11166I ai n''t so sure about that-- but what is it, Faith? 11166 I ca n''t starve to death, can I?"
11166I consider it quite healthy enough for our purpose, Mr. Denton; for what do our salespeople know of modern sanitary improvements?
11166I do n''t blame them,said Faith slowly,"for have they not good cause to doubt?
11166I do n''t know that I can,said Faith, very sadly,"but you will let me try, at least, wo n''t you, Maggie?"
11166I have found him a good detective,said Mr. Forbes, slowly,"but if you knew who took the money why did n''t you tell him?"
11166I mean, who told you to give it to Miss Marvin?
11166I say, Miss Marvin, how would you like to be the child of such a father?
11166I wonder if Miss Brady is ill?
11166I wonder what she wishes to see me for?

11166Is it wrong to do good?
11166Is she desirous of upbraiding me, do you think, Miss Marvin?
11166Is that so, really?
11166Is that true, Miss Marvin? 11166 Is that true?
11166Is that true?
11166Is this Faith Marvin?
11166Is this the one?
11166Is your wife really ill? 11166 It will make them very angry, will it not, when they hear of your report?
11166Lose what?
11166May I ask my good angel to share her labors with me and so crown her noble life with the seal of forgiveness?
11166Miss Marvin,said Mr. Denton,"I wish you to answer a question: Are you in the habit of receiving boxes of candy as presents?"
11166Mr. Gunning is so different that you would hardly know him,she said,"and do you know, Fred, he and Miss Jones are to be married next Tuesday?
11166Mr. Watkins was taken to the hospital last night,it read;"are we expected to do anything?
11166My mother will love him and so will I-- but what is it, dear?
11166Now, tell me the truth, Sam; what did you do with the other three hundred dollars?
11166Of course I knew it, but what of that? 11166 Oh, I just love Mag Brady-- that''s why I said it I Ca n''t you see for yourself how much I love her?"
11166Oh, Mr. Denton, ca n''t you see what you''ve done? 11166 Oh, Mr. Denton, is there not some other way to do this?"
11166Oh, child, can you not see how foolish all that is?
11166Oh, do n''t I?
11166Oh, have you seen him?
11166Oh, mother, is it possible?
11166Oh, of course I signed it, but ca n''t you see why, you ninny? 11166 Oh, what difference does it make whether I do or do n''t?
11166Oh, what is it, sir?
11166Oh, what is it?
11166Oh, what is it?
11166Oh, you do expect to fail, then? 11166 Oh, you''re jealous of her, are you, Mag?"
11166On what grounds?
11166Please, Mr. Denton, may I say a few words more? 11166 Please, sir, may I see you a minute, sir?"
11166Pray, tell me who are your judges, madam?
11166She''s a beauty all right,was the buyer''s reply,"and she does n''t have to improve on nature a little bit, eh, Maggie?"
11166She''s been caught''dead to rights,''so what''s the use of mincing matters?
11166So she has told you and saved me from doing so?
11166So she tried to kill you, did she?
11166So you are looking for work? 11166 Stop who?"
11166Surely a man can flirt a little without doing any harm, and the girls all like it-- why should n''t they, Miss Marvin?
11166That Maggie Brady has it in for you, they tell me-- but say, for goodness sake, how did you manage to cut her out with Jim Denton? 11166 That is what I thought,"said Mr. Watkins, soberly;"but do you chance to know her, Miss Marvin?
11166The Lord be praised for all His goodness,said Faith, devoutly,"for what but His mercy has enacted this change?
11166Then why did you marry her?
11166Then, why not give up your fad at once and run the business properly?
11166There ai n''t no fun in a school- room, and what''s the good of studyin'', anyhow?
11166There''s that boy of mine, Jim; how is he repaying my efforts?
11166This is Miss Marvin, ai n''t it?
11166Was Miss Jennings his sweetheart?
11166Was it right that poor Mary should be born to poverty and disease and wear her young life out in agony, while so many of the wicked are flourishing? 11166 We have been sisters from the first, only you did not understand it; but tell me, is it through Miss Fairbanks that you feel so differently?"
11166Well, Hardy what have you found out about the Watkins family? 11166 Well, then, what is it?"
11166Well, they are true, so why should n''t we say them?
11166Well, what can I do for you?
11166Well, what did she say?
11166Well, what do you wish with me, sir?
11166Well, what if I do?
11166Well, who cares what you thought?
11166Well, why do n''t you all rebel and force your employers to think differently? 11166 Well, why do n''t you answer?"
11166Well, why do n''t you find him?
11166Well, why do n''t you go?
11166What did she ask you?
11166What did you do with the candy?
11166What do they cost us?
11166What do they know, indeed? 11166 What do you hear of Lou Willis?"
11166What do you mean by saying that he has become a Christian? 11166 What do you mean?"
11166What do you wish my daughter to do?
11166What does all this concern us, sir? 11166 What has Mr. Denton done now?"
11166What has he done to you?
11166What has turned you against religion, dear?
11166What is it, 83?
11166What is it, sir? 11166 What is it?
11166What is the cost of a dozen stages to a concern worth millions?
11166What is your name?
11166What news, Maggie?
11166What of it?
11166What proof have you that your reward will come? 11166 What was Jack Forbes''s funeral to you clerks, anyway?
11166What''s the matter, Hardy? 11166 What''s the use?"
11166What?
11166Where do you live?
11166Where?
11166Who are they, do you know?
11166Who dares to say that human beings who earn their living have no feelings?
11166Who gave you the box in the first place?
11166Who is it? 11166 Who the deuce is that?"
11166Who took the money? 11166 Who was he?"
11166Who was she?
11166Why did you not open them?
11166Why did you not own her as your wife?
11166Why not have it in the evening?
11166Why not?
11166Why should I not be an inspector sent from God,she murmured,"to seek out the dark places and let in the light?
11166Why should she upbraid you?
11166Why, no, I do n''t mind your talking to me, why should I? 11166 Why, what are they, Miss Fairbanks?"
11166Why, what do you mean?
11166Will He forgive indifference, rebellion, distrust?
11166Will you allow me to call upon you at your home? 11166 Would you not be happier if you did admit it?"
11166Yes, why did you not open them? 11166 You approve of all this?"
11166You are better, dear, are n''t you?
11166You are not the only pebble on the beach; did you think you were, Mag? 11166 You did, indeed, and I apologize humbly, but am I not right in thinking that I have seen you somewhere before?
11166You have refused to appear against me-- and you think me guilty?
11166You mean that she loves him?
11166You mean that you will press the charge against her and have them send her to jail? 11166 You saw how distressed I was; why could you not respect my feelings?"
11166You say the mother is penniless and young Watkins critically ill? 11166 You say you knew her when she was different, Miss Jones; have you ever tried to save her from ruin?"
11166You will sacrifice your liberty and your home life to stay here and labor, Miss Marvin?
11166Your mother''s doctor and nurse are with her, are they not? 11166 A death at our store yesterday, Watkins?
11166And what to him had been the results?
11166Are we not all sisters, who have been commanded to love one another?"
11166Are we to pay more for our goods than they are really worth, and then make a charity organization of ourselves and give them to our customers?"
11166Are you not doing wrong to talk to strangers about your father''s business?"
11166Are you not employed in the department store of Denton, Day& Co.?"
11166Are you not fond of candy, Miss Marvin?"
11166Are you sure you do n''t want it?"
11166But, by the way, where did you get it?"
11166But, tell me, how do you happen to be a packer?
11166Can I ever efface them?"
11166Can you give me any information as to where I am to go?
11166Can you not believe it?"
11166Can you not give me some hope, even though it is for the far- distant future?"
11166Can you not see it, Maggie, how you have marred your own happiness?
11166Can you reasonably look for morality of any sort in the offspring of such an infamous union?
11166Could it be possible?
11166Could you blame me for offering to share it with youth and beauty?"
11166Decide quick; which is it?"
11166Denton?"
11166Denton?"
11166Denton?"
11166Did n''t you understand my orders?"
11166Did they tell you, Mr. Denton, that I was jealous of Miss Marvin?"
11166Did you tire yourself too much last night?"
11166Do n''t they help the governor to make it?"
11166Do n''t you know that in so doing you have branded yourself a coward?"
11166Do n''t you resent the injury that was done to your father?"
11166Do n''t you see there are customers waiting?
11166Do try, dear, to humble your stubborn spirit?
11166Do you care to accept it?"
11166Do you hear, Watkins?
11166Do you know that''s a great scheme, that Salvation Army?
11166Do you mean that that woman was a regular detective?"
11166Do you think if we asked for a day we would get it?
11166Do you think you could care for him?"
11166FOR GOLD OR SOUL?
11166Got any references?
11166Got anything in particular you want to say to me?"
11166Has not hypocrisy and deceit always assumed the garb of Christianity?
11166Have you had orders to do so?"
11166Have you heard anything of his plans?"
11166Have you the grace in your heart to forgive a traitor?"
11166How are we to prevent the repetition of this horror?"
11166How can small dealers, with only a few hundred dollars behind them, expect to compete with firms whose capitals reach the millions?
11166How dare you trample upon his feelings in such a brutal manner?"
11166How did you dare to wrong that poor girl as you have?
11166I did not mean to infer that I or any human being could reach their hearts, still our words and our prayers, are they not noble weapons?"
11166I do not understand you?"
11166I look on the dark side of everything, I suppose; but listen, do you hear what that cash girl is saying?"
11166I tell you, this bit of information has set me to thinking, and the outcome of my thoughts is a simple question:''Are we men or brutes?''
11166I wish I could help him, but-- Oh, Mary, what''s the matter?"
11166I''ve set him up in business and everything else-- he''s had money and an example, but with it all, what is he?"
11166If it was n''t the girl, why did n''t you say so?"
11166If you report that girl what will be the result?
11166Is anything wrong?"
11166Is it a mere mummery of speech?
11166Is it really necessary?"
11166Is my son one of the rascals who annoy the young women under my protection?
11166Is n''t it too bad that the firm will not grant us that sacred privilege of accompanying our dead friend to her last resting place?"
11166Is n''t there a peculiar odor about these garments, Smith?"
11166Is the store such a fire- trap?"
11166Is there a recompense for the sufferings of a heartbroken father?"
11166Is there anything in our religion which can solace me, do you think?
11166It ca n''t be possible that they think I took the money, can it?
11166It will all come right by and by; but tell me, child, what in the world is the matter?"
11166Miss Dean?"
11166Miss Jennings turned very indifferently and called to another of the saleswomen:"Miss Jones, have we any number twelve lemon in reserve?
11166Now I ask you, Faith, what can you expect from this girl?
11166Or will he keep open that day to make funeral expenses?"
11166She is working for thieves, why should she not steal?
11166Should she answer the next question, which she felt sure would follow?
11166Suppose I was going to prevent the girl from earning her living?"
11166This is practical, is it not?
11166Was she joking or serious?
11166Watkins?"
11166Watkins?"
11166Watkins?"
11166Well, what can you do?
11166Well, what is it, Jackson?"
11166Well, what is it, Watkins?"
11166Well, why should n''t she?
11166Were they kind to you in that dreadful store, or will they kill my daughter, as they did my husband?"
11166What ails the dog?"
11166What could a poor girl do to injure Jim Denton?
11166What did I care who cheated them or even who robbed them?
11166What did you suppose I brought the sample for if I do n''t?"
11166What do you know of trouble?"
11166What do you want?"
11166What followed?
11166What had he accomplished of his Master''s work?
11166What has Hardy done?
11166What has happened?"
11166What has happened?"
11166What is religion, I say?
11166What number do you wish?"
11166What the old man makes his son blows in; that''s right, ai n''t it, Fairbanks?"
11166What were Denton, Day& Co. doing about that time, I''d like to know?
11166What will you give me for my interest?"
11166Who knows but that I may be able to brighten things a little?
11166Why can you not understand that it is a false morality which is killing you?
11166Why not try to reform me?"
11166Why will you not see the folly of your ways?
11166Why, Miss Marvin, have you any idea what these reforms have cost?
11166Why, it is a duty which he owes by right to God, for who else gave him the ability to make all this money?"
11166Wonder who Hardy is after?"
11166Would I be jealous if I hated him?"
11166Would n''t they grind me to death just as they did poor Miss Jennings?
11166You do n''t love her, do you, Miss Marvin?
11166You remember, the swell that calls himself Captain Deering?"
11166You say there was no writing on the package when you got it, young man, and no message or card when you opened it in the lunch- room?"
11166You surely do n''t mean it?"
11166You''d go on talking just the same; ai n''t that so, Willis?"
11166You''ve got the first claim on Jim Denton-- why do n''t you let him know it?"
11166asked Faith, very soberly;"for instance, has n''t Lou just made a lot of misery for herself?
11166asked Mr. Denton;"or, in other words, that we are advertising one grade of goods and selling another?"
11166captain?"
11166cried Faith in surprise;"but why did he leave so soon?
11166cried Mr. Watkins,"when you know that by doing so you will blast his character forever and drive a poor woman to her grave who has never wronged you?"
11166cried cash girl Number 83, as she came bounding in,"what do you think has happened?
11166have you heard the news?
11166he asked as he paced the office furiously,"or to be bankrupted through methods that border strongly on insanity?
11166said the lady, going over to where Faith sat by her friend,"or am I merely exhausting the air that the poor child should be breathing?
11166she hissed in a whisper,"after doing your best to cut me out with Jim Denton?"
11166she questioned breathlessly;"and what did you tell her?"
11166the boy who tends door?"
11166what is it?"
41909A simple country girl, what can she know about such things? 41909 And a half?"
41909And ask him just three questions; no more?
41909And why do you carpet your floor with them? 41909 And yet,"she mused,"am I sorry?
41909And yet,she mused,"what could have been her reason for haunting our store at that hour of the night?
41909Anyway, someone did, did n''t they? 41909 Are you hurt?"
41909Beg pardon?
41909Brother?
41909But Dick?
41909But Florence, where in the world did you get those marvelous etchings?
41909But Laurie, old dear,she protested,"why should I ask three questions of you?
41909But do you know--he sat up straight and there was a gleam in his eye,"do you know when I saw that barber fellow last?"
41909But her past?
41909But how am I to surprise myself?
41909But how?
41909But is it? 41909 But must we select one person, only one?"
41909But not bruised, nor bloody, nor anything like that?
41909But then, what does it matter?
41909But,she was brought up short by a sudden thought,"if he gave her his pass- out, how''s he to leave the building?"
41909But-- but how am I to get out of the building with it? 41909 But-- but your car?"
41909Ca n''t I come to see you?
41909Cash?
41909Cordie?
41909Could you?
41909Did you recognize in the hands of some violinist the Stradivarius that was stolen from your grandfather fifty years ago?
41909Do I dare?
41909Do n''t everybody on the pier know me? 41909 Do n''t you know it is?
41909Do n''t you know?
41909Do n''t you think they''re grand?
41909Do n''t you wish you knew?
41909Do you keep Peck''s Bad Boy? 41909 Do you really want one of those bags?"
41909Do you remember the time I found you-- when you fainted in the Art Museum?
41909Do you suppose he caught that man-- the one who had been following me?
41909Florence,she said at last,"do you know who Veny LeCarte was?"
41909Friend of yours, I take it?
41909Frighten me?
41909Gone?
41909Have you the Broncho Buster Boys?
41909Have you the Elsie books? 41909 He did, did he?
41909How can one secure happiness?
41909How can you do that?
41909How much am I bid?
41909How should I know? 41909 How should I know?"
41909How-- how--"How did they find out? 41909 How?"
41909How?
41909I wonder when her appreciation will reach down as deep as her pocketbook? 41909 I wonder why she did that?"
41909I wonder,she said finally,"I do wonder why Cordie does not confide in me?
41909I wonder,she went on thoughtfully,"why I do n''t cut her adrift?
41909If she''s a real person and not a spectre, what is she doing here? 41909 Is this a good book?"
41909Is this the Green Room?
41909Let me run your car, will you? 41909 May one have happiness?"
41909Might have known what?
41909My adventure?
41909Not any at all?
41909Not-- not the one who was following me?
41909Now on what floor is furniture sold?
41909Now where is that brother of hers?
41909Now why would one wear such a curious ornament?
41909Now,said Tim in a sterner voice,"tell me how Pat O''Hara''s horse comes to be lyin''there in the street?"
41909Oh, he is, eh?
41909Perhaps,she told herself,"he is some artist getting pictures from life; or an actor gathering local color for a play, or--""Is your table in order?"
41909Ready to go? 41909 Sales- people?"
41909So that was what the guard meant when he asked where my brother was? 41909 So that was what the man and the woman meant by the train leaving at eleven- thirty?"
41909Suppose there''ll be a scene, but who cares? 41909 The answer,"whispered Lucile with a little giggle,"the answer, if they say''Is this a good book?''
41909The man and the woman?
41909The one you cut cord with?
41909Then where is she?
41909Tim who?
41909Traded? 41909 Was that all?"
41909Well now, what does this mean?
41909Well, that''s me?
41909Wha-- what are they?
41909Wha-- where am I?
41909What am I to do?
41909What are you dreaming about?
41909What bag?
41909What bag?
41909What did you get?
41909What do you suppose?
41909What does he want? 41909 What has happened?"
41909What in the world can it mean?
41909What man? 41909 What say?"
41909What you got in that bag?
41909What you tryin''to do? 41909 What''s this?"
41909What''s to be afraid of?
41909What-- what did you expect to find?
41909What?
41909What?
41909Where are we?
41909Where is she? 41909 Where is she?"
41909Where is she?
41909Where''s Cordie?
41909Where''s Laurie?
41909Where-- where can she be going?
41909Where-- where is Miss Diurno?
41909Where-- where''s Tim?
41909Where?
41909Where?
41909Who could believe that they could be such children?
41909Who is James?
41909Who is Jefrey Farnsworth?
41909Who is Laurie Seymour; why is he so greatly interested in that particular book, and how does he come to know so much about it?
41909Who put that there?
41909Who will discover her? 41909 Who would have thought it?"
41909Who''ll make it fifteen? 41909 Who''s Tim?"
41909Who, Miss?
41909Who-- who was the tall lady you were speaking to a moment ago?
41909Who-- who''s there?
41909Who?
41909Whose is that?
41909Why Cordie, what''s happened?
41909Why did you steal my badge of serfdom?
41909Why did you take my coat?
41909Why did you, who are such a very great musician, undertake the humble task of assisting in a newspaper stunt?
41909Why do n''t you tell me?
41909Why not?
41909Why not?
41909Why should one hope for it when they may really have it?
41909Why?
41909Why?
41909Will you sell me this?
41909Wonder what that touch of scarlet means?
41909Would n''t you, though? 41909 Yes, yes, how could you?
41909You do n''t read about any, do you?
41909You got it?
41909You here?
41909You still here? 41909 You-- you are Jefrey Farnsworth?"
41909You-- you did n''t get him?
41909Your what?
41909Above all, what were the secrets of the crimson thread and the diamond set iron ring?
41909And Cordie?
41909And I?
41909And indeed she was, for was it not hanging on the wall in that narrow passage at the door of which the mystery lady had appeared?
41909And is n''t it funny that she should have a diamond set in it?
41909And then what?"
41909And then?
41909And then?
41909And then?"
41909And was not the seal unbroken?
41909And what of Lucile?
41909And what right had she to spy upon her and upon Laurie?
41909And why did they do it?"
41909And why not?
41909Are n''t they splendid?
41909Are you in on it?"
41909At an end, did I say?
41909But a country girl?
41909But had she been without baggage?
41909But how?
41909But tell me, why did you take a job as wrapper when you really was n''t poor and did n''t need the money?"
41909But what was this?
41909But who could it be?
41909But who was she, after all?
41909But why had her double made up her hair in her exact fashion, donned an elevator girl''s uniform and taken her elevator from her?
41909But why?
41909CHAPTER XI AS SEEN FROM THE STAIRWAY"Where in the world have you been?"
41909CHAPTER XXIII MEG''S SECRET And what of Florence and Meg?
41909Cordie?
41909Could it be that as he smiled and nodded to her she caught in his eye a look of witching mockery?
41909Could she have been in the city all this time?
41909Could you have them hurry a little?
41909Dared she hope it was the villains''car?
41909Dick, do you suppose he''d care?"
41909Did ever a girl pay so dearly for her own Christmas surprise?
41909Did ever two girls have more to tell in one short noon hour?
41909Did it not still contain Florence''s Christmas secret?
41909Did you ever see a tiny bird balancing himself on a twig over a rushing waterfall and singing his little heart away?
41909Do n''t you think so?"
41909Do you believe that?
41909Do you believe that?"
41909Do you really?
41909Do you suppose he could be a pirate in hiding?"
41909Do you?
41909Eh?"
41909Even the watch- dog knows me?
41909For a moment he gripped the girl''s hand, then turning to Tim, said:"You''ll look after her?
41909Give''em their turn, ca n''t you?"
41909Had her emotions led her astray?
41909Had it been a footstep?
41909Had she drawn that thread through the page of Lucile''s cash book?
41909Had she ever seen her?
41909Had she heard footsteps on the deck below?
41909Had she really gone to work, or had she vanished?
41909Had she seen a ghost, a ghost of herself?
41909Had the Lady of the Spirit of Christmas vanished?
41909Had the mystery woman put it there?
41909Have n''t I enough to do in looking after myself?"
41909Have they known each other long?
41909He could not get it, and aside from that, what did he care for her, an elevator girl going home from work?
41909He left me just enough to get back to Chicago, but what did I care?
41909Her face turned crimson as she stammered:"Oh, what have I done?
41909How can I ever thank you enough?"
41909How did it happen that an elevator in a department store at night ran of its own accord with no one to work the lever?
41909How had he spent that night?
41909How had it happened that she was in the store that night at two hours before midnight?
41909How had the unusual crimson thread come to be drawn into the cloth of the cape?
41909How indeed?
41909How is one to explain that?"
41909How is that possible?
41909How serious were the injuries of these, her friends?
41909How shall I escape?"
41909How was an officer to know who was in the right?
41909How was she to account for that?
41909How would it do to allow our friend Lucile to ask all the questions-- three around for each of us?"
41909How-- how can I?"
41909I must----"As she started toward the wrapping stand where stood the Mystery Lady, a voice at her elbow said:"Will you sell me this?
41909I suppose you never wondered before how this huge building got heated?
41909I wonder if I shall see him?
41909I wonder if she is?
41909I wonder what he''s done to James?"
41909I wonder what it could mean?"
41909I wonder when they''ll find him, and where?
41909I wonder-- I do wonder why I did it?"
41909If she had, what would her reason have been?
41909If so, why did he let it get away from him?"
41909If so, why did she not wish to go?
41909In the dream still she saw the lady throw up her hands to exclaim:"That frayed thing?
41909Is it quite gone yet?
41909Is it the bag that he wants?
41909Is this-- this where you always stay?
41909It would seem so, else why would he consent so readily to the delay, which must mean proof one way or another?
41909Know who wears skins like that?
41909Listen--"Cordie listened as she worked, and this, from a score of pairs of lips, is what she heard:"Have you got the Alger books?"
41909Little, or much?
41909Lucile was about to follow, when a guard, touching her on the shoulder, demanded:"Got a pass?"
41909Might not her belongings be in the hands of some landlady at the present time?
41909Might she not owe a board bill?
41909News boys, staring up at lady customers who slipped them pennies for papers, wondered:"Are you the Christmas Lady?"
41909Nine times out of ten, when a woman customer says''Is this a good book?''
41909Now he''ll have to come back for it and I''ll--""Who''s Sam?"
41909Now what about this bag?"
41909On-- only do it, will you?"
41909Open it and let him see what was inside?
41909Open it?
41909See that she gets safely back to her friends?"
41909Shall I grasp your hand?"
41909She was free from the elevator, but where was she?
41909Shoppers gazed into faces of fellow shoppers to wonder:"Are you the Spirit of Christmas?
41909Should she attempt to open them and make a leap for it?
41909Should she go and tell the girl?
41909Should she let the person in?
41909Should she make one more attempt to rescue Laurie from whatever plight he may have gotten himself into?
41909Should she turn back?
41909So how could I desert him for gold?"
41909So it is you who win?
41909So why provoke a frown, and Christmas only two weeks away?"
41909Such were those who crowded round the high stand where, with gavel in hand, the auctioneer cried the sale:"How much am I bid?
41909Take my place, wo n''t you?
41909That day I took your place and you wore my clothes I----""Who-- who''s that?"
41909That was fair enough, was n''t it?"
41909The street was gay with light and laughter, for was not this the night of all nights, the night before Christmas?
41909Then at last he pulled out an oily cotton bag from somewhere far back in the corner and drew out of it-- what do you think?
41909Then she said quietly:"Would you mind telling me about yourself?"
41909Then suddenly,"Where''s it gone?"
41909Tryin''to commit suicide?
41909Was ever anyone in such a mess?
41909Was he indeed the girl''s brother?
41909Was her dream of a surprise for Christmas morning only a dream?
41909Was it his?
41909Was it that man?
41909Was it the bag he wanted?
41909Was n''t it terrible?"
41909Was she in danger?"
41909Was she really the poor, innocent little country girl she had thought her?
41909Was that girl supposed to go?
41909Was the hawk- eyed man who had attempted to gain possession of Florence''s bag the same one who had attempted to kidnap Cordie?
41909Was this girl hiding from her people, attempting to run away?
41909Was this some ominous omen?
41909Were they tears of vexation or gratitude, or merely tired tears?
41909What can you recommend?"
41909What chance could there be of escape?
41909What could it contain?
41909What could she possibly know about interior decorating and furnishing?
41909What customer could refuse such a book?
41909What did Laurie know about that?
41909What did he know about the bag?
41909What did it mean?
41909What did it really contain?
41909What did that matter?
41909What do you mean?"
41909What does she know about the Mystery Lady?
41909What had happened to the vanished author of"Blue Flames"?
41909What had happened?
41909What had she meant by the crimson trail she left behind?
41909What had this lady been doing in that narrow passage?
41909What if her fears proved true?
41909What if it contained stolen goods?
41909What in the world are you doing?"
41909What indeed?
41909What made you think there was?"
41909What manner of plot had she been mixed up in?
41909What might it not contain?
41909What of Cordie?
41909What proof had she that this beautiful creature was a thief?
41909What say, Cordie?
41909What shall I do?"
41909What shall I do?"
41909What should she do?
41909What sort of an affair was this she was getting into, anyway?
41909What train had gone at eleven- thirty?
41909What was she to do?
41909What was she to make of the face?
41909What was that?
41909What was the use?
41909What was there to do?
41909What was this ghost- like apparition that had appeared at the entrance to the long dark passage- way?
41909What was this?
41909What was to be done?
41909What was to be done?
41909What was to be the end of this terrible adventure?
41909What was to come of her, once the season had closed?
41909What were they to do once the car was overtaken?
41909What will I care after that?"
41909What would James do to the man if he caught him?
41909What would happen if Rennie, the dear mother and straw- boss of us all, should slip before a car and be seriously injured to- night?
41909What would happen?
41909What would she do next?
41909What would the watchman do if he found her?
41909What y''got in that bag?"
41909What''s the port?"
41909What''s this?"
41909When do we start?"
41909When will it be?
41909When would all this maze of mysteries be solved?
41909Where did she live?
41909Where had he slept that night?
41909Where has she gone?"
41909Where was she to- day?
41909Where was she?
41909Where''s O''Hara''s stand?"
41909Which do you sell?
41909Which of these fifty- cent books would you recommend?"
41909Which way should she turn?
41909Which?"
41909Who cared about anything?
41909Who cared if room rent was due to- night?
41909Who cared if the school term loomed ahead with little enough cash in her stocking to smooth its way?
41909Who could have taken it?
41909Who could it be?
41909Who could say?
41909Who could tell?
41909Who knows what may have been the reason?
41909Who was Cordie?
41909Who was Laurie Seymour?
41909Who was Sam?
41909Who was she anyway?
41909Who was the Mystery Lady?
41909Who was the mystery woman of the night shadows in the book department?
41909Who was the"Spirit of Christmas"?
41909Who was this man?
41909Who was your friend?"
41909Who will get the gold?"
41909Who would get the two hundred in gold?
41909Who would n''t?
41909Who would not envy her?
41909Who would not like one for his room?
41909Who would not love to open his eyes each morning upon the girl in the''Song of the Lark''?
41909Who''ll make it twelve?"
41909Who''s the first?"
41909Who-- who-- is some of her folks dead?"
41909Whose bag was it?
41909Whose train?
41909Why did James go into such a fit of anger at sight of the stranger at the door?
41909Why did she not return for it later?
41909Why did this evil looking man with the scar above his eye want her bag so badly?
41909Why do you want one of those bags so badly?"
41909Why had Laurie given her his pass- out?
41909Why had Laurie given up his pass- out?
41909Why had he given the Mystery Lady his pass- out?
41909Why had he talked so strangely about it?
41909Why had she left her gorgeously beautiful cape behind for a shop girl to wear home?
41909Why had she left the cape that night?
41909Why had the Mystery Lady done that?
41909Why not walk in there and leave the bag at the checking room?
41909Why not?"
41909Why not?"
41909Why should I be looking after her?
41909Why should he suddenly become such a violent champion of my cause?
41909Why should she have left the cape?"
41909Why the crimson thread?
41909Why the iron ring?
41909Why was Laurie so much afraid to meet him?
41909Why, then, should she concern herself with the outcome of an affair which he had clearly entered into of his own free will?
41909Why?
41909Why?
41909Why?
41909Will you?
41909Wo n''t that be romantic?"
41909Wo n''t you please talk to this-- this policeman until I can go to the restaurant on the corner and get some?"
41909Would a romance spring up between the rich girl Cordie and the gallant young policeman, Patrick O''Hara?
41909Would n''t it be a joke to come upon her wearing it?
41909Would n''t it, though?
41909Would she have told why she asked Florence to wear her clothes for a half day and play the role of Meg?
41909You believe that, do n''t you?"
41909You have n''t had a bite to eat, have you?"
41909You never read about my wrapping bundles, did you?
41909You say he was all mussed up when he came back?"
41909You?
41909Your friend?"
41909she exclaimed suddenly,"Do you know James?"
15014A peace offering?
15014About your meeting Miss Child?
15014Ai n''t I man enough?
15014Ai n''t she the baby doll?
15014Ai n''t you some chicken to go on askin''silly questions about a good thing? 15014 Ai n''t you the fresh guy?"
15014An earl, is he? 15014 And Miss Rolls, too---""She came?"
15014And about the girl, too?
15014And how do I know Miss Hampshire''ll_ take_ you?
15014And just what do you want to do in New York, Miss Child?
15014And so-- you were in the store even then? 15014 And the books?"
15014And you''ll write to_ me,_ wo n''t you, and let me know how you get along? 15014 And you, sir?"
15014Are n''t there others coming?
15014Are you surprised that I remember your name, Miss Child?
15014Balm of Gilead?
15014Before three? 15014 But say, wo n''t you just look and see if there''s a note under the cover?
15014But true? 15014 But what if a mouse had tried to hide?"
15014But what if life''s parted you from her?
15014But when a chap''s a girl''s friend what_ is_ he to call her?
15014But who invites me?
15014But-- if one''s in earnest, need one take no for an answer?
15014Ca n''t you take a joke, Petro?
15014Could anything be worse?
15014Could n''t you find out?
15014Could n''t you give me just a small first instalment of it now? 15014 Could you?"
15014Did a man give you this box for me?
15014Did he invent it?
15014Did n''t what?
15014Did n''t you never chew gum before?
15014Did you ever dance the tango?
15014Did you like that?
15014Did you tell her you''d invite her down?
15014Did you-- had you-- told her you_ cared_?
15014Do n''t you believe I am happy?
15014Do n''t you know I''m liable to have you discharged for impudence?
15014Do n''t you remember I told you the house was lent to my artist friend by the folks who own it and who''ve gone away for the summer to the seashore? 15014 Do n''t you remember me?
15014Do n''t you think I_ know_ it?
15014Do you call that an excitement? 15014 Do you know what that means?"
15014Do you like this place better than Nadine''s?
15014Do you mean to say that they''ve sent her away to die and have n''t given her anything?
15014Do you think you can?
15014Does he still''work with his own hands?''
15014Does the barber keep them as well as Balm of Gilead?
15014Don''t-- trust you?
15014Eh, what, Miss Rolls?
15014For a small girl or a large girl? 15014 For heaven''s sake, what are you giggling at?"
15014Girl? 15014 Gone?"
15014Got any friends there besides me?
15014Has he ever by chance said anything to you about the Lady in the Moon?
15014Have I done anything to offend you?
15014Have a spruce cream?
15014Have you been in this country long?
15014Have you ever seen a check book?
15014Have you? 15014 He is-- dead?"
15014He never has asked you? 15014 Horrid old Hands, eh?
15014How do you do, Miss Child? 15014 How do you do, Miss Child?"
15014How do you do?
15014How? 15014 Howdy do?"
15014I hope I''m not interrupting anything important?
15014I suppose it would be no use calling on a business man before three o''clock?
15014I suppose there''s nothing we can do for you?
15014I suppose we''re allowed to sit down for a minute when there''s nothing to do?
15014I want to know whether the blouse department beats that_ Monarchic_ room with all the mirrors-- what?
15014I was wondering,he said at last, when he was about to go,"whether you''d care for me to bring you some Balm of Gilead?"
15014I wisht I could be just as sure_ you_---"As sure that I''m happy?
15014I wonder what your steward thinks? 15014 I wonder why?
15014I wonder,said Eileen,"if a man''s a good judge of why a girl does things that she does?
15014If you ca n''t see for yourself, what are your eyes for?
15014If you do, why have n''t you found out all these things, and more, long ago?
15014Is it so wonderful?
15014Is she in New York still?
15014Is she pretty?
15014Is that all? 15014 Is that the police?"
15014Is there anything you''d take for a present, one of you? 15014 Is this the thing that''s made you so grumpy ever since?"
15014It has n''t quite ended yet, has it?
15014It''s more than kind of you to give me your place, but really I---"Ai n''t we the polite one?
15014Just a young lady, eh?
15014Know what to do with it?
15014Know who I am?
15014Lady Eileen did what?
15014Let me tell you what some of them are, wo n''t you, before you condemn them?
15014Man or woman?
15014Me? 15014 Miss Child?
15014Neither of us would be so medieval, would we?
15014Never has asked you?
15014No connections with titles?
15014No, but he has n''t said he will, has he?
15014Not ended?
15014Not homesick yet for our side of the water-- what?
15014Nothing worse than a headache, I hope, takes you to the H.R.?
15014Oh, Peter,_ would_ you help me like that, in a man''s way?
15014Oh, indeed, is that so? 15014 Oh, why did we leave our peaceful homes?"
15014Oh, wo n''t you? 15014 Oh, you bought it to please_ her_--the girl like a golliwog?"
15014Or--and she tried to catch the office note of sprightliness--"does he inhabit a roof garden?"
15014Per what?
15014Perhaps she would trust you to pick out something she might see in her own room? 15014 Perhaps you are n''t very rich?
15014Quite free?
15014Rather cheap for such a handsome doll, is n''t it? 15014 Say, Rolls, are you the great female impersonator?
15014Shall I see who it is, or shall I let them knock and go away?
15014She ai n''t_ natural._ What''ll you bet she''s a spy? 15014 Should n''t you?
15014So we were a last resort, eh?
15014So you do n''t trust your own father?
15014Some one you loved died?
15014Something about us?
15014Sure nothing could make you remember?
15014Sure you wo n''t change your mind and take a little fizz? 15014 Sweetie?"
15014Thanks to me?
15014That''s the same thing, is n''t it?
15014That''s_ all_ you want to hear, is it?
15014The white dress,_ moddam? 15014 Then it was a damned lie, and no one but a damned fool would believe it,"shouted Peter Rolls, Sr."My boy a deceiver of women?
15014Then why are you so unkind to me now after being nice on the ship?
15014Then you would n''t want to cheat me about such a thing, would you? 15014 Then_ you_ know about it?"
15014Tired, girlie?
15014Trouble? 15014 Us?
15014Want me to say your tie''s all right?
15014Was he nice looking?
15014Was that mutt a gentleman friend of yours, kid, or was he some fresh guy? 15014 Well, a little of this champagne cup, anyhow?
15014Well, not too much of a sacrifice, I hope,Logan temporized"You do n''t regret standing by?"
15014Well, what else am I?
15014Well?
15014Were the chocolates hers?
15014What about the doll you all call''Little Sister?''
15014What d''ye mean?
15014What did you think of her?
15014What do I care whether_ you_ know or not? 15014 What do you call being thorough-- not''leaving a stone unturned?''
15014What do you mean?
15014What do you mean?
15014What do you see her doing in your dreams?
15014What do you think of Broadway?
15014What do you want me to do?
15014What do you want?
15014What else could I do?
15014What excitement?
15014What is it? 15014 What kind of a doll?"
15014What kind of a jay do you take me for?
15014What makes you so sure of that, eh?
15014What man does she love who loves another girl?
15014What ought I to say to Gloves?
15014What put that idea in your darling head?
15014What references?
15014What rest?
15014What should we do if a woman did come, and we had to get up?
15014What sort of title is it?
15014What was there to tell?
15014What will Miss Rolls do to stop Lord Raygan from wanting to come-- and from saying anything about me to the others?
15014What word do you refer to? 15014 What''s the matter with your hands?"
15014What''s the matter?
15014What''s the matter?
15014What''s your father, anyhow?
15014What-- Teddy Bear? 15014 What?"
15014Where did Lady Eileen see my dryad girl-- in the dream?
15014Where is he? 15014 Where the girl is or anything about her?"
15014Which other have you got a letter to?
15014Which words?
15014Who cares how it sounds? 15014 Who the devil has been upsetting you with lies about the Hands?"
15014Who was it, then? 15014 Who''s Father?"
15014Who''s to stop them? 15014 Who, the Lady in the Moon?"
15014Why did you let that lady go without showing her any of our best dolls?
15014Why do you ask?
15014Why lock up?
15014Why not prove to them any more?
15014Why not the stage? 15014 Why not?"
15014Why on earth not?
15014Why should I? 15014 Why, Cupid, how did you come by this gorgeousness?"
15014Why, does the name of Frederick Doland Fortescue mean anything to you?
15014Why, what have you got to say about the Hands?
15014Why-- what do you mean?
15014Why?
15014Will you do it, Father? 15014 Will you give me a few minutes to myself?"
15014Would n''t I? 15014 Would you like to see something else, different from what we are showing?
15014Would you rather do the job by your lones, or shall my man show you the way? 15014 You Miss Child?"
15014You do n''t believe me?
15014You do n''t mean to tell me he fell in love with you when you were seasick?
15014You do take this as I mean it, do n''t you?
15014You do think you''re_ some_ girl, do n''t you?
15014You do? 15014 You fool, do you think I wish to keep you after what you''ve done?"
15014You let her go?
15014You look as if you might be a-- a boxer-- or---"Or what?
15014You mean about your going to the Hands? 15014 You mean my father and I?"
15014You really wish it?
15014You run down your father''s shop?
15014You tell me this? 15014 You''re not unhappy?"
15014Your only real home? 15014 _ Do n''t_ you know?
15014_ What_ told you?
15014_ When_ did you buy me a dress? 15014 _ Your son asked you to send for me_?
15014( Why, if proof were needed, was not the torn wisp of chiffon enough?)
15014(_ Do_ pigs purr?)
15014A minute ago she had been asking herself,"How many weeks like this can I live through?"
15014After all, why should a camel attendant dare to know anything about them?
15014Afterward, will you work right up to the''good thing''you can put him on to?
15014Also, was it just the Christmas spirit, or had Lily done something special to earn the money?
15014An aigret jabbed viciously at the tall shop- girl''s eye, and Miss Rolls said hastily:"What Lady in the Moon?
15014And about what price do you wish to pay?"
15014And his asking not to be disturbed all the afternoon,"can it mean that he''s got a special reason for wanting to be let alone hour after hour?"
15014And how was she to be got rid of in a desperate hurry without making Lord Raygan cross?
15014And if she does, wo n''t she fall dead at the price?
15014And say, that reminds me: heaven looks a long way from here, do n''t it?"
15014And so Petro ventured on a"What?"
15014And who would dare complain to Saint Peter about his respectable right hand?
15014And why not?"
15014And yet-- did she want to go back home?
15014And you do hate to part with much of your conversation at one time, do n''t you?
15014And, anyway, how will she get there?
15014Any chance of your father inheriting?"
15014Are all the rest like him?"
15014Are n''t you sick of his society yet?"
15014Are you going to buy a cloak?
15014Are you living in New York at present?
15014Are you lunching in or out?"
15014Are you playing poker with him this afternoon?"
15014Are you wearing black under that jacket?"
15014Are you?"
15014Basement?"
15014Burritt?"
15014But I hope I''ve been of some assistance to make up for doing my disagreeable duty, sir?"
15014But do you know, I believe mother would be glad to hear that you sometimes go to the store?
15014But it is hard, standing up so long, especially after such a rush as we''ve had, is n''t it?"
15014But perhaps you did find out?"
15014But there''s another law-- the law of hospitality, is n''t there?
15014But was she near enough?
15014But what can we do?
15014But what else can I_ do_?
15014But what?
15014But will she?
15014But-- could he be certain?
15014But-- ought I to take it?
15014But-- wouldn''t that be like the ostrich hiding its head in the sand?
15014But_ can_ one get_ three_ different things to eat for three cents?
15014But_ would_ we have been better if it had been madame who looked in?"
15014Ca n''t one of our young ladies show you something else?"
15014Ca n''t you eat any caviar?
15014Ca n''t you_ hear_ perfume?
15014Can I?"
15014Can you bring her here?"
15014Can you forgive me?"
15014Could Ena have done something to put them apart?
15014Could n''t you be serious for just a minute?
15014Could n''t you tell me what changed you toward me on the ship?
15014Could the far- away and almost omnipotent Mr. Meggison have had secret knowledge of this lion''s den into which he had thrown her?
15014Cutie?"
15014Day dresses?
15014Did my sister put you against me-- or our friendship-- in any way?"
15014Did n''t you understand?"
15014Did you ever read''Quo Vadis?''"
15014Did you never hear of it?"
15014Did you_ ever?_ No wonder I like him!
15014Do n''t you remember her in the moon dress?
15014Do n''t you_ like_ poor little Lady Eileen?"
15014Do you get yes?"
15014Do you know it?"
15014Do you know, my veil is_ soaked_?"
15014Do you s''pose I''m the sort would do anything myself, or ask you to do anything, that was n''t all right?
15014Do you see what I mean?
15014Do you think I''m such a blamed idiot as to leave a way out open after all the trouble and expense I''ve put myself to on your account?"
15014Do you?"
15014Do you?"
15014Does it say again that you''re engaged to Eileen?"
15014Does n''t Nadine pay her wages?"
15014Evening cloaks?
15014For heaven''s sake, who is the girl?"
15014For instance, if a girl showed you very plainly she could n''t be bothered with you, it would be weak to run after her, would n''t it?"
15014Garret to cellar and all the rest?"
15014Girls do n''t need much help nowadays Who is she?
15014Give me the benefit of the doubt till those good men and true are the other side of the front door, will you?
15014Had he a right to take such chances when the girl''s safety might depend on police knowledge of her whereabouts?
15014Had it anything to do with my family-- any gossip you heard?"
15014Have I seen her?"
15014Have you got any?"
15014Have you really got something swell?
15014Have you worked in any of the big department stores there-- Harrods''or Selfridge''s?"
15014He knew Little Sister, for had not his beloved"Kid"ruffled his feelings by remarking on a likeness between her pet doll and himself?
15014He stared her in the eyes as if to ask:"What trick do you hope to play, I wonder?
15014Her discharge already?
15014House on fire?"
15014How can we manage it?
15014How did he do it?
15014How do you do, Miss-- er-- er?
15014How do you know you''ll have a previous engagement?"
15014How''s everything?"
15014How''s mother?
15014How''s yourself?
15014I can run to fifteen cents, as far as I''m concerned How is it with you, Miss Child?"
15014I felt I must give you this tiny warning, for Peter has such a_ trustworthy_ air, has n''t he?"
15014I forgot-- I have n''t told you of that yet, have I?"
15014I hope I''m not like anything so awful as that?"
15014I hope you''re not engaged to anybody else for the next dance?"
15014I suppose we must n''t think o''the Waldorf-- what?"
15014I suppose you do n''t mind us going on with our supper if I spare you Sims and we help ourselves to food?"
15014I think the young person I intend to give it to will be pleased, do n''t you?"
15014I think, what if I should see her face framed in some car window?
15014I was wonderin''---""Wondering what?"
15014I wonder what he wanted?"
15014If Peter''s sister were insincere in one way, why not untrustworthy in others?
15014If the dryad had sold her dress, would the fresia fragrance haunt it still?
15014Instead of saying that she could not, Win said:"Why should n''t I?"
15014Is it yours?"
15014Is n''t it ridiculous?
15014Is n''t that so, Father?"
15014Is she tall or short?"
15014Is that enough?
15014Is that policy?"
15014Is that the sort of conversation Ena''s been treating you to?
15014Is that what you''re doing, too?
15014Is there anything you want?"
15014It does look so, does n''t it?
15014It was-- good heavens!--_what_ was it?
15014It''s a sort of fad, is n''t it-- in your set?
15014Let me think-- what was her name?"
15014Might the dress be sent to_ moddam''s_ cabin to try?
15014Miss Secker and I''ll take you, if you would, wo n''t we, Miss Secker?"
15014Mother, do you know what a_''leitmotif''_ is?"
15014Nadine''s designs?"
15014Now can you guess whom I mean?"
15014Now do n''t you remember?
15014Now do you see the point?"
15014Now where had she heard that quotation about the"foolish question?"
15014Now, do you feel like tellin''me things about her?"
15014Now_ do_ you think Rags ought to resist the daughter of such a house when church mice have long ago cut our acquaintance?
15014Oh, why had she believed Mr. Löwenfeld when he vowed that the one secure sanctuary against the Rolls family was in Peter Rolls''s store?
15014Or is it the y- lang- y- lango?
15014Perhaps you noticed that I did n''t seem overwhelmed with joy at sight of her?"
15014Perhaps you''ve a long mirror somewhere?
15014Pindar?"
15014Rather rum-- what?"
15014Rolls?"
15014Savvy?"
15014Say, did you get on to the_ sale_ job?
15014Say, is that your mutt''s automobile sort of following along in our wake?"
15014Say, it''s some swell street, ai n''t it?"
15014Say, this is a raid, ai n''t it?
15014Say, this is real fun, ai n''t it?"
15014See here, what about your dress?
15014See?
15014See?"
15014See?"
15014Shall I ring?
15014Shall I write it down?"
15014She said: What was the fun of having money if you could n''t know all the best people everywhere, and be of them as well as merely among them?
15014Should she stay at home, after all, and tell Lily that the heat had made her too limp to stir?
15014So what does anything of that sort matter?
15014So you were one of those models when you first met my son?"
15014Some beast, or some idiot?"
15014Supposing there were some hiding- place?
15014Sure you can get off, sonny?"
15014That''s true, is n''t it?"
15014That''s why I''m here for one thing, though there''s another---""What?"
15014The day Lord Raygan offered to go back to that room and choose me one and I said no, I did n''t want a dress?"
15014The fact is---""What?"
15014To help her get on?
15014Waiting for you somewhere to hear the news?"
15014Was she never to get rid of the memory of those hypocritical blue eyes?
15014Was there nothing,_ nothing_ she could do for her own and the general good?
15014Well, I promised it to you, did n''t I?
15014Well, shall we skip along to the consommà ©?"
15014What about London?"
15014What about you, Rolls?
15014What are you?"
15014What could she have done to be sent off at the end of a week-- she who had tried so hard?
15014What did you do for a living on your side?"
15014What do you say to_ Gloves_?"
15014What do you suggest?"
15014What does that mean, if you do n''t much mind my asking?"
15014What does the girl want help for?
15014What else did he do?"
15014What girl, unless silly and Victorian, would be afraid of a dude who lived for the sleekness of his hair and the spick- and- spanness of his clothes?
15014What had the eyes in the cracked glass said just now?
15014What happened then?"
15014What if she_ was_ cross?
15014What made you pick out ours?"
15014What money do you want?
15014What other reason could there be?"
15014What should she-- Win-- do if Father invited her to dine with him, as it seemed he did invite some of the girls?
15014What the ship does now?"
15014What use?
15014What will that floorwalker chap say if Little Sister is thrown back on Peter Rolls''s hands?
15014What would a spy do in a shop?"
15014What"--_sotto voce_--"are you laughing at_ this_ time?"
15014What''s the use shellin''out for meals and not bein''home to them?
15014What''s up?
15014When his father said uneasily:"Why do n''t you travel, my boy?"
15014Where did you buy your swell accent?"
15014Where did you get it?"
15014Where have you lived?"
15014Where may I put my cloak?
15014Where shall it be?
15014Where was it?"
15014Where''s the other coward?"
15014Which one do you suggest?"
15014Who could gaze at living models?"
15014Who could have sent them?"
15014Who did?"
15014Who else is here?
15014Who stuffed you up to the neck with all that damned nonsense about''sweat and tears?''
15014Who the devil warned you?
15014Who told you?
15014Who was there to tell?
15014Who would have thought of meeting you here?"
15014Who''d believe it, you''re so quiet?"
15014Why might not a sister, even with the best intentions, be mistaken about a brother?
15014Why not?
15014Why should n''t I be wanting to buy one of the dresses off their backs for my sister?"
15014Why should n''t she believe them instead of Ena Rolls''s dreadful hints?
15014Why should she be afraid when she intended-- really_ quite_ intended-- to leave the Hands of her own accord?
15014Why should she have thought of him then?
15014Why the dickens should he be miserable?
15014Why?
15014Will that please you?"
15014Will you do me a great favour in a big hurry?"
15014Will you give me a chance?"
15014Will you guide us?"
15014Will you keep it till my customer turns up?"
15014Win fancied she heard him add:"What salary?"
15014Win had always thought"How dare you?"
15014Win thanked him, but turned inside the door to ask:"Are n''t you coming, Miss Leavitt?"
15014Wonder if they''ve got the Black Maria outside?
15014Would Lord Raygan go so far in his dislike of snobbishness as to welcome an assistant culled from his bride''s father''s shop as a sister- in- law?
15014Would he expect her to say"Sir?"
15014Would n''t that be something like making your fortune in New York?"
15014Would she ever be like that?
15014Would she not?
15014Would she?
15014Would such a man as Ena Rolls had sketched in her shadow portrait of a brother bring his mother to meet a shop girl whom he fancied?
