13114	We all rose to go and were parting at the doorway with sundry hems and haws when the Patron piped up anxiously,"Do you suppose he painted my Corot?"

13114	You do n''t know him?
13114	You''ll let me measure it, wo n''t you?
13114	but when I followed up this promising lead and claimed him as an associate, he repulsed me with,''Stuck up, ai n''t yer?
13114	or was it essentially a delicate alms, in view of the Marquesa''s known poverty and proved resourcefulness?
13114	those bits of ivory cutting from old Italy and Japan?
38746	Are you certain?
38746	But what good does it do? 38746 Ca n''t you find out?"

38746	Not for a single vase?
38746	Really?
38746	So soon?
38746	That much? 38746 Then you will not marry me?"
38746	Then, who is it?
38746	Well, I was long on New Haven and Reading--"Speculating again, have you?
38746	Well, what is it?

38746	Where is it?

38746	But how?
38746	But what was to be done with it, now that it had been created, a true brother of the original?
38746	But where was the confounded book?
38746	But, hold,--what were the brown, reddish finger- marks on the back cover?
38746	Do you know where it is?"
38746	Do you remember how we used to spend hours going over his books?"
38746	Had it been destroyed?
38746	He had been the underbidder, but what chance had a poor devil of a bibliophile against the wealthy captains of industry?
38746	He knew she liked him, but would she marry him?
38746	He took it bravely, for was he not offering at the sacrifice the dearest of his possessions?

38746	Which side do you think will win the polo match to- morrow?
38746	Who had stolen it?
38746	Why do you start?"
38746	Why had it been taken?
38746	Why is it so valuable?"
38746	Why not add this immortal work of Rembrandt''s to his museum, which at that time existed only in his mind?
38746	Why?"
38746	Would he ever solve the riddle?

39891	Ah, Sutton, that''s you, is it?
39891	Ah,said he,"it is like that then?
39891	Am I likely to forget that folly?
39891	And ca n''t you think of any explanation at all?
39891	And if I make you a bid you are prepared to furnish me with the history both of it and of yourself?
39891	And if another has it?
39891	And if you go to the ball to- night without your bracelet----?
39891	And seriously,said I, beginning to experience a glimmer of interest,"you believe that she has discovered something of importance?"
39891	And she will wear it at the ball to- night?
39891	And the Colonel and his daughter and the invalid?
39891	And the assassin?
39891	And the man''s daughter?
39891	And who else knows anything when he''s settled with?
39891	And yet,I continued,"there can not be three larger opals in Europe; do you know the stone at Vienna?"
39891	And you believed it?
39891	And you sold the booty to the old Frenchman in the Rue de Stockholm?
39891	And you yourself have no suspicion, no faint idea of the cause of such a letter as that?
39891	Are the Chilians such wonderful dancers then?
39891	Are you sure that you are making no mistake?
39891	But your estimate of my opinion is hopelessly flattering; it concerns jewels, I suppose?
39891	But,said I, as I pitched her glass into the fireplace,"what I want to know is, how did I come to think that the stuff was real?
39891	Could you make no excuse to remain at home?
39891	D''ye think they''d say that?
39891	Did he now?
39891	Did not I read somewhere that he was going to be married?
39891	Did you say the police was''ere?
39891	Do I go round to the taverns swilling gin- and- water with such gutter birds? 39891 Do you know a tall man with yellow hair who''s got two emeralds to sell?"
39891	Do you know that my husband values the rubies in each of those pendants at eight hundred pounds?
39891	Do you mean to say,I exclaimed, beginning to understand the situation,"that you took the case without his permission?"
39891	Do you miss the excitement of London?
39891	Do you really possess an enemy?
39891	Do you see him often now?
39891	Do you sell these stones for yourself or as an agent?
39891	Do you think that any one will get to hear of it? 39891 Do you think that?"
39891	Do you think they''re bad?
39891	Does he say what he wants?
39891	First,said he,"tell me, did Mademoiselle speak of a letter she had received?"
39891	Guv''ner,he said,"lay your fingers on that; do you feel it?
39891	Have I asked him-- why, look at him; is n''t he ten years older since he met you in Bond- street?
39891	Have they put a price upon it?
39891	Have they robbed my wife''s grave? 39891 Have you any idea as to the man''s whereabouts now?"
39891	Have you asked him, then?
39891	Have you brought them with you now?
39891	Have you got your revolver with you, sir?
39891	Have you?
39891	How could you know it?
39891	How do you know that he was a swindler?
39891	How should I know?
39891	How will that help to its recovery?
39891	How''s that?
39891	How?
39891	Hullo,cried he, in his cracked and piercing voice;"why it''s you, is it?
39891	I bet him a hundred she''d sell you a piece of glass for a sapphire; and I do n''t suppose you''ll deny that she did it?
39891	I followed you here, as you say----"For what purpose, may I ask?
39891	I gathered that from your words,said I next;"and of course you wrote it for very good reasons?"
39891	I guess not,she replied;"but I miss some one who can talk to me as you talk; you''re going to stop awhile, are n''t you?"
39891	I knew there was a woman in it all along-- but this one, why, she''s a regular flier, ai n''t she, sir?
39891	I want to know how you came to learn that the stones were in Madame Brewer''s grave?
39891	I will send a note with pleasure if you think this man can help us; but who is he, and why have I not heard of him before?
39891	I wonder what emeralds they were?
39891	I''m glad to see you, by Jove; have you such a thing as half- a- crown in your pocket?
39891	Is Abel in the shop?
39891	Is he dead?
39891	Is he here in Paris?
39891	Is it a serious offer?
39891	Is it a stone with a history?
39891	Is it me that should be running for it? 39891 Is n''t it possible to suspect some one just to pass the time?"
39891	It has lost more of its color, then?
39891	It''ll be all right in a month, Sutton,said he;"you know the old chap''s hard enough, but he ca n''t let me marry on nothing a year, can he now?"
39891	Margaret may come too?
39891	Monsieur is robbed, and_ chez- moi_?
39891	Never mind that,said I, as we drove off sharply,"what did they say at the station?"
39891	No, you never found them, did you? 39891 Of course,"said I;"you do n''t think I am a policeman, do you?
39891	Oh, that''s what you want to know, is it? 39891 Oh, you''re engaged,"I ventured dolefully;"you never told me that----""Did n''t I?"
39891	Oh,said I, taken aback at his false conclusion,"it is that, is it?
39891	On the cushion?
39891	Should I undo all these papers if I had not?
39891	Since you are determined to be there to night,said I,"perhaps you will give me Monsieur Georges Barré''s address?"
39891	So I did, so I did; but a man can take his own back again, ca n''t he? 39891 Tell me,"said I, stopping of a sudden before her,"what led you to me?"
39891	Tell me,said I,"you had no help in this work?"
39891	That lady who just left,said I,"did she have a carriage or a cab?"
39891	Then it is n''t yours?
39891	Then what''s he want to do it for? 39891 Then you knew who killed the other victim at Marseilles?"
39891	There are none of your lady friends who would hazard a joke with you?
39891	They are fine stuff,said I;"do you happen to know where they come from?"
39891	They''re upstairs, sir, will you go up?
39891	Was it by your orders?
39891	Was that by your order?
39891	Was this dancing girl married to a scamp like that?
39891	Well, and why ca n''t he come ashore? 39891 Well, but you ca n''t get them back now?"
39891	Well, my man, what is it?
39891	Well, old chap,--I was that already to him--"what can I tell you, and what do you know?"
39891	Well, on that table then?
39891	Well, there''s no one in this room to think of, is there?
39891	Well,he said,"are you frightened to look at it?"
39891	Well,he said,"what is it, what does he say?
39891	Well,said I,"what the devil do you want?
39891	Well,said he, after I had looked at them long and closely,"how do you like them?"
39891	Well,said he, after a pause,"do you find much the matter with them?"
39891	Well,said he,"I fancy my hundred''s all right?"
39891	What d''ye want in my grounds?
39891	What did he say?
39891	What do you know about the bull''s- eye?
39891	What do you mean?
39891	What do you say? 39891 What does it mean?"
39891	What guarantee have I that it will not be worthless in a month''s time?
39891	What hundred?
39891	What should I be here for if I had n''t?
39891	What sort of a stone is it?
39891	What the devil does the man mean?
39891	What''re you going to do?
39891	What''s that?
39891	Where did ye see my nephew?
39891	Which are?
39891	Which means that your next partner might be the thief?
39891	Who is he?
39891	Why do I waste my time on you?
39891	Why not,said I,"since he returned the jewels to you?"
39891	Why, what do you mean?
39891	Why,said I,"I might ask you that question, since you made yourself so much at home there; do n''t you know them?"
39891	Wo n''t it wait?
39891	Wo n''t you give me an idea of it now?
39891	Wo n''t you have a brandy and seltzer or something before you go?
39891	Would I forget that?
39891	You are Monsieur Bernard Sutton?
39891	You are still at Villemomble?
39891	You have come to buy my opal?
39891	You have n''t come to sell me anything?
39891	You have no one else you would care to consult in such a case?
39891	You hussy,he hissed, bending her by the arms backward almost to the floor;"what do you watch me for?
39891	You know most of the people then?
39891	You mean a magnifying glass, I suppose?
39891	You promise me that?
39891	You see something now which you did not see ten minutes ago,she cried;"you will surely tell me?"
39891	You think so?
39891	You will experiment for me, then?
39891	You will please do nothing of the sort; did she give her name?
39891	You''ll not be a county man?
39891	You''re a pretty nark, ai n''t you?
39891	You''re going to follow her home then?
39891	You''re not asking after my health,said he,"but I''ll let you know that I''m eat up with cold; can ye have done with it straight off?"
39891	Your husband''s father was a rich man?
39891	_ Mon Dieu!_said he;"then she did not sell it to you?"
39891	A skilful man had in all probability done that-- but which man, or perhaps men?
39891	A tall, yellow-- let me see, now----""You sold him some tabloids of nitro- glycerine; perhaps that will help to his identification?"
39891	And as her voice rose shrilly, only to be modulated to the pretence of suavity again, he blurted out,--"Evelyn, what are you going to do?"
39891	And how long is it since you missed the pendant?"
39891	And if the gem had any connection with a previous affair of Barré''s why did he give it to his_ fiancée_?
39891	And you thought I might amuse you with a trick?
39891	Are any more men expected now?"
39891	Are you seeking to know the value of it?"
39891	Before you became the_ fiancée_ of Monsieur Barré was there-- well, was there any other in your thoughts?"
39891	But I should want some money now, to- night, before an hour-- could you let me have it?"
39891	But could he?
39891	But, of course, you have shown this letter to your relatives?"
39891	By what chance had the man found me out?
39891	Ca n''t you see I''m dressing?"
39891	Did I make such a fool of myself when I was his age?"
39891	Did he ask you to show him any American tickers, by the way?
39891	Did you bring my pistol?"
39891	Did you tear it in front?"
39891	Do I hobnob with all the half- starved limners in Fleet Street?
39891	Do I speak the truth?"
39891	Do I surprise you, eh?
39891	Do n''t you know that I lost a marquise brooch at the Hayes''s dance the other evening?
39891	Do you follow me in this?"
39891	Do you know anything of these people?"
39891	God help me, Sutton what shall I do?"
39891	Granted this, what is the work before the chemist?
39891	Had I not satisfied myself completely as to the Colonel''s standing, his means, his reputation, and his personal character?
39891	Had I walked into a trap at the bidding of a pretty woman?
39891	Had not he passed most brilliantly through a London season?
39891	Had the body been found?
39891	Had the detectives a clue?
39891	Has n''t he what Sheridan calls-- but there, I must n''t say it; you know-- a something disinheriting countenance?"
39891	Have you got any brandy in the house?"
39891	He considered it for a moment, standing still under the lamp; but at last he stamped his foot and whistled, saying:--"You want him, do you?
39891	He is a chap that writes for the papers and runs that rag with the rum pictures in it; what do you call it, Paris and something or other?"
39891	How came it that he alone had the history of such an ancient gem?
39891	I asked, as she fell into a vulgar burst of laughter at her own humor; but she said,--"Do I possess one?
39891	I examined the photograph, and then asked casually:"What is this M. Jules?
39891	I guess I''ve got an appetite on, and so''s Margaret, eh, little girl?"
39891	I never saw better work in my life, and must have been a fool when I let them go out of my possession-- d''ye see?"
39891	I remarked, as I looked full at him,"you''ve made rather a quick change, have n''t you?"
39891	I shall say that you are engaged, and will see her to- morrow; monsieur leaves Paris at nine o''clock_ hein_?"
39891	I should like to compare them, if you''ll let me?
39891	I was in Pangbourne yesterday, where a tall, yellow- haired man was speaking of you; who is he, I wonder?"
39891	If you will stay here and nurse yourself, I will do that at once?"
39891	In that case, how would they know even of my necessity?
39891	Is it not just possible that she will be ultimately the means of turning the laugh upon herself?
39891	Is n''t it dreadful?"
39891	Is n''t it really awful to think that at every party we go to thieves go with us?
39891	It concerns the bracelet, of course?"
39891	It is not for me to tell you about your life, is it?"
39891	It remains to ask, What steps must the chemist follow who would seek to turn from his crucible the perfect jewel?
39891	Look for yourself, and say what do you call that?"
39891	Look here, Sutton, could n''t you charge him an extra hundred, and go halves?
39891	May I be permitted to light the candles?"
39891	Need I tell you that the reasoning convinced me?
39891	Now, what do you want to know?"
39891	Now, would you like to play cards after dinner, or shall we have a little music?"
39891	Of course, I could have taken cab to Scotland Yard, and have told my tale; but with no other support, how far would that have availed me?
39891	Oh, you slow- goers in London, you poor lame cab- horses, what do you know of life or of woman, or even of the sky above you?
39891	One burning anxiety alone troubled him-- had the steamer sailed?
39891	Shall I take you down?"
39891	She had made that, as I could swear: why should she not make a hundred, a thousand?
39891	She went up again at this, and he turned to me, asking,--"What shall I do now, sir?
39891	Show me something cheap, something that five pounds will buy, d''ye see?
39891	Tell me, wench; do you hear?
39891	That poor girl is moped to death here, and now you''re going to pay for our honeymoon-- cost does n''t matter, does it, old man?"
39891	That was a poor compliment, was n''t it?"
39891	That which I had to ask myself, and to answer in the space of ten seconds, was the question,"Now, or to- morrow?"
39891	That''s a delightfully mixed metaphor, is n''t it?
39891	That''s a fair offer, is n''t it?"
39891	The chemist is beginning to ask himself, Were these men such fools?
39891	The other stuff is in my dressing- room there; Margaret, will you get it?"
39891	Then I asked Michel,--"Who brought this?"
39891	Then she said,--"Is it Mr. Ladd you''re wanting?"
39891	There then was the clue; but how was it to be used?
39891	There was running through my mind the question which must have arisen under such circumstances: Where had he got it from?
39891	Was he not staying in Lord Aberly''s house?
39891	Well, when I saw them at the house, I concluded it was ridiculous to give a boy like that such treasures, and so----""You spoke to him?"
39891	Were all the guarantees I had received in the Colonel''s favor fraudulent or mistaken?
39891	Were there not twenty members of the Bachelors''Club seeking to pay for the sake of his daughter the fine imposed upon amorous backsliders?
39891	What did it mean, I kept asking myself; the illness, was it sham?
39891	What did it mean?
39891	What do you mean by coming here?
39891	What harm then could a broker''s daughter, three thousand miles away, do to him?
39891	What''s that?"
39891	What, then, should I say, or how much should I dare with the great responsibility before me of crushing a man whose heart was already broken?
39891	When will it end?"
39891	Whence came his seedy clothes and his jewels?
39891	Where are the emeralds you have stolen?
39891	Where was he to be put ashore?
39891	Where was he?
39891	Who are you, and how''s your family?"
39891	Who could do such a thing with a woman who never harmed a living soul?
39891	Who has done it?
39891	Who was the pretty woman who had gone up from the hard with him?
39891	Why should I tell you how science now laughs at these old philosophers, and lumps them together as little better than maniacs?
39891	Why, man, what have I half- ruined myself for?"
39891	Why, then, I asked, should not this man also scatter the tidings that I would give so many hundreds of francs for the recovery of the scimitar?
39891	Why, you brazen- faced blackguard, what do you mean?"
39891	Will he prosecute me?"
39891	Will you buy my sapphire?
39891	Would you see me murdered?"
39891	Yet does she laugh at them with good reason?
39891	Yet if jealousy were the motive of the warning, how, I asked, came the bloodstains upon the bracelet?
39891	You do not go to the opera until midnight, I presume?"
39891	You have come here to sell it, I presume?"
39891	You have n''t sold them any jewels, have you?"
39891	You remember the necklace of green diamonds I gave my poor wife, and buried with her?"
39891	You will not refuse me this?"
39891	cried I with surprise;"who is she?"
39891	he asked as if of himself; then turning to me, he exclaimed,"Will you come upstairs with me a minute?"
39891	he asked, while I sipped the wine with satisfaction;"it''ll have been in London, perhaps?"
39891	he kept exclaiming;"Why, man alive, do you think I''m made of money?
39891	he replied, looking more knowing than ever;"that''s a ripping fine Bank of Engraving to go on bail on, ai n''t it?
39891	is there anything more beautiful on earth than a perfect sapphire?
39891	it''s a Colt, ai n''t it?
39891	my visit, was it foolhardy?
39891	or how mar his happiness?
39891	she asked with her limpid laugh;"of course you could n''t search the curate''s pockets, unless sermons were missing instead of rubies?"
39891	the man from London, was he on a fool''s errand?
4264	Above all she had n’t complained, not by the quaver of a syllable-- so what wound in particular had she shown her fear of receiving?
4264	Afraid, I mean, for the others. ” “ For Mr. Verver and Maggie? ” It did take some following.
4264	After this? ” “ After everything.
4264	All she had to do, after all, was to be nice to you. ” “ To-- a-- ME? ” said Adam Verver.
4264	And Charlotte returns to dinner? ” “ To dinner.
4264	And I do n’t mean only before-- I mean after. ” “ After? ” said Fanny Assingham.
4264	And it will be-- won’t it?
4264	And my situation is such, ” she went on, “ that this becomes immediately, do n’t you understand?
4264	And not to wait. ” “ Do you mean-- a-- this season? ” “ I mean immediately.
4264	And of course you must stay”--Charlotte was easily clear--“as long as possible. ” “ Is that what you did? ” he laughed.
4264	And then as she only gloomed: “ The Prince ’s? ” “ Maggie ’s own-- Maggie ’s very own, ” she pursued as for herself.
4264	And then both of them together to Maggie. ” “ To Maggie? ” he wonderingly echoed.
4264	And wait there for them, if necessary, till they come. ” “ Wait-- a-- at Fawns? ” “ Wait in Paris.
4264	And whom has she, after all, ” Mrs. Assingham added, “ to complain to? ” “ Has n’t she always you? ” “ Oh, ‘ me ’!
4264	And whom has she, after all, ” Mrs. Assingham added, “ to complain to? ” “ Has n’t she always you? ” “ Oh, ‘ me ’!
4264	And why could n’t he have dignity when he had so much of the good conscience, as it were, on which such advantages rested?
4264	And yet am I in the least sure he does n’t? ” “ If he does n’t then, so much the better.
4264	Are n’t they, for that matter, intimately together now? ” “ ‘ Intimately’--?
4264	Are n’t they, for that matter, intimately together now? ” “ ‘ Intimately’--?
4264	Are they mere helpless victims of fate? ” Well, Fanny at last had the courage of it, “ Yes-- they are.
4264	Believes they ’re innocent. ” “ She positively believes then they ’re guilty?
4264	Besides, who but himself really knew what he, after all, had n’t, or even had, gained?
4264	Besides, ” Fanny went on, “ you ’re too splendid. ” “ Splendid? ” “ Splendid.
4264	But I wanted them to go. ” “ Then, my dear child, what in the world is the matter? ” “ I wanted to see if they WOULD.
4264	But are you sure of having exhausted all other ways? ” This, of a truth, enlarged his gaze.
4264	But by all you hold sacred? ” Mrs. Assingham faced her.
4264	But do n’t you, my dear, really feel it? ” Maggie considered.
4264	But does nothing depend on it for them? ” “ What CAN-- from the moment that, as appears, they do n’t want to nip us in the bud?
4264	But does nothing depend on it for them? ” “ What CAN-- from the moment that, as appears, they do n’t want to nip us in the bud?
4264	But he was in presence too of the fact that Maggie had made HER so; and always, therefore, without Maggie, where, in fine, would he be?
4264	But his keeping away from me because of that-- what will that be but to speak?
4264	But how do you make out, ” she asked, “ that you were keeping it FROM me? ” “ I don’t-- now.
4264	But if she and Mr. Verver insisted upon it--? ” “ Why is it such a test?
4264	But if she and Mr. Verver insisted upon it--? ” “ Why is it such a test?
4264	But is n’t it, possibly, ” Charlotte asked, “ not quite enough to marry me for? ” “ Why so, my dear child?
4264	But is n’t it, possibly, ” Charlotte asked, “ not quite enough to marry me for? ” “ Why so, my dear child?
4264	But it wo n’t do? ” “ It wo n’t do, cara mia. ” “ It ’s impossible? ” “ It ’s impossible. ” And he took up one of the brooches.
4264	But it wo n’t do? ” “ It wo n’t do, cara mia. ” “ It ’s impossible? ” “ It ’s impossible. ” And he took up one of the brooches.
4264	But she had it to any amount. ” “ Did you ask her how much? ” Bob Assingham patiently inquired.
4264	But the point for me is that he understands. ” “ Yes, ” Fanny Assingham cooed, “ understands--? ” “ Well, what I want.
4264	But was n’t that the right way-- for sharing his last day of captivity with the man one adored?
4264	But was n’t there still a piece missing?
4264	But what I mean is that I might-- placed for it as we both are-- go to see HIM. ” “ And do you? ” Fanny asked with almost mistaken solemnity.
4264	But what could he do but just let her see that he would make anything, everything, for her, as honourably easy as possible?
4264	But what did you take? ” He looked at her; first as if he were trying to remember, then as if he might have been trying to forget.
4264	But what else can she do? ” “ Why, whatever people do when they do n’t trust.
4264	But when one MUST do it-- ” “ Yes? ” he asked as she paused.
4264	But why not after? ” She had looked at him a minute; then, at the sound of a voice in the corridor, they had got up.
4264	But why should I be amused? ” “ Well, I mean I am myself.
4264	But will you do, ” he asked, “ still one thing more for me? ” It was as if, for an instant, with her new exposure, it had made her turn pale.
4264	But you mean, ” she asked, “ that she understands YOU? ” “ It presents small difficulty! ” “ Are you so sure? ” Maggie went on.
4264	But you mean, ” she asked, “ that she understands YOU? ” “ It presents small difficulty! ” “ Are you so sure? ” Maggie went on.
4264	By his not ‘ really ’ caring? ” She recalled, after a little, benevolently enough.
4264	Ca n’t you be quiet on THAT? ” She thought a moment-- then seemed to try.
4264	Can I, for myself, undertake it?
4264	Charlotte and I? ” Maggie again hesitated.
4264	Charlotte is naturally in Mr. Verver ’s boat. ” “ And, pray, am_ I_ not in Mr. Verver ’s boat too?
4264	Did n’t you see”--she was to ask it with an insistence--“the way he looked at us and took us in?
4264	Did you think me, ” she asked with some earnestness--“well, fatuous? ” “ ‘ Fatuous’?”--he seemed at a loss.
4264	Do I need?
4264	Do n’t you see what I mean? ” the Princess asked.
4264	Do n’t you see, ” she asked, “ how I ’m ready? ” He had taken it in, but there was always more and more of her.
4264	Do you know that if we should ship, it would serve you quite right? ” With which he smiled-- oh he smiled!
4264	Do you realise, father, that I ’ve never had the least blow? ” He gave her a long, quiet look.
4264	Do you suppose I asked them, ” said the young man, still amused, “ if they did n’t want to see her?
4264	Do you suppose I ’ve asked him for an assurance? ” “ Ah, you have n’t? ” Her companion smiled.
4264	Do you suppose I ’ve asked him for an assurance? ” “ Ah, you have n’t? ” Her companion smiled.
4264	Do you want them to separate?
4264	Does n’t SHE know--? ” “ That we see before our noses? ” Yes, this indeed took longer.
4264	Does n’t SHE know--? ” “ That we see before our noses? ” Yes, this indeed took longer.
4264	Enough for what? ” “ Enough not to be selfish. ” “ I do n’t think YOU are selfish, ” she had returned-- and had managed not to wail it.
4264	Everyone had brought gifts; his relations had brought wonders-- how did they still have, where did they still find, such treasures?
4264	Find out the rest--! ” “ Find it out--? ” He waited.
4264	For such wounds and shames are dreadful: at least, ” she added, catching herself up, “ I suppose they are; for what, as I say, do I know of them?
4264	For what do you take us?
4264	For what reason? ” And then, as his wife at first said nothing: “ Did she give any sign?
4264	For what reason? ” And then, as his wife at first said nothing: “ Did she give any sign?
4264	For what, really, did the Prince do, ” she asked herself, “ but generously trust her?
4264	For whom else? ” And he was to feel indeed how she wished him to understand it.
4264	For whom else? ” They looked at each other hard now, but Maggie ’s face took refuge in the intensity of her interest.
4264	From the alarm, I mean, of what Maggie MAY think. ” “ Yet if your whole idea is that Maggie thinks nothing--? ” She waited again.
4264	Great in life. ” “ So? ” Mr. Verver echoed.
4264	Have you any message? ” The girl seemed to wonder a little.
4264	Have you any?--do you see what I mean?
4264	Have you ever thought of me, ” she asked, “ as really feeling as I do? ” Her companion, conspicuously, required to be clear.
4264	He did n’t undertake it to break down; in what-- quiet, patient, exquisite as he is-- did he ever break down?
4264	He felt too ill to come? ” “ No, my dear-- I think not.
4264	He knows what YOU know?
4264	He may never again, ” said the Princess, “ come into this room. ” Fanny more deeply wondered, “ Never again?
4264	He seems to me simply the best man I ’ve ever seen in my life. ” “ Well, my dear, why should n’t he be? ” the girl had gaily inquired.
4264	He was allying himself to science, for what was science but the absence of prejudice backed by the presence of money?
4264	His freedom to see-- of which the comparisons were part-- what could it do but steadily grow and grow?
4264	How can I tell?
4264	How can she not have asked him-- asked him on his honour, I mean-- if you know? ” “ How can she ‘ not ’?
4264	How can she not have asked him-- asked him on his honour, I mean-- if you know? ” “ How can she ‘ not ’?
4264	How can she not have ‘ success ’?
4264	How can we not always think of her?
4264	How could I adore her more if I were married to one of the people you speak of? ” The Prince gave a laugh.
4264	How could n’t you like Amerigo? ” Maggie continued.
4264	How do I know?
4264	How do I know? ” But Fanny kept it up.
4264	How long had she stood staring?--a single minute or five?
4264	How will it do, how will it do? ” “ It will do, I daresay, without your wringing your hands over it.
4264	How, so looking, can she pass unnoticed?
4264	How, when you do, can I stand up to you?
4264	However, if she HAD been worse, poor woman, who should say that her husband would, to a certainty, have been better?
4264	I CAN, I believe, keep the wretches quiet. ” “ But how-- at the worst? ” “ Oh, ‘ the worst’--don’t talk about the worst!
4264	I do n’t know, I admit, what_ I_ should do if I were lonely and sore-- for what sorrow, to speak of, have I ever had in my life?
4264	I doubt if you CAN. ” “ And why not, please-- when I ’ve had you so before me?
4264	I get off by giving him up. ” “ But if he gives you? ” Mrs. Assingham presumed to object.
4264	I got it, you see, for less. ” “ For how much then? ” Again he waited, always with his serene stare.
4264	I know how it feels. ” After which, as if breaking off, “ And you, have you never been out? ” she asked.
4264	I mean for me to break in. ” “ ‘ To break in’--? ” “ Between your father and his wife.
4264	I mean not to the people they want. ” “ Then what do you call the people with whom they ’re now having tea? ” It made her quite spring round.
4264	I mean your future does?
4264	I ’ve got to be a regular martyr before you ’ll be inspired? ” She demurred at his way of putting it.
4264	If I did--! ” “ Well, if you did? ” Fanny asked as she faltered.
4264	If I ’m jealous, do n’t you see?
4264	If he had been too ill I would n’t have left him. ” “ And yet Maggie was worried? ” Mrs. Assingham asked.
4264	If persons under his roof had n’t a right not to go to church, what became, for a fair mind, of his own right?
4264	If she SHOULD try--! ” “ Well--? ” Mrs. Assingham urged.
4264	If she ’s charming, how can she help it?
4264	If you have n’t by this time found out yourself, what meaning can anything I say have for you?
4264	In another moment even it seemed positively what he wanted; for what so much as publicity put their relation on the right footing?
4264	Is it anything for which I ’m in any degree responsible? ” Maggie summoned all her powers.
4264	Is n’t it always a misfortune to be-- when you ’re so fine-- so wasted?
4264	Is n’t our situation worth the little sacrifice?
4264	Is that it? ” But Maggie for a minute only stared back at her.
4264	Is there any wrong you consider I ’ve done you?
4264	It WILL come up. ” “ You do n’t think I can keep it down? ” Mr. Verver ’s tone was cheerfully pensive.
4264	It fits him-- so it must be good for something. ” “ Do you think it would be good for you? ” Maggie Verver had smilingly asked.
4264	It had come to her as a question--“What if I ’ve abandoned THEM, you know?
4264	It has spoiled, so to speak, on their hands. ” “ It has soured, eh? ” the Colonel said.
4264	It is n’t of an assurance received from him then that you do speak? ” At which Maggie had continued to stare.
4264	It is n’t your fault, after all, is it?
4264	It really struck you that there IS something? ” The movement itself, apparently, made him once more stand off.
4264	It takes Anglo- Saxon blood. ” “ ‘ Blood ’? ” he echoed.
4264	It was as if what she had come out to do had already begun, and when, as a consequence, Maggie had said helplessly, “ Do n’t you want something?
4264	It will be all right if she marries. ” “ So we ’re to marry her? ” “ We ’re to marry her.
4264	It ’s for us, on our side, to see HER through. ” “ Through her sublimity? ” “ Through her noble, lonely life.
4264	It ’s perfectly true that she thinks Maggie a dear-- as who does n’t?
4264	It ’s why I ’ve believed you would meet me half way. ” “ Half way to what?
4264	It’s-- well, it ’s the condition. ” “ The condition--? ” He was just vague.
4264	Just so what is morality but high intelligence? ” This he was unable to tell her; which left her more definitely to conclude.
4264	Leave him alone. ” “ Do you mean give him up? ” “ Leave HER, ” Fanny Assingham went on.
4264	Literally on the town-- isn’t that what they call it?
4264	Mr. Verver believes in our intelligence-- but he does n’t matter. ” “ And Maggie?
4264	No doubt even she was rather impatient. ” “ OF the poor things? ” Mr. Verver had here inquired while he waited.
4264	No? ” he said, coming nearer.
4264	Not at all as she can, in a way, here. ” “ In the way, you mean, of living with US? ” “ Of living with anyone.
4264	Nothing-- from him-- HAS come. ” “ You ’re so awfully sure? ” “ Sure.
4264	Now that that ’s done, and that they ’ve all gone, she of course knows for herself--! ” “ ‘ Knows ’? ” the Prince vaguely echoed.
4264	Of Mr. Verver ’s and Maggie ’s selves? ” Mrs. Assingham remained patient as well as lucid.
4264	Of course they were arranged-- all four arranged; but what had the basis of their life been, precisely, but that they were arranged together?
4264	Oh really? ” The Prince expressed clear surprise-- a transparency through which his eyes met his friend ’s with a certain hardness of concussion.
4264	Oh then, if she was n’t with her little conscious passion, the child of any weakness, what was she but strong enough too?
4264	Oh, if he HAD been angular!--who could say what might THEN have happened?
4264	On what did that sentiment, unsolicited and unrecompensed, rest?
4264	On what occasion, ever, had she appeared to find him wanting?
4264	Only how was the decision to be applied?--what, in particular, would the figure in the picture do?
4264	Or did n’t, for that matter, poor Charlotte herself? ” She kept her eyes on him; there was a manner in it that half answered.
4264	Ought n’t we, ” she asked, “ to think a little of others?
4264	Really so little. ” “ Five pounds? ” He continued to look at her.
4264	Rest on it. ” “ On his ignorance? ” Fanny met it again.
4264	SHE thinks, dear Fanny, that we ought to be greater. ” “ Greater--? ” He echoed it vaguely.
4264	She can come up. ” “ CAN she? ” Fanny Assingham questioned.
4264	She drove me home. ” “ Home here? ” “ First to Portland Place-- on her leaving her father: since she does, once in a while, leave him.
4264	She groaned to herself, while the vain imagination lasted, “ WHY did he marry?
4264	She had begun, a year ago, by asking herself how she could make him think more of her; but what was it, after all, he was thinking now?
4264	She had challenged them as soon as read them, had met them with a “ Do you want then to go and tell her? ” that had somehow made them ridiculous.
4264	She had not then read it-- but was n’t she reading it when she now saw in it his surmise that she was perhaps to be squared?
4264	She has gained me time; and that, these three months, do n’t you see?
4264	She has just been here. ” “ Miss Stant?
4264	She has solemnly promised. ” “ But in words--? ” “ Oh yes, in words enough-- since it ’s a matter of words.
4264	She kept off, she stayed away, she left him free; and what, moreover, were her silences to Maggie but a direct aid to him?
4264	She likes, that is-- as all pleasant people do-- to be liked. ” “ Ah, she likes to be liked? ” her companion had gone on.
4264	She may think, ” said Maggie, “ what she likes. ” “ Think it without my protest--? ” The Princess made a movement.
4264	She ought to have understood you better. ” “ Better than you did? ” “ Yes, ” he gravely maintained, “ better than I did.
4264	She thinks it MAY be, her doom, the awful place over there-- awful for HER; but she ’s afraid to ask, do n’t you see?
4264	She was saying to herself in secret: “ CAN we again, in this form, migrate there?
4264	She would now particularly like to. ” “ Has she told you so? ” “ Not yet.
4264	She ’ll have to save HIM. ” “ To ‘ save ’ him--? ” “ To keep her father from her own knowledge.
4264	So they remained a little; after which, “ But do you believe it, love? ” Fanny inquired.
4264	TAKE that. ” “ Take it--? ” Maggie stared.
4264	THEIR forms. ” “ ‘ Theirs’--? ” “ Maggie ’s and Mr. Verver’s-- those they IMPOSE on Charlotte and the Prince.
4264	That was his business. ” “ My father ’s? ” Maggie asked after an hesitation.
4264	That was intended, I think, was n’t it?
4264	That was really what we meant, was n’t it?
4264	That was their little romance-- it was even their little tragedy. ” “ But what the deuce did they DO? ” “ Do?
4264	That was their little romance-- it was even their little tragedy. ” “ But what the deuce did they DO? ” “ Do?
4264	That was what she had-- as HE had-- the reason to see. ” “ And their reason is what you call their romance? ” She looked at him a moment.
4264	That you believe there ’s nothing I ’m afraid of?
4264	That ’s another. ” “ You feel, in other words, that she lies to you? ” Bob Assingham more sociably asked.
4264	That ’s just what makes everything so nice for us. ” “ Everything? ” He had wondered.
4264	That, I think, ” she added, “ is the way I ’ve best known. ” “ Known? ” he repeated after a moment.
4264	The only thing is that I have to act as it demands of me. ” “ To ‘ act ’? ” said Mrs. Assingham with an irrepressible quaver.
4264	Their situation”--this was what he did n’t see--“is too extraordinary. ” “ ‘ Too ’? ” He was willing to try.
4264	Then what more do you want? ” “ Ah, what you see! ” said Maggie.
4264	Then when this had come to an end: “ And do you believe in Charlotte yet? ” Mrs. Assingham had a demur that she felt she could now afford.
4264	Then you want US to-- you and me?
4264	Then, darling, what HAVE you--? ” “ Asked him for?
4264	Then, darling, what HAVE you--? ” “ Asked him for?
4264	There are always possibilities. ” “ Then, if we can but strike so wild, why keep meddling? ” It made her again look at him.
4264	There was much indeed in the tone in which Adam Verver spoke again, and who shall say where his thought stopped?
4264	There ’s nothing to prevent. ” “ Is it a strict moral obligation? ” Adam Verver inquired.
4264	There ’s nothing. ” “ Nothing--? ” It was like giving her his hand up the bank.
4264	Therefore if there ’s evidence, up and down London-- ” “ There must be people in possession of it?
4264	Therefore, ” she demanded-- but smiling at him now--“where ’s the logic? ” “ Oh, the logic--! ” he laughed.
4264	They make it credible. ” “ Credible then-- you do say-- to YOU? ” She looked at him again for an interval.
4264	They were of the colour-- of what on earth?
4264	They ’ll manage. ” “ They ’ll manage, you mean, to do everything they want?
4264	Though even I--! ” “ Well, even you? ” Maggie pressed as he paused.
4264	To keep up HER lie so long as I keep up mine. ” “ And what do you call ‘ her ’ lie? ” “ Why, the pretence that she believes me.
4264	To whom have the Prince and Charlotte then been too charming? ” “ To each other, in the first place-- obviously.
4264	To- day, however, ” Mrs. Assingham added, “ to- day in Eaton Square I did see. ” “ Well then, what? ” But she mused over it still.
4264	Under my clothes? ” “ Wherever you like.
4264	Variety of imagination-- what is that but fatal, in the world of affairs, unless so disciplined as not to be distinguished from monotony?
4264	Very well, then: with the elements after all so mixed in him, how long would he go on enjoying mere spectatorship of that act?
4264	WHY, you dear delightful woman, did you like it? ” “ I scarce know what to make, ” she said, “ of such an inquiry.
4264	Was n’t her father meanwhile only pretending to talk of it?
4264	Was n’t it a sign of something rather portentous, their being ready to be beholden, as for a diversion, to the once despised Kitty and Dotty?
4264	Was n’t this consensus literally their only way not to be ungracious?
4264	We HAVE worked it, and what more can you do than that?
4264	We can be anything. ” “ Absolute idiots then? ” “ Absolute idiots.
4264	We must manage not to sink. ” “ You do believe I ’m not a hypocrite?
4264	We ’re all nice together-- as why should n’t we be?
4264	What IS my share? ” “ Why, any you like-- the one you seemed just now eager to take.
4264	What did he do but take it from her that if she felt herself willing it was because she felt herself strong?
4264	What did she pretend was going to happen, and what, at the worst, could the poor girl do, even granting she wanted to do anything?
4264	What did you get me-- since that was your aim and end-- for a wedding- gift? ” The Prince continued very nobly to bethink himself.
4264	What do you believe, what do you KNOW? ” Oh, if she went by faces her visitor ’s sudden whiteness, at this, might have carried her far!
4264	What do you make of all that I ’ve done for myself? ” “ ‘ Yourself’?-- ” She brightened out with derision.
4264	What do you make of it that the Prince did n’t tell her anything?
4264	What do you make, ” he went on, “ of what I ’ve done for my reputation? ” “ Your reputation THERE?
4264	What do you make, ” he went on, “ of what I ’ve done for my reputation? ” “ Your reputation THERE?
4264	What does it show but that you ’re truly susceptible? ” “ Well, it may show that”--he defended himself against nothing.
4264	What does that show, after all, ” she asked, “ but that you do really, well within, feel a want?
4264	What else had she herself meant three minutes before by speaking of her as great?
4264	What else have we been talking about?
4264	What had she done, that last evening in Maggie ’s room, but bring the husband and wife more together than, as would seem, they had ever been?
4264	What has opened her eyes? ” “ They were never really shut.
4264	What he had just said was a direct plea for that, and what was the plea itself but an act of submission to Charlotte?
4264	What idea in fact could he have?
4264	What indeed had she come home for but to bury, as decently as possible, her mistake?
4264	What is it that has happened for me? ” His hostess, the next moment, had drawn spirit from his tone.
4264	What more COULD it be? ” “ It could be that she ’s unhappy, and that she takes her funny little way of consoling herself.
4264	What more does the position admit of?
4264	What more need Fanny Assingham want? ” “ Ah, my dear, ” said Charlotte, “ it ’s not I who say that she need want anything.
4264	What retarded evolution, she asked herself in these hours, might n’t poor Charlotte all unwittingly have precipitated?
4264	What was his frank judgment of so much of its ugliness, he asked himself, but a part of the cultivation of humility?
4264	What was it else, ” Maggie Verver had also said, “ that made me originally think of you?
4264	What was it, in the name of wonder, that she was so bent on being responsible FOR?
4264	What would therefore be more open to him than to keep her in love with him?
4264	What would this mean but that, practically, he was never to be tried or tested?
4264	What wound HAD she received-- as to which she had exchanged the least word with them?
4264	What, at the worst, for that matter, could she be conceived to have in her head?
4264	What, inconceivably, was it like?
4264	What, naturally, in the way of the priceless, has n’t she got?
4264	When, in their common past, when till this moment, had she shown a fear, however dumbly, for his individual life?
4264	Who but a billionaire could say what was fair exchange for a billion?
4264	Who could say to what making- up might lead, into what consenting or pretending or destroying blindness it might plunge her?
4264	Who could tell, as yet, what, thanks to it, they would n’t have done before the end?
4264	Who was there, for that matter, to raise one, from the moment Mrs. Assingham, informed and apparently not disapproving, did n’t intervene?
4264	Who would have thought it, and where would it all stop?
4264	Why SHOULD she, of a sudden, at this particular moment, desire to ship you off together and to remain here alone with me?
4264	Why in the world should n’t she, with every right-- if, on consideration, she saw no good reason against it?
4264	Why not take them, when they occur, as inevitable-- and, above all, as not endangering life or limb?
4264	Why otherwise, with such an opportunity, had n’t he demanded it?
4264	Why so breathless a start? ” “ Because they want to congratulate us.
4264	Why this precautionary view, she asked herself afresh, when her father had complained, at the very least, as little as herself?
4264	Why too, for that matter, had he need of defences, material or other?--how was it a question of dangers really to be called such?
4264	Why, into the bargain, for that matter-- this came to Maggie-- couldn’t they always live, so far as they lived together, in a boat?
4264	Why, of course, ” said the Princess limpidly, “ she MUST! ” “ Well then--? ” “ Well then, you think, he must have told her?
4264	Why, of course, ” said the Princess limpidly, “ she MUST! ” “ Well then--? ” “ Well then, you think, he must have told her?
4264	Will he go at Whitsuntide, and will he then stay on? ” Maggie went through the form of thought.
4264	With their stillness together so perfect, what had suggested so, around them, the attitude of sparing them?
4264	Wo n’t he see it then? ” On which Maggie gave her, after an instant ’s visible thought, the strangest of slow headshakes.
4264	Would she have led him altogether, attached as he was to her, into the wilderness of mere mistakes?
4264	Would she throw herself into his arms, or would she be otherwise wonderful?
4264	Would that break the spell, his saying he had no idea?
4264	Yet what was he but certain?
4264	You can ask me anything under the sun you like, because, do n’t you see?
4264	You can make her, ” he said, “ positively happy about me. ” “ About you? ” she thoughtfully echoed.
4264	You can see for yourself. ” “ Have you seen for YOUR self? ” She faltered but an instant.
4264	You did n’t see, all the while? ” She only continued, however, to stare.
4264	You have n’t been broken with, because in your RELATION what can there have been, worth speaking of, to break?
4264	You mean you ’ve thought--? ” “ I mean, my dear, that I ’ve seen.
4264	You recognise that I do n’t lie or dissemble or deceive?
4264	You speak of our being ‘ frank. ’ How can we possibly be anything else?
4264	You would have spoken to- morrow? ” “ I think I would have waited. ” “ And for what? ” he asked.
4264	You would have spoken to- morrow? ” “ I think I would have waited. ” “ And for what? ” he asked.
4264	You ’ve only to speak to your man about yours, and they can go together. ” “ You mean we can leave at once? ” She let him have it all.
4264	and my making it easy for you to see the child?
4264	has been everything. ” She had said “ Do n’t you see? ” on purpose, and was to feel the next moment that it had acted.
4264	just as she was, in a manner, pretending to listen?
4264	of what but the extraordinary American good faith?
4264	quite enough for our breakfast?
4264	to go by. ” “ You ’ve been thinking for months and months? ” Mrs. Assingham took it in.
4264	what good, again-- for it was much like his question about Mr. Verver-- should he ever have done her?
4264	why in the world?
4264	wo n’t you have my shawl? ” everything might have crumbled away in the comparative poverty of the tribute.
4264	‘ Let us then be up and doing’--what is it Longfellow says?
4264	“ A crack?
4264	“ A torment--? ” “ A torment, ” said Maggie with tears in her eyes.
4264	“ About the way-- yes. ” “ Well then--? ” She spoke as for the end and for other matters-- for anything, everything, else there might be.
4264	“ Above all, ” she said, “ there has been the personal romance of it. ” “ Of tea with me over the fire?
4264	“ Afraid of what? ” “ Afraid of themselves. ” The Colonel wondered.
4264	“ Ah, but does Charlotte let HIM? ” “ Oh, that ’s another affair-- with which I ’ve practically nothing to do.
4264	“ Ah, but, you know, that ’s rather jolly! ” “ Jolly’--? ” she turned upon it, again, at the foot of the staircase.
4264	“ Am I in the least sure that, with everything, he even knows what it is?
4264	“ Amerigo--? ” After which, however, she blushed-- to her companion ’s recognition.
4264	“ An incredible little idealist-- Charlotte herself? ” “ And she was sincere, ” his wife simply proceeded “ she was unmistakably sincere.
4264	“ And Amerigo too, you say? ” “ Ah yes”--her reply was prompt “ but Amerigo does n’t mind.
4264	“ And have you made out the very train--? ” “ The very one.
4264	“ And is it also what you mean by Charlotte ’s being ‘ great ’? ” “ Well, ” said Maggie, “ it ’s one of her ways.
4264	“ And is it for that you did it?
4264	“ And that ’s the way YOU love? ” For a minute she failed to speak, but at last she answered: “ It was n’t to talk about that.
4264	“ And what does the Prince work like? ” She fixed him in return.
4264	“ And what reason is there, in the world, after all, why he and I should n’t, as you say, show together?
4264	“ And what reason shall I give-- give, I mean, your father? ” “ For asking him to go off?
4264	“ And what reason shall I give-- give, I mean, your father? ” “ For asking him to go off?
4264	“ And what then has HE done? ” Maggie took again a minute.
4264	“ And what then is the name? ” “ ‘ The reduction to its simplest expression of what we ARE doing’--that ’s what he called it.
4264	“ And what would it be-- a-- definitely that you understand by that? ” She had only for an instant not found it easy to say.
4264	“ And what, pray, WAS the price? ” She paused again a little.
4264	“ And why, ” he asked, almost soothingly, “ should it be terrible? ” He could n’t, at the worst, see that.
4264	“ And will she stay very long? ” His friend gave a laugh.
4264	“ And you call ME immoral? ” She hesitated.
4264	“ And you have it from him?--your husband himself has told you? ” “ ‘ Told ’ me--? ” “ Why, what you speak of.
4264	“ And you have it from him?--your husband himself has told you? ” “ ‘ Told ’ me--? ” “ Why, what you speak of.
4264	“ And your point is that they ’re not doing so? ” “ I ’ve left them, ” she went on, “ but now I see how and where.
4264	“ Any one--? ” “ Any one, I mean, but Fanny Assingham. ” “ I should have supposed you had had by this time particular means of learning.
4264	“ Are n’t you and your husband-- in spite of everything? ” Maggie ’s eyes still further, if possible, dilated.
4264	“ Are you speaking now of something to which you can comfortably settle down? ” Again, for a little, she only glowered at him.
4264	“ Are you trying to frighten me? ” “ Ah, that ’s a foolish view-- I should be too vulgar.
4264	“ Are you very sure? ” she had presently asked.
4264	“ As to whom then do you confess it? ” “ Ah, mio caro, that’s-- if to anyone-- my own business! ” He continued to look at her hard.
4264	“ Because Fanny Assingham thought so? ” “ Oh no; she never thought, she could n’t think, if she would, anything of that sort.
4264	“ Because not to--! ” “ Well, not to--? ” “ Would make me have to speak of him.
4264	“ Because now they know. ” “ They ‘ know ’? ” Fanny Assingham quavered.
4264	“ Because she ’s so great. ” “ Great--? ” “ Great in nature, in character, in spirit.
4264	“ Because she ’s so handsome? ” “ No, father. ” And the Princess was almost solemn.
4264	“ Because you think I must have so little?
4264	“ But I do n’t make out, you see, what case against me you rest-- ” “ On everything I ’m telling you?
4264	“ But WHAT then, dear Maggie, have you been thinking? ” “ Well, horrible things-- like a little beast that I perhaps am.
4264	“ But did you ever like knocking about in such discomfort? ” “ It seems to me now that I then liked everything.
4264	“ But does n’t it rather depend on what she may most feel to BE the right way? ” “ No-- it depends on nothing.
4264	“ But enough for what then, dear-- if not enough to break her heart? ” “ Enough to give her a shaking! ” Mrs. Assingham rather oddly replied.
4264	“ But for what purpose is it your idea that they should again so intimately meet? ” “ For any purpose they like.
4264	“ But has she told you nothing? ” “ Ah, thank goodness, no! ” He stared.
4264	“ But he did n’t explain--? ” “ Explain?
4264	“ But he did n’t explain--? ” “ Explain?
4264	“ But how can we be more--? ” “ For them?
4264	“ But how can we be more--? ” “ For them?
4264	“ But if he neither denies nor confesses--? ” “ He does what ’s a thousand times better-- he lets it alone.
4264	“ But it isn’t-- is it? ” he asked--“as if they were leaving each other? ” “ Oh no; it is n’t as if they were leaving each other.
4264	“ But it isn’t-- is it? ” he asked--“as if they were leaving each other? ” “ Oh no; it is n’t as if they were leaving each other.
4264	“ But sha n’t you then so much as miss her a little?
4264	“ But the Prince then--? ” “ How is HE held? ” Maggie asked.
4264	“ But the Prince then--? ” “ How is HE held? ” Maggie asked.
4264	“ But what can I make her about herself? ” “ Oh, if she ’s at ease about me the rest will take care of itself.
4264	“ But what else can you do? ” “ I take it from him, ” the Princess repeated.
4264	“ But what has that to do--? ” “ It has everything.
4264	“ But what then has happened, from one day to the other, to HER?
4264	“ But when you come home--?
4264	“ But where does the connection come in? ” His wife was prompt.
4264	“ But wo n’t they know we ’re not? ” She barely hesitated.
4264	“ CAN’T she? ” Maggie returned.
4264	“ Ca n’t a man be, all his life then, ” he almost fiercely asked, “ anything but a father? ” But he went on before she could answer.
4264	“ Ca n’t she be stopped?
4264	“ Comes to our not being able to help her? ” “ That ’s the way we SHALL help her. ” “ By looking like fools? ” She threw up her hands.
4264	“ Comes to our not being able to help her? ” “ That ’s the way we SHALL help her. ” “ By looking like fools? ” She threw up her hands.
4264	“ Consoled? ” “ Forsaken. ” “ No-- I have n’t.
4264	“ Conspiring-- so far as YOU were concerned-- to what end? ” “ Why, to the obvious end of getting the Prince a wife-- at Maggie ’s expense.
4264	“ Cosa volete? ” The effect, beautifully, nobly, was more than Roman.
4264	“ Do YOU like it? ” He came no nearer; he looked at their companion.
4264	“ Do n’t believe in it?
4264	“ Do n’t you appear rather to put it to me that I may accept your offer for Maggie ’s sake?
4264	“ Do n’t you really want us to go--? ” Maggie found a faint smile.
4264	“ Do n’t you think he ’s charming? ” “ Oh, charming, ” said Charlotte Stant.
4264	“ Do n’t you think then I can take care of myself? ” “ Ah, it ’s exactly what I ’ve gone upon.
4264	“ Do n’t you think too much of ‘ cracks, ’ and are n’t you too afraid of them?
4264	“ Do n’t you want to read it? ” He thought.
4264	“ Do you begin, a little, to be satisfied? ” Still, however, she had to think.
4264	“ Do you feel Mrs. Rance to be charming? ” “ Well, I feel her to be formidable.
4264	“ Do you know what I ’m really thinking of? ” she asked.
4264	“ Do you like it then? ” Charlotte turned to her friend.
4264	“ Do you mean I’M your difficulty? ” “ You and he together-- since it ’s always with you that I ’ve had to see him.
4264	“ Do you mean because you ’re going? ” “ Oh yes, of course we ’re going.
4264	“ Do you mean grave for me? ” “ Oh, that everything ’s grave for ‘ you ’ is what we take for granted and are fundamentally talking about.
4264	“ Do you mean if you give in? ” “ Oh no.
4264	“ Do you mean leave him to HER?
4264	“ Do you mean she ’ll ASK it of me? ” It gave him indeed, as by communication, a sense of the propriety of being himself certain.
4264	“ Do you mean they ’ve TOLD you--? ” “ No-- I mean nothing so absurd.
4264	“ Do you mean write it to her? ” “ Quite so.
4264	“ Do you mean write to her myself? ” “ Yes-- it would be kind.
4264	“ Do you mean, ” he presently asked, “ that he had already forgot about Charlotte? ” She faced round as if he had touched a spring.
4264	“ Do you propose it seriously-- without wishing to play me a trick? ” She wondered.
4264	“ Do you really want to--? ” It made her friend colour.
4264	“ Do you remember how, this morning, when you told me of this event, I asked you if there were anything particular you wished me to do?
4264	“ Do you see? ” “ I see, ” said Maggie at last.
4264	“ Do you speak from a suspicion of your own? ” “ I speak, at last, from a torment.
4264	“ Do you think Maggie so blind? ” “ The question is n’t of what I think.
4264	“ Do you think he does? ” “ Know at least something?
4264	“ Do you think he does? ” “ Know at least something?
4264	“ Do you think you could get it out of her for me-- the probable length of her stay? ” He rose bravely enough to the occasion and the challenge.
4264	“ Do you think you could? ” “ I? ” he wondered.
4264	“ Do you think you could? ” “ I? ” he wondered.
4264	“ Does crystal then break-- when it IS crystal?
4264	“ Does it take so much time? ” She herself, however, remained serious.
4264	“ Does one ever put into words anything so fatuously rash?
4264	“ Doubt what? ” Fanny pressed as she waited.
4264	“ Easily? ” “ She can utterly dishonour me with her father.
4264	“ Est- elle toujours aussi belle? ” That was the furthest point, somehow, to which Charlotte Stant could be relegated.
4264	“ Even if I were to scrape off the gold? ” He showed, though with due respect, that she amused him.
4264	“ For Mr. Verver? ” “ For Maggie-- about her seeing you early.
4264	“ For so long?
4264	“ For the truth as from him to her? ” “ From him to any one. ” Mrs. Assingham ’s face lighted.
4264	“ For your marriage? ” “ For my marriage.
4264	“ For ‘ us’--? ” “ For me and Charlotte.
4264	“ From the moment you and your father backed out? ” “ Oh, I do n’t mean go for those people; I mean go for us.
4264	“ Gold, really gold? ” she asked of their companion.
4264	“ Had n’t we better wait a while till we call it a catastrophe? ” Her rejoinder to this was to wait-- though by no means as long as he meant.
4264	“ Has Charlotte complained of the want of rooms for her friends? ” “ Never, that I know of, a word.
4264	“ Has Miss Stant now gone to her? ” “ She has gone back to her hotel, to bring her things here.
4264	“ Has it been his motive in letting me have you? ” “ Yes, my dear, positively-- or in a manner, ” she had said.
4264	“ Has n’t she the Prince then? ” “ For such matters?
4264	“ Has n’t she the Prince then? ” “ For such matters?
4264	“ Has n’t she then, Charlotte, always her husband--? ” “ To complain to?
4264	“ Has n’t she then, Charlotte, always her husband--? ” “ To complain to?
4264	“ Has she told you she likes me much? ” “ Certainly she has told me-- but I wo n’t pamper you.
4264	“ Has she told you? ” she then asked.
4264	“ Have I positively to tell you that she does n’t want us?
4264	“ Have you any ground of complaint of me?
4264	“ He believed in himself? ” “ Just as I too believed in him.
4264	“ He has been splendid. ” “ ‘ Splendid ’?
4264	“ He ’ll simply, he ’ll insistently have lied? ” Maggie brought it out roundly.
4264	“ He ’s keeping quiet then on purpose? ” “ On purpose. ” Maggie ’s lighted eyes, at least, looked further than they had ever looked.
4264	“ He ’s prodigious; but what is there-- as you ’ve ‘ fixed ’ it-- TO dodge?
4264	“ He ’s staying for high decency. ” “ Decency? ” Mrs. Assingham gravely echoed.
4264	“ Helping her ‘ with ’ him--? ” “ Helping her against him then.
4264	“ How CAN’T I, how ca n’t I? ” It fixed afresh Maggie ’s wide eyes on her.
4264	“ How I see that you loathed our marriage! ” “ Do you ASK me? ” Maggie after an instant demanded.
4264	“ How are you sure? ” She waited before saying, but when she spoke it was definite.
4264	“ How can Charlotte, after all, not have pressed him, not have attacked him about it?
4264	“ How can you tell whether if you did you would? ” It was ambiguous for an instant, as she showed she felt.
4264	“ How could n’t I, how could n’t I? ” Then, with a fine freedom, she went all her way.
4264	“ How could you see-- out in the street? ” “ I saw before I went out.
4264	“ How do you know how he behaves? ” “ Well, my own love, we see how Charlotte does! ” Again, at this, she faltered; but again she rose.
4264	“ How in the world can I know?
4264	“ How is HE held? ” “ Oh, I ca n’t tell you that! ” And the Princess again broke off.
4264	“ I do like you, you know. ” Well, what could this do but stimulate his humour?
4264	“ I do n’t see how you can give credit without knowing the facts. ” “ Ca n’t I give it-- generally-- for dignity?
4264	“ I know the name of the inn. ” “ What is it then? ” “ There are two-- you’ll see.
4264	“ I mean it ’s rather charming. ” “ ‘ Charming’--? ” It had still to be their law, a little, that she was tragic when he was comic.
4264	“ I never went into anything, and you see I do n’t; I ’ve continued to adore you-- but what ’s that, from a decent daughter to such a father?
4264	“ I strike you as modest to- day-- modest when I stand here and scream at you? ” “ Oh, your screaming, I ’ve granted you, is something new.
4264	“ I ’ll let you know, my dear, the day_ I_ feel you ’ve begun to sacrifice me. ” “ ‘ Begun ’? ” she extravagantly echoed.
4264	“ I ’m afraid I ’m not sure. ” “ Then how do you know? ” “ Well, I do n’t KNOW”--and, qualifying again, she was earnestly emphatic.
4264	“ I ’m talking about YOU. ” “ Do you mean I ’ve been your victim? ” “ Of course you ’ve been my victim.
4264	“ I ’ve come back to my belief, and that I have done so-- ” “ Well? ” he asked as she paused.
4264	“ If everything ’s so all right what is there to make up for? ” “ Why, if I did do either of them, by any chance, a wrong.
4264	“ If we could n’t be perfectly frank and dear with each other, it would be ever so much better, would n’t it?
4264	“ If we get her here to improve us do n’t we too then make use of her? ” It pulled the Princess up, however, but an instant.
4264	“ If we have people in the country then, as you were saying, do you know for whom my first fancy would be?
4264	“ Immediately? ” she thoughtfully echoed.
4264	“ In America? ” “ Yes, even there-- with my motive.
4264	“ In other words Maggie is, by her ignorance, in danger?
4264	“ In presence of what? ” “ Well, of something possibly beautiful.
4264	“ Is Charlotte, ” she had simply asked, “ really ready? ” “ Oh, if you and I and Amerigo are.
4264	“ Is THAT a lie? ” “ Do you think you ’re worth lying to?
4264	“ Is THAT a lie? ” “ Do you think you ’re worth lying to?
4264	“ Is it funny? ” Thus, finally, she again dropped her eyes on it, drawing in her lips a little.
4264	“ Is n’t it acting, my dear, to accept it?
4264	“ Is n’t she too splendid? ” she simply said, offering it to explain and to finish.
4264	“ Is that what I wanted? ” “ Oh, it was n’t for you to say.
4264	“ Is there anything-- do you think-- that you could? ” It made her just start.
4264	“ Is there even one thing left? ” “ Ah, my dear, my dear, my dear!”--it had pressed again in him the fine spring of the unspeakable.
4264	“ Is what it comes to that you ’re jealous of Charlotte? ” “ Do you mean whether I hate her?”--and Maggie thought.
4264	“ It was by seeing them together. ” “ Seeing her with her father? ” He fell behind again.
4264	“ It will be Maggie herself who will mete it out. ” “ Maggie--? ” “ SHE’LL know-- about her father; everything.
4264	“ It will make up. ” “ Make up for what? ” As she said nothing, however, his desire for lucidity renewed itself.
4264	“ It ’s for US, therefore, to be hers. ” “ ‘ Hers ’? ” “ You and I. It ’s for us to be Charlotte ’s.
4264	“ It ’s he then who has told you? ” She after a moment admitted it.
4264	“ It ’s he. ” “ And he does n’t lie? ” “ No-- to do him justice.
4264	“ It ’s what you brought me out for? ” “ Well, that ’s, at any rate, ” she returned, “ my own affair.
4264	“ Jealous, unhappy, tormented--?
4264	“ Leave it, ” he at last remarked, “ to THEM. ” “ ‘ Leave ’ it--? ” She wondered.
4264	“ Leave me my reserve; do n’t question it-- it ’s all I have, just now, do n’t you see?
4264	“ Leave them to pull through? ” “ Precisely.
4264	“ Like a Prince? ” “ Like a Prince.
4264	“ Maggie and the child spread so? ” “ Maggie and the child spread so. ” Well, he considered.
4264	“ Make them up, I mean, by coming to see YOU? ” Charlotte replied, however, without, as her friend would have phrased it, turning a hair.
4264	“ Marriage then, ” said Mrs. Assingham, “ is what you call the monster?
4264	“ May have bolted somewhere together? ” “ May have stayed over at Matcham itself till tomorrow.
4264	“ May n’t she also be said, a good deal, to have made yours?
4264	“ My dear child, you ’re amazing. ” “ Amazing--? ” “ You ’re terrible. ” Maggie thoughtfully shook her head.
4264	“ My vessel, dear Prince? ” she smiled.
4264	“ Never? ” “ Never. ” They treated the matter not exactly with solemnity, but with a certain decency, even perhaps urgency, of distinctness.
4264	“ No-- it ’s for the amusement. ” “ For whose?
4264	“ Nobody. ” “ Not-- a little-- Charlotte? ” “ A little? ” the Princess echoed.
4264	“ Nobody. ” “ Not-- a little-- Charlotte? ” “ A little? ” the Princess echoed.
4264	“ Not afraid of what? ” “ Well, generally, of some beastly mistake.
4264	“ Not good enough to stand it? ” “ Well, not good enough not rather to feel the strain.
4264	“ Not to be afraid really to speak? ” “ Not to be afraid NOT to speak. ” Mrs. Assingham considered further.
4264	“ Not to see you ’re lying? ” “ To stick to me fast, whatever she sees.
4264	“ Nothing perhaps but his knowing that she knew. ” “ ‘ Knew ’? ” “ That he was doing it, so much, for me.
4264	“ Nothing, I think-- at that place. ” “ What did you take then at any other?
4264	“ Of THEMSELVES?
4264	“ Of your father? ” “ For love, ” Maggie repeated.
4264	“ Of your husband? ” “ For love, ” Maggie said again.
4264	“ Oh dear no. ” “ You ’re English? ” To which the answer was this time, with a smile, in briefest Italian.
4264	“ Oh, you mean a change? ” “ Twenty changes, if you like-- all sorts of things.
4264	“ Our little question itself? ” Her appearance had in fact, at the moment, such an effect on him that he could answer but in marvelling mildness.
4264	“ Separate, my dear?
4264	“ She believed then in herself. ” “ Ah? ” Maggie murmured.
4264	“ She has arrived from America? ” he then quickly asked.
4264	“ She lets what--? ” “ Anything-- anything that you might do and that you do n’t.
4264	“ She ’d be so scandalised? ” “ She ’d be so frightened.
4264	“ She ’ll see me somehow through! ” “ See YOU--? ” “ Yes, me.
4264	“ Should n’t you? ” “ Her letting you see?
4264	“ Should n’t you? ” “ Her letting you see?
4264	“ Should you require to see the Prince ’s? ” “ Not a bit.
4264	“ Since--? ” “ And he may have become aware, ” Maggie pursued, “ that she has found it out.
4264	“ So cleverly-- THAT ’S your idea?--that no one will be the wiser?
4264	“ So much as that? ” “ Do you think it ’s too much? ” She continued to think plainly.
4264	“ So much as that? ” “ Do you think it ’s too much? ” She continued to think plainly.
4264	“ So she ’s coming now? ” “ I expect her at any moment.
4264	“ So you ’re all right? ” “ Oh, ALL right ’s a good deal to say.
4264	“ Stand one--? ” “ Well, mind her coming. ” He stared-- then he laughed.
4264	“ Taking, you mean, YOUR carriage? ” “ I do n’t know which, and it does n’t matter.
4264	“ Terrible? ” “ Well, unless one is almost as good as she.
4264	“ That danger BEING the blindness--? ” “ That danger being their position.
4264	“ That you think it would be so charming? ” “ That I think it would be so charming.
4264	“ That ’s not encouraging then to me, is it? ” the Prince went on.
4264	“ The Prince and Charlotte? ” “ The Prince and Charlotte.
4264	“ The Prince made her think--? ” Maggie stared-- she had meant her father.
4264	“ The difficulty of my enjoyment of that is, do n’t you see?
4264	“ The last? ” “ I take it as their good- bye. ” And she smiled as she could always smile.
4264	“ The same thing. ” “ Then you ’re no longer unhappy? ” her guest urged, coming more gaily toward her.
4264	“ The two of us?
4264	“ Their situation? ” “ The incredible side of it.
4264	“ Then Lady Castledean--? ” “ Does n’t dream of our staying. ” He took it, but thinking yet.
4264	“ Then does any one else know? ” It was as near as he could come to naming her father, and she kept him at that distance.
4264	“ Then how do you know so where, as you say, you ‘ are ’? ” “ Why, just BY that.
4264	“ Then how is Charlotte so held? ” “ Just by that. ” “ By her ignorance? ” “ By her ignorance. ” Fanny wondered.
4264	“ Then how is Charlotte so held? ” “ Just by that. ” “ By her ignorance? ” “ By her ignorance. ” Fanny wondered.
4264	“ Then if it ’s so precious, how comes it to be cheap? ” Her interlocutor once more hung fire, but by this time the Prince had lost patience.
4264	“ Then if she ’s so happy, please what ’s the matter? ” It made his wife almost spring at him.
4264	“ Then it all depends on that object that you regard, for your reasons, as evidence? ” “ I think I may say that_ I_ depend on it.
4264	“ Then it all depends on the bowl?
4264	“ Then it ’s a good deal my fault-- if everything really began so well? ” Fanny Assingham met it as she could.
4264	“ Then nobody knows--?
4264	“ Then she only thought US fools? ” “ Oh no-- I do n’t say that.
4264	“ Then the fun would begin? ” As it but made her look at him hard, however, he amended the form of his inquiry.
4264	“ Then what does she dream--? ” “ Of Mr. Blint, poor dear; of Mr. Blint only. ” Her smile for him-- for the Prince himself-- was free.
4264	“ Then where ’s the difficulty? ” “ There is n’t any! ” Fanny declared with the same rich emphasis.
4264	“ Then why are you troubled? ” It pulled her up-- but only for a minute.
4264	“ Then why in the world not? ” Maggie ’s face lighted anew, but it was now another light.
4264	“ Then why the deuce does he-- oh, poor dear man!--behave as if he were? ” She took a moment to meet it.
4264	“ Then you intend not to speak to him--? ” Maggie waited.
4264	“ Then you ’ve made up yours differently?
4264	“ Then, then what? ” he asked with perfect good- nature.
4264	“ There IS a split, eh?
4264	“ There seems a kind of charm, does n’t there?
4264	“ There ’s always the question of what one considers--! ” “ What one considers intimate?
4264	“ These three months ’? ” the Prince asked.
4264	“ They have their reasons-- many things to think of; how can one tell?
4264	“ They were n’t to have started for another week. ” “ Well, what then?
4264	“ Through what? ” “ Through everything.
4264	“ Till they ’ve been here, you mean? ” “ Yes, till they ’ve gone.
4264	“ To criticise her?
4264	“ To make you feel better? ” “ Well, ” he replied frankly, wonderfully--“it will.
4264	“ To save herself? ” “ Well, also, really, I think, to save HIM too.
4264	“ To your father? ” But it made her hesitate too; she would n’t speak of her father directly.
4264	“ Watches him? ” “ For the first faint sign.
4264	“ Water- tight-- the biggest compartment of all?
4264	“ We go over, you say, to meet them? ” “ As soon as we can get back to Fawns.
4264	“ We may n’t even be sorry for her? ” “ Not now-- or at least not yet.
4264	“ We start to- night to bring you all our love and joy and sympathy. ” There they were, the words, and what did she want more?
4264	“ Wear it, per Bacco! ” “ Where then, please?
4264	“ Well then, what? ” But she threw back her head, she turned impatiently away from him.
4264	“ Well, I back poor Charlotte. ” “ ‘ Back ’ her? ” “ To know what she wants. ” “ Ah then, so do I.
4264	“ Well, I hope--! ” “ Hope he ’ll see her? ” Maggie hesitated, however; she made no direct reply.
4264	“ Well, has n’t he been away? ” “ Yes, just long enough to see how he likes it.
4264	“ Well, never what? ” “ Never been half so interested in you as now.
4264	“ Well, when I go on--? ” “ Why, you make me quite want to ship back myself.
4264	“ Well, ” his daughter returned, “ you know how far, in a general way, Charlotte Stant goes. ” “ Charlotte?
4264	“ Well? ” “ Well, shall be perfect. ” “ That ’s very fine, ” she presently answered.
4264	“ Were you amused at me just now-- when I wondered what other people could wish to struggle for?
4264	“ What I ca n’t for my life make out is your idea of the old boy. ” “ Charlotte ’s too inconceivably funny husband?
4264	“ What I should rather say is does he know how much? ” She found it still awkward.
4264	“ What IS the matter with it? ” “ Oh, it ’s not for me to say; it ’s for you honestly to tell me.
4264	“ What awfulness, in heaven ’s name, is there between them?
4264	“ What could be more simple than one ’s going through with everything, ” she had asked, “ when it ’s so plain a part of one ’s contract?
4264	“ What day? ” “ The day you marry.
4264	“ What did you mean some minutes ago by his not caring for Charlotte? ” “ The Prince ’s?
4264	“ What did you mean some minutes ago by his not caring for Charlotte? ” “ The Prince ’s?
4264	“ What do you call the most? ” “ Well, she did it originally-- she began the vicious circle.
4264	“ What do you make of it that, by your own show, Charlotte could n’t tell her all?
4264	“ What do you make of what I ’ve done for American City? ” It took her but a moment to say.
4264	“ What do you make then of what I wanted? ” “ I do n’t make anything, any more than of what you ’ve got.
4264	“ What do you mean by ‘ properly ’?
4264	“ What do you want more? ” “ Did n’t HE, ” the Colonel inquired, “ want anything more?
4264	“ What do you want more? ” “ Did n’t HE, ” the Colonel inquired, “ want anything more?
4264	“ What does it matter-- if I ’ve failed? ” “ You recognise then that you ’ve failed? ” asked Charlotte from the threshold.
4264	“ What does it matter-- if I ’ve failed? ” “ You recognise then that you ’ve failed? ” asked Charlotte from the threshold.
4264	“ What does it strike you that I ’ve done? ” “ What you wanted.
4264	“ What else can we do, what in all the world else? ” He took them up, however, no more than at first.
4264	“ What has she done-- in life? ” “ Well, she has been brave and bright, ” said Maggie.
4264	“ What in the world SHOULD it be? ” “ Ah, that ’s not for me to imagine, and I should be very sorry to have to try to say!
4264	“ What in the world can she do against us?
4264	“ What in the world, between them, ever took place? ” “ Between Charlotte and the Prince?
4264	“ What in the world, between them, ever took place? ” “ Between Charlotte and the Prince?
4264	“ What is a quarrel with me but a quarrel with my right to recognise the conditions of my bargain?
4264	“ What is it then, dear, you want? ” But the girl looked only at their companion.
4264	“ What life would they like us to lead? ” “ Oh, it ’s not a question, I think, on which they quite feel together.
4264	“ What makes you want to ask it? ” “ My natural desire to know.
4264	“ What she does like, ” he finally said, “ is the way it has succeeded. ” “ Your marriage? ” “ Yes-- my whole idea.
4264	“ What should I have gone out for? ” “ Oh, what should people in our case do anything for?
4264	“ What should I have gone out for? ” “ Oh, what should people in our case do anything for?
4264	“ What then will protect ME? ” “ Where I ’m concerned_ I_ will.
4264	“ What then, may I ask IS your plan? ” It hung fire but ten seconds; it came out sharp.
4264	“ What trick would it be? ” He looked at her harder.
4264	“ What vessel, in the world, have I?
4264	“ What would you? ” “ Oh; I oh-- that is n’t the question.
4264	“ What you came back from America to ask?
4264	“ What ’s your father ’s idea, this year, then, about Fawns?
4264	“ Where is the weak place? ” She then did the question justice.
4264	“ Where then have you been? ” he asked as from mere interest in her adventure.
4264	“ Where would you have been, my dear, if I had n’t meddled with YOU? ” “ Ah, that was n’t meddling-- I was your own.
4264	“ Which he shows by letting you, as you say, alone? ” Maggie looked at her a minute.
4264	“ Which of them do you call her best friend? ” She gave a toss of impatience.
4264	“ Who ’ll keep the others? ” “ The others--? ” “ Who ’ll keep THEM quiet?
4264	“ Who ’ll keep the others? ” “ The others--? ” “ Who ’ll keep THEM quiet?
4264	“ Who ’ll keep the others? ” “ The others--? ” “ Who ’ll keep THEM quiet?
4264	“ Whose husband ’s? ” “ Mr.
4264	“ Why do you speak of the unhappiness of your father ’s wife? ” They exchanged a long look-- the time that it took her to find her reply.
4264	“ Why handsome? ” Maggie would have been free to ask; since if she had been veracious the service assuredly would not have been huge.
4264	“ Why is she unhappy if she does n’t know? ” “ Does n’t know--? ” She tried to make his logic difficult.
4264	“ Why is she unhappy if she does n’t know? ” “ Does n’t know--? ” She tried to make his logic difficult.
4264	“ Why not?
4264	“ Why should n’t Charlotte be just one of MY reasons-- my not liking to leave her?
4264	“ Why, his ‘ form, ’ ” he had returned, “ might have made one doubt. ” “ Father ’s form? ” She had n’t seen it.
4264	“ Why, if you like it, you know, it wo n’t BE a collapse. ” “ Then why talk about seeing me through at all?
4264	“ Why, is n’t that just what we have been talking about-- that I ’ve affected you as fairly studying his comfort and his pleasure?
4264	“ Will you promise me then to be at peace? ” She looked, while she debated, at his admirable present.
4264	“ With the Prince--? ” “ FOR the Prince.
4264	“ With what I ’m doing now? ” “ You ’re promising me now what I want.
4264	“ Worse than that Charlotte--? ” “ Ah, do n’t tell me, ” she cried, “ that there COULD have been nothing worse.
4264	“ Worth it, the little sacrifice, for whom?
4264	“ Would n’t you find out if it were a question of parting with me?
4264	“ Would you allow me--? ” “ No, ” said the Prince into his little box.
4264	“ YOUR marriage is on Friday?--on Saturday? ” “ Oh, on Friday, no!
4264	“ Yes, but it is n’t for that. ” “ Then what is it for? ” “ Simply that she may be THERE-- just there before us.
4264	“ Yes, but to whom?--doesn’t it rather depend on that?
4264	“ Yes-- isn’t it one of the best?
4264	“ Yet if he lets you alone and you only let him--? ” “ May n’t our doing so, you mean, be noticed?--mayn’t it give us away?
4264	“ Yet if he lets you alone and you only let him--? ” “ May n’t our doing so, you mean, be noticed?--mayn’t it give us away?
4264	“ You COULD be-- otherwise? ” “ Oh, how can I talk, ” she asked, “ of otherwise?
4264	“ You COULD be-- otherwise? ” “ Oh, how can I talk, ” she asked, “ of otherwise?
4264	“ You WILL put it to her yourself then? ” She had another hesitation.
4264	“ You answer for it without having looked? ” “ I did look.
4264	“ You believe so in Mr. Verver ’s innocence after two years of Charlotte? ” She stared.
4264	“ You have n’t, I rather gather, particularly liked your country? ” They would stick, for the time, to their English.
4264	“ You hold there ’s no limit to what you ‘ can ’? ” “ I do n’t say there ’s no limit, or anything of the sort.
4264	“ You imagine, poor child, that the wretches are in love?
4264	“ You looked it up-- without my having asked you? ” “ Ah, my dear, ” she laughed, “ I ’ve seen you with Bradshaw!
4264	“ You mean because you do rather like her? ” He on his side too had waited a little, but then he had taken it from her.
4264	“ You mean one could smash it with a hammer? ” “ Yes; if nothing else would do.
4264	“ You mean she wo n’t mind?
4264	“ You mean she ’ll get the Prince back? ” She raised her hand in quick impatience: the suggestion might have been almost abject.
4264	“ You mean that in that case she WILL, charming creature, be lost? ” She was silent a moment more.
4264	“ You mean you really do n’t know? ” “ But know what? ” “ Why, what ’s the matter with it.
4264	“ You mean you really do n’t know? ” “ But know what? ” “ Why, what ’s the matter with it.
4264	“ You mean you were so at your ease on Monday-- the night you dined with us? ” “ I was very happy then, ” said Maggie.
4264	“ You mean you ’ve arranged--? ” “ It ’s easy to arrange.
4264	“ You never HAVE entertained it? ” Maggie pursued.
4264	“ You say your husband ’s ill?
4264	“ You stayed as long as possible? ” “ Well, it seemed to me so-- but I had n’t ‘ interests. ’ You ’ll have them-- on a great scale.
4264	“ You talk about rest-- it ’s too selfish!--when you ’re just launching me on adventures? ” She shook her head with her kind lucidity.
4264	“ You think I ought to argue for more than mere existence? ” she asked.
4264	“ You think then I ’ve a share in it?
4264	“ You think then she ’s secretly wretched? ” But he threw up his arms in deprecation.
4264	“ You wo n’t take it from me? ” “ I wo n’t take it from you. ” “ Well, of course you wo n’t, for that ’s your way.
4264	“ You would n’t accept it from me? ” “ No, ” he repeated in the same way.
4264	“ You ’d like her for your honeymoon? ” “ Oh no, you must keep her for that.
4264	“ You ’re Italian then, are you? ” But the reply came in English.
4264	“ You ’ve never even imagined anything? ” “ Ah, God forbid!--for it ’s exactly as a woman of imagination that I speak.
4264	“ You, darling, in that case, I verily believe, would have been the one to hate it most. ” “ To hate it--? ” Maggie had wondered.
4264	“ Your knowing that I ’ve ceased-- ” “ That you ’ve ceased--? ” With her pause, in fact, she had fairly made him press her for it.
4264	“ Yours then are rather here? ” “ Oh, mine!”--the girl smiled.
4264	“ ‘ Ask ’ you?
4264	“ ‘ Between them? ’ What do you mean? ” “ Anything there should n’t be, there should n’t have BEEN-- all this time.
4264	“ ‘ Between them? ’ What do you mean? ” “ Anything there should n’t be, there should n’t have BEEN-- all this time.
4264	“ ‘ Conscientiously? ’ Why should n’t I conscientiously?
4264	“ ‘ Conscientiously? ’ Why should n’t I conscientiously?
4264	“ ‘ Funny ’? ” “ Oh, I do n’t mean a comic toy-- I mean some little thing with a charm.
4264	“ ‘ Her ’? ” “ Her and him.
4264	“ ‘ More ’?
4264	“ ‘ Ours’--? ” “ My husband ’s and mine.
4264	“ ‘ Unexplained, ’ my dear?
4264	“ ‘ Why, why ’ have I made this evening such a point of our not all dining together?
