that for my special use?
58546[_ Straightens things, then looks for her duster._ TOM_ watches slyly._] Did I take that cloth downstairs wid me?
58546[_ The men are confused at this turn of affairs._] Only for us?
58546[_ They start._] Phil, what is the matter with Tom?
58546[_ To her._] Minty- Malviny, what are all those things?
58546[_ To her._] See here, Minty- Malviny-- where''s your Mammy-- who owns you, anyway?
58546[_ To herself._] Oh, where can the rash boy have gone?
58546[_ Turns back._] Will nothing move you, my lord?
58546[_ Turns to her again._] But what about Alphonse?
58546[_ Turns to list._] What''s all this at the bottom?
58546[_ Turns to_ BROWNIE,_ and the two walk away from the fire._] Now, did n''t I tell you how it was?
58546[_ Washes_ TIBBIE''S_ hands while they talk._] Did you get anything for Christmas yet, Tibbie?
58546[_ Whispers full of awe._] Are the_ fairies_ about to- night, dear Gillian?
58546_ Do_ they?
58546_ Has_ it?
58546_ Have_ you got the whip, then?
58546_ Me?_ No, sir!
58546_ Must_ I, Mother?
58546_ Stands a moment at door, regarding the assemblage with a sort of absent- minded astonishment._ MRS. D. What is it?
58546_ What_ did I spend months dressing them for?
58546_ Where_ are your ears?
58546_ Where_ are your senses?
58546_ Who_ is this impertinent snip of a boy who dares to insinuate that my master, Santa Claus, is too old and decrepit to do his work any longer?
58546_ Why_ did I dress them?
58546_ Why_ not?
58546_ You_ did n''t think I was going to scold you, did you, dear?
58546do n''t you want a little boy to help you in your house?
58546do you suppose we can get them to look as they did?
58546honest Injun?
58546or the anatomizer played over them like the garden hose?
58546what do I see?
58546what''s happened?
58546whatever is the matter, Master Ted?
58546where are the others?
58546where did you get them dirty hands?"
58546wo n''t thee teach us some Christmas carols, some_ real_ joyful ones-- so I can forget about those bears?
58546you''re talking about this fellow, are you?
