10451 | From whom can it be, in this commerce, that I desire to hide any thing? |
10451 | Garrick was asked,''Sir, have you a free benefit?'' |
10451 | He asked her,''What is that about? |
10451 | He asked, how did the women do? |
10451 | He laughed heartily at his lordship''s saying he was an_ enthusiastical_ farmer;''for,( said he,) what can he do in farming by his_ enthusiasm_?'' |
10451 | He looked at me, as if I had talked of going to the North Pole, and said,''You do not insist on my accompanying you?'' |
10451 | He spoke of Prince Charles being here, and asked Mrs. Macdonald,''_ Who_ was with him? |
10451 | He''s done wi''Paoli-- he''s off wi''the land- louping scoundrel of a Corsican; and whose tail do you think he has pinned himself to now, mon?'' |
10451 | How long shall the capital city of Scotland, yea, and the chief street of it, stink worse than a common sewer?'' |
10451 | How should one who has had only a Scotch education be quite at home at Eton? |
10451 | I am desiring to become charitable myself; and why may I not plainly say so? |
10451 | I asked if this was not unlucky: would not they hurt one another? |
10451 | I asked in what? |
10451 | I put him in mind of it to- day, while he expressed his admiration of the elegant buildings, and whispered him,''Do n''t you feel some remorse[994]?'' |
10451 | I said,''Would not the same objection hold against the Trinity as against Transubstantiation?'' |
10451 | I told him my intentions, but he was not satisfied, and said,''Do you know, I should as soon have thought of picking a pocket, as doing so?'' |
10451 | If this be the case, why are not these distinctly ascertained? |
10451 | In his_ London_, a poem, are the following nervous lines:--''For who would leave, unbrib''d, Hibernia''s land? |
10451 | Inter erroris salebrosa longi, Inter ignotae strepitus loquelae, Quot modis mecum, quid agat, requiro, Thralia dulcis? |
10451 | Is not a great part of it chosen by peers? |
10451 | Is there shame in it, or impiety? |
10451 | It seems as if Shakespeare asked himself, what is a prince likely to say to his attendants on such an occasion? |
10451 | Lady M''Leod asked, if no man was naturally good? |
10451 | Let Dr. Smith consider: Was not Mr. Hume blest with good health, good spirits, good friends, a competent and increasing fortune? |
10451 | Let us consider; can there be more wanting to complete the Meditation on a Pudding? |
10451 | M''Leod asked, what is the particular excellence of Burke''s eloquence? |
10451 | Mr. Croker says that''the exact words are:-- bony? |
10451 | Must we never have more convenience than Rorie More had? |
10451 | Need any one ask from what motive this was wrote? |

10451 | Now, how low should a price be? |
10451 | Of such ancestry who would not be proud? |
10451 | On p. 301, after mentioning_ Rasselas_, he continues:--''Did I tell you I had a letter from Johnson, inclosing Vernon''s_ Parish- clerk_?'' |
10451 | Or change the rocks of Scotland for the Strand? |
10451 | Pray, what do you know about his motions? |
10451 | Quis tandem arte nova domitam mitescere Pestem Credat,& antiquas ponere posse minas? |

10451 | Scrase gives us fine fruit; I wished you my pear yesterday; but then what would one pear have done for you?'' |
10451 | She seems inspir''d, and can herself inspire: How then( if malice rul''d not all the fair) Could Daphne publish, and could she forbear? |
10451 | Sir, he would reason thus:"What will it cost me to be there once in two or three summers? |
10451 | So who has the best of it, my reverend friend?'' |

10451 | Suppose you afterwards know him, and find that he does not practise what he teaches; are you to give up your former conviction? |
10451 | That look not like the inhabitants o''the earth, And yet are on''t?'' |
10451 | The contest now is, What_ has_ he?'' |
10451 | The landlady said to me,''Is not this the great Doctor that is going about through the country?'' |
10451 | The prince''s answer was noble:''And would_ you_ not have done the same, madam, had he come to you, as to her, in distress and danger? |
10451 | The serjeant asked,''Who is this fellow?''. |
10451 | The wish is laudable: why should I form designs to hide it? |
10451 | To me it was highly comick, to see the grave philosopher,--the Rambler,-toying with a Highland beauty[713]!--But what could he do? |
10451 | We were at his house in Cheshire[ Shropshire].... Do not you remember how he rejoiced in having_ no_ park? |

10451 | When Dr. Johnson came in, she called to him,''Do you choose any cold sheep''s- head, Sir?'' |

10451 | Why do n''t we see men thus produced around us now? |
10451 | Why does he not tell how to fill it?'' |
10451 | Why is it that whatever you see, and whoever you see, you are to be so indiscriminately lavish of praise?" |
10451 | Why is not the form of the petition brought nearer to the meaning? |
10451 | Why not as well be Rorie More all over, as live upon his rock? |
10451 | Why should such a writer be so forgetful of human comfort, as to give any countenance to that dreary infidelity which would make us poor indeed?'' |
10451 | Why, at least, does it not keep pace, in some measure, with the progress of time? |
10451 | Why, perhaps, five hundred pounds; and what is that, in comparison of having a fine retreat, to which a man can go, or to which he can send a friend?" |
10451 | Your old preceptor[929] repeated, with much solemnity, the speech--"How far is''t called to Fores? |
10451 | [ 1035]''The peace you seek is here-- where is it not? |

10357 | I can see the fraud plainly enough,is said to have been Fox''s retort,"but where is the piety?"'' |
10357 | Pray, who is she? |
10357 | Why so? |
10357 | ''"It is very comical, is it not, Sir?" |

10357 | what are houses? |
34825 | ''Are n''t you pretty near ready for breakfast, Stephen?'' 34825 ''Um- m. How do you know? |
34825 | ... Well, sir, what is it? |
34825 | A spring night in Kentucky-- hot, damp, starlit-- shall I ever forget that terrible night of_ A Tribute to Art_? 34825 About that dictated letter?" |
34825 | Ah, how should I know? 34825 And did you remember Vhruebert in that fairy luncheon together?" |
34825 | And how did you learn of his coming? |
34825 | And is n''t it great the way the papers treated it? 34825 And so you two have been writing letters?" |
34825 | And what''s that big dug- out thing behind? |
34825 | And you really think Pelée may not hold out? |
34825 | And you will not go to the wine- shop, before you see me-- in the morning? |
34825 | And-- you are able to ride? |
34825 | Are you going? |
34825 | Before I got to the gate where the star- stuff passes through? |
34825 | Bob,he called down shakily,"have you got any whiskey?" |
34825 | But have n''t you heard from him? |
34825 | But how can one choose the real, if all are not admitted at first? 34825 But how could you know?" |
34825 | But if I should go far away? |
34825 | But is n''t Melville acknowledged to be the headwaters of inspiration for all later sea- books? |
34825 | But why, oh why, do you always think of me with Bellingham? |
34825 | By the way,Selma Cross retorted,"did you notice that word''love''in either of his recent books-- except as a generality?" |
34825 | Can he not stop that kind of devouring? |
34825 | Can it be that women in general encounter influences-- of this kind? |
34825 | Can you imagine, Paula, that it was an instant of singular glory to me-- that climax?... 34825 Dear Paula, do you think it will really turn out-- that you are to have no relation with Bellingham?" |
34825 | Did any woman ever tell you that you''re rather a mean sort, Quentin Charter? |
34825 | Did ever suicidal genius conceive of corrupting such majesty of force with his pygmy purpose? |
34825 | Did ever the body of a man clog the crater of a live volcano? |
34825 | Did n''t he write? |
34825 | Did you arrange at the post- office to have your mail sent care of the Hotel? |
34825 | Did you get the leviathan alongside and study the bewildering chaos of a ninety- foot nervous system? |
34825 | Did you know I was n''t a Catholic? |
34825 | Do n''t you see, it is the strength you give me!--that girds me to say such things? |
34825 | Do n''t your sentences register? |
34825 | Do you always shape your philosophy to meet the objections of your disciples-- so? |
34825 | Do you happen to know of any reason why an idle ship should not be used for some such purpose? |
34825 | Do you honestly believe that-- that which feels the attraction of earth, and becomes a part of earth after death-- is the stuff of immortality? |
34825 | Do you know that means something-- from a woman like you? 34825 Do you mean that old Villiers paid the night- bird to watch us-- to learn where we went, and possibly what we said?" |
34825 | Do you think hell is worse than this, Ernst, barrin''the effrontery of the question? 34825 Do you think this is big- man stuff?" |
34825 | Early next week, then? |
34825 | Ever been in Pittsburg? |
34825 | Father,Paula said, remembering the words of the washer- woman, as they emerged into the street,"when one is sick of soul-- does one knock here?" |
34825 | Have a little touch, Lafe? |
34825 | Have n''t you discovered that Skylarks are not of the insisting kind-- even when they need new plumage? 34825 Have you the strent'', sir, to do the overhand up the chain?" |
34825 | He had said he loved you? |
34825 | How can he? |
34825 | How far do you go with the_ Panther_? |
34825 | I just wanted to tell you-- Tim will take you back to the city to- night, grateful for the chance, but do you really have to go? 34825 I know no writer by that name-- but how did you know that I did not meet him, Child?" |
34825 | I like the calm, conquering voices of the prophets better.... Immortality of the body?... 34825 I shall go and see what is wanted, Miss Wyndam, and hurry back-- if I may?" |
34825 | I wonder if ever there was a humiliation so artistically complete as mine? |
34825 | I wonder if the long white face with the pain- lit eyes could ever mean to any one else what it does to me? |
34825 | I''ve always wanted to know if you believed-- what an apprentice I really was in love-- give- and- take-- when you came? |
34825 | In other words-- if the mountain wo n''t recede from Miss Wyndam, we''d better snatch up Miss Wyndam and make a getaway from the mountain? |
34825 | Is he well? |
34825 | Is that to the point? |
34825 | Is there really no fact by which his age can be determined? |
34825 | It has been strange to be with you again-- almost like-- those early mornings.... Did you ever hear me calling you--''way off there in the West? 34825 It was always hard for me to call you Wyndam----""Harder to hear, Quentin Charter....""But are you sure you are not badly burned?" |
34825 | It''s altogether too good to be hurt.... Do you realize you''ve never had your hat off in this office? |
34825 | It''s very good of you,he said dully,"but what of my people?" |
34825 | Love me? |
34825 | Magician-- surely? |
34825 | Much that my life has misunderstood is made clear to me-- by this love of yours and his----"''And his,''Father? |
34825 | My dear Paula, you felt the need of me?... 34825 Past all doubt, ca n''t Bellingham turn back?" |
34825 | Pere Rabeaut''s wine- shop in the_ Rue Rivoli_?... 34825 Processes which these poor Islanders could understand?" |
34825 | Some one you know? |
34825 | That was easily believed, Selma----"Then you grant I was n''t acting-- when I gave myself to you? |
34825 | The other reason is not a pretty matter, and doubtless you will call any repugnance of mine an affectation----"Repugnance-- what do you mean? |
34825 | Then the old martyrs and saints who macerated themselves wove great folds of spirit? |
34825 | Then you think it is inevitable that the end of man is-- the clouds? |
34825 | There was a writer here-- a young man very dear to me-- of whom you reminded me at once----"Of whom I reminded you, Father? |
34825 | Vine leaves, indeed,said Paula,"Did M. Mondet tell you he would print this warning?" |
34825 | Was it a man''s way to give me no chance to explain? |
34825 | What are you doing''way up here alone-- in this dreadful suffocation? |
34825 | What are you thinking? |
34825 | What do you make of it, sir? |
34825 | What does the man want? |
34825 | What else would you look for-- here at the very fut av the mountain? |
34825 | What for? |
34825 | What have you been doing with Old Man Pelée, Father? 34825 What is to prevent me from never seeing him? |
34825 | What must it be down in the city-- when we suffer so here? 34825 What relation could I have? |
34825 | What was it, you could not forgive? |
34825 | What? |
34825 | When did you see her last? |
34825 | Where do you live? |
34825 | Who''s Bellingham? |
34825 | Why do you teach only women? |
34825 | Why, what do you mean, Miss Wyndam? |
34825 | Why, yes, Child-- who are you? |
34825 | Will the visitation be repeated? 34825 With all his worldly knowledge, and knowing his own doom, can he not turn back-- far back, a lowly- organized soul, but on the human way?" |
34825 | Wo n''t somebody say something? |
34825 | Wo n''t you tell me about that, too? |
34825 | Would there not be hope-- if he battled with that-- put_ that_ vampirism behind? |
34825 | Yes, I confess I have n''t been so consumed in years----She drew close to him...."It has been dramatic, if not literary, has n''t it?" |
34825 | Yet where can you find such temperamental happiness? |
34825 | You are Miss Linster? |
34825 | You attended the first of my Prismatic Hall lectures ten days ago?... 34825 You do n''t actually believe-- to the contrary?" |
34825 | You do not believe in the wild torrents, the forked lightnings, and the shocking thunders of the poets? |
34825 | You have been impelled to go to him, Paula? |
34825 | You mean because I spoke of another writer? |
34825 | You mean volcanic ash? |
34825 | You regard this as an entertainment worth waiting for? |
34825 | You say he was drinking-- when you knew him? |
34825 | You think, then, that the spirit grows as the body wastes? |
34825 | You thought much of him then, Father Fontanel? |
34825 | You what? |
34825 | You what? |
34825 | You''ll stay a day or two, wo n''t you? |
34825 | ''What was it, once more, that you mean to do?'' |
34825 | *****"Did you follow_ Moby Dick''s_ whale tracks around the wet wastes of the world?" |
34825 | ... Do you know, I really like to write to you? |
34825 | Add to this, a woman who has come up from the dregs-- for years in the midst of the slum- blooms of the chorus? |
34825 | Am I given the present serenity as a resting- time before meeting a more subtle and formidable enemy? |
34825 | And I know that the wolves shall have been slain, when he comes again----""And the angels, Father?" |
34825 | And the great work? |
34825 | And what of Skylark, the lovely, the winged?..." |
34825 | And who can say that his royal mate will not laughingly unfold wings for him, when they stand together in the radiant altitude? |
34825 | Are there fangs and hackles and claws which I have not yet uncovered? |
34825 | Are you going-- beyond New York?" |
34825 | Are you hurted, sir?" |
34825 | Are you sure he can not prove that false?" |
34825 | As for Madame Nestor, might she not have reached a more acute stage of a similar derangement? |
34825 | Bellingham was calling:"Come to me-- won''t you come and help me in my excellent labors? |
34825 | Bellingham?... |
34825 | But are not these great forces splendid fuel for the mind? |
34825 | But do you mean that now when you do n''t need him any longer-- you told him to go away?" |
34825 | But it is n''t altogether a novelty, is it, for the mountain to behave this way?" |
34825 | But would n''t it be rather severe on the other boys and girls, if the usual formula of perpetuating self is used? |
34825 | By the way, did you hear what happened yesterday, during the darkness and racket while we were at dinner?" |
34825 | Ca n''t you see how it hurt when he turned out to be-- well, that name you refuse to utter?" |
34825 | Can you imagine a colder reception? |
34825 | Did not the latter still dip here, there, and everywhere in the occult and weird? |
34825 | Did she pass on the street men and women in whom the process of soul- starvation was complete or completing? |
34825 | Did some one send for you?" |
34825 | Did you see it?" |
34825 | Do I wake or sleep?" |
34825 | Do n''t you remember, the greatest moment of all-- coming downstairs, partly dressed, into the room_ They_ had made ready? |
34825 | Do you know that we live in the time of a spiritual high- tide? |
34825 | Do you remember the rock in the desert on which you sat and waited long ago? |
34825 | Do you think I can not resist?" |
34825 | Do you wonder that the life from which you have risen to one of the regnant queens has become inseparable in my mind with shuddering aversion?" |
34825 | Does any one happen to know who owns the beautiful ship in the harbor?" |
34825 | Does it not seem very clear to you?... |
34825 | Faintly her heart answered, but quickly,"Yes, if they are forever nameless....""Specific abandonments?" |
34825 | Flowers bloom to catch a bug-- such girls, to catch a man-- perpetuate-- oh God, what for? |
34825 | From the number, I think you must overlook the Park-- don''t you?... |
34825 | Had New York called him? |
34825 | Has my vitality miraculously been preserved for some final battle with a champion of champions of the flesh? |
34825 | Have you a drop left in the heel av the flask, Adele, dear?" |
34825 | Having consented to the trick,_ might she not be listening_?... |
34825 | Her inward joy was to study in Peter Stock the unacknowledged influence of Father Fontanel-- or was it an unconscious influence? |
34825 | How far do you go with the_ Panther_?" |
34825 | How shall she repay man for brutalizing her so long?" |
34825 | How strange, I have always thought of you so? |
34825 | How very strange that you should have heard what I said.... You will join one of his classes, I presume?" |
34825 | I am near.... Come to me, Paula Linster, of plentiful treasures.... Do you not see the open way-- how near I am? |
34825 | I ask you, how is a woman, for the first time alone with a man-- to know that he is different from other men? |
34825 | I ask you-- how did I know he was an exception-- rather than the rule among the Glowworms?" |
34825 | I have symbolized the whole struggle of our race in your personal struggle-- don''t you see this, Paula?... |
34825 | I mean, would he not have to restore his vitality from the others?" |
34825 | I said I was celebrating for two things----""Pray, what is the other?" |
34825 | I wanted to ask if it ever occurred to you that even the_ Morne d''Orange_ might fall into the sweeping range of Pelée''s guns?" |
34825 | I wonder if there ever was a fight that can match mine? |
34825 | I wonder if there is any authority or precedent for such a hope?" |
34825 | I would n''t open any letter from Danube now-- but he shall have his chance----""What do you mean to do?" |
34825 | I''d better get her ready, had n''t I, sir?" |
34825 | If you interest them sexually-- they will hear what you have to say----""Is n''t that a reckless talk?" |
34825 | Inscrutable, but thrilling-- isn''t it, my dear Paula?" |
34825 | Is he not bright and clean and pretty? |
34825 | Is it because the sting is gone from my scar- tissues that I feel so strong and so white to- night? |
34825 | Is n''t it a dear world?" |
34825 | Is n''t it glorious?" |
34825 | It always spoils-- oh, what am I saying? |
34825 | It had been a hard moment for her, but he sprang high among the nobilities of her heart, and was sustained.... What if it were just a throat- singing? |
34825 | It is not well to be a day late...."And did you notice how Felix Larch uncoiled?" |
34825 | It is quite possible that the values of my instruction are over- estimated by many.... Do you mind if I sit down a moment? |
34825 | It would not do, not to go to Father Fontanel-- would it?" |
34825 | Listen, Paula, to New York below-- treading the empty mill of commerce----""New York has not chosen yet?" |
34825 | Macready questioned, and added in a ghost''s whisper,"with the fairest of tin thousand waitin''at the top?" |
34825 | Many times she asked:"Where is the undiscovered master of my heart?" |
34825 | Might she not have something to do with the projectiles of Desire? |
34825 | Might she not have watched for him or be near him now? |
34825 | Mine is a lineage of Kentucky poor white trash, who knows, but a speck of''nigger''? |
34825 | Mondet?" |
34825 | My dear young woman, does n''t a ride on the ocean sound good for this afternoon? |
34825 | My launch is at the Sugar Landing.... On second thought, I''ll go back down- town with you.... Miss Wyndam-- later in the day-- a chat with you?" |
34825 | No other man suffices----""But why-- why do you prepare_ me_? |
34825 | Oh, why must we keep our gods so far away-- lest we lose them? |
34825 | Ointments and bandages were applied before the owner said:"We must be getting pretty close in the harbor?" |
34825 | One thought apart from these effects, Paula could not shake from her mind: Were there human beings with dead or dying souls? |
34825 | Only at its highest speed does the top sing its peace with God.... Had not the finest glow of his powers been reserved until her coming?... |
34825 | Or must there always be this dim, hurting thing? |
34825 | Paula exclaimed...."You think this Bellingham has made the evil choice?" |
34825 | Pelée''s muzzle is turned toward the city----""I sent you many cheers and high hopes-- did they come?" |
34825 | Portions of some of the later letters follow: Did you know, that without the upward spread of wings-- there can be no song from the Skylark? |
34825 | Shall I show you?" |
34825 | Shall I tell you what added thought came to me, as you crossed the floor so unsteadily-- looking so white?" |
34825 | She called him back,"Come and see me-- at my best-- at the_ Herriot_--won''t you?" |
34825 | She had found an old picture of his in a magazine and commented on it deliciously...."I wonder if you think of me as I am-- plain,_ plain_?" |
34825 | She noted the instant contraction of his brows, and shrank inwardly at the hard, rapid tone, with which he darted the question:"Are you a Catholic?" |
34825 | Should she not be thankful that a beyond- devil had been required to test her soul? |
34825 | So_ A Damsel Came to Peter_?" |
34825 | Some brivate vire of yours?'' |
34825 | Some time-- who knows? |
34825 | Stay, wo n''t you please, and share a bite of supper with me, Madame Nestor? |
34825 | Stay, wo n''t you?" |
34825 | Still, do n''t you see it-- how wonderful was your victory to- day?" |
34825 | Stock?" |
34825 | Tell me, can scar- tissue ever be so fine? |
34825 | That moment, before you actually see-- just as you enter the mingled dawn and fire- light and catch the first glisten of the tree?... |
34825 | The American''s further activities unfolded:"By the way, have you been reading the French paper here--_Les Colonies_?" |
34825 | The club type she preferred to know from a sort of middle distance...."Wo n''t you, please?" |
34825 | The critic grasped the low shoulders of a bald, thin- lipped acquaintance, exclaiming:"Where did you get that diadem, Lucky One?" |
34825 | Then he heard:"What is this dripping darkness?" |
34825 | Then she uttered an unforgettable question:"_ Can a tiger eat grains?_"Vast ranges of terrible understanding were suggested. |
34825 | There is a dress- maker-- and_ we_ breakfast together.... Root for me-- for us, to- night-- won''t you, dear girl?" |
34825 | There shall be no note from me----""But did you write to him, Paula?" |
34825 | There was a low, husky laugh, and then plainly these words:"She makes your goppers sizzle-- eh?... |
34825 | There was a mystery left upon the face by the intervening years,"while the tireless soul etched on...."Should she ever know? |
34825 | There was a suggestion of world- wisdom here, or was it world- wear? |
34825 | There''s no fun in giving something you do n''t want.... Are you going to hear Bellingham to- night?" |
34825 | They left her in a dark-- that was madness.... And if they were false, what was the meaning of her exaltations? |
34825 | This is certainly Ash- Wednesday, is n''t it?" |
34825 | Through the ends of these two, had some essential balance of power been preserved in the world? |
34825 | To what god or devil had he sold his soul that he was thus condemned to eternal scrivening? |
34825 | True, as man and woman, they had made no covenant, but to her( and had he not expressed the same in a score of ways? |
34825 | Vite- Apron?'' |
34825 | Was it all the etching of the_ soul_--that this later print revealed?... |
34825 | Was it not good to live, since the sun was trying to shine again and the mountain did not answer the ringing of the bells? |
34825 | Was n''t it monstrous?" |
34825 | We shall_ remember_ then.... And so you live alone? |
34825 | What can happen to a body that continually makes of itself a lying instrument? |
34825 | What could a mind like his_ not_ build about months of communion( eyes and ears strained toward flashing skies) with a Skylark ideal?... |
34825 | What does this mean-- this desire of woman to bring out the latent powers of a stranger''s child? |
34825 | What law, human or divine, was disordered by two human grown- ups with clean minds communing together intimately in letters? |
34825 | What other purpose could he have? |
34825 | What right had she to say that the world- mind was in error and she normal-- she and the unreckonable Madame Nestor?... |
34825 | What, thin, must it be in that pit of destruction?" |
34825 | Where is his valor now, his taking of cities, his smiling deaths for honor? |
34825 | Why should he rush off alone? |
34825 | Why was he so eager for the dawn? |
34825 | Wing often to my window-- won''t you? |
34825 | Wo n''t you let me hear at once, please? |
34825 | Would she ever write again?... |
34825 | Would the City crush him into a trifler, with artificial emotions, or was this a Daniel come to interpret her evil dreams?... |
34825 | You bring the thing home to a room in a New York apartment... Ca n''t you see how hard to adjust, this is? |
34825 | You have come wonderfully and differently into the glare, but let me ask where is Martha Boardman to- night-- a few short years later?" |
34825 | You know him?" |
34825 | You see how I could have spoiled_ The Thing_ last night-- if I had let the passion flood through me like a torrent through a broken dam? |
34825 | You two have had me soaring.... Charter, you do n''t mean to tell me you called Miss Wyndam to meet you in the wine- shop?" |
34825 | You will be here in the morning-- the first thing in the morning?" |
34825 | You work while we sleep-- eh? |
34825 | You, who used to be-- singing flames?" |
9180 | Books? |
9180 | Know him? 9180 Pray now,"said he to the Doctor,"what would you give, old gentleman, to be as young and sprightly as I am?" |
9180 | Pray, Sir, how does Mrs. Williams like all this tribe? |
9180 | Pray, Sir,said Mr. Hume,"in what branch of philosophy did you employ your researches? |
9180 | Pray, Sir,said she,"did not you write a book about my cousin Pope?" |
9180 | Then you can tell me some anecdotes of him? |
9180 | What does a man learn by travelling? 9180 What upon earth,"said one at our house,"could have made--[Fitzherbert] hang himself?" |
9180 | ''"So Sir,"said Johnson to Cibber,"I find you know[ knew?] |
9180 | ''"Why does not my book make its appearance?" |
9180 | ''A flagelet, Sir!--so small an instrument[681]? |
9180 | ''And how was it, Sir?'' |
9180 | ''And if Jack Wilkes_ should_ be there, what is that to_ me_, Sir? |
9180 | ''And what think you, Sir, of it?'' |
9180 | ''Are they well translated, Sir?'' |
9180 | ''Because she was fifteen years younger?'' |
9180 | ''But how are the passions to be purged by terrour and pity?'' |
9180 | ''But if they should be good, why not give them hearty praise?'' |
9180 | ''But if we could have pleasure always, should not we be happy? |
9180 | ''But if you see a friend going to tumble over a precipice?'' |
9180 | ''But is not courage mechanical, and to be acquired?'' |
9180 | ''But is not that taking a mere chance for having a good or a bad Mayor?'' |
9180 | ''But may they not as well be forgotten?'' |
9180 | ''But stay,( said he, with his usual intelligence, and accuracy of enquiry,) does it take much wine to make him drunk?'' |
9180 | ''But why did you not take your revenge directly?'' |
9180 | ''But why nations? |
9180 | ''But why smite his bosom, Sir?'' |
9180 | ''But you would not have me to bind myself by a solemn obligation?'' |
9180 | ''But, Sir, is it not a sad thing to be at a distance from all our literary friends?'' |
9180 | ''But, Sir, would not you wish to know old age? |
9180 | ''DEAR SIR,''What can possibly have happened, that keeps us two such strangers to each other? |
9180 | ''DEAR SIR,''Why do you talk of neglect? |
9180 | ''Dear Sir,''Why should you importune me so earnestly to write? |
9180 | ''Did he indeed speak for half an hour?'' |
9180 | ''Did he mean tardiness of locomotion? |
9180 | ''Did the King please you[1091]? |
9180 | ''Did you quite_ down_ her?'' |
9180 | ''Do n''t you eat supper, Sir?'' |
9180 | ''Do n''t you see( said he) the impropriety of it? |
9180 | ''Do you think, Sir, it is always culpable to laugh at a man to his face?'' |
9180 | ''Does Lord Kames decide the question?'' |
9180 | ''Does not Gray''s poetry, Sir, tower above the common mark?'' |
9180 | ''Have they not arts?'' |
9180 | ''Have you seen them, Sir?'' |

46258 | But what have you bought all these papers for? |
46258 | But what of us? |
46258 | But why should my having breakfast matter to you? |
46258 | But wo n''t you leave him here? |
46258 | But you think some one has been telling damned lies about me? |
46258 | But your hat? |
46258 | By punching of his head? |
46258 | Ca n''t you manage to get up, as you did when I came in this morning? 46258 Can not we by any means persuade you to stay another night? |
46258 | Can you give me a few minutes of your time now? |
46258 | Could n''t I see you struggling to keep your heart above water, so to speak? 46258 Did he caution you against me?" |
46258 | Did you say £500? |
46258 | Did you tell them that? |
46258 | Did you-- did you mention your connection with me? |
46258 | Do I sound as if I was lying? 46258 Do not you men cease to think of us even before we are middle- aged?" |
46258 | Do you mean by that what you have just asked me? |
46258 | Do you mean that you have been actually in want of money to pay for food? 46258 Do you understand?" |
46258 | Eight hundred pounds advance, was it? 46258 Five thousand? |
46258 | Good Lord, my dear, do you mean that? |
46258 | Granny, darling,she said,"how many lumps of sugar?" |
46258 | Guess? 46258 Happened?" |
46258 | Have some now by itself? |
46258 | He has adopted you, too, for he came out when you came, did n''t he? |
46258 | How could your portrait show you think her a bore? |
46258 | How much did Ward give you for Philip Wroughton''s Reynolds? |
46258 | I began it from the picture,he said,"but may I finish it from you? |
46258 | I should be very glad to.... And perhaps soon, not just yet, but soon, you will come and see my work, if I ring you up? 46258 If so, shall I pay it, or your friend?" |
46258 | If you really believe Craddock is a swindler, how can you make jokes about it? 46258 Is it finished now?" |
46258 | Is it-- do you mean it''s a huge success, huge, you know? |
46258 | Is n''t it so distressing on a wet day? |
46258 | Is there a big tree on the lawn? 46258 It is a clever sketch, is n''t it?" |
46258 | Lady Crowborough? |
46258 | Lays it on thick, does n''t it? |
46258 | Leave it there,she said..."and then, where were we? |
46258 | Lor'', my dear, do you think I did n''t guess that? 46258 Lor'', my dear, what do you want with experience over that sort o''thing?" |
46258 | May n''t I give you and Miss Wroughton tea there some afternoon? 46258 My dear, what have you done?" |
46258 | No? 46258 Not ill, I hope?" |
46258 | Not really? |
46258 | Oh, Charles,she said,"have you come to me? |
46258 | Oh, Mr. Lathom,she said,"is it you? |
46258 | Oh, Mr. Wroughton does expect me? |
46258 | Oh, but they''re not gutless, do you think? 46258 Oh, but will you, can you?" |
46258 | Oh, do you paint? |
46258 | Oh, that? |
46258 | Only that? 46258 Or were you thinking of exhibiting it?" |
46258 | Painfully noble sentiment? |
46258 | Shall we come to the point? |
46258 | Shall we go? |
46258 | Shall we take our ride into the desert or go home? |
46258 | Shall we-- wouldn''t it be better if we got it over at once? 46258 Something up: something up, is there, Craddock?" |
46258 | Surely for my sake a little less than yours? |
46258 | That Craddock? |
46258 | That I suppose is your business? |
46258 | That is down- stream, is n''t it? |
46258 | Then I have shown that? |
46258 | Then would you like unpopularity? 46258 To her, do n''t you mean?" |
46258 | Well, then, when you leave your encampment here, will you please send it to me at this address? 46258 Well?" |
46258 | Well? |
46258 | What did you give? |
46258 | What do you mean to do, either of you? |
46258 | What do you want me to do, Charles? |
46258 | What had he bought? |
46258 | What has happened? |
46258 | What is your name? |
46258 | What on earth could have happened? 46258 What on earth do you think of me?" |
46258 | What would you like to do? |
46258 | What''ll you give me for my portrait, or do n''t you do business in these sacred halls? 46258 What? |
46258 | Where shall we sup to- night? |
46258 | Why did Craddock do it? |
46258 | Why did Mr. Craddock send father the cheque? |
46258 | Why how could I look him in the face, and have a moment''s ease with him, if I thought you had? |
46258 | Why not indeed? 46258 Why not?" |
46258 | Will you give me your permission to ask Miss Joyce if she will make me the happiest of men? |
46258 | Will you have it over your shoulders or on your knees? |
46258 | Will you tell me who this excellent authority is? |
46258 | Wo n''t he disturb you? |
46258 | Wounds? 46258 Yes, dear, but how did you know?" |
46258 | Yes, it was rot, was n''t it, Frank? |
46258 | Yes, yes: very clever, very sparkling,he said,"but hardly in my line, do you think? |
46258 | Yes: do you mind my asking you one thing? 46258 You are a painter of portraits, and what sitter will come up those stairs? |
46258 | You know my mother, do you not? 46258 You were saying?" |
46258 | You would n''t have liked that, would you? 46258 Your studio address? |
46258 | A commission to copy a Reynolds perhaps, other things perhaps, who knows? |
46258 | After all, what has happened? |
46258 | Ai n''t you frightened of burglars?" |
46258 | And an American, was it not? |
46258 | And are there usually some dogs about?" |
46258 | And are these chocolates for me, too? |
46258 | And are those sketches yours? |
46258 | And dear old Buz lay on the sofa and got worse and worse?" |
46258 | And did you come all the way back from your tent in the heat, Mr. Lathom, to go on painting this afternoon?" |
46258 | And do you suppose that I will do so any longer? |
46258 | And do you want quite all those cushions and wraps? |
46258 | And even then the Nile floods came up here did they? |
46258 | And how long really do you think your copy will take? |
46258 | And if you find there''s anything to be done, or talked about, well, ring me up, wo n''t you? |
46258 | And leit- motif: what''s a leit- motif? |
46258 | And now about what has happened to- day? |
46258 | And now if you want to hear the first act of the''Lane without a Turning,''we had better begin? |
46258 | And so you''ll go to him now, will you, and tell him what you know, and threaten that we''ll have the law on him as a common swindler? |
46258 | And what does it matter? |
46258 | And what will you do if the weather becomes odious?" |
46258 | And what''s wrong?" |
46258 | And when I''ve signed, or whatever I have to do, will you give me a cheque straight off? |
46258 | And who has been blackguarding you, I should like to know? |
46258 | And why does he wait there?" |
46258 | And will you take me out again in your punt after tea, as you did when I was here last? |
46258 | And you''ll let me know, wo n''t you?" |
46258 | And your tent does n''t let the rain in? |
46258 | And, Mr. Craddock, was n''t Charles-- the cook called him Charles-- wasn''t Charles painting rather nicely? |
46258 | Anything for the model? |
46258 | Apart from your work, have you been going about much?" |
46258 | Are their souls above remuneration, and do they only want topping high art?" |
46258 | Are we to see your father?" |
46258 | Are you a rival, do you think?" |
46258 | Are you going to paint all the morning, Charles?" |
46258 | Are you going to tell your father or is he?" |
46258 | Are you sure?" |
46258 | Besides, what could have occurred to change the friendliness of the family into this cold acidity? |
46258 | But do n''t you ever despise your pictures-- anyhow distrust them-- just because they are popular?" |
46258 | But does it by any chance seem to you remunerative twaddle?" |
46258 | But how does it all concern you? |
46258 | But it is like Miss Wroughton, is n''t it?" |
46258 | But somehow he felt as if he ought to have been more touched...."_ Ã � propos_ of Armstrong?" |
46258 | But where had she gone, where should he seek and find her? |
46258 | But where would you have been if he had n''t put on''Easter Eggs''for you? |
46258 | But who taught you drawing?" |
46258 | But why should I go slobbering over and blessing my father, who made life hell to me? |
46258 | But why should you care? |
46258 | But would you really do it for me?" |
46258 | Can you go to her house at three?" |
46258 | Charles is up on top, is n''t he, Craddock?" |
46258 | Charles, I never dreamed it would stick in your mind like this-- but what has that got to do with Craddock and his nimble option?" |
46258 | Come on, come on, what are you waiting for?" |
46258 | Could it be she who had passed that way already? |
46258 | Could she have been wrong about that, too? |
46258 | Craddock is about to marry the girl of the punt, and Charles will cut his throat, and----""Whose throat?" |
46258 | Craddock?" |
46258 | Did Mrs. Fortescue come to your studio? |
46258 | Did he kiss you, my dear?" |
46258 | Did n''t the same sort of affair happen again?" |
46258 | Did you ask her why she wanted to know?" |
46258 | Did you know people like that?" |
46258 | Did you lie like that when you lied about me to Philip Wroughton last autumn? |
46258 | Did you see?" |
46258 | Did you-- did you mean I could really guess them?" |
46258 | Do n''t you find it so? |
46258 | Do n''t you remember how pleased she was when she knew you were coming with us? |
46258 | Do tell me about it? |
46258 | Do you accept my offer or not? |
46258 | Do you not think that it was that, Joyce? |
46258 | Do you remember last June an American called Ward drawing a cheque at your desk at Thistleton''s? |
46258 | Do you see? |
46258 | Do you see? |
46258 | Do you suppose he would listen to you? |
46258 | Do you understand? |
46258 | Does n''t he owe me that as well? |
46258 | Does that show you? |
46258 | Does your poor mind take that in at all? |
46258 | Down stream or up? |
46258 | Eh, Joyce?" |
46258 | Eh?" |
46258 | Forgive you? |
46258 | Fortescue?" |
46258 | Had you not better wait till I read you some of it?" |
46258 | Has he got it for five thousand pounds?" |
46258 | Have a cup?" |
46258 | Have n''t I caught the vacant expression of her face quite beautifully? |
46258 | Have you seen him since you knew about it all?" |
46258 | Have you seen it? |
46258 | He stayed with you, did he not, when the weather broke?" |
46258 | He''s in rather a hole, is n''t he?" |
46258 | Heep?" |
46258 | Her own face, her own slim body and gesture, as he saw her, leaped at her from the sketch, and she thrilled to think,"Is that what he sees in me?" |
46258 | How can we make him do that?" |
46258 | How did you guess?" |
46258 | How much do you offer me for''Easter Eggs''and on what conditions?" |
46258 | How on earth does he do it? |
46258 | How was it done?" |
46258 | How''s that? |
46258 | How''s''Easter Eggs,''by the way?" |
46258 | I advanced you ten, did I not? |
46258 | I always rather wanted to confess that to you-- Penance?" |
46258 | I am late already: is there a taxi, do you think?" |
46258 | I believe he was sorry, and if people are sorry-- well, it''s all over, is n''t it?" |
46258 | I have heard from Mr. Lathom, asking when he can come down to see his picture framed and in its place-- I suppose any day will do, will it not? |
46258 | I read your article in the''Whitehall,''by the way; you did n''t spare the adjectives did you? |
46258 | I wonder why: what motive can he have had?... |
46258 | If that is so, may I ask you, as a favour which I should so much appreciate, that you do not take your things away from my studio just yet anyhow? |
46258 | In five minutes, then?" |
46258 | Is it a picture, or a potentate, or a ballerina? |
46258 | Is it late?" |
46258 | Is it that he means by throwing himself on my mercy? |
46258 | Is n''t it magic? |
46258 | Is n''t that it? |
46258 | Is n''t that it?" |
46258 | Is that all? |
46258 | Is that it?" |
46258 | Is that so?" |
46258 | It is done, is n''t it, mother?" |
46258 | It was as if Frank knew all that Charles had been so careful not to tell him... it was as if he said"Oh, he warned you against me, did he? |
46258 | It was not quite sunrise yet; should day, and another day lit by the dawn that from everlasting had moved the sun and the stars, dawn together? |
46258 | Lady Crowborough said she would, and I will ask her the same day, or if my mother came, would n''t it do? |
46258 | Lathom?" |
46258 | Lathom?" |
46258 | Let me see, this is the second go, is n''t it?" |
46258 | Let me see, was n''t there a girl? |
46258 | Lor, but it does seem likely, do n''t it? |
46258 | May I know, Charles?" |
46258 | Might that not open a new chapter in the history and records of the beautiful? |
46258 | More artistic, eh? |
46258 | Much more merciful, is n''t it, Mr. Lathom? |
46258 | Not quite well? |
46258 | Nothing I''ve done to worry you, I hope?" |
46258 | Now I hear you live in a tent, Mr. Lathom? |
46258 | Now do you think he fancies you at all? |
46258 | Now supposing I accept, and you choose to exercise your option on it, do you get that?" |
46258 | Now what about this Craddock? |
46258 | Now what have you got to talk to me about?" |
46258 | Now what other work have you got on hand? |
46258 | Now will you come up there to- morrow and show me what you call your bits of things? |
46258 | Now will you let me out of your options?'' |
46258 | Now, am I worse than Frank, more suspicious, more-- more awful?" |
46258 | Oh, Mr. Frank Armstrong, is it? |
46258 | Oh, Reggie, ca n''t you think of any explanation that is at all reasonable?" |
46258 | Oh, how is Buz to- day? |
46258 | Oh, is n''t it dreadful when animals are ill? |
46258 | Oh, is that Mr. Craddock? |
46258 | Or did you know that already?" |
46258 | Or have tasted the bag of the bee? |
46258 | Or shall we begin with the grand crash? |
46258 | Or the nard in the fire? |
46258 | Or was it over the indisposition of Buz that she was troubled? |
46258 | Or why does it worry you? |
46258 | Or why should I say it''s a kind, nice world just because I myself am not cold or hungry any longer? |
46258 | Or would it quietly dissolve and drain itself away? |
46258 | Or... or are you referring to what Lady Crowborough asked me? |
46258 | Remunerative or not?" |
46258 | Right or left? |
46258 | Shall I ask him to stay the night?" |
46258 | Shall I bring an action against you for it, or shall I merely topple you and the stool over onto the floor?" |
46258 | Shall I get it for you?" |
46258 | Shall we go into the next room? |
46258 | Shall we have tea in the tent?" |
46258 | She is not ill- looking, is she? |
46258 | Should Charles say anything, what was easier than to look into so petty a mistake and rectify it? |
46258 | Show me them the day after to- morrow, and shall we say ten in the morning? |
46258 | Some fine lady wants to be painted by you, but will she survive, or will her laces survive these stairs? |
46258 | Still, of what use is money except to secure health and enjoyment for others? |
46258 | Ten thousand for the picture, one hundred for the frame, do you think? |
46258 | That is so, is it not?" |
46258 | That''s practical, is n''t it?" |
46258 | That''s something, is n''t it?" |
46258 | Then, for he had a poor opinion of his brother''s business capacities,"How much?" |
46258 | There is no reason, I suppose, why you should see him and explain? |
46258 | There was a Van der Weyde, I think----""But Dutch pictures? |
46258 | There''s that damned telephone: see who it is, will you?" |
46258 | They do not wrong those who are indifferent to them: for where should be the motive of that? |
46258 | To what did she beckon him? |
46258 | Up in my room, do you remember? |
46258 | Was it? |
46258 | Was it? |
46258 | Was n''t it like that? |
46258 | Was not that clever and dramatic? |
46258 | Was that the amount? |
46258 | Was that why you did n''t take sugar?" |
46258 | Was there ever such a misconception? |
46258 | Was this fat white man to prove a fairy? |
46258 | Well, where would I have been if he had n''t bought that picture of Reggie, and come to look at my things? |
46258 | Were there fairies still by the Thames- side? |
46258 | What am I to do?" |
46258 | What can have happened?" |
46258 | What did Frank tirade about, Charles? |
46258 | What did the vet say yesterday?" |
46258 | What do I say, Mohammed, if I should want to stop?" |
46258 | What do you propose?" |
46258 | What do you say?" |
46258 | What do you think I can have done, Miss Joyce?" |
46258 | What do you want me to do? |
46258 | What does she say to it all?" |
46258 | What does that mean? |
46258 | What have you done with my second shawl?" |
46258 | What if-- if Ward gave Craddock a cheque for ten thousand pounds for the picture with a hundred for me for the copy? |
46258 | What is it I have got to do according to your plan? |
46258 | What letters are there for me?" |
46258 | What more do you want?" |
46258 | What then?'' |
46258 | What was it? |
46258 | What when the love- light of man and woman flashed back and forth between him and the exquisite girl down by the riverside? |
46258 | What would that hand be capable of when its power was fully matured? |
46258 | What would you expect his mother and his friend to say? |
46258 | What''s the matter?" |
46258 | What''s the matter?" |
46258 | Where is it? |
46258 | Where''s a tea- cloth?" |
46258 | Where''s my cup? |
46258 | Where''s the charcoal?" |
46258 | Who is it? |
46258 | Who of all men in the world now is going about saying perfectly fulsome things about me? |
46258 | Who wants holidays when he''s happy? |
46258 | Who was the unseen to whom she beckoned with that gracious gesture, yet a little imperious? |
46258 | Why did n''t you stop me? |
46258 | Why did n''t you?" |
46258 | Why did you not tell me? |
46258 | Why do n''t you send Joyce up to town for a month, and give the girl a chance? |
46258 | Why not? |
46258 | Why should I appear to cease to be so?" |
46258 | Why should I not? |
46258 | Why should n''t I''do''him? |
46258 | Why this unwonted good temper?" |
46258 | Will she sit on a chair like this for an hour together, and look at a torn blind? |
46258 | Will you deign to accept this humble token from your worshipper?''" |
46258 | Will you try again? |
46258 | Wo n''t you be up in town sometime before you go to Egypt, and wo n''t you come to lunch or tea? |
46258 | Wo n''t you do that as a sign of your forgiveness? |
46258 | Would they meet-- and his heart hammered in his throat-- in this pearly and sacred hour, when only the birds were awake? |
46258 | Would you be better pleased if the theatre was empty, and there was no advance booking?" |
46258 | Would you not be more prudent to close that window? |
46258 | Wroughton?" |
46258 | Yet how, why? |
46258 | You are working hard with your typewriter: is that clear? |
46258 | You mean that, do n''t you?" |
46258 | You studied with Bonnart, did you not?" |
46258 | You will be at work again, I suppose, to- morrow morning?" |
46258 | You''re a psychologist, are n''t you? |
46258 | he asked, his shyness entirely vanishing before this penetrating person Where was the point of being shy when a man understood like that? |
9072 | And why should they be denied such sweeteners of their existence? |
9072 | Does he, Madam? 9072 Sir Thomas,( said he,) you talk the language of a savage: what, Sir? |
9072 | What signifies,says some one,"giving half- pence to common beggars? |
9072 | What,said he,"will you read, child?" |
9072 | Which answer did you give your friend, Sir? |
9072 | Why no,replied he,"why should I always write ridiculously?"'' |
9072 | Why, Sir? 9072 Why, what can_ he_ fear,"says Baretti, placing himself between them,"that holds two such hands as I do?" |
9072 | Would a_ gentleman_ write so? |
9072 | _ Do you think so? |
9072 | ''A gentleman who had heard that Bentley was born in the north, said to Porson:"Was n''t he a Scotchman?" |
9072 | ''And do you think that absolutely essential, Sir?'' |
9072 | ''And pray, Sir, what do you do with them? |
9072 | ''And what next?'' |
9072 | ''Are you serious, Sir, in advising me to buy St. Kilda? |
9072 | ''Are you? |
9072 | ''But have not nations been more populous at one period than another?'' |
9072 | ''But have they a moral right to do this?'' |
9072 | ''But have you not the_ thing_?'' |
9072 | ''But how can you bid me"empty my head of Corsica[174]?" |
9072 | ''But how is a man to act, Sir? |
9072 | ''But is not the fear of death natural to man?'' |
9072 | ''But of what use will it be, Sir?'' |
9072 | ''But then, Sir, their masses for the dead?'' |
9072 | ''But what do you think of supporting a cause which you know to be bad?'' |
9072 | ''But will you not allow him a nobleness of resolution, in penetrating into distant regions?'' |
9072 | ''But would you take the trouble of rearing it?'' |
9072 | ''But, Sir, does not Rousseau talk such nonsense?'' |
9072 | ''But, Sir, does not heat relax?'' |
9072 | ''But, Sir, if a bookseller should bring you a manuscript to look at?'' |
9072 | ''But, Sir, is it not a very bad thing for landlords to oppress their tenants, by raising their rents?'' |

1564 | ''But is not the fear of death natural to man?'' |
1564 | ''But may not a man attain to such a degree of hope as not to be uneasy from the fear of death?'' |
1564 | ''But may we not fortify our minds for the approach of death?'' |
1564 | ''But of what use will it be, Sir?'' |
1564 | ''But stay,( said he, with his usual intelligence, and accuracy of enquiry,) does it take much wine to make him drunk?'' |
1564 | ''But then, Sir, their masses for the dead?'' |
1564 | ''But why did you not take your revenge directly?'' |
1564 | ''But why nations? |

1564 | ''But, Sir, if a bookseller should bring you a manuscript to look at?'' |
1564 | ''But, Sir, is it not a sad thing to be at a distance from all our literary friends?'' |
1564 | ''But, Sir, is it not very hard that I should not be allowed to teach my children what I really believe to be the truth?'' |
1564 | ''But, Sir, may there not be very good conversation without a contest for superiority?'' |
1564 | ''But, Sir, ought not Christians to have liberty of conscience?'' |
1564 | ''But, Sir, why do n''t you give us something in some other way?'' |
1564 | ''But, Sir, would not you wish to know old age? |

1564 | ''Colman, in a note on his translation of Terence, talking of Shakspeare''s learning, asks,"What says Farmer to this? |

1564 | ''Did not he think of exhibiting you, Sir?'' |
1564 | ''Did you find, Sir, his conversation to be of a superiour style?'' |

1564 | ''Do n''t you eat supper, Sir?'' |

1564 | ''How comes it that you tell me nothing of your lady? |
1564 | ''How do you live, Sir? |
1564 | ''How does poor Smart do, Sir; is he likely to recover?'' |

1564 | ''Nay, Sir, how can you talk so?'' |
1564 | ''Nay, Sir, what talk is this?'' |
1564 | ''Nay, but my dear Sir, why should not you see what every one else sees?'' |
1564 | ''Nay,( said I, meaning to laugh with him at one of his prejudices,) ca n''t you say, it is not WORTH mapping?'' |
1564 | ''No, Sir, do YOU read books through?'' |
1564 | ''No, Sir; there will always be some truth mixed with the falsehood, and how can it be ascertained how much is true and how much is false? |

1564 | ''Why then meet at table?'' |
1564 | ''Why then, Sir, did he talk so?'' |
1564 | ''Why then, Sir, did you go?'' |
1564 | ''Why then,( I asked,) is it thought disgraceful for a man not to fight, and not disgraceful not to speak in publick?'' |
1564 | ''Why was you glad? |
1564 | ''Why yes, Sir; but what is that to the merit of the composition? |
1564 | ''Why, Sir, did you go to Mrs. Abington''s benefit? |

1564 | ''Why, Sir, what does this prove? |
1564 | ''Why, then, Sir, did you leave it off?'' |
1564 | ''Why, who are before him?'' |
1564 | ''Why, yes, Sir; and what then? |
1564 | ''Will you not admit the superiority of Robertson, in whose History we find such penetration-- such painting?'' |
1564 | ''Will you not allow, Sir, that he draws very natural pictures of human life?'' |
1564 | ''Worth seeing? |
1564 | ''Would not you have a pleasure in teaching it?'' |
1564 | ''Would you eat your dinner that day, Sir?'' |
1564 | ''Would you restrain private conversation, Sir?'' |
1564 | ''Would you teach this child that I have furnished you with, any thing?'' |
1564 | ''Yet Cibber was a man of observation?'' |
1564 | ''You have read his apology, Sir?'' |
1564 | ''You would not like to make the same journey again?'' |
1564 | ( said Dodsley) do you think a letter from Johnson could hurt Lord Chesterfield? |
1564 | ( said Johnson, smiling,) what would you give to be forty years from Scotland?'' |
1564 | ( to Harris,)''Pray, Sir, have you read Potter''s Aeschylus?'' |
1564 | ( to Johnson,)''And what think you, Sir, of it?'' |
1564 | ( turning to me,)''I ask you first, Sir, what would you do if you were affronted?'' |
1564 | --''But, Sir, you will allow that some players are better than others?'' |
1564 | --''Have you, Sir? |
1564 | --''Is not HARMLESS PLEASURE very tame?'' |
1564 | --''What with Mr. Wilkes? |
1564 | A book may be good for nothing; or there may be only one thing in it worth knowing; are we to read it all through? |
1564 | Am I to be HUNTED in this manner?'' |
1564 | And as for the good worthy man; how do you know he is good and worthy? |
1564 | And as to meanness,( rising into warmth,) how is it mean in a player,--a showman,--a fellow who exhibits himself for a shilling, to flatter his Queen? |
1564 | And do n''t you think the magistrate would have a right to prevent you? |
1564 | And have you ever seen Chatsworth? |
1564 | And is it thus, Sir, that you presume to controvert what I have related?'' |
1564 | And was Sheridan to assume to himself the right of giving that stamp? |
1564 | And what do you think of his definition of Excise? |
1564 | And what merit is there in that? |
1564 | And who would feed with the poor that can help it? |
1564 | As we were moving slowly along in the crowd from church, Johnson jogged my elbow, and said,''Did you attend to the sermon?'' |
1564 | Beauclerk, how came you to talk so petulantly to me, as"This is what you do n''t know, but what I know"? |
1564 | Because a man can not be right in all things, is he to be right in nothing? |
1564 | Because a man sometimes gets drunk, is he therefore to steal? |
1564 | Besides, Sir, what damages would a jury give me for having been represented as swearing?'' |
1564 | Both Mr.***** and I have reason to take it ill. You may talk so of Mr.*****; but why do you make me do it? |
1564 | But WHERE, I might with great propriety have added, can I find such? |
1564 | But does not imagination make it much more important than it is in reality? |
1564 | But how can you shew civilities to a nonentity? |
1564 | But the question was, who should have the courage to propose them to him? |
1564 | But was not Lord Coke a mere lawyer?'' |
1564 | But what a man is he, who is to be driven from the stage by a line? |
1564 | But when will you get the value of two hundred pounds of walls, in fruit, in your climate? |
1564 | But who is without it?'' |
1564 | But, Sir, how can you do this in three years? |
1564 | Did he cheat at draughts?'' |
1564 | Did he mean tardiness of locomotion? |
1564 | Did his gaiety extend farther than his own nation?'' |
1564 | Did you never observe that dogs have not the power of comparing? |
1564 | Did you see?'' |
1564 | Dilly''s?'' |
1564 | Do I know history? |
1564 | Do I know law?'' |
1564 | Do I know mathematicks? |
1564 | Do n''t you consider, Sir, that these are not the manners of a gentleman? |
1564 | Do n''t you know that it is very uncivil to PIT two people against one another?'' |
1564 | Do we not judge of the drunken wit, of the dialogue between Iago and Cassio, the most excellent in its kind, when we are quite sober? |
1564 | Do you know the history of his aversion to the word transpire?'' |
1564 | Do you really think HIM a bad man?'' |
1564 | Do you remember our drinking together at an alehouse near Pembroke gate? |
1564 | Do you respect a rope- dancer, or a ballad- singer?'' |
1564 | Do you think I am so ignorant of the world as to imagine that I am to prescribe to a gentleman what company he is to have at his table?'' |
1564 | Does not Lord Chesterfield give precepts for uniting wickedness and the graces? |
1564 | For why should not Dr. Johnson add to his other powers a little corporeal agility? |
1564 | Garrick overhearing him, exclaimed,''eh? |
1564 | Has he a right to do so? |
1564 | Have I said anything against Mr.*****? |
1564 | Have you no better manners? |
1564 | He asked me, I suppose, by way of trying my disposition,''Is not this very fine?'' |
1564 | He is quite unsocial; his conversation is quite monosyllabical: and when, at my last visit, I asked him what a clock it was? |
1564 | He made two or three peculiar observations; as when shewn the botanical garden,''Is not EVERY garden a botanical garden?'' |
1564 | He may tell you, he holds his finger in the flame of a candle, without feeling pain; would you believe him? |
1564 | He might answer,"Where is all the wonder? |
1564 | He then addressed himself to Davies:''What do you think of Garrick? |
1564 | He then began to descant upon the force of testimony, and the little we could know of final causes; so that the objections of, why was it so? |
1564 | He then called to the boy,''What would you give, my lad, to know about the Argonauts?'' |
1564 | He then repeated some ludicrous lines, which have escaped my memory, and said,''Is not that GREAT, like his Odes?'' |
1564 | He was of a club in Old- street, with me and George Psalmanazar, and some others: but pray, Sir, was he a good taylor?'' |
1564 | His Lordship however asked,''Will he write the Lives of the Poets impartially? |
1564 | How are you to get all the etymologies? |
1564 | How can a man write poetically of serges and druggets? |
1564 | How did they fight the fight that I am to fight, and how in any case did they lose or win? |
1564 | How did they play the game? |
1564 | How many friendships have you known formed upon principles of virtue? |
1564 | How shall we determine the proportion of intrinsick merit? |
1564 | How, then, have others managed, both those who failed and those who succeeded, or those, in far greatest number, who did both? |
1564 | I am very ill even when you are near me; what should I be were you at a distance?'' |
1564 | I could now tell why I should not write; for who would write to men who publish the letters of their friends, without their leave? |
1564 | I here brought myself into a scrape, for I heedlessly said,''Would not YOU, Sir, be the better for velvet and embroidery?'' |
1564 | I proceeded:''What do you think, Sir, of Purgatory, as believed by the Roman Catholicks?'' |
1564 | I took down Thomson, and read aloud a large portion of him, and then asked,--Is not this fine? |
1564 | I was once present when a gentleman asked so many as,''What did you do, Sir?'' |
1564 | I was persuaded that if I had come upon him with a direct proposal,''Sir, will you dine in company with Jack Wilkes?'' |
1564 | I will appeal to the world; and how will your judgement appear?" |
1564 | I will not be baited with WHAT, and WHY; what is this? |
1564 | I, however, would not have it thought, that Dr. Taylor, though he could not write like Johnson,( as, indeed, who could?) |
1564 | If a bull could speak, he might as well exclaim,--Here am I with this cow and this grass; what being can enjoy greater felicity?'' |
1564 | If one man in Scotland gets possession of two thousand pounds, what remains for all the rest of the nation?'' |
1564 | In such a state as ours, who would not wish to please the Chief Magistrate?'' |
1564 | In your Preface you say,"What would it avail me in this gloom of solitude?" |
1564 | Is it not, as it were, committing voluntary suicide?'' |
1564 | Is it not, to a certain degree, a delusion in us as well as in women?'' |
1564 | Is not he rather an OBTUSE man, eh?'' |
1564 | Is not that trim? |
1564 | Is not this enough for you? |
1564 | Is not this the state of life? |
1564 | Johnson was at first startled, and in some heat answered,''How can your Lordship ask so simple a question?'' |
1564 | Johnson, in a tone of displeasure, asked him,''Why do you praise Anson?'' |
1564 | Johnson, offended at being thus pressed, and so obliged to own his cursory mode of reading, answered tartly,''No, Sir, do YOU read books THROUGH?'' |
1564 | Johnson, upon this, seemed much agitated; and, in an angry tone, exclaimed,''Why will you vex me by suggesting this, when it is too late?'' |
1564 | Johnson?'' |
1564 | Madam; who is the worse for being talked of uncharitably? |
1564 | May I enquire after her? |
1564 | Miss Adams mentioned a gentleman of licentious character, and said,''Suppose I had a mind to marry that gentleman, would my parents consent?'' |
1564 | Miss---- was an instance of early cultivation, but in what did it terminate? |
1564 | Mr. Burney asked him then if he had seen Warburton''s book against Bolingbroke''s Philosophy? |
1564 | My dear Sir, you surely will not rank his compilation of the Roman History with the works of other historians of this age?'' |
1564 | No matter where; wise fear, you know, Forbids the robbing of a foe; But what, to serve our private ends, Forbids the cheating of our friends?'' |
1564 | Now what harm does it do to any man to be contradicted?'' |
1564 | Now, what is the concoction of a play?'' |
1564 | Oldfield?" |
1564 | Or what more than to hold your tongue about it? |
1564 | Perfect obligations, which are generally not to do something, are clear and positive; as,"thou shalt not kill?'' |
1564 | Peyton,--Mr. Peyton, will you be so good as to take a walk to Temple- Bar? |
1564 | Place me in the heart of Asia, should I not be exiled? |
1564 | Pray now( throwing himself back in his chair, and laughing,) are you ever able to bring the SLOE to perfection?'' |
1564 | Pray what do you mean by the question?'' |
1564 | Pray what have you heard?'' |
1564 | Pray, Sir, had you ever thought of it?'' |
1564 | Priestley?" |
1564 | Robertson?'' |
1564 | Shall the Presbyterian KIRK of Scotland have its General Assembly, and the Church of England be denied its Convocation?'' |
1564 | She and I are good friends now; are we not?'' |
1564 | Sir William Forbes said,''Might not a man warmed with wine be like a bottle of beer, which is made brisker by being set before the fire?'' |
1564 | Sir, you may analyse this, and say what is there in it? |
1564 | Sir,( said I,) In caelum jusseris ibit?'' |
1564 | Smile with the simple;--What folly is that? |
1564 | Suppose they have more knowledge at five or six years old than other children, what use can be made of it? |
1564 | Suppose you and I and two hundred more were restrained from printing our thoughts: what then? |
1564 | Suppose you teach your children to be thieves?'' |
1564 | TO DR. BROCKLESBY, he writes, Ashbourne, Sept. 9:--''Do you know the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire? |
1564 | The attempt, indeed, was dangerous; for if it had missed, what became of Garrick, and what became of the Queen? |
1564 | These Voyages,( pointing to the three large volumes of Voyages to the South Sea, which were just come out) WHO will read them through? |
1564 | They would all have some people under them; why not then have some people above them?'' |
1564 | Though firmly convinced of the truth of his doctrine, may he not think it wrong to expose himself to persecution? |
1564 | Towards the conclusion of his Taxation no Tyranny, he says,''how is it that we hear the loudest YELPS for liberty among the drivers of negroes?'' |
1564 | Upon which his Lordship very gravely, and with a courteous air said,''Pray, Sir, is it true that you are taking lessons of Vestris?'' |
1564 | WHO can repeat Hamlet''s soliloquy,"To be, or not to be,"as Garrick does it?'' |
1564 | WHO is ruined by gaming? |
1564 | Was Charles the Twelfth, think you, less respected for his coarse blue coat and black stock? |
1564 | We have physicians now with bag- wigs; may we not have airy divines, at least somewhat less solemn in their appearance than they used to be?'' |
1564 | What Frenchman is prevented from passing his life as he pleases?'' |
1564 | What can you tell of countries so well known as those upon the continent of Europe, which you have visited?'' |
1564 | What care I for his PATRIOTICK FRIENDS? |
1564 | What do you take me for? |
1564 | What has the Duke of Bedford? |
1564 | What has the Duke of Devonshire? |
1564 | What have they to do at an University who are not willing to be taught, but will presume to teach? |
1564 | What have you to do with Liberty and Necessity? |
1564 | What is CLIMATE to happiness? |
1564 | What is a friend? |
1564 | What proportion does climate bear to the complex system of human life? |
1564 | What proportion would that restraint upon us bear to the private happiness of the nation?'' |
1564 | What says Johnson?" |
1564 | When Johnson had done reading, the authour asked him bluntly,''If upon the whole it was a good translation?'' |
1564 | When asked,''What is it, Sir?'' |
1564 | When we had left Mr. Scott''s, he said''Will you go home with me?'' |
1564 | Where is religion to be learnt but at an University? |
1564 | While he was talking loudly in praise of those lines, one of the company* ventured to say,''Too fine for such a poem:--a poem on what?'' |
1564 | Who will read a five- shilling book against me? |
1564 | Why all this childish jealousy of the power of the crown? |
1564 | Why do you speak here? |
1564 | Why do you take the trouble to give us so many fine allusions, and bright images, and elegant phrases? |
1564 | Why had he not some considerable office? |
1564 | Why is all this to be swept away?'' |
1564 | Why should he complain? |
1564 | Why should she flatter ME? |
1564 | Why should we allow it then in writing? |
1564 | Why should we walk there? |
1564 | Why was he not in such circumstances as to keep his coach? |
1564 | Why, now, there is stealing; why should it be thought a crime? |
1564 | Will you allow me to send for him?'' |
1564 | Will you be so good as to carry a fifty pound note from me to him?" |
1564 | Will you give me work?" |
1564 | Will you not add,--or when driving rapidly in a post- chaise?'' |
1564 | Will you remember the name?'' |
1564 | Would he have selected certain topicks, and considered them in every view so as to be in readiness to argue them at all points? |
1564 | Would it not, for instance, be right for him to take a course of chymistry?'' |
1564 | Would not a gentleman be disgraced by having his wife singing publickly for hire? |
1564 | Would not you allow a man to drink for that reason?'' |
1564 | Would you have decrepitude?'' |
1564 | Would you have the gout? |
1564 | Would you refuse any slight gratifications to a man under sentence of death? |
